- 1:06Speaker 2: Rocky ducky Wednesday here. It's finally game week. We've all
- 1:09Speaker 2: waited for this moment. So we've been talking about all
- 1:13Speaker 2: the hype coming up and you know, this off season
- 1:16Speaker 2: didn't feel like any hype coming up to this first game.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I'll tell you what this right now. I'm jacked. I
- 1:22Speaker 2: cannot wait. Tomorrow's kind of kickoff. By the way, usually
- 1:26Speaker 2: there's some big games Thursday night. I don't know what
- 1:28Speaker 2: cultural thing in this year. There's no, I Georgia tech,
- 1:30Speaker 2: Colorado's it. Like usually there's one or two big ones.
- 1:33Speaker 2: And that's not even a huge one. I, I think
- 1:35Speaker 2: Colorado's going to absolutely blow. But, so I don't know
- 1:39Speaker 2: what they're doing there. Friday night's no big games either. Actually,
- 1:42Speaker 2: the whole week one's, besides Sunday, there's not very many
- 1:46Speaker 2: big games on week one, which I'll get into week
- 1:48Speaker 2: two here in a little bit. But, so the first
- 1:51Speaker 2: game of the year here, Ohio, they have a whole
- 1:56Speaker 2: new quarterback. They have a whole, basically a whole new team, coach, quarterback, everything.
- 2:02Speaker 2: These games, what you need to do to win is
- 2:04Speaker 2: you need to step on the throne early. You have to,
- 2:09Speaker 2: if you give these teams any hope at all, I
- 2:10Speaker 2: just saw a highlight of Adelaide State beating Michigan. Michigan
- 2:14Speaker 2: let that team get up early and stay in that game.
- 2:18Speaker 2: If you give these teams hope, they're going to stick
- 2:21Speaker 2: around and then crazy crap's going to happen at the end.
- 2:27Speaker 2: So what I want Nebraska to do here is at
- 2:29Speaker 2: least be up 21-3 at the end of the first quarter. Now,
- 2:34Speaker 2: here's another thing you want to do on these, especially
- 2:36Speaker 2: these first three games, since they're easy for Nebraska is
- 2:39Speaker 2: you got to figure out, especially the running back room here.
- 2:43Speaker 2: It's another part I want to talk about. The depth
- 2:46Speaker 2: chart came out here. They got three different running backs
- 2:49Speaker 2: on there. So they have no clue who's going to
- 2:50Speaker 2: be the running back. They have to, they have to
- 2:54Speaker 2: figure out who they want to be the starter. These
- 2:56Speaker 2: first three games and stick that you can have other
- 2:58Speaker 2: guys behind him that you can bring in third down, whatever,
- 3:00Speaker 2: but their main starter, that's, That's what I think they
- 3:04Speaker 2: need to do the first three games. And you know what?
- 3:10Speaker 2: Screw it. Let Calandria go out there and just chuck
- 3:12Speaker 2: the ball. These first three games to see, see what
- 3:14Speaker 2: he has. So yeah. And if he sucks, he sucks. Let,
- 3:18Speaker 2: let him, let him chuck it. Now. Here's another big
- 3:23Speaker 2: part about this Ohio game is the last, the last
- 3:26Speaker 2: game calendar played is he lost Ohio. He saw, I
- 3:31Speaker 2: was looking back, Me and some other people Friday night
- 3:34Speaker 2: watched the highlights of that game. I thought he looked
- 3:36Speaker 2: great in that game. I went back and looked at
- 3:38Speaker 2: his stats. Not a great game from him at all. Horrible.
- 3:44Speaker 2: But rewatching that game, his offensive line absolutely sucked. I think, well,
- 3:50Speaker 2: we've heard this. This could be a bunch of bullcrap
- 3:52Speaker 2: from Rule. And this offensive line is supposed to be
- 3:54Speaker 2: a lot better for Nebraska. So I hope that was
- 3:57Speaker 2: just a part of Univille's, Jesus, if I can say it.
- 4:02Speaker 2: UNLV's team. I think Nebraska has a lot better skill
- 4:08Speaker 2: around them. So I'm hoping that's what it is. Hopefully
- 4:10Speaker 2: he's not that quarterback. I mean, he only put up
- 4:13Speaker 2: 10 points against Ohio. That's pretty embarrassing. So let's just
- 4:15Speaker 2: forget about that. That game didn't happen. It was a
- 4:17Speaker 2: bowl game, right? Those don't count anymore. So here's another
- 4:23Speaker 2: big part about Saturday. It is going to be hotter
- 4:24Speaker 2: than hell. It's supposed to be like 100 degrees. So
- 4:30Speaker 2: You got to think they're going to be using a
- 4:33Speaker 2: lot of subs, backups, and stuff. That's good. Let them play.
- 4:37Speaker 2: See what we got behind them. I truly think this
- 4:41Speaker 2: game is going to be like 48-3. So, by the
- 4:45Speaker 2: second half, let the younger players play these backups. See
- 4:49Speaker 2: what you got. I think these three games are basically
- 4:53Speaker 2: like preseason. Should be. If not, we'll see it. That's
- 4:57Speaker 2: the other thing is, if you lose any of these
- 4:58Speaker 2: three games, I don't care what you do the rest
- 4:59Speaker 2: of the year, we'll see you. You have to win these. Well,
- 5:03Speaker 2: first off, you ain't getting the six wins if you
- 5:08Speaker 2: don't win these first three. Now, do they all need
- 5:14Speaker 2: to be absolute blowouts? No, but that's what I prefer
- 5:17Speaker 2: because if they're not, good luck going into Big Ten play. Now,
- 5:22Speaker 2: here's another big part about the depth chart I saw.
- 5:24Speaker 2: The backup quarterback spot. Lateef and Kalen are not.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I figured it'd be Latif back up, Kalen third. No,
- 5:34Speaker 2: there was an or on the depth chart. That's surprising. Boy,
- 5:37Speaker 2: I'll tell you what about Latif. Last year, someone said, oh,
- 5:44Speaker 2: he's better than Raiola. I don't know who that was.
- 5:48Speaker 2: That was after a couple of games. Boy, was he wrong.
- 5:52Speaker 2: That guy was at the top of the mountain, and
- 5:54Speaker 2: he just fell about as far as you can fall
- 5:56Speaker 2: off the mountain.
- 5:57Speaker 1: He....
- 6:00Speaker 2: Yeah, he sucked at the end of the year. Now that's... Yeah,
- 6:03Speaker 2: I'm totally on that guy. I don't think that he's
- 6:06Speaker 2: any good. He might stay here his whole career as
- 6:08Speaker 2: a backup. I don't know. Maybe no other team wants him.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I figured he'd go to a Mac school, whatever. Ohio.
- 6:13Speaker 2: He'd go play at Ohio. Maybe that's... You know what?
- 6:19Speaker 2: Just thought of this. This is going to be Lateef's
- 6:23Speaker 2: basically audition for Ohio. He's going to be playing at
- 6:26Speaker 2: Ohio next year. They're going to see him out there.
- 6:28Speaker 2: He's going to throw for like 250 yards because he'll
- 6:30Speaker 2: be playing backups. He's going to be playing for Ohio
- 6:32Speaker 2: next year. Calling it right now. So, yeah, that'll be
- 6:36Speaker 2: interesting to see who's, if they pick a true backup
- 6:41Speaker 2: quarterback after this game, too, because I bet both will
- 6:45Speaker 2: play in this game. Now, there's a couple different things
- 6:52Speaker 2: I want to add this week. Actually, just one thing,
- 6:57Speaker 2: not a couple, but that's coming first. So, what I
- 7:00Speaker 2: said about this week is, not very many big games.
- 7:04Speaker 2: If you're looking ahead, week two absolutely rocks. You got Michigan, Oklahoma.
- 7:11Speaker 2: A & M, Arizona State. Texas, Ohio State. And Iowa,
- 7:15Speaker 2: Iowa State. That is an absolutely loaded slate. So, this
- 7:19Speaker 2: week's just like, just to get you pumped up for
- 7:22Speaker 2: college football. And next week is going to be one
- 7:24Speaker 2: of the best weeks of college football ever. Absolutely amazing. So, everyone...
- 7:31Speaker 2: Put your pads on. Get ready for this week. Next week,
- 7:33Speaker 2: we're hitting people. That's when it really starts. We're going
- 7:38Speaker 2: to hit people. So, I want to do my three
- 7:43Speaker 2: picks of the week here. Every week. My three ones.
- 7:51Speaker 2: My first one here. Ball State plus 15 and a half.
- 7:55Speaker 2: I know Ohio State is supposed to be great. That's
- 7:57Speaker 2: just crazy. 15 and a half. I'm sure Ball State
- 8:00Speaker 2: is just one of the worst teams out there. And
- 8:04Speaker 2: I'm going to come back and look at this on
- 8:06Speaker 2: Sunday because I don't watch it like this. So I
- 8:07Speaker 2: won't even check it Saturday. Well, I'll look at it Sunday.
- 8:10Speaker 2: I'm guessing Ball State will lose 75 to nothing. But
- 8:14Speaker 2: 15 and a half, you got to take that spread.
- 8:17Speaker 2: Next one. Nebraska minus 23 and a half. I just
- 8:21Speaker 2: said they're going to win 48 to 3. I think
- 8:25Speaker 2: Ohio is not very good. Now, if it was last
- 8:28Speaker 2: year's Ohio team, I think this team would be a
- 8:30Speaker 2: lot closer than it is. But a new quarterback, new coach,
- 8:32Speaker 2: basically a whole new team, I think it's going to
- 8:35Speaker 2: be tough. This is– another thing about week one is
- 8:38Speaker 2: there's– this is a lot of teams' preseason game kind of.
- 8:42Speaker 2: There's a lot of dumb penalties, a lot of false starts,
- 8:44Speaker 2: stuff like that. That's why I'm never big on playing
- 8:48Speaker 2: anyone tough week one because I feel like everyone's got
- 8:51Speaker 2: to get in the groove of playing a game. You
- 8:53Speaker 2: just see a lot of dumb penalties week one with teams. Now,
- 8:57Speaker 2: so if you see that week one with Nebraska– Don't
- 9:00Speaker 2: be mad. I'm sure all Husker fans will just be
- 9:02Speaker 2: calling about it. But... So, next one. Michigan State minus 9.5.
- 9:10Speaker 2: I don't know what this spread is. I get the
- 9:12Speaker 2: guy a whole new coach. I'm big on Pat Fitzgerald.
- 9:17Speaker 3: And.
- 9:19Speaker 2: I think... Well, they've been a mess the last couple
- 9:21Speaker 2: of years. But Toledo? Maybe they're supposed to be good.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Who knows? If someone out there knows about Toledo, let
- 9:26Speaker 2: me know. Because I don't know what that spread's about. I... 9.5
- 9:30Speaker 2: against a max school, a Big Ten school, crazy. I don't.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I don't get that spread. Also, take those three. Ride
- 9:40Speaker 2: with them. Put $ 100 on them. I don't know what
- 9:43Speaker 2: you win. So, yeah. Other than that, oh, diving this.
- 9:54Speaker 2: Who out there decided the first game to be 11 o'clock?
- 9:58Speaker 2: Screw 11 a.m. games. They suck. I absolutely hate it.
- 10:02Speaker 2: First thing, 2.30 is the best. You don't have to
- 10:05Speaker 2: be out there early, whatever. You can go to the game,
- 10:09Speaker 2: do whatever at 2.30. You still have the night to go.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Here at 11, you got to be up at 7
- 10:14Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning and get ready for this game.
- 10:17Speaker 2: I hate 11 o'clock games. You have the rest of
- 10:20Speaker 2: the day to do whatever. Whatever. So, whoever out there
- 10:25Speaker 2: made this decision, screw you. This sucks. So, by the way,
- 10:32Speaker 2: next two are night games. Night games are in second place.
- 10:35Speaker 2: They're all right, I guess. They get over at 11.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Your night's over. So, there's nothing to do after that. So, 2.30
- 10:42Speaker 2: is the best. Whoever's listening, make every game for the
- 10:45Speaker 2: Huskers 2.30 from here on out. 11 a.m.
- 10:50Speaker 1: No.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Maybe this week, because it's hot, it's going to be,
- 10:53Speaker 2: that's probably the best time to play it. I guess
- 10:55Speaker 2: we'll see. So, you know what? Go Big Red. It's
- 10:58Speaker 2: going to be a blowout this week. Hopefully, hopefully next
- 11:05Speaker 2: Wacky Wacky Wednesday is not after a loss, or else
- 11:07Speaker 2: Rule might be gone after that. So, all right. We'll
