  Speaker 1: I think I only say this about six times a year,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: but this is my favorite show of the year right here.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Is it really? And I have about six of them.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Bold Prediction Friday here on the show where we'll take
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: everybody's three predictions. Some of you will end up only
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: sending one, and I don't know why that bothers me
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: so much. Go ahead and be plentiful. Take three bold predictions.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Three bold predictions. You can do it in our chat.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You can do it on Twitter at NextRoundLive. I'll even
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: get Brooks to monitor Instagram as well at Next Round
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Live on Instagram. Make sure you like and follow everywhere.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Some of you have already beat me to the punch
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on my social, so we'll try to get as many
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of them as we can into the conversation today. In
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: this opening segment, we'll show you all five of our
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: bold predictions to sort of show you how it gets done.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: And in segment two, we'll start rolling through these bold predictions.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: And inevitably, Lance will say my favorite phrase. Let's see
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: if you know. What my favorite phrase is on this day?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Not really bold.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: That's not really bold. That's not really bold at all.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: That's not really bold at all.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: You know, as I sent mine to Forrester the other day,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I was like, mine really aren't that bold this year.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. So Lance is the one that's not really bold.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Maybe you guys will disagree when I look at it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think all three are going to happen.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: This might be the first time that I really believe
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: all three happen.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I'll give you a sneak peek. One of mine is.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: A data center built near Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: causes a power outage during a game. Is that bold?
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: That's bold.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Are they actually building one near Tiger Stadium? Oh, yeah.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I'm sure they are.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: If there's open land, they're building it somewhere.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: But, you know, last year I did have Mendoza, first
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: team all, Big Ten quarterback, and people were like, what
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the hell are you talking about? So we've had
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: some crazy ones.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, as Jim recapped them the other day, we
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: had Brian Kelly getting fired a lot in this show
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: last year. And none of us thought that was going
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: to happen.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: That's right. Right in the middle of the season.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Did anybody have Franklin getting fired? Didn't you have somebody?
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: There was something about Franklin. I forgot what it was.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: We had Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze got fired in this
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: show a lot last year. That turned out to be true.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Ended up Brian Kelly got fired more in this
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: show than Hugh Freeze. I know. Surprised he ended up
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: getting fired. We'll get to those bowl predictions coming up
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: throughout the show. It'll be the backdrop of all four
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: hours today, both here on Sporting State. and on our
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: next round platform in our final two hours of the day.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So don't rush, but get into the queue over there
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with Brownie. Hopefully you've been working on him the whole offseason.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: If you've been with us for 17 years, you know
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: that it's something we do, and some of you work
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: on him year-round. So hopefully you nail him this year
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: and all of our bold predictions come true. Before we
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: jump into what we saw last night on the diamond
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: in the turf in Major League Baseball and the NFL,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: we want to give a big thank you to the
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: crew at Walk-Ons. for putting up with hundreds of our
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: listeners and viewers and us. To the great folks at
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Bud Light and Alexander Shannara Trial Attorneys, the fifth anniversary,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: sixth kickoff party was a success last night. My favorite
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: one to date so far. A massive success.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: And I cannot tell you, as Scott shows you the picture,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: for me personally, and I know you guys feel the
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: same way, how meaningful it was that Clay Travis, Jonathan Hutton,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: and Chad Withrow would brave the traffic from Nashville to
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Birmingham and basically to be there for two hours just
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: to drive back to nashville that was incredibly kind of
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: them and um i was i was glad they got
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: to meet some of our audience members yeah i.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Did not realize how much clay spent on a sprinter
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: van to have a driver bring them in town last
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: night you probably should have shopped that around a little
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: bit but uh yeah it was a great time last
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: night i didn't know what to expect because when i
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: was on my way i got a call and Somebody
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: was like, man, there's been two callers on Finebomb today
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: talking about y'all's kickoff party.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, really?
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And I was like, that is very, very random.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: That is quite random. Were they going or not going?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: There was. And then I met our buddy Chris that
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: was at the bar. And he's like, yeah, I called
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in and told, you know, Finebomb, he needs to be there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And Paul said he might drop by. And I was like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: not a chance at all. And then a woman followed
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that up and said the same thing. I'm on my
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: way to the party. So I'm sure Paul really wanted
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: to hear that.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I'm sure Paul loved that. Okay. that was paul's all
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: right we continue now let's go to legend legend is.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Next ks redmill in the chat says anyone threw a
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: drink in clay's face the clay haters would not have
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: liked that last night because um clay got swarmed yeah
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: everybody getting their picture with clay shaking his hand talking
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: to him when.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Clay called me up he was like uh Dunaway, 100%
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: approval rating. Everyone loves me here.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I did not see one person get in his face
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: about anything.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, there were a lot of people that I
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: hadn't met before that were like, hey, when's Chloe going
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to get here? Because they get caught up in that
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: traffic and They ended up getting there at 645-ish, I think,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: was around the time. But there were a lot of
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: people that just showed up, which I get it, to
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: meet Clay.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: One of those was our good friend Russ. He was like,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: where's Clay? And I stuck and trapped him.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Russ never got to meet him.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Never got to meet him. Scott, though, not our Scott,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: but a different Scott, He drove almost as far as Clay.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: He came from Athens, Alabama, which is on the border.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: He drove all the way from Athens down just to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: meet us and hang out with us last night. Yeah,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: so we had Athens.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I talked to two brothers from Guntersville, a couple from
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Auburn that has come every year I can remember.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were the first ones here last year because
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I sat and talked with them. Ryan's his name. Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: great name.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: And his wife. Yeah.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Who's married to Ryan. That's right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I love the name tags, but you know, I met
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: some guys sitting in the back of the bar and
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: one of them came up and started talking to him
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: and he's like, listen to the show every day at work.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: And the other two guys were like, he does. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, I assume you guys don't want it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: on there. They were like, we really don't care.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I will say it was cool.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: The brothers from Guntersville, their dad loves our show, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: they're all, he's also a big fan of Clay's. and
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: likes Clay's work on Fox News and things like that.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: And he wasn't there. And Clay was like, well, just
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: FaceTime him.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to him.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: So they called the dad up on FaceTime, and I
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: was standing there when they handed the phone to Clay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and the dad's face lit up.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's fantastic. Yeah, he was pumped.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And Clay talked to him four or five minutes on FaceTime,
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: and it was pretty cool to see.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's awesome when you see that. You guys remember
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: we were in Atlanta, and there was this girl that her–
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: sister-in-law was back in Sacramento and Barkley FaceTimed her, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: she started crying.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Huge Barkley fan. And Charles was like, just FaceTime her.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I'll talk to her.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: So she FaceTimes, hands it to Charles, and the girl
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: literally starts crying talking to Barkley. A grown woman started crying.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It's Barkley, though. Yeah, I know. He's made a lot
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of people cry. Let's see. What else was I going
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: to point out? Just so many people there last night.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's becoming, it's a tradition now.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: What, Shannara shutting it down?
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: He was the last one there. The Shannara giveaways that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: they do, Mike, and this is just a random draw.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: In fact, Clay, Travis, and others were drawing, but my
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: little golf group is two for two on Pappy now.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: It is crazy.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: And that is crazy, but there were two bottles given
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: away last night. And I thought one of the most
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: amazing things is there was a Nick Saban signed football
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: that was given away before the first bottle of Pappy.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: The girl that won the Nick Saban football, who we know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: or the guy that won the Nick Saban football, who
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we know, then the girl wins the Pappy, and she
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: trades her bottle of Pappy for a signed football.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That's right. But it's Nick Saban.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I told her I was the worst deal in history.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: He's the Mac Pappy of college football.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: And I was talking to the gentleman that ended up
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: with the Pappy, and another gentleman walked up and said,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: how much would you take for it?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And the guy that won it laughed. He goes, no,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm serious. What's your price right now?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Right there at walk-ons dude is negotiating a price for
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: the pappy with my buddy van the.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Last no no no the.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Second one that uh the first one that won it
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: yeah did he give him a price he did not
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: and he said i'm good man i'm keeping this because
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: my boy won the second one which was like a
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: 15 year or something yeah this was the 10 year
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: and i mean he said what name your price and
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: the guy that won it was like no i'm keeping this.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: One credit credit to van he says uh He's only
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: going to drink it with the golf group by sometime
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: around the holidays around the campfire. Oh, nice. So I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: look forward to tasting my first Pappy.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Average 15 right now is over $ 1, 600 a bottle.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: What's the 10?
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Because, I mean, it's going to drop a lot.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, what's your guess?
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: $ 1, 000?
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Probably not that much. Probably $ 600. He said, name your price.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I got cash.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: My buddy Barry, who's a huge North Carolina fan, North
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Carolina grad, he was there again this year. 750. In
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the same group. So now in their little group that
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: has come every year, he's the only one that hasn't
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: won a bottle of Pappy yet.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: So he's already said, let me know when year three is.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: I'm back next year.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: It's got to be my turn. We know he'll be
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: back at least. About that time next year. But that is, man,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: it is awesome. Our audience blows me away every single
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: year on this. Every year we do it, we're like, man,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: this is year five, year six. Are people still going
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: to come? And people still come in droves.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Tyler knocked out his Death Valley last night.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That's right. I saw the bottom of the cup. Tyler
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: did finish it. I did.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: And then someone bought me a shot of Rumpel and
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: wanted me to take it with them.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: All right. And you topped it off with... everybody's favorite
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: sorority drink, Moscow Mule.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: Scott says that was the first time he had ever
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: heard someone call Moscow Mule a girly drink.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I really do believe that is very popular with young. Oh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: that is a girl drink. I mean, I've drank them,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: but it's a girl drink. I mean, look, I've got
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: a borderline Stanley up here. You can tell a guy's
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: sexual orientation if he's got.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: A Stanley, typically.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: This was something I grabbed on the way out. It's
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the Yeti version of a Stanley. Did you get that
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in Rush? I actually, it was a gift to Maddie
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: for Christmas last year. I just grabbed it on the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: way out. So anyway, but I agree.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: You gave Maddie a Rams gear?
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. It works both ways, man. The dogs get Rams gear.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: But the Moscow Mule is more of a feminine drink.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're good. I think they're really good.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: You know how you know? Because I love them.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: That's how you know.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: But I would rather get it outside of the cup.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Cup and nobody knows what you're drinking. Does that make sense?
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care either way. Oh, I think something
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: about the Copper Cup that makes it stay cold and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I think it makes it perfect.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: It makes me feel, I don't know, like a medieval peasant.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, it does. It's like you slam it down on
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: the table when you're done.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah hey credit that brooks was there he's got a
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: lot of stuff out on social credit i want to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: credit scott to his daughter uh cheering at a football
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: game scott could only be there like half an hour
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: but he still drove through all that stupid traffic to
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: get there for half an hour so there was a
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: little bit yeah.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: And we hated the fact that we had to do
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: it last night because scott did have you know it's
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: best dad in the world goes to all these events
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and that's great and unfortunately, was only able to be
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: there for an abbreviated amount of time. Didn't think he
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: was going to come by at all, but that was
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: awesome for you to show up.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Technically, he could have stayed longer, showed up at halftime
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of his daughter's high school football game and saw all
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: of their points in the second half.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Sadly true. They were down 21-0 in the half. Should
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: have a lot to share about in the first half.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: All right. Let's get to what we saw last night first.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: You know, we're football season, so baseball probably on a
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: back burner until we get to the postseason. But Chris
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Sell last night, for all you Braves fans out there,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: he sent a message. Braves sweep the Dodgers, first off.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Sell throws a complete game. Nine innings, zero runs, 11 strikeouts.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I think I'm right about this. He struck out Otani
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: three times. That's hard to do. And I saw him pitching.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I saw a cut-up of that. The effort Sell was throwing,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: almost sending a message to Otani, was amazing. What was crazy...
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: is afterwards a very emotional Chris Sell tells everyone why
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: this game meant more. Like his family went crazy when
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he came back out for the ninth inning to finish
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the deal. They showed the family, the kids and the
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: wife up in the stands. And when he came out
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: of the dugout just to finish the ninth, the little
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: kids went crazy. I saw that. I saw that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: And it was all because one of their close family friends,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Ashley Foss, had passed away earlier that day at the
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: age of 42 with an ailment she had been battling.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And he went out and dedicated that game to her.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And the family knew what was going on. And when
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: he came back out for the ninth, tears were flowing.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And he finished off the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers in
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: an Atlanta sweep.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: And, you know, when his career was wrapping down in
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Boston a few years ago, I mean, the guy's 37
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: years old. You thought he was literally, you know, not
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: only losing the fastball but losing a lot. And for
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: him to reinvent himself when he got to Atlanta– And
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: that pickup that they've had over the last three years
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: has been incredible. And I think Atlanta right now has
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: got a ton of confidence. Everybody's wondering who can knock
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: off the Dodgers in one of these seven-game series. Well,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Atlanta's 4-1 against the Dodgers this year.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Does that worry you as a Dodgers fan? I mean,
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I know postseason's different than regular season for many, many reasons.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it has to.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Rays are going to have.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: Confidence if they're able to face them. I mean, if
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: they get the Dodgers in the postseason, there's no reason
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: they wouldn't have confidence. Weiss can point to this and say, guys,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: you all.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Have played them. I mean, he won't even have to.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Those are professional baseball players.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And by the way, they're only a game back of
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: the Dodgers if you're just looking at total record. So
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: it's not like, you know, the Dodgers get put on
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this pedestal and it does seem like everything will kick
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: into gear once we get to the postseason going for
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: three consecutive World Series championships. But I'm a little skeptical
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: on this one.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: NFL exhibition continues tonight. Last night. You know, 17 years,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: we don't text as much as we did, say, year
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: one or year two, where every play we have a
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thread going where we're texting all night long. But I did.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I didn't know Lance was still wrapping up at walk-ons.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I texted him at one point when an off, broken
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: play scrambled from Ty Simpson, avoiding a charger pass rush,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: rolling near sideline as a right-hander. He has to twist
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: his body in air and throw a touchdown pass dime
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: And I just texted him, Ty Simpson is so much
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: better than Stetson Bennett.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I thought you had seen both. I didn't know what
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I had missed in the first half, and then I
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: got to settle in. I got to watch everything because
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I didn't think Stetson was going to play, and he
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: ultimately didn't play because that's kind of the way Sean
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: McVay does this. But Ty Simpson's been fantastic in the preseason.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: He's looked so good. Last night, 18-23, 119, one touchdown.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: But if you put the three performances together, week two
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: last week was his shakiest game. But overall, 47 of 60, 382,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns, no picks. That is a 78% completion percentage
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: in his first preseason with a lot of pressure on him.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Still no way he's the backup in your mind?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Let's hear from Sean McVay. Okay, Sean McVay, did he
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: answer this question? Sean McVay and Ty Simpson talking about
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the backup quarterback situation with the Los Angeles Rams last night.
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: I thought the quarterbacks, I thought Ty played really well tonight.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: Going into it, I wouldn't look too far into what
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: that was. It was just continuing to get him experience.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: We've got three quarterbacks on our roster, obviously. We've got
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: the reigning MVP of the league. And then we've got
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: two guys that we feel really good about. And if
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: you say, hey, what does that really mean? That's what
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: it means.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: We feel really good about those two guys.
• 15:06
  Speaker 8: I'm not pigeonholing myself into any sort of decision other
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: than I feel really good about Stetson Bennett, feel really
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: good about Ty Simpson, and I hope Matthew Caldwell is okay.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Has Sean communicated to you whether you'll be the backup
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: quarterback in Australia?
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I don't really ask him that. You know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: I kind of just do what I'm told and go
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: in when I go in. You know, I think it
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: really doesn't really matter if I'm being honest, like what
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: I am, because this is Matthew's team. and, you know,
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I'm behind him 100%, and I know Stetson is, and
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: there's nobody, you know, his biggest fans besides us, too. And,
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: you know, he has our support 100%, and, you know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: that's all that really matters.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, what a tremendous answer there.
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I was talking to our man Greg from Pell City
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: last night about Ty Simpson and talking about the luxury
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: he's got being able to come in, know that he's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: playing behind the reigning MVP, knowing that it's going to
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: be his team sooner than later. Look, another luxury is
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Sean McVay really– I mean, if this was for the
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: starting job, he would have a difficult decision, I think,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: between Ty and Stetson.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: But the good news is he doesn't really have to
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: make any kind of decision. The good news is you've
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: got the best quarterback room in the NFL. I mean,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I think that's the case.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I don't know which other one you would argue as
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: the depth that that quarterback room has in Los Angeles.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: When you consider the starter, as Shami just said, is
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the reigning MVP.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Josh Allen to Kyle Allen is a big drop.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you look at most starters to backups
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: is a big drop. But you've got a third that
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: is pushing one of the better backups in the league
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: right now, it appears.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Forrester, can you pop up the steel shot there? Am
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I right? Is that his dad's UT Martin? Yeah, that's
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the logo on the hat.
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: That is UTM gear. Is that Skyhawks?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Is that what they are? It's kind of a cool logo.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: I actually like the logo.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a Pelican's hat.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That's a cool-looking hat. I like that. I like the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: way he's giving the dad's team a little pop there.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: I do like that, yeah. Yeah.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, he acts like a coach's son. When
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you say stuff like he just said, that's a coach's
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: son talking.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, Shadur Sanders looks like he's going
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to be QB2. Dylan Gabriel looked good last night, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: so did Talon Green when he was in there for
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the Browns. Browns win last night. San Francisco beat Las Vegas.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Mendoza's preseason line, LT, you just gave me Ty Simpson.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He's 25 of 45 for 240, a touchdown, and two picks.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one of those to pick six. Has it been
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: good for Mendoza? Now you look at the situation, it's
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: completely different. You've got Clint Kubiak, a first-year coach, trying
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to figure this whole thing out. Lack of weapons. I mean,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Jalen Naylor, you go out, you get him. That's probably
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: your best receiver. Brock Bowers, but the offensive line is still,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's really rat shit when you look at it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: You look at Sean McVay's offense to Clint Kubiak's. I mean,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Simpson in a so much better situation than Mendoza.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: All right. That's NFL Exhibition last night. More games today.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you about them later on with Lance's lock
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and give you some plays tonight, including a really interesting matchup.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know who will play, but I'd like to
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: see the Bengals and the Eagles on the field together,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: 7 o'clock on CBS tonight, if you want to watch that.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: When we come back on the show, We will get
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: to our bold predictions and start getting to yours. So
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: start sending them in, three bold predictions, three bold predictions
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: for the college football season coming up. And it can
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: be as bold as you want to be. But try
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to be perfect. Try to be 3-0, too. Be bold,
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: but be right. You don't even have to be right
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: on all three. Just be right on one of them.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Just be bold and wrong. Yeah, bold and right on
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: one of them. By the way, the Nick Saban documentary
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: announced yesterday the release date, October the 8th. Six parts
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: on ESPN. If you've seen the trailer, it looks like
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: it'll be fantastic. Julio Jones in tears talking about how
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Nick Saban changed his life as not just a football
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: player but as a man. Sark and all the players. McCarron,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: they all are in the documentary. And I forget how
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: many hours or minutes of unseen behind-the-scenes tape, film, Of
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: the Saban years that's available in this. They gave me
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: a number, Brooks.
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: It was hundreds of hours of unseen film, over 100
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: hours of unseen film is what the release said. Now,
• 19:23
  Speaker 9: when I posted that yesterday, I was like, how long
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: are these episodes going to be? I'm like, no, no,
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: it features over 100 hours of unseen films.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: You won't see all 100 hours. They had 100 hours
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: of never seen before behind the scenes footage.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I imagine like at least 20 of those hours are
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: just Saban eating oatmeal cream pies.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Can't use all of it. You never saw it though.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: October 8th and Conor O'Gara, you can go watch the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Conor O'Gara show. we just finished taping or actually doing
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: it live earlier this morning but you can go watch
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: it here on the platform on replay and he compared
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: it to um that he is hoping it rises to
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and he thinks it can rise to the quality of
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: the last dance the jordan documentary that was very popular
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic Now, we don't have a pandemic going on,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and October 8th will be smack dab in the middle
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: of football season. So it won't get the numbers of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the last dance.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: That's a bold prediction. That's a high bar.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: But he was talking about the quality of the doc. Yeah.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: So six-part Saban documentary. And this is something I'm looking
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: forward to coming up October 8th. on the ESPN platforms.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: When we come back, Bowl Prediction Friday, we'll tell you
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: ours and start getting to yours. They're coming in over there, Brownie?
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I got some ready to rock. All right. Got some
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: on my end as well. Looking forward to it. We're
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: here for four hours right here on the next round
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: presented by Hard Rock Bets right here on Sporting State.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's any indication of the kind
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: of season we're going to have, but we already had
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: a top 25 upset last night. That was in the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: FCS rinks. But West Florida, who has moved up to
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the FCS, they beat number 16 Southern Illinois last night, 34-31.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: So the upsets are underway already. Look out. Just on
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: night one.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Pretty cool.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Also, Eastern Illinois beat our buddy at Murray State, 28-14.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Chattanooga got a win over West Georgia, 24-10. And I
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: told you West Florida over Southern Illinois, just some of
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: the games that happened last night. There was also Youngstown
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: played a game last night. They beat Mercy Hurst, 43-10.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Mercy Hurst scored a touchdown that is a top 10
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: play of the year probably. Bounced off some hands and
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: feet and ended up with a different guy in the
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: end zone for a touchdown. But the reason that game
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: was so popular on social media last night was the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: fact that the whole broadcast, the Youngstown State Penguin, is
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: upside down in the center of the field. to the
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: viewing audience, and it was driving America, who was watching this, crazy.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I can understand that.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: And I've done a broadcast from that place before, Sanford-Youngstown
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: State National Semifinal game. I did the broadcast. And they
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: put the cameras on the opposite side of the home
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: stands because that side of the stadium is so much bigger.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It almost looks like an SEC stadium on one side.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, so this is normal for every broadcast.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Every broadcast.
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: That side has skyboxes and a normal press box, but
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the TV cameras.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Are on the opposite side. Can I recommend they just
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: flip the penguin? Why wouldn't you not just flip the penguin?
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Do you play to the fans or do you play
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to the TV broadcast?
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: You play to the TV broadcast if you're going to
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: put games on TV.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you think the fans care that the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: penguin is upside down?
• 22:39
  Speaker 9: No.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, we say that. I don't know.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, people are going to complain about anything, so
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: you probably do get complained. Why is the penguin upside down?
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: My kids love the penguin. I mean, how many games
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: are televised? Why can't you just flip it for the
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: televised games?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I would assume they're all televised on ESPN +,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: which I think this one was. There's no national television,
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: so there's a chance more people are at the game
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: than watching the game. I don't know. I don't know
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: the numbers. But I've been there before, and it's weird.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: And we actually broadcast because of that. We built a
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: broadcast booth on the opposite side. Where back then, I
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: don't know if now, but back then there were no
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: bleachers on this side. Everything was on one side. So
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: it looks better on TV to be shooting back towards
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: the stands as opposed to empty trees. You see what
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I'm saying? Yeah, no, I agree completely.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Upside down penguin, though. It is a cool logo. I've
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: always liked that logo. So they asked me when we
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: were doing that broadcast back in the early 90s. I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: can't wait for this. Is it going to bother you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: to do the broadcast from the broadcast booth? where the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: cameras are actually backwards, and on your call screen, you'll
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: be watching them going this way, but on your screen,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: they're going this way. I said, that'll bother me all
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: night long. Yes, of course it will. So we'll build
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you scaffolding on the other side. Typical Jim. Who won
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the game? Youngstown State beat Samford. Was that Terry Bowden's
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Samford game?
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And it was the scariest flight I've ever had home.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Was Jim Trestle coaching Youngstown?
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: He was. I think he was. Yeah, they were dominant
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: back then. They were dominant. what at the time was
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: a 1AA program.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: Youngstown was the favorite, and they may have gone on
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to win the national championship that year. That was before
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: the Dakotas of the Montanas took over 1AA football.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: So did you almost die on the flight?
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: On the flight back, other than Las Vegas taking off
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: and then dying during takeoff. Not dying, but the engine
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: dying during takeoff where everybody, including the pilot, said that
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was close to catastrophic.
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: When we shut down at the end of the Vegas runway.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: That one was bad. The flight back from Youngstown stayed
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: on the team plane. It was snowing. It was almost
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: like a blizzard, but it was a snow thunderstorm. So
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it was lightning and snowing during takeoff and all of that.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: Don't say a lot of those.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: And then we were bouncing the entire ride home. And
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it may have been thunderstorming when we came back into Birmingham,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and it was just one of those that you'd be
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: going along and... I mean, it was... Their mascot's literally
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the penguin. I mean, that should have been a hint
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: to you. There might be bad weather at takeoff in December.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Perfect 10 Mortgage bringing you this part of the show.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: And the name says it all with Perfect 10 Mortgage.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You apply in 10 minutes. You close in 10 days.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: That is the whole idea. A mortgage that's simple, fast,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: and fair. 10 minutes start to finish right from your phone.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: No stack of paperwork. No sitting across a desk from

• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Our bold prediction Friday starts off with our five bold
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: predictions before we get to yours. And we're going to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: start with Ryan Brown's first. Forrester has these already built
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: on graphic for us. So, Brown, give us your three guarantees. Oh,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: and boy, you're going to love these. One at a time.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: One at a time? Unveil number one, Forrester, because it
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: looks like Brown doesn't have it pulled up yet. I've
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: got to pull it up on my phone. He doesn't
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: remember his guarantees. I do not.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: This year's team to start in the top ten and
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: finish unranked. I do one of these every year. The
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma Sooners. Schedule is too tough. Don't believe in Mateer.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Don't believe in Arbuckle. Lance is shaking his head yes
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: because he's big on Oklahoma and he likes the fact
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: that I'm fading of them. First team out, Oklahoma. They
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: are not going to finish in the top 25, Lance.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Your thoughts?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I've got Oklahoma coming up in my three guarantees.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a little bit different than Browns.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: It is a really difficult schedule, but you start to
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: look at some of these top 10 teams and one
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: we'll preview on our 40 and 40 in a little bit.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of these teams have brutal schedules.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: But really good teams are able to navigate through that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Number two, on the other side of the Red River rivalry,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Arch Manning wins the Heisman Trophy. He finally lives up
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: to his preseason billing, Arch Manning does, and he wins
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: the Heisman Trophy.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Congrats in advance to the man.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I think if it's really tight, like let's just
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: say it's Arch Manning and Dante Moore and the numbers
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: are comparable and the records, you know, they're one and
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: two and I think there's going to be kind of,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I think he gets a bit of the benefit of
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the doubt.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think going back to 1998 and a lot
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: of people believe Peyton was robbed. And, you know, if
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: you go back to Uncle Archie Manning, how deep was
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: he on the Heisman voting?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't really know.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Was he a runner-up?
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Might have been. He was a tremendous quarterback. I'm going
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: to say he was fourth. Okay.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Manning's never won one. It's one thing that
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: has looted them. So I think if it is tied,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: he would win it.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait. Can I get back row microphones as well? Forrester, Brooks,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: you guys are younger. Would you call Brown, Arch, Manning, Winslow, Heisman?
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: That seems like a casual play there. That seems to be. Okay.
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: I just looked at Scott, and in a gem tone
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: of voice, I said, Not that bold.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: How long have you worked here, Brooks?
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: A year this week. That's about right. It takes about
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: a year to rub off on you. There you go.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: About a year. Did you make that sound? I did.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: You have to sell it with a.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Did you make that sound? Not that bold.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: Not that bold. No, the Jim line would have been, oh,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: I thought these were bold predictions. Well, I mean, he
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: is the favorite. I mean, he is the favorite.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: May I ask a question?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, Ohio State to win the national championship.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: No, my next one you're going to love. May I
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: ask this question? In your opinion, how often does the
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: favorite win the Heisman?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Not often. Then bold.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: Uncle Archie was fourth in 1969 and third in 1970.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Take me to Granddad Archie, not Uncle Archie. There we go.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know why I said Uncle Archie.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: And Brown's third one is?
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Number three, Clemson wins the ACC and Dabo Sweeney retires.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: That's bold.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: How about that? Why would I retire? I just walked.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: He's Dabo.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: I've done it. I'm going to walk out. I do
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: not like NFL players.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Green eggs and ham.
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: I do not like green eggs and ham.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: I don't like NFL players coming back. I don't like
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: what this game's become. Dabo retires.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Clemson wins the ACC and Dabo retires.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Had a nice Clemson discussion at our party last night.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: I did not realize somebody that is in our circle...
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: that now works for our guys is actually Tom Allen's daughter.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Did you meet her last night?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: That's Tom Allen's daughter?
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I did not know that. I talked to her for
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: a while, yeah.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I talked to her about Bloomington because she spent her
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: high school years there when Tom was the head coach.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: How about that?
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Talked to little Dabo and Clemson and, yeah, good people.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: In an awkward Jim way, this may have gone this way.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to my buddy Russ, and she's standing right there,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: and I was like, Man, do you have, is Sig
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: one of your clients? I mean, this, I mean, he's
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job in Indiana. No, you didn't. Hey,
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: by the way, this is Tom Allen's daughter. That's how
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: Russ cut it off in the past.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Because you know where the conversation turned.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Before you kill Sig, this, the dad coached for him.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Last night it was, you know, and Russ immediately, you know,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: it's amazing what money can do for a program when
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: they start to invest in the program.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: You know, basically saying that Tom didn't have these resources.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: Back in the day. Yeah. All right, and let's do
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Lance's next. Bold predictions from LT. Scott has those bullet
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: pointed for us. Yeah, I think we're going to start
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: with a USC right here.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: And Jaden Maiva is going to be a first-team All-Big
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Ten quarterback, a Heisman finalist, yet USC will go 9-3
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: and miss the college football playoff. That is so Lincoln Riley. Yeah,
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and I really believe this. I mean, I think Maiva's
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: going to be that good. Now, I think the focus
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: is going to be running the football, but still, Maiva,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: you can't. Can't doubt the talent. I think he's second
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: in odds right now to lead the Big Ten in
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: passing behind Dante Moore. I think he's going to be
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: the guy, and I think USC is going to be
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: really good, but not good enough.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, see, what's crazy is the second and third part
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: of your first guarantee seems believable, but I still believe
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Maiva can be a Heisman finalist, but Dante Moore be
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: there as well. USC can miss the playoffs. Oregon can
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: be in. and still Maiva not be the first team.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Like the hardest thing on that line for him to
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: get is to be the all Big Ten number one quarterback. Yeah,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: I would agree. Because he could be a top four
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: finalist in the Heisman and still be the second team
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: all Big Ten quarterback.
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: That's how good Dante Moore is.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I think if it's close, I could see
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: them lean USC on that. My next one, I don't
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: know how bold this is, but I think this is
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: legitimate too. The loser of Ohio State and Texas will
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: end up, being the first three-loss team in the college
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: football playoff.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: I like that pick. I believe we'll get a three-loss team.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Alabama was a three-loss conference championship game loser. I think
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: we'll get a legit three-loss regular season team this year.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Well, we know the Bar is the Big Ten in
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the SEC, and that out-of-conference game early in the season,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to hurt either one of
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: those teams. And both have brutal schedules. Texas, brutal in
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: the SEC. Ohio State, we'll get to that in a
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: little bit. Brutal in the Big Ten. But I think
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: one of those teams is going to go 9-3 and
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: get into the college football playoff. And finally, this one
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: completely opposite of Brown, despite their difficult schedule, Oklahoma will
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: go 10-2 and play in their first ever SEC championship game.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Boomer Sooner. On the flip side of you there, Brown.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Is that bold? That is bold. We're on opposite sides there.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: The consensus seems to be that nobody's going to go
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: through the SEC regular season unbeaten and that 10-2 is
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: going to Be the SEC championship game.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Georgia's going to be 11-1 or 10-2. Yeah. But I
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: do think that we're going to have three or four 10-2s,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: and somehow Oklahoma's going to win that title.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like they said about Josh Pates when he did
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: all the SEC standings, And I forget who pointed it
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: out when he was on with us. That means everybody
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: went 45-3 in out-of-conference games. Yeah, it was Danny Connell. Yeah,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: it was Connell, yeah.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: 45-3.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to be really difficult. It's a big year.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: All right. Next up is Scott's bold prediction. Three bold picks.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: All of yours coming up in the rest of the
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: show after this segment. Scott, what is yours?
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: Do you spell Forrester correct, by the way, on that graphic?
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: It's only one R. I do know how to spell
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: my last name.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: If Brown didn't spell it right, they would let him know.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: A lot of people do the double R's thing.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I think I did it a long time after you
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: started here. I've learned it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: It's only one R.
• 34:07
  Speaker 7: It is just the one R there.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: I may have double R's on my phone. I'm not sure.
• 34:10
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: Coming in hot with my hottest take. I love me
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: some Charles Huff. Charles Huff has taken Memphis to the playoff.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: I don't think they get out the weekend. I want
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to know. Hey, but if they do.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: That would be a big, you know, they're only a
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: four-point dog right now. But, Scott, that would be a
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: step in the right direction. Yeah, I think he's a
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: great coach.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: By the way.
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: I'm probably a sucker for good sound bites.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: He's a good one. And Charles Huff can deliver some.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: All right, number two. Alabama still cannot run the football.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Oh.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: But Keelan's going to take them to the playoff anyway.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: We saw that last year, right? Exactly.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Kind of a repeat of last year.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Alabama makes the playoff. Is that really bold?
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: Well, you're going to say the same thing about the
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: next one.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: No, real quick, though, Scott, I do think it's bold.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: If they can't run the football and they get to
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the college football playoff again, that'd be pretty insane.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: We already saw it. All right.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: And this one's only bold because we haven't seen it.
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: Oregon finally gets it done.
• 35:13
  Speaker 7: They win it all. Wow.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yep. Some people's pick to win it all, obviously, but
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of people's pick.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: A lot of people's.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Technically hasn't won a big game yet in the playoffs, right?
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if you polled people, I know they're
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: not number one in the polls, but it seems like
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: more people have Oregon winning the national championship than anybody else.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I would agree. I think they're considered the best roster
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: in college football.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I think it's the best roster he's had. I don't
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: think it's better than Texas.
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: Of all of– I've been putting returning starters listed on
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: all of the 40 and 40 teams that we've done.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: They had the most.
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: They had 15 starters back, eight on defense. I mean,
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: they got a lot of– a loaded roster coming back.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And a great portal class that came in as well.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Virginia's close. I know they can't win a national championship.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Was that a true story I saw for NC State
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Virginia that they're missing a huge number of players for
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: the game tomorrow? Yeah, I think the original– I think
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: there were 16 players on– Was it NC State's injury
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: report or Virginia's? It was Virginia's. Virginia's, yeah.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: That's out for the game tomorrow. Yeah, 16 players were,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: but that was the first injury report they dropped.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess if they dropped it yesterday.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Like, is it a sickness?
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. It looked like it was some kind
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: of academic issue or something. 18 players are listed on
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the official injury report.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: And we call it injury report, but it's actually the
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: availability report. So it could be things like. Something to
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: keep an eye on.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Did you mention academics?
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: Well, this is Virginia. If there is a place. Well,
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: maybe it's not academics, but it seemed to be some
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: kind of. something but maybe it's just an injury they
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: were just trying to scare betters or something that is
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on on that nc state
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: virginia game which i picked months ago as nc state
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: winning if they're without 16 people count me in count
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: me in 18 um all right brooks is next brooks
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: brooks give us your bold predictions.
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: So my first one, um, I'm going to take the
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: combination of the sec Miami and Notre Dame and the
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: big 10 gets shut out of the national championship.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, they're back to earth.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Shut that mouth.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Uh, sit down in your corner.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: Big 10.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would.
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: Um, this could be a, just a little bit of
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: Homer spirit in me. I would, I would love to
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: see the big 10 get shut out of the national
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: championship game. Uh, but, um, actually, I think there's a
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: good possibility of it depending on how the matchups go
• 37:31
  Speaker 9: in the college football playoff. Uh, I think we've built
• 37:34
  Speaker 9: a lot of stock into, uh, a program in Oregon
• 37:36
  Speaker 9: that has never done it. Uh, and, um, you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: Miami's got a lot of talent back. I actually think
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: Notre Dame and Marcus Freeman have a really good chance
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: to make a run in the college football playoff. And
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: I just feel like the secs do. And, um, I
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: think the combination of those two schools and the sec
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: will shut the big 10 out. My number two, uh,
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: Hasn't happened since 1999. Auburn gets a 1,000-yard receiver this year.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 38:02
  Speaker 9: I like Keyshawn Singleton. He had almost 900 yards receiving
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: last year for USF. They like to throw the ball around.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: Alex Golish has produced several 1,000-yard receivers in his time
• 38:15
  Speaker 9: as a play caller at UCF and Tennessee and at USF.
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: So for the first time this century, Auburn will have
• 38:24
  Speaker 9: a 1,000-yard receiver. And my last one, too much noise,
• 38:28
  Speaker 9: too much negativity surrounding this program. I think LSU flops
• 38:31
  Speaker 9: in year one under Lincoln.
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know if they flop. I'm with you
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: on the four losses, though. I think eight and four
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: could be that number.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: All right. Bold predictions. The last one from the group
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: before we get to yours is mine. And so I
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: hate to do it last because here comes all the
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: shots at me.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Here's the first one. Hey, who chose the order on this?
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I know. You literally did this.
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: Yep.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Who's up first, Forrester? Pretend you're my teleprompter. Texas misses
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the college football playoffs and Sark gets bought out.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: That's bold. Texas does not want to reset this thing.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's averaged right out 10 wins a season
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: his first five years. I think it would be difficult.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, are you saying like seven and five, eight
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: and four?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Eight and four.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Boy, I don't know what you do.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'd.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Probably stick with him, but who gets the job? Who
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: would you hire?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing. Who would I hire? That's
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the thing I say to Alabama fans. Like Yoko. I
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: was them, I would go hire John Summerall. I know
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: that's crazy, but I really believe he's going to be
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: that good. He's a guy that could park his tractor
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: in Austin and stay there the rest of his career.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: But what if Summerall's 6-6? And does Summerall take the job?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Would you leave Florida to take Texas? I know Texas
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: is better, but I don't know that it's automatic.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Second bowl prediction. Navy, BYU, and USC all make the
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: college football playoff first-timers this year. Navy, BYU, USC in
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I could see it. I mean, it's going to be
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: difficult for you to get a trifecta of newbies like that,
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: but I like where Navy is this year. Obviously, BYU,
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: a one-bid league, but boy, they're going to be really good.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: And then USC's got a difficult schedule, but they're going
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to be good.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Navy's the group of six winning the American. BYU wins
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: the Big 12. USC's the fourth Big Ten team. That's
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: how they get in. So that's my pick there. And
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: then the third one, pretty amazing here. Purdue goes winless
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: in the Big Ten for the third straight season. They've
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: gone 0-9, 0-9. I think they do it again. How
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: do they sell tickets?
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Man, that, I mean, you got to trip up and
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: win a game, don't you?
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: You got to mess up and win one. These are
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Big Ten games only now, so not counting, but That
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Big Ten has gotten better in the middle, great at
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: the top, and Purdue is down at the bottom. Apparently
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: still bad at the bottom. Yeah. So that's my three guarantees.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: That's everybody's three guarantees. It is yours the rest of
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: the show, other than Todd Furman, who will join us
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: at the top of the hour on Sporting State and
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: later in the next round part of the show. Hour 3,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: around 1130 Central, Brooks Austin, the film guy, now with
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: On 3 Sports, will be with us. All that when
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: we continue on. This is the next round, presented by
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bets right here on Sporting State. You don't
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: always know what's in people's heart or mind. People could
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: be nice and have evil in their heart, and then
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: people could do a bad thing or produce a bad
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: thing and have good in their heart. And I don't
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: know the good, good guys, but... That little snippet commercial,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I don't really, in my heart of hearts, it's hard
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: to imagine that they were somehow condoning violence against women
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: when they were making that. But, boy, they are suffering. Yesterday,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Calloway pulls all relationships with good good. So that Callaway
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: can get back into stores and things like that. And
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: the good, good CEO came out pretty hard against Callaway. Like,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: you know, hey, you approved the ad. We did the ad,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: you approved it, and now you're punishing us.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pathetic on Callaway's part. If they did approve it,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: you got to stand behind them. Weather the storm, at least.
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: So that's a bad situation there. And again, you never know,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: even if people are acting right, they may have evil
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: in their heart. I just find it hard to believe
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: that a group of guys would, would be promoting violence
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: against women. Maybe it's an accident. We could have a
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: forgiving heart sometime. We'll see how that plays out. I'll
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: tell you.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: What gets dug up is one of those old This
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: Is SportsCenter commercials, and there's a guy in a football
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: uniform leveling a female in the back of the office.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: It's not on the front of the screen, but somebody's
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: typing at a desk, and this girl's walking through a
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: stack of papers, and a guy levels her and hits
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: her to the floor. It's the same exact thing.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: I think it's different, though. Based on this, that guy's
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: terrorizing the entire office. This seemed more like you're touching
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: my club. And you brought this up, the club is
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: more valuable than you. I mean, there is a difference there.
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: A little bit.
• 42:59
  Speaker 5: So I just watched the ad for the first time
• 43:01
  Speaker 5: just now. Yesterday we said it was supposed to be
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: a parody of Obsession. I've seen that movie three times
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: and I don't get the.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I didn't either.
• 43:10
  Speaker 5: It's such a bad commercial. It doesn't offend me, but...
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: It was poorly made.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: I think they're only saying that because it starts off
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: in obsession with the boss belittling and giving a hard
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: time to the secretary when they're in the office. And
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: then when they're shipwrecked, she's got the power.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: No, that's not obsession.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That's a different movie. Send help.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: It's a good movie, though. Completely different. Hey, our show.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: You know what's wrong? I haven't had my Crockett coffee
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: this morning. That's what's wrong. Show me Davy Crockett surfing
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: on crocodiles. This is the coffee that's on by Clay Travis,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Buck Sexton, and Buck's brother Mason. Davy Crockett, the hunter,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: the storyteller, the patriot. He's the symbol of this coffee
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: because the coffee is that good. It's American-made, right in
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: the heartland. It ships fresh, roasted, not sitting in warehouses
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: for half a year. You can get it light-roasted, medium-roasted, dark-roasted, decaffeinated, organic.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Even that mushroom blend, you can get it whole bean,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: ground coffee, K-cups. However you make it in the morning...
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Set up a subscription. It shows up on time, on schedule.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: You can change it or cancel it anytime the way
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: the free market in America intended for it to happen.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Free shipping. Orders of $ 59 or more gets you that
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: free shipping, and there's always discounts for veterans. And the
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Crockett partners have teamed with Tunnel to Towers, building mortgage-free
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: homes for the families of fallen service members. and those
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: injured veterans and first responders. It's good coffee, made in America,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: doing some good. CrockettCoffee.com, that's Crockett, C-R-O-C-K-E-T-T, CrockettCoffee.com. Bold prediction time.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: I'll get to some of my phone in a second,
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: but in the chat room, Brownie, let's roll back to...
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: The start of the show, give me bold prediction number
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: one from our audience.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: First one in, Michael Bills. Ryan Coleman-Williams is a 1,000-yard
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: receiver this year.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: According to Michael, that's his first bold prediction. Not bold.
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: Based on last year, it is.
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, I mean, what's the expectation? Ryan Coleman Williams
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: is supposed to be one of the best receivers this
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: year in college football. Major bounce-back year.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: I think 2021, Brooks, is the last time Alabama had
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: a 1,000-yard receiver.
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: Or rusher.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: 8-1.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, geez.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: Prediction number two, Texas goes 8-4. Misses the college football
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: playoffs at 8-4.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty bold. I mean, that's where Dunaway was.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: That's what I said.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: And his bowl prediction number three, Treshawn Brown is the
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: breakout player for the Southeastern Conference. For those that don't know,
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: that's one of the Alabama running backs that probably will
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: get a lot of carries.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Early on.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Treshawn Brown. That would be bold.
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: SEC breakout player of the year. One of those three-star
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: Boise State verbals at one point that flipped to Alabama.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: So pretty cool there.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Charles, his bold prediction. Number one, USC wins the Big Ten.
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: He's opposite of you, Lance. He's got them winning the
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Big Ten.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: I hope Charles is right. That would be pretty incredible.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: With the schedule, I just don't see it. Georgia.
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: That would take them winning that massive game against Oregon.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: 10-2 could get them to the game.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Get them to the game and then win it there, yeah.
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Georgia goes 8-4.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: That's bold.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: That is bold. The team could be an 8-4 team,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: but with that schedule, it's hard to find them. I
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: don't think Georgia is. I think Georgia's really good, 11-1, 12-0.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: But 8-4 with that schedule is even tougher.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: And the rambling wreck of Georgia Tech wins the ACC,
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: according to him.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: That is quite bold. Yeah.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: What a year for Brent Key, if that is the fact.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: And the state of Georgia. I imagine Georgia Tech wins it.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: They get in.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Georgia's out. That would be, what, four consecutive years Georgia
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: hasn't won a college football playoff game?
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: Bold prediction Friday here on Sporting State. The next round
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: continuing all four hours today with your bold predictions as
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: we react to those as we do on this day
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: every year. Troy says Virginia Tech, hokey, hokey, hi, goes
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: to the college football playoffs. That would be a heck
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: of a first year.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if the ACC can squeeze
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: two in. They couldn't last year. They had a representative
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: that ends up playing for the national championship and doesn't
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: even play for their conference championship game. I find it
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: hard to believe ACC would get two in if Virginia
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: Tech wins the conference in year one.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: It's a good place to point out right here, though.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: It's one change. We haven't done the 12-team playoff the
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: same way every year yet. The one big change this
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: year is conference champion gets an automatic bid Into the playoff,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: regardless of where they're ranked. So you could have unbeaten
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Miami with a win over Notre Dame, playing in the
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: national championship game last year, lose the conference championship game
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: to an 8-4 Virginia Tech team, and Virginia Tech could
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: still be in the playoffs. Automatic bid.
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: For the conference champions out of the Power Four leagues.
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: So that would have impacted the ACC last year. Like
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Duke would have been in last year.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I guess that's the reason they've done this.
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: That would have killed James Madison. Duke would have been in,
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: James Madison would have been out.
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, yes.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think they would have kicked out
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: in Alabama or Miami. No, more likely it would have
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: been Miami or Notre Dame. It probably would have been
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: Duke in, Notre Dame in.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Probably is what would have happened.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Indiana goes back to back. Get ready for some of that, boys.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: We're going to get a few of those coming up
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: in the bold predictions here. I've already looked ahead. Indiana
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: goes back to back. I'll give that bold. I mean,
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: they've never done anything in their whole life.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: They're going to be really good again.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: They're going to go back to back.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: I think people are starting to realize that. But to
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: go back to back.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't think of the last Big Ten team
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: ever to go back to back. As national champions. Georgia
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: and Alabama are the last two to do it.
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: Didn't Ohio State do it back in the 70s?
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong about that? I don't know. They went
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: back-to-back Heisman Trophies. Archie Griffin. Archie Griffin. I don't know.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know if the Big Ten's
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: ever gone back-to-back national champions.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if you bring up Georgia and Alabama,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: but that was before this new era of college football
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: and NIL and transfer portal, and I just don't think
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: you'll see it back-to-back.
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: And his third bold prediction for Troy is Florida makes
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Those are fairly bold predictions. Virginia Tech and
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: Florida in the playoffs and Indiana going back to back.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, all three are possible. There's not, you know,
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: there's no. craziness in there. It's just bold. Dustin. Oh, Dustin.
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: What's he doing? Oh, Dustin. Dustin, what are you doing
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: with your life? Dustin has Auburn with eight wins. You know,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: I was talking to an Auburn fan at the party
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: last night. I said, what's a good season for you?
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: And he said, eight and four.
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's, It's a realistic fan. I like the
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: realism in a fan. No, I think seven or eight
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: is probably the number. That's not too bold, though.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Winning regular season for Auburn. Hadn't had one in quite
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: a while. That'd be a good one. Bama wins the SEC.
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: So he's got Auburn with eight wins and across state lines.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: Alabama or across the state. Alabama winning the SEC.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Your mouth's in God's ears. I know.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: And pick number three, Mike Norvell fired midseason. I honestly
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: don't know how bold that is.
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Haven't you already kind of made that decision if you're
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: florida state like they they have to have the discussion
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: okay um if we fire him do we fire him
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: in season is there anything that would get him fired
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: in season like that conversation's already been had like you.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: Know the number is what you're saying i.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Don't know what it would take to get him fired
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: in the season i think you guys agree there's not
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: a lot that really you can Benefit by firing somebody
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: in season? I would agree.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, a lot of people says it gets you,
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: you know, on the front end of the coaching carousel,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: but I don't really.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Think that matters.
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: But I think Florida State's already on the front end, right? Yeah,
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think everybody knows that job's coming open probably.
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: Daniel is next. Daniel says a hurricane will change the
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: college football schedule. It's more of a weather prediction than
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: a college football prediction. It's been a minute, hasn't it,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: since we've had a hurricane-delayed game?
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, normally we hear about it now like, hey, man,
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: next weekend is week one and we're looking forward to
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: these matchups. But we got some bed– Hurricane Dolly's rolling in.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: I know. There is a disturbance that's about to be
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: named Dolly in the Atlantic. I don't know if it
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: will be here by week one or what. But Gus
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Malzahn was coaching at UCF the last one we had.
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: So it hasn't been that long. We had some delays
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: or postponements that weekend. I think the tropics have been
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: quite mild of late, Jim. But we are in an El.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: Nino season this year, so that could heat the tropics up.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's how that works.
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: Do we have to move a Clemson game up to
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: starting earlier in the day one time? That was supposed
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: to be a primetime game. It seems like it's been
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: pretty recent. What's the other two for Daniel? We have
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: got Texas Tech misses the playoffs. So he's got a
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: hurricane changing the schedule and Texas Tech missing the playoffs.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: And his third, a championship, he puts in quotes, a
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: championship coach retires.
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: Is that Kirby?
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: He's got it in quotes. So it could be a
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: conference championship, could be a national championship.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, we don't have many championship coaches out there.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: You got Sig, you got Ryan Day, you got Kirby,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: you got Dabo.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Dabo, he could be drafting with me. Got two here
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: before we take our next break. Ryan, longtime listener, his
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: bowl predictions, NC State wins the ACC.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: They've got the schedule to do it. Again, outside of
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: this game, they might be favored in the next 11 games.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: How big a dog are they tomorrow? They're only four.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Numbers moved a little bit, probably based on those 18 players.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to ask Furman about that coming up.
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: First two-team Dunaway Parlay of the Year, NC State plus
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: the points, North Carolina plus the points. Go with the
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: show meet. Now, what's North Carolina? What state is it?
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: North Carolina is the Tar Heel State. Are they really?
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: That's not their official name. I thought it was. I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: think it is. Said like a not Duke or NC
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: State person.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: It might be the Tar Heel State.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: It is the Tar Heel State. Thank you. You think
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: I'd just make this stuff up over here? That's their state?
• 52:58
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you do sometimes.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Like the Show Me State in Missouri. That's right. In
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, there's a Tar Heel State. Yes.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: That's what I mean.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: How the hell you think they came up with that nickname?
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: It's the flagship university. It's on like all the license plates.
• 53:10
  Speaker 9: It's like Tennessee's the volunteer state.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: So if I'm a Duke fan or grad or an
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: NC State fan, I'm living in the Tar Heel State?
• 53:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah, you're a Vandy fan. You're living in the volunteer state.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, Auburn, they're technically living in an Alabama state.
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: The Crimson Tide State.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 53:26
  Speaker 9: What's the heart of Dixie?
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I heard somebody last night say Roll Tide when they
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: were leaving.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: We're the Yellow Hammers.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: I really heard that last night.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that too. Oh, I did hear somebody say
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Roll Tide when they were leaving. Well, how else do
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: I say bye to you guys? Houston wins the Big 12,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: according to Ryan.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: That's a bold pick. Willie Fritz, you're talking about getting
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: a lot of love if he was able to pull
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: that off.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: And Ryan says Auburn beats Alabama in a thriller this year.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: And then he writes, also Jimmy D, it's Casey Kasem,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: also Jimmy D, My mom, who's listened to you guys
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: since the radio days and now every day on YouTube
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: and the TNR channel, would love to give her three
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: bold predictions if you'd allow me to pass it along
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: to her. Of course. Her entry name is Mama Stews.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: Mama Stews. What's Mama Stews say? She says, Clemson upsets LSU.
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Love to see it.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: The Indiana Hoosiers do not make the playoffs. Everybody's pulling
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: against them this year. And Keelan Russell is a Heisman finalist,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and he says that's her homer pick. I'm an Auburn fan,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: and she's an Alabama fan. Oh, mama stews. She lost one.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: By the way, all these three bold predictions, you can
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: tell what fan base they're for.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, generally, yes. Are you saying the Georgia guy who
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: had Georgia Tech winning the ACC in Georgia 8-4? Yeah,
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: he might be a rambler. He might be a hell
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: of an engineer. That's our one. A lot more bold
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: predictions after we talk to Todd Furman coming up on
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the other side. This is the next round presented by
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bets on Sporting State.
