• 1:02
  SPEAKER_03: I've done so much Texas Tech stuff this week.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_03: We did RPOD, we're doing it twice now.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_03: I hopped on with uh our guy Jeff Brunson and and Brooks from Tailgate Talks on Taco and Tech Live yesterday.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_03: We were on talking Texas Tech for like two hours.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_03: It was a great time, but I am taking in so much Texas Tech stuff.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_03: I am giving it to the people.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_03: I'm excited.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: So you're you're welcome, people, for Steven's sacrifice of talking.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_03: You're welcome.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: It's very taxing on him.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_03: I know it's really tough for me, but I grind it out and I do it for you guys.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_03: So why are we here, Steven?
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_03: We're here to talk about the Wyoming Cowboys.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_03: We're also here to talk about the release depth chart because we didn't get a chance to do that last episode because it wasn't released yet.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_03: We jumped the gun a little bit, but hey, we're talking about it now.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we got a little overly excited, you know?
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: We wanted to talk about it before it was dropped because that makes sense, I guess.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I I mean nothing really changed on the depth chart that we thought.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing surprised.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_03: There were a few like little surprises here or there, but uh we'll kind of run through that and then we'll get into Wyoming, give a few score predictions, and do just overall Big 12 picks.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna try to do that uh throughout the season.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, word up, man.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: And that includes that includes the newbies, too, the new pack four plus uh well, I guess everybody else is already here.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, I mean we'll talk about UT and OU as well because they are still in the conference for another year.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_03: So uh yeah, we're gonna be uh hopefully we'll move past these picks pretty quick because we're gonna be talking about 18 teams pretty consistently uh every single week.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: So uh this model that's 16 teams in a conference now.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it makes sense.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_03: Round Robin for our uh over a decade.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_03: Now we'll throw six more in.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_03: Mess around and add four more.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: Incorrect numbers.
• 2:50
  unknown: Woo!
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_03: Woo! All right, let's talk depth chart.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_03: It was released Monday afternoon.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_03: Uh start let's start with special teams.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: We'll go into offense, we'll go into defense.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, special teams.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_02: I'm looking at uh Don Williams's dirty computer screen right now.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Don.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_03: Thank you, Don, for screenshotting for us so we could actually get it at one place.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_03: Uh subscribe to the Avalanche Journal.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_03: Subscribe, please.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_03: All right, punter, no surprise.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_03: Austin SmackNamara is here again for his final year.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Joey's talked up the backup pretty good.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: Brooke Onra, I believe is how you say it.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: But no, uh, we got we got a great punter.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_03: What what else to say?
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's the best, he's the best player on the team, without question.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_03: Best best player on the team because he's been on the talk and tech podcast before.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so shout out to the couple.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: That's not why, but you know, it doesn't hurt.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_03: He's fantastic.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_03: Place kicker, Gino Garcia.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_03: But the difference here, kickoffs is going to be done by Reese Burkhart, which is the backup kicker.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_03: Sometimes they do this.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_03: I think they did this um 2021 where John Garabay was the place kicker, but Trey Wolf did the kickoff.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, it's just depending.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_03: Sometimes these guys have different skill sets.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_03: So uh nothing, nothing different, just a new kicker again.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: Is are they trying to rest the leg so they alternate between the legs?
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_03: Why not use your left leg?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, try kicking the lefty.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, switch it up the roll of the game.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_03: No, uh that's good.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_03: We I uh we spoke about the kicker.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um it was one of my pessimisms when we were talking about it, the season outlook and everything like that.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_03: But hey, who knows?
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_03: Gino could be fantastic.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_03: He had a great season when he kicked for Houston Baptist.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_03: Obviously, this is a much different situation here, so um Joey seems pretty high on him, and uh we're excited.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_03: New kicker.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, we have to use him too much, you know.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, unless it's just for extra points, of course.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let's score some touchdowns.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, TD's, please.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_03: Same long snappers the last few years, Jackson Knott's they're all great on uh social media.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, he did the whole Guardians of the Galaxy thing when he was introing to camp.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_03: That was pretty fun, but um, long snappers important.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: And and what more can you say?
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_02: That's what he'd say in-depth dive of the snapper.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_03: Kick returners, they listed Jordan Brown, Xavier White, Miles Price, and Nehemiah Martinez here.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_03: Jordan Brown being number one.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's good.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_03: He returned kicks last year, he is returning kicks again this year.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_03: The former walk-on transfer from Kansas.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_03: So apparently he's had a great camp.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_03: I think Joey said everybody's had a great camp, though.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_03: So uh we shall see.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, maybe and maybe that's the case.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe everybody just has had a great camp, and we're excited and we're gonna be the best team ever.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_03: But uh Jordan Brown kicking kick returning.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, and you were saying that you were surprised that you didn't see uh Dre McCray.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_03: I was, I was a little surprised he's not listed on punt returner or kick returner, and for a guy that is as speedy as he is, you know, sometimes a uh a kick returner or a punt return is just not in the cards for some of these guys.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: It's the high kick, the high reception.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_03: Sometimes you're just not very good at it.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_03: And maybe these other guys were just better.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_03: So remind me, was Jakeem our main guy back in the day?
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_03: He returned, he returned punts, he returned kicks, I believe.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_03: He I don't know if he was always that, but uh he did return a uh punt for a touchdown, I believe, in like his freshman or sophomore season.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_03: So he did it throughout his career, and he's an all-time special teams guy.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, uh also shouts out Jakeem.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: It sucks that he got hurt again.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_03: Looks like he's gonna be out for the second straight year with another injury that he suffered uh for the Cleveland Browns.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_03: So shouts out Jakeem.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_03: Hopefully, uh he can get past this and uh return back to form.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_03: But man, that sucks being out two years in a row.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely, man.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and uh you know who also is a special teams guy?
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_02: Who's that?
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: Bart Rager.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: Bart Rager, is he still in jail?
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_03: I think he went to jail, didn't he?
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's he's he went to jail, but I don't know if he's still in jail.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_02: But Bart Rager.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: No, he uh he doesn't like his tax, he doesn't like paying taxes and shit.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, who does?
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_03: You know Bart didn't think we'd get a Bart Rager reference here on the pod today.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, yeah, just the commercials in Lubbock, baby.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely special teams guy of the year.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_03: He was the reason those tech teams won games because of his fight and his spirit.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_03: Please move on.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: Cunt returner, Miles Price, Xavier White.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_03: That's the same kind of duo that was last year.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: So that's gonna kind of round out special teams.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: Let's move on.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_03: Offense.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_03: Surprise, surprise, Tyler Shucks, your starting quarterback, Barron Morton's the number two.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: They didn't list the number three.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_03: That nothing to talk about here.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_02: So I mean, likely Jake Strong, right?
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_02: And hopefully they throw a red shirt on that guy and uh just have a walk-on as the uh the third guy in the slot.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_02: You thinking?
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: Or yeah, I'm interested to see who actually travels to Wyoming because I think dressing out just counts as a game for freshmen.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_03: So who knows?
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_03: I I don't I hope he doesn't have to play this year.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_03: I hope he's red shirt and hopefully we don't have to go past the first dude, but yeah, for real.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_03: Let's have a healthy QB1 for all the season.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_03: How about that?
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_03: Starting running back Tosh Brooks backing him up, Cameron Valdez, no surprise.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_03: The receiver position, you got Loick Fungi starting at the X with Jordan Brown backing him up.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_03: You have Duran Bradley starting at the Z with JJ Sparkman backing him up.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: At the Y, you have Miles Price, Xavier White behind him, Nehemiah Martinez, and at the H, you have Jeremy McCray starting with Brady Boyd behind him.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_03: So these guys are all gonna see playtime.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_03: Like, just because you're a backup at one of these positions does not mean that you are not gonna play at all.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_03: I they they are gonna utilize with these sets, they're gonna throw guys out there.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_03: Um, now JJ Sparkman's not gonna get the same number of snaps as Durant Bradley is, but he's still gonna see the field, he's still gonna be in the offense.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: So the only surprise really is Dre McCrae being a true starter.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think all the depth charts leading up to this were saying Dre McCrae was kind of a backup behind either Fungi or Bradley or Miles Price or somebody else.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_03: But no, they have him starting here at the H.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_03: So uh they must trust him, believe in him a lot, and he's a weapon, man.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_03: He's so fast.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_03: He obviously had some great years at Austin P.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_03: So hopefully that transfer's over.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: My Austin P.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: peers, dude.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: If you if you didn't catch him last season, the dude's a lightning bolt.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_03: He's fantastic.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: Pier legend.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_03: Eight catches for 92 yards against Alabama.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_03: That ain't nothing.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, you the peers almost had him, dude.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_03: I tell you what, I was rooting hard for Austin P in that one.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_03: Moving on to the tight end position.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: The starters at tight end are a combo.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's Mason Tharp and Baylor Cup with Henry Teter or Jaden York.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_03: This is the or position that always appears on the depth chart.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_03: So it does look like Tharp and Cup are going to be the main two tight ends.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_03: Teeter coming in for blocking purposes, and Jaden York's made some noise actually in camp.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_03: Again, another one of those guys that that Joey's saying had a great camp.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_03: And so it's must have been a great camp, man.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_03: It must have been just one must have been one hell of a camp.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: All-time camp for the state.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you what.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_03: But no, this tight end room is super deep.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: We're excited about it.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_03: We we broke it down in a previous episode.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_03: So no, no surprises here.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, and that's definitely a position we're excited to see more of.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: I'm hoping that uh Kitley really incorporates it more.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of Kitley, speaking of the offense, uh he's getting some love.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: He just got listed as like one of the top uh coordinators to watch by the athletics.
• 10:50
  SPEAKER_02: So um definitely lucky to have a guy like him.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: He got mentioned right behind uh Clemson's uh Garrett Riley.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_02: So he's they think quite highly of him.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_03: So nice, yeah.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_03: I think CJIU also got shouted out in like an under 40 list.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_03: So we got some we got some guys on this coaching staff.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_03: Really excited.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: But finishing out the offense is the line.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_03: The big boys.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_03: Same starters as we thought.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_03: Monroe Mills at left tackle with Matt Keeler backing him up, left guard Cole Spencer with Jacoby Jackson backing him up, Rusty Stotz at the center position with Sheridan Wilson backing him up, Dennis Wilburn at right guard, Landon Peterson behind him, and right tackle Caleb Rogers and Ty Buchanan behind him.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_03: Super experienced offensive line, a lot of starts between these five guys, and even the backups.
• 11:37
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Jacoby Jackson played legitimate snaps last year, Landon Peterson started a couple games, Keeler started a game.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_03: Buchanan is a uh USC transfer, I believe, that played a little bit last year.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: So um you're you're gonna see an improved offensive line here.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so no surprises here, right?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: Just definitely the the the biggest veterans on the team for sure.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you you added a a decent O-line that got pretty pretty good at the end of last year, and you added Cole Spencer and Rusty Stotts.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_03: So you're you're looking to be in pretty good shape there.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, please protect our QBs, please.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_03: Please.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_03: All right, finish off defense.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go with the big boys.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_03: Let's start this time with the big boys.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_03: Outside linebacker, we have Steve Linton with Bryce Ramirez or Isaac Smith behind him.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_03: You have the other side, it's going to be Miles Cole at the edge position with Joseph Adore backing him up.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: Joey did mention that he would like to redshirt a Daydere this year.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if that's going to be possible.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_03: I think he's too good to sit for another year.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then of course, at the defensive tackle position, you have Tony Bradford with Duda Banks behind him and nose tackle, Jalen Hutchings with transfer Quincy Ladette behind him.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_03: So uh really strong defensive line, excited about all these dudes.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, absolutely.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_02: Definitely a strong point in the defense for sure.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: No doubt.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, that's six deep.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_03: You're going with that defensive line.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_03: Uh when you're seeing Isaac Smithless as the third guy, you're you're good.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_03: You're in this, you're feeling good.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, probably the scariest unit in our on our defense, correct?
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_03: All the way through.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: And I, you know, despite what I said last time about Steve Lind and Miles Cole, which was a little pessimistic, it was just more of a let's slow the brakes and not pretend like these guys are going to be first round picks all of a sudden.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_03: But this unit itself is fantastic through and through.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_02: Monstrous.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_03: So shout out Bryce Ramirez for getting back so quickly after a horrendous injury.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_03: We've now seen two coaches on the staff get emotional talking about him.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: CJIU and then um Tim DeRuder also was kind of on the verge of tears in the first press conference talking about him.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_03: So uh love a guy like that on your team, just a motivator through and through, seeing the stuff that he's gone through and get back.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_03: So it's awesome.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_03: That was the best part of the UT game, man.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_03: It was, it was it really was just seeing him up there rooting them all.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: And in the stretcher with his hands up in the air.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was great.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_03: It was great.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_03: Let's go to linebacker.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_03: Will linebacker, Josiah Pierre backing him up, Ben Roberts, who is a freshman, I believe, or retro freshman at least, at the Mike linebacker position.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_03: Jacob Rodriguez listed as the starter, Tyreek Matthews backing him up, and then Wesley Smith also listed at Mike.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_03: This is a uh a unit that I'm not so thrilled about.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think anybody's super high on the inside linebackers at tech.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_03: A lot of young guys, a lot of unproven talent, but hey, who knows?
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_03: Josiah Pierre could be the best defensive player on this team.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: So probably the biggest question mark on the entire team, would you say?
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_03: Definitely, in my opinion.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe outside of kicking.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_03: The there's just you don't know much.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, even Jacob Rodriguez, he played last year, but he didn't play a ton.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_03: You know, he was behind two great linebackers in Kosai and Krishan.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_03: So Tyreek Matthews going into, I believe, his fifth or sixth year at Texas Tech.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_03: Wesley Smith hasn't played a lot of snaps.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_03: Ben Roberts, obviously, being so young.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_03: I know Ty Kana might be in the mix there.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_03: He's also a red shirt freshman.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, you you uh God forbid Josiah Pierre and Jacob Rodriguez go down.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_03: You you may be struggling here.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they look look a little weak there, a little uh thin at least.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_03: So let's go to safeties.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_03: Uh start with the star position, CJ Baskerville.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_03: He is the transfer um in gonna kind of take over the muddy waters role from last season.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_03: Big role, big shoes.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_03: It's big shoes to Phil Muddy was awesome.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then you got another couple young guys, Brendan Jordan, who is a true freshman backing him up at the star, with Joseph Plunk as well backing up uh CJ at the star.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_03: So uh just a couple young guys, man.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_03: It's uh uh let's hope let's hope these dudes don't get hurt.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_02: Very, very big point here.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: I gotta say, I think Joseph Plunk is a very good secondary name.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_03: Great name.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: Great, great secondary name.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_03: He's gonna plunk you.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_03: I think he's a local, I think he's a local kid too.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna plunk some boys.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: Shuts out Joe Plunk.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_03: Love it.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_03: The other two safeties, obviously, Rabbit starting with another true freshman, Chapman Lewis backing him up, and Tyler Owens at the other safety position with Joseph Plunk and Jordan Sanford, who is another true freshman.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_03: So a lot of true freshmans here at the safety spot.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of better veterans mixed with some newbies, huh?
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: So it'll be fun.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_03: It'll be fun to see some young guys potentially get in in like the Tarleton games and uh hopefully Wyoming, you know, potentially we could see them this first week.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: But um yeah, yeah, young mix of youth and and and old fellows here.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_03: So let's round it out with cornerback because this is a little surprising, probably the most surprising thing on the depth chart release.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_03: Uh, at one corner, you have Ray Shad Williams starting, who started every game, I think, last season.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_03: So Jalen Peoples, redshirt freshman, starting behind, or not backing him up with Cam Watts also in the mix there at the other cornerback position.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_03: They listed Braylon Lux first before Malik Dunlap.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_03: Now they did put the or and Joey was asked about this in his presser and said, Hey, what's kind of the deal there?
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Malik started every game, a lot of people are high on him.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_03: He's got he's a great corner in his own right.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_03: But Joey really just said Ray Shah Braylon and Malik Dunlap are all kind of tied for cornerback right now.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_03: They're all going to play pretty similar snaps on both sides.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_03: We'll kind of see as the season progresses, but it's not more of one is better the other, it's more of just all three are at the same level.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully that means they're all on the same level of being really good and not like ooh, who's our best option sort of thing.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_03: I I'm happy, I'm thrilled to be three deep on corner because if one of those guys goes down, you always you have a great player backing that guy up.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_03: So um I I at this position, I don't think starter really matters.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_03: I think it's just hey, uh, you're going this week, you have a little more size than the other guy, the other guy's a little quicker.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's just gonna depend on matchups.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_03: So right um excited for it.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_03: But this is this is good.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_03: This is kind of what we expected for the depth chart for week one, and I'm just I'm just ready to see this team play.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, now I want to see these names on the actual field rather than just on on paper or uh Don Williams' dirty laptop screen.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: So uh I'm ready to see him in action.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_03: Shout out, Don.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: Appreciate it.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, shout out to Don.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: Well and good.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_03: All right, man.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: Laramie, Wyoming, Wyoming Cowboys, Laradice, better cowpogues.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_03: Laradice, as put on this website on uyo.edu.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_03: The heart of the mountain west, the Laramie settlement founded in 1868 as a stop on the Union Pacific Railroad.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_03: Just a wow vast history of this melting through that article right there.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_03: The website, not very well put together, I'm gonna say.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_03: But one thing about this stadium and this city in general, this is the highest elevation of any college football stadium in college football.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_03: That is a fun fact.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_03: It is, it's a fun fact, and it's actually gonna affect these guys.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_03: We're going up a day early, I believe, on Friday, for the guys to kind of do a fast Friday, is what Joey calls it, where they kind of run through everything on the field and kind of get used to the elevation and everything like that.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_03: It's a smart move, but for sure.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_03: Um, definitely different.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, this isn't this isn't gonna be an easy place to play by any means.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_02: No, not uh not at all.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um they're even they they're even making a big deal out of it.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: Obviously, they're hosting the power five team on their schedule at home.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and they're striping out the stadium against us.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: You're gonna see a brown and yellow across the uh across the stands during the game.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be really loud, man.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: I think they're gonna come and show up for their cowboys big time.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be a pretty intimidating environment to kick off your season.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, obviously, yeah, it's not like walking into a Big 12 stadium size-wise, but I do think it's gonna be pretty hostile.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: And obviously, like you said, with some other outside environments, like such as the Evelation and stuff.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: I think this game is gonna be trickier than we initially think.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, like I have said before, uh, this this game started out to me as a game you want to survive and just go home and get get get past.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: I've kind of changed my tune as we've gotten closer to it, but all in all, I mean it's a great opponent to open up with because I think you're gonna be tested pretty early.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna be pushed, but I think you're gonna be tested.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely, definitely.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_03: This is not a bad team by any means.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_03: You have some really good players.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_03: This is a solid G5 program.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_03: Bowl is a very uh tenured coach, he's been around, he's seen some things.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_03: Uh he's gotten Miami or my him, he's gotten Wyoming in a uh uh pretty good bowl eligibility almost every single year for this team.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_03: So um it'll be a test.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_03: It'll be fun.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, last time they hosted a power pipe team at home for an home opener, they won, and that was Missouri.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_02: Granted, I think we're better than Missouri, especially the Missouri that it was back then um a few years ago.
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_02: But uh, you know, a seven and six season last season.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, just they they had a very similar year to that we did, obviously a different sort of schedule they play, but a solid Mountain West team, and I'm sure you're gonna see much of the same.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_03: Just a couple guys to highlight for Wyoming.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_03: They had five players on the preseason all-conference team for the Mountain West.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_03: A couple defensive linemen, Devon Harris and Jordan Bertonole.
• 21:17
  SPEAKER_03: Nailed it.
• 21:18
  unknown: Yeah.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_03: Let's just say he nailed it.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_03: I know what I'm talking about.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_03: Two guys on the defensive line, and that's what Joey said too.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_03: They have a really good defensive line.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_03: He's actually coached with the defensive line coach in the past, uh, for the current defensive line coach at Wyoming.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_03: So he's he thinks they're gonna be a challenge there at the D-line, and um, we'll see how our offensive line holds up in their first uh first test of the year.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's uh that's a really great uh opportunity to see what what our O line's made of early.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_02: Uh obviously not against top line talent, but enough to get their feet wet going forward.
• 21:51
  unknown: Yeah.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_02: Definitely see what they're made of.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_03: They have an offensive lineman, Frank Crum, number seventy five.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_03: He's got some lettuce on him.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: So Guy protecting the quarterback.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: That doesn't hurt you.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um, their best player, though, it seems to be Easton Gibbs, a junior linebacker.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: Seems to be on all first conference, Mountain West, is a returning guy, is potentially gonna be all-time leader in tackles at Wyoming by the end of his career.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_03: I think a lot of people are predicting.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_03: So Easton Gibbs is a good player.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_03: He's he's at that inside linebacker spot, so he'll have he'll have kind of a force at every asset of the game, run game, pass game, everything like that.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds like defense is this team's strong suit, then, huh?
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: They like to play slow.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: They like to play very slow.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_03: Zach Kitley mentioned in the presser that I think they averaged about 50 plays a game versus Texas Tech, who averaged about 80 plays a game last year.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: So definitely a much, much different style of football.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_03: They're gonna try to slow you down and run down your throat.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_02: Sounds pretty old school.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, like an older way of thinking about football.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: Definitely.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: And that's not to say they're gonna do the exact same thing they did last year, but yeah, they're they're gonna try to slow it down, and I think tech's gonna get ready and try to, you know, pick up the pace a little bit and show them something.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, hopefully that's that plays more into our cards, you know, that hopefully we can exhaust them, you know, that it's playing at a speed that they're not used to, playing at a pace they're not used to.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, not that, you know, up tempo is a new school of thought in football, but it's hopefully we can definitely win them early.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_03: They also have a pretty good kicker, apparently.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_03: John Bol Boyland is uh preseason all Mountain West kicker.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, that that matters.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_03: That definitely matters.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_03: No, absolutely.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but underrated aspects of the game, man.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_02: Like we said last week, that's why it made us nervous about uh the new kick and core on our side.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_03: Their quarterback is not a world beater, he did okay last year, nothing insane, but again, they're not a real pass heavy offense, so they don't really rely on the quarterback that much compared to some other teams.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_03: But um, we'll see their running backs.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_03: I want to get his name.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_03: Harrison Whaley is out for this game.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_03: Not gonna play.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_03: He, I believe he was gonna be the projected starting running back for Wyoming.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_03: So that's something that's nice.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_02: That's gotta be I mean, that's gotta be a big blow for a team like Wyoming against an opponent like Texatech.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_02: You want to be firing at all senators, senators.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: You're gonna be you want to be firing at all cylinders whenever you're playing a team like Texatech, you know, uh trying to prove yourself against a better team.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_02: So if you're out on your best players, it's it's gonna it's gonna be a lot tougher to get the job done against us.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, obviously that's great in our favor, but obviously I would have liked to see the young man get his shit shot at us.
• 24:39
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, that's gonna be a big hit on them.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, definitely.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_03: All right, man.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_03: Anything else on Wyoming?
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: No, I mean it's it's game one, so it's hard to judge anything, you know.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm glad it's a G5 team.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm glad we're opening up with a G5 team rather than uh the NFCS team for entertainment-wise, but uh definitely a test, dude.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_03: For sure.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_03: This is definitely one of the better week one Big 12 games, and probably one of the better overall week one games for college football.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_03: Just you're you're not getting a cupcake.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: So ESPN2 at six o'clock, right?
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_02: 6 30.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_02: CBS, isn't it?
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_02: Or we better figure this out.
• 25:17
  SPEAKER_03: CBS.
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_03: CBS is at 6 30 Central Time, Saturday, September 2nd.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_03: So prime time, baby.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_03: Even time so I've been saying, I've been saying put Wyoming on prime time.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_03: It needs to happen.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_02: It needs to happen already.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: Get Lairdice on national TV.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_03: Lairdice, that's the biggest takeaway from this, is that they call it Lairdice.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_02: And Steven, we do have a losing record toward uh to the uh to the Wyoming Cowboys.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: Shut it is three and two, so it's time to even the score.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, I'm I'm sure it'll be like uh repeated to hell in the game with the broadcasters, but this is the Mahomes um uh Josh Allen game.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the comps kind of kind of a cool uh matchup.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_03: The comps run deep.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_03: The AFC Titans that are Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen versus in in this matchup.
• 26:09
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, uh, it would be kind of cool if we were playing Josh Allen.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_03: It's I'm very glad that we're not because oh my god, that would have been a nightmare.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: But uh no, no, just a fun opponent, really fun opponent.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_02: It really is, it is.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: So Mount West is fun.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_03: Mountain best.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_03: Mountain best.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_03: All right, man.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: Uh look forward to it.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_03: I am excited to actually see this team for the first time this year display some of the new guys, the new transfers that are gonna be instant impact players.
• 26:42
  SPEAKER_03: Tyler Shuck, I'm excited to see him sling the ball.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_03: I want him to just go crazy, go for six touchdowns.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_02: 100 said, dude.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: I I'll I'll I'll say my score at the end, but I have our offense doing okay.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we'll we'll go through the rest of the games and then we'll finish off with Tech Wyoming and uh get out of here on a little shorter episode.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, for sure, man.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_03: All right, man.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: Big 12 and get your face out of my screen.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: Big 12 games.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_03: Let's start it out.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_03: Kent State and UCF Thursday night, the first Big 12 game of the year.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_03: We're just gonna pick predict wins and losses.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_03: We're not doing spreads here.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_03: We're gonna mention spreads on like Texas Tech Games, we're not gonna mention spreads on all 18 teams.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_03: So win or loss, UCF versus the mighty Kent State Tenters, golden flashers, yeah.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_02: The Nick Sabans.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_02: Um, oh yeah.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you said the spread was like 36 of this.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so UCF is gonna be their inaugural game.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be the hurricane bowl.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_02: The hurricane's about to hit, and they're still got the game on, even though they're canceling classes, but okay.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think UCF is going to win.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_03: It's a football move right there.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_03: You're gonna play in the freaking 50 mile an hour winds.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_02: Plus isn't stopping there.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_03: All right, we both got UCF.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_03: These these picks are gonna be a lot better when we start getting into conference.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, probably.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_03: I imagine so.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_03: Next up, Missouri State.

  SPEAKER_03: He was he was ass at Tennessee, so he was, he was.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_02: But a lot of guys have been lately.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
• 29:36
  SPEAKER_03: This is the first game worth talking about.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_03: Dion Sanders making his debut as the Colorado head coach, going into Fort Worth, playing TCU in week one.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_03: Ranked Ranked?
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_03: Wait, TCU, right?
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, 14, yeah.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_03: They're 14?
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_03: No way.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_03: No.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_03: Am I wrong?
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_03: Am I a stupid butthead?
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_03: You're a stupid butt head anyway, even if you're right about this.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_03: No, there's no way that TCU is ranked.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_02: 17.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_02: Apologies.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_03: What?
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_02: According to the athletic, I'm using their their website.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_03: Okay, AP, yeah, you're right.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_03: AP poll TCU number 17, down 15 spots from where they ended last season, which was number two.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_03: But yeah, Colorado, what do you think of Colorado?
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_03: Are they gonna be decent this year?
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_03: Are they gonna be bad?
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_03: What do you think?
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_02: I think they're gonna surprise some people, but I don't think they're going bowling.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_02: I think they're gonna be better than what they're like predicted to win two games.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: I bet they manage more than two games, but I think they'll test some people.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think they're going bowling, though.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_03: They flipped the entire team, and last year's team was brutal.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_03: They went one and eleven, right?
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so to yeah, to be fair.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, people were giving Dion crap, but they were like the worst team in the power five last year.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: You did they clearly did not have power five talent.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty brutal, pretty brutal tough scene for the players.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: He's got a rebuild in front of him.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_03: He does, but I think he's gonna pick it up pretty quickly.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_03: They're gonna win, I don't know.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_03: I probably four or five games this year, potentially.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_03: So no, I think TCU takes care of business, though.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_03: Me too.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_03: I agree, and it's a Big 12 sneak peek, which is kind of cool.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_03: It is, it's a fun game.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_03: It's what OU should have kept that Georgia game, uh, but they whist out.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, good good for Colorado and TCU for keeping it.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_02: For sure.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_03: All right, Northern Iowa, Iowa State in Ames.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_03: Who you got?
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_02: You know, Northern Iowa is usually a pretty decent FCS team.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think it was even that long ago when they upset at Iowa State.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_02: So, but I do think Iowa State wins this game.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think Iowa State is you know on the struggle bust, but I don't think they're struggle busting to an FCS loss.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I yeah, I agree.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think uh it may be closer than what some people think, especially with how much their team got affected by this gambling stuff.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, dude, yeah.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_02: This is probably gonna be closer than people think, like maybe a couple, maybe a couple scores.
• 31:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I would I I wouldn't bet the Iowa State money line, but I I'm probably predicting a dub here for the clones for sure.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_03: Eastern Kentucky, Cincinnati.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_03: What you got?
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_02: I've got Cincinnati, man.
• 32:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's Cincinnati's gonna be gonna be an interesting team because I don't think anyone knows what to expect out of them at all.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so yeah, it's yeah, they're they have a much different team, brand new coach who did meh at least.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no, no one understands the hire, but I do think they win.
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_03: Weird hire, but who knows?
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe they'll they'll mess around and be pretty good.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_03: But let's see.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_03: I I don't think Cindy has a very good year.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: So no, I don't think so either.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna take them in this one, but uh maybe not many more in the future.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, I think it's be pretty rough.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_03: Big game in Austin.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_03: The Rice Ricers, Rice Owls going to Austin playing the Longhorns.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, I got the Longhorns in this one in this Southwest Conference throwback matchup.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_02: I think uh the Longhorns unfortunately win.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_02: What about you?
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_03: How funny would it be?
• 33:04
  SPEAKER_02: God, don't even put that thought into my head.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't even entertained it, so please don't make me.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_03: How funny would it be if the rice owls went into Austin and messed around and won this game?
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_02: I would be I'd be one happy clam, sir.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_02: I would be one happy clam.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_02: The meltdown alone would be tune in for a second.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_03: You know who uh who the starting quarterback for Rice is?
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_02: No, I do not.
• 33:30
  SPEAKER_03: JT Daniels, who started at West Virginia last year and was like previously at Georgia, and like that's right.
• 33:37
  SPEAKER_03: JT Daniels starting.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, who knows?
• 33:40
  SPEAKER_03: He's played against this competition before.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_03: It's true, it's true.
• 33:43
  SPEAKER_02: He knows he knows what he can answer.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: He's lost a lot against that competition.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's true.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_03: He's that's there's a reason he's in rice right now.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, I'll I'll take the horns.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not happy about it, but I'll take the horns.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, me too.
• 33:57
  SPEAKER_03: Texas State Bobcats, powerhouse of Texas going into Waco playing Baylor.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_03: Who you got?
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_02: I copy the Baylor Bears.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: You Tech State's got a year one guy.
• 34:07
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they're in a rebuild right now.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_02: You can even say a rebuild if they haven't even been built before, but uh yeah, no, Tex State isn't gonna do anything this year.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_03: They don't do anything any year.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: I know, but like it's it's it's maybe this maybe the staff will get it together.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: I think they're from uh Incarnate Word and you Incarnet Word's kind of been a coaching factory from the FCS lately, so maybe they finally got a dude, but it's just not happening this year.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_03: They have all they have plenty of resources to be much better of a program than what they are.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_02: Embarrassingly bad out of that.
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_02: Stupid, it's so dumb.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_03: Also, 50% of our high school class went to Texas State.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_03: So shout out.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: Our high school is like 20 miles from it.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, shout out.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's where we uh had our high school graduation at Texas State.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, exactly.
• 34:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, in their in their uh basketball arena.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_03: Baylor's gonna win this game.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_03: Sorry.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 34:55
  SPEAKER_03: UTSA at Houston, another good matchup.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_03: The runners expected to be pretty good.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be a good matchup.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be one of the best games to watch.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: I think so too.
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_03: I'm definitely gonna tune in.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_03: Who you got?
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_03: We were we were going back and forth on this on who we were tomorrow.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_03: Do you st do you actually want the Cougars to win this game?
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know what?
• 35:15
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: I do.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_02: I want the Cougars to win.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I I don't think Houston's gonna have a good year, but I don't want them to lose to uh, you know, it will be an American team in their Big 12 debut.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_02: That's embarrassing.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_02: That's just not not just embarrassing for them.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's embarrassing for us.
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: Like we took this this team on, and here they are pooping against subpar competition, or at least which should be subpar competition, no knock on the uh roadrunners.
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I do think Houston wins though.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_02: I I know that's uh that's probably a hot take, but I I think I think Holge will get it done at home because I think it's probably be a packed out stadium, you know, an inaugural Big 12 game against in-state competition.
• 35:51
  SPEAKER_02: So I think it'll probably be a good atmosphere.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_02: Um and I think I think they do.
• 35:54
  SPEAKER_02: I think uh I think the lights will be a little bright for the road roadrunners that night, and Houston will barely get it done.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_03: A packed 30k stadium in Houston, Texas.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: Size isn't all that important anymore, you know.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's probably it's probably just more about the quality of the product.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_03: The runners are gonna win this game.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_03: We're disagreeing here, and I not just because I want them to win, but I think Jeff Trailer's got that thing going.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_03: He got that thing going.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_03: Frank Harris returning, he's a great quarterback in his own right.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_03: They always have solid players over there at UTSA since Jeff Trailer took the job.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_02: So I I think UTSA is going to be that G5 team that U of H was, you know, in the state now.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: They're they're that next like really strong team year in and year out.
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, G5 team.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, absolutely.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_03: All right, we disagree for the first time.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_03: I got the runners, you got the cougs in this one.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_03: Let's move on.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_03: Southeast Missouri State at Kansas State.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_03: Any fave?
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_02: No fave.
• 36:52
  SPEAKER_02: I think Kansas State is gonna do okay.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, same.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_03: Nothing to talk about either.
• 36:57
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, even yeah, please don't spend more than 10 seconds on this.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_03: Okay state.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_03: All right, Arkansas, Central Arkansas at Oklahoma State.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_03: Bowman the Showman, debut for the Cowboys.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_02: Indeed.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_02: You know, you I don't like the University of Central Arkansas very much because um our very first game as students was against Central Arkansas and it came down to the wire.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_02: Shut up.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_02: We went on to win four games.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_02: So Davis Webb.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_02: Not a big fan of ever seeing that team on anything, nothing against them at all.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_03: Shouts out Davis Webb.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_03: He's actually he's gonna, I think he's gonna be in Wyoming for the Wyoming game.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, really?
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the technique.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think he said he quote tweeted something and said, see you in Laramie or something.
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's a big raider, Red Raider fan.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_02: He's an all-time Red Raider, but uh I like Davis Webb.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_02: That was a tough year.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_03: I like Davis Webb.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_03: That was a really bad, bad year.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_03: All right, I got Oklahoma State.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: You got Oklahoma State.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_03: I have Oklahoma State.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 37:54
  SPEAKER_03: It it'll be interesting to see how Bowman plays.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, he hasn't played football in two years now, two, three years.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_03: So um, see if he reverts back to what he could have been at Texas Tech.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_02: And good thing we don't have to worry about it either.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_03: No doubt.
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_03: We don't play him.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's kind of sad.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: I wanted to play Oklahoma State.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_02: I know, I know, but it's it's still nice not having the root against Bowman.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it is what it is.
• 38:17
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_03: Hot take here.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_03: West Virginia at Penn State.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_03: Neil Brown going in to Happy Valley.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_03: Who you got?
• 38:32
  SPEAKER_02: Penn State, dude.
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: West Virginia is so cooked.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what drug you took that changed your mind about this.
• 38:38
  SPEAKER_02: Like, you have some sort of psych uh psychedelic revelation about this game, but it's not gonna happen, dude.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_03: I've been following West Virginia Twitter too close.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 38:49
  SPEAKER_03: They're joking, they're not serious, they're serious.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_03: Trust the climb.
• 38:53
  SPEAKER_03: All right, just because you don't trust the climb doesn't mean you can blame others for trusting the know how cooked Neil Brown is.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_03: He won't make it through the season, dude.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_03: Neil Brown is cooked, he's gonna get fired at the end of the season.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_03: West Virginia is also gonna upset Penn State and Happy Valley.
• 39:06
  unknown: Book it.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, fine.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_03: I have them as an L though.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_03: Book it.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_03: Don't put any money on that, please.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_03: This is just a gut feeling that I'm not gonna win.
• 39:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's a terrible gut instinct.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_02: That's a gut instinct.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's a gut instinct, and it's gonna happen.
• 39:23
  SPEAKER_02: You watch and you're gonna eat price or something instead.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_03: Sam Houston State going in to Provo, playing the BYU Cougars.
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: Sam Houston skates.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: Who you got?
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's their inaugural FPS game, man.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh as a conference USA team.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_02: I got BYU.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_02: Same.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's the BYU is gonna be exploding that night.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_02: It'll be an inaugural big game, a Big 12 game.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_02: They're gonna crush them.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_03: Bearcats.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_03: Bearcat Nation, Rise Up, even though they're one of the all-time best FCS programs, finally getting up and they'll be decent uh their first year in FPS competition, but no, they're not gonna go into Provo and beat BYU.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_02: No, no chance, no chance.
• 40:04
  SPEAKER_03: Not gonna happen.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_03: All right, let's talk about the soon-to-be newbies for the Big 12.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_03: We have we've already talked about Colorado, so we'll just hit on Utah, Arizona State, and Arizona here.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_03: Florida at Utah.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_03: This is probably the best game of week one, if not close to it.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: It probably is the best game.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, these are two big programs.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Utah has been awesome.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_03: They've our back-to-back Pac-12 champs, and Florida not been so awesome, but they have the pedigree of being a historically pretty good program.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_03: And um who you got?
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_03: Florida, they're playing, they're going into Salt Lake.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_03: So Gators visiting the Utes.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's gonna be a rambunctious atmosphere.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_02: Seven o'clock ESPN.
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I think Utah is gonna win this game.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, obviously, they're gonna be the heavy favorites going into it, but I bet it'll be a little closer than people realize because both teams are gonna be hungry to start the season off right, and they both have the talent to make some damage.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_02: But I think Utah gets it done.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_02: What about you?
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_03: I think Florida's gonna scare them a little bit.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think this is gonna be a very easy game for Utah.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_03: I don't think this is gonna be a blowout by any means.
• 41:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah so I it's it's fun, it's gonna be an exciting game.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_03: Utah is a pretty heavy favorite right now.
• 41:16
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but I'm gonna go I'm gonna go with the Utes.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, stick to it and uh say they have a pretty good year.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_03: I think they're ranked what, 14 to start off the year?
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_02: Pac-12 uh expectations.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_02: So they're gonna start it off right.
• 41:31
  SPEAKER_03: We'll see.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we both got Utah.
• 41:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um Southern Utah at Arizona State.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_03: Arizona State has self-inflicted a bull ban on their program this year.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_03: A move that is pretty despicable to the current team.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, how it happened so late.
• 41:53
  SPEAKER_03: It's really a slap in the face to those seniors and even the coaching staff.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_03: The coaching staff wasn't his fault.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_03: Everybody, I mean, it sucks.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_03: You're yeah, you're you're trying to get past it and trying to act like you're not playing for anything, but you're not playing for anything this year, and it sucks.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and it's this is a brand new coaching staff that doesn't deserve this at all, which it's just really crap, a really crabby situation.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um, they should have done it last year, they should have done it immediately, but dude, uh I I don't think I think obviously they did it because I they know that Arizona State's not expecting much this year, but they're gonna win this game, and it's they're not gonna lose this game.
• 42:26
