0:01
Speaker 1: All right, the fun Friday show we always have, Rarity.
0:03
Speaker 1: We've been on the road the last two weeks. In
0:05
Speaker 1: studio here, we're back out a couple of more times
0:08
Speaker 1: as we work our way into October college football. We'll
0:11
Speaker 1: get into what we saw last night here in a second,
0:13
Speaker 1: both in the NFL and college football and in baseball. Congratulations,
0:17
Speaker 1: Braves Nation, still online for a Rays-Braves World Series. We'll
0:22
Speaker 1: talk about that here in the opening segment. We've got
0:24
Speaker 1: headlines coming up. Our pick three is up and rolling.

Speaker 1: Go at nextroundlive.com. Go to nextroundlive.com, nextroundlive.com. Brooks will throw
0:33
Speaker 1: a link right about now into the chat so that
0:36
Speaker 1: you guys can jump in there and play nextroundlive.com. A
0:40
Speaker 1: lot of fun with that game. Last night in the
0:44
Speaker 1: NFL first, how can I say this? I cannot imagine
0:50
Speaker 1: a person, well, he wasn't always this way, right? And
0:53
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was great on that final drive to make
0:56
Speaker 1: it 24-24.
0:56
Speaker 2: Boy, that one he dropped in D.K. Metcalf's hands. That's
1:00
Speaker 2: as good a throw as you can make.
1:01
Speaker 1: And the throw into the end zone for the touchdown,
1:03
Speaker 1: throwing it behind him open, keeping the play alive at
1:06
Speaker 1: his age, but.
1:07
Speaker 3: It was still just all really good football.
1:09
Speaker 1: But the time, the three and a half quarters before that,
1:13
Speaker 1: when he seems to be just miserable when the game
1:16
Speaker 1: is playing, every time, I don't watch him every week,
1:19
Speaker 1: but every time I watch Aaron Rodgers play, I ask myself,
1:24
Speaker 1: If you're so miserable, why are you still playing the game?
1:28
Speaker 1: You've got enough money. You can walk away. He's MFing
1:31
Speaker 1: the coach. He's get to play in. He's this and that.
1:34
Speaker 3: Did you see what McCarthy said about him?
1:36
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
1:37
Speaker 3: He has always been that guy. Yeah. Was he that
1:39
Speaker 3: way in Green Bay, too? He was, yes. He just
1:42
Speaker 3: was younger. He was just younger.
1:43
Speaker 4: And better.
1:44
Speaker 3: And he was so good that you just thought that
1:48
Speaker 3: that was him.
1:49
Speaker 1: I sat and watched that last night. And for some reason,
1:52
Speaker 1: I was cheering for him. And the Steelers to win
1:55
Speaker 1: that game. And I had no.
1:58
Speaker 3: Wager on it or anything.
2:00
Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there, I'm watching, I'm like, it is
2:02
Speaker 1: turning into a miserable experience for me to watch you
2:05
Speaker 1: play football. I don't understand how Pittsburgh fans are happy
2:08
Speaker 1: about this, I guess because it's their best quarterback option.
2:12
Speaker 3: But it was.
2:12
Speaker 1: Miserable to watch that. him being so mad about stuff.
2:16
Speaker 3: Now, what did Mike McCarthy say after the game? Not
2:19
Speaker 3: after the game.
2:19
Speaker 2: It was when Aaron Rodgers was yelling at him, just
2:22
Speaker 2: call the effing play. And McCarthy, they cut to the
2:25
Speaker 2: sidelines to show him And he says, what an effing a-hole.
2:29
Speaker 3: Yeah, he said, what an effing a-hole. See, I didn't
2:32
Speaker 3: see that. I watched the whole game.
2:33
Speaker 2: You could clearly read that. It was almost like McCarthy
2:39
Speaker 2: moved the mouthpiece and looked at the camera and said it.
2:41
Speaker 1: You could sort of hear his audio saying it.
2:45
Speaker 3: Who, Rodgers? Yeah, just effing call the play.
2:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, clearly.
2:48
Speaker 1: Just call it. Just effing call it. You can faint
2:50
Speaker 1: hear it. And then you go to the sidelines, and
2:54
Speaker 1: he's like, what an effing.
2:57
Speaker 2: I mean, you can read it, Lance.
2:58
Speaker 3: Clear as day.
2:59
Speaker 2: You know what?
3:00
Speaker 3: I was sitting there going, he is. He is. McCarthy's right.
3:03
Speaker 3: You know, that is not good football teams. And I
3:06
Speaker 3: said it yesterday. Like, at the end of the season,
3:08
Speaker 3: we won't be talking about the Browns or the Steelers. Now,
3:10
Speaker 3: the Browns can enjoy this. for the next at least
3:13
Speaker 3: three days, they are in first place all alone in
3:15
Speaker 3: the AFC North.
3:16
Speaker 2: They are three and one with Deshaun Watson at quarterback.
3:18
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty remarkable.
3:19
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson's not playing bad. I know. Yeah, I mean,
3:21
Speaker 3: he's playing pretty good football right now. He's not played
3:23
Speaker 3: football in forever. The defense, even without Miles Garrett, attacks
3:26
Speaker 3: five sacks last night. But this Browns team, and they
3:29
Speaker 3: talked about it on the broadcast, how penalized they are.
3:32
Speaker 3: Fourteen penalties last night, and they still find a way
3:35
Speaker 3: to win the game? That's crazy. I think that shows
3:37
Speaker 3: you that Pittsburgh, who had eight penalties themselves, both had
3:40
Speaker 3: two turnovers. Just not great football teams.
3:44
Speaker 1: Not to take a shot, but they're, I think, two
3:46
Speaker 1: and a half games. I don't know how to do
3:48
Speaker 1: in football, but three wins ahead of Brown and me
3:50
Speaker 1: and two wins ahead of you. You're correct on those.
3:53
Speaker 1: They've got more wins than our three teams combined right now,
3:56
Speaker 1: which is.
3:58
Speaker 3: I would take it right now.
4:01
Speaker 2: To be booed the way he was booed, and I
4:06
Speaker 2: wish you could save receipts.
4:07
Speaker 1: You can't in the world, right? There are people that
4:10
Speaker 1: There are people that have complained about Kalen DeBoer in
4:12
Speaker 1: Alabama that if they keep winning, we'll be cheering for
4:15
Speaker 1: Kalen DeBoer in Alabama. And they threw him under the
4:20
Speaker 1: bus several times along the way.
4:21
Speaker 3: They've thrown him under the bus.
4:23
Speaker 2: Trust me, if USC finishes this thing 11-1, you won't
4:26
Speaker 2: be able to find all the Lincoln-Riley haters. All the
4:30
Speaker 2: Lincoln-Riley haters. That ain't going to happen. Shane Beamer wins
4:34
Speaker 2: the rest of them.
4:34
Speaker 3: That's right. All these people wanting dollars.
4:36
Speaker 2: You won't be able to find them.
4:37
Speaker 3: You can't find them.
4:38
Speaker 1: But I do wish... that Deshaun Watson was able to
4:41
Speaker 1: keep receipts from the Cleveland fans that were cheering for
4:44
Speaker 1: him last night to say.
4:45
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, but you guys didn't want me.
4:47
Speaker 3: It's on Deshaun, too.
4:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is.
4:49
Speaker 3: You know, Deshaun, you know, calling out his fan base,
4:52
Speaker 3: I thought that worked both ways.
4:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the one that did the, oh, the ones
4:57
Speaker 2: that booed me when I was down hurt those fans,
4:58
Speaker 2: you know, that type thing.
4:59
Speaker 3: Boy, and that is a great fan base that has
5:01
Speaker 3: never had anything to cheer for. You know, I had
5:03
Speaker 3: a buddy in town last night and we're watching the
5:05
Speaker 3: game and You know, he brought up Ernest Biner and
5:08
Speaker 3: brought up how good those teams were because, you know,
5:09
Speaker 3: they haven't won a division since 1989. Was that an
5:12
Speaker 3: AFC championship game, the Biner Fumble? It was, yeah.
5:14
Speaker 2: Well, twice, but the Biner Fumble probably was the worst
5:17
Speaker 2: of the two.
5:18
Speaker 3: It was the worst of the two.
5:18
Speaker 2: Because dude is going into the end zone.
5:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can understand John Elway having that incredible drive,
5:23
Speaker 3: but going in and fumbling. Yeah, I mean, he is
5:25
Speaker 3: running into the Super Bowl and fumbles. Oh, I was watching, yeah.
5:29
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just, you know it is. One of
5:34
Speaker 2: Lance's greatest tweets of all time. was after the crazy
5:38
Speaker 2: Arkansas Ole Miss play where Hunter Henry throws it over
5:43
Speaker 2: his head and Alex Collins, the best guy of all
5:48
Speaker 2: 22 that could possibly get it, gets it. Atlanta is
5:53
Speaker 2: officially closed forever for Ole Miss. If they could make
5:56
Speaker 2: it then, when were they going to make it?
5:59
Speaker 3: That's what you see with the Cleveland Browns, and I
6:01
Speaker 3: know that Todd Munkin said just a couple of weeks ago,
6:05
Speaker 3: F that when Mike Tomlin said Browns being Browns. Yeah.
6:10
Speaker 3: By the way, he sounds just like Super Dave Osborne.
6:13
Speaker 3: Todd Munkin. Todd Munkin does.
6:14
Speaker 2: He looks a little like him, too. Yeah, he does
6:16
Speaker 2: kind of have a Super Dave Osborne look. I used
6:18
Speaker 2: to think that was a real deal. I didn't know
6:19
Speaker 2: that was an act. Did y'all watch Bizarre on Showtime?
6:22
Speaker 2: I did not. But I used to see Super Dave
6:24
Speaker 2: Osborne when he was making the night show rounds, like
6:26
Speaker 2: when he was on Letterman. He and Letterman were hilarious together.
6:29
Speaker 3: He was great on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
6:32
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Was Bizarre the mock, the sort of mockumentary
6:37
Speaker 2: of late night talk where... Super Dave was on that show.
6:40
Speaker 3: No, that was the Larry Sanders show. Bazaar was just
6:43
Speaker 3: basically a sketch comedy show. They did a bunch of.
6:46
Speaker 2: I think I did. I mean, he was like, get
6:48
Speaker 2: shot out of a rocket. Yeah, but it was always
6:50
Speaker 2: an obvious stuffed dummy. I mean, it was so obvious. Yeah,
6:55
Speaker 2: I did watch that. I never knew the name of it.
6:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's Todd Monken sounds just like him.
6:59
Speaker 2: I was waiting for Red Shoes Diaries that always came
7:02
Speaker 2: on after.
7:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure you were. Let's get this over with.
7:05
Speaker 2: Let's get situated early so we don't miss anything. All right,
7:08
Speaker 2: or Tales for the Crypt. One of those was on
7:10
Speaker 2: after it, I can guarantee you. I guess Tales was
7:13
Speaker 2: on HBO, wasn't it?

8:16
Speaker 2: Browns the winner last night?
8:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're really heating up in the NFL. We've
8:20
Speaker 3: won six of our last seven NFL plays. So, yeah,
8:24
Speaker 3: we had the Browns plus two and a half last night.
8:26
Speaker 2: Before we move away from the NFL here, this weekend's slate,
8:30
Speaker 2: is there a game or two that pops for either
8:33
Speaker 2: one of you that– our must-watch games this weekend, turning
8:36
Speaker 2: point watershed games in the NFL.
8:38
Speaker 3: I hate to make it about my Rams. What? But
8:42
Speaker 3: Puka will be playing Sunday in Philadelphia. Much needed. It's
8:45
Speaker 3: a big game. I was so excited about it. I
8:47
Speaker 3: checked direct flights.
8:50
Speaker 2: You're not going to Philadelphia? You can't be an opposing
8:54
Speaker 2: fan in that stadium. Have you seen those videos? I
8:56
Speaker 2: would not roll the dice. That may not be all
8:59
Speaker 2: that rolls.
9:00
Speaker 3: Looking for a fight. 6 a.m., But a direct flight
9:03
Speaker 3: is over $ 1, 000 to Philadelphia.
9:06
Speaker 2: Just leading the game?
9:07
Speaker 3: That's just ridiculous. They have to pull that thing up
9:09
Speaker 3: to the pump and fill it up before you fly.
9:11
Speaker 3: I know. And gas prices are pretty high right now.
9:13
Speaker 2: They're a touch high.
9:15
Speaker 3: Europe's got it figured out.
9:17
Speaker 2: How do they do it?
9:17
Speaker 3: Oh, trains? No, I mean, you can fly anywhere in
9:20
Speaker 3: Europe for basically $ 100. Not right now, but I bet
9:23
Speaker 3: it's $ 150. I guarantee it's not close to $ 1, 000.
9:26
Speaker 2: So you were thinking about flying to Philadelphia.
9:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was going to. Tickets are $ 400.
9:31
Speaker 2: These videos pop up everywhere, but the way they treat
9:34
Speaker 2: opposing fans in that stadium... I cannot imagine.
9:38
Speaker 3: I've only gotten lip from Saints fans and Jets fans.
9:42
Speaker 2: That is child's play compared to what the Eagles fans do.
9:45
Speaker 2: Child's play. I've just seen videos of it.
9:48
Speaker 3: It's awful.
9:49
Speaker 1: Broncos 49ers. Interesting game with the 49ers health.
9:54
Speaker 3: They're at home.
9:55
Speaker 1: Broncos coming off of their big win.
9:58
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, same for Timberwolves. going to finally see
10:01
Speaker 3: what looks to be an elite defense. I mean, the
10:03
Speaker 3: Rams held them in check for the first half of
10:06
Speaker 3: that game over in Australia.
10:08
Speaker 6: Yeah.
10:08
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's going to be a test for San Francisco,
10:10
Speaker 3: especially health-wise where they are. Trent Williams will be back,
10:13
Speaker 3: so that's good news for 49ers fans.
10:15
Speaker 2: I mean, a game I didn't know would matter this
10:17
Speaker 2: early in the season, but Chiefs at Raiders, and it's
10:19
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas now. There'll be more Chiefs fans there
10:22
Speaker 2: than Raiders fans, so... It's not as if the Chiefs
10:24
Speaker 2: are having to go to a hostile environment.
10:26
Speaker 3: But that number's only four and a half.
10:27
Speaker 2: I know. I was about to say that.
10:28
Speaker 3: Only four and a half.
10:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, it is at least a road game.
10:31
Speaker 2: I know it's not going to be hostile because, again,
10:33
Speaker 2: you'll have probably more Chiefs fans than Raiders fans there.
10:36
Speaker 3: Much like the Browns, the Raiders are definitely improved under
10:38
Speaker 3: Clint Kubiak, but I don't know how good they are.
10:41
Speaker 3: I find it hard to believe in December we'll be
10:43
Speaker 3: talking about the Las Vegas Raiders.
10:46
Speaker 1: Sunday night, the total is only 50 and a half,
10:49
Speaker 1: but Lions and Panthers, that seems like an easy over
10:53
Speaker 1: for me. I don't want to put the choir robe
10:55
Speaker 1: on here, but the Panthers seems like they can score,
10:59
Speaker 1: and they have a really hard time of stopping people
11:01
Speaker 1: right now, and the Lions have a lot of weapons.
11:03
Speaker 3: I think that's the only— there' s one other total in the 50s,
11:06
Speaker 3: and that is Jacksonville and Cincinnati, 51-and-a-half. So, yeah, they're
11:10
Speaker 3: expecting points in Carolina.
11:12
Speaker 1: And then Monday night, this is why Joe Buck and
11:15
Speaker 1: Troy Aikman get the big bucks. Atlanta and New Orleans,
11:18
Speaker 1: down in New Orleans, two one-and-two teams on Monday night football.
11:21
Speaker 2: Well, they've had some crap games the last two weeks, too,
11:23
Speaker 2: on Monday night football.
11:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the winner of that is going to be
11:27
Speaker 3: in good position in the NFC South. The other one
11:30
Speaker 3: I would bring up, just because they won the division
11:33
Speaker 3: last year and they're struggling right now, the New England
11:35
Speaker 3: Patriots in Buffalo, I could see Buffalo, if they get
11:38
Speaker 3: an opportunity, really try to make a statement.
11:39
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think there are two teams. If
11:42
Speaker 2: they lose, and I think you might have predicted both
11:45
Speaker 2: of these, if they lose Sunday... you could start to
11:48
Speaker 2: say there's really no path to the playoffs for them.
11:50
Speaker 2: One is definitely the Chargers. At 0-4, I don't see
11:53
Speaker 2: how you make a path to the playoffs. It was
11:55
Speaker 2: Broncos and Patriots. Broncos and Patriots. But the Patriots are
11:58
Speaker 2: the other ones. If they lose Sunday.
12:01
Speaker 2: I mean, you do have to start saying, is there
12:03
Speaker 2: a clear path to them recovering and making the playoffs?
12:05
Speaker 1: And either the Cowboys are going to be 1-3 or
12:07
Speaker 1: the Texans are going to be 0-4 because they play
12:10
Speaker 1: each other. Cowboys and Texans this weekend.
12:12
Speaker 2: So one of those teams is in that same group, too.
12:14
Speaker 2: I mean, at 1-3, it's hard to dig out of that.
12:17
Speaker 3: And that's what's so terrifying about a team like the
12:20
Speaker 3: Rams that was billed by guys like Colin Cowherd as
12:22
Speaker 3: going 17-0 in the regular season. If they start out
12:26
Speaker 3: at 1-3 and they've got Buffalo next week, that's a problem.
12:29
Speaker 2: Odds are stacked heavily against you at 1-3, but Chargers
12:31
Speaker 2: could be 0-4. That's good to the Texans.
12:33
Speaker 1: We'll get to the college football in just a second. Tyler,
12:39
Speaker 1: can you just give me, I think we've got some,
12:40
Speaker 1: do we have Braves locker room? I think we've got
12:42
Speaker 1: some of that. I don't know if we have any
12:43
Speaker 1: sound for us. Can you show me the celebration? Because
12:47
Speaker 1: the Braves last night, it started, it was really over
12:50
Speaker 1: with in the first inning. Here's the Braves. Right now,
12:53
Speaker 1: the Champagne Jam going on. Atlanta Rhythm Section, by the way.
12:56
Speaker 1: Atlanta Rhythm Section back in the 70s did the Champagne
12:59
Speaker 1: Jam song. They did that in the locker room last night,
13:03
Speaker 1: the celebration of them advancing out of the division series.
13:07
Speaker 1: And the Braves get Michael Harris, Atlanta area native, hitting
13:10
Speaker 1: a three-run homer in the first inning.
13:12
Speaker 3: And then it was.
13:14
Speaker 1: let the pitchers do their thing, and they end up
13:16
Speaker 1: winning the game.
13:17
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, from Ray Kerr to Garrett
13:19
Speaker 3: Holmes to bringing in Chris Sell for the four-out relief
13:23
Speaker 3: appearance on one-day rest, the pitching was outstanding for the Braves. Yeah,
13:27
Speaker 3: it was.
13:28
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've– I was not watching at
13:30
Speaker 2: the time, but I think Joey Votto is the commentator
13:32
Speaker 2: on NBC. And right before that last home run, he's like,
13:36
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, the Phillies, if they could get
13:38
Speaker 2: out of this, I don't think the Braves are going
13:39
Speaker 2: to score another run in this game.
13:40
Speaker 3: Crack! There you go. Very timely.
13:43
Speaker 1: I was wondering. The reverse of Nelser's jinx, basically. I
13:46
Speaker 1: didn't get to see what had started that, but on
13:50
Speaker 1: my social media, I was like, Why is everybody on
13:53
Speaker 1: Votto right now?
13:55
Speaker 2: I wasn't watching. I've just seen it on replay on
13:56
Speaker 2: social media. But it is pretty funny. I don't think
14:00
Speaker 2: the Braves are going to score another run here if
14:01
Speaker 2: the Phillies can scratch back in this thing.
14:03
Speaker 1: So in all seriousness, how much will baseball, like my
14:06
Speaker 1: team is playing on Saturday and it will not, only
14:11
Speaker 1: because of how bad the Saturday night slate, it'll make
14:14
Speaker 1: one of my quad boxes. It may make a main
14:16
Speaker 1: TV because Saturday night slate is pretty bad in prime time.
14:20
Speaker 1: Miami and Clemson. BYU, TCU, Texas Tech, Colorado, Washington, USC.
14:26
Speaker 1: There's not a good SEC game. Arkansas and A & M,
14:29
Speaker 1: Indiana Rutgers. It is a rough late slate. So luckily
14:33
Speaker 1: I can. My game's in prime time. I can put
14:36
Speaker 1: the Yankees and Rays on one of my mains.
14:38
Speaker 3: This will be maybe the first fall that the Dodgers
14:40
Speaker 3: don't make a TV.
14:41
Speaker 7: I mean.
14:44
Speaker 3: It's gotten.
14:44
Speaker 2: Kind of boring. See, the problem is you all play
14:47
Speaker 2: the day game Saturday. If it were a primetime game,
14:49
Speaker 2: you could justify it. But, I mean, right now, is
14:51
Speaker 2: it going to be in front of Ohio State, Iowa? No.
14:54
Speaker 3: Is it going to be in front of Auburn, Tennessee?
14:56
Speaker 4: No.
14:56
Speaker 2: Florida, Missouri? No.
14:57
Speaker 3: Kentucky, South Carolina?
14:59
Speaker 6: No.
14:59
Speaker 3: Well, I might have a play on that game. Yeah,
15:01
Speaker 3: so that's definitely a no. But I might be able
15:04
Speaker 3: to find a split screen for it. Louisville, NC State.
15:08
Speaker 3: I think I've got a play on that one. That's
15:09
Speaker 3: an entertaining game.
15:10
Speaker 4: Yep. Yep.
15:12
Speaker 2: And really, in terms of, I mean, for Louisville, they
15:15
Speaker 2: cannot afford to take on that second ACC loss. I mean,
15:17
Speaker 2: with Wake beating them last week, for Louisville, that is... Yeah,
15:21
Speaker 2: and this is where I kind of... You're going to
15:22
Speaker 2: play the ACC championship.
15:23
Speaker 3: I kind of saw Louisville's loss coming here, but because
15:25
Speaker 3: they lost last week to Wake, I don't know if
15:28
Speaker 3: they're going to lose back-to-backs, but I do agree it'll
15:29
Speaker 3: be an entertaining game.
15:31
Speaker 2: Wyoming, North Dakota State on the CW in the afternoon
15:34
Speaker 2: window as well. I feel like you've got to play
15:36
Speaker 2: in that one.
15:37
Speaker 3: I don't. I lean North Dakota State. It's a really,
15:41
Speaker 3: really good team, and they're going to play all year
15:43
Speaker 3: long because they're not going to get the bump that
15:47
Speaker 3: Boise gets with that brand.
15:48
Speaker 2: Style points?
15:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, they will play for style points.
15:50
Speaker 2: So you think they'll run it up anytime they can
15:52
Speaker 2: run it up.
15:52
Speaker 3: They'll have an opportunity against Wyoming. Listen, I'm actually excited
15:56
Speaker 3: that Alabama-Mississippi State's an 11 a.m.
15:59
Speaker 4: Game.
16:00
Speaker 2: That's exciting to me because there's not a lot of
16:03
Speaker 2: huge games tomorrow.
16:04
Speaker 3: But it's a big game, and this is going to
16:06
Speaker 3: sound crazy, and people won't believe this. But I used
16:09
Speaker 3: to absolutely love popping that first beer at like 10.30
16:12
Speaker 3: in the morning. I kind of like to wait until
16:14
Speaker 3: 2 or 2.30 now. But that's one of those games
16:16
Speaker 3: that's so big it's going to force me to figure
16:19
Speaker 3: out an adult beverage early on.
16:23
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if it's not 14 weeks in a row,
16:25
Speaker 2: I mean, let yourself enjoy it.
16:26
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not worried about that. I just, you know.
16:29
Speaker 3: Pretend you're watching the game in Ireland. It's a long
16:33
Speaker 3: day when you start at 11 o'clock. It is. It is.
16:37
Speaker 1: Especially because one of the more entertaining games of the
16:39
Speaker 1: day is late night on Fox, Cincinnati, and Arizona.
16:42
Speaker 3: I think that's going to be entertaining.
16:44
Speaker 2: I agree.
16:44
Speaker 3: I think the best game of the day outside of
16:48
Speaker 3: Alabama-Mississippi State is Florida-Missouri. Should be.
16:50
Speaker 1: Back-to-back on ABC, the SEC on ABC, but there's not.
16:55
Speaker 3: A ton of fabulous games tomorrow. But every time we
16:58
Speaker 3: do this. Oh, you're right. this is when the upsets happen.
17:02
Speaker 2: Every time we do this, this is where the upset
17:04
Speaker 2: comes out of nowhere and you're like, well, I didn't
17:06
Speaker 2: see that coming. That was a great game, but boy,
17:08
Speaker 2: I was not prepared for it.
17:09
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, TCU over BYU. On that 11 a.m.
17:12
Speaker 2: Window, you're sitting there going, God, North Carolina is going
17:15
Speaker 2: to the fourth quarter and it's a one possession.
17:17
Speaker 3: Game against Notre Dame.
17:18
Speaker 2: Or Miami slops around that Clemson and, you know, late
17:21
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, Clemson's got the ball with a chance to
17:23
Speaker 2: take the lead. I mean, these are the.
17:24
Speaker 1: 2.30, it's windy and rainy at Kinnick Field and Ohio
17:29
Speaker 1: State's only up 17-9. They've turned it over four times,
17:32
Speaker 1: and I was right in the game.
17:33
Speaker 3: The kids are still waving. Do you think we could
17:35
Speaker 3: figure out within a minute what Dabo's press conference postgame
17:39
Speaker 3: will look like if he wins?
17:40
Speaker 1: On the field with everybody, he will scream something of,
17:45
Speaker 1: poor little old Clemson. You guys wrote us off.
17:47
Speaker 3: Dead and buried. No, no, no. Here it is.
17:50
Speaker 2: If Clemson wins this game, which they're not going to,
17:53
Speaker 2: but if they do, he'll do the entire press conference
17:56
Speaker 2: staring at Chappell. Somebody will ask him a question over there. Coach,
17:59
Speaker 2: can you break down that last drive?
18:00
Speaker 6: Yeah.
18:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can break down that last drive. He won't say.
18:04
Speaker 3: He'll call him by name.
18:05
Speaker 2: Chapel.
18:06
Speaker 3: Chapel, you want to break?
18:06
Speaker 2: No, that's not what he'll do. Coach, can you break
18:08
Speaker 2: down the last drive? Well, why don't we let Chapel
18:09
Speaker 2: do it? Chapel knows football. Chapel knows football.
18:12
Speaker 3: He ought to stand.
18:13
Speaker 2: Barry Chapel, what did we do on that last drive? No,
18:15
Speaker 2: it would start like this. Opening, it would be like, hey.
18:18
Speaker 2: Good win for Clemson. That's about all I have to say.
18:20
Speaker 2: Let's open questions. Chappell, you go first.
18:23
Speaker 5: Hey, guys, I've actually got an update on the Chappell situation.
18:26
Speaker 3: Wait a minute.
18:27
Speaker 2: Don't tell me Chappell got laid off.
18:28
Speaker 3: No, no, no. Okay, good, because there's a lot of
18:30
Speaker 3: newspaper laying off. Did he get promoted?
18:32
Speaker 5: Dabo and Chappell are on good terms now because Chappell
18:35
Speaker 5: made the trip all the way out to Berkeley. So
18:38
Speaker 5: Dabo started his weekly presser this week by complimenting the
18:43
Speaker 5: media members who went all the way out to Berkeley.
18:45
Speaker 2: Did he call Chappell by name? He did.
18:47
Speaker 3: I'm going to assume Chapel went out there thinking what
18:49
Speaker 3: I thought, that Clemson was going to lose that game.
18:52
Speaker 7: He didn't say anything about the motive.
18:54
Speaker 3: He wanted to be the only guy in the room
18:56
Speaker 3: asking the questions.
18:58
Speaker 1: Chapel was already spending that YouTube and Facebook for the clicks,
19:01
Speaker 1: that check to go to Berkeley.
19:02
Speaker 2: Cal wins that game. He was going to walk in,
19:04
Speaker 2: Chapel's propped up with a cigar, just smoking.
19:06
Speaker 3: I mean, it's amazing. They've got a winning record. And
19:08
Speaker 3: the only way you can explain that is North Carolina
19:10
Speaker 3: is not good and Cal's not good, but They're averaging
19:13
Speaker 3: 21 points a game. That is the worst in the
19:16
Speaker 3: FBS for a team with a winning record.
19:17
Speaker 2: That's Clemson.
19:18
Speaker 3: That's Clemson.
19:19
Speaker 2: Not Oklahoma. No.
19:20
Speaker 3: They don't have a winning record. That's true. They don't
19:22
Speaker 3: have a winning record, yeah.
19:23
Speaker 1: We'll start breaking down all the college football games coming
19:26
Speaker 1: up in our next segment as we go. Todd Furman
19:28
Speaker 1: will join us from Vegas, hour number two, 11 Eastern,
19:32
Speaker 1: 10 Central. Headlines as well. We'll get to those probably
19:37
Speaker 1: in about 30 minutes here on the show. And then,
19:40
Speaker 1: of course, our pick three throughout the show at next.
19:42
Speaker 3: Round, Not at Next Round Live.
19:43

20:15
Speaker 1: social platform. When we come back, we start bouncing around
20:18
Speaker 1: college football. And guess what? We'll start in Starkville, Bama,
20:22
Speaker 1: and Mississippi State. One key player out of the game,
20:26
Speaker 1: it looks like. We'll tell you who it is next
20:29
Speaker 1: on the next round presented by Hard Rock Bet on
20:31
Speaker 1: Sporting State. Back with you on the next round presented
20:34
Speaker 1: by Hard Rock Bet on Sporting State. About to bounce
20:37
Speaker 1: around with all the college football that is going on.
20:40
Speaker 1: By the way, Braves now, you know, being a division champion,
20:44
Speaker 1: finally getting a night game.
20:45
Speaker 3: All they have to do is play the Dodgers.
20:47
Speaker 1: I know the Brewers record and everything, but it does
20:50
Speaker 1: feel like Braves-Dodgers, the best two teams in the National League.
20:54
Speaker 3: You can make a case for the Brewers, I guess. Yeah,
20:56
Speaker 3: I would say the Brewers for the length of the
20:59
Speaker 3: 162 better than the Braves. But to get a feeling
21:02
Speaker 3: the winner of this will be favored in that next series.
21:05
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, I don't understand how they do it in Major
21:08
Speaker 1: League Baseball. The best two American League teams are playing
21:10
Speaker 1: each other in Tampa tomorrow night. And the consolation series,
21:15
Speaker 1: White Sox-Guardians, start tomorrow as well, I believe.
21:18
Speaker 3: Right, Forrester?
21:20
Speaker 7: At noon. And it will have a TV at my house.
21:24
Speaker 1: So you get a straight out of game day, White
21:27
Speaker 1: Sox Guardians.
21:28
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I've got to get Sling for a day.
21:31
Speaker 3: Poor Scott.
21:33
Speaker 7: Because it's on, I think, TruTV.
21:36
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
21:37
Speaker 7: I believe.
21:38
Speaker 3: TruTV or HBO Max. Scotty, but it feels kind of
21:43
Speaker 3: like the Guardians year. I don't know why.
21:45
Speaker 2: Pssh.
21:45
Speaker 3: Pssh.
21:46
Speaker 2: Scott says.
21:48
Speaker 7: Get out.
21:50
Speaker 1: Hey, before we jump in game to game, let me
21:52
Speaker 1: tell you about our friends at Crockett Coffee. And then
21:54
Speaker 1: I want to ask a question about swapping coaches. This
21:57
Speaker 1: was in Stuart Mandel of the Athletics Mailbag this week.
22:02
Speaker 1: And I'm going to pose a question off of that
22:04
Speaker 1: after I remind you that if you are waking up
22:06
Speaker 1: in the morning and you enjoy coffee, but you're not
22:09
Speaker 1: maybe in love with your brand, maybe you're ready to
22:12
Speaker 1: try something fresher, new and made and roasted right here
22:16
Speaker 1: in America. That's our friends with Crockett Coffee, named after
22:20
Speaker 1: Davy Crockett, started by Clay Travis, Buck Sexton, Buck's brother Mason.
22:25
Speaker 1: It is roasted, small batch roasted, right here in America's heartland.
22:29
Speaker 1: It ships fresh roasted, never sitting in a warehouse for
22:32
Speaker 1: six months. You can get it however you like it, organic,
22:35
Speaker 1: mushroom blend, decaffeinated, dark, medium, light roasted. You can get
22:38
Speaker 1: it whole bean ground, however you want it.
22:40
Speaker 3: Set up a subscription.
22:41
Speaker 1: Comes every month on schedule or bi-weekly, every week, however.
22:45
Speaker 3: You want it.
22:46
Speaker 2: Ships free for orders that are over $ 59. And Crockett
22:50
Speaker 2: partners with Tunnel to Towers, building mortgage-free homes for the
22:54
Speaker 2: families of fallen service members and for those injured veterans
22:58
Speaker 2: and first responders. It's good coffee, made in America, doing
23:01
Speaker 2: some good. CrockettCoffee.com. CrockettCoffee.com. C-R-O-C-K-E-T-T. CrockettCoffee.com. The question was asked
23:12
Speaker 2: of Stuart. What if you took a coach... like John Summerall,
23:17
Speaker 2: and he was coaching Texas A & M, and if
23:20
Speaker 2: Mike Elko was coaching Florida with the same pieces you
23:24
Speaker 2: have right now on those teams, would the game, would
23:29
Speaker 2: those seasons look different right now?
23:31
Speaker 3: Well, the circumstances are so different, it's a little difficult
23:34
Speaker 3: because I think Summerall came in and whatever guys he
23:38
Speaker 3: had remaining, the guys like Jaden Ball, he told them
23:40
Speaker 3: how good they can be and how, you know, maybe
23:44
Speaker 3: how they weren't coached the right way. So I think
23:46
Speaker 3: it was like year one, hey, we can do something.
23:50
Speaker 3: On the other side, I think Elko's bunch, the guys
23:53
Speaker 3: that didn't go to the NFL, maybe they got fat
23:55
Speaker 3: and happy a little bit. So the circumstances are so different,
23:59
Speaker 3: it's hard to say.
24:00
Speaker 2: I'm about to play into the narrative that I have
24:02
Speaker 2: made fun of, but is Buster Faulkner at Texas A &
24:06
Speaker 2: M with John Summerall?
24:08
Speaker 3: I would imagine the coaching staff swap.
24:12
Speaker 2: So Faulkner, I'm going to assume Buster Faulkner, inventor of offense,
24:18
Speaker 2: could get more out of Marcel Reed than first-time play
24:20
Speaker 2: caller Holman Wiggins has. Now, I don't know who you
24:24
Speaker 2: guys think is the better of the two quarterbacks. Certainly
24:26
Speaker 2: Aaron Filo looks better this year than Marcel Reed, but
24:30
Speaker 2: If they were both getting the best coaching possible, do
24:32
Speaker 2: you think Philo's that much better than Marcel Reed? I
24:34
Speaker 2: wouldn't think so. I wouldn't think so either, so I
24:37
Speaker 2: would think Buster Faulkner's offense could probably get a little
24:39
Speaker 2: more out of him.
24:40
Speaker 1: Florida's offensive line is playing tremendous, but it felt like
24:44
Speaker 1: coming in that Texas A & M was a.
24:45
Speaker 2: Pretty good group, right?
24:46
Speaker 3: We're basically just saying who's the better coach. I think
24:49
Speaker 3: Summerall probably is, but I still think Elko's a really
24:52
Speaker 3: good coach.
24:52
Speaker 2: This gets brought up a lot in the chat when
24:55
Speaker 2: we talk about Texas A & M, so I'll bring
24:56
Speaker 2: it up here. When you talk about their offensive line,
24:59
Speaker 2: is Alabama's offensive line year over year better.
25:01
Speaker 3: Than Texas A & M' s?
25:03
Speaker 2: Or excuse me, is Alabama's line year over year better
25:05
Speaker 2: than their line last year?
25:08
Speaker 3: Would you say yes?
25:08
Speaker 4: Yes.
25:09
Speaker 3: Is Alabama's line better than Alabama's line last year?
25:12
Speaker 4: Yes.
25:12
Speaker 2: And a lot of people point out Wilkin Fornby is starting.
25:15
Speaker 2: He left Alabama's offensive line and is starting at Texas
25:17
Speaker 2: A & M. And Alabama's line has improved significantly. And
25:21
Speaker 2: A & M' s offense is not. Now, you cannot pin
25:23
Speaker 2: all that on Wilkin for me.
25:25
Speaker 3: No, not at all.
25:25
Speaker 2: But you do kind of question their offensive line with
25:28
Speaker 2: that being the case. Okay, let me do a couple
25:30
Speaker 2: of others. Let me go Steve Sarkeesian and Brent Venables.
25:35
Speaker 2: They play each other next week. But if Sark and
25:38
Speaker 2: his coaching staff, with the same pieces that are in Norman,
25:42
Speaker 2: if he was there and Venables with his same coaching staff,
25:46
Speaker 2: Arbuckle and those guys, were with Arch and Auston, would
25:51
Speaker 2: the outcomes be different than what we've seen so far?
25:55
Speaker 3: I don't know if they would be because the Texas
25:58
Speaker 3: offense is broken right now. Obviously, Oklahoma doesn't have an offense.
26:03
Speaker 3: The defenses are right there on par with each other.
26:06
Speaker 3: So you don't think Sark's play calling could make Mateer
26:08
Speaker 3: a little better?
26:09
Speaker 2: No, I mean, he can't even make Manning better.
26:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, right.
26:12
Speaker 2: I mean, is Arch Manning a better quarterback than John Mateer?
26:14
Speaker 2: I know you're down on Manning, but he's better than Mateer.
26:16
Speaker 2: He is better than Mateer. And you can't even get... Okay,
26:18
Speaker 2: so I was wondering if you thought Mateer was better
26:21
Speaker 2: than Arch.
26:21
Speaker 3: No, Arch is better.
26:23
Speaker 2: I mean, you can't even get high-level play out of
26:25
Speaker 2: Arch consistently.
26:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I've seen Arch at a high level in
26:28
Speaker 3: the SEC. I saw it last November. I really have
26:31
Speaker 3: never seen that from a tier. I saw it at
26:32
Speaker 3: a high level with Wazoo. But, you know, that's apples
26:35
Speaker 3: and oranges, really, when you think about it. I have
26:37
Speaker 3: one more.
26:37
Speaker 1: I would love to hear any from you guys if
26:39
Speaker 1: you have one. But what if Bob Chesney was coaching
26:44
Speaker 1: USC and his coaching staff and Lincoln Riley and his
26:48
Speaker 1: staff was at UCLA? Would it still be the same?
26:51
Speaker 1: Would it be any different?
26:52
Speaker 3: It would be different. The culture is broken right now
26:56
Speaker 3: at USC, I believe. And UCLA is more talented than
26:59
Speaker 3: we give them credit for. I mean, it is a
27:02
Speaker 3: night and day, I don't want to say roster, just
27:04
Speaker 3: the feel when you watch UCLA this year. But I
27:07
Speaker 3: think Bob Chesney can infuse that at USC, and they've
27:10
Speaker 3: got tremendous athletes. And they're just probably going to waste them.
27:15
Speaker 3: I meant to play USC in my pick three, and
27:17
Speaker 3: I didn't play them.
27:18
Speaker 2: Well, we hadn't.
27:19
Speaker 3: You haven't even done the segment yet. Yeah, I know.
27:20
Speaker 3: I've really, I've drawn my thing. You got an eraser.
27:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, race it and go USC if you feel that
27:26
Speaker 2: strongly about it. And how have your last minute cuts been?
27:29
Speaker 2: I haven't done any last minute cuts on the pick three.
27:31
Speaker 2: So you just find three and go with them. I've
27:33
Speaker 2: sucked on the pick three. But I'd like USC to
27:37
Speaker 2: bounce back this weekend. Well, I mean, it's a good
27:39
Speaker 2: bounce back spot against Washington. Washington is not a good
27:42
Speaker 2: team this year.
27:43
Speaker 1: Because everybody has thrown them under the bus and.
27:47
Speaker 3: USC.
27:47
Speaker 1: They've thrown him under the bus. They've written him off
27:49
Speaker 1: for dead. And I mean, that was a really good
27:52
Speaker 1: Oregon team. They lost two. And I know it was
27:55
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback and that added two. But a lot
27:59
Speaker 1: of the arrows that have been thrown at USC this week,
28:02
Speaker 1: I think, has all been off of that hit on
28:05
Speaker 1: the quarterback and the reaction of the team and the
28:08
Speaker 1: fact that a backup quarterback came in and beat you.
28:11
Speaker 1: That's a Good Oregon team that beat, I think, a
28:14
Speaker 1: good USC team. And I'm with you. I don't know
28:16
Speaker 1: what Washington is. I've watched them twice now.
28:19
Speaker 3: I've watched them.
28:20
Speaker 1: For some reason, they were on my TV against Utah State.
28:23
Speaker 1: And they were on my TV against Wazoo. And in
28:26
Speaker 1: both of those games, they struggled to beat those teams.
28:32
Speaker 1: And then they lost last week. They were on my TV, Minnesota, right?
28:35
Speaker 2: Yeah.
28:35
Speaker 3: They ran the ball 27 times for 40 yards. Yeah.
28:38
Speaker 3: Now I know some of this is factored in, but
28:41
Speaker 3: DeMond Williams was sacked seven times. I mean, the offensive
28:44
Speaker 3: line's playing poorly. They can't run the football. Denzel Boston,
28:47
Speaker 3: you saw him last night. He leads all rookies right now,
28:51
Speaker 3: receivers in the NFL for the Browns with receiving yards
28:54
Speaker 3: and touchdowns. So they're missing him too. I just, I
28:58
Speaker 3: can't believe they've fallen off as much as they have.
28:59
Speaker 3: So This is a get-right spot for USC, but on
29:02
Speaker 3: the other side, if I'm Washington, I believe I can
29:05
Speaker 3: get right against this defense. I mean, you think about
29:07
Speaker 3: the last three games out, 35-35 and 41, this defense
29:10
Speaker 3: has given up. You can't win games like that. I
29:12
Speaker 3: am going to change it. I'm going to lose one
29:14
Speaker 3: of my teams. I'm taking USC. I'm all in on them.
29:16
Speaker 3: I'm all in on USC. Just dove right in. I
29:19
Speaker 3: hope you're right.
29:20
Speaker 2: DeMond Williams, though, is still throwing for 282 a game,
29:23
Speaker 2: seven touchdowns, three picks. I mean, for those that may
29:26
Speaker 2: not remember, he is the guy. that almost ended up
29:29
Speaker 2: at LSU, right? I mean, that was the guy that
29:31
Speaker 2: when it looked like he was willing to leave Washington,
29:34
Speaker 2: there were many that thought Sam Leavitt was about to
29:36
Speaker 2: get left out in the cold while he was sitting
29:38
Speaker 2: courtside at a LSU basket. game.
29:40
Speaker 3: I think DeMond Williams is good. I really do. I
29:42
Speaker 3: do too.
29:43
Speaker 1: I'm just making the point that Washington's... Two brutal interceptions
29:46
Speaker 1: against Minnesota last week.
29:48
Speaker 2: He's only thrown three all year. Those are two of
29:51
Speaker 2: his three. You're right. They were bad. I don't think
29:54
Speaker 2: he's played awful. Again, 282 a game is not bad.
29:58
Speaker 1: Let's talk a little Alabama-Mississippi State here as we get
30:01
Speaker 1: ready for that game.
30:02
Speaker 3: Brown, check that forecast for us. Oh, I got an update.
30:05
Speaker 1: Okay, give me the update after. Tyler, if you would, man,
30:09
Speaker 1: give me cut number four from Ryan Grubb, Alabama's offensive coordinator.
30:15
Speaker 1: He gets asked what the reaction is when they're watching
30:19
Speaker 1: film and the tight end blows up a defender. The
30:22
Speaker 1: Alabama tight end room is becoming such an asset. Three
30:25
Speaker 1: guys who can not only catch the football, but they
30:29
Speaker 1: become a very important part in the blocking game. Here's
30:32
Speaker 1: the Alabama offensive coordinator.
30:35
Speaker 5: When you guys are watching film, just what's the reaction
30:38
Speaker 5: like from guys when you watch a clip of a
30:40
Speaker 5: tight end just like demolishing an opposing player?
30:42
Speaker 2: How do the guys respond?
30:43
Speaker 6: They go crazy.
30:44
Speaker 3: They go crazy.
30:45
Speaker 6: I think that that's, again, that's an energy that that
30:48
Speaker 6: room has brought to the offense. I think you always
30:51
Speaker 6: want that from your offensive line and things like that,
30:53
Speaker 6: but just as a group, That's been all the way
30:56
Speaker 6: back to spring ball, how they practice and how they
30:59
Speaker 6: fit people. That energy when they feel that on the
31:02
Speaker 6: field and they actually can go finish a guy off
31:04
Speaker 6: is something that really gets the guys revved up.
31:08
Speaker 1: Don't you have a feeling, and this is just the
31:11
Speaker 1: way it works in sports sometimes, that there's so much
31:14
Speaker 1: being made about Camario versus Keelan that somehow the run game,
31:19
Speaker 1: whether it's Alabama's or fluff for Mississippi State, that somehow
31:22
Speaker 1: the run game is going to end up playing a
31:25
Speaker 1: major part of this game. That fluff is going to
31:29
Speaker 1: have 110 yards, and if Mississippi State wins the game,
31:33
Speaker 1: or Alabama's Daniel Hill or Crowell is going to have
31:37
Speaker 1: a big game with a couple of big runs that
31:40
Speaker 1: flips it for Alabama. That's not going to be the
31:41
Speaker 1: two great quarterbacks. It's going to somehow be the run game.
31:44
Speaker 3: Well, I think that's one of the reasons that State
31:46
Speaker 3: has had a lot of success is because they have
31:48
Speaker 3: effectively run the football. I mean, they're converting 51% of
31:51
Speaker 3: their third downs, which... is the best mark right now
31:54
Speaker 3: in the SEC because a lot of this has been
31:56
Speaker 3: third manageable. So I think fluff is a big part
31:59
Speaker 3: of that. I do think both these quarterbacks are going
32:03
Speaker 3: to play really well tomorrow. But I need to hear
32:05
Speaker 3: my weather update.
32:05
Speaker 2: Okay, you ready? Ready for the weather? Let's go to
32:08
Speaker 2: the weather.
32:09
Speaker 3: I was going to say last night I thought good news,
32:12
Speaker 3: so go ahead.
32:13
Speaker 2: James Spann, for those that are watching outside of Birmingham,
32:17
Speaker 2: James Spann is a local meteorologist who every week does
32:21
Speaker 2: a football forecast on social media. So it's very helpful, actually.
32:24
Speaker 2: If you're going to the games, he does all the
32:26
Speaker 2: local games. And oftentimes the Alabama coaching staff. Yeah, he
32:31
Speaker 2: works with Alabama. In fact, now he was very, very,
32:34
Speaker 2: very eager to point out he has nothing to do
32:37
Speaker 2: with the decisional lightning delays. He was like, that is
32:39
Speaker 2: completely out of my jurisdiction. All I do is Give
32:42
Speaker 2: them weather forecast. I do not have anything to do
32:45
Speaker 2: with lightning delays. In fact, he was a little bit
32:48
Speaker 2: critical of that second lightning delay, somewhat like Danny Connell was,
32:51
Speaker 2: of that second lightning delay in the Alabama-Florida State game.
32:57
Speaker 3: Here's what he says.
32:57
Speaker 2: Alabama travels to Starkville to take on Mississippi State tomorrow.
33:01
Speaker 2: This is three hours ago, so this morning. Updated forecast.
33:05
Speaker 2: A shower is certainly possible, but much of the game
33:08
Speaker 2: should be rain-free temps in the 80s.
33:09
Speaker 3: Yep.
33:11
Speaker 2: Same for Auburn, by the way, in case you're curious.
33:14
Speaker 2: Auburn and Knoxville, same exact forecast. They shower as possible,
33:17
Speaker 2: but much of the game rain free. And that's good news.
33:21
Speaker 2: I was told if it's going to happen, it would
33:23
Speaker 2: be in the fourth quarter. Oh, boy, that's not what
33:26
Speaker 2: you want. Tight game late and starts to rain. That's
33:29
Speaker 2: going to change things.
33:30
Speaker 3: But we'll see.
33:30
Speaker 1: We'll see if rain impacts the game at all. Fluff Bothwell,
33:34
Speaker 1: by the way. Not just a runner, 122 last week
33:38
Speaker 1: in that big win over Missouri, but he caught six
33:40
Speaker 1: balls for 55, including a receiving touchdown. So a pretty
33:44
Speaker 1: good effort there. First person for Mississippi State since, excuse me,
33:49
Speaker 1: the sixth person since 1995, but that's a long time ago,
33:52
Speaker 1: to have over 120 rushing, over 50 receiving in the
33:57
Speaker 1: same contest for Mississippi State, Alabama. Here's Jeff Levy on
34:01
Speaker 1: getting ready for the other half of this huge showdown
34:04
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks.
34:05
Speaker 3: Talking about Keelan Russell.
34:07
Speaker 6: Keelan Russell's another young quarterback who's starting to come to
34:10
Speaker 6: his own.
34:11
Speaker 2: What's it going to take for this defense to prevent
34:13
Speaker 2: him from getting comfortable this weekend? Yeah, we are.
34:15
Speaker 4: We're going to have to move him off the spot.
34:16
Speaker 4: We're going to have to do a great job tackling.
34:18
Speaker 4: That's going to be a huge piece of it. And
34:21
Speaker 4: he has. He's played really, really well. He's been incredibly productive.
34:25
Speaker 4: There's been explosive plays. He's got great talent around him.
34:29
Speaker 4: And so for us, it is, man. It's going to
34:31
Speaker 4: be about applying pressure. getting our fans really involved and
34:35
Speaker 4: excited about what's going on in between those white lines.
34:38
Speaker 3: If Tim Tebow had an uncle that didn't have his
34:41
Speaker 3: same gym membership, can you see it a little bit?
34:43
Speaker 2: Well, him standing in right here, you think he's coaching
34:46
Speaker 2: Mississippi State baseball?
34:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looks like a coach. If you say, what's
34:51
Speaker 3: this guy do for the coach? Yeah, I don't know.
34:54
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a likable guy, and he really hadn't
34:57
Speaker 3: done much, but they seem to have turned the corner.
34:59
Speaker 2: This will change everything for him. A win Saturday. You
35:02
Speaker 2: heard it with Matt Wyatt yesterday. If you missed that
35:04
Speaker 2: interview on the back half of our show yesterday, go
35:07
Speaker 2: watch it on demand on YouTube at Next Round Live.
35:11
Speaker 2: Matt basically was like, this would not just be a win.
35:15
Speaker 2: You're beating Bama. I mean, that carries weight in Starkville. Well,
35:18
Speaker 2: you think about their history.
35:19
Speaker 3: They faced, and I just saw this, they faced his
35:22
Speaker 3: rank versus rank 14 times. Do you know what the
35:25
Speaker 3: record is for Alabama? All right, ranked versus ranked. When
35:28
Speaker 3: both of them are ranked? Yeah, when both are ranked.
35:30
Speaker 3: When State and Bama are both ranked? I think it's 14-0.
35:33
Speaker 3: It's 14-0.
35:34
Speaker 2: So they've never beat Bama as a ranked team?
35:36
Speaker 3: No, never. Well, when Bama and Mississippi State... No, I'm saying.
35:39
Speaker 2: State as a ranked team has never beaten Bama.
35:41
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were times... When they're both ranked.
35:42
Speaker 1: There were times when Jackie Shirell was there that State
35:45
Speaker 1: was ranked and Bama was not.
35:46
Speaker 2: When they're both ranked, State has never won. That's pretty crazy.
35:49
Speaker 1: The time they thought in 2014, which may be the
35:53
Speaker 1: last time they were both ranked, but in 2014 when
35:56
Speaker 1: Dak brought them to Tuscaloosa. That's when they thought it
36:00
Speaker 1: was their time to play for a national championship. That
36:04
Speaker 1: was going to be their last bump in the road
36:06
Speaker 1: to make it to the playoffs, it appeared.
36:07
Speaker 3: I still think Mississippi State, I lean that they're going
36:10
Speaker 3: to win this game. Not cover, but win outright. But man,
36:17
Speaker 3: the 11 o'clock. It's a very scary game for Alabama.
36:21
Speaker 2: So if this game were at 2.30, it'd be a
36:23
Speaker 2: big play for you.
36:24
Speaker 3: I would feel much, much better about this. But again,
36:27
Speaker 3: DeBoer 16-5 against ranked teams, that's always scary. It just
36:31
Speaker 3: feels like this Mississippi State team is a different team
36:33
Speaker 3: this year altogether. And I do think one streak is
36:36
Speaker 3: coming to an end. Alabama's won 16 against them. I
36:40
Speaker 3: don't know if that continues, but these streaks that we're
36:42
Speaker 3: seeing in the SEC, like what was Alabama's win streak
36:45
Speaker 3: against Tennessee before they lost it in 2023? 13, 14, 15?
36:50
Speaker 1: So 17 years, they won 15 streaks.
36:53
Speaker 2: 15, yeah.
36:53
Speaker 3: You're not going to see these. I don't care. Georgia
36:56
Speaker 3: versus Vanderbilt. In NIL and Transfer Portal, these streaks can't
37:01
Speaker 3: continue like that. I mean, 16 straight against Mississippi State
37:04
Speaker 3: is crazy.
37:05
Speaker 2: It is pretty crazy. And I was thinking that yesterday
37:07
Speaker 2: when we were looking at win streaks, just ongoing win
37:10
Speaker 2: streaks with Indiana's up at 20 now. Like, I just–
37:14
Speaker 2: Indiana has done it in this era, so it's kind
37:15
Speaker 2: of hard to say this, but I just don't know
37:17
Speaker 2: how many teams are ever going to get to 20 anymore.
37:18
Speaker 3: That'll be 21 tomorrow.
37:19
Speaker 2: 22 is the longest win streak in this series between
37:22
Speaker 2: Alabama from 1958 through 1979. Again, that's what Wyatt said.
37:26
Speaker 2: I asked him the question. I asked Matt the question.
37:28
Speaker 2: I mean, wouldn't you guys just assume– all right, state fans–
37:32
Speaker 2: Who's your biggest rival? Ole Miss. All right, state fans,
37:34
Speaker 2: who's your second biggest rival? And he made the point,
37:38
Speaker 2: it's kind of like what you say about Bedlam. Just
37:40
Speaker 2: because they play every year doesn't make it a rivalry.
37:42
Speaker 2: Bedlam was not a rivalry because Oklahoma State never won it.
37:45
Speaker 2: So it's hard to call Bama and Mississippi State a rivalry.
37:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I would have thought LSU was kind of
37:50
Speaker 3: a rival with Mississippi State, but they always dominated them.
37:52
Speaker 2: I know, but I would say if you polled state fans,
37:54
Speaker 2: who do you most want to beat when this was
37:56
Speaker 2: an annual game? Ole Miss won, Alabama too. I think
37:59
Speaker 2: Bama comes in two for most of your state fans.
38:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, one, two, but I, you know.
38:02
Speaker 2: But they never did, so it's hard to call it
38:04
Speaker 2: a rivalry.
38:05
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, but you get what I'm saying though, right?
38:09
Speaker 2: Like if you, if you base the rivalry on who
38:11
Speaker 2: the fan base most wants to beat, it would be
38:13
Speaker 2: Ole Miss one, Bama two.
38:15
Speaker 1: Well, not everything is as clear-cut as Auburn. You have
38:18
Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama. Alabama's got Auburn and Tennessee.
38:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, some of those are very clear-cut. Like
38:22
Speaker 2: LSU's is not particularly clear-cut.
38:24
Speaker 3: No, I mean, LSU and Ole Miss is.
38:26
Speaker 2: It's more now than it ever has been. Yeah, but
38:29
Speaker 2: it has a name. And after that, for me, most
38:32
Speaker 2: of my career, it's been.
38:36
Speaker 3: LSU, Alabama, LSU, Florida.
38:38
Speaker 2: For the last 15 to 20 years, LSU fans have
38:40
Speaker 2: wanted to beat Alabama more than any team on their schedule.
38:43
Speaker 2: I mean, there's no doubt Alabama was their biggest rival
38:45
Speaker 2: over the last 15 years.
38:47
Speaker 3: You guys agree that DeBoer year one to year two,
38:50
Speaker 3: year two was better.
38:52
Speaker 4: Yeah.
38:53
Speaker 3: Year three now, this would be his first ever 5-0
38:56
Speaker 3: start at Alabama. If he gets the win. Yeah, if
39:00
Speaker 3: they get the win tomorrow. I'm just saying this thing
39:01
Speaker 3: is trending in the right direction with a win for
39:03
Speaker 3: Alabama for year three to be even better than year two.
39:06
Speaker 3: And this team, at least early in September, looks better
39:10
Speaker 3: than the team last year.
39:10
Speaker 1: Everybody in the country is just, when they mention Alabama now,
39:15
Speaker 1: they're in everybody's playoff, and they're all like, man, this
39:18
Speaker 1: Alabama team looks really good. This Alabama team looks real.
39:21
Speaker 1: This Alabama team looks the part. That's what the nation
39:24
Speaker 1: is saying.
39:24
Speaker 3: That's what the whole.
39:25
Speaker 1: Nation is saying. They were not saying that. Alabama was
39:27
Speaker 1: never mentioned in the offseason. So they've been impressed. through
39:30
Speaker 1: four weeks. We'll see what they do in game five.
39:32
Speaker 1: Maybe we get a prediction when we do our way-too-early
39:36
Speaker 1: headlines in our next segment when we come back on
39:39
Speaker 1: the next round presented by Hard Rock Bets here on
39:41

39:52
Speaker 2: are one of our favorite things to do here on

Speaker 2: Friday where we try to project what's going to happen

40:01
Speaker 1: In the old days, there used to be these things
40:02
Speaker 1: called newspapers.
40:03
Speaker 3: You'd open them up. They had cool headlines and some pictures.
40:05
Speaker 1: We'll get to that right after LT tells us about
40:08
Speaker 1: Clay Travis Law.
40:10
Speaker 3: Hey, accidents do not wait for a good time. That's
40:13
Speaker 3: why our friend Clay Travis started at Clay Travis Law,
40:16

40:54
Speaker 1: Tomorrow's headlines today. Let's start with mine, Tyler, if you
40:58
Speaker 1: are forced or whoever punches that up. We'll go to
41:01
Speaker 1: the college football inquire today. Senate confused Sooners offense, not
41:07
Speaker 1: at Hawks game. Katie Britt wasn't even involved and she
41:12
Speaker 1: ends up wearing it.
41:13
Speaker 2: In a stunning show of bipartisan confusion, the Senate was
41:16
Speaker 2: left scratching its head this week after reports surfaced that
41:19
Speaker 2: the Sooners offense was nowhere to be found at the
41:22
Speaker 2: Hawks game.
41:22
Speaker 1: If you know the headlines. Senators from both sides of
41:25
Speaker 1: the aisle questioned how a high-powered offense could go missing
41:28
Speaker 1: during such a highly anticipated matchup, with one lawmaker joking, quote,
41:33
Speaker 1: I thought they were supposed to show up, not disappear.
41:36
Speaker 3: The AI wrote that. I just give it the headline.
41:39
Speaker 3: AI just writes that out off of the picture. It's
41:41
Speaker 3: pretty well written. It really is.
41:42
Speaker 2: Do we even need newspaper writers anymore? Do we even
41:44
Speaker 2: need those anymore?
41:45
Speaker 3: You gave away your secret sauce.
41:47
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I give them the headlines, and then
41:50
Speaker 1: it writes this. I didn't even know it wrote this.
41:51
Speaker 1: It just pops up.
41:52
Speaker 3: It's learning what we're doing here, I think. Yeah, and
41:55
Speaker 3: then some.
41:57
Speaker 2: Soon it'll be draining your bank account.
41:59
Speaker 1: More Auburn leaks. This time it's the freeze-era recruiting plan.
42:04
Speaker 3: All golf.
42:05
Speaker 2: Grand National tee times, Pinehurst tee times, Sweetens Cove Golf
42:09
Speaker 2: Club tee times.
42:10
Speaker 3: Is Grand National the cradle of American golf?
42:13
Speaker 2: I've never really heard it called that. Cradle, that's Pinehurst. Yeah,
42:17
Speaker 2: I just couldn't squeeze them all into one picture there.
42:20
Speaker 1: Here's what the AI wrote about this. More leaked documents
42:23
Speaker 1: have surfaced, and this time it's a recruiting plan strategy
42:26
Speaker 1: from the freeze era. Sources say the plan includes outdated strategy,
42:30
Speaker 1: a heavy focus on relationships, and a bizarre section on
42:34
Speaker 1: boiled peanuts equal commitments. Insider claims the leak has already
42:38
Speaker 1: caused a stir on the planes, with one recruit saying...
42:41
Speaker 1: I don't even know what a freeze is.
42:43
Speaker 3: Why would boiled peanuts make it into the AI right now?
42:46
Speaker 3: I don't know. It was crazy. I thought it was creative.
42:47
Speaker 2: Y'all like boiled peanuts? They're okay.
42:50
Speaker 3: A little mushy. I haven't had them in a while. Yeah,
42:52
Speaker 3: it's a.
42:52
Speaker 1: Texture thing for me. Really, all you're in for is
42:55
Speaker 1: the salt water.
42:56
Speaker 2: Pretty much, yeah. Or the Cajun spice if you get
42:58
Speaker 2: Cajun boiled peanuts.
42:59
Speaker 3: So not for me.
43:00
Speaker 1: And finally, Saban flag for delay of sandwich. Former Alabama
43:04
Speaker 1: head coach Nick Saban. This is the best written one,
43:06
Speaker 1: by the way. Former Alabama head coach Nick Saban is
43:09
Speaker 1: under investigation after being flagged for a delay of a sandwich,
43:13
Speaker 1: according to campus officials. Witnesses say Saban was seen in
43:17
Speaker 1: the team kitchen taking too long to prepare his lunch,
43:21
Speaker 1: causing a 17-minute delay in the expected meal schedule. The
43:24
Speaker 1: NCAA is reportedly reviewing the incident, which could lead to
43:28
Speaker 1: further scrutiny of Saban's post-coaching activities.
43:31
Speaker 3: That order gets there too quick for him, too. That
43:33
Speaker 3: was a little too quick. That was a little too quick.
43:36
Speaker 1: But that staring at that tomato lasts forever long.
43:39
Speaker 3: It's owned you all season. It really has.
43:43
Speaker 7: It has.
43:43
Speaker 1: I went back and watched the commercial last night. It
43:45
Speaker 1: does not seem as long in the online version as
43:48
Speaker 1: when I'm sitting there waiting for the game to come back.
43:49
Speaker 3: Wait, you pulled it online?
43:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to borrow that picture.
43:54
Speaker 3: Borrow. All right, Lance, give us your headlines. We are
43:59
Speaker 3: going to Columbia. Missouri. Well, this is actually the Gator Gazette. Oh, yeah. Thanks, Chapel,
44:06
Speaker 3: for making the road trip. Florida all in that ass
44:09
Speaker 3: as gators run wild and punish Mizzou. You could see
44:11
Speaker 3: that in Adelaide.
44:13
Speaker 2: Ball dog.
44:14
Speaker 3: That's what Floridians would throw out there, right? Get that
44:18
Speaker 3: T-shirt ready.
44:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
44:20
Speaker 3: I don't think this is going to happen, but it
44:21
Speaker 3: was a good headline. Yeah, I like the headline. So
44:24
Speaker 3: you don't think Florida will? I think much like Alabama
44:28
Speaker 3: is going to lose, I think Florida is going to lose.
44:30
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a top-seater every day
44:31
Speaker 3: in the SEC. Top-seater every day, yes. Wow, you got
44:35
Speaker 3: Alabama losing down to the bottom. Well, that's my headline.
44:40
Speaker 3: I like Tyler chiming in. He gets very creative. Go ahead, Tyler.
44:44
Speaker 1: Super Camario gets a one-up against Coach Kalen DeBowser.
44:49
Speaker 3: You know the Super Mario game. Well played.
44:51
Speaker 2: I like that.
44:53
Speaker 3: Damn, look at Eli. He's holding that ass, too.
44:57
Speaker 1: I got chat GPT to do this for me.
45:00
Speaker 2: It is a masterpiece.
45:02
Speaker 3: It's very good.
45:05
Speaker 2: Ow!
45:05
Speaker 3: Ball dog. No bueno. At first, it tried to make
45:09
Speaker 3: him hold his head, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no.
45:11
Speaker 3: Make him hold his butt. I mean, if you're a Missourian,
45:14
Speaker 3: this defense has not been good this year, and it
45:15
Speaker 3: was a really good defense last year. You're doing everything
45:18
Speaker 3: you can to see how good Aaron Filo is. I mean,
45:22
Speaker 3: let's slow down this run. I don't know if you
45:25
Speaker 3: can do it. Now, I've scribbled down. They still have
45:27
Speaker 3: the 38th ranked defense.
45:30
Speaker 2: Who, Mizzou?
45:30
Speaker 3: Yeah. It doesn't look like that. Yeah. Well, I guess
45:36
Speaker 3: we expect more out of Missouri. 38th, I don't know
45:38
Speaker 3: if that's good. Their dead last in play has given
45:41
Speaker 3: up of 10 yards plus in the SEC. They've given
45:43
Speaker 3: up 51 of those.
45:44
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at their numbers, only one
45:47
Speaker 2: team has rushed for over 100 yards, and it was
45:49
Speaker 2: last week at State.
45:51
Speaker 3: But they gave up 499 yards last week. They did.
45:56
Speaker 2: This is where your run defense gets tested.
45:58
Speaker 1: It's what makes it scary for Alabama because Alabama, they
46:02
Speaker 1: gave up some long plays against South Carolina. They just
46:05
Speaker 1: did not turn into any points. All right, Brown, what
46:07
Speaker 1: is your headlines? We are going to go to the
46:10
Speaker 1: Sooner Scooper.
46:12
Speaker 2: Oklahoma head coach spotted shopping during bye week for a
46:14
Speaker 2: quarterback costume. Courtback.
46:17
Speaker 7: Missing the R.
46:23
Speaker 3: You know, there is a thing called spell check. The
46:25
Speaker 3: funny thing is he sent me a headline and then
46:29
Speaker 3: was like, no, no, don't use that one. There was
46:30
Speaker 3: a typo in it. And then he sent me another
46:33
Speaker 3: one with the subject line, use this one in all caps.
46:36
Speaker 3: What you could have fixed it, right? I mean, I
46:39
Speaker 3: didn't look at it beforehand, but I could have checked it.
46:42
Speaker 2: There's nothing the back room lives for than me screwing
46:44
Speaker 2: something up. They live for that.
46:47
Speaker 3: It's just funny that you went back to correct it.
46:48
Speaker 2: I mean, Tyler had the bullet in the chamber. Wouldn't
46:51
Speaker 2: even let me finish the headline before.
46:53
Speaker 7: Go back!
46:54
Speaker 3: Scott pointed it out.
46:55
Speaker 2: I know Scott pointed it out. I might realize that
46:57
Speaker 2: at all.
46:58
Speaker 3: I don't go to AL.com anymore because of all the pop-ups.
47:01
Speaker 3: But when I do, there is always typos. Really?
47:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
47:05
Speaker 3: Like, I never saw them in newspapers.
47:07
Speaker 4: Yeah.
47:07
Speaker 3: But boy, they just... I don't know. I guess.
47:10
Speaker 2: Oklahoma head coach spotted shopping during bye week for a
47:13
Speaker 2: quarterback costume. I mean, let's don't lose the fact that
47:16
Speaker 2: Brent Venables is at Spirit Halloween shopping for a quarterback costume,
47:19
Speaker 2: even though quarterback is misspelled. As I try to tell
47:21
Speaker 2: you guys, there's a reason papers are going out of business.
47:23
Speaker 2: I think they're all sold out. Page two, the Kelsey
47:27
Speaker 2: family is, in fact, able to host all friends for
47:30
Speaker 2: a football watch party and have all games on.
47:32
Speaker 3: Thank God we finally have gotten to the bottom of that.
47:34
Speaker 3: Can you guys imagine going to a watch party and
47:36
Speaker 3: they give you one-fourth of a TV?
47:37
Speaker 5: I know.
47:38
Speaker 3: That's what I hate about that commercial. And it's only
47:40
Speaker 3: one TV?
47:40
Speaker 4: Yeah.
47:40
Speaker 3: And everyone's got to pile in the same room. And
47:42
Speaker 3: we're watching in the living room? And you've got to
47:44
Speaker 3: hang out with the Kelsies? Now, Jason Kelsey does come
47:46
Speaker 3: in with that big old sandwich. It does look good
47:48
Speaker 3: when he walks in with it.
47:49
Speaker 2: But, I mean, just in the commercial, they name all
47:51
Speaker 2: these games we need, but you put up a quad box.
47:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
47:55
Speaker 1: You did not even give me all the games that
47:57
Speaker 1: you said in the commercial. Go back and count the names.
48:01
Speaker 1: Flo needs all the games.
48:02
Speaker 3: She needs all the games. If I have a friend
48:05
Speaker 3: that comes over and pulls for a certain school.
48:08
Speaker 2: I will give them one of the side TVs. I've
48:10
Speaker 2: had to do this before. I don't like it, but
48:12
Speaker 2: I'll do it. Unless it's the game I want to watch,
48:14
Speaker 2: you're not getting the main TV. Right. You get the
48:16
Speaker 2: side TV. Page three, by the way, Northwestern opens new stadium.
48:20
Speaker 2: Student body stunned to discover school has a team. It's
48:23
Speaker 2: big tonight. They got Penn State there.
48:24
Speaker 3: That is tonight.
48:25
Speaker 2: That is.
48:26
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what that stadium atmosphere is
48:28
Speaker 1: like because I talked about this on the Conor O'Gara
48:31
Speaker 1: show earlier. You can go see Conor's show every Friday,
48:35
Speaker 1: and it's dropped right now. The games I've seen at
48:39
Speaker 1: Northwestern over the years, and they've had good teams occasionally,
48:42
Speaker 1: has usually been when Ohio State or Michigan was there.
48:45
Speaker 3: That's right.
48:46
Speaker 2: It's packed with their fans.
48:48
Speaker 3: And it's usually at least 50-50.
48:49
Speaker 4: Yep.
48:51
Speaker 2: And it's usually an upset that has caused me to
48:54
Speaker 2: turn it on, upset in the making. And the stadium
48:57
Speaker 2: is very silent because half the stadium is like, oh, God,
49:00
Speaker 2: we may lose to Northwestern. The two things I think
49:03
Speaker 2: about Northwestern's old stadium, Ryan Field. And I don't guess
49:06
Speaker 2: this one is called. Is this still called Ryan Field?
49:07
Speaker 3: It's called Ryan Field. The Ryan family is paying for it.
49:09
Speaker 3: The Ryan family has got some. Yeah, they got money.
49:11
Speaker 2: They got some chuck.
49:12
Speaker 3: What did they do? A little thing we like to
49:14
Speaker 3: call the Constitution. I don't know. Anyway. I think that's
49:18
Speaker 3: old money.
49:18
Speaker 2: That must be old money because it's was an expensive
49:20
Speaker 2: field they built. The two things I remember is, number one,
49:23
Speaker 2: it was always a destination straight out of game day
49:26
Speaker 2: before we put the big games at 11 a.m. I mean,
49:28
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how many times Coach would put
49:30
Speaker 2: the headgear on and all the stuff's going crazy. And
49:34
Speaker 2: we go to Pam Ward and Todd Christensen.
49:36
Speaker 3: And crickets.
49:37
Speaker 2: At Ryan Field. And it's about three quarters full.
49:40
Speaker 1: Purdue and Northwestern today on the shores of Lake Michigan.
49:43
Speaker 3: What was the other thing that jumped for you? The
49:45
Speaker 3: other thing that.
49:46
Speaker 2: Jumped for me is I remember that night game with
49:48
Speaker 2: Ohio State. It's still in Scott Van Pelt's Bad Beats Open.
49:53
Speaker 2: When Brent Musburger's doing the game with Herbstreet.
49:56
Speaker 3: I had Northwestern that night.
49:57
Speaker 2: That's as bad a beat as it's going to get.
50:00
Speaker 7: Hey, by the way, the answer to how they made
50:02
Speaker 7: their money?
50:03
Speaker 3: Insurance.
50:04
Speaker 2: The Ryan family in insurance?
50:06
Speaker 7: Yeah, the insurance industry.
50:08
Speaker 3: What company?
50:08
Speaker 7: Led by billionaire patriarch Patrick G. Pat Ryan.
50:12
Speaker 3: Oh, Pat Ryan.
50:12
Speaker 2: Pat Ryan. Patty Ryan.
50:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, the thing I remember were the little humps of
50:17
Speaker 3: grass on the sides.
50:18
Speaker 2: And it seemed like you had a lot of seats
50:20
Speaker 2: that were beyond the end zone that were still, like,
50:22
Speaker 2: they were bad seats.
50:23
Speaker 3: That's the way they used to build the other stadiums.
50:25
Speaker 3: Because they built a track and field as well, right?
50:27
Speaker 3: That's right. Rose Bowl was... There's more seats to me
50:31
Speaker 3: from goal line out.
50:32
Speaker 2: But these were like sideline seats that extended well beyond
50:36
Speaker 2: the end zone. It looked like those were just terrible
50:38
Speaker 2: views from those seats.
50:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am very interested to see how Penn State
50:41
Speaker 3: plays tonight after melting down, leading by 17 over Wisconsin.
50:45
Speaker 3: Both of these teams only have one turnover, which is
50:48
Speaker 3: kind of crazy. And you look at Aiden Childs, he's
50:50
Speaker 3: been good. Ten total touchdowns. Do I have a play
50:53
Speaker 3: on this up at Lance's Lock right now? 7 o'clock
50:55
Speaker 3: on Main Fox, Penn State 3-1, Northwestern 2-1. Penn State,
51:00
Speaker 3: the last number I had, Hard Rock Bet was 2.5.
51:03
Speaker 3: 2.5 is right. Total of 45.5.
51:06
Speaker 1: So that game and see what the atmosphere looks like
51:09
Speaker 1: in the new stadium. We'll talk about the point spreads
51:12
Speaker 1: at Hard Rock Bet, some good plays, not good plays.
51:15
Speaker 1: Todd Furman is coming up on the other side here
51:18
Speaker 1: as we roll on.
51:20
Speaker 5: And.
51:21
Speaker 1: Get ready for another big football. Week five of the
51:23
Speaker 1: college football season continues tonight. Two good games we'll talk about.
51:27
Speaker 1: That's Pitt and Virginia Tech, Penn State Northwestern. As we
51:31
Speaker 1: get ready to head to break here, Tyler, I will
51:33
Speaker 1: point out that Pitt and Virginia Tech making a little history.
51:38
Speaker 1: For the first time ever, there are two teams that
51:41
Speaker 1: are 4-0 or better undefeated who are facing off that
51:46
Speaker 1: are in the power conferences, that are facing off, and
51:48
Speaker 1: neither team are ranked. So we've never had power conference
51:51
Speaker 1: teams be 4-0 or better playing another 4-0 or better team,
51:56
Speaker 1: and neither team are ranked.
51:57
Speaker 3: Well, that's pretty remarkable. You know the last time Virginia
52:00
Speaker 3: Tech was 5-0, if they win this game tonight?
52:02
Speaker 2: Frank Beamer?
52:03
Speaker 3: Yeah.
52:05
Speaker 2: Michael Vick?
52:06
Speaker 3: It was 2005.
52:06
Speaker 4: 2005.
52:06
Speaker 3: Not quite Michael Vick, yeah.
52:09
Speaker 1: When we come back, Furman gives us his thoughts on that.
52:12
Speaker 1: This is the next round presented by Hard Rock Bet
52:14
Speaker 1: on Sporting States.
