Latest / Kenny Wallace Media / College Football Week 1: Ohio State, Arch Manning & Bill Belichick's Girlfriend | Charlie Marlow Show
Transcript
- 0:00What's up everybody? Charlie Marlow here on a
- 0:02Thursday. I know it's a little bit late.
- 0:04Five days after the first big college football Saturday of the
- 0:08year. Sorry, I don't count Week 0, but
- 0:11we're going to do Week 1 college football recap and we're going
- 0:14to try to do this each and every week of the college football
- 0:17season. So let's get right to it.
- 0:20I'm an Ohio State fan, so I'm going to watch Ohio State
- 0:23usually no matter what. Although they are playing
- 0:25Grambling coming up this weekend, so that one may be over
- 0:30quick. That could be like 70 to zip.
- 0:33Although you don't want to show Grambling disrespect, but that
- 0:35one is not going to be a great game.
- 0:38However, Ohio State, Texas, pretty good game, at least on
- 0:42the scoreboard. Now it wasn't the most exciting
- 0:46game. Obviously you're thinking maybe
- 0:48you could get some some decent offense.
- 0:50Obviously both teams have a really good defense and that
- 0:55played out, but you had two young gunslingers, unproven but
- 1:00really highly touted quarterbacks Arch Manning and
- 1:03Julian Sayin and man, there was not a lot of offense to be got
- 1:08in that game. However, though, before we start
- 1:10breaking that one down, let's talk about the pregame because I
- 1:14do think it was cool college game day with Lee Corso.
- 1:18I was never really into game day watching.
- 1:21I I've never watched it religiously.
- 1:23I'm the type of person where if Ohio State's playing at it's 11
- 1:27O clock because I live in the central time zone, If Ohio
- 1:31State's playing at 11 and they do a lot, I know people complain
- 1:35about that. A lot of the big Buckeye games
- 1:38are at noon Eastern. But if Ohio State's playing at
- 1:4111, then I'm trying to get stuff done in the morning, stuff with
- 1:45the kids, maybe they have a a game, try to get to the gym,
- 1:49whatever it is, and then just lock in 5-10 minutes before the
- 1:52game. So I've never really been a big
- 1:54college game day person, but obviously I've seen it over the
- 1:57years. And I do think it was very cool
- 1:59the way they went out with Lee Corso and they said they're
- 2:03going to do it in a way they've never done it before and they're
- 2:05out on the field. You're thinking, is he going to
- 2:07dot the I? Is he going to dot the I with
- 2:10the band, which he didn't do, But still, it was very cool.
- 2:12He had the tuxedo on. And what did Lee Corso say?
- 2:16My first love, the first mascot had he put on was Brutus.
- 2:23Brutus the the nice headgear. And then he did it again for his
- 2:26final prediction. And then I saw what did he get
- 2:29every single prediction right. So good on Lee Corso.
- 2:33That was cool to see. All right, back to the game.
- 2:36So look, here's here's what was really entertaining to me.
- 2:41The game wasn't that entertaining.
- 2:43Now, fourth quarter got a little interesting, but once Arch
- 2:47Manning started playing and performing poorly, man, the
- 2:53memes on Twitter were so funny, so funny.
- 2:59And I was tweeting this out myself.
- 3:00I, I wonder if college football Twitter is, is the funniest of
- 3:03all twitters? Is it funnier than political
- 3:06Twitter? I mean, the memes came fast and
- 3:09furious and like a picture of JFK in his older years if he
- 3:16would have lived. And it said, you know, this is
- 3:18JFK if Arch Manning was the shooter.
- 3:21I mean, all kinds of just. And worse than that, worse than
- 3:25that. So you can just, you can go and
- 3:28check on on X. But they were really, really
- 3:30funny. And look, I think it was
- 3:33deserved. And some people are saying, oh,
- 3:35this is the media's fault for hyping up Arch Manning too much.
- 3:38And yeah, did the media hype up Arch Manning a lot?
- 3:42They did. But also, I mean, it's year 3
- 3:45for this dude. He's a Manning, by the way.
- 3:47He was in every commercial. Seems like a good kid, but he
- 3:51was in every commercial in between, in between play.
- 3:55And it's like at the beginning you're watching him play and
- 3:58he's not very good. And then you go to a whatever it
- 4:00was, the Ori commercial or the sunglasses, the the eyeglasses
- 4:04commercial that he was in there. And I just thought, I thought
- 4:07Arch Manning looked rattled early.
- 4:11I actually thought, and I tweeted this, I thought he
- 4:13looked Yippy. I thought he had the yips a
- 4:15little bit. Now a lot of people way smarter
- 4:17than I in football are saying that Matt Matt Patricia's
- 4:21defense was just just right on point in terms of disguising
- 4:27coverages. And I and I get that as well,
- 4:29but still like some of his early throws, he's skipping the ball
- 4:32off the turf and throwing the ball behind guys and you know,
- 4:36throwing at dudes shoe tops and all that.
- 4:38So I thought he looked nervous honestly.
- 4:41And credit goes to Matt Patricia, who, by the way, I
- 4:45never really liked. So now as an Ohio State fan, I
- 4:48feel like I do have to like Matt Patricia.
- 4:50But I mean, he dialed it up and he had just an absolutely
- 4:53picture perfect game plan. But also it looked like it
- 4:58looked like Arch Manning had time to throw.
- 5:02And I don't know if he was seeing ghosts out there, but he
- 5:05looked bad to me. And I understand it's on the
- 5:07road. First big, big game, first big
- 5:11start, 1st Rd. start. Ohio State's defence is elite.
- 5:14It's going to be just packed with NFL players.
- 5:16But I was really, really unimpressed.
- 5:19Actually, I was really unimpressed with Arch Manning.
- 5:22And I hope he plays better moving forward.
- 5:24I got nothing against the kid, but like, based on all the hype
- 5:28and I'm not somebody who watches all the games.
- 5:31And I never, I never have been the last several years since
- 5:33I've been out of TV especially. So I'm watching Ohio State so
- 5:36I've heard of the hype about Arch Manning and I looked and I
- 5:39guess he what started a couple games last year and I think he
- 5:41started against Mississippi State.
- 5:44So that's decent competition, but I, I just expected him to be
- 5:49pretty good in this game. I expected Julian Sane to be
- 5:53pretty good. I think Julian Sane was better
- 5:55than Arch Manning, but I think as that game progressed, Ryan
- 6:00Day just kind of realized what they had to do to win.
- 6:03And I think he was super, super conservative and it worked out,
- 6:06even though in the end there it's A1 score game and Texas and
- 6:10Arch Manning have the chance to, to tie it there at the end.
- 6:13But I never, I never really thought Ohio State was going to
- 6:17lose that game. And you know, after a few, a few
- 6:21minutes in 1/4 in whatever it was, I, I didn't really think
- 6:24Ohio State was going to lose that game.
- 6:26Also glad Ohio State is number one in the country.
- 6:30And I, I don't even want to say I don't care, but that was the
- 6:33right pick. I saw some people on ESPNI think
- 6:37it was Booger. McFarlane even suggested Penn
- 6:39State should be #1 it's like, what are, what are we talking
- 6:42about here? And then someone else, was it
- 6:44Heather Dennich? I, I don't know all the names,
- 6:46but I feel like she said, you know, LSU because they're a win
- 6:49on the road versus Clemson. I'm just thinking to myself,
- 6:52we're we're trying too hard here, folks.
- 6:55I understand ESPN is in bed with the SEC.
- 6:58We know Fox, Fox is in bed with the Big 10.
- 7:03But like we're overthinking things And, and I give LSU
- 7:07credit, that's a big win on the road Clemson.
- 7:10But like Ohio State is the defending national champs.
- 7:14They won, they beat the number one team in the country.
- 7:18Their defense was just off the charts good.
- 7:21Ohio State should be #1 they were ranked #1 and it wasn't
- 7:25even close. So that was good to see.
- 7:28OK, so Ohio State watch that whole game, Bing bang boom.
- 7:33And then so I didn't watch, I mean, Alabama.
- 7:35Another thing. I mean, Alabama fans going crazy
- 7:38didn't watch that game, but who? So what?
- 7:41Kaylyn De Boer has lost five games in his last, however many.
- 7:46So Alabama fans are are not too happy and I got nothing against
- 7:53Kaylin De Boer. So I like I like seeing people
- 7:56getting ornery and clearly Alabama fans are it's pretty
- 8:01early. I mean it's year 21 game in the
- 8:04year 2. But you're starting to see
- 8:06little leaks and this and that and things about culture.
- 8:10And I saw it today. I was reading a headline where
- 8:12what a Michigan player said that they run more at Michigan, a
- 8:15transfer because De Boer, you know, they didn't condition well
- 8:20at Alabama. You're starting to just see some
- 8:22little things here. A booster comes out and
- 8:25anonymously at a blog and says these guys at the hotel are
- 8:29coming in and out and eating food at late hours and all that
- 8:33and just seems like it's not the same discipline program as as
- 8:36Nick Saban. So so we'll see.
- 8:38It's very early there. I do think though, I mean,
- 8:41Kaitlyn Dubourg just really came on the scene on a national, on a
- 8:45national level pretty quickly there with Washington and all of
- 8:48a sudden boom gets the Bama job. It did seem kind of like an odd
- 8:54fit to me. And I understand he was really
- 8:56hot at the time. I always thought, I always
- 8:59thought that Dabo, just because Dabo went to Alabama.
- 9:05I always thought Dabo was the guy that would succeed Nick
- 9:09Saban. But obviously Dabo's got Clemson
- 9:10rolling so good the last 10-15 years, so he's got a good thing
- 9:15going right there. So Bama fans going nuts and then
- 9:19let's move to was it? Was it Sunday?
- 9:23Sunday is Notre Dame and Miami. And I did watch like the final
- 9:28quarter of that game and Notre Dame comes back and then there's
- 9:35the field goal at the end. So Miami wins it.
- 9:37And again, I just watched the last quarter of that game.
- 9:40I'm I'm rooting for Marcus Freeman.
- 9:42I grew up, I was never a fan of Notre Dame.
- 9:44I kind of always like to see Notre Dame lose.
- 9:48I really didn't like Brian Kelly at all.
- 9:49Still don't. But I root for Marcus Freeman,
- 9:52not just because he was a Buckeye, but he seems like a
- 9:54good dude. He's likable.
- 9:57But it does always seem like Notre Dame.
- 9:59They're always a little bit overrated, even if it's a little
- 10:02bit, they're a little bit overrated.
- 10:04Usually at the beginning of the season.
- 10:05Even last year when they came back and they were in the
- 10:09College Football Playoff championship game.
- 10:11But I mean they're early ranking, they lost to Northern
- 10:14Illinois. I mean they were favored on the
- 10:17road True Rd. game at Miami. I thought that was a little
- 10:20much. So watched all of Ohio State,
- 10:23watched 1/4 of Notre Dame, Miami and then I want to get to this
- 10:29is Monday. I don't watch any of I'm just
- 10:33being honest with you folks. Didn't watch any of North
- 10:35Carolina TCU, but obviously TCU crushes Chapel Bill and Bill
- 10:41Belichick in North Carolina in his debut.
- 10:45Everybody's going nuts and you got the girlfriend and all that.
- 10:48And I do think it's just such a hilarious story to me, Bill
- 10:52Belichick and his girlfriend. It's such a hilarious story.
- 10:56And we all know if you're a rich dude, successful dude, you got
- 11:00money, you got Super Bowls and all that.
- 11:02We know you're going to get younger women, right?
- 11:05I just, I find it so funny and I wonder when did Bill Belichick
- 11:10actually think he could score a lady that much younger, You
- 11:15know, whatever he is. Is he 73?
- 11:18She's 24. I don't even know the exact
- 11:20numbers, but it's, it's a, it's an insane age gap.
- 11:24I just find it hilarious. And if they met on a plane a
- 11:27couple years ago, whatever it was again, if Bill Belichick's
- 11:30in his 70s money, power, Super Bowls, he knows he's going to be
- 11:36able to get any. OK, 52 year old woman, sure. 46
- 11:42year old divorcee, all good. But like when that woman sat
- 11:46down next to him, did Bill really think he had a chance?
- 11:50Like, OK again, 38 year old what's what's the old?
- 11:54The old adages. You take the person's number,
- 11:58you divide it by two and you add 7.
- 12:00I believe so if Bill Belichick, I don't even know what he is.
- 12:04Is he 73? So you're talking about like
- 12:0630-6 or seven add 7. That's like 4445.
- 12:11And this, this chick is 24 years old.
- 12:15I just, I just find it so funny like when she sat down and he
- 12:18starts talking to her. Did he really right off the bat
- 12:23think he had a chance with this girl this young?
- 12:26Or do they start to talk and he's realizing man, like at at
- 12:28the beginning he's thinking, OK, this woman's very pretty, but
- 12:31she's too young for me, right? But then he starts to talk to
- 12:34me. He's like, dude, I, I, I have a
- 12:37chance with this, with this girl who's basically 50 years younger
- 12:41than me. I just, I find I find the whole
- 12:44story hilarious. I will literally just be sitting
- 12:48around and I'll just think of that every once in a while and I
- 12:51just laugh. And you see her gorgeous.
- 12:53You see him. He's got the man boobs and all
- 12:55that. Hey, and, and I've seen the meme
- 12:59before. You show an old dude with a
- 13:01young girl and you can say you show it to your son.
- 13:05This is what this is what you can, this is what you can have,
- 13:07right? When you're an old guy with
- 13:08money, you can have this beautiful young woman, but then
- 13:10you also show it to your daughter, right?
- 13:12Because look, you're, you're the, you're the pretty daughter
- 13:17and that that's what you got the older dude, the the 70 something
- 13:22year old dude. So I don't even know if I got
- 13:24that analogy correct, but there's something out there like
- 13:26that. Anyway, I just, I honestly
- 13:29really laugh because it's just an insane, it's an insane age
- 13:32gap. It makes no sense.
- 13:34I think it's hilarious. I just think it's hilarious for
- 13:36college football when she's out there and all the memes about
- 13:39that too. Let's just wrap up on that note.
- 13:41We're not going to go super long.
- 13:43The memes won the day. Arch Manning memes for Week 1.
- 13:48Bill Belichick and his girlfriend Jordan.
- 13:50I don't even know her last name. I'll know her last name for next
- 13:52week, but the memes for that and you know, can I borrow $20.00
- 13:56for the concession stand and all that?
- 13:58It's just hilarious. It's a good storyline.
- 14:01It's good for college football. There you go.
- 14:04So that's my Week 1 recap. Didn't watch a ton, watched Ohio
- 14:07State, watched 1/4 of Notre Dame and Miami.
- 14:12Bill Belichick's girlfriend is just insane.
- 14:15Just a crazy, crazy story. But this is 2025 and this is
- 14:19what we get. Everything's nuts.
- 14:20There you go. Hopefully we'll have more for
- 14:23Week 2, but we do have Worldwide Technology Raceway.
- 14:27It's NASCAR weekend in Saint Louis, so I'm going to be at the
- 14:29track Saturday and Sunday. Won't watch as much football,
- 14:33but we'll check in next week. Love you all.
- 14:36Peace out. Week 1 college football in the
- 14:39books. Go Bucks.
