  Speaker 1: Dabundo one last week with Danielle La. Make sure you

  Speaker 1: to start with Kendra back from Africa. Guy, how was it?

  Speaker 1: Give us the highlight of your trip? Something funny, something cool?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You saw?
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: All right, Rosebud Thorn will play this game. My Rose
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: was seeing the oldest desert in the world mixed with
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: the beach that was insane. Also, integrating with the tribe
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of women while the men were out on a hunt
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for a day was really cool and very humbling. My
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Bud is going to be that I am now the
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: godmother of a Namibian child, so if everything happens to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: her mother, I am going to adopt Anamibian child. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: then my Thorn would be running out of gas in
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: bum fuck nowhere with no phone service in Baboon country
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and thinking.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I was gonna die for like maybe thirty minutes.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: But yeah, it was really good.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Very humbling.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I had a great time, good experience, but I am
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: thankful to be home with clean drinking water and the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: ability to eat fresh vegetables. Again.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: It does give you a new perspective, that is for sure.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the poverty was one of the crazier things that
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I've ever seen.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: And I like to think that I'm.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Pretty well traveled, but yeah, I got in trouble for
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: feeding kids one day, and I think that that is
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: probably going to stick with me for the rest of forever.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: What was the coolest animal that you saw?
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Coolest animal?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like most people would probably say elephants, but
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I gotta say I had an ostrich run full speed
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: in front of the car.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: We were going like one hundred and twenty kilometers per hour,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and that was insane.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: They are so huge and so fast.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Girafts are like the most awkward animals I've ever seen
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: in my life. I did fall in love with the crickets.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: The crickets there are like this big and I posted
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: a picture on Instagram. I would just pick them up
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: and hold them and let them crawl all over me,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: and I love them so much.
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: Did you bring one back? No.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I wish that I could have smuggled a cricket, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think it would survive thirty six hours of travel, definitley,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but my spider probably would have loved it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: They are huge. Well, I'm looking huge. That's insane.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: I love that.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Glad.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ah, don't you have any questions for Kendrick.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: No questions. We can talk about this. I went to
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: Africa as well, South Africa. It was awesome, so I.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Looked for a Boomslang the entire time I was there.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't kiss one, even though I would want to,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: because it would make me bleed out of every orifice
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on my body. But I wanted to see one so
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: bad because they're so stupid looking.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We speaking of travel, my wife and I just did
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: our We put we each take five countries in the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: world and five places in the world camping in the US,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: put them in a hat, and then we picked one
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: by one. I'm sure people have seen this game. We
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: do this every year, and then the one that's left
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is where we go. And we just did ours the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: other day for next May, and we've got we kicked
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the place that's been in the hat for every year
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's never been picked. We're going we're going to Iceland
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: for two weeks. So wow, we're going to do the
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: whole ring around.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna eat a lot of hot dogs, that's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know anything for the food, Like I
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: don't know anything about the food that I'm gonna be
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: eating around the way. A lot of hot dogs.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: You say, hot hot dogs and fish and if you
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: get sick of that, you can eat burgers.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: And that's about it.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: But massive driving country, lots of hot dogs, so many
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: hot dogs.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: I have some recks for you. There's some people to
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: get you in touch.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: With, so okay, sweet. And then before we get to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: college baseball, Nick's last night with a historic comeback down.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: I never turn a game off. Never. I always say
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: there's a way I turned that off, and then just
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: put it on my phone and let my wife put
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on something. She's watching Homeland right now, so I was like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: you can put your show on right now. And I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: just had it up on my phone in front of
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: me and then they got up to like fifteen and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I gotta put this back on.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: That was insane. I cannot believe. My biggest takeaway is
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I can't believe the announcers didn't mention how dumb Darren
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Fox was for trying to go up with that layout.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: What was he thinking? That was absolutely as I.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Just think they were.
• 5:16
  Speaker 7: I just think they were caught up in the moment
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: like everyone else, Like, I think they were shocked at
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: what was going on because there was no stoppage of game. Yeah,
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: there was no stoppage in play. So I really just
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: think they were caught up in the moment and it
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: was insanely dumb.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I have this is crazy, but I
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: love a hot shower.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: And since I got back and wasn't really able to
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: take hot showers while I was gone, I have a
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: phone stand to watch games in my shower. I literally
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: was watching this game in my shower, like freaking out,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: and I'm shocked that I didn't eat shit, But like.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: What a game.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I'm a huge hot shower.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: Got to I take two long showers, Yeah, long.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Hot, burning hot, yes, scalding hot showers.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Own stand Literally it sticks on the wall and so
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: I hold my phone.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I have like these little shells where I can put
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: it in when I will. Yeah, but I always showered
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: my phone in case I miss lined me too.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I scroll on Twitter, I watch games, whatever it is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I've never showered on my phone. I will charge my phone, died,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I will charge it the shower.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, me too. Oh my gosh.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, I've never met anybody that actually does that,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: but me. So I feel I feel so vindicated right now.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's it's sickening, but uh yeah, crazy. One of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: craziest comebacks I've ever watched. What when craziest comeback in sports?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That you that most memorable? I should ask what is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the most memorable comeback?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I have my answer in your lifetime pick.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Six kick six. Oh yeah, that was that's fair. That's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite games of all time.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: I forget that was such a comeback too.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. My least favorite is twenty eight three.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I was just say that one side a.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Huge bet on the Falcons and the under Evan anything
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: come to your mind.
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I and I talked about this.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was this one January fourth, twenty fourteen, the
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: twenty eight point deficit Chiefs Colts forty five. Forty four
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: is always the game that comes to mind when I
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: think comebacks, because it was just it was thirty eight
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: to ten and I'm reading right now in the third quarter.
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: That was one of the craziest comebacks I've ever seen.
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: There was the comeback in the Bubble that I've liked,
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: the Nuggets, i think, and the Clippers that was like,
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: really really crazy. But last night was just so amazing
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: because of the celebrities and the environment and the reactions
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: and like, there's so many things that went along with
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: it that made it ridiculous, but all of those are
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: good too.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, that's the loudest I've ever heard,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: and I said this on Twitter.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: That was the loudest I've.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Ever heard an arena through a TV ever, Like I've
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: heard some loud stadiums and stuff, because obviously there's way
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: more people, so sometimes the Nats come through better on TV.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: But when they hit that ought to go up, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: have never heard it so loud through a TV in
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: Also, to be fair, and I'm in New York. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: was on the streets last night, didn't go to the game,
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: but like the environment, and I've been in other cities
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: like when things have happened and stuff like that, Like
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: people are just crazy here, So you know, I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: that added to it on some level.
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: But Nick fans are another the whole thing.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, as a New Yorker does it, I don't think
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it's going to surprise you. But what are your thoughts
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: on the fact that, like people are waiting for Wenby
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: to come out to like throw shit at him.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, they're all idiots and assholes, And I mean it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: just like, but I have a different perspective, Like I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: thirty eight years old, I've been in gambling, Like I'm
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: not the biggest of sports diehard fan. Like I just
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: feel like what's going on right now is just simply amazing.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Like the Knixt team, the story, the series, like everyone
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: just doing dumb shit is just stupid. I don't think
• 8:53
  Speaker 7: there's much more to say than that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But how about one thing that came to my mind,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins coming back from It's just a couple of
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: years ago against the Colts. It was like thirty four
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and then they Yeah, I think and never forgot about that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: I also forgot about that just because he's just a
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: guy that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Was like a Saturday or something like a Saturday game
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I was going. I was, I was in Cleveland in
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a bar watching Now. I was going to a Cleveland
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Browns game. After that, I think there was like Island games.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I think it was on a Saturday. Evan, do you
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: have before you move on to college Basel? Do you
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: have any do you have like a stat that sums
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: up how crazy that comeback was?
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: I mean, I think the stat and I really and
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: you anyone could look this up because I think it
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: was put out there a ton. But it's not just
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: last night's it's just what the Knicks keep doing. Like
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: I believe they're like five and four when they trail
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: by twenty plus, like things are what the Knicks are
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: doing when they're trailing in every game? I think is
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: the crazier stat like the Spurs having leads of twelve
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: plus in every game, like.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: The things that starts and they're up ten every yeah?
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: Correct, yeah, every single game. The Spurs are twenty six
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: six and two first quarter money line last thirty four
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: likely mean they just they start fast every single night.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: And I guess it's inexperience and a coaching for Mitch
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Johnson last night was just terrible, Like you just don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: need to be jacking up all those threes.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: It's just the clock is on your side, so crazy.
• 10:19

• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's good to see your face. It's been a
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: few months since the national title. I'm great, Well, I'm
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: well rested. I see you're putting college football bets into
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: the app. I've already got a few dimes down on
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: Alabama on the unders. So in a month things are
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: going to be fun. But right now I'm ready to
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: get through college baseball, through the World Series.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Well, this time last year you were telling me about
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: how Alabama is gonna win it all. So you've changed
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: your tune quickly, on mister Dobor. Yeah, Louisville, I bet,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I bet Louisville against Ole Miss. It's six and a half.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Lets fine brom brom with prep brom is a dog
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: bram against the rank team. And there's other reasons which
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about when we get into college football, BBOC
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: wherever you listen. But today we're not talking about college football.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: We're talking about college baseball. With the College World Series
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: upon us. The first thing I have to ask you, naturally,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is what do you think about Arkansas's path?
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so it's it doesn't matter if they're in it
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: or not. They're not going to win it. And I've
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: had so many people send me the twenty eighteen dropped
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: foul ball for the national title.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: I we can just skip this segment about Arkansas. Listen,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: they never gonna win. I saw me tweet and you
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: liked it. They will win the national title the year
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: after I die.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I will do on that title your honor. I will
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: out on thank you. So yeah, Arkansas didn't make it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: The disappointing season. They weren't a top sixteen national seed.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: They went to Kansas and got bounced by the Jayhawks.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: My wildcats. Also, I thought, look, they made it to
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: the regionals. The bracket broke for them. They were going
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: to host ye and they were I was like, oh,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to host something this upcoming weekend. And West
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Virginia beat them two times in a row and including
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: a crazy extra innings affair in an awesome atmosphere, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: now West Virginia is in the College World Series, and
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: then Kendrick will give you Auburn your Tigers. They were
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the number four overall seed. They made it to the
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: Supers and they were in great great position since the
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: one and two seeds got bounced, but they couldn't make
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it past Ole Miss who is now in the field.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: So none of our teams are here, but we do
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: have plenty of exciting baseball to come. So let's start.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I guess let's start with a broader question. Coming into
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the regionals, would you agree that like it felt like
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech and UCLA were, if not the two best,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: among the two best, and then there was maybe a
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: bit of a drop off. But neither are in the supers.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: And you've had some people, including the Texas head coach,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: come out and say maybe we should look at changing
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the super Regional format. Do you have any thoughts on
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: what this what the format looks like, and whether or
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: not it has to be changed as it just caused
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: too much chaos.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: Well, first off, UCLA was they were going to be
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: dead at some point because they had won fourteen games
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: in a row that were decided by two runs or less.
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's just not sustainable. You're going to get
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: knocked out at some point. As far as like what's
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: going there's these coaches that weren't receding. So this really
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: kind of ties back to March madness. Right, we make
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: the final four, we should recede them that we don't
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: have like a nine versus an eight while we have
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: two one seeds on the other side. They want to
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: do this in college baseball. I don't want to do this,
• 15:06
  Speaker 6: and the reason is because once they announce the regional field,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: you can.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Look at your futures tickets.
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: If you have like four or five of them, you
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: can see where they're at in the brackets, and if
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: you are lucky, then they all have a path to
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: get there, and it's just easier to hedge to take
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: other futures to manage your portfolio and your investments if
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: you know the direct path. If I knew that West
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: Virginia was going to play cal Poly and you know
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: Auburn was going to load up and play that, then
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: I would be sitting pretty with you know, one of
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: those futures. But the fact that they don't recede, gives
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: you three weeks to prepare for your future's portfolio if
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: they If they do recede, then you can be sitting
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: on a Georgia Tech against your Georgia ticket like immediately
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: inside of Omaha. Like you don't, you don't want that?
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: Like you you want it. You want to have a
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: predictable path, kind of like the college football playoff, right,
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: you can look two games ahead you And I did
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: that with the national title with Ohio State a couple
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: of years ago. The bracket came out and we're like,
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: this is the path. I know, we've got three games
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: to go, but this is exactly why we're betting Ohio
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: State to win the national title.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: So I like the way it is. I don't want
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: them to.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Reced I need a spark notes TLDR the most casual
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: rundown of what is happening right now, because I am
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: the type of person. The only like college baseball I
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: have watched all season was last weekend when I was
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: getting ready to go to a welcome party for a
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: wedding and when I was doing my.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Makeup for the wedding.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So what would you say, is like the spark notes
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: version of how we got here and how you approach
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: betting on what's coming up.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Well, first off, welcome to college baseball because this is
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: the This is the drunkest crowd in the history of
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: sports because you're bringing eight colleges to one city and
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: it caters to alcohol needs. Like how stucky and I
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: haven't done a live show from Rocos is still amazing
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: to me. But you know what you're looking at really
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: is they're going to start with the regional format and
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: then when they get to the championship round, they do
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: the super Regional format. So right now it's too long,
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: you're out. There's two sides for the bracket. Troy and
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: West Virginia are going to go start off in Old
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Miss North Carolina? Are there also Ole Miss North Carolina?
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Obviously just a great game that's going to happen on
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Friday tomorrow. And then on the other side is the
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: SEC Invitational, So you're gonna have Oklahoma, Alabama, Texas and
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Georgia and whoever loses two games gets knocked out. Whoever
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: wins those two sides goes to a championship a round
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: the best two of three. So I think, if like
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: you're new, I know that the structure of the College
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: World Series can be a little confusing. Just know, if
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: you lose two games, you're out.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, now that's Colin.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Let's start well. I actually you mentioned the drunkest crowd.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Who is the favorite to win the jello shot contest?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Who are you? Who are you making?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Wait?
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I've heard about this? What is this jello shot contest?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Because I was doing so much research to prep for
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: this because I don't know anything about it, and everyone
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: kept talking about this, and I was like, what does
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that mean?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Well, what's funny?
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: So I've been to Omaha a few times, and when
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: Arkansas is in it, I go as a fan. When
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: they're not there, I go as a member of the
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: media and I go across the street to Rocos where
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: they serve jello shots. So how this works is is
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: they will make jello shots to the color of your team,
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: and then they put on a marker board update every
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: day about how many they sold. This was really cute
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: for a while, like five thousand and seven thousand, eight
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: thousand sold. And then the guy that essentially owns I
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: believe raising Canes is an LSU guy and he bought
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: like over a million dollars worth of jello shots and
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: they got up to sixty six thousand a couple of
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: years ago. That is never going to be beat. So
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: right now, like I posted this video out on Twitter
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: yesterday about you know, the tears of the drinking and
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: who rockos want and Troy people are really really upset
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: with me for some of the things that I said
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: about them. If I had to go with drunkest out
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: of all these, I mean, think about it, Stuck. I
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: mean Texas they drink beer out of their shoe at
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: the game. Oh miss, I mean if you've been to
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: a game there, I mean that place is completely like
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: they're wasted all the time.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: But West Virginia, right, quite a few times they can.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it got to be West Virginia.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I think it's West Virginia shine in.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Their bathtubs and that's that state. So yeah, that would
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: be my bad.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Let's let's start with West. Let's start the bracket one.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: You have West Virginia taking on Troy, which will start
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: on Friday. Troy, they are the they are the non
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: household name here right, it's a bunch of sec of
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, West Virginia and then Troy, who is thirty
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: five to one to win this. They have the well
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: stots by far. Tell me, tell me I don't know
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: anything about Troy. Tell me about Troy. Tell me about
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Western Do they do they have the horses to make
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: a run.
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: They don't.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: From a pitching perspective, I mean nationally they're they're tenth
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: in generating hits and their twenty fifth and generating walk.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: So if they're going to win this thing or have
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: any kind of traction, it's got to come at the
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: plate with their sticks. I think one thing people need
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: to notice about college baseball is that kids are now
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: opting to not go in the MLB draft and go
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: take these nil deals.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: And the Sun Belt has been the.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Conference that has really benefited from that, because would you
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: rather play in Wilmington, North Carolina for fifteen thousand a
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: year or go hang out on a college campus with
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: chicks and have nil deals and facilities.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: To be at every day.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: So Troy is like a representation that shows like these
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: smaller schools are getting bigger.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: Can they win here? No?
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: They're pitching is I mean their x FIP is almost
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: up to six, right, they have one of the worst
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: the eras.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: They have one of the worst.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: They're going to try to hide their bullpen and try
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: to hide their arms here. West Virginia is a pesky team.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: If you know anything about Coastal Carolina last year, sacrifice bunts,
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: moving station to station like forcing suicide, squeezes, all this
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: crazy crap that you see in the Little League World Series.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: That's what West Virginia does.
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: And they're going to replicate what Coastal Carolina did, so
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: they should be priced where they are. But West Virginia
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: absolutely takes this first game tomorrow.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Then then you have North Carolina Ole Mess. We know
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: about the SEC in colgress or. Ole Mess says, look,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: we're the one SEC team up on the top half
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: of the bracket. But North Carolina is the co favorite
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: to win the College World Series along with Georgia. At
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: tractings at plus two seventy five, I saw you tweeting
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: about Ole Miss. They can hit, but in this venue
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: you can talk a little bit about this venue. This
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: is more about what pitching defense based running right, it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: hard to rely on power to get you through. So
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on both of those teams? And
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: then just do you want to speak to the venue
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: at large?
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because this is a good one. This is a
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: good game. So you have to realize in Omaha, the
• 21:31
  Speaker 6: weather can change on a dime. Sometimes it blows out
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: and then other times it's real lee field and it
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: could be blowing straight in like after an hour. Tomorrow
• 21:38
  Speaker 6: is a great example that it is going to be
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: blowing out, so it favors the offenses. I think that
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: helps ole Miss. But this pitching matchup, I mean, it
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: really deserves to be talked about. Ole Miss is going
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: to go with Hunter Elliott, who has been their Friday
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: night at starter for a couple of years. But he's wild.
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: Sometimes he can't locate. He's got a really high expit
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: compared to his era. He's not the best pitcher on
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: the staff. They're number two and three. Kay Townsend and
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: take the Rape are better, so ole Miss is more
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: suited to come back through the loser's bracket. But in
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: this game, they're not even going up against North Carolina's best.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: North Carolina's best is Jason DeCaro. They're going to hold
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: him back for the second game. They're gonna pitch Ryan Lynch,
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: who is just he just wants to throw his fastball
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: and just try to get a pass you. He won't
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: throw any breaking stuff whatsoever. Ole miss tees off on fastballs.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: I like Ole Missing this game. But more importantly, I
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: think the total at eight and a half, it's it's
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: one of my biggest money plays in the first four
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: games is the over the blow. I think the wind
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: is blowing about eight miles an hour with up to
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: twenty mile an hour GUS during this game. So I
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: like over eight and a half big, and I like
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: all miss to advance here.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: Is there a team that the park favors at all?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Do you think?
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, teams that play so you have to completely change
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: what this This is a Major League Baseball ballpark size,
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: Like we're talking three thirty down the lines, four hundred
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: and three seventy five in the power outs. The Royals
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: and White Sox have played a game here before. I mean,
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: they don't have to change anything. So what you're looking
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: for is teams that can hit doubles, hit triples, and
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: teams that have excellent field percentages, which the next game
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: we get into Oklahoma and Alabama, they rank one hundred
• 23:04
  Speaker 6: and eleventh and two hundred and fifty eight in defense,
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: So like, I mean, defense really matters here and you
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: watch Major League baseball, people run double plays all the
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: time as flawless. In college baseball, it ain't guarantee they're
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: doing they're hitting double plays.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: He's in North Carolina built that way though, Like aren't
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: they one of the teams that's built to like win
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in this type of part. But you met you mentioned
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: the win, which might neutralize that a bit.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: It does neutralize it a lot. And plus they've got
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: some arms they need to hide in the bullpen. Walker
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: McDuffie is their guy that's the closer, and he's been
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: tagged up through regionals and super regionals.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: So right now they're not pitching.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: The only pitcher that's really on their game is Jason Dacara,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: who just had a complete game shutout, but they're not
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: even going to use him in the first game.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: So you're if you like Oh Miss to beat North
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Carolina from a future's perspective, do you think it's worth
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: looking at Ole Miss eight to one? Since they are
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: in that top half the bottom half is a little weaker,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: do you think that they're worth a look? Because you know,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I know West Virginia's pesky. You don't think Troy is
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: the pitching. But if you like Ole Miss to beat
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. I Ole Miss at eight to one has
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to be a little tempting.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: It is a little tempting, But I do think this
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: is West Virginia's bracket. I think Bracket one belongs to
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: West Virginia. Their offense is on fire right now. Chansen
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Cole has so much movement on his ball when he throws,
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: and he can throw five different pitches. There are other pitchers,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: Maxiel it's gonna be their Game two starter was a
• 24:23
  Speaker 6: big twelve pitcher of the year. Ian Korn used to
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: be their third starter, but now he's like the glue
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: guy that'll come in and throw four to six innings
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: in case there's a problem, and he's been unhittable. I
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: think West Virginia has the offense to the doubles, the triples,
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: the sack bunts. That's not Old Missus game. So I
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: think it's Ole Miss in West Virginia in the final.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: But I think West Virginia is the one that takes
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: his bracket.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do think it's for the what ole Miss
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: wants to do and how they want to generate runs.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: That is very hard to sustain and get through a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: bracket in Omaha. Now, is there anything before we get
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to the bottom half the bracket? Is there any team
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: strategy that you agree with, disagree with, or that is
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: important to keep to watch? What I mean by that
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: is like, Okay, you already mentioned you know someone holding
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: back their their main starter for game two, But is
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: is there a team who's pitching there there are clear
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: ace in game one and then they might bring them
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: back in game three. If like, is there any strategy
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: for any of these teams in the top half or
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: they're order that we should be aware of?
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I know how I want to answer this,
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: but it applies to a team in Bracket two.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: Okay, so if you get that. Yeah.
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: So Luke Harrison is the second starter for Texas and
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: in the Super Regional they decided to bring him in
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: in the middle of the game after Dylan Valantis was pulled.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: And I think they've lost a little faith in Luke
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: Harrison as a starter, and they moved Ruger rijoas their
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: third starter up as the second starter in the Super Regional.
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: So I think they've kind of lost faith in Luke Harrison.
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: So there is a philosophy with some of these coaches,
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: right they're they're gonna take their starters and they're going
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: to throw them in at any time. You're LSU had
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: a cheat code with Anthony Iinson, like anytime we feel
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: like there's trouble, he's going to come in and sit
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: everybody down. There are coaches that will ride the hot arm,
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: like a Paul Schemes. When Paul Schemes was an Omaha,
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: It's like he would pitch his day for nine innings
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: and then he would come in any day. It was
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: like a Madison Bumgarner thing from the mid twenty tens.
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: It's like, anytime we can call him in, we will.
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: That picture here, there's a couple of pictures in North
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: Carolina and Jason Decarro Texas, Dylan Valantis. You're gonna see
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: those guys at any point.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Okay, what do you think has like the
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: best like pitching in the tournament left? Because I think
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: that anyone who like watches baseball at all, that's the
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: most important thing. So as someone who's a casual, that's
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: probably what I'm looking for.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: It's not Georgia.
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you that their pictures can get tagged and
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: they just can't control their movement.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: They've got so much spin rate.
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: Alabama is healthy now, they haven't been healthy all season,
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: so he can't really trust their numbers that they have
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: the best pitching staff by far from The second and
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: third starter is old Miss with Taylor Ray. If you
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: see Taylor rape com in this sophomore, kids like standing
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: six to six and his release points like six foot eleven, right,
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: so it's really hard to hit him.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Best.
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: Overall, staffs probably will miss West Virginia's up there. Texas
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: has the best starter, though. If you see Dylan Balantis
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: on the mound, which you willt Saturday night, that is
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: an automatic play because he is just untouchable right now.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: He'll be pitching at the next level.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the matchups in bracket to
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the SEC Invitational. We're starting with a college football playoff
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: rematch in Alabama Oklahoma. Alabama has maybe a top ten
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: pick in this upcoming draft, and Justin lebron Is. Both
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: of these are the opening games for both are lined
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: pretty closely, so these look like potentially even matchups. Tell
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: us about Alabama Oklahoma.
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: I make it minus one ten both ways, but I
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: really feel that this is a coin flip. But I
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: think the advantage of Oklahoma Alabama has been hiding their
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: pitching they are they are a pitching staff that pitches
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: to contact. That's not a good formula when you rank
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: two hundred and fiftieth in defense out of three hundred
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: teams in Division One. You're two hundred and fiftieth in
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: defense and your pitching staff has pitched to contact. Oklahoma
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: is absolutely mashing the ball and tearing the cover off
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: of it right now. And what Skim Johnson has done
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: as their head coach from a pitching perspective, like they've
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: had at least eight different guys be starters on the weekend,
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: Like you never know who they're going to throw because
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: they are moving guys in and out. Even the guy
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: they're gonna throw in Game one was their Game three
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: starter for the second half of the season and he
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: was not even a starter before that. So Oklahoma has
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: been piecing it together from a pitching perspective. But right
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: now they might be the hottest offense coming in here
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: because they are tearing the cover off the ball.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And then Georgia Texas another matchup we've seen frequently in
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: college football recently. What are your thoughts there? Tell us
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: about those teams.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: Outside of the Rats, Kirby always beats Stark, right, No,
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: so we'll so we're going to go with Texas in
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: this one. It is under priced right now, and I
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: think that's only because they haven't announced Dylan Balantis as
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: the pitcher. When he is announced, it should be minus
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: one sixty. I think you can find it like minus
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: one thirty in the market right now. But Texas with
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Valantis on the mound is better than Georgia and Vultko. Now,
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: first off, Georgia's sticks are great, but now you're going
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: to go play in a major league sized ballpark. They
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: literally play in a little league park down there in Athens,
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: and I don't think most of their fans are going
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: to yell at me for saying that. Like it is
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: a really tiny little league type field. It's not hard
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: to get the ball over the fence, and they recruit
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: to that too. That's why they can't get good pictures.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Vultko came in from Stanford. He's got such a spin
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: rate that he can't even control when it's a strike,
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: Like look at the catcher's bit when Vultuko's pitching, Like
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: he'll start here and the ball will end up over
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: here because he can't control his spin on his sweeper.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: So I definitely love Texas in the first which I hate.
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: I got a Georgia future, but Texas in the first game,
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Dylan Palantis, I play it up to minus one fifty.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: So what speaking of futures, what are you most of
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: your futures are in the bottom are what are your
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: remaining futures? So we know what to root for?
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: All right, I gotta Georgia sixteen to one.
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I've got an Alabama fifty five to one, and I
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: got an Oklahoma ninety to one, and I.
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Have zero dollars and zero cents on Texas.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: So do you have anything in the top half?
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: No, all of mine got knocked out, so.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You're all three in the bottom half. Obviously you would
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: like the one that pays the most to hit. But
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: which one are you most excited about? Based on the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: draw in these teams?
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: Oklahoma I think is going to beat Alabama. Then they're
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: going to get their shot against Texas, which will pitch
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: without Dylan Balantis, and that really gives the Sooners a shot.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: The fact that we're getting a bread River in Omaha
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: is like in Big Eight territory country. I mean, it's
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: going to be great. So I really impulim for Oklahoma
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: to beat Alabama, and I'm pretty positive Texas is going
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: to be there for him. So that Oklahoma ninety to
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: one is I'm going to have to make some decisions.
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: I might have to fly to a book that will
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: sect accept a pretty large wager if I have to hedge.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Who is your favorite? But we'll do a little rapid
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: fire here. Who is your favorite player in the field
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: that we haven't mentioned. Doesn't have to be the best,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: just your favorite.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: I think my favorite right now is probably Walker Hooks.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: He's the He's the closer for Ole Miss.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: He looks like he could play football for for uh
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: uh for for ole Miss.
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go with him.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: He's been solid down the stretch, and I think all
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: Misses the team that's I love their pitching staff, but uh,
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: you know, Walker Hooks is definitely their guy at the
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: closer and he'll come in anytime too. But like they
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: even had him start a game once this season, Like
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: he'll come in and throw four innings and shut everybody down.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: If you didn't have a future and if someone out
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: there is listening without a future, and you were forced
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to place one. Right now, which one are you betting.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Texas? Yeah?
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: I mean when you have the best pitcher and you
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: can bring in them use him anytime. The problem is
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: as Schloss as their coach, right, I mean Schloss if
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: you don't know who that is. He was a TCU forever,
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: went to Texas A and M for one season and
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: then burned him and went to Texas. So when you
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: make the hot from TCU to Texas A and into Texas,
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: you pissed off a lot of people in that state.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: And you know.
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: He he is questionable as a manager at times with
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: some of the decisions he makes. But I think Texas
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: is absolutely loaded from a pitching They have the best
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: starter and if you can throw him anytime and get
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: a win out of that, that's worth a future.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Is there anybody who has a coaching advantage.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: That's a really Yeah, that's a great question because college
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: baseball is so different, Like the coaches are always whispering
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: in the pitcher's ear into a microphone that tells them
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: what to throw. I think North Carolina's coaches up there,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: you know, Biaco fer Ole Miss has won the championship,
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: you know, if you want to talk about he just
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: won the championship like four years ago for ole Miss,
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: so I think by default because he's won national title
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: recently Mike Bianco and ole Miss.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And then it sounds like, just judging based on what
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: you've said so far, it sounds like your prediction is
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: West Virginia versus Texas. By the way, why is in
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Texas starting? Atlantis won in game one?
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: They are?
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: They are?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what he's saying, is that the price is
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Why why isn't that announced?
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: Like, oh, so it's it's hilarious like college baseball is
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: I mean, you think we have ship we have to
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: track down. And inside college football, these managers will will
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: never tell you who's throwing until forty five minutes for
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: the game, and they walk up with the lineup card
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: of the umpires and then it gets put into staff
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: broadcast and then finally everybody knows, like they most of
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: them hide it the best they can because they don't
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: want the other team to know who's pitching.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: But that's like a lock that he's going to start.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean, he always Why would you not throw
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: the best?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we were yeah, But.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: But I mean, Georgie is the best offense in this
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: in this entire tournament. So I mean, why would you
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: not throw your number one star against the hottest sticks,
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: the biggest sticks out there.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: There's a difference between like obviously a mirror, like a
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: miracle and a pleasant surprise. Is there a team that
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: would be not a mirror but a pleasant surprise for you?
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: West Virginia is a pleasant surprise. Troy would be a miracle.
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: Sorry Trojan fans, they really hate me this week, but
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: Troy would be a miracle.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, Texas West Virginia if that's your projected final. By
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: the way, do you know the last time Texas West
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Virginia played in football was twenty twenty two? Can you
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: name either of the starting quarterbacks in that game?
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Three?
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Three?
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Three players in that game?
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I think I can name maybe the quarterback for West Virginia.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Who's that was it?
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Will Greer?
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Now Buck, that was good?
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: Have been my guess?
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: That was a stucky favorite.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Will Ger before then? But again, oh boy, here.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Boy, here we go with the trivia. I didn't know
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I was going to get into this. Oh, Texas had
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: such mediocrity when start, got there? Who is his quarterback?
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: Hell, it was Roshan Johnson running the Wildcat with Jon
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: I forgot even who quarterback was for that team. I'll
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: pass go ahead.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Well, Xavier Worthy threw a touchdown in that game, but
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Hudson Card, Hudson Card. And the West Virginia quarterback who's
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: been all over the world and back was JT. Daniels. Oh.
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: Now, if you would have told me, if you would
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: have told me a quarterback that's moved on to rice football,
• 35:23
  Speaker 6: you know I would have got it immediately.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Right Georgia US City, West Virginia, a true man of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the times.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: But he's he's the Gaylord Perry of college football.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Texas Texas wins it in the end. Is that your pick?
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, Texas over West Virginia. It's a nice story.
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: But you know Texas has the best pitcher and they've
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: got a top twenty five defense, and they're hitting can
• 35:47
  Speaker 6: be clutch at times. So you know, I hate this
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: pains me to say it, but we'll go Longhorns hook him.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: And then before we plan our flag, Colin, our producer,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: wants to know, what's one thing you miss at this
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: point in this summer and one thing you definitely do
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: not miss.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: The one thing I miss about you is that you
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: are the only person, and you know this, in the
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: entire world that can talk me out of a bed.
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: I don't listen to anybody else, I don't sample anybody else.
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: You are the only person in the world in college
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: football that can get me to change my mind. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: you know that, so that I absolutely.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 36:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, look, I mean Action Network employee two
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: and three here, So I mean, like, we've been doing
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: this for almost a decade now, and when you flip
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: the microphone on here in a couple of weeks, it
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: sends a journaline through my veins. I never want to
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: stop doing it for the rest of my life. What
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: I don't like about what I don't miss about you
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: is that I have to wait fifteen minutes to an
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: hour until you finally get in the chair and turn
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: your camera on.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I think I've laid on this floor waiting for you before.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: Probably all right, good stuff there, let's plan our flag.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: Mind a flag and it shut up.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to plant my flag here.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, you're really planning your flag in that day?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: DraftKings favorite bet it could be a future it could
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: be a matchup, it could be around one bet. Kendra,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: you came into the show, yep, having no idea yep
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: on college baseball. Now you have some AMMO. Have you
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: where you convinced on.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: Anything that you Yeah, I'm gonna go with Texas minus
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: one thirty five before the price gets better or it
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: gets worse. But I also want to know the price
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: on Colin following me back on Twitter, what.
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: Is the price? It's free.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: I'll do it the second week that we're done.

  Speaker 6: I love Kender's bet, but I'm gonna move to Ole
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: Miss North Carolina. Let's go over eight and a half.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: I think it's gone up from minus one ten to
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: minus one twenty. I might have had something to do
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: with that, but I think it's gonna get up to ten.
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: The wind is blowing out. When people realize the wind
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: is blowing out on Friday, you're going to get some
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: over money there. And by the way, just for everybody
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: paying attention to the wind, it's going to be blowing
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: in hard on Saturday during Ou Alabama and Texas Georgia
• 38:13
  Speaker 6: so keep that in mind. Always check the win when
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: you play totals in Omaha.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: And well, I was going to go with Texas in
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: the first game against Georgia. If Colin wasn't on the segment,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I was going to steal the over as well. So
• 38:25
