- 0:08Speaker 1: All right, everybody.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Saturday night will be here before you know it. Friday
- 0:26Speaker 2: night's pretty good for sports watching as well. It is
- 0:29Speaker 2: time for your Couch Potato Guide, where we let you
- 0:32Speaker 2: know what's happening when, so you can inform the family
- 0:36Speaker 2: that during those times.
- 0:38Speaker 3: You will be unavailable, if that's the way it works
- 0:41Speaker 3: in your household. It may not work in your household,
- 0:44Speaker 3: but give it a shot.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Big Murph, no chewing shoes right now.
- 0:47Speaker 3: We got games on.
- 0:48Speaker 4: He chewed my shoes yesterday while I was wearing them,
- 0:51Speaker 4: by the way, which is always a while. All of
- 0:55Speaker 4: a sudden, I felt a little ping on the toesies,
- 0:58Speaker 4: and I thought.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Uh-oh, he's got my foot in his mouth.
- 1:02Speaker 2: That's a different type of foot-in-mouth disease going on over
- 1:05Speaker 2: there at the house.
- 1:06Speaker 3: He's warning, though.
- 1:07Speaker 4: He's warning.
- 1:07Speaker 3: All right, so here's what we got tonight. We mentioned
- 1:10Speaker 3: it earlier.
- 1:11Speaker 2: We'll start with basketball, the Tar Heels, and USC playing
- 1:15Speaker 2: an exhibition to start the Mike Malone era, unofficially, I guess.
- 1:20Speaker 2: 7 o'clock, ACC Network. And then you've got three interesting
- 1:25Speaker 2: college football games tonight, Bone. Obviously, the ACC one is
- 1:29Speaker 2: probably the most intriguing to most of us. Florida State
- 1:33Speaker 2: at Louisville.
- 1:34Speaker 4: Every interesting spot for the Knolls.
- 1:36Speaker 2: But how about Iowa-Washington? Fox at 9 o'clock. And don't
- 1:40Speaker 2: sleep on. Actually, I will sleep on this. It's a 10-15.
- 1:43Speaker 2: But figuratively don't sleep on it. Iowa State at BYU.
- 1:48Speaker 2: BYU has Notre Dame next week. Could there be a
- 1:51Speaker 2: look ahead? But BYU only scored 10 points last week.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So I think all three of those are interesting, though.
- 1:58Speaker 4: I had BYU in a parlay last week, so I
- 2:00Speaker 4: watched most of that game. I was not not not like,
- 2:03Speaker 4: you know, too intently, but it was on. Not that impressed, though,
- 2:08Speaker 4: with BYU. I think they're at some point here. They're
- 2:11Speaker 4: ripe for the pickings. I don't know if it's tonight,
- 2:13Speaker 4: but certainly Notre Dame, I think, has something for it.
- 2:16Speaker 4: But I don't think BYU is number eight good this year.
- 2:19Speaker 3: No. I don't sense that. I would agree.
- 2:21Speaker 2: And I don't think Texas Tech is near as good
- 2:23Speaker 2: as they were last year. And those are probably the
- 2:25Speaker 2: two best in the Big 12. Let's move to Saturday.
- 2:28Speaker 2: What's on Saturday at noon? How about North Carolina-Pittsburgh? ESPN
- 2:34Speaker 2: at noon. And how about Wake and State at noon
- 2:38Speaker 2: on the CW network from Raleigh? The Wes Bryant special
- 2:42Speaker 2: with Wes on the sidelines for this one. Indiana-Nebraska, very
- 2:46Speaker 2: interesting from a national perspective.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Indiana battled Northwestern at home. I wonder... I do wonder
- 2:57Speaker 3: if Nebraska asks up for Indiana tomorrow. I'm just curious.
- 2:59Speaker 2: This is a mammoth game for Matt Rule and the
- 3:03Speaker 2: entire state of Nebraska.
- 3:05Speaker 3: This is mammoth, man.
- 3:06Speaker 4: It's been seven years, you know, I promise things. Nebraska
- 3:11Speaker 4: has not beaten a ranked team in a decade.
- 3:14Speaker 2: Matt Rule is 2-25 in his college career versus ranked teams.
- 3:19Speaker 2: So they all, Matt, the whole state, they all got
- 3:22Speaker 2: something to prove. Texas A & M, Mizzou, that's on
- 3:26Speaker 2: ABC at noon tomorrow. Shortly after noon at 1245, you
- 3:30Speaker 2: get the South Carolina-Florida game on the SEC Network. And
- 3:33Speaker 2: then Old Dominion, App State, ESPN Plus at 1 o'clock.
- 3:38Speaker 2: You know, it's a game-changer bone that they're starting to
- 3:41Speaker 2: include the ESPN Plus games online. with some of the
- 3:44Speaker 2: streaming providers. So I can now, on DirecTV Stream, record
- 3:50Speaker 2: ESPN Plus games. That's awesome. Some people won't give a damn,
- 3:54Speaker 2: but that's.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Kind of cool.
- 3:55Speaker 4: For example, on YouTube TV last night, Matt, Duke Belmont
- 3:58Speaker 4: was on YouTube TV instead of having to go... to
- 4:01Speaker 4: the ESPN app and just watch Duke there, you could
- 4:04Speaker 4: put it on the YouTube TV last night, which is
- 4:07Speaker 4: a huge deal rather than having to jump around because
- 4:10Speaker 4: Bucs Cowboys was also on. So having two TVs, having
- 4:17Speaker 4: that one there that could be on YouTube TV is
- 4:20Speaker 4: a huge deal. Plus, you can include them in multi-views. So, like,
- 4:23Speaker 4: if I want to watch the app game as one
- 4:24Speaker 4: of my multi-view, you can now do it.
- 4:26Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be a separate device.
- 4:28Speaker 4: Because when it was just on the ESPN app, it
- 4:30Speaker 4: was a pain in the tuchus to have to jump
- 4:32Speaker 4: all around.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Yeah, so I like that. Life is much better when
- 4:35Speaker 3: you're multi-viewing, baby.
- 4:36Speaker 2: I like that little couch potato to tricks of the
- 4:38Speaker 2: trade right there, baby. All right, so late Saturday, window bone. Oklahoma, Texas,
- 4:44Speaker 2: Red River, 330. That one, I expect kind of ugliness
- 4:48Speaker 2: and a lot of defense there. in that game and
- 4:50Speaker 2: i expect texas to be.
- 4:51Speaker 4: Less ugly sometimes be unpredictable though you never know.
- 4:55Speaker 3: What may happen in that game sometimes that's uh i.
- 4:57Speaker 4: Think texas should handle business but we've seen before that
- 5:02Speaker 4: expect the unexpected when those two.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Teams unexpected would be john matier not turning the ball
- 5:07Speaker 2: over are you are you getting that crazy good point
- 5:10Speaker 2: I think tight for a while, low scoring, but Oklahoma, man,
- 5:13Speaker 2: that offense is a mess. Texas' offense ain't great, Bone.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Their defense is. That Oklahoma offense is a mess. UCLA, Oregon,
- 5:22Speaker 2: it's on CBS. Very interesting. Raiola starting for Oregon. No
- 5:27Speaker 2: Dante Moore. Ole Miss, Vandy, ESPN at 330. Then you
- 5:31Speaker 2: get to some more local interest games. Duke, Georgia Tech,
- 5:34Speaker 2: 330 on ESPN2, we think. But you shared a tweet
- 5:39Speaker 2: with me, Bone, from a weather person. It's going to
- 5:43Speaker 2: be nasty weather in Atlanta right around game time.
- 5:45Speaker 4: Yeah, the hurricane effect could be there in Atlanta. So
- 5:51Speaker 4: we'll see what time that game actually does kick off.
- 5:53Speaker 4: It is going to be raining. What is it, 40-mile-per-hour winds?
- 5:56Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:58Speaker 4: A lot of running, though, in that game, and that
- 6:01Speaker 4: will benefit Nate Shepard against Georgia Tech's defense. He may
- 6:04Speaker 4: run anyway, obviously. Georgia Tech's run defense is horrible, too,
- 6:07Speaker 4: one of the worst in the ACC.
- 6:10Speaker 3: He could run for 200 tomorrow. Definitely. Definitely. Virginia Tech,
- 6:15Speaker 3: Cal at 330.
- 6:16Speaker 4: The Hokies might not even have to play against JKS
- 6:19Speaker 4: in that game.
- 6:20Speaker 2: He's questionable. Charlotte, North Texas, ESPN Plus at 330. I
- 6:25Speaker 2: am currently saying a prayer. for charlotte they are 28
- 6:29Speaker 2: point underdogs in this game um and then let's get
- 6:33Speaker 2: to tennessee arkansas 415 sc network i don't know if
- 6:36Speaker 2: you're a tennessee fan or arkansas fan there you go
- 6:38Speaker 2: and then saturday night you've got um uh you've got
- 6:43Speaker 2: george alabama obviously the showcase 7 30 on abc you've
- 6:48Speaker 2: got how about this sneaky good game lsu kentucky interesting
- 6:51Speaker 2: to me at seven o'clock you got.
- 6:53Speaker 3: Am i wrong to like kentucky in that game Probably.
- 6:57Speaker 3: Is that game in Lexington? Probably, but it's interesting.
- 7:01Speaker 2: It's definitely interesting being at Kentucky, and they're hot right now.
- 7:06Speaker 2: But let's see. We've got Charlotte FC, FC Dallas tomorrow.
- 7:11Speaker 2: They're back in action after a week off. Canes tomorrow
- 7:14Speaker 2: night against Chicago as well. And feel free to watch
- 7:18Speaker 2: USC and Penn State. How is Penn State favored in
- 7:21Speaker 2: this football game, Bo?
- 7:23Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. That's a good question. I watch
- 7:27Speaker 3: Penn State play.
- 7:28Speaker 2: I'm not sure they can beat Panther Bo's Purdue Boilermakers
- 7:30Speaker 2: right now. They have looked so terrible the last game
- 7:34Speaker 2: and a half.
- 7:35Speaker 4: It is the whiteout game, right, for Penn State? So
- 7:38Speaker 4: obviously it's going to be a crazy environment. USC did
- 7:42Speaker 4: beat Washington last week in a very close game late,
- 7:45Speaker 4: despite having one of the worst tackling efforts on a
- 7:47Speaker 4: play I have ever seen in my life. But yet
- 7:50Speaker 4: USC did win last week. They basically escorted a player
- 7:53Speaker 4: to the end zone for Washington. Yeah, I'm not saying
- 7:55Speaker 4: USC's great.
- 7:57Speaker 3: At all, right?
- 7:58Speaker 2: I've been skeptical since the summer. I've been skeptical for
- 8:01Speaker 2: years of Lincoln Riley's USC. But I'm telling you, Penn
- 8:05Speaker 2: State looks god-awful. I hope they can show out for
- 8:09Speaker 2: the national audience. Do want to mention Sunday, obviously, NFL.
- 8:15Speaker 2: But you've got... The NASCAR Cup Series back on the Oval.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Very excited about that. You've got the Hurricanes playing Sunday night,
- 8:24Speaker 2: and you've got the Hornets hosting the Bucs in a
- 8:27Speaker 2: little Sunday night.
- 8:28Speaker 3: Preseason action too, Bonesy.
- 8:31Speaker 4: What a way to end your weekend with a little
- 8:32Speaker 4: preseason pregame action also. There you go, baby. Get to
- 8:36Speaker 4: Bowman on a Sunday night. A little 6 o'clock pregame
- 8:39Speaker 4: from the bone, KB? Set your clock like I'm one
- 8:42Speaker 4: of the 60 Minutes correspondents coming on.
- 8:45Speaker 3: I like it. I like it. I'm Morley Safer. That's
- 8:48Speaker 3: a good pull, man. Love that pull? I like that name, too,
- 8:51Speaker 3: Morley Safer. Morley Safer.
- 8:53Speaker 4: I know a lot of the names back from when
- 8:54Speaker 4: I was a child, and I would see them come
- 8:56Speaker 4: on after football. Oh, you weren't actually watching it. You
- 8:58Speaker 4: just heard the names. No, I'm Morley Safer. I think
- 9:02Speaker 4: there was a guy. What was the guy's name? I
- 9:03Speaker 4: was going to say not Ed O'Bannon. Who was the
- 9:06Speaker 4: guy on there?
- 9:07Speaker 3: Ed Bradley. Ed O'Bannon. That was a UCLA player.
