- 0:01Speaker 1: College football fans, Welcome back to the College Ball Show.
- 0:06Speaker 1: He's Marshall, I'm Chris, and we're here to talk what
- 0:09Speaker 1: else some college football?
- 0:11Speaker 2: You know, Week two was seen.
- 0:13Speaker 1: As like there's only one ring versus ring matchup, and
- 0:19Speaker 1: did you see some of these blowouts? I mean, you know,
- 0:23Speaker 1: sixty seventy points in college football has been done plenty
- 0:26Speaker 1: of times. But my point is, you know it's supposed
- 0:31Speaker 1: to be like a ho hum, nonchalant. We don't tell
- 0:34Speaker 1: that to South Florida or Army or almost Troy or
- 0:40Speaker 1: the Baylor SMU game. I mean, plenty of upsets. I
- 0:47Speaker 1: can't believe Clemson almost got beat. That Michigan State BC
- 0:51Speaker 1: game was awesome. We got upsets, so it was a
- 0:53Speaker 1: really fun, fun Week two. We'll start with the recap
- 0:57Speaker 1: from that and the fallout from that. There's some fallout
- 1:02Speaker 1: in Florida, that's for sure, and then of course we'll
- 1:05Speaker 1: look to Week three.
- 1:06Speaker 3: Georgia, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Texas A and m LSU Florida, Miami,
- 1:14Speaker 3: South Florida, Vandy at South Carolina. Clemson's got a tough
- 1:18Speaker 3: one on the road at Georgia Tech and so on.
- 1:22Speaker 3: There are some hardcore barn Burners, and of course the
- 1:26Speaker 3: against the spread.
- 1:27Speaker 1: I got about three or four of them. I've only
- 1:30Speaker 1: bet one, but I'm kind of eyeballing that. So we're
- 1:33Speaker 1: gonna get to it in just a second. Talking college ball, obviously,
- 1:41Speaker 1: the Vikings are about to kick off in about an
- 1:43Speaker 1: hour or so, as long as the field holds up.

- 3:01Speaker 1: how are you doing on this fine day? We got
- 3:04Speaker 1: the Vikes coming up. We'll see how that goes. But
- 3:09Speaker 1: like I said, it was supposed to be a who
- 3:10Speaker 1: hum affair here, and we got some damn good games
- 3:15Speaker 1: like pretty much throughout the day.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Yeah, we we did. Man, I'm doing good. A little
- 3:21Speaker 4: crazy parts of life here and there, but for this show,
- 3:24Speaker 4: I'm doing good. I was ready to sing Country Roads again.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I don't know if our listeners ready, but they they Man,
- 3:32Speaker 4: that was embarrassing. They went into Ohio and they got smacked.
- 3:37Speaker 4: So there's no Country Roads. But I will try to
- 3:39Speaker 4: find a way to play next week. Can I get
- 3:41Speaker 4: a rule?
- 3:42Speaker 1: Can I get a new rule? No more power teams
- 3:45Speaker 1: against smaller teams? Okay? Because that threw me off, dude,
- 3:48Speaker 1: you know, but it's my own fault because the last
- 3:51Speaker 1: two weeks I haven't gone with what my gut tells me.
- 3:56Speaker 1: So that is my fault. I'm not trying to make excuses.
- 3:59Speaker 1: I literally said I saw that team against Rutgers. I
- 4:03Speaker 1: literally said it, but the power thing fucked me up.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Oh no, but it's still power. It's a power yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 1: Uh oh man, no more, that's a rule. No more
- 4:13Speaker 1: power against small school please.
- 4:16Speaker 4: Okay, So it could be power versus power, but not
- 4:18Speaker 4: powered very small or small verall.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Okay, got you. That's fair. It's fair, you know, small
- 4:23Speaker 1: versus small as a segment. But it's tough in September.
- 4:25Speaker 1: I totally get it.
- 4:26Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, so but overall, man, Aside from that, after
- 4:30Speaker 4: that game was done, I laid in my new Man cave,
- 4:34Speaker 4: which has three TVs, and I.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Just watched a lot of college football.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Even got a nap in a half an hour for
- 4:40Speaker 4: like two hours as one of those really good power naps.
- 4:42Speaker 4: And yeah, I think my main hot take takeaway is,
- 4:49Speaker 4: uh man, I want to go to a game at
- 4:53Speaker 4: at Starkfield, because I do think that is one of
- 4:55Speaker 4: those quietly underrated, not really underrated venues. But I remember
- 5:00Speaker 4: playing high school football in Alaska, actually middle school, and
- 5:03Speaker 4: we played a school.
- 5:04Speaker 1: I think it was Bartlett.
- 5:05Speaker 4: I can't remember the middle school name, but all their
- 5:08Speaker 4: parents had cow bells.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Yea.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Ever since, I've hated cow bells. So I don't know
- 5:12Speaker 4: if I could sit through a game in Starkville or
- 5:15Speaker 4: maybe bringing ear plugs, or.
- 5:17Speaker 1: They could play a team you don't like, like Penn
- 5:19Speaker 1: State or Clemson or some shit and the ringing that ship.
- 5:24Speaker 4: Yeah, well with like the Will Ferrell T shirt. But
- 5:29Speaker 4: that was a lit fun game that we'll get to.
- 5:32Speaker 4: But man, those Cowbo people were making noise, and credit
- 5:35Speaker 4: to them because that is a school who had the
- 5:38Speaker 4: Mike Leach passing then they had. They've been really bad,
- 5:41Speaker 4: so it is always kind of fun to see a
- 5:44Speaker 4: program who's a pretty top like when Dak Prescott was
- 5:47Speaker 4: there and after they were they were pretty top tier
- 5:49Speaker 4: and they've kind of fallen down. So it's fun to
- 5:51Speaker 4: see that placed alive. And that was a really fun
- 5:53Speaker 4: game of college football. And that was the nightcap, So
- 5:56Speaker 4: it was a really great college football Saturday.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Chris. When we get talked about, there you go, and
- 6:01Speaker 1: obviously we will start with rain versus ring. The Washington
- 6:06Speaker 1: State transfer made good on his promise or promise for
- 6:12Speaker 1: him by beating Michigan in Soonerville. You know, Oklahoma got
- 6:18Speaker 1: a nice, nice win. And you know, I thought, because
- 6:23Speaker 1: it could take that seventy five yard rush away, which
- 6:26Speaker 1: that's so easy to say, Well, if you take the
- 6:29Speaker 1: one thing I don't like is if you take that
- 6:31Speaker 1: forty yard and that's sixty two and that you know,
- 6:33Speaker 1: when people do that, you're like, yeah, but that's three
- 6:35Speaker 1: fucking long plays.
- 6:36Speaker 2: You can't just take those away.
- 6:38Speaker 1: But when you look at that one run nineteen a
- 6:41Speaker 1: one twenty five, six point six, that's good, right for
- 6:45Speaker 1: the transfer Hayes from Alabama. But when you take that
- 6:48Speaker 1: seventy five away, then you're looking at eighteen for like
- 6:51Speaker 1: fifty something. You know, So I did think beyond that,
- 6:55Speaker 1: they did a pretty good job. We know their defense
- 6:58Speaker 1: is legit, but you know, the transfer along with the
- 7:05Speaker 1: talent that we knew they had at wide receiver if
- 7:08Speaker 1: some of them were healthy or you know, new ones
- 7:10Speaker 1: they brought in or they still I think they still
- 7:13Speaker 1: have one, is it Burker? I can't remember, but still
- 7:16Speaker 1: have one coming back. But overall, you know, for what
- 7:19Speaker 1: it was, yeah, you're going against a true freshman quarterback
- 7:23Speaker 1: who is going to take his lumps, but you know
- 7:26Speaker 1: it's still a solid win. Man still as solid when
- 7:28Speaker 1: it could have been wider too if it wasn't for
- 7:31Speaker 1: a turnover too. You know that helped Michigan right there.
- 7:35Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just impressed. I know you were talking
- 7:38Speaker 4: before the show that you'd seen Materier play last year.
- 7:40Speaker 4: I never had. That was the first game I've seen
- 7:42Speaker 4: him play. Hey, and for the hype that like Klubnik
- 7:46Speaker 4: and arch Man, you and all these guys been getting
- 7:48Speaker 4: this year, he's been one of the Beerlin quarterbacks me
- 7:51Speaker 4: so far, with neus Meyer and Pavia. So if I
- 7:55Speaker 4: was doing sec quarterback rankings, I would probably have those
- 7:58Speaker 4: three for my top three so far. Those guys don't
- 8:00Speaker 4: play for Florida or.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Texas.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You know, it's early, but it was just good to
- 8:09Speaker 4: see a guy that he's very mobile, and he's go
- 8:11Speaker 4: to his feet and has an arm like I just
- 8:14Speaker 4: he looked impressive. And I know, as you said before
- 8:16Speaker 4: the show, Michigan's offense has nothing to brag about still
- 8:19Speaker 4: like last year. But defensively they're still a pretty solid team.
- 8:23Speaker 4: They're not a joke by any means. They did have
- 8:27Speaker 4: their quarterback get picked on for quite a few plays.
- 8:29Speaker 4: At number ten, I think it would have been there
- 8:31Speaker 4: DBNA left kind of got burnt like three or four times. Yeah,
- 8:34Speaker 4: when he makes a single tackle, he celebrates like he's
- 8:36Speaker 4: dene Like, I don't get that, dude, if you keep
- 8:38Speaker 4: getting smoked, don't know why you're dancing around after making
- 8:41Speaker 4: a tackle. But hey for oh you, Like we said
- 8:45Speaker 4: last week, Chris, they needed this one A because last
- 8:49Speaker 4: year they had kind of some bad luck and B
- 8:51Speaker 4: they have a really hard schedule, so A, this helps
- 8:54Speaker 4: out the resume and B you're gonna take some losses
- 8:56Speaker 4: this year. More likely you have to go to South Carolina.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Yet go to Alabama. I'll be there role Tide or
- 9:02Speaker 4: Boomer sooner.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Uh.
- 9:04Speaker 4: And you also have to go to Tennessee. So odds
- 9:09Speaker 4: of winning at Bama Tennessee in South Carolina. Well, if
- 9:12Speaker 4: he does that, shit give him Heisman. Okay, but it's
- 9:15Speaker 4: pretty slim. So that was a good one to win
- 9:18Speaker 4: a rivalry, not rivalry, but a fellow big name school
- 9:21Speaker 4: in Michigan.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Yea.
- 9:23Speaker 4: And we're seeing the another year now of Venables defense
- 9:28Speaker 4: like kind of showing off what he can do. And
- 9:31Speaker 4: this is I believe this is his third year and
- 9:33Speaker 4: now it's kind of recruiting the people he wants, and
- 9:36Speaker 4: it's just he's putting together a pretty well oiled machine.
- 9:39Speaker 4: That defense looked pretty good, and offense they did what
- 9:41Speaker 4: they need to. And if you're Michigan, like, yeah, obviously
- 9:44Speaker 4: you didn't. You know, you didn't get ran out the gym.
- 9:46Speaker 4: But that kid, I think that their their quarterback has speed,
- 9:52Speaker 4: but the passing part still as a long ways to
- 9:54Speaker 4: go for now so far.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. You could sell on some of the
- 9:58Speaker 1: some of the balls he delivered, we're like, oh okay, yeah.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Other times like his delivery is a little funky, but
- 10:07Speaker 1: also there's like one guy to throw to. You know,
- 10:10Speaker 1: it's kind of like last year where you're like, dude,
- 10:13Speaker 1: these are the guys. These are the guys that you
- 10:15Speaker 1: you're starting a true freshman and these are your these
- 10:18Speaker 1: are your targets.
- 10:19Speaker 2: You know that they are a little funky. But yeah,
- 10:22Speaker 2: that I'm.
- 10:23Speaker 1: Glad you said that because Moser, like, you know, the
- 10:27Speaker 1: the Heisman is wide open, just like the National Championship,
- 10:31Speaker 1: but maybe not as wide open obviously. But you know,
- 10:36Speaker 1: he on a couple of sites that I saw, he
- 10:39Speaker 1: was number one now and I would just pump the
- 10:43Speaker 1: braks because of what you said the schedule's crazy. Like
- 10:46Speaker 1: we talked about Florida rightfully so, but their schedules crazy too,
- 10:50Speaker 1: Like you know, they have a ton of whatever you
- 10:53Speaker 1: think of ranked teams and where they're ranked and all that.
- 10:56Speaker 1: They got a ton of fucking tough games like you mentioned,
- 10:58Speaker 1: So we're gonna go to the SEC. In Florida, we
- 11:04Speaker 1: knew that they should have a better team this year.
- 11:08Speaker 1: They returned their their quarterback who looks like a damn
- 11:12Speaker 1: good quarterback. And then South Florida who got their guy
- 11:17Speaker 1: Byron brown back who got hurt last year.
- 11:19Speaker 2: Early they were able to.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Run enough they made a big play to get within
- 11:26Speaker 1: you know, to all of a sudden go wow, dude,
- 11:28Speaker 1: they can get in field, low range, and they just
- 11:33Speaker 1: they just found a way. And this is you know,
- 11:36Speaker 1: South Florida on the road last week got it done.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Boise States not as good, you know as they were
- 11:44Speaker 1: last year. But still, you know, even looking at that
- 11:48Speaker 1: score you mentioned that last week, we talked about how
- 11:51Speaker 1: it really wasn't the score doesn't necessarily I mean, they
- 11:55Speaker 1: won straight up, but you know the score, it wasn't
- 11:58Speaker 1: a blowout when you watch the game. But to do
- 12:02Speaker 1: that back to back and I'm just impressed. Man in
- 12:07Speaker 1: South Florida showed signs last year in the Alabama game
- 12:11Speaker 1: and even a half of Miami when Miami still had
- 12:15Speaker 1: a pretty good defense that first month until it completely
- 12:17Speaker 1: fell apart.
- 12:19Speaker 2: It was a great win man that coach.
- 12:22Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, man, I highly doubt that coach
- 12:24Speaker 1: is gonna be no offense to the South Florida fans.
- 12:28Speaker 1: But I highly doubt that coach is going to be
- 12:30Speaker 1: there much longer because he's just gonna get a job.
- 12:35Speaker 1: It might be right there, it might be Daterville. But
- 12:39Speaker 1: but what did you think of this man? Because uh,
- 12:42Speaker 1: you know, good old Billy is back on the hot
- 12:44Speaker 1: seat real quick.
- 12:46Speaker 4: You know, I think this is that ultimate look ahead
- 12:50Speaker 4: spot where normally you can say, hey, like, guys, look
- 12:52Speaker 4: at our schedule. We have a tough game next week.
- 12:56Speaker 4: We have like a tough fucking month.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Tough from here.
- 13:01Speaker 4: So I really do regret now looking to bet this
- 13:03Speaker 4: one because the point spread was high at seventeen, and
- 13:07Speaker 4: you literally you have coming up. You have LSU, Miami,
- 13:12Speaker 4: Texas and Texas A and m like, you have four
- 13:15Speaker 4: games that are gonna be really hard locations, and he
- 13:17Speaker 4: host one of them. But it's like, okay, so clearly
- 13:20Speaker 4: you would view this as all right, this is our
- 13:22Speaker 4: one game that's gonna be kind of a walk in
- 13:25Speaker 4: the park. We're playing like us our step sister program
- 13:27Speaker 4: in the same state.
- 13:29Speaker 1: I don't even think.
- 13:29Speaker 4: This is really a rivalry, but still it's kind of like,
- 13:31Speaker 4: you know, there's probably some South Florida kids a dinger
- 13:34Speaker 4: get recruited by Florida that are like, screw you, guys, we're.
- 13:36Speaker 1: Gonna cho Arrival high schools or whatever. Yeah.
- 13:40Speaker 4: Yeah, And just the fact that this game was you know,
- 13:43Speaker 4: nine to six and a half. Obviously for us up
- 13:45Speaker 4: you're like, okay, we're in this game. But then the
- 13:48Speaker 4: stupid It reminds me of the of the guy Chuck
- 13:51Speaker 4: and the Shoe, which Florida did a couple of years ago.
- 13:53Speaker 4: Againt LSU and hell a couple of years two years
- 13:56Speaker 4: ago I played when they played FSU, they had the
- 13:58Speaker 4: super Pols. And this is kind of a bit of
- 14:01Speaker 4: a generalization where you've heard me for but Florida has
- 14:04Speaker 4: not always been the well most well coached team. They
- 14:07Speaker 4: it seems like for the past timeple of years they're well.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Seems kind of like the dumb penalties. Now, I know
- 14:11Speaker 4: a lot of college teams do it, but like just
- 14:14Speaker 4: that they seem to have not always the most properly
- 14:17Speaker 4: smart coach kids. They're not like like we've never done
- 14:21Speaker 4: a show Chris where we said a knick staban coach.
- 14:24Speaker 4: Alabama team took a lot of stupid penalties. That's just
- 14:27Speaker 4: well the down.
- 14:27Speaker 1: The stretch they were averaging like nine or ten of
- 14:30Speaker 1: them though, but overall his time being.
- 14:32Speaker 4: There, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, and fundamentally and then you
- 14:35Speaker 4: had one of the big plays of the game was
- 14:37Speaker 4: a Florida kids spit on the guy in the final
- 14:39Speaker 4: drivet They led to USFS winning field goal. Like, yeah, dude,
- 14:44Speaker 4: your head coach on the hot seat. You know, you've
- 14:46Speaker 4: had some moments in the over the last couple of
- 14:48Speaker 4: years where you have that little moment of weakness. You
- 14:51Speaker 4: can't do that, and the spit thing like you know
- 14:53Speaker 4: we had it's happened in the Cowboys game last week.
- 14:55Speaker 1: It's like it's just stupid.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Like, sure, sometimes holding penalty I get those be annoying
- 15:00Speaker 4: to watch as a fan or p I, but when
- 15:03Speaker 4: you spin a guy like there's no reason for it,
- 15:05Speaker 4: and like you know, and it's Okay, so now you
- 15:08Speaker 4: took an L and now you have four games from
- 15:11Speaker 4: hell where you have yeah, L s U or LSU. Right,
- 15:14Speaker 4: you're going to Death Valley now, so have fun there.
- 15:16Speaker 4: Like good luck Billy, Like he probably doesn't deserve it,
- 15:19Speaker 4: but if he gets through this year, I don't know,
- 15:21Speaker 4: we'll see. But man, you're you already have a brutal
- 15:24Speaker 4: schedule and he lost one you shouldn't have. Uh, that
- 15:26Speaker 4: goes into preparation, the mental approach, and hey, that's tough.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I'm not a Gators fan, so I'm not crying for him,
- 15:31Speaker 4: but it's not getting easier anytime soon for the next
- 15:35Speaker 4: I don't know, five weeks.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean their whole schedule is pretty rough, man.
- 15:40Speaker 1: And you just couldn't. You couldn't lose that game, you know.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Now that's not to say they can't. Yeah, I doubt
- 15:50Speaker 1: they're gonna go in the Death Valley, but you know,
- 15:52Speaker 1: could they upset Miami, sure or some of those other teams.
- 15:55Speaker 1: They could, but.
- 15:58Speaker 4: Like A and m's not world beaters. But still going
- 16:00Speaker 4: to Kyle Field that that's not easy.
- 16:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Well, and I forgot to follow up.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Speaking of the noise, we would do pots and pans
- 16:09Speaker 1: or like you know, hit have pans or pots. And yeah,
- 16:15Speaker 1: we that actually started in volleyball, the girls volleyball.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Team in high school.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Yeah, because we would go to those games, if you
- 16:24Speaker 1: know what I mean.
- 16:24Speaker 2: Now I was in high school.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not talking about it now, Okay, in high school,
- 16:30Speaker 1: same age. But yeah, man, that that was crazy. We're
- 16:38Speaker 1: gonna okay, Clemson, Clemson's down in that bite, you know,
- 16:45Speaker 1: in that like down big considering who you're playing. Like
- 16:49Speaker 1: that ship was crazy and I understand you know, they
- 16:54Speaker 1: had that wide receiver go out. I'm not trying to
- 16:57Speaker 1: downplay that, but it's Troy. Know they did get a
- 17:01Speaker 1: running game going. I think one of them had like
- 17:04Speaker 1: a buck twelve or something like that. But you know,
- 17:10Speaker 1: I remember I just said, you know you can you
- 17:13Speaker 1: can have return well actually I think I said this
- 17:16Speaker 1: before we record, but you can have returning talent, right
- 17:20Speaker 1: and and all that. You can have returning talent. But
- 17:24Speaker 1: like Illinois had a good year for them, very good
- 17:28Speaker 1: year for them, and they returned a bunch of talent.
- 17:31Speaker 2: Now Clemson returned a bunch of talent.
- 17:33Speaker 1: But you wouldn't go and say that was some kind
- 17:36Speaker 1: of Banner year for them because they they beat you,
- 17:39Speaker 1: that was about it, you know, Otherwise they lost the
- 17:42Speaker 1: other every other ranked team that they faced. Yeah, so
- 17:46Speaker 1: I did get a little hyped up within all that
- 17:51Speaker 1: coming back, and I could see the first game how
- 17:56Speaker 1: your offense would be effective by uh not having that
- 18:00Speaker 1: stud receiver. But when you're facing Troy, that's not an
- 18:04Speaker 1: excuse because you got other receivers. It's not looking good
- 18:09Speaker 1: for them, man, I mean this was this is like
- 18:12Speaker 1: what's the halftime score? What in the what?
- 18:14Speaker 2: What is this?
- 18:16Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:17Speaker 4: Uh, I'm never gonna shed a single tear for Davis.
- 18:21Speaker 1: So I enjoyed. They're suffered. You knew that.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Thanks for leading me into it. They you were down
- 18:27Speaker 4: sixteen to three and a half. I know they had
- 18:28Speaker 4: a bit of like an hour rain delay, so clearly
- 18:31Speaker 4: that was not effective for Clemson either. But I mean
- 18:35Speaker 4: this is another year where you know, and he even
- 18:38Speaker 4: tried to bring in some more transfer portal kids this year,
- 18:40Speaker 4: so he's kind of maybe trying to switch them all
- 18:42Speaker 4: up a little bit. But if you're Clemson, you got
- 18:48Speaker 4: the win, but it wasn't impressive, so maybe go show
- 18:54Speaker 4: like what you know was was LSU LSU's win impressive,
- 18:59Speaker 4: like this is like I know, they're kind of like
- 19:01Speaker 4: and only a decent team for their own division, like
- 19:04Speaker 4: they've they've they've been in their conference title game for
- 19:06Speaker 4: a handful of years, a lot over the last couple
- 19:08Speaker 4: of times. But you know, nothing to brag about. So
- 19:11Speaker 4: when you're down sixteen to three, it's like another year
- 19:14Speaker 4: of Okay, well you're gonna beat up on the teams
- 19:17Speaker 4: and they used to see who aren't ranked. But when
- 19:19Speaker 4: you start the year off and people are saying, how
- 19:22Speaker 4: your quarterback and Penn State's quarterback are the best in
- 19:24Speaker 4: the country, and look, dabvill is returning the most talents
- 19:27Speaker 4: in the country. Well, you haven't really seen it yet
- 19:30Speaker 4: because you scored ten points for CELSU and you were
- 19:34Speaker 4: down thirteen to Troy. I'm not saying it can't turned around,
- 19:37Speaker 4: but it's not been a good start to Clemson to this,
- 19:40Speaker 4: it's not been a great start to the season for
- 19:42Speaker 4: Clemson yet. It's early, but you haven't looked impressive at
- 19:46Speaker 4: all yet.
- 19:48Speaker 1: It's early, and they better get to the second round
- 19:51Speaker 1: because if they don't, and they just they so they
- 19:54Speaker 1: did what he wanted to do. They did, They got
- 19:56Speaker 1: to spend a couple of years developing guys and keeping them.
- 20:00Speaker 1: Like you said, he even went into I think it
- 20:02Speaker 1: was a defensive end or something. He went to the
- 20:03Speaker 1: transfer portal two years ago. He brought in Riley and off,
- 20:07Speaker 1: you know, someone outside of the coaching thing, you know,
- 20:10Speaker 1: which was a big thing. He normally didn't do that,
- 20:13Speaker 1: so you thought he was making minor tweaks. But if
- 20:18Speaker 1: they don't, if they don't go ten and two and
- 20:22Speaker 1: win a playoff game, it's just it's I'm not gonna
- 20:27Speaker 1: say they're all gonna like people are gonna go pro
- 20:30Speaker 1: of course, but they might really start. He might just
- 20:33Speaker 1: start losing the players, like how many more speeches can
- 20:38Speaker 1: you give? And all that. You know, it happens, so
- 20:41Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, man, It's it's not looking
- 20:44Speaker 1: good though, that's for sure. Iowa State in Iowa had
- 20:48Speaker 1: the plus four thank you for plus four and a
- 20:50Speaker 1: half Iowa, thank you very much, ugly game. We know
- 20:54Speaker 1: that that's how that game goes, you know. I guess
- 20:59Speaker 1: you can kind of look at Iowa State and say,
- 21:01Speaker 1: hey man, they're doing good. Now. Two of their wins
- 21:04Speaker 1: might not look that good at the end of the
- 21:06Speaker 1: year right because of k State and what.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Iowa looks like.
- 21:09Speaker 1: But right now, man, they spent whatever the whatever the
- 21:13Speaker 1: amount they spent on dude from South Dakota. Wow, it's
- 21:18Speaker 1: not paying off for them right now. He had forty
- 21:21Speaker 1: four passing yards in the first game and then he
- 21:24Speaker 1: didn't have me I don't think he has two hundred
- 21:26Speaker 1: on the season in two games. And don't get me wrong,
- 21:29Speaker 1: like before last year, the last handful of years, the Gophers,
- 21:34Speaker 1: they couldn't passwards the shit either, you know what I mean.
- 21:36Speaker 1: So I know how it feels. But Iowa used to
- 21:41Speaker 1: have a serviceable game manager that could once in a
- 21:45Speaker 1: while hit a deep ball, go to the tight end,
- 21:48Speaker 1: run the ball and move the chains, hold the ball,
- 21:52Speaker 1: you know that type of thing. Now they had a
- 21:53Speaker 1: great running game last year and that guy's in the
- 21:57Speaker 1: pros now. But kudos Iowa State, you know, getting another
- 22:02Speaker 1: win under their belt. Man.
- 22:05Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just yes, well crabs them. But man,
- 22:11Speaker 4: the hype for the quarterback, he just hasn't looked that
- 22:14Speaker 4: good to me.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Like it's hard to rip the guy whos undefeated.
- 22:17Speaker 4: But like Rock Roco, yeah, Rock, like eighteen for twenty
- 22:21Speaker 4: seven for a buck thirty four, Like, hey, you have
- 22:24Speaker 4: beat you have beat Iowa, who's a huge rival, and
- 22:27Speaker 4: you beat Case State.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Again.
- 22:30Speaker 4: I really thought the case State kind of blew that game. Now,
- 22:34Speaker 4: the win vers Iowa is a rivalry game, and that
- 22:36Speaker 4: is worth getting in credit because if if Carolina ever
- 22:38Speaker 4: beats do guy give him credits? So that is a
- 22:40Speaker 4: big one.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I just I want to see the twelve.
- 22:46Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to see a little more from their
- 22:48Speaker 4: quarterback and maybe he has potential to improve.
- 22:51Speaker 1: And he did lose those two wide receivers too.
- 22:54Speaker 4: True, You're right, so that you know they seem to
- 22:57Speaker 4: have either a running back or wide receiver go pro
- 23:00Speaker 4: every year, which is credit to them recruiting in yeah,
- 23:04Speaker 4: real bumtown nowhere because no one you know you're going
- 23:07Speaker 4: to ames like holy shit, Hilton Magic is an exactly
- 23:10Speaker 4: exotic look if you're from California, Florida or Texas. Uh So,
- 23:15Speaker 4: I do want to give always Stay credit. I just
- 23:17Speaker 4: think their quarterback is maybe not like what you'd expect
- 23:21Speaker 4: of a team that's ranked that high, but hey, he's
- 23:23Speaker 4: winning games. And whether it's maybe the pretiest thing or not,
- 23:27Speaker 4: that that matters for something because he has faced a
- 23:30Speaker 4: pretty decent schedule so far. So I just want to
- 23:32Speaker 4: maybe see Iowas say, get pressed a little bit more
- 23:34Speaker 4: because I think that quarterbacks then have to maybe continue
- 23:37Speaker 4: to step up. They want to keep the ranking they have.
- 23:39Speaker 4: But as we said, Chris, that game will be tied
- 23:41Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. I couldn't find that beat because
- 23:43Speaker 4: it would have hit. Obviously, the only thing that won
- 23:46Speaker 4: the game the fourth cour is the field goal. But man,
- 23:48Speaker 4: every year, that thing is close every year.
- 23:51Speaker 1: When they had like a sizeable lead io last year,
- 23:54Speaker 1: remember and they let him come back, and yeah, it's
- 23:56Speaker 1: like a touchdown or ten points is a huge lead
- 23:59Speaker 1: in that game, you know.
- 24:00Speaker 4: And of course it went under. Why we bolt didn't
- 24:02Speaker 4: better our savings on life savings on the under was
- 24:04Speaker 4: I don't know, but like twenty nine points. Think the
- 24:06Speaker 4: under was forty and a half. So as usual, the
- 24:10Speaker 4: cyclone war whatever it is, or the farm more idle
- 24:13Speaker 4: what it? But hey, Gretz Aowa state and if your
- 24:16Speaker 4: Iowa man, that one's that one's tough your quarterback experiment.
- 24:20Speaker 4: Maybe they paid the guy a million roughly possibly.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Either way, they paid him a lot of money.
- 24:25Speaker 4: They paid him a lot of money to come from
- 24:26Speaker 4: South Dakota and it's not going good, and this is
- 24:29Speaker 4: the fan base. Who could we hit one like Jalen
- 24:34Speaker 4: Hurts for Kyler Murray or Chase Dan. Could we get
- 24:36Speaker 4: one kid that kind of just can drop back and
- 24:39Speaker 4: make a pass. No, it's not really their mo.
- 24:40Speaker 1: But I'm an above average Would do you just named
- 24:44Speaker 1: some Heisman Trophy type guys I'm talking about above average? Yeah? Yeah, so,
- 24:48Speaker 1: but then again, if you don't have any many throw
- 24:50Speaker 1: the ball too, like, why.
- 24:51Speaker 2: Would you go there?
- 24:52Speaker 1: You know? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, let's be it.
- 24:54Speaker 4: Yeah, it's got to be hard to pull a quarterback
- 24:56Speaker 4: in Who's a who's a gun slinger? Because what's he
- 24:58Speaker 4: gonna see? I'm gonna have the ball of thirty five times? Yeah,
- 25:01Speaker 4: dude passes to tight ends for five yards Like I'm not.
- 25:04Speaker 4: I'll find someone new, you know.
- 25:06Speaker 1: Yeah, the quarterbacks like I don't want to do punt
- 25:09Speaker 1: return dude. Yeah, let's see how I'm gonna get my
- 25:12Speaker 1: or the wide receiver. I mean, now, I happen to
- 25:15Speaker 1: like a few towns in Iowa. Just for the record,
- 25:18Speaker 1: he was talking about some bum town I happen to
- 25:20Speaker 1: like Iowa. Okay, relatively speaking, you know, you take that
- 25:27Speaker 1: Southeast River Road down in Iowa a little bit. It's
- 25:30Speaker 1: still that real pretty okay, it's not all flat down there,
- 25:36Speaker 1: but anyway, Oh, don't get me wrong, it's still f Iowa,
- 25:39Speaker 1: you know, don't get me wrong. It's just you know,
- 25:42Speaker 1: I do I do some family there. So let's calm
- 25:44Speaker 1: him down a little bit on that. Speaking a quarterback though, right,
- 25:49Speaker 1: speaking a quarterback, Uh, this Sawyer Robinson or Robertson from
- 25:56Speaker 1: from Baylor's just to you know what he put up
- 25:59Speaker 1: forty four tuddies. I'm sure he got some rushing yards
- 26:04Speaker 1: in there too. Baylor, we knew it was gonna be
- 26:09Speaker 1: a track meet, and it sure was. Forty eight to
- 26:12Speaker 1: forty five, fun, fun game, double overtime. Baylor, you know,
- 26:20Speaker 1: avoided what happened to him last year. It felt like
- 26:24Speaker 1: they were gonna go oh and two and then, you know,
- 26:26Speaker 1: because I remember they had a rough start, maybe it
- 26:28Speaker 1: was like two and four, and then they went six
- 26:30Speaker 1: and oh down the stretch and.
- 26:32Speaker 2: It had a lot of people kind of pumped up
- 26:34Speaker 2: for him this year.
- 26:35Speaker 1: But Auburn just put the SmackDown on him last week
- 26:39Speaker 1: and just ran all over him. Now, don't get me wrong,
- 26:43Speaker 1: you know, Smu, you picked up some yards, but it
- 26:47Speaker 1: just wasn't quite what Auburn did to him. So that
- 26:49Speaker 1: was one a fun ass game, you know, definitely had
- 26:54Speaker 1: that big twelve vibe to it, but also a much
- 26:58Speaker 1: needed winning keeps Baylor you know going here because off
- 27:02Speaker 1: of that, you know, off of that first game, it
- 27:05Speaker 1: was like, wow, dude, they might go on too, and
- 27:07Speaker 1: and they and they avoided it and got a nice win. Yeah,
- 27:11Speaker 1: that that has to play people this year rather than
- 27:14Speaker 1: last year, you know, and that's gonna that might be trouble.
- 27:18Speaker 2: That might be trouble, you know.
- 27:19Speaker 1: And they don't have as many Miami Hurricanes on their
- 27:21Speaker 1: team now, so you know that's gonna be trouble too,
- 27:24Speaker 1: because remember every damn game, he'd be like, it's the
- 27:26Speaker 1: seventeenth player from the Miami. They have so many Hurricane players, dude.
- 27:33Speaker 4: Well and speaking of quarterbacks like that, that kid's been
- 27:36Speaker 4: holding his own way. That robertson what eight eight passing
- 27:40Speaker 4: touchdowns so far as zero picks almost.
- 27:44Speaker 2: You're starting to or something. He's damn good.
- 27:47Speaker 4: Yeah, that kid can. I'll take him over a lot
- 27:49Speaker 4: of people who were on the top draft warts part
- 27:51Speaker 4: because that that kid's been throwing the ball good and
- 27:54Speaker 4: you can't really put the Auburn loss on him either,
- 27:56Speaker 4: But so he's a too great start. I will say,
- 28:01Speaker 4: you know, if you're SMU, yeah, you're kind of Last
- 28:04Speaker 4: year you had great year as you deserved. You made
- 28:06Speaker 4: the playoffs, but you did kind of have an easier,
- 28:08Speaker 4: lighter schedule. Now you kind of got you know, obviously
- 28:12Speaker 4: Baylor's not the end of the season. It's a non
- 28:14Speaker 4: conference game. But hell, you do have to go to Clemson,
- 28:19Speaker 4: you have to play Miami. Louisville might be okay this year,
- 28:22Speaker 4: you know that, but that's that's about it. So again
- 28:24Speaker 4: you should have a pretty good year again this year.
- 28:26Speaker 4: You don't got to play Georgia Tech. Uh So I
- 28:31Speaker 4: think man, I will say this, Chris, the money they
- 28:34Speaker 4: have there is unlimited. Like I know, I don't really
- 28:37Speaker 4: go to SMU camp as much. I live right down
- 28:39Speaker 4: the road. But they say the amount of money that
- 28:41Speaker 4: they have from boosters there is just it's how much
- 28:44Speaker 4: can we spend whatever you need?
- 28:45Speaker 1: We got it in those jerseys by the way, where
- 28:49Speaker 1: it just says Dallas on the front, like the helmet
- 28:52Speaker 1: and but the jersey those are I like those jerseys.
- 28:56Speaker 4: Dude, I feel that this is just a program that
- 29:00Speaker 4: is back to being relevant again, but still like just
- 29:03Speaker 4: a little bit of ways away, like yeah, yeah, it's
- 29:06Speaker 4: it's okay, you got you gotta, you got a good coach.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I just their schedule was light last year.
- 29:13Speaker 1: But yeah, they're they're they're on the no doubt about it.
- 29:16Speaker 4: Yeah, but again they're only they're only they get Okay,
- 29:20Speaker 4: so this year they got to go to Clemston, which
- 29:21Speaker 4: is not impossible, and you gotta host Miami like like again,
- 29:26Speaker 4: you you might have a chance to to to make
- 29:28Speaker 4: some wise again, so we'll see. And hey if if
- 29:32Speaker 4: like you said for Baylor credits them, well, And the
- 29:35Speaker 4: one thing I'll say to wrap this up is what
- 29:38Speaker 4: before a game gotten overtime asking you had the ball
- 29:42Speaker 4: on like the forty four yard line with like seven
- 29:45Speaker 4: seconds to go, they had one time out in their
- 29:47Speaker 4: pocket and it us to do a half back dive, which.
- 29:52Speaker 1: In college football with the with the time out in your.
- 29:55Speaker 4: Pocket, yes, which to me symbolized Okay, we're about to
- 29:58Speaker 4: see Adam vine Terry or Steven Gestas. He's like some
- 30:02Speaker 4: Patriots dudes, just go out there and kick one or
- 30:05Speaker 4: or my kicker. Uh why am I drawing a blank
- 30:07Speaker 4: on his name right now?
- 30:09Speaker 1: Oh? Sorry?
- 30:11Speaker 4: Now that the dude the dude for the Cowboys? Who's
- 30:13Speaker 4: the stud?
- 30:13Speaker 1: Okay? The Cowboys? Okay?
- 30:14Speaker 4: Anyways, yeah, yeah, uh all right, so as all right,
- 30:18Speaker 4: well they're clearly gonna have faith in their kicker. They
- 30:21Speaker 4: drop the kid out for a fifty seven yard field
- 30:23Speaker 4: goal and he misses it because he's college and fifty
- 30:25Speaker 4: seven is outrageous. And then in the second overtime he
- 30:29Speaker 4: shanks one from off the goal post from like thirty
- 30:32Speaker 4: four yards, and it's just like, you know, as we
- 30:35Speaker 4: were staying for the show, if you have seven seconds
- 30:37Speaker 4: left in one time out, you can get a quick
- 30:39Speaker 4: little ten yard hitch with the whole field, dude, and
- 30:43Speaker 4: there they're they're running back. Dive got him four yards
- 30:46Speaker 4: and they still had three seconds to go. So it
- 30:48Speaker 4: was a really weird play call. And obviously, if you
- 30:51Speaker 4: have like three or four seconds, okay, you probably can't
- 30:53Speaker 4: do a play, But seven seconds or even six you
- 30:55Speaker 4: can get off a pass and have the guy follow
- 30:57Speaker 4: the ground.
- 30:58Speaker 1: You.
- 30:59Speaker 4: Every every football coach I know this for sure does
- 31:01Speaker 4: a two minute drill.
- 31:02Speaker 1: So that was.
- 31:03Speaker 4: Maybe a little bit of a not conservative but an
- 31:06Speaker 4: odd play call and came back to buy him in
- 31:08Speaker 4: the butt because, like I said in second OT, you
- 31:11Speaker 4: shanked the field goal and then Baylor comfortably drove down
- 31:14Speaker 4: and kind of took took the wins.
- 31:15Speaker 2: So I think that was culture conservative.
- 31:18Speaker 4: That might be one of those play calls you regret,
- 31:20Speaker 4: uh and came back to bite them. So I might
- 31:24Speaker 4: try to go out to a gamer this year though,
- 31:25Speaker 4: maybe when they do host Miami. That could be a
- 31:27Speaker 4: fun one to go see because they're not selling out
- 31:30Speaker 4: like crazy yet, but it'd be a fun, fun festivity
- 31:33Speaker 4: to check out. But hey, if you're Baylor again, maybe
- 31:37Speaker 4: your goal is to get ranked this year. Are your
- 31:39Speaker 4: goals to finished top three in the Big twelve?
- 31:40Speaker 1: We'll see.
- 31:41Speaker 4: But hey, at that offense, if that kid slinging the ball,
- 31:44Speaker 4: they're gonna score a lot of points this year. I
- 31:45Speaker 4: don't know about Baylor's defense. I don't think it's what
- 31:47Speaker 4: it used to be right now, but they'll.
- 31:49Speaker 1: Be twelve at least, so that helps you know, Yeah,
- 31:53Speaker 1: you're I score people and maybe you'll get in the final.
- 31:56Speaker 1: Let's double this one up. Illinois and Duke played a
- 32:03Speaker 1: competitive game until it wasn't and then they just handled them.
- 32:06Speaker 1: And then and they finished it in style. Duke did
- 32:08Speaker 1: have turnovers alls. We needed is Illinois to win by three,
- 32:14Speaker 1: and they did. And then Old Miss Kentucky, and you know,
- 32:17Speaker 1: I kicked myself for not taking that plus nine, knowing
- 32:22Speaker 1: it was gonna be another freaking ugly game and they'd
- 32:25Speaker 1: probably win, but THEYD probably be within under, you know,
- 32:28Speaker 1: in single digits, and sure enough it was. What did
- 32:32Speaker 1: you think of those two games? Here?
- 32:35Speaker 2: We get the quota out of the way, you know
- 32:37Speaker 2: what I mean?
- 32:38Speaker 4: Hey, I uh, another year of I love Lane man,
- 32:43Speaker 4: but ever since it's been I don't. I don't love
- 32:46Speaker 4: his quarterbacks. Though that that kid had a really bad
- 32:49Speaker 4: first half. They did PLoP the win, but then in
- 32:54Speaker 4: Kentucky they seemed to be pretty levelly matched with the styles,
- 32:57Speaker 4: even though I think Kentucky's eyes got of a ground
- 33:00Speaker 4: and pound and Old Miss is supposed to well over
- 33:03Speaker 4: the years, Lanes has some ground and pound teams, but.
- 33:06Speaker 1: It was it may not be a he's a quarterback whisper,
- 33:11Speaker 1: but he just can't recruit quarterbacks. So he's got to
- 33:14Speaker 1: be like Bama to get the quarterback and then he's
- 33:16Speaker 1: a quarterback whisper.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Now, I will say people were much higher Jackson Dart
- 33:21Speaker 4: than me, like I was. I never liked it win
- 33:24Speaker 4: the big, big one. But obviously he got drafted in
- 33:26Speaker 4: the first right, Like shit, what do I know?
- 33:28Speaker 1: But yeah, I just know we got to see how
- 33:31Speaker 1: that plays out too.
- 33:32Speaker 4: Yeah, true, that's that's fair. Yes, but I was never
- 33:35Speaker 4: a huge fan of Jackson Dart in college. This kid
- 33:38Speaker 4: the big games, he.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Didn't show up as much, kind of had the Christian
- 33:41Speaker 1: ponder vibes.
- 33:43Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this Simmons kid, he's okay. Just the
- 33:46Speaker 4: offense isn't quick clicking like I think it could.
- 33:49Speaker 1: Now.
- 33:49Speaker 4: They ran the ball twenty eight times for a buck
- 33:51Speaker 4: thirty eight, Like you know, Kiffen has the stablished a
- 33:54Speaker 4: good ground game there. But the passing game the Simmons kid,
- 33:56Speaker 4: I will see it is really and at Kentucky's a
- 33:59Speaker 4: scrappy game. They always have a good defense. But I'm
- 34:03Speaker 4: just I'm hoping for last.
- 34:04Speaker 1: Year the offense. Yeah yeah, true.
- 34:09Speaker 4: Actually actually live bet I actually win against the kids
- 34:12Speaker 4: and I live at Kentucky. That game and there was
- 34:14Speaker 4: one chance where the stoops for Kentucky passed up on
- 34:17Speaker 4: a field goal, which I could have really been beneficial
- 34:19Speaker 4: to me. But I'm happy my guy got the win.
- 34:24Speaker 4: But when they get into Ole Missus, they're gonna to
- 34:27Speaker 4: play some people this year. I hope that that kid, well,
- 34:30Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see. But they hey, they have a
- 34:32Speaker 4: fun one. They got Arkansas kind which is always a
- 34:34Speaker 4: fun one. So hey, that kid's gonna have to show
- 34:37Speaker 4: up a little bit more, I hope, because yeah, they're scheduling.
- 34:39Speaker 4: It's not Florida, but it's it's pretty damn hard. So
- 34:43Speaker 4: and what was Hill when he said, I'm sorry.
- 34:45Speaker 1: Uh, the one we want to bet on? Illinois? Oh,
- 34:48Speaker 1: hey Duke.
- 34:51Speaker 4: Yeah, all the numbers said, Hey, Illinois is returning to
- 34:54Speaker 4: a lot of people and they have a stut offensive line.
- 34:57Speaker 4: Duke's defense is still getting worked on and improved. I
- 34:59Speaker 4: know that that's some of the dstis pride in, but
- 35:01Speaker 4: it's still a work in progress. And in the second
- 35:05Speaker 4: half that game, I think that returning prowess and just
- 35:09Speaker 4: like Illinois knowing to run the ball, that's something be Lama.
- 35:12Speaker 1: I think the guy is not a nice human.
- 35:14Speaker 4: Being, but yeah he's but he knows how to coach
- 35:18Speaker 4: him where you're at and when when you can't when
- 35:23Speaker 4: when you lack a D line versus that his team, Dude,
- 35:26Speaker 4: you're gonna eventually you're going to cave in, and do
- 35:28Speaker 4: caved in near the end. Altmeer's having himself a nice
- 35:31Speaker 4: season again again, Is he going to be a flashy pro?
- 35:33Speaker 4: Probably not. He's a damn good college quarterback that's reliable.
- 35:37Speaker 4: So pats up to them. And that was the Vegas line, right.
- 35:40Speaker 4: I'm really not sure what Vegas was thinking. Sometimes they
- 35:42Speaker 4: catch you sleeping, but that one. I know a lot
- 35:44Speaker 4: of people made money on Illinois because it is too
- 35:47Speaker 4: good to be true, but we cashed on it, so
- 35:49Speaker 4: we'll take those for when, like.
- 35:51Speaker 1: You text me, you know it dropped too right before
- 35:54Speaker 1: you know? Yep, So I did you know? I saw
- 35:58Speaker 1: it go up a little bit and then it came
- 35:59Speaker 1: right back down. But you know, we held we held firm.
- 36:03Speaker 1: We held firm. We didn't cash it out earlier or
- 36:05Speaker 1: nothing like that. Oh yeah, amen, but yeah that Uh,
- 36:10Speaker 1: I just I like, hey, that eight and four is
- 36:12Speaker 1: looking pretty good. Eight and four for the season, looking
- 36:15Speaker 1: pretty damn good. Hey that quickly games where you're like,
- 36:19Speaker 1: we'll see you know, and.
- 36:21Speaker 4: It just because I just said I pulled it up.
- 36:24Speaker 4: The the tough part of the schedule for for Old Miss,
- 36:28Speaker 4: they got let's see in like in week five. For
- 36:30Speaker 4: the week six for them, they play L s U.
- 36:34Speaker 4: They have Wazoo in there. I don't know how Wazoo
- 36:36Speaker 4: got fit in, so L host L s U, Wazuo
- 36:40Speaker 4: go to Georgia, go to Oklahoma, come home for South Carolina. Dude, Okay,
- 36:46Speaker 4: you bet you best buck up. You have you have
- 36:49Speaker 4: a couple of games to get your life together, because
- 36:51Speaker 4: that's that's pretty fucking hard. So we'll see Simmons, We'll
- 36:55Speaker 4: see and Lane, you'd get your hands full that and
- 36:57Speaker 4: that that.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Yeah, damn, I might have to have the soft sad
- 37:01Speaker 1: violin much earlier than I thought this season. And you know,
- 37:05Speaker 1: and then I'm just I just I just hope he
- 37:07Speaker 1: goes someplace to be an offense coordinator that you completely hate,
- 37:12Speaker 1: and I'll see you switch it up and be like,
- 37:14Speaker 1: you know what, I like this team. I like this
- 37:16Speaker 1: this offense.
- 37:18Speaker 4: And thankfully I think Lane hates guys like Franklin and Tables,
- 37:21Speaker 4: so I don't you have to cross path like that.
- 37:24Speaker 1: But you know you weren't too high on Bama and
- 37:27Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're pretty high on Bama.
- 37:29Speaker 4: No, I don't know about that bright.
- 37:36Speaker 1: Because that was when the Pac twelve still existed. Remember
- 37:39Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve, don't get me wrong, they were
- 37:41Speaker 1: they were under rated at times. I'm not I'm not
- 37:44Speaker 1: one of those that don't think that they were at times.
- 37:47Speaker 4: The Big East is now my favorite conference in basketball.
- 37:49Speaker 2: So people get this is what I'm saying.
- 37:52Speaker 1: This is if you could have heard the ship this
- 37:55Speaker 1: guy would say about the point guards in the Big East. Yeah,
- 38:03Speaker 1: you told, I'm totally throwing off. Now, Okay, so.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Let's talk.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Okay, Asu, you know, I was watching or I was
- 38:11Speaker 1: listened to the Cover three and they they made a
- 38:14Speaker 1: good point like die by the blitz, Lived by the blitz,
- 38:18Speaker 1: Die by the blitz, and Asu in that Texas game
- 38:22Speaker 1: at the end with that touchdown, died by the blitz
- 38:26Speaker 1: and they blitzed this time and no boy kind of
- 38:30Speaker 1: got tripped up or fell and it was just an
- 38:33Speaker 1: open dude one on one and it was a rap.
- 38:36Speaker 1: But Mississippi State that was awesome. Also, Army K State, Dude,
- 38:42Speaker 1: K State. Man. They were like I think they were
- 38:47Speaker 1: the favorites to win. I mean, you know, all you
- 38:51Speaker 1: have to be is like the top six and the
- 38:53Speaker 1: Big twelve. You know, it's not like you can rule
- 38:56Speaker 1: them out even right now. But k State lose to
- 39:00Speaker 1: Iowa State, then they freaking come back and just sneak
- 39:05Speaker 1: by North Dakota, and then they turn around and lose
- 39:08Speaker 1: to a team and Army who lost to a team
- 39:10Speaker 1: they had no business losing too. That's college football in
- 39:14Speaker 1: a nutshell. And you know light's come that you fast
- 39:17Speaker 1: for Asu and there's another coach that I love me
- 39:20Speaker 1: some Asu. I liked what they did down the stretch
- 39:23Speaker 1: last year, but he's not getting me there that long.
- 39:25Speaker 1: And it won't because of the bad year. It'll just
- 39:27Speaker 1: because he'll just move on, you know, more likely. But
- 39:31Speaker 1: that was a tough one, two tough ones. Army, we
- 39:36Speaker 1: we talked about that.
- 39:37Speaker 4: That was a tough spot for case stake because you
- 39:40Speaker 4: had you had the hiccup in Dublin. You came back
- 39:43Speaker 4: almost lost to one of my two colleges. I went
- 39:45Speaker 4: to North Dakota, which was would have been embarrassing as
- 39:47Speaker 4: a twenty eight point favorite.
- 39:49Speaker 1: I mean they really had to barely win that too.
- 39:52Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you come off as an Army team
- 39:54Speaker 4: that is obviously going to be very you know, talking
- 39:56Speaker 4: about opposite of Florida, a very fundamental based team because
- 39:59Speaker 4: they're the Army. They're the kid you know, that's so
- 40:01Speaker 4: well organized a bunch. They lost to Tarleton Stanton, Texas,
- 40:04Speaker 4: which was not supposed to happen, and so then you're
- 40:10Speaker 4: that was a tough spot and uh hell, I will
- 40:14Speaker 4: say though, I'm happy that Army won because with Kasey
- 40:18Speaker 4: had the ball like two minutes to go down four,
- 40:22Speaker 4: I think, uh, there was a play where the kase
- 40:25Speaker 4: quarterback threw the ball to the wide receiver. He caught
- 40:28Speaker 4: the ball, took two steps and turned and made a
- 40:31Speaker 4: move and Army guy hit the ball, popped out for
- 40:34Speaker 4: a fumble and they recovered. So it should have been
- 40:35Speaker 4: ballgame there, but they ruled it. They ruled it incomplete.
- 40:40Speaker 4: Just all those moments were as a fan, and I
- 40:42Speaker 4: did bet Army live quickly, so I was like, dude,
- 40:44Speaker 4: you made two steps plus the football move like I feel,
- 40:49Speaker 4: I feel there was a lot of questionable calls when
- 40:51Speaker 4: I was watching Saturday.
- 40:52Speaker 1: Whether it's my betting or not.
- 40:53Speaker 4: But like dude, we've always heard two steps in the move,
- 40:56Speaker 4: that's all you need, and I feel Casey got off
- 40:58Speaker 4: the hook.
- 40:59Speaker 1: But then three rule to be fair. Okay, but you
- 41:04Speaker 1: know so.
- 41:04Speaker 4: In college have been theory in college if you see
- 41:06Speaker 4: two steps plus a move like you know that should
- 41:09Speaker 4: be a catch.
- 41:10Speaker 1: But three plays later the dude threw a pick.
- 41:12Speaker 4: Anyways, and he was what people consider a dark horse
- 41:16Speaker 4: Heisman candidate, and that case A kids off to a
- 41:19Speaker 4: tough start this year. A lot of those times I
- 41:21Speaker 4: would love to see the top ten quarterbacks start of
- 41:23Speaker 4: the year for a Heisman because five or six on
- 41:25Speaker 4: thee now probably falling off that map pay and too quickly,
- 41:28Speaker 4: because we got to keep going. That ASU miss CBS
- 41:31Speaker 4: was a fun game in college football. Uh missi b
- 41:34Speaker 4: State dominated the first half. ASU came back.
- 41:36Speaker 1: Dominated seventeen zip or something like that.
- 41:38Speaker 4: Yeah, seventeen zip, although it should have been ten zip.
- 41:41Speaker 4: They there was an awful chop block that the reps
- 41:44Speaker 4: allowed to happen. That was a bullshit called it was
- 41:48Speaker 4: definition of a child block. But then Arizona State has
- 41:52Speaker 4: a sixteen play drive with fifteen rushes. They can't punch
- 41:56Speaker 4: it in from the one three times in a row.
- 41:58Speaker 4: And then a Missippi State comes back and it threw
- 42:01Speaker 4: it to Brennan Thompson, who if Google's true, and you
- 42:04Speaker 4: know the college reports right, this dude ran twenty three
- 42:10Speaker 4: point seven miles per hour, so they say he's the
- 42:13Speaker 4: fastest wide receiver in college football. They gave him a
- 42:16Speaker 4: fly route and I don't know if the dvs fell,
- 42:19Speaker 4: but dude, if you're the fast player at college football
- 42:21Speaker 4: or an SEC, sometimes hey just go get the ball
- 42:24Speaker 4: and there's a whole safety help he got cooked.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Yeah, and then linebacker fell on the blitz too, so
- 42:29Speaker 1: the middle of the field was wide open.
- 42:30Speaker 4: Yeah, and there was a cow belt party when that
- 42:32Speaker 4: dude scored. So hats off to them. And again, Missippi State,
- 42:35Speaker 4: you're trying to bring a program back that like I said,
- 42:38Speaker 4: when Dak was there, and I ave after you left,
- 42:40Speaker 4: that's been a pretty good program. So have you see
- 42:42Speaker 4: him go off the schneid. And that was a tough
- 42:44Speaker 4: loss for ASU because they really did fight back. But
- 42:47Speaker 4: then he had one slip up in Acossias, so tip
- 42:49Speaker 4: of the captainist State. That was just an enjoyable college
- 42:52Speaker 4: football game to see.
- 42:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear that definitely, you know, I Vandy took
- 43:01Speaker 1: care of Tech Chi Ching Diego Diego, Michigan State Boston
- 43:07Speaker 1: College was a great game, double overtime.
- 43:10Speaker 2: The youngster.
- 43:12Speaker 1: Child's or whatever. I think he's in the second year
- 43:15Speaker 1: as a starter. He's looking like he's turning the corner.
- 43:19Speaker 1: But that Kansas Missou game, man, I felt so confident
- 43:23Speaker 1: down the street the whole game until pretty much the end,
- 43:27Speaker 1: you know, pretty much the last part. I felt so
- 43:30Speaker 1: damn confident that I was gonna win that damn bet
- 43:35Speaker 1: because I took a little bit even more. I took
- 43:37Speaker 1: seven and a half, so I was feeling I felt great. Man,
- 43:42Speaker 1: just peeping in from time to time, you know, watching something.
- 43:45Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, still we're doing good. And then it
- 43:48Speaker 1: wasn't good. Drop balls just uh. I thought I had
- 43:53Speaker 1: that one on the bank man, but Maszoo, you know, hey,
- 43:57Speaker 1: I gotta say that quarterback from Penn's that I thought
- 44:01Speaker 1: he was just a runner. I gotta give him a
- 44:03Speaker 1: little credit. They might they I know, that was a
- 44:05Speaker 1: quarterback battle until the other guy got hurt or whatever.
- 44:09Speaker 2: But there might be something there.
- 44:11Speaker 1: There might be something there that I I under evaluated.
- 44:17Speaker 1: But those three games, two of them were really fun.
- 44:20Speaker 1: The Vandy game was tight until it wasn't. But yeah, man,
- 44:24Speaker 1: I felt good about that rock chock Jayhawk and then
- 44:27Speaker 1: and then it just fell apart on me.
- 44:30Speaker 4: Uh yeah, hey that Dandy game. Yeah uh in the
- 44:32Speaker 4: second half they got cooking.
- 44:34Speaker 1: Uh.
- 44:34Speaker 4: Vo Tech did get up early. I'm either up ten
- 44:37Speaker 4: or fourteen to three early. But then once Vandy caught
- 44:41Speaker 4: that stride, thinks that I bet him live for the over,
- 44:43Speaker 4: which they kicked in with the back and quarterback. Thankfully.
- 44:46Speaker 4: I liked the last play of their offense. Yeah when
- 44:50Speaker 4: uh that that's a little old machine. I'm not saying
- 44:53Speaker 4: they're going to make the playoff, but there that. I
- 44:55Speaker 4: think that win versus Bama was a way to say, hey,
- 44:58Speaker 4: we're we're we're kind of relevant now. And and obviously
- 45:02Speaker 4: you have a leader in Pobby who's kind of that cocky,
- 45:04Speaker 4: fun quarterback need to make big plays and he's going
- 45:06Speaker 4: to be a fighter for you that they're they're legit offense.
- 45:11Speaker 4: I don't know about defensively, but they're a fun team
- 45:13Speaker 4: to watch and last year they upset a lot of people.
- 45:16Speaker 4: This year, I don't think they can sleep on as
- 45:18Speaker 4: many because people know who they are and for Miszoo.
- 45:23Speaker 4: I've always liked that team, always been a fan of
- 45:26Speaker 4: My buddy went there for a year. Uh yeah, that
- 45:29Speaker 4: I will say to me, I think that kid's gotta
- 45:32Speaker 4: work on his scrambling because I don't I think his
- 45:34Speaker 4: his arm is good, but his mobility, man, there was
- 45:36Speaker 4: some times where that dude, dude, you don't know how
- 45:38Speaker 4: to run for crap.
- 45:40Speaker 2: To me, I just well, he knows how.
- 45:42Speaker 1: To run within a running system, you know, as a
- 45:46Speaker 1: running quarterback. But yeah, he's a good point.
- 45:49Speaker 4: Was his scrambling ability scarce.
- 45:52Speaker 1: And it's not like Kansas has a great defense or something,
- 45:54Speaker 1: you know.
- 45:55Speaker 4: No, Yeah, but hey, Missouri what and that?
- 46:00Speaker 1: That's always been a big rivalry.
- 46:01Speaker 4: So I'm thankful they came out on top because that
- 46:03Speaker 4: used to be a big deal. Now it's kind of
- 46:05Speaker 4: coming back, hopefully play each other in football for a
- 46:07Speaker 4: couple of years again. So hats off to MISZOI in't
- 46:11Speaker 4: even talk about USC this year, but he'll play someone
- 46:13Speaker 4: and they'll start talking about you all again. I that
- 46:15Speaker 4: have always been my pride and joy. But it seems
- 46:17Speaker 4: like it's gonna be Missoo and Kiffing until USC plays
- 46:20Speaker 4: somebody and Lincoln Royle becomes relevant again, we'll see.
- 46:24Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, at least they're putting up points right now.
- 46:27Speaker 1: We'll see, like you said, yeah, all right. So Week three,
- 46:34Speaker 1: we got Georgia Tennessee, Notre Dame A and M Miami
- 46:37Speaker 1: South Florida, Clemson at Georgia, Tech LSU Florida Van the
- 46:42Speaker 1: You know, we got some games and we got some
- 46:44Speaker 1: under the radar games like Minnesota at Cal and be
- 46:48Speaker 1: interesting to see how good Houston is when Colorado comes
- 46:51Speaker 1: in there. In case State, they're underdogs on the road
- 46:54Speaker 1: at Zona. But Georgia at Tennessee. Now, Tennis, he looks
- 47:00Speaker 1: like they've upgraded with that with Aguila or whatever. It
- 47:05Speaker 1: looks like they've upgraded when it comes to you know,
- 47:11Speaker 1: the quarterback. They Syracuse doesn't have some kind of great defense.
- 47:20Speaker 1: Their offense has been really good. Now they lost some
- 47:23Speaker 1: parts from it last year of course, wide receiver in
- 47:26Speaker 1: the quarterback and all that. But that's who Tennessee beat.
- 47:31Speaker 1: That's the only real team either of them played, I
- 47:33Speaker 1: guess you could say. But so we're gonna find out
- 47:38Speaker 1: against a Georgia if this quarterback can play. But we
- 47:42Speaker 1: also have to make sure that the Georgia quarterback can play,
- 47:47Speaker 1: and Tennessee's had a pretty damn good defense of late.
- 47:51Speaker 1: Both of them are rushing the you know what out
- 47:53Speaker 1: of the ball. Both of them are are containing the
- 47:57Speaker 1: run really well. Even if you look at it like
- 48:01Speaker 1: Tennessee's given up two twenty through the year compared to
- 48:04Speaker 1: one to forty, but honestly, like that's just because they
- 48:07Speaker 1: played Syracuse and so it was all They probably gave
- 48:10Speaker 1: up too many points to look at like a dominant
- 48:13Speaker 1: defense against Syracuse. But you know, Syracuse has a good
- 48:17Speaker 1: offensive system in place. Last year they put up a
- 48:20Speaker 1: ton of points, you know. So I don't know, you know,
- 48:24Speaker 1: it's it's it's on the road, right, it's in Tennessee, Yes,
- 48:30Speaker 1: and so there is a river nearby, you know what
- 48:32Speaker 1: I mean. But no, I uh. This one's a tough one, man,
- 48:37Speaker 1: because it is kind of the first kind of prove
- 48:40Speaker 1: it for both of these quarterbacks. Obviously one got a
- 48:44Speaker 1: good taste last year, but you can also see that
- 48:51Speaker 1: I think the Georgia quarterback, if they don't have the
- 48:53Speaker 1: run game going and they don't have a good offense,
- 48:56Speaker 1: like an above average to excellent offense line, he run
- 49:00Speaker 1: into some big problems. But if they do have those
- 49:03Speaker 1: things going, he might be a really good fit. What
- 49:06Speaker 1: says you about this one?
- 49:10Speaker 4: I think this game is just naturally a coin flip.
- 49:12Speaker 4: My sister basically called my sister. She's a huge Tennessee fan,
- 49:17Speaker 4: so she'll be coming over to watch the game, which
- 49:18Speaker 4: should be a lot of fun. They hate They hate
- 49:21Speaker 4: George just much they hate Bama, so this is a
- 49:23Speaker 4: big game for them. You got to pay three fifty
- 49:26Speaker 4: six to walk in the door, and that stadium sits
- 49:29Speaker 4: like ninety thousand, so all right, it'll be loud. I
- 49:33Speaker 4: just think the point spread is maybe Vegas favoring it
- 49:35Speaker 4: from last year. I would want to just naturally lean
- 49:39Speaker 4: towards Tennessee get a field goal at home to cover,
- 49:43Speaker 4: just because, like you said, we neither team has proven
- 49:45Speaker 4: much yet or we just don't. I'm not saying they're
- 49:48Speaker 4: not good, but that we haven't. They haven't been tested yet,
- 49:50Speaker 4: and obviously Tennessee last year their last moments were playing
- 49:53Speaker 4: Ohio State, which for the first quarter of that game
- 49:56Speaker 4: was okay and then kind of fell off the deep end. Yeah,
- 50:00Speaker 4: it's you could look at maybe like the magazines and
- 50:04Speaker 4: say who has higher stock, but I think in this matchup,
- 50:09Speaker 4: I think this one would mean something more for Tennessee
- 50:11Speaker 4: because they have Bebama the last couple of years, but
- 50:14Speaker 4: Georgia's ruled their party for the last anfel of years,
- 50:17Speaker 4: where he will be Bama alb and now we lost
- 50:19Speaker 4: to Georgia again, like they always need to lose to Georgia,
- 50:22Speaker 4: which is keeping their chances of being a higher seed
- 50:24Speaker 4: or maybe in that deeper run. So yeah, I'm just
- 50:28Speaker 4: gonna take the home team because we have two quarterbacks
- 50:31Speaker 4: who are trying to figure it out. But hey, and
- 50:33Speaker 4: if your Tennessee, if your defense can show up again,
- 50:36Speaker 4: hey good luck because last year, Chris, remember their offense
- 50:40Speaker 4: had three straight games or they didn't score a point
- 50:42Speaker 4: in the first half and they still made the playoffs.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you have that same.
- 50:47Speaker 4: Type of defense at home with ninety thousand crazy people screaming.
- 50:50Speaker 4: I'll take them plus three and a half. Yeah, So,
- 50:52Speaker 4: I mean this is some bias in socking too, But
- 50:55Speaker 4: in a coin flip game, I'll take the home team,
- 50:57Speaker 4: and I hope they pulled off. But yeah, quarterbacks would
- 51:00Speaker 4: be fun to come on the show next. We can
- 51:02Speaker 4: discuss because they will have a better profile of of
- 51:05Speaker 4: both of them.
- 51:06Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what September is all about. And yeah,
- 51:10Speaker 1: I could see a little bit lesser of a defense
- 51:13Speaker 1: but still solid, like above average. Yes, yeah, but if
- 51:17Speaker 1: they can just get a little more offense than they
- 51:20Speaker 1: did last year, it would make up for it, you know. Yeah,
- 51:23Speaker 1: I mean you could even say, like you can kind
- 51:26Speaker 1: of use the example of Miami, you know, like, Okay,
- 51:30Speaker 1: you know they're not going to be the same offense,
- 51:32Speaker 1: but if it's still a pretty damn good offense and
- 51:35Speaker 1: that defense makes a jump, then all of a sudden,
- 51:38Speaker 1: you know you got a better overall team even though
- 51:41Speaker 1: you had a stud Heisman guy.
- 51:46Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm going.
- 51:47Speaker 1: With Georgia, but I'm afraid of the points, to be
- 51:50Speaker 1: honest with you, Maybe I haven't even looked at a
- 51:53Speaker 1: minus number, but like, I'm afraid of it.
- 51:55Speaker 2: You know, I don't.
- 51:56Speaker 1: I don't like it, but I'm gonna I'm gonna say
- 51:59Speaker 1: Georgia sneak it out. But I don't think I don't.
- 52:03Speaker 1: Right now, I'm not confident that they'll win by four. Okay,
- 52:12Speaker 1: A grinded out, ugly game looking to run the ball.
- 52:15Speaker 1: Notre Dame in Texas A and M seven point favorite.
- 52:24Speaker 1: You know, A and M found their quarterback last year.
- 52:29Speaker 1: He returns.
- 52:30Speaker 4: Uh.
- 52:30Speaker 1: They're they're still building to try to become that high
- 52:34Speaker 1: level program, but they they they were a tough out
- 52:37Speaker 1: last year. Notre Dame, it looks like they they got
- 52:43Speaker 1: their next quarterback. We know both sides of the ball
- 52:46Speaker 1: is really good. We know that secondary is really good.
- 52:52Speaker 1: You know, I would probably go like plus seven and
- 52:57Speaker 1: a half and just kind of see where I'm at
- 53:00Speaker 1: maybe even you know, i'd have to see the numbers,
- 53:04Speaker 1: but the alternative lines. You know, maybe I go plus
- 53:08Speaker 1: seven and a half. But I'm not that confident Notre
- 53:12Speaker 1: Dame like they're gonna walk away with it by any stretch.
- 53:15Speaker 1: But I do think they'll find a way to contain
- 53:22Speaker 1: the quarterback, that they're gonna run the ball, you know,
- 53:24Speaker 1: because both sides are gonna run the ball. But I
- 53:28Speaker 1: think that they're I just think they're the better overall team,
- 53:31Speaker 1: and so I like Notre Dame in this, but right
- 53:34Speaker 1: now I'm kind of I'm kind of like A and
- 53:37Speaker 1: M plus seven and a half. But I but I
- 53:41Speaker 1: think Notre Dame will win the game.
- 53:44Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna copy and paste you on that.
- 53:47Speaker 4: I do think that their offensive play call needs to
- 53:50Speaker 4: be a little more aggressive. Obviously in the second half.
- 53:53Speaker 4: I don't know if that was Miami going to conservative,
- 53:56Speaker 4: but you definitely feel it was like to our pass
- 53:59Speaker 4: to our year pass in that first half against Miami,
- 54:02Speaker 4: and it just nearly had less going because Notre Dame
- 54:05Speaker 4: has two stud running backs. So if you can maybe
- 54:09Speaker 4: make the pass game get a little bit respected, then
- 54:12Speaker 4: you can open up play action or just the running game,
- 54:14Speaker 4: and they're gonna kill y'all, like.
- 54:16Speaker 2: They had two weeks to to rev up too.
- 54:19Speaker 4: Yeah, and you're a little pissed off after that game. Yes,
- 54:22Speaker 4: So if you can run the ball effectively and then
- 54:24Speaker 4: let your quarterback who had who shoot who showed potential
- 54:27Speaker 4: even if Miami was doing some preva, yeah, he still
- 54:33Speaker 4: had moments. So you just gotta maybe open up that
- 54:36Speaker 4: pass game just a smidge and then you're gonna look
- 54:38Speaker 4: pretty good. So yeah, I and last year A and
- 54:42Speaker 4: m I mean, they kind of started off hot, but
- 54:43Speaker 4: it kind of it's just they had a decent year,
- 54:46Speaker 4: but they didn't do anything like they almost Texas.
- 54:49Speaker 1: They almost did some stuff. You know, they're in the
- 54:51Speaker 1: right direction, but yeah, I don't think they're there yet.
- 54:53Speaker 4: True, but he was also coming into a program that
- 54:56Speaker 4: those coveroads were empty, so he kind of had to
- 54:59Speaker 4: get just get back to step one. Now they're working
- 55:01Speaker 4: on step two. Yeah, I'll take the Irish. I just
- 55:04Speaker 4: think that they need to be a more open minded
- 55:08Speaker 4: offensive play callers and they should be able to get
- 55:09Speaker 4: the up because the the Notre Dame defense did pretty
- 55:13Speaker 4: good versus the former George quarterback to Miami's offense. Not
- 55:18Speaker 4: that they were pitching and shutout, but they were respectable.
- 55:21Speaker 4: So run the ball and take care of business, and
- 55:24Speaker 4: I think the Irish get the win.
- 55:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, but you know, we'll see.
- 55:30Speaker 1: Maybe they can keep it close that you know, they
- 55:32Speaker 1: got a damn good coach. And yeah, their offense was
- 55:35Speaker 1: in shambles. I wouldn't say that the covers were bear
- 55:39Speaker 1: though at A and M because they had talent. With
- 55:41Speaker 1: the under team, chemistry seemed to be yeah, yeah, they
- 55:45Speaker 1: were all out of whack and yeah, acting like why
- 55:49Speaker 1: we playing this nineteen nineties football on offense? You know? Yeah,
- 55:55Speaker 1: so yeah, so okay, so we both think that. Okay,
- 55:59Speaker 1: so Miami and USF and then LSU hosting Florida. You know,
- 56:10Speaker 1: like last year I mentioned twenty I think it was
- 56:15Speaker 1: a weird score, like twenty three to fifteen or twenty
- 56:17Speaker 1: two to fifteen at half, and then Miami blew them out.
- 56:22Speaker 1: But they do have and I want to say he
- 56:25Speaker 1: was a Hurricane before a couple of years ago. Now
- 56:28Speaker 1: I think about the quarterback, but anyway, they're different. This
- 56:32Speaker 1: coach has got South Florida in the right direction and
- 56:35Speaker 1: the quarterbacks legit, and they're a legit team obviously, But
- 56:39Speaker 1: I do wonder, you know, now, Miami's had plenty of
- 56:44Speaker 1: time to be like, Okay, these motherfuckers are real. You're
- 56:46Speaker 1: not sneaking up on us, you know what I mean.
- 56:49Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm hoping, you know, But you
- 56:52Speaker 1: know it's out there. This is no kind of bullshit team.
- 56:56Speaker 1: No we gotta play. And I just wonder. So I'm
- 57:01Speaker 1: on two sides of this one. I just can South
- 57:05Speaker 1: Florida summon up the strength to put up another big
- 57:10Speaker 1: performance again, and we're only in September.
- 57:13Speaker 2: I do question that two though.
- 57:16Speaker 1: The plus numbers looking pretty damn good for me, so
- 57:20Speaker 1: I think Miami's gonna win. But I do think that
- 57:23Speaker 1: plus number and they get out Jojo Trader, they get
- 57:26Speaker 1: a couple guys back, a defensive end back Miami, so
- 57:29Speaker 1: they got some guys coming back to and that young
- 57:33Speaker 1: true freshman went off again last week with some big plays,
- 57:36Speaker 1: that wide receiver.
- 57:38Speaker 2: So yeah, I like Miami, but that plus seventeen, like
- 57:44Speaker 2: plus nineteen and a half right now is a pretty
- 57:46Speaker 2: good number.
- 57:47Speaker 1: Still. I do like that, but I just don't think
- 57:50Speaker 1: that they'll beat them, just because it's I mean, Miami's mortality,
- 57:54Speaker 1: but also like, can South Florida do it three straight
- 57:57Speaker 1: weeks where they do that?
- 57:59Speaker 2: I don't know. You know, they're not going to be
- 58:00Speaker 2: intimidate obviously.
- 58:02Speaker 4: No, but it's almost like that that serotonin level's got
- 58:06Speaker 4: to run out or you get the big man on
- 58:07Speaker 4: campus hype, Like no matter the sport, whether it's college
- 58:10Speaker 4: basketball or football that we cover, like you are the
- 58:14Speaker 4: like you're you're the top, and your your focus kind
- 58:20Speaker 4: of elite. Uh alleviates you for a while. So like
- 58:24Speaker 4: could they win against sure, could they stay hot, but
- 58:26Speaker 4: your heater, you got to die in the heater eventually.
- 58:29Speaker 4: So yeah, is this that moment where they finally step
- 58:31Speaker 4: up off? Now they can lose by thirteen and still
- 58:33Speaker 4: cover your bet and still put up a decent performance.
- 58:36Speaker 2: Yeah, even you know, ugly late bullshit, you.
- 58:40Speaker 4: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, but well, and crystal Ball scares me.
- 58:43Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know if i'd be nervous
- 58:45Speaker 4: about that. That dude's his own beast, uh for play
- 58:48Speaker 4: calling down the line at then the games. But again,
- 58:51Speaker 4: I think it would be asking a lot to plump
- 58:53Speaker 4: another big win that. Now, again, maybe the Boise State
- 58:57Speaker 4: favorite at started that year was maybe the wrong call,
- 58:59Speaker 4: but they still wanted a good game. And even though
- 59:02Speaker 4: Bois he thought screw up in the first half, they
- 59:04Speaker 4: capitalize when boys didn't, and then you beat Florida. So
- 59:07Speaker 4: it's like, damn, yeah, can you have another good performance
- 59:10Speaker 4: versus a really solid team. It'd be asking a lot, Chris.
- 59:14Speaker 4: I'm not saying they couldn't do it. But if we
- 59:16Speaker 4: start to show off next week with USF winning again,
- 59:20Speaker 4: that's a lot of credit. Because to get these college
- 59:21Speaker 4: kids up for three games in a row, that, even
- 59:24Speaker 4: even if you are a hell of a coach, that
- 59:26Speaker 4: takes a little bit of luck and just a lot
- 59:27Speaker 4: of focusedness that they're probably not having quite this week.
- 59:30Speaker 4: As they you know, it's it's you're just asking a lot.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.
- 59:35Speaker 1: And even like you said, even for it to be
- 59:37Speaker 1: a tight game, not even a win tight game, that
- 59:40Speaker 1: still would impress me a lot. True, But I'm gonna
- 59:43Speaker 1: ride that plus number until you know, South Florida falls off.
- 59:49Speaker 1: And like I said, I do sometimes like those win
- 59:53Speaker 1: win things, like, hey, if Miami beats them by you know,
- 59:57Speaker 1: twenty points, that's a good sign, you know what I mean.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: So I do expect a scrappy Florida team. Will they
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: be scrappy enough? And have they even really proven enough
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: with you know, with the talent they got. Yeah, they
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: had some nice wins down the stretch last year, they
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: got it together off of that rough start they had
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: so many damn injuries. I just think that I don't know,
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: it's hard like did he lose the locker room a
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: little bit already? You know, I don't know, But I
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: could see because they are a capable, solid team, they
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: could win this game or I should say, be competitive,
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: but they could win it, but be competitive. But so
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: maybe that maybe if you went plus ten and a half,
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad better even the nine
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: and a half straight up. But I just see LSU
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: getting it done. It's fucking Death Valley. What are we
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: talking about here? The real Death Valley too, by the way, Yes, yeah,
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: I mean.
- 1:00:59Speaker 4: Like to see like I don't think. And again I'm
- 1:01:03Speaker 4: not saying a whole lot here for Brian Kelly because
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: he's not. There's a lot of people at l in
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: cult football if you're knew the podcast besides Kiff, and
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: there's not many coaches I like.
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: But it's like the scales pretty even.
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: You know, you got, you know, sixty teams on this
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: side sixty. You know it's it's pretty even, you know.
- 1:01:19Speaker 4: Uh I. But LSU, they they're not gonna not like
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: be ready like it's a home game and Death Valley.
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: It's at night. Like, yes, Florida just lost the USF.
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: But I don't see the mantra at LSU being oh man,
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: Florida's down this year, We're good like that that's not happening.
- 1:01:39Speaker 4: It'll be a I do expect a better performance from
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: Florida because hey, last year when it was Firebilly chance,
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: which they had last week, like they they stepped the
- 1:01:49Speaker 4: f up and they saved Zass, so it could happen again. Sure,
- 1:01:52Speaker 4: I think it will be a close football game, but
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: I do think LSU wins. And if you're Anus Meyer,
- 1:01:58Speaker 4: you know you can get a lot of love. So far,
- 1:02:00Speaker 4: keep proving people wrong or keep having your your lovers
- 1:02:03Speaker 4: join on the the on board and as post, the haters.
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Win the game in a couple of plays either, you.
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: Know, Yeah, so I do think they get the job done.
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: Yeah Florida man, but you're for Florida, dude, Now starts
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: your galllet of hell. We have four games in a
- 1:02:20Speaker 4: row where you're either you're you're looking at uphill battles,
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: So to win one here it would be a huge kind
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: of take a deep breath moment.
- 1:02:29Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I don't see it happen to
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: my friend. And by the way, shouts out to the
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: c W dude. They had the Baylor s m U
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: game last last week, you could argue was the best game.
- 1:02:41Speaker 1: And then and they got they got they got Miami
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: South Florida this this week, so shouts out to them. Okay, yeah,
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: they're not fucking around, dude. No, Okay, Clemson at Georgia Tech. Okay,
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Clemson has trouble stopping the run. I'm pretty sure Georgia
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Tech wants to run the ball. Last time I checked, Like,
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: no matter how much that quarterback gets beat up, they're
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: gonna run the ball. I mean even against Colorado. You
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: look kind of beat up in that game.
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: You didn't take last week off, actually didn't play last week.
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So but that tells you right there that
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: he got beat up in that game.
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: You know, he's he's kind of a crazy bastard like that.
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: That guy plays hard. Yeah, maybe too hard.
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: Yeah, So so Clemson, you know, would they get up
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: for this?
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I could see that they better.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: Run the ball.
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: It's a three and a half on the road. Like,
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: Can Georgia Tech keep it close? I'm one hundred positive
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: they can. I think they can win. You know, maybe
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: I just go the money line just straight up, or
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: I'd probably have to buy like a point or two
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: in the plus direction to feel comfortable. But Georgie Tech
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: can win this game, There's no doubt about it. They
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: didn't play last year either. I was hoping that they
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: played and I could measure it up a little bit. No,
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: they didn't play.
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: Georgia Tech enjoys making people's lives miserable. They like they
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: did it last year with Georgia, Like, I don't see
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: why they don't do it again because what is now
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: on this year? You lost lsun scored ten points, you
- 1:04:33Speaker 4: were down sixteen to three Detroy, Like, could this be
- 1:04:37Speaker 4: the breakout Clemson game?
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: Maybe?
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: But that Georgia Tech team is going to try to
- 1:04:42Speaker 4: control the time possession Again, I don't think they're that
- 1:04:45Speaker 4: strong defensively. But what is Clemson's offense showing you to
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: make them look like they're gonna explain it?
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: And if Hayes are gonna last longer?
- 1:04:55Speaker 4: Yeah, if Haines King is healthy, yeah, Georgia second for
- 1:04:59Speaker 4: sure win this came now. If he's beat up like
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: bad or can't run as effectively, then all bets are
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: off because he kind of is the motor that makes
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: him run. But if he's relatively healthy, I think this
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: is a completely game in the fourth quarter up for
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: grabs situation because George Sek proved it last year. But
- 1:05:18Speaker 4: if you are Clemson, though, dude, you you kind of
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: need this win to get a little more respect on
- 1:05:23Speaker 4: your back because you haven't looked at impressed him so far.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: And there was a lot of hype at the start
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: of the year. Them in Penn State got a lot
- 1:05:28Speaker 4: of hype and they haven't I'm not going to Penn
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: State yet, but they haven't been showing it quite yet.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: So we'll see, right, And to be honest, I mean
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: Penn State should get hyped. They made the semi finals.
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: They had a pretty good year and return. Yeah, you
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: could say that their two wins aren't as good in
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: the playoffs. That's fine, but you know, I could see
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: that hype because they had their one of their best
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: years in a long time. And you know, if Allard
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: makes a couple of throws, they probably they're probably in
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: the National Championship game, you know, and then they lose anyway.
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: But yes, they'll have their chances to stop the Ohio State,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: you know, one in fifteen or whatever. So Vanny at
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: South Carolina, I like South I like South Carolina in
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: this one. They their offense has been a little funky,
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: though their defensive line is you know, they lost some
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: guys to the pros, so it's not asked out, right,
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a bad defense, but it's not
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: asked out. They've been having a little issues on offense,
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: but I still like them to win this game where
- 1:06:43Speaker 1: it's at and in the point spreads close to the
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: marshall that I'd probably have to buy a point or
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: two to feel good about it. Because Diego Diego plus
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: seven to five. Hey, I'm willing to bet on Diego
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: for plus seven to five, but I'm not ready to
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: call the upset just yet. I think South Carolina will
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: straighten it out. But you know that VA Tech game, dude,
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: like when you look at it like you know you can't.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: It's like you do this in boxing, right, they call
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: it the triangle effect.
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: You can't do it? Will this person beat that person?
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: Bet? Well? That means this and that. Well, if you
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: look at heads up, you know they did play better
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: overall bandy against Virginia check. There's no doubt about that.
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: They didn't need a crazy punt return and all this
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: shit to spread way out. Yeah, so the plus number
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: I'm looking at it. I haven't put the bet down,
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: but I am gonna go South Carolina to grind this
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: game out. But this one's up. I'm not saying it's
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: a picking game, but.
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: You know, I don't know.
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: I like South Carolina.
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: I didn't take Vandy last year, that team didn't really
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: give a shit. They just went and played football. And
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: when they were a dog, I'm the road now.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Last YEARND I.
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: Remember they were like eleven point dog one of Kentucky
- 1:08:04Speaker 4: that that team loved cash and so five and a half.
- 1:08:07Speaker 4: This is Vegas's way to me if showing some respect
- 1:08:10Speaker 4: to him, I agreed, But I'll also take the five
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: and a half or maybe put him in a teaser,
- 1:08:15Speaker 4: which I would like to do because then he gave
- 1:08:17Speaker 4: him like twelve and a half or thirteen. Yeah, and
- 1:08:21Speaker 4: Leonora Sellers had a lot of hype going into the year.
- 1:08:23Speaker 4: Hasn't quite been Yeah level yet, but but he's also
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: supposed to be very talented. So I will take Vandy again. Offensively,
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: they were humming in the second half last week. I
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: think that South Carolina Place will be elite, elite, that's
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: Ronald Burbish. It'll be lit. It's a night game. We
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: got the shrubs and the bushes. That place is gonna
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: be loud and bounce it. But I will Yeah, I'll
- 1:08:49Speaker 4: take it. I'll take the Vandy plus five and a half.
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: That might be my most fun game to watch for
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: the week besides LSU Clemson just from a personal fan standpoint,
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: and hell, they'll be on at the same time or
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: sorry as the LSU Florida, So maybe do my double
- 1:09:02Speaker 4: TVs there. But yeah, if you're South Carolina, maybe this
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: is your show. Was who we really are a game?
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: Because mind you, last year they were a couple of
- 1:09:11Speaker 4: political points away from making the playoffs. So you guys,
- 1:09:15Speaker 4: heart tack one night resume and this could be a
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: good resume win and a conference game.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta start early, not late.
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: And by the way, you must did you watch the
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: PJ Fleck press conference something talking about elite and shit
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: like that? Is that what that was? That?
- 1:09:32Speaker 4: It's a good word to use in coaching life, I
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: will say.
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: Oh yeah, So the game's kind of flying under the radar.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: The the hardcore barn burners case State at Zona there
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: as of right now, Friday night there it will be
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: Friday night game one and a half underdogs on the road.
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Zona is not what it was two years ago. As
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: we know, Minnesota at cal Colorado at Houston. Really they
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: want to see how good this Houston team is and
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: see if Colorado can kind of they played three quarterbacks
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: last week and did you see that clip of Dion
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: Sanders in his quarterback.
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: One of the other quarterback Lord.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: No, it was funny because uh, it's like, uh, it's
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: not Stabler, that's an old Raider. It's a I can't
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: remember the guy's name, but it's not the guy they
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: got from Liberty. It's not the guy that the young dude.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: It's it's in between. And this guy in the post
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: game said I had a dream last night. And then
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: at the end, Dan's like he said his name, he's
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: like Martin Luther, this guy because he had a dream.
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: You know, it's just funny how he said it. It
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: was really funny. But I do want to see how
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: Houston looks. But Minnesota at Cal, you know, Cal lost
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: a ton of talent, not just in the winter but
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: in the spring, which really hurts you. Right, they're quarterbacks
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: at Indiana. Dude is a legit defenseive coach will Cox,
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: I think his name is. Yes, they're scrappy. It's always
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: just ask Auburn, just ask Miami. You know, it's tough
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: to play there that night nine thirty, right, but so,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: but they lost so much talent in the winter and
- 1:11:25Speaker 1: in the spring. Saw his film Pretty good film, Pretty
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: good until I saw the first game of that true
- 1:11:32Speaker 1: freshman and I was like, oh shit, they got a QB.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: I don't know how long he's gonna be there. No
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: offense to col Berkeley, you know, great town, but like
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: this kid was dropping dimes. Dude.
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: Now he did have a super clean pocket.
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: Okay, but it was against Oregon State, who we know
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: is not the Oregon State you know that we were
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: used to before old boy went to Michigan State. So
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: but I'm a little worri read all of a sudden
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: because that quarterback and then the front seven, it's gonna
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: be a test and then lo and behold, the Gophers
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: probably won't have their number one running back and Darius Taylor,
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: who caught fifty some odd balls out of the backfield,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: which is a nice little, you know, drop off there.
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: So I'm a little nervous. I got him, and I'm
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: a little nervous. I already have a plus one twenty
- 1:12:27Speaker 1: two or something like that one twenty one money line
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: on cal. We're gonna find out because we got a
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: red shirt freshman quarterback who was on Max's hip, but
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: he still got to do it now, and so I'm
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: a little I gotta admit now that I saw this
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: damp quarterback these last two week, especially the first week,
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: I'm a little scared of this guy. A little scared
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: of this guy. Yeah, time zone and all that shit.
- 1:12:53Speaker 4: I do know that your your running back is a
- 1:12:56Speaker 4: stunt on one of the better ones in the country.
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: So obviously with him binged up, that does all no
- 1:13:00Speaker 4: favors at all. And the only thing can say is
- 1:13:02Speaker 4: will Cox, dude. That dude's a kind of like Winningham
- 1:13:05Speaker 4: in Utah. I wouldn't put it quite put on to
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: that level, but he's a really really fucking good.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: Show, kind of like the George sech coach in a way.
- 1:13:13Speaker 4: Yeah, he just chills out there and Cal keeps the drib.
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: I think they keep paying the money keeping there. But
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: he's an excellent football coach. He maybe you don't. He's
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: obviously not like Tuscal Loosen saving, but this dude produces
- 1:13:23Speaker 4: good effort every almost week and just does with a
- 1:13:27Speaker 4: not a lot of talent. So that's always crappy to
- 1:13:29Speaker 4: go there. It's always late night games, weird shit happens,
- 1:13:32Speaker 4: so exactly underrated, very tough, tricky environment to go and play,
- 1:13:38Speaker 4: especially if you're like said that stuttering back is out,
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: that that won't help him any means.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: Yeah. So there are some really interesting games though, so
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: mitt so I have the against the spread. I mentioned
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: a couple of them.
- 1:13:55Speaker 5: I mentioned the Georgia attack, especially five and a half,
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: six and a half or five and a half, the
- 1:14:01Speaker 5: South Florida anywhere from the plus seventeen and a half
- 1:14:05Speaker 5: or if you can get it to nineteen for decent numbers,
- 1:14:07Speaker 5: nineteen and a half.
- 1:14:08Speaker 1: I mentioned the Cow plus two and a half or
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: I didn't actually mention that, but I'd probably just go
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: money line there. But New Mexico and UCLA. Now New
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: Mexico hung with Michigan in that running game, and UCLA
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: is not looking good this year.
- 1:14:26Speaker 4: UNLB whooped their butt last week.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: Well they did make a comeback.
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: I'll get them back, okay, but yeah, no, they got
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: their ass kicked Week one either way, So plus fifteen
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: and a half plus fifteen and a half New Mexico.
- 1:14:40Speaker 1: I haven't made the bet, but I'm eyeballing that you
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: know what out of it, because it's like, hmmm, you know,
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: maybe I might want to take a gander at that one.
- 1:14:50Speaker 1: Any other items before we get to the the crafty,
- 1:14:55Speaker 1: crappy pick of the.
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: Week again that hey, that ole Miss Arkansas. I know
- 1:14:59Speaker 4: that Arkansas is not ranked, but that game is always fun.
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: I would I would lean you to push the over
- 1:15:09Speaker 4: years watching that one normally Kiffin and uh Sam Pittman.
- 1:15:13Speaker 4: That that one's just it's gonna be in the fourth
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: quarter of in the thirties. That should be a really
- 1:15:17Speaker 4: fun game to watch it all. Damn, that's at six
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: o'clock to ship. So I got, I got old Miss Arkansas,
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: six got Dandy South Carolina and Depth Valley. That all right,
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to use all my TVs I got.
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: Yeah right, you have to stream on your phone. It's
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: gonna be like the old school n C Double A
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: Tournament for basketball, but you'd always have a laptop opening ship,
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:15:42Speaker 4: So Notre Dame A and M six thirty two. Okay,
- 1:15:45Speaker 4: I'll be using every screen I have available.
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: I'll ship. You might have to look in your neighbors
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: uh window too, you know, just the games, you know, like, hey,
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: could you flip this game on? Yeah?
- 1:15:57Speaker 4: So, but besides all the ones who mentioned now, I
- 1:15:59Speaker 4: think I think that pretty much covers it. We we
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: we have a pretty good week on TAPU. Yeah, I'm
- 1:16:04Speaker 4: looking at in any any l s U night game
- 1:16:06Speaker 4: is always fun that that's yeah, alright, So moving on
- 1:16:11Speaker 4: to the crafty craft picked the week, we're heading tow.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: Pit Bull Stadium. Uh to give you?
- 1:16:18Speaker 4: We we have Conference USA Florida International. Confer Conference USA
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: Florida International playing Florida Atlantic. In case people forgot Lane
- 1:16:30Speaker 4: Kiff used to coach there, So I just had to
- 1:16:33Speaker 4: mention my boy's name on the last time. Shout out
- 1:16:36Speaker 4: to the haters. Uh, so Conference USA Florida Atlantic versus.
- 1:16:42Speaker 4: I clicked on that last for a second. Florida Atlantic
- 1:16:47Speaker 4: is one and one. Is also one and one Florida
- 1:16:52Speaker 4: International wins?
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: Uh?
- 1:16:56Speaker 4: Is it to Florida International is a two and a
- 1:16:58Speaker 4: half point favorite? There program has not been legit since
- 1:17:02Speaker 4: I can ever recall. But what's say about Florida lanting
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: their dog at Florida International? The old brunner is fifty
- 1:17:09Speaker 4: eight and a half points. You can get indoor for
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: twenty bucks at Pitbull Stadium. He might perform at halftime.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: I'm not sure it's possible, my friend, Are you ready
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: to go on this one?
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: I am ready to go?
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: All right?
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: What do you got my friend, what do you got?
- 1:17:25Speaker 1: Man?
- 1:17:25Speaker 2: Okay, So it's what is a two and a half point?
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: FIU is the favorite, the home favorite, yes, sir, the
- 1:17:33Speaker 1: home favorite. So you know, FIU not known for their offense.
- 1:17:37Speaker 1: They're only putting up twenty one, fam you is how
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: people in Florida say at thirty one and a half
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: passing yards though, fam you three eighteen to one ninety one.
- 1:17:49Speaker 2: They both are running the ball.
- 1:17:50Speaker 6: Pretty well, and relatively speaking, they're both pretty good defensively
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: on the run, not so much on the pass.
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: But yeah, it's.
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: Kind of interesting. They're actually got some decent stats.
- 1:18:05Speaker 2: I suppose they both have a win.
- 1:18:08Speaker 1: Now. The Owls have three passing interceptions to lead the
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: NC Double A so far. The Owls have those six turnovers,
- 1:18:19Speaker 1: which you know is the most in NC Double A,
- 1:18:22Speaker 1: whereas the Panthers six touchdowns have the six most. So
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: something's gotta give, Okay, I'm gonna okay. And both of
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: them played power teams so far, fam you played Maryland
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: in lost thirty nine to seventeen. Uh, it was a
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: plus fourteen and a half though, whereas FIU they it
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: was thirty four to zero against Penn State. However, They
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: were a forty one and a half point underdog, though,
- 1:18:57Speaker 1: so they covered. Okay, we might you know, I'm doing
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: so bad this year, we might have to put that
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: ship in there.
- 1:19:04Speaker 2: So I'm you know, turnovers.
- 1:19:07Speaker 1: Are will kill you. We all know that. And the
- 1:19:11Speaker 1: combination of the turnovers and the productivity and just the
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: fact that you're not just gonna walk into pit Bull
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: Stadium and act like you're gonna get a dumb So
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the FIU Panthers to get the
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: job done. And I'm let me see here, I'm gonna
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: go and you know, both of them, they're not giving
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: up that many points. So what is it? Fifty man,
- 1:19:45Speaker 1: that's a good number. Gotta hate you, Vegas. I'm gonna
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: go under again. I think I've been on three unders
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: this year.
- 1:19:53Speaker 4: Yeah, the first two unders. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: I think I'm only one and one in that right, Yeah,
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna go under as well.
- 1:20:01Speaker 4: Home team under all right. I think i think we're
- 1:20:05Speaker 4: gonna be one and two after this week. I'm feeling
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: it for the alumni.
- 1:20:09Speaker 1: You better give me a damn layup next week.
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: Twenty points strands, Let's go Chris let's go.
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: If I go, I've already made this thing, right, if
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: I go on three on my straight up pick, I'm going.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: I got a new segment. I got a new segment
- 1:20:24Speaker 1: for Marshall, and it's called the sure Thing. But I'm
- 1:20:30Speaker 1: not gonna you know, I'll wait till I go own three. Okay,
- 1:20:34Speaker 1: but but I'm gonna have to fight back basically just
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: off a pride in ego, you know what I mean?
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: All Right?
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: All right? Uh so this alumni battle, I would have
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: thought we had more famous people, but this one's kind
- 1:20:49Speaker 4: of tough. Florida Atlantic alumni aside from Kifford working there,
- 1:20:54Speaker 4: which kind of kind of counts. I really, Uh, they're
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: number one since Chris Caraba, who is the lead singer
- 1:21:02Speaker 4: of Dashboard Confessional.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:21:06Speaker 4: Mark Cutis Kudish is an actor. I don't really recognize him.
- 1:21:14Speaker 4: Judith ortiz Coffer. I mean, there's a there's a Boston
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: Instas player named Tim HERIKOA. Alfred Morris was the Cowboys
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: running back and also played for the Redskins slash Commanders. Yeah,
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: and a Twins player named Carmen Cally who played for
- 1:21:33Speaker 4: the Twins in He was born in seventy eight. This
- 1:21:40Speaker 4: is bad.
- 1:21:41Speaker 1: I don't even remember that Twins player. Yeah, and in
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: that date would tell us we should remember that player.
- 1:21:49Speaker 4: Yeah he has a Twins hat. But man, yeah he
- 1:21:53Speaker 4: is a relief pitcher.
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: Jesus.
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: All right, it's not gonna take much here.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: No.
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: Florida International has Andy Garcia, who is a well known actor.
- 1:22:04Speaker 4: I believe Antoine Barnes is the boxer.
- 1:22:07Speaker 2: Right, Antoine Barnes, Yes.
- 1:22:12Speaker 4: Oh he looks like a boxer. I guess he is.
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: He's a football player, Okay, my mat he had that
- 1:22:17Speaker 4: boxer look to him. Rajah Bell NBA player. Uh and
- 1:22:24Speaker 4: Mike Lowell was red Sox Hilton Tea Hilton Okay, all right,
- 1:22:29Speaker 4: so hey yeah, f I U takes it.
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: F f A U.
- 1:22:36Speaker 4: Your alumni is not good. That's why your football program's
- 1:22:39Speaker 4: front up. No one can donate your damn money because
- 1:22:41Speaker 4: the n I l A coming through dashboard confessionals.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: Not Taylor Swift. Yeah, step it up.
- 1:22:46Speaker 4: Second year. I mentioned Taylor Swift. All right, that's maybe
- 1:22:49Speaker 4: that's my new quote. Alane Kiff or Taylor Swift. So
- 1:22:52Speaker 4: Chris is like God, any new partner on that note,
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: we hate We have a lot of top notch matchups
- 1:22:58Speaker 4: to break down. Hopefully at least two of those four
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: top match games are gonna bring us some rewards after this.
- 1:23:04Speaker 4: Right now, we're gonna go watch our vikings play and
- 1:23:06Speaker 4: wish us some good luck. The boys are out. Have
- 1:23:09Speaker 4: a good one.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: Peace,
