0:00
Speaker 1: Woo!
0:01
Speaker 2: Still gots.
0:01
Speaker 1: Woo!
0:02
Speaker 3: I gotta be honest with you, Bruce, there's a good
0:03
Speaker 3: chance I'd be high anyway.
0:05
Speaker 2: Woo! And I'm wondering how the football weekend was. Were
0:07
Speaker 2: you able to watch it? Wow, what happened? Oh, I'm
0:11
Speaker 2: tired of him. I'm serious. How about that?
0:14
Speaker 4: In company. We are mother shuckers, baby.
0:17
Speaker 5: Woo!
0:17
Speaker 1: Bruce, does Faison Brandon's name sound like it's on backwards?
0:20
Speaker 2: No doubt.
0:21
Speaker 1: It's time to get your.
0:23
Speaker 2: It's time to get.
0:24
Speaker 1: Your racket to get the all boat, the all boat.
0:27
Speaker 2: You got nothing right there. This is not going well.
0:31
Speaker 2: This is Stu Gotts and company. Stu, back to you.
0:35
Speaker 2: We love having Jessica Smetana on.
0:37
Speaker 3: She's the host of the College Football Happy Hour with
0:39
Speaker 3: Lucy Rodin.
0:41
Speaker 2: Also, our Jets correspondent. She was at the game. Why?
0:45
Speaker 2: It's such a great question.
0:50
Speaker 6: I was invited to go to the game and sit
0:52
Speaker 6: in a suite with a group of women in sports
0:57
Speaker 6: together and sportish. I'm sure you've heard of neither as
1:00
Speaker 6: as someone who's not a sports women's sports connoisseur.
1:03
Speaker 7: And that's OK.
1:04
Speaker 6: But I was excited because I've never been to MetLife
1:07
Speaker 6: Stadium before, even though I've lived in New York for
1:10
Speaker 6: a very long, long part of my adult life, but
1:13
Speaker 6: it's so far away from where I live and it's
1:15
Speaker 6: such a pain in the ass to get to.
1:17
Speaker 7: But you know what? I said, let's do it.
1:18
Speaker 2: Right.
1:19
Speaker 6: Let's see this Jets-Dolphins game, Stu Gatz. Let's see what
1:22
Speaker 6: we got cooking in the NFL right now.
1:24
Speaker 2: Yes.
1:24
Speaker 7: So. It was not good.
1:26
Speaker 3: It was not good. It never is, Jess. You can
1:30
Speaker 3: keep going back. It's never going to be good.
1:34
Speaker 6: It wasn't until, so I left early because like I said,
1:37
Speaker 6: I had a long ways home to go and I
1:40
Speaker 6: had so much work I had to do Sunday night.
1:42
Speaker 6: And it wasn't until I got home and the game
1:45
Speaker 6: ended that I saw that for some reason, this Jets
1:49
Speaker 6: game in particular was, was one of the worst ones
1:53
Speaker 6: of all time. I saw Jets fans posting the way,
1:57
Speaker 6: not just the LOL, the Jets. Like, people were despondent
2:00
Speaker 6: after this loss to the 0-5, now, you know, 1-5
2:04
Speaker 6: Miami Dolphins.
2:06
Speaker 7: And I went back and I watched the end of
2:08
Speaker 7: the game.
2:09
Speaker 3: Tough.
2:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:12
Speaker 3: I mean, the Dolphins wanted to lose that game. The
2:14
Speaker 3: Jets just wanted it more.
2:15
Speaker 2: I mean.
2:16
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's so true. It's so true. I saw a
2:19
Speaker 7: funny one.
2:21
Speaker 6: That said, this guy Paul Killagallon, I don't know who
2:25
Speaker 6: he is, but he said, there is no rock bottom
2:27
Speaker 6: as a fan. Only trap doors, sub-basements, deep tavern systems,
2:31
Speaker 6: and vast unexplored subterranean misery.
2:34
Speaker 7: There is always more.
2:38
Speaker 3: So wait, how long was the drive from your wherever
2:41
Speaker 3: you are in New York city to get to MetLife,
2:43
Speaker 3: it had to take at least an hour, right?
2:45
Speaker 2: An hour and a half.
2:45
Speaker 6: Well, well, well over an hour and 95% of it
2:49
Speaker 6: was spent in a tunnel or multiple tunnels. I lost
2:53
Speaker 6: track of time and space and also on the way
2:56
Speaker 6: to the game. I, so I actually, I took the
2:58
Speaker 6: train home, which also took over an hour, but at
3:00
Speaker 6: least it was a train. So I didn't get car sick,
3:02
Speaker 6: but on the way there, the Steelers saints game was on,
3:05
Speaker 6: but we were in a tunnel the entire drive.
3:07
Speaker 7: So I couldn't even watch, couldn't even watch the game.
3:10
Speaker 6: When I finally put the game on, I saw Aaron
3:12
Speaker 6: Rodgers scramble for a first down in the fourth quarter.
3:15
Speaker 7: And I was like, I... What... what the hell was that?
3:19
Speaker 7: I didn't know he could do that.
3:20
Speaker 2: Yes. Well, he couldn't do it for us. He does
3:22
Speaker 2: it for you. I mean, right.
3:24
Speaker 6: Right.
3:24
Speaker 7: I said, maybe it's an omen for the jets game.
3:26
Speaker 7: Maybe the jets are going to win today.
3:27
Speaker 2: Right.
3:28
Speaker 4: What decade did I emerge from when I came out
3:31
Speaker 4: of this tunnel? Aaron Rogers is running for first down.
3:33
Speaker 2: It's a tunnel. What decade did I emerge? It transports
3:36
Speaker 2: her back in time. Yes.
3:39
Speaker 5: Literally.
3:40
Speaker 6: I came out of this tunnel in 1999 and the,
3:43
Speaker 6: Tony Soprano was driving next to me.
3:45
Speaker 7: It was crazy.
3:46
Speaker 1: Jess, there are some moments where my Jets fandom that
3:49
Speaker 1: I have suppressed somewhere back in.
3:51
Speaker 2: The deep of my mind still comes out.
3:55
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn, me and Mikey have been sending the bat
3:58
Speaker 1: signal that it's over for Aaron Glenn. Like Aaron Glenn
4:00
Speaker 1: could do whatever he wants the rest of the season.
4:03
Speaker 1: There's no coming back from him every week. He kind
4:05
Speaker 1: of just shows more and more incompetence. They were asking
4:09
Speaker 1: him about not calling timeouts before the half. And his
4:12
Speaker 1: explanation for why he didn't call timeouts was, we just
4:15
Speaker 1: felt like we were going to stop them and be
4:18
Speaker 1: able to get the ball back. That doesn't even make sense.
4:21
Speaker 2: Well, it's the exact reason you use your timeouts.
4:24
Speaker 5: Right.
4:25
Speaker 7: You know what, Taylor?
4:27
Speaker 6: The only defense I can give of Aaron Glenn or
4:29
Speaker 6: any other football coach is that if you look at
4:33
Speaker 6: any level of the sport, I don't think anyone knows
4:36
Speaker 6: how to use their timeouts. I mean, I'm watching Kurt
4:39
Speaker 6: Cignetti who's supposed to be this like football wizard. I'm
4:41
Speaker 6: pretty sure they ended regulation with a timeout against Michigan.
4:45
Speaker 7: Luckily they won in overtime.
4:46
Speaker 6: But I'm like, man, what is going on with these
4:49
Speaker 6: coaches and their timeouts and in college football too. Now
4:51
Speaker 6: with the two minute timeout, which I don't, I guess
4:54
Speaker 6: we're not allowed to call the two minute.
4:55
Speaker 7: Warning or whatever.
4:56
Speaker 6: It just seems like coaches are just letting the clock
4:58
Speaker 6: wind down to two minutes and take, instead of stopping
5:01
Speaker 6: the clock before the two minute warning, like every single weekend,
5:04
Speaker 6: like it's happening constantly. So, I guess maybe no one
5:07
Speaker 6: knows how to use timeouts and Aaron Glenn is just,
5:10
Speaker 6: you know, he's not special.
5:11
Speaker 7: He's just one of, one of the other coaches that
5:13
Speaker 7: doesn't know how to use them.
5:14
Speaker 3: Are you excited before we get to college football? We'll
5:16
Speaker 3: have the weekend observations as well here with Jess. Are
5:19
Speaker 3: you excited for your Steelers? I, I guess, I don't
5:24
Speaker 3: know how I'm supposed to feel.
5:25
Speaker 6: They lost to the Browns, but then it's like the
5:27
Speaker 6: Browns are now tied to.
5:30
Speaker 7: Lead the division right now. They're, or I guess they're
5:32
Speaker 7: in the lead. They're five and two.
5:33
Speaker 6: So, Maybe the Browns are good or maybe everyone's just bad.
5:37
Speaker 7: I don't know. Should I be happy?
5:39
Speaker 6: I don't know what to think because they want this
5:42
Speaker 6: is five and two is a start that I don't
5:45
Speaker 6: think the Steelers have had in a while. It's a
5:47
Speaker 6: pretty good start, but I don't feel comfortable or confident
5:52
Speaker 6: in them.
5:53
Speaker 7: Generally speaking.
5:54
Speaker 3: So are you asking me, should you be happy? I mean,
5:57
Speaker 3: you're talking to a Jets fan. You're asking me if
5:59
Speaker 3: you should be happy to be five and two and
6:01
Speaker 3: tied for first place in your division, a division that
6:03
Speaker 3: has Cincinnati and Baltimore in it.
6:05
Speaker 2: Yes, you should be happy.
6:07
Speaker 7: They're still winning games by like a field goal though.
6:10
Speaker 7: And like, I don't know.
6:12
Speaker 6: The moment of the year is still when Aaron Rodgers
6:16
Speaker 6: yelled at Mike McCarthy, like, get the effing play in
6:19
Speaker 6: or whatever.
6:20
Speaker 7: And then Mike McCarthy was like, effing asshole. It was
6:23
Speaker 7: so good. That was probably my favorite moment of the season.
6:26
Speaker 7: So if nothing else, at least we have that. But
6:28
Speaker 7: it's been a weird season.
6:29
Speaker 1: Jess, it feels like Jets fans are looking for their
6:32
Speaker 1: version of John Harbaugh. And the one that Jets fans
6:36
Speaker 1: always go back to is, is Mike Tomlin. They're hoping
6:38
Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin is the one that comes to one
6:41
Speaker 1: Jets drive and saves the franchise. As somebody who has
6:45
Speaker 1: lived through the Tomlin experience, what would you tell Jets
6:48
Speaker 1: fans that are hoping for that?
6:51
Speaker 6: I mean, I would say he's obviously incredibly competent and
6:56
Speaker 6: maybe the Jets have lacked that over the years. But
7:00
Speaker 6: he seems pretty happy doing Football Night in America and
7:02
Speaker 6: building his Minecraft city.
7:03
Speaker 7: So I don't know if that's something that he would even...
7:06
Speaker 7: Why would you... Why would you want those problems? Why
7:08
Speaker 7: would you go back to coaching to coach the Jets?
7:10
Speaker 2: Right. You're right.
7:12
Speaker 3: And he's getting better at TV, at the doing of television.
7:16
Speaker 3: And now that you've been to MetLife, you're right. That
7:17
Speaker 3: would be good advice for Tomlin.
7:19
Speaker 2: Why? Don't do this, man.
7:21
Speaker 7: Like, it's crazy.
7:23
Speaker 1: There's so much to live for.
7:27
Speaker 6: It was like a very weird scene though, because the
7:30
Speaker 6: upper deck was pretty sparsely full, you know, not very full.
7:35
Speaker 7: On Sunday and, You know, division game.
7:38
Speaker 6: I saw a stat, Stugatz, actually I wanted to read you,
7:40
Speaker 6: which is that Tua and Malik Willis are a combined
7:43
Speaker 6: 9-0 against the Jets now, which is fascinating.
7:48
Speaker 7: But it was so beautiful out.
7:51
Speaker 6: Like, it was a gorgeous day, gorgeous October day in
7:54
Speaker 6: the Meadowlands. And then I'm watching the play on the field,
7:57
Speaker 6: and I'm like, this is gross.
7:59
Speaker 7: I don't like this. I really, like, just the.
8:04
Speaker 6: The contrast between what a wonderful day it was and
8:07
Speaker 6: the type of football I was watching.
8:09
Speaker 7: I didn't enjoy it.
8:10
Speaker 2: Taylor, put it on the poll.
8:11
Speaker 3: Does anything ruin a beautiful fall day like the Jets?
8:17
Speaker 2: Just the Jets. I mean, Jesus.
8:19
Speaker 1: We have this sound of how the Jets fans are
8:22
Speaker 1: feeling today. It's from former WFAN host Brandon Tierney on
8:27
Speaker 1: his podcast BT Unleashed. And if you want to... encapsulate
8:33
Speaker 1: how jets fans are feeling today, waking up BT knocked
8:37
Speaker 1: it out of the park here.
8:39
Speaker 5: So this season's obviously over. And so was the Aaron
8:41
Speaker 5: Glenn era. It is officially over. I don't give a
8:44
Speaker 5: rat shit. What happens the rest of this year? And
8:47
Speaker 5: it's not going to be good. Like the Raiders are
8:50
Speaker 5: going to probably score 30 on them next week. And again,
8:52
Speaker 5: you don't get the ball to Garrett Wilson. It's it's,
8:54
Speaker 5: it's ridiculous.
8:55
Speaker 2: It's mine. It's mind numbingly.
8:58
Speaker 5: Dumb that you have a fucking coordinator that who has
9:02
Speaker 5: a wide receiver like Garrett Wilson, and you don't get
9:05
Speaker 5: him the football.
9:09
Speaker 4: Yo, what's up, loser?
9:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, thanks for letting us get our first win, chump.
9:12
Speaker 2: See ya, sucker.
9:14
Speaker 5: That's what he probably just said to Aaron Glenn. All right, man,
9:17
Speaker 5: I ain't the worst coach in the NFL. What's happening, AG?
9:20
Speaker 2: See you later, buddy. Here, swallow this. Take the L.
9:24
Speaker 2: It's over.
9:25
Speaker 5: So obviously any hope, any hope that this losing just
9:32
Speaker 5: soulless franchise would give us one fucking year past Halloween
9:40
Speaker 5: is over.
9:42
Speaker 2: That's a man.
9:43
Speaker 3: He's been waiting to podcast his entire life. I mean,
9:46
Speaker 3: he is dropping F bumps.
9:48
Speaker 7: Halloween is like a line of demarcation.
9:50
Speaker 6: Like, please just let him care about football on November 1st.
9:53
Speaker 2: One time.
9:54
Speaker 6: Does it make it worse that Jeff Halfley's from New Jersey?
9:57
Speaker 6: Apparently like his whole family was at the game. Big
10:00
Speaker 6: first win as a head coach of the Dolphins.
10:03
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, it just, it all sucks.
10:06
Speaker 2: It really does. All of it. Halfley, everything. All of it.
10:10
Speaker 2: A rat's shit, huh? It's a rat's ass, right? I mean... Yeah.
10:13
Speaker 2: You just got caught up in the moment.
10:15
Speaker 3: He just wants to curse. He's liberated from WNBA. What
10:19
Speaker 3: comes out of a rat's ass? Well, shit does, obviously, naturally.
10:22
Speaker 2: Pellets, yes. Jets football.
10:27
Speaker 3: Put it on the poll. Does Jets football come out
10:29
Speaker 3: of a rat's ass? What were your college football takeaways?
10:36
Speaker 3: You were happy to see BYU lose, right? Because you
10:38
Speaker 3: lost to them.
10:40
Speaker 6: I mean, this is the thing that I hate about the,
10:43
Speaker 6: the 12 team college football playoff soon to be the
10:45
Speaker 6: 24 team college football playoffs.
10:46
Speaker 7: You guys is that every week people try to.
10:49
Speaker 6: Convince you, you have to root for all the teams
10:51
Speaker 6: you don't like, or the teams in your conference or
10:53
Speaker 6: the teams that beat you so that your resume is better.
10:56
Speaker 6: And I I'm not having it. First of all, it
10:58
Speaker 6: doesn't matter who I root for. It does not have
11:01
Speaker 6: an impact on the game.
11:02
Speaker 7: Okay.
11:02
Speaker 6: If it did, Notre Dame would win the national championship
11:05
Speaker 6: every single year. Who I root for has no bearing
11:08
Speaker 6: on what will happen on a given Saturday.
11:10
Speaker 7: So if I want to be a hater and say, well,
11:12
Speaker 7: wouldn't it be funny if.
11:13
Speaker 6: BYU lost because of some Big 12 officiating shenanigans the
11:16
Speaker 6: week after Notre Dame lost, in small part due to
11:20
Speaker 6: some Big 12 officiating shenanigans, then let me just do that.
11:25
Speaker 6: Whatever happens will sort itself out, and if Notre Dame
11:27
Speaker 6: loses and they don't make it in the playoff, it's
11:29
Speaker 6: because they lost.
11:30
Speaker 7: It's not because I was sitting there.
11:31
Speaker 6: Being like, gee, if only I had rooted for BYU
11:33
Speaker 6: on Saturday, October 24th, maybe Notre Dame would be in
11:37
Speaker 6: the playoff right now.
11:38
Speaker 7: So, first of all, that's my take on that.
11:41
Speaker 6: Second of all, being a hater is what feels good
11:44
Speaker 6: about being a sports fan, right? Like, being just a
11:48
Speaker 6: sicko and a hater and sitting there and watching USC
11:51
Speaker 6: lose to Wisconsin... That feels really good. And that one
11:55
Speaker 6: did actually help Notre Dame, so that was great. But
11:57
Speaker 6: sometimes that's all you need to do is just sit
11:58
Speaker 6: back and say, let me watch Lincoln Riley score seven
12:01
Speaker 6: points against Wisconsin.
12:02
Speaker 7: And does it have any real material impact on the
12:05
Speaker 7: rest of my life? I mean, no. But it made
12:08
Speaker 7: me feel really good on Saturday night. But I don't
12:11
Speaker 7: know if that answers your question, but that's how I
12:13
Speaker 7: felt this weekend. Notre Dame was on a bye.
12:14
Speaker 6: Week, and I sat there smugly for 12 hours just
12:18
Speaker 6: watching all this. Watching Indiana play. score six points in
12:22
Speaker 6: regulation to Michigan. And then Iowa and Minnesota have the
12:27
Speaker 6: audacity to have an even worse game right after where
12:31
Speaker 6: ever there's like four interceptions.
12:33
Speaker 7: There's like six fumbles. The final score is 13 to 10.
12:37
Speaker 7: It's disgusting.
12:38
Speaker 6: And then Oregon and Illinois do the same thing. The
12:40
Speaker 6: big 10 is just a foul, foul property. And honestly,
12:45
Speaker 6: the big 10 is, And the ACC right now, fold
12:48
Speaker 6: the conference. You got NC State losing to Stanford at
12:52
Speaker 6: 2 a.m. on Friday night, and then they fire their coach.
12:55
Speaker 6: Why is NC State playing a Friday night game against Stanford?
12:59
Speaker 6: Why is Cal traveling to Dallas to play SMU?
13:04
Speaker 7: What are we doing?
13:05
Speaker 2: I don't know.
13:06
Speaker 7: Yes.
13:07
Speaker 2: Hold it.
13:08
Speaker 7: The Big 12 and the SEC, that's all I want
13:09
Speaker 7: to watch for the rest of the season.
13:10
Speaker 2: Taylor. Yeah, go ahead.
13:13
Speaker 7: And the Pac-12. I love the Pac-12.
13:14
Speaker 2: The Pac-12, you can stay.
13:15
Speaker 7: The Mountain West, you're okay, too.
13:17
Speaker 3: Wait, so just to be clear, which conferences can we keep?
13:19
Speaker 3: Just so we're on the same page.
13:22
Speaker 7: The SEC.
13:23
Speaker 2: Yes.
13:23
Speaker 7: We can keep them.
13:24
Speaker 2: Yes.
13:24
Speaker 7: That's been very entertaining this year. South Carolina, Tennessee, very entertaining.
13:27
Speaker 2: Okay.
13:28
Speaker 7: Um, we'll keep the big 12. The big 12 has
13:30
Speaker 7: been pretty great.
13:31
Speaker 6: I mean, that, that BYU UCF game was a spectacular
13:35
Speaker 6: entertainment product, even though it took like three hours for
13:38
Speaker 6: the end of the game to finish out.
13:41
Speaker 7: Um, and I think it also delayed the start of
13:43
Speaker 7: the world series on Fox.
13:44
Speaker 6: I don't know, because I barely, I have, I don't
13:46
Speaker 6: have the bandwidth for baseball right now.
13:48
Speaker 2: Okay.
13:51
Speaker 7: Someone told me the Brewers. Manager went to Notre Dame.
13:53
Speaker 2: I'm like, great.
13:54
Speaker 7: I hope they win. I don't know.
13:55
Speaker 2: I can't.
13:56
Speaker 7: I don't have time right now. Okay, I'm busy. WBA
13:58
Speaker 7: finals are going on. It's too much.
14:00
Speaker 6: We can keep the Pac-12. Oregon State has been great.
14:05
Speaker 6: They had a bye this weekend, and their star wide
14:08
Speaker 6: receiver was like, I'm going to do a signing day.
14:11
Speaker 6: And then he announced that a signing day, he's coming
14:12
Speaker 6: back to Oregon state next year, which I don't, I
14:14
Speaker 6: think that's unprecedented. I don't think anyone's ever done that
14:17
Speaker 6: before in history, but it was awesome. And New Mexico
14:20
Speaker 6: is pretty great in the mountain West. So we'll give them,
14:23
Speaker 6: give them credit. I feel like you would like Jason
14:26
Speaker 6: Eck just as a vibe Stugatz. I think, I think
14:28
Speaker 6: Taylor and Mikey A would too. So we'll, we'll keep
14:31
Speaker 6: those four around for now. I don't, I don't care
14:35
Speaker 6: much for the American this year.
14:36
Speaker 7: I really don't. It's not been a good year for
14:39
Speaker 7: the American. UTSA is in first place right now. They're fine.
14:42
Speaker 6: But it's okay. We'll cast them aside, cast aside the
14:46
Speaker 6: Sun Belt. Stugatz, did you know, speaking of the Mountain West,
14:51
Speaker 6: Hawaii played a conference game against Northern Illinois this past weekend?
14:56
Speaker 2: I saw that, yes. Yes. What are we doing?
15:00
Speaker 7: But I will say.
15:01
Speaker 6: Northern Illinois' old conference, the MAC, we can keep them
15:04
Speaker 6: because they had a game between Ball State and Sac
15:06
Speaker 6: State this weekend, and I think the Ball Sac game
15:08
Speaker 6: needs to become.
15:09
Speaker 7: An annual rivalry.
15:10
Speaker 2: All right. I like you as a commissioner of college football.
15:13
Speaker 2: I mean, I do. Yes.
15:15
Speaker 7: Fold all the conferences. I'm sick of them.
15:18
Speaker 1: Jess, Jason Eck always looks like he's on the precipice
15:21
Speaker 1: of beating the crap of one of his players. He
15:25
Speaker 1: looks like he's about to beat somebody from an inch
15:27
Speaker 1: of their life.
15:29
Speaker 6: He had a really, like, I think it was a
15:32
Speaker 6: personal foul penalty. He had, like, he got in the
15:34
Speaker 6: player's face. I didn't like that very much. That was
15:36
Speaker 6: a bad visual. It kind of reminded me of, like,
15:39
Speaker 6: I think Kirby Smart did that with Mississippi State's quarterback
15:43
Speaker 6: a couple years ago.
15:43
Speaker 7: It was, like, a different team, so, like, don't do that.
15:47
Speaker 7: It was very, very, I don't know. But we'll hopefully,
15:51
Speaker 7: hopefully they have a good relationship.
15:52
Speaker 6: And it's one of those things where, like, if you've
15:54
Speaker 6: ever been on a team and gotten chewed out by someone, like,
15:57
Speaker 6: some players respond to that. Some players are like, this
16:00
Speaker 6: is crossing the line. And so I don't know their relationship.
16:02
Speaker 6: So I can't really say, but as a third party.
16:04
Speaker 7: Observer, I'm like, Oh, that was terrifying.
16:08
Speaker 3: You think Jason Eck is someone we'd enjoy talking about
16:10
Speaker 3: or talking to?
16:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
16:13
Speaker 7: I mean, he's got O-line energy.
16:14
Speaker 2: Okay.
16:14
Speaker 7: He's like a.
16:15
Speaker 2: Honorary Golic type. Very Bobby Knights. I don't know if
16:20
Speaker 2: I want to talk to Bobby Knights. I don't know.
16:24
Speaker 2: Get him on the show. Is Arch Manning back, Jess?
16:30
Speaker 6: Arch Manning has been this same guy for like two
16:33
Speaker 6: years now. He'll make the NFL QB one throw and
16:36
Speaker 6: then he will do the stupid interception. And I don't
16:40
Speaker 6: know what else there is to say at this point.
16:42
Speaker 6: Like there's a lot of college quarterbacks where if you
16:44
Speaker 6: put together their best highlights, they don't look as good
16:47
Speaker 6: as Arch Manning's. But then if you put together Arch
16:49
Speaker 6: Manning's low lights, it's like, wow, that's pretty bad.
16:51
Speaker 7: So I don't know.
16:53
Speaker 6: I mean, part of the issue with Texas is obviously
16:55
Speaker 6: like the whole offense, like holistically has not been very
16:59
Speaker 6: good this year. They did find something in the second
17:01
Speaker 6: half with really Brown running the ball. He had a
17:04
Speaker 6: really good second half and, Now their O-line has another injury,
17:07
Speaker 6: so I don't think that bodes well for them. But, yeah,
17:10
Speaker 6: it's just a mixed bag with him. And that's the
17:12
Speaker 6: thing about, like, you know, NFL front offices. It's like
17:15
Speaker 6: you have the traits and you do make the good throws. Like,
17:18
Speaker 6: they'll take a chance because if you pass on it
17:20
Speaker 6: and then someone else gets them later, like Lamar Jackson,
17:23
Speaker 6: you look like an idiot for the rest of your life.
17:25
Speaker 1: Jess, that's what I was just going to ask. What
17:27
Speaker 1: would be your level of confidence in drafting any of
17:30
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks in the first round right now if you
17:32
Speaker 1: were an NFL team picking in the top ten?
17:34
Speaker 6: If I had a good answer to that, I would
17:36
Speaker 6: have a way better paying job than I have right now, Taylor.
17:39
Speaker 7: I wish I could tell you. I have no idea.
17:43
Speaker 7: I mean, I think it changes by the minute. That's
17:48
Speaker 7: all I'll say on that. I also think one thing
17:51
Speaker 7: that Golik Jr.
17:52
Speaker 6: And I have talked about a lot is that there's
17:53
Speaker 6: so much transfer portal movement now that it is really
17:57
Speaker 6: hard to evaluate O-line play, which obviously has a lot
18:00
Speaker 6: to do with quarterback play. Um, so maybe that is
18:03
Speaker 6: something to do with the last three years being like, oh,
18:05
Speaker 6: we're going to have all these great quarterbacks. And then
18:07
Speaker 6: we only have like a couple pretty good quarterbacks in
18:10
Speaker 6: the NFL draft. But, um, when all of a sudden
18:12
Speaker 6: done at the end of the year, the one that
18:14
Speaker 6: I do really like, and I know he's a little small,
18:16
Speaker 6: so maybe he won't go as high as he could,
18:18
Speaker 6: but Trinidad Chambliss.
18:20
Speaker 7: Is pretty impressive.
18:22
Speaker 6: Even though they lost the game to Texas, obviously most
18:25
Speaker 6: teams aren't getting back into that one.
18:27
Speaker 7: The way that Ole Miss was able to get back
18:29
Speaker 7: into that one with him being the quarterback on the
18:32
Speaker 7: other side of it.
18:32
Speaker 1: So the more I watch these quarterbacks, the more I
18:35
Speaker 1: like Jeremiah Smith going number one, I think.
18:38
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen though. I mean, I'm with you,
18:40
Speaker 2: but it's not going to happen. Right.
18:43
Speaker 7: I don't know. I mean, Someone will talk themselves into
18:45
Speaker 7: a quarterback for sure.
18:47
Speaker 3: Before we get to the weekend observations here, bigger surprise
18:50
Speaker 3: for you this season. Number nine, Kentucky, number seven, UCLA.
18:56
Speaker 7: That's a great question.
18:57
Speaker 6: So not to bring it back to Notre Dame again,
18:59
Speaker 6: but Kentucky's quarterback, Kenny Minchie was in a quarterback battle
19:03
Speaker 6: with CJ Carr up until the bitter end of last
19:06
Speaker 6: year's preseason. So I had a hunch that he would
19:09
Speaker 6: be pretty good because CJ has been pretty good. So
19:10
Speaker 6: if it was that hard for them, To distinguish between
19:13
Speaker 6: the two, I thought he's probably pretty good. Now, Kentucky
19:16
Speaker 6: has won some really close games. The margins have been
19:20
Speaker 6: razor thin in conference for them. Winning multiple games by
19:24
Speaker 6: one point in overtime is obviously very difficult to pull
19:27
Speaker 6: off once, let alone twice in the SEC or.
19:29
Speaker 7: Any conference, really.
19:30
Speaker 6: But I thought both coaching hires were going to be good.
19:35
Speaker 6: I just didn't really expect them to be... as good,
19:38
Speaker 6: like both teams have won seven games already. I didn't
19:40
Speaker 6: expect them to be that good this year. And also
19:43
Speaker 6: UCLA continues to win despite Nico being hurt, which is
19:46
Speaker 6: pretty impressive. And I think it also just speaks to, um,
19:50
Speaker 6: perhaps just a level of parody in both conferences that,
19:54
Speaker 6: you know, has leveled out the playing field a little bit.
19:58
Speaker 6: But I definitely thought of all the coaches that were
20:01
Speaker 6: hired over the past year. Chesney at UCLA was amazing.
20:06
Speaker 6: seemed like a no-brainer and will stein seemed like a
20:09
Speaker 6: no-brainer and i think that is even more evident by
20:11
Speaker 6: the fact that oregon has been a freaking mess this
20:14
Speaker 6: year so i'm i'm not that surprised but i think you.
20:17
Speaker 7: Know getting the roi this quickly is is pretty impressive.
20:20
Speaker 3: Uh quickly here just dawned on me if the bears
20:22
Speaker 3: ever met the steelers in the super bowl who would
20:24
Speaker 3: you root for Points.
20:26
Speaker 2: I would.
20:28
Speaker 7: It depends who's winning.
20:29
Speaker 2: I would, you know.
20:31
Speaker 7: No, I mean, you know I'm a Steelers fan, right?
20:34
Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
20:35
Speaker 7: I mean, when a push comes to shove.
20:36
Speaker 2: Right.
20:37
Speaker 6: But if the Bears won a Super Bowl, you better
20:39
Speaker 6: believe I'm going to the parade.
20:41
Speaker 2: Okay. All right?
20:42
Speaker 7: I'm putting on the fake mustache and the sweater.
20:44
Speaker 2: Yes, good. All right. And you've earned it, yes, for
20:47
Speaker 2: being such a big fan.
20:48
Speaker 3: Thank you.
20:48
Speaker 2: Yes, no problem.
20:50
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, Miami, we asked Golik if we could attend
20:53
Speaker 3: the game with him.
20:53
Speaker 2: He said no. We asked. We asked Joe Theismann. He
20:57
Speaker 2: said no.
20:58
Speaker 3: I have reached out to Brady Quinn. He said he'd
21:00
Speaker 3: get back to me, which is a no, flat no.
21:03
Speaker 3: And I'm wondering, Jessica Smetana, as someone who graduated from
21:06
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, if we head up for the Notre Dame-Miami game,
21:09
Speaker 3: you got us?
21:10
Speaker 2: Can we sit with you? What are we doing here?
21:12
Speaker 7: Are you buying your own tickets?
21:15
Speaker 2: Well, I mean.
21:16
Speaker 7: Because I don't have.
21:17
Speaker 2: Extra, and they're pretty expensive. Do you have access to extra?
21:23
Speaker 7: No, I did in like June.
21:26
Speaker 2: Okay.
21:27
Speaker 3: I mean.
21:27
Speaker 7: Next time give me a heads up, Stugatz.
21:29
Speaker 2: Two weeks. This is a heads up for me. I mean.
21:32
Speaker 2: All right, so we're not going.
21:35
Speaker 7: You don't want to be near me during that game.
21:36
Speaker 7: Trust me.
21:37
Speaker 2: No, I do. I desperately want to be near you.
21:39
Speaker 2: Who are you going with? Your family?
21:41
Speaker 7: Lehman, my fiance.
21:43
Speaker 2: Get rid of him and take me. I mean, come on. Okay.
21:45
Speaker 3: Don't think about it. The weekend observations coming up next.

23:22
Speaker 2: Jess, nice enough to stick around for the weekend observations.
23:26
Speaker 3: I don't know why we put you through this, but
23:27
Speaker 3: we do. And I apologize in advance because these are lengthy.
23:33
Speaker 2: I mean, pages. Always are.
23:34
Speaker 3: I have a manifesto in my hand. Let's get to
23:37
Speaker 3: the weekend observation. Smetana!
23:50
Speaker 2: Nailed it.
23:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
23:52
Speaker 3: He was written off. He was doubted. He was discarded.
23:56
Speaker 3: A top ten pick. A national champion. The future of
24:01
Speaker 3: a franchise. Then came the injuries.
24:04
Speaker 2: The criticism.
24:05
Speaker 3: The benching. The trade. They called him a bust. Said
24:09
Speaker 3: he couldn't play. Said he'd never be a franchise quarterback.
24:14
Speaker 3: But New York took a chance. They saw what everyone
24:19
Speaker 3: else had given up on. And maybe, just maybe, all
24:24
Speaker 3: he needed was a fresh start. In a new city.
24:29
Speaker 3: With a coach who believes in him. Because just like that, Jess,
24:34
Speaker 3: make no mistake.
24:35
Speaker 2: About it, J.J. McCarthy is back. That looked good. J.J.
24:46
Speaker 3: McCarthy doesn't need a quarterback whisperer. He just needs a harba.
24:55
Speaker 7: Sometimes it's all you need.
24:56
Speaker 2: Put it on the poll. Did J.J. McCarthy just need
24:59
Speaker 2: a Horbaugh? It's true. Jess, you're the New York Giants.
25:05
Speaker 2: Jackson Dark comes back healthy. What do you do? Huh?
25:13
Speaker 2: We don't need to discuss. Winning with Jameis Winston and J.J.
25:18
Speaker 3: McCarthy, this is the best coaching job of John Horbaugh's career.
25:25
Speaker 2: Are we done pretending the Texans' defense is good?
25:30
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:30
Speaker 2: Strange.
25:31
Speaker 7: Not good.
25:31
Speaker 2: Not good.
25:32
Speaker 7: Disaster.
25:33
Speaker 2: Went from great to not good. Chargers.
25:36
Speaker 3: Last winless team in the NFL. Don't worry, Chargers fans.
25:41
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn is coming to town in a month.
25:45
Speaker 2: If he's still there. Chargers might have the wrong Harbaugh.
25:48
Speaker 2: If Aaron Glenn is still the Jets coach by then.
25:51
Speaker 2: Might not be.
25:52
Speaker 6: True.
25:54
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn.
25:55
Speaker 7: 0-8.
25:56
Speaker 3: 0-8 against AFC East teams.
26:02
Speaker 2: You know what the other AFC East teams have, Jess?
26:06
Speaker 7: His number.
26:07
Speaker 2: They do.
26:07
Speaker 5: 0-8.
26:12
Speaker 2: He's tough to defend. It's not good.
26:16
Speaker 3: Dolphins fans, just remember, as bad as it gets, you're
26:21
Speaker 3: not the Jets.
26:23
Speaker 2: I hate them.
26:25
Speaker 3: The Dolphins hadn't led for a single second all season.
26:30
Speaker 3: They never trailed against the Jets.
26:33
Speaker 2: I hate them.
26:33
Speaker 7: It's true.
26:34
Speaker 2: It's true.
26:34
Speaker 3: Aaron Glenn's key card to the facility.
26:39
Speaker 2: Should it work today? I hate them. What do you mean?
26:44
Speaker 2: Someone just deactivated it, Taylor?
26:45
Speaker 7: Yes.
26:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
26:46
Speaker 2: That's how you kind of inform them.
26:48
Speaker 3: It's a very passive-aggressive way of informing a guy he's
26:50
Speaker 3: no longer the coach and not wanted.
26:51
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he deserves anything better.
26:56
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson. I'm sorry. I skipped one here because I
27:00
Speaker 2: have a manifesto in front of me. Jets fans.
27:03
Speaker 3: Just when you think the next coach can't be any worse,
27:07
Speaker 3: they are somehow.
27:08
Speaker 2: Always worse. I hate them. Unless it's Tomlin. But why?
27:16
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:17
Speaker 2: Exactly.
27:18
Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson. I won't blame you when you ask out.
27:23
Speaker 3: I wish I could ask out.
27:25
Speaker 2: I hate them. I could just leave if I wanted.
27:31
Speaker 6: My dad decided, like, three years ago he was done
27:34
Speaker 6: with the Bears, and now he's a 49ers fan.
27:36
Speaker 5: Oh, man.
27:36
Speaker 6: And he has been sticking with that bit.
27:39
Speaker 2: Yes.
27:41
Speaker 6: Like, he's really, like, he sends pictures of himself wearing, like,
27:45
Speaker 6: the ugliest 49ers hat.
27:46
Speaker 7: You've ever seen.
27:47
Speaker 2: Right, but a bad time to jump off the Bears bus, right?
27:49
Speaker 2: I mean.
27:49
Speaker 7: Well, it just goes to show what an idiot.
27:52
Speaker 1: Yeah.
27:53
Speaker 7: He was their bad luck charm all along.
27:54
Speaker 2: He's going to jump back on, though, right, when it's convenient? Soon. Yeah. Yes.
27:58
Speaker 2: But he won't admit it.
28:01
Speaker 3: The Jets' season being over before Halloween, a tradition unlike
28:06
Speaker 3: any other. The Jets have now been outscored 107-6 in
28:10
Speaker 3: the last two minutes of the first half under Aaron Glenn.
28:15
Speaker 2: I hate them.
28:16
Speaker 3: Let that sink in. 107-6 in the last two minutes
28:20
Speaker 3: of the first half. To be fair to Aaron.
28:23
Speaker 2: Glenn, though, he's terrible outside of that time as well. Oh, no. Jesus.
28:33
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell. Going for it on fourth down. Backed up.
28:38
Speaker 3: Knowing the Packers kicker can't make chip shot field goals.
28:42
Speaker 2: Chess. Not checkers.
28:47
Speaker 3: New Orleans Saints. should leave Kellen Moore in France. Why
28:51
Speaker 3: do you always leave a coach? The losing coach always
28:54
Speaker 3: has to stay across the pond.
28:56
Speaker 2: Why are you doing that? Saints are bad. I know
28:59
Speaker 2: they are.
28:59
Speaker 7: How do you say tarmac in French?
29:01
Speaker 2: I don't know.
29:02
Speaker 7: They should do that to him.
29:04
Speaker 3: It's a fun word to say, tarmac.
29:09
Speaker 2: It is. I don't know why. Macadam. Ah, the macadam.
29:13
Speaker 7: I'm sure that's right.
29:19
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, still got it.
29:23
Speaker 3: You can take the Steelers out of America, but you
29:26
Speaker 3: can't take the ugly out of the Steelers.
29:31
Speaker 6: Yeah, but you know what, I was really happy when
29:34
Speaker 6: they drafted Darnell Washington and people made fun of me.
29:37
Speaker 7: They said, okay, yeah, you're excited about a tight end.
29:40
Speaker 7: who blocks. Guess what? Best player on the team.
29:43
Speaker 2: Love that guy. Darnell Washington, man amongst boys. Love me
29:48
Speaker 2: right there. Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens. It's a tale of
29:54
Speaker 2: two halves. Really was. I don't know what Jamar Chase
29:58
Speaker 2: said at halftime, but, man, it worked. Woof.
30:02
Speaker 3: Going to bonus coverage. That's just a team kneeling the ball.
30:07
Speaker 3: Feels like a waste of bonus coverage. The red zone
30:11
Speaker 3: did that?
30:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it was Rams-Raiders. Jesus. It's a long
30:15
Speaker 2: day for Scotty Hanson.
30:17
Speaker 5: Yeah.
30:17
Speaker 2: I don't know why I called him Scotty.
30:19
Speaker 7: Had to pee so bad.
30:20
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. Complaining. Complaining. About roughing the passer penalties he
30:27
Speaker 2: helped create. Hey, Tommy. Congratulations. The Stugatz is strong in you.
30:37
Speaker 7: That's rich.
30:38
Speaker 2: He's complaining after he plays. It's real rich.
30:41
Speaker 3: A tip of the cap to one Larry Fitzgerald. Getting
30:45
Speaker 3: his number retired in Arizona.
30:49
Speaker 2: Larry Legend. On tight ends day. Fake holiday. Yeah, but
30:56
Speaker 2: no one has a tighter end.
30:59
Speaker 1: Put that on the poll. Are you sick of Nationals
31:02
Speaker 1: tight ends day? Because, Jess, I'm right there with you.
31:04
Speaker 2: I hate it.
31:04
Speaker 3: I'm sick of it as well. Also, put this on
31:06
Speaker 3: the poll. Does anyone have a tighter end than Larry Fitzgerald?
31:10
Speaker 7: Oh, God.
31:13
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you. He still laughs when I make
31:16
Speaker 2: that joke. I see him and he laughs at me.
31:19
Speaker 7: His son plays for the Irish.
31:20
Speaker 2: I see people making faces on the Zoom. Mikey in particular.
31:23
Speaker 2: He's got a good ass. What do you want from me? Anyway, so.
31:29
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carolina Panthers was played at Bank of America.
31:35
Speaker 3: But really, it was played behind the woodshed. What happened there? Jesus, Carolina,
31:40
Speaker 3: our favorite team.
31:42
Speaker 2: Yeah. I know. Humble pie.
31:45
Speaker 3: Every game Baker Mayfield plays... is a revenge game. Nobody
31:50
Speaker 3: was more disappointed to not score on National Tight End
31:55
Speaker 3: Day than George Kittle.
31:57
Speaker 2: Ruined his year.
31:59
Speaker 3: If you ask George Kittle if he could win a
32:01
Speaker 3: Super Bowl or score a touchdown on National Tight End Day,
32:06
Speaker 3: he'd choose score a touchdown on National Tight End Day
32:10
Speaker 3: every time. I don't think that's the case. I know
32:13
Speaker 3: he started tight end camp. I know him and Olsen
32:15
Speaker 3: did that. I think he would take a Super Bowl.
32:17
Speaker 1: No, yesterday he woke up like a kid on Christmas.
32:22
Speaker 2: Los Angeles Rams. Get right game. Minnesota Vikings. A win
32:27
Speaker 2: is a win.
32:29
Speaker 3: Minnesota Vikings. Worst 6-0 team in NFL history. Barcelona.
32:36
Speaker 2: Real Madrid. El Clasico. LAFC.
32:42
Speaker 7: L.A.
32:42
Speaker 2: Galaxy, El Trafico. Same with MetLife, just in general.
32:50
Speaker 7: Seriously. Yep.
32:52
Speaker 3: Bo Nix can scoot more like Bo Vicks.
32:59
Speaker 7: 62 yards.
33:01
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs ran into a buzzsaw.
33:05
Speaker 3: If you didn't watch that game and just listened to
33:08
Speaker 3: Chris Collinsworth, you'd assume the Chiefs, One in a blowout.
33:17
Speaker 2: He loves the Chiefs.
33:18
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks do it against Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.
33:23
Speaker 3: Giannis single-handedly carrying the Heat to 20-point losses.
33:32
Speaker 2: I am so happy that Heat fans are miserable.
33:35
Speaker 3: It's pretty great.
33:39
Speaker 2: Congratulations to Giannis.
33:41
Speaker 3: Getting traded to a team somehow worse than the Milwaukee Bucks.
33:46
Speaker 3: Wonderworld Giannis will request a trade to next. Saying Bam
33:51
Speaker 3: Adebayo is the best player to ever play next to
33:55
Speaker 3: Giannis is disrespectful to Chris Middleton, Drew Holiday.
34:01
Speaker 2: And even Brooke Lopez. It is. I'm with you.
34:06
Speaker 1: It's your observation.
34:07
Speaker 2: It is my observation. I'm with myself. I agree with me.
34:13
Speaker 1: I'm taking Brooke Lopez over Bam Adebayo 10 out of
34:15
Speaker 1: 10 times.
34:15
Speaker 3: Thank you, Taylor. I'm not saying Mike Brown should be
34:22
Speaker 3: on the hot seat. I'm just saying if I was
34:25
Speaker 3: Mike Brown, I wouldn't get too comfortable in that chair.
34:30
Speaker 3: I mean, they're 0-3 after winning a title.
34:34
Speaker 1: What have you done for me lately?
34:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. Only four pages to go. Mikael Bridges.
34:44
Speaker 3: Mikael Bridges is playing like somebody who didn't pick up
34:48
Speaker 3: a basketball the entire offseason.
34:54
Speaker 2: Picked up something. Bottles. Bottles of liquor.
35:00
Speaker 3: If Bournemouth only played Manchester United, they'd win the Premier
35:05
Speaker 3: League every year.
35:08
Speaker 2: The Cherries.
35:11
Speaker 7: What an observation.
35:12
Speaker 2: Jim Favola's team. Yes. Jimmy Free. Michigan. Indiana. The rare
35:20
Speaker 2: free football that nobody wants.
35:22
Speaker 7: I've been doing it my whole weekend.
35:26
Speaker 2: Not the drive to MetLife, that.
35:28
Speaker 7: No. I would rather drive to MetLife every day than
35:31
Speaker 7: watch that game again.
35:34
Speaker 2: Michigan. Indiana.
35:36
Speaker 3: The rare free football you'd have to pay me to watch. Michigan,
35:43
Speaker 3: Andrew Marsh, Indiana, Nick Marsh. You, of course, know what
35:47
Speaker 3: that means, right, Jess? A couple of Marshes cutting it up.
35:54
Speaker 7: I don't know how I couldn't think of it.
35:56
Speaker 2: It's right there for you.
35:57
Speaker 7: I really blanked.
35:58
Speaker 2: Marsh, Marsh.
36:00
Speaker 6: I was like, tale of two Marshes, that's not right.
36:03
Speaker 2: Tale of two Marshes.
36:04
Speaker 3: Would have been funny, though. Michigan leads the country. In
36:11
Speaker 3: games that come down to the final snap, they do. Indiana,
36:16
Speaker 3: with their first win in Ann Arbor since 1967. You
36:20
Speaker 3: know what that means, right, Jess?
36:22
Speaker 7: They were due.
36:23
Speaker 2: They were due.
36:24
Speaker 3: Syracuse, throwing it to where there was no cameras to
36:28
Speaker 3: overturn the call on the field.
36:30
Speaker 2: Heady play. The orange. Seriously? How do they have no
36:35
Speaker 2: camera coverage?
36:36
Speaker 7: That was crazy.
36:38
Speaker 1: Me and Jess have this relationship where we both try
36:41
Speaker 1: to console each other when the other team's losing. Like,
36:43
Speaker 1: if Notre Dame's losing, I know I'm not even going
36:45
Speaker 1: to text Jess because I don't want to get in
36:48
Speaker 1: her path. But then she texts me after that game
36:52
Speaker 1: and is like, I think North Carolina got robbed in overtime.
36:54
Speaker 2: And I'm like, Jess... Who cares?
36:56
Speaker 1: Like, North Carolina, we're as dead a program could be
36:59
Speaker 1: with Bill Belichick right now.
37:01
Speaker 2: I mean, you lose the cues.
37:02
Speaker 7: I care. Okay? I care about fairness.
37:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
37:07
Speaker 7: There was no good angle.
37:08
Speaker 2: Right. You got robbed against BYU. You care about fairness. Yes.
37:13
Speaker 2: You did.
37:13
Speaker 7: Exactly.
37:14
Speaker 2: Thank you.
37:14
Speaker 7: Exactly. Thanks to God.
37:16
Speaker 2: You're welcome. Hey, YouTube TV.
37:19
Speaker 3: If I want the Skycast in my multi-view, I'll add
37:23
Speaker 3: it in there myself.
37:25
Speaker 7: Thank you.
37:26
Speaker 2: You're welcome.
37:28
Speaker 7: Put this on social media.
37:30
Speaker 2: Okay. How?
37:38
Speaker 3: Dave Doran? Am I saying it right? I'm tired of
37:40
Speaker 3: this guy. Fired at NC State. Dave, don't let the
37:44
Speaker 3: Doran hit.
37:46
Speaker 2: You on the way out.
37:48
Speaker 7: Winning his coach in NC State history, Stu Gatz.
37:51
Speaker 2: Really? Low bar.
37:52
Speaker 6: He won like 90-something games.
37:55
Speaker 7: I think.
37:55
Speaker 2: Wow. Any of them meaningful?
37:59
Speaker 1: The ones against Carolina. The only reason why he still
38:02
Speaker 1: had this job.
38:04
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers. NC State head coach. Collision course. Philip Rivers.
38:11
Speaker 3: Already used to managing. 100 plus kids at home.
38:18
Speaker 2: Funny. We're not seeing as many Dan Lanning pregame speeches anymore.
38:24
Speaker 2: Wonder why. Yeah. I'd kill for that footage. People would
38:27
Speaker 2: kill for that job. He's going to get fired.
38:31
Speaker 7: Not looking good. I don't think we'll get fired, though.
38:33
Speaker 2: He got rid of the OC, right? That's the first step.
38:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
38:36
Speaker 2: Blame everyone else. World Series. Not now. There's football on.
38:45
Speaker 3: DJ Lagway is the Michael Jordan of getting coaches fired.
38:53
Speaker 3: Despite Texas's best efforts, they won. Is it just me,
38:58
Speaker 3: or does the Texas turf look like they're playing on asphalt?
39:02
Speaker 7: It's terrible. It's just so unsaturated.
39:07
Speaker 1: That's a TV thing, though, right? Like, if I went
39:09
Speaker 1: to Texas, it looks green?
39:11
Speaker 6: If you look at any pictures or any other angles
39:14
Speaker 6: of people who are there, it's normal.
39:17
Speaker 7: On ABC, it is gray. It looks like the Brooklyn
39:21
Speaker 7: Nets court.
39:23
Speaker 2: Yes.
39:24
Speaker 7: They have a great court, right? I think so.
39:26
Speaker 2: I think so. If you had a.
39:31
Speaker 2: It's okay. Say it again so they can hear it.
39:33
Speaker 7: I haven't watched a Nets game in years.
39:34
Speaker 2: I'm just spitballing. You're not the only one.
39:41
Speaker 3: If you had a looks the part draft, South Carolina
39:46
Speaker 3: would go 1.1.
39:49
Speaker 2: 1-1.
39:49
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can never see that and
39:52
Speaker 1: realize it's 1-1.
39:54
Speaker 2: You said it in my headset right before I did it.
39:56
Speaker 2: Why would it be 1.1? Why would you do that?
39:58
Speaker 2: I don't know. 1 of 1.
40:00
Speaker 1: It's like a very common draft thing.
40:02
Speaker 3: 1-1.
40:02
Speaker 2: 1-1.
40:03
Speaker 3: How about just 1? What happens to just a singular 1?
40:07
Speaker 3: They'd go 1.
40:07
Speaker 2: 1-1. That's fair. 1.1. That's a more fair criticism. Leave
40:13
Speaker 2: the point out next time. He spelled it out. 1.1. Sorry, Taylor.
40:22
Speaker 2: Lenora Sellers. I was reading well, Taylor. Right up until. Oh, yes,
40:25
Speaker 2: you were. You're having a good reading day.
40:29
Speaker 3: Lenora Sellers. Legacy Drive. You know what the L in
40:33
Speaker 3: Lenora stands for?
40:35
Speaker 1: Legacy.
40:36
Speaker 2: You nailed it. South Carolina. Upsetting Tennessee.
40:41
Speaker 3: Cocktober. Joe Tessitore. Was born to call pick sixes. Taylor
40:47
Speaker 3: put it on the poll. Was Joe Test born to
40:49
Speaker 3: call pick sixes? College football, the rare witching hour. You
40:57
Speaker 3: don't appreciate how much you need Scott Hanson until you
41:01
Speaker 3: try to navigate the endings of BYU, UCF, Tennessee, South Carolina,
41:09
Speaker 3: and Iowa, Minnesota on your own.
41:12
Speaker 7: Why even bother with the last one?
41:15
Speaker 5: Yes.
41:15
Speaker 1: You didn't think the Michigan-Indiana game could get any worse?
41:19
Speaker 2: In general. Well, guess what? We've got Iowa-Minnesota for you. BYU-UCF.
41:26
Speaker 3: The rare BYU game where nobody's drinking, but everybody's playing drunk.
41:35
Speaker 3: I'm still not sure what the hell happened at the
41:39
Speaker 3: end of regulation in At BYU UCF.
41:42
Speaker 2: Speaking of hell.
41:43
Speaker 7: Oh, my God.
41:44
Speaker 2: Arp Riles. Jess, those are the weekend observations.
