- 0:10Speaker 1: baby Scott, We're only one week away before you got
- 0:13Speaker 1: midweek games starting in October. How the hell are you, brother?
- 0:18Speaker 2: I'm good man. Last week was a fun week, A
- 0:22Speaker 2: lot of a lot of games.
- 0:24Speaker 3: Man.
- 0:24Speaker 2: I did a lot of watching on my phone and
- 0:27Speaker 2: an iPad at kids' sports on Saturday. Uh So it
- 0:31Speaker 2: was a challenge. I had to get back and watch
- 0:33Speaker 2: some games I recorded.
- 0:35Speaker 3: It was. It's kind of a hot mess.
- 0:37Speaker 2: But it's a fun week. Army is turning into a
- 0:43Speaker 2: full on cover machine. That Alabama. That Alabama game was
- 0:48Speaker 2: a full on knockout fest. I mean, what a great game.
- 0:55Speaker 2: And the seventeen year old kid. I've seen all kinds
- 0:58Speaker 2: of references, and it tells me you haven't been watching
- 1:01Speaker 2: football long enough if you are saying that guy reminds
- 1:05Speaker 2: you of anybody, and this guy's not included David Palmer.
- 1:10Speaker 3: That guy is like fast.
- 1:12Speaker 2: He's to me, he is a combo of DeVonta Smith
- 1:17Speaker 2: and David Palmer. David Palmer was shifty and electric and
- 1:21Speaker 2: he just could do crazy stuff with his body. And
- 1:25Speaker 2: DeVonta Smith was as fast as lightning, you know, and
- 1:28Speaker 2: just a skinny, small kid just could get open. This
- 1:31Speaker 2: kid's like both. I mean, he is electric. I mean
- 1:36Speaker 2: just at the end of the day, I don't care
- 1:38Speaker 2: if he's seventeen or not. He's the most talented player
- 1:41Speaker 2: on the field. Now, that's the difference in the ball game.
- 1:43Speaker 1: When he pulled the double juke inside step and the
- 1:47Speaker 1: two defenders from Georgia ran into each other, then he
- 1:51Speaker 1: spins out of it, and I was like, are we
- 1:53Speaker 1: in the matrix right now? It's going on and Mark, it's.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Not like he's doing at Mississippi State or doing it
- 2:00Speaker 2: to Akron.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Hey, Georgia is loaded with dudes and.
- 2:05Speaker 2: They're like running into each other. I mean, what a game,
- 2:10Speaker 2: What a comeback by Georgia. Anybody doesn't think Kirby Smart's
- 2:13Speaker 2: the real deal? Holy smokes. Hey, you take that kind
- 2:16Speaker 2: of gut punch in the first half and you rally
- 2:20Speaker 2: your kids.
- 2:21Speaker 3: Buddy, he's got a program.
- 2:24Speaker 2: There ain't many people that come back in that situation,
- 2:27Speaker 2: and damn lip.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Can will throw that pick at the end. I think
- 2:30Speaker 3: we're going to overtime.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great game.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Great game, vendus game, I mean, tremendous game.
- 2:36Speaker 1: I want to talk about some of the freshmen playing
- 2:38Speaker 1: football this year. You know, we talked about the portal.
- 2:41Speaker 1: One of the things I've really noticed this season is,
- 2:44Speaker 1: you know, the Georgia's and the Bamas, they just don't
- 2:47Speaker 1: have the the threes and the fours anymore like they
- 2:50Speaker 1: used to from the depth chart perspective. And because they
- 2:53Speaker 1: go other places to play. I get it, that's the
- 2:55Speaker 1: world where. But you talk about some of the freshmen
- 2:57Speaker 1: playing this year, You've got Kayden Durham and LSU kids
- 3:00Speaker 1: going run a thousand yards if he stays healthy. Yeah,
- 3:04Speaker 1: his teammate from Duncanville Simmons, it's playing edge rusher Texas
- 3:08Speaker 1: that no one knows who he is yet he's got
- 3:11Speaker 1: four sacks and like six ackles for loss on it.
- 3:14Speaker 1: I mean, and he's he's a true freshman playing Dan Rudd,
- 3:17Speaker 1: I mean playing rush in uh Williams Williams, oh fam ridiculous, man,
- 3:24Speaker 1: just absolutely ridiculous. You've got the kid at uh Reola
- 3:28Speaker 1: in Nebraska, the kid at Smith, the kid it at
- 3:31Speaker 1: Ohio State. I mean, these guys are seventeen, eighteen years
- 3:34Speaker 1: old and just incredible.
- 3:37Speaker 4: What they're doing.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Hey, how about look, look, if we're gonna talk about
- 3:41Speaker 2: freshman quarterbacks, how about how about the kid from Mississippi
- 3:45Speaker 2: State rolling into Texas. That's the best game. They played
- 3:48Speaker 2: by a gigantic margin. I mean, had a had a
- 3:51Speaker 2: great game plan. But I mean I think Michael van
- 3:54Speaker 2: Buren played as good as you can expect the kid
- 3:58Speaker 2: to play and that kind of environment against that kind
- 4:02Speaker 2: of team with as little talent as he's got around him.
- 4:06Speaker 2: There are some guys that are making some great plays
- 4:09Speaker 2: as freshmen in this league. It's exciting to watch, you know.
- 4:14Speaker 2: I mean the kid, the kid at Kansas State is
- 4:16Speaker 2: a young kid. I mean it is I mean, holy
- 4:20Speaker 2: smokes man, there, it's fun to watch. I mean, it's
- 4:23Speaker 2: it's kind of wild because it's I think there's so
- 4:27Speaker 2: much transition. As you mentioned, they don't have the depth
- 4:31Speaker 2: and so these kids have to play and it's like
- 4:34Speaker 2: they just get out there and just go and it's
- 4:37Speaker 2: just athleticism and it's fun to watch, I mean, really
- 4:41Speaker 2: really fun to watch. How about how about Illinois should
- 4:47Speaker 2: have gotten just boat Race gave up two hundred and
- 4:50Speaker 2: fifty yards rushing and hung around and got us a cover. Baby,
- 4:53Speaker 2: I mean maybe, I mean it was awesome. I was
- 4:58Speaker 2: like and and But on the flip side of that,
- 5:00Speaker 2: Western Michigan should have won that game at Marshall.
- 5:03Speaker 3: Uh and and and and and.
- 5:05Speaker 2: Got a loss there, didn't even didn't even get a
- 5:07Speaker 2: cover and saw it being a high scoring game. We
- 5:10Speaker 2: talked about it obviously, Colorado, you see it? What the
- 5:13Speaker 2: hell happened to U?
- 5:14Speaker 3: See?
- 5:15Speaker 2: I mean, how do you that flat at home against Colorado?
- 5:19Speaker 3: Unbelievable?
- 5:20Speaker 1: Scott, We had four games last week.
- 5:23Speaker 4: That one, with all but one went our way.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Western Michigan should have covered against Marshall. I'm probably gonna
- 5:30Speaker 1: come back in bed appy state this week. I know
- 5:32Speaker 1: you won't play it with me. Uh, Washington, go look
- 5:36Speaker 1: at the Washington Rutgers box score and explain to me
- 5:39Speaker 1: how they won. Washington just dominate and they had all
- 5:43Speaker 1: kinds of weird shipping going on that one. Uh, the
- 5:45Speaker 1: Colorado you see f game, It hit for us because
- 5:49Speaker 1: Colorado here, because you see, if couldn't run the ball.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I never saw it coming. So yeah, it was just
- 5:56Speaker 1: a college football. Man. It's crazy. It's crazy.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Mark, I'm gonna tell you, I did not see the
- 6:02Speaker 2: Florida State Seminoles going and just dead ass quitting at
- 6:07Speaker 2: SMU last week because let me tell you something, they
- 6:10Speaker 2: scored that second touchdown to go down what were they down? Ten?
- 6:15Speaker 2: Ten or eleven something like that. Holy smokes, they just
- 6:19Speaker 2: mailed it in. I mean, and then they got drug
- 6:23Speaker 2: up and down that field. They didn't play hard. This
- 6:26Speaker 2: Clemson game is Mike Norvell's job. They have to play well.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I don't think they're good enough to win. They have
- 6:36Speaker 2: to cover this number. But I mean, nothing tells me
- 6:39Speaker 2: they're going to after what I saw on Saturday. They're
- 6:41Speaker 2: not a good football team. And then they just dead
- 6:44Speaker 2: ass quit. Are they gonna get punched in the mouth
- 6:47Speaker 2: and quit again? Because that's what they did. It was
- 6:50Speaker 2: I think mark. Mike Norvell's job is for sure on
- 6:53Speaker 2: the line. And that sounds so crazy because he went
- 6:58Speaker 2: thirteen basically thirteen and oh cause, I'm not even going
- 7:00Speaker 2: to count the loss in the ball game against Georgia
- 7:02Speaker 2: because everybody and their mother had hit the hit the portal,
- 7:05Speaker 2: or hit the or hit the draft, so I mean
- 7:07Speaker 2: that doesn't really count or was hurt, So I mean
- 7:09Speaker 2: that doesn't really count. But for thirteen and oh to dude,
- 7:14Speaker 2: what are they gonna win four games?
- 7:15Speaker 1: That team's not very good four games. I mean, it's
- 7:21Speaker 1: the stretch that they're going to get there. I don't
- 7:23Speaker 1: think it's jobs in jeopardy, just because I think they
- 7:27Speaker 1: just run missed and I don't know how you want
- 7:29Speaker 1: to pay.
- 7:29Speaker 4: That guy all the money they would owe. Here.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Now Napier loses to UCF on Saturday, and they're going
- 7:38Speaker 1: to have to make a business decision and win this game.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I had win, I.
- 7:44Speaker 3: Had this conference.
- 7:44Speaker 2: I'd see Florida winning this game too, especially after what
- 7:47Speaker 2: I watched.
- 7:48Speaker 3: But I got to tell you something.
- 7:50Speaker 2: They're saying that number I've seen everywhere from twenty five
- 7:53Speaker 2: to twenty nine millions with they'll ow sun Belt and
- 7:57Speaker 2: if they if that's true, all right, let's just say
- 8:02Speaker 2: because let's talk about Kiffin, because they're gonna end up
- 8:06Speaker 2: in the exact same boat that Texas A and M
- 8:10Speaker 2: was text saying them, couldn't go higher, marky guy, because
- 8:13Speaker 2: they ain't out of money, because you can't invest that
- 8:15Speaker 2: much in staffs and everybody.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Oh it's got money.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Oh you're kidding me, dude, You're paying out five to
- 8:24Speaker 2: ten million a year. I can't remember what that didn't
- 8:27Speaker 2: they do seven years on seven or ten, I can't remember.
- 8:31Speaker 2: But they're paying a lot of money anywhere from seven
- 8:34Speaker 2: to ten million a year to their ex coach on
- 8:38Speaker 2: top of what the coaches, the head coach is making.
- 8:41Speaker 2: You can't go pay the next guy. They're they're dudes
- 8:45Speaker 2: making nine to ten million dollars out there right now.
- 8:47Speaker 2: They're not going to hop ship to a hot mess
- 8:49Speaker 2: for less than thirteen If you've got to pay Sunbelt
- 8:54Speaker 2: five more million on top of it, that's eighteen million
- 8:58Speaker 2: and a head coach. And and then you're taking twenty
- 9:02Speaker 2: million out of your athletic budget for nil because everybody's
- 9:06Speaker 2: got to start paying out next year twenty million dollars
- 9:09Speaker 2: out of their TV revenue.
- 9:11Speaker 3: That is gigantic numbers. And I don't care for Florida,
- 9:15Speaker 3: I don't care if you're Texas, A and M.
- 9:17Speaker 2: At the end of the day, everybody's got a got
- 9:20Speaker 2: a number, and yeah, those numbers are big, But are
- 9:23Speaker 2: they really gonna pay that, Because at the end of
- 9:26Speaker 2: the day, anybody that thinks Anil's gonna stop at twenty
- 9:29Speaker 2: million until we get this deal collectively bargained is crazy.
- 9:34Speaker 3: There's gonna be up. Let's take the.
- 9:35Speaker 2: Twenty out of that and then we're gonna get ten
- 9:37Speaker 2: more from the Boosters, and the numbers are just gonna
- 9:39Speaker 2: keep going upward. That has been everything that's happened. I
- 9:43Speaker 2: don't know if they can afford the pay out sundial.
- 9:45Speaker 2: That's my old point in this. So while Florida's got
- 9:48Speaker 2: a ton of money, man, you talk about, what I
- 9:51Speaker 2: wouldn't want to be in right now is the situation
- 9:55Speaker 2: of a coach that you don't know is gonna make it.
- 9:57Speaker 2: He's struggling, and you owe him a bunch of money.
- 10:01Speaker 2: And here we are, because what are you gonna do.
- 10:03Speaker 2: You're gonna go hire Kiffin because you got to pay
- 10:05Speaker 2: Kiff in thirteen fourteen million if you get him. I
- 10:07Speaker 2: really believe that at least twelve million to get him
- 10:11Speaker 2: to leave Oxford.
- 10:12Speaker 1: Let's see how Let's see how shiny Kiffin is when
- 10:15Speaker 1: we get rolling through the season.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Yeah, because let me tell you something, every old miss
- 10:19Speaker 2: Booster buddy, Oh, we're not.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Gonna miss running bury Row. He just greed he wanted
- 10:23Speaker 3: the money.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Well, guess what, you can't run the damn ball against
- 10:26Speaker 2: the good football team. And now you got one of
- 10:28Speaker 2: your best linemen out and you're going to you better
- 10:31Speaker 2: be glad Rockett Sanders and the quarterback may not play
- 10:33Speaker 2: this weekend, or I'll be betting against you, because I'm
- 10:36Speaker 2: telling you they can't run the football and they're playing
- 10:39Speaker 2: a decent run defense this weekend, and and I'm gonna
- 10:43Speaker 2: be interested to see how that how that game goes,
- 10:45Speaker 2: that they can't run the football and that offense is
- 10:49Speaker 2: based on running the football. And if Dart's got it,
- 10:53Speaker 2: the dark three frob was three hundred yards. Mark didn't
- 10:55Speaker 2: have a pick.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Oh he's good.
- 10:58Speaker 2: You expect him to lose at home with those kinds
- 11:00Speaker 2: of numbers. They can't run the damn ball. They got problems,
- 11:03Speaker 2: They got problems. They play some good run defenses coming up,
- 11:06Speaker 2: So it's gonna be interesting to see how that deal goes.
- 11:10Speaker 1: All right, Scottie, what we do last week? Give me
- 11:12Speaker 1: some accounting.
- 11:13Speaker 2: Members seven and five, twenty nine and twenty two overall marks.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Twenty nine and twenty two.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Now bad, not bad?
- 11:20Speaker 1: All right? You ready for this. We've got a wild
- 11:22Speaker 1: week to get started. We've got a whole lot of
- 11:24Speaker 1: garbage in this game. I had to do some digging
- 11:26Speaker 1: to find some games that people might want to actually watch,
- 11:29Speaker 1: But I'm excited Thursday night. Let's get rolling with some
- 11:32Speaker 1: Sunbelt here baby. Texas State traveling to Troy, laying thirteen
- 11:37Speaker 1: and a half in this one over unders at fifty seven.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Don't have a play in this one, but I definitely
- 11:42Speaker 1: lean Texas State. This is a team that got their
- 11:45Speaker 1: guts ripped out by Sam Houston last week. After getting
- 11:48Speaker 1: up big, Sam came back, ended up winning this game,
- 11:51Speaker 1: but they traveled to Troy. I think if you're gonna
- 11:53Speaker 1: do anything, you're gonna lay it with Texas State and
- 11:55Speaker 1: this one. You got any play out here?
- 11:57Speaker 2: I do not, but I think I think after that
- 12:00Speaker 2: gut rip, this is gonna sound funny. I ain't first half.
- 12:04Speaker 2: I think it's twenty eight and a half, twenty nine
- 12:06Speaker 2: something like that. I think first half, maybe you may
- 12:09Speaker 2: get Texas State a little flat early, but I think
- 12:11Speaker 2: they cover this number. I think they drill these guys.
- 12:13Speaker 2: The safest of the bets I think is the number.
- 12:16Speaker 2: But no, I'm not gonna play this game first half.
- 12:19Speaker 1: If it takes five scores.
- 12:20Speaker 4: Sometimes I'll go under thirty.
- 12:23Speaker 1: Especially when you get into a short week. Next one
- 12:25Speaker 1: you've got.
- 12:26Speaker 4: I like this one.
- 12:27Speaker 1: I don't think you and I I like Sam here
- 12:29Speaker 1: laying ten UTIP is awful. I mean, they thought when
- 12:33Speaker 1: they hired Scotty Walden to come in there that he
- 12:35Speaker 1: would turn this thing around pretty quick or he'd get
- 12:37Speaker 1: some But this roster is just decimated. And this same
- 12:41Speaker 1: team I'm going back to last year. They started out
- 12:43Speaker 1: really nice cold and then as the season got going,
- 12:47Speaker 1: this team got better. They brought in a new defensive
- 12:50Speaker 1: coordinator this year. This team's four and one. I think
- 12:54Speaker 1: straight up and against the number in this spot here,
- 12:56Speaker 1: but they travel out to UTEP. It's a direct play
- 12:59Speaker 1: in Houston help and a half games Thursdays on a
- 13:03Speaker 1: short week. Utip's coming off of the five. I still
- 13:06Speaker 1: think Sam can get it done. I'll be laying it
- 13:08Speaker 1: with Sam that it's not official play for Sheep, but
- 13:11Speaker 1: the first one we do have Scott's Friday Night as
- 13:14Speaker 1: kicking chickens Baby. Jacksonville State will be traveling to Kennesaw
- 13:18Speaker 1: State laying sixteen and a half in this one over
- 13:21Speaker 1: Unders at forty nine are the fighting rich Rods back
- 13:25Speaker 1: on track. Can they cover this game.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I don't know if they're back on track, but they're
- 13:29Speaker 2: gonna cover. Got to think Kennessas State's overmatched first and
- 13:33Speaker 2: first year and and big boy lague. We're on the
- 13:37Speaker 2: crazy sheet. We're going back to D one and D
- 13:39Speaker 2: one double A. This is the first first first back
- 13:42Speaker 2: in d uh and D one. Kansas State's just overmatched.
- 13:47Speaker 3: Uh.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Obviously not a far trip for Jacksonville State. Just think
- 13:51Speaker 2: they're a little bit farther down the road in this
- 13:54Speaker 2: transition than Kenansas State. But overall, these are gonna be
- 13:57Speaker 2: very very similar programs down the road. Like rich Rode
- 14:00Speaker 2: here to get it done laying sixteen, this team is
- 14:03Speaker 2: kind of finding it stride after struggling a little bit. Man,
- 14:07Speaker 2: I wish rich Rod would get back on it. I
- 14:10Speaker 2: really do like the guy. I mean, he is so
- 14:12Speaker 2: funny to watch and just I would I would love
- 14:15Speaker 2: to see them do well. I mean they were nine
- 14:17Speaker 2: and four, but are bouncing back now that they're kind
- 14:20Speaker 2: of getting on their you know, kind of getting to
- 14:24Speaker 2: their level of play. This football team's looking better. And yes,
- 14:28Speaker 2: I think they get it done on the road on
- 14:30Speaker 2: Friday night.
- 14:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Two things Number one when you're looking at the MAC
- 14:35Speaker 1: when you're looking at the sun Belt.
- 14:37Speaker 4: I don't really follow a lot of I do fall out.
- 14:39Speaker 4: I'm marking too so.
- 14:40Speaker 1: But now that these teams are getting.
- 14:42Speaker 4: Back in the conference, play a lot of.
- 14:44Speaker 1: You, especially if their rosters are in good shape. They
- 14:47Speaker 1: have lost lot of players. Now you're handicapped from the summer,
- 14:50Speaker 1: can kind of start to come into it because they're
- 14:52Speaker 1: just those guys have to play those paycheck.
- 14:54Speaker 4: Games to support their programs.
- 14:56Speaker 1: But yeah, I agree with you, Kinnesaw State. If you
- 14:58Speaker 1: haven't watched them play, they look like a bad Service
- 15:01Speaker 1: Academy team. They cannot move the ball. I think Jacksonville
- 15:05Speaker 1: State shuts this team down.
- 15:06Speaker 4: It's one of those ones.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna watch it. I haven't looked yet. I'm guessing
- 15:10Speaker 1: it's gonna be on CBS Sports or something like that,
- 15:13Speaker 1: so most people do even flip their channels up that high.
- 15:15Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm rolling with you. Jacksonville State ass kicking
- 15:18Speaker 1: chickens and this one. Other games we got on Friday
- 15:20Speaker 1: night TCU Houston, Houston. Man. How about my man Willie Fritz.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Really like what he's got going here, but I think
- 15:27Speaker 1: he thinks he's playing spades, and he's going now because
- 15:30Speaker 1: he has gotten blanked the last two weeks in a
- 15:32Speaker 1: row TCU team. I don't have a lot of faith in.
- 15:34Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd want to lay sixteen and
- 15:36Speaker 1: a half or not, but I think this would be
- 15:38Speaker 1: a good spot for them to get right. I do
- 15:41Speaker 1: have together. Two games on the West Coast are interesting
- 15:43Speaker 1: to me. Oregon ly in twenty four against Michigan State.
- 15:47Speaker 1: You know, the last time that these two coaches matched up,
- 15:49Speaker 1: it was the Oregon Oregon State game and Oregon one
- 15:52Speaker 1: thirty one to seven last year against the Beaver team
- 15:55Speaker 1: that I thought was actually better than this Michigan State roster.
- 15:58Speaker 1: So I could possibly see me get involved here. But
- 16:01Speaker 1: the one I like a lot is if I can
- 16:02Speaker 1: get Syracuse plus seven, I'm gonna roll with this. Even
- 16:05Speaker 1: though be switched quarterbacks last week. We talked about this
- 16:09Speaker 1: coming into the game, a lot of hype around it,
- 16:12Speaker 1: new quarterbacks slinging the ball. Everybody's like, oh, he's better
- 16:15Speaker 1: than the rest, blah blah blah blah blah. Whatever. They
- 16:18Speaker 1: win the game against Presno State, dominating fashion, by the way,
- 16:22Speaker 1: and then you've got Syracuse traveling all the way across
- 16:25Speaker 1: the country into a short week. But I kind of
- 16:27Speaker 1: like Syracuse plus seven give me some of the for
- 16:30Speaker 1: Animal plus seven on Friday night and this. If I
- 16:32Speaker 1: get at seven, I'll play at six and a half,
- 16:34Speaker 1: I'll play past That's interesting.
- 16:37Speaker 2: You know, Q is pretty pretty good on third down,
- 16:42Speaker 2: on third down defense and third down run, which is
- 16:45Speaker 2: one stat that I was kind of going through this
- 16:47Speaker 2: week popped out to me. So I can I can
- 16:50Speaker 2: get behind this. I would call this a more of
- 16:53Speaker 2: a more of a lean for me, but I can
- 16:56Speaker 2: get behind I can get behind this because that just
- 16:59Speaker 2: I think may be that I think that's too many points.
- 17:03Speaker 3: It's well.
- 17:03Speaker 1: And the other thing too, is you got UNLV getting
- 17:05Speaker 1: ranked for the first time. I mean you've got to realize, like, yes,
- 17:08Speaker 1: this UNLB roster, I mean they're ranked. People have been
- 17:11Speaker 1: talking about him nationally now for like ten days with
- 17:13Speaker 1: the quarterback opting out last Wednesday, and so there's just
- 17:17Speaker 1: a lot of excitement around, you know, and I'm for it. Look,
- 17:20Speaker 1: I'm all about the Rebel Roller. I can always tell
- 17:22Speaker 1: people that haven't watched him though, because somebody on TV
- 17:26Speaker 1: the other day was talking about the Rebel Roller i'ment. No.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Did you see, by the way, the JMU head coach,
- 17:32Speaker 2: who is the old holy Cross coach who was coaching
- 17:37Speaker 2: the UNLV guy so he can't did you see his
- 17:41Speaker 2: speech this week coming outfits of it fabulous? So they
- 17:45Speaker 2: asked him about it in his press conference. He said, well,
- 17:48Speaker 2: I not talked to him, but he said, I do
- 17:50Speaker 2: know this. He was like, I'm always going to defend
- 17:53Speaker 2: my ex players, and he said, but I can tell
- 17:56Speaker 2: you that this isn't about money. Something's going on that
- 18:01Speaker 2: he's uncomfortable with. I don't know what that is, but
- 18:05Speaker 2: something has made him uncomfortable because he turned down significantly
- 18:09Speaker 2: more money to stay at UNLV because after the spring,
- 18:14Speaker 2: we had multiple teams reach out to me about reaching
- 18:19Speaker 2: out to him that were hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- 18:24Speaker 3: It was interesting.
- 18:25Speaker 2: And he said, but he's a kid who's gonna stick
- 18:27Speaker 2: once he gives his word, he's committed to something and
- 18:30Speaker 2: he goes. So that's that, he said, That's what I
- 18:32Speaker 2: know about the young man. I thought that was a
- 18:36Speaker 2: fabulous answer.
- 18:37Speaker 3: On his part.
- 18:39Speaker 2: You want your kid to be playing for a guy
- 18:41Speaker 2: like that. He removes himself by already saying I don't
- 18:45Speaker 2: know the details whether he does or not, it's irrelevant.
- 18:48Speaker 2: Great way to say it, and I mean it was
- 18:50Speaker 2: a clinic and how to handle a question.
- 18:53Speaker 3: But then he defends his kid.
- 18:55Speaker 2: You want your players to feel like you got their back.
- 18:59Speaker 2: And Buddy, he's the first year in a program program's
- 19:04Speaker 2: doing really well. We're gonna talk about him in a minute,
- 19:06Speaker 2: but Buddy, that was a fabulous speech. And you talk
- 19:09Speaker 2: about laying down the hammer and letting kids know, Buddy,
- 19:12Speaker 2: I got your back if you do the right stuff.
- 19:15Speaker 2: That was a great way to do it. And not
- 19:16Speaker 2: even talking about anybody on his own team. I thought
- 19:19Speaker 2: it was a clinic clinic for a first year or
- 19:22Speaker 2: a young head coach on how to handle a player
- 19:24Speaker 2: that's no longer owned involved in your program.
- 19:29Speaker 1: Well, this may be just a J and you podcast apparently,
- 19:31Speaker 1: because the next game I've got on the sheet, baby,
- 19:34Speaker 1: is a little Indiana Northwestern on Saturday. I'll be playing
- 19:38Speaker 1: there up there at the little municipal stadium that Northwestern's
- 19:41Speaker 1: got right there on the ocean, right.
- 19:43Speaker 3: There on the lake.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Can't watch you go check it out. It's super unique.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Indiana Land thirteen and a half over under here is
- 19:50Speaker 1: at forty two. You got kids getting ready to dress
- 19:53Speaker 1: up as cigarettes for Halloween around Indiana. I going Hoosiers here,
- 19:58Speaker 1: baby coaching ed he just wins Google it like he
- 20:01Speaker 1: came into it. This team's been a wagon all season.
- 20:04Speaker 1: They've got thirteen players that transferred over from jam You
- 20:08Speaker 1: you've got the Missile, the Maple Missile Roorke that transferred
- 20:12Speaker 1: over for Ohio. With this Indiana team, they've.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Having a great year, by the way.
- 20:17Speaker 1: Fantastic season. They are ranked for the first time. So
- 20:21Speaker 1: it's the opposite of what I was just talking about.
- 20:23Speaker 1: The UNLB spotts there. But I like this Indiana team.
- 20:26Speaker 1: And also I don't like this Northwestern team whatsoever. It's
- 20:30Speaker 1: kind of one of those ones that they're just not
- 20:32Speaker 1: there much for it. So give me Indiana minus thirteen
- 20:35Speaker 1: and a half. I would definitely want this minus two touchdowns.
- 20:38Speaker 2: Look, unless Indiana brings a lot of people, there might
- 20:41Speaker 2: have been more people at my son's middle school game
- 20:43Speaker 2: than'll be at this game. That stadium is not a
- 20:47Speaker 2: home field advantage now there.
- 20:49Speaker 3: I mean this.
- 20:50Speaker 2: There are practice facilities that have more seats than that stadium. Uh,
- 20:54Speaker 2: it is crazy, crazy what they're playing in I'm like you,
- 21:01Speaker 2: I like Indiana here. I think that Signetti is just Wow.
- 21:05Speaker 2: They landed, they hit a home run in this coaching
- 21:08Speaker 2: hire and just and it's paying offense paids. Give me
- 21:12Speaker 2: Signetti more than give me Indiana. The dude just wins.
- 21:16Speaker 2: Like you said, good me.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Let's go to MAC Game of the Week, Baby Bowling
- 21:20Speaker 1: Green traveling to Akron. Bowling Green's laying fifteen in this
- 21:25Speaker 1: one over unders it fifty one. Scotti. What's my handicap
- 21:29Speaker 1: from MAC Game of the Week?
- 21:31Speaker 2: I think Bowling Green's the best team in the league.
- 21:33Speaker 2: I think Akron's Achron. That's the bottom line. I really
- 21:37Speaker 2: like this Bowling Green team. You look at them, you
- 21:38Speaker 2: look at the record. They're one in three, but man,
- 21:41Speaker 2: they've done some good things. They were I thought they
- 21:43Speaker 2: played really well in College Station a couple of weeks ago,
- 21:47Speaker 2: and that's really what sold me. And I thought they
- 21:49Speaker 2: played well in another game earlier in the year. They
- 21:52Speaker 2: got a cover earlier in the year in one of
- 21:55Speaker 2: the big games. I'm telling you this, this is looking
- 21:58Speaker 2: like the best team in the MAC and if they're not,
- 22:00Speaker 2: they're right at the top. As we have talked about
- 22:03Speaker 2: multiple times, the talent gap and the MAC gets big
- 22:08Speaker 2: and especially early in the season before guys starting getting
- 22:11Speaker 2: beat up and are in.
- 22:13Speaker 3: I think Bowling Green dust these guys.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Look, Akron got drilled by Miami last week. Bowling Green's
- 22:18Speaker 2: a better football team, not Miami by Ohio last week.
- 22:23Speaker 2: And uh, I think Bowling Green's a better football team
- 22:26Speaker 2: at Ohio.
- 22:26Speaker 3: I think they drill Achron.
- 22:27Speaker 1: This week too. I can get down with that one
- 22:30Speaker 1: pretty easy. Scotty. Let's travel a game in Middle America.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Baby Corn get it done last week against Purdue. Took
- 22:37Speaker 1: him a while to get that thing rolling. They absolutely
- 22:40Speaker 1: dominated Purdue. Purdue can't score. If you want to lay
- 22:43Speaker 1: it against Purdue every week, I would tell you go
- 22:45Speaker 1: for it because that team offensively challenged.
- 22:48Speaker 2: Did you say they fired Graham Harrol this week? Did
- 22:51Speaker 2: they going to going to a former high school football
- 22:54Speaker 2: coach who was on staff, bringing him up to call
- 22:58Speaker 2: plays and all of that? So Graham Harrol out at Indiana?
- 23:01Speaker 2: Uh four games into a second season, as O.
- 23:04Speaker 1: See oh out at Produce.
- 23:06Speaker 3: I mean said Indiana, sorry Produce.
- 23:08Speaker 1: I may I don't like whiskey at all, but I
- 23:10Speaker 1: was impressed what they were able to do last week
- 23:12Speaker 1: against USC In the first half of that game, I
- 23:16Speaker 1: may lay it with whiskey. We'll see what you get
- 23:18Speaker 1: the Saturday. But let's talk about another game of the
- 23:20Speaker 1: Big Ten. Rutgers playing Nebraska. Rutgers, bro We've been all
- 23:25Speaker 1: this team all season, but I like Nebraska too. I
- 23:28Speaker 1: love Matt Rule. I think he's one of the better coaches.
- 23:31Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna turn this Nebraska thing around. I'm
- 23:33Speaker 1: just telling you, I got a lot of faith in him.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Laying seven here, Rutgers getting it? Can we get it
- 23:38Speaker 1: done when we're low total forty one and a half
- 23:41Speaker 1: in this one? Man, I where were we going Scarlet
- 23:44Speaker 1: Knights or we going corn?
- 23:45Speaker 3: Man?
- 23:46Speaker 2: I like the Scarlet Knights. I'm all right, I'm gonna
- 23:48Speaker 2: ride these boys till they buck me. I'm getting points
- 23:50Speaker 2: in this ball game, uh man.
- 23:52Speaker 3: I just think.
- 23:53Speaker 2: Look, I'm not saying they're gonna go win. Do I
- 23:56Speaker 2: think they can win one hundred percent. They're gonna win ugly,
- 23:59Speaker 2: just like they did last week. Nebraska is one of
- 24:02Speaker 2: those teams that I think you can win ugly against.
- 24:06Speaker 2: And I think that while they're gonna really have trouble
- 24:09Speaker 2: running the football enough to really produce offensively. I just
- 24:16Speaker 2: I think their defense is gonna give Nebraska lots of
- 24:19Speaker 2: problems too. This is gonna be a fight in a
- 24:21Speaker 2: phone booth. Rutgers just feels like an experienced team that's
- 24:25Speaker 2: figuring out how to get it done. I do love
- 24:28Speaker 2: their running backs though, they got some guys that get
- 24:30Speaker 2: after it. And I like this Rutgers team.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Oh man, it's I roll with you on this one.
- 24:36Speaker 1: I like Rutgers Charlotte Knights plus seven. Let's get this
- 24:39Speaker 1: one done. Game we don't have on the board. But
- 24:41Speaker 1: I just want your first glance opinion. Are you laying
- 24:44Speaker 1: fourteen and a half with Clemson against Florida State in Tallahassee? Oh,
- 24:49Speaker 1: new quarterback coming in this one? If I gave you
- 24:52Speaker 1: two hundred bucks, what side of you bet on this one?
- 24:53Speaker 3: Oh?
- 24:54Speaker 2: I would bet Clemson if I bet it, There's no
- 24:56Speaker 2: way not. After what I watched for SMU, I will
- 24:59Speaker 2: certain I've really had had confidence in that the talent matters. Man,
- 25:04Speaker 2: it does, and you're getting that many points on the
- 25:06Speaker 2: road against the team that's stepping up to the acc'.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Let's face it, SMU is not that good and they
- 25:13Speaker 2: hadn't been very good minus that TCU game. Uh, and
- 25:19Speaker 2: just watching FSU just lay down was just unimpressive. I
- 25:24Speaker 2: don't think they lay down against Clemson. I think they
- 25:27Speaker 2: come out and they give a fight. But boy, since
- 25:29Speaker 2: that Georgia game, Clemson's looked like the football team I
- 25:33Speaker 2: expected them to be when we took them that opening week,
- 25:37Speaker 2: And so if they play like they've been playing, they're
- 25:40Speaker 2: gonna win this ball game. U. There's reason the new
- 25:43Speaker 2: quarterback wasn't starting, and so I think he's gonna run
- 25:47Speaker 2: into problems against a good Clemson defense. So if I
- 25:50Speaker 2: was doing it, I would bet on Clemson. But I
- 25:53Speaker 2: just like I said, I think this is Norville's job.
- 25:56Speaker 2: I think he's I disagree with you. Now, I don't
- 25:58Speaker 2: think they can because look, he hasn't been the bulk
- 26:01Speaker 2: of his career. They haven't. They haven't been very good.
- 26:06Speaker 2: They went what ten and three and then had the
- 26:08Speaker 2: thirteen and one, But other than that, he's basically been
- 26:10Speaker 2: right around a five hundred football coach. And so I
- 26:14Speaker 2: think you may run into a little bit of Dan
- 26:16Speaker 2: Mullen from the Seminoles. He has a bad year, and
- 26:19Speaker 2: if it's a bad enough year, they may get They
- 26:21Speaker 2: may kick him to the curb. I think it's a rally,
- 26:24Speaker 2: so I don't That's the reason I'm not really on
- 26:27Speaker 2: board with it.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Next one, Scottie, we've got another name team James Madison
- 26:33Speaker 1: traveling to Louisiana. Monroe lying here sixteen and a half
- 26:38Speaker 1: Louisiana bunros three and one straight up and against the
- 26:41Speaker 1: number over under, and this one's at forty eight. When
- 26:45Speaker 1: you start digging into this game, there's a lot of
- 26:47Speaker 1: reasons to light Monroe. But you know, the one team
- 26:52Speaker 1: that they played that I would I'm not gonna obviously
- 26:54Speaker 1: put Texas in the same category James massive, but the
- 26:57Speaker 1: one team that they played that that's actually probably gonna
- 26:59Speaker 1: have a winning record when the season's over is Texas.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Texas random out of the building. I really like what
- 27:06Speaker 1: the new coach is jam You's doing. I like what
- 27:09Speaker 1: the coach at Monroe's doing. I plan on playing them
- 27:11Speaker 1: quite a bit as we get into a more Sunboat games.
- 27:14Speaker 1: But I think James Madison keeps it rolling here and
- 27:16Speaker 1: cover's this big number Saturday night.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Oh, I agree with you.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I think JMU has been I look, man, at the
- 27:22Speaker 2: end of the day, this has been a it's been
- 27:25Speaker 2: a it's been a fun it's been a fun team
- 27:28Speaker 2: to watch for the last couple of years. Candidly, I
- 27:31Speaker 2: mean they are really getting after it. Like I like
- 27:35Speaker 2: how Jmu has just bounced back. I love the coach,
- 27:39Speaker 2: I mean he is every How do they keep finding
- 27:41Speaker 2: these guys is what I want to know. How do
- 27:43Speaker 2: they keep finding They hit after on coach after coach
- 27:46Speaker 2: after coach, and they're not going to an interview with
- 27:49Speaker 2: Jimmy Sexton. They're going to find a guys who know
- 27:51Speaker 2: how to coach ball and man, that should be the
- 27:55Speaker 2: model for more schools, not less. I mean that it
- 27:58Speaker 2: looks like they hit another home run, another home run,
- 28:01Speaker 2: higher and jam Used just rolling. I just think they're
- 28:04Speaker 2: more talented and general Booty the all named team quarterback
- 28:08Speaker 2: doesn't get it done this week.
- 28:10Speaker 1: James Madison sixteen and a half. Let's late with that.
- 28:13Speaker 1: One's travel out West Baby Nevada. San Jose State one
- 28:17Speaker 1: of my favorite plays of the weekend. I like San
- 28:20Speaker 1: Jose State here laying six and a half, kidding them
- 28:22Speaker 1: out to Atoula. Still, he's done a really good job
- 28:26Speaker 1: with this team, and they were off last week, so
- 28:29Speaker 1: they get a chance to get ready coming into this one.
- 28:31Speaker 1: This is the team is three and one straight up.
- 28:33Speaker 1: They're four to zero against the number. I think a
- 28:36Speaker 1: lot of us think about that Nevada game Week one
- 28:39Speaker 1: when SMU you know, they gave them some troubles, and
- 28:43Speaker 1: this Nevada team is better. I mean they're two and three,
- 28:46Speaker 1: three and two last year. They're better compared to last year.
- 28:48Speaker 1: But you couldn't get much worse than last year. I
- 28:51Speaker 1: mean the two games that they've actually been competitive in
- 28:54Speaker 1: which they beat Eastern Washington, they hunt around against Georgia Southern,
- 28:57Speaker 1: which isn't very good, and then they beat to Troy
- 29:00Speaker 1: team twenty eight to six. And I don't think Troy's
- 29:02Speaker 1: that kid. So I'm rolling with I'm rolling with this.
- 29:05Speaker 4: San Jose State team.
- 29:07Speaker 1: I think they get it done. They've actually got a
- 29:08Speaker 1: pretty good passing attack in this one, and so I
- 29:12Speaker 1: give me San Jose State lay it with the Spartan
- 29:14Speaker 1: tavee six and a half. Get that one before it
- 29:16Speaker 1: creeps all the way up to seven.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.
- 29:21Speaker 2: I was on the as you know, a little bit
- 29:23Speaker 2: on the opposite side of San Jose State.
- 29:25Speaker 3: I thought, man, how is this bit gonna work? You
- 29:28Speaker 3: know they're there.
- 29:29Speaker 2: Their coach did a great job before, uh, you know,
- 29:33Speaker 2: really getting this program kind of back on track. And man,
- 29:36Speaker 2: have I been wrong. They have come in and looked fabulous.
- 29:41Speaker 2: Doesn't look anything like those Navy teams offensively, except this
- 29:47Speaker 2: team plays good, hard nose, pretty disciplined football. I like
- 29:50Speaker 2: San Jose State here. Uh, it's more of this team
- 29:54Speaker 2: feels like they got it on the track now. I
- 29:56Speaker 2: just had a pretty tough schedule to this. To this point,
- 29:59Speaker 2: they've been and tested. They almost won at SMU game
- 30:02Speaker 2: that first weekend. I just think San Jose State's got
- 30:05Speaker 2: too much firepower for him. They got a really good
- 30:07Speaker 2: wide receiver, uh that can stretch the field, and I
- 30:10Speaker 2: think that's gonna be what is the difference in this
- 30:13Speaker 2: ball game?
- 30:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you there, Scotty. Let's just say
- 30:17Speaker 1: it together because it sounds strange. We've got Virginia Tech
- 30:22Speaker 1: traveling to Stanford to play a week after the Miami game.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Oh and it's an A C C game. How strange
- 30:29Speaker 1: is it that we have two A C C games
- 30:31Speaker 1: being played but literally within an hour of each other
- 30:36Speaker 1: on the West Coast this weekend?
- 30:37Speaker 2: I know, isn't it wild cal and Stanford and the
- 30:41Speaker 2: Atlantic Coast Conference. I mean that's I mean doesn't geographically,
- 30:45Speaker 2: that just makes sense. Yeah, you know, I mean back
- 30:48Speaker 2: when I was learning the oceans, when I was a kid,
- 30:50Speaker 2: I was learning it by football conferences.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Those kids are screwed on that deal. Now they're they're
- 30:56Speaker 3: out of luck the.
- 30:59Speaker 4: California.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Yeah, that's exactly right.
- 31:03Speaker 2: Look, my buddy last week on Virginia Tech got to
- 31:05Speaker 2: tell this story. He was listened to the podcast. He's
- 31:08Speaker 2: Virginia Tech grad and he he sends me a text,
- 31:11Speaker 2: I can't believe you're going against the Hokies, which he
- 31:15Speaker 2: was laughing about us calling the Bulldogs the shit dogs,
- 31:18Speaker 2: and he said that's almost as good as what I
- 31:20Speaker 2: call the Hokies.
- 31:21Speaker 3: I said, what's the Hokies? He said the Chokeyes.
- 31:23Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I've gotta I gotta adopt that, so
- 31:27Speaker 2: so that will be on there. So shout out to
- 31:29Speaker 2: John for that. But he was letting me have it.
- 31:30Speaker 2: I think what he was really trying to do is
- 31:32Speaker 2: get a bottle of wine out of me.
- 31:33Speaker 3: Uh.
- 31:34Speaker 2: He had a lot of confidence that Tech was gonna
- 31:36Speaker 2: gonna come out and play Miami well, which they did. Uh,
- 31:40Speaker 2: we won't even talk about how the hell you overturned
- 31:42Speaker 2: that call with that video evidence, But that's a whole
- 31:45Speaker 2: nother story. I don't think he caught it, but I
- 31:47Speaker 2: don't know how in the world you overturn it either.
- 31:50Speaker 2: But this week, John, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm
- 31:55Speaker 2: going against the Hokies again. I like I like Stamford
- 31:58Speaker 2: on the road. Look, we miss Stanford Syracuse game. We
- 32:01Speaker 2: even talked about it in our lead end. This team's
- 32:03Speaker 2: better than people think, and I think this is just
- 32:07Speaker 2: a long trip after a gut wrenching loss, hard fought
- 32:11Speaker 2: loss for Virginia Tech, going all the way across the
- 32:14Speaker 2: country against a team that the record doesn't even say
- 32:17Speaker 2: they're that good, and so it's not gonna be easy
- 32:21Speaker 2: to get excited, and there's adrenaline, there's no rivalry, there's
- 32:25Speaker 2: no nothing to kind of pump you up on this game.
- 32:28Speaker 2: And you're playing a team that's pretty darn good and
- 32:30Speaker 2: they're at home, and you got to make a long,
- 32:32Speaker 2: long trip to get over there. I just think Stanford
- 32:34Speaker 2: keeps this game close and does have a chance to
- 32:38Speaker 2: get the upset against Virginia Tech.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Another game that's over there not on our board, but
- 32:43Speaker 1: I love the T shirts that they're making. So they're
- 32:45Speaker 1: having game day Cow, which is a strange decision to me,
- 32:49Speaker 1: regardless of what's on the board this week. I wanted
- 32:52Speaker 1: them to go to Washington, but I'm assuming that must
- 32:54Speaker 1: be the Fox game. I haven't looked yet, just because
- 32:56Speaker 1: the field that you dumb. I've never been to a
- 33:00Speaker 1: game there, but every time they go out there and
- 33:02Speaker 1: they play a home game. I love watching games, and
- 33:05Speaker 1: I'm fascinated with this Michigan Washington game. But having game
- 33:09Speaker 1: day at COL is so weird to me. I don't
- 33:12Speaker 1: have you ever been to Cal's campus. It's pretty, but
- 33:14Speaker 1: it's not like it's built for this type of event.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Plus it's gonna kick off at six o'clock in the morning,
- 33:20Speaker 1: Col time, and then you've got Miami flying in there.
- 33:23Speaker 1: But I love the shirts. If someone can send me
- 33:25Speaker 1: a link to get one, I'll buy one that the
- 33:27Speaker 1: Cow students have made, which is woke versus coke. Totally
- 33:31Speaker 1: on board for that. I would just wear it around
- 33:33Speaker 1: maybe Sunday night church type shirt. You never know, but
- 33:36Speaker 1: anyway I would get down with that. I'd lay it
- 33:38Speaker 1: with Miami in this Cow game. But I don't know, man,
- 33:41Speaker 1: this crystal ball. I thought he was gonna crystal ball last.
- 33:44Speaker 4: Week, but somehow they were able to pull that one out.
- 33:47Speaker 1: And I still don't know if they can call right again.
- 33:50Speaker 1: But that's what we got. But it's still strange to
- 33:52Speaker 1: me that we're gonna watch Miami and Virginia Tech travel
- 33:55Speaker 1: all the way across the country to play a conference.
- 33:58Speaker 3: Curt, Yeah, it is.
- 33:59Speaker 2: That is so strange, and man, can we fix this?
- 34:04Speaker 2: But look, everybody's complaining, everybody's I still think Greg sank.
- 34:09Speaker 3: He's got the right idea.
- 34:11Speaker 2: Keep it, keep the keep the network, keep the league,
- 34:14Speaker 2: hole it, keep it where it's.
- 34:16Speaker 3: At least got some geography sense to it.
- 34:19Speaker 2: And I think that is I think the SEC is
- 34:21Speaker 2: out doing a lot of these teams, especially when you
- 34:24Speaker 2: get to the non revenue sports. Man, it is it
- 34:27Speaker 2: going to get expensive to play one another when you're
- 34:30Speaker 2: when you got the men's and women's golf team and
- 34:32Speaker 2: crap like that, having a fly all over America.
- 34:35Speaker 3: That's just gonna be a hot mess.
- 34:38Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't disagree with you there. But again,
- 34:41Speaker 1: like you got these guys wanting to join the Mountain,
- 34:43Speaker 1: the Mountain West or whatever they're going to call this
- 34:45Speaker 1: pack Roll Team. I'm like, man, why would you get
- 34:47Speaker 1: a chice to do that? It's like that literally is
- 34:51Speaker 1: the worst conference ever. It's like they had the Rose Bowl,
- 34:55Speaker 1: They've got the West Coast locked up, and they can't
- 34:58Speaker 1: even figure out how to get their fucking on television.
- 35:01Speaker 1: I mean, it's just why would you trust the future
- 35:04Speaker 1: of your you know, your team and your university with
- 35:07Speaker 1: a bunch of as clowns that can't figure out how
- 35:09Speaker 1: to run a conference when they've got a platter that's like,
- 35:11Speaker 1: oh with a gold brick on it. It's like, you've
- 35:13Speaker 1: got name brand teams, You've got a bowl that's the
- 35:17Speaker 1: most famous bowl in the in all of them right
- 35:19Speaker 1: there in your backyard. You've got teams that can play
- 35:22Speaker 1: for the Natty year in you're out, and you can't
- 35:24Speaker 1: figure out how to keep your conference solvent? I mean,
- 35:27Speaker 1: why would you sign up for that? But anyway, no
- 35:29Speaker 1: one asked me. I just forgar bet on things, Scott.
- 35:32Speaker 1: We're betting on the getting back game this week Texas
- 35:35Speaker 1: Tech at Arizona traveling out to Tucson. You've got two
- 35:39Speaker 1: schools that are very similar geographic, regions as far as
- 35:44Speaker 1: both being locked up in a desert kind of on
- 35:46Speaker 1: an island all by himself. This game kicks off at
- 35:48Speaker 1: eleven o'clock East Coast time, thirty minutes later than the
- 35:51Speaker 1: Miami col game. By the way, Texas Tech coming in
- 35:54Speaker 1: here winning three in a row after kind of starting
- 35:57Speaker 1: off a little rocky, gets to Washington State team, it
- 36:00Speaker 1: might be better this Arizona team. On the other side.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You've got a big time white They've got three players.
- 36:06Speaker 1: You've got no Fafeta the quarterback, You've got McMillan the
- 36:09Speaker 1: wide receiver, and you've got the cornerback. That's pretty solid.
- 36:12Speaker 1: To Cario Davis, I love the good name to Carrio Davis,
- 36:16Speaker 1: by the way, all out there. But looking at this
- 36:19Speaker 1: team and what you're gonna get bro Texas Tech is interesting.
- 36:23Speaker 1: They put some points up. They struggled here, but ah,
- 36:27Speaker 1: I was there watching them play last week. Defensively, this
- 36:30Speaker 1: team is naked up the middle. They've got so many injuries,
- 36:34Speaker 1: cluster injuries at linebacker, everything else from that standpoint, But
- 36:37Speaker 1: offensively they seem to kind of weirdly figure out how
- 36:40Speaker 1: to get things done. Are we rolling with the Raiders?
- 36:43Speaker 1: Are we taking the Wildcats to bear down.
- 36:45Speaker 2: I mean, you look at this, You look at these rosters,
- 36:49Speaker 2: and man, I'm stunned. Brent Brennan had really gotten them
- 36:52Speaker 2: rolling better than they are man at Case State just
- 36:57Speaker 2: I may put what I mean, just put wood to them,
- 37:00Speaker 2: and I just can't help. Tech has hung around after
- 37:05Speaker 2: that Wazoo game. They if they have just figured I
- 37:10Speaker 2: mean I thought they were going to get drilled by
- 37:14Speaker 2: Arizona State.
- 37:15Speaker 3: They didn't. They figured out how to get it done.
- 37:18Speaker 2: This team just feels like they're able to keep it close,
- 37:24Speaker 2: just offensively, and I don't really know how they're doing it,
- 37:28Speaker 2: but I think that's exactly what's going to happen again.
- 37:30Speaker 2: I like them to stay within this number. But as
- 37:34Speaker 2: bad as that defense is, you feel like this could
- 37:37Speaker 2: be high scoring too.
- 37:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to looking for a seven is what
- 37:42Speaker 1: I'd like to do. That If I can get a
- 37:43Speaker 1: Texas Tech plus seven, I'm excited about that spot.
- 37:47Speaker 4: So I hope I don't have to buy the hood
- 37:49Speaker 4: that I'm.
- 37:49Speaker 1: Looking for a Texas Tech plus seven and based on
- 37:52Speaker 1: the money splits right now, you'll be holding that ticket
- 37:54Speaker 1: by yourself because there's not a whole lot of money
- 37:56Speaker 1: coming in on the Texas Tech Red Raiders, which I'm
- 37:58Speaker 1: not surprised about. You got the other plays, that's our
- 38:01Speaker 1: board for the week. You got the other plays.
- 38:03Speaker 4: You kind of like this week?
- 38:04Speaker 3: I do. I got a couple I like.
- 38:06Speaker 2: I like Georgia laying the twenty four after the gut wrench.
- 38:10Speaker 2: They're going to play a rivalry game against Auburn. This
- 38:12Speaker 2: is the most played game in the Southeastern Conference.
- 38:15Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Actually I shouldn't say that it's the oldest game. I'm
- 38:18Speaker 2: not positive it's the most played game. It is the
- 38:22Speaker 2: oldest rivalry in the Southeastern Conference. I think Georgia gets
- 38:26Speaker 2: over there with their hair on fire. They're coming home,
- 38:29Speaker 2: They're going into it off week. They're playing a rival.
- 38:32Speaker 2: Everybody's all but Auburn keeps this game close until you
- 38:36Speaker 2: go look at it. In the last nine years since
- 38:38Speaker 2: Kirby's been there, and really the last seven, they've popped them.
- 38:42Speaker 2: They've won by over twenty points multiple times. I think
- 38:46Speaker 2: they get over here and get it done. It's the
- 38:48Speaker 2: turnovers at Auburn that just, I mean, continue to be
- 38:52Speaker 2: a problem.
- 38:52Speaker 3: They are a disaster. They're going on the road.
- 38:56Speaker 2: I just think Georgia gets it done in working fashion
- 39:01Speaker 2: and gets out of there with they thirty eight fourteen,
- 39:03Speaker 2: thirty eight ten, something like that kind of game.
- 39:07Speaker 3: They're laying twenty four. I think they get over that number.
- 39:10Speaker 2: I just don't think Auburn's gonna be able to score
- 39:13Speaker 2: on this football team. And I think it could get
- 39:16Speaker 2: I think it could get ugly. I mean this, if
- 39:19Speaker 2: this game is forty one to ten, it wouldn't surprize me.
- 39:22Speaker 2: And I think Georgia is gonna I think George is
- 39:24Speaker 2: gonna put it. Georgia football team's good, and they answered
- 39:28Speaker 2: a lot of questions about bouncing back. So I like
- 39:32Speaker 2: this Georgia team. And then also I got a little
- 39:34Speaker 2: bit of love for usc going on the road. They
- 39:38Speaker 2: have Penn Stak coming in next week at home, but
- 39:41Speaker 2: they're going too many. I just don't think Many can
- 39:43Speaker 2: keep up with them. They should have won that game
- 39:45Speaker 2: at Michigan. Many app Minnesota is not Michigan as they were,
- 39:50Speaker 2: as was shown last week. I just think se gets
- 39:54Speaker 2: it done here laying what feels like a short number
- 39:57Speaker 2: in eight. I think Many will play hard, but don't
- 40:00Speaker 2: think they got the weapons to keep up.
- 40:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a couple more for you. I'm gonna
- 40:04Speaker 1: go little comandther in Chief. I'm gonna lay it with
- 40:07Speaker 1: Navy in this game here. Air Force a lot of
- 40:10Speaker 1: young kids on this roster. They lost a ton of
- 40:13Speaker 1: turnover And if you haven't watched Navy play this year,
- 40:15Speaker 1: this is not two years ago. Navy. Uh, they throw
- 40:19Speaker 1: the rock bro I mean they're averaging coasse of two
- 40:21Speaker 1: hundred yards of a game in the air. And I
- 40:23Speaker 1: also like Army again to stay a wagon against Tulsa.
- 40:26Speaker 1: This maybe the last weekend. I bailed a bet on
- 40:28Speaker 1: this team, but Tulsa kind of ant around on there.
- 40:31Speaker 1: But I just think Armies once they get that offense rolling,
- 40:35Speaker 1: it's so hard to stop. And between the quarterback and uh,
- 40:39Speaker 1: it's a kid's named Kanye Udo, the running back that
- 40:41Speaker 1: Army's got. They've been so strong upfront, it's so hard
- 40:45Speaker 1: to get ready for these teams. I'm gonna roll with those.
- 40:47Speaker 1: And I got another one for you that I it's
- 40:50Speaker 1: it's a.
- 40:50Speaker 4: Lot of points haven't laid yet.
- 40:53Speaker 1: Yukon minus seventeen against Temple. Temple has got to be
- 40:57Speaker 1: the worst program in the country. If they're not some
- 41:00Speaker 1: please raise the five and show me who they are.
- 41:02Speaker 1: And this Yukon team is way better.
- 41:05Speaker 4: Than most people think they are.
- 41:06Speaker 1: I mean they're three and two straight up with their
- 41:08Speaker 1: four and one against the number. I played them against
- 41:11Speaker 1: Buffalo last week and that was a sleeper with minus
- 41:14Speaker 1: six and they won forty seven to three. I mean
- 41:17Speaker 1: week before that they played Florida. Atlantic line was one
- 41:20Speaker 1: and it's forty eight to fourteen. And so I'm just
- 41:23Speaker 1: telling you, man, I think when they're matched up against
- 41:26Speaker 1: these bad teams, I don't know that they've caught up
- 41:28Speaker 1: to them. What the number is there, And if you're
- 41:30Speaker 1: a Yukon, you don't get scared about hanging one on
- 41:32Speaker 1: somebody because you know you're gonna probably get your head
- 41:35Speaker 1: kicked in against somebody else. So I would lay it
- 41:37Speaker 1: with Yukon there. I've got the two service academies, two
- 41:41Speaker 1: that I like, still kind of like Applechan State getting
- 41:44Speaker 1: plus three in this game against Marshall, but I don't
- 41:47Speaker 1: know if I'll get involved. And then, like you said,
- 41:50Speaker 1: South Carolina, they're healthy plus nine and a half. I
- 41:53Speaker 1: probably place South here if I can get a Seller's
- 41:55Speaker 1: and Rocket Sanders thumbs up that they are playing in
- 41:58Speaker 1: this game I think you got.
- 42:00Speaker 4: To go with that and a half.
- 42:01Speaker 2: What you think, Oh yeah, if they're playing, yeah, I
- 42:06Speaker 2: think this.
- 42:06Speaker 3: I mean, heck, i've seen this game besides nine.
- 42:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I absolutely think this could be a could be
- 42:13Speaker 2: a really close game. Look, Old missus good stopping to
- 42:16Speaker 2: run too. They're not able to run it, but they're
- 42:18Speaker 2: good stopping to run. But I think with those two guys,
- 42:22Speaker 2: that's that's how South Carolina is going to be good
- 42:25Speaker 2: enough to good enough to keep this game close.
- 42:27Speaker 3: Hey, don't forget this.
- 42:28Speaker 2: South Carolina team went pounded the Kentucky team they just lost,
- 42:33Speaker 2: and and pounded them on the road. South Carolina team's
- 42:36Speaker 2: not bad. They could certainly if Old miss can't run
- 42:39Speaker 2: the football, they could give Old Miss a lot of problems.
- 42:43Speaker 1: And I'm gonna give you one more to watch. And
- 42:45Speaker 1: we talked about this a couple of years ago because
- 42:47Speaker 1: we're here trying to find new ways to make money
- 42:49Speaker 1: all the time. And we did this with Penn State
- 42:51Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. With Pitt State, second half
- 42:55Speaker 1: was just so much better than the first half. And
- 42:57Speaker 1: we started playing it and it I think you we
- 43:00Speaker 1: won four out of six weeks or something like that.
- 43:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna give your team to keep your eye on
- 43:04Speaker 1: the second half games Texas A and M line. Here
- 43:07Speaker 1: is Texas A and M minus two and a half
- 43:08Speaker 1: against Missouri. Uh, Missouri. I mean they're gonna score some points.
- 43:12Speaker 1: I don't know if was gonna show down, but I
- 43:15Speaker 1: just feel like Elko sees the game and he seems
- 43:18Speaker 1: to make these adjustments at halftime that really have done
- 43:21Speaker 1: a good job shutting down what the other team has
- 43:24Speaker 1: found ways to exploit. Now, granted they haven't covered, you know,
- 43:28Speaker 1: except in that Florida game all season long, so I
- 43:31Speaker 1: don't know if i'd want to lay it with them
- 43:32Speaker 1: here against Missouri, but just keep an eye on second
- 43:35Speaker 1: halfs in the in the in those games because he's
- 43:38Speaker 1: done a pretty good job of figuring out what's working
- 43:40Speaker 1: for the other team and starting to shut that down,
- 43:42Speaker 1: shift the coverages, whatever it's been. So I'm just putting
- 43:45Speaker 1: that out there as a seat I want to play it.
- 43:47Speaker 3: Let me tell you something, the get this done.
- 43:51Speaker 2: Guess who's got a Guess who's got an outside shot
- 43:54Speaker 2: at the playoffs. They're gonna start one in some games
- 44:01Speaker 2: down the stretch. That got Mississippi State on the road
- 44:03Speaker 2: coming up. That's another W. I mean that you start
- 44:07Speaker 2: looking and their losses are going to be the Notre
- 44:10Speaker 2: Dame who's Who's pretty good football team still has a
- 44:13Speaker 2: chance to make the playoff going probably the Texas at
- 44:16Speaker 2: the end of the year, but that's gonna be a
- 44:17Speaker 2: humpdinger of a ball game to end the year. So
- 44:20Speaker 2: I mean you start looking around, they Aggie start getting
- 44:23Speaker 2: their eyes on getting into a top twelve spot and
- 44:26Speaker 2: making the playoffs. So this is a huge game for
- 44:29Speaker 2: the first for the first week in October when you
- 44:32Speaker 2: start talking about seedings and placements and things, because the
- 44:36Speaker 2: bottom line is top four SEC teams are getting in
- 44:39Speaker 2: maybe a fifth depending on what goes on in the
- 44:42Speaker 2: rest of the conferences. Man, the winner of this ball
- 44:46Speaker 2: game got a real shock to be that fifteenth.
- 44:49Speaker 1: I agree with you. And it's weird that they put
- 44:51Speaker 1: this in a sleepy eleven o'clock spot too. And if
- 44:56Speaker 1: there's any stadium that can be rocking at the eleven
- 44:58Speaker 1: am It Skyfield, you got all those Aggies that'll get
- 45:01Speaker 1: out there and get it rolling.
- 45:02Speaker 3: But you know they have stayed out drinking the night before.
- 45:07Speaker 1: Oh, we don't have to go down that road. Scott.
- 45:09Speaker 1: If we're putting the money line underdog parlay together, what
- 45:14Speaker 1: is your end of this thing that you've looked into?
- 45:16Speaker 2: This man, I'm gonna tell you my buddy John, he's
- 45:21Speaker 2: gonna be going bananas. But I'm gonna I'm gonna roll
- 45:24Speaker 2: me up a little Stanford and that is gonna kind
- 45:31Speaker 2: of surprise some people. And I'm gonna roll up a
- 45:33Speaker 2: little Syracuse.
- 45:36Speaker 1: Well, we're in line with each other because I was
- 45:38Speaker 1: on Syracuse plus two oh five Stanford. What's the number
- 45:42Speaker 1: on that one?
- 45:42Speaker 2: I had two twenty five two and a quarter in
- 45:45Speaker 2: my book is what it is right now.
- 45:47Speaker 1: That's a good that's a good money line parlay. Money
- 45:50Speaker 1: line underdog parlay. Stanford and Syracuse will be our two
- 45:53Speaker 1: plays in that one. Folks give us some reviews, give
- 45:56Speaker 1: us some like, hit us up on Twitter. It all helps.
- 45:58Speaker 1: We enjoy the feedback. It's all.
