For Turner Glory podcast, Cutter's Arbadnicky, Austin Rose, Dakota Free Tag,
0:23
All the Boys are back. Austin has not heard the big news breaking yet
0:29
out of Monday night getting Dylan Rayola. Oh I saw the crystal ball or
0:40
you must not be excited for it as we are. I have my doubts.
0:46
Everyone's all giddy for this. Do you like the newer giddy dak for
0:52
some reason? Just like you know, well, I just haven't slept since
0:56
the Vikings won three nothing last night and covered you bet they did. Oh,
1:07
a lot of a lot of a lot of quarterbacks wanted to come to
1:10
Lincoln now apparently, and and we are just right on our way to win
1:15
another offseason Natty title as expected. I don't know what's going to happen here,
1:22
guys, because obviously the news just broke that crystal ball prediction and sources
1:26
saying it's a lock, all of like the freshman players with the double I
1:32
emojis saying that Rayol is basically a lot to come here now for whatever changed.
1:38
And then cal McCord I believe is on a visit here currently after we
1:42
speak, and with that potentially comes Marcus Fleming, the receiver from the Buckeyes
1:49
as well. So I mean we go from Jeff Simms and Heiner Carberg and
1:53
Chubb A. Purdy to those two. I think we'll take it. I
1:57
think, I think. I don't know. I agree, you'll you'll mike
2:00
your qbs from last year. You think so, Dak, I don't know.
2:09
I think. I well, I felt hard for this. I thought
2:14
I thought it was real for the last couple of days, and finally I
2:15
found out his fake. Some Twitter count said Sims went to Miami. So
2:20
I was telling everybody I saw the same thing too, and I like,
2:24
get the double check, see if that was true or not. Yeah,
2:29
he did not. So those two do both of them want to come?
2:34
That's my question, I guess, like, is it is it who pulls
2:38
the trigger first? Is it is McCord the guarante not guaranteed, but the
2:44
favored starter or I mean, the only reason why I can think Roola all
2:49
of a sudden wants to come here now is that he maybe he knows he's
2:52
not going to start at Georgia next year and he wants to go somewhere where
2:54
he can start right away. Well, I mean, if we're getting McCord
2:58
here too. I would. I think it'd be a quarterback battle between the
3:04
two. Has one year of eligibility, correct, I don't. I think
3:09
he's got several. I think maybe is he a senior? I I feel
3:15
like he's very young. I'll look it up. I thought he was a
3:20
sophomore. So yeah, I just think that creates obviously a lot of good,
3:27
good prize. It stands right now, Kyle mccordor only has one year
3:30
of eligibility remaining, starting every game this season for the Buckeys and period five
3:34
games of twenty twenty one, seven games of twenty twenty two behind C.
3:37
J. Stroud. Perfect. So we get McCord we get him for a
3:40
year, and then Riola gets the rest of it. And I don't know
3:46
does Riola want to do that? I'm not sure can draws the short straw
3:50
he does. I saw a tweet that that was it. Fam Will said
3:55
that Nebraska coaches said they will honor kaylee commitment in his scholarship position regardless of
4:02
what happens with Delan Royola. So the fact that they've had the conversation makes
4:05
you think it's pretty close. Yeah, was pretty much if he's if there's
4:15
all his news coming out and he's already doing a visit and stuff, it's
4:18
got to be almost sent in Stone. He's gonna be pretty excited Dak for
4:21
twenty twenty five when transfers to OU because oh yeah, Nebraska, we don't
4:29
need him. We got a four star stud or a four year stud.
4:34
Who's that? Yeah, Jackson Arnold? Remember that name? A two time
4:41
Heisman winner? Yeah? Okay, Hey, at least I can cheer from
4:47
Dalan Gabriel though he didn't go to USC. We're all good, that's true.
4:55
You are on the line. Oh, I forgot to tell you,
4:58
guys, to U. I was in Manhattan last weekend and there was rumors
5:01
flying around that Lincoln Riley was in town visiting Will Howard, and I was
5:06
on a mission to find that guy. I wanted to get peace to my
5:09
mind. Never saw him though, figure it out, Nope, I was
5:14
on I was on a mission. I would have told that guy, what's
5:16
up. I still want Will Howard, guys, I still want him over
5:23
those two Really I do, I do, guys. Wow, No,
5:29
I think I'd actually take Rayola obviously for four years, but I think Will
5:33
Howard over record. I think I think I would both have one year left.
5:40
Man, there are so many tweets from all of the recruits and all
5:43
the football players. Oh, it's crazy and all I've seen it's a done
5:46
deal. I don't know his visits, not until I think this weekend Friday
5:49
through Sunday. I know Dak's going up and is going to convince him to
5:54
come, right, Yeah, I got my sign ready. Signing day is
5:58
Monday? Correct, the seventeenth, isn't the official signing early day? Couldn't
6:04
tell you. Probably Probably, it's usually right around the middle of December.
6:10
I think if I remember right, there's like eight of those. Now.
6:13
There used to be just one big one and now the good old days,
6:16
and now it's now there's like eight of them. Yeah, yeah, I
6:21
mean great, we have both of them. Dylan realisits red shirts a year.
6:28
Cal McCord comes in, stays the ship. It's an upgrade. P
6:32
Chabba P chabba. Yeah, okay, he had his chance. Well are
6:40
you those two gonna dip? I would guess so, especially if they both
6:47
come, Yeah, you would think you want to go start for a Southern
6:53
Myss or a Rice party. For sure. I could see Harvard maybe sticking
6:58
around. He's an in state guys, so yeah, but yeah, man,
7:05
spicy Narrasca football news. Yeah, coming off in December, coming off
7:11
a couple of big wins by other programs here and that. Where I think
7:15
we want to spend a lot of time talking about today is let's start with
7:18
volleyball. Uh tickets to Tampa yet, No, I thought tickets are actually
7:26
pretty cheap for the games. It's like sixty bucks per game. You can
7:30
drop on a hundred twenty bucks and go to the final four, end the
7:31
championship. Dak, you want to pay for the whole pod to go?
7:36
Yeah? I was actually gonna ask you guys, you guys want to go
7:39
write it off as a business expense. I'll talk to our sponsors. How
7:45
quickly can we set up an LLC tomorrow? Dak got that? I got
7:50
us. We're going that knows the guy. Yeah. I was trying to
7:56
find flights that were cheap the but the the problem is with the game being
8:01
Sunday afternoon and Thursday night, the cheapest flints like I find were like,
8:07
we basically have to be in Tampa for a week, and I know Dak
8:11
couldn't handle that. No, I'd be way too nervous during that volleyball game.
8:16
I'm jacked up for that. So what are someone looked this up as
8:22
we're talking. What are the betting odds right now? I would think that
8:24
we're probably the favorites. But it's US Pittsburgh and then on the other side,
8:31
Texas and Wisconsin. All right, let's go two days ago Draft Kings.
8:37
Who Dak Who would you rather play? If you're Nebraska Volleyball, Texas
8:41
or Wisconsin. Now we obviously have to win the first one, But who
8:43
are you rooting for on the other side? Bright Texas? If you you
8:50
you're rooting for Texas, you I'm not. Oh, I'm not, You're
8:52
God. No, Now, Texas didn't knocked us out last year. Great,
9:01
I didn't watch a lick of Texas folleyballs year, But boy was I
9:03
teering hard for Wisconsin or who Texas plays? There? Someone they played Saturday
9:07
there on the TV. The other team Tennessee. Yep, not a big
9:13
rocky top guy. No, I'm a I'll say one thing, They'll shout
9:18
out Oregon and you know what I'm talking about. Please explain, Dac,
9:26
Please, just please explain to the audience. They're just fun to watch.
9:33
They're really fun the way they play. It's a really fun team to watch.
9:37
I can't find the odds for the whole tournament, but Pitt's favored over
9:41
Louisville. Nebraska's minus three sixty to beat. Oh wait, no, man,
9:46
this is you're a good old odd we played. What the hell?
9:50
I'll keep looking. I didn't say minus three sixty to win it all.
9:54
That's that'd be insane. It's kind of hard to find these odds. Oddly
9:58
enough, I will say I I don't want to play Wisconsin. I really
10:03
don't. I just I there's just something about Nebraska Wisconsin. I just I'd
10:09
rather play Texas. But maybe that's just me. I'd like to see a
10:16
rematch of Wisconsin Nebraska just as a I don't know if I'll watch it either
10:22
way, but that brought me the best match I'll be able Nebraska. Yep,
10:33
I say that the last game win against Wisconsin's enough for me to want
10:39
to avoid I don't I don't like our odds. Yep, Well you not.
10:48
Oh, I'm ready to be done talking about volleyball, are you not,
10:50
dak Oh? I was just saying, you can find South Korean volleyball
10:54
you cannot find. You cannot financiate volleyball ods. Oh but without Korean men's
11:01
villeyball you can. Who do you got in that one? You know what?
11:05
I didn't click on it? Well, Nebraska basketball, let's go,
11:15
because here's here's the thing. Guys. We went one and one last week,
11:18
as expected, right, yeah, we did. I mean, that's
11:24
the takeaway. I think the obvious frustrating part is that loss to Minnesota on
11:31
Wednesday. It is it's a very very bad loss, and you hope that
11:37
maybe Minnesota is able to do something and get towards the top half of the
11:43
bottom in the Big Ten and not be the very bottom. But I just
11:48
have a feeling that's not how it's gonna go, especially after watching him in
11:50
the first half against US. It looked like we were doing exactly what we
11:56
should and then it flipped and it just looked like typical Fred Hoiberg teams that
12:03
we've seen in the past. And I don't know that lost hurt on Wednesday,
12:11
and want to touch on that first before we jump into Sunday's win,
12:16
but it it is, that's the one everybody looks at at the end of
12:18
the year. If you're fighting to get a tournament bid, you say who
12:22
has got bad losses? And you circle that one. You said, AD's
12:26
a horrible loss to a poor conference opponent. Some news outlets said it's the
12:33
worst loss in nebrask sports history. Don't know if I go that far.
12:39
Podcast Dak All sports Dak, who use your swords? I can't even I
12:52
can't remember what it's called. Oh single digit pod? Oh okay, yeah,
12:58
I thought you they tweeted. No, I was in the source,
13:01
that's that's they tweeted. But yeah, but yeah, that was a bad
13:07
that second half. That first half. I they looked great, Bryce,
13:11
Bryce Williams looked amazing that first half. I don't know what they did the
13:13
second half, but that fifteen point leave was gone quicker than I've ever saw
13:18
someone blow lead. It was gone like four minutes and a half. They
13:20
went ice cold. But it was also nice to like I shouldn't say nice,
13:24
but I mean Fred actually kind of got on them at the end after
13:28
the game. His comments. He did not hold back. He was just
13:31
like, yeah, we were we were being soft, we were bad.
13:33
He he kin'd of got after them after that loss, which they deserve.
13:37
To get after Yeah, and I I hope he wouldn't just rip their ass
13:41
in the locker room, like I don't, I don't, I don't know.
13:45
I don't know that Fred is that kind of coach. Definitely not the
13:48
is those level, but like the needs to happen, and it was,
13:52
I mean, it was very very hard to watch. That's second half.
13:56
I again, worst loss in brasket sports. I don't know if it was
14:00
that, but it was hard basketball to like say, what the hell are
14:05
we doing? We couldn't dribble, we couldn't like make a pass, and
14:11
defensively we couldn't stop a soul like it was just it was. It was
14:16
horrible all the way around, and it just kept spy hurling downwards and it
14:20
did feel like again old Fred Hoiberg glasses where it was like what are we
14:24
doing? Like are we not coaching? Like are we just sitting watching?
14:26
But everything happened, like watch everything just fall apart and players pouting. I
14:31
mean, you saw it all, and I'm like, oh god, well,
14:33
this team's done. Even though we were whatever we were at the time
14:37
seven and two, then it just felt like this season had no hope after
14:43
Wednesday and then we beat that five hundred state team and oh boy, go
14:52
so that was yeah, oh yeah, so Michigan State, I well,
15:00
I wouldn't watch them in practice, and so like it was kind of cool
15:03
to see them all on the bench, I guess, all in their light
15:09
green and yeah we beat them and they're four and four and they're maybe not
15:16
great, but it's it's a quality win. And Michigan State's gonna be in
15:20
the tournament. They're gonna be around, I think, right, yes,
15:24
think so they'll be around just because Izzo. I mean, they're gonna get
15:31
the benefit of the doubt. And I mean they've had a pretty tough con
15:33
Like they've lost to Arizona number three, Arizona number nine, Duke number twenty
15:39
three, Wisconsin. So I mean they're they're losses right now. Don't let
15:41
that bad. We'll see how Nebraska shakes out. That could be a bad
15:45
loss, but we'll find out. Well, I don't. I don't know.
15:50
If you listen to Izzo after the game and his press conference. First
15:58
off, if you have it, it's like a seven minute video. It's
16:03
pretty comical, just from an outsider's perspective, he just he looks like just
16:08
all hell broke lose, like just he just feels like defeated, like the
16:11
true meaning of defeat. He's bouncing all over the plays. I couldn't speak.
16:17
He's very rattled and shook. But he talked a lot about their lack
16:21
of post game and their post play by their their bigs, and and that
16:26
that clearly was the difference in the game. Coming off a game where rink
16:30
Mass struggled against Creighton a couple of weeks ago, he did a lot of
16:36
really good things. Not that he scored a bunch, he just he's controlled
16:40
the paint and and that was the big difference against Michigan State to me on
16:45
Sunday. Yeah, fourteen rebounds and six assists. I mean, he learned
16:52
the team in rebounds and assists for a post player. And that's kind of
16:56
what we were worried about going into the year, is our post play,
16:57
and we expected the Big ten to beat up up on that, and we
17:00
kind of saw that against Creighton. I mean, everything went wrong against Creighton,
17:03
but it was nice to see and it was right there. They didn't
17:08
do well against Ring Like, he's not a guy that you think you'd look
17:14
at him and be like, this guy's going to dominate us down low,
17:17
but he did. He got up for that block too. Did not know
17:21
that he had that in him. He didn't force it though. On offense
17:26
ich As, he didn't force his shots at all, right, he just
17:29
played with what he played a solid round game, Dak. Did you watch
17:33
it the game? Yeah? Oh yeah, look at you becoming a closet
17:37
Hoskar fan. That that's when I was wired. That was right after the
17:41
Vikings got over. I was, I was ready to roll it. We
17:45
did. We did. We did a lot of good things and and as
17:48
as great of a win that was, it shouldn't be this way. But
17:52
it's hard not to look back and say, gosh, the image, what
17:55
a one winnsday, But it was. It's a very quality win against a
17:59
solid ap own it. You know, maybe make the tournament. I don't
18:03
know, but Michigan State obviously is one of the top Big Ten teams historically,
18:07
and they were preseason trade number four going into the year, so it
18:12
is. It's a good win at home. The crowd was did a great
18:18
job. I thought I was at the game and and it wasn't Phil,
18:22
but the ones that were there, it was a very entertaining game for sure,
18:25
and Casey got the crowd going on couples a couple of us doing his
18:30
case things. So uh, but is there's still an entertaining team to watch
18:34
take out that freaking second half of the Minnesota game, because that couldn't have
18:37
been entertaining no matter what kind of fan you were at that game. But
18:42
very solid win. And yeah, you do have to give the coaching staff
18:47
and for at a lot of credit there, as Izzo said too in his
18:52
in his post game. And I thought they coached their asses off for both
18:56
halves they were They were standing up there at one point, looked over and
19:00
all their five or six assistant coaches like lined up on the bench coaching in
19:04
the second half on the defensive end. It was pretty neat to see.
19:07
I was surprised the refs allowed it. Maybe they didn't notice it, but
19:11
I thought they did. And they coached their ass off and they should do
19:15
that every game and not just after coming off a hard loss. So we'll
19:18
see if it continues. And and Case State I think is next Sunday,
19:22
right, Yeah, Case State go Catska State. I haven't decided if I'm
19:30
were in a case my case State had or not yet better or not,
19:37
so it's case out of shape or what's this? Why can't he play longer
19:41
than five minute stretches because he's a defensive liability. No, that's a that's
19:48
a great question, Dak. And it hit me when I was watching the
19:52
game too, like, if he's not able to get open and give him
19:57
something on offense, he is he's he's not the strongest defender. He's not
20:00
the biggest human being obviously, So like, if we're unable to get him
20:06
going with whatever we're trying to do, it's it's hard for to keep him
20:08
on the floor. And Creighton, you could see, clearly took him away
20:15
and or Minnesota did too, and Minnesota just locked him up and he didn't
20:21
do anything. And then early on against Michigan State too, he hit the
20:25
one contestant shot, but they did the same thing. And so I think
20:29
that probably some of the coaches discretion there as well. If he can't provide
20:33
anything on offense, he's not defense. Now, I will say this,
20:40
just having him on the floor does draw attention to him, and I think
20:45
that's also very valuable as well. So I think there's a fine line there
20:49
of the decision making of keeping keeping him in or not. But case when
20:56
he gets any fresh breath of air shooting, it's going up and there's a
21:04
couple of them, was like, yes, is so stupid, Like what
21:07
is he He's a little bit of he's a ball stopper, but I'm the
21:10
traditional sense where he's gonna dribble the clock out and then make it take a
21:12
bad like mid range jumper. He's a ball stopper in the sense of if
21:17
he gets the ball behind the arc and there's even the width that he can
21:19
huck this up, it's going up, but not have to be much like
21:26
there's times where guys are in his face and he's I don't I still don't
21:29
know how he gets shots up, Like you watch him even some of his
21:33
international games too, Like he's not very tall. He just somehow is able
21:37
to get shots up because of his release points on where it's at. It's
21:41
just it's at a tough spot to get to. I guess, yeah,
21:45
that was kind of That was when my Christmas Like he's a little bit of
21:48
a ball stop Like offensively, it's tough to get into a flow and they're
21:52
not falling and he's just tucking him up there. It's nice to have a
21:59
player like, like a shooter like that, though, like we like we've
22:00
talked about before, we haven't had a guy just a true pure shooter like
22:07
that that. Yeah, you leave him open, it's going in. And
22:11
we haven't had a guy like that. And I mean, hell, since
22:12
I've been alive, Like, I feel like that is a shooting threat.
22:18
Cookie Miller, Yeah, Dak, he's a great shoot. No. I
22:23
think I thought coming in the year, case was by fear and way your
22:27
best player. I think that's got to be Juwan Gary. Now, wow,
22:33
that's a that's a I mean after one game maybe, No. I
22:37
thought even the Creating game he was. I thought he was your best player
22:41
in that game too in Minnesota, I am creating. They were leaving him
22:47
open. They weren't guarding him, Yeah they Yeah, speaking, I need
22:51
to get a refund for that game. Jesus Christ. That was awful.
22:53
I mean, he has a better shooting percentage than most people and he's shooting
22:57
fifty field goal that how much your favorite tickets for that game? Fifty bucks?
23:04
Not terrible? Yeah, yeah it was. It was the crowd like
23:11
the first fifteam is though it sounded like the crowd is just in case it
23:17
hits one of those threes. Like before the wheels fell off, I mean,
23:22
like the roof would have come off that freaking building. It was ready.
23:26
Yeah, it was rocking, and let's go Jay's chance. Dak.
23:34
You mentioned Juan Gary, who I did think played well. I think he's
23:38
a big part obviously on Sunday for getting that win. Talk about rank mass.
23:45
Bryce Williams just continues to be very solid and that that's big on a
23:51
team like this, right because we have different guys that can make plays.
23:52
Bryce Williams and I guess JaMarcus Lawrence too. Those guys just like when things
24:02
might start going downhill, they just hit a fifteen foot jumper, you know,
24:06
they come up a ball screen and they just do things that keep you
24:08
in games and say, okay, yep, they're still solid players. I
24:12
think Bryce has the capability like he did the first half of Minnesota to just
24:18
start making plays, and I think we're gonna need that at times. But
24:21
it is good to have a couple of guys like that on the court that
24:23
are still scoring threats. They're not just no offense to Sam Hoiberg, but
24:30
you know, he's not much of an offensive threat when he's out there.
24:33
Jim's got to be three Kaisse. Yeah, not Brett, but he does.
24:42
Sam does lockdown on defense. And though he did a great job against
24:47
a couple of those Michigan State guards, it was a very guard heavy team.
24:51
So again a lot of good things from different guys. I think on
24:55
Sunday that you know, I think we're gonna see different guys step up.
25:00
Juan Gary being the one over the past couple of games that has done that
25:03
and and and it's been much needed. But we'll see. Big ten is
25:07
gonna be tough. It's gonna be a grind. I think we need to
25:11
get to be above five hundred and the Big ten to help us feel safe
25:15
to get to the tournament. Obviously, the non conference helped in a win.
25:18
Sunday is gonna help to Who's that Who's that gonna stake guard that caught
25:25
fire? It wasn't ho guard, it was No, it wasn't the call
25:37
it was Atkins. Nope, it was not Jordan Akins Walker. Yes,
25:47
yeah, okay, he if they get in here reminds me of just a
25:51
guard perfect from March, just the way the way he caught fire and he
25:56
looks like, God damn, who did he remind me of? Oh fine,
26:02
I thought about I can't remember who the hell you reminded me of.
26:04
God damn it. Great take. Anyway, he looked like a perfect march
26:10
man in this guard. Just someone that catches fire. No, no,
26:15
God damn it. Anyway, Big Willard Weaver State jimmer for that. No,
26:23
I can't remember who it was. But anyway, Yeah, a little
26:30
Carte Curry. No, I'll think about it later. We'll put on Twitter
26:37
or something. God damn it. He he he does do a lot of
26:41
good things. I just don't know what Michigan State at their post presence has
26:44
enough. Oh the other guy in Michigan State. That's fun to watch that.
26:47
I don't know if he's ever gonna do anything, just because I don't
26:49
know if his basketball skilled. But con car Michigan State, we're fifty five
26:55
a big alley youp jam where his head was like above the rim. I'm
26:59
telling you, guys, that guy can jump. He's a freaking nature.
27:03
Watching him in practice too, I mean he is, He's sudden them.
27:07
So it was cool to see a dunk and then the other fun thing to
27:10
watch I thought at the game was just to watch tom Izzo. He I
27:17
don't know what they show on TV, but he still just reams into his
27:19
players and he subbed one of the guys out, and I mean he was
27:22
just reaming into him. The student section was loving it. It was great.
27:29
It's it's entertainment, that's what it is. It was entertainment at the
27:30
game, just to watch him and the way he interacts everybody, and that's
27:34
just who he is. That's tom Izzo, and that's why I think everybody
27:37
loves him for who he is. He's obviously a short, shortened stature,
27:42
but very mighty and the way he carries himself and that makes him very entertaining.
27:52
Yeah, go for it, deck. Yeah he well, the only
27:56
shot I really thought the end he was going as players by the shot at
28:00
the end where he had his hands and his hands in his faces, like,
28:03
oh fuck. He was not happy at the end. He shows his
28:06
emotions. That's too, that's great. Oh yeah, he like defeated at
28:11
the end of that game. Have you guys been betting on Nebraska basketball today
28:19
in Minnesota? The Minnesota game? He thought we were done after Wednesday,
28:26
I really did. I watched Wednesday, I'm like, well, there goes
28:29
this team, and I think the spread was three and a half yesterday.
28:32
I'm like, there, Michigan State could win this game by twenty and I
28:36
mean, like just the way I thought, we just folded over in that
28:38
game. But nope, got proved wrong. I guess I cursed Michigan State
28:42
more than I cursed Nebraska by going to a road game Wednesday was really rough,
28:47
though not an unreasonable assumption to me. Yeah, I probably won't because
28:52
I did. I did bet on Wednesday, So yeah, that's the end
28:56
of that for me. On the Oscars. Yeah, well, we have
29:04
some ball games, guys. Do we want to talk about some ball games?
29:07
Do Bettern' see if there's any real updates. Nothing yet, he hasn't
29:14
committed. Nope that what's your favorite ball game of the week. I I
29:25
think it's the last Vegas ball. I didn't I didn't write down the names
29:27
were here. I think it's the last Vegas ball U s LA and Boise
29:30
State. That's gonna be a good one. I like the first couple of
29:36
games are kind of shitty. Oh, Logan, some mothers Jacksonville State they
29:40
play they play earlier in the day. They play Apple or Louisiana Saturday,
29:45
so you can watch them. There's a lot of Saturday games. I will
29:52
say that one, two, three, four, five, six, six
29:55
games on Saturday. Guns up up, Yeah, they play they play CAP.
30:03
You know what. I hope Texas Tech wins Big twelve represent Big for
30:11
about a month and a half and then you already yeah, well, let's
30:18
let's do that on the pod. Let's let's just decide to do this.
30:22
Now, let's do it. We got a little bit of time here.
30:23
We're gonna go through each bowl game for the week, and let's pick.
30:29
Oh, let's do let's pick against the spread because we're not we don't have
30:33
enough thought here to do confidence points for everything. So let's go against the
30:37
spread US three. Let's get a bed on it. Let's let's get a
30:41
something. Uh gosh, what's a good one? First round is obviously an
30:51
easy one, but I think it's something better than that. I don't know
30:57
what, what could we do? Come on, Dak, you're good at
31:00
this stuff. Ennessy orange for Dak off for a week. Anthem start the
31:07
next pot. I like it, and you can record it ahead of time
31:15
and I can just add it at the beginning. That works too, yep,
31:19
I like it. I like it, full on national anthem. All
31:26
right, good, I'm fine with that. There's no Congra in prison on
31:30
that right. Oh, we make it our own. We make it our
31:37
own. So let's do six game, six games here, because we'll be
31:41
back next Saturday or Sunday or Sunday or Monday before the famous Toast Street Bull
31:48
on the eighteenth. So the six games on Saturday, we're starting with the
31:56
Myrtle Beach boll Georgia Southern against Ohio. Georgia Southern's a three and a half
32:00
point favorite. I'll take Ohio. I don't know lick about either team.
32:12
I was like, Ohio better. I'm also taking Ohio. The Ohio the
32:20
thing any of these teams this urmer course, coming from Georgia Southern beat Nebraska
32:29
a couple of years ago. I'm taking Georgia Southern. Are we doing six
32:34
games? No? This is on the full full Bowl games? Oh okay,
32:39

32:45

line minus three for Jacksonville State. I'm telling Jacksonville State, go game Cocks.
33:17
You know what. I'll take Jacksonville State. I've watched for their games
33:21
this year first for some reason. But yeah, Jacksonville State. All right.
33:30
Off to the hot start and me being different. The Cure Bowl at
33:32
two thirty on ABC, Miami Ohio RedHawks and the Appalachian State. Wow,
33:42
well, I forgot Apple as in state's mascot. How'd I do that?
33:47
Out the Mountaineers? Mountaineers? That right? I think you're right. There's
33:55
six point favorites in the game. The Mountaineers. I have Miami Ohio and
34:01
my pick them that I did this year and they led me to victory.
34:05
So give me the RedHawks. I'm sticking with the Miami of Ohio. I'm
34:10
rolling with my Ohio teams this year. Oh damn it. I you know
34:14
what, I'll change the Applace and State. We can all agree. It's
34:20
okay, Dak, Yeah, you know what, I'll agree with you guys,
34:22
Miami Ohio because I think their quarterback came in and said they're gonna fuck
34:25
Miami Florida up and they didn't. But I like the confidence. I'll take
34:30
Miami Ohio, all right. The New Mexico Bowl featuring New Mexico State Thaggies
34:40
against the President of State Bulldogs. New Mexico State a three and a half
34:44
point favorite four to forty five on ESPN. You know what it's in New
34:50

34:58
State. All right, you gotta pick next. I actually can't believe this
35:01

State plus three and a half. Wait a second, Hold up, hold
35:10
the door. Is Jerry Killing New Mexico State's coach? Okay? Yeah,
35:16
New Mexico State minus three and a half. Wait did he get fired?

35:55
don't know, there might not be much hype anymore. Give me Poise State
35:59
in this wall m take Ucla with even without their starting quarterback. Who has
36:09
more fans of this game? Boys or LA or U c l A.
36:19
I'll take Boise State all right. Last, but not least, the Independence
36:24
full California against Texas Tech. Guys that I made a bet in the beginning
36:31
of the year on a bunch of win totals and stuff, and I was
36:36
gonna take Cal's under five and a half, but instead I took Cal not
36:38
to make a bowl game. And sure they kicked the crap out of Ucla
36:44
in the last week to get to a bowl game, and it pissed me
36:46
off. It was one of my more heavily bet on bets of the preseason.
36:52
So I'm not picking him now because they pissed me off. Guns up,
36:55
give me Tech two and a half point favor By the way, Texas
