Episode 5.8: Another Young Team and Week 0 Preview · Return to Glory - Nebraska

0:00
Mcast Hunters are bicky here with Austin Rose to Code of free tag. We
0:24
are eight days away from opening kick, and I just realized I have opened
0:30
every podcast with a countdown until our first game? Do you have? I
0:37
think so? I'm just catching myself doing that. I mean, why not?
0:42
That's what we all do in our anyways. You go back and you
0:46
listen to the tape after every pod. No, but I just when I
0:50
open up every time, I'm just like, huh, I just always say
0:53
two weeks left or a week and a half left. You just know it
0:56
off top of your head. Did We're all counting in our heads just like
1:00
we're counting down for ou Day one? Are we? Though? I am
1:06
dak Who does Oklahoma play the first week a state? Good job, We've
1:11
we've big from about two weeks ago. I can't wait for this weekend's games.
1:17
The slate's not good, but it'll be good to see football again.
1:21
Yeah. I don't know if I'm that big of a niche. What do
1:26
you mean? Maybe a Notre Dame. That game's good. I'll give you
1:30
that one. USC whoever the hell they play, hopefully lose as a thirty
1:37
one point favorite. I don't think that'll happen. We will have a special
1:41
segment here in a little bit coming up that we will explain when we get
1:47
there, featuring our new co host. So we'll get to that here in
1:55
a little bit, but first gotta talk a little bit of Husker updates.
1:59
Huskerball will start there. Not a whole lot of news besides more practices,
2:06
more game prep. Coach rule talking about how he doesn't like to start on
2:12
individual team preparation too early because then you ruin the excitement. But I'll also
2:17
you can't start too late because then it's obviously too late. So there's a
2:21
fine balance on how you filter in scout, team and preparation for the week
2:27
one game. So we have that. We also have a bunch of videos
2:35
out there that are going around from various sources. But I sent both of
2:40
you guys one. It's very interesting. I'll start it with that because I
2:45
want to hear your comments. But I think it's two four seven Huskers is
2:50
the Twitter page that I've been seeing a lot of them at least originate from.
2:53
I do not believe that is affiliated with like the Husker two four seven
2:58
guys that have their official media publication, but don't quote me on that.
3:05
I do know that they are releasing a ton of videos like in depth of
3:09
practices and speeches and talks, which has been pretty neat, and specifically the
3:15
locker room in the facility that they just got released here too this week pretty
3:22
top notch. Have you been watching the YouTube series look in Okay? This
3:28
is probably part of that. If I had, Yeah, yep, I
3:31
think it is so bad. It's been pretty good. The locker room looks
3:37
freaking sweet. They have a whole Adida's store basically in there. I don't
3:42
it was wild. I mean, I never thought about how much clothes going
3:45
to one hundred some college student football players, but just the amount of shelves
3:50
and stuff that they were putting on the shelves was insane. Those sleep pods,
3:57
I could take one hell of a napping. I don't know if I
4:00
could. I kind of want to try it that I feel like it.
4:01
I'd be sitting two tubes, I don't know, too far up, like
4:04
sitting up too much. Well, I'm sure you or what you can do?
4:09
Yeah, I'm guessing you can move it around. That was the one
4:13
thing Dak took from that. He's like, yeah, those nap pods though.
4:17
The pool that love pretty sweet. The pool is cool. All the
4:25
flat screens, I could, you know, use that and the future home
4:29
of mine and just bunch just watching games on Saturdays and Sundays. That'd be
4:32
pretty nice. That would be pretty nice because it was definitely like a cocktail
4:35
pool. You know, you don't it was there for lounging. You weren't
4:40
thinking too hard. We'll probably be having a lot of cocktails in there,
4:45
that's true. No, it's a it's a good series. I liked it.
4:49
I like I like the whole YouTube production. I mean, this last
4:53
episode was an hour long, and but it looks like they're having a lot
4:57
of fun. I don't know if that's the point. I don't know if
4:59
Rule has overarching editing editing privileges where he's like, hey, make it look
5:03
like a fun program. But for the most part, it looks like they're
5:06
having a good time. Do you know, is that something that is just
5:11
a one year or even preseason only or what you have any idea? I
5:15
don't, but they did something similar last preseason and they won some awards for
5:21
it, So I'm gonna guess it's an annual preseason thing, like the the
5:27
video series that we're talking about specifically. Yeah, I think did a similar
5:30
one last year and they won some like actually I don't know if it was
5:33
Emmy's, but something along those lines of like big time awards for it.
5:38
Nice. But yeah, I thought the content what they're how they're producing it's
5:46
great and some of the things are capturing I think are also very insightful.
5:50
And how he's running the program. I saw one of them, how they
5:56
add they He brought out all of the former NFL players and was explaining the
6:01
value of red shirts and Trev was one of them, and they talk,
6:05
you know, he talked about how you have to put in the time in
6:09
the work and not just give up because we're having you red shirt or you're
6:15
in your first year. Like I think that's very important, especially in today's
6:20
landscape that it is so easy to leave. But he's trying to build something
6:26
to keep guys around and look forward to. Yeah, hey you're a freshman,
6:30
you might not be good enough now, but look what these guys did
6:31
after they put in the hard work and made other people better day after day.
6:38
That stuff is really cool and it's really neat to see as a fan,
6:41
especially on a coach show. He really he's new. We don't know
6:44
a lot of question works, Dak. Do you like to watch all these
6:47
I'm sure you're just watching him before you go to bed every night, you
6:51
know, I watch it all night every night. No, I've watched second
6:55
of it. But the locker rooms look tot not. I will think I
7:00
think that you could pull some recruits with the locker rooms. That's true.
7:06
I mean, it's it's a competitive locker room now for what's out there because
7:11
LSUS there's just been a it's insane with the the locker rooms that they're putting
7:16
out there, and it's something do to keep up with the times. I
7:20
thought, you know, our facilities were pretty top notch, and you hear
7:25
a lot about that, but there's probably some truth that we were falling behind
7:29
in that aspect for the locker room, and I think it's probably still too
7:32
much, maybe for now. I mean, college athletes are starting to get
7:35
paid, but like these facilities are absolutely insane for college kids. So I
7:44
don't know, I don't know how I feel about it. What it is,
7:46
you have to stay up with it if other teams are doing it.
7:49
Well, like you said, the main thing is you want to keep the
7:53
freshman around, right because, and I think it will definitely help, but
7:58
you never know the n I l it's it's so hard to keep your players
8:01
around. You just give a new team every year right now, And I
8:05
think that's where rule does. He's making it a point. The other video
8:09
I saw was he had the first team offense out there and he said,
8:13
all right, if you're a senior or your COVID like, and everybody was
8:18
like gone, and then he's like, all right, now, give me
8:22
a right guard, give me a center, give me a quarterback, like
8:24
and filling the pieces, and talked again about the importance of second and third
8:28
teamers that may need to play down the year, or he talked about next
8:31
year, like, this is your team next year, so you better be
8:35
doing the work now to get ready for that. So those kind of conversations,
8:39
while they may seem obvious and we can all say, yeah, we
8:41
need to keep players around, but I think you have to have those frequently
8:46
to the players themselves to get them to realize, okay, like get my
8:50
mind right of the future of where they could be at in a couple of
8:56
years. Otherwise they're going to start thinking other places when or if they're not
9:00
playing. Yeah, I agree. So last comment on this and this is
9:07
the counter the negative to it, And I actually got way more positive than
9:13
I thought I would. But the negative to it is, wouldn't you just
9:16
hate it if you were constantly being filmed the entire practice, knowing that it
9:22
could be public or probably will be publicly posted. Like, think about all
9:26
of your our jobs that we do on a day to day basis. I
9:28
think if somebody just had a camera sitting there recording you the entire time I'm
9:33
out working. But I mean, realistically, if you're a professional athlete,
9:41
you know in the NFL Hard Knocks does the same thing. Yeah, and
9:46
that's athletics is obviously very different than doing what we do. But watching Hunter
9:52
scroll on X during U three hour lunch break, I just to me,
10:01
part of me just wants to say, let them, let them, let
10:03
them do their work, let them do their job. But at the same
10:07
time, you like the content, you like the people like the content,
10:11
they like the clicks, and it's probably good for recruiting. Let's be honest,
10:16
it is probably good I think. Rule I mean, your true colors
10:22
have to come out right like you're you're gonna speak to it as it is,
10:24
and like the kind of coaches in society today, you know, if
10:30
you're a cusser dropping that bombs left and right, like seeing well order what
10:35
a Bopelini practice would have looked like, like he would have got fired right.
10:39
Yeah, they wanted to film that. No, so it is interesting
10:43
to me. I mean, I I get it from a recruiting standpoint,
10:48
but it is also showing a lot just about the leadership style. I guess
10:54
you're not really getting any insight into schematics, but you are seeing a lead
11:00
hip style which so far looks very positive. Well, like you said about
11:03
hard knocks, there's a reason why no NFL team wants to do it,
11:07
because you don't want. They don't like to be filmed all every practice,
11:11
every day, and college is gotta be more. It's gonna be a lot
11:16
more harder because your college kids are gonna mess up a lot more and everyone's
11:20
watching you seeing that. I wouldn't like it, but I get it.
11:28
I just don't want to give other teams any more ammunition, which I don't
11:31
think anything we've seen so far that I have to think Rule has like final
11:37
executive like Nope, this can't go. No, this can't go, No,
11:41
this can't go. But I mean I guess. Yeah. Then was
11:43
back to trusting Rule and what he believes should and shouldn't get out there,
11:48
But like, can you imagine Frost doing that and going through like I mean,
11:50
no, wonder some of the craft that he said during press conferences like
11:54
that stuff fall gets out And so yeah, you're trusting Rule with the final
11:58
say, but as a fan or a person that wants the program to succeed,
12:03
like you hope that he's cognizant of what's getting leaked or released and what
12:09
other coaches may or may not be breeding into. Oh, I don't know
12:13
if it's just a preseason thing or as we get into the year there'll be
12:18
anything more. I doubt it. So did you see Matt Rule on Colin
12:26
Cowhard? I heard some of his quotes. Yeah, yeah, And then
12:31
did you listen to the Trevor Alberts Show. His Athletic Director show talked to
12:35
like Ted Carter and kind of brask Us to do well therese we're gonna get
12:39
left behind out of conference re alignment. But yeah, Ted Carter is gone
12:43
A good good point to mention that shocking or not, Dak that is our
12:48
that was that's our former president of the university. He's going to House state
12:52
right, ile state. I don't think it's shocking. I feel like most
12:56
of those people have like four year terms. It seems there's pretty high turnover.
13:05
It's kind of odd because he had a lot of athletic power. Surprisingly,
13:11
like the board gave him total control over the athletic department. Correct,
13:15
I remembering that right? Good? I don't remember. I don't know.
13:20
Not super shocking. I don't think it'll impact this too much. Trev Alberts
13:24
is still the one steering the ship. Yeah, the President Bright doesn't do
13:26
too much for that athletics, right. I think he hired Trev Alberts and
13:31
he gave the final say on rule. But I think that's about it.
13:35
I mean, this is Trev's baby now. I think if it works,
13:39
it's he's going to get the credit. If it doesn't, we'll try something
13:43
else. It doesn't rule get fired of, treb will still be here.
13:48
Yeah, you don't. You don't turn through athletic directors quite as strictly as
13:52
frequently as head coaches, Well, we have and Nebraska with football I saw
13:58
since oh what was the stat? I saw? We've had like five or
14:01
six of each since like two thousand or something like that. Like the football
14:09
coaches in the AD come hand in hand in Nebraska, they do. They
14:11
just do. That's just how it is if you because that's what everybody wants
14:16
to see. Back is a football program. And if you make the bad
14:20
higher or you mess up, then you're gone. First. I think travels
14:24
stay around for quite a while, though, I think he's pretty locked in.
14:28
That's what thought about Frost. Yeah, Christ Speaking of Frost, I
14:35
got a question, Oh, boy, who's who's got a better stats?
14:39
The Ford Atlantic starting quarterback or the Husker quarterback this year? You're you're a
14:48
big You're a big former Texas guy, So I'm do you see you Gott
14:52
named the starter? Though he did, I would suspect, Oh, I
14:58
guess to find ats. Wait, what do you I think they're gonna be
15:05
passing yards? Jasey Thompson totally yeah. Jeff Simms, Oh, I'm not
15:15
gonna say any more about the quarterbacks ever he said about them. Did you
15:20
see Jeff Simms? I believe Amigos, Amigos and classic amigos. He is
15:24
the new face of some combo. Great. I'm eager. I haven't been
15:33
to Amigos since the last time I went with you, Hunter and in college
15:37
where you were just we just we both know, we both know what state
15:43
you were not doing great either, you were just better better than you.
15:48
It's a great during and food. I didn't even get food, that's how
15:52
rough I was still on my feet. Oh boy, all right, let's
15:58
transition here to hush your volleyball. The season starts here next week on Wednesday
16:06
night in the Memorial Stadium game at home against you and O is our game
16:18
against Wait? Am I looking at the right schedule? Oh are those preseason
16:22
games Utah State? There's like a tournament maybe games before. I don't know.
16:33
I just know they played next Wednesday. Okay, they definitely played.
16:37
That's their home opener. I believe, yes, we do play this Saturday
16:42
against Utah State at home. It looks like it isn't Lincoln, so the
16:48
America's players challenge. There we go. I didn't know if that was a
16:52
preseason tournament or not. Looks like maybe it is maybe some triangular I don't
16:59
know who knows, we'll see it is Utah State, Lipscomb and SMU coming
17:04
up this weekend, so we better jump in to see what we got.
17:10
For the Huskers. I have some opinions we will be good again. We
17:15
should be one of the top three teams in the Big Ten hopefully currently some
17:19
number five preseason corn Huskers. The word the words I see are young,
17:26
talented competitives. We went to Brazil and played here in the offseason. We
17:33
lost three key players Matti Kubic, Nicolan Haynes, and Kenzie Knuckles from last
17:40
year's team. I am just tired of hearing how our volleyball teams always young.
17:45
I mean even I guess if you look at our roster like that's fine,
17:49
but like I feel like the last four years we've always been young,
17:55
and it's like an excuse for if we don't win a national champion ship.
18:00
We say, oh, well, well we're young, we'll have it next
18:02
year, like we'll be beginning. That's what they said last year. They're
18:06
they're so young, that's why they lost. We've heard that last four or
18:08
five years. So I do not have any seniors on the on the roster,
18:14
but I will see that that's fair. I mean, that's true,
18:18
but again, like we put that out there as if we also blame it
18:22
if we don't win it, we also leave out like we had one of
18:26
the greatest athletic collegiate recruiting classes ever, you know too. Yeah, and
18:30
we continue to do that, like we'll go through our players here in a
18:34
second, like, well, it's like, yeah, they're young, but
18:37
they were also like five of the top seven students of that recruiting class in
18:42
the nation. Yeah, they're young, but I just I just don't want
18:47
to hear that excuse thrown out, like all we're learning, you know,
18:51
we're still young, we're getting Well that's kind of what's happened in the past
18:53
two or three years, four years. And yeah, we do have the
18:57
one of, if not the best recruiting clas this year in and year out.
19:00
So we should be competing for a national title year in and year out,
19:06
which I believe we are. Like right, I think every tournament we
19:11
have a chance to make the final four, if not win it. That's
19:17
where do you how much do you tie in recruiting rankings and saying okay,
19:22
you have a number one or number two recruiting class every year, you should
19:25
be number one and two every year, Like, is that necessarily true?
19:29
No? No, I think some people would would say it could be like
19:33
you look at football, but it's not. I don't know. To me,
19:37
having number one, number two recruiting class based on those it just means
19:41
you're competing every year, and that's what the volleyball team continues to do.
19:45
Like we're in a very different place as a program there than any other sport.
19:52
So we don't know how to react. We're just right, we're good.
19:56
We have expectations for the program, expectations, and when we don't meet
20:02
him, it's like, well, I mean, you know we could have
20:07
but no, I I mean we're young in the sense we don't have any
20:10
seniors, but we have five juniors out of our how many players won two
20:15
or three or four? Like seventeen players? Is that right? I don't
20:18
know. Close your close your roster here. I want to do a quick
20:25
exercise. Oh boy, we have fourteen players and our roster on Huskers dot
20:30
com. How many of our current players are in state recruits from Nebraska?
20:36
Ohain eight? I don't think that's a bad guess, honestly, yeah,
20:45
I think that's actually pretty close because I know we had a couple of girls
20:48
from Scott, Gretna, Norris, maybe seven. We're down to three guys,
21:00
down three, and I was very surprised by that as well, because
21:03
we have recruited hard from in state talent. Pilly and Lavista has been one.
21:10
Scott, like you mentioned, Waverley has been a huge one. We
21:12
have a girl from Norris, so our current three, miss Lindsay Krausey from
21:18
Scott, a junior Becca Alic the sophomore from Waverley, and then Macy Bosiker,
21:23
the sophomore from Norris. But other than that, it's all out of
21:29
state, which surprised me, it really did. Yeah, I agree,
21:33
I guess they're just all graduated or transfer. Are they out coming from the
21:41
West coast or where they coming from? I think a little bit all over
21:45
the place. We got North Carolina, South Dakota, Iowa, Ohio,
21:51
Alabama, Texas, Utah, Michigan. So actually none from the West coast,
21:55
so all yeah, I was completely off there. So anyways, I
22:00
thought that was interesting. Don't know what that means, but Nebraska has been
22:04
a very dominant heavy volleyball, dominant heavy sport and Omaha is getting two professional
22:12
teams in the next year. Yeah, so Supernova season tickets lined up?
22:19
No, no Supernova fans here, Nope, I didn't even know about that.
22:26
You haven't be there opening night, man, I'm ready. Uh.
22:32
We run the six two system in volleyball, which I don't know anything about
22:38
volleyball rotations and systems. I think it probably would be interesting to learn,
22:44
but I don't know, just never have. So we run the six two.
22:48
From what Coach Cook has been saying, like that allows for a lot
22:52
of subs, a lot of rotations. You can be very versatile with who
22:56
you play. But with that being said, you have to have a lot
22:59
of layers to do that. And I think that answered one of my questions
23:04
that when I watch Husker volleyball throughout the year, I always wonder why the
23:08
hell we sub so much and why like some of our best players aren't playing.
23:12
Well, that's because of system that we're doing. Subs a lot and
23:18
move people around a lot. Any insight into the sixth two, DAC,
23:22
you seem like you know what the sixth two is. I have no idea.
23:26
I know the two stands for the number of centers. Is it better
23:30
than a three three five? It is it two defensive back stick down linemen
23:34
or what is so? The six represents the number of hitters on the court,
23:41
and the two stands for the number of setters. I got that all
23:44
right. Usually there'll be three front row hitters and a back row setter.
23:48
After three rotations of this, the setter rotates of the front row and becomes
23:51
a hitter. H great, thanks Google. Sets for this year are Kennedy
23:59
or In Bergen Riley. Kennedy's a junior, Bergen's a freshman competing for the
24:04
starting spot. We have on our roster. We have six outside hitters.
24:11
Now, I think the system has an opposite hitter, or I think I've
24:17
heard it called maybe the right side that we're moving Lindsay Krausey over to.
24:22
And then Merritt Beeson, an All SEC player from Florida who was also named
24:29
a team captain in the spring, is moving to that right side opposite side
24:36
hitter also a freshman, Caroline boy Jervicious a freshman. That's a good yes,
24:45
I think good guests there. Our defensive specialist is Lexei Roderiguez and Laney
24:52
chill Boy. She was the top ranked DS the country went to Minnesota,
25:03
left Minnesota when their coach left, so she came to Nebraska. Yeah,
25:12
the only preseason All American Watch correct preseasons. I believe I saw that somewhere
25:19
too, Okay, So yeah, I think Lexi Rodriguez is good. That
25:26
one's an obvious one. I'm interested to see hating Cubic yep. So yeah,
25:32
getting to our outside of I guess these are a lot of our outsides.
25:40
Yeah. Yeah, with bait and horst is in their Harper Murray twenty
25:45
three GATORAD Player the Year, National Player of the Year Hayden Kubic now that
25:51
her older sister Maddie's gone, those are the outsides. The opposite or right
25:59
side is what lynds Z and Merritt are expected to play. So oh and
26:03
then lastly, our middles Beca Alick, Maddie Mendelssohn, and then Andy Jackson,
26:10
the top ranked middle number six ranked overall in this year's class. So
26:15
bringing in another strong recruiting class, a lot of names, expecting most of
26:19
these girls to play somehow in the mix. It's harder to find a depth
26:26
chart out there for volleyball like you can for football, but those are some
26:29
of the names that we see. It doesn't really matter for Cook, I
26:33
mean, because that's what he does for the first half of the season.
26:36
He just tinkers with the lineup anyways. So I suspect you're right. We
26:41
will see most of these names early on in the year, and then as
26:45
he kind of tunes it up when you get closer to the tournament time figuring
26:48
out what his actual lineup is going to be. They are really young,
26:53
though, hear the worst attack, get out of here. You are the
26:56
same shirt and hat every week. You can't anything. He literally had like,
27:03
goddamn hat every single podcast. You told me you were that every podcast.
27:08
I believe you. Yeah, the same shirt you probably haven't changed in
27:14
weeks, and you're like, nope, this is I won't change and wins
27:18
the title. Oh boy, it's gonna be a stinky year. Free Jay
27:23
House looks like that. I'll be going in your grave with yeah, yeah
27:27
for you a volleyball guy. Nope, Nope at all. Agreed it that
27:34
give me your projected wins for the Huskers. I don't know how many games.
27:38
I'm not going to count them up. Let's say there's there's usually thirty
27:44
is stright. Let's say thirty. How many wins of the Huskers get twenty
27:48
eight and two? Wow, very optimistic. I would probably go lower than
27:56
that. Just looking at our schedule, I guess so, yeah, think
28:00
we're gonna be a good team. Volleyball Day is gonna be freaking sweet against
28:03
Uno. Do you get takes of that, either of you. I'm driving
28:07
up to Minneapolis that day. Ah, you're going the Purpose game. Wow,
28:14
you didn't know that. I didn't. I thought you weren't. I
28:18
would have just taken off Thursday and droven up. Volleyball day is gonna be
28:22
freaking sweet. Anyways, So that's gonna be dope. We played number eighteen
28:26
Creighton the first week of September. They we play Stanford, which is also
28:33
a top number three team, and then right after that we played Kentucky,
28:40
which is number ten, and then we go into Big Ten play, which
28:42
is always kind of brutal. I don't think Ohio States ranked oh Ohio State's
28:48
fourteen, so I mean Wisconsin twice. I just saw that. So there's
28:52
two guaranteed dells. We start out, it's gonna be a rough start.
28:57
Minnesota's a top ten team, so we start after Kansas State. We played
29:03
number eighteen, Long Beach State, which I don't even know a Long Beach
29:07
state's ranked. Are they ranked? No? Okay, no Long Beach State.
29:11
So let me get a break there. So k State number eighteen,
29:15
creating break number three, Stanford number ten, Kentucky number eighteen or number whatever,
29:21
number fourteen, Ohio state, number seven, Minnesota. I mean,
29:26
that's a pretty rough start, perduce number sixteen, which we then play number
29:30
sixteen per two. But give me your give me your win total. I
29:36
would say probably seven and twenty three, twenty three and seven, I'll go,
29:42
I'll go under, I'll go twenty two and eight. I felt twenty
29:47
three and seven was pretty low. But two, you're right. Two Wisconsins
29:51
Penn State's always good. The starting right, here's the shot, the start
29:57
that you're really rough though. I mean, that is a brutal first month.
30:03
We'll learn a lot. You know, your schedule with young player,
30:06
young players, a new new starting lineup. I don't want to say young,
30:08
but new lineup. We've lost a lot of starters, not a lot,
30:14
but half three. All right, that's enough volleyball talk for me for
30:18
one. That was the best preview we've done volleyball or football or any volleyball.
30:26
That's probably true, but it's also it's like, yeah, it's gonna
30:30
be rough for everything else. Enjoy it. While volleyball is here, John
30:33
Cook's gonna retire probably in the next three years. They're saying what should do
30:37
a spinoff and do a Osker Volleyball podcast, saying stay in glory instead of
30:42
maintain the glory. The glory all right. Week zero college football is here
30:48
starting on Saturday. Every Wednesday from now until the end of football season,
30:57
we will have a new segments. So when you hear this sound, that
31:04
will mean that Da Code of Free Tag is on the clock for sixty seconds
31:11
to give you his picks for the week. There will be very little prep
31:15
time. He's not gonna know when it's going to come, and it's gonna
31:21
be all his and microphone is gonna be his for sixty seconds to go through
31:26
and give you as many winning picks as he can give you, only the
31:32
pick along with him along if it usually if you bet the opposite, you're
31:40
gonna have a pretty good day. So sixty seconds on the clock. He
31:47
just took a big swing out of Red Solo Cup. I don't know what's
31:48
in there, but I think he's prepping himself. He is ready to go.
31:52
Sixty seconds on the clock, ready and go all right, maybe know
32:00
her dame under then we got san Jumse state spread and then let's go let's
32:08
go u tep oh, let's crap it, it just went out. Okay,
32:15
keep going here, let's go and maybe spread. Let's go USC game
32:22
over yep, uh Cable Williams underpacker. God, it will not load.
32:39
This is a bad start. Okay, here we go. God, it's
32:45
time. I'm gonna pull up everything and I'm just gonna read out loud,
32:49
and you have to give me your cut take. So you gotta keep going.
32:52
Yep, throw me out of game room. So you gotta go.
32:55
You're tying, will go rolling. I saw Jack go. Here we go
33:00
you Matt that day. By six and a half, I'll take that Ohio
33:07
Ohio saying it's a state state. There by two, I'll take Ohio,
33:10
Hawaii, Vanderbilt take Hawaii money line all right. So I might have gave
33:19
you a couple of extra seconds, but that's how this is gonna work.
33:22
Dak. You get no commentary from us until the end. So he is
33:28
going to run with it, and then we got to summarize what he just
33:30
picked. So I really don't know what all you just said. I got
33:34
a couple of them. I know you took San Jose's State to cover the
33:37
thirty one point spread, and he took the under for passing yards for Caleb
33:43
Williams, which just feels like a pro Oklahoma choice, to be honest.
33:46
I took under in the Navy our damn game and then Navy spread. So
33:54
the only thing I gotta say on that is Navy is getting out of their
34:00
traditional triple option, which is sad. I did not know that, so
34:06
I figured you didn't. You had he said? He said Hawaii money line,
34:15
didn't you? Yep? They're beating Vanderbilt did did? Do you know
34:20
what the scorer that game was last year? Fifty nine or something like that.
34:24
Yep, sixty three to ten. It was in Hawaii, and vander
34:29
Vanderbilt returns more players than Hawaii does from last year's team. Upset. That's
34:37
a big upset. I do like the San Jose State I think San Jose
34:42
State is gonna score. I like that. Did you have anything FIU Lat
34:49
Tech game? Yeah? I took it FIU. Did you get that in
34:54
your sixty seconds or not? Yeah? Did you know a lot next quarterback
35:00
is Hank back Meyer. Nope, I just took FIU because Dan Lebtard Scharl
35:05
listened to when went to FIU. As long as you have good I take
35:13
you mask over New Mexico State. That's bad, Dak. You bet you're
35:16
betting against Jerry Kill Oh okay, Oh no, Jerry Kill is a New
35:23
Mexico State. That's not what I wanted. And then the last game I
35:30
took you tap, Dack, you're betting against rich Rod at Jacksonville State.
35:37
No way, he's there. Yeah, he's at Jacksonville State. No way,
35:44
the perfect predator or the not predecessor but successor for Dion Sanders. Nope,
35:50
that's jackson State. Oh this is Jacksonville State. Yes, from Arizona
35:57
to Jacksonville State, Jacksonville State. Yeah, they youtub one hundred percent in
36:06
that game. So Dak, well, you'll have to do. You're gonna
36:09
to summarize all your picks and send them do to us, and then we
36:14
will put together Austin put together a nice little graphic out there, and we
36:20
will keep track of your record throughout the year. It's so funny because as
36:25
you're going through these like I have, I was doing some of my research
36:30
and looking at games. I have a lot of the opposites. Did you
36:34
do any did you do any h FCS games? No? Nope, And
36:42
this is this has all got no research these picks all season, all season.
36:46
It is very little research. And whatever elaboration you got, you probably
36:52
got about as much as you're gonna get tonight. If you want to win
36:57
money, follow it. Let's see if I had any other notes on the
37:02
games this weekend. They're awful. Outside a Navy notre game, everything can
37:09
watch US PAC twelve pack Love Network. Come on, do you know how
37:16
the PAC twelve network deck? I don't. I've heard sometimes you can watch
37:21
on your fridge. That's about it. I will say. I am pumped
37:25
to watch the eight o'clock FIU lock Tech game. We get to see an
37:29
opponent, future opponent, Louisiana's I did not even know Hank bach Meyer,
37:34
the former Boise State quarterback that's been there forever. He's twenty four years old.
37:37
Guys, Hank bach Meyer still has done nothing in college. Still say
37:44
impartman and the coldest. Crawford goes a lot tech that's true, fired up
37:51
to watch a game. But I do like the FIU pick their dak,
37:53
I will say, I like the I like it to stay close, so
38:01
very good. You don't like the Hawaiian money line, No, I'm betting
38:07
Vanderbilt minus seventeen and a half. Let's see. Do you think there's a
38:15
rally rally behind all the fires they've had down there? See, that's that's
38:20
why I picked them. This this goes out to the white people. See,
38:23
yeah, I got nothing. I can't defend that pick. That one's
38:28
a tough one to defend. All right, We'll be back on Sunday game
38:34
week for the Huskers. Go big red GVR. I love that burnt orange, dude,
