Set 1: Week 1 is Exhausting (w/Lucy) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The Rex was not chasing the Jeep. Murray! Murray, you there?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You love sandwiches, huh? Let's go to 80.
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: His name is Bo. Wow.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: That's prime time, baby. I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: He cost them the game last night. Although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the game. You're listening to Stugatz & Company.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We start today with Lucy Rodin, host of the College
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Football Happy Hour, with our friend Jessica Smetana.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: How's the show going, Lucy?
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: It's going great. I don't know if they can see
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: the Zoom name, but I'm logging to Jess's Zoom.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: I don't think they can see the Zoom name. Why
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: are you logged on to Jess's Zoom?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: What's going on there?
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: We record the podcast on her Zoom, and... I just
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: have never logged out of it. And it's been embarrassing
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: because I've had meetings where I have to pop in
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: and be like, sorry, not Jessica, Lucy here.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: How was it to have college football back in your life?
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: You're exhausted already.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: I can see it. We're just in week one. You're exhausted.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: But how was it to have your favorite sport back
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: in your life?
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: It was awesome. And I, obviously you guys know, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: did not go into this weekend thinking like, this is
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: going to be a terrible slate like everybody else. I
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: knew we would get something funky and weird and gross.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: And we certainly did. And so when you have everything from, yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: a bunch of blowouts to Oregon almost losing their game,
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the just disgustingness that happened in Ann Arbor to Florida
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: State not being able to get their stadium lights to
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: work for two hours. Like that's my sport. That is
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: the most like college football span of time there could
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: possibly be. So it gave me everything I needed. Week
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: two looks really good. It looks a little less good
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: as it did like a couple months ago, but I'm very,
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: very excited for this weekend. It's good to be back.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: But I did like have the sort of reality check
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: this morning where I was like, oh, man, I'm not
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: going to have a day off till January. Like this
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: is every day.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: Lucy, I'm reeling right now because I was expecting that
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Florida State game to start at 730. It starts eventually
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: at 9 p.m.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: First off, terrible game. Florida State has fallen off so
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: far where they're 3-14 now in their last 17 ACC games.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say that was a terrible game, Taylor.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Ashton Daniels, it is hard to replace Thomas Castellanos at
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: quarterback and somehow downgrade. And that's exactly what Florida State
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: did with Ashton Daniels. He is supposed to be this
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: fast quarterback, but everything he does looks like he's moving
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: in slow motion.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: It's like only... It's just the most, first of all,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: only Florida State would not be able to just turn
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: the stadium on. That would be the problem for them. Second,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: SMU turned the ball over four times and Florida State
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: was like, I'm really good with that. Don't even worry
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: about it. We will let you be fine with your mistakes.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: We're not going to get in your face because of that.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: We don't want to be rude. This game should have
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: been a blowout, but SMU just kept turning the ball
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: over and they just kept doing dumb stuff. And then
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: Florida State was like, well, if you're doing dumb stuff,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: what if we did even more dumb stuff? And then
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: that was just the entire experience. It was very funny
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: where every time, like, Mike Norvell would call a timeout
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: or they'd show him on the jumbotron, you could just
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: hear the crowd boo, like, as loud as they possibly could. So, like,
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: congrats on the sold-out crowd, but sorry about everything else.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Lucy, you mentioned SMU having four turnovers. Teams that were
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: minus four in the turnover margin last season went 1-40
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: last year, and Florida State somehow found a way to
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: lose that game. Stu, the power goes out. They're trying
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: to figure out how to play this game. Perfect representation
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: of Florida State in 2026. Perfect representation in Jim Phillips'
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: ACC in 2026. They kicked off that game without full
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: stadium lights, without PA speakers, without ref mics, without sideline iPads,
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: without coach-to-player communications, without a scoreboard, and without the ability
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: to go to instant replay.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Football back when Golik played. Yep. Hand in the dirt football.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We got back to basics. I enjoyed it for a half.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Did you not? I mean, Lucy, did you enjoy it
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: or no? I was laughing at it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: It's funny. I, I, so it was embarrassing because normally
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: these like college football game days, I spend them alone.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I got too much shit to do. I can't be entertaining.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: But since this was like the one like singular game,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: I texted a buddy. I said, do you want to
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: come watch the Florida state game with me? It'll be fun.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: I swear. And then we're sitting at a bar with
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: just B roll shots of the stadium when the lights
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: were on for an hour and a half. And I
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: was like, I'm so sorry, dude. It's like never happens.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: I swear. That's like, I mean, it happens to Florida State,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: but this like really does not happen that often. And
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: so we came back to my apartment, watched the first half.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed it because it was stupid. Like I enjoyed
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: it because SMU kept doing dumb stuff and Florida State
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: just couldn't do anything with the dumb stuff. And Florida
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: State's interesting. They have good receivers. They have a great
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: running back room. They just don't have anything else and
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: they have no plan. And I saw this tweet that
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: was perfect that was like, Well, Florida State's got the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: best shot they can right now because Mike Norvell can't
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: talk to the players. Like, this is their best opportunity.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I think there was a point last night where Norvell
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: went for the challenge flag and realized we don't have–
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: nothing's working.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I can't challenge the play. Yes, I like that. Yes.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: No more challenges.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: It is honestly a good system for Florida State. It's
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: take as much decision-making power that he has out of
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: his hands. Like they should just turn the power off
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: for every single day.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: I smell a conspiracy theory.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I smell somebody in Florida State's like, hey, I think
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: we can fix this. Just flip this switch.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Apparently it was like a college kid crashed into some
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: like power thing and it had been broken for like
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: a day. Right. Someone's going to have to do that again.
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: At the end of the game, I was begging for
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: another power outage to stop having to watch this Florida
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: State offense and Ashton Daniels try to go down the field. Lucy,
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: we're like two years removed away from this FSU team
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: being a 13-0 team, getting left out of the playoffs
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: when Travis gets hurt at the quarterback position. How do
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: you kind of make sense of how quickly they've fallen
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: off a cliff as a program?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: It was, that year was sort of like a just
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: kind of perfect storm of they had one of those
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: really unique transfer portal halls. But if you look at
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: how Florida State was building, it is not shocking now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: like 2020, where Mike Norvell was like not recruiting well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: They seem to have a lot of dysfunction with coaches
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: turnover and stuff like that, like They were so reliant
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: on the portal without any sort of backup plan that
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: when it all went to hell, they had no other options.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: And so the foundation was kind of there. They just
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: had such an insane year with Jordan Travis, with Jared Verse,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: with this very talented roster where they are able to
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: go 13-0. But- You look at how they got there
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: and it was just kind of fluky. And so also
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: part of it is like I think TCU and Florida State,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: two teams we look at now, have been like, how
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: did it fall so quickly? I honestly think Georgia killed them.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: I think Georgia is a little bit responsible. Like have
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: you ever been beat so bad that it takes years
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: to recover? I think that is what's happened to Florida
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: State and TCU.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Mikey.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Lucy, today the news came out that the SEC filed
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: an amendment and essentially they're asking if they can kick
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: LSU out of the SEC if it gets that far.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: How far is this going to go, Lucy? Where do
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: you see this ending?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: With a national championship.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to kick LSU out of
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the SEC. What this seems is like a power play
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: right now. The SEC is very angry that they cannot
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: enforce their own rules and The sort of conversation of
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: the SEC breaking away from the rest of college football
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: hasn't necessarily been about losing to the Big Ten and,
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: you know, well, they haven't been in national championship games,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: but whatever. It's more of like, hey, we don't have
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: any ability to enforce our own rules right now, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: that's what we want. So this is basically like a
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: power move to LSU to be like, hey, we have
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the power to kick you out, and we just wanted
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: you to keep that in mind. Because Lane Kiffin didn't
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: add any professional players to the Clemson lineup. Like, he
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: listened that time. But I do think it's important to
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: note that it is not just Lane Kiffin. The soccer
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: team added professional players. Will Wade will not sleep until
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: he has a whole, he needs the Lakers G team.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Like that is his goal in life. And so I
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: don't think they'll kick them out. I think LSU, my
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: whole thing is like, I'm more worried about Will Wade
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: than Lane Kiffin because like Lane Kiffin back down, Will
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Wade is just like a real liability. You really don't know.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: What he's going to do.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: He might just say, screw it. And so I don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: think they're going to kick LSU out, but This is
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: a move to be like, hey, you have to listen
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: to the rules if you're in this conference, which I
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: think is fair.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: It's one week. It's early. Granted.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But Taylor thinks that LSU is the best college football
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: team of all time.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: You agree?
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Taylor. Breathe.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Sam Leavitt.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: I like Sam Leavitt. He loves Sam Leavitt. He does.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's hard not to like him.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: You're back in Florida and immediately a Florida man. That's crazy.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: You have to stop. You can't be saying crazy stuff
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: like that.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Lucy, can the SEC stop with this whole boo-hoo LSU act?
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: They need Lane Kiffin. They need LSU to be a
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: national powerhouse. And then my only complaint with this whole
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: situation with Lane Kiffin is Is Lane Kiffin kind of
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: plays both sides where he's like, why doesn't everybody like me?
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: But then he also does things where you're like, man,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: I really don't like Lane Kiffin. Like after the game,
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: when he's talking about Clemson, he was like, our scout
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: team scored more against us. I was like, man, Lane, Yeah,
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: he doesn't care.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: He's like an undiagnosed narcissist. Like I think he genuinely
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: has a personality disorder and I'm cool with that. Like
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I look at Lane Kiffin as something that we need.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: I don't view Lane Kiffin as he is like college
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: football needs a villain and he plays that role better
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: than anybody. But I genuinely think it's a personality disorder.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Like I really do. Did you hear the, the leaks
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: like halftime audio of his speech he gave? It was
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: just like, dog, you're up by 30 right now. This
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: is insane. They're like, he's just screaming that everybody hates
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: us and we have to prove that they should hate us.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: And you're like, they already do. I don't know what
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: we're trying to do here. It's one of those things
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: where college football needs Lane. Lane needs college football. I'm
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: just going to let him live his life. I'm grateful
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: for the entertainment. And I do think the SEC... needs LSU,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: but I am not willing to go as far as
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: saying they're the greatest college football team of all time
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: because I don't think Clemson is particularly good.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: It's early. He's reserved. You know, he could change his opinion,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: but just right now, yes. We all have bad takes.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: This might be a good take. We'll see. We'll see
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: what happens.
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: I'm still reeling off my Oklahoma State is going to
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: be a good team take.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Such a terrible take I have.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I thought Michigan was going.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: To be good.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I'm, like, so embarrassed.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: You went to Missouri this weekend for the home opener.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: How was that?
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: It was cool. It was, like, hot as Hades. So,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: to be honest, I left after the first quarter. But
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: here's the thing. I want to give credit to Mizzou.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I had the best ice cream I've ever had in
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: my life there.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Bucks ice cream. Mizzou has an ag school, so they
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: have a little spot where– and a lot of schools
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: have stuff like this– where they have an ice cream
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: shop that's just straight cow to– facility to you know
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: consumer and so it's like operated by the students i
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: think and it was the best ice cream i've ever
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: had the tiger stripe at bucks is phenomenal like i
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: don't even know the texture was perfect it was phenomenal
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: there are like other schools that have this like nc
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: state has it taylor i don't know if you ever
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: went they have it though in like a like a
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: cow pasture so it smells like like manure and so
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: it's not as like enjoyable of an experience.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah Taylor went to Death Valley this weekend for the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: first time.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Have you been to Death Valley? You've been to Death Valley, right?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: No?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I've been to it, yep. Been twice.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I went with Lucy. Oh, that's right.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: He went with me. Yeah. I had no idea. I
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: asked her what other games she went to this weekend.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: She said just Missouri.
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: No, I've been to Baton Rouge before.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's right.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: I got confused.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean my bad.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Because Jesus. She said it three times.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: One of the things you'll notice every time.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: I wasn't listening. All three times.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: When LSU plays home games, they'll put up a stat
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: like LSU at night games is is like 40-2 their
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: last 42 games. And Lucy was at both losses.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: You know what, Mikey? I should have used better judgment there.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I just went to Lucy or Goosey.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I'm terrible.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Let's get to Lucy or Goosey. Do you have something
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: for Lucy or Goosey? Some props here?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Lucy is this guy.
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Taylor Lindsay gave this to me.
• 13:29
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And then Goosey is going to be this Mizzou button.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Because I haven't hung it up yet.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You left after the first quarter.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: It was like 95 degrees, and they were up by 20.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: It was against Arkansas Pine Bluff. Like, if anybody wants
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: to fight me on that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, no.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Sheryl Crow wasn't singing anything else.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: She was.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: I would have stayed.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Golden Lions.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: The Golden Lions. Anyway.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: I said that on air. Damn you.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Lucy or Goosey?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Dabo Swinney will not survive this season as the head
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: coach of Clemson.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Goosey. Do you guys know how much his buyout is?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: How much?
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: $ 57 million.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: What's that? It's Norvell money.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Clemson does not have $ 57 million. I'm telling you that
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: right now. Clemson fans are, like, very loud. Like, we're
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: not winning because we don't have money. So they are
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: not firing Dempo. They do not have the money to
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: fire him.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: All right. Lucy, you're goosey. Ohio State, Texas. I care
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: about it. But it really doesn't matter because both teams
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: are making the playoffs.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go Goosey because you probably said that
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: last year, and then Texas.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Didn't make the playoffs.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I did.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, I asked you the same question. There we go.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Lucy or Goosey, Malachi Toney is the best player in
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: college football.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I think I want to go Lucy on this one,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: and it makes me sick to my stomach because you
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: guys know I'm a Miami hater. I was watching that
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: Stanford game. I was like, oh, my God, it's going
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: to be a long year for me. This is just really,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: he is unreal. I'd like to see how Jeremiah Smith
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: looked very good against Ball State. And obviously Stanford, I
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: can't say obviously Stanford's better than Ball State. Like, we
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: can't really say that. But Texas this weekend, we'll get
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: to see Jeremiah Smith. I would have to pick, if
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: I picked the three best players in college football right now,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Malachi Toney, Jeremiah Smith, and Trinidad Chambliss.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Lucy or Goosey?
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell is going to save Kaylin DeBoer's job at Alabama.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go goosey on that. I still have
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: concerns about Alabama watching that ECU game. A lot of
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: people have that as an upset. That obviously did not happen.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Ryan Coleman Williams still can't catch anything, which that's a
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: big concern for them. I don't feel confident in their
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: run game. I thought their offensive line looked a little
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: bit better, but against an ECU defense. No discredit to ECU.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: They're one of the better G6 teams, but I just
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: don't have enough faith. I thought the choice for Keelan
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: Russell over Austin Mack was the right choice, but I
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: still think that I don't have Alabama making the playoff
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: this year, and I think that's enough that the fans
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: are going to be really pissed.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Lucy or Goosey, Oregon is overrated. Ooh, I like that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: Okay, you guys, I'm going to go Goosey. Maybe that's
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: because I picked Oregon to win the national championship, and
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I just don't want to be embarrassed because I've been
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: embarrassed a lot recently. But I don't look at the
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Boise State game as– I didn't look at that as like, oh,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: my God, the way I looked at the Michigan game
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: because Dante Moore looked great. Their defense needs to spruce
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: some things up. That's a fantastic Boise State team. Maddox
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Madsen had the game of his life there. Everything worked
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: right for Boise State. and Oregon just did some kind
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: of stupid stuff on special teams, and they just were
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: a little bit sloppy, where I still think Oregon is
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: very good, and I think that game helps them more
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: than playing Portland State would have, which they do play
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Portland State this year. And so I still think Oregon
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: is very, very good, and I think they'll benefit in
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the long run from playing Boise State, who right now
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: looks like the clear frontrunner to make the playoff. Like,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: that was a playoff game.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Lucy or Goosey, Michigan had no business celebrating that victory.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I could not Lucy this harder. I'm telling you right now, Stu,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: if I met someone and they're like, yeah, I stormed
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the field against Western Michigan. That's enough of a red
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: flag that I'd like. This is not. We can't be friends.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: We can't. You are like two. Like, we're not compatible. Like, genuinely,
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: it is the biggest ick in the world. That was embarrassing.
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: You're supposed to be in good school. Get off the field.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: And by the way, you guys are so worried about it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Everyone being mad at Michigan. You need to be worried
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: about Bryce Underwood. That needs to be your top concern
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: right now. Not how everybody's angry at you. Your quarterback
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: is awful.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: You spent $ 10 million.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: She's not done.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah. It felt like Kyle Whittingham didn't want to celebrate
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: that game.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Well, he didn't know.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Why would he?
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Why would you? He's better.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Kyle Whittingham had the most like safe by the bell.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Look at the break the fourth wall and be like,
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: how did I get here? Look during that entire game.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Like every time they panned to him, it was like,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: and then the like hand over the face. He just
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: looked miserable. He, he was very much like could have
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: retired like this. This could have been over. I could
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: have had a statue at Utah. It, They shouldn't have
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: celebrated that game. They played terrible. They shouldn't have won
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: that game. I still don't understand. This is the first
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: time in my life I see how people get really
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: deep into crazy conspiracy theories and stuff like that because
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: the Big Ten tried to explain it to me and
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: they had evidence and I just was like, no, I
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: don't believe it. That's the first time. This was the
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: first time in my life I've been like, okay, I
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: see how QAnon could have happened. I get it because
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: I don't believe it. I think it's made up. What
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: do you mean there's a secret clock? Where's the secret
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: clock at? Let me see it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: The football gods will not allow Michigan to beat Oklahoma
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: this week. Lucy or Goosey?
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I'm going to go Goosey on this. I think I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: very high on Oklahoma this year. I really think they're very,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: very good. I just know that like the way the
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: universe works is like Michigan is going to look really
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: good in that game or something like it's just going
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: to be one of those things that it's done purposely
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: despite me. where Michigan will come out and look like
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: the best team in the world or something. I'm hoping
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong because I think Bryce Underwood is very bad
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: and I think Oklahoma's defense is very, very good. But
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: I won't say it's like a lock right now. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: think right now Oklahoma's a five and a half point favorite.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: So Vegas is still a little iffy on it too.
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: Iowa has an offense.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Lucy or Goosey?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Lucy. So your situation, your situation. Do we have a quarterback?
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Do we have a receiver? Heck yeah,
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: we do. Tony Diaz, the UT Rio Grande Valley transfer,
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: has already changed my life. Stu, he turned down Alabama.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: He said, I'd rather go to Iowa. And was that
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: a bad decision? Potentially.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: No, it was.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: He looked awesome.
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Where Iowa is still doing this silly thing where they
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: are switching out quarterbacks every three drives. And the one
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: that looks like Morgan Wallen is doing a lot worse,
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: even though he's who I wanted. And then the tall
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: one that doesn't look like Morgan Wallen is doing better.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: And so... I don't know if they're going to keep
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: doing that against Iowa State. I don't really love either
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: of them at this point, but the offensive line looked phenomenal.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Northern Illinois is insanely bad, one of the worst football
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: teams I've ever seen, so I'm not trying to put
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: too much weight into it. But Iowa has a receiver
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: for the first time in forever. and my life is on, like,
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: the sun is shining brighter. I'm hearing the birds in
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: the morning, and they just keep singing Tony Diaz, Tony Diaz.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: I love him so much.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: He needs a kidney.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: You give me a call.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: All right, Taylor, put it on the poll. Can you
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: have a wide receiver if you don't have a quarterback?
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: We're going to find out, aren't we?
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: We're going to find out.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: But right now you're feeling pretty good about it. I mean,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: you are. You should. I feel great.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: And I was like, Big Ten schedule is pretty easy
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: compared to everybody else. And the only tough games on there,
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Ohio State. Let's just, we'll just put that. All right.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: I understand what that's.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Going to look like.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Washington, who looked not fantastic this weekend. And Michigan, who
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: looked terrible.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to say we're going to the playoff,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: but I'm also not saying we're not going to the playoff.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: You're not ruling it out. I like it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: Lucy, you mentioned that the birds just keep singing Tony
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Diaz over and over, and I've noticed that's a trend
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: for you because, Stu, when I went to Baton Rouge
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: with Lucy, we had a 30-minute drive from the airport.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Fourth time, yeah.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: And the entire car ride from the airport to the hotel,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: We listened to Colin Baton Rouge on repeat. We heard
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: it about 30 times. It was cute until about the
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: third time.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then it becomes hell, right?
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Taylor keeps bringing up this story everywhere we go.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: It's like, I introduced him to my friends, and he
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: was like, hey, do you want to hear this time
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: that Lucy played this song over and over and over again?
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: 30 times in a row.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Then what I'll do is I'll play Colin Baton Rouge
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: for people and they'll go, yeah, I'd love to listen
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: to that 30 times in a row. So I think
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: that is user error on Taylor's fault. Taylor doesn't even
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: listen to music. So sorry I'm trying to expand your palate.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Sorry I'm trying to embrace the experience. Operator, won't you
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: put me on through? I've got to send my love
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: down to Baton Rouge.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, my top artist this past year on Spotify
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: was Frank Sinatra just because I listened to it after
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: Yankee Games.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so your take is so not valid to me.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: With a Shirley Temple. You are a thousand years old, man.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Taylor, what was the Spotify listening age it gave you?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I think it said like 85.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: I think it said 85 and decrepit on it.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It said hospice care on it.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: It was just a flat line.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: I want to ask more questions, but I'm not certain
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: we can end any better. So let's just bookmark it
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: right there. Lucy, we appreciate it. I am sorry that
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: you were tired after just.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: One week of college football.
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: I was so tired. Being an influencer, Stu, you have
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: no idea how hard it is.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: She is the host of the College Football Happy Hour
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: with Jessica Smetana. Check her out right there. Lucy, we
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll talk to you hopefully next week if
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you make it.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: I'm going to Texas.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, wow.
