Indiana Remains Unbeaten & Louisville vs. Kentucky in Early November? · Height Differential

0:01
Give it, give it to me. Let's do it this time.
0:12
I don't know how this is going to go.
0:13
We'll figure it out. Just fly up the seat of our
0:15
paint. Yep.
0:17
We're back. It's the height differential.
0:20
That's the six six, Neil. I'm the four foot 10, Nick.
0:23
We're going to do this on a Sunday.
0:25
We didn't have to suffer through another agonizing the Bengals
0:28
loss. So we're ready to come here and
0:31
talk to you about all the football action this weekend.
0:32
We're we're in a better mood today.
0:35
We're cheery. I'm not going to lie, I look
0:38
forward to not having to watch the Bengals today.
0:40
Me too. I mean, it wasn't like we were
0:42
going to be able to watch them anyways.
0:43
Both of us have jobs to do and we were working a women's
0:47
basketball game. Coach Jeff Walls get the the
0:50
home opening victory today. So we wouldn't have been able to
0:52
watch it anyway. But it was it was good that I
0:54
didn't have to pay any attention.
0:56
Absolutely. And the sad thing is I probably
0:59
wouldn't have worked if the Bengals were playing because I
1:01
would have put myself through the agony and chose not to work.
1:04
But we were both there. As you said, the Cards pulled
1:07
away late and Taj Roberts really played well late and helped him,
1:13
helped him get a opening dub at the KFC Yum Center.
1:17
So, but we'll kind of focus on NFL college football for the
1:22
weekend. A lot of good action.
1:24
I guess we've kind of become, I feel like a show for the Indiana
1:28
Hoosiers football program. So you want to start there.
1:32
Yeah, I mean, it was by far the clearly the best game of the
1:36
weekend. You know, going into it, you
1:39
wouldn't have expected to say that Indiana went in as a 13 1/2
1:42
point favorite on the road at Penn State.
1:45
You know, Penn State struggling, they lost five straight.
1:48
So you know, their their season fired, obviously they fired
1:50
James Franklin a couple weeks ago.
1:52
So they were struggling. And Indiana's just been, you
1:55
know, beating everybody pretty good.
1:57
So going into it, you weren't expecting it to be much of A
1:59
game, but it turned out to be the game of the day.
2:02
Yeah, it looked like, I mean, Indiana, really, they never
2:05
busted it open like they have, but they were in control for
2:08
most of the game. And then Penn State had two big
2:11
runs to to give them the lead late.
2:13
And they were on cruise control. I mean, it was what, 20 to 7
2:18
midway through the 3rd, Penn State got kicked that field
2:21
goal. They end up scoring another
2:23
touchdown. Mendoza threw a pretty bad pick,
2:25
which then it ended up leading to another Penn State touchdown.
2:28
And you're right, they took that lead late.
2:30
Look what things looked a little bleak for the Hoosiers had to
2:34
put together a a a one minute touchdown drive with no
2:38
timeouts. And they call him heis Mendoza
2:42
for a reason, because he was Heisman esque on that last drive
2:46
when he needed to be was not his greatest overall game.
2:48
You know, he, his stats weren't eye popping by any means.
2:52
I think he threw for 100 and up 218 yards, one touchdown, one
2:56
pick. So not his greatest game, but
2:58
when they needed him to be good, he was great.
3:01
Yeah, Mendoza entered that drive with 131 yards passing and and a
3:05
pick hadn't thrown a touchdown yet and on that drive he threw
3:09
for 87 yards in a tutty. So most of the yards for that
3:12
game was was on that game-winning drive.
3:14
You talked about how they went 91 yards, but they also went
3:18
backwards on the first play and had to convert a second and 17.
3:23
They kind of really get that drive going.
3:24
That got Mendoza's confidence up a little bit and it all came.
3:30
They got the ball inside the 10 and then the the touchdown
3:34
passed to Omar Cooper Junior, which is a pass and a catch that
3:38
was. One of the greatest catches of
3:39
time. I mean, it's one of the greatest
3:41
catches. I think you'll see the fact.
3:43
That. I think he got one I.
3:45
Think he might have almost got 2.
3:47
In it was close. I think that one foot was
3:49
hovering over the out of bounds line and it never actually
3:52
touched until he got that first foot, that second foot down.
3:56
I mean, the body control just to get the foot down, the referee
4:00
was right on top of it, nailed the call.
4:02
I mean, it was an incredible catch.
4:04
And then before that, CC Becker had the catch to set him up
4:07
inside the tan and that was a great catch.
4:09
I mean, Charlie Becker got out of nowhere, 7 catches, 118
4:13
yards. You know, coming into the game
4:14
he was, you know, not one of the top options on offense.
4:17
But I mean, he came out of nowhere yesterday and had a
4:19
great game. Yeah.
4:20
And you know, Signetti, you know, after games a lot of times
4:24
he has that just that confidence and that cockiness a little bit.
4:27
He was he was kind of amazed of the fact that you could tell
4:31
that he was impressed that they were able to kind of take those
4:34
punches and and figure out a way to win that game late.
4:37
He was, he was kind of emotional a little bit.
4:39
How about his answer to the reporter question of I use never
4:44
one here at Penn State, you know, what's it going to take to
4:47
get the first win or something like that.
4:48
Do you hear his answer? This team has never played here.
4:53
That was. I mean, he's right.
4:54
It will use right? That's right.
4:56
And I love, I love his answer. Yeah, 13 straight losses at Penn
5:01
State and I know Penn State is winless in in the Big 10 and has
5:05
obviously gone through changes with the coaching staff, but I
5:08
mean, you still have that weight on your shoulders, right, trying
5:12
to trying to get that big win at Penn State and they were able to
5:17
do it. And no, I, I just look, the
5:21
bottom line is survive and advance, remain undefeated.
5:24
You're not out. Not every game is going to be 55
5:27
to 10, which is kind of been their MO where most of those
5:30
games have been like that. You're going to have games like
5:33
this where you have to figure out a way to win.
5:34
And I think you're right. I think, I think this kind of
5:37
was a a Heisman moment for Mendoza, who didn't have his
5:41
greatest game but was able to be great when they needed him late.
5:45
And it it's the first time that Indiana has had a game-winning
5:51
touchdown pass in the final minute in the last 20 seasons.
5:55
So we keep seeing more and more numbers from Indiana that we
5:59
haven't seen before. And thoughts and prayers to Gus
6:01
Johnson because I thought he about died on that call, on the
6:04
touchdown call. I mean, Gus is one of the best
6:07
in the business. But man, Gus, Gus cracked a
6:10
couple times on that last one. But he's he's a big Mendoza guy.
6:14
He said give him the Heisman And I, I kind of agree with him,
6:16
give him the Heisman. I mean, yeah, but and and you
6:21
know, Ohio State rolled against a Purdue team that that's not
6:25
very good. Jeremiah Smith had a another
6:28
great game with 10 catches, 137 yards.
6:31
So not much to really say on that one because Purdue is ever
6:35
since Brahmas left has just not been very good.
6:38
I don't think they've I think that they're losing streak in
6:41
the big 10 is maybe stretched multiple seasons.
6:44
So. Yeah, no, Purdue, Yeah, not much
6:49
you can say about Purdue. They're just, they're just not,
6:52
not very good as of right now, but.
6:54
Or Oregon gets a a game-winning fill go from Atticus Sappington.
7:02
What a name, What a name? I think we, this makes me want
7:06
to go through and like just come up with some of the, maybe we
7:09
can do this on Wednesday. But when you've got a guy named
7:12
Attica Sappington, it makes me want to, like, come up with some
7:15
of the best names in the history of sports.
7:17
Yeah, my personal favorite, I think from recent memory, was
7:21
former Louisville cornerback Storm Duck was one of my
7:25
personal favorites. So maybe that's something we can
7:27
do on Wednesday, do a little research, come up with some
7:30
really good names. I haven't had time to do it
7:31
because it's been a busy weekend, but I get a text from
7:34
Carl. I did.
7:35
Were you on the thread too, where it's just Atticus dot
7:38
Sappington dot yes as as he kicked the game-winning field
7:43
goal? Does anything does anything
7:45
stream Iowa football more than an 18 to 16 slugfest against 2
7:51
ranked teams? That's just.
7:54
That's what they do. And to to speak on that, the 18
7:57
points by Oregon is the fewest points in a win over ranked team
8:01
since 2000. So they were able to win a game
8:04
play in Iowa style. And Iowa, I mean, I had a couple
8:09
pass plays on that last drive where they took the lead and
8:13
looked like they had converted 2 to put them up 3.
8:16
But then and they called it good on the field.
8:18
But then they go to the replay and it was pretty obvious that
8:22
that he caught it out of bounds and they ended up overturning
8:24
that, which was huge because now at a sapping Atticus
8:29
Sappington's game-winning field go is a game-winning field go
8:33
instead of a game tying field go.
8:35
But what one of the plays that really stuck out to me was that
8:38
pass to Dante Moore to Malik Vincent on the sideline.
8:41
I mean, just a perfect dart. Like the defender was right on
8:46
top of me. The only thing he didn't do is
8:47
turn around and try to find the ball, but was really covered.
8:50
But great throw by Dante Moore is Oregon figured out a way to
8:55
win an ugly game against like you said in Iowa team that
8:58
that's just what they do. That's what they do.
9:00
And it was it was gross weather too, so add that on top of it.
9:04
Yeah, had the rain going. Yeah, that's true.
9:06
Bama, then, not a pretty game, but they've figured out a way to
9:10
win. They've won 13 in the last 15
9:11
against LSU. We we definitely need to talk
9:14
about the the Vanderbilt game and you talk about a Heisman
9:18
moment. Yeah.
9:20
You you were reading me Diego Pavia's numbers.
9:23
I mean, he was to play, he he was two incredible players
9:28
playing two different positions almost, you know, passing.
9:31
He was 25 of 33377 yards and three touchdowns.
9:37
And then as a rusher, 18 carries, 112 yards and another
9:42
touchdown. Yeah, absolutely.
9:44
Out of a quarterback. It's absolutely incredible in a
9:47
game with your Vandy like that's a this is a playoff, potential
9:51
playoff saving game because you can't lose to Auburn and you go
9:54
to overtime with them, but you can't lose to Auburn and your
9:56
your season's over if you lose this game.
9:58
So they saved their season. Diego Pavia saving Vanderbilt
10:01
football here in 2025. Yeah, in a week after Auburn
10:06
couldn't do anything against Kentucky, they go out and score
10:09
3038 points and Cam Coleman looks like he could beat the
10:15
best wide receiver in the country with some of the catches
10:17
that he was making. Had 10 catches from 1:43 and a
10:20
touchdown. They tried to find him on the
10:22
when they needed it on 4th down in overtime and and overthrew
10:25
him in the end zone. And that's that's how they lost.
10:28
But I mean, yeah, dude, you just look at Pavi's number.
10:31
Yeah, it's two players. We're we're back in the show.
10:34
Hey, we're back in the show. Hey, comment running back and
10:37
quarterback throwing for 377, rushing for 1/12 and was was
10:42
perfect in overtime. And no, I mean, I've got a
10:46
number here on Vanderbilt. They're eight and two for the
10:49
first time since 1941. The doors are for real.
10:56
They are. And I mean, I, I just, I, I, I
11:00
mean, we watched the, the UK Auburn game last week and didn't
11:03
look like the same. Team No they're not.
11:06
Up and down the field and scored 38 points.
11:08
I don't. But Kentucky's defense might be
11:09
a little better than Mandy's. I don't think it's that much
11:11
better, but. Yeah, no.
11:14
A&M remains undefeated. They start off their season 9
11:19
and O for the first time since 1992.
11:24
Cal comes into Louisville and gets records their they were 18
11:30
1/2 point underdogs, record their largest underdog win since
11:33
1986. And then Virginia loses too.
11:38
Two of the top teams in the ACC go down, and that ACC race is
11:42
kind of wide open now. Yeah, no, Yep, Louisville.
11:46
This pointing loss for Louisville, I mean, give Cal
11:49
credit. I mean that freshman quarterback
11:52
drawn. I can't even begin.
11:54
JKS just. Yeah, we'll just call them JKS.
11:56
Yeah, don't even know how to how to go there.
11:58
So, I mean, 33123 yards, 2 touchdowns.
12:01
I mean, an incredible performance from that young man.
12:03
And Jacob de Jesus, the wide receiver, 16 catches, 158 yards
12:08
at a touchdown. I mean, he was just given
12:10
Louisville fits all night, you know, disappointing.
12:13
Hopefully they can bounce back. You know, they still got their
12:16
some really tough games down the stretch here with Clemson coming
12:20
to town Friday night and then at SMU and then the rivalry to end
12:23
it. So play just slow to play for if
12:24
you're the Cards just got to bounce back and get past this
12:27
one. But you're, I mean dude, JK, he
12:30
S looked unbelievable and I mean, I didn't know much about
12:33
him going into the game to be honest.
12:35
With. You true freshman quarterback
12:37
made every throw that he had to make and I mean every throw
12:41
right on target like he he was really good he.
12:44
Was very. And, and really poised, yeah, I
12:48
mean, disappoint, obviously a disappointing loss for the
12:50
Cards. Let's hope this doesn't affect
12:52
the crowd too much because looking been looking forward to
12:55
this Friday night game against Clemson for a long time and I
12:57
know Clemson's not the Clemson that we're used to seeing, but.
13:00
Still. Still, Clemson's still Friday
13:03
night game, so hoping the atmosphere will be really.
13:05
Good on Friday night, it'll be good time it'll be, it'll be
13:07
good. The game of the week was Texas
13:12
Tech and BYU and Texas Tech just kind of took care of business,
13:17
went up 26 to nothing and yeah, really everybody's looking
13:23
forward to it and it wasn't much to to really watch.
13:26
No, yeah, I mean, you're you're right.
13:28
Texas Tech took care of business.
13:30
I mean, BYU, your guy Bear only 188 yards, one touchdown, one
13:34
pick, 23 of 38. So not his greatest game.
13:38
Texas Tech's defense just, you know, came to play, held him to
13:41
seven points. And I mean, it was an easy, like
13:43
you said, it was supposed to be the game of the week.
13:45
And it turned out to be a a pretty good, pretty good butt
13:47
whoop. And you know, Texas Tech is a
13:50
team that we haven't talked much about on this show much and they
13:56
went out and spent a lot of money on that that on that
13:58
defense. And, you know, we've seen teams
14:01
that have spent a lot of money in an IO and it not really
14:04
always lead to great results. This this defense is really
14:07
good. And it's led by Jacob Rodriguez,
14:10
who the head coach Joey McGuire was really pushing him to to be
14:14
a Heisman Trophy candidate. And in the game yesterday, he
14:18
kind of really put his name on the national stage with 14
14:21
tackles. He had a pick, He had a fumble
14:23
recovery. And Patrick Mahomes is at the
14:25
game and he's he's putting out on social.
14:29
Get him to New York. So I, I mean, I admittedly
14:33
didn't know much about this Texas Tech team until watching
14:36
this game. And I mean, I've heard a lot
14:38
about their defense and they held BYU to no points through
14:42
3/4. And, and really, I mean,
14:45
Brockmeyer was just under pressure the entire game and
14:47
never was able to get into any kind of rhythm.
14:51
Yeah, Rodriguez mentioned Rodriguez.
14:53
I mean, he's 6 just outside the top ten I think in the nation in
14:57
total tackles. But yesterday, 4, you said 14
14:59
tackles, one for loss, a pick and a fumble.
15:02
Like he's he was everywhere. Seems to be the leader of that
15:05
defense. I don't know if if we're putting
15:07
him in the Heisman conversation, but I mean, when's the last
15:10
time, what do you know, the last time we've had a defensive
15:12
player in New York? Actually, just going to New
15:15
York. Yeah.
15:16
Was Aiden Hutchinson in there? I'm not even 100% sure.
15:20
It's not common. It's definitely not common So.
15:22
I mean the offensive players that have won it.
15:25
Charles Woodson, probably the last one that's won it.
15:28
Yeah. But just going to New York, it's
15:30
not not very common. They even go to New York.
15:33
No, but I mean, you got to run a campaign to to get them there.
15:38
And yeah, you know, their head coach Patrick Mahomes is, is
15:42
both doing that. And I mean, we all know who he
15:44
is now. And this, this Texas Tech
15:47
defense looks for real. I, I, there was, I think there
15:51
was a stat before that game, whoever wins that game has like
15:54
a 90% chance to make the playoff.
15:56
So Texas Tech looking like in in good shape to get to get to the
16:00
playoff and. Yeah, they're they're in the
16:02
driver's seat in the Big 12. Yeah, on on Friday night, we
16:06
don't really need to get into the game.
16:08
USC beats Northwestern 38 to 17. But one play that I wanted to
16:13
talk about was the fake punt. Did you see the fake punt?
16:18
I'm not you. You have told me about it
16:20
though, but I've not seen it. For people like college
16:25
football, rosters are so big. You have multiple players with
16:30
the same number. And this happens multiple times.
16:33
It's not like just one guy has 80, like multiple players have
16:36
the same numbers. And most of the time one of them
16:38
is an offensive player and one of them is a defensive player.
16:40
But it like, if you're working games and doing stats, sometimes
16:44
that can make it confusing. Yeah, because you're not 100.
16:48
Are you sure that's who that was?
16:49
And special teams, both offensive and defensive players
16:52
are out there. So it just, it really can be
16:55
confusing. But they pulled a little trick
17:00
on their roster as they listed Sam Hewitt, who had been wearing
17:04
7 all year. They changed his number to 80.
17:08
And 80 is also the number of their punter, Sam Johnson.
17:12
So in the, I believe it was the third quarter, they run the punt
17:16
unit out there and it's #80 back there to punt.
17:20
And another thing with USC is they don't have their names on
17:23
the back of their jerseys, which I don't really think that's
17:26
going to make a difference because you're not.
17:28
I don't think the coaching staff is going to look and be like,
17:30
oh, no, that's says here. It doesn't say Johnson on the
17:33
back of his jersey. Yeah, I don't think it could
17:35
make a difference. Essentially, I mean, it adds
17:37
another element to it, but they run the punt unit out there and
17:42
80s back to punt, which is normal.
17:44
I mean, I think he's a little taller, but that's not something
17:47
that you're really paying attention to the.
17:50
Only way, only way that is to be noticeable is if you and I were
17:53
out there with the same number. Yeah, that would this that's why
17:56
this is called the height differential.
17:58
Yes, we could not pull that. No, we could.
18:00
It would not work. But they converted a 4th and 6th
18:04
by if you were. And dude, this guy's like a
18:06
former five star recruit and like this is like his shining
18:12
moment in in college football because he hasn't really lived
18:15
up to the hype. He's played for Washington, for
18:17
Cal Poly and now for USC. And but yeah, they run a fake
18:22
punt on 4th and 6th and they're third string Q BS back there in
18:26
7th punt wearing a Brady. Kudos to USC and the coaching
18:29
staff for, you know, thinking of this, being creative with this
18:33
and, you know, using that to, like you said, the dual numbers
18:36
to your advantage. I mean, good on them for, for,
18:39
you know, thinking of something that like like this, but why are
18:42
we allowing like, why do we allow?
18:45
I was getting numbers. It's just it, it doesn't like
18:47
why it doesn't make sense because stuff like this happens.
18:50
It's you could say it's by the book, but like what's let's do
18:53
like what they do in horse racing.
18:54
You got 2 play, you got one and one A.
18:56
You got 5 and 5A or 80 and 80 A Put the A on the jersey.
19:01
So you know who is who, but you should not have two number 80s
19:04
out there for, for to try to purposely deceive the other team
19:08
like it's, it's, it's not cheating, but it feels like
19:11
cheating. So, and look, they they updated
19:14
the roster like they could have caught it.
19:16
They could have. What you have to thumb through,
19:18
you're gonna thumb through that every game to make sure they're
19:21
not changing stuff. Not for a punter.
19:24
And I mean, let's be honest, if I'm number 88, that's that's
19:28
kind of lame. Like what's your number 88?
19:31
You're going to go triple, so you want triple digit numbers.
19:34
I don't know, like there's more than 100 guys on these rosters
19:37
are so. Big yeah, there is.
19:38
So you either have to go triple digit numbers or you go with
19:42
ADAADB. When you start going letters.
19:47
You just thought we got this double Z out there ZX like LLP.
19:53
What's what's worse, you're being Are you number X or would
19:56
you rather be ADA? It's the ADA.
20:00
I But there's a lot of people out there saying that this
20:03
should not be legal or 100% be a.
20:06
Penalty or you just put it like, like you said, it's usually it's
20:09
an offensive player and a defensive player with the same
20:11
name. So if you got 2 #50 sixes number
20:14
56 O, that's the offensive guy, 56 D, that's the defensive guy,
20:18
and you know who's who. But how?
20:20
So? How big are you putting this O
20:22
or this D on on their jersey? I don't know, you just make it
20:25
fit. Like are you just doing a little
20:28
O like little D next to next to it?
20:31
Maybe. Yeah, probably.
20:33
I mean, like you make a fit, Yeah, it's a little bit smaller
20:36
than number, but at least some kind of identifier.
20:39
Are other teams going to try to pull this down?
20:41
Like, I'll give them credit, like you thought of it, nobody
20:43
has thought of it. Well, I, like I said, yeah, the
20:45
credit, I mean the absolute credit goes to them.
20:47
But I mean, now other teams might still try to pull it
20:53
because I mean, do you take a lesson from you from from like,
20:58
do you take a lesson out of this if you're a coach and now all of
21:01
a sudden you are thumbing through the roster to make sure
21:03
that the nobody's changed their number from the previous roster
21:07
from the week before. Like, probably not.
21:10
Well, the the Northwestern coaching staff was like, yeah,
21:13
it's on us. Like that's never going to
21:15
happen again. I.
21:16
Mean, but maybe, yeah, maybe the other coaching Staffs take a
21:21
take a note from Northwestern's failures, but I don't know, I
21:26
and I just never thought this this would the kind of thing
21:29
would happen. Yeah, I, we, another thing you
21:31
could do is they could have different color numbers maybe.
21:36
Yeah. So like instead of if you're
21:38
wearing a white jersey and your your number's red, maybe there's
21:42
a black 80 and there's a red 80. Yeah, there's that.
21:46
That would be cooler. I think that's.
21:48
Actually, probably, yeah. No, I think that's probably.
21:50
This is all over on the top of my head.
21:53
That's probably the way it should go, you're right.
21:55
Just change the color of the actual number.
21:57
Because nobody's going to get a chain that's ADA.
22:00
Like if you're getting a chain with your number on it, you're
22:02
not going to get an ADA chain. Why not?
22:05
So I mean, I don't want, I want people to be proud of their
22:09
numbers. That's true.
22:10
No, I think you're right. I think you do like, like you
22:13
said, the different color of the number on the jersey is probably
22:16
the way to go. Yeah, it's good call.
22:18
I think we have. It took a little time but I I
22:21
think we might have solved. This and if you're the NCAI,
22:23
wouldn't be surprised if they, I mean, if they look at this and
22:25
then like, all right, this isn't really fair.
22:29
I mean, it's fair, but it's not. Maybe they do like make that
22:32
rule change of like, OK, we need to have a better way of
22:35
identifying who's who. Yeah, yeah, it like I said,
22:39
working games, you see that this is an issue because when you're
22:43
recording tackles and stuff like that on special teams, you don't
22:46
always know who it is. And you got to run over to the
22:49
the other teams S ID that you're statin for and be like, hey, was
22:52
this this 80 or was it this 80? And then they'll tell you.
22:55
So like I've seen it on the stat end, which really it doesn't
22:58
affect the game, but now it's a. And it is, it is illegal.
23:03
You can, I know you cannot have the same number in the game at
23:06
the same time. So if your offensive and
23:08
defensive guy are both #5 they can't be on a punt team at the
23:12
same time. Otherwise that is a penalty.
23:14
So at least you have that you don't have to worry.
23:17
Well I mean that would be really confusing having them both on
23:19
the field the same damn time. I.
23:21
Don't. So I don't know, I the Indiana
23:28
just continue to find ways to win.
23:29
And then Texas Tech to me are the the stories of the I guess,
23:35
do we give Kentucky some credit for just putting it on Florida?
23:37
I think Mike Mark Stoops is 4 and one in the last five years
23:40
against Florida when they hadn't beat him in like 40 years.
23:45
Yeah, no. So they took it to him on.
23:48
Saturday, if we talk about the Auburn and Kentucky game where
23:50
nobody can score and then Auburn and Kentucky both go and put up
23:52
40, yeah, in the next week, It just, it doesn't make sense.
23:56
It does not make sense. And and then I guess kind of
24:00
converting to the the NFL, we, I guess we can start with the game
24:05
was in Germany, right, the first ever game.
24:07
Yeah, in Germany. Yeah, I was in Berlin.
24:09
Yeah, first game. And the Colts figure out a way
24:13
to win late. Daniel Jones on the on 1/3 and
24:16
21 where they were down 3 rushes for 19 to get them to to 4th.
24:22
And two they're able to convert that kick a field goal to, to
24:24
get it to OT. And then Jonathan Taylor, they,
24:28
I mean, they were already in field goal range but went ahead
24:30
and took care of it and got into the end zone. 200 rushing yards,
24:34
3 touchdowns for Jonathan Taylor today.
24:36
He's a beast. Only Only four players in the
24:40
history of the NFL have two games of 200 yards and three
24:44
touchdowns. We do a quick little spur of the
24:47
moment trivia. This is rushing.
24:50
Rushing, yes, 200 rushing yards, three TDs Jonathan Taylor did
24:55
that today for the second time in his career.
24:58
There's only four players that have done it two times.
25:01
Corey Dillon. Can you name the other three?
25:03
Not Corey Dillon. Who was that running back from
25:05
the Jamal? Jamal Lewis.
25:07
No, Chris. Johnson No, You got to get one
25:11
of these. These are all just Hall of
25:12
Farmers. All right.
25:14
Bo Jackson? No.
25:16
Barry Sanders? No.
25:18
Walter Payton? No.
25:21
I was going to give you 3 strikes, but I think this is
25:23
kind of funny. Three more guesses.
25:24
Rap and fire go just name great running backs.
25:29
You don't know anymore. Smith has to be on the list.
25:32
No. My God.
25:34
One is active, one is active, the other two are not.
25:37
Derrick Henry. Yes.
25:42
And how many more? One more.
25:44
Two more. Two more.
25:45
Both. Hall of Farmers.
25:47
Yeah. Jim Brown.
25:48
Yeah. OK, getting better now.
25:51
We're getting there one more. The game is Tomlinson.
25:55
Nope, this is not good radio. You're just sitting here
25:57
thinking. I, I, I, I don't know, give me
26:00
the. Give me the last one.
26:01
Adrian Peterson. But yeah, yeah.
26:06
So, I mean, and you talk about another guy, Jonathan.
26:10
I mean, we've we've talked all about Daniel Jones because this
26:13
all came out of nowhere pretty much this year.
26:14
But Jonathan Taylor maybe needs to be in the MVP conversation.
26:18
I think he is the MVP as of right now.
26:21
I mean, I think I think so. I mean, he's he's playing back
26:25
to his his Jonathan's Taylor standards.
26:27
Like when he's healthy, he's the best running back in the league.
26:30
But he's got the Colts sitting there.
26:31
What are they now? Seven and two, Eight and two?
26:35
What are we here, eight and two in first place on the way to the
26:40
playoffs? I mean, he's got to be to me.
26:41
I think he's the MVP. Yeah, and Sauce, Sauce's first
26:45
game as a as a Colt. Jumped a route, looked like he
26:50
was going to take it to the house off his hands.
26:52
Maybe he had a little too much sauce on his fingers.
26:55
I think he only, like you talked last week about how he's kind of
26:59
regressed a little bit. Yeah, he's still what, Only in
27:00
his what, 4th year? Yeah.
27:03
But he I think he only has 3 or 4 picks in his career.
27:05
Like he he doesn't have the best hands.
27:08
He's just. Different sauce on the face.
27:11
He's got the Buffalo Wild Wings garlic parm sauce on his
27:15
fingers. Yeah, butter.
27:16
Maybe get some butter on the fingers.
27:19
The Pats and the Bucks, which I thought was going to be one of
27:22
the better games of the day. And it it turned out to be that
27:26
one of our favorite things is when you get the advantage and
27:29
what we call the advantage is when you defer in the first
27:33
half. So you get the advantage of
27:34
having the ball to start the second-half and you'd love the
27:39
double. The double is when you score
27:42
what, within the last minute of the first half?
27:44
That's. What makes it?
27:46
That's what makes it an advantage.
27:48
Heck. That's why it's called the
27:49
Advantage. And it is an it's 100% an
27:52
advantage. You could be down 14 points,
27:54
score with 30 seconds to go, get the ball, score and you're tied
27:59
and your defense didn't have to do anything.
28:01
That's why it is the advantage. Correct.
28:05
New England got the ball inside the 10 with like 3 seconds left
28:09
at the end of the first half. They go for it instead of
28:12
kicking the field goal. Drake May finds digs in the
28:17
corner of the end zone. Toe, toe taps.
28:19
How they lead 14 to 10. Get the ball to start the
28:22
second-half. Trayvon Henderson to the house.
28:25
Just like that. You were down 14 to 7.
28:28
Just like that. Now it's 21 to 10.
28:32
You're just, you were down 10, seven, you said 14.
28:33
You were down 10? Seven yeah, just like that
28:36
that's that's hard dude. It's been a long day, I.
28:38
Know, but no, they, they, they pulled off the advantage.
28:41
They pulled off yeah, like the double.
28:43
That's what you're supposed to do.
28:47
Trayvon Henderson, I think was the first rookie to to have 250
28:52
plus yard touchdowns in a game. The The Patriots are real.
28:58
They are very real, yeah. I mean.
29:02
You know how I am on the on the Bucks and they didn't go away.
29:06
They still had a chance. Late, but no.
29:09
Patriots. Good on Patriots.
29:10
Surprised. I think they they're the
29:12
surprise of the NFL so far this season.
29:14
Yeah, I think it's probably a year earlier than maybe a lot of
29:18
people thought too. Yeah.
29:21
What the What in the world was the Dolphins in the Bills game?
29:26
I What are the dolphins all of a sudden?
29:28
What are they doing? Well, they were terrible last
29:30
week. Yeah, but the week before they
29:32
put up 34 on the Falcons and 1:34 ten on the road in Atlanta
29:38
and then, you know, like they come out again, though they
29:40
weren't bad last week when they put up six against the Ravens,
29:42
but you know, put up 30 on Buffalo.
29:46
And to beat him when the weather is 30 to. 30 was a good ball.
29:50
I mean, once Tyreek went out, like the locker room seemed to
29:53
be a mess. Mike McDaniel doesn't know if
29:56
he's going to have a job the next day.
29:57
The owners won't walk 2 feet off his own airplane and all of a
30:01
sudden they got a little fight in them all of a sudden.
30:04
Yeah, and, and they're in the locker room post game and in the
30:07
laundry baskets, you know, the big laundry baskets with wheels
30:10
on them. They're all, there's three of
30:12
them. They're all in them pushing them
30:13
around, having a good old time in the locker room.
30:17
But I mean, dude, Josh Allen had a pick and a lost fumble, just
30:21
did not look comfortable Throw a pick in the end zone.
30:25
I, I mean, we keep putting the Bills towards the top of our
30:29
rankings. I mean, does and and we won't do
30:32
this today. We'll do it on Wednesday.
30:33
But how much you going to penalize the Bills after this
30:36
one? Now that now they've lost sloppy
30:38
games to the Falcons? Yeah.
30:41
And the Dolphins, Yeah. That they the loss against the
30:43
Pats doesn't look as bad as it did when it happened.
30:46
That's correct. But so.
30:50
We have some company in the NFL. The Bengals have some company is
30:53
They are not the only team to lose to the New York Jets.
30:56
The Jets are on A2 game-winning streak after losing their first,
30:59
what, 6-7 Justin Field? I mean, they put up, put up
31:03
some, some decent #27 points today.
31:05
Well. It wasn't because of Justin
31:07
Fields. No, they had a.
31:09
They got a Justin Fields for. 6 of 11 for 54 yards.
31:15
I mean they did have a kick off return and a punt return.
31:17
So yes, it was not because of Justin Fields, but as a as a
31:20
team they played I guess, well enough.
31:23
I mean, we made Justin Fields look like he was once again
31:26
playing for Ohio State two yeah, two weeks ago.
31:29
And then he's he goes for 50 something yards today.
31:33
They only let him throw the ball 11 times, they ran 43 times,
31:36
only threw at 11, so they basically took it out of his
31:38
hands. Yeah, they they didn't need to.
31:40
But yeah. Sticking in the AFC North, the
31:44
Ravens after have now won three straight they're.
31:48
Going to win the Super Bowl, aren't they?
31:49
They're. Not going to win the Super Bowl,
31:51
but their defense was as much as their problem as it was
31:56
obviously Lamar being out. He wasn't out for all six of
31:59
those games to start 1:00 and 5:00.
32:00
But in the in those first six games they allowed 32 points per
32:04
game. We we talked about how bad the
32:06
AFC North defenses were and they had three takeaways in in the
32:11
first six games. In their three-game winning
32:14
streak, they've allowed fourteen points per game and have 7
32:18
takeaways. So maybe we shouldn't have done
32:22
the little segment on how bad AFC North defenses are, because
32:26
since we've done that, the Ravens defenses kind of looked
32:30
more like what we're accustomed to seeing.
32:34
Yeah, and then the Steelers defense last week for six
32:37
turnovers against the Colts. So both those defenses have
32:41
seemed to figure it out. And Speaking of Steelers
32:43
defense, they're playing right now in a baseball score out in
32:46
LA, 5 to 3 Chargers up on the Steelers with 7 minutes, 7 1/2
32:50
left to play in the second. So their looks like their
32:53
defenses also figured it out a little bit since we talked about
32:55
it. Well, I I don't know if you know
32:57
this, the Bengals have not allowed a touchdown today.
33:01
About that so maybe. Their defenses figured it out,
33:03
too. Yeah, they're all sitting at
33:06
home right now on their couches. Have you, have you seen the the
33:11
AI where they're all working at Skyline?
33:14
No, but they should all end up there.
33:16
Just just hold defense. Just talking about how they're
33:19
so much better at making chili dogs and they are stopping.
33:23
Probably drop the food on the floor, yeah.
33:25
But it's another missed tackle. How about the New Orleans Can we
33:28
talk about the New Orleans Saints and our guy Tyler Shuck
33:30
today? Yeah, tell me about it.
33:33
Tyler Shuck gets his first NFL win as an NFL starter. 19 to
33:37
27282 yards and two touchdowns. Pretty good.
33:42
Pretty good, pretty good numbers.
33:45
Saints get their second win of the season, beat the Panthers 17
33:48
to 7 on the road to improve to 2:00 and 8:00.
33:52
But Tyler Shuck first win played well.
33:53
Like I said, two 282 yards, 2 touchdowns, had two, two bombs,
33:57
one to Crystal Ave. for a touchdown and who else did you
34:02
have? Juwan Johnson had a long one as
34:05
well in that game on a on a completion so.
34:10
And a week after beating the Packers, the Panthers lose the
34:13
Saints. Like explain to me the NFL.
34:17
You can't. I got, we've said, I've said
34:19
this all year, like I don't know who's good.
34:21
Like the Bills aren't good, clearly.
34:23
I mean, are the Patriots the best team now in the league when
34:26
we do our draft this week or no, who we put like we're not
34:29
putting the Buccaneers up there. The Bills have slid.
34:33
I'll tell you, I'll tell. You.
34:34
You still losing you. Want to tell you he's good?
34:37
The Rams. Seahawks, I'm still.
34:40
Seahawks and the Rams are both good, and they're both in the
34:41
same division the Rams have now. They've won four straight, all
34:45
by 14 or more points. And Matt Stafford, the first NFL
34:51
player, the first player in NFL history with three straight
34:53
games of four TDs. No picks.
34:54
Yeah, they're they are good. You're a 42 points.
34:59
I mean, Seahawks put up 44 today.
35:01
And that's two straight just stand out performances by the
35:04
Seahawks, too. See what all Sam Darnell did
35:07
today. Not as great as game.
35:11
Only threw a ball 12 * 10 to 12178 yards for Sam Darnold. 1
35:15
touchdown, one pick, 198 yards on.
35:17
They got 46 carries in the game for the Seahawks.
35:21
It was 38 to 7 1/2 time. Wasn't wasn't really a lot of
35:24
reasons to throw the football there in the second-half.
35:27
If you gots, yeah. I mean, yeah, unless you're a
35:31
Sam Darnold fantasy owner. There's reasons.
35:36
Dude, I I don't want to get no big fan but I I forgot to update
35:39
my Dang teams like 2 of my teams like wait what are you doing
35:42
like my teams are already terrible like I never do that I
35:45
don't understand like he's. Going to be writing A10?
35:48
You're about to be writing A10 page paper on the Fast and
35:52
Furious franchise. The Hooties are really bad.
35:55
They're really bad. And all all three of my teams
35:58
are really bad and I'm used to like winning leagues or being
36:02
competitive. Joe Joe getting hurt in Week 2
36:06
just really put a damper on my season and we have not been able
36:10
to get out of that funk. So the hoodies and The Who days
36:14
both terrible. Friends, the hoodies, the
36:16
coffin, nails and squeeze play. All three are close if they're
36:20
not in the basement close to it. Nice.
36:23
And the hoodies will not be defending their crown.
36:26
The belts it it's it's in my house right now, but I'll be
36:29
giving it somebody else. Unfortunately I guess the Texans
36:35
second largest comeback in their franchise history in the Jags
36:38
biggest blow lead ever. What they came back from 19
36:42
down? Yeah, they're done. 19 going to
36:44
the fourth quarter and got outscored 26, nothing in the
36:48
4th. I mean, the last touchdown was
36:49
just a last play of the game. Trevor Lawrence fumble into the
36:55
hands of Sheldon, big Sheldon Rankings, who ran it back for a
36:58
touchdown to end the game. So it's kind of an insignificant
37:01
touchdown, but 26 to nothing in the fourth quarter, the Texans
37:05
won. And if you're the Jaguars and
37:06
Liam Cohen, like you're sitting there, you're five and three in
37:10
the thick of the playoff race. You think you're about to go to
37:12
six and three, which would put you in a real good spot.
37:15
And all of a sudden now you're five and four and and then
37:18
you've you've, you're falling apart.
37:19
No, man. But they've they've done the
37:23
opposite of what the Ravens have done and now they're basically a
37:27
game. A game separates them, too.
37:32
I don't know, but it's good for Sheldon Rankins to to do
37:35
something. Yeah, he he didn't do much last
37:37
year. And and and Stripes.
37:39
What did he know? Like what was he was out with an
37:42
illness? What did he have COVID?
37:44
They. Never really we they never
37:46
really said and it's we don't really need to get into that,
37:50
but a wasted year, but just a bad contract to begin with.
37:53
Like yeah, you lose a run stuffer and you go sign out like
37:57
a a pass, a quarterback rushing. Well, it's because he sacked
38:02
Joe. It's because he sacked Joe
38:03
Burrow 2 times in a game the year before.
38:05
They're like, oh, that's if you can do that.
38:07
We want that guy. I mean.
38:09
Why do you think Geno Stone's in stripes?
38:11
Because he had the 2 picks. It's Joe Burrow.
38:14
I mean, when you got a limited scouting staff, oh, they were
38:16
good against us, let's go get them.
38:18
Oh, what a philosophy for a franchise.
38:21
And it actually plays a role. Sadly, it's actually true.
38:25
Yeah, it is. Are the Are the Lions back to
38:29
being one of the better teams after just dismantling a
38:33
commander's team, which is not very good?
38:36
They put up 44. Gibbs had a couple touchdowns.
38:38
I mean, they they look like the normal Lions after whatever that
38:42
was last week against the Minnesota Vikings.
38:45
So they they look like the normal Lions again.
38:48
So maybe they're back on track. I don't know.
38:51
This league's just a week by week thing it seems like.
38:54
What is Deron Payne doing? Just like unleashing like a full
39:02
out just punch into a Monroe St. Brown's helmet.
39:08
Is it not like what? How stupid are you to punch a
39:11
helmet? That's that's one of the dumbest
39:13
things I've in sports is when football players decide that
39:16
they're going to fight each other when they all have battle
39:18
gear on. You're basically you've got head
39:20
to toe and pads and helmets and like anything that you're going
39:24
to try to throw and or land a punch on anywhere on their body
39:28
is going to end up hurting you more than it's going to hurt
39:30
them like they're going. To get lost.
39:33
Like they're wearing gear that's designed to protect them from
39:36
running head head on into somebody else on a collision
39:40
running full speed, and you're going to throw a punch and think
39:43
that that's going to do something just stupid.
39:46
It's it, I get it, like adrenaline and making bad
39:50
decisions and all that. I don't know what led to him
39:53
wanting to throw the punch. It looked like they were talking
39:55
a little bit. But yeah, you're going to break
39:58
your damn hand. Like you're going to break your
40:01
hand. Like at least wrestle, try to
40:02
take his helmet off and then throw the punch.
40:06
And plus you're going to you're going to break your hand and get
40:08
tossed at the same time. And maybe.
40:10
And not hurt him. And you're not?
40:12
Going to hurt him and you're probably going to get suspended.
40:14
So at least you have a week off now to recover and put some ice
40:16
on that hand. Get it feeling good for two
40:18
weeks from now because you probably aren't playing next
40:20
week. I mean, I guess it's not as bad
40:24
as the spitting that we saw at the beginning of the year, but I
40:27
don't know what's worse. So I I think that kind of wraps
40:31
up NFL. I think the Broncos on Thursday
40:34
night. I guess we need to kind of get
40:37
into that. But how do they just keep
40:39
winning these ugly games? You're right, that game on
40:42
Thursday night. Was you've been all over Bonex
40:45
and saying that he's not for real and he was very, very bad
40:49
on Thursday. He's he's, he's not as good as
40:52
he was last year. No, he's not.
40:55
And I mean, they're still what, 8 and 2?
40:59
Seven and two. 8:00 and 2:00. And should have won the Colts
41:03
game. I mean, it to be fair, they
41:05
probably should have the best record in the NFL and they're
41:09
winning these scoring 33 unanswered points in the fourth
41:13
quarter against the Giants, Bizarre game and coming back
41:17
from a couple touchdowns down at Philly.
41:20
I don't know how they're doing it.
41:21
They they keep doing it. So good for them.
41:23
But Thursday night's football game was That's bad TV.
41:28
Brutal. We've had a lot of those on
41:30
Thursday night. They've been a little better
41:31
this year, but remember last year?
41:33
Like how bad the Thursday night games were.
41:36
Yeah. That one, that one kind of fit
41:38
the MO what it was last year. But the Icy Hot Bowl was a good
41:41
one, though. Icy Hot Bowl that was That was
41:43
my last good memory of the Cincinnati Bengals.
41:47
But that was. Been all downhill since.
41:48
That was like, we saved the season, we saved the season,
41:51
we're back and then you give up, you score 100.
41:55
Points That was a that was an entertaining Thursday, one of
41:57
the more entertaining Thursday night games we've had this year.
42:00
No, it was it was great. It was great.
42:04
And today I was really glad that I didn't have to watch
42:07
Cincinnati Bengals play football, which is just three
42:10
weeks after that. So it's November the 9th.
42:13
You know who plays in 2 days? Oh, let's see, November 9th, we
42:17
just started college basketball season, but usually these early
42:19
early season games are, you know, kind of the good teams
42:25
versus the the buy games as we would call them, right.
42:28
So probably some some was like North Carolina playing like
42:31
North Carolina A&T. Yeah, that's that's what I
42:34
wanted to talk about was North Carolina, North Carolina A&T.
42:37
Did you hear my phone drop? I just dropped my phone in the
42:39
middle of the show. I don't know if you could hear
42:43
that or not. But no, it is not North
42:45
Carolina, and North Carolina A&TAT and TI did not want to do
42:48
a full segment on that preview. The cats in the cards in the
42:53
dream game on November the 11th already.
42:58
Yeah. It's the earliest that this game
43:00
has been played since the rivalry was renewed in 1983 and
43:05
that the previous earliest game was November the 26th, and that
43:09
was in 1983. They've played as early as
43:13
December 15th, December 12th, and last year moved up to be
43:18
December 14th. They've played as late as
43:22
January 5th, but for the most part, this robbery has taken
43:25
place from around the 20th to New Year's.
43:31
So the Christmas, the New Year's window.
43:34
Yeah, Game 3. It doesn't feel right.
43:39
Like we don't know these teams yet.
43:40
And like, it would be different if this was a game in the 80s or
43:45
the 90s or the 2000s where you're primarily bringing a lot
43:49
of the same guys back. But in this era, you're learning
43:53
all these players on every team. Like all these teams have so
43:56
many new faces. And now we're getting this game
43:59
where, look, I'm excited about it.
44:01
It'll be fun, but it limits it a little bit.
44:04
The fact that it's game three to me.
44:07
Yeah, I don't. Is it maybe is it taking a
44:10
little bit of excitement? It's going to be a sell out
44:11
crowd 22,000 there on Tuesday night.
44:14
Has it taken a little bit of excitement out of the game?
44:18
You know when you have it around that, that mid to late December
44:22
at least at these family Thanksgivings, you get together
44:24
with Cousin Ed and you know, Aunt Jean.
44:28
Yeah, you sit around and you argue cats and cards and who's
44:30
going to win coming up in a few weeks.
44:32
But now you know it's it's already over by the time you you
44:35
see Aunt Gene and Cousin Ed. So who's going to throw the
44:39
mashed potatoes at one another when things get heated like it's
44:42
it's already over? No food fights over basketball
44:46
games this year because of this. It's sad, it's sad, it's sad.
44:50
I, I mean, I, I didn't love it when I found out about it.
44:53
I don't, I don't love it. Now it, I mean, yeah, it'll be
44:58
fun, but like, I I don't know enough about Kentucky to really
45:03
know what the Cards need to do to win and and vice versa
45:07
because the season's so young. And both teams, both teams have
45:10
some guys coming back off injury case and Prior for Louisville
45:14
just came back, got his first action in a year coming off the
45:16
torn ACL, had his first action against Jackson State.
45:20
Jaden Quaintance for Kentucky won't play.
45:22
He's still recovering from an ACL low.
45:25
Their point guard got hurt in practice I think a couple weeks
45:29
ago. He just came back.
45:30
So he's coming off an injury. Think he played his first couple
45:32
minutes or his first minutes in their last game.
45:36
So you know, like it's some of these guys haven't got a chance
45:39
to get fully healthy. These these rosters won't be at
45:42
full strength per SE, but they're both top top 11 teams in
45:48
the country. It's still cats and cards.
45:51
It's it's going to get heated. So it's.
45:54
It's already got heated a little bit.
45:56
That's all. Low bulletin board material.
45:59
Yeah, that's all. But that's that's what rivalries
46:02
are. So let's get it on.
46:04
You know, it's just glad, I'm just glad that both teams are in
46:08
a spot to where this game is, you know, back in the forefront
46:12
of college basketball. Because for the last, you know,
46:14
couple years with when Louisville was struggling, I
46:18
mean, there was almost a foregone conclusion of, of what
46:20
this the outcome was going to be so well.
46:23
Even last year, like nobody really gave Louisville a chance
46:25
in the game last year. No, and the cards played well,
46:28
kept it. I mean, it was a close game.
46:30
And they they had just lost Cason Briar.
46:33
Yeah, yeah. So they, they were adjusting and
46:35
the fact that they still would kind of hang around and, and
46:38
make it close. But I, I don't know who the
46:40
favorite is on Tuesday, but I would imagine it's pretty close.
46:46
Let's see. Did they they put out a line
46:48
yet? I haven't seen it, but I mean,
46:53
either team can win this game, which which makes it fun and
46:56
that hasn't been the case several times over the last
46:59
couple years. So haven't, haven't.
47:02
And look, you, I mean, I'm not every UK fan and is going to say
47:06
this, not every U of L fan is going to say this, but it's good
47:09
for the rivalry when both teams are close to the top ten, yeah.
47:12
Absolutely. I mean, that's what makes the
47:17
rivalry what it is. If they're both not right,
47:20
though, it's not going to get paid attention to nationally as
47:23
as much as it is on Tuesday when they're both, you know, like you
47:27
said, close to the top 10. So but it's before the football
47:31
game too. Like it's just all of it is just
47:33
weird. It's very weird.
47:34
It is. I mean, maybe it's a one year
47:37
thing, I don't know. Like it's all up TV and you
47:40
know, with these conferences expanding the way that they have
47:43
it, you know, you're playing more conference games, which
47:45
means conference games are starting earlier.
47:47
They're bleeding into December. So you're playing taking up a
47:51
couple of those Saturdays in December with some conference
47:53
opponents instead of what your regular non conference would be.
47:56
So I mean, it's it's early for a reason, even though we're not
48:00
used to it. We might not like it, but we'll
48:04
maybe, I don't know, maybe next year we can get back to, to, to
48:06
the normal, normal timing and people can get back to their
48:09
Thanksgiving food fights over who's going to win cats and
48:11
cards. You got to have that.
48:13
You got to have Turkey in the face, you got to be stuffing the
48:19
the Turkey in the dressing up grandpa's nose when he's when
48:22
he's, when he's cussing out the cards and vice versa.
48:26
Yeah, we have to. No, it'll be the place is going
48:31
to be popping on Tuesday and it'll be a great environment.
48:35
I mean, we'll, I guess we'll learn a lot about both teams on
48:38
Tuesday night. Yeah, I mean, beginning of the
48:42
season, we had those exhibition games, you know, Louisville
48:45
versus Kansas, Kentucky versus Purdue, and Louisville
48:48
struggled. They didn't shoot the ball well
48:49
against Kansas. And everybody kind of maybe had
48:51
a mild panic of like, uh oh, like, what's wrong with the
48:53
Cards? And the Cats go when they beat
48:55
#1 Purdue and everybody thinks Kentucky's, you know, the best
48:59
team in the nation. And then the roles got reversed
49:02
in the next one where Kentucky loses to Georgetown and, you
49:04
know, maybe their fans came back down to earth a little bit.
49:06
So it's still, like you said, it's early.
49:08
It's a lot of unknowns. I don't know what to expect on
49:11
Tuesday. I think it'll be a great game,
49:12
great atmosphere and let's go karts.
49:15
Well, we told everybody to count, cool their jets on what
49:17
they're seeing in the exhibitions, right?
49:19
Don't read too much into it one way or the other.
49:23
And that wasn't something I wanted to see on the show
49:26
tonight. Sorry, I had to had to plug in
49:28
the plug in the laptop there, yes.
49:31
Big big old butt on the screen. Wasn't wasn't really looking
49:35
forward to that one. I got my red pants on.
49:38
You should have your red. I just saw them.
49:40
Yeah, I know you have your red pants on.
49:42
So we're biased. We believe that this rivalry is
49:47
one of the best in not just college basketball.
49:50
All the. Sports.
49:51
Yes. What's your little draft?
49:54
Best rivalries in all sports? Team tall, which is not me.
49:59
Team Tall is you? Yeah, Team small is me.
50:03
Yeah. We'll we'll draft Snake.
50:05
Draft 4 rivalries each side and see who gets.
50:10
The better, the better team. All starts and all of all.
50:13
Of sports, you're taller. So I got to go 1st and we are,
50:16
are we we're including Louisville, KY in this or do we
50:18
just yes, OK, OK. All of sports.
50:23
I'm going to go start. I'm going to take the first pick
50:25
with the Yankees, Red Sox. I mean both very, very
50:29
passionate fan base bases, both a history of winning titles.
50:33
Red Sox more recently after they went into their long drought in
50:36
2004, whenever it was. I mean, Boston and New York,
50:41
they hate each other. The people hate each other, the
50:44
teams hate each other. We've seen multiple brawls on
50:47
the field. We've got Pedro Martinez
50:49
throwing down Don Zimmer, you know, like Alex Rodriguez
50:53
getting into it with whoever, with Jason Veritec.
50:56
And so I to me, I think that those that's probably the most
51:00
heated best rivalry in sports one because they're always
51:03
pretty good. Their payrolls are astronomical.
51:06
So they always have talent. They all.
51:07
You can always count on that being and.
51:08
They play 40 million times in every single game on the news
51:11
game Sunday Night Baseball. But it's the right, this is the
51:15
right answer. I think Lakers, Celtics, I'll go
51:19
that second. Even currently you still think
51:22
that that's a like even a current I mean.
51:23
We're just we're going all time robberies.
51:25
Yes, I mean that's more. Yeah, Lakers, Celtics and I
51:29
guess I got to go. Duke, North Carolina All.
51:32
Right, I'm going cats cards. I think cats cards is probably
51:36
the best rivalry in college sports and it you can say oh,
51:41
Michigan, Ohio State and and Duke Carolina, but Michigan,
51:44
Ohio State, you're you're 2 separate states.
51:47
Like a lot of times you're not mingling with each other.
51:49
Cats cards you live in next to your next the your next door
51:52
neighbor. You.
51:53
You didn't. Argue.
51:54
Well, I mean, that's why I just said Duke, North Carolina.
51:57
But they play 3 * a year in most years.
52:00
And that takes so much. They play so much, it's like,
52:03
oh, you just got us. Well, we're going to get you
52:05
back in two weeks. No cats cards.
52:08
You play one time a year and you have bragging rights for 365
52:12
days, except this year feels like it's 200 something days
52:14
because we're playing so early. But you have bragging rights for
52:17
an entire year. You play that, you look forward
52:19
to that one day, that one game. Carolina, you're playing three
52:24
times in February and March, sometimes even in like the final
52:28
four is 4 times. So cats cards, like you're
52:32
living next door. You hate your neighbor because
52:33
he's a cats fan or you hate your neighbor because he's a cards
52:35
fan. We had the that that incident in
52:37
the dialysis clinic couple years ago where two people were were
52:42
getting dialysis together when they were on opposite sides of
52:44
the rivalry and they got into a fistfight.
52:46
So like that just doesn't happen.
52:48
Like that's just not normal. This is not a normal rivalry.
52:51
This isn't a big rivalry to me for those reasons.
52:54
I think it's the best in college sports.
52:56
So I'm taking now all. Right, you got one more.
53:00
Oh, it is a snake draft. With that being said, we'll go
53:03
Michigan, Ohio State next because those two absolutely
53:05
hate each other. Ohio State refuses to to even
53:09
acknowledge the letter M in any words that they say.
53:13
They have a whole song about the state of Michigan that we don't
53:15
want to sing on here. But it they it's just a heated
53:21
router. They're always good.
53:22
Ohio State had the upper hand forever the recently and then
53:25
Michigan comes and they've won like the last four.
53:29
So so I'm going to go Michigan, Ohio State is is that pick my
53:34
third pick. OK, so can I go Ollie Frazier?
53:38
And do our listeners know much about Ollie Frazier?
53:41
I mean, but as far as rivalries like they're bothering rivalry.
53:45
It was. It was awesome.
53:47
Right. No, it was awesome.
53:50
And, and like, I think once you say the top five, which we've
53:55
done, I think it gets a little harder after that.
53:58
I mean, because there's probably some soccer robberies and some
54:02
hockey rivalries that we're not as familiar with that probably
54:05
rank up there. But with us being from the Ville
54:07
dude and and Ollie, I'm going to go Ollie Frazier.
54:10
I think it's one of the greatest sports rivalries of all time.
54:14
And like, I, I think it just gets a lot more difficult after
54:21
that. Like you start thinking in
54:23
Auburn, AL, maybe start thinking what the other rivalries in
54:29
baseball, maybe the Dodgers and the Giants, but it's not really
54:33
like we're on the other side of the coast.
54:35
Like we don't really see that one as much Cowboys and the
54:39
Giants. I just think he gets it gets
54:41
tougher after those top five. And that's why I'm going to go
54:45
Ali and Frazier. And then I mean the Cowboys like
54:51
just because they're such a legendary team, like all their
54:53
rivalries, right with with with Washington, with the Giants,
54:57
with the Eagles are are which makes it hard to pick one of
55:00
them. The Bears and the Packers, I
55:01
think for the history of the NFL maybe is.
55:07
So maybe that's what I'll go. I'll go Bears, Packers and Ollie
55:11
Fraser. OK.
55:12
But it does get tougher. I mean, but for my last pick, I
55:17
guess, since you didn't say it is going to be Auburn, AL, I
55:20
mean those they're in the same conference.
55:22
So they play every year. They in football, though,
55:25
basketball is not much of I mean, I don't know if they
55:27
really care about basketball in the down in those states in
55:29
Alabama, but we'll go Auburn versus Alabama.
55:34
You got the guy, Oh Harvey Updike, who got mad that they
55:39
put what the a Cam Newton jersey on Paul Bear Bryant's statue and
55:44
the man went absolute crazy and decided to go poison the trees,
55:48
the tumors corner in Auburn. So like when you got when you
55:52
got fan bases doing stuff like that, you know, it's a heated
55:56
rivalry and you know, Alabama's controlled that rivalry for the
56:00
most part in the last decade. So they had that one incredible
56:04
game that kicked 6 return with Chris Davis and back in 2013,
56:10
which is one of the best games of recently.
56:12
But that just shows you how important it is teams being
56:14
good. Yeah.
56:16
And not being A1 sided. Yeah, no.
56:21
Army, Navy football. We left that one out.
56:24
That's it. That's in there.
56:25
Yeah, but. I, I do, I think you, you got
56:28
your first five. I think it's pretty easy, but
56:30
then it gets a lot a little tougher after that.
56:32
Yeah, Army. Navy should definitely be on
56:34
that list. Tell me about this dude in
56:37
Florida. Oh, let's pull that out for you
56:40
here. So yes, dude in Florida raises
56:43
chickens. We find his name here.
56:46
Pull them up for you. Raises chickens.
56:49
Yeah, raises chickens. Florida man Raisin chickens is
56:51
is going to be good. Let's let's find his name here
56:54
for a second. There he is.
56:57
The title of the article. A Florida man opened fire after
57:01
a bar argument about how many eggs a chicken can lay.
57:05
So let's pull this up here. How many eggs can a chicken lay?
57:10
Is there like a limited number? The man's name is Peter Riera
57:15
RIERA 44 years old and based on his mug shot he looks like he's
57:20
65. Old looking dude. 44 year old
57:24
fired shots Tuesday morning outside of Harper's pub and
57:28
police body Cam have the footage.
57:30
He raises chickens and got into an argument with three people
57:34
outside the pub who were trying to claims were trying to con
57:37
him. I guess over a helmet.
57:39
The dispute was about how many eggs a chicken can lay.
57:44
Like we've seen some. Why does all the weird stuff
57:47
seem to happen in Florida? This is like on Florida guys.
57:51
I mean, what's going on down there?
57:52
But what are you, first of all, what are you doing with the luck
57:55
we can talk about because nobody got shot and the two guys you
57:58
did shoot at ended up being arrested by police as well for
58:00
disorderly conduct. I mean, drugs were involved in
58:02
this, they had to be, right? What you're getting into what a
58:04
bar argument over chicken eggs. And you're like, well, I think
58:10
my chicken can lay 22 eggs. And then they're like, no, your
58:14
chicken can lay 16 eggs and you're like, oh, yeah, pop, pop.
58:18
Like whoa, what is going on? Was that like a a chicken skill?
58:24
Like some chickens can lay more eggs than other chickens?
58:26
I don't know nothing about the chicken.
58:28
How are you so passionate about chickens that you that that it
58:31
escalates into this? Well, you're obviously
58:35
passionate about your life. It's your livelihood.
58:38
That's how you're making your money, those chicken eggs.
58:41
But I didn't know there was like champion chickens that could lay
58:44
more eggs than other chickens. Like is there?
58:46
Are there bad chickens that can barely lay any eggs?
58:49
Like maybe like usually, like usually you go to a bar and you
58:54
know, those are the occasional bar arguments and bar fights.
58:58
Usually it's over. You know how somebody looked at
59:00
somebody or somebody, something said to somebody.
59:02
Or you know you're hitting on some guy's girlfriend or
59:04
boyfriend and they didn't like it.
59:06
Or you're arguing like us over sports.
59:09
But chicken eggs? How does those show?
59:10
Came to be chicken eggs. Like chicken eggs.
59:14
None of that. I'm going to.
59:15
Argue about chicken eggs with you, I know that.
59:17
I don't know anything about chicken eggs, but none of the
59:19
normal bar argument stuff. It was all about chicken eggs.
59:23
So this guy's going to jail because he decided to bring a
59:26
gun to a bar fight, which should never do, and argue about
59:30
chickens? And we know this is true story,
59:31
like we're not getting punked again like we did on the
59:34
Breadstick story. No, this was reported by TMZ, so
59:37
I'm I'm going to say that it's reputable.
59:38
So I don't know, like, let's just quit shooting people,
59:42
period. Start over there.
59:44
That's step one. Leave the Leave the guns at
59:46
home, lock them up and bring your fists to the chicken fight.
59:52
And let's video like I don't, let's get some proof of how many
59:57
chickens your eggs, your chicken can lay and you just show it and
1:00:01
then you can prove your point and you ain't got to argue about
1:00:03
it. Like look, here's proof. 22
1:00:06
eggs. Like I said, no need to get the
1:00:09
gun out. Leave.
1:00:10
Leave the guns at home. Hey, let's hit.
1:00:12
Let's right now. Let's head to the barn.
1:00:14
I'll show you. Well, you can watch it 22 eggs.
1:00:18
I'll even I'll even give you a Budweiser as you're as you're
1:00:21
waiting. Sounds like a deal, yeah.
1:00:26
But yeah, I don't know. Something's in the water down in
1:00:28
Florida. So I mean, I the Bengals didn't
1:00:31
play today and when I came home from the Cards game, I didn't
1:00:34
want to watch football because the 4:00 PM games were not
1:00:37
great. No, I thought those lions,
1:00:40
because Sanders would have been all right, but that was a
1:00:42
blowout. Oh, they none of the games were
1:00:44
close. So I started watching some pro
1:00:45
pickleball #1 pro pickleball player, women's side Anna Lee
1:00:50
Waters. Anna Lee Waters, OK.
1:00:55
She's on TV again. I'll I'll probably watch it
1:00:57
again. OK, got you.
1:00:58
Got you a little crush on Anna Lee.
1:01:01
Well, look, she's only 18. She's been playing.
1:01:03
She's been a pro pickleball player since she was like 12 and
1:01:06
she's 18 years old and the number one female pickleball
1:01:10
player in the world. How many pro pickleball players
1:01:12
are there? Don't know, do you ask any
1:01:14
questions? I just I just now.
1:01:15
I mean, don't even know I enjoy pickleball like it's it's a
1:01:18
great recreational sport. Get outside, get some inner, get
1:01:21
some some exercise. You know, we, I play usually
1:01:24
three times a week on one day, Wednesday, Friday mornings.
1:01:28
So it's it's a great game, but to be that good, that young,
1:01:34
it's good for her. Yeah.
1:01:36
But yeah, if Annalee Waters is is on TV playing pickleball in
1:01:40
in the future, I might, might check it out and I might advise,
1:01:45
might advise you to check it out as well.
1:01:47
So like on your DIRECTV, when you you know you can schedule
1:01:50
recordings, can you just put in Annalee Waters and it just
1:01:53
records whenever she's playing pickleball?
1:01:56
I haven't tried that yet, but maybe something to do after I'm
1:01:59
done editing the episode. Tonight, I don't know.
1:02:01
The way YouTube TV is going right now, I might not get the
1:02:03
channel the pickle balls on. When they going to get ESPN back
1:02:07
dude? I don't know, but the bars in
1:02:09
the state of Kentucky are going to be back to the gills on
1:02:13
Tuesday night when half of the state can get ESPN to watch the
1:02:17
game. Did my login work for you
1:02:19
yesterday? Yeah, it was great.
1:02:20
Appreciate that bro. You know, I got you one of the
1:02:24
few that happened. One of the few that has stayed
1:02:27
with the DIRECTV. Yeah.
1:02:30
But are are we going to start getting is cable making a
1:02:33
comeback? Do we need to plug the cords
1:02:35
back in? We're all cutting cords.
1:02:36
Do we need to get the cords back out of the closet?
1:02:39
I don't think the cords are coming out back out of the
1:02:40
closet. I think it's pretty much done.
1:02:42
It's kind of like the newspaper industry.
1:02:45
It's there, but. It's too easy to figure it out,
1:02:49
and if you're in the NFL, the NFL is going to make them figure
1:02:52
it out because you're affecting Monday Night Football.
1:02:56
But evidently they're not budging so.
1:02:59
They're giving me a $20 credit. Yeah, but not it's like if it's
1:03:04
an extended amount of time without telling you how, how
1:03:07
long that extended amount of time is, right?
1:03:09
Or did they already kick in the $20?
1:03:11
Credit, No, I got the e-mail today.
1:03:13
They're the $20 credit goes on that you have to claim it, but
1:03:15
it goes on the next bill. I mean 20 bucks, take my 20
1:03:19
bucks and give me ESPN back. 100%.
1:03:22
Much rather have ESPN back, but this is this is one of the
1:03:25
longest ones. Yeah, I don't know.
1:03:27
It's, it's unusual. Yeah.
1:03:28
Usually they last a couple days and they figure it out, but.
1:03:31
Well, it's very unfortunate that you would not have been able to
1:03:35
watch Annalee Waters because I'm pretty sure it was on ESPN so.
1:03:40
Tough beat for depriving me of my my Pickleball Watch
1:03:43
pickleball viewing. But yeah, I recommend it.
1:03:47
Easy cowboy. It was a heck of a lot better
1:03:50
than watch the Bengals. Well, I mean, I could.
1:03:52
I could watch Bob Ross paint a picture for four hours and have
1:03:57
more enjoyment than watching the Bengals.
1:03:59
Did the talk, you know, all this AI stuff they're starting to
1:04:01
doing with Bob Ross? What does that mean?
1:04:05
They're doing like him painting stuff and it's like just funny
1:04:07
memes of him. Just I've seen that.
1:04:09
Yeah, I have seen. Hey guys, out of control all
1:04:14
these these rap songs that are being played in 50s style music.
1:04:19
Have you heard all those? I've I've heard a few, yes.
1:04:22
Like Snoop and Eminem and Doctor Dre, all these songs and they'll
1:04:25
be playing in 1950s style and they're good.
1:04:30
They're good. They are good.
1:04:32
They and it probably takes 4 seconds to create them.
1:04:35
It's, it's hey man, it's just it's going to keep getting
1:04:39
Wilder and wild. No, there's no stopping.
1:04:41
So all right, but Cats cards on Tuesday.
1:04:45
Excited for that one on November 11th.
1:04:48
Let's get this thing in early. And look, here's the thing, at
1:04:52
least you got bragging rights. If the cards win, you got
1:04:55
bragging rights. You can throw mashed potatoes at
1:04:59
grandpa who's who's a Cats fan. Instead of arguing about who's
1:05:02
going to win, you know who's going to win.
1:05:03
That's true. And you can just start off
1:05:05
dinner by throwing mashed potatoes at his face.
1:05:07
Maybe, maybe they won't. Maybe Grandpa won't.
1:05:10
Cats lose. Grandpa won't show up to the
1:05:12
Thanksgiving. No.
1:05:15
You want grandfather? Yeah, you got a grandpa.
1:05:17
You want grandfather, but all right, I got nothing else.
1:05:21
Don't stay up too late tonight watching Annalee Waters
1:05:23
pickleball highlights. It's over.
1:05:25
Makes I don't. Know, and I think I took a nap
1:05:28
during the match too. Those don't stay up too late.
1:05:31
Check it out. YouTube highlights of the
1:05:32
Annalee Waters pickleball. Get yourself some sleep tonight.
1:05:35
Oh well, Oh well, we'll, we'll get, we'll get some good rest.
1:05:37
We'll, we'll be back on Wednesday, which will be just a
1:05:41
a day after the Cats cards game, be able to break that down a
1:05:44
little bit. We'll get into, we'll do some
1:05:47
NFL rankings and hopefully we'll have some kind of crazy off the
1:05:50
wall stories to kind of breakdown and.
1:05:52
Yeah, we'll have a updated College Football Playoff
1:05:54
ranking, so hopefully this time you'll understand that you know,
1:05:58
Memphis or whoever that non power 54 qualifies into the
1:06:04
playoff because you thought Texas was in the playoff last.
1:06:07
Well, I'm not one of the smartest people, and that's
1:06:10
admitted. And also, it's now James Madison
1:06:12
who is the most likely. Yeah.
1:06:16
Non power 5 or power 4 to get in.
1:06:18
Yeah, go Dukes. All right, that's enough.
1:06:21
