• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There was a piece that.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: I wanted to refer to from the athletic Jana Bartell,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: who is one of the really good college football writers
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: in come and compiled I love compilations.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I have to show you a book.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: One of the Christmas gifts that Linda gave me is
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: at like one of these big coffee table books, and
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: the book is like seeing it and beautiful golf courses
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: from around the world. So I know, you get oh look, yeah, yeah,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I ought to show it to you. It's all this,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: but it's a compilation, and I like compilations of things
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: sometimes where you can kind of compare and read and
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: see how things progress and all this. Well, anyway, there's
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a compilation of college football's most memorable moments in twenty
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: twenty four. Now I'm going to review some of this
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: with you. Can you tell me if you agree or
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: disagree on how they place it? Okay, most memorable moments?
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Here it comes the biggest coaching news. What would you
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: say the biggest coaching news was it has to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Belichick becoming the new unc EDG coach. Well no, uh,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: it's actually Nick Saban retiring. Okay, all right, you know
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: what number two was?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: For them.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: It wasn't Belichick was actually number three. You know what
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: number two was. Number two was Charles Huff, the guy
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: at Marshall that left for Southern miss And it just
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: cratered the conference champion, the Sun Belt champion, Marshall's Bowl situation.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: They had to opt out of the bowl because of that,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So that was kind of weird.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: There's more casual fans out there that could not tell
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: who Charles Huff is, but could tell you that Belichick
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: is the next and see it goes, and that to
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: me is why that would be number two.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Yeah, like I said that in talking
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: about Saban, the departure of college football's greatest coach kick
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: started a butterfly effect that impacted thirty eight Power five schools,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: twenty five Group of Five schools, thirty four lower level organizations,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: more than a dozen high schools, and ten NFL organizations.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, that reasoning makes sense. Okay, all right, best upset,
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: M I think maybe Northern Illinois is over Notre Dame.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Ding ding ding ding ding ding.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there wasn't that many big upsets this season in
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: terms of top twenty five teams. I mean, obviously Florida
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: State to start the year. But yeah they won what
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: won two games?
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: So yeah, uh yeah, they just listed as the best
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: way Uh did you see? And I guess then it
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: turned out to be the best the best game day
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: picker for college game Day, Miss Terry No, Timothy Shallomy,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Oh you did last weekend It's said he knew more
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: about college football and we thought although his way too
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: early Heisman pick of Kevin Jennings took a hits and
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: the Mustangs lost to Penn State. They mentioned that Shane
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Gillis calling Saban Alabama Jones was.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Hilarious but shame.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: But they say Shamus the guy, the Irish guy, the
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: WWE guy for the first game of the year picked
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame to win the national championship.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: They're saying to keep an eye on that.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, where does Vanderbilt over Alabama rank among college football's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: biggest number one upsets?
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Biggest in terms ever.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: By a number one team, Because four number one teams
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: have lost to an unranked opponent and then went on
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to win the national title LSU and O seven USC
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in sixty seven Minnesota and sixty Notre Dame in forty three,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it will not be the case obviously for the Crinston
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: died and to make the playoff. So anyway, they said
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: where does it rank? They put it in there, and
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: they say it's right in there because it kind of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: helped derail the Alabama season.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Interesting, yeah, and they lost three games that year.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: This year most memorable moment runner up, they say, is
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: the Ohio State Michigan flag plan team. Okay, yeah, but
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the most memorable moment is Vanderbilt forty Alabama thirty five.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: So which would you say? Would you agree with that?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: It's up there? You know, here's the thing that's so
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: weird about that.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You know, on those SEC fan sites they ragged on
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Texas for barely beating Vanderbilt.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt beat Alabama.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: See, I think the most memorable moment was I think
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Ryan Williams hit his touchdown grabbed to beat Georgia in
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: which he's spun around to Georgia defenders. I think that
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: was more memorable because that I think that's the play
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: of the year. Okay, I'm not sure if Vanderbilt at Alabama.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's that memorable. Okay. It's funny
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: because they list is the.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Some of the storylines that they're talking looking about the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Birmingham Bowl, which has no sponsors. We know is Georgia
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Tech and Vanderbilt, and they had some of those great moments.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: They're saying that might be the best bowl game or
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: one of my best bowl games.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Tomorrow two thirty.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Las Vegas Bowl they think will be really compelling
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: USC against A and M tomorrow night. The Trojans are
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: returning to where they began their season. Remember they beat
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: LSU in Las Vegas. That was on Labor Day night,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I think Saturday. Boston College and Nebraska playing in the
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Pinstripe Bowls Huskers reaching bowl eligibility for the first time
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: since twenty sixteen to snap the longest postseason drop among
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Power four teams.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I did not realize that Pop Tart's Bowl.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: We talked about the Povey since it's everyone's favorite bowl.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: But it's got a pretty cool thing to what it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: It's Miami and Ohio and Iowa State. And then and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Linda pointed this out to me. They have a fully
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: functioning toaster on the trophy, the trophy that goes to
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: the winning team has a fully functional toaster.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Remember last year they ate the mask out. Are they
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: gonna do it again this year?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think though they didn't say that, and maybe
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: that might have drawn some blowback on that deal, even
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: though it was an actual pop dart and not the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: goofy guy in the pop dart thing that disappeared, But
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: it looked kind of creepy.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: It looked a little weird.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Alibi Bowl could be interesting b Yu and Colorado. It's
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: very interesting that it's two Big twelve teams playing each other,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: but because Colorado is viewed as a quote unquote Pac
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: twelve legacy school and the two didn't play each.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Other during the year, so that makes it okay.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Apparently the porcupine at the San Antonio Zoo picked Colorado.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, so wow, it's an unfortunately for the Cougars.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: The zoo animals have a pretty good track record of
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: picking the bowl game winner every year. So anyway, Uh so,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: there's there's a couple of other couple other interesting elements
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: that that are going into the bowl games for the Okay,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is there a specific bowl game that you have some
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: interest in that is not obviously in the playoffs a
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: CFP playoff game, it's not part of the New Year
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: six or any of that.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's just a bowl game itself.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Is there a specific bowl game that you have interested in, Say, hey,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I think I'd really like to watch that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I think, just in terms of watchability, I think Vanderbilt
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech will be a lot of fun. Love Haynes
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: King loved Diego Pavia. There'll it'll, it should be a
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: great game. And then I'm interested also in Colorado BYU
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: just because of Colorado and Travis Hunter and Dion and
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: all that, and you know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: They're They're a fun show to watch.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: You know, there's one of the most exciting college football
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: teams that's not in the playoffs. So I look forward
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: to watching that in Their guys aren't sitting out and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Taki is a fantastic head coach. On the BYU side,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: they're going to be ready to play.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I'm going to give you two other ones. I agree
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: with you on your choices there, I'm going to give
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: you two other ones. One don't snicker when I say
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: the name of the bowl until you hear a little
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: more about The matchup is the Go Bowling Military Bowl.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: It's East Carolina and North Carolina State. And when they
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: played before in the Peach Bowl, game. This is about
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: ninety two or ninety three, and East Carolina was down
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: seventeen points and they came back and won, and then
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they just kind of almost rioted on the field. All
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: this stuff and those who don't like each as you know,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: they're about an hour and a half apart from Raleigh
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: to Greenville, and there's been some bad blood when they've played.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: So now they're going to play in a bowl game.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: So there's that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: And then hey, I gotta admit I'm kind of interested
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in the Relyquest Bowl.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Let's see Alabama and Michigan.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Let's see how Alabama responds to not being included in
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the playoff. And Michigan, which kind of feels energized and
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: recharged after beating Ohio State, how they look on that.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: You know, Alabama and these were Nick Saban. Alabama coached
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: teams had come in for some criticism if they didn't
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: make the BCS National Championship Game or the playoff. It
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: been often said they kind of mailed in their bowl
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: performance and that included a major bowl. Now in the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: case of Florida State last year in the Orange Bowl,
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Florida State had a lot of guys opt out and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: injuries and they were disappointed about being in the playoff.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not excusing it. I'm just saying it was probably
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: a little more understandable. Remember when Alabama played Utah in
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: the Sugar Bowl and got throttled because they didn't really care.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: And some folks try to make that claim about Georgia
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: against Texas when they played, and Kirby Smart shut that
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: down real quick. He said, no, no, our guys cared. Yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: there were there were a few guys that didn't play,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: but it wasn't like a whole raft or rosters like
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: two dbs and a running back that didn't play. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: he said, we had enough to win and should have
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: won the game, and they didn't, got down twenty one
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: nothing and Texas ends up winning at twenty eight twenty
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: one when they're up twenty eight to seven and the
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter. But sometimes high profile college football teams can be,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: and sometimes rightly so, accused of not caring, even if
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: it's a big bowl game, a New Year's six Bowl,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: which I just find absolutely preposterous and ridiculous.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. I know this if.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Alabama doesn't do well and they get dog walked by
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Michigan in that bowl game. Everybody who's gonna do right now,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: right now is saying SMU should not have been in
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the playoff.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Alabama deserved to be in the playoff.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: If Alabama doesn't win that bowl game, there's gonna be
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: people say no, no, no, they didn't deserve to be in Look,
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: they lost to somebody else.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: They should have shouldn't have lost it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: So that's gonna come up in addition to the losses
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: to Vanderbilt and Oklahoma. But that way, Hey, whether whether
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the Vanderbilt win over Alabama was the biggest moment of
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: the year or the biggest upset of the year, or
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to say, I would think the Alabama
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: loss in Norman, Oklahoma was so much on the line
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and then in the driver's seat to be in the playoff.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That to me might be the most stunning development of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: To go in the Norman like that and play that
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: poorly and get beat soundly by Oklahoma. A team that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: was headed for a losing record. Now they're headed for
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Fort Worth in the Armed Forces Bowl because they won
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: that game. So something to keep in mind. All right,
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: We've got more coming up. Steve with us here on
