• 0:20
  Speaker 2: Mario Cristobal, head coach at the University of Miami. Thank
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: you for joining us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I just don't find any value in it. Humans, like,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just spewing diarrhea out of their mouth. With Stu Gotts.
• 0:31
  Speaker 5: I can give a rat's fat ass about what he
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: says or does.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And the Bear. The Bear is awesome.
• 0:37
  Speaker 6: You're listening to College Football with Stu Gotts and the Bear.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It is the College Football Show with Stu Gotts and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: the Bear.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to say it. And T-Bob.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: T-Bob, what's going on? You can check him out every morning.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Wake up Barstool, 8 to 10 a.m. Eastern on FS1. Um,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: you're just here. You're here all the time. I don't
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: know how you get ahold of the zoom link, but
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: you're just here.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yes. Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I'm glad that, uh, I'm glad that my schedule worked out.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: I didn't know if I was going to be able
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: to come on, but, uh, thankfully move some things around
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: everything lined up and we're here to talk about Stu.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Uh, the greatest college football Saturday of all time. Yeah. Uh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: bears team survived the hurricanes. We'll get to that in
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: just a second, but bear, uh, What a Saturday we
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: had this past Saturday for college football. In a year
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: from now, you know, a year or two from now,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: what we just saw won't matter. But it matters now,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and on Saturday, that's as good as it gets.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It was like the college football gods were looking down
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: on us and saying, you really want to screw around
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: with this regular season drama and this weekend drama? mattering
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and consequences for losing a game and giving yourself no
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: wiggle room. The rest of you really want to F
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: with this. So maybe, maybe the ink isn't dry. Maybe
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's down the road already, but look, yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row, a number one, lose to
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: an underranked team, five of the top seven lose in
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the same day for the first time, Georgia, Alabama, Texas
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: fall for the first time in a long time on
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the same day. And now you've got, Texas with two losses,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: no wiggle room for the playoff the rest of the year.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You've got Alabama, two losses, probably no wiggle room the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: rest of the year. What if Ohio State would have lost?
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And they would have picked up a second loss, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: they're without their quarterback. So it was an unbelievable day,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a dramatic day, a day full of upsets, a day
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: full of survival. It was an amazing day that started.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And if you made it through about 3 a.m. Eastern
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: for the end of that Nebraska-Oregon game, tip of the
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: cap to you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I think I'm going to take a little bit of
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the opposite approach when.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Ready to fight you.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: When what I took away from Saturday and as it
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: relates to the 2014 playoff, if anything, I think that
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Saturday strengthened the argument for a 2014 playoff. Because I
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: certainly get what you're saying. You're saying that there's still
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: some stakes left in college football. And you're not wrong,
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: because in theory... Some of the top teams that lost Saturday,
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: we could say, are out of runway, but they're still
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: not mathematically eliminated, right?
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Like, they're still alive.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: It's still not what we grew up on, where they
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: would have been completely out of the.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: National championship picture.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: And so already in a 12-team playoff era, we see
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: those kind of core tenets that we loved when we
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: were younger. We see them being diluted already, right? And
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: so I look at Saturday and I see... I see
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: that as a preview of what the 2014 playoff could
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: look like, that we don't actually know who's going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: win these games, and so there's a lot of value
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: to playing them. Like, a lot of these games could
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: have been first or second rounds in what the future
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: could look like, and ultimately, as I've sat with the
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: 2014 playoff more and more and more, I have a
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: lot of kind of inherent... distaste for it because of change, right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Because of the sport that I grew up on and
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: that I loved and how vastly different it is.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: However, in a vacuum, I don't hate it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Because we're going to get a lot of great games
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and great teams like we saw on Saturday in great environments.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: And it's going to be settled on the field, which
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: is ultimately what I want. It's not being settled by
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: a bunch of people in a committee, picking and choosing
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: who gets access, who gets to play. No, ultimately it'll
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: be settled on the field. And Mikey, I see you
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: shaking your head.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Because while I agree with you that we might get
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: a Saturday like that, Auburn is not going to win
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: anything in a college football playoff, even if they eke
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: in and they go ahead and they win one game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: They're not going to make a run and win this thing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: So I think ultimately it is going to get diluted,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: save for maybe we get a game.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: So Georgia lost to Auburn at home. Well, Auburn wouldn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: make the playoff.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: So Georgia would have had to play a better team.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: And so if Georgia can lose to an Auburn at
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: home in the regular season, you tell me they can
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: get tripped up by a better team at one point
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: in the playoff?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think what Mikey is saying, though, these teams
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: can win a game. They're not going to make deep
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: runs and find themselves playing in a national championship.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: That's all he said.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: What did Miami finish? 10-2 last year and let Duke
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: win the ACC?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: And yet they made it run all the way to
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: the championship? I don't know that I agree.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: I think we're talking about teams ranked 15 through 24,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: let's just say.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Teams like that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I think that's what we're shifting kind of the priority
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and the games that matter from the teams that have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: a legitimate chance to win the national title, the 12-team playoff,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and we're shifting it to later in the year. Instead
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: of having a game involving Texas really matter, like if
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you lose for a third time, you're out type of deal,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we're shifting it from that, the stakes that we had
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: on Saturday. You have zero wiggle room the rest of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it to now, okay, teams 13 to 24 who really
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: aren't going to do anything maybe other than win an
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: out bracket game and then lose. We're shifting it from
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Texas and... Miami and Notre Dame and whoever else mattering to, okay,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Iowa's playing Wisconsin this week and Iowa can't afford to lose,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: but Iowa needs to win. Or Arizona's playing Oklahoma State
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and the winner's going to go. I think ultimately how
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I am, I don't want to say coping, settling, but
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think how I'm going to ultimately wind up treating
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: these first round playoff games is it's football. It's going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to be on. It's kind of like the bowl games
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: right now that a lot of people love the bowl games.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: A lot of people hate the bowl games and think
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they're meaningless. I'm going to treat that first round of
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: lesser game, bottom top 25 kind of fringe games as
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Basically glorified bowl games. It's going to be on. I'll
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: have it on. I'll watch it. If you don't want
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: to watch it, that's fine. It's crazy. If you love it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: That's crazy, bear.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I know you, you are a college football artist.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: You are not going to have these games in the background.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: That is a flat.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: That's all.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: No, it's going to be on.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Fuck in and wait.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And guys, We just saw the number one team lose
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: to an unranked team at back-to-back weeks.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We've got to stop pretending that we know. Post-game win probability.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: I know, exactly. Post-game win probability. I understand these things.
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: I understand what projections say. We have to accept that
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: when you get 22, 18 to 22-year-olds on a field
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: where some are pros, some are dentists, some are radio guys,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: there's so many variables at play.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: We don't know what's going to happen.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Right. So we can act like we know who's going
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: to win, but we don't. And I'm kind of excited
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: about that prospect.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: All right, but T-Bob is coming on the heels of
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: the greatest college football Saturday of all time, where it
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: doesn't appear that there is any really dominant great team
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in college football this year, and he's saying he'd like
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: to see that kind of play out in the playoffs.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: You just made a playoff game, Bear, in T-Bob's defense,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: like the Duke's Mayo Bowl. You're just going to have
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: it on in the background because college football is on.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I want to see Manny Diaz with a big glop
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of mayo all over him, dumped on his lap after
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a big win against Arizona State or something.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: Right. Talk to me dirty there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Are you, are you, are you a Dukes? I know
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Mayo was a very, very personal subject, especially in the South,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but is Dukes, is that on the good list for you? Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know that I have a bad
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Mayo to be Frank. I even love Miracle Whip, which
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: isn't technically mango Mayo. I love the tangy zip. I
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: always have my best friend Donnell. His mom used to
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: make them with Miracle Whip and I fell in love
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: with So yeah, any type of mayo, as long as
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: it's actually mayonnaise going in the gullet.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Here's another thing that I've heard with mayo when I've
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: done it and I kind of live my life by
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it and my body kind of shows that I live
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: my life by it. For grilled cheese, you put butter
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: on the inside of the bread, cheese on top of
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the butter, and close it up, and then you put
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mayo on the outside, and you grill it with the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: mayo being grilled, and the butter melts in with the cheese,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and it's really, really, really good, and probably a reason
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: why my statin prescription went up to like 20 milligrams.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: That's it, just 20, huh? Yeah. That's a bit too far.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Mayonnaise a lot of them.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I was going to make a terrible joke. Mayonnaise a
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: lot of milligrams. Anyway, should we get into these games? Yes,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: let's get into them. Yes, greatest college football Saturday of
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: all time.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, D-Bob.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: I want to start a promo, guys. Or actually, let's
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: start here. Let's start with some meta topics and discuss this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: If I were to ask y'all, the team that got
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: upset on Saturday that should be the most worried going forward, Bear,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: who is that?
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Can I eliminate a word from that sentence? Am I
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: allowed to twist it into something that I'd like to say?
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was a team that lost. I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think it was a team that won. I think it's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. Really? If they don't have Julian Sane, they're done.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: It is a completely different team. Jeremiah Smith is a
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: completely different player. Even with Sane, they've been a little
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: bit sporadic at times on offense, and he hasn't necessarily
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: been the guy that he was last year. I think
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the guy maybe they thought that a lot of people
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: thought he was going to be. But if they have
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to go to a freshman– that offense is going to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: suffer dramatically. I don't know for sure how long he's
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: going to be out. I think it's going to be
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: longer than maybe people think or maybe than it's being
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: let on. This is a major impact type loss that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: affects a national title contender. So I think they won.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Now they won the game in Bloomington on Saturday, so
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: they survived, and you'd much rather have one loss than
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: two moving forward. But without saying anything, There's going to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: be another loss, I think, that finds them. Despite the fact,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: an unbelievable number here with Ohio State, how much they
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: have to rely on their defense now. You go back
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: since the start of 2023, 48 straight opponents they have
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: held below their opponent's scoring average on the year. So
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: it has been a ridiculously good defense that now is
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: going to probably have to do even more work to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: keep the Buckeyes in national title consideration.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Guys, I did a blame pie here on whose fault
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: it was for that final play for Indiana. And I
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: have Josh Hoover at 99% and Nick Marsh at 1%.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, he let him out of bounds. He was
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: wide open.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yep. Threw it the only place he couldn't.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: Put it on the ball, someone. Did Hoover throw it
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: the only place he couldn't? I mean, we'd have to
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: go back and look at when he released the ball, right?
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Because that is a pure kind of timing thing.
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: Sort of fade route.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: I feel like when he threw the ball was at
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: the point when Marsh was making his move.
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: And so I don't know.
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: I'd love to see when Hoover released it, was there
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: as much separation as we think there are in our
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: heads with the benefit of hindsight? I can't give majority
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: of blame to Hoover there. I think he dropped it
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: in the bucket. I think Marsh has got to be
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: more aware. I think it's a wonderful narrative and version
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: of Indiana surviving Penn State last year, where Omar Cooper Jr.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: barely manages to get his feet inbounds by an inch.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: They win that game. Well, it's a game of inches.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: This time the inches are not on their side, even
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: though three inches is a lot. To be painfully clear
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: about that, it's a lot of wiggle room. Marsh should
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: have been more aware.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that missed field goal, the 32-yard field goal,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: all we've talked about is Indiana making every single high
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: leverage play and every third or fourth down or special
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: teams play that they've needed the last couple of years
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: have gone their way. That missed 32-yard field goal, is
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that kind of the moment maybe where it all changed?
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Because the rest of the game, it felt like every
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: single play the rest of the game that they needed
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: didn't go their way.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's in there.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Signetti lining up for a 55-yarder as well, not knowing
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: he didn't have the leg.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: They knew they were in a.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Fight, and they were pressing and trying to find points
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: wherever they could. I think the saying point is well made, Bear.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: The only thing is, like, Ohio State's problems existed with saying. So,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: because they're just so Jeremiah Smith dependent. And what I
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: can't figure out is, does that make it easier or
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: harder on the new quarterback? Because everything in this offense
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: is just throw the ball to Jeremiah Smith. And in theory,
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: maybe a younger guy could get in and accomplish that
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: to an okay level, but only time will tell going forward. Stu,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: if I were to pose you the same question, the
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: upset team that you'd be most worried going forward, where
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: are you at?
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I would say Alabama. They look soft again. I mean,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: they have two losses. They can't lose another one. They
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: have LSU at LSU, I believe, later on. They play Auburn,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: who just upset Georgia. I would say I would be
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: most concerned about Alabama just at the way Tennessee manhandled
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: that team, was physical with that team, and Alabama appeared soft.
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's a solid answer. Again, a terrible spot
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: for Bama going in. But Josh Heupel, like imagine if
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: Heupel had like a Hendon Hooker type quarterback. And the
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: deepest of ironies, if he could figure out that position again,
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: like they are winning with a top five in the
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: country defense, running the ball really great. Quarterback leaves a
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: lot to be desired. Speaking of, my answer would be Texas.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: And this kind of reinforces the parity point because– I'm
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: about to kind of bash Texas.
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: And Texas beat Ohio State.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: And they won on the road in Neyland.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: So they beat two of the teams that were glazing.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Yet I'm most worried about Texas because Arch looks broken, guys.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: That is a Florida defense that was dead last in
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the SEC in terms of pass defense. If there was
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: ever a get-right game through the air, it was supposed
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: to be that Florida team. And I think this changed
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: following maybe the last couple of drives. But about halfway
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: through that fourth quarter, they put up a graphic. Texas
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: had negative air yards per attempt. They were throwing the ball.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: That means everything was screens, quick hitters, don't make him think,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: get the ball out of his hands. It's a sign
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: of a quarterback that is going into a complete crisis
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: of confidence. And when you rewatch the game, there are
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: open receivers that But Arch is sped up. He's panicking.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: He's not seeing it. He's holding onto the ball. And
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: for the second game in a row, he's turned it
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: over to a very high leverage spot that is undeniably
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: and unequivocally led to a loss. And I've been a
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: major Texas and Arch defender. But when you look at
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: the rest of their schedule, Colin Simmons announced today out
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: with a high ankle sprain for about a month, potentially.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: There's just no way that Texas survives this schedule.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: No, there's definitely another loss. coming on their schedule, and
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: good luck trying to contain Trinidad Chambliss without Simmons. So
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: on the flip, is there a team out there from
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: this weekend that maybe a little bit of a hiccup
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: or whatever else? Which team is just fine, Stugatz?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I would say Notre Dame. Even losing to BYU and
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: they were robbed. I don't like Notre Dame. I root
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: for Notre Dame to lose most of the time, but
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: they were robbed in that game.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: They were absolutely robbed.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And so I would say Notre Dame, I know they
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: have to play Miami still. Miami didn't look as good
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: as we thought they were against Florida State. Florida State
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: probably should have won that football game. So I would
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: say Notre Dame, even while losing to BYU, to me
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: seems like a team that's good because they could still
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: lose one more bear. And if they do lose one more,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: they're still going to make it to that playoff. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I would say Notre Dame, bad loss on the road.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Strange things happen in Provo, especially at night. It happened
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to Notre Dame, and I think Notre Dame's going to
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: be fine. And I think the committee, if the committee
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: is doing their job, They will factor in the referees.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: And that call at the end of that game because
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: it was atrocious.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Yes. Oh my God.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: Oh my God.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Let's not let the actual football decide who wins football. Rob,
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Rob Peter to pay Joseph Smith and the Mormons were due.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Get out of here, Rob.
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: How about, how about you win the game on one
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: of the 18,000 plays you had before that 10th of
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: a second, right?
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: I suppose that was left on the clock. I know.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: No, everybody out here trying to carry the Irish football.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Take away what Kalani Satake and BYU did.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Pass interference.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: If you're complaining about pass interference, you are what's wrong
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: with football right now.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: So I'm what's wrong with college.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Football right now. You're the throw the flag guy. Alabama
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: got robbed a couple of weeks ago.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: You sat there and cheered when they called holding on
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Florida State. You said, yep, absolutely, under the current rules.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: You can't rip a down guy like that. That's a
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: great call. You got to call it.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: He had his arm around him, and you saw the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: jersey get stretched. It was clearly a hold.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: No, the answer's Georgia, though. The answer's Georgia. Because, like,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: Georgia's been perfect all year long. Gunnar Stockton's been perfect
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: all year long. They race out of that 14-0 lead,
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and they just got lackadaisical. You know, they think, okay,
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: we're the best.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: We got to say we're good. We're good. And then
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: you have a couple insane catches.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: You know, some untimely turnovers. Like, if I look at
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: Gunnar Stockton's body of work, the mistakes that led to
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: that loss. are not representative of who he has been
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: in a much larger sample size. So I think Georgia,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: even in the SEC, even with a tough schedule, I
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: think Georgia will be fine overcoming this Auburn loss. I
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: think it teaches them a pretty harsh lesson very directly
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: going forward.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: What about you, Bear? I think you're both right. I
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: had a hard time deciding between both of those two teams.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I would lean more towards Georgia, I think, as well.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: 3-0.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Turnovers. I am not convinced that after getting dinged, I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: guess would be the appropriate word for a concussion, where
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: you don't want to say concussion, early in the game.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I think Stockton did not play that game with a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: clear head. I think it showed with the turnovers. I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: think Kirby... has now some, some teaching moments to be
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: able to instill during the, the idle week as well.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: So I think it's Georgia circling back to Notre Dame.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I had, you guys brought up the conversation. If they
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: lose to Miami and they are 10 and two, and
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: they lose to Miami and you lose to be white
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: by you, the two best teams you play on your
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: schedule and you've gotten no great wins. I, There is
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: going to be a loud conversation from the anti-Notre Dame
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: crowd like Stugatz that doesn't want them in the playoff
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: at 10-2 with those two losses. This could be a
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: very interesting case study to see if the Irish would
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: remain in that top 12 if they do lose to
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Miami and South Bend.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame would still get in with two losses, guys,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: just because the committee wants Notre Dame. They know Notre
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Dame being in. There's money involved. There's exposure involved. It's
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: good for the college football playoff, whether you like Notre
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Dame or not. I do find it interesting because I
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: was looking at the schedules, what Bear said earlier about
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Indiana and Ohio State. Just looking at their schedules moving
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: forward and knowing that Sayan is out at quarterback, I
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: would say, Bear, I'm actually with you on this, that
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Indiana has a better chance, even though they lost to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, they have a better chance of making the
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: playoff based on the schedule and their quarterbacks healthy than
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Ohio State does. I think that's interesting, yes.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and their front seven, too, man. I mean, the
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: element of that game I was most... guilty of disrespecting
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: was brian haynes and kirk told us kirk told us
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: when we talked to him to watch out for brian
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: haynes and what he was going to cook up in
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: that indiana front seven because he stopped ohio state from
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: running the ball and it's the only team i've seen
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: really commit to shutting down jeremiah smith and granted he
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: still had his moment on fourth and one because he's
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: jeremiah smith but like taking him away for 99 of
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: the game and forcing them to try to find answers elsewhere.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: And Kirk was also talking to us about BYU and
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame and what a night for Bachmeier and for Glasgow.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I went down a rabbit hole on Sunday, and it
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: was a rabbit hole that I did not expect to
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: go down. But someone who is close-ish to the Notre
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Dame program, not like within the walls, not like Joe Phan,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: but someone who is pretty familiar with the program, and
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: they texted me on Sunday saying, And said, oh, well,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: another game that– big game that Marcus lost and Notre
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Dame lost. And it got going about– they were talking about,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I wonder what the Notre Dame strength of schedule is
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: since Marcus took over because there really aren't a lot
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: of big wins. So I was like, okay, now I'm
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: going to have to go here. And while my pork
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: roast is in the oven and going and the Jets
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: are getting backdoor covers by– against the Patriots. Let me
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: look at this. I went back and looked. This was
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: not like my idea to do it, so don't hate
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: me for bringing up facts. If you go back to
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the start of last year, Notre Dame's 16 wins have
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: come against teams that are a combined 32-78 against Power
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: 4 teams. So you take away the 16 games against
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and it's 32-62, which is still terrible. you
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: look at, obviously, the playoff run that Notre Dame had. Fantastic.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You beat Indiana at home. You beat Georgia after the
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: foiled terrorist attack. Yeah. And Kirby's dad dies, and then
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: you beat Penn State and James Franklin. You go to
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: the tie game. But assuming BYU does finish the year ranked,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman will be 5-8 in the regular season. against
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: teams that wound up finishing the year ranked. And two
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: of those wins came against service academies. So the point is,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: my friend's suspicion, there really weren't a whole lot of
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: big wins in the regular season, if any, for Marcus
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Raymond and Notre Dame. They brought this up because of
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the whole, it's what we do, these big games. Yeah,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: playoff run was fantastic. Get to the dollar game, great.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: But that game against Miami on November 7th, there's going
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: to be a ton of pressure on the Irish.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: But they beat Belichick, and that Carolina win keeps getting
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: better and better.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: By the way, spooky for Miami on Halloween night beneath
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the pines there at Kenan. I know Taylor's going to
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: get dressed up and put his LT jersey on.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Listen, Taylor is all fired up. He loves Belichick again.
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: He loves the Tar Heels again. I was making the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: point just looking at the college football slate for that weekend.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: that college game day might be headed there to Chapel
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Hill for Miami, North.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Carolina on Halloween.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: They are. What else do we have on?
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Florida, Georgia. Yes. And is that day. Right.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: And then there's USC and Ohio, Ohio state at USC.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are two ranked ranks. They're going to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: go to Carolina.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Not ranked. Yes.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. I mean, they're going to go to Carolina.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: There would know. Thank you.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: But Mikey, you got to remember if you. If you're
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: a busty individual, a buxom individual, Halloween is your day.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: It is your time to shine.
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: If you're ever going to put Bill back on the
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: big stage, he's got to have him pushed up on display,
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: cleavage rocking on game day.
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: Can't wait.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: And also in the Notre Dame front pair, we don't
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: have to worry about any of this because thankfully our
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: overlords went ahead and wrote it into the rules that
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: they're going to get in the playoff. Like it's like,
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: cause everybody else is going to catch more losses as
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: this year goes on and guaranteed to get in. Yes.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: Let's take a quick break.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: When we get back, let's dive into some more of
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: the games we haven't talked about yet right here on
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: the college football show with two guts in the bear.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: Welcome back to College Football Show with Sue Gotts and
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: the Bear. Yeah, again, this Saturday, it's overstuffed. There's way
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: too many stuff to get to. And so a game
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: between two massive brands that normally would have been a
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: big deal.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: However.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Is so impressive in its mediocrity that I almost watched
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: in a masochistic fashion fashion uh Penn State Michigan just
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: an absolute terrible mid-off a hyper boring game but the
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: news is Bryce Underwood benched Tommy Carr comes in Michigan
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: scores three second half touchdowns And they're saying Tommy Heisman, Bear,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: just ignore the fact that Tommy Carr only threw seven
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: passes in the second half.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: And we've seen this a couple of instances already this year.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Everyone loves the backup quarterback. Backup quarterback gets thrown into
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: game action, doesn't get a chance to think, doesn't prep
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: all week, and he's great in that half or second
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: half or whenever he gets thrown in on the spur
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: of the moment. But you get a week to kind
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: of opponent gets a week to break down film on him.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You get a week to prep and be ready as
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: the starter. Things don't always go the way that they
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: go when you kind of just impulsively get thrown into
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: the thick of things. And I am sure that Brian
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Haynes and that Indiana defense will have a lot of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: things to look at for Tommy Carr and Michigan. I'm curious.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. Where will Will Arch Manning
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: and Bryce Underwood be next year? Because clearly, I don't
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be at either of the two
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: schools that they're going to be at now.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: The B in Bryce Underwood stands for benched. And I
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: do think I love that question.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: Because I want to give you guys three options quickly
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: on Arch, and we'll get back to this. Arch Manning
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: next year. Drafted in the first round. Stays at Texas.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: Transfers to another school. What are you going with?
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: Transfers to another school.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: I was leaning stay at Texas, but then you saw
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: news today and they're, they're making a point of this,
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: that they're giving the backup quarterback or one rep.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: So it feels like it may.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: And, and now Sark's starting to get shit on because
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: rightfully so we're all asking, well, why aren't these guys
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: developing under you? So, yeah, I, I think Arch's future
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: probably lies elsewhere.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I wonder if, we, we, we all know that if
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: he does declare for the draft, he's going to get
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: taken in the first round. Right.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Do we?
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: So, so he still will.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, I, I'm a believer long-term in him bear, but,
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: but you, you use, is that still what they're saying
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: in like draft expert circles?
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I think, I think, well, doesn't the NFL, like they
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: draft on traits and such.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: He's still, he's still gonna check all those boxes. Like
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I think he, I think if he, Why not?– I
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: don't know what Tulane has on their quarterback depth chart
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: right now. Go home. Go to New Orleans. Go play
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: for Tulane. Hometown, you'll be a hero. There'll be much
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: less pressure on you. You'll be around familiar locale where
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you grew up. Go put up good numbers at Tulane,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: and then you know what? go on from there, kind
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of feel good about yourself.
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: He, he, he should actually, you're right. I don't hate
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: that idea.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Only maybe a different school in Louisiana go to LSU.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Well, how about Tennessee? How about Mississippi? How about any
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: of those schools? I mean, I mean, I got to
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: be honest with you. A Manning is not going to
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: be caught dead at Tulane university.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Okay. It just, it's not happening. Okay.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: He's not going to play there, and if he did
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: play there, the family would not go and support him.
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Do we think he could play at Tennessee or LSU?
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I do.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I definitely do. I think you mentioned traits, Bear. And
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: if the NFL is willing to take shots at a
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: trait off its mind, like Lane Kiffin, he's definitely.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: Going to think I could make the, you know, I could,
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: I could get this guy.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: And I think Hypo would probably think the same thing.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: And critically an advantage over the high school quarterback is
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: he has experience like for whatever it's worth. Arch has
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: been in every single fire that you can be in
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: operated under the most pressure. So he should be calloused
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: to the stage quite a bit. How about the, you,
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: I got to, I can't see that. Yeah, well, I mean,
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: you can if you really want to see it, Bear.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: I think you've got to play better for the U
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: to want to give you $ 6 million to.
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: Be the quarterback for a year.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Like, he's not good enough for the U right now.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: But we still have him going in the first round
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: of the draft. It's crazy.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of terrible quarterbacks that have gone
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in the first round of the draft. I'm aware. I know.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Right, who don't have the last name Manning. Yes, correct.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Fourth overall.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Yes. Speaking of that, and speaking of that and speaking
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: of the U, and I know this is a college show,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: but is Cam Ward kind of getting, eking into that
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Jamarcus Russell territory?
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: He's getting there.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: He lives on the corner of 3rd and Long. Yep.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: And it pains me to say.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: We were talking about Mannings, and then we mentioned Tommy Carr.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Maybe this is a poll question, Stu. Underrated seed, Lloyd Carr.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Because I've always harbored a dream of studying Archie Manning.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Because I can't imagine the price that you could charge
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: for that sperm.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: But, like, look at Lloyd.
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: He's got CJ over there at Notre Dame kicking ass.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: Now Tommy's leading Michigan. Old man Lloyd's got something in him, too, dude.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Just think about it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Soul food for thought.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: I will, but just to be clear.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: What was the poll question? Oh, underrated seed, yes or no.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Lloyd Carr.
• 32:39
  Speaker 5: Lloyd Carr, underrated seed, yes or.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: No.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: You can go to the sperm bank and just freeze it,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and they can go there and be like, oh, yeah,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: I want... I like some Lloyd Carr, please. Yes.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Just going back to Michigan-Penn State for a second here.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I am telling you, if that game, if they played
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: it in black and white, I could have been convinced
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: it's the first time those two teams have played each other.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: And all I thought about, T-Bob is cracking up there.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: All I thought about during that game, Utah 6-0. Like
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham, what are you doing? What are you thinking?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Why leave easy for difficult when you had it easy
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: at Utah?
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: They're 6-0.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: He'd be the toast of the town again, and now
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: he's getting crushed at Michigan. I know they win the game,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: but that was a terrible win, and they've been dreadful
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: all season.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: And well, the only thing that we got to remember though, is,
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: is Utah forced him out. Morgan Scali, the defensive coordinator,
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: he's been the coach in waiting.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: For a long time.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: And, and you, you know, familiarity breeds contempt.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: And Utah had decided that it was time for change.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: And so Whittingham kind of ends up at Michigan and
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: we all laud it, but yeah, I guess there was
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: a reason. Well, they wanted him out there in the
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: first place. And remember, Beck's the highest paid office coordinator
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: in the country.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Well, the reason is they can go 6-0 with any
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: coach at Utah. I guess that's the reason, right?
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: By the way.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: That was a tricky game, by the way, on Saturday night.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Colorado came back and made that a game. Yes. That
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: was very surprising. Why not? That's a really.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Of all the surprising things, that's the thing that got you, huh, Colorado?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was it. Lay in there after feeling nothing
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: after Miami's overtime win against Florida State. Feeling nothing watching
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: the boss come out in the second half and make
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: that a game. That was my... biggest takeaway from Saturday night. No, no.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to lie. Once that BYU
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame game ended and Miami, Florida state, I had
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: to have a little late night sick.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: Like I was done.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: I was exhausted. I couldn't handle anymore. And then I
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: wake up to learn that in classic Nebraska fashion. They
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: just had their nuts stumped all over once again. I mean, Nebraska.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Nebraska.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: Oregon.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Dylan Raiola, who got benched, was absolutely terrible, comes off
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: the bench to beat his old team just because it's
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Nebraska and they cannot have anything nice in life. You
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: know a team that looks like they may have something
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: pretty nice?
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: That's Ole Miss.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Yes. They got something nice.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: It was a big-time matchup this weekend. They win 31-3.
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: But as much as we talk about offense with Ole Miss–
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: The scary thing here is Will Echols and that Ole
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: Miss front seven. Like, if Ole Miss has a defense bear,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: do they become championship good?
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: Fringe, I think. I mean, I think, again, with health,
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: with like Lacey, can Lacey stay healthy throughout the course
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of the year? We saw last year they were very,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: very close to getting there. I wonder, again, like that
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: seemed like a pretty good spot for Ole Miss getting
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Missouri off of those wins and kind of talk of
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: the town, getting ranked just how they did. Now you're
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: going on the road. Missouri took a ton of money
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: last week, and Ole Miss just kind of came out
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: and kind of showed Austin Simmons. I think that was
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: one of those spots where they wanted to have their
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: guys back and make Austin Simmons look bad. So we'll
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: see if they can– look, I don't know what the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: hell is going to happen in Austin this week, because
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I sure as hell couldn't bet on Texas. They look
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: completely broken, but Texas is a slight favorite. We've seen
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: every Texas game involving a power for a team so
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: far this year, it's been decided by a field goal
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: or fewer. So it would not be a shock if
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss went in there and won.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, no Colin Simmons going into that game and
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: you got to shut down, like you said, uh, Kiwan Lacey, uh,
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: Trinidad Chambliss.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: I always get the Robinson confused. It doesn't matter.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss, if they have a defense, potentially very good.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Also potentially very good, the Kentucky Wildcats. They go on
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: the road to Norman. They win 21-13. They are now
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: tied atop the SEC standings with Georgia. Kentucky continues to
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: come through, Stu.
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: Big Blue.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, the defense surprised me. But just going back to
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: what you guys were talking about, with the SEC. Florida
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: blew out Ole Miss. Missouri blew out Florida. Ole Miss
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: blew out Missouri. I have no idea what the hell
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: is going on. I don't know what's real and what's
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: not in college football. This is the craziest season. Let
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: me just say that again. Florida blew out Ole Miss.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Missouri blew out Florida. Ole Miss blew out Missouri.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: What the hell?
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: We're getting major 1990, major 2007 vibes.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Nothing's real.
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: Again, it's kind of in keeping with a lot of
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: themes that we constantly talk about with this sport. There
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: has been a flattening of talent. And it's leading to
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: more and more unexpected results, which Maybe in the future
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: it could be kind of exciting in a tournament-type setting.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Not for all the time. We'll tell, won't it, boys?
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: All right, coming up next, let's close out the show
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: with a final couple of games here on the College
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Football Show with Sue Gotts and the Bear. All right,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: welcome back to the College Football Show with Sue Gatz
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: and the Bear. So we talk a lot of Power 4.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: We talk a lot about the Big 2. And just
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: like we all knew it would be, halfway through the season,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: you look at the SEC, you look at the Big 10,
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: there is one lone undefeated team remaining, and it's Bob
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Chesney and the UCLA Bruins.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: How about it? Not only are they undefeated, guys, but
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: this is where it gets crazy to me. It's the
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: manner in which they are.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: I understand... If you're a Cignetti.
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: You're a quarterback whisperer, you come in, you get that
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: position to play well, you can win games immediately. Bob
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Chesney is winning the games with defense and running the ball.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Those should be expensive. Those are like culture-based traits that
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: should take years to build up there, and yet here
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: in year number one, Chesney has a team that was
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: god-awful that is now a minus-odds favorite to make the
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: college football playoff.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: It doesn't feel real. I know it sounds terrible to say,
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: but Wisconsin was so bad on offense. Oregon isn't what
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: we thought they were. I wish I were more positive
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: and more optimistic moving forward.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: It seems like you're in pain.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I am in pain. They are a perfect example of
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: these conferences being so big where you get the benefit.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: This is like Indiana in 2024. Didn't play anybody good
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: other than Ohio State. They got embarrassed in the regular season,
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: made the playoff at 11-1, and then got not competitive
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. It's kind of the same thing. Oregon
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: was supposed to be good, but they weren't on that day.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and with the injuries that they had and they go
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: to the rain to the schedule, like they got to see,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: they could still lose to anybody. Like, like they got
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: to go. I think that Minnesota may be on the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: road is a game that they potentially could lose. Like
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: they could still lose to anyone because there's such a
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: slim margin for error with, with that philosophy, with that
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: roadmap of run the ball with night special teams, field position,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: inexperienced type quarterback, like, It's a great story, and he
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: is clearly Coach of the Year right now for what
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: he's been able to do at UCLA. I mean, I
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: shouldn't say clearly. I think you can make a good
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: case for Sataki. You can make a good case for
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Will Stein. But good job by him, and I'm sure
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of people in State College, Pennsylvania
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: right now wishing that he were their head coach as
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: opposed to Matt Campbell.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I hear you questioning Bob Chesney. I'm telling you right now, Bear,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: the only question about Bob Chesney is where they're going
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: to place the statue.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: I mean, seriously.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Right next to Wooden.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I thought Stu was going to say the only question
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: about Bob Chesney is where he's going to coach next.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: Because when you want to talk about a primetime poach candidate,
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: every single desperate traditional power in the country is going
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: to make him say no to the Brinks truck.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: What happens, going back to what we were talking about before,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: if shit doesn't get turned around in Texas and it
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: continues to go sideways? Like, if you're Bob Chesney... Like,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: do you really want to go to Texas? Yes. You
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: got no pressure at all at UCLA.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: You could just hold them hostage for whatever. You make
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: the college football playoff this year. Maybe you're a Big
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Ten championship game champs for eternity after this year. Is
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: it worth it? Going to Texas and dealing with all
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: of that, or maybe Texas, maybe they call up Will Stein,
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: the young, brash, big ball play caller. Maybe you bring
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: him in. Those potentially could be a couple of guys.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: But if I'm Chesney, man, you just said build the statue.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: He's a made man at UCLA with no pressure forever.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: if they meet the college football playoff this year.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Listen, as a guy who just said Kyle Whittingham should
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: have stayed in Utah and not gone to Michigan because
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: of the pressure, I am telling you right now, you
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: go to Texas.
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: You're Bob Chesney.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: You're young.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: You're handsome. You're trying to grow. You're trying to step
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: up that ladder. Kyle Whittingham was at the end of
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: his career and is at the end of his career.
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: This is different for Chesney. He's just getting started.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: If Texas is available and they want Chesney, Chesney's going
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: to Texas.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I'm telling you that right now.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: It's hard to say no. I mean, the uniforms look
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: so good. To be honest, the all-white suit, the burnt orange.
• 43:11
  Speaker 4: Terribly good-looking fan base, too, as much as I hate
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: to admit it because I hate Texas and always will.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: But sheesh, the Cotton Bowl sights and sounds.
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty certain UCLA has the same. I'm just saying, yes.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Very, very underrated. Yes. Yes.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: I want to know. I don't see anybody in the stadium.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: Well, maybe not the stadium, but the song girls get
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of pipe and publicity and rightly so. UCLA.
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: Ain't taking a backseat to anybody in that standpoint to you, Bob.
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: You're educating me here, Bear. I don't think I was
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: aware of UCLA. Maybe he should stay.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Chesney, he's a made man.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: As we wrap up here, boys, I want to wrap
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: all the way back around because I don't think I've
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: given credit to the people that I want to give
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: credit most to, and that's Kalani Satake and this BYU team. Okay,
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: because when we talked– to Kirk about this game. The
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: main question I had was how big is the talent
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: gap actually, right? And it was a great answer. And yes,
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: on paper, it appears large and like, yes, this Notre
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Dame roster will have more guys drafted and the BYU will,
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: though they have NFL players too.
• 44:26
  Speaker 5: But what I saw Saturday was not fluky.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Like if you look at the pressure, like the entire
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: defensive game plan around BYU was predicated on them being
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: able to play man. So they could add guys to
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: the rush. They could get aggressive. They could mix up coverages,
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: give them different looks. They could fire down a run
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: support to stop explosive runs. And if you want to
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: talk about the single biggest skill check on a football.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: Field, Can you play man, and can you hang in
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: the trenches?
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: And BYU passed both of those tests with flying colors.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: So let's be clear.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: This is a legitimate BYU team. You're going to bitch
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: about them being number one, two, whatever. Like, oh, my God,
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: why are they that? Because they've won. That's how the
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: AP poll works, okay? It's not a power rating system.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: But the bottom line is BYU belongs. And they earned
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: that win and shout out coach Satake for basically saying,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: this is the biggest games we've had in years here.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: I'm going to let it all hang out.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: And he did that and he got the win and
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: it was pure college football magic.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: That is the best thing that I could say about
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Kalani Satake is you're going into the game where we're
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: fake punt going for it. All of that didn't, didn't
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: play tight, played loose. Like, And the players fed off
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: of that, off of that confidence. And it was great.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: It was an unbelievable night. I did not think they
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: had the offensive ability in them and they did. Uh,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Glasgow is really good. I want to know maybe, maybe
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: at some point we can get bear Bachmeier on and
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: ask him, well, what, uh, what did Notre Dame do
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: to disrespect him so much? Did they not like die
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: naked with him and his family on the, uh, recruiting?
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Was that what it was? The, The sight of clothing
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: at dinner? Was that the issue?
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: You know, they wore pants.
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: Can't wear pants.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Who wouldn't sign up for Marcus Freeman being naked at
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: your dinner table?
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, true.
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: In all honesty, Bear, I did hear that they had
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: offered him, and then they pulled his scholarship for either, like,
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: Minchie or Carr. I can't remember what the timing was,
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: but basically they said, thanks. They pulled the cow herd. Bear,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: we're good. we have car or we have Minchie.
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: BYU seems to me, correct me if I'm wrong guys,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: just based on the schedule moving forward, they got their
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: big win. They can afford a loss here. They have
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: two road games remaining on their schedule.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: One is at Utah.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Even if they lose that game, it seems to me
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: like BYU has the clearest.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Path right now to the college football playoff. Like they're
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: almost a lock, right?
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: So, well, I wouldn't say lock just because you never
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. Like, The game at Utah
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: could be tough. We talked about that SEC circle of
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: death in all those games. They go to UCF this week,
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: and they are a six-and-a-half-point favorite. So it is clearly
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: known that that is a trap game, that is a
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: tough spot, and you've got to be able to handle
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: adversity and handle everybody patting you on the back now
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: that you're number two. But if they were to win
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: this week, I will say yes, that they are a,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: a college football playoff lock. You win this week, you
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: lose to Utah. There's maybe no guarantee you're in the
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: big patrol championship game, but I think more, more likely
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: than not guys, the discussion as to, will the big
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: 12 get three teams in the playoff now? Cause we were,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: I was talking last week about not had a marquee
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: win like last 15 years. The current membership was like
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: six and 20 against non-conference top 10 teams. And since 2024,
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: it was one in five and they went out and
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: they got the win. And now you've got Utah undefeated,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech undefeated, BYU undefeated. Houston could still make a
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: run with one loss to the Big 12 championship game.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: There's a really good chance that the Big 12 is
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: not only looking at two teams, but three teams in
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the playoff. That's how big that game was for not
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: only BYU, but the conference as a whole on Saturday.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Well, and I think unfortunately for BYU, Stu, too, is
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: like last year, they were one of the few teams
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: that we've seen in this era where, They got dinged
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: for playing in a conference championship.
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Right. Yes.
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: We're like, they, they, they lost that second matchup to
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: Texas tech. They didn't have the signature win. And so
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: we all said, okay, BYU, yes, you went 11 and one,
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: but you're not good enough.
• 48:50
  Speaker 5: To be in here.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: And so I think the Notre Dame win probably changes
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: that calculus, but I don't know that it's a guarantee necessarily.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: But Bear's absolutely right. Going to UCF this weekend, that's
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: a test because one of the themes of this college
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: football season has been the letdown spot. Yes. You mentioned
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: that circle of parody or mediocrity, whatever you want to
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: call it. A lot of those games are tied into
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: the situation of the season and the context of the schedule.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: And so if BYU could pass this, test then credit
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: to Satake and company for being able to lock in
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: and they'll probably look like a team that can finish
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: the fight especially if you got Bear back there the
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the he pulled the Taysom Hill triple boys Threw one,
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: ran for two, caught another. Only Mormons can do it.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Bear following in those lauded footsteps.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: The BYU unis are so classic. It's a great blue,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: just a simple logo. The field, that Y is just
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: like 30-yard line to 30-yard line. It's amazing. I wanted
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: to ask you one thing, and I know we're kind
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: of spinning it ahead now. I love LSU and Auburn.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: because you never know what the hell is going to happen.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: Is a barn going to catch on fire? Is an
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: earthquake going to happen? Is Les Miles going to forget
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: about how much time is left and eat grass on
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: the sideline? I want T Bob's favorite memory from his
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: time within the LSU Auburn rivalry.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: It's, I mean, dude, there's, there's been so many, both
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: as a fan, as a player, as a player, freshman year.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, seven.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: That's the Demetrius Bird. Coach Miles calls a fade shot
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: with like four seconds left in the game. I think
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: Bird catches it maybe with one in the back of
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: the end zone. An absolutely insane call, but.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: We needed a field goal to tie it.
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I remember getting on the television broadcast because I
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: made sure to find Glenn Dorsey and give him a
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: hug after the game. But my actual favorite memory is
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: a small one that means nothing to anybody, but I
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: had a 13-yard kick return in Jordan Hare. They were
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: terrified of Trendon Holiday. They tried to squib it. They
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: tried to, yeah, well, they should have been scared of
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: T-Bob Holiday because they weren't ready. I got us 13 yards.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: That's a first down and a half nearly, Bear. We
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: didn't score on the drive, but I put us in
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: position to. It was the only time I ever touched
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: the ball.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Beautiful. Good job.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: No, but to your point, it's a rivalry that goes very,
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: very wonky. And it has some incredibly unexpected results.
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: And, well, who knows?
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: We might be primed to see it again. I don't
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: know what to make of LSU this year. I feel
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: pretty bullish. But I don't know that they can do
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: the tightrope for the rest of the season. But I
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: do think they have a couple of punches left in them,
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: either for Texas or Alabama.
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: No need to worry. You have a 2014 playoff coming up,
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: so you'll be fine.
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine that, letting the actual football decide who should advance.
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Crazy concept, right?
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: Exactly. I'm just saying you won't have to worry about
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: this stuff moving forward. You just won't.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: And that's what stinks about it, a 2014 playoff, is
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: that you won't have to worry.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: You mentioned, I mean, I do agree with, like, I
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: don't disagree with you because I always describe my favorite
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: feeling in all of college football is like quantum terror
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: before the game.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: Where you're like, in four hours, am I going to
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: be ready to end it all or am I just
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: going to be hammered, shit-talking everybody, firing off tweets and
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: videos and, yeah, I'll miss that.
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: But I think it'll still exist in some way.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: So I think we'll see. We'll see.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Only time will tell.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to poke you. I'm just going to
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: keep poking you.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: You know what?
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: You can poke the bear, which will also, or is
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: that a, am I getting my segments confused?
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: Is that what we do on my show?
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: He's on so many different shows, so many different platforms.
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: He is merging shows.
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: All right, two bears, one stew. That's another great episode
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: in the books, guys. College Football Show and Stew Got
• 52:59
