• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Let's bring in my co host Marshall Marshall Man. Another
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: week of college football and, like I said at the end,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: show just another proof. We don't need proof of this
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but I like to keep
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: repeating it that, you know, the regular season, that college
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: football is the best team sports there is. It just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: it is what it is, that's just how it goes.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And last week proved it again.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: My friend, Okay, am I allowed to start with the rant?
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, usually you do. I've been kind of missing them.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Actually, Okay, so this one actually had the blood pressure boiling.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I even explained to the fiance because this cost me
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: a bet I was living. Okay, now I would say realistic, Chris,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I would say combined, you and I probably watched football
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: college football for over forty plus years. Okay, we're we're
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: not still young STALLI is yet, you know, but anyways,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: we watched well for a long time. I've never seen
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: this fan called ever. So I had a first half
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: bet with Houston minus three and a half is Colorado. Okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Houston has the ball, they're up three, they're looking to drive.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: They have the ball like the twenty three yard line.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: It's like third and fifteen. Houston quarterback drops back to pass.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: His helmet gets pulled, which was called a face mask.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: As his helmet's being pulled and twisted to the left
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: side of his head, he throws the ball which was
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: affected by the face mask. Throws the ball. The ball
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: goes nowhere near a receiver. Okay, two flags on the play.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Now the refs called the face mask. They also called
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: intentional grounding, which waved away the it was redo the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: go down. They didn't. They only got a field goal.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Carl go down to score and they actually I lost
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: my first half.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Bet.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen a face mask call where the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: head gets pulled before he passed the ball or during
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the past and then you float throw a grounding flight
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: on the quarterback.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So as he was getting his helmet pulled illegally, he
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: was throwing the ball to nobody or was he gonna
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: throw to somebody, but the helmet grab fucked up his throat.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I would venture to say that as his arm was
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: in progress his he heard and.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: That like it's like it's like yeah, okay, and he
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: didn't see that even the announcers were like, dude, normally
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: the refs give the guy betted it out because like
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You're ready to throw and your head turns that ball
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is not gonna go where.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So, of course not.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I've just I've never, I've never in my life because
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: obviously the throw was dictated, so I just had to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: get off my chest. I didn't think it was fair
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to lose a bet that way. I just thought that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't see how you can call it both.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: It just seems, oh, that doesn't line up. Yeah, that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't line up at all. And I'll tell you what
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it feels like, the NFL type of vibe right there. Okay,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And this is a little scary because, just to add
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: on to your point, the first couple of weeks, I
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have seen some catches that are normally catches in college football,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're not. They're doing that we
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: don't know what a fucking catches. Yes, yep, you've seen that.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: We fucking go. We better take Chris Carter and Jerry
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Rice and all these great legends. We got to take
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: off like a hundred catches then, because they're not catches
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: anymore like it's just God, I hope that doesn't fucking happen, dude.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All Right, So when you're talking about.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: The end zone, like once you get once you have
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the ball and you've taken football, you've done a football move,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I'm saying football move. That's an NFL turn and.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: That get the open interpretation as well.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly. So you're running, you're taking steps, and you cross
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the goal line. It's done. It's over. There's nothing, nothing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: more to know about. So if you catch the ball
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and you you you have it in your grasp and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you cross the line, it doesn't matter what the fuck happens.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't true. I don't like when did it matter?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: But a running back they can fundle the goddamn ball
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: in the end zone is no, no, no where is passed.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: It's already passed. Oh okay, it's fucking crazy anyway, So
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: you got me going, now, you know you got me going.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I noticed that in a couple of games
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: this year so far. That's like, that's a fucking catch.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: That's a touchdown. Dude. Yeah, but anyway, I don't know. Hey,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: when I'm in this screen, can you still see me? Yeah? Okay, cool,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: all right, let's go to Tennessee in Georgia. Tennessee up
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: twenty one to seven early and often. I wasn't ready
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: for all this joy. Joey Aguilarra has this thing pumping.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: But then Gunner Stockings like, hang on, dude, we're not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: just gonna pass, uh, you know, to the side, because
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of people have been giving them shit about
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: their offenses. They just they just go sideways. They don't
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: throw it down the field. Now, don't get me wrong,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: some of those touchdowns. If they played again, I don't
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: know if they'd be able to catch that many deep
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: balls because my guess is the cornerback for Georgia wouldn't
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: be falling down as many times. But also, like there
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: was that one where they the Tennessee guy used the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: you know, like he literally pushed down on the shoulder
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: pad to grab one of them. But either way, great
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: game went to overtime. Almost both of them almost put
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: up five hundred twll yards. It just was all over
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the place Tennessee. Obviously some tough luck, I mean, time
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of possession definitely was in Georgia's hands. But and they
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: had too many penalties ten penalties to five, five to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: twelve on you know, third down or whatever. But in
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: two for two for Georgia on fourth down, obviously they
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: you know, the college kicker, you know the college kicker
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: comes into play. But uh, just a phenomenal game, dude.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I did not see that type of high scoring outcome, dude.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm higher now on Tennessee than I was, much
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: higher than I was.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah. One of my best friends, she was from there.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: She loves that team, and in the last two and
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: three years I've watched with her a Tennessee beat Bama.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: But I feel she equally hates Georgia and Bama, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: George is a little bit more because George's had their
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: ass like the past decade, I.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Think up until sixteen, since Dobbs on the on the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: on the deep ball.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but before this game a few days ago, it
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: was like three hundred and sixty to eighty four points,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: so they'd been whooping Tennessee's ass. So it definitely was
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a really fun game. Obviously, if you're Tennessee, you can't
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: come up with a better start like that stadium is balancing,
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: it's going crazy, and then Georgia punched back, and then
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: the second half, every time they scored we played ten.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I was the DJ to play Rocky Top. I mean
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: we were having fun. There was definitely whiskey consumed, felt
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: felt pretty good. But a couple of just oh, I
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: could talk about this game for twenty minutes, so I'm
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: not gonna do that, but a couple of things that
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: jump out, aside from my tendency love for my sister.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Not not many teams Chris are able to come back
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: and win that game, like and I'm not a curby guy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: but fucking a dude, that is that is a test.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Then I would say maybe only two or three teams
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: in college Wall win that fucking game. You got punched
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: in the mouth, and I would say it's not dead
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the value, but probably a top a top fifteen home field,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Avang Stadium roughly, you know it's it's one of the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: bigger ones.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So A you didn't quit in a game where a
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: lot of times, if you're down twenty one to seven,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: with the way that place is going, I could see
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: you losing and it would be nothing to be ashamed of.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Part two. It's fourth and six, you're down seven. You
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: gotta this game up, and you have the fucking stones
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to throw like a thirty yard rope touchdown pass. Like
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to me that that that's still that's the play that
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: haunts me in my head. Of Like, dude, not many
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks have the boss to make that play or to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: assume to try it and then to just land a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: perfect like I would say ninety percent of college quarterbacks
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: do a crossing route something reliable. That dude said, fucking man,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: we're going for the like we're tying this thing up
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and then just drops a dime Like that's just that's
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: not a regular play called college quarterbacks make. And this
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: kid is the one of the elite quarterbacks, Like you
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: know you're not. He's not the Heisman favorite kind of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: like talk, But dude, I the a maount of respect
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I have for making that play. Was that's special? That
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: so again not a Curby guy, but you got to
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: give credit where credit is due. They got punched in
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: the mouth a couple of times, had a little bit
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: of luck from a kick or that missed it. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: that was a really impressive road win on top of
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: what you said for once, Georgia. Sure they get tests.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You surely hat with Georgia, but obviously that's a tough
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: kill to swallow for a loss.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: It really is it really is, man, that that that's rough.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: You know, they already like had their plans to go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to the river, and like, you know, I think people
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: will probably you know, leaving early so they'd get a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: good spot at the river, you know what I mean?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Like that, Uh that was rough, dude. But you know
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that both QB is untested coming in, but gunner to
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: put up those kind of numbers and that type of game,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Like I said, I just didn't see any of this happening.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, where both would have that many points. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: but you know, and nowadays, you don't know what kind
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: of game it's gonna be and you gotta be ready
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: for it all. And so that's got to give Georgia
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: in that offense a lot of confidence because last year,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: as we know, man, their offense sucked. Dude. They're lining,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get a running game going. Their receivers are
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: dropping balls left and right, and he you know, just
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: because he's having success at Miami. There's a few games
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you could look at Beck and be like, ah, dude,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: you're forcing it. What are you doing? You know? So
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it was just a bad. The funny thing is Marshall.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: It was bad, right, but they still won the SEC
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So yeah, I'm I'm all
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: of a sudden high on both those teams. Like I said, Tennessee,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Now I look at him and go, okay, it looks
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: like they got an offense back. Now, all right, let's
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: roll because their defense is gonna be good enough. Now
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: you don't walk away from that, you know, side going
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: or that game going. Man, those defenses were nasty because
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of just the style of the game and peer lang
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: into the style of the game. Another game I did
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: not think would end up forty one forty You had
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: notre Dame up fourteen to seven A and m responds,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: they go twenty one to ten in the second Reid.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: When you look at like his completion number seventeen to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: thirty seven, it's like, oh he had a rough day.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: No wait, there's for three hundred and sixty yards. Actually,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you're like, huh, what happened? And they they
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: both defense didn't allow a lot of run per se,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: considering both you know, squads loved to run. Car had
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a pretty good game. Obviously, they both the young quarterbacks
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: through picker and whatnot. But you know, we talk. We're
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: gonna talk positive about kickers here in just a second, okay, people,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: but the thing about college, you just don't know about college.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: It's not always negative. Like we're gonna get some positives
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, we're talking to you. But and it wasn't
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: even the kicker. It was the holder, the perfect the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: snap was right there, just fucked it up. And then
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on what was a fourth down play that they scored
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that touchdown to go ahead. Crazy game though, huge win
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for Elco and then Notre Dame. You know, that's back
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: to back. This one's more respectable because it's not Northern Illinois,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: but back to back home openers. He's lost. Now kind
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of random. You know, people are like, well if they
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: if they string off ten, they'll still be in Okay,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they better hope USC is like a one last team
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: by the time they get to them.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Then you know, yeah, I mean, obviously the lost to Miami,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I really thought they were not playing. Miami got a
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: conservative kind of let them back in it. But you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: nonetheless that that was a close, good played loss on
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the road.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And they got their ship together during the game, you know.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, And now Carr had another a decent game. Again,
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: but man, you have two such like very talents rain Backs.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: It's hard to imagine that team just like they're a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: good team. But you're on too, so you're you aren't
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a loty more slip ups Like you said there, their
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: schedule for the remainder of the year is pretty light.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: But I'm with you, I uh, just again, I would
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I could have seen maybe I would have been more
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: surprised with are sorry more surprised with this score being
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: higher compared to George Tennessee because sometimes satsty gets going
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a little crazy shirt, But yeah, this one be forty
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: one forty, especially because A and M and Notre Dame
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: both Notre Dame's kind of going for a running game
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and A and M's normally had a pretty good defense.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: So this the fact this one kind of became a shootout.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: What was impressive? Again? Tab twenty in completions and still
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: throw for three sixty Obviously with the passes the completer
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: were pretty much pretty far down in the field. Uh,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I've seen Notre Dame secondary did not have the best
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of games. I was given your guy Carson Beck because
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: your hurricane fimeas year some credit because I thought that
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: he took care of the ball and obviously redid too,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: but maybe this Notre Dame Fighter Irish secondary has some holes.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Not to discrediting for Miami or A and M, but
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: this is two games in a row now where your
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: secondary has looked pretty pretty pretty bleak, like it's something's.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Missing up to the what it's billed as. You know.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so overall, the only thing I'll say though, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: this is kind of my last point for this one,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: is that with the articles, you're like A and M
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: breaks down the door of this road win. I was like,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the mind you like this, A and M's not a
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: program that's like never been known in college football. I
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: know we're older, but like the Mike Evans and Johnny
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Manziliers were terribly long ago, like ESPNS found out like
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: this was a game changing win for the program, But
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, how far did they fall? Because yeah, yeah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: they got.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: To get to get a college football playoff to start
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: knocking on the door with that stuff.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: But I just thought that the way this game was
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: presented was like A and M's like groundbreaking. What dude,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you're you're you're actually a pretty good program. I know
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: that you kind of fell down a little bit of Jimbo.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: But now if again Northern Illinois, you could say that's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: a program change and win to be Notre Dame on
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the road. It's cool, But that's not to me. That's
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: not like, oh my god, what crazy. Yep, you're a
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you're a good football squad and you have all night
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: in the world. So I just thought the narrative behind
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: this win, as good as it was, was over the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: top for a program that again, they're not lacking financially,
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: they're not liking players. They just need a head coach
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: maybe fine tune things a little bit, Chris, But they
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: didn't drop off the map.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah there, And like you said, they got a ton
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: of money, they get the recruit in Texas.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: A great home field advantage.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Great home field like and no matter what Jimbo did
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: or didn't do, they had a ton of talent. Still, yeah, yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I agree. I did hear some of that because if
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: bol boy catches the snap, then they can't get through
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: who knows, they may have gone for two and lost
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: the game, or they going overtime or who knows, you know, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: but I get you. I mean, it's a great anytime
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: you're going against it. And I still look at him
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: as like like, although if I if I was an
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: AP voter, I wouldn't vote him in. But I think
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: if you look at who they lost to there there,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you know, there's no Northern Illinois on there. So if
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: they went out, they better, like I said, they better
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: hope USC is like a one loss team because other
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: than that, there's just no way those are gonna be
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: quality wins probably or quality losses. But yeah, I don't know, man,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: but you know, it is a name the name recognition,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: so maybe they would get in. But either way, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: it was a great win. And I have that many
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: explosive yard like to have seventeen completions and it wasn't
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: like seventeen to twenty three, you know, But so that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: still has to improve obviously. But yeah, I'm al golden.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I don't you know, he's in the pros now decordinator.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: But clearly, I don't know if they have a new
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: system to where these these dudes aren't grasping it or
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: they're not taking advantage of what they're good at or what.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no clue. I'm not gonna
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: act like I'm this excess and O's guru. But some
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: don't look right with that defense because at times it
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: looks good still, but other times you're like, uh, hell though,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: you know, like they both both sides like contain the run,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: considering all much teams run, you know, both sides run,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and they did a pretty good job of containing the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Miami run. But like you said, they let a true
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: freshman run all over the place wide receiver wise, so
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: that dude special. But still, yeah, there's something going on there.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: It's just period there just is all right, Speaking of
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: something going on there, the Clemson Tigers are one and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: two for.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: The first time.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah since twenty fourteen. They went ten to two that year. Okay,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: so don't forget it. No, that was in two thousand
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and four. Though the Yellow Jackets said, f it, we're
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: walking off this thing. I can understand. I heard people saying,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: why didn't dead Will call a time out? Are you stupid?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Like why would you call a timeout for them? Like
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: you want him to go on that field and have
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: to kick the longest field goal in the fucking program
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: history at that field and he did it.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I really, I really thought the coach pulled netmu were
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: you could have got a couple of yards. It's like
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: these dives to oh god, dude, all right, right right
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: mad fifty? No big deal? Like Okay, as a Cowboys fan,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: yesterday seen Audrey kick one from sixty four easy. Yes,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: I'm spoiled, but these guys aren't Audrey. Like that was
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: like as I was, I was texting on my buddy
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: who you know I, and I was like he's like,
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: are they kid? What? What shit? Oh?
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, the ball.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Goes up like oh, it's good. And it looked like
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: it looked like it was going right dude, and then
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: it just it is like a perfect gulf Like yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: he's like, damn dude, that thing came back. But you know,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I guess when you got Haines King twenty five carries
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Bucko three not too shabby through the air too that yeah,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I know what you mean though, But hey, dude, it
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: freaking worked and it was just like you just stuck
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: in that moment, and I love seeing that when you
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: have what was it sixteen seconds left or something they
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: started running off the field. Yeah, right at the buzzer
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: walked off. I mean, it's just it's just phenomenal. And
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: you know, we talked about Georgia Tech last year and
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: how they were pretty close to turn that corner. And
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: now that coach, since he's been there, like he pulls
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: off upsets, dude, And now what they have to do.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It's it's twelfth for FBS right since twenty twenty two.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: It's a twelve win as an underdog since Brent Key
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: took over. So you know, like I said, longest kick
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in history for the program. So you know, we talked
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: about this team last year and they just have to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: make sure that they don't go and lose like two
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: games to people that they shouldn't. You know, I think
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: that's really key. But if you look at their schedule
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Marshall Temple, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech, Duke, Syracuse, NC Standing
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Outs at NC State, Boston College, pitt and of course
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Georgia at the end, it's hard like would you call
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: it somewhat of a slight underachievement or maybe just an
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: underachievement considering if they don't make the a SEC title
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: or if they're not in a weird tiebreaker or something
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: like that. Because you heard what you heard the teams
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: that I just named off. You know, I think I
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: gotta get it.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: I think their playoff chances are really good because you
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: you have two impressive wins so far or may but
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: you have two good win you know, and Georgia as
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: long as you look like respectable. But yeah, I think
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: they have a they have a definite chance. They're kind
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: of like Indiana. Yeah like that, you know, like I'm
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: not saying they're Indiana's firepower offensively, it's a little different
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: of a system. Yeah, I as a fan, you gotta
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: be thinking playoffs this year, which would be awesome for them.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: That's a great story. Speaking of statistics, which I like
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: to share, I heard today that from twenty twelve to
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty, Dabbles Sweeney, not one of my favorites, lost
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: two games to underrated teams. So from an eight year
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: spanning lost two games to unranked.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Teams, that's pretty good.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Since twenty twenty one until now, they've lost eight. So
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe he.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Should have just lived up to his word and retired,
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Rememory he said, if there's any money in
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: this involved for the for the kids. Yeah, they had coaches,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: but the kids. I'm done. I'm not gonna be I'm
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: not gonna do it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: And you know, the big hype coming into this year
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: really was the dim and Penn State, which I've heard
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: from a lot of different sites, and I'm not saying
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: they tell, but it was like Clemson Pence, they have
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: the best talent coming back in the country. If you
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: watch them offensively, clubing does sound like a heist and potential.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying it's all on him either. It
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: could be him.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: It could be that they don't know Williams, who was
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a stud, who would get draft, who's gonna get drafted.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I will say that that does hurt their wide receiver.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: But still you can't. You can't do this though, you know.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just watching their offense play, it's just there's
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: not quite a rhythm and flow to it. And I
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: know that Haynes King is a tough son of a
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: bitch because I love watching him play. But even Clemson's
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: the defense, which used to be pretty stout, is not
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: the same.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, it isn't. So they're just not the same.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, transfer portal, you.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Know whatever, but they hit that portal.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Dude, Clemson, Now though you can't afford you, you do
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: have to probably run the table, you know, so and.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Then now they you know, they're already a game back
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: with Georgia Tech.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: You know yeah, yep, so yeah that was man And
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: you know, I know, I know everyone likes to do.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: There are different themes. I'm pretty sure if you asked
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: a neutral person, because I would never say Penn State,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: but like for white out spot, he'll say Penn State
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: has the coolest atmosphere. That Georgia Tech thame looked really
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: cool because they did a white out for that game, Chris,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: they look pretty badass watching on TV, so hey, hats
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: up to them and to Haines King. He'll probably never
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: be a pro stud, but that dude, he probably gets
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: hit fifteen twenty times a game. He's a tough SOLB.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: And they say he was banged up in week one.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's banged up this week. But that guy,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: he leads his team. He's tough and he's just he's
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: you can't help but like him as a football fan,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: unless you're like maybe a Georgia that hates Georgia Tech
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: like to watch play college football. He really is.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: He's a college football quarterback dude. Like, like I think
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: people get stuck in that thing like we're watching the
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: pros or something like who gives a ship where they
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: get drafted. Look what he does on this field right
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: here on Saturdays, dude, not on Sundays. Who cares about Sundays?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean, I watch the NFL. But I'm saying,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: if we're talking about college ball, then we're talking about
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: college ball, dude. It doesn't matter. Now. They are a
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: grinder team. They had to grind it out on the
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: road against the rebuilding Colorado team like they you know,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's easy, and they probably will. I'm not saying
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: they're going to go unefeated, you know, I think they'll,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: but I with their schedule, they probably can only drop
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: one in conference, you know. And when I asked, I'll
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: say this again, Okay, I don't like to choot my
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: own hord, but too Okay, the ACC getting two teams
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: in is pretty is looking kind of likely right about now.
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying true, just saying they got what they
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and it's not like they didn't do that last year.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: They did, you know, they did get it in. So
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: we'll see. We'll see how that goes. But like you said,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: to have that game that has nothing to do with
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the conference, and it just has to do with like
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: basically how it was last year, like a big primetime game, right,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: a rivalry and all that with Georgia, Like that's a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: great it's actually a great way to end the season
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: because even if they lose it, like you said, people
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: will be like, yeah, but dude, that's Georgia, so it
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: really let's put him in. You know, they deserve to
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: be in even if you know they lose to Miami anyway,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: But honestly, that matchup is really you know, it's funky.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: It might you know, Georgia text played not justlast year,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: they've played them pretty tough over the years, so that
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you know, that's that's a different story anyway. So Florida,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: we know that they have a daunting schedule. Legway was
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: hurt during camp. He looks like he's taken a step back.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: I think four out of his five interceptions were on
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: third down. And who would have thunk it that the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: LSU Tigers playing death alley that they are gonna have
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to fine tune and improve over the year on offense,
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: but their defense looking pretty freaking good. Like I did
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: not see this coming clearly, LSU should have won this
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: by about ten to fifteen whatever, fourteen points more. They
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: got the job done, good old nuts through a pick
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: where you're like, what are you doing? You got a
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: ten point lead, why are you even throwing that ball? Dude?
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: But he's not on the same page, and the wide
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: receivers aren't either. Even the halfback coming out of the
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: there was, you know, a little miscue. They're not on
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the same page. But I think they can get better.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: And remember they got like four out of five new
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: offensive linement. I think they can get better. That Durham
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: is a good running back. He still had almost one
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: hundred yards. So I'm not completely sold on l s
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: U just because of their offense. But it sounds funny
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm happy not a reporter because you said to
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Brian Kelly Chris.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, we just beat CC. You're in the SEC, dude,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: So don't be talking about you just beat it SEC T.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: You're in the SEC, dummy.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: And all the guy said was coach or struggling around
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: the ball. Well, no, we're done, Look, we just want
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: to get God. I really can't say yeah, Brian Kelly.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Dick like the cover of three today was like I say,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the players when they're going over the tape, they should
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: get all they should say that back to him, like,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: oh so it's one play, coach, you're gonna get on.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Mean we won the game, coach.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: You know, like I thought that was yeah, but yeah,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: he got real real real, Like I guess that he
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: could do that in Indiana, but in the SEC, I
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: don't think he can get away.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: With that, dude.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, you know, again, Nussmeyer. The Nussmeyer hype
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: was big too. But honestly, I think the most talented
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: kid right now in NSCYC might be that kid in Arkansas.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: That's why I'm hearing the boy that that Taylor Green.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: That kid can play some football. So and Bobby and
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: Bandy I know that, you know, but like, so it is.
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Another college football player, right. Yeah, I don't care where
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Diego goes in the pros. I could care less.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: You heard all the arch Manning hype and likens right
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: now and again, you know to Nusmar spread that hey
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: there aren't they're ranked top five and you know they're winning.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: But that's a good it's okay problem to have though, Hey,
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: your defense is kind of burning back to like that
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: that DVU kind of which they it's been gone for
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Ailso hey're winning games and you would assume that the
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: offense will kind of get the ship road in the
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: right direction again. So if you're all, you're you're sitting
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: pretty lucky, like you know, things are looking pretty good
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: because obviously, as we know their schedule, you still have
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: quite a few hiccups. It's not quite Florida, but you
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: still got after a really easy Southeast Louisiana game and
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: you got at Old Miss, home to South Carolina, go
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: to Vandy, home to A and M, go to Bama,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: then home to Arkansas like that. That's still a really
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: hard stretch. So you're gonna need to get that offense
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: together a little bit. But hey, you're you're winning games.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: If you're Florida, Man, this is a tough one. Like
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I was telling you for the show, Chris, Florida's defense
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: has allowed two touchdowns this year in three games and
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: they've lost two games. Like you know, you know you
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: normally iway say a team is a team you know,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: you never you shouldn't be one to ever trash your
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: teammates because y'all are from the same cloth. Dude, if
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: I'm if I'm a Florida Gator defensive linebacker, d being like, dude,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: y'all gotta get your shit together, like we we're we're
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: playing our asses off keeping all these games and you
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: guys just gotta just not screw it up like man
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: to lose to USF and then LSU give up seven
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: touchdowns like, oh, that's dude, that's gotta be tough again,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I feel much simply, I know you're not gonna give
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: you sibody to Gator fans either, and the billionaire of
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: your hot seat that's just getting hotter and hotter again.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: That guy's in a tough spot. The schedule he's been
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: given this year is the toughest of the land in
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: our opinion or my opinion. But at the end of
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the day, moral victories don't count when you're on the
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: hot seat. So if you're LSU nicely done, you get
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: a cake walk game this week and then it's kind
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: of a death rowe for five weeks in a row.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. But hopefully they can maybe tweak their
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: offense and get a little more productive because defense and
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: we are now they're playing like team that could win
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: a title. Potentially, which we've not said about Lis two
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Christ For the past three to four years, it's been
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: kind of the floodgates of everyone's rocking through. And now
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: it's like, I'll say it, how they transferred so quick
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: is surprising, I thought this year, but kay of like
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: as US stiled with like Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma or
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: as tame to USC. Normally you see teams make progress.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this has been a huge team that won the championship.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: You saw make progress.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this has been a quick flip to a really
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: style defense. Again. So now with that being said, are
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Clemson and Florida getta shot?
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Right? That's what I was going to say, Like, we
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: can't say they're top five defense, but it's way better.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Yes it is.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: It's probably good if they can get their ship together.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: It's good enough to make a run, that's for sure.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Fair, very fair.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: So we did see some teams like Texas, Iowa State.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: For a while, Ohio State was playing with their food
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: then they ran away with it. We saw some of that.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: We definitely saw some of that Texas. Uh, I don't know, man,
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You know, the the arch manning thing.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: You know, people have been like showing replays of him
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: grimacing when he throws. But then I've also seen the
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: same grimace from last year, so I guess he makes
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: that face when he throws. I don't know, but his
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: coach ain't bailing him out with that, that's for damn sure.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: You know, he was saying, hey, dude, like you're you're
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: not fundamentally sticking to what you can do here, and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: you're looking to run more and and he said there's
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: a danger in kind of the one look run because
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: obviously that's not the system they run. It's different if
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you're a full on running quarterback and you know you
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: have two running backs that you know they do have
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: two running backs. I'm saying, it's a different system. They
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: passed the ball too, so they're a wait and see.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: On offense, their defense is damn good and they're gonna look,
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be like Miami last year, where you know,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: damn you wasted that offense without a defense, And now
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it feels like Texas is gonna just do
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the opposite, you know, where they've got damn good defense,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: but they just can't get it together. And I don't
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: think Arch is going number one anymore this year. I
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's pretty crazy. So but anyway, old miss Arkansas,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: you brought it up a little bit forty one to
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: thirty five. Shambless Trinidad. Shambless came in twenty one to
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: twenty nine three fifty three, had sixty two yards on
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: the ground, and that's going against the guy you mentioned,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Taylor Green. Dude put up one hundred and fifteen on
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: the ground, had a tuddy on the ground average eight
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: point two carries again a rush and they ran for
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: two twenty one compared to one twenty four. And he threw, oh,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, for three zero five through the air.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: You know, the razorbacks tend to play these guys tough,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: and especially when you're going with a new quarterback after
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: Austin Simmons. But man, you may want to just go
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: with shambless now. You know, we've seen players come in
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: and look good and then two weeks later, once they
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: put something on tape, someone puts to an end to it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: But it feels like Arizona or Arizona Arkansas is gonna
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: be a little bit more sustainable this year, because remember
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they got off to a pretty good start where they were.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: They were a tough out and then they fell apart.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: But with that quarterback, this could get interesting. And they
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: got Memphis, Notre Dame at Tennessee, A and M Auburn,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State, LSU, Texas and Missouri. Though that's that I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: didn't know. That's their that's their next nine games, you know.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: So they're gonna have to go ahead and prove it.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: But what do you think man trying to add Shambless,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, just the name alone. Gotta give a guy
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: another look.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I like him more than the guy who's
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: been playing the first couple of weeks. Again, Man, I
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: don't know, And I can't really rip my guy because
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: I'm a huge linkift from supporter, but it.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Well, actually I know you can't rip him. I know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I know, but but you know, for in Farness.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Last year, Jackson Darte put up good numbers. I just
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: know I wasn't a big fan because I've done the
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: big games. Canna would let the team down. Kiffin has
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: ways to have that offense work. Okay, but it does
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: seem that, like I just maybe maybe I'm too hard
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: for critics. I guess I'm not sure. But nonetheless, you've
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: your ale, miss, like, hey, you have another year where
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: you have the talent you have. I will say that
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the ground games maybe not quite as strong as it
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: has been the last couple of years. The last two seasons.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: They can run the ball like crazy. Obviously, two years
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: ago they had Judkins which was really clutch, and then
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: this last year they had some good running backs. This
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: year it's a little more of going back to passing
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: the ball. But if you're all Miss, I really think
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: again this other year where you're in the you're in
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: the teams right now. But I think their goal should
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: be trying to make the playoffs. And I do feel
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: kind of like the fact that they they're they're a
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: good B level team, Chris. They're they're gonna win probably
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: nine or ten games, but that get over the hump
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: with Georgia or Bama or winning the one he gotta win.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: They haven't quite got to that point yet, or maybe
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: their schedule hasn't give them the chance to so again
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: a nice win. I'm kicking myself because I said on
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: the show, always bet the over for this game, and
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I believe it's I'd be like forty four to forty
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: and I'll hit the score and that was I looked,
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: looked too much whiskey during the Tennessee Georgia gam unfortunately, Yeah,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: m but hey, a fun one, a great watch. Kad
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: comes out of there. Who had the ball last? But hey,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: for Taylor Green, I'm not sure what all the weapons
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: he has around him, but you you threw for three
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and five yards. He ran for a buck fifteen, Like, dude,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: your fun to watch. And yeah, and for for Laying,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: now you either got Trinidad or Simmons, So we'll see.
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: It's a good problem to have.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Because Simmons does struggle. You know, at least they can
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: go to him. And now I will say this about
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: old miss. These last two years a schedule, you know
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: from the sounds of it, these next two years, you
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: know like it's gonna be tough for schedules. So you know,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: he better get a ship together because he may be
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: looking at a Florida schedule and then all of a sudden,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: it might be seven and five, my friend.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: So for for my guy Laying, you got two lange,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: which will not be easy but should be a win
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: at home. But then you got a home to l
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: s U tough you play Wazoo should be a win.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: But then you go at Georgia at Oklahoma. Yeah yeah,
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: you bet buck up the tense traps, sir, because that
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: l s U Georgia Oklahoma that that's Hey, we'll see
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: if Lane wins those I'll be I'll be Hoti Toddy
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: go miss Let's go. But that'd be really impressive for
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: a win for them.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and uh, you know Vandy Cruz is in
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: the second half. Obviously, you know, the QB getting hurt
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: for the Game Cocks did affect it. But when you
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: look at that game and how it was going and
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the gashing them with the run, and they were gonna
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: win the game regardless. Even though I picked the game Cocks.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: By the end of the week, I couldn't. I couldn't
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: stop not, you know, siding with Diego.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: I had.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I had to throw a little money on Diego and
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: so they got the I'm done. Were they the team
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: that threw it in like a little like man made
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: creek looking thing? Is that what happened there?
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, that's wrong, because they got a river.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: There was another team.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: Who was Georgia Tech through like the goalpost and was
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: like a pond you see on your campus or something.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they said it's a river. I said that ain't
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: no river, dude.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know what they called that in the South,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: but in the Midwest, we don't call that a river. Dude.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: That's that looked like a man made something.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Now like three years ago, Tennessee through that ship in
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: the river when maybe, yeah, that was actual.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Vandy did too. Remember last year?
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they had the walk.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: They had a walk. Remember they had to walk a
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: long time to get there. But yeah, that's what it was. Good.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: I'm glad that you remember that. So Vandy got it done.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: And they do look like a team on a mission
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: where they're not going to be six and six this year.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: It looks like they're a better overall team. I'm not
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: saying they're gonna get to the SEC final case State.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a rough one. They lose the Zona
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: good competitive game, but they but they did lose. And
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: then obviously, you know UCLA and VODSEEK haven't been looking great,
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: and uh, to get beat by New Mexico. I mean
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: I had the plus fifteen and a half because I
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: had seen the Michigan game, you know, but still I
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have guessed thirty five. I didn't think they'd win
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the game. I thought it they'd be like, you know,
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: three points or something, Ucla Ucula would get over. But
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: vod Tech and Ukula, the head Honchos are no longer
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the head honches. They're gone. Both of them got just
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: destroyed Old Dominion, New Mexico State or New Mexico. Sorry,
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: and they're like, nope, that's that's not going to happen
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: on our watch. So they're we've already gotten our first
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: two firings. And because the NCAA didn't want to take
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: action with rules five years ago, which let's not forget
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: before we blame the kids. You know this, they could
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: have already done this. There's a thirty day they can
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: start transferring right now, and you know, you could play
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: in four games. It's still red shirt. So maybe they
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: should have wait one more week, but that's just me.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: What do I know? But yeah, you can. You have
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a thirty day window. It just opened up. Whenever your
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: your coach gets fired, you know you can't play. I've
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: heard that rumor you can't play the same year. So
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: it's not a trade or anything like that, they can't
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: go someplace and play. I've heard that little misinformation out there.
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: I have not seen that that is from what I know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: you can't. You can't play on that team.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I will say. Obviously, public perception. Part of being a
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: head football coach in a big conference is kind of
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: how the media perceives you. And if you remember last year,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Chris Deshaun Foster, his old being press conference was.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Just super weird at the big time media.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he wasn't prepared, his questions were awkward, So that
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: kind of really put him on a weird path and
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: he started the year off rough. So I I truly
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: believe that if he'd had a regular press conference that
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: were just maybe answered the questions in more of a
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: regular tone, he probably wouldn't be fired yet. But that
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: the weird starts of the year with the weird press conference, and.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: He hadn't been a head coach at a high profile
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: you know it was he hadn't been a head coach, right,
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think he was a head coach anywhere, No.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: No, never was. He was just lum so then but
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: then he fished out. OK, then you come back and
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: you obviously this year was off to a rugged start,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: so hey, that's tough man. And obviously and.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They're recruiting well, we talked about that. You know, they
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: are recruiting well, so they probably want to try to
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: hold those recruits.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: So it must be some some boosters probably tripping up
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: a little bit. And all right, dude, you gotta go.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: And for Vo Tech, that dude was there for longer
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: than Foster. But that is a that's a pretty proper program.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, hell, I remember back in the days where
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: you know, it was Michael Vay, like Vote's always just
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: been a pretty good team. But when you do get
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: smoked at hold my old Dominion and Vandy kind of
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: smoked you like they that's one of those things where
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: again you're kind of weird spot like it is tough,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Like you know, the bandy's not world beaters, but you
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: can't getting ran out the gym by a mid level
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: tier school. That's probably the last straw and which was
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: our pretty short leash already for for Bret Pryde.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like you said before we hit record, like you
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: can't be entering sand Man getting everybody pumped up and
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: then just getting feel That's that's definitely not a good look.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: My second favorite team behind the Gophers, of course, the
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes looking sharp even in a weather delay, which
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: obviously in September hurricane season, you know, it happens, happened
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: a lot this last week. They got the job done.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: They didn't you know, overlook them. They didn't do this.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: They played damn good. And Beck has been very precise.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: You know, he threw one bad pick or whatever, but
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: other than that, man, he looked good. The running game
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: is there, the defense is there, and I said, the
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage is big for them. And you know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: like I for sure thought both of them were in
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: the top ten. I'd argue that they were in the
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: top five. Back to the Cover three Saturday night, they
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: were saying they have the best combination offense in defensive
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: lines in the country. Now that's them saying it. I'm
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: not ready to say that because I don't want to
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: jinx anything. But we all know if you take care
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: of the line of scrimmage, good things ken in will happen.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: Speaking of good things, at least from a country roads
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: point of view, West Virginia have all these injuries, which I,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: by the way, didn't know and a lot of them
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: happened in that game against Ohio. But they backyard brawl,
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: they get they find a way, rich Ord finds a
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: way to get a job Country Roads, and you know,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: next year they're not playing, but they signed it basically
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: a decade long year or long contract, so the next
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: decade the backyard Brawl is in full full force.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: My friend, that's awesome. I I I would love to
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: try to sing the song again, but I don't want
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: to be disrespectful to the my favorite karaoke or I
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: should say favorite piano barb Virginia. So it was actual
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: pretty cool because they're playing that song in the background
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: when rich Rod was h the game.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I saw that, and.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: That is one of the more like if you're a
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: college football fan, because you know in basketball it's not
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: the same for those two. But like that is like
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: a legit true, like great like blue collar football rivalry.
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: The backyard Brawl. It's always the start of the year.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: It's always a fun game, it's always close. There's definitely
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: a lot of pride because obviously you own there's not
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of competition in West Virginia for football, so
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: that that kind of is their home pride and joy.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that that was That was a really fun
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: game and another one of those awkward situations where a
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: quarterback is playing for his life to win a game
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: in ot and kind of the last play of the
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: game is kind of just chucks it away. It was
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: just one of those like what what what are you doing?
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Dude?
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: Like it's just one of those like brain cramp moments. Uh,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: but good for rich Rod. Hey, and that's just the
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: beautiful party college football. Chris to where you literally were
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: on our segment last week for the crafty craft pick
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: of the week. You lose to Ohio, a mid tier
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: max school, but then you come back as a literally
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: a rule you know, no power team against the small
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: team and they turn right around and win.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: Then you come back to the home dogs, a seven
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: point dog and you be your huge rival and then
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: you Blair Country Roads, so take them home. Hey, that
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: was cool win and good for college football. I'm biased
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: to like the song, but yeah, it's just a fun
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: game to watch, and it's cool that despite so many
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: teams changing, so many rivalers disappearing like I still this
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: day miss Maryland Duke basketball. Like being a Carolina fan,
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: It was fun because it was Carolina, Maryland, and Duke,
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: and there was hatred amongst all three. We obviously hated
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Duke together, but that was good for basketball. I never
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: missed Maryland Duke games either. So it's fun that you
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: still see some of these colleges keeping rivals that make
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: fans love their sport no matter what.
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And that's why, although it sucks they they're
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: going to miss a year, it is nice that they
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: got a decade long and I'd assume they're going to
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: keep it going. Why not. It's it's good. And this
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: is the thing that people that don't follow college people
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: don't understand, Like, no matter what year Westernton he has, now,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: they still beat it, you know what I mean? Just
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: what it is like the Gophers beaten Wisconsin keeping him
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: out of a ball game. Yeah they were only seven
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: and five last year, the Gophers, but they kept him
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: out of a ball game. It was great, you know. Yeah,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: So that that's that's what it's all about. Most teams
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: aren't gonna win the national championship. Although it is deeper,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: The field is deeper. Now I will say this. I'm
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: just gonna mention this. The quarterback for the Alabama Crimson side.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Wisconsin, had a good week. Okay, had a
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: good week, very economical, but it's Wisconsin, so let's not
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: get crazy. But he did look good. Okay, Well we'll see.
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I did see in the very top of the stadium, Marshall,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I saw some empty seats up there, Okay in Tuscaloot,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: I see, I seen it. I really, I looked up.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I said, man, they got some empty huh weird. But yeah,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: hey did you see that lottery that clip of that
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: lady that the lottery that Yeah, yep, she's gonna buy
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: out the contract in the present air and the athletic
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: that ship is hilarious, dude, Oh I love that. Any
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: other items before we start breaking down, We'll start with
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma and Auburn, Jackson, Arnold coming back to or sorry,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: coming back to the Sooner bill, But any other, uh,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: any other items? What'd you think? You know? Miami? What
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: are you gonna say something about Miami? You're just gonna
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: not saying about him?
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Uh? I thought, yeah, I thought they played good.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: I do think do you kind of won like the
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: soup stakes? For now? Is he as flashy as cam
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: word or some other guys, mill but he's gonna make solid,
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: solid plays, and he just looks like he's comfortable. Like
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I used when they played Notre Dame because
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: I saw that game a lot more than I saw
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the last one. Right, he's a veteran guy. He won't
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: get like, you know, phased out by big plays. He's
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: just gonna step back and make passes need to make,
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: which not a lot of college teams have that privileged quarterbacks.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: Like again, he maybe maybe like that material Oklahoma, and
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: he's maybe got better wheels, but like he's been in
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: big game situations. Your your team should feel comfortable around
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: him just because he knows.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: What he's doing.
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: So that that that.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Now, my my biggest spirit for you, guys, is your
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: head coach in the game, game time decisions, which is
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: out of players hands. He's chryst the ball scares more
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: than a player on your team.
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I'll say that that's fair. Now, he did build the team, Okay,
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: so the number one offensive or line of scrimmage. True,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: you got to get credit for that too, But I
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: hear you, I hear you. Yeah, I mean I think
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the impressive part is they lost so many pass catchers one,
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: and to remember he didn't play in the spring because
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: of his elbow. So to look this good right now,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: they're only going to get better, you know. So yeah,
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: I like, I like what I gotta see, but I see,
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: but you know, it's a long season and you know
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of Like I just mentioned Georgia Tech. That's
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: a funky matchup on average for US. So speaking of
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, could have taken a knee
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: against Georgia Tech. All Right, Auburn, Oklahoma, two thirty ABC Oklahoma.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: You know, we knew they had a defense last year.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Their offense is producing more this year. They're running in,
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: passing the ball. John Mattire, you know, he may have
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: some throws where you're like, hey, dude, what are you doing?
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? But he's he's a good player, man,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: He's a very good player who could pass in and
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: run Jackson Arnold so far, you know, they haven't really
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: needed him to pass just yet. And they ran all
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: over Baylor, and I had Baylor, but I was surprised
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: at that. I gotta say, I was very surprised that
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: they they were able to run that much. Not to
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: say Baylor's got this top ten run defense or whatever.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I just they were just gashing him. Now are they
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: going to be able to do that in this game?
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: I highly doubt. If that's not to say they're not
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to run. I think they'll get over
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing, but you know they're they're averaging
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: a lot more than just that, you know, so, I
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: mean they average two forty two on the ground, you
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: know so, so if you get hold them to even
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: one thirty, that's winning. And they've done a good job
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: at stopping the rush too, so I mean, you know,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: not as good through the air or whatever, but some
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: of that is the quarterback they faced with Baylor. Of
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: those yards, I do have to say in my against
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: the spread segment, I haven't put a bet down, but
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: that's six and a half or I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: keep an eyeball on it, especially because if they can
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: get the run going, that helps. Now, Oklahoma played a
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: running team, as we know, but in Michigan. But Michigan
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: doesn't have the wide receivers that Auburn does. Because Auburn
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: has Coleman, they have guys, So Arnold's gonna have to
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: hit on something because they're gonna contain the run enough. Yeah,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: maybe the first driver too that they you know, they'll
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: have some success and then you know, here and there
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: they'll have success. But at some point I think Oklahoma
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: will at least if they have to, they'll probably sell
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: out to stop it and force Arnold to throw the ball.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: It is just different than Michigan because, like I said,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: the talent he has to throw to is much better.
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: So a big game, how do you see this one
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: playing out? Obviously it's in Oklahoma, correct.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Yes it is. It's in Norman.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's in Norman. So what says you? My longtime friend.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Oklahoma, and Vegas is suggesting the same.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't get the minus six and a half, which
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: is a pretty strong respectable spread. I did think, you know,
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: obviously I'm not. I think Aubert is probably a better
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: team than Michigan. But you saw the way Oklahoma handled
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Michigan's quarterback be a little bit different than But I
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: just overall think what do we really know about Auburn?
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: I feel like the last two seasons they've kind of
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: been kind of like that mid level tier SEC team
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: that's kind of taking a couple of SEPs back where
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: they've been.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I get win and then you know, yeah, and
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm pretty I'm pretty sure they that Oklahoma beat
• 58:18
  Speaker 5: them last year in the Crazy Game in in Jordan
• 58:21
  Speaker 5: Hare Stadium.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: So uh to see Oklahoma Now they're gonna be on
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: their home field. I like Venables and as the defensive coordinator,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: that dude just kind of gets it. His game planning is.
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: He's kind of a higher level DC.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the coach where did he used to coach?
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Uh, somewhere in the A SEC, somewhere in the A
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: s C. Yeah, so some some team. Yeah, well and
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: and then maybe go show that he.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Was good since he left. That's what ye.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe the head coach doesn't really know what he's doing
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: down in a good old uh Conway South out and
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: it's not Kyle or wherever wherever the hell Clemson's from
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Clemson name of the city, I don't know. But anyways, Yeah,
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: so I'll be cheer and for all you. That's where
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: my good friend he'll be. Actually, he invited me to
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: the game. I'm not I'm I don't know if I'll
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: be able to go, but but I will be going
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: to Tusk Lucier for sure. Yeah, so I'll take o you.
• 59:14
  Speaker 2: I think they get the job done. I just think
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: that defensive coordinator is making it work. And now that
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: your receivers are mildly healthy and you have a quarterback
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: that is like kind of a dual threat, I think
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's the better team.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to Oklahoma to win, but I'm not
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent sold on the on the spread just yet.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I think that Michigan was in that game and could
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: have furthered the game, if that makes sense, like all
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: the way down to the wire. Maybe they lose, sure
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: I think they would have, but I do think that
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: they could have. It could have been closer all the
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: way down. And I just I saw some circumstances where
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: you're like, man, man, But you know, Arnold, I don't know,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: like I guess sometimes you the recency bias, right, And
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: we're gonna find out if my recency bias with Baylor,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: who by the way, has a good quarterback, Yeah, I
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: would say great on the college level, so you know,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: and they beat the shit out of that so but
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: they don't got Oklahoma's defense. But yeah, I'm with you
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: on the Soonerville especially at home and all that. You
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: know for sure now having watched Materier, he does have
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: to calm down on some of those passes. But like
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: dumb passes, risks stuff, But he's got balls, you know,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: so he goes for it sometimes. But yeah, I like it.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not I can't say which way on the spread,
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: but the plus six and a half of that puppy,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I may, I don't know, I'm not sure, but yeah,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I like the Sooners as well. All right, Illinois in Indiana, Indiana.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: It's at Indiana number nine, he gets number nineteen Indiana.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: You know, they said that they played the they've they've
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: now we've seen a bunch of their scheduling in the
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: non conference and they said they're playing the SEC non
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: conference style. Funny, the SEC just changed their rules and said,
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: not only are we going to a nine conference games,
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: but one of your non conference has to be a
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: power school. So therefore, you know, he snuffed that little
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: shot in. But to be fair, a lot of these
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: teams played, you know, power teams at the conference.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: People.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: What it is is that damn November game that you know,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: it's actually the more I look at the easy walk
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: through November first of all you have, they're gonna have
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: three of them, right or two of them? I should say, Yeah,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: every fucking team can schedule that anytime they want. Yeah,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: there's no rule that says it has to be in September.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: So if you're about to play your rival on rivalry
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: week during thanksgame, why in the fuck wouldn't you do that?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: It does make a lot of sense. Now, I agree,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: there are schools like in the SEC They're gonna fucking
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: sell no matter what you know. So maybe they're thinking,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: do we can't do that in the height of a season,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know you have it
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: just a walk through. So but it makes sense to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: heal and rest and shit, you don't play some young
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: players whatever. Anyway, Illinois at Indiana, Illinois at least played
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: a pretty solid duke team. Turnovers played a big role
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: in that one. Right now, Indiana, their stats are all
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: over the place, like three oh seven on the ground, Marshal,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: they're rushing three hundred and seven yards, they're putting up
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: fifty two a game, two eighty four in the air,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: three oh seven on the ground. But they're and they're
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: not giving up any pass, which goes along with a
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: blowout because you know, they start to these bad teams
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: have to pass and then they look like shit. But
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: they are giving up a buck fifteen on the ground,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: which is a little surprising. Fernando mende Mendoza comes from Cal.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: They got players, they got money, they really do. Indiana
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: has money. So you know when it's Ken State, you know,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: I'll say this old it was Old Dominion. I think
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: first week, wasn't it because that was a close That
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: was a close game, but we know Old Dominion is
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: pretty decent anyway, Uh the okay, so how do you
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: at least Illinois and that was was that on the road?
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: That was in Duke, wasn't it?
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so at least they've been tested already. Now Ken
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be able to stop the run,
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: which they've shown they can. You know, I don't I
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: like Illinois quarterback a little bit more, but not much
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: because Mendoza is a pretty good player. You know at
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: Cal they played really well with him. So I don't know, man,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: I want to go Illinois, but also you know the
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: Illinois bet I have, they got to go eight and four.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of like, I don't know, And when Indiana
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: had to play ranked teams last year didn't go good obviously. Now,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I thought they battled pretty hard for a house state
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: for a while and then it got out of hand.
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. They battled with Notre Dame, but Notre Dame
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: eventually just you know, clean their clock a little bit.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: But when Notre Dame, you know, they went to the
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: National championship game. So what says you won this one?
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: You know, this is a big matchup. I kind of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: counted I counted it as an l at the beginning
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: of the year when I made that Illinois bet. But
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: but what says you and this one? This is a
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: great matchup.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: I feel, uh, last year like this would have been
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: in Indiana lock. But I don't. My gut says take Illinois.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: And you said Indiana lock or Indiana.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: Indiana lock like last because they were just like they
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: were like a wagon, like they were on fire. But yeah,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: you're right, Yeah, you know, obviously people are gonna overlook
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: them this year. Obviously they still got some talent. Now
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: they've played they haven't played world beaters at all yet.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: But right, I guess I just feel that like Illinois
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: is the better team. But Vegas, Like, dude, we gotta,
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: we gotta let Indiana be the favorites, you know. Yeah, now, yeah,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: because Indiana beat well Dominion again did whoop on a
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: votech but then Kenna saw in Indiana states they won
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: their last two game games roughly one hundred and thirty
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: one hundred and forty three to nine. Okay, but you know,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: shiit I I'm just gonna take they have Illinois got
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: more training talently, they'll be ready to go. Uh and
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: if Indiana's running game defensively isn't quite ready, like, I
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: just think they're a little more proven, like because last
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: year in Illinois did when Indiana did have to step up,
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: they did kind of get their butt whooped a little
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: bit versus Ohio and in that playoff game, uh now.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: They were not even close. Yeah.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: Now, I'm not saying that Indiana with Beilama is same
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: level as Ohio, say, but relatively I do think that.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Sure.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm just gonna take I'm gonna kind of
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: blind me take Illinois and go with that. Yeah. I'm
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: not a fan of that guy either. But aside from that,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: as you know, no, there's a lot of coaches I
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: really don't like in Calle football.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: The seventeen that you list, there's not that many. There's
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty sixteen, So I mean you know
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's not that many. Really.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, if myerver comes back, you just let me know
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: then then then the emotions get pretty high. Yeah, I
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 2: will take the the Ali.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: Could you imagine if he came back to USC, or
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: not came back, but came back to Colls football and
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: went to USC, you'd be so you wouldn't know what
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: I know, I I would know. I would never I
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: would never cheer I could. I would never. I have
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: some standards in life. As much I love USC, I've
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: loved him since two thousand and three, I could never
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: cheer for that, man. I promise you that. Chris.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I'm just saying once we get to the
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: semi final, I'll ask you again. So you're you're healthy
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: like I feel good.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: I may.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna see how this line goes. But it is
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: in my against spread. I do think they can keep
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: it close either way if they they lose or win.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Illinois so plus four and a half I like it.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: I'll see where it goes. I wouldn't doubt if it
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: goes a little lower, So maybe I should jump on it.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: Would you think it'll go a little lower or at
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: least stay the same. I don't think it'll go higher.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think you'll touch seven or seven
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: and a half.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see. Yeah, I'm not.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not one of those guys that are afraid to
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: buy a little little, you know, a little something, even
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: if it means you know, minus one, one, three and
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: a half, three and a half. I don't because I
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: can find it for plus four and a half.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 2: Still, Okay, Yeah, I think that's pretty good value.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I am gonna go Illinois. I happened to
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: like Belama. Even though I don't really like him, I
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: respect him. I know that he didn't besides Bama. He
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: could play Bama really good at Arizona. I mean it's Arkansas,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: but uh, because remember that tight end and all that.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: That's crazy games. But you know, they couldn't do what
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: they he did in the Big Ten, that's for sure.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: But I just they brought so much talent back and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: I just I think that this is their year to
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: get to the playoff. So I like because Michigan's down too,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: you know. There there's some other teams that are down
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: that that. So I think they got like sixteen or
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: seventeen starters back, you know, something like that. So I
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: like Illinois to win the game. So that is one
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: of those against the spread plus four and a half
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: that I'm definitely in Texas Tech, who I believe led
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the portal pretty much every recruiting. I'm pretty or at
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: least one or two in there in Utah. Right, this
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: is a really interesting matchup. Both of them are running
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: the ball like mad dogs two fifteen two ninety Texas
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: Texas throwing that thing around two three eighty seven. Utah
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: is giving up ninety on the ground compared to forty one.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: But it's early this Devin Danpierre does look the part
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: of a guy who can throw it some but also run,
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: so a real dual threat and just take care of
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 1: the ball, you know, let us do the rest. You
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: make your plays here and there. We don't ask you to,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: you know, save the day. But they it looks like
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: they got they got themselves a quarterback. That's what it
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: looks like to me. But Morton is playing pretty good too.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: But you know, neither team. You know, maybe week one
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: low you could say UCLA, but I mean, you know
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: that obviously they're not good and they've got their ass
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: kicked anyway. Oregon State's way down this year, so they
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: haven't really played anybody. But it's at Ujah and I
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: just like Utah on this spot. So I'm I'm going
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: with Utah to get the job done. But I think
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: it's a great game. And it's it's a high noon
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: game right Central sense the time, yep. So it's funny
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: ever since Fox brought that back, now all of a sudden,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: we have good games high noon. ESPN's like, oh shit,
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: so you could actually give us a good game. Remember
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: not long ago, the eleven o'clock Windows Central time was
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: just kind of whole home you're hoping for, like good
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: fourth quarters, you know. Yeah, you wait till that two
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: thirty that'shit. Those days are gone, man. But yeah, I
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: like Utah in this spot just because of track record.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, Texas Tech has a lot
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: of talent.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 2: Though I do think that this is a huge spot
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: for Texas Tech. You put together quite a nice team financially,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: but you have had They've always had that magic and
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: allure at and Lubbock. But this is a road game
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: and you're facing one to arguably the best coaches in
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: college football. Like, I know, he's maybe not going to
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: get the accolades and probably never coach at Alabama, but
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: woodn't have a Utah is one of the best guys
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: to ever coach college football. It's just he's maybe not
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: the most popular name. So in this situation, I will
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: take the coach over the talent. It once surprised me
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: of Texas Tech one, but I'll take Utah now that
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: they have a quarterback who they know that a quarterback
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 2: is and does that any drama for like the stuff
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: from last year with the dude that was here for
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: eight and a half years, I'll take I'll take the Utes.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 2: But this could be the best game of the day,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: obnestly out of all potentially could be the best game
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: of the day.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: So curious, too big, kind of like that you know
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Anyway, Iowa State in
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: K State, whoever wins that hasn't up. Whoever win's this
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: has a big up. Yes in that race in the
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: Big twelve, true, yeah, for sure.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: And and if you're Texas Tech and you are trying
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: to make the playoffs this year. This could be all
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: those games like, hey, this is the one put on
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: the resume. If they pulled off, and it kind of
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: maybe shows that they're a legit team, not just a
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: team put together, but they If you would to win
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: to Utah, I don't care who they are, that that's
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: still a hell of a win no matter what.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, I agree. Hold on, sorry about that. Okay.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Miami the Miami the Miami Hurricanes versus Florida one and two.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: Florida by the way, you know you said it, their
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: defense is still fucking good. They're they're only giving up
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: eighty seven rushing yards and they've played people. They they've
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: already played tough teams. Now you can say Miami has
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: two to an extent. We'll see where Notre Dame ends up.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: But they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna contain the run.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: More than likely. It's still a rivalry, you know, Unlike
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: last week with Miami with South Florida coming up that
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: big win, knowing even last year they gave him a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: game of the first half, they kind of knew, all right, dude,
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: this they're not. They got all of a sudden, it's
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: like a target, like they don't. They're not coming in
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: here all lucy goosey, like this team's coming to win.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: And they handled business last week with that. Now we're
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: gonna find out if they can handle business with Florida
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: coming in kind of limp it right now? Will they
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: let their guard down? Now? If you want to get
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: make the college football Playoff, you can't let you guard down.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: You could do it in the SEC and Big ten
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: because there's other big wins to be had and you're
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: just going against better town, you know, on average anyway.
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: But I'm really interested to see what might like. I
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: would not be surprised if this is a winnable game
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: for both, like the games on the table with eight
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: minutes left, because honestly, the game was on the table
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: for Florida last week. It's just lagway. You know, odds
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: are he's not gonna throw four picks on third down
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: seven and a half points. I probably wouldn't touch it
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: either way. I don't think i'd touch it ultimately. I'm
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: I'm I am picking Miami, but this has got some
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: weirdness to it. You know, It's like I said, it's
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: a rivalry game. You're just like, man, I hope they
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: don't screw this up. And also, by the way, are
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: they looking ahead to Florida State? That's next week? By
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the way, oh, actually that's their next game. I don't think.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I think they gotta buy So I think if if
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: Miami is in fact a playoff caliber team, they need
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: to go ahead, even if it's a you know, a
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: field goal, you know whatever. Uh, last year they whooped them.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: A chunk of years ago, they they they lost a
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: really close game. Florida doesn't like to schedule Miami. I
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: don't know why. I mean, right now, they're good, but
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: overall they've been really on, you know, pretty mediocre considering
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: how much talent they have. So but Florida doesn't like
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 1: to do the non conference stuff. But to be fair,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: right now, anyway, they have a tough enough uh you know, schedule.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: But they didn't always have that same schedule but they
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: have now. But yeah, I got I like Miami. But
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just me, uh like a knee jerk reaction
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: because you know, I've been here before, and all of
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: a sudden they lose a game they shouldn't blah, blah blah.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: It's a robbery. We just talked about West Virginia. People
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: get up for it, and now all of a sudden
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: they're coming in. I mentioned it Lucy Goosey like Lagway,
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: people are expecting to throw three picks again. Well, wonder
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't Wonder if he looks like he looked
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: like last year down the stretch. You know, I'm just
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: a little worried. But I wouldn't be. I wouldn't doubt
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: it if it's a if it's a competitive type game, man,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: I really wouldn't.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I as far as porta schedule is, they're not
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: gonna go like, they're not gonna lose all like seven
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 2: hard games in the world. They're gonna win a couple. Okay,
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: there is enough out there. Yeah, there will be that. Hey,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 2: women for the coach or all the players kind of
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: team together, just like last year. Last year they had
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: a Bruce Ketchers. Soon they still find a ways to
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 2: win some games. Obviously, hope it's not against your team,
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: so speakers, right, Cole is that situation. He obviously wants
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: to win, he wants his gams to win. But but
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 2: could you be on the to flip the coin. Could
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: you see that losing again for sure? Like the offense
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: is clearly in kind of a free fall right now.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: So would it make logical sense for Miami to beat
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: the Florida Ganers. Yeah, so I again, this is another
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: kind of flip of the coin matchup. Again, I do
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: think that Miami's offense with the Georgia transferm jonal Blanker
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: now is just it's it's consistent. It's consistent. He's I
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: can get rap, you know back. Yeah, and obviously the
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: defense is made progress. Maybe not quite as much of
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 2: a dress as flip as LSU, but they're playing better football.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: So overall, Hey, I do think that Miami wins. I'm
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: with you. I went touch of seven and a half.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe by six and a half or maybe seven, but
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: that's seven and a half. The year's dying for like
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: a backdoor cover or some crazy play to happen, or hey,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: Miami wins by seven, may you lose by half a point?
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: That'd be a tough bet to lose, my friend.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it really would, it really would. There's other teams,
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: you know, Nebraska, is Nebraska ready to turn the corner? Well,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: they got Michigan coming up. Smu at TCU. We talked
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: about oh Miss and TWU Lane a little bit, ASU Baylor.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Whoever wins that keeps their their hopes alive. Iowa Ruggers
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: at at Rutgers. That's the Fox primetime game. Ruggers have
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: has actually been putting up a lot of points. I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: doubt they'll do that against that Iowa defense, but well,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: they have enough offense. I'm looking at that. I will
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: say this, I am looking at that plus seven with
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: s m U against the spread and going hmm, I wonder,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: you know, if if they can't cover that, and because
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 1: they can move the ball. And they lost the Baylor
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 1: but it was, uh, you know, a very close game
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: that could have went either way obviously. So there are
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: some other kind of game flying under the radar. Michigan,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: at least on the Fox Sports app is two two
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites at Nebraska. So there there's
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: the under the radar. There's they're full of good games,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: man under the radar. Uh.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: The one I'll probably lean to bet towards UCF minus
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: six and a half versus North Carolina. I mean, I
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: don't know shaking that what that that game vers TCU
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: out I don't know, if UCF is a decent team,
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: I feel Carolina maybe you could finish the year better.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: But right now I was still like Carolina on the road.
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: I think that's a pretty nice spot for UCF to
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: maybe get a nice win, just because that that Carolina
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: game vers TCU was not pretty and you can't you
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 2: can't change all that one night either, So I'll be
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: I'll be taking the UCF Knights and versus the my tardios.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: I'm atario basketball fan, never been a football guy.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Sarahcuse plus seventeen versus Clemson. I'm just saying. I'm just saying, okay.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: And then West Virginia plus thirteen and a half, now,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: you know, coming off that big Now it's at Kansas. Well,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: we know Kansas defens isn't all that great, so if
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: they can run the ball and hold the ball, you
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: know that usually bodes well to keep that offense on
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: the on the sidelines. So I don't, I don't know
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: that I'm looking at I haven't, I haven't made you know,
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 1: the these bets per se, but I but I am
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: looking at Quston, West Virginia as as plus numbers, those
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 1: are some of the other two you know, against the
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: spread bets that I keeping an eye on. Also, Dude,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: I just looked at this plus fifteen and a half
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: for Stanford for Virginia. Virginia looks explosive. Stanford just actually
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: pulled off an upset. So I don't know, I'm kind
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 1: of looking at that. I just noticed that, but I
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: haven't put any betdown or anything. How are you thinking
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 1: about your boys? The Trojans USC now seventeen and a
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: half point favorites. That's my last against the spread that
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: I just realized I didn't write down plus seventeen and
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: a half against Michigan State. Michigan State's not where they
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: were five years ago. We know that, but we don't
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: know for a fact of USC's all the way back
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 1: either yet.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Ah, you know they I think USC just really be produce,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: not barely, but they be Purdue by like eighteen. And
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: Purdue is kind of one of those teams that lost
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: like a ton ton of kids from last year. So
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 2: if you be Purdue by eighteen, Sparty's guy bredam purdueing theories.
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. I think that this USC team.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: People say their offense looks nice this year, which is nice,
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: like usual for Lincoln, but they got to play a
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: real team Sparty might be the first kind of test
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: this year, but they still got to get their feet wet,
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: kind of in the the deep riend of the pool.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 2: So I'd be nervous to take them for now, just
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: because I've not seen them at top tier level team
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: quite yet. And I I apologize your wrong numbers. In
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: my head, I thought that Miami was like minus six
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 2: and a half. Their their minus three on ESPN versus Florida.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 2: I had the wrong number. Three. Yeah, yeah, holy yeah,
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I dig that Vegas is telling you to Yeah,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: Miami minus three over under fifty two and a half.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: I'll take the Hurricanes minus three versus Florida at home
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: for sure.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: But at least, you know, at least I'm not way
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: off for being nervous because they have half. That sounds
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: you something.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: God, I had seven in my head, So I apologize
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: to the wrong numbers.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: That's what I've seen. I haven't seen no three. I
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: haven't seen a three.
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 6: So well, damn okay that that that'll be interesting. That yeah, huh,
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 6: that's interesting.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: Is it? Is it that time of the week, my friend?
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: Well, yes, yes it is.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, so the crafty craft picked the week. Hey,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: they got a dub last week. Okay, thank you, f
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: I U. They may have one of the worst basketball
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: programs in the country, but that doesn't matter. We're talking
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: college football and my boy got off the schneid. So
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: we are going to the sun Belt, the sun Belt.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah all right. So a couple weeks ago, I got
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: to saying country roads take me home. Now I get
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: to reference. I guess just I'm just gonna make this
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: segment about me this year in my personal favorite stuff,
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 2: and let you pick this week. I'm going to a
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: school we're arguably one of my No, I'm not arguably
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: my favorite. For a player of all time played there
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: that was not a quarterback. Randy Moss, a good old
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: farm boy from West Virginia. His Marshall Thundering Herd are
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: going to Middle Tennessee play to play the Blue Raiders.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 2: The game is that six pm is on ESPN Plus.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: It's on September twentieth. The Marshall Herd are one and two.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: The Middle Testy Blue Raiders are one and two. The ESPN.
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw this on you phone, see I throw
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 2: it on me. The ESPN analytics matchup predictor. I think
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: they've changed the name a little bit. Shows that they
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 2: have They have a sixty nine chance that the Marshall
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 2: Thundering Herd win the game. But the spread, Chris is
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 2: only Marshall heard on the road as three and a
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: half point favorites. I'll tell you what, the the alumni
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: battle is not going to be close this week. I'll
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: let you go to the football game first.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: Well, you know this new Fox Sports. Uh, they've they've
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: really added to their game matchup stuff because I got
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 1: head to head all of a sudden. Now that some
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: of this stuff dates way back to like eighteen and
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: all that. Sure, the last time that they played was
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 1: in twenty one and it was thirty four to twenty
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: eight Middle Tennessee. But there's been some there's been some
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: tight games in here. Okay. So, and they have this
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: stat that says the quarterback Zion Turner didn't throw a
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 1: pass in a victory against Eastern Eastern Kentucky. That's kind
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: of crazy. They won thirty eighty seven. I'm assuming he
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: got in there late. Nope, that's their starting quarterback. Okay,
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: So they won a game Marshall where he was oh
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: for oh, that's crazy, dude, that is crazy. I got
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: a note that for for whoever hell that was if
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: they make it in there. But you know, Marshall, when
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: you're up at twenty one point seven points per game,
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good offensively, okay, whereas Middle Tennessee only twelve
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: point seven. They're passing the ball pretty well, but they
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 1: only rushed the ball for sixty yards a game and
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: they give up a buck sixty eight, whereas you know,
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: on the flip side, one seventy seven per game, and
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 1: Marshall's done pretty good at stopping the run. Now, the
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 1: old way to that I would pick these games is
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: look who they played in the non conference, okay, and
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 1: if they played a better team to kind of get
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 1: them used to it, that's what I would go with. Well,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: Middle Tennessee played Wisconsin, they were a plus twenty eight
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 1: and a half. They lost forty two to ten. However,
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: in the first game of the season, Marshall went against Georgia.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: Now they get their ass whooped, but they win against Georgia, okay,
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: And to me, if you can win a game without
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: throwing a ball, that's pretty good to me. And also
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: they are and they have the third most sacks n
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: D one. That's enough for me. Wow, it's enough for me.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: I have the Randy Moss lead. No, I they'd be
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: they'd have a better spread. Marshall thundering herd going with Marshall,
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: my friend. Let's see if we can get it going.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 1: And then it is what forty six and a half
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: something like that?
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was just a let me see over. Under
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 2: is forty seven and a half.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going under.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: To quote to quote a super Bowl home boy. Uh,
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: the alumni battle will be the quickest one of all time.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: Randy Moss is my favorite college phil player of all time.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: Him and Philip Rivers, those those are my boys. And
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: today we're not talking about Philip Rivers and when he stayed,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: it's all about Randy so and thankfully he's doing well
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: this year in cancer free and love seeing that guy
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: in ESPN's game show, So automatic Marshall the winner. Sorry
