  Speaker 3: Where'd you get a Houston hat?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Oh? Sweet sixteen when they played in Kansas City?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that game is a little bit closer than
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: should have been. We can talk about that another time though.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: How much of it did you watch?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Zero? I couldn't get second TV to work.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Such a true fan.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: When we're seeing her.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Jackson, you were at the game? Did you go to
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the game? You didn't go to the game.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: I did not go to the game, Nope, but stay
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: at home huge win.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Talked about it Sunday. I wanted to get your thoughts
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: on the Colorado game. Normally, you know, we want to
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: move on, but I think for this occasion we can
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: rewind a little bit, talk a little Colorado.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: If we're jumping into you and.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I, yeah, I thought, honestly, my honest opinion, I thought
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: you'll switch a rude committing to Nebraska. Good job. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: thought that it's pretty close to masterpiece. To be honest
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: with you, I know that the second half for a
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: lot of fans left more to be desired. But you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: until you've been in that situation where you have a
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: big lead at halftime. Wait, you know the first thing
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: that popped in my mind at halftime was okay, So
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a smart coach when they take over a program, I think, goes, okay,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: what did the last if the last coach struggled, what
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: did the last coach do that didn't work? And you
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: know a lot of times, what did they do that
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: did work? So you know, if you think that Rule
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: didn't doesn't know that we've had some leads like that
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: slip away before. And you know he's here to restore
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the program and and you know, build his brand up.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: There's a there's a that's a lot of pressure going
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: in the second half for those for for Rule especially
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and the coordinators. So you know, I the best thing
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: that happened was that, you know, in the second half,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: it showed some things that we need to work on.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: And uh, you know, now Rule can Rule can tighten
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: up the leash a little bit in terms of what's
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: going to fly in that program. What's acceptable, It's not acceptable.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So I think big picture it it was really good
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: for the program and and uh, you know all the things.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: You know, I don't care how good Colorado is. I
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: don't care if they win another game. Okay, we we
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: haven't won a game like that and how long you know.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: So I think it was a fantastic win for us.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I think it got the fan base excited, and it
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: was a good step and excited to assue we got
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: going forward.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he made the comment on Monday about being a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: winning team and then now needing to move to a
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: championship level team. So I mean, I don't know, we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: got win. I don't know if you'd call us a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: winning football team, but clearly we've lost a ton of
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: one score games in the past few years, previous coaching
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: staff in last year, and I'm with you. Winning that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: game the way it did, yeat wasn't pretty, but actually
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for the rest of the season, it's probably better. It
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: keeps us hungry, Like you said, it keeps everybody locked
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: in the Other thing that I'm curious moving forward now
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: and this will be hopefully a story the next few weeks.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: How are we going to handle winning as a program.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I think that goes for everybody all the way from players, coaches, fans, media, everywhere.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: How do we handle winning?
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And we don't know the answer to that because we
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: really haven't done it in a long time, but we
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: know how it used to be and so that'll be
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: curious to see how this plays out over the next
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: few weeks if we continue to win football games.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: That's what you just asked, right there is why I
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: think Rule came out and there were some obvious things
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: we could have improved on, but you know, it's as
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: a coach, it's never good enough. You know, once you had,
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: once you had climbed that mountain, Okay, where's the next
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: mountain to climb? So that's that's why I think there
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: was a lot of things that that happened in that
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: game and a lot of circumstances that played out that
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: really I mean, if you respond the right way, I
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: think can uh, you know, can really set you up
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: pretty good. So you know that that's the That's why
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: I think Rule came out and challenged his guys because
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: he he he kind of I think he thinks we've
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: got a better football team, or we can win some games,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: or we can maybe go out and accomplish some of
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: our goals as a team. And how you do that
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: is you continued to day by day constantly improve. So
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: I think that I think that you know, it was.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: It was a great win for a lot of reasons.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: I don't care what Colorado does the rest of the year,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: so you know, I mean, we played Northwestern in Iowa
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: or in Ireland a few years back and that was
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: their only winter of the years, so you know, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: they they were pretty fired up about that win. So
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: you know, you take it when you can get it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: That was a big time stage. You know, over six
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: million people watched, and you know, you got a lot
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: of good momentum in the program after that win, no
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: matter if you win it by forty like some people
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: think we should have, or you win it by one,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: and there's a lot of good momentum, a lot of
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: a lot of excitement in the program.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Act you.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I was texting our group and we're ranked twenty third,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth. I think big game boomer how to sit
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: in like thirteenth, and some national media outlets said Nebraska
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: could legitimately be number one if they come out of
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Columbus with the win if they're eight and zer I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: texted that to the group and Dak You were like,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: people need to calm down after obviously just beating UTEP
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in Colorado. Like there's a lot of hype, there's a
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: lot of talk, and I think the focus that rule
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in team needs to continue to be day by day
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: no matter who you're playing.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you the media does need to calm down a
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, you haven't made a bowl game in five
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: to sixty it's six years, right anyway, you haven't made
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: a ball game a long time. They need to calm down.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: You've won two games. I mean, come on, you can't.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: You can't be talking about in six weeks down the road.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Will be ranked number one. You got to win any
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: game you can right now.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I'd be a little worried about this week with
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: how the programs looked the last couple of years.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: This you can't count to win in your book on
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: any team.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I was hopefully at the beginning of the year
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: counting UTEP and Northern Iowa's wins no matter what, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: because I had them, and I think at eleven and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: twelve of my most important just because I'm like, we
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: should beat these teams.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: We took care of business against UTEP.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I am fascinated, I guess, and maybe it's because we
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: are too. And o I'm just fascinated by the amount
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: of national conversation that there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Is not so much Nebraska guys.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: We know how that's gone over the years, but you
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: do you start to just hear people talk, and I
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: think that honestly strives from everybody wants to see Nebraska
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: be good. Not everybody, but most people in the country
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: want to see Nebraska football get back there. So they're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: going to create storylines and headlines where they can and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: when they can, and right now is a great chance
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: to do it because we're doing.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Oero, I go ahead, dak.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: The main thing is you look good. You look really good.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Are the best you've ever looked in a while. Like
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: you said, everyone wants their brask to be good. Their
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: their blue blood, everyone's they haven't been around in a
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: long time. It makes cult all better when their brass
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: is good. Same with Notre Dame, Michigan, all those teams.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: It makes Colle foot lot more fun to watch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Everybody.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: Everybody members Nebraska back in the eighties and nineties, all
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the people do and that was the main team everyone
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: watched and.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma's Olcahoma's blue blush.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I here's here's what I think, guys. I mean, how
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: could I mean, if we don't respond the right way,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: we're not gonna win anyway. So the media attention and
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: all the hype, I mean, it's it's a good thing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: You know, you're getting momentum for your program. You know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: you see you know that that's how you start, That's
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: how you start turning the tides. You start getting momentum.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: And so you know, if they handle it the right
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: way and they respond the right way, it should be
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a really really positive thing. And you know, another thing
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: that I'll throw in there, a little bit of a
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: reason why people are more hyped. Obviously, we've a guy
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: that we think is a really good quarterback. And you know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: when you get the quarterback right things, it's crazy how
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: much stuff goes your way. I mean, you get more calls,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: it seems. You know, when you get the quarterback, that's
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: really important. But you know, I feel like the difference
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: between us being rated, us being rated now and US
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: being rated back in two thousand Okay.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: We kind of earned this.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: We want to We weren't rated at the start of
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: the season. We want to remember the last time we
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: were rated, we went four and eight and then we're
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: preseason rated top twenty five and then didn't play very
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: well against so we kind of earned It's a little
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: bit different feel. I feel like we earned this a
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: little bit. And you know, what do you want him
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: to do? You want him to schedule a you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: SEC team midweek so we can prove it. No, that's
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: who we had on our schedule, and you know, we
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: took care of business. So I feel like we earned
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: it being being rated a little bit more than you
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: know in twenty nineteen. And boy, if you can get
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: some momentum, and momentum is a crazy thing. If you
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: can get momentum that get some confidence and handle it
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the right way, it should it should be a positive
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: for the program.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: And Rule said had a great line on Monday when
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: was asked about the rankings. He just said, they want
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to be higher than our rankings. Like it's great to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: be rated, that's awesome, we earned it, but we want
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to be higher than where we're at.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: So I did.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Moving on to that press conference on Monday. I found
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: some really good things that Rule said, and Jackson, you
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: were texting me about it too, But it, he said,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: had some really good quotes in there. The best one,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I'm wearing a shirt on you guys can see it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Cakes and eggs and cakes and eggs and football.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I get that shirt.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Made it good old mules down right down the street
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and be actress. So that was a great one. But
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: he just continues to talk about corrections and having the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: worst special team performance in a long time. Like he
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: is looking at that game and going, Okay, you do
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that in a one score game. We're losing like we
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: have in the past. The blocked punt, the missed field goal.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: He knows that those things matter a lot. It's not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: oh my gosh, okay, overlook those because we looked really
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: good every other part of the game. No, like, there's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that's only to be corrected, and
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: we have a lot of games to focus on those things.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It's not like we're going to go dive deep into
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: some of these bigger games that we're gonna see later
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: in the year against Wisconsin and Iowa.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: So I just like his mindset right now, like we
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: didn't know.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: We we haven't seen Nebraska coaches win, and Broston obviously didn't.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Which shout out to your anniversary today of Scott Frost
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: getting fired.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Rest of peace, Scott, congrats on your new coaching gig.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: I gonna.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He did not get very many wins here, so we
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: didn't see how he reacted.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Rule.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, last year we had a couple, but not a.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Big win like this, so we didn't know how he
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: respond And I think the way he responded is such
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: a positive thing for the future of the program. It
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: just means a lot when you come out and say
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: those things and frame the media, the fans, and then
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: most importantly, your players' minds to winning the next day,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: the next practice, and then the next week.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Yep, I thought, I thought, I love listening to Matt Rultalk.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: I just think he's I think he says a lot
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: of the right things. I think he you know, Okay,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: any smart coach, like I said earlier, is going to
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: go Okay. What did the last coach not do a
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: great job of? Okay, Frost was kind of unapproachable. He
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: didn't want to Okay, so I'm going to be really
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: good in that area. Well, duh, and he just he's
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: really good at that. He's good, you know, he's good
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: at you know, lightening the mood when the mood needs
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: to be lightened. And you know, I was really what
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: fires me up kind of most about this game. I
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: was really happy that after the game, when he got
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: interviewed on NBC, he wasn't he wasn't critical of the team.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: He goes, twenty eight to ten. I know that's ugly
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to some, it's beautiful to me. And he goes go
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: big red at the end, and then he watches the
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: film and then the next day comes back he said, Okay,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: all right, that's over. Now here's the stuff we got
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: to buckle down and work on because it's going to hurt.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Okay, we all know this. Okay, you got a twenty
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: eight lead, twenty eight zero lead going into halftime. Okay,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: it's we all know that. It's it's hard to stay
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: locked in and focused and do all the little things
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: right when you got a big lead like that, you're
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: super excited. You're on a huge high, and you got
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: to I mean, you got a four score cushion. I mean,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: so some of that stuff I think can be fixed.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: Just by focus, like you've got to focus for four
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: quarters of the game. I really think that because you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: the block punt. Bill Bush last night was on Big
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Big Red Wrap Up and talked about, you know, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: block punt and was other special couple of the other
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: special teams theres he said, some of those are just
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: the block punt he said, was just a was that
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: that doesn't it was a big body guy that got
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: in there all the way to the punter. That rarely happens.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: So you know, I think that you know, if anything,
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: you you tune up the focus there when you have
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: a lead, and so that's I think. I just think
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: it's a great learning experience. I thought Rule said everything
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: I wanted to hear him say.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, that's our defense showed up still the second
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: half like they played a complete four quarter game against
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: as Rule mentioned, probably the best quarterback in skill player
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: combo that we're going to see the rest of the year.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Now, the offensive line, I.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Don't know, but for that, for those pieces like it,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: we did a damn good job four quarters of defending
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: them and help them ten points. Like I don't think
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: many teams are going to be able to do that
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the rest of the year, and.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: People got, aren't you guys glad that you guys don't
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: have a coach that blast their offensive line and everything
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: the press conference.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: And quarterback Yeah yeah, I.
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: Mean Shaudor goes out there and he's like, he just
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: lights up the offensive line all this stuff. Shud not. Deon's
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: done the same thing, like multiple times they've left.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: The offensive line.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: It's like those guys would be like, what the fuck
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: like out that locker room has to be terrible. And
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: I thought you guys should have hired dian back a
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: year ago when the guys had ruled I was wrong.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: I'm clear off his train now. I think his locker
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: room shot. I don't think he can rebound at all.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Where do you think he's gonna end up back, if anywhere.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I think he's gone all right after this year, no
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: matter what.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: But by force or his choice, his choice.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I think goes. I don't think coaches anymore. I think
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: goes to ESPN.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I think it. I think it'll be portrayed like it's
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: his choice, but it's not really his choice. I think
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: wherever should Or gets an opportunity out at the next level,
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I think he'll be helping there.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: In suff capacity. That my thought.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I think that that I think that he'll be told, hey,
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: you need to find something else to do it. Last night,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: I'm big Red rap again. Sean Calliyan said, the most
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: interesting thing with this Deon Sanders thing is how is
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: it going to end? And I was like, wow, that
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: is great. Yeah, how is it gonna end? Is he
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: gonna they're gonna I mean what if he wants to
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: stay there and are they going to fire him? You know?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing Colorado Like, It's not like
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Colorado's has aspirations. I mean, everybody wants to but to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: be a coulturable playoff team, right, Like they haven't been
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: there traditionally in the past, so I mean going four
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and eight and five and seven is what they're used to.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: So yeah, that's not great. But I mean the amount
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: of money.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: That he's bringing into the program, Like, you can't tell
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: me Colorado doesn't like that. Now, if it doesn't ever
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: come with wins, I'm not sure how that plays out.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So I'm with you, though, I think he's gonna follow
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: his kids to the NFL.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think though you're you're going today Colorado's ranked two.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: That's right, great point. And you know, you hear so
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: many crazy things out of there. You know, where there's smoke,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: there's usually fire. But probably some of the stuff we
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: hear isn't true. You know, He's probably you know, just
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: think about think about the rumors we heard about Scott Frost. Okay,
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: if Scott Frost was doing the stuff that the rumor
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: said he was doing, okay, that that would have got
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: out like legit. So you know that you gotta kind
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: of take whatever you hear about that Colorado program with
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: a grain of salt a little bit. But yeah, I'm
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I'm glad we hired Matt Ruhle.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: S all right, Well, Week three we played the Northern
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Iowa Panthers FCS ranked number twenty one. They are to
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and oh they have beaten Valpariso and last week they
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: beat Saint Thomas, Minnesota seventeen to ten. They're out of
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the Missouri Valley Conference. We are I think twenty seven
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites right now. I've seen anywhere
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: from twenty five to thirty. This game is I will
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: say this, like the Monday press conference, there wasn't much
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: of you and I talk and we just spent half
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the podcast talking about the last week.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's a trap game, but.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: There are a lot of reasons why we could come
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: out and maybe be a little flat.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And I hope and I've been wrong. I'm over too
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: on predictions and scores and how I think the game
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is going to go. But I hope I'm wrong on
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: that too, and we come out and just kick their ass.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: But what we do know about Northern Iowa is there
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: going to be a good preview for our Big Ten teams.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: As some of the position coaches came on and said that,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: and hearing the players talk about them here today. They
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: run the ball and they're gonna grind, grind it out.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: They're going to use their offensive line. They have some
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: damn good running backs. I think they're starting running back.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Ty Edwards is a six four to two thirty like,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he's a big dude.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Averages averaged.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: He's averaged one hundred and sixty yards a game the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: first two games. He's he's gonna be it's gonna be
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a tough guy to tackle. And they have a couple
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: other guys they're backup bringing backs averaging close to one
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: hundred yards a game.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: So they're gonna run it a lot.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: They think they've ran for six hundred yards in the year,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: They've only passed for two hundred in the year. Like
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: that tells you what they're gonna do, what they believe in.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: The interesting thing that I saw when I was looking
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: them up, they brought it. They tried to bring in
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator that then the left and the
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: thought was that even they were going to run the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: air raid coming into the year, and then he left.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: And I don't know who their current OC is, but
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: they're ground and pound in it. Head coach Mark Farley
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth season. He's the second active winning his coach
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in the FCS one hundred and eighty and one hundred
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: and three, and they four due assistants. So it's a
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: head coach has been around a lot, and it's had
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: a barely successful program at the FCS level. And we
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna be at least early on one of
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: these games is going to be a grinded out, probably
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: gonna run the clock down, but you would hope that
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: we'd come in and be obviously have better players than
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: them in the long run.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Anybody watched their Valpo film, No, I haven't yet. I
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: watched it the last two days. This is this is
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: uncharacteristic of me to say, and you'll you can vouch
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: for me, hunter, But I think that I think we'll
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: punish them up front. I really do. I mean if
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: you look at go look at the Valpo guys they're
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: playing against. Go look at them. Okay, in Saint Thomas,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: who they beat in game one, was a Division two
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: school a year ago, Okay, and they beat him by
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: what seventeen? Did?
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: They didn't blow them out, They didn't blow them.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: The Valpole guys look like high school guys some of
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: they are, and the and guess what, they're getting pressure
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: on the you and I quarterback. Here's another thing to remember, Okay,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: if you're worried about their big backs, just remember remember
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: one thing. Back in twenty twenty one, Okay, who we
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: went on the road at Michigan State and played Kenneth
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Walker Junior, the best running back in the country Heisman
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Can and whipped him. And guess what, Okay, Ty Robinson
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: was a starter on that team, Okay. Uh Nashutmaker was
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: in the mix, and so was Jamari Butler and and
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: we were really good that game. Stopped and runs. So
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: I think physically, you've got to give Nebraska a huge advantage,
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: and I I guess, I guess I feel confident now
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: watching what we did against Colorado and watching what we
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: did against UTEP. But I think I think physically we
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I think physically we have a huge, huge advantage. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: and I know we didn't tell the coaches didn't talk
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: about You and I a ton but they but they
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: did talk about you know, Tony White said we were
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: the best defense in the country on Saturday, know were
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: the worst on Tuesday. So I think that I believe this.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I think rule and I think Tony White, and I
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: think that whole staff have a pretty good grasp, you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: to say that. If somebody asked me my score prediction
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: for the You and I game, I almost don't want
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: to say it. I almost don't want to give it
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: because it's stupid. Just go win the game. So but
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: but I think that we are superior in a not
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: saying we can't get beat, not saying that that we
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: can't come out there and look flat, and not saying
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: that we're not Hopefully we take it seriously. But but
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: I mean to watch the watch the Valpo film, or
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: watch the on YouTube, just YouTube. I mean there we
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: should be able to physically kick their butts.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Dak.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: You said you haven't watched the film yet. Are you
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: gonna go turn that on?
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's actually on the dock at next I got that.
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: I'm up on night watching that. But but this is
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: by far the worst quarterback you're gonna I haven't watched tape,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: so I don't know what he looks like. But stats wise,
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: my father worst quarterback are gona play all year. This
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: is Rockylumbardy level of quarterback player. You're gonna have that
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: beorseback I've saw play you guys ever, probably that's but
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: this guy might be up there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: He sucks.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah one so didn't.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: He at Michigan State or State and then he went
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: to Northern Illinois Illinois? Yeah, yeah, quarterback is aiden done.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: He's a six ft six pounds junior. They did get
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: a transfer from Arkansas State, and I think that was
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: their guy they wanted to sling it around with in
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: their air raid that they didn't end up doing.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: But he's their backup Jackson Daily.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm with you, dackase stats aren't great, but
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I also think that just speaks to how they play.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And I mean what Jackson said too.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: They they aren't superior enough to even these bad teams.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: They can just go blow them out. They know how
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: to win games, and this coach has proven to do it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: But I think just from a talent perspective, we've never
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: played you and I by the way, first time playing him.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: We played several f c S schools in the past.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: We've just physically dominated them from the get go. Now,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: there are some cold FCS schools out there, for sure.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: South Dakota State I think they were like a nine
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: point dog Week one against Oklahoma State. Oklahoma State took
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: care of business at North Dakota State obviously has had
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: their moments recently. Hex South Dakota just gave Wisconsin a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: run for their money last week. So there's some good
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: ones out there, and this is a ranked FCS team.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: But I'm with you. I think up front, especially the
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: way our d line has been playing, I mean, it's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be hard for them to move the ball on
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: us at all. And it starts with Nash and Tye
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: and Jamari and those guys like Tony WHI said, and
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: we all talked about it too, when you can get
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: pressure with rushing those three or four guys, Think about
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: how much that opens up on the back end to
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: be able to have more guys in coverage one, but
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: then just force more turnovers. And we on that here
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: during a couple of games, which we haven't done.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: In the past.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: So I'm with you on the end of the ball,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: like it should be very hard for them to score
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: and our defense should be upset if we give up
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: more than ten points.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Like now, I will all end with I'll tailor with
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: this on the flip side of that. In twenty ten,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: South Dakota State came into Memorial Stadium and gave us
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: a scare. And I mean that twenty ten. That's the
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: preseason rated number five team. We had Krick on the
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: D line. I think we had I can't remember who
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: else was on the on the blanket to the other deal,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: but we had a good team in twenty ten and
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: they gave us a scare. I think we won seventeen
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: thirteen and there was a I believe there was a
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: long run touchdown or long pass touchdown called back that
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: I mean, you get it was interesting. So if we're
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: ready to go, if we handle it, if we handle
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: the hype the right way, and I hope, I think
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: we'll take care of business.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And McNee State was the other one few years back
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: with a mirror Yeah, basically saving us there at the
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: end of regulation. On that I don't know.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: He broke like six tackles in one play. So like
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it's happened, like we've seen it happen for sure. This
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: team just seems to have a little bit different mindsets
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: when it comes to that. So flipping to the other
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: side of the ball, our offense against their defense. Their
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: defense only returns two starters on a unit that was
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: not great last year. The words that I've been seeing
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: is the ben don't break type of defense and Saturdfi'll
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: talk about how we're gonna to put together ten, twelve,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: thirteen play drives to go down and score. Now, I
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's just coach speak and expecting that's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna have to do, or if talent is
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: truly gonna win out. I'll be what I'm curious on
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: that side of the ball is how are we going
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: to come into the game. What mindset are we gonna
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: let Dylan come out and throw it for three hundred
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: and fifty yards, Like, is that gonna be the mindset?
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Is it gonna be get our running back going? Like
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to build some confidence here in
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: our offense that came off quote unquote not great second half,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: not scoring any points? Like what's the style going to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: look like against Northern Iowa? Are we gonna be over
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: aggressive or like, I don't know, I'm I'm predicting that
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we might let our offense loose a little bit, but
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: that could lead the mistakes. I'm curious because like everything
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: points that that probably won't happen. But if you're trying
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to build confidence, sometimes the best way to do that
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: is against a team like that and kind of just
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: let them go play, more so than keeping the reins
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: in on a team that you think you can be.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Definitely just aired out this game. I mean you you
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: could run up and down the field on them all.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: You can do what everyone on this team.
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna be close at all. I
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: think you can do whatever you want. It does not matter.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I hope you're right, Dak.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: I don't. I can't say that definitively I hope you're right,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: but yeah, I don't. I'm I'm with you, Hunter, I
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: wonder what the what the I mean. Obviously you're gonna
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: put a game plan in play that is going to
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: give you the best chance to win, right probably against
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: a team like that where you feel like you're physically superior.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Probably that that boats to the run game a little
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: bit more and you know, run blocking and downhill runs.
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: That probably is kind of that type of game. But
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: you know, I I hope it gets to a point
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: where you might see some stuff that that we're gonna
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: work on, depending on what the coaching staff thinks we
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: need in the future. And that's kind of a stupid
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: thing to say, because I'm the one that's saying, Hey,
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: just win the game. Do whatever you gotta do to
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: win the game. But you know, hopefully gets to I
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: think you want to see Ryola aired out a little bit,
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: you know, so he can show that a little bit.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Get comfortable with that, I know, you know. The coaches
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: were rule talked about being disappointed with the receivers and
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: rule set in the In the second half against Colorado,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: they called a couple of shot plays and the receivers
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: weren't where they're supposed to be. Dylan was trying to
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: go downfield and they weren't there, so, you know, and
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: then so I would I would I picture a game
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: where we start off, you know, hopefully get out to
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: it to a lead, get get uh you know, get comfortable,
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: not get comfortable, but but but gain control early and
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: then hopefully you know, it's a game where you can
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: you know, kind of try to knock off knock the
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: rust off of some things that you want to work on.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: I hope, I mean that's a perfect world. Now win
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: the game. But but you know, I think I think
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: maybe you want to see you know, those you know
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: banks and they or maybe get involved in Fidoni, get
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: involved a little bit more in the in the pass attack,
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: just to just to work on it and and and
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: when live bullets are flying. I hope we can do that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: But but but like you said, it's it's confusing or
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: it's you don't know what they're gonna come out and do,
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: because you would automatically you think, oh, we're bigger, more physical, strong, Okay,
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: we're gonna run downhill. So yeah, it'll it'll be interesting.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: But another element to that is how much like you
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: tep how much do you put on tape for some
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: of these other bigger games? Indeed, offensively do you keep
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: it very vanilla and just And if you do that right,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: you're putting together a game plan and you're not putting
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: in maybe some of the plays that you want to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: run later on or on the flip side, you do
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: try to run some of those so you have a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: chance to work on them. I mean as a basketball coach,
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: like games that you know you think you can win,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: there's two ways of going about that, right. You can
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: you can work on a lot of your sets and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: and practice them, or you can just say nope, we're
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna run any of them and we're just gonna
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: run motion offense and let it go. Like there's a
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: lot of different ways to approach it. I mean, like
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: what you said, Dak, I don't you don't think it'll
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: matter in the outcome of the game. So that's kind
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: of what I'll be looking for, Like what's the strategy
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and style that we play with on Saturday, because I
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: think it can go a lot of ways. And yeah,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I think for confidence wise, like Padoni, we need if
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: you know, we want him to have an impact and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: make some big plays later in the year, Like it'd
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: be nice to see him get going a little bit
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: from the running back side of things too. It's only
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: two now on the depth chart. It's Rameiror listed first
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: with an Or with Dante Daldell and then the other two.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: But it's not like those other two are out of
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: the picture. You know, Emma's gonna get third down touches.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Gabe right now is called the like the goal line,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the power back, but they want to find a way
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: to get him on the field more so, there's still
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: four viable running backs. But I do think that was
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: interesting they changed in the ors this week.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know it's always best in my opinion too.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: You want to get some of those guys going and
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: get him some confidence, but you want to do it organically.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: You know, if you're if you're forced feeding Fidoni, if
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: you're folks feeding those receivers or or Barney or whoever.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: You know, it's that's not really real, you know, So
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: you'd like to see it happen organically within the flow
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: of the offense. And you know, if you're if you're
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: calling plays for hey, let's try to get this guy going,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: let's try to get that. Usually doesn't work, but yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: it would be interesting.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: There is one thing North Line's got for him, though.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: They get to come here and get beat the Shreds.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Then they're going to Hawaii next week.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Heyy, and then you have a little vacation.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: But they're looking ahead, look ahead.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, we will see how the game goes.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: We'll have the tailgate pod on Saturday to give the
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: score predictions. Dak, Dak, it is time for your picks.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: You you at seven and eight last week, bad week.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I think I start out four and oh my first
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: four and then it wasn't It wasn't a terrible week.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I missed a couple by like two or three points.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: But your rebound you're fifteen and fifteen and one overall.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: You did not hit your lock of the Colorado of
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Nebraska over.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a I forgot about the block. I might
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: find one real quick here, okay, held up, all right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: got one?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Well, you're technical called time as thirty seconds, but I
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: want you to actually say him this time so people
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: can understand you. So if you go over thirty seconds,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: it's okay, but slow down a little bit.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: You ready, Yeah, here we go.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Kansas minus seven, k State minus seven, LSU minus seven,
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Memphis plus six and a half, North Texas plus nine
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: and a half, Boston College plus sixte and a half.
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: That's my locke right there, Oregon State plus sixteen, Oklahoma
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: minus thirteen and a half, tex A and M minus
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: three and a half, Kentucky plus twenty four. Nebraska you
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: told me as minus thirty, so whatever it does.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Now take that.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: But I took minus thirty Virginia plus two and a half,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: BYU minus eleven, TCU plus two and a half.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Hey, I want to ask you that too. Have you
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: ever just put like a one dollar parlay on all those?
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: You should do that sometimes. No, that'd be electric.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: I might as Wenna lie light a dollar on fire.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: You know what, we'll do it. We'll do this Saturday.
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: There's there's a couple that I didn't hear that I liked.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Trying to find where I've been keeping my notes this week,
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: but we'll call them the thirteen and a half. No,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: I do like the case State one mostly going to that.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: That should be fun.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: What was it?
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Memphis plus six and a half?
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Jackson likes that one.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: The Boston College one. I really like they They look
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: good this year. I know they're playing Missouri, but at Missouri.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I Bosa College looks pretty freaking good.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: The quarterback.
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: For fifty years, Missouri's played nobody, so it's hard to
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: tell what they what they are yet.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: But did you have Oregon State organ on there at all?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Yep? Oregon State plus whatever they were?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah sixteen, That one I think is my favorite so
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: far this week. Like, Oregans looked awful, not great at all,
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: but maybe they've been saving everything for this game.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was a couple of shaky ones that Colorado
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: minus seven. I like that, but they also could be
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: just awful. We'll find out.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: How about the slate this week? Isn't it a good one?
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: No? The best one is the one you're going to.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas State Arizona.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Oh did you have the backyard brawl on theresurgh?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Eat?
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: Shit?
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: I did not?
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I did?
• 35:39
  Speaker 5: I did didn't want touch that. Both those teams are
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: not very good. What you got on that one?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I don't have anything yet.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: The other game that I thought was low considering how
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: bad they played last week, And maybe you had this
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: in there with Georgia's only a twenty four point favorite
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: against Kentucky.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I had Kentucky plus twenty four.
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Kentucky looked absolutely awful last week.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: See, I have an NCC teams within twenty four.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I usually take it at home. I didn't watch it
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: lick of Kentucky, so that could be way off.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You'll prep you right Survivor picks. So just to remind
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: everybody else works Dak, Austin and I are picking four
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: teams every week. They have to win out right. You
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: cannot use them again after you take them. So it's
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: similar to an NFL one, but you do have to
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: take four since there's obviously a lot more teams. Dak said,
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: this might be the last easy week to pick. Yeah,
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: since Austin's not on and Jackson you can be our
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: analysis guy here.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Austin has Michigan State.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: I think they're playing Austin p Northwestern No Idea who
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: they're playing Presno State, and then.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: San Jose State.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: And the one thing I know is with Austin's picks
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: is the spreads aren't great. San Jose State's playing Kannesas
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: State is at nineteen. I say, not great, but they're
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: still a lot, and then Presno State is playing New
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Mexico State. It's in nineteen and a half polat spread too.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: My picks.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I'm taking Auburn. I think this might be the last
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: week that I could probably take them. I'm also taking
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: Michigan State. I'm taking a Thursday night game south of
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: Alabama's playing Northwestern State. I think they're like thirty seven
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: point favorites. And then I'm taking where they at Western Michigan.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I got to use up on my Michigan school, so
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I can't remember who they're playing. Oh, they're playing Butthune Cookman,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: and I just remember I have memories of Buttune Cookman
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: from a few years ago, how horrible they were and
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: how tiny they were. That ask kicker. I hope he's
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: still there.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Wasn't that Frostpers win seventy to nine. Yeah, schedule the
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: mid season.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You guys have been a small kicker a little time, dude.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, I probably went too heavy hitter here.
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: I got Nebraska, Tennessee, I won Texas. The Raska plays
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: you guys know, they play Tennessee plays Kent State, Iowa
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: plays Troy, and Texas plays Utsa.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: So I was curious when you sent those to me too,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: like you did go heavy hitter, and I'll be very like,
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: I think Austin somewhere in the middle, you've been pretty
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: heavy hitter, and I've been very like picking all these
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: small schools that I don't think are ever going to
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: win after they play these SCS schools. So like, we'll
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: see how it plays out what's left, because it's it's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: gonna get I think tight.
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: Once we get to weeks ten, eleven, twelve, I.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Guarantee them won't be able to Iowa again. This. I'm
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: worried about them losing to Troy. This this for sure.
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: Last week you can use them confidently.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: All right, don't get pod Saturday two and oh about
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: to be three and oh hopefully fingers crossed, shouldn't speak
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: too soon, Go be red, go be read.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: See you guys Saturday.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: This one's for you, Hunter Bomer sooner.
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: That that that
