- 0:30SPEAKER_01: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back for another fun episode of The Mike Blitz.
- 0:34SPEAKER_01: I'm your host, Mike Wade, co-host over there, Darren Stedman and Mark Franzen.
- 0:38SPEAKER_01: Gentlemen, so good to see you.
- 0:40SPEAKER_01: Right for some fun, right for some gamesmanship.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: We do we watch them compete a lot.
- 0:44SPEAKER_01: I'm glad that we get to compete as well.
- 0:47SPEAKER_01: That's naturally what we all are here on this podcast, is we're all just competitors.
- 0:51SPEAKER_01: So excited we had a chance to get a little bit of that.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: With that, I'm gonna turn it over to you, Darren, the maestro of this evening.
- 0:58SPEAKER_01: Let it rip.
- 0:59SPEAKER_00: Yep, it's been all of about 16 hours since college football.
- 1:03SPEAKER_00: So it's time to look ahead to next week already and get excited for the slate ahead for week, is it week number six already?
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: Oh that's what's happening.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Week six.
- 1:16SPEAKER_00: Goodness, goodness.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: So looking ahead to week six, first of all, let's see how we did last time.
- 1:20SPEAKER_00: Now, just as soon as I said to you guys, if somebody gets a perfect score, I will send you a fun little something.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: Well, we've got two guys who submitted some answers, and I'm gonna say that they are on the doorstep of a perfect score because our sixth question, as you're soon to find out, is not quite complete.
- 1:45SPEAKER_00: Our sixth question last week was who will be the first coach to be fired?
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's still open.
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: No one's been fired yet.
- 1:55SPEAKER_00: Still open, but I want to shout out a listener for many years of the Mike Blitz pod that we're just gonna call the Rad Dad.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: He got the first five questions spot on, so that's a five for five.
- 2:09SPEAKER_00: And a guy that I like to call Michael Steadman, that I like to call my brother.
- 2:15SPEAKER_00: He also got five out of five.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: So brother Michael and the Rad Dad actually are on the doorstep of a perfect quick six response.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: So let's see how everybody did.
- 2:28SPEAKER_00: Let's out see how me and you did last week.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: First question from last week Alabama at Mississippi.
- 2:36SPEAKER_00: And the question was Keelon or Camario.
- 2:40SPEAKER_00: Mississippi State, excuse me.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: Mississippi State at Alabama.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: Um at Mississippi State.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: Keelon or Camario, who will account for more yardage?
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: It was closer than I thought.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: Camario Taylor did put up some yardage, but Keelon Russell was our answer there for the first question.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: I tried to look back.
- 3:03SPEAKER_00: Mike for the Keel Wade, Mike Wade with the point for Keelon.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Mike Wade for the point.
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: To be fair, Camario went out for a while with a hurt.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: If he had stayed in that game the whole time, he might have won that one.
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: Totally.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: So Keelon, point for Wade.
- 3:19SPEAKER_00: Discord was split 50-50.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: And um, yeah, so so a half point for the Discord.
- 3:25SPEAKER_00: Second question was, huh?
- 3:27SPEAKER_00: I said about Iowa hosting Ohio State.
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: I said, okay, we know that Iowa's gonna score 14 points.
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: Just how many points will Ohio State score?
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: And yeah, so Iowa did score exactly 14 points.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: The question was, will they go over 14?
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: Will they get to 15?
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: I said that they will stay at 14 or below, and you two guys got it wrong.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: You said over.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: So sorry, boys.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: Discord was split.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: Discord was split once again.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: Um, question number three.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: Jaden Ball, oh my gosh, this was not even close.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: The question was does he rush for over or under a hundred and forty yards?
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: I was the only one who zagged and said over that total.
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: And he rushed for 13 yards, and everybody else got the point, including the Discord.
- 4:18SPEAKER_01: If you add a zero, you're still you still got it wrong.
- 4:23SPEAKER_00: Mike, you're up to two points.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: Question number four was Miami at Clemson, and I asked if Miami would lead by eight points or more at halftime.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: They did.
- 4:32SPEAKER_00: So me and Mark, we're gonna get the point for that, along with the Discord.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: Good job, people out there.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Mike, you're the only one who zagged.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: There you go.
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, no, nine nine points.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: Covered that eight.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: So, Mike, you zagged with Clemson and did not get the point.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: So we're all square at two points each here so far.
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: Discord has actually beaten both all of us.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: On to question number five.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: Who will the Heisman favorite be this week?
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: As in right now, will it be a non-quarterback or a quarterback?
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: We all said non-quarterback, and that's still true.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: It's Jeremiah Smith.
- 5:08SPEAKER_00: He had another monster day against a good Iowa defense.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah Smith is your Heisman favorite.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: It's hard to imagine a world in the next eight weeks where he's not going to be the Heisman favorite.
- 5:20SPEAKER_01: And so can I just say super quick, if you look at the odds right now, it's like Jeremiah Smith win the Heisman plus 110.
- 5:27SPEAKER_01: So now the question is it's like Jeremiah Smith or the field.
- 5:31SPEAKER_01: That's what Vegas is asking you now.
- 5:33SPEAKER_01: It's like you can have thousands of players or Jeremiah Smith.
- 5:38SPEAKER_01: That's where we are, and it's barely October.
- 5:41SPEAKER_01: Holy smokes.
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: And now take Jeremiah Smith.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm taking Jeremiah Smith.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: Every player.
- 5:47SPEAKER_02: I mean, the quarterbacks, these quarterbacks are going out there, they're handling the ball like how many times a game?
- 5:53SPEAKER_02: 20, 25, 30 times a day.
- 5:55SPEAKER_02: A game, Jeremiah Smith makes eight catches for 200 yards, and it's like, oh, you were just a man among boys.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: If Julian Saiyan throws his arm back and releases a deep ball, it's just like freeze time and space, and I'm all in on a completion.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: I don't even know who's down there, but like it's probably Jeremiah Smith, and it's definitely gonna be caught, and it's probably gonna be a touchdown.
- 6:20SPEAKER_00: Or he just launches that ball down the field.
- 6:22SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, here we go.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: Here's another seven points for the Buckeyes.
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Question number six the last question is gonna be the same again this week.
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: It's Will, who is gonna be the first FBS head coach fired.
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: So here's where we stand.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: Wade says Beamer at South Carolina.
- 6:39SPEAKER_00: Mark says Norvell at Florida State.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: That didn't age well this week.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Loxley, I said Loxley.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: Norvell bought himself a little time, apparently.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: Loxley at Maryland is my pick.
- 6:52SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling great about that.
- 6:54SPEAKER_00: I've got my boys.
- 6:56SPEAKER_01: Sleep on Beamer.
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: Once again, congrats to the Rad Dad and congrats to Brother Michael.
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: They got everything correct.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: Shiano, Rad Dad has Greg Shiano at Ruckers.
- 7:06SPEAKER_00: So if he is indeed the first coach fired, Rad Dad, you're gonna get a gift.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: You're gonna win, you're gonna be the first six for six Discord submission.
- 7:18SPEAKER_00: And Brother Michael says Mike Norvell.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: So he's with you, Mark.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: Mike Norvell is the one guy.
- 7:24SPEAKER_01: Brother Michael's got it.
- 7:26SPEAKER_01: There you go.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: So no, so what you're saying is actually nobody's gonna go six for six because it's gonna be Beamer or Boxley.
- 7:34SPEAKER_01: So okay, all right.
- 7:35SPEAKER_01: Now I'm really in now.
- 7:36SPEAKER_01: I'm super invested in charging off.
- 7:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, these guys are level five.
- 7:40SPEAKER_02: The fiery.
- 7:43SPEAKER_01: How many points do I have, Darren?
- 7:44SPEAKER_01: Do I have four?
- 7:45SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: So, Mark, we're gonna get to you, but the final score for all of us is Wade, Darren, and Mark.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: Three points each.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: And Discord scores three and a half.
- 7:56SPEAKER_00: So the Discord, general public all three of us.
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: Good job, guys.
- 8:01SPEAKER_00: Mark, what are you saying?
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Good work, y'all.
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say the firings have started.
- 8:04SPEAKER_02: Did you guys hear about the Colorado State defensive coordinator?
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the literally see him.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: Was it like Vontae Davis, the defensive back from the Colts that just walked out of the game way through it?
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: Yes, like me.
- 8:19SPEAKER_01: Antonio Brown did it too.
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: Antonio Brown.
- 8:22SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but Antonio Brown's insane.
- 8:24SPEAKER_01: He is insane.
- 8:25SPEAKER_01: Um, I I think funny that to your point, this is I mean, I've been watching football for 40 plus years, and in the last five years, I've now seen three mid-game firings Count Vante, Antonio Brown, and this Colorado State guy.
- 8:39SPEAKER_01: I went the first 35 years never seeing that.
- 8:42SPEAKER_01: Now we're seeing it all the time.
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: Well, it's coming.
- 8:44SPEAKER_02: The firings are coming.
- 8:46SPEAKER_02: We've started the kindling and fires coming soon.
- 8:49SPEAKER_02: All right, Darren.
- 8:50SPEAKER_00: Illinois fired their defensive coordinator last week in the good old-fashioned way in the weekdays between games and yeah, Colorado State at halftime, apparently.
- 9:00SPEAKER_00: R.I.P.
- 9:01SPEAKER_00: Tyson Summers, Colorado State defensive ex-defensive coordinator.
- 9:08SPEAKER_00: I wanted to read one submission, a shout out to a very loyal listener, Annaber from Roanoke, our good friend from camp.
- 9:16SPEAKER_00: Annabare's submission for the open-ended question about the coach getting fired is as follows.
- 9:22SPEAKER_00: Ready?
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: Annabare says, that one Darren picked in the show, the one who also will get paid$51 million to leave.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: I would also try to coach my team to a loss if I could make that much money by getting fired.
- 9:35SPEAKER_00: I think he is the coach of Florida State.
- 9:39SPEAKER_00: I just Googled him.
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: He is Mike Norvell.
- 9:45SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's true.
- 9:47SPEAKER_01: The best job in the world is a former college football quarterback, a quarter quarterback coach, just being paid to not work.
- 9:52SPEAKER_01: That's that is the dream.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: That is truly the dream.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: So shout out Anna Bear once again for that's the type of energy we want in the quick six questionnaire.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: Love it.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: So on to week six.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: Are you ready?
- 10:05SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: I cannot wait to forget what my hokies did last week.
- 10:11SPEAKER_00: And so let's move on.
- 10:12SPEAKER_00: And I think my UVA Wahoo friends out there feel the same way.
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: So let's look at those two teams, our two Homer Virginia teams.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: I got Virginia Tech going to Cal.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: That's a long plane ride.
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: Cal is not living up to their expectations, unfortunately.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: Uh, and so Virginia Tech is going to be favored here by nine and a half points at Cal.
- 10:35SPEAKER_00: UVA, however, is staying at home.
- 10:37SPEAKER_00: They're getting Syracuse, uh, and they're also favored by nine and a half points.
- 10:42SPEAKER_00: Both of our Homer teams in Virginia have a spread of minus nine and a half.
- 10:47SPEAKER_00: So easy question.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: Which one of our teams, Hokies or Wahoos, wins by more points?
- 11:34SPEAKER_01: Hokies.
- 11:35SPEAKER_01: I think I cal has been wildly disappointing this year, and I don't really know why.
- 11:39SPEAKER_01: Virginia Tech is good, they're in a bounce back spot, and now I think that JKS might even be hurt.
- 11:44SPEAKER_01: I don't see any reason why Cal in this spot, I still like Tasha Pai long term.
- 11:49SPEAKER_01: This spot can do well.
- 11:50SPEAKER_01: On the flip side, I think Syracuse is gonna give UVA a run for their money.
- 11:54SPEAKER_01: I'm all Virginia Tech here.
- 11:55SPEAKER_01: Virginia Tech will win by more, cover more, UVA.
- 11:58SPEAKER_01: All my red flags are going off.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: Hokies.
- 12:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Mark.
- 12:03SPEAKER_02: This is a good one.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: I mean, the Hokie's offense outside of the Boston College game, where it was wet and hard to move the ball, they've been able to at least move 499 yards against Pitt.
- 12:14SPEAKER_02: I see them putting up some points.
- 12:16SPEAKER_02: I just, yeah, I don't see Cal putting up the points that Syracuse Syracuse put up 42 against Yukon and went to overtime.
- 12:24SPEAKER_02: And then UVA, they got spanked.
- 12:26SPEAKER_02: I do think Syracuse is a tier three team.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: I think we've talked about a UVA Florida State cleansing in that tier two of the ACC.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Three plus.
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: Man.
- 12:37SPEAKER_02: But there's a factor of UVA being at home.
- 12:41SPEAKER_02: And if they go back home, settle in.
- 12:44SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna quit over there.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: I'm going to put the team down that UVA wins by more points, even though I do want my wife to know that Virginia Tech will win.
- 12:58SPEAKER_01: I just what I think is gonna happen is I think Syracuse is just gonna stack the box with eight or nine guys, and they're gonna say, All right, Bo, beat us.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: Let's see what you can do.
- 13:05SPEAKER_01: But I just don't know that I'm super confident that he can, but we shall see.
- 13:09SPEAKER_01: We shall see.
- 13:10SPEAKER_02: You just don't know about Bo.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll talk more about that later.
- 13:14SPEAKER_00: Quick fun fact about my boy Grunkmeyer that you said is playing really well for Virginia Tech quarterback.
- 13:20SPEAKER_00: He is seventh in the FBS in passing yardage.
- 13:24SPEAKER_00: He's throwing the ball for a ton of yards, seventh in the country, and notably eight more yards than Darien Minsa.
- 13:33SPEAKER_00: So at least I got something to sleep, sleep well on that this week, regardless of what happened on the field.
- 13:40SPEAKER_01: That is good company.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: Question number two.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: I can't wait to talk more about our group of six friends.
- 13:46SPEAKER_00: We came out hot earlier this year talking about Memphis, talking about UNLV, Boise State, our pet team, North Decatur State, Bison joined the fun.
- 13:58SPEAKER_00: And so let's have a yeah, let's get back to our group of six friends.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: A couple games of note.
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: Boise is going to Fresno State.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: Fresno is not a great team.
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: There's a mid- they're a mid-tier team, and but Boise's only favored by less than a touchdown.
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: Six and a half on the road at Fresno.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: And so you got Boise going there on a trip.
- 14:20SPEAKER_00: North Dakota State is also going on a trip.
- 14:22SPEAKER_00: They're going to UNLV, who just had a really impressive win.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: And they just smacked Cal.
- 14:29SPEAKER_00: And they yeah, they just beat Cal.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: And North Dakota State is only favored on the road at UNLV by four points.
- 14:37SPEAKER_00: Kind of a low spread for some really good teams that we've been talking about.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: Anyway, here's my question.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: At this time next week, which one of those two teams is going to be the favorite in the betting odds to make the playoff?
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: So essentially the best of the group of six teams.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: They're currently the top two.
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: Boise State is now the favorite at plus 140.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: North Dakota State is the second group of six favorite at plus four twenty-five.
- 15:06SPEAKER_00: So those odds aren't really close to each other right now.
- 15:10SPEAKER_00: But let's think here.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: Boise State is always going to have a loss in the L in the L column.
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: North Dakota State, if they go to UNLV and beat them, and it really looks like an undefeated season for the bison, do you think they're going to jump ahead of the by of Boise?
- 15:28SPEAKER_00: And are Boise, are they in a are they in a tough spot going on the road to Fresno?
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: Are they going to look not as good as they should?
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Anyway, which one of these two teams is going to be the odds-on favorite as the group of six rep?
- 15:41SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go chalk.
- 15:42SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go Boise because I think UNLV is going to have something for North Dakota State.
- 15:48SPEAKER_01: I love North Dakota State.
- 15:49SPEAKER_01: They're my favorite G6 school.
- 15:50SPEAKER_01: I want some bison gear.
- 15:51SPEAKER_01: I've signed, I'm riding with them this season.
- 15:54SPEAKER_01: I love bison.
- 15:54SPEAKER_01: I think UNLV might beat them.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: That's a tough spot.
- 15:57SPEAKER_01: They're playing Alegion Stadium in Vegas, Jackson Arnold, Dan Mullen.
- 16:02SPEAKER_01: They're going to be dynamic.
- 16:04SPEAKER_01: And I'm worried about our friends from Fargo.
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: So that for that reason, I think Boise State will be the winner.
- 16:10SPEAKER_01: And I think that's what's going to happen is North Dakota State's going to fall back and JMU is going to slide into the two spots.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: So that's the way I see it happening.
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: So for that reason, not because I'm that feeling that good about Boise, but I'm feeling real good about UNLV all of a sudden.
- 16:22SPEAKER_01: So go ahead and give me Boise to be leading after next week.
- 16:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I saw a graphic on one of the games on Saturday, and it was like as OEC State was winning, they were like 34%.
- 16:34SPEAKER_02: JMU was in the 12%, and North Dakota State may have been just above them.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: So Boise State would have to go to Fresno in loot.
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: But I'm going to ride.
- 16:44SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 16:45SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go ride.
- 16:46SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go ride with the Fargo boys in North Dakota State.
- 16:49SPEAKER_02: I think Maiden Hayes is awesome.
- 16:51SPEAKER_02: He's got great legs.
- 16:52SPEAKER_02: Jackson Williams, the wide receiver.
- 16:54SPEAKER_02: They are a great one-two combo.
- 16:57SPEAKER_02: And their defense is pretty awesome.
- 16:59SPEAKER_02: They picked off the first throw of the game against Wyoming and it returned for a touchdown and then pretty much shut Wyoming down the entire game.
- 17:06SPEAKER_02: They were five for five on third down conversions.
- 17:09SPEAKER_02: North Dakota State's just been dominant.
- 17:10SPEAKER_02: And I'm excited to see them really.
- 17:12SPEAKER_02: I think this is the first time they're going to take on another like another welter weight out there and get some real punches going and not just beat up the Wyomings of the world.
- 17:21SPEAKER_02: So yeah, put me down for North North Dakota State on this one.
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and Mike, I might have to amend my statements.
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: I think you're right.
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: JMU is right there with North Dakota State.
- 17:31SPEAKER_00: I don't see it on my betting app because we're in Virginia and they don't show Virginia teams.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: But they're right there with the bison of North Dakota.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: So anyway, uh I'm gonna pick with Marks.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: And so I think that what's gonna happen, I am gonna go with my heart here, not like Mike voting with his head.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: Uh boring.
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say that the bison go into the dome at UNLV, and they are impressive.
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: And they beat that UNLV team that just beat Cal in the UNLV's letdown spot, and the bison get a lot of eyes.
- 18:09SPEAKER_00: And so yeah, put me down for the bison.
- 18:11SPEAKER_00: Uh love that that we're talking a lot about them this year.
- 18:15SPEAKER_00: Question number three.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: Yeah, go ahead, Mike.
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: Well, one just real quick.
- 18:19SPEAKER_01: I think you guys are on to something in the sense where Boise doesn't have a lot to gain by beating Fresno.
- 18:25SPEAKER_01: North Dakota State, if you're right, if they go there and they win by 17, that's going to go, it's gonna be a lot more impressive.
- 18:31SPEAKER_01: And I can see those odds tightening up a lot.
- 18:33SPEAKER_01: So it's there.
- 18:34SPEAKER_01: The potential is there for them.
- 18:36SPEAKER_02: The head coach at Fresno State was the head coach at North Dakota State in 2019, like 2023.
- 18:41SPEAKER_02: And so, like, he's ready.
- 18:43SPEAKER_02: They have a dog in the fight.
- 18:44SPEAKER_02: He knows what he's doing, he's supporting his old school.
- 18:46SPEAKER_02: He's gonna take down UNOB.
- 18:48SPEAKER_02: North Dakota's gonna rise, baby.
- 18:50SPEAKER_02: There you go.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: Question number three.
- 18:54SPEAKER_00: Let's go to a big one.
- 18:56SPEAKER_00: Let's go, Georgia at Bama College Game Day is gonna be in Tuscaloosa.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: And so I'm excited to wake up in the morning, cup of coffee, go outside, crisp, cool air, play in the flower beds a little bit, get listen to a little podcast, get excited for 9 a.m., watch a little college game day.
- 19:19SPEAKER_00: And so my question is okay, here's how it's gonna go.
- 19:22SPEAKER_00: At the end of college game day, at two minutes until noon, we're gonna have our final pick'em, and it's gonna look like this.
- 19:29SPEAKER_00: It always does.
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: You got Dez Howard, you got Coach Saban, you got some guest picker from who knows where, some country music singer or something like that, or what's his name?
- 19:43SPEAKER_00: Heisman winner.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: And then you got Sanchez?
- 19:48SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no.
- 19:49SPEAKER_00: Ingram, Ingram, Ingram, Ingram, Marking Guys, Raven the Ant.
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: One of these, one of these Bama guys, and uh and you got Kirk, who might be calling the games, who might or might not be picking, and then you're gonna have Pat McAfee.
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: Here's what I think is gonna happen Saban picks Alabama, guest picker, whoever it is, picks Alabama, McAfee in front of Tescaloosa, he's gonna pick Alabama.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: Is more than one person gonna pick Georgia on the final pick'em of college game day?
- 20:21SPEAKER_00: Because I think Dez is gonna start us off by picking the Georgia Bulldogs.
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: But how about one more person?
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: Is there gonna be over or under one and a half picks for the Georgia Bulldogs in Tuscaloosa at college game day final pick?
- 20:41SPEAKER_01: It would have to be, it would have to be, I think you're right.
- 20:46SPEAKER_01: Because Kirk's not gonna pick the game because he's gonna call it because it's gonna be an I'm well, I don't know.
- 20:51SPEAKER_01: I'm pretty sure it's gonna be the ABC crew, so Kirk won't pick.
- 20:54SPEAKER_01: I think you're right.
- 20:55SPEAKER_01: I think Desmond is gonna pick Georgia.
- 20:57SPEAKER_01: I think McAfee is too, though.
- 20:58SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna say the over.
- 21:00SPEAKER_01: I think George, I think McAfee's gonna stick it to him because he knows Saban the guest picker are gonna do it.
- 21:05SPEAKER_01: So yes, I think you're gonna see more than and I just think I actually think Georgia's gonna win.
- 21:11SPEAKER_01: So I think there's gonna be something to be said for that.
- 21:13SPEAKER_01: So I'm gonna zag here.
- 21:14SPEAKER_01: I think chalk is no, I'm saying yes.
- 21:17SPEAKER_01: I think more than two people pick, and I think George is gonna win.
- 21:20SPEAKER_01: We'll talk more about that next episode.
- 21:21SPEAKER_00: So you're saying at least two people will be picking for the Georgia Bulldogs, Mark.
- 21:25SPEAKER_00: How do you think?
- 21:26SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna agree.
- 21:27SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna agree.
- 21:28SPEAKER_02: George has been pretty solid.
- 21:29SPEAKER_02: Uh I mean, I said earlier in yesterday's episode that I don't think that anybody's really tested them yet.
- 21:34SPEAKER_02: But I mean, I think Alabama it's in Alabama too.
- 21:38SPEAKER_02: No, it's in Alabama.
- 21:40SPEAKER_02: We're just picking who's gonna pick.
- 21:41SPEAKER_02: I think there's gonna be two people to pick Georgia up there.
- 21:43SPEAKER_02: It's it's not like just yeah.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: I get way too emotionally invested in like this pick'em at the end of the day.
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: We got five minutes till noon.
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: I've got so much coffee in my veins coursing through the caffeine, so pumped up moments away from actual kickoff.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: Who is Pat McAvee gonna pick?
- 22:04SPEAKER_00: You know, I love it.
- 22:05SPEAKER_02: And don't you get really angry when they all pick against your team and you're like, we're gonna come back and do it.
- 22:09SPEAKER_02: You know you screenshot that later.
- 22:12SPEAKER_02: And you're like, look, nobody picked us Bay Bay.
- 22:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I'm actually gonna go under.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: I think only one person's gonna pick Georgia Georgia.
- 22:20SPEAKER_00: I think just the peer pressure of being there in Tuscaloosa, Dez is gonna lead off and he's gonna giggle and laugh at everything and pick Georgia.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: It's gonna take under four seconds for him to pick, and nobody's gonna care.
- 22:32SPEAKER_00: And so he's gonna be the only one to pick the Georgia Bulldogs.
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: Love Dez.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: Everybody else is gonna go home team.
- 22:39SPEAKER_00: Question number four.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: Uh we got the LSU Tigers.
- 22:46SPEAKER_00: Heard of them?
- 22:47SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 22:48SPEAKER_00: Going to the Kentucky to Mr.
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: Smooth himself, Kenny Minchee.
- 22:55SPEAKER_00: Now, we said last episode LSU's defense is really freaking good.
- 23:00SPEAKER_00: They are second in the FBS in yards per game, 220 yards per game.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: So I want to look at that matchup.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: Kenny Minchy handling the ball, quarterback for Kentucky at home.
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: This year so far, he has thrown for 11 touchdowns and he has one interception.
- 23:21SPEAKER_00: The thing that he's going to have to do to beat the LSU Tigers at home in Kentucky is to go turnover free.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: No fumbles lost, no interceptions.
- 23:34SPEAKER_00: But he's got the boys in yellow across the line of scrimmage from him, bearing down real hard.
- 23:39SPEAKER_00: Question is, will Kenny Minchie be turnover free or will he have a turnover on Saturday?
- 23:46SPEAKER_01: A couple things, Darren.
- 23:47SPEAKER_01: Gold, not yellow.
- 23:48SPEAKER_01: Gold is our gold.
- 23:51SPEAKER_01: Excuse me.
- 23:54SPEAKER_01: Number two, we have the best pass rush in college football, and it's going to get home to him.
- 23:57SPEAKER_01: It's going to be a strip sack fumble.
- 23:59SPEAKER_01: That's what's going to be.
- 24:05SPEAKER_01: We've done it a couple times.
- 24:06SPEAKER_01: We've gotten a couple picks, but it's it's not been where we're feasting.
- 24:10SPEAKER_01: Where we're feasting is the defensive line, and we're going to get pressure, and he's going to cough one up.
- 24:14SPEAKER_01: So he's someone's going to punch one out from behind.
- 24:17SPEAKER_01: That's my expectation.
- 24:18SPEAKER_01: And yeah, it's going to be a situation when LSU's up by 14.
- 24:22SPEAKER_01: They're going to have to go to abandon the run to throw the ball every play.
- 24:25SPEAKER_01: And that's kind of where it's like exactly where LSU wants to be.
- 24:30SPEAKER_01: That's what's going to happen.
- 24:31SPEAKER_01: So yes, LSU will turn him over, but I expect it to be a strip sack fumble.
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 24:36SPEAKER_00: This is Minchie.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: Minchy only, not a running back, not a wide receiver, but Minchie turnover.
- 24:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 24:42SPEAKER_01: And it could be a fumble or interception.
- 24:43SPEAKER_01: Fumble or interception, right?
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: Either way.
- 24:45SPEAKER_01: He's going to he's going to cough one up.
- 24:47SPEAKER_01: It's going to be a fumble.
- 24:47SPEAKER_00: Man, hard to disagree with that.
- 24:50SPEAKER_02: If he doesn't play the whole game, can I get a little asterisk next to my name?
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.
- 24:57SPEAKER_02: What are you going to say?
- 24:58SPEAKER_02: Before I throw my hands for.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: No.
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: No, I said no.
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: You get nothing.
- 25:02SPEAKER_00: You get insulation.
- 25:04SPEAKER_02: And you will enjoy it.
- 25:05SPEAKER_02: And you will like it.
- 25:06SPEAKER_02: I mean, I sat there watching that game this week against South Carolina, and I don't like I don't like his throwing motion, but I love his confidence.
- 25:14SPEAKER_02: I like my I like what you're thinking about a strip, Zach.
- 25:16SPEAKER_02: As you were sitting there, I'm like, man, I could see him fumble.
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: I could see Prince what's his name?
- 25:21SPEAKER_02: Prince of Muka.
- 25:23SPEAKER_01: Prince Man.
- 25:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:24SPEAKER_02: Dude, that D line is so good in Beddenfield, the safety.
- 25:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I could definitely I see some type of turnover if I don't have to call it.
- 25:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 25:33SPEAKER_02: I think there might be two.
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, I yeah, I don't think it's I think we're gonna get more than one.
- 25:37SPEAKER_01: I think we're gonna Kentucky's gonna have to play flawless, get the ball out very fast to beat us.
- 25:42SPEAKER_01: And I don't I just don't think they could do it.
- 25:44SPEAKER_02: Even Levit's gonna have three on his side too, but like oh yeah, we're throwing at least one pick.
- 25:48SPEAKER_01: That's Sam Levitt's throwing at least one for sure.
- 25:51SPEAKER_01: But the good news is he'll score every other drive, so it'll be okay.
- 25:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: The boys in gold.
- 25:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm gonna zag and I'm gonna say that if anybody can play flawless at home, especially after an amazing win like they had this week, I think it's Kenny Minchie and the Blue Boys.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: And so I'm gonna say no turnover.
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: And now that I say it out loud, it's not I don't think it's saying that much, actually.
- 26:17SPEAKER_00: Kenny Minchie is going to not throw an interception and he's not gonna fumble the ball.
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: And he's just simply gonna carry out Stein's game plan, and they're gonna methodically lose by 13 points at home to LSU.
- 26:31SPEAKER_01: And that's look, you could talk me into ballot.
- 26:33SPEAKER_01: You could talk me into Will Stein coaching it out of him, like in saying no five or seven-step drops, no naked boots, no long play action developing plays.
- 26:42SPEAKER_01: He keeps him in the gun and it's all quick out stuff and RPO stuff where he hands the ball off immediately.
- 26:48SPEAKER_01: He I could see a world, given how good a defensive line is playing right now in the pass rush, Will Stein might be saying, I gotta take that away.
- 26:54SPEAKER_01: We're not gonna be taking deep shots because we don't have time to develop those, but we'll beat him with short stuff.
- 26:58SPEAKER_01: And I could see him scheming up a game plan to make sure that he is clean.
- 27:03SPEAKER_01: That could be part of his, that should be part of his game plan, frankly.
- 27:06SPEAKER_01: It's not gonna be enough, but it's how you keep it close.
- 27:10SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 27:10SPEAKER_00: This is an offensive coordinator coach Stein, and that's what he's gonna do.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: They're gonna throw seven-yard passes and absolutely annoy the boys in gold.
- 27:20SPEAKER_00: And if they're gonna throw any deep balls at all, it's gonna be a two-step fade to the sideline, and that's gonna be their deep game.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 27:27SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 27:28SPEAKER_00: Get rid of the ball, get rid of the ball early, and if you can't, just throw it out of bounds and render the pass rush ineffective.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: So I say no, you guys say yes.
- 27:38SPEAKER_02: Oh, sorry.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: Oh.
- 27:44SPEAKER_00: Ooh.
- 27:45SPEAKER_00: Good for it.
- 27:47SPEAKER_01: Only one pick, only one pick through five games.
- 27:49SPEAKER_01: That's a pretty darn good stat.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: He's smooth, baby.
- 27:52SPEAKER_00: He's smooth.
- 27:54SPEAKER_00: Question number five.
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
- 27:56SPEAKER_00: So USC is coming to State College, PSU Penn State, and it is white out night.
- 28:05SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it is.
- 28:06SPEAKER_00: We thought maybe they'd have a whiteout.
- 28:08SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 28:09SPEAKER_00: So so USC Trojans are coming.
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: The oh my gosh.
- 28:13SPEAKER_00: The poor fans in state college are gonna be wearing their white.
- 28:16SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be trying to muster up some sort of an excitement over a really mediocre team.
- 28:21SPEAKER_00: So this harkens back to last year.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: Penn State and James Franklin were 4-0, I believe.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: And it was white out night.
- 28:31SPEAKER_00: And Oregon Ducks came to town.
- 28:34SPEAKER_00: And they went into the fourth quarter three to seventeen.
- 28:40SPEAKER_00: Uh Oregon.
- 28:42SPEAKER_00: Penn State in that game miraculously scored 14 points in the fourth quarter, took it to overtime.
- 28:50SPEAKER_00: They were the number four or five team in the nation at the time.
- 28:55SPEAKER_00: And everybody was just bananas, crazy, livid fans were electric in that whiteout game, and then they lost in overtime, and thus began the decline of the Penn State Nittany Lions that hasn't actually stopped yet.
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: And so remembering that game and going to this year, USC come into town.
- 29:18SPEAKER_00: My question is this Does Penn State ever lead in the fourth quarter of this game?
- 29:25SPEAKER_00: Now, one more factoid, Penn State is a one and a half point favorite in the I was just gonna say that.
- 29:33SPEAKER_00: They are the favorite at the whiteout game on Saturday night.
- 29:38SPEAKER_00: Do they ever lead in the fourth quarter, or will USC carry the lead through the end of the game?
- 29:46SPEAKER_01: This is easy for me.
- 29:47SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna I'm gonna bring it up again on Tuesday.
- 29:49SPEAKER_01: We are absolutely betting on the Trojans.
- 29:51SPEAKER_01: Trojans' defense is bad.
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: It's bad.
- 29:53SPEAKER_01: It's not gonna matter.
- 29:54SPEAKER_01: USC is going to light up Penn State in a big way.
- 29:57SPEAKER_01: I got USC winning by 10 plus, which means they're gonna be well in control.
- 30:02SPEAKER_01: There could be a situation where they're up by 21, and maybe Penn State wins the fourth quarter, like scores more points and lets them get like get more points, gets back in the game, kind of, make it look a little bit better on paper, but no.
- 30:14SPEAKER_01: USC is gonna go unless the weather gets real nasty and Penn State has a chance to muck it up, which I haven't looked at.
- 30:20SPEAKER_01: Right now, Acuweather is saying 62 62 degrees and sunny, or I guess it's nighttime, 7:30 local kick.
- 30:27SPEAKER_01: No, USC is gonna go in there and put on a track meet.
- 30:29SPEAKER_01: They're gonna score a lot of points.
- 30:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Mike up Allen.
- 30:35SPEAKER_02: That's easy.
- 30:36SPEAKER_02: USC.
- 30:37SPEAKER_02: All the way.
- 30:38SPEAKER_01: They just gave up 400 yards on the ground to Northwestern.
- 30:40SPEAKER_01: You can't tell me Northwestern has rushed for 430 plus on them.
- 30:45SPEAKER_01: You can't tell me they're you they're gonna have something for USC's offense.
- 30:49SPEAKER_01: I got plenty to complain about.
- 30:52SPEAKER_01: Lincoln Riley and his inability to get a defense.
- 30:55SPEAKER_01: This is not that game.
- 30:56SPEAKER_01: Not gonna matter today.
- 30:58SPEAKER_00: Trojans are coming from the West Coast.
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be white out Penn State.
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: Those fans are going to still, they're gonna be uh so excited that they forgot what happened over the course of the last year, and they're gonna be on fire at night, and it's gonna be up to the Discord to zag on this one because I'm with you guys.
- 31:20SPEAKER_00: USA is gonna play everyone.
- 31:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're gonna be booing their own team in this game.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: Third quarter, they're gonna be booing, they're gonna be booing Matt Campbell.
- 31:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a white out self-boo scenario.
- 31:31SPEAKER_00: Not a it's not a good look.
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: Every single Penn State fan friend I have has a little cloud over their head right now, and it's rainy and they're gloomy, and they're like, oh my god, what happened to us?
- 31:43SPEAKER_02: We were so good, we were so close.
- 31:46SPEAKER_02: And now we're a mediocre Big 12.
- 31:48SPEAKER_01: Look at look, Discord, this is a great time for y'all to zag.
- 31:51SPEAKER_01: Vegas thinks you're the favorite.
- 31:53SPEAKER_01: So saying they're gonna have a lead in the fourth quarter, yeah.
- 31:55SPEAKER_01: That's the chalk move.
- 31:56SPEAKER_01: All three of us are we are all zagging, we are zagging together.
- 32:00SPEAKER_01: You guys should zig.
- 32:00SPEAKER_01: We're zagging.
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, man.
- 32:03SPEAKER_00: Okay, so question number six.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: I've I feel like at that Penn State Stadium, I want to see a sign, somebody outside the stadium on the sidewalk with a sign that just says free hugs.
- 32:14SPEAKER_00: Like the fans exit, and it's just like free hugs.
- 32:17SPEAKER_00: Free hugs, just stop on by.
- 32:20SPEAKER_00: So yeah.
- 32:23SPEAKER_00: Last question is the same.
- 32:26SPEAKER_00: Who will be the first head coach that's fired this year, 2026?
- 32:30SPEAKER_00: And here's what I'm gonna do for you boys.
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna let you and myself and everybody in the Discord keep your first pick.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: And so, Michael, you said Beamer, South Carolina.
- 32:41SPEAKER_00: Mark said you, you said Norvell at Florida State.
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: I said Loxley.
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: We all keep them and we add another one.
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: Let me give you the the current update of coacheshotseat.com has exactly what we said last time.
- 32:58SPEAKER_00: Loxley, Norvell, Beamer.
- 33:00SPEAKER_00: Are there the top three?
- 33:01SPEAKER_00: The next three are Greg Ciano, Ruckers, Luke Fickle, Wisconsin, Dave Aranda, Baylor, and notable Lincoln Riley, number seven, USC.
- 33:13SPEAKER_00: So any one of those, anybody else on the list, who do you want to add to your fire first list?
- 33:20SPEAKER_01: So clarify, so I can so I can have two coaches and you got beamer already.
- 33:25SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 33:26SPEAKER_01: So if I have to add another one, and if he's fired, if either of them, beamer or whoever I name is right, it's it I get it right.
- 33:33SPEAKER_01: You win the point.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 33:34SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 33:36SPEAKER_02: The snake draft, or we should throw it out there.
- 33:39SPEAKER_01: We can all double up, so I think it matters.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: Alphabetical by last name.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: So it's F for Franzen.
- 33:46SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 33:47SPEAKER_02: I know it's an easy, it's an easy take to go Greg Ciano at Rutgers, but I'm gonna go down the list and go Bill O'Brien at Boston College.
- 33:56SPEAKER_02: He's number 12 on the list.
- 33:58SPEAKER_02: I don't think they're playing very well.
- 34:00SPEAKER_02: He had a very Belichick interview last week when they were playing Virginia Tech, and I just think I don't know, I just don't think he's rising that program up to where their expectations are.
- 34:10SPEAKER_02: And I could see them just cutting their losses.
- 34:12SPEAKER_02: Now I don't know if there's a buyout.
- 34:14SPEAKER_02: I don't know what kind of under-the-table thing, but I'm just I'm going with my gut here, and I could see Bill O'Brien unemployed very soon.
- 34:23SPEAKER_01: Look, uh Norvell played, got himself off the seat for a week.
- 34:27SPEAKER_01: Aranda just laid the smack down as a dog.
- 34:30SPEAKER_01: I think Luke Fickle has got a little good grace going from Ligan Riley's gonna win this week.
- 34:34SPEAKER_01: I think all these guys are gonna be okay.
- 34:37SPEAKER_01: So by default, who's who does who does Florida State play this week?
- 34:41SPEAKER_01: Do we know that is?
- 34:43SPEAKER_01: Are they off Florida State?
- 34:45SPEAKER_01: Are they on Louisville?
- 34:48SPEAKER_01: Is he gonna lose?

- 34:58SPEAKER_01: Florida is going to unload, but I gotta go Loxley.
- 35:02SPEAKER_01: They're 35-point dogs against Ohio State.
- 35:05SPEAKER_01: I think they're just gonna, I think this is it.
- 35:06SPEAKER_01: There's one it's my beamer.
- 35:08SPEAKER_00: No, sorry.
- 35:09SPEAKER_00: That's my that's my guy.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: So you can't pick the ones that we've already picked.
- 35:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: Oh, Beamer, Loxley, and Norbell.
- 35:15SPEAKER_00: I would take a box.
- 35:17SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 35:17SPEAKER_01: Beamer.
- 35:18SPEAKER_01: So who's off the board?
- 35:19SPEAKER_01: Sorry, Beamer, Loxley, Norbell.

- 35:22SPEAKER_02: And and um, whoever I should do.
- 35:24SPEAKER_01: Bill O'Brien.
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: Oh, Bill O'Brien.
- 35:26SPEAKER_01: Bill O'Brien.
- 35:27SPEAKER_01: Oh, so I could take Shiano?
- 35:29SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 35:29unknown: Yeah.
- 35:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 35:31SPEAKER_01: I don't want to, but I think that's got I think it's I think it's him.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 35:36SPEAKER_00: Darren.
- 35:36SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna go down the list too.
- 35:38SPEAKER_00: I think Lincoln Riley's gonna be safe.
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: I think Dave Aranda just bought himself some time at Baylor.
- 35:43SPEAKER_00: These coaches are getting some decent wins.
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: Dave Dorn at NC State isn't looking too horrible.
- 35:50SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's kind of there.
- 35:52SPEAKER_00: Um, what's it in the store?
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: What about D?
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: What about Dion at 17?
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: He's oh, I was gonna say just dud after dud.
- 35:58SPEAKER_00: Dion for this list.
- 36:01SPEAKER_02: Did you were you the one that said Dion?
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: All right, Colorado scored seven, three, seven, and seventeen, and they're all prime numbers.
- 36:08SPEAKER_01: These are all prime numbers, just brutal.
- 36:10SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like I like Dion a lot for this list, too.
- 36:13SPEAKER_00: I got a name that I think I'm gonna end up going with.
- 36:17SPEAKER_00: Is this crazy?
- 36:19SPEAKER_00: Brent Venables at Oklahoma had very very high expectations, and they are just bottoming out here.
- 36:29SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and so that's a drop, that's a fall from grace that's different than all these other little schools, little coaches and stuff.
- 36:36SPEAKER_00: And so I think I might just go Venables here.
- 36:40SPEAKER_00: Give me Venables, give me Loxley.
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: Oklahoma has an expectation to dominate, right?
- 36:46SPEAKER_02: And even just being a tier two.
- 36:48SPEAKER_01: Which they are, yeah, which they are doing on one side of the ball, to be fair.
- 36:52SPEAKER_01: It's just you need two sides of the football to play football.
- 36:54SPEAKER_02: So get him Dabbo back together, the band back together.
- 37:00SPEAKER_00: So that is your quick six for week six, the six-six.
