Hmmm, Turny Boy Podcast Michigan Week Oscar fans Hunters are backing here with Austin
0:23
Rose da Code of Free tag. What's up? Fellas? Happy Survivor?
0:28
Me? Or Night? Everybody, Big Big Night Survivor? You know you
0:35
are? It's those Beatrice people are the only people I know who watched Survivor.
0:40
I don't know anyone outside of the entire city of Theatress that watches Survivors.
0:45
Still, sure you do, okay, Katie? One person it is?
0:54
It is, Dak. Did you watch tonight? You bet? I
0:58
have not. I have all watch it tomorrow probably at some point. So
1:03
is it good? Yep? I'll just say that people are nuts love it?
1:08
Did you? I know you applied last time. You haven't got your
1:11
email back yet excepting yet. No, they're just they're waiting for the best,
1:15
the best, the best season, and then they'll then they'll send me
1:19
to the island. All right, I will, Dak, I'd win it.
1:26
Oh please? How do you think you participated at the zerban Niki Survivor?
1:32
Yeah? I got six? So you think you could win it with
1:36
a nationwide talent ful? Oh? Yeah, you're you're not even You're not
1:44
even telling Austin you're large accomplishment. I guess you had multiple during the Bizarre
1:49
Baker Survivor, but Dak Dak lost lost an extra Boate just lost it.
1:55
You forgot where you put it? Nice no comment, Jack, how could
2:04
you lose? You're on one bottom lamb. It's a long story. I
2:10
went out in the woods to go look look forward with somebody. We were
2:14
on the right spot for some reason. I listened to him where it was
2:16
and he told me a complete different direction. He didn't want that one one
2:21
that hit it. You were the one that hit it. Yeah, you
2:24
know what? Hand up? My bad that good at hiding things anyway.
2:32
Well, all right, enough survivor talk onto Oscar football guys. Is it
2:38
a big week? I've heard a lot of thoughts and opinions that it doesn't
2:45
feel like it's a big week even though we're playing the number two team in
2:47
the country and Barstool's coming. They'll be pretty close to our tailgate when we
2:53
do our tailgate pod on Saturday. Like, I don't know, I I'm
2:59
excited. I'm not saying that means we're going to win or compete in the
3:02
game, but it's still fun having a top three team, come home,
3:07
come to Lincoln. Uh, there is a little bit of juice left unsqueezed
3:15
when it's one of those games where we're probably not gonna farewell no one,
3:20
you know, it's I don't know, I'm not going to be Ohio State
3:23
game d egg all over again. You hope not? It could? I
3:29
mean that that was four years ago today? Was it really? Yep?
3:36
I have a snapchack memories. What a game that was four years ago the
3:46
Ohio State. It was only four years ago, about right? Yeah?
3:53
I thought Tommy Armstrong was our quarterback. That was a different time. We
3:57
got steamrolled. Dak. I want to hear your thoughts on speaking of bar
4:02
Stool all of this return to Mediocrity And yes, as you guys might have
4:10
noticed, we've changed the name of our podcast to Return to Mediocrity for this
4:13
week and also our X page. We are the Return to Mediocrity podcast,
4:17
something that Austin and I talked about doing, oh probably two or three years
4:23
ago, and we are here in large part to what happened with Dave Portnoy
4:30
that at bar Stool and Dak, what are your thoughts on that? I
4:34
guess explain what happened for those that might not know. So, Dave Portnoy
4:40
put out a video saying how Pumpy is being LinkedIn and he's always been wanting
4:44
to come here because of the game, the atmosphere. He basically are just
4:46
seeing everything good about Nebraska, even though he's a Mischian fan. I don't
4:49
know why he's tapping it up in the breast so much. Anyway, he
4:53
put out this shirt it said make Nebraska me yoker again, right, and
4:58
he was just saying in saying Nebraska sucks. He's say you're making mediocre again,
5:02
which Nebraska fans are mad because they're I don't know what they're mad about,
5:08
because they have a mediocre since well it made a ball games in twenty
5:12
sixteen, so you gotta be five hundred. Yea. If you call five
5:15
hundred mediocrity, you haven't been there in seven years. So I Husker fans
5:21
were pissed about that he had to come out another video scene wasn't trying to
5:26
bash him. I don't know it. It's insane. It's it's ridiculous.
5:31
It's like all of the negative stuff that we've said about our fans, and
5:40
when I say fans, I'm talking about a large portion of the fan based
5:44
population. I'm not speaking to everybody, but it is a very large piece
5:48
of them, including most of them that come to games on Saturday in the
5:53
stadium, are just so incompetent is the word that they just just don't have
6:00
any logical common sense, are just blinded by the whole freaking world of Nebraska
6:05
football and Nebraska sports in general, and like something like this is just stupid.
6:11
Like like you said, Nak, you watch that thing and it is
6:15
he is totally like supporting and he has so much he's trying to hype the
6:18
weekend of it, make it seem so awesome, and then we just come
6:21
out and just be dumb like we always do. And like Austin I have
6:28
said it, like that's where we're at as a program, Like we jokingly
6:31
said we aren't. We don't need to return to glory, we need to
6:34
get back to five to five hundred. And now someone that has a very
6:40
large influence, I mean, one of the largest, I would say,
6:43
in our society comes out and does something like this, and we just wants
6:46
again make a fool of ourselves and become laughing stock again. College I wouldn't
6:54
go as far as see. I guess I haven't seen everything, but to
6:58
say that people defending their team are being foolish, it's like, well,
7:01
what're we're not defending or defending our team from what it's facts, It's like
7:09
what we are. I don't get me wrong again, we've joked it's self
7:13
deprecating. But when someone from the media who's a Michigan fans coming to Michigan
7:16
Week and he's like, you know, it's just I understand why people defend
7:21
themselves to what level and they're understanding of where we are at a program I
7:25
agree with, But I don't know if it's unreasonable for people to be like,
7:28
hey, you know, like okay, like you can, but selling
7:32
shirts about it. I could see where people be like, hey, you
7:35
don't need to do that. Hell, I want twenty I want a thousand
7:38
of shirts. Well you can bother speaks. It speaks the truth. I
7:42
like the fact that we're okay, that's our fans though, Like that is
7:48
to me, a large part of why we are so poor and so bad
7:53
is that pressure and that stupid like expectation that we all set of the program
7:58
in general, Like that is that is why not saying that's why Jeffson's turning
8:03
the ball over. But there is a little bit of that when you come
8:07
in here or as a head coach like there is, you are having to
8:11
appease the audience that you're a part of because there's so much pressure and talk
8:16
and everything surrounding the program, like people just need to shill the fuck out,
8:24
Like yeah, but the pressure is a product of passion, and without
8:30
passion, it's not that that's part of your culture, right, but there's
8:33
a right way to go about passion. I agree, I agree, and
8:37
we're going about it very wrong. I am on your side. I'm just
8:41
trying to play No. I like it. That's why it's a good discussion.
8:45
It's hard not to make a bull game and they haven't done it seven
8:48
years, so I don't. There's nowhere near mediocrity. Yeah, it's it's
8:54
a legit. Stating the facts is what it's doing, and I don't.
9:00
It just sums up to me a lot of the negative stuff that has been
9:05
that we've said about our fans. Dak you want to you're gonna go say
9:09
hi to Dave. Oh yeah, I'm gonna try to get him over.
9:13
Where's he going for pizza. Yeah, yas Mellow, Oh Mellow East,
9:20
go to Mellow. I don't even know where else you'd go in Lincoln Valentinos
9:26
maybe honestly maybe, Yeah, you're probably right. I bet that is what
9:31
he'll do it. He'll be like this pizza sucks Casey's. He already did
9:35
Casey's once, and that's that's bullshit. Their practice Speatza kicks ass their briccic
9:41
seats and does kick ass. That was a bad review. I agree.
9:46
So yeah, Dakill, he gonna get him over on Saturday, dak Even
9:50
if you can't get him, see what strings you can pull and get someone
9:52
else, even if it's I don't know Randon Walker's band, that's for sure.
9:56
I hate that guy back. I'm looking forward to seeing who you can
10:03
get my best buddy Compton. Okay, he does have a picture with Will
10:11
Compton. Heard how old were you? Is that the bar? We took
10:16
shots together? Oh no shit, yeah, Daman Taylor one, we're there.
10:22
We took shots. He's got the connections already, he's already in the
10:24
d MS. All right, all right, let's let's actually get to the
10:31
game here. Since we've spent twenty minutes almost not even talking about that.
10:37
Maybe we're avoiding it. Here's the number one thing I think for the game
10:46
and has been for the whole season. But how in the hell are we
10:50
going to score? No ship, that's the only reason the spreads eighteen and
10:56
a half. I guess that's what it lasted. Oh it's down to seventeen.
11:01
Have you saw the over under? Yeah, it's it's they're legit expecting
11:07
a twenty seven to ten games. I mean that that's that's the score,
11:11
and that's probably honestly close to my score prediction. That's that's what's expected.
11:18
It is. And I saw someone tweet that had the longest games played without
11:24
being shut out in Nebraska in the Big Ten, and we were number one.
11:31
We're gonna flirt with it, we we I think they jinked us for
11:35
the week. Okay, you get shut out against Wisconsin that one year when
11:43
you went there, No Hi State I met, when you went to a
11:46
high state. We scored three? Oh, okay three. We were in
11:54
like the nine thousands, I think or something. It was a lot of
11:56
games, a lot of games. So dak to me on Saturday, how
12:01
does Nebraska score points against Michigan. You don't throw the ball more than fifteen
12:09
times. If you say triple option, deck, I thought that was for
12:13
sure the answer, Well, that was coming next. Yes, it doesn't
12:20
have to me triple any kind of option. That's all. You gotta run.
12:22
You can't just hand the ball off straight down the middle every time.
12:26
God damn it. Run a run a bleep licker. I agree, we're
12:33
gonna have to. I yeah, often. What are your thoughts on how
12:37
do we score? You know, if I knew, I'm sure if I
12:48
feel like I knew how to score, I'm sure coach Rule would know how
12:52
to score. But the fact that I don't know makes me think that I'm
12:58
really glad we're paining him a lot of money because he should know. Because
13:01
I have no freaking idea. Michigan's defense is good. Number one scoring defense.
13:07
Correct, they're up there. Yeah, I think they've allowed like seven
13:11
three, six and six or something like that. We've got to be one
13:13
of the worst scoring offenses, but we have the best rush defense ITAs like
13:18
ship State every every week. So so here's here's what I thought of.
13:26
One. If we have any chance to win like at all, and there's
13:31
gonna need to be multiple plays of like a pick six or a blocked pump
13:35
for a touchdown, or a tipped pass that bounces off with two guys and
13:39
ends up in one of our wide open guys Andy sprints for a touchdown,
13:43
Like we're gonna need a lot of those weird plays to happen, flute plays.
13:48
And on top of that, offensively, if we do what we've been
13:52
doing for four games, we're gonna we're gonna score seven, ten points,
13:58
three points, maybe zero. So now I say that because I actually like
14:05
the style and the approach with what we've been doing. I think that that
14:09
could be successful in the long term. But that style is not going to
14:15
give you the upside to be a top three team that also plays the exact
14:22
same way that Michigan is about the blueprints that we're after, I think from
14:26
what we can tell right now. So here's the adjustment. You can continue
14:31
to do what you do, dak Man. I am agreeing with you so
14:35
much here. I don't like it, but I don't throw it more than
14:37
fifteen times. And when you do throw it, you are taking your couple
14:41
of like really deep shots when not on first and ten or second and ten,
14:46
like on second and a half a yard. If we get any of
14:48
those, like see what we can do. And then your fleeth liquor idea
14:54
that is like that that's a must, like not the fleef liquor itself,
14:58
but low risk gadget trick plays. Not your triple reverse that if you get
15:07
tackled, you lose twenty yards, but you your flee flickers. You're like
15:11
maybe a fullback trap or a halfback pass, which we already showed little things
15:20
like that. That yeah, play blows up in our face, doesn't kill
15:24
you. But we have to be creative. And it might even be a
15:28
different formation, like a diamond formation or the triple option, like the old
15:33
triple option. Just something that's going to catch them off guard and get us
15:37
a drive to score like we did against Ohio State a few years back and
15:43
had that one like full back triple option drive and went down the field and
15:48
scored. We need something like that. That's in my mind to like put
15:54
some points because what we've been doing against average defenses. If that, I
16:00
think we thought minutes of this deepness might be really good. Will Northwestern put
16:03
up thirty whatever on him? That's my thought. I know the long thought,
16:08
but I can't disagree because everything has to go right for our offensive score,
16:18
like everything. I mean, we can run the ball, and I
16:22
think we'll do all right running the ball, but kind of like we talked
16:26
last week, when Harvard tucks it and runs, or when he goes through
16:30
that speed option and set where he hasn't pitched it yet, he just holds
16:33
onto the ball, they're gonna send a freaking linebacker and just obliterate him because
16:37
they're gonna be way more athletic than Louisiana Tech was there that ground so much
16:42
quicker. And on top of that, with the option, if we want
16:47
to even be in the game, we cannot turn the ball over. And
16:51
I'm already like that's a I'm already envisioning a just a crazy ass pitch like
16:57
that we turn out has he pitched it yet? Nope, That's why,
17:04
And that's what I'm saying. Michigan's gonna come in there, super fascinats gonna
17:08
be like, well, I'm gonna have to pitch it, but he hasn't
17:11
pitched it yet. So our best chance of winning this game with our offense
17:18
is to let them score zero points and we kick a game winning field goal
17:21
from fifty yards away. You can't let him get like take hits all game
17:26
either like that, because if you go to party, you're really screwed.
17:30
You're skipping over our number one dak Jeff. Since do you think he's gonna
17:34
play? You think he's gonna start, I think he'll play. I'll think
17:37
I'll start. I think I think he will play unless unless Heinrich comes out
17:44
and does have a very solid game, which he could. I mean,
17:48
I think he's more hurt than we think, right, And they said that
17:52
in practice, sim has been taken and they've been splitting reps, but they
17:56
didn't say that he's not fully one hundred percent, but he's been taking a
17:59
lot of reps because they've been splitting him with the top group. So I
18:02
think Harborg, like we said, it's his job kind of to lose.
18:06
But at the same time, it's not like he's got a We're like gonna
18:10
let him go forever. If he has a couple of bad drives and maybe
18:15
it's not even his fault, I can see us going with a like we've
18:18
said, I'm more high risk, high reward guy with Jeff Simms, especially
18:22
in the third quarter, you know, if we're down ten to three,
18:25
we're still in the game. I can see that switch happening. I also
18:30
am curious to see how Heinrich does against a Michigan caliber team, and they
18:37
are obviously a step above what Sim's got to see in the first two games,
18:41
but he may get put in a lot of third longs, I mean
18:45
second and nine, third and twelves, Like what are we going to be
18:48
running? Or are we just going to run a draw for four yards and
18:52
punt it away. Maybe that's the solution. I don't know, but we
18:56
are probably going to see some adversity hit and strike with Harborg. Let's see
19:00
how he handles it. And that's where I think Sims will come in at
19:03
some point. I don't know if it'll be the first half or second half
19:07
or what that is, assuming he's able to but that you're right, we
19:11
don't. We don't. We don't want Cheba party in the game. We
19:12
don't. I don't think not at all. He's the one good thing which
19:21
I think you will definitely keep you in the game is they loved her on
19:25
the ball, and that's your best party. Your team is your run defense,
19:29
and I don't think j J. J. McCarthy's good at all.
19:32
I've never thought he's good. So I think your defense will keep you in
19:36
the game. But your offense, who's your second wide receiver behind Camp Washington,
19:44
probably Mars Washington. Yeah, he's god. You guys are your weapons
19:51
aren't terrible. It's you're right, guys. I'm still I'm still sticking to
19:56
it. Jeff Simms is our best weapon. I agree. We said that
20:03
week one, like he is our playmaker that we have. Yeah, I
20:12
don't think this game is gonna be one from our offense. Is gonna be
20:15
one from our defense. So yes, we have to get at our offense
20:22
itself is not going to score three touchdowns. It it's not from special teams
20:29
through defense, right, it's not capable. So if there is a chance
20:33
to win this game, which I'm not saying there is it, those things
20:37
have to happen, like the Fluke things. Let's flip over to the other
20:41
side of the ball, Dack. You mentioned our defense, who sat statistically
20:48
has looked very good through the first four games, towards the top, if
20:52
not at the top, and some of the rushing categories. Michigan's offense has
20:59
not done anything spectacular. They are probably one of, if not the best
21:06
team at controlling the clock, just putting together at eight minute drive, fourteen
21:12
minute fourteen play, eight minute drive, just humiliating you in the second,
21:18
third, fourth quarter. But they're not one that's going to come out like
21:22
Ohio State could, I don't think and score fifty five. Now, they
21:26
did that last year to us if I remember right, But Michigan, what
21:32
was last year's score. I thought it was Foster than that. I'll look
21:34
it up. You keep talking. Last year was a shitty game. It
21:37
was with smother started it. I'm pretty sure we got demolished fire four three
21:45
to thirty four. Okay, so yeah, but even then thirty four points,
21:48
I guess wasn't as bad. So they don't blow teams out. So
21:52
I think if you're going into the game thinking, oh, we're playing the
21:53
number team in the country, we're not very good, the blowout is gonna
21:59
look like they're games happened thirty one to six, thirty eight to seven.
22:02
Haven't scored over thirty five this year and they haven't played great teams. Now,
22:06
some of that is they get up big in the first half and then
22:10
they're just putting in their backups in the second half. But that really that's
22:15
what people say. When you look at the stats, it's like, well,
22:18
yeah, offensively, maybe their running backs get a little bit more.
22:22
They go pretty deep on running backs and maybe wide receivers. But J.
22:26
J. McCarthy has been in almost every single snap except for four and they
22:33
play Let's see who have they played UNLV. Let's just run through their schedule.
22:38
They beat East Carolina thirty to three, UNLV thirty five to seven,
22:42
Bowling Green thirty one to six, and Rutgers thirty one to seven. So
22:48
they're not playing Juggernauts, No, and Rutgers Like last week, the first
22:53
play of the game they ran a slant across the middle and took off a
22:56
score. That was their seventh. Yeah, they're they're running backs are like
23:03
you mentioned that that's their strength, right. Blake Korum and Donovan Edwards there
23:07
two of best bringing backs in the Big Ten, potentially even in the country.
23:12
Corum's got eight touchdowns already on the year's average to a game, So
23:17
like, those two guys are their key. But Karthy complete percentage, so
23:22
but but think about probably where he's throwing it, like it's probably your simple
23:26
four or five yards down field. Now, they do have a touchdown receiving
23:33
guy in Roman Wilson. He's got six of them on the year he's been
23:36
there. Go to Cornelis Johnson recognized that name as well. They're going to
23:41
run the ball primarily and try to get you with the play action. It
23:47
is. It is the ideal system that you want to run. Nebraska,
23:52
I think wants to get to and have the talent to do it at a
23:59
high level and be a top five program. It's like that's what we're trying
24:03
to mirror right now. I'm not saying we're getting there anytime soon, if
24:07
ever. But it's the same style, so it's not a clash of styles.
24:14
They're just gonna do it probably ten times better than all Right, this
24:19
won't be in my home Source Baker game on Saturday. This is It might
24:23
not be a fun watch, but I don't I could see the first two
24:33
twenty four wins it. I think twenty four points is the max for either
24:38
for both teams. What. I just don't think both offenses are that good.
24:45
The quorum's really good. They've both of it. Both Edwards and Korum
24:51
did have surgeries this offseason. And they lost their starting center and one of
24:56
their tackles. I want to say who their center last year won the Brimmington
25:03
Award, I believe so. I mean, that was a pretty big loss
25:07
for them from last year from what they were doing, because last year they
25:10
were absolutely obliterating everyone running the ball. This year they're just doing really,
25:14
really, really well running the ball. I think we will know if it
25:21
will be a thirty five to three six game or a twenty four to thirteen
25:27
game on the first drive when they run the ball down our throat by watching
25:32
by say, by watching the line of scrimmage, because their skill players are
25:37
by far better than ours, right, But the style that both teams play
25:40
with in the strengths of both teams defenses, like it's going to come down
25:47
to whose offensive line can move the other. And if we're able to hold
25:52
our own up there early on with our very mediocre or below mediocre offensive line
26:00
been maybe we'll be okay to keep it within a score or two and have
26:06
the potential to do something crazy at the end. But I mean, if
26:08
they if they're getting six seven eight yards of punch from the get going,
26:11
we're getting one two negative yards, that'll tell you how the game's gonna go.
26:17
But I still don't think it's going to be a blowout fifty some to
26:21
three, like it'll it'll be thirty eight to seven. So I think we'll
26:27
know though, pretty early on in the game, and hopefully for the fans
26:32
sake, will you will hold our own for a little bit. Yeah,
26:37
I think Hodder and hell too. Is it nineties in basically October almost already?
26:45
It's crazy? Oh yeah. I think the first truck Michigan's first offensive
26:52
drive, if they just march it down the field and run it down our
26:55
throats, it's gonna be a long freaking day because that's that is the only
27:00
front that you feel good about as a Nebraska fan. And if they just
27:03
absolutely destroyed on the first drive, that's gonna deflate the stadium so quickly or
27:10
since so hot out let him score two ninety nine our touchdowns wrought the bat,
27:14
make him pass out there you go? God, that was just that
27:18
was one of your worst takes you've had. I think that'll work, though,
27:26
better, better get get that over to Barsels. Let can get to
27:29
coach rule. Just let him score. Yep. And the good part is
27:36
hard Boss had the whole off season to prepare it too. That's true with
27:41
you back last week. I think he was back last week. He was
27:45
okay, so he had he had a game before this, but he probably
27:48
prepared for this one too. It's not like they play anybody really. I
27:51
mean, we were probably their circled game to start the year, but maybe
27:56
we aren't anymore. And they played Minnesota next to We get like their schedule,
28:00
they just they don't play the meat of it till the end. Michigan
28:07
self imposed suspension on Harbor. Harbor only happened to happen over the non conference
28:15
games. They're they're tough schedule and they never play anybody on non conference outside
28:19
of maybe Notre Dame. All right, well we'll get to score predictions here
28:26
at the end. DA, how's your picks? You got them ready to
28:33
ready for a week? Five? I am ready? How was your record
28:37
last week? Four? Five and one? I believe you're still out yep.
28:45
I'm like, I don't know what I am. We'll add it up
28:49
later, but way to come prepared, yep. First plush of the year
28:56
though, first push put that tie on the Which game was that? Ohe
29:02
you they just couldn't score. They looked really good, though, National champs
29:07
after that game. It's because you're not wearing their hat anymore. You've switched
29:11
over to the official Returnment Glory podcast hat. Yeah, I'm a ficial on
29:15
the podcast. Now you just wait, I start rocking that tank top.
29:21
But you do got that burn orange they're on in your shirt right now?
29:23
No, this is this is the actress. This ain't this, This ain't
29:27
hey next week. I can't freaking wait. Red River, red River.
29:37
You might have to give a full five minute preview on that game, just
29:40
by yourself. I cannot wait. All right, minute on the clock,
29:45
ready, yep, go all right, we'll start out here. Oh you
29:49
minus twenty they're gonna kill I was say I would think it's awful. Colorado
29:52
plus twenty one and a half. I hope to god they just win this
29:56
game. I hate USC screw you, all right enough, ask a plus
30:00
eight team. I don't know if if Michigan team and the story team points,
30:03
it's you're either team will scorey team points. All right, we got
30:07
Missouri minus thirteen and a half versus Vandy. They're gonna kill Vandy. B
30:12
Yu money line uver. Since since he can't do anything on offense. And
30:18
then we got Minnesota. My flaming over Blue Danna. I hope the guy
30:22
that can beat Bluie Dana by eleven. We'll see Kansas plus sixteen and a
30:26
half over over Texas. Fuck Texas. South Carolina plus twelve over Tennessee.
30:33
Shout rat Dog. Air Force minus tend a half over San Diego State.
30:37
Air Force is freaking to get this year. Book it. They're going to
30:41
undefeated. And then we got Alabama Mississippi State or forty six and a half.
30:45
Both teams can score a lot. I think Missigan State could beat them.
30:48
Time love it, Dak. That was that was impressive this week,
30:56
got through ten of them. I don't love the picks this week, but
31:00
I do you like how you demonstrate up pick them. You're just like fuck
31:03
USC, fuck Texas. You never said which side you were picking. You're
31:07
just like bad fuck we all we always get, oh you, we always
31:14
get team against Texas. We always get South Carolina line up for rat Dog.
31:23
I am company in Colorado. USC looks like garbages here? Do they
31:30
look worse than Colorado? Last week? Game? Didn't Maplin? They played
31:36
USC has played much better bonus than Colorado. I just hope they beat USC.
31:41
I hate Lincoln Riley and Cable Williams. Someone's a little scorned. Yeah,
31:48
I'm jealousy, not gonna lie day. My favorite cake and pick out
31:55
of all of that was your air Force. I love, I love air
32:00
for US. I dak you. That triple option right there has been It's
32:04
so funny, it really is. I enjoy watching it. And look at
32:07
the rushing yard right now in the country. They they're like thirteen hundred through
32:13
four games and the next closest is like in a thousand, Like they're just
32:16
dominating everybody in rushing yards. They're actually really good. If you can find
32:22
a bet to take them going under fee this year, I would take it.
32:25
You're terrible. USC Trojans have not scored less than forty two points this
32:30
year. Yeah, you know, wait till they get elevation. You and
32:40
your elevation in Colorado. Guy, it's gonna be buying the Volleyball Day commemorative
32:47
piece of the court for ninety two dollars and three cents. Shouldn't we get
32:52
one for free being a podcast for the Huskers. You're right, it probably
32:55
should. There's only five thousand available. Oh, you have got mine in
33:01
ordered. Do you think we see Joshua Fleekes has running back this week?
33:06
Did you see? I did see that. That's very interesting. That also
33:09
is very telling what we have left. And I don't know. I think
33:16
I like. I like the thought a six year receiver converting running back.
33:23
I like the thought, you know, find a way to get him the
33:25
ball. What's this? What's this about? You guys are trying to have
33:32
your own Travis Hunter offense, defense, special teams. We have to talk
33:37
about Tommy Hill. I don't even know who that is. Who is this
33:42
guy? He doesn't start Arizona State transfer last year, Right, you're supposed
33:50
to be really good back and then it was really bad he basically and then
33:54
so then they moved him over to wide receiver and Hunt returner and he kept
33:59
fuming in the ball and now he's back to defense. And then they used
34:02
him at offense last year or this last game. So I don't know the
34:07
way they talk about him. He's good at everything, that's what they're acting
34:10
like, idol. He's okay at everything. The other podcast I really enjoy
34:15
listening to is a Nick Boss podcast, and I get a lot of good
34:21
thoughts and ideas from I steal probably a lot of them on here, so
34:23
hopefully don't get copyright sued for that. But the one thing that they like
34:29
to say about him is he's the guy at practice that just anytime there's you
34:32
know, a drill or someone they ask for a volunteer, he just like
34:35
jumps in like pick me, pick me, I'll do it. I'll do
34:38
it. And so like coaches just love him because he just does whatever he
34:43
wants him to do. And then he was going to transfer out and did
34:45
stick around. He just he it'd be different if he was like has shown
34:52
that he's been good at something in dynamic like he has little. He has
34:55
been here now for two years and has done nothing like except some punt returns.
35:00
And he was always the one last year dude that would like take it
35:04
out of the end zone when it was like five yards Zeep on kick cosson
35:07
which trying to get a return and then we get tackled like the seventeen and
35:10
be like what the hell, Yep is her prime returner this year because they're
35:15
talking about like they wanted to return kid last week. Yeah he did to
35:20
get put back there. I can't I think it was Ramier usually is back
35:24
there, and when Ramier went down, yeah it was, Tommy was up.
35:32
That's just how it goes. I guess Tommy Hill. Tommy Hill prepping
35:37
for nebrasketball. I saw I saw Tominagua as ranked number one shooter in the
35:44
nation. Cats. I don't tell me we don't got talent on that basketball
35:52
team. He might be. I mean, he played for a national level
35:57
squad and he did well. I mean in the FEVA tournament, he actually
36:01
did pretty well. As far as scoring against actual global talent, he did
36:07
well. Yeah. I just saw him hit a three over Luca. Pretty
36:10
badass. YEP. Volleyball update. We played pur Due tomorrow. We swept
36:17
number twelve Minnesota. It wasn't even hard s been it signed enough volleyball and
36:23
we look good, look really freaking good. Berkan Riley, Harper Murray.
36:29
They looked like freaking studs. All right. Score prediction time, Oh,
36:37
Bretze, you guys go first. I'm gonna be boring and go with the
36:45
implied line from the spread and the total twenty seven ten what I said earlier,
36:57
Yeah, let's you go off the map here thirty thirty one Nebraska.
37:05
Oh, Hey, you said it if minor garbage starts were winning. Yeah,
37:08
I know, and I gotta stick to it. I'm coming into on
37:14
Monday. I was like, okay, you know what, they haven't shot
37:15
this, and then as day's good one, I keep thinking there's no shot
37:17
in hell. I just don't know. I don't know how they're gonna do
37:22
it. Thirty one thirteen Michigan. Do you think they storm the field if
37:36
Nebraska wins? Yes, as they should. I've clarified this before. If
37:39
you be the top five opponent and you are unranked, you have every right
37:45
to storm in the field. I'll be on it. Last thing, leave
37:52
you guys with you have to go look it up. Look at Notre Dame's
37:54
alternative lyrics. If you Michigan's fight song, DAK have that memorized for Sunday
38:00
at the tailgate we will be singing in unison, but look at the lyrics.
38:06
It's hilarious. I'll pribly send them. Do you as well, so
38:08
we'll be back tailgate pod Saturday, Go Big Red vr B my sooner.
38:15
I love that burnt Orange Dude,
