Hutton & Withrow: Arch Manning Apologizes, College GameDay Under Fire & Vanderbilt Turns to Jared Curtis · Hutton & Withrow Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Good morning. We are out of the gates and ready
0:02
Speaker 1: to go on a Wednesday morning. Hope everyone's having a
0:06
Speaker 1: great start to your day right now. I am Chad Withrow.
0:09
Speaker 1: It is the Hutton and Withrow Show, normally. Today, it
0:12
Speaker 1: is the Chad Withrow Show, which is fine because I
0:15
Speaker 1: got a lot on my mind. I've got a lot
0:17
Speaker 1: to get to this morning. If you're watching this on YouTube,
0:20
Speaker 1: we say good morning. We're on podcast. We are everywhere
0:24
Speaker 1: that we can be found, whether it be audio, video.
0:27
Speaker 1: Make sure you're checking us out. We're also on the
0:29
Speaker 1: Daily Wires. homepage. We've got our own vertical there as well.
0:33
Speaker 1: So we are filling in all the blanks of where
0:36
Speaker 1: you can consume this show. And we appreciate you being here.
0:39
Speaker 1: I got asked a question the other night at the
0:40
Speaker 1: softball field from someone who is a big fan of
0:43
Speaker 1: Clay Travis, a big fan of our show. And they
0:46
Speaker 1: asked the question, what is Sporting State? Is it Outkick 2.0?
0:51
Speaker 1: Is it just another version of that? Is it something
0:53
Speaker 1: totally different? And I think the best descriptor that I
0:56
Speaker 1: have for sport and state right now, and I think
0:58
Speaker 1: Clay might agree, maybe not. I'm sure he would say
1:00
Speaker 1: it way more eloquently than I will. But sport and
1:04
Speaker 1: state is what Outkick was in the beginning when Clay
1:08
Speaker 1: launched it in 2011. It's way closer to that. It's
1:12
Speaker 1: a little bit more fun loving. It's a little bit
1:14
Speaker 1: more Southern. It's way more sports focused on what we're
1:18
Speaker 1: talking about. Now, what we're also willing to do at
1:22
Speaker 1: sport and state is is give you the contrary opinion
1:26
Speaker 1: to what you might normally see across sports media. And
1:30
Speaker 1: here is what we're normally seeing in sports media in
1:33
Speaker 1: regards to the latest story involving Arch Manning and Manning
1:36
Speaker 1: and Holly Rowe. So if you don't know all the
1:40
Speaker 1: background of this, over the weekend, Steve Sarkeesian, if we're
1:44
Speaker 1: going to point fingers at who started it, Steve Sarkeesian
1:47
Speaker 1: started it on Saturday night. He got pissy at halftime
1:51
Speaker 1: because ESPN had technical difficulties. and he left the halftime interview.
1:55
Speaker 1: Laura Rutledge explained it and said, hey, if anybody's owed
1:58
Speaker 1: an apology, it's Coach Sark because he had to wait
2:00
Speaker 1: on us, and eventually he decided to leave. So that happens.
2:03
Speaker 1: Then postgame, there's something going on with him and Holly Rowe.
2:07
Speaker 1: Holly Rowe looks down at the mic for a second,
2:09
Speaker 1: and then Steve Sarkeesian gives the hook-em sign and takes
2:12
Speaker 1: off running, and Holly Rowe goes pouting and storming off
2:16
Speaker 1: like a 13-year-old, what it looked like to me. That
2:18
Speaker 1: was scorned by her middle school boyfriend. That's the way
2:22
Speaker 1: Holly Rowe reacted to it. I don't think either one
2:23
Speaker 1: of them handled it well, but way more blame goes
2:27
Speaker 1: to Steve Sarkeesian in that moment than it does Holly Rowe.
2:31
Speaker 1: So the media jumps in. I jump in. I say, hey, look,
2:34
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian looks like a jerk in this whole situation,
2:37
Speaker 1: which he did for what he was doing. There's no
2:40
Speaker 1: excuse not to just be a decent human and stand
2:43
Speaker 1: there for one minute maybe and celebrate your team's success
2:47
Speaker 1: and sell the Texas Longhorns to To America that's watching
2:51
Speaker 1: that game at that point. I don't know why he
2:53
Speaker 1: felt the need to do that. It was ridiculous. It
2:55
Speaker 1: was childish. It was this and that. If anyone owed
2:58
Speaker 1: anybody an apology at that point, to me, and I'm
3:01
Speaker 1: not a big forced apology person. Let me reframe that.
3:04
Speaker 1: I'm not a forced apology person at all. If you
3:06
Speaker 1: truly mean it, then you can apologize publicly to someone.
3:10
Speaker 1: If you truly owe that person an apology, you can
3:13
Speaker 1: do it. If I had to pick someone in this
3:15
Speaker 1: story that owed an apology, it was Steve Sarkeesian in
3:18
Speaker 1: that moment. Hey, Holly. Sorry. Hey, ESPN, television partner that
3:24
Speaker 1: pays $ 3 billion to my conference and helps pay my salary.
3:28
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Shouldn't have acted like that. Should have just
3:30
Speaker 1: stood there and been a professional and taken the questions
3:33
Speaker 1: and gotten out of there within a minute. Wouldn't have
3:35
Speaker 1: been difficult at all, especially after an emotional win like
3:38
Speaker 1: that where you get a chance to celebrate on national TV.
3:41
Speaker 1: But instead, he acted that way, and he ran off.
3:44
Speaker 1: I think Steve Sarkeesian owed the apology at that point, okay?
3:49
Speaker 1: The person who does not owe anyone apology is Arch Manning.
3:54
Speaker 1: Arch Manning, during a press conference, laughs at a stupid
3:59
Speaker 1: AI-generated video of his coach slapping Holly Roe, okay? Was
4:05
Speaker 1: the video funny? I didn't find it very funny. Was
4:08
Speaker 1: I overly offended by it, knowing it's just a dumb
4:11
Speaker 1: AI edit? No, I wasn't overly offended about it. There's
4:15
Speaker 1: way more offensive things happening in sports and with violence
4:19
Speaker 1: towards women than what was on that video and a
4:22
Speaker 1: 22-year-old Arch Manning laughing at what was on that video.
4:26
Speaker 1: Way more things to get upset about than that. But
4:30
Speaker 1: Arch Manning decided, hey, it's time to apologize. Here is
4:33
Speaker 1: his apology. He says, in my press conference yesterday, I
4:36
Speaker 1: made an insensitive comment about an AI video. There is
4:39
Speaker 1: nothing funny about it. It's easy to say I didn't
4:41
Speaker 1: mean it. but I know my words and actions were
4:43
Speaker 1: hurtful to a lot of people. I do not take
4:45
Speaker 1: that lightly, and I'm deeply sorry for that. I specifically
4:48
Speaker 1: want to apologize to Holly Rowe for what she has
4:51
Speaker 1: personally had to deal with because of my comments. I
4:53
Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for her and appreciate her
4:56
Speaker 1: showing me grace in this moment. I need to do
4:58
Speaker 1: better and will be more thoughtful going forward. Okay, first off,
5:02
Speaker 1: I don't know what Holly Rowe is having to deal with, okay?
5:05
Speaker 1: I'm online, too. I get a lot of mean things
5:07
Speaker 1: said to me every single day. hosting a show like this.
5:11
Speaker 1: Everybody who's online and in the public eye in any way, shape,
5:14
Speaker 1: or form is going to have mean things said to
5:16
Speaker 1: them on Twitter and online. What I've seen in defense
5:19
Speaker 1: of Holly Roe, to me, from reputable journalists like Nicole
5:24
Speaker 1: Auerbach or whoever it may be, in support of Holly Roe,
5:27
Speaker 1: starting with the Steve Sarkeesian moment, to me, greatly outweighs
5:32
Speaker 1: any hate she gets from faceless, nameless Twitter bots online.
5:38
Speaker 1: I think she's getting way more support than she is
5:40
Speaker 1: criticism over everything that's gone on, okay? But I don't know.
5:44
Speaker 1: I don't know what else she's gotten online or what
5:46
Speaker 1: else is happening. But Arch Manning is not the one
5:49
Speaker 1: bringing that on to Holly Rowe. Arch Manning's a good kid.
5:53
Speaker 1: He's from a great family. This is what the Manning
5:56
Speaker 1: family does. They take the high road, right? Outside of
6:00
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning calling Mike Vanderjagt a liquored-up kicker and going
6:04
Speaker 1: off on him right before he got cut for– complaining
6:08
Speaker 1: about Peyton's play one season, typically the Manning family eventually
6:12
Speaker 1: takes the high road. Part of their brand is class, right?
6:16
Speaker 1: So it doesn't really surprise me that that family would
6:19
Speaker 1: orchestrate some apology in some way, okay? And I don't
6:23
Speaker 1: want to rain on the apology. He probably means it,
6:26
Speaker 1: all of those things. He can do whatever he wants.
6:29
Speaker 1: But the fact that we are in a place right
6:32
Speaker 1: now in media where Arch Manning feels like he has
6:35
Speaker 1: to apologize. For being a 22-year-old kid who laughed at
6:38
Speaker 1: a dumb video, I don't think Arch Manning condones violence
6:41
Speaker 1: against women. I don't think any of that. Did I
6:43
Speaker 1: find the video funny? No, it wasn't that clever. Did
6:47
Speaker 1: I find that stupid golf ad that got canceled where
6:49
Speaker 1: the guy knocks over the woman who's about to use
6:52
Speaker 1: his driver funny? No, it was stupid. It was a
6:55
Speaker 1: bad decision. It was dumb. Do I think the company
6:57
Speaker 1: should cease to move forward because of a bad marketing decision? No,
7:01
Speaker 1: I don't. And I think the main thing that bothers
7:05
Speaker 1: me is what bothers Karen Krause at Sporting State, who
7:09
Speaker 1: wrote a great column either last night or this morning.
7:12
Speaker 1: I happened to read it this morning before the show,
7:14
Speaker 1: where she goes into the faux outrage of media members
7:18
Speaker 1: in regard to Holly Roe and Arch Manning and everything else.
7:20
Speaker 1: The same media members, Nicole Auerbach, whoever it may be,
7:23
Speaker 1: they're silent when a dude at the Olympics is punching
7:27
Speaker 1: a woman on television. Where a person that has male chromosomes...
7:35
Speaker 1: who was disqualified from previous events, and by the way,
7:38
Speaker 1: has not boxed since the Olympics. When that happens, and
7:42
Speaker 1: the woman that is beaten up in the ring is
7:45
Speaker 1: saying this isn't right and being forced to shake the
7:47
Speaker 1: hand of the guy that just punched her, where's Nicole
7:51
Speaker 1: Auerbach on that? And look, you don't have to comment
7:55
Speaker 1: on every issue out there, okay? I'm sure someone's going
7:59
Speaker 1: to tweet at me and say, well, you didn't comment
8:00
Speaker 1: on this or you didn't comment on that. It's a
8:03
Speaker 1: free country. You can be outraged by whatever you want to.
8:06
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of America, right? What insults you or
8:09
Speaker 1: offends you may not insult or offend me. And people
8:13
Speaker 1: certainly can go out of their way to be offended
8:15
Speaker 1: by anything. Hence, Arch Manning laughing at an AI-generated video.
8:19
Speaker 1: But if you're going to be about it, be about it.
8:23
Speaker 1: If you're going to be a staunch anti-violence against women person,
8:27
Speaker 1: then the same outrage you're showing towards Arch Manning, I
8:31
Speaker 1: want you to carry that same energy to Iman Khalif.
8:34
Speaker 1: I want you to carry that same energy to a
8:37
Speaker 1: male swimmer who beats Riley Gaines. I want you to
8:40
Speaker 1: carry that same energy to Josh Jacobs, to people who
8:44
Speaker 1: have committed actual acts of violence against women. And not
8:47
Speaker 1: some 22-year-old kid. I'm not going to say kid. 22-year-old man,
8:52
Speaker 1: a young man who laughs at an AI-generated video. Let's
8:57
Speaker 1: keep it consistent. Let's be about it all the time.
9:00
Speaker 1: Let's not jump on the publicity train. Because it suits
9:03
Speaker 1: you in that moment. And be outraged by something because
9:06
Speaker 1: the Texas quarterback laughed at it. Or the grown men
9:09
Speaker 1: in the room who laughed. By the way, the grown
9:11
Speaker 1: men in the room who laughed, they're all Texas sycophants
9:14
Speaker 1: more than likely, who laughed because Arch Manning said something
9:17
Speaker 1: and smiled. I doubt any of them even saw the video.
9:20
Speaker 1: Half of them probably don't even know how to work Twitter.
9:22
Speaker 1: That laughed in that room, okay? Save me your outrage
9:26
Speaker 1: when it comes to that. Arch Manning owes an apology
9:29
Speaker 1: to no one. He did it. It's fine. Everybody can
9:32
Speaker 1: move on. I don't see it. I don't see it.
9:37
Speaker 1: I think that if anybody owes an apology in this situation,
9:40
Speaker 1: it's Steve Sarkeesian. And I'm sure the Texas fans are
9:42
Speaker 1: going to say mean things to me over this because
9:44
Speaker 1: I'm daring that their coach should have to apologize for anything.
9:47
Speaker 1: But he should. If anyone's going to apologize, it's him. Hey,
9:51
Speaker 1: we've got a great show for you coming your way
9:52
Speaker 1: this morning. When we come back, college game day. Is
9:56
Speaker 1: it on the decline because they interviewed Ted Cruz for
9:59
Speaker 1: 10 minutes? in a one-on-one while the crowd chanted, Ted,
10:03
Speaker 1: you suck the entire time behind him? Is it on
10:06
Speaker 1: the decline because of too much Pat McAfee? I'll discuss
10:09
Speaker 1: when we come back. This is Hutton and Withrow's show
10:11
Speaker 1: on the Sporting State Network. We're back. Hutton and Withrow's

11:13
Speaker 1: wrote a big opinion piece on the possible demise of
11:17
Speaker 1: of ESPN's College Game Day. Now, the center of this
11:21
Speaker 1: is from an awful announcing team, which, let's face it,
11:24
Speaker 1: pretty left-leaning when it comes to, I would say that,
11:27
Speaker 1: but it's a lot like most media going, okay? I
11:31
Speaker 1: got no problem with awful announcing. I think a lot
11:33
Speaker 1: of stuff they do is really good. But a lot
11:35
Speaker 1: of times they write something, it is coded a bit
11:39
Speaker 1: in a left-leaning sentiment, okay? They're outraged. They're upset that
11:45
Speaker 1: College Game Day dared to have Senator Ted Cruz on
11:49
Speaker 1: their show from Austin this past weekend. All right, Ted
11:52
Speaker 1: Cruz is the head of the Protect College Sports Act.
11:55
Speaker 1: He is the one rallying different politicians to get this done.
11:59
Speaker 1: Part of the rallying team, the lobbyists to get this
12:02
Speaker 1: passed through Congress, is Nick Saban, who's on the set
12:06
Speaker 1: on College Game Day every single week. Does not surprise
12:09
Speaker 1: me that Ted Cruz... would be an invited guest and
12:12
Speaker 1: someone that's there to push this legislation to get some
12:15
Speaker 1: guardrails up for college football and college sports, okay? None
12:19
Speaker 1: of that really surprises me. Do I like it on
12:21
Speaker 1: college game day? No, I don't. I watched two minutes
12:26
Speaker 1: of the video and quite frankly, it looks like any
12:29
Speaker 1: interview with any politician, it's not interesting to me, okay?
12:33
Speaker 1: There's plenty of places you can go and get interviews
12:36
Speaker 1: with politicians and you're going to hear a lot of
12:39
Speaker 1: the same thing. They're going to talk about what their
12:42
Speaker 1: party wants them to talk about. They're going to talk
12:44
Speaker 1: about what they think their constituency wants them to talk about.
12:48
Speaker 1: And all of it, quite frankly, becomes increasingly boring to
12:51
Speaker 1: me when I watch it. Do I get offended that
12:55
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz came on? No. I saw Clay post that
12:58
Speaker 1: a year ago, they had the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania,
13:02
Speaker 1: I think, on one of their shows also. And The
13:04
Speaker 1: same people who were mad weren't mad about that. Yeah,
13:07
Speaker 1: I get all that. We can play this game over
13:10
Speaker 1: and over. It's like shampoo. Let's rinse and repeat. You know,
13:13
Speaker 1: one side gets the spotlight and the other side's pissed off,
13:16
Speaker 1: and then one side gets the spotlight, and they're not
13:18
Speaker 1: mad when their side gets it. Or if it's, hey,
13:20
Speaker 1: let's keep politics out of sports, what you really mean
13:23
Speaker 1: is let's keep your politics out of sport. If my
13:26
Speaker 1: politics are in sports, it's fine, guys. You see why
13:30
Speaker 1: you want to have a senator on college game day?
13:32
Speaker 1: Let's do it. I thought Ted Cruz was fine. I
13:35
Speaker 1: think the Protect College Sports Act is fine. It's better
13:38
Speaker 1: than nothing. It's something that needs to be done to
13:41
Speaker 1: have some rules and regulations within college football, which I
13:45
Speaker 1: think everybody who follows the sport ultimately wants. Everybody who's
13:47
Speaker 1: in the sport wants a little bit more rules. People
13:51
Speaker 1: say college football is like the NFL. It's not. The
13:54
Speaker 1: NFL has rules. You can't bounce from one team to
13:57
Speaker 1: the next because you're under contract for multiple years. Coaches
14:01
Speaker 1: can't leave for one NFL job for another for more
14:04
Speaker 1: money because they're under contract. There are rules. College football
14:08
Speaker 1: needs the same. It is a huge business, much like
14:12
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's the second most popular sport in America.
14:16
Speaker 1: So let's have some rules. I'm with Ted Cruz on that.
14:19
Speaker 1: Am I with the editorial decision of ESPN to put
14:21
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz on college game day? No, I'm not. Is
14:25
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee overexposed? When I'm sitting there watching Pat McAfee,
14:30
Speaker 1: just happen to have my television on ESPN, on Monday
14:32
Speaker 1: night countdown before the Chiefs-Broncos game, and he is there
14:36
Speaker 1: eating food, eating Kansas City barbecue and talking three hours
14:40
Speaker 1: before kickoff, yeah, I think he's overexposed. Am I going
14:44
Speaker 1: to hate on Pat McAfee for that? Absolutely not. He's
14:47
Speaker 1: making a ton of money. He's very good at what
14:49
Speaker 1: he does. He's high energy. I like Pat McAfee. But
14:52
Speaker 1: is he overexposed?
14:53
Speaker 2: Sure.
14:53
Speaker 1: By definition, yeah. He's on that network far too much.
14:59
Speaker 1: Is he taking more of the spotlight away from college
15:01
Speaker 1: game day? I think anyone that has his personality and
15:06
Speaker 1: his energy is going to take some things away from
15:09
Speaker 1: the set at times because he is such a big
15:13
Speaker 1: energy guy. The focus will go to him when he talks.
15:15
Speaker 1: Do I think that's a negative for college game day? No,
15:18
Speaker 1: I don't. I think that Pat McAfee has been a
15:20
Speaker 1: positive for that broadcast. Nick Saban has been terrific. When
15:23
Speaker 1: Nick Saban talks football, it's terrific on that show. Kirk
15:27
Speaker 1: Herbstreit's always been good. Desmond Howard, he's fine. He's fine.
15:33
Speaker 1: Rhys Davis, I think Rhys Davis is really good at
15:36
Speaker 1: anchoring that show. Is College Game Day on the decline
15:39
Speaker 1: because they had Ted Cruz on their set? Hell no.
15:42
Speaker 1: It's not on the decline for that. Is it on
15:45
Speaker 1: the decline because they pander to Lane Kiffin because they
15:50
Speaker 1: share an agent? Is it on the decline because they
15:53
Speaker 1: too often blindly take the side of any coach, even
15:56
Speaker 1: when the coach is wrong? And they conveniently go after
16:00
Speaker 1: people that they don't have personal relationships with or that
16:03
Speaker 1: are at lesser, quote unquote, lesser programs. It's not a
16:07
Speaker 1: good look. If you wanted me, Chad Withrow, they come
16:11
Speaker 1: in and say, hey, you're going to be our media
16:13
Speaker 1: consultant analyst on this show. Give me the number one
16:16
Speaker 1: thing that harms the credibility of ESPN College Game Day.
16:20
Speaker 1: My number one thing would be you are in Lane
16:24
Speaker 1: Kiffin's lap. Or maybe it's the reverse. Maybe Lane Kiffin
16:27
Speaker 1: is in your lap. Whatever it is, there's too much lap-sitting.
16:30
Speaker 1: There's too much lap-dogging for Lane Kiffin and for the
16:34
Speaker 1: dumb stuff that he does. And any time Lane Kiffin,
16:37
Speaker 1: by the way, steps in it the way he did
16:39
Speaker 1: when he tried to bring in NFL players, and sorry,
16:42
Speaker 1: LSU fans, that's what they are. I don't give a
16:44
Speaker 1: damn if they played in one preseason game or they
16:47
Speaker 1: played seven years NFL. They went and signed NFL contracts
16:51
Speaker 1: and played in NFL preseason games. They're pros at that point.
16:54
Speaker 1: They're NFL players. When he steps in and decides to
16:58
Speaker 1: push that too far until his own school almost gets
17:01
Speaker 1: kicked out of the SEC, you know what the response
17:03
Speaker 1: is from College Game Day and most people who know
17:05
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin? Guys, can we talk about football? Come on.
17:10
Speaker 1: It's time to get over this. Let's talk some ball.
17:12
Speaker 1: We're so ready for football. Kickoff is here. We don't
17:15
Speaker 1: have to talk politics anymore until Ted Cruz is media
17:19
Speaker 1: availed the next week. for college game day. Then let's
17:22
Speaker 1: get back to politics. But let's not talk about our
17:24
Speaker 1: buddy Lane, the guy that we pushed for Ole Miss
17:27
Speaker 1: to allow to coach last year. Speaking of Lane Kiffin,
17:31
Speaker 1: we're going to be in Oxford this weekend, Friday night,
17:33
Speaker 1: Funkies on the square, 7 to 8 p.m. Central time.
17:35
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it with a show around that huge matchup.
17:39
Speaker 1: I am not concerned one bit about security in Oxford, Mississippi.
17:43
Speaker 1: Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry and everyone else acting like they
17:47
Speaker 1: are going to play a game in Tehran This weekend,
17:50
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. Stop it.
17:53
Speaker 2: Stop it.
17:55
Speaker 1: Everyone is far more concerned about going to Baton Rouge
17:57
Speaker 1: than they are Oxford, Mississippi. Look, I pray that I'm
18:00
Speaker 1: right here and there are not a bunch of issues
18:02
Speaker 1: around the stadium and all that. I think it's going
18:05
Speaker 1: to be just fine. Stop using rhetoric like the National
18:08
Speaker 1: Guard and all the security measures for Lane and everything else.
18:12
Speaker 1: Lane has invited every bit of heckling and booze and
18:15
Speaker 1: everything else he's going to get from Ole Miss. AD
18:18
Speaker 1: Keith Carter even said it. Hey, Lane was good here
18:22
Speaker 1: as a coach. Ole Miss people are never going to
18:24
Speaker 1: get over how he's tried to hurt us at every
18:27
Speaker 1: turn since he left. How he was trying to manipulate
18:30
Speaker 1: other coaches and players and everything else. They're not going
18:33
Speaker 1: to get over that fact. And you know what? I
18:35
Speaker 1: don't blame him. I don't blame him. So boo away,
18:38
Speaker 1: Ole Miss fans. We'll be in the stadium with you.
18:41
Speaker 1: Probably not booing, but we'll be right there beside you
18:44
Speaker 1: as we watch Ole Miss and LSU this weekend. Vandy fans,
18:49
Speaker 1: there's more fans next to you, shoulder to shoulder now
18:51
Speaker 1: at games, in large part because of Jared Curtis, the
18:54
Speaker 1: five-star freshman quarterback. We got Vanderbilt football news and so
18:58
Speaker 1: much more when we come back. This is the Hutton &

19:27
Speaker 1: ding your credit score. You find out where you actually
19:30
Speaker 1: stand before you commit to anything. Date the rate. Marry
19:33
Speaker 1: the house. Put that on a t-shirt. However you need
19:35
Speaker 1: to remember it. Get the house you want now. Refinance
19:38
Speaker 1: when rates come down. Stop juggling credit card debt. And
19:42
Speaker 1: if you're buying new construction, ask about the builder program.
19:44
Speaker 1: Builder funded rate buy downs that can get you a
19:47
Speaker 1: rate the bank can't print. Date the rate, marry the house,
19:50
Speaker 1: get the house you want now, refinance and rates come down.

Speaker 1: Equal housing lender. All borrowers must qualify. This advertisement is
20:13
Speaker 1: not a promise to make alone. I promise that the
20:19
Speaker 1: enthusiasm for Vanderbilt football coming off last year is at
20:22
Speaker 1: an all-time high, especially when you add in that they
20:25
Speaker 1: bring in five-star quarterback, number one quarterback in the country,
20:29
Speaker 1: Jared Curtis. That enthusiasm waned when you look back lackluster
20:36
Speaker 1: against the Austin Peay Governors in week one, and Blaise
20:39
Speaker 1: Berlowitz is the starter, and your own fan base is
20:41
Speaker 1: chanting for Jared Curtis to enter the game and be
20:43
Speaker 1: the starter. It really wanes when you get yourself in
20:46
Speaker 1: a dogfight with Delaware, where I think they're down at
20:49
Speaker 1: halftime or maybe up a field goal, but they end
20:51
Speaker 1: up winning by nine points against the Blue Hens of
20:53
Speaker 1: Delaware after Blaise Berlowitz starts. I'm locked into this chair.
20:58
Speaker 1: I'm miked in right now, all that. I would give
21:00
Speaker 1: a standing ovation if I could. I can't. But bravo.
21:04
Speaker 1: to Clark Lee and the Vanderbilt Commodores for doing what
21:08
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt fans and pretty much everyone else thought they should
21:11
Speaker 1: have done from the start of the season. Jared Curtis
21:14
Speaker 1: has been named the starter at Vanderbilt for their game
21:17
Speaker 1: against NC State on Saturday. It's a no-brainer. It brings
21:22
Speaker 1: excitement to your program. But more than that, you can't
21:25
Speaker 1: lie to players. They know what's going on. They see
21:28
Speaker 1: it every day in practice. I get all that. And
21:30
Speaker 1: if Blaise Berlowitz was the better practice option at times, okay.
21:34
Speaker 1: I'm willing to hear that argument. We've seen two games now.
21:38
Speaker 1: And Jared Curtis had some pretty good stats and looked
21:40
Speaker 1: pretty good when he played against Delaware. It's time to go.
21:44
Speaker 1: It's time to give the ball to your five-star workhorse
21:47
Speaker 1: guy who should be an NFL quarterback one day and
21:50
Speaker 1: let him lead your team. No better time to start
21:53
Speaker 1: than now. No better time to start than against NC
21:55
Speaker 1: State this weekend, where Vanderbilt's only a three-and-a-half point favorite.
21:58
Speaker 1: If you had told me in week one when NC
22:02
Speaker 1: State looked terrible against Virginia And got blown out of
22:05
Speaker 1: that game. That wasn't week one. That was week zero.
22:07
Speaker 1: The first week of the season. If you'd have told
22:09
Speaker 1: me then that three weeks from then, Vanderbilt would only
22:13
Speaker 1: be a three and a half point favorite over NC
22:14
Speaker 1: State at home, I thought you were crazy. Because I
22:17
Speaker 1: thought Jared Curtis would have been starting and looking good
22:19
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. I thought Vandy would manhandle
22:22
Speaker 1: Austin Peay in Delaware. None of those things happened. And
22:25
Speaker 1: now Vandy Sitz is about a field goal favorite, according
22:28
Speaker 1: to Hard Rock Bet, at home against NC State. Which
22:31
Speaker 1: is a bit surprising to me. But... With Jared Curtis
22:35
Speaker 1: now the guy, Vanderbilt fans have a reason to get excited,
22:38
Speaker 1: and I think more people have a reason now to
22:40
Speaker 1: watch that game with Vandy and NC State on Saturday.
22:43
Speaker 1: So that is definitely one to watch. Another one to
22:45
Speaker 1: watch is our guy Danny Cannell, and I love Danny.
22:47
Speaker 1: Danny makes no apologies about it like Arch Manning did.
22:51
Speaker 1: He's not apologizing for any of this. He is a
22:54
Speaker 1: known SEC Big Ten hater. He is an anti-authority, don't
22:59
Speaker 1: tell me what most national analysts say type guy. He
23:02
Speaker 1: is the type of guy who will prop up the
23:04
Speaker 1: ACC even when there's no way to prop them up.
23:07
Speaker 1: He is a Florida State guy through and through, and
23:10
Speaker 1: he releases a top 12 in college football every week.
23:14
Speaker 1: His latest top 12 caught the attention of JT, our producer,
23:18
Speaker 1: who sent it to us. Okay, number one, Texas. All right, yeah,
23:22
Speaker 1: that sounds right. Texas, the big win over Ohio State, sure. LSU,
23:26
Speaker 1: number two, sure. Beat the hell out. Out of Clemson
23:30
Speaker 1: in week one. Makes sense. Ole Miss, three. Okay, got it.
23:33
Speaker 1: Big win over Louisville. I see that. Notre Dame, four.
23:37
Speaker 1: Big win over Wisconsin week one. Sure, very talented. Miami, five.
23:40
Speaker 1: They have killed everybody they've played. They haven't played anybody.
23:43
Speaker 1: By the way, is Miami going to play a game
23:45
Speaker 1: on a Saturday this year? Every game's been on Thursday
23:47
Speaker 1: or Friday night so far. They're like the Maction of
23:50
Speaker 1: the ACC. Hopefully a Saturday game is coming up soon. Michigan,
23:54
Speaker 1: number six. Don't get it. Don't get it. Because just
23:58
Speaker 1: like You have to weigh the big win over Oklahoma.
24:01
Speaker 1: You got to weigh the fact that they lost in
24:02
Speaker 1: regulation against Western Michigan. I don't think they're the number
24:05
Speaker 1: six team in the country. So disagree with that. Duke
24:08
Speaker 1: number seven. Okay. Duke beat Tulane in Illinois. I got
24:12
Speaker 1: to say, of all of the takes on this, not
24:16
Speaker 1: the worst one. Duke does have two solid wins where
24:20
Speaker 1: most teams in America have beaten two nobodies or two
24:24
Speaker 1: FCS teams or something equivalent to two FCS teams. So
24:28
Speaker 1: I don't hate Duke in his top 10, but of
24:31
Speaker 1: course also, again, ACC homer, Danny Connell throwing this out there.
24:35
Speaker 1: Number eight, Tennessee. I got no complaints about that. I
24:38
Speaker 1: think Tennessee's like 14th in the coaches poll, not too
24:41
Speaker 1: far away from that. Probably higher, they should be higher
24:44
Speaker 1: than where they started the season. I don't know if
24:46
Speaker 1: they're top 10, but they did look good against Georgia
24:48
Speaker 1: Tech and in their opener against Furman. Number nine, Texas
24:51
Speaker 1: A & M. Nice win over Arizona State. I understand that.
24:55
Speaker 1: Alabama went on the road in the SEC. Handled Kentucky
24:59
Speaker 1: in the second half. That was a game for one half.
25:01
Speaker 1: Blew out the Cats in the second half. I'm fine
25:03
Speaker 1: with that. Mississippi State 11. Now, be still my heart
25:06
Speaker 1: on this one because I am big hell state right now.
25:10
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, I said before, they have a chance to
25:12
Speaker 1: be the Oklahoma of this year. The surprise SEC team
25:16
Speaker 1: that sneaks their way into the playoffs. Kamario Taylor is
25:19
Speaker 1: a dude. If he's not a Heisman contender this year,
25:22
Speaker 1: he will be at some point at Mississippi State. So
25:24
Speaker 1: I like that. SMU number 12. Now, here's where you
25:27
Speaker 1: start to lose me, Danny. Going to Florida State and
25:31
Speaker 1: winning is not a great win anymore. It was when
25:36
Speaker 1: you were playing there, when Bobby Bowden was coaching there,
25:38
Speaker 1: when Jimbo Fisher was coaching there. By the way, there
25:40
Speaker 1: are reports that Mike Norvell is about to get fired
25:43
Speaker 1: and Jimbo Fisher is coming back. That's who Florida State
25:46
Speaker 1: fans want. They want to bring back Jimbo to coach
25:49
Speaker 1: Florida State. Not the worst idea of a retread coach
25:51
Speaker 1: I've heard. If Rich Rod can go back home to
25:54
Speaker 1: West Virginia... then why not Jimbo Fisher to Florida State?
25:58
Speaker 1: But I apologize to our friend Danny Connell when I
26:01
Speaker 1: say this. It's a day full of apologies here in
26:04
Speaker 1: the sports world. Going to Tallahassee and winning a game
26:09
Speaker 1: is only difficult because your stadium is so inept they
26:12
Speaker 1: can't keep the lights on. That's what made that game
26:14
Speaker 1: difficult for SMU. It's nothing that Florida State did. Your
26:18
Speaker 1: terrible program had a power outage during the game. That's
26:22
Speaker 1: what made the circumstances difficult. There's nothing about Doak Walker
26:24
Speaker 1: Stadium that's tough anymore. Why? Because Mike Norvell is running
26:27
Speaker 1: that program into the ground. We've seen it the last
26:29
Speaker 1: couple of years, and we've seen it to start this
26:31
Speaker 1: year also. So I'm sorry, but I'm not giving SMU
26:35
Speaker 1: top 10 or top 12 level credit for doing something
26:38
Speaker 1: like that. Here's another point that I want to make,
26:41
Speaker 1: and that Danny omitted from his list of top teams.
26:45
Speaker 1: If Texas is the number one team in the country
26:47
Speaker 1: after beating Ohio State, Ohio State is absolutely no worse
26:51
Speaker 1: than fourth or fifth after going to Austin and beating
26:56
Speaker 1: them for three quarters. I mean, let's face it. They
26:59
Speaker 1: dominated that football game for most of it. Now, do
27:02
Speaker 1: you get some sort of medal for dominating a game
27:04
Speaker 1: and not winning on the scoreboard?
27:05
Speaker 2: No, you don't.
27:06
Speaker 1: But if we are going to properly evaluate college football teams,
27:09
Speaker 1: you've got to factor that in. I also don't want
27:12
Speaker 1: to discourage Ohio State and Texas from playing each other.
27:15
Speaker 1: We need more games like this and not less. So
27:18
Speaker 1: if you're going to schedule a game like this and
27:20
Speaker 1: you're going to play it tough and you're going to
27:22
Speaker 1: lose late on the road to a team that's now
27:25
Speaker 1: number one in the country, you shouldn't get dinged for that.
27:29
Speaker 1: I mean, you get dinged maybe a spot, but if
27:32
Speaker 1: they would have come back and said this week, you
27:34
Speaker 1: know what, Texas won, or Danny said this or anyone,
27:37
Speaker 1: Texas won Ohio State too. I have no problem with that.
27:40
Speaker 1: Stop looking at just the number on the right column
27:44
Speaker 1: if you're looking at them and seeing zero or one
27:47
Speaker 1: or two or whatever it is, and look at the teams.
27:50
Speaker 1: Not every loss is created equally. Not every win is
27:53
Speaker 1: created equally. How do we feel about Michigan after the
27:56
Speaker 1: Western Michigan debacle? Does that feel like a win? Do
28:00
Speaker 1: you feel like the Wolverines are really starting something there
28:02
Speaker 1: this season? Do you feel good about that? Or did
28:05
Speaker 1: you ding them for that win? The same goes for losses.
28:09
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ding Ohio State. They look really good.
28:12
Speaker 1: They looked as powerful as I thought they were coming
28:13
Speaker 1: into the season. Julian Sane was good on the road. Yeah,
28:18
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with Ohio State being the number two
28:19
Speaker 1: team in the country if they decided to go that way. So, yeah,
28:26
Speaker 1: that's the way I see it. Texas won. Good with it.
28:28
Speaker 1: Ohio State should be higher. Hey, let's take another break.
28:30
Speaker 1: When we come back, we've got some primary complaint headed
28:33
Speaker 1: your way. This is the Hunt and Withrow Show presented
28:35
Speaker 1: by Hard Rock Bet. We're back. Hutton & Withrow Show
28:38
Speaker 1: presented by Hard Rock Bet here on the Sporting State

29:40
Speaker 1: Wednesday and every Wednesday on the Hutton and Withrow show
29:43
Speaker 1: presented by Hard Rock Bet we complain with primary complaint
29:48
Speaker 1: and now is the time to do just that I'll
29:51
Speaker 1: begin and we got JT here too who's got a
29:53
Speaker 1: great complaint coming your way also my primary complaint this
29:57
Speaker 1: week is that my truck will never be cleaned Because
30:00
Speaker 1: I have children. And I came to this realization yesterday.
30:03
Speaker 1: My truck, by the way, smells like 15 pounds of
30:07
Speaker 1: wet grass. We had a softball practice recently. It started raining.
30:12
Speaker 1: And I cannot get the smell of mildew mixed with
30:15
Speaker 1: wet grass out of my truck. It's bothered my allergies.
30:19
Speaker 1: I've vacuumed it. I've done this and that. Take it
30:21
Speaker 1: to the car wash yesterday. Get it washed out. Vacuum it.
30:25
Speaker 1: Clean it. Wipe it down. Do all of that. I
30:27
Speaker 1: can still smell wet grass. There is food that is
30:31
Speaker 1: stuck in places and compartments in my truck I did
30:34
Speaker 1: not even know existed because my children eat full course
30:39
Speaker 1: Golden Corral meals in the backseat when we're headed to events,
30:43
Speaker 1: I feel like. We're halfway to a smorgasbord back there.
30:46
Speaker 1: Can't control it one bit, okay? Finally get one of
30:50
Speaker 1: the scent things for the truck smelling better, vacuumed out
30:53
Speaker 1: everything else. Well, I happened to have the hardcover top
30:58
Speaker 1: on the back of my truck bed that was up
31:00
Speaker 1: to try to wash out the back of my truck.
31:02
Speaker 1: Pulled all the objects out of the back of the truck.
31:05
Speaker 1: What I did not realize was that there was one
31:07
Speaker 1: lone red crayon that was in the truck. Okay? So
31:13
Speaker 1: as I'm cleaning everything out, I open the truck bed
31:16
Speaker 1: and I realize it looks like I've been hauling bodies
31:20
Speaker 1: somewhere because this one red crayon has made what appears
31:23
Speaker 1: to be a bloodstain. all over the back of my truck.
31:26
Speaker 1: I look like I've been doing some very nefarious things
31:29
Speaker 1: with my truck because this one crayon that was left
31:31
Speaker 1: there by one of my children, probably my youngest. Parents
31:36
Speaker 1: out there, dads, moms, I know you feel me on this.
31:39
Speaker 1: The understanding and realization that I am never going to
31:43
Speaker 1: have a clean vehicle until my kids are in college
31:46
Speaker 1: and out of the house, it hit me hard yesterday,
31:49
Speaker 1: and that is my primary complaint. JT. is on with
31:53
Speaker 1: us now. And JT, I know, always has a great
31:57
Speaker 1: to play. JT, I feel like you stockpile complaints throughout
32:00
Speaker 1: your week, and then you truly pick between the best ones.
32:03
Speaker 3: So I'm blessed to have a 10-year-old daughter and a
32:06
Speaker 3: two-year-old who will turn three in a couple of weeks.
32:10
Speaker 3: We have the option of putting those two birthday parties
32:14
Speaker 3: together and combining them together, right?
32:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:17
Speaker 2: And it's a good idea. It's also health.
32:19
Speaker 3: Like you try to celebrate Two girls, birthday parties, one
32:22
Speaker 3: wants something, you know, like the 10-year-old, the 3-year-old is still,
32:25
Speaker 3: you know, screaming baby shark.
32:26
Speaker 2: It's just miserable.
32:28
Speaker 3: But we do what we do, so we only have
32:30
Speaker 3: to clean the house once, have all the family over,
32:33
Speaker 3: and all those things. So we're blessed with these gifts.
32:36
Speaker 3: People bring stuff. First and foremost, this is not a
32:38
Speaker 3: primary complaint, but please don't buy a child a gift
32:42
Speaker 3: that has 75 pieces, a 3-year-old, that are all, you know,
32:45
Speaker 3: this big. It's just stuff scattered everywhere throughout the house.
32:48
Speaker 3: And I just pick stuff up and throw it in
32:50
Speaker 3: the trash, hoping she never, never, never sees it. But
32:53
Speaker 3: here's my primary complaint.
32:54
Speaker 1: Amen to that, by the way. Amen to that. Yes.
32:56
Speaker 3: It's not batteries that I'm showing up on the screen.
32:59
Speaker 3: It's not batteries. But do you know how damn difficult
33:03
Speaker 3: it is to open a package of anything like this?
33:06
Speaker 1: Period.
33:07
Speaker 3: I mean, you have to get scissors. The scissors have
33:09
Speaker 3: to be so sharp. Then you cut your hand open
33:12
Speaker 3: trying to get into this box. package of just plastic
33:16
Speaker 3: that's hard, sharp, and awful. Why are we taking things
33:23
Speaker 3: that just could be put in a box? Amazon sends
33:26
Speaker 3: everything to us in a box. Why does it have
33:27
Speaker 3: to be just vacuum sealed to the point that you
33:30
Speaker 3: have to get a damn chainsaw out to open these things?
33:33
Speaker 3: Why is it so difficult? And it doesn't matter. It's
33:35
Speaker 3: not just kid stuff, but that's what I thought about
33:37
Speaker 3: this weekend. But why are we still in 2026 having
33:41
Speaker 3: to package things that you can't open without a chainsaw?
33:45
Speaker 1: JT, and it's not just the physical opening. You can't
33:50
Speaker 1: even touch the packaging without cutting your hand. Even when
33:53
Speaker 1: you get it open, if you happen to make a
33:55
Speaker 1: mistake and just reach down and grab the packaging, you're
33:58
Speaker 1: going to slice your hand open like the worst paper
34:00
Speaker 1: cut you've ever received. The battery packages, all the kids' toys,
34:05
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I feel like we could use a
34:09
Speaker 1: lot of our resources as companies or as a country
34:12
Speaker 1: if we saved on the hard plastics That's these, these
34:16
Speaker 1: things are encased in and use that for something else.
34:18
Speaker 1: Like I don't need anything that difficult to open, right?
34:22
Speaker 1: Like if someone, if it's a theft issue, like if
34:23
Speaker 1: someone's going to steal it, they're going to steal it
34:25
Speaker 1: from your store, steal it somewhere and go home with
34:27
Speaker 1: their scissors and cut it open anyway. So it's like,
34:29
Speaker 1: they're breaking it open right in there. I don't get it.
34:32
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I've never liked it. I'm right
34:35
Speaker 1: there with you, man.
34:37
Speaker 2: Looking for a picture to try to explain this.
34:39
Speaker 3: I found there's now actually a device that's smart of
34:42
Speaker 3: somebody that sells a a piece of equipment to open
34:46
Speaker 3: these exact packages.
34:47
Speaker 2: So brilliant. I wish that would have been me 10
34:49
Speaker 2: years ago.
34:50
Speaker 1: I got to ask, though, you two kids close to
34:52
Speaker 1: the same birthday, different ages. Do they split the theme
34:56
Speaker 1: down the middle? Do you alternate years as to the
34:58
Speaker 1: younger one or the older one picking the theme of
35:00
Speaker 1: the party? How do you manage this?
35:02
Speaker 3: No, we had the 10-year-old is into Avatar for whatever reason.
35:06
Speaker 3: By the way, I know you're a movie guy.
35:07
Speaker 2: It's awful. I don't know why anybody would waste three hours.
35:10
Speaker 1: And 15 minutes on that. Never watched it. I am
35:12
Speaker 1: a movie guy, but I'm also like, I'm not going
35:14
Speaker 1: to watch something I know I'm going to hate. And
35:16
Speaker 1: I take one look at the blue people in that
35:18
Speaker 1: movie and I think I'm going to hate this movie.
35:20
Speaker 1: And also I see that it's like three hours long.
35:22
Speaker 1: I've never seen one of the avatars. Right.
35:24
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you don't.
35:26
Speaker 3: But that was that was the 10 year old and
35:28
Speaker 3: the three year old really doesn't have an opinion.
35:30
Speaker 2: So I think we did baby shark stuff. She was thrilled.
35:33
Speaker 2: And it was that or Minnie Mouse or something. But, yeah,
35:36
Speaker 2: it's awful.
35:37
Speaker 3: I think last year we kind of did two different parties,
35:39
Speaker 3: and I was like, let's just get this knocked out
35:41
Speaker 3: in one day.
35:42
Speaker 1: So we did.
35:42
Speaker 3: The 10-year-old's not a fan of doing that, but she
35:45
Speaker 3: had a birthday party nonetheless.
35:46
Speaker 2: So thank you. But those are my primary complaints.
35:49
Speaker 1: Very good, JT. Very good. Yeah, I've got 11 and 7,
35:53
Speaker 1: and sadly they both have very strong opinions. So there's
35:57
Speaker 1: never any just going with the flow. There's always very
35:59
Speaker 1: contrary opinions and both very strong. Hey, we've got strong
36:03
Speaker 1: opinions on this show. Crockett Coffee's got some strong coffee, too.
36:07
Speaker 1: And they got some medium coffee. And they got some

38:27
Speaker 1: slash clay. Every Wednesday on this show, we go for
38:30
Speaker 1: the bundle, going for the bundle with our show parlay.
38:33
Speaker 1: So last week, we did a little bit differently. We
38:36
Speaker 1: all try to come up with our own three-leg parlay
38:39
Speaker 1: to present to you for the weekend. That has not
38:42
Speaker 1: been overly successful. Full transparency on this show, I want
38:46
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. We want to give you
38:47
Speaker 1: the goods. We want to help you win over the weekend,
38:50
Speaker 1: but we also want to say, hey, it's difficult for
38:53
Speaker 1: multiple three-leg parlays to hit. So We change course this week,
38:58
Speaker 1: and what we're doing instead is every member of the show, me, Hutt,
39:03
Speaker 1: our producer JT, is going to come up with something
39:06
Speaker 1: they feel really strongly about, and we're going to combine
39:09
Speaker 1: that into a Hutton and Withrow show, bet the bundle,
39:13
Speaker 1: three-leg parlay. So this week, we've got Hutton going with
39:17
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley for an anytime touchdown. That's minus 125. Of course,
39:22
Speaker 1: the Eagles come to Nashville to take on the Titans.
39:25
Speaker 1: Given the Titans' run defense and basically every other facet
39:28
Speaker 1: of their football team that we saw on Sunday, I
39:30
Speaker 1: really like this bet for Saquon Barkley to reach the
39:32
Speaker 1: end zone at some point. I am going with Georgia.
39:36
Speaker 1: This may have changed this morning, but at Hard Rock Bet,
39:39
Speaker 1: I got them yesterday at minus 25.5 in Fayetteville against
39:43
Speaker 1: Arkansas this weekend. I think Georgia goes on the road
39:46
Speaker 1: and pounds Arkansas. Georgia, by the way, I know Texas
39:50
Speaker 1: beat Ohio State. I still feel really good about Georgia
39:52
Speaker 1: winning the SEC from what I've seen. Against two nobodies,
39:56
Speaker 1: but Gunnar Stockton and that veteran team look really good.
39:59
Speaker 1: And that was my preseason pick to win the SEC.
40:02
Speaker 1: They're going to go to Arkansas and handle business. And JT,
40:04
Speaker 1: with Jared Curtis starting, you got Vandy minus three and
40:07
Speaker 1: a half over NC State.
40:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's, look, there's a lot of, you know,
40:12
Speaker 3: you guys were there late a couple of weeks ago
40:15
Speaker 3: meeting with coach.
40:16
Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of expectations there.
40:18
Speaker 3: And some eyebrows that were raised a couple of weeks
40:21
Speaker 3: ago when he wasn't named the starter.
40:24
Speaker 2: Look, man, Vandy's at home. They're in the SEC.
40:27
Speaker 3: They've got, you know, I think an exceptional quarterback that's
40:30
Speaker 3: going to finally get his chance to shine. They got
40:33
Speaker 3: to do more than a field goal to win at
40:36
Speaker 3: home over NC State. I think that Vandy really has
40:39
Speaker 3: a good chance and should cover here.
40:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. I think this is sort of
40:44
Speaker 1: Vandy's coming out party this year of a good performance.
40:48
Speaker 1: I will say like, I don't think Vandy is going
40:50
Speaker 1: to be as good as I thought they were coming
40:52
Speaker 1: into the season. There is going to be a drop
40:55
Speaker 1: off this year from what I've seen, even defensively in
40:57
Speaker 1: their first two games. I think that's fair to say.
40:59
Speaker 1: I mean, we're look two games into the season when
41:02
Speaker 1: you only get 12 of them, right? You're a sixth
41:05
Speaker 1: of the way through the season at that point. So
41:07
Speaker 1: we've seen some football already from these teams. Now they
41:09
Speaker 1: haven't gotten to the meat of their schedule. They're not
41:11
Speaker 1: even in conference play yet, but I feel like I
41:13
Speaker 1: know a little bit about this Vandy team now through
41:15
Speaker 1: these two weeks. They come out of their shell a
41:17
Speaker 1: little bit with Jared Curtis. They're going to look better.
41:19
Speaker 1: I'm riding you. I like that bet. They're going to
41:21
Speaker 1: win by more than a field goal. I also think
41:24
Speaker 1: it's safe to say Vandy maybe is a step back
41:27
Speaker 1: from what they were a year ago with Diego Pavia.
41:29
Speaker 1: I think all things are true. So again, let's flash that.
41:32
Speaker 1: Betting the bundle. Three-leg parlay for this week. JT's going
41:36
Speaker 1: with Vandy minus three and a half at home over
41:38
Speaker 1: NC State. I'm going Georgia- to blow the doors off
41:42
Speaker 1: of Arkansas. It's minus 25 and a half. I think
41:45
Speaker 1: Georgia wins. I would tease this thing up. I think
41:47
Speaker 1: they win by more than 30 points. If you want
41:49
Speaker 1: to go that way, you can, but I'm going minus
41:51
Speaker 1: 25 and a half Hutton going Saquon Barkley, anytime touchdown
41:55
Speaker 1: at minus one 25. That is our hard rock bet,
41:59
Speaker 1: betting the bundle pick for the Hutton and Withrow show.
42:02
Speaker 1: And again, thrilled to partner with hard rock bet throughout
42:05
Speaker 1: the football season. And they're going to bring us all
42:08
Speaker 1: the odds, lines, insights, analysis, great content with Hard Rock
42:12
Speaker 1: Bet all season long. Football season is here. And if
42:16
Speaker 1: you take any lesson from today's show, from going back
42:19
Speaker 1: to our first segment of the show today, it is this.
42:22
Speaker 1: Don't apologize. Don't do it. Things will blow over. If
42:26
Speaker 1: Steve Sarkeesian is allowed to not apologize to Holly Rowe
42:29
Speaker 1: and ESPN, the millionaire coach of Texas... who look like
42:33
Speaker 1: a jerk on national TV, Arch Manning, you shouldn't apologize either.
42:37
Speaker 1: Don't do it. Let it blow over. Move on. And
42:41
Speaker 1: we are moving on to tomorrow's show on Thursday. Thanks
42:44
Speaker 1: for watching Wednesday's show, everyone. We are back at it
42:47
Speaker 1: bright and early tomorrow morning. This is the Hutton &
42:49
Speaker 1: Withrow Show presented by Hard Rock Bet. And you are
42:52
Speaker 1: watching the Sporting State Network. And stay tuned. Next round live,
42:55
Speaker 1: live from Birmingham, Alabama, is coming up next.
