• 2:43
  Speaker 1: fun stuff to talk about. We'll get to the Penn
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: State Franklin stuff, but let's stay on the field. First
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of all, how you doing. And second of all, the
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Indiana Hoosiers are for real.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I'm good, brother. I got the week off of school,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: so it's a little nice to have a little bit
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: of a mental break from the kids. And then got
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a bachelor party coming up soon, so it's that life's
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: going okay over here. I don't have to work too
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: much this month or next month. So hey, we talked
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: about it last week. H You know, Indiana's head coach
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: was mentally prepared for the game, because I think he
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: is meant prepared to win every game. It's the kind
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: of guy to respect the guy. I'm sure there's a
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: lot of people that think Sinnetti's a bit of a prick,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: but the dudes winning games. And last year he had
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the tough challenge to face Notre Dame and Ohio State
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: and lost. I do remember the Ohio State game to me.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I remember talking to you on the show about how
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: the had a couple of like kind of fluky scores,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: like there was a special teams touchdown, some defensive work.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: It was I thought the the head to head play
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: was pretty fair. One of the score indicated. I was like, okay,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: you know, but he's still lost and this year. Maybe
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: new quarterback, maybe it's that wide receiver, maybe it's just
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: his second year there. But dude, you could argue they
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: probably had the win the win of the year. You
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: may maybe Georgia at Tennessee would rival it because that
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: was a tough environment with a fair competition level. Uh
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: and truly, you know how truly good is Oregon? We're
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: not quite sure yet, but this definitely is the top
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: three win of the year. And hey, hats off to them, man,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: because again I've said it all year. Besides this year
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of Indiana football. I knew Randa Ll was a badass,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: cool dude when I was in elementary school. I was like, man,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I want to be Randal L when I'm playing football
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: in the fall of my buddies because he's a dual
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: threat quarterback. Like and since Randal LL, I've not thought
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: of Indiana football. And yes there's money, yes there's nil deals,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: but shit, you gotta sell real estate, Chris, And what
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: part of Indiana? Who's your island is exotic and funny?
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Like we're are there, Barista is there? We're not aware
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: of This is Cana Hoosier. This is basketball country, and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: they done shit in basketball for a while either, So
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: whatever magic he does to produce the team he has,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: it's a potion that works. I think that is just
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: a really really impressive win that that probably, barring melt down,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that probably kind of almost shoots them in the playoff
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: because their schedules that insanely hard like Florida or some
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: mothers in the SEC. But tremendous win. Since we've been
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: doing this podcast for over ten years, you know, it's
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: probably a count of one hand the amount of times
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: that Oregon's lost a big game at home to the
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: best of my knowledge, Chris, I know freaking USC or
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: watching can ever seem to be in their two teams
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: that kind of cheered for against him over the times
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the Civil War, maybe a little bit here thee I think.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: They're eighteen in row at home or something like that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so winning at Austin's hard to do. But to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: win by ten points like hats off to see he
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: had his boys ready then Iowa Hiccup almost got him.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: But to go to Oregon and whoop their ass. I mean,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: they played a great game. That that's a hard victory.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But this guy's hardened doubt. Again, he's a very confident man,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: but I'd be confident too if my guy's walked in.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Doson got a.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: W Chris, Yeah, I mean they're a better team this year.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Mendoza is a better much well, i'd say a fairly
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: like i'd say.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: A much better quarterback.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: He was decent.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's decent. Mendoz is better than him though by
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: a fair amount because he can move as well. And
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: remember that dude was hurt and he was like he
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: had had a bunch of surgeries on his knee and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: he just was kind of in the pocket a lot.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: But to your point, the offense is what was missing
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: in those two games against Ohio State and against Notre Dame. Yes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: that was a big thing. Defense didn't look like it
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: was lost. The team will all competitiveness and all that
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: didn't look like it was lost.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: It did.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They just couldn't do what they had been doing. But
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know, like they've upgraded sarat and I think it's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Cooper or whatever. Both those guys are legit. Like I said,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Mendoza can run. I mean, you know, he picks and shoeses,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: but he can run. And when I think it is
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the best win by the way of the year. Yeah,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: because obviously now that Penn State's three and three.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: You can't give that to Oregon, right, true.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Because you know, traveling across the country, that was huge,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: especially all the way across the country for that and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that one, but Indiana had to travel a fair amount.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: So I think when it was twenty to thirteen, they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: had the ball and they and they threw that pick
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: is pretty bad decision or whatever, picked six, and I'm like, oh, man, like, uh,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: what are we gonna do. Let's see how they were
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: spawning boom. They went down to score and they got
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: two more I INT's so they got the pressure to
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Dante more. He showed some of his youth in that game,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and just in general to contain you know, the running
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: game was huge. It was like Indiana rush just enough.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I was. I was really amazed how they
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: they did it. And going into that, they were oha
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: forty six all time on the road versus an ap
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: top five opponent. It was the most losses without a
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: win in the nation. So you know, there's teams that
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: are probably like two or one and you know, fifty
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: eight or who knows, right, yeah, but oh, forty six
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in that spot and they come up.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: And really, you know, without that pick six.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: You know, that's thirteen points that the defense held that
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: offensive team.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: So it was going into it. They had won thirteen
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: straight at home.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: That was the longest one. The other one obviously just
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: fell as well with Bama beaton Georgia and then they
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: also Oregon. They had won twenty three regular season games
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in a row, so oh yeah, true, you know what
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, So that that was huge and basically wins
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: against even ap top ten opponents. They had three Indiana
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: from nineteen sixty eight to twenty twenty three they had three,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: So I mean, that's pretty freaking quick.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: To turn that thing around.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And obviously, you know we'll get into the Penn State stuff.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, for the Indie fans, you
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: hope that that's not where he goes because that would
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: really suck for them. But they they've had a hell
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: of a run in this year. It feels like they
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: can go even deeper. Bama gets by Maszoo. I felt
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: pretty good when it was twenty seven to seventeen. I
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: had the two and a half minus two and a half,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: felt really good, and then all of a sudden, I
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: started feeling like, oh, hold on, wait a second, it's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: three points and they got the ball kind of freaking
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: out a little bit, you know, the fake punt.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: It looked like the direct snap.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: It looked like that guy got to it, got to
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the first down, which obviously led to points for Bama
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: because it was a turnover on downs. The quarterback Bo
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Prebulah or whatever his name is. You know, once they're
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: not once they're out of run mode, and they got
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a pass more. He definitely showed that he needs to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: develop there through some kind of bad picks and just
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: bad balls in general. But for a while there, I
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: mean Bama did pretty good because if you think about it,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Hardy was going nuts. And first of all, they only
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: gave twelve carries for fifty two. But to limit them
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: as a hole to twenty eight carries and eleven of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: those are from your quarterback, that's a big win. Now,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they didn't rush a ton that jam Miller, who they
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: need to stay healthy, had a pretty good day. They did,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you know, over go past one hundred yards rushing, but
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: I thought, you know, just quarterback for quarterback when it
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: comes to throwing, Ty Simpson did his thing. There was
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a big like fourth and eight play down the stretch.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Of that game that it was like maybe a fifteen
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to twenty hour pick up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Right on the sidelines. That was one of the plays
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: of the game. But ma'n Mazoo was close, but they
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: just couldn't get over the hump. Although I did think
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that they got fucked on that fake punt play.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I I I hope besides my guy kids,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and I hope that it just can start to love
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: my coaches on my teams, because I guess I'm neutral
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Lincoln Riley, but drink Witz again, great win loss records.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Still not the biggest fan of him, as I haven't
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: been for the last three years. Hey, this would have
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: been probably the win of his of his tenure so far,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: just because again Missoo's become really good at winning games
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: are supposed to him. But it still it's like, man,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: could you ever just beat Georgia or Alabama at home?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: For once? This definitely was a chance. I really thought that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: And I've been not as high and Ti Simpson as
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: others have been so far this year, but I will
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: I will tip my cap today. I really thought that
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: he just did a great job of passing the ball.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I said that because when you see the highlights like
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: or maybe or maybe it was more so an exposure
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: of Miszoo's secondary because a lot, a lot of a
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: lot of wide receivers and Crimson were open and he
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: wasn't missing them either. So I will give Simpson credit.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I thought he had one of his better games of
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the year. I thought they got a little traditional with
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: their offense there last week. But hey, he slung the
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: ball around. I don't think I can cush it. He
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: fell in his head pretty hard, though. I'm sure my
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Tennessee's sister Will will pray that he's out this week.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: You know that that definitely could have been concussion. I
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: know they I think they checked him, but I guess
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: he came back. Yeah, that that looked ugly. Hopefully hopefully
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: he is okay. But yeah, another situation for Missoo where
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: it's like, dude, you had, you had a chance, and
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: you just let one slip again at home. So just
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: you're you're, you're you're a really good B level team.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Uh Now, thankfully their schedule is pretty late this year.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: They still do have a chance of making a playoff,
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: but they can't afford to slip up versus anyone else
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: from the top again, so we'll see what happens. You're right,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Probula had a decent game, a couple of costleague picks though,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: and again you just didn't make enough plays. Your defense
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: has to play better. And hey, if you're Bama, you
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: know the everyone in the world wanted Canada bar fired. Yeah,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: after you lose epis you You've now won three hard
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: games in a row. Not any teams in the country
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: can do that, you know. So you beat, you beat Georgia,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: you beat and you go to Miszoo and I got Tennessee, Like, dude,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that that's a hell of her. Most teams aren't gonna
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: go three and one or possibly four in that run.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: And you know, the tusk loosive people probably call him
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: down a little bit now, but hey, hats off to Bama.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: That's another another song win because Chris only get that
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: little bit of a break of an easier opponent. Uh,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Tennessee ain't gonna be an easier.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. And I can't really remember a run.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you know Saban was there forever and we
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: know not forever, but two thousand and seven or whatever.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: And we know he's the best minor day coach I
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: would say the best coach of all time.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but do you.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Recall four straight ranked teams when they had divisions? I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe there is, you know, maybe there is
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and we just don't remember it.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: But he didn't.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: They didn't have a schedule like this. I'll tell you that.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: No, no, because they could control it more, you know.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean they've turned it around. They're looking good.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Sometimes just about a fit. And clearly old boy last
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: year wasn't a good fit. And Ty Simpson is. And
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you know, credit to Simpson, he stayed around. He stayed,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, multiple years and could have dipped. Obviously he's
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: a good quarterback, so he could have left and he didn't.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: And now he's I think he's got another year eligibility
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: after this, but he better. If he keeps playing like this,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: he may just go. I want to talk about two
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: two games. There we go, the Red River rivalry to
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: shoot out. Okay, want to talk about the Sooners and
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Longhorns. Sooners got up what six to three or whatever,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and I think it was twenty to zero in the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: second half. I liked the short passing instead of you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: too many times Manning has just tried to push and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it was always like called because a
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: lot of times it'd be him getting outside the pocket
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: because he hasn't had a ton of protection. And they
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: finally got a run game going Wiser look good. But
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I like the short passing more this this week rather
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: than I always trying to truck the damn ball down
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: the field. So I want to give your take just
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in general because you were there, and then also kind
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: of double it up. USC beats Michigan, and the most
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: impressive thing with that one is they out Michigan Michigan
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: just like I said in the beginning, to not only
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: be able to contain Michigan's run, which they did, but
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: also to pour it on them with the run game
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: is a sign of great things that come. They got
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to difficult schedule. I'm not saying this year they're they're
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: ready to win it all. But we know it's a
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: young team. We know they have a quarterback that is
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: going to return next year. Like they're starting to really
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: look the part of a team that still played a
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: lot of young guys, you know, the running back room.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: They had to play a walk on freshman. So we'll
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: see how badly hurt. Those guys are but no matter what,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: it was a very solid win, especially the way they
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: did it. Let's talk about those two games.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I was hoping, honestly for like a three and
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: oh day where missoo, Oklahoma and USC would win, but
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: that that would have been beautiful. I would have been
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: dancing today, but that didn't happen. I guess I'll take
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: one in two compared to all in three for Oklahoma.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: I do think their their defense played up to the
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: name they'd had this year. But I also think that
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: in person, arch Many made a couple of throws that
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: he hadn't made this year, had some just like solid
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: good throws where he uh. There's a couple of plays
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: where like he literally he predicted and knew where the
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: receiver was gonna be on some decent coverage.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: And Oklahoma did make a couple of mistakes too, and
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: that one of those touchdowns where the secondary just kind
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: of forgot about a guy, so Manning didn't throw a pick.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: He didn't look too frazzled. Again, I don't think their
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: offense was elite, but it was better than Oklahoma, So
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: hats up to him. That was a win. That the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Texas fans definitely wanted and needed. I can't say I
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: enjoy that, But for ou Man, this was not the
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: same team we saw play Michigan, just because Matier looked
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: so much of a dual threat that game, and just
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: from from my perspective of my Todd mcshae marshall roar
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: to draft knowledge expertise, he had like five or six
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: passes where he was like legit behind the receiver. So
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I don't think that hand was probably fully healed. I know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: talking to my close friend who took me to the game,
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: who's a big Oklahoma guy in that season tickets, you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: when I text him earlier the last week, he's like, Oh,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: they're expecting Materier back after the maybe after Texas or
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: the week after that. And so I think they bumped
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: up his timeline, Chris, to get him out there earlier
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: because they don't want to trot the backup out there,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: which makes sense from a coaching standpoint, So like, we'd
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: rather have you on your B level than your quarterback
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: on his Z level for backup. But his B level
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: was not good enough versus Texas defense. I was probably motivated. Again,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: this is a massive rivalry game because these kids don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: like each other. You know, a lot of natural competition,
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: maybe some teammates playing each other, and just a regular
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: top tier quarterback doesn't throw behind a guy four to
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: five times. And there's a couple of passes he made
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: where you know, they just they didn't get you rhythm
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: going and one of the big turning points of the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: game us he was going into half, they did one
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of the worst too many drills I've seen all year.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: They should be they should have at least had three
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: points maybe an extra seven going into half, but they
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: completely butchered the clock. Like I won't go, I won't
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: break it down because that's not necessary. But they affed
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: up a two minute drill really really badly, and they
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: left points on the field, which in the low scoring
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: game that came back to hurt you, and that gave
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Texas momentum going into half and and all you kind
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: of lost it. So I wish I you know, it
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: was fun environment though, so cool to have a stadium
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: split down the middle with both fans here and make
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of noise. I enjoyed it. I just wished
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: the ourd team would have won. And hey, for UFC
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: USC you beat her eight team, who I think you
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: were definitely better then ran the ball, consistently, took care
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: of defensively, and if you're Michigan again, that's another kind
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: of top primetime game where you only scored, you know,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: in the teams just like I think they was scored.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: The teams are less versus Oklahoma. So you know, they
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: paid a lot of money Chrisopher Underwood, a lot of money.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying the guy is complete like fraud
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: or he's not that good, but I don't. I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: with what they paid for him to get him from LSU,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: they probably will expect little bit more and we've not
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: quite seen that developed yet, which you know, in a
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: day of where people have short patients, as we saw
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: it in Penn State this weekend, I think Michigan fans
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: probably opened for a bit more from Underwood overall for
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the season so far.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Well, I would push pretty far back on that just
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because he's a true freshman.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: You paid a lot of money though for the kid.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Right, but over three and four years worth the money,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: it's like a contract. So how many true freshmen are
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: great just walking in? You know, how many times have
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: we seen that. Now there's a kid at kitt who
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: sat on the bench and now he's the starter.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: He's looking good.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: There's some right the kid at Cal. He's up and down,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: but he's pretty good. For a true freshman. It's hard
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: to be a red shirt freshman.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Let alone a true freshman, you know.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: So if they expected him to go out and be
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like an all conference player as a true freshman, then
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I think their expectations backwards.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Well maybe let me say this, would you expect him
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: as a fan base to win the win these primetime games?
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe that's a better way to put it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Those both those Oklahoma in that at least, you know,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I picked USC but not confidently last year week,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: but tofically.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: I thought they were due.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: But no, I honestly I've watched everyone in almost every
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: one of his games, and there are some ones he
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: put in the dirt. There's a couple that he overthrew,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: but there's also a couple that you're like, Okay, there
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: was like probably six or seven that where they started mounting.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Uh uh, you know, like they were gonna do something.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: But as a true I don't understand a true freshman.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I just you just rarely see it. You rarely see
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: a true freshman even play meaningful minutes. So I wouldn't
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: think that he should be better as a true freshman
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: now going into next year, in the year after, if
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: he doesn't show more of the positives than the misfires,
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: then I'd say it's time for some heavy criticism. But Okay,
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I just think that's that's kind of pushing it personally,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: But you know, it is what it is.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Uh do what was that?
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that?
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: But are you gonna start giving credit to your other
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I know you like the quarterback at Louisville who transferred,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: But are you gonna at least say something about the
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: current USC quarterback because he's one of the best quarterbacks
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: in the whole country right now that you.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Come in or no, I suppose I should give some
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: credits to me my Maeva, right, Mava, Like it's a
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: tricky name.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: I am a I got to say more than you'll
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: know how to say it.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: That's true. Hey, you're right, You're right. Uh, And that
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: is one thing that you know, Lincoln has done a
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: good job of being a quarterback whisper. And yes, I
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: was still kind of wishing Miller moster there, but he ain't.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: But hey, Miama has taken care of the ball.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: You can't say he's better than this guy though.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: No, I never snow he's. No, he's not because that
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Miller Moss. He's he's turnover prone. He's flashy bit turnover prone. Hey,
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: and despite what we think about Michigan's offense and where
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: the quarterbacks should be or not, Michigan always has a
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: preestyle defense. And you were able to score a touchdown
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: every quarter. You had thirty one which ran on him too. Yeah,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: and with with a with a freshman walk on which
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: probably he was probably a bit surprised to get the
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: time he did. But hey, eighteen carries buck fifty eight
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: for King Miller. I was said, King Henry wrong team.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: Uh hey, yeah, that that's a good win for USC.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Now again, you have kind of a you gotta fought.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: You got to add on to your confidence and face
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: leader damps. Miamis having a nice here. I will say that,
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: and that's that's credit, rightfully, So that's that's due.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: He's more than nice.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He's more than just a nice quarterback. He's a great
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: quarterback of college for college. Yeah, look at his numbers, dude,
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: It's it's undeniable, all right. South Florida North Texas close
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: game until it wasn't twenty eight to seven in the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: third quarter. They just ran them over that I had
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: the one and a half. I was feeling pretty good
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: with South Florida and they I didn't expect. I wasn't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: feeling that good. So we got to keep an eye
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: on South Florida as far as you know. They're only
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: one loss to Miami, you know, so they're looking pretty
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: damn good.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: Ohio, hey quickly, Hey them in Memphis, could be a
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: huge game for that. The small school gets the spot game,
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: that could be a huge game.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Definitely. Illinois was able to get the double digits against
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, so I mean it took them, you know,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: until the third quarter to get a touchdown. But hey,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio State actually gave up double digits for the first time.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: But they pretty much handled their business pretty much. No
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: no problem.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: They're old miss got caught almost in the look ahead
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty one. They better that shit up.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Florida hung around with A and M until they didn't.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: It was like thirteen to three down the stretch. They
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: opened it up on them, and it was.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: It was a competitive game, but A and M, you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: showing they can win in a variety of ways. Their
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: defense still probably needs some work, but they're six and
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: oh and they got a doable schedule. I'd say.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, dude, I mean twenty one to zero in
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the second half. Now, they did get their their quarterbacks
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: banged up, so we'll see where that goes. But right now,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: man six and oh, three and oh, the Big twelve
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: just doing their thing. LU actually ran the ball a
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: little bit.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Against South Carolina twenty to ten.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It seems like they're right in that that ten to
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: seven point game. They just can't pull away from folks,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: but they did.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: They got it.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Speaking of polling away, Tennessee couldn't quite do that to Arkansas,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: who scored fourteen in the fourth quarter, thirty four to
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: thirty one. That Green keeps putting up numbers. But Tennessee,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: you know, got the job done, as did Georgia Tech.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: They stayed unbeaten. Notre Dames still doing their thing. Thirty
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: six to seven. Great game between BYU and Zona. I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: thought Zona was gonna win that game, BYU stayed in
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: it won in overtime, and then Arizona State their quarterback
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: didn't play. They had sims who I think came from
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Nebraska if I remember. Utah just dominated and they got
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: a big game coming up. Between those two winners, Utah
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and BYU, Colorado got a ranked game win. Salter looked good.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: They actually look pretty good in that game. Iowa State's
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: having some you know, injury issues. We saw Penn State
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: lost three in a row. Florida State did two. Not
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: quite the same you know point differentials of course, as
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: far as heading into it odds wise, but Pitt with
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: that young quarterback who's last two weeks have been going
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: off for three weeks now. But Florida State, man, they
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: start with that big Bama win only to turn right
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: around and lose three.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: In a row.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose too much sleep. The one game, though,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: I wanted to talk about was Georgia Auburn, and that
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: first half Auburn was run, run, running. They're playing really
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: good defense. There was a point where they had like
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: one hundred and one hundred and maybe sixty rushing yards
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: to negative three or something like that. But the second half,
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: there is some.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Stats here when the game was still in doubt, but dude,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: it was in the second half. There was a moment there.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Forty plays to fourteen from Georgia one hundred and ninety
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: five to fifteen yards in almost twenty minutes of time possession.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: A tale of two halfs. But if you're an Auburn fan,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: you gotta start feeling like, what the hell can we
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: just get one of these? And between this and the
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma game, especially the Oklahoma game in general, but they
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: keep getting the short end of the stick. But man,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, the way they started that game was really impressive.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: But then once you gotta start coming back and Arnold
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: has to be relied on to throw the ball, it's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: just not going to go as well.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I I'm not like that. I'm
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: not an Auburn fan, but I you know, sometimes the
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: ref cost you, but you could you you can make
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: a strong argument without sounding crazy as an Auburn fanny. Like, man,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: the refs kind of have it in for us this year.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: The Ou game had lots of calls. I if I
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: had to vote, I would say that the guy I
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: scored a touchdown and obviously it was super close. You
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: might have different perspective if you're a George fan. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: didn't have any money on it, but I really thought
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: that he scored. And obviously you can't predict the future,
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: but if Aubury got up seventeen zero there, they probably
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: win that game, just because they had so much crazy momentum.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: I kind of really wanted to went to because we
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: literally talked about this on the show, like, you know,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: George is having a better year, but hey, those those
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: shrubs at night in Auburn, like that's where magical shit happens.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I literally had that conversation with you, But that was
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: that was a tough call because you go from being
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: up seventeen zero to only up ten to three, and
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: I kind of sucked the momentum out. And athletes are humans,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: and so I'm sure when they went into halftime you
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: could see the coach is pissed off talking to the reporter,
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure the guys are pissed off too, Like
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: you know, you're nationally gonna have a bit of a
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: letdown and hate the refs and then you lose focus.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: And as much as George drives me crazy, they're they're
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: always a pretty damn focused team. Uh, say what you
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: want like h George's now had the gritty win at
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Tennessee and greedy win Auburn, and those are two tough
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: places to win.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: So in a very winnable game against Alabama, had they
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: just tightened up a little bitter.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so this George team is tested. If they make
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the playoffs, I wouldn't want to play them because they're
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: kind of one of those like Castle nine lives, like
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: you have under control and then something happens and then Curby,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: you won't go away. Now that timeout clapp and Ship
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: I think is absolutely ridiculous. That that, But for the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: rest you know, that just makes the refs angle look
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: even worse.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: It's like, dude, it really does because it's Foy. He
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: made this big deal. He's clapping to all these people. No,
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I was clapping. And then you look at the replay.
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: That's the that's the universal time for code for time
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: out across the world. So yeah, that.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: And then if you're an Auburn fan, you know, and
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: who know, made that time I could have been helpful.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: You know that that could have been useful to maybe
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: at some point, you know, you get a freak time out.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: That's right now, How colle football is supposed to work.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: So yeah, if you're Auburn, hey dude, the gods aren't
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: on your side this year, but there's long ways to
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: go by. I doubt they view it that way right now. Yeah,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: that that was a tough one, so I wish my
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: prediction would have been to write it was close. It was.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: It was maybe three inches of football close, but fortunately
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: came up short. And that's if you're if you're a
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: War Eagle fan, you just keep drinking your favorite beer
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: whiskey and hopefully get a win sometime soon.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and as far as that end zone play to
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: put them up that much, it probably would have done it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: It's tough to say though, of course. Yeah, I guess
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: they did end up scoring twenty points, but you know,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: if it would have been called a touchdown, it would
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: have stayed a touchdown. I think that's fair. I think
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: everybody can agree with that.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: The ball did come loose before it got hit, so
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: it was a close play. But man, it's just like
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: you said this year that everything has just gone against them, including.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: That Oklahoma game that you know right away they it
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: looked like the guy it was a scoop and score,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you know, but it is what it is. Georgia's a
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: very good team. They're not great, but you know, Kirby
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: was working the sidelines left and right, no doubt about it. Okay,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: So last week after the Ukuala win a twenty four
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and a half point underdog, we did discuss that they
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: got to tighten this up because not that we for
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: sure thought Franklin was gonna be gone or anything, but
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: we talked about how they're gonna lose a lot of
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: people to the draft.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: No matter what. They don't have eligibility anymore. A lot
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: of them came back.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Now you could say their best two players left, you know,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: for the draft last year, the defensive end and the
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: tight end. But like so they're already gonna lose that.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And then you think of the young players, whether they're
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: on the roster or the recruits, which the top running
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: back recruits already said that hold on, I'm gonna open
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: back up, and you thought, man, if he doesn't get
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: a hold of this locker room right now, they might
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: start losing those players, the young players that haven't developed
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: fully yet in recruiting and all that it could go
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: south and then to be another twenty was it twenty
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: twenty and.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: A half something like that, Yeah, I think it was
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: twenty and a.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Half twenty a half, I think. And to lose that game,
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: that is just talk about it unraveling. So now they're
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: three and three, and dude, they were up a touchdown
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: in overtime, you know, like they were up in the overtime.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Against Oregon, and for it to come crashing down that way,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: it's just something you don't see much at all.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: And even in overtime, they didn't get the two point
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: conversion of Oregon, so if they would have scored and
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: done that, they could have won the game, you know,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: So it's like, but to drop off that quickly, that's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. Now as far as some of these other
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: firings as well.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: The timing of them have me scratching my head.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I understand that a lot of these folks are putting
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: up money on the books now rather than under the table,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and they're putting up way more money than the envelope thing.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Or somehow they got a car or somehow under this
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: loan they got a house or whatever, putting up.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Real deal money, so there's less patience.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But I don't agree, because this is like the NBA
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: and NHL now where you fire your coaches way early.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: I don't agree with the timing of these firings because
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: it's like, dude, what do you get in line for
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: when you're probably not gonna be some of these coaches.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: You're not even to be able to get some of them,
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: like Asu Dillingham, they probably won't, you know, be They'll
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: probably be in a decent ballgame, but they I don't
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: see him making the conference final now, So yeah, you
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: could get him in December. There's some guys you can
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: get in December, but you're gonna be waiting anyway. A
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: lot of times in January. Now we know that they're
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: already talking. You kind of already know where people are going.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: A lot of times we've seen that play out too,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: where they're coaching, but you know they're gonna go someplace else.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: But so the timing of it, I don't agree with
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: any of these early fires, But that doesn't mean that
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: there shouldn't be some like firing, including this one. But
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Franklin's out, man. It's it's but they better do better
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: because if they don't, they may end up like Nebraska too.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts obviously you don't like Franklin, but
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: just in general, I mean, to be three and three
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: right now off of those games, it's pretty crazy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm definitely not a fan. I always thought the
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: guy was just kind of not a nice human, even
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: when he is a dan You That's why I started
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: not liking.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Him, Like, what do you mean not nice?
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: I just I just think he comes off as a
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: prick a lot of the time, okay human, Oh oh yeah,
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: just just comes off as a rude person to the
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: media and to the reporters. I but right, Kiffin's got
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: a little more of a sarcast in tense humor comparying
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: in my in my vote, but he does come off
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: like a can't think of if you don't like Kiff,
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: but I can see that for sure. I would say
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: him and Franklin a definitely different types of personalities, but.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: The wrong way.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: That's I won't deny that. But even this, even the fire,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I really was surprised with. Yeah, I I do think that. Yeah,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: the dude was a play away from having probably his
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: best top tier ranked win ever in at a Penn
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: State field and then a few weeks later you're fired.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: So you know that is crazy. I do think with
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: all the money that we keep throwing into not us
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: that that people keep thrown into college football, he does
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: raise the pressure. And I do feel that Penn State
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: feels like they're one of the top tier programs, which
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I would say they're not. They're they're good, but they're
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: they're not. They're not Bama or Ohio State or even
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: what Clemson was for dabble, But I think they want
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: to be up there, right, And so with those expectations
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: comes a quicker leash. And obviously you did set history
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: with back to back twenty point favorite losses. But even
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: the fire to me is like, well damn Like you know, again,
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: not a fan, but the dude was there for quite
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: a while and had a good track record for a
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: very high B plus level tier team. But I think
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: this has just come with the age of it now, Chris,
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: to where you there, there's higher expectations and people have
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: shorter patients, and for better or worse, whether it's coaches
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: or players or the boosters or alumnis, people just make
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: quicker decisions. It doesn't means that I was gonna be
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: the best. Maybe sometimes it is, you know, like I
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: just I mean, for hell, Patina just I'm just kid
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: skinning me a but Patino, for I remember Patino last
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: year for Saint John's basketball, he had like one of
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: his like players that got confidence with your player, and
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: the dude just like left the team this year. You know,
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: it's like there's we're seeing just like new different ship
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: in college sports that we're not used to seeing, where
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: guys leave early or they do these tiers early, and
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: it's just a different mindset from a coach and a
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: player perspective, Like I think that kid left because he
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: didn't get up playing time and like the last game
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: of the year. You know that we're seeing new things
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: happen sports. For residents fans, we have to kind of
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: just adapt to it because we're not used to it.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: But it's it's not going away either, So againting out, hey,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: someone's gonna be walking into a good job. Again, it's
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: not Tuscaloosa, uh or maybe like LSU, but it's a
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: high it's a high end job. You're you're getting a
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: pretty diet damn good football team next year you should
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: have from your ranked You're gonna have the tellent you want.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Maybe're gonna lose a couple of recruits, but it's like
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: your recruit is not gonna fall off the map, Penn say,
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: You're still gonna get top to your tail there, So hey,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: you made a decision again for the rest of the year.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Now kind of puts you in a weird spot though,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: probably have a coordinator takeover, but you're you're end of
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: it for the rest of the year. How does your
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: team recover? Sometimes?
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Like, yo, you legit they got two legit coordinators too,
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Like yeah, do they just go away then?
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: You know, like it's it matters who they hire, of course,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that's I don't know, man.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I mean sometimes they get like a guy
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: like Coacho who took over, and you know, sometimes this
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: could be a new opening for a guy to kind
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: of start his career and burden. But you know, you
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: do have to two top tier coordinators. But those are
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: also O season DC's, they're a head coaches, they're they're
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: they're they're paid to specialized in their own side of
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: the ball.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: So but I'm saying, are they going to stay there?
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: You know with the new guy? That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: they they have new deals, you know.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: What I mean.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: So, yeah, you have to buy those guys out, you know,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: like it just gets weird, that's all.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so hey, but they made the choice. Again, definitely
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: a quick reaction. But again money talks, and that's the
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: new world we're living in for sports in a way.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: I just know, Nebraska thought they were something that they weren't.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: And you could even say Florida with.
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: Mullen, thought they were something that they they are, but
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: they weren't as bad as they felt.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Like they were.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: So right now it's the top spot. We assume Florida.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say we you hear that it's gonna come open.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but that would that would move up
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit above Penn State. But both of those
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: would be the top ones.
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: But when you look at you know, five finishes in
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: the top ten six to ten win seasons, they did
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: only win one Big Ten championship, but coming out of
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Michigan State, Michigan and Ohio State when they're in the East,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: a bunch of different Big you know Bowl games, like.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Allard had a couple of mistakes, especially down the stretch,
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: and or otherwise they'd be in the final game. Now,
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: the one thing I'll say is SMU and Boise State
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: to get there. We were a lighter schedule, so that helped.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: Here's Tom Fernellie. Look at his stat so that Villanova
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: win earlier this year was one hundred and four, one
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: hundred and fourth win, right, so he tied for second
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: most all time and he wasn't able to get the
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifth win. They fired him before that, dude,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: So he's now tied for second. He's now they don't
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: have to give any of him back. And that's another
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: thing we know.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: O'Brien helped right away after they lost all those scholarships
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: and stuff, but it's not like they had a ten
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: and two season with them. So compared to where Penn
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: State was and where he brought him, it was damn respectable.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: So bo Polini and Nebraska they brought in Riley. I
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: think it's Mike Riley.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: I think his name is like, you better come with something,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: you know, Signetti, Dillingham whatever, I don't know. Marcus Freeman,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Brent Key from Georgia Tech, Elko's names out there. Although
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they have just as many resources. Now you could say,
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: well it's not the Big ten does to go six
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: or eight deep. So the seasons are easier or less difficult.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say I've even heard many Diaz
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and your boy drink events. I know he's not your boy,
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: you don't like him, but I don't know, Man, I
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: think it's I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. I remember
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back where Harbaugh had him going
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: up in the ten eleven wins and then they fell off.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: They had that like mediocre year. The COVID year was different,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: but they did have like an eight and four year
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: and and it it kind of looked like he made
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: a run and it's over, and then they stuck with
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: him and then it you know.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, I wouldn't have I wouldn't have
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: done that.
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: But they better bring in someone better than him. Now
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: it's forty nine million, they'll probably break it up over
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: a couple of years. But man, that was I'd say
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: that was definitely shocking. Okay, let's get to week eight
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: because we're kind of going long. We had a lot
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to talk about. You know, we have some big games
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: on Friday, uh Miami against a dangerous Louisville team. They
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: do have a good defense. They're off is kind of
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: up and down. Well coached, got a guy that can
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: slang it, but he also slangs it to.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: The other side.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Louisville and then Nebraska is ranked and they now
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: have two wins. I think two out of three one
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: score games this year. They're fairly is it? I see
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: like a minus eight and a half whatever. We'll get
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: to those games. We'll talk it three of them. But
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about some of the the really
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: big big matchups.
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: Old Miss.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Going on the road. They they almost got caught in
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: the look ahead.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Now their defense doesn't seem as good as there there
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: it was last year, but then their offense looks like
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: it's it's doing its thing again and it's a run pass.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I'd say Chambliss had his most mediocre game last week,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: but to be fair like, it just feels like, even
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: though you look at the rushing yards per game for
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Georgia one eighty five, it just doesn't feel like they
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: can do that though on a regular basis, not like
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get to one hundred and eighty five every week,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: but it just doesn't seem like they can run like
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: they used to be able to obviously, but then again,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: O Miss, they're giving up a buck fifty seven. They've
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: played some run heavy teams, so you got to put
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: that in the equation on some of these stats.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: But what says you about this one?
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: Gunner Stockton is a good college quarterback. But if you're
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: if you're trailed.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Georgia needs to not get off the slow starts, man,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: because then they can naturally have Gunner stocked and do
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the run pass and run run and then set up
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: a big pass because they are better at wide receiver
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: this year. But what says you about this one last
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: year twenty eight to ten, the year before Georgia fifty
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: two to seventeen. Well, what are your thoughts? What are
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on this matchup?
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Uh? I, you know, I don't. I don't think george
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: is from a betting perspective, I don't know why Georgia
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: should be minus seven and a half. I definitely like
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: old miss with a touchdown plus a half extra point.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: You know, could Georgia win? For sure? They we as
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: we've seen, they're a resilient team. They're annoying as hell,
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: and Kirby's mantra and bullshit. You know. Another guy that
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: I'm not a huge fan of but again neither laying
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Rob two rung Way two. I think it should be
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: a close game. I know last year Old Miss kind
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: of wooped their ass, and year before Georgie did it.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: I do think again, like we've been saying about for Bama,
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: this is another hard game for Georgia. Georgia and Bama
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: really haven't had any sleep sleep like sleepwalking games. Like
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: you were just an Auburn, you had to you had
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: to grind that one out. Now Old Miss cops thing
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: to have, but that wasn't really a grindout versus Wazoo
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and never you know, so, I think from a scheduling standpoint,
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Old Miss is favored. From a home field standpoint, obviously Georgia.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: You know, they have a record pretty much like Ottson
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: and Oregon where Georgia will lose much at home either
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: up until Bama what they'd won thirty three home conference
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: games in a row or something like that. So could
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: they lose tun or row at home, it'd be pushing
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: a lot. I just think it's gonna be a close
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: football game. And again kind of like with Miszoo and
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: drink with Kiff and again he keeps kind of pushing
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: the barrel up the hill, you know for Old Miss
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: keep kind of achieving new goals. This would be a
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: big one to win at Georgia. Now, the Old Miss
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: at home is raising their game up under Kiffin, but
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: to go to Georgia and get a win there, that
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: would be a big step in the right direction. I
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: hope they pull it off. I would definitely take Old
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Miss plus the seven and a half and I'm gonna
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna say they win because I can't go against
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: my guy. But I think this would be a very fun,
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: full game to watch that I think won't be a
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: blot like the last couple of years have. I think
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: this will be a fourth quarter game because that's what
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: Georgia Seawan is here. Chris. Are they a great team? No,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: but you know they keep shit close, but they find
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: ways to win, you know, for the most part. So
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: it should be a fun one.
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely.
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna buy something juiced up a little bit.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't I agree. I don't think
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: they should.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Be that much of a favorite this year, just with
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: the current squad, But a lot of it just comes
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: down to that getting off to a better start. Man,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: if they can get off to a better start, then
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: I think they're just so much better offensively. And then
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: also like their defense, even last year or last week
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: when they're playing a bad line, like they still didn't
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: really get as much pressure as they needed.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: They got more, but that was due they they I
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: think last the week before that, I think, yeah, I
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: think the week before was their first sack of the year. Like,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Georgia is just not getting to the quarterbacks.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: So if you're gonna let oh boy run around and
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: throw it like good luck, dude, that's not gonna be
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: great because olds, you know, can score. So I like
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Georgia too, but I would just because like you said,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: like historically speaking, are they gonna lose.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Back to back home games. Probably not.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: It could take like some major injuries too for that
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: to happen during the game. But they don't have a
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: great line and they don't get a lot of pressure.
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: So I like the plus number. But I got Georgia
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Tennessee going on the road to Bama. You know, they're
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: not as good defensively last year as they were Tennessee,
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: but re membery it was all defense, no offense. Well
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: it's kind of flipped around now, Tennessee given up twenty
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: nine points outing, which is not good at all. But
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: they're they're scoring with the best of them.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Get this, the volunteers thirty seven touchdowns is fourth most
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: according to Fox Facts, but the passing touchdowns is third
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: most for Crimson Tide.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, and well that goes along
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: with receiving as well. So you know, what is the
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: what have we got? Fifty eight?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: Man, I might go over. I don't know, that's a
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: good number. Fifty eight and a half. That's tough to to.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I might go over.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: But you know that plus number plus eight and a half,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: if you could get at ten and a half or
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: even nine and a half, or maybe just take it
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: right away, I wouldn't doubt if it comes down to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: the wire, per se. But I think jam Miller, if
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: you could stay healthy, they'll be able to run a
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: little bit more. Ty Simpson better quarterback here. So I
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: do like Bama, But that plus number kind of looking
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: at it sideways. You know, in Tennessee, as we know,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: they beat him last year, and then a few years
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: ago they beat him in that epic fifty two to
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: forty nine. I remember exactly who I was with and
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: where I watched it, But yeah, I like Bama here.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: But I'm looking at those points number and thinking, hmm,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of against the spread stuff this week
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: where it's got me thinking, huh, like how many bets
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: do I really want to make in the plus?
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Though?
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I'll take Tennessee. And this just comes out
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: to a mental point of can Bama get up for
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: another big game? Like holy shit? Like we talked, we
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: preach a lot about Florida's heart schedule for Bama, like
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: and yes, they have great athletes, Yes they're probably bear
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: team in Tennessee, but dude, we're asking for a bunch
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: of nineteen twenty year old kids who were driving lexuses
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: and all sorts of crazy shit, like, Yo, you had
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: a huge win against Georgia, tough win against Vandy, squeaked
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: went out against Miszoon. Now you're at Tennessee. Like that's
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: four games in a row where they're all ranked teams,
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: and you've not had like that one little easy like
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: Kentucky or you know, or shit Florida or you know,
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: like you know, they've had a really hard schedule. So
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: you'd assume, just from a pure sports schedule standpoint, they're
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: due for letdown and obviously Tennessee you know that. I
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: mean it's a rivalry game, bring it up for it,
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: But can Bamba get up for another big game that
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: is more meaningful to Tennessee? Like, I don't know. I
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: just think I picked them to lose just off scheduling. Again,
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: I think they're a better team, but sometimes Chris schedules
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: get you. And if they can win this one, like,
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna throw some money on Bama to win
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: the national title because I don't think they'll run the
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: whole season table. But if you can win four ring
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: games in a row, what what else? I mean? Okay,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: maybe they don't have Ohio States defense, but shit, Ohio
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: State and going through a gut like Bama's going through,
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: and I can tell you that.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, true, that's a good point. And you know, I
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: definitely looking at that plus number. But you're right, I
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: mean it's I wouldn't even hold it against them, really,
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean they'd still only have one life
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: the conference as long as they won out.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Oh if they lose, Yeah, this stin't a bad loss.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: No, I mean it's at home, sure, but yeah, overall,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't look at it like now obviously if they
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: got you know, if it was thirty seven to seventeen
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: or something. But overall, yeah, I mean they it could
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: be just one of those things, and they're more battle tested,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: and you know, nowadays, you just got to get in,
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: as we saw, you know with how State last year.
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: You just got to get in, and you gotta be talented,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: of course, but you got to put it all together.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: And it appears that they're putting it together. But we'll see,
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: all right, USC on the road they got two back
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to back games on the road.
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: At Nebraska next week or the week after one of
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: the two at yeah, because they already had they had
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: to buy this last week UFC.
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: That's right, so or two weeks ago whatever after the
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Illinois loss. All right, Notre Dame has gotten their shit together. Offensively,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: Carr is looking like you know, we saw him against
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: Miami and at the start it didn't look so good,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: but he made some plays, especially on those scramble plays
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: where you're like, wow, okay, this kid's good man. And
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: now they're getting more confidence in them. So offensively, i'd
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: say they're they're better than they were last year because
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: they're putting up forty points a game, but their defense
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: is just not where it has been for for like
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: a decade, it feels like. So that's troubling because USC
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: comes in, you know, looking really good offensively too. They're
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: putting up forty five points.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: So you know, the two losses very close to Miami
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: in A and M. I mean, that's top. What's A
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: and M right now? Fifth? What are five losses? You know?
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: And we know that Notre Dame had that bad snap.
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: Otherwise it may go into overtime. So that now A
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: and M came back and scored on him, and who
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: knows who would have won that game, But it was
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: close and it's at home. I already have a plus
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: ten and a half on the books for your Trojans.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: But you know, like here's something interesting, right and they
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: need obviously Love needs to continue to get better, but
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: the offensive line needs to be better too. It's not
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: just Love, but he is starting to put up yards now.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: But the Trojans are third in yards overall in Division
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: one and then eight point two in D one. That's
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: the highest, that's the highest per play. Now here's the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: crazy part. The Irish have eleven interceptions, and we've seen
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: their secondary not look good. It looks like they're starting
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: to make plays back, so that you know now who
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: they make those. That's something you know, we could we
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: could wonder. But the running back Sanders is done for
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: the year and it looks like a why a wide
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: receiver and a tight end tight ends questionable? Flanagan Gilbert
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: won't be available versus USC. But what are your thoughts
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: going in this game? It's a you know, it's a
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: it's a good rivalry. It was a fun game last year,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. And really that that Gilbert only has
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: four catches, I'm checking it out right now. I remember
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: that touchdown, remember that name. But well, what says you
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: about this one? It's it's been it's two and two
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: in the last four games. Actually, no, I'm sorry three
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: and one, because they've played pretty much every year.
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Notre to name the USC for a while.
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: Well. As a huge fan of Jordan, of Jadamyaeva, Chris,
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: I gotta say, I'm really liking that. I need to
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: make you smile. Hey, this is one of those things
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: where again for Lincoln, this could be a big win
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: in the right direction. I feel like all my teams
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: are going through a lot of just monu mental ship
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: right now, and we haven't got to MISSOI yet. This
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: is gonna be an emotional weekend. I gotta celebrate in
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: two year anniversary. Saturday is gonna be a hell of
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: a day, brother, I'm telling you, I might I might
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: need to phone in and phone or front and get
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: some viewership for some of these games in the past
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: ten years, this is the game that the USC loses, right,
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: you know, the You had a good win last week. Again,
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: I'm not Michigan's not top tier, but it was. It
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: was a good win. You did beat a ranked team.
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: You can't take that away. But Notre Dame normally has
• 58:37
  Speaker 3: had her number when we go there. We've had obviously
• 58:41
  Speaker 3: some good teams back in the day who beat them,
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: but normally this is a tough spot for us. But
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: maybe visit now again. Offenses homing, but Lincoln always has
• 58:50
  Speaker 3: an offense. Hell, we had offense with Clay Helton too.
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: But it's like the defense, like, you know, this might
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: be the best test that USC spaces here so far, Chris,
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: from a defensive standpoint, I know, I know their win
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: last record looks nice. I do think obviously missions quarterbacks athletic,
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: but uh, he's not going to give you as much pressure.
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: Car will probably pressure USC's defense more, and Notre Dame
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: can run the ball really well. I man. I will say, though,
• 59:21
  Speaker 3: the only thing that maybe concerns me is the points
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: spread is high. Like if you watch both these teams play,
• 59:27
  Speaker 3: I think this is Vegas's way of saying, dude, USC
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: is not not on the same level as Notre Dame,
• 59:33
  Speaker 3: because I think if you if you just watched him,
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: if you didn't look at the points spread, Chris, you
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: assumes maybe like three to five points. The fact that
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: it's almost ten tells me that Vegas does not respect
• 59:44
  Speaker 3: USC right now. So I hope we prove it wrong.
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: But that spread scene that unless there's an injury we're
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: unaware of, which I don't think there is, that's a
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: huge injury to a quarterback.
• 59:54
  Speaker 2: I mean they yeah, running backs running, yeah, which, but.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: But that that's not gonna affect the point spread as
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: drafticly as we both think. So, hey, this would be
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: a great win for Lincoln. I hope they pulled off.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: I think again, that quarterback's playing great, and as we've
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: seen with Notre Dame, their secondary has been a little
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: prone to leaving guys wide open. So yeah, it should
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: be a fun one. I'm gonna take my USC definitely
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: plus nine and a half. Like you, I hope they
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 3: can pull up the upset. Yeah, this would This would
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 3: be a good one for Lincoln to pull off. This
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: would be a big step in the right direction and
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 3: would increase their chance of being a USC playoff team.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: We haven't said that sentence for the last time I
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: said that, so.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Well, that was three years ago. They would have been
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: If it was like this, if they would have won
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 3: that game. Yeah, but not that.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: But if it was, if it was twelve, they would
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: have been in.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: Oh true, you're a yeah, that's fair.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Notre Dame to win the game, just barely,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: but yeah, that point spread, I don't know about all that.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: And you know who's Notre Dame beat? Now we know
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: who they.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Lost to andrespectable, but with the beat, you know that.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: That's what I wonder too. So yeah, it's gonna be interesting.
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting. Here's the one LS. This is
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: eleven o'clock. It's just amazing. We've mentioned this every year
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: since Fox started doing the the big noon they call it.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: It's amazing how many great games are early now just
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: like that. Oh wow, we could start them at eleven
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: on Central and it's good. LSU at Vandy Vandy the
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: slight favorite minus two and a half.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: You know, like we know Vandy they had a bye.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: We correct, I'll forget, so that's huge.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: Holding the ball keeping Vandy off the field is gonna
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: be tough, like moving the sticks. It's gonna be tough,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: just because LSU. You know, they're lines not where it
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: normally is in their running game. They got a little
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: one going last week, but they got to continue that.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: They have to run the ball, and I just I
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: don't know, man, I don't think they could do it.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: But clearly it's a pick him game in Vegas's mind.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: With I guess you could say LSU on a neutral
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: site would be a very slight favorite. But I'm thinking
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Vanny's gonna bounce back and get the job done. I'm
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: kind of looking at taking that minus two and a
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: half because you know, I got multiple plus numbers in
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: I gotta start getting the favorites bets in there too.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: Now, Yeah, I'm with you. I just think that, Hey, Vandy.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: Vandy went toe to toe with Bama, and I really
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: thought in the Battle of Trenches they did pretty well.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: So yeah, if it wasn't for those turnovers, that could
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: have been a different game.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think that kind of just showed you
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: that after that, that that when Vandy beat Bama last year,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: that truly was a a team franchised winning change. And
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: now they are ranked now they have some of the boys,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: they have a quarterback, they have a coach, and it's
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: at Vandy like there's no death value support. You have
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: seen the nuss Meyer, who was a preseason Heisman candidate,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: has really struggled, only nine touchdowns for five and five picks.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: Brian Kelly gets very defensive of this quarterback. As you've
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: seen my reports, say, coach, what's wrong of their offense?
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 3: We won the game, that's all matters.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 3: You can have a shitty offense, will still be a
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: good football team. Like that does happen two thousand ravens,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: you know, But I just LSU was.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: Kind of like that years ago. First one say that, actually.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're you're right, So I I just think that
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: I'm with you. I think these are two pretty evenly
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: keeled teams. But I think that not being the death
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 3: value is helpful for Vandy. They do have a bye
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: to readjust and yeah, that's pretty key. Yeah, but I
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: just think the way they handled the trenches versus Bama
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: shows me you need versus l s U. And Pavia
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: is gonna hopefully do his part there because I'm probably
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: gonna be with you. I'm probably gonna bet Bandy as well,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: so I'll take an L I'll take a Vandy win.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I just think, now if it's in Death Valley,
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: different situation, but it's not Death Valley, and I'm not
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 3: saying Bandy's gonna be lit. But yeah, I'm sure probably
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 3: a sell out there for sure. But it's eleven AM.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: That's bad. Sure, Yeah, yeah, man, there's a lot, there's
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of football games to watch on hell the
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: SEC alone. You got LSU Vandy at eleven h the
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: two point thirty ish Tennessee Obama and then I I mean, dude,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: a great SEC day plus many others.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're not done just yet.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: Two games I want to put together, Utah at b Yu,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: their favorite three and a half points. B Yu I
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: think has the better quarterback, especially if it's you know, passing,
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: but you know, Utah they looked the part. Then they
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: just got their ass whooped. But then again, now Dan
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Pier's back. I don't know Byu could have lost last
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: week to neither of them have like a bunch of
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: quality wins or like two quality wins or nothing like that.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: So it's the Holy War. I want you to take
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: on that.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: And then Missouri going to Auburn, and I just gotta
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: think Auburn's do because they have talent and at some
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: point the ship's just gonna bounce their way.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: What says you about those two matchups?
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Man? I am, I am a little bit surprised that
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: Utah's favored at Uyu. Bachmeyer I believe is healthy should
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: be good to go for Buyu. I I yeah, uh man.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: And this is a bad blood Lib rivalry. I know
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: it doesn't get up there with the news of like Minnesota,
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin or Bama Auburn, you know, Carolina Duke whatever sport,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: but this is they really don't they really hate each other.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 3: This is a lot of ferocity. I guess you could
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: say in Utah mormonland. I do think that Byu wins Uh,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: it's hard for me to block out the fact that
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Utah got like boat raced by Texas Tech. I know
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Texas Tech is a legitimate squad, which is could be
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: a Final four team this year the way they're playing.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: But I'll take the home team, especially home team getting
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: points in a huge droughtvery game. And for Maszoo, hey,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 3: you had you had a hiccup against Bama or a
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: letdown or whatever you want to call it. Whatever. Uh,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: but if you want to make the playoffs year, which
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: you can still do because you have an easier schedule,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: you gotta win this one. You can't leave. You don't
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: let one loss become two. I think Miszoo has a chance,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: But if I mean chat, I can see this going
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: two ways. Chris auburns like, dude, what the f We're deflated?
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: Miszoo comes up for in cavin easy win? Or hey
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 3: it's seven o'clock a night, the shrubs and the bushes
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: are cut tight, right role we need to freaking win.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: We're gonna go and hate the world and kick Maszoo's ass.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: That could happen to I think this game is completely
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: flipping the coin. I hope Miszoo wins. I hope the
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: Auburn just is a little mentally defeated from their weird
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: ref and bad calls. So I'm gonna pick Missouri win.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: But again, when when it's light squad in Auburn and
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: it's at that field to night, weird stuff happens with
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: Georgia was going through for the first twenty eight minutes
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 3: of that game.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, looking back, you know, Auburn just ran
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: the ball on Baylor.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I looked.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I thought, hey, man, wow, And if they make a
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: couple pass plays a game to their go to guy,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: they could be a pretty good team. The defense is
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: legit and all that, but it turns out Baylor sucks
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: on defense.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: So it's like, I don't know, man, there's just something
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: like I'm staying away from this one. But something tells
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: me Auburn's finally going to break through. But is it
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: against the missou who's going to be trying to salvage
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: what they have to salvage. So I'll pick Auburn for
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: the sake of having to pick on the on the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: on the show, because we don't duck picks.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: But I'm not confident that not confident at all. Okay,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: Louisville could they could they cover as the dog?
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: I have them play right now, it's right around fourteen minus,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: you know, minus fourteen Miami or minus thirteen and a half.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: I have a plus fourteen and a half already booked,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: so that game, and also that's Friday night. There's two
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Friday night games, Nebraska, Minnesota. Minnesota's actually had Nebraska's number,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: but you know, it feels like, you know, it just
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: feels like they're they're looking a lot better. They can
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: put up a bunch of points. But I think it
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: could be a good game. I'm hoping it obviously is.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: But then Georgia Tech at Duke. I saw it at
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: three Duke. I've seen it at one and a half.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at Fox right now. It says minus two
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: and a half. Georgia Tech doesn't have too many acc
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: games that are really gonna test them. Obviously, they got
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to finish from Georgia. But you know, this is they've
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: been you know, Wake Forest, they barely got by. They're
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: better when they're the dog, and they are the dog
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: here technically.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: All right, for all three of those, I think that
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: the d NS are gonna scare the ship out of
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 3: Miller Mohas. That scares me as a Louisville fan. Your
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 3: defensive ends for Miami have really been good this year,
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: better than not.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: But sewing it into that bullshit in the air, I'll tell.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: You when he panics, I think that's gonna get a
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: little scary. Now. Again, I think Jeff Brown is a
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: great mastermind. He's pulled off some upsets. I don't see
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: this one happening though, because that Louisville defense is still
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: not up to par, So going to Miami is gonna
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: be a tricky one. So I do think Miami covers.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: I also think your Gophers win, so I'll take the
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 3: Gopher money line Nebraska and the last meet just said,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, brain fog uh oh Duke, oh h yeah. Hey,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: if you're George Tech, your playoff chances are looking really good.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: And you're right though they do enjoy being the dog.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 3: Their coach has a dog as a record, It has
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: a tremendous record. But I think Duke's get a little
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: too much hype this year. Like that that points spread
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: versus Illinois was incredibly low for a game that turned
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: out to be tough in the second half. So again,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: I think for whatever reason, Vegas enjoys Duke as team,
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm not saying they're awful, but I think you're
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: against some extra hype again. So I will take Haynes
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: King to gut out another victory and we could, Man,
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: we might have a Georgia Tech Texas Tech opening week game.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: That'd be That'd be a fun one, Chris, Honestly, two
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 3: teams we probably don't think about making the playoff, but
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: both have a legit chance. So a Georgia Tech Texas
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: Tech could be a Legitim you talking about I'm sorry.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 2: A first round are you're talking about? Yeah?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, a little unexpected, but a fun one. Oh yeah,
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 3: here's the game. I will bet Cal minus ten and
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: a half against North Carolina. Dude, just s fade Belichick
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: that that team is in disarray. I know Cal' quarterback
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: might have got hurt, but I will take Justin Wilcox
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: in Cal and nine thirty at nine on the West Coast.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: I will for sure bet Cal first half, second half, whatever,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: fade the Tarios. I'm a basketball fan, not a football fan,
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: never have been. Caroline is in a tough spot and
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: then going to Cal's never easy. For anyone. Oh that's Friday.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 3: Oh that shit, that's Friday night. After your Gophers win,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: I'll switched over to the Cal Carolina game.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that's a late late one. You think
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: he's going to be up for that? I mean he's
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: getting up there in age. You know, Belichick might not
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: be even awake.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: At that time.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, his boy. Yeah, it's a twelve twelve thirty
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: night kickoff for the Targos. Is probably all been partying.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: I yeah, take cow.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: His girlfriend though, should be up.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I like Washington, I got him plus. I
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: see it around five and a half six Michigan favorite.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: I like Washington plus I got a plus six and
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 2: a half number. And then also I see it right
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: around a minus nine and a half ten.
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: For Clemson SMU. I think SMU could stay around. I
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: haven't bet it, but that plus sure, I'm eyeballing, like,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: are we sure Clemson could be the okay team by
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: more than ten points?
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 2: Because I'm not sure?
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: What what has Clemson done to be over a touchdown
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: favorite versus a respectably good team?
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we know SMU is not as good
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: as last year. They lost talent or whatever, but they're
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: not bums.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: So no, oh, actually let me check, because so I
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 3: don't to Franklin being fired. Penn State was minus ten
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: and a half at Iowa. That spread is now Iowa
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: minus student Now oh so if you got Iowa plus
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 3: ten and a half, you're lucky.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: Solb Okay our backup quarterback too, because Alar's done for
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: the year.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 3: Hey if that, dude, and that's at night, Okay, that's
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: my other auto bet. You got it. Kinnick and Knight.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 3: Penn State's got to be in a bid distruct. I
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 3: know there's that whole win one for the gipper when
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: a coach gets fired. But you know, it's it's been
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: such a weird spot. It is Penn State right for
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: Iowa fan base, so they don't give a sue. Who
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 3: the course your quarterback is, Like, dude, that is Kinnick
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 3: and Knight all the way that that's a hard spot
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 3: to come into for a good team, a team that's
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 3: lost two games in a row and had a coach
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: fired unexpectedly. Probably like that's for sure, Iowa. I'll take
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 3: the Iowa night over. Uh call it at hosts in Carolina.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's close her up.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 3: Hey, So last week my co host took San Jose
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: State Wild means offense, which has been not existent for
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: most of the year, just puts on a freaking air
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 3: raid show. In the fourth quarter. By the way, there
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 3: was a pick six play when when Santo's eight's quarterback
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: through the ball, it got deflected, it hit alignment's helmet
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: and skyrocketed backwards seven yards to defensive guys hands a
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: run back for a pick six. I've never seen a
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: helmet deflect the ball seven yards backwards to a d line.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 3: Got That was some That was some bad luck, all right,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 3: So we.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: Can't get this segment right at the start. You give
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: me the game and then you talk.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 3: I just had to. I just had rant about that.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: You could have done that.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 3: It was great.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: It was actually well done. It just you know, it's
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 2: it's a we have a we have a we have
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: a format.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: Dude.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: When they were up two touchdowns, I was feeling, great.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to the mac. We're going to the mac
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 3: mcint max. Yeah, this is we have a U usual suspect. Unfortunately, Acting,
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 3: You're back on the show again, baby, yet again. Actron
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: is going to ball State Monthsy Indiana. You've probably heard
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: that name. Okay, at Schumann Stadium, whether it's seventy seven,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: you can pay eleven dollars. You can go to subway
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: or go to the stadium and get it, get food
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: or watch football game. Maybe that subway there. Accron zips
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: are two and five one and two on the ear
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 3: in the MAC League. Ball State's two and four one
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 3: to one in the MAC League. Actron has been the
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: doormat of the MAC for about the past four to
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: five years. So uh, but clearly Vegas does not respect
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: Ball State that much because Ball State's minus one and
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: a half at home versus doormat of the MAC. Chris,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: are you ready to break down our action of the week?
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: I wish it was a true maction though on a Tuesday.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, that that's coming though, two more weeks. Action
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: is gonna be coming.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 1: And we're now in that stretch you know where there's
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: football on every night because you know tomorrow night there's
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: football is not action, but there's football. Now what is
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: it like sixty some odd days or whatever?
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: Straight?
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: Oh hell yeah, beautiful, Yah, we're in that.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: We just started that all kay, So Ball State Akron
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: Lebron does have eligibility, so you gotta leave that door
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: open for him. But neither of them, I mean, I'm
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: gonna round up.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: But Akron on offense averaging seventeen points, ball State averaging fourteen.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: So this this line's up.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: And when you're giving up thirty one and a half
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: like ball State and twenty nine Akron, that's not good.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: And you know whoever they they both rush the ball
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: about the same one thirty one give or take a game,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: which is okay, And they're both giving up. Dude, Akron
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: is giving up one eighty five and ball State's giving
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: up one seventy five a game on the round.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: So they are ever to run them, it might they
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: might go for two hundred, both of them on the ground.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: Ball State the Cardinals.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: According to Fox Facts, of the Cardinals five touchdowns this
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: is all D one are the fewest.
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: In the whole D one.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, they only have one thoy nineteen yards. It's the
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: fewest in the D one. I'm not used to saying
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: D one anymore. But that's pretty crazy for ball State.
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and their favorite I know, but Tavin Curry did
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 2: not play against Ohio. I don't know.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Let's see what Curry's got for the Okay, they're running.
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: They have another guy, so I don't know why they
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe they have a two because they have a guy
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: who is five to eleven.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Now, so if you look at it, they haven't played
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 2: a whole lot. They played in twenty twenty one ball
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: State one five and then they played in seventeen twenty
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 2: seventeen and Akron thirty one to three. So it's been
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: a while since they played. You know, I would say
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 2: beating Ohio, you know, went in twenty to fourteen, is huge.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: But then they they faced Western Michigan and got beat
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: forty two to zero, turn right around and just got
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: their ass whooped.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: So that's not positive. Now they both teams. Let me
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: see here. So they played Auburn, they got beat forty
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: two to thirty. Got it, Akron face anybody tough in
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the non conference. Let me check really quick. Sorry for
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: the delay, but I like to see who they played.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: All that does fit.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: Wyoming ten zero loss, Nebraska sixty.
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: Eight zero dead played Nebraska and.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: They lost to Trent Dilford thirty. Yeah.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: I mean the fact that they they at least put
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: three points up, whereas they got skunked against the power team.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: And then that last sentence, say that again about uh
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 2: Trent Dilford.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 3: H UA B and formerly head coach Trent dilferd. They
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: lost at U A B one. God, they lost thirty
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 3: one to eight, and they oh, they.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 2: Were eleven and a half. They were an underdog, eleven
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: and a half point under. Okay, So here's the thing
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 2: that Auburn game ball steak covered. Okay, they were a
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: plus forty two and a half underdog and they covered, dude,
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: forty two to three. They covered bro Okay.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: So this is all lining up, dude, this is all
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: lining up. I'm going with the home squad. I understand
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: what Vegas is whether the Cardinals ball steak Cardinals, they're
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: trying to stay out the last place in the MAC.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be able to do it. I
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: got the home team ball state, Sorry Lebron.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 3: All right for the alumni battle, this is a little scary,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: I do you know event. Nicole Brown is an actress.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 3: She was on that kind of cult comedy community. Jason
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: Taylor was a Miami Dolphins tight end or a defensive
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 3: end who was obviously a great football player. Charlie Frye
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 3: was Raiders quarterback. And that's about all I got for Akron.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: I had to type in university and I said Akron
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 3: famous sum Night. They put Lebron there. Lebron didn't go
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 3: to college, So that's three they offered. Ball State starts
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 3: off with David Letterman, obviously a very popular person, the
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 3: basketball player Bonzi Wells, who was kind of just I mean,
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 3: you know, just a good a good, a good vet
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: Brady Hoak, a former Michigan coach, and that that's where
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 3: that one really cuts off. So this is definitely kind
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 3: of the most oppressing I've been having a lot of
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 3: people I enjoy is like fans or music or whatever.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 3: This one I really got.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 2: That. But that's your choice.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I do think David Letterman takes the cake, because yeah, yeah,
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 3: David Letterman for the win. So I'm taking a ball
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: State for the w and my co host has taken

  Speaker 3: Under over under is at.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: Neither of them can score, but neither of them can

  Speaker 1: from a couple.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 4: Of years ago forty two and a half, Oh, forty
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: two and a half, I'm gonna I'm gonna go over God,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 4: that's tough because they're garbage on defense.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 3: So ball State alumni win. Ball State's gonna win by
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: one and a half or more, and they're gonna score
• 1:22:33
