The Next Round: Clay Travis BLASTS ESPN Over SEC Scheduling | Alabama-Georgia Preview & MLB Playoff Chaos | Hour 1 · The Next Round

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We're close to another major college football weekend. The NFL
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: cranks up tonight with the 0-4 Buccaneers against the 2-2 Cowboys.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: The kind of thing that makes you feel like, boy,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: if you're a gambler, it looks so easy tonight. Lance
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: will educate us on that coming up here.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: In a moment.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Later in the show, week two of the Righteous Gemstone Locks.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: What was the week one record? I forgot. It was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: close to 7-0. So 6-1? I'll go back and check,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: but I think I nailed every one of them.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Don't remember one of your picks.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: That's why I can say 7-0. We will never know.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: We will never know.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think our audience will know unless they faded you. Yeah,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I've got it where there were such strange picks. There were.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We'll try to pull some out. of our robes a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: little bit later on in the righteous gemstone locks. But
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we'll start with a little baseball. God, did the Yankees
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: lose again last night? They happened to, yeah. Oh, we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: got a pennant. Well, you haven't won the pennant yet. Well,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: we beat the Yankees last night. Throwback uniforms, did y'all
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: like them? I did. It's funny, I didn't like those
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in real time, like when they were actually your uniforms.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Me too. But as they're throwbacks, I'm like, yeah, I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: kind of like that. Me too. I was so happy
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: when they got rid of the devil and they brought
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the Rays in and then they ended up... getting good
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with the race and they bring these back and it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: looked good last night. What'd y'all think of the call?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just idiotic, uh, fan behavior.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Um, like no, no, a little bit better. And that's
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not like a natural reaction. He reached over the fence
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and I believe it was going to hit.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: The top of the wall.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it was top and go over. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: think it was.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Going to hit the top and go over. But again,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: that's just, you know, I, and seeing all the different
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: angles and apparently video replay completely disagreed with that. And
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: they gave him a double and, They get out of
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: the inning, and that proves to be the difference.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you could do what they did. In
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: my mind, I thought, well, it would be just a
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: straight-up ground rule double then, put the guy at second
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and the guy that was on first at third. But apparently,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: as they were walking through the process, they can sit
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: there and say, oh, yeah, that guy from first was
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: going to score. He wasn't going to catch the ball.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: It actually was a bad defensive play. It wasn't even close,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: and it was going to. at worst case or best
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: case for Tampa, depending on how you're looking at it,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: was going to bounce off the wall and go back in.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: So he definitely would have scored.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: And your guy is probably down on the ground after
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: hitting the wall like that. So that ball is going
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to lay out there for a minute. There was going
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to be some time to run. I'm with LT. The
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: guy from first was going to score. Likely it was
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: going to be a triple. I think it would have
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: been a triple because the ball is going to roll
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: out and your guy is probably going to be on
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the ground for a second. I'm watching my first baseball
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: of the season this week. Am I the only... Does
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: this only happen in Yankee Stadium? Because the most famous
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: example of this is from Yankee Stadium. That's what I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: was about to say.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey Mayer and Tony Tarasco.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: That was in right field.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: That was 30 years ago. But, you know, that wasn't
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: going to be a home run.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: No, Tarasco had that ball caught. He was standing under it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Do you remember how pissed he was? Didn't that benefit
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the Yankees? Yeah, because there was no video replay.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: They called it a home run. It was a Derek
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Jeter home run.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: That's right. A lot of people, did they call the
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Orioles a series?
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I don't remember, but I remember the Orioles being really,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: really good. And I think it was a hell of
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: a series. And it became, I guess, so controversial because
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they could have won the series.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Mayer, right? That was his name. And he actually
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: got celebrated. He was the opposite of the Bartman guy
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: in Chicago. This seemed more important than the Bartman thing
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to me. The Bartman thing was in a World Series.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the Bartman thing, though, with the way the Cubs
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: history had been up until that point, the Bartman was
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: a bigger deal. But I guarantee if you turn on
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: WFAN this morning.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Were they killing this guy, the fan?
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were like, that's just stupid fan behavior.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, it really is.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: I was listening to Boomer and Geo on the way in.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And Geo, not Boomer, besides Geo that hosts the show
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: with him, Greg Giannotti, was like, I think he was saying,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: so this was in left field, right?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was thinking he was saying, for some reason,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the right field fans, they're there all the time. The
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: left field fans, maybe that's like more general admission or whatever.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Like right field season tickets. And he's like, you watch
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: if they hit it to right field, because apparently it
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: happened earlier in the series.
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: It did.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: And he said the fans in right field got out
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of the way. They did the right thing and got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: out of the way.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It's interesting because, you know, they do, they love, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: crediting themselves is the most intelligent fan baseball, a baseball
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: fan base. I think Yankees fans are a disgusting bunch. Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But if you're that intelligent and that knowledgeable of baseball,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: but maybe it was people just coming for that. Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Apparently like right field is season ticket holders and they're,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they make a, They're like the, you know, I don't
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: know how to describe this. I'm not a Yankees guy,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: but here's the play right there all the time. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: apparently the left field is a little more transient group there.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: So are they buy their tickets? You know, some money,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: money bros that bought their tickets to be right there
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and try to get a home run souvenir. Yeah, well,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's a natural reaction. So here's the question. There's the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: still photo there. You see where, you know, is it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: going to hit the top of the fence and go
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: over at the top of the wall and come back in?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: never it's not going to be a clean home run
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: whatever it is it's going to hit something uh not
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: not beyond the fence but it was a controversial moment
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: but i remember us talking about the bartman thing back
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: in the day so do you think this guy somebody
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: ran down and got an interview with him or would
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you have stayed uh you wouldn't have done any interviews
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and try to get out of there like would you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: have left the game early Would you have bailed?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Chicago fans are nice. Yankees fans, much like Dodgers fans,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: might gut you, take you out to a train yard
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: somewhere and they never see you again.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I would be no interviews. In fact, I'd say, guys,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I'm out of here. Let's get out of here. Let's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: get out of here early. Let's go and hit the road.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Again, I know that's difficult because it is a natural reaction.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: But if you're a Yankees fan, which those guys were,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you've got to kind of know the situation, right?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask another thing.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Because you reach over, you know that it is fan
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: interference at that point.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: What if they're wearing Tampa Bay Rays gear? Oh, you'd
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: probably get beat down. No, I'm just saying. But it's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the same rule, though, right? Oh, it's the same rule, yeah.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: They make the same call at that point?
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: But I would imagine if you're wearing Rays gear, it
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: goes way differently for you in the left field stand.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: But it makes no sense that the rule, it could
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: be a Tampa Bay Rays guy leaning over and almost
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: helping the team out at that point.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But the ruling would have been the same. It was weird.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: But I guess you don't know at that point if
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the ball is actually going over or not.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: I know. When it's slowed down, even those poor guys there,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: it's just, as you said, it's a natural reaction. Because
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you take those seats. If you're choosing on whatever app
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you're on, you're picking your seat for the game, buying
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: secondary market. If you buy those seats right there... You're
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: talking all day. You're like, man, we're going to get
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: us a home run ball.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: We're going to get us a home run ball. That's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a front row left field, man.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: You cost your home team in a regular season 162-game season,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it. No big deal. But,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: you know, when they're on the brink of elimination and
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: ultimately get eliminated, by the way, your Rays are going
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: to be playing three games in only 14 days with
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the way the layoffs have been when the ALCS starts up.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It didn't seem to affect you this time.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You know how long the Yankees led that series? Zero.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Never had to leave.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Y'all had the week off and were lights out.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: And I think we were off the air. We were
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: talking about Aaron Boone yesterday.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: He's got to be out.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: But you think about $ 303 million payroll to your $ 91
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: million payroll. They were celebrating... The Rays were celebrating at
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium two weeks ago when they clinched the East.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Now they're celebrating last night in front of that fan base.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how Boone survives this. See
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the celebration in the locker room. Started by Cash the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: skipper who said family bus leaves at 11. Team bus
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: leaves at 11.45. Nobody goes to sleep, and he starts
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: shaking and starts whispering. That's awesome, yeah. Because they don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: play for a while. They get plenty of sleep coming.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Three-day hangover, wouldn't matter.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and fly back. Good celebration for Tampa Bay. Twice
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they've won the American League pennant. They'll try to do
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: it against either the Guardians who stayed alive yesterday, landmine,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: or the White Sox. Give me Forrester's microphone. Forrester, it's
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: the only game today because everybody else ended yesterday. Nerves
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: for your jovial Southsiders.
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: Feeling less jovial today.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I am Japanese.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Frankly. Yep.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I hope I am Japanese. I am Japanese.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: Feels like they blew an opportunity.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Well, you said this in our text thread. How many
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: outs are there in a baseball game?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: There are 27.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: If you strike out 19 times, is that bad? That's
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: a problem. That's kind of bad.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: 19 to 27?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Like I could have gone up with an invisible bat,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: not even a bat in my hand, and stood in
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: the batter's box and only struck out What is that,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: eight more times than your team did yesterday? If I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: just went up there without a bat.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: And now combine that with your pitchers walking nine guys.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: It's pretty bad, Scott. Not a good recipe. Not a
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: good recipe, no. 19 strikeouts. Yeah, it's crazy.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: It's a lot.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Two triples for the Guardians first time in postseason. History
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of that franchise is being able to do that. You
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: go back, first two games, how dominant the White Sox
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: were on the road. Guardians 11 hits, 9 runs yesterday
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: after only 7 hits and 3 runs in the first
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: two games. We got a series now.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Hey, if you guys, Scott, have you thought about this?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking about this. If you make the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: World Series, the White Sox.
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: I'm not talking about that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: No, but if you all make the World Series. Will
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Tyler spend money and go?
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: No.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask, do you think the Pope
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: will come? No way.
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: No way.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I think he would to a game at Chicago.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I think the Pope might come. I think it's possible.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: You know, there were rumors that, you know, the White
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Sox were really secretive about who was going to throw
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: out the first pitch yesterday. There was some speculation that
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: he might be in the mix there.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think the Pope might actually come to a World
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Series game.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Is he in good enough shape to throw out a
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: first pitch?
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's all that old. I think this
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: guy is, I'm going to guess, Let's see if we
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: can guess the Pope's age. What's his name? What's his Leo?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say Leo. Okay. I'm going to say 56.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a young Pope.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Pope Leo is 71.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: There's no way. They're all old. I mean, that's not
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: a young man's gig. Yeah, they don't try to find
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a guy that can serve for 100 years. I mean,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: what are we doing with presidents and popes, man? Let's
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: work some younger people into the mix. No, he's young
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: for a pope.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a good-looking pope.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he seems like— I mean, you guys
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with Bob Chesney and now the pope? I think Scott
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: meant good-looking health-wise, not attractiveness, right?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: He's a young-looking 70-year-old.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what Scott's saying. Great way to put it, Tyler.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Great way to put it. And I agree. I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: he looks younger than 71.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Well, look, if he's not there, Trump will be there.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: That's right. Didn't know there's a hurricane. Do you see
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that press conference? I saw the text. He's got a
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: lot on his plate. He didn't really say that, though,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: did he? I thought he did. I saw the video.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: It's great. So a hurricane coming for Alabama? So he
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: knew Bama, Georgia was playing.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: We didn't start with the weather, by the way. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: got it. Coming up.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Coming up here. We'll get to that. Traffic and weather
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: on the 8th, Lance, if you'll settle down. We've got
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: to talk about the storm in Atlanta first. The Atlanta Braves,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of our audience, Braves fans, Dodgers finished them off.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Dynastic is the word used with the Dodgers. They're chasing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a 3P. Talk about a problem. Ronald Acuna has become
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a problem. That's a problem. But the team, the team
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: as a whole, one of 23 runners in scoring position,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and they hit 145 as a team in this series.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: So it's not all Ronald Acuna.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, but Ronald Acuna was behind that. He weighted that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: 145 down. He hit 125 this series.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Even worse.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Austin Riley hit.. 091 for the series. Matt Olsen beefed
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: it up a little bit. He hit. 148 for the series.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's amazing the Dodgers can go on
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: the road and play a team like the Braves that
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: were so good in the regular season against the Dodgers.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: The Dodgers won through five in the lineup, one of 19,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and they still score four runs and win that game.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I just don't understand this Ronald Acuna thing. Are you
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: ready for Brooks' stat? This is going to blow your mind.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, Brooks.
• 12:36
  Speaker 8: Ronald Acuna has not had an RBI in his last
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: 68 postseason play to pick.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Man, 68 appearances without an RBI.
• 12:44
  Speaker 8: His last RBI was game six of the 2020 NLCS
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: versus the Dodgers.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: And I assume he's your highest paid player. Oh, he's
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: got to be.
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: He might still be on that kind of hometown deal.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: What a waste of money.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: He got a massive deal, I think, two years ago.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: He announced yesterday before the game it came out a
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: massive deal with one of our second half sponsors. That
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: was a massive deal. The timing of that was, I
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: know you get a massive deal, a promo deal, commercial deal.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine if I would have gone before the series?
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: You know what? Ronald Acuna is not going to have
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: an extra base hit in the postseason. What kind of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: odds can you get on that? Three for 24 this
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: postseason with zero extra base hits.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I said it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Yesterday on the show that it had been 2020 the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: last time he hit a postseason home run, which... Seemed crazy,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: but a postseason RBI.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: RBI, Lance. You can walk with the bases loaded and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: get an RBI.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: And he had so many opportunities in this series, too.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Key moments.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just astounding. And the fact that, I mean,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that he went to his skipper. In the last game,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it said he was too sore to play in the field.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: That's enough for me if I'm a Braves fan. This
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: guy doesn't hit the plate, and in a postseason game?
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I can't believe people were trying to annoy
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: him the best player in baseball a couple years ago.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: A playoff game? You're too sore to play in the field?
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: What are we doing?
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Hey, by the way, the Braves have five players making
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: more annually than Acuna.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Some of them might be earning it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Topped by Austin Riley, who was also not great.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Some of them might be earning it. He just got
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: that big pay raise and on the back end of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that had a horrible, I mean, it wasn't just his series.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: He was horrible hitting all season long.
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: But Matt Olson, Hashong Kim, Spencer Strider, and Chris Sale
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: all make more annually.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Strider watches a lot of college football, right? He's never playing.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Never in October. In the fall, right? He's usually on
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: the IR.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: How about Dubon, though? Actually, the left fielder probably should
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: have taken that call. But after making such an incredible
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: play on Freddie Freeman in the third, in game three,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: what happened last night, that kind of set the table
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: for the Dodgers to tie it up. And that was,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you know, I was in Buffalo Wild Wings. When that happened,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the Braves fans were just like, oh, my. And you
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: could just, it was like deflating.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Boy, another Buffalo Wild Wings trip from you there.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, it used to always be our friends
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: at Walk-Ons, but I got people that come to, we
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: have a meet every week.
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: And they don't want to come all the way down
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: to it. Okay, can I?
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So it's a meeting place.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Halfway point with TV. Can I make an admission that's
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: probably going to make me the butt of the joke
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: again today? Tyler, can you Google, before I say what
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say, can you Google just a still
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: photo of the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial where the Big
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Buffalo and the guy are sitting at the bars, their
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: most recent one, okay? Don't say anything. Don't say anything.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Don't say anything. Well, I think you just tipped it off.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: All right, so years ago, we were still on radio
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: when Fansville started, and I thought the dad in Fansville
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was Doug Flutie. And y'all were like, Doug Flutie?
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, ended up being the drug dealer from 90210. Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and I thought it was Doug Flutie.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: That one right there, top left.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looks nothing like Doug Flutie.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, is this Justin Herbert? Yes. Okay. Well, I thought
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: all along it was Justin Herbert. Wait, that's Justin Herbert?
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: That's Justin Herbert.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That is not.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: No.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: That is not Justin Herbert.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: That's Justin Herbert.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, at least I'm not alone in this. You think
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: that's Justin Herbert?
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: That is Justin Herbert.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it is, Jim.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: There it is.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: See, it's Justin Herbert. Costumed Justin Herbert? Costumed Justin Herbert. No,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but he's in a costume. Scroll down. See, that's him.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: That's Justin Herbert.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: That's him in the Buffalo Wild Wings commercial. And I
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: watched it a number of times, and I'm like, is
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that him? You guys never knew that?
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: No.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I thought it was him, Lance, but then I always
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: go back to the fans.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: It's an awful commercial, by the way.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: I don't love the commercial, but I just... Awful song.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: For sure. Let me tell you, if my guys are
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: doing these commercials and they're sucking... I'd ask them to
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: go ahead and pull the commercials off the air. It
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: would drive me crazy if I'm a Chargers fan.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: What are they, 0-4?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm watching that every commercial break. Every commercial break,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm getting that, and he's 0-4?
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: A little less mini corndog, more.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Touchdowns, please.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: So I'm trying to talk myself out of that being
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert back to the Fansville thing, but clearly I
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: was correct this one time. So baseball, one game tonight.

  Speaker 1: our first break, it's time for, we're on the eights, right?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Weather on the eights, Brown. Oh, we're not going to
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: do traffic first? I go first? Yeah, traffic is okay
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: this morning. Traffic's good? Traffic all clear? All right, so
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: everything update-wise has been positive on this storm since basically
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: yesterday morning.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Isaias?
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Is that how we're saying this? You know, I don't know, Jim.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: This is a name I'm unfamiliar with. I think it's Isaias.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I think I'm getting that right. It's an interesting name.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know how we come up with these names. Apparently,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: some of these names get retired. If it's a really
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: big hurricane, they retire the name, I am told. I'm
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: just going to cut to the chase on this. It's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the football. Obviously, we are concerned about the people on
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the Gulf Coast, and they've been given plenty of heads up,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: so I hope people that have... Thank you, Stephen A.,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: for correcting that really quick.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I talked to our friend real quick,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Mick Gillespie, this morning, who lives down in Baldwin County.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: He's down on the coast.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: He's talking about they might be relocating tomorrow to Tuscaloosa,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: but he's not sure because they're only saying it's a
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Cat 1 right now.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's growing stronger. Just a Cat 1. Yeah,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't roll the dice. I'd go. Some are saying
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it may be a Cat 2 when it hits. Key
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: word to that was right now. Yeah, right now. Those
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: things can't change.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: So, obviously, our concerns with everyone on the coast, get
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: to safety as best you can and reach out to
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the authorities if you need help. I'm saying all the
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: right things, I hope. I don't know how to deal
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: by the way i think it's 25 off with our
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: friends at the floor obama if you want to order
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: uh yeah drinks and hurricane and t-shirts and stuff from
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: them to get them shipped to you and yep sort
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: of have a hurricane party from from afar yeah praying
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: for those on the gulf coast that's right my daughter
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: is a student at the university of south alabama she
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is on her way home so you know they're the
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Students are going from there. It's actually fall break, so
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it worked out well there. But for the football aspect, okay,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: that's what we do here on this show. For the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: football aspect, according to James Spann this morning, the weather
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: looks favorable for Saturday night's Alabama-Georgia game at Bryant-Denny Stadium
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa. Lingering clouds, an outside risk of a passing
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: shower or two, and winds less than 15 miles per hour.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: So I was worried about yesterday. I thought it was
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: going to be no rain, but winds 25 to 45.
• 20:31
  Speaker 8: No.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Everything has, from the moment we started the show yesterday,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: every update has actually gotten progressively better for this game.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: So if you don't complain about tailgating or anything like that,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: if you just suck it up and say, okay, tailgating
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: is not going to happen this time. We're just going
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: to go to the game. get into you know a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: great place like a galette's or an innisfree and hang
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: out walk over to the stadium then you'd be good
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: to go yeah i mean tailgating is probably not going
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: to be the best and The drive-down's going to be
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a little dangerous. Yeah, I don't know. Have they announced
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that the final decision is they're doing game day at
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Coleman Coliseum? Has ESPN actually announced that? I think they did,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't look like the rain's going to give
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: up there, so that's a good plan for them. They
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: always have an indoor backup plan. That's right. They've used
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: it once this year already without a crowd, but now
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: at this point, I guess they can have a crowd.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I was going to say it kind of kills the atmosphere.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, it definitely kills the atmosphere. Well, the one time
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: they had to use it, I can't remember which game
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: they were at. It was LSU, Clemson to start with.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: way they had to jump in momentarily because of lightning
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: yeah they had some music building or something they were
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: in and it was just the crew in there and
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: no fans i with enough advance i don't know if
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they're going to open coleman call us in for fans
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: i mean they've done i hope basketball game day i
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: hope just do it for football game pat coleman yeah
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: so anyway that's the update it's a positive update uh
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: the updates have only gotten more positive as uh the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: week is going on so that's good all right but
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: keep everybody on the gulf coast and then you know
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: we always make the the assumption, okay, there's landfall, and
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: then we forget that it's still a hurricane or a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: tropical storm as it blows off the coast. So landfall
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: happens on Friday night, early into Saturday morning, but that's
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: still a pretty severe storm as it moves up its
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: path up Highway 43 in Alabama. So keep everybody safe
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: and think about everybody and be on standby to help
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: out if needed on the backside of that. All right,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: when we come back, some more on the games going on,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: both the NFL tonight. and what's happening in college football
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: this weekend on a major weekend. Right now, currently, we
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: have 15 unbeaten teams in college football, FBS. The most
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we can come out of the weekend is 13 because
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: we have two unbeaten matchups this weekend. I'll ask the
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: question when we come back, how many unbeaten teams do
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: we still have when college football leaves week number six?
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: This is the next round presented by Hard Rock Bet
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: on Sporting Stage. One of the unbeaten teams this weekend,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: one of the matchups that are between two unbeaten teams is,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: of course, Georgia, number two in the country at number six, Alabama.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Cut 12, Tyler, if you can get me. Georgia defensive lineman,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Elijah Griffin. Boy, everyone's talking Alabama. coming off the start
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of their season, very few people talking about No. 2 Georgia.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: They've been laying in the weeds all year.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: Are you Kirby?
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying. They're pissed at 7-5.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: It's pretty true, bro.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Is that not the truth?
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: They've played one meaningful game, and they destroyed the team
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: they played. Yeah, but here's Elijah Griffin knowing that Georgia
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: goes in as an underdog to play Alabama this week.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: You know, they're a great team, great physical team. And,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: you know, we're a great team, a great physical team.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: So it'll be a great challenge for us. But, you know, ultimately,
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: all the things that we do from yesterday's practice to
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: today's practice, all those things lead up to Saturday. So,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: you know, if we execute well, you know, we'll get
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: the job done for sure.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you kind of said it right there.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they're a great team. You're a great team.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: As a team, how excited are y'all for the chance
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: to play a great team to prove that you're a
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: great team, if that makes sense? Yeah, no, definitely.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: We're super excited because, you know, We don't back down
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: from any challenges. We run to the storm, and we
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: don't run away from it. We're definitely 100% ready, in
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: my opinion.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Interesting analogy. Running into the storm or to the storm.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: True statement here, right? Winner and loser of this game,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: still top four, top five teams in college football. You
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: can make that case, right?
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the winner, you can go on and book them
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: a ticket to Atlanta. I believe. And the playoffs.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: And the playoffs. You know, the loser of this game,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I still think, is going to be a two loss
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: team and it's going to get to the college football playoff.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: You don't ideally want to lose this game, obviously, this early.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I say early. We're coming up on the middle of October.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But I do believe the winner of this game is in.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: When you look at the remaining schedule, if Alabama is
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: to win this game. And they're impressive again when they
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: win this game. You look at the schedule, really the
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: only thing that sticks out is at LSU. I don't
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: know how you guys feel. I don't think Tennessee, the
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: way they're playing right now, if Alabama, you know, crosses,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: you know, jumps another hurdle and continues to get better
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: and better, I don't see that Tennessee offense keeping up
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: with them. And then Texas A & M and Tuscaloosa,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: come on.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, I will point out Georgia lost this game
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: last year and got a bye. So, Different schedules. I
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, Lance.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: And Georgia's got a different schedule than Alabama.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's not even, you know, I mean, a
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: loss in this game wouldn't even be, you know, a
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: bye penalty. You could still make it to Atlanta and
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: win the SEC championship and maybe not even have to
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: play an on-campus game. But both Alabama and Georgia had
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: favorable schedules going into the year, relatively speaking, in the SEC.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: It's an SEC schedule. It's tough. But compared to Texas
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma and some others... The Alabama-Georgia schedule, if I
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: had to choose any SEC schedule, those were the two
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I would take as the contenders.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree. I mean, Alabama's looked a little
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: more challenging before the year with that four-game gauntlet, and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: that got mixed up a little bit, and Mississippi State
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: ended up being a little more challenging. But Georgia, speaking
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: of challenging, they haven't been challenged. 19 snaps in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: second half. It's been a total of 19 snaps where
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: they didn't lead by 14 points or more.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And that can sometimes hurt you.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: It can, yeah, especially on the road.
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: It's the first shakedown cruise. Alabama's been behind, and it's
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: had to battle back a couple of times. Been behind
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: on the road. They've seen where the holes are in
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the boat, and they've plugged them up a little bit. Georgia,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: they don't know if they've got any holes in their
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: boat yet. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. It's a team
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: that has not been asked to play four full quarters. Now,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: as Joel Klatt pointed out, you know, With Gunnar Stockton,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that's kind of his superpowers, how good he is in
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. He hasn't had to play a fourth
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: quarter yet. So, you know, I do find that really
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: interesting that Alabama has had to play a full 60. Yes,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: kind of a couple times this year. I mean, Florida
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: State felt like a full 60 for Alabama. They had
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to play to win that game. Had to come back. Kentucky,
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. They won that game in the third quarter.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But had to come back. State was never a game.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: So.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I shouldn't say State was never a game.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: It was over in the second half, though. A couple
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: of pressure points. Yeah, I mean, it was 14-7 at
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: one point. You had to do something there. But even
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Georgia hasn't really faced that.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd love truth serum with Kirby Smart just to
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: see how he is mentally for these Alabama games. I
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: know kind of exercised the demons last year in the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: SEC championship game. But this has just not been a
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: matchup that has gone well for him.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: It has not. 2-8 all-time against Alabama. More on that
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: game as we move throughout our four hours today. More
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: on the unbeaten matchups. The other one, which is Indiana-Nebraska
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and the other unbeaten teams in action this weekend. I've
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: got a handful of unbeatens going down this weekend. We'll
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: see what Lance and Brownie thinks after Lance tells us
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: about the great folks at Clay Travis Law. Tell us
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: about Clay Travis Law.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, accidents do not wait for a good time. A wreck,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a fall, a doctor who wasn't paying attention, suddenly you're
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: fighting an insurance company that does this every single day.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: That's why Clay started Clay Travis Law. I built a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: firm around one idea. People deserve someone willing to pay attention,
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: ask the hard questions, and push back when things don't
• 28:17

• 28:19

• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, 15 unbeatens. I'll throw him out. LanceIsLocked.com for his
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: official plays. He's going to give us some leans and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: thoughts and some of that. But these are his official
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: plays against the line at LanceIsLocked.com. First of all, Notre Dame,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: an independent. is still unbeaten, hosting Stanford this weekend. No
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: pucker factor at all? Zero. Stanford's terrible.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame's won 15 straight by double digits. I mean,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: they have been completely dominant again. They missed the college
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: football playoff last year. Stanford is not good. I mean,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: they're coming off their worst loss of the year where
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: they lost by 54 to Wake.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: From the group of six, in fact, the other two
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: unbeatens in the group of six, Both pucker factor games
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: for me this weekend. North Dakota State at UNLV. My
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: gut is UNLV has found something. They win this football game.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: You got a feel, a lean, a thought?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, UNLV got propped up a little bit last week
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: in the one possession. win over Cal when Cal committed
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: 16 penalties for 147 yards. I do have a lean
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: with UNLV right now. I like this North Dakota State team.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: You guys, I backed them last week again. I've kind
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: of been riding them a little bit all year, and
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I think they're a really good team. But this is
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: by far their biggest challenge. And you wonder if that
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: pressure gets to them.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they've got a pretty good one-two run attack with
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold in their tailback there. So UNLV, it's a
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: Dan Mullen-looking team right now. Yeah, and they've settled into
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: their roles, to your point. They didn't really have that
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: when they lost their two games in the openers in
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: their big battle group of six matchups earlier, including the
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: loss to Memphis. They seem to have found their personality.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: And I, too, think James Madison's in trouble at Georgia Southern.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: If they're going to be in trouble, this is the weekend,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: much like North Dakota State. I mean, because when you
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: look at what is remaining on JMU's schedule, it ain't
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: a lot. So if somebody's going to get them, it's
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: going to be this week with Georgia Southern. I thought
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: about drawing that eagle. It's a really bad logo, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: it's difficult to draw.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Hard to draw.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I do kind of like them this week.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: But I think James Madison's really, really good.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Well, when you think health and family, you often think quarterback, right?
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: That's right. And for those that have forgotten, and it
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: is very easy to forget, Georgia Southern's quarterback is... I
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: knew this back in August. Max Johnson. He has been
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: playing college football since the late 80s, and he is
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: currently in Statesboro, Georgia. So there you go. He's got
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of experience. Max Johnson is still playing football.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: It's hard to believe. And Billy Napier is on that
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: other side.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Try to name the schools. It was A & M
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: to LSU or LSU to A & M.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: One of the two.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: North Carolina.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: LSU to A & M, I think.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it is LSU to A & M.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the bad injury at North Carolina. North Carolina. And
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: then is now with Georgia Southern. He hasn't played at
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: that many schools. It just seems like he's been doing
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: it forever.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I think it's seven years.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: I say we have– that's the world we're in.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Or 2020, I think.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: He hasn't played for that many schools, and he's played
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: for four. And I say he hasn't played for that many.
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: Here's how long Max Johnson has been in college football.
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: He was the starting quarterback that won Ed Ogeron's last
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: game at LSU.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: 2020, right?
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: 2021.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: But he played in 2020. Yeah. Everybody is pointing out
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Max Johnson has been quarterbacking so long, he was already
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: a quarterback the last time Ronald Acuna had an RBI
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: in the postseason. Which is true, by the way.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: But yes, both current undefeated group six teams are possibly
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: in trouble this weekend.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Three unbeatens in the Big 12. You have Texas Tech
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: on a bye, so they can't lose. BYU with Iowa State,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: a little pucker factor there, I believe.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, just because of the way Iowa
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: State is playing at this moment. I mean, they've got
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: a running back right now that is seventh in the FBS,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: a former quarterback, Anthony Fiora. He's 594 yards. He's averaging
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: eight yards per carry right now. So Iowa State under
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Jimmy Rogers has been kind of a pleasant surprise. They
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: haven't really missed a beat from Matt Campbell, which seems
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: kind of crazy. On the other side, unfortunately for BYU,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: if you watched them last week against TCU, offensively challenged
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: because LJ Martin went out after three carries. He's out
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: again tomorrow night. Bear Brottmeyer has not been great. No, no, no.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Their defense is 100% carrying them. So this could be
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: a yuck game. I still think BYU will find a
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: way to win it. It's a flat spot because you
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: know what next weekend is.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: And this is what worries me the most about BYU
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: in this game. What are they doing? They're looking ahead.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: We've got Notre Dame coming in next week. It's easy
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: to overlook Iowa State.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Satake seems to always have his team focused, though. And,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: you know, this might be a complete rock fight where
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: they win, you know, 13-10. I think they will find
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: a way to get out of this, but I do
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: think it's going to be close.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: Then there's the ACC with three unbeaten teams. Miami has
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: a bye. I believe there's pucker factor in the Pitt-North
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Carolina game. There should be. You've got a backup quarterback. Yep,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: you've got a backup quarterback making his first start now.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: North Carolina played Notre Dame pretty well. I mean, they
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: were not outmatched in that game. They hung with Notre Dame.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: They had a kick return, and it was bad conditions,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: and I know a lot of things happened. But North
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Carolina's an improved team over the last year. I don't
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: think you can deny that. I know they've been through
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: a mess in the offseason, but they're an improved football team.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Billy Edwards turning the football over a little too much,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: but Holden Gerner getting his what, this is year five
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: for him getting that first start for Pitt. You know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Heinzel going out, that's bad break for Pat Narduzzi. I agree.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I think this is going to be a difficult game
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh, but I think they won the game.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: How come none of us drew a North Carolina logo?
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Wasn't that at four, four and a half?
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Well, it's an 11 o'clock game, so I stayed away
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: from it. Yeah, four and a half.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: What an idiot I am. I should have drawn the
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Very cute little foot.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Cute.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I think you've got, I was watching Jack State playing
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: that cute little stadium last night. Isn't that what you
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: call Kennesaw Stadium? That cute little stadium?
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Nice winner for Kennesaw State. Thanks very much. You got
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the outright win. I got the cover.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: You got the cover.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: I'll take it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: All I wanted was the outright win. Looked like it
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: was a gift. The Jack State should have covered that one.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: That fumble, the fumble. The kid got blown up on
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: that fumble, but Jack State's driving to go up.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Well, what I was scared to death when he got
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: blown up, I was like, is that going to be targeting?
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: And they never really, the two angles, they didn't go.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Back to it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I would have thought with a turnover for sure they
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: would have checked that out.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: But if Jack State, they're driving to score right there.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: If they score right there, I get the win and
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: you get the loss.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: I get it. But, you know, Kennesaw was up nine
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: in the second half. I felt good the whole game.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Duke unbeaten, and nobody talks about them.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Nope.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Duke at Georgia Tech. Pucker factor? I know the back
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: room thinks so.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I was talking about I was impressed
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: with Duke in week two. You know, I've been backing
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: them a little bit when they went into Champaign and
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: beat Illinois. But Illinois is two and three. Illinois is
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: not good. Nate Shepard is really, really good. Georgia Tech
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: is absolutely awful. If you go back to after the
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: 8-0 start, do you know what their record is?
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: How many games have they played?
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: They have played nine games.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Nine games?
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Since the 8-0 start.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say they're 1-8.
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: 2-7. 2-7?
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Well, this will be an emotional game, Jim, for Georgia Tech.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: They are wearing the Reckham Tech logo on their helmet.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know this.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Duke's not wearing that?
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Flants.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: God almighty.
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: They're wearing the Reckham Tech. Do you do a sports
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: show in Birmingham? The Reckham Tech logo. So it's a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: very emotional game for Georgia Tech. When they play that
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Reckham Tech game each year. That's right. Don't leave off
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the M part of that, the E-M part. No, you
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: don't wreck Tech. You confuse people if you wreck Tech.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Dude, 4-0 against the number Georgia Tech. 0-4 against the number.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: We talk about good coaches win, great coaches cover. Redneck Gangster,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: not only are they struggling, they're not even covering. And
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Alberto Mendoza, you know, big name coming over from Indiana
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to Georgia Tech. He is looking for his first ever
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: win over a power four.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Indiana, Nebraska, two unbeaten teams we'll talk about later in
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the show. But obviously one of them will win and
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: stay unbeaten. One of them will lose. And then there's UCLA.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: UCLA.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: At Oregon, Bob Chesney's team now is a top 25
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: team again, up to number 21. Here's Chesney on his
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: message to the team.
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: We had our team meeting Sunday, and that was a
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: big part of what we talked about. You know, we
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: put up there the number 21, right, where we were
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: ranked or whatever the number is. And to me, I said,
• 37:07
  Speaker 6: if you pay attention to this number, you know, it
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: will go away, right? If you pay attention to what
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: you did to get that number, right, and only focus
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: on that, improve that maybe the number even gets better
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: who knows as time goes on but that can't be
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: anything we talk about or worry about and that's why
• 37:22
  Speaker 6: I wanted to bring it up one time and that
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: was the end of it and then just Refocus ourselves
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: back on the process. We're really eight weeks into this
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: season four of camp and in four of the scene
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: We have eight left to go right? So it just
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: like you walked in on day one of football camp
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: You know and you were committed to the cause and
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: committed to what you were going to do right now
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: eight weeks later With eight weeks left, right, we have
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: to recommit to that same process and that same mentality
• 37:46
  Speaker 6: and the same way we went into the season is
• 37:48
  Speaker 6: the exact same way we should be entering into the
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: second half of the season.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: Just for feet. So he, they're the underdog, so obviously
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: a pucker factor for UCLA to stay in.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I mean, the reality of the situation is
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I love how they're playing. They are 4-0 right now,
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: but they've played the 113th most difficult schedule in college football.
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: They haven't beaten anybody, and they haven't beaten Oregon in
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: a long time at all. It's an eight straight losses
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: in Eugene. I ran across this yesterday. The last time
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: UCLA beat Oregon in Eugene, Dan Lanning was a freshman
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: linebacker at William Jewell, and Bob Chesney was the special
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: teams coordinator at Kings College.
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: It's been a minute, you're telling me. So they felt
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: so bad in the aftermath of the 96 bombing, they
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: named a college after a guy? Yeah, I think that
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: was Richard Jewell. What would their mascot have been?
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: A bomb?
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: The Bombers.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: The Mad Bombers.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: The Mad Bombers.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: And then the Georgia-Alabama, both unbeaten. One will stay unbeaten.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: One will take a defeat. And then there's Texas in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the Red River against Oklahoma. Pucker factor for Texas. It's
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: got to be. I mean, with that offense being as
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: anemic as it can be and going against a quality defense...
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think if you're a Texas fan and
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: in a rivalry game that is often surprising and played emotionally,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I think you've got to be worried.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys know I'm a contrarian, but I
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: look at this and somehow Oklahoma will scratch and claw
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: and find a way.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Oh, they'll be in it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Texas has more takeaways defensively, five, than touchdown drives they've
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: allowed in four. They've allowed four touchdown drives the entire season,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: and now we're looking at this Oklahoma team. How is
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma going to manufacture drives?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: No sense. How are they going to do it? Well,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to require... short fields and probably
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: a defensive or special team score maybe both you know.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: And it's going to require a really really low scoring
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: game we brought this number up yesterday since 2000 the
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: team that wins the rushing battle is 24 and 2
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: in that matchup.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: So 15 is what would go into the weekend unbeaten
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: The least we can come out with if there's massive
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: upsets is four because of two buys and two head-to-head matchups.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: The most we can come out with is 13. How
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: many unbeaten teams do we come out with? I'm going
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: to say the group six split.
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say one loses, either JMU or North
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: Dakota State. What is a mandatory that we've got?
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: That takes it down to 12.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: But then what do we got? Don't we have undefeated
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: on undefeated?
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that counts that. That counts that because we got 15.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: So 12 is where you're at right now.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: I'll say we get down to 10.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say 10 as well. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: don't know where they're all going to come.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: I'll say we get down to 10.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Massive chaos, down to eight for me.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: That'd be a fun Saturday.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take it.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: That's a fun Saturday. Because two going out, Georgia and Alabama, Indiana, Nebraska.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Then I think Texas goes down. I'm going to say
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: UCLA goes down. Pitt goes down, and then both G6s.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: North Dakota State, James Madison goes down. Did you say BYU?
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: I did not say BYU. That's very much in play
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that on the surface, I feel
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: good about saying UCLA. I feel good about one of
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: the group six, not great. I don't feel great about Pitt.
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: But if I play in that game right now, I'd
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: play Carolina plus points.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: So you can play his games at lanceslike.com. We'll talk
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: to Clay Travis. When we come back on the other side,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: tell me about Clay Travis Law one more time before
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: we take this break.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, accidents do not wait for a good time.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Our man Clay Travis started Clay Travis Law, built that
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: firm around one idea. People deserve someone willing to pay attention,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: ask those hard questions and push back when things don't
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: add up. They lead negotiations with honesty, determination and southern grit,
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: car and truck wrecks, ride share accidents, medical malpractice. They're
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: going to promise you honesty. They don't sugarcoat your case.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear what it's actually worth, not what
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: you want to hear. Case evaluation is free. Go to
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: claytravislaw.com or call 877-222-4444. That's claytravislaw.com. No case too big
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: or too small.
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: As we head to Clay Travis here, just an amazing story.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Watching Eli Drinkwitz earlier this week, Emotions, saying that one
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: of his players, DJ Jones, because of being caught by
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: the medical staff at Missouri, realized he had a very severe,
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: life-threatening heart issue. And then good news comes today that
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: they've had successful heart transplant surgery for DJ Jones. And
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: he's now recovering and everything is positive in that surgery today.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: It's a remarkable story.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: You wonder if he is not an athlete at Missouri
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: with the facilities and the resources they've got if this
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: has ever come.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: We've seen this before, things like this. I would say
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: it would have ended very differently if he had not
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: been blessed enough to be a college athlete and had
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the great medical staff there at Missouri that monitored and
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: then sent him to the Mayo Clinic and now the
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: heart transplant. So good for him. A lot of people
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: have been praying for DJ Jones. All right, let's talk
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to Clay Travis, founder of Sporting State. You see him
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: on Fox and the Big Noon Kick as well. Welcome in, Clay.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 42:51
  Speaker 5: Well, how are y'all?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: Doing awesome. Thank you very, very much. I want to
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: start with something you tweeted about. You were discussing the
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: schedule for next week where Alabama and Tennessee will play
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: a 2-30 game. There is no SEC primetime game on ABC. Instead,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: they are showing Notre Dame and BYU. The SEC and ESPN,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Disney are business partners. And in your reporting with the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: people you've talked to, including SEC coaches, this half of
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the partnership seems upset with that decision.
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, that is accurate.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: And by the way, it's not just Tennessee, Alabama playing
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: at 3.30 Eastern. You guys may have the roster of
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: games next week up. It's that there are.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Two 11 a.m. kickoff games.
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: You've got Florida at Texas at 11 a.m. Central in Austin.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: And then you have, I believe, LSU is hosting Mississippi
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: State at 11 a.m.
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Central.
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: So you have a head-to-head 11 a.m. local kickoff in
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: the SEC. And then you have three at 2.30 Central,
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: 3.30 Eastern. Alabama, Tennessee is one of those. You also have,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: I believe it's Ole Miss-Missouri, if I'm not mistaken, and
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: Georgia against Auburn.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: That is right.
• 44:07
  Speaker 5: Correct me if I'm.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Wrong on that. No, you're right on all those. The
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Deep South's oldest rivalry, third Saturday in October, which are
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: two of your historic rivalries, and then also a very
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: good Ole Miss-Missouri game. It's a very good 2.30 Central
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Time window.
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: There are five games kicking off at 2.30 Central, 3.30
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Eastern or earlier, including the dreaded JP.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: Game, Doubleheader, at 11 a.m. Central.
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: And then you have two, I think it's fair to say,
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: relatively weak, a.k.a.
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: Crappy, would be another way to put it, games in
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: the evening.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: ESPN has stacked the deck so they are not competing
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: with the BYU Notre Dame game or arguably even worse,
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: the Miami.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: Hosting FSU game, which is nowhere near as good of.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: A game as the five SEC games that are slotted
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: earlier in the day. So there is a great deal
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: of anger inside of the SEC over the fact that
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: ESPN is rigging primetime scheduling to avoid competition. By the way,
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: they did it this past Saturday, too, when they put
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Clemson hosting Miami in as a primetime game.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: If you happen to look, I know I don't have
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: to tell Alabama fans.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: You had Mississippi State hosting Alabama kicking off at 11 a.m.,
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: which was arguably the best game all day in college football.
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: I know Alabama won comfortably, but on paper... That looked
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: like it was going to be the best game of
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: the day. And so I just think there's tension building
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: here is the way that I would put it over
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: ESPN not allowing the best, most signature SEC games to
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: be put in a position where they would appeal to
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: the biggest possible audience.
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: Walk me through the way these contracts work, though, Clay, because.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Does the SEC go into this just expecting a little
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: good faith with your partner that they're going to spread
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: these games out a little bit and not put other
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: conferences in that primetime slot? Is this something in the
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: future that the SEC is going to want written into
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: the contract that? that maybe we need to spread some
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: of these games out. How do you deal with all this?
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: Is some of this part of the mandated windows that
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: we give out in the summer that had Alabama and
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State put into a morning window and no ability
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: to move and flex those around?
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: I think sometimes games end up, to be fair, sometimes
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: games that we don't anticipate being really good games end
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: up being good games.
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: Everybody out there can anticipate this. I'll give you an
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: example this weekend.
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think very many people thought LSU going to
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: Kentucky would be that intriguing of a game. It now
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: looks like a decent game. Kentucky's 3-1. They've won two
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: road games. They look like a much better team.
• 46:53
  Speaker 5: Than we anticipated. But on the window question that you asked, Dunaway,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: I think it's a good one.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: They said either Tennessee-Alabama will be in that 3.30 window,
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: or I think they said 8 p.m.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Eastern.
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: So the expectation from the SEC is, and I think
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: reasonably has been, that ESPN is going to put the
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: best games in the best window, right? So if, for instance,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: Tennessee had lost two games or Alabama had lost two games,
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: pulling it back and saying, hey, we're going to kick
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: this game off at 3.30 Eastern, I think would have
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: been acceptable, right?
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: Because the game wasn't as good as people expected.
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Presuming that Alabama were to beat Georgia, even if they don't,
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: presuming Tennessee beats Arkansas, even if they don't, game's still
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: going to be pretty good, right? And traditionally, the game
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: has been pretty good. So I know directly Tennessee was
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: furious that they did not put this game in primetime,
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: and the expectation was that the game would be put
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: in primetime.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: And I think it's emblematic of a.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: Larger issue, which is the SEC has become so popular,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: particularly now because they've gone to nine games. I think
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: there was a handshake, hey, ESPN players, telling the SEC,
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: if you go to nine.
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: We're going to pay you.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: And we know that your overall games are going to
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: be even more popular because you'll have more bigger games, right?
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: And we'll take care of you.
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: And that's going to lead to higher television ratings, which
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: is going to set you up for way more money
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: in the future. Well, if you're rigging it so that
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: the ACC is artificially benefiting or the Big 12 is
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: artificially benefiting when their games are not on the same magnitude,
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: the SEC I think has a reason to be upset
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: at the method by which their games are being distributed.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, Clay, now on to the games. As a Tennessee fan,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Faison Brandon was obviously benched last week. George McIntyre comes in.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Now Tennessee goes to Fayetteville to take on an Arkansas
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: team that has lost 13 consecutive SEC games. We got
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: into this a little bit yesterday. As a Tennessee fan,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: how would you like Heupel to handle this? Because even
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: if McIntyre goes out, against a terrible Arkansas team and
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: plays well, does that really tell you who your starting
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: quarterback is going to be moving forward, especially going against
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: a team like Alabama next week in Knoxville?
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I know.
• 49:19
  Speaker 6: So.
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: step back.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Tennessee managed to get the only judge in the entire
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: country that wasn't biased in their favor, who ruled Joey
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: Aguilar was not going to be eligible, which is the
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: exact opposite ruling that Diego Pavia got. If Tennessee had
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: Joey Aguilar, which I think was the hope, I think
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: they'd be undefeated. I think they would have beaten Texas.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: The defense has been better than anticipated. Quarterback play has been,
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: with Faison Brandon, atrocious. I presume you guys watched a
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: lot of that game against Auburn. I mean, Tennessee was
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: almost able to... They had a 40-yard touchdown called back
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: for an unnecessary hold.
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: That was away from the play.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Deshaun Bishop almost had 300 yards rushing against Auburn. And
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: Tennessee couldn't even throw the football with Faison Brandon.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: So.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: Going with a true freshman, I think in many ways
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: he was overwhelmed by what he saw against Texas. A
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: little bit unhealthy. Came out against Auburn. Still looked like
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: he was seeing deer in the headlights. Ghost in the
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Sam Darnold vernacular back in the day when he was
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: going up against Bill Belichick. And they had that clip
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: of him from an audio perspective. So, look, I think
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: Tennessee is going to be very vanilla. They have to
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: be given the young quarterback situation. They have a very
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: talented running back core. They have, I think, a really
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: talented wide receiving core that they haven't been able to
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: break out. But they're running basically an eighth-grade offense. And
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: I think that's a function of what's going to go
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: on there. Heupel benched Faison Brandon after he made his
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: first turnover. I think if you told Josh Heupel right now, hey,
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: your quarterbacks are not going to turn the ball over,
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I feel like he believes the talent that he has
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: elsewhere is good enough to be a 9 or 10
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: win football team. And so presuming Tennessee gets past Arkansas,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: I think you look at the schedule going forward, there
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: are three games really that would jump out, Alabama, LSU,
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: and I would say at Texas A & M. Now
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: you can argue Kentucky, South Carolina, somebody else could certainly
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: rise up and be a major challenge. But if you
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: could go one and two in those three, right, You
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: have a very good chance, I think, of finishing 10-2,
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: which I believe would get Tennessee into the playoff. And
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: it's a little bit of a sort of an echo
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: of the 2024 year when Nico was a first-year starting quarterback.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Defense was really, really good. Offense was the question mark
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: all season. We'll see how much better Tennessee can get
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: at the quarterback position. But again, I think if Tennessee
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: had Joey Anguilar, I would be very comfortable that they
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: would be a playoff team this year.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: How strange does it feel for you, Clay, to watch
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: Alabama and Georgia play a regular season game and be
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: the two highest scoring offenses in college football? It feels
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: like we're in a weird world.
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: I took the over in this game.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: I know we've got the hurricane watch, the questions to
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: see what exactly is going to happen. Keelan Russell, to me,
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: is the best quarterback in college football right now.
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: That 39-yard pass he made against Mississippi State on third
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: and 19, I think it was. I don't think very
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: many guys in college football can make that throw on
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: a line laser. And then a couple plays later, he
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: had the, I think it was a 24-yard run for
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: a touchdown. He's performing at an incredibly high level. I'd
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: be a little bit concerned about the Alabama secondary. Can
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: they consistently keep getting turnovers? Sometimes those come in bunches.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: But I like the over, and I took Alabama to
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: win this game against Georgia this weekend.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Any concerns for you yet about TV ratings in college football?
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: They look down to me, but Brown says they're about
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: the same. Are you worried about them at all?
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: No, I think what you're.
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: Going to see is what we have been seeing, a
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: flight to quality. The SEC and top-level Big Ten games
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: are going to produce huge audiences. I think it's going
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: to be harder and harder for the mid-tier and lower-tier
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: games to produce substantial audiences. I think we're going to
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: see that rush to quality going on.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: By the way, as you head out, you mentioned the
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: weather in the Alabama game. Every forecast we get, it's
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: only getting better. So there does not appear to be
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: much of an impact, hopefully. By the way, I am.
• 53:35
  Speaker 5: Up guest hosting Fox News this weekend.
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: I had to turn down an offer from President Trump
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: to fly into Tuscaloosa on Air Force One to watch
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: the Alabama-Georgia game. So I just want everybody out there
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: to know how much I'm willing to sacrifice to be
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: the hardworking person that I am.
• 53:55
  Speaker 5: I didn't call in sick.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: I didn't say, hey, the president wants me on Air
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Force One. I'm going to be in a television studio
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: in New York City on Saturday. I'm going to be
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: watching this game from a sports bar instead of hanging
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: out with my boy, the president of the United States,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: and flying in on his plane.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Can't you get him to pardon that and get Buck
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: or somebody to sit in for you?
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're not the only one giving for the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: show because I had to be here this morning. I
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: passed sitting with Kamala Harris last night at the Atlanta
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Dream Game. So we all make sacrifices.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: That's very good.
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: You're a girl. I mean, look, I appreciate all the
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: white dudes for Harris.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Clay, thank you. Have a great weekend.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: All right, I'll see you all. Thank you.
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: All right, Clay Travis with us, all the show. And
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: you can see he and Buck following us here on
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Sporting State and the Daily Wire. Clay and Buck show
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: follows us right here. And then the Clay Travis show
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: after that. All right. Because I do too much show prep,
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: dream a winner last night. They're one win away now
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: from going on to the WNBA championship.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: Really? Wow. Wow.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: That's some show prep you wasted your time on.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lance, no, this is not performative. It's not performative.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Any chance you can name any of the other teams
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. We're in the semifinals. So there's four teams.
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would guess the Aces. I think Vegas
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: was good.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: I would guess the Aces. The Aces are against the wall.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: The Valkyries, Golden State's team, they're only two years old.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: One went away from going to the championship. And the
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Dreamer beating, hang on. It's not the Indiana team because
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: old girl was making picks last week. That would be
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: on TV somewhere. Yeah, I would have seen some discussion
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: about that. But Kaitlin Clark was making the picks at Iowa,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: so her team had been bounced.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: They've got to be rolling that Sidney Sweeney out on
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: the WNBA games because you know they're salivating when they
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: see Sidney Sweeney.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: The New York team.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: Liberty.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, is it?
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: I got it.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 55:46
  Speaker 5: Liberty.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: If I'm right about all of that.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Hey, again, women's basketball top heavy?
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Shocking, right? I can't get a helmet sticker right, guys,
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: but I can get the WNBA playoffs. The same guy
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: that got the Liberty there had Duke wearing the Reckham

  Speaker 1: you know he signed his first player for his Nashville
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: franchise if he ever gets one yesterday. Enos Cantor.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: I think Cantor is a little past his prime, but
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: I still think he probably would average 75, 45, and 15.
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: 6'10.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: He's 34 years old.

• 57:43
  Speaker 1: if he ever gets that opportunity.
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: I saw something on social yesterday. That was actually Clay's backyard.
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: It was?
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I guess so. It looked a little trashy for Clay's backyard.
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: Only had one paved court, not a bunch of them.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we'll do some righteous
