• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Welcome in.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Glad to have you with us here on this Monday
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: with Rusty Burson, with Robert Cessna. Guys, thank you for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: coming in on Labor Day as we labor on Labor Day.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: First impressions on Saturday, Cease.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Well, the first impressions was when I was watching that
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: half and the penalties and they were screwing up. It
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: wasn't pretty. It wasn't pretty. And you actually, at that point,
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: I'd lost track of how good the defense was playing.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: So my first impression was, wow, this offensive line, that's
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: not good. And at the end, I'm chuckling. I'm right
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: in a 50-0 game.
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I thought that the– Not that there's
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: any question at all that A & M was going
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: to ever go in the game. But I thought A
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: & M was able to take a deep breath after
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: they got the safety because the first possession, they go
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: down and score, and then the next two possessions, they
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: don't look good. But that safety kind of like, okay,
• 2:51
  Speaker 8: they took a breath.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, we're going to be okay.
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: And so in the grand scheme of things, a two
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: points is not that big in a 50-0 game. But
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: I thought at the time, I was like, okay, A
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: & M had a chance to just take a deep
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: breath and say, okay, we're going to be fine.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: And I'm with you because there was some point in
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: our show about to probably buy a place when Missouri
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: State was going to go for it in fourth down,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: and I go, oh, they're just waiting for the clock
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to run out, and they took the timeout, and they
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: still went for it. It was a horrible play. Yeah, yeah.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: And I thought that was kind of– Like you said,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't say a turning point, but it was like
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: A & M was slushing around, and you're thinking, like,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: are they going to do this all game?
• 3:30
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's so hard to pitch a shutout
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: against anybody, and I was looking around the SEC, and
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: it's like, you know, I mean, there were three shutouts,
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: and then Texas almost shut out Texas State. So, I mean,
• 3:40
  Speaker 8: it was like A & M had a very dominant
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: defensive performance, but then so did OU, right, against UTEP,
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: and then so did South Carolina, and they shut out
• 3:50
  Speaker 8: Kent State, and then Texas almost shut out Texas State.
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: So.
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was a really good defensive day, and the
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: fact that the SEC went 16-0, pretty impressive, even though
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: Auburn did not look that great.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Which is remarkable, given it's been... Since 1997 that that happened.
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: Is that right?
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: Wow.
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah. Crazy.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: It is crazy because there are not tons of really
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: great games on the first weekend.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: Last night was pretty fun. The second half. So, 97
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: since SEC? We're 16. It was undefeated. A & M
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: wouldn't have been in the conference. Correct. That's right. So,
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: there are 14 to know, I guess. But still, that's
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: probably amazing.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Probably 12-0 all the way back then, right?
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, maybe. That's still impressive. It is. Because you're right.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: And Rusty touched on it because when it was all
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: said and done, I go, almost everybody scores these days.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: I mean, Rusty, because on the offense.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: Because if you're up 50-40 to nothing, you put the
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: second strings in, the first string offense is going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: score because they've got a quarterback, they've got a receiver. No,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: they couldn't even score. And I'm thinking, man, that's hard.
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: Four first downs.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And one of them was on a penalty.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Right? Yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 8: So they had three first downs in the entire game.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: That's really impressive defensively.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: And the longest pass was 10 and the longest run 7.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: That's just unheard of. It's those little things that you
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: slip in when Elko said, like, they wanted to play
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: someone more, but they only had 46 to order one's
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: defensive snaps. They didn't even have enough snaps to play
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: all the defensive guys they wanted to.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, again, it was really, really impressive defense.
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: And they just smothered Missouri State.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And like I said, in the first half, I wasn't
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: really paying. Paying 67 yards in total offense.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: 67 yards. Versus five, what?
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: 500.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Let's see. Let me. 505. 505. Yeah.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: That's pretty one-sided.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Pretty one-sided.
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: But what's more amazing to me was about every weekend
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: is LSU had more yards than that difference against Clemson.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, Clemson, which is amazing, but. Guys, we'll get
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: to that. I was going to throw it out to you.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: As I watch games, these, quote, $ 40 million teams or whatever,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: I just think there's such a wide variance between because
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: I thought in the second half and later on, if
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: they had still been playing today, I don't think Missouri
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: State scores. And I think A & M might have 6,000
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: points because they were so– Missouri State was beat bad.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: They were ready to go to the house. And I
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: just think there's such a– A talent-level difference. Yeah. What
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: stood out? Players, what is it about the win that
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you took away, Cease? Well, and in fear, but just
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, early on, A couple times I
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: had glasses on, and Missouri State was just confusing them
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: with bringing only three players sometimes, but just by going
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: and having them flop the ends or just going ahead
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: and crisscross defenders. But once A & M picked that up,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: their line of scrimmage, when you look at the yards
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: per rush and yards allowed per rush, everybody's going to
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: look good and read early how to make a couple
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: plays because of bad pressure. But he had a clean pocket,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and he threw the ball pretty much on line. So,
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: once again, I always go back. This is a defensive league, SEC,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: and you've got to be good up front, and A
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: & M was very good up front when it was
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: all said and done once the O-line got in gear.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I really liked Isaiah Horton.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, obviously he– He had one mistake, but by
• 7:34
  Speaker 8: and large, he was just a dominant presence out there.
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: And the receivers overall, I thought, looked really good. I mean, obviously,
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: we know what Mario Craver can do. So it was
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: nice to see Horton. I thought that Reed was pretty good.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: I think he hit the open passes, what, 70%?
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Yes, 21 to 30, two drops.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, 70%. It's tough against air, right?
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah. And he had the two drops. I liked it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: I liked the way they got him out on the run,
• 8:06
  Speaker 8: got him out of the pocket, and I love his
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: moves in the open field.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I think that depth stood out because, obviously, he played
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: lots of players because of the nature of the game.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Those two freshman running backs, man, they stood out to me. Yeah,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: they are good. Baker and Edwards, they really stood out.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: They did it without, I'll just do the asterisk because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: Missouri State was so beat up.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: Come the third quarter.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: True, true. But I liked all the skill, getting back
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: to Rusty. Not only that, but at the end of
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: the day, I looked, we didn't even really see them
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: use their tight ends very much. We know they're good
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: in receivers. So you look at all the options that
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: A & M has in their passing game. A lot
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: of weapons. A lot of weapons.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 8:48
  Speaker 8: I liked that when Brady Hart came in and just
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: threw a touchdown pass.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: I was like, boy, that was easy. Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: Okay.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I was sitting there. If you guys, and I do
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: always have the broadcast on as well, a big play
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: early in the game, like when A & M scored
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: their first touchdown, they're at wherever they were, the 24-yard line,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and the cornerback was giving Horton 10 yards at the
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: snap because they stopped the play on the replay, play two. Yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: You're 10 yards off Isaiah Horton. I mean, you're just
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: asking to give up a big play. I mean, it
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: was Missouri State. And this was early in the game,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: and I go, it's the first game for everybody. I mean,
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: you think they even had a lot of transfers. I
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: don't care who you are, but I go, A &
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: M' s got all the weapons. It's how do they use
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: them moving forward. Yeah. And how efficient are they? Yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: And, you know, obviously, I mean, we didn't see a
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: whole lot from Terry Bussey, but– It was just nice
• 9:43
  Speaker 8: to see him make a couple catches.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: And he's the name.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: That had kept coming out all through fall camp, right?
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That if there was an MVP of fall camp, the
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: people were going to say, well, it was Terry Bussey.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: You're right. And what I saw him, I really liked.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: He's wide open for the touchdown, and maybe that was
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: Reed's worst throw of the night. All he's got to
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: do is lead him, and it's an easy touchdown. But, A,
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: he got that open. Yeah, exactly right. And I know
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: it was, we're getting back to Missouri State, but I go,
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: Bussie is wide open, and he was open a couple
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: other times. And like I said, you have to put
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Bussie down as maybe, is he the third or fourth
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: best receiver on this team? So that's a good problem
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: to have.
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a real good problem to have because that
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: receiving group is very, very deep.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been a while since we've said that probably. Well,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: here's the deal. It's probably gone back to the Sumlin era,
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: but they didn't have everything else to go with it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Like we said, we're talking about a defense that gave
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: up 67 yards. And I know they weren't playing an
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: FCS team. They were playing a team that went to
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: a bowl game last year.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I told you guys I had no idea they
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: were playing a team this week that has a chance
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: to win the national championship until I heard Coach Elko
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: this afternoon.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: That's why Dusty was out there, so you'd be informed. Exactly.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there's definitely a step up in competition.
• 11:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, I don't think Arizona State's in a position
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: to win the national championship or even the Big 12,
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: but I think that there's a definite step up in competition.
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: No doubt.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: And again, they can apparently throw and catch too, right?
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: Which is always dangerous.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: They had a lopsided win too, you know?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Six touchdown passes they threw for.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I love the way A & M schedules things. The
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: schedule works out pretty well. This is going to be
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: a good test because we know that Arizona State's going
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: to have talent on both sides. A & M' s defense
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: wasn't tested at all. They'll be tested this game. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: then you have A & M should win. Then you
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: have the hype of, yeah, Kentucky's not that good, but
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: it's still an SEC team. New coach wants to prove himself.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: This will be a big game for them as it
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: is A & M. So I love they go one, two, three.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: then you go to LSU. So I really think A
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: & M' s gonna get tested enough You know, I felt
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: if A & M come out and dominated early in
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: the game the way they did late on offense, maybe
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: they'd be a little bit cocky, you know, maybe not
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: get after it. But they played so bad there for
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: about a 15-minute period on offense.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: They gave Elko an opportunity at halftime to challenge them, right?
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Didn't throw a chair, but, you know, he probably got
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: their attention. Oh, no question. He was hot coming off
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the field at halftime. Every time they showed him at halftime.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Through the first half, he was not happy. He wasn't happy.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: And Damian Sanford didn't play, which is, you know, if
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: there was any doubt whatsoever, why play him?
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: And we expect to see him this week, I'm pretty sure.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: If he's healthy, I would. And once again, you're playing
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: Missouri State. Why go out there?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And again, I'm looking forward to seeing a team that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: comes with some offensive power. to watch the defense with
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: an offense that can hurt you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I don't expect a shutout this week.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: No, a team that can hurt you. And I love
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the linebacker play. I love the defensive line play. But again,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I want to see them against better competition because if
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: they're as good as they showed, then it's going to
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: be the kind of year that Aggie fans are going
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: to enjoy.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I think so, yeah.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: I want to see what the offensive line can do.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Is the line out on this game yet, Cease? Have
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: you seen the line? Fourteen and a half when I
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: looked at one line. Okay. That was yesterday. Okay. We'll check.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: I know you're going to check here. Yeah, we'll check
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: here in a minute. The bookie man. Yeah. I could
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: check with Lane Kiffin if I ever got his cell phone.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: He knows those pro lines and pro players. Let's talk
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: about Lane because what is it, Stan? It's still 14
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: and a half.
• 13:46
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: I was really impressed.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And by the way, what got lost in all of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: this is they blinked at LSU. They just said, we
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: can't play those. I saw them on game day right
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: that morning. So we can't play the players right now.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: They blinked. Okay.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: After all of this stuff going into the game, I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: don't think these guys are going to play.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think either.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Okay. Yep.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And, but they were, focused they were really good they
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: were good on both sides of the football i know
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: that clemson is not very good uh rusty you mentioned
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right off the bat if there was any doubt that
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that the dabbo era is coming to an end i
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: think it was erased on saturday.
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: Night i still don't know if they have the money
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: to buy him out they may not it's 53 million
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: i believe wow So it's a lot.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of money.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of money. It's not very much for
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: A & M.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: That's a lot of money. Yeah, it's a lot of money.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: So I don't know. I know the fan base has
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: lost confidence in Dabo altogether.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Which is, you know, I always liked him. He's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: obviously a heck of a coach. We've talked about this
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: many times on this program. When you have a program
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: that is... been at the top and you start that
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: downward slide you just don't see very often that program
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: can turn back around and get back up the mountain
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: to where it was.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah i think ship it reminds me like on the
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: the whole tom landry you know past his prime kind
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: of thing you know they're still playing doomsday and doing
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: the same thing when the game had changed so much
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: and And Dabo just refused to buy into the NIL.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: And he got so far down the road that once
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: he realized, oh, my gosh, I've got to change, it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: almost too late.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: And he's lost the confidence of.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: That fan base. I've got family out in South Carolina.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: But he doesn't have a quarterback either. No, he doesn't.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: You don't have a quarterback. You are toast right now.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: And he had quarterbacks when he was in the National Championship.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, he did. Yeah. Without a doubt, because we've seen
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: that a little bit with Jimbo here, coaches, their style.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: You've got to adjust. You've got to constantly adjust. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: if you're not, you've got to move aside. And then
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: what's happened now, Rusty, and you see this so much,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of coaches will tell you this. When your
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: program or people who go out and get money, when
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: your donors lose hope, that's when you're done for. Because
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: right now, Clemson, there's almost no way that I can see.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: This is the first game of the year. I mean,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: they got absolutely drove.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: It's got to be such a long year, I think,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: up there in Clemson. For everybody involved, starting at the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: top with, you know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: They led early in that game. And then they gave
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: up 51 straight points. Like, I mean, it was 3-0 Clemson.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: LSU threw a pick, right? They threw a pick early.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: Intercepted and led to a field goal. That's what I mean. Yeah.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, oh, my gosh.
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: That just.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Boat run them.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: The talent discrepancy was just off the charts too. That's
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: the other thing you look at. We knew that they
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: were number one in the portal. We knew how many
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: players he brought in. But I'll say again, they played together.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Sam Lovett was really good. I don't know if he
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: can go through the season running the way he did
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: against Clemson in the.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: SEC every week. But he was really good. And I'll
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: say this about I say a lot of things about
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin because as a journalist, a writer, you always
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: like him because he's low-hanging fruit. He's going to give
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: you tape. He's going to give you sound bites. He's
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: going to give you quotes. Here's the deal about Lane Kiffin.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: He can sit here and make jokes with us if
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: he was in this room. He'd go right out. His
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: game face is on. And his players reflect him. You
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: see them be a little goofy at times down at
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: the SEC media days, but he is in total control.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: His system works. And on the outside, going in, you go, oh,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: he's not going to win these big games. So I
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: will say about Clemson, I'm looking at their schedule. They
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: have very real opportunity to win four of their.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Next five games. They are hosting Georgia Southern. They're hosting
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: North Carolina. They travel to Cal. Then they have Miami,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: which I want to talk about. And then they play
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Charleston Southern. So they have a chance, a decent chance
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: to win four of their next five games.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: It'd be four and two.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And maybe take a little pressure off. But not as
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: sky is falling. Because right now the sky is falling, like.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: You mentioned, Rusty.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: It was awful. No, I think it's already fallen.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: If you'd have told me five years ago that this
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: was going to be the Clemson team on the field,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I would have said no way.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: I would have said that too.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Because they were killing everybody. Yeah, they were.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: Dabo was on the top of the college football world.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was. And mentioned among the top one or
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: two or three coaches in football.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. It was either him or Saban.
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. Because they played each other like three times. Exactly right.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: last year last week this time you give me uh
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: clemson and 35 i'd probably take it in a heartbeat
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: and said what are you thinking rusty.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: So my my team of the week and my player
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: of the week is malachi tony and the university of
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: miami and now again they they didn't uh their competition
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: is going to get better but malachi tony put on
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a show friday night and and Right now, he moved
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: way up in the Heisman. Again, I said earlier, it's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: week to week. But this guy wasn't on my radar.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: To win the Heisman because he's a receiver.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: And after watching him play, and I watched a lot
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: of football and a lot of quarterbacks this weekend and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of running backs. Kwon Lacey should be on
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: the list, but he got hurt, unfortunately, last night. uh,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Malachi Toney was the player, the best player on the
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: field that I watched this week.
• 19:51
  Speaker 8: Have they ever had any good wide receivers at Miami?
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: A couple.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Michael Irvin's still standing on the sidelines. If he gets arrested,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: he might be even better.
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: Well, because he set a record with 234 yards receiving.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: And I thought that was just going to be the
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: first half. He had like 130 yards, 140 yards the
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: first half.
• 20:08
  Speaker 12: He was amazing.
• 20:08
  Speaker 10: And Aggie.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Aggie fans should be a little bit excited because didn't
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: he get shut down pretty much last year? He got
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: shut down. What does Elko say? This is the best
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: secondary he's had since he's been at A & M
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: at any time? And they shut him down. And those
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: secondaries back. Jordan Shaw, actually, they put on him, I think.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: And they shut Tony down. So I think in an
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: indirect way, that's a compliment to A & M' s defense. Oh,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: there's no doubt. I was thinking the same thing, Cease.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going, man, how did you keep? Now, he beat
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: them on an end around, not catching a pass.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Because they came in here and said, that's one of
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the keys. If A & M stops Tony. And that's
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: what you have to do.
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: And the wins.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: May have been the MVP.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I kept waiting.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Hey, do you want to put a second or third
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: or fourth DB on this guy?
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Because right now he's killing you. And they never did.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Mensah looked really good, too, obviously.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: The quarterback who's the highest paid, I think, right? Guy
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: right now at NIO?
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I think so, yeah.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Right up there with Arch? I don't know if I'm
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: going to rate him. He's going to earn it. He
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: earned his money Friday night, and he's going to earn
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: his money. They look good. They looked really good. We
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: just had a rough time buying stock in Miami. I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: with you, Cease. Cristobal. Cristobal. I'm with you, but you
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: know what?
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Last year, even with stupid penalties, even in the championship game,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: he did that. But, man, I think they've turned the
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: corner down there, and they are formidable right now.
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: I mean, those two guys at Miami are head and
• 21:38
  Speaker 8: shoulders above like Dante Moore right now.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: If he goes to college. Yeah, Dante Moore.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I said this, Rusty. He didn't lose to Heisman. He's
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: still in the race. His numbers, when you look at
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the— it didn't look like it when you looked at that game.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: His numbers ended up being— unbelievably good.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Is that right?
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. But I'm with you. He didn't look good. The
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: whole team did, but the whole team didn't look good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: And I don't know how good.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Boise looked good.
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 22:08
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Boise looked good, and I think Louisville looked good last night.
• 22:11
  Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Louisville looked really good.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And I tell you, the thing that Reardon said to
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: me last night, the reason I didn't pick Ole Miss
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: in the top two or three because Trinidad was back.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: I knew Trinidad was back. I'm not sold. On the coach?
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: Yet.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: Because he hadn't done it. Right.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He's been a coordinator. He hasn't done it for a season.
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: He did it for three games last year, and they
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: were good.
• 22:36
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: But they were rolling, right?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That was a shootout in the second half.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: It was just unbelievable.
• 22:40
  Speaker 8: It was a shootout. Back and forth.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: And Trinidad became Trinidad in the second half. The first half,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: you're going.
• 22:45
  Speaker 8: Shame on Ole Miss for the busted coverage late in
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: that game. Stupid.
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just terrible.
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: Twice.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Twice.
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, it was stupid. You cannot bust the coverage on.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: And Golding's called, by the way, Golding's calling the defense.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: And he's a defensive. He's got the job because he's
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: a good defensive coordinator. Yes. But they, they got housed twice.
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: Ole Miss had that game and you cannot just let
• 23:08
  Speaker 8: it get big. Can't get deep.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: You can't get deep behind you.
• 23:11
  Speaker 14: Yes.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I agree. How many times? I mean, I, I agree.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So. You know, I think Dante Moore is still in
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the conversation. I think Oregon is still pretty good. We'll
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: see how good Boise is. Boise, by the way, before Saturday,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't know this, they were 2-1 against Oregon. So
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: they were not intimidated going to Autzen Stadium like a
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: lot of teams are. And they just played. I thought
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: they played great. I thought they were one of the
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: teams of the weekend. I thought they played great.
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: I tell you what, that guy, Lucas Canaro.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Canaro the kicker. He impressed me last year.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Money again?
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: They don't play for the national championship. Yeah, they don't.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: They don't get that far.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Get close to the national championship.
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: They don't get that far in the playoffs.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: And he was money last night.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: He missed one, but when the game.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Was on the line.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: When the game was on the line at 48 yards,
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: he drilled it down the middle.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: He is a weapon.
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: He's a weapon. I watched only the last four minutes
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: of the game, which is the best watch. And I'm
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: sitting there after that last deal, and I go, snap
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: the ball. Because it was like they took forever to
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: snap the ball.
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: They did.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: I go, if I'm the kicker, I think he's the
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: right kicker. And you knew they didn't have any timeouts.
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: I was flipping back and forth between two boring games
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: in the first half.
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: Both boring in the first half.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: Both terrible.
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: And by the way, that all red. uniform that wisconsin
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: wore last.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Night no horrendous horrendous and that all blue notre dame
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: horrendous shiny yeah it was like it hurt my eyes
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: watching that game yeah the uniform the gold pants back
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: on yes yeah.
• 24:46
  Speaker 8: The shiny numerals and both of them in dark i.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Get you i hear you uh notre dame looked a
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: lot better in the second half for sure you know
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: they look that's a close game at the half it
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: was uh their secondary is really good which we do
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: we've seen them up close for two years now. They
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have lots of players. I didn't think C.J., speaking of
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore, C.J. Carr didn't have a Heisman kind of
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: game last night.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: He wasn't great.
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: I didn't watch a lot of the second half because
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: it became a blowout. I was so interested in the
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: Ole Miss Louisville game. That second half of that Ole
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Miss-Louisville game just reminded me of classic shootouts.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: Oh, it was fun.
• 25:26
  Speaker 14: Yeah.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was fun because two good quarterbacks.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: It took that quarterback a half to get going.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: But I'm telling you, he was really good in the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: second half. But as you mentioned, he had some help
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: because those receivers are running free.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: It's a big win. Early for the SEC because you
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: figure they're going to get four into the playoffs. So
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: you want to have Ole Miss. You're going to have
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: all your teams have a good resume. So when you
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: beat them. You know, I didn't even think of those terms,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: but you're right. That's huge because I think Louisville is
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: going to go on and beat some people. They are.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: I think they're pretty good. That's going to help the conference.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I think Jeff Brom is a pretty good coach. I do, too.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: I do, too. Because his team got better as the
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: game went on. Like I said, I just watched the
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: end of it. But that's good coaching. Elko's team got
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: better as the game went on. You know, it's the
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: first game. Well, we've talked before about Elko at halftime.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Elko has been brilliant at halftime, right? Yes, he has.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Most second halves since he's been here, they have been really,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: really good in adjusting in the second half.
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: Fixing what's wrong. What was wrong in the first half
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: was the offense and the offensive line. They come out
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: and they had it done.
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: It's the Writer's Roundtable for a Monday. By the way,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I met somebody.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Wednesday on campus that listens to us. I went, why
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: do you do that?
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: I always ask that.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I got to put a plug in today. It's

• 30:06
  Speaker 8: I said hello to the man who tried to win
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: your hand a long time ago.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: I tried to smile.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: As he talked about the day.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: We got Jimbo on.
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: Jimbo at Florida State.
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Jimbo's at Florida State. He looks rich. That's a nice
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: suit he's wearing. Florida State SMU.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: I got the ponies all over Florida State tonight. Man,
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I do, too, because Florida State, I didn't think they'd
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: put it all in.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: They didn't look very good. Talk about a coach that's
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: spinning his wheels, it seems that way. Yeah. That's another
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: place where they have high expectations, and do they have
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: all the weapons at their hands to be a top-ten
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: program anymore? You mentioned Baylor-Auburn. That was an ugly game, Rusty.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: That was a really ugly game.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: A really ugly game.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Auburn's not very good, and Baylor's not very good either.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: What did you think about going for two there? I
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: salute Baylor for going for two.
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if they execute, they win.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because... it was hurting people's eyes to
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: watch that game. And it was like, so we might
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: as well get it over with.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: I saw enough of that game to say like, wow,
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: I'm glad I'm not covering that game. Yes. Just boring. Uh, yeah,
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: it wasn't, it wasn't great for sure.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm online cause I wasn't watching the game where
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I was watching the LSU game. I was watching the Rangers, unfortunately,
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Saturday night and flipping around. Um, I missed my first
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: season opener in about 47 years, but I.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: Had good reason. It was a good excuse to do it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: So I'm watching, and so I'm on Twitter, and Twitter goes,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Michigan has just lost to Western Michigan. And it's just
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: one after another after another. They've just lost to Western Michigan.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: And I went, holy crud, they've lost to Western Michigan.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: What in the world?
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: And then I'm looking and my daughter texts me and
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: she's got, you know, robbed, you know, and I'm going.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: And then it starts coming up that, no, wait a minute.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: They got another play.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: And do you think anybody knew that there was a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: secret Big Ten clock in the Big Ten office that
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: kept the official score?
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: I mean, the official time?
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: No, I had no idea.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Have you ever heard of that? Never heard of that.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: I've heard of secret newsletters, but I've not heard of
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: secret plots.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Mike McKenzie's clock operator. Exactly. Ridiculous.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: Robbery, ridiculous.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just hate that for those guys.
• 32:47
  Speaker 11: I do too.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Well, where you live in a time is, and you're right,
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: I found out, I didn't watch any of the games,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: just the replays, but to know that, okay, the NFL,
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: they use the clock often. On TV, like what you watch,
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: but in the Big Ten, they have a different clock
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: than what's on TV. They have a different clock. Their
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: own clock. Which doesn't make any sense. It makes no sense.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: How many times do you see things come down to
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: one second or two seconds?
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: I would argue even, and they're showing it here as
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: we're talking about it, but even with their own clock,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: it was still zero. It was still zero. I've seen
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: all the pictures and all the stuff.
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: I have, too, and it's zero.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: You know, that's a brother of the A & M
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: soccer player. Trinity Buchanan, that's her brother made the catch. Oh, no,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: I didn't know that. Senior soccer player. It was a
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: great catch. Great catch. It was a great catch. Her
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: brother made the catch for the touchdown.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: But they don't have a quarterback. They play Oklahoma this week.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: It could get worse at Michigan. But I am a
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham fan because of his style. And he's just
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: a gritty, rushing, fundamental type guy. I don't think he
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a quarterback.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: Right now. He thought he did, but he doesn't.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: Uh, so it's going to take them a year or
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: two in this day and age. I don't know if
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you have a year or two with all these fan bases, but,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: but if they will be patient, I still think Kyle
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Whittingham is a heck.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Of a football coach. He, he, he, he may get
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: beat this next week. Uh, I'm interested. You're going to
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: give him a couple, even two, three years. I don't
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: think Michigan fires guys that quick. I hope not.
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: Uh, Yeah, I don't know because they could be in
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: for a long, long season. I mean, Michigan, that was
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: not very impressive.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: I didn't watch any of the games, so I can't
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: make a comment. I didn't either.
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, I just saw the score, but it's Western Michigan.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But losing to Western Michigan can't be bad. They should
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: be winning 50-0 like A & M did.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they got beat by Appalachian State one year.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Oh, I remember that. That's been a little while ago.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Oh, but so did Texas A & M, didn't it?
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, not so long ago. Maybe Lloyd Carr will
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: be on there a little bit with Jimbo. Lloyd Carr.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Maybe Bo will come back. But, yeah, they don't have
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: a quarterback. You don't have a quarterback, as we've said.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: You're in trouble.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: It was not a great weekend for the Big 12,
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: I didn't think. And I thought Tex Tech just kind
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: of looked mediocre.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to see that game.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to see that game. I just saw
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: a couple of highlights.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Oklahoma State just got whipped by Tulsa.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: I saw that score. That's not good.
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: I laughed.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: That's not good.
• 35:21
  Speaker 15: Wow.
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, that is really, really bad.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: BYU apparently kicked butt. Arizona State did. Arizona did.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: But Houston wasn't very impressive against Oregon State.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Houston was not very impressive. Their stats were great. I
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: watched enough of that game to have concerns about Houston. Yeah. Yeah.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: They should have won that game. I didn't think Wegman
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: looked that good. Much more easily.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I tell you what. They go to Lubbock, is
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: it a week from Saturday, I believe? They go to
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Lubbock a week from Saturday. So we'll know more about Houston,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: I think, then.
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Tex-Tex got Oregon State this weekend at Oregon State,
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: and then the next week they've got Houston in Lubbock.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: Yes. I'm with you, Chip. When you're Michigan or those teams,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: in today's world of college football with the NIL and
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: all the money, how can you not have a good quarterback?
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, everybody wants to be a starter, and you
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: should have your pick of the lot almost when you're
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: looking at the top, what, 48, 50, Division I players.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, good, powerful conference guys. If you're Michigan, you've
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: got to have a quarterback. I'm sorry.
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: I agree.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Totally. I mean, if you don't, that's bad. I didn't
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: get to watch Penn State under Matt Campbell. They won easily.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what else that I saw because
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I did watch lots of football games this weekend. I
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: tried to. There's just so many bad football matchups. It
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: wasn't a great weekend. I don't know, you know, I'm
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: looking at this weekend. Oklahoma and Michigan has the star power,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: but after what happened, you know, you wonder. But then
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: you also wonder, you know, it's a proud program with
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a good coach. I'm not sure that Oklahoma can just
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: waltz in and just cause Michigan to happen to what
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: that game was, waltz in and expect to come out
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: with a, 14 or 17-point win on Saturday.
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, Oklahoma's got a defensive travel. Oh,
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: I know they have a defense. You're right. They're going
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: to force turnovers wherever they play. You're right. They're just
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: too good.
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: I tell you, there are a couple of rivalry games
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: that aren't going to merit national attention, but Missouri and Kansas,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: they hate each other. Now, while they have played in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: basketball fairly regularly... They have not played regularly in football,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: and they hate each other. I don't know about Kansas.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: They played a nobody and won by 50, so I
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: don't know. Missouri played a nobody and won substantially. I
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: didn't see them play. Then Iowa State and Iowa play
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: this week. That's always a big early season, you know,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: rivalry kind of game.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: That's a good one. I don't know.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: How the quality of these games are going to be,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: but I do know the intensity of the games will
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: be there.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: To me, that's what you're looking for.
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: Well, all eyes are going to be in Austin.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: No doubt.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: I mean, Texas and Ohio State.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I think there is immense pressure on Sarkanyan to win
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: this football game. Do you really? I do.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Not– I'm not saying he's getting fired or any of
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: that if he doesn't win the football game. But he
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: hasn't beaten Ohio State, and he hasn't beaten Kirby. And
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: he keeps being reminded of that. And he's done fine.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: He's been to two semifinals, so let's not lose sight
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: But he didn't go last year.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: He didn't go last year. He lost a terrible game
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to Florida.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: He had a chance.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: In Columbus, but he still can't score within the 10-yard line.
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: In the red zone.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot more pressure on him
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: than there is on Ryan Day on Saturday.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: Well, Arch was terrible in that opener last year.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: He was. He was horrible.
• 39:23
  Speaker 8: And I expect him.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: To be good this week.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: He will be better.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: He was pretty good on Saturday, but again, it's hard.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to tell against Texas State.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Texas State's pretty good, too. Yeah, and that's what everybody said.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: And I did like the quarterback.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: He had 2,000-yard receivers. I thought the defense gave up
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: some between the 20s, but they got turnovers. They turned
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: it over. They had a score. And that's Muschamp. He's
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: going to be aggressive. And that's all he preaches is turnovers.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: And what did they hold him to? I don't know
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: what was the final score. They scored seven points. Texas
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: State scored?
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: It was 51-7 or something like that.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: 59-7 maybe. 59-7. I think you're right, Chip, because I
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: think the pressures on Texas– And Sarkeesian, because if you
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: lose that game, you lost at home.
• 40:14
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: Tougher to get back to the college football playoff. There's
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: no doubt. And you don't want to start the year
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: with a loss. Ohio State. Already just recently won the
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: national championship. They're on the road, so they'll get credit
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: even if they lose from being on the road.
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, they beat Texas on the way to
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: winning that national championship.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: And that's an early Heisman kind of elimination. It's an
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: early Heisman deal. I think Texas almost has to win
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: this game. Have you seen the spread on that game?
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: I haven't seen the spread on that one. Would you
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: check for a stand and see what the spread on
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: that game is? I don't know. I'm going to guess
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: it's right. Close to even. Which game? Ohio State, Texas.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: I only bet $ 1, 000 a time.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: And just take $ 1, 000.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: That's dinero.
• 41:00
  Speaker 8: Spread is Texas at minus.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: One and a half.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: Minus one and a half. That's about what I'd think.
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: About a toss-up game.
• 41:09
  Speaker 8: I don't necessarily think this is a must-win for Texas.
• 41:12
  Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's an important game for them.
• 41:16
  Speaker 8: I don't know if they have.
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: To win this game, though, because.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: I think the quality of the opponent, obviously.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: Well, you think at plays.
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: It didn't hurt them last year. What hurt them was
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: losing to Florida. True, true, true.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: But I would argue that if they were.
• 41:33
  Speaker 8: Takes the margin there, yeah.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but if they were 10-2 and not 9-3, they
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: would have gone no matter who they won or lost to.
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, had they beat Ohio.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: State, yeah.
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah.
• 41:45
  Speaker 8: And so, yeah, it could be a very important win
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: for them, but I'm also not saying that that's vital
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: for them.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to watch because I think they're pretty good,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: but you always have to wade through the hype with them, right?
• 41:59
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: And we'll see how good Texas State is. They made
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: them look really terrible. They're supposed to win like that
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: because it's Texas State and the University of Texas.
• 42:11
  Speaker 13: Right.
• 42:11
  Speaker 4: They're supposed to do that.
• 42:13
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm excited because I'm going to watch that whole
• 42:15
  Speaker 8: game because A & M will be done.
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: They'll be finished.
• 42:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: There won't be another game that I'm really interested in.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: I'm kind of interested in Utah and Arkansas.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Interesting.
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Really?
• 42:25
  Speaker 8: I didn't know where they play that game. They're playing
• 42:27
  Speaker 8: that game in Utah. That's a late game. It's like
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: a 9 o'clock game. What did Arkansas do, by the way?
• 42:32
  Speaker 8: They weren't very good, right? They weren't that impressive.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: No, they were not.
• 42:35
  Speaker 8: And so I think that they're, man, Arkansas is just Arkansas, right?
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: Right now they are.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're among the last two teams
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: you look at when you're looking at the, you know, CeCe,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: you had me pick the list.
• 42:50
  Speaker 4: Arkansas or Kentucky. That's who I had on the bottom.
• 42:52
  Speaker 15: Really?
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: Arkansas or Kentucky? Arkansas or Kentucky. That's who I put
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: on the bottom. Okay.
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, it's going to be interesting, obviously, because.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: I have Vanderbilt falling a little bit just because of
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: the quarterbacks.
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the quarterbacks are doing.
• 43:05
  Speaker 8: They beat Austin Peay 28-9, which was.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: Not real impressive. That's not great.
• 43:10
  Speaker 8: And then Arkansas ended up beating who'd they play? I'm
• 43:17
  Speaker 8: looking right at it.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: Who'd Arkansas play? North Alabama, 31-14.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: That's not good. That doesn't sound good.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: They're at Utah, did you say, Rusty? Yeah, at Utah. Okay,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Utah won easily this week, I know. Yeah, and Utah's
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: ranked top 25. Yes, they are.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: And so they are one of the better teams, I think,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: in the Big 12.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. BYU. Top four, probably, right now. Oh, yeah.
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: And maybe Arizona State.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: I do know Oklahoma State is not one of the.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Better teams in the Big 12. I would agree with
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: you right there.
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: And they play Oregon this week.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: At home. They're hosting Oregon. Yeah.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: I think LSU wins it.
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: I don't know. No, I'm kidding.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: No, you're kidding.
• 43:57
  Speaker 8: I think Oregon has to bounce back, and I think
• 44:01
  Speaker 8: it's a big game.
• 44:01
  Speaker 4: For Dante Moore. And again, we don't know. It's the
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: first week, so we need more data.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Because I think Boise State looked pretty dang good on Saturday.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: I think Louisville looked pretty dang good last night. But
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: time will tell these things, right? I think A &
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: M looked pretty dang good Saturday.
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: But you wonder about Ole Miss' defense.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: I do. Big time. Big time. Yeah. Because that's who
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: they are.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: I've got to tell you, if Ke'wan Lacy's out at
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: any point, they.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: Said thigh bruise. That guy is a Heisman caliber guy.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: He's a man among boys. He's the best running back
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: in the country.
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: Did you see how much money they spent advertising in
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: Las Vegas and New York City?
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Three quarters of a million. They were at Times Square
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: and they were on the Sphere. But I will argue
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: that Sphere thing went viral. And I think that that
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: was brilliant. Because they got their money's worth in terms
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: of advertising return dollars.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: I promise you.
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right.
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: Because it went, and it was cool looking, too. It
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: was cool looking. It was cool. So you saw it, too, right?
• 45:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, anything in that sphere is cool looking.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: I thought that was brilliant marketing. You get three-quarters of
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: a million people to look at it? I mean, I
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: thought it was brilliant.
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: The coolest thing was when they had the Rangers after
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: they won the World Series. Now, that was cool.
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: The sphere?
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was really cool.
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: I need a picture of that.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll find a picture.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Do you have that? I need to get that framed.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: You guys need to sell top of this building.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: And the longer we get away from that, the more
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I'm going to look at that picture.
• 45:35
  Speaker 4: Me too.
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: I'm still sporting my cup, bro.
• 45:38

• 45:44
  Speaker 14: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 45:46
  Speaker 14: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 45:48
  Speaker 14: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.

• 46:00
  Speaker 14: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 46:03
  Speaker 14: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
• 46:05
  Speaker 14: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.

  Speaker 11: The Rangers and Rays had a wild affair yesterday in
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: the final game of the four-game set. Tampa Bay quickly
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: jumped out to a 4-0 lead with a four spot
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: in the second. Texas would get one back with a
• 47:02
  Speaker 11: solo homer by Jake Berger, but the big inning came
• 47:05
  Speaker 11: in the bottom of the fourth when Texas scored four,
• 47:07
  Speaker 11: including Berger's second homer of the night.
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: Seymour, the high set, the kick, and the pitch. And
• 47:12
  Speaker 10: there's a drive deep out into left center. Did you,
• 47:15
  Speaker 10: Jake Berger? Yes, you did. He hits the back wall
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: in the Tampa Bay bullpen. Two ABs, two home runs.
• 47:25
  Speaker 10: This with a man on. It's now 5-3. Rangers back
• 47:29
  Speaker 10: to within a couple.
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: Justin Foskey would follow it up with a 2-RBI double
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: to tie the game. Texas played two more in the
• 47:35
  Speaker 11: 5th and one in the 8th for an 8-6 victory.
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: The team is off today before taking on the Mariners
• 47:40

  Speaker 1: Robert Cessna, Rusty Burson brought to you by in tech
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: and first financial bank every Monday. We finally have games
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: to talk about. We have one more for this weekend. Not,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: as we mentioned, it's not a great weekend upcoming. It
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: would have been a great weekend upcoming, in my opinion,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: had Michigan been able to beat Western Michigan.
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: By a lot.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: Or just actually beat them, period. actually beat them without
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: help from the league. Probably would– I mean, those are
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: two of the top five or six programs in college
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: football history.
• 49:31
  Speaker 8: I'm going to watch Kansas-Missouri on Friday night.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: It's Friday night? Oh, good.
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I'm glad.
• 49:37
  Speaker 8: I mean, because that's at Kansas and, I mean, Missouri.
• 49:40
  Speaker 8: I want to see Missouri because I thought they looked
• 49:42
  Speaker 8: pretty good.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to see them. They weren't playing anybody.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: I didn't get to see that game.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I want to see how good they are.
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Like I said, they– hate each other, and that goes
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: back to the Civil War. That goes back a ways.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: There is a deep-seated hatred between these two fan bases.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Eli's a Kiffin wannabe. He just doesn't have the success
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: of the team that he did. He's funny. He's a
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: great quote. He's a great quote.
• 50:10
  Speaker 16: Go ahead.
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: You mentioned coaches.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I thought Lance Leipold did a fantastic job rebuilding that
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: Kansas program. They were relevant for a while, and they
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: were pretty good. And they've kind of fallen off now.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: His name was mentioned. You're right.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: He was mentioned to move up the ranks, and he said, no,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I'm staying here. And you're going, well, okay, because it
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: looks like he's building something. His quarterback got hurt two
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: years ago. Daniels, he was building everything, and then Last
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: year just wasn't very good, you know, coming off the injury.
• 50:48
  Speaker 8: I also kind of am interested in Kentucky hosting Alabama
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: because I don't think, like you said, Kentucky's real good.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: We didn't talk about Alabama.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: But I don't know about Alabama either.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: True. I saw a few plays. I saw a few plays, too, Cease.
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: One impressed.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Freshman quarterback. Apparently got better as the game went on.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: I was just flipping, so I didn't see.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: A lot of that. I know they have.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Talent, because they're Alabama. A lot of it is young.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: The quarterback's a freshman. But again, from what I read,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: he improved as the game went on.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I just have no opinion on who Alabama is.
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know either. I don't know who Kentucky is.
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: I don't think they're going to be very good.
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: I'm interested in Kentucky because that's the SEC opener for
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: A & M.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: Plus the coach made quite a splash. Yeah, if they're good,
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: they're good because of him. Yeah, that's what he said. Exactly.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: I like it. You like somebody like that. I like that.
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: Back it up? Yeah. Well, Cignetti backed it up, right?
• 51:54
  Speaker 4: Without a doubt. Did you watch any of Indiana?
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: I watched a little bit of North Texas and Indiana.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too. I thought North Texas played pretty well.
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: I thought they hung around for a while.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: They did hang around. I thought they played pretty well.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: I thought they were pretty gutsy.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: They were. Cignetti has a lot he can yell at
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: him about this week.
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: Oh, yeah.
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: Right, which he loves.
• 52:16
  Speaker 8: I really like some of the Cignetti commercials that are
• 52:19
  Speaker 8: out there.
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: I love the State Farm commercial. That is real.
• 52:22
  Speaker 9: Smile, Coach.
• 52:23
  Speaker 8: I have a smile. He goes, I am literally so excited.
• 52:27
  Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah.
• 52:29
  Speaker 8: And it's like, you know, deadpan.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: He goes, I can't really tell, Coach.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: So that's the other thing you get when you watch
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: all day. You get the new commercials. You got the
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, Dr.
• 52:38
  Speaker 13: Pepper.
• 52:38
  Speaker 8: Well, I love the fact that he's having fun.
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: With it, right?
• 52:40
  Speaker 11: Exactly.
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and Lane Kiffin with the lanes and all that.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Illegal lane change. I like that. Put the window up.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Put the window up.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: So because of the Cignetti commercial on.
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: You change insurance.
• 52:55
  Speaker 13: No.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: Making rounds is the old Tom Landry American Express commercial.
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: 1982.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: And I just about fell off my couch and I
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: bet all America did when they saw Tom Landry in
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: that floor-length duster with the cowboy hat, walk into that bar,
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: and do that American Express commercial.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: There was just nothing like that. That's awesome.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: I didn't see that one.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: You need to pull it up. I remember it.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: It's like American Express comes in handy when you're surrounded
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: by redskins, and all of the team have their uniforms
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: on right in the bar, and he's just as dry
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: as he could be, just like Signetti, and.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: You're going, That's Tom Landry. Is that Tom Landry? One
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: of my favorite commercials is back with the spin is,
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: what day is it? What day is it? The camel.
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: I love that commercial. I laugh every time it comes on.
• 53:56
  Speaker 8: My wife and I were commenting, how many insurance commercials
• 53:59
  Speaker 8: are there?
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: There's a lot. Oh, my gosh. You've got to have insurance.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: You have to have insurance. There's a lot. I hope
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: Dabo's got insurance. He doesn't need it. Firing insurance. He
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: has a $ 53 million buyout.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Oh, oh.
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: We just saw Jimbo on the TV. He doesn't need it.
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: He's doing fine.
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: I like the Mayhem commercials.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: I love Mayhem. They're all good, but that's in my
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: top three. I just chuckle every time I see that camel.
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: I just love it. Now they've got Chris Hollick. Come on, Mike.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: What day is it, Mike? What day is it? And
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Mike Tirico. Yeah. What day is it, Mike?
• 54:33
  Speaker 8: I love it.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: Great. Yes. Yes. It doesn't make much to make me happy.
• 54:39
  Speaker 8: This is the information we bring to you.
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: This is what we try to do every week. I
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: put it up there with, where's the beef? Where's the beef?
• 54:47
  Speaker 8: That's going way back. You and I are the only
• 54:53
  Speaker 8: ones young enough to remember.
• 54:55
  Speaker 4: You remember Clara Peller? I remember her name.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what I had for lunch, but I
• 55:01
