  Speaker 3: Taylor, put it on the poll, please. That's Stugatz798x.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Do you have to pull the plug on the fireworks
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: show if you lose at home as a 30-point favorite?
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Rutgers last night loses at home to UMass. UMass got
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: paid over a million dollars for that game. Rutgers had
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: a firework show planned, scheduled after the game because, of course,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: they thought they were going to win. They were favored
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: by 30 points over UMass. They lose the game and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: still go forward with a firework show.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: See, if that's me and I'm taking my kid, I'm
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: not selling him on going to see Rutgers football. I'm like, hey,
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: do you want to go see some fireworks? But we
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: just have to watch this football game beforehand. So I
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: don't think you cancel the fireworks. I think that's why
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: everybody was there.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: So the fireworks are the main attraction is what you're
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: saying for some.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, for some. Yes.
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: Rutgers-UMass game was the warm-up act.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: My two biggest observations from yesterday's games. Yes. I've never
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: been more sure that Deion Sanders is going to be
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: the next Florida State coach. We're just trending towards that direction.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: It was impressive how good Colorado looked in the trenches,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: where Georgia Tech is normally a team that prides themselves
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: in that. And for the most part, Colorado was the
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: ones pushing them around. Like Georgia Tech scored their one
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: touchdown off a kick return. And then the other option
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: from Rutgers-UMass... We have never needed promotion and relegation more
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: in college football because there is no reason why Rutgers
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: should be playing Big Ten football.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: UMass should. Yeah, Pop Watson. Pop Watson.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Pop Watson transfers in from Virginia Tech, and that's kind
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: of what I love about the transfer portal, where a
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: team like UMass... spends years without beating an FBS opponent,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden they have access to
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: a quarterback from Virginia Tech, Pop Watson, who he was
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: okay at Virginia Tech. He was nothing special. But against Rutgers,
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: you don't really need him to be special. You just
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: need him to be a competent quarterback.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So let's just be clear on what it is you're saying.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Rutgers does not deserve to be in the Big 20?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: Correct.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Mike.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: He looked at the UMass roster and went, I'm going
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: there and I'm going to be their Superman.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: By the way, is it Brent Key? Is that the
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: head coach at Georgia Tech? Is that his name?
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll be there for eternity.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Willie?
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, because he has a strut that I'm not
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: certain has been earned. I mean, he struts around like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a coach, like he's the best coach in America.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: I love him.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: He looks like a football coach. But I'm not certain
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he has earned the right to strut around the way
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that he does. And I am not certain that he
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: has earned the right for Taylor to say that he'll
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: be at Georgia Tech forever.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: I mean... I think he lost his chance.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: I think if he was going to leave Georgia Tech
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: last offseason with all those job openings and he was
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: one of the sexy names getting thrown out, the fact
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: that he didn't and then comes out and loses to
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: Colorado at home, you might have missed.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Your window there, buddy.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: He's a Georgia Tech alum, and Georgia Tech is a
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: program in the ACC. They don't have national title expectations.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: They don't have double-digit win expectations. This isn't the time
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: when Georgia Tech was running the triple option and dominating
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the college football world. If Georgia Tech wins seven, eight
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: games a year and they're good for one upset every season,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Brent Key's got a job for life there.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Perhaps. Put that on the poll. You wait around for football.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, you just wait and you wait and you wait.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: And then finally you get Georgia Tech.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: You get Colorado. It's on a Thursday night. You're sitting there.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: You're watching the game with your daughter.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: And she turns to you at some point in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: third quarter and says, Dad, this is really boring.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: And you have no answer. Hard to disagree.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: This is what I hate, though, because, yes, the game
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: was boring. Yes, I might have fallen asleep for parts
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: of the game. But then you wake up and you're saying, wait.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: This game is still within striking distance. This score hasn't
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: changed since the last time my eyes were open. And
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: then they're lining up for the kick. Captain's their kicker.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: They just need a... Field goal to win the game.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: This is going to be his third walk-off field goal
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: at Georgia Tech. And we get a Colorado block field
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: goal to.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: End the game. Put it on the polls. Should the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: kicker ever be your captain?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: It's a bad sign for.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: Our team, yeah.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: No, that's a bad look.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're looking for leadership in the kicker's room.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Unless you got, like, a grammatica out there. That's the
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: only exception I'll make for a kicker being a captain.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Right. Bear is going to join us here in a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: few minutes.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: He'll get us ready for a college football week one
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: here with his picks, the NFL as well. Field Yates
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is going to join us. Gino Toretta is going to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: join us as well in.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Hour number two.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about Labor Day weekend? Sad weekend?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Fun weekend?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: A little bit of both?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Because for me, it's the end of the summer, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that makes me sad. Most people sad. But it's also
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: the start of football season.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It's a bittersweet holiday weekend, is it not?
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't put it up there with Memorial Day
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: weekend or July 4th weekend, but the fact that It means, okay,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: we're getting to football now.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: It's here.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I'm in.
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: I'm in.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I think it's about where you're at in life. For you,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: kids back to school, you get football. You don't care
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: about the summer. You hate the beach. You hate the sand.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: You hate the sun.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: I hate everything. Except football. But football. What a weekend
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: Getting to Labor Day weekend is a win for me
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: just because you're getting to college football. You're getting to
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the NFL. And then, Stu, we're in South Florida. We're
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: saying goodbye to weather that's like 110 degrees and saying
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: hello to weather that's like 85 degrees. That's a win
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: It won't be 85 down here for another five months.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: Just in time for it to go back to 110.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Taylor, are you making a trip this weekend? Where are
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: you going this weekend?
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: I'm considering doing a drive to Baton Rouge, but it's
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: like a 12-hour drive.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: The tickets are reasonable. The drive is the unreasonable part.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It's hard to get to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Up on a bird.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: No, it's very hard to get to from here, I think, yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: And you would have to fly to New Orleans and
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: then rent a car and drive from New Orleans to
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Baton Rouge. And at this point, Mikey, I've missed the
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: window where flights were in my budget.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Not a bad drive. 12 hours.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: That's just 12 hours of me listening to a lot
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: of sports podcasts, really.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: You turned down a free trip to Dublin, Ireland to
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: see North Carolina play, and that was on a bird.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: But you are willing to drive to Baton Rouge to
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: see LSU and Clemson, huh?
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: I hate international football. It's the same game every year.
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: It's terrible football. I don't care if it's my alma mater.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: I would rather go see football in SEC country and
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: be rubbing elbows with the folks in Baton Rouge.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Go Tigers!
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I figured no one loves international football more than you.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: You're 1-0 playing international football.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: People are going to retire that way too.

• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Mikey A., what's your Saturday going to look like? We're
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: headed into Labor Day weekend, a full slate of college football.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: College game day is on the air. I mean, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: big noon kickoff is on. It is all happening. What
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: is Mikey A. 's Saturday going to look like?
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: I'm going to have both college game day and big
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: noon kickoff on on the two TVs in the morning.
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: I'll probably take a little bit of a break in
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: the midday and then it's just going to it's just
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: going to be nonstop college football.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Special day right up until midnight because I maintain that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: the college football season does not start until Hawaii has
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a home game at midnight Eastern and they do this weekend.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They are taking on Dan Mullen and his Elvis impersonator
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and the UNLV running rebels.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: That is a beauty.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Because if you're up a lot of money, you double down,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you take Hawaii. If you're down a lot of money,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you double down, you take Hawaii. But you always take Hawaii.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll, Taylor. Do you always take Hawaii?
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Small spread in that one. I think it's three.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I think it's four, actually. Wow. Yeah, yeah. I think
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Hawaii's getting four. Getting four points at home. It's a gift.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Let's update the polls here uh we wrap up the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: week uh every week uh by updating the polls here
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: actually got 790 on x uh taylor what do you have.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: For us when you think of elvis which city do
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: you think.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Of memphis easy it's wrong the two choices i don't
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: care what the polls were.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Memphis and las vegas 66 of the audience.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: Memphis yes 66% of the audience is wrong.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Big one here.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Did Carolina win or did TCU lose?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: You know what? I've been thinking about this all week.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And I think Carolina went out and won that football game.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: 87% of the audience said yes.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Really? That's what I voted. Congratulations, Taylor, on a bye week.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: We might have lost a bye week, though, if you
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: saw the reports that came out yesterday.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: What? Lombardi?
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: What happened? You didn't lose the bye week. You just
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: lost the GM.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: There was a defensive coordinator. There's sex. There's drugs.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, Jesus. Not good. Not good.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Didn't I say earlier this week that what Pablo Torre
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is about to find out is that Bill Belichick always
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: has the last laugh?
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Speaking of that poll, does Bill Belichick always have the
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: last laugh despite never laughing?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: 75% of the audience said yes.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: This is a big one from Stu. Does Stanford have
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: all the ingredients to be a great college football program
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: except for the players?
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Yep, it'll be on display tonight, full display.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, beautiful stadium, great crowd, beautiful area of the country,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: just no players.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Every time you mention Stanford football, you mention Andrew Lux there,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: like he's getting under center.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Listen, who knows? He finds the right judge. He might be.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: He could now. He could now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: 76% of the audience says yes, Stanford does have all
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: the ingredients.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: I would say Carolina as well. They would be in
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that conversation.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: As the school that has all the ingredients except the players,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Carolina would certainly be.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: There, right?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: It's like the Sleeping Giants conversation because Northwestern probably checks
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: a lot of those boxes too, like Major City.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: No doubt.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: The donors.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I told Mikey earlier during Studio Gots, Northwestern, one
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: of my picks.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Spoiler alert.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: That Northwestern, a sneaky good team coming out of the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Big Ten this year.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: Would you want a Harvard quarterback to be your quarterback?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Hell no. My doctor, maybe.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: 70% of the audience said no.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: Crazy.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: Big one here for Mel Kuyper. Are you done with
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the sun?
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Mel Kuyper said to us this week, we love him.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: He's on the Mount Rushmore of guests here. that he
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: is done with the sun. I responded, yeah, but the
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: sun looks good on you, man. Mel looked good. He
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: looked refreshed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: What were the results here?
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: 62% of the audience said yes, they're done with the sun.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I can't stand it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of Stu Gatz and
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Company live weekdays at 3 p.m. Eastern, 12 p.m. Pacific.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Did Jeter have enough room to pull up before diving
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: into the stands?
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, this is courtesy of Bob Ryan. Big for Bob Ryan.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: In his Twitter feed, he just.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Started blasting out random thoughts 22 hours apart about Derek
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Jeter's catch where he leapt.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Into the stands.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: 71% of the audience said, yep, Jeter, a little bit theatric.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Big win for Bob.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: This one is courtesy of Charles Huff, the Memphis coach
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: who joined us this week.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Yes, we're supposed to go there. Call play.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: Does everyone love an ice cream truck?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Who doesn't?
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, come on. 18% of the audience, because 82%
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: of the audience said yes.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so 18. I mean, get a life.
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: A couple more here. If you had $ 3. 9 billion, would
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: you spend it on the Angels?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: 85% of the audience said no.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: But why am I presenting it as if all you
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: had was $ 3. 9 billion and that's it? Because if you
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: have $ 3. 9 billion, it stands to reason you have a
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: lot more.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: This one might be the record this week. Do we
• 13:41
