[SPEAKER_03]: We have our preview guide Jake Dunn.
0:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome, guys.
0:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Inter case part of our picks competition, Jake joined the crew just a little too late to join it, but he will, I'm sure going forward in fact he joined our major league baseball picks competition, he is part of that, but here's how we do it, every game, 10 games every week plus one bonus game, which is Illinois State, by the way, the cup is just one, wow, the more a team is favored, the fewer that team is worth.
1:04
[SPEAKER_03]: So you get more points for being bolder and last week's results, first place, Greg Mingo, how about that everybody?
1:15
[SPEAKER_03]: 31 points for Greg, 30 for Grant Shows who has once filled in on this program and is in one of our IU guys.
1:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Sam Frick from Fort Wayne, ANEC Sports 28 points, Ryan Robinson 27,
1:30
[SPEAKER_03]: Mike Rich and Zach Carter 24 will run for 22 and down, down, down, down.
1:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric Robin used to, well, I mean, he said my name yet.
1:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric Robinson 14.
1:41
[SPEAKER_03]: But Kevin Hellfreak scored 11, so you weren't in the base.
1:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I need you to inform that fall in the standings.
1:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's how it is through five weeks.
1:50
[SPEAKER_03]: For the first time, Eric is not your leader.
1:53
[SPEAKER_03]: It is Ryan Robinson who takes the lead with 146 points tied with Grant Shouse.
1:59
[SPEAKER_03]: They both have 146 through five weeks.
2:00
[SPEAKER_03]: I have 139, then Eric 135, so you're still in it, Eric.
2:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I know, I'm gonna make a comeback.
2:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Every week we put Eric and Ryan up against the local media Elijah Poe of the Ball State Daily News and our indie car guy, 129 will rather have heard of strictly bias with Will, Rutherford, 129, Kate Hampton of the Months, you star press, 126, Mike Rich, our childhood friend, Eric is 123, he's our Pacers guy, Jeremy GIGG of White River
2:41
[SPEAKER_03]: and Sam Frick, both have 119 Daniel Bragg of Bragg Sports Media 118 Michelle Garmin of the Tipton Tribune and Elwood Call Leader and Jay Stevens of the Cogamo Post, both have 117 of Calvin Hellfrick of the Action Sports Network as 116.
3:00
[SPEAKER_03]: So really there's only a 30 point difference between the top and the bottom, anybody is really still in this.
3:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I think maybe we could do something to consider as do like a double, a double, we can bet double on one game.
3:19
[SPEAKER_02]: We could double a point, maybe make it interesting.
3:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Come and get a little bit interesting.
3:23
[SPEAKER_03]: It would be a good thing for the first year.
3:25
[SPEAKER_03]: I tried to make it as simple as possible, though.
3:28
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't, I didn't come up with this idea when I was in first place.
3:31
[SPEAKER_02]: But now that I'm in four.
3:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Here we go.
3:40
[SPEAKER_03]: We have three local games this week.
3:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Two of them at noon one at three thirty I'll start with the two noon games and on big ten network and I guess Eric we should start with Jake on this one.
3:53
[SPEAKER_03]: But we have three and one Illinois at two and two Purdue.
3:57
[SPEAKER_03]: I have Illinois where three points Purdue worth seven.
4:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Jake and I are going to talk about this
4:07
[SPEAKER_03]: The podcast was earlier today, but he and I are going to talk later tonight about this game.
4:13
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you want to hear more about it, tune in for that.
4:17
[SPEAKER_03]: Jake, your prediction on Illinois at Purdue.
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: My heart says Purdue when my head goes Illinois and I'm going to fall my head on this when I think Illinois.
4:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They are coming off in emotional when, verse USC, some hopefully they'll
4:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think producers just didn't have enough talent to really keep up with Illinois.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So I know their secondary has been got a little bit, probably going to be a lot of yards in the passing game in this game.
4:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Illinois is going to win this one by the score.
4:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to take Illinois to I mentioned a few weeks ago.
4:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think Purdue will win another game.
4:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm going to be proven wrong on that and I'm not being a Purdue hater.
5:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Purdue's playing way better than I thought they would.
5:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they have another winner to coming, but I don't think it's going to be this
5:07
[SPEAKER_02]: Illinois.
5:09
[SPEAKER_03]: Because it's more than double the points I am tempted to take Purdue, but I'm not going to.
5:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this Illinois team's pretty good a solid top 25 team and produce not quite to that level yet.
5:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe later in the year.
5:26
[SPEAKER_03]: Also on noon on CBS Sports Network, we have three and two Ohio at one in three
5:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I have Ohio where three points on the road in Muncie can the Cardinals pull off the upset.
5:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think I'm taking Ohio all day.
5:47
[SPEAKER_02]: I happen to watch some of the Ball State Connecticut game and man, I ball State offense is so bad.
5:54
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ohio, easy pick for me.
6:00
[SPEAKER_01]: This one's pretty easy to pick.
6:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Ohio's best for us for he gets Ball State to air expoence, it's just pretty bad.
6:07
[SPEAKER_01]: probably one of the worst if not the worst team in college football.
6:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So Ohio is going to win this one pretty easy.
6:14
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Ohio is going to win too.
6:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it's going to be as easy as you think.
6:18
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it goes more than double digits.
6:21
[SPEAKER_03]: But I'm still thinking Ohio.
6:24
[SPEAKER_03]: In 330 on NBC, it's Eric and Ryan's inviting Irish coming off a big win at Arkansas.
6:32
[SPEAKER_03]: It was
6:34
[SPEAKER_03]: And Eric, I hate to point out that you took Arkansas, and I tried to tell you how wrong you were, but you did.
6:40
[SPEAKER_02]: You tried talking, talking me out of it.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: I did.
6:43
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and he would have thought that game would be not where coach killers.
6:48
[SPEAKER_02]: So that outcome was so one-sided, they fire their coach.
6:55
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how wrong it was last week.
6:57
[SPEAKER_02]: I was so wrong on so many games.
6:59
[SPEAKER_02]: It's
7:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I think offensively, man, we are just in tune.
7:09
[SPEAKER_02]: And finally, they're running the football.
7:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And to me, CJ Carler looks like one the best quarterbacks playing right now.
7:16
[SPEAKER_02]: The last couple of weeks, he's looked so comfortable back there running the offense.
7:21
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really impressed with him, but I think we just pound the ball again.
7:28
[SPEAKER_02]: CJ Carler stays efficient.
7:31
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Notre Dame wins easily this week.
7:34
[SPEAKER_03]: I didn't mention, I may have mentioned it's $3.30 on NBC, Notre Dame hosting Boisey State Eric, even with Boisey State worth seven points, you're taking the Irish Boisey State is three and one coming off some wins, not one of their best teams, right?
7:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I think the talent level is just a little bit down than what we're used to seeing from Boisey State.
7:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I said last week that Notre Dame is not going to look past anybody because they have to win every game the rest of the year.
8:03
[SPEAKER_03]: This win is a sneaky one.
8:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Boys, he states, well coached, and that they could get hot.
8:08
[SPEAKER_03]: So I like Notre Dame as well.
8:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to pick Notre Dame to win this game, but I'm not that comfortable about it.
8:15
[SPEAKER_02]: I get what you're saying, but we've already lost our home game.
8:18
[SPEAKER_02]: We always lose a home game.
8:20
[SPEAKER_02]: We already lost the day, man.
8:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we know, I was caused some urgency from Notre Dame finally that we didn't see in the first couple games.
8:30
[SPEAKER_02]: I just really like where we're at.
8:32
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they just look like steamroller on offense and they're going to have to be because their defense is average.
8:41
[SPEAKER_02]: When we can run the football as well as we've been running it, we're going to be hard to be because.
8:47
[SPEAKER_02]: CJ cars playing so good and efficient when we have to throw the football, I just how balanced we are on offense.
8:56
[SPEAKER_03]: And Eric, they can't afford to have a game that is seen as a let down game a loss, even if they win a game, they can win a game that the media will see as a loss.
9:07
[SPEAKER_03]: And with two losses, you have to be impressive pretty much the rest of the year to get in the playoffs.
9:15
[SPEAKER_02]: a handful of opportunities to have some really bad wins, like Boston College and went by one or you only beat pit by three points.
9:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Those are going to look terrible on the resume.
9:27
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's kind of a unique to cause football that the final score matters.
9:32
[SPEAKER_03]: It just does.
9:33
[SPEAKER_03]: It does.
9:33
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're going to need to be pretty dominant.
9:36
[SPEAKER_03]: Jake, your thoughts on Boisie State of Notre Dame.
9:40
[SPEAKER_01]: The talent at Boisie State's down a little bit from what we're
9:44
[SPEAKER_01]: You just see him like Eric said.
9:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm not taking that or Dame here.
9:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They've Eric also pointed out that they've lost their home game for the year.
9:51
[SPEAKER_01]: They know that they need to win every game from here on out.
9:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like Marcus Freeman as a coach.
9:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think he's got their heads on straight.
9:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to go another Dame as well.
10:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Noon on CBS is one in three Air Force at four and oh Navy I have Air Force worth six points Navy worth four trivia question.
10:24
[SPEAKER_03]: What percentage of the Navy roster is made up of Marine Corps commitments?
10:29
[SPEAKER_03]: 47 percent.
10:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, 46.
10:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Am I, are you kidding?
10:35
[SPEAKER_03]: No, 47 percent.
10:37
[SPEAKER_03]: My uncle who's an army grad west point grad guess 10% because that's what the percentage of actual officers are in the naval academy as 10% of Marines But 46% of the football team is made up of Marines I just wanted to point that as out is a Marine yeah, that's cool Six point for Air Force four points for Navy it looks like Navy might be fairly legit I'm gonna take the Marine core on this one
11:07
[SPEAKER_02]: all the way.
11:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that program.
11:11
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, Notre Dame, we always play Navey, so I'm very familiar with the history and the program and the variety games with Notre Dame and Navey, tonnery effects for that program.
11:23
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'd love when they do well.
11:26
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm really happy for them.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I completely agree with Eric.
11:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with maybe I got a lot of respects to them as a program and just our troops in general got a lot of respects for them.
11:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to go with Navy on this one.
11:39
[SPEAKER_03]: We respect Air Force 2, but they fight war from afar.
11:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm taking Navy.
11:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, noon on ESPN2, it's a good one in the big 12.
11:52
[SPEAKER_03]: 5 and 0 Iowa State at 3 and 1 Cincinnati.
11:56
[SPEAKER_03]: I have both teams worth 5 points.
11:59
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm taking Iowa State on the road.
12:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't try to overthink this one.
12:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'd I was state second or third in the big 12 iron can to state I like their quarterback.
12:12
[SPEAKER_02]: This is this is a toss-up game, but I'm taking I was state on the road I'm in a career.
12:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a huge believer in Cincinnati and I think I would say it's a really good team.
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I would say it's a done on the road in Cincinnati.
12:32
[SPEAKER_03]: This is one of those Saturday noon games where an unbeaten team goes and loses a game it probably shouldn't.
12:40
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take Cincinnati at home.
12:42
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's not a bad pick.
12:46
[SPEAKER_03]: Three games at three 30 in our competition here.
12:49
[SPEAKER_03]: Three 30 on ABC.
12:51
[SPEAKER_03]: It's unbeaten Vanderbilt at three in one Alabama.
12:56
[SPEAKER_03]: Still have Vanderbilt work seven Alabama work three is that enough to tempt you?
13:02
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, it is, but, man, I just keep thinking back the last year with Bama losing at Vanderbilt.
13:13
[SPEAKER_02]: Bama's coming off that win versus George, and that tempts me more than the seven to three score you're giving it, um, I think Bama's got too much.
13:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Bama's really good, and I think they remember
13:31
[SPEAKER_02]: but that that Vanderbilt team for really get that quarterback's playing out of his mind.
13:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Diego Pavia is really good.
13:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He's playing really well to your point, Eric.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was pretty close to pick and Vanderbilt, but I'm going to go with Alabama here.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: The seven points was pretty, was pretty enticing.
13:48
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm going to stick to my gut here and go Alabama.
13:52
[SPEAKER_03]: It was enticing enough for me.
13:54
[SPEAKER_03]: to take Vanderbilt.
13:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Just double the points.
13:57
[SPEAKER_03]: I probably think Alabama's gonna win, but I'm not sure enough to take more than half the point, so give me Vanderbilt.
14:06
[SPEAKER_03]: On the road, on the road in Tusca, Lucia, they might be that good, you never know.
14:13
[SPEAKER_03]: And they're playing in Bryant, Denny
14:16
[SPEAKER_02]: My brother, my brother always called it Ryan called it Brian Denny.
14:19
[SPEAKER_02]: He's fatty.
14:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, well, he did it.
14:22
[SPEAKER_02]: He did that.
14:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Crams a huge out of them.
14:23
[SPEAKER_02]: My guy.
14:24
[SPEAKER_02]: So Ryan was like, where are they playing Brian Denny?
14:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Brian Denny, he deserves his own stadium done.
14:33
[SPEAKER_03]: In the big gym, it's kind of a, uh, which team's legit game, three 30 on the big ten network, three in one, Washington at four and O Maryland.
14:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I have both teams worth five points again.
14:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and this one to me, the different, both of these teams are very similar on what they do to offensively scoring wise, yardage wise, what they give up.
14:56
[SPEAKER_02]: This is another 50, 50 toss-up game, but I'm going to give the edge to Washington because their offense is way better than Maryland's offense.
15:06
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to take Washington on the road.
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not meaning to copy every time Eric, but I'm.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: that they held Ohio State to, at least in the first half, you know, it's just a low point.
15:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm believing in their defense, even though it is coached by Ryan Walters, they'll produce coach, but... I think Maryland is completely fraudulent.
15:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I do not believe Washington is, they're not bad.
15:32
[SPEAKER_03]: They're not good, but they're better than USC and UCLA and Rutgers and Northwestern and Purdue.
15:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
15:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me Washington.
15:41
[SPEAKER_03]: 330 on ESPN, big win in the ACC and my backyard, my cuttle, one of our IU guys says tickets were nine dollars this week, and he's going for in one virgin yet for and a Louisville.
15:56
[SPEAKER_02]: I have six points for virginia, four for Louisville at very quiet for no Louisville.
16:03
[SPEAKER_02]: I might add when I was looking at some of my note today,
16:08
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, man, Louisville's for none.
16:10
[SPEAKER_02]: We haven't even talked about them.
16:12
[SPEAKER_02]: And that it is in your backyard tonight.
16:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Not a very impressive for no.
16:19
[SPEAKER_02]: But for no's for no, I like that.
16:23
[SPEAKER_02]: I like Jeff Brahm as a coach.
16:24
[SPEAKER_02]: I think he could do well anywhere.
16:28
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, this is the number two defense, Louisville and ACC, Virginia's got the number two offense, just right behind Florida State.
16:38
[SPEAKER_02]: Man, my gut's telling me to take defense in this and Louisville at home.
16:43
[SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to only because Virginia's coming off that huge wind at Florida State.
16:50
[SPEAKER_02]: I, I don't think they can move to big games in a row.
16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I got Louisville.
16:58
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the last week or you did to Virginia, I don't know.
17:01
[SPEAKER_02]: And we, another game I said would not even be close.
17:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big believer in Jeff Browl as well.
17:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Really wish you wouldn't have left Purdue.
17:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Could you understand why he did?
17:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's really hope he'd say around at Purdue.
17:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's always going to hold a special place in my heart for driving proof football.
17:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to go with them.
17:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And I could fully agree.
17:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if Virginia can win two big games for a row.
17:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going with a little full home.
17:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I live literally one mile from the city of Louisville and I've never been a Cardinals fan, but I will say that Lamar Jackson kind of grabbed my heart when I was covering the team all those years and so I have a little bit of love in my heart for Louisville football anyway on top of Jeff Brom and not only do I like them but I believe they're going to win this game
17:57
[SPEAKER_03]: 7 o'clock on ESPN it's unbeaten Texas tech at unbeaten used in tech worth three the coogers were seven earth.
18:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I wish I could get more points on this than three, but I like this Texas tech team.
18:12
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch out for them.
18:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm taking Texas tech all day.
18:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I guess I'm kind of giving away the rest of my picks was the only upset.
18:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm picking
18:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're due for an upset and this seems like a seems like a good one.
18:28
[SPEAKER_02]: They're gonna have to out score.
18:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean score high.
18:31
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, could be a shootout I could see Houston went in for sure Jake.
18:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I just this whole semi-protexist tech team thing I know it seems like it's for real and I hope it's not I hope you can't buy your way to championships, but it seems like it might be
18:48
[SPEAKER_02]: What they've been doing and like every sport or whole life, I mean, come on.
18:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but it's a little different now.
18:57
[SPEAKER_02]: Now they're doing it and the wide open.
18:59
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and they can't.
19:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I've had it would be Oklahoma State turns out it's Texas State.
19:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.
19:07
[SPEAKER_03]: 730 on ABC, it's 4 and 0 Miami at 3 and 1 Florida State 4 points for Miami 6 for Florida State
19:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm finally going to score on this one because I know the winner.
19:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Listen to this stat.
19:24
[SPEAKER_02]: The number one offense in the ACC floor state.
19:28
[SPEAKER_02]: 600 yards again.
19:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
19:31
[SPEAKER_02]: The number one defense in the ACC is Miami.
19:35
[SPEAKER_02]: They only allow 244 yards again.
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: What's going to give?
19:38
[SPEAKER_02]: This is like total ends of the spectrum here.
19:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm taking forward a state to win a home with the upset.
19:49
[SPEAKER_02]: Miami gonna get the first loss of the season.
19:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd really like to see Miami lose.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I did pick them to win, just because I feel like this is a game they may win.
20:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not a fan of Miami or Carson Beck.
20:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like that.
20:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I really hope they lose, but I did pick them to win.
20:08
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think Miami's gonna go into Tahazian win that game.
20:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there's a little bit of a talent gap
20:16
[SPEAKER_03]: give me the hurricanes and guys our last game it was 4-0 and number one ranked North Dakota State at 3-1 and 6 ranked Illinois State and guys we have a special guest Winkers right is with us and I dare you to take North Dakota State out.
20:37
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah and I got to change my note.
20:40
[SPEAKER_03]: All right with the
20:45
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right, welcome Wiggers, star of the Illinois State Redbirds a great start to the season.
20:53
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um, thank you.
20:55
[SPEAKER_00]: We're still trying to get everything figured out.
20:57
[SPEAKER_00]: We got to get everything clicking as a team overall, but we're showing signs of life here and there and obviously we're going to have a big test this weekend.
21:05
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are very, very excited and we're just going to step up to the step up to the challenge and do our best as we can this weekend.
21:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure we'll like
21:15
[SPEAKER_03]: For those of you who don't know, Winkers is my nephew and congratulations on a big award nomination this week for your academics and athletics and also being engaged, congratulations on all the big news and your college football careers coming to an end.
21:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much, the best thing that happened to me was finding my fiance through Illinois and on top of that, I've had a success on an off the field
21:45
[SPEAKER_00]: which is referred to as the academic heisman and I hadn't really heard much about it, but It's a pretty big deal, and it's an honor and a blessing to be one of the I think like 177 guys left in the final round and I think results come out in about two and a half weeks like October 22nd.
22:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I think and so Just prayers and fingers crossed that I'm one of the I think like 12 to 16 guys that that move on to the final round and are chosen as winners
22:16
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Waker's Eric Robinson here.
22:17
[SPEAKER_02]: So we mentioned your name every week on our podcast.
22:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Greg always, like you said, we always pick your game.
22:23
[SPEAKER_02]: And so just pretty cool to get to know you three Greg, nice to meet you, especially now.
22:30
[SPEAKER_02]: When I think of like any of the Dakotas, I'm like, they never get beat, like they've been dominating football.
22:36
[SPEAKER_02]: This week we're playing number one.
22:38
[SPEAKER_02]: I think that's a player.
22:39
[SPEAKER_02]: I would be so jacked up, like, let's go.
22:42
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to be super pumped up about the game, right?
22:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm extremely pumped up about this game throughout the week everybody's asking so how's the team feel?
22:52
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I can't speak for the whole team, but I can speak for myself and I'm going to go out there and I'm going to give it everything I have a game like this under under the lights.
23:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be a six-to-clock game wide-out theme.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Sadly, we won't be in our wide jerseys along with the crowd, but that's where we're here to play football so I'm excited.
23:11
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm
23:12
[SPEAKER_00]: If you, if you can knock it, knock down the giants, then nobody can tell you anything and you just gotta keep rolling with that for the rest of the season.
23:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So, it's a great opportunity and, you know, if you want to play with the best, you gotta beat the best, and that's what we're trying to do.
23:25
[SPEAKER_02]: Heck yeah, this could change the whole season right here.
23:28
[SPEAKER_02]: This could be the start of something really special for you on the football field and congratulations on the academics, stuff and best of luck.
23:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, thank you so much, Airemo, or I appreciate that.
23:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
23:41
[SPEAKER_02]: And if I was lead course right now, I'd be picking out my head, Gary, and I'd be switching it.
23:48
[SPEAKER_02]: Winkers.
23:49
[SPEAKER_02]: We're going to win.

24:46
[SPEAKER_02]: Lock it in.
24:46
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a professional.
24:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to fall suit here.
24:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I know just second and go.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I said I was going to pick one upset.
24:55
[SPEAKER_01]: that that confidence that the yes, that was contagious and then I didn't know about the academic awards too.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think any athlete who can combine, you know, excellent play on the field and still have off the field success in the classroom.
25:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's awesome.
25:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think that's a good sign that they are, you know, bound to be a winner in life.
25:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So because we had them join the podcast.
25:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'm going to pick Illinois State here, but I'm in the same boat as Eric.
25:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, whenever you hear the Dakotas and FCS football, you're more than likely going to pick them, but like I said, the confidence that he shows and yeah, just, you know, learn about him throughout the past couple months, I've been a part of this, yeah, it's been pretty cool to fall in the long, so I'm going to go in the state here.
25:48
[SPEAKER_03]: The North Dakota State is that team and they're the best program in all of CS and they have been for over a decade now and if I was picking with my head I would take North Dakota State but I can't pick with my head I have no choice because
26:09
[SPEAKER_03]: If I pick him to win and they lose, if I pick him to lose and they win, man, I'd be in big trouble with my family.
26:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm taking the red birds because as we heard from Winkers, they are going to win this game.
26:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Thanks for having him on, that was really cool.
26:24
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe say when we're getting back on next week, that'd be cool.
26:27
[SPEAKER_02]: And then we got, that's quick Indiana Oregon, right?
26:30
[SPEAKER_01]: One week is Indiana Oregon.
