Set 1: Belichick is Back and We Can Observations (w/ Jess Smetana) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The Rex was not chasing the Jeep. Murray!
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Murray, you there?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: You love sandwiches, huh? Let's go to 80. His name
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: is Bo.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: That's prime time, baby. I had a crush on Betty Rubble.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: to commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: He cost them the game last night. Although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: the game. You're listening to Stugatz and Company. Jessica Smetana
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: is with us. She hosts the College Football Happy Hour
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts with our
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: friend Lucy Rodim. I was greeted by Jess today by
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: her saying to me, I need to get back to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a concrete jungle.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: What is going on with you, Jess?
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Stugatz, the fall allergy is here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: I'm in Chicago right now, and there's some plant outside
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: my window that is just killing me. And this happens...
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: Every fall. And so I'm so excited for football season
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: to start. I'm excited for the crispness in the air,
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: but then like clockwork, my throat starts getting itchy and
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: I just, I got to get back to New York.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: This is too much, too much nature. How was your
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: week zero? It was great.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: I watched every game laying flat on my back on
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: the floor in front of the TV.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I love a floor lay.
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: It's nice that there were, you know, only eight FBS
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: games and a lot of them kind of had their
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: own window. So there wasn't too much overlapping except for
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: a little bit in the afternoon, but I got to,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: I got to soak it all in.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: It was really nice.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Uh, Mikey, do you like a floor lay?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe in my twenties, tough to get up.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: It feels good on my back.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: I was also, I was at a wedding Friday night.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: So I, I was like in full potato mode on Saturday.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: And it just felt, it feels good to just be
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: flat on your back with like a pillow, just looking
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: straight up at the TV.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: It is a crime that we have gotten this far
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: in the podcast without mentioning that North Carolina beat TCU.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: It's been two minutes for crying out loud. I mean,
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. What happened? Jess, did Carolina win or did
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: TCU lose?
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: I love a game when it's both.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: And also TCU lost and Carolina won, but also UNC
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: also kind of lost and TCU kind of won.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: It was just a little bit of everything. It was
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: a hodgepodge. It was a disaster.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: 15 to 10 final score. But I have to say,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Taylor and I, we called this. We were texting each
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: other Saturday morning. And he said, hey, people need to
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: pump the brakes on this TCU team. They're acting like
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: North Carolina's about to play the Georgia Bulldogs.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: And I said, you know what, Taylor? You're absolutely right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: This is TCU's quarterback.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: His first game in FBS, he was a Harvard quarterback
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: for the last four years. The spread's only 7.5 to
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: begin with. Like, it's projected to be a one-score, you know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: barely over a one-score game. And it's in Ireland, and
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the weather is going to be nasty, which it was.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: And lo and behold, me and Taylor, we were right. Mm-hmm.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I thought Taylor had something there. He wanted to talk
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Carolina football. He was leaning into the mic. How was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: your week, Zero Taylor? Oh, I am absolutely buzzing.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: You know, you really take a week zero game for
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: granted because once your team wins, you are buzzing the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: rest of the day. The Cubs in Dublin were rocking.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Carolina put the dub in Dublin. I heard the people
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: in the streets singing, you'll never sing that. You'll never
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: sing that. Aer Lingus college football classic champions. You'll never
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: sing that.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Do you wish you went, Taylor? They invited you to go,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: and you didn't go.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Had a free trip. He did. You're right.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I had a little bit of FOMO because I saw
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: a bunch of my teammates there, but then the game started,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: and I saw it pouring rain, and it kind of
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: just reminded me that I'm so out on these Ireland games.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It's bad weather. It's bad football. Everybody's slipping everywhere. And
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: then you have a long flight.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're 1-0.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: It would have been worth it just to see Belichick
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: hoist that trophy up there. It's going to look so
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: good in Chapel Hill.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: This is going to sound strange to you, but I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: think that's the biggest win of Bill Belichick's storied career.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: That's what people are saying.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Wait, so not just the biggest win of his college
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: football coaching career? Because I think that is unequivocally true.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Because last year they only beat... Charlotte, Richmond, Syracuse, and Stanford.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: But you're saying bigger than any of his Super.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Bowls, too.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Oddly, on a resume that has six Super Bowl victories
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: as a head coach, I think his top two victories
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: are outside of the Super Bowl. I think number one– well,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: number two is the tuck rule, and number one came
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on Saturday in Dublin.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Is he back?
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm with you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: For someone who needed a good– a good PR moment.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: This win came at a necessary time. Cause if he
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: got his ass kicked against TCU again to open the season,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: it would have been well, but you know what actually
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: still got another reason why I saw this coming because
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: as soon as they put Mike Lombardi on leave, I
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: was like, I think this is a good thing for
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: the team. Like I feel a lot better now about
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: how things are going to go. And I don't know
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: so far want to know. I think I was right
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: about that one too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Addition by subtraction. Exactly. Yeah. Taylor, how do you feel?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Because I had Carolina 11-1. We did the win-loss on Carolina, Jess. Well,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, who's laughing now?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: They're the best team.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Well, I was going to say best team in the ACC,
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: but Florida State and Virginia also played on Saturday, so.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I can't say that.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Taylor, did you see anything outside of the defense, which
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: was great, but I don't know how good TCU is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Did you see anything that's encouraging to you moving forward
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: for Carolina football?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: The most encouraging sign outside of the defense that pitches
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: a shutout from the second quarter on The upgrade Carolina
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: made at the offensive coordinator position going from Freddie Kitchens
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: to Bobby Petrino, it was pouring rain in Dublin, and
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: UNC still threw for more yards than in any game
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: last season. Billy Edwards Jr., that man can sling it.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, also a quarterback upgrade, I would say. But
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I think TCU is probably fine. I looked at their schedules, Dugatz.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: They don't have to play against a conference opponent for
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: another month. They play UCF at the end of September.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I think for as much doom and gloom as they're feeling,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: and they should, because they had rancid vibes going into
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: this game with the reports of a player dismissal and
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: a locker room fight and Sonny Dykes banning the Star-Telegram
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: and revoking their credentials. They had some really nasty vibes
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: going into the season, but they'll have a few weeks.
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: They play Grambling next week.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: They get a bye, and then Arkansas State, I think.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: So I'm not that, I don't know. I'm not spelling
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: the N for TCU yet.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Jess, could you make the argument that the biggest winner
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: in Week 0 was Josh Hoover, who transfers from TCU
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to Indiana? Because now I'm looking at Josh Hoover a
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: little differently, being like, I think this guy's going to
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: win the Heisman now.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Josh, yeah, they were TCU. They were just Josh Hoover
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: merchants the last couple seasons.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's a good point.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: I would take it a step further, though, Taylor, in
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: terms of biggest winner and go to a different ACC
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: team and say Virginia– The Cavaliers, a team that played
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: in the ACC championship game last year that I don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: think anyone really respected coming into this season, beat the
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: crap out of NC State on Saturday in a conference
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: game that was supposed to be in Brazil. Ended up
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: not being able to sell enough tickets or whatever, so
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: they moved it to Charlottesville. And I don't know, the
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: vibes are pretty bad for Dave Doran and NC State.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: to begin with, because they've just been kind of a
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: mess the last few years. And they only went four
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: and four in the conference last year, but Virginia looked really,
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: really good. And I know how to pronounce their quarterback's name.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know about you guys, but I can say
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: per Bula.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Some people ESPN play by play. They don't know how
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: to say it, but I know how to say it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Well, how do you say it again? Cause it's a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: tough one.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Per Bula.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Per Bula. Yeah, it's a tough one. It is. Go ahead, Taylor.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: Now I'm second guessing myself.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I know, but I know they're in my observations. It's
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: haunting me. Go ahead.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Jess, with that Virginia win, you could not have scripted
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a better opening week zero for North Carolina fans where
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you have the upset with TCU and then you have
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: NC State getting dragged. Because to me, an NC State
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: loss is the equivalent of a Carolina win. So you
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: double dip there.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Well, you must have had actually not too bad of
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: a season last year because they were both bad.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: So at least you got a half right.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: Now he's 2-0. I mean, how about that?
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Finished 500 last year probably.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Taylor, on the list of topics here, I have no
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: idea what this is, but I am handed a list
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: of things that people on the show are interested in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: talking about. And one of Taylor's topics is Taylor's Irish
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: drinking song. Jess, are you familiar with this song? Do
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know what he's talking about?
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: No, I have no idea what this is going to be,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: but I'm eager to find out.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Okay. What do you got, Taylor?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: So this song is close your eyes and picture you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: in Dublin. You're leaving the TCU North Carolina game.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: You stop by the local pub. There's a fella in
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: the pub.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: A fella.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And he's on top of the bar and he's getting
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: everybody to sing a song. And then that's what this was. Oh,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Bill sawed off for Dublin with his hoodie and his frown.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: He brought the heels from Chapel Hill to shake that
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: Irish town. The horned frogs came to meet him, all
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: dressed in purple hue. But Bill had come for one thing,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to show what the heels could do. They said the
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: man was getting old, they said his time was through.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Then Bill went off to Ireland and beat the hell
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: out of TCU. They called the team a laughing stock,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: nobody gave a chance. They took the fight right to
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: the frogs and did an Irish dance. They counted out Bibela.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Check and said he would go in this. Well, you
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: could kiss my Tar Heel ass while I go drink
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: a Guinness. A quarterback from Maryland. He's over six feet tall.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: He said the heel. in ireland his name is billy
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: football they said his coach was finished his legacy was
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: done he left lombardi in the states and then he
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: finally won but trino called the offense oh bill controlled
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: the d The Frogs came in as favorites, but that
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: meant shit to me. They crossed the sea as underdogs
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: with everybody sure. That TCU would roll the heels while
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: 1510 says more. The time for laughing's over. Coach Bill
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: has got his team. When Carolina comes to town, they're
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: gonna cause a scene. I hope you had your fun.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I mean it sincerely. You woke the sleeping giant. Next stop,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: the CF.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: P.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: You winced at the F, Jess.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: That was so long, but it kept going.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's the song Taylor would have been singing had
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: he taken someone up on a free trip to Dublin, Ireland.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: True. A mistake that you should not make again. You
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: missed out.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It was great. Go ahead, Mikey.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: I believe they say shite.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Can you isolate the final five seconds of that song?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Can you do that? We're just winced.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Whoever that was singing kind of lost his accent there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Right, right, right. Yeah, he definitely peters out when he
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: has to hold a note. I've noticed that. I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: I've heard him sing other songs before where that's been
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: an issue.
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: He used the accent when he needed it to rhyme something,
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: and then he didn't, so he changed it back.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was kind of a thing.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: That's a heady play. Can you isolate the end or no?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: You can't do that? Okay, hold on.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: The Guinness rhyme was.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: You woke the sleeping giant. Next stop, the C. F. P. F.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: The pubs, man.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: The pubs were rocking. You didn't want to try that again?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: They were rocking. You weren't there. I mean.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Jess, I thought USC looked pretty good over the weekend.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: What did you think?
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God, Stugatz.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: The the crowd attendance discourse has been, it honestly, it
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: makes me like miss Miami a little bit because it
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: reminds me of the arguments that we'd have over the
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: Miami home attendance and the Marlins home attendance because USC,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you saw the pictures, they didn't
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: have a lot of fans in the Coliseum for kickoff
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: against San Jose state in week zero, which I should
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: remind you was the game that they had to replace
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: the Notre Dame game with because they, canceled the Notre
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: Dame series after they were about to announce an extension
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: for the next two years that would have done like
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: the typical October, November thing. So then they had to
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: schedule San Jose State in week zero and apparently it
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: was very hot in LA. So not a lot of
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: people went and it was a San Jose State game,
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: not a Notre Dame game. So it was not as
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: interesting of a draw as a Notre Dame game, I suppose.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: So they didn't have a lot of fans there. They
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: did say the attendance was 50,000 people, which I, is
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: Marlins math.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: And that made me, that made me nostalgic for South
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Florida a little bit, but then the, the school put
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: out a statement, which I thought was crazy. You did
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: not need to put out a statement for this because
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: they were just getting slammed.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: So you guys, this turned into like a, this.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: Turned into like a West coast versus Southeast argument and
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: like a coastal elite versus, um, fly over country argument.
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: Like there was just like bickering nonstop between all these
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: bickering USC fans and.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: Beat reporters and other college football fans. It was nonsense.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: But USC put out a statement that said, we understand
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: the factors that impacted Saturday's attendance. We have high expectations
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: and a premier home schedule this season. And we know
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: the competitive advantage and electric Coliseum atmosphere can provide our program.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: We thank our fans who showed up Saturday and look
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: forward to seeing increased attendance the rest of the season.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Again, you didn't need to put out a statement. Just
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: let it, let it, let it. Leave it there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Move on. Right.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: You're obviously going to sell out the Oregon game. Yeah.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: Like we just leave it there.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: You're shining light on a on a terrible situation. It's
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a stupid thing to do. It doesn't require a statement.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: That city. Here are the two factors. Terrible fans at
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: San Jose State. That city does not deserve L.A. A
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: good premier college football program. They won't support it. They'll
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: support it when it's Pete Carroll and Matt Leinart and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. But if they're average or just very good,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: no one's coming to their games.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Period. End of discussion. Get college football out of LA.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, that's the, that's kind of what this
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: argument turned into was, is LA a good sports town?
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: And there were a lot of LA fans who were like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: people love the Dodgers and the Lakers. And it's like, well,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: college football is a little bit different than the Dodgers
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: and the Lakers, but also college football, you only have like.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Six home games a year.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: So to have this few fans at one of those
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: few games as one of those small number of games is,
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: is kind of surprising. And then there was the weather argument,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: which like, yeah, it's hot in other places. And also
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: you guys wanted to play Notre Dame in week zero.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: So that excuse does not really work. I don't blame
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: anyone for not going. Cause it was apparently really hot
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: and yes, it is San Jose state, but, I imagine
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: if Lincoln Riley was having a better career so far
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: at USC, there would be more people there for the
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: home opener. But also I don't think he would have
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: canceled the Notre Dame series if that were the case,
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: because they would be winning that series and they haven't been.
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: And that's part of the reason why he wanted to
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: move it and then ultimately cancel it.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: By the way, Miami, not much better. It's hot everywhere
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: right now. It's August. Okay.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: It's going to be hot in Tuscaloosa. It's going to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: be hot in Austin, Texas. And I guarantee you against
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: bad teams. And I guarantee you a packed house, packed house.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Although Texas plays Ohio State, don't they?
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: I think that's week three, though.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Texas State this week.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, Texas, Texas State.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Wow. Pac-12.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: In-state rival.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Texas State.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Wildcats.
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's a lot of, like, flyover state bashing. Like, well,
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: of course people are going to those Big Ten games.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: There's nothing to do there. And it's like, okay, well,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: there's also.
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: Like, 13 million fewer people around in, in driving distance.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: But the reason why I compare it to Miami is
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: because it's kind of a similar vibe where it's like, look,
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: if they're not playing someone that is top notch, I'm
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: not getting in traffic.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: I'm not getting in traffic for that team.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: And I think that's a big reason behind Miami's issues
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: at times is. Even when they're good, they don't have
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: great attendance for the lower-tier matchups. But I think the
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: big reason is I'm not getting in my car and sitting.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: On I-95 for much, especially for Bethune-Cookman.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, on a Saturday, it's an hour drive from campus.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's ridiculous.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Texas State's in the Pac-12 now?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Did I call them the Wildcats? Yeah, the Bobcats. The Bobcats.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I knew they were a cat. I mean.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: I think if you gave Stugatz.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: 50 guesses, he probably couldn't name the Pac-12 teams this year.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You want to try? Should we?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, I got nowhere to be.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: A Pac-12 team. So is UCLA still in the Pac-12? Incorrect.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: No, they're in the Big Ten.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus, college football has gotten to shit.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Washington.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: No.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Close san jose state close hawaii washington state ah the
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: cougars how about that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: San jose state was close but it was close it
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: feels like they should be in.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: It not a jose yeah you're close.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Replace the middle word in San Jose State with another school.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of another San something state. San
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Diego State.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: How about that? The Aztecs. That's all I got. Nailed it.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: I named two.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: What you got?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: What you got?
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: Taylor, do you know the rest of them?
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: We're missing like.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: They're all states. No, no, no.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: They're all state schools.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: We have no idea how many we're missing. The Big
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Ten has 20 teams in it, and we still call
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: it the Big Ten.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. It's weird.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: I think we're missing five.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: How about the Big 20?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Last year, the Pac-12 was just Washington State. And who
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: was the team Washington State was doing home and homes with?
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Oregon State?
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Oregon State. Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: They're in it this year.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: No one knows where anyone is. Seriously.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Pick a decent school and throw state on it. And
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: that's who's in the Pac-12.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Like Fresno State or Boise State.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Texas State.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Colorado State.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Texas State.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: Wait a second.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: Colorado State.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Utah State.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Utah State. The Texas State Wildcats are a Pac-12 team.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Steve Martin.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Close.

• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Felt bad coming out of my mouth, Mikey.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Do you have.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It's a Monday.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: You should have done Smetan... Smetana!
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Smetana! For nearly two decades, he was considered the greatest
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: football mind of all time. His quarterback left and things
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: started to unravel. The next season, that quarterback won a
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl for a coach who wore a Kangol.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Shortly after, he was let go.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Of course, there was the shirtless video of him leaving
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a stranger's home. taking the head football coaching job at
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: a college basketball school, and Jordan.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, Jordan. But you know what they say. Winning cures everything.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: And on Saturday, he was cured with a 15-10 win
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: over a team that I'm not certain is any good.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: But a win's a win. And Jess, just like that.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. Bill Belichick.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Is back.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: Sure is.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: That's my coach.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: Yep. Jess, you know what the B in Bill stands for? Back. Yes.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: You know what the B in Belichick stands for?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: No.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Back. You know what the B in Bobby Petrino stands for?
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: Back.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Back.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Hey, other coaches, if you think Bobby Petrino doesn't have
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: his eyes on your job, guess what?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: You don't know Bobby Petrino. He's got his eyes on
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: the job. You know what Pablo Torre is about to
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: find out?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: That Bill Belichick always has the last laugh despite never laughing.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: How about that? Baseball.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I want to thank you. It's been a good summer.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Football has it from here. Unlike the MLS.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Good callback.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: You would think after eight months without college football, college
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: game day could have found a way to work week zero.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're either in or you're out. Let's go.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: McAfee.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: That's your point. Yeah. Why I'm blaming him. Reese Davis
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: is doing the US Open. I got to tell you,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: game day's not focused. Reese Davis is doing tennis. I mean.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, tennis.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love tennis.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Crazy match last night, though.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Djokovic. Poor Djokovic.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: There's no better feeling than sitting on a couch, or
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in Jess's case, on the floor, on a college football
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Saturday and knowing you won't be moving for the next
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: 12 hours. It's great.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I was so happy my dog wasn't where I was.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I was like, oh, I don't have to walk the
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: dog today.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: This is the best day.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: And I felt bad.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Hey, Belichick. Just let the record show. I never doubted.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Me neither.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: You're such a jackass. You know that?
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: All you did was doubt. Still am.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Embarrassed I did.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: To everybody.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: That one stopped.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: That doubted the greatest football coach of all time. Shame
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: on you. And enjoy that crow. Congratulations to Bill Belichick.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: For winning coach of the year before 90% of college
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: football even kicks off. By the way, Belichick's got his
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: eyes on every NFL job. And if you don't think
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: he does, you don't know Bill Belichick.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Put a team in Dublin.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: If you ask Bill Belichick for his ideal way to
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: win a football game, it would be getting somebody to
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: jump off sides.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: They fell for it, man.
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: Seriously. It's crazy.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Move over. Eight Super Bowl trophies.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: And make room for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic Trophy.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Rolls right off the tongue.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: It really does. Aer Lingus.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Sounds less like an airline and more like something my
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: wife said no to.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. The Lingus, though. It is.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: The Lingus.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: It connotes things.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: If you squint hard enough, Billy Edwards Jr. starts to
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: look like Tom Brady. Jess, you know what the B
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in Billy Edwards Jr.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Stands for?
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: Brady. Brady.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Nailed it.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: The way the broadcast was talking about TCU's quarterback made
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: me think they were watching a different game.
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: He did make some mistakes were made.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: TCU quarterback. Jaden Craig, the rare Harvard quarterback with no
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: football IQ.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. You don't want a Harvard quarterback. I mean,
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: you just don't.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Fitz?
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: Eh.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: He was on 15 teams.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: I mean.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Ricardo just said he never went to the playoffs.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Good point. Who, Fitz?
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Almost impossible that Fitzpatrick never made it to the playoffs.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: That many years on that many teams? You figure he'd
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: stumble into one.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: I mean. If college football was decided on uniforms, UNC
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: would win every national championship.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: They're pretty nice.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I did really like those. Yeah, the black accent, pretty good.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Somewhere in America, Michael Lombardi watched that Carolina game and
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: turned to somebody and said, I built this team.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Do it in America.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: True.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: If you missed the second half of TCU in North Carolina,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: don't worry.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: You didn't miss a thing.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: That defense, man. Slap fest. If you've seen one college
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: football game in Ireland, you've seen them all.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: What is it about that game? Is it the weather?
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Ireland.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: It's always misting.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: The field conditions seem terrible.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Great stadium, though.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: We keep trotting them out there, though.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: You won't hear me say anything bad about it, so
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: stop trying.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: The college football season should never start in Dublin, Ireland.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Give me the Rose Bowl. Give me somewhere in the south.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Give me something and somewhere other than.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Dublin, Ireland.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Next season, Pitt Panthers, Wisconsin Badgers.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: In Dublin? Yep.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Jesus.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: We're sending our professional drinkers abroad. It's going to be great.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yes. Booger McFarlane, making his game predictions based on what
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: city he likes to visit more.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: Booger, that's how you do it. My man.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: I was listening to that, and he's like, I'm taking
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Hawaii because I love Maui.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: And I was like, okay, what are we doing?
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: I've got UNLV in the night game. Love visiting Las Vegas.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: That's how you do it. Did the Rebels win?
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: 0 for 2 in those picks.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: By the way.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Virginia with their first home win over NC State in
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: 20 years.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: How is that possible?
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, Virginia.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: There was a different observation here, but I'm reading this
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: observation and I'm thinking to myself, it's Virginia, it's NC State.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: You've never beaten them at home in 20 years. How?
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Anyway.
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: I think he answered your own question.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: The Wahoos. Here's the name, Jess. Bo Pribula.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Nailed it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: I think you did, but now I'm second guessing myself.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Regardless, he's a running back pretending he's a quarterback.
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: I'm worried for his ankles. He runs like the kind
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: of quarterback that gets rolled up on a lot.
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Slim T-Bow.
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: Maybe it's just because he wore low socks, so his
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: ankles were exposed.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Bow. Probula.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's got to be 17 more observations with
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: this guy's name in it.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I don't want to blame anyone, but I'm
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: staring straight at Taylor. 15 rushes. To just nine completions. Bo.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Enjoy that ice bath. You deserve it.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: The most impressive thing in UVA NC State was the
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: announcers pronouncing Bo Pribula's name differently every time. I said
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: it quickly and I think I nailed it.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: That was your best one so far.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Thank you.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: When UVA had a 23-play drive, I turned to Abby
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and said, Now that's football.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: She said, what else would it be? And I said,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: never mind. You don't get it.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Service Academy.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Drive right there.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: That was good stuff.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: NC State must have thought the game was still in
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Rio de Janeiro because they got Brazilian waxed.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, God.
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: Gross.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: How'd that get there?
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: A shiver went down my spine. It hurts.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Much the way it did towards the end of Taylor's
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Irish song. Yes.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, God.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: CJ Bailey. Overrated. Dave Dorian. Is that his name?
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Doran.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Doran is the James Franklin of Eli Drinkwitz's. I get
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: that right?
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: I feel like that's an insult to Eli Drinkwitz.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It's Dorian, huh?
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: Doran.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: Doran? Doran.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: He's got an extra vowel in there. It's kind of confusing.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: No fan base in the country deserves 14 years.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: Of Dave Doran.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: That's such a Taylor observation.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: They should show him the Doran. Think about this, Jess.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Dave Doran has been at NC State longer than Kirby
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Smart has been at Georgia. Yeah.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, that kind of tracks, though. I feel like
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Kirby hasn't been there that long.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you to think about it.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: I'm thinking. I'll keep thinking.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: I've never seen ref cam and thought, you know what
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: this broadcast needs?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: More ref cam. It makes me nauseous.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Always.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: I'm like getting seasick on the floor.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: They act like it's revolutionary to see the ref cam.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Look at this quarterback running through ref cam. Now spend
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: the next 20 minutes being disoriented.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: UNLV having an Elvis impersonator walk out of the tunnel
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: with them to open the season.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: That's what college football is all about.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: So it was weird to do this against Memphis because
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Elvis is synonymous with both Memphis and Las Vegas, with
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Viva Las Vegas. But when you think Elvis, do you
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: think Memphis or Vegas more?
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: I think of Vegas more.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: I really liked the tweet I saw that was like
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: Memphis versus Vegas, and it was the Memphis Bass Pro
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: Shops Pyramid and then.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: The Vegas Pyramid Hotel. That was really good stuff.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Taylor, put it on the poll, please. When you think
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: about Elvis, do you think Memphis or Las Vegas?
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Ricardo's shaking his head. He said it was definitively Memphis
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: because of Graceland.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: What do you think, Stu?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: It's Vegas. I don't think about them. But if I
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: were to think about Elvis, I would think about Memphis first.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: Wow, we're all split.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: It might be a generational thing.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Graceland. Ricardo's right. People, Las Vegas.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: Viva Los Angeles.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, think of Elvis impersonators first.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: Memphis quarterback, Marcus Stokes. Not the Marcus Stokes I had pictured.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Hand up. I didn't know we were making white Marcuses.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: I was shocked. Marcus Aurelius. Who?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think Marcus Smart. I think Marcus Liberty.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: I think, I mean, I'm just saying.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Marcus Freeman.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Marcus Freeman.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: You know that saying, a win is a win? Florida
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: State's win was not a win. Florida State should never
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: struggle this much to find a quarterback.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Mike Norvell. Making it to November would be a miracle.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: We like Norvell.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Which game you got circled for that? The Miami game, maybe?
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Maybe.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Like, which game is it going to happen after?
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, they.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Have a bye right after that, so that would probably
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: be my guess.
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: I think you have to do it before the Miami week,
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: just so you hope to get the interim coach bumped
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: for that game.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Bring in, like, Coach O.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: You know what the N in Norvell stands for, Jess?
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Not going to make it to November.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: November. You know what the M in Mike stands for?
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: Miracle.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Something about Stanford and Hawaii in week zero just feels right.
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: Until Stanford wins.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: Well, Stanford seems to have all the ingredients for a
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: great college football program.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: They're missing one key ingredient. Good players. But everything else
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: is there. The school is great. The field is beautiful.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: Andrew Luck is there.
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true. Andrew Luck is there.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Timmy Chang. A name that will always make me smile.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: True.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: Hawaii.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Hell of a fourth quarter comeback. Speaking of hell. Art Bryles. Jess.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Those are the Weekend Observations.
