  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know man, this guy's just buying tickets.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Nah, dude, he said they got texts out there from him now bragging about what he's been doing.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: I mean he wasn't quiet about it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what's this guy's name?
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Connor Stallions.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Connor Stallions, and he it's his real name.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: So update us on what.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: What's the latest?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Latest is he's.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: You know they're, they're I, I, I don't.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: If you want to when he's, I would say go watch the interview with Greg Sciano from the Rutgers game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just go into halftime.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Just watch that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, if you go YouTube it.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Dude, just just go Google Connor Stallions.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: And all of the evidence will pop up.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: All right Everything they got on him.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: So he's just right there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I saw one clip he's sitting there from last year's Ohio State game, right there by the play caller.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: So quite a few games They've got him.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: How do you explain that?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: They have him buying tickets to you know every, every game, every home game, for every program right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: The big 10, which okay.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: But now you also got him.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: Two, two Clemson home games, both SEC title games, home games, and Athens.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: He didn't get any to TCU, did he?
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: No, he did not.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Oh, there you go.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Um, I it's yeah.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Let's speculate what happens.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: What happens?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: That happens with Michigan this season.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: This season.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I think that's what's.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: That's what's going on right now.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You think they'll get punished this season?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's so much evidence they're not spending this time right now just going over the evidence.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: There's more than enough for them to say, all right, they were doing this, something's up, so they're going to try.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, maybe they're trying to just get everything they can to to to.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You know the whole scope of it and everything like that, but I don't know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: The big 10 has the power to do whatever they want.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: This is something that goes on.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: but the way this is almost taken it to another level here, I mean you knew, I mean, look at the national championship game from 10 years ago.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We, you know, you had the coach that was used to coach Florida state right, damian Craig used to coach here.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: He knew all the same, you know it's like that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Oh it it.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't think that's a staffer who's going around.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have no coaching experience.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: He doesn't have a laminated place sheet Wow.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Like that you know he's just over there on the sidelines being like oh yeah, this is a big route right here.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: These are going to be even more paranoid, yeah Well yeah, yeah.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: You start to see why I don't think that this is like just.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I think for the last couple of years they've been, you know, you know whispers about it and kind of been accused by other programs right Face to face.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: But right, right, it's never hit national media like this because yeah, yeah, coaches bad enough and, like you're right, you referenced that Shiano interview and somebody.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: That's what happened, like the coaches started asking those questions to other reporters or something, because yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: You report that's.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: There's probably been Some speculation going on behind the scenes.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean the opposing coaches maybe it's not the first time with a coach.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: You look what burnt vegetables up at Clemson for years.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Accused of you know size not to this degree, right Um but first off, you have to.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: If you're a coach, you need to switch it up because, yeah, I mean you don't want to.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: No fan base wants to hear it after the fact.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It sounds a little bit After the fact, but I mean.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah you need to go ahead and switch it out.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: It would be you have three quarterbacks given different signals.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: There's deeks everywhere, but a really good point has been brought up about.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: You know they don't use microphones in the helmets.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You know they don't use the same thing that the NFL does.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Well, that's common.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and it's not, it wouldn't be like at a great cost.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: They can have it done in a week.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Are we going to have that again?
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this is ridiculous.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I mean you're given.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It's interesting because Harbaugh is an NFL guy.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He's just going to be the face of this, but this is probably rampant all around.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it Nobody has the budget or the scheme that probably can go to this level.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah and just find a super fan, which is apparently just what this this Connor Stallion's guy is Was just a really for lack of a better term a huge football nerd.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You know, dedicated Michigan fan.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: Tons of free time and know how to you know there's apparently he was coming up with his own kind of programs and data and stuff like that to run in the future, but in the meantime he was going to games.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what it's going to.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: First, this guy's just done it on his own.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: You know why would we?
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: not Well, because there's a lot of evidence of association with Michigan.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Right, so what?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: What can you just say?
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, we didn't know the rule.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: We didn't know the guy.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: So we'll see man.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: I think you'll see Michigan and Harbaugh part ways at the end of the season, I think you know he's and he won't see any action or any trouble for this.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: No, no, no.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: I mean he'll be back in the NFL and it'll be, you know.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: You know how to play by the rules up here.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: You've been up here.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You know it's funny that you don't want to believe, like, oh, it's can't be that simple, that obvious.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: But then you know, god, look at that TCU game.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It does yeah.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I mean geez it does seem like a way they dominated Ohio State on the road.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sort of a world dumbest criminal moment for Michigan Like man.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some upset people.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: How they had.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: You know it got a lot better after the COVID years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: They?
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Did you go back and look at his record?
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Again, speculation, man, but it's it's.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I, I would be absolutely floored if they just kind of let it.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Let it go with nothing Too many other too many other teams in season.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: That would be like now the Big 10 can punish them and it not have any effect on the college football playoff.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: You know say they ban them from their conference title game.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: They will have effect, because then they won't have a chance.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Ten championship, because conference championships matter.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so they would stick technically still be eligible, unless the football committee, the playoff committee, was just like.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: You know what Screw you guys, if we're done with you this season as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I you know, we'll see man.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It's crazy, it's just crazy.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: They have a bi-week this week, so we'll see.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: We'll probably get some more.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: There seems to be more stuff coming out each day on that, so we'll see what happens.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: But, like you said, it seems to be they have enough.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: What now?
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do?
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Well, what's next is now?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You got to get that.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: They'll look to officially get Mr Connor Stallions on the record for their investigation.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: If they can which probably you know lawyer up and do all that nonsense, so it'll, it'll drag.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So that's why I was surprised when you were a few.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Now the big tent, the big tent, doesn't have to do any of that.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: They don't have to go through due process to be able to say Probably what will happen is somebody that wasn't even there is going to have to yeah, because that's the old model like, oh, everybody else will leave, that was involved and go off to green or just get another contract.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And then the people that are able to replace them have to pay for any players.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: If they have any punishment, any players that stay at Michigan will get punished for it and whoever the next coach is like Elko, but it'll, it'll, you know well wow.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, crazy.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Let's get back to the field and week nine is approaching.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: The playoffs are coming out.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Next week, who will be the top four?
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Will be in the national top four?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Who will be over the questions me, and will it be easy?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Will there be all undefeated teams?
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: We'll know after this week.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: We'll know how good Georgia is after this week.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: They have the largest outdoor cocktail party.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: There it is Don't call that yeah why, yeah, you know why, but it's going to be a good one.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the spread is 14 and a half and Florida is 0 and 17.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, never won a game when they're two touchdown or more underdog.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: This would be the 18th time.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: They're 0 and 17.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: I think 18 times going to be a charm, man.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: What I do, I do.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Why, I don't know.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Florida has some momentum.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: They got a good recruiting class there they seem to be.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: They can run the ball, you can run the ball.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Graham Mertz is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the country.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: He's damn near completing 80 percent of his passes.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I ate him big old mouthful of turds.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: On that one man, my prediction that he was going to be horrible.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: No, well, when you have to open the season.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was more about Paul Christ in.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Wisconsin, Really just not knowing how to use him.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: So tip of the cap to Billy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: You got that one.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But, this is Georgia.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: I know it's Georgia.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: They look like they're impossible to run the ball against.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: They don't got Brock Bowers man.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Until I see that offense just click like it does when he's out there without him, I'm going to be really skeptical and I think I think Florida is playing with a lot of you know, chip on their shoulder momentum stuff like that.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: We'll see if Carson Beck will be able to spread the ball out to you, because they have the talent.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: And this is where you have to back home.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Man, he's Jacksonville area kid, you know it's going to be.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: I mean this, We'll see.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: So you got Florida.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be a battle of running games and you know I got Florida kind of eking it out.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I don't think with the upset, yeah, with the money line, wow, wow.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: We just went straight to that one.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: We did straight to that one, but it starts Thursday.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: We'll do this one.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: That's going to mean that that's going to be a huge game for the Gators, though, and if there was a time you want to get Georgia, I guess it's now.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Both teams coming off a buy, though.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So you would.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: You definitely want to get them with.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Georgia should have a plan.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: That's the offensive player out.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: We'll see, man.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: They added some guys at wide receiver through the portal.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: We'll find out.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: This is a good test for Georgia.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I think you know, before the rankings come out, they'll be able to come out after this game with the question answered Are they number one?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: You'll find out.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, all you got to do is win this game and you're, I think, solidified that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: So, george, yeah, so you got.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I'm taking Florida and the points here.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Georgia wins.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, two touchdowns is.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I think Florida covers here.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: But it's a rivalry game and I mean it's going to end sometime, right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, goodness gracious, they have the longest they've been.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: They lose players every year.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: They reload, they reload.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Now they've lost one of the guys in the season.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Will they have enough talent on the roster?
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Reload kind of in season and get over a hungry Gator team?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: We'll find out in Jacksonville this Saturday.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going with Gators and the points.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Are you saying upset here?
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Upset.
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a physical game, and that Georgia defensive line against the Florida offensive line is the matchup that I want to focus on.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Ok to me that's going to be the absolute battle up front.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: So, you know, if Florida can, you know they can even stalemate that.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, let play, action, work and stuff.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: I think they can do it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: Man, I got him doing it All right.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Let's go to.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Thursday night.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the ACC, sarah Hughes, searching for their first conference victory, coming off a bye.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: A little bit healthier.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: I was going to Blacksburg.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Well, the Hokies have control of their own destiny to get to Charlotte, winning therein.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: That's incredible.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: They've looked a lot better with.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Kyron Jones man.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they wouldn't have started Grant Wells I you know they're right They'd probably have two more wins on their on their resume, but this will this will be a sneaky, tricky one for them.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: So, syracuse coming off a bye, they're a little bit healthier.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: They still don't have a rendez-gast in junior man.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: He's not coming back.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: That Liz Frank injury, we all know about that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: All right, so it's a it opened.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: It's currently at two and a half.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Syracuse is getting two and a half.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Two and a half.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: No, I mean, I know they're a little bit healthier Shrader.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: No, I got.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: I got.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Give me Virginia Tech Twenty eight to 17.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: It's in Blacksburg, you know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Pry is a defensive guy.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry it's three, syracuse getting three.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I'm taking the Hokies.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I think they've been a much improved game after that Florida State game.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: You could kind of see it in that game.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah Well, it's a different quarterback man.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: It changes your team.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But I do think Syracuse brings a fight.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: That line surprised me.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I thought it would be more.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: You know people are still skeptical on Virginia Tech.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I don't think it has anything to do with Syracuse being formidable.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: They just I mean, that's a, that's a depleted roster.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: You know, dino's got his hands full.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a game tonight.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: You want to pick it.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: It's a rich ride.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: Jack State.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to play FIU.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Is it down in Miami?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, eight and a half FIU is getting.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Keep a close eye on trick it down there in Miami now.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Wander off to a beach bar.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I got a Jack State winning pretty handedly.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Ok, fiu doesn't have a whole lot Rich rides got it rolling.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's six and two.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: They lost to.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Well, they lost to Liberty yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: He's undefeated.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Dude Liberty would win.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Most of the games in conference in the ACC.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: OK, let's go to go to Saturday.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Wake Forest or Florida State.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: It's coming in seven and a top dog in the ACC.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They're getting 20 and a half.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest is.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, you know, like they should.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing that I've said the last few weeks.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: There's no real excuse not to be able to cover that.
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: But I could also see us winning a game like 39 to 20.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: And then there you go.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know which one.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're going to cover.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: OK, taking Wake Forest and the points Give me.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: FSU yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: To cover here, and it starts.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Wait, yeah.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Wake has problems at quarterback, it can still run the ball.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: They came out with a big win last week, right at the end of the game.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they did Young guy through it.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they beat an FSU three straight times.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Three straight times.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: There is no Sam Hartman, which is big.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: This has got it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: But FSU need to say this personally and go up there and do not let this team hang around.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I want to see Florida State get a big and cover early.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you look at the numbers and and Wake's defense is actually better this year than they were last year when the two teams faced off.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Just by, by stats you know right.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: And they've played really no explosive offices outside of Clemson.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Having to be on the road is not explosive and it's going to be their Super Bowl.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: You know, it's going to be their, their, everything.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: You know Florida State is going to be that for every team they play the rest of the season.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I could see Wake Forest covering here, but I am going to take FSU covering the spread.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not anything other than that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's move on.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Kansas, where they're hosting Oklahoma.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: got off.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a big one, oklahoma was able to get out of their dodge at home against UCF last week.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I man that play for God.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: But they're going to Kansas.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Who's getting 10 points at home?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It's all about which QB plays man.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: You know, jalen Daniels is is ready to go and then plays.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: I do that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I will take Kansas in the points.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: I think Oklahoma pulls it out just by luck.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: They look like they kind of have that, that horseshoe up their butt this year, like they're just going to get through the season and kind of roll into the playoff.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: But Jalen Daniels is really.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: If he done play, then I think Oklahoma wins handedly.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: Hmm, back up is is not terrible, but he really doesn't do much as a as a passer.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: This is a big game for Oklahoma.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: They need to wait.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: They better not sleepwalk.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: No, they'll lose.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they play like they did.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Played like they did last week.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: They lose.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: I think they wake up.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I think they respond.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: I think that was a sign there at home they're going to come out, take their business.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: give me Oklahoma points.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: It's because he was facing his old team.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, All right, let's go.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Let's keep it in the big 12 Kansas State five and two.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Now they're hosting Houston and Houston's getting 17 and a half.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Houston covers that.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Give me a wildcat, but I think they you know.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: I think Houston falls off the road after that heartbreaker.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: I think Kansas State blows them out.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, they'll score.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: The Kansas State will score a million points on them Right.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: But I think I think Houston does what they do, man.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: They come back fourth quarter, score five touchdowns and still lose by two touchdowns.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: That's kind of as Dana's right, that's his whole glow.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Right, well, will you see it?
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Let's keep it in the big 12 again.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Will UCF be able to get a win at home?
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: I got West Country roads coming down West Virginia Getting seven West Virginia's on the road.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Ucf Home favorite by seven.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Who you got?
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Give me UCF but, but I don't think they cover.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'm taking the Mountaineers, are you Okay?
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Neal's in some hot water again.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Man, he was coasting there for a while, but Well, I'm taking him in a close loss.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, dabbo.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Dabbo has got three losses in the ACC coming off.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: A bad loss in Miami, yeah it was a bad loss.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: You just threw your quarterback under the bus after the bad loss.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Yep, they're gonna be in at NC State.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Who man?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: NC State's getting 10.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I'm taking the Wolf Pack to cover.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm gonna take the Wolf Pack to beat Clemson what?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh my gosh.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: Dude, I mean, you see, this being like a low scoring affair, oh, and.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: You know, lance Gidry from Miami started switching up to that 3-3-5 in that game against Clemson his own version of it and Gidry, by the way, has done a really, really great job at Quarrel Gables Gave Clemson all kinds of problems.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: Tony Watts' face up there in Raleigh Like that's his specialty, that 3-3-5.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: That's what they do.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be another game like it was against Miami for Clemson.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: You know, lose late, something like 24-20.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: They got problems.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Man, it can't be comfortable up there in that locker room.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, you got the head coach throwing your quarterback under the bus.
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Shipley's beat up.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Offensive line is beat up.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Give me the Wolf Pack.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to oh.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Let's go to.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the Pack 12.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Do it USC?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: What's going on there?
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: They're going to play Cal who's?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: At home, getting eight and a half.
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: Speaking of uncomfortable locker rooms, usc man, all that stuff coming out about Caleb Williams, and then where is Lincoln?
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: Right, I think he's sick.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: You know little speculation there.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Probably COVID, but whatever.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, speculation, I think.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: But they got problems.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know that Cal can beat them.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: So give me what is it?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: 10?
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: , eight and a half?
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Eight and a half, yeah, I think they'll cover that.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: It's one of the few games they probably pull out.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: If not, dude wheels are falling off if they can't win this game.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the ACC.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: A big one Duke going to Louisville, an elimination game for Charlotte, duke's getting a field goal on the road.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: All right, man.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Well, do they know?
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: Do they know which quarterback is gonna?
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna assume Riley Leonard's gonna play.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: So who you got?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Damn Trying to think man, I you know, if he plays, I think they win.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, give me Louisville.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, I think it's gonna be a tough, tough.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Duke's defense gave it everything.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Will they have enough to go on the road again?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Louisville is coming off a bye.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And they're gonna have too much in the end for Duke.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, was the Louisville coming off a loss?
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're coming off their worst loss.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, they got.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: They went to Pitt Got beat.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: You're right, though, man Like this could be a point where Duke starts dropping a few games.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: You look when their schedule gets tougher.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: On the road against Florida State I got to go on the road to Louisville.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: I got to say the injury start mounting up, but I think if Leonard plays they're gonna do it.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: You got Louisville, I got to do.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: You think they cover?
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Louisville yeah, they're gonna win.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's a, it's a field goal and give me Louisville by touchdown.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Oh man, let's see, this is the big one game day it's gonna be in Utah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Oregon is the favorite Utah home dog.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Hmm, yeah, they don't like their quarterbacks.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Man, I love them, minus six and a half, who you got in this.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Utah pulling the upset.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: They're tough.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: They are.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: That defense is.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: They're the two-time defending Pac-12 champs.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: The coach looks like he bit your face off.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: He's like a cross between Rutger Hauer and Harrison Ford, just bewildered.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: He sits there with that demented look and his stare on his face on the sidelines.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: He looked like he bit your cheek off.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I hope he's not listening.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I'm taking the ducks, taking the ducks.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: This is a statement game for them.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I think they should have beat Washington.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: They're the best team in the Pac-12, I think so they're gonna have to win out.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: Bo Nix can get back in the Heisman race if he goes into Utah and puts up numbers and gets the win.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that immediately puts them right back in the incontention.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: I'd say at the top spot.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: Right, so give me Oregon in this game by a double digits.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: There you go, Big time win huh.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: That's an elimination game, right.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: That's an elimination game.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna regret this one.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Utah is tough at home, but I think Oregon has what it takes to get it done.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: With the quarterback being experienced as he is, I think you'll be able to come in into that environment and score enough to win.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you only got to score a lot.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Utah's got a problem, although they didn't against USC, but who doesn't?
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Right, well, we got to get on out of here.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: We got to go.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: But we got a couple other ones to throw in there because Miami's going to be at home against Virginia.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Boy man, those ones scare Miami fans.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Sleepy games against teams like that.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Virginia.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: With the big upset against North Carolina last week, will they be able to go down south to a raucous environment?
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: No, there won't be anybody at the game.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I heard there was adult entertainment in the tailgate party in Miami last week.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Sounds about right.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean every week man.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Alright.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pro stadium, it's Miami.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I meant like they had strippers.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I know, yeah, same thing goes on at Raider games, man, or back in the day when they were out in like Oakland and LA and stuff, same big cities, man.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Miami's getting 18 and a half to Virginia.
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: Oh, I mean Dikes playing.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: He's playing.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: You know, I think they cover Virginia's not good Right?
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: That's what was so surprising about it.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: I think so too.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I think there's this team.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: They can't.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: They have to still be thinking of that Georgia Tech game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a little bit more identity right now up front for Miami on.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: You know, bain is just ridiculous.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Well, Lord has got the biggest game of the week in the state and it's family homecoming.
