  Speaker 1: College football fans, Welcome back to the College Ball Show.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: He's Marshall, I'm Chris, and we're here to talk about
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: a wild Week twelve. I mean, holy shit, I still
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: don't know how A and M pulled that crazy comeback
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: down thirty to three at the half. You gotta feel
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: for South Carolina in that scenario. Oklahoma stays alive. We'll
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: get some views from a guy who was on the scene.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: That was a great win. Georgia Tech snuck by once again.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Georgia smack Texas once again. UCA rallies USC. I should
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: say rallies on Iowa, which is very difficult to do
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: if you look at the record they have. That Clemson
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Louisville game was just eaked out. Speaking of eked out,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Michigans survived just a bunch of and overs, missfield goals
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: still in the hall. They won that game. Old Miss
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: snuck by Florida. So there's a lot of close games,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you know, if you just look at the ranked but
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: even unranked, it was so many close games. Great week.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: We have Week thirteen coming up, Oregon USC Georgia Tech Pitt.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: If Georgia Tech wins that game, they're in the ACC
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: title otherwise that's about all I got because the rest
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is just a mess. Oklahoma at Miszoo trap game potentially
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: coming off that that let not the trap game, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the letdown game. I should say SMU Louisville very meaningful
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: in the ACC BYU Sincy and a variety of other
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: games that we'll talk about. I kind of was looking
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: at like the top ten, and it does feel like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: there's you know how it was like six to eight
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: last year that were contenders going to the playoffs. Right now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it feels like there's ten teams that you could make
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in our argument for and let's not forget Ohio State
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was ten and two last year and made a run.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: So you can't count out, you know, teams that are
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: ten and two or even one loss. We were just
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: talking about Texas Tech before this, So yeah, it is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: wide open. As we have two weeks left at the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: regular season, lock can still happen. People kind of forget that.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the teams that are undefeated usually lose a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: game in November, and the teams that have one loss
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: tend to lose a second one in November. We got
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: one of them with Bama. We dan't. I still don't
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: know how we didn't get one with A and M.

• 3:57
  Speaker 2: great environment, heard lots of roles. High only had two
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: punk kids who thought they were special that just wanted
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: to make a scene, but all the Alabama fans were friendly.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Talked to a couple people about my guy Laane Kiffin.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Just a really fun experience. I was able to go
• 4:13

• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a pretty sizable donation to owe you because he's like,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, I heard we got He's like, I got
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: five seats in a row together, and he's like, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: think we're upper deck because our seats at m M.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: And we get there and man to row two was
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: row two on the field in the end zone on
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the side of the I mean just I think I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: teared up a couple of times. I'm like, dude, as
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: a sports fan my whole life, and I'm in tuscal
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Whoso watching this pregame show. Who So there were there
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: were overall, Like I'm not complaining, but it was kind
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: of hard to see the game vantage point, just because
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: you're on field level, so like anything not in front
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: of you is hard to see. But I don't care.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: It was.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Don't make me bring out the sad violin Hell no.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: No, I'll be second over for the rest of my life.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: For a big football game, that's fine, hey, and again
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: walk down Tuscaloosa with the dumb you know, and again
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: fairness everyone, you know. I was kind of nervous like that,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: won't people gonna talk ship? Like no, and everyone wears
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: the same color too, Oklahoma read same as Alabama red.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: But a fun experience, a great stadium playing Dixie Land
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: to light and the fourth quarter was pretty cool just
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: being the music I am. All of it was badass.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So for the football game itself, man, hey, and there
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: was even some home cooking there was. There was about
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: three or four calls where it's like, oh, I guess
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: this is what Bama gets and they still came up short.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: So if you're Oklahoma, that was a must win. I
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: do feel now with the new playoff thing, now we
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: would kind of get those must win things, which is
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: kind of cool for the sport. You know, well, if
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: if you lose this one, you're out kind.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Of game that that's eliminators.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did have it in years prior, but it
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: was like done really quick into the year. There wasn't
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: kind of like, oh, coming down the stretch. If you win,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: you're still in. If you lose, you're out. We haven't
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: had that, so that's a good scenario for cultural.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Much less of them too, Yeah, much.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Less and fewer in the time for him could have
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: shifted drastically. But this was a must win for ou
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: and hey, you had you had to pick six or
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: defense pitch a shut down in the first quarter you're
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: up ten zero. But the defense really did their job
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: all day. They honestly should have had another interception for
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Bama's first touchdown, but there was a mysterious pi for
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma fans and I'm not even I don't I'm not
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a diehard either way. I respect both teams, but seeing
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the replay, it was like a questionable call, but they
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: called in. Bama scored, but man, just a stout defense
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the whole half. Matier did have that one nice like
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Heisman run where he literally ran off like four tackles
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: and scored, which was a cool play to see. But
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: he didn't f it up. Chris, he didn't do anything stupid.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: And Tympsen, who was pretty hard on start of the year,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and you know he's had a great year. He only
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: he's only had one pick going into that game a
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: couple of days ago, did have his best game in fairness,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Now you can't say those that And and I love
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I do love the Bor. I think the bor is
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: a mastermind, offensive genius. But for two years now he's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: gone to play Oklahoma and Venables has kind of owned
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: him quite a bit. And because that last year in
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma that really put Alabama down.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And now they last year what was it like twenty
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to thirty or something like that, twenty forty three or
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: something like that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: And now you go into tuscalooser where they'd won seventeen
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: home games in a row, and you literally you you
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you you pitched, you pitched nine endings, two hits, one run,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: like they that the game plan they have defensively for
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: how they played Bama was excellent and it got yeah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and then seeing it cheer and just the cheer and
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the fun. I could keep going on. But it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a great trip and hey, I got cou win. So
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: my friends were all super happy and it was a
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: fun home.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That second half, you know, they had missed the
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: field goal as well, had a nice drive, missed the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: field goal, had some turnovers, Like you said, it pick six,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: But when it was twenty one to twenty, I thought
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they had kind of stabilized it. And then you know,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they forced a punt, but then they had a three
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and out and they forced another three and out and
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they had a fumble. You know, it's just and then
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: another three and out and one of these three and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: outs was negative two yards, you know what I mean. Yeah,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: And now their defense, who's been just pretty good. It
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is good, but it's not like great. They you know,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: they got them off the field again thirteen play drive,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: turnover on downs and like you said, Matier, I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: know about the Heisman stuff, but I understand what you're saying.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Run that run.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I just have what you're saying. And he made a
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: couple more really good jukes too. But you know, he
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: had twenty three yards rushing, so I wouldn't get you know, now,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: of course their sacks involved, but he did what he
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: had to do and they had that fun. Wasn't there
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a fumble? Two? Like a week or so ago, they
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: put three on the ground, lost two and they Alabama
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: during that eight winning I think it was eight in
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: a row. They've been really good on the turnover differential.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've been wonning teams and like you said,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it knocked off there the longest home streak after Alabama
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: knocked off Georgia's earlier that thirty three game. I think
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: this was seventeen, right, yeah, seventeen. Yeah, and now Indiana
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: has fifteen or sixteen or something like that. So that's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the new the new one. So yeah, man, like Shotstaus Oklahoma,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: you know we said that. You know, there was a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: low trouble there for a second. They lost its year
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: and even when he came back, they didn't look good
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: against Texas and he thought, oh man, you know it
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: was a good run. But are they gonna fall apart?
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: And here they are eight to they have winnable games
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to close the season. You know, the letdown spot is there.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: But with that defense, and as long as Materia doesn't
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: you know, throw some kind of crazy stuff like he did,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: like you just did enough in this game, Yeah, they
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: should get in, as long as you know, they got
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to win the two. But if they go ten to
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: two during this schedule, and sure you can say, oh,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know LSU is not gonna be ranked, or you
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: could say some of the other you know, you never
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: know what it looks like until you get done with
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the season for who's ranked and who's not. But they
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: had a tough schedule. Only Florida had a tougher schedule,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and it says a lot. And they really needed their
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: offense to do enough this year. And I really hope,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm assuming material will come back because they still can
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: improve the offensive line, they can improve the pass game,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the run game. There's a lot that they can do
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: because you know, they're always now going to have a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: pretty damn good defense. So given the head coach, so yeah,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: things are looking up. Speaking about looking up, A and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: M just signed an extension to their head coach, Elko,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And it would have looked really silly for you know,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a day or two if they would have got blown
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: out by South Carolina who almost beat you know, almost
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: beat Bama not long ago. But or no, it wasn't Bama.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was Bama, right? Was it also Texas? Or
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: was it Texas? Am I am? I screwing that up right? Anyway?
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: The super close Yeah, they played them close, right, So
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: yeah they were up in the fourth quarter. Yeah yeah,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I just so They're up thirty to three at half,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: and I'm so glad I wasn't like watching the game
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: with somebody that likes the bet, just randomly, because if
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: someone would have at me said hey, Chris, Texas A
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: and M is gonna win this game at half, they
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: would have said that to me, I would have bet
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: a lot of money. Thirty won the thirty. They almost
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: fucked it up the Aggies who couldn't run the ball.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: They only got sixty four yards. I mean it was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: it was a tail of two halfs obviously, but Marcel
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Reid played his worst game and then his best game.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: They almost messed it up. Though they were so close
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to messing it up. They did a trick play that
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: went wrong. South Carolina got the fumble, they still had
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the ball with the drive to go get a field goal.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: But it's just unbelievable. I still can't believe it happened.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: They had two hundred yard receivers, they were dropping balls
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: like it was just crazy in that scenario in the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: SEC since two thousand and four, teams were zero in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: two eighty six when trailing by twenty seven points and
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: they got it done. I mean, the third quarter of
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the threw up stats like two forty to forty nine
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: for yardage look at this Marcel Reid six of nineteen
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and two picks for a buck forty one in the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: first half, second half sixteen of twenty two ninety eight,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: three tudies. I just, I still just I still can't
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: believe it, Marshall. I really I thought we were going
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: to get the top two teams and then and dam
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of that day go down.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Dude, I mean, I guess that's why you never quit
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: in a game. But to me, I guess the most
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: surprising part was granted, when we went to like a
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: pregame like barbecue bash. Oh, incredible brisk at Jesus and
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: free drinks. But when we left the barbecue thing, it
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: was thirty to three. And then I heard someone say
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: it the game next to me when like before kickoff,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: they're like, oh South Carolina loss, and we're like, huh,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And they did, Lewis, but Chris, they lost the lead
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: with ten minutes left in the fourth quarter. So that's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: one thing where hey, you're down three to three, maybe
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you scoring the last play of the game. Maybe it's
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a walk off field, but maybe it's a walk off touchdown. Dude,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: you almost race your whole read within one quarter. Clearly
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Adam and Elko have a great defense. But if you're
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, how do you completely like your foot is
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: on the gas like you started driving backwards like that
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to me was the part where we're like, dude, you
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: had read tied up in a knot like offense was moving,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: defense was having some great pick and returns. Like to
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: have such a role reversal. I know the win happened
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: is crazy, but I would thought it would have been
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: a progressive second half now like a one quarter and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden fourth quarter. Now, yeah, they had
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: the lead with ten minutes left. So if you're South Carolina, man,
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: that's a tough one to stomach. I don't know how
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: you do. This is a team crystough that going into
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: the year a lot of people thought could be a
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: playoff contender because you had a quarterback. Everyone loves a
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: good coach, like you know, last year you were inches
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: away from making the playoffs, and this year it's just
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: kind of been a disaster from the start with sellers
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: getting hurt, having some tough losses. But if your ain
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: m uh, this could be one of those hey looking
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: back a m wins the title this year and look
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: back like This was that last little lynch pin that
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: made them the special team they are. I'm not saying
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: AM is gonna win it, but they could.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We kind of look at it both ways, you know,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: is it is it the thing that you see cracks
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: or is it what you just said? And I think
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: you can make an argument for both, because yeah, just
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: buy a cop like you can never not believe, right, Yeah, you.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Know, the biggest the biggest variable for most of these teams,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: as I've been saying a lot for the last couple
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: of weeks, like I think you know, Texas Tech has
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: the defense to win it, Indiana has got the pieces,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Ohio State's kind of a full piece team, Alabama's yeah, pretty,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah, every team kind of has a little
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: bit pros and cons. For A and M, I guess
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the con will be is that can this quarterback when
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: you three or four games in a row. That's the everyone.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Every time I ever hear anyone talk about A and M,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, Marcel Reid, like, what's what kind of
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: guy is the It's like, if, like you said, you
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: watch the film, like is that a quarterback thing? When
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: you when you and Addie, if you have that disaster
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: of a first half at home.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Probably not all year long. He's played really well though. Yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: this was was in bounced from last year.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe this was the one true hiccup, which again is
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: also fair. So yeah, crazy game. Uh, I wish I
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: would alive bet the A and m Aggie's at halftime
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: because that probably would have been plus plus two thousand,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: plus three thousand something like that, because that way been
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: similar to the Vikings against the Giants, when the Vikings
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: were down twenty seven to three three or four years
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: ago at home and they beat the Giants. It was
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: really the Colts.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, the biggest comeback in NFL history?
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Was it twenty eight three?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: There's more than that? Oh yeah, I think it was,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: like I think it was close to this. Okay, okay, yeah,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: so thirty thirty one to three or something like that.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: But hey, you got the dub, So hats I mean,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: hats off to him. You shook it off again. Well
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: just yeah, that is hard to fadhim.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: So Georgia smacked the shit out of the Longhorns. They
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: didn't run a ton, but they ran enough, and they
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: more importantly didn't let any kind of that improvement in
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: the run game lately from Texas come to fruition seventeen
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: carries twenty three yards. Obviously, sacks play a part of that.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Gunner Stockton very efficient, twenty four to twenty nine, four tuddies.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Of course he's gonna run a little bit too. Nate
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: Frasier is a damn good running back. They just, you know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: smart about a lot of seven tackles were lost, a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: lot of physicality and we're a physical team. And he's
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: had players lead because they didn't like the physicality where
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: you know, not every player that left was probably because
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the physicality. But sure it rang true to an extent,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that's for sure. And I think it's like twelve straight
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: now at home against top ten teams ap top ten teams.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I think it's something like eighty six rushing yards or
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: eighty three rushing yards now in three games the long
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Horns against Georgia, you know, they started fast against a
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: ranked team, and that's something that they really haven't done. Yeah,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: they had a good week last week, but it wasn't
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: against a ranked team. And we'll see where the Longhorns
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: now with three losses fall because they got their ass whooped.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Now it's you know it is what it is. On
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the road. It's against Georgia, but gotta figure George gonna
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: be fourth. I mean, this Georgia is really starting to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: take shape. Before we hit record on the podcast, I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: talked to Marshall about the plus thousand right now to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: win the chip, so I put just a little bit
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of money. This is right around late November is usually
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: when I place my bets for the national champion. I've
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: won three in a row now, so this one's just
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a light bet. I don't know my other bet just yet.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Georgia, man, they're peaking at the right time.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know Bama. They they lost to Bama.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Georgia beat Old Miss like, so the tie breakers are
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: it got more interesting, let's put it that way than
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: you know. And now you know, like Bama has to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: watch out not this week, but next week. They're going
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to Auburn, and Auburn is talent and shit happens in
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: that rivalry.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: So oh hey, I stuck. I sucked to my word
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and I bought Auburn fans of beer. I was like, yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I've had a tough year. I'm buying yellow. Why stay
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: on the show. I bought two milleral lives, but that
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: still counts for something. Chris, I sucked to my word.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Nice nice, but.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, just the Georgia point. We both predicted this one.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I think I My exact cool was, I think George
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: is down at half and comes back to win the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: second half by like ten or twelve. So I kind
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: of just let Georgia. I discredit him a little bit,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: but ay that that's a good team.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: If Kirby kicks a field goal against Bama and doesn't
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: you know, go for an on fourth to one, who
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: knows they may be winning Tuscaloosa.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not a dogs fancas. Every time I bet them,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: they always lose in the big games, So screw him.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: But that's a good squad. Are they gonna win the title?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know, But that's good value that you have
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: because on a given day, with the experience that have
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: and kind of the grit that team has, they're not
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: gonna be easy to tap out, whether they play Indiana,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Ohio State, whoever. They might lose, but they're not gonna
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: get punched in the mouth and just sit down. So
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I think that was a game that we you know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Texas had gotten a little bit of hype lately for
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: like the wins and the wind streak they had. They
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: beat Vandy, but I really think the Bandy win was
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: just a perfect leadown spot for Vandy a little to
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: discredit Texas has win in my opinion. And then you
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: beat Mississippi State in kind of a crazy comeback in
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: the fourth course, So like those are okay wins, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: not like elite and he kind of played a higher
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: level team kind of got smacked again. So sadly, it's
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: probably just a tough year of experimentation with arch Manny
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: playing quarterback. But if they do somehow beat A and M,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: which as we've seen, is not bulletproof, maybe they get
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: that talk for can they seek in That would be
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: an interesting debate for the committee. I'm not saying they
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: will walk in A and M because I don't think
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Texas has done enough to prove that they can. Yeah,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: kind of just a tough year for Texas because going
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: into the year you had a Heisman hopeful and pretty
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: promising season. Now again, if you beat A and M,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you're still not. It wasn't a horrible season, but I
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: don't think what the Texas fans expected.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if they're nine and three, Like I said last week,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: if they're nine and three, you got to take a
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: look at because it's all about whatever other stuff happens too. Yes, yes,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: that's the thing. I think people get ahead of themselves,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and I don't know like well, I suppose like fans
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: that get it, media members, they just need to take
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a deep breath. I understand we're only in the second
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: year of this expended twelve team playoff, but November was
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: always fucking nuts anyway, so we always anticipated this or
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that and then the shit would just fall apart. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: so now having more spots, at least ten of them,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: you know, because you have the nonpower, and then some
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: of the team, like the ACC champ will come up
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: or whatever, so you gotta be you gotta be in
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: the top ten. So yeah, it's man, there's still so
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: much in two weeks that can happen. And we just
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: got an example of a bunch of almosts and it
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: took a miracle comeback for one of them. Now I'm
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: not saying, you know, A and M would have been
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: out of the race or anything, but it would have
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: just shifted stuff. So speaking of just hanging on though,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a couple of things we'll talk about with Old Miss.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: They outgained them by a lot. Florida. They had a
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: fifteen play seventy three yard seven minute drive that was
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: turnover on downs. They had a fourteen play sixty five
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: yards six point thirty one that was a turnover on downs.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Now lucky for them, well not lucky. They did something
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: about it. Obviously down the stretch when Florida was up
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty. You know, you had a four
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and out, a three and out, leven play drive, interception,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a turnover on downs, and a turnover and downs for
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: the Gators. We know they're legit defensively, but man, there
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: was just I kind of started thinking, like, well, what
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the hell is going on? Like they do underachieve against
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: teams that they should beat cleanly. Shambliss had a good game,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: and then obviously Lacy was Dynamite had a monster game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: But in the background, we've now heard from LSU and Florida.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say we've heard from the schools. There's reports
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: out from two decent sources. I'd say that his family's
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: gotten to LSU in Florida, and there's a new report
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: out somewhat recently today that they're given old Missus given
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen, who we always like to talk about on
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: the show, basically an ultimatum like, hey, dude, you got
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: to side by the egg bowl because we got to
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: make a decision, which I think is fair. Let's start
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: on the field. Then you can give your thoughts off
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the field because we might be in a scenario or
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: a head coach doesn't finish the year. True, but I
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't go right there with it. I think that you
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: could tell your team, hey, I am gonna go, but
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: I'm finishing it. You know. Yeah, how will that make everything?
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: You know? That's gonna be funky? Because it's not like
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: a coordinator on an NFL team, you know what I mean?
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: A little different?
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know it's one of those things too
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: where if you know, if if anyone in any job
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: of life gets six offers, it's like, dude, I love
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: my job, but I now have like maybe five or
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: six offers, Like it's hard to say no, it all
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: five or six. And I think what Kiffin's Don't Miss
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: has been phenomenal that this is the best the program
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: has been consistently for a couple of years in a row,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and I think he does love there. I don't think
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: he's full shit when he says that. But if you
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: get offered, offer, offer offered, you know eventually you're like,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: well maybe sometimes grass is greener, you know, it's just
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: people are human. So I hope he stays. I do,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: but if he leaves, I can you know, I really
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: know things about the money, Chris, because all this is
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: gonna pay him what he wants to get paid. Maybe
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: LSU offers him like an extra five hundred thousand, but like,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's the money. I guess it'd be
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: maybe just the name of what LSU shows on the
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: on a Jersey.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So in the state in which you can recruit on Yeah,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: but I will say this, like he's been to a
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: blue bubb before. It didn't go good at USC. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to your point, this is three ten win season in
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: a row and they have four out of the last five.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Last year they underachieved, Sure, but they're right back in
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: it and they're gonna make the playoffs. Knock on wood,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: they're gonna make a playoffs, so they have to really
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: shit the bed. True, But what the fuck is LSU
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: thinking right now? As far have you heard about what
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: LSU and the whole All of a sudden, they're trying
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: to act like they don't owe him the money. Have
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: you heard about that, Brian Kelly? I guess they negotiated
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: with them, trying to cut the contract down of what
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: they owe. Oh tried to get to twenty five. They
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: tried to get the thirty and he's like, nah, dude,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the contract says what it says. And then they said, well,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: actually we didn't fire you, so now we can fire
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: you for you know, some sort of insubordination in a sense.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: It's like, what, so I think he's suing LSU? Like,
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: to me, that would be a huge red flag if
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: you sign a contract, and especially nowadays with this money
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: floating around, if you're trying to get out of paying
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: what you owed to a coach, that's not a good look. Yeah,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: that's what's happening right now. I don't know if you
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: missed the reports or whatever, but it's crazy. I can't
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: they literally like, well, you're not fired. Actually you're actually
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: not fired. Nobody fired you, so technically speaking, you're at
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: breach of year contract. It's like, what what are you
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: talking about? You know? Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. And the governor's involved, that's great,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: But honestly, do you really want the governor involved? I
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: don't think so, yeah, I don't think, like I know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it's you know, I know, different states have different things
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: that have the state. Obviously LSU is a big thing
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to the state. I'm not sure, but yeah, it's pretty funky, dude.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So I wonder if that plays into the decision at all,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: because they're not even cut. They made the decision to
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: fire his ass, so yeah, pay his ass out or negotiate,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: will pay you over ten years or something. That's fine,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: But yeah, anyway, didn't mean to break that up. Yeah,
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: we'll see where that where that goes. But I could
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: also see Ole miss saying, hey, dude, you got to
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: make a decision, you know, because we got to be
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: able to we got to be able to move, you know.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So but money wise, as far as roster building, he's
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: they're right there, neck and neck with anybody, So honestly,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: i'd probably stay and they're not. They're not thinking national
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: championship every four years either, like LSU is, you know, true,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, man, it's kind of crazy, so
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame smack pit around. They got up pretty quick
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: twenty one to three. Love you know does what Love does,
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some kind of spin move and dude's like a human joystick,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: like he's he's literally like in a video game. Georgia
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Tech just somehow snuck by a wolful team in Boston College.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Their defense is it's just rough, but they keep doing it.
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: And then I also want to talk about USC rallying
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to beat Iowa because usually in this this, you know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: the record bears this out. When Iowa gets up on
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: you double digits, they tend to win those games. And
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: I liked how they got back. I think, Marshall, it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: a it's in the in the last few years. I
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: don't think you guys win that game. I think you
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: lose that game, and it shows you that next year.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like they're aiming. I mean, they're still in
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: this right now. Obviously they got a big game coming up,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: but I'm saying overall, I really like where they're headed
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: as a program. They're eighty three and five Iowa. Oh shit,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it's eight points. So when they're up since twenty fifteen,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: when they're up by eight points, they're eighty three and five.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Holy shit, I thought that was double digits. Anyway, let's
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: talk about some of those games, sir.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I obviously the Pick game would have been a fun
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: win for them at home. I did think it was
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: weird that the coach like literally said, like, we want
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: to win this game. Doesn't affect our playoffs, our ACC chances.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: That is kind of weird for what to say publicly,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: especially when.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: You say I don't care if we lost by one
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: hundred and ten to three, Like, are you sure.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: We're still we're still in the running for the ACC.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: That yeah, and Notre Dame kind of punched them, but
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: that was big for Notre Dame. Because Notre Dame lost that,
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: their playoff chances would have been dead. So it was
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: a good win for the Irish.
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: There.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Running back game continues to be strong, So that's a
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: nice dub there. Uh. Georgia tech man, they're such a
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: fun team. I think everyone loves Haynes King unless you're
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: maybe like a Georgia Bulldogs fan. They're That offense is
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: legit really good. But that defense, yeah, you're that defense
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: ain't gonna win you a national title.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But if they made the playoffs, making them you know,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: it's really just getting the playoffs. That's all you gotta do.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that'd be a that they They probably won't
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: win a title, but they could ruin someone's chances of winning.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: A title and you can get better. You know, Yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: that could help the program if that guy stays he's coaching,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: which I I don't know, you know.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, if you're looking to hire people. Uh,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Brent Brent Key is a pretty top guy. And that
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: that dude has like an underdog underdog coach. He's like
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: fifteen and four, Like I mean, that dude's a phenomenal.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: He may fill in for something that a high level
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: coach moves from, you know what I mean?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Yes, and hey for USC, hey again we were I
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: was cheering in Tuscaloosa, but hey, that very solid win.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: I have a nice job. Twenty three or thirty two
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: for two fifty four in a touchdown. Uh, you're right,
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: that is the game where USC normally doesn't come back
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: from to win. I was always a scrappier team, a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: little more fiscal than you could say US has been
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: in years past. And it really does come down to
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: this weekend where it can they win? You know that
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: that Oregon game is huge. If they lose it, they're out.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: If they win, they they then you're then your years
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: looking really fancy, looking really good. Uh So I am
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: happy USC won that game against Iowa. That you're right,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: it has changed in the right direction and it keeps
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: showing that you're taking inches of working your way up
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: the deal to have that defense get a little more physical,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: get a little bit better, because that defense has had
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: issues for the last handful of years, and you know
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: whatever really would call USC a physical football team. But
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I think you're seeing that mold and change and they're
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: gonna get a good test against Oregon this week. So
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: that was a very nice dub.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: We haven't mentioned this team yet because well, their defense
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: is really freaking good, but they showed out they didn't
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: have a sleep box. Texas Tech my sleeper pick to
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: win the title. I guess you could say forty eight
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: to nine win. So they whooped the UCF's ass and
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: that was a just you know, they're normally in college football, Cchris,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: there's only teams that just take care of business. So
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Texas Tec did that. And Utah, who's probably a little
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: couple dollars short, to go into the party. Besides their
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: losses to Texas, second Boau have been on like a
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: rampage lately. They beat Baylor fifty five to twenty eight. Again,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: they might need a little bit of lady luck. But
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: I guess Utah's playing really good football and they're eight
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: and two this year, which is a great record. In
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: they're raked thirteenth, but I don't know if they're gonna
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: have enough to sneak in the door now if they
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: do make it again talk about one of the most
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: elite coaches in football. Yeah, Utah is on a cruising path.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: It's just they've had their two best games turned out
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: to be L's and that might be too much for
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: them to overcome. Even though the ranking Chris tells you
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: at thirteen, maybe they got a chance.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of in between on that ranking based
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: off their wins too.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: True.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a little a little shaky with that, to
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: be honest with you. But we'll see how it pans out.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Speaking of taking Garrett business BYU took their first l
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: didn't look back forty four to thirteen. Miami faced a
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: high powered offense and they finally like said, nah fuck
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: that not not just defense, but just in general. And
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: they just dominated NC State. I thought that could be tricky.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Michigan had five turnovers and I think at least one,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: if not two, miss field goals and they somehow still won.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Feel bad for Northwestern their Virginia took care of business
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: at Duke thirty four to seventeen. That was a big win.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: They did get that Morris back. He went for three
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: hundred Taylor, they got a good running back to Navy.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Navy beat South Florida. It looked like South Florida being
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: the ranked team, and if you look at the quarterback Brown,
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: he had a great day, you know, like it looked
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: the part. But it was just a wild game and
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: South Florida kept coming back in the game and making
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: it look like they were gonna do something. Cincinnati, who
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: was recently ranked, they got beat by Zona who's now
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: seven and three. It's his quality year. I'd have to say,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: like you said, Tech Tech definitely taking care of business.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: That Clemson Louisville game was crazy. Clemson gotta win. Just
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: a little staff from Haines King. He has accounted for
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: thirteen hundred and thirty total yards in the last three games.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: He Since October twenty fifth, he's averaged four hundred and
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: forty three yards, the fourth most recent QBS to average
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: two hundred yards passing in at least ninety yards rushing.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: You have Haines King, you have Daniels, you have Hurts,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: and you have two years worth twenty sixteen and seventeen
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson. So it tells you what he's doing.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: You know, he's definitely it's definitely a great college player
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and it's something that you know, he's just a memorable player.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about him since last year when he
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: was healthy. Last year. They're just a different team. So yeah,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: it it's pretty crazy. But dude, that ACC. Like I said,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: the only thing you can really depend on in the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: ACC is if george Tech wins, they're in. But other
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: than that, if Pitt beats Georgia Tech, Pitt could also
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: play Miami right there, you know, so they have Miami too,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: so Pitt could really make some Hey, but if they
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: lost to Miami, SMU in Virginia would be the two
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: teams in the ACC title game. So if they beat
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech but then lose to Miami, that would be
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: a scenario for SMU, the Mustangs are effectively eliminated from
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: the ACC title game contention. If they lose to Louisville,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: they got Louisville or Cow, so they got a win
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: both of those, because if they lose one of those,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: they're screwed. I mean, I could go on. There's a
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: tiebreaker with winning percentage with Louisville and SMU and Virginia.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I could go for a while. When it
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: comes to if SMU wins out and Virginia loses, the
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, SMU and Georgia Tech would be in the
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: championship game. I mean, there's just so many scenarios. I'm
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: not even touching the surface. But I mean, we knew
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it was looking like the Coastal Division and the ACC
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: is basically, although there's a kind of crazy Big twelve
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: second place. If BYU did lose, there'd be like a
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: five way tie per second, so that's pretty crazy. But
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: we're seeing basically what took place in the Big Twelve
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: is now in the ACC, and it's been evident for
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: like the last month.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Marshalls, Yeah, and it just makes it for fun. It
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: makes what we do enjoyable. Unless you're a fan of
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: those teams. You're pulling your heartstrings down every week, you know.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: But yeah, all those scenarios occurred Louisville if they freaking
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: they share a freaking beat, dabble. That game pissed me off.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: That Clemson muffs the punts and they can't even move
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: They Louisville takes the stupidest penalties of the worst times.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: But moving on. Yeah, they man, they really And that's
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: weird too because there's such I have so much respect
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: for brom Normally a poorly penalized team is his representation
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: of a coach. But anyways, yeah, it is wide open again.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I think we're kind of just hoping Georgie Tech makes
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: it to see their coach upset someone and to see Hanks.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: King the one sixty eight saying I need them to
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: get there.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that works too, SMU could they go two
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: years in a row, that'd be a good story. Your
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: your hurricane chances aren't done yet.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: They're chilling.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: They're still in it. Uh yeah, and Duke still has
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: a voice to be heard in the whole thing with
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: how they've been playing this year. Yeah, and then just
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: as crazy, everyone keeps saying hold my beer in the
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: American Conference because for a while they are Memphis is
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: gonna go to the playoff game be the top team.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: And then for a while it was South Florida Yeah, and.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Then it became Memphis. And then Memphis beat South Florida,
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: which was okay, then turned around and beat them yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: and then their defense for got to sign up for
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: thirty minutes and football game verslane, which is a bad idea, Chris,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I must say, very bad. We dinna take that. Oh shit,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: coach were we were at party last night, sir, my bad?
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Which is I think the best way to put that
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: without swearing. Uh. And now Navy, who would start the
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: yours pretty whole home quiet is now six and one
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: leon the count like something about that. And North Texas's
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: offense can just score points to well, I think their
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: defense ain't that worth a ship? But like who, American
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Conference is a hot mess, as kids would say nowadays,
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and so is the ACC. Uh, so something will occur there.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: The only outside rumor people sometimes speculate is could JM
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: you go watch JMU play Indiana. That'd be kind of
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a fun one for Cinnetti, you know, But I think
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: it's probably gonna be an American Conference team making it
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: for the at large bid. But if they keep being
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: each other and keep losing, the committee is gonna be
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: in a weird spot. They're probably saying, why can't Boise
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: be good as usual and just give it to Boise?
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: But it's not the case this year.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was really easy last year because they naturally
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: made it in the top ten.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, and that UNLV team was a nice record kind
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: of all year. There their wins, they're they're kind of
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a team, a little bit of
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: shadiness because their win last record is not quite as
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: good as their stats show.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So they they had that great loss to Oregon, you know,
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: so that's something they could hold their head on the
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: whole the whole year.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So something's got to give in the a c
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: C and the a C And that's why we enjoyed
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: college football. The SEC. It's it's well, I shouldn't say
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: it's not set up, because the SEC title game could
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: still be pretty wide open too, because you have A
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: and M at seven and zero, Georgia's seven and one,
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Old Miss six and one, Bama six and one. Yes,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: there are tie breakers involved there, but you know A
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: and M could lose to Texas and George, then you
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: have Georgia Old. Yeah, they've all kind of played each
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: other beat each other up. So we'll be curious to
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: see if if A and M, Georgia, Old Miss, and
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: Bama all finished like uh with one loss. I'm sure
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: there are tie breakers to designed, but that would make
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: for definitely some interesting touch. And then are you gonna
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: have the committee saying, ah, man that Texas school, Well
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: they have three losses, but they beat A and M.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: So who And then there's the well they're always gonna get.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. True, they have two wins over over playoff teams,
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: so that the.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: SEC still has some cards to play out. There're gonna
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: get as many teams in as we thought a few
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: weeks ago.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: But it but don't if you're Vando.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you if you're Vanning, you went out like mate,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it's a small it's Bokito. It's a small chance. But
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: maybe vany wins out they could sneak in if oh
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: you were Texas have a slip up. So and they're
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: kind of in that why I wouldn't put them as
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: sample as Utah. They're raking is, but I think they're
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: much bet team in Utah, especially with the ones they have. Yeah,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: so a lot of we don't have much time left,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: but there's still enough weeks of football left to have
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: some craziness occur. And unless your team is literally Indiana,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: Ohio State and probably Georgia State.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Has a Michigan problem, still hold on.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but but those Indiana House there are pretty much
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: locks to make the tournament. Besides, yeah, yeah, even if
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: they lose, the Alabama and Georgia probably in probably well probably.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: But at no for sure, uh I think for sure
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Georgia okay, yeah, because they gotta they basically got a
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: bye week.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, oh yeah, yeah they're playing. They lose their
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, that's not a bad loss. Yeah. So besides
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: those three, everyone else is still a little scary, a
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: little scary because what if Bama loses to Auberty, it
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: loses the a cc SEC title game. You know, so
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun drama that will ensue, which makes
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: the show uh even better, my friend.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of people being at this so
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: new we keep hearing, oh you like like old Miss
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: up until Bama lost, like Ole Miss is in a
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: good spot where they'll get to host the team or
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: host the game in round one, but they won't have
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: to go to the SEC play that extra game. But
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: we keep hearing about this extra game. We heard that
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: last year too. First of all, let's let this we
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: don't have enough data on this stuff yet for what's
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: the best route, you know. And the reason why I
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: say that is because when you keep people Marshall keep
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: saying this extra game, Well, if you are not in
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: your in the big on average, let's just say, on average,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: the SEC and the Big ten teams on average, not
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: every time, but on average are probably gonna get a bye.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Probably not every not every year because there's gonna be
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: an unefeated team or whatever, right, or maybe there'll just
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: be a bunch of more than we think two loss
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: teams or whatever, but on average they'll get a bye.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: So people keep talking about this extra game. But it's
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: an extra game if you don't have a bye, so
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: you're still playing. You have to play four instead of three,
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: So it's not an extra game. It's really not.
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Now you can make an argument for the team like
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think Indiana, and I'm not sure I don't
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: think the SEC this year either. What they dropped because
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: we saw how A ranked them. Even Penn State, who
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: had one loss, got knocked in Texas. If you look
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: at it with the new seating, they weren't out of
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: their buy They got knocked out of their bye because
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: of the way you know it was seated. But it's
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: not seated like that anymore. So Indiana or Iowa State
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: are gonna be a top four team no matter who
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: wins that game if they're both undefeated, right, I mean,
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think that would be A and then I
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: if they're If it's an undefeated A and M and
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: A one loss team, I doubt they'll knock those teams out.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: So we just keep hearing about Okay, well you get
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: you know, the people that lose a game, you could
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: say they're only gonna get two week break instead of
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: a three. Okay, that's fair. But a lot of times
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: you're gonna get three weeks off because you're gonna have
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: a buye. So that whole knee jer thing that I
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: hear about it's an extra game, Well, it's an extra
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: game in the playoffs, dude, So either way you're playing
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: it an extra game, you know, I don't know, it's
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: something that we need more data on before we start
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: to concrete and say well, this is actually what you want.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: And then we keep hearing from media members they shouldn't
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: even play in the game, they should play the reserves.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Like what what do you so? You think you should
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: not play in that game? Like it makes no you're
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: still playing an extra game. I don't understand why people
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: don't have that in their head because I keep hearing
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Ohio State Indiana shouldn't even play in that game. First
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: of all, what do you mean they shouldn't even play?
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: What will the committee do if they don't play? You
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: can't forfeit. You can't forfeit a You can forfeit a
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: game and all that, but you can't like, so you
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: play your second strings like it doesn't make any fucking sense.
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: You think Indiana doesn't want to win the Big Ten?
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: No shit, are you out of your fucking mind? You
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: even look at Day he didn't win the Big Ten
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: last year. You don't think he wants to be the
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: number one seed. It's just it's silly to me. And
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: this is just whether it's sports or politics, that's where
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: we're at right now. It's just the knee jerk. I'm
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: gonna say something, whether they believe it or not. I
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: think I hope a lot of these people don't believe
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: what they say, but that's just what we're the media
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: we live in. I did want to bring a positive
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: thing here. North Texas is ranked in the eight people
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: for the first time since nineteen fifty nine, snapping the
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: longest active streak between pole appearances that now falls to
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: New Mexico State, the last ranked in nineteen sixty and
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: then Rice was last in nineteen sixty one. That's pretty Yeah,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: that's a pretty cool stat and that's why I love
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: college football too, where you just got all these like
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: what the fuck? How could that happen? You know? So yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: let's let's get to it. USC at Oregon obviously Oregon
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: one of the tougher places to play. Just asked my gofers,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: we couldn't. Well, actually, you know what, had we spoiled them,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: they probably would turn around and beat you guys, because
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: they've been up and pissed. True, so you know, opened
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: up around nine and a half nine, I see it
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: at ten. Now, you know, USC in that Notre Dame game,
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: they had a point in that game. I think it
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: was in the third quarter where they went up and
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: you're thinking, oh shit, dude, USC might do this. They
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: had a bad pick, they had a fucking even worse
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: turnover fumble from the wide receiver who's the stud, but
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He liked frozen there, and they had
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: a king off return and then they lost by ten.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: So in both of those drives, maybe one of them
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: was a field goal, maybe one's a touchdown.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: You just never know.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: So my point is they in that fucking game. They
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: didn't get over the hump, but they were in it.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: What says you about this because right now they did.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: I know for a fact because I saw him kick
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: our ass. Sadik is back the tight end and he
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: is there like they got a red shirt. Or now
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: they got a freshman who's a stud, and they have
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: that steward who hasn't played this year. Hopefully they get
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: him back at some point like in the playoffs, you know,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: for Oregon's sake anyway. But Sadiq's back and he didn't
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: look too happy being back against us. He destroyed us.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: But what says you in this game? Because it's a
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: ten point underdog, I think you have the horses to
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: hang with him. But man, when you see what Oregon
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: did on the ground to Iowa in the rain and
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: all that shit. Now USC just played in the rain.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's gonna be rainy here or not.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: It's Oregons, you know. A couple of days before they
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: were saying it was gonna rain, you know, for our
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: for our game the Gophers. But you know, maybe wayman
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: Jordan can come back finally he didn't play in the
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: last game. That would be huge at running back. Like
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: I said, Miller is a damn good runner. Man, He's awesome.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: It's a great story, King Miller. But it'd be nice
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: to get a little one two punch with a stud.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: But what says you in this one?
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: Can they pull this? What would be a pretty big upset,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: especially at Oregon.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: This this would be one of the bigger wins we've
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: had in ages. I really only said, I've only had
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: one huge win in forever. That was the Sam Darnold
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Rose Bowl. So this would definitely be up there. I
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: just from having the flashbacks to that Notre Dame game,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: they really ran the ball down our throat kind of effortlessly.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: It was just gash run, gash run, gash run, so
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: I think the lightest scrimmage battle for USC's front seven
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: scares me. I guess to slightly counteract that, you can't
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: say in Iowa's biggest toughest games, their offense hasn't done much.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: They scored. Their offense scored thirteen points against Indiana because
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: there was a pick six. They scored I believe, fourteen
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: points in regulation versus Penn State to win at ot
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: seventeen scored difference, Yeah yeah, and then you scored eighteen
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: at Iowa. Now, grant the weather in Iowa was a
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: different beast, but they're their offense I wouldn't say has
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: been explosive versus top tier teams. So you can maybe
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: juggle those points together to cancel each other out. But
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: I just this is a game that for the past wow,
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty years, because I'll go back to four that
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: USC just hasn't won. Besides that Rose so like they're
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: they're always, they're never like the bottom of the barrel.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: But they just seem to lose this game due to
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: either dumb penalties or just be not as physical. Obviously
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: this is changing in the right direction, but still this
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: would be a huge, like kind of plant the flag
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: in the ground. Go Baker Mayfield on a game, because
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: this would be a big win for them. I think
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the quarterback definitely has the arm to win it. Uh
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: That King running back has been great. But this is
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: this is USC's biggest tests of the year. You know.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: They they had that game versus Northwestern where it was
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: North rustling a couple weeks ago where they had the
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: the quarterback who made the tackle and the goal right
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: before the halftime.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: That was Yeah, the biggest test was not Dane Yeah
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: so yeah.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: So but USC like they they've they've it. It seems
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: like Chris they've played in like spurts of halves, like
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: they've had great hals but not great complete games. To me, yeah,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: so can you afford to take a half off at Oregon?
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Normally the answer is no. So I think Oregon wins.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: I hope I'm wrong, but I just think with all
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: the USC knowledge and background my head, this is one
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: they come up a little bit short with just because
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: do they have the team in the trenches to get
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: the dub I don't think so. Again, I hope, I
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: hope they do win. That'd be awesome, but I just think, yeah,
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: I think I think the Ducks have it just because
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: I think the Ducks front seven on both sides of
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: the ball defeats USC's front seven.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: So that was twenty sixteen the last time they beat him.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at it.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, well they have beat Organ since twice. The cheese is.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Got I mean they didn't play him every year.
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, okay, you skip some years, but yeah,
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: because they Yeah, they bounced around a little bit.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: It was forty five to twenty with Donald.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's been a it's been a minute since
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: USC's Yeah, the Organ's always kind of had their number, unfortunately.
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's been besides that year, like you said,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: fifty four to or fifty two to forty nine that
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: year too to beat Penn State. Yeah, that's that's pretty crazy.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm going with Oregon two the plus ten. Now,
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know they they still don't have their on it.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: They may not have their best two ride receivers. I
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: want it. Well, I shouldn't say they're their best that's
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: played this year because Stewart, you could say, is their
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: best receiver, but he hasn't played. He got hurt in
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the offseason, got hurt in the spring. I think so,
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I don't he won't be back. But they have two
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: wide receivers out. They do have the tight end Sidiku's
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: probably their best pass catcher. But if they don't have
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: both those guys too, that does that does hurt them.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: And like you said, they have shown a little So
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at that plus ten number kind of eyeballing it,
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: keeping track of it, But I think Oregon will win. Uh.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: Pittsburgh goes to Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech obviously, you know,
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: huge offense. Two hundred and twenty four yards on the ground.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: They do give up a buck sixty six though on
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: the ground and two forty three through the air. Now
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: pitt gives up a lot through the air, but only
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: ninety yards rushing on the ground, so they will be
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: a good test there. But that one sixty six per
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: game that Georgia Tech gives up for rushing, pitt only
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: runs for a buck nineteen, So I don't know if
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to run with this new quarterback that
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: they have. It's usually just been airing the shit out
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: and it's worked really good, and they are active in
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: the red zone. I don't know. I'm going with Georgia
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Tech in this, maybe in overtime that minus two and
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: a half. I may just take the money line minus
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: one forty three and not even fuck with it because
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech can win by one point a bunch. It
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: feels like, So I'm gonna go with Georgia Tech. I'm
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: a little biased with it because I have a plus
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: one sixty eighth and they if they win this, they're
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: in the ACC Championship game, and I feel like they
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: have pretty good odds to win that game. Now, they
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: may have a very well they're gonna have a very
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: physical game the week before that against Georgia, but they're
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: a physical team in general. Just defense has just been
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: struggling for them. But Pitt is kind of loosey goosey
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: coming into this. What are your thoughts here? You think
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Pitt can maybe, I mean going off how the ACC is, Marshall,
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: Pitt's gonna pull the win here, just going off of
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: all the crazy shit that's happened.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: True, Yes, I would like the over. I know, up
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: until Notre Dame kind of punched him in the mouth,
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Pitt was averaging like forty points a game with new Kid,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: the new Kid quarterback, and I call him a kid
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: because he's a true freshman. Uh. And Georgia Tech has
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: a great offense, but their defense is trash. So I
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: think this. I think this would be a back and forth.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: I think it gets in the higher thirties, maybe forties.
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: So I like the over sixty two and a half
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: and I wouldn't man Jesus, Georgia Tech. Yeah there their heart.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, Chris, can we can we bet the
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: game will be tied in the fourth quarter or George.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: That's a bet I would definitely be involved with. Yeah,
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: I'm very confident in that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I I like the over, and I'll give
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: a slight atch Georgia Tech because coach Cancaniti wants you
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: still don't feel great as a team when you get
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: punched in your mouth at home on a game day.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: So I, ah, Jesus, yeah, this is all right. I'm
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: done over. Uh take the over. Take Georgia Tech to
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: probably win, not even cover that. That'd be true. Georgia
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Tech fashion went by one, so you don't cover the scread,
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: but you win the game. But I think this would
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: be a high scoring affair. And hey, if your pitt,
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: who the hell if I you were going to the
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: ACC title game this year, possibly like that was not
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: in many mock projections I saw this year. Chris so
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: pitts from me the three and seven spoiler that ruins
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: the season this year, That are seven and three, So
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: holy shit. ACC is always something.
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, they turned it into the coastal BYU visiting
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: Sincy since he dropped one last week that they needed
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: to win, but they're still alive. I mentioned that it
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: could be a four or five way tie if things
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: work out a certain way for second place, and we
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: know second place gets you into the championship game. You
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: know it's it's too and a half point game or
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: to and a half point spread. Uh, by Us the
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: favorite the fifty four and a half. I'd go over
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: with that too, but I'd say the biggest thing is
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: that stands out to me. They both run the ship
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: out of the ball. They could throw it, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: I would favorite BYU's defense a little more. And it's
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: about a thirty yard discrepancy from giving up rushing yards
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: a buck fifty eight per game compared to one twenty
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: nine or basically one thirty for BYU. So I just
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: feel like I don't know. I like both these quarterbacks.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: According to Fox FACTX, the Cougars zero have zero four
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: fumbles on the road. It's kind of weird stat The
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: bear Cancer interceptions though, are the fewest. They have the
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: fewest interceptions. I think it's just going to be a
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: track meet and I'm gonna go BYU. But I'm not that.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I just feel like they can still like they have rematch.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Even though they got beat cleanley, they have rematch on
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: their mind. And I think that some of these players
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: played I talked about this the last week. Some of
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: these guys played on an undefeated team last year, really
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: deep in the season again, so I think that there's
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: gonna be something to be said about that. But I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: am gonna go BYU. But it's a coin toss obviously,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: just with the odds.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: I think BYU loses here. This is kind of just
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: a tricky spot. I think Cincinnati has a great offense. Again,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: this is another closer.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: It makes sense because they just came off of bat
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: you know, losing Arizona, and then they be We're gonna
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: get our ship together and actually win, you.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, yeah, yeah, this would be one maybe like
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: a top three, maybe most fun matchup to watch this week,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: just with the scenario that's behind it. And again there's
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: we talked about the AAC and the ACC. This has,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: like you said, big implications for the Big Twelve because
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: that's still a wide open conference as well. See, I'm
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: just gonna I guess go. I mean, it's a minor
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: upset if you might like. But BYU is ranked pretty high,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: and yeah.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: So I'll eyther way. It says Utah would likely win
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: the tiebreakers, which would be wild though, because if b
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: YU beat them, wouldn't that be the first tiebreaker? I
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: don't know, I says, It says, that's not really that
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: you know, sure I didn't. I didn't do the detail,
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'll take I'll take the Bearcats that that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: that should be a fun game to watch. I will
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: definitely be locked in watching that one because I think
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: it'll be a very fun competitive game. I'd be shocked
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: if that's a blowout. I'll say that I think it'll
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: be a close game.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: Look, since these games, uh, they've they've pretty much been
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: a touchdown either way. And b YU they did get
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: punched by Texas Tech. But besides that, they've the event close. Yeah,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: so I'll take since he to win a close upset.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: There you go. So there's a chance that the Missouri
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: quarterback off of that really bad ankle injury might play.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: There's a report out. I don't know how valid it's
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: gonna be or whatever, but there is a report out
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: val he might play. It's a mite. I don't know
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: if it's true or not, but I did see a
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: report that there's a chance he would play, which would
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: give him a chance. It's CBS Sports, uh that there's
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: optimism that he'll play. So yeah, I thought he'd be
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: just done. But he does add something to their team
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: obviously with the run pass, good system fit. What says
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: you about this game, sir? Because we had a letdown spot.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: We have the letdown spot.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: So your last two games you want at Kneeland at Tuscaloosa.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: That's pretty fucking impressive. You come home, you're the big
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: dogs on campus. You're playing him a zoo team out
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: of the playoff picture, who has a great running back,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: has maybe the quarterback back, and as a solid team. Yeah,
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: this could just be the ultimate letdown spot. Again, Oklahoma's
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: offense hasn't ran away from anyone this year. This could
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: kind of be a Circle of the Wagons game from Zoo. Man,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: I still think that Oklahoma defense is good, and normally
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: it's not defenses that have letdown spots. Formally, it's an
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: offense that has letdown spots. So I think the defense
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: does enough. And if it's the third string quarterback, I
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: gotta really love O use chances because you saw what
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: A and M did to the third string quarterback from Zoo.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: They struggled to score points in the first three quarters
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: that game. So and I think we'll use defense just
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 2: because A and M's maybe better. I don't know, uh,
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think, oh you gets it. If Forbula
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: comes back, I think that increases Miszoo's chances of the
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: letdown spot. But I think Ohu wins this one. But
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: then you'd have another trap game with South Carolina, which
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: would be two in a row. I don't we'll see. Yeah,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: I think Ohu wins. And if the that's a hard
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: spot for a third string quarterback too. You've had a
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 2: couple of games now where you've played it excellent teams
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: and that's just you're asking a whole lot for a
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: kid who obviously is talented. I believe is just a
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: straight up freshman. But that's still a hard spot from
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: midway through the season. You get thrown in the fire
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: of a really tough SEC conference prior schedule. I'm not
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: saying they don't expect to win, but you're just putting
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on the kids play.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it. A lot of people
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: looking at Tennessee at seven and three being ranked compared
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: to some other seven and three teams. That'll be a
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: different argument, But they play in the swamp. They're a
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: four and a half point favorite right around there. And
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: by the way, I oh wait, I did say I
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: got by you Tennessee Florida could could Florida or Tennessee
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: finish strong or will Florida just play a spoiler because
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: they damn near did last week?
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 2: I man, shit, I'm sure, I guess. Yeah. Tennessee's the
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: playoff chances obviously now are dead.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Florida has been scrappy the whole year. Man, this guy
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: this week is a disaster for making picks.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Holy ship, I only have three plus numbers or something
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: that I'm looking at.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm normally pretty decisive with my picks. But
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: this game is absolute cluster.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: I keep passing it to you right away, Uh I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: I got it.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: I think I think you gotta take Florida here. Florida
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: is a home dog because yeah, yeah, I Tennessee on
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: the road. Yeah, I'll take Florida. Yeah, I'll take Florida
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: plus three and a half. Get that hook. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus that someone's got to win the game.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: Chris, that is probably the only thing that we know
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: for sure. If someone does have to win the game.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: That would be that be a one, that'd be a
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: one out of ten confidence ranking to my pick. I
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: think that game goes either way. But if I had
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 2: to choose, I would choose Florida to win.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because Tennessee doesn't have a good defense. They start fast,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: but then again, you know when they've played a nasty defense,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: they usually get messed up. That I mean Oklahoma, they
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: started really fast to the point where I thought, God,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: they may win this game, and then yeah, that didn't work.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, this is a I'm gonna go just to
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: be opposite. I'm gonna go to Tennessee, but I don't know. Also,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: looking at Kentucky Vandy, Vandy needs to win, but when
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: they're the favorite, that plus nine and a half kind
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: of stands out to me. Another one, Nebraska plus nine
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: and a half against Penn State stands out to me.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: And then plus nine and a half or plus ten
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: against Texas for Arkansas, who we know can score, and
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: obviously Texas maybe kind of shook up, and it's almost
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 1: a look ahead game, like, hey, we got to get
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: our shit together. You can still do it. You have
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: A and M, but you still have a game before you.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna lose. I'm just saying, hey,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: you just never know on this one. Yeah, man, I
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: like y to win, but the plot I'm just kind
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: of I'm trying to just draw anything when it comes
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: to uh plus numbers this week.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: You know, Arkansas has a ton of like three to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: six point losses.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they don't and Vandy's defense isn't up to snuff,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think Texas wins but doesn't cover. I
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: think Vandy VERSUK can it's at Vandy. I think they
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: meant ten years. Okay, Okay, I screwed that up, but
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: I'll take Arkansas with the points. I'll take Vandy actually
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: to cover I think they're still.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Playing to know how important this game is.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that your playoff chances aren't done yet. You could
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: sneak in. It would be crazy and ship poor Vandy dude,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: you go to nine and two, you in the sec
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: and then you still can't make a playoff at that.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: But hey, they're going the right direction.
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: Louisville s m U at home eleven am kickoff Central.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: They're a three point favorite. I mean, I don't know,
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I really don't know what's gonna happen
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 2: That just that I might actually go. I might actually
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: go to that game. That'd be a fun one of me.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: That's that's literally that a really good game, A.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: Ten minute drive. Yeah that man, man boy, Yeah see Miller,
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: Moss and Brom But man, that team just when it
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: comes to fourth course of close games, hey, let's hit
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: the like the stupid button it make dump penalties and
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 2: just kick ourselves in the foot. Like sure that that
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: team should be a playoff contender like they've they but man,
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: they've had so many just really unfortunate dumb play calls
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: and dumb penalties that just have killed them all year.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: So I gotta take SMU to win. I I I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: want to pick uh Louisville, but they just they haven't
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: done it this year to just consistently make good plays
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: down in the stretch. So I think SMU wins that
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: game and that keeps SMU's chances of being a playoff
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: team alive.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's still got the acc you know,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: vibe to it, Like both these teams can still make it.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: So TCU has really falling off. The Houston TCU makes
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: me think, Eh, it's not gonna happen anymore. It's not
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be a good game. But TCU's kind of falling
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: off lately. That's another one. Any other things before we
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: get to the finish of the show. The crafty crappy
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: pick of the week, sir.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: Uh, I mean just based off projections and for picks
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: this week, Duke has been showing so much love this
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: year by Vegas versus right teams. Why are they only
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: minus six and a half at Carolina. Who I'm not
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: saying they've completely quit on Belichick, but that spread doesn't
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: make much sense to me. Like maybe UNC has been
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: playing a little bit better ball lately, but Duke.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: They didn't last time out. But I did get him
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: that one day. Remember when I picked him on the
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: Slight Underdog a couple of weeks ago.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, Duke has been like a two point dog
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: to Illinois. They've they've been like favorite, They've they've been
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: like their favorite versus Georgia Tech Like they've been such
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: a weird spread.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: Why are you not getting they still have a chance
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: to get so this is meaningful of them.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: I would take I would take Duke first half. That's
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: my pick of the week, Duke first half US Carolina.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Belichick's even there next year. That
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: might be an open job, to which one surprised me.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: But my pick of the guy. I hate saying those words.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: Girl friend might have to coach the last game. You
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: never know.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because in about a month from now, I'm not
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be saying go Duke on our show. I'll tell
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: you that much, because that those words ain't coming out
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: of my mouth. Brother, I don't care if they change
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: teams every year in college basketball. I'm still never gonna
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: like the dark School in Durham. Uh so the dark Blue.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: But hey, I think they get the job done this week.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: From a gambling standpoint.
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: I'll say that so h but no, I believe we're
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: we headed, sir. While you set up the weird, we're
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: coming down to the speaking of coming down of the water.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: This is the acc type shit AC type ship here.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, hey where we had it?
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: What conference buddy, Murph Murphy's Borough Tennessee conference said.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Damn it? Okay, this guy, I always got to make
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: it difficult, Murph.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: Two o'clock ESPN plus you in the door for thirteen dollars,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: you go to subway or go watch a football game?
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, which one is it? There's there's Sam oh Sam Houston.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: There's a bunch of fucking two o'clock kicks, Sam Houston, Middle.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Middle Tennessee, Yes, sir, oh boy, Okay. The Sam Houston
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 2: Boys are two and eighth this year, one in five
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: in conference. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders have not have They've
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: been singing the blues?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 2: They are one and nine. They were on the short
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: ler this year. They're owing six in conference. Yet despite
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: being all in sixth in conference, the Middle Tennessee Blue
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Raiders are still six and the half point home favorites,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: which is a very high number. One would say this
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: game's even played at Johnny Quotations Red Floyd Stadium, sixty
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 2: four degrees partially cloudy, Chris, These teams have played a
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: lot of football and they have three combined wins. So
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 2: you're not gonna get a Heisman moment from this game.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 2: I don't believe. Take it away, my friend.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: So what happened last week? You're gonna set us up.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, we got we got drama happening. This is
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: the first year I think you've made it one time
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: through the segment that you came up with where he
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: actually did it, correct sir.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: And the last week the drama.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: We got drama, sir.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 2: The South Alabama Jags, they came out of sleepwalking. They
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 2: it wasn't that pretty, but the boys bounced back in
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: the second half and got the job done. The South
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 2: Alabama Jags were victorious with actually have a pretty badass helmet.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: That puts us to six and six on the ear,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: which is why we're gonna We're.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Gonna huh two games remaining, man, Yes, so.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: We're getting there. We're trend in the right direction, and
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: there's been a refresh. I got to experience some college
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: football games in person. There's all sorts of good vibes
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: going around here. So uh yeah, six and six soon
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 2: to be seven and six. Now you can break this
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: game down, my friend, go jags man.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Okay, So Sam Houston was over until the last two games,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: so this is like an eight game winning streak to them,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: you know, because they're two their last two. They beat
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 1: Oregon State, who I know, Oregon State and Washington State
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: are gonna be, you know, in the New PAC twelve
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: next year. But got Lee. That's bad. That's bad. They
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: both lost very close to to JSU. They have a
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: lot of close ones. I mean they I would say
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Sam Houston played the better non conference, so I'm kind
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: of in there now. Zon cox Is did not play
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: in their last when last Saturday. Just a heads up
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: something to know, not that I really know you know
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: what that means. But when you look at this, Sam
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: Houston eighteen points a game on offense, Middle Tennessee twenty
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: point seven. So this definitely fits. Middle Tennessee only rushes
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: eighty seven yards a game, but they'll probably have some
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: success because Sam Houston is almost giving up two hundred
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: yards on the ground and they're giving up Dan near
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: thirty seven points a game. We got the fifty three.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going over the fifty three point five because you
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: got a team that gives up almost thirty seven and
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: a team that gives up thirty eight. So both of
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: them are just sixs One can run, okay, one can
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: pass pretty good, actually, two sixty seven. Middle Tennessee is
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: pretty good. Last year, Sam Houston beat or no sorry
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: at twenty twenty three, twenty three to twenty Sam Houston
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: beat Middle Tennessee. So Middle Tennessee they got bulletin board stuff,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? This is crazy, dude. Remember
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: I told you that Middle Tennessee doesn't really run the
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: ball much. The Blue Raiders, according to fox faxt Sports
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: fox Fax zero point four rushing percentage. That's the lowest
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: in the ncuble A.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: What does that even mean? I know?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: And then they don't pass it. They must not get
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: the ball much because they're passing. Okay, this is weird.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 1: They're passing is point zero point six passing percentage, which
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: is the second highest. What okay, that's a misprint. That's
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: a misprint. Now the Bearcats Sam Houston forty three point
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: eight percent completion rate in a pent territory, which is
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: very low. Okay, So I'm going because they've been in
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: a bunch of tight games and see Sam Houston already
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: broke through. They already broke through. They're not gonna win
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: three in a row. I'm going Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: Don't really understand that one. But the Blue Raiders are
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: gonna move up on them in the conference. Okay, oh six,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: what they're gonna be both one and six, Middle Tennessee,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: last seven in a row. I'm going with the Italiano quarterback,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Vattillot, though, I'm going with him Middle Tennessee. Baby,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going with the favorite. You see, you hooked me
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: up this week. You finally gave me a little bit
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: of a favorite. You know what I mean. You threw
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 1: me a bone. I appreciate that, sir.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: I'll take the compliment. I've been Uh I've got some tough,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: some tough words said to me on this show. Uh.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: So for the alumni battle for Sam Houston, it's pretty,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: it's pretty slim. Dann rathers obviously a famous news anchor.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: Oh god, it we really need him ship. Yeah.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: Uh Marcus Latrelle, who is the best book I ever read?
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: So that's why to say his name. He had a
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: book called Loan Survivor. They did a movie on it
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: with Mark Wahlberg where he was on a mission. If
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: you've ever if you I'm not even a huge book reader,
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 2: but Loan Survivor best book I've read in my whole life.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 2: Great books. I'll give points for that. Josh McCown, who
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: is a traveling NFL quarterback. And Billy Gillespie, a former
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 2: Kentucky basketball coach from Walt Anderson, a long time NFL ref.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: That's a about all I got. That's an okay card? Uh?
