• 0:31
  Speaker 1: if he's sidetracked, you.

  Speaker 2: Know why, yep, just right there on sidetracked. Well, good thing,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: you're good thing.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You're not leading us in the college football playoff talk here.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Later on, I'll be zoned in for that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: So generous.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Well, there's been a lot going on in Husker News
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and we're back to one episode a week here. Now,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: let's start with volleyball, which is right at the end
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of their season and still playing, which is great. Nine
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to zero in sets against Wisconsin this year. Take that, Badgers, amazing.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: We are in the final four once again. Penn State
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Thursday night, I believe I saw today is the release.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: We did get swept by Penn State earlier in the year.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: But we're playing well right now, very well. That was
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: some good volleyball to watch. Have been good volleyball tournament.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But we're playing well. Penn State's also playing well. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: know they're playing for their coach who I'm not sure
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what type of cancer, but I know she has cancer.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: They're also playing very well all four one seeds making
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the final four.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Shocker, hey, Creighton. Creighton did' give them a run for
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: their money. They're they are those who kind of that
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: one up, That one is kind of Cran's game to win,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: and then they choked it away.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you, did you want to see create Nebraska?
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Yes? I did me too. You know you have on
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: all Nebraska on one side. And then also on top
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: of that, I like my chances against Creighton more than
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I like it against Penn State.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to beat Creighton. If I don't like.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Them, really blue Jay hate man, you go to won
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Nebraska creaton game. And it's this year.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I've never liked the Creighton or the fans, but for
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: whatever reason, this year, my hate for them has just
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: risen and risen. I think it's because I'm realizing who
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: those fans are, and the fans that I constantly am
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mad about for Husker football and other things, a majority
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: of them, I believe are Creighton fans. So I think
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that's where my hate's kind of stemming from. And I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: hope they lose everything from here on out.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: All right, strong opinion.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I'm saying at the volleyball talk. I don't watch a
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: lick of volleyball.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Good season, Huskers, That's all I got. I don't like volleyball.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I don't like watching it. So you know, like you
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: don't like girls, I do, but I like everything of
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: the sport. It just it's just boring to me.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't watch it so good.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Did not even know they made the well I found
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: out today they made the final four.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: This kind of not really on topic, but it is
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: speaking of girls. I'm just it's funny. It's watching games
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on TV, especially at the VANNY, and I think of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it like once every like four or five games. But
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: those like middle aged older men that sit in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: front row on the baseline that you can just see
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: like when the game, like when the girls are irving
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in front of them, how their eyes are just like
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: looking at the like you can tell the wives you're
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: like you better not you will be on camera. And
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: so it's just funny. I always I always think about
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that once every like four or five games. It's like,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know that has been addressed and talked about before
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: you sit in those seats.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Again, how much you think those seats cost.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: At the time.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I mean it's a hundred bucks to get in the game,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: right pretty much now ish, So.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I mean normal games one hundred bucks.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tho's gotta be I mean, and they gotta there's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: gotta be like a grand at least, you don't you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: think I have.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: I can't idea.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Probably double that for this last game, at least.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: I don't think those tickets are ever available to purchase.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think they've get they get handed off by the owners.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyways, I know we don't spend a lot of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: time talking volleyball, but I do think obviously now is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: worth hyping them up a little bit. And as it
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: headed too the final four, the other side is Pittsburgh,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: who has been the number one seed majority of the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: season and have not lost. And so Emily Emily Emons
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like one of the volleyball media people or whatever, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: she was asked, you know, if someone's playing hot, like,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: if someone's playing at their absolute best, there anyone that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: can just run away with the field. She said, Pittsburgh,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And she knows a lot more about well than we do.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: So I thought that was interesting that they are actually legit.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: And then Louis builds the other one who had a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: scare I believe. In the round of thirty two against
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Northern Iowa, I believe, but they are also the other
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: one seed that made the final four.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we were playing really well. I mean against Wisconsin
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: there were moments where you're like, oh, you know, we
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: just kind of looked with a little lot of sink.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: But when we're out of sink, we were still winning.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Like the third seven, we were down, it's like, Okay,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I guess we'll have to come back and win this one.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: It's kind of nice watching a team just being like,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: all right, we've got this and not worrying about it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Huscar Basketball talk about playing good. We be Indiana at
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: home by I believe, end up being seventeen ended the
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: game on like a what was like eighteen to one run.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I believe it was impressive what we did. And this
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: is an Indiana team, And just from going to the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Indiana game and talking to Indiana fans, they were pretty
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: high Hunt. A lot of them aren't like huge Mike
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Woodson fans, but they still believe in him. You gotta
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: be questioning that. Now they got the ballow from Arizona
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: to add in there with Malik or new I mean,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: they had some players, and Braska did a very good
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: job of defending them, especially when we needed too late.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: And then our system, our style of play that we
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: run in the half court that has continued to improve
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: under Hoiberg, wins out when we don't call on scoring
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: droughts and we're seeing less and less of that now.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Juan Garry, Bryce Williams, two guys that we knew had
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: to step up, stepped up big, Bryce dropping I believe
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: thirty points. So it was it was an impressive win.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And I guess our second conference game, right, you have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: those two and then you go play a couple more
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: non con and then you get really into conference play
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: after the first of the year. It's good to win
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: one of them. Good to go one and one in
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: conference play here to start it off.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. It's we're doing better than thought we
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: were going to be. To be honest, going into the year,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: I was a little bit scared, but the pieces are
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: jelling more than I expected. Without for a lack of size, well,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I thought we were gonna have a lack of skilled size,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and I don't think that's really been an issue thus far.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: The Michigan State. Yeah, you know, tough to say what
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: team it actually is is a team that Indian other
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: team that got thumped by Michigan State.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: That's that's for sure what you want to go in
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: those two games one and one. I mean you weren't.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: You definitely weren't expect to go to know, But does
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Hoiberg tell his team like before road games, as you say, like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: hey guys, we don't gotta play this game at all,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: like Wolves went at home? Because if the same thing
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: last year, they just lay eggs on the road and
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: then they come home and it's totally different team.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: We like can almost guarantee you probably doesn't tell them that.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: But yes, I think two different teams the same is
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: last year on the road and home like completely different.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I mean we are very good at home. We were
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: tend toer on conference play last year. I'll be honest.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I did not watch or didn't even see a highlight
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of the Michigan State game. I actually forgot when the
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: game happened. I was actually with jack that night and
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Jackson we're gonna watch Huskers. I'm like, yeah, what time
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: they play? I think six o'clock. He's like, oh no,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: like it already happened. I was like oh, I didn't
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: even know.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: It was like three and a half I think. And
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: then the second hal which is terrible.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think forty I believe at one point
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: it it wasn't good, right.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: And you're lost by thirty seven.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: So now Michigan State is really good.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: I will I would, I would be cautious with the
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: word really good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I think they're pretty solid. I here's here's when I
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: heard this on it might have been the broadcast of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the Indiana game, they said the Big Ten this year, like,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: no one is going to be favored by more than
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: ten points on anybody, the best team and the worst team.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: It is a very balanced conference like it has been
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in the past couple of years. And that's why we
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: keep saying, and we said last year this year too,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: go five hundred in the Big Ten. When you're non
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: con you're probably in the tournament. I think going ten
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: and ten in conference play is or nine and nine.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: And however many games you play like that is that
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: is a goal, a good goal to have, and obviously
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: starting off one on one is good. But I think
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: every game is gonna be winnable, and winning at home
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: we're good at We've got to steal a couple on
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the road where we can non conference. We did what
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: we needed to do. We thought maybe we would go well.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: I guess we're not quite done yet. We have some
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the Diamond Head Classic next weekend, and then I think
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we play Southern University. But you know, win those games
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: and come out with only one or two non conference losses,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: you know you'd be Creighton. That's gonna be a very
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: big win. Hopefully if Creighton continues to play well, I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: think we're in a good spot. But obviously the Big
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Ten schedule is not gonna be easy. It's gonna be weekend,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: week out, tough games. One thing I do think that
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we have going for us is we have depth, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I think that is very, very valuable when you're playing
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: good teams twice a week, which we will be not
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that you know, Bryce and Jawan can go off like
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that every so often, you know, get a night from Raleigh,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: you know, get a night from a season going off
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: like we have those different pieces like we had last
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: year where different guys have the ability to produce for us.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's big in the Big Ten, that
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you're not just star centered on one or two guys.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean it, don't get me wrong, it's
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: nice if you have that one guy that when you
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: have that scoring slumps, like all right, just passed to him.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Eventually he'll get he'll get you a bucket and get
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you out of it. Which you know, Bryce might be
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that guy for us. Maybe he's had games where he's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: shown that and he's like, where are you like.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: Where you have two guys that could be that the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: seed in a little bit less, but Bryce would be
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: prior to go to.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Well glad you didn't say Juwan because I thought that's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: who you were going to say.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: You've always been a huge You've been high on him,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and I know you just bought a jersey. Yeah, yeah,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I will say I like I love watching Jawan play.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's like the he's like the glue guy
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that you need to have on your team, the toughness
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Harvard defender obviously, but he still can make shots. He's
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: not a he's not a bad three point shooter, and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: he always seems to make a big time play but
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: when you need it. So I think.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: He'll never be a go to score that for sure.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, So anyways, I do think the Huskers. Are you
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: know we like Austin you said, I think we're doing
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: it probably a little better than where expectations for coming
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: into the year. I would agree with that, especially after
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: watching the first couple of games. I was like, oh boy,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I guess team is going to struggle the score.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Well, then you see the first couple of games they
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: struggle to score, and then you see the Michigan State game,
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, now we're playing real teams.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: It's a good year to be in a conference set.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: I mean maybe good or bad that there are just
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of balanced teams like find a way to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: win those games. And I think this team and Hoiberg's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: teams are doing a much better job of finding a
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: way to win games close games. Maybe they just seem
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: like we're winning more because our football team never does
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: it then then lose them. I think you're gonna beat
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of close games in the Big Ten. So
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: if you know how to win and you have a
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: team that has a winning mindset, that's a really good thing.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: When you don't, as we know from football, we can
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: pull up the chart of what the one score losses
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: look like.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Not pretty, and I mean it's also because I mean,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: if you look at the women's team, they don't look
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: as good as we thought they were gonna but they're
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: still squeaking out the winds. So it's like, I'm not
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: gonna be upseessed, but I think losing Potts is a
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: lot bigger than we'd expected.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Let's move on to transfer
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: parle talk yay, because we're talk so I don't even
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: remember what has all happened since a week ago.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: We hadn't gotten anyone new.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Well, I think you just did.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I know there was something that just happened. I I
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I think coaching wise, all the defensive coaches were just announced.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I believe at the time we had our last podcast.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: They're all here. Now. We have an associate head coach,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: we have a new DC, we have a new basically
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: whole staff on the deepen the side of the ball.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: And I don't know what that means, Like, I really don't.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit here and try to pretend
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like it's going to be good or bad.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are obviously spinning it in a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: very positive way. There's reasons to do that. I also
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: think another caution is. I mean, John Butler came in
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: for Evan Cooper and coached our d backs, and I mean,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you guys, tell me how DoD dbacks do over the
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: year compared to what we thought they were going to be.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I feel like it feels worse than it actually was.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think they were bad, but I would say
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: they don't think they're better than expected. They didn't.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: I think it just feels worse because we lost a
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: couple of games. You know, when we we gave up
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: a touchdown, it's like, well, we have to hold them
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: to under ten points to win a game. You know,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: it's like, well, okay.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: You know I agree though, yeah, so again, it's just weird.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: It's it's a little bit it doesn't feel deserved.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: It's not it doesn't feel like it's like, oh man,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: he clearly coached his way to becoming the defensive coordinator.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: You know, it's like, oh, okay, correct the other guys.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's interesting the defensive backs coach from UCF.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, he was their defensive coordinator. So I mean
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: it's just it's just interesting in that I mean that
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: apparently had a really good like past protection in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: big twelve. But also it's like you were a defensive
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: coordinator for a big toll school and I coming back
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: just to be a defense defensive backs coach, Like, I
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: don't know, it just feels weird more. It's kind of
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: like on the offensive side, we have Glenn Thomas, who
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: used to be an offensive coordinator and now he's just
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: a quarterbacks coach.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Agreed, yeah, that, And then he had this whole other
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: element of Phil snow And who has been who have
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: been Rule's defensive coordinator at previous schools. He's obviously up
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: there in age, but now he's the associate head coach.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It's like, you don't, we don't know, like we have
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: no idea what that position even entails. Rules mentioned how
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: there's so much more, and he's not wrong by that,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: there's so much more you're dealing with as a head coach,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: with this whole new era, you might need a guy
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: like that to help do more of the logistics x's
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and no's type head coach roles, and you can. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I think what Rule strength is is the persuasion and
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the communication piece of college football, and so maybe that
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: allows him to focus on that a lot more. I
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: don't know how good of an actual exce's nose football
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: coach Rule is. I think that we've seen some flaws
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: there over the past few years in his past, so
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: maybe that's the role. I don't know. I think that's
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: that's what people maybe are thinking. But I think you
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: can make it. W want as far as what what
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: that looks like.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it definitely wasn't a flashy hire, which.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: You know, I agree with Rule saying it doesn't need
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: to be flashy. But he kind of, like I said,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: it just didn't feel like he earned this role. It
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: just kind of felt like it almost felt like the easy.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Higher Like Austin, what was your response when you said it?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: You said, I said, man like that, I feel like
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that was everybody's was like, well, okay, like no one
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: no one was yes.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Guy, but but yeah, like pumped you up, like I
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: can't think.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Of I mean, I don't know. I think guys like
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Jim would have been great, Like I don't know. I
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: think I think there's It's funny because as a fan,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: and this is what all fans do, right, you you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: frame it and you you move the pieces around in
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: your brain to put it in a way that makes
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you excited or optimistic about what could happen. I feel like,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: that's that's what you do, right with everything the transfer
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: portal too, Like all what I heard after Tony White
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: and all those guys left, or these talk shows and
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: people talking about how the players wanted him gone, and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: there wasn't much chemistry left with the players, and I'm like, so,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: so we didn't. We didn't want them to stay here,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: like it wasn't that he was that that people wouldn't
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: want him here anymore. I'm like, oh, hey, Like if
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: that's how you want to think of it. But the
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: a lot of the players that left her like a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: were our best defensive players. And then the counter to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: that was, well, they were starting to play less than
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: less minutes as a year went on. I'm like, it's
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: how people are framing everything with what's passional history. You
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: want to give it a positive spin so that you're hopeful.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: You don't you don't want to play devil's advocate, which
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I tend to try to find myself doing because to me,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that's fun, try to figure out where the holes are at.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: But but that's not what you do when when players
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: lead from other teams. When I see an Oklahoma player. Leave,
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I go ha, Oklahoma fans like you've just lost the linebacker.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Where if you're an Oklahoma fan and go, well, he
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: really wasn't that good anyways. You know, he missed like
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: eight tackles last game, and and you know he wasn't
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: getting along with the coaches, so we really don't want
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: him there. Like that's that's it's kind of how you
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: think about it. If you don't know, you're like, okay, whatever.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So it's just funny. That's what fans do, right. You
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: take the you take the facts of what's happening, and
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: you frame it in your mind of no, this is
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: this is actually what's better for the program moving forward.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: And that's what that's the part of Even with that
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: framing thing, no one was really saying that Butler.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: It was like, well, Phil Snow's there, he'll guide, he'll
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: guide Butler. So it's really a good one two punch.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Now now now the framing is like yeah, it's with
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: all of that, it's just it's just funny. Whereas you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you want to look at the negative side of it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And I'm not saying any of this is true, but
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: what if no one wanted to come be reals defensive
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: coordinator because Rule is not a fun guy to work for.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: And the Rule all he has left is the stick
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: for guys that he has underneath this kind of current umbrella.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: And and that's it, like and and everything's falling apart,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: like what what if all that's true? And people, you
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: know outsiders? I mean, Dak, you're kind of an outsider,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: not anymore because you're a big time fan, Like, well,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: what what they know? Why the hell they just hire internally?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: That was dumb, Like they really couldn't pay anybody else
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: better to come and be the decordinator at Nebraska. Like really,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: it's funny. You don't know, you don't know what other
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: people are saying. But that's just how that's how we
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: as fans think, or any fan does of their team.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Right. You make the argument, well, I had a good
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: defense before, you know internal higher.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, oh, I will say, though you look
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: at the players who're transferred out, not all of them
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: follow Tony White, I think too. So let's let's go
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: through this here. We've mentioned a lot of guys, so
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of going to chronological order. I'm gonna go
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: offensive defense and I'll say a few guys and we
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: can comment on it. Gabe Urbans still to be determined,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: but he is in the portal. Stefan Thompson did follow
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Tony White to Florida State. Jamari Butler right now is
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: sitting between LSU and Florida State.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Most likely.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Prince will Uman Yellen went with his brother at Old
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Miss Mackai Bayer the other defensive player. He's also still
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to be determined. And then James Williams Florida State. Vincent
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Jackson to be determined. And then who is Keona Davis.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: He's back. He's back, so he's the one that did return.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And we've said that players can return after entering the portal,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: so those are most of the defensive guys here. Berdie
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Tagaloa is another one to be determined. Still, I don't
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: know what to make of it. I don't know, like
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: it's the portal, and there's so many reasons why people enter.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I've heard two people are just entering just to say, hey,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: pay me more money and then I'll come back. See
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: how much you can get you you know, can you
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: can you get me to six figures? Oh you can't, Okay,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: then I'll stay in the portal. Oh you can, Okay,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I'm staying, Like, I don't know. I think the money's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: part of it. I also don't think it's the end
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: all be all like some people are making it, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: it's definitely a big factor.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there really hasn't been that much movement that. I
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: just thought it was interesting that only two of them
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: have committed to Florida State after everyone was like, oh man,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Tony White's leaving, Everyone's going with him? Is just like, well,
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: maybe not maybe that this is what this was always
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: gonna happen to Tony left or not very possible.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I think go ahead, Deck.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I can't leave more field involved with Tony Mike. That's
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: usually what happens.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: But Florida State already had Athles. It probably just isn't
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: room for him.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well you have down these roster cuts too. It
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: just makes it harder. And the thing about the portal
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: is though the players have all the leverage right now,
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: like these coaches have nothing to like say, let's just
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: go right a like he wants to leave, say pay
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: me a million more dollars?
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Awesome, leaving pretty Florida Florida player demands? Is that real?
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know if you guys saw that
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: where like he was like demanding a certain play time
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: to go back to Florida. I don't know if it
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: was real. Some linebacker.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: They they can ask for whatever they like.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: They're basically they're on agents right now and the coaches
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: have nothing to like no control over it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Well, and I'll say they, I wouldn't say no control,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: but they.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: A little I guess the.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Players are. I mean, I don't know this one hundred
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: percent like all of them do, but I know a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: lot of them are having agents uncle agents work for
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: them and are advising them. Hey, here's what you should do,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: what's best to offer you. We knew it was going
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: that way. We that that wasn't That's not a secret
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: that that's happening. That's where I think the coaches, the
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: coach that how we frame it, we want to believe
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: rule is this very good persuader and understander of the
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: new era and being adaptable. That's a big advantage, right
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: because when it is really hard and the coaches really
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: have very little saying things, if you have someone that
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: can take advantage of that and be a little bit
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: better than said coach, at A or B from a
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: different school. That gives you a big advantage.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I think Rule and Dana had a big part in
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: getting Emma Johnson to come back, So I think that
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that helps a lot. Now the flip side of that
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: of Emma Johnson coming back is Dante Daldell, within the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: last couple of hours has entered the portal coming as shock.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: We also know Danny Kaalin entered the portal less than
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: a week ago. He's already decided on Virginia. Oh, by
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the way, Jamar Butler did commit to LSU and Stefan Thompson. Ah,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: we said him for State. Let's see Isaiah mac morris.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: We talked about him. Oh, Nate Borkischer another one that
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: entered last week. Late last week, I thought that was
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: an interesting one. Jacob Hood offensive lineman. He was a freshman,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: didn't play much.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: He entered the portal given just way overweight this year supposedly.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, he's listed his three forty five right looked he
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: looked bleak, y'all?
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Another one, guys, are Gilbert remember him?
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: I didn't really. He was stilling the team, to be honest,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: No way, He's.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Still a Nebraska guy. Apparently, no way, he's in the portal.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: So Jesus, so I found I found the story about
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: So it's a linebacker from Florida. This is on Sports Illustrated.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: So whether there's still rumors, but he said, you need
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: to be guaranteed forty five thousand a month starting outside
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: linebacker position, play all third downs, and have more snaps
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: in the general rotation. And suppose when he was denied
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: that until he entered the portal.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, you can't tell me the kid's coming up
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: with it all on his own either. No, No, it is.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: It's just it's a crazy world. So incoming right now, Oh,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: Malachi Coleman left to East of Minnesota, which going to
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: a Big ten school. Interesting incoming, we have a couple
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: of players that we've heard of so far. Our defense
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: is apparently back and rebuilt after getting the Missouri transfer
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Williams Noir Wherry will get that name right eventually. Uh,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: former five star, he's a four star in the transfer portal.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Coming along with that our d backs coach or our
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: linebackers coach, it's yeah whatever, yeah, so he's the one
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: or wide receivers coach. I don't know, he's an offensive analyst.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: It's moozy. It's the wide receiver's dad, isn't it.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, I think so. I knew there were ties somewhere there.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: We got him.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: I have a recruiting tool is hiring parents and good
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: players parents.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: The other guy. I hope we never have to say
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: his name again. But man, are we excited forgetting this guy?
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Kevin Gaelic a long snapper. Let's go from the University
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: of New Hampshire coming to Nebraska, A three star long
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: snapper in the transfer portal. I hope I never say
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: his name again. The fact that we are talking about
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: it is speaks for itself.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: But some people, I mean people are probably more excited
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: about that than they were the five star edge because
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: there were still questions. They're like, well, you red shirted,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: you know, there's some questions about his motor. But they're like, man,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: we're getting a freaking starting line long snap for let's go.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Favorite talking mind, you got problems beyond this point.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Here's here's where that's where we're at in the portal.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: Here's what I still want to see, and there's obviously
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of movements. Still, this is just
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: the beginning. We need to get linemen in the portal.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: No one's gonna talk about it. If we don't, it's
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: not gonna be a red flag. We're gonna say we'll
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: be fine, and we'll try to spin it in a
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: way that makes it positive. We had a very inexperienced,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: not very deep I should say inexperienced, but not very
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: deep offensive line this year. Now a couple of the
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: returners that are on the line. Luckily they have not
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: entered the portal yet, so that's a positive sign, and
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: I mean hopefully they stay, but we need to build
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: depth and if possible get a couple of experienced guys
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: on the offensive line in from the portal. I think
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that's very, very huge that that gets addressed and is
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: hopefully make or make as stronger up front, which can
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: only help both run.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: In the past game, I agree, Yeah, just zoned in
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: on that Vikings game, I was thinking, I think.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Say, sure, sure, would you rather.
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: When you when you go on the portal, would you
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: rather your team go looking for, like you said, O
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: line or like skill wide receiver players quarterbacks like that line?
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Because I think I think you built best in the
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: portal with line D lines. That's what I think better
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: than recruiting. I think you can get your skill players
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: from recruiting in the portal. I think you build your
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: team with the on line Z lines better.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Lot of good running back to the receivers, not a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: lot of good linemen.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's a lot of that.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of them enter the portal like yep,
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: and and they're tough to find. So I'd rather get
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: a line all lineman that stop play a couple of
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: seasons than one come out of high school.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, because one I mean the people coming out
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: high school if you're waiting a year. Yeah, there are
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: so few true, Yeah, there's not big enough yep.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: I mean a lot of linemen do take time to
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: develop like that's that's a true statement. So anyways, any
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: other transfer portal talk news, I think we touched on
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: what we know. They'll pread me a whole nother basket
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: of information in a week, but I think no, Okay,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: next up bull game and playoff talk. I have a
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: little bit of a surprise attle fun game that I
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: think we did this a few years ago with Austin,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: but now we get to do it with Dak and Austin.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: So here's here's what we're gonna do. I'm gonna list
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: up and don't don't cheat, keep your phones away, screens away.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna list off ten either real or fake bull games,
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and you guys have to say if it's real or
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: fake bull game names, yes, names of ballgames, okay, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: you gotta say if it's real or fake. We're gonna
• 32:35

  Speaker 1: All right, well, yeah, that those are That was the
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Bull games, A lot of them.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: Some of them.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Uh, they're kicking off. I guess they kicked up on Saturday.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: They already had one. We have one.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: But now we're in the midst of Bull season where
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: there'll be games about every night starting Tomorrow night. Saturday
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: is the first round of the twelve team playoffs.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Can't wait? No Friday in Friday?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: Should say Friday? Yeah, Saturday. There's three games Friday, there's one.
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: So Dak is gonna lead us in the preview of
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: the inaugural twelve team college football playoffs.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: All right, well here we go.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: Let's start out with the battle for Indiana. We got
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: another Dame versus Indiana. Dame sayd by seven and a half. Here,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: it's supposed to be twenty six degrees. I don't think
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: any snow or anything like that. And it is the
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: most expensive ticket out all four games by like three
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars, like it's four hundred ninety bucks to get
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: in the other closest is.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Like eighty dollars.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's wild.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't know why.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Those other games so cheap, Like it's they really one
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: of them. I think NMU Penn State was like fifty
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: dollars a game, so I don't know why.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: But I guess the other ones aren't huge name games.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: But they all have big stadiums too, weekend before Christmas,
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: a lot of them cold weather.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's great. I mean I think starting
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: with Notre Dame, I mean, you you want a night
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: playoff game on a Friday night, like, it's gonna be
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: pretty fun. Yeah, I guess as far as how the
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: game is gonna go, I don't know. I struggle with Indiana.
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: Part of me is that is because of how they
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: just whipped us and they look like the greatest team
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: in college football, even though we were not very good
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: to not play a good game at all. But their
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: schedule also was very, very very favorable. If you look
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: at the strength of schedule of the teams that made it,
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: I believe theirs is the lowest by far. I don't know, like,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that implies. I don't think Notre
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Dame also probably has a very as tough a schedule
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: as some of these other teams. But I lean still
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: taking Notre Dame in the points in this. But I
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: don't want to discount k Signetti because of what he
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: did to Nebraska and what he's done to some of
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: these other teams. Like they have no break, Like they
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: are all gas when they play, and it's fun to watch.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to watch this one. I think I lean
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame though, by ten ie.
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Indiana they had a pretty easy schedule.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: They killed us and we ended up being I mean,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: we're a bowl team, but you know, I think it's
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: gonna be Notre Dame pretty easy.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: See, I'm I'm still pretty big Indiana. I don't.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: I think they're a pretty good team at a high
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: state game. I think they they are getting killed in
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: the end, but they hung in their beginning of that game.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: It just kind of way from the end.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: And Notre Dame. I watched a second of Dame, not
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: a snap, so.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: I have no clue, like how much Nerdame.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: I think we talked about this a couple of episodes ago.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: Week one's hell yeah, I take that back.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Week one I watched against against USC and USC. No,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: that's a and M in mine A M.
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: They played the.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Crap game A M.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: That's right. I mean they did.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: They did not watch more of them.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: They lost to Northern Illinois. And yeah, you want to look,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: you want to look at their schedule, like I guess
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: they they beat Louisville by seven obviously the anybody they
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: kicked the crap out of Army, but Army just got
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: their butts kicked. I mean, their schedule is not to
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: U either like it. I don't know. It makes it
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: very very intriguing game. But guess what the playoff is
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: kind of Besides, they can't get a by by game.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: It helps Notre Dame like with their schedule and not
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: playing in a conference like they're probably gonna get in
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: a lot of years if they don't join the conference.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: They're gonna get in every year as long as they
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: win the one good non con game that they have.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: Correct this year, USC's Louisville USC A N like those
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: those would be your your.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Your team year. You probably thought their schedule was gonna
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: be harder. I mean, you had higher expectations for Louisville,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Florida State, USC and A and M.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: But the playoffs are built for them in this next
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: team after this, they'll be in the playoffs every single year.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: In their game and then next one. But but it's
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: kind of like.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: You're taking Indiana.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: I'm taking Indiana win. Yeah, I think they're win. What's
• 43:59
  Speaker 4: the spread seven halfen in their game? It's kind of
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: like all these games is the underdogs quarterback is better
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: than the favorites in most of these games.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: Like I would I would take rourckover Ridley Leonard.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I probably would too. I agree with that.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: All right, Okay, next one we got asking you Penn State.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: Penn States are by by eight and a half. I
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: almost say twenty seven. It's gonna be twenty seven degrees.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be wide.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Out at eleven am. I don't know why they're that's
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: gonna look weird. But all right, and then.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why would it look weird.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: Because they've always done at night. It's like this would
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: be the first time they do at eleven am.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't it still be cool?
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: No, I I'm I wasn't gonna say after that guy,
• 44:57
  Speaker 4: you got me round Now.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: I don't now the game against.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, that okay, that's what I was gonna say. Just
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: like nother dame, this playoff is built for Penn State.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: They not even playing anybody. So maybe he schedule Penn
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: State's built for it because he cannot win a big game.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: And I don't depart if you count, this is a
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: big game.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: So yeah, they're favored by eight and a half a half. Well,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you to me? Penn State's Penn State.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: And I will say this, I think that Oregon Penn
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: State game gave me more hope in Penn State than
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: anything I don't think. I don't think Oregon's like a
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: clark Cut number one undefeated team. I mean they are defeated,
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: but not that they're head and shoulders ahead of everybody.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: But I think they give you confidence for Penn State that,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: you know what, like they they can hang with the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: big They can hang. Now, hanging is one thing, winnings another.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: But s A You is not the big Doug You,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: not yet yet. And I think SMU is one of
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: these teams that's playing hot like rhtt lashly is. I
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: think a damn good coach They also had their own
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: kind of game with Clemson that you could argue like
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: maybe gives you hope, but you know, they lost. Clemson won,
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: which I still think they should have been the eleventh seed.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: But it's not like SMU's beat anybody of substance either.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Like you'll look at their schedule, there's not much there,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: not much to it, So I I do. I I
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: also don't like picking Penn State to win by double
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: digits because I like, it's don't team to do that.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, I think their defense is
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: going to be too much or SMU. Like SMU, where
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: they what's Lashley good at. He's an offensive minded coach.
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: They score a lot of points. I mean you go
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: to look at their scores, who they play. I think
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Penn State's gonna be able to hold him to under twenty.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: I'm going like twenty seven to seventeen. Penn State.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: The most stay of Penn State at the points.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like you said about that Organ game, I going
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: in that I didn't have any open Penn State, but
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: that game proved a lot to me, just just offensive wise.
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: I wasn't making Drew Aller, but coming out of that game,
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: I'm higher on him. Now, I guess so are you?
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: Are you Kevin Jennings over Drew Aller.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, I am yeah.
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Speaking of before we got on the podcast, through Roller
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: announced to come back next year. Who but um, I'll
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: go Penn State.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I think. Guess who's gonna keep it close?
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: Penn State thirty one twenty eight.
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, Austin I both the favorite stacks on the dogs.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna see a trend here, all right.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: My next favorite game of the day Clemston Texas, Texas
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: played by ten and a half.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: This is your favorite game of the day.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, I helped Texas gets destroyed, which they could, but.
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: Fifty six degrees, So this would be the one game
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: where the leather the weather Will that matter one bit?
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: Did you just write down the degrees of every game
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: out is gonna be?
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: I mean it's always a lot of these other teams.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: This is yes that that's the only game where it's
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: not going to be cold, and.
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: But nothing about the wind or the you know, that's
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: it just the tempt.
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: Well, Penna State, I do think it's apposed to snow white. Yeah,
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: that's that's why it's gonna.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Be white out.
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: I'm just gonna say off the bat, I think I
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: think Clemson's gonna really hang with Texas. I do not
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: think Quinne rs is good like at all. I'm not
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: high on him for a couple weeks now, and he's
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: injured Arch. Now, if quine Ears starts sucking, do they pull?
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: I thought they were maybe a pullman the SEC title game.
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: I thought he's in the portal. So he told me
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: today Arch or Quinn.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, Quinn's not still there. I was just
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: I was just fucking with you.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: But but no, I think Quenears is a very short leash.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: If he starts sucking the bad game, I don't think
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: they're gonna be scared to pull him at all and
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: put in Arch. So I'm taking Clemson in this game
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: just because if Queeneers plays arch Manny comes in.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Then Texas wins the game. So there go. But I
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: got I got my bases covering both sides in that one.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: I'm definitely taking Texas, but giving Clemson points.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I want to be different. I'm trying to think of
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: reasons to pick Texas. I here's the thing. I I
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: still think that Clemson is a solid football team and
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: and good. I thought that all year. I also, I
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: have not been able to figure out Texas and what
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: to think of them. I think coming into the year,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: everybody thought, oh, it's a big bad SEC, Texas is
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: going to struggle. Well guess what they did not they
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: they didn't play anybody.
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: They didn't play anyone. Huh.
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: They didn't play Oklahoma, but that's nobody. So I guess
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: that validates that.
• 50:41
  Speaker 2: They didn't GEORGI.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I do. I do agree with that,
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: And and there's schedule that was not strong in the SEC.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: But you know, they did what they need to do
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: to get to this point. Houston gets too many points,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: I do, I want I'm taking Clemson. I actually, yeah,
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: this has nothing to do with the fact act that
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: you hope this happens. But out of all the dogs
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: in the value you're getting, I would I would take
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: Clemson money line for value there. I think they can
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: beat Texas.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: I don't think that Texas is is great, and I
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: think Clemson has been here before. And even though Dabbo
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: is an anti portal, anti all this new era stuff,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: which I think is going to bite him very very soon,
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: if it hasn't a little already. I think they got momentum.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: They're rolling, and I'll take him out right.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: You're taking Clemson to win it? Yep, wow, I don't
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: you know. I'll go with you.
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: Clemson win this clabing, So I've got two out of
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: three underdogs winning that. Now club neck over years.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Would you take him.
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: Clemson? You look at their schedule, their schedules.
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know I.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Would Who did Clemson play?
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: That was good? Nobody?
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: They got thumped by Georgia worse than Texas did any
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: other game, and then they lost to Louisville, lost to
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. They beat s m U. But I would
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: say that their best.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Win is did they play Miami?
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Nope, s m U. Their best win is SMU and
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: that was beyond that? Is it pit Florida State?
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: Them out rights up that.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: I still want them. I still want the best.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Texas best wins Michigan.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: I think I maybe Texas A and M.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think A and M is pretty bad.
• 52:56
  Speaker 3: Worse than Michigan.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Uh, oh boy, I don't know.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know if I go that far. They both
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: suck on offense all right. Last game, I think this
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: will be the best game of the weekend.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I might say that about Texas game, but I don't
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: want to say about Texas.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: I was Joe, I think this actually will be the
• 53:21
  Speaker 4: best game of the weekend. Okay, Tennessee against Ohio State.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: Ohio State's faired by seven twenty seven degrees. Did not
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: check out the wind or anything like that. And Okay,
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: no precipitation in.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: That game, sure for sure not gonna rain.
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: Nope, at least at least with checks its bost.
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: I have no idea.
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: I just want you to I didn't know. I didn't
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: see anything.
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: So in this one, Tennessee fans found the code for
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: the Ohio State seedon take holders and they came in
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: and they have bought forty percent of the tickets, so
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: it might be a lot to see there. They're trying
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: to check her out the stadium.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: Like, what's your thoughts on the game?
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, I just don't know.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know how a house state's gonna come out
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: after losing Michigan, if they've just completely coming up on
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: the season or what.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: So, what is the ratification from the flag planting? Are
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: there any players that are suspended during this game that matter?
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, it is a it is a failming though, now
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: if you plan a flag out of how States field.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: There's a bill introduced, I don't know if it got passed,
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: but which might be the most Ohio State thing I've
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: ever heard.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: I just don't.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: You'll be able to tell really early if Ohio State's
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: giving up on the year, not like if they're heads
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: in the game of that Michigan loss.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I don't think. I like Tenancy is that great either, though,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: God that this is the one. I'm back and forth.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Come back to me on that and
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I'll have a pick for it. Austin, I've been I
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: don't know about the game one bitch.
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna take Tennessee out right to win.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you like Nico, I don't.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: That is Ohio States. Sometimes they're like, I mean, we
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: almost beat them. Sometimes their office just stalls out.
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I have a very bad taste
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: in my mouth right for Ohio State because of the
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: fact that we probably should have beat them, like we didn't.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Another one score loss. I just I don't, I don't,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. And the lost to Michigan too is like, yes, yeah,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: they lost end to thirteen.
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, it wasn't like a shootout where they just.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: And and you know what, sometimes rivalry games, I get it,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: like that can happen at home Ohio State. That's gonna help.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: Like you said, Dad, this is gonna be a fun one,
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be rocking on Saturday night. Tennessee fans
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: are also one of the best fan bases in the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: country too, so I'm not surprised that they bought all
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: those tickets. But my favorite bet of the weekend and
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: maybe one of the year is Tennessee plus seven and
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: a half that I love it a lot. I Ohio
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: State's not gonna win by two times, by more than
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: one score. I just don't think that's gonna happen. It's
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: crazy to me that that spread is so high still,
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: like I do, so I don't. Man, maybe maybe Vegas
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: knows something, But you know, I agree, Tennessee.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Is not.
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: World beaters, but man, they they They've played some damn
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: good games. They haven't blown anybody out. Really, But like
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I do like Nico, like I think he's a very
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: good quarterback, Will Howard, He's had his moments, But man,
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know that he's the explosive type
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: of quarterback that Chip Kelly thought he was gonna be.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: So I do I don't. I like him kind of
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: outright too, but I mean for sure plus seven and
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: a half, because even if Ohio State wins, they're gonna
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: win by a field goal or touchdown, like it's gonna
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: go down to the end. It's it's not gonna be
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: a two score game. In my opinion, I think it's
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be within a touchdown. So it's my favorite of
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: the weekend. I would trust that a lot, but I'll
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: probably be completely wrong.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it screw I'm gonna take three other four hundred
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: dogs and win that, right, I get I think Danacy
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: might blow him out.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: See.
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: This is where your logic just never makes sense to me,
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: because you're struggling to pick a seven and a half
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: point spread and then all of a sudden.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: You got screw it.
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: I'm taking an outright winner of no.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: No, I was I was struggling on the score. I
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: wasn't struggling on the spread. I Tennessee thirty four four.
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: I don't think Will Howard's is very good.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Dak says altline it Dak says, grab it up to ten.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do not think Will Howard's that good. And
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: again with the underdog quarterbacks, I think Nico is a
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: lot better.
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: So I will say this just overall, on these four games,
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: and I know I took two of the favorites with
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: the points, I do think it's fun and would be
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: worth doing some fun little parlaying or putting some games together.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Of the underdogs, all these spreads are over a touchdown.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I think people may be a little surprised by that,
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: given the way college football has gone. I definitely am
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: college football has been a parody this year. It's been
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: it's been no good teams, no great teams.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: What outcome, what outcome during the playoffs is going to
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: surprise you the most, Like I mean this first round,
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: if any if I mean SMU or Penn State, probably
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: the rest of us, Like I could see that.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: But even but even that one, I'd be like, Okay,
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: likes State still State, Like I would, I still would
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: not be surprised that happened. It might even be fun putting,
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: you know, five dollars on all four of the underdogs
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: that win out right, like that, that would be a
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: fun little thing to see. I think all these games
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: are going to be pretty close now, you know, if
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at an individual game, that's where I could see, Yeah,
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame could just be that much better than Indiana.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: Like that very well could be the case. But as
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: far as just the parody and the way the year's gone,
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: it could go in either way. And that's what makes
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: the playoffs I think a lot of fun now, especially
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: now that we're playing. I mean, look at the four
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: locations are playing at. Guys, look at the four Notre Dame,
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Penn State, Ohio State, and Texas.
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: Texas, like it doesn't get.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: It doesn't much better than that as far as the
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: capacity and just the fan bases themselves. So it's gonna
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: be a fun weekend.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: I'm pumped.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: I think the future for the playoff is very very bright.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: Some people I know are like still trying to give
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: their revamped structure and what it should look like and
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: how's this team and that team got screwed? Like I
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: get it. I mean, I think I would rather seen
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: Alabama play TENN State, but I mean I don't I'm
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: not going to sit here and argue why Alabama should
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: be an over SMU based on their schedule, and I mean, hell,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you lost to nobody in Oklahoma?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: Right just when? Just when?
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: If you if you really were worried about that, just win. No,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: I just got a text. Don't be surprised if dal
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: Dell ends up a Michigan Wolverine. There you go, that's
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: your inside information. Got a big offer from Michigan.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: WHOA I think they need to work about the court recosition.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: Michigan. Yeah, aren't they getting that number one recruit?
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah? They're getting the five star recruit that Dave Portnoy purchased?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah he did, he did en up coming? Yeah, okay,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: I missed that. All right, there's a.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: Lot of things sometimes Deck.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: I read that he was trying to buy that guy,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: and well it worked out there.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: Why you're able to do it?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: Why not stick with the homeboy that beat the Ohio State?
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: What the heck is his name? I don't know, terrible quarterback?
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 4: But anyway, how's my boy Jordan Aisen doing bad?
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Bad?
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: They haven't done anything a second half yet.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: In the fact, I went down scored.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting close. I don't know.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: I have the Vikings defense. So all right, what else?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: Who got anything else that's it.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: Bull week, volleyball, Thursday basketball. I believe Saturday or Sunday
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: this weekend will be a fun weekend of sports.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: On Sunday probably.
• 1:02:12
