They were called the Brooklyn Superbas. And 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.600 we just mentioned it on the show and passing. I 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:14.640 didn't know anything about it, and I still really don't. 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:20.479 And somebody texted me today on the secret Textoso. 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.440 Secret text DOSU fine, brought to you by your so 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.719 Cal Toyota dealers. 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.159 We make it easy that the Dodgers were named Superbas 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:34.520 after a sponsoring cigar brand Popular. But that's not true. 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.120 So I looked it up, and yeah, but I'm glad 0:05:39.160 --> 0:05:41.159 the guys said that because. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:44.799 Corrections and retractions. 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.279 I thought that was interesting enough to look up, and 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.719 I did look it up. The Brooklyn Superbas were the 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.640 nickname for the Brooklyn Dodgers professional baseball team from eighteen 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.480 ninety nine to nineteen ten. The name was given to 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.760 the team by sports writers to link it to the 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:07.440 popular Handlan Brothers acrobat Troop. Superba was the name of 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.239 the Handlan Brothers Acrobat Troop as the team was managed 0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:16.280 by the renowned Ned Handlin, so they used his Ned 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.560 Handlin had the same name as this Acrobat Troop. So 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:25.000 the sports writers and back then that's that's how you 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.560 would get your name. A sports writer would write something 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.280 and then people would just kind of roll with it. 0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:32.640 That's how Trojans happened for USC. Before that, they were 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:37.000 just known as the Methodists. The Superbas were very successful 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:41.880 in that time with a roster of talented players and 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.520 the Superba Handlan Brothers acrobatic act was such a contemporary 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.560 attraction at the time that people referred to the games 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:58.920 and the team as Handlan's Superbas because he was the manager. 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:02.120 That's good superb information, man, I thought you would enjoy 0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:05.159 love it. That information. It is not it could be 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:09.159 a cigar brand, uh and maybe it is, but that's 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.360 not what it was named after. It was named after 0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:17.720 an acrobatic group well known as the Superbas. And you 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.920 know acrobats that used to be a big thing. You know, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:21.920 you don't get the acrobat stuff, you know, but remember 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.680 every cartoon used to have acrobats and like our circus deal. 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.520 Video games acrobats circus. 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.559 Yeah, I don't see I don't see any Superba cigar brand. 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:37.280 But you know what can I do? 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:44.040 Time for the number? Here's my number number of the day. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:45.679 Twelve. 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:47.640 This is a big one. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:53.679 Twelve, This is a big one. I took a blow 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.200 this morning. Pee. 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:56.520 How's that? 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:05.960 The chosen people? Patriarch Abraham I barely knew the My 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:12.440 inbox today contained a message from twenty three and meters 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.920 an updated ancestry composition. 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.600 Oh did you went? You went? And did it? Well? 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:21.880 That's how I found out I was Jewish? Is I 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.040 initially did it about a year and a half ago, 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.280 and when it came back, you know that I was 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:28.760 Ashkenazi Jewish. 0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.080 Yeah, twenty two I was like. 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:32.920 How about that? That's a chunk. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:33.120 Now. 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:38.960 It was a very odd composition, though, you know, I 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:42.200 was more French somehow on my father's side. My father's 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.360 father's name was Henry Smith. My father's mother's name was 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:50.199 Margaret Clark. Was basically told I was English Irish from 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.320 that side Clark Smith. Yet somehow I was like thirty percent, friend, 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.680 I was more French than anything else, like twenty four percent. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:01.480 Next up was two cents twenty two percent. And it 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.120 turned out it was a family secret. On the Zudox side. 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.800 My mother knew hid from her sons all those years, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.920 and I figured at twenty two percent, Well, that means 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:13.760 my grandpa. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:15.760 And you did go home to Chicago with some blood 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.439 in your eye, to Indiana, I should say, and yes, 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.080 and got some You got some people a little upset, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:22.959 well high to life. 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.640 So I assume my grandfather Frank was one hundred percent Jewish, 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.360 but after coming to the States as a child, is 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.560 family fleeing persecution in Hungary and chose to say no 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.800 because they were Eastern Orthodox father Hungary and that's how 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:40.760 we were raised. But my ancestry profile insisted no, he's 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.840 much more jew than he let up. But today Pee, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.680 the picture was put into finer focus. What happened, Matt Well, 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:50.400 French is gone. 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:52.840 I didn't know that. Twenty three in me stayed after 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:53.480 you like that. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:57.960 Yeah, I think they they sent along this thing that 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:02.400 said we have new Chene groupings in Eastern Europe and 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:06.360 have updated your It says your results just got an 0:10:06.480 --> 0:10:10.600 upgrade version seven of our ancestry composition with a major 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:15.920 expansion and reference of populations in Europe. So I am 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:20.080 no longer I have zero French that is gone, which 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.880 never made sense in the first place. My old man 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.440 was like, I don't know what to tell you. I 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.680 am forty percent English, Welsh, Irish, mostly English. The rest 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.320 of the French bs was allocated to Swiss and Austrian 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.520 for the fifty percent of my father's bloodline. My mother 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.800 the home of my Jewishness. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.960 Yeah, that was you. You went, you know, got after 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:45.760 her family. Why you slipped on its head? It's been 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:49.000 flipped on its head, peeple, what happened? Well, I'm barely Croatian, 0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.120 which is what she told me growing up. I was 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:54.079 more than anything. After all that, After all of that, 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.559 the new not that modrich fanfair. 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:02.360 Right, After all of that, my new numbers say, I 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:09.840 am now twenty five percent Slovenian, Hungarian and Polish, the 0:11:09.920 --> 0:11:15.720 other twenty five percent. As the famous Yiddish proverb says, 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:21.560 the katsu legenaer VOLTSI given a hun. If a cat 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.720 laid eggs, it would be a hen. My twenty three 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:30.920 percent Ashkenazi Jewishness has been more than halved to just 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:32.480 eleven percent. 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:33.800 You still got eleven. 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.760 The other twelve is now classified as Bulgarian Romanian Albanian. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.880 Well, you know you weren't hustling to get home before 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.079 sundime the other night either. You know, it's not well. 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:47.000 Listen, I looked in the mirror this morning and I 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:48.200 was like, I don't even know who this guy is. 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:53.520 Should I still follow through with my arments for the schedule? 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.120 And as you mentioned, so. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:59.080 Alls and retracts, because I mean I've never met anybody 0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.640 who went had a twenty three and meters report and 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.680 made more about it on air than you, right, I 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:11.960 mean for years so now, and I got all excited yesterday. 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:17.560 You know, I figured the high holiday, I'm working, the Sabbath, 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:23.240 I eat, I get food poisoning from eating. 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.880 Yeah, you did get sick yesterday. 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:26.760 You know, the sex in the morning, the leather pants 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.079 I was wearing, the what I figured. You know, they 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:31.120 were all coming after me. 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:31.959 Poor. 0:12:32.960 --> 0:12:34.280 I guess it was just coincidence. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:36.400 Here you go, man, here's some of your music for 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.920 you and your folks. 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.120 The God of the Torah, the God of the Old Testament. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.960 Still you are concerned with my I don't know. I'm 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:49.280 eighty nine percent gentile, p down from eighty I mean, 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.400 I mean down from seven. I was twenty two percent. 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:56.880 I was like, Hey, I'm like, I'm like Jewish man. 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:58.880 You were a surfer jew with an attitude. 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.880 Yeah, now I'm having an existential crisis. 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:03.640 Welcome to the club. 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.200 What do I do with the star of David Pendon 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:07.760 I've been wearing? 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.920 I would I'd like, I need some xanax, That's what 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:10.120 I do. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.800 Can we start doing some Polish jokes? Now at you man, 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.359 since you're mostly polic. 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:15.880 Well, no you can't, but now I can't. 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.480 How many maths does it take to change the light? 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:23.760 Bull? Huh says right here? Eighteen point one percent Hungarian, 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.040 Slovak and Southern Polish seven point two percent Slovenian. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.319 How uh? How I mean? I know twenty three and 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:35.319 me is not what they used to be, But how uh? 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.280 How accurate is this? 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:40.880 Most? Well? You know, I thought it was pretty damn 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.280 accurate when I was twenty three percent ash Konazi Jewish. Yeah, 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:49.920 but now well now most point two percent Portuguese? So 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.000 why not that going for me? 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:52.360 Hard enough? Just to be yourself? 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.199 This is the song of the day. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.520 A repiece la band called The Wallows provides our song 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:07.400 of the day, called deep Dive, a fine fit for 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.520 a Frogman Friday, where the Petros and Money Show is 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:14.320 taking that deep dive, like Matt Smith, into the vast 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:18.320 oceanic underwater world of mystery and wonder as the currents 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.200 of the sea carry us through four full hours of 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:25.240 Gray eight sports talk and right into your nightly programming 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:28.440 on the Fox Sports Radio Network, beginning with The Jason 0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.520 Smith Show this evening at seven o'clock. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.120 I mean, I'm not saying I never bought Matt as 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:36.760 a full on Jewish guy. He's always seemed like more 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:44.680 of an Eastern European blockhead to me. I'll believe you 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.960 mean well, mag you know it caught me by surprise. 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:48.520 You don't have to see you. You don't have to 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:50.640 say goodbye to I mean, you're still in there. It's 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.760 not all gone, h I mean, eleven percent not bad. 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.720 But when I'm forty percent bloke, you should see what 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.560 people's faces are like when I tell him I'm only 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:05.200 half green what We'll be right back with the College 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:06.280 Football Whipper Outdeck. 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:16.480 We've made it even easier to take LA Sports with 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.200 you this summer. Make AM five to seventy or your 0:15:19.200 --> 0:15:22.760 favorite AM five seventy LA Sports podcast. A preset on 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.440 the iheartradiop using Apple car Play or Android. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:29.160 Autumn road Trip all Summer with LA Sports. Bet Bulch 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:30.880 will join us in about an hour. If you missed 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:35.240 his piece in the LA Times, some concern over Martin 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:38.480 Jarman continuing to be the athletic director, could see a 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.160 plane flying over the Rose Bowl tomorrow when they take 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.000 on Penn State, suggesting perhaps he's not up for the job. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.280 Moving forward, David Vasse, if you missed it, also in 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:49.120 the six o'clock hours, we got a full four hour 0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:49.720 show ahead of you. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.560 All right, Matt, Yes, we will talk to Ben Boltch, 0:15:53.680 --> 0:16:02.400 but we'll do the college football whip right here. The 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:06.080 echo you hear bouncing around the canyons of southern California 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.680 is my voice from August. Back then. I was warning 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.760 the USC fans and all the Midwest transplant college fans 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.720 we live out here in LA that USC had made 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:20.440 a grave scheduling. Air Playing those two cupcakes to start 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:25.840 the season left them unprepared versus Illinois last week. Missouri 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.520 State and Georgia Southern can't provide the physicality or the 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:35.240 confidence that USC needed to get ready for the season. 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:37.480 They needed to face something different than what they did. 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.240 I'm not saying they would have beaten Illinois. I'm saying, 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.800 at least us he might have not gotten their asses 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.400 kicked on both sides of the line of scrimmage in 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:54.800 champagn or Banna. Now with three games against Michigan, Notre Dame, 0:16:56.360 --> 0:17:01.200 so Michigan here at Notre Dame at Nebraska, does anyone 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.760 think the Trojans are built or prepared to deal with 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.640 those teams? 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:11.200 For me, certainly, not all three of them. 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:11.760 No much. 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:17.199 Here's a proverb from the Bible. Iron sharpens iron, so 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:24.600 one person sharpens another. USC has spread out offensively and 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.439 has been the whole time. Lincoln Riley is from the 0:17:27.440 --> 0:17:31.200 Mike Leach coaching tree, knowing that how often or how 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.640 well does USC practice for physical teams, they don't practice 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.680 against it. I don't think it'll take long to answer 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.120 that question. They're on a bye week before Michigan comes 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:46.879 to town. They knew Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood would be 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:51.199 making his fourth or fifth career start. But he's an 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.600 elite runner, and he's very physical, and he'll be operating 0:17:54.640 --> 0:17:58.560 behind a very physical offensive line. So I'll pick this 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:01.880 one in next week's whip Last week's picks were four 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:07.080 and three, so I'm fifteen and eleven overall, not much, eh, tryumph. 0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:13.560 My three underdogs hit last week Alabama, Ucla, and Colorado 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:19.600 who the born again, but Iowa State was my only 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:24.679 favorite that covered. So without further ado, let's get this 0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:31.679 week's college football whip picks. Cracking Wisconsin is two and 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:34.720 two at Michigan number twenty three and one, nine am 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.840 on Fox, Big Blue. Favored by seventeen and a half. 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.200 The Wolverines will feast on the Badgers before their trip 0:18:42.240 --> 0:18:46.480 to La. I'm on record as being critical of Luke 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:51.639 Fickle's squad, especially his inability to find or develop a quarterback. 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.320 The aforementioned Bryce Underwood will control the game with his 0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:00.000 legs and arms. I expect Michigan to play their best 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.720 game of twenty twenty five. I will take Michigan minus 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:15.920 the seventeen and a half points whack Colorado two and 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.760 three not helpless at TCU three and one, four point 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:25.120 thirty pm on Fox. The Frogs are favored by thirteen 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:28.280 and a half. The Buffaloes were able to stay in 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.119 last week's game versus BYU and cover the six and 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:34.320 a half points in fulsome field, but this week will 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:37.840 be different. The Frogs are back home and I'm expecting 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:43.400 more from quarterback Josh Hoover. TCU Blue a seventeen nothing 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.920 lead at ASU last week and lost twenty seven to 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.080 twenty four. Hoover made a handful of bad decisions with 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.520 hurt the Frogs, which hurt the Frogs cause. But one 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.160 of my string themes of twenty twenty five, Matt has 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.320 been the deon. Sanders might not be bringing the same 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:05.280 fire and energy at Colorado, and it's understandable. I mean, 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.920 he's without a bladder. The roster turnovers got got sponsored 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:13.520 on the side. Yeah, depends the roster turnover and his 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:18.480 health gave him a very, very busy offseason. I feel 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.240 fortunate that Seu covered for me last week, and I'm 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:31.080 taking the Frogs minus thirteen and a half number seven 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:33.800 Penn State. We're going to talk to Ben Boltch in 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.080 our next hour. An hour from now three and one 0:20:37.280 --> 0:20:41.680 at UCLAO and four. This is a twelve thirty game 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.879 on CBS. Nitney Lions favored by twenty four and a half. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.679 Who The Nitney Lions have landed in LA with their 0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:55.359 tails between their legs, A valiant fourth quarter performance to 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:59.240 force overtime, and then they blew last week's game to 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:01.919 Oregon and Happy Valley, and James Franklin had to swallow 0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.920 another loss against a top ten team. He's four and 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:09.439 twenty one in those situations now. But not to worry. 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.639 Ucla is zero and four and probably won't be ranked 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:16.919 again this decade. Penn State will take out its anger 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:21.000 on the Bruins at the Rose Bowl with a comprehensive 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:24.720 ass kicking. I wouldn't be shocked if Penn State doesn't 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:30.320 hang sixty plus on Ucla. Give me Penn State minus 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:40.960 the twenty four and a half. Miami is four and 0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:46.000 oh they're number three in the country at number eighteen. 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.000 Florida State three and one. I remember when this used 0:21:50.000 --> 0:21:55.560 to be Bobby Bowden versus Cocher or Butch Jones. What 0:21:55.680 --> 0:22:00.439 a matchup four point thirty on ABC. I love the 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.600 eighties and nineties when Bobby Bowden's knowles would always miss 0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.720 a field goal wide right or wide left and lose 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.240 this game. Everybody would freak out and muss Burger would 0:22:10.240 --> 0:22:14.240 have a heart attack. Miami leads the all time series 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.080 thirty six to thirty three, but Matt, this rivalry is 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.040 not what it used to be when we were younger. 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.639 It has fallen on hard times and that's a damn shame. 0:22:24.880 --> 0:22:28.720 In the twenty twenties, well, all of the all of 0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:32.720 the blue bloods in Florida been down, you know, Florida State, Yeah, 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:35.800 Miami and Florida. I mean, none of them have been 0:22:35.840 --> 0:22:40.399 consistent since Tim Tebow. I mean when these teams played 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.600 in twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two, neither team 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.960 was even ranked. But now Mario Christobal has Miami nearly 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:50.200 all the way back, but the Canes need to start 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:55.280 making playoff appearances before he gets full credit. Florida State 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.560 is a middling program, but Mike Norvell has done a 0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.000 good job so far this season, climbing back from the 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:06.800 two to ten disaster last season and this year's season 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:11.240 opening Florida State's a big win over Alabama has given 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:15.200 Norvell a lot of value in Tallahassee. But I'm gonna 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.080 ride the home team favorite tomorrow, even though they don't 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:21.520 play near the university. I've got Miami minus four and 0:23:21.560 --> 0:23:30.360 a half points flat. This one's interesting, Matt, Texas number nine, 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:31.880 Remember arch Manning. 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:34.200 Sounds vaguely familiar. 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:39.480 At Florida one in three twelve thirty on Spen, the 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.639 Horns are favored by four and a half. Texas is 0:23:42.680 --> 0:23:44.720 coming off of bye. Maybe that's what that must be 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:46.840 why we haven't heard him Arch in a wie. 0:23:46.880 --> 0:23:47.440 That makes sense. 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.680 Texas is coming off of bye. So all the eyes 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:57.040 will be back on arch Manning. Yeah, and he'll be 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.280 in the swamp to see if he can improve his 0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:04.800 level from a slow start in twenty twenty five. Because 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.600 of the Gators one in three record, this visit from 0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:11.119
