<v Speaker 2>I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>be happy. You want to be happy for a day?

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:14.440

<v Speaker 2>I'm perfect, Ty, thank you for asking me. Could not

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 2>be more excited to be here in the flesh with

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:37.120
<v Speaker 2>you and soon enough in the flesh. It's an uncomfortable

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>way of phrasing. I understand. The construction is odd. It's

0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 2>very exciting to be before, to be near, to be

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 2>amongst our listeners for our live show inducting things in

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the Hall of Fame. Soliverblelive dot com, soliverblelive dot com.

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 2>Make sure you check it out again if you're going

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:59.040
<v Speaker 2>to be in the greater Atlanta area this Friday, December

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.000
<v Speaker 2>the second, six thirty Eastern time, of course, Terminal West.

0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 2>That's live like in a venue, not live like on

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Spotif that's.

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Right, Yeah, that's right, going to be live. Speaking of

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:14.880
<v Speaker 3>the Spotify Live thing. We have gone many weeks now

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 3>of posting excerpts from this show. You and I play games,

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 3>We have fun with all things college football. One aspect

0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>of this show that we have yet to highlight, and

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 3>it's on me, frankly. The people who line up are

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.800
<v Speaker 3>trusted for ballers who line up and want to give

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.320
<v Speaker 3>their two cents, want to give their take, want to

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 3>give their picks for the week ahead. So as luck

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.680
<v Speaker 3>would have it, we got a pretty clean pool of

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 3>the audio this time. Mm hmmm, we're going to play

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 3>that here. So this is what you have to look

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>forward to.

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 2>If you stop on.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 3>By again every Thursday evening five pm East, two pm West,

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>you can hop on stage with us. If you see

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 3>our tweets, we're always talking about hop on stage with us,

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.800
<v Speaker 3>that type of thing. This is what hopping on stage

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:59.760
<v Speaker 3>with us actually sounds like and feels like if you

0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:03.080
<v Speaker 3>were joining us live everygain every Thursday on Spotify. We

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 3>appreciate everybody's participation. It makes the show fun. We're going

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 3>to continue to do it again every Thursday evening. So

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:13.320
<v Speaker 3>enjoy the excerpt, enjoy the weekend. Hope you can make

0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 3>it out to the Atlanta Live show. Hope you can

0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 3>make it to the Spotify Live Show next Thursday again,

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 3>five pm East, two pm West. You know the drill,

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.880
<v Speaker 3>stay solid. Peace. First, we're going to go to Shay,

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 3>who's been waiting patiently. Hello Shae, make sure you're unmuted.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the show.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to Atlanta.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>How are you hey, gentlemen, Good evening. How's Atlanta treating

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>you so far?

0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 3>Good? Good? Yeah, Dan's got a jacket on. It is

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 3>a little nippy here in the hotel room, but we'll.

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Try to be in a hotel room. It's like twenty

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 1>degrees outside here in Wisconsin.

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Brutal, brutal. What you got for us tonight?

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Well you stole my thunder a little bit taking Fresno.

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.119
<v Speaker 1>They are plus three now. By the way, the line

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.640
<v Speaker 1>has moved okay since since maybe you made that pick.

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:57.639
<v Speaker 1>But I will say that as a backup I had

0:02:57.680 --> 0:03:02.440
<v Speaker 1>ready to go. Tomorrow at one pm Eastern, we have Akron.

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>We have Buffalo, Buffalo playing for a bowl game. Hell yeah,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 1>and they have won. They won on a five game

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 1>winning streak. Like mid season, they kind of fell off

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit playing a little bit stronger competition. Ohio.

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>They lost by a little bit to Kent State.

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Akron Akrons two and nine. The game was rescheduled.

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo has everything to play for, an Acron has nothing

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>in Buffalo's only favored by eleven. I'll take him by

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.800
<v Speaker 1>at least two touchdowns, and that's that's my pick.

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I like it on the beating.

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 3>Path, going heavy Buffalo. Thank you, Shay, we appreciate it.

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 3>Let's go on over who's in the chat here? Who

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 3>do we got? Catherine? What up, Catherine? What do you

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:40.119
<v Speaker 3>got for us?

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Hey, y'all.

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm also going to pick a team that is playing

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 4>for a bowl game. I'm going to pick New Mexico State.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>This weekend.

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 4>I do have a side a side note, if y'all.

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 3>Don't mind, please.

0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, it was.

0:03:57.400 --> 0:04:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Gonna be about Auburn, but then I you know, this

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 4>kind of chat went on.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I just want.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>To kind of take a pause here and think about

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 4>college football. The most games that a team can play

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 4>in any season is fifteen. The maximum number of games

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 4>that a player can be on a team for is

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 4>I guess technically seventy five, assuming the red shirt one

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.919
<v Speaker 4>year and taking out the weird COVID stuff. I think

0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 4>that any kind of concept, and.

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 1>It's not just y'all.

0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 4>It's been something that's been popping up as people think

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.880
<v Speaker 4>about the playoff and all this other stuff. Expansion, the

0:04:34.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 4>idea of any of these players or any of these

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 4>teams deciding that they're going to tank a game or

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 4>that they're going to not have anything to play for.

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 4>I think that that just kind of goes against the

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 4>entire ethos of college football as a chaotic, wacky collection

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 4>of you know, eighteen to twenty two year olds who,

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 4>even when they have nothing to play for, all of

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 4>a sudden can beat Lshue for no good reason except

0:04:57.440 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 4>despite us. So I just wanted to kind of that

0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 4>points as we're talking about.

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 2>To be clear, I didn't think it would happen, to

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.080
<v Speaker 2>be clear, I know.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 4>But I think that's worth having a conversation because even

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:14.039
<v Speaker 4>in kind of like in different spaces, it's been brought

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.400
<v Speaker 4>up in different you know, y'all know I'm in a comment.

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Section, like sure you are, the comment section.

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Well sometimes, but it's just something that I think needed

0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.160
<v Speaker 4>to be said, and I felt like saying it.

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Also a really bad hire. Oh yeah, so.

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Thanks guys, of course, thank you as always.

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 3>Catherine, always very thoughtful. We appreciate that. Yeah, I mean

0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 3>the tanking thing. I mean people have twisted themselves in

0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 3>knots on the pro level when it shuts up, right,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:45.200
<v Speaker 3>is it?

0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Is?

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 3>It? Is it? You know? Is it cool to do that?

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Is?

0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean the NBA doesn't know what to do about it, right,

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:52.760
<v Speaker 3>it's been.

0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, they've changed up the way that the lottery works

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 2>so you can't just automatically get the topic or one

0:05:58.000 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of the top two or three picks, right. They've changed

0:06:00.120 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>up the percentages. And we've seen it with football NFL

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>in years past, like should we play our starters since

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.200
<v Speaker 2>we've already clinched a playoff spot and we I don't

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 2>know what it's called. Now they're week eighteen now because

0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>they play seventeen games. So that's that is. You know,

0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not nearly as true with college football. But also

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>you can say, this is me just going out into

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>a silly tangent. You can say, why don't we play

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>some younger players because some older players are beat up

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 2>and let's not force them to play through injuries in

0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>this specific moment. I don't think it happens. But also

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>you're like Okay, we are up by this many points.

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's play younger players earlier than we usually would in

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 2>a game like this.

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean, I don't think tanking per se and

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:43.880
<v Speaker 3>we'll move on here. I know we've got people who

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 3>are cute up. I don't think tanking per se is

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.440
<v Speaker 3>something that we will see in college football before, players

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.239
<v Speaker 3>not wanting to play more games in an expanded playoff universe.

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Before you know, coaches talking more openly about not playing

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 3>guys who are injury risks, maybe altering point spreads in

0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 3>an unintended way, not wanting to risk injury to some

0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.640
<v Speaker 3>of the players who are going to have to play

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 3>in a playoff. That is not direct tanking, no, but

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 3>it is something that has an impact on, you know,

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 3>the college football equivalent of a Week eighteen or a

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.920
<v Speaker 3>conference championship game or whatever form this thing takes on.

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 3>In many ways, we are pushing into new territory with

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>college football right now, nil, with transfer portals, with coaches

0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 3>getting insane money, that the expanded playoff universe, which appears

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 3>as if it's going to happen. We don't even talk

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 3>about that because that became official detailed, well not even yet,

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>but it's it's it's trending in that direction for the

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty twenty four season.

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 2>No, No, the playoff actually announced it because the Rose

0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Bowl agreement. Yeah, the Rosebull acquiesced It's twenty twenty four

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>as a twelve team playoff.

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we knew it was going to happen one

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.600
<v Speaker 3>way or yeah, but the fact that we are now

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 3>diving headfirst into this world is who knows what kind

0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 3>of ramification. So it's a it's a great conversation. And

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 3>thank you Catherine for kind of taking us down that

0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:05.560
<v Speaker 3>path a little bit more. Where do we want to

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 3>go next?

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Here?

0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's go to Mark Mark. Welcome aboard. Unmute yourself, sir,

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 3>how are you? You are muted currently?

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Now you're not?

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:14.720
<v Speaker 3>Hello?

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 5>Hey, hey, thanks for having me guys, joy listening to

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:23.080
<v Speaker 5>your show. I'm a big Michigan actual about hundred miles

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 5>from me goes to Eisty, Alabama.

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>Nice.

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:29.360
<v Speaker 5>But and my thing is, I would say, I know

0:08:29.720 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 5>Michigan Ohio State Day last week. That was a great game.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 5>I love seeing JJ McCarthy play that game. Last week.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 5>I thought that was like, I think he's gonna be

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 5>the best, gonna be one of the best quarterbacks of

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.440
<v Speaker 5>Michigan history if he keeps going on like that and

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 5>does not get hurt in the next couple of years.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 5>But I would like to say this week, I would

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 5>think that Michigan, after coming off that high and not

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 5>having that novelty of having to win the Big Ten

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 5>for the first time in a long time I did

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 5>last year, I'm almost thinking that Perdue might have a

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 5>better chance to play play under the I think Michigan

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 5>will win, but I would think that Michigan might play

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.200
<v Speaker 5>a little down after coming down off that game against

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 5>Ohio State. Now I know that you guys have always

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.040
<v Speaker 5>talked to I've been talking in the season about the

0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 5>bite from Nebraska, but now Michigan has not had that

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 5>effect as of yet. I'm kind of leary that Michigan

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 5>could let this one get by them a little bit.

0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 3>If they you know, Yeah, thank you, thank you, Mark

0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:32.000
<v Speaker 3>for hopping on with us here. I appreciate that sentiment

0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 3>because I feel like everywhere I've looked, and certainly between

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 3>you and I, it's all been very pro Michigan. Even

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 3>after the Blake Korum stuff, It's like, Wow, They're still

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:42.480
<v Speaker 3>going to run away with this thing. The points where

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.120
<v Speaker 3>it hasn't really moved all that much. So it's it's

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.079
<v Speaker 3>refreshing in a sense to get a different point of

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 3>view on that Michigan could play down. Michigan has played down.

0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 3>So I played down to Illinois, right, we saw, sure,

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities, especially

0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 3>in already a wacky college football season, for that type

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:00.920
<v Speaker 3>of thing to go down.

0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 2>So the thing is the case against Michigan covering and

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>struggling a bit with Purdue is basically looking at the

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State game as an offensive anomaly. That the way

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.680
<v Speaker 2>that they've won has been wearing teams down on the

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:15.960
<v Speaker 2>ground with a running back who's not available for the

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.520
<v Speaker 2>rest of the year, largely with the running back who's

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.360
<v Speaker 2>not available for the rest of the year, and that

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 2>they didn't have an especially explosive offense, especially through the air,

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and then it happened against Ohio State, and we've seen

0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 2>other teams do a good job in keeping the Michigan

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>offense in front of them. What the Michigan State score,

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>even though was what the final was, twenty nine to

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 2>seven or something like that. I think they had one

0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.960
<v Speaker 2>offensive drive, essentially offensive touchdown drive in that game. And

0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>so there is that concern that because teams have turned

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.720
<v Speaker 2>sevens into threes when Michigan has the ball, that it

0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>becomes a more difficult cover job. That Michigan can control

0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>this game and win it thirty three to twenty, right,

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.320
<v Speaker 2>or you know, twenty eight to seventeen and not cover

0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 2>even though it never seemed to be in doubt because

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>they came up short on third and eight on the

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 2>fourteen or something like that. That's the concern if you're

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 2>looking at this as like, Okay, Purdue's defense might just

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 2>be good enough to keep Michigan's offense in front of

0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 2>them if they're keying in on the run on a

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>still beat up Donovan Edwards and so in a letdown spot.

0:11:18.240 --> 0:11:20.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't buy it because we've seen it before where

0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 2>and I don't I think Purdue is much better than Rutgers.

0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.199
<v Speaker 2>But we saw that slow start against Rutgers and then

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 2>what happened interception interception, interception, and it's the defense that

0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 2>wears down the other team and it just makes life

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>easier for the offense. Ultimately, that's why I think Michigan covers.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 2>But the case is, I think it's pretty clear it's

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>pretty clear.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Let's do one more because we do have this interview

0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.880
<v Speaker 3>excerpt that we want to play for Kreischer. Can't believe

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 3>it's so good, can't. We had a chance to chat

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 3>with him earlier today. We wanted to have him on

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.679
<v Speaker 3>the show forever, and we finally were able to make

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 3>it happen here from the mobile Atlanta studio today, let's

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 3>go to Ken to close things out here before we

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.840
<v Speaker 3>play part of that interview. Hey, Ken, how are you? Who?

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:01.440
<v Speaker 2>Ken?

0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Hey?

0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>I phoned that out.

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to say, Hey, love you guys, be

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>proud of you forgetting Bert Kreusher.

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 3>Cee. LSU is gonna beat the breaks.

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Off Georgia this weekend. Yeah, Ken ups, not a clutch

0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:18.400
<v Speaker 1>whatever the breaks off of Love y'all have a wonderful night.

0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Kim. What a way to go out. Okay

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>you are not Ken spokesperson, But should LSU beat the

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 2>breaks off of Georgia? What is what is the cause?

0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 2>What is the engine of LSU beating the engine?

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.920
<v Speaker 3>The engine is Jade daniels Man, The engine is Jane

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Daniels I mean the engine has been Jane daniels in

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 3>all the big games that LSU has won, and you

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 3>know they've had obviously, they've had guys step up on defense, right,

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:49.320
<v Speaker 3>our guy Harry Perky, Right, I mean he continues to

0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.520
<v Speaker 3>get better week in and week out. And you know,

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 3>is he kind of guy who can make a difference

0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 3>on a couple different levels.

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Looks to be a Winter wonder already.

0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I mean is he that type of talent?

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.439
<v Speaker 3>I think so. I think he needs more support, right,

0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:04.920
<v Speaker 3>But I think Elisi's a really good side. I just

0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.080
<v Speaker 3>think they need to get some of the other pieces

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 3>of the offense.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I've been watching a lot of Worldview too.

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I've been I've been watching a lot of World Cup,

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:16.400
<v Speaker 3>excuse me. So I think if it happens, I mean,

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:19.280
<v Speaker 3>it's probably cliche at this point to say it's Jane Daniels,

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:23.120
<v Speaker 3>but I think it is probably Jane Daniels leading the

0:13:23.200 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 3>charge in tandem with some of those other weapons on offense,

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.760
<v Speaker 3>whether it's him being able to throw down field to

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.840
<v Speaker 3>Molik Neighbors, to Sean Boody, you know, like getting it

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.360
<v Speaker 3>working through the passing game, I think is probably the

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.400
<v Speaker 3>way to do it for Jane Daniels and then making

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 3>things happen with his legs. You know, it probably is

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 3>not more complicated than that, I am. I am skeptical

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 3>that Georgia woolfall victim to it. But Georgia also has

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:53.920
<v Speaker 3>had some moments this season where they play with their

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.959
<v Speaker 3>food too. To the earlier point of maybe Michigan plays down.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 3>Georgia doesn't necessarily need to win this game, right, George

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:05.240
<v Speaker 3>is probably and already so I'm not I'm not implying tanking,

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 3>but I am implying perhaps there's a chance Georgia plays

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:13.400
<v Speaker 3>down and perhaps a super motivated LSU team comes again.

0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 3>A few like a hop, skip and a jump away

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:19.440
<v Speaker 3>from US and Kim pull an upset. I don't know.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's more defense. I would say defense

0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 2>and special teams, but I don't know if I've always

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 2>trust lcu's special teams. Yeah, I think it's more defense, right.

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I think it's havoc. I think it's scoopid scores. I

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>think it's you know, an interception that necessarily is a

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 2>pick six but flips the field. I think anything that

0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:39.560
<v Speaker 2>makes the offense's job easier. I think that's probably the

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 2>recipe for LSU winning this game. I don't see the

0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 2>recipe for right, it's short field, it's freak plays, and

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.320
<v Speaker 2>it's that's that's invented. Is not a perfect quarterback. It's

0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 2>it's that maybe Georgia goes into this game so confident

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 2>in winning that they're not showing all that much ahead

0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 2>of the playoff. They feel like they can show just enough,

0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, show sixty three percent their playbooks, you know,

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.880
<v Speaker 2>come up with a very conservative game plan because that's

0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 2>sort of been their mo is right to get a

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:06.880
<v Speaker 2>comfortable enough lead and.

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Shut it down. I'll tell you what the bummer is.

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 3>The bummer about this game, no offense to this beautiful city. Yeah,

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 3>the bummer is that the game is in Georgia. Because

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:20.200
<v Speaker 3>you gotta believe most of the people out there who

0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 3>aren't Georgia fans root for LSU.

0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah.

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 3>They want LSU to pull this up something new and

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.680
<v Speaker 3>so it may not feel that way in the stadium,

0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 3>but certainly out there in the Twitter sphere, on our

0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 3>discord averbowlers dot Com shameless plug, Yeah, people are going

0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:38.160
<v Speaker 3>to be rooting for LSU.

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I just hope Tiger fans who were considering traveling

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 2>that that energy wasn't tamped down by the loss last

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 2>week to A and M. Now that they're represented well

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 2>in the Mercedes whatever,
