WEBVTT - Going Bowling!

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid verbal hell that for me, I'm

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a man. I've heard so many players say, well, I

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>want to be happy. You want to be happy for

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>day Edith State is that Woo whoo?

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:20.759
<v Speaker 2>And them and Tye welcome back to the solid Rebo

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>boys and girls. My name is ty Hildebrandt, joining me

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:28.360
<v Speaker 2>as always your Notre Dame hater in chief Dan Rubenstein, Sir,

0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>how are you?

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I honestly didn't think I said anything, and I know that.

0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>My only regret about what I said about, you know,

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the the nullified November win over Clemson, now that Notre

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Dame got wiped off the field in the conference championship game, Dame,

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I think nover Dame. Brian Pumpkins spice Brian right. The

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>only regret I have about what I said was just personally,

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I was dunking on you a little bit.

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't care I'm about that. I know you're about

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>you were dugging on yourself. That was one of the

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>worst arguments you've ever made. Wait, one of the worst

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 1>arguments I've ever made.

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 2>The whole thing about invalidating the earlier win that was

0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>That was one of the more Asini comments you've ever made.

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>You buyd a commemorative issue of whatever magazine celebrating the

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame win over Clemson. Now it's just as meaningful. No,

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I didn't say it was just as meaningful.

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 2>It definitely takes This was my whole point. No, you

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 2>said it nullified. It said it nullified it. That's what

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 2>I have it on tape. I listened back, I edited it,

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I cleaned it.

0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so did I. But I mean, we can get

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 1>into this later, because we should introduce what we have

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a new co host, Danny Cannell stopping by a canal.

0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Shout out Ship Patterson, shoutout Barnes Simmons, shout out Tom Fornellie.

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>My argument was, if you're gonna like, okay, here is

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>why Notre Dame is still a playoff team. They beat

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Clemson just like what, but not meaningfully anymore. You can

0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>talk about North Carolina. I suppose you can talk about,

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, starting slow against Syracuse and then pouring it on,

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>talk about other teams in the ACC, but I don't

0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>know about you know, is Clemson that same feather ty?

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Listen, let's get into this. Let's get into this later.

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:25.959
<v Speaker 2>People don't want to hear us argue at the very

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 2>top of the show.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, if Notre Dame fans are upset about something,

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>then a vast majority of people are pretty cool with thes.

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh they're fine with it, And I'm Fuinnie to dunk

0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 2>on me. I don't care, Mama. H By the way,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I think I told you.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>This that I regret that too.

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Great lady thought that there may be legit tension between

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>you and I because of the Notre Dame conversation. I'm like, Mom,

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>We've been doing this since two thousand and eight. We've

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 2>talked about a lot of stuff between then and now.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think a little conversation about Notre Dame's twenty

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>four point loss to Clemson is really going to bring

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:01.359
<v Speaker 2>the whole ship down.

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>But no, Also, Notre Dame fans are used to this

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>happening in December January. This is nothing. This is you

0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:15.359
<v Speaker 1>guys are season veterans. Okay, Okay, we'll get into this.

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.000
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into this. We'll get into this. So here

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>is the deal. One and all. We are the solid verbol.

0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.760

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>all throughout Bowl season, all throughout the off season, for

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>what it's worth, We're still drawing up what our plans

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:34.239
<v Speaker 2>look like. This is for the vast majority of you,

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:39.400

<v Speaker 2>I know there are many. We also do have our

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Patreon which is going strong out there at verbowlers dot com.

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>The Winter Wonders game is starting to ratchet up. We

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 2>had our first interesting prop bet of the Bowl season

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.159
<v Speaker 2>last evening. We're recording this on a Tuesday as app

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>State one big over North Texas. But we had that

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 2>little side prop. How many times are the announcers going

0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 2>to bring up the famous app State win over Michigan?

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:30.559
<v Speaker 1>And what was the number?

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Set that line at one and a half, There was

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>exactly one mention, one mention in passing and of course

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.039
<v Speaker 2>they're still talking about the big win over Michigan and

0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>that was it.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well I was banking if you were going to

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.719
<v Speaker 1>go on the over one and a half. They're banking

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>on a mension and a clip later on, like we mentioned,

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>of course two thousand and seven app State over Michigan.

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Who could forget this moment? That's what I was banking on.

0:04:57.680 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>But listen, congrats to everybody what the under, everyone who

0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:01.120
<v Speaker 1>had the under.

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>So what we're going to do today is we've got

<v Speaker 2>a bunch of coaching news, a bunch of news news

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.960

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and then we're going to go through all the Bowl

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>games and talk through some of the Bowl swag as

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 2>we do often on this show, as we do every

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>year on this show. We can't put together kind of

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>a normal Bowl preview because just the timeline doesn't work out.

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 2>We're going to do our best to rifle through as

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:31.520
<v Speaker 2>many games as possible and just off the top of

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 2>our heads, give some instant feedback, instant reactions. Some of

<v Speaker 2>Winter Wonders games. So I've got point spreads here for

<v Speaker 2>we often do ball season, just maybe not in as.

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Much detail as you might be accustomed for yourself. Tie, Okay,

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I know, No, I don't know. I don't know anything.

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. But if I did, it would have

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>been a key fourth down conversion. Tye, just for you,

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>thank you, thank you for you.

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 2>Auburn, who is gonna be Auburn's coach? They've been turned

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>down now by Billy Napier, Bill Clark. Kevin Steele appears

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to be out as well, because some scuttle butt that

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>Auburn might be trying to control the staff Brent Vnables

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 2>was rumored as of this morning, and then quickly unrumored

0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 2>as it was announced that he is staying push at Clemson.

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>The joke that we've got going sidebar between you and

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 2>I is at Auburn has put itself in a situation

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>now where they're going to have to vastly overpay for

0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>somebody's It seems like it's going to that place. That

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>may be fine depending on who that name is, but

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>they're going to Jimbo Fisher territory, not literal Jimbo Fisher,

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>but Jimbo Fisher contract territory pretty quickly.

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Russ Dalson new head coach Auburn University. Yeah, no, it's

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the Texas A and M thing was a lot more

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>fluid than this. There were, of course, the rumors are

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.640
<v Speaker 1>not more fluid, a lot smoother sailing in terms of

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>finding their head coach. There were rumors that Jimbo was

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>unhappy and the text same one was interested, and then

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.560
<v Speaker 1>it just worked out. Text A and M paid him

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a whole bunch of money and he showed up in

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 1>boots and pet horses and everything kind of worked out.

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Hunky Dory a little rough early on, but you know,

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>on the precipice of a playoff Berth this year we

0:07:58.520 --> 0:07:59.320
<v Speaker 1>will see less.

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So, yeah, who are what are what are some of

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the names that are still out there? Dan and what

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 2>are some of the names that we would find most

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.800
<v Speaker 2>amusing given circumstances.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>At this point, like all of the names that sort

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>of made sense. Bill Clark at UAB in State and

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 1>certainly what he's done with a much smaller program and

0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the continued success they've had in Birmingham. Billy Napier and

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what he's done in Louisiana. You know, there was I

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's a more of a faction thing that they're

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>just they're not all in lockstep behind a strategy and

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a candidate and a type of candidate because you know,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>is it an internal guy and Kevin Steele, is it,

0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, a bigger school guy like Brent Venables at

0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:43.840
<v Speaker 1>d C or Mario Christobal head coach at Oregon. Like

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:45.839
<v Speaker 1>it just seems they're sort of all over the place

0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and exactly what they're looking for, which is fine, but

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it changes by the day that their

0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>steam around. One guy like yesterday I think was Billy Napier,

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>This morning was Brent Venables, who apparently spoke to them.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.680
<v Speaker 1>On Monday, there was Tony Elliott conversation. Uh, you know,

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 1>throughout what the Sark is out, Apparently Sark is hanging

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>around Tuscaloosa. I just I don't know. I think I

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:10.880
<v Speaker 1>think we're at the point where it's just going to

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>be like, yep, Jeff Brahm is the new opern head coach.

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Ah Man, all right, well we'll keep you up the

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>speed on that one. Some of the other coaching scuttle

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:27.239
<v Speaker 2>But out there Arizona supposedly down to Jedfish, the quarterback

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.880
<v Speaker 2>coach for the Patriots. Yeah, was that Michigan UCLA, Yeah, Yeah,

0:09:31.920 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>he's been around. And Brett Brennan from San Jose State

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 2>ken Nia Matalolo is apparently out of the running. He

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.640
<v Speaker 2>was mentioned as a possibility there.

0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he spoke to them, but it appeared that

0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>there were reports that they were down to Fish and Brennan. Yeah.

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>We didn't mention Fish in some of the I guess

0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.680
<v Speaker 2>earlier reporting that we had done or had reported on

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 2>when this announcement first came down, But Brett Brennan was

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 2>a name that immediately surfaced given what he's done at

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 2>San Jose State.

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 1>See which direction they go.

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 2>In coordinator news LSU has fired both Bo Polini and

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Scott Linehan defense and.

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:12.880
<v Speaker 1>Offense Passing game coordinator.

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, passing game coordinator sure, And on the flip side

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>of that, I guess Texas Tech making a pretty big

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>move hiring Sonny Comby away from TCU to be their

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:26.880
<v Speaker 2>new offensive coordinator. You may recall at the start of

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the year Gary Patterson brought Sonny Comby back, now Senny

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Comby going down to Lubbick.

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Also Steve Nsbinger retiring the offensive coordinator who helped with

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe Brady to develop that record breaking offense and certainly

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:45.160
<v Speaker 1>could not replicate it this year with a whole bunch

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of injuries and opt outs and a different situation in

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Baton Rouge. But hopefully Texas Tech can get their offense

0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to a healthier place than where it was this year

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>with David Yost. And you know, they've had quarterback injuries.

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>There are reasons for things rolling out the way that

0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 1>they did. But hopefully, yeah, hopefully there's some more offense

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>down there in Lubbock. Just regular news news, Tie, Iowa,

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.319
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina, Tennessee all with COVID issues and pulling out

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.319
<v Speaker 1>of bowl games. Army is replacing Tennessee in the Liberty Bowl.

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>South Carolina no longer playing in your favorite bowl, the

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Gasparilla Bowl. Yeah, and I guess it's TBD at the

0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>time of our recording, Iowa's Bowl plans in the Music

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 1>City Bowl against Miszoo. A lot of black and yellow

0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>in that game. Tie. I know it's cold, but black

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and yellow. Dan Mullen was hit with the show cause,

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 1>which is a very confusing phraseology considering he has a job,

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and show causes generally associated with coaches who aren't working,

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and they shouldn't work unless they can prove that it

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>wasn't their fault. There NCAA issues. But yeah, he has

0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>prohibited Dan Mullen, head coach Florida off campus recruiting during

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the fall twenty twenty evaluation period and a four day

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>off campus recruiting band during the fall twenty twenty one

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>contact period. It's regarding him talking to a recruit on

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a high school campus, and I guess there was proof

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>that they had scheduled the talk, so it wasn't just

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the bump in rule that sometimes coaches can

0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>get away with breaking rules and claiming a bunch of

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>transfer portal activity here, Ty, I don't know if any

0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>of these names stood out to you. If you want

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to go through them, go for it, Okay, Well, Jarrick Garontano,

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>of course at Tennessee that was pretty recent. He is

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>entering the portal. Jacob Sermon, who was a blue chip

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback at Washington. He of course lost out the starting

0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 1>gig to Dylan Morris. He's moving on to Central Michigan,

0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:40.079
<v Speaker 1>which I think is a pretty impressive move, right. Jim

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Mcowain has done pretty well with quarterbacks. Patrick O'Brien at

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Colorado State, Cassim Hill from Maryland to Tennessee, now to

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Rhode Island. Garrett Schrader, who was promising as a freshman,

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:53.239
<v Speaker 1>he goes to Western New York to the Carrier Dome Syracuse.

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Tanner Mordecai at Oklahoma, Quincy Patterson Virginia Tech to North

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Dakota State. Wow, former blue chip quarterback. Nice, nice little get.

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I guess North Dakota State just keeps on

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>winning games, and you know, Trey Lance probably get drafted

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Ye Bison. Anthony Russo Temple Grand Gunnell, former high regarded

0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and started Arizona moves on with Kevin someone getting fired, Uh,

0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:23.839
<v Speaker 1>your boy King kne Rocky Lombardi, a bunch of guys.

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Penn State has John Lovett, the Baylor running back. Yeah,

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 1>so they were hit pretty hard with injuries and of

0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>course Journey Brown's health situation, so they're building that room.

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Back up a couple of big NFL declarations. Nick Bolton,

0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>who you love going into the season and backed it

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>all up from a zoo at linebacker, and Miami's bookends

0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of Quincy Roche and Jalen Phillips have decided to opt

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>out of the cheese At Bowl, opting out of glory

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 1>tie opting out of cheese At Bowl glory to prepare

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>for the NFL Draft. I think those are all like

0:13:56.280 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the personnel situations that jumped out both coaches and player wise.

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>But we have a whole list of bowl games that

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>we mentioned. Do we mention the Arizona Bowl thing in

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 1>San Jose State? Oh, that's right, that's the other situation.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.320
<v Speaker 2>That's the other situation. So right now there remains a

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit of uncertainty whether San Jose State, the real

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Spartans as we've refer to them, or the show are

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.440
<v Speaker 2>even going to be able to board a plane to

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 2>get to the Arizona Bowl because it may violate county

0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:34.320
<v Speaker 2>quarantine guidelines. That is, according to the Santa Clara County

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Executive Officer, doctor Jeff Smith. So, look, these are weird times.

0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>We got teams opting out, we got players opting out.

0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 2>San Jose State has been a great story for like

0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 2>eighty five different reasons. I'm sure they've had eighty five

0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 2>different challenges, if not more, that they've had to deal

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.760
<v Speaker 2>with in this age of COVID. This just happens to

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 2>be another one. It would be a shame if they

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 2>weren't able to play in this Bowl game. However, if

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 2>it violates rules of violates the rules. So I don't

0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:04.760
<v Speaker 2>really have much else to add there. It's just something

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 2>to keep your eye on. I know a lot of

0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:08.680
<v Speaker 2>folks are out there trying to figure out, like.

0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Who do we pick, who do we like? What do

0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>we do about the Arizona BWL. I don't know.

0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll try to go through it as best we can

0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and talk about gifts. But that's at least the state

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.640
<v Speaker 2>of play right now in Santa Clara County.

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Do you hear the music? I do? Do you know what?

0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 1>That's the theme too? I'd be so impressed. And you

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 1>know what, there's like a fourteen and a half percent chance,

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, come on time, No, nothing, I.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Can't hear it that well? Who framed Roger Rabbit? No,

0:15:42.560 --> 0:15:46.240
<v Speaker 2>that's the theme to ourgo. Oh if there's a little

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 2>bit of a officer, a little bit off, uh, threatening

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>to block San Jose State from boarding a plane, I

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:52.920
<v Speaker 2>got to rewatch argo.

0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>To me, it's an all time modern I guess not

0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>all time modern, but it's a great one of the

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>modern era. I enjoyed Ourgo thoroughly. Should we go with bulls?

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Should we go with bulls?

0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Way?

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's play this.

0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's make it a December to remember Dan here on

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the podcast. We've got a full bowl list. Don't know

0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 2>if we're going to go in order. I'm making this

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 2>way more dramatic than.

0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>It needs to be. Oh, I like it. Keep going.

0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Let me fade this out here. We've got a pretty

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 2>good list. This is not going to go in chronological order.

0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 2>This is really just the order in which you threw

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:32.320
<v Speaker 2>them up here on the document.

0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>And that's fine. Yeah, that's fine.

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with the good Year Cotton Bowl because I

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.400
<v Speaker 2>think this is one of the more intriguing matchups. It's

0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.480
<v Speaker 2>certainly a top ten matchup. We've got a couple of

0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:47.880
<v Speaker 2>those that will discuss number six Oklahoma number seven Florida.

0:16:47.960 --> 0:16:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Florida favored by three play this one in December the thirtieth.

0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a readout here on the gifts. They

0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:57.920
<v Speaker 2>would not disclose the gifts.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>For reporting from the Sports Business Journal.

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:09.880
<v Speaker 2>So good matchup striking is one that's going to mean

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.200
<v Speaker 2>more for Oklahoma than Florida. You know my deal when

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 2>it comes to Bowls season? Which team is in it

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.160
<v Speaker 2>to win it more? Which team does this game mean more?

0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:20.440
<v Speaker 1>Too?

0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 2>I think the answer here is Oklahoma because Florida had

0:17:24.280 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 2>a crack at Alabama. They lost a good game. They lost.

0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Pitts is opting out. He's already opted out, I guess,

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.320
<v Speaker 2>which shouldn't come as a huge surprise.

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 2>The over under seventy two and a half. So I

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.440
<v Speaker 2>think we're gonna see a lot of points one way

0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:40.040
<v Speaker 2>or the other.

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would say, I would say more than So

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:45.920
<v Speaker 1>then which team wants to be there more? Which team

0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>lost their best player? Well? Right, it's tough.

0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm tempted to go Oklahoma here, and not because

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 2>I think they're better than Florida on a neutral field

0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.520
<v Speaker 2>during the regular season, But given circumstance, is I think

0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma has more to play for, a younger team coming

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.120
<v Speaker 2>together at a good time.

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Florida's good. But I just don't see why they're motivated

0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to play in this one. I don't know, you still

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>get to play on national TV against a top ten team.

0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I get why. In twenty twenty, you know,

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.080
<v Speaker 1>teams are less motivated and you know, opting out for

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 1>NFL prep or opting out just to spend time with

0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>their family around New Year's and the holidays, whatever. But

0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I think there's motivation here for Florida. They I mean,

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they went into the Alabama game thinking

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that they were going to get into the playoff. You

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 1>know that they were gonna beat Alabama. This is the

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.760
<v Speaker 1>reality that they live in. But you get to play Oklahoma,

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>you get to play in what Jerry world? That's where

0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:42.760
<v Speaker 1>this game is. Yep, Yep. I think there's excitement around there.

0:18:43.480 --> 0:18:47.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a great matchup and it's Bob Stoopsy right, Florida Oklahoma,

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Florida Oklahoma. Sure, Yeah, it's a great matchup. It really is,

0:18:51.800 --> 0:18:54.439
<v Speaker 1>and one of the few here that I'm genuinely excited

0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to see.

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Beau. I think it's gonna be a lot of points.

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's gonna be a ton of fun. Don't

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.800
<v Speaker 2>expect a lot of defense. That's why the over under

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:02.680
<v Speaker 2>is seventy three seventy two and a half.

0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me, so good matchup.

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm tempted to go Oklahoma plus the points

0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:15.160
<v Speaker 2>and probably Oklahoma outright in my confidence pool.

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:16.520
<v Speaker 1>Again, this is my thing.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 2>It may not make sense to anybody else, but my

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.679
<v Speaker 2>thing is all about motivation and bowl season, and I

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.200
<v Speaker 2>think that's only going to be magnified this year, where

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:29.680
<v Speaker 2>we've got teams in various states of caring because of COVID.

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm just I'm gonna lean into it even harder this year.

0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:36.159
<v Speaker 2>So give me Oklahoma, all right.

0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And if you're going to this game, you can eat

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:41.439
<v Speaker 1>really well because DFW has good food options. Go to

0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the Chick fil A Peach Bowl.

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of eating well, mm hm. I drove by a

0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.119
<v Speaker 2>Chick fil A earlier today. I had to run the

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:49.080
<v Speaker 2>pop up to the vet.

0:19:49.600 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Did you get anything? I thought about it, but there

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.800
<v Speaker 1>was a come. See. Here's the thing. Here is the

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.000
<v Speaker 1>problem about the Chick fil A that I frequent uh huh.

0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 2>The problem is that they do not have an optimal

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:04.639
<v Speaker 2>drive through setup, and if you go at any point

0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 2>around lunch time, you are really risking an accident.

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding. I've sat outside.

0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:15.040
<v Speaker 2>I've seen near misses there, okay, and especially now where

0:20:15.040 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>people aren't going inside everyone's using the drive backing up.

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not going to put myself or my pup,

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:27.520
<v Speaker 2>who was traumatized by a visit to the vet, into

0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 2>harm's way by doing that.

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 1>So I declined. So this is just a story to

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 1>tell me you drove by a Chick fil A today? No,

0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I took the dog to the vet, okay, and on

0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the way back considered stopping a Chick fil A for lunch,

0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>but I didn't pull the trigger. So tell the people

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.040
<v Speaker 1>what you had for lunch in its place. I just

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 1>had a salad here at home. It was boring. It

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:51.240
<v Speaker 1>wasn't as good I know. Okay, Cincinnati, Georgia, it sort

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 1>of reeks of what U c F Auburn a little bit. Well,

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you have this yeah five team who has a great season.

0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think people were fully expecting them to make

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the playoff, even though they went undefeated, but they have

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.000
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to prove that they belong with the biggest

0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:09.360
<v Speaker 1>of boys. Even though Georgia lost a couple games this year,

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>but certainly with JT. Daniels, looks much improved offensively. And

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.640
<v Speaker 1>the game is what's in Atlanta, right, the peach bawl.

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for whatever is that worked for or against George,

0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:20.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, for whatever it's worth, it's basically

0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 2>a home game for Georgia. Both teams are going to

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:29.680
<v Speaker 2>be motivated here. In my view, Like you said, George

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>has played really well down the stretch, especially since JT.

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Daniels came in and kind of infused that offense with

0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:40.520
<v Speaker 2>some energy. Meanwhile, since like this is their de facto

0:21:40.640 --> 0:21:44.800
<v Speaker 2>national championship game, sure this is their de facto championship game.

0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 2>The line is seven in favor of Georgia over under

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 2>about fifty points, so Vegas expecting a relatively low scoring game.

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 2>I do think George is a better team. I think

0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:01.359
<v Speaker 2>they'll win, but seven's a lot here to me, seventh

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>a lot. The only reason that I am hedging and

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 2>not jumping in full speed on not just Cincinnati as

0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:15.600
<v Speaker 2>a dog, but pretty much every dog given circumstances, is

0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 2>because the Georgia defense is really good and I don't

0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:22.200
<v Speaker 2>think Cincinnati's seen anything close to this Georgia defense. I'm

0:22:22.240 --> 0:22:24.800
<v Speaker 2>not sure that their offense is going to be as

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:26.359
<v Speaker 2>productive going up against the Dogs.

0:22:26.520 --> 0:22:29.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't expect it. Well, what did Georgia's defense finish

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in the d analytics? Not really the analytics, but this

0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 1>is twenty fourth in points per drivel out minus garbage time,

0:22:37.880 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>right there with Oregon. So what does that mean for you? Oh,

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a lean yet. I haven't really jumped

0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>into the specifics in this game, and I think there's

0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna be opt outs between now in the time we

0:22:48.480 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>preview this game. But no, I'm excited to see how

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati's defense is able to perhaps confuse and hound some

0:22:56.840 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>really talented elements of the Georgia offense and vice versa.

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:02.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm this one. I have circled as one

0:23:02.960 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of the more watchable games. And we've got a gift

0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:06.199
<v Speaker 1>suite we do have.

0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 2>We have a report here on their official gifts for

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:11.240
<v Speaker 2>the participants.

0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Gift suite three hundred and ninety dollars MasterCard, gift card, Okay,

0:23:16.520 --> 0:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>fossil watch and a commemorative football Now without fully knowing

0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:22.040
<v Speaker 1>what's available in the gift suite and how many points

0:23:22.080 --> 0:23:26.360
<v Speaker 1>each option is worth, I can tell you it's not creative,

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>but you know, three hundred dollars, three hundred ninety dollars

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a MasterCard cash whatever, it's pretty good. Yeah, that's not bad.

0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:36.119
<v Speaker 1>It's versatile, right, it's versatile. There's a limit of you know,

0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>five six hundred bucks I believe in terms of what

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>can be given to each player, and they filled it

0:23:42.080 --> 0:23:44.240
<v Speaker 1>out with the gift card. Fine, it feels normal.

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>This next game here is one that pretty consistently has

0:23:50.840 --> 0:23:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a really good gift situation.

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:23:56.359 --> 0:23:59.439
<v Speaker 2>And that's the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl this year. Of course

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna walk away with PlayStation fives, which you can't

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.960
<v Speaker 2>find anywhere right now. Pretty good, and you get it

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.320
<v Speaker 2>just for playing in the game. You also get a

0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Lululemon Cruiser backpack, which had just looked up. I'm sure

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:15.000
<v Speaker 2>it's price.

0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah it's like one hundred and.

0:24:16.400 --> 0:24:19.040
<v Speaker 2>No eighty nine, but one hundred bucks, yeah, whatever, it's

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot. It looks like, oh, it says, oh snap,

0:24:22.800 --> 0:24:24.879
<v Speaker 2>we're all out, so maybe they gave them all the

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:25.600
<v Speaker 2>way to the bowl game.

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Looks like a nice backpack. I'm looking like a nice backpack.

0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Huge proponent of a good backpack. Love a good backpack.

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I used to do the messenger bag thing and it

0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>made no sense. One shoulder was sore. I was all off.

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Can wear a backpack even out that weight distribution.

0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:42.640
<v Speaker 2>We've got number twenty five Oregon, number ten, Iowa State,

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:47.040
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State. It's a four point favorite. I love Iowa

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:51.080
<v Speaker 2>State here. I love the Clones. And this is not

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:55.600
<v Speaker 2>some way to like seize on you after your comments. Again,

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.240
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want about Oregon will be cool, No, no

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:03.639
<v Speaker 2>thank you. I just organ's here in a technicality. You

0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:07.000
<v Speaker 2>know that here in a technicality. They played well enough

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:09.520
<v Speaker 2>to win against USC. It's still a good win. But

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:13.879
<v Speaker 2>you're pretty early on the bandwagon of saying that Oregon's

0:25:13.920 --> 0:25:18.200
<v Speaker 2>not particularly good and this is a hell of a

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.600
<v Speaker 2>way to close out the season for Iowa State to

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.120
<v Speaker 2>win the Fiesta Bowl. So I just I think there's

0:25:23.119 --> 0:25:25.600
<v Speaker 2>so much on the line for Matt Campbell here. It

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:29.880
<v Speaker 2>definitely means more to Iowa State than maybe almost anybody

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:31.120
<v Speaker 2>else in college football.

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Matt Campbell always gets his troops fired up. So give

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:38.919
<v Speaker 1>me the Clones. They did notre Dame not play Iowa

0:25:38.960 --> 0:25:41.520
<v Speaker 1>State last year in a bowl game they did, just

0:25:41.720 --> 0:25:44.720
<v Speaker 1>circling each other for the solid verb bal both taking

0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:48.919
<v Speaker 1>on Iowa State within almost a calendar year ish. Correct,

0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Pretty good? Yeah, Well, we have a duo of quarterbacks

0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:55.720
<v Speaker 1>in Arizona and Brock Party and Tyler Shuck. If Tyler

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Shuck starts this game, I imagine you saw Anthony Brown

0:25:58.800 --> 0:26:03.320
<v Speaker 1>got some snaps against USC. Oregon. Iowa State no history

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 1>of playing football. I looked it up. I don't believe

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 1>they've ever played, at least not anywhere, you know, in

0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the last like eighty years or something like that. They

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 1>were going to play basketball this year, But in terms

0:26:12.760 --> 0:26:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of like major athletics, as far as I could tell

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>in very brief research, Oregon and Iowa State have not

0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:21.920
<v Speaker 1>cross paths. Yeah, one of the more intriguing games to

0:26:21.960 --> 0:26:24.400
<v Speaker 1>see what you know Breise Hall and that Iowa State

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>offense can do against an improved Oregon defense that really

0:26:27.080 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>did a great job against USC. But on the other

0:26:30.440 --> 0:26:33.120
<v Speaker 1>on the flip side of things, Tyler Shuck throwing into

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 1>a confusing, fast, aggressive, successful Iowa State defense that's pretty scary.

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>So it would be a fantastic win for Iowa State

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.360
<v Speaker 1>because Oregon's still pretty good and beating you know, one

0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:50.160
<v Speaker 1>of the better programs in college football in the national stage.

0:26:50.200 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Would be would be great for the Clones. So this

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:55.120
<v Speaker 1>this one's a fun one. Are you getting a PS five?

0:26:55.160 --> 0:26:57.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, is that something that you've I want

0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:59.600
<v Speaker 1>to get one decided? Yeah, when I can, But I'm not.

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm not having much. Fuck, I'll wait till their more

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:05.840
<v Speaker 1>mass circulation before I you're just gonna get FIFA, Like,

0:27:05.880 --> 0:27:07.879
<v Speaker 1>are you gonna get act other games? Are you just

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:08.600
<v Speaker 1>upping your feet?

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Probably I'll probably geta I haven't gotten better at FIFA

0:27:12.920 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in a good five or six years. I don't know

0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 2>if the PlayStation five will make that any more attainable,

0:27:20.160 --> 0:27:22.120
<v Speaker 2>but it's really the only game I play.

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:26.880
<v Speaker 1>If, if, and when the NCAA series comes back, I'm

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.360
<v Speaker 1>all in. That's when I'll get a PS five. Yeah,

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm a I'm all in. Yeah, absolutely all right.

0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Capital One Orange Bowl Number five A and M a

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:43.080
<v Speaker 2>seven point favorite, squaring off against number thirteen North Carolina

0:27:43.359 --> 0:27:46.960
<v Speaker 2>play this one in January second along with the Fiesta Bowl,

0:27:47.080 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I should add, which is played.

0:27:48.320 --> 0:27:49.920
<v Speaker 1>A little earlier in the day.

0:27:50.280 --> 0:27:54.959
<v Speaker 2>Teams are getting gift suite and a Torno watch. What

0:27:55.040 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 2>is a Torno watch?

0:27:57.000 --> 0:27:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Let's see. I mean you can get pretty pricey with these. Wow.

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:03.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thousand styles from nearly one hundred brands, offering the

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:08.399
<v Speaker 2>latest and largest certified pre owned watch collection. Okay, I

0:28:08.440 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 2>have no idea what this is, but it looks like

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a fancy company and it's always good to get

0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:13.680
<v Speaker 2>a watch.

0:28:13.800 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 1>These are nice watches, pre owned watches. I didn't even

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>know that was a thing. Yeah, not a big watch

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:23.320
<v Speaker 1>guy myself. But do you wear a watch at all? No?

0:28:24.400 --> 0:28:26.439
<v Speaker 2>No, I have an Apple Watch. I wore that for

0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:29.320
<v Speaker 2>a while, but I'm just at home now. No, I

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think too.

0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Torneau is a watch brand. Maybe I

0:28:33.040 --> 0:28:35.080
<v Speaker 1>can be corrected by somebody who knows better. I think

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 1>they're a watch retailer. Okay, so I'm sure it'll be

0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like one hundred, one hundred and fifty two hundred dollars

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 1>watch or something like that. It should be nice enough

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>making a big Bowl game. I really like Carolina and

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the points here. Why is that? First off, this is

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>totally a game where the team was the ball last

0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:58.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to win and seventy Yeah, both of these

0:28:58.600 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>teams have sort of been playing down or a little

0:29:01.120 --> 0:29:02.840
<v Speaker 1>bit up to their opponents in the back half of

0:29:02.840 --> 0:29:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the schedule.

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is a game that's destined to be a shootout.

0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I do think a letdown effect would be totally reasonable

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.240
<v Speaker 2>for A and M. They wanted that playoff spot. They're

0:29:13.280 --> 0:29:16.400
<v Speaker 2>not getting it obviously, playing in the Orange Bowl, which

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:18.560
<v Speaker 2>is a hell of a consolation prize against a good team,

0:29:18.600 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 2>but it certainly does not have the same shine as

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:25.440
<v Speaker 2>playing in Alabama or a Clemson. And on the other side, look,

0:29:25.480 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I stand by the fact that Caroline is a really

0:29:27.920 --> 0:29:32.920
<v Speaker 2>good young team. They're flawed, but they've got a dynamite offense,

0:29:33.200 --> 0:29:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and Mac Brown's going to have them up for this game.

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:38.520
<v Speaker 1>So I think a lot of plays did last year

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:40.160
<v Speaker 1>against what the owls of Temple.

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I go plus the points here, sixty

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:48.320
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half.

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:48.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm inclined to.

0:29:49.000 --> 0:29:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Go over as well in the Orange Bowl. The one

0:29:52.760 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 2>caveat here, especially with the context of this show and

0:29:56.400 --> 0:29:59.920
<v Speaker 2>our argument over the last show and a half, Caroline,

0:30:00.200 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 2>that win over Carolina by Notre Dame definitely played into

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame making it in over A and M.

0:30:05.640 --> 0:30:08.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and Florida State, who did the same thing.

0:30:09.040 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if A and M comes down empties the clip

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>to run it up and make a point, that's also

0:30:13.280 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 2>a possibility. But I'm gonna go Carolina here because I

0:30:16.640 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 2>think A and M's gettable through the air.

0:30:19.600 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. A and M got off for their bowl game

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:24.040
<v Speaker 1>against a pretty good Oklahoma State team last year. Right,

0:30:24.080 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 1>that was the Texas Bowl, I want to say, and

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 1>so a pretty decent bowl history, Kellen Mond, if I

0:30:29.800 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>remember correctly, ran pretty wild against Oklahoma State. So something

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to worry about if you're a North Carolina fans, certainly

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 1>with some of the quarterbacks who have damaged that Tar

0:30:38.680 --> 0:30:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Hill defense on the ground. As your precious then book

0:30:41.480 --> 0:30:44.040
<v Speaker 1>did as well. I'm just looking forward to this game.

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious to see how a very good A and

0:30:45.680 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 1>M defense deals with and I know North Carolina has

0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:51.040
<v Speaker 1>at least a couple opt outs at the moment, but

0:30:51.640 --> 0:30:55.040
<v Speaker 1>an offense that's been sensational, so something I'm circling. And

0:30:55.080 --> 0:30:57.360
<v Speaker 1>it's been it's been a minute since Texas A and

0:30:57.480 --> 0:31:00.480
<v Speaker 1>M has been in a New Year's six caliber game, right,

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it was the Johnny Manzel So it's what

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty twelve season twenty thirteen bowl game. God was it

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the Cotton Bowl that year, which was only a pseudo

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 1>New Year six game? Then maybe I'm misremembering all of

0:31:12.760 --> 0:31:18.080
<v Speaker 1>this against Oklahoma, But yeah, a nice bounce back year

0:31:18.120 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 1>for TEXTA, A, and M after a rough twenty nineteen

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>finishing in a New Year six game. Still good even

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 1>with any sort of lingering animus over the playoff committee.

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Got a couple games here on our sheet that are

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.959
<v Speaker 2>going to be over by the time people hear this podcast,

0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 2>including the.

0:31:35.560 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>We also had a whole game happened last night.

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we mentioned app State earlier. Yeah, have State winning

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:43.360
<v Speaker 2>big over North Texas, but we ran that hell all

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:47.200
<v Speaker 2>over them. The famous side Hope Tato Bowl between Two

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Lane and Nevada that takes place tonight. Again, we're recording

0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>this on Tuesday. Won't drop till Wednesday morning, as will

0:31:53.480 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the Boker a Tone Bowl, which between b YU and UCF,

0:31:57.560 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 2>which is an interesting matchup.

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 1>I enjoyed Boise. I've been a couple times. I've enjoyed

0:32:02.080 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 1>my time there. Yeah, Boca Ratone, I've also been to

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Boca and it's what you expect. It's a nice area

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of Florida, but this game. I'm excited for Ty, I'm

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>excited for tonight. Is that what you said tonight? Yeah?

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's what Dylan Gabriel and you see f taking

0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>on BYU. Dylan Gabriel's father, Garrett Gabriel, beat BYU when

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 1>the height of BYU football late eighties, early nineties. So

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>we got Zach Wilson and Dylan Gabriel just bombing down

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.920
<v Speaker 1>the field. Yeah, we'll see, we'll see celebrating with a

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>gift suite appearance.

0:32:33.960 --> 0:32:36.600
<v Speaker 2>We don't want to invalidate this podcast by talking too

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>much about a bowl game that's in the past now.

0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Right, So try to react as accurately as possible. Mere

0:32:43.880 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>hours before kickoff the RNL.

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Carriers in New Orleans Bowl. Yeah, Louisiana Attack George Southern.

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Southern is favored. This one's on Wednesday afternoon. No info

0:32:58.520 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 2>on the gift suite you real here because this is

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:02.280
<v Speaker 2>a show about honesty.

0:33:02.720 --> 0:33:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, please, I pay. I went through everywhere.

0:33:06.040 --> 0:33:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I picked Louisiana Tech everywhere, every single spot.

0:33:10.480 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>You know why, I don't know.

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I thought it said Louisiana. Hmmm, smart, I thought it

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 2>said Louisiana La Tech. I think when five and four

0:33:23.960 --> 0:33:26.840
<v Speaker 2>really shouldn't be in a bowl game. Really like not

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:27.560
<v Speaker 2>good to a.

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>Pretty big step back this year.

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, one twelve in the sp plus and I think

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 2>they lose this game going away.

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:38.200
<v Speaker 1>So give me Southern.

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's stay down in the golf region. Montgomery Bowl.

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:46.600
<v Speaker 2>This one also being played on Wednesday. Memphis minus eight

0:33:46.680 --> 0:33:47.360
<v Speaker 2>against the.

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Owls of a.

0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:53.840
<v Speaker 2>You get a gift suite, a beanie, a backpack, and

0:33:53.880 --> 0:33:55.880
<v Speaker 2>a big game autograph football Dan.

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's pretty good.

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Fau FAU. We haven't talked a lot about FAU. Lank

0:34:04.600 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Kiffin left after last.

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Season, went to Jim Levitt thoughts.

0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.239
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't have any deep burning thoughts here other

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>than they're fine if they can play.

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Defense and score twenty four points win. I don't think

0:34:18.520 --> 0:34:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be the case against Memphis because.

0:34:20.760 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>The Tigers, despite the fact that they are not as

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.680
<v Speaker 2>dynamic on offense this year as they have been in

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 2>years past.

0:34:27.840 --> 0:34:30.080
<v Speaker 1>They're still pretty good, still pretty good.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 2>They're still an above average team, and I think Fau's

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:39.319
<v Speaker 2>resume pales in comparison. I just don't think they're ready

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:40.280
<v Speaker 2>for a team like a Memphis.

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I think Memphis wins this one pretty handily. Even though

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:45.319
<v Speaker 1>you decided against Chick fil A for lunch today, I've

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 1>decided to I'm gonna give you a nugget here, ty, Okay.

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Number one red zone defense in the country, FAU leading

0:34:54.120 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 1>the country and touchdown percentage allowed in the red zone

0:34:57.000 --> 0:35:02.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty six percent, just ahead of Northwestern eight. It's a

0:35:02.400 --> 0:35:04.239
<v Speaker 1>good defense. Yeah, it's good.

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much of this game I'll be

0:35:05.640 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 2>watching though, New Mexico Bowl, this one on Christmas Eve.

0:35:10.360 --> 0:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>This one also being played in Frisco, Texas, which is

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:17.839
<v Speaker 2>a strange twist. We got Houston minus eleven against Hawaii

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 2>our special prop in the Winter Wonders pick them challenge prop.

0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.279
<v Speaker 2>That challenge, whatever you want to call it, is how

0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.480
<v Speaker 2>many times are they going to reference or show that

0:35:28.600 --> 0:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>graphic that cites how many miles Hawaii has.

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Traveled this set to play football? Those little dashes with

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:38.000
<v Speaker 1>like a plane graphic.

0:35:39.280 --> 0:35:44.480
<v Speaker 2>They have had that same animation in the stockpile for

0:35:44.560 --> 0:35:46.600
<v Speaker 2>a good decade and a half. They all with the

0:35:46.640 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 2>push pins on the map and the dots and the plane.

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's great. It's always a winner. Got that prop in

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:57.840
<v Speaker 1>there Christmas Eve? How are you spending Christmas Eve? Not sure,

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 1>not sure yet. It's a weird year. Do you open

0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:04.360
<v Speaker 1>gifts Christmas Eve or Christmas Morning? What's your typically?

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Typically in my family we would do it Christmas Eve.

0:36:07.360 --> 0:36:09.480
<v Speaker 2>We do everything on Christmas Eve. But it's not a

0:36:09.520 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 2>normal year.

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:15.840
<v Speaker 1>So special dinner, a prime rib roast, a beyond prime

0:36:15.920 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>rib rosyond. We haven't decided yet, Kate and I have

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 1>not decided yet what we're what we're gonna do a

0:36:21.200 --> 0:36:24.880
<v Speaker 1>couple days out. I know, I know. Do you normally

0:36:24.920 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>make her a nice meal on Christmas Eve? Or she'd

0:36:27.040 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 1>make you a nice meal some some combination. Normally we

0:36:29.880 --> 0:36:32.000
<v Speaker 1>do the seven fishes up at mommy Ah's. Oh, that's right,

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 1>that's right. You had mentioned that. Okay, but this year

0:36:35.000 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure as hell not cooking seven fishes for two people.

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm and uh. I'm open to suggestions. That's til

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready to tie you ready, please, you're gonna make

0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the seven fish tacos. You're gonna make seven fish tacos.

0:36:52.239 --> 0:36:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you have three, she has four, maybe you each

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>have two, and you save some of the seven fish tacos.

0:36:57.360 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 1>It gets the job done, and it's not a ton

0:36:58.800 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of food, not too heavy, and the spirit is still

0:37:01.000 --> 0:37:03.560
<v Speaker 1>there and it's Tacos, which is very own brand for you.

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:07.840
<v Speaker 1>If you can't trust somebody with the last name Rubinstein

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 1>for Christmas advice, that's right, what you're doing, right? Yeah?

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:12.399
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:37:12.800 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh No, they get a gift suite, nothing else listed

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 2>for the New Mexico Bowl. Houston an eleven point favorite.

0:37:19.160 --> 0:37:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I think Houston's demonstrably better. Do you have any burning

0:37:21.520 --> 0:37:22.319
<v Speaker 2>thoughts in this game?

0:37:23.320 --> 0:37:25.880
<v Speaker 1>No, I've liked watching Chevon Cordero all year long. I

0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:30.280
<v Speaker 1>hope he plays the Chamella Bowl.

0:37:31.480 --> 0:37:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo against Marshall to get a gift suite, a beanie,

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.840
<v Speaker 2>a backpack, and a big game autograph football.

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Got any thoughts in this one? Uh? Yeah? The Buffalo

0:37:43.960 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 1>offense has been quite fun. It's an offense versus defense game.

0:37:47.200 --> 0:37:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Certainly Marshall didn't finish the season in any sort of

0:37:50.560 --> 0:37:53.480
<v Speaker 1>meaningful way with their two losses on a bigger stage.

0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>But oh, I was burping right there, Ty. That's what

0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you do when you get older, You just burp right

0:37:57.239 --> 0:38:01.560
<v Speaker 1>through it. No, this is an attractive game to me,

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:04.359
<v Speaker 1>sort of a mid day what one thirty Central time,

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.319
<v Speaker 1>two thirty Eastern. Yeah, I'm probably gonna watch a good

0:38:07.360 --> 0:38:09.880
<v Speaker 1>chunk of this game. Gift sweed beanie backpack, big game

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>autograph football.

0:38:10.920 --> 0:38:15.239
<v Speaker 2>On Christmas, on Christmas, Christmas. Yeah, I'm going Marshall. I'm

0:38:15.280 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 2>going Marshall. Their defense is really good. I think Buffalo's

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.880
<v Speaker 2>season was a bit of a mirage. I do really

0:38:22.320 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I love Landslide pulled, but this is a really good example.

0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>If I ain't played, nobody to give me Marshall. Okay,

0:38:30.640 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Christmas four and a half point dog in this game. Okay,

0:38:35.560 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the Union Home mortgage gasp, berea bull Now this is gasp.

0:38:41.680 --> 0:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is confusing to me. For the long Marshall

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:49.120
<v Speaker 1>lost this game last year they did UCF. Yeah, for the.

0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Longest time, I thought Gaspot Priya was the sponsor of

0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the Bowl and not that it was the name of

0:38:58.480 --> 0:39:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the boll in like Chamella Bowl fashion.

0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:05.239
<v Speaker 1>Right, It's likely going to be canceled, by the way,

0:39:05.280 --> 0:39:08.439
<v Speaker 1>because South Carolina can't play. Yeah, to be clear, to

0:39:08.480 --> 0:39:11.160
<v Speaker 1>be clear, let's not waste too many words on Let's

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>not spill too many too much ink.

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.880
<v Speaker 2>As they say, it's supposed to be between uab u

0:39:16.920 --> 0:39:21.080
<v Speaker 2>ab and South Carolina. South Carolina went too and eight

0:39:21.080 --> 0:39:22.239
<v Speaker 2>and fired their coach this year.

0:39:22.280 --> 0:39:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Dan m hm.

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:27.360
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not sure how I feel about them playing

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:30.360
<v Speaker 2>in a bowl. To begin with, I would be inclined

0:39:30.360 --> 0:39:33.600
<v Speaker 2>to go uab by whatever lay the points. I might

0:39:33.640 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 2>win it by three touchdowns if they play it. But again,

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:38.640
<v Speaker 2>if is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, it

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:41.440
<v Speaker 2>does not look like the Gasparea Bowl is going to happen.

0:39:42.080 --> 0:39:43.319
<v Speaker 1>No, that's too bad.

0:39:44.440 --> 0:39:52.600
<v Speaker 2>The fb C Mortgage Cure Bowl Coastal Carolina minus seven

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 2>against Liberty. Play this one on Boxing Day day after Christmas.

0:39:57.960 --> 0:40:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Earlier in the day, get a gift suite, a dry

0:40:01.239 --> 0:40:06.400
<v Speaker 2>fit shirt, a canteen, and a Sasquatch party bag.

0:40:06.560 --> 0:40:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Can you look that up? Can you tell me what

0:40:08.080 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>that is? Sasquatch party bag? What is a Sasquatch party bag?

0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:15.560
<v Speaker 1>A skascotchy ba ba bah. It's a must have item

0:40:15.640 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 1>that does it all ideal for summer outdoor sports, hiking, camping, rafting,

0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:20.440
<v Speaker 1>water sports.

0:40:21.400 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:40:22.280 --> 0:40:26.399
<v Speaker 1>I think it keeps stuff dry, okay, as far as

0:40:26.400 --> 0:40:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I can tell, like a canvas bag of some kind.

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, looks pretty good. This is a good matchup.

0:40:35.280 --> 0:40:39.319
<v Speaker 2>This is a good matchup. It's a coastal Swan song.

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:44.040
<v Speaker 2>I saw their coach was talking at halftime or during

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:47.800
<v Speaker 2>the third quarter of the app State game of the

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 2>bowl game because they played that one down at Coastal's

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>home stadium. Mm hm, and he's excited about the matchup.

0:40:55.600 --> 0:40:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean the Liberty canceled this matchup earlier on

0:40:58.120 --> 0:41:00.440
<v Speaker 1>in the season, so I can understand the excit. It's

0:41:00.480 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 1>good that they get to play it.

0:41:01.560 --> 0:41:03.120
<v Speaker 2>Far be it from me at this point to bet

0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:07.759
<v Speaker 2>against the Shans seven points seven points here.

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 1>They got a lot to play for. Yeah, absolutely, And

0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 1>it's not like they're ending with a you know, a

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:16.560
<v Speaker 1>mid level ACC team or Big twelve team like there is.

0:41:17.080 --> 0:41:19.799
<v Speaker 1>There's a certain amount of pride with Liberty being one

0:41:19.800 --> 0:41:22.400
<v Speaker 1>of the absolute better you know. I mean they're independent

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>but G five level schools. So yeah, I think there's

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:26.879
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be up for this game to finish out

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 1>that season undefeated and claim that national championship.

0:41:29.560 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Two other games quickly on some of the twenty sixth

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.799
<v Speaker 2>the Serve Pro First Responder Bowl. You may recall this

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:39.279
<v Speaker 2>one from was it a year or two ago and

0:41:39.320 --> 0:41:42.160
<v Speaker 2>it got canceled midway through or very early on.

0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Like the first Oh right, Boise Boston College Serve Pro

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:49.920
<v Speaker 1>First Responder Bowl between Louisiana and UTSA.

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.800
<v Speaker 2>And at the same time it's the Lending Tree Bowl

0:41:53.840 --> 0:41:59.239
<v Speaker 2>between Western Kentucky and Georgia State. The gift package here

0:42:00.320 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 2>for both of these games is something that I want

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to discuss.

0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:04.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready.

0:42:04.520 --> 0:42:07.440
<v Speaker 2>So on the Serve Pro side, you get the gift suite,

0:42:07.520 --> 0:42:11.040
<v Speaker 2>you get the football, you get the apparel item. You

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 2>also get the Anchor phone charger.

0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Is that how you pronounce it? It's not anchor. I think

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it may be anchor, but anchor makes me sound more

0:42:18.440 --> 0:42:22.960
<v Speaker 1>sum I love anchor, Like that was a penpal you

0:42:23.040 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 1>had in Hamburg right when you were in fifth grade.

0:42:26.320 --> 0:42:27.280
<v Speaker 1>New letter from Anchor.

0:42:27.760 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Continue, how do you feel if you were a top

0:42:31.200 --> 0:42:34.080
<v Speaker 2>flight recruit going a bowl game you get the phone charger.

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a good gift. I mean it's a

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:40.800
<v Speaker 1>good gift for current dan it is a good gift.

0:42:40.800 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean everybody should have one of these. I think

0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it's crucial. But you know, it doesn't really get you going,

0:42:45.719 --> 0:42:46.919
<v Speaker 1>like a PS five does.

0:42:47.520 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like, if you're going to a bowl game,

0:42:51.520 --> 0:42:53.920
<v Speaker 2>if you get any use out of the free gifts

0:42:53.920 --> 0:42:55.640
<v Speaker 2>that you get, that's a bonus.

0:42:55.880 --> 0:42:57.480
<v Speaker 1>And the phone charger. You're going to use.

0:42:58.680 --> 0:43:01.480
<v Speaker 2>You're gonna use a phone charger, So I don't think

0:43:01.480 --> 0:43:04.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm disappointed with that does not have the heights of

0:43:04.760 --> 0:43:06.719
<v Speaker 2>the Lending Tree Bowl, which I'm going to talk about here,

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But it's it's utility.

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:13.680
<v Speaker 1>It's got utility. Yeah, absolutely, utility. Good gift, good gift

0:43:13.680 --> 0:43:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to give receive if you're looking for a stocking stuffer.

0:43:16.200 --> 0:43:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Not necessarily this brand, but I've got a couple of

0:43:18.520 --> 0:43:22.480
<v Speaker 1>this brand. They seem good. On the flip side of this, Dan,

0:43:22.800 --> 0:43:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Lending Tree Bowl. I want to talk about.

<v Speaker 1>I don't know. Hudson Cole Duffel bag.

0:43:45.040 --> 0:43:47.879

<v Speaker 2>familiar with his work. I don't know if I've seen

0:43:50.560 --> 0:43:55.239
<v Speaker 2>a Nixon Watch wireless earbuds as well. They don't list

0:43:55.280 --> 0:43:58.840
<v Speaker 2>the brand name here, but we know that wireless earbuds.

0:43:58.440 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Have changed our lives.

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Dan, absolutely the Duffel Bag feels like this could put

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:05.120
<v Speaker 2>this one over the top here and maybe be a

0:44:05.200 --> 0:44:07.880
<v Speaker 2>very underrated bullswag package.

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.520

<v Speaker 2>Two games on the twenty ninth, not a sponsor, not

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:41.720
<v Speaker 2>a spoer, Hudson as I walk you through an ideal,

0:44:41.800 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 2>lovely weekend with a Duffel bag. Two games in the

0:44:44.640 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty ninth, the Valero Almo Bowl between Texas and Colorado

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and the Cheese It Bowl in all its pageantry, Miami

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:59.320
<v Speaker 2>against Oklahoma State. Texas favored by ten and a half.

0:45:01.360 --> 0:45:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I did not see who's favored in the Miami Oklahoma

0:45:03.680 --> 0:45:04.960
<v Speaker 2>State game. I'll pull that one up.

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Some Big Twelve history here, Tye, between Texas and Colorado.

0:45:09.200 --> 0:45:13.200
<v Speaker 1>You've got Colorado beating Texas the edge of mount in

0:45:13.239 --> 0:45:15.640
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and one in the Big twelve Championship game

0:45:15.719 --> 0:45:18.920
<v Speaker 1>after Colorado laid waste to Nebraska. Who's still somehow made

0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 1>the national championship game the ultimate twist. I'm want to

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:25.359
<v Speaker 1>say it's a Chris Brown Chris Simms matchup from two

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:27.680
<v Speaker 1>thousand and one, and then in two thousand and five,

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the Vince youngyear, Texas ended up facing Colorado in the

0:45:31.160 --> 0:45:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Big Twelve Championship game seventy to three, seventy to three,

0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and as our resident being blown out in a conference

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.239
<v Speaker 1>championship game, tie, what do you think Colorado players were

0:45:42.239 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 1>going through? They're losing seventy to three, five hundred and

0:45:48.160 --> 0:45:51.759
<v Speaker 1>fifteen dollars Amazon gift card. That's a lot. You could

0:45:51.760 --> 0:45:53.600
<v Speaker 1>do a lot with Pacific. Yeah, do a lot of

0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:57.719
<v Speaker 1>damage with that mini helmet team Panoramic photo. All right,

0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that's very solid. Some puffy tacos here here's definitely not

0:46:03.000 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>a sponsor. I hope this place is open. I'm checking

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:06.839
<v Speaker 1>right now. If you end up going to the Alamobile,

0:46:07.440 --> 0:46:14.759
<v Speaker 1>which is normally let's see two Yeah, two m Smokehouse.

0:46:15.480 --> 0:46:18.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a From everything I've heard from people who have

0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:21.600
<v Speaker 1>been to everything I've watched, it looks like an amazing

0:46:21.640 --> 0:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>barbecue place with a Mexican influence in San Antonio. That's

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.839
<v Speaker 1>where I would go if you're heading to San Antono.

0:46:29.200 --> 0:46:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Is is Texas motivated for this game?

0:46:33.320 --> 0:46:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh? Texas care Their head coach needed a vote of confidence.

0:46:39.080 --> 0:46:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Colorado might be okay, might be a little bit inflated

0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:45.440
<v Speaker 1>record wise and bowl wise. Texas got up for this

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:50.160
<v Speaker 1>game last year against Utah their bowl game. Yeah, I'm

0:46:50.160 --> 0:46:52.879
<v Speaker 1>gonna say so. Yeah, I seem to finish the year

0:46:52.920 --> 0:46:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on a strong note.

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm with you. Colorado's a really good story,

0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:00.720
<v Speaker 2>really good story. Sure, sort of cant out of nowhere.

0:47:01.560 --> 0:47:07.000
<v Speaker 2>Had coaching issues right with Mel Tucker leaving very early

0:47:07.080 --> 0:47:10.000
<v Speaker 2>on or late, I guess in the process at the

0:47:10.000 --> 0:47:12.600
<v Speaker 2>start of twenty twenty. You bring in Carl Durrell. No

0:47:12.640 --> 0:47:15.920
<v Speaker 2>one knew what to expect, and there was a shot

0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:18.120
<v Speaker 2>there for a little bit that they'd go undefeated in

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:20.440
<v Speaker 2>conference and they're limited conference slate.

0:47:21.000 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So they're a good story.

0:47:22.560 --> 0:47:25.239
<v Speaker 2>Texas I think is a top twenty team and They're

0:47:25.320 --> 0:47:29.960
<v Speaker 2>not without flaws, and we may argue both on and

0:47:30.000 --> 0:47:32.560
<v Speaker 2>offline about whether or not we think sam Ellnger is good.

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:36.480
<v Speaker 2>But Texas is a top twenty team. I think they're

0:47:36.520 --> 0:47:37.360
<v Speaker 2>motivated here.

0:47:38.200 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 1>Ten and a half. I will lay the ten and

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a half. I feel good about Texas in this game. Same.

0:47:43.960 --> 0:47:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they've had opt outs, but yeah, I feel

0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 1>good about Texas. Why not on the cheese at bull side?

0:47:50.960 --> 0:47:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma States favored by two over Miami favored by two.

0:47:56.239 --> 0:47:59.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Miami just lost their star defensive ends, finished the

0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>season with a bit of a whimper. Oh hell yeah.

0:48:03.920 --> 0:48:05.759
<v Speaker 1>I think it is going to be an ugie game.

0:48:05.920 --> 0:48:07.800
<v Speaker 1>This is an ugly game. This is two teams that

0:48:07.880 --> 0:48:10.960
<v Speaker 1>want the season to be over with. Miami as a

0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:16.960
<v Speaker 1>program has a recent history of just evaporating right before

0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:19.560
<v Speaker 1>a ball. Back it up, pack it in right. Yeah,

0:48:19.680 --> 0:48:22.279
<v Speaker 1>they do have that history that worries me a little bit.

0:48:22.280 --> 0:48:25.080
<v Speaker 1>But you know, different year, different squad, but still worrisome.

0:48:25.160 --> 0:48:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to Oklahoma State. Gimme give me Oaki State.

0:48:28.920 --> 0:48:32.359
<v Speaker 1>That was Amazon gift card watch backpack. Pretty solid. Jees

0:48:32.440 --> 0:48:33.000
<v Speaker 1>A Bowl.

0:48:33.440 --> 0:48:38.800
<v Speaker 2>December thirtieth, Duke's Mayo Bowl between Wisconsin and Wake Forest,

0:48:40.239 --> 0:48:43.120
<v Speaker 2>and then we've got the trans perfect Music City Bowl

0:48:43.160 --> 0:48:45.920
<v Speaker 2>between Iowa and the Zoo. At least as of now,

0:48:45.920 --> 0:48:48.800
<v Speaker 2>we don't know what's going to happen with maybe with Iowa,

0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:51.520
<v Speaker 2>but let's start with the Mayo Bowl.

0:48:51.680 --> 0:48:55.359
<v Speaker 1>Duke's Mayo Bowl. Yeah, Wisconsin a six and a half

0:48:55.440 --> 0:49:00.880
<v Speaker 1>point favorite. That can't be all right, six and a half.

0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess you're giving me six and a half points

0:49:05.719 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 2>and Wake Forest. I think Wake will be fired up

0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:11.279
<v Speaker 2>for that game. I don't know where Wisconsin's at. They've

0:49:11.360 --> 0:49:14.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of been a mess the last few weeks. I'm

0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:15.920
<v Speaker 2>going Wake plus whatever.

0:49:15.920 --> 0:49:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. I don't have strong thoughts. I'm not

0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:19.719
<v Speaker 1>going to pretend to.

0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Music City Bowl. We can talk about this one. I

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:29.040
<v Speaker 2>guess for now, Iowa's a fourteen point favorite. And my

0:49:29.120 --> 0:49:32.480
<v Speaker 2>only comment here would be that Iowa has been among

0:49:32.560 --> 0:49:36.520
<v Speaker 2>the most predictable and reliable teams down the stretch. So

0:49:37.320 --> 0:49:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I like Miszoo, I like the story. I think they've

0:49:41.320 --> 0:49:45.400
<v Speaker 2>certainly played well in year one under Eli Drinkwitz. But

0:49:45.600 --> 0:49:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Iowa's been steady Eddie. So I go Iowa here?

0:49:50.400 --> 0:49:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just hope it happens.

0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, all right, how do we say this company Mercary mrcary,

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I believe. So it says make a little money on

0:50:02.800 --> 0:50:06.200
<v Speaker 2>their website, sell from home, make a little money.

0:50:07.440 --> 0:50:11.160
<v Speaker 1>So I don't. Is this like a Rakhuton? What is this? What?

0:50:11.280 --> 0:50:13.799
<v Speaker 1>I think so poshmark type of thing where you can

0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:18.320
<v Speaker 1>sell stuff. I think I've seen commercials for this company. Yeah,

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:22.279
<v Speaker 1>it's I think it's something like that. Yeah, that's what

0:50:22.320 --> 0:50:23.000
<v Speaker 1>it appears to be.

0:50:24.200 --> 0:50:31.520
<v Speaker 2>The Mercari Texas Bowl between Arkansas and TCU. Okay, they

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:32.359
<v Speaker 2>played a few years ago.

0:50:32.400 --> 0:50:34.120
<v Speaker 1>They had a home and home. They did run. They

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:36.919
<v Speaker 1>did the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

0:50:36.960 --> 0:50:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Get in the zone with now Army and West Virginia

0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:45.640
<v Speaker 2>Army getting into a bowl game, and the Arizona Bowl,

0:50:45.640 --> 0:50:48.680
<v Speaker 2>which again in a little bit of question given what's

0:50:48.719 --> 0:50:51.719
<v Speaker 2>going on with San Jose State, but they're set to

0:50:51.760 --> 0:50:52.760
<v Speaker 2>square off against Ball.

0:50:52.600 --> 0:50:55.960
<v Speaker 1>State, which would be a really fun matchup two teams.

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:58.640
<v Speaker 2>That won their conferences. Yeah, if it happens.

0:50:59.239 --> 0:51:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Liberty Bowl. I'm glad Army got into a bowl game,

0:51:03.040 --> 0:51:05.239
<v Speaker 1>even though it was at the expense of not the

0:51:05.280 --> 0:51:07.480
<v Speaker 1>expense of but it was you know, it happened because

0:51:07.520 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 1>of Tennessee's issues. But nine and two Army was in

0:51:10.960 --> 0:51:13.239
<v Speaker 1>bowl limbo and so good that they got to that

0:51:13.320 --> 0:51:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they get to play a team like West Virginia. Bass

0:51:16.080 --> 0:51:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Pro shops gift card. Okay, they sell a lot of things.

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Anybody can find something at basketball shops. Phillip soundbar, bluetooth

0:51:23.280 --> 0:51:27.720
<v Speaker 1>speaker for me, I can find youth for that, Nike shoes,

0:51:27.800 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 1>sports sandals, sunglasses, and backpack and a commembative football. Maybe

0:51:32.080 --> 0:51:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it's some Memphis barbecue in the process. That's good. Getting

0:51:35.320 --> 0:51:38.400
<v Speaker 1>the zone, baby, yeah, in the zone. And then the

0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Arizona Bowl is a worst of all, a good game,

0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:46.880
<v Speaker 1>but also bb tech bluetooth waterproof speaker and wireless earbuds. Okay,

0:51:47.040 --> 0:51:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Little Lemon new Crew backpack. It feels like a premium

0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:53.239
<v Speaker 1>backpack experience. That's good. And a Hudson cole not Duffel bag,

0:51:53.320 --> 0:51:57.200
<v Speaker 1>but stainless steel cooozy set all right. I don't know

0:51:57.239 --> 0:51:59.839
<v Speaker 1>if I've ever seen a stainless steel coozy. I used

0:51:59.880 --> 0:52:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to like the coozies made a fix that like a

0:52:03.360 --> 0:52:06.920
<v Speaker 1>vacuum sealed coozie type of stainless Oh, that could be

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:11.160
<v Speaker 1>stainless steal couzy. I think you put in I actually

0:52:11.160 --> 0:52:12.880
<v Speaker 1>have seen these. I think you put in your bottle

0:52:12.920 --> 0:52:14.840
<v Speaker 1>of beer into Yeah, I have one that minute that

0:52:14.920 --> 0:52:17.600
<v Speaker 1>keeps it cold. Okay, yeah, okay, I take it back.

0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I have seen these.

0:52:19.800 --> 0:52:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Uh okay, no burning thoughts for me, but I'll go Arkansas,

0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:27.120
<v Speaker 2>West Virginia and San Jose State.

0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:30.520
<v Speaker 1>Mm. Same same.

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:34.479
<v Speaker 2>Also on New Year's Eve, Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Tulsa minus two and a half against Mississippi State. They

0:52:38.080 --> 0:52:43.719
<v Speaker 2>get a gift suite in an Encore phone charger, a football,

0:52:43.719 --> 0:52:48.040
<v Speaker 2>and an apparel item weirdly looking like a defensive struggle

0:52:48.040 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 2>here looking like a defensive struggle. Yeah, but I'll go

0:52:54.120 --> 0:52:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Mississippi State.

0:52:55.200 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Why not? I think I just saw Mike Leech called

0:52:57.920 --> 0:53:01.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty joyless joyless heading into the bowl season. But

0:53:02.080 --> 0:53:04.879
<v Speaker 1>that might be the most accurate thing he's ever seen.

0:53:06.440 --> 0:53:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, defensive struggle was at least something, And it

0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:14.080
<v Speaker 1>feels like one of those games that gets very strange

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:17.440
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason. That brings us to New Year's Day.

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:20.440
<v Speaker 2>We've got the Outback Bowl between Indiana and Ole, miss

0:53:21.560 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 2>No details available on the gift suite. The VRBO Citrus

0:53:26.400 --> 0:53:30.279
<v Speaker 2>Bowl between Northwestern and Auburn. They get a gift suite

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:32.480
<v Speaker 2>of four hundred dollars Amazon gift card to watch in

0:53:32.520 --> 0:53:35.399
<v Speaker 2>a backpack. And then we got the two playoff games,

0:53:35.400 --> 0:53:37.520
<v Speaker 2>which maybe we can close out the show talking about.

0:53:38.719 --> 0:53:41.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll also mention that on January second, we've got the

0:53:42.080 --> 0:53:46.360
<v Speaker 2>tax Slayer Gator Bowl between NC State and Kentucky. Kentucky

0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:49.240
<v Speaker 2>favored by two and a half, they get a gift

0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 2>suite JBL noise canceling headphones and a Bluetooth speaker inside

0:53:53.680 --> 0:53:57.719
<v Speaker 2>of a customized box. Hell yeah, Mawi Jim getting in

0:53:57.800 --> 0:54:00.640
<v Speaker 2>on the action with some sun glasses.

0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:01.879
<v Speaker 1>The Fossil Watch.

0:54:01.920 --> 0:54:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Fossil not as active this bull circuit correct, but getting

0:54:06.920 --> 0:54:08.520
<v Speaker 2>in in a big way here in the tax Layer

0:54:08.560 --> 0:54:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Gator Bull.

0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to get this gift situation here if I'm

0:54:13.120 --> 0:54:17.160
<v Speaker 1>a if I'm a wolf pack member or wildcat and

0:54:17.239 --> 0:54:19.440
<v Speaker 1>a backpack. So any thoughts on any of those games?

0:54:19.600 --> 0:54:23.560
<v Speaker 1>It's three games, Uh, Kentucky's Kentucky struggled. I think I

0:54:23.640 --> 0:54:26.000
<v Speaker 1>like nc stayed a little bit here, finishing their season

0:54:26.120 --> 0:54:32.120
<v Speaker 1>with a bang Indiana riding. Even though the firepower on

0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:34.440
<v Speaker 1>offense got a lot of the attention, that defense was

0:54:34.560 --> 0:54:39.200
<v Speaker 1>very much improved this year with Caane God. They loose

0:54:39.280 --> 0:54:42.760
<v Speaker 1>their their defensive coordinator to South Alabama the who Jaguars

0:54:42.760 --> 0:54:47.200
<v Speaker 1>head coach Kane Womack, So I think he's sticking with

0:54:47.280 --> 0:54:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Indiana for now. Indiana, certainly, I saw some administration members

0:54:52.040 --> 0:54:53.920
<v Speaker 1>putting out a statement about how disappointed they are that

0:54:53.920 --> 0:54:55.759
<v Speaker 1>they didn't make a New Year six game, but all

0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the same should be entertaining Indiana Ole miss Tom Allen

0:54:58.719 --> 0:55:02.319
<v Speaker 1>Lane Kiffin great cool. I think that those are all

0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:08.320
<v Speaker 1>my thoughts on the Outback Bowl and then Northwestern Auburn January. First,

0:55:08.480 --> 0:55:11.240
<v Speaker 1>I can't imagine Auburn wants any part of this football game,

0:55:14.320 --> 0:55:17.520
<v Speaker 1>so I assume who's the interim? Is it Kevin Steele?

0:55:17.520 --> 0:55:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I believe it is. That didn't go well last time

0:55:20.719 --> 0:55:24.080
<v Speaker 1>he coached a team I know, But could he Bill

0:55:24.120 --> 0:55:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Stewart this thing? Does he run a Bill Stewart this thing?

0:55:29.400 --> 0:55:32.600
<v Speaker 1>So these two teams met in the twenty I believe

0:55:32.600 --> 0:55:39.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty ten Outback Bowl. We're talking Cody Burns, Mikey Kofka,

0:55:40.160 --> 0:55:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and a tight Auburn win. Same kicker who kicked the

0:55:43.480 --> 0:55:45.960
<v Speaker 1>game winner against Oregon the following year kick game winner

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:48.839
<v Speaker 1>in this game. So there is history. And I also

0:55:48.880 --> 0:55:54.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like either Northwestern or Iowa plays Auburn or something

0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:59.839
<v Speaker 1>every random as every single year again this season. Yeah

0:56:00.120 --> 0:56:03.520
<v Speaker 1>so cool? Uh yeah, it seems like a good enough

0:56:03.600 --> 0:56:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, four hundred bucks Amazon. You can find some

0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:09.839
<v Speaker 1>things there watching backpack, right, I go Northwestern, I go

0:56:10.200 --> 0:56:17.279
<v Speaker 1>NC State, and I'm going Old Miss. I'm going I'm

0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:20.800
<v Speaker 1>on Indiana, l e O Northwestern and the i C

0:56:20.880 --> 0:56:21.600
<v Speaker 1>State once again.

0:56:22.440 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Then that brings us to our two playoff games before

0:56:25.000 --> 0:56:29.360
<v Speaker 2>we close it out. Got the Rose Bowl game played

0:56:29.400 --> 0:56:37.120
<v Speaker 2>in Arlington. This features a gift suite, fossil watch, Augio backpack,

0:56:37.760 --> 0:56:42.720
<v Speaker 2>new era nine to fifty snap back adjustable hat. Of course,

0:56:42.760 --> 0:56:46.840
<v Speaker 2>it's Notre Dame and Alabama. And then we get the

0:56:46.880 --> 0:56:51.760
<v Speaker 2>All Stage Sugar Bowl later on in the evening, Ohio

0:56:51.800 --> 0:56:56.239
<v Speaker 2>State Clemson in the Superdome. It is gift suite, a

0:56:56.280 --> 0:57:02.760
<v Speaker 2>new era hat, a Diesel watch, and a mini helmet.

0:57:03.440 --> 0:57:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Have you given any early thoughts to either of these games?

0:57:05.920 --> 0:57:08.319
<v Speaker 2>I know you hate Notre Dame most people. To me,

0:57:09.120 --> 0:57:10.359
<v Speaker 2>most people hate Notre Dame.

0:57:10.400 --> 0:57:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It's fine. What about Ohio State Clemson? I think I

0:57:14.560 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 1>like Clemson a lot. Yeah, I think I do. And

0:57:17.840 --> 0:57:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm hopeful that Ohio State roster wise isn't a lot

0:57:21.280 --> 0:57:24.440
<v Speaker 1>better place than they were against Michigan State and Northwestern.

0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:26.480
<v Speaker 1>And I know they changed up the rules a little bit.

0:57:26.480 --> 0:57:29.120
<v Speaker 1>They changed twenty one to seventeen days. So it sounds

0:57:29.160 --> 0:57:31.360
<v Speaker 1>like Ohio State's going to have a number of guys back.

0:57:31.440 --> 0:57:34.040
<v Speaker 1>So that's good. We all want full strength for all

0:57:34.040 --> 0:57:36.840
<v Speaker 1>of these games if possible, especially these bigger games. But

0:57:36.880 --> 0:57:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I like Clemson, you know, comfortably more than

0:57:40.240 --> 0:57:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State right now. Ohio State's taking a pretty big

0:57:42.680 --> 0:57:45.880
<v Speaker 1>step back on defense this year. Clemson's kind of built

0:57:45.960 --> 0:57:49.560
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage. They seem to be peaking the right time.

0:57:50.280 --> 0:57:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think I just like the Tigers.

0:57:52.280 --> 0:57:57.160
<v Speaker 2>Here. I am waiting personally for the line to come

0:57:57.200 --> 0:58:00.800
<v Speaker 2>down from seven and a half to seven and then

0:58:00.800 --> 0:58:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to put everything in my betting account on Clemson.

0:58:04.360 --> 0:58:04.840
<v Speaker 1>The hook.

0:58:05.800 --> 0:58:08.280
<v Speaker 2>The hook scares me a little bit here, yeah, I

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:12.400
<v Speaker 2>know a little bit. But beyond that, I really like Clemson.

0:58:13.360 --> 0:58:16.479
<v Speaker 2>And maybe there's maybe there's some recency bias here with

0:58:17.000 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 2>what Clemson did to Notre Dame and frankly, what Ohio

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.120
<v Speaker 2>State didn't do against Northwestern.

0:58:23.800 --> 0:58:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm, I gain they were down forty seven players

0:58:26.800 --> 0:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>or whatever it was. I understand that.

0:58:28.880 --> 0:58:31.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So I want to try to not steer too

0:58:31.560 --> 0:58:34.720
<v Speaker 2>too much into how I'm feeling there.

0:58:34.720 --> 0:58:37.000
<v Speaker 1>But I just I think Clemson's a much better team

0:58:37.280 --> 0:58:39.480
<v Speaker 1>much the word much, we say much better. Like I

0:58:39.520 --> 0:58:43.520
<v Speaker 1>don't know, it's justin field. Still, where's the scarlet and gray? Right?

0:58:44.240 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 1>He does wear the scarlet and gray? The running backs

0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:49.720
<v Speaker 1>went for three hundred against a good defense. It's a

0:58:49.840 --> 0:58:52.320
<v Speaker 1>very good Ohio State team. Don't get me wrong. I

0:58:52.360 --> 0:58:56.440
<v Speaker 1>just think Clemson's better. I think Clemson's much better. So

0:58:56.480 --> 0:59:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm inclined to go Clemson. Here, Rose Bowl, hose Ball,

0:59:00.400 --> 0:59:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Texas Gift Suite, Fossil watch as your backpack yep, new

0:59:05.880 --> 0:59:09.240
<v Speaker 1>era nine to fifty snapback adjustable hat seems good. Bama

0:59:09.280 --> 0:59:13.560
<v Speaker 1>favored by nineteen and a half. So it's coming down.

0:59:14.920 --> 0:59:16.480
<v Speaker 1>You told me twenty and a half on Sunday.

0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:19.360
<v Speaker 2>It opened around seventeen, when up to twenty and a

0:59:19.400 --> 0:59:21.200
<v Speaker 2>half came down to nineteen and a half.

0:59:21.800 --> 0:59:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Money's pouring in, Irish money pouring in. Where would you

0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:27.800
<v Speaker 1>bet in this game? And don't give me the like

0:59:27.880 --> 0:59:32.280
<v Speaker 1>I always bet against Notre Dame, I would bet Alabama. Okay,

0:59:32.480 --> 0:59:34.200
<v Speaker 1>if I were betting because.

0:59:35.760 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have much confidence that Notre Dame is going

0:59:39.280 --> 0:59:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to be able to go toe to toe and score

0:59:40.920 --> 0:59:44.000
<v Speaker 2>with Alabama, because that's the thing. So often when we've

0:59:44.040 --> 0:59:47.440
<v Speaker 2>talked about Bama, it's been in the context of who's

0:59:47.480 --> 0:59:48.680
<v Speaker 2>going to score on that defense.

0:59:49.560 --> 0:59:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you can score on the defense. This year.

0:59:51.440 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Florida just showed that you can score on this defense.

0:59:54.320 --> 0:59:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Ole Miss showed you could score on this defense. It's

0:59:56.640 --> 1:00:01.960
<v Speaker 2>not impenetrable. I'm we're inclined to go minus the number

1:00:02.040 --> 1:00:05.040
<v Speaker 2>because of the Bama offense, then I would be in

1:00:05.080 --> 1:00:08.560
<v Speaker 2>previous years because of the defense. I just I don't

1:00:08.560 --> 1:00:11.760
<v Speaker 2>see Notre Dame scoring with the Crimson Tide. That's why

1:00:11.760 --> 1:00:12.680
<v Speaker 2>I delay the number here.

1:00:14.040 --> 1:00:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame after the Clemson game is seventy ninth nationally

1:00:19.800 --> 1:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>in terms of explosive pass plays allowed. No, I mean offense.

1:00:27.200 --> 1:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's what the whole thing's predicated on, isn't it. Yeah,

1:00:31.560 --> 1:00:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that long pass so that that's worrisome. That's worrisome, and

1:00:35.480 --> 1:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't I don't know if Notre Dame's got the

1:00:38.520 --> 1:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>personnel to guard against it. My point all along has

1:00:42.360 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 2>been that I don't think anybody's got the personnel to

1:00:44.240 --> 1:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>guard against it.

1:00:45.240 --> 1:00:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Nobody. That's why you've got to win a game fifty

1:00:48.840 --> 1:00:51.680
<v Speaker 1>two to whatever, forty six against Florida.

1:00:51.720 --> 1:00:53.480
<v Speaker 2>If you want to beat a team like a Clemson

1:00:53.560 --> 1:00:57.320
<v Speaker 2>or in Alabama, I don't think Notre Dame's got it

1:00:57.320 --> 1:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>in them.

1:00:58.320 --> 1:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Now.

1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:00.920
<v Speaker 2>That being said, they want an over time game earlier

1:01:00.960 --> 1:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>this year, which you conveniently forget about. It's so important

1:01:04.960 --> 1:01:08.120
<v Speaker 2>tie forty seven, we must, we must put weight on

1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>that game over the number two team in the country now,

1:01:10.520 --> 1:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the current team in the country. Yeah, so we did

1:01:14.360 --> 1:01:16.720
<v Speaker 2>have to go to extra football in order to get

1:01:16.760 --> 1:01:19.160
<v Speaker 2>to forty seven points. But I just I don't see

1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>it happening here. I don't see Notre Dame going into

1:01:20.920 --> 1:01:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a shootout and beating Alabama.

1:01:23.920 --> 1:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>If if I gave you an over under, I don't

1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>know what the number is. I'm sure there is somewhere

1:01:28.600 --> 1:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>you can find this Notre Dame's total point total in

1:01:31.880 --> 1:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>this game. Yep. If I said twenty two and a half,

1:01:37.600 --> 1:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>where are you going, I'd probably go over Okay. Yeah,

1:01:44.760 --> 1:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>so you think maybe something like in a forty nine

1:01:47.680 --> 1:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>to twenty eight kind of fashion, something like that, Okay,

1:01:53.400 --> 1:01:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I worry about a game like we just saw. I

1:01:56.600 --> 1:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>worry about.

1:01:57.320 --> 1:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>A really quick start for Alabama and the rest of

1:02:04.160 --> 1:02:07.200
<v Speaker 2>it is just kind of on cruise control. And look,

1:02:07.240 --> 1:02:09.120
<v Speaker 2>we've seen a bunch of games like that now in

1:02:09.160 --> 1:02:12.040
<v Speaker 2>the playoff, seen a bunch of games like that in

1:02:12.080 --> 1:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>the short history of the playoff where these semi finals

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>are blowout and.

1:02:16.760 --> 1:02:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I worry about that.

1:02:18.320 --> 1:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Look, could we could spin our yarns about Notre Dame

1:02:21.560 --> 1:02:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and where they're at in the pecking order, what the

1:02:24.280 --> 1:02:27.320
<v Speaker 2>loss to Clemson means within the context of this season

1:02:27.400 --> 1:02:31.080
<v Speaker 2>and the broader context of the Brian Kelly era. They're

1:02:31.160 --> 1:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>just a really good team to me, let me, let

1:02:33.400 --> 1:02:35.600
<v Speaker 2>me say and that's fine, but let me say this.

1:02:36.240 --> 1:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Let me bring this thing full circle. Fall circle, baby,

1:02:39.240 --> 1:02:43.000
<v Speaker 2>it is. It is very rare that you get drilled

1:02:43.240 --> 1:02:47.200
<v Speaker 2>in a conference championship game, or any big game for

1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:49.800
<v Speaker 2>that matter, the way Notre Dame did, and you get

1:02:49.840 --> 1:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>a chance in the very next game to potentially redeem

1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:56.080
<v Speaker 2>yourself when you zoom out and look.

1:02:55.960 --> 1:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>At where Notre Dame's been in the Brian Kelly era.

1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:00.880
<v Speaker 2>The knock on Kelly that he hasn't been able to

1:03:01.240 --> 1:03:04.920
<v Speaker 2>win the big one, right now, say what you want

1:03:04.960 --> 1:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>about the Clemson game earlier in the year, whether or

1:03:07.240 --> 1:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>not it's valid or not, they still did win that game.

1:03:11.680 --> 1:03:14.520
<v Speaker 2>It was a big game at the time. It's still

1:03:14.520 --> 1:03:16.120
<v Speaker 2>a nice win for Notre Dame. It got him in

1:03:16.120 --> 1:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>the playoff. If they get blown out in consecutive games

1:03:21.920 --> 1:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>to Clemson and Alabama, I'm real curious to see what

1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:27.160
<v Speaker 2>the reaction is about the Notre Dame community.

1:03:28.360 --> 1:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1:03:29.000 --> 1:03:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I haven't found anybody in Notre Dame world that thinks

1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:35.040
<v Speaker 2>that Notre Dame's winning this game against Alabama. But to

1:03:35.080 --> 1:03:38.520
<v Speaker 2>get embarrassed potentially two games in a row against the

1:03:38.520 --> 1:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>top two teams in the country would be a really

1:03:41.920 --> 1:03:45.640
<v Speaker 2>tough pill to swallow for Notre Dame fans, for Brian Kelly,

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>it would definitely set things back a little bit just

1:03:49.680 --> 1:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>in terms of perception.

1:03:51.280 --> 1:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But there's also no expectation. As you mentioned, there's zero expectations,

1:03:55.960 --> 1:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>so there's it's hard to be disappointed if you're not

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>expecting to hang with and or beat Alabama going in

1:04:02.760 --> 1:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>as a nearly three touchdown dog. I think in twenty twelve,

1:04:08.240 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I think by kickoff time, Notre Dame fans were like, look,

1:04:11.760 --> 1:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>we've got this defense, We've got Bob Diaco and his

1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>beautiful flowing hair and a Heisman finalist and Antiteo that

1:04:18.760 --> 1:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>was the year he was a finalist, right yep. We

1:04:22.040 --> 1:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>keep winning games. We just wean it's not always pretty,

1:04:25.080 --> 1:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>but we keep winning. We have Mike Golick junior up front.

1:04:29.720 --> 1:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>He was on that team, right yep, yep. I think

1:04:32.680 --> 1:04:35.280
<v Speaker 1>people that talk themselves into that defense keeping him in

1:04:35.320 --> 1:04:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that game, and then Eddie Lacy pulled on an Alabama jersey.

1:04:39.600 --> 1:04:44.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think since then, I don't know. I think

1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:48.360
<v Speaker 1>with every successive loss, I think Notre Dame fans are

1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>more realistic, as crazy as that might sound, because Notre

1:04:51.680 --> 1:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Dame fans, like basically everybody else, can be unrealistic when

1:04:55.240 --> 1:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the lights get bright. But I think Notre Dame fans

1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>going into this game, no, I had a really good year,

1:05:01.880 --> 1:05:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and we know what the worst can look like, and

1:05:06.200 --> 1:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>we know that Alabama's better than the team probably or

1:05:10.240 --> 1:05:12.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, has had a better season than the team

1:05:12.560 --> 1:05:16.880
<v Speaker 1>that just drilled us. So this is just me guessing,

1:05:16.960 --> 1:05:19.560
<v Speaker 1>total guess. I could not be obviously further away from

1:05:19.600 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 1>the Notre Dame community. I think they just want to

1:05:23.280 --> 1:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>They just want to show up, right, You just you

1:05:25.760 --> 1:05:27.919
<v Speaker 1>want to you want to look pretty good. You want

1:05:27.920 --> 1:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>to not get embarrassed once again. I just think that

1:05:30.840 --> 1:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>another embarrassment would be so difficult to get over. So

1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:37.360
<v Speaker 1>what do you go a to Urban Meyer. You think

1:05:37.360 --> 1:05:41.120
<v Speaker 1>that's like the school? He'll say, s too. No, okay,

1:05:41.520 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>so what do you mean.

1:05:42.520 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not proposing that a coaching change or anything like

1:05:44.840 --> 1:05:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that should happen.

1:05:45.600 --> 1:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying that.

1:05:47.160 --> 1:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>I just think I don't care how realistic your fan

1:05:50.440 --> 1:05:54.160
<v Speaker 2>base is. You get embarrassed two weeks in a row

1:05:54.200 --> 1:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>to the top two teams in the country. After the

1:05:57.560 --> 1:06:01.640
<v Speaker 2>whole goal of this era, the slow drumbeat of Notre

1:06:01.680 --> 1:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Dame football to continue to get better, has been to

1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:08.720
<v Speaker 2>get into games like this and perform admirably. If they

1:06:08.760 --> 1:06:11.080
<v Speaker 2>fall short again, they did it once earlier in the year.

1:06:11.120 --> 1:06:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Say what you want about that game. They did do

1:06:13.440 --> 1:06:17.440
<v Speaker 2>it once. If they do it two times in a

1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:20.960
<v Speaker 2>row now where they get embarrassed, that's that's just so difficult.

1:06:22.080 --> 1:06:23.919
<v Speaker 1>So what do you do do You just do nothing

1:06:24.000 --> 1:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and hope that the kid from San Diego's good. I

1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't know.

1:06:28.120 --> 1:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>What you do I think it's part of where we're

1:06:31.000 --> 1:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>at with college football. It's a larger discussion about competitive

1:06:33.680 --> 1:06:35.840
<v Speaker 2>balance and playoffs, and well.

1:06:35.800 --> 1:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>You're hiring a new defensive coordinator, right.

1:06:37.960 --> 1:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Hiring a new defensive coordinator. Defense is not going a

1:06:40.280 --> 1:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>problem this year? Well it was last week.

1:06:43.560 --> 1:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>It was last week.

1:06:44.440 --> 1:06:46.400
<v Speaker 2>But the problem last week was that they went up

1:06:46.400 --> 1:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>against Clemson at full strength, and the problem on January

1:06:50.600 --> 1:06:52.880
<v Speaker 2>first is going to be going up against Alabama full strength.

1:06:54.000 --> 1:06:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure you can do anything that's been that's

1:06:56.360 --> 1:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>been part of what's driven the rest of college football crazy.

1:07:00.040 --> 1:07:01.600
<v Speaker 2>Not much you can do when you're trying to compete

1:07:01.600 --> 1:07:02.320
<v Speaker 2>against these guys.

1:07:02.880 --> 1:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>So then my question is, I mean, this is probably

1:07:05.200 --> 1:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a different answer for you and for the you know,

1:07:07.000 --> 1:07:12.680
<v Speaker 1>there's no one unifying thought but to you, and what

1:07:12.840 --> 1:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>sense do you get of the Notre Dame fan base

1:07:15.000 --> 1:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>as a whole, even though it's not a homogeneous group.

1:07:18.600 --> 1:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the measuring stick? Is the measuring stick North Carolina

1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:24.320
<v Speaker 1>gotta be better at North Carolina? Or is the measuring

1:07:24.320 --> 1:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>stick Alabama Clemson? The measuring sticks Alabama Clemson?

1:07:28.400 --> 1:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Right, Okay, I don't think anyone comes away from a

1:07:31.160 --> 1:07:35.000
<v Speaker 2>potential embarrassment against Alabama and says, well, it was Alabama,

1:07:34.840 --> 1:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and I.

1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Know they gave it their best.

1:07:37.280 --> 1:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't think, if anything, I think it

1:07:39.800 --> 1:07:42.840
<v Speaker 2>stirs up a lot of the same emotion that we've

1:07:42.880 --> 1:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>seen throughout the entire Brian Kelly era. We hear even

1:07:46.880 --> 1:07:49.640
<v Speaker 2>more about him not being able to win the Big One,

1:07:49.960 --> 1:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>even though they did beat Clemson, but this is obviously

1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:55.040
<v Speaker 2>a bigger stage where it counts a little bit more.

1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>We would continue to hear that kind of stuff, and

1:07:59.440 --> 1:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>it's play Brian Kelly the entire time he's been there.

1:08:02.320 --> 1:08:04.840
<v Speaker 2>It would continue to play him even despite the fact

1:08:04.880 --> 1:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>that they had a really good season.

1:08:07.040 --> 1:08:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you're also asking Tommy Reese to outduel Brent

1:08:10.840 --> 1:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>Venables and Nick Saban a little bit of tough nice

1:08:14.720 --> 1:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to a gunfight. Yeah, it is a tough ask. Nothing

1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>appreciable changes with Notre Dame if they lose thirty seven

1:08:19.840 --> 1:08:24.639
<v Speaker 1>to three. I don't think so. Okay, No, I don't

1:08:24.680 --> 1:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>think so. All right, Hey, I hope it's a good game.

1:08:29.200 --> 1:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I like good football games. I'm tired of blowouts. I

1:08:31.640 --> 1:08:34.479
<v Speaker 1>know Chris Shower is watching his Instagram, He's tired of

1:08:34.479 --> 1:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>plot Yeah, he's tired of stretching during games. I'm like, okay,

1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>got to talk about somebody's high school teammate here, got

1:08:43.160 --> 1:08:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to talk about a pet situation.

1:08:44.800 --> 1:08:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, well, TV Bold season is fast approaching. We

1:08:50.040 --> 1:08:52.639
