Speaker 1: Three one zero, all engine running.
Speaker 2: Let's up. We have a little welcome back to the
Speaker 2: UFO show, Dan, mysterious music of the abyss the Unknown.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm mm hmm. I am ty he is Dan,
Speaker 2: this is the solid verbal. It is our Friday Orbit show.
Speaker 2: The you currently in discussion. We could talk about that momentarily.
Speaker 1: Dan Rubenstein is over there in the beautiful capital of
Speaker 1: the Midwest, Chicago, Illinois.
Speaker 2: Daniel, how are you? I'm good.
Speaker 1: We probably should have discussed this sooner, and we're going
Speaker 1: to get into news in a moment before we get
Speaker 1: into our I guess figuring out what you was going
Speaker 1: to stand for and what our actual Friday Orbit is today,
Speaker 1: because I guess people already know based on the.
Speaker 2: Title of the show.
Speaker 1: But do you are you intrigued by aliens? I know
Speaker 1: you're into space. I know you're into space travel. I
Speaker 1: know you're into fuel for space travel, and I know
Speaker 1: you're into Star Wars, which is more of a cartoonish
Speaker 1: Western look at space. But are you into aliens? Are
Speaker 1: you into extra terrestrials? I'm not even just talking alien ships,
Speaker 1: I guess though that's a sidebar. But are you into
Speaker 1: all things alien? Into all things aliens. You and Tom
Speaker 1: DeLong share that passion.
Speaker 2: Okay, share that passion. Yes, I had not been abducted
Speaker 2: the way Tom claims to have been, but all in
Speaker 2: on aliens. Yes.
Speaker 1: Do you go out of your way for alien movies
Speaker 1: or do you feel like that cheapens? What aliens might be?
Speaker 2: Alien movies? Yes? Not the alien movies. Did you like
Speaker 2: what was?
Speaker 1: It?
Speaker 2: Was a rival?
Speaker 1: I think with Amy Adams?
Speaker 2: Not bad? I liked it, not that not bad, signs
Speaker 2: not quite for me, mostly for me, but the end
Speaker 2: not for me. I could go for a good alien
Speaker 2: movie pretty much all the time. Yeah, it's movies, And
Speaker 2: this is I guess another broader discussion. Maybe we have
Speaker 2: this on our Patreon.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. What about a movie like ten Cloverfield Lane,
Speaker 1: which people seemed online to not like, but I watched
Speaker 1: it on a planet. I love the hell out of it.
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad. You know, I'm mixed. I like
Speaker 1: a good slow burn, Yeah I do. I think I
Speaker 1: thought both Arrival and ten Cloverfield Lane were slow burn
Speaker 1: alien movies.
Speaker 2: I am with you on Arrival. We can talk about
Speaker 2: ties favorite alien movies a little later on, if you'd
Speaker 2: like to mind of course by Independence Day.
Speaker 1: I like the idea, and we can talk about Patreon
Speaker 1: in a little bit. But I like the idea that
Speaker 1: we are going to be making so much in the
Speaker 1: way of new stuff and experimenting with new stuff to
Speaker 1: see what people like without inundating the masses with them,
Speaker 1: just the people who truly have good taste. That we
Speaker 1: could just do a once a month film show we.
Speaker 2: Could, or once a month alien show. I'm down with
Speaker 2: that too.
Speaker 1: We not just do a once a month alien show,
Speaker 1: we could do alien film show. That's just maybe we
Speaker 1: can probably get DeLong.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's he doing. He's not doing it.
Speaker 1: I think I might have a couple of connections to him.
Speaker 1: I think I might through my old pop punk days.
Speaker 1: I think I might have some DeLonge. I'd love to
Speaker 1: have them on pop punk days. I say that as
Speaker 1: if I played bass for Motion City soundtrack. Not the case,
Speaker 1: I assure you not. Wish I had would have been
Speaker 1: fun lived that Minneapolis lifestyle. But in any case, we
Speaker 1: should What do you want to talk about? You want
Speaker 1: to talk about news? Do you want to talk about
Speaker 1: Let's do news's let's do the UFO show, and then
Speaker 1: let's talk show stuff.
Speaker 2: Let's do our news, okay, our book news. What do
Speaker 2: we got?
Speaker 1: Dan uh Les Miles has the COVID. Oh Dan more
Speaker 1: outspoken people about if you're opting out, you're opting into COVID.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means about.
Speaker 2: Very weird comment. Yeah, I don't know what.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what that means about what he
Speaker 1: has done or not done. So hope he recovers quickly.
Speaker 1: I saw the GM, the GM, the AD. Gosh, Ti,
Speaker 1: I haven't even had the beer on our bruin a yet.
Speaker 2: I'm working on number one right now. I'm actually good
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just have the t. The Kansas AD mentioned
Speaker 1: if he remains symptom free, that he could be available
Speaker 1: to coach on the seventeenth of October, So not next week,
Speaker 1: but next week.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, I saw that the SEC has been very vocal
Speaker 1: to its programs and coaches and members saying, hey, we've
Speaker 1: been doing a good job thus far, and but we're
Speaker 1: seeing people maybe taking their foot off the gas in
Speaker 1: terms of public health. To call and here's the fine situation.
Speaker 1: One hundred grand if you what if it's one hundred
Speaker 1: grand if they find a violation going up against the
Speaker 1: school's payout and then one hundred grand each subsequent one.
Speaker 1: So the SEC, I think drawing a line in the
Speaker 1: sand in terms of, hey, follow what we're saying here
Speaker 1: because we want football, and I think I commend them
Speaker 1: for that.
Speaker 2: I commend them for it. And you know, the SEC,
Speaker 2: I think all long, Dan has actually done a pretty
Speaker 2: good job communicating where they're at. We talked about that
Speaker 2: all throughout the summertime when a lot of this was
Speaker 2: kind of up in the air. They were pretty outspoken
Speaker 2: about where they were. They were going to let the
Speaker 2: doctors and the experts guide what they did as a conference. Obviously,
Speaker 2: they held on even after the Big Ten decided to
Speaker 2: pull the plug. And so far, at least, you know,
Speaker 2: we've had cases crop up here and there, and by
Speaker 2: no means is this fully under control just as a society,
Speaker 2: but at least from a college football standpoint, they do
Speaker 2: seem to be able to manage it to some extent.
Speaker 2: And you know, I think we're grateful for any football
Speaker 2: we get. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Man, I did another radio show, a really good radio
Speaker 1: show where they're like, Okay, what do you think about
Speaker 1: the college football playoff and the Pac twel I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping Saturday goes great. I just hoping Saturday
Speaker 1: goes really well. Yeah, So that's where I'm at. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I tend to agree with you. The SEC has done
Speaker 1: a good job. They've been very communicative, they've been very vocal,
Speaker 1: and they've they've laid out their expectations and whether it's
Speaker 1: you know, practice protocol, whether it's facility protocol, coaches on
Speaker 1: the sidelines, because that is a very public facing position.
Speaker 1: What coaches do is influential. So hopeful that it's a
Speaker 1: meaningful communicate.
Speaker 2: Is that a word? Sure?
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the SEC programs. Otherwise, I did see Miszoo
Speaker 1: is now hosting the LSU matchup this week because of
Speaker 1: Hurricane Delta concerns. Okay, So here is the solid verbals
Speaker 1: official stance. Okay, and also, screw you Hurricane Delta. We
Speaker 1: hope you're a far weaker than what is presumed. So
Speaker 1: hopefully that goes off without a hitch, and we are
Speaker 1: we're thinking of everybody in that region and hope everybody
Speaker 1: is able to remain damage free.
Speaker 2: That's under Is that a take, That's not a take,
Speaker 2: that's just being a human. So yeah, I'm with you. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: U Mass and Georgia Southern are now scheduled for next Saturday.
Speaker 1: U Mass, of course, had canceled their season and is
Speaker 1: now booking opponents. It appears that book gaps have opponents
Speaker 1: through like a form on UMass dot edu. How they
Speaker 1: do it's a Google doc. It's a Google doc and
Speaker 1: not all of the fields are mandatory. So that I
Speaker 1: mean anytime, as you know, disappointing as U Mass is
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen season was guys go to UMass to play
Speaker 1: college football. They want to play, and they see other
Speaker 1: teams playing and if there everybody's able to practice the
Speaker 1: safety protocol that I'm happy for those dudes. This is
Speaker 1: going to happen that those U Mass players get to play.
Speaker 2: A huge wrench in my U Mass Georgia Southern party
Speaker 2: that I planned. But I will I will suffice. Why
Speaker 2: does it?
Speaker 1: How does it throw a wrench in your plans they're playing?
Speaker 2: I don't know. Moving on, what do you even talking about?
Speaker 1: You were very tired. It's been a long day, Dan, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's okay. Moving along. What other news is interesting to you?
Speaker 2: Ty? Anything? I'm excited about this week? College football? It's
Speaker 2: not news. It shouldn't be news to anybody if you've
Speaker 2: listened to the show. Right, just a lot of really
Speaker 2: good matchups that I think are going to actually help
Speaker 2: answer the question that we're going to talk about on
Speaker 2: this show tonight on O our UFL show. You know,
Speaker 2: we at this early juncture in the season. It still
Speaker 2: feels early, It still feels premature to really have a
Speaker 2: fully baked take on where teams stand in their respective conferences.
Speaker 2: And I feel like there are enough high profile matchups
Speaker 2: this week that we're going to get another interesting data point,
Speaker 2: let's say, on where team's rank relative to one another. Again,
Speaker 2: we don't have the cross pollination this year of conferences
Speaker 2: playing one another to really get that barometer where does
Speaker 2: one team stand in the Big twelve versus the SEC,
Speaker 2: versus the ACC versus eventually the Big ten in the
Speaker 2: Pac twelve. Now we're actually going to have just a
Speaker 2: little bit more data that we can go on in
Speaker 2: lieu of what might otherwise be a fun non conference late.
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to start talking about the games this week.
Speaker 1: What do you think about given today's game? And you
Speaker 1: can play this sound if you'd like right now.
Speaker 2: Inders, Yeah, Indus, you made this what was your how
Speaker 2: would you describe your state of mind making this sound.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about aliens, and then I thought about
Speaker 1: Space Invaders, and then I started looking up eight bit
Speaker 1: Royalty free space music, and nothing really did it for
Speaker 1: me because that seems too cartoonish and childlike, even though
Speaker 1: we love eight bit music. And then I found some
Speaker 1: free ambient spacey music, and then I wanted to keep
Speaker 1: the Invader theme because that's it goes along with how
Speaker 1: we're discussing it and tying it to college football. And
Speaker 1: you know what I thought about a little bit while
Speaker 1: making this. If you want the true inspiration, the behind
Speaker 1: the music, the meaning of life, do you know what?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 1: If you heard of Del the Funky Homo Sapien in
Speaker 1: Deltron thirty thirty, a futuristic rap experiment from like two
Speaker 1: thousand and two.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend I know anything about what
Speaker 2: you're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's a fun listen Deltron thirty thirty. I'm looking it's
Speaker 1: there was an album. It's like a high concept. I
Speaker 1: don't know how to explain it, but it's really good
Speaker 1: and it was a right around the turn of the century,
Speaker 1: and that was my inspiration all right, does that make sense?
Speaker 1: So okay, this is what we mean by alien invaders,
Speaker 1: and Ty, you can tell me if my proposed you
Speaker 1: make sense, which team from the Power five conferences, and
Speaker 1: we can go beyond them as well, that has not
Speaker 1: won that Power five conference in the last three years
Speaker 1: has the best chance to ready for the you you surp,
Speaker 1: you surp, you surping Friday Orbit, you surp control away
Speaker 1: from the team or teams that have controlled the top
Speaker 1: of that conference. So in the case of the Big Twelve,
Speaker 1: it's anybody but Oklahoma who has won the conference these
Speaker 1: last three years. The case of the Big Ten, anybody
Speaker 1: but Ohio State, in the case of the ACC, anybody
Speaker 1: but Clemson. Obviously, the SEC we have Georgia, LSU, Alabama,
Speaker 1: and the Pac twelve has Washington, Utah, Oregon, So those
Speaker 1: are a little bit more wide open. But those other
Speaker 1: conferences have more to choose from. So who poses that
Speaker 1: threat to invade the turf of the team or teams
Speaker 1: that have won that conference recently?
Speaker 2: Since you're talking about invaders, Dan, and you also mentioned
Speaker 2: to me before we hit the record button that Jody
Speaker 2: with and I walked into the room as you were
Speaker 2: putting this sound together and just looked at you with
Speaker 2: a quizzical stare.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know it goes both ways. Tie because
Speaker 1: she has zoom calls, so she's like business on top
Speaker 1: and sweatpants. So we look at each other various scants
Speaker 1: most of the day, does Jody with and I have
Speaker 1: a business voice.
Speaker 2: I'm told that I have a business voice that I
Speaker 2: use that it's it's not the broadcast voice. It's not
Speaker 2: the normal thie voice. It's the business voice.
Speaker 1: She absolutely does, and it's hilarious to me.
Speaker 2: So we're talking about usurping, usurping previous champions on our usurp.
Speaker 2: It's tough to say usurping, Hm Friday Orbit. Shall we
Speaker 2: start course? Shall we start in the SEC? Since let's
Speaker 2: do it we were singing their praises earlier. The last
Speaker 2: three SEC champions have been LSU, Alabama, and Georgia. So
Speaker 2: if we're keeping with the theme here, I'm assuming we're
Speaker 2: looking for a school outside of those three that we
Speaker 2: feel has a chance to usurp, to overtake, to be
Speaker 2: the alien invader and win the SEC in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Is that or maybe establish themselves as one of those
Speaker 1: types of powers atop the conference for years to come,
Speaker 1: but at least this year.
Speaker 2: Yes, the obvious answer here has to be Florida Arkansas.
Speaker 2: What has to be the Florida Gators. That's sort of
Speaker 2: the low hanging fruit. I guess my question is, to
Speaker 2: your point, is there another school in the SEC outside
Speaker 2: of these three, outside of Florida who might be in
Speaker 2: a position to you know, make some hay two or
Speaker 2: three years down the line. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a team that has beaten all three
Speaker 1: of those teams relatively recently, and that's Auburn. And so
Speaker 1: early returns have not been wonderful this year, But what
Speaker 1: have we seen out of gus Malsan over the long haul?
Speaker 1: As soon as they look bad, they wipe three team
Speaker 1: wipe the floor with three teams that look really good.
Speaker 1: And so are Auburn's always looming as the perennial wildcard
Speaker 1: and in terms of talent but not necessarily performance and
Speaker 1: results Texas A and M. But they are a blue
Speaker 1: chip ratio team. I think they're exactly at fifty percent
Speaker 1: of their roster, their scholarships going to blue chip four
Speaker 1: or five star players. So I don't know how seriously
Speaker 1: you take them but they meet a minimum bar for
Speaker 1: a threat. We could have, I guess talked about Mississippi
Speaker 1: State after week one, but that conversation.
Speaker 2: I think kind of went out the window, didn't.
Speaker 1: It is dwindling a bit, and I think in the
Speaker 1: long term there's an interesting ceiling for Tennessee. But twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: I think it's Florida with a sprinkling of Auburn.
Speaker 2: With the Kyle Driver. We got a question about, oh yeah,
Speaker 2: the Kyles and the Kyle Driver that we can discuss
Speaker 2: in our Bruine episode if you will. I would love to,
Speaker 2: But I think Florida is the low hanging fruit here
Speaker 2: of the teams you mentioned. You know it should go
Speaker 2: without saying. If you've listened to this show, Tennessee is
Speaker 2: a particular interest to me. I don't have a thing
Speaker 2: for Jared Garantano. I'm just not not a I've been here,
Speaker 2: not vibing with Guarantano. But I do like the rest
Speaker 2: of the roster. I like the running game, I like
Speaker 2: the defense. I like that they play hard week in
Speaker 2: and week out, and you know, curious to see what
Speaker 2: happens post Guarantano. Recruiting has been pretty strong. There probably
Speaker 2: a stretch to see a conference title on the horizon.
Speaker 2: But the team is definitely improving in a really big way.
Speaker 2: I think that's except they could build the whole roster.
Speaker 1: Out of the linebacking cor Then we have a conversation
Speaker 1: I have moving on.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the ACC. So it's been going on.
Speaker 1: Can I give you my concern about Florida?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 1: You can throw the ball on them. Yeah, well, you
Speaker 1: can move the ball on Florida. I mean, I thought
Speaker 1: they did a pretty good job against South Carolina, but
Speaker 1: they needed a lot of South Carolina helping them with
Speaker 1: the issues that they might have they might have on defense,
Speaker 1: replacing a lot of production from last year. What Ole
Speaker 1: Miss was able to do is a little bit concerning.
Speaker 1: As for usurping potential, right, I.
Speaker 2: Would think so, I mean Old Miss is not I
Speaker 2: don't think in the near term going to have true
Speaker 2: usurping potential to make any kind of lasting dent in
Speaker 2: the SEC West or the SEC as a whole. But
Speaker 2: I don't know, give them a couple of years if
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin works out. You know, I think what we
Speaker 2: saw on offense was pretty exciting through a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need quarterback and defense to feel fully confident.
Speaker 1: But the Florida schedule is actually pretty nice.
Speaker 2: It's great.
Speaker 1: I know they they have Georgia of course at a
Speaker 1: neutral site, they host LSU, and they traveled to Tennessee
Speaker 1: to end the season. But otherwise it's a nice year
Speaker 1: to be really strong on offense. It appears really strong
Speaker 1: on offense, and the schedule does work in their favor.
Speaker 1: One of the things we said on the on the
Speaker 1: previous show, you know, if you're going to play an
Speaker 1: all conference schedule Florida.
Speaker 2: Florida drew a pretty pretty nice looking straw there. Yeah,
Speaker 2: when you were high on them from day one, going undefeated,
Speaker 2: winning the SEC.
Speaker 1: Next, I love it. Next conference, Let's.
Speaker 2: Go to the ACC. Dan, Okay, let's go the ACE.
Speaker 1: I think there's only one answer, but I'm curious to
Speaker 1: hear what you have to say.
Speaker 2: Well, there's probably more than one answers if you want
Speaker 2: to use a qualifier. Okay, Clemson has obviously won the
Speaker 2: ACC each of the last three seasons, so when you
Speaker 2: talk about who can you surp the Clemson Tigers, this
Speaker 2: year is probably the exception to the rule because Notre
Speaker 2: Dame is in the ACC. That's correct, So could be
Speaker 2: Notre Dame could make a case for Miami. Probably not
Speaker 2: after this week, but at least for now, could make
Speaker 2: that case moving forward beyond this season, though it is
Speaker 2: the obvious answer Miami.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready. I would love it to be. I'm
Speaker 1: just not ready for it. I don't know if there
Speaker 1: is an obvious answer beyond this season this year, I
Speaker 1: think the most obvious answer is Notre Dame.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if i'm I.
Speaker 1: Mean, technically speaking, ian Book is a playoff quarterback, right,
Speaker 1: technically speaking, technically speaking, ian Book is a playoff quarterback.
Speaker 1: He's fine, He's pretty good. Miami has the wild card
Speaker 1: element two things, and we will find out soon enough
Speaker 1: what that actually means. But Notre Dame has that blue
Speaker 1: chip ratio, so they can weather injuries better than pretty
Speaker 1: much everybody else in the country. I don't know who's
Speaker 1: behind ian Book. I don't know if that's worrisome, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that defense, the continuity along the coaching staff. Say, for
Speaker 1: Tom Tommy Reese, I am confident that if there is
Speaker 1: a team, it's going to be a team that hosts Clemson.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a team that has talent and
Speaker 1: it has been a team that has been able to
Speaker 1: win both comfortably and their clunkers throughout a year and
Speaker 1: find themselves in the playoff. That's Notre Dame. I think
Speaker 1: that's the obvious answer. North Carolina is interesting, but I
Speaker 1: don't think they have the depth and the talent level
Speaker 1: across the board, and everybody else seems to have at
Speaker 1: least one point two fatal flaws.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is the obvious answer this year. Okay, acknowledged.
Speaker 2: You know, Miami's got a transfer quarterback who has been
Speaker 2: really good, better at quarterback than they've had in a while,
Speaker 2: but he's gone next year, right, so what are they do?
Speaker 2: There's right, SOUI like, I have a fair amount of
Speaker 2: confidence that many Daz is going to put a defense
Speaker 2: out there. It's what he's good at. But getting consistency
Speaker 2: at the quarterback position has been a real issue. And
Speaker 2: you know, now he's very early on in his tenure.
Speaker 2: I'm not implying that this is all many Das his fault,
Speaker 2: but it's been a recurring theme at Miami for several
Speaker 2: years running now, and I think it's something that needs
Speaker 2: to be resolved. They should be able to recruit to
Speaker 2: Miami to play quarterback, and if he can find a replacement,
Speaker 2: then Miami maybe is the answer moving forward. I'm excited
Speaker 2: about North Carolina. I think, if I'm picking from the
Speaker 2: remaining pool, North Carolina seems to be doing a good
Speaker 2: job of landing really good talent in the recruiting game.
Speaker 2: They've obviously got Sam Halle for at least another season,
Speaker 2: which will bode well for him. But they've They've done
Speaker 2: some work on defense in the recruiting game that I
Speaker 2: think is going to just have a lasting effect. Whereas
Speaker 2: they might have been all offense a year ago, they
Speaker 2: clearly paid more attention on defense in the recruiting cycle,
Speaker 2: and I'm just curious to see how that works out
Speaker 2: for them now in the next few seasons.
Speaker 1: You got a dog excited about that?
Speaker 2: Is all excited for North Carolina's defense.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a twenty twenty one especially of
Speaker 1: what we can see from them twenty twenty. It's a
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one magnifying glass. So we agree that's boring.
Speaker 1: We've agreed on the first two answers. I think we
Speaker 1: will part with number three. You want to talk about
Speaker 1: the big twelve. Let's talk about the big nine teams
Speaker 1: to choose from. Oklahoma's won the last three years. I
Speaker 1: think we got some interesting options here outside of Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: We've obviously got Texas. We're gonna see the Red River
Speaker 1: shoot Out this weekend. Maybe that'll give us some clarity.
Speaker 2: We've obviously got Oklahoma State as well, the only undefeated
Speaker 2: team still in the Big Twelve. Got a good defense
Speaker 2: this year. The quarterback position right now a little up
Speaker 2: in the air given the injury to Spencer Sanders, but
Speaker 2: good skill position talent with Chewba Hubbard and Tyland Wallace.
Speaker 2: We've got our friend, longtime friend of the show, Rock Purty.
Speaker 1: Long time friend of the show, our friend Ari Temkin
Speaker 1: did from Sirius XM from Big twelve Radio. He was
Speaker 1: able to ask Brock Purdy about brock Tober and the
Speaker 1: answer was, yeah, I've heard about it. It's a fun thing,
Speaker 1: but you know, I don't pay too much attention.
Speaker 2: Lies all lies. Why Rock's going to be our first
Speaker 2: Patreon subscriber, you know it, I know it. Just want
Speaker 2: to get that out there.
Speaker 1: I will also tell you this, would it surprise you
Speaker 1: if he files for a trademark for like the like
Speaker 1: what qb aggies did with Kenny Trill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think he should. I don't want it.
Speaker 2: I don't want it. I don't want to pay that
Speaker 2: kind of cabbage for that.
Speaker 1: It would be wonderful if he does. October is wonderful.
Speaker 1: That's my answer.
Speaker 2: Actually, Iowa State, who else do we got there?
Speaker 1: I mean, k State, Kansas State? Okay, So State State
Speaker 1: is undefeated in conference. We're just talking about Big twelve championships,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter that they lost to Louisiana, as
Speaker 1: ugly as that was. You have TCU, who just had
Speaker 1: a nice win but did lose to Iowa State. You
Speaker 1: have Baylor, who I think we can say is it's
Speaker 1: going to be a struggle West Virginia, Kansas. I mean,
Speaker 1: so is it a four way? Minaja caught? My friend
Speaker 1: is correct? Texas, TCU, Iowa State, Kansas State. I guess
Speaker 1: it's five way with Oklahoma State. If if they can
Speaker 1: get Spencer Sanders at an interesting level, or if Shane
Speaker 1: Illingworth really works out, what.
Speaker 2: Tell me why? Your answer is Iowa State schedule is nice.
Speaker 1: They have Kansas State in ames, They've already beaten two
Speaker 1: major threats what we perceive to be two major threats.
Speaker 1: In Oklahoma and TCU, So in terms of tie breakers,
Speaker 1: they're in a nice place early. They have jumped out
Speaker 1: of the starting gates impressively in Big Twelve play, winning
Speaker 1: on the road against TCU and beating Oklahoma in dramatic fashion.
Speaker 1: That to me is the interesting thing about Iowa State.
Speaker 1: And if I'm going to lean on my combination of
Speaker 1: quarterback and defense as the ultimate combo, I think they
Speaker 1: have it an interesting Chakwan Bailey is a star on
Speaker 1: the edge. I just I think situationally, Iowa State's in
Speaker 1: a really good place. Go clones.
Speaker 2: I think the answer for me is Oklahoma State. I am.
Speaker 2: I am really into their defense. In looking at their schedule,
Speaker 2: they do have a road tilt against Oklahoma, but they're
Speaker 2: home against Texas, home against Texas close out the year
Speaker 2: at TCU. That'll be a tough game. So it's not
Speaker 2: an easy path here. There are a bunch of games
Speaker 2: that if you look at their projected win probability, it's
Speaker 2: like sixty forty, you know. But I have a lot
Speaker 2: of faith in that offense. Once Spencer Sanders gets back,
Speaker 2: I have a lot of faith in that defense hopefully
Speaker 2: should raise the floor for them and keep them on
Speaker 2: sort of track for this even if they don't have
Speaker 2: the offense firing on all cylinders. And I just feel
Speaker 2: like they're in a really good spot. You know, they've
Speaker 2: got a week off here before they go Baylor, Iowa State, Texas,
Speaker 2: and k State, and that's going to tell us an
Speaker 2: awful lot about this team. I hope Spencer Sanders is
Speaker 2: able to get back if he's back out there, if
Speaker 2: he's performing at the level that I think they expect,
Speaker 2: they've they've got to be the answer here, just have
Speaker 2: to be the answer because of that defense.
Speaker 1: I guess, But I don't know that getting Spencer Sanders
Speaker 1: back locks them in on that side of the ball.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you a secret some of his struggles
Speaker 2: last week? Yeah, I just bought broctober dot com just
Speaker 2: the case, did you as you were talking? As I
Speaker 2: was talking, I purchased that totally. Hell yeah, good for
Speaker 2: you multitasking here on the Friday. How much you spend
Speaker 2: on it? Twelve ninety nine? Uh, Harvard dot com twelve
Speaker 2: ninety nine. Yep, good bye you, Good job by you.
Speaker 1: If brock Party wants it, if he wants it, you
Speaker 1: have for free.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just give it to him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that four game stretch of Texas, Kansas State, Oklahoma,
Speaker 1: and Iowa State to start things off. That's a little
Speaker 1: bit scary to me about Oklahoma State especially. I'm both
Speaker 1: for Spencer Sanders and Shane Ellingworth. I think they're really
Speaker 1: close if everything is hitting, but I'm not fully there.
Speaker 2: Have you looked at our portfolio of domains lately? We
Speaker 2: have some really weird domains in here. What do we have?
Speaker 1: Oh? Boy, I think I own fartblin doctors, art goblin.
Speaker 2: I don't. We don't have anything like that in our
Speaker 2: portfolio as like an actual business. But okay, we got
Speaker 2: some oddities in here. Okay, I like it, a new
Speaker 2: one that we may be rolling out soon. Wink wink,
Speaker 2: nudge nudge.
Speaker 1: Hey, Texas is just does not move the needle for
Speaker 1: you as a usurper. No, the team with the highest
Speaker 1: level of talent of the remaining nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's an interesting point. I'm glad you bring
Speaker 2: that up. They do move the needle because it's Texas.
Speaker 2: I'm just sick of talking about Texas. You know, the
Speaker 2: Texas's back thing is almost like cliche at this point
Speaker 2: for all the wrong reasons. Almost Well, it is and
Speaker 2: I we both picked Texas outright, I think to win
Speaker 2: Red River Shootout. We like their talent, We we like
Speaker 2: a lot about the team for whatever it is, they
Speaker 2: haven't been able to get over the hump.
Speaker 1: And wait, hold on, do you like a lot about Texas? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like that's faint.
Speaker 2: Praise, faint praise. No, I mean, yeah, of course I
Speaker 2: like Texas. I've I've been all in on Texas for
Speaker 2: years now, and the only reason it ever sounds like
Speaker 2: I'm not is because they've let me down so many
Speaker 2: damn times. And why do you like them? Because I
Speaker 2: can't quit him. It's like TCU, I have this weird
Speaker 2: affliction with the Big twelve.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to get you living in like Amarillo
Speaker 1: or something. You just need to relocate to Texas and
Speaker 1: just have these weird crushes with in state schools. Texas
Speaker 1: is not a fun watch to me. I get the
Speaker 1: best of Texas. I get the worst of Texas. And
Speaker 1: maybe it's just because Sam Ellinger has been there for
Speaker 1: so long and I'm used to just you know, him
Speaker 1: trying to barrel dudes over from the three yard line.
Speaker 1: I just I kind of just get it. I kind
Speaker 1: of get the Texas deal under Tom Herman. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying they should get rid of them, but in terms
Speaker 1: of week to week, I'm never that excited to watch
Speaker 1: Texas football because it's just always like, Wow, there's like
Speaker 1: all this palace intrigue, and the palace is on stilts.
Speaker 1: It's it's tough to get juiced about the horns. I
Speaker 1: don't know, Well, something does that. Something does not do.
Speaker 2: It for me about them. So your usurper is Iowa
Speaker 2: State and minus O State.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's an energy, there's a fun there, there's a combination,
Speaker 1: there's an underdog thing.
Speaker 2: I'm going to Iowa State. Let's go the PAC twelve. Okay,
Speaker 2: Pack twelve is not Yeah. PAC twelve has not started
Speaker 2: play yet. They will shortly. Your last three Pac twelve
Speaker 2: champions have been Oregon, Washington, and USC. I'm not going
Speaker 2: to pretend that I know a lot about the PAC twelve.
Speaker 2: I feel like we have focused so much on the
Speaker 2: sec of the ACC and the Big twelve that another
Speaker 2: conference or two starting play is going to throw a
Speaker 2: big time monkey wrench in our little process here. But
Speaker 2: I know you follow the PAC twelve. Yeah, is there
Speaker 2: another team here? That jumps out at you.
Speaker 1: Ay California Golden Bears quarterback and defense. I'm not there's
Speaker 1: a lot of the the a lot of just energy
Speaker 1: on the West coast, saying the phrase Cal's undefeated, in
Speaker 1: which Chase Garber's played all four corners. Okay, okay, all right, Relax, relax, relax,
Speaker 1: real sense. Cal's interesting. Cal has a terrific schedule, and
Speaker 1: that they get Washington and Oregon. I believe Washington opens
Speaker 1: the season and Cal, if nothing else, owns the Washington Huskies,
Speaker 1: and they get Oregon at home, and that game is
Speaker 1: a sandwich, I believe for Oregon between their two rivals
Speaker 1: in Oregon state on the road in Washington and Eugene.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot clouding Oregon mines right around there
Speaker 1: and Cal, I think, especially with the opt in of
Speaker 1: cam Bynum, I know they lose some key other key
Speaker 1: pieces on defense. I'm curious to see whether or not
Speaker 1: they're able to generate killers on the outside, you know,
Speaker 1: if they're able to worry teams. I mean, we've talked
Speaker 1: about the phrase problem problem and Cal certainly fits that
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator. But Chase Garver's is solid. He's pretty
Speaker 1: good and It's been a long time since been able
Speaker 1: to say that about Cal quarterback consistently. So if he's
Speaker 1: able to stay healthy, I really like Justin Wilcox is
Speaker 1: a defensive mind. I think that's my answer. I think
Speaker 1: things line up really nicely for Cal.
Speaker 2: What about Utah? Everybody? How do we not mention Utah?
Speaker 2: Does it matter that they lose?
Speaker 1: Everybody?
Speaker 2: Though?
Speaker 1: This is a particularly lost filled off season? The off
Speaker 1: season twelve offseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the off season is uh well, has not
Speaker 2: been kind to the utah Utes. They got to find
Speaker 2: a quarterback, got to find a running back. I mean,
Speaker 2: Jake Bentley comes over. But you know, they have their
Speaker 2: work cut out for them on the offensive side.
Speaker 1: And schedule's great, by the schedule's fine, but most of
Speaker 1: the defense has gone to I have faith that Kyle
Speaker 1: Woodingham is going to put a formidable defense out there,
Speaker 1: even if he's losing a lot. And the schedule is
Speaker 1: not bad. They've also played the schedule is amazing. They've
Speaker 1: also played in the Pac twelve championship game each of
Speaker 1: the last two seasons, so you know, even though they're close,
Speaker 1: they haven't actually gotten over the hump. I don't know
Speaker 1: how they can't be the answer. Like I'm with you,
Speaker 1: I'm google for Garber's as well.
Speaker 2: I mean, would rather Chase Chase Garber's or Jake Bentley?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's always Chase Garber's, Okay, always in forever.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying I have more faith in Kyle
Speaker 2: Whittingham putting a balanced unit out there on the field
Speaker 2: and potentially usurping one of these three teams than I
Speaker 2: do almost anybody else in the Pact twelve.
Speaker 1: A team that a lot of ink proverbial ink has
Speaker 1: been spilled over, as ASU beat Oregon last year late
Speaker 1: in a game Oregon needed to get to the playoff.
Speaker 1: I think they start the season at four am against
Speaker 1: USC oh Man, would you go if if this were
Speaker 1: a normal year and say Penn State were closer to you,
Speaker 1: they were like an hour away or something instead of
Speaker 1: what are they three and a half hours something like that?
Speaker 1: About two and a half oh two and a half hours.
Speaker 1: Let's say there an hour way, let's say forty five
Speaker 1: minutes away. Penn State's kicking off at nine am local
Speaker 1: and doing so against I don't know, Michigan, and you've
Speaker 1: got great seats you're on like the thirty five yard
Speaker 1: line twenty five rows up? Would you go to a
Speaker 1: nine am kickoff?
Speaker 2: I'm awake at like three thirty am every day, so
Speaker 2: it's all relative. It's all relative. I'm just getting rolling
Speaker 2: by by nine am. So I'm probably the wrong person
Speaker 2: to ask, But yeah, I mean I kind of like it.
Speaker 2: You get the game out of the way, you get
Speaker 2: the rest of the day in front of you. I
Speaker 2: love it. I would.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel for the players because that means
Speaker 1: you're starting your day at five six am, waking up
Speaker 1: and eating and practicing and stretching and all that, or
Speaker 1: walkthroughs and stretching. I am, I would love to attend
Speaker 1: a nine am game, But I think we are just
Speaker 1: very washed. I think we have to keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: I think that is an element to it. You want
Speaker 1: to figure that's finish this out with the big ten.
Speaker 2: Ohio State, Ohigo State's won the last three. The obvious
Speaker 2: answer here is Penn State, at least in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: You think so, you think it's obvious. I think so.
Speaker 2: Even without Michael Parsons, I still think this is gonna
Speaker 2: be a really good Penn State team. I think they're
Speaker 2: obvious Michigan is starting over in a lot of spots.
Speaker 2: Michigan State new coach. No one else in the East
Speaker 2: really jumps out at me. In the West, I guess
Speaker 2: you could make a case like you always can for Wisconsin.
Speaker 2: Wisconsin should be very good. Minnesota should be very good
Speaker 2: as well. I don't know if they're Ohio State levels.
Speaker 2: I was always pesky, you know, Nebraska, who knows what
Speaker 2: to expect there? But I you know it has to
Speaker 2: be Penn State. Who else could it be?
Speaker 1: I have Minnesota? Why Minnesota? Penn State's on a losing
Speaker 1: streak to Minnesota. Correct, they aren't a losing streak, but
Speaker 1: they did lose. Kirkshruck abaited you tie abating, I did it,
Speaker 1: friend of the show.
Speaker 2: He doesn't know it.
Speaker 1: This is when you buy Kirksharaka dot com. Is that available?
Speaker 2: Let me see if I can find If I can
Speaker 2: buy it, I will hear. I have to find out
Speaker 2: how you spell his name first.
Speaker 1: We're such just meaninglessly wasting money on squatting on non
Speaker 1: profitable websites. The answer for me is Minnesota because they
Speaker 1: do not have to play Ohio State during the regular season,
Speaker 1: which means that potentially on a neutral site with rhythm,
Speaker 1: with a new offensive coordinator, Mike Sanford junior, and with
Speaker 1: the potential that Ohio State and not rooting for this,
Speaker 1: I'm knocking on wood that it doesn't happen. Loses players
Speaker 1: to injury, key players to injuries, so that spot becomes
Speaker 1: the most interesting. We've seen teams compete with Ohio State
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten Championship game for stretches two quarters,
Speaker 1: three quarters. I like PJ.
Speaker 2: Fleck.
Speaker 1: I like his recruiting. I think they still have a
Speaker 1: number of underrecreated, underrated recruits and talent level. But the
Speaker 1: defense thing worries me that they're replacing a bunch on front,
Speaker 1: and they bring back a lot in the secondary, but
Speaker 1: they don't have Antoine Winfield, who has been their total
Speaker 1: stud in the secondary these past couple of years. But
Speaker 1: the reop in of Rashad Bateman, I'm having Moe Abraham.
Speaker 1: I'm I just I like Minnesota. I like their schedule,
Speaker 1: I like sky Yuma, and there's something to me that
Speaker 1: is with Jack Cone going down in Wisconsin and losing
Speaker 1: what they do on offense and defense, losing those linebackers.
Speaker 1: I think Wisconsin has a nice year and I believe
Speaker 1: I'm looking this up right now where the X game
Speaker 1: is being played, Paul Bunyan's X.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's something about Minnesota that I think that they're going
Speaker 1: to be able to weather these weird times, and they
Speaker 1: have the best chance because you miss Ohio State. I
Speaker 1: think they open with Michigan, which is nice. So you
Speaker 1: get Joe Milton in his first game and that's at Minnesota.
Speaker 1: The stretches are actually pretty kind. Iowa sandwiched between Illinois
Speaker 1: and Purdue. They have Marylyn and Illinois as road tilts
Speaker 1: early on. Wisconsin is on the road and Nebraska's on
Speaker 1: the road to finish things out.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: You miss Ohio State, you miss Penn State, you miss
Speaker 1: Michigan State. For whatever that's worth. I like situationally where
Speaker 1: Minnesota might be this year with Tanner Morgan and Rashad Bateman.
Speaker 2: So the good news is that we now own Kirksharaka
Speaker 2: dot com com cutching. The other good news is that
Speaker 2: we also after it elon musk. We also have the
Speaker 2: option to buy one Kirksharraka dot com, Kirksharraka Shop dot
Speaker 2: com or Global Kirksharaka dot com.
Speaker 1: Is he big enough yet to have his own web extension? Like,
Speaker 1: can we buy kirk dot sharraka? Does that not exist yet?
Speaker 1: It's he's not in the land of biz and show.
Speaker 2: We have Kirksharaka dot Systems for twenty one ninety nine.
Speaker 2: Kirksaraka Kirk I can't even say his name, Kirksharaka dot
Speaker 2: so Solutions dot com. He sounds like he's sort of
Speaker 2: in the Jim Cheney consulting school there.
Speaker 1: Right, sure, don't we just buy dot govs?
Speaker 2: No, I don't. They don't give me that option. I'd
Speaker 2: probably need to provide paperwork. They have a lot of
Speaker 2: very odd extensions. Now, kirksharrakatools dot com.
Speaker 1: Let's just go kirks kirkschocka dot com. Yeah, yeah, just
Speaker 1: grab it, just grab it. You never know, you never know.
Speaker 2: I'll redirect it to his actual like page. No, I
Speaker 2: don't think that'll change ever. So well, okay, we'll point
Speaker 2: it twelve ninety nine. Well spent Hover dot com not
Speaker 2: a sponsor.
Speaker 1: So you're going make the case. I suppose Penn State
Speaker 1: gets Ohio State at home? Right, yes, correct, that's early
Speaker 1: week two week two week two Okay, who does Penn
Speaker 1: State have on the road this year and make the
Speaker 1: case for me personnel wise that they are on the
Speaker 1: level of Ohio State, if not surpassing the Buckeyes.
Speaker 2: At Indiana, at Nebraska, at Michigan at Rutgers. How are
Speaker 2: you feeling about that slate? Feeling pretty good? Feeling pretty good? Yeah?
Speaker 2: And then at home, remember it's an eight game Big
Speaker 2: ten slate. At home, it's Ohio State, Maryland, Iowa, which
Speaker 2: always gives them fits. Doesn't matter how good Iowa is,
Speaker 2: it always gives them fits.
Speaker 1: Well, I was always general. I mean, they're decent. They're
Speaker 1: a decent team at worst.
Speaker 2: It seems they could be one hundred and nineteenth in
Speaker 2: the SP plus and they would still give Penn State
Speaker 2: a hard time. It's just the way this game goes.
Speaker 2: And then they close out the year against Michigan State.
Speaker 2: So that's a very very workable schedule if I'm looking
Speaker 2: at projected win probabilities every game on this schedule outside
Speaker 2: of Ohio State, and the road tilt against Michigan is
Speaker 2: at least seventy five percent or higher. Okay, So you
Speaker 2: feel good about that.
Speaker 1: I feel goods on their team to opt.
Speaker 2: Out lose the best player in there on their team
Speaker 2: to opt out. But you know, I'm optimistic that Sean
Speaker 2: Clifford can show improvement with Kirk Shiraka go to Kirksharaka
Speaker 2: dot com. The running game is low key very good,
Speaker 2: maybe one of the better units in the country. Okay,
Speaker 2: And you know, even with the loss of Micah Parsons,
Speaker 2: they have recruited very well in defense and they still
Speaker 2: have a pretty good cast of characters coming back, So
Speaker 2: I think the floor is really high for them. I
Speaker 2: do expect that they're going to get a little bit
Speaker 2: more out of that offense than Ricky Ronnie did. There
Speaker 2: are weapons that they can utilize. I still don't feel
Speaker 2: great about the receiving core. It's a one like I
Speaker 2: like Baby Gronk, But outside of that, I'm just you know,
Speaker 2: who's going to step up? Is it Johan Dotson? Is
Speaker 2: it somebody else? That's that's sort of the open question
Speaker 2: to me. That and obviously Sean Clifford. But no, I
Speaker 2: feel good about the schedule. I feel good about this team.
Speaker 2: The recruiting has been so strong as of late that
Speaker 2: even if it doesn't happen this year, I think Penn
Speaker 2: State's got a really bright future here in the coming years,
Speaker 2: and they're probably like the low hanging fruit to this question,
Speaker 2: got to be Penn State.
Speaker 1: Penn States yards per carry against Ohio State these last
Speaker 1: few years twenty nineteen, and perhaps they can improve upon it.
Speaker 1: Two point seventy five.
Speaker 2: Not great. It's not been great. It really hasn't.
Speaker 1: The year before that, okay, four point six, the year
Speaker 1: before that against Ohio State two point six, and then
Speaker 1: the year before that three point three. And now they
Speaker 1: don't have an obvious passing game threat unless you believe
Speaker 1: in Hu Tai Kirkhuraka of these five teams. And I
Speaker 1: also want to ask you about the American of these
Speaker 1: five teams, who stands the best usurping chance. I don't
Speaker 1: know if we agreed on Iowa State, but Iowa State,
Speaker 1: cal Florida, we'll say, Penn State or Minnesota, like, which
Speaker 1: of these conferences is most usurpable?
Speaker 2: I think it's I think Florida. I mean, I've been
Speaker 2: high in Florida the whole time. And you know, I
Speaker 2: think we've seen a progression now under Dan Bullen that
Speaker 2: you can feel confident things are going in good direction.
Speaker 2: Recruiting is always strong at Florida. They've seemingly got the
Speaker 2: quarterback situation resolved at least for this season. So yeah,
Speaker 2: the the most immediate answer is definitely Florida.
Speaker 1: See I disagree because Oklahoma's already lost twice, Ocahom's lost fight.
Speaker 1: So whatever our big twelve team is probably stands the
Speaker 1: best chance mathematically mathematically. Okay, Okay, that's that's our game.
Speaker 1: Do you want to play the Alien Invader sound again?
Speaker 2: Let's play? Why not?
Speaker 1: It's free to play this sound? Yeah, it is absolutely is.
Speaker 2: That wigs me out a little bit?
Speaker 1: So you made it, I know, and that's why I
Speaker 1: went with it, because I did wig me out a
Speaker 1: couple things. Ty, if you have watched The Bruine, you
Speaker 1: noticed something very specific and that we were drinking delicious
Speaker 1: cool beers out of a delicious cool Pine class. I'm
Speaker 1: drinking with the solid verbal logo on it. I'm drinking
Speaker 1: my beer right now, my pre Bruenne beer, out of
Speaker 1: my solidverbal Pine class. It's a wonderful device. So we've
Speaker 1: been with Patreon being announced next week, we've been weighing
Speaker 1: what we should be doing with this really nifty box
Speaker 1: of soliverbal Pine classes.
Speaker 2: We now have.
Speaker 1: That's interesting to me.
Speaker 2: It's very interesting. Yeah, they're stacked up somewhere in a warehouse.
Speaker 2: We've got more of them than we know what to
Speaker 2: do with, so we what do we do?
Speaker 1: We've also been doing the Brune and we know some
Speaker 1: people can't. I mean, we're doing it on YouTube dot
Speaker 1: com slash the solid Verbal. We know some people prefer
Speaker 1: audio with their soliverbal content. So you know we're having
Speaker 1: conversations ty with our October fourteenth, next Wednesday Patreon launch.
Speaker 1: So just want to make sure people know about all
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, yeah, Can I ask you a couple
Speaker 1: of questions before we leave? Can I just like PWO
Speaker 1: quick questions please? Okay, we had so many good questions
Speaker 1: come in for this week's bruine. I wanted to get
Speaker 1: a couple of these out of the way. Ryan wants
Speaker 1: to know, are we sure we even want.
Speaker 2: Texas to be back? Like? Ever?
Speaker 1: Do you want Texas to be back? It's not enjoying
Speaker 1: answering the question do you want a really successful Texas team?
Speaker 1: For the for your college football coverage purposes?
Speaker 2: I don't want the cliche of is Texas back to
Speaker 2: ever go away because it gives us. It gives us
Speaker 2: something to talk about every year.
Speaker 1: Why do you disregard BYU?
Speaker 2: Why do we do disregard Bay? Do you? I mean?
Speaker 1: I think we disregard them and the lack of attention
Speaker 1: we give them. I don't disregard them. I think it's
Speaker 1: just difficult to put their early season in perspective about
Speaker 1: what it means, because there is something about an independent team.
Speaker 1: And you can say this now as a Notre Dame fan,
Speaker 1: you know, longtime fan of the ACC, Ty hilden Brand,
Speaker 1: that's Conference of Champions. According to you, an independent team
Speaker 1: is less interesting to me because I know Notre Dame
Speaker 1: has these natural rivalries that they play every year or
Speaker 1: try to play as often as possibly of USC and
Speaker 1: Michigan and whoever they've sort of built stuff up with
Speaker 1: in the ACC, so that at least has that at
Speaker 1: least is something Notre Dame has going for it. But
Speaker 1: BYU playing this very pop up schedule that doesn't include
Speaker 1: Power five opponents, I just the zazz factor isn't fully
Speaker 1: there yet. I've been super impressed by what they've been
Speaker 1: doing so far. Zach Wilson has been a crazy fun watch.
Speaker 1: I think that's why you disregard them. I want year
Speaker 1: and year out rivalries. That's what I need, other than
Speaker 1: the Holy War.
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson's been really good and the offense as a
Speaker 2: whole has been outstanding. Yeah, you know, we'll we'll get
Speaker 2: a chance to see them at Boise State, I think
Speaker 2: first week of November something like that. You know, that's
Speaker 2: that's the biggest game on the schedule by far. And
Speaker 2: there's a game against Houston too in a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks actually, where we'll yeah, hopefully where we'll get a
Speaker 2: better sense for what BYU is all about. But no,
Speaker 2: you know, if it comes across as district guarding them,
Speaker 2: I don't think that's intentional. I have no ill will
Speaker 2: towards BYU.
Speaker 1: I'll stick with that theme. Do you have a team
Speaker 1: in the American UCF has won it a couple of
Speaker 1: times in the last three years, and Memphis obviously when
Speaker 1: it last year setting up their matchup against Penn State.
Speaker 1: Is there an American team be it Navy, Temple, Houston, SMU, Cincinnati.
Speaker 1: Is there an American team where you're like, okay, they're
Speaker 1: the usurper and.
Speaker 2: Well, Cincinnati has been my they're my boys, right, Like
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if you want to
Speaker 2: ride with Okay, I'm all in on Cincinnati this year. Okay,
Speaker 2: my hunch is that you're gonna be all in on
Speaker 2: SMU because you love you have this weird thing with SMU.
Speaker 2: But oh, Ty, I'm all in on Cincinnati. Give me
Speaker 2: that that defense and Desmond ridder D and d are
Speaker 2: you sure you want to ride at that offense? You sure?
Speaker 2: Give you a chance. I'm giving you a chance. Of defense
Speaker 2: is very good, it's very good defense.
Speaker 1: SMU has taken impressive forward step forward on defense this year.
Speaker 1: We'll see how much it holds up. Their opponents have
Speaker 1: not been amazing. Memphis has struggled. Then it's Stephen F.
Speaker 1: Austin North Texas, Texas State. But at Tulane Cincinnati's offense,
Speaker 1: Navy has looked pretty dreadful, dreadful, Temple, Tulsa, Houston, ECU.
Speaker 1: Is anybody running rough shot over anybody offensively from that
Speaker 1: list of teams?
Speaker 2: Not quite sure? Not no tie.
Speaker 1: I'm rolling with the D.
Speaker 2: I' rolling with the D. I'm rolling with SMU. Sure, Shane,
Speaker 2: all right, So plans for the weekend? Anything special?
Speaker 1: I'm watching football games. I'm making another Detroit Pie Friday night,
Speaker 1: having some company over and eat some some outside Detroit pie.
Speaker 1: I don't think we got a lot of work, like Ty.
Speaker 1: I'm working every day on Soliverbal's that's my stuff.
Speaker 2: That's my thing.
Speaker 1: I've got like four more hours of work tonight with
Speaker 1: video stuff and all sorts of administrative stuff and design stuff.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't be happier about it. So that's the plan,
Speaker 1: Just grind and tie.
Speaker 2: I am really excited for this Patreon thing that we
Speaker 2: got coming up. It's gonna be so fun. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: really excited. It's going to give us a chance to
Speaker 2: do some new stuff, things that we've wanted to do
Speaker 2: for a long time. And there's the lawnmower. The lawnmower
Speaker 2: work every Thursday at five point thirty Eastern. Yep, all right,
Speaker 2: it's all I have. Tie.
Speaker 1: Patreon is just it's that's the true zaz of this
Speaker 1: season for us.
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. If you're listening, we wish you
Speaker 2: well this weekend, enjoy the games tomorrow. If you're listening
Speaker 2: on a Friday or today, if you're listening on a
Speaker 2: Saturday morning, four to oh eight, Verbal one is a
