10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: Normally I start out these shows with song lyrics that

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: I try to make sound like actual conversation, and I

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: just haven't listened to popular music really hit all lately.

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,360

Speaker 1: we really don't have time to make sense of things.

50
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, a huge game happens where it Auburn beats

51
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: LSU or just like, yeah, Auburn one because they ran

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: the ball and they're able to turn the ball over

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: a couple of times in key spots, and then we

54
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: don't think about, well where's Auburn and the sec Now

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: what does this mean for LSU season? So we have segments,

Speaker 2: or on Friday, or on Sunday or on Monday. Got

74
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: a full like five days slate of college football action

75
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: this week? Call in, let us know what's on your

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: mind as you're watching the games. We will mix all

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 2: of those up and cram them together into a little

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: segment we call the Reverbs. We like to give back

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: to the verbaler community.

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: Do we give back as much as we sort of

81
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: let people release their pain and vent in our own way,

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: that is giving back.

83
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: Well, we get something out of it. It's one of

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: our most popular segments. People tune in specifically to hear

85
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the reverbs. But at the same time, I like to

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: think that we're providing a service as well.

87
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: Coast to coast emotion and beyond. With that being said, Dan,

88
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: are you Are you ready, Ty, I haven't played this

89
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: track in so long, holding up my phone to the

90
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: microphone and it just it feels right. You hear that? Yeah, buddy,

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: it's been a long off season time. We have finally

92
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: made it here.

93
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: We are through the doldrums of summer college football. I

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 2: guess officially kicked off last week. But this is the

95
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: real thing. It's the first full college football Saturday and

96
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: first full slight. It's week one, That's what it is.

97
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: It's the baseline of the season for sure.

98
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: What will be your watch situation now that you're a

99
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: fo still figuring it out? These past couple of years

100
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: had two screens going. Richard Johnson, our pal would come

101
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: over and watch. I think I believe he's still coming

102
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: over and watching. We have a sort of community room

103
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: in our apartment building that has a giant screen. I

104
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: don't know if we're gonna be able to do two screens,

105
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna have to figure out if it's a

106
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: laptop and TV situation. I don't know. It's still under development, Ty,

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: that to me is going to be the situation moving forward.

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: I believe my plan is to make Korean Ish fried rice. Okay,

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: that's my plan most importantly, And you are going to

110
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: tell me when I should be taking a coffee nap.

111
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: I assume yes, my world opportunity for coffee apps. Sorry,

112
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I can come up with that as well, But that's

113
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: the general watch situation, and then parenting, parenting the thing

114
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: is also part of that situation as well. What is

115
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: what is your setup?

116
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: I have not figured that out yet either, but we'll

117
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: probably be visiting some family during week one finding a way.

118
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this is what real people do, Dan, this

119
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 1: is what real people podcasting for thousands of people. They

120
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: want to know your opinion, got to visit some family.

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: Families come here to have Joe pollute.

122
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: If I lose that edge, that edge of being frantic

123
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: trying to watch college football games on a Saturday, I

124
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: in effect stop being the host of the solid verbal

125
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: So where are you gonna be? Probably be up at

126
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: mom ages for some I'll be back here at the homestead.

127
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 2: I'll be tending to puppy, the solid puppy. Excuse me

128
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: at some point, what's your away window? I'm not saying

129
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: what everybody should be, but what is your away window

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: looking like? Well, we're going to get into that because

131
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 2: I'm going to align my away window with our window

132
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: of opportunity. Smart Okay, if you are ready, shall we

133
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: just dive in?

134
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: Do it? Oh, it's like a good neck crack. That

135
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: sound that you just made may keep me up at night.

136
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: That was an authentic, primal grown of some sort. Yeah,

137
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: it was something.

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: Before we get to the games, you do something called

139
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: the window of opportunity. Window of opportunity is if you're

140
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: like me, if you've got to go out and visit family,

141
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: if if you've got a soccer practice or game or

142
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: some sort of family function to attend, if you're trying

143
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 2: to figure out how can I work my.

144
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Schedule with the college football schedule? I fear not.

145
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: That's where the window of opportunity comes into play. Now

146
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: we're recording this on a Wednesday evening. It's going to

147
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: go up very early on Thursday, Eastern time, before a commute,

148
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 2: So it's a little premature to start planning windows of

149
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: opportunity excuse me on a Thursday and Friday, because we

150
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: really need to hone in on Saturday, that's when most

151
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: of the action is. Thankfully, I feel like they've made

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: this relatively easy for us. In week one, walk me

153
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: through it. Your window of opportunity, I think is any

154
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: time before three thirty Eastern time, three thirty Eastern time

155
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 2: four o'clock at the absolute latest. I just feel like

156
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: there's a narrower window of opportunity in week one, because

157
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: it's new, it's novel. You want to be home to

158
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: see as much as the action as you can, and

159
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: the games that I think are gonna matter most here

160
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: don't start until a little bit later on in the

161
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: afternoon Eastern time. If you're on the West coast, it's

162
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: looking like an early morning. Quite honestly, it's looking like

163
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: an early morning. Get your stuff out of the way

164
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 2: before around noon one o'clock and then you'll be fine.

165
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 2: But just be in front of a TV at some

166
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: point mid to late afternoon, and I think you'll be

167
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: in good shape.

168
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: May I offer a counterpoint, please, there's something incredibly special

169
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: about those noon kickoffs and opening like that first Saturday,

170
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: This first Saturday of the season, where there's games on

171
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: Fox and Fox Wards one and ESPN, ESPN two, ESPNU

172
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: and if you have ESPN Plus or the Fox Sports

173
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: app wherever they're showing games, it's the first time you

174
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: can really soaking options. I get that that's the window

175
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: of the least interesting games with the least stakes, and

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: there's fun games Thursday night Friday night. We'll get into

177
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: that later, but that's a rough ask to tell people

178
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: this is when you should avoid games. I think it's

179
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: actually more than three thirty four o'clock window Eastern time. Okay.

180
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that there is going to be that

181
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: much to Duke Alabama for very long. I don't think

182
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: there's gonna I mean, Northwestern Stanford is interesting. I don't

183
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: think it's electric, you know. I think if you're gonna

184
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: pick your spots to have a borderline top twenty five

185
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: team in an unranked team, I don't know if this

186
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: is the week at night when we get Georgia Vandy,

187
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: I think that's interesting.

188
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: All right, So how about this? How about how about

189
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: we come to a compromise. Yeah, I'll extend the olive

190
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: branch to you here in week one, let's split the difference. Okay,

191
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: I was saying three, three thirty four. It seems like

192
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: you're saying more seven. Why don't we tell everyone to

193
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: be home by six?

194
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Oh? Be home by six? Yeah?

195
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 2: I catch the end of those, Yes, catch the end

196
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 2: of the three thirty games and be fed and in

197
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: front of a TV in time for the Nightcaps.

198
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 1: Correct. I think that's right. Enjoy those nooners early, get

199
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: something good to eat, get a great are you? Is

200
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: it called a hero? Is it a hogy? What is it?

201
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: It's a hot NPA, It's a hogy. Okay, it's a

202
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: sub on the West Coast. I see a lot of

203
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: hero in New York, so, uh, you know, do something big.

204
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Make sure you don't starve, make sure you hydrate. Tie yep.

205
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: Always important to be big. If you're in front of

206
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: the TV for a long swell of time, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

207
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I think that's the window. You're right.

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 2: Saturday, three thirty pm Eastern Time, the Duke Blue Devils

209
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: squaring off against the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Chick

210
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: fil A Kickoff game, which they are playing in Mercedes

211
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Oh, the Crimson Tide a

212
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: thirty five point favorite. Most importantly, Dan, are you aware

213
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 2: of the ongoing Twitter feud between Chick fil A and Popeyes?

214
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: Have you seen this? Do we really want to go

215
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: on tangents before we start previewing our first game? Because

216
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: I have thoughts. I know you have.

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: I just I feel like the Twitter beef no pun

218
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 2: intended may have been a little bit more exciting, will

219
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: be more exciting than this actual football game.

220
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: So I have not had the Popeyes chicken sandwich. I

221
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: know everybody's going crazy over it, and I think they're

222
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: sold out now, which isn't a great sign. But you know,

223
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: it's a Brazilian company just trying to get its footing.

224
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: So I'm rooting for him. I am. I'm fine with

225
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: either one of these sandwiches. I've had Popeyes and I

226
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: like it. Chick fil A is good. I don't know

227
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: have you had the Popeyes.

228
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: I've never had Popeyes ever ever, No, do you have

229
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: one anywhere near you? There is one actually within about

230
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes of me. Yeah, all right, I think we

231
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: should try it. All right, Well, maybe that'll be a

232
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: game day trip. Yeah, I'll compare the two. As for

233
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: the actual football game, news came out of Alabama that

234
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: Dylan Moses, five star linebacker sucks I think was prime

235
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: for a pretty big year tour is acl He is

236
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: now out for the season, a huge blow to that

237
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: Alabama linebacking corps. Of course, they've got depth and they've

238
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: got talent all across the board. But you hate to

239
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: see this with a guy of Dylan Moses's stature. Yeah this,

240
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 2: I mean, you see the history of what Alabama is

241
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: at inside linebacker, and it's all American, after all American,

242
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: and Dylan Moses poised to be that next guy and

243
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: with a not new but there are new pieces. I

244
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: know they're starting a new nose tackle DJ Dale or

245
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: hopefully Dale if you know. The pit ballization of Alabama

246
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: football is complete. But I really feel pretty awful because

247
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 2: in terms of linebackers across the country, he's, you know,

248
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: at the top in that top tier list. So secondary

249
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: should be good. The line should still be fine. They've

250
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: recruited well. But man, to have that happen, what three

251
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: days before the season, four days before the season, that's

252
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: a terrible break. The question here is not whether Alabama

253
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: is gonna win. Bama is going to win for me.

254
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 2: The question is whether Duke's going to score. Remember new

255
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 2: quarterback for the Blue Devils for the first time in

256
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 2: a couple of years, now that Daniel Jones is off

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: to the NFL, it's gonna be on Quentin Harris, who

258
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: waited his turn behind Jones patiently. It does not help

259
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: him that his wide receiving corps is basically brand new

260
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: as well. I'm not I'm not confident that Duke's going

261
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: to be able to move the football. So for me,

262
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 2: as I look at this, it's a given Alabama wins.

263
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: I think it's like thirty eight to three, somewhere in

264
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: that range right on that number, that thirty five number.

265
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: What I'm going to watch for in this game is

266
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 2: other stuff, not necessarily the final tally, but how does

267
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: Duke's secondary fare against a really good and loaded Bama

268
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: wide receiving corps. That might be a tell for later

269
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: on in the year and some of Duke's upcoming games,

270
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: how they're going to fare against that competition. And then,

271
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: I guess, on a bigger, more macro level, I'm very

272
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: curious to say, see how the Alabama offense looks under

273
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: Steve Sarkisian. I don't know how much they'll give away.

274
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: Who knows how much we'll see Tua in this game

275
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: if it gets out of hand. But Steve Sarkisian's the

276
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: name that we've brought up here in the build up

277
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: to the season. How will that look now as they

278
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: move away from what they had and now towards a

279
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: sark run.

280
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: System, Sark factor. I don't know if you have the

281
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: a current affair sound. If there is a sark factor,

282
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to establish that sound as what gets attached. Yeah,

283
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: you're right. Naje Harris suspended for the first half, as

284
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: is his backup Brian Robinson. So if you're that type

285
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: of live better, half better whatever, that could be interesting,

286
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: you're dead on about Duke. I'm going to take the

287
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: points here and I'm going to explain quite simply why

288
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: I have a theory that I have not backed up

289
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: with data or research or anything. That's the best a couple,

290
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: that is the best feelings over fact. I love them.

291
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: Feelings over facts, That's my thing. I don't believe Nick

292
00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: Saban likes embarrassing coaches. He respects lot those old standbys. Yep.

293
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: And David Cutcliffe has been around Tennessee Ole Miss He's

294
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: been a Duke forever. He's just a mainstay, super likable

295
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: guy in coaching circles. And at thirty five thirty four

296
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: and a half points, I'm just gonna take them. I'm

297
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: just gonna say I think it's going to be forty

298
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: one to thirteen something like that, and it's going to

299
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: be forty one to six late and Sabin puts in

300
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: all long snappers across the offense something crazy as to

301
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: not run up the score. So I'm gonna do the

302
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: Sabin non embarrassment packed here and take take those points

303
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: a softer Nick Saban is what I think. I'm here.

304
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's happened, It has happened before, all right. I

305
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: don't disagree with that premise. Actually, it's quite smart. Beating

306
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: Duke by fifty is not a statement. No, there are

307
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: certain statement games that he is happy to do it.

308
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: I think they'll be fine. Moving on Saturday, three thirty

309
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: North Carolina, South Carolina.

310
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: It's the Belt Kickoff.

311
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: They play it Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

312
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 2: This point spread when I made the document that we

313
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: share and look at. It started out at about eight

314
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: and a half in favor of South Carolina. Then last night,

315
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: late last night, when I went in to do some studying,

316
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: it jumped up to ten and a half. So there's

317
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: definitely some steam on South Carolina here. As you know,

318
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 2: I did the preview for both of these teams a

319
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: few weeks ago when we recorded our shows, and I

320
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: feel like I have a pretty good sense for where

321
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: they're at.

322
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: I really like South Carolina.

323
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 2: I just I have trouble letting myself like them too

324
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: much because, for one, they caught a really bad case

325
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 2: of the turnover bug last season, and I'm just I'm

326
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: not convinced that they can fully kick it. And then

327
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: beyond that, the schedule's brutal. The schedule is absolutely gangbusters

328
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: in the SEC East, and it's a better division than

329
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: it was a year ago. The SEC is always tough.

330
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: I just I have trouble getting too optimistic again. Macro

331
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: level about South.

332
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: Carolina, Okay, so what are you doing?

333
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: I am gonna go South Carolina here, okay? And the

334
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 2: old ethis yeah, I North Carolina.

335
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about that. Blood, give me the game. North

336
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Carolina hired Mac Brown.

337
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, we love Mac Brown Old Dog new Tricks, especially

338
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: those of us rooting for specifically old Dog and new tricks.

339
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.

340
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 2: The thing is, and I'm going through this right now

341
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: with my puppy. It could take a long time for

342
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: a dog.

343
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: To learn new tricks. That's true.

344
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 2: There's a lot of patience required, and we simply do

345
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: not know enough about North Carolina at this point to

346
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: pick them to cover on the road, especially with the

347
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: brand new quarterback and Sam Howe, who may have a

348
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: little bit of a back of Bayfield in them, we

349
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: don't know, but it might not show right away. So

350
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: too many variables here. We just don't know enough about

351
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 2: North Carolina. I think to gauge where they come down

352
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: in this one. South Carolina's got a good offensive line.

353
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: They're gonna feed Rico Dubdle the ball. He's gonna have

354
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: a big game. They're gonna win thirty three to twenty.

355
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: Thirty three to twenty. Okay, so they win by a

356
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: couple touchdowns. Ish, I'm gonna take the points. And I

357
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: was thinking about this, what it means for North Carolina

358
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: to keep it single digits. And so I have three

359
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: DS levels for Sam Howell, not dse, totally dece hey

360
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: more than deese, as indecent, sure, and two of those

361
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: three outcomes are good enough. Right. If he's totally decent,

362
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: not great, not crazy, doesn't have any Baker Mayfield in him.

363
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: But if he's totally dece North Carolina can keep it close.

364
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,919
Speaker 1: The good news is however much you want to look

365
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: into it. With everything that they lost and everything everybody

366
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: that comes back. North Carolina didn't lose by more than

367
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: ten last year after the Miami game, which was a

368
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: short week road Thursday night game. And I'm a big

369
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: fan of when teams are losing and still fighting. We've

370
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: talked about this in the preview part of the summer

371
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 1: that that's something that I think pour ten's good things.

372
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: And so I don't think North Carolina wins this game,

373
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: but I think they're good enough at enough places that

374
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: they stay competitive. And I like the running backs, and

375
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: I don't love South Carolina's rush defense. I think it'll

376
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 1: be improved, but it's not a strength coming into this game.

377
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take those points. And South Carolina traditionally

378
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: these past couple of years anyway, traditionally they've won early,

379
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 1: but ugly there's won that opening weekend game. But it's

380
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: thirteen ten, it's fourteen nine, whatever, So I'm going to

381
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: take the pseudo home state team, it is the home

382
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: state team North Carolina, to keep it closer than ten. Okay,

383
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: we disagree, we disagree.

384
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: Moving on Saturday, four pm, We've got Northwestern on the

385
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: road at Stanford. Stanford is a six and a half

386
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 2: point home favorite. Does this game have a name? Do

387
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 2: we have like an official name for this game? Well,

388
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:05,360
Speaker 2: there's the Northwestern and Stanford and Duke and Vanderbilt. They

389
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: seem to all have this weird round robin ee scheduling situation.

390
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: So I don't think so. But I was like there

391
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 2: to be one. So I was in something in high

392
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: school and I don't know if you guys had it

393
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: over there, scholastic scrimmage.

394
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Have you heard of this scholastic scrimmage?

395
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 2: Now?

396
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: I know that there's the Journalism Bowl the Northwestern Syracuse.

397
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what they call it, but I know

398
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: that there's an academically minded bowl game. There no scholastic scrimmage.

399
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: Is that scholastic scrimmage? It was a trivia contest. I

400
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: joined it. It was an actual club in high school

401
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: that joined it. Academic to cathlon, I don't know. No,

402
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: it wasn't anything like that. It was It was quite

403
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: literally a trivia game. You would take a buzzer with you.

404
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: You'd take your own buzzer with you to various meats.

405
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: It was a full on thing. You would travel on

406
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: the bus to competitions. There was a varsity and a

407
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: JV squad, like an actual high school sport.

408
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: Is this whole thing? And I joined it with a

409
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 2: bunch of my friends. Yeah, and we virtually never made

410
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: the varsity squad except for one glorious match. And did

411
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 2: you know in that match they did not ask a

412
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: single sports question and we got toasted?

413
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: Toasted, So JV trivia high school athletes, Tye hilden Brand,

414
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: I am who I am? So like? How many people

415
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: asked you to prom that you had to turn down?

416
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: Just dozens of We're trying to keep a concise podcast here.

417
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 2: I don't run too long, all right, I'm gonna take

418
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 2: the points in this game, as am I, that as

419
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: am I. There is something about this game that whoever

420
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: wins this game might have a weird rough season. Whoever

421
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: loses this game, it's probably the worst of it, and

422
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna bounce back in a really impressive way. I

423
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 2: don't love Stanford's home field advantage. I like it even less.

424
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 2: And this is the deep research I do. Stanford's on

425
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 2: the quarter system tie, which means they can they can

426
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: use all the rowdiness they can get. Students, aren't there yet, OK,

427
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,159
Speaker 2: undergrads are not going to be in that stadium the

428
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: way they will later on in the season. I still

429
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: think Stanford wins by a field goal. It has low scoring,

430
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: it has ugly written all over it. Northwestern actually pretty

431
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: good away from Evanston. They only really lost to you know,

432
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: lost by double digits or seven plus points when they

433
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 2: were playing high, high end talent Notre Dame, Ohio state

434
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 2: schools like that away from home. So yeah, I think

435
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 2: Northwestern keeps this a lot closer. Stanford is far from

436
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: a complete team, so I have Stanford twenty three to twenty. Wow.

437
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: We are very very like minded on this one. I

438
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 2: also have the words low scoring and ugly written down

439
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: on my crib sheet.

440
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: Hear it against strength, Yeah.

441
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: I would not want to give away the points here,

442
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 2: So I'm with you Northwestern plus six and a half.

443
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 2: Both teams feel like an unknown to me on offense,

444
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 2: and this early on you can see both coaches calling

445
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: it super conservatively, you.

446
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: Think, so, I think Stanford's pretty known.

447
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 2: They're known, but they lose a lot. They lose a lot,

448
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: and a lot is on kJ Castelle. She doesn't have

449
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 2: Bryce Love to hand it off to anymore.

450
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: No, it's totally true.

451
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 2: We'll get our first look at Hunter Johnson, the former

452
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 2: five star and Clemson transfer for Northwestern. If he can

453
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: play at a high level, that would take the Wildcats

454
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: to a new level.

455
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, this early on, I'm with you.

456
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 2: I say, twenty one seventeen, somebody wins and it could

457
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: be Northwestern, but I just don't know.

458
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Stanford has also, I mean Northwestern uneven last year,

459
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: losing to Duke and Acron early, Stanford uneven a couple

460
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: of years ago losing the San Diego State, which a

461
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: couple of years ago was not a horrible loss. But yes,

462
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: they both have histories of looking stale early. So yeah,

463
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 1: it's a week week one thing where nobody's really looking

464
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: like No matter the games we're talking about, nobody's looking

465
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: fully like themselves. Not even close.

466
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: Saturday, seven pm. A bigin this is Boise State versus

467
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: Florida State. They played this one in Jacksonville. Florida State

468
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 2: is a five point favorite. Dan, Where do you come

469
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 2: down this one?

470
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: Quite excited for this, Quite excited to see what Florida

471
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: State looks like under Kendall Briles and James B. James

472
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: Blackman just named starting quarterback, which was somewhat expected, and

473
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: if he can look anything better than rough, which is

474
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: what he was the last time we saw him consistently

475
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,959
Speaker 1: starting for Florida State a couple of years ago. So

476
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take I'm gonna take Boise State here. I'm

477
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why I don't love the Broncos. I

478
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: don't love what they're replacing. But the fact is, with

479
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: a brand new looking offense going into the strength of

480
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: Boise's squad, which is their defense, I think, you know,

481
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: the Bronco defense is the best thing in this game.

482
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: It keeps them in this game and close. So I

483
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: have them winning ugly in Jacksonville. Traveling across the country,

484
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: I'm not talking traditionally like they were good traveling, you know,

485
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: to Georgia, Virginia Tech. I don't know, like Kermit the

486
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Frog is saying that they were good last year. I

487
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: mean early on until they went to Stillwater, but they

488
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: were against Troy traveling, and I think Florida State this

489
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: year doesn't match up super well with Boise So I'm

490
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: going to take the Broncos, even with new look offenses

491
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: for both teams, because I just can bank on the

492
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: Bronco defense and I feel so good about it. Ty

493
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: lock it up. Block of the week, first one of

494
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: the year. A yeah, yeah, it's a good defense right

495
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: now to face week one for Boise State in Florida

496
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: State's defense, just because of the questions in the back end,

497
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: like that you're picking a marquee game as your luck.

498
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: I don't shy away, tie. I just like that. That's

499
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: not who I am. I like the Kahones here.

500
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: I like Boise a lot, and I hope that came

501
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: across in the group of five previous show that we did.

502
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: It just feels like a lot to ask of a

503
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 2: true freshman quarterback traveling across the country, playing a big

504
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: neutral cider in a historic venue like Tiaa bank Field

505
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: where they call it.

506
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: Ville.

507
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 2: I almost got it out. I think Florida State can

508
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,360
Speaker 2: wear Boise down. Boise's front, Boise's defense is very good,

509
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: but Boise's front isn't super deep.

510
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: The wreckon crew that is Florida.

511
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 2: State's well, it's contingent on Florida State's line getting any

512
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 2: kind of push up front. I'll give you that, which

513
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: we should not take for granted based on what we've

514
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 2: seen over the last couple of years. But I think

515
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 2: this is a really good opportunity for the line to

516
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 2: establish itself, to get some push for cam Akers to

517
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 2: get off to a good start on the ground. I

518
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: still don't fully trust James Blackman, even though everyone seems

519
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 2: to like him a lot more than I do. I

520
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 2: cannot get past the fact that this is virtually a

521
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 2: home game for Florida State and that they should win

522
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: this football game. It is imperative that they win this

523
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: football game. If they don't, who knows what happens in

524
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: their first five games.

525
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Brief history of Willie Taggart at Florida State virtual or

526
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: actual home game to open up the season. What are

527
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: we talking about here? What do we favorite touchdown? Favorite win?

528
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: What's they lost twenty four to three last year in

529
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: Tallahassee to open the season. I am not taking anything

530
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: for granted. Virtually. I think it's close.

531
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 2: I'm taking Boise with the points with Florida State outright.

532
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: Twenty four to twenty two, A close one, a good

533
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 2: one on Saturday night.

534
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really bummed out if Kendall Briles can't

535
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: find a way for James Blackman to get the ball

536
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: to to Mary and Terry. That's the big thing for me.

537
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: If that's that's operating, Florida State is shooting up in

538
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: my mind. I'm very excited for an FSU team that

539
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: can get the ball to playmakers no matter how their

540
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: line looks. And if you're drinking during this game, finish

541
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: your beer.

542
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: If they decide that they're gonna split Alex Hornybrook out

543
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: wide just to get him in the game, guess moving Hornie.

544
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 2: Moving on another bigin Look at this one. Yeah, Saturday night,

545
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 2: seven thirty. We've got a game here. We've got Auburn

546
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: a three and a half point favorite against DRBC. This

547
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: one's in Texas. How do you feel about this game?

548
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: DRBC? Excuse me? The defending Red Box Bowl champions Thank

549
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: you very much. Thank you. I'm still waiting for my hat, Ti,

550
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for my hat. You have a Georgia

551
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: Tech Orange Bowl champions hat, you have a Pin Stripe

552
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: Bowl champions hat, and you couldn't do me the honor

553
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: of wearing a Red Box Bowl Championship hat. I mean

554
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: thought we were friends.

555
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 2: Defending Red Box Bowl champion Oregon, Yes, squaring off against

556
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 2: Auburn in Arlington, Auburn again a three and a half

557
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: point favorite.

558
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Here, who you got. I'm gonna take the Ducks. I'm

559
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: gonna take the points, okay. And I am going to

560
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: try my very best to separate my feelings about how

561
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: Oregon looked on the road last year Arizona, Utah, Wazoo

562
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: and just how inep they look early on in those

563
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: games and just let those games get out of control.

564
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: I am hopeful that it is going to be a

565
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: different story this year, that they have patched up what

566
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: ailed Oregon, especially on offense and communication last year. So

567
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: it's a good matchup for Oregon in that their absolute strength,

568
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: which is their offensive line, matches up against Auburn's absolute strength,

569
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: which is their defensive line that at least Oregon has

570
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: appears to have an answer for what Auburn does, maybe

571
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: better than any team in the SEC right now, which

572
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: is just collapse offensive lines. It is a true freshman

573
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: quarterback starting for Auburn. I anticipate Oregon's defense to be

574
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: better than it was last year early on. This includes

575
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: against Auburn, and Oregon has a very good quarterback. I

576
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: don't have him in the absolute top tier of college

577
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: quarterbacks yet. I think his ceiling is there, so they

578
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: have Oregon has the quarterback advantage, they have the experience

579
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: advantage to me on both sides, a lot of upperclassmen

580
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: playing this game. For the Ducks, I don't know where

581
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: the explosion plays come from. For Oregon. They're beat up

582
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: at receiver. Their running backs are fine, but not incredible,

583
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: not like Oregon running backs of years past. Yes, and

584
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: I do think that new look Oregon defense will be

585
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: an advantage for the Ducks. So I'm going to take

586
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: those points at some point, you know, I'm an at

587
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,239
Speaker 1: some point guy. At some point, the back twelve has

588
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: to win one of these games. So I'm going with

589
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: this here in Oregon with the combination of having the

590
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: quarterback and having the experience.

591
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 2: So I like both these teams a lot. Yeah, here's

592
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: what I'm having trouble trying to compute. The only thing

593
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure of with Auburn is its defensive line.

594
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 1: And may mean there's a lot of experience in the secondary.

595
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 2: And it's pairing of safeties at the back end of

596
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: the defense. And I think there's reason to believe in

597
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: some of the other units. I'm just not there yet, Like,

598
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: for example, the offensive line.

599
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: Sure, there's a lot back up front. Is that a

600
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: good thing? I don't know. They're kind of rough inside

601
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: sometimes last year. Yeah, I don't know if that's a

602
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: good thing.

603
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: I think the best player in the field is Justin Herbert,

604
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: and I am higher on Oregon than I ever care

605
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: to admit to you. I feel better about the pieces

606
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: they're bringing back then the pieces Auburn is bringing back.

607
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: Oregon wins this one outright, thirty one to twenty three.

608
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: Big win for the Pac twelve on opening night.

609
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: Oregon's number one receiver maybe Juwan Johnson in this game.

610
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: That's a problem, I hope. I mean physically, I mean,

611
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: this is the thing. His potential is through the roof.

612
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: If he's figured out his drops, it's a good thing.

613
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: Over under one and a half drops in this game

614
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: under but there's gonna be a drop. I think there's

615
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a drop.

616
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

617
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,479
Speaker 1: I think the receivers. They're beat up at receiver. Oregon

618
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: is with Micah Pittman, the freshman who came in and

619
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: looked to be shooting up the depth charts, and Brendan

620
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: Schooler who started the past couple of years. He's out

621
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: until week seven eight nine somewhere in there, so they're

622
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: definitely pretty thin at receiver. I don't have a ton

623
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: of faith at Oregon getting super creative, but I think

624
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: they do enough with the quarterback advantage. And I'm actually

625
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: quite excited to see what Auburn's offense looks like even

626
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: though they're playing Oregon, because of the Bonnicks Gus recalling plays.

627
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm excited to hopefully see the magic back on the planes.

628
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: I remember back in twenty twelve when we went to

629
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 2: the National Championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama, and

630
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: we were there for a couple days. We came in,

631
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: everyone was unanimous in their support for Alabama winning the game.

632
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: Everyone thought that the cripsotide was going to run away

633
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 2: with it. But then the longer you're there, the more

634
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 2: you talk about, people kind of talk themselves into the

635
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: other team, Notre Dame in this case, And that's sort

636
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: of how I felt with Oregon Auburn here. Truly, I

637
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 2: came into the week here, let's say, strongly favoring Auburn,

638
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: and the more I read into Oregon, the more I

639
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 2: thought about the game, the more I started to like them.

640
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 2: So I don't know if that's a good thing or

641
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: a bad thing for the Ducks. But the defending Red

642
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: Box Bowl champions have a big one in front of

643
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 2: them on Saturday evening.

644
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 1: Yes they do, and we're still talking about a Red

645
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Box Ball where they held down. Don't look up the

646
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: team and what their statistics were. She was six points

647
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: to six points. So yeah, this will be fun. I

648
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: will be I will be ready to roll. I'm excited

649
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: for this.

650
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: Then we moved to Sunday at seven point thirty HM

651
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 2: Houston versus Oklahoma, interesting non conference matchup. Sooners are twenty

652
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: three point favorite. We just did the quick and dirty

653
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: Houston preview earlier this week. I think we both have

654
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 2: an infatuation with Deeric King.

655
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: Obviously, how can you not one of.

656
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: The most exciting group of five players, one of the

657
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 2: most exciting college football players. If we're being honest, he's back,

658
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: he's healthy. It should be a lot of fun. The

659
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: problem is that Houston's way overmatch year Dan. They are

660
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 2: way overmatched. They do not have the defense to run

661
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 2: with Oklahoma for four quarters. I guess my dilemma here

662
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: is I know there's gonna be a lot of points

663
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 2: and that this is gonna border on a shootout, and

664
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: my general rule is that I take the points in

665
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 2: the shootout. I'm just really hesitant here because I know

666
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 2: Oklahoma is so much better.

667
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so the firepower from Oklahoma is not what Derek

668
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: King is going to see, right, No, he's singing the

669
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma defense, new look defense, hopefully a little bit more

670
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: unpredictable ghosts in the second level, something like that. I'm

671
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: with you. I think Oklahoma wins this game, and it's

672
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: the I think it's the first of the games we're

673
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 1: previewing in which I'm actually going to give the points.

674
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: I took Oregon, I took Boise, I took Northwestern North

675
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: Carolina and Duke, so I'm going to give the points here.

676
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a fun start that

677
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: ultimately is not so fun for Houston over the course

678
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: of a full game. I think Oklahoma, you know, early

679
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 1: in the third quarter, maybe generate a turnover and all

680
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a four point lead becomes eleven, becomes eighteen,

681
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 1: and you know, by the end of everything, it's fifty

682
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: eight to twenty four. OHU. So that's where I have

683
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: this game ending up. But close at the half.

684
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: We are separated by only two digits. You have fifty

685
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 2: eight twenty four. I have fifty four to twenty eight.

686
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: Fifty four to twenty eight. Okay, and Jalen hurts in

687
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: this offense should be a nice defense to get Week

688
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: one under the lights. All the attention on this game,

689
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that it's really competing against anything significant.

690
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: So who knows? Derek King's a gamer.

691
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 2: We agreed, let's move to Monday, Dan, Are you ready

692
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: for some football?

693
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: No? I think I'm good for the week now. At

694
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 1: this point, it's been Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and you

695
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: know it's on to week two. You know, we gotta

696
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: get ready for that Monday show. We're doing Labor Day,

697
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: going to try to take a couple hours off in

698
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: grill so tapped out, tapped out.

699
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: Well, there's a big one for some of us on

700
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: Monday night, Dan, Monday at eight pm, Notre Dame at Loville,

701
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: Notre Dame of twenty and a half point road favorite. Hm.

702
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 2: I look, just play these games on Saturdays, will you

703
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: at the Papa play them on Saturdays?

704
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: Please? Because we don't want to get our schedule mixed

705
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: up here. The first week of the year. They always

706
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: do this thing with the Monday game and the Sunday game.

707
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: Just play on Saturdays. Yeah, and this is not an

708
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: NBC game, right because Notre Dame's on the road, that

709
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: is correct. So we will never know what Doug Flutie

710
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: feels about manifest Oh you'll know soon enough. Brother.

711
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 2: Don't worry, No, you worry Week two or three, there's

712
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 2: a promo. I know exactly what kind of game this

713
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 2: is gonna be.

714
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: Hm.

715
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: I have seen this time and again. This is the

716
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,840
Speaker 2: game where you turn it on and you see a

717
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 2: rock and Cardinal Stadium and oh, snap, there's an upset

718
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: bruin tonight.

719
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 1: Oh it's not the pop anymore.

720
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: Right, they had to change it away if he was excommunicated.

721
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: It's just Cardinal Stadium. Yeah. And then mom Age calls

722
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: me and she's nervous. What do you think? Maybe there's

723
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: an early turnover? What do you think? Ty?

724
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: What do you think? Then Uncle Joe calls, what the

725
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 2: hell's going on here? This one has your attention for

726
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: at least a quarter and a half. It's that kind

727
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: of start to a big game. I think Louisville's defense

728
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 2: will be a lot better this season. I don't see

729
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: how it could be much worse. I think they can

730
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 2: hang with Notre Dame for a while, but remember this

731
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: is a Notre Dame team that is still kind of

732
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 2: searching for its go to playmakers this season, both at

733
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: running back to a lesser degree at wide receiver. It's

734
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 2: gonna take them a bit to get rolling in this game,

735
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 2: to get some momentum up. But I think Louisville tries

736
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: running up the gut on Notre Dame because they know

737
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: that that's the soft underbelly of the defense. We know

738
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: Scott Saderfield likes to run it. They might get some

739
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 2: traction on Notre Dame here in the early going. I

740
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: do think eventually Notre Dame pulls away in the second half.

741
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: Something like thirty one thirteen feels like a good score

742
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 2: to me, But I'm not.

743
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: Going to give the points here. I'm taking the points.

744
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 2: Louisville at home, big spot, new coach, I'll take that

745
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: twenty and a half.

746
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: So we agree this is the home dog of the week.

747
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:05,240
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, the Yuckers home dog of the week.

748
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: You put you put so much emotion into telling me

749
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: how your roller coaster of a Monday night is going

750
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: to go and it seems like I know Notre Dame

751
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: as Georgia in a couple of weeks. Yep, yes, yep.

752
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,720
Speaker 1: It's not direct look ahead, but it's there's some look ahead. Potentially,

753
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 1: it's like a three week look Well it's two weeks

754
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: from Saturday, right.

755
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's that's a lot of looking ahead. Man's

756
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: George is a big deal.

757
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: I think Louisville is going to lose a bunch this year,

758
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have some scrap. Yeah, and so home

759
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: Dog with some scrap sadder Field gets his teams up.

760
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: App State is a different story. App State was way

761
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: better than Louisville is now. But we saw them against

762
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: I mean Michigan way back when when he was just

763
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: a coordinator. But we saw them against Penn State last year.

764
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: We saw them against Tennessee in a game that they

765
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: should have won a few years ago. So I think

766
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: Louisville is going to be so much more motivated than

767
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 1: what we saw from them last year. I think they

768
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: lose by a couple touchdowns. Notre Dame did start out

769
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,399
Speaker 1: different quarterback obviously last year, but pretty slowly. Ball State

770
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: and Vandy were not their finest hours. So I'm gonna

771
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: take I'm gonna take the points here in Louisville.

772
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: Louisville, let's do some rapid fire games, shall we.

773
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: Let's go through some more.

774
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Saturday seven point thirty Georgia at Vandy Georgia twenty two

775
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: and a half point road favorite. I am laying the

776
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 2: points here on the road because Vandy's got to replace

777
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 2: Kyle Shermer and Georgia, quite frankly, is the.

778
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: Bomb, Diggity Dan, I'm all out on the dogs this year.

779
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Never say that ever again. Please, Yeah, I'm with you.

780
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a slow start in this game,

781
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: like it could be a ten to seven half time

782
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: score that Georgia wins forty four to seventeen kind of thing.

783
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: Does that point differential workout? Sure? My math says it does. Okay,

784
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: So I'm taking the dogs here, slow but cover.

785
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 2: Saturday, four pm Eastern Virginia Tech the Hokies on the

786
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 2: road at Boston College. The point spreads anywhere between three

787
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: and a half and five, depending where you look. All

788
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say is.

789
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: All the week.

790
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech last year decimated by injuries. Now they've got

791
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: a lot of returning production, which doesn't really mean everything,

792
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 2: but it's a data point. I like that they get

793
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: stability at quarterback now with Ryan Willis. He had a

794
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 2: year under his belt. I like that he was the

795
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 2: fourth highest rated passer in the ACC last year. He's

796
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: got good targets coming back. The defense has to be

797
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,839
Speaker 2: better because they were terrible a year ago, and I

798
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,480
Speaker 2: think Boston College's turnover on defense comes into play a

799
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 2: lot this season, particularly in this game. We know they're

800
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: going to try to run it, but Foster knows they're

801
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 2: going to try to run it against him. Virginia Tech

802
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: will be ready for this game. I like them to

803
00:40:56,480 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: win on the road here and secure my first lock

804
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 2: of the weak victory.

805
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: Do you do you like the line? Does that? Does

806
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: that line make sense to you? Are you taking it

807
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: because it seems too tasty? I feel like you are.

808
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: You are slobbering at this. No, I'm I'm chomping at

809
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: the bit here, Dan, right. That worries me. It does

810
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: worry me a little bit too. Yeah, Like I feel

811
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: like you would have taken Virginia Tech at seven and

812
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: a half, right, Brahn. Not on the road? No, okay.

813
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: I like Virginia Tech a lot more than a like

814
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 2: Boston College, though, so I would at least think about it.

815
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take BC. I'm gonna take the Eagles, mostly

816
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 1: because of the slabber factor from you. I was prepared

817
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 1: to take Virginia Tech, but then BC at home. I

818
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: just looked it up while you were just going on

819
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: about your your hokies. Apparently students not enrolled yet, but

820
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: I think they should be in town. I think the

821
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,919
Speaker 1: first day of classes are a few days after this game.

822
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: So I'm i'm I'm feeling pretty good that BC is

823
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: going to be good at home against VT win or

824
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take the Eagles.

825
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: Saturday, seven point thirty Virginia at Pitt. Virginia a two

826
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 2: and a half point road favorite and.

827
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: Dan Block of the Week.

828
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: A double Virginia is for locks of the week, you

829
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: know it and on the road and on the road.

830
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: Pitt's offensive line lost four starters from a year ago.

831
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 2: Their backfield lost Kawdrey Allison and Darren Hall, both of

832
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: whom went over a thousand yards and combined for a

833
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 2: bunch of touchdowns. That's putting a lot of pressure on

834
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: Canny Pickett, and he's gonna be throwing against a UVA

835
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 2: defense that brings back eight starters from a year ago.

836
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 2: By the way, their offense still has Bryce Perkins. I

837
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 2: feel real good about Virginia. I'm walking up both Virginia

838
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 2: and Tech in Week one.

839
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: Double home dog. You like the road favorite, I'm gonna

840
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: take Virginia here as well. Last year this game was

841
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: weirdly for the division. So I think Virginia is in

842
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: a better place right now. I think they're going to travel. Okay.

843
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: I always hesitate a little bit with that opening weekend

844
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: night game. I know, I know it's weird, right, It's

845
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: a little bit strange to take a home favorite there,

846
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm gonna roll with. I believe right now

847
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: to be the second best acc quarterback in Bryce Perkins.

848
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, give me the Who's.

849
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: Let's travel back in time if we could, But let's

850
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 2: go back to Friday. There's a game between Wisconsin and

851
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: South Florida. Wisconsin on the road, a twelve point favorite here.

852
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 2: How you feel I actually.

853
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: You know, here's me doubting night game road favorites. I

854
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: think Wisconsin wins this game comfortably. Yeah, I agree, It's

855
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: a nice matchup of even with Wisconsin having to really

856
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: reload or redo their offensive line with I think it's

857
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,720
Speaker 1: four guys gone and not a lot of starting experience

858
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: or playing experienced guys will be playing this year. They

859
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: run the ball well, they have the best running back

860
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: in the country, and US SAFF really struggled against the

861
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 1: run last year. So bad matchup for the Bulls. Gimme Wisconsin.

862
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: We agree, Let's travel back in time again.

863
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:18,280
Speaker 2: Hollywoh Thursday, ten to fifteen pm Eastern Utah at BYU Utaw,

864
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 2: a five point road favorite.

865
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: Here.

866
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: We were a bit remiss actually to not mention more

867
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: of BYU in our previous.

868
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, which dropped yell at me before the show started.

869
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: You will not mention BYU. I know, I will edit

870
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: every BYU reference out.

871
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: I know. I know BYU really hit, really hit a

872
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 2: stride down the stretch last year, and I think this

873
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 2: could be a good offense.

874
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: My question is with defense, because they do have some

875
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 1: holes to plug.

876
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: I look at this game just from the standpoint of

877
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: what's happened lately, and what's happened lately is that it's

878
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: been a one score game each of the last six years.

879
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 2: It feels like this game is perpet ually close. I

880
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: believe Utah is the better team and they win the game.

881
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 2: But I am taking BYU with the points at home here,

882
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:08,479
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

883
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. You know what, I think? I

884
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: agree here as well. I'm gonna take those points. It's

885
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: time they've lost what eight years in a row. Close

886
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: competitive a lot of them, I think with the quarterback,

887
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: with the experience on defense, big up front against Utah,

888
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: and where you can beat BYU is down the field,

889
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: test those corners I don't. I like Britain Covey, I

890
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 1: like Tyler Huntley, but that's not where I think this

891
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: Utah offense is going to win. So I think it's

892
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: going to be BYU finally getting it's come up and

893
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: slotally are that'd be a big up set in Week one,

894
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: outright outright they win by three overtime. Wow. Okay.

895
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: Thursday, eight pm, Georgia Tech at Clemson. We mentioned this

896
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 2: just because we have to. It's the obligatory. Clemson mentioned

897
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 2: They're a thirty six and a half point favorite at

898
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 2: home against Georgia Tech.

899
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: I love Clemson this year. I don't think i'd ever.

900
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: Want to bet on a team that is giving thirty

901
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: six and a half points in a game. So I

902
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: am inclined to just go Georgia Tech plus the points,

903
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: knowing full well that Clemson's going to win out right

904
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 2: and probably comfortably.

905
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: How many games did Clemson win by more than thirty

906
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: six and a half points? They didn't beat Georgia Tech

907
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: by thirty points? No, right, No, that's last year. No

908
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: different Tech team, different Tech offense. That's a lot of points. Yeah,

909
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,720
Speaker 1: what number would be interesting to you? It would probably

910
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: have to be.

911
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 2: I mean, just as a rule, I don't like to

912
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 2: make twenty thirty, okay, so maybe twenty eight twenty eight

913
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: and a half would be my upper boundary.

914
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: These are the teams that Clemson beat by thirty six

915
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: and a half points or more last season. Power five

916
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:49,319
Speaker 1: teams you ready, yep? Uh? Not Texas A and M,

917
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: Not Georgia Tech, not Syracuse Wake Forest. Yeah definitely they

918
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: made them by sixty Okay, not NC State, but it

919
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: was close. They win by thirty four. Florida's they went

920
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: by forty nine, so that counts. Louisville they beat by

921
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,920
Speaker 1: ninety three million points, so yes, that counts. Boston College

922
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty Duke twenty nine South Carolina. They win by this

923
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: is my on the fly math, but three touchdowns twenty

924
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: one points. Pit they win by thirty two. National Championship

925
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: by on the fly math twenty eight points. Notre Dame

926
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,840
Speaker 1: twenty seven points. So it doesn't happen a lot. It

927
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: happens to teams when they are just a wreck, and

928
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: that is what Georgia Tech might be, but they're the

929
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: ramblin wreck. I'm gonna take Clemson to win comfortably, but

930
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take those points. I think they win by

931
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: thirty to thirty two points. It's close, but they're pulling

932
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: so many of those guys early that they don't fully

933
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: run away.

934
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: And very quickly. Thursday, seven pm. Interesting way to kick

935
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:51,240
Speaker 2: off the season here, Ucla at Cincinnati Bearcats, a three

936
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: point road favorite. Talk about a weird way to open

937
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: the season. Strange line too, if you're Ucla, Yeah it is.

938
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: I'm sure when they scheduled this game it looked a

939
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 2: lot easier. But now Cincinnati's legitimately good on both sides

940
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 2: of the football. My expectation is that since he's gonna

941
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 2: win and cover. But I do have a bit of

942
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 2: hesitation because I think UCLA is along there physical team,

943
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: and I don't quite know what to expect.

944
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: From them in twenty nineteen. I imagine UCLA is going

945
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:21,439
Speaker 1: to take a nice step forward this year. I don't

946
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: know what exactly that means, but I like the fact

947
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: this is in Cincinnati. It'll have a big game feel

948
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,760
Speaker 1: to it, you know, Cincinnati first game of the season,

949
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: hosting Chip Kelly and the Bruins. I like UCLA here.

950
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: I like the UCLA outright as much as I like Cincinnati.

951
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: This was a last second game last year, with UCLA

952
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 1: having a pretty bad talent level. Frankly, especially on defense.

953
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: I think they're much improved there. I think they're going

954
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 1: to win this game by a touchdown.

955
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 2: All right, So we have a handful of other games

956
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 2: here that we want to rifle through. I think you

957
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: were offended that I forgot to include those. Yes, I

958
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,479
Speaker 2: think you were offended that I forgot to include these

959
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 2: on my initial Google doc.

960
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: Yep, that's true. So the floor is yours, sir, have

961
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: at it. Just you get to see Jordan Love Friday night.

962
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: If you want against wake Forest, that's a real game.

963
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: If other games Friday Night are not so real. If

964
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's running away from South Florida or I don't have

965
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't when's the Holy War? Is it a Thursday

966
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: night game? That is a Thursday night game? Yeah? Right?

967
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: So if Wisconsin South Florida isn't much, you have Utah

968
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: State Wake Colorado State. Colorado features what I think is

969
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the country in Laviisca Channelt. That

970
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: game is either a blowout or real tight and not

971
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: much in between. You have Oregon State, who I think

972
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: is going to be more talented and feistier. And I

973
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: said this on the PAC twelve North portion of our

974
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: PAC twelve preview. They've added enough in the way of

975
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: transfers that I think their general talent level is a

976
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: nice bump up from where it was last year in Oklahoma.

977
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,959
Speaker 1: State on the road Corvallis is strange. I don't think

978
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: the Beavers win this game, but I think it gets

979
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 1: a little wacky.

980
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: I saw that the over under here is seventy four

981
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: and a half points, and I have a friend who

982
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 2: was all in on the over.

983
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: How do you feel about that? I think Oregon, I

984
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: mean Oregon State very quietly has one of the PAC

985
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: twelve's best reas they have. I don't know where I

986
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: feel about them at quarterback, but I like Jonathan Smith

987
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot, especially with times scheme. So yeah, I

988
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be points points, points for sure. Okay,

989
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 1: thanks over Georgia Southern LSU. Georgia Southern beat app State

990
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: last year. They were very good at limiting big plays.

991
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: LSU now is allegedly running the spread, and the Tigers

992
00:50:23,239 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: have Texas week two. That's more of a reasonable look

993
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: ahead than the Georgia look ahead for Notre Dame. So

994
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna keep your eyes on Georgia Southern LSU.

995
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: Keep them on there, Okay, Saturday, Ole Miss Memphis.

996
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 2: I like Memphis. I like Memphis. They're like a four

997
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 2: point favorite. Yeah, I'm all in on Memphis this year.

998
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: That's why. Yeah, Okay, I mean Ole Miss is. I

999
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: mean they're changing everything everywhere, So I like Memphis as well.

1000
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: I think offensively they are in a great place to

1001
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: take advantage of. I don't think there's land sharks left

1002
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: at Oxford now. I think they're extinct. And finally, Fresno

1003
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: USC Saturday. Fresnel replacing a lot both sides of the ball,

1004
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: but have played very well. USC new offense, a lot

1005
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: of talent, most talented team in the conference. Close. I

1006
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: think another ice peel game. Yeah, I saw the.

1007
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: I think points spread was like thirteen in favor of USC,

1008
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,479
Speaker 2: which feels like too much.

1009
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: Ten thirty Eastern Pack twelve after Dark potential. I'll catch

1010
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: you on Sunday. Catch you on Sunday. I think this

1011
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: game's close. I would take those.

1012
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 2: Points, all right, That's all we got then week one

1013
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:30,560
Speaker 2: in the books, you're on the solid verbal.

1014
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,879
Speaker 1: This has been a show a long time coming. We've

1015
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: been waiting for it for months on end, and now

Speaker 1: long time. So this is a friendly show. Will you

1025
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: I thought you'd never asked getting all tingling. So Colgate

1026
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 1: didn't equit itself super well against Villanova, but that's a

1027
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:18,879
Speaker 1: week zero thing.

1028
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 2: Tie.

1029
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 1: Everybody knows that about the Gators, that that's a slow

1030
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: start and a fast finish. You will be wise to

1031
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: jump on the Gator bus right now. They're going to

1032
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: air Force. They're going to where's air Force Colorado? Yeah,

1033
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: it's tough getting that option. It's tough air Force experience.

1034
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,839
Speaker 1: Give me those Gators, obviously, Who do you like, I'm

1035
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: going air Force? Come on, talk'll be I'll be crazy here.

1036
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: You don't know what you're doing here. Bucknell Temple, I

1037
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: go Tempason. Don't even talk to me about the Nellies.

1038
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't even a big rod carry guy. I know,

1039
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: I know Georgetown Davidson.

1040
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 2: We were only miles away from Multi Sports Field when

1041
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 2: we were down in DC, weren't we.

1042
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: We were, And somebody who attended the show said he

1043
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 1: played at Multi Sport Field and it was still called

1044
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: Multi Sport Field, which it still is obviously. Yeah, I

1045
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: mean I think he played for Brown. As a rule,

1046
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: we don't pick Georgetown away from Multi Sport Field right now,

1047
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 1: and they're playing Davidson And I've been in the Davidson

1048
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: area and it seems like a very nice place to live.

1049
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,520
Speaker 1: Saint Francis Pa Lehigh. Yeah, you're going Franny's here.

1050
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 2: I gotta go lee High. Lehigh is just a short

1051
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 2: jaunt up the road. I thought about maybe going check

1052
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 2: the scheme out, get some live coverage.

1053
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: When are they playing? This is a Friday night.

1054
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: I would assume it's going to be a ESPN, but

1055
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: I haven't actually checked the listings.

1056
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: There is a reporter who followed me. She was the

1057
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: Patriot League is the Patriot League reporter for the Patriot

1058
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: League Network. And I did not tap back. You follow

1059
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: back quicker than she followed me. So very excited for

1060
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: that Holy Cross Navy, the Crossaders against the Midshipman down

1061
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: in Annapolis and Napolis. I'm gonna go Navy here. Dan

1062
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,279
Speaker 1: went back and forth, made a lot of calls for

1063
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: this one, but yeah, thin, I'm gonna go Navy as well,

1064
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 1: and to bounce back season. How do you feel about

1065
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: Lafayette at Bill and Mary? I'm going eddies here, Ty,

1066
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: I think people are sleeping on the eddies. Yeah, after

1067
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: a couple of down years, that's when you want to

1068
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: you want to buy in early on America's team, the

1069
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: Lafayete Leopards. Everybody knows that I'm going Bill and Mary.

1070
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,359
Speaker 2: There's two of them, both of them, both of them.

1071
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 2: And finally we've got Central Connecticut on the road. Yeah

1072
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 2: at the one true team of Oh Gosh, New York,

1073
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 2: the Fordham Rams.

1074
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: How do you feel? You know, normally I'd be happy

1075
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: to take the Connies, but when you come to the

1076
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 1: Bronx and you don't bring your a game, it gets ugly.
