40
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 3: three seven two two five one. Or you can use

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: a little voice recorder, the app that every phone has nowadays, yep,

42
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: make a recording, a concise recording. I plead with you

43
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: a concise recording and then send it to us via

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: email at the reverb line at gmail dot com. That's

45
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: the reverb line all one word at gmail dot com.

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 3: We got a couple last week, so you can get

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 3: a couple more in week eleven.

48
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Ten and if you want to contact tied directly six

49
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: one oh two, can I keep going? Okay, sorry scoundrel.

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 3: So what is your pitch for a week? Okay, because

51
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: there are some big games this week.

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are some big games. This is where for

53
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, it's not necessarily season defining. I

54
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: would say, I think there are some bigger matchups. Certainly

55
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: it's the biggest one in the SEC this season, but

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily season life time. I'm defining Penn State Minnesota.

57
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: You know, Minnesota can still have a good season if

58
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: they don't take down the Nitney Lions at home, and

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: same for Penn State. They can still have a successful one.

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 1: They're same for Baylor or Wisconsin against Iowa Oklahoma, Iowa State.

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: It's been a thorn, but it is where the rubber

62
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: meets the road. There is something about the ball not lying.

63
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: And initially my mind went to SAT Saturday a significant test.

64
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: It's not bad, that is not bad, but not end

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: all be all, but Sat Saturday, because Saturday starts with SAT.

66
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: It was too mushy for me, and so I'm going

67
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: with something that is a little bit more fun to say,

68
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: flows a little bit better where it's a significant test.

69
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: Results don't lie. Everything's you know. You win, you win,

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: you lose, you lose, especially looking at you Wake Forest,

71
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech. I have it Scantron Saturday. That is not

72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: bad scan Tron's, especially with it being voting day this

73
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: past week. It's voting week, and yeah, you fill in.

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: You either get it right or you get it wrong,

75
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's much room for error. That

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: is very good, Thank you very much, very good. I

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: am partial to scan Tron's Saturday.

78
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: My suggestion was going to be because it's a striking

79
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 3: week and it looks like it's got a lot of bark.

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Maybe not striking week. Striking.

81
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 3: You just look at the slate before us, and it's okay,

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: here's some striking matchups.

83
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: I thought there was a Union reference of some kind.

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, no, no, nothing like that. But

85
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: it's striking Chicago teachers by the way. Hell yeah, it looks.

86
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Like it's got a lot of bark, maybe not a

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: lot of bite. It's very family friendly if you look

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 3: at when these games are being played. I'm a little

89
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 3: partial to my puppy I was going to say samoids

90
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 3: Saturday type.

91
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: People don't even know how to spell that. This is

92
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: about branding. I had a winner last week. It's tough

93
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: to top what I had. It's true. Okay, Welcome to

94
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Scantrons Saturday, number two pencils only, yes, and keep your

95
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: eyes on your own paper. And you know you've been

96
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: You've been prepping all these things, been prepping for months

97
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: for this, so you've had time to get ready for

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: these big matchups. Now sit at your desk. And it's

99
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: also kind of collegiate, right Scantron's.

100
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

101
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to Scantron Saturday.

102
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: Welcome to Scantrons Saturday. But before we get there, I'm

103
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: not gonna yell the breaking news. My voice is ready

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: on its last legs. It's week eleven.

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 1: Doo doo doo, doot doot.

106
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: Trying to suckle down some of that wild sweet orange tea,

107
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: a little bit of honey key things going here.

108
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Nice, good for you.

109
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 3: Playoff rankings. We had the first playoff rankings that were released.

110
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 3: We did not have a chance to talk about them because,

111
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: like all big things in the podcast world, that happens

112
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: seemingly right after we hit stop correct sort.

113
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: Of right, wasn't it last night? Tuesday night we record

114
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: Let's peel back this onion. We record the tues crews

115
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: on Mondays. We do it's up at six am on Tuesdays.

116
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: I don't think we're pulling one over anybody. Sail early

117
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. Here's your first four. We've got Ohio State one,

118
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: LSU two, Alabama three, and Penn State four. So to

119
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: big ten teams to SEC teams. You know, these are

120
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: like deck chairs in the Titanic at this point, they're

121
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: going to get all sorts of boggled around by the

122
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: time we get to the end of the season. Certainly

123
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: some teams in that top four are going to lose.

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: We know at least two of them will between now

125
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: and the end of the football season.

126
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 3: To round out the top ten, though, we have Clemson

127
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: at five, Georgia at six, Oregon your Oregon Ducks defending

128
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 3: Great box Ball champion Oregon Ducks ye at number seven,

129
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: followed by Utah, fill by Oklahoma, and followed by Florida.

130
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: Any surprises you think Penn State's the fourth best team

131
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: in the country, It's okay if you do.

132
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 3: I can't make a case against it at this point.

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if I believe it in my bones

134
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: at this point, but I certainly understand why the committee

135
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: would go there because their strength of resumes so far

136
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: has been really, really formidable.

137
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the Michigan win is obviously doing the work

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: here because that's what separates them from Clemson. Through no

139
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: full fault of Clemson's own, their best win is A

140
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: and M, so I understand it. I don't know if

141
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you have your your spreadsheet, your your mock up line

142
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: of like what a Penn State Clemson matchup would look

143
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: like on a neutral field, but it figured out. Yeah,

144
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: even with this year's results and not looking at last year,

145
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: not looking at talent level in general, I think I

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: have Clemson ahead of Penn State in my mind, right.

147
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: Neutral field Clemson by about ten.

148
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. So once you get into that double digit area

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: and I understand the Michigan win is, it looks more

150
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: impressive than ever. They held on to beat the Wolverines,

151
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: but otherwise it's been The Iowa win is I think

152
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: pretty good. They held on. They held Iowa without out

153
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: of the end zone right for three and a half corners,

154
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: so or at least maybe even more than three and

155
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: a half, So I can't really hold that much against

156
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: Penn State. It's just more of an eye test thing

157
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: and that's harder to quantify. So I guess I'm okay

158
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: with Penn State at four. It's the first release of

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 1: the playoff rankings to make Clemson's higher quality right now.

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: But Penn State blows the doors off of Minnesota. I

161
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: think that's a pretty emphatic scantro on Saturday for them.

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 3: Clemson's likely going to move into the top four next

163
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: week after the Lsubama game, depending on how that game goes.

164
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: But I would say I have a pretty high level

165
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: of confidence that Clemson will be in the top four

166
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: next week. Georgia's probably blocked by the loser of that

167
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: LSU Bama game, at least for the time being. Your

168
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: Orga Ducts are uniquely positioned. If they can run the table,

169
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 3: if they can beat Utah whoever in the Pac twelve game, they.

170
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: Are in the top ten playoff team correct.

171
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 3: They are uniquely positioned here to maybe throw their hat

172
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: in the ring. Oklahoma all the way down at nine,

173
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: really needs a case State win over Texas this week.

174
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: They really need that. The way I see it, about

175
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: nine teams real shot at this.

176
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing going against Oregon right now is probably

177
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: what's out of their control and that the Arizona schools

178
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: in Oregon State are not going to come across and

179
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: they have a bye week this week as crazy impressive

180
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: to finish out the year. Whereas Alabama from this point

181
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: forward can beat LSU and Auburn, LSU can beat A

182
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: and M and Alabama, Ohio State has Penn State and

183
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: you know whoever comes out of the Big Ten West,

184
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: it looks like Minnesota, so they'll have more quality wins.

185
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: Clemson is going to struggle in that department, and Georgia

186
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: can can lay low. But yeah, they're they're blocked for

187
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: the time being. And I still think they have a

188
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: pretty good shot here after their win against Florida. So yeah,

189
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 1: Utah's lurking as well, and they could have a really

190
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: impressive win over Oregon in the Pac twelve championship game.

191
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: And yeah, Oklahoma needs help. And beyond that, I don't

192
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: think we're talking about playoff caliber teams. I don't think

193
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: so either. I think there's a there's a line, and

194
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, Auburn has a playoff caliber defense. I just

195
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: there's there's too many flaws beyond that line to me,

196
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: all right, Dan, time.

197
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: It is scan tron Saturday. Get those number two pencils ready.

198
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 3: Fill in your dots. Make sure you fill them in

199
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 3: completely so the scantron does not get confused. This is

200
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: all very important information.

201
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: That's true. And if you're going to a race, be

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: thorough What do they recommend white out? White out? Really

203
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: they don't. I don't know if they recommend white out?

204
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: What I know? You just have to really, really thoroughly

205
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: go for it, right, you can't. You can't be hazy

206
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: with your erasers. No, no, you gotta. You really got

207
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: to go for it, which is a good life lesson

208
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: to me. Don't be hazy with your erasing. Scandro on

209
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: Saturday week, what are we twelve eleveven eleven? I don't know, ty,

210
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: I got very little sleep last night.

211
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: Let's do this.

212
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: Let's do.

213
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 4: This. May be the easiest.

214
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Window of opportunity that we've had. I need, I need

215
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: to know this because it's childcare Saturday.

216
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 3: Exclose, single day, single dad Saturday. Excuse me, Yeah, solo dad,

217
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: solidad Saturday, not sad, different thing.

218
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: M h.

219
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 3: It's easy. It's a family friendly Saturday. I look at

220
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 3: the slate before us here there are a couple notable

221
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: night games. I guess I always state Oklahoma could be fun,

222
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 3: It's been fun in the past. I guess Missouri Georgia

223
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: has some intrigue for us here, at least as a

224
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: podcast goes, because we've been talking it up for months

225
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: on end and Notre Dame dude.

226
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, even app state South.

227
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 3: Carolina some intrigue there. Lower points spread than maybe people

228
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: might expect. But I think the bulk of your big

229
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 3: games are in the early half of the day before

230
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 3: dinner on the East Coast, and good for me, doesn't

231
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 3: help me much well little one people that then aren't

232
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 3: named Dan Rubinstein. I think your window of opportunity is

233
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 3: some time after LSU Bama go out and have a

234
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: date night.

235
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Actually it works out well for I'm going to

236
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: be selfish air and talking about me some more. It

237
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: works out. This is what I have to study and

238
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: everything I didn't see normally. I'm able to get up

239
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: early on Sunday mornings before the podcast and do you know,

240
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: catch up on everything I need to before we record,

241
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: So it'll just be more of a late night. So

242
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad that the action isn't always pertinent across the

243
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: board during primetime in late night, So that's good. Let's

244
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: start at high noon. It is on ABC.

245
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: It is the Penn State Nitney Lions, again number four

246
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: in the first college Football Playoff rankings this season, on

247
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 3: the road at the Minnesota Golden Gophers. This point spread

248
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 3: is at a brown six and a half seven points,

249
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 3: depending where you look. Of note here is that PJ.

250
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 3: Fleck got a new seven year deal just in time

251
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 3: for this game.

252
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: Dan about thirty three, mel I saw. I don't know

253
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: how the structure works out and how incentives work into that,

254
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: but yes he did. He started out really well. There's

255
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: sure to be interested in PJ. Fleck as jobs open up.

256
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: His enthusiasm, his passion. You know, we'll see if there

257
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: is more to PJ. Fleck than just enthusiasm and passion

258
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: against some of the lower teams in the Big Ten

259
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 1: as the schedule gets harder. But yeah, it was good

260
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: for Fleck and the Fleck family.

261
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,959
Speaker 3: That is that is correct, and you know, to his credit,

262
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: there's a lot to like about Minnesota this year. They

263
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: might not be the flash last team, but thus far

264
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 3: they've been crazy efficient on both sides of the football,

265
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 3: and certainly in terms of raw atmospherics. They work to

266
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: Minnesota's advantage. Here. They're at home, it's an earlier game,

267
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: so it's a body clock situation.

268
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are.

269
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 4: Gonna be fired up for this.

270
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: I'd be glad if I were a Penn State fan

271
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: that it's an eleven am kick actually, rather than a

272
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, local six pm prime time. Whole place has

273
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: been drinking all days, used for the big event kind

274
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: of thing.

275
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: My problem is the matchup. Yeah, the matchup is what

276
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 3: bothers me because for starters, you look at Minnesota's resume,

277
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 3: you could make a case and I'm not making it,

278
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: but I'm saying hypothetically, somebody out.

279
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: There, do you want me to make a case.

280
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 3: You could make a case that their best win is

281
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 3: over South Dakota State.

282
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Whoa to all the haters who said that Minnesota couldn't

283
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: take down the jack Rabbits scoreboard.

284
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 3: They're number four in the FCS. Correct, you could make

285
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: that case. I'm not making it here, but you could

286
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 3: if you really tried. I do think they've gotten better

287
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: as the season's gone on, so it's not advisable to

288
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: take them lightly. There's just some degree of credibility missing

289
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 3: from their resume, and frankly, that's why they're eight to

290
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: zeroe ranked number seventeen in the first set of rankings.

291
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: Is that all fair?

292
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? And I left out Minnesota and talking about, you know,

293
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: tiers of playoff caliber teams. Minnesota wins all of their games.

294
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: It can be in the playoff. That's you know, I

295
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: would be surprised, but pleasantly surprised. Walk me through all

296
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: of the Big Ten starting quarterbacks Minnesota has faced this

297
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: year because it's none of them, Because it's Purdue, Illinois, Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland,

298
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 1: all I believe started backup quarterbacks against Minnesota. Gopher's fault

299
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: absolutely not proper Gopher data, not necessarily. That's all the

300
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: point is behind that sort of snarky comment. They'll be

301
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: playing Penn State starting quarterback. They'll be playing a Penn

302
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: State offense that generally relies on explosion, bigger plays. Whether

303
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 1: it's kJ Hamler, Pat Fryermuth, do they call him baby gronk?

304
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: Is that a thing there? I've seen it. Yes, most

305
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: good tight ends are now known as baby gronk for

306
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: whatever reason. That is correct. So it's hard to fully

307
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: know what we have in Minnesota. They started the season

308
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: off slowly in terms of separating themselves from teams. They've

309
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: taken care of business out seeing the Purdue game wasn't

310
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: great for them, especially on defense. But you take care

311
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: of business, you win your clunkers. You're formidable. And so

312
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: as it relates to Penn State, I think the Knits

313
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: the Ninny Lions have an edge. I think part of

314
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: it is special teams. I think in order to beat

315
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Penn State you have to do it repeatedly, putting together

316
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: drives down the field, which will become increasingly difficult over

317
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: the game. Over the course of the game, I like

318
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota's offense, but this is a couple of tiers up

319
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: from what they've seen. I like the early kicktime for

320
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Penn State. I think it's back and forth for a bit,

321
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: but ultimately it's the big plays from Penn State and

322
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: just the overall talent level of the backups, the threes, whatever,

323
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: they have to see action throughout a game. I have

324
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: at thirty one to twenty Penn State.

325
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 3: Interesting, I've got it at thirty one seventeen Penn State. Okay,

326
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: So three things that jump out at me and you're

327
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: all right. Everything you said is all right. In my book,

328
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 3: Penn State plays the run really well and that poses

329
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: a challenge for a Minnesota team that has relied on

330
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 3: the run to a great degree this year. I also

331
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 3: think Minnesota has a hard time keeping tan or Morgan

332
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: upright when they do have to pass.

333
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: I think they've been more successful passing it Minnesota than

334
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: running it, even though they've been some big numbers. I

335
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: think they've been a better passing team in terms of efficiency. Yes, okay,

336
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: but they've had plenty of games where they've relied on

337
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: that rushing attack as well. Correct.

338
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: Yes, So it's not to say that they're a one

339
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 3: trick pony, but I could see them trying to utilize

340
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 3: that run game to open things up, maybe try to

341
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 3: throw it downfield. I just don't think they're going to

342
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: have much success doing that. And I worry for Tanner

343
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 3: Morgan because this line has not been great at keeping

344
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 3: him upright. And we know it's a Penn State line

345
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 3: that's got a lot of bite to it. So that

346
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 3: that's number two. And the third thing is I don't

347
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 3: know if you saw, but James Franklin essentially made it

348
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 3: Facebook official naming Noah Kane his number one running.

349
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: Back is that? Is that a real real thing?

350
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: It is a real real thing.

351
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 3: Now.

352
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 4: It won't change next week.

353
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: It could change next week, but at least for this week,

354
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: he's number one on the depth chart.

355
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: That's good to see because that's actually been a place

356
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: where Penn State has struggled. If they need a four

357
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: minute drive and to really grind it out on the ground,

358
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: it hasn't always been there.

359
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping now that they've kind of made this

360
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 3: commitment that it means more work for Noah King, And

361
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 3: if it does, it could could be a big game

362
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 3: for him on the ground.

363
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: I see that in his near future.

364
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 3: I like Penn State pretty comfortably thirty one seventeen, could

365
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 3: see it being close for half.

366
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm with you.

367
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: I think Penn State's a couple rungs better than Minnesota

368
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: at this point. You know, if I put my personal

369
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 3: biases aside, would love to see it be an awesome

370
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: story if Minnesota could pull the upset here at home, And.

371
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: What does that look like? What does that that Minnesota

372
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: upset look like? How do you beat Penn State if

373
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: you are Minnesota with their talent, their their strengths on

374
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: defense and offense.

375
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 3: They've got to figure out some way to rattle Sean Clifford. Okay,

376
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: they got to stop the run in rattle Shan Clifford

377
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: and hope that their offense can win the battle field position,

378
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: control the clock, and I think keep it relatively low scoring.

379
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 3: I don't think they can outscore Penn State.

380
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: Well, you're gonna need to if you want to win. Well,

381
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying. Not in a shootout, right

382
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: right right, So it'll be it would be like a

383
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: twenty to seventeen win. Yeah for Minnesota if they're able

384
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: to pull it off, get a couple of big plays

385
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: from their big play receivers against a pretty good Penn

386
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: State secondary.

387
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,239
Speaker 4: We're moving on.

388
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 3: Also at high noon on FS one, we've got the

389
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: Baylor Bears on the road at TCU. Okay, the revivalry,

390
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 3: as they say, yeah, two and a half points. I

391
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: hate this game so much. I hate I've heard great

392
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: things about Fort Worth. We had an undefeated Baylor coming in.

393
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: There's no love lost between these two teams. Got to

394
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: throw out the records and the revivalry.

395
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 1: Come on, I get in a revivalry. Yeah.

396
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: Oh, Yeah, I've been high on Baylor all preseason, all

397
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 3: regular season. I think this is a really good football team.

398
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 3: They've consistently gotten more consistent under Matt Rule. Sure it's

399
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: a thing, Okay, so good for them in terms of efficiency.

400
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: The defense has been better than the offense, which our

401
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 3: not really used to saying about Baylor.

402
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 4: But okay.

403
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 3: I like Charlie Brewer, I like the skill talent a lot.

404
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 3: Not crazy about their line play, but.

405
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: You get my point. I like Baylor a great deal here.

406
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 3: I like so much about Baylor, Yet I still feel

407
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 3: like TCU is going to win the game, and I

408
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 3: don't know how to emotionally deal with that.

409
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: What why? How score walk me through? Baylor's got Oklahoma

410
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 1: and Texas in the next two weeks of the season.

411
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 1: You think they're looking past the Frogs.

412
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: I think there's a potential here.

413
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: For a look now, Oh, get out of tech. I

414
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: think there's potential for a look ahead spot. No way, Madden,

415
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: this is a matchup that has a lot of teeth

416
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: to it.

417
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 4: Ty is it or is it not?

418
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: TCU's spot their brand to completely muck up the Big

419
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 3: twelve race here?

420
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: Oh? It for sure? Is Here's my general concern about

421
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: the Frogs right now. They might not have a quarterback.

422
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: Max Duggan hurt his I want to say his the

423
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: middle finger on his throwing hand as one does yep,

424
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: which if he plays, that's probably not the best way

425
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: to throw a football with twenty percent of the necessary

426
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: digits being broken. And you say to yourself, well, there's

427
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks on the TCU roster. You look at and

428
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: I think it was the reddit CFB subreddit, the college

429
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: football subreddit on Reddit. They went through the quarterback room

430
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: for TCU, and it's like next guy transferred, next guy rickets,

431
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: next guy, next guy undisclosed SCD, next guy transfer portal,

432
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: and then it's like all the way down to possible

433
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: walk on if he gets the grades or something like.

434
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 1: It's not great. So when a position like quarterback is

435
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,439
Speaker 1: hanging in the balance to that degree, I'm happy to

436
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: just go with the other team that happens to have

437
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 1: a snow advisory defense.

438
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 4: Why is hold on?

439
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: Then I'll play the snow advisory.

440
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 3: But why why is the line only two and a

441
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 3: half in favorite Baylor's at TCU?

442
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: TCU has I mean, they have good players, their defense

443
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: is fine. They they're in games. They got blown out

444
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 1: by what Iowa State, and otherwise they've they've been competitive,

445
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: so mean, they're coached. Well, they gave up a ton

446
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: on the ground last week, which wasn't great. I have

447
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: Baylor twenty three to fourteen. I think the Bears got

448
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays through the air. TCU has

449
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: one four straight in this last year. They beat them

450
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: by a touchdown in Waco. So I get your concern,

451
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: but no, the Ricketts factor of the of the tc quarterback.

452
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 3: Round emotionally mentally conflicted.

453
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: Here.

454
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 3: You know my stance on TCU one night stand. Come on,

455
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 3: you know my stance on TCU. You know where I

456
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 3: stand on Baylor. I do like this snow advance, but

457
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 3: I like.

458
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Coming up to Waitco Waco Rato games in Fort Worth,

459
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: but all the same game is in Fort Worth.

460
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 3: I think Baylor is the better team I have all year.

461
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stick with that. I think it's twenty four

462
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 3: to twenty one Baylor wins, but it's close. Okay, So

463
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 3: you have Baylor sneaking out the cover. I do, Yeah, okay,

464
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 3: I do. Maybe a little bit of a front door

465
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: cover here. Up.

466
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: You just scared some dogs. Sorry A lot of samoid's

467
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: out there. It's gone to a big Tomali Dan.

468
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: Three thirty.

469
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: You couldn't even raise your voice for that one.

470
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: Three thirty CBS NBR LSU at Alabama the Crimson Tide,

471
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 3: a six and a half point home favorite. Is this

472
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: one game of the century?

473
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 1: Is it?

474
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 4: Has it achieved game of the century labeling?

475
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the biggest LSU Alabama matchup since twenty eleven.

476
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: I mean we probably say that most ears, but yeah,

477
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: it feels true enough this year, two playoff teams playing number.

478
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: Two versus number three, if you want to get technical

479
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: about it, talking about the College Trooble playoff rankings, Dan, Yeah,

480
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: big match up here. Alabama's won the last eight, which

481
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 3: is wild. The last eight have gone to Alabama. They've

482
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 3: had a dominant run, obviously, not just in this game,

483
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 3: but throughout all of college football. What's meaningful to me, though,

484
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: is that, for the first time in what feels like forever,

485
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: maybe all the way back to twenty eleven, I had

486
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: a hard time picking a winner here.

487
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: Okay, and I know there are.

488
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 3: No moral victories in it's football and man ball and

489
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 3: sports ball and whatever else, but that in and of

490
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 3: itself stands for something in my book, because for as

491
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: long as I can remember now, BAMA has been so dominant.

492
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 3: I don't remember having that dilemma before me when looking

493
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: at this game. And I think college football is more

494
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 3: interesting when this game is interesting. So I'm excited. Just

495
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, this game is always interesting, It's always interesting,

496
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 3: but in a modern era. Yeah, I just haven't felt

497
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 3: in so long like this was a close, almost coin

498
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 3: flippy kind of game, and that's meaningful to me as

499
00:24:59,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: a college FOT.

500
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,239
Speaker 1: I like LS was averaging three point three points these

501
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: last three years in this matchup, over under LSU scoring

502
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: more than three points, I'll go over. Yeah.

503
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, did you know that only three times in

504
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 3: the last fifteen meetings has the winning team scored thirty

505
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: or more points in this matchup.

506
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 1: I didn't know that exact stat, but yes, I do

507
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: know that it's been relatively low scoring. Where do you

508
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: come down here? So, first off, you didn't mention Tua's

509
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:31,439
Speaker 1: right ankle.

510
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 4: I did not. I was building to that, Dan, But continue.

511
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Well you asked me a question, so to I

512
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: had a procedure. He I believe had the tightrope procedure.

513
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: The tightrope system anchoring. And I look this up. Obviously,

514
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: the tibia and fibula together with a braided polyethylene chord

515
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: sure tie to help stimulate recovery. Okay, that sounds awkward. Yeah, well,

516
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: so that brings up a question to me, is a

517
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: hobbled to a tough better than a healthy bon Knicks? Oh?

518
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, really?

519
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm just asking the question because LSU took

520
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 1: on an Auburn team with an excellent defense and an

521
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: offense that was pretty inconsistent that day, and it was close.

522
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: It was tight. And so if Tua isn't as good

523
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: as a healthy bone Knicks, and Ta certainly is not

524
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: as good as Mac Jones. If he can't move, it's

525
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: a problem. It's a definite problem. So how I come

526
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: down in this game is the worries are obviously to

527
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: his ankle, and to a lesser degree, Bama's rush defense.

528
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: I think they're a good enough big game team. LSU

529
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: has a very efficient ground attack. We've seen Clyde Edwards

530
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: Laire really thrive this season. He's just he's patient. He

531
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: hits the lane really hard. So he's been a pleasure

532
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: to watch. And on the other side, LSU's pass rush.

533
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: I think there's just generally an assumption that LSU, with

534
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: how well they recruit, especially on defense, and the speed

535
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: on defense that they get after everybody, they haven't been

536
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: really getting home this season. They haven't been getting to quarterbacks,

537
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: have been putting a ton of pressure, at least relative

538
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,360
Speaker 1: to where they've been in previous years, and even stopping

539
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the ground game of teams you've been able to run.

540
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: We saw some big runs from Florida from Auburn, not

541
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: all game long, but we saw some cracks in this

542
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: LSU rush defense that certainly Alabama can exploit. LSU certainly

543
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: is built to beat Alabama. I still like Alabama's secondary

544
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: a good deal. LSU is going to We've talked about this.

545
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: This is a broken record, the fearlessness, the talent at receiver,

546
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: the size at receiver for LSU, all of that is there.

547
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: But but and I did see I don't know if

548
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you saw that Joe Burrow played in this game last

549
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: year with a separated shoulder. I saw that. Yeah. Yeah,

550
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: So that at least is further context perhaps for why

551
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: LSU struggled. But they were not the offense that they

552
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: are this year. Last year I have at thirty to

553
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: seventeen Bama. Wow, that's a pretty big margin. I'm gambling

554
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: onto A being passibly healthy. But I think it's it's

555
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: in Tuscaloosa under those weird, stupid lights that they have

556
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: in that stadium. Now I don't like them. Sorry, I'm

557
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: not a fun police officer, but it's not my favorite.

558
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: And I just think those receivers for Alabama going against

559
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: the secondary at LSU, who's so good. There's so much

560
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: talent on that secondary. But over the course of four quarters,

561
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about this LSU offense against

562
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 1: Alabama's defense comparable to Auburn's defense. I don't think Alabama

563
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: has quite the talent they did last year. Quinn Williams

564
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: did so much to disrupt LSU last year, and they

565
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: don't have a Quinn Williams upfront this year Alabama. But

566
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: over those four quarters, I think Alabama and that speed

567
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: and at least a seventy five percent to this is

568
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: my pick is built around a seventy five percent healthy

569
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: TOA because you got to pick a percentage if you're

570
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: gonna preview this game and make a you know, plant

571
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: your flag. Thirty to seventeen Bama, So I do think

572
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: they get to thirty exactly.

573
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: My pick is also contingent on a seventy five to

574
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 3: eighty percent to A. Okay, I think we're looking at

575
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 3: a fun thirty five to thirty one game.

576
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so shootout by relative terms for this matchup, correct.

577
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 3: I want to see if Bama can run against LSU,

578
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 3: because if they can, if they can establish Nase Harris,

579
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: that makes their what four headed receiver.

580
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: Monster even more dangerous? Yeah, and Elsie's got a three

581
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: headed receiver monster. They do be fair, yeah, they do.

582
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: But I'm really excited about those Bama receivers this year.

583
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 3: I don't know how you cover all four of them. Okay,

584
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: I've got Alabama winning thirty five thirty one, but I'm

585
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: taking points here.

586
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a follow up? Please? So you're

587
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: taking points because the spread is about a touchdown? Yep.

588
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: If to A starts rolls out, rolls as ankle, which

589
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to happen, it's like, well, it's mac

590
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: joone this time. How does that alter your prediction? Receivers

591
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: are still there, defense is still there, Najah Harra is

592
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: still there. How does a mac Jones let out, how

593
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: does the mac Jones show alter? Your prediction is an automatic? LSU?

594
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 4: It's not automatic?

595
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 3: Okay, it's not automatic because if Nick Saban's proven anything,

596
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 3: it's that he can adjust. Yeah, and he's adjusted to

597
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: coaching staffs turning over year after year. He's adjusted to

598
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 3: a lot in his tenure at Alabama. So I don't

599
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: think it necessarily means instant death for Alabama, but it

600
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 3: definitely means a more conservative game plan, and certainly in

601
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: that instance, the ability to establish Naji Harris or some

602
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: sort of rushing attack would be key.

603
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have twenty seven to twenty four LSU. In

604
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: that situation, I think they adde them.

605
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: I tell you what the move would be, actually, Okay,

606
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: the move would be if Alabama goes up early, if

607
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: you got some sort of live betting app jump on

608
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 3: LSU and maybe go counter to our seventy five a

609
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 3: little contingency.

610
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Oh, you think there's gonna be an overreaction. Alabama goes

611
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: up ten to three with still the two of possibility at.

612
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 3: More points, and then there's a chance that it tightens up.

613
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: If two, it gets hurt because.

614
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: Two has been locked up. Yeah, he has those ankles.

615
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: The other thing was the left ankle and the right

616
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: the right foot, the right ankle, and injury in that

617
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: area generally stepping forward, that's accuracy being able to step

618
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: into your throws, you know, planting his power hips and

619
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: shoulder whatever his power. But it's the accuracy stepping into

620
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,080
Speaker 1: your throws and really staying on balance and on platform.

621
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: So if accuracy goes, could be a long day.

622
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: And also, if you are one of those individuals that

623
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: wants to bet on a game after kickoff, if by

624
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 3: the second half it looks like your BET's gonna lose,

625
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,520

639
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the four pm slot on Fox. It

640
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: is Iowa, it is Wisconsin. It is the game every

641
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: year that causes us to dig out of the archives.

642
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: The old YouTube video you put together. Uh yeah, the

643
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: nature film, the Iowa Wisconsin nature film for what it is,

644
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: the Heartland Trophy. Yes, I believe, so that is correct.

645
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: There's a Brass Bowl involved.

646
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:55,479
Speaker 5: Ty.

647
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's won three in a row, three in a row.

648
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if that affects how you pick this game,

649
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: but this might Iowa. For as crazy good as their

650
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: defense has looked basically all year long, their offense is

651
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: averaged less than excuse me, fewer then fewer then one

652
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: touchdown per game against the good teams that they've played

653
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: in Michigan, Penn State, and Iowa State.

654
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: So what that tells me is as at the point spread,

655
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 3: which is nine and a half, that tells me that.

656
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: Go Wisconsin here. Yeah, so we know what it takes

657
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: to beat Wisconsin at this point, week eleven. It takes

658
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: speed and downfield passing or just being the Illinois fighting alive.

659
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: That's what it takes. Iowa is neither fast or great

660
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: downfield in the passing game. For as much as I

661
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: think we both admire Nate Stanley and the best of

662
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: Nate Stanley, that's not them. That's not how they win games.

663
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: And so I think even though we have downgraded Wisconsin

664
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: a bit since that early start where people were freaking out,

665
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: like they're shutting out everybody, Oh my god, history, I

666
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: have a twenty one ten Wisconsin.

667
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 3: I've got it, twenty eight thirteen Wisconsin twenty eight thirteen.

668
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: That's a lot of points score against his Iowa defense.

669
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: This is a very and not only is the Iowa

670
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: defense good and your your prediction is valid, but Iowa's

671
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: defense is particularly good at stopping longer run plays by

672
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: Honky are run plays they are? And not that Wisconsin

673
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: relies on that.

674
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 3: No, but that's that's a and butter thing for sure.

675
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, I just I was parkening back to

676
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 3: the old game that we played probably last week. I

677
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 3: know we played every week, but how many points does

678
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 3: iowould need to score to win here against Wisconsin? And

679
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 3: I think we agree that the answer is probably twenty

680
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: to twenty four.

681
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: They got to score more than twenty. Yeah. Yeah, the

682
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: weather's going to be fine. It'll be a little chilly

683
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: about thirty eight forty, But we're not. That's big ten

684
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: poor stuff. Yeah, No, So can Iowa get there? I

685
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: don't think so.

686
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 3: I think the Wisconsin defense is too much. I think

687
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 3: they win, I think they cover. I think it's something

688
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 3: like twenty eight thirteen. Jack Cohn's been good enough as

689
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 3: a passer here to give Wisconsin enough balance. And I'm

690
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 3: sticking to my guns. Twenty eight thirteen Wisconsin wins at home.

691
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 3: They covered the nine and a half.

692
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: You don't have faith in big game Brian Farrens's offense, No,

693
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, all right, so we agree. We're

694
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: were agreeing a lot today, which I don't like this.

695
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 1: I don't like this at all.

696
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 3: And finally, in terms of our headliners here, we've got

697
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 3: a bunch of other games to get through. But eight

698
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 3: pm on Fox the Nightcap, it is Iowa State on

699
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 3: the road in Norman, Oklahoma against the Sooners. Oklahoma is

700
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 3: a fourteen and a half point favorite. DAN of note

701
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 3: here since Matt Campbell arrived in Ames. The biggest margin

702
00:35:55,040 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 3: of victory in this game ten points, only ten points

703
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 3: by Oklahoma back in twenty sixteen and last year again

704
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen. But you might remember two years ago

705
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 3: the big upset in Norman. Iowa State went on the

706
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: road in twenty seventeen, they won thirty eight thirty one.

707
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 3: Do we think that Matt Campbell has a little bit

708
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 3: of Lincoln Riley's number here?

709
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 1: First of all, put Joel Lanning's name on this matchup.

710
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: Please put his name on this matchup fair after his

711
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: performance a little ways ago. I think Matt Campbell gets

712
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: his team up for big games. I think there's almost

713
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: like a little bit of Tom Herman too, maybe played

714
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: down when you shouldn't play up when you should. So

715
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: I always say it's good enough to hang around in

716
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 1: this game. This is not I agree with that it's

717
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: not a bulletproof Oklahoma defense, especially on the ground, where

718
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: Iowa State has been inconsistent, But the best of Iowa

719
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: State on the ground has pretty impressive more recently. Anyway,

720
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: My problem is I don't know if the Clones have

721
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: enough firepower to keep up in a shootout. And you

722
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: could have said that about k State. That game was

723
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,439
Speaker 1: in the Little Apple, though, So there is a little

724
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 1: bit a little more juice there, and this one's in Norman.

725
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: I think Ioways stayed in the red zone is good

726
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: enough on defense to turn Oklahoma sixes into threes to

727
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: generate some field goals or field goal attempts. Ultimately, though,

728
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: I think Oklahoma is good enough and they sort of

729
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: go as their running backs go. When we saw in

730
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: that K State game, it was sort of Jalen Hurts

731
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: and a little bit of beck Meyer syndrome having to

732
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 1: do it all himself, and I don't love that idea.

733
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: I have this as a front door cover for Oklahoma,

734
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of cover. Sorry dog, sorry doggies forty

735
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: one twenty four Oklahoma, but perhaps it's twenty eight to

736
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: twenty one, you know, thirty one, twenty four deep into

737
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: the game, and then ultimately it's just maybe some sort

738
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: of explosion play at the end. Oklahoma coming off of

739
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: bye week at home. I believe oklhoem is coming off

740
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: a bye week, right, yep, yep, Yeah, I'm gonna go

741
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: boomer sooner here, but I think it's gonna be a

742
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: fun one for a healthy chunk of it.

743
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: Oklahoma is ninth in the playoff rankings, and I think

744
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 3: they are smart enough to know that they can't take

745
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: any weeks off. I think Lincoln Riley looks at this

746
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: game and says, if I can score one hundred, I'll try.

747
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: They did have the week off to recover from the

748
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 3: k State loss.

749
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 4: Oklahoma's gonna win this game.

750
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 3: My problem with it as it relates to the point spread, though,

751
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 3: is that they're gonna win this game by either fourteen

752
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: or twenty one points and it's one hundred percent the

753
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: kind of situation where the point spread comes down to

754
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: the wire and there's a garbage time touchdown that may

755
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: or may not screw the whole thing up. So I

756
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,959
Speaker 3: want the points here. I'll take fourteen with the little

757
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 3: hook at the end. I think Oklahoma wins thirty eight

758
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 3: to twenty four. But I don't like that point spread,

759
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go iwa stay in that respect.

760
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: Here's my problem. Even though we celebrated him for an

761
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: entire month, that would be bro October. Yeah, the end

762
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: of the Oklahoma State game where Brock Party in a

763
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: close game down seven through seventeen interceptions. Do you treat

764
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: a performance like that like, well, everybody has a bad day,

765
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: and like we've said, before. Don't judge somebody on their worst.

766
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: Don't judge somebody on their best. Everything in between is

767
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: what matters. That was his worst day. Did happen relatively

768
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: recently against a team that's probably not as good as Oklahoma?

769
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 1: Does that color your opinion of him winning a close

770
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: game on the road. No, because we've seen it before. No,

771
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: well we haven't really seen it from brock Party against Oklahoma.

772
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 3: Maybe not, but no, I think he's a good enough

773
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 3: player that it doesn't It doesn't worry me too much.

774
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I think we agree, but I guess we agree

775
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: on the outcome of the game.

776
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 4: All Right.

777
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 3: Some other quick notables that we do need to mention here.

778
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: If we could travel back in time, Dan, if you

779
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,760
Speaker 3: could give me the sound for a second ten thirty

780
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 3: on Friday night on FS one, it's Washington at Oregon State.

781
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 3: Washington's a ten point road favorite. Now of note here,

782
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 3: and I do want to mention this. In our initial

783
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 3: document I did forget to label this game as being

784
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 3: on a Friday night, So I appreciate you doing the

785
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 3: responsible thing and attaching the movie art from Ice Cubes

786
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: Friday as well as the Rebecca Black headshot. It's my

787
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 3: privilege and honor, just to give it a nice little

788
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: touch there and remind me. Also, Dan, this game starts

789
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:32,959
Speaker 3: at three point thirty am one time. Are you gonna

790
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 3: stay up for this one?

791
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, no, absolutely not. It's soloed out Saturday.

792
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: I'll be in bed by eight. I need everything I

793
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: can get. So, as it relates to this specific game,

794
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: it is a short week road hangover spot for Washington

795
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: losing the way they did to Utah going on the road,

796
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 1: and it's not a long flight to Corvallis from Seattle.

797
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: It's pretty sure. I've actually done Eugenis Seattle and it's

798
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: actually pretty scary. And the small plans that Alaska has

799
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: there is an opportunity for an all time great kung

800
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: fu cliche and student becoming the master Jonathan Smith and

801
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: Chris Peterson. And certainly Washington's offense has not been the

802
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: same since Jonathan Smith left. The Oregon State's defense is

803
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,279
Speaker 1: by far the worst thing in this game. But I

804
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:23,320
Speaker 1: cannot ignore the short week road and the hangover factor

805
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: as well. So I have this as a field goal

806
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: game for Washington. Yeah, I have this as like thirty

807
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 1: four to thirty one. I don't think Washington's as bad

808
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 1: as they've been against the better teams on their schedule

809
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: and Gallen Stanford, and I don't think Oregon State is

810
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: quite there defensively to beat at least an okay Washington team.

811
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 1: So they'll run a little bit on Washington because that's

812
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: what you're able to do. They have two good running

813
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: backs and Artavis Pierce and Jamar Jefferson. I hope everybody's healthy.

814
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: I did not look up Oregon State's current health, but

815
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 1: I think they're healthy. Yeah, Oregon States, wait for thirty

816
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: one Washington Shamar Smith, Nashan Wright and Kolby Taylor per

817
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 1: Don Best. I assume the master the master.

818
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I uh, they're my home dog of the week.

819
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 1: Actually, Oregon State, will you watch this game? You don't

820
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: sleep hoom dog of the week.

821
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 3: No, I'm not watching this game, but short week, weird

822
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: spot in Corvallis. The Beaver defense is capital be bad.

823
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,319
Speaker 3: But I don't know they score points. So I don't

824
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 3: think Washington's all that great. I've been saying that for

825
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,240
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks now. I don't think they win outright,

826
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 3: that's a bridge too far. But can they cover ten

827
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: at home.

828
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can. One of the weirder things that happens

829
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: at Oregon State games. I assume you have not been

830
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: to Corvallis No okay. On big third down plays or

831
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: big they need a stop plays on defense, they pipe

832
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: in the sound of a chainsaw, which almost doesn't make sense.

833
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: I understand how it's congruent to a beaver in you know,

834
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: cutting wood, eating wood, whatever, but I feel like the

835
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: chainsaw has replaced the beaver. So they're celebrating the technological

836
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: advancement that's putting beavers out of work and creating dams.

837
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with that. That's a

838
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: little bit just a local trib for you.

839
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 3: It's a little that's a little bit of a deep

840
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 3: cut for me. Dan, not gonna lie, no problem. What

841
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: is your order from Yakos? By the way, my order

842
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 3: from Yakos?

843
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're going in there, you want a quick dog,

844
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: what's what's your order?

845
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 3: I will usually get two to three Yaco dog, depending

846
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,359
Speaker 3: how hungry I am toppings. It's usually just the Yaco dog,

847
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 3: the hot dog with the special sauce on.

848
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: What is the special sauce? That's sort of like a

849
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: chili sauce interesting like a thinner or a sledgeier. And

850
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: I say that lovingly. I love a good sludgie chili.

851
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: Uh, it's sort of in between, actually, okay, a little

852
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 3: bit of a little bit of a little bit of

853
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: bee is it?

854
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: Is it like a squiggle to it? Or is it

855
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: a squiggle? Yeah, like a mustard or ketchup squiggle like

856
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: thin enough for a squiggle. No squiggle. It is like

857
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: it's a top, Yes it is. Okay, two or three

858
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: yacos dogs, So I assume they're not super No, they're

859
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: not gigantic, right, Okay, okay.

860
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 3: Next game three thirty ABC USC at Arizona State. Arizona

861
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 3: State a two point favorite once a year, Dan we

862
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,439
Speaker 3: gather to reflect upon Lin Kiffin getting fired on the tarmac. Yes,

863
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 3: at almost what six years now?

864
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: This one's a coin flip to me. This game.

865
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with ASU for two reasons. First Off,

866
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 3: the defense is pretty good. I don't think good enough

867
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 3: to fully stop USC, but good enough to force turnovers

868
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 3: and get Jayde and Daniels a few more bites at

869
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 3: the apple. And secondly, I think there's an opportunity here

870
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 3: for Ineno Benjamin to run the football and control some

871
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 3: of that time of possession for ASU. I think it's ugly.

872
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go twenty one to twenty Asu. I'll take

873
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 3: the points even though there's only two of them.

874
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 1: Okay, who's favored? So it's Asu? Excuse me. ASU's favored

875
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: by two, right, So you think they'll win by one?

876
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: So you're going to take You think it's a one

877
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: point game. You feel confidently enough in USC winning or

878
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 1: losing by a hair? Sure? Okay, it's reasonable enough. USC

879
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: still beat up and they're definitely in letdown, if not

880
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: body blow mode. You can play the sound. And also

881
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: it's it's possible. I don't know if I'm fully there,

882
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: but there's a potential bottom falling out of this USC

883
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: season in play? Right? Yeah? All we hear about is

884
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: will the new USC ad have permission to hire urban Meyer?

885
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: Will USC make a move sooner rather than later? Who

886
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: is James Franklin on the table? We saw James Franklin rumors?

887
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 1: Is he a potential candidate for USC? I saw I

888
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: think it was Pete Thamil from Yahoo said he is

889
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: who some people at USC If it's not gonna be

890
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 1: urban Meyer? Who makes a lot of sense interesting. Okay,

891
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,959
Speaker 1: USC struggled with a similar Colorado team. I would say

892
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: on the road that they have the potential for offense,

893
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: but there are definitely some deficiencies all over the field.

894
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: That was just a couple weeks ago, and that's a

895
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: beat up USC. With that struggle ASU weathered. They didn't

896
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: do a great job, but they weathered the Wazoo air

897
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: raid and came away with a win. I was more

898
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: because of Wazoo's defense than anything, but still they weathered

899
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,720
Speaker 1: it enough. I have ASU by six thirty one, twenty five.

900
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad situational spot for the Trojans.

901
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: I agree.

902
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 4: I do agree with that.

903
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have ASU covering here all right, rapid fire

904
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 3: through five other games. Yeah, three thirty ACC Network wake

905
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 3: Forest at Virginia Tech.

906
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 4: Wake Forest a two and a half point road favorite.

907
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: DAN. Last time they played, Frank Beemer raised his hands

908
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,360
Speaker 1: in glory about going to an overtime period at zero zero.

909
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 1: I believe that was a six to three double overtime thriller.

910
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 1: The last time they played, that's it was twenty fourteen,

911
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen, twenty thirteen. It's been years, plural years since

912
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: these two teams have played. I think it takes an

913
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: offense to take down Wake. Sort of takes a village,

914
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: and I don't think from what I saw from Virginia

915
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: Tech last week, even though they're at home, even though

916
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: it's in Lane Stadium. The thing that I am worried

917
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: about though I thought this line would be a little bigger.

918
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: It surprised me too. Worry some lines you're supposed to

919
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: steer into. But I can't justify a Virginia Tech offensive

920
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: explosion because I think Wake's gonna get there. So I

921
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: have waked by a touchdown after Virginia Tech last week

922
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 1: let their potential signature season win slip away. We agree

923
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: also at three point thirty ESPN two Louisville Louisville at Miami.

924
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 4: Miami is a six point favorite.

925
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 3: This is another one where I thought the line was

926
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 3: gonna be different, okay, and I think I like the

927
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 3: Miami defense too much. I really like this line for

928
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 3: the Caynes. I thought it was gonna be higher. So

929
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 3: I'm taking Miami.

930
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Miami as well. So for

931
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: similar reasons, it's a bit of a letdown spot after

932
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: the Florida State win that got Florida State's coach fired,

933
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 1: or at least was the final nail. Louisville just allows

934
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: too much through the air. And I know Miami has

935
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: been up and down offensively, relying on big plays, but

936
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,839
Speaker 1: they got him last week and they've gone the past

937
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: couple weeks, and so I think the Miami offensive line

938
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,399
Speaker 1: has improved. So I think just maybe that passing attack alone,

939
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: because Louisville's defense is improved, but it's still all that good.

940
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: It's you know, your daughter has an awful, awful boyfriend,

941
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: they break up and she starts dating somebody new and

942
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:31,839
Speaker 1: not great, but it's better than the old guy. So

943
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: Louisville has a ways to go. They're fun on offense,

944
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: but give me Miami.

945
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 3: Here three point thirty ESPN. We've got ky State on

946
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: the road at Texas. Texas is about a touchdown favorite here, Dan.

947
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 3: That feels like a lot to me. Why feels like

948
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 3: a lot to me because I think k State does

949
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 3: the fundamentals quite well and they've been pretty dept at

950
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 3: controlling the clock. Still not entirely sure that they're balanced

951
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: enough on offense, but I feel like Chris Kleiman has

952
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 3: been working all week in his fantasy fact after the

953
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 3: Oklahoma win two weeks ago, to try and come up

954
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 3: with a game plan here for this Texas game. So

955
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 3: I think Texas may win the game outright, but maybe

956
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:12,800
Speaker 3: like thirty four thirty.

957
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: I think it could be close. Okay, so let's not

958
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 1: judge Texas on their worst day, and they aren't getting healthier.

959
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how healthier they'll be in the secondary,

960
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: but this is not exactly a Kansas State team who

961
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: should be able to throw a ton. But I guess

962
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: we could have said that about Kansas. I have Texas close.

963
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 1: It's they're coming off a bye week, they're at home.

964
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: It's the second straight road game for Kansas State. However

965
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: much you believe in that being an obstacle, Kansas State

966
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: probably needs to win on the ground, and at least

967
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 1: the ground is a place where Texas is not a disaster.

968
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: It's not bad, right, it's fine. They're fine up front.

969
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: The secondary has been just a mess. You can pick

970
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 1: on them all day. So I'm going to go with Texas.

971
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the points, though, So I think

972
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: we agree. I have Texas like thirty three to thirty. Yeah,

973
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 1: we agree.

974
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:06,839
Speaker 3: Okay, seven PESPN Miszoo at Georgia. Georgia a seventeen point favorite. Here, Dan,

975
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 3: we've had this one circled for a long time.

976
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 1: I've again thoroughly erased the circle on Scandal on Saturday.

977
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a game that we had highlighted a

978
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 3: while back. It's always been a bit of an intriguing

979
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 3: matchup for me. I think George is way better than Miszoo,

980
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 3: let's get that out there. But this does feel like

981
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:36,720
Speaker 3: a weird game where somehow Miszoo covers the spread, keeps

982
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 3: it close even though Georgia wins. It sort of is

983
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 3: like a little bit damaging to the dogs.

984
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: Thirty seven thirty one Wyoming twenty one to fourteen, Vanderbilt

985
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: twenty nine to seven Kentucky. There is your road slate.

986
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: I know Zoo, I know in twenty ninety.

987
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 3: But yet a couple of weeks ago you said, yeah,

988
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 3: this is the game that they're going to play him tight.

989
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: I was a different guy a couple of weeks ago. Okay, okay,

990
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: so potential letdown spot for Georgia Miszoo though again nightmare

991
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: on the road. And this is a quote I hate

992
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: to see it was. I think it was Bury oed

993
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: and at least it was an Amazoo coach said if

994
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: we had to play tonight, it would not be Kelly

995
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: Bryant out there. He's not ready. That's a subversion of that.

996
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: That was a day and a half ago, and this

997
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: is Miszoo on the road. I don't see it. I

998
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: think even with it being a letdown spot, maybe Georgia

999
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: starts slow like they're prone to do. I have it

1000
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: thirty four to thirteen Dogs.

1001
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:45,479
Speaker 3: And finally seven pm ESPN two app State. App State

1002
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 3: lost a week ago. They are on the road at

1003
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 3: South Carolina. The line is only five in favor of

1004
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 3: South Carolina.

1005
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: Dan. Yeah, this is an interesting matchup, isn't it? A

1006
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: team that gave up forty one to Tennessee m HM.

1007
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 1: App State plays a tough brand of football. App State

1008
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: does play a tough brand of football. Their defense isn't

1009
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: necessarily was it where it was? Excuse me under Scott

1010
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: Sadderfield and his staff, But still fine, still pretty good.

1011
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1012
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: If South Carolina wins this game, it'll be on the ground.

1013
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: And that's what I think happens here. App State coming

1014
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: off of a loss, going back out on the Road. Yeah,

1015
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take South Carolina. I get South Carolina by

1016
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: a field goal. Oh, so you have You're gonna take

1017
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: those points, taking the points, getting South Carolina wins by

1018
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: seven late. All right, That is all I have in

1019
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 1: my list, Dan, you got anything else? H Wyoming at

1020
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 1: Boise State. I know you like to ignore the Mountain

1021
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 1: West because you have an East coast bias, but that

1022
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: should be quite fun. I think I have Boise here,

1023
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,319
Speaker 1: even after there's slow start in surviving a shootout against

1024
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: San Jose State. Just a tough place to win. A

1025
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: telemarketer from Wichita, Kansas is calling me right now. Otherwise, Ty,

1026
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: I have Duquine, Bob Morris fighting Bobbies both four and

1027
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: o in the Northeastern Conference, Kennesaw State, the Owls against

1029
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: New Hampshire four and one in the Colonial against James

1030
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: Madison five and oh in the Colonial the Underrated not underrated,

1031
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: but I have ignored this logo for far too long,

1032
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,279
Speaker 1: and they also happen to be good. But the the

1033
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: Ut Martin Skyhawks. Have you ever seen the Skyhawk logo?

1034
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 1: It's amazing, It's an eagle, but the eagle has like

1035
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: those aviator goggles resting on its head with the cool

1036
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: wing situation on either side. Great logo they're taking on

1037
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: Austin p They're four and one in the Ohio Valley

1038
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:45,240
Speaker 1: ut Martin five and one and now tie your week eleven, Yes,

1039
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: headliner forget LSU Alabama Yankee Stadium tie. You know this

1040
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: game is in Yankee Stadium, right, I know. I know

1041
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 1: Princeton at seven and oh, Dartmouth at seven and oh,

1042
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: and there is a line. I did find a site

1043
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: five dimes. I believe FCS lines the mouthis.

1044
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:03,280
Speaker 3: Oh.

1045
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 1: I regret that weird, We'd already regret it. Three and

1046
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: a half point favorites in what I'm calling because Dartmouth

1047
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: is a New Hampshire and Princeton is in New Jersey,

1048
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm calling it the Uper Bowl. I work shot that

1049
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: name a little clunky. I work shop. First of all,

1050
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: it's brilliant, and I spent more time on that on

1051
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: any game preview fair. I'm gonna take there's something in

1052
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:29,359
Speaker 1: the air in Dartmouth. There is something in the air,

1053
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: and they win on a hail Mary last week. I

1054
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 1: love Princeton. I love that offense. But the Dartmouth defense

1055
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: allowing ten a game. Give me the mouth these. I

1056
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: stand by it. Let's go mouth these. I'll do it

1057
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: double mouth. Ye a, God, regret that even more. On

1058
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:50,439
Speaker 1: that note, please drop that pulsating pounding, pure bliss, big

1059
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 1: stanky drum. Five.

1060
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 3: All right, we got three games on the docket here,

1061
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 3: starting lines for these, by the way, Oh okay, starting

1062
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 3: at High New Go ahead, you read them off then.

1063
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:03,560
Speaker 1: All right? Holy Cross the Crossaders at three and h

1064
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 1: in the Pat League, favored by nearly two touchdowns, thirteen

1065
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: points over the Eddies of Lafayette at noon.

1066
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,160
Speaker 4: I go Yettes, I go big, John Burke. You know

1067
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 4: where I stand.

1068
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,239
Speaker 1: As well, the true big noon Saturday game. Lee High

1069
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: at three and one at Bucknell one and two in

1070
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: the Pat League. But it looks I think Lehigh's is

1071
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 1: the Lee High. They're given four.

1072
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna go Lee High minus the points. I

1073
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,920
Speaker 3: don't usually like to take the road spot here, but

1074
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 3: Lee High has been playing pretty well last couple of weeks,

1075
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 3: So let's go Tyler. Monica had a big week last week.

1076
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 3: Let's go Mountain Hawks.

1077
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna go Mountain Hawks. Engineers, whatever, you gotta

1078
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 1: call him Fordham one and two at Colgate one three Colgate.

1079
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 4: I think it's one two in a row. Mm hmmm,

1080
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 4: two in a row since.

1081
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: Not winning any at all for a good chunk of

1082
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: the season. Well, they're one in three in the pat League,

1083
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: so one.

1084
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 4: And three in the pat League.

1085
00:55:57,960 --> 00:55:59,759
Speaker 3: But I think I think two wins overall, and I

1086
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 3: could be wrong about that. Okay, I'm gonna go Colgate

1087
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,479
Speaker 3: here to shock the world at home.

1088
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: The Bronx is the center of the college football universe,

1089
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: obviously with Yankee Stadium hosting the Nuper Bowl. And I

1090
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you noticed I did put a Nuper

1091
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,240
Speaker 1: Bowl sound You know I did not see the sound files.

1092
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 1: It's okay, we can we can play it another week

1093
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: or play it in the recap. There's something, there's something

1094
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: about the Bronx. I'm gonna take Fordham here. I'm gonna

1095
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: take the for the Fordham Rams. And by the way,

1096
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: if you are going to the Nuper Bowl, La Morada

1097
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: for Mexican food. La Morada m O r A d

1098
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: a La Morada really good. Wa Hawkan food Wahawcken Wahaka

1099
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: is an area. It's a state in Mexico. It's a

1100
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 1: very specific style if you like Molais, like we've talked about,

1101
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 1: No I do any ingredients, sure, yeah, okay Claudas oh man,

1102
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,480
Speaker 1: I wish that in an old blue Apron spot you

1103
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: had to read off that you could make Claudas t

1104
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: l a I udat.

1105
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:03,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1106
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: So I'm going in that direction also, Ty, before we stop,

1107
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,680
Speaker 1: Before we hit stop on the show, I'm actually going

1108
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,479
Speaker 1: on The Lead, which is a terrific show that Wondery does.

1109
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: It's a daily sports show. They partnered with the Athletic,

1110
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: interviewing different writers based on the story of the day.

1111
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: So if it's a big it's a big day for

1112
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: the Lakers, they talk to the whoever's covering the Lakers

1113
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: for the Athletic. If it's a big day for the

1114
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos for whatever reason, they talk to the person

1115
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: covering the Broncos. And so I'm going on the show

1116
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,959
Speaker 1: to talk about LSU Alabama. So I figured let's let's

1117
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: get to know the Lead a little bit more before

1118
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 1: we go, since they do a terrific job doing a

1119
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 1: daily sports show. Up stuff every morning of the week

1120
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: for your commute. Have a listen, and now before we

1121
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: go on very excited to take a take a nice look,

1122
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: take a dip into the pool of our friends at

1123
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: another Wondery show, and it's Kavitha Davidson and Alters. I said,

1124
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: Alters Honders kelto because what I did was I combined

1125
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: your names. But they host the Lead for both Wondery

1126
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: and The Athletic, and if you have not listened to

1127
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: the lead, First of all, shame on you. You are

1128
00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 1: doing a poor job with your digital audio consumption. Second

1129
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: of all, as you probably know, they do a daily

1130
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: sports show with The Athletic and Wondery, So every morning

1131
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:25,959
Speaker 1: you wake up, you get on your way to work

1132
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: and boom, there is an episode of the Lead. They're

1133
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: talking about the biggest sports stories and talking to experts

1134
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: at the Athletic. Not that they're not smart, but how

1135
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: can you know about everything in every single sport? You

1136
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: might as well lean on the experts. So whether it's

1137
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers, the Broncos, or Florida State or maybe the

1138
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild, I don't know. I don't know, and I

1139
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 1: would like to know. So Kavitha Onders, thank you for

1140
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: joining me.

1141
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for having us.

1142
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: Dan, what an intro. Oh my gosh, I've been working

1143
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: on that all day, so I think I did the

1144
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 1: concept justice. And part of the reason that I'm having

1145
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: you on besides that I'm just fans of the show,

1146
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: is also I'm appearing on the show to talk about

1147
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: LSU Alabama, so I figured we'd make this official. Go

1148
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: both ways. Tell me about how the lead works, how

1149
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: it operates.

1150
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 5: Well, it is as a heavy lift, but it's a

1151
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 5: lot of fun and essentially we just dive into the

1152
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 5: sort of the biggest and the most fascinating sports stories

1153
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 5: of the day, and like you mentioned, we're hitting all

1154
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 5: sports and all kinds of stories. We tend to do

1155
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 5: a lot of profiles of really interesting athletes or people

1156
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 5: of note in the world of sports, but we're really

1157
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 5: just kind of curious about what's happening out there and

1158
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 5: trying to find surprising and compelling stories and then to

1159
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 5: find the best people and the best sports reporters to

1160
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 5: help us tell them.

1161
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that that's you know, if you

1162
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 2: follow what we do over at the Athletic, you know,

1163
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 2: and I came over to the podcast from being a

1164
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 2: sports business reporter for the Athletic. You know, we've got

1165
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 2: so many reporters who have just been covering these teams

1166
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: for years, who are on the ground there, and you know,

1167
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: if something happens in New Orleans, we've got like four

1168
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 2: people that we can call on in New Orleans to

1169
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 2: come on and talk about that. And that's that's really

1170
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 2: cool to us.

1171
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: So it actually does bring up a question, how do

1172
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: you I know you're leaning on the experts, but you

1173
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: have to be able to ask smart questions. You have

1174
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 1: to no context to bring information out of these experts

1175
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 1: in various cities. How are you able to download content

1176
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: like I have to know about dozens, if not like

1177
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: over one hundred college football teams, and that's already a

1178
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: heavy lift. How do you jump across sports to fully

1179
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: understand context to bring good information out of your interviewees.

1180
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 5: Well, I'll answer that because the answer often is Kavitha.

1181
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 5: She is an encyclopedia of sports information, and we do

1182
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 5: lean on her quite a bit. But you know, it's

1183
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 5: also very much a team effort. We've got a team

1184
01:00:56,560 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 5: of producers who are amazing researchers who create prep sheets

1185
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 5: and outlines for us and prep us for interviews and

1186
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 5: talk through story ideas with us, and you know, research

1187
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 5: is a big part of what we do.

1188
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm just gonna jump in and say and

1189
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Ondrews, thank you. You know, like I've

1190
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 2: covered sports for six years now, and I'm a generalist, right,

1191
01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 2: Like I've covered all sports, so I have a pretty

1192
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 2: good baseline knowledge of, you know, anything that we could

1193
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: talk about, but you know, without going as deep as

1194
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 2: these experts go. You know, that's kind that kind of

1195
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 2: sets the foundation for you know, when we do these

1196
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: deep dives, and that also kind of helps for us

1197
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: that you know, we do have this incredible staff of

1198
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 2: people who not all of them are sports fans, so

1199
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: they can kind of filter out, you know, the stuff

1200
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 2: when I get way too much into my heads and

1201
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait, you remember when this happened in nineteen

1202
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 2: eighty seven. Nobody else remembers that. I don't either because

1203
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 2: I wasn't born.

1204
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 5: And I would also just add real quickly that you know,

1205
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 5: we are both we both love sports. We're both very

1206
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 5: curious about sports, but we try to get out of

1207
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 5: the way of the story as much as possible. Like

1208
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 5: the show isn't about us, it's about the storytellers that

1209
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 5: we bring on and it's about the stories themselves. So

1210
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 5: we're not out there to try and impress anyone or

1211
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 5: like validate ourselves with how much we know about sports.

1212
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 5: We're just there to try and help tell these really

1213
01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:15,360
Speaker 5: powerful stories.

1214
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Oh we have completely different ideologies then, because I love

1215
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: no one myself and taking some credit for everything I know, Well,

1216
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: maybe we do a little core of my being. Yeah.

1217
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: My final question is, and I know, Kavitha, this is

1218
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 1: probably more appropriate to you. I think you're a bigger

1219
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 1: college football fan, but do you have strong LSU Alabama thoughts?

1220
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,959
Speaker 1: You know going into the game? Is there a part

1221
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: of the narrative, the storyline of the game that you're

1222
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: particularly interested? Do you have a pick? Do you have

1223
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: a hot take? How are you landing with this matchup

1224
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: of the century?

1225
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think that we've bandied about

1226
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 2: the idea of the game of the century and how

1227
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 2: many times we have had the game of the century

1228
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 2: in the last tenth of a century. It's the best

1229
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see. First of all, is too a

1246
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,400
