Speaker 1: today's show, we have football, Dan, we have football. We

45
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: have actual football to discuss. It's an appetizer. Just eleven

46
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: games featuring FBS teams, but we will talk through approximately

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: one and a half of them in a little bit

48
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: more detail. Beyond that, we've got Nick Saban's new contract,

49
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: We've got Roostergate at South Carolina, We've got a host

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: of new starting quarterbacks, and plus we're talking plucky teams

51
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: and some bets. We're doing it all with you, the

52
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: Verballer hood and Dan Rubinstein. Just join in on the chat.

53
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: Let us know what your thoughts are as we go along,

54
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: and send us a speaker request, and perhaps we will

55
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: invite you up on stage to give your two cents

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: in the second half of the show or so. But Dan,

57
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: Daniel hit me, let's not bury the lead. Hey, what happened?

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: Here is what's going on. The games are starting, as

59
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: I mentioned a moment ago. Here are the games in

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: front of us. There are eleven. The big one I

61
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: have air quotes around that one is Nebraska versus Northwestern.

62
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: They are playing that one in Dublin, Ireland. That's gonna

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: be my pick of the week when we get to

64
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Tie versus the World the betting segment. We've also got

65
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: to Caine at Florida State Wyoming at Illinois, Florida A

66
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: and M at North Carolina and Vandy at Hawaii. They're

67
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: a host of other games here, Dan, but describe your emotion.

68
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's been a long, cold off season. Man,

69
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: how we feel in here going into week zero.

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 2: I wish we had Week zero on campus in the

71
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: big It would be really nice to have. Maybe this

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: is xenophobic, but like, I just don't care about playing

73
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 2: games internationally when it's so much fun to have games

74
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 2: where they're supposed to be played. That said, we're gonna

75
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 2: watch this game, part of it, at least together, because

76
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: we're preparing for the live show Saturday night, Northwestern Nebraska

77
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: in the Shadow in the Shadow tie of Ryan Field

78
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: and where Northwestern plays. So no, I'm listen. If there's football,

79
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: I'm into it. I'm ready, I'm excited, and I wish

80
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: it were a more consequential seeming matchup to kick off

81
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: the season. But all the same, let's ride.

82
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm checking the chat here just to see what

83
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: people are saying about their respective teams. Andrew chimes in,

84
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: just need this season to start so everyone can forget

85
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: about Colorado again.

86
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, that's tough that's tough. But listen, with Nebraska

87
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: in the news for playing the only major Ish Week

88
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: zero game, let us not forget that Colorado owns the

89
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: Huskers at least in modern times. That's good.

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Are you a Scott Frost believer?

91
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: Not especially?

92
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: No, No, what is a non Frost believer think? Feel? Say?

93
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Amongst his or her people?

94
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: We reflect on a three to nine season from last year,

95
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: we reflect upon his illustrious Bowl career at Nebraska. No,

96
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 2: I think he's fine. I think he's a pretty good coach.

97
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: I just think Nebraska's tricky and he doesn't seem like

98
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: he is fully the one to bring them back to

99
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: eight nine win territory. And that's okay. It's a difficult job.

100
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: It's more difficult than it used to be. But no,

101
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: I am not a big believer. Just when you cycle

102
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 2: through the assistance and coaches and lose what you do

103
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: to the portal, it just it doesn't shine a light

104
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 2: on a promising future.

105
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, Grant in the chat here, I think tends to

106
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: agree with you. He says Nebraska will go five and

107
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: seven at best improvement improvement. It would be an improvement.

108
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: It also would be a coaching vacancy in Lincoln five

109
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: and say, anything short of Bowl eligibility for Nebraska this

110
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: season I think is and probably more frankly, if they

111
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: don't get to seven wins or more, I could see

112
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: trev Albert deciding to pull the rip cord on that

113
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: one and go in a much different direction. Any of

114
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: these other games here, Oh, go ahead ahead please?

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 2: No, No, I was gonna say, none of these other games

116
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: really get my juices flowing. But my question to you

117
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: is if Nebraska is improved, but in that five and

118
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: seven type territory, forget about Scott Frost's job. It doesn't

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: really have any sort of meaningful impact on my life

120
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: either way. Northwestern, though playing a competitive game would be

121
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: fun for my life, do you think that that's in

122
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: the cards at all? As you look at a double

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: digit spread here? And I know you're gonna make your

124
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: pick later, but just in terms of what Northwestern I

125
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: suppose can be in theory, given recent history the best

126
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: of Northwestern, could we see that this week or even

127
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: this season for the Cats ahead of the Nebraska matchup?

128
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: Could we see it this season? Maybe? But a good

129
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: answer no, I mean, maybe anything's possible, But last season

130
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: was an unmitigated disaster. It was horrible. Yeah, what has changed?

131
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I asked it on the podcast. What what what has changed?

132
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 1: Tell tell me one thing that's changed for the better,

133
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: and then I'll subscribe to that train of thinking. But

134
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: I can't think of the years. Hi, it's a new year.

135
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: It's a new year. That's all you got.

136
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's sort of you know, you ditch the

137
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: rust and you get excited, you're healthier. And Nebraska, excuse me, Northwestern,

138
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: and even years tends to perform better.

139
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: We're doing the auburd thing, the every other year thing.

140
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, Now, I think Northwestern, the fact that

141
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: it is overseas, the fact that there is talent on

142
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball. I think their offensive skill

143
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: talent is at least interesting, especially in the backfield at

144
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: running back. I think obviously they might have the best

145
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: left tackle in the sport. They've got a good edge rusher,

146
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: they consistently develop good linebacker, good linebackers underfits, good defensive players.

147
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: You know. Overall, they lose maybe their best guy in

148
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: Brandon Joseph transferring to Notre Dame. But I think circumstantially

149
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: we could get an ugly game playing internationally. Week zero,

150
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 2: weird camp schedule starting a little bit earlier, all sorts

151
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: of different stuff involved in this game. I think we

152
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 2: could get sort of a game in the muck as.

153
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: A games Why not? Ross on the chat says, can't

154
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: wait to see Nebraska go win nineteen to ten over Northwestern.

155
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: You know it's coming, you know it is coming.

156
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 2: One and l against the spread.

157
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: That would be a cover. So, by the way, if

158
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: you want to pick games this week, heading over to

159
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: play rundboard dot com. That's our exclusive pickam game that

160
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: we're going to run all season long. You'll find more

161
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: information there on how all of it works as it

162
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: relates to college football. On just this slow and steady

163
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: build to Week one, we had a bunch of quarterback

164
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: announcements be made official, maybe the most notable of which

165
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: was Quinn viewers at Texas. I don't know if that's

166
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: any great surprise, but there were a host of others

167
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: that we can talk about very quickly here. Texas Tech

168
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: going with Tyler Shuck, Washington going with Michael Pennick junior,

169
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: the Indiana transfer. Pitt made it official with Kedons Slovis.

170
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: We have Drake May at North Carolina, Grant Wells, the

171
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: Marshall transfer for Virginia Tech, Chas Brewer, Hello, old friend

172
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: getting the start at Liberty, still playing college football? Yep,

173
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: as is Tommy DeVito. I e Tommy defiedo as we've

174
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: come to him here on the show and at you

175
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: see have a bit of a surprise Gus Melson opting

176
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: for John Reese Plumley.

177
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: Any thoughts, Yes, I think it's the fat Joe thing

178
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: for Texas, that it's Sark, and it's about trust and

179
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: how much does he place on the shoulders of Quinn yours.

180
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 2: They're a little bit more beat up than they'd like

181
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: to be at receiver. They're still looking for offensive line improvement.

182
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: He has not thrown a significant college football throw as

183
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: now a red shirt freshman transfer and so new two

184
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: systems in two years, and obviously all the natural talent

185
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,839
Speaker 2: it appears in the world. But what is Sark comfortable enough?

186
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Because you know, Hudson Card obviously has more experience and

187
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: more reps as a college quarterback, not as sly great

188
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: ones at all the all points, But is there trust

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: in Quinn viewers to run eighty percent of what Sark

190
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: wants to do on offense ninety percent sixty four percent.

191
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see they have I think Louisiana

192
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 2: Monroe the first week of the season. Yeah, they're not

193
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 2: going to be good, So it'll be interesting to see

194
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: what type of trust Sark has and Quinn Eewers in

195
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: this offense. If it's a lot of short stuff with

196
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: occasional pops deep, or if it's just this is our

197
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: offense and we chose him because we think he's going

198
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: to do the best job and there there are no

199
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: restrictor plates involved with Quinn Yewers. That's one of our

200
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: phrases of the summer. So that that to me is

201
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 2: fascinating with Texas because of who they have the second

202
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: week of the season.

203
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm actually kind of excited for Michael Pennick Junior at Washington,

204
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: and I emphasize in italic font bolded, underlined with quotes

205
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: kind of but perhaps as a Penn State alum, I'm

206
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: still a bit scarred from what Michael Pennix did diving

207
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: for the pylon beating Penn State opening weekend of the

208
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: weird twenty twenty COVID year. Michael PENICKX Junior has sort

209
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 1: of been in a slow and steady decline. Ever since then,

210
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: he's dealt with his fair share of injuries, which sucks

211
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: for him because he's a fun guy, of course, fun

212
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: guy to watch. But now he is reunited with calein

213
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: de boor out at Washington. Washington played a fairly decent

214
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: brand of defense last season. They could not get their

215
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: offense off the I'm using a lot of qualifiers here.

216
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: It's okay, continue, I'm enjoying it.

217
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Washington fired their coach for a reason. But yeah, all

218
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying here is I'm curious to see what Michael

219
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: Penis can give them. If he can give them some

220
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: added dynamic in that offense and make it a little

221
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: bit more flexible, a little bit more agile. You know,

222
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: it was sort of a John Donovan thing last year

223
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: where it was very predictable and you knew what was coming.

224
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: And I think Michael Penix can help them break free

225
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: of that mold from last season. Very curious to see

226
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: what happens there. Also, Keaton Slova's have pitt. You know,

227
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: I feel like there aren't enough people talking about Keaton Slovas.

228
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's going to be this year's Kenny

229
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,439
Speaker 1: Pick and I'm not saying he's going to be this

230
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: year's anything, but I feel like even losing Jordan Addison,

231
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: even despite that, at Pitt, the cupboard doesn't bear. There's

232
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: a good line, there's a good stable of running backs,

233
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: the defense is always solid for patn Ordoozy. Keaton Slovas

234
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to have a really nice year. I

235
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: just feel like we haven't talked at all about it.

236
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 1: Wait till we get to next week. By the way,

237
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: when we do this show next week, it's going to

238
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: be in the run up to the backyard brawl between

239
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: West Virginia and Pitt. I'm telling you right now, I'm

240
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: going in on Pitt minus six and a half. I

241
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: think it's six and a half now, But I feel

242
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 1: really confident about Pitt's opportunity in that game to come

243
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: out and start out hot.

244
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 2: What you are, Ty, I haven't been able to put

245
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: my finger on it for a long time. What you

246
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 2: are is you're somebody who would make for a wonderful

247
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 2: person to run an orphanage. You are you are such

248
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 2: a big lever in the the broken, the abandoned. All

249
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: of these quarterbacks, be it Keaton Slovis or Michael Pennix

250
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 2: or Tyler Schuck or all these guys. You're like, I

251
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: don't know, Islan quarterbacks, Yes you are. There's something about

252
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: you that you are just a believer. You want to

253
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: you want to raise everybody up. And I admire that

254
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: in you. I just have watched these guys play college football,

255
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: and if they're not getting hurt, they are flashing excitement

256
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: for a quarter or for a half or for a

257
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: game in a season, and then not doing it for

258
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: very much longer. And I like Pitt, I like Washington. Fine,

259
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: it's great when Washington's good for the Pac twelve, my

260
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: chosen home conference. But I just I there's a there's

261
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 2: a dependability issue with all of these guys that you

262
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: seem to find your way to. You talk yourself into

263
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: Sean Clifford every offseason.

264
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: I do. It is something that I do.

265
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so Keaton Slovias flashed early on in his

266
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: career at USC what really stru uggled in bigger moments

267
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: and as his career kept moving forward. And maybe it's

268
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: a health thing for some of these guys. I just

269
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: I admire your optimism, your glass fulliness. But look, Washington

270
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 2: has a couple of interesting receivers maybe, but that room

271
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: got hit pretty hard. The offensive line seems like it'll

272
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 2: be decent. It's obviously experienced, but I don't think they

273
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: have much in the way of this year plan to

274
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: be exciting. I just I think it's it's August talk

275
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: from Tye.

276
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: August talk from Tye. Yeah, thank you. That can be

277
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: our new segment speaking of interesting combinations. Hey want to

278
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: put an inconsistent, injury prone quarterback in a pass happy system.

279
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: Texas Tech is your team. Texas Tech is your team.

280
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuck gets the nod there, all right. Elsewhere As

281
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: we plod through our headlines, or at least our main

282
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: talking points. Here as we start things off, Nick Saban

283
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: got a new contract, a big one. He's the highest

284
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: paid coach now in college football. Again, not really too

285
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: big of a surprise on that front. Should we talk

286
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: about the rooster?

287
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: Do you have a sound? Do you have an ability

288
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: to crow yourself? What do we what are we introducing

289
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 2: this rooster segment with?

290
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 1: Here's I'm introducing this rooster segment with several quotes from

291
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: the article posted on the State dot Com. The State

292
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: dot com it's a news outfit out of Columbia South Carolina.

293
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: Quote South Carolina's live rooster mascot. It is getting a

294
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: new name. Quote. A new alias for the mascot, formerly

295
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: known as Sir Big Spur, will be announced sometime between

296
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: now and when the game Cocks kick off their season

297
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: on September the third against Georgia State. Here is the

298
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: TLDR DAN. The reason for the new name is twofold.

299
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: First off, the school had an agreement with the people

300
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: that own the bird and it expired, so there's some

301
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: legalies there. Secondly, the old owners of the I'd read

302
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: this five times, still trying to understand this. The old

303
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: owners of the bird have some sort of dispute now

304
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: with the new owners of the bird. I don't know

305
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: how they transferred ownership of said bird, but that's probably

306
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,439
Speaker 1: a different article. The old and new owners are arguing

307
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: over whether or not to trim up parts of the

308
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: bird's head.

309
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: Oh geez, the comb Yeah, okay.

310
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're arguing over how they want to handle I

311
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: guess the styling of the bird. The lawyers got involved.

312
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: They also have now said that the name's got to change.

313
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 1: Here are some of the options, per Thestate dot Com. Okay,

314
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: he's been a big deal on the internet all day.

315
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: It's a college football This is a good story. Trending

316
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter earlier today was a name cock Commander, presented

317
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: without further comment.

318
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: Is that's your self given nickname in tenth grade?

319
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: Continue also the general Captain Kluck Kluck Doris, mister chicken scratch,

320
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Cooper kickin chicken Brewster cock a doodle dude, which

321
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: is the worst one. And then my favorite, at least

322
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: on this list, Marco Poyo.

323
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 2: That's good. Maybe mispronounced more often than not in Columbia,

324
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,719
Speaker 2: South Carolina. Maybe I'm wrong. Okay, here is my general

325
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: sentiment about college football mascots, and then I think we

326
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: should zoom in to the situation with the rooster with

327
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: the cock in South Carolina. Sure, of course, cock Commander

328
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: is wonderful because I'm a big believer in the way

329
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 2: that Texas A and M treats revily like a ceremonial

330
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: bit of authority, right almost like overseas you go to England,

331
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 2: you go to Spain, there are kings and queens and

332
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 2: dukes and everything like that. It's a largely ceremonial I'm

333
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: kind of talking out of my ass I don't fully

334
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: know the situation, but I think live college football mascots

335
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: should have ceremonial, if not military themed authority, not true jurisdiction,

336
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: but some authority. Which is why I like the Cock

337
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: in the way that I think college football is so

338
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 2: ridiculous that a rooster should be on hand for state

339
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: Senate hearings, like there should be something to this, like

340
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 2: the So the cock commander is great. This is what

341
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: I have right down here. Okay, I have Dwayne the

342
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: flock Johnson. I have Chandler Wing. I have feather Locklear

343
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 2: beeck Arthur Rooster Cockburn that goes back to the seventies,

344
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: an old John Wayne movie. But you could play because

345
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: I know some people don't want to hear Sandstorm anymore

346
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,919
Speaker 2: with South Carolina, so you could play John Wayne. I

347
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: have Talent Torriero if you remember Laguna Beach. Sure, of course,

348
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: I have the director of Combland Security, obviously the dispute

349
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: being over the rooster's cone. I have Koch Lesnar. I

350
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 2: have spur Ian McKellen, which I like a lot because

351
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: it still has spur and you can play Gandalf.

352
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: You shall not pass. It gives it some gravitas doesn't

353
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: it s.

354
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: There are some rights issues with Spurri and McKellan. You

355
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: would have to get certain amounts of permission.

356
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: They could work that out, though. I mean, they're a

357
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: fine international institution.

358
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: I've seen him give interviews and he seems like he

359
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: has a pretty great sense of humor.

360
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: If you told him that they're going to name a

361
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: bird after him, a mascot after him, he'd be down

362
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: with that.

363
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: I also, I agree now this last one that I

364
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 2: have down here, I don't know if it's fully appropriate

365
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: because it leans into chicken as food, which we're celebrating

366
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: ceremonial jurisdiction here, so it doesn't fully work for me,

367
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 2: but I just wanted to get it in here. General

368
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: thighsand hour. Now, I don't think it's appropriate, and I

369
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: understand after me saying that Spotify wishing to fold its

370
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 2: product because it's that bad. But I think there's something

371
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: to this list, Ty, Yeah, it was your favorite Spurry

372
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 2: and mccollin or feather Locklear.

373
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: Feather Loocklear I think is probably ace in the rotation.

374
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm still I think Marco Poyo is criminally underrated here

375
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: on this list of ten. Granted, I think You bring

376
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: up a good point, because for a good long time

377
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was Poyo. Yeah, Marcolo, Marco Polo. Sure,

378
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: that's great. I don't get it. I get it now,

379
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: and I think that one's underrated. Cock a doodle dude

380
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't be anywhere near this. Kluck Norris is a little

381
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: too specific, but it's not bad, right, mister chicken scratch,

382
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: I mean that's it was this amateur hour. I think

383
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: I go Marco Poyo or feather Loocklear.

384
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: Well, the only problem with feather Lockley, of course, is

385
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: feather Locklear is a woman, and a rooster is by

386
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: definition not a female chicken, So I don't know like

387
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: and that same bloas for beek Arthur. I get that.

388
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: So I'm going with Spurry and McKellen. But you can

389
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: talk me into general fivehs an hour.

390
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: Let us know in the chat what South Carolina should

391
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: name its rooster. Yeah, apparently we will find out at

392
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: some point before Week one kicks off, and maybe we

393
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: can spend some more time talking about it at that

394
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: point in time. But the Internet has been a buzz

395
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: with this all day. This is, of course, one of

396
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: those college football things that makes college football unique, right.

397
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: I just think we need to incorporate a level of

398
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: royalty to American college football live mascots that we don't

399
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: have that King and queen. We don't have that level.

400
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: We don't have monarchies and things of that nature, thank God.

401
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 2: But it would seem uniquely American to tie ceremonial status

402
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: to live mascots. That like if we had a bulldog

403
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 2: in Georgia, if we had a Colorado buffalo, right, if

404
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 2: we had different animals in royal positions. It kind of

405
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: tears down without saying it explicitly, the rest of the

406
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: royal universe and the rest of the royal world that

407
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 2: when you look at the current positions of royalty, you

408
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: include Spurry and mckellany in that conver station. So I'm

409
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 2: just saying we need to fully lean into what texts

410
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: A and M has done with Revelle, that they've elevated

411
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: her to a position of ceremonial authority, and instead of

412
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: making fun of Texas A and M for that, I

413
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: think by the way I think I saw he was

414
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 2: our friend Jane Cousten from New York Times. I think

415
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 2: she mentioned that Revelle has a phone number. I believe

416
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: on the Texas A and M circuit breaker whatever. I

417
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 2: think we need to lean into that everywhere.

418
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,119
Speaker 1: I just remember when Jimbo got hired at Texas A

419
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: and M.

420
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: There was oh yeah, the message board posts.

421
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: The message board posts were like, well, what is Revelle?

422
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: How does Revelle get along with exactly?

423
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: Sure, I think it's a worthwhile question and we can

424
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: spread it throughout this great land. What does Ramses think

425
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: of bringing back mac Brown? It's sort of like a

426
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 2: Groundhog's day situation where we have to we have to

427
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 2: create elaborate tests to gate the opinion of the live mascots.

428
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: All right, well weigh in on the chat. Let us

429
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: know your rooster name, let us know where you stand

430
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: on the live mascot dilemma that we've presented here of it,

431
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: and of course you can send us a speaker request.

432
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: Just hit that button down below, got a little hand

433
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: on it, white button. Let us know if you'd like

434
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: to chat. We'll get to you a little bit later

435
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: on in the show. We did also advertise another series

436
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: of topics here. Yeah, something that is near and dear

437
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: to our hearts on the solid verbals, something that we

438
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: make a fair amount of hay with every year throughout

439
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: the college football season. We're not talking about the best teams,

440
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: dam I'm not talking about ten and two or nine

441
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: and three, or eight and four or even seven and five.

442
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about definitively average teams who consistently put up

443
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: a fight in their matchups against better opponents, constantly threaten upsets.

444
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein, we were talking about frisky team, Mister frisky,

445
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: smooth silk one from the outside goes straight to the lead,

446
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: real camp, do you know that mister Frisky was actually

447
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: the name of a horse. It ran and won, I believe,

448
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 1: in sixteen straight horse races back in nineteen ninety, including

449
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: the Santa Anita Derby, and it led. It led for

450
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: about a turn and a half two turns at Churchill

451
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Downs before being overtaken back in nineteen ninety. Nice.

452
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: I learned that this morning, Risky.

453
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: I learned that this morning. So what we're looking for

454
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: is frisky teams, Teams that just again, maybe they go

455
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: five and seven, maybe they go six and six, but

456
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: they're just a pain in the ass. They constantly threaten upset.

457
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: And why don't we start off talking about where we

458
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: stand on this, which teams rise to that frisky level

459
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: for you and I. I will actually keep it thematic

460
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: here and I will start us South Carolina.

461
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Good call.

462
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: I was about to say, continue South Carolina. Speaking of

463
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: plucky Shane Biemer, I think has brought a certain element

464
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: of pluck to Columbia South Carolina. Of course, they won

465
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: the Duke's Mayo Bowl. He's still recovering from the concussion

466
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: he got after having that mayonnaise dumped on his head.

467
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 2: Yep.

468
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: But South Carolina in the offseason picked up some help

469
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: in the portal with Spencer Rattler, Austin Stagner coming over

470
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: from Oklahoma, Christian beal Smith, the running back from Wake

471
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Forest comes down. There are others who have joined the team.

472
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: The problem was South Carolina last year, in addition to

473
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't have any guys and they

474
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: were starting Gas at quarterback. The line was really bad.

475
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: And you know, it's one of those deals where, hey,

476
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: they're all back this year. They got to be better, right,

477
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: wink wink, nudge nudge. I don't know if that's a

478
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: good thing. The returning production stat has often lied to

479
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: us in college football and in other aspects of pro football,

480
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: as well, But you have to believe that Shane Beemer

481
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: with his very targeted focus on trying to make this

482
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: team better in the spots where it needs to He

483
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: knows it's an incremental build. But this was a team

484
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: last year that played hard in spots. They of course

485
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: got blown out in some spots as well, but they

486
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 1: won a bowl game. And I think we bring a

487
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 1: guy like Spencer Rattler to town. He provided he can

488
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: stay upright and healthy, that gives them a shot. He

489
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: is a dynamic quarterback. He should be one of the

490
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in college football. I think that gives I

491
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: think so yeah. I don't think it just fades away

492
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: that quickly. It was a bad spot for him at Oklahoma.

493
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: It didn't work out. Now he's starting a new I

494
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: don't know if this was his first choice, but South

495
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: Carolina it is, and I think he gives him a

496
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 1: shot to be plucky.

497
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: So I looked at teams and I don't disagree. I

498
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: think that's it's a good choice. I think it's still

499
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: kind of an uphill battle, but I think the buy

500
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: in is pretty strong in clumb especially with Sir Spurry

501
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: and McAllan coming in. I'm gonna hammer that all year long.

502
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be in even more insufferable than usual. Also,

503
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 2: you want me to stay in the SEC? Do you

504
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: want me to go elsewhere? I think South Carolina is

505
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: a decent kitchen sink team.

506
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: And who is frisky? Man? I want to know who's frisky.

507
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's SEC or Mountain West or wherever.

508
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: Who's frisky?

509
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 2: I have Illinois in this category. Playing this week against

510
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 2: the the Wyoming Cowboys. Yes, in uh in champagne Illinois.

511
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Illinois is interesting because there's an identity, there's buying. It's

512
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 2: built around the run. I'm not a big Tommy to

513
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: Vito guy. I'm sure you must be running your orphanage

514
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: for forgotten quarterbacks. But Illinois to me, with receiver development,

515
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 2: with running back development, I think they're taking steps in

516
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 2: the right direction. And as we saw last year at

517
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: times beating Minnesota, beating Penn State, that they can get

518
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: their act together. They can get up week to week,

519
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 2: even knowing they're not gonna win eight nine games. There's

520
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: a certain amount of belief within that program that they're

521
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 2: going to play hard every week that they are bought into.

522
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: Brett Bulama that you know, Ryan Walter is going to

523
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: run I think a good defense continually for the Ali

524
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 2: and I so I'm good with Illinois as a frisky team.

525
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: These are all teams that I picked that have a

526
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 2: win total over under of six and a half or

527
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: fewer when I looked at with Vegas. So I'm looking

528
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: at what Vegas is evaluating as teams that could qualify

529
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 2: in that frisky territory. Yeah, so yeah, I have Illinois

530
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: there also from the big time, I have Maryland there. Oh,

531
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: it's just it's somebody that could do a couple of

532
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: interesting things. And with Talia Tongo Bloa, the best of

533
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: Talia that remember a couple of years ago, maybe we're

534
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 2: talking a few years ago now, because it was an

535
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: urban Meyer era Ohio State team where Ohio State barely

536
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: survived against Maryland. It was like a fifty two to

537
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 2: forty nine game that was largely on the ground for Maryland.

538
00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: I just think that they are they can get back

539
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: to occupying that territory. And I think now this many years,

540
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: a few years into the Mike Loxley era, that they

541
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 2: can threaten a Bowl appearance.

542
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: How about that threaten a Bowl appearance? By the way,

543
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: I like that as we talk about frisky teams, you

544
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: make a point of the teams that can quote get

545
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: it up week in and week out. Thank you, Dan.

546
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: Let's move on.

547
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: Listen, of course, I mean the cock commander.

548
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the show. It's the show, it's not us.

549
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 2: What about Virginia with their national championship aspirations with Tony Elliott, He's.

550
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: Got a plan, He's got a twelve month plan to

551
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: get in the Pasadena you heard him.

552
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: I can't speak on Virginia just because it's a new coach,

553
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 2: So I don't have a concept of what Virginia is

554
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: attempting to do because we just haven't seen this iteration

555
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: of the who's So I don't have a fully formed

556
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 2: opinion on the friskiness quote of Virginia. I don't know. Well,

557
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 2: if you do well.

558
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: But they've got Brendan Armstrong, right, and maybe it's continuing

559
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: the theme of the quarterback at the top of the

560
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: list here, but Brennan Armstrong's back. He's got a decent

561
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: cast of guys to throw two out wide. He's got

562
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: no line in front of him, which that could produce

563
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: some interesting results. Yeah, that could be. That could be

564
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: when they're saying who, they're wondering who is blocking right.

565
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: That is where Virginia's at this season. It looks like

566
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: there's also a nice little rebuild on defense for Tony Elliott,

567
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: but their defensive coordinator comes over from Air Force, where

568
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: he did more with the less. So I don't hate

569
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: that situation. The schedule's backloaded, so maybe they'll have a

570
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: chance to get their sea legs before things really get tough.

571
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: But I just feel like with Brennan Armstrong, he gives

572
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: you a chance. He's been in that situation now for

573
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: a couple of years running where you know. I mean,

574
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: look at his numbers from a year ago. It was

575
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: all on the arm of Brennan Armstrong to see what

576
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 1: he could do with this offense. The defense did him

577
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: no favors. But I think if given the opportunity, Virginia

578
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: could again be one of those plucky teams.

579
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: What about Auburn, there's a certain degree, there's a certain degree.

580
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: Listen to me, listen, hear me out. I think the

581
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: defense will be fine. It looks like Zach Calzada is

582
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: not in perfect health and not really running away with

583
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: that quarterback job, so it could be a TJ. Finley,

584
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: a Robbie Ashford, whoever. But I'm not talking myself into

585
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: good Auburn tile Let's be clear. But what if we

586
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: heard all the off season long about Auburn, you know,

587
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 2: the Brian Harrison stuff, and oh my god, they're gonna collapse,

588
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: it's a disaster on the planes. Is there a better

589
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 2: situation for a wild card element, for a team to

590
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: emerge that they're just going for broke? What do they

591
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: have to lose? They're already seen as an afterthought, They're

592
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: already seen as ashen. The Auburn Tigers just throwing it

593
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: against the wall. It's a kitchen sink team that will exist.

594
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: And this is Is this not Auburn's actual DNA as

595
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: a program to ruin somebody's season even when they're not

596
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: especially good. It seems like it's fully in their DNA.

597
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 1: Tie counterpoint, Okay, counterpoint, If I could just one second, please,

598
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: did Brian Harson not have an opportunity to go for

599
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: broke against his biggest rival with a quarterback on one

600
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: leg last season?

601
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: Did he not have that opportunity? I cannot hear you

602
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 2: talk about the past anymore. That's that's old shit. Tie

603
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: you know that.

604
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: You're bringing the maguire not here to talk about the

605
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: past thing up. That's fine, that's fine. But Dan, he

606
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to go for broke and he kicked

607
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: the extra point. So whatever you did in the offseason

608
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: to convince yourself that that version of Brian Harson is gone, Like,

609
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: maybe he's a rebel now having stared untimely Firings in

610
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: the face.

611
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: New coordinators, new team, new year, No Bonnicks, No, you know,

612
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 2: I mean TJ. Fin They might be starting. But I'm

613
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: just saying, right now, Ty, we're talking frisky.

614
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: Frisky, We are talking frisky.

615
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that ole miss goes ten and two again, but

616
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: they lose by twenty to Auburn. Randomly, you don't think

617
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 2: Auburn can occupy that space f in the sec You

618
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 2: can disagree, that's fine. I'm just telling you why I'm

619
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: bought into the friskiness on the planes.

620
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: I could definitely see a frisky ir version of Auburn

621
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: if TJ. Finley is healthy and the guy and looked

622
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: better than he did last year. But we'll see. How

623
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: about here my last one here before we get to

624
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: my bed of the week. Okay, what do you think

625
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: about ASU baby Arizona State. But why so?

626
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: You can argue, and I'm sure you will, that there

627
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: are similarities with Arizona State and Auburn, But ASU under

628
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: Herm Edwards. Herm Edwards doesn't have a track record of

629
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: college football coaching success in the way that Brian Harrison does.

630
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: So I'm curious with so many guys leaving, just like

631
00:34:54,560 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 2: at Auburn, I'm curious the vibes at Arizona State. It

632
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: seem to be more pronounced in terms of this coaching

633
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 2: staff doesn't know what they're doing. There's a full abandonment

634
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 2: and quit within this program. I don't think the vibes

635
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: exist like that at Auburn. But tell me why you

636
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 2: are buying extremely low on the sun Devils as Frisk.

637
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Everyone hates Arizona State because it feels like the program

638
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 1: is collapsing under its own weight. To be fair, it

639
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: might actually be collapsing under its own weight. That could

640
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 1: actually be a thing that is occurring right now at present.

641
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: But as I said when we did our previews, I

642
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 1: think there's enough talent on the roster to be plucky.

643
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: I think there is enough meat on the schedule to

644
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: potentially start two and three, and then as it eases

645
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit, that's when ASU gets plucky. Now,

646
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,720
Speaker 1: if they start two and three, which I think looks

647
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: probable based on the schedule, is Herm Edwards still there

648
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: to be determined? But we we've also seen the circumstance

649
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: where the coach gets fired and the team plays better.

650
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, as we get through the month

651
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: of September into mid October with Arizona State, as we

652
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 1: get through this murderer's row of Oklahoma State in week two,

653
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: and Utah and week four, and then a road game

654
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: at USC the week after, we get into the latter

655
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: half of October, we're talking Stanford, Colorado, UCLA probably still

656
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 1: doesn't play defense, an unknown Wazoo team Oregon State which

657
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: may also not play defense this season, and then a

658
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 1: road game to close out the year the course rivalry

659
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: game Territorial Cup against Arizona. So it's much easier the

660
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: deeper you get into this thing, and I could just

661
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: I could see it. I can envision that future for

662
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: Arizona State where they start in a really poor fashion

663
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: but then get it together and actually achieve some level

664
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: of respectability.

665
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: So which game do you foresee them being the sun

666
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: devils making the toilet that they have by your own description,

667
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 2: no business hanging with this far superior team. But because

668
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,959
Speaker 2: of whatever buy in identity, what have you, they either

669
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 2: upset them or come quite close to upsetting them. Is

670
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: that Ucla? Where is that game being play?

671
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I think Ucla is at home. That one's in in Tempe,

672
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: Ucla is what I was going to say. First. I

673
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: could totally see them going to Oklahoma State early and

674
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: being weirdly close in that football game. I'm not banking

675
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: on that, by the way, but they have three games

676
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: early against top fifteen teams again, Oklahoma State Week two,

677
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: Utah in week four, and then the very next week

678
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: on the road at USC. There could be an opportunity there, okay,

679
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 1: for them to be plucky. Let us know in the chat,

680
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: by the way, who your plucky team is. Send us

681
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: a speaker request. As you know you just hit that

682
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: hand button down below. We want to get your take

683
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: on this. I see Peyton is waiting. Thank you, sir

684
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: for hanging with us here. We will get to you momentarily.

685
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: I did want to if it's okay, should we do

686
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: tie versus the world? Here is that.

687
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I I'll give you one more wild card

688
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: if I may for for frisky plucky. I don't know

689
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 2: what you decided on. You like both of those adjectives.

690
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: How about the bulls of usf oh yeah.

691
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: Upgrade at quarterback hitting the portal hard, a lot of

692
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: local kids from the area who transfer in from other

693
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: Power five programs, being completely slept on on both sides

694
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: of the ball because of the depths to which they

695
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: fell these past couple of years. You know, last year

696
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: obviously being year one of Jeff Scott, but the you know,

697
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: the Charlie Strong era was.

698
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: It was rough.

699
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 2: So a team that has upgraded presumably upgraded talent and

700
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 2: is just being completely slept on. I just I think

701
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 2: within the American the changes within the American at the top,

702
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 2: you know, the quarterbacks that have been lost, the you know,

703
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: the NFL talent that's been lost all over. Then I'm

704
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,720
Speaker 2: just saying they're creeping up. They're creeping up, not quickly,

705
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 2: but creeping Okay, that's it.

706
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: By the way, Nate's posted a gift in the chat

707
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: which is very disturbing. I don't know if this is

708
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: a man smearing mayo on his bear Chest.

709
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 2: I like that talking about Mayo ball, talking about Shane.

710
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: I like the intensity. Neate, It's not necessarily what I

711
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: was hoping you.

712
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 2: Are you a Mayo person? Are you a Mao human?

713
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm a Mao human. No, what's that mean?

714
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 2: Are you into eating mayonnaise in.

715
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 1: I'm the guy who goes to Wallah and selects a

716
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: little bit of Mayo.

717
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: Easy Mayo, easy man.

718
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get to.

719
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: I've grown to appreciate.

720
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to our betting segment. All right, you know it,

721
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: you love it, You've come to embrace it. It's the world,

722
00:39:51,880 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: the world, the world. We mixed in little icelandic there, Dan.

723
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:02,279
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoyed that.

724
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: I did enjoy that. I would happily go to Iceland

725
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: with you, Ty, not with our spouses, just you and

726
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:11,919
Speaker 2: I as a getaway together, hitting some hot springs and

727
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 2: in and outside of Raikovic. I'm in.

728
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 1: So, as you know, we I'm just gonna move past that.

729
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: As you know. We released an episode this morning in

730
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: which I locked up Nebraska minus thirteen. I had a

731
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: chance to sit with that now, to really think about it,

732
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: to be with my thoughts, to pick apart that game

733
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: in a little bit more detail, And so I did

734
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: want to, if it's okay with you, please, I did

735
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: want to say that double barrel lock of the week,

736
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: give me the Huskers. Here, I am reaffirming my commitment

737
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 1: to Nebraska minus thirteen. Scott Frost's pressure cooker all off season.

738
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: He upgraded the offense. He's apparently making guys puke at practice. Now.

739
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: He needs this, he wants this. He's kind of like

740
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:05,240
Speaker 1: the over zealous dad from Little Giants, you know, Spike's dad.

741
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: Of course, he's a little bit like that, dude. They

742
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: played this game last year, Nebraska one fifty six to seven.

743
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: There is nothing in any of our homework, nothing to

744
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: suggest that Northwestern is forty nine points better or thirty

745
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 1: six points better. For the purposes of covering this bet.

746
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: The only argument I've seen anyone make for Northwestern is, hey,

747
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: you know it's week zero in this games in Ireland. Yeah,

748
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: that doesn't feel like a reason to me, unless Pat

749
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald is growing an offense after kissing the Blarney stone,

750
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: like I don't. I'm out. I'm out on the Cats here,

751
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: I'm out on the Cats in this game. I'm out

752
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 1: on the Cats all year. I don't want to be

753
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Debbie Downer about Northwestern. But give me a reason, Dan,

754
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: I just you know the Tracy Chapman. What is the

755
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: one reason that you would go Northwestern here and not

756
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 1: a Nebraska team that you know really wants and needs

757
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 1: this game?

758
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: Oh, because they want it. I want a lot of things, Tie,

759
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 2: and I don't get a lot of things. Oh, but

760
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 2: Nebraska wants to win this guy, I think Northwestern wants

761
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 2: to win this game. Here's my question, Ty, we don't

762
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 2: know anything about these teams. Nobody knows anything about anything,

763
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: and then we see football teams and then we have

764
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 2: a better concept for them. Is there a place that

765
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 2: this game could be played in that you would say,

766
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: you know what? Here is my thought, This is what

767
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 2: I am confident in about both of these teams. But

768
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 2: the game is being played in blank and that worries me.

769
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: That gives me the willies about this pick. So maybe

770
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: it's not Ireland, maybe it's not Dublin. But if they

771
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: were playing in Bradislava, if they were playing in Buenos Aires,

772
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 2: is there a destination in the way or like a

773
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: specific place in a destination in the way that I

774
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: think we had Did we have a college basketball game

775
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: on an aircraft carrier. That is there a city in

776
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: which this game is played at a locale where you're like, look,

777
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 2: I'm confident Nebraska is way better, but it weirds me

778
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,919
Speaker 2: out that they're playing, you know, at the very top

779
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 2: of Norway.

780
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could play it on the moon, Dan where

781
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: where gravity is one sixth as powerful as Earth. That

782
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 1: would disrupt the excuse me, the Nebraska passing game and

783
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: perhaps keep this one a little bit more on the ground.

784
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: But no, I'm I'm out on Northwestern. I think that

785
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: Nebraska really has an axe to grind here and this

786
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: is their opportunity to really grab that stage in week zero.

787
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: It is clearly the biggest game in week zero. I

788
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: think we have to we have to, you know, we

789
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: have to kind of reward that and Nebraska the benefit

790
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: of the doubts. So my first bet here, my lock

791
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: is is Nebraska minus the third team. I am also

792
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: going to go Wyoming plus eleven. This one also for

793
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: a guy Chris and the chat we talked earlier, I

794
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: think we breezed through the fact that Tommy DeVito is

795
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for Illinois. One more tour of duty,

796
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 1: one last job as starting quarterback. There was a reason

797
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: we called him Tommy Defto when he was at Syracuse

798
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: because we're bad people. Tie that we maybe bad people.

799
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: We may be bad people. But he also was not

800
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: what we would consider a dependable, winning quarterback. So what

801
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: we know about Wyoming is that they are still searching

802
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: for an offense, but it seems as if they have

803
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: a pretty good hold on defense. I have not seen

804
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: a whole lot from again the self study on Illinois

805
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 1: to lead me to believe that there's going to be

806
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: some sudden growth of offensive production. You just see that

807
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: one being interesting. Eleven points, So Wyoming getting eleven points.

808
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I know it's in Champagne, but it's not like we're

809
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: talking about the House of Pain in Champagne. I will

810
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 1: I'm not locking this up. So only bet like one

811
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: or two shekels if you're going to on Wyoming. But

812
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 1: I kind of like going cowboys there.

813
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, did did Illinois and already Sitkowski not beat

814
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: down your precious Nebraska Cornhuskers and Week zero last year?

815
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm not here to talk about the past, dan Oh,

816
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: I see you're talking about the future.

817
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,759
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm good. I like Illinois here America's Week zero

818
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 2: team Illinois to win. This absolutely America's Week Yeah, yeah,

819
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: Wyomings used to training. This is a reverse altitude pick tie.

820
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 2: I don't think you can get closer to sea level

821
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: than Champagne. Illinois is very different than Laramie. So I

822
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 2: am going with Illinois comfortably in this matchup. I have

823
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: no idea why, I truly do not. Can I ask

824
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 2: you a question before we turned to the very good

825
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 2: looking populist that's listening to this show for them to

826
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: raise their hands and ask questions or present comments or

827
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: picks against you. Yes, I noticed something else about you

828
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: other than the fact that you are a college football

829
00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: quarterback orphanage dire.

830
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,760
Speaker 1: This is a college football show, not a ty hilden

831
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: Brandt character study.

832
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 2: You know this, No, but this is a college football

833
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:11,440
Speaker 2: Tie hilden Brandt thing. Every season you seem to have

834
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: a pet coordinator who moves to a new team and

835
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 2: you're like, look, I know they struggled doing X, but

836
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 2: they hired why, and I just I don't know. I

837
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 2: think things are going to go really well. It was

838
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: Kirk Shiraka.

839
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: It was a spell. We had a yeah yeah, speaking

840
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: of getting frisky, Yeah, that was this year a hot minute.

841
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 2: This year, there's an obvious pick for me for who

842
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,439
Speaker 2: that first place pet coordinator higher has been for you.

843
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:43,360
Speaker 2: But Mark Whipple is just like mister Frisky coming around

844
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 2: the bend. Mark Whipple, I think is there for you

845
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 2: in like a top three, top five zone pet coordinator higher.

846
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 2: Number one to me with a bullet is Jim Knowles

847
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:56,360
Speaker 2: with a bullet. And so that's why I'm selling on

848
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State's defense this year the kiss of Kirksharaka death

849
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: from you. But Mark Whipple has to be in that

850
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: zone for you.

851
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 1: Yes, not really actually interesting, Okay, No, I'm just I'm

852
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: not see. Part of the problem for me as we

853
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: go through this is that my pet coordinator for a

854
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: good long time or just pet like no name coach

855
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:17,240
Speaker 1: was Calin de Borr.

856
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, of course, and now.

857
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: He's coaching Washington and I'm going to have some trouble

858
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 1: with that. I could see myself being a little too

859
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: excited about Tony Elliott at Virginia.

860
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 2: Not a coordinator but a higher, yeah.

861
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: A higher but formerly a coordinator, right and has that

862
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: experience working at a really successful place. I could see

863
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: that kind of influencing the way that I that I

864
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: treat all things Virginia football. Manny Diaz is probably the answer.

865
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 2: Oh that's a good one too, Yeah, of course your

866
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:50,959
Speaker 2: soft spot for Penn State.

867
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Manny Diaz is probably the answer for me.

868
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, hot and bothered for coordinators, I like it.
