3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,000

13
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: all to thank everybody out there for all of their support. Unfortunately,

14
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: I am not going to be participating in this episode, okay,

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: I am going to be training for our live show

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: on January fourteenth, a Hill Country Chicken in New York City.

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Tickets available basically now, if you're listening to this, when

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: is this show going up?

19
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: The show's going up on Wednesday. We're recording on a Tuesday.

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: So this feels like a situation where we need to

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: record an account for two possibilities, one of which is

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: it was a raging success.

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry if you didn't get tickets.

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: A huge success. We're sold out. Sorry, maybe next time.

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. The second is plenty of tickets still available, any

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: of great seats still available or running out real quick,

27
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: so jump on it. Uh so whatever, just addit to that.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: Also saving my voice for our live shows, video and

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: audio for the National Championship in Tampa. Yeah right, So

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about my future. So today it's just going

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 1: to be you and Bryce Love. Bryce Love. It's just

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna be you. And what's the backup plan? Maybe Darius

33
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: Geis is going to be a part of it. Dais

34
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: guys joining us on the skypeline. Sure, yeah, so I do.

35
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: I do appreciate it, but I have to look out

36
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: for my future. We should get the breaking news. Yes

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: we had brackets.

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: Boo boom. The topic at hand here if you couldn't

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: figure it out from Dan's cute little intro there, Christian McCaffrey,

40
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: Leo Fournette, now shaq Linnwood I saw. Who knows by

41
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: the time this show goes up if there will be

42
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: any other names added to the list. But these kids

43
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: are going to skip their bowl games to focus on

44
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: the NFL. Yes, as you might have guessed, there is

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: much conjecture out there in the sports media realm about

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: what this means and how we should feel about these

47
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: kids foregoing the game to focus on their pro future. Dan,

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: do you have a sense here? Do you have a

49
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: do you have a hot take?

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: No? And it's it's one of those weird situations that

51
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: we've come to sort of see with everybody that has

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: to weigh in on every story that yeah, right. The

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: reactions seem to be immediately understanding and supportive, but with

54
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: an undertone of like in anybody that thinks otherwise is

55
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: an idiot, which is a very strange sort of go

56
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: between when you think about when you think about the

57
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: story at hand, which is just guys that play running

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: back don't want to play in TV exhibition games, and

59
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: if their teammates are fine with it, if their coaches

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: are fine with it, if their parents are fine with it,

61
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: if everybody's supportive in their life other than studio analyst

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: John Doe. I think I'm cool with it. I think

63
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. It's hard for me to get work.

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: If it were to Shaun Watson doing it, I'd be like, man,

65
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: that's a little bit off. He got his team to

66
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: the college bable playoff and too the brink of a

67
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: national championship game. He should be playing for his team

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: and finish the season. But Sun Bowl, I I don't know.

69
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, Dan, Yeah, Tom Herman

70
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: just left Houston before their bowl game to take the

71
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Texas job.

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Yes, what was the reaction to that?

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: What a great hire from It was such a great

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: move for Tom Herman for Texas.

75
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: It just makes sense. Mm hmmm hmmm.

76
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: When the shoes on the other foot now and it's

77
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: the unpaid athlete, right, all of a sudden, it's it's

78
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: a referendum on the bowl system, some sort of political

79
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: statement in some cases. Yeah, many of the people arguing

80
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: against this were never good enough to be faced with

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 2: the decision to go pro early, right, And I just

82
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: I believe in life that not everything's black and white.

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: Sometimes a fresh dose of perspective can change your opinion.

84
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: By the way, changing your opinion on something isn't a weakness.

85
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: That can be healthy too. It's not all like black

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: and white here, and it doesn't need to mean something

87
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: more than Hey, I'm just I'm a little worried about

88
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: getting hurt, and I really want to go pro and

89
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: make a living at this full time.

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: And I saw a lot of a lot of people

91
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: referencing Jalen Smith from last year. Yeah, the all everything

92
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: linebacker for Notre Dame who was a surefire top tennis

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: pick and who stumbled into the second round, second round, Cowboys,

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: second round. Yes, he took out an insurance policy so

95
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: did make some money back after he got hurt against

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: Ohio State in the festival, and he came out and said,

97
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, if I could do it all over again,

98
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: I would play. And I saw I don't know if

99
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: it was Kirk Herbstreet, who I like a lot. They

100
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: were using that as a sort of referendum of saying, well,

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: my opinion is correct. Because now that Jalen Smith would

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: do it all over again even with an injury, then

103
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: clearly that's the correct opinion. Here's here's how I come down.

104
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: Just what you said, Ty, It's okay for different people

105
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: to have different opinions and do what they feel is

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: best for them. That's that's cool. I'm disappointed I don't

107
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: get to see Christian McCaffrey play again, but he's touched

108
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: the ball seven hundred and fifty times in two years.

109
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Feel like that's more than enough.

110
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: And guess what tonight we're going to talk about what

111
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: that means in the context of our confidence pool.

112
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: Ooh.

113
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: I think it's got some ramifications. So it was already

114
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 2: a tough game to pick. Maybe this makes it a

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 2: little easier.

116
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what we get there.

117
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: But the point is, Hey, Tom Herman, great move, great

118
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: move for him. I'm so happy for him. Houston players

119
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 2: they were happy for him. Coach Herman, you don't sound happy, ty, No,

120
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: it's kind of goofy, kind of goofy when the shoes

121
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: in the other foot. In other news, Jimbo Fisher reupted

122
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 2: through twenty twenty four. If math serves me, that's like

123
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 2: what eight.

124
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Years ish sounds right. Yeah.

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: If he leaves early, according to Bud Elliott, it's not

126
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: a great deal for Florida State. If he doesn't leave early,

127
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: then it's kind of a steal.

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

129
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: Either way, I think a good move for Florida State.

130
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher is a good coach. He's taken them to

131
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: great heights in the early part of his coaching tenure,

132
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: and we do hope for Florida State that they achieve

133
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 2: continued success, so good for him.

134
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, how many active FBS coaches have won national championships?

135
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: Like five something like that. Yeah, it's a very good coach.

136
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: He recruits well, seems to be seems to feel at

137
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: home and to not fully take overtures seriously to go elsewhere.

138
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: We saw perhaps some mutual interests here with LSU that

139
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: never really went anywhere. He seemed to ask for the world,

140
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: So he's receiving the world in Tallahassee. Hope it works

141
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: out for everybody.

142
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Also, the very first coaching interview we did on the

143
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 2: show Jimbo Fisher.

144
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: That is that true? That is true? The very first one.

145
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: I know Al Golden when he was at Temple was

146
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: very early.

147
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: But Jimbo Fisher was the very first interview before he

148
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: had coached a game, before he had coached a game

149
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: as a head coach.

150
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, who is the first interview we've ever done? Period?

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 2: It was either Andy Gray or Jimmy Trena. I know

152
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 2: it had to have been somebody from MESSI have be

153
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: someone from MESSI that was our only connection back then. Well,

154
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 2: we could have interviewed Stuart Andy, we could have that's true.

155
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: Also, I'm going to use this as a jumping off tease, Ty,

156
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: I think sometime this coming off season, this spring summer

157
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: or something like that. Our pals at the Starters, we've

158
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: referenced them formerly Basketball Jones. They did a magnificent show

159
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: this past January or February outlining in detail their lives

160
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: and the history of the Starter slash Basketball Jones. Oh,

161
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: that was a great show. Look for it. It was, Yeah,

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: it was January February. Look for it. It's a great

163
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: It's like an hour and a half. Listen. It's it

164
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: parallels our story in such crazy ways. I don't know

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: if it'll be this year, maybe next year. This will

166
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: be our God, we started the show in August of

167
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight. This is going to be our

168
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: tenth season.

169
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: So in twenty seventeen it'll be our tenth college football season.

170
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Okay, so twenty seventeen will be our tenth college football season,

171
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: so our ninth off season or whatever it is. So

172
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: we will either do it this year for a nine

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: year anniversary, or who knows.

174
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: We could do it in celebration of our tenth season. Yeah, preemptively,

175
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: I think that'd be fun. We got a long offseason,

176
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,319
Speaker 2: dog to talk about something.

177
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: Can't stress enough. We are here once a week all

178
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: year long, twice a week during the season, so don't

179
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: don't alter those podcasts listening plans because it gets weird

180
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: in June. It really does. It gets weird, but it

181
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: gets fun.

182
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: Yes, the other news, the only news unless there's something

183
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: I missed that was glaring. Tulsa beat Central Mission in

184
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: the Miami Beach Bowl by a score of fifty five

185
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 2: to ten. Hopefully folks took our advice and went on Tulsa.

186
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: By the way, what do you got?

187
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: It looks like a lot of people did take our

188
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 2: advice and they used this newfound East Coast Elliott strategicy.

189
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: I have not informed Elliot yet.

190
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's in our pool, but a

191
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 2: lot of folks are doing exactly as we advised in

192
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: front loading their points. Our group is now number six

193
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: overall in the entire ESPN ecosystem. The gentleman who's first

194
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 2: in our pool is only participating in our pool. But

195
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: the way ESPN does it, you can enter your entry

196
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: in a couple others. I think we've got the first

197
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: place guy or gal in the Rosillo and Canal pool.

198
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: We've got someone who's doing really well on the Todd

199
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Shay Pool, Like, we've got the finest of the fine

200
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 2: here competing in the solid putable kindness. It's like fine,

201
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: It's like the Champions League here is what we got

202
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: going on, and you know, you go and play in

203
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: the other suboptimal leagues, but we've got our Champions League

204
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: going on here, and it seems like it's going pretty

205
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 2: well so far. People have been having a lot of

206
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 2: fun with it. So hopefully it continues and our picks

207
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: keep winning. But so far, so good.

208
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: Premature piculation, I hope, so yeah, I hope it keeps going.

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: And yeah, Dane Evans had a really nice day for Tulsa.

210
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I had them with I think twenty seven confidence points

211
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: because always anti Chippewak, Cooper Rush barely got by the

212
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: bar Mitzvah threshold quarterback rating of thirteen point seven and.

213
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: The bar Mitzvah threshold. The bar mitzva threshold is that

214
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 2: a thing or did you just make that up?

215
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: I have that in my head and I just assume

216
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: everybody knows all the dumb statistical things that I invent

217
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 1: in my head. But yes, the bar Mitzvah threshold is

218
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: if you can have a rating or a QBR above thirteen.

219
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: You're bad, but you're not embarrassing. So you just made

220
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: that up now right on the fly. No, this I

221
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: probably made up week seven looking at you, but you

222
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: didn't use it until now. Now. I didn't use it

223
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: until now. It reminded me because the QBR was exactly

224
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: at thirteen point seven or so. He got just about

225
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: he just had his bar mitzvah with his terrible performance.

226
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: I am going to upon the suggestion of a loyal

227
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 2: overballer named Mike, who I know is listening to the

228
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: show forever and is a talented writer. He suggested that

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: on the next iteration of soliverbal dot com, which I'm

230
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 2: in the process of just cobbling together piecemeal here and

231
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: I'll get it out at some point in twenty seventeen,

232
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: his suggestion was to put some sort of glossary of terms,

233
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 2: oh my god on the website, which could be a

234
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: lengthy process, but I have started it.

235
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: Ty, we are so stupid about so many things.

236
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: We are so stupid about so many things. But we

237
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 2: have a lot of inside baseball terminology, and you know,

238
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: this could be this could be danalytics right.

239
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: Here, like your version of analytics. Do you know how

240
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: many pages I have in my Google document that is

241
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: called analytics I have? I have so many pages in

242
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: my document that Google has informed me that I've reached

243
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: like the two hundred thousand cell limit. Okay, so I've

244
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: had to create a d analytics part due. So I have

245
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: there's like sixty seven pages.

246
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: Why have you not allowed me like access to this

247
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: so I can turn lose some scripting on it?

248
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: Okay, That's what I'm gonna do eventually, because I'm all

249
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: I'm doing is copy pasting your scripting, and we should

250
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: well let you go crazy.

251
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: We should find a time when maybe you're free and

252
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm free, and we can we can.

253

262
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,439

264
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,400

Speaker 1: get me some healthy, hardy snacks. I mean, you could

266
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: go the Nature boxer.

267
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: A lot of people out there, they don't got that

268
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 2: kind of self control, true, they don't got that kind

269
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: of self control to even think about, hey, what's healthy.

270

Speaker 2: this energetic after a full day of work and without

318
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: any caffeine all day. Have you been drinking more coffee lately?

319
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: I have? Yeah. Ah, you're succumbing to the mistick. I'm not, though.

320
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 2: I just drink it because I get bored and because

321
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: it's warm in the morning.

322

327
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 2: seven point favorite over seven and five. Arkansas Dan, otherwise

328
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: known as Arkansas Belk, I am told after many years

329
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: of doing this show, come on Ty is a department

330
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: store for Southern gentlemen.

331
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: It is. I think it's for not just gentlemen, for

332
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: ladies as well.

333
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: So I would think if you could get your gift

334
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: sheet out that this should be an outstanding gift situation. No,

335
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 2: not very clear, but I think decent shopping trip to

336
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: Belk department store, fossil watch. It doesn't indicate how much

337
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: it's for, but it's I've been to a Belk, I

338
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: think in Charlotte's and totally fine. Does it compare to

339
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 2: like a Macy's, a JC Penny and nort likeke.

340
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think like a Macy's type. Yeah. See, I

341
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: think if you're.

342
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: Going to do a shopping trip, that's an okay place

343
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: to do it because you got a lot of variety

344
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: to pick from.

345
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: You have variety if you need a suit jacket, if

346
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,360
Speaker 1: you need some pants, you need some jeans, you need

347
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: a polo shirt of some kinds. It's such a business casual.

348
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: I think you'll be good to go at Belk.

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: So how do you feel about this game?

350
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: Mixed? Yeah? Mixed? So lit is what we know about

351
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech at this point. New coach and Justin he

352
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: had he did a great job. I think he exceeded

353
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: expectations yere one, especially with the first Yer quarterback and

354
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: draw to Evans. They were a good passing team, kind

355
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: of an average running team, which all things considered, from

356
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: what they brought back in the run game, that's it

357
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Iss af Ford and Cam Phillips were

358
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: one of a few really good ACC receiver tandems. So

359
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: all in all, Virginia Tech had the type of season

360
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: where they beat decent teams, lost to disappointing teams and

361
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: in disappointing fast but they won their division. They made

362
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 1: it to the a SEC Championship game, and that was

363
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: largely because of Bud Foster and that blue collar lunch

364
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: pail defense. Sure that was largely. I mean, Woody Baron

365
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 1: and Tremaine Edwards were very good on the line for them,

366
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: and it was they have the best pass defense in

367
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: the ACC. I think it's it's not unfair to say

368
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: that given what they're able to do against some of

369
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: the better teams in the conference. They were very good

370
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: against the pass, and that actually is an interesting matchup

371
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: against Arkansas, who offensively it's kind of only passing because

372
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: it's definitely not defense. That got Arkansas here, or maybe

373
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: it sort of did.

374
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: So.

375
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech seems to be the more talented and more

376
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: together team. Arkansas has arguably the worst Power five defense

377
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: in the land. So I like Virginia Tech here by

378
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: double digits. I have him thirty seven to twenty Hokies.

379
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: Austin Allen is alright, had his moments. Something I noticed

380
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: in looking at some quarterback stats. He was tied for

381
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: the lead in interceptions among SEC quarterbacks and was the

382
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: top three quarterback in the SEC at the same time.

383
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: Correct, there's that, correct, Dan. You talk a lot about

384
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: the analytics I do. I do the esteemed analytics. If

385
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: we could for a second, can we do a deep

386
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: dive into the tiometrics.

387
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Tiometrics not statistics.

388
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, okay, the tiometrics. Would you like

389
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: a trivia question about about Jerrod Evans in this game?

390
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: I could not wait more.

391
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: What does Gerrod Evans have in common with Jake Browning,

392
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 2: Brad Kaya, and Eric Dungeye from Syracuse all good quarterbacks,

393
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 2: but also Kyle schrmer C J. Bethard, and Ryan Burns

394
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: your company's computer guy from Stanford. Yeah, I.

395
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: Don't know. Is a bad third quarter, quarterback or something.

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

397
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 2: All of them through exactly seven interceptions this season. Oh okay,

398
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: it's a fun little tidbit for you, completely meaningless. I

399
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 2: feel like Tech's going to finish strong. Justin Fuente, first

400
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: year head coach, damn near beat Clemson in the CEC

401
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 2: title game. No chance in hell is he mailing this

402
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: one in. And on the flip side you get Arkansas.

403
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 2: They dropped their final game to Missouri. Defensively a mess

404
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 2: all year. I think there's a chance Tech runs Arkansas

405
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: off the field. Yeah, I really do. I think they

406
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 2: finished strong. I think Justin Fuente is going to approach

407
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: every single solitary game like he's trying to build the

408
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 2: next great machine.

409
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 1: Are you worried that Virginia Tech almost exclusively loses to

410
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: teams that are clearly worse than the Hokies.

411
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: I'm not because I feel like that game we saw

412
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: against Clemson was like a sign of things to come.

413
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: What I liked about them in that game is they

414
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 2: were down. It looked the entire game as if they

415
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 2: were going to lose, and they still continue to fight.

416
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 2: And I feel like that fight's going to continue now

417
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 2: into a Bowl game. I feel like Fluente's got something

418
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: to prove.

419
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, Arkansas doesn't force a ton of turnovers.

420
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 2: They don't force a ton of turnovers. They're for the

421
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 2: most part, pretty one dimensional on offense. It just seems

422
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: to me like there's a lot working in tech fase here.

423
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 2: So I think a big game from grod Evans. I

424
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 2: think if they want to run the ball, they can,

425
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: certainly they can. I think Tech wins thirty five to

426
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: twenty one, twenty three points for me.

427
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech, according to the d Analytics, not the Taiometrics,

428
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: the sixth best team in terms of preventing excuse me,

429
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: chunk plays. That defense keeps things in front of them.

430
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: Chunk plays huh ten plus yards chunk plays.

431
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, on a per play level. Who are you

432
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: going with? E I'm going with the Hokies thirty seven

433
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: to twenty all right, we agree?

434
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,919
Speaker 2: We were Valero, Alamobile, Dan San Antonio. It's in the

435
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: Alamo Dome.

436
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 1: The Alamo Dome. Fun, you'ver been there. I've never been

437
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: to San Antonio, And on my search for the best

438
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: tacos in the world, that seems dumb, because I should

439
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: go to major Texas and minor Texas cities to continue

440
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 1: my search. So, no, I've never been to the Almo Dome.

441
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: I've heard wonderful things about the city of San Antonio.

442
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: Okay for the Alamobile, the Alamo itself is quite small.

443
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: Maybe we should skip the title game next year, just

444
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: go go to the Alamo, just go Amable.

445
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I could do that.

446
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 2: Another game on Thursday, December twenty ninth, this one at

447
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: nine pm on ESPN. We've got Colorado at ten and

448
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: three a charmed season. They are a three and one

449
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 2: half point favorite over Oklahoma State. Okie State finished nine

450
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: and three. I understand Jim Levitt will not be part

451
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: of this game.

452
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Correct, No, he's in Eugene already.

453
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: So Jim Levitt, the former defensive coordinator for Colorado. He

454
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: is leaving to be part of the new Willie Taggart

455
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: staff up there in Eugene, Oregon. I learned that he

456
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: loves pepsi pepsi. He like drinks forty pepsis a day

457
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 2: that does that does not seem healthy.

458
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: You don't hear that a lot? Also, soda might be

459
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: a one seed on our things that people like that

460
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: are actually garbage. Bracket.

461
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: I saw something on Facebook, so it must be true

462
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 2: that if you're having an issue with like hard water

463
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: and you get the weird stains in the toilet.

464
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: What is hard water? You never heard of hard water before? No?

465
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 2: Oh, my gosh, Dan art of the hard water. Hard

466
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 2: water is a thing that has high mineral content. Yeah,

467
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: high mineral content. Sure, it can harm your your appliances

468
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: that use water. I've got a water software in the basement.

469
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 2: I have to add salt to it periodically. Actually have

470
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 2: to do it now.

471
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I'll go do it tonight. Can you do

472
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: it live on the show? Sure? Why not? No, I've

473
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: never heard of water hardness. You East Coast people are

474
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 1: leading such bad lives. I'm one of them.

475
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: You are one of them. Hard Water is a thing,

476
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: and sometimes it can lead to stains. Sometimes you can

477
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: get stains in your toilet from it. It looks like

478
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: you're unsanitary, but in fact it's just because of the water.

479
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: I've learned that these stains that are nearly impossible to

480
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 2: just wipe out with a normal toilet brush. If you

481
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 2: pour coke in the toilet, oh, I believe it will

482
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: just melt it off.

483
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: I think I cleaned out one of the apartment bathrooms

484
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: I had in college or something with a bunch of

485
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: Coca Cola, Like, we just let it sit there and

486
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: eat away. That shouldn't be in your stomach.

487
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 2: It will engine Yeah, yeah, as you might have guessed,

488
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 2: Coca Cola not a sponsor this show.

489
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: No, not a sponsor. And Jim Levitt not coaching in

490
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: this game, not coaching at this game. All right.

491
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: I looked at this matchup. I really wanted to like

492
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: Colorado way more than I did. Then I looked at

493
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: the spread, and I realized.

494
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm not alone, Dan, Okay, I'm not alone.

495
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: Why am I hesitant here? Why am I so hesitant

496
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 2: with Colorado? I've been all year.

497
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Their offense can stagnate pretty easily. Say Alufal keeps getting hurt.

498
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: We saw him hurt. I believe his ankle against Washington

499
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: in the PAC twelve title game. Philip Lindsay's talented, but

500
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: overall they're only sort of okay on the ground, Okay

501
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: through the air. They're all around pretty solid on offense.

502
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: I like the receivers Sheffields and Devin Ross. Their defense

503
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: is great. They have two NFL corners in Tedrick Thompson.

504
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: I know they sort of play all over the place,

505
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: Nickella Witherspoon. They led the Pac twelve and passes defended,

506
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: so they should be able to keep this Oklahoma State

507
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: defense in front of them. Because Oklahoma State another team

508
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: the d analytics love. They love the chunk plays. But

509
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: I don't think that Colorado is going to be able

510
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: to generate enough offense if this gets into a shootout.

511
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State's defense can struggle a little bit. You can

512
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: move the ball on them. They're greatly improved running the ball.

513
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: I have Oklahoma State here by ten. Whoa I'm going

514
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: I'm going up with the Cowboys outright. I think they've

515
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: got momentum. I don't think they're going to They don't

516
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: lose to a team like Colorado who's going to struggle

517
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: to move the ball. I have thirty one to twenty

518
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: one Oklahoma State, especially because Saint Flulufau just always seems

519
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: like he's hurt, because he is always hurt. I think

520
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 1: Colorado in terms of interest, I think their season peaked

521
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: with that Washington game, and it's a bit of a

522
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: letdown part of the year. Interesting. So let me get

523
00:25:57,880 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: this straight.

524
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State has momentum because they lost by eighteen at

525
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 2: Oklahoma to close out.

526
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 1: Well, no, they lose, they will lose to a team

527
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: that can take advantage of their defense. I just don't

528
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: think Colorado is that type of team. Okay, and they

529
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: were in that cham they shot themselves in the foot

530
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: a ton I had you pegged for Colorado here because

531
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: they're in the PAC twelve. But I really like Colorado,

532
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: but it's I don't know against this Oklahoma State team.

533
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: I think they're built to be able to play with Colorado. Interesting.

534
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 2: Okay, well, I'm going to go the other way, but

535
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 2: you're right about Colorado. There is some reason to be

536
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: skeptical here. They did get bombed in the Pac twelve game,

537
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: and a lot of that was on the ground too.

538
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: A lot of that was on the ground. Sure people

539
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 2: are gonna say, well, Sefo lou Foul got hurt in

540
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: the Washington game, and certainly that's when the game came

541
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 2: off the rails. But Washington would have won that game

542
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: pretty big either way. If you go back and look

543
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: at it, they would have won that game. I think

544
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State's overrated. I am not at all impressed by

545
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: their resume. The offense is good because it's always good.

546
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: They just lost the Miami Beach Bowl by proxy, thank you.

547
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: The defense is garbage garbage this season, and I'm just

548
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: gonna favor the team with the better defense. I know

549
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 2: they lose Jym eleven and I'm not super confident here,

550
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 2: but i haven't been all year. So let's say Colorado plays.

551
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 2: They're still playing to earn respect. They're I think a

552
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: more balanced team than Oklahoma State. Not super confident. I'm

553
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: gonna go Colorado wins, but only fourteen points. Probably a

554
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: close game.

555
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: They are giving away. This might be my number one, ty, Really,

556
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: this might be my number one. I'm going to start

557
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 1: with the smaller items and work up in sort of

558
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: against what I've been doing. A mini helmet, fine, whatever, team,

559
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: panoramic photo. Yeah, there's some sentiment there. Whatever. Sure, A

560
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: my charge hub plus portable charger, seeing on and on

561
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,919
Speaker 1: about it. It's the year the portable charger one hundred

562
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: and ten dollars, Best Buy gift card one hundred and

563
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: ten very specific but useful, okay?

564
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 2: Uh?

565
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: And an Apple Watch. Wow? Yeah, I think the Apple

566
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,880
Speaker 1: Watch is garbage. I think that figures in my bracket

567
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: of things people like that. I'm wearing one right now.

568
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: I know you are.

569
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: Still that's an impressive haul. So you're going Oak State.

570
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: I'm going Colorado here, correct, we disagree, we do disagree.

571
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's move on. Let's go to the AutoZone

572
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: Liberty Bowl.

573
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: Get in the Zone. Get in the zone baby.

574
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: On Friday, December thirtieth, at high noon on ESPN, We've

575
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: got Georgia at seven and five, a one point favorite

576
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: over TCU at six and six. Dan, I would urge

577
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: people who work in corporate America not to take a

578
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 2: vacation day to watch this game. Do not, like, even

579
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: if you're thirtieth, right, yeah, the thirtieth, even if you're

580
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 2: a Georgia or a TCU fan or a lum roll

581
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: your time over into twenty seventeen, Like, just don't don't

582
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 2: do it for this game.

583
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 1: So I have a story about the thirtieth, right, So

584
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: that's Friday, December thirtieth, Yes, as it relates to these games.

585
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: So we have the Liberty Bowl, we have the Sun Bowl,

586
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: the Music City Bowl, and the Home Loans Bowl, the

587
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: Home Loans Arizona Bowl. Right, So Solid Fiance is going

588
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: to be in New York. I'm going to be in California,

589
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: but I'm coming back the twenty ninth. And she wanted

590
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: to go see a Broadway play because my mom wanted

591
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: to get us a gift for like our engagement. She said,

592
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: go to a Broadway play on me. It's cool. Okay,

593
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: that's that's a great, it's very kind thing. Yeah. So

594
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: solid fiance is going to be here, she's hanging out,

595
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: she'll be bored not working during the holiday break. And

596
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: she said, how about we get tickets to see And

597
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 1: I was very happy about this. Oh hello, which is

598
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: John mullaney and Nick Kroll their two man Broadway show.

599
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Why don't we see that on the thirtieth? And my

600
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: first instinct was like, oh, I mean there's Bowl games.

601
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: And then I looked at the schedule and I said, yeah, okay, yeah,

602
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: let's do it. Sure can I it's at two pm?

603
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: Wonderful have tickets. That's what I'm gonna be doing. I'll

604
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: tape these good for you. So what do we have?

605
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: So we're talking Auto's Own Liberty Ball Georgia Tco.

606
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: It feels like the game between the car that starts

607
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: fifty percent of the time and the car that always starts.

608
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: But has a doughnut on the back wheel. Well, if

609
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: one of those cars couldn't run or throw, it might

610
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: be Georgia. Yeah, because their offense was a struggle this year.

611
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: They couldn't run. They were even worse throwing the ball,

612
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: which is sort of understandable. New coach, freshman quarterback dog

613
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: defense was really really good versus the run, and they

614
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: were pretty good against the pass. But man, it was

615
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: just it was not a great year for Georgia. It

616
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: was There's not a ton you can take away happy

617
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: they beat North Carolina early, They I mean, disappointing on

618
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: the ground, which is kind of shocking considering the running

619
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 1: back talent they had. But here's the good news. TCU

620
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: sees your embarrassing season and raises you one of their

621
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: own because they ran pretty well. They were themselves also

622
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 1: garbage throwing the ball. Defense wasn't great versus the run.

623
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: It was all right versus the past. Josh Caroway's big

624
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: ear was sort of lost in a lot of TCU struggles.

625
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,719
Speaker 1: I have because I think Georgia is a team of extremes,

626
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: bad offense, pretty fun defense, and TCU is just sort

627
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: of halfway disappointing on both sides. I'm actually gonna roll

628
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: with TCU. Wow, I'm gonna go with TCU. I know

629
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: they're what a one point underdog? Yep. I think at

630
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: this point blue chip guys at Georgia will be more

631
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 1: disappointed to be in the Liberty Bowl than TCU's team.

632
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: So I have twenty one twenty seventeen TCU that went

633
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: by a field goal.

634
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: That's a really great theory. Wow, it could be totally

635
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: wrong and there's a good chance of that. Yeah, I'm

636
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: second guessing my pick. I'm gonna go Georgia here. I

637
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: have zero feel for this game, zero feel for this game.

638
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: I am going to act impulsively and spitefully inside with

639
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: Georgia because you might remember TCU was now infamously my

640
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: preseason playoff pick. They're in the freaking Liberty Bowl. They're

641
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 2: my playoff pick. They're garbage against the run, and they've

642
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: been dealing with whatever Kenny Hill's doing all year.

643
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't know if they yanked him for good

644
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: yet or.

645
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: Not, but to be fair, Georgia is also hot garbage

646
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 2: at least on offense, one hundred and fifth nationally in

647
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 2: points per game. Defensively, You're right, though, they were above average.

648
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: We got to stop calling people and things and teams garbage.

649
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 2: We got to come up with new words, even though

650
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 2: it might be true.

651
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: We have to span. It's my fault.

652
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: I have no place to slot this game because of

653
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: the way I planned out the rest of my confidence pool,

654
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: which is like a triple whammie. Here, I am gonna

655
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: go Georgia and I'm gonna go twenty six points and

656
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna feel good about it at all. I'm

657
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: just gonna roll the dice. It's a one point line, truthfully,

658
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: you know it. I know it. This could go either way.

659
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 2: So let's just let's go Georgia. I've said for a

660
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: long time they would be my SEC team. They were

661
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 2: nice to me when I went down to visit Athens

662
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: a long long time ago, back in oh nine. Let's

663
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 2: just go dogs.

664
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: Let's go.

665
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 2: Twenty six points, and let's just take the medicine and

666
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 2: hope it works out.

667
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: You know what surprisingly robust gift package though, Yeah, bass

668
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: pro shops shopping trip. There's a little indicator. I don't

669
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: know what the indicator means, but that's happening. What is

670
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: what's set of bass pro shops? You've never been to

Speaker 2: I know, well, listen, I live in eastern Pennsylvania.

00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: Oculus Pro Team HD.

680
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: Binoculars, Okay, if you're into that team HD Bro. Did

681
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 2: you say Oculus Pro Pro not Bro?

682
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: Okay? Pro Team HD binocular is a below of a watch, Okay,

683
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: which I think that's pretty nice. It's nice enough for

684
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: a college kid walk away with Nike athletic shoes, sports sandals,

685
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: no indication if they're eye slides, backpack and sunglasses and

686
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: a football. It's whatever they lack in quality, or maybe

687
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,439
Speaker 1: they don't lack. You're getting a bunch from this game.

688
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm still hung up on when I thought

689
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: you said Oculus Bro. I keep think Oculus Bro. I

690
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 2: keep thinking Brady Quinn as Oculus Bro.

691
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:40,839
Speaker 1: You get Brady Quinn branded binoculars. All right, that's good haul.

692
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: I'd be okay with that.

693
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Hyundai Sunbowl Dan and El Paso, Texas. HM.

694
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Is this the final game of Uncle Vern? I believe so? Yes.

695
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Friday again, December to December thirtieth. Excuse me, two

696
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: pm CBS. We've got Stanford at nine and three. They

697
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 2: are at least a time of recording. I don't know

698
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 2: if they changed this at all, about a three to

699
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: three and a half point favorite. They are now going

700
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 2: against North Carolina. As you heard at the top of

701
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 2: the show, Christian McCaffrey not going to be playing in

702
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 2: this one.

703
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: Yea.

704
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: It is a big deal for obvious reasons. I saw

705
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 2: David Lombardi from ESPN posted this little nugget. Christian McCaffrey

706
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 2: has accounted for forty five point seven of Stanford's offensive

707
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 2: touches over the past two seasons. That is the highest

708
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: rate in the Football Bowl Subdivision. For reference, Danel Pumphrey

709
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: from San Diego State is at forty four point four.

710
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: If you throw in returns, McCaffrey has five hundred and

711
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 2: ninety three touches in the last two seasons, which is

712
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: obviously a tremendous amount, Dani. Yeah, I will also throw

713
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: this little nugget in there. Everyone's talking about Christian McCaffrey

714
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 2: right now. I read something for the first time last week.

715
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: Have you heard of the quote unquote ditch for Mitch

716
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 2: campaign yet?

717
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: No, I've heard Mitch Trubisky's name, as he's going to

718
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: be the first quarterback off the board, and I have

719
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: very limited thoughts about that.

720
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 2: The Browns are zero and fourteen. They lost again this weekend,

721
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 2: like thirty three to thirteen of Buffalo.

722
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

723
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: Some sports writers are now calling this the Ditch for

724
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: Mitch campaign, as if it's some sort of like statement

725
00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 2: by the Browns to go out and achieve greater success

726
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: by losing all their games to get I'm laughing here.

727
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to get Mitch Trubisky. I like Mitch Trubisky.

728
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 2: He had a great year. He's got great physical tools.

729
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: But Dan, we need to pump the brakes on Mitch

730
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 2: Trubisky here. When you start talking about tanking to get

731
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 2: a guy, that guy he got to be like once

732
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 2: in a generation, he gotta be can't miss, right. I

733
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: feel like he got to be someone other than Mitch Trubisky.

734
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,399
Speaker 2: I don't think Mitch Trubisky's that guy. He's just he's

735
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 2: not Peyton Manning, he's not Andrew Luck, he's not he's

736
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 2: not any of those guys.

737
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: So here's my general rule of thinking. And this is

738
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,800
Speaker 1: danalytic free. And you can look up Mitch Trubisky's his

739
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: stats against better teams and they're fine, They're nothing crazy.

740
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 1: But I don't think that tells the full story my

741
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,640
Speaker 1: d analytics free analysis of should you take a quarterback

742
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: in the first round? And I'm not an NFL fan,

743
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: I don't have a team. I don't have anything. But

744
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: in terms of how I would work a team, if

745
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: you look at a quarterback and you say to yourself, man,

746
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: if I were an opposing defensive coordinator, I wouldn't sleep

747
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: that week. I don't know, Like, how do you stop Mariota?

748
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: He's so accurate, he's so fast. How do you stop Jamis?

749
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: He just changes so much at the line. There's no

750
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: defense that can fully contain him. Andrew Luck, he's just

751
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: he's a surgeon out there. Like those are the guys

752
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: where were just like, man, I don't what a We

753
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: have a good defense, but he's still gonna pick us.

754
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: I just you watch Mitch Trubisky, You're like, it's pretty good. Yeah,

755
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: pretty good.

756
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: But I.

757
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: To like throw everything behind Mitch Trubisky. I would be

758
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: happy to be proven pompous, even more pompous than people

759
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: already think I am about Mitch Trubisky. But I not

760
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 1: seeing it, not right now. Ditch for Mitch.

761
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 2: I suspect it's one of those deals where it's so

762
00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 2: hopeless that you know, Rihanna looking for love in a

763
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: hopeless place, m h and Mitch Trubisky just comes walking

764
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: through that door. He's got a dynamic arm, he's got size,

765
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 2: he's got the arm talent that I think the NFL

766
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: is gonna like. But gosh, okay. Stanford Dan closed out

767
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: the year with five straight wins. North Carolina lost two

768
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 2: of their final three to duke An NC State. Since

769
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 2: effectively taking over the quarterback gig at Stanford, Keller Christ

770
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: has thrown nine touchdowns, just one interception.

771
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: He did not play any defenses that scare me, nor

772
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: will he in the Sun Bowl.

773
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: I felt before this Christian McCaffrey announcement that there was

774
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: more reason to like Stanford than I had thought previously.

775
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: I felt pretty good about Stanford chances here. I had

776
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 2: Stanford winning the game, maybe a close game, to the

777
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: tune of nineteen confidence points.

778
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Wow.

779
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: The Christian McCaffrey thing, though, to me, is a huge distraction,

780
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 2: a huge distraction really, and I feel like the team

781
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: now maybe has a reason to devalue this game, like

782
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: it might not mean as much to the rest of

783
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 2: them because they're their leader won't be out there with them.

784
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: I am going to switch my pop. I'm going to

785
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: say Mitch Trubisky is making his pitch for Mitch in

786
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: the NFL. If you like that, thank you very much.

787
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: UNC wins a close one, I'm gonna go nineteen confidence points.

788
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So I enthusiastically disagree. So one, I think North

789
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: carolina Is defense actually improved this year. There were times

790
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen, and yes, there were times in twenty

791
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 1: sixteen that were just atrocious, but when you look at

792
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 1: what they were able to do, at least against teams

793
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 1: that they should have performed defensively against some of the

794
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: bottom of the ACC they actually did a pretty good job,

795
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: and the numbers improved a little bit. But I thought,

796
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: all in all, this team took a step in the

797
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 1: right direction defensively, now Stanford, when they're operating at full mass,

798
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: they are really really good, and that would include Christian McCaffrey.

799
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: North Carolina, big D, analytic offense, good at creating chunk plays.

800
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: They stalled a little bit too often on these drives.

801
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: Another good acc wide receiver duo in Bug Howard and

802
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: Ryan Switzer. I believe, great names, both of them, both

803
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: of them. North Carolina wasn't terribly far from ten to two.

804
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 1: The Duke and North Carolina State games were both winnable.

805
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: They were both dumb games. They should have been They

806
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: were competitive in those games. They should have been better

807
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: on those fields. Stanford ran the ball this year. Their

808
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: passing took perhaps the biggest step back of any team

809
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: that plays in a Power five conference. They had a

810
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,959
Speaker 1: four game stretch in which they averaged eleven points before

811
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: making that quarterback switch. I get the feeling because I

812
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: really do like Bryce Love as well in the backfield,

813
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: who is the sort of one be back to Christian McCaffrey.

814
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: I get the feeling that this Stanford team, with time

815
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: prepare against defense that still has struggled against the run,

816
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: playing into the specialty of the Stanford offense. In Stanford themselves.

817
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: They play really good defense, and we've seen North Carolina

818
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 1: struggle when they haven't been able to run the ball.

819
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: That's what Stanford stops. I think we might be seeing

820
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Christian who after Stanford wins this game,

821
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,880
Speaker 1: like that really dumb, crizy. It's just okay. I like

822
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: Stanford here. I like Stanford with time prepare. I think

823
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: it's a particularly advantageous matchup. I have Stanford twenty four

824
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: to twenty.

825
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 2: Twenty four to twenty. Yeah, I might change this pick

826
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 2: again right now. I'm gonna go unc. I could see

827
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 2: it going either way. I really could. It's going to

828
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: be a close game one way.

829
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: Christian.

830
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: I like that line though. That's gonna happen.

831
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 1: Dan, you know it. That's exactly like you know, like

832
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,280
Speaker 1: the laziest and I include myself in this. The laziest

833
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: writers are gonna be like, guess they didn't need him,

834
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: Guess they said go train.

835
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: They fell in love with somebody other than Christian McCaffrey.

836
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: The sun Ball is going to be giving away a

837

851
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 2: better than getting an RPG from Lockheed Martin. The Franklin

852
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 2: American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville and Nissan Stadium

Speaker 2: also on Friday, December thirtieth, at three thirty pm Eastern.

854
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 2: This one's between Tennessee at eight and four and Nebraska

855
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 2: at nine and three. Tennessee's about a field goal favorite

856
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: Dan quick sidebar here hit me?

857
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 1: Is this a birth announcement on the show? No, no, no, no,

858
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: nothing like that.

859
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: There is a point in the near future where the

860
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: solid wife and I are going to be in the

861
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: market for a home, a home that we've got. Oh now, listen,

862
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 2: po podcasting is a super lucrative business. You might be saying, well,

863
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: don't you already have a mansion? Drinking tea out of

864
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: my golden chalice here?

865
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: Alas, I do not.

866
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: I will indeed require a mortgage to purchase said home.

867
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

868
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 2: So I saw this ballgame as an opportunity to go

869
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: out there and say, what is what could Franklin American

870
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: and their mortgages do for me?

871
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: Right?

872
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: I found their website Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls,

873
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: children of all ages. I have found for you the

874
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 2: holy Grail of stock photography.

875
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: Dan good News, the company has at least seventy million

876
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: dollars because that's how much they were fined for the

877
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 1: False Claims Act in twenty fifty Oh good good, and

878
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: they had to settle with the United States of America.

879
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of false claims, we've got the Tennessee volunteers

880
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: in this game.

881
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: Dan Sue, Oh good, good one, thank you, good go.

882
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. I've been big on home games and bowls. This

883
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: might be a case where I don't think it helps.

884
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: Okay, why.

885
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 2: I'm just so sour on them at this point. It

886
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: was supposed to be what do you mean why they're

887
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: eight and four because of somebody else's hype, not because

888
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: of anyone else's hype. They had their whole team back

889
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 2: and they went eight and four. Okay, this was supposed

890
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 2: to be like the awakening of volunteer football, though to

891
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 2: win the SEC East. They finished in four.

892
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 1: Can I ask you this? Yeah, you can ask me anything.

893
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: As a counterpoint, did they lose a game sixty two

894
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 1: to three?

895
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: No?

896
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: They did not, Okay, they they did not.

897
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: Okay, just making sure we're on the same page. Does

898
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: that then mean that you're going with Tennessee.

899
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: I think I am going Tennessee, and that is problematic

900
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: because I already know how I feel about taking teams

901
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: that play in extremes and Tennessee. Offensively, they can do

902
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot of really interesting things. They've got two great receivers.

903
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 1: They did lose Jalen Hurd. He decided to leave the program,

904
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: but Alvin Kamara stepped in really nicely. They're another team

905
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: the analyticslov in terms of chunk plays. They were hurt

906
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: all year defensively, and it seemed at a certain point

907
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: their defensive strategy was just that of a very lazy

908
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: parents willing to let their children just run around until

909
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: they exhausted themselves out. So like, well, they're gonna run

910
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: all over us. So maybe maybe Texas A and M

911
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 1: we'll just get tired. Yeah, maybe I'll just get worn

912
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: down from all of the open lanes. Nebraska themselves, they

913
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,400
Speaker 1: could not run consistently. Their passing was mostly it was

914
00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: a disappointment, especially versus better teams. They're pretty good against

915
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: the run, They're okay against the past. I really like

916
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 1: the talent in their secondary. That's how they sort of

917
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: kept a lot of plays in front of them. But

918
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't see how they are going to

919
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: stop Tennessee consistently and or match score with them. So

920
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: I have Tennessee thirty to twenty four. I think they

921
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: figure out how to have a big enough game in

922
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 1: Josh Jabb's final game.

923
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 2: I really don't want to pick Tennessee, Okay, And this

924
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 2: is where I get myself into trouble when I start

925
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: allowing emotion into the picking process. The issue I'm having

926
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: and the reason I'm no longer all in on Nebraska

927
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: is George western Camp's out. Yeah, he had a non

928
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: contact injury. He's out for the bowl game. Tommy Armstrong,

929
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 2: at least at time of recording, is still dealing with

930
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 2: some kind of hamstring injury he got earlier in the year.

931
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 2: He's not even practicing with the team right now. Right

932
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 2: that's a problem. That's a problem. So there are many

933
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: logical reasons to go with Nebraska here either way, because

934
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 2: of the way I because the way I box myself in.

935
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: This is an eighteen pointer for me, So not overly confident.

936
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 2: You can't put five points on every game. This one

937
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: just ended up at number eighteen right now. I am

938
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 2: gonna say Nebraska. I am gonna wait, though, to see

939
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 2: what happens with Tommy Armstrong. If he doesn't play, I'll

940
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 2: probably switch to to Tennessee.

941
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: So after the tough loss to Wisconsin, I can't randall

942
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 1: Nebraska played two pretty decent teams, two excellent teams, one

943
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 1: excellent team, one pretty good team on the road that

944
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: would be at Ohio State and at Iowa. How many

945
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns did they score? And bind the top two games

946
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: stop they scored but one touch I know they lost

947
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: those two games one hundred and two to thirteen. It's

948
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: not the greatest score line I might have to switch

949
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: this now. I just I think Nebraska is a team

950
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: that can be interesting. They appear to be recruiting quite well.

951
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: I think everybody's probably in the back of their mind,

952
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: even the most optimistic Nebraska fans, which there are a

953
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: lot of, are probably saying to themselves, you know what,

954
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: it'll probably be good for everybody that Tommy Armstrong is

955
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: no longer going to be our starting quarterback. And thank

956
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: you for he was a total warrior out there. Everybody

957
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: seems to like him, I think. But Nebraska right now,

958
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: as they're currently constituted, they just sort of seem like

959
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 1: the facade of a good college football I'm going to

960
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: switch at to Tennessee. And here's why I'm going to

961
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 1: do it, because I'm very good at persuading you. If

962
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: you are and if you're wrong, I can blame you. Yeah,

963
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: absolutely all right, you can quickly. Oregon should have beat

964
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: Nebraska tie. Think about that. That's right, That's right?

965
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: Oh boy, Okay, no more bills to pay and then

966
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 2: three more games texture Dan.

967
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: Hmmm. A lot of people responded really well to the

968
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: magazine feature I referenced on our last episode. They did. Yeah,

969
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: the Frank Sinatra one. Yeah as a cold. Here is

970
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: the way this works.

971
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I've used texture before, I've talked about it at nauseum.

972
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 2: I used it when I went on my honeymoon. Fired

973
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 2: it up on the bird down to Jamaica, read some

974
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: of my favorite magazine magazine articles. Texture has essentially digitized

975
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 2: the magazine experience. So if you're going on a trip,

976
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: if you're in a waiting room somewhere, if you've just

977
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: got time to kill, if you don't have time to kill,

978
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 2: you're just laying in bed, you want to do some reading,

979
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 2: you want to catch up right, you can fire up

980
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: the Texture app and they give you instant access to

981
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 2: all the magazines that you know and love.

982
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: Nice.

983
00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:01,800
Speaker 2: They've got hundreds of magazines available, Sports, illustri Forbes, Fast Company,

984
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: Rolling Stone, People, you name it. Over two hundred of them, Dan,

985
00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 2: They're all available. And not only that, you don't have

986
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 2: to dig through them to figure out what is it

987
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 2: I want to read? What is it I don't want

988
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: to read? Texture Now has a cool feature which makes

989
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: it easy to find and enjoy everything you want to read.

990
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 2: They make daily recommendations. They also add exclusive interactive features.

991
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: They've got videos, on there a whole bunch of other stuff.

992
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: In addition to the fact that it's searchable. I like

993
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 2: that it's searchable. If you have a bunch of paper magazines,

994
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 2: you can't search that. You got to flip through them.

995
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: It's a manual process. Texture is searchable. You can mark

996
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 2: what you like, you can check out back issues. In

Speaker 2: addition to all that bonus content I just talked about,

998
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,320

Speaker 2: Think it through, think it through, all right, quickly. We

1014
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 2: got three more games here to discuss. All right, let's

1015
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 2: do it. The Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl DAN in

1016
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 2: Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Also on Friday evening. This is

1017
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 2: a game between air Force DAN and South Alabama, who

1018
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,479
Speaker 2: clear out the next hour of your life.

1019
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah to talk about? Yeah, thank you.

1020
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 2: Air Force is a thirteen and a half point favorite Dan.

1021
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 2: This game is on something called the American Sports Network.

1022
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 2: This sounds like the network that aired Sports Night in

1023
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 2: the late nineties, Like, not in real life, but actually

1024
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 2: in the show.

1025
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like a sports network on a TV

1026
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:19,359
Speaker 1: show that somebody what like, oh did you hear about

1027
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: what's happening with the Detroit Panthers. They're talking all about

1028
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: it on American Sports Network. That's right. I've got air

1029
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: Force to the tune of thirty eight points here. I

1030
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 1: think I'm feeling pretty strongly about air Force as well.

1031
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 1: They can run, they can't throw, they can stop thrown.

1032
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,400
Speaker 1: They can't stop people from throwing. South Alabama's offenses. All right,

1033
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: they can throw the ball a little bit. Their defense

1034
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: isn't great. I have twenty eight thirteen Air Force. I'm

1035
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,280
Speaker 1: pretty confident in that's I would just strongly suggest anybody

1036
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: going to this game in Tucson make sure you wake

1037
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 1: up early because the Arizona desert has a distinct morning

1038
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: dew smell, and I love it. Some people don't like it.

1039
00:52:56,920 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 1: I love it. I love Arizona. I know you really

1040
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: are big on Arizona, huge on Arizona, big Southwest guy here. Yeah,

1041
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 1: So can I ask you this? You have deep ties

1042
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: to Eastern PA. I do your extended family solid wife,

1043
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: Kate's extended family in a post apocalyptic scenario, sure, where

1044
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: you could take You and Kate are fine? You have money,

1045
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: you figured out you could sort of live anywhere you're

1046
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: not bound by those ties. Are you considering Arizona? It

1047
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 1: would be Arizona or Hawaii? Well you probably have to

1048
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: get there by car if we're talking post apocalypse post apocalypse. Yeah, okay,

1049
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: well then it would probably be Arizona. Yeah, because I

1050
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: still remember when in twenty ten you were taking pictures

1051
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,200
Speaker 1: of the mountains in Arizona.

1052
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 2: I was such a tourist. Yeah, I was only missing

1053
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: the fanny pack. I think in twenty ten it was

1054
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 2: was it a digital camera that you were taking pictures

1055
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 2: with it. Probably probably probably we've been doing the show

1056
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: for so long.

1057
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: Ah, do you remember I was a huge nerd.

1058
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 2: That was when we saw Bill Hancock looking for his

1059
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: car in the parking lot.

1060
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: That is true. Yeah, you shared a moment. Now it

1061
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: would be Arizona for me. Okay, I'd listen. Half of

1062
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: my family's from Arizona. They are. They're giving away quite

1063
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: a bit in this game. By the way. Oh, in

00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: record once again, ty socks.

1082
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're only as comfortable as your feet. So cool

1083
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,439
Speaker 1: treating yourself with good socks. You're in a good place.

1084
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: I think the Arizona ball's taking care of its players.

1085
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: Good for South Alabama, good fair force.

1086
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 2: Two more games, Dan, I know, it's hard to believe

1087
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 2: that there could be any game bigger than the Nova

1088
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: Home Loans Arizona Bawl. I know, but ball season continues

1089
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 2: to surprise, continues to impress. Yeah, we're going to talk

1090
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 2: about two games that occur on New Year's Eve earlier

1091
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 2: in the day, eleven am. This one is called the

1092
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 2: Buffalo wild Wings Citrus Bowl, Dan, Yeah, another Bowl game

1093
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 2: at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. This is an awesome matchup,

1094
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: an awesome, awesome matchup. LSU seven and four a three

1095
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite against Louisville, who finished the

1096
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,879
Speaker 2: year at nine and three, we already talked about Leo.

1097
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: Why would you say that like a Spanish tourist. They're

1098
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: playing a Louisville playing a Louisville. Yeah, I don't know, Okay,

1099
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: Louisville LSU. We already talked about Leo Fournette skipping this one.

1100
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: The difference between him and Christian McCaffrey is that his

1101
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 1: team has Darius Guice and so much disrespect for Bryce

1102
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: love Well.

1103
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 2: I like Bryce love but Darius Guys actually led his

1104
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: team and carries rushing yardage and rushing touchdowns this year,

1105
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: so it's not so much a backup situation. He led

1106
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: the team statistically on the ground. I like LSU in

1107
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 2: this game. I think Louisville closed out their season by

1108
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 2: getting bombed against Houston and losing a shootout in the

1109
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 2: Governor's Cup against Kentucky. And I just don't think that

1110
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 2: ed Or Jaran's going to sleep walk into a Bowl game,

1111
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,800
Speaker 2: not after getting the job of his dreams. It feels

1112
00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 2: to me like he's going to try and coach the

1113
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 2: hell out of this game. And I think defensively, they

1114
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 2: have what it takes to confuse Lamar Jackson enough that

1115
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 2: they can win this game.

1116
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think everything you're saying is

1117
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: right in line, and the point is taken about Darius Skice.

1118
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: He was their leading rusher. LSU as a team, when

1119
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: both of those guys are healthy, they're as good a

1120
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: running team as anybody in the country. Their passing ended

1121
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: up being not bad, but that was against a lot

1122
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: of sort of disappointing defenses. They score when they string

1123
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: together big plays. Louisville is very good against that, so

1124
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: that should be an interesting matchup. LSU's defense is pretty

1125
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 1: much the most complete non Alabama defense in the country,

1126
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: and they are particularly excellent in the red zone. So

1127
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: Louisville will not be able to win this game kicking

1128
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: field goals. I don't believe Louisville as good a running

1129
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: team as anybody in the country. They're also obviously a

1130
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: very good passing team, and Lamar Jackson at his height

1131
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: is the best. Louisville's defense I think was overlooked a

1132
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: little bit because of the genius of Lamar Jackson. They

1133
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: were very good.

1134
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,240
Speaker 2: They were very very good. They got better too as

1135
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: the year. As the year were on.

1136
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 1: Ultimately, I am a little bit worried about Louisville's offense

1137
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: against LICs Hu's defense. L's Hu's defense is that good

1138
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: and if they are charged up, which I think you're right,

1139
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: I think Dacocho will have them ready to play. I'm

1140
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna go twenty four to twenty Lsu. I feel pretty

1141
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: good about it. I think Alice Hu's defense as unbelievable

1142
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: as Louisville's offense is. I think the time off, I

1143
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 1: think the sort of Heisman hangover. I think Lamar Jackson

1144
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: will be good and we'll make good plays, but I'm

1145
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: going with Lsu here. I think they get it done. Yeah.

1146
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 2: Something that struck me down the stretch. Lamar Jackson, now

1147
00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: you want the Heisman. He's a dynamic runner, He's a

1148
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: dynamic player. He was very average as a passer in

1149
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 2: some of those games in the second half of the year.

1150
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: You didn't see it so much earlier in the season.

1151
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a situation where opponents

1152
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 2: figured out something with him or what it was, but

1153
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: I gotta believe that Dave Randa, with a couple weeks

1154
00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: to prepare with this defense for someone like Lamar Jackson,

1155
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna be ready They're gonna have a formula for

1156
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 2: him to maybe not totally clip his wings, but to

1157
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: at least contain him to the point that Louisville needs

1158
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 2: to get help elsewhere. I think LS wins, but I'm

1159
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: only gonna put like four confidence points on it. I'm

1160
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: not confident in this game.

1161
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 1: I have forty two confidence points, not on the outcome

1162
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,720
Speaker 1: of this game, but on the fact that Jesse Palmer

1163
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 1: is going to start saying a Dave Randa defense in

1164
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: the way that he talks about a Gusmalson offense and

1165
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: a Bud Foster defense in the exact same way Dave

1166
00:59:57,800 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: Randa has heard his name. I've heard Dave Randa's name

1167
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe ten times more than any other coordinator in college

1168
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: football in the past six months, and with good reason.

1169
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 1: He's excellent. But I think his specific story is what

1170
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: is going to be latched onto by Jesse Palmer in

1171
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: a very big way moving forward. And you know what,

1172
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I like Jesse Palmer, I like

1173
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: Dave Randa, but it is an absolute certainty that a

1174
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Dave Randa defense is a thing. What is the gift

1175
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 1: situation here?

1176
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Uh?

1177
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: Coach O and the players actually don't know if the

1178
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: coaches walk away with anything, but in the Citrus Bowl,

1179
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 1: they will be walking away with a three hundred and

1180
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,440
Speaker 1: five dollars Best Buy Shopping three to oh five five.

1181
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: You can do pretty well with that.

1182
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 2: I think.

1183
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: Can you get an Xbox or a PS four for that?

1184
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 1: Are think three hundred dollars now, meybe, Yeah, you can

1185
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: get a PS one for it for sure. Sure, get

1186
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: a Timely Watch Company, watch Eye Slide Sandals. There it is, wow,

1187
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars towards Buffalo wild Wings because it is

1188
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bawl. I like that they throw.

1189
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: I don't remember if the Chick fil A Bowl whatever

1190
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: was giving away Chick fil A. Here's the item that

1191
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I love the most in this game. The Citrus Bowl

1192
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: is giving away and I quote EA Sports video game. Oh,

1193
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:24,480
Speaker 1: EA Sports video game. Oh yeah, so that's not that's

1194
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: not so they're either giving away n CUAA twenty fourteen

1195
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: was the last one we got twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Yeah,

1196
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 1: I think it was twenty fourteen. Maybe I'm wrong, whatever,

1197
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: but EA Sports video Game. That's awkward. Yeah, maybe it's

1198
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 1: the SIMS. Yeah, I guess that would just be ea.

1199
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think we both agree, Alsie.

1200
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 2: And then finally we've got the tax Slayer Bowl, same time,

1201
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:54,280
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve, eleven am. They play this one in Jacksonville.

1202
01:01:54,800 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 2: It's on ESPN, between Georgia Tech and Kentucky. Dan, they

1203
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 2: call it the tax Slayer Bowl. How about the forward

1204
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 2: Pass Slayer Bowl?

1205
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: Now, Dan, No, no, you're not wrong, but still no, no, Okay,

1206
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: how do you feel about this game? This is what

1207
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: I have down you want, I'm gonna read it verbatim

1208
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 1: what I have here, Go ahead. Georgia Tech offense good,

1209
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech defense not great. Kentucky ran super well, couldn't

1210
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: throw Kentucky defense not good. Kentucky thirty to twenty seven.

1211
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: That's what I have down here. Georgia Tech eight and four,

1212
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: three and a half point favorites over Kentucky seven and five.

1213
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 2: I feel like Kentucky played their bowl game last week

1214
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 2: of the season against Louisville, Okay, and they won. I

1215
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 2: don't know if they care much about going to the

1216
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 2: tax Slayer Bowl. To be honest with this is a

1217
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 2: pretty good game for Kentucky though. If I'm being honest,

1218
01:02:58,040 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: this is a good game to be playing on New

1219
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 2: Year's Eve. But I think, like I said, they played

1220
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 2: their biggest game of the year, final game of the year.

1221
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Now they go to Jacksonville. I got to believe they're

1222
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 2: outnumbered by Tech people.

1223
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: It's still a smaller school.

1224
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 2: It's a smaller school, but Tech is closer to Jacksonville,

1225
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: and they've got more of a presence in the Southeast

1226
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 2: and Kentucky football does. I think they have a lot

1227
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,320
Speaker 2: of success running their option. I like them to win

1228
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 2: the game to the tune of twenty one points here

1229
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech wins twenty one twenty one confidence points.

1230
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Wow.

1231
01:03:33,240 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 2: One thing that I did notice though, and this is

1232
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 2: probably more a story for twenty seventeen than it is

1233
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: for twenty sixteen.

1234
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Both these teams are really young. Stanley Boom Williams was

1235
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 1: secretly one of the most fun players to watch this year. Yeah,

1236
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: a great talent for Kentucky. All right, so you're going Kentucky,

1237
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm going Georgia Tech. Yeah. So we have let's see,

1238
01:03:54,200 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: we have taxes, greasy food, your credit, your credit, an

1239
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: efficient car, something to fix your car, something to put

1240
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: in your car, and somewhere to drive with the greasy

1241
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: food in your car to buy big clothes for all

1242
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: your greasy stel ladies and gentlemen. You're twenty sixteen Bowl sponsors,

1243
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: your bull sponsors, and I should add the Bowl game.

1244
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: The tax Layer Bowl is giving away fossil watch. A

1245
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: lot of people giving away watches. Yeah, which I'm good

1246
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: with a carry on bag, that's not bad. Hey, I

1247
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: still use my freebie that I got. I would take

1248
01:04:32,400 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 1: it happily under armor sunglasses. Didn't even know they made sunglasses.

1249
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 1: Nice A football, A bobblehead with the player's face, a

1250
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: custom babble that's cool.

1251
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 2: I like that.

1252
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: That's real cool. I would be very happy with that.

1253
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: And name and uniform number. Oh, it's part of those

1254
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:55,520
Speaker 1: say bubblehead with players face, cool, name and uniform number. Oh,

1255
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,959
Speaker 1: there's just a common between face, name and uniform numbers.

1256
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: So you're getting a custom bobblehead with your jersey. I

1257
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 1: guess cool. Yeah, that does it. That's it. That's also

1258
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,480

1265
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 2: the New York City area, that if you haven't already,

1266
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 2: you did get a chance to purchase tickets earlier today

1267
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,160

1269
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 2: about some other central themes in and around the world

1270
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 2: of college football over the course of the past season.

1271
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 2: Hopefully all those tickets are gone, though there's.

1272
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: No way of knowing right now for sure. While you

1273
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 1: are all saying that, you all, while you were saying that,

1274
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 1: I was thinking of the rhyming schemes that if it

1275
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: weren't Mitch Trubisky, if it were another quarterback that you

1276
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,360
Speaker 1: were trying to fail for, and I could not do

1277
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: better than don't play wiser for Kaiser.

1278
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 2: Yawn for DeShawn, yawn for Deshaun, Eliyah for Cotton.

1279
01:06:14,920 --> 01:06:17,600
Speaker 1: Now, whya is not really a word, but no, no, no, no, no,

1280
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: no sleep on a futon for DeShawn. I'm very bad

1281
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: at this. That's that's actually awful, especially bad. It is

1282
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 1: especially bad. I'm looking at the passing stats to see seniors.

1283
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: I know Davis Webb got attention early. I would not

1284
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:39,600
Speaker 1: draft him in the top EBB for Webb it rhymes

1285
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: hate for Nate Peterman, I.

1286
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: Would hate myself. I took Nate Peterman that that early. Yeah,

1287
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 2: I like Nate Peterman, but not that much.

1288
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: Play smelly for Chad Kelly. There it is head for

1289
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: the Hills, Perry Hills, Perry Hills. No, that's all I

01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,520
