<v Speaker 1>And Dan and Tye.

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to the Saliburbal boys and Girls. My name

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>is ty hilden Brandt. I am joined as always if

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm a good friend, my colleague, my co host of

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 2>many years, a gentleman, a fine gentleman by the name

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>of Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you?

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm good and wanted to take this opportunity first of

0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>all to thank everybody out there for all of their support. Unfortunately,

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I am not going to be participating in this episode, okay,

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I am going to be training for our live show

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 1>on January fourteenth, a Hill Country Chicken in New York City.

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Tickets available basically now, if you're listening to this, when

0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>is this show going up?

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>The show's going up on Wednesday. We're recording on a Tuesday.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 2>So this feels like a situation where we need to

0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 2>record an account for two possibilities, one of which is

0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>it was a raging success.

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm so sorry if you didn't get tickets.

0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>A huge success. We're sold out. Sorry, maybe next time.

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The second is plenty of tickets still available, any

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>of great seats still available or running out real quick,

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>so jump on it. Uh so whatever, just addit to that.

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>Also saving my voice for our live shows, video and

0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.720
<v Speaker 1>audio for the National Championship in Tampa. Yeah right, So

0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking about my future. So today it's just going

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.640
<v Speaker 1>to be you and Bryce Love. Bryce Love. It's just

0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna be you. And what's the backup plan? Maybe Darius

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Geis is going to be a part of it. Dais

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>guys joining us on the skypeline. Sure, yeah, so I do.

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I do appreciate it, but I have to look out

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.640
<v Speaker 1>for my future. We should get the breaking news. Yes

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we had brackets.

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Boo boom. The topic at hand here if you couldn't

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 2>figure it out from Dan's cute little intro there, Christian McCaffrey,

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Leo Fournette, now shaq Linnwood I saw. Who knows by

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the time this show goes up if there will be

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 2>any other names added to the list. But these kids

0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>are going to skip their bowl games to focus on

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. Yes, as you might have guessed, there is

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>much conjecture out there in the sports media realm about

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>what this means and how we should feel about these

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 2>kids foregoing the game to focus on their pro future. Dan,

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.480
<v Speaker 2>do you have a sense here? Do you have a

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 2>do you have a hot take?

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>No? And it's it's one of those weird situations that

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>we've come to sort of see with everybody that has

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>to weigh in on every story that yeah, right. The

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>reactions seem to be immediately understanding and supportive, but with

0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:59.920
<v Speaker 1>an undertone of like in anybody that thinks otherwise is

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:05.960
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, which is a very strange sort of go

0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.080
<v Speaker 1>between when you think about when you think about the

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>story at hand, which is just guys that play running

0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:14.679
<v Speaker 1>back don't want to play in TV exhibition games, and

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>if their teammates are fine with it, if their coaches

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>are fine with it, if their parents are fine with it,

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>if everybody's supportive in their life other than studio analyst

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>John Doe. I think I'm cool with it. I think

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm good with it. It's hard for me to get work.

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>If it were to Shaun Watson doing it, I'd be like, man,

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>that's a little bit off. He got his team to

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>the college bable playoff and too the brink of a

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:42.680
<v Speaker 1>national championship game. He should be playing for his team

0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and finish the season. But Sun Bowl, I I don't know.

0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you a question, Dan, Yeah, Tom Herman

0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 2>just left Houston before their bowl game to take the

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:54.840
<v Speaker 2>Texas job.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, what was the reaction to that?

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>What a great hire from It was such a great

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:03.360
<v Speaker 2>move for Tom Herman for Texas.

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 1>It just makes sense. Mm hmmm hmmm.

0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>When the shoes on the other foot now and it's

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>the unpaid athlete, right, all of a sudden, it's it's

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>a referendum on the bowl system, some sort of political

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.960
<v Speaker 2>statement in some cases. Yeah, many of the people arguing

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>against this were never good enough to be faced with

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the decision to go pro early, right, And I just

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.279
<v Speaker 2>I believe in life that not everything's black and white.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes a fresh dose of perspective can change your opinion.

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.320
<v Speaker 2>By the way, changing your opinion on something isn't a weakness.

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 2>That can be healthy too. It's not all like black

0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 2>and white here, and it doesn't need to mean something

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 2>more than Hey, I'm just I'm a little worried about

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:47.680
<v Speaker 2>getting hurt, and I really want to go pro and

0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>make a living at this full time.

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:50.760
<v Speaker 1>And I saw a lot of a lot of people

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>referencing Jalen Smith from last year. Yeah, the all everything

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>linebacker for Notre Dame who was a surefire top tennis

0:04:58.440 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>pick and who stumbled into the second round, second round, Cowboys,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>second round. Yes, he took out an insurance policy so

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.440
<v Speaker 1>did make some money back after he got hurt against

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State in the festival, and he came out and said,

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:12.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, if I could do it all over again,

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.720
<v Speaker 1>I would play. And I saw I don't know if

0:05:15.760 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it was Kirk Herbstreet, who I like a lot. They

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>were using that as a sort of referendum of saying, well,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>my opinion is correct. Because now that Jalen Smith would

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>do it all over again even with an injury, then

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>clearly that's the correct opinion. Here's here's how I come down.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 1>Just what you said, Ty, It's okay for different people

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to have different opinions and do what they feel is

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:40.600
<v Speaker 1>best for them. That's that's cool. I'm disappointed I don't

0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>get to see Christian McCaffrey play again, but he's touched

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>the ball seven hundred and fifty times in two years.

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Feel like that's more than enough.

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>And guess what tonight we're going to talk about what

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 2>that means in the context of our confidence pool.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Ooh.

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's got some ramifications. So it was already

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 2>a tough game to pick. Maybe this makes it a

0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>little easier.

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll see, we'll see what we get there.

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>But the point is, Hey, Tom Herman, great move, great

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 2>move for him. I'm so happy for him. Houston players

0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>they were happy for him. Coach Herman, you don't sound happy, ty, No,

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:15.840
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of goofy, kind of goofy when the shoes

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 2>in the other foot. In other news, Jimbo Fisher reupted

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>through twenty twenty four. If math serves me, that's like

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 2>what eight.

0:06:24.160 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Years ish sounds right. Yeah.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.560
<v Speaker 2>If he leaves early, according to Bud Elliott, it's not

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>a great deal for Florida State. If he doesn't leave early,

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:33.839
<v Speaker 2>then it's kind of a steal.

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Either way, I think a good move for Florida State.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Jimbo Fisher is a good coach. He's taken them to

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 2>great heights in the early part of his coaching tenure,

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and we do hope for Florida State that they achieve

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 2>continued success, so good for him.

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how many active FBS coaches have won national championships?

0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Like five something like that. Yeah, it's a very good coach.

0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 1>He recruits well, seems to be seems to feel at

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>home and to not fully take overtures seriously to go elsewhere.

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>We saw perhaps some mutual interests here with LSU that

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>never really went anywhere. He seemed to ask for the world,

0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>So he's receiving the world in Tallahassee. Hope it works

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>out for everybody.

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Also, the very first coaching interview we did on the

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>show Jimbo Fisher.

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>That is that true? That is true? The very first one.

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I know Al Golden when he was at Temple was

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>very early.

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 2>But Jimbo Fisher was the very first interview before he

0:07:28.400 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>had coached a game, before he had coached a game

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 2>as a head coach.

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, who is the first interview we've ever done? Period?

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 2>It was either Andy Gray or Jimmy Trena. I know

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 2>it had to have been somebody from MESSI have be

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.040
<v Speaker 2>someone from MESSI that was our only connection back then. Well,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 2>we could have interviewed Stuart Andy, we could have that's true.

0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Also, I'm going to use this as a jumping off tease, Ty,

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 1>I think sometime this coming off season, this spring summer

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.920
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. Our pals at the Starters, we've

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>referenced them formerly Basketball Jones. They did a magnificent show

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this past January or February outlining in detail their lives

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and the history of the Starter slash Basketball Jones. Oh,

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>that was a great show. Look for it. It was, Yeah,

0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>it was January February. Look for it. It's a great

0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like an hour and a half. Listen. It's it

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 1>parallels our story in such crazy ways. I don't know

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.360
<v Speaker 1>if it'll be this year, maybe next year. This will

0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>be our God, we started the show in August of

0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.320
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and eight. This is going to be our

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>tenth season.

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.200
<v Speaker 2>So in twenty seventeen it'll be our tenth college football season.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so twenty seventeen will be our tenth college football season,

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.440
<v Speaker 1>so our ninth off season or whatever it is. So

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>we will either do it this year for a nine

0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:41.559
<v Speaker 1>year anniversary, or who knows.

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>We could do it in celebration of our tenth season. Yeah, preemptively,

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that'd be fun. We got a long offseason,

0:08:48.640 --> 0:08:50.319
<v Speaker 2>dog to talk about something.

0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Can't stress enough. We are here once a week all

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>year long, twice a week during the season, so don't

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>don't alter those podcasts listening plans because it gets weird

0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in June. It really does. It gets weird, but it

0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 1>gets fun.

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the other news, the only news unless there's something

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:12.120
<v Speaker 2>I missed that was glaring. Tulsa beat Central Mission in

0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 2>the Miami Beach Bowl by a score of fifty five

0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 2>to ten. Hopefully folks took our advice and went on Tulsa.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 1>By the way, what do you got?

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>It looks like a lot of people did take our

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.640
<v Speaker 2>advice and they used this newfound East Coast Elliott strategicy.

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I have not informed Elliot yet.

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if he's in our pool, but a

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of folks are doing exactly as we advised in

0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:39.079
<v Speaker 2>front loading their points. Our group is now number six

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 2>overall in the entire ESPN ecosystem. The gentleman who's first

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.719
<v Speaker 2>in our pool is only participating in our pool. But

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 2>the way ESPN does it, you can enter your entry

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>in a couple others. I think we've got the first

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 2>place guy or gal in the Rosillo and Canal pool.

0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>We've got someone who's doing really well on the Todd

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Shay Pool, Like, we've got the finest of the fine

0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.959
<v Speaker 2>here competing in the solid putable kindness. It's like fine,

0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.760
<v Speaker 2>It's like the Champions League here is what we got

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 2>going on, and you know, you go and play in

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the other suboptimal leagues, but we've got our Champions League

0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:19.800
<v Speaker 2>going on here, and it seems like it's going pretty

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:21.199
<v Speaker 2>well so far. People have been having a lot of

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>fun with it. So hopefully it continues and our picks

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>keep winning. But so far, so good.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Premature piculation, I hope, so yeah, I hope it keeps going.

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, Dane Evans had a really nice day for Tulsa.

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I had them with I think twenty seven confidence points

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>because always anti Chippewak, Cooper Rush barely got by the

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:43.920
<v Speaker 1>bar Mitzvah threshold quarterback rating of thirteen point seven and.

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 2>The bar Mitzvah threshold. The bar mitzva threshold is that

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:48.760
<v Speaker 2>a thing or did you just make that up?

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I have that in my head and I just assume

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody knows all the dumb statistical things that I invent

0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:59.079
<v Speaker 1>in my head. But yes, the bar Mitzvah threshold is

0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.200
<v Speaker 1>if you can have a rating or a QBR above thirteen.

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 1>You're bad, but you're not embarrassing. So you just made

0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>that up now right on the fly. No, this I

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>probably made up week seven looking at you, but you

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.199
<v Speaker 1>didn't use it until now. Now. I didn't use it

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.959
<v Speaker 1>until now. It reminded me because the QBR was exactly

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>at thirteen point seven or so. He got just about

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.679
<v Speaker 1>he just had his bar mitzvah with his terrible performance.

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I am going to upon the suggestion of a loyal

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.599
<v Speaker 2>overballer named Mike, who I know is listening to the

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.160
<v Speaker 2>show forever and is a talented writer. He suggested that

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 2>on the next iteration of soliverbal dot com, which I'm

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 2>in the process of just cobbling together piecemeal here and

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll get it out at some point in twenty seventeen,

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>his suggestion was to put some sort of glossary of terms,

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.800
<v Speaker 2>oh my god on the website, which could be a

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>lengthy process, but I have started it.

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Ty, we are so stupid about so many things.

0:11:50.920 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>We are so stupid about so many things. But we

0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of inside baseball terminology, and you know,

0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 2>this could be this could be danalytics right.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Here, like your version of analytics. Do you know how

0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>many pages I have in my Google document that is

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:09.800
<v Speaker 1>called analytics I have? I have so many pages in

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>my document that Google has informed me that I've reached

0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>like the two hundred thousand cell limit. Okay, so I've

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 1>had to create a d analytics part due. So I have

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:20.560
<v Speaker 1>there's like sixty seven pages.

0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Why have you not allowed me like access to this

0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 2>so I can turn lose some scripting on it?

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Okay, That's what I'm gonna do eventually, because I'm all

0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing is copy pasting your scripting, and we should

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>well let you go crazy.

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:36.600

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 2>kind of self control, true, they don't got that kind

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>of self control to even think about, hey, what's healthy.

<v Speaker 2>ESPN Virginia Tech at nine and four A seven yes,

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:25.280
<v Speaker 2>seven point favorite over seven and five. Arkansas Dan, otherwise

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>known as Arkansas Belk, I am told after many years

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>of doing this show, come on Ty is a department

0:16:35.040 --> 0:16:36.480
<v Speaker 2>store for Southern gentlemen.

0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:38.960
<v Speaker 1>It is. I think it's for not just gentlemen, for

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>ladies as well.

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>So I would think if you could get your gift

0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 2>sheet out that this should be an outstanding gift situation. No,

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>not very clear, but I think decent shopping trip to

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Belk department store, fossil watch. It doesn't indicate how much

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 2>it's for, but it's I've been to a Belk, I

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 2>think in Charlotte's and totally fine. Does it compare to

0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 2>like a Macy's, a JC Penny and nort likeke.

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think like a Macy's type. Yeah. See, I

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:08.560
<v Speaker 1>think if you're.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>Going to do a shopping trip, that's an okay place

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to do it because you got a lot of variety

0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 2>to pick from.

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:15.639
<v Speaker 1>You have variety if you need a suit jacket, if

0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:17.360
<v Speaker 1>you need some pants, you need some jeans, you need

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>a polo shirt of some kinds. It's such a business casual.

0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I think you'll be good to go at Belk.

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 2>So how do you feel about this game?

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Mixed? Yeah? Mixed? So lit is what we know about

0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech at this point. New coach and Justin he

0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>had he did a great job. I think he exceeded

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 1>expectations yere one, especially with the first Yer quarterback and

0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.360
<v Speaker 1>draw to Evans. They were a good passing team, kind

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 1>of an average running team, which all things considered, from

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what they brought back in the run game, that's it

0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.280
<v Speaker 1>was pretty good. Iss af Ford and Cam Phillips were

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.840
<v Speaker 1>one of a few really good ACC receiver tandems. So

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 1>all in all, Virginia Tech had the type of season

0:17:56.000 --> 0:17:59.119
<v Speaker 1>where they beat decent teams, lost to disappointing teams and

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 1>in disappointing fast but they won their division. They made

0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>it to the a SEC Championship game, and that was

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>largely because of Bud Foster and that blue collar lunch

0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>pail defense. Sure that was largely. I mean, Woody Baron

0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and Tremaine Edwards were very good on the line for them,

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and it was they have the best pass defense in

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.320
<v Speaker 1>the ACC. I think it's it's not unfair to say

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>that given what they're able to do against some of

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the better teams in the conference. They were very good

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 1>against the pass, and that actually is an interesting matchup

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 1>against Arkansas, who offensively it's kind of only passing because

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's definitely not defense. That got Arkansas here, or maybe

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it sort of did.

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 2>So.

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech seems to be the more talented and more

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>together team. Arkansas has arguably the worst Power five defense

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:46.400
<v Speaker 1>in the land. So I like Virginia Tech here by

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.160
<v Speaker 1>double digits. I have him thirty seven to twenty Hokies.

0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Austin Allen is alright, had his moments. Something I noticed

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 1>in looking at some quarterback stats. He was tied for

0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the lead in interceptions among SEC quarterbacks and was the

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.360
<v Speaker 1>top three quarterback in the SEC at the same time.

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Correct, there's that, correct, Dan. You talk a lot about

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:10.280
<v Speaker 2>the analytics I do. I do the esteemed analytics. If

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 2>we could for a second, can we do a deep

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:14.760
<v Speaker 2>dive into the tiometrics.

0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Tiometrics not statistics.

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, okay, the tiometrics. Would you like

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 2>a trivia question about about Jerrod Evans in this game?

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I could not wait more.

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 2>What does Gerrod Evans have in common with Jake Browning,

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Brad Kaya, and Eric Dungeye from Syracuse all good quarterbacks,

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.919
<v Speaker 2>but also Kyle schrmer C J. Bethard, and Ryan Burns

0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 2>your company's computer guy from Stanford. Yeah, I.

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Don't know. Is a bad third quarter, quarterback or something.

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:45.679
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea.

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.760
<v Speaker 2>All of them through exactly seven interceptions this season. Oh okay,

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:53.959
<v Speaker 2>it's a fun little tidbit for you, completely meaningless. I

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:57.680
<v Speaker 2>feel like Tech's going to finish strong. Justin Fuente, first

0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 2>year head coach, damn near beat Clemson in the CEC

0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.439
<v Speaker 2>title game. No chance in hell is he mailing this

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 2>one in. And on the flip side you get Arkansas.

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.480
<v Speaker 2>They dropped their final game to Missouri. Defensively a mess

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 2>all year. I think there's a chance Tech runs Arkansas

0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.919
<v Speaker 2>off the field. Yeah, I really do. I think they

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>finished strong. I think Justin Fuente is going to approach

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.439
<v Speaker 2>every single solitary game like he's trying to build the

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 2>next great machine.

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.399
<v Speaker 1>Are you worried that Virginia Tech almost exclusively loses to

0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.960
<v Speaker 1>teams that are clearly worse than the Hokies.

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not because I feel like that game we saw

0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:37.080
<v Speaker 2>against Clemson was like a sign of things to come.

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:39.359
<v Speaker 2>What I liked about them in that game is they

0:20:39.359 --> 0:20:41.719
<v Speaker 2>were down. It looked the entire game as if they

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>were going to lose, and they still continue to fight.

0:20:44.119 --> 0:20:46.160
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like that fight's going to continue now

0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.280
<v Speaker 2>into a Bowl game. I feel like Fluente's got something

0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>to prove.

0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Also, Arkansas doesn't force a ton of turnovers.

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 2>They don't force a ton of turnovers. They're for the

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>most part, pretty one dimensional on offense. It just seems

0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to me like there's a lot working in tech fase here.

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 2>So I think a big game from grod Evans. I

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:04.240
<v Speaker 2>think if they want to run the ball, they can,

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:06.960
<v Speaker 2>certainly they can. I think Tech wins thirty five to

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, twenty three points for me.

0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Virginia Tech, according to the d Analytics, not the Taiometrics,

0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the sixth best team in terms of preventing excuse me,

0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:18.480
<v Speaker 1>chunk plays. That defense keeps things in front of them.

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Chunk plays huh ten plus yards chunk plays.

0:21:22.640 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yes, on a per play level. Who are you

0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 1>going with? E I'm going with the Hokies thirty seven

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>to twenty all right, we agree?

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:32.919
<v Speaker 2>We were Valero, Alamobile, Dan San Antonio. It's in the

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:33.879
<v Speaker 2>Alamo Dome.

0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.239
<v Speaker 1>The Alamo Dome. Fun, you'ver been there. I've never been

0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.560
<v Speaker 1>to San Antonio, And on my search for the best

0:21:40.600 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 1>tacos in the world, that seems dumb, because I should

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>go to major Texas and minor Texas cities to continue

0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:48.640
<v Speaker 1>my search. So, no, I've never been to the Almo Dome.

0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I've heard wonderful things about the city of San Antonio.

0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Okay for the Alamobile, the Alamo itself is quite small.

0:21:56.520 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we should skip the title game next year, just

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.919
<v Speaker 2>go go to the Alamo, just go Amable.

0:22:01.040 --> 0:22:03.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, I could do that.

0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:07.119
<v Speaker 2>Another game on Thursday, December twenty ninth, this one at

0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:11.879
<v Speaker 2>nine pm on ESPN. We've got Colorado at ten and

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:15.520
<v Speaker 2>three a charmed season. They are a three and one

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 2>half point favorite over Oklahoma State. Okie State finished nine

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 2>and three. I understand Jim Levitt will not be part

0:22:24.480 --> 0:22:24.960
<v Speaker 2>of this game.

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Correct, No, he's in Eugene already.

0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So Jim Levitt, the former defensive coordinator for Colorado. He

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.320
<v Speaker 2>is leaving to be part of the new Willie Taggart

0:22:34.359 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 2>staff up there in Eugene, Oregon. I learned that he

0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>loves pepsi pepsi. He like drinks forty pepsis a day

0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 2>that does that does not seem healthy.

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>You don't hear that a lot? Also, soda might be

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a one seed on our things that people like that

0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:52.240
<v Speaker 1>are actually garbage. Bracket.

0:22:52.280 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 2>I saw something on Facebook, so it must be true

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:58.800
<v Speaker 2>that if you're having an issue with like hard water

0:22:59.320 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>and you get the weird stains in the toilet.

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>What is hard water? You never heard of hard water before? No?

0:23:07.119 --> 0:23:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh, Dan art of the hard water. Hard

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 2>water is a thing that has high mineral content. Yeah,

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:16.600
<v Speaker 2>high mineral content. Sure, it can harm your your appliances

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.240
<v Speaker 2>that use water. I've got a water software in the basement.

0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 2>I have to add salt to it periodically. Actually have

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to do it now.

0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, maybe I'll go do it tonight. Can you do

0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it live on the show? Sure? Why not? No, I've

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>never heard of water hardness. You East Coast people are

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.400
<v Speaker 1>leading such bad lives. I'm one of them.

0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 2>You are one of them. Hard Water is a thing,

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes it can lead to stains. Sometimes you can

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>get stains in your toilet from it. It looks like

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 2>you're unsanitary, but in fact it's just because of the water.

0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I've learned that these stains that are nearly impossible to

0:23:47.800 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 2>just wipe out with a normal toilet brush. If you

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.400
<v Speaker 2>pour coke in the toilet, oh, I believe it will

0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:54.120
<v Speaker 2>just melt it off.

0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I think I cleaned out one of the apartment bathrooms

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:03.359
<v Speaker 1>I had in college or something with a bunch of

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Coca Cola, Like, we just let it sit there and

0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 1>eat away. That shouldn't be in your stomach.

0:24:07.720 --> 0:24:11.800
<v Speaker 2>It will engine Yeah, yeah, as you might have guessed,

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Coca Cola not a sponsor this show.

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:16.000
<v Speaker 1>No, not a sponsor. And Jim Levitt not coaching in

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 1>this game, not coaching at this game. All right.

0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I looked at this matchup. I really wanted to like

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Colorado way more than I did. Then I looked at

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>the spread, and I realized.

0:24:26.280 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not alone, Dan, Okay, I'm not alone.

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Why am I hesitant here? Why am I so hesitant

0:24:32.000 --> 0:24:33.280
<v Speaker 2>with Colorado? I've been all year.

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Their offense can stagnate pretty easily. Say Alufal keeps getting hurt.

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.320
<v Speaker 1>We saw him hurt. I believe his ankle against Washington

0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.480
<v Speaker 1>in the PAC twelve title game. Philip Lindsay's talented, but

0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:47.760
<v Speaker 1>overall they're only sort of okay on the ground, Okay

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.240
<v Speaker 1>through the air. They're all around pretty solid on offense.

0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I like the receivers Sheffields and Devin Ross. Their defense

0:24:53.400 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 1>is great. They have two NFL corners in Tedrick Thompson.

0:24:56.960 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 1>I know they sort of play all over the place,

0:24:58.560 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Nickella Witherspoon. They led the Pac twelve and passes defended,

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 1>so they should be able to keep this Oklahoma State

0:25:05.000 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 1>defense in front of them. Because Oklahoma State another team

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>the d analytics love. They love the chunk plays. But

0:25:12.520 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that Colorado is going to be able

0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to generate enough offense if this gets into a shootout.

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma State's defense can struggle a little bit. You can

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 1>move the ball on them. They're greatly improved running the ball.

0:25:27.359 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 1>I have Oklahoma State here by ten. Whoa I'm going

0:25:31.000 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm going up with the Cowboys outright. I think they've

0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>got momentum. I don't think they're going to They don't

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.879
<v Speaker 1>lose to a team like Colorado who's going to struggle

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.480
<v Speaker 1>to move the ball. I have thirty one to twenty

0:25:40.560 --> 0:25:44.439
<v Speaker 1>one Oklahoma State, especially because Saint Flulufau just always seems

0:25:44.480 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 1>like he's hurt, because he is always hurt. I think

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Colorado in terms of interest, I think their season peaked

0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 1>with that Washington game, and it's a bit of a

0:25:54.920 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 1>letdown part of the year. Interesting. So let me get

0:25:57.880 --> 0:25:58.200
<v Speaker 1>this straight.

0:25:58.240 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State has momentum because they lost by eighteen at

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma to close out.

0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, no, they lose, they will lose to a team

0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:08.800
<v Speaker 1>that can take advantage of their defense. I just don't

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.639
<v Speaker 1>think Colorado is that type of team. Okay, and they

0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>were in that cham they shot themselves in the foot

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>a ton I had you pegged for Colorado here because

0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 1>they're in the PAC twelve. But I really like Colorado,

0:26:18.200 --> 0:26:21.760
<v Speaker 1>but it's I don't know against this Oklahoma State team.

0:26:22.119 --> 0:26:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I think they're built to be able to play with Colorado. Interesting.

0:26:26.280 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I'm going to go the other way, but

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:31.960
<v Speaker 2>you're right about Colorado. There is some reason to be

0:26:32.080 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 2>skeptical here. They did get bombed in the Pac twelve game,

0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of that was on the ground too.

0:26:37.400 --> 0:26:38.960
<v Speaker 2>A lot of that was on the ground. Sure people

0:26:39.000 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>are gonna say, well, Sefo lou Foul got hurt in

0:26:42.119 --> 0:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the Washington game, and certainly that's when the game came

0:26:45.280 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 2>off the rails. But Washington would have won that game

0:26:47.359 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 2>pretty big either way. If you go back and look

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 2>at it, they would have won that game. I think

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Oklahoma State's overrated. I am not at all impressed by

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.280
<v Speaker 2>their resume. The offense is good because it's always good.

0:26:59.840 --> 0:27:02.720
<v Speaker 2>They just lost the Miami Beach Bowl by proxy, thank you.

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:08.480
<v Speaker 2>The defense is garbage garbage this season, and I'm just

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 2>gonna favor the team with the better defense. I know

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:13.440
<v Speaker 2>they lose Jym eleven and I'm not super confident here,

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:18.360
<v Speaker 2>but i haven't been all year. So let's say Colorado plays.

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:21.720
<v Speaker 2>They're still playing to earn respect. They're I think a

0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:26.240
<v Speaker 2>more balanced team than Oklahoma State. Not super confident. I'm

0:27:26.240 --> 0:27:29.159
<v Speaker 2>gonna go Colorado wins, but only fourteen points. Probably a

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:29.840
<v Speaker 2>close game.

0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:33.880
<v Speaker 1>They are giving away. This might be my number one, ty, Really,

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.800
<v Speaker 1>this might be my number one. I'm going to start

0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 1>with the smaller items and work up in sort of

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:43.680
<v Speaker 1>against what I've been doing. A mini helmet, fine, whatever, team,

0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:48.600
<v Speaker 1>panoramic photo. Yeah, there's some sentiment there. Whatever. Sure, A

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:51.840
<v Speaker 1>my charge hub plus portable charger, seeing on and on

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.919
<v Speaker 1>about it. It's the year the portable charger one hundred

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and ten dollars, Best Buy gift card one hundred and

0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>ten very specific but useful, okay?

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:01.439
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And an Apple Watch. Wow? Yeah, I think the Apple

0:28:05.119 --> 0:28:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Watch is garbage. I think that figures in my bracket

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.400
<v Speaker 1>of things people like that. I'm wearing one right now.

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I know you are.

0:28:11.640 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Still that's an impressive haul. So you're going Oak State.

0:28:14.840 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm going Colorado here, correct, we disagree, we do disagree.

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's move on. Let's go to the AutoZone

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Liberty Bowl.

0:28:21.200 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>Get in the Zone. Get in the zone baby.

0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>On Friday, December thirtieth, at high noon on ESPN, We've

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:31.840
<v Speaker 2>got Georgia at seven and five, a one point favorite

0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.600
<v Speaker 2>over TCU at six and six. Dan, I would urge

0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 2>people who work in corporate America not to take a

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:43.440
<v Speaker 2>vacation day to watch this game. Do not, like, even

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 2>if you're thirtieth, right, yeah, the thirtieth, even if you're

0:28:46.640 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 2>a Georgia or a TCU fan or a lum roll

0:28:51.840 --> 0:28:54.760
<v Speaker 2>your time over into twenty seventeen, Like, just don't don't

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:55.680
<v Speaker 2>do it for this game.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:29:00.040
<v Speaker 1>So I have a story about the thirtieth, right, So

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 1>that's Friday, December thirtieth, Yes, as it relates to these games.

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>So we have the Liberty Bowl, we have the Sun Bowl,

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the Music City Bowl, and the Home Loans Bowl, the

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Home Loans Arizona Bowl. Right, So Solid Fiance is going

0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>to be in New York. I'm going to be in California,

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>but I'm coming back the twenty ninth. And she wanted

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to go see a Broadway play because my mom wanted

0:29:25.280 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to get us a gift for like our engagement. She said,

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 1>go to a Broadway play on me. It's cool. Okay,

0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a great, it's very kind thing. Yeah. So

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>solid fiance is going to be here, she's hanging out,

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 1>she'll be bored not working during the holiday break. And

0:29:39.720 --> 0:29:41.600
<v Speaker 1>she said, how about we get tickets to see And

0:29:41.640 --> 0:29:43.840
<v Speaker 1>I was very happy about this. Oh hello, which is

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:47.720
<v Speaker 1>John mullaney and Nick Kroll their two man Broadway show.

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Why don't we see that on the thirtieth? And my

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 1>first instinct was like, oh, I mean there's Bowl games.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I looked at the schedule and I said, yeah, okay, yeah,

0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:59.840
<v Speaker 1>let's do it. Sure can I it's at two pm?

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Wonderful have tickets. That's what I'm gonna be doing. I'll

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 1>tape these good for you. So what do we have?

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So we're talking Auto's Own Liberty Ball Georgia Tco.

0:30:08.960 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>It feels like the game between the car that starts

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.760
<v Speaker 2>fifty percent of the time and the car that always starts.

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:18.920
<v Speaker 1>But has a doughnut on the back wheel. Well, if

0:30:18.960 --> 0:30:21.880
<v Speaker 1>one of those cars couldn't run or throw, it might

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:25.560
<v Speaker 1>be Georgia. Yeah, because their offense was a struggle this year.

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 1>They couldn't run. They were even worse throwing the ball,

0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:32.480
<v Speaker 1>which is sort of understandable. New coach, freshman quarterback dog

0:30:32.560 --> 0:30:34.680
<v Speaker 1>defense was really really good versus the run, and they

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:38.480
<v Speaker 1>were pretty good against the pass. But man, it was

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:41.080
<v Speaker 1>just it was not a great year for Georgia. It

0:30:41.200 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 1>was There's not a ton you can take away happy

0:30:43.320 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>they beat North Carolina early, They I mean, disappointing on

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the ground, which is kind of shocking considering the running

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:52.480
<v Speaker 1>back talent they had. But here's the good news. TCU

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:56.920
<v Speaker 1>sees your embarrassing season and raises you one of their

0:30:56.960 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 1>own because they ran pretty well. They were themselves also

0:31:00.920 --> 0:31:04.600
<v Speaker 1>garbage throwing the ball. Defense wasn't great versus the run.

0:31:04.680 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>It was all right versus the past. Josh Caroway's big

0:31:06.760 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 1>ear was sort of lost in a lot of TCU struggles.

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:15.719
<v Speaker 1>I have because I think Georgia is a team of extremes,

0:31:15.840 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 1>bad offense, pretty fun defense, and TCU is just sort

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of halfway disappointing on both sides. I'm actually gonna roll

0:31:22.360 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>with TCU. Wow, I'm gonna go with TCU. I know

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:29.040
<v Speaker 1>they're what a one point underdog? Yep. I think at

0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:32.760
<v Speaker 1>this point blue chip guys at Georgia will be more

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:36.960
<v Speaker 1>disappointed to be in the Liberty Bowl than TCU's team.

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 1>So I have twenty one twenty seventeen TCU that went

0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:40.680
<v Speaker 1>by a field goal.

0:31:40.800 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 2>That's a really great theory. Wow, it could be totally

0:31:46.880 --> 0:31:49.120
<v Speaker 2>wrong and there's a good chance of that. Yeah, I'm

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 2>second guessing my pick. I'm gonna go Georgia here. I

0:31:52.360 --> 0:31:55.800
<v Speaker 2>have zero feel for this game, zero feel for this game.

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I am going to act impulsively and spitefully inside with

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Georgia because you might remember TCU was now infamously my

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 2>preseason playoff pick. They're in the freaking Liberty Bowl. They're

0:32:09.840 --> 0:32:14.080
<v Speaker 2>my playoff pick. They're garbage against the run, and they've

0:32:14.120 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 2>been dealing with whatever Kenny Hill's doing all year.

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I don't know if they yanked him for good

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>yet or.

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Not, but to be fair, Georgia is also hot garbage

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.120
<v Speaker 2>at least on offense, one hundred and fifth nationally in

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:31.479
<v Speaker 2>points per game. Defensively, You're right, though, they were above average.

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:35.040
<v Speaker 2>We got to stop calling people and things and teams garbage.

0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 2>We got to come up with new words, even though

0:32:37.360 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 2>it might be true.

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>We have to span. It's my fault.

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I have no place to slot this game because of

0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.760
<v Speaker 2>the way I planned out the rest of my confidence pool,

0:32:48.880 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 2>which is like a triple whammie. Here, I am gonna

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>go Georgia and I'm gonna go twenty six points and

0:32:54.040 --> 0:32:55.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna feel good about it at all. I'm

0:32:55.840 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 2>just gonna roll the dice. It's a one point line, truthfully,

0:32:58.960 --> 0:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>you know it. I know it. This could go either way.

0:33:01.200 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 2>So let's just let's go Georgia. I've said for a

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:06.160
<v Speaker 2>long time they would be my SEC team. They were

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 2>nice to me when I went down to visit Athens

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:11.440
<v Speaker 2>a long long time ago, back in oh nine. Let's

0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:12.120
<v Speaker 2>just go dogs.

0:33:12.160 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go.

0:33:14.000 --> 0:33:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Twenty six points, and let's just take the medicine and

0:33:16.240 --> 0:33:16.960
<v Speaker 2>hope it works out.

0:33:17.440 --> 0:33:21.960

<v Speaker 1>Okay? Pro Team HD binocular is a below of a watch, Okay,

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:12.040

0:34:12.040 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>a college kid walk away with Nike athletic shoes, sports sandals,

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:21.560
<v Speaker 1>no indication if they're eye slides, backpack and sunglasses and

0:34:21.600 --> 0:34:26.640
<v Speaker 1>a football. It's whatever they lack in quality, or maybe

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:28.439
<v Speaker 1>they don't lack. You're getting a bunch from this game.

0:34:28.880 --> 0:34:30.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, I'm still hung up on when I thought

0:34:30.640 --> 0:34:32.920
<v Speaker 2>you said Oculus Bro. I keep think Oculus Bro. I

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:34.799
<v Speaker 2>keep thinking Brady Quinn as Oculus Bro.

0:34:36.600 --> 0:34:40.839
<v Speaker 1>You get Brady Quinn branded binoculars. All right, that's good haul.

0:34:40.960 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I'd be okay with that.

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the Hyundai Sunbowl Dan and El Paso, Texas. HM.

0:34:47.320 --> 0:34:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Is this the final game of Uncle Vern? I believe so? Yes.

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Friday again, December to December thirtieth. Excuse me, two

0:34:57.040 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 2>pm CBS. We've got Stanford at nine and three. They

0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:02.800
<v Speaker 2>are at least a time of recording. I don't know

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:04.279
<v Speaker 2>if they changed this at all, about a three to

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.120
<v Speaker 2>three and a half point favorite. They are now going

0:35:07.440 --> 0:35:10.719
<v Speaker 2>against North Carolina. As you heard at the top of

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the show, Christian McCaffrey not going to be playing in

0:35:12.800 --> 0:35:13.120
<v Speaker 2>this one.

0:35:13.719 --> 0:35:13.879
<v Speaker 1>Yea.

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 2>It is a big deal for obvious reasons. I saw

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:24.759
<v Speaker 2>David Lombardi from ESPN posted this little nugget. Christian McCaffrey

0:35:24.880 --> 0:35:30.120
<v Speaker 2>has accounted for forty five point seven of Stanford's offensive

0:35:30.239 --> 0:35:33.440
<v Speaker 2>touches over the past two seasons. That is the highest

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:38.040
<v Speaker 2>rate in the Football Bowl Subdivision. For reference, Danel Pumphrey

0:35:38.080 --> 0:35:40.879
<v Speaker 2>from San Diego State is at forty four point four.

0:35:41.640 --> 0:35:46.120
<v Speaker 2>If you throw in returns, McCaffrey has five hundred and

0:35:46.320 --> 0:35:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ninety three touches in the last two seasons, which is

0:35:49.960 --> 0:35:53.000
<v Speaker 2>obviously a tremendous amount, Dani. Yeah, I will also throw

0:35:53.080 --> 0:35:56.520
<v Speaker 2>this little nugget in there. Everyone's talking about Christian McCaffrey

0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:59.919
<v Speaker 2>right now. I read something for the first time last week.

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Have you heard of the quote unquote ditch for Mitch

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 2>campaign yet?

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:07.480
<v Speaker 1>No, I've heard Mitch Trubisky's name, as he's going to

0:36:07.520 --> 0:36:09.759
<v Speaker 1>be the first quarterback off the board, and I have

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:12.279
<v Speaker 1>very limited thoughts about that.

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:15.960
<v Speaker 2>The Browns are zero and fourteen. They lost again this weekend,

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:17.560
<v Speaker 2>like thirty three to thirteen of Buffalo.

0:36:17.960 --> 0:36:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:36:18.560 --> 0:36:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Some sports writers are now calling this the Ditch for

0:36:21.239 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Mitch campaign, as if it's some sort of like statement

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>by the Browns to go out and achieve greater success

0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>by losing all their games to get I'm laughing here.

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry to get Mitch Trubisky. I like Mitch Trubisky.

0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:37.680
<v Speaker 2>He had a great year. He's got great physical tools.

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:40.560
<v Speaker 2>But Dan, we need to pump the brakes on Mitch

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Trubisky here. When you start talking about tanking to get

0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.120
<v Speaker 2>a guy, that guy he got to be like once

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.719
<v Speaker 2>in a generation, he gotta be can't miss, right. I

0:36:49.800 --> 0:36:52.080
<v Speaker 2>feel like he got to be someone other than Mitch Trubisky.

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Mitch Trubisky's that guy. He's just he's

0:36:55.440 --> 0:36:58.719
<v Speaker 2>not Peyton Manning, he's not Andrew Luck, he's not he's

0:36:58.800 --> 0:36:59.919
<v Speaker 2>not any of those guys.

0:37:00.640 --> 0:37:04.320
<v Speaker 1>So here's my general rule of thinking. And this is

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.800
<v Speaker 1>danalytic free. And you can look up Mitch Trubisky's his

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 1>stats against better teams and they're fine, They're nothing crazy.

0:37:11.120 --> 0:37:13.279
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think that tells the full story my

0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 1>d analytics free analysis of should you take a quarterback

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.399
<v Speaker 1>in the first round? And I'm not an NFL fan,

0:37:19.560 --> 0:37:21.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a team. I don't have anything. But

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:25.759
<v Speaker 1>in terms of how I would work a team, if

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you look at a quarterback and you say to yourself, man,

0:37:29.200 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 1>if I were an opposing defensive coordinator, I wouldn't sleep

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that week. I don't know, Like, how do you stop Mariota?

0:37:35.680 --> 0:37:39.040
<v Speaker 1>He's so accurate, he's so fast. How do you stop Jamis?

0:37:39.120 --> 0:37:41.640
<v Speaker 1>He just changes so much at the line. There's no

0:37:41.800 --> 0:37:44.600
<v Speaker 1>defense that can fully contain him. Andrew Luck, he's just

0:37:44.760 --> 0:37:47.000
<v Speaker 1>he's a surgeon out there. Like those are the guys

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>where were just like, man, I don't what a We

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 1>have a good defense, but he's still gonna pick us.

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I just you watch Mitch Trubisky, You're like, it's pretty good. Yeah,

0:37:57.000 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good.

0:37:57.840 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 2>But I.

0:38:00.280 --> 0:38:04.200
<v Speaker 1>To like throw everything behind Mitch Trubisky. I would be

0:38:04.440 --> 0:38:07.200
<v Speaker 1>happy to be proven pompous, even more pompous than people

0:38:07.239 --> 0:38:10.960
<v Speaker 1>already think I am about Mitch Trubisky. But I not

0:38:11.120 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 1>seeing it, not right now. Ditch for Mitch.

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.360
<v Speaker 2>I suspect it's one of those deals where it's so

0:38:16.560 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 2>hopeless that you know, Rihanna looking for love in a

0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:23.160
<v Speaker 2>hopeless place, m h and Mitch Trubisky just comes walking

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.960
<v Speaker 2>through that door. He's got a dynamic arm, he's got size,

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:28.240
<v Speaker 2>he's got the arm talent that I think the NFL

0:38:28.320 --> 0:38:33.920
<v Speaker 2>is gonna like. But gosh, okay. Stanford Dan closed out

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:37.160
<v Speaker 2>the year with five straight wins. North Carolina lost two

0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:42.080
<v Speaker 2>of their final three to duke An NC State. Since

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:47.880
<v Speaker 2>effectively taking over the quarterback gig at Stanford, Keller Christ

0:38:48.760 --> 0:38:51.239
<v Speaker 2>has thrown nine touchdowns, just one interception.

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:55.359
<v Speaker 1>He did not play any defenses that scare me, nor

0:38:55.480 --> 0:38:56.919
<v Speaker 1>will he in the Sun Bowl.

0:38:58.040 --> 0:39:02.680
<v Speaker 2>I felt before this Christian McCaffrey announcement that there was

0:39:02.840 --> 0:39:06.759
<v Speaker 2>more reason to like Stanford than I had thought previously.

0:39:07.760 --> 0:39:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I felt pretty good about Stanford chances here. I had

0:39:10.200 --> 0:39:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Stanford winning the game, maybe a close game, to the

0:39:14.239 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 2>tune of nineteen confidence points.

0:39:16.560 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:22.000
<v Speaker 2>The Christian McCaffrey thing, though, to me, is a huge distraction,

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:29.319
<v Speaker 2>a huge distraction really, and I feel like the team

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:32.279
<v Speaker 2>now maybe has a reason to devalue this game, like

0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 2>it might not mean as much to the rest of

0:39:34.080 --> 0:39:37.359
<v Speaker 2>them because they're their leader won't be out there with them.

0:39:38.400 --> 0:39:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I am going to switch my pop. I'm going to

0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:44.480
<v Speaker 2>say Mitch Trubisky is making his pitch for Mitch in

0:39:44.560 --> 0:39:46.920
<v Speaker 2>the NFL. If you like that, thank you very much.

0:39:48.440 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 2>UNC wins a close one, I'm gonna go nineteen confidence points.

0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I enthusiastically disagree. So one, I think North

0:39:59.520 --> 0:40:02.320
<v Speaker 1>carolina Is defense actually improved this year. There were times

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:04.359
<v Speaker 1>in twenty fifteen, and yes, there were times in twenty

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:07.880
<v Speaker 1>sixteen that were just atrocious, but when you look at

0:40:07.920 --> 0:40:10.080
<v Speaker 1>what they were able to do, at least against teams

0:40:10.120 --> 0:40:12.759
<v Speaker 1>that they should have performed defensively against some of the

0:40:13.000 --> 0:40:16.120
<v Speaker 1>bottom of the ACC they actually did a pretty good job,

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>and the numbers improved a little bit. But I thought,

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:21.320
<v Speaker 1>all in all, this team took a step in the

0:40:21.480 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 1>right direction defensively, now Stanford, when they're operating at full mass,

0:40:25.960 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>they are really really good, and that would include Christian McCaffrey.

0:40:30.400 --> 0:40:34.600
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina, big D, analytic offense, good at creating chunk plays.

0:40:34.640 --> 0:40:36.880
<v Speaker 1>They stalled a little bit too often on these drives.

0:40:37.200 --> 0:40:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Another good acc wide receiver duo in Bug Howard and

0:40:40.600 --> 0:40:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Switzer. I believe, great names, both of them, both

0:40:43.200 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 1>of them. North Carolina wasn't terribly far from ten to two.

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.800
<v Speaker 1>The Duke and North Carolina State games were both winnable.

0:40:52.160 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>They were both dumb games. They should have been They

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.239
<v Speaker 1>were competitive in those games. They should have been better

0:40:56.840 --> 0:41:00.160
<v Speaker 1>on those fields. Stanford ran the ball this year. Their

0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>passing took perhaps the biggest step back of any team

0:41:03.320 --> 0:41:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that plays in a Power five conference. They had a

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:07.959
<v Speaker 1>four game stretch in which they averaged eleven points before

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:11.160
<v Speaker 1>making that quarterback switch. I get the feeling because I

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 1>really do like Bryce Love as well in the backfield,

0:41:13.640 --> 0:41:16.040
<v Speaker 1>who is the sort of one be back to Christian McCaffrey.

0:41:16.680 --> 0:41:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I get the feeling that this Stanford team, with time

0:41:20.120 --> 0:41:23.440
<v Speaker 1>prepare against defense that still has struggled against the run,

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:27.160
<v Speaker 1>playing into the specialty of the Stanford offense. In Stanford themselves.

0:41:27.400 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>They play really good defense, and we've seen North Carolina

0:41:30.960 --> 0:41:32.759
<v Speaker 1>struggle when they haven't been able to run the ball.

0:41:33.120 --> 0:41:36.719
<v Speaker 1>That's what Stanford stops. I think we might be seeing

0:41:36.760 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Christian who after Stanford wins this game,

0:41:43.440 --> 0:41:47.880
<v Speaker 1>like that really dumb, crizy. It's just okay. I like

0:41:48.000 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Stanford here. I like Stanford with time prepare. I think

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:54.399
<v Speaker 1>it's a particularly advantageous matchup. I have Stanford twenty four

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to twenty.

0:41:55.120 --> 0:41:58.600
<v Speaker 2>Twenty four to twenty. Yeah, I might change this pick

0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:02.319
<v Speaker 2>again right now. I'm gonna go unc. I could see

0:42:02.360 --> 0:42:05.520
<v Speaker 2>it going either way. I really could. It's going to

0:42:05.560 --> 0:42:06.799
<v Speaker 2>be a close game one way.

0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Christian.

0:42:08.560 --> 0:42:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I like that line though. That's gonna happen.

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Dan, you know it. That's exactly like you know, like

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the laziest and I include myself in this. The laziest

0:42:19.320 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 1>writers are gonna be like, guess they didn't need him,

0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Guess they said go train.

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:28.560
<v Speaker 2>They fell in love with somebody other than Christian McCaffrey.

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:32.000

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 2>So I saw this ballgame as an opportunity to go

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:13.080
<v Speaker 2>out there and say, what is what could Franklin American

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:14.800
<v Speaker 2>and their mortgages do for me?

0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:19.719
<v Speaker 2>I found their website Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls,

0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 2>children of all ages. I have found for you the

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 2>holy Grail of stock photography.

0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Dan good News, the company has at least seventy million

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:33.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars because that's how much they were fined for the

0:44:33.520 --> 0:44:36.680
<v Speaker 1>False Claims Act in twenty fifty Oh good good, and

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.440
<v Speaker 1>they had to settle with the United States of America.

0:44:39.680 --> 0:44:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, speaking of false claims, we've got the Tennessee volunteers

0:44:42.360 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 2>in this game.

0:44:42.880 --> 0:44:45.759
<v Speaker 1>Dan Sue, Oh good, good one, thank you, good go.

0:44:46.200 --> 0:44:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I've been big on home games and bowls. This

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:52.239
<v Speaker 2>might be a case where I don't think it helps.

0:44:53.160 --> 0:44:53.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, why.

0:44:57.080 --> 0:45:00.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm just so sour on them at this point. It

0:45:00.200 --> 0:45:02.640
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be what do you mean why they're

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:06.160
<v Speaker 2>eight and four because of somebody else's hype, not because

0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:08.399
<v Speaker 2>of anyone else's hype. They had their whole team back

0:45:08.560 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 2>and they went eight and four. Okay, this was supposed

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:14.600
<v Speaker 2>to be like the awakening of volunteer football, though to

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:16.640
<v Speaker 2>win the SEC East. They finished in four.

0:45:16.920 --> 0:45:18.919
<v Speaker 1>Can I ask you this? Yeah, you can ask me anything.

0:45:18.960 --> 0:45:22.680
<v Speaker 1>As a counterpoint, did they lose a game sixty two

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:23.040
<v Speaker 1>to three?

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:23.200
<v Speaker 2>No?

0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:25.239
<v Speaker 1>They did not, Okay, they they did not.

0:45:25.800 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, just making sure we're on the same page. Does

0:45:28.040 --> 0:45:29.520
<v Speaker 2>that then mean that you're going with Tennessee.

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:33.839
<v Speaker 1>I think I am going Tennessee, and that is problematic

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.680
<v Speaker 1>because I already know how I feel about taking teams

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:40.080
<v Speaker 1>that play in extremes and Tennessee. Offensively, they can do

0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:43.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of really interesting things. They've got two great receivers.

0:45:43.560 --> 0:45:45.960
<v Speaker 1>They did lose Jalen Hurd. He decided to leave the program,

0:45:46.040 --> 0:45:50.040
<v Speaker 1>but Alvin Kamara stepped in really nicely. They're another team

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the analyticslov in terms of chunk plays. They were hurt

0:45:53.120 --> 0:45:56.719
<v Speaker 1>all year defensively, and it seemed at a certain point

0:45:56.800 --> 0:45:59.800
<v Speaker 1>their defensive strategy was just that of a very lazy

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 1>parents willing to let their children just run around until

0:46:03.400 --> 0:46:07.000
<v Speaker 1>they exhausted themselves out. So like, well, they're gonna run

0:46:07.000 --> 0:46:09.320
<v Speaker 1>all over us. So maybe maybe Texas A and M

0:46:09.400 --> 0:46:12.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll just get tired. Yeah, maybe I'll just get worn

0:46:12.200 --> 0:46:15.440
<v Speaker 1>down from all of the open lanes. Nebraska themselves, they

0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:18.400
<v Speaker 1>could not run consistently. Their passing was mostly it was

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>a disappointment, especially versus better teams. They're pretty good against

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the run, They're okay against the past. I really like

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:27.040
<v Speaker 1>the talent in their secondary. That's how they sort of

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>kept a lot of plays in front of them. But

0:46:29.400 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I just I don't see how they are going to

0:46:32.280 --> 0:46:35.880
<v Speaker 1>stop Tennessee consistently and or match score with them. So

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I have Tennessee thirty to twenty four. I think they

0:46:38.440 --> 0:46:41.080
<v Speaker 1>figure out how to have a big enough game in

0:46:41.160 --> 0:46:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jabb's final game.

0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:46.080
<v Speaker 2>I really don't want to pick Tennessee, Okay, And this

0:46:46.200 --> 0:46:48.400
<v Speaker 2>is where I get myself into trouble when I start

0:46:48.680 --> 0:46:53.080
<v Speaker 2>allowing emotion into the picking process. The issue I'm having

0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and the reason I'm no longer all in on Nebraska

0:46:57.840 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 2>is George western Camp's out. Yeah, he had a non

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 2>contact injury. He's out for the bowl game. Tommy Armstrong,

0:47:04.080 --> 0:47:07.200
<v Speaker 2>at least at time of recording, is still dealing with

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:09.879
<v Speaker 2>some kind of hamstring injury he got earlier in the year.

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:12.960
<v Speaker 2>He's not even practicing with the team right now. Right

0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 2>that's a problem. That's a problem. So there are many

0:47:16.400 --> 0:47:19.960
<v Speaker 2>logical reasons to go with Nebraska here either way, because

0:47:20.000 --> 0:47:22.719
<v Speaker 2>of the way I because the way I box myself in.

0:47:23.280 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 2>This is an eighteen pointer for me, So not overly confident.

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:30.399
<v Speaker 2>You can't put five points on every game. This one

0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:34.120
<v Speaker 2>just ended up at number eighteen right now. I am

0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:37.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna say Nebraska. I am gonna wait, though, to see

0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:40.080
<v Speaker 2>what happens with Tommy Armstrong. If he doesn't play, I'll

0:47:40.120 --> 0:47:41.360
<v Speaker 2>probably switch to to Tennessee.

0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So after the tough loss to Wisconsin, I can't randall

0:47:45.239 --> 0:47:50.279
<v Speaker 1>Nebraska played two pretty decent teams, two excellent teams, one

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:52.960
<v Speaker 1>excellent team, one pretty good team on the road that

0:47:52.960 --> 0:47:56.920
<v Speaker 1>would be at Ohio State and at Iowa. How many

0:47:57.040 --> 0:47:59.600
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns did they score? And bind the top two games

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:03.880
<v Speaker 1>stop they scored but one touch I know they lost

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:09.680
<v Speaker 1>those two games one hundred and two to thirteen. It's

0:48:09.760 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 1>not the greatest score line I might have to switch

0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:18.120
<v Speaker 1>this now. I just I think Nebraska is a team

0:48:18.360 --> 0:48:21.399
<v Speaker 1>that can be interesting. They appear to be recruiting quite well.

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I think everybody's probably in the back of their mind,

0:48:25.600 --> 0:48:29.160
<v Speaker 1>even the most optimistic Nebraska fans, which there are a

0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of, are probably saying to themselves, you know what,

0:48:31.880 --> 0:48:34.719
<v Speaker 1>it'll probably be good for everybody that Tommy Armstrong is

0:48:34.760 --> 0:48:37.000
<v Speaker 1>no longer going to be our starting quarterback. And thank

0:48:37.080 --> 0:48:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you for he was a total warrior out there. Everybody

0:48:39.280 --> 0:48:43.160
<v Speaker 1>seems to like him, I think. But Nebraska right now,

0:48:43.200 --> 0:48:45.719
<v Speaker 1>as they're currently constituted, they just sort of seem like

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:48.840
<v Speaker 1>the facade of a good college football I'm going to

0:48:48.840 --> 0:48:50.759
<v Speaker 1>switch at to Tennessee. And here's why I'm going to

0:48:50.840 --> 0:48:53.920
<v Speaker 1>do it, because I'm very good at persuading you. If

0:48:54.239 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 1>you are and if you're wrong, I can blame you. Yeah,

0:48:57.320 --> 0:49:01.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely all right, you can quickly. Oregon should have beat

0:49:02.040 --> 0:49:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Nebraska tie. Think about that. That's right, That's right?

0:49:06.040 --> 0:49:08.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, Okay, no more bills to pay and then

0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 2>three more games texture Dan.

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Hmmm. A lot of people responded really well to the

0:49:15.360 --> 0:49:18.000
<v Speaker 1>magazine feature I referenced on our last episode. They did. Yeah,

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the Frank Sinatra one. Yeah as a cold. Here is

0:49:21.239 --> 0:49:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the way this works.

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I've used texture before, I've talked about it at nauseum.

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:27.880
<v Speaker 2>I used it when I went on my honeymoon. Fired

0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 2>it up on the bird down to Jamaica, read some

0:49:30.760 --> 0:49:36.440
<v Speaker 2>of my favorite magazine magazine articles. Texture has essentially digitized

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the magazine experience. So if you're going on a trip,

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 2>if you're in a waiting room somewhere, if you've just

0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:45.000
<v Speaker 2>got time to kill, if you don't have time to kill,

0:49:45.040 --> 0:49:46.720
<v Speaker 2>you're just laying in bed, you want to do some reading,

0:49:46.760 --> 0:49:49.480
<v Speaker 2>you want to catch up right, you can fire up

0:49:49.600 --> 0:49:52.360
<v Speaker 2>the Texture app and they give you instant access to

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:54.239
<v Speaker 2>all the magazines that you know and love.

0:49:55.239 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Nice.

0:49:56.200 --> 0:50:01.800
<v Speaker 2>They've got hundreds of magazines available, Sports, illustri Forbes, Fast Company,

0:50:01.920 --> 0:50:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Rolling Stone, People, you name it. Over two hundred of them, Dan,

0:50:06.000 --> 0:50:09.480
<v Speaker 2>They're all available. And not only that, you don't have

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to dig through them to figure out what is it

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:12.879
<v Speaker 2>I want to read? What is it I don't want

0:50:12.920 --> 0:50:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to read? Texture Now has a cool feature which makes

<v Speaker 2>In addition to the fact that it's searchable. I like

0:50:31.680 --> 0:50:34.320
<v Speaker 2>that it's searchable. If you have a bunch of paper magazines,

0:50:34.360 --> 0:50:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you can't search that. You got to flip through them.

0:50:36.280 --> 0:50:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It's a manual process. Texture is searchable. You can mark

0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:43.279

<v Speaker 2>Think it through, think it through, all right, quickly. We

0:51:38.400 --> 0:51:41.040
<v Speaker 2>got three more games here to discuss. All right, let's

0:51:41.080 --> 0:51:44.239
<v Speaker 2>do it. The Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl DAN in

0:51:44.480 --> 0:51:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Also on Friday evening. This is

0:51:49.719 --> 0:51:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a game between air Force DAN and South Alabama, who

0:51:56.840 --> 0:51:58.479
<v Speaker 2>clear out the next hour of your life.

0:51:58.880 --> 0:52:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah to talk about? Yeah, thank you.

0:52:01.440 --> 0:52:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Air Force is a thirteen and a half point favorite Dan.

0:52:04.880 --> 0:52:07.960
<v Speaker 2>This game is on something called the American Sports Network.

0:52:08.680 --> 0:52:11.200
<v Speaker 2>This sounds like the network that aired Sports Night in

0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:13.800
<v Speaker 2>the late nineties, Like, not in real life, but actually

0:52:13.880 --> 0:52:14.319
<v Speaker 2>in the show.

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:17.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it sounds like a sports network on a TV

0:52:17.480 --> 0:52:19.359
<v Speaker 1>show that somebody what like, oh did you hear about

0:52:19.400 --> 0:52:23.120
<v Speaker 1>what's happening with the Detroit Panthers. They're talking all about

0:52:23.160 --> 0:52:27.000
<v Speaker 1>it on American Sports Network. That's right. I've got air

0:52:27.080 --> 0:52:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Force to the tune of thirty eight points here. I

0:52:30.480 --> 0:52:33.160
<v Speaker 1>think I'm feeling pretty strongly about air Force as well.

0:52:33.239 --> 0:52:35.399
<v Speaker 1>They can run, they can't throw, they can stop thrown.

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:38.400
<v Speaker 1>They can't stop people from throwing. South Alabama's offenses. All right,

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:40.120
<v Speaker 1>they can throw the ball a little bit. Their defense

0:52:40.200 --> 0:52:42.719
<v Speaker 1>isn't great. I have twenty eight thirteen Air Force. I'm

0:52:42.719 --> 0:52:46.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty confident in that's I would just strongly suggest anybody

0:52:46.400 --> 0:52:49.200
<v Speaker 1>going to this game in Tucson make sure you wake

0:52:49.280 --> 0:52:53.720
<v Speaker 1>up early because the Arizona desert has a distinct morning

0:52:53.880 --> 0:52:56.840
<v Speaker 1>dew smell, and I love it. Some people don't like it.

0:52:56.920 --> 0:53:00.520
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I love Arizona. I know you really

0:53:00.560 --> 0:53:04.239
<v Speaker 1>are big on Arizona, huge on Arizona, big Southwest guy here. Yeah,

0:53:04.560 --> 0:53:08.760
<v Speaker 1>So can I ask you this? You have deep ties

0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:12.040
<v Speaker 1>to Eastern PA. I do your extended family solid wife,

0:53:12.120 --> 0:53:17.279
<v Speaker 1>Kate's extended family in a post apocalyptic scenario, sure, where

0:53:17.320 --> 0:53:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you could take You and Kate are fine? You have money,

0:53:20.160 --> 0:53:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you figured out you could sort of live anywhere you're

0:53:23.200 --> 0:53:27.920
<v Speaker 1>not bound by those ties. Are you considering Arizona? It

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:32.840
<v Speaker 1>would be Arizona or Hawaii? Well you probably have to

0:53:32.920 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 1>get there by car if we're talking post apocalypse post apocalypse. Yeah, okay,

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:39.360
<v Speaker 1>well then it would probably be Arizona. Yeah, because I

0:53:39.719 --> 0:53:43.000
<v Speaker 1>still remember when in twenty ten you were taking pictures

0:53:43.000 --> 0:53:44.200
<v Speaker 1>of the mountains in Arizona.

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I was such a tourist. Yeah, I was only missing

0:53:47.320 --> 0:53:50.040
<v Speaker 2>the fanny pack. I think in twenty ten it was

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:52.800
<v Speaker 2>was it a digital camera that you were taking pictures

0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:56.680
<v Speaker 2>with it. Probably probably probably we've been doing the show

0:53:56.760 --> 0:53:57.520
<v Speaker 2>for so long.

0:53:58.040 --> 0:54:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Ah, do you remember I was a huge nerd.

0:54:03.760 --> 0:54:05.560
<v Speaker 2>That was when we saw Bill Hancock looking for his

0:54:05.640 --> 0:54:06.480
<v Speaker 2>car in the parking lot.

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:09.840
<v Speaker 1>That is true. Yeah, you shared a moment. Now it

0:54:09.880 --> 0:54:14.360
<v Speaker 1>would be Arizona for me. Okay, I'd listen. Half of

0:54:14.400 --> 0:54:18.120
<v Speaker 1>my family's from Arizona. They are. They're giving away quite

0:54:18.120 --> 0:54:20.040
<v Speaker 1>a bit in this game. By the way. Oh, in

0:54:20.120 --> 0:54:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the Arizona game, you win a new loan, the Nova

0:54:23.400 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Home Loans, Arizona Bowl, South Alabama Air Force Red inflatable

0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:32.319
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote big lazy couch. What okay, an inflatable big

0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:36.640
<v Speaker 1>lazy couch, an inflamable couch. Okay. A Selco s c

0:54:36.920 --> 0:54:40.440
<v Speaker 1>l c O watch, which sounds like a price is right,

0:54:40.960 --> 0:54:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Like if there were a TV show with a prices

0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:44.200
<v Speaker 1>right style show, you could win a cell Co watch.

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:46.440
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like a watch that they'd sell in the

0:54:46.480 --> 0:54:48.000
<v Speaker 2>American sportsw.

0:54:47.680 --> 0:54:52.880
<v Speaker 1>That's that's exactly right. Ty an ogo rocksack, which is

0:54:52.960 --> 0:54:54.760
<v Speaker 1>just a backpack. I looked it up. It's just a backpack.

0:54:54.920 --> 0:54:59.800
<v Speaker 1>It's called a rock sack. Beats by Doctor dre Power.

0:55:00.040 --> 0:55:02.960
<v Speaker 1>It's two headphones with case. That's pretty good. I have those,

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I'd be very Are you happy with them? I love them?

0:55:05.640 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I believe those are the Bluetooth earbuds. Oh beautiful, fantastic.

0:55:11.080 --> 0:55:15.520
<v Speaker 2>And the no sweat specialty sock. No sweat specialties socks

0:55:16.280 --> 0:55:18.200
<v Speaker 2>is how it's worded here, and I will go on

0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 2>record once again, ty socks.

0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:24.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you're only as comfortable as your feet. So cool

0:55:24.719 --> 0:55:26.439
<v Speaker 1>treating yourself with good socks. You're in a good place.

0:55:26.520 --> 0:55:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the Arizona ball's taking care of its players.

0:55:28.560 --> 0:55:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Good for South Alabama, good fair force.

0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Two more games, Dan, I know, it's hard to believe

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:35.440
<v Speaker 2>that there could be any game bigger than the Nova

0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Home Loans Arizona Bawl. I know, but ball season continues

0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:44.359
<v Speaker 2>to surprise, continues to impress. Yeah, we're going to talk

0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:47.280
<v Speaker 2>about two games that occur on New Year's Eve earlier

0:55:47.880 --> 0:55:51.239
<v Speaker 2>in the day, eleven am. This one is called the

0:55:51.360 --> 0:55:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo wild Wings Citrus Bowl, Dan, Yeah, another Bowl game

0:55:55.920 --> 0:56:00.960
<v Speaker 2>at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. This is an awesome matchup,

0:56:02.000 --> 0:56:06.160
<v Speaker 2>an awesome, awesome matchup. LSU seven and four a three

0:56:06.200 --> 0:56:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and a half point favorite against Louisville, who finished the

0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.879
<v Speaker 2>year at nine and three, we already talked about Leo.

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Why would you say that like a Spanish tourist. They're

0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:20.520
<v Speaker 1>playing a Louisville playing a Louisville. Yeah, I don't know, Okay,

0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Louisville LSU. We already talked about Leo Fournette skipping this one.

0:56:26.120 --> 0:56:29.120
<v Speaker 1>The difference between him and Christian McCaffrey is that his

0:56:29.320 --> 0:56:34.200
<v Speaker 1>team has Darius Guice and so much disrespect for Bryce

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:35.480
<v Speaker 1>love Well.

0:56:36.200 --> 0:56:39.800
<v Speaker 2>I like Bryce love but Darius Guys actually led his

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:42.759
<v Speaker 2>team and carries rushing yardage and rushing touchdowns this year,

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:47.680
<v Speaker 2>so it's not so much a backup situation. He led

0:56:47.719 --> 0:56:51.520
<v Speaker 2>the team statistically on the ground. I like LSU in

0:56:51.600 --> 0:56:55.440
<v Speaker 2>this game. I think Louisville closed out their season by

0:56:55.480 --> 0:56:59.560
<v Speaker 2>getting bombed against Houston and losing a shootout in the

0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:04.239
<v Speaker 2>Governor's Cup against Kentucky. And I just don't think that

0:57:04.440 --> 0:57:06.520
<v Speaker 2>ed Or Jaran's going to sleep walk into a Bowl game,

0:57:06.640 --> 0:57:09.800
<v Speaker 2>not after getting the job of his dreams. It feels

0:57:09.840 --> 0:57:11.279
<v Speaker 2>to me like he's going to try and coach the

0:57:11.320 --> 0:57:16.760
<v Speaker 2>hell out of this game. And I think defensively, they

0:57:16.840 --> 0:57:20.520
<v Speaker 2>have what it takes to confuse Lamar Jackson enough that

0:57:20.560 --> 0:57:21.360
<v Speaker 2>they can win this game.

0:57:22.840 --> 0:57:25.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you're right. I think everything you're saying is

0:57:25.920 --> 0:57:29.960
<v Speaker 1>right in line, and the point is taken about Darius Skice.

0:57:30.000 --> 0:57:33.360
<v Speaker 1>He was their leading rusher. LSU as a team, when

0:57:33.440 --> 0:57:35.200
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys are healthy, they're as good a

0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:38.040
<v Speaker 1>running team as anybody in the country. Their passing ended

0:57:38.120 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 1>up being not bad, but that was against a lot

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:44.120
<v Speaker 1>of sort of disappointing defenses. They score when they string

0:57:44.200 --> 0:57:47.120
<v Speaker 1>together big plays. Louisville is very good against that, so

0:57:47.200 --> 0:57:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that should be an interesting matchup. LSU's defense is pretty

0:57:51.200 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 1>much the most complete non Alabama defense in the country,

0:57:54.480 --> 0:57:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and they are particularly excellent in the red zone. So

0:57:57.200 --> 0:57:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Louisville will not be able to win this game kicking

0:57:59.320 --> 0:58:04.000
<v Speaker 1>field goals. I don't believe Louisville as good a running

0:58:04.040 --> 0:58:07.360
<v Speaker 1>team as anybody in the country. They're also obviously a

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:09.560
<v Speaker 1>very good passing team, and Lamar Jackson at his height

0:58:09.800 --> 0:58:14.280
<v Speaker 1>is the best. Louisville's defense I think was overlooked a

0:58:14.320 --> 0:58:16.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit because of the genius of Lamar Jackson. They

0:58:17.000 --> 0:58:17.760
<v Speaker 1>were very good.

0:58:17.840 --> 0:58:20.240
<v Speaker 2>They were very very good. They got better too as

0:58:20.320 --> 0:58:22.000
<v Speaker 2>the year. As the year were on.

0:58:23.520 --> 0:58:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Ultimately, I am a little bit worried about Louisville's offense

0:58:27.680 --> 0:58:30.480
<v Speaker 1>against LICs Hu's defense. L's Hu's defense is that good

0:58:30.920 --> 0:58:33.000
<v Speaker 1>and if they are charged up, which I think you're right,

0:58:33.040 --> 0:58:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I think Dacocho will have them ready to play. I'm

0:58:37.000 --> 0:58:39.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna go twenty four to twenty Lsu. I feel pretty

0:58:39.360 --> 0:58:42.600
<v Speaker 1>good about it. I think Alice Hu's defense as unbelievable

0:58:42.640 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 1>as Louisville's offense is. I think the time off, I

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:48.560
<v Speaker 1>think the sort of Heisman hangover. I think Lamar Jackson

0:58:48.560 --> 0:58:50.720
<v Speaker 1>will be good and we'll make good plays, but I'm

0:58:50.800 --> 0:58:53.320
<v Speaker 1>going with Lsu here. I think they get it done. Yeah.

0:58:53.400 --> 0:58:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Something that struck me down the stretch. Lamar Jackson, now

0:58:56.600 --> 0:58:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you want the Heisman. He's a dynamic runner, He's a

0:58:59.160 --> 0:59:03.360
<v Speaker 2>dynamic player. He was very average as a passer in

0:59:03.480 --> 0:59:05.440
<v Speaker 2>some of those games in the second half of the year.

0:59:05.760 --> 0:59:08.760
<v Speaker 2>You didn't see it so much earlier in the season.

0:59:08.760 --> 0:59:11.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it was a situation where opponents

0:59:11.440 --> 0:59:14.000
<v Speaker 2>figured out something with him or what it was, but

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:19.040
<v Speaker 2>I gotta believe that Dave Randa, with a couple weeks

0:59:19.080 --> 0:59:23.720
<v Speaker 2>to prepare with this defense for someone like Lamar Jackson,

0:59:24.160 --> 0:59:26.600
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna be ready They're gonna have a formula for

0:59:26.760 --> 0:59:30.840
<v Speaker 2>him to maybe not totally clip his wings, but to

0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:33.560
<v Speaker 2>at least contain him to the point that Louisville needs

0:59:33.600 --> 0:59:36.440
<v Speaker 2>to get help elsewhere. I think LS wins, but I'm

0:59:36.480 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 2>only gonna put like four confidence points on it. I'm

0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:39.760
<v Speaker 2>not confident in this game.

0:59:40.320 --> 0:59:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I have forty two confidence points, not on the outcome

0:59:43.440 --> 0:59:45.720
<v Speaker 1>of this game, but on the fact that Jesse Palmer

0:59:45.880 --> 0:59:49.440
<v Speaker 1>is going to start saying a Dave Randa defense in

0:59:49.600 --> 0:59:53.280
<v Speaker 1>the way that he talks about a Gusmalson offense and

0:59:53.440 --> 0:59:57.680
<v Speaker 1>a Bud Foster defense in the exact same way Dave

0:59:57.800 --> 1:00:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Randa has heard his name. I've heard Dave Randa's name

1:00:02.080 --> 1:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe ten times more than any other coordinator in college

1:00:05.040 --> 1:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>football in the past six months, and with good reason.

1:00:08.920 --> 1:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>He's excellent. But I think his specific story is what

1:00:14.400 --> 1:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>is going to be latched onto by Jesse Palmer in

1:00:16.560 --> 1:00:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a very big way moving forward. And you know what,

1:00:18.880 --> 1:00:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm fine with it. I like Jesse Palmer, I like

1:00:20.720 --> 1:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Dave Randa, but it is an absolute certainty that a

1:00:23.440 --> 1:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Dave Randa defense is a thing. What is the gift

1:00:27.640 --> 1:00:28.360
<v Speaker 1>situation here?

1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

1:00:29.400 --> 1:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Coach O and the players actually don't know if the

1:00:31.480 --> 1:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>coaches walk away with anything, but in the Citrus Bowl,

1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:37.760
<v Speaker 1>they will be walking away with a three hundred and

1:00:37.920 --> 1:00:41.440
<v Speaker 1>five dollars Best Buy Shopping three to oh five five.

1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You can do pretty well with that.

1:00:42.560 --> 1:00:42.760
<v Speaker 2>I think.

1:00:42.880 --> 1:00:45.200
<v Speaker 1>Can you get an Xbox or a PS four for that?

1:00:46.120 --> 1:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Are think three hundred dollars now, meybe, Yeah, you can

1:00:50.040 --> 1:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>get a PS one for it for sure. Sure, get

1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>a Timely Watch Company, watch Eye Slide Sandals. There it is, wow,

1:00:58.080 --> 1:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>twenty five dollars towards Buffalo wild Wings because it is

1:01:01.440 --> 1:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bawl. I like that they throw.

1:01:03.800 --> 1:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember if the Chick fil A Bowl whatever

1:01:05.800 --> 1:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>was giving away Chick fil A. Here's the item that

1:01:08.280 --> 1:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I love the most in this game. The Citrus Bowl

1:01:11.720 --> 1:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>is giving away and I quote EA Sports video game. Oh,

1:01:18.360 --> 1:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>EA Sports video game. Oh yeah, so that's not that's

1:01:24.520 --> 1:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>not so they're either giving away n CUAA twenty fourteen

1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:31.160
<v Speaker 1>was the last one we got twenty fourteen, twenty fifteen. Yeah,

1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it was twenty fourteen. Maybe I'm wrong, whatever,

1:01:35.440 --> 1:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>but EA Sports video Game. That's awkward. Yeah, maybe it's

1:01:40.480 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the SIMS. Yeah, I guess that would just be ea.

1:01:44.080 --> 1:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I think we both agree, Alsie.

1:01:47.280 --> 1:01:50.840
<v Speaker 2>And then finally we've got the tax Slayer Bowl, same time,

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:54.280
<v Speaker 2>New Year's Eve, eleven am. They play this one in Jacksonville.

1:01:54.800 --> 1:02:00.600
<v Speaker 2>It's on ESPN, between Georgia Tech and Kentucky. Dan, they

1:02:00.680 --> 1:02:04.120
<v Speaker 2>call it the tax Slayer Bowl. How about the forward

1:02:04.320 --> 1:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Pass Slayer Bowl?

1:02:05.880 --> 1:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Now, Dan, No, no, you're not wrong, but still no, no, Okay,

1:02:15.840 --> 1:02:17.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you feel about this game? This is what

1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I have down you want, I'm gonna read it verbatim

1:02:20.000 --> 1:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>what I have here, Go ahead. Georgia Tech offense good,

1:02:24.720 --> 1:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>Georgia Tech defense not great. Kentucky ran super well, couldn't

1:02:30.000 --> 1:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>throw Kentucky defense not good. Kentucky thirty to twenty seven.

1:02:37.680 --> 1:02:39.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what I have down here. Georgia Tech eight and four,

1:02:39.560 --> 1:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>three and a half point favorites over Kentucky seven and five.

1:02:42.680 --> 1:02:45.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like Kentucky played their bowl game last week

1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:50.280
<v Speaker 2>of the season against Louisville, Okay, and they won. I

1:02:50.360 --> 1:02:52.520
<v Speaker 2>don't know if they care much about going to the

1:02:52.600 --> 1:02:55.160
<v Speaker 2>tax Slayer Bowl. To be honest with this is a

1:02:55.240 --> 1:02:58.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty good game for Kentucky though. If I'm being honest,

1:02:58.040 --> 1:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a good game to be playing on New

1:02:59.560 --> 1:03:05.360
<v Speaker 2>Year's Eve. But I think, like I said, they played

1:03:05.640 --> 1:03:07.760
<v Speaker 2>their biggest game of the year, final game of the year.

1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Now they go to Jacksonville. I got to believe they're

1:03:11.320 --> 1:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>outnumbered by Tech people.

1:03:12.520 --> 1:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>It's still a smaller school.

1:03:14.280 --> 1:03:18.240
<v Speaker 2>It's a smaller school, but Tech is closer to Jacksonville,

1:03:18.840 --> 1:03:21.280
<v Speaker 2>and they've got more of a presence in the Southeast

1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and Kentucky football does. I think they have a lot

1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:26.320
<v Speaker 2>of success running their option. I like them to win

1:03:26.400 --> 1:03:28.240
<v Speaker 2>the game to the tune of twenty one points here

1:03:28.840 --> 1:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech wins twenty one twenty one confidence points.

1:03:32.720 --> 1:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

1:03:33.240 --> 1:03:35.960
<v Speaker 2>One thing that I did notice though, and this is

1:03:36.040 --> 1:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>probably more a story for twenty seventeen than it is

1:03:38.760 --> 1:03:39.800
<v Speaker 2>for twenty sixteen.

1:03:40.400 --> 1:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Both these teams are really young. Stanley Boom Williams was

1:03:43.760 --> 1:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>secretly one of the most fun players to watch this year. Yeah,

1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>a great talent for Kentucky. All right, so you're going Kentucky,

1:03:51.000 --> 1:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm going Georgia Tech. Yeah. So we have let's see,

1:03:54.200 --> 1:04:00.440
<v Speaker 1>we have taxes, greasy food, your credit, your credit, an

1:04:00.440 --> 1:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>efficient car, something to fix your car, something to put

1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>in your car, and somewhere to drive with the greasy

<v Speaker 1>food in your car to buy big clothes for all

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>your greasy stel ladies and gentlemen. You're twenty sixteen Bowl sponsors,

1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>your bull sponsors, and I should add the Bowl game.

1:04:20.480 --> 1:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>The tax Layer Bowl is giving away fossil watch. A

1:04:24.240 --> 1:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of people giving away watches. Yeah, which I'm good

1:04:26.760 --> 1:04:29.680
<v Speaker 1>with a carry on bag, that's not bad. Hey, I

1:04:29.760 --> 1:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>still use my freebie that I got. I would take

1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>it happily under armor sunglasses. Didn't even know they made sunglasses.

1:04:36.720 --> 1:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Nice A football, A bobblehead with the player's face, a

1:04:41.400 --> 1:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>custom babble that's cool.

1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:43.880
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

1:04:44.080 --> 1:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>That's real cool. I would be very happy with that.

1:04:47.760 --> 1:04:50.600
<v Speaker 1>And name and uniform number. Oh, it's part of those

1:04:50.880 --> 1:04:55.520
<v Speaker 1>say bubblehead with players face, cool, name and uniform number. Oh,

1:04:55.600 --> 1:04:57.959
<v Speaker 1>there's just a common between face, name and uniform numbers.

1:04:57.960 --> 1:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>So you're getting a custom bobblehead with your jersey. I

1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>guess cool. Yeah, that does it. That's it. That's also

1:05:05.240 --> 1:05:09.480
<v Speaker 1>for Bowl preview part four? What is that? In Spanish? Quatro?

1:05:10.360 --> 1:05:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Good job.

<v Speaker 2>We're doing this recording on Tuesday evening, so if there's

1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:18.520
<v Speaker 2>any news between now and Wednesday evening. When we pushed

1:05:18.560 --> 1:05:22.160
<v Speaker 2>us out into the wild. Please forgive us. We hope

1:05:22.720 --> 1:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>if you haven't already, if you're in the Greater New

1:05:25.080 --> 1:05:27.480
<v Speaker 2>York City area, or if you plan on being in

1:05:27.520 --> 1:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>the New York City area, that if you haven't already,

1:05:30.680 --> 1:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>you did get a chance to purchase tickets earlier today

1:05:35.840 --> 1:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>to our live show on January fourteenth, sort of a

1:05:38.240 --> 1:05:41.520
<v Speaker 2>postseason post mortem. We'll talk about the Champion, we'll talk

1:05:41.560 --> 1:05:43.840
<v Speaker 2>about some other central themes in and around the world

1:05:43.880 --> 1:05:47.160
<v Speaker 2>of college football over the course of the past season.

1:05:47.760 --> 1:05:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully all those tickets are gone, though there's.

1:05:50.280 --> 1:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>No way of knowing right now for sure. While you

1:05:52.720 --> 1:05:55.440
<v Speaker 1>are all saying that, you all, while you were saying that,

1:05:55.720 --> 1:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking of the rhyming schemes that if it

1:05:59.160 --> 1:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>weren't Mitch Trubisky, if it were another quarterback that you

1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>were trying to fail for, and I could not do

1:06:05.480 --> 1:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>better than don't play wiser for Kaiser.

1:06:09.280 --> 1:06:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Yawn for DeShawn, yawn for Deshaun, Eliyah for Cotton.

1:06:14.920 --> 1:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Now, whya is not really a word, but no, no, no, no, no,

1:06:17.680 --> 1:06:21.840
<v Speaker 1>no sleep on a futon for DeShawn. I'm very bad

1:06:21.880 --> 1:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>at this. That's that's actually awful, especially bad. It is

1:06:25.880 --> 1:06:31.280
<v Speaker 1>especially bad. I'm looking at the passing stats to see seniors.

1:06:31.520 --> 1:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>I know Davis Webb got attention early. I would not

1:06:33.840 --> 1:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>draft him in the top EBB for Webb it rhymes

1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>hate for Nate Peterman, I.

1:06:43.240 --> 1:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>Would hate myself. I took Nate Peterman that that early. Yeah,

1:06:46.640 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 2>I like Nate Peterman, but not that much.

1:06:49.440 --> 1:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Play smelly for Chad Kelly. There it is head for

1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the Hills, Perry Hills, Perry Hills. No, that's all I

1:06:57.560 --> 1:07:00.520
<v Speaker 1>got before I embarrass myself further. Well, this is a

1:07:00.560 --> 1:07:02.920
<v Speaker 1>fun show. Ran a little long, but I think we

1:07:03.040 --> 1:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>covered a lot of ground. I disagree.
