65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: just take that deep breath, visualize and attack.

66
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Let's do this. We have bracket new.

67
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: The Dabbo say something else about Florida State in the

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: last thirty four seconds.

69
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Man, you're obsessed with me? What is going on with this?

70
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what happened? So okay, hold me back.

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: What is going on with this stupid little like high

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: school feud that we got going on? Now? So if

73
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: you don't know by now, Clemson and Florida State was

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: called off at the last second, reportedly because of some

75
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen related issue. Now what that is? Who even

76
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: knows this?

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: That was a report of a traveling member of Clemson

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: on the flights. There were all sorts of different rumors

79
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 2: and innuendo, and then the presidents supposedly of Florida State

80
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: and Clemson decided together to call it off. It's all

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: over the place.

82
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: But Dabo Sweeney seems to have taken deep personal umbrage

83
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: to this, and so now the whole thing has has

84
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: been conflated and contorted, and there was an implication, or

85
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say implication. There was an accusation at one

86
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: point that Florida State was essentially just Duck and Clemson.

87
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: And there's been a lot of like fiery comments through

88
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: the media issued yesterday by Dabbo.

89
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: Where does this today as well? And today it has

90
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: spilled over into scattered and battered Saturday?

91
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on here? I don't know.

92
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: I honestly don't know that today's quote. I've been in

93
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: this league eighteen years, I've been the head coach for twelve.

94
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: They've had three head coaches in four years, right.

95
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: Needling, needling, needling.

96
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: And there's something about how Clemson spent three hundred thousand

97
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: dollars that was like the cost of sending everybody down there,

98
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: all their operations to play in this road game, which

99
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: is not cheap, but it's college football in twenty twenty.

100
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: And Florida State if they were not to completely forgive

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: or to completely go without any of the game day revenue,

102
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 2: that it would cost them way more than that. So

103
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: doesn't fully make sense that they're doing it for just

104
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: fucking competitive reasons, because it's actually going to cost them

105
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: a ton of money if they're just ducking it. So

106
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: Florida State's insisting it's something real and something that they

107
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: are using safety and precautions for, and Clemson's calling bs

108
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: but hasn't presented a case to why.

109
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.

110
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: I think everybody's just on edge time the holidays. I

111
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: think everybody's just everybody just needs a breather.

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, We've gone this route many times

113
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: before with Dabbo.

114
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: Mike Norvell says he's quote absolutely this was eleven am

115
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 2: yesterday until Monday. Norvell says he's absolutely helpful the Clemson

116
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: game will be played. He's also excited to see it

117
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: played in Tennessee. If contributions are needed to be made financially,

118
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: he says he'll sign up to make one.

119
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. It's so weird. It's

120
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: so weird, and at the same time it is sort

121
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: of humorous given just the awkward state of affairs in

122
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: this year twenty twenty season.

123
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 2: Now, this is Dabbo probably restraining himself. Right, I'll be back,

124
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 2: I'll be back. This is okay cool.

125
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: What do you see where this goes? But I do

126
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: have my doubts that Florida State was just ducking Yeah.

127
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: I don't fully understand what Dabbo being in the ACC

128
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: for eighteen years has to do with anything other.

129
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: Than he drives a Dodge Stratus Ti chest puffery. But

130
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: what happened, mid level manager.

131
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Whatever, whatever, any other news here jump out to you

132
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: outside this little pissing match we got going on.

133
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean, there's cancelations. I don't know if we're going

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: to talk about that in the context of previews.

135
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't know.

136
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: Is there anything to you news outside of that.

137
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: We've got our first playoff rankings set to be released.

138
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: We're recording this late in the day on Tuesday, and

139
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: because of timing, we're not going to have an opportunity

140
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: to discuss until we drop our Friday show. But you know,

141
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: I think I referenced it on the recap show on Sunday.

142
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Real curious to see how they treat the group of

143
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: five teams. This isn't news, mind you. This is just

144
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: me and jacking my own opinion here in anticipation of

145
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: the news. But BYU Cincinnati even Coastal Carolina to some extent,

146
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: though I think to a lesser degree. I'm curious to

147
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: see how the committee handles those group of five teams,

148
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: as am I.

149
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: And on a related note, did you have any thoughts

150
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: about the BYU Washington very brief dust up?

151
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we did have that dust up too, didn't we.

152
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so there is concern now that because the Apple

153
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: Cup is off Washington Washington State, there is concern that

154
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: Washington may not be able to find a Pack twelve

155
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: opponent to replace in the way that UCLA and CAL

156
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: found each other. And now because I think it's Utah

157
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: has ASU this week, ASU is the team that's been

158
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 2: in a COVID predicament with contact tracing and positive cases,

159
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: and so that seems like it would be the and Sir,

160
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 2: if Washington with their own Apple Cup off, because Washington

161
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 2: State doesn't have the roster numbers to play, that Washington

162
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: and Utah might play. But if they can't play, then

163
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: Washington is left without an opponent. And BYU has a

164
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: bye week this week. And there was a social media

165
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: post that made reference to anyone, anytime, anywhere from BYU

166
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: in terms of who they would schedule and play, and

167
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: so Washington reached out, but Washington wouldn't guarantee, like they

168
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't lock it in, like they tried to put BYU

169
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: in as sort of not a placeholder but as a

170
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: pseudo backup plan in case they couldn't get a Pack

171
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: twelve game, and BYU wanted to lock it in. So

172
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: people were saying BYU was cowardly because they were refusing

173
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: to improve their playoff resume by scheduling an unranked Washington.

174
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: Washington like thoroughly beat last year. So yes, it would

175
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 2: be a nice story for BYU to beat a team

176
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 2: that beat them last year. But they were like, BYU

177
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: is going to wait for the playoff rankings to come

178
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: out to figure out how they want it to proceed

179
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 2: with some of their open weeks, and it all feels

180
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 2: like we're having a very stupid conversation, like BYU doesn't

181
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: need to play a team, they don't want to play

182
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: the whole anytime anywhere, Like that's fine, but it's six

183
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: days notice and nobody's actually agreeing to definitely play you.

184
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: It's I'll probably play you, and you might show up

185
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: in Seattle and be like ah, actually, and Washington. I

186
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 2: feel for Washington because it's been a strange year and

187
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: they're not playing their rival and that sucks, like you

188
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: want to play your rival every year. Now you don't

189
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 2: get the Apple Cup, and it's just everybody is it's

190
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: another one of those like well we should all just

191
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: take a breath. People are just like calling each other cowards.

192
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the good stuff. Man.

193
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: What is actually on the line here? Like BYU just

194
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: needs to go undefeated and hope Cincinnati loses, and it

195
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: looks like they'll get into a New Year's six game

196
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: if those games happen, and Washington can win their conference

197
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: and themselves go to a huge bowl game if they

198
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: keep playing like they did against I guess Arizona.

199
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: So I don't know if they're like in look, if

200
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: they're looking for their equal in the world or to

201
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 1: just find a warm body for the weekend. Why don't

202
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: they just do like the rest of us and go

203
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: on Farmers only not a.

204
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: Spot Farmers Today's episode, it's brought to you.

205
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: Why don't they just I don't get it. Anyway, We'll see,

206
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens here. But we have entered the

207
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: realm of weird, stupid conversations as we get into this here,

208
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: slimmed down rivalry week Saturday, whatever you want to call it.

209
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: We don't not have rivalries. We just don't have as

210
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: many as we did before, and even some of the

211
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: ones we do have have taken on a much much

212
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: different tone. Why don't let's just get to the games.

213
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: Let's just do it. Any of the week. It is

214
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: week thirteen. Dan, you know what we typically do in

215
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: week thirteen? Our rivalry, right, Dawsom Dowsome dawesome, Dows'm Dowesom

216
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: usually got to throw those records out. Doesn't mean a thing.

217
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: It is also not the strongest slate of games, if

218
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm being honest with you, Dan.

219
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: Hard disagree, not the strongest.

220
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Disagree. I think I think your best chance to see

221
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: close games is going to be on Friday. We're going

222
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: to get into all that as it relates though to

223
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: the segment that people love to hate and I don't care.

224
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: I window are growing more appreciative of it.

225
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't. Are you kidding? Really?

226
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: Are you getting individual feedback?

227
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: Absolutely? People age calling you a coward. Well not for this,

228
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: but okay, the window of opportunity. Again, it's a holiday weekend.

229
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't know where this podcast finds you. Some people

230
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: are doing the zooms givings. Some people are actually doing

231
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the real thing. I I'm not here to judge. Just

232
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: be safe, try not to spread the virus. We're here

233
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: to do a college football show, and I'm telling you

234
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: that I understand as a family man my self. Yeah,

235
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: some of the tensions, the push pull that has to

236
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: go on with you and your family and your significant

237
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: other to get in front of the TV to watch

238
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: some high level college football.

239
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you have to be specific about when it

240
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: is that you would like to watch college football sometimes

241
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: so other people can plan around the day exactly.

242
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Enter the window of opportunity. When is your window of

243
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: opportunity when you can go out and do what you

244
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: gotta do. I don't know, go see Hamilton on Disney Plus,

245
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: or go out early and bag some leaves whatever. I

246
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, not bagging leaves or Hamilton.

247
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 2: Did you watch Hamilton on Disney Plus?

248
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: Very good, outstanding. Yeah. I could be talked into a

249
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: few different angles here for this window. I don't think

250
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: it's the strongest slate. I think you've got options whichever

251
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: way you want to play it. But I think the

252
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: clearest window is early on Saturday. It's early on Saturday. Maryland,

253
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: Indiana is interesting to us mutants, but that's kind of

254
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: it in terms of broader national appeal. Lord knows the

255
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: traditional Penn State Michigan game, which is usually just a behemoth.

256
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: This year, that one's only for sadists. You don't need

257
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: to watch that show unless you're interested in punishing yourself.

258
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: So for me, it's early on Saturday. What say you?

259
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 2: We don't get the egg bowls no longer on Thursday?

260
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: Right?

261
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: The egg Bowl is just right? This year is moved

262
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: to Saturday. We have Colorado State, Air Force, New Mexico,

263
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: Utah State. Thursday is definitely a win to opportunity. And

264
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of those teams are interesting. New

265
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: Mexico and Utah State are combined. Ona, you can probably

266
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: skip that one on Thursday.

267
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: I think you're right.

268
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: I think based on the schedule at least that you've

269
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 2: laid out in front of me, the early games on

270
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: Saturday day unless you're a big believer in Brandon Peters

271
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: given the ALLIONI a spark against Ohio State let down performance.

272
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: Else.

273
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: I mean, actually, Houston Tulsa is really interesting to me. Yeah,

274
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: but are you are you on the level?

275
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Are you burning whatever capital, whatever goodwill you've built

276
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: up over the span of thirteen weeks so that you

277
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: can watch that. I don't think you're you're going to

278
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: burn it on that game. No, no offense to the participants.

279
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: That's interesting, but just saying.

280
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 2: Is there a cheese it Bowl Energy the TCU cal

281
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: Cheese It Bowl Energy to Penn State Michigan. For you, like,

282
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 2: you're not watching it like you're watching a college football Now.

283
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm watching it like it's performance art.

284
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: I'm watching it like it's Nick Cage movie at this point, right,

285
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: it's sort of ironically.

286
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 2: It's nitty Nato. It's a sci fi ian zerring project.

287
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: Let's start with Friday.

288
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: Okay, you don't want to keep comparing Penn State miss

289
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: into terrible content.

290
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about it yet, Okay, fair, we can

291
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: actually get to that when we choose to or not

292
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: to preview that that game show whatever. That is.

293
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: Something I didn't realize, by the way, is that the

294
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: window of opportunity actually most applies to people on the

295
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: eastern time zone locations, right, because you don't really have

296
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 2: window if you're out west and the game start at

297
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: nine am, Like, what are you gonna You're supposed to

298
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: get stuff done at seven forty four am to prepare

299
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 2: And if that's a nice window.

300
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: Damn right, damn right, Okay.

301
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: A lot of lows is not open. I don't believe

302
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: that early.

303
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: Twelve o'clock high noon on Friday, it's Iowa State, it

304
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: is Texas. Texas is a one point favorite. So for context, Dan,

305
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: here is where we stand in the Big twelve race

306
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: right now. Iowa State is six and two overall, but

307
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: six and one in conference. They've got sole possession of

308
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: first place. They basically need to be either Texas or

309
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: West Virginia to clear and just spot in the title game.

310
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: So they beat Texas this week, I believe they'd all

311
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: but clinched the regular season title. Like some back of

312
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: the Napkin stuff going on here, So don't hold me

313
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 1: to it, but it's it's been a successful campaign for

314
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: the Clones. It can get even more successful if they

315
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: win one of their next two. Texas, on the other hand,

316
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: coming at this from a different angle, sort of a

317
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: must win spot for them if they want to have

318
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: any shot of the Big Twelve. For further context, the

319
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: Clones won this one last year twenty three twenty one.

320
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: I think they played that one in Ames. So you know,

321
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: I got a lot of different factors that are acting

322
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: upon this matchup here. Again, the line is only one

323
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: in favor of the Longhorns. They're at home. Do you

324
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: have a lean here? I do?

325
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 2: I do like the Clones here. I just it tickles

326
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: me to think back to I don't know, twenty ten,

327
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, whatever year you want to choose, a few

328
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: years ago. I know Iowa State has had some really

329
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 2: interesting and fun blips. But to go back in and say, listen,

330
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, hear me out the most dependably good

331
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: team in the conference, it's going to be wait for it,

332
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: Iowa State. What a strange, strange little conference or big

333
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: conference as it is. Iowa State's largely good everywhere. They

334
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 2: don't generate enough passes downfield. They don't prevent enough of

335
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: those passes. If you're going to nitpick, brock Purty hasn't

336
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: been amazing against the Blitz. But the Clone defense gets

337
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,880
Speaker 2: off the field really really well. And Texas's own offense

338
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 2: doesn't stay on the field nearly as well as they should.

339
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 2: They're three and out numbers are not great. I just

340
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: think there is something about Iowa State going against a

341
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 2: and at times back half of this Texas defense and

342
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: Texas's own offense not being able to take advantage of

343
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 2: where Iowa State is vulnerable. I know Iowa State isn't

344
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 2: the same team on the road. I believe they lost

345
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: in Stillwater right twenty four to twenty one. But I

346
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: think the Clones are in a nice spot here because

347
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: if you're going to beat up on Iowa State, it's

348
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: probably going to be on the ground mostly, and Texas

349
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 2: is beat up and inconsistent there. So I'm going to

350
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 2: Iowa State here to just play four better quarters of football.

351
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 2: I have thirty to twenty seven.

352
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: I am so split on this one.

353
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 2: I can't wait for it. The more I like dug

354
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: into it, it's like, can this is gonna be really fun?

355
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think I'm with you. Everything from a numbers

356
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 1: perspective says that Texas is a top twenty five team

357
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: in Iowa State's a top fifteen team across the board.

358
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: The Clones are better, they're more balanced on offense, at

359
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: least from an efficiency standpoint. They're the second best defense

360
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: in the Big Twelve, and they've got a good matchup here,

361
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,360
Speaker 1: a favorable The best running back in the conference, best

362
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: running back in the conference, brock Perty is not having

363
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: an amazing year, but he's so much better when you

364
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: don't pressure him and when guys are opened down the field,

365
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,159
Speaker 1: and both of those things have been a real issue

366
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: for Texas this year. What is my favorite stat outside

367
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: of second order wins? Do you remembers air yards? Thank you? Yeah,

368
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: thank you? Texas giving up seven point two air yards

369
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: per pass? What does that mean?

370
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: It's not like a screen that goes for seven yards

371
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: in the passes behind the line of scrimmage, seven yards

372
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 2: from scrimmage to catch.

373
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: It's not dink and dunk stuff. That's one hundred and

374
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: seventeenth in the nation. Now. It doesn't always translate to

375
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: having a bad pass defense, but what it means is

376
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: guys are getting opened down the field. And Brock Purdy,

377
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: I think if you don't pressure him, if you give

378
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: him those options, he's going to take advantage of him.

379
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: So at least again from what I see on paper,

380
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: I really like Iowa State. My problem is that I

381
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: hate going against Tom Herman in a big game. He's

382
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: generally very very tex This is a favorite, though not

383
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: a dog in this not a home dog. They are favored. Yeah,

384
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 1: And so I think I am going to go against

385
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: my own instincts here and I'm going to say Texas.

386
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 2: Outright, Okay, I always say it hasn't been the same

387
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: team on the road this year.

388
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: That's that's for sure. I think I'm gonna go against

389
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: my better judgment and go Texas here, just if only

390
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: because I know Tom Herman usually plays these games really tight.

391
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: This is a must win for them, and I just

392
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not going to The.

393
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 2: Front four has gotten after the quarterback really, really well.

394
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: I'm actually not terribly concerned about Texas's defense, like I

395
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: think they're gonna give you know, they're not great against

396
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: the past, but they've done a good job preventing against

397
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: those bigger plays. And I think that's largely because the

398
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: defensive line has improved in getting to the quarterback and

399
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: sort of throwing off the timing of teams. They've done

400
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 2: a good job against the run by and large too

401
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: many big plays like we saw against TCU earlier on

402
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: in the season. But there's there are things to like

403
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: about Texas at home against a team that has probably

404
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: underperformed on the road.

405
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: So I guess we sort of disagree. I'm very spot

406
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to three thirty on Friday. This one is interesting, Dan.

407
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: It is Notre Dame on the road, only a four

408
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: point favorite against the North Carolina tar Heels. That four

409
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: point line is going to catch some people off guard.

410
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: I saw at least one set of numbers this week

411
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: that said Carolina should actually be favored by three.

412
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: So Carolina should be favorite. So what did you think,

413
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: going in blind what the spread should be.

414
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: I thought it should be higher Notre Dame seven WHOA okay,

415
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: so for at least maybe I'm only speaking for one

416
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: man here, but I thought for sure that it was

417
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: going to be a little bit higher. Four. To me,

418
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: when you see four, that's screaming Carolina. Now, I have

419
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: seen it move a little bit in the Notre Dame direction,

420
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: which does not surprise me. I'm curious to see if

421
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: it moves more before kickoff. But look, I get it.

422
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: I am afraid of this game as a Notre Dame fan.

423
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: I have been since April.

424
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: It was hear to the Louisville game. I guess with

425
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 2: good reason though in the air.

426
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, so what is your lean here? I have

427
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 1: a lot to say on this game, as you might expect.

428
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: Do you have a lean just looking at this on

429
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: its face? Yeah?

430
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame wins a relatively high scoring game.

431
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 2: So the reason why I think Notre Dame isn't favored

432
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: by a touchdown or beyond. That is because North Carolina

433
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 2: still has probably one of the best five offenses in

434
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 2: the country.

435
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: I think is that a fair number offense?

436
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. Notre Dame is down to starting offensive linemen. They're

437
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: very good at even if Ian Book isn't going downfield

438
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: like he wasn't doing in the first I guess part

439
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: half of the season. They stay ahead of schedule. They

440
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: generate a lot of third and two s, third and threes,

441
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: which it gives themselves options. Tommy Reese has been very

442
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 2: good about that. They don't find themselves staring behind at

443
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: the sticks. And North Carolina their defense, especially upfront, doesn't

444
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: a ton for me. I like their linebacking cars, I

445
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: like chess arat, but upfront they don't cause a ton

446
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: of damage. This is not a havocy front four. They

447
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: give up too many big plays. That worries me too.

448
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: With how Notre Dame has been performing downfield as well,

449
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 2: I think the interesting chess match is the obvious one, right.

450
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: It's Phil Longo, the offensive coordinator for North Carolina against

451
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: Clark Lee. It's North Carolina has struggled at times this

452
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: year seeing what is working and just rolling with it

453
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: like oh now, they're going back to Sam Howell. Now,

454
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 2: They're going back to the run game when Sam Howell

455
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 2: was cooking. Now they're like, it's gauging a game plan

456
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 2: early on in terms of what Notre Dame is allowing

457
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 2: and what they can't stop versus Notre Dame.

458
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: Wigh, if they.

459
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 2: Need to shift, how much they pressure Sam Howell, how

460
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 2: much they need to run, blitz, how much they need

461
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 2: to get after Sam Howell. They're not a blitzing team.

462
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 2: You will know better than I do, But they don't

463
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 2: seem like a big blitzing team. So it's just the

464
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: patience of Notre Dame against freaking out if they go

465
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: down fourteen to three early on, because knowing that North

466
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: Carolina's defense is probably gonna bend a significant amount. So

467
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame does give up points because there's

468
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: just there's too much speed. We saw them give up

469
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 2: the big plays to another high flying offense like Clemson's

470
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,920
Speaker 2: is even though they did a great job against Travis Etn.

471
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: I think North Carolina is in a better place than

472
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Clemson was, just because Sam Howell is so much more

473
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 2: experienced than dj Uyanga La. So I'm gonna go Notre

474
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: Dame here forty two to thirty five. I think they're

475
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 2: gonna give up some big plays, but ultimately they're gonna

476
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: get enough stops. I'm more a little bit worried about

477
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: the offensive line and opening up holes for Kyron Williams

478
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: or whoever. But ultimately, I just I need you to

479
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: beat this Notre Dame team. You need to get stops,

480
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 2: you need to force mistakes, you need to whether it's

481
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: special teams, and neither one of these teams have especially

482
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: great special teams, so I'm gonna scratch that out.

483
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: I like the Irish by a touchdown. Yeah. I well,

484
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 1: two things jump out to me, and I actually doing

485
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,479
Speaker 1: the deep dive felt a little bit more reassured in

486
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: this contest. The first thing is that I think Notre

487
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,959
Speaker 1: Dame is good enough upfront to pressure Sam Howe without blitzing. OK,

488
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: and that's important. They're not going to stop him, but

489
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 1: if they can rush them, if they get in his face,

490
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 1: they can muddy up the pocket a little bit. I

491
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: think that improves their chances to at least contain him

492
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 1: to some degree. You're right, they don't blitz a ton.

493
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: They don't have to, And my guess is that looking

494
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: at what North Carolina has done so far this year,

495
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: the front seven, the front four is going to be

496
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: good enough to change the rhythm for how a little bit,

497
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: and that could alter that effect.

498
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: They're also like to the best running team in the country.

499
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 1: Correct, Correct, But Sam Howe everything still flows through him,

500
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: So I think if you can limit the damage when

501
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: he's got the ball in his hands, or you're all

502
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: the wiser. The big thing, though, is to your point

503
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: about scoring, I don't think Notre Dame wants to get

504
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: into a shootout with North Carolina. If they can avoid it.

505
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: They may not be able to avoid it, but I

506
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 1: think this is a bat you.

507
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: Can't really avoid it when when the North Carolina defense

508
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 2: is involved sort of happens that way.

509
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: I think that Notre Dame can score. My question is

510
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: to what end is Notre Dame's defense going to be

511
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: able to hold down North Carolina? Right right? I think

512
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: Notre Dame wants to run it. They've wanted to run

513
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: it all year. It's what they're good at. They're going

514
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: to give it to Kyrien Williams, to Chris Tyree. But

515
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: the more important component on the running side of things

516
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,240
Speaker 1: may actually be in book I think I Book's running

517
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: ability is ultimately the difference in this game. Both of

518
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: Carolina's losses against Florida State and against Virginia have come

519
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: against teams that we're featuring quarterbacks as part of the

520
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: rushing attack. They very clearly game planned to include the

521
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: quarterback as part of the rushing attack. If you can

522
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,199
Speaker 1: find a pro bet for em Book rushing guards, you

523
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: probably won't be able to find it until closer to kickoff,

524
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: But I would go over. I would feel terrific about it.

525
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: I'll play the where's my sound here blunk of the

526
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: week if I see it, post it anywhere, I'll tweet

527
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: it out, I'll post it in our verball or discord

528
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: on Patreon. But I think that's the move, and I

529
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: think that is the difference. So I like Notre Dame here.

530
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 1: I think they're the better team. I think they certainly

531
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: are the better defense. I am concerned a little bit

532
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: about the line, but I think in the same conference.

533
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: They're in the same conference, They've played a lot of

534
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 1: the same teams, and Notre Dame has certainly come out

535
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: on top of those their common opponents in much more

536
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: impressive fashion. I would not want to bet this game.

537
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 1: If I were actually betting, I'd probably take the points

538
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: at home, as I always do when Notre Dame's involved.

539
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: But I do feel coward. I do feel better about

540
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: the matchup after having looked a little bit more intently

541
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: at it. Okay, fair enough, let's go to your Oregon

542
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: versus Oregon matchup here. What are we calling this game now?

543
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: Oregon Oregon State Sir, Oregon.

544
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: Oregon orgon matchup. You know, I don't know what we're

545
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: calling it.

546
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: I think it was our friend Ramsey Nazraala of Eleven

547
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: Warriors suggested the Platypus affair because they play for the

548
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 2: Platypus Cup. The platypus is sort of halfway between a

549
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 2: beaver and a duck, so it makes sense. I've seen

550
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: suggestions for the Oregon I'm throwing out the turf Warregon,

551
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: the Rainy Rumble No, yes, no, the fur Fight nod,

552
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: but f I R because of Douglas Fir Trees. Seven

553
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: pm Friday, The thunder Egg throw Down. The official state

554
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: rock of the state of Oregon is the thunder Egg

555
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: Oregon minus thirteen on the road at Oregon State.

556
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: Yeah. Other than this being a questionably named rivalry where

557
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: we obviously would usually throw the records out. Is there

558
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: any reason to pick Oregon State here either? Plus the

559
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: points are outright, any reason whatsoever.

560
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 2: Sure, Oregon's defense has not been good, especially up the middle.

561
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 2: Oregon's been pushed around. Oregon's been confused. Oregon has struggled

562
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: tackling safeties, linebackers. It hasn't been great even on offense

563
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: in the middle of their offensive line, they've been pushed around.

564
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: We saw from UCLA and it's not all that inspiring

565
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: at this point because Oregon State can't do much. They're

566
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: not generating that much in the way of chunky plays

567
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: and UCLA was going into last week, Ucla was generating

568
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 2: bigger plays and they did it against Oregon's defense once again.

569
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: Now again Oregon State runs well. Jamar Jefferson has been

570
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: probably the most consistent element to this Oregon State team.

571
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 2: They just they can't throw the ball, and UCLA was

572
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 2: able to generate those plays. They don't have dudes in

573
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 2: the passing game to me, and Oregon just needs to

574
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: clean up its tackling and they'll be okay. I don't

575
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: know how easy that is in terms of easier said

576
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 2: than done, but if they're at least approach incompetent. In

577
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: that regard, I think Oregon wins by twenty points. The

578
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: running element worries me, Jamar Jefferson worries me like he

579
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 2: should everybody. But I don't know when push comes to shove.

580
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 2: I think it could be close at halftime, and Oregon

581
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: wins this game, you know, forty two to twenty one.

582
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you. I am with you

583
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 1: on Oregon. I'll lay the points on the road, even

584
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: though Corvallis is a weird place to play. I'll lay

585
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: those points.

586
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: It is weird, but there's nobody in the crowd.

587
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: It's fine, all right. Two other games here on Friday,

588
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: real quick. We have Iowa at home, favored by about

589
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns over Nebraska. Yeah. And then we've got Hero's Game. Yeah,

590
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: the Hero's Game. We've got the big game between Stanford

591
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: and cal is a two point home favorite. Any leans

592
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: on either of those two games?

593
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I am leaning towards Iowa's kicker, once again, blowing

594
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: kisses to the Nebraska sideline, because that's how last year ended.

595
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 2: Nebraska has not won this game since twenty fourteen. What

596
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: was the number four movie at the box office that weekend.

597
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 2: Nebraska last beat Iowa. That's right, Ty, Interstellar, Yeah, Interstellar,

598
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 2: the number four movie. The last time Nebraska won this game.

599
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 2: Iowa can't throw the ball. They go three and out

600
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: way too much because of it. But Iowa stops the

601
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: one thing Nebraska sometimes does well, which is run the ball.

602
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: It is a rivalry game. We saw it closer than

603
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: it probably should have been last year, where Iowa was

604
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: a more complete.

605
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: Team than they look like right now.

606
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: Still, though Nebraska, I wast Illinois. I have a thirty

607
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 2: to thirteen hawks.

608
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: I really like Iowa here. Nebraska is literally a one

609
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: man band with Luke McCaffrey either throws it or he

610
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: runs it. But and Wandel Ro. We like Wondel Roe.

611
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: We like Wandelle. But it's just I don't know. I

612
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's a lost season in some sense for Nebraska.

613
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: They haven't been good. I used to think that the

614
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: defense was better. That's kind of going out the window.

615
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: So I'm with you on Iowa and don't really have

616
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: a lean and sta And for Cal it's a fun matchup.

617
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: I see Cal's favored by two. I'm inclined to just

618
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: go home. Team minus two.

619
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to Stanford by six. I don't like Cow.

620
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 2: I've watched Cal play football. They've had some interesting stretches,

621
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: but they've looked pretty bad. And I know the UCLA

622
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: context was very different. I think Stanford has its act

623
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: together a little bit more strangers. That might sound. Yeah,

624
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: the lows of Cal worry me. So I'm going Cardinal here.

625
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: Actually on the road, let's go to early on Saturday.

626
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that Maryland Indiana game. Indiana favored by

627
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: thirteen and one half points. So Indiana lost that game

628
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: a week ago against Ohio State. Is there any letdown effect,

629
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: any let down effect at all for the Hoosiers now

630
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: coming back home after that big loss to the Buckeyes,

631
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: going up against a team like a Maryland who you know,

632
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: they're a pretty heavy favorite against the Terrapins. I don't.

633
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: Not only do I think there's a letdown effect, I

634
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: think there's a letdown look ahead effect.

635
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: I play the sound Oh look at don Sandwich. I'm

636
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: so hungry. I'm so hungry. Oh boy, they've.

637
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: Got Wisconsin on the road next week. Interesting, Dan, I

638
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 2: sing love Indiana football. I love watching them. I like

639
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 2: listening to Tom Allen. I love ty Fry Fogel, I

640
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 2: love Michael Pennix. I like so many things I know

641
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 2: you like Stevie Scotty hasn't been a huge factor this year.

642
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: I like so many things about watching Indiana. Also bumm

643
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 2: that Tom Allen's son left, And is it hurt?

644
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: I think you weren't a believer in the who'sh I

645
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: was not. I was not a believer. How how can

646
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: we take you seriously now? Because all you did week thirteen?

647
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: Now you finally come to us with your your hat

648
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 1: in your hands, Dan Tye.

649
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: Every single week we bring up Indiana football.

650
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: And what do you say, second order wins? I can

651
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: order whens, second order wins, second orders. I don't say

652
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: it like that, but continue. That's how I hear you.

653
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: And now they really perform super well in a losing

654
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 2: effort against Ohio State. I think they're going to beat Maryland.

655
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: Maryland hasn't played in a long time. They've had two

656
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 2: weeks off because of COVID. Not good. It feels shootout

657
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 2: e to me. I think IU wins this game thirty

658
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 2: four to twenty eight. But Turp's cover if I mean,

659
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what these rosters are looking like. I

660
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: don't know anything. I just the sense I get if

661
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,240
Speaker 2: all things are relatively equal in terms of available players,

662
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 2: which might not necessarily be the case. I think Maryland

663
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 2: should be able to get a little bit chunky score

664
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 2: some points. Ultimately Indiana gets more stops thirty four to

665
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 2: twenty eight.

666
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: I would not want to lay two touchdowns here. It

667
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,680
Speaker 1: might be ten eleven points something like that, but I

668
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: would I would say thirty five twenty four, give me

669
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: Indiana to win, but not cover at home with that potential.

670
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: Let me after all of that, we do agree, We

671
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,919
Speaker 1: do agree. Let's get this one out of the way.

672
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Penn State Michigan. Michigan's favored by two.

673
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: I didn't even open up any of my spreadsheets for

674
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: this because I don't think you're gonna find any ranking

675
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: system in the world that can accurately portray how much

676
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: Penn State has has packed it in. And I said

677
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: it on the last show, Michigan is my stone, cold, ironclad,

678
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: uh quick set quickset, not a sponsor lock of the

679
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 1: week of the week. Oh my god. At least Michigan

680
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: can feel good about Cade McNamara coming in. Maybe giving

681
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: him a spark. Give me one real, one good, just

682
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: comparable story on the Penn State side.

683
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 2: Give me Tracy chat Tracy Chatman. I was gonna say,

684
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: we need to come. I don't think we can license that,

685
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: but now I can sing like three seconds and giving one.

686
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: Give me one good reason to feel good about Penn

687
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: State after what you've seen in the last five weeks.

688
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: Just give me one thing, one thing.

689
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: Do it for the Gipper or Pat fryarm youth element

690
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 2: within one for the Gipper.

691
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

692
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: They actually are okay against the runs. Sometimes Penn State

693
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 2: they're terrible against the pass. I think I just saw

694
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: that they had an opt out. I don't know if

695
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 2: it's a contributor.

696
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,560
Speaker 1: It might have been me. Yeah, I think it was

697
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: the fan base. Okay.

698
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 2: But so which of these teams seems more pack it up,

699
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: pack it in, just in terms of effort, emotion, ready

700
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: for the year to be done. And which of these

701
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 2: teams has the better players and is it the same team?

702
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: I think it's probably the same team.

703
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: I think penncer to both Penn State has better players,

704
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 2: but more pronounced sense of let's just get this season done.

705
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: With absolutely, fresolutely not even close.

706
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 2: Penn State has been close to winning games. They were

707
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 2: close to beating Indiana, which has aged well. They should

708
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: have won that game, but that's, you know whatever, that's

709
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 2: pre Halloween. They lose an ugly fashion. In Nebraska, they lose,

710
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 2: although they played a decent second half against Maryland. They

711
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: quitted themselves okay at times against Ohio State, and just

712
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 2: look like nothing against Iowa. Michigan had a little bit

713
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 2: of fire in coming back, made the quarterback change, but

714
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 2: it was against Rutgers.

715
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 1: Listen, we cannot use any of the usual devices.

716
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 2: I know, I understand. I'm just trying to solve the

717
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 2: effort to.

718
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Measure this game. This is all feel and I'm telling

719
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: you your nuts. If you pick Penn stay here, you

720
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: are nuts. They have looked lifeless out there two weeks ago.

721
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: There were guys on defense jogging around. Do not even

722
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,280
Speaker 1: go there. This is all Michigan lock at two points.

723
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: You give me two points, I'll give two points, no problem.

724
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm out on Michigan.

725
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 2: Couldn't solve Rocky Lombardy.

726
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: Dan Penn State has no quarterback at the moment. No quarterback.

727
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not making a case. Four pen sent I'm

728
00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: just making a case against Michigan because that's also very difficult.

729
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: I am out. I am so out. I've opted out

730
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: of Penn State, and I think Penn State's opted out

731
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:37,959
Speaker 1: of Penn State.

732
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: All right, I say Michigan by three. I think it's

733
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: another heartbreaking loss for Penn State. I'm not heartbreaking, but

734
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: heart mentioning.

735
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: All right, we agree. Other games here in the early block,

736
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: We've got Texas Tech against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma State favored

737
00:39:55,280 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: by eleven. We've got Kentucky against Florida favored by twenty three,

738
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State minus twenty eight on the road against Illinois.

739
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: We've got Tulsa versus Houston, Houston favored by two. Game

740
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: you called out earlier. And then we've got NC State

741
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: against Syracuse, which initially I had the fourteen on the

742
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:21,760
Speaker 1: Syracuse side, when in fact it's NC State minus fourteen.

743
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for that.

744
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: No problem for revolution, Huh what do they know?

745
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: No, thank you for that correction.

746
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 2: I like, oh Man, Texa attack has been pretty bad

747
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 2: on the road. They have not won on the road

748
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State and sort of letdown mode after Bedlam. But

749
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: they also don't separate from teams. I guess I'm gonna go.

750
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: I guess I'll go Oklahoma State here by a couple

751
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 2: of touchdowns. Yeah, they can cover this game. I like

752
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 2: Florida big Kyle Pitts's back. I saw the news report

753
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 2: that he's making his return after a couple of weeks.

754
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 2: So that's big for Florida. Kentucky licking their wounds after

755
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 2: just a demolishing the hands of Alabama. I do like

756
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: Ohio State minus twenty eight, but I gave it a minute.

757
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: I gave it a minute to think, well, Okay, did

758
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 2: what did Illinois do last week?

759
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 1: And a win?

760
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,480
Speaker 2: Like what? It's a Nebraska team that you know has

761
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,919
Speaker 2: shown I don't know, not much. Would they beat Penn State?

762
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 1: Sure?

763
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: What is it about twenty eight points that scares me?

764
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: With Ohio State not fully looking the same, it's it's

765
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 2: nothing to do with Illinois. So I couldn't find the

766
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 2: Tracy Chapman of it. So I'm won Ohio State there,

767
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,720
Speaker 2: n C State I like by three touchdowns against Syracuse.

768
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: I'm taking Houston at home against a very good Tulsa team.

769
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: I'm taking Houston at home. You look at what Houston

770
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: schedule has been. They've acquitted themselves pretty well. They've just

771
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: played a lot of really good teams. So their losses

772
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: are to BYU which, yeah, it's understandable. Cincinnati, Yeah, it's understandable.

773
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: UCF also defensible coming off of bye week at home

774
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: looks Razor thin. The margin against Tulsa, who what they

775
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 2: snuck by Tulane last week. So I'm gonna go Houston

776
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: here by four or five points against Tulsa. I don't

777
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: know if I fully trust the Tulsa offense to consistently

778
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: move the ball. So yeah, we're gonna go Houston here

779
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: and a nice win.

780
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: I like Florida big. I like Oklahoma State in a

781
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: game that's right around that number. I do like Ohio

782
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: State minus the number. I think I agree with you

783
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 1: on all these games, actually, which is an uncomfortable thing

784
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 1: for me, But all five of them we agree. We agree.

785
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 2: Although I think did Texas Tech like comfortably lead Oklahoma

786
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: State last year and the year before.

787
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: I believe they did.

788
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: Now these are two different coaches twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen

789
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 2: for Tech, but I believe that's true.

790
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

791
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to file away if you think that's important

792
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: in the after a good.

793
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: Job block, Dan, Yeah, iron pol m hmm. Alabama favored

794
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: by twenty three and a half point. Oh my god?

795
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 2: So are you are you throwing records out?

796
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: You have to throw records out here. Doesn't mean that

797
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: Alabama is not going to cover, but you have to

798
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: throw the records out in the Iron Bowl because it's

799
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: a game where we've got a lot of history, a

800
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: lot of pageantry, a lot of quirky moments. I think

801
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: Alabama is going to win this game by a couple

802
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, so not too worried about that. But the

803
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: thing that I kept coming back to is the fact

804
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: that they're not bulletproof. They're just not. Their defense is

805
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: not bulletproof. So in terms of the points spread, Dan,

806
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: do you see anything that would keep this one inside

807
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: that number? Keeping in mind that Alabama's covered, I think

808
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: it's eighty percent of the time so far this year.

809
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: And Tank Bigsby I saw is questionable for the Auburn Tigers.

810
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: So are both of their starting tackles. I think they're

811
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 2: both out as far as I can tell. So that

812
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 2: makes what Tank bigs me worries me. Bo Nicks has

813
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: never lost to the Tide. No, he hasn't bow Knicks

814
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 2: has never ever lost. Now, I know you mentioned the

815
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: bulletproof element, or the lack thereof. It might just be

816
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: that in retrospect giving up a bunch of points to

817
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 2: Old Miss, it shouldn't happen on Alabama's caliber defensive wise,

818
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: like it shouldn't necessarily be fifty points or forty eight

819
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: or whatever it was. But outside of that, in retrospect,

820
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 2: holding Texas A and M to twenty four, it's pretty good.

821
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: It's not bad, right, No, since giving up forty eight

822
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 2: to Ole Miss. I mean this is on the fly

823
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:29,760
Speaker 2: math here ty twenty four to Georgia, seventeen to Tennessee,

824
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: zero to Mississippi State two weeks not playing because of

825
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 2: the LSU cancelation, three points against Kentucky. We don't love

826
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 2: any of those four offenses, but if math serves, that's

827
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 2: allowing eleven points a game since the Ole Miss game. Now,

828
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 2: Auburn has a better offense than probably at least the

829
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: last three teams Tennessee, Mississippi State, Kentucky. Georgia was operating

830
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 2: definitely better when Georgia played Auburn. So seventeen points twenty

831
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 2: one points. I think Alabama's in a really nice spot

832
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 2: to win this game comfortably twenty three and a half.

833
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot of points in a rivalry.

834
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: I think Alabama's operating on such a crazy level, though

835
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 2: right now.

836
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: They're really good.

837
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 2: Was the thing that the slow start against Tennessee worries me?

838
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: From Auburn? Just you can't afford a down first quarter?

839
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 2: Your first Stanza can't be that listless.

840
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: Did you happen to see Nase Harris in the move

841
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:30,320
Speaker 1: he put? Oh so great out there last week? He's

842
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: so good Mac Jones. It feels like every highlight a

843
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: sea of him. He's just very comfortable in the pocket.

844
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: You want to talk about calm throw Kyle Trask, sure,

845
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: call him throw Mac or the Mac attack, whatever you

846
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: want to call it. He's been sensational when he's got

847
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: time to throw the football. I don't know if Auburn

848
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: can do much to curtail that, to be honest with you,

849
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: so I wavered on this one. I really did. Of course,

850
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: you throw the records out. Of course, it's a rivalry

851
00:45:56,880 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 1: where we've seen some odd things go down in recent memory.

852
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 1: But I worry that Auburn just does not have the

853
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 1: kind of consistent firepower they need on offense to keep

854
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: this one within within that number, like, oh, they don't.

855
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: I think Nick Saban's gonna know what Auburn has to

856
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:20,759
Speaker 1: throw at him. And whereas before in previous iterations there

857
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: might have been more of a multi pronged attack to

858
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: worry about, I just I don't see it this year.

859
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: It feels a little bit flatter. So, even though it's

860
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: against better judgment, I go Alabama minus the points.

861
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Auburn's run the ball up at her now starting

862
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 2: tackles out Tank Bigsby is the definite.

863
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: Maybe.

864
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you gotta be able to move the ball,

865
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: especially through the air, And I don't see it from

866
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks this year. I have forty five to twenty one,

867
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: So raise or thin cover for Alabama.

868
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 1: We are a bunch of other games in this afternoon block.

869
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: Let me rifle through them. Dan got the Egg Bowl

870
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,800
Speaker 1: Mississippi State against Ole Missile Misses a ten and a

871
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 1: half point home favorite. By the way, I want no

872
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: part of the points.

873
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 2: For Oh, I love this game. I'll take it.

874
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna give the points. No, I'm gonna

875
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: take the point. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I don't.

876
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 2: I thought you just want to know part of wagering

877
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: on it at all.

878
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: No, Mississippi State with their improved defense, All Miss with

879
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: their barely defense. I just I don't know who I

880
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 1: like to win. But if you're give me ten points

881
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: one way or the other, I'm taking it. So give

882
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: me give me State here.

883
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Will Rogers State Park was a lot better.

884
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 2: Do you understand that reference?

885
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: There is a Will Rogers being again, there's a Will

886
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: Rogers Institute too.

887
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, I think he was competent accurately. Wasn't

888
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 2: great downfield last week against Georgia, but they gave the

889
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: Dogs a fight, and that's with JT. Daniels looking pretty

890
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 2: great for Georgia. So I think Misssippi State's still a

891
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: ways away, but in a rivalry game with as weird

892
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 2: as it was last year with State winning the game

893
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 2: and Elijah Moore, I I'm just gonna go with State here.

894
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: I think I think All Miss wins by four to

895
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 2: seven points. I think we'll probably go to overtime. It

896
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: just feels like a year to go to overtime. So

897
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: egg bowling overtime in twenty twenty, that's my call. So

898
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 2: Mississippi State pus the points.

899
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: Other games in this afternoon block, there are a bunch

900
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: who've got Colorado at USC USC favored by too many points.

901
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,760
Speaker 1: Give me the thirteen and a half. Yeah, yep. Northwestern

902
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,839
Speaker 1: on the road minus eleven and a half against Michigan State.

903
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: Does this feel too low to you? Feels too low

904
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: to me?

905
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: No, because Northwestern does not have a good offense at all.

906
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: So if you're going to translate, if your currency exchange

907
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: involves Northwestern, eleven and a half, Northwestern points are seventeen

908
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 2: and a half decent offense points. So I understand it.

909
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 2: I'm going to give the points, but I understand the line.

910
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,400
Speaker 2: Michigan State is truly bad. Northwestern should not have that

911
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 2: many issues. But Michigan State comfortably beat Northwestern last year

912
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: when Northwestern had some offensive struggles. He said, as completely

913
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: downplaying a future at Northwestern twenty nineteen offense, I think

914
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 2: the Cats are there. It's a letdown, spot ty. It

915
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 2: is bea Wisconsin you become a top ten ish team.

916
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: I don't think Michigan State is at all good. But

917
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: without an explosive offense, Northwestern can't really run the ball.

918
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 2: They're accurate enough, but they don't really make plays downfield.

919
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:18,879
Speaker 2: It's hard to separate on the road as a double

920
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: digit favorite no matter who you're playing. I have Northwestern

921
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 2: covering this, but kind of barely. Twenty one nine, twenty

922
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 2: three to ten something in there.

923
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: There's a real chance that Northwestern wins this football game

924
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: by a thirteen to two score. Sure, there's a real

925
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: chance that there are all take those points, I fifteen

926
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: to three something like that. Yeah, but I'm still taking

927
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: the Cats because I don't think Michigan State can score

928
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: on them. Say what you want about decent offense equivalent

929
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: here in terms of the point spread, but I just

930
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't think Michigan State's got that offense. So no,

931
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:59,360
Speaker 1: they definitely don't. Rutgers, my no, Rutgers getting twelve points,

932
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: wow the road against Perdue, Is that right? That's I think? Right? Yeah,

933
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: give me Rutgers, baby. I like the Scarlet Knights.

934
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: Although yeah, I mean Purdue should have won that garbage call.

935
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 1: Rutgers. They're feisty.

936
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: They're just sort of playing with the like it's year zero.

937
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: Who cares, let's buy in and see what happens. Whereas Purdue,

938
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 2: you know, going back and forth quarterback wise, they I mean,

939
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: they did get Rondelle Moore back. They just it seems

940
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 2: like one week they're really throwing the ball well and

941
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 2: they're not running well. In the next week, you know,

942
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 2: Xander Horvath will go off or something like that, but

943
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: they're inconsistent through the air. I'm gonna go with Rutgers

944
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 2: and not winning the game, but losing by seven to ten.

945
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: We've got Pitt against Clemson. Clemson's a twenty six and

946
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 1: a half point favorite. The question is, first off, is

947
00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: there any kind of ability from Dabo Sweeney to channel

948
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 1: all that animosity into this football game. They're on a

949
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a longer layover for obvious reasons. And secondly,

950
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:13,000
Speaker 1: is there any component to this game of pat nardoozy

951
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 1: because of recent history against Clemson, having their number, knowing

952
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: how to play against them. It was a long time

953
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: ago at this point with it was it was a

954
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: long time ago. That's James Connor pit with Kenny Pickett

955
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: back out there, knowing that Clemson's got some vulnerability against

956
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: the pass. Like, I don't know, is there a potential

957
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: here for a redux of that Pit Clemson game from

958
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 1: several years ago?

959
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 2: So you're asking, do I believe in Addison Turner overdrive?

960
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 2: That's right, Jordan Addison DJ Turner. Jordan Adison did not

961
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 2: play last week. I'm not sure the circumstance, if it

962
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,920
Speaker 2: was injury or COVID related contact tracing or what have you.

963
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 2: I think the return of Trevor Lawrence. I think the

964
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 2: loads of Pitt though, the loads of pit. I think

965
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 2: we're Joey Yellen Pitt. I'm what's spread again? Twenty six,

966
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: twenty seven points.

967
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: Twenty six and a half. And keep in mind that

968
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: Clemson won the game forty two to ten a year ago.

969
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: They did win the game comfortably a year ago. Clemson

970
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 2: this year. I'm checking this right now to verify it.

971
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 2: Because Clemson's not good against the spread. They've only covered

972
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 2: forty percent of their games against the spread, so they're

973
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,200
Speaker 2: a bit overvalued in how lines makers are setting that line.

974
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Pitt here. I'm gonna take Pitt to cover.

975
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 2: They lose by three touchdowns, but yeah, Clemson has They've

976
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: definitely struggled. Pitt hasn't been great against the spread, but

977
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 2: Clemson's definitely struggled, you know, separating themselves from teams of late,

978
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 2: and so I don't think. I think they still have

979
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: killers on that team, but not in the same way

980
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 2: they've had these past couple of years. So Pitt is

981
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: competent enough throw away the Notre Dame game, They'll just

982
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 2: throw it away forget about it. I think Pitt loses

983
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 2: game by three touchdowns, but it's a ten point game

984
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:57,919
Speaker 2: in the third quarter.

985
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Pit plus a point as well. Yeah,

986
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 1: that was sort of my first impulse there. Louisville minus

987
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: one on the road at Boston College. We've got Coastal

988
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 1: Carolina minus seventeen on the road against Texas State, Louisiana

989
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: minus four touchdowns against ul Monroe, and Cincinnati minus a

990
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: hefty number thirty six and a half on the road

991
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:26,919
Speaker 1: at Temple. Temple's awful, Yes, they are awful this season.

992
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: What's his name?

993
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: PJ Walker has been great. PJ Walker has Carolina Panthers.

994
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 2: I mean, not great, but he's you know, it's a

995
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: good story. He was in the XFL through for something

996
00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 2: like two sixty a week, could go on a win. Yeah,

997
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 2: it's bad for Temple, but no, I'm I'm inclined to

998
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 2: go Cincinnati minus anything. In that matchup, just because Temple

999
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 2: has been really bad this year?

1000
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: Is it a look ahead spot for Cincy. I don't

1001
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: think it matters here, Dan, Oh no, they have.

1002
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 2: It's an open face. So yeah, they have a bye

1003
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: and then they have Tulsa.

1004
00:53:57,520 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1005
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: I think Cincinnati Big is fine. Thirty six and a

1006
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,160
Speaker 2: half is a lot of points, but they should be fine.

1007
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:02,600
Speaker 1: Close call.

1008
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's a letdown after UCF, but

1009
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 2: Temple's the right team to get after a letdown or

1010
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,720
Speaker 2: to get after that kind of close when Louisiana should

1011
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: beat fun Row Big. Coastal is a nice matchup for

1012
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 2: Texas State, or I mean Texas State is the nice

1013
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 2: matchup for Coastal because Texas State is going to throw

1014
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 2: the ball the whole time and Coastal's done a really

1015
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 2: nice job. It is a letdown spot though for the

1016
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 2: Shunts after that app State one tie going on the road.

1017
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a little shootout eat that Coastal. I'm going

1018
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 2: to take Texas State. I don't have good reason, tie,

1019
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:33,600
Speaker 2: Brady McBride, Brady McBride, excuse me, had a nice game

1020
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 2: the bobcats Texas State. Yeah you tell me, Tie, Yeah, No,

1021
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 2: we're the bodcasts.

1022
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: We don't need to have a justifiable case to pick

1023
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: any of these teams. That's sort of what that whole

1024
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: show's about.

1025
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 2: Texas State, as I look at their record was close

1026
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 2: against Georgia Southern, they scored points against Louisiana BYU not

1027
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 2: so much, relatively close against South Alabama, close against BC tie.

1028
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 2: I think they can be frisky enough. So frisky enough

1029
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 2: Brady McBride completes some passes, they do not lose by seventeen.

1030
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 2: It was by fourteen points, and they cover against the Shauns.

1031
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 2: I love BC against Louisville. BC is a much better

1032
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 2: team at home. It was close against Syracuse and the

1033
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: Carrier Dome, but BC at home against Louisville team that's

1034
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,239
Speaker 2: just far too mistake prone. I think BC is well

1035
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,840
Speaker 2: coached enough to take advantage. So I'm going to the

1036
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: scream and Eagles there, screaming Eagles.

1037
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, the Screaming Eagles had done a

1038
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,959
Speaker 1: really good job in turnover margin so far this year,

1039
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 1: and there are a lot of circumstances where obviously that's important.

1040
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: I think against Louisville it's even more important because Louisville

1041
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: is very prone to turnovers this year. You could argue

1042
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty much felled the whole season. So YEP, I

1043
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: am with you. On Boston College final block.

1044
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 2: They be pitt at home. They comfortably beat Georgia Tech

1045
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 2: at home. They showed fight against Notre Dame, but ultimately

1046
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: the better team won that game. They're a good team

1047
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 2: in Chestnut Hill final block of games.

1048
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: Here, let's go to the late nightcap. Let's talk about

1049
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: Oklahoma minus ten on the road at West Virginia. This

1050
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 1: line is screaming West Virginia. Is it screaming? What do

1051
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: you love about West Virginia? Nothing?

1052
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:23,200
Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing? Well, that's not true. That's not true. If

1053
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 2: I like, how do you like nothing about West Virginia.

1054
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 2: It's one of the best twenty defenses in the country.

1055
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 1: If you're playing the Tracy Chapman game, I guess your

1056
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: reason for West Virginia would be the defense, certainly not

1057
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: these Yes, it would be the defense. They get the

1058
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: hell off the field. It's amazing. I don't think ten

1059
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: is enough here. I don't think ten is enough. Oklahoma

1060
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: annihilated Oklahoma State a week ago. That was also a

1061
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,240
Speaker 1: good defense. That game was over in the first quarter,

1062
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 1: So we could play the potential like let down effect,

1063
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: but it's for sure letdown. Oklahoma may have gotten that

1064
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: out of their system in like the second quarter, so

1065
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: I don't buy into it here. Can the Ears slow

1066
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: down Oklahoma? Yeah? But are they going to be able

1067
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 1: to score enough to keep it within ten? I don't

1068
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: think so. I hate taking Oklahoma on the road, but

1069
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: they've covered eighty three percent of the time this year.

1070
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: I really like them in the spot. I think there's

1071
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity to roll over West Virginia, roll into that

1072
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: Big twelve title game, give themselves another shot here. So

1073
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 1: give me the Sooners minus at ten.

1074
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 2: I think West Virginia's defense is better, if not a

1075
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 2: little less proven than Oklahoma States, just because of those

1076
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: guys upfront are just so good. If this game where

1077
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 2: a Norman, obviously, it's a lot easier to like the

1078
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,520
Speaker 2: Sooners against the two best teams on West Virginia's schedule.

1079
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,080
Speaker 2: The offensive scored, I believe this is all offensive points,

1080
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 2: thirteen points in each of them at Oklahoma State and

1081
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: at Texas. How many points do you need to beat

1082
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 2: Oklahoma month any given week if you're just sort of

1083
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 2: a replacement level offense probably thirty five to thirty eight

1084
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 2: at least.

1085
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thirty yeah.

1086
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 2: I think I think both teams that I think Iowa

1087
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 2: State scored thirty seven, and I want to say Kansas

1088
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 2: State score thirty five. Is that right somewhere in there.

1089
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: West Virginia is not getting near there? The question is

1090
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: the ten point thing. There are elements of West Virginia's offense.

1091
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 2: I like, I still think they are a year or

1092
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 2: two away from really stalking up. The game changes on

1093
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 2: that side of the ball. So Oklahoma's going to win

1094
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 2: this game. I think they're Oklahoma wins by thirteen. Oh

1095
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: so I have it as like thirty one seventeen and

1096
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:37,920
Speaker 2: that two touchdown range, so they barely cover. But I

1097
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 2: don't think it's an annihilation by any stretch because a

1098
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,160
Speaker 2: good defense at home, as a double digit dog tie,

1099
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 2: that's really tough. That's really tough in a letdown spot,

1100
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 2: I'm going to go for I'm just gonna take the

1101
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 2: points here. I think Oklahoma wins. Oklahoma wins, but I'm

1102
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 2: gonna stake this is this is who I am as

1103
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: a picker. Double digit dog at home with a good

1104
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,320
Speaker 2: defense usually, I say, and also a tough place to play,

1105
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 2: which Morgantown is, but not right now with given the

1106
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 2: crowd constraints. I'm still gonna take West Virginia in those points.

1107
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,120
Speaker 1: How about that? Okay? I mean, I think it's it's

1108
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: an intriguing line. It's lower than I expected. You were

1109
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: talking on our slack channel that you would shave your

1110
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: head if West Virginia loss this. Are you still good?

1111
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: I can't eat all of the heat I can get

1112
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 2: in the Chicago winner Nima furin.

1113
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: Some other games. Here we've got LSU against Texas A

1114
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: and M and M favored by fourteen points. Dan sign

1115
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,880
Speaker 1: of the times, a sign of a weird twenty twenty

1116
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: that this game is looking on the surface so lopsided.

1117
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: The Agis are like plugging away. Man. They got four

1118
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,840
Speaker 1: games left. Looks like a nine to one season is

1119
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: probable at this point. That one loss, of course, being

1120
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 1: their second game of the year against Alabama, covering in

1121
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of their games. Something like that. I

1122
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: think I saw I like A and M here. I

1123
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: don't know if I like them enough to lay fourteen

1124
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: points like Perhaps it's just baggage from years past, but

1125
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: I trust LSU to some extent to keep this one

1126
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: within that number by give me the Tracy Chapman. I

1127
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: don't know if there is a Tracy Chapman, Dan, I

1128
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: don't know if there is, but I know my first

1129
01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: instinct was to go A and M, and my first

1130
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:31,920
Speaker 1: instinct this year has been woefully underserving the public. So

1131
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: give me, give me ls post the points. Why not?

1132
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,560
Speaker 2: You've watched LSU play defense, That's why not. You watched

1133
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 2: multiple attempts to play defense from the LSU Tigers. They

1134
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 2: give up nearly fifty to Auburn, forty five to Miszoo.

1135
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Now this is a team that is healthier, and I

1136
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: just I'd rather just go with what I'm more sure of,

1137
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 2: and that's text saying M at this point.

1138
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, give me the aggies here elsewhere in that

1139
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 1: later block, A bunch of games here, Georgia minus twenty

1140
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: one on the road at South Carolina. I think there's

1141
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: a chance Georgia obliterates South Carolina this weekend, obliterates.

1142
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 2: Them now that JT. Daniels is operating. Yes, okay, I agree, Man,

1143
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't have good reason for South Carolina.

1144
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee minus ten against Vandy k State a five point

1145
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: dog on the road against Baylor, TCU minus twenty four

1146
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:33,000
Speaker 1: and a half against Kansas, Arizona plus eight and a

1147
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: half on the road at ECLA, Duke one point road

1148
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: favorite against Georgia Tech. And we've got Virginia minus nine

1149
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: against Florida State any Leans. Any of those games.

1150
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: TCU Kansas is fascinating because just for line reasons, not

1151
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 2: for football reasons, just because well, you know, like the

1152
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: old idiom like I knew John Smith, and you, sir,

1153
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 2: are no like I know, a twenty four and a

1154
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 2: half point favorite, and you TCU offense, oh, twenty four

1155
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: and a half point zo. I have no good reason

1156
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 2: for Kansas Kansas. I don't believe has covered a game

1157
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 2: this year, so I guess I'll go Frogs there. I

1158
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 2: like UCLA. I don't think Arizona is very good. I

1159
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 2: think that's more of a commentary on where USC might

1160
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 2: be that Arizona game was close. They got obliterated against Washington.

1161
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 2: I like Georgia Tech at home against Duke. I think

1162
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 2: they should be able to run pretty well. I like

1163
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Virginia as what nine point favorites against Florida State on

1164
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 2: the road. It's a nice matchup. They should be able

1165
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 2: to move the ball relatively easily against Florida State. I

1166
01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: actually like ken Sealsasuzu and the Vanderbilt commodorees here against Tennessee.

1167
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Really right, Yeah, I think Tennessee's pack it up, pack

1168
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 1: it in. I think a little bit. I think.

1169
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 2: I mean there are elements of Tennessee. I think offensively,

1170
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee really is making an effort. I think they're making

1171
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: somewhat of an effort. I don't think they're packing up,

1172
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,600
Speaker 2: pack it in. I take it fully back. I just

1173
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: think Vanderbilt is good enough to cover ten points against

1174
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 2: a team that has lost five straight games decisively.

1175
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: No interesting.

1176
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 2: I like Baylor against Kansas State. You get shut out,

1177
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 2: you lose by forty five points. Yes, I will allow

1178
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 2: you to lose by five or more.

1179
01:03:17,800 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: That requires Baylor to score five points though, which may

1180
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: not be come on, may not be a given.

1181
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I'm taking Baylor there, and whatever the status

1182
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 2: is of Utah Arizona State, I guess I'll take Arizona State.

1183
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: Is there an un actual line for that game?

1184
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a line play. If I understand correctly,

1185
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: they're planning on playing this one on Sunday and actually

1186
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: a line is out. A line is out ASU minus

1187
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:49,400
Speaker 1: three and a half. Yeah, I'll go as you there,

1188
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: all right?

1189
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like their running their JC situation at running back.

1190
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:55,480
Speaker 2: I like Jayden Daniels.

1191
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 1: And Uti.

1192
01:03:57,080 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 2: I think has a lot to figure out on offense themselves.

1193
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: Cam Rising left that game. He's promising the Texas transfer.

1194
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,160
Speaker 2: Jake Bentley didn't look all that good. Yeah, I'll take

1195
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 2: Asua if that game happens.

1196
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, I really like Georgia in this block. I

1197
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: like UCLA as well. Tom Eastern on Sunday two pm. Okay,

1198
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: I like I like UCLA as well. I like Georgia Tech.

1199
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: So a couple of games here. The Tennessee LAM might

1200
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 1: be a bridge too far. I'm not crazy about Vandy,

1201
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: but it'll be an interesting test case for pack it

1202
01:04:28,400 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Up packet in Tennessee where they're at.

1203
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I think that's all I have. I

1204
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 2: wish we could talk about the Colonial League or something.

1205
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: We got nothing. We can play the sound if you want,

1206
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: but we got nothing to follow it up with. Yeah,

1207
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: it's all I have. I'm excited for this week.

1208
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 2: Ty did you finally did you land on something cooking wise?

1209
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 2: For Thanksgiving, because you said Kate wasn't big on turkey,

1210
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 2: which is cool, not a lot of. I mean, if

1211
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 2: turkey were an exciting protein, people would be eating a

1212
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 2: year round, and they just don't.

1213
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I have tenderloin from Mama h that she cooked up

1214
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 1: and sent home with me.

1215
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 2: So what are you doing with it? Just putting on

1216
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 2: a plate with some gravy.

1217
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put her on a plate with some gravy.

1218
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: I've got some of the fixens that Mama each sent

1219
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: home with me, and I've got like two pumpkin pies,

1220
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 1: two pumpkin pies which I was up to see her

1221
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: yesterday and you would be a ghast if you saw

1222
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: how much pumpkin pie e. But I think that's my

1223
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: plan for Thanksgiving. I'm not really cooking anything special.

1224
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,640
Speaker 2: I listened to it in every with mel Kiper. He

1225
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 2: does not eat a pumpkin pie every day, but he

1226
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 2: does go through he said, two to three regularly size

1227
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 2: pumpkin pies a week. Only eats the filling, not eat

1228
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 2: the crust, only eats the filling, and goes through so

1229
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 2: much whipped cream that apparently, but I think it might

1230
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 2: be the low fat whipped cream. Right, I'm not positive,

1231
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:57,959
Speaker 2: but he's multi buying, like more than four cans a week.

1232
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:01,280
Speaker 1: Wow at the grocery store. Is he buying pre made

1233
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: pumpkin pies or is he making them?

1234
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 2: He's pre made? He would never get anything done. How

1235
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 2: would he be able to say Jimmy Clausen is going

1236
01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 2: to be a number four pick if he were always

1237
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 2: mashing up potato pure pumpkin Pierre?

1238
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Excuse? Can we get Kiper on the show just to

1239
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: talk about pumpkin pie?

1240
01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,919
Speaker 2: Sure, I'm sure we'll have him around draft time.

1241
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: I got questions that we need to ask as a

1242
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: fellow official.

1243
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 2: Extra nut meg?

1244

Speaker 1: Yeah you think?

1245
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 2: Do you think he's taking fresh nut meg and zesting

1246
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 2: it over? That'd be greats like seventeen zest poles scrapes.

1247
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: So are you doing, dude, whip cream? Do you do

1248

1266
01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: matter of how much mile did we get out of

1267
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: the pumpkin pie? Because she's gonna want something I'm not

1268

Speaker 1: gonna want to share. That's gonna be a problem, that's

1269
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a stress. Like you said, you have multiple pies.

1270
01:07:38,480 --> 01:07:41,439
Speaker 1: I know, but that's that's probably why when we ahe
