Speaker 2: You know the season we you know, we start previewing July,

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,360

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 2: made it. It. Look how far we've come. We took

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: the long way we did, but we knew we'd get

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: here someday. And all the doubters, all the doubters said,

00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 2: H Yeah, correct.

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: I wanted you to go through the full thing just

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: so everybody could hear. Yeah, the artistry that is Shania Twain.

28
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,040

00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:34,280

Speaker 1: So yes, it's a season is over. It's it's been

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,199
Speaker 1: a season. It was a lot of fun this year.

32
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Of course we added the two's cruise, which made it

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more labor intensive on our end, but

34
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: nonetheless still a lot of fun. And here we are.

35
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: So what we're doing today. We do have some news

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: to get through. There were a few awards that were

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: handed out in the last few days. There's also some

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: coaching news which you're going to touch base one and

39
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: then we're going to dive into Bowl Confidence Pool season.

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of exciting things going on on

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: that front. So why don't we start at the very

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,399
Speaker 1: top with our pregnant.

43
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Boo.

44
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: We have a Heisman Trophy winner. It is not exactly

45
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: a huge surprise if you were following college football at

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: all this season, especially the latter half of the season,

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: but congratulations to our boy, Joe Dirt Joe Burrow a

48
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: record setter. Now he wins the Heisman Trophy. He earned

49
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: the highest margin of victory ever in the bouting, the

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: most first place votes ever. He shatters the previous mark

51
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: back in nineteen sixty eight when OJ Simpson won by

52
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: a margin of seventeen hundred and fifty points. Joe Burrow

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: won by eighteen hundred and forty six. There was no

54
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: doubt he was going to be the one that one.

55
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: Good for him, you know, he makes the move over

56
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: from Ohio State, takes a chance on LSU, got the

57
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: gig last year, really zoomed into a different stratosphere during

58
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season. Is going to go very highly

59
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: in the draft. It's been a great story from start

60
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: to finish, and it's not finished yet. He still could

61
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: have two games left, yes, and a really heartfelt speech.

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I thought in watching what Joe Burrow had to say

63
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: about his season and his path and where he comes from.

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: And I think he called it Southeast Ohio at the

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: Athens area. So very cool to see.

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: I saw somebody post, somebody that works in college football

67
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: recruiting that they posted a DM he sent. I'm like

68
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: two thousand and eleven or twenty thirteen saying I'm not

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: really just I'm not getting that much traction. What camps

70
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: should I be going to? And just to see where

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: he came from and where he has evolved into it's

72
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: pretty crazy and well earned, well deserved, absolutely, so congratulations

73
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: to him. Congratulations to the other three finalists as well.

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields and Chase Young all deserve much

75
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: praise as well for wonderful seasons and none of their

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: stories are over yet because they're all in the college

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: football playoffs, which we are going to preview.

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,600

Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor was able to take it without being a

84
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: Heisman finalist who could have even imagined the best running back.

85
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: The Bolitnikoff goes to Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow's best receiver

86

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't you know, there were there were some down moments,

93
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: but still at his best is an incredible safety. Uh

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Tyler Battish. I hope I pronounced that correctly. Best center,

95
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: the Rimington the Outland went to official left tackle of

96
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: the solid verbal Penay Sewel at Oregon. Sure that was

Speaker 2: a hotly contested one. The Louke Groza for best kicker,

Speaker 2: for foot. So a lot of well earned awards for

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: those guys. And if we want to talk about coaching stuff,

103
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: if I don't know, sure the carousel sounds I have

104
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: it here? You go, Okay, you're so quick, get the roar,

105
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: in there there would go hard. Yeah, it's difficult for

106
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: me to remember exactly what we touched on. Did We

107
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 2: mentioned the Chip Long thing Notre Dame.

108
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: We mentioned that Chip Long and Notre Dame had mutually

109
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: parted ways.

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 2: He was thought of to be a Memphis candidate, I

111
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: believe from his time obviously coaching there, But Memphis has

112
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: named They've taken the interim tag off of Ryan Silverfield

113
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 2: is the new head coach of Memphis. Ron Duggins, I believe,

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 2: is how you pronounced wide receiver coach Florida State. He

115
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: is being retained at Florida State by Mike Norvell and

116
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: his staff. Blake Gideon, you remember that name. I do.

117
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: Blake Gideon, I think well regarded, young up and coming coach.

118
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: He was obviously a safety at Texas. He is joining

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin's staff. Zach Hill has been hired away from

120
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: Boise State. Their offensive coordinator is joining herm Edwards in

121
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 2: that same position at Arizona State. Jeff Haffley is the

122
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: new head coach at Boston College. I saw that he

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: is the co defensive coordinator and secondary coach. Incredibly well regarded.

124
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: He was with the forty nine ers a couple of

125
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: years before that for Ohio State, and he takes over

126
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: at Boston College. Has a long career, actually not a

127
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: short career, but an impressive one in the Northeast especially,

128
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: but has NFL experienced. Marcus Arroyo, the offensive coordinator at Oregon,

129
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: has been hired by UNLV. We'll still coach in the

130
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl, but it's it's a nice hire. I think

131
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I had my problems with the Oregon offense. I don't

132
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: think they fully fall on him. He's known to be

133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: a pretty great recruiter and I think he's a People

134
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: seem to like him, so hopefully he succeeds at UNLV.

135
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Took place that's tough to win. Matt Luke to Georgia,

136
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: the ole Miss coach, will be making nine hundred thousand

137
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: dollars to coach the Georgia offensive line. He maybe also

138
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: be an associate head coach for the Dogs. Tracy Clays

139
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: who you remember from his time most recently at Washington

140
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: State as defensive coordinator. Before stepping down, he was at

141
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota as an interim and then head coach. He has

142
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: joined Virginia Tech as a linebackers coach. Okay, so there's

143
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: that so putting together a nice post Bud Foster staff

144
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: On that defense, Barry Odom looks like he will be

145
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: joining the Arkansas staff for Sam.

146
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Pittman defensive coordinator.

147
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: As a defensive coordinator in Barry Odom is a stud

148
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: of a defense.

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: He's a really good defensive coordinator and that that should

150
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: be music to Arkansas fans' ears because defense has been

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: a bit of a liability to say the least.

152
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin has hired away the UCF offensive coordinator, Jeff Leby,

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: and he's bringing over his strength coach with him as

154
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: well from fau Wilson Love to ole Miss. Outside of that,

155
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if do we mention Eli

156
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 2: Drinkwitz to Miszoo.

157
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned that on the last show. I

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: was just going to throw in one final tidbit that

159
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: the one and only Tommy Reese will be calling plays

160
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame in the camping world.

161
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: Tom Tom, can you really make an adjustment post playing

162
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 2: to your first name?

163
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, He's still Tommy to me. I

164
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: know if he gets the gig, we can resurrect the

165
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: resis sound no pun intended, but he's a young guy.

166
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: So he's been in the Notre Dame program for a

167
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: while now, he's well thought of in the coaching ranks.

168
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: He's going to get chanced a big job though. Man,

169
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: he's never called plays before. We'll see he is the

170
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: son of a coach. We've heard that a thousand times.

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: We'll see how he does in that Bowl game and

172
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: we'll see where Notre Dame decides to go longer term.

173
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: But if you hear his name and you wonder what's

174
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 1: going on. Because Chip Long is no longer with the team,

175
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: Tommy Reese is going to get his crack at call

176
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: in some plays.

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: That's too big a job for him though to take

178
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: full time, right, I don't know. I don't know.

179
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: We could talk about that at some other point in time.

180
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Any other news that we need to discuss here anything.

181
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: Finally, Nick Saban is out and about recruiting because signing

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: day is in like three days. So we'll discuss signing

183
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 2: day as we get into more Bowl previews. And you know,

184
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 2: it's the early signing day, but it's kind of the

185
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: real signing day with some stragglers in February. So yep,

186
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens.

187
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: So here is the way that this works. First and foremost.

188
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: If you haven't subscribed to the show yet, please do so.

189
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: Anywhere you get your podcasts you can find the Solid Verbal.

190
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: You can also follow us across all of our social

191
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: media channels. There's also a subreddit at soliverbal dot reddit

192
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: dot com, where our boy Peter recently posted that I, yes,

193
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 1: yours truly won the Fantasy Things conceiations. Thank you. I

194
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: owe it to God in the troops as I always do.

195
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: Do you get on like eye slide sandals as part

196
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: of a congratulatory gift suite experience.

197
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: It's a very natural tie in that you did there.

198
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: That is a professional tie into what we are doing today.

199
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: Is it not? I try a little segue.

200
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Interesting, Yeah, Today we are embarking upon our five part

201
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Bowl preview. So there are a bunch of games to discuss.

202
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 1: There are forty one that if you go on out

203
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: to your Bowl confidence pool you have a chance to select.

204
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: There are forty Bowl games and then the forty first

205
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: is obviously the national Championship. What we have done is

206
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: set up our confidence pool. You can go to solid

207
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: verbal dot com slash pick them, or you can just

208
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: go to our website and at the very top and

209
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: the yellow banner, you'll see a link where you can

210
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: click through and you can sign up for the pool.

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: The way that this works is you pick winners, and

212
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: then after you pick the winners, you assign confidence points

213
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: to each of those winners. So, for example, if you

214
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: are very very comfortable with selecting Notre Dame over Iowa

215
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: State and you are the most confident in that game,

216
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: put forty one points on it. The least confident game

217
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: that you pick, you put one point on. Very simple,

218
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: you just rank them from forty one on down in

219
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: terms of your confidence. Now, this year, what we have

220
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: done is we have up the ante a little bit.

221
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 2: Ooh.

222
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: Our friends over at Rollback are throwing in some gift

223
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: cards to the top three.

224
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: Wow. I like that.

225
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: Finishers in the Bowl pool you can get in I

226
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: think twice. I've got a cap on twice. You can

227
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: enter two if you one. But going out to cliverble

228
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: dot com slash pick them. We do this every year.

229
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: We're going to be previewing these games in waves. It

230
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: dawned to me that despite we knew we were gonna

231
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: be doing the show for a while, I don't actually

232
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: have a Bowl confidence pool. Or bowl, pool, bowl anything sound,

233
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: which meant I just I picked two randomly off the

234
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: shelf that we could go with. Now, okay, we're gonna

235
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: have to play December to Remember at some point, because

236
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: of course that's sort of our unofficial theme for the

237
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: month of December. But I have two here. You can

238
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: tell me which one you prefer. Here's a orderlinerot again ironic.

239
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: Orderline erotica.

240
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: So that's the old Brett Beelama sound, and it is

241
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: labeled here in our file as borderline erotic dash no

242
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: turkey because there used to be a gobble at the end,

243
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: and at some point or another I must have chopped

244
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: the turkey portion off it so we could it was for.

245
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: November, and you that's just dumb, dumb decision by on

246
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: your part.

247
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: The other one here, and I have no idea why

248
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: I have this sound, but I believe this is a

249
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 1: book It commercial from nineteen ninety two. Book It is

250
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: a reading incentive program that encourages young people to read,

251
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: support your children's It's like a full forty five second clip.

252
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say we'd still gone here.

253
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't know which one we want to

254
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: assign to this specific Bowl previous show, but this is

255
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: Bowl Previews Show number one. We're going to be previewing

256
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: games from the Celebration Bowl on the twentieth of December

257
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: all the way through the Quick Laying Bowl on December

258
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: twenty sixth. So this is our biggest batch of games

259
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: that will be previewing at once. As I said, we've

260
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: got a couple of these that are forthcoming, but we're

261
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: going to jump right out of the shoot here talking

262
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: about a dozen games or so.

263
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: Dan, I think we should just hop in the bull barge,

264
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: the bull boat, the bull boat, keep it nautically themed

265
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: all the way through. Just commit to the bit. If

266
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: that is the is that that's the general theme of

267
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 2: our twenty nineteen season. I think we just commit to

268
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 2: the nautical bit all the way through.

269
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: We can do that, Okay, Okay. So I have a

270
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: couple rules that I like to follow in confidence pools. Okay,

271
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I have a bit of a formula, and I know

272
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: you do too, But let me tell you my three

273
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: rules when it comes to picking these things.

274
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that you call it a formula, and

275
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 2: it's completely subjective, completely subjective. Yeah.

276
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: The first rule is what I call the East Coast

277
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: Elliott Rule East Coast Elliott, formerly a fixture on the show.

278
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: Not sure if Elliott still listens. Definitely still live, Definitely

279
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: still a wild card. Yeah, but not as big a

280
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: part of the show as he used to be anyway.

281
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Great dude, mediocre speller, medio, very mediocre speller.

282
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 2: That is correct. Yeah, but my.

283
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: Friend Elliott has long had this theory that I have

284
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: adopted as my own, and his theory is that in

285
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: confidence pools you should load up on your points early.

286
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: I like that, all right. So by default, if you

287
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: go in there soliverbo dot com slash pick them and

288
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: you sign up, you're going to see that the system

289
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: will number the early games with your least amount of

290
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: confidence and the later games with your most amount of confidence.

291
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: It basically just numbers them in chronological order from one

292
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: to forty one. All I'm saying is to reverse that,

293
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: or at least most of that. People don't know as

294
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: much about the teams in the earlier games, so they

295
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: tend to load up on the later games, which I've

296
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: always found to be more of a toss up. So

297
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is just reverse the curse. Put a

298
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: lot of your points early, try to front load it.

299
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Get them early, especially if you're in a smaller confidence pool.

300
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: The one we're doing is going to have a couple

301
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: thousand entries, But if you're in like an office pool

302
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: or you've got thirty people, load up on your points early,

303
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: get them early. Try to get as many points as

304
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: you can before December the twenty sixth.

305
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, do your own version of cheesing. Do your own

306
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: version of fantasy baseball, loading up on closers where you

307
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: just like have a strategy and you stick to it. Yeah,

308
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 2: committing to the bit. Get your points early. So that's

309
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: the first rule.

310
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: The second is if a team lost its coach, pick

311
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: the opponent. Okay, not in every case, but consider it.

312
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: Consider it if there's a monster injury. We've got this

313
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: newer thing now last couple of years where guys are

314
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: skipping their bowl games. Don't know if that's gonna happen,

315
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: but if it does, consider that as well.

316
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: We've seen some cam Akers has decided to sit out

317
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: the Florida State Bowl Game. So yeah, so there's some

318
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: big names that are sitting out.

319
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: Can consider that. And then the third thing is just

320
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: in general, pick the team that wants it more. Unless

321
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: it's a total mismatch, and that's an important qualifier that

322
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: pertains to my perdew Auburn situation from a here gootyright,

323
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: I read too much into that. But this won't come

324
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: as much into play this wave, but definitely as we

325
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: get into more Power five games, I think it's going

326
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: to be more of a factor. Those are my only

327
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: three rules.

328
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I generally I like the early games being worth

329
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 2: more in the confidence pool. I have not signed up

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 2: and addressed my confidence numbers, so I'll do that the

331
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: next show. But I mean I have game picks and

332
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 2: stuff like that, and so I am ready to roll upon. Well,

333
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 2: we should also mention Navy murdered Army.

334
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: They actually did. You just got thirty one to seven.

335
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was closerly, but nyve just putting an exclamation

336
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 2: point on a pretty remarkable comeback season after a down

337
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. And I know it was Malcolm Perry rushed

338
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 2: for over three hundred yards, set records for the midshipman

339
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,479
Speaker 2: and you know, I know you like to take those points,

340
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: but it was it was a hell of a second half,

341
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 2: especially for Navy.

342
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: Let's start at the top. December the twentieth. It's on ABC.

343
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: It is North Carolina A and T at eight and three.

344
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: It is al Korn State at nine and three. They

345
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: call this one the Celebration Bowl. It's a wonderful tradition. Yeah,

346
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: North Carolina A and T is a two and a

347
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: half point favorite here, Dan, So what I said at

348
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: the top about putting a ton of points on some

349
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: of these early games, I'm not gonna put forty one

350
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: on this, but I'm gonna put thirty five. Well, I'm

351
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: gonna put it on North Carolina A and T.

352
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, there are more balanced team. I just read up

353
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: a little bit, watched a couple of clips. I'm going

354
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 2: with the the Aggies over the braves here.

355
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: It is the fourth straight time that North Carolina A

356
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: and T has been in this game, so they've got

357
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: some familiarity with it. They've got a great rushing attack,

358
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 1: a good defense. Okay, thirty five points, go hard or

359
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: go home. Let's just get it, get it out there,

360
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: let's get our thirty five points. Let's survive in advance.

361
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: This is the full testament to your our theory. Because

362
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: I don't believe you've watched, because I haven't a single

363
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: second of North Carolina A and T thirty five points.

364
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: Is faith in the formula.

365
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: I did a lot faith in the formula, that's right.

366
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 1: I did a lot of research.

367
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: On this game.

368
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: Actually, okay, great, more so than I could put in

369
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: the words. I did a lot of research on it.

370
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about ant.

371
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 2: Next bowl game.

372
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: The makers wanted Bahamas Bowl Dan, Yes, what is makers wanted? Oh?

373
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: I can google it though.

374
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: I believe it's a type of liqueur, isn't it.

375
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, there's makers mark.

376
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: I believe it's a type of the core a liqueur.

377
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: As opposed to a liquor. Makers wanted is Uh? We

378
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: probably do this every year. Is it the Is it

379
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: a business park in Illinois? Oh?

380
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: I think it is a business park in Illinois. Sponsoring

381
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: a bowl game in the Bahamas.

382
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I think we discussed this every year. I'm looking

383
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: at a but yes, the Bahamas Bowl is in Nasau.

384
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: Why did I think it was liquor?

385
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 2: I think you got the makers mark part of.

386
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: It makers wanted? Okay.

387
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Elk Grove Village is a village located in northeastern Illinois,

388
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: adjacent to O'Hare International. The village, as part of its

389
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 2: quote makers wanted campaign announced they will be taking over

390
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: its naming rights sponsorship of the Bahamas Bowl. How do

391
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 2: they want It? Is like the slogan, it's the tagline.

392
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: How did they have the coin to sponsor the Bahamas Bowl?

393
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: I just don't think it costs that much. I just

394
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: don't believe it does.

395
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 1: This one is also on December the twentieth. It's on ESPN.

396
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo. The Bulls are seven and five and a

397
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: six and a half point favorite over Charlotte. Yeah, Charlotte

398
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: is also seven and five. Now, both teams had much

399
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: better second halves of their season. Charlotte's actually on a

400
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: five game winning streak coming into the Bahamas Bowl. This

401
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 1: is one of those games where I think both teams

402
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: want it. I can't look at this game and say, oh, well,

403
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: there's one team where this game means way more to them. No,

404
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: I think both want it. It is worth noting that

405
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: Will Healey didn't he announce this bullbit wearing a bunch

406
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: of scuba gear.

407
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: Yes, and he also just got a contract extension, So

408
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 2: it's good time to be Will Healey and the Charlotte

409
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: forty nine ers.

410
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: He's an up and coming coach. They've got a really

411
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: good offense, and they're especially good on the ground. My

412
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: issue with taking Charlotte here is that Buffalo is just

413
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: so much better on defense. They're so good on defense. Yeah,

414
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: and that, to me, I think is probably the biggest difference.

415
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: So I went back and forth here. I'm not going

416
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: to go crazy with like forty points on Buffalo, but

417
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: I think I go Buffalo outright thirty confidence points. If

418
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: I were a betting man, I'd probably bet on Charlotte.

419
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: But wow, Buffalo outright thirty confidence points. Yeah, it's a

420
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: high level confidence for me. And you're right, Buffalo has

421
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: the impressive defense in this game. They have a duo

422
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: of thousand yard rushers. Finished the season winning five of sex,

423
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: five of sex, five of six.

424
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 2: Oh ty, where's my mind? They beat Temple, they beat

425
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: Central Michigan. These are quality enough teams, and the Charlotte

426
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: forty nine or defense, which as part of a really

427
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: fun story this year, still pretty rough. That defense, especially

428
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 2: against the run. So it's a bad matchup. But they

429
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: beat Marshall after losing four straight, and we talked about

430
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 2: the way both of these teams finish out the year.

431
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: Chris Reynolds is a fun dual threat at quarterback for

432
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers and Alex Highsmith, former walk on

433
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: to Charlotte and has had an incredible season as an

434
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: edge rusher and is a draft prospect. But I have

435
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 2: Buffalo winning this by about ten points, and it should

436
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 2: be noted. Yeah, there is a gift suite for the

437
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: players in this game. I mean gifts includes board shorts,

438
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: a Yetti rambler, which I really do like my Yeddi Rambler,

439
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 2: which was a Bowld gift for us. You get a towel,

440
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: you get a pine a string backpack I think from

441
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which appears to be a Bowl

442
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: sponsor of another game.

443
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: Wait, they're sponsoring the next Bowl game.

444
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 2: I know, but I'm seeing on the list Tropical Smoothie Cafe,

445
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: string backpack.

446
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: Why doesn't Tropical Smoothie sponsor the Bahamas Bowl?

447
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 2: It feels like a better fit. It does.

448
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Tropical Smoothie is doing the Frisco Bowl, which we're going

449
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: to talk about next. M hm. Could they just not

450
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: outbid makers wanted?

451
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 2: Sometimes you have contracts where you just you know, you

452
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: got to wait your turn.

453
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: If they switch places, it would make perfect sense for both.

454
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: But who am I happens?

455
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: Who am I?

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: All right?

457
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: Just alowly podcaster we go, we both got buffalo to

458
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: the tune of many confidence points.

459
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: Correct, Let's go to.

460
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: The Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl. I hear ads for

461
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: this place, actually, now that I think about it on

462
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: Serious XM. One of those deals that they're trying to

463
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: get you to buy into the franchise. Oh so full

464
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: on store ads, full on ads here. This one is

465
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: also on December of the twentieth. It's on ESPN. Two

466
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: is Utah State at seven and five. It is Kent

467
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: State at six and six. Utah States a seven point favorite.

468
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: And I think the notable tidbit is that Jordan Love,

469
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: the star quarterback for the Utah State Aggies. We talked

470
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: about him on I don't Know a show a week

471
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: and a half ago, how he's probably going to enter

472
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: the transfer portal. Nope, he is going to go pro instead,

473
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: So he's not in the transfer portal. He's going pro.

474
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: He is playing in this game, which tells me that

475
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: he is hungry to prove himself for any pro scouts

476
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: that might be watching. He's a big kid, he's a

477
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: good quarterback and I like Utah State a lot here

478
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: because of that, I think he's got something to prove.

479
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: Kent State.

480
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: Good on them.

481
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: It's only their fourth ever bowl game. They've never won

482
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: a bowl game, so they will be hungry here. I

483
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: don't think this is a motivational type thing, but I

484
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: take Jordan Love. I take his pro prospects in him

485
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: wanting to eat in this bowl game. Gimme Utah State

486
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: and thirty nine confidence points.

487
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Utah State is who I am rolling with as well.

488
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 2: They finished the season winning three oh four. It was

489
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 2: a tough transition with Gary Anderson returning, but they still

490
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: beat San Diego State and Wyoming, which are totally decent wins.

491
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: It feels weird to say because Jordan Love showed so

492
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 2: much last season. This was a below average offense and

493
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: a below average defense, especially up front, So I'm not

494
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: crazy confident in Utah State in the Aggies. But Ken

495
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: State tight wins over Buffalo and Ball State. They played,

496
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,120
Speaker 2: they had a trio of crazy I think it was Auburn, Wisconsin,

497
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: and Arizona State. Their defense is pretty bad, so I

498
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go with the quarterback edge here, So yeah,

499
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Utah State maybe in the twenties,

500
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: confidence Wise and TI so we agree. Gift suite includes

501
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: a Justin cowboy hat. Should you know this is Frisco,

502
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: Texas and also the home of the FCS Championship game.

503
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: You gotta get a football. You get a college Football

504
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and fiftieth anniversary coin, a lapel pin, a beanie,

505
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 2: and something called a Blingwear cup. I looked up Blingwear

506
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: and I was like, Oh, this is a It feels

507
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: like a really good idea for you know, drinking glasses

508
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: and stuff like that. Maybe they all look like little

509
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 2: trophies like a mini Stanley cup you can drink your

510
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: coffee out of. Yeah, what a smart thing. It's just

511
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 2: cups that fix a ring like a championship ring to them,

512
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 2: so you could like hold the cup by the ring.

513
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: Opportunity like a ring pop, but only for cups. So

514
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 2: you can imagine a handle on a mug.

515
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: Right right, like brass attached to a mug.

516
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: Imagine a very small championship like a championship ring used

517
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 2: as the handle, so you can only fit a finger

518
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: in there to use as a finger or a handle.

519
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: So that's what you're getting if you are a Utah

520
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 2: State or ken State player in the Frisco Ball.

521
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: So there there is a company that makes just those

522
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: cups and that's the business.

523
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 2: Sing where Tropical Smoothie Cafe did some digging while you

524
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: were previewing your side of this game. Yeah, and you

525
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: think to yourself, a Smoothie Cafe. That must be man,

526
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: You're just you're watching your figure. You know, you want

527
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 2: to get some vegetables and some fruits and some super

528
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 2: foods into your diet. There's a lot of bacon on

529
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 2: the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Really club sandwiches, yes, breakfast burritos.

530
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Okay, so they're really.

531
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: Something for everybody, I suppose at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

532
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if this podcast thing doesn't work out, we

533
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: could get a franchise.

534
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 2: That's true.

535
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: I know a guy, I know a number. I hear

536
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: it all the time. All right, now, what's going on

537
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: Utah State? Right? We then we go to the New

538
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: Mexico Bowl. This Bowl doesn't have a sponsor, does it.

539
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: No? Not, No longer do they have a sponsor after

540
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: what they went through.

541
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: So December twenty first, this one is the day after

542
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 1: It's on ESPN at San Diego State at nine and three.

543
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: It is Central Michigan at eight and five. The Astechs

544
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: are a three and a half point favorite here. Now

545
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: you know my stance in San Diego State. I like

546
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: them more than you. Every year they're like my Stanford.

547
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: This year is no different. Like always, They're really good

548
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: on defense. The metrics view their defense as a top

549
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: twenty unit on a per play basis, which is notable.

550
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: The most anyone has scored on them all year was

551
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: twenty three points, and that was a close loss to

552
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: Utah State. The problem is that the offense does legitimately stink.

553
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: It's real bad. One of the great half teams this

554
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: season is San Diego State, but the defense is just

555
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: so high level that I question how Central Michigan gets

556
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: any forward tractions. So I think it's low scoring. I

557
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to touch the point spread, but I like

558
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: San Diego State. They have done well by me in

559
00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: past bowl seasons. So thirty eight points on the app,

560
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm committing to the bit.

561
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 2: WHOA, I like that. I like that confidence. Yeah, you're

562
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: right about San Diego State. Another year where it appears

563
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: that Rocky Long exclusively recruits defensive players. They're great and

564
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 2: the mean. The ones who get beat out are just

565
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 2: assigned offense. It's a bunch of linebackers on the offensive line,

566
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: and they obviously with Rashad Penny and Don L. Pumphrey,

567
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: have recruited running backs pretty well. Jawan Washington, They're starting

568
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 2: running back is questionable. In this game. San Diego State

569
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: beat a decent enough BYU team Wyoming and Ucla, which

570
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: is an impressive thing to do for San Diego State.

571
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 2: They can really offensively, only they get some underneath passing going.

572
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 2: It's not a great watch. But Central Michigan they finished

573
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: the year strong. They win three of four and it's

574
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: an improved year. Still a ways to go. And when

575
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 2: you deep dive some of these seasons for the early

576
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: Bowl games, you see a lot of Okay, let's see

577
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: what type of S and P or SP plus teams

578
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 2: they beat number one twenty seven, number one twenty nine,

579
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 2: number one twenty three, number one nineteen, So building that

580
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: sort of resumes, I guess the first step for Central Michigan,

581
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: Quentin Dormandy, you'll remember from his time at Tennessee and

582
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: brief stopover at Houston, is their starting quarterback. A very

583
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 2: strong HAVOCD. They force fumbles, they get after the quarterback

584
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 2: tackles for loss. Good against the run. I like Central

585
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: Michigan and I like their story, but I have seventeen

586
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: thirteen San Diego State.

587
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: It feels right.

588
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 2: This one that feels right. Yeah, I believe San Diego

589
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 2: State also lost a game fourteen to eleven. If you're a.

590
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: Stated scores, I love that eleven score one you.

591
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: And the New Mexico Bowl is giving away Oakley Wholebrook sunglasses.

592
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: There is a gift suite, an Oakley gearbox, backpack, a beanie,

593
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 2: and a water bottle. Okay, hydrate, everybody, hydrate. So decent enough.

594
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: Also on December twenty, first the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl

595
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: h CBS Sports Network. It's Georgia Southern at seven and five.

596
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: It is Liberty at seven and five. Georgia Southern is

597
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: a five point favorite. They are undefeated in bowl games

598
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: since joining the FBS ranks. I guess they're two to zeroe.

599
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: A whole lot to pull from there, but they're an

600
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: option team and an option team, frankly, is a really

601
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: bad matchup for Liberty, which is awful against the run

602
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: as defensive unit. I like Liberty's passing game very solid,

603
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: been solid all year. The Georgia Southern secondary also leaves

604
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired, but I think I like

605
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 1: that matchup of the Southern option against the Liberty lack

606
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: of a run defense option more than I like anything

607
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: else here. So Georgia Southern thirty seven points, let's do it.

608
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 2: Wow. Impressive season for Georgia Southern. They won six of

609
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: eight to finish out the year, including beating app State

610
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: in boone on ESPN Big Game. They pushed Minnesota early,

611
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 2: as you'll remember. I think they lose that one by

612
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: They lost that by a couple points. The quarterback is

613
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: Shy Wertz, who has been around for a little bit,

614
00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: and they run a really fun it's like a shotgun

615
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 2: option type look, so not your traditional under center. Maybe

616
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: it's a shoption, sure whatever. They defend the run pretty well,

617
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: not so much against the pass. I like that Liberty

618
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 2: has at least a little bit of time to prepare

619
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: for a different type of offense. Liberty sort of limped

620
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: to the finish. They did beat Buffalo. The rest of

621
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: their schedule sort of fluff. I know they played two

622
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 2: FCS teams. I believe they run the ball. Well, you

623
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: mentioned the passing game, Antonio Gandy Golden really good fun watch,

624
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: big receiver setting records. I actually have Liberty winning this

625
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: game real. I think their defense is a little bit better,

626
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: So I'm going to go with Liberty. I have at

627
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 2: thirty to twenty four taking down the Cure Ball.

628
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: What's our gift situation here?

629
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: Orlando is the home of the Cure Bowl, and I

630
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 2: believe of FBC mortgage. So you'll be walking away with

631
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: a watch, a Bluetooth backpack, a Bluetooth Bluetooth backpack, backpack,

632
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what that means. Wow, a warm up

633
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: jacket and pants, a sport tech long sleeve T shirt,

634
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: a midfit structured hat, and pebble beach slides.

635
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: Pebble beach slides.

636
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: Pebble beach slides.

637
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: Is that the new eye slide?

638
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you, but I can google pebble beach slides.

639
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 2: It's a sandal, Okay, that's what it appears to be.

640
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: A lot of competition in that sandals market.

641
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's true.

642
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: We disagree. Moving on this, go to the Cherubundi Boker

643
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: A toone Bowl. Dan h also on December twenty first

644
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: on ABC, it is SMU at ten and two. It

645
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: is FAU at ten and three. SMU is a three

646
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: point favorite in this game, Daniel, So here we go,

647
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: Here we go. The metrics say that this game's about

648
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: as dead even as you were gonna get. But in

649
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: keeping with the theme here, if I want to fully

650
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: commit to the bit FA you lost Lin kiffinto ole Miss.

651
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: SMU was potentially going New Year's six not too long ago.

652
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: They've been a team we followed pretty closely all year long. Yeah,

653
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: I like FAU a lot here, and I really went

654
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: back and forth on which direction I wanted to go,

655
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: But the one thing I kept coming back to was

656
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: I just I feel like SMU is going to care

657
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I feel like they've got something

658
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: to prove, and they've been pretty solid all year.

659
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 2: Liked FAU a lot.

660
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: I like FA No. I like Here's what I'm saying.

661
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,439
Speaker 1: I like FAU a lot. I like their story. They've

662
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: had a good year. They have solid players, but they

663
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: lost their coach. They did, they lost their coach, and

664
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: so I'm going against them primarily because of that, and

665
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: also because I think SMU has more motivation to try

666
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: and prove something here. So let's go SMU. Not as

667
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: crazy as some of the other games that I've been picked,

668
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: but still thirty one confidence points and keeping with the bit.

669
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like SMU as well. I mean, the FAU

670
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 2: thing is interesting because they're playing in their home stadium.

671
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 2: Exactly is it's a road I guess it's a road favorite,

672
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 2: so it's a home dog that you are going against.

673
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: It was an uneven end to the season for SMU,

674
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: but they still finish ten and two. That's pretty great.

675
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: It's a big play offense. They were better through the air.

676
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 2: Xavier Jones was really good on the ground for them.

677
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: James proche was you know, continues to be a very

678
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,279
Speaker 2: good receiver. Patrick Nelson a total wrecking ball. And this

679
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 2: is one of the things that I like about having

680
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of time to catch up on games

681
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: that I didn't necessarily see and players I didn't necessarily

682
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 2: get a chance to watch. Patrick Nelson is incredible for SMU,

683
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: sort of a hybrid linebacker safety type, smaller linebacker, but

684
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: all over the place. This is a big time havoc

685
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: defense for the Mustangs. They will gamble and miss, give

686
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 2: up some big plays, but I really liked watching them

687
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 2: this season and FAU. They win ten of eleven to

688
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: finish out the season. Another big play offense, so that

689
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: could be a potential bad matchup for smu the best

690
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: turnover margin in the nation. Liked Fau's linebackers a lot

691
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 2: as I watched some clips of them, so I really

692
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,839
Speaker 2: wanted to take FAU. The coach thing hurts the fact

693
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: that they're not, you know, traveling and get a big

694
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 2: Bowl experience. I say thirty eight to thirty three smu

695
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: Here so maybe in the twenties confidence wise.

696
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: Lot of good players in this game, which made it

697
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: hard for me to pick and apply my little formula

698
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: because I really like what FAU has. But gonna go

699
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: smu Here thirty one points.

700
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 2: And this is what the Boca. I don't Hoca Ratone Bowl.

701
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 2: I don't have a gift situation for the Boca Ratone Bowl.

702
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: All the tart cherries you can eat from Cherubundie.

703
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 2: Yeah you can get a bunch of tart and cherry juice,

704
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: but I didn't see it listed here.

705
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: It's great for gout. Okay, moving on the Chamellee Bowl

706
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: December the twenty first, on ESPN, The Arkansas State red

707
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 1: Wolves at seven and five the FIU Golden Panthers. I

708
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:07,759
Speaker 1: believe at six and six. Arkansas State comes into this

709
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 1: one a two and a half point favorite. I went

710
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: back and forth here. I've only got ten points on this.

711
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: I have no idea who to pick. What I like

712
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 1: about FIU is that they've got a good secondary, and

713
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: it's their quarterbacks last game, so there's gonna be some motivation.

714
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: But I think otherwise they didn't really beat anybody this year,

715
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: like at all, and that's worrisome to me. I think

716
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: Arkansas State's probably the better team here, and I was

717
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 1: leaning in that direction. But quarterbacks, last game, good secondary,

718
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go FIU. I'm only gonna put ten confidence

719
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: points on it, though.

720
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's not bad. I understand where your head is

721
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: at Arkansas State wins four or five. They're a big

722
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 2: passing team. Their defense okay, kind of below average. Laine

723
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 2: Hatcher was a pretty promising fresh and a quarterback Omar

724
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 2: Bayless total stud for same time. Dude loved watching him.

725
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 2: He was the Sunbelt Offensive Player of the Year. I

726
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: think you're you're right on FYU. They beat up on

727
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 2: a bunch of bad teams. They ended the season in

728
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 2: a bit uneven fashion, but they beat Miami. I'm gonna

729
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: go Arkansas State here thirty one twenty Yeah, okay, I

730
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: get it. They're they're comfortably better. FIU is just weird

731
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 2: year and weird gift suite situation kind chamelliable as well.

732
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Okay, what do we got?

733
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 2: You got a fossil watch and ESPN branded Samsonite rolling

734
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 2: bag and beanie. Is that like a rolling backpack because

735
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like a rolling suitcase.

736
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 1: So I've got my rolling bag that we got from

737
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: one of our bull stops, right, and I use it

738
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: every time we go to a different bowl game. Yeah,

739
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: I use that thing religiously. You get used out of

740
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: it if it's like a rolling backpack or just free.

741
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: Luggage in general is always pretty stellar in these gift suites.

742
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 2: And then a football. Okay, that's it. Not bad.

743
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: The luggage is key there.

744
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: The luggages. Yeah, if you get used out of it.

745
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: Sure. Also on the twenty first, a big day of

746
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: bowl games, the mid Subishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl on ABC.

747
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,800
Speaker 1: It is Washington Huskies at seven and five. It is

748
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: the Boise State Broncos at twelve and one. Washington is

749
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: a three and a half point favored in the Chris

750
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: Peterson Bowl, which is effectively what this is dan a

751
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 1: close relative of a team losing its coach to another

752
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:45,439
Speaker 1: team is a successful coach randomly retiring and becoming an administrator. Yeah,

753
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: I didn't right the rules for this one, but it

754
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: feels like it also somehow applies here. I think because

755
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: of that, Washington's got a lot to play for. I

756
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 1: also think Washington may be demonstrably better than Boise State.

757
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: Like Boise State a lot here, but it feels to

758
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: me like Washington may be undervalued in this matchup a

759
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: three and a half point favorite. If I were a

760
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: betting man, I'd be inclined to lock up Washington, okay

761
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: and go all in on the Huskies here. I like

762
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: them a lot in the spot. I think Chris Peterson

763
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: final game, the whole nine yards thirty three points give

764
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: me the Huskies to win and win by about ten

765
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: to eleven points.

766
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 2: Do you think that there is a let's win this

767
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 2: for Coach Peterson elements in the Vegas Bowl, Like I understand,

768
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 2: if it's happening in the Rose Bowl, it's going out

769
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: on a high. Boise State is a very good team.

770
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: They did lose to BYU. I think that was with

771
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 2: Chase Kord starting at quarterback. It was not a Hank

772
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:53,560
Speaker 2: Bachmeyer or Jalen Henderson project. Sure, yeah, I think Boise

773
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: State is going to struggle with Washington's defense. I think

774
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Henderson will struggle throwing into the teeth of that defense.

775
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 2: I worry because I did watch that Oregon Boise State

776
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 2: Vegas Bowl. When it's happening during we have signing day

777
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: coming up. Coaching transition, Jimmy Lake probably has his hand

778
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,560
Speaker 2: in a bunch of different buckets trying to figure out

779
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: the next phase of Washington football. As Chris Peterson is

780
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: still trying to go out beat Boise State. I don't know.

781
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 2: I went back and forth. Boise State loses Zach Hill,

782
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator. He will not be coaching this game

783
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 2: as he takes over at Arizona State the same job.

784
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go with. I think I'm gonna

785
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: lean Washington still, I think they're gonna go out on

786
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 2: a high. I think they're going to even though they

787
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,560
Speaker 2: ended the season what losing at Colorado, and obviously they're

788
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: always gonna beat Washington State. But yeah, I think I'm

789
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna go with Washington here by a few points. I

790
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 2: just think there are probably too many ways for them

791
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: to win, and I don't think I fully trust Boise

792
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: State's offense.

793
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 1: The gift suite for the Vegas Bowl should be pretty

794
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: damn good.

795
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: It should.

796
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if it is, but it should.

797
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: Be socks of beanie and a portable charger or what

798
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: the gift suite at least include. Okay, Also, if you're

799
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: going to this game, if you're a Washington fan or

800
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:09,360
Speaker 2: a Boise fan, lotus of Siam great Thai food in Vegas,

801
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: off the strip. It's an actual you know, you're not

802
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 2: dealing with the glitz and glamour. I've heard really good

803
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: things about Well, I mean Poc Poc obviously, I've been to.

804
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: You can get Hattie Bees. If you're into hot chicken,

805
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: there's a Vegas location. If you want a nice Italian meal,

806
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 2: Carbone a location of the New York restaurant, you're gonna

807
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: eat very well in Vegas. That's it awesome.

808
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:36,479
Speaker 1: Twenty first, the RNL carriers New Orleans Bowl.

809
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

810
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: It's on ESPN. It is app state at twelve to one.

811
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: It is UAB the Blazers at nine and four. App

812
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: State is a healthy, a meaty, a voluptuous, seventeen point favorite.

813
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: Dan Yeah, no Eli Drinkwitz. Though, no Eli Drinkwitz. He's

814
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 1: off to Missouri. This is one of those situations where

815
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 1: I go against the formula because I think app State's like,

816
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:08,280
Speaker 1: way better here, way better. The UAB offense is capital

817
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: be bad. The app State defense is pretty good. They've

818
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 1: been solid all year. They've been solid all year every

819
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: year for the last like eight years. This point, I've

820
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: got forty points on app State. I don't think there's

821
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: any need to overthink it here. I would not lay

822
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 1: the seventeen points. That's a lot in bowl season when

823
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: things tend to get a little wonky. But in terms

824
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 1: of an outright victor, give me the Mountaineers, let's put

825
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: forty points on it.

826
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, the quarterback edge obviously goes to app State. I'm

827
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 2: gonna go with app State big here as well. UAB

828
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: just got demolished in the Conference USA championship game. FAU

829
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 2: just took them out. I think I'm gonna go app

830
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 2: State and yeah, couple here got it. What's their bull

831
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 2: gift situation here in the New Orleans was RNL Carriers. Yes,

832
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 2: it's I just see a gift suite that includes a

833
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: fossil watch. Okay, so there you go. Yeah, go to

834
00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 2: uh Koshan or Koshan Butcher, anywhere you go to eat

835
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: in New Orlean. It's gonna be great. It's just it's

836
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 2: a bummer that it's not happening during crawfish season.

837
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to December twenty third.

838
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 2: The bad boy meer is Gasparria bo.

839
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:24,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on ESPN. It is UCF at nine and three.

840
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: It is Marshall at eight and four. UCF is a

841
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: seventeen point favorite. Here. This is my big guy by

842
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: the way, this guy, oh, this is my forty one pointer.

843
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: You know. Like the Marshall defense isn't bad. It's not bad.

844
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: They only lost fourteen to seven to Boise back in

845
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: Week two, but that was a week after Boise knocked

846
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: off Florida State, So a bit of a letdown spot

847
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 1: for the Broncos, and just specifically with this matchup. Marshall

848
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 1: has not seen an offense like UCF, not even close, right,

849
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:05,279
Speaker 1: I think that offense overpowers Marshall. I don't think they

850
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: can score with UCF. Again, I look at seventeen normally

851
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: that puts me off. In bowl season, I think UCF

852
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: is three or four touchdowns better here. I like them big.

853
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: I like him to the tune of forty one confidence points.

854
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have had like forty four to twenty. I

855
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: think they should win comfortably. Under reported story. I mean,

856
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 2: UCF had a pretty good season. They finished nine to three,

857
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: but when they were rolling, especially at home in the

858
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: game is what the game's in Tampa, so not terribly

859
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: difficult to get to from Orlando. The defense for UCF

860
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: this year a great havoc d and on offense, Dylan

861
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 2: Gabriel is the name. Obviously, people have come to learn

862
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: over the course of the season. So the Dylan Gabriel

863
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: to Gabriel Davis Gabriel to Gabriel connection very strong and Marshall,

864
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 2: You're right it was. There are some impressive performances and

865
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 2: wins and losses from Thundering Herd. They finished the season

866
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: winning six of seven. Brendan knox Worth watching for the Herd,

867
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,760
Speaker 2: but ultimately UCF I think just too talented, too fast,

868
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 2: too all over the place.

869
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: I agree.

870
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 2: Also, the gasp Gift suite includes n slash A. No, really,

871
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 2: that's that's all I'm saying here.

872
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: Bad boy mowers?

873
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 2: Do you have a riding mower for year backyard?

874
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: I have a Toro push mower. Toro not a sponsor.

875
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 2: Do you feel like you would qualify, Like, are you

876
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 2: a bad boy mower or are you just kind of

877
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: a good guy mower?

878
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm prop well, I'm probably more of a good guy mower. Yeah,

879
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: a little too square to be a bad boy mower

880
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: type of guy.

881
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,359
Speaker 2: Are there bad boy mowers on your block? Like, I'm

882
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 2: not talking about the actual brand? Oh, we have out there.

883
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 1: There's a guy who lives Catty Corner for me who

884
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 1: exclusively mows his lawn at night with the headlight on

885
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: on his riding mower.

886
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: Oh wow, and.

887
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: The thing, the thing is actually quite impressive. It zips

888
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 1: around the yard at what feels like thirty miles an hour,

889
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: so he gets it done in no time. But he

890
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 1: only does it exclusively after let's say eight pm. Next game,

891
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 1: let's jump ahead to Christmas Eve. Dan, Okay, I'd love

892
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: to the Sofi Hawaii Bowl. They play it in Hawaii.

893
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: It features Hawaii. It is BYU at seven and five.

894
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: It is why at nine and five, BYU is a

895
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: point and a half favorite. Was looking a little bit

896
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: through BYU's resume. Dan, Yeah, what a weird year. Really

897
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: weird year, right, h I remember we were talking about

898
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: this team, like, uh, don't sleep on BYU. They beat Tennessee,

899
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: they beat usc they beat Boise State. Those are three

900
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: quality wins. Correct, Maybe not as quality as we thought

901
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 1: at the beginning part of the year. But nonetheless, they

902
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: also played and lost to Utah. They played and got

903
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: mauled by Washington. It was a hell of a stretch

904
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: for them, Yeah, in the early part of the season.

905
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: But still to go seven and five knowing that they

906
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: had that kind of AMMO on the schedule, I think

907
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 1: is is notable. This is obviously a home game for Hawaii, yes,

908
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,760
Speaker 1: but keep in mind that BYU has a strong tradition

909
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: pulling talent from the Pacific Islands, so maybe not quite

910
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 1: as big a home field advantage as you might think.

911
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: I think by is pretty good.

912
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: BYU is decent enough. Their defense I think is ahead

913
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 2: of their offense. They've had, you know, injury issues at

914
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 2: quarterback these past couple of years. Yeah, I'm gonna go

915
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 2: with BYU close here because they appear to be a

916
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 2: little bit more balanced, you know, even beating Utah State

917
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 2: and Liberty those are Bowl teams near the end of

918
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 2: the schedule. Hawaii finished the season winning for a five,

919
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: but their defense is the clear worst thing in this agreed,

920
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 2: and I like that Hawaii they beat at Oregon State

921
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: in Arizona early so they can their hangtime. I don't

922
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 2: know if you have the sound is pretty decent, so yeah,

923
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 2: I have by you winning this one close. Also a

924
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 2: recommendation would be if you're going to this game, I

925
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 2: don't have a specific restaurant, but try to find whoever

926
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: serves the best loco moco. Do you know what that is? Locomotive,

927
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 2: loco space mocho, no idea. Loco mocho is very popular

928
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 2: in Hawaii. So it's a plate of I guess, steamed rice.

929
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 2: There's lots of variations, but steamed rice and then a

930
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: hamburger patty and then gravy on top of that, and

931
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 2: then a Frida egg on top of that. Okay, So

932
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 2: if you go out and really you really enjoy some

933
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,840
Speaker 2: tiki bars or whatever you're doing, BYU fans, I'm guessing

934
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: won't be that hungover right, just a guess. But if

935
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:53,800
Speaker 2: you're going to this game you feel like some Loco Moco,

936
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 2: even if it's not a hangover here, I say go

937
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 2: for it. Loco Mocho delicious.

938
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,760
Speaker 1: I got twenty on BYU. I think it may also

939
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: be close.

940
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:07,319
Speaker 2: I would go lower twenties, higher teens, Okay, but we

941
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: agree yes. And gift wise the Hawaii Bowl, I'm seeing

942
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: Kahala Aloha shirt great needs sense, need that Oakley backpack

943
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: and sunglasses, performance tea, beach towel, and surf trunks. I

944
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,279
Speaker 2: think we've talked about this in years past. I am

945
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:27,959
Speaker 2: going to eventually be a Hawaiian shirts or at least

946
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 2: Hawaiian shirt adjacent type person. Sure in my fifties. Yeah,

947
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: I could see that. I could see that. Yeah.

948
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 1: Also, you get to go to Hawaii if you're in

949
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:41,759
Speaker 1: this two, which is pretty cool. Final two games here,

950
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to December the twenty six That is the

951
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 1: walk Ons Independence Bowl on ESPN. The Miami Hurricanes are

952
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,200
Speaker 1: six and six and a six and a half point

953
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 1: favorite over Louisiana Tech, which closed out the year at

954
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: nine and three. So I have two sets of numbers

955
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: that helped me figure out point spreads, and in both

956
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: cases it should be Miami by at least ten points.

957
00:51:12,960 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: The fact that it is down to six six and

958
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: a half is a little curious to me. Yeah, I

959
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 1: feel like the line is speaking to us here. And

960
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 1: the other thing that I would add is, I know

961
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: it's tempting to look at the records of the teams playing.

962
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: I think the records here are very misleading. Miami clearly

963
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: limped to the finish. They finished six and six on

964
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: the year, really died down the stretch and losing to

965
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 1: FIU and Duke and goodsecutive weeks. But the other games

966
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 1: they lost against Florida, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech.

967
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: We're all very close. If not for their collapse, this

968
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:54,479
Speaker 1: is probably an eight and four caliber team, all right,

969
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 1: And I know you could say that about a lot

970
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: of teams, but I just I feel like Miami is

971
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: better than that six and six mark. And on the

972
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech side, I think almost the exact opposite. This

973
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: is more like a seven and five team, and without

974
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: the offense that they've had in recent memory, I think

975
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: it's a struggle bus for them to move the ball

976
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: against still a really good Miami defense. So I like

977
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: the Canes here. I grappled with this one a lot,

978
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 1: but wow, gonna go Caines, gonna go thirty four confidence

979
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: points and I'm not gonna think twice about it. So

980
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: I'm going to take exception with a couple of points

981
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: you made about Miami. Okay, Uh, losing to Georgia Tech

982
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: close is not admirable.

983
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: Okay. Georgia Tech are full on not good this year.

984
00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 2: Fair one might even call them bad in one of

985
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Collins and I presume that they're going to improve,

986
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: but you shouldn't if you're Miami, even in your own

987
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 2: year one, you shouldn't be losing in this version of

988
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:51,479
Speaker 2: George Tech.

989
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

990
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 2: So there is a very six and six elements of

991
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 2: what Miami put forth onto the football field this season.

992
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 2: As good as their defense was and is and looked

993
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 2: at most times of the season, I know they had

994
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 2: some coverage bus and gave up some bigger plays, but

995
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: you know the quarterback position, you have offensive line improvement

996
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 2: and collapse and all sorts of just it was such

997
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 2: an inconsistent year almost quarter to quarter or drive to

998
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 2: drive six and six feels pretty appropriate. You take some

999
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 2: good you take some bad and there it is Miami.

1000
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 2: Miami is six and six, louisianattach. They did not finish

1001
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 2: the season well themselves. They lose to Marshall and UAB,

1002
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 2: two teams that are fine, but if you want to

1003
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 2: hang with a good defense, that's troublesome. I just think

1004
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: there is an element of Miami wanting the season to

1005
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: be over once again. And with that line movement, I

1006
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 2: actually do like Louisiana tack actually has a good defense.

1007
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: So I think I'm gonna take them by a field

1008
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 2: goal here. Not a ton of confidence, but I'm feeling it.

1009
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,280
Speaker 1: I went back and forth so many times in this game,

1010
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: and to take those points, I know, I'm putting it

1011
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: out there and I'm gonna take Miami mm hmm, and

1012
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put thirty four confidence points on it.

1013
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 2: Have fun.

1014
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about it because of my final rule,

1015
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: which team wants to be there more right? And I

1016
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,880
Speaker 1: do agree with you to the extent that with the

1017
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:15,319
Speaker 1: way Miami closed out its year, it really did feel

1018
00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: like they were just trying to get this thing over with,

1019
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 1: and especially with some of the expectations coming in. Manny

1020
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: Diaz could he reboot the program in year one, right,

1021
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: that did not happen, And no, it just is like

1022
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:32,399
Speaker 1: do they want to be there?

1023
00:54:33,239 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 2: So it's the day after Christmas, Day after Christmas, which

1024
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: means they're spending Christmas away from home, whereas the games

1025
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 2: in Shreveport, Louisiana. So maybe masier for Louisiana tech players.

1026
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,919
Speaker 2: They're celebrating Christmas to be with family, a better place emotionally.

1027
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: The gift suite includes timely watch companies, watch a Beanie,

1028
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 2: A History of the Bulls, I assume book. Yeah, it's

1029
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 2: celebrating the good of the game and a football and

1030
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 2: by the way, walk Ons there's an there's a what

1031
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 2: is an apostrophe before the s, so that means it's

1032
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: somebody it's it's the walk Ons bar. Yeah, it's a

1033
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 2: singular person. Uh. It's also bistro with an eau x,

1034
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 2: which annoys me to no end, Okay, for no real

1035
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 2: good reason. So I don't know, man, I think I'm

1036
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 2: things are tilting. Things are tilting tech for me.

1037
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: Ah, I might change my mind on this one.

1038
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 2: Thirty four points on the twenty nineteen Miami team. I know,

1039
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 2: certainly I know a way to go about life. I

1040
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 2: don't know how far away Rustin is from Shreveport, but

1041
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 2: I imagine it's closer than Miami.

1042
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 1: It's like eating something late at night that just repeats

1043
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 1: on you. Miami thirty four points, Miami thirty four point. Yes, okay,

1044
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: I reserved the right to change my mind on that one.

1045
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:56,479
Speaker 1: Okay final game Quicklane Bowl, Oh, Okay, Quicklane Bowl. Also

1046
00:55:56,520 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 1: in the twenty sixth, also on ESPN, about an hour

1047
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 1: away Rustin, Louisiana, Oka. It is Pitt at seven and five.

1048
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: It is Eastern Michigan at six and six. Pitt is

1049
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: an eleven point favorite. I looked at the numbers. It

1050
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: seems like a pretty big mismatch here, and if I

1051
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: were a betting man, I think I'd lay the points.

1052
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling a big game for Kenny Pickett. I like

1053
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: his ability to capitalize on a very weak Eastern Michigan secondary.

1054
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: Let me Pitt, give me thirty six points.

1055
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,320
Speaker 2: A lot of people feel like Pitt was right there

1056
00:56:32,600 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: about to score against Virginia Tech and it just never

1057
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 2: happened because they got their asses shut out. They were

1058
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 2: right there in that twenty eight nothing. They were, you know,

1059
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 2: knocking on the door of points. They lost two of

1060
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: three after their second by the pitt Panthers did, including

1061
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,399
Speaker 2: that shutout. It's a stud defense though their defensive line

1062
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: is so good. Jalen twineman hell of a story, hell

1063
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: of an alignment. So there is something to I mean,

1064
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 2: if there's anything to love in this game, and if

1065
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 2: there's any singular reason to watch this game. When you

1066
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 2: say it's a quicklane bowl, quicklane Bowl, yeah, it's it's

1067
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 2: pit up front. They are just filthy. They get after quarterbacks.

1068
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 2: They shut down teams passing, and Eastern Michigan is a

1069
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 2: passing team. They're an efficient passing team. I don't know

1070
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: how much more they are than that. They finish six

1071
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: and six, and you know, Chris Creighton, it's always gonna

1072
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: be a good story to get Eastern Michigan to where

1073
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 2: they are as a bowl team from where they were.

1074
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 2: It's actually this the gift suite includes in this one,

1075
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 2: I am taking pit, but I think I don't feel

1076
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: great confidence about them because I don't love their offense.

1083
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: I think that's like a beanie with a little palm

1084
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 2: on top, a backpack in tag football, and a mini helmet.

Speaker 1: lot of our listeners going to the quick Lane Bowl,

1092
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong.

1093
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,240
Speaker 2: That's so. I mean, I think we have Pitt listeners.

1094
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:25,760

00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Pitt here. Also, Ty,

1098
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 2: it should be noted if we're gonna talk about Pitt

1099
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 2: having a really fun angry defense and disappointing offense, It's

1100
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:46,200
Speaker 2: been an unbelievable year for head coaches with really strong

1101
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: defensive bona fides not being able to figure out what

1102
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: to do with your team on offense. So between Derek

1103
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:58,520

1107
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 2: at Michigan State, Gary Patterson at TCU. It's boom times tie.

1108
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 2: If you have a strong defensive background and you can't

1109
00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 2: really figure out your own team's offense. All right, there

1110
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: you go, Barry otum missouf you're on offense.

01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,880
Speaker 2: but it is a supermarket chain, a national chain, which

01:01:43,920 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 2: you have said is not your favorite, even though you

1152

01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:49,240

Speaker 2: I'm not They're not a sponsor. It's not a sponsor

1155
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 2: that's coming out of your paycheck. I have featured products

1156
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 2: and you just tell me if they if they're Molana

1157
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 2: or not Molana. People hate that game, I know, but

1158
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 2: some people love it. So Triple Ginger Brew so an

1159
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:12,000

01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: I've had that and it's actually pretty good.

1161

Speaker 2: Yeah, it is pretty good. Yeah. Hold the cone, which

1162
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 2: is a dessert where it's basically instead of a full

1163
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 2: ice cream cone. It's like two thirds the size. The

1164
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 2: ice cream is just contained within and then the top

1165
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 2: is covered in chocolate, so it's like a more of

1166
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 2: a bite sized ice cream cone situation.

1167
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: I would consider eating that.

1168
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 2: Vanilla, chocolate or peppermint flavors available, gingerbread coffee. No, you're

1169
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 2: out on chocolate lava niocchi. Uh how does it turned

1170
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 2: to that?

1171
01:02:46,920 --> 01:02:51,920
Speaker 1: No? Ty, see you're intrigued. But see what I mean exactly?

01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 2: What's it called again? Chocolate lava and the okie?

1175
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I am curious, I am curious, curious.

1176
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:12,520

01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea.

01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 2: A slice of low moisture mozzarella that's hand rolled with

1179
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:22,040
Speaker 2: a slice of high quality Deli meats preshudo not for me.

1180
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: No mazza. Bacon wrapped scallops, I'm not a bacon has

1181
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 2: a brown sugar glaze on it.

1182
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 1: I love bacon, but I'm not big on scalops.

1183
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 2: So that you are not a moana on the No? No,

1184

1185
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 2: big on truffle items. Okay, very big cheese bites with truffle.

1186
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 2: I like cheese bites. Sure. Do you know what a

1187
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 2: stroop waffle is? No idea. A stroop waffle is a

1188
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 2: thinly pressed waffle cookie type thing, and they make a

1189
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 2: thin cookie waffle cookie sandwich a little bit of caramel

1190
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 2: in between both of those layers.

1191
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with Italian pitzels, which sounds somewhat similar but

1192
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: are probably thinner.

1193
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so you would be in on that though.

1194
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 2: A strop waffle with caramel, okay, sure. A festive chocolate collection,

1195

Speaker 2: I mean chocolate, so sure, Horse radish and shive ridge

1196
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 2: cut potato chips sounds great to me.

1197
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 1: That sounds like it could be tough to put down.

1198
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that could.

1199
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: Bacon wrapped porketta roast, No idea what that is?

1200
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 2: You don't know what porketta is. It's like a rolled

1201
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 2: side of pork. Gotta be pork, right, Yes, it's a

1202
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: rolled side of pork that you slice and generally you

1203
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: put it into sandwich form. Yeah, I'm out. Okay, that

1204
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 2: sounds reasonable though, doesn't it. Yeah?

1205
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I was talking specifically about the pre made section
