<v Speaker 1>name is ty Hildebrand, joining me as always over there

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>in a beautiful New York city. My man, the one

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and only his name is Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you, Ty?

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm fantastic. We have Army Navy now in the rear

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 2>view mirror, which means officially, the FBS regular season has

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 2>come to a close, right it is Dounzo officially, Yes,

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>officially Donzo. And you know it's always a long slog.

0:00:50.400 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>You know the season we you know, we start previewing July,

0:00:53.120 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>early August. We had a week zero this season.

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.639
<v Speaker 1>You're telling me, man, I'm running here. Yeah, I just ty.

0:00:59.800 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I look back and I say, it looks like we

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 2>made it. It. Look how far we've come. We took

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 2>the long way we did, but we knew we'd get

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>here someday. And all the doubters, all the doubters said,

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 2>but they'll never make it. But look at us, Ty

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>holding on me and you were still together, still going strong.

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Shania Twain, you steal the one. You steal the one.

0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:24.399
<v Speaker 2>H Yeah, correct.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>I wanted you to go through the full thing just

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>so everybody could hear. Yeah, the artistry that is Shania Twain.

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>You're still the work.

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:37.080
<v Speaker 1>So yes, it's a season is over. It's it's been

0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.199
<v Speaker 1>a season. It was a lot of fun this year.

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Of course we added the two's cruise, which made it

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more labor intensive on our end, but

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>nonetheless still a lot of fun. And here we are.

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>So what we're doing today. We do have some news

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>to get through. There were a few awards that were

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.080
<v Speaker 1>handed out in the last few days. There's also some

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>coaching news which you're going to touch base one and

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>then we're going to dive into Bowl Confidence Pool season.

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.920
<v Speaker 1>We've got a lot of exciting things going on on

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>that front. So why don't we start at the very

0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:17.399
<v Speaker 1>top with our pregnant.

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Boo.

0:02:20.919 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>We have a Heisman Trophy winner. It is not exactly

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>a huge surprise if you were following college football at

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>all this season, especially the latter half of the season,

0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>but congratulations to our boy, Joe Dirt Joe Burrow a

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.079
<v Speaker 1>record setter. Now he wins the Heisman Trophy. He earned

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the highest margin of victory ever in the bouting, the

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>most first place votes ever. He shatters the previous mark

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>back in nineteen sixty eight when OJ Simpson won by

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>a margin of seventeen hundred and fifty points. Joe Burrow

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:59.000
<v Speaker 1>won by eighteen hundred and forty six. There was no

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>doubt he was going to be the one that one.

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.799
<v Speaker 1>Good for him, you know, he makes the move over

0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:09.520
<v Speaker 1>from Ohio State, takes a chance on LSU, got the

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>gig last year, really zoomed into a different stratosphere during

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.080
<v Speaker 1>the twenty nineteen season. Is going to go very highly

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. It's been a great story from start

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>to finish, and it's not finished yet. He still could

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>have two games left, yes, and a really heartfelt speech.

0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought in watching what Joe Burrow had to say

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>about his season and his path and where he comes from.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>And I think he called it Southeast Ohio at the

0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Athens area. So very cool to see.

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I saw somebody post, somebody that works in college football

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 2>recruiting that they posted a DM he sent. I'm like

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eleven or twenty thirteen saying I'm not

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>really just I'm not getting that much traction. What camps

0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.440
<v Speaker 2>should I be going to? And just to see where

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>he came from and where he has evolved into it's

0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>pretty crazy and well earned, well deserved, absolutely, so congratulations

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 2>to him. Congratulations to the other three finalists as well.

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Hurts, Justin Fields and Chase Young all deserve much

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>praise as well for wonderful seasons and none of their

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>stories are over yet because they're all in the college

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>football playoffs, which we are going to preview.

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>A few shows from now, So do stay tuned. Any

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 1>other awards that you'd like to run through?

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Sure real quick? We can mention that the Maxwell also

0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>went to Joe Burrow. That's Player of the Year, Davey

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.200
<v Speaker 2>O'Brien Joe Burrow best Quarterback, the Doak Walker Reward. Somehow

0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Taylor was able to take it without being a

0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Heisman finalist who could have even imagined the best running back.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>The Bolitnikoff goes to Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow's best receiver

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>at LSU. The John Mackie for best tight End, Harrison Bryant,

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 2>who we will discuss his team here shortly at FAU

0:04:49.440 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 2>the b Nark Best defensive player overall, Chase Young makes sense.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.840
<v Speaker 2>The butt gets best linebacker Isaiah Simmons, who was everywhere

0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 2>for Clemson this season. The Thorpe Award for Best dB,

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Grant de But at LSU, who at a good year.

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't you know, there were there were some down moments,

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>but still at his best is an incredible safety. Uh

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Battish. I hope I pronounced that correctly. Best center,

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.960
<v Speaker 2>the Rimington the Outland went to official left tackle of

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the solid verbal Penay Sewel at Oregon. Sure that was

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>a hotly contested one. The Louke Groza for best kicker,

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>the bespectacled Rodrigo Blankenship at Georgia. And the best punter,

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>Max Duffy at Kentucky, who just has an absolute I

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 2>was gonna say cannon for a Holitzer, So Holitzer Holitzer

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>for foot. So a lot of well earned awards for

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 2>those guys. And if we want to talk about coaching stuff,

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 2>if I don't know, sure the carousel sounds I have

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it here? You go, Okay, you're so quick, get the roar,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>in there there would go hard. Yeah, it's difficult for

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 2>me to remember exactly what we touched on. Did We

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the Chip Long thing Notre Dame.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.360
<v Speaker 1>We mentioned that Chip Long and Notre Dame had mutually

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 1>parted ways.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 2>He was thought of to be a Memphis candidate, I

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:09.000
<v Speaker 2>believe from his time obviously coaching there, But Memphis has

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 2>named They've taken the interim tag off of Ryan Silverfield

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 2>is the new head coach of Memphis. Ron Duggins, I believe,

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 2>is how you pronounced wide receiver coach Florida State. He

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 2>is being retained at Florida State by Mike Norvell and

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>his staff. Blake Gideon, you remember that name. I do.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Blake Gideon, I think well regarded, young up and coming coach.

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>He was obviously a safety at Texas. He is joining

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin's staff. Zach Hill has been hired away from

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Boise State. Their offensive coordinator is joining herm Edwards in

0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>that same position at Arizona State. Jeff Haffley is the

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>new head coach at Boston College. I saw that he

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>is the co defensive coordinator and secondary coach. Incredibly well regarded.

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 2>He was with the forty nine ers a couple of

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.280
<v Speaker 2>years before that for Ohio State, and he takes over

0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 2>at Boston College. Has a long career, actually not a

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 2>short career, but an impressive one in the Northeast especially,

0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:08.440
<v Speaker 2>but has NFL experienced. Marcus Arroyo, the offensive coordinator at Oregon,

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>has been hired by UNLV. We'll still coach in the

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Rose Bowl, but it's it's a nice hire. I think

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 2>I had my problems with the Oregon offense. I don't

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 2>think they fully fall on him. He's known to be

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>a pretty great recruiter and I think he's a People

0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>seem to like him, so hopefully he succeeds at UNLV.

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.360
<v Speaker 2>Took place that's tough to win. Matt Luke to Georgia,

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the ole Miss coach, will be making nine hundred thousand

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 2>dollars to coach the Georgia offensive line. He maybe also

0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>be an associate head coach for the Dogs. Tracy Clays

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 2>who you remember from his time most recently at Washington

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 2>State as defensive coordinator. Before stepping down, he was at

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota as an interim and then head coach. He has

0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 2>joined Virginia Tech as a linebackers coach. Okay, so there's

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 2>that so putting together a nice post Bud Foster staff

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 2>On that defense, Barry Odom looks like he will be

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.000
<v Speaker 2>joining the Arkansas staff for Sam.

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Pittman defensive coordinator.

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:09.160
<v Speaker 2>As a defensive coordinator in Barry Odom is a stud

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of a defense.

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>He's a really good defensive coordinator and that that should

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>be music to Arkansas fans' ears because defense has been

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a liability to say the least.

0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin has hired away the UCF offensive coordinator, Jeff Leby,

0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and he's bringing over his strength coach with him as

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 2>well from fau Wilson Love to ole Miss. Outside of that,

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I don't know if do we mention Eli

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Drinkwitz to Miszoo.

0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we mentioned that on the last show. I

0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>was just going to throw in one final tidbit that

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the one and only Tommy Reese will be calling plays

0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>for Notre Dame in the camping world.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Tom Tom, can you really make an adjustment post playing

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 2>to your first name?

0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, He's still Tommy to me. I

0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.800
<v Speaker 1>know if he gets the gig, we can resurrect the

0:08:54.960 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>resis sound no pun intended, but he's a young guy.

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>So he's been in the Notre Dame program for a

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.800
<v Speaker 1>while now, he's well thought of in the coaching ranks.

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>He's going to get chanced a big job though. Man,

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:10.560
<v Speaker 1>he's never called plays before. We'll see he is the

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.959
<v Speaker 1>son of a coach. We've heard that a thousand times.

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>We'll see how he does in that Bowl game and

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll see where Notre Dame decides to go longer term.

0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But if you hear his name and you wonder what's

0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 1>going on. Because Chip Long is no longer with the team,

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:26.319
<v Speaker 1>Tommy Reese is going to get his crack at call

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>in some plays.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.079
<v Speaker 2>That's too big a job for him though to take

0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 2>full time, right, I don't know. I don't know.

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>We could talk about that at some other point in time.

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Any other news that we need to discuss here anything.

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Finally, Nick Saban is out and about recruiting because signing

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.480
<v Speaker 2>day is in like three days. So we'll discuss signing

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.200
<v Speaker 2>day as we get into more Bowl previews. And you know,

0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 2>it's the early signing day, but it's kind of the

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 2>real signing day with some stragglers in February. So yep,

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 2>we'll see what happens.

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>So here is the way that this works. First and foremost.

0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:05.559
<v Speaker 1>If you haven't subscribed to the show yet, please do so.

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Anywhere you get your podcasts you can find the Solid Verbal.

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>You can also follow us across all of our social

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.679
<v Speaker 1>media channels. There's also a subreddit at soliverbal dot reddit

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>dot com, where our boy Peter recently posted that I, yes,

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 1>yours truly won the Fantasy Things conceiations. Thank you. I

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.960
<v Speaker 1>owe it to God in the troops as I always do.

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you get on like eye slide sandals as part

0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 2>of a congratulatory gift suite experience.

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>It's a very natural tie in that you did there.

0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.640
<v Speaker 1>That is a professional tie into what we are doing today.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Is it not? I try a little segue.

0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Interesting, Yeah, Today we are embarking upon our five part

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Bowl preview. So there are a bunch of games to discuss.

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.079
<v Speaker 1>There are forty one that if you go on out

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to your Bowl confidence pool you have a chance to select.

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 1>There are forty Bowl games and then the forty first

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.839
<v Speaker 1>is obviously the national Championship. What we have done is

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>set up our confidence pool. You can go to solid

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>verbal dot com slash pick them, or you can just

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>go to our website and at the very top and

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>the yellow banner, you'll see a link where you can

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>click through and you can sign up for the pool.

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 1>The way that this works is you pick winners, and

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>then after you pick the winners, you assign confidence points

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:23.600
<v Speaker 1>to each of those winners. So, for example, if you

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.080
<v Speaker 1>are very very comfortable with selecting Notre Dame over Iowa

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.640
<v Speaker 1>State and you are the most confident in that game,

0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>put forty one points on it. The least confident game

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that you pick, you put one point on. Very simple,

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>you just rank them from forty one on down in

0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>terms of your confidence. Now, this year, what we have

0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 1>done is we have up the ante a little bit.

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Ooh.

0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Our friends over at Rollback are throwing in some gift

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>cards to the top three.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Wow. I like that.

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Finishers in the Bowl pool you can get in I

0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think twice. I've got a cap on twice. You can

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>enter two if you one. But going out to cliverble

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>dot com slash pick them. We do this every year.

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:07.959
<v Speaker 1>We're going to be previewing these games in waves. It

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>dawned to me that despite we knew we were gonna

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.920
<v Speaker 1>be doing the show for a while, I don't actually

0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>have a Bowl confidence pool. Or bowl, pool, bowl anything sound,

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>which meant I just I picked two randomly off the

0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>shelf that we could go with. Now, okay, we're gonna

0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:28.600
<v Speaker 1>have to play December to Remember at some point, because

0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 1>of course that's sort of our unofficial theme for the

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>month of December. But I have two here. You can

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>tell me which one you prefer. Here's a orderlinerot again ironic.

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Orderline erotica.

0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's the old Brett Beelama sound, and it is

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:53.040
<v Speaker 1>labeled here in our file as borderline erotic dash no

0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 1>turkey because there used to be a gobble at the end,

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.079
<v Speaker 1>and at some point or another I must have chopped

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the turkey portion off it so we could it was for.

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 2>November, and you that's just dumb, dumb decision by on

0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>your part.

0:13:04.440 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>The other one here, and I have no idea why

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I have this sound, but I believe this is a

0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 1>book It commercial from nineteen ninety two. Book It is

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a reading incentive program that encourages young people to read,

0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 1>support your children's It's like a full forty five second clip.

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was gonna say we'd still gone here.

0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, So I don't know which one we want to

0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>assign to this specific Bowl previous show, but this is

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Bowl Previews Show number one. We're going to be previewing

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 1>games from the Celebration Bowl on the twentieth of December

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.280
<v Speaker 1>all the way through the Quick Laying Bowl on December

0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.079
<v Speaker 1>twenty sixth. So this is our biggest batch of games

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.240
<v Speaker 1>that will be previewing at once. As I said, we've

0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of these that are forthcoming, but we're

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.800
<v Speaker 1>going to jump right out of the shoot here talking

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>about a dozen games or so.

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Dan, I think we should just hop in the bull barge,

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>the bull boat, the bull boat, keep it nautically themed

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 2>all the way through. Just commit to the bit. If

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.120
<v Speaker 2>that is the is that that's the general theme of

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 2>our twenty nineteen season. I think we just commit to

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 2>the nautical bit all the way through.

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>We can do that, Okay, Okay. So I have a

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 1>couple rules that I like to follow in confidence pools. Okay,

0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a bit of a formula, and I know

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>you do too, But let me tell you my three

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:27.800
<v Speaker 1>rules when it comes to picking these things.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like that you call it a formula, and

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>it's completely subjective, completely subjective. Yeah.

0:14:33.440 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 1>The first rule is what I call the East Coast

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Elliott Rule East Coast Elliott, formerly a fixture on the show.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Not sure if Elliott still listens. Definitely still live, Definitely

0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>still a wild card. Yeah, but not as big a

0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>part of the show as he used to be anyway.

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Great dude, mediocre speller, medio, very mediocre speller.

0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 2>That is correct. Yeah, but my.

0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Friend Elliott has long had this theory that I have

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.560
<v Speaker 1>adopted as my own, and his theory is that in

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>confidence pools you should load up on your points early.

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I like that, all right. So by default, if you

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 1>go in there soliverbo dot com slash pick them and

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.560
<v Speaker 1>you sign up, you're going to see that the system

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 1>will number the early games with your least amount of

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 1>confidence and the later games with your most amount of confidence.

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 1>It basically just numbers them in chronological order from one

0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 1>to forty one. All I'm saying is to reverse that,

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>or at least most of that. People don't know as

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>much about the teams in the earlier games, so they

0:15:38.720 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>tend to load up on the later games, which I've

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.560
<v Speaker 1>always found to be more of a toss up. So

0:15:43.600 --> 0:15:46.720
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying is just reverse the curse. Put a

0:15:46.720 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of your points early, try to front load it.

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Get them early, especially if you're in a smaller confidence pool.

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>The one we're doing is going to have a couple

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand entries, But if you're in like an office pool

0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 1>or you've got thirty people, load up on your points early,

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>get them early. Try to get as many points as

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>you can before December the twenty sixth.

0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do your own version of cheesing. Do your own

0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>version of fantasy baseball, loading up on closers where you

0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>just like have a strategy and you stick to it. Yeah,

0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 2>committing to the bit. Get your points early. So that's

0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:19.080
<v Speaker 2>the first rule.

0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>The second is if a team lost its coach, pick

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the opponent. Okay, not in every case, but consider it.

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Consider it if there's a monster injury. We've got this

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 1>newer thing now last couple of years where guys are

0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.400
<v Speaker 1>skipping their bowl games. Don't know if that's gonna happen,

0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>but if it does, consider that as well.

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 2>We've seen some cam Akers has decided to sit out

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>the Florida State Bowl Game. So yeah, so there's some

0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 2>big names that are sitting out.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Can consider that. And then the third thing is just

0:16:46.440 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>in general, pick the team that wants it more. Unless

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a total mismatch, and that's an important qualifier that

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 1>pertains to my perdew Auburn situation from a here gootyright,

0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I read too much into that. But this won't come

0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:05.159
<v Speaker 1>as much into play this wave, but definitely as we

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:07.959
<v Speaker 1>get into more Power five games, I think it's going

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to be more of a factor. Those are my only

0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>three rules.

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I generally I like the early games being worth

0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.239
<v Speaker 2>more in the confidence pool. I have not signed up

0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.520
<v Speaker 2>and addressed my confidence numbers, so I'll do that the

0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>next show. But I mean I have game picks and

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.600
<v Speaker 2>stuff like that, and so I am ready to roll upon. Well,

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 2>we should also mention Navy murdered Army.

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 1>They actually did. You just got thirty one to seven.

0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was closerly, but nyve just putting an exclamation

0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.600
<v Speaker 2>point on a pretty remarkable comeback season after a down

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.919
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen. And I know it was Malcolm Perry rushed

0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:52.800
<v Speaker 2>for over three hundred yards, set records for the midshipman

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:56.479
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I know you like to take those points,

0:17:56.520 --> 0:17:58.800
<v Speaker 2>but it was it was a hell of a second half,

0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.879
<v Speaker 2>especially for Navy.

0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's start at the top. December the twentieth. It's on ABC.

0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 1>It is North Carolina A and T at eight and three.

0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>It is al Korn State at nine and three. They

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:16.640
<v Speaker 1>call this one the Celebration Bowl. It's a wonderful tradition. Yeah,

0:18:16.840 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina A and T is a two and a

0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.199
<v Speaker 1>half point favorite here, Dan, So what I said at

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:25.679
<v Speaker 1>the top about putting a ton of points on some

0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of these early games, I'm not gonna put forty one

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>on this, but I'm gonna put thirty five. Well, I'm

0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:33.919
<v Speaker 1>gonna put it on North Carolina A and T.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there are more balanced team. I just read up

0:18:36.800 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, watched a couple of clips. I'm going

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 2>with the the Aggies over the braves here.

0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:43.800
<v Speaker 1>It is the fourth straight time that North Carolina A

0:18:43.840 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and T has been in this game, so they've got

0:18:45.440 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 1>some familiarity with it. They've got a great rushing attack,

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:52.679
<v Speaker 1>a good defense. Okay, thirty five points, go hard or

0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 1>go home. Let's just get it, get it out there,

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:57.879
<v Speaker 1>let's get our thirty five points. Let's survive in advance.

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:00.720
<v Speaker 2>This is the full testament to your our theory. Because

0:19:00.720 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't believe you've watched, because I haven't a single

0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 2>second of North Carolina A and T thirty five points.

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Is faith in the formula.

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I did a lot faith in the formula, that's right.

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:10.919
<v Speaker 1>I did a lot of research.

0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 2>On this game.

0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Actually, okay, great, more so than I could put in

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>the words. I did a lot of research on it.

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel pretty good about ant.

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Next bowl game.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:26.360
<v Speaker 1>The makers wanted Bahamas Bowl Dan, Yes, what is makers wanted? Oh?

0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:27.359
<v Speaker 2>I can google it though.

0:19:27.720 --> 0:19:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's a type of liqueur, isn't it.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, there's makers mark.

0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's a type of the core a liqueur.

0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 2>As opposed to a liquor. Makers wanted is Uh? We

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 2>probably do this every year. Is it the Is it

0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 2>a business park in Illinois? Oh?

0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I think it is a business park in Illinois. Sponsoring

0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a bowl game in the Bahamas.

0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I think we discussed this every year. I'm looking

0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>at a but yes, the Bahamas Bowl is in Nasau.

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Why did I think it was liquor?

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I think you got the makers mark part of.

0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>It makers wanted? Okay.

0:20:11.160 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Elk Grove Village is a village located in northeastern Illinois,

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.760
<v Speaker 2>adjacent to O'Hare International. The village, as part of its

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:21.640
<v Speaker 2>quote makers wanted campaign announced they will be taking over

0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 2>its naming rights sponsorship of the Bahamas Bowl. How do

0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:29.119
<v Speaker 2>they want It? Is like the slogan, it's the tagline.

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.080
<v Speaker 1>How did they have the coin to sponsor the Bahamas Bowl?

0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think it costs that much. I just

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>don't believe it does.

0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.679
<v Speaker 1>This one is also on December the twentieth. It's on ESPN.

0:20:40.760 --> 0:20:43.399
<v Speaker 1>It's Buffalo. The Bulls are seven and five and a

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.840
<v Speaker 1>six and a half point favorite over Charlotte. Yeah, Charlotte

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>is also seven and five. Now, both teams had much

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>better second halves of their season. Charlotte's actually on a

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:59.479
<v Speaker 1>five game winning streak coming into the Bahamas Bowl. This

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:01.480
<v Speaker 1>is one of those games where I think both teams

0:21:01.560 --> 0:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>want it. I can't look at this game and say, oh, well,

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.159
<v Speaker 1>there's one team where this game means way more to them. No,

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 1>I think both want it. It is worth noting that

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Will Healey didn't he announce this bullbit wearing a bunch

0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:17.000
<v Speaker 1>of scuba gear.

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and he also just got a contract extension, So

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 2>it's good time to be Will Healey and the Charlotte

0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:23.040
<v Speaker 2>forty nine ers.

0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:25.720
<v Speaker 1>He's an up and coming coach. They've got a really

0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 1>good offense, and they're especially good on the ground. My

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>issue with taking Charlotte here is that Buffalo is just

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:37.439
<v Speaker 1>so much better on defense. They're so good on defense. Yeah,

0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and that, to me, I think is probably the biggest difference.

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:45.240
<v Speaker 1>So I went back and forth here. I'm not going

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to go crazy with like forty points on Buffalo, but

0:21:49.520 --> 0:21:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I go Buffalo outright thirty confidence points. If

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I were a betting man, I'd probably bet on Charlotte.

0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But wow, Buffalo outright thirty confidence points. Yeah, it's a

0:22:00.640 --> 0:22:03.080
<v Speaker 1>high level confidence for me. And you're right, Buffalo has

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the impressive defense in this game. They have a duo

0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.240
<v Speaker 1>of thousand yard rushers. Finished the season winning five of sex,

0:22:09.320 --> 0:22:10.679
<v Speaker 1>five of sex, five of six.

0:22:11.160 --> 0:22:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh ty, where's my mind? They beat Temple, they beat

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Central Michigan. These are quality enough teams, and the Charlotte

0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.280
<v Speaker 2>forty nine or defense, which as part of a really

0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>fun story this year, still pretty rough. That defense, especially

0:22:24.040 --> 0:22:26.280
<v Speaker 2>against the run. So it's a bad matchup. But they

0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:29.560
<v Speaker 2>beat Marshall after losing four straight, and we talked about

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:31.159
<v Speaker 2>the way both of these teams finish out the year.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Chris Reynolds is a fun dual threat at quarterback for

0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers and Alex Highsmith, former walk on

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.800
<v Speaker 2>to Charlotte and has had an incredible season as an

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:42.840
<v Speaker 2>edge rusher and is a draft prospect. But I have

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.879
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo winning this by about ten points, and it should

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 2>be noted. Yeah, there is a gift suite for the

0:22:48.680 --> 0:22:52.080
<v Speaker 2>players in this game. I mean gifts includes board shorts,

0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.520
<v Speaker 2>a Yetti rambler, which I really do like my Yeddi Rambler,

0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:58.680
<v Speaker 2>which was a Bowld gift for us. You get a towel,

0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 2>you get a pine a string backpack I think from

0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 2>the Tropical Smoothie Cafe, which appears to be a Bowl

0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:08.360
<v Speaker 2>sponsor of another game.

0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Wait, they're sponsoring the next Bowl game.

0:23:10.359 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I know, but I'm seeing on the list Tropical Smoothie Cafe,

0:23:13.880 --> 0:23:14.800
<v Speaker 2>string backpack.

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Why doesn't Tropical Smoothie sponsor the Bahamas Bowl?

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 2>It feels like a better fit. It does.

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Tropical Smoothie is doing the Frisco Bowl, which we're going

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about next. M hm. Could they just not

0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>outbid makers wanted?

0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes you have contracts where you just you know, you

0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:33.800
<v Speaker 2>got to wait your turn.

0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:37.440
<v Speaker 1>If they switch places, it would make perfect sense for both.

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 2>But who am I happens?

0:23:39.359 --> 0:23:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Who am I?

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:43.399
<v Speaker 1>Just alowly podcaster we go, we both got buffalo to

0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 1>the tune of many confidence points.

0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Correct, Let's go to.

0:23:46.400 --> 0:23:50.000
<v Speaker 1>The Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl. I hear ads for

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>this place, actually, now that I think about it on

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Serious XM. One of those deals that they're trying to

0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.520
<v Speaker 1>get you to buy into the franchise. Oh so full

0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:01.679
<v Speaker 1>on store ads, full on ads here. This one is

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:04.320
<v Speaker 1>also on December of the twentieth. It's on ESPN. Two

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.640
<v Speaker 1>is Utah State at seven and five. It is Kent

0:24:08.760 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>State at six and six. Utah States a seven point favorite.

0:24:14.480 --> 0:24:18.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think the notable tidbit is that Jordan Love,

0:24:18.960 --> 0:24:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the star quarterback for the Utah State Aggies. We talked

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.640
<v Speaker 1>about him on I don't Know a show a week

0:24:25.680 --> 0:24:27.600
<v Speaker 1>and a half ago, how he's probably going to enter

0:24:27.640 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>the transfer portal. Nope, he is going to go pro instead,

0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 1>So he's not in the transfer portal. He's going pro.

0:24:35.880 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 1>He is playing in this game, which tells me that

0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>he is hungry to prove himself for any pro scouts

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:43.359
<v Speaker 1>that might be watching. He's a big kid, he's a

0:24:43.359 --> 0:24:47.960
<v Speaker 1>good quarterback and I like Utah State a lot here

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:50.440
<v Speaker 1>because of that, I think he's got something to prove.

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Kent State.

0:24:51.880 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Good on them.

0:24:52.440 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>It's only their fourth ever bowl game. They've never won

0:24:54.880 --> 0:24:56.879
<v Speaker 1>a bowl game, so they will be hungry here. I

0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think this is a motivational type thing, but I

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 1>take Jordan Love. I take his pro prospects in him

0:25:03.359 --> 0:25:07.720
<v Speaker 1>wanting to eat in this bowl game. Gimme Utah State

0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and thirty nine confidence points.

0:25:10.359 --> 0:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Utah State is who I am rolling with as well.

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:14.879
<v Speaker 2>They finished the season winning three oh four. It was

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.840
<v Speaker 2>a tough transition with Gary Anderson returning, but they still

0:25:17.880 --> 0:25:22.800
<v Speaker 2>beat San Diego State and Wyoming, which are totally decent wins.

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:25.199
<v Speaker 2>It feels weird to say because Jordan Love showed so

0:25:25.359 --> 0:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>much last season. This was a below average offense and

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 2>a below average defense, especially up front, So I'm not

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.280
<v Speaker 2>crazy confident in Utah State in the Aggies. But Ken

0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:38.520
<v Speaker 2>State tight wins over Buffalo and Ball State. They played,

0:25:38.600 --> 0:25:41.120
<v Speaker 2>they had a trio of crazy I think it was Auburn, Wisconsin,

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.639
<v Speaker 2>and Arizona State. Their defense is pretty bad, so I

0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>think I'm gonna go with the quarterback edge here, So yeah,

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna go with Utah State maybe in the twenties,

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>confidence Wise and TI so we agree. Gift suite includes

0:25:53.480 --> 0:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>a Justin cowboy hat. Should you know this is Frisco,

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Texas and also the home of the FCS Championship game.

0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 2>You gotta get a football. You get a college Football

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:09.320
<v Speaker 2>one hundred and fiftieth anniversary coin, a lapel pin, a beanie,

0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:13.719
<v Speaker 2>and something called a Blingwear cup. I looked up Blingwear

0:26:13.920 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 2>and I was like, Oh, this is a It feels

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 2>like a really good idea for you know, drinking glasses

0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:19.600
<v Speaker 2>and stuff like that. Maybe they all look like little

0:26:19.640 --> 0:26:21.880
<v Speaker 2>trophies like a mini Stanley cup you can drink your

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:25.280
<v Speaker 2>coffee out of. Yeah, what a smart thing. It's just

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:29.120
<v Speaker 2>cups that fix a ring like a championship ring to them,

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:32.240
<v Speaker 2>so you could like hold the cup by the ring.

0:26:35.600 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Opportunity like a ring pop, but only for cups. So

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 2>you can imagine a handle on a mug.

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Right right, like brass attached to a mug.

0:26:45.320 --> 0:26:49.320
<v Speaker 2>Imagine a very small championship like a championship ring used

0:26:49.359 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 2>as the handle, so you can only fit a finger

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 2>in there to use as a finger or a handle.

0:26:54.560 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's what you're getting if you are a Utah

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.680
<v Speaker 2>State or ken State player in the Frisco Ball.

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:03.040
<v Speaker 1>So there there is a company that makes just those

0:27:03.080 --> 0:27:04.600
<v Speaker 1>cups and that's the business.

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Sing where Tropical Smoothie Cafe did some digging while you

0:27:08.280 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 2>were previewing your side of this game. Yeah, and you

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 2>think to yourself, a Smoothie Cafe. That must be man,

0:27:14.359 --> 0:27:16.320
<v Speaker 2>You're just you're watching your figure. You know, you want

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:18.679
<v Speaker 2>to get some vegetables and some fruits and some super

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>foods into your diet. There's a lot of bacon on

0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:27.560
<v Speaker 2>the Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Really club sandwiches, yes, breakfast burritos.

0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so they're really.

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Something for everybody, I suppose at the Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if this podcast thing doesn't work out, we

0:27:34.400 --> 0:27:35.359
<v Speaker 1>could get a franchise.

0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:36.360
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I know a guy, I know a number. I hear

0:27:39.119 --> 0:27:41.399
<v Speaker 1>it all the time. All right, now, what's going on

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Utah State? Right? We then we go to the New

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Mexico Bowl. This Bowl doesn't have a sponsor, does it.

0:27:49.160 --> 0:27:51.280
<v Speaker 2>No? Not, No longer do they have a sponsor after

0:27:51.320 --> 0:27:52.040
<v Speaker 2>what they went through.

0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:55.440
<v Speaker 1>So December twenty first, this one is the day after

0:27:56.800 --> 0:27:59.360
<v Speaker 1>It's on ESPN at San Diego State at nine and three.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It is Central Michigan at eight and five. The Astechs

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.760
<v Speaker 1>are a three and a half point favorite here. Now

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.359
<v Speaker 1>you know my stance in San Diego State. I like

0:28:09.480 --> 0:28:12.399
<v Speaker 1>them more than you. Every year they're like my Stanford.

0:28:13.640 --> 0:28:17.520
<v Speaker 1>This year is no different. Like always, They're really good

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.440
<v Speaker 1>on defense. The metrics view their defense as a top

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:23.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty unit on a per play basis, which is notable.

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:28.240
<v Speaker 1>The most anyone has scored on them all year was

0:28:28.320 --> 0:28:30.439
<v Speaker 1>twenty three points, and that was a close loss to

0:28:30.560 --> 0:28:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Utah State. The problem is that the offense does legitimately stink.

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:39.280
<v Speaker 1>It's real bad. One of the great half teams this

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:42.960
<v Speaker 1>season is San Diego State, but the defense is just

0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:47.360
<v Speaker 1>so high level that I question how Central Michigan gets

0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>any forward tractions. So I think it's low scoring. I

0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want to touch the point spread, but I like

0:28:53.080 --> 0:28:56.680
<v Speaker 1>San Diego State. They have done well by me in

0:28:56.760 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 1>past bowl seasons. So thirty eight points on the app,

0:29:00.400 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm committing to the bit.

0:29:01.640 --> 0:29:04.479
<v Speaker 2>WHOA, I like that. I like that confidence. Yeah, you're

0:29:04.520 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 2>right about San Diego State. Another year where it appears

0:29:06.600 --> 0:29:10.440
<v Speaker 2>that Rocky Long exclusively recruits defensive players. They're great and

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:13.280
<v Speaker 2>the mean. The ones who get beat out are just

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>assigned offense. It's a bunch of linebackers on the offensive line,

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 2>and they obviously with Rashad Penny and Don L. Pumphrey,

0:29:21.400 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>have recruited running backs pretty well. Jawan Washington, They're starting

0:29:24.000 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 2>running back is questionable. In this game. San Diego State

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:30.080
<v Speaker 2>beat a decent enough BYU team Wyoming and Ucla, which

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 2>is an impressive thing to do for San Diego State.

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:37.320
<v Speaker 2>They can really offensively, only they get some underneath passing going.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.360
<v Speaker 2>It's not a great watch. But Central Michigan they finished

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the year strong. They win three of four and it's

0:29:41.920 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 2>an improved year. Still a ways to go. And when

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you deep dive some of these seasons for the early

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Bowl games, you see a lot of Okay, let's see

0:29:49.360 --> 0:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>what type of S and P or SP plus teams

0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.320
<v Speaker 2>they beat number one twenty seven, number one twenty nine,

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 2>number one twenty three, number one nineteen, So building that

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.040
<v Speaker 2>sort of resumes, I guess the first step for Central Michigan,

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Quentin Dormandy, you'll remember from his time at Tennessee and

0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:07.040
<v Speaker 2>brief stopover at Houston, is their starting quarterback. A very

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:10.240
<v Speaker 2>strong HAVOCD. They force fumbles, they get after the quarterback

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:13.400
<v Speaker 2>tackles for loss. Good against the run. I like Central

0:30:13.440 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Michigan and I like their story, but I have seventeen

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>thirteen San Diego State.

0:30:17.040 --> 0:30:17.520
<v Speaker 1>It feels right.

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:20.040
<v Speaker 2>This one that feels right. Yeah, I believe San Diego

0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 2>State also lost a game fourteen to eleven. If you're a.

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Stated scores, I love that eleven score one you.

0:30:25.600 --> 0:30:30.640
<v Speaker 2>And the New Mexico Bowl is giving away Oakley Wholebrook sunglasses.

0:30:30.640 --> 0:30:34.440
<v Speaker 2>There is a gift suite, an Oakley gearbox, backpack, a beanie,

0:30:34.520 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 2>and a water bottle. Okay, hydrate, everybody, hydrate. So decent enough.

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Also on December twenty, first the FBC Mortgage Cure Bowl

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 1>h CBS Sports Network. It's Georgia Southern at seven and five.

0:30:49.360 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>It is Liberty at seven and five. Georgia Southern is

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:57.400
<v Speaker 1>a five point favorite. They are undefeated in bowl games

0:30:57.560 --> 0:31:01.360
<v Speaker 1>since joining the FBS ranks. I guess they're two to zeroe.

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.840
<v Speaker 1>A whole lot to pull from there, but they're an

0:31:03.840 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>option team and an option team, frankly, is a really

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 1>bad matchup for Liberty, which is awful against the run

0:31:11.800 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>as defensive unit. I like Liberty's passing game very solid,

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>been solid all year. The Georgia Southern secondary also leaves

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:22.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot to be desired, but I think I like

0:31:22.320 --> 0:31:29.480
<v Speaker 1>that matchup of the Southern option against the Liberty lack

0:31:29.560 --> 0:31:32.680
<v Speaker 1>of a run defense option more than I like anything

0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.040
<v Speaker 1>else here. So Georgia Southern thirty seven points, let's do it.

0:31:36.440 --> 0:31:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Impressive season for Georgia Southern. They won six of

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>eight to finish out the year, including beating app State

0:31:42.280 --> 0:31:45.920
<v Speaker 2>in boone on ESPN Big Game. They pushed Minnesota early,

0:31:45.960 --> 0:31:47.800
<v Speaker 2>as you'll remember. I think they lose that one by

0:31:47.880 --> 0:31:50.760
<v Speaker 2>They lost that by a couple points. The quarterback is

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Shy Wertz, who has been around for a little bit,

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:57.560
<v Speaker 2>and they run a really fun it's like a shotgun

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 2>option type look, so not your traditional under center. Maybe

0:32:01.360 --> 0:32:05.760
<v Speaker 2>it's a shoption, sure whatever. They defend the run pretty well,

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:08.440
<v Speaker 2>not so much against the pass. I like that Liberty

0:32:08.560 --> 0:32:10.840
<v Speaker 2>has at least a little bit of time to prepare

0:32:10.920 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 2>for a different type of offense. Liberty sort of limped

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>to the finish. They did beat Buffalo. The rest of

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:18.040
<v Speaker 2>their schedule sort of fluff. I know they played two

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>FCS teams. I believe they run the ball. Well, you

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the passing game, Antonio Gandy Golden really good fun watch,

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:30.040
<v Speaker 2>big receiver setting records. I actually have Liberty winning this

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.960
<v Speaker 2>game real. I think their defense is a little bit better,

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:34.840
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to go with Liberty. I have at

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 2>thirty to twenty four taking down the Cure Ball.

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:40.520
<v Speaker 1>What's our gift situation here?

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Orlando is the home of the Cure Bowl, and I

0:32:43.720 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 2>believe of FBC mortgage. So you'll be walking away with

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 2>a watch, a Bluetooth backpack, a Bluetooth Bluetooth backpack, backpack,

0:32:53.120 --> 0:32:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what that means. Wow, a warm up

0:32:56.920 --> 0:33:00.000
<v Speaker 2>jacket and pants, a sport tech long sleeve T shirt,

0:33:00.520 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 2>a midfit structured hat, and pebble beach slides.

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Pebble beach slides.

0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Pebble beach slides.

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Is that the new eye slide?

0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't tell you, but I can google pebble beach slides.

0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:21.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a sandal, Okay, that's what it appears to be.

0:33:21.200 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>A lot of competition in that sandals market.

0:33:23.120 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, it's true.

0:33:25.520 --> 0:33:30.040
<v Speaker 1>We disagree. Moving on this, go to the Cherubundi Boker

0:33:30.120 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 1>A toone Bowl. Dan h also on December twenty first

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>on ABC, it is SMU at ten and two. It

0:33:39.320 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>is FAU at ten and three. SMU is a three

0:33:44.040 --> 0:33:46.480
<v Speaker 1>point favorite in this game, Daniel, So here we go,

0:33:47.080 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Here we go. The metrics say that this game's about

0:33:51.760 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>as dead even as you were gonna get. But in

0:33:57.080 --> 0:33:58.840
<v Speaker 1>keeping with the theme here, if I want to fully

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:03.120
<v Speaker 1>commit to the bit FA you lost Lin kiffinto ole Miss.

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>SMU was potentially going New Year's six not too long ago.

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:13.560
<v Speaker 1>They've been a team we followed pretty closely all year long. Yeah,

0:34:13.600 --> 0:34:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I like FAU a lot here, and I really went

0:34:17.320 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 1>back and forth on which direction I wanted to go,

0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:22.200
<v Speaker 1>But the one thing I kept coming back to was

0:34:22.360 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I just I feel like SMU is going to care

0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more. I feel like they've got something

0:34:28.360 --> 0:34:33.200
<v Speaker 1>to prove, and they've been pretty solid all year.

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Liked FAU a lot.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.719
<v Speaker 1>I like FA No. I like Here's what I'm saying.

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:40.439
<v Speaker 1>I like FAU a lot. I like their story. They've

0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>had a good year. They have solid players, but they

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:46.040
<v Speaker 1>lost their coach. They did, they lost their coach, and

0:34:46.120 --> 0:34:49.600
<v Speaker 1>so I'm going against them primarily because of that, and

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:52.319
<v Speaker 1>also because I think SMU has more motivation to try

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and prove something here. So let's go SMU. Not as

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy as some of the other games that I've been picked,

0:35:00.239 --> 0:35:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but still thirty one confidence points and keeping with the bit.

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I like SMU as well. I mean, the FAU

0:35:06.320 --> 0:35:09.279
<v Speaker 2>thing is interesting because they're playing in their home stadium.

0:35:10.200 --> 0:35:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Exactly is it's a road I guess it's a road favorite,

0:35:15.080 --> 0:35:17.320
<v Speaker 2>so it's a home dog that you are going against.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:20.480
<v Speaker 2>It was an uneven end to the season for SMU,

0:35:20.520 --> 0:35:22.319
<v Speaker 2>but they still finish ten and two. That's pretty great.

0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a big play offense. They were better through the air.

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Xavier Jones was really good on the ground for them.

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 2>James proche was you know, continues to be a very

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:33.279
<v Speaker 2>good receiver. Patrick Nelson a total wrecking ball. And this

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 2>is one of the things that I like about having

0:35:35.800 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 2>a little bit of time to catch up on games

0:35:38.160 --> 0:35:40.560
<v Speaker 2>that I didn't necessarily see and players I didn't necessarily

0:35:40.560 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to watch. Patrick Nelson is incredible for SMU,

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:49.200
<v Speaker 2>sort of a hybrid linebacker safety type, smaller linebacker, but

0:35:49.280 --> 0:35:51.440
<v Speaker 2>all over the place. This is a big time havoc

0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:54.520
<v Speaker 2>defense for the Mustangs. They will gamble and miss, give

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 2>up some big plays, but I really liked watching them

0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.440
<v Speaker 2>this season and FAU. They win ten of eleven to

0:35:59.480 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>finish out the season. Another big play offense, so that

0:36:02.560 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 2>could be a potential bad matchup for smu the best

0:36:05.040 --> 0:36:08.719
<v Speaker 2>turnover margin in the nation. Liked Fau's linebackers a lot

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:11.719
<v Speaker 2>as I watched some clips of them, so I really

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:13.839
<v Speaker 2>wanted to take FAU. The coach thing hurts the fact

0:36:13.880 --> 0:36:16.319
<v Speaker 2>that they're not, you know, traveling and get a big

0:36:16.360 --> 0:36:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Bowl experience. I say thirty eight to thirty three smu

0:36:19.480 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Here so maybe in the twenties confidence wise.

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Lot of good players in this game, which made it

0:36:24.960 --> 0:36:27.120
<v Speaker 1>hard for me to pick and apply my little formula

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:30.400
<v Speaker 1>because I really like what FAU has. But gonna go

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.360
<v Speaker 1>smu Here thirty one points.

0:36:33.360 --> 0:36:36.440
<v Speaker 2>And this is what the Boca. I don't Hoca Ratone Bowl.

0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a gift situation for the Boca Ratone Bowl.

0:36:39.840 --> 0:36:42.279
<v Speaker 1>All the tart cherries you can eat from Cherubundie.

0:36:42.920 --> 0:36:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you can get a bunch of tart and cherry juice,

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:46.319
<v Speaker 2>but I didn't see it listed here.

0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:51.439
<v Speaker 1>It's great for gout. Okay, moving on the Chamellee Bowl

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:56.839
<v Speaker 1>December the twenty first, on ESPN, The Arkansas State red

0:36:56.880 --> 0:37:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Wolves at seven and five the FIU Golden Panthers. I

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:07.759
<v Speaker 1>believe at six and six. Arkansas State comes into this

0:37:07.840 --> 0:37:11.759
<v Speaker 1>one a two and a half point favorite. I went

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.640
<v Speaker 1>back and forth here. I've only got ten points on this.

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea who to pick. What I like

0:37:16.640 --> 0:37:20.160
<v Speaker 1>about FIU is that they've got a good secondary, and

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's their quarterbacks last game, so there's gonna be some motivation.

0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But I think otherwise they didn't really beat anybody this year,

0:37:27.840 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>like at all, and that's worrisome to me. I think

0:37:31.080 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas State's probably the better team here, and I was

0:37:35.719 --> 0:37:39.839
<v Speaker 1>leaning in that direction. But quarterbacks, last game, good secondary,

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go FIU. I'm only gonna put ten confidence

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:44.960
<v Speaker 1>points on it, though.

0:37:48.560 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not bad. I understand where your head is

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:53.960
<v Speaker 2>at Arkansas State wins four or five. They're a big

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.919
<v Speaker 2>passing team. Their defense okay, kind of below average. Laine

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Hatcher was a pretty promising fresh and a quarterback Omar

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Bayless total stud for same time. Dude loved watching him.

0:38:05.880 --> 0:38:09.040
<v Speaker 2>He was the Sunbelt Offensive Player of the Year. I

0:38:09.080 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 2>think you're you're right on FYU. They beat up on

0:38:11.239 --> 0:38:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of bad teams. They ended the season in

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:19.399
<v Speaker 2>a bit uneven fashion, but they beat Miami. I'm gonna

0:38:19.400 --> 0:38:22.120
<v Speaker 2>go Arkansas State here thirty one twenty Yeah, okay, I

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 2>get it. They're they're comfortably better. FIU is just weird

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:31.799
<v Speaker 2>year and weird gift suite situation kind chamelliable as well.

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Okay, what do we got?

0:38:32.880 --> 0:38:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You got a fossil watch and ESPN branded Samsonite rolling

0:38:36.880 --> 0:38:40.480
<v Speaker 2>bag and beanie. Is that like a rolling backpack because

0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:41.920
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't sound like a rolling suitcase.

0:38:42.640 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 1>So I've got my rolling bag that we got from

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.400
<v Speaker 1>one of our bull stops, right, and I use it

0:38:49.440 --> 0:38:52.360
<v Speaker 1>every time we go to a different bowl game. Yeah,

0:38:52.440 --> 0:38:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I use that thing religiously. You get used out of

0:38:54.640 --> 0:38:57.000
<v Speaker 1>it if it's like a rolling backpack or just free.

0:38:57.080 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Luggage in general is always pretty stellar in these gift suites.

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:06.680
<v Speaker 2>And then a football. Okay, that's it. Not bad.

0:39:06.840 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>The luggage is key there.

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 2>The luggages. Yeah, if you get used out of it.

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Sure. Also on the twenty first, a big day of

0:39:14.560 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 1>bowl games, the mid Subishi Motors Las Vegas Bowl on ABC.

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:22.800
<v Speaker 1>It is Washington Huskies at seven and five. It is

0:39:22.840 --> 0:39:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the Boise State Broncos at twelve and one. Washington is

0:39:26.400 --> 0:39:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a three and a half point favored in the Chris

0:39:28.520 --> 0:39:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Peterson Bowl, which is effectively what this is dan a

0:39:34.640 --> 0:39:39.320
<v Speaker 1>close relative of a team losing its coach to another

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:45.439
<v Speaker 1>team is a successful coach randomly retiring and becoming an administrator. Yeah,

0:39:46.160 --> 0:39:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't right the rules for this one, but it

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:52.480
<v Speaker 1>feels like it also somehow applies here. I think because

0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:55.520
<v Speaker 1>of that, Washington's got a lot to play for. I

0:39:55.560 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 1>also think Washington may be demonstrably better than Boise State.

0:40:00.160 --> 0:40:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Like Boise State a lot here, but it feels to

0:40:03.160 --> 0:40:06.839
<v Speaker 1>me like Washington may be undervalued in this matchup a

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>three and a half point favorite. If I were a

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:12.520
<v Speaker 1>betting man, I'd be inclined to lock up Washington, okay

0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:15.759
<v Speaker 1>and go all in on the Huskies here. I like

0:40:15.840 --> 0:40:19.200
<v Speaker 1>them a lot in the spot. I think Chris Peterson

0:40:19.280 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 1>final game, the whole nine yards thirty three points give

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 1>me the Huskies to win and win by about ten

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to eleven points.

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Do you think that there is a let's win this

0:40:30.719 --> 0:40:35.960
<v Speaker 2>for Coach Peterson elements in the Vegas Bowl, Like I understand,

0:40:35.960 --> 0:40:39.200
<v Speaker 2>if it's happening in the Rose Bowl, it's going out

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:42.480
<v Speaker 2>on a high. Boise State is a very good team.

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:44.799
<v Speaker 2>They did lose to BYU. I think that was with

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.000
<v Speaker 2>Chase Kord starting at quarterback. It was not a Hank

0:40:47.040 --> 0:40:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Bachmeyer or Jalen Henderson project. Sure, yeah, I think Boise

0:40:53.640 --> 0:40:55.600
<v Speaker 2>State is going to struggle with Washington's defense. I think

0:40:55.640 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Jalen Henderson will struggle throwing into the teeth of that defense.

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 2>I worry because I did watch that Oregon Boise State

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Vegas Bowl. When it's happening during we have signing day

0:41:04.920 --> 0:41:07.640
<v Speaker 2>coming up. Coaching transition, Jimmy Lake probably has his hand

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.560
<v Speaker 2>in a bunch of different buckets trying to figure out

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:12.759
<v Speaker 2>the next phase of Washington football. As Chris Peterson is

0:41:12.800 --> 0:41:17.160
<v Speaker 2>still trying to go out beat Boise State. I don't know.

0:41:17.480 --> 0:41:19.839
<v Speaker 2>I went back and forth. Boise State loses Zach Hill,

0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 2>their offensive coordinator. He will not be coaching this game

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.760
<v Speaker 2>as he takes over at Arizona State the same job.

0:41:25.640 --> 0:41:29.359
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm gonna go with. I think I'm gonna

0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:31.920
<v Speaker 2>lean Washington still, I think they're gonna go out on

0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a high. I think they're going to even though they

0:41:34.239 --> 0:41:37.560
<v Speaker 2>ended the season what losing at Colorado, and obviously they're

0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:40.440
<v Speaker 2>always gonna beat Washington State. But yeah, I think I'm

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with Washington here by a few points. I

0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:44.879
<v Speaker 2>just think there are probably too many ways for them

0:41:44.920 --> 0:41:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to win, and I don't think I fully trust Boise

0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:48.240
<v Speaker 2>State's offense.

0:41:49.000 --> 0:41:51.120
<v Speaker 1>The gift suite for the Vegas Bowl should be pretty

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:51.640
<v Speaker 1>damn good.

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:52.920
<v Speaker 2>It should.

0:41:53.080 --> 0:41:54.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it is, but it should.

0:41:54.440 --> 0:41:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Be socks of beanie and a portable charger or what

0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the gift suite at least include. Okay, Also, if you're

0:42:03.440 --> 0:42:05.160
<v Speaker 2>going to this game, if you're a Washington fan or

0:42:05.160 --> 0:42:09.360
<v Speaker 2>a Boise fan, lotus of Siam great Thai food in Vegas,

0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:12.000
<v Speaker 2>off the strip. It's an actual you know, you're not

0:42:12.080 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 2>dealing with the glitz and glamour. I've heard really good

0:42:14.719 --> 0:42:18.080
<v Speaker 2>things about Well, I mean Poc Poc obviously, I've been to.

0:42:18.280 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 2>You can get Hattie Bees. If you're into hot chicken,

0:42:22.160 --> 0:42:24.359
<v Speaker 2>there's a Vegas location. If you want a nice Italian meal,

0:42:24.440 --> 0:42:27.799
<v Speaker 2>Carbone a location of the New York restaurant, you're gonna

0:42:27.800 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 2>eat very well in Vegas. That's it awesome.

0:42:31.760 --> 0:42:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Twenty first, the RNL carriers New Orleans Bowl.

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm.

0:42:38.080 --> 0:42:40.480
<v Speaker 1>It's on ESPN. It is app state at twelve to one.

0:42:40.520 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 1>It is UAB the Blazers at nine and four. App

0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:50.680
<v Speaker 1>State is a healthy, a meaty, a voluptuous, seventeen point favorite.

0:42:50.760 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Dan Yeah, no Eli Drinkwitz. Though, no Eli Drinkwitz. He's

0:42:54.960 --> 0:42:59.239
<v Speaker 1>off to Missouri. This is one of those situations where

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I go against the formula because I think app State's like,

0:43:03.120 --> 0:43:08.280
<v Speaker 1>way better here, way better. The UAB offense is capital

0:43:08.320 --> 0:43:12.200
<v Speaker 1>be bad. The app State defense is pretty good. They've

0:43:12.239 --> 0:43:15.399
<v Speaker 1>been solid all year. They've been solid all year every

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:18.719
<v Speaker 1>year for the last like eight years. This point, I've

0:43:18.719 --> 0:43:21.319
<v Speaker 1>got forty points on app State. I don't think there's

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:24.319
<v Speaker 1>any need to overthink it here. I would not lay

0:43:24.360 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 1>the seventeen points. That's a lot in bowl season when

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:30.239
<v Speaker 1>things tend to get a little wonky. But in terms

0:43:30.239 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>of an outright victor, give me the Mountaineers, let's put

0:43:33.800 --> 0:43:34.719
<v Speaker 1>forty points on it.

0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the quarterback edge obviously goes to app State. I'm

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:41.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna go with app State big here as well. UAB

0:43:41.440 --> 0:43:45.320
<v Speaker 2>just got demolished in the Conference USA championship game. FAU

0:43:45.480 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 2>just took them out. I think I'm gonna go app

0:43:48.080 --> 0:43:50.680
<v Speaker 2>State and yeah, couple here got it. What's their bull

0:43:50.920 --> 0:43:55.560
<v Speaker 2>gift situation here in the New Orleans was RNL Carriers. Yes,

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:58.440
<v Speaker 2>it's I just see a gift suite that includes a

0:43:58.480 --> 0:44:04.520
<v Speaker 2>fossil watch. Okay, so there you go. Yeah, go to

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:07.680
<v Speaker 2>uh Koshan or Koshan Butcher, anywhere you go to eat

0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in New Orlean. It's gonna be great. It's just it's

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:11.520
<v Speaker 2>a bummer that it's not happening during crawfish season.

0:44:12.560 --> 0:44:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to December twenty third.

0:44:16.400 --> 0:44:19.040
<v Speaker 2>The bad boy meer is Gasparria bo.

0:44:20.239 --> 0:44:24.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's on ESPN. It is UCF at nine and three.

0:44:25.360 --> 0:44:29.640
<v Speaker 1>It is Marshall at eight and four. UCF is a

0:44:30.000 --> 0:44:32.920
<v Speaker 1>seventeen point favorite. Here. This is my big guy by

0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 1>the way, this guy, oh, this is my forty one pointer.

0:44:37.840 --> 0:44:42.120
<v Speaker 1>You know. Like the Marshall defense isn't bad. It's not bad.

0:44:42.160 --> 0:44:46.520
<v Speaker 1>They only lost fourteen to seven to Boise back in

0:44:46.560 --> 0:44:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Week two, but that was a week after Boise knocked

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.320
<v Speaker 1>off Florida State, So a bit of a letdown spot

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:57.600
<v Speaker 1>for the Broncos, and just specifically with this matchup. Marshall

0:44:57.680 --> 0:45:01.239
<v Speaker 1>has not seen an offense like UCF, not even close, right,

0:45:01.760 --> 0:45:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I think that offense overpowers Marshall. I don't think they

0:45:05.280 --> 0:45:10.640
<v Speaker 1>can score with UCF. Again, I look at seventeen normally

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:14.960
<v Speaker 1>that puts me off. In bowl season, I think UCF

0:45:15.040 --> 0:45:18.600
<v Speaker 1>is three or four touchdowns better here. I like them big.

0:45:19.160 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I like him to the tune of forty one confidence points.

0:45:23.160 --> 0:45:25.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I have had like forty four to twenty. I

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 2>think they should win comfortably. Under reported story. I mean,

0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 2>UCF had a pretty good season. They finished nine to three,

0:45:32.040 --> 0:45:33.920
<v Speaker 2>but when they were rolling, especially at home in the

0:45:33.920 --> 0:45:36.200
<v Speaker 2>game is what the game's in Tampa, so not terribly

0:45:36.200 --> 0:45:40.840
<v Speaker 2>difficult to get to from Orlando. The defense for UCF

0:45:40.840 --> 0:45:44.480
<v Speaker 2>this year a great havoc d and on offense, Dylan

0:45:44.480 --> 0:45:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Gabriel is the name. Obviously, people have come to learn

0:45:46.800 --> 0:45:49.040
<v Speaker 2>over the course of the season. So the Dylan Gabriel

0:45:49.120 --> 0:45:53.440
<v Speaker 2>to Gabriel Davis Gabriel to Gabriel connection very strong and Marshall,

0:45:53.480 --> 0:45:56.360
<v Speaker 2>You're right it was. There are some impressive performances and

0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:59.399
<v Speaker 2>wins and losses from Thundering Herd. They finished the season

0:45:59.400 --> 0:46:03.200
<v Speaker 2>winning six of seven. Brendan knox Worth watching for the Herd,

0:46:03.719 --> 0:46:06.760
<v Speaker 2>but ultimately UCF I think just too talented, too fast,

0:46:06.800 --> 0:46:07.800
<v Speaker 2>too all over the place.

0:46:08.800 --> 0:46:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I agree.

0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Also, the gasp Gift suite includes n slash A. No, really,

0:46:20.360 --> 0:46:21.960
<v Speaker 2>that's that's all I'm saying here.

0:46:23.000 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Bad boy mowers?

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:26.719
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a riding mower for year backyard?

0:46:27.200 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>I have a Toro push mower. Toro not a sponsor.

0:46:30.680 --> 0:46:33.200
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel like you would qualify, Like, are you

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.040
<v Speaker 2>a bad boy mower or are you just kind of

0:46:36.040 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 2>a good guy mower?

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm prop well, I'm probably more of a good guy mower. Yeah,

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a little too square to be a bad boy mower

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:44.120
<v Speaker 1>type of guy.

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Are there bad boy mowers on your block? Like, I'm

0:46:47.400 --> 0:46:50.319
<v Speaker 2>not talking about the actual brand? Oh, we have out there.

0:46:50.360 --> 0:46:52.919
<v Speaker 1>There's a guy who lives Catty Corner for me who

0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:57.320
<v Speaker 1>exclusively mows his lawn at night with the headlight on

0:46:57.320 --> 0:46:58.200
<v Speaker 1>on his riding mower.

0:46:58.880 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, and.

0:46:59.640 --> 0:47:02.280
<v Speaker 1>The thing, the thing is actually quite impressive. It zips

0:47:02.320 --> 0:47:04.439
<v Speaker 1>around the yard at what feels like thirty miles an hour,

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:07.040
<v Speaker 1>so he gets it done in no time. But he

0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:10.880
<v Speaker 1>only does it exclusively after let's say eight pm. Next game,

0:47:11.440 --> 0:47:16.279
<v Speaker 1>let's jump ahead to Christmas Eve. Dan, Okay, I'd love

0:47:16.320 --> 0:47:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Sofi Hawaii Bowl. They play it in Hawaii.

0:47:21.400 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 1>It features Hawaii. It is BYU at seven and five.

0:47:25.280 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It is why at nine and five, BYU is a

0:47:29.400 --> 0:47:32.480
<v Speaker 1>point and a half favorite. Was looking a little bit

0:47:32.520 --> 0:47:36.680
<v Speaker 1>through BYU's resume. Dan, Yeah, what a weird year. Really

0:47:36.680 --> 0:47:40.680
<v Speaker 1>weird year, right, h I remember we were talking about

0:47:40.680 --> 0:47:44.600
<v Speaker 1>this team, like, uh, don't sleep on BYU. They beat Tennessee,

0:47:46.040 --> 0:47:49.080
<v Speaker 1>they beat usc they beat Boise State. Those are three

0:47:49.239 --> 0:47:53.040
<v Speaker 1>quality wins. Correct, Maybe not as quality as we thought

0:47:53.080 --> 0:47:56.799
<v Speaker 1>at the beginning part of the year. But nonetheless, they

0:47:56.800 --> 0:47:59.839
<v Speaker 1>also played and lost to Utah. They played and got

0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:02.520
<v Speaker 1>mauled by Washington. It was a hell of a stretch

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:05.040
<v Speaker 1>for them, Yeah, in the early part of the season.

0:48:05.080 --> 0:48:07.759
<v Speaker 1>But still to go seven and five knowing that they

0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:10.160
<v Speaker 1>had that kind of AMMO on the schedule, I think

0:48:10.239 --> 0:48:15.319
<v Speaker 1>is is notable. This is obviously a home game for Hawaii, yes,

0:48:15.360 --> 0:48:18.760
<v Speaker 1>but keep in mind that BYU has a strong tradition

0:48:19.160 --> 0:48:23.000
<v Speaker 1>pulling talent from the Pacific Islands, so maybe not quite

0:48:23.560 --> 0:48:26.360
<v Speaker 1>as big a home field advantage as you might think.

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:27.759
<v Speaker 1>I think by is pretty good.

0:48:29.280 --> 0:48:32.320
<v Speaker 2>BYU is decent enough. Their defense I think is ahead

0:48:32.360 --> 0:48:34.440
<v Speaker 2>of their offense. They've had, you know, injury issues at

0:48:34.480 --> 0:48:39.719
<v Speaker 2>quarterback these past couple of years. Yeah, I'm gonna go

0:48:39.719 --> 0:48:42.759
<v Speaker 2>with BYU close here because they appear to be a

0:48:42.800 --> 0:48:45.520
<v Speaker 2>little bit more balanced, you know, even beating Utah State

0:48:45.520 --> 0:48:47.239
<v Speaker 2>and Liberty those are Bowl teams near the end of

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:50.239
<v Speaker 2>the schedule. Hawaii finished the season winning for a five,

0:48:50.320 --> 0:48:54.080
<v Speaker 2>but their defense is the clear worst thing in this agreed,

0:48:54.920 --> 0:48:56.680
<v Speaker 2>and I like that Hawaii they beat at Oregon State

0:48:56.680 --> 0:48:59.279
<v Speaker 2>in Arizona early so they can their hangtime. I don't

0:48:59.320 --> 0:49:03.399
<v Speaker 2>know if you have the sound is pretty decent, so yeah,

0:49:03.400 --> 0:49:07.640
<v Speaker 2>I have by you winning this one close. Also a

0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:10.920
<v Speaker 2>recommendation would be if you're going to this game, I

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:14.640
<v Speaker 2>don't have a specific restaurant, but try to find whoever

0:49:14.719 --> 0:49:18.920
<v Speaker 2>serves the best loco moco. Do you know what that is? Locomotive,

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:25.680
<v Speaker 2>loco space mocho, no idea. Loco mocho is very popular

0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.000
<v Speaker 2>in Hawaii. So it's a plate of I guess, steamed rice.

0:49:29.040 --> 0:49:33.440
<v Speaker 2>There's lots of variations, but steamed rice and then a

0:49:33.480 --> 0:49:37.560
<v Speaker 2>hamburger patty and then gravy on top of that, and

0:49:37.600 --> 0:49:40.200
<v Speaker 2>then a Frida egg on top of that. Okay, So

0:49:40.280 --> 0:49:43.080
<v Speaker 2>if you go out and really you really enjoy some

0:49:43.160 --> 0:49:46.840
<v Speaker 2>tiki bars or whatever you're doing, BYU fans, I'm guessing

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:51.799
<v Speaker 2>won't be that hungover right, just a guess. But if

0:49:51.800 --> 0:49:53.800
<v Speaker 2>you're going to this game you feel like some Loco Moco,

0:49:53.880 --> 0:49:56.080
<v Speaker 2>even if it's not a hangover here, I say go

0:49:56.200 --> 0:49:58.760
<v Speaker 2>for it. Loco Mocho delicious.

0:49:59.120 --> 0:50:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I got twenty on BYU. I think it may also

0:50:01.800 --> 0:50:02.240
<v Speaker 1>be close.

0:50:03.440 --> 0:50:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I would go lower twenties, higher teens, Okay, but we

0:50:07.360 --> 0:50:11.440
<v Speaker 2>agree yes. And gift wise the Hawaii Bowl, I'm seeing

0:50:12.760 --> 0:50:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Kahala Aloha shirt great needs sense, need that Oakley backpack

0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:22.560
<v Speaker 2>and sunglasses, performance tea, beach towel, and surf trunks. I

0:50:22.600 --> 0:50:25.279
<v Speaker 2>think we've talked about this in years past. I am

0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:27.959
<v Speaker 2>going to eventually be a Hawaiian shirts or at least

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Hawaiian shirt adjacent type person. Sure in my fifties. Yeah,

0:50:32.880 --> 0:50:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I could see that. I could see that. Yeah.

0:50:35.600 --> 0:50:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Also, you get to go to Hawaii if you're in

0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:41.759
<v Speaker 1>this two, which is pretty cool. Final two games here,

0:50:42.200 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to December the twenty six That is the

0:50:44.840 --> 0:50:50.160
<v Speaker 1>walk Ons Independence Bowl on ESPN. The Miami Hurricanes are

0:50:50.480 --> 0:50:53.200
<v Speaker 1>six and six and a six and a half point

0:50:53.239 --> 0:50:57.320
<v Speaker 1>favorite over Louisiana Tech, which closed out the year at

0:50:57.440 --> 0:51:02.520
<v Speaker 1>nine and three. So I have two sets of numbers

0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:07.000
<v Speaker 1>that helped me figure out point spreads, and in both

0:51:07.160 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 1>cases it should be Miami by at least ten points.

0:51:12.960 --> 0:51:14.800
<v Speaker 1>The fact that it is down to six six and

0:51:14.840 --> 0:51:17.680
<v Speaker 1>a half is a little curious to me. Yeah, I

0:51:17.680 --> 0:51:20.440
<v Speaker 1>feel like the line is speaking to us here. And

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:24.120
<v Speaker 1>the other thing that I would add is, I know

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:27.400
<v Speaker 1>it's tempting to look at the records of the teams playing.

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the records here are very misleading. Miami clearly

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:34.480
<v Speaker 1>limped to the finish. They finished six and six on

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 1>the year, really died down the stretch and losing to

0:51:38.360 --> 0:51:42.280
<v Speaker 1>FIU and Duke and goodsecutive weeks. But the other games

0:51:42.320 --> 0:51:47.440
<v Speaker 1>they lost against Florida, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech.

0:51:47.480 --> 0:51:51.520
<v Speaker 1>We're all very close. If not for their collapse, this

0:51:51.640 --> 0:51:54.479
<v Speaker 1>is probably an eight and four caliber team, all right,

0:51:54.600 --> 0:51:55.880
<v Speaker 1>And I know you could say that about a lot

0:51:55.920 --> 0:51:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of teams, but I just I feel like Miami is

0:51:57.920 --> 0:52:00.799
<v Speaker 1>better than that six and six mark. And on the

0:52:00.880 --> 0:52:04.239
<v Speaker 1>Louisiana Tech side, I think almost the exact opposite. This

0:52:04.320 --> 0:52:07.800
<v Speaker 1>is more like a seven and five team, and without

0:52:07.840 --> 0:52:11.239
<v Speaker 1>the offense that they've had in recent memory, I think

0:52:11.280 --> 0:52:14.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a struggle bus for them to move the ball

0:52:14.120 --> 0:52:17.640
<v Speaker 1>against still a really good Miami defense. So I like

0:52:17.719 --> 0:52:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the Canes here. I grappled with this one a lot,

0:52:20.800 --> 0:52:24.200
<v Speaker 1>but wow, gonna go Caines, gonna go thirty four confidence

0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:26.640
<v Speaker 1>points and I'm not gonna think twice about it. So

0:52:26.680 --> 0:52:29.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to take exception with a couple of points

0:52:29.840 --> 0:52:33.799
<v Speaker 1>you made about Miami. Okay, Uh, losing to Georgia Tech

0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:35.200
<v Speaker 1>close is not admirable.

0:52:36.080 --> 0:52:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay. Georgia Tech are full on not good this year.

0:52:39.760 --> 0:52:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Fair one might even call them bad in one of

0:52:42.800 --> 0:52:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Collins and I presume that they're going to improve,

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:48.960
<v Speaker 2>but you shouldn't if you're Miami, even in your own

0:52:49.040 --> 0:52:50.840
<v Speaker 2>year one, you shouldn't be losing in this version of

0:52:50.880 --> 0:52:51.479
<v Speaker 2>George Tech.

0:52:51.600 --> 0:52:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:52:52.080 --> 0:52:55.160
<v Speaker 2>So there is a very six and six elements of

0:52:55.160 --> 0:52:58.840
<v Speaker 2>what Miami put forth onto the football field this season.

0:52:58.840 --> 0:53:02.200
<v Speaker 2>As good as their defense was and is and looked

0:53:02.200 --> 0:53:04.040
<v Speaker 2>at most times of the season, I know they had

0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:06.600
<v Speaker 2>some coverage bus and gave up some bigger plays, but

0:53:07.600 --> 0:53:10.560
<v Speaker 2>you know the quarterback position, you have offensive line improvement

0:53:10.760 --> 0:53:13.719
<v Speaker 2>and collapse and all sorts of just it was such

0:53:13.760 --> 0:53:17.160
<v Speaker 2>an inconsistent year almost quarter to quarter or drive to

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:22.040
<v Speaker 2>drive six and six feels pretty appropriate. You take some

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:24.080
<v Speaker 2>good you take some bad and there it is Miami.

0:53:24.320 --> 0:53:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Miami is six and six, louisianattach. They did not finish

0:53:28.280 --> 0:53:30.680
<v Speaker 2>the season well themselves. They lose to Marshall and UAB,

0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:33.799
<v Speaker 2>two teams that are fine, but if you want to

0:53:33.880 --> 0:53:37.160
<v Speaker 2>hang with a good defense, that's troublesome. I just think

0:53:37.200 --> 0:53:39.440
<v Speaker 2>there is an element of Miami wanting the season to

0:53:39.440 --> 0:53:42.080
<v Speaker 2>be over once again. And with that line movement, I

0:53:42.120 --> 0:53:44.960
<v Speaker 2>actually do like Louisiana tack actually has a good defense.

0:53:45.040 --> 0:53:48.520
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm gonna take them by a field

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:51.719
<v Speaker 2>goal here. Not a ton of confidence, but I'm feeling it.

0:53:52.239 --> 0:53:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I went back and forth so many times in this game,

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and to take those points, I know, I'm putting it

0:53:57.840 --> 0:54:00.960
<v Speaker 1>out there and I'm gonna take Miami mm hmm, and

0:54:00.960 --> 0:54:03.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put thirty four confidence points on it.

0:54:03.320 --> 0:54:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Have fun.

0:54:03.960 --> 0:54:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't feel good about it because of my final rule,

0:54:06.320 --> 0:54:09.480
<v Speaker 1>which team wants to be there more right? And I

0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:11.880
<v Speaker 1>do agree with you to the extent that with the

0:54:11.960 --> 0:54:15.319
<v Speaker 1>way Miami closed out its year, it really did feel

0:54:15.320 --> 0:54:16.799
<v Speaker 1>like they were just trying to get this thing over with,

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and especially with some of the expectations coming in. Manny

0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Diaz could he reboot the program in year one, right,

0:54:26.760 --> 0:54:30.279
<v Speaker 1>that did not happen, And no, it just is like

0:54:31.440 --> 0:54:32.399
<v Speaker 1>do they want to be there?

0:54:33.239 --> 0:54:36.480
<v Speaker 2>So it's the day after Christmas, Day after Christmas, which

0:54:36.520 --> 0:54:39.759
<v Speaker 2>means they're spending Christmas away from home, whereas the games

0:54:39.800 --> 0:54:44.960
<v Speaker 2>in Shreveport, Louisiana. So maybe masier for Louisiana tech players.

0:54:45.160 --> 0:54:48.919
<v Speaker 2>They're celebrating Christmas to be with family, a better place emotionally.

0:54:50.920 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 2>The gift suite includes timely watch companies, watch a Beanie,

0:54:55.680 --> 0:54:59.279
<v Speaker 2>A History of the Bulls, I assume book. Yeah, it's

0:54:59.320 --> 0:55:03.359
<v Speaker 2>celebrating the good of the game and a football and

0:55:03.440 --> 0:55:06.080
<v Speaker 2>by the way, walk Ons there's an there's a what

0:55:06.160 --> 0:55:08.319
<v Speaker 2>is an apostrophe before the s, so that means it's

0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:13.160
<v Speaker 2>somebody it's it's the walk Ons bar. Yeah, it's a

0:55:13.200 --> 0:55:16.880
<v Speaker 2>singular person. Uh. It's also bistro with an eau x,

0:55:17.160 --> 0:55:20.839
<v Speaker 2>which annoys me to no end, Okay, for no real

0:55:20.880 --> 0:55:24.839
<v Speaker 2>good reason. So I don't know, man, I think I'm

0:55:24.920 --> 0:55:27.640
<v Speaker 2>things are tilting. Things are tilting tech for me.

0:55:28.640 --> 0:55:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Ah, I might change my mind on this one.

0:55:31.160 --> 0:55:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Thirty four points on the twenty nineteen Miami team. I know,

0:55:34.280 --> 0:55:36.920
<v Speaker 2>certainly I know a way to go about life. I

0:55:36.920 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know how far away Rustin is from Shreveport, but

0:55:39.200 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I imagine it's closer than Miami.

0:55:40.760 --> 0:55:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like eating something late at night that just repeats

0:55:43.440 --> 0:55:47.880
<v Speaker 1>on you. Miami thirty four points, Miami thirty four point. Yes, okay,

0:55:48.680 --> 0:55:50.600
<v Speaker 1>I reserved the right to change my mind on that one.

0:55:50.680 --> 0:55:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Okay final game Quicklane Bowl, Oh, Okay, Quicklane Bowl. Also

0:55:56.520 --> 0:56:00.359
<v Speaker 1>in the twenty sixth, also on ESPN, about an hour

0:56:00.440 --> 0:56:04.719
<v Speaker 1>away Rustin, Louisiana, Oka. It is Pitt at seven and five.

0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:07.200
<v Speaker 1>It is Eastern Michigan at six and six. Pitt is

0:56:07.239 --> 0:56:11.400
<v Speaker 1>an eleven point favorite. I looked at the numbers. It

0:56:11.560 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 1>seems like a pretty big mismatch here, and if I

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.040
<v Speaker 1>were a betting man, I think I'd lay the points.

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeling a big game for Kenny Pickett. I like

0:56:20.120 --> 0:56:25.480
<v Speaker 1>his ability to capitalize on a very weak Eastern Michigan secondary.

0:56:27.000 --> 0:56:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Let me Pitt, give me thirty six points.

0:56:29.560 --> 0:56:32.320
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people feel like Pitt was right there

0:56:32.600 --> 0:56:35.160
<v Speaker 2>about to score against Virginia Tech and it just never

0:56:35.200 --> 0:56:37.960
<v Speaker 2>happened because they got their asses shut out. They were

0:56:38.040 --> 0:56:40.360
<v Speaker 2>right there in that twenty eight nothing. They were, you know,

0:56:40.440 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 2>knocking on the door of points. They lost two of

0:56:43.080 --> 0:56:45.840
<v Speaker 2>three after their second by the pitt Panthers did, including

0:56:45.880 --> 0:56:49.399
<v Speaker 2>that shutout. It's a stud defense though their defensive line

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:52.080
<v Speaker 2>is so good. Jalen twineman hell of a story, hell

0:56:52.120 --> 0:56:55.200
<v Speaker 2>of an alignment. So there is something to I mean,

0:56:55.520 --> 0:56:57.520
<v Speaker 2>if there's anything to love in this game, and if

0:56:57.520 --> 0:57:00.200
<v Speaker 2>there's any singular reason to watch this game. When you

0:57:00.200 --> 0:57:02.759
<v Speaker 2>say it's a quicklane bowl, quicklane Bowl, yeah, it's it's

0:57:02.840 --> 0:57:06.000
<v Speaker 2>pit up front. They are just filthy. They get after quarterbacks.

0:57:06.040 --> 0:57:10.120
<v Speaker 2>They shut down teams passing, and Eastern Michigan is a

0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:12.000
<v Speaker 2>passing team. They're an efficient passing team. I don't know

0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:14.200
<v Speaker 2>how much more they are than that. They finish six

0:57:14.280 --> 0:57:16.800
<v Speaker 2>and six, and you know, Chris Creighton, it's always gonna

0:57:16.800 --> 0:57:19.960
<v Speaker 2>be a good story to get Eastern Michigan to where

0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:22.400
<v Speaker 2>they are as a bowl team from where they were.

0:57:23.520 --> 0:57:27.080
<v Speaker 2>It's actually this the gift suite includes in this one,

0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I am taking pit, but I think I don't feel

0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 2>great confidence about them because I don't love their offense.

0:57:33.120 --> 0:57:36.200
<v Speaker 2>A Best Buy gift card at JBL E five five

0:57:36.320 --> 0:57:42.000
<v Speaker 2>BT over ear wireless headphones by Harmon Sticker Genius life

0:57:42.000 --> 0:57:46.960
<v Speaker 2>size photo slap decal for each participant of his likeness. Beautiful,

0:57:47.280 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 2>so some sort of you know, you can throw it

0:57:49.640 --> 0:57:51.560
<v Speaker 2>on a wall or whatever your own face. Who doesn't

0:57:51.600 --> 0:57:54.840
<v Speaker 2>like that? A hoodie, a T shirt, a palm hat.

0:57:54.920 --> 0:57:56.320
<v Speaker 2>I think that's like a beanie with a little palm

0:57:56.360 --> 0:57:59.959
<v Speaker 2>on top, a backpack in tag football, and a mini helmet.

0:58:00.480 --> 0:58:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Quick Lane coming in with a huge buy here Detroit. Yeah,

0:58:04.080 --> 0:58:07.440
<v Speaker 2>good for them. There's good food in Detroit. I've had Buddies,

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:09.760
<v Speaker 2>which is the famous Detroit pizza place, and you can

0:58:09.840 --> 0:58:13.200
<v Speaker 2>get your cony islands. You're sort of like chili adjacent dogs.

0:58:15.200 --> 0:58:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't have a speci.

0:58:15.960 --> 0:58:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm going on a limb that there aren't a whole

0:58:17.600 --> 0:58:19.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of our listeners going to the quick Lane Bowl,

0:58:19.600 --> 0:58:21.480
<v Speaker 1>but I could be wrong.

0:58:21.920 --> 0:58:24.240
<v Speaker 2>That's so. I mean, I think we have Pitt listeners.

0:58:24.400 --> 0:58:25.760
<v Speaker 1>We have a lot of Detroit listeners.

0:58:25.760 --> 0:58:28.760
<v Speaker 2>I know that we do have Detroit listeners, and Troit's

0:58:28.760 --> 0:58:31.240
<v Speaker 2>a fun time. I've enjoyed my time in Detroit. So yeah,

0:58:31.280 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Pitt here. Also, Ty,

0:58:33.960 --> 0:58:36.000
<v Speaker 2>it should be noted if we're gonna talk about Pitt

0:58:36.000 --> 0:58:41.320
<v Speaker 2>having a really fun angry defense and disappointing offense, It's

0:58:41.360 --> 0:58:46.200
<v Speaker 2>been an unbelievable year for head coaches with really strong

0:58:46.280 --> 0:58:49.160
<v Speaker 2>defensive bona fides not being able to figure out what

0:58:49.200 --> 0:58:52.480
<v Speaker 2>to do with your team on offense. So between Derek

0:58:52.520 --> 0:58:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Mason and Vanderbilt between let's see Pat Fitzgerald, Will must Champ,

0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm swelling through a patn oardoozy obviously is the illusion there.

0:59:04.600 --> 0:59:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking Rocky long at San Diego State, Justin Wilcox

0:59:08.120 --> 0:59:12.000
<v Speaker 2>at Cal he had injuries to deal with, Mark D'Antonio

0:59:12.080 --> 0:59:16.600
<v Speaker 2>at Michigan State, Gary Patterson at TCU. It's boom times tie.

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:19.040
<v Speaker 2>If you have a strong defensive background and you can't

0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:21.720
<v Speaker 2>really figure out your own team's offense. All right, there

0:59:21.760 --> 0:59:24.880
<v Speaker 2>you go, Barry otum missouf you're on offense.

0:59:25.000 --> 0:59:31.360

<v Speaker 2>Solid peace in front of me. I have a flyer.

1:01:32.480 --> 1:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>It's more of a package. You hear.

1:01:34.440 --> 1:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I can hear the paper.

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:35.840
<v Speaker 2>You can hear it.

1:01:35.880 --> 1:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yep.

1:01:36.600 --> 1:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not going to say where this is from,

1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:43.880
<v Speaker 2>but it is a supermarket chain, a national chain, which

1:01:43.920 --> 1:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you have said is not your favorite, even though you

1:01:46.960 --> 1:01:48.240
<v Speaker 2>don't have it near you.

1:01:48.320 --> 1:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>It's Trader Joe's.

1:01:50.040 --> 1:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm not They're not a sponsor. It's not a sponsor

1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:56.520
<v Speaker 2>that's coming out of your paycheck. I have featured products

1:01:56.640 --> 1:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>and you just tell me if they if they're Molana

1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:02.400
<v Speaker 2>or not Molana. People hate that game, I know, but

1:02:02.520 --> 1:02:07.240
<v Speaker 2>some people love it. So Triple Ginger Brew so an

1:02:07.280 --> 1:02:12.000
<v Speaker 2>extra gingery tasting ginger ale. That sounds pretty good to you.

1:02:12.200 --> 1:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I've had that and it's actually pretty good.

1:02:14.520 --> 1:02:18.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is pretty good. Yeah. Hold the cone, which

1:02:19.000 --> 1:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>is a dessert where it's basically instead of a full

1:02:21.280 --> 1:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>ice cream cone. It's like two thirds the size. The

1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>ice cream is just contained within and then the top

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.280
<v Speaker 2>is covered in chocolate, so it's like a more of

1:02:29.320 --> 1:02:31.600
<v Speaker 2>a bite sized ice cream cone situation.

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I would consider eating that.

1:02:33.360 --> 1:02:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Vanilla, chocolate or peppermint flavors available, gingerbread coffee. No, you're

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>out on chocolate lava niocchi. Uh how does it turned

1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:46.800
<v Speaker 2>to that?

1:02:46.920 --> 1:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>No? Ty, see you're intrigued. But see what I mean exactly?

1:02:52.040 --> 1:02:55.640
<v Speaker 1>No ingredients that don't belong. No, well, this is this

1:02:55.720 --> 1:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>is a breakthrough, a culinary breakthrough.

1:02:58.160 --> 1:03:01.800
<v Speaker 2>What's it called again? Chocolate lava and the okie?

1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I am curious, I am curious, curious.

1:03:05.120 --> 1:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's go with mozzarella. What is that?

1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea.

1:03:14.040 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>A slice of low moisture mozzarella that's hand rolled with

1:03:16.840 --> 1:03:22.040
<v Speaker 2>a slice of high quality Deli meats preshudo not for me.

1:03:22.360 --> 1:03:27.880
<v Speaker 2>No mazza. Bacon wrapped scallops, I'm not a bacon has

1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:29.560
<v Speaker 2>a brown sugar glaze on it.

1:03:30.320 --> 1:03:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I love bacon, but I'm not big on scalops.

1:03:33.200 --> 1:03:35.600
<v Speaker 2>So that you are not a moana on the No? No,

1:03:35.760 --> 1:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>are you big on truffle items? Ummm, I won't say

1:03:40.120 --> 1:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>big on truffle items. Okay, very big cheese bites with truffle.

1:03:46.400 --> 1:03:48.080
<v Speaker 2>I like cheese bites. Sure. Do you know what a

1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:51.680
<v Speaker 2>stroop waffle is? No idea. A stroop waffle is a

1:03:51.720 --> 1:03:55.880
<v Speaker 2>thinly pressed waffle cookie type thing, and they make a

1:03:56.000 --> 1:03:58.760
<v Speaker 2>thin cookie waffle cookie sandwich a little bit of caramel

1:03:58.760 --> 1:04:00.520
<v Speaker 2>in between both of those layers.

1:04:00.720 --> 1:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm familiar with Italian pitzels, which sounds somewhat similar but

1:04:05.640 --> 1:04:06.760
<v Speaker 1>are probably thinner.

1:04:08.320 --> 1:04:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, so you would be in on that though.

1:04:10.960 --> 1:04:15.440
<v Speaker 2>A strop waffle with caramel, okay, sure. A festive chocolate collection,

1:04:16.240 --> 1:04:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean chocolate, so sure, Horse radish and shive ridge

1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:22.320
<v Speaker 2>cut potato chips sounds great to me.

1:04:23.040 --> 1:04:24.920
<v Speaker 1>That sounds like it could be tough to put down.

1:04:25.160 --> 1:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that could.

1:04:26.920 --> 1:04:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Bacon wrapped porketta roast, No idea what that is?

1:04:30.520 --> 1:04:33.320
<v Speaker 2>You don't know what porketta is. It's like a rolled

1:04:33.560 --> 1:04:36.440
<v Speaker 2>side of pork. Gotta be pork, right, Yes, it's a

1:04:36.560 --> 1:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>rolled side of pork that you slice and generally you

1:04:38.800 --> 1:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>put it into sandwich form. Yeah, I'm out. Okay, that

1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>sounds reasonable though, doesn't it. Yeah?

1:04:46.080 --> 1:04:51.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I was talking specifically about the pre made section

1:04:51.560 --> 1:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I know who you are.

1:04:52.320 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm referring to. We got strip waffle ice

1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:59.960
<v Speaker 2>cream sandwiches. Ty, they're all in on stroup waffles. Okay,

1:05:00.560 --> 1:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>French onion soup bites with caramelized onion and Swiss cheese.

1:05:05.440 --> 1:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I like French onion soup. I don't know how you

1:05:07.200 --> 1:05:08.480
<v Speaker 1>put that in bite size form.

1:05:09.600 --> 1:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Hum. It's a pliable doughe wrapper, so you get it's

1:05:14.440 --> 1:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>almost like a soup dumpling tie.

1:05:16.800 --> 1:05:17.520
