Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this has been a very flat drive.

25
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 5: It also feels like we've been awake for about ninety

26
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,279
Speaker 5: two hours straight since we're up very early this morning.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 3: So okay, let's rewind.

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 7: So it is about three o'clock local time somewhere between

29
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 7: Minneapolis and Fargo. Very flat, very very flat, extremely flat,

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 7: and you've spent the night in my apartment. I did,

31
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 7: slept on the couch. We got up around four am

32
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 7: and went to LaGuardia, flew to Minneapolis. We got we

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 7: got breakfast brunch with the podcast or friend of ours.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: It was very good. It was.

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 7: It was the thickest bacon you and I have ever

36
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 7: consumed together. It was, yeah, yeah, it was. It was

37
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 7: about as thick as Derrick Henry's styles. Wow, very very thick.

38
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 7: It's almost like you had that comparison prepared.

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: I didn't. Actually, this is what the road, the open

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: road does to me. I like this. I like tie

41
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 3: out of PA is something to behold. It is it is.

42

43
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: Though. Please people enjoy a good.

44
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 5: Travel story or a good travel horror story. Uh huh,

45
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 5: can you just give me a good forty five seconds?

46
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 5: And what went on next to you on the plane? Oh?

47
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, the the DMZ was approached. There's a there's an

48
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 7: unspoken agreement that the arm rests is a is a

49
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 7: nice border setting. And the woman next to me, the

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 7: arm rest went up to like a forty five degree angle,

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 7: and there was there was some beyond b action there tie. Yeah,

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 7: there was some beyond the action that was not my favorite.

53
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 7: You're very uncomfortable with that, Yeah, it was. It was

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 7: just unexpected. Yeah, I like my space. About a three

55
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 7: hour flight. We are here, as time mentioned because what

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 7: started as a being amused by Patriot League football and

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 7: appreciating it in our own way turned into oh no, Colgiate's.

58
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 3: Actually really good, really really.

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 7: Good, and then they upset James Madison. You jokingly start

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 7: tweeting live show from Fargo in all caps, and then

61
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 7: or maybe you texted me that. We alluded to it

62
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 7: on the show. More Twitter weirdness ensued, with the ESPN

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 7: wanting us to come and telling us we should be

64
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 7: on the sidelines, which is not happening. But we talked

65
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 7: and we said, you know what, screwt, Let's go to Fargo.

66
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 7: I've never been a Fargo. You've never been a Fargo.

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 7: They have a dome, they do. It's not the KIDVI Dome,

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 7: but it's a dome and we should be there in

69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 7: a couple of hours. The plan tonight is to meet

70
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 7: up with the the pals we have at ESPN covering

71
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 7: the game, and we're gonna go curling. Curling allegedly, we'll

72
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 7: see if it actually happens. I've never been currying. We

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 7: have the apparel to go curling, absolutely, we don't. Have

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 7: you been curling? Have you been a curling rink.

75
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 5: I've played shuffle board and I've been to an ice rink, right,

76
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 5: never doing both at the same time.

77
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 7: Okay, I am definitely not somebody with curling experience, and

78
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 7: we're just gonna see how we do. My guess is

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 7: poorly but in an entertaining way, also potentially tearing our groins. Yeah, well,

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 7: I mean that's always on the table, right, And then

81
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 7: we're gonna wake up early tomorrow morning. We're gonna go

82
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 7: tailgate in eleven degree weather. We're gonna take an uncomfortable

83
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 7: picture with short sleeves and nothing else on in a

84
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 7: porky picket, right, and then we're gonna go in for

85
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 7: some good old fashioned college football and watch.

86
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 3: The Raiders and the Bison play. Can I just interject

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 3: for one moment, I'm ready.

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: We were just passed by a gentleman with a North

89
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 5: Dakota license plate driving what appears to be a Super

90
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 5: U outback wearing a cowboy hat.

91
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 3: That's wearing a cowboy hat. Feels Jerry Minnesota.

92
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 5: We're not in North Dakota yet, but he is headed

93
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 5: where we're headed yep, and it feels very on brand.

94
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 3: Super Us are.

95
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 7: Bigger, and I would have figured in terms of popularity.

96
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 7: But I think it's the all wheel driver, the four

97
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 7: wheel drive. It's a versatile smart vehicle. Dan the Korean Australian.

98
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 7: I know they have an outback model. I'm not gonna

99
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 7: look it up.

100
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: I'm just going to assume Australia because of the outbout. Yeah.

101
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 7: So it's pretty flat, it's pretty gray, pretty brown, some

102
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 7: smell on the ground. Yeah, but I'm pumped from some

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 7: Upper Midwest Upper Planes football.

104
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: So what is the plan here.

105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: We're gonna file a couple of these audio logs that

106
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 5: we're gonna eventually stitch together. Yeah, so that people listening

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 5: at home and people who don't live in the Minneapolis

108
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: or Fargo area can kind of ride along with us

109
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: and experience this as we do. Because Dan said we

110
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: don't really have any familiarity with the upper planes, I

111
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: think that's right, and so we're gonna try and do

112
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 5: this chronologically and give people the full experience, even if

113
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: you're unable to be here with.

114
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: Us in person.

115
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, people were very high happy that we were actually

116
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 7: making the trek to Fargo, So why not virtually take

117
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 7: them with us?

118
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: That's my thinking.

119
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 5: If I haven't already mentioned, it is extremely flat at

120
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 5: the current moment.

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 7: You can see for what appears to be just limitless miles. Here,

122
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 7: I see Brian Harson looking west. I see, I see Brian.

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: He's just chilling, just getting ready for the What are

00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,520

Speaker 2: Now?

00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 7: They're in some other Bowl games? Sure, I think it's

127
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 7: Fresno State and Arizona State. So yeah, so far, I

128

131
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,520

00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 7: to appreciate the city of the municipality of Minneapolis.

00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 2: like it was a good burger, a good picnic burger.

159
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

160
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 4: And then we met up with the ESPN crew that

161
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: is calling the game tomorrow happening in thirteen hours, which

162
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: was Kevin Brown who started this whole, not the Dodger

163
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: pitcher right, No, you know what, maybe he has the

164
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: build he does. Kevin Brown, DJ Shockley Georgia Great Georgia,

165
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 4: al Teimer and Cole Kublick Auburn participant now Auburn Alzheimer

166
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 4: as well.

167
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 3: We love call.

168
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: We went curling at a local club about fifteen minutes away,

169
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: a curling club, because that's the kind of thing.

170
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: That exists in Fargo, North Fargo, North Dakota, as it should.

171
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 4: And I had a blast.

172
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: I was not very good.

173
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 4: If you go on the solibrable Instagram, I mean, I

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 4: don't know when you're listening to this, but at some

175
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 4: point I've got it archived.

176
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: You have an archived that you are preserved good.

177
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 3: I'm glad.

178
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 4: Cryogenically we split into teams and we will. We learned

179
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 4: to curl, which is very difficult. There's a stone with

180
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: a handle, right, and you're supposed to one one of

181
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: your shoes has like a slick bottom, the other one

182
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 4: is gripped bottom, and you sort of slide and release

183
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: and two other people. I just burped up some almonds.

184
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 4: Will will brush, will broom will sweep for you. It's

185
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: very people know curling I don't know.

186
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: I think I think our audience is familiar. Yeah, so

187
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: my position are they position?

188
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 3: My role?

189
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: My job, I was the SKIP and I put that

190
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: on the Instagram feed as well. That job, as I

191
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: understand it is to just yell at the top of

192
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: your lungs. And I was talking with DJ because he

193
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: was he was that's right, he was a rival SKIP.

194
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: So it was a bit contentious, but it neither one

195
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: of us really knew what to yell, so we were

196
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: just yelling as loudly as we could. And that's part

197
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 2: of the reason why I now have to drink this

198
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: tea before I go to bed so that I can

199
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: talk tomorrow when we actually meet the people.

200
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: I don't think you're a natural Skip. I did not

201
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 4: hear you as I was sweeping. I thought you were like.

202
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, okay, in fairness, the instructor.

203
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: He was yelling over you.

204
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: That was the test.

205
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 2: Well, it was a test, yeah, but I failed to

206
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 2: test the initial test. Now the next the next few times,

207
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: then I tried to be a little bit more assertive.

208
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: You were better, but I didn't. Again, I didn't know

209
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: what I was yelling.

210
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 4: You lost the locker room early, you really did, and

211
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 4: that's okay, because I thought you were more of a

212
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: natural deliverer. If the person who glides the stone, If.

213
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: If I would have had maybe five more runs at

214
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: delivering the stone, I think I could have been at

215
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: least I'm trying to think of what caliber.

216
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: And you'd be underwhelming. I'd be the least underwhelming. Give

217
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 4: me your impressions of Fargo. So we haven't been to

218
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: the NDSU campus. We have not seen the Fargo Dome.

219
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: We're going bright and early to tailgate and friend, it

220
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,679
Speaker 4: is going to be it is nine degrees when we

221
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: get there.

222
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: I did the math.

223
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 4: I hadn't realized like, oh, yeah, we've got a twelve

224
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: eastern kickoff, that's eleven am. Yeah, so we're going to

225
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: show up a couple hours early and get some some

226
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: tailgating wandering in. It'll be single ish digits, which will

227
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: be a new tailgating. Yeah, experience in and tailgating impressions

228
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: of Fargo thus far. So we're staying in downtown Fargo.

229
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

230
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 2: On the on the ride home and we've driven around

231
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: a little we've driven around a little bit. On the

232
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 2: ride home, we probably went a good five minutes without

233
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 2: seeing any other cars. In the road and that was

234
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: at nine to thirty. Yeah, So I don't know if

235
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 2: it's the cold keeping people indoors or if it's just Fargo,

236
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: but in any case, it's a bit of a ghost

237
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 2: town here at the moment, despite the fact that I

238
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: think we've got the biggest game of the college football

239
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: season in this town.

240
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: It was a season.

241
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's true cold, you know.

242
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 2: In about thirteen hours. As you said, Yeah, you know,

243
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if everyone is just talking in early

244
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: to be prepared mentally. But so that's impression number one.

245
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: Which i'd see as a positive. I love it. That's

246
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 4: fine old.

247
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: Heads at this point. Yeah. Yeah. Impression two is that

248
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: it's very cold, but I think we've already covered that point.

249
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 3: Fine, that's to be expected.

250
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 2: Impression three, it's very quaint. Yeah, it's extremely quaint, and.

251
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 4: It just sort of seems like a small college towns.

252
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 2: It's a very small town. Yeah, but it's it's fine.

253
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: It is not uh, you know, there are no apparently

254
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: the wood Chipper.

255
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 4: Is around, like the Fargo or visitor center.

256
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

257
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like Bleak and you know, Almond is here.

258
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: It's just not very crowded and you know, very very quaint.

259
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: It's a small college town, which just seems like I've

260
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 4: been too many and it seems like another one of them.

261
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 4: And something I did notice when we were driving around,

262
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 4: there has to be a business that installs lights atop

263
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 4: other businesses, because every along the freeway there were probably

264
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: seven or eight places that looked like strip clubs, right,

265
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: but it was just a mattress store, it was just

266
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: a pet hospital, but they had the lighting of strip clubs.

267
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 4: And it's disorienting, but also shout out to whoever performed

268
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: and pulled off that sales job. There's a contractor here

269
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 4: making bank it's and they're not like holiday lights. They're

270
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 4: not Christmas lights, not whatever. They are permanent fixtures. And

271
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 4: it's very confusing, like all of a sudden, I think

272
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 4: I'm in Tampa or something, the Tampa of the upper Plains.

273
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 2: And where the buildings are.

274
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: Positioned to yes, right next to the freeway.

275
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: It's like you could go either way on whether or

276
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: not it's you know, an eatery or a different kind

277
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: of establishment.

278
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: So those are our early impressions of Fargo.

279
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 3: It is.

280
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: Total like I'm looking forward to and this is nothing.

281
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 4: No slight on First of all, I'm looking forward to

282
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 4: the game like crazy. Oh yeah, I haven't been to

283
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 4: a college football game since Oregon Ohio State the National

284
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 4: Championship game has been about twenty fifteen, the very very

285
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: beginning of twenty fifteen, like early January twenty fifteen. I

286
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 4: don't know if we're almost going on four years now. Well,

287
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: because of the show. It's hard because of the show.

288
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: It's hard to go to game, yes, because of work, Yeah,

289
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: all sorts of things. Yeah, I mean actual game. It's

290
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: probably been longer for me.

291
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: You him in Deepenn State or Notre Dame or any

292
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 3: of that. No, it's been a long time.

293
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: I'm excited that it's a game at the Fargo Dome,

294
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 4: which you didn't even realize that, y, you had a dome.

295
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: Full disclosure. Yeah, that's okay, full disclosure. When you said

296
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 2: on the show about the Fargo Dome. Yeah, I just

297
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: assumed it was like that Patriot League.

298
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 3: Gagah, the Tokyo Dome.

299
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: We were talking about, you know, Lehigh playing Georgetown in

300
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: the Tokyo don Stadium as Keeka.

301
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 4: What's what's the one in London is the O two Arena.

302
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: Right, So I just assumed this was another one of

303
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: your guests. But thank Kevin Brown, not the Dodger pitcher,

304
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: but the announcer. He said the Fargo Dome as well,

305
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: And so I wasn't sure if this was just like

306
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: a widespread joke that I hadn't colorble. No, it wasn't

307
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 2: until this week that I googled it right and I

308
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: sent to you on the Super Secret g Chat that

309
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: in fact, oh damn, they do have a dome. That's cool,

310
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: that's very cool.

311
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, see, it's what about twenty thousand?

312
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: I think I think stadium our concert capacity, excuse me,

313
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 2: is twenty four thousand I saw, but it looks like

314
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: the football team gets about eighteen pten.

315
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: There's a good crowd for an FCS. It's a huge crowd.

316
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 4: We were hearing tonight during curling that people will come

317
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 4: up to the head coach, Chris Cleman of NDSU football

318
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 4: and like the supermar currently as we speak today on

319
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: Friday night, the current one he's rumored to be in

320
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 4: the mix for the Kansas State head coaching job, that

321
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: people will come up to him like good luck. This

322
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 4: season we're saving up for tick. It's for Frisco, so

323
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 4: we probably won't see you in person. Until then, it's.

324
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: Assuming a lot. Frisco, by the way, is where they

325
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: play the champions, the National Championship.

326
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, every year in Texas.

327
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 2: So no pressure, Bison.

328
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: Look past the Raiders at your own risk, is all

329
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 4: I'm saying.

330
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 2: This is a second straight week now where an opposing

331
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: head coach is rumored on them two a new job.

332
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 4: So it is, we've been up for a long time.

333
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: We've been up so what it's ten to fifteen. We've

334
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: been up since about what three fifteen our body time

335
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 4: Central time. I need to import some footage. I need

336
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: to sync up some audio and video. I need to

337
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 4: sort of figure out what I want to do Tomorrow.

338
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 4: We have the meet up tomorrow night. Tomorrow's another long day.

339
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: I am.

340
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: I'm excited. I'm gonna get some green tea too. You should,

341
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,800

Speaker 4: The Athletic and is that what you guys?

355
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right, Theathletic dot com slash soliverbal. We

356
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,320

358
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,280

359
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 2: future of journalism, as you've said, timing again Dan, the

00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 3: So come on, no Brainer, you.

376
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: Heard the man. Okay, so you got to import footage.

377
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna import this audio and get ourselves positioned for

378
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: the next couple captain's logs that we enter here. Yes,

379
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: on our trip to Fargo tomorrow or trip back to

380
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: Minneapolis to meet some of reballers and then eventually back

381
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: home to the East Coast. But in the meantime, we're

382
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna do we got to do. We're gonna

383
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 2: get some rest and we'll catch you on the flip side.

384
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: Oh see tomorrow, Saturday, day five, all for in the

385
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: evening somewhere between Minneapolis and Farigo. We can.

386
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 3: All right, we are we are back. We are on

387
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: the road again.

388
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 5: We are and we are no longer virgins to the

389
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 5: North Dakota State football first person viewing experience at the

390
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 5: Fargo Dome.

391
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 7: I was really hoping you went in that direction when

392
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 7: you said we are no longer virgins. This is this

393
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 7: is my headline, and I tweeted this out almost verbatim.

394
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 7: We went to the Fargo Dome and it ruled so so,

395
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 7: so hard. And it's not just because it was a

396
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 7: crazy atmosphere and a really good team. It was unlike

397
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 7: anything I've seen. I heard the ventilation in there because

398
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 7: the crowd was so quiet during the Bisons offensive possessions,

399
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 7: which is what really good fans should do.

400
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: But it was it was a different place. That was

401
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 3: a different place.

402
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 5: Hey, I keep I keep feeling like I want to

403
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 5: say we came, we saw, we kicked its ass, but

404
00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 5: I don't.

405
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: I don't really know what they're doing. No, we did.

406
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 5: We did nothing except walk around and be mildly frozen

407
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: and interview and talk to cool tailgaters who are also

408
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 5: North Dakota State fans. But I said to you while

409
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 5: we were there that I felt like it was part

410
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: college football park monster truck rally.

411
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 3: Yeah it was.

412
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 7: It was definitely a venue that seemed like a rodeo

413
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 7: monster truck. It was a very structured rectangle. It wasn't

414
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 7: like your standard indoor stadium type Dome. But everybody went nuts. Man,

415
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 7: everybody was like, that's the show in town. And you

416
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 7: got that sense, you really did.

417
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 5: And so we saw a bunch of stuff in there

418
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 5: that I'm sure we could talk through here as we're driving.

419
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 5: We got two hours left yet on the hall back

420
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 5: from Fargo to Minneapolis. But let's start here just a

421
00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 5: really really subtle way of asserting dominance. When the PA

422
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 5: announcer comes on starts talking about buying tickets to Frisco,

423
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 5: you reserve your tickets now.

424
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: It might have even been for next year, it may

425
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: have been for twenty twenty.

426
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but start reserve your tickets now to Frisco Texas, where,

427
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: of course, as we said yesterday, they'd play the national

428
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 5: championship on the SCS level. Sort of a rude thing

429
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 5: to do when the team you're playing is just getting vaporized.

430
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 7: So at a certain point, we're just talking about facts, right.

431
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 7: In fact, a certain point, we're just talking about the

432
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 7: fact that they've won five of six or six and

433
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 7: seven national championships, and it just makes good sense that

434
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 7: there is a good chance no matter what happens. I

435
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 7: haven't seen anything with Chris Cimon and the Kansas State

436
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 7: job since we started. No matter what happens with that,

437
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 7: it's just good sense to plan ahead, as we all know.

438
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 7: So when I tweeted that out that it was sort

439
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 7: of an I didn't really think it was. And people

440
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 7: are like, no, that's what's what people do because that's

441
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 7: like an annual trip.

442
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 3: It's like what parent heads do. They go on the

443
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 3: Jimmy Buffett Cruise.

444
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 7: What North Dakota State fans do is they go to

445
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 7: Texas early on in January, so you might as well plan.

446
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 3: Might as well plan it.

447
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's what they're called parentids, right, Jimmy Buffett.

448
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 2: I believe so.

449
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 3: I believe so.

450
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 5: My other takeaway from the Fargo Dome is it's really

451
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 5: freaking loud in there, but only what it wants to be, right, Yeah,

452
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 5: that's what we were saying. Yeah, you mentioned it a

453
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 5: few minutes ago, only what it wants to be.

454
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: When Colgate was on offense, that place was like a

455
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 6: metallic concert.

456
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 5: When North Dakota State was on offense. You could hear

457
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 5: a pin drop, you could hear the ventilation system at

458
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 5: the roof.

459
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 7: You're very proposed to somebody across the stadium, a.

460
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 6: Very very respectful fan base, I would say.

461
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. First of all, we spent almost more time.

462
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 7: The tailgating was probably more interesting the game than the

463
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 7: game itself, which was never really competitive. I think it

464
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 7: was seven to nothing after the first quarter, and it

465
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 7: was just we got to see a crock potting. We

466
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 7: got to see maybe the crock Potting of twenty eighteen

467
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 7: in person, which feels a bit right considering that we

468
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 7: celebrate the sensation of crock potting. It it was really

469
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 7: fun to tailgate. It was probably about ten degrees. We

470
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 7: layered up, We complained minimally. I think our hands hurt

471
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 7: for a little while. Your feet were giving you a

472
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 7: little chores. I mean, it was fun, it was cool,

473
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 7: you know, that's what happened. But what happens is people

474
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 7: tailgate all the same in proportion. If you go to Alabama,

475
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 7: there's one hundred thousand people. I'm sure there's a healthy

476
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 7: proportion of people that tailgate. Same here, less than usual

477
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 7: because of the weather, for sure, But it's tailgating in

478
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 7: North Dakota State is the same as tailgating anywhere else.

479
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 7: The people are the same, the food is the same,

480
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 7: the attitude is the same, the good times and friendships

481
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 7: are the same, except they do it inside of tents

482
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 7: with rocket engine eaters. Outside is ten degrees, inside is

483
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 7: eighty three. It changes very quickly. But we had a

484
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 7: lot of bacon and sausage, and like there were cupcakes available,

485
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 7: a lot of apple, citer and coco, so it was

486
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 7: it was really cool to see.

487
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 3: I had no idea.

488
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 5: It's the adaptation is really inspiring to witness. It's like

489
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 5: how wolves adapted to be friendlier with humans because they

490
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 5: were providing them with food right back in that in

491
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 5: that in the day. The infrastructure that some of these

492
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 5: fans have clearly invested in, yeah, is is incredible. I

493
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 5: would also add to your point about tents. I saw

494
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 5: more North Dakota State themed buses at this tailgate that

495
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 5: I think I'm accustomed to seeing. I haven't been as

496
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: many places as you, but it feels like the bus

497
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: is per capita and.

498
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: Like school buses.

499
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 5: Right. Is there bus graveyard somewhere up here where they

500
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: can get these things for ten cents.

501
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: On the dollar? Yeah, I am a Well listen, they're

502
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: not listen. Listen, They're not doing this for any.

503
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 7: Other teams, Like I don't think they're also twins fans

504
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 7: on this level that they are North Dakota State fans,

505
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 7: I don't think they are, you know, I think the

506
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 7: year is built around this in the way that it's

507
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 7: true elsewhere obviously, especially in the South, and you'll see

508
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 7: a lot of those buses and setups like they're like

509
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 7: that as well.

510
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 3: But yeah, when you have and this team is the best,

511
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 3: this team is Alabama, this team is beyond Alabama.

512
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 7: I mean, what Alabama does against the competition is sort

513
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 7: of unprecedented on that level. But in terms of the

514
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 7: sport short of like the crazy, I don't I don't

515
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 7: know how compares to like Mount Union and Wisconsin Whitewater

516
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 7: on D three, but this is I mean, North Dakota

517
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 7: State is beating They are beating Power five schools, so

518
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 7: they're a lot closer than perhaps some of those dynasties.

519
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 7: I almost thought watching the game, because Colgate is a

520
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 7: very good but definitely not great FCS may certainly flawed

521
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 7: one because of their offense, and watching North Dakota State,

522
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 7: who at times looks like in just like an average

523
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 7: Power five school, dismantle them, it made me wonder if

524
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 7: people get bored going to North Dkota State games because

525
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 7: I don't know how many are actually competitive. Granted, we

526
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 7: went and saw a thirty five nothing game that was

527
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 7: particularly not competitive.

528
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 3: That was the final score, right, it was thirty five nothing.

529
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 7: But I wonder if you should add like a Harlem

530
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 7: Globetrotter element to it, because you go see the Harlem Globetrotters,

531
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 7: you know who's winning.

532
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: You know that the Washington tricks, You're not going to

533
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 3: see the score.

534
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 7: Right, So what I'm saying is you add one crooked

535
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 7: ref just totally and clearly.

536
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 3: Donna ging out there.

537
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 7: You add a couple of players, mandatory players to North

538
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 7: Dakota's starting twenty two, that are on English speaking, non

539
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 7: football familiar people who will certainly affect the game.

540
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: Your left guard is five three eighteen.

541
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 7: You have to give them some sort of in the

542
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 7: way that golf has a handicap, something along those lines.

543
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 5: You also need to borrow a page from the old

544
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 5: twenty four handbook.

545
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 7: Okay, you need a good mole, You need an absolute

546
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 7: mom need a mole, You need a pre installed Waki leagues.

547
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 6: Right, something some some like fly in the ointment.

548
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, that can serve on serves a distraction on a

549
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 5: couple different fronts.

550
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 3: And I think that might be it.

551
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 7: Okay, we were talking about this earlier and this I'm

552
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 7: I'm gonna switch it up a little. We were talking

553
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 7: about which Power five school you would definitively take the

554
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 7: or give the points fourteen fourteen and a half points

555
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 7: over North Dakota State playing on the Vikings Field, so

556
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 7: like US Bank State US Bank Stadium, not the not

557
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 7: the Fargo town to have that true home field advantage,

558
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 7: but a relative indoor, neutral home field advantage.

559
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: And I want to add a little wrinkle to that.

560
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 5: Okay, See, I almost think the question needs to be

561
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: playing in the Fargo Dome because, as we tweet it out,

562
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 5: it's such an enormous home field advantage, certainly on the

563
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 5: SCS level where they're used to playing in front of, like, gosh,

564
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 5: two to five thousand people. Right the Fargo Dome holds

565
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 5: I think it's max capacity as twenty four, but for

566
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 5: football games they pulled down about eighteen. Colgate coming in

567
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 5: there has to be wide eyed and a little bit terrified.

568
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: Gosh.

569
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 5: And I don't know if it's all that different for

570
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 5: other schools going in there. Certainly a school like I

571
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 5: don't know, I'll just say Notre Dame. Right, Notre Dame

572
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: is used to playing in front of a lot of people,

573
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 5: but maybe not playing in a place like the Fargo Dome,

574
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: which is so unique.

575
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you're Dakota schools, you're Northern Iowa who

576
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 7: play in domes and have played in the Fargo Dome

577
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 7: often get the drill, right, But Coldgates. Here's my question

578
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 7: specific about Olgate or any other like Northeastern power or

579
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 7: a power like Sam. I don't think Sam used to say,

580
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 7: I don't know if they've ever come to the Fargo Nome.

581
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 7: Maybe I'm wrong, but somewhere that's distant and definitively at

582
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 7: a disadvantage talent wise, coaching wise, and now environment wise.

583
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 7: If North Dakota State, by law of the FCS playoffs,

584
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 7: the NCAA had to send Colgate every second of their

585
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 7: offensive meetings this week filmed.

586
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 3: There was a.

587
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 7: Camera in their offensive meetings. This is we're doing in

588
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 7: this situation. These are the plays we're installing. These are

589
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 7: the practice cut ups from like where it was strong

590
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 7: and where it wasn't strong. If they were forced to

591
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 7: deliver the entire offensive game plan with video evidence to

592
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 7: Colgate as it was happening like a live stream. Does

593
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 7: it ultimately change the outcome in any sort of dramatic way.

594
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 7: I mean, if Colgate is ready for everything, it's all there,

595
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: like they know no sequence what's going to happen. They

596
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 7: know the sequence, they know the first however, many plays

597
00:29:59,320 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 7: on the script.

598
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 3: They know what they've installed for the red zone. They

599
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 3: know what every formation looks like.

600
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 7: They know out of which personnel package they're running this

601
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 7: type of play. They know the calls, they know the signals.

602
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 7: Everything is fully telegraphed. The quarterback might as well tell

603
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 7: the defense, wow, this is what we're running here, this

604
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:17,719
Speaker 7: is what you know.

605
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: So you're really expanding upon the whole whole premise. Yes,

606
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 5: that that is what triggered that in my minds.

607
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 7: Do you think thirty five nothing becomes a competitive game?

608
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 7: Do you think Colgate wins? Do you think at best

609
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 7: it's thirty five to twenty?

610
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 5: I mean, well, first off, you're not telling Colgate what

611
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 5: North Dakota State's doing on defense. It's actually the bigger problem,

612
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 5: the bigger problem. So I don't think it changes the outcome.

613
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 5: Maybe North Dakota State, I.

614
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 7: Mean they turned over, they forced you know, they they've

615
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 7: maybe eight.

616
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 5: But the problem, the problem with the game that we

617
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 5: saw was that it really was not competitive.

618
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: The better team was North Dakota State.

619
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it starts up front with their

620
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 5: defensive line. We're not gonna do any deep analysis here,

621
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 5: but Colgate was just so overmatched on the offensive side

622
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 5: of the ball going up against that defensive line.

623
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: So even if they knew, even.

624
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 5: Everything that the buys in we're gonna do was telegraphed,

625
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 5: I don't think right any much difference.

626
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they probably score a couple of times.

627
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 3: I think they forced.

628
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 7: Turnovers, but don't convert in the red zone, because you're right.

629
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 7: The big problem for Bolgate was it took a super

630
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 7: human effort from their defense this season to become a

631
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 7: top ten ranked MCS team, right to overcome the fact

632
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 7: that their passing game just didn't really exist against the

633
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 7: better teams on their schedule. I know they had some

634
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 7: nice passes last week against James Madison, but it was

635
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 7: it was a non starter.

636
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 6: So let me ask you this because we'll kind of

637
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 6: get to this.

638
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 5: We were talking about this in the bagel shop before

639
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 5: we hopped in the car to make this journey back

640
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 5: to Minneapolis fourteen and a half points.

641
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 3: It's your hypothetical spread.

642
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna say we're playing the game in the

643
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 5: Fargo Dome, in the Fargo Dome, in Fargo.

644
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 7: Dome, which is both different and less daunting, a smaller

645
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 7: crowd but louder in some cases than a lot of

646
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 7: opponents on the road.

647
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 5: So let's go through big ten teams. Okay, you tell

648
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 5: me who you would take to cover fourteen and a

649
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: half in the Fargo Dome.

650
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll start easy. Would you take Michigan and Ohio.

651
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 7: State, Yes, Michigan in Ohio State, I or at least

652
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 7: two touchdowns better in the Fargo Dome.

653
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 5: In the Fargo Den the Bison, Yes, Penn State. Penn

654
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 5: State had trouble with app State this year.

655
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: Well, Apstates I would take. That game was in beaver Stadia.

656
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: Appstate's legitimately good.

657
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 7: And I don't think you can look at app State

658
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 7: and say into the Sun Belt Champs. You can't look

659
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 7: at Appstate and say, like, could you imagine struggling against

660
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 7: Apps State and now they're good.

661
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: Penn State struggled with Rutgers.

662
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 7: I think that would be the more Apps exam of

663
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 7: Penn State looking flat against a team that doesn't have

664
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 7: the talent of Penn State. Would I take Penn State

665
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 7: to cover on the road, Yes, I think I would.

666
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 7: Eventually they win that game because of the line play

667
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 7: and because of players like Miles Sanders and kJ Hamler,

668
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 7: who even if the offense is not rolling like it

669
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 7: should be with Tracey McSorley, they can turn eight into

670
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 7: eighty eight.

671
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: Yes. Michigan State.

672
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 7: No, No, Michigan State definitively does something extremely poorly, and

673
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 7: that's play offense, and I think that would be their undoing.

674
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 7: I would definitely take those points, if not take like

675
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 7: the money line, you'd go money line.

676
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think North Kota State one upset Michigan State.

677
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: Wow.

678
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 7: Yeah in the Fargo Dome. Yes, absolutely. Michigan State feels

679
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 7: like a team that wouldn't take them seriously. Michigan State

680
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 7: could shut them down. But I think North Dakota State

681
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 7: could definitely win that game thirteen to ten for.

682
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: Sure, So would you.

683
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 5: I'd be inclined then to put along that same line

684
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: of Northwestern.

685
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 7: Did Michigan State barely get by Rutgers at the end

686
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 7: of the year, that's the most recent example.

687
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, Northwestern played in the Big Ten championship game. Yeah,

688
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 5: this is a good one, but but kind of has

689
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 5: like a fatal flaw every game somehow, Right, whether it's

690
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 5: Clayton Thorson turning the ball over four or.

691
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 3: Five times, yep, whether it's well, it's usually not.

692
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:27,200
Speaker 5: The defense defense has been reasonably solid on the FBS level,

693
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 5: but offensively going into a strange place. I guess it's

694
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 5: not too too far of a trip for Northwestern, but

695
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 5: they probably win.

696
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 6: I don't know if they cover fourteen and a half though,

697
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 6: you know, don't like that.

698
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: By the way, this is all to be clear.

699
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 7: North Dakota State has an NFL caliber quarterback once again.

700
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 7: He is on draft boards. He's not like, I don't

701
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 7: think it's a higher round pick like Carson Wentz was.

702
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 7: But Easton Stick.

703
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna say you're burying the lead that his

704
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 5: name is Easton Stick Eastern sick.

705
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 7: Could he be a long time Chase Daniel asque backup

706
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 7: in the NFL with some health luck? Absolutely, he throws

707
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 7: a nice ball and he's he's a good size.

708
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 3: Yeah.

709
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 5: The fact that Chase Daniel is still a Chase danielish

710
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 5: back is probably probably evidence enough for Eastern stick, so.

711
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 7: Northwestern to get back to the main road. Yes, I

712
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 7: probably would not. Northwestern is a team that plays up

713
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 7: and plays down, and I would take Northwestern to win,

714
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,879
Speaker 7: but I would have them winning twenty four to twenty

715
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 7: something like that.

716
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: List for me.

717
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 5: The teams that in the Fargo Gum outside of Michigan State, yeah,

718
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 5: North Dakota State would be would beat outright.

719
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 7: Yeah in the Big Ten or any we know they

720
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 7: could beat Oregon, but how dare you Big ten? In

721
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 7: the Big Ten, North Dakota State could outright beat Rutgers.

722
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 3: Yes, in the Fargo doll.

723
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 7: I think they could outright beat Maryland, even though the

724
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 7: best of Maryland should be the you know, the average

725
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 7: of North Dkota State. The best of Maryland is not

726
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 7: something we always saw. I think they could beat that

727
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 7: Maryland team, especially with injuries a quarterback. I think they

728
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 7: could beat Minnesota, even though the Minnesota defense did improve

729
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:20,919
Speaker 7: by the end of the year.

730
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: They could beat Illinois.

731
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 7: Illinois actually scares me a little bit because of how

732
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 7: well they ran the BOT.

733
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 3: I mean, they can control a little bit on the ground,

734
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 3: but I think they could beat Illinois for sure.

735
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 7: They could beat to Purdue, but I would probably lean

736
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 7: towards giving those points with Purdue just because they themselves

737
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 7: have a good quarterback and some game changes on offense.

738
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 7: I think North Dakota State could beat outright. I don't

739
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 7: feel good about Nebraska. I mean I am to say

740
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 7: that I feel good about Nebraska winning. I don't feel

741
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 7: good about it beating Nebraska. Who else am I right now? Indiana?

742
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 3: Indiana? They could beat Indiana.

743
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 7: North Dakota State has recently competed well with Iowa, so yeah,

744
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 7: we saw some ugliness from that of the Iowa offenses here.

745
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 6: So anyway, the point here, I think the larger point

746
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 6: is that.

747
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,239
Speaker 3: North Dakota State is a.

748
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 7: Maybe below average right now Big Ten team, but they're

749
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 7: hovering within average.

750
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 6: Right like they could get both. Yes, this is what

751
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 6: it amounts to. Incredible venue for a game.

752
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 5: Definitely a bucket list trip to come up and check

753
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 5: this out. It is different, though, and it's different in

754
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 5: this respect because I don't know if it's because I

755
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 5: know in the back of my mind that it's FCS

756
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 5: football as opposed to FBS. I don't know if it's

757
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 5: because it's that FCS team playing in a really cool

758
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 5: and by comparison giant venue like the Fargo Dome. I

759
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: don't know what it is, but there is part of

760
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 5: me that felt like I went to a different planet

761
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 5: for sure watching this game, and it occupies the space between.

762
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 3: Really big time Texas.

763
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 5: High school football and like middle tier Big ten football.

764
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 5: It feels to me, wow mentally, like it like it's

765
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 5: just somewhere in there. And I don't quite know how,

766
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 5: And I don't mean that as any disrespect. I'm sure

767
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 5: it'll come across that way. Well, it's just such an

768
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 5: odd setting to see a whole town rally around at

769
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 5: FCS school.

770
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 7: That's not something I've seen. No, in the Northeast, it's

771
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 7: most certainly not like that. And you know, in the

772
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 7: South there are certainly pockets that appreciate and support FCS

773
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 7: schools rightfully, so, but there this is the one hundred

774
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 7: and twenty five thousand people live in Fargo, and a

775
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 7: lot of the towns in the South and Texas are

776
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 7: much smaller that have FCS schools. So no, it's a

777
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 7: unique experience. It's a unique destination for sure. And yeah,

778
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 7: I would say North Dakota State is like a good Macteam,

779
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 7: pretty good Macteam and.

780
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 3: I came away just crazy oppressed with the.

781
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 7: Experience, and I almost have to wonder at what point

782
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 7: And I don't know different conference qualifications because then you

783
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 7: start getting into academics and you.

784
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: Know you North Dakota State is not going to join

785
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: the Big Ten.

786
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 7: But when you win eight of nine, when you win

787
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 7: ten of eleven or twelve fifteen, when do we have

788
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 7: to say North Dakota State should be the Mountain West

789
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 7: like that? And that has to be like in a

790
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 7: not so distant time. That conversation has to be had.

791
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 7: If it continues with it, it's very difficult because Chris

792
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 7: Clime is gonna be hired by somebody in the way

793
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 7: that Craig Bowl was at Wyoming, right if they keep

794
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 7: it going with whoever's now, if it's a current coach

795
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 7: at the school, or they hire from the outside, North

796
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 7: Dakota's North Dakota State's infrastructure as such where they can

797
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 7: support a Mountain West teams, and the conversation has to

798
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 7: be had, why are they still playing on this level?

799
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: Well?

800
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 5: And the point here is I think even if their

801
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 5: coach leaves, yeah, it might be that they've gotten to

802
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 5: the point where the program is it's almost a critical mass, right,

803
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 5: because they've gotten such an infrastructure advantage having that as

804
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 5: our home stadium. Yep, they can probably afford to throw

805
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 5: a little bit more into their football program than a

806
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 5: lot of their rivals because they have that and they

807
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 5: need to continue that.

808
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 7: Tradition, right. I also think they are and it's part

809
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 7: of it. I don't think it's a main part of it,

810
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 7: but it's part of it. I think they're kind of

811
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 7: secretly in a very good location. It's very strange to

812
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 7: say that about North Dakota, but they're in a good

813
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 7: sized college town, cold mind you, but that's okay because

814
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 7: a good chunk of their rosters they're from North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin,

815
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:04,879
Speaker 7: and the high school level of football and the high

816
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 7: school participation of football in Minnesota and Wisconsin I think

817
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 7: is sort of under talked about where they can pretty

818
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 7: much get any This is without any research or talking

819
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 7: to any expert. It's my new It seems like they

820
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 7: could probably at this point in the way Alabama can

821
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 7: do it throughout the South, get any fringe FBS player

822
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,720
Speaker 7: they want, if they're undersized, if they're late bloomers, whatever,

823
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 7: from Wisconsin or Minnesota. That Upper Plains area. They're the

824
00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 7: show and they have that advantage over a school like Colgate, which,

825
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 7: all respect to Hamilton, New York and surrounding areas, this

826
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 7: is not an area of the country that has a

827
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 7: big pool to choose from, So North Dakota State in

828
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 7: that way has a nice advantage.

829
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 5: You know what, just Dawnamy, what did you happen to

830
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 5: see the science saying I prefer Crest?

831
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of Coldgate. It's just dawned to me that

832
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: they're comparing Colgate to toothpaste.

833
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 6: Yes, in the car several hours after the game.

834
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, you were focused on many other things and

835
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 7: that's acceptable.

836
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm okay with it.

837
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 7: But yeah, I would recommend because we get a lot

838
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,359
Speaker 7: of these emails and it's off the beaten path for sure.

839
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,359
Speaker 7: People ask should where should I go? I've never been

840
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 7: to a game. I live in Australia coming to the States.

841
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 7: Should I go see Texas or should I go see Alabama?

842
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 3: Something?

843
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 5: To be fair, if you're coming from Australia, don't don't

844
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 5: make Fargo your first slag at the first one.

845
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 3: Don't make it the first one.

846
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 7: But if you've been around and you want somewhere new

847
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:38,280
Speaker 7: and difference. Go to a big game at the Fargo

848
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 7: Nome in like late October, late October.

849
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 5: Yes, at the absolutely because you're still get it. It'll

850
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 5: be crisp, It'll be like the thirties or something, probably forties, right,

851
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 5: I do recommend it. I had a great time. The

852
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 5: people were terrific, the atmosphere was great.

853
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 7: It was we went curling, We ate burgers, we layered up,

854
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 7: we wandered around on tailgates. We got to see the

855
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 7: end of the Patriot League football season. Did you got

856
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 7: to see a clip of me curling on the game broadcasts? Yes,

857
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 7: with Cole Kublic and DJ Shockley, Which it's very strange

858
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 7: to say that I went curling with DJ Shockley and

859
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 7: Kole Kublick, but I mean mostly DJ shock I could

860
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 7: and I could anticipate. I could have anticipated a world

861
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 7: in which I went curling with a former offensive lineman.

862
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,280
Speaker 7: But DJ Shockley a little different, just great quarterback for Georgia.

863
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 7: So I uh, the trip came together last minute, and

864
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 7: I regret nothing, and I encourage everybody to follow our

865
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 7: decision making and just just go for it. Take chances,

866
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 7: be spontaneous, your best life, live your best turning into

867
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 7: an advice show. Here it is turning into an advice show.

868
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 7: We're in the middle of Minnesota. It wasn't We passed Alexandria,

869
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 7: Minnesota not too long ago.

870
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 5: It's still very flats getting it is foggy. It's just

871
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 5: a new wrinkle. We keep passing icy bodies of water.

872
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 3: Right.

873
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,959
Speaker 7: But we have the meet up in a little bit

874
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 7: in about four hours in Minneapolis. You can check into

875
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,439
Speaker 7: our hotel to eat some dinner. And I think Tye

876
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 7: is going to do some independent research on Fargo in

877
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,240
Speaker 7: North Dakota. I'm very curious about Fargo North Dakota. Tye

878
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 7: is borderline becoming obsessed with like why do people move

879
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 7: to Fargo, Why do people leave Fargo? Why do people

880
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 7: start businesses in Fargo? Why don't they start businesses in

881
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 7: Fargas don't they?

882
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 3: I want to know.

883
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 5: I want to know the official pitch, yeah, from the

884
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 5: Fargo Chamber of Commerce to prospective business clients who might

885
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: want to bring their operations inside the city limits. And

886
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 5: I mean that not again in any derogatory way. I'm

887
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 5: genuinely curious about how this works.

888
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was. I got questions after this trip.

889
00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 7: It was an interesting place that is extremely far away

890
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 7: for most places I've been.

891
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 5: So what I would add as we sort of wrap

892
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 5: up here a little bit, Yeah, big thanks first and

893
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 5: foremost to our Frank Kevin Brown from ESPN.

894
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, planting the seed. Who planted the seed?

895
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 5: You know, I guess we kind of planted it a

896
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 5: little bit, but he took it and he watered that

897
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 5: seed and gave it sprouts yep, to the point where

898
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 5: we thought, hey, what the hell, let's do it. So

899
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 5: Kevin a really good dude. It was great to meet

900
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 5: him for the first time. Yeah, and I'm sure he

901
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 5: did a magnificent job with the broadcast. If you listen

902
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 5: to his intro to the broadcast, there were a bunch

903
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 5: of little Easter eggs in there for sOliver bawlers. Yeah,

904
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 5: who might have been watching wondering what is this game

905
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 5: all about? So good dude, big thanks to him. Would

906
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,720
Speaker 5: you say we're influencing the influencers? It's not my phrase,

907
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 5: but I think we think we have a good case you.

908
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 3: Could use that. We could use that. Yeah, shout out

909
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 3: once again to open.

910
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:01,280
Speaker 7: Floor Lowe, But I U Kevin Brown up and pay attention.

911
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 3: Listen. We made Adam a meme. Listen, listen, we made

912
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 3: Adam a meme. That's a joke. We can make Kevin Brown.

913
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 7: We are secret king makers of play by play broadcasters.

914
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 3: Kenvin Brown. Thank you.

915
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 5: Also, big thanks to everyone in North Dakota State on

916
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 5: very short notice kind of giving us, you know, our.

917
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 3: Lay of the land here.

918
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 5: Driving their credentials to our hotel, which is, believe me,

919
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 5: not something that normally And you know, big thanks to

920
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 5: all of the fans who kind of opened their tailgates

921
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 5: up to us, welcomed us in. Thank you for helping

922
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:48,799
Speaker 5: keep us warm throughout this because it was very cool.

923
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 5: What was the best thing you ate at a tailgate?

924
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 5: What was that bacon? The whiskey, cayenne, bacon, sugar?

925
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,280
Speaker 7: Yeh, some guy made some sort of slurry with whiskey

926
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 7: or bourbon and cayamne pepper for spice and brown sugar.

927
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the best bacon.

928
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 7: I frizzled it over the bacon before bacon, and yeah,

929
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 7: it was excellent bacon. I don't know what the best

930
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 7: thing I had was. It might have been that bacon.

931
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 7: It probably was that bacon. But we had meatballs and

932
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 7: sausage and we did do a jellow shot. We didn't

933
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 7: want to be rude, right, and I think we had

934
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:23,720
Speaker 7: a little bit of breakfast burrito.

935
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: It's good food. It's tough in the morning. It's tough

936
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 3: in the morning.

937
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 7: It was an eleven am local pick to throw together

938
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 7: at tailgate, especially when nobody really wants to be outside

939
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 7: manning the grill.
