Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. Come that for me. I'm

00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,000

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: It's New York City, and that can only mean that

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 3: it is Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you?

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: I'm good, Ty, I mean, I'm all right. But the

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: mere fact that we're getting into our two hour Mega

14
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: quick Lane Bowl Special, Yeah, how about it. I'm feeling juice,

Speaker 1: It's all happening. So I'm ready to go.

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: It's all happening. Indeed, thank you to everyone out there

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 3: for tuning back in. We are now squarely in the

19
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Bowl pre viewing segment of our solid verbal season. We

20
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 3: don't have games to discuss, at least not this coming Saturday,

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: but we do have ones that are on the horizon.

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, get in on the bullpool.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: We've got links posted out on the Facebook page, We'll

24
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: post it on Twitter. We'll continue posting it on our

25
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: web page as well. Forty one games for you to pick.

26
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 3: We're going to do our best here to try and

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 3: talk you through them and at least give you some

28
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: sense of who Dan and I are going to pick.

29
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: On tonight's show.

30
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: We've got some news to discuss that we didn't discuss previously.

31
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 3: We've got a whole slew of games to discuss here, Dan,

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: do we count these up?

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: Do you know how many we've got tonight? We have?

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: I think we're into double digits, ten twelve games. We

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: got a bunch a heavy lift tonight in terms of

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Bowl games. Dan, eight, nine, ten, I'm eleven twelve. I'm

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: seeing twelve games. Tie, geez yeah, Ken ready, I have nuggets, Tie,

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: I have so many nuggets about these. I'm gonna need

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: some sauce, Tig. I'm gonna have some spicy sauce from you.

40
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: A little Chick fil a sauce with those nuggets sounds

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 3: good to me. Do you know what chick fil a

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 3: sauce is? Is that a rhetorical question?

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: You know? I don't know, But do you know what

44
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: comprises Chick fil a sauce. I have absolutely no idea.

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: Do you like Chick fil ace? I love it. It's great.

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: I want to say it's a like a barbecue honey

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: mustard hybrid. Okay, I believe that is the case. It

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: looks like Okay, officially, the copycat recipe says, whisk together

49
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of mayonnaise, honey mustard, lemon juice and

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: barbecue sauce. That's not too too bad. I could probably

51
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: make that on my own. I mean, you're making your

52
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: own Franklin barbecue sauce. I am. What can't you do?

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: Well?

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: We got a lot of nuggets here to talk about

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: in Bowl country, and we'll get to those. I promise.

56
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 3: We'll get to the news, I promise. But the only

57
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 3: bit of housekeeping news that we must discuss first is

58
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 3: that the live show is currently sold out. If you

59
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,320

Speaker 3: links back to our ticketing site. Right now, they're sold out.

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 3: We're trying to hold some back for people who might

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: be coming to Atlanta for the game and for just

65
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: other folks in Atlanta who might decide at the last

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 3: minute that they want to come that a lot will

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: go back on sale after we know who's playing in

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 3: the National Championship game. But as we've said time and

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 3: time again, now, if you are going to be in Atlanta,

70
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: if you're thinking about coming to Atlanta, you're not sure

Speaker 1: You guys, grab these tickets quickly. Oh, they're going like hotcakes. Dan,

81
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: I figured we'd given enough people lead time to be like,

82
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: all right, we've got a few weeks till that. Like, No,

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: it was like two days they were all gone. So

84
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: I was impressed. I was as well, I'm very excited

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: about that show. Yes, it's gonna be a we have

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: I want to say, mixed media plans. Yes, were we know,

87
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: like charging money is a thing that we were very

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: thankful that we're able to do that and people are

89
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: able to support the show. So we are trying our

90
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: best to give you not just us sitting there and

91
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: giving you a Q and A, but an actual capital

92
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: S show with Capital F friends and media pals and

93
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: all sorts of things like that. So we're very grateful

94
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: we have this opportunity. So we cannot wait to hang.

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: I'm thinking space opera like in Star Wars episode three. Mmm,

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: fully nude, very thematic this week by the way, Yes,

97
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: oh yeah, that's true.

98
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: The Star Wars the news, not the nude. Correct. All right,

99
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: well on that now, Oh we have older but still

100
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: breaking news.

101
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 3: We talked a lot about the debacle, the raging tire fire,

102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: the dumpster fire, whatever superlative you'd like to use. At

103
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,799
Speaker 3: Tennessee regarding their coaching search, we talked about all the jokes.

104
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: We didn't talk about the actual coach. The actual coach

105
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: is Jeremy Prewett. They hired him away from Alabama. I

106
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 3: believe Prewitt will still be coaching in the playoff, Is

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 3: that correct?

108
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: That is the early word, though subject to change as

109
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: we know what happens with the Alabama coordinator right subject

110
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: to change.

111
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: But Jeremy Prewitt has had a pretty successful run at

112
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: at Georgia, at Florida State, most recently at Alabama. He's

113
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: coached at a very high level. He's been a defensive coordinator.

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 3: The early read on him is that he's going to

115
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 3: bring I'm laughing as I say this, but a more

116
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 3: aggressive hacking mentality. Hell yeah, with him from Tuscaloosa up

117
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: there to Knoxville after spending however many years now under

118
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: Butch Jones, that is something that I think.

119
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee fans could get pretty excited about.

120
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: So Jeremy Prewitt at long last tabbed as the new

121
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 3: head man.

122
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the ceiling is pretty high. Tennessee has phenomenal facilities.

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: They can attract a lot of talent. The big thing

124
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: to me is, and this has been impressive early with

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: what can Jeremy Prewitt attract in the way of assistant

126
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: coaches and support staff, strength and conditioning. He just hired away.

127
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't have his name in front of me, but

128
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: the sort of de facto GM of LSU football, who

129
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: I think is a Tennessee native who helps out with

130
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: operations and recruiting, and so you have to assume or

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: not assume. But I would say that the optimist looks

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: at Jeremy Prewitt and says he's worked with three top

133
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: level coaches and Mark Rick, jimbo Fisher and obviously Nick Saban.

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: What has he taken from them organizationally? How will he

135
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: deal with people? Is he perhaps more mature than he

136
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: has put out there in the years past. So I

137
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: think ceiling wise, it is exceptionally high with how he's

138
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: been able to hire early on, and I am exceedingly

139
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: curious at this point without a full staff, how he

140
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: rounds out the recruiting class, which I know we're going

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: to talk about momentarily just reporting in general, both with

142
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: this early signing period that begins next week. I think

143
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: it's the twentieth to the twenty second, and then the

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: more standard signing day in early February. So there's a

145
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: lot to be optimistic about, I guess cautiously optimistic about

146
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: with hiring somebody without head coaching experience, but a ton

147
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: of high level experience in that region.

148
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you mentioned recruiting. This seems like a natural

149
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 3: segue to talk about what's going on in the recruiting world.

150
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 3: They're basically reformatting signing day as we know at the

151
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 3: signing period as we know it. And we did have

152
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 3: a question come through, is this something that we're going

153
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: to talk about? Well, yeah, it's college football. We will

154
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 3: be talking about it next Wednesday, as that's kind of

155
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: the the new signing day. Is that how they're trying

156
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: to brand this thing now?

157
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a they trying anything, but

158
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I think schools in general are treating this like it

159
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: is the traditional signing day. You have the three days,

160
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: which gives you know, recruits and coaches whatever flexibility early

161
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: on just to make sure everything is in order by

162
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: the twentieth, twenty first, or twenty second. It hurts I

163
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: think prospective kids who would have more time to take

164
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: visits and see how things shake out after high school

165
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 1: football season's end and bowl season ends, so there's a

166
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: little bit of flexibility gone. I think in general, the

167
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: bigger programs, Power five type programs will have rounded out

168
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: their class maybe like sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen kids out

169
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: of an average of about twenty five. So yes, it

170
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: is the de facto signing day. This is what we

171
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: will be paying attention to, I think more, but certainly

172
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: more to come. It hurts schools like Stanford Notre Dame

173
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: with more rigorous academic requirements because a lot of the

174
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: times kids are waiting to find out and get their grades,

175
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: waiting on a school and so schools like that, And

176
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: I know David Shaw has spoken out against this that

177
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: it really does hurt them. So we'll be curious to

178
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: see how many kids don't sign early in hopes that

179
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: if they want it to go to a place like

180
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: Stanford or Notre Dame. Those are the two biggest I

181
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: think academically right now, you know how that affects their

182
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: their own timing. So it should be interesting to see.

183
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: And do you have you been paying attention at all

184
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: to this?

185
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 2: No?

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: Minimal? Okay, real quick, ty, this is and I think

187
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of commitments will be happening. Will obviously be

188
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: reviewing it after the fact. Here's your top twelve team

189
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,720
Speaker 1: rankings and this one subject. This is an.

190
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 3: Important primer because you know my stance on recruits generally,

191
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 3: It's not that I'm not into it. Wait and see, Yeah,

192
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: I'm just not into it until I absolutely have to

193
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: be into it. Recruiting being the lifeblood of college football,

194
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: you can't avoid it. It's important. I just haven't looked

195
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: into it. It's it's kind of coming early this year

196
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: because this new format.

197
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Yes, so you're absolutely right. Here is the twenty four

198
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: to seven composite rankings right now, Ohio State, Texas, Hey, Texas, nice,

199
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: Miami makes sense. Georgia, Penn State and Notre Dame at

200
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: five and six, Oklahoma seven, Auburn, Alabama. Oregon's at ten.

201
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: They were a little bit higher, but have had some

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: decommitments after Willie Taggart left. Washington right there at eleven

203
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh and Michigan at twelve. So I think

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: a pretty familiar group. But Texas at number two, certainly

205
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: they have the regional talent to justify. So yeah, that

206
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: all feels about right. And quarterback wise, it looks like

207
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the a lot of the guys that

208
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: you would recognize team wise. I mean, Clemson has the

209
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: top quarterback in the class, Georgia has number two, Washington

210
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: has two top like fourteen quarterbacks, Oregon got their guy,

211
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: Notre Dame has Phil Jerkovic. Yeah, right, is that his

212
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: name yep. Interestingly enough, Utah has a top ten quarterback

213
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: in the country. Saw that quarterback? Yeah? So yeah, Michigan

214
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: State with the number fifteen overall quarterback. So that's cool

215
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: to see if they can sort of keep that quarterback

216
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: play at a high level. And Justin Rodgers appears to

217
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: be a top five guy for TCU. So looks like

218
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: a pretty good class of guys going all over the

219
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: country to powers.

220
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we're going to talk about this in

221
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: much much more detail on the show we do next week.

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 3: I guess that'd be December twentieth. We'll also preview Bowls

223
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: on that show, which means it's going to be a

224
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: longer podcast than you and I would typically do, but

225
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: we want to make sure we cover all the relevant

226
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: information recruiting and bowl season. We got a bunch of

227
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 3: previews that we've started to look at for next Wednesday,

228
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: so stay tuned for that.

229
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: Can I ask you a question real quick before we

230
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: move on? Sure, what do you think of the Jeremy

231
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: prout Hire for Tennessee? I like it.

232
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 3: I think that bringing some sort of toughness with him

233
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 3: from his last role is something that Tennessee fans should

234
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 3: should be excited about. To your point, he has coached

235
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 3: at a very high level. But the question always remains

236
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: he hasn't been a head coach previously. Sure, so not

237
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 3: everyone ends up being Kirby smart. Will there be an

238
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 3: adjustment period? How will he deal with being in the

239
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: fish bowl that is Tennessee. It's not an easy job.

240
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: So I will wait and see on that front, how

241
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 3: he handles not only that increase in responsibility but also

242
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 3: just that spotlight that he's going to be under.

243
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: We don't know. That part remains to be seen true,

244
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough? I mean that they were down

245
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: to and I say that in a weird, facetious way,

246
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: but they had taken to interviewing SEC defensive coordinators. Another

247
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: one of the big names was I think Kevin Steel

248
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: from Auburn. So certainly they had finished setting their sites

249
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: at high ish and weird choices at head coach with

250
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: guys with head coaching experience, perhaps at Rutgers, and then

251
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: Dave Dorn and David Cutcliffe and Mike Gundhy, and then

252
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: they were sort of zeroing in on perhaps more realistic

253
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: in the way of coordinators that, to their credit, won't

254
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: cost as much more money for assistance, you know, more

255
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: runway to prove themselves early on as a head coach

256
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 1: instead of needing immediate results. So I don't think it's

257
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. I am. I'm curious,

258
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: I like it. I am reserved about loving it same

259
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: all right.

260
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 3: The only other bit of coaching news that I wanted

261
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 3: to discuss, Sunny Dikes is going to be taking over

262
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 3: at SMU Chad Morris left for Arkansas. Yep, Sunny Dikes

263
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 3: is going to be coaching the Bowl game for SMU.

264
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: This is It's a rare move.

265
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: It's not entirely unprecedented, but certainly not the kind of

266
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: thing that I can ever remember discussing in the ten

267
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 3: years of us doing this podcast. A new coach coming

268
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: in nothing to do with the program previously, will now

269
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 3: be coaching the Bowl game for SMU against Louisian Tech.

270
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you the option to change your pick

271
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: from SMU to Louisiana Tech because I had LA Tech

272
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 3: to begin with. I'm on this thing now where I'm

273
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: not going to go too heavy on teams that lost

274
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: to coach, and in the case this game, even though

275
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: SMU was favored, I was gonna go law Tech. But

276
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 3: this to me seems like a historically terrible decision, despite

277
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: the fact that nothing's really riding on this game. I

278
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: just don't see how a team can come in and

279
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 3: feel good about its chances with a brand new coach

280
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: for one game.

281
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick. Well, No, I'm gonna say law Tech.

282
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I think this has the makings for a just a mess.

283
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: And by the way, Ty, I am a little bit

284
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: disappointed in you for not knowing your You're Brian Kelly history.

285
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: But he coached Cincinnati like two weeks after being named

286
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: the head coach there. He arrived there from Central Michigan.

287
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, that's right, and he did coach Cincinnati,

288
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: and I forget which ball, let's assume it's like the

289
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: Motor City bawl. I think that's a fair guess, but

290
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: that I did not come up with that myself. I

291
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: saw somebody else sweet that out and just looked it

292
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: up myself. But yeah, Brian Kelly did it at Cincinnati,

293
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: so there is recent precedent, and I guess he followed

294
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: up that real quick coaching job with a real quick

295
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: exit when Cincinnati went undefeated and went on his way

296
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: to South Bend. This is true. He was there for

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: four seasons. That is true. He was there longer than

298
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: your boy Willie Taggert. He was. That is factory tie

299
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: facts only.

300
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: All right, Well, if any other news breaks, we will

301
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 3: be sure to bring it to you. I would advise

302
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: changing your pickaway from SMU. I think that's gonna be

303
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: potentially a mess, but we shall wait and see. Before

304
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: we get to bulls, though, Dan, we do need to

305
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: talk about your shirt.

306
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I am. You've got a wedding this weekend.

307
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Oh that one.

308
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: Yes, you've got a wedding this weekend. Will you be

309
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,119
Speaker 3: wearing your proper Cloth dress shirt.

310
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: It's not just a wedding, it is the wedding of

311
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,040

Speaker 1: used to be? Yeah? Sure?

358
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 3: This used to be the Saint Petersburg Bowl. For a

359
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: hot minute, you and I exchanged a few messages on

360
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: the old g chat machine about how much it might

361
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 3: cost to sponsor this bowl, because you'll remember they didn't

362
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: have a sponsor. They were openly courting new sponsors for

363
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: this bowl game.

364
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I want to say, was it two years ago? It

365
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: was the Bitcoin Bowl, Yeah, I believe. And then Bitcoin

366
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, we just we're gonna We're gonna shoot

367
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: our value through the roof and I'd spend a day.

368
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: As soon as they decided to part ways with the

369
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: bull scene boom value through the roof. Bitcoin could buy

370
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: the entire city of Saint Petersburg right now, correct economics. Okay,

371
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: December twenty first, at eight pm on ESPN, we got

372
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: the Bad Boys Mowers Gasparia Bowl. I don't care. We've

373
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: got to match up.

374
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: Here between Temple at six and six and Florida International

375
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: at eight and four. Temple is currently about a seven

376
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 3: and a half point favorite DAN. Before we get into

377
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 3: the analysis, it is our gift situation for this contest.

378
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: AH our owl friends will be perusing a gift suite.

379
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 1: They will be going home with an Oakley backpack and

380
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: a neck pillow. A neck pillow. Do you own a

381
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: neck pillow? I do own a neck pillow. They're pretty

382
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: good also, f I used the Golden Panthers. It's not

383
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: just the owls who will have access. But I'm mixed

384
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: on the neck pillow. I think I just need a

385
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: better one. I'm for the idea of a neck pillow.

386
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: I just haven't found one that I really like.

387
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 3: I'm pro neck pillow. I've used it at home too,

388
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 3: just when it's laying around the house. Damn, look at you,

389
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 3: casual tie. Here's what we know, ty Owls offense not good,

390
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 3: no good, We're not all that different. But the fact

391
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: that they couldn't run this year, and they really could

392
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 3: for a good chunk of Matt Rules time there in

393
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: Philly is disappointing, to say the least. In Jeff collins

394
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: first season, they couldn't really pass it all that much.

395
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: The defense wasn't bad, which is to be expected with

396
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 3: Collins's background and.

397
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: What Matt Rule left that team with. Decent on third down,

398
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Sharif Finch had a nice year on the defensive line.

399
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: Temple beat Navy, Tye, that's the thing, okay, so you

400
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: know transition here. I would say for the Owls FIU

401
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: offense not bad. They also couldn't run, so whoof If

402
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: you like running the ball, you might want to watch

403
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: a different game. But they threw the ball well. Alex

404
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: McGuff top half of the conference. Usaqquarterback ladder Thomas Owens

405
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: may be the best receiver in the conference, could have

406
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: looked like their rock. And here's the good news. Ty

407
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: fi used defense was all crash awful.

408
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, ninety second ranked according to Bill Connolly's S and

409
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: P plus metric.

410
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 1: Yes, and FIU did be marshall, they beat you TSA.

411
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: So but in this specific game, we have trash on trash.

412
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,880
Speaker 1: We call this the trash compactor game. Dan, Yes, we did.

413
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: Shut them all down. Shut them all down, Dan, We're

414
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: all stuck in a trash compactor here for Temple, and

415
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: they're one hundred and fourth rated offense against FIU's ninety

416
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: second ranked defense. I believe in physics you would refer

417
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: to this as the stoppable force versus the movable object.

418
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: I think that's correct. I think that's correct. Yeah. Butch Davis,

419
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: Jeff Collins, Tigh Quality coaches seven and a half points

420
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: spread for Temple. Uh, I think I'm gonna take those points.

421
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna feel a little bit shootouty with

422
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: FIU's ability to move it through the air.

423
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: How's that I'm inclined to go points, But again, keeping

424
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 3: in mind that we've got a confidence pool, true, I'm

425
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 3: going to go thirteen points on the owls of Temple

426
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 3: in a close one.

427
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's about right. Not a lot of confidence.

428
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: I think I think Temple might edge them with some defense.

429
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Bahamas Bowl, Dan m and not

430
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: a Chick fil A Bahamas bawl anymore.

431
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 3: No, you've ever been to first off? Was it ever

432
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 3: the Chick fil A Bahamas Ball? I don't think it was.

433
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 3: It was, okay, I don't think it was the Popeyes

434
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 3: Bahamas Bowl.

435
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: Oh that's what it is. Damn it. I'm a bad person.

436
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 3: There are so many check and sponsors though in these

437
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 3: bowl games that I can't blame you for getting them confused.

438
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: Oh fair? Do you have a preference between Chick fil

439
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: A and Popeyes? I've never been to a Popeyes?

440
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 3: Is that really? There is a Popeyes nearby. I was

441
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: able to locate one, but I've never actually gone to it.

442
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: So my experience is fairly limited to just Chick fil A.

443
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, go to a Popeyes. I've been to it.

444
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: I've been to a Crowns Fried Chicken down in downtown Philly.

445
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: Now go to Popeyes. Popeyes is wonderful.

446
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 3: The Bahamas bull sans a Chicken sponsor. They played this

447
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 3: one in Thomas Robinson Stadium on Nasau, December twenty second,

448
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: at twelve thirty in the afternoon on ESPN, we've got

449
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: the Ohio Bobcats at eight and four, a seven and

450
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 3: a half point favorite over the UAB Blazers. They finished

451
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 3: the year at eight and four. This is, you know,

452
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 3: an interesting game for a variety of reasons. But we

453
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: got to give a shout out to UAB because the

454
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: program was dead, and by dead, I mean literally dead

455
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago. Now they're back, They're eight

456
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 3: and four. They're going bowling. They're going to the Bahamas.

457
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 3: That's a pretty cool story just on its own. What

458
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 3: is our gift situation here for the Bahamas bull Dan.

459
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: Well, they'll be going through a gift suite. They're getting

460
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: our favorite at Sandal brand I associated with bull They

461
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: are getting some ice slides, yes, drawstring, backpack, a beach towel,

462
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: and a bullpin, which makes me think that there are

463
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: not a lot of gifts in the gifts suite. They

464
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: are highlighting the bullpin, so bullpin indeed. Either way, cool

465
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: story for UAB, solid season for Ohio. UAB does not

466
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: move the ball all that well, but they're pretty good

467
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: running the ball. Big fresh and running back in Spencer Brown.

468
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: Good defense, especially against the run. They did not allow

469
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: more than twenty five points. First Conference USA teams after

470
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: November seventh. They beat North Texas. Excuse me, after the

471
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: North Texas game on November seventh, they beat Middle Tennessee.

472
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: They beat Southern Myss. They did. Yeah, absolutely they did.

473
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: They beat UTSA. Everybody has a good win over UTSA,

474
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: who is also somehow good. But yeah, really cool story

475
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: for UAB to be back bowling after returning to FBS

476
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: football Ohio. They themselves a better offense, I would say,

477
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: than UAB, which is why they're favored in this game.

478
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: They themselves are particularly good running the ball. And Nathan Rourke.

479
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: What do you know about Nathan Rourke? Felt like feels

480
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: like he's been there forever, thousand yard rushing quarterback. Tie Yeah, sure,

481
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: at yeah, yeah, yeah. The defense is pretty good. They're

482
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 1: a solid team, and they've had maybe the most impressive

483
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: MAC win of the season with a comfortable, comfortable win

484
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: over Toledo. So I think there's a lot to like

485
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: about the Bobcats here. I'm thirty one points in favor

486
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: of the Bobcats. I like him outright.

487
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 3: I like him minus the points. I think their rushing

488
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 3: game is too much for UAB. Okay, I'm rooting for

489
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: UAB because of their story.

490
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sort of strength on strength running the ball

491
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: versus good run defense in this game.

492
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: Shout out, shout out to them. But I think the

493
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 3: rushing games a little too much for UAB. And I'm

494
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: gonna go Ohio here yep. I don't think about thirty one.

495
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: Maybe mid twenties famous Idaho Potato Bowl and Albertson Stadium

496
00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 3: in Boise, Idaho. This one is also played on twenty

497
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 3: second of December. They played a little later in the

498
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 3: day at four pm Eastern on ESPN. We've got the

499
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 3: Wyoming Cowboys, We've got the Central Michigan Chippewas, and at

500
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 3: last check, we've got to pick them.

501
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: Dan. We do have a pick them. We have In

502
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: speaking of picking, they can pick through a gift suite.

503
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: They can pick Oakley sunglasses. Should they choose an under

504
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: armour backpack and a beanie? Because you're playing a ballgame

505
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: in Idaho and that that feels like a good choice

506
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: to wear a beanie, So it's a good matchup.

507
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 3: I have a question for you play guarding this game.

508
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 3: Do we know if Josh Allen's going to play, I

509
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 3: honestly do not know. That seems to be the question.

510
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: He's dealt with injuries this season. He hurt his throwing

511
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: shoulder against air Force towards the end of the season

512
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 3: and it's been touching go ever since. He sounds like

513
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: he wants to play in the game, despite the fact

514
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: that you know, he's probably headed for the NFL reasonably

515
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 3: high pick and I would assume the first round in

516
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: the NFL draft. But it sounds like Josh Allen wants

517
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: to play in this football game. I like Josh Allen.

518
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's playing be where the chippiwas though.

519
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: I always pick against Central Michigan, you know, I hold

520
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: that long standing grudge against the Chippewa. Beware the chip Awas, Daniel,

521
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: they have the better of the two quarterbacks in this

522
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: game too, Morris, Beware.

523
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 3: The chip Awas. They closed out the year they won

524
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: five straight. They beat Osio, they beat Ohio. We just

525
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 3: talked about it's a pretty good team. They beat Northern Illinois,

526
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 3: who I'm gonna pick to beat Duke Okay a little

527
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: later on great defense. Yeah, in the podcast, I can

528
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: see them having trouble moving the ball against Wyoming, but

529
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ride that Chippewah wave Dan. We got to

530
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: pick him here, give me the chip Awas outright. Excuse me,

531
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 3: Let's go Central Michigan to the tune of five confidence points.

532
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 3: So I like him, I just don't like him that much. Yeah.

533
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: Central Michigan's offense is pretty rough, although they do need

534
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: and they get Shane Morris big passing play, so that's good.

535
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 1: And you're right. They started the season pretty slowly at

536
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: two and three and they finished winning six to seven,

537
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,439
Speaker 1: so they do have a little bit of momentum if

538
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: you believe in such things. They do a good job

539
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: against the pass on defense, and similar story, Wyoming starts

540
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: out very sluggish. Of the Iowa game Oregon, they give

541
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 1: up forty nine, but giving up forty nine points to

542
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: Oregon after that, nobody else scored twenty five against Wyoming.

543
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: This team was led by its defense. They beat Colorado

544
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: State in a very strange sixteen to thirteen defensive slugfest.

545
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: They lead FBS teams and turnover margin, and they have

546
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: a Pisman finalist tie. By the way, when I say

547
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 1: that this dude is not. He's large. He's like six five,

548
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: two fifty five. He was a former converted receiver, right

549
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: he is. He's just a very good defensive places. If

550
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: he's got moves, crazy moves, he's got crazy moves. The

551
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 1: offense for Wyoming was largely trash this year. It was

552
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: just they lost too much from twenty sixteen. But the

553
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: defense is really good, especially against the run. They're very

554
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 1: good on passing downs up front. They're just they swarm.

555
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 1: I like them a lot, and I think there's something

556
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: about Big Sky Country Oo Sky Conference, that region. I

557
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: think there's a little bit of pride there. Wyoming to Idaho,

558
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm taking the Cowboys here. We disagree me

559
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: like maybe like seventeen eighteen? Whoa, yeah, how about that?

560
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on to the Birmingham Bowl. They

561
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: played at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. Hmm, December twenty third,

562
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: at high noon on ESPN. We've got the Bulls of

563
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: South Florida at ten and two, a nice year, a

564
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: two and a half point favored over the Texas Tech

565
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: Red Raiders. They come into this matchup at six and six. Damn,

566
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: what's our gift situation? Please? Birmingham Bowl. We have a

567
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: gift suite, Oakley Sunglasses, Beanie and a big game football,

568
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: So nothing that really jumps off the page.

569
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 3: Tie, I'll tell you what jumps off the page to

570
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: me in this one, Dan, Yeah, give me them points, Baby,

571
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 3: give me all them damn points. I think we're looking

572
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 3: at a shootout here. I am taking the path of

573
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 3: least resistance and I think that's USF and their offense

574
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 3: and Quentin Flowers against the Texas Tech defense.

575
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: I am not confident, at.

576
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,719
Speaker 3: Least not overwhelmingly so in their ability to win this

577
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 3: game outright, because it could be a contest where whoever

578
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 3: has the ball asses whoever ends up winning. But I

579
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: like USF a little bit more. I think Charlie Strong

580
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 3: knows how to coach against that Texas Tech offense. So

581
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: give me the bulls to the two to fourteen confidence points.

582
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: Here. We don't have a drive chart to review because

583
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: there have been no games since our last show, correct

584
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: but ty, but if do you have that that tune

585
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: like queued up? This is the ranking the S and

586
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: P plus rankings of South Florida's wins. Here we go

587
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: of those teams.

588
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: One twenty nine one eighteen, eighty six, one, twenty three,

589
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: one oh three, ninety one, nineteen, one sixty.

590
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: They did not beat any good They did not beat

591
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: a single top I guess seventy five team this year.

592
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 1: The best team they beat was Temple. Again, not their

593
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: fault how other teams are, but they had a shot

594
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: against Houston. They lose that game, a winnable game ish

595
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: they lose that game twenty eight to twenty four. Obviously,

596
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: UCF an extraordinarily tough team. They lose that game in

597
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: a shootout and looked very good doing so against a

598
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: top ten team, But there really is no game. We're like, yeah,

599
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: I believe in South Florida they beat this team, so

600
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. But yeah, South Florida had a

601
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: very nice year. You know, the crazy UCF loss. Who

602
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: are you? I think I'm gonna go Texas Tech? Wow,

603
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go Texas Tech. I was not

604
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: crazy about the offensive transition from USF, but I do

605
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: like the fact that defensively both of these teams got better.

606
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: I like the momentum that Texas Tech has after beating

607
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: Texas to finish out the year. I think there is

608
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: a reinvigorated sense among that team. They have stud offensive

609
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: skill guys Kiki Kut, Justin Stockson. I like them both.

610
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to Texas Tech low low, something like eight

611
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: nine points. You are once again seduced by the deep

612
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: blue eyes.

613
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Cliffs, Yeah, blue eyes deep like the sea,

614
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: Cliff Kingsbury.

615
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean I think Charlie Strong might already

616
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: have wandering eyes in Tampa. So we'll see. All right,

617
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: we disagree, Let's move on.

618
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: Also, on December twenty third, the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces

619
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: bull at M and G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas.

620
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 3: This one's at three point thirty in the PM on ESPN.

621
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: We got San Diego stayed at ten and two against

622
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: the Army Knights at nine and three. They had a

623
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 3: nice season. They're only giving away a gift suite in

624
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 3: this game, dam which feels wrong to me.

625
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: Well, it feels like they're hiding something. Ta Lockey Martin

626
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: is they're giving away something good. We're just never gonna

627
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: find out. You gotta sign an NBA before you get

628
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: that gift suite. Huh here is yes, here's the great

629
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: news about the Armed Forces ball given how Army and

630
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: San Diego State play. Schame's gonna take like two hours.

631
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: Schame's gonna go by real quick. It's just run, run, run, run, run,

632
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: run pass. Nope, he scrambled and stayed and bounds run.

633
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god, yeah, it me great. We got the

634
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: Aztecs against the Black Knights here.

635
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be at Greg Max start.

636
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 3: Jeff Bnkin's done a really good job at Army. We

637
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: don't talk about it a whole lot here, but had

638
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: a huge win over Navy again this season.

639
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: It's just good to see him back in a ball.

640
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: You can't root against Army, and I'm not rooting against

641
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 3: Army per se in this football game. My cause for

642
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: pause is it's such a tall order to slow down

643
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 3: or shot Penny. This is a dude for San Diego

644
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: State finished fifth in the Heisman and for good reason.

645
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 3: Over two thousand yards rushing on the year, nineteen touchdowns.

646
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 3: Not sure Army's got enough of a running defense to

647
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 3: get that job done. That to me feels like a

648
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 3: bridge too far for this Black Knights team. I love them,

649
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 3: I love them, I really do. But I gotta go

650
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 3: San Diego State to the twoe to thirty seven confidence

651
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 3: points here.

652
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: Dan, Yeah, I think that's right. I like San Diego

653
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: State by about thirty confidence points, not thirty points in

654
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: this game. San Diego State beats Stanford Northern Illinois, they

655
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: beat Arizona State. They had the bad loss to Fresno,

656
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: and the offense wasn't fantastic or shot Penny was fantastic,

657
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: but the offense as a whole was not wonderful. It

658
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: was basically just like I guess we'll give it to

659
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: a shot Penny left right that as I understand it,

660
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: that was the offense this season. Yes, yeah, so that's fine.

661
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: Good wins. And you know Army had you know, Army

662
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: beat Duke A Bowl team, Navy Eastern Michigan whatever, the

663
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: last second lost to North Texas. You know, real fun

664
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: rushing offense. I'm with you, though Ty. The defense, the defense,

665
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: the defense, or I guess in the Armed Forces Bowl

666
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: the defense is not great. So I think I'm gonna

667
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,440
Speaker 1: go San Diego State here with yeah, about thirty confidence points.

668
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 3: And finally, on December twenty third, another game, a lot

669
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: of action, this one at seven pm Eastern on ESPN

670
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 3: the Dollar General Ball from beautiful lad Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama.

671
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,879
Speaker 3: We've got Toledo the Rockets at eleven and two, an

672
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 3: eight point favorite over Appalachian State. They come into this

673
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: one at eight and four. Talk to me about this

674
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 3: gift suite, Dan, I suspect we're going to have a

675
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: disagreement here, all right, So.

676
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: Dollar General Ball, we have the Amazon Echo, Maui, Jim Sunglasses,

677
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: Timely Watch Company Watch, and a Wilson Football. So the

678
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: good news for all of the app State and Toledo

679
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 1: players is all your data will be collected and stored

680
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: and put away, and your conversations potentially recorded. But you

681
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: could turn on your lights with your voice with the

682
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: Echo's that's great. Listen, there's a reason why, Well, was

683
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: it wearable or was it voice activated? Was in our

684
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: garbage bracket, our secret garbage bracket? I think it was

685
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: voice acting. I think it was voice activated technology. Yeah,

686
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: I this does not appeal to me, the voice activation

687
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: at all.

688
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: You are surprisingly afraid of new technology. I'm technology surprised

689
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 3: by that. Do you put a piece of tape over

690
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 3: your your laptop camera? Come on, Tying, who.

691
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: Is interested in looking at me? I am that's for

692
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 1: sure other than you, ty You just got to take

693
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: precautions and I'm just what who is answer me? This?

694
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: Riddle me this? Dan? Who is interested in looking through

695
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: my camera? I don't know, Ty, Brian Kelly, you're.

696
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 3: Gonna see if you look through my camera, if you

697
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: hack into my matrix, break into my computer, access the

698
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,359
Speaker 3: onboard camera pointed usually at me. You know what, You'll

699
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: probably see a wall. You will see a blank wall

700
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 3: with no.

701
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Art on it. That's what you'll see here in my studio.

702
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: I think at a certain point people are gonna be

703
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: able to spy your your podcasting setup. There's nothing to say.

704
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,839
Speaker 1: What filter is he putting? There's nothing here? Oh who

705
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 1: is Ty talking to to get all this podcasting advice?

706
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: I yeah, I don't. I'm not a big believer in

707
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: letting everybody into my world. And the Amazon Echo is

708
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: part of it. Sorry, Ty, that's not for me.

709
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 3: Whatever, what Jim sunglasses? Are they they sound?

710
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Sunglass branded sunglasses? Are they edgy? I assume Sammy

711
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: Hagar owns some? Yeah, Okay, No, they're not edgy. They are.

712
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: They are very like luxurious vacation or sunglasses. All right.

713
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: Timely watch a good name for a watch. We've talked

714
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,439
Speaker 3: about Timely before. And then the Wilson football. It's better

715
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: than big game football, if only because I'm familiar with Wilson.

716
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 3: So here's what I noticed when I looked at this game,

717
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 3: outside of the fact that they're giving away a cool

718
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 3: device like an Amazon Echo Dan, Yeah, we've got two

719
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: good quarterbacks in this game. I suspect who's ever calling

720
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 3: this football game will be all over the fact that

721
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 3: both Logan Woodside and Taylor Lamb have collectively had fifty

722
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 3: five touchdowns and only eleven interceptions this season. Yeah, it

723
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 3: feels like that will be so much the headline in

724
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 3: this game that we need to give Logan Woodside Taylor

725
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 3: Lamb some sort of celebrity couple.

726
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: Nickname Lamb wood Lambside. What about in like a Logan

727
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,360
Speaker 1: and out like a Lamb Ty, I'd like to announce

728
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: my official resignation from the Come on, if you want

729
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: to go for it, I will not stop you. I

730
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: cannot partake Ty, I cannot go I'll go Lambside. Okay, Lambside.

731
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: So app State, I've always loved me some app State.

732
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: You know that, I know you've got a really unhealthy

733
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: thing for them. You reach into a grab bag of

734
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: app State wins this year and you're coming out with

735
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 1: hard candy. There's not much there. There's no fun size Snickers,

736
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: there's no Sweethearts. You're just getting maybe a Werthers, maybe

737
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: a Werthers. They're the best thing app State basically did

738
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: this year was they lost close to Wake Forest and

739
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: you mess. That's that's the highlight at this point. They

740
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: they're all right on the ground. Jalen Moore is pretty good,

741
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: Taylor Lamb as you mentioned, nice year, a good receiver,

742
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: and Ike Lewis. It was I think a down year

743
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: for Scott Sadderfield and the app State defense. But listen,

744
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: Toledo's a good team. There's no shame in matching up

745
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: against Toledo and bowl season perhaps not coming out on top.

746
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: You mentioned Logan Woodside, Terry Swanson, Deontae John some real

747
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: good receiver you can run on Toledo. That's the interesting

748
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: thing to me is what app State will be able

749
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: to do on the ground. But uh, the Toledo defense

750
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: pretty good. First the pass this is this is a

751
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: good game for lower level stardom, and that's unfair to

752
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: call that, to call Logan Woodside that, But I think

753
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: this should be at the very least fun.

754
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 3: I'm excited about this football game. I think Toledo's played

755
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 3: better teams as you were hinting at I, They're definitely

756
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 3: more battle tested. I am going to go Toledo outright,

757
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 3: but again, because of that rushing component that you mentioned,

758
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 3: an eight point line here seems like it's too much,

759
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go Upstate with the points. But I

760
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 3: do like Toledo outright, and I'm very confident in that.

761
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 3: To the tune of thirty three confidence points.

762
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Dan, Yeah, I'm gonna go Logan Woodside and Toledo by

763
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: high twenties, early thirties in like a Logan out like

764
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: a lamb. Okay, okay, fair enough.

765
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 3: Moving on to the Hawaii Bowl in Aloha Stadium.

766
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: In Honolulu, Hawaii, Dan, Mala khaliki maka oh. I do

767
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: like that song. It's the thing to say.

768
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: On December twenty fourth, at a thirty pm Eastern time

769
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 3: on ESPN.

770
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: Mala is the thing to say.

771
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 3: That's right, m hmm, the thing to say when you've

772
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 3: got Houston at seven and four, when you've got Fresno

773
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: at nine and four. H I think Houston's about a

774
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 3: two and a half point favorite here, Dan, and We've

775
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 3: got an interesting selection of gifts here.

776
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: We do in the Hawaii Bowl, the Hawaii Hawaii Electronics. Yeah,

777
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: gift sweet nothing, voice activated hopefully, Oakley backpack and sunglasses.

778
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: Tory Richard Aloha shirt. Who is Who's Tory Richard? Tory Richard?

779
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: I think is Let's see if Tory Richard is a

780
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 1: known I'm gonna judge based solely on this website. Honolulu

781
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: based resort wear company that loves color and pattern. Okay,

782
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: and I'm looking. It's a good looking website. Tie, good

783
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,839
Speaker 1: looking Prince. I would wear some of this men's gift guide. Yeah,

784
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: you want to send some Tory Richard Lounge and vacation.

785
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: Where to tie in myself? I've never worn a Hawaiian

786
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: shirt in my life. Are do you see yourself transitioning

787
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 1: at no point? And that's a good question too, But no,

788
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: the answer is no, not necessarily to Hawaiian shirts. Tie.

789
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: But I'm talking about like the broader genus, the broader

790
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: phylum of that kind of comfort where later in life

791
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: I don't think I could ever do that. Yeah, but

792
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: you're twenty six now, Tie. I'm talking about later on

793
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,240
Speaker 1: down the road, when you're in your your late fifties,

794
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 1: early sixties. Maybe you're a young grandfather something like that.

795
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 1: Are you going to do you see yourself going into

796
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: that kind like I've already made the move on the

797
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: weekends to the ath leisure lifestyle. That's how I've done that.

798
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm doing that right now, absolutely so that's just the

799
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: next functional step.

800
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: But you can you can go to Wegmans in the

801
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: ath leisure in a way that you can't go to Wegmans.

802
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 3: If you're part of the larger, broader genus phylum of

803
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,400
Speaker 3: Hawaiian shirts, Tommy Bahama shirts and things.

804
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: Well, you're not gonna You're not gonna wear casties on

805
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: the weekend. What are you gonna wear when you're sixty three?

806
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking. Are you gonna go like you're

807
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: like Tony Soprano's number five guy, and you're gonna wear

808
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: all like the Valure No, God, No, I think as suits. No.

809
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: I think what I'll probably find myself doing at that

810
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,879
Speaker 3: advanced stage is probably I have a really nice pair

811
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 3: of slippers, like moccasins. I could see myself wearing the

812
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 3: slippers out places you wouldn't normally wear them. They're not

813
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 3: actually that shoes with lounge wear, but they look like

814
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: they could be shoes. I think I'll push the envelope

815
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 3: as far as that goes.

816
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm talking up top. You're not gonna wear

817
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: a breathable material. It will definitely be breathable, it won't

818
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: be this breathable. It won't be Tory Richard breathable. I will.

819
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 1: I will tell you, low key the thing I will avoid,

820
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,360
Speaker 1: probably the most in later in life, when you know

821
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: you maybe want to hydrobelly a little bit. That kind

822
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 1: of thing. The coaches polo. Oh my god, well I

823
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: avoid that, Like, no, I'm not.

824
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: I had coaches polo is sent to me. I threw

825
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 3: him out, that's the word.

826
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: Like I'd see people our age wearing coaches polo, Like,

827
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Don't do that? That looks horrible.

828
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: You're giving up already. Yeah no, uh so on that

829
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: tangent who's playing in this game again, Also a beach towel,

830
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: pro Athletics surf trunks performance T shirt that does a

831
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 1: good suite. Not bad. That's a that's a good collection

832
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 1: of gifts. Bad. This this game is President State in Houston. Yeah,

833
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: really good. I mean obviously transition here for Houston, and

834
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: they beat USF, They beat Navy, smu Arizona, Texas Tech, Tulane, Memphis,

835
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 1: all winnable for Houston. So schedule, I mean, listen, their

836
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: record tells the story. But they've been all over the

837
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 1: places here. Houston has. Yes, they benched Kyle Allen. I

838
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: think at the end of September, Kyle Postmo was pretty

839
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: good do catalog the Texas transfer. They ran all right

840
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: with him, A couple good senior receivers, real good upfront

841
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: with that Oliver, especially against the run. So a good

842
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: Houston team, I think, I don't know.

843
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:10,240
Speaker 3: I think I trust in Fresno a little bit more.

844
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: Two of their four losses came against Alabama and Washington.

845
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

846
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 3: So I think they're a pretty good team. Jeff Tedford

847
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 3: has done a really good job there. I'm gonna go

848
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 3: Fresno outright to the tune of fifteen confidence points here.

849
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 3: A little bit of a shorter jaunt for them to

850
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 3: get out to a Lolaha stadium as well on Christmas Eve.

851
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, Houston Big Airport might be a little

852
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: bit easier.

853
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: I don't know, but the Big Airport does not move

854
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: them any closer geographically speaking to an island in the

855
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 3: middle of the Pacific Ocean.

856
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: So I like Fresno State, but we disagree. I'm gonna

857
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,240
Speaker 1: go Houston here. I don't know if I fully trust

858
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: Marcus mcmarion is a good quarterback against a pretty good defense.

859
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: I just burped, excuse me, And Fresno's good running the ball.

860
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: I think the defensive improvement they had this year. I

861
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: think the defensive coordinator. Look, I tweeted this earlier primarily

862
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 1: not even primarily exclusively CFL experience. Yeah, great, great love.

863
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: I love the steps that Fresno State took this year.

864
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: They win one out of two against Boise, They beat

865
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: San Diego State, which is an impressive win. Wyoming another

866
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: impressive win. But at that same time, I think I

867
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: trust the overall talent level and the younger Yeah. I

868
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: like the Fresno coaching staff, but I'm going Houston here

869
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: with the basically the exact same confidence about fifteen. All right,

870
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: let's move on.

871
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl. Dam

872
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 3: we got another chick Chicken, Yeah, chicken sponsor the Heart

873
00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 3: of Dallas Bowl. They played in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

874
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 3: It is the day after Christmas, Boxing Day. Mm hmm

875
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 3: if you well, one thirty pm Eastern time on ESPN.

876
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 3: The Utah utes at six and six, a seven point

877
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 3: favorite over West Virginia at seven and five. West Virginia

878
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 3: without Will Greer has been a real treat. And by

879
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 3: a real treat, I mean definitely not a treat at all. Now, now,

880
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 3: I did see some speculation he could play in this game.

881
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's confirmed.

882
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: Don't do that, Will Greer.

883
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, for now, if he is out, and that is

884
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 3: my assumption, I am going to go Utah and Tyler Huntley.

885
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 3: He missed the final game of the year due to

886
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:33,240
Speaker 3: an undisclosed injury. I am going to assume he's coming

887
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 3: back for this football game. So basically a ton of

888
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 3: assumptions at work here.

889
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 1: As I pick Utah.

890
00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: To the tune of twenty five confidence points, I like

891
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 3: them better if Will Greer is out. Even if Will

892
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 3: Greer is back, we don't know what state he will

893
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 3: be in, all.

894
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: Right, I think we agree, ty I really do. And

895
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: by the way, the Zaxby's heard of Dallas balls, gift

896
00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: suite and a football and probably a lot of chicken.

897
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm assuming this suit chicken. I've we'd say this every year.

898
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of us in the last

899
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,799
Speaker 1: year has finally had Zaxby's for the first time.

900
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:07,000
Speaker 3: No.

901
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: Never. Every time I'm in an area, a city of

902
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: town with a Zaxby's, there's always the Bojangles or a Can's,

903
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: or a Popeyes or a Chick fil A, And I

904
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: just would always rather have that, And have heard Zaxby's

905
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 1: is fine. I've just always rather have those other chicken establishments,

906
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:27,279
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Yeah, a weird year for Utah, a

907
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: very un Utah year. They beat Arizona, which was their

908
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 1: only top fifty win on the season. They lose six

909
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: to seven in October November. Good running back in Zach Moss,

910
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: Tyler Huntley as you mentioned, and being beat up, but

911
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 1: he did flash when he was healthy. Darren Carrington didn't

912
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: make a huge difference the transfer from Oregon, but all

913
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 1: around a pretty good defense for Utah, which is probably

914
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 1: the most normal thing in West Virginia. Had their big

915
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: wins against Iowa State, which is very strange to say,

916
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: and Texas Tech and yeah, you mentioned it, well, Greer

917
00:48:54,160 --> 00:48:56,239
Speaker 1: when he's healthy, that offense is really fun. And good,

918
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: really good trio receivers. Dia is mostly okay, but I

919
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: think I'm going to Utah here. Utah is I still

920
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: believe in our theory that you do not want to

921
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: play Utah when you have cracks, and literally West Virginia

922
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 1: has cracks. So I'm going to go with Utah as

923
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown favorite, probably in the seventeen eighteen range. Moving

924
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: on to the Quick Lane Bowl.

925
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 3: We had promised a two hour special standalone podcast talking

926
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 3: about the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field. Yep, I

927
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:29,239
Speaker 3: don't think we were serious about doing that extended podcast.

928
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 3: Oh Bo December twenty sixth, also in Boxing Day, this

929
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 3: one at five point fifteen pm Eastern on ESPN. We've

930
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 3: got Duke at six and six, four and a half

931
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 3: points the favorite over Northern Illinois. The Huskies finished the

932
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 3: year eight and four. This is what I would classify

933
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 3: as an elite level gift suite situation.

934
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: Ty, You're not wrong. You're not at all wrong. The

935
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: Quick Lane Bowl is giving away one hundred and seventy

936
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: five dollars gift certificates to best. Okay, not bad. That's incredible.

937
00:50:02,360 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: First of all, if that was it, Ty.

938
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's better than the Zager What was the Zaxby's

939
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 3: bull football.

940
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, let's go the Quick Lane Bowl. JBL Bluetooth headphones,

941
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 1: big year for Bluetooth. Those are probably really good headphones.

942
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't review Bluetooth headphones, but I assume

943
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: JBL makes a quality pair. I don't assume. Yeah, life

944
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: size fat head decal for each participant of his own likeness.

945
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 1: I would that is the only gift and be totally cool.

946
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: Hold up your own head at a basketball game after

947
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: the fact. That's perfect. I want nothing more in life.

948
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:42,919
Speaker 1: An Ogio backpack, though, with the tag would be nice

949
00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: and good news. The Quick Lane Ball's giving them away

950
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: a mini helmet, a hoodie, a workout pair of workout

951
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: short it's a winter hat, and a vintage football. You

952
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: know what, Quick Lane Ball. That's a that's a big

953
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 1: fat salute from the solid verbal you know it? Baby?

954
00:50:55,280 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 3: All right, Northern Illinois has a d that I think

955
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,879
Speaker 3: I like more than anything else.

956
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: In this game, Dan, they were.

957
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,959
Speaker 3: Really good shout out Sutton Smith. Yeah, they're really good

958
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: all year against the run. Take a look at a

959
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 3: game they played earlier in the year against San Diego State.

960
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 3: We talked about them before we talked about Rashad Penny

961
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 3: before him being fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting, blah

962
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:22,720
Speaker 3: blah blah, over.

963
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: Two thousand yards rushing. Only two teams all year that.

964
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 3: Held him under four and a half a carry. One

965
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 3: of them was Boise, the other was NIU. Right, And

966
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 3: that's important to note here because Duke was much more

967
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 3: effective as a running team this year than they were

968
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,320
Speaker 3: a passing team. We talked so much about Daniel Jones

969
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 3: and how he's got so much promise for Duke. Well,

970
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 3: he was a much better runner this season than he

971
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 3: was a passer. And I think that's an interesting matchup

972
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 3: here that definitely favors the Huskies.

973
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 1: I like a close game. I like Niu outright to

974
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: the two to seventeen confidence points. Dan, I really wanted

975
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: to believe ty because that I defense is really really good.

976
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to know because what Duke's defense was very

977
00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: good this year. They took a lot of chances, they

978
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: brought a lot of heat, they confused a lot of quarterbacks,

979
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: they shut down a lot of running games. The problem was,

980
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,360
Speaker 1: as you mentioned and alluded to, Daniel Jones might not

981
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: just have been a bad passer. And led by his feet.

982
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 1: He may have been the worst throwing quarterback in the

983
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: ACC this year, I know was. He had disappointingly abysmal

984
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: So that is worrisome against the NIU team. But I

985
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: do think there is a talent differential. I like the

986
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: fact that David Cutcliffe, as a steadying influence there now

987
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 1: has a defense time to game plan. I think he's

988
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: all right. I like that NIU beat Nebraska. They had

989
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: the nice win against Western Michigan, a different Western Michigan

990
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 1: team this year, obviously, But I'm going to go with

991
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: Duke here. I'm a little bit more confident than you

992
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: are here. So Duke finished out the season pretty well.

993
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: They beat what Northwestern early wake later on, So I'm

994
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 1: gonna go Duke with about I don't know, nine or

995
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: ten points here are confidence ten points? Huh? Yeah? How

996
00:53:01,440 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: about that? We just agree moving on three more bowl

997
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: games here? Yeah? Also, by the way, can I make

998
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: a very quick request about the Quick Lane Bowl? Ish? Yeah,

999
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to Detroit in late January for a wedding

1000
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: because obviously, who doesn't go to Michigan in late January.

1001
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: I need to know where to get the best Detroit

1002
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: style pizza in the greater Detroit area. All right, I

1003
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: know some people say Buddies is like a popular place.

1004
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: I want to know because I've had good Detroit pizza

1005
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 1: outside of Detroit. I want to know in the greater

1006
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: Detroit area where to get that best like that caramelized

1007
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: cheesy crust kind of thing. That's what I want. Sorry, continue,

1008
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Phoenix.

1009
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 2: Dan.

1010
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 3: Also on Boxing Day, December twenty sixth, nine pm Eastern

1011
00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 3: on ESPN, We've got k State the Wildcats at seven

1012
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 3: and five, a two and a half point favorite over

1013
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 3: UCLA at six and six. I think in underrated gift

1014
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 3: suite here, Dan.

1015
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Cactus Bowl is doing a pretty good job

1016
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,839
Speaker 1: taking care of its players. You have the the yetti

1017
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: cooler and tumbler. Something to keep you cool out in

1018
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: the desert. Sure, keep your keep your liquids cool. You

1019
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,280
Speaker 1: got a fossil watch, an Ogio backpack, legendary hat, JBL

1020
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: flip for a speaker, a blanket. It does get chilly

1021
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: at night in the desert. Tie it's a miss. I

1022
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: don't know that. It's this cloud cover, right, you got

1023
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: no cloud cover. It does get chili. You get that

1024
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: that that low pressure. I think it's low pressure that

1025
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: comes on into the desert. So yeah, this is, you know,

1026
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: Kansas State UCLA A strange matchup. I don't know, because

1027
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:35,960
Speaker 1: I know there are Kansas State coaches making their way

1028
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: to UTEP. The offensive coordinator, I think he's staying on

1029
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: for this game. But there are eyes elsewhere on the

1030
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: Kansas State staff. Bill Snyder announced or there are rumblings

1031
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: that he is coming back for next year at seventy seven,

1032
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:49,919
Speaker 1: seventy eight, seventy nine years old, whatever he is now.

1033
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: And you say like going through their own transitions, So distractions,

1034
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:58,800
Speaker 1: I would say, but two teams that had strange years.

1035
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: I think Kansas State's a little better.

1036
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 3: They had strange years. You already know my philosophy on

1037
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 3: bowl games and coaches who.

1038
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 1: Leave or are findered.

1039
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there's no way I could possibly go with

1040
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 3: UCLA in this football game. I Am going to go

1041
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 3: k State outright. The other interesting factoid that mainly interests

1042
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 3: Tie Hill de bramt Oh. I have not heard any

1043
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: chatter about Josh Rosen being held out of this game.

1044
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 3: By all accounts, he's healthy, he's practicing. It would not

1045
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 3: surprise me if he caught a wicked case of the

1046
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 3: flu before kickoff and just couldn't play.

1047
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: You've got the black lung pop.

1048
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 3: It would not surprise me if that happened, because, in

1049
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 3: case you haven't looked, Josh Rosen is projected to be

1050
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 3: a top five pick.

1051
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, rightfully, so when he is on, he is incredible.

1052
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 1: You sla though, Yeah, you're right, the big mess. They

1053
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 1: beat A and M and it was all downhill from there.

1054
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: They do beat Oregon, but it's with no Justin Herberts,

1055
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: I think the offense had a nice enough with Jed Fish.

1056
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: I think they made some they took some strides forward.

1057
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 1: Jordan lastly had a breakout year. The defense was just

1058
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: a joke.

1059
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 3: Tie. Yeah, I was gonna say, it's probably safe to

1060
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 3: assume that whatever case State runs on offense, UCLA is

1061
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 3: not going to stop it.

1062
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:17,319
Speaker 1: Not in a game. It doesn't mean anything. You know,

1063
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: when you reach into the back of your fridge and

1064
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, like oh this is still here, this,

1065
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it has developed a colony. There is

1066
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 1: a lost city in this topperware of meatballs. That's the

1067
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,879
Speaker 1: UCLA's run defense. That's where they hang out the back

1068
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: of your fridge. And Kannastate isn't great. They beat Oklahoma

1069
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: State and Iowa State, two very good wins, but up

1070
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: and down in the air. I like the steps that

1071
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: the receivers took no matter who. The quarterback was pretty

1072
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: stout up front. So I'm going to go with just

1073
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: the consistency of Kansas State here. I think they went

1074
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: a close one. I'm going to say low teens thirteen

1075
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 1: fourteen point confidence here, I'm going to go eighteen. Okay. Also, also, Ty,

1076
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,799
Speaker 1: if you are visiting the the Greater Phoenix area for

1077
00:56:57,840 --> 00:57:02,240
Speaker 1: this game, Pizzeria Bianco or Peteleta both great pizza places

1078
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: or great Pizza town. Two more games.

1079
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 3: Let's move on to December twenty seventh. Yes, at one

1080
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,879
Speaker 3: point thirty. Also in ESPN, we've got Florida State at

1081
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 3: six and six, a fifteen and a half point favorite

1082
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 3: over Southern Miss. They come into this game at eight

1083
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 3: and four. Your gift situation, Dan.

1084
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: Your gift situation in the Independence Bowl is fine, gift

1085
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: sweet timely watch new era skull cap in a football

1086
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 1: It's fine, nothing great.

1087
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 3: This is an interesting matchup for me because you know

1088
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 3: how I feel about coaches when they leave and what

1089
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 3: that does to bowl teams. I don't know if that

1090
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 3: plays too much of a factor here. I don't think

1091
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 3: the problem with Florida State was that they were looking

1092
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 3: to mail it in. I feel like the guys who

1093
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 3: are out there played hard, but by virtue of not

1094
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 3: having a quarterback and maybe by virtue of just not

1095
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 3: being as good collectively as we thought preseason. It didn't

1096
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 3: show on the win loss record, but they were playing

1097
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:11,919
Speaker 3: hard for the most part. I think they're good enough

1098
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 3: to win this game to cover this spread, even if

1099
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 3: it's just cam Akers twenty five times.

1100
00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, fair enough, I mean there is I mean,

1101
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: it goes against your rule kind of right, it does?

1102
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: It does.

1103
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 3: This is one exception where I am going to go

1104
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 3: FSU despite the fact that they lost a coach.

1105
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, pretty good defense. Florida State signature win, barely beating Wake.

1106
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: What's up? What a year? Also signature win that time

1107
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: they had to reschedule a game. They decided not to

1108
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: reschedule because they really wanted to get into a ball game,

1109
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 1: keep a weird streak alive. So yeah, what a weird

1110
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: year for Florida State. Southern miss pretty good year. I

1111
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: like Ito Smith, good running back Corey Robertson. I would

1112
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: say maybe best receiver in Conference USA. He and Thomas

1113
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: Owens very good receivers this year. What do you know

1114
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: about Rakkeem booth Ty? What do you know about rokey

1115
00:58:59,880 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 1: on Ty? Amazing linebacker for Southern Myss. The talent differential

1116
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: I think is going to be too much. You're right.

1117
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: I think Florida State keeps as simple. I think they

1118
00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: are energized by a new era. By the way, this

1119
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: game is sponsored by walk Ons Bistro and Bar. It's

1120
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: the walk Ons bstro and Bar Independence Bowl. I didn't

1121
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: even give the name of the bowl, did I? Yeah,

1122
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean you said Independence Bowl. Okay, yeah, walk Ons.

1123
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: It's a bistro and bar. Right, it appears walk Ons.

1124
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: I've never been to. I don't think I've been to

1125
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: a walk Ons. Maybe I have, I don't know. They're

1126
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 1: in Louisiana and Texas. It is a sports bar. They

1127
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: have waffle fries. Van Pelt appears on their website, so

1128
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: he is affiliated with them in some fashion. They spell

1129
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: bistro in a way too cute eaux way yea they

1130
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 1: that thing. I'm not listen. You want to you want

1131
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: to say, go Tigers with the g e a u X.

1132
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. That's cool. Not with it. I

1133
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: don't know. It's too much. It's asking a lot so

1134
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: good look in restaurant as far as I can tell,

1135
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: independence bawl. I'm going to take Florida State here low twenties.

1136
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,919
Speaker 1: And finally, you did you mention a new era at

1137
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Florida State? Yeah?

1138
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 3: I did, perfect segue to talk about the New Era

1139
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 3: Pinstripe Bowl. They played in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.

1140
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,920
Speaker 3: They play this one on December twenty seventh at five

1141
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 3: point fifteen pm Eastern Time on ESPN DAN A clash

1142
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 3: between two seven and five Titans. Yes, we've got the

1143
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: Iowa hawk guys a three point favorite over the Boston

1144
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 3: College Eagles. Everyone is going to make fun of this game,

1145
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 3: and they're going to make fun of it because it's

1146
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 3: between Iowa and BC and it's not an exciting matchup.

1147
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 3: They're going to make fun of it because the gift

1148
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: suite is only a variety of New Era products. People

1149
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 3: are going to make fun of it sight unseeing, so

1150
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 3: they just don't want to watch it. There's really no

1151
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: sex appeal here. But in fairness, I really do like

1152
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 3: the year that Nate Stanley had for Iowa.

1153
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1154
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 3: Absolutely what a campaign as a sophomore, only six interceptions

1155
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 3: the full season. Iowa maybe not the most exciting team

1156
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 3: this season, but they had a quality win over Ohio State.

1157
01:01:08,800 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 3: They damn near beat Penn State if it weren't for

1158
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 3: a touchdown in the back of the end zone to

1159
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 3: close out the game and lose twenty to nineteen. This

1160
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 3: is a good football team that went toe to toe

1161
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: against some of the better teams in the Big Ten.

1162
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 3: And despite the fact that BC sort of invented itself

1163
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 3: as like this power rushing attack behind aj Dillon, I

1164
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 3: am still gonna have to go Iowa here, gotta beat

1165
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 3: my heart Dan.

1166
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Okay, really good model ideas with slogan ideas for Iowa football. Listen,

1167
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: not that bad. Nah, Hey, they had a quality win.

1168
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Hey they almost beat this team. Just I can see

1169
01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 1: it on the poster now. Yeah, yeah, this game is fine.

1170
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 1: I think there's good stories here. I mean, Iowa obviously

1171
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: had the signature, went over Ohio State, they had the

1172
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 1: early good win against Iowa State. It wasn't a great offense.

1173
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: It was a disappointing year. I think for Ackronwadley and

1174
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:01,840
Speaker 1: the running game on the ground, But yeah, you're right,

1175
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 1: Nate Stanley was a revelation at times. The defense played

1176
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: really well up front. I think they only gave up

1177
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: twenty five plus points once in Big Ten play and

1178
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,479
Speaker 1: that was to Wisconsin. Game got real ugly, real quick,

1179
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: but otherwise really nice here in the Big Ten. Boston

1180
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,919
Speaker 1: College I think low key a very good story as well.

1181
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: In the ACC they beat Northern Illinois, which, again, especially

1182
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: to you, that must be impressive. Sure they beat Louisville,

1183
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: they beat Florida State, Yes they were down years down.

1184
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: Defense for Louisville and Florida State was a mess, but yeah,

1185
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon was really nice. The duo of Zach Allen

1186
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,920
Speaker 1: and Harold Landry was wonderful, maybe one of the best

1187
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: three bookend defensive line duos in the ACC with Clemson

1188
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 1: and maybe I don't even know who else. Who else

1189
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 1: was good? NC State had NC State lined, Yeah, Boston College.

1190
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 1: If Daniel Jones was not the worst passing ACC quarterback,

1191
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: it was probably Anthony Brown. It just yeah, you know,

1192
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 1: it's a reality hit. A couple of good games but

1193
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: mostly disappointing. I'm going to go Iowa as well. I'm

1194
01:03:01,160 --> 01:03:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna go with the Hawks as well. And in addition,

1195
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: if anybody is visiting New York, Ty will give you directions.

1196
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 1: It's a quick drive to Allentown and the Eastern PA,

1197
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: the area in which Ty lives, and he will put

1198
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 1: you up. It's real. He's got a big couch. No,

1199
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 1: if you're coming to If you're coming to New York

1200
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,520
Speaker 1: for this game, tweet us or tweet me. If you

1201
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 1: need any food recommendations, happy to help. There's a ton

1202
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: of good food. Don't eat at the three story Olive

1203
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: Garden if you're coming to New York. That's all I ask.

1204
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 1: Fair enough. So, yeah, Iowa, are you picking? God? I don't.

1205
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm not super confident this game. I'm gonna go like

1206
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:41,640
Speaker 1: ten to eleven. All right, I'm gonna go Iowa nineteen points.

1207
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, there you have it. Uh, thank you

1208
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 3: for bearing with us. Fun show covered a bunch of

1209
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 3: ground here in the Bowls season. By the time we

1210
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 3: do our next show, there will be bulls that are

1211
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,600
Speaker 3: in the books which we can discuss briefly. But for

1212
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 3: the most part we're going to be talking recruiting and

1213
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 3: the new signing day format. We're going to be talking

1214
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 3: about some additional Bowl games that you might be on

1215
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 3: the fence about that you might still need to fill

1216
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 3: out for your confidence pool. The picks, at least to

1217
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 3: my knowledge, don't lock, which means that obviously the games

1218
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 3: that you've selected that have been played, you can't change those,

1219
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 3: But the ones that have yet to be played, you

1220
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,640
Speaker 3: can change those. You can move them around a little

1221
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 3: bit if your confidence wanes or there's an injury. So

1222
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 3: we will be here all throughout bull season. We're going

1223
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,959
Speaker 3: to preview a bunch more games. We got four Bowl

1224
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 3: preview shows. Next Wednesday is going to be one of
