It's frigid, it's blustery. 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.839 It's New York City, and that can only mean that 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.879 it is Dan Rubinstein, sir, how are you? 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.960 I'm good, Ty, I mean, I'm all right. But the 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:42.000 mere fact that we're getting into our two hour Mega 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:45.360 quick Lane Bowl Special, Yeah, how about it.

We are now squarely in the 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:03.040 Bowl pre viewing segment of our solid verbal season. We 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:06.040 don't have games to discuss, at least not this coming Saturday, 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:09.240 but we do have ones that are on the horizon. 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:11.520 Yeah, get in on the bullpool. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.440 We've got links posted out on the Facebook page, We'll 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.440 post it on Twitter. We'll continue posting it on our 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:22.039 web page as well. Forty one games for you to pick. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:23.959 We're going to do our best here to try and 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.160 talk you through them and at least give you some 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.600 sense of who Dan and I are going to pick. 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:31.720 On tonight's show. 0:01:32.400 --> 0:01:35.600 We've got some news to discuss that we didn't discuss previously. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:39.680 We've got a whole slew of games to discuss here, Dan, 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:40.520 do we count these up? 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.319 Do you know how many we've got tonight? We have? 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.240 I think we're into double digits, ten twelve games. We 0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.000 got a bunch a heavy lift tonight in terms of 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:53.760 Bowl games. Dan, eight, nine, ten, I'm eleven twelve. I'm 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:59.120 seeing twelve games. Tie, geez yeah, Ken ready, I have nuggets, Tie, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.520 I have so many nuggets about these. I'm gonna need 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:04.520 some sauce, Tig. I'm gonna have some spicy sauce from you. 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:06.840 A little Chick fil a sauce with those nuggets sounds 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.800 good to me. Do you know what chick fil a 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.160 sauce is? Is that a rhetorical question? 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:13.840 You know? I don't know, But do you know what 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:18.080 comprises Chick fil a sauce. I have absolutely no idea. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.919 Do you like Chick fil ace? I love it. It's great. 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:25.600 I want to say it's a like a barbecue honey 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:30.080 mustard hybrid. Okay, I believe that is the case. It 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:34.560 looks like Okay, officially, the copycat recipe says, whisk together 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.520 a little bit of mayonnaise, honey mustard, lemon juice and 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:41.640 barbecue sauce. That's not too too bad. I could probably 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:44.200 make that on my own. I mean, you're making your 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.440 own Franklin barbecue sauce. I am. What can't you do? 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:46.840 Well? 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.840 We got a lot of nuggets here to talk about 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.480 in Bowl country, and we'll get to those. I promise. 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:55.680 We'll get to the news, I promise. But the only 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.040 bit of housekeeping news that we must discuss first is 0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:01.120 that the live show is currently sold out. If you 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.320 go on out to the Facebook event, if you go 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.880 to our Facebook page, if you go to our web 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.920 page or Twitter account, Instagram, all of those spots have 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.639 links back to our ticketing site. Right now, they're sold out. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.200 We're trying to hold some back for people who might 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.840 be coming to Atlanta for the game and for just 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.200 other folks in Atlanta who might decide at the last 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.679 minute that they want to come that a lot will 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.600 go back on sale after we know who's playing in 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.680 the National Championship game. But as we've said time and 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.760 time again, now, if you are going to be in Atlanta, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:38.000 if you're thinking about coming to Atlanta, you're not sure 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:40.720 about the show, but you're interested, please do send us 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.600 an email at soliverble at gmail dot com. It helps 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.600 Dan and I out just to figure out what kind 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.920 of crowd are we looking at here that we haven't 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.200 already accounted for. So soliverb at gmail dot com. It's 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.400 going to be smashing, good fun. If you might be interested, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:57.080 give us a holler. 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.360 Let us know. Yeah, Atlanta, friends of ours I mean 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.160 when I say friends of ours, I mean for ballers. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.480 You guys, grab these tickets quickly. Oh, they're going like hotcakes. Dan, 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.520 I figured we'd given enough people lead time to be like, 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.280 all right, we've got a few weeks till that. Like, No, 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.400 it was like two days they were all gone. So 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.200 I was impressed. I was as well, I'm very excited 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.640 about that show. Yes, it's gonna be a we have 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:22.320 I want to say, mixed media plans. Yes, were we know, 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.800 like charging money is a thing that we were very 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.560 thankful that we're able to do that and people are 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:30.800 able to support the show. So we are trying our 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.120 best to give you not just us sitting there and 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.680 giving you a Q and A, but an actual capital 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.400 S show with Capital F friends and media pals and 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.000 all sorts of things like that. So we're very grateful 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:44.279 we have this opportunity. So we cannot wait to hang. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:49.240 I'm thinking space opera like in Star Wars episode three. Mmm, 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:54.440 fully nude, very thematic this week by the way, Yes, 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:55.520 oh yeah, that's true. 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.920 The Star Wars the news, not the nude. Correct. All right, 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:06.000 well on that now, Oh we have older but still 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:06.839 breaking news. 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:13.559 We talked a lot about the debacle, the raging tire fire, 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:18.920 the dumpster fire, whatever superlative you'd like to use. At 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.799 Tennessee regarding their coaching search, we talked about all the jokes. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.240 We didn't talk about the actual coach. The actual coach 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.120 is Jeremy Prewett. They hired him away from Alabama. I 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.599 believe Prewitt will still be coaching in the playoff, Is 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:34.159 that correct? 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.280 That is the early word, though subject to change as 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.760 we know what happens with the Alabama coordinator right subject 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:41.239 to change. 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:45.360 But Jeremy Prewitt has had a pretty successful run at 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.840 at Georgia, at Florida State, most recently at Alabama. He's 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.800 coached at a very high level. He's been a defensive coordinator. 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.720 The early read on him is that he's going to 0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.240 bring I'm laughing as I say this, but a more 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:04.120 aggressive hacking mentality. Hell yeah, with him from Tuscaloosa up 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:09.200 there to Knoxville after spending however many years now under 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.719 Butch Jones, that is something that I think. 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.480 Tennessee fans could get pretty excited about. 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:17.560 So Jeremy Prewitt at long last tabbed as the new 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:18.040 head man. 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:21.720 Yeah, and the ceiling is pretty high. Tennessee has phenomenal facilities. 0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:24.160 They can attract a lot of talent. The big thing 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.600 to me is, and this has been impressive early with 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.359 what can Jeremy Prewitt attract in the way of assistant 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:32.520 coaches and support staff, strength and conditioning. He just hired away. 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.240 I don't have his name in front of me, but 0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:37.240 the sort of de facto GM of LSU football, who 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.320 I think is a Tennessee native who helps out with 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:43.320 operations and recruiting, and so you have to assume or 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.640 not assume. But I would say that the optimist looks 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.680 at Jeremy Prewitt and says he's worked with three top 0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:52.800 level coaches and Mark Rick, jimbo Fisher and obviously Nick Saban. 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.520 What has he taken from them organizationally? How will he 0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.560 deal with people? Is he perhaps more mature than he 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.200 has put out there in the years past. So I 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.800 think ceiling wise, it is exceptionally high with how he's 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.800 been able to hire early on, and I am exceedingly 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.120 curious at this point without a full staff, how he 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.360 rounds out the recruiting class, which I know we're going 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.800 to talk about momentarily just reporting in general, both with 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.240 this early signing period that begins next week. I think 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.880 it's the twentieth to the twenty second, and then the 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.640 more standard signing day in early February. So there's a 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.840 lot to be optimistic about, I guess cautiously optimistic about 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.680 with hiring somebody without head coaching experience, but a ton 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.200 of high level experience in that region. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:38.920 Yeah, and you mentioned recruiting. This seems like a natural 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:42.560 segue to talk about what's going on in the recruiting world. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.680 They're basically reformatting signing day as we know at the 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.440 signing period as we know it. And we did have 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.880 a question come through, is this something that we're going 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.440 to talk about? Well, yeah, it's college football. We will 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:59.240 be talking about it next Wednesday, as that's kind of 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:02.720 the the new signing day. Is that how they're trying 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:03.640 to brand this thing now? 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.880 I don't know if it's a they trying anything, but 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.840 I think schools in general are treating this like it 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.440 is the traditional signing day. You have the three days, 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:17.520 which gives you know, recruits and coaches whatever flexibility early 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.320 on just to make sure everything is in order by 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:23.320 the twentieth, twenty first, or twenty second. It hurts I 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.760 think prospective kids who would have more time to take 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.800 visits and see how things shake out after high school 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.439 football season's end and bowl season ends, so there's a 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.160 little bit of flexibility gone. I think in general, the 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.640 bigger programs, Power five type programs will have rounded out 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.839 their class maybe like sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen kids out 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.640 of an average of about twenty five. So yes, it 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:48.760 is the de facto signing day. This is what we 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.920 will be paying attention to, I think more, but certainly 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.880 more to come. It hurts schools like Stanford Notre Dame 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.160 with more rigorous academic requirements because a lot of the 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.480 times kids are waiting to find out and get their grades, 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:05.480 waiting on a school and so schools like that, And 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.880 I know David Shaw has spoken out against this that 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:10.959 it really does hurt them. So we'll be curious to 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:14.280 see how many kids don't sign early in hopes that 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:15.960 if they want it to go to a place like 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.160 Stanford or Notre Dame. Those are the two biggest I 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:23.400 think academically right now, you know how that affects their 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.920 their own timing. So it should be interesting to see. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.160 And do you have you been paying attention at all 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:28.440 to this? 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:28.760 No? 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:33.880 Minimal? Okay, real quick, ty, this is and I think 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:36.160 a lot of commitments will be happening. Will obviously be 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.640 reviewing it after the fact. Here's your top twelve team 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.720 rankings and this one subject. This is an. 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:46.240 Important primer because you know my stance on recruits generally, 0:09:46.559 --> 0:09:48.959 It's not that I'm not into it. Wait and see, Yeah, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:51.160 I'm just not into it until I absolutely have to 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:54.040 be into it. Recruiting being the lifeblood of college football, 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.600 you can't avoid it. It's important. I just haven't looked 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.719 into it. It's it's kind of coming early this year 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.000 because this new format. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.280 Yes, so you're absolutely right. Here is the twenty four 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:09.240 to seven composite rankings right now, Ohio State, Texas, Hey, Texas, nice, 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.840 Miami makes sense. Georgia, Penn State and Notre Dame at 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.680 five and six, Oklahoma seven, Auburn, Alabama. Oregon's at ten. 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.240 They were a little bit higher, but have had some 0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:22.640 decommitments after Willie Taggart left. Washington right there at eleven 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:26.679 and Jim Harbaugh and Michigan at twelve. So I think 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.360 a pretty familiar group. But Texas at number two, certainly 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.040 they have the regional talent to justify. So yeah, that 0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:38.200 all feels about right. And quarterback wise, it looks like 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.840 a lot of the a lot of the guys that 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.320 you would recognize team wise. I mean, Clemson has the 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.360 top quarterback in the class, Georgia has number two, Washington 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.800 has two top like fourteen quarterbacks, Oregon got their guy, 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.280 Notre Dame has Phil Jerkovic. Yeah, right, is that his 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.440 name yep. Interestingly enough, Utah has a top ten quarterback 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:01.600 in the country. Saw that quarterback? Yeah? So yeah, Michigan 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.920 State with the number fifteen overall quarterback. So that's cool 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:06.840 to see if they can sort of keep that quarterback 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.840 play at a high level. And Justin Rodgers appears to 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.840 be a top five guy for TCU. So looks like 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.040 a pretty good class of guys going all over the 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:16.760 country to powers. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.640 All right, Well, we're going to talk about this in 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:23.200 much much more detail on the show we do next week. 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:27.400 I guess that'd be December twentieth. We'll also preview Bowls 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.760 on that show, which means it's going to be a 0:11:29.800 --> 0:11:32.480 longer podcast than you and I would typically do, but 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.800 we want to make sure we cover all the relevant 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.800 information recruiting and bowl season. We got a bunch of 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.840 previews that we've started to look at for next Wednesday, 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:43.760 so stay tuned for that. 0:11:43.840 --> 0:11:45.440 Can I ask you a question real quick before we 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.920 move on? Sure, what do you think of the Jeremy 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.480 prout Hire for Tennessee? I like it. 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:56.880 I think that bringing some sort of toughness with him 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.400 from his last role is something that Tennessee fans should 0:12:00.880 --> 0:12:03.840 should be excited about. To your point, he has coached 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.960 at a very high level. But the question always remains 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:12.920 he hasn't been a head coach previously. Sure, so not 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.840 everyone ends up being Kirby smart. Will there be an 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.080 adjustment period? How will he deal with being in the 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:21.680 fish bowl that is Tennessee. It's not an easy job. 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.680 So I will wait and see on that front, how 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.800 he handles not only that increase in responsibility but also 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.199 just that spotlight that he's going to be under. 0:12:33.760 --> 0:12:37.040 We don't know. That part remains to be seen true, 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.559 all right, fair enough? I mean that they were down 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.199 to and I say that in a weird, facetious way, 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:46.000 but they had taken to interviewing SEC defensive coordinators. Another 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:47.760 one of the big names was I think Kevin Steel 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:52.000 from Auburn. So certainly they had finished setting their sites 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:56.920 at high ish and weird choices at head coach with 0:12:56.960 --> 0:13:00.360 guys with head coaching experience, perhaps at Rutgers, and then 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:03.120 Dave Dorn and David Cutcliffe and Mike Gundhy, and then 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.040 they were sort of zeroing in on perhaps more realistic 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:09.240 in the way of coordinators that, to their credit, won't 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.880 cost as much more money for assistance, you know, more 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.080 runway to prove themselves early on as a head coach 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.920 instead of needing immediate results. So I don't think it's 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:20.319 the worst thing in the world. I am. I'm curious, 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:24.000 I like it. I am reserved about loving it same 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:24.400 all right. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.679 The only other bit of coaching news that I wanted 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.480 to discuss, Sunny Dikes is going to be taking over 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:36.800 at SMU Chad Morris left for Arkansas. Yep, Sunny Dikes 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.280 is going to be coaching the Bowl game for SMU. 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:42.480 This is It's a rare move. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:47.480 It's not entirely unprecedented, but certainly not the kind of 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.360 thing that I can ever remember discussing in the ten 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:53.559 years of us doing this podcast. A new coach coming 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.520 in nothing to do with the program previously, will now 0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.520 be coaching the Bowl game for SMU against Louisian Tech. 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.400 I'm gonna give you the option to change your pick 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.360 from SMU to Louisiana Tech because I had LA Tech 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.600 to begin with. I'm on this thing now where I'm 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.720 not going to go too heavy on teams that lost 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.120 to coach, and in the case this game, even though 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.240 SMU was favored, I was gonna go law Tech. But 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.480 this to me seems like a historically terrible decision, despite 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.080 the fact that nothing's really riding on this game. I 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:26.880 just don't see how a team can come in and 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:29.600 feel good about its chances with a brand new coach 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:30.360 for one game. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.440 I'm gonna stick. Well, No, I'm gonna say law Tech. 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.840 I think this has the makings for a just a mess. 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:39.640 And by the way, Ty, I am a little bit 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.920 disappointed in you for not knowing your You're Brian Kelly history. 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:48.000 But he coached Cincinnati like two weeks after being named 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.480 the head coach there. He arrived there from Central Michigan. 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.280 I believe. Yeah, that's right, and he did coach Cincinnati, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:58.840 and I forget which ball, let's assume it's like the 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.480 Motor City bawl. I think that's a fair guess, but 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.760 that I did not come up with that myself. I 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:06.960 saw somebody else sweet that out and just looked it 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.800 up myself. But yeah, Brian Kelly did it at Cincinnati, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:13.720 so there is recent precedent, and I guess he followed 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.520 up that real quick coaching job with a real quick 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.560 exit when Cincinnati went undefeated and went on his way 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.280 to South Bend. This is true. He was there for 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:26.800 four seasons. That is true. He was there longer than 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.960 your boy Willie Taggert. He was. That is factory tie 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:30.840 facts only. 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:35.440 All right, Well, if any other news breaks, we will 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.040 be sure to bring it to you. I would advise 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.880 changing your pickaway from SMU. I think that's gonna be 0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.480 potentially a mess, but we shall wait and see. Before 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:46.320 we get to bulls, though, Dan, we do need to 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:47.320 talk about your shirt. 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.760 Oh yeah, I am. You've got a wedding this weekend. 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:52.800 Oh that one. 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:55.200 Yes, you've got a wedding this weekend.

Sure? 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:36.479 This used to be the Saint Petersburg Bowl. For a 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.040 hot minute, you and I exchanged a few messages on 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.320 the old g chat machine about how much it might 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:45.160 cost to sponsor this bowl, because you'll remember they didn't 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:48.520 have a sponsor. They were openly courting new sponsors for 0:18:48.560 --> 0:18:49.160 this bowl game. 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.840 I want to say, was it two years ago? It 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:56.960 was the Bitcoin Bowl, Yeah, I believe. And then Bitcoin 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.160 was like, yeah, we just we're gonna We're gonna shoot 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:00.800 our value through the roof and I'd spend a day. 0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:03.600 As soon as they decided to part ways with the 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.920 bull scene boom value through the roof. Bitcoin could buy 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.800 the entire city of Saint Petersburg right now, correct economics. Okay, 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:17.320 December twenty first, at eight pm on ESPN, we got 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:22.360 the Bad Boys Mowers Gasparia Bowl. I don't care. We've 0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:23.200 got to match up. 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:28.360 Here between Temple at six and six and Florida International 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.800 at eight and four. Temple is currently about a seven 0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.480 and a half point favorite DAN. Before we get into 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.160 the analysis, it is our gift situation for this contest. 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:43.840 AH our owl friends will be perusing a gift suite. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.159 They will be going home with an Oakley backpack and 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.560 a neck pillow. A neck pillow. Do you own a 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:52.840 neck pillow? I do own a neck pillow. They're pretty 0:19:52.840 --> 0:19:54.600 good also, f I used the Golden Panthers. It's not 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:58.000 just the owls who will have access. But I'm mixed 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.280 on the neck pillow. I think I just need a 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:03.400 better one. I'm for the idea of a neck pillow. 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:04.960 I just haven't found one that I really like. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.080 I'm pro neck pillow. I've used it at home too, 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.720 just when it's laying around the house. Damn, look at you, 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:16.560 casual tie. Here's what we know, ty Owls offense not good, 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:20.360 no good, We're not all that different. But the fact 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:22.639 that they couldn't run this year, and they really could 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:24.520 for a good chunk of Matt Rules time there in 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.919 Philly is disappointing, to say the least. In Jeff collins 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.600 first season, they couldn't really pass it all that much. 0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:32.560 The defense wasn't bad, which is to be expected with 0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:33.960 Collins's background and. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:36.960 What Matt Rule left that team with. Decent on third down, 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.960 Sharif Finch had a nice year on the defensive line. 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:44.520 Temple beat Navy, Tye, that's the thing, okay, so you 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:48.120 know transition here. I would say for the Owls FIU 0:20:48.440 --> 0:20:52.240
