You can go out there and see 65 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: like a two minute condensed video version of what we 66 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: experienced out there in Fargo, North Dakota a lot warmer 67 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: here on the East Coast, but certainly a great experience 68 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: to be out there at North Dakota State. We wish 69 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: that it wasn't against Colgate, which is the only bittersweet 70 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: part of this, but nonetheless a really cool experience to 71 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: witness what goes on at North Dakota State, see the 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: dynasty that has been built, and see the fan support 73 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 1: that was all really exciting, really cool, and we hope 74 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: that you can relive the experience with us by listening 75 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: and watching along. And to those who have asked, we 76 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: enjoyed our burgers from Pounds, Yes, and we enjoyed coffee 77 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: in a pastry from young Blood sort of downtown. That 78 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: was great before the game. And in Minneapolis we had 79 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: a great meal at I think it's Grand Catch, Grand Catch, Yes, 80 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: Grand Catch. 81 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 2: Then we had a superb meet up with a few 82 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 2: dozen for ballers came out last second, which was really 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: cool to see.

We promised that whether it's you know, on 88 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 2: the West coast, somewhere in Texas and the southeast wherever 89 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,239 Speaker 2: we jointly go, we will try to do this because 90 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 2: it was a damn good time. 91 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: There has been immediate feedback to the video to the 92 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: audio that you and I should pick one game every 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: year I'm in and maybe do something similar.

But right, straight black, 115 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: milk and shugar. I went and I went straight black 116 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: today because I was extremely tired. I was texting you. 117 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm twenty minutes out. I'm gonna be able 118 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: to do normal recording time, but it needed shot of life. 119 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: All right, Let's get into some news because the coaching 120 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: carousel keeps us spinnin. And maybe we should start here 121 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: since we opened with Fargo. Yeah, talk Chris Cleman, the 122 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: North Dakota State coach. We talked about it a little 123 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: bit while we were in the upper planes. He was 124 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 2: rumored to be a candidate for Kansas State and now 125 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: he is officially replacing Bill Snyder, the long tenured twice 126 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: tenured Kansas State coach and the little apple in Manhattan, 127 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: Kansas taking over Kansas State. And it's hard for me 128 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 2: to get a full read because the people that are 129 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 2: most vocal are not necessarily the capital t capital p 130 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: the people. And it seems to me like a really 131 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: good hire, yeah for Kansas State. And I know there 132 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: was some pushback, some louder pushback from some people online 133 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 2: about like what are his recruiting ties to Kansas? Bill 134 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: Snyder put together pretty bad classes at Kansas State. They 135 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: don't win at Kansas State with stellar recruiting. That's just 136 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: if you're looking to win that way, it's never gonna work. 137 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: He sixty six and seven, sixty six and sixty seven and. 138 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: Six, seven and six. Yeah, and he's going to be 139 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: the coach this week in the FCS semifinals against South 140 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: fried State. Yeah, and presumably in Frisco. I'm guessing they'll 141 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: make it that far, but you never know. SDSU plays 142 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: them tight. But yeah, I mean, this is a guy 143 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: who's got a sterling record at North Dakota State. He's 144 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: clearly built a dynasty there. My question to you is, 145 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: and I've seen the same stuff like, well what about 146 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: his recruiting? Guess what you're talking to K State here. 147 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: No disrespect to case State, but I mean, you can 148 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: get you can get the singularly the best coach at 149 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: the FCS level. Does it really matter what his recruiting 150 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: ties are? Like that to me is a catch if 151 00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: you can haul that guy in. Clearly there was a 152 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: familiarity there. The ad at k State was the one 153 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: who promoted Cleman initially when he took over at North 154 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: Dakota State. He invited him to come to Manhattan, Kansas 155 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: to be the head football coach. The video of the 156 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: phone call was actually posted on social media by Case State, 157 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: which was really cool, and so we wish him well. 158 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a great hire too. Maybe there's something 159 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: I'm missing because I'm not an expert and I don't 160 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: know the ins and outs of this, but it seems 161 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: to me like if you're Case State and you get 162 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: a guy of this magnitude who has proven that he 163 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: can build his team up regardless of the level, that's significant. 164 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: Yes, and Jim Trussel similar not identical situation going from 165 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 2: Youngstown State to Ohio State. I think the most important 166 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: thing is going to be culture and infrastructure of a 167 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 2: winning program, and Chris Climon brings that. And I am 168 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: excited to see what Kansas State looks like because once 169 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: again the recruiting thing, he will hire assistance familiar with 170 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 2: Texas and junior colleges in Kansas. I am not at 171 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: all worried about that. Bill Snyder's last six seven eight 172 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: classes never finished higher than eighth in the ten team 173 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 2: Big Twelve, and the final year in which there were 174 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: twelve teams in the Big Twelve, Kansas State finished twelve yep. 175 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 2: So there you go. That's not going to be the 176 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 2: lifeblood of a successful program in the state of Kansas 177 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: in the way it is elsewhere in the conference. 178 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: The only thing that I'll add here in closing on this, 179 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: Hire Climban's teams were good on both offense defense. Obviously, 180 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: they produced high level NFL draft picks in the form 181 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: of one Carson Wentz, who everybody knows. At this point, 182 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: they were the number one scoring offense in all of 183 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: FCS this year, and to go along with that, they 184 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 1: had the number three scoring defense. So they were very 185 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: balanced on both sides of the ball. We saw it 186 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: up close and personal. They were done. They were dominant 187 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:09,079 Speaker 1: against against the best, the so called best defense in FCS. 188 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: They were totally dominant in all phases of the game. 189 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: So Chris Climban going to be your new head football 190 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: coach at k State. The other one here that is reported, 191 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: I guess at this point, I don't know if it's official, 192 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 1: but Manny Diaz. 193 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: The yeah as of today. 194 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, the former Miami defensive coordinator who's bounced around and 195 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: has been a mind that many of us have been 196 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: quite interested in as a defensive savant. If you will 197 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: he's headed the Temple. It's going to take over for 198 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: the Owls, the new cradle of coaches. Yeah, that's right 199 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: of Owls. So you have Al Golden and Steve Adazio 200 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: and now Jeff Collins making his way to Atlanta and 201 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. That's official. And so now Many Diez, who 202 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: has been at major programs Texas, Mississippi State, NC State, 203 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: and most recently Miami, makes the move up. I called 204 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: it the reverse Golden because that's what it is, the 205 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: reverse Al Golden going from Miami to Temple. And I 206 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: also saw Don Brown, the Michigan defensive coordinator, was a 207 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: name that was there was a lot of interest in him. 208 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: I guess he interviewed for the job with the Owls. 209 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: But Many Diaz, a younger coach with I think a 210 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: lot of people thinking that he can do some pretty 211 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 1: big things. He's pretty well regarded. So I like the 212 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: hire for Temple. It's an ideal place secretly to. 213 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 2: Be a I guess group of five program, playing in 214 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 2: a big group of five conference and having that sort 215 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: of proximity to the sort of in between the teetering 216 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: talent between group of five and power five with a 217 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 2: lot of talent in the New Jersey area, so very 218 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: cool to see Diaz taking over. 219 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: Like you said, young guy only forty four's bounced around, 220 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: had some good experience with major college programs, has not 221 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: been a head coach yet, so we'll see what he 222 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: can do. Only a prominent defensive coordinator until now, many 223 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 1: Diaz official to Temple elsewhere in the coaching realm, at 224 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: least among some other head coaching positions. I don't know 225 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: if we talked about Hugh Freeze to Liberty, which is 226 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 1: a little weird. 227 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: Only Jesus can handle is junk. That's a quote. 228 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: So we've also got app State, which is in the 229 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: market for a new coach after Scott Saderfield left to 230 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: go to Louisville, reportedly considering both Ruff and McNeil and 231 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: Josh Gaddis. 232 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: I saw Nate Woodie his name May Woody Well, who 233 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: was the old app State defensive coordinator and hired by 234 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, who we presume is now on the open 235 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 2: market with Paul Johnson retiring. 236 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: And in the way of positional coaches, we have Dan 237 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: enos the quarterback coach, the assistant head coach at Alabama. 238 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: He was promoted to the new offensive coordinator spot because 239 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: Mike Loxi left to take the Maryland job. You might 240 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: remember that Dan Enos name. He did coach Central Michigan 241 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: for five years after a rocky start, ended up being 242 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: about a five hundred coach between twenty twelve and twenty fourteen. 243 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 2: You will now bout out Daniel Fever. 244 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Fever, it'll now be his show down there with 245 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: TUA and all of the offensive weaponry that Nick Saban 246 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: returns in twenty nineteen. 247 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: And he's bringing along nobody. No. I was going to say, 248 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,319 Speaker 2: because we mentioned Mike Loxley leaving Alabama, he is bringing 249 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 2: along Butch Jones to Maryland. Butch Jones was an analyst 250 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: for Alabama this year on offense, and we'll be taking 251 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 2: over tight ends and I believe we'll be an associate 252 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 2: head coach for the Terps. And that's in terms of 253 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: big deal stuff. Josh Gattis is actually an interesting name. 254 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 2: You mentioned that with app State. Certainly the Penn State 255 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 2: receivers took a step back this year without him in 256 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 2: State College. That I think a really good job for 257 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: Alabama as the COOC this year. We'll see what happens 258 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: with his position moving forward? 259 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: All right? And then the only other thing that I 260 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: wanted to bring up here, I'm looking at an article 261 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: from a dear friend, Nicole auerback Yes, headlined with quote, 262 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: we don't need to wait another six years colon college 263 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: football leaders ready to discuss eight team playoff, dan Oh, 264 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: I saw that you tweeted this out while I was away. 265 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: As you might imagine, it conjured up a lot of 266 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: emotion in the Twitter sphere, I'm sure all around college football. 267 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: Can you give us the gist of this article? 268 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: The gist is that some people who had previously been 269 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 2: associated with the playoff committee, like Barry Alvarez, for instance, 270 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: have spoken to each other at length about the possibility 271 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: of an eighteen playoff. This is nothing that is at 272 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: least publicly on the table with current committee members. But 273 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: there are some former people on this committee that have 274 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: come around as soon as it doesn't matter what they think, 275 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 2: right right, They've come. 276 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: Around the way it works, right right. 277 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: It's you know, it's that congressman who is you know, 278 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: super against pot then gets out of the business. This 279 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 2: is John Bayner. Is they actually be a real congressman? Yes, 280 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: that is correct. I think it was John Bayner, who 281 00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 2: like against Pott and then all of a sudden is like, oh, 282 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: I run a pot farm. 283 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 1: Now I'm buying stock. Yeah. 284 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 2: Anyway, this is getting a little bit far afield. This 285 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 2: is all to say, it would have been cool to 286 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 2: have this discussion happened while you were in power. This 287 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 2: is them surmising that they shouldn't have to wait another 288 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 2: six years for the contract to be up to renegotiate 289 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: how many teams and redo to the competitive nature of 290 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: the playoff going from four to eight or four to 291 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 2: six eight whatever, and UCF and how they were treated 292 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: in the way that they believe the SEC. This is 293 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: them saying it not tire myself that the SEC has 294 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: given preferential treatment and given the benefit of the doubt 295 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 2: a little bit too often, with how LSU didn't move 296 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: down at all, and how Washington State and you know, 297 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 2: Penn State and all these teams really didn't have the 298 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: ability to move up, and that perhaps the SEC has 299 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: too strong a stranglehold because of what they perceive to 300 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 2: be an inflated reputation. Okay, now, Georgia being in the 301 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: consideration at number five ahead of Ohio State who won 302 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 2: with only one loss, their conference and last year with 303 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: two SEC teams getting in. And I can understand the 304 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 2: frustration from people affiliated with conferences that haven't made it in. 305 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 2: I do, and it's it's to me the eternal question 306 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: of is this a TV show? Is this trying to 307 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 2: be an actual competitive thing? Are we trying to get 308 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: all the conferences represented because they all in some form 309 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 2: pay into this system? What? What are we? What are 310 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 2: we trying to do? Here? The Taylor twelve. 311 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: I need to play this again. 312 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 2: We haven't got Oh my god, sorry. 313 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: This was inevitable, This this conversation. Maybe oh yeah, maybe 314 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: it's that breaking news, but it's right here in the 315 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 1: art goal. The quote from Barry Alvarez, who was on 316 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: the College Football Playoffs selection committee for three seasons, I 317 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: guess quote. 318 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 2: To be your interim coach at any time he's able. 319 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 1: Barry Helperez is on the table. Quote. Everyone has the 320 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: same feeling. Expansion is inevitable, no matter how many times 321 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: we have this conversation. 322 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 3: About should it be six or should it before? Should 323 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 3: it be eight, should it be thirty two? No matter 324 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 3: how many times we have this discussion. Here here is 325 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 3: the cruel reality we have for now. If you double it. 326 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 3: There is more money to be made. There's more money 327 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 3: to be made. The contracts, the TV contracts will grow. 328 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 3: Interest in the playoff system will grow because more teams 329 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: will be included. For sure, there might be a bit 330 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 3: of sacrificing the sanctity, if you. 331 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: Will, of the regular season. But the truth of the 332 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: matter is they're leaving money on the table and this 333 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: is inevitable. It's inevitable it's going to happen. Not a 334 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: question of if, merely a question of when for my money, yeah, 335 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: and how agreed for my money. It's all about let's 336 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: just get this thing done. What is inevitable should just 337 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: be implemented. Now. They implemented this playoff in a matter 338 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 1: of weeks, it felt when they finally decided to move 339 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: to it. Let's just rip off the band aid, get 340 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 1: this thing planned out, put the wheels in motion here 341 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: and start it up like after next season. Why the 342 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: hell not? 343 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 2: So you're you're approaching it in a very third party 344 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 2: ish kind of way, just saying I think it will happen. 345 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: It makes sense. This is a sport that is constantly, 346 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: like the universe, in perpetual expansion. 347 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: Right, I'm a realist when it comes to this topic, 348 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 1: it is going to happen. Whether you like it, whether 349 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: I like it, whether we hate it, it is going 350 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 1: to happen. So the sooner it happens, the sooner we 351 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: can start working out the kinks. 352 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: My question isn't will it. My question is what do 353 00:18:58,520 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: you want? 354 00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,239 Speaker 1: Ty? 355 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: I know it doesn't matter or what you want, but 356 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 2: what is your ideal you have? I mean, you're a 357 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: prominent voice in the digital college universe. 358 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: When you put it like that. 359 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: What do you want? I what do you is? For 360 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 2: competitive reasons, for entertainment reasons, and wherever that blends together. 361 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: What do you want? 362 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: I've always been a proponent of the Dan Wetzel plan, 363 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,679 Speaker 1: which is Game sixteen, some automatic bids in there, some 364 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 1: games that are played at home fields of teams that qualify. 365 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: I'm missing the details. I apologize to Dan, who's been 366 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: on this program a bunch of times. Yeah, but I've 367 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: always his plan to me, always felt like among all 368 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: the other plans that were floated out there, at least 369 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: his was the most well thought out, and it seemed 370 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: to be the most inclusive to capture not only wild 371 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: card teams but also conference champions and some of some 372 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: of the group of five schools that have frankly been 373 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: left out of the current model. That to me feels 374 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: like the best thought out plan available, and I've always 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 1: been a proponent of that. That being said, I think 376 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,239 Speaker 1: four has worked out pretty well so far, especially you're 377 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: like this, it's worked out quite well. I think eight 378 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: is the next logical jump. We might not be ready 379 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: for sixteen at this point. It might require too much, 380 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: too much of a logistical shift from where we're at 381 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: to get there. I think eventually we will get there, 382 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 1: But for now, the move to eight, I'm totally on 383 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: board with it. Let's do it. 384 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: I think the question that's not being asked enough is 385 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 2: do we want the playoff to be a playoff or 386 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 2: do we want it to be solely an invitational to 387 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: find a national champion? And that might sound like those 388 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: are very similar ideas, But is it a matter of 389 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 2: do we want this to become a month long thing, 390 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: a three week long thing, a two week long thing, 391 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 2: or do we want it to be just an extended 392 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 2: national championship just that like final four situation. You know, 393 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament is a thing. The final four in 394 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: the national championship game is a different thing. It's you know, 395 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: it's a smaller part of that universe. And as soon 396 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: as you go beyond four, it's not a national championship thing. 397 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 2: It's just a thing thing. And I'm okay with that. 398 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 2: That's fine by me. I just want it to be 399 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: organized in such a way where if we are comparing teams, 400 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: that we have similar data points. And that's what I 401 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: tweeted out earlier today. I was like, going to eight 402 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: is fine. Like I am never going to complain about 403 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 2: more football. I'm not making any money, you know, relative 404 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 2: to what these conferences are making from TV companies. I'm 405 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 2: not making any more or less money based on what 406 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: they do. We'll do another show about it, and that's 407 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 2: pretty much how it'll affect my life other than watching 408 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 2: more football. But we would probably if we want to 409 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 2: get it right, and as the playoff becomes a Capital 410 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 2: P playoff instead of a national championship grouping, then we 411 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 2: have to discuss how do we make sure this national 412 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 2: sport is if it's every conference, every Power five conference 413 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 2: setting its champion to this playoff, plus whatever two at 414 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: large and a group of five, which is the popular 415 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: way to get to eight right now? It is How 416 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 2: are we scheduling things? Is it eight game conference season? 417 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,199 Speaker 2: Is it nine game conference season? Are we doing pods? 418 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 2: Like Bill Connolly has pretty intelligently laid out, what are 419 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: we doing to get to the final point? Are we 420 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: getting rid of divisions and conferences and just playing the 421 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 2: best two teams so we can you know, not leave 422 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: out you know, Alabama from last season, who was clearly 423 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 2: one of the best two teams even with the Auburn 424 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: loss in the SEC. How are we getting two conference champions? 425 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: That's too conference champions? And so what are non conference 426 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: schedules like? If we don't want it to be this 427 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: national I'm okay with actually going back to the old 428 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 2: PREBCS system. I'm just go back to chaos, embrace the chaos. 429 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: You know, have your pack twelve and big ten teams 430 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 2: in the rows. 431 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: See, I'm not I'm not fine with that. I'm not 432 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: fine with that because what if. 433 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: A national championship isn't the point of college football? 434 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: Tie? Well, then what is the point of college football? 435 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: Why are you just win your games? Win your games? 436 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: What's the if you wint up playing? If you're not 437 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,959 Speaker 1: going to win anything, you win the games. But if 438 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: you can't win a title or something at the end 439 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: of it, why play at all. They're all just exhibition 440 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: games in that sense. 441 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,160 Speaker 2: They're not exhibition games. We embrace the fact that it's 442 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,640 Speaker 2: a weird sports that doesn't make sense. It doesn't make 443 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 2: sense that UCF can win twenty five straight games and 444 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: not play for anything with appreciable stakes like other teams, 445 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 2: even though that they can schedule, you know, all of 446 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,639 Speaker 2: the Power five teams they want for September, doesn't matter. 447 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: I do. I admire the willingness to just sort of 448 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: go hard in the other direction, right, Yeah, I'm doing that. 449 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: The sport is kind of oddly shaped. There's not a 450 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: whole lot of symmetry, at least in terms of scheduling, 451 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: at a minimum in terms of scheduling. And so maybe 452 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: we'll never get to this point, but where we can 453 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: crown a true quote unquote true national champion. That feels 454 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: fair to everybody. 455 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 2: But if the regular season is the most meaningful thing, 456 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: why don't we put everything squarely. 457 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 1: There right in? Let us know, you think we're at 458 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: Soliverble and Gmail. You're telling me to write in that 459 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: you you could deal with me, and you know the 460 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 1: email dress. You know my email address. I am serious, Yeah, 461 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: my serious email address. 462 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: I am good with an eight teamer with normalized I'm 463 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 2: good with a six teamer with normalized infrastructure, which means 464 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: a full on governing body, because this is not the playoff, 465 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 2: is not an NCAA event. That is nc DOUBLEA regulates 466 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 2: eligibility and some rules, but it's not overseeing the competitive 467 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: nature of the postseason. 468 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: I want to hear what people have to say. I 469 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: know this is kind of a charge topic. I'm not 470 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: going to fight you to the death on your opinion 471 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: on this matter. I've always been in favor of settling 472 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: it on the field. If you're going to be of 473 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: the mindset that we should crown a national champion, I 474 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: think you should decide it on the field. I don't 475 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: think you should leave it up to voters or metrics 476 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: or what people think. I think we should use some 477 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: guidance from those sources to try and determine who should 478 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: be playing for it. I think that's fair, But I 479 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: think you should decide it on the field. Who is 480 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: your champion. Let's side field, Yeah. 481 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: Let's do it. Just end the season with like thirty 482 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 2: five bowl games, and that's that. 483 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: All right, Ridan, let us know An you think saliverbl 484 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: at Gmail, dot com, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, all the usual 485 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: hotspots ran it.

We're 566 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 2: a superficial species tie. 567 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: Let's correct. Let's steer into it. That is correct. So 568 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: we do have some NFL declarations that I want to 569 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: get to. But I feel like we've waited too long 570 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: to talk about bulls. I'm kind of getting jumpy over here. 571 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 2: You get a Lancy, let's a little answer. 572 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: Do I play the picks of the week's sound because 573 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,480 Speaker 1: it's not technically a week It's like, we don't have 574 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: a bowl sound per. 575 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 2: Se unless you want to record one live right now? 576 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: That might be our only option. What do you have, ty, 577 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 2: Come on, I'm. 578 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: Just gonna play it. I'm just gonna play. We need 579 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 1: to cradle and cultivate any new sound in this program 580 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:56,240 Speaker 1: we do. 581 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 2: It's you know, we've been playing these for a while 582 00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 2: and we're not getting rid of them. But we can 583 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: add Maybe we can. 584 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: Next time next week when we do our next bull show. 585 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 1: I need to think that's through. I can't do this haphazardly. 586 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 2: Let's do what some really smart people did with Roger 587 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: Ebert's voice when he lost his ability to speak. Yeah, 588 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 2: and we're able to make him sound like himself with 589 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: the use of a machine. Let's do that with Taylor 590 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 2: Twellman his voice to create new sounds. I can do that, 591 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 2: by the way, yes, you know I can do that. 592 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it past. 593 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: You, all right. So we've got a bowl pool. It's 594 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: a confidence pool. It works a little differently than the 595 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: stuff we've been doing against the spread all year. The 596 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 1: way this works is you go out to soliverble dot 597 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 1: com slash Conpool again not the sequel to con Air, regrettably, 598 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: and you pick the winners. You tell us who you 599 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: think is going to win these games, and then as 600 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 1: an additional layer on top of that, you tell us 601 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 1: how confident you are on a scale of one, which 602 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,280 Speaker 1: is your least confident, to forty one, which you're most confident. 603 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: If you correctly identify the winner, you get the number 604 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: of points that you assigned to that game. So, for example, 605 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: if you think, like most of the world that I 606 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: don't know Tulane or Louisiana is gonna beat tou Lane. 607 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: Let's say if you're very confident in that you pick Louisiana, 608 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: Louisiana wins, you get forty points. You get forty points, 609 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: so the deep end of the conpool, that's right. If 610 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 1: you lose, you don't get any points. If you only 611 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 1: put one, you only get one point. But it's very easy. 612 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: We've got some of the smartest listeners in all the 613 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: podcast the sphere listening to this show. Clearly people can 614 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 1: figure this out. 615 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: So to honor the conpool, I am going to select 616 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 2: Bowl winners based on how buoyant I believe they're head coach. 617 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: To be perfect PERF who the more buoyant head coaches 618 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 2: in each matchup? 619 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that up. Yeah, because I 620 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 1: have a couple rules that I like to follow in 621 00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: confidence pools. 622 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, cop of years I have mine. 623 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: Can I identify my three rules before we get use 624 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: this flora is yours? So the first rule, it's one 625 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 1: that I've discussed here at nauseum over the last couple 626 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: of seasons, and I call it the East Coast Elliott rule. 627 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: I didn't come up with it. I'm not smart enough 628 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,440 Speaker 1: to come up with it. East Coast Elliott is a 629 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: bit of a mad scientist. He's the one that first 630 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: introduced this to me. I think it's brilliant. His point 631 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: is that you should load up on your confidence points 632 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: early because there are a lot of these early games 633 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: that people don't know about. But the early games tend 634 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: to be bigger mismatches just because of the way things 635 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:36,960 Speaker 1: shake out, they tend to be bigger mismatches. Maybe they 636 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: have the same record, but if you actually dig in, 637 00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,120 Speaker 1: which we're going to start doing here through the first 638 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: seven games, oftentimes the end up being bigger mismatches. And 639 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't put their early confidence points 640 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,239 Speaker 1: on those games because they don't know the teams. So 641 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: it's a good opportunity for you if you can spot 642 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 1: a mismatch to load up on points early and get 643 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: some points on the board. So that's the first thing. 644 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 1: Since I started doing that, I have done much much 645 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 1: better in my own confidence pools. Nice, all right, So 646 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: that's one. That's the first thing you should do. The 647 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,959 Speaker 1: second thing is just look at the at the setting 648 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: for a bowl game. This has become, i think a 649 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: little bit more prominent as of late because of guys 650 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: sitting out for the NFL. But certainly we've just gotten 651 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: done talking about coaching moves and all sorts of atmospherics 652 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:30,080 Speaker 1: that can play into what kind of team is going 653 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: to the bowl. Right, So if a team lost its coach, 654 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: consider picking the opponent. Not every case, but least at 655 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: least consider it. If you've got a monster injury. You 656 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: got to consider that. And then we've got this thing 657 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: again with guys skipping their bowl games. I look at 658 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: the game like between West Virginia and Syracuse, Will Greer 659 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: quarterback not playing. To me, that's pretty significant. I'm gonna 660 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: go Syracuse in that game. I'm gonna go Syracuse in 661 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: that game almost solely because of Willgrew not playing. Consider it. 662 00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: And then the third rule, I'd say, just in general, 663 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,200 Speaker 1: pick the team that you think wants it more. Unless 664 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: it's a total mismatch. 665 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:08,800 Speaker 2: WHOA. 666 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: Unless it's a total mismatch, pick the team that you 667 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: think wants it more. I'm looking at that Auburn Perdue 668 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 1: game in the Music City Bowl, all right, I have 669 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 1: to imagine that Auburn couldn't give a flying f about 670 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,919 Speaker 1: that football game. Why would they? It's Purdue. Meanwhile, Perdue, 671 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: I think they're looking at it from a much different perspective. 672 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: They're holding on to their coach who's done a great 673 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: job in two seasons. I have to imagine the game 674 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:35,920 Speaker 1: means a hell of a lot more to them than 675 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: it does Auburn. The question you have to ask yourself, 676 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: is it too big of a mismatch? We'll talk about 677 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: that in a few weeks. But these are the questions 678 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: that I'm asking again on this show. We're gonna be 679 00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 1: the first batch of games, which runs from Saturday the fifteenth. 680 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 1: This Saturday the fifteenth through Thursday the twentieth, we'll preview 681 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 1: all of the FBS games, but it is worth noting 682 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: that they're one other, one other game on your confidence pool, 683 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,439 Speaker 1: and that's the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl between North 684 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: Carolina A and T, the Aggies and the Alkhorn State Braves. 685 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,440 Speaker 1: They play it in Atlanta, North Carolina A and T 686 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,320 Speaker 1: favored by seven and a half. I'm not gonna pretend 687 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: to know Hyde nor hair about this game or any 688 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: of these teams. Right, I'm gonna get saucy. I'm gonna 689 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: go against the Braves in Atlanta, and I'm gonna say 690 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,959 Speaker 1: North Carolina A and T a good team. They're gonna 691 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: win outright, And I'm putting all forty one points in 692 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: that first game. 693 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 2: And once again, I only have one element that will 694 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: help me pick these games, and that is buoyancy, the 695 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight 696 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 2: of an immersed object. And I am going to pick 697 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 2: these games based on which coach seems more likely to 698 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: float his buoyance. 699 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 1: What are our options here? 700 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's start here with the You want to 701 00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 2: talk the AutoNation Cure Bowl, Willy Fritz personally, Well, no, no, no, hope. 702 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 2: First off, who are you picking? In the Celebration Bowl. 703 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,439 Speaker 2: It was North Carolina A and T against Alcorn State. 704 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,440 Speaker 2: Let's go North Carolina A and T. 705 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 1: Okay, we agree. 706 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know that. I'm not going to pretend 707 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 2: to the boyancies. I've done a lot of buoyancy research, 708 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: but not about those two coaches. 709 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 1: All right, now, were as you were? 710 00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 2: Uh, let's start here with the AutoNation Cure Bowl in Orlando. 711 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 2: Tulane a decent enough season. They go six and six, 712 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,319 Speaker 2: but they're in a bowl game, and they've got a 713 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:33,400 Speaker 2: wonderful mascot in the Angry Wave, and they're taking on 714 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 2: the rage in Cajuns of Louisiana aka Louisiana Lafayette. Willie Fritz, 715 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 2: Billy Napier seven and six and Tulane I believe is 716 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,640 Speaker 2: favored by a field goal. 717 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: Ish that is correct. 718 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I my just gut is Tulane is better because 719 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 2: Louisiana has the worst defense. And that's when I'm being serious. 720 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 2: What I look at in a game like this, and 721 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,640 Speaker 2: Tulane can run the ball. I also believe Willie Fritz 722 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 2: to be slightly more buoyant than Billy Napier. 723 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 1: Okay, see, I look at this game a little differently. 724 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: Tulane fired their oc after their offense was terrible. It 725 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: was not good ninety third nationally in scoring. Also, look 726 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: at four of Louisiana's six losses. They were to ten 727 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,160 Speaker 1: and two app State twice. They lost once in the 728 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,440 Speaker 1: regular season again in the title game. For their confidence. 729 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 1: They lost to Mississippi State and Alabama. And they've got 730 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,919 Speaker 1: a really good running game in the backfield. Good losses, Yeah, 731 00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: good losses. The other team had some coaching turnover. I 732 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,320 Speaker 1: think the wrong team is favored here. I'm going Louisiana 733 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,879 Speaker 1: with a fair amount of confidence. I'll go let's say 734 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 1: thirty eight. Wow, load up, Burt, really going early in 735 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 1: the contact. That's what you do, man, all right with Okay, 736 00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 1: there is a layer. Yes, we need to talk about this. 737 00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: Please give me the layer tie. Because you put together 738 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: swag Dan swag swag. Now I must admit I am 739 00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: hesitant to read some of these gifts aloud. So if 740 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 1: you're listening for the first time, like what is this 741 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 1: college football thing? The kids go to the bowl games 742 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: and without exception, they all get gifts. 743 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 2: Are you hesitant? 744 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: Because I there are words in here that I have 745 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 1: not practiced. Okay, and you know what happens to me. 746 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: I tend to overthink it glow and that's when globe 747 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 1: tomatoes turn into globe tomatoes, which do not exist. 748 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 2: Right. 749 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,080 Speaker 1: Here's what we've got here for the automation cure ball. 750 00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: A Hollowway Force jacket m HM, sunglasses with the carry case, 751 00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: an energizer power bank, a Duffel bag, pebble beach pebble 752 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,640 Speaker 1: Beach slides it says here, which I'm guessing must be 753 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: the new eye slide sandals, a dop kit, which I 754 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: believe is a bunch of toiletry bags. Toiletry bag, Yeah, useful, 755 00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 1: very useful, sport tech long sleeve contender T shirt, and 756 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: a cap. 757 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 2: I think this is a real winner of a swag list. 758 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 1: What is a Holloway Force jacket. 759 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 2: I looked it up. It's like a soft hoodie, like 760 00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 2: a thin soft hoodie that you'd maybe wear on like 761 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 2: a slightly chilli day or around the house of it's 762 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,719 Speaker 2: little chili out. I'm wearing something comparable right now, and 763 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 2: I think that's great and it looks great to me. 764 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,520 Speaker 2: Nobody on this list is paying for any sort of compliments. 765 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: The power bank is great. I use my portable phone 766 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,800 Speaker 2: battery when we were in Fargo. The dop kit is useful. 767 00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 2: This is I would say, the solid B plus a 768 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:36,960 Speaker 2: minus right here. 769 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: This is everything you need to go on like a 770 00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:40,040 Speaker 1: nice day trip. 771 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. The Cure Bowl, le's we disagree. 772 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:49,720 Speaker 1: Moving on the New Mexico Bowl. They played in Albuquerque Saturday. 773 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,839 Speaker 1: It's at two pm on ESPN North Texas. The Mean 774 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,279 Speaker 1: Green at nine and three, squaring off against Utah State 775 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: at ten and two. The point spread, for those that matter, 776 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,240 Speaker 1: is eight points in favor of the Utah State. Aggie's 777 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 1: excuse me. You may remember that Utah State. We talked 778 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,400 Speaker 1: a little bit about them down the stretcher because they 779 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,240 Speaker 1: lost their coach, Matt Wells, to Texas Tech. He's taken 780 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: a good chunk of that staff from Utah State with him. 781 00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 1: Of note, when you're picking games, Matt Wells will be 782 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 1: involved in practice and in the game planning for the 783 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: New Mexico Bowl, but he's not going to coach the 784 00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:28,280 Speaker 1: team on game day. On the flip side, we got 785 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 1: the mean green North Texas holding on to Seth Latrell 786 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,480 Speaker 1: after he was rumored for and eventually pulled his name 787 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 1: out of that case State coaching search. This would be 788 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: the first time that North Texas has won ten games 789 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,720 Speaker 1: since nineteen forty seven, and I'm not counting the nineteen 790 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,560 Speaker 1: seventy seven season where they want a game in there 791 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: because of a forfeit. So I think a lot on 792 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: the line for North Texas. I think Utah stayed in 793 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,839 Speaker 1: a bit of coaching turmoil. You know how I feel 794 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: about that rule number two. Though I feel like Utah 795 00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 1: State is better on both offense and defense, it's not 796 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,400 Speaker 1: what I would consider a full on mispatch. So I 797 00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 1: go mean green out right here to the tune of 798 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,399 Speaker 1: not like thirty eight points, but I'm gonna say twenty five. 799 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 2: So Utah State's head coach who led them to this 800 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 2: season will not be on the sidelines during the game. So, 801 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 2: by default, Seth Latrell, the more buoyant of the two 802 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 2: coaches in the Conpool. Also Utah State, while a really 803 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 2: good year going ten to two and playing for the 804 00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 2: Mountain West. Well near the end they were in it 805 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 2: for the Mountain West. They really inflated that record with 806 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,400 Speaker 2: some wins over some pretty bad teams. Whereas North Texas 807 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 2: I felt like was a little bit more competitive, even 808 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,879 Speaker 2: though they do lose to I believe they lost early 809 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 2: to you. Who do they lose to? UAB? 810 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go. 811 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: With North Texas here. I think North Texas is the 812 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 2: more stable program. Seth Latrell opted to stay in Denton. 813 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 2: So I have the mean green twenty eight twenty one 814 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 2: here with medium amount of confidence. 815 00:41:55,800 --> 00:42:03,440 Speaker 1: WI all right, swag swag A gifts sweet? Okay, gifts sweet. 816 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: So they put them in a room. I guess they 817 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: let them walk around pick gifts, or they just give 818 00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:11,280 Speaker 1: them a gift bag or something like that.

Nothing, that 838 00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:08,320 Speaker 2: is why. And me, I don't know what's in the 839 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 2: gift suite. I will you know. If there are a 840 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:14,440 Speaker 2: lot of enchiladas at the New Mexico Bowl, then you 841 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:15,120 Speaker 2: can sell. 842 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 1: Me as always if any of these bulls want to 843 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 1: send us free swag, we are interested. Yeah, or enchiladas 844 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:26,319 Speaker 1: also cenchiladas the mid Subishi Motors Las Vegas bull They 845 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: play it at sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas. It's 846 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:33,520 Speaker 1: on ABC Saturday three thirty Arizona State at seven and 847 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,240 Speaker 1: five versus Fresno State, your Fresno State Bulldogs at eleven 848 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,439 Speaker 1: and two. They're a four point favorite. Of note here, 849 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,680 Speaker 1: Nikila Harry going pro will not be playing in this 850 00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 1: game for ASU, So again coming back to my rules, 851 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: that's one strike against ASU. The other thing Dan when 852 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:56,640 Speaker 1: you look at the numbers for this game, Fresno's really legit. 853 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: Like we didn't talk enough about it this season because 854 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,960 Speaker 1: a lot of times they're playing late. They're a group 855 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: of five team and they don't maybe get as much 856 00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,759 Speaker 1: visibility as some of the Power five games that we 857 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 1: talk about. But this is a good football team. They're 858 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: good on offense, they're top ten on defense, and they're 859 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,200 Speaker 1: a group of five school going up against a Pac 860 00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: twelve school, which to me says that they're going to 861 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,360 Speaker 1: be fired up for the bowl game. Plus, I believe 862 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: it's Marcus mcmarion's final game as quarterback for Fresno SE. 863 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,800 Speaker 1: He got that feel good angle mixed in there as well. 864 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,040 Speaker 1: I am very confident in Fresno for all of those reasons, 865 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: and I'm going to go Fresno here minus the points 866 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,239 Speaker 1: early lock and forty confidence points. 867 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, this feels like a who wants to be there? 868 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,719 Speaker 2: Who does in Arizona State in it pretty late for 869 00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,560 Speaker 2: the PAC twelve South and don't make it happen. ASU 870 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 2: also losing a key recruiting weekend with signing day coming 871 00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 2: just a couple days after this game. The game's on Saturday, 872 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 2: the fifteenth, sign day I believe is what the eighteenth, 873 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 2: nineteenth somewhere in the nineteenth. Yeah, and so this also 874 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 2: plays into de facto Super Bowl time, that's right, Yeah, 875 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,600 Speaker 2: because Fresno State on a big stage network TV. I 876 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,120 Speaker 2: think it's on ABC, right, yep, ABC. So this is 877 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,680 Speaker 2: a huge showcase for Fresno to potentially take down a 878 00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,200 Speaker 2: Pac twelve team. So I think they match up well. 879 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 2: They stop the run super well with with you know, 880 00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:18,839 Speaker 2: Benjamin on the other side of Arizona State, it's gonna 881 00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 2: have to lean on that. So I'm I'm right there 882 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 2: with you with a pretty high level of confidence in 883 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:27,280 Speaker 2: Fresno State. I also feel like herm Edwards is very dense, 884 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,720 Speaker 2: so I think he's sinking like a stone. So buoyancy wise, okay, 885 00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 2: I am. I'm taking Fresno State in the deep end 886 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:34,400 Speaker 2: of the conpool. 887 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,760 Speaker 1: They get a gift suite, a collectible Las Vegas item 888 00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 1: to be determined, A dad hat, a beanie, and a 889 00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:43,279 Speaker 1: Fannie pack. 890 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 2: Doesn't wow me. But you can eat super well. 891 00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:49,200 Speaker 1: That gift suite's doing a lot of heavy lifting in this. 892 00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,480 Speaker 2: Doing a lot of lifting. When was the last time 893 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 2: you were in Vegas? It's been a long time. 894 00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:56,919 Speaker 1: For me, man. I was there a couple of years 895 00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: ago for a conference for the Mysterious Daye But that 896 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 1: was the last time. 897 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 2: Did you eat well? 898 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't think I did. Actually, I know you can't 899 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 1: eat well, but. 900 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, you definitely. 901 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 1: It was one of those these teams will Yeah, it 902 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,839 Speaker 1: was one of those conference deals where you know your 903 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,440 Speaker 1: schedule was kind of out of whack, and now I 904 00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,000 Speaker 1: wasn't able to eat as well as I would have. 905 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 2: Liked my food recommendation here because I'm not going to 906 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: recommend something in the Giant Hotel. I haven't been there, 907 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,080 Speaker 2: but people I trust swear by Lotus of Siam, a 908 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 2: tie place in like a strip mall that is apparently 909 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:33,960 Speaker 2: legendary in the Vegas area. So if you're an ASU 910 00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,240 Speaker 2: fan or a Fresno States fan, Lotus of Siam. 911 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 1: The raycom Media Camellia Bowl played at Montgomery, Alabama's Crampton 912 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: Bowl Saturday thirty ESPN. We've got Georgia Southern at nine 913 00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:53,280 Speaker 1: and three against Eastern Michigan at seven and five. Southern 914 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 1: is a one point favorite. Team is a weird one 915 00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: if you ask me, because statistically pretty even match, and 916 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: the point spread reflects that only one in favor of 917 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:07,879 Speaker 1: Georgia Southern. So Vegas is seeing it too. The thing 918 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 1: that I like is that Georgia Southern runs that option. 919 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, the shotgun flexbone thing. Yeah. 920 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough to simulate that. You can simulate it 921 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 1: with your practice squad. It's tough to simulate it well 922 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,799 Speaker 1: enough that you can get good at stopping it, even 923 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 1: if you've got some advanced notice knowing that it's coming. 924 00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:28,440 Speaker 2: Now. 925 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: Granted, I think the best unit on the field is 926 00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: that Eastern Michigan defense, but they're going to have their 927 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: work cut out for them here. I think the option 928 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 1: is too much for Eastern. I don't have a ton 929 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,480 Speaker 1: of confidence in this game, but I'm still gonna go 930 00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:45,600 Speaker 1: a little higher than most and say twenty six points 931 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:46,560 Speaker 1: in favor of Southern. 932 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's right. I'm worried about Eastern Michigan's defense, 933 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,400 Speaker 2: and I'm worried that you look at the teams that 934 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,160 Speaker 2: they were able to beat to get to this point, 935 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of top sixty five seventy 936 00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:02,359 Speaker 2: seventy five the way of SMP plus teams here. So 937 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 2: Eastern Michigan appol eligible and that's a huge win. I'm 938 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 2: going Georgia Southern here, and it just so happened that 939 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,640 Speaker 2: I think Lunsford is a little bit more buoyant than 940 00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 2: Chris Creighton, who looks pretty jacked. Yeah yeah, Muscle is 941 00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,400 Speaker 2: denser than fat. Yeah yeah. So I'm gonna go with 942 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 2: a I'm go with the Eagles here. 943 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,680 Speaker 1: They get a gift suite, a fossil watch, a Samsonite 944 00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:28,319 Speaker 1: rolling Duffel bag, a beanie nice a beanie, and a 945 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,880 Speaker 1: big game football, which is a specific kind of football. 946 00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,320 Speaker 1: I'm guessing you're somebody. 947 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:35,440 Speaker 2: I don't think i'm speaking out of turn here, but 948 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 2: you are somebody when given free bags or free luggage, 949 00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 2: you are happy to take advantage in perpetuity. I think 950 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 2: you still use your National Championship backpack. I'm looking at 951 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 2: it right now here in the studio. I took in 952 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 2: a great job for US toting equipment here and there to. 953 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: Farga North Dakota the National Championship North Texas twenty fifteen 954 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,239 Speaker 1: backpack that they gave us an Augio backpack. Maybe we'll 955 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: see some Aji here a little bit later on in 956 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:02,520 Speaker 1: bowl season. 957 00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 2: This feels like a premium Duffel tie. 958 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,200 Speaker 1: It does got rolling wheels on it. That's not bad. 959 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,680 Speaker 2: It looks I don't know what. There are various sizes. 960 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,520 Speaker 2: Do you wear a watch? What a watch appeal to you? 961 00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: Here? The fossil watches tend to be a little too 962 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,759 Speaker 1: big for me, a little too much wash, yeah, yeah, 963 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,239 Speaker 1: a little too much watch face for me. But I 964 00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,160 Speaker 1: think this is solid here, I genuinely do, and I 965 00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,160 Speaker 1: believe no I'm wrong. I was gonna mention a restaurant, 966 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,959 Speaker 1: but that was Birmingham, not Montgomery. We'll move on, all right. 967 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,279 Speaker 1: The RNL Carrier's New Orleans Bowl played at Mercedes Benz 968 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,640 Speaker 1: Stadium in New Orleans Saturday, nine pm ESPN, Middle Tennessee 969 00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: against app State. App State is a seven point favorite. 970 00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,520 Speaker 1: The teams here, it just says gift, sweet and fossil watch. 971 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:47,680 Speaker 2: Dan, mm hmm. 972 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: I would like a little bit more in the way 973 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: of details before I score this one again. Gift suite 974 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 1: doing a lot of heavy lifting. 975 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 2: I'll bet there's good stuff. It's in New Orleans. Maybe 976 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 2: we get some some beaded paraphernalia. 977 00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: Be careful, be careful with the beads on Bourbon Street. 978 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,600 Speaker 2: Do you know Ty that there is a basically a 979 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,520 Speaker 2: month long holiday in New Orleans in December where you 980 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 2: can go to basically any restaurant and there's like a 981 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:19,480 Speaker 2: forty seven course to celebrate the holidays, and it looks fantastic. 982 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,319 Speaker 2: And for that reason, I think I'm actually going app 983 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 2: State here. Okay, I think Tennessee's a little bit too close, 984 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 2: a little bit too familiar with New Orleans in December 985 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,000 Speaker 2: where it's new to app State. I know we have 986 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,080 Speaker 2: a coaching situation with Scott Saderfield leaving for Louisville, so 987 00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be paid. I'm not gonna be picking 988 00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 2: based on that. But yeah, I don't have a picture 989 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 2: of Brent stock still in front of me. I'm gonna 990 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:45,399 Speaker 2: go app State here. I'm going to go against East 991 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 2: Coast Elliott with his you know, not having a coach whatever. 992 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,479 Speaker 2: Middle Tennessee is another one of those teams that picked 993 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,800 Speaker 2: up a lot of wins against some lowly teams or 994 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:56,760 Speaker 2: as app State even without and I know Scott Saderfield 995 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,560 Speaker 2: is now bringing both his offensive and defensive coordinators from 996 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 2: from to Louisville. I am going to go app State here. 997 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 2: I just think their quality is too high and I'm 998 00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:06,600 Speaker 2: going to do it with a good amount of confidence. 999 00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: So the mismatchometer is in the red. Yeah, you're burying 1000 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,279 Speaker 1: the hunter here. Yeah. That and look, I think that 1001 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: is the exception to rule too. Yeah, if you find 1002 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:23,279 Speaker 1: that it's a mismatch despite turnover of any kind, you 1003 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: go with the better team. And I think I agree 1004 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,200 Speaker 1: with you here Again, Saderfield's got Sadurfield headed to Louisville. 1005 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 1: It was unclear initially if he was going to stick 1006 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 1: around and maybe coach app State in the bowl game, 1007 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,239 Speaker 1: but that's not going to happen here. Mark Ivy is 1008 00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 1: going to take over as the interim coach. I agree 1009 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: with you. App State's the better team. They're favored by 1010 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown, They're Sophomore quarterback Zach Thomas has been ridiculous 1011 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,360 Speaker 1: all season. Law He was named the Sun Belts Offensive 1012 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,279 Speaker 1: Player of the year. I think app State is the 1013 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,279 Speaker 1: better team. I Am not going to put a high 1014 00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: level of confidence on this one, like not forty points, 1015 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 1: but I feel like app State is definitely gonna win 1016 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,840 Speaker 1: this football game. So I'm gonna go thirty one points 1017 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: on the Mountaineers. 1018 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,480 Speaker 2: Quick correction, it is Rick Stockstell. Brent is his son 1019 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 2: who is the quarterback. I'm going to stand by my 1020 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:11,120 Speaker 2: app State pick. 1021 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:17,879 Speaker 1: The Seruh Bundy Boca Ratone Bowl. They play this one 1022 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 1: in Boca at Howard Schnellenberger Field at FAU Stadium. It's 1023 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:31,720 Speaker 1: on Tuesday on ESPN seven pm. We've got UAB Howab 1024 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: at ten and three versus the Northern Illinois Huskies at 1025 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 1: eight and five. Howab is a two and a half 1026 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,520 Speaker 1: point favorite. The teams in this one get a gift suite, 1027 00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,799 Speaker 1: a draw string backpack, a beach towel in a. 1028 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:51,000 Speaker 2: Football well, you get to go to Boca. It's pretty 1029 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:52,400 Speaker 2: nice down there, especially. 1030 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:58,440 Speaker 1: Yes, draw string backpacks, in my experience, are usually pretty 1031 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,000 Speaker 1: poorly made. Like that's a cheap gift. 1032 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't do a lot for me. 1033 00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,200 Speaker 1: You get that if you go to like a Microsoft conference. Okay, 1034 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,600 Speaker 1: a draw string backpack you can do better. Cherub Bundy. 1035 00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,400 Speaker 2: What do you know what cherub Bundy is? 1036 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:11,520 Speaker 1: No, what is cherubundy. 1037 00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:15,120 Speaker 2: Cherub Bundy is a tart cherry juice. Do you know 1038 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 2: what tart cherry juice is good for gout? I mean probably? Yeah, 1039 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:24,399 Speaker 2: I tell you it's really good, and that makes sense 1040 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 2: that it would be. But I know it's also really 1041 00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 2: good for muscle recovery, muscle relaxation, supposed to help you 1042 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 2: with your sleep a little bit. It's supposed to be 1043 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:35,960 Speaker 2: very densely populated with good things for your body. Cher 1044 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,960 Speaker 2: it my medical Yeah, I've never had cherub Bundy. I 1045 00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,280 Speaker 2: can't speak to that specific brand. I've just had it before, 1046 00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,879 Speaker 2: the juice itself. So I'm going to put a good 1047 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:51,520 Speaker 2: amount of confidence in this conpool in U in NIU 1048 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,359 Speaker 2: really Okay? Why I'm going with Northern Illinois. You look 1049 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,160 Speaker 2: at the two schedules and you look at what they 1050 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,560 Speaker 2: were and not able to do. And I had one 1051 00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 2: of the secretly more impossible non conference schedules in America 1052 00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:07,360 Speaker 2: with Utah Florida State, and I want to say Iowa 1053 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,720 Speaker 2: representing three of their five losses. They won the MAC. 1054 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:13,440 Speaker 2: They had big wins over a couple of interesting teams, 1055 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,280 Speaker 2: good teams like Buffalo in the championship game. Very strange 1056 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 2: to say so. In terms of that, I like Niu. 1057 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,880 Speaker 2: I think UAB is just talent wise not necessarily on 1058 00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:29,399 Speaker 2: NIU's level. With that defense that should mostly shut down 1059 00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 2: the Blazers. Okay, that's how I feel. Buoyancy wise, I 1060 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go NIU as well. This is going 1061 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:38,759 Speaker 2: to be a super low scoring Bill Clark looks tense, 1062 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:43,200 Speaker 2: super low scoring game because both defenses are pretty good. Yeah. 1063 00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 1: The problem for me is that NIU's offense is genuinely bad, 1064 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,160 Speaker 1: and I think they're more trouble scoring. I'm going on 1065 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,520 Speaker 1: the Hoab train here, Dan, I am. I'm going to 1066 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:55,279 Speaker 1: do it. Not a ton of confidence, so only ten 1067 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,120 Speaker 1: confidence points. 1068 00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,879 Speaker 2: I think Rod Kerry floats, Yeah, he sounds like he does. 1069 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,320 Speaker 2: I think Helot's yeah. 1070 00:55:04,600 --> 00:55:09,440 Speaker 1: Ten points. The d x L Frisco Bowl in Frisco, 1071 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,680 Speaker 1: Texas at Toyota Stadium, I believe where they play the 1072 00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:17,200 Speaker 1: FCS National Championship correct Wednesday, eight pm, so probably around 1073 00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:19,839 Speaker 1: the time that we're going to be editing our show 1074 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,080 Speaker 1: a week from today. It's San Diego State at seven 1075 00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,520 Speaker 1: and five it is the Ohio Bobcats at eight and 1076 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,280 Speaker 1: four Ohio actually favored by three. They get a gift suite, 1077 00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: a beanie cap, a coin, a pin, a big game football, 1078 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:38,839 Speaker 1: and a Justin Cowboy hat. 1079 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,439 Speaker 2: Dan, I've looked it up. You get Justin Cowboy hats 1080 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,319 Speaker 2: on Amazon. Justin, I believe is a name brand. Yes, yeah, 1081 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:49,600 Speaker 2: under what's Jared? He went to Jared, Oh, he's wearing 1082 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 2: just hat. 1083 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: That's right. Under what circumstances? Would you wear a cowboy hat? 1084 00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,880 Speaker 2: It won't wouldn't take much. Cowboy hats are great. 1085 00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,640 Speaker 1: Would you? What would it take for you to wear 1086 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: a hat out in Brooklyn? Just casually? 1087 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 2: Am I going somewhere? Am I going grocery shopping? Am 1088 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,520 Speaker 2: I going to brunch? What's my mo here? 1089 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,480 Speaker 1: I need to know. I need to know the scenario 1090 00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 1: in which you would look around at baseball caps and 1091 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 1: beanies and whatever other headwear you have in your closet 1092 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 1: and decide that you're going to wear instead the Justin 1093 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: Cowboy hat out on the mean streets of Brooklyn. 1094 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 2: I think it's a mood thing. I don't think it's 1095 00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 2: a situation thing. Actually, the more I think about it, 1096 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,320 Speaker 2: sometimes you're just in a cowboy hat mood. Yeah, I 1097 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,120 Speaker 2: don't know if it's that happened off. If you're going leather, 1098 00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:37,040 Speaker 2: often to you, it happens more than you'd think. It 1099 00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,799 Speaker 2: happens more than you'd think. And the justin hats look 1100 00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 2: good enough. You have your beanie, you have your coin, 1101 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,880 Speaker 2: you have a commemorative pin. I hope the gift suite 1102 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 2: is doing well in Frisco. By the way, do you 1103 00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:47,360 Speaker 2: know what DXL is? 1104 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: DXL isn't that the new version of big and Tall 1105 00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:52,359 Speaker 1: casual meal? 1106 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:57,480 Speaker 2: It is? I think so D stands for a dude 1107 00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:03,279 Speaker 2: XL destination x L Okay. I clicked on this website 1108 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,440 Speaker 2: and we've already we already have an apparel sponsor for 1109 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,160 Speaker 2: this show. So all I'm going to say is, if 1110 00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 2: you're a larger dude, seems pretty good. Seems pretty good. 1111 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 1: DXL Frisco Bowl, Get the cowboy hat, you get your 1112 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: your beanie, cap, your your coin, your pin.

I'm looking up 1121 00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:55,760 Speaker 2: DXL locations. Unfortunately for US, ty we are not Excel people. No. Oh, 1122 00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 2: they're all over Texas, Tye. The shops at Parclay in 1123 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 2: the Dallas area. Oh yeah, they're in Fort Worth. Oh yeah. 1124 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,520 Speaker 2: Get yourself to a DXL if you're a larger human 1125 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,720 Speaker 2: and you are playing in the DXL, which BAWL is US. 1126 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:12,960 Speaker 1: The Frisco Bowl. Yeah, all right. 1127 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,000 Speaker 2: So San Diego State, Ohio, San. 1128 00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,479 Speaker 1: Diego State, Ohio, Rocky Long, you know him. We've talked 1129 00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: about him for SDSU. He's taken the Aztecs to a 1130 00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,680 Speaker 1: bowl game in all eight seasons that he's been there. 1131 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,919 Speaker 1: The defense is there this year, but the offense really 1132 00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 1: is that. 1133 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 2: They left the offense in twenty sixteen. 1134 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 1: The offense is taking a gap year. Yeah, and I 1135 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: think this presents it opening for an Ohio State now 1136 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 1: and I think this presents an opening for an Ohio team. 1137 00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,160 Speaker 1: It's been dynamic offensively. 1138 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 2: It's been battles, especially the back half of this year. Yeah. 1139 00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, the last what five of their six games to 1140 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: close the season, they scored forty nine points at a 1141 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: minimum forty nine points. 1142 00:58:57,880 --> 00:58:58,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, put it on. 1143 00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: You could trast that with San Diego State, which lost 1144 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,440 Speaker 1: four of their last five here. So you've got a 1145 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: real good clash of strength and weakness the Ohio offense, 1146 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 1: the ASTech defense, and then almost a battle of weaknesses 1147 00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: between the San Diego State offense and the Ohio defense, 1148 00:59:18,760 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: which has also been pretty bad. I'm going to go 1149 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,000 Speaker 1: Ohio here, Dan, what the hell? 1150 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? I like the quarterback situation a lot more with 1151 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 2: the Bobcats when Nathan Rourke has been able to do. 1152 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 2: I am going Ohio here. I'm putting a good amount 1153 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,840 Speaker 2: of confidence in a San Diego State. Even with the 1154 00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: road win at Boise State, which was crazy impressive, it's 1155 00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,360 Speaker 2: just been kind of a nightmare of the back half 1156 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,480 Speaker 2: of the year, just losing close, losing big, whatever. It 1157 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,560 Speaker 2: hasn't been great for the Aztecs. It's been a guys, 1158 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 2: you're right, a gap year, and Frank Solich is a survivor, 1159 00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 2: and so I don't think he's going down buoyancy whatever 1160 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 2: is opposing him. Rocky long, little older. I'm going with 1161 00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 2: Frank Solich in the conpool. So a healthy amount of 1162 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:57,160 Speaker 2: confidence here in the Bobcat. 1163 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 1: Thirty eight points for me. 1164 00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: Whoa, oh you manly a strategy? All right, this is 1165 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 2: your all fantasy Baseball closer strategy. 1166 01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,360 Speaker 1: Punt on the winds, load up on stage. Why not? Yeah, 1167 01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 1: finally we're gonna do this one, even though technically it 1168 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 1: will come after one of our upcoming shows. But just 1169 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: to give everyone a little bit more runway to make 1170 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 1: these picks, we're not going to preview every game tonight. 1171 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:27,320 Speaker 1: It is the Bad Boy Mower's gas Parilla Bowl. Yes, 1172 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you again, is it Gasparilla or Gasparilla? 1173 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,240 Speaker 2: I really, you know, I would hope it would be Gasparia, 1174 01:00:37,400 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 2: but I think it is Gasparilla. 1175 01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 1: Gas Parilla? What is Gasparilla? 1176 01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 2: We've talked about We've probably talked about this the entirety 1177 01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 2: of this bowl existing. It's like a pirate themed something 1178 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 2: in Tampa parade, a celebration of some kind. So obviously 1179 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 2: you know about the Buccaneers in Tampa. There is that, 1180 01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,560 Speaker 2: you know, you have the ship and Raymond James, So 1181 01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,640 Speaker 2: I think it's along those lines. 1182 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm looking right now at bad Boy Mowers. 1183 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,960 Speaker 1: Let me tell you, as a new homeowner, I could 1184 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:08,560 Speaker 1: get into this. 1185 01:01:09,920 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 2: You have a big yard. 1186 01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,760 Speaker 1: I could sink my teeth into a nice zero turn mower. 1187 01:01:14,040 --> 01:01:16,360 Speaker 2: You have handheld or a rider right now? 1188 01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: I have a push mower right now? Self? 1189 01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:18,960 Speaker 2: You a push mower? 1190 01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but these are rappy with it? I'm happy with it. Yeah. 1191 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: The riding mowers seem like you should only have them 1192 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:30,480 Speaker 2: if you have a ton of lawn acres upon acres 1193 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,880 Speaker 2: to mow, or walking is difficult. I say that as 1194 01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 2: somebody who's never had a lawn, so maybe I don't 1195 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:37,400 Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. 1196 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:44,440 Speaker 1: I could see the zero turn riding mower here, okay, and. 1197 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,080 Speaker 2: What do you what are you walking away from this bowl? 1198 01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:50,320 Speaker 1: And if you're playing it says you're walking away with 1199 01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 1: a gift suite, din. 1200 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,160 Speaker 2: Come on, bad Boy Mowers. Yeah, I don't know what 1201 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,120 Speaker 2: I would go for the gift suite. Once in the 1202 01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:03,640 Speaker 2: gift suite, do you go for the big ticket items 1203 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,200 Speaker 2: or do you load up on quantity. 1204 01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:07,680 Speaker 1: I think you gotta go big ticket items. Right. 1205 01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 2: You just take a Bluetooth speaker and that's that. 1206 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,960 Speaker 1: Take the thing that you're gonna use, not the thing 1207 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:14,200 Speaker 1: that you think you might use. 1208 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 2: But you could also get a bunch and give them 1209 01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:19,120 Speaker 2: away as gifts, bunch of little things. 1210 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 1: You could. But you earned it if you're a college 1211 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:25,120 Speaker 1: football but you earned it. You put your blood, sweat 1212 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,000 Speaker 1: and tears into this team all year. You go to 1213 01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: the bowl game. This should be about celebrating you and 1214 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 1: your team. So pick something that you personally would want. 1215 01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,560 Speaker 2: Fair. Yeah, I could see somebody's aunt wanting a bad 1216 01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,800 Speaker 2: boy mower's gasparilla bowle pull over. 1217 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:45,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I could all right. Well, Thursday, the twentieth of December, 1218 01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:49,680 Speaker 1: eight pm, ESPN, Marshall at eight and four, South Florida 1219 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 1: at seven and five. The Bulls are a two and 1220 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:55,919 Speaker 1: a half point favorite. I've got two notes here, both 1221 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:58,760 Speaker 1: of which are on the South Florida side. Number one 1222 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 1: st and Gilbert, their offensive coordinator, left to be the 1223 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:08,880 Speaker 1: head coach at McNeese State. I don't know if that matters, because, 1224 01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: as you know, not all coaching turnover is created equal. 1225 01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 1: The Bulls on offense really limped to the finish out there, and. 1226 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:16,760 Speaker 2: Yes they did. 1227 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: If you read what people are saying, Bulls fans were 1228 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:22,520 Speaker 1: not happy with the product that Gilbert was putting out 1229 01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,720 Speaker 1: there down the stretch. So maybe this is for the better. 1230 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. Point two, Blake Barnett actually hurt his 1231 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,440 Speaker 1: shoulder and his ankle and he missed two of the 1232 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:36,160 Speaker 1: last three games at the end of the year, which 1233 01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 1: certainly contributes a little bit to any offensive woes. It 1234 01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: is unclear at time of recording if he's going to 1235 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 1: play in this Bowl game, and even if he plays, 1236 01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,640 Speaker 1: how effective he will be. Well that as the backdrop, Dan, 1237 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 1: what do you got? 1238 01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 2: First of all, there is a density to Charlie Strong 1239 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:58,680 Speaker 2: that I do not trust in the conpool. There just isn't. Also, 1240 01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 2: USF is playing at home and they're only favored by 1241 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,960 Speaker 2: two and a half. That's worrisome to me. So give 1242 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 2: me Doc and Marshall. Give me Doc and the Herd. 1243 01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 2: I'm in. I'm ready. 1244 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go way, I'm gonna go Marshall as well. 1245 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 1: Because of the defense. Their offense is dreadful, very dreadful. 1246 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 2: It improved, it improved, Marshals. 1247 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 1: It improved, and it's still dreadful, which tells us something. 1248 01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:28,440 Speaker 1: But maybe they get a big player from Tyer Brady. 1249 01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 1: Their playmaker out wide. Maybe it's just a stifling effort 1250 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,479 Speaker 1: from the defense, but there's enough uncertainty on the South 1251 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Florida side. I agree with you. Playing the game at 1252 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,720 Speaker 1: home and only being favored by two and a half 1253 01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,400 Speaker 1: against a team that has a pretty bad offense. That's 1254 01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,560 Speaker 1: a bit of an indicator. I am not very confident 1255 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,520 Speaker 1: in this Marshall pick, mind you. So I'm gonna go 1256 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: Marshall with like, let's say twelve points. 1257 01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say nine or ten. 1258 01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:58,080 Speaker 1: For me, I'm gonna go twelve. 1259 01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,560 Speaker 2: They definitely played better second half of it year, but 1260 01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 2: this is more betting against the or betting, yeah, betting 1261 01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:07,000 Speaker 2: against the lack of momentum that USF has right now 1262 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 2: as a program. Defense takes a big step in the 1263 01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,880 Speaker 2: wrong direction this year. You know, there's unhappiness, you know 1264 01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 2: with Sterling Gilbert as you mentioned, and the health at quarterback. 1265 01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:17,880 Speaker 2: It's all worrisome to me. So I'm going with stability here. 1266 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 2: I'm going with. 1267 01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 1: Marshall again my three rules. We're not going to be 1268 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:24,480 Speaker 1: with you to make all of these picks. But as 1269 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,680 Speaker 1: you make the picks first and foremost, well it up early. 1270 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 1: Get all your confidence points out early or as many 1271 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,640 Speaker 1: as you're willing to gamble early, get them out there. 1272 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:38,760 Speaker 1: Number two consider the turnover right coaches leaving, are their 1273 01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:42,000 Speaker 1: injuries or the guys sitting out? Considerate, look to see 1274 01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,800 Speaker 1: if it's a mismatch, but at least considerate. And number 1275 01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 1: three look to see motivation. Who wants to be there? 1276 01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 1: Who doesn't? 1277 01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:55,080 Speaker 2: And number four buoyancy buoyancy right conpool buoyancy and I'm 1278 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 2: not loving Charlie Strong in a pool right now. 1279 01:05:57,600 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 1: Sad to say, well, there you go, there's your first 1280 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 1: batch of games here. Yeah on the verbal hope it 1281 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,360 Speaker 1: helps again. Soliverble at gmail dot com emails so let 1282 01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: us know what you think would be curious. 1283 01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 2: So there are one, two, three, four five on Saturday. Yes, 1284 01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 2: Saturday is a pretty fun day because we haven't had 1285 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 2: football in a little while on this level on the 1286 01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 2: FBS and Power five levels, since we do have Arizona 1287 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 2: State playing, but everybody's going to be tuned in basically 1288 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:31,520 Speaker 2: watching the same games at stretches four stretches. We'll have 1289 01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 2: a lot of eyeballs on Arizona State Fresno State, which 1290 01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,640 Speaker 2: is never true. We'll have a lot of eyeballs on 1291 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 2: Georgia Southern Eastern Michigan, which would never be true. I 1292 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 2: know there's Thursday night games and Wednesday night games, Tuesday 1293 01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 2: night games, but this is everybody on a Saturday in 1294 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,600 Speaker 2: front of a TV paying attention to teams that maybe 1295 01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,720 Speaker 2: the casual fan doesn't always pay attention to. So there 1296 01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:53,600 Speaker 2: is something that I still maintain is pretty cool about 1297 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:55,040 Speaker 2: this Opening Bowl Saturday. 1298 01:06:55,520 --> 01:06:56,120 Speaker 1: I agree. 1299 01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, And then we got Tuesday is UAB, Wednesday is 1300 01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:02,520 Speaker 2: San Diego State, Ohio.

We'll be back again on Sunday. 1302 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna preview more Bowl games. We'll probably i'm sure, 1303 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,920 Speaker 1: talk about some of the results of these games on Saturday. 1304 01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,920 Speaker 1: But make sure if you haven't already to sign up 1305 01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:16,640 Speaker 1: for the Bowl Pick and Pool, the Bowl Confidence Pool. 1306 01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:21,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me at soliverble dot com slash Conpool, Daniel Conpool 1307 01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,880 Speaker 1: con Pool.

I think you can have 1314 01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 2: until mid January. I want to say, is a cut 1315 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 2: off point. Yeah, they've been changing it. Jared'stidham for Auburn. 1316 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:52,000 Speaker 2: He certainly considered it last year and heard his stock 1317 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 2: coming back with his season, But we'll see how he's evaluated. 1318 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:57,640 Speaker 2: Greedy Williams at LSU considered to be one of, if 1319 01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:01,560 Speaker 2: not the best cover corner in the nation. Noah fanse 1320 01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 2: Tight you know Iowa, mister incredible for Iowa. Did a 1321 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,960 Speaker 2: great job alongside t J. Hawkinson this year. Brian Burns 1322 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:11,480 Speaker 2: the end at Florida State, really good pass rusher, AJ Brown, 1323 01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,640 Speaker 2: and just have agreaker in general. AJ Brown, who is 1324 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 2: among the most talented receivers in the country, wasn't as 1325 01:08:17,880 --> 01:08:21,360 Speaker 2: prolific this year with some inconsistencies with ole Miss in general. 1326 01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,519 Speaker 2: DJ Metcalf, same story there with ole Miss and Greg Little. 1327 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,880 Speaker 2: A nice year and a nice enough year. I haven't 1328 01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:29,519 Speaker 2: watched a lot of tape on left tackle for ole Miss, 1329 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:33,559 Speaker 2: but came in super highly regarded and obviously either as 1330 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,559 Speaker 2: done with his time at ole Miss or feels he 1331 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:39,720 Speaker 2: can make a splash in the NFL. So those are 1332 01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:41,280 Speaker 2: some of the big ones that have happened in the last 1333 01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,760 Speaker 2: few days. I saw FAU. I think it's Devin Singletary 1334 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,599 Speaker 2: who had a crazy good twenty seventeen. He declared as well. 1335 01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 2: So there are more names pay attention to. But it 1336 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,120 Speaker 2: keeps happening. It's going to just like every year. It's 1337 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 2: going to be a completely new look year in college football. 1338 01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 2: I think the heater just kicked on in this room. 1339 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah hear it, I do hear it in the back. 1340 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah I didn't.
