1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: Man, Welcome in Lake. You is live.

2
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 2: It is Sunday Night, August twenty ninth, Dear of Our Lord,

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one.

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: There are meaningful games already in the books, one of

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: which we are going to talk about tonight.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: And I'll be honest with you this time last week

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: I did not necessarily know one way or the other

8
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: where the Nebraska in Illinois we're going to have a

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: spot in the show tonight. But they do because a

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: lot of you were talking about this. Let me just

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 2: plant this seed in your mind. What is Nebraska capable

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: of maximum capacity? What are they capable of not under

13
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 2: Scott Frost as a program?

14
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: Just think on that.

15
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: We have like forty seven different areas we need to

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: get to tonight. We are jam packed. I can't stress

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: this enough. The time for taking shows off is over.

18
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: You cannot miss a show. Everyone of them is going

19
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: to be.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Walled a wall.

21
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 2: So if you got friends and family that you need

22
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: to bring back to the table because they've enjoyed in

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: off season what you chose not to do, go ahead

24
00:00:59,320 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: and bring them back.

25
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Touch on that more in just a second.

26
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Tonight, we will debut the Late Kick Renaissance Tour and

27
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: we will also tell you where our Week one destination

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: will be hit on that Momentarily, we've got rapid reaction,

29
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: as I said to Nebraska and Illinois. We've also got

30
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: the Rama Noodle Express back in action. After a sixty

31
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,279
Speaker 2: point nine percent against the spread clip last year fifty

32
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 2: three and thirty four, I want to say, Colin not

33
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: too bad. Colin and I were both able to eat

34
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: handsomely ramen and then some. Because of that, also, what

35
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 2: I cannot wait for in week one. You know, we

36
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 2: don't have a bunch of games to react to the

37
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: way we will this time a week from now. But man,

38
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 2: we got a lot to look forward to. We finally

39
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 2: made it. You can breathe, We finally made it. I

40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: would be remiss if I did not mention our friends

41
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 2: down on the Gulf Coast. It seems about this time

42
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 2: last year we had to kick it up into high

43
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: gear and put forth an effort that I'm assuming we'll

44
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: have to do again. Please keep the people down in

45
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: Louisiana and your thoughts and in your prayers.

46
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Prayer is very important. We believe in it on this show.

47
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: But action is also important, and so there are going

48
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: to days and weeks ahead. Well, we got to take

49
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: some action, so we will do it on our show.

50
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: I would encourage everyone find a way to help out

51
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: after the store moves on and the news cruise move

52
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: out of town. So, as I said, if you've been away,

53
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: and I know some of you have lives, you got kids,

54
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: you got responsibilities. Maybe you just took June and July

55
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: and you went to the beach and you went overseas.

56
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: Whatever you did. Maybe you went to Maine. Some weirdos

57
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: go to Maine to vacation. I'm told, I'm told I

58
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: have nothing against Maine. I do know people who went

59
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: up there for the summer, though, But look, all that's

60
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: done is time to get back down to business.

61
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of things that.

62
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: We talk about on this show that you may feel

63
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: left behind on. Well, if you've got friends that you

64
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: want to bring to the table, if you want to

65
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: find a new college football show, if the national types

66
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: aren't serving your interest and you want a place that

67
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: just talks about college football and none of the other garbage,

68
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: I think this is where you need to wind up.

69
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 2: And all the inside nomenclays, you're all the inside jokes.

70
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 2: I'm gonna explain it all tonight. What in the world

71
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: is a ram Noudle Express, what's a Renaissance Store?

72
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: All that stuff. I'm going to make sense of it

73
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: because we have a.

74
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Huge new audience, even within our audience, So I'm going

75
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 2: to make sense of a lot of things for you tonight.

76
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: But this is your show, So come hang out with

77
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 2: us every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday Night. Got a couple

78
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: of podcasts every week for you too, So make sure

79
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 2: you're listening to us and watching us everywhere you can,

80
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 2: because a lot of this show doesn't make sense until

81
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: you're a part of the show. But the thing about

82
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: it is, if you're watching the show, you're already a

83
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: part of the show. I'm going to debut two things

84
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: tonight that you guys invented. I'm going to show you

85
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 2: some things that you guys created. We are very much

86
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: a crowdsourced show. I appreciate it. I love it that way.

87
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: It drops some jaws here at twenty four to seven

88
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: and CBS sometimes what our audience is capable of. But

89
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: I really appreciate that. So make sure you're following Twitter

90
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: and Instagram at late Kick Josh. There are some things

91
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 2: coming up this week on those platforms that you'll only

92
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 2: see on those.

93
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: Platforms, the first of which is this.

94
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: I've told you for a long time that I wanted

95
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: to try a new concept. I think I first spoke

96
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: about this on the podcast a little while ago, and

97
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: I first started talking about the concept of a renaissance year.

98
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: I've spoken about this for months.

99
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: I feel we've got one upon us now for college

100
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: football in twenty twenty one.

101
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: And what I feel that.

102
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: Well, the reason I feel that mainly is because we've

103
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: got crowds back, We've got a lot of the.

104
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: Elements that we love back to the sport.

105
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: I think, on a purely competitive note, we've got a

106
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: very good shot at some more competitive balance at the top.

107
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: I think we have a shot for several more teams

108
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: to be involved in the race down the stretch, the

109
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 2: stretch being November towards the end of the year.

110
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: So I think that. But also I think when you

111
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: take something.

112
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: Away from someone and they get it back, you just

113
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: appreciate it a lot more.

114
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: So I think there's going to.

115
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: Be a lot about college football this year that is

116
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: sort of a return to what you once loved, even

117
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: as the sand is shifting underneath your feet. But I've

118
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: said all that, and realize, as one of you pointed

119
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: out to me about three or four weeks ago, if

120
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: you're going to be on the road every weekend, which

121
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: we are, and you're calling this a renaissance here, why

122
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 2: don't you just call the road trips you take the

123
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: Renaissance Tour.

124
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Now.

125
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: I love concerts, I love concert tours. I love readings

126
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: stories about them. I'll go look on Wikipedia and see

127
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: what Fleetwood Mac was doing in nineteen seventy seven in

128
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: my spare time, so I love looking at all the

129
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: cities they go to. Well, we're doing that this year

130
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: at least twelve times in including this week, we'll.

131
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Be on the road.

132
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: And so what I'm going to do is, I'm going

133
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 2: to frame it just like a tour, and we're gonna

134
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: call it the Late Kick Renaissance Tour. Every Sunday night

135
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: right here on this show, we will reveal the city

136
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: we're headed to that Friday. Now, what happens from that

137
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: point is really up to you guys. It could be

138
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: nothing more than we go to games like we always do,

139
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 2: or we could just grow this into what becomes an

140
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: event every weekend again, that's up to you. When we're

141
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 2: coming to your town, you can really decide what you

142
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: want to do with that.

143
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: But how do we select all this? You know, how

144
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: do we select games we're going to It's not exactly

145
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: like college game day.

146
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: We do want to see competitive matchups. We want to

147
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: see the biggest matchups. We want to be in the

148
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 2: presence of as many teams as possible. But more importantly,

149
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 2: we don't want blowouts. We don't want to be at

150
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 2: a game that you turn off by the second quarter.

151
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: So we want to see the big but we want to.

152
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: Go where there's competitive balance. We want to see as

153
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: many teams as possible. I want to see as many

154
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: of you as possible. And so this week our selection

155
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 2: came down to really a couple of games. There was

156
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: Penn State at Wisconsin. Gave strong consideration to that, but

157
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: also audience investment matters a lot here, and we just

158
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: flat out heard from a couple of fan bases more

159
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 2: frequently than the rest over the span of the last

160
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: couple of months. So as Jesse's about to do now,

161
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: in fact, we can go ahead and cue this up.

162
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: We're going to show you every week around this time

163
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: where we're going, and then I'll explain to you why

164
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 2: we're going to that place. But I also want to

165
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 2: tell you, as you're about to watch this animation, one

166
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: of you put this together. I called for about a

167
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 2: month ago a number of you who had skills in

168
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: different areas to come forth, and you did. A lot

169
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: of you came forth with information. Some of you came

170
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: forth with graphic skills, some of you came forth with

171
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 2: animation skills.

172
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: And one of you came forth.

173
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 2: And you said, Hey, if you're going to a new

174
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 2: city every week, I'll put you some animation together.

175
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: And so, yese, do we have that? Let's take a

176
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: look at that.

177
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: Actually, if we do have that, we have a delay,

178
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: so I can't always see in our studio what they're

179
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: rolling in in Connecticut.

180
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: There we go.

181
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: So we will be headed to Bank of America Stadium

182
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: in Week one and we will be there right on

183
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: the sideline, right there with a bunch of you for

184
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: Georgia versus Clemson. A lot of you may look at

185
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: that and you may think, well, that's a no brainer.

186
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 2: In some ways it is. This is clearly the biggest

187
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: game of Week one. Having said that, have you looked

188
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: at the week two slate. Have you looked at the

189
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: week three slate? I think week five and week six

190
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 2: it's very muddy. And so this is where we will

191
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: reveal that every week. Looking forward to that, I could

192
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: see that going a number of different ways in the future.

193
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: But big shout out, Jim, you know who you are.

194
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Big shout out on the animation, and onward and upward

195
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 2: with that. So what about this season? What about the

196
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: conference predictions? What about playoff predictions? I cannot tell you

197
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: how many times per day we look in the late

198
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: kick inbox, or I look in the eye Josh, or

199
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: in the Twitter inbox and I see someone say, when

200
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: are you putting at your predictions tonight? That's when we're

201
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: putting the predictions out. Let's start with the conference predictions

202
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: and then we're going to elevate to playoff predictions. I

203
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 2: go about this a different way. I have explained this

204
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: for the last several years. If you're new to the program.

205
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 2: I do not put a lot of investment into my

206
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 2: long range conference and playoff predictions. Last year, I think

207
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: I picked Georgia to win the East, and then I

208
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: flipped it after Week one, and someone came to me

209
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: and said you can't change your pick once a week's

210
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: gone by. Well I can because I don't put a

211
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: lot of stock in them. Now. The week to week

212
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: picks I put a ton of stock in, as you

213
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: can see later on in the show tonight.

214
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: But these no, I'll cheat on them.

215
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: But having said that, you got to nail me down

216
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: before the season starts.

217
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: So here we go.

218
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at the SEC first. In fact,

219
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: we can take a look at the whole thing if

220
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 2: we want to. Jesse and the SEC kind of showed

221
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: you the records the other day. But we're going Alabama

222
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: versus Georgia in the SEC championship game. I have both

223
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: of these teams going eleven and one in the regular season.

224
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: You see on the screen the odds to win the

225
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: SEC Championship. So Alabama is the current favorite in the clubhouse,

226
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: and it makes sense to me. We've got him ranked

227
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: as the number one overall team in the country.

228
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: Georgia I think we have at five.

229
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: Vegas has him at plus two to twenty five. We've

230
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: got Alabama versus Georgia in Atlanta. This was not some

231
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 2: slam dunk for me on the western side. On the

232
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: eastern side it was, but it's not a slam dunk

233
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 2: with me for Alabama. I may change my opinion on

234
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 2: them after I see him in Miami or against Miami.

235
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: But I've got I don't know.

236
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: I've got to feel about Alabama, mainly because I've listened

237
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: to Nick Saban talk the last couple of weeks and

238
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: he's been kind of brutally honest about his team and

239
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: sharing with you and everyone else that I don't know.

240
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 2: I think some facets of this team are kind of

241
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 2: a working progress. Offensive line kind of a work in progress.

242
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: So Alabama Georgia, we would make this game with our

243
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: own model, our own in house model. If we played

244
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: this one today, we'd have Alabama minus five. We don't

245
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: see a massive gap between those two teams. The thing

246
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: that's aggravating if you're on the Georgia side of this

247
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: equation is this is the year. I mean, I was

248
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: talking to a personnel type about a month ago who said,

249
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: if you're getting Bama, this is the year to get them.

250
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: I mean, they are very, very green at a number

251
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: of places that they're so talented in. But if you're

252
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: going to get them this year, those the next couple

253
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: of years they're going to be as loaded as they've

254
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 2: ever been. They've had the best recruiting classes they've ever had,

255
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 2: including the last one that was the best in history,

256
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: to get them now. And so you think about that,

257
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: and Georgia's got quarterback figured out, or so you tell

258
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: yourself all summer, and then you get into a game,

259
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: and yet you look at them and there's still a

260
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 2: dog Tobama. Now that doesn't mean everything because they've been

261
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: underdogs to Obama before, but this is the time you

262
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 2: got to beat them. And yet, as we sit here

263
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 2: right now, we've got Alabama beating Georgia in the SEC

264
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 2: Championship game. So there's that. We move on to the

265
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: ACC Championship game. This one probably a little more clear cut.

266
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 2: Clemson versus North Carolina again, one side of this division

267
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: pretty easy. I don't see a path where Clemson's not there.

268
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: There is a path where North Carolina's not there. Now

269
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: it probably has a lot to do with Miami. You

270
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: can make arguments for other programs, but if this game

271
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: more to happen, if clems in North Carolina happened today,

272
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: we make Clemson a thirteen and a half point favorite.

273
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: This is not Vegas this is us. This is our

274
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: model talking.

275
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: In other words, this is how we think the game

276
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: would actually turn out, or at least the model does.

277
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: If North Carolina has two losses, which our model predicts

278
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 2: them to have, we think they're ten and two going

279
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: into this game. I've got to believe that means that

280
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: one of those ten wins was against Miami, because if

281
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: that game goes the other way and North Carolina's got

282
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 2: a couple of losses, which I would assume are going

283
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: to be conference losses, then it could very well be

284
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: Miami parked in this spot.

285
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: But you're looking at the odds there. If you're watching

286
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: on YouTube.

287
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 2: To win the conference, it's clemsing, you know, by a

288
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: country mile, and then everyone else. I think you're overthinking

289
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 2: the room here if you try and find a path

290
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 2: for anyone other than Clemson. Not that it's impossible, but

291
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: how is there any skill sitting here in August for

292
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: forecasting that I don't think there is. So we're taking

293
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Clemson over North Carolina to win the ACC in the

294
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 2: Big ten kind of a duplicate of the first two.

295
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: There is a pretty clear path as it appeers for

296
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 2: Ohio State. So we got the buck guys in Indianapolis,

297
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: and then we've got Wisconsin. These are the two preseason

298
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: favorites in those respective divisions. These are the two, well

299
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: the top two at least favorites to win the conference. Again,

300
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 2: there's a wide gap between favorite number one and then

301
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: runner up. There Ohio State minus two to twenty five

302
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: to win the conference. Wisconsin checking in a distant second

303
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 2: at plus seven fifty. Notice Penn State, they're floating around

304
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: the third spot. They play Wisconsin in Week one. For

305
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: the record, the JP poll has Wisconsin and Penn State

306
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: ranked eighth and ninth, so we like both of them

307
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 2: higher than the AP does. I believe Tier two of

308
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: the Big ten is very strong this year. The question

309
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 2: becomes how close does the top of the second tier

310
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 2: come to rubbing up against the first tier because Tier

311
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: one is a tier of one, and that is Ohio State. Now,

312
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 2: that could all change if they were to drop a

313
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: game against Minnesota and they look vulnerable, but they're favored

314
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: by about two touchdowns for a reason.

315
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 1: In that one.

316
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the game more this week. We have

317
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: got Ohio State versus Wisconsin. If the game happened today,

318
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: we would have Ohio State as a fourteen point favorite,

319
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: two touchdown gap. There, We're not gonna go out on

320
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 2: any thin ice, any thin limb. We're gonna take Ohio

321
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: State over Wisconsin to win the Big Ten.

322
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: In the Big Twelve, this.

323
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: Is where we're sort of hitting the manual override button

324
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: a little bit. I kind of showed you this the

325
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: other night. We've got Iowa State at eleven to one

326
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: facing an eleven to one Oklahoma team in the Big

327
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: Twelve title game.

328
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: It's important to note the.

329
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Model thinks both teams have a loss by the time

330
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: they get to the Big Twelve title game. There are

331
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 2: no divisions here, so you're just taking the top two teams.

332
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: As far as conference odds go.

333
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: If you're looking on YouTube right now, Oklahoma's minus one

334
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: seventy to win the conference.

335
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: That is not overwhelming.

336
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: But yet if you suggest anyone other than Oklahoma's going

337
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 2: to win this conference, you get a ton of national blowback.

338
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: And I think there's a perception reality thing here because

339
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 2: Iowa State's plus two to eighty to win this theme.

340
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: Texas is next a plus one thou which even as

341
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 2: I look at it, seems a little weird, But they're

342
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: plus one thousand The point is this is not viewed

343
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: as some unclosable, insurmountable gap by odds makers.

344
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: So here's what we have. This is the only game

345
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: I manually overrode.

346
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 2: If these two teams played today in neutral field, we'd

347
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: have Oklahoma minus eight and a half to about minus nine.

348
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: And yet it's an angle I'm play And now I

349
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: think I've got the angle pretty hardwired. So I'm not

350
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: changing on that we are taking Iowa State over Oklahoma

351
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve championship game.

352
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: That's not something I'm shifting on.

353
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: Where I could shift is I'm looking at the schedule

354
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: right now, and I could easily see Iowa State being

355
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: eleven and one and Oklahoma being twelve and oh when

356
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 2: they go into that game.

357
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Now, think about that for a second.

358
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: If the same outcome we just predicted plays itself out,

359
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: that probably means that we'll obviously Oklahoma's beaten Iowa State

360
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: regular season, Iowa State gets them back in the Big

361
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: Twelve title game. Here's the question I'd love to pose.

362
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: We don't know what the rest of the country would

363
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: look like. Is it possible for the Big Twelve to

364
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: have two teams in the playoff if that particular scenario

365
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 2: played out. OU's only loss is very close, competitive against

366
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: a top five team themselves that they already beat once

367
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: and that's their only blemish a conference title game. You

368
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 2: got the Notre Dames of the world floating around out

369
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 2: there that don't even play in a conference title game,

370
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get ding to mumped out of the

371
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 2: playoffs because you were in one. Just interesting, just interesting

372
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: fodder here in August. And lastly, over on the West coast,

373
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: we've got the PAC twelve championship game.

374
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: Oregon versus Utah.

375
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: Both of these teams are two lost teams according to

376
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: the model, so we've got Oregon ten and two, we

377
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: got Utah ten and two. We would make this game

378
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 2: Oregon minus three and a half if they played it

379
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: right now. This conference ironically is viewed as the least

380
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: likely to have a playoff participant, but it's the one

381
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 2: that fascinates me the most because I think the pack

382
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: toll South, especially is going to be very competitive, kind

383
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: of a knife fight. I just don't know if they're

384
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: going to be those plastic McDonald's knives or if they're

385
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: knives that can do some real damage.

386
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: If they are, and if there is a clear cut face.

387
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: Out of the PAC twelve South, then you got to

388
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: ask yourself, is there one or maybe two teams capable

389
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: of getting to this game with fewer than two losses?

390
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: Could we get a one loss Utah there or Ucla?

391
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: They looked pretty good yesterday, USC Arizona State and no

392
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: one knows what to make of them right now. You know,

393
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 2: as far as the North goes, I just think Oregon

394
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: is the better team, and that's why I picked Oregon

395
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: out of the North. But the model has them with

396
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 2: a couple of losses. If either of these is a

397
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: one loss team and they end up being a twelve

398
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: and one Pac twelve champion, then you have to ask yourself,

399
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 2: what is a one loss Pack twelve champ capable of

400
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: making the playoff? The answer, of course is most always

401
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: it depends on what the rest of the field looks like.

402
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: But we got Bama over Georgia, we got Clemson over

403
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: North Carolina, Ohio State over Wisconsin, Iowa State over.

404
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: Oklahoma, and Oregon over Utah.

405
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: Take a look, if you're watching right now, what stands

406
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 2: out the most aside from Iowa State that one's going

407
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 2: to get a lot of pushback, but I'm pretty adamant

408
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 2: about that. Again, it's just an angle I think I

409
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: have on it. I'll explain it as the season goes on.

410
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It has happened before. Also,

411
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: I could just switch that week two. I mean, Iowa

412
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: State could lose to Northern Iowa for all I know,

413
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: and I could switch at week two.

414
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: I reserve the right too.

415
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: You also reserve the right to throw these predictions in

416
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: the trash if you don't value someone who does that,

417
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: because I would totally understand it.

418
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: So now we move on, because now we get.

419
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: To the bigger stage that I do not view as

420
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: the bigger stage, but a lot of you do, because

421
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: you probably ask me about playoffs three to one to

422
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: the conference title race. And so with that in mind,

423
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: we put the playoff predictions second. So this year's college

424
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: football playoff predictions, keeping in mind that we have Clemson

425
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: coming out of the ACC, we got Ohio State coming

426
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: out of the Big Ten, we got Iowa State coming

427
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: out of the Big twelve, got Bama out of the SEC,

428
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: and we have Oregon out of the Pac twelve. I

429
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: have not spoken about Notre Dame. I do not expect

430
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 2: them to be in this top four top five range.

431
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 2: I do not expect Cincinnati to be in this top

432
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 2: four top five range. Now, having said that, that means

433
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna have losses, or at least one.

434
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: I cannot state in clear enough terms if Cincinnati is

435
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 2: undefeated this year. Regardless of what my opinion has been,

436
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: and it's been a very strong one in the past

437
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: about the inclusion of G five teams in the playoff,

438
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 2: they're going to be in the playoff in my not

439
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: so humble opinion. So I think that, but I don't

440
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: think it's gonna get tested. Although in an alternate universe

441
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: I wish we.

442
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: Could see it.

443
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 2: I don't think we're going to test that theory because

444
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: I think they are going to have at least one loss. Listen,

445
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: they can have conference losses. It's it's a hard conference

446
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 2: to win. That American Athletic Conference is a hard conference

447
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: to win. Some would indicate to you tougher than one

448
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 2: or two Power five conferences. I'll leave that up to you, guys.

449
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at our playoff field. I guess

450
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 2: we call it though. The Clemson Tigers I'm putting in

451
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 2: as the number one overall seed. It is the only

452
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: team that the model is choosing to go undefeated, which

453
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 2: kind of tips the model's cap as to what it

454
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: thinks is going to happen in Week one.

455
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: Clemson versus Georgia.

456
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 2: Now, when we pick that game on Tuesday, I reserve

457
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: the right to do the manual over ride, just as

458
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: I did with Iowa State and Oklahoma. But the model

459
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: does like Clemson in that game. So it's the easiest

460
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 2: path to twelve and zero. You're probably seventy percent of

461
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 2: the way to being undefeated given their conference schedule once

462
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 2: they get through that game. If they do end up

463
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: beating Georgia, their toughest games, to give you an idea,

464
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: as you look at Arkansas schedule and they play half

465
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: the AFC South, Clemson's toughest remaining games, it looks like

466
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 2: right now are at NC State and at pitt So

467
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 2: there you go.

468
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: If you can get through that and they will be

469
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: huge favorites.

470
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 2: They could be three plus touchdown favorites against the rest

471
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 2: of their schedule. That's not their fault. It is very

472
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: much the fault of the rest of the conference. Hopefully

473
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: part of that conference comes a little ways in rectifying

474
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 2: that problem this year. But Clemson is my number one seed.

475
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: I've got Ohio State as the number two seed. It

476
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 2: feels like the best shot they have to lose is

477
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 2: before November. Our models got them going eleven to one

478
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: before the uf It's title game. Now a lot of

479
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: you ask me the other day, where's the loss? Where's

480
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 2: the loss? And I had to explain it's a very

481
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 2: boring response. I don't do the whole Put your twelve

482
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: game schedule on a board and go win loss, win loss,

483
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: win loss. We have a percentage chance per one thousand

484
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: game simulations of how likely you are to win the game,

485
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: and then we just aggregate it. Well the model does,

486
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 2: We're too lazy to so it just finds a total

487
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: of one Ohio State losses.

488
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: It doesn't pick the game. Again, boring, I know.

489
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: That's why we don't really do a whole lot of

490
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: prediction segments on the show. But if the Buckeyes do

491
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 2: lose and it's not to Michigan, stop laughing.

492
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: Stop doing that.

493
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 2: If it's not to Michigan, it's probably been earlier in

494
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: the season. Maybe it's Penn State, you know, maybe it's

495
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: one of these early season games. They just don't have

496
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: their wheels under him yet. But whatever it is, they've

497
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: had plenty of time to rectify it. And when this team,

498
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: when this Ohio State team eventually hits its stride, whenever

499
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: that is this year, they're going.

500
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: To be tough to deal with.

501
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: It may be Week one, or it may be week four,

502
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: week five, but it's going to be at some point.

503
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 2: These teams with this much talent, they don't ever go

504
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: an entire season without eventually finding that gear. You just

505
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: got to get them early enough to where it doesn't

506
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 2: matter when they find the gear. And when they find

507
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: that gear, I think they're going to be right there

508
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: with that one or two seed. And so we've got

509
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 2: clumbson Ohio State Bama. I've got in the third spot.

510
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 2: The model has Bama going.

511
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Twelve and one.

512
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 2: This one is not so difficult for me to foresee.

513
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: I think there's a loss somewhere on Bama's regular season schedule.

514
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: Like I said in the conference predictions, it could be

515
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: that I watch Alabama in Week one against Miami, which

516
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 2: is a very very good test. It's plenty good enough

517
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 2: athletic test for us to gauge Alabama. It could be

518
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: that we watch them and we say Nick Saban has

519
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: done it again. I do not believe this a new

520
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: o seed, all these new pieces and look at them

521
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: just going up and down the field. If that's the case,

522
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: then my field is wrong. Probably, And if that's the case,

523
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: you can go ahead and pencil them in as the

524
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 2: number one seed here. I don't think that's the case.

525
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 2: I think they are very good team. I'm starting them

526
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 2: off as my top ranked team, which tells you what

527
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 2: I think about them. But I also think that college

528
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: football is relative to who you play. Of course, i'd

529
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: have Bama the number one seed if they play clubson

530
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: schedule they don't.

531
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: There are some tests here, like I know a lot

532
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: of You have to see Texas A.

533
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 2: And M move the ball up and down the field

534
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 2: to believe they can beat Alabama.

535
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: They can beat Alabama.

536
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: Florida with some turnover help and the factor of home

537
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 2: field in their corner could have a puncher's chance of

538
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 2: beating Alabama. The point is with Bama, you never believe

539
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 2: it can happen until it happens. I've picked them to

540
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: lose two games since two thousand and ten. One of

541
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: them was the Manzel game. One of them was the

542
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen Iron Bowl. I was two and zero on them,

543
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: So I'm not picking them to lose any game right now.

544
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: But I'm saying that's how few and far between my

545
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: picks of Alabama loss are.

546
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm not seeing one specific one.

547
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you the total, the sum total of this

548
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: schedule this year could take a toll. I think there's

549
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: a loss somewhere, But just like OHI of State, those

550
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: young receivers, that offensive line, Bryce Young himself, eventually this

551
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 2: is all gonna gel and I think the defense is

552
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 2: going to be there from week one, and when they do,

553
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: they'll be as tough an out as anyone in the country.

554
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: So we got Bama winning the SEC, and we got

555
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: them in that number three spot. Here Iowa State I

556
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 2: have making the playoff at number four, which if it happened,

557
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 2: I think a lot of folks would enjoy, not just

558
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: Texas fans, because it would mean Oklahoma doesn't make the playoff.

559
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that crowd.

560
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the crowd that thinks there is this

561
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: ceiling or maybe even sort of an electric fence around

562
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: a few programs and no one else is allowed in

563
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: the playoff, and you've been told the system keeps everyone

564
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: else out. Now, I love Iowa State. I have heavy,

565
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 2: heavy bias. I will not pretend otherwise. So I hope

566
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 2: this happens selfishly, but I hope a lot of stuff

567
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 2: happens selfishly that I don't pick on this show. I

568
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 2: can assure you. So I'm behind this. For better or

569
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: for worse. I'm behind this pick. And as you know,

570
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: these shows live forever. So if they lose to Northern

571
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: Iowa and week one, you know, if they look a

572
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: little suspect in Week two against Iowa and they drop

573
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: like the fortieth game in a row against the Hawkeyes,

574
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: then yeah, you can rag me that's fine, But I'm

575
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: going to sit behind this pick. But my question is

576
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 2: not about the winner of the Big Twelve going to

577
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: the playoff, because I believe they'll be there. My question

578
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: becomes if this is an undefeated Oklahoma team and somehow

579
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: they're only loss is to Iowa State, however that ends

580
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: up happening, then what does the committee do? Because you

581
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 2: only got four spots, what does the committee do there?

582
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: That remains to be seen. I would be fascinated if

583
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 2: that were to play out. That way because I think

584
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: that Iowa State's going to peak at the right time.

585
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: My whole feel behind this is regardless of what happens

586
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: in that first go round, I think they're going to

587
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: peak at the right time. I also think there's a

588
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: lot to be said for the intangible factors that are

589
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 2: probably gonna have or that team will have on their

590
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: side this year. The chemistry aspect, you know, the stuff

591
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 2: people talk a lot about in lieu of actual football.

592
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 2: I think it actually matters with them this year, and

593
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: they got good players.

594
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: They got very good players.

595
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: I think they'll have enough to win the Big Twelve.

596
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: So with that in mind, you see Clemson Iowa. You

597
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: see Ohio State and Alabama or Clemson Iowa State. Yes,

598
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: I haven't said it a whole lot, so it seems

599
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: weird when it comes out of my mouth.

600
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm taking Clemson to win the national championship.

601
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: And the reason is because I'm looking up and down

602
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,959
Speaker 2: and knowing the formula for Dabos Swinny and I'm saying, well,

603
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: he's got every box checked. Finally, he's got a few

604
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 2: people doubting him. You know my thoughts on that, But

605
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 2: there are a few people out there doubting them. They've

606
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 2: got a phenomenal quarterback. I don't really care so much

607
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 2: about the experience. Nebraska's got a quarterback that's been there

608
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 2: since I was in eighth grade. Did you see how

609
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: much experience mattered at quarterback yesterday for Nebraska? They went

610
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 2: backwards as much as they went forward. You got to

611
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: have talent you have in this case, you got to

612
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: have star level talent, and then the experience will come.

613
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: But man, when you.

614
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 2: Got guys like dj Uyanglala, there's something about that level

615
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: of talent that can supplement a lot of that experience. Plus,

616
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: when you get to this point, you got a year's

617
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: worth of experience anyway. Oh and by the way, you're

618
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: facing Bryce Young in the playoff, You're facing CJ.

619
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: Stroud in the playoff.

620
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: How many games they started, so all that's irrelevant. If anything,

621
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 2: he's got a little edge up on them. The wide

622
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 2: receiver room's going to be a huge difference for them

623
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: this year. Will Shipley among others in the backfield as

624
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: the season goes on is going to be a huge

625
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: different They can afford to use their entire schedule as scrimmages,

626
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: which they've been known to do in the past. I

627
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: don't criticize them for it. It's the exact same thing

628
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: I would do if.

629
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: I were clemsing.

630
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: But that team will time this up because they've done

631
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: it before, and they'll get to December and they will

632
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: look like they've been shot out of a cannon. Learning

633
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 2: from their past mistakes and shortfalls. Having the defensive line

634
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 2: with seasoning about it now probably the best in the country.

635
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: This year, I got Clemson winning the national championship. I

636
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: hinted at it two weeks ago. No one ever talked

637
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: me off of it. So give me the Clemson Tigers.

638
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: There.

639
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: You see our full playoff field if you're listening on

640
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: the pod.

641
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: We got Clemson won.

642
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 2: Ohio State two, Alabama three, Iowa State four. Hashtag go Clones.

643
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,680
Speaker 2: But in the end it is go Tigers. Clemson wins

644
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: the National Championship. I just wanted to leave a little

645
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 2: I wanted to leave a little silence there. I wanted

646
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 2: to let it sit. You know, Clemson folks think I

647
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: don't like them. There's all the proof in the world. Okay, well,

648
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 2: it's time to talk about something that was kind of

649
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: sad yesterday. And even if you're an Illinois fan, and

650
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 2: you are jubilant as you should be over winning that

651
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 2: game yesterday. You gotta look and you gotta say, poor Nebraska.

652
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 2: So here we go, Colin, here's your endpoint three two one.

653
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 2: Illinois beat Nebraska yesterday. Now that's the way I saw it.

654
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: A lot of you saw it as Nebraska just tossed

655
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: the game away.

656
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: Nebraska lost a game.

657
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: It is true to a certain extent that more games

658
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 2: are lost than one in week one of college football.

659
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: Many different ways you can look at this.

660
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: All that matters is what the scoreboard says, and it

661
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: said I believe thirty to twenty two. So the fighting Eliini,

662
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: under Brett Beilama's tutelage for all of twenty minutes they

663
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: come away with the dub. Because I'm not going to

664
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: talk a lot of Illinois here, I want to give

665
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: proper congratulations because it was very eye opening to see

666
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: how prepared they looked in related to the team under

667
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 2: the multiple year regime.

668
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: Over across the field in Red.

669
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: So don't freak out after week one is what we

670
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 2: normally say on this show.

671
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: But I think it's okay to freak out.

672
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: I really do, because this is not a new staff

673
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,199
Speaker 2: It's not a young team at Nebraska. There are a

674
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 2: lot of fixtures, and for better or for worse, this

675
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: is the result that your.

676
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: Fixtures gave you yesterday.

677
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: And it's pretty clear at this point there's no need

678
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 2: to sugarcoat this. It's not going to end well with

679
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 2: Scott Frost. I was over on the Huskers twenty four

680
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: to seven board last night. You gotta be delicate, I know.

681
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: I know what the perception is when one of these

682
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 2: national types comes in and you only seem to hear

683
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: from them after you lose. To a certain extent guilty,

684
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: So you got to be very respectful and delicate. But

685
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: I asked them, I'm going to talk about the game

686
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, and I want to know what the general

687
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: mood here is.

688
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: Because I know what the national mood is. I'm about

689
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: to talk about that in a second.

690
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: Some of it fires me up a little bit, and

691
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: I'm not even from Nebraska, and I got essentially what

692
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: I thought we'd get from them.

693
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: This is one of their own, Scott Frost is one

694
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: of their own.

695
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: Every benefit of the doubt in the world, I mean,

696
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 2: they thought they had hit a Grand Slam for the record.

697
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: The rest of us did two when they hired him.

698
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: I did not hear from many people that bemoaned the

699
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 2: hiring of Scott Frost, certainly not from Lincoln, Nebraska and beyond.

700
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: And so you may have people coming out of the

701
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: woodwork now saying I knew it wasn't going to work out. Well,

702
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: you didn't know when they hired him three or four

703
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 2: years ago, or at least I didn't hear you.

704
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: You must have been on vacation that week.

705
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: But I think we can all see that we see

706
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: Scott Frost twenty eighteen, nineteen twenty, notin twenty one, as

707
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 2: started off on a bad foot. He is twelve and

708
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 2: twenty one. That numbers plastered on every billboard up there

709
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: right now. Everyone knows that number. What was embarrassing for

710
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 2: me to watch yesterday, and what was certainly unacceptable for

711
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 2: Nebraska fans to watch, is it's one thing to lose

712
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 2: games against Ohio State. No one up there expects them

713
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 2: to be going toe to toe athlete for athlete with

714
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 2: Ohio State. There is a misconception that Nebraska folks think

715
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 2: they should be rolling the exact.

716
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 1: Way they did the nineties, and it's not the case.

717
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: There may be one out of every one thousand of

718
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 2: them that actually talks that way, And of course that

719
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 2: voice gets amplified by the clicks and aggregation crowd out

720
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 2: there in our own industry.

721
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: And so I'll move off that. So Hr didn't get

722
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: on to me.

723
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: But the one one hundred and thirteen days start that

724
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: Scott Frost had on Brett Bielima, and for a team

725
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 2: to look that unprepared relative to Illinois was what was

726
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 2: embarrassing and unacceptable. So here's what I want to address.

727
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: Because there's a lot that's obvious with Nebraska, and then

728
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 2: there is I think a big misconception with them. I've

729
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: heard so many people over the last twenty four hours say, well,

730
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: you know, you just can't win at Nebraska anymore, and.

731
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: I think it's complete garbage.

732
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,239
Speaker 2: I think that entire that entire take is like a

733
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: wet bag of trash. If you'll ever talk people through

734
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: to a logical conclusion who say that, you'll find them

735
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 2: on their heels immediately because what they'll say is, well,

736
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: you know that they can't get the talent there, or

737
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: you know they can't they just can't recruit like they

738
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 2: used to.

739
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's true, that ain't why they lost yesterday. People's

740
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: talk all the time.

741
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,959
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how many people I had on

742
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 2: my phone yesterday. It's normally, I mean, I'll just say it, normally,

743
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: the kind of person who wants to seem like the

744
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: intellectual superior in the room.

745
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: They're the first ones to run.

746
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: To Twitter or a message board or anywhere including your

747
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: face or my eye, Josh, and say.

748
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: Nebraska just can't win anymore. Man, they can't win. And

749
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: I'll ask them why, because I think that's total garbage.

750
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: I'll ask them why and they'll say, well, they just

751
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: can't get talent anymore. And I'll say, is talent what?

752
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 2: Through the film, i got penalty fights all over the place.

753
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: I've got procedural issues all over the place. I got

754
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: all sorts of game day issues that do not relate

755
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 2: to talent all over the place.

756
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: That's costing them.

757
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: That's not a talent issue. The problem's not externally. The

758
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: problem's not the dynamics change. The problem Nebraska has is

759
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: within their own four walls or athletic department. To be

760
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: honest with you, it hurts to say because that means

761
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: it's Scott Frost's fault. That's what you have to admit,

762
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: and it's one of your own and that's not fun

763
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: to admit.

764
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: But they've arrived at that conclusion already there.

765
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 2: But then I continue with this crowd that tells you, oh,

766
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 2: Nebraska can't win anymore.

767
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: We'll push them through.

768
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 2: If you believe that, let me push you to a

769
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: logical conclusion.

770
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: What do you mean by win?

771
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 2: And if I challenge someone on that, most of the

772
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,239
Speaker 2: time I get, well, they can't win like they did

773
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,239
Speaker 2: in the nineties. None of them think they're going to

774
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 2: None of them think they're going to. No one is

775
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 2: trying to channel Tom Osborne. And if they see anything

776
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: less than that, they get aggravated on Saturday. That's not

777
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: where their head's at. If you believe that, it means

778
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 2: you don't know a thing about Nebraska.

779
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: That's not what they want.

780
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: What they want is to be competitive and have a

781
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 2: respectable program, which is more than within the realm of

782
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 2: possibility at Nebraska even today. And then someone will say, well,

783
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 2: they still can't get talent up there. They can't get

784
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 2: what kind of talent. They're not looking to go toe

785
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 2: to toe with Alabama, they're not looking to compare to

786
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State at least they don't think they have business

787
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: doing it. Now, someone came in there and worked a miracle,

788
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 2: that'd be great. But what kind of talent are we

789
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: talking about here? What kind of talent does Iowa have?

790
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: What kind of talent does Iowa State have? What kind

791
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 2: of talent does Wisconsin have? You're telling me that there

792
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: are dynamics in play and resources available there that aren't

793
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: available in plentiful supply in Lincoln, Nebraska, really, and so

794
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: I keep pushing because I still haven't gotten anything logical.

795
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: We're looking for that conclusion. And then someone well they're

796
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,959
Speaker 2: just they're not close to those programs. You're right, you

797
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 2: are right, you got the what you don't have the why.

798
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 2: You're right, Nebraska, there's a big gap between them and

799
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: Iowa right now. There's a big gap between them and

800
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:41,959
Speaker 2: Iowa State, big gap between them and Wisconsin.

801
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: The problem is the why.

802
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 2: And you think the problems out there, you think the

803
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 2: problem is college football changed and it left Nebraska behind.

804
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: There is no change that's left Nebraska behind that brought

805
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: along with it the Iowa and Iowa states of the world,

806
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: in the Wisconsins in the world. The problems inside, it's

807
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: in the mirror. That's hard to say because that means

808
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: the guy that everyone looked at as the last hope

809
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 2: is not the hope. There's a lot that's been written

810
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 2: today in Nebraska, a lot of very powerful stuff as

811
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: it relates to football that's been written today on this

812
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 2: very topic.

813
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: And the question up there is essentially, if not Scott Frost,

814
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: then who, Well, my answer is the next guy. That's

815
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: who it is. I know that it had a storybook

816
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: element to it.

817
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 2: I know it was supposed to look like that's going

818
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: to be the guy one of our own comes back home.

819
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 2: That's the way it would work if Nebraska corn Husky's

820
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: Football is a Netflix series, But it's not.

821
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: This real life.

822
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's muddy, and sometimes it's really unorganized, and sometimes

823
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: when you least suspect it, you ended up hiring the

824
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 2: right guy. I'm not defending Scott Frost here. A lot

825
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,799
Speaker 2: of this is indefensible. I'm just defending Nebraska because I

826
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 2: don't think that hole you can't win anymore in Nebraska.

827
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's valid because I don't think a

828
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: lot of the reasons they've been losing have anything to

829
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,719
Speaker 2: do with the talent resource that you think has been

830
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 2: cut off to Nebraska.

831
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: There was a key sentiment yesterday that.

832
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: Scott Frost expressed in his postgame media availability, and I

833
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 2: know Nebraska fans heard it. Most of you probably didn't

834
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 2: watch it, but it was sort of telling because he said,

835
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: I'm paraphrasing, but he said, I don't know what more

836
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: we could have done. Scott Frost loses to Illinois thirty

837
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: to twenty two, and he goes to the podium after

838
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: having a oney one hundred and thirteen day head stortum

839
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:33,399
Speaker 2: Brett Bielima and getting beaten and out coached, and he says,

840
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what more we could have done. I

841
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: believe him. I believe he's being dead honest, and I

842
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: believe that's accurate. I don't think he knows of anything

843
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: more he could have done. But just because Scott Frost

844
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 2: doesn't know of anything more he could have done doesn't

845
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 2: mean there isn't anything more that could be done at Nebraska.

846
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: It just means it's going to have to be done,

847
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: probably after he's gone.

848
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't never do.

849
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: That stuff on this show. I don't do the whole

850
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: hot seat stuff. I never call for people's jobs, and

851
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 2: I this is not my program. So this is just

852
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: a reflection or guess an observation. They'll handle things the

853
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 2: way they want to handle it, but the whole If

854
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 2: not Scott Frost, then who conversation. It's the next guy.

855
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: That's who it is. It's the next guy. You just

856
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 2: got to keep trying. The alternative is to quit or

857
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 2: at least accept, you know, forever, to be doomed to

858
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 2: what you saw yesterday, which is not acceptable. They're not

859
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 2: looking to be Alabama, that would be unrealistic. But if

860
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 2: they're looking to be Wisconsin, if they're looking to be Iowa,

861
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: that is completely acceptable and well within the realm of

862
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 2: possibility for Nebraska.

863
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: Okay, now let's move on. Now, let's tone it down.

864
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 2: That was a sad topic, but we want to turn

865
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 2: the frown upside down.

866
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: We want to talk happy times here.

867
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 2: This time last year we introduced the Rama Noodle Express

868
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: on Late Cake Live.

869
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: I need to remind you, cause many of you were new.

870
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 2: Our audience has grown like seventy five or eighty percent

871
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 2: since this time last year. Our podcast has grown fifty

872
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 2: five percent in the last just one and twenty days,

873
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 2: So they tell me that's pretty good. Point being a

874
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 2: lot of this stuff makes no sense to you. A

875
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 2: lot of this stuff sounds like Mandarin Chinese. What is

876
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 2: the Rama Noodle Express? Well, here's what. We own a model.

877
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:18,320
Speaker 2: We being me and an undisclosed person own a model.

878
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 1: It's proprietary in nature. We run it.

879
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: We have for a long time. You need to have

880
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: friends in your lives who are data scientists. It always

881
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 2: pays off. You will never regret knowing data scientists. And

882
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,760
Speaker 2: so we hone this thing for several years. It performs

883
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: very well for us. Now it is not for sale.

884
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: Nothing like that. I mean, it's not unless the right

885
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: mega conglomerate from the West coast calls. But right now,

886
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: not for sale. But every week on this show we

887
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 2: will hand out between five and eight picks. Last year

888
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 2: these went fifty three and thirty four. We hit at

889
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,279
Speaker 2: about a sixty one percent clip against the number. Any

890
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 2: of you who know anything about betting know what that means.

891
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 2: Let me also give you a fair warning. If most

892
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 2: people come up to you and say they're hitting at

893
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 2: sixty or sixty one percent, they're lying to you. So

894
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: I would not even believe the words coming out of

895
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: my mouth right now. If I were you, without observing

896
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 2: this and validating it. But every one of these picks

897
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 2: is public from last year. If you have an entire

898
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: week free and you want to go document it yourself,

899
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: why do we call it the Rama Noodle Express?

900
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: Though?

901
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: When I was doing radio and Columbus Georgia back in

902
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 2: the day, we took a call from a guy one day.

903
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: It was a Monday afternoon, and he was desperate. He

904
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: was not in a good place, and he said that

905
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 2: he really needed a pick against the spread. And he

906
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: was out of breath even though he was on a

907
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 2: car phone, and he was talking in borderline hysterics, and

908
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: so you got to calm him town, and you got

909
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 2: to say, buddy, what's up? Are you talking to us

910
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,799
Speaker 2: from Utah? Is the air thinner where you are? And

911
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 2: he said, no, I just really need to win this

912
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: one tonight. How bad do you need to win this

913
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: one tonight?

914
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: Well?

915
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: If I don't win this one tonight, my kids are

916
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 2: eating rama noodles this week. It's what the guy said. Now,

917
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,720
Speaker 2: we did the responsible thing and handed him chiefs plus six.

918
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 1: And a half. It cashed.

919
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how the story turns out. We did

920
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 2: not handle that the way we should have. That's the

921
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: bad part. The good part is I did kind of

922
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: file that away in my memory, Ramen Noodle, Ramen Noodle,

923
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 2: and so I love trains, I remember that segment. I

924
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: love branding everything, and so we made the segment, We

925
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 2: made the picks, the Ramen Noodle Express, built entirely to

926
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: keep you off a diet of rama Noodle. We release

927
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: five to eight of them every week. It could be

928
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: at any time. The only thing I can promise you

929
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 2: is that every Sunday night on this show, we will

930
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: release at least one of them. We always have at

931
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 2: least one early best bet. I'm about to show you

932
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 2: one in just a second for tonight. It's the first

933
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 2: one we've given out this year. But after that, anything's

934
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: in play. I put some of them out on Twitter

935
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 2: and Instagram at late Kick Josh. Some of them will

936
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: get released on one of the Tuesday or Thursday podcast

937
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: which are podcasts only. They don't get released on the channel.

938
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 2: The point is it is pivotal that you were following

939
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 2: on all platforms. I've been telling you this for two months.

940
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 2: This is one of the reasons you got to be

941
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: following on all those platforms. Remember a few things and

942
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: then I'm about to hand out the pick. Every bet

943
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: is equal. If I specify otherwise, then you'll know ninety

944
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 2: nine percent of the time, every pick we're handing out

945
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: is equal. If you do what I tell you, you

946
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 2: will make money on this. I can't promise you that,

947
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 2: but it's a virtual certainty. Bet them all equal, bet

948
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 2: all of them, or do not bet any of them.

949
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: That is also critical.

950
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 2: We are building this model to remove our own gut

951
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 2: from the equation, so you certainly need to remove your

952
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 2: gut from the equation. Only on this show, the pod,

953
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: and social media will.

954
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: This be released.

955
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: So if you watch the individual videos on YouTube, like

956
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: the one right now we're doing, Colin's not going to

957
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: clip this for individual release, So you got to be

958
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 2: listening to the entire pod or watching the entire show

959
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 2: and following Twitter, Instagram because it's more time sensitive. Also,

960
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 2: and this cannot be stressed enough, everyone watching this show

961
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 2: as an adult. We do it at night for a reason.

962
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 2: Everyone who can open a betting a cat as an adult.

963
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: It's made that way for a reason. There will be

964
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 2: zero tolerance for any kind of trash talking after the fact,

965
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: none You will get muted. You will get banned. I

966
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 2: will block you point blank. That is what children do.

967
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 2: No one's forcing you to do anything with your money

968
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: you don't want to do. In fact, I openly tell

969
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 2: you I don't advise you to bet just getting to

970
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 2: pick them league, But if you're going to be responsible

971
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 2: and understand.

972
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: This is your choice.

973
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I've gotten all the forty seven bullet

974
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: points out of the way. So with that in mind,

975
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,680
Speaker 2: let's take a look at where we're going week one.

976
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: How about that Jesse was really really up against it today.

977
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: He had to make all these graphics and he couldn't

978
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: even get in our own system. And so look at this.

979
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: We got the old Rama Noudle Express graphic. Every other

980
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: graphic on the show's.

981
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 1: Been updated, but we kept the old Rama Noodle Express graphic.

982
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 2: Where are we going? We're going with Cincinnati minus twenty three.

983
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: Get on it now. We hand out.

984
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 2: We hand out our early pick. For a reason, they're

985
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 2: playing Miami Ohio. We love them to stretch this past

986
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 2: four touchdowns. So we're taking Cincinnati minus twenty three. That's

987
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: the only one I have for you for tonight. Remember

988
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: we're probably going to have at least four more this week,

989
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 2: and then make sure you're tuning in and following all

990
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 2: over the place, because what I don't like is when

991
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: we've had a great week and then I hear from

992
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 2: somebody and they say, oh, man, I only call like

993
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: a couple of them. I didn't even see where you

994
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: released the other ones. I've told you where they are.

995
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,160
Speaker 2: I have told you. So it's I just want the

996
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: credit with none of the blame. That's all I've ever wanted.

997
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: I just want the credit with none of the blame.

998
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: So remember, I know this was kind of a kind

999
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: of a fragmented show tonight. It's not like our normal

1000
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: shows will be. But we had a lot to introduce,

1001
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 2: and we've got a lot still to introduce. There are

1002
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: still things coming within the next couple of weeks that

1003
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: we can't even talk about yet.

1004
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: But remember at late Kick, Josh.

1005
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 2: Now, the reason I'm emphasizing that so much tonight is

1006
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,160
Speaker 2: because there's something else that we're going to do, probably

1007
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: on Friday night, that I haven't even talked about yet.

1008
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now.

1009
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: Actually, so when I'm traveling on Fridays and I want

1010
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: your feedback on this, because I'm not going to waste

1011
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 2: time if you don't want us to do it. When

1012
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 2: I'm traveling on Fridays, get in a hotel normally Friday night,

1013
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm in some random city.

1014
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: You know me, I don'll go out and so there

1015
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: I am in.

1016
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 2: A hotel room and I've got the eye Josh here,

1017
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 2: and we've got these social accounts that we've grown. I

1018
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: do not talk deep gambling on this show because it

1019
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: does not hit enough of our audience. A lot of

1020
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 2: our audience doesn't bet at all. They're fascinated with points, spreads,

1021
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: but they don't.

1022
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 1: Bet at all.

1023
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 2: Some of you would really love to dive into Temple

1024
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: versus Rutgers. First half lines, this is not the platform

1025
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 2: for it, but on Friday night it could be.

1026
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: I got a great show title idea. I'll probably save

1027
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 1: it for later.

1028
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: What I can do is I can fire up Instagram

1029
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 2: live wherever I am, and we can just talk for

1030
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 2: as long as you want to. And I can tell

1031
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 2: you what our model says about some numbers on Friday night,

1032
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 2: very informal. I can guarantee the lighting is not going

1033
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: to be as good as it is here, may not

1034
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 2: be lighting at all. So it could be a little sketch,

1035
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 2: could be a little back alley field to it. But

1036
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: if you want to do that, you gotta let me know.

1037
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 2: You got to get some feedback and you got to

1038
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 2: be following of course at late Kick Josh. But if

1039
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: you want to do that, we can do that because

1040
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 2: I got nothing else to do on Friday night, so

1041
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 2: I can assure you a couple of more housekeeping notes.

1042
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: As is always the case, the week one schedule gets

1043
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,919
Speaker 2: thrown in a blender. The Thursday show because Ohio State

1044
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: plays that night, among others. We are planning to start

1045
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: that at six eastern five Central. Someone asked earlier today,

1046
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 2: what are you gonna do your show overlaps with the

1047
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 2: games Thursday night? So we're gonna move the show because

1048
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 2: it's the Internet and we can do whatever we want to.

1049
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 2: So we're gonna start the Thursday show six eastern five Central.

1050
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: The Sunday show we're probably also going to start at

1051
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: six eastern five Central.

1052
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 1: So that's just what is it, two hours early, one

1053
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: hour early.

1054
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: We got to get them out of the way because

1055
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 2: we got a Sunday night game.

1056
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,760
Speaker 1: So after this week everything will be back to normal.

1057
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: But Thursday night, Sunday night, we're gonna start the shows

1058
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: a little bit early, so I think I got everything

1059
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 2: I wanted to hit out of the way. Also want

1060
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 2: to send that in the live chat. If you're not following,

1061
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: just make sure you're following. It's going to be very

1062
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: important week to be following on social media.

1063
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: You never know what kind of announcement's coming. Very important.

1064
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: We can't give.

1065
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 2: You everything on the show because some stuff is time

1066
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: sensitive at late kick Josh, thank you so much. We

1067
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 2: are excited to be ready to dive into a season

1068
00:45:19,560 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: from this point forward.

1069
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: Don't miss the shows.

1070
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: Make sure you got your schedule timed out, whether it's

1071
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: your morning commute if you live in Fresno, California, or

1072
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 2: if you're driving home in O Calli, Florida. Just make

1073
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 2: sure you're catching the shows. And lastly, you're doing a great.

1074
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: Job of this.

1075
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 2: I just encourage you to continue share it all over

1076
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,360
Speaker 2: the place and tag me when you do.

1077
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: That helps us more than you could ever know. Simple marketing.

1078
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,399
Speaker 1: It helps us more than you can ever know. Thank

Speaker 1: you for being part of the show, and thank you

1080
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,200

00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 2: miracles happen.

Speaker 1: Jesse made miracles happen tonight. I'm Josh Bath. Thanks for watching.
