23
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: batch of Bowls Okay, we've got a part one a

24
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: part two. I resurrected an old sound that I'll save

25
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: for a little bit from now. We are going to

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: go through interesting things in each of these games, give

27
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: you enough information to feel dangerous. That type of thing

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: we put a lot into, I think trying to harvest

29
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: the interesting nuggets. If you will, ooh, nugget harvesters. I

30
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: like that, Yes, absolutely so, we're going to do that

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. We also have some news

32
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: that we did not have a chance to discuss on

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: any of our previous episodes. We will do that today

34
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,160

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: almost a working session between you and I. That's true.

42
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: This episode, we're going to figure out build up that bank. Yeah,

43
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna figure out what our answer bank looks like.

44
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: That's cool with you couldn't be happier to do it.

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: We should start though, with the news of kind of weird.

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: We've got a little bit of breaking news. Happened a

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: few days ago. Now Bill Belichick gonna be the next

48
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: coach at North Carolina. Great, can't miss next item.

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know how you actually want to do

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: this because we have coaching movement big, medium, small, we

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: have portal movement. Like I just saw people think Billy

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 2: Edwards might be the bridge quarterback to Bryce Underwood at Michigan.

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: Like there's just Jackson Arnold's visiting some SEC schools. Like

54
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: how do we actually want to go about are we

55
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: just going to do like save portal thoughts for We'll

56
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 2: grab Max Olsen in two three weeks when more dust

57
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: has settled, Like how intense do we want to have

58
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 2: this news segment?

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: Let's start with the coaching moves, because that's all always

60
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: moves the needle, and we do have some major breaking news.

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: I guess it's not breaking at this point. It sort

62
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 1: of broke the news from being honest. We could talk

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: about those and then, since I know we're both pretty

64
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: interested in the portal stuff, if there are any interesting names, rumors,

65
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: what have you that you have seen. If we want

66
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: to talk about those, we can do that sure, before

67
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: we get into the bulls. The big one, though, is

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick. Bill Belichick, after I guess a brief period

69
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: of foot seas with North Carolina, has decided that not

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: only does he want to coach them, but they want

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: him to coach in Chapel Hill as well. It was

72
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: a very kind of backwards news cycle, I think with

73
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: respect to Bill Belichick. Usually we're used to hearing about

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: a school is targeting, the school is fishing to try

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: and get the best targets. In this instance, the news

76
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: that actually broke first was that Bill Belichick had agreed

77
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: he had agreed to coach at North Carolina and we

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: were waiting to hear if they would accept his terms,

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: which is a new one for me. We've been doing

80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: this since eight In fact they did this, of course

81
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: set off an incredible shockwave around all of sports, not

82
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: just college but the NFL. He had tried last season

83
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: to try to get an NFL job, didn't work. He

84
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: is now going to be in the college ranks for

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: some period of time. Maybe we can discuss that. He's

86
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: sort of notably mentioned on the Pat McAfee show. What

87
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: his vision is for a college program, it amounts to

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: an NFL pipeline. He wasn't talking a whole lot about

89
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: championships in the interview that I saw, was talking a

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: lot about how he wants to structure this after a

91
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: pro program. He wants it to be an NFL pipeline.

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: Hints light notes of what Herm Edwards said back in

93
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: the day before the Arizona State thing. I'm not equating

94
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: the two, but it's not that as well. I know,

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: just because you and I have talked about this that

96
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: we sort of differ on this hire and whether or

97
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: not it's a good thing, but talked about it at

98
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: length on our bonus episode that's out on Patreon averbowlers

99
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: dot com. Right now, can you summarize that for the

100
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: for bowler hood here.

101
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: I have a lot of doubts and even after we

102
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: finished recording that Patreon episode where we talked about rich

103
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 2: Rod and Bill Belichick accepting head coaching jobs at a

104
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: not surprising places, I guess in terms of rich Rod

105
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: and Bill Belichick's I think Dad played and went to

106
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: North Carolina, so there was some connective tissue there. But

107
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: I saw that the buyout drops to a million dollars

108
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: after June something, twenty twenty five. Right, Yes, it drops

109
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: from ten million to one million dollars. And so it

110
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: could be looked at as a one year bridge to

111
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: his son. It could be looked at as like, hey,

112
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: let me give myself the option, but I'm planning on

113
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: being here for as long as they'll have me type thing.

114
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: It seems that the NFL, in some front office circles,

115
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: have soured on the idea of Bill Belichick at seventy one,

116
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: seventy two years old moving forward as their head coach.

117
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: He interviewed with I think the Falcons and they went

118
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 2: with Raheem Morris. And so maybe he's grown sour on

119
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: where the NFL is. Perhaps they've grown it's a mutual

120
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: souring tie. Yeah, but this opportunity came up. He had interest.

121
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: He has a vision, which you mentioned. Apparently the four

122
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: hundred page Bible manifesto thing sounds like it's not true

123
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: according to Bill Belichick.

124
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: That makes me sad. I want that to be true.

125
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: I know, love, a good love, a good manifesto and

126
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: not a problematic manifesto alas always. Yeah, so my thought

127
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: is that it is going to be extraordinarily challenging for

128
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: an outsider, no matter his legendary status in the NFL,

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: to come in and shift from being a coach to

130
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: a person who has to oversee students, right to oversee

131
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: nineteen year olds, who has to golf with donors, who

132
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: has to deal with kids floating their names into the

133
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: portal because they're unhappy with playing time. And you know,

134
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: perhaps things are going to change in the next couple

135
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: of years in terms of how this sport is administered

136
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: and how rosters are administered, and revenue sharing obviously becomes

137
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: a thing, and roster size becomes a thing. But at

138
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: their core, you can say, you're gonna run it like

139
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: an NFL organization, You're gonna structure, You're going to bring

140
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: in Mike Lombardi from now Vsen Yeah, so that's where

141
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: he was to run your college program front office. But

142
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: at their court, these are teachers. These are teachers teaching

143
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: dbs how to roll into coverage, teaching linebackers how to

144
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 2: diagnose the outside zone. Whereas in the NFL you are

145
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: coaching more than your teaching. You are saying, this is

146
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 2: what our game plan is, this is what they're doing,

147
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: and it's a different job, it's a different gig, and

148
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: at seventy two, do you have the patients to not

149
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 2: necessarily learn on the job, As a weird way of

150
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 2: putting it, for somebody who's had as much success as

151
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: he's had, but he's in a different stage of his

152
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: coaching life and to sort of build up the patience

153
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: muscle that's not patients TSCEE that you know having patients

154
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: with you know, a transfer coming in from Tulane, a

155
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: transfer coming in from Grambling, a transfer coming in from

156
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: cal at the same time, recruiting at the same time

157
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: figuring out your plan for the twenty twenty seven class,

158
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty eight class. He might be shielding himself

159
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: from a lot of those granular decisions and offloading it

160
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: to front office types or assistants or his son whatever.

161
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: But it's very difficult to see when ideally, any program

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: hiring new coach is saying we're bringing in this person

163
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: with a vision and energy and that if all works out,

164
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: we are five six years down the road of them

165
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: building this program into something special, and maybe we lose

166
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,239
Speaker 2: them if we're a program the size of North Carolina,

167
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: or maybe we sign them to a lifetime deal, or

168
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: maybe it goes up in years three and four, then

169
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: down in five and six with no end insight to that,

170
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: and we move on. But it's hard to see any

171
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: of that fitting in with Bill bella check that like,

172
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 2: maybe he's there for a year to get things right,

173
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: two years to get things right, he's there as his

174
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: retirement for seven years until he's again. My math is

175
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 2: not my strong so it's seventy nine. It's just it's

176
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: hard to see the exact path to success for me,

177
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: inasmuch as you can see why it could work, But

178
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 2: I also don't see the little the boxes being checked

179
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 2: everywhere with somebody with this little experience on this level.

180
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: If any I am all in on this move, I

181
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: know you are. I am all in. I think it's

182
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: a splash hire I think there is also a high

183
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: probability of failure, but I don't think that should stop

184
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: anybody from trying. It shouldn't have stopped North Carolina from trying. Now,

185
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: the one caveat I have is they are obviously making

186
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: some concessions here. One thing that was not refuted is

187
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: that Steve Belichick is basically the coach at waiting. Okay,

188
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: this could prove to be a very bad deal for

189
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: that university. But as I said to you when we

190
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: did our bonus episode yesterday, as part of this, as

191
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: part of them agreeing to his terms, they are upping

192
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: the spend significantly on the football side. And though that

193
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: can go away at some point in the future under

194
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: a different coach, I just feel like in the big

195
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: money era of college football, where everybody's trying to get

196
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more money and get a little bit

197
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: better and a little bit more notoriety, and now with

198
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: the rise of like revenue sharing and like you have

199
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: to put money into this machine to make it truly

200
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: profitable for you, I don't see them easily going back

201
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: on that commitment at some point in the future. Not

202
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 1: to say they can't, and it certainly has happened elsewhere,

203
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: But once you get a university like North Carolina to

204
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: commit full bore to going in on football the way

205
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: they are with Bill Belichick, at a minimum, I think

206
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: that outlives the Belichick era, and I don't think that's

207
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: a bad thing just from a football standpoint. There's a

208
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: whole ethical conversation around how much you should be spending

209
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: on football. I'm not going there, but in terms of

210
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: football and providing the resources, presumably they have made that

211
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: commitment to do just that here. Okay, so he doesn't

212
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: really have many excuses. He has presumably everything he needs

213
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: in order to make this work. The second thing I

214
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: would add, and this is kind of the I guess

215
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: sticking point for me. I don't know how this vision

216
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: and this quote unquote NFL pipeline he wants to set

217
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: up compares to other such programs around the country. How

218
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: does it compare to Georgia or Ohio State or Texas?

219
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: There's some of these other what amount of football factories Alabama? Right,

220
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's not the only one with this idea. There

221
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: are other schools around the country who have done a

222
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: pretty good job of it. How unique is this going

223
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: to be? Somebody could do the reporting on that. I

224
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: don't know. And furthermore, how long does it take to

225
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 1: spin that up? You know, like he's got the one

226
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: year buyout. I think you said twenty twenty five. I

227
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: think what you mean is twenty twenty six, right, just

228
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: one see the twenty twenty five season. After that, I

229
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: saw twenty twenty five, Like, okay, okay, well that would

230
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: be as I saw wrong, that would be about either way.

231
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 1: Either way it regardless of a twenty twenty five or

232
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. The point holds that there's an out

233
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: for him if he decides he wants to go back

234
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: to the NFL and try to win that games record. Okay,

235
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: So I don't know if he's going to be able

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: to spin it up that quickly. You're talking about a

237
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 1: lot of new people coming in with different ideas, turning

238
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: this program upside down into something it's never been before.

239
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: My hunch is that you can't just snap your fingers

240
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: and make that so okay. So that's what I am

241
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: watching first and foremost. But I think aside of all

242
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: of that, there is real marketing, real recruiting value if

243
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: you are putting the greatest NFL coach of all time

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: in charge of your program. Because which kid coming out

245
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: of high school, which quarterback doesn't want to be Tom

246
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: Brady right now? As somebody pointed out to us online,

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's a very valid point. This stint

248
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: for Belichick may be the best way to measure up

249
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: whether it was him or whether it was Brady responsible

250
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: for all that success in New England. I think that's

251
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: a great point that I haven't heard mentioned a whole

252
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of places.

253
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's a commonly held take.

254
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: Oh, no, it is. Yeah, I don't even know if

255
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: it's a take. Okay, Brady won when he went elsewhere,

256
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: But I'm curious to see how much pull that has

257
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: with the recruits the youth of America in the Year

258
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: of Our Lord twenty twenty four and beyond, because it

259
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 1: seems to me like that would be a pretty effective

260
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: marketing pitch if he's able to get talent in there.

261
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: I have no doubts that he'll be able to coach,

262
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: he'll be able to win games, because I think he

263
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing, and I think we'll surround himself

264
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: with people who know what they're doing. For me, it's

265
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: more a question of how long is it going to

266
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: take to boot up this operation, and will it take

267
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: so long that it's going to be the kid running

268
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: it and not Bill.

269
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: And maybe maybe Bill transitions to like an advisor, consultant

270
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 2: something like that, and so he's not gone after two

271
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: three years or whatever. Right.

272
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: The part that skees me out a little bit is

273
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: that this is a Steve Belichick Trojan horse of course,

274
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: just to sneak the kid in through the bat I say,

275
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: the kid right, just to sneak his son in through

276
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: the back door to get him a coaching gig. And

277
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's just cool with that. It's not generally

278
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: the best way to get your job, whether in coaching

279
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: or elsewhere. That part, to me is a little bit weird.

280
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: But I think just on the surface, putting a guy

281
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: with such name brand authority in the football world in

282
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: charge of your program, I kind of think that's a

283
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: good idea. We saw he's not Dion. I know he's

284
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: not Deon. I don't want to equate the two, but

285
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: there's at least enough similarity there to prove that this

286
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: can be successful on some level.

287
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: Did you see clips of Tom Brady and Gronk and

288
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: Julian Edelman laughing at the aspect of Bill Belichick.

289
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: They all said unequivocally, no, can you see him coaching

290
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: in college? No, no, no.

291
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 2: The players who spent the most time around him are like,

292
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: not a fit for that sport.

293
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: And Brady had a great quote too, you know, can

294
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: you see him in someone's living room saying, well, we

295
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: don't really want you, but I guess you could come

296
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: and if you're good enough, we'll play. It's not amazing.

297
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: It's not an amazing, no way, in from the players

298
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: who spent so much time around him. And here's the

299
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: other thing you talk about, and I think you're right

300
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: about this. You talk about the ability as a recruiter

301
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: to say, you know, look what I've done in this

302
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: sport and you can come play for me and learn

303
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: under me and my staff. First of all, the staff

304
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: has not been an incredible performing staff throughout the years.

305
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 2: It's you know, largely been an eye for specific talent,

306
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: obviously Tom Brady being the quarterback that he was. I

307
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 2: don't care who you are if you're hiring a coach

308
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: that's seventy two. And let me be clear, I love

309
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 2: early generations. Okay, let's be absolutely clear. This is not

310
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: an agist comment or it's not agist intent. But if

311
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: anybody hires a coach in their early seventies, mid seventies,

312
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of years into the tenure, that's

313
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: the easiest way to recruit against a school. Yeah, how

314
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 2: long is this guy going to be coaching?

315
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: Right?

316
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: How long is this guy going to be run? You're

317
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 2: committing to him. Now it's a different world because everybody

318
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: is very quick to enter the transfer portal. And that's fine,

319
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: But I think one of the big selling points of

320
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: a lot of these places is security of like Dan

321
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: Lanning putting out the video, how long Kirby's been there,

322
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: how long Dabo's been at Clemson, how long James Franklin

323
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 2: and now Ryan Day have been at their respective places.

324
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: And Ryan Day hasn't been around too long. But in

325
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: the world of you know where college football is now,

326
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: he's an old, tenured coach. So to say to hire

327
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: somebody at that age and to fire mac Brown for

328
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: being that age not the reason why if you were

329
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: winning at that age, but to say, like, there was

330
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: uncertainty about mac Brown's future in retirement at seventy three,

331
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: and now you hire a seventy two year old, and like,

332
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 2: where's it gonna be in two years? Right when he's

333
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 2: seventy four, which is not particularly young for being a

334
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 2: major college football.

335
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: Code it is. It is a very big swing from

336
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: unc reportedly a very big commitment that the board had

337
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: to agree to. We will see if it works. I

338
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: remain optimistic. I'm also the same guy who is a

339
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: little bit more optimistic about the Dion project when we

340
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: talked about it back back in the summertime, just as

341
00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: like a proof of concept, like if this works, If

342
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: this works, and it did work this year, I don't

343
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 1: know what about it's gonna happen next year, but well

344
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: that's time.

345
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: We don't know what's gonna happen next year with anybody, but.

346
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: Now it's happened next year. But if it works, it's

347
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: It's an interesting way to go about roster construction. And

348
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: I think a guy like a Kurtzignetti when a step

349
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: further with it. They're eleven to one in the playoffs.

350
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: It is a brand new team. It is Indiana in

351
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: logo only. As you have said before, Yes, you can

352
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: boot things up much quicker in this day and age.

353
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: And so let's see what he can do. Kurt Signetty

354
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: brought players with He brought players with the we're not

355
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: bringing like Julian Edelman.

356
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: Dan Sanders brought a likely top ten draft quarterback at

357
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: and heismansability situation at corner and receiver. Bill Belichick can't

358
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: bring Tom Brady, you can't.

359
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: We need to see if he can trade on that

360
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: reputation again just as he did here to strong arm

361
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina into upping its commitment to paying him ten

362
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: million dollars. Can can that reputation sway some recruits, sway

363
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: some transfers. They don't have a whole lot of time

364
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: to get this thing up and running. The transfer portals

365
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: open right now, right, and there are guys, so I'm

366
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: sure will be interested in hearing more about what North

367
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: Carolina's got planned playing for Bill Belichick. They're going to

368
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: need to rely on some transfers in order to do that,

369
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: so we'll see what they can do. I don't know

370
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: why don't we talk about very quickly some of the

371
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: other ones here Place, Place place, because we didn't have

372
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: a whole lot of an opportunity to talk about the

373
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 1: rich Rod hire which dropped at the same time as

374
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: the Belichick hire, that Scott Frost hire which happened before

375
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: both of them, and the Dan Mullen hire. So Rich

376
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: Rod going back to West Virginia, Scott Frost going back

377
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: to UCF two retreads in that sense, and Dan Mullen

378
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: getting back in the college game taking over for Barrio

379
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:25,679
Speaker 1: to me at UNLV.

380
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 2: Just the erasure of Casey Keeler going to Temple, by

381
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: the way.

382
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: I brought that up. Actually, as we get into our

383
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: bowles here, because Sam Houston is one of the games

384
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about. Totally good. Okay, what are

385
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: your opinions. I had heard that the rich Rod hire

386
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 1: was mostly to energize boosters, and I don't not nothing,

387
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: not nothing. I don't necessarily think that's the worst idea.

388
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: I also think to the point that you have been

389
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 1: making about Belichick and like others that have been rumored,

390
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he's been a successful college

391
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: coach is is a good thing. Rich Rod's never really

392
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: been out of the game. He didn't leave on great

393
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: terms with West Virginia, so that's kind of its own

394
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 1: deal altogether. Nor Michigan or Arizona. Yeah, yeah, there's the

395
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,880
Speaker 1: there's that whole side of it that he's gonna need

396
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: to find a way to heal up. But I don't

397
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: mind the higher I probably would have preferred sort of

398
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: a newer name in that neck of the woods, but

399
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: at least it's somebody that if the boosters can get

400
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: comfortable with him, and if he's able to assemble twent like,

401
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: it's not going to be the Pat White era. Again,

402
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: college football is not going to be a Big East era. No.

403
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: College football's changed a great deal since he was there

404
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: the last time, and generally I'm kind of leary on retreads.

405
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: So that being what it is, if it will energize

406
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: the base, that's okay. I like the mull and higher

407
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: I like Dan Mullen getting back in on it. I

408
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: think with the way that college football is structured, and

409
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: you've probably heard me say a thousand times, but there's

410
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: real value in being a genuinely good G five team,

411
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: especially in this day and age, and especially in a

412
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: year like we just saw, Like there were conversations you

413
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: and I had week eleven where it was unclear it

414
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: was unclear that there would just be one G five team.

415
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: We were talking two lane maybe could find a way

416
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: to sneak in and knock somebody else out. I mean

417
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: that these are real things that are possibilities, I think

418
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: in this day and age, especially in a year like

419
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: this where there was so much or more parody that

420
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: we're accustomed to. So Dan Mullen, I think he's got

421
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: an interesting quarterback provided there isn't a transfer who could

422
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: run the Mullen system in Hodgemen League Williams. Oh, my god,

423
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: huge winner. Yeah, I like that. I think codde leagu

424
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: Williams is a huge winner in all this. He should

425
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: stay put. The Scott Frost hire, I have no idea

426
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: what to expect there. It went so poorly at Nebraska

427
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: that I'm inclined to say that I don't like this

428
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 1: hire at UCF, even if he's a familiar name there

429
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: who won the quote unquote and it's been out of

430
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: the sport a couple of years. Yeah, yeah, reputation not

431
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: great behind this scenes. Yeah, no, So I think generally

432
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: speaking that's for amount of those three.

433
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: The Dan Mullen hire is super interesting now. He also

434
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: was somebody who talked about getting you know, financial commitments

435
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: behind the scenes given you know where the sport is

436
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: right now, which is very reasonable and obviously, given where

437
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: UNLV was with the Matt s Luca situation, wanted clarity

438
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 2: on how NIL would be run and get everybody on

439
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: the same page there. UNLV is also in a unique position,

440
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 2: not unlike where UCF Houston Cincinnati BYU, where as this

441
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: sport consolidates and being in a place like Las Vegas,

442
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: yep U and LV turned down the PAC twelve whatever,

443
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: the fake Pac twelve, that's reconstituting itself, right, sure call it,

444
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: call it names mean something, but I guess just call

445
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: it whatever you want. They're really well positioned geographically in

446
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 2: Vega as a growing major sports town with you know,

447
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 2: the Raiders and the Nights all in a cool stadium, right,

448
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: they play in a cool stadium that you know was

449
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: talked about as hosting more major college games. They're like,

450
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me that Dan Mullen also had a

451
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: conversation with UNLV Brass that centered around like, you know,

452
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: we're having like these early conversations, like maybe the Big

453
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: twelve will come around in a couple of years, three

454
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: or four years, something like that as the sport you know,

455
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: consolidates even more. I U and l VISA can be

456
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: a pretty good job, as Barry Odom showed on the

457
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 2: verge of winning a pretty significantly talented conference in the

458
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 2: Mountain West. So like, I think it's good. The only

459
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: thing with Dan Mullen is he's always peeking around for

460
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: the next job.

461
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: Peeking around and recruiting was a big time issue towards

462
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: the end of his stay at Florida, and you know,

463
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: being a G five school. That's just a challenge I

464
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: think they all have to deal with.

465
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: But he he's in a nice position where at UNLV

466
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 2: you can look around the West Coast schools and if

467
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: they win a little bit, the Dan Mullen reputation is

468
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 2: such where you're like, yeah, we'll take this UCLA quarterback,

469
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: We'll take this Oregon backup quarterback, We'll take this Washington

470
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: backup quarterback. Or like, UNLV is an attractive enough place

471
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 2: geographically and with what they've done recently on the field

472
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: that you're just like, oh, that's in a good enough

473
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 2: place to pick off a bunch of transfers, maybe buy

474
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: low types and run a largely successfully proven offensive system,

475
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 2: and they'll have a fun identity in a conference that

476
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: is gettable.

477
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: Now, he could be there for two.

478
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: Years, like Barry otom and then just take you know,

479
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 2: an Arkansas or something like that.

480
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: Well we'll see. I think he's got an interesting pool

481
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: of talent to work with. I don't hate the hire. Okay,

482
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: any interesting transfers that you have seen, anyone's to jump

483
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: off the page to you.

484
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 2: Darien Mensa to Duke, I think is fascinating. I don't

485
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: know the exact Thomas Castellanos. Is that official Florida State

486
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 2: Florida State. Yeah, I mean the quarterback portal is probably

487
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: the most interesting, just because of what an immediate impact

488
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: can look like. Fernando Mendoza is going to be interesting.

489
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: I think I saw his name pop up with like

490
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: schools like Georgia.

491
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: I saw Georgia.

492
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so bigger type programs look at Fernando Mendoza as

493
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: a not a by low, but a quarterback who perhaps

494
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: wasn't surrounded with the most talent at cal and that

495
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: you could you could project interesting things for him. There's

496
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: like a Jackson Arnold story with you know, Mississippi State

497
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: and Jeff Levy or Auburn. There's a lot of Auburn's

498
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: being very active, Syracuse is being very active. So yeah,

499
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: quarterback is the most interesting. I mentioned the Billy Edwards

500
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: thing with Michigan as they look to find a bridge

501
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 2: quarterback between Davis Warren and Bryce Underwood potentially by the

502
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 2: end of next year. Like DJ Lagway came in in

503
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 2: the middle, So Billy Edwards I think would be another

504
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: not by low, but by medium. Because the line at

505
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: Maryland was pretty bad, the running game was pretty bad,

506
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 2: and so you the best of Billy Edwards was interesting

507
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: with good receivers. Obviously, ty Felton went over a thousand yards.

508
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 2: So who else, I say, Zach Pyron to Minnesota, Zack

509
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: Pirate of Minnesota. He's going to be presumably a backup.

510
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: I'll talk about that when we right built some depth.

511
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: Go through our our.

512
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,959
Speaker 1: Our games here and get the Georgia Tech Connor Wigman

513
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: going to Houston.

514
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 2: I think that's that's an interesting fit they needed. They

515
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: needed all the help they can get on offense, fresh start,

516
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: but in the same obviously specific geographic area.

517
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: YEP. I guess a little bit of clarity on who's

518
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: going to be playing quarterback for Utah this year? We

519
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 1: see that, is it? Devin Dampier decided New Mexico from

520
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: New Mexico up to Utah after a bunch of the

521
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: Utah guys transferred out.

522
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: Wisconsin's down to everybody on TVD Brandon Locke and.

523
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: I think it's is Cole LaRue would be the third

524
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: sent the name that I'm very interested in amid all

525
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: of this, and it should not is any great surprise.

526
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: He just entered the portal, I guess on Wednesday night,

527
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: HM Michael Van Buren in the portal from Misssippi CBB. Yeah,

528
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: they decided that they were going to take a transfer

529
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: and as such it's going to be MVB looking elsewhere.

530
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: I think he's got a lot of promise. I'm interested

531
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: to see where he ends up. He could play a

532
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: really big role in some interesting systems.

533
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 2: Saw Chip lindsay to Michigan it's a new offense, new coordinator.

534
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

535
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was decent at North Carolina, but not incredible.

536
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: I think they peaked it around in the twenties in

537
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: terms of points per drive. Yeah. Yeah, the coordinator movement

538
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: will be fascinating. Quarterback movement will be fascinating. I saw

539
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: Nebraska got the big edge rusher from Miszoo. Yeah, he's

540
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 2: the five star. We shall see. Receiver is going to

541
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,120
Speaker 2: be usually the deepest because everybody wants more targets. Everybody

542
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 2: wants a little bit more thrown their way. So we'll

543
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 2: see on that front. But yeah, lot of active teams

544
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 2: in the SEC right now, and it's going to be

545
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 2: super fascinating to see with playoff teams post playoff losses

546
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: or with right that's portal entries and.

547
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: Rumors about too. Yeah, Queen yours rumors running am up

548
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 1: that Quinn viewers maybe has an offer on the table.

549
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: It was from quote unquote some big ten team to

550
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: transfer out and stay another year. Can take guesses as

551
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 1: to who that is if you look at the standings.

552
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's not going to the NFL, I

553
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna sit Arch three years. So we'ds

554
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: either Arch starting or leaving. Yeah, Texas, Yeah.

555
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: We'll see. I don't know. I don't think it would

556
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: be a bad move for him to come back. I

557
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: also don't think he will.

558
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: Miami's looking for a quarterback, Indiana's looking for a quarterback.

559
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 2: Colorado's looking for a quarterback. Presumably a lot of big teams,

560
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 2: a lot of.

561
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: A and M. Maybe not they got Jacob Zeno.

562
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: Baby, I think A and M will be looking for

563
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 2: a quarterback still.

564
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: Jacobs, you know, Oh my gosh. All right, more to

565
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: come on this front. We will do our best to

566
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: keep you up to speed on all of this action.

567
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: The main thing that we are doing here, though, I

568
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 1: must say, we're previeum bulls Dan. The bulge with the

569
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: Bulls is here. Do you remember the bull Barge series

570
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: we did about four years ago. I was still in Brooklyn.

571
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: So yes, yeah, we did the bull Barge. We broke

572
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: it up into four's. It was a different day and age,

573
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: different world altogether. To me, bull season, though, is like

574
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: the white whale of prognostication. It's obviously always been very

575
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: difficult to predict postseason exhibition games, which is what the

576
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: amount to. But now with all the transfer, portal movement

577
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: and all the other distractions opt outs, I mean, it's

578
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: kind of impossible. So this is a so much a

579
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: prediction show today. Hopefully we're just looking to give you

580
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: some nuggets that will make you care or if you

581
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: are in some sort of bullpool, make you a little

582
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: bit more informed. So my advice on that front, because

583
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: I do this every year. We're not doing the confidence pool,

584
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: but if you are doing one, my advice is load

585
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: up on your points early. That's the East Coast Elliott

586
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: rule that I have spoken into this microphone more times

587
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: than I can remember. Yeah, my heart and fast rule

588
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: is if the team lost its coach or a couple

589
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: key contributors, either to the portal or opt outs, whatever,

590
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: pick the opponent.

591
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 2: So pick all of the opponents in all of the games,

592
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: because everybody's losing coaches and portal guys. Yeah, except Ohio,

593
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 2: except for I lost the coach, but no portal guys.

594
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: I'll talk that through. Yeah. And then the final thing,

595
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: And it's the most relevant I think when it comes

596
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: to bull season, trying to figure out what the hell

597
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: is going to happen. Try to pick the team that

598
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: wants it more, whatever that means, whatever that means. This

599
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: team this part of the season is less about the

600
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: team that you think is better, and it's much more

601
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: about the team that just cares more because of all

602
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: those distractions. So, uh, this is not me saying to

603
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: try and like play amateur psychologists or anything like that,

604
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: but I kind of try to play amateur psychologists and

605
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: figure out which team I think gives a damn that.

606
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: We have seen more than a few occasions where a

607
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: team goes into a bowl game and it's just they're

608
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: there for the field trip. It's one, two, three, kik.

609
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: It's not a good showing, right. So that's where I'm

610
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: at with this.

611
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: Do you remember my rule, my one golden rule in

612
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 2: picking ball games. It's been a year, you've gotten older.

613
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: I feel like it jotted it down somewhere in my

614
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 1: notes here and I already forgot it.

615
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: My one central rule pick against the.

616
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,479
Speaker 1: Mac, pick against the Mac. That's right, I do have

617
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: that pick against the Mac.

618
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 2: I guess I said that before because I was just like,

619
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: the Mac is just constantly losing these games. They were

620
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: pretty good last year, but in the Portal era, all

621
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: of these Mac rosters and it's not something I liked,

622
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: but they're being.

623
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: Stripped Bear pick clean man.

624
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: And so if you're asked, like all than Ohio, which

625
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 2: you mentioned, you have as well, uh oh I lost

626
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: their coach finished the season, super strong won the MAC.

627
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: We'll see what that means in bowl season.

628
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: If you're a big Parker Navarro.

629
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 2: Parker Nabarro, yes, yeah, yeah, if you're a Parkingabarrow guy

630
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 2: or gal.

631
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: But big against the Mac, big against the Mac. Okay, yeah,

632
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: timeless words here, We're going to start with the Scooters

633
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: Frisco Bowl. We're going to run all the way through

634
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: on this episode. Let's do it up until the twenty

635
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: seventh of December, which is the Friday game, the Las

636
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Vegas Bowl. Dan. As we go through here, I will

637
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: tell you when we get to the point where we

638
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: need to start identifying items for our bulbingo answer bank. Yes, okay,

639
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: this is where the collaborative part comes into this episode.

640
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: I want to talk through just some zags that we

641
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: can include as part of our answer bank. These are

642
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: things that you can pick as you're going to playbowlbeingo

643
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: dot com, signing up for our Patreon for free, and

644
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: getting your name in the hat. These are items that

645
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: you can pick. You get like a choice of six

646
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: things that you think are gonna happen. Okay, yes, things

647
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: that you think are going to happen over the span

648
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: of time that our first week's game runs, and then

649
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: afterwards we do it all over again we started.

650
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 2: These are not abstract items, no, these are definitive items.

651
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: So definitive items. These are point spreads, These are player props.

652
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 1: And then these are things like will there be a

653
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: successful fake punt? Right?

654
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 2: I mean it could be it could be abstract, but

655
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: it has to be definitive, like will there be a

656
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: lightning delay?

657
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: That's a yes or no? That's right? Will there be

658
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: a hell Mary winning play that's right? Yes or no? Right?

659
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 2: It is not necessarily a fantasy. Things like no, will

660
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 2: a male and female pop tart consummate their love at

661
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: midfield and produce baby pop tarts on the fly. I

662
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 2: guess that would be definitive, right. If that either happens

663
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: or doesn't.

664
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: We can have a fun pop tards bowl prop. I

665
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: don't I don't want that one, but okay, suffice it anyway.

666
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I will let you know when the time has come. Okay,

667
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: let's get a few under our belt first. Here done

668
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: before we get into things. The other thing I must confess,

669
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: and this is only because I did this at about

670
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: five in the morning, going through and looking at these

671
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,359
Speaker 1: seventeen games, I have identified a new fascination, a new

672
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: kink for me with respect to Bowl season. No kink

673
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: shaming here. Okay, Uh, you know how there's like an

674
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: official UNI Watch guy who just grades all of the

675
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: new uniforms across all the sports.

676
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: I mean, the uni Watch blog is legendary.

677
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: It's an institution. Yeah. I may want I may want, Yeah,

678
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,959
Speaker 1: Paul Lucas, I may want to become the trophy guy. Hmmm.

679
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: I like this. I kind of want to be the

680
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: guy that grades all the trophies?

681
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: Are there some odd balls?

682
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: I have gone through so in exhaustive detail. I spent

683
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: an inordinate amount of time this morning at five point

684
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: thirty I have thoughts on all seventeen of the trophies

685
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 1: that are in the bowl games that we're discussing today.

686
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,319
Speaker 2: Do you know what my you know what nibbles on

687
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: my ear during ball season? Awkward CMO commercials of the sponsor,

688
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm Stephanie Johansson here on behalf of the

689
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: Idaho Potato Commissions.

690
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: Stuff, the stuff that they throw into you because you're

691
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: a sponsor. Yes, you get like thirty five seconds of airtime.

692
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: Use it however you want that type of thing. As

693
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: proud as we are of the young men competing in

694
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: this bowl game, we're even more proud of the starchy

695
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 1: goodness that comes out of the state of Idaho each

696
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: and every year, filling our hearts and stomachs. Oh I

697
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: love it all.

698
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: I love that awkward thirty second Like, hey, everybody, we're

699
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,480
Speaker 2: so proud to be involved in the Oh yeah, Scooters

700
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 2: Frisco Bowl.

701
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: Let's see if we can rip through these in thirty

702
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: five I have forty minutes, all right, seconds continue seconds. Tuesday,

703
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: nine pm, December the seventeenth. They call it the Scooters

704
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: Coffee Frisco Bowl. It is between Memphis at ten and

705
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: two it is West Virginia at six and six, Dan,

706
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: West Virginia fire Neil Brown, their offensive coordinator is going

707
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 1: to be the interim for the most part. On the

708
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: Memphis side, looks like a full boat. We might have

709
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: an opt out from Mario Anderson, the running back. He

710
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: potentially could opt out, which would obviously be a hit

711
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: to the offense. But I would say in terms of watchability,

712
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: both teams are giving up a ton of big plays

713
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: this season. On paper, this is a matchup that looks

714
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: to me to favor Memphis because they like to throw

715
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: and West Virginia doesn't really like to stop it. So

716
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: I think, Eileen Memphis here.

717
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 2: Dan, Yeah, I'm leaving Memphis as well West Virginia And

718
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 2: even like West Virginia fans like, you're you're not super

719
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: hyped about this game. You're hyped about rich Rod coming back?

720
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Are you you hyped about Scooters coffee?

721
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 2: Though?

722
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with Scooters cough? I had to look

723
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: it up.

724
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: There's apparently some locations near me. Big on the like

725
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 2: we created coffee out of a cookie. I'm like, what

726
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 2: can we just get a.

727
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Cup of cough? No?

728
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: Okay, it doesn't look appetizing to me, but I should

729
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 2: try it before making any sort of concrete statement you.

730
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: Don't like to drink your cookies.

731
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: It was just a lot of like, hey, we threw

732
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 2: a bunch of sprinkles around, like why why are you

733
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: doing this? Just serve really good coffee. That's great by me.

734
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: So no, I've never been to a Scooters coffee, but again,

735
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 2: I'll try it before forming my final opinion. Frisco Bowl

736
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: in Frisco, Texas. I'm going Memphis. I like Memphis more.

737
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 2: This is the Swan song I believe with Seth Henigan.

738
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah.

739
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: And we'll see on West Virginia and they's still play.

740
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 2: When West Virginia can run the ball, they become kind

741
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: of fun and interesting.

742
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: I can I tell you something interesting I found about

743
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: West Virginia because I was going through and I was

744
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: doing like the post warnem on some of these teams,

745
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 1: my preseason notes. I went back and like, I've just

746
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: been comparing where some of these teams finished and checking

747
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: to see how far off I've been. Yeah. One of

748
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the notes that I mentioned in the preseason about West

749
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 1: Virginia was how last season their defense, though not horrible,

750
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: was pretty bad on first and second down, and there

751
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: was a seventy percent rate of an opposing team getting

752
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: a first down on first and second down, which means

753
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,919
Speaker 1: that the defense wasn't good enough to get to third

754
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 1: down like thirty percent of the time, which is pretty bad. Again,

755
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: and now they were able to kind of navigate that

756
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: get Neil Brown, like, you know, a temporary boost. But

757
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: my note was they need to improve upon that. This season,

758
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: West Virginia gave up a first down on first or

759
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: second down seventy point three percent of the time, which

760
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: is comically high and almost identical to last season. It

761
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: did not get better.

762
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 2: This is also the worst blitzing team in America. Yes,

763
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 2: they don't blitz often, but when they do, it goes

764
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 2: super wrong.

765
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: From West Virginia oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm with you.

766
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,399
Speaker 1: On Memphis, it's a veteran team. Their offense was let

767
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 1: down by their defense this season. I had hoped that

768
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: it would be different, but it wasn't. Still a very

769
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: very good team, they're ten and two. The trophy situation

770
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: for this game is an abomination. Oh no, what are

771
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: they doing? It's an abomination. There are a handful of

772
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: games here in this crop in this first batch that

773
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: are in effect the Lombardi Trophy with a different shaped pedestal. Okay,

774
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: everybody's seen it. Everybody. If you've ever looked into buying

775
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: a fantasy football trophy for your league, it's the football

776
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: a top some form of a pedestal. It's either gold

777
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 1: or silver or some cheap knockoff. It's just painted that color, yes,

778
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: and then there's a pedestal underneath it, and in this

779
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: case there's a Scooter's plaque. Try harder. You're making coffee

780
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: out of cookies, you can make a better trophy than this. Well,

781
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: you could just have a golden coffee mug or something

782
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: like that. Full stop, full stop. This is going to

783
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: be a recurring theme. Don't get me going now. I'm

784
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: going to get worked up later. Okay. I'm just saying, Scooters,

785
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: if you're paying all this money for this game, you

786
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 1: need a better trophy.

787
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: I agree, or an outline of the state of Texas,

788
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 2: something that is specific to this.

789
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: Game, not even that it just okay, moving on anything. Wednesday,

790
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 1: December the eighteenth, five point thirty. It's the Boca Ratone Bowl,

791
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky eight and five. James Madison eight and four, Dan,

792
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: what do you got for me?

793
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: James Madison very fun running team, good defense, Western Kentucky

794
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: weird team. Yeah, very weird team this year they are.

795
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: TJ.

796
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: Finley got hurt early on, but the offense still wasn't great.

797
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 2: I think I like James Madison here. I think I

798
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 2: like the upside of what they can do offensive. I mean, look,

799
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: they it was running in defense is what got James

800
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: Madison's a good place. Obviously lost a couple games they'd

801
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 2: love back, but first year coach and Bobby Chez, I

802
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: think I like jam You.

803
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: You're burying the lead, which is Western lost its left

804
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: tackle to injury a week ago. Okay. Also the following

805
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: players are currently in the portal. Oh yeah, starting quarterback,

806
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver, linebacker, defensive end, nose tackle, defensive tackle, safety,

807
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: and kicker. Also their backup TJ. Fanley, who you mentioned,

808
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: as well as their third stringer.

809
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 2: A Downtree quarterback. Was it Caden Belcamp Who's Western Kentucky

810
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 2: starting quarterback or who became their starting quarterback after TJ.

811
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: Finley got hurt early on this season?

812
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: Believes I don't think it's Caden bell Camp. It is

813
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: Caden Ville caden Vell Camp. Okay, whatever, I'm getting my

814
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: notes mixed up. You're good. This does not mean they

815
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: are not playing because Portal guys have actually played in

816
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: bowl games before for Tyson hurw. It's just a pretty

817
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: big distraction, I think against a JMU team, as you said,

818
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: running in defense. Right, how's the trophy? Winners of this

819
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 1: game get the Howard Schnellenberger Championship Trophy. That's pretty cool.

820
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,279
Speaker 1: What do you think the design is? It's throw it

821
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: out there. What do you think the design is for

822
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: this cool name for a trophy? Right? Schnellenberger like a

823
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,760
Speaker 1: popular name, a historic name in college football.

824
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 2: Wait, you think the sharp dresser, big mustache?

825
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: What do you think the trophy? Just tell me, what

826
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: do you think? It looks like? Gold?

827
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:19,840
Speaker 2: A mustache, a golden mustache.

828
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: It's a golden football on a pedestal with an inscribed

829
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: plaque of Schnellenberger's face. Why not mabel the face the trophy?

830
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: Why do we got to do the gold football thing

831
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:38,279
Speaker 1: that's already been done. Give me a big old Schellenberger

832
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: face and give that to the winner who is not

833
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 1: playing for the schnelly face.

834
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 2: I agree, it's a weird thing to display potentially in

835
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: your school's trophy cabinet.

836
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. But that's kind of cool to me. Okay,

837
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: both seasons fun, make it fun on the trophy. Don't

838
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: cut corners here, Boca ratone travel Commission. Whatever this is.

839
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: I had good Ramin and Boker tone a long time

840
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 2: like for you. I think it was called ramen Lab

841
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:03,879
Speaker 2: free plug there.

842
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: It was good. If you're going to this game, romen Lab,

843
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: we agree on James Madison. By the way, Yes, Wednesday,

844
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: December eighteenth, nine pm. It is the bowl game with

845
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: the most modifiers. If you were diagramming the name of

846
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: this game. Bowl is the nouned art of sport is

847
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: the prepositional phrase acting as an adjective. La is a

848
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: single adjective modifying Bowl and hosted by Gronk, is the

849
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 1: participial phrase that also modifies bowl. As they look at you,

850
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 1: thank you, Dan, I was good at this in a

851
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: high grammar hammer thank you. This is the Art of

852
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: Sport LA Bowl hosted by Gronk formerly the Jimmy Kimmel

853
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: Boll formerly Jimmy Kimble Yeah Cal six and six, UNLV

854
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: ten and three.

855
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 2: I think, man, this is tough because you have a

856
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 2: COUNT team without their starting quarterback, UNLV team without their

857
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 2: starting head coach.

858
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 1: I jotted down this one is like picking between freezing

859
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:03,959
Speaker 1: to death and burning alive. I'm gonna go CAL. Why.

860
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: I think they still have enough weapons on offense. Defensively,

861
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: they got enough stops. It's not I mean, it's not

862
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: a big travel situation for either one of these teams.

863
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:14,960
Speaker 2: I think top to bottom there's a little bit more

864
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 2: talent depending on what happens.

865
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: In the portal.

866
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but we could see more UNLV guys now. UNLV

867
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 2: probably as the single best offensive healthy offensive weapon perhaps

868
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 2: and Ricky White.

869
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: If he doesn't opt over, if he doesn't if he

870
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: doesn't opt out, if he doesn't opt out, And that

871
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: was my note here. It's mostly a full boat.

872
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 2: I do like the running back room for CAL, though,

873
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna get going.

874
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: Cal is down Fernando Mendoza, who he's mentioned earlier. Chandler

875
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:38,919
Speaker 1: Rogers got hurt in the last game of the year,

876
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: so it could be CJ. Harris in their quarterback, who

877
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: I believe transferred from Ohio. You mentioned that earlier, but

878
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,839
Speaker 1: I don't know yet who's playing and who isn't. They're

879
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: also down there leading receiver in Azaiah Hunter, who I

880
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: think is in the portal. He's in the portal. Yeah,

881
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 1: they're left tackle got hurt. They have some other guys

882
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: who are nicked up and questionable as well. On the

883
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:01,759
Speaker 1: cal side. If this game were in Week nine, I'd

884
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,320
Speaker 1: be fired up to watch it. Yeah, I'd be super

885
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: fired up. With both of these teams kind of at

886
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: full strength. As such, I'm going to UNLV here. I

887
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,319
Speaker 1: just I have too many questions on the calside right now. See.

888
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 2: I feel similarly about pick I picked. I think UCLA

889
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 2: against Boise State last year. Yeah, with all the changes,

890
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm gonna go cal here. I just think

891
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 2: there's enough still enough there on that roster.

892
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: Trophy is a championship belt. Dan Oh, that's right, I

893
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: remember that. Who doesn't like a good strap? Well?

894
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 2: Is that because of the gronk element? I have no

895
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 2: idea trophy belt?

896
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I think I as far as I can tell,

897
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: they have persisted with this trophy. Now, I don't know how.

898
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: This is a relatively new bowl. Yeah, but they're given

899
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: out straps. It's a little bit of pro wrestling. You

900
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,800
Speaker 1: do it for your teammates. You do it for your college.

901
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: You do it to win the Straps, Dog, you do

902
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,760
Speaker 1: it to win the Straps. This is in the upper tier,

903
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: upper tier trophies. I totally agree.

904
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 2: I mean, the only thing I don't love about it

905
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: is it just feels kind of turnovery.

906
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: It does. It's a little bit overused, but it's still

907
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: it's a cool concept.

908
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 2: It's a cool concept they're trying, and we appreciate swings

909
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 2: here on the solid verbal. If you're going to this game,

910
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 2: let me know, I'll help you out with west side food.

911
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: Let me know. Let me know. December nineteenth, seven pm

912
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 1: to Thursday, the RNL carriers New Orleans Bowl Georgia Southern

913
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,320
Speaker 1: at eight and four. Sam Houston at nine to three.

914
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: Sam Houston, you mentioned earlier lost Casey Heeler, their coach.

915
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: He took the job at Temple. Actually really like that

916
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: higher for Temple, do I. He's got roots here on

917
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: the East Coast, particularly in Delaware, not far. I will

918
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: save some time otherwise and just say that most of

919
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: Sam Houston's defense is in the portal. It's unclear if

920
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: they'll play or not predictably, Yeah, but most of them

921
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: are in the portal probably as a result of this

922
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: looks like a rock fight to me, Dan, Like, we're

923
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: not talking about a potent Georgia Southern offense either. This

924
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,439
Speaker 1: is a team that was mostly led by defense. If

925
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 1: Sam Houston is down to backups, that will benefit their

926
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: offense for sure. I just don't know here, I don't know.

927
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: I think I saw the point spread was seven in

928
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: favor of Georgia Southern. I would be inclined to go

929
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: points just because this feels very rock fighty to me. Yeah.

930
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: Georgia Southern won three of their last four. You remember

931
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: they opened the season with that shootout against Boise State.

932
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 2: They scored forty plus against Boise State, moved the ball

933
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 2: through the air, but gave up a ton obviously, as

934
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 2: everybody did to Ashton genty. They haven't been a great

935
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 2: Bowl team under Clay Helton, but I think in this

936
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: situation they're more advantaged by the continuity.

937
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: So I'm going Georgia Southern. What do you think the

938
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: trumphy is for a game like this? RNL carriers like

939
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 1: a big trucking about, like a Nation trucking company.

940
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 2: Jazz Instruments, Golden Jazz Instruments or something like that. I'm

941
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 2: gonna go generic Lombardish.

942
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: We've got another silver football top a pedestal dance. Yeah,

943
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: it's a silver football atop a clear octagonal base. Okay,

944
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,760
Speaker 1: isn't that great? Yeah, let's get something.

945
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 2: We're in New Orleans, could you not? You're in New Orleans,

946
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: one of the world's great cities.

947
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: Great, do like a golden like Louis Armstrong trumpet or something, sure,

948
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: or RNL carriers. You're paying for the bowl again, this

949
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: is my call to my PLEA golden tire. How about

950
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: a big eighteen wheeler man okay, gearshift? Yeah, a big one,

951
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: like a three foot long one that everybody can hold

952
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 1: up as a team afterwards. Golden mudflap, something like that.

953
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 1: Something that's steers, something that steers. Get into it.

954
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: Ah, what are we doing here, guys? The gold football?

955
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: Come on, that's tough. You shouldn't even have a bowl

956
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: if this is your trophy. I'm sorry, I don't mean

957
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: the RNL tiers, but.

958
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 2: This is the time to steal year in two what

959
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 2: you are so I'm talking about. But yeah, if it's

960
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,280
Speaker 2: New Orleans, they're so have a golden riverboat. Do anything.

961
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: It doesn't need to be the coolest looking trophy in

962
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: the world. It does need to have some heart behind it,

963
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: some effort behind it, and that is what our next

964
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 1: bowl game has. The Golden Gumbo. That is what our

965
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 1: next bowl game has. A right, Okay, good? We are

966
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: now moving to December the twentieth, Dan we are not

967
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: talking about playoff games. There is one playoff game on

968
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: the twentieth. That night, we're going to be doing a

969
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: live stream for Notre Dame Indiana.

970
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: Canoodlewtie dot com. We do not have to buy it.

971
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: I're have to You're going to need to buy that.

972
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you that I worked in the

973
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: business affairs office DreamWorks for like seven months. And one

974
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 2: of the things this is true of all TV shows, movies.

975
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 2: Anytime a URL is mentioned that's made up. Like if

976
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 2: it's a movie about a kid who starts a website

977
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 2: called like by Time Eilerstoys dot com or something like.

978
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: That, they have to buy it.

979
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have to buy it ahead of the movie

980
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: coming out or else it's a disaster.

981
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: So were you the dude going on GoDaddy dot com?

982
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: So I wasn't the one doing it, but I just remember,

983
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: like I had to comb through scripts and if there

984
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: was any like URL mentioned that I had to to

985
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 2: flag it.

986
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: That's all. This game is on December the twentieth. We've

987
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: got two games on December the twentieth that we're going

988
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,840
Speaker 1: to talk through here. The Bowl Bingo game. This is

989
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 1: when it's officially gonna lock and you can start scoring points.

990
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: So from this point forward in the episode, Dan, yeah,

991
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: I want you to think. I want you to comb

992
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: the depths of your brain, all right, for any kind

993
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: of odd or not odd circumstances, things, situations that we

994
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: can put on the bingo card.

995
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 2: Okay, from this point forward, this point with the point forward,

996
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 2: daph I wanted to say, I almost said Staff Dena No,

997
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:02,720
Speaker 2: Staff DNA Cureball. This is a trophy with some heart Okay,

998
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: is it a double helix? The Cure Bowl is named

999
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 2: to promote awareness and research of breast cancer. Okay, and

1000
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 2: so yeah, the trophy is like that three D pink ribbon.

1001
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: Oh that's cool or a hewett. I don't know, but

1002
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 2: it's no. The helix was in reference to the DNA, Yeah,

1003
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 2: double helix of Watson and correct DNA. Yeah.

1004
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: This, I believe this trophy is mainly in the shape

1005
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: of that like it's like a three D version of

1006
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: the pink ribbon that you see during Breast Cancer Awareness

1007
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: Month and what So Cool Trophy. This one is obviously

1008
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: up there near the top of the power ranking given circumstances.

1009
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,279
Speaker 1: Ohio ten and three, Jacksonville State nine and four on

1010
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: paper a good matchup. Also, both coaches are leaving for

1011
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: other jobs. We got rich Rod going back to West Virginia.

1012
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: We talked about Tim Albin going to Charlotte. At the

1013
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: time of recording, I have no way of knowing right now,

1014
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 1: we're recording this on Friday, what the transfer situation is

1015
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,839
Speaker 1: going to look like for both of these teams. It

1016
00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:04,960
Speaker 1: looks pretty good on the Ohio side Jacksonville State, there's

1017
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: a chance there's an exodus, so I don't know. I

1018
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: don't know at time of recording. You mentioned it earlier,

1019
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 1: though I am incline to Ohio. I'm inclined to go

1020
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: Ohio here. I think there's less likelihood that we're going

1021
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,480
Speaker 1: to see like transfer mayhem. It is a mac team though,

1022
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: and that's what gave me cause for pause, our favorite

1023
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,400
Speaker 1: pet charity, right.

1024
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, Jacksonville State, that you know, a healthy, full

1025
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,799
Speaker 2: roster of Jacksonville State ran the hell out of the

1026
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 2: ball this year. Yeah, defense was okay, but they ran

1027
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 2: the hell out of the ball. Ohio's lost nobody beyond

1028
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 2: once again. Tim Alvin, starting head coach. I'm inclined to

1029
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: say Ohio just because I do want to make an

1030
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: exception if the roster is intact and the vibes are

1031
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: as strong as they are with their their drubbing in

1032
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:59,279
Speaker 2: the the MAC Championship game. So I'm going Ohio circumstantially here.

1033
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's this is one of the

1034
00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: more watchable games, just to see if Ohio can can

1035
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 2: build on their their win over Miami.

1036
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm adding Ohio money line as one of our choices

1037
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: on the Bingo card. Okay, Ohio money line just straight up,

1038
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: no point spread, just Ohio's got to win. Right now

1039
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 1: as I'm looking at it, it's Ohio minus one and

1040
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 1: a half, so they're slightly favored, but points spreads don't

1041
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: mean anything this time of year. I'm going to add

1042
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: that to the Bingo card. Okay, that's one of our options.

1043
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 2: So Jacksonville said had two thousand yard rushers, their quarterback

1044
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,399
Speaker 2: and their running back. Anything you want to do with

1045
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 2: not necessarily this game, but this first week. That like

1046
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: a prop with a rushing attack, a team goes over

1047
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 2: three hundred yards rushing.

1048
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,879
Speaker 1: I like that. I like, let's put that. Let's put

1049
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 1: that on. So a game goes over three hundred, goes

1050
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards rushing. That's also a great bet because,

1051
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: as you know, some of these teams are fully depleted

1052
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: and you're going to get some weird results.

1053
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 2: I like a lot of exercise happening.

1054
00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I like this one, Dan, I like where your

1055
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 1: head's at. I'll zoom in, you kind of zoom out

1056
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: and give me that bigger picture. Okay, Okay. Friday, December

1057
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: the twentieth, three point thirty Union Home mortgage gasperiable, Dan

1058
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: guess Brilla. Yeah, Tulane nine and four Florida seven to

1059
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,800
Speaker 1: five Florida at time of recording, a thirteen point favorite

1060
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: over Tulane. It's a big number. Tulane's gonna be down.

1061
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: Darien Mensa, who, as you said earlier, committed to Duke.

1062
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: Big get for Duke after Malik Murphy decided he was

1063
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,800
Speaker 1: going back in the portal. Tulane's second and third stringers

1064
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: also in the portal. Although your guy ty Thompson said

1065
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 1: he's gonna stick around and play the game. Okay, Tulane, Yeah,

1066
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 1: he's your guy. He's an Oregon guy. And on the

1067
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 1: Florida side, not a whole lot of consequence in the portal,

1068
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: like potentially a few opt outs here. But Florida seems

1069
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: like they're in a pretty good spot. Obviously, they had

1070
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: a ton of momentum going into the latter half of

1071
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 1: its season. Tulane, I believe, lost its last two. I

1072
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: don't know if they're winning by thirteen. That seems like

1073
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: a big number against a pretty decent Tulane team. But

1074
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: I also shudder a little bit to go tu lane

1075
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: because of the momentum being a lot on Florida's side,

1076
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna care about this game. It's

1077
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 1: relatively close. They played in it's in Tampa. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh.

1078
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 2: I think this is a limb from limb situation for Florida.

1079
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 2: I think there's a great opportunity to close a year

1080
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 2: that had already ended with very good vibes for Florida

1081
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: with a nice Bowl win, not traveling too far, a

1082
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 2: lot of family in the stands.

1083
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: In terms of interest, right, it's just DJ Lagway should

1084
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,280
Speaker 1: put on a show. How much of a show? Should

1085
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 1: we add this to the Bingo card?

1086
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:48,040
Speaker 2: DJ Lagway two fifty over under yardage Because here's the thing.

1087
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:49,880
Speaker 2: If if it's Limb from lim they're gonna pull them.

1088
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: They don't want DJ Lagway to get her.

1089
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: See, I think we got to go lower than that

1090
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: to twenty five to twenty. Let's go to let's go

1091
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 1: two o one. No, let's go one ninety nine and

1092
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: a half and a half to get to two. Yeah,

1093
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,239
Speaker 1: just to get to two. Oh man, I just think

1094
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: that's such an easy call. But okay, one ninety nine

1095
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: and a half.

1096
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 2: He can do that in the first half if he's

1097
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,560
Speaker 2: on and two lanes emptied out. Okay, one nine and

1098
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 2: a half total passing yardage for totally lay.

1099
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I want to add that one to the cards.

1100
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 1: Anything else that jumps out to you here, it's hard

1101
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:27,800
Speaker 1: on the two lane side because we don't know who's

1102
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: all playing.

1103
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 2: Right Mkai Hughes obviously was quite good. We'll see his situation.

1104
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 1: Okay, this trophy, friggin' rules. This is maybe one of

1105
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 1: the best ones all Bowl season. It is a wooden

1106
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,760
Speaker 1: pirate chest that's propped open with the Gasparilla logo inside

1107
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 1: of it. Gasparilla, of course, is the annual Pirate festival

1108
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 1: they have down in Tampa with a parade and other

1109
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: community events and such. This trophy's freaking awesome. I love

1110
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: this trophy. One of the best all ball season. Well,

1111
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: good job, guys, we love our pirate theme. Let's go

1112
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: ahead in time then to Monday, December the twenty third,

1113
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: eleven am Eastern early game, early game for you, ten

1114
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 1: am Central on a Monday, on a Monday.

1115
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 2: This is right at my wheelhouse. I got the TV

1116
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 2: right here. It'll just be on in the background. Continue

1117
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:18,120
Speaker 2: Myrtle Beach.

1118
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: No, I'll be I'll be in Mexico, won't I may

1119
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: call yes, yeah, okay, sure, this will be all over

1120
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: Mexican television. Continue. Coast of Carolina six and six. UTSA

1121
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: also six and six and favored by six and a

1122
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: half points.

1123
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 2: Probably rightfully so. Coastal is down two quarterbacks, both the

1124
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks.

1125
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: Both of their quarterbacks are in the portal. Also, it

1126
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: looks like they're going to start a guy named Tad

1127
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: Okay Richard freshman Tad Hudson. He's never taken a snap

1128
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: before there's a freshman behind him. Per the Action Network,

1129
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: Tim Beck joked that he is quote taking reporters out

1130
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 1: for tryouts end quote.

1131
00:57:58,040 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: If you told me Tad Hudson regularly pitch complete games

1132
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 2: for the Washington Senators in nineteen twenty seven, I'm like

1133
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 2: that sounds right.

1134
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: Good job, Ted. They've got a bunch of other guys

1135
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: in the portal, notably one of the great names we've

1136
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: ever seen in this sport, Matthew McDoom the corner.

1137
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: Yes, of course. Is he related to Eddie?

1138
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: He must, he has to be. There's not a lot

1139
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: of mcdooms out there. No, they're also kind of nicked up,

1140
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of hurt. Let me just get out in front

1141
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: of this. Don't pick Coastal Utsa is not perfect, but

1142
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: they they and they may not be at full strength,

1143
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 1: they're still better.

1144
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 2: They finished stronger. Yeah, they finished their offense.

1145
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think we should go both sides of

1146
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 1: this one. I think we should give people the option. Okay,

1147
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: since we seem pretty adamant about this, one of our

1148
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 1: Bingo card items can be UTSA minus the points. The

1149
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: other can be Coastal plus the points. Okay, seems fair enough,

1150
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,040
Speaker 1: especially since we don't know who's playing where, right, that's true.

1151
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: Just keep this one simple. Maybe you feel strongly about

1152
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: one of these versus the other. This trophy here is

1153
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,240
Speaker 1: your standard Isshue gold football top a rectangular pedestal dan

1154
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: actually more of a cong cave rectangular pedestal, so it

1155
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: sort of curves in. See.

1156
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 2: The big problem here is when you go to these

1157
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 2: trophy cabinets in the whatever and the administrative building, you

1158
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 2: just you want stuff that tells a story.

1159
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: This you can buy online for like one hundred and

1160
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: fifty bucks. Yeah, this is it's so forgettable. I have

1161
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 1: not done the full second batch. We're going to do

1162
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: that again on Thursday, right right now. In my Power

1163
00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:39,960
Speaker 1: rankings one through seventeen, this is number seventeen. This is

1164
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: the worst trophy that we are talking about today. It's

1165
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach one. It's horrible. It is the football, the

1166
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: con cave pedestal, and they just have like a very

1167
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: chinzy looking Myrtle Beach Bowl logo on it. You gotta

1168
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 1: be better. I mean, there's so much going on at

1169
00:59:57,160 --> 01:00:00,959
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach. You named it after a tourist. Hot put

1170
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: golf clubs on there put like you're next to the ocean.

1171
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 1: Like all of this stuff, you can do put a

1172
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: put a wave on and do something. This is just brutal.

1173
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 2: This is a Myrtle Beach has has many ghost stories,

1174
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,479
Speaker 2: including the tales of Alice Flagg and the Gray Man.

1175
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 2: Crazy to put the Gray Man on there?

1176
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: Do it? Well, not before we research what the grave is,

1177
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: not before he could be? Is he problematic? He could be.

1178
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I can't say one way

1179
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 2: or the other. There's an aquarium, there's nice gardens there.

1180
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 2: There's a great Christmas light show in Myrtle Beach. Apparently

1181
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 2: you can make a better trophy than this. Guys, you're

1182
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 2: paying for the game, pay more for the.

1183
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Trophy seaside golf.

1184
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: It'd be weird to put golf clubs on a football

1185
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: trophy that I can understand. I'm staying away from.

1186
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Monday twelve, twenty three December the twenty third,

1187
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,240
Speaker 1: two three pm. The famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Now we're talking.

1188
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm Stephanie joyans On, behalf of the Idaho Potato Commission. Yeah.

1189
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: Continue, Northern Illinois seven and five, Fresno State six and six.

1190
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 2: Now this is a wheelhouse matchup for you, Ty, let's

1191
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 2: get that Northern Illinois deep dive from mister Notre Dame.

1192
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: No, I'm not doing that. It still hurts, Dan.

1193
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: Pass defense one of the best in America.

1194
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Still hurts. Still hurts. Yeah, they were right there. Notre

1195
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Dame was right there. They were right. There's Northern Illinois.

1196
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: Fresno was hiring Matt Intz to be its next coach.

1197
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: He was with USC last year this season before that,

1198
01:01:34,840 --> 01:01:40,680
Speaker 1: won two championships in five years, North Dakota State, something

1199
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: like that, Right, I have a sawce spot for hiring

1200
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: the North Dakota State guys. Ever since we were up

1201
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: there for that playoff game. Sure, so curiously how that

1202
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 1: ends up working out. Fresno is hollowed out a bit

1203
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: on offense, though we got Mikey Keene back in the

1204
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Portal Macdalena, their wide receiver declared for the draft. Got

1205
01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:01,320
Speaker 1: a handful of other losses out wide and really at

1206
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: all three levels of the defense. My gut says Fresno anyway,

1207
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: because and I use in the mac and I try

1208
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 1: to abide by your rules if it makes sense, But

1209
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm not too confident in that one, Dan and.

1210
01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 2: I you is down a ton of dudes in the portal,

1211
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 2: as is Fresno. So then it becomes like, do you

1212
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 2: trust and I use coaching staff. I mean it's Ethan Hampton, right,

1213
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 2: then I use that's that's quarterback in the portal. Yeah,

1214
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: Fresno quarterback mikey Kem in the portal.

1215
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: Correct.

1216
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's a rock fight as much

1217
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: as it is like dueling second baseman pitching in the

1218
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 2: twenty fourth inning. I guess Fresno. I guess with a

1219
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 2: little more firepower in the backups, I would assume more firepower.

1220
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: With for Fresno's backups. So I'm will Fresno. I think

1221
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: we agree. Yeah, I think we agree on that one.

1222
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 1: Any thoughts on this? I have maybe a trophy, bet,

1223
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: a trophy bet Okay. There have been different variations of

1224
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: this trophy over the years, but it's one of it's

1225
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,959
Speaker 1: one of the few that I think are legit great.

1226
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: It's one of the I mean, it's the easiest trophy

1227
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 2: to make because the what should be on the trophy

1228
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:23,680
Speaker 2: is right there in the name.

1229
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 1: They're pulling an orange bowl. They're given the winner a

1230
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 1: big old bull of spuds. Great, some good meaty Russets

1231
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: in there, Dan, I love it. So I'm just wondering,

1232
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: can we fashion a bet around like somebody spilling the

1233
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: potatoes out of the bowl as they put as they

1234
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 1: pick it up. Is that it might be too abstract, tie,

1235
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 1: too abstract? Okay, we need something for the famous side

1236
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: hohoed Potato Bowl, though. We got to have something here

1237
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: for this that we put in.

1238
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 2: Hmmm, so blue turf, blue turn Fresno State.

1239
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Like it kind of feels like this could be a

1240
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: very very ugly offensive game. To me, I would say,

1241
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: can't does it?

1242
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:07,400
Speaker 2: It's a it's a plus minus either team scoring twenty

1243
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: nine and a half total points.

1244
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: I like it. I like it. Potato Bowl one team

1245
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: over twenty nine and a half points.

1246
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, total not It doesn't have to be offensive total points,

1247
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: just total points.

1248
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: One team scoring twenty nine and a half points. Correct.

1249
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: By the way, shout out.

1250
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 2: My college roommate is from Boise, and when I was there,

1251
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 2: the fun fact I learned is like the Idaho Potato

1252
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 2: baron has like a compound in Boise and it's kind

1253
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 2: of on a big hill and there's some sort of

1254
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: annual event where people ride potato sacks down Old man

1255
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 2: Simplot's Hill.

1256
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: He might be he might be like.

1257
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 2: The McDonald's seller, like he might sell potatoes to Idaho.

1258
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 2: The other thing I learned about famous Idaho potatoes, I

1259
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 2: think they export far more, Like nobody eats Idaho potatoes

1260
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 2: in Idaho really, because it's such a huge export that

1261
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 2: they just.

1262
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Where do they come? Where do they come from? Then?

1263
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 2: Well, I know, I think they grow the potatoes in Idaho,

1264
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 2: but because they had the reputation of being such good potatoes,

1265
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,800
Speaker 2: like ninety nine percent of them are shipped out, so

1266
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:17,439
Speaker 2: they have to bring in potatoes from elsewhere or there's

1267
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 2: just not in a lot of people in Idaho.

1268
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: So potatoes, well, that's probably more the case. Yeah, Tuesday.

1269
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: This one's on Christmas Eve, eight pm. It's the Hawaii

1270
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: Bowl between USF and San Jose State. Dan. This is

1271
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: an excellent trophy game, and I'm going to tell you

1272
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 1: how they came up with the idea. Okay, they've been

1273
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: playing this game since two thousand and two. I cannot

1274
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,919
Speaker 1: confirm this, but this is my assumption, having been deep

1275
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: in the underbelly of corporate America for many years. At

1276
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: some point in the aughts, there was a meeting and

1277
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 1: probably an intern who said, hey, you know, a football

1278
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 1: does kind of look like a pineapple. It totally does.

1279
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Why don't why don't we make the trophy a football

1280
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: dressed up as a pineapple?

1281
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 2: How does how does a football dress up like a pineapple?

1282
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:18,920
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you just like put like football stuff on a pineapple?

1283
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 2: They just didn't.

1284
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Kind of, it's more of the it's more of the

1285
01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: other way around. It's it's a football, and then they

1286
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: just kind of have like the pineapple like roots coming

1287
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 1: out of Okay, like it's got it's like a football

1288
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:33,240
Speaker 1: with like a mohawk kind of thing. God, I like that.

1289
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,640
Speaker 2: It's great. It's pineapple with laces. Probably would have been cool.

1290
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, just I mean, it does have laces.

1291
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,680
Speaker 1: It's a football with the little pineapple thing, right right, Okay,

1292
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: but again, this is what I'm talking about New Orleans,

1293
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach, even Scooter's Frisco Ball, Like, come on, guys,

1294
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,680
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? Just keep it simple, stupid,

1295
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,800
Speaker 1: that's all you gotta do. Owai did it well? Usf

1296
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: San Jose State, Dan who you got? First of all,

1297
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: it's called a crown, the crown, thank you. The pineapple Crown.

1298
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I had to look it up.

1299
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: That's what I meant. You know what I meant.

1300
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm won in San Jose State here. Both for geography,

1301
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 2: there's like this weird subplot with USF football that any

1302
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 2: week now Byron Brown is coming back and that still

1303
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 2: hasn't happened. Maybe he'll suit up for the Hawaii Bowl. Also,

1304
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 2: Kenya Modalolo is a Hawaiian high school quarterbacking legend. I

1305
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 2: just don't think there's any way that they lose this game,

1306
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 2: that they leave the Islands with an l So with

1307
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,320
Speaker 2: this offense, I'm won in San Jose State here. I

1308
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 2: feel good about them. I don't know what's Nick Nash's

1309
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 2: status unclear, unclear, unclear unclear at time of recording.

1310
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, hmmm, let me think if there's anything on the

1311
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: line here passing wise, because it's such a new thing

1312
01:07:56,200 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: for Kenyu Mondololo teams to pass like they do, what

1313
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: would be I feel like we may need a bet

1314
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: if we're going to get some ken Nea Modalolo tiers.

1315
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Now that might be a little too subjective. Now, let's see,

1316
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:13,560
Speaker 1: it's it's unclear because coming back to Hawaii, right where

1317
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 1: there's obvious roots, and as you said, was a legend.

1318
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: I think we might get that. I kind of kicked

1319
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:21,160
Speaker 1: around the idea of like will there be a gatorade

1320
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: dump on ken Neia Modaloo. The problem is you don't

1321
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: always see that stuff win and you don't know if

1322
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: they're going to win, right, So you're kind of going

1323
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 1: a step further. I think I am inclined to go

1324
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: San Jose State minus the number as one of the bets. Okay,

1325
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: just to keep it simple, just you know, maybe you

1326
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 1: feel strongly as you do for San Jose State. And

1327
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: then I want to go total yards in this game.

1328
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 1: And here's why I want to say this. There is

1329
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: some portal action on the us F side, mostly on defense.

1330
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: That's not to say that this has been a shutdown

1331
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 1: defense at all this season. It's not really their calling card, right,

1332
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 1: But I'm curious. This feels to me like a game

1333
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 1: that could end up being a random shootout. And so

1334
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: not only would I put San Jose State minus three,

1335
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: but I want to go over under total yardage at

1336
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 1: four fifty both teams four hundred.

1337
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 2: For both teams four hundred, Like you think it's gonna

1338
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:24,680
Speaker 2: be a crazy shootout. I think it could be a

1339
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 2: creat Let's go five to fifty total yards both teams,

1340
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,799
Speaker 2: so six fifty. Let's go higher, six fifty six fifty

1341
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 2: both teams. Yeah, total yardage, but add up both their

1342
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 2: total yardage? Does it go over six fifty? Oh oh,

1343
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 2: I thought, Look, so it is a shootout. They would

1344
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 2: both go over five hundred probably higher shootout.

1345
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: What should we go eight hundred? Both teams each go?

1346
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:51,400
Speaker 1: If the each go over four eight hundred should clear?

1347
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 2: Yes, come combined eight hundred total yards.

1348
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: You'll make it seven ninety nine and a half, just

1349
01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: to kind of seven.

1350
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing you gotta remember the tie ball

1351
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 2: season Alex Goulish forty five nothing over Syracuse. We went

1352
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 2: and whooped that ass, didn't we?

1353
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: That's right? That's right.

1354
01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 2: So maybe our confidence San Jose State shouldn't be as

1355
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 2: high as it is.

1356
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 1: So I'm saying weird Christmas Eve shootout?

1357
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 2: I think so too. Seven hundred ninety nine and a

1358
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 2: half total yards over under.

1359
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,600
Speaker 1: What you got? Thursdays day after Christmas seven of the

1360
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:27,960
Speaker 1: twenty six two PM the game above Sports Bowl? What

1361
01:10:28,040 --> 01:10:32,280
Speaker 1: is that? What is game above? I looked this up?

1362
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:34,559
Speaker 1: Did you not look it up. Game. I did not

1363
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: look this up.

1364
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:39,760
Speaker 2: No, I think it's a Okay, I have this in

1365
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 2: my Google game above is this? It sounds like entertainment

1366
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 2: seven to twenty okay?

1367
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 1: Game above.

1368
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: It is a successful multifaceted brand that includes charitable giving,

1369
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 2: capital investments, sports, entertainment, and media ventures. It was started

1370
01:10:56,560 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 2: in Ipsel, Annie, so just outside of ann Arber. It's

1371
01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:03,600
Speaker 2: I think associated with Eastern Michigan. Okay, I don't know

1372
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: exactly what any of those.

1373
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: What do they do? I looked at the logo for

1374
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: this game. It looks like a canvas special. I'm a

1375
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 1: little bit worried about what. I have no idea what

1376
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the trophy looks like. Their website for the bowl game

1377
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 1: is part of the Detroit Lions team website because this

1378
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: used to be the Qui Quick Lane Bowl, which they

1379
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: play at Ford Field, HM. Used to be the Little

1380
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Caesars Pizza Bowl before that. Right, I don't know what

1381
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 1: the trophy is. All I can go on all inside.

1382
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: All I can go on is the logo, which to

1383
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: me leaves a lot to be desired. I agree this

1384
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: is pitt. This is Toledo. Both teams are seven and five.

1385
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Pit's a pretty healthy favorite. I am not crazy about

1386
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: Toledo here, and it's really got little to do with

1387
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: your rule and more to do with me just thinking

1388
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Pitt's better. They're more injured, but I think they're better.

1389
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 1: I don't know about Eli Holstein.

1390
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,080
Speaker 2: Nate Yarnell in the portal, right.

1391
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about you. It looks like Desmond

1392
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Reed is gonna be good to go the running back

1393
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 1: for pick. But you're right, Yarnie's in the portal. If

1394
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,840
Speaker 1: it's not Holstein, they may be turning it over to

1395
01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: a red shirt freshman and David Lynch, but again, great name.

1396
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: Just unclear to me where things stand for Pitt on

1397
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback position and with some of the injury stuff.

1398
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm still on pit though, because I think

1399
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: they're just a better team. But they may what does

1400
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 1: that come? They may not be able to cover that

1401
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: night in the Game Above Bowl. Yeah, I don't know

1402
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: where are you at here? I'm just thinking about Game

1403
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 1: Above more than anything else here. Ty, multifaceted brand, storyteller, poet, actor, writer, mother.

1404
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Pitt as well. I'm gonna go

1405
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 1: with Pitt as well. I don't know what again, Toledo's

1406
01:12:57,760 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: status in the portal because all these Mac teams.

1407
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, hit pretty hard. Toledo is down not that many plays,

1408
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 2: it does it work? Is down more players. Yeah, it

1409
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:10,439
Speaker 2: doesn't look horrible to me. I'm gonna go Toledo here,

1410
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 2: you're going zips. I think pit on a slide.

1411
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 1: Rockets when end of the year, I'm thinking acron Excuse me,

1412
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: I did a video in the Rockets and Rockets.

1413
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:18,559
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1414
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well in Toledo Gamebo Sports Bowl, Dan. I think

1415
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: there are opportunities here for interesting bets. Okay. I want

1416
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: to look at Desmond reid rushing yardage. It sounds like

1417
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: he will be good to go. He may not be

1418
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: good to go, but that's part of the bet. I

1419
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: would go over let's say one hundred and ten rushing

1420
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 1: yards for Desmond Reid. I like that.

1421
01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 2: Okay, how about this. It could be Desmond Read or

1422
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:53,639
Speaker 2: whoever has the most carries for pitt a pit running back,

1423
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 2: a pit running back hundred and nine and a.

1424
01:13:56,520 --> 01:13:58,760
Speaker 1: Half over one oh nine and a half yards. I

1425
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 1: like that. Okay, that's fabulous, fabulous the ambulus on the

1426
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 1: Toledo side, on the Rocket side, Yes, I think it's

1427
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:12,439
Speaker 1: a question of passing offense for me personally, and I

1428
01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: don't have a whole lot of confidence in it. So

1429
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: let's say over one seventy five a Toledo quarterback goes

1430
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 1: over one hundred and seventy five, one hundred and seventy

1431
01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: four and a half. Okay, your rd's passing. Okay, we'll

1432
01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: keep this one more player Proppy, Okay, fair enough. I'm

1433
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 1: switching my pick to Pitt. Gotta go.

1434
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm going back to pet. I'm swinging back in the

1435
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 2: pit direction.

1436
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,639
Speaker 1: Also on Thursday, five thirty pm, it's the Rate Bowl.

1437
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 2: You used to be guaranteed, right, Apparently it's not guaranteed anymore. Sorry, guys,

1438
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 2: we made a bunch of promises there is all right,

1439
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 2: not guaranteed.

1440
01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 1: They give out a two dimensional silver cactus that is

1441
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: shaped like a goalpost and it's got a football going

1442
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 1: through it.

1443
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:57,240
Speaker 2: Hm.

1444
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: They play this this one in Arizona, which is why

1445
01:15:02,160 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: they're doing the whole cactus thing. But it's not the

1446
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 1: Arizona Bowl because that's a different game, right, I don't

1447
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: this is This is a piss poor effort from the

1448
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 1: guaranteed Rate folks. Dan, it just is, Well, you can

1449
01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: tell me why you could have a very creative spin

1450
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:23,120
Speaker 1: on something other than the standard issue cactus shaped like

1451
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: the goalpost with the ball going through it. It just

1452
01:15:26,160 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 1: seems like this is AI generated. To me, this is

1453
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 1: a pisspoort. There's no creativity in this whatsoever.

1454
01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 2: If it were me and it's not. I have the

1455
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 2: golden mangled skycam that fell during this game, and like

1456
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 2: two thousand oh, I don't even know two thousand and nine, ten,

1457
01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 2: I think I always in that game. That was when

1458
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 2: it was either the Insight or Insight dot Com right

1459
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:54,040
Speaker 2: was this I'm on the site right now it was.

1460
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 2: Was it ever the Micron PC Bowl or was that.

1461
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 1: A different gosh? I have no idea. Okay, the finally

1462
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: the family trees on a lot of these bowl games

1463
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: are preposterous. Oh my god.

1464
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:09,439

1469
01:16:28,080 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: Copper Bowl. I don't like this trophy is a lousy trophy.

1470
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 1: Rutgers seven and five, Kansas State eight and four. I

1471
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: am watching specifically both running backs here. Sure, I want

1472
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: to see if we get any opt outs. We could

1473
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: see an opt out from the heel Monster Kylemanan Gai.

1474
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 1: We could see an opt out from DJ Giddens for

1475
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 1: Kansas State. I think k State's the better team, full stop,

1476
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: better team. There's a reason why they're favored here by

1477
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:57,519
Speaker 1: this metric. And I don't know about seventeen or seven points.

1478
01:16:57,560 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me. Yeah, I don't see a whole lot of

1479
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 1: transfers right now to their name. Seems like they are

1480
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 1: healthy enough. We know that they've been somewhat inconsistent, but

1481
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: they should be better than Rutgers.

1482
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 2: Don't you think they lost at least and offensive lineman

1483
01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 2: starting offensive lineman Kansas State. I wanted to Carver. I

1484
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,680
Speaker 2: think his name is Carver, Yeah, Carver Willis Yeah. I

1485
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:22,880
Speaker 2: think he's off to Washington. I'm gonna go Kansas State

1486
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 2: here as well, though I should know. I don't know

1487
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,760
Speaker 2: the status Kamanong guy, I don't know if you mentioned that.

1488
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: I apologize if you did.

1489
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 2: Rutgers was like two and a half minutes away. From

1490
01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 2: being ten and two. Now, winning is a skill that

1491
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 2: they did not possess. But you look at the UCLA game,

1492
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 2: Nebraska game, obviously the Illinois game with Pat Bryant. Not

1493
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 2: to bring up painful memories for Rutgers fans, they were

1494
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 2: led by their offense weirdly enough, which wasn't great, but

1495
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 2: their defense kind of fell off this year. I mean

1496
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 2: client to take Rutgers, I'm going Kansas State just because

1497
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: I think they have a higher ceiling here, less travel,

1498
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 2: so I'm going case State here.

1499
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 1: Interesting thing to note, Yeah, the over under here is

1500
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half points. Okay, that feels very

1501
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: high to me. I want to put over under in

1502
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: this on this bingo card. Okay, on one side you've

1503
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,280
Speaker 1: got over fifty one and a half. On the other

1504
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: you've got under fifty one and a half. The lines

1505
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,639
Speaker 1: may change by the time you gets to your bingo card.

1506
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: But the points, the total in this one, to me

1507
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: is something of interest. I could make a case for both.

1508
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 1: I can make a case for a lot of points.

1509
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 1: I can make a case for just a rock fight

1510
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: that they score like twenty three in total. Sure, So

1511
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,479
Speaker 1: I'm going to add the over under to our bingo card.

1512
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:44,639
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, No, Avery Johnson prop two and a half

1513
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 2: total touchdowns running and Pa.

1514
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: Do you want to do that? We could do that too,

1515
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 1: Avery Johnson.

1516
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:50,120
Speaker 2: Two and a half, three and a half. What do

1517
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:54,759
Speaker 2: you want it to be? Two and a half anyway

1518
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,719
Speaker 2: he gets if he catches a fake pass for a touchdown, counts. Yeah,

1519
01:18:59,040 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 2: two and a half total touchdowns, Avery Johnson. We're going

1520
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 2: to keep the over under in here and the Avery

1521
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 2: Johnson bed as well.

1522
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:11,040
Speaker 1: Yes, okay. Also on Thursday, getting here to the bitter

1523
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: end of our bull batch. We've got about five six

1524
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: games left to go. Throw them, try to zip through them.

1525
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: The sixty eight Ventures Bowl, Dan, Okay, this was the

1526
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,479
Speaker 1: website you went on last year and noticed that some

1527
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 1: of the executives sound like sec quarterbacks. Do you remember

1528
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:27,600
Speaker 1: I remember that?

1529
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 2: Yes, It's like some kind of like insurance company or

1530
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 2: something real estate company in Birmingham.

1531
01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: It's sort of like a real estate development issue a

1532
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: company from what I could gather the money quote on

1533
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: their mission statement is or in their mission statement quote.

1534
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Our culture is heavily influenced by the military and athletic

1535
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: experiences of many of our team members, to which I

1536
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: say they may be SEC quarterbacks. Yeah, there may be

1537
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,960
Speaker 1: some truth to that. We've got Arkansas State at seven

1538
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: and five. We've got Bowling Green at seven and five.

1539
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:03,839
Speaker 1: Dan Harold fannin gonna play.

1540
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 2: Man, of course, of course he is gonna prove all

1541
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 2: those MACKI voters wrong once again, like he did all

1542
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 2: season long.

1543
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:16,360
Speaker 1: All starters are reportedly playing for Bowling Green. Hell yeah,

1544
01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: I think we gotta go Falcons here, right? I where's

1545
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 1: this game?

1546
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 2: Where's the sixty eight Ventures Bowl located Birmingham. That's a

1547
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,519
Speaker 2: tough sell. I think Arkansas State might travel somewhat well

1548
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 2: to this one. This is the fourth team I believe

1549
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:34,400
Speaker 2: Butch Jones has taken to a bowl game.

1550
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes, Mobile Alabama? Excuse me, I was close.

1551
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to Arkansas State here. I don't know why,

1552
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,679
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but if I'm gonna say, well,

1553
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:48,759
Speaker 2: Harold Fannon could single handily do this. Arkansas State's defense

1554
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 2: this year was awful. Yeah, they're very bad. They weren't

1555
01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 2: great to end the year. They lost to ODU five

1556
01:20:55,600 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 2: and seven. But I'm gonna go with Arkansas State neverthe

1557
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:01,920
Speaker 2: less to take down a MAC team, and I'm gonna

1558
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,480
Speaker 2: stick with my ethos.

1559
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: I want you to think up a Harold finn In

1560
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: centric bet while I rant about this trophy. Okay, I

1561
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 1: already have it one hundred and twenty five. Well do

1562
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: you want it? You? Yardage? Touchdowns catches up to you.

1563
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: You're the phanoma of this show, So why don't you

1564
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:22,360
Speaker 1: tell me what you think? Uh? Six and a half catches,

1565
01:21:22,600 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: Harold Fannin. Wow, is that low? It feels kind of low,

1566
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,800
Speaker 1: but it you don't know. You just don't know. Six

1567
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,439
Speaker 1: and a half catches. Okay, now we'll go six and

1568
01:21:33,439 --> 01:21:34,160
Speaker 1: a half. Is good enough?

1569
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 2: Eaten and a half, eight and a half. Let's go

1570
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 2: seven and a half, seven and a half.

1571
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: There. It is this trophy, Dan, for a company that's

1572
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: doing as well as the sixty eight Ventures website would

1573
01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: lead you to believe. This trophy looks like it's something

1574
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 1: influenced by that crystal bowl that you may have in

1575
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 1: your pantry that a lot of people have in their pantry,

1576
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 1: the thing that you use once a year and you

1577
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: maybe put fruit punch or shrimp cocktail in it. Okay,

1578
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: that's what this trophy is. That's the triph. No, no,

1579
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: not okay, it's like a wooden peasant. Anything in the

1580
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 1: bowl is Are there not even shrimp? No? No, there's

1581
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: nothing in the Alabama golf shrimp. No, no, nothing in

1582
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:15,479
Speaker 1: the ball. It'd be better if they put the golf

1583
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: shrimp in it. I agree. This is a crystal bowl.

1584
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: That's it. That's all. There's nothing in the bowl. Nothing.

1585
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 1: This is the second year that sixty eight Ventures has

1586
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: had this bowl game. They're giving out a crystal bowl.

1587
01:22:32,240 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 2: In their defense, it is the most it is literally

1588
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 2: the most literal thing that they could give away in

1589
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: a bowl game, a ball, I guess, you know.

1590
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, fair enough, so they they I don't know,

1591
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,920
Speaker 1: but put something in it, inscribe something on it. This

1592
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: it's this trophy comes across to me like, oh hey, guys,

1593
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: we could use this as a tax right off things. Right,

1594
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: of course. Gotta do better, guys, you just gotta got

1595
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 1: to do better than a bull Harold fannin seven and

1596
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: a half catches. I think on the flip side of

1597
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: this one, we're gonna do Arkansas State money line just

1598
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: in case. Okay, just in case, just in case, something

1599
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: to counter your herald phantom fan fiction.

1600
01:23:17,400 --> 01:23:21,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, fan whatever, Okay, Friday twelve, twenty seven,

1601
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:26,839
Speaker 2: high noon, it's the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl Dan Okay,

1602
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:28,719
Speaker 2: Oklahoma against Navy.

1603
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: Interesting matchup on the surface, Okay, this trophy does not

1604
01:23:35,479 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 1: look like anything special. I did the research. I went

1605
01:23:40,000 --> 01:23:44,679
Speaker 1: below the surface on this. Lockey puts some money into

1606
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: this thing.

1607
01:23:46,040 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know how much. Soccer the world's biggest

1608
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 2: defense contractor. Shocker, I know, I don't know how much

1609
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 2: this thing costs. That's what I was looking for and

1610
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 2: I could not find it.

1611
01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. There is a five and a half minute vide

1612
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,840
Speaker 1: on the website for this Bowl game showing how they

1613
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: made it. Yeah. Quote. The trophy contains decommissioned pieces of

1614
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Lockheed Martin aircraft, spacecraft, and weapons that are field tested

1615
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: and battle ready, like the armed forces that inspire it,

1616
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 1: representing each of the six branches of the US Armed Forces.

1617
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 1: Each piece that goes into this trophy is an iconic

1618
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,280
Speaker 1: symbol befitting of those who answer the call of duty.

1619
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,599
Speaker 1: Dog Ah, I think.

1620
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give opinions on our our Patreon show continue.

1621
01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: If that sounds heavy. Yeah, it's also sixty five friggin pounds.

1622
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate that there is some weight, there.

1623
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: Is some girth to this, so it's it's a foot.

1624
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,200
Speaker 1: It's like a Matt Black football kind of has like

1625
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:58,800
Speaker 1: a little pedestal holding it up. You watch the video

1626
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 1: and at some point it hit you like a ton

1627
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:05,879
Speaker 1: of bricks. This thing's gonna be heavy, sixty five pounds,

1628
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:08,760
Speaker 1: sixty five pounds. So I commend them for the at least,

1629
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: if nothing more of the story behind it. I cannot

1630
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 1: verify that all the things are in the trophy, the

1631
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: DNA of the trophy the way they claim, right. But

1632
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: if nothing more, I'll take a good story from where

1633
01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm sitting because I got to deal with the Myrtle

1634
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:23,920
Speaker 1: Beach Bowl here and this ain't that right? What do

1635
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 1: you got from me? Oklahoma versus Navy.

1636
01:25:27,080 --> 01:25:33,280
Speaker 2: Oklahoma versus Navy, weird matchup right right? Yes, Oklahoma down obviously,

1637
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 2: key pieces whatever you want to call a piece when

1638
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 2: you go six and six right is where Oklahoma fished six,

1639
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 2: six and six nyve disappointing end to their year. Oklahoma

1640
01:25:43,360 --> 01:25:47,639
Speaker 2: strength is their defense. This will be a Michael Hawkins game,

1641
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,680
Speaker 2: I believe for Oklahoma.

1642
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:53,559
Speaker 1: Yes, so Jackson, Arnold, JJ Hester, Jalil Farouk all in

1643
01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: the portal, Nick Anderson, Danny Stutsman could opt out their

1644
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: stud defender Navy. Of course, there is nobody in the

1645
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: portal as you might expect, right, and it is a

1646
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins game. Yeah, I'm still going to go Oklahoma

1647
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: in this one. How about that.

1648
01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna run well. I think the Navy

1649
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 2: defense is gonna struggle and there's still there are still

1650
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,240
Speaker 2: enough key pieces on this Oklahoma defense that they get stopped.

1651
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm going Oklahoma. Here is the question for the bingo card. Okay,

1652
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:28,040
Speaker 1: how many yards rushing does Navy come away with against

1653
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: a good Oklahoma defense? How many yards rushing?

1654
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 2: What was Navy's I'm putting on the spot here. What

1655
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 2: was Navy's average output in a game rushing yardage? I

1656
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,280
Speaker 2: can tell you right now. I can you can be

1657
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 2: like five seconds five.

1658
01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: If I if I had to take a guess, I

1659
01:26:43,760 --> 01:26:50,719
Speaker 1: would say average output two forty two.

1660
01:26:51,760 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 2: To forty seven per game.

1661
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: Okay.

1662
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:56,519
Speaker 2: In the American it was two thirty eight, So you

1663
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 2: were right in the middle there. So why don't we

1664
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 2: call it two hundred even or one ninety nine and

1665
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 2: a half.

1666
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 1: Against one nine and a half. I like it, Okay,

1667
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:08,880
Speaker 1: I like it. Do we want to do anything against

1668
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: the other way for Oklahoma? Something with the Oklahoma offense

1669
01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: because for the Navy side of things, obviously the rushing

1670
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: offense was kind of like the biggest show in town.

1671
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 1: H but Oklahoma the offense was very much in question

1672
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: for a good chunk of the year, the Michael Hawkins

1673
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: Jackson Arnold roller coaster ride with something else It has

1674
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:35,000
Speaker 1: since now driven Jackson Arnold out right? Is there a

1675
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,679
Speaker 1: prop bet a touchdown bet for Michael Hawkins junior?

1676
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:45,880
Speaker 2: So longest touchdown pass over under for Oklahoma fourteen and

1677
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:51,719
Speaker 2: a half yards? Oh not, that could be comically low.

1678
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:52,479
Speaker 2: That could be comic.

1679
01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,240
Speaker 1: It's got to go higher. I think it's got to

1680
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:54,719
Speaker 1: go higher.

1681
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 2: Longest touchdown I watched.

1682
01:27:56,720 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: I watched Navy against Notre Dame that I watched Oklahoma

1683
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: against South Carolina. South Carolina plays defense, though.

1684
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,759
Speaker 2: Okay, so fine, you want twenty four and a half

1685
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 2: longest touchdown pass I'm.

1686
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: Going to jot down twenty four and a half. I

1687
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,400
Speaker 1: want to see what the actual line is.

1688
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 2: People have come up with the line that ridiculous.

1689
01:28:17,439 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: Somebody's got that line. Okay, we will have some version

1690
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,160
Speaker 1: of this Okay, some version of this will be on

1691
01:28:22,160 --> 01:28:26,280
Speaker 1: the bingo card, Michael Hawkins or just overall touchdown Pat.

1692
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: We'll come up with something. Okay, okay, okay, we got

1693
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 1: four left. Let's buzz through. Here we go, coming to

1694
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:38,360
Speaker 1: the end. Long show. But this has been fun. Birmingham Bowl,

1695
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: George Tech minus two and a half, Vandy squaring off

1696
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 1: against Tech. They are six and six Tech finish a

1697
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: real year, fun matchup. Yeah, this is, as Bill Connolly said,

1698
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 1: two of the leading characters this season Dan, Yes, strong

1699
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:59,799
Speaker 1: trophy game and they took a chance here. Not gonna lie.

1700
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 1: This is a trophy inspired from a Vulcan statue that

1701
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:06,800
Speaker 1: sits atop the nearby Red Mountain. It's been there since

1702
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,920
Speaker 1: before World War Two. I had no idea this was

1703
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: a thing. Awesome. This guy's a Roman god. Also, of note,

1704
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,080
Speaker 1: he is not wearing pants and in the trophy his

1705
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:23,960
Speaker 1: bare ass is fully exposed. I appreciate this. I pray

1706
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 1: we appreciate all of it. Very strong trophy game here,

1707
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:27,560
Speaker 1: very strong.

1708
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech down some key pieces to the portal, notably

1709
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 2: what Eric Singleton yep, Eric big play receiver yep. I'm

1710
01:29:35,520 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 2: still going to go Georgia Tech here. I'm still going

1711
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,400
Speaker 2: to go Georgia going Vandy.

1712
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: Really see now, if Georgia Tech were to win, does

1713
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:48,600
Speaker 1: that indirectly validate SMU over Bama? Maybe?

1714
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 2: I think it's a huge referendum referendum on the SEC

1715
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,400
Speaker 2: as a whole. I think there might be no bigger

1716
01:29:54,439 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 2: bowl game that can stand in as a referendum on

1717
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,320
Speaker 2: what the SE see is or isn't that Georgi attack bandy?

1718
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 1: All right, we need to have a Haines King versus

1719
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:06,439
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia bet here.

1720
01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll do total yardage since they're both dual threats

1721
01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 2: something like that.

1722
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 1: Do you want to do Haines King total yardage? I

1723
01:30:15,439 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be all on Haines King, I think. Okay,

1724
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:23,120
Speaker 1: And for Diego Pavia, why don't we do touchdowns? Total touchdowns? Oh?

1725
01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna have head to head. Who's

1726
01:30:24,800 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 2: going to have more total yardage?

1727
01:30:26,160 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 1: Oh? Do you want to do that? Yeah? Okay, Haines

1728
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: King more.

1729
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,200
Speaker 2: See what the status was Haines King's shoulder, Yeah was

1730
01:30:34,240 --> 01:30:35,639
Speaker 2: what was ailing him this year?

1731
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: Okay, Haines King more total yards and Diego Pavia Pavia

1732
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: more total yards than Haines King.

1733
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,240
Speaker 2: Yeah great, I can hear. I can tell you what

1734
01:30:46,280 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 2: they're what yards not yards from scrimmage, that's running back

1735
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 2: in uh total offense right yeah yeah, total offense. Haines

1736
01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 2: King versus Haines King total yardage was two forty eight

1737
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 2: point eight in every game. Diego Pavia two thirty seven

1738
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,960
Speaker 2: to four. Right there, not bad.

1739
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 1: I like it. I like training, your training, your thought

1740
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:16,519
Speaker 1: here Friday Getting the Zone twelve twenty seven, seven pm

1741
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:20,920
Speaker 1: AutoZone Liberty Ball. Yes, Texas Tech against Arkansas. This could

1742
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,680
Speaker 1: be a fun game. This why I jotted down this

1743
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 1: feels like max chaos to me. M hm. We got

1744
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 1: Arkansas banged up along the line. They've got six healthy

1745
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,320
Speaker 1: scholarship offensive lineman left. Three of their linemen are in

1746
01:31:33,360 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 1: the portal. They've also got a starting wide receiver their

1747
01:31:37,560 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: star tight and Luke has Lucas Excuse me, I'm watching

1748
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: Andrew Armstrong as well, their wide receiver, to see what

1749
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 1: he ends up doing. On the tech side, Tech lost

1750
01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 1: Zach Kittley, their offensive coordinator. He's now the head coach

1751
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:57,680
Speaker 1: at Florida Atlantic, and they fired Tim Ruder, the defensive coordinator.

1752
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,840
Speaker 1: I have no idea in this game. I have no

1753
01:32:00,920 --> 01:32:02,719
Speaker 1: idea what to expect in this football game.

1754
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 2: I mean two very strong rushing attacks. Yes, I don't

1755
01:32:08,320 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 2: know about Alan Green dual threat. We'll see who's playing.

1756
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see who's playing. I don't know if we're

1757
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:17,439
Speaker 1: gonna have like an opt out for Toaj Brooks. It's possibility. Hmm.

1758
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:23,879
Speaker 2: I like Arkansas here, I do too. Taylor Green announced

1759
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:29,280
Speaker 2: he's coming back, right, It's correct, yep, two very volatile

1760
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:32,320
Speaker 2: teams this year. But if TAJ Brooks is a maybe

1761
01:32:32,320 --> 01:32:36,519
Speaker 2: in this one, I think I lean Arkansas. So is

1762
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 2: there a bul bingo item to be had here?

1763
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:43,920
Speaker 1: I just I think the thing I'd like to play

1764
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: into is max chaos. Okay, so can we do something

1765
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 1: like total points in the game, maybe, just like in

1766
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 1: a classic over under or how if you really truly

1767
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:57,040
Speaker 1: believe this game is chaotic? I believe this is max chaotic.

1768
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So why don't we do number of lead changes

1769
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:01,080
Speaker 2: in this game?

1770
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 1: Oh? Ten and a half? Ten and a half is

1771
01:33:05,960 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot, It's like a seven and a half. Come on,

1772
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:11,640
Speaker 1: that's way too many. Ten and a half is like

1773
01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 1: a basketball game, dude, No, that's not. If it's back

1774
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: and forth in a football game.

1775
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:20,120
Speaker 2: No way, Okay, five and a half, four and a

1776
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:24,479
Speaker 2: half negative seventeen, ty, give me an indicator of where

1777
01:33:24,479 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 2: your brain is.

1778
01:33:25,200 --> 01:33:26,559
Speaker 1: We'll do five lead changes.

1779
01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 2: So is that four and a half or five and

1780
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:30,040
Speaker 2: a half.

1781
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:32,679
Speaker 1: More than four five and a half?

1782
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay, five and a half lead changes? Lead changes in

1783
01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 2: this specific game? Yeah, less than five and a half

1784
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:40,759
Speaker 2: lead changes?

1785
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: Oh? I like this, Dan, this is good.

1786
01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 2: Hold on, can we define lead changes though? Does the

1787
01:33:45,320 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 2: first score count as a lead change? Like, if a

1788
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 2: team goes up from zero zero to three zero, is

1789
01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 2: that a lead change.

1790
01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 1: I think that's just a lead that's just a start.

1791
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so excluding the first score, yeah, excluding the

1792
01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 2: first score shifts in lead change.

1793
01:34:03,439 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: That's right. Okay. I just want to be clear. I

1794
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:08,720
Speaker 1: forgot about the trophy here. What do you think the

1795
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: trophy is for the autozoned Liberty Bowl A muffler. This

1796
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:15,880
Speaker 1: is one of the oldest bowls, been around since about

1797
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:20,640
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty nine. This is Memphis to Memphis, but this

1798
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 1: is the giveaway. It was started originally in Philadelphia Memorial Stadium. Oh,

1799
01:34:25,400 --> 01:34:28,040
Speaker 1: it's the Liberty be sell the bell. It's the bell. Yeah,

1800
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:31,880
Speaker 1: and interestingly enough, the bell is cast right down the

1801
01:34:31,960 --> 01:34:35,760
Speaker 1: road in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, place I know extremely well and

1802
01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: have very strong family ties. I could go down there

1803
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:39,920
Speaker 1: and watch them make this thing if I really wanted.

1804
01:34:41,040 --> 01:34:43,280
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, they made the trophy or they made

1805
01:34:43,320 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 2: the actual letter bell.

1806
01:34:44,520 --> 01:34:50,040
Speaker 1: They make a authentic to scale quarter sized Liberty bell

1807
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:53,360
Speaker 1: and that's the trophy. Okay, so they didn't know. They

1808
01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:55,439
Speaker 1: didn't make the actual Liberty bell, but they're making like

1809
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: if you go on the website, they talk about the

1810
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:03,080
Speaker 1: craftsmanship that this place you know, puts into building this trophy.

1811
01:35:03,360 --> 01:35:06,200
Speaker 1: There's a story here. They put a lot of heart

1812
01:35:06,240 --> 01:35:09,400
Speaker 1: and soul into it. It's an authentic like replica of

1813
01:35:09,520 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 1: Liberty Bill, but it's shrunken down to a quarter of

1814
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 1: the size.

1815
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:17,400
Speaker 2: Am I saying this right? It's Penridge High in the Sellersville.

1816
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: Penridg Yep, that's correct. How do we feel about Penridge High?

1817
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: I had a pretty good football team this year from

1818
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:22,439
Speaker 1: what I understand.

1819
01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 2: Okay, well there you go. Yeah, that's all I need

1820
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 2: to know.

Speaker 1: excuse me, a silver football a top a slotted cylindrical

1827

1828
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:51,439
Speaker 1: spend a little more cash on the trophy.

1829
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:54,400

Speaker 2: reef or a point setia something to like.

1835
01:36:13,439 --> 01:36:17,200
Speaker 1: Speak to a sponsor or the name of the nothing Hollo.

1836
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:19,679
Speaker 1: So fun. It's one of my favorite things about college

1837
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 1: football is the holiday. I have so many good memories

1838
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: down in San Diego. Was was this the game that

1839
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 1: was flooded out that one year?

1840
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:28,800
Speaker 2: That may have been the San Diego County Credit Union

1841
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:31,160
Speaker 2: point Sedia boot Okay, but.

1842
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 1: It was at the stadium. It was at whatever it is,

1843
01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:38,800
Speaker 1: Qualcom whatever they call it now. Yeah, and that was

1844
01:36:38,840 --> 01:36:41,759
Speaker 1: a Navy game. I remember enjoying that the United States

1845
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 1: Navy was playing in a flooded Bowl game, and that

1846
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: might have been the year that had wave Rider on

1847
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 1: the team too, if memory serves.

1848
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 2: That's at all computes for me.

1849
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you catch what the f animal had to

1850
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 1: say about this game? No? They asked the f animal

1851
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:58,400
Speaker 1: Fran Brown, Syracuse coach, whether any of his guys were

1852
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: going to opt out. Quote, we don't opt out around here?

1853
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: Do they have any opt outs? They don't, not that

1854
01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: I could subsequently, No, not that I could see. I mean,

1855
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 1: not really anybody of substance. Wazu does have a few

1856
01:37:11,680 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: guys in the portal, the big one. We're waiting on

1857
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: his Jommetir and Wazoo is supposedly trying.

1858
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:19,719
Speaker 2: To think there's some other schools waiting on John Matier

1859
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 2: as well.

1860
01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:21,800
Speaker 1: There are, there are. He's a good player, he's an

1861
01:37:21,800 --> 01:37:25,280
Speaker 1: exciting prospect. Wazuo is trying to put something together to

1862
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 1: keep him in pullman. I hope they can do it,

1863
01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 1: but unclear at this point if that's yay or nay.

1864
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: That's been going on for a couple of days. I'm

1865
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,160
Speaker 1: on Qus here. I think Q's is the better team.

1866
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 1: I think this could also be backs chaos, but that's

1867
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 1: pretty dependent on John Mateer playing. Vibes are good.

1868
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:47,080
Speaker 2: Travel is extensive, but I will say to even enhance

1869
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 2: the vibes. It's not warm in Pullman, Washington right now,

1870
01:37:50,240 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 2: twenty seven degrees currently in Syracuse, New York with perhaps

1871
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 2: another foot of lake effects snow coming. Oh Man, and

1872
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 2: you've got San Diego on the horizon.

1873
01:37:59,280 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm going good vie here. I got Kyle McCord over

1874
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:07,679
Speaker 1: under over three and a half touchdown passes for one bet,

1875
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 1: and we should go Wazu money line on the other one.

1876
01:38:14,280 --> 01:38:18,800
Speaker 1: Wazu money line. Yeah, what is the money line? It's

1877
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 1: just picking Wazu outright. Oh okay, So either picking Wazu

1878
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,559
Speaker 1: outright or one of your other options. Here is Kyle

1879
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:27,760
Speaker 1: McCord over three and a half touchdown passes.

1880
01:38:27,960 --> 01:38:31,479
Speaker 2: Gotcha okay, and Wazuo down there starting like very good

1881
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:36,479
Speaker 2: freshman running back. That's right way, Shaun Parker. Yeah, final game, Dan,

1882
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 2: we made it man full way through Friday, December twenty seventh, ten.

1883
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:46,720
Speaker 1: This is the Las Vegas Bowl. This is Texas A

1884
01:38:46,800 --> 01:38:49,800
Speaker 1: and M, this is USC and.

1885
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:51,880
Speaker 2: This is no longer at Sam Boyd Stadium. It's in

1886
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:53,040
Speaker 2: like Allegiance State.

1887
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 1: It's an Allegiant stadium. Ah, so this is Texas A

1888
01:38:58,760 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: and m USC the SRS distribution Las Vegas Bowl. Correct.

1889
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,800
Speaker 2: So this is typically like an old PAC twelve team

1890
01:39:07,280 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 2: that's disappointed to be there, losing to an excited Mountain

1891
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 2: West team.

1892
01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, But that's not the case this year. USC,

1893
01:39:15,880 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 1: A and m USC down key contributors. Down key contributors.

1894
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,320
Speaker 1: I think the portal A and M could have opt

1895
01:39:22,320 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: outs from Nick Gorton, Shamar Stewart, maybe some others. Right, obviously,

1896
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:33,240
Speaker 1: Conor Wigman already transferred out. I still think A and

1897
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:35,479
Speaker 1: M's the better team, though I'm going to go with

1898
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: A and M as well. I still think A and

1899
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: M is the better team. This is a white bejeweled football.

1900
01:39:40,479 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 1: It's held up by like three curved prongs. D and

1901
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:46,600
Speaker 1: more colorful, I would say than most. I think it

1902
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 1: takes inspiration from a slot machine. I don't hate it.

1903
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 1: There was at least some effort here. I feel like vibes. Yeah,

1904
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a trophy that should light

1905
01:39:54,920 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: up like you're in Vegas. Do something crazy. They have

1906
01:39:57,840 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 1: lasers coming out of it or something something nuts up.

1907
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: So there. There's room to grow here. But it's not

1908
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 1: This is not the Myrtle Beach Bowl. It's not the

1909
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Sixty Adventures Bowl. This is okay, we need a bet

1910
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 1: here for this. M.

1911
01:40:13,479 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 2: A and M is down two quarterbacks, right, it's also

1912
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:19,640
Speaker 2: Jalen Henderson's done for A and M in addition to

1913
01:40:19,680 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 2: Connor Wagman.

1914
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 1: I believe. So I'm gonna say, is there something that

1915
01:40:24,920 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: we can do in this game like a USC blown

1916
01:40:27,880 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 1: fourth quarter lead?

1917
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go USC blows fourth quarter lead?

1918
01:40:32,880 --> 01:40:34,640
Speaker 1: All right, So look, we're going to add more to

1919
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 1: this bingo card. This is not the total list of bets,

1920
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: but you've got how well people have to choose. People

1921
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,759
Speaker 1: will have to choose I believe six okay, six items,

1922
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,519
Speaker 1: six of these that you think are going to hit.

1923
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 1: And we will give you more details on the prize

1924
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:52,679
Speaker 1: for the first week as well as the overall prize.

1925
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:53,760
Speaker 1: We're working on that right now.

1926
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:58,280
Speaker 2: What happens if we have a tie like five, there's

1927
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,200
Speaker 2: a tie breaker? I don't there will be tiebreakers time record? Yeah, absolutely,

1928
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 2: all right, that does it.

1929
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:06,639
Speaker 1: Dan. This is a very long show, much longer than usual.

1930
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: Thank you.

1931
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:10,240
Speaker 2: We're giving away, we're giving away a crystal bowl. Crystal No,

1932
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:12,439
Speaker 2: we're not one. No, we're not.

1933
01:41:12,520 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 1: I will custom design a trophy for the This is

1934
01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:17,840
Speaker 1: what Actually, this is exactly what we're going to do. Okay.

1935
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:21,200
Speaker 1: I will custom design a trophy that we will send

1936
01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: you that will be worth it, that you can put

1937
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: in your in your home somewhere, maybe behind you if

1938

Speaker 1: you work from home, and if you got like a

1939
01:41:30,040 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 1: zoom setup or something. I will make a custom trophy

1940
01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:36,400
Speaker 1: that I think is befitting of this regal contest that

1941
01:41:36,439 --> 01:41:37,400
Speaker 1: we're calling Bulbingo.

1942
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:41,600
Speaker 2: Okay, would you go as far as saying statement piece? Oh, absolutely,

1943
01:41:41,760 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 2: conversation piece. This is an heirloom, Dan, what are we

1944
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 2: talking about. You're going to pass this down to generations

1945
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 2: to come.

1949
01:41:56,320 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 1: building this myself. I will need some design input from you,

1950
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,840
Speaker 1: though design is not my thing. You know this, but

1951

Speaker 1: I know a good design when I see it, and

1952
01:42:04,360 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 1: I think that's what's most important. Okay. It will not

1953
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,639
Speaker 1: be a golden football atop of pedestal, nor a glass
