Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal. I'm that for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy
Speaker 1: for a day? Ado Steak? Is that? Ladies and gentlemen
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, California, Dan Rubinstein, Let's it's the ducktail song.
Speaker 1: Let's all hit the woo hoo really hard before Tie
Speaker 1: comes out, because I want him to feel that in
Speaker 1: a very strange way. It's coming up here and there
Speaker 1: it is, okay, thank you. Here comes and now the
Speaker 1: Sultan of sound, the Monarch of microphones, the Emperor of
Speaker 1: m P three's, the boss of bandwidth, the Prince of
Speaker 1: free amps, Tie Hilden. This this is incredible time. I
Speaker 1: can't see where he's noticed the music. Yeah, I had
Speaker 1: to do that, Ty, How you doing it? I'm good? Wow,
Speaker 1: that's low. Okay, you can move it away. Okay. So
Speaker 1: what are we doing tonight? And who are we? We
Speaker 1: are the solid verbal? Thank you to everyone? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: somebody already went down. Is he okay? There's a lot
Speaker 1: of intensity in the room. The chair broke. Are you okay, sir? No,
Speaker 1: He's got a very like good center of gravity. Like
Speaker 1: he's a I'm this is great. Okay.
Speaker 2: All right, So, in case you did not hear our intro,
Speaker 2: my name is ty Hilda Brandt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my name is Dan Rubinstein, and we are the
Speaker 1: solid Verbal and we are we have a plan for tonight.
Speaker 2: We have a plan. Hello New York. Thank you for
Speaker 2: coming out here this evening. By a show of hands,
Speaker 2: how many people listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1: Regularly, Hey, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: Okay, by standing room only, Ty, by a show of hands,
Speaker 2: how many people were dragged here against their will?
Speaker 1: Yeah? What Ryanny? Our wives are I like that?
Speaker 2: So our goal here this evening is to try and
Speaker 2: make it enjoyable for everybody. Thank you for coming out.
Speaker 2: And as Dan mentioned, we do have a plan. This
Speaker 2: is one of our favorite shows that we do every year.
Speaker 2: We decided it would be fun to actually try and
Speaker 2: do it live before an audience here at barbecue.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we're doing our fantasy things drafts, and our
Speaker 1: Fantasy things draft is very stupid. We will be drafting,
Speaker 1: and we have sound effects and we should have dressed
Speaker 1: up a little bit more, but we will be drafting storylines, narratives,
Speaker 1: fun things that we expect to happen during the college
Speaker 1: football season this fall, and we take it very seriously.
Speaker 2: So if you've ever done a fantasy football draft, you
Speaker 2: know that you pick players.
Speaker 1: We don't do that.
Speaker 2: What we're trying to do is give you a look
Speaker 2: at what might be coming down the pike this season,
Speaker 2: what some of the storylines might be that you should
Speaker 2: keep your eyes and ears peeled for. And we kind
Speaker 2: of pick our own teams, but instead of players, we
Speaker 2: have storylines.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 2: So what we've done over here, I don't know if
Speaker 2: everyone can see it. We have a whole slew of
Speaker 2: note cards, each of which signifies a storyline that we
Speaker 2: think could pop up this college football season. And we
Speaker 2: are going to take turns making our selections, putting our
Speaker 2: selections into this very official looking official team selection envelope
Speaker 2: playing a sound tailor are production.
Speaker 1: We have the sound and in the back there it is Yeah,
Speaker 1: he will be playing that sound and then we'll be
Speaker 1: unveiling our proverbial teams before we go on. Tie. Is
Speaker 1: that chair working out? So far? So good? All right?
Speaker 1: I love hearing it, so on that note should probably
Speaker 1: get started.
Speaker 2: I have a poker chip that was sent to us
Speaker 2: from a gentleman who works for the FBI. I don't
Speaker 2: know if that's true. This is one hundred percent tru weird.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm able to actually give out
Speaker 2: his name, so I won't.
Speaker 1: Okay. But on one side, we've got stripes. On the other,
Speaker 1: we've got solids. And I figured we just flipped this
Speaker 1: to figure out who goes first. Okay? Was he recently
Speaker 1: fired by the Just tell me that I don't ask questions? Okay, sure,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Did you take diligent notes?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll give you stripes, I'll take solids.
Speaker 1: Okay. I initially wanted to wrestle for the first pick,
Speaker 1: but what is it? Solids looks like? Come up? Okay?
Speaker 1: So I has the first pick in the drafts, which
Speaker 1: means you will be introducing me as the commissioner. Correct,
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right. Okay. So after ty introduces me
Speaker 1: as the commissioner of the twenty seventeen Fantasy Things Draft,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to boo me lustily. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that's like, and we need to be accurate,
Speaker 1: So really go for it with the booze, Tye. Whenever
Speaker 1: you're ready, you have your pick. The pick is in. Okay,
Speaker 1: the pick is in, ladies and gentlemen, your commissioner, damn
Speaker 1: proven Steve. I'm gonna be honest. That was a goof
Speaker 1: and it's still hurt. It's still hurt. Okay. So with
Speaker 1: the first overall pick, damn it Ty has selected Chip
Speaker 1: Kelly Coaching Rumors. That's a really good pick. I had
Speaker 1: been negotiating with Chip Kelly Coaching Rumors. That's right, that's right,
Speaker 1: damn it.
Speaker 2: So for those of you who listen to the show
Speaker 2: and are familiar with our fantasy Things concept, which we've
Speaker 2: had for a couple of years running. Now, last year
Speaker 2: my big pick was Tom Herman coaching rumors. And as
Speaker 2: you know, there were a lot of rumors about Tom
Speaker 2: Herman all throughout the year until he eventually ended up
Speaker 2: at Texas. So when we put our heads together and
Speaker 2: started thinking, all right, what's going to be the hot
Speaker 2: in vogue coaching rumor this year, it has to be
Speaker 2: chip Kelly's with ESPN now, of course, recently departed from
Speaker 2: San Francisco, recently departed from the Eagles in college, there's
Speaker 2: still is a bit of an a lore, an appetite
Speaker 2: for chip Kelly went.
Speaker 1: Forty six and seven. I believe yes at Oregon that
Speaker 1: sounds right if memory Serves didn't end very well. But
Speaker 1: my question, and the.
Speaker 2: Question we've asked on our show for a couple months
Speaker 2: running now, is how many schools right now would fire
Speaker 2: their coach if they knew Chip Kelly would sound.
Speaker 1: A lot of coaches. The thing I like about this
Speaker 1: pick is it could cover just weird speculation on message
Speaker 1: boards because there are so many schools that think they
Speaker 1: can get Chip Kelly if they fire their coach. Cal
Speaker 1: thought they were going to get Chip Kelly, and Cal's adorable,
Speaker 1: they are, they weren't getting Chipped there.
Speaker 2: There's gonna be a post on a Texas tech message
Speaker 2: board right.
Speaker 1: Early October like, hey, what do you guys? What do
Speaker 1: you guys think? Yeah, he owns land in the area.
Speaker 1: He's like John Gruden right, owns a lot of land. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly's probably noted like one of two schools. And
Speaker 1: but that's good because scout dot com exists, I think
Speaker 1: twenty four sets, like all the message boards exist, and
Speaker 1: so the athletic exists. If you pay four ninety nine
Speaker 1: what is right? So rumors might be on there. We'll
Speaker 1: see I mean I somebody will so we love Nicole.
Speaker 1: I have the second overall pick. You do, Okay? I
Speaker 1: have made a selection. All right, we have so many
Speaker 1: cards up here, so do you want to give sure card? Ooh?
Speaker 2: With the second overall pick. In the twenty seventeen Solid
Speaker 2: Verbal Fantasy Things Draft, Dan Rubinstein has selected Josh Rosen's
Speaker 2: hot takes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh Rosen is outspoken. Does Josh Rosen love football? Who?
Speaker 1: I love this pick. It's going to last for a
Speaker 1: long time. So you know why, Well, when do we
Speaker 1: score the Fantasy Things draft? Because if he goes pro,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have months of nothing.
Speaker 2: But that The exciting part about our Fantasy Things again
Speaker 2: is that we have no defined scoring system. Right, we
Speaker 2: have no idea how this works the year prior.
Speaker 1: So let's say mid May mid May. Let's come mid May.
Speaker 2: Two years ago we decided that we would try and
Speaker 2: just to sign an arbitrary point value and that that
Speaker 2: would work.
Speaker 1: Well, we kind of lost interest about mide through. I
Speaker 1: got a people were accusing me of bullying you, but
Speaker 1: people really liked the show.
Speaker 2: And then last year, last year, we thought, hey, it's
Speaker 2: the offseason, we can get another show. Of just arguing
Speaker 2: who won, and that's when people thought that you bullied me.
Speaker 2: So I guess is coming here. I need to be
Speaker 2: a little bit more of a type A. I don't know,
Speaker 2: but here is why I'm a little critical of this pick.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm all about Josh Rosen and his hot takes.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, and I'm down with that. Didn't you more
Speaker 1: recently tell him to put a sock in it? Come on, Tye,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Tell him it's not a good look, ty
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen is not going to let the man keep
Speaker 1: him down. Your first overall pick. To take that risk
Speaker 1: and say I like his hot takes. Hot takes. He
Speaker 1: just likes speaking.
Speaker 2: Knowing full well that he might not have them the
Speaker 2: full year through. That could be a bad bust of
Speaker 2: a pick.
Speaker 1: I feel great about it. I feel wonderful about it.
Speaker 1: I believe you're up again. Oh yeah, we're doing like
Speaker 1: Serpentine style here. Okay, you've got Josh Rosen. I'm wrecking
Speaker 1: this down here. Actually, okay, the pick is it? With
Speaker 1: the third overall pick? Yeah, twenty seventeen Soliverble Fantasy Things Draft.
Speaker 1: We're building for the future here, ty coaches arguing penalty,
Speaker 1: the new penalty in which coaches can get fifteen yard
Speaker 1: penalties for running out on the field, and arguing because
Speaker 1: I just love the idea of what will be the line,
Speaker 1: both physically and out loud. Tie in your opinion, Tyler, Jay?
Speaker 1: Is it Jay? It's James Tyler, James Eldibrick. What do
Speaker 1: you think is the word that will get the penalty?
Speaker 1: I know what the word is. I want to know.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm this according to me, is f to mainstream.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it might, but like I think it has
Speaker 1: to be a combination of profanity in order to draw
Speaker 1: that flag. See, I think the magic word is horseshit.
Speaker 1: I think the magic word because it's the most coach
Speaker 1: angry word and Bill Snyder is gonna get so many
Speaker 1: of them. Yes, no, but I think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: spread across college football. I think at Espanation we drafted
Speaker 1: quarter of drafted coaches in a fantasy league, so a
Speaker 1: sub draft of coaches who will get this penalty. So
Speaker 1: I think this the seed is spread wide and I
Speaker 1: already regret phrasing it like that coach. Okay, it's another
Speaker 1: ballsy pick by Yeah, I gotta say, I feel this
Speaker 1: is I've also had half a beer.
Speaker 2: That that could be my my secret weapon here. Okay,
Speaker 2: I'm on the clock.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pick is in. Oh, we're feeling good. Pick
Speaker 1: with the something something fourth overall pick, let's go fourth,
Speaker 1: fourth overall. Bick Ty hilden Brand has selected a softer
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly. Softer, a softer, kinder, cuddlier. Nanny disapproves Brian Kelly.
Speaker 2: It's funny what four and eight will do to a
Speaker 2: man I'm right there with as a longtime Notre Dame fan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and someone who obviously, just by virtue of doing
Speaker 1: our show, has followed Brian Kelly in his career very closely.
Speaker 1: This is at least the second time where we've seen
Speaker 1: a softer Brian Kelly after a tumultuous season. He does yoga.
Speaker 2: Now he does yoga and actually incredible. I pulled a
Speaker 2: quote here, kidding, I'm not making this up. This is
Speaker 2: from Sports Illustrated back in March. This is an actual
Speaker 2: quote from an article talking about a softer Brian Kelly.
Speaker 2: Quote in the back closet of his sprawling coaches office
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame, Kelly grabs an oversized black Lululemon yoga.
Speaker 1: Mat premium, premium.
Speaker 2: And unfurls it in the vacated space of his office.
Speaker 1: Who is a coach that you feel positive is more
Speaker 1: limber than Brian Kelly. It's say, probably around the same
Speaker 1: age too, so not like probably Mark D'Antonio. Mike Riley.
Speaker 1: Mike Riley is definitely more limber. Mike Riley can do
Speaker 1: things you can unsea.
Speaker 2: But so they're talking about yoga now, they're talking about
Speaker 2: Lulu Lemon yoga mats, and I gotta believe that this
Speaker 2: is the kind of thing that goes out the window
Speaker 2: after they lose their first two games and all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, it's gonna be a red face, the red
Speaker 2: faced Irishman is going to be back, and a softer
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly will probably go by the wayside. But I
Speaker 2: figure I get a good six, maybe seven weeks out
Speaker 2: of a softer Brian Kelly before I stop getting points
Speaker 2: all together for this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm picturing the episode of The Simpsons where Flanders
Speaker 1: was spanked as a child so many times to repress
Speaker 1: all the anger. Not that somebody is spanking Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1: It's a mixed metaphor somebody might be spanking Brian. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but that it's all going to come out
Speaker 1: in the same way it did for Flanders in that
Speaker 1: episode where this is just pushing some bad things down
Speaker 1: and they're they're gonna it's gonna r a softer, A
Speaker 1: softer Brian Kelly. For what it's worth, this was Dan's idea,
Speaker 1: this item, and when I saw it, I quite literally
Speaker 1: spit juice out on my keyboard. What kind of juice
Speaker 1: are we talking about? Juicy juice? Juice? All right? Am
Speaker 1: I am? I up again? You've said that in such
Speaker 1: a strange way. My up again, You are up again?
Speaker 1: And I will use this opportunity. There's a microphone in
Speaker 1: front here. After we're done with the draft, we'll do
Speaker 1: a Q and A and priority will be given to
Speaker 1: anybody that starts their question with Hey, so my friend
Speaker 1: dated tie and she says, anybody that starts their question,
Speaker 1: that's priority. All right. The pick is in. See I'm
Speaker 1: getting all my top selection. That's fine. You gotta play
Speaker 1: catch up with the fifth overall pick. Ty hilden brandas
Speaker 1: selected Mike Gundhy's mullets. Tie was in on Mike Gundy's
Speaker 1: hair before anybody else, So fair it is. It's a
Speaker 1: dood alert. Yeah, yeah, So here is the story because
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Gundy's mullet.
Speaker 2: We've been doing the show since went in two thousand
Speaker 2: and eight, and I have this thing on the show
Speaker 2: with schools like Old Miss where I'm always a year
Speaker 2: or too early. I love all Man, love TCU, TC
Speaker 2: you will probably be outstanding this year. I'm always a
Speaker 2: year early. So when we first did the Fantasy Things draft,
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, I selected Mike Gundy's extraordinary hairline.
Speaker 1: That's what we called it, right, No one had any
Speaker 1: clue what that meant. You didn't have any idea what
Speaker 1: that meant. It was just a strange thing that you
Speaker 1: notice and the whole per like it was a new concept.
Speaker 1: We didn't really know what we were doing with this
Speaker 1: at all. And you were just like, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's got he's got a strong, very strong line. But
Speaker 1: did you think it was going to be mentioned during
Speaker 1: a game, like did you think Brent Musburger was gonna
Speaker 1: be like a stronghead of hair on that man?
Speaker 2: I just thought it was funny, all right. So we
Speaker 2: had an intro score recorded talking Mike Gundhy's hairlines, saying, quote,
Speaker 2: it's strong, it's kind, it's as reliable as the tides
Speaker 2: in an ever changing world. Mike Gundy's hairline stands tall
Speaker 2: against genetic disposition and never seeds control of Oklahoma State football.
Speaker 2: That was what we said back true, But no one
Speaker 2: talked about his hairline because why would they?
Speaker 1: May I ask you a follow up question, because you
Speaker 1: are bored aboard with the business in the front and
Speaker 1: the party in the back. Obviously because you were one
Speaker 1: year you had a business in the front, pick and
Speaker 1: now you have a party in the back. That's right,
Speaker 1: that's right. If you were hanging out with Mike Gundhy
Speaker 1: for whatever reason from a media perspective, from doing what
Speaker 1: we do. And he was like, Tie, I've heard through
Speaker 1: the grapevine that you really really like my hair and
Speaker 1: not just the mullet. Yeah, would you like to run
Speaker 1: your hands through my hair? I think I think that's
Speaker 1: a once in a life Would you say yes? I
Speaker 1: think you almost have to. Would you go front to
Speaker 1: back or back to front? Oh, I guess front to path.
Speaker 1: I don't have to go front to back. You gotta
Speaker 1: save the best for last. Anyway, Yeah, I picked this
Speaker 1: two years ago.
Speaker 2: It had no relevance, no connection to anything going on
Speaker 2: in college football.
Speaker 1: Everyone made fun of me.
Speaker 2: And then last year he grows a freaking mullet, and
Speaker 2: this year it's it's it's unkempt. It's even more unkempt
Speaker 2: than it was a year ago. And so I figure,
Speaker 2: what a better opportunity than now to get back in.
Speaker 2: He'll probably shave it week one, knowing my luck, but
Speaker 2: why not jump in again on the Mike Mike Gundy
Speaker 2: hair train and just see if we can ride it
Speaker 2: all season long.
Speaker 1: The Mike Gundy hair train just made that up. I
Speaker 1: don't like saying that out all right, I don't, mister Rubinstein,
Speaker 1: you are on the clock with his third pick. Did
Speaker 1: they bring the food out, by the way, is that good?
Speaker 1: Did the people get wings and giving thumbs up? Okay?
Speaker 1: So okay, just making sure.
Speaker 2: With his third pick in the twenty seventeen Cliburble fantas
Speaker 2: this pick, Dan Rubinstein selects Lane Kiffin.
Speaker 1: Controversy so easy. He's in Florida. Are we to believe
Speaker 1: that this is a gentleman? He's single. I've never been
Speaker 1: single in Florida, tie, but I've heard some stories. So
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's coaching again. The good dudes are getting fired.
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin's in Florida.
Speaker 2: Kiffen is at Florida Atlantic. Suffice to say the most
Speaker 2: attention Florida Atlantic has gotten in quite some time.
Speaker 1: Sure, and he's single, is ready to mingle with recruits,
Speaker 1: with recruits, Okay, and where are you going with this?
Speaker 1: I don't want a past judgment.
Speaker 2: The thing about Lane Kiffin that we know is that
Speaker 2: he wants to make a splash. He wants to make
Speaker 2: a splash, and I'm done with the euphabisms, just saying broadly,
Speaker 2: this is a guy alpfa beer. This is a guy
Speaker 2: who wants to step in there, wants to make a splash.
Speaker 2: And I would assume get a bigger job at some
Speaker 2: point than Fau. But I would think that the controversy quotion,
Speaker 2: if such thing exists, is pretty high with him.
Speaker 1: I think the urge for Lane Kiffen is strong to
Speaker 1: be Lane Kiffen. I think it resides in him with
Speaker 1: a burning passion and the fact that he is in Florida,
Speaker 1: he's sort of off the beaten path Power five college
Speaker 1: football conference wise, and anything goes in that state. Ty
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen the stories, but we're
Speaker 1: not just talking about Lane Kiffen with some sort of
Speaker 1: uh oh he has a girlfriend. It's Lane Kiffen was
Speaker 1: arrested for insurance fraud. Lane Kiffen issued a statement in
Speaker 1: which he said, I was not aware that you couldn't
Speaker 1: import exotic animals to a college football is total You're right,
Speaker 1: So I just the potential is so vast for this
Speaker 1: pick that week to week you are going to be
Speaker 1: a nervous wreck. Lane Kiffin's Burmese python. Yeah. Absolutely, okay,
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin. I did not realize you could not burn
Speaker 1: antiquities on public land. It's all there, all right, all
Speaker 1: those antiquities in Florida. You're on the clock again. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. This is a critical selection. Here we go later,
Speaker 1: al right, I can't complain the pick is in here?
Speaker 1: Did estein fourth overall selection twenty seventeen Solirable Fantasy Things Draft,
Speaker 1: Monsoon games and monsoon? Yeah? Do you know why I
Speaker 1: did this time? You did this to stick it to me?
Speaker 1: Climate change? Tie, It's real. I've been told what is
Speaker 1: a monsoon game? So monsoon game is a game? I
Speaker 1: don't know. Did you watch the Notre Dame Menci State game.
Speaker 1: Did you let's go right? Thank you, williams uh So.
Speaker 1: I'll go through it play by play with you if
Speaker 1: you like. Where and Kelly decided to call thirty eight
Speaker 1: pass plays or something. It wasn't even Nancy State. It
Speaker 1: was I believe the year well two years ago. Yes,
Speaker 1: two remnants of a hurricane game. Yeah it was so
Speaker 1: that was hurricane game monsoon. I don't know what the
Speaker 1: difference is. I'm not very bright, but it's gonna happen
Speaker 1: a few times. We had a cancelation this past year
Speaker 1: and a rescheduling with LSU Florida that was hurricane. But
Speaker 1: I feel like, as a non scientist that monsoons are
Speaker 1: part of hurricanes, so it all counts under the same
Speaker 1: umbrella and write it down, come back to it. But
Speaker 1: I feel I feel pretty confident that the mid Atlantic
Speaker 1: region is going to is gonna represent me pretty well.
Speaker 1: Late September, October November, we really should have done what
Speaker 1: I should have done Pacific Northwest, well, what I should
Speaker 1: have done is look to see what games Notre Dame
Speaker 1: has and when on the East coast. You could have
Speaker 1: gotten potential bonus points here by predicting the dates. Really,
Speaker 1: I do not know that was a part of this game.
Speaker 1: It could be we're making this up.
Speaker 2: You know what the points system is, Yeah, so you know,
Speaker 2: theoretically we could figure this out.
Speaker 1: So who is my team? So far? I'm drunk? Your team?
Speaker 1: Your team? So far?
Speaker 2: You've got Josh Rosen's hot takes, Ye Lane Kiffen, controversy, monsoon.
Speaker 1: Games, and there is one other one that I'm forgetting.
Speaker 1: But I'm not feeling it so far, really not feeling it. Okay, Oh,
Speaker 1: I have the coaching penalties and the coaching penalties. That's right, Okay,
Speaker 1: we should be You're on the clock right now, right,
Speaker 1: I am on the clock, and I'm going to get
Speaker 1: another one of myself. How do you feel about your squad?
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly, Brian Kelly, Mike Gundy. This is a coach
Speaker 1: heavy lineup, yes, so far, but I'm feeling pretty good
Speaker 1: about it. I am going to go to the media
Speaker 1: for my next selection, Taylor, the pick is in. I
Speaker 1: think this pick is bullshit. I'm on the record with
Speaker 1: the whatever overall pick. Ty hilden Brand has selected Tom
Speaker 1: Rinaldi tear Jerkers, which Tie is celebrating. Tie is celebrating illness.
Speaker 1: I'm not celebrating illness. I mean, you made it official,
Speaker 1: you wrote it down. We're trying to win a game. Dog. No. See,
Speaker 1: I respect this because you're ruthless. That's right, you are
Speaker 1: trying to win. It's a quality in me that you
Speaker 1: just can't see. It doesn't hit the eye.
Speaker 2: Anybody watch college game Day, Yes, a very low viewership
Speaker 2: in the room here, Tom tom Rinaldi tear jerkers to
Speaker 2: me is as staple a college football product as you're
Speaker 2: going to find. Sure about forty percent of the weeks
Speaker 2: during college game Day, tom Rinaldi trots out some sort
Speaker 2: of tear jerker that makes you realize that for the
Speaker 2: next twelve hours, whatever you'll be doing to your mind
Speaker 2: and body is really not worth it.
Speaker 1: See. I don't know if this is in the spirit
Speaker 1: of the draft, because this is like drafting seventeen yard passes, Like, yes,
Speaker 1: they're going to happen, but you just you went with
Speaker 1: the children. Wow, I didn't say the children. People think
Speaker 1: I'm a bad person on the show. They're trying to
Speaker 1: win a game, man. Okay, wow, okay.
Speaker 2: We could message Tom Rinaldi and see how he feels
Speaker 2: about it, and if he's not, if maybe if he's
Speaker 2: not for it, compensatory selection, because we have eighty five
Speaker 2: things over here, there will be several that go undrafted.
Speaker 1: Right, I'm just picturing you on your couch on a
Speaker 1: Saturday morning and Tom Rinaldi doing a piece where he's
Speaker 1: he's like, this marine did nine tours of duty, lost
Speaker 1: seventy three limbs, and has lived to watch Texas Tech football.
Speaker 1: And I'm pumping my antis, like, yes, that's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. All right, I love how evil this is.
Speaker 1: He makes a good point. All right, are you are
Speaker 1: we saying about I'm o' clock again? Okay, it's got
Speaker 1: so dark. Pick us in. Oh, this is a great pick.
Speaker 1: This really is shit. With a far more exciting pick,
Speaker 1: Ty Hildenbrant has selected bring PJ. Fleck bringing his high
Speaker 1: energy row the Boat mentality to Minnesota. Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1: Joke's on you. You have to watch Minnesota football now.
Speaker 1: So this is a thing.
Speaker 2: This is the thing, this whole mentality, this whole row
Speaker 2: the Boat thing. It's very much going to be something
Speaker 2: that you simply cannot avoid this coming college football season.
Speaker 2: He and his agent have apparently scored the rights to
Speaker 2: use the official row of the.
Speaker 1: Boat mantra that he had up at Western Michigan.
Speaker 2: I would presume that they're going to try and use
Speaker 2: it as much as humanly possible at Minnesota. I do
Speaker 2: have a concern though, about getting in bed.
Speaker 1: With this pick. Okay, I'm serious. What is what is
Speaker 1: your concerning Fleck? Many concerns. Yeah, I was gonna say, PJ.
Speaker 1: Fleck is a guy with a stick. He's got that stick,
Speaker 1: the high motor. It's worked well at Western Michigan. I'm
Speaker 1: sure it's going to work well at Minnesota.
Speaker 2: What I worry about is how other coaches, mainly Jim Harbaugh,
Speaker 2: are going to react to a guy with a better
Speaker 2: shticky because Jim Harbaugh reminds me of the kind of guy.
Speaker 2: And I said this in our live show, Jim Harball
Speaker 2: is what happens when you try to teach human emotion
Speaker 2: to a computer. Okay, it doesn't fully pass the Turing test,
Speaker 2: it doesn't fully understand the cues, but for the most part,
Speaker 2: it's you just don't know what it's going to do next.
Speaker 2: It's a bit unpredictable, and I'm worried that if Harbaugh
Speaker 2: steps up his game anymore. The kinds of things we're
Speaker 2: talking about in the podcast are going to be so
Speaker 2: weird that we're just like, we're done.
Speaker 1: So what is what is the brand? So obviously PJ.
Speaker 1: Fleck has the row the Boat, high energy guy, and
Speaker 1: he's running down the sidelines whatever. Sure, competition wise, he
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot in the Big ten in terms
Speaker 1: of big excitement. I couldn't have the mister Softy sound
Speaker 1: cued up, but this is a mister Softie schedule. So
Speaker 1: the harbab like outward brand is I'm crazy and I
Speaker 1: like milk, like right, all right, that's one strategy. Kirk
Speaker 1: Farens is like, I'm a little bit boring and they
Speaker 1: pay me a lot of money. Pat Fitzgerald is so
Speaker 1: of like, guys, I'm underrated, and if you didn't know,
Speaker 1: I played for Northwestern, I don't know any of those guys,
Speaker 1: right right, I'm never gonna leave Evanston, Illinois. Beyond that,
Speaker 1: Mike Riley is, hey, everybody, I'm nice. I'm nice. So
Speaker 1: you know what, it's a good time to be PJ.
Speaker 1: Flak bringing that row the Boat energetic mentality to Minneapolis.
Speaker 1: Why not? We will see what happens. But I'm hitching
Speaker 1: my wagon to the boat. Okay, my pick is in.
Speaker 1: I'm saying with the esoteric stuff, this is a volume
Speaker 1: play time, This is a volume play. This feels so
Speaker 1: good about this one.
Speaker 2: This is one that Dan added pretty much when we
Speaker 2: walked in here to get set up today.
Speaker 1: So this is very much off the cuffy. He is
Speaker 1: going with school commercials that feature a lab and or
Speaker 1: dance music. So the people have smoken to clarify. It's
Speaker 1: a commercial for a college that has to both feature
Speaker 1: scenes of laboratory work and either the dance school or
Speaker 1: the music school. Right, it's gonna hit every single game time.
Speaker 1: I'm blowing you out. How to so so how? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the lab, there has to be a microscope, there has
Speaker 1: to be collab. There's always this. They always have the
Speaker 1: white lab code, and it's just like, are we yes,
Speaker 1: we're looking pie squared.
Speaker 2: If you're gonna give me crap for Tom Rinaldi and
Speaker 2: the tear Jerkers, yeah, okay, if you're gonna go children
Speaker 2: being educated, if you're going volume play, yeah, with the
Speaker 2: generic school commercial, I.
Speaker 1: Don't see how that's much different. It might be more
Speaker 1: of a moral question. These are These are people learning
Speaker 1: to dance, These are people learning to play the cello.
Speaker 1: This is this is a positive thing, does the c C.
Speaker 1: It just means more commercial count in this category. If
Speaker 1: they film a commercial with her in a laboratory, it
Speaker 1: has to be that very specific model in a laboratory
Speaker 1: in the little Petriot issue. Yeah, and you know on
Speaker 1: stage dancing or playing. Then, yes, did you take any
Speaker 1: science classes or dance classes or music classes when you
Speaker 1: were in college? Numerous dance classes, of course. Did you
Speaker 1: study with a bunch of people on the quad? No? Never.
Speaker 1: This the commercial is great because it's so antithetical to
Speaker 1: basically college experience. Yeah, it's they're not real and that's
Speaker 1: what makes them beautiful. Oh am, I am I still
Speaker 1: on the clock here again, down here as Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: just going for picks that I like. They might not
Speaker 1: win me the draft. I'm going let's go with this
Speaker 1: one right here with his next Yeah, I'm running out
Speaker 1: of that's fine numbers here. Dan Rubinstein, twenty seventeen Colleor
Speaker 1: Football Fantasy Things Draft selects Brett Beilama and fatherhood. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brett Bilama has a baby. Congratulations, Brett Bielima it's changed him.
Speaker 1: It has made him more appreciative of life. It's changed
Speaker 1: his perspective. Discounts across all media. So during TV broadcasts,
Speaker 1: I have a pull quote here, Yeah, to underscore this
Speaker 1: is great, this is fantastic. Yeah, this is the most
Speaker 1: SEC thing ever. He welcomed a baby. Briella is her name.
Speaker 1: Very cute photo that he posted back in July. Do
Speaker 1: you feel about that name? We're not going to critique
Speaker 1: the name, Okay, yeah, I mean, just generally speaking, Briella.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna critique the kid's name. She's barely out
Speaker 2: of the womb.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the name of a villain in a
Speaker 1: script that Disney rejected Briella. I'm not going there, Okay
Speaker 1: I did. He posted a picture online, got a bunch
Speaker 1: of response. Mm hmm. Seccountry dot com a great SEC website. Yeah. Quote,
Speaker 1: it changes your perspective, Bilama said, I always knew it would.
Speaker 1: The very next freaking paragraph, I kid you not. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It will be interesting to see how Bilama carries that
Speaker 2: perspective into the coming football season without any anticipation, right
Speaker 2: from the birth of his first child, Yeah, onward into
Speaker 2: the SEC See how it translates.
Speaker 1: We should point out we hope the baby has a happy,
Speaker 1: healthy life. We hope the Bilama family enjoys growing. That's
Speaker 1: what Brett Bielhma does. He grows, but it does. It
Speaker 1: did feel a little bit like Brett Bielima was the
Speaker 1: first coach to have a child. And I like that
Speaker 1: the sec country that's who you said it was, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that they are all in, especially because Jen
Speaker 1: Bielama has the greatest hashtag quote or hashtag tweet of
Speaker 1: all time. Right, so I'm looking forward to seeing how
Speaker 1: this is pressed. Do you think though? That? Did you?
Speaker 1: So you interpreted it as he's the only coach ever
Speaker 1: to have a child. My interpretation, it seemed like he
Speaker 1: got more attention for having a child, like people were
Speaker 1: almost surprised. Well that's when he was fertile or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that the word I'm looking for. My interpretation was
Speaker 1: they were genuinely surprised at oh, like wait, this kick
Speaker 1: this guy can reproduce. Say, okay, my up, I think
Speaker 1: you're up. How many picks do we have each? This
Speaker 1: is getting ridiculous. I believe we're up to seven picks each? Okay,
Speaker 1: six or seven? A couple more. I do need to
Speaker 1: go back through this and actually take notes, which we
Speaker 1: can do at some point. And I love that I
Speaker 1: got the school commercial tie value pick. All right, I'm
Speaker 1: going back here. Does a pick in my picks are weird? Ooh?
Speaker 1: I know, I think I know where you're going. Okay,
Speaker 1: With the next pick, Ty has selected Gus Johnson. Freakouts,
Speaker 1: thank you, that's my Could you play that again? Flip?
Speaker 2: That was back in the day when Gus Johnson was
Speaker 2: just calling college basketball games during the NCAA tournament during
Speaker 2: the regular season. He had a long, storied career of
Speaker 2: doing that for CBS, and then there were some rumors
Speaker 2: about what happened with Gus Johnson.
Speaker 1: Maybe Jim Nance pushed him out, who knows, but he
Speaker 1: finds his way over to Fox.
Speaker 2: For a while, they had this little experiment where Johnson
Speaker 2: Gus Johnson's gonna call.
Speaker 1: Soccer, Okay, I thought you're gonna say. For a while,
Speaker 1: Fox had an experiment where they employed writers, right, no, no, no.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, let's not get let's not get crazy.
Speaker 1: Let's not get crazy, okay, which was crazy.
Speaker 2: They tried this experiment with the soccer We love you
Speaker 2: man now sorry. It didn't work out, and now we're at.
Speaker 1: This really cool space where he's calling college athletics again.
Speaker 1: But it's not basketball, it's football. Did anybody watch the
Speaker 1: Big Ten championship game? Hey, there we go, pennstanay lyons here.
Speaker 2: This to me is about a sure thing as you're
Speaker 2: going to find. And what's great about it is you
Speaker 2: never know when it's going to happen. He is never
Speaker 2: short on a motion when he's calling any kind of
Speaker 2: sporting event, and it always is just fun. It's fun
Speaker 2: to watch Gus Johnson when he's calling a game. And
Speaker 2: we've had a thing on our show for a while
Speaker 2: now where every.
Speaker 1: Now and again we're like, could this be a Gus game?
Speaker 1: Could be a Gus game where he just totally loses,
Speaker 1: scored and starts yelling for no pairent reason. So I'm
Speaker 1: excited to have this. I'm heavy on coaches, I'm heavy
Speaker 1: on media. You are, but my team is demonstrably better
Speaker 1: than yours. Absolutely not good. Hell now I have Brett
Speaker 1: Beelama reproducing, So it's all gravy. I mean, it is
Speaker 1: literally all gravy. Again. I don't know what that means,
Speaker 1: but it sounded right in my head. Okay, so so
Speaker 1: my pick is is my final pick? I believe I'm
Speaker 1: up again? You're up again? And then maybe your final pick? Yes, okay?
Speaker 1: And then what we can do because we have a
Speaker 1: full room here, Yeah, we're gonna invite someone up for
Speaker 1: you and someone up for me to make our final pick.
Speaker 1: You can like that a fan selection. And then my
Speaker 1: wife is here. She's gonna do a tight five minutes
Speaker 1: of stand up. All right? Is that right?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Okay, sorry I misheard? Alright, so here take five? Hi Jody? Wait,
Speaker 1: so is this your final pick? My final pick? So
Speaker 1: should we have somebody up to read it? We'll have
Speaker 1: another pick in addition? Oh, another pick? So ceremonial pick. Okright,
Speaker 1: that's right. This is the pick I thought Ty was
Speaker 1: going to take. This is a great one tie with
Speaker 1: his latest traffick has selected. New Strength coach is really
Speaker 1: paying dividends. That's solid. No, that is a very good pick.
Speaker 1: If you go.
Speaker 2: On Google right now and just run a simple query
Speaker 2: for a new Strength coach, you will find exactly what
Speaker 2: I'm talking.
Speaker 1: Have you seen the articles? Maybe on tech blogs? I
Speaker 1: don't know if you're into such things, but I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've seen that they have these algorithms now
Speaker 1: that can take the place of humans and they can
Speaker 1: actually programmatically write out a game summarycently.
Speaker 2: You don't have to send a writer to go and
Speaker 2: do it. It's a it's an automated thing, and it's
Speaker 2: it's pretty good. This could be one of those articles
Speaker 2: because every single year, whatever they were doing last year,
Speaker 2: it seems like the line came back this year.
Speaker 1: Waish. Yeah, they're playing more physical tie. You can just
Speaker 1: really see something. He found something this year, right, I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but the guys are really motivated.
Speaker 1: There are articles all throughout the internet right now. There's
Speaker 1: a new guy at Georgia, new guy maybe at Notre Dame.
Speaker 1: There's a good healthy list of coaches that are new
Speaker 1: to their respective schools, their strength coaches, and they are
Speaker 1: paying dividends right absolutely. You know what I like about
Speaker 1: this too, is they inevitably and this is sort of
Speaker 1: another pick, but I don't know if it's going to
Speaker 1: be taken. They show the videos of guys working out,
Speaker 1: and man, one video is so different than the next
Speaker 1: of a guy just putting up a bunch of weight
Speaker 1: on the bar and lifting as you can tell Tye
Speaker 1: and I lift tons, so we really know, we really
Speaker 1: have a sense of what traps are, for instance, and
Speaker 1: what power cleaning is. That's right, So that's right. That's
Speaker 1: a good pick, though you'll hear it'll it'll probably be
Speaker 1: early on in the season more than anything. You know,
Speaker 1: if somebody starts playing a little bit better, the strength
Speaker 1: coach gets a lot of the credit. But it could
Speaker 1: it could happen a lot. It could go the other
Speaker 1: way too.
Speaker 2: I'm hazarding a guess that it's going to go in
Speaker 2: a positive direction and that people will be excited about
Speaker 2: their new strength coach. But if there's a program like
Speaker 2: Notre Dame also comes to mind, we could be talking
Speaker 2: about mid October and everyone's hurt.
Speaker 1: Again. It's like, what is that strength coach doing? It
Speaker 1: is paying dividends with the wrong kind of it. Everybody's
Speaker 1: got great traps. That's it again, I do not know
Speaker 1: what traps are. Your final pick. Okay, this is my
Speaker 1: final pick. I'm gonna stick with a certain theme here.
Speaker 1: Can we can we boo Dan one more time? Please?
Speaker 1: Thank you? So this includes yeah, the pick is in
Speaker 1: the is in that hurts with his final pick. This
Speaker 1: is actually This might be the last before the ceremonial pick.
Speaker 1: This is before the seria was making sure. This might
Speaker 1: be the longest this gentleman lasts in an actual draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: with his final, actual whatever pick in our whatever draft,
Speaker 1: Dan Rubinstein has selected Sam Donald's draft stock and or athleticism. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he has played other sports, thank you. He has played
Speaker 1: other sports. I'm more interested if a quarterback. I don't
Speaker 1: care that they've played basketball. Everybody plays basketball or baseball
Speaker 1: or runs track in high school. That's sort of ubiquitous
Speaker 1: at this point. If there was a story that said
Speaker 1: Sam Donald loves magic of the Gathering, I'd say, fuck yes,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, I'm with you, manna, et cetera. But that's
Speaker 1: not the case. And people just appreciate that his grandfather
Speaker 1: was the Marlborough Man and that he played basketball. Well,
Speaker 1: his grandfather was a Marboro Man. His grandfather was also
Speaker 1: named dick Hammer. It was dick Hammer, which is a
Speaker 1: great name, which is notable. I'm gonna I'm gonna throw
Speaker 1: up the brakes a little bit on this pick. Why
Speaker 1: when was the last time that hype worked out well
Speaker 1: for anything related to USC. It's not a bad point,
Speaker 1: it's not a bad point. But like even going into
Speaker 1: I guess the last guy was probably Matt Barkley who
Speaker 1: received that amount of attention. He still got a lot
Speaker 1: of Like if he had come out last year, he
Speaker 1: might have gone and number one overall, so we would, right,
Speaker 1: But that's conversation about draft stock, Okay. And so I
Speaker 1: think Sam Donald unless he starts the season out poorly,
Speaker 1: unless he has a garbage game against Texas or Stanford
Speaker 1: they both have, they're playing both of them in September. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The danger here though, is kind of like taking a
Speaker 1: system quarterback in the NFL draft, because we tried this
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago when Josh Rosen was a freshman.
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen's draft stock. This kid could be the next
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. May I follow up workout got last year?
Speaker 1: What if Sam Donald is bad though, and draft stock
Speaker 1: is tumbling, that's still draft stock right Yeah? Okay, wow,
Speaker 1: just making sure. Okay, So while I try.
Speaker 2: To compile our picks and figure out what our actual
Speaker 2: teams are, why don't you select some want to come
Speaker 2: up here and make a ceremonial final pick for you.
Speaker 1: Yes, I told this person that she would be able
Speaker 1: to make the choice on stage. Hopefully she still wants
Speaker 1: to from espianation, Jess Mattana, There she is, and this
Speaker 1: is really funny. She is the youngest Notre Dame fan
Speaker 1: in the world by thirty five years. Here all right, now,
Speaker 1: hold on, I don't know, Oh this is the pick?
Speaker 1: Is this on a card?
Speaker 2: That is probably on a card? Okay, so you're gonna
Speaker 2: actually dictate what she has to pick, because I'm gonna
Speaker 2: let a Oh, I'm gonna let a fan pick mine.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: Has anybody kept track of these picks?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: Great, we'll get to that later. We have deep deliberations
Speaker 1: over here. Okay, Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 3: With the actual final pick in the draft. Dan has
Speaker 3: selection video of a fan reacting poorly to a loss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good one, Jess, how do you feel about that pick? Well,
Speaker 1: I'll tell a story real quick.
Speaker 3: So last year, it was a couple days after Thanksgiving,
Speaker 3: my father, a Notre Dame fan as well, through a
Speaker 3: Christmas ornament at our television during the USC Notre Dame loss,
Speaker 3: the eighth loss of the season, like the season was
Speaker 3: already over, but he broke our TV and I took
Speaker 3: a picture and I was like, Dad.
Speaker 1: Can I tweet this?
Speaker 3: And he was like, of course not so I did obviously,
Speaker 3: and so yeah, my only regard is not having a
Speaker 3: video of that could have gone viral.
Speaker 2: Have I ever told my story about Notre Dame's loss?
Speaker 2: I think in two thousand and four to BYU on
Speaker 2: our podcast is this was before like the internet in
Speaker 2: two thousand, as people know, I went to Penn State
Speaker 2: and Penn thank.
Speaker 1: You boo booy Okay State. It's fine, but Penn State
Speaker 1: earlier in the day of like noon, had beaten Akron
Speaker 1: or somebody Toledo forty eight to ten. It was a blowout.
Speaker 2: Notre Dame that evening had a later game, like a
Speaker 2: six thirty ish game against BYU.
Speaker 1: It was one of Brady Quinn's first games and it
Speaker 1: was one of those maddening offensive games where it's just
Speaker 1: like it feels like everything's going in slow motion and
Speaker 1: nothing works. It just can't get anything going. What is
Speaker 1: Charlie Weiss or I guess it wasn't Charlie Weiss, that
Speaker 1: was Ty willing what's Ty Willingham doing? They end up
Speaker 1: losing a close game to BYU. Yeah, I know, a shocker.
Speaker 2: I am in the middle of a bar rascaler for
Speaker 2: anyone who's familiar with UH State College. And at the
Speaker 2: time I had one of those old cheap LG flip phones.
Speaker 2: I stood up in the middle of the bar and
Speaker 2: did a jump throw into the concrete.
Speaker 1: Then I left the ground.
Speaker 2: Smashed the phone into a million pieces. It was one
Speaker 2: of those record scratch moments where everyone looks like everyone's
Speaker 2: looking like, what's going what's going on there? Rich Gardner,
Speaker 2: former cornerback, cornerback, excuse me four Penn State came up
Speaker 2: to me.
Speaker 1: It looks at me. He's like, you crazy, man, You're crazy,
Speaker 1: You're crazy my phone? All right, round of applause for
Speaker 1: tized phone dude, Thank you guys. A round of applause
Speaker 1: for Jess Matana. All right, I will be taking a volunteer.
Speaker 1: I for one, am shocked that a middle aged Notre
Speaker 1: Dame fan got angry. No, it's for a total stunner.
Speaker 1: Shout out to Jess's dad. All right, Uh, you want
Speaker 1: to take voluntary you want to see I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: a volunteer. Who who's interested? Right there, right down the middle,
Speaker 1: right down the middle, ma'am. My vision is poor Dylan.
Speaker 1: All right, here are your options. All of these all
Speaker 1: of these, ty don't you have to tell him the pick? No,
Speaker 1: you're giving it over. I am I'm a man of
Speaker 1: the people. Oh man, Tye, I am not. It's communist
Speaker 1: rule you got going on? That's true? Got a good pick?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah? Please with the latest pick. Tie's final pick
Speaker 1: in this year's Fancy Things Draft, Michigan States twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: was just in a not I like that because now
Speaker 1: Tie's gonna have to defend that is Is this the
Speaker 1: the opposite of Michigan State disrespect? Yeah, it absolutely is.
Speaker 1: This is a polar opposite of Michigan State disrespect is belief.
Speaker 1: If you are in on this pick, you can't also
Speaker 1: root for Michigan State. Like the two things are going
Speaker 1: to negate each other. Right. Do you think twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: was an anomaly for Michigan State because I don't, Wow, Really,
Speaker 1: I don't. Okay, I think anomaly is probably too strong
Speaker 1: a word. I think there will be a course correction,
Speaker 1: which means they'll make up that there's a drive for
Speaker 1: six and they're going to make a Bowl game. But no,
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to be challenging ghost S Party.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think they're challenging for the
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. The problem. Yeah, No, they're definitely not like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they're like if they make a bowl this year. This
Speaker 1: is their second straight rebuilding year, and while last year
Speaker 1: may have been an anomaly, it fell in a weird
Speaker 1: way where this year was always supposed to be the
Speaker 1: rebuilding yar, they actually had a lot of seniors on
Speaker 1: last year's right this year. This year, it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of newcomers, new quarterback, but I mean pretty much across board.
Speaker 1: We did a Big ten preview on Wednesday, talked about.
Speaker 2: This very subject. I don't think it's gonna look good
Speaker 2: for them at all this year. So thank you Dylan
Speaker 2: for making this pick. I don't even know if I
Speaker 2: can fully get behind it.
Speaker 1: I know I was gonna say you, I've had myself
Speaker 1: out of Dylan's pick. And if people are going to
Speaker 1: respond and say we're doing it being unduly harsh, unnecessarily
Speaker 1: harsh to Michigan State, especially since Dan married to Michigan Wolverine,
Speaker 1: that's right to that. I say, Michigan is an outstanding
Speaker 1: school that prepares young people for life outside of the university,
Speaker 1: and they are the leaders of the West Is that true.
Speaker 1: Is that how it goes? Yeah? Yeah, that's fine? All right?
Speaker 1: Do you want to review our squads? I'm gonna try. Okay.
Speaker 1: I have Chip Kelly h coaching rumors, Yes, softer Brian Kelly,
Speaker 1: which I think is my favorite pick. Ever, I get
Speaker 1: to follow that all year, which freaking sucks. Mike Gundy's mullet,
Speaker 1: which will be shaved by week two. Knowing my luck,
Speaker 1: people will still talk about the mullet. That was maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so.
Speaker 2: PJ Flex High Energy Row the boat men. Can you
Speaker 2: give me the Jesse Palmer version of that?
Speaker 1: Please? PJ Flex High Energy Row the boat mentality. Thank you,
Speaker 1: that was very good, Thank you. I've also got what
Speaker 1: was my pick here? You gotta love it. I have
Speaker 1: too many options on this, oh new strength coach really
Speaker 1: paying dividends, Tom Are and all the tear jerkers, Gus
Speaker 1: Johnson freakouts, and I'm sure I'm missing one. But now
Speaker 1: Michigan State twenty sixteen. Okay, anomaly all right? Uh you
Speaker 1: have I have Rosen, I have Donald's Brett Bielaman fatherhood
Speaker 1: love that pick. You have Lane Kiffin Lane Kiffin controversy.
Speaker 1: You have the school commercial with the lab and oh yeah,
Speaker 1: which could be could be a sleeper pick monsoon games
Speaker 1: and we'll have to go back and look to see.
Speaker 1: You know. I also have the video of fans taking
Speaker 1: a lost poorly video. I should also mentioned if people
Speaker 1: remember last year was an NFL so wouldn't count for me,
Speaker 1: but a little girl reacted very poorly to the Falcons
Speaker 1: losing to the Seahawks and was screaming, I hate it.
Speaker 1: Richard Chairman, if you remember that video, I'm now related
Speaker 1: to that little girl. She is my wife's little cousin.
Speaker 1: So shout out to Courtney Klein and Zach Klein that
Speaker 1: I'm actually related to her, and she's great and over it.
Speaker 1: She has gotten over it.
Speaker 2: So I think that pretty much. I think that pretty
Speaker 2: much does it. It does it for the fin for
Speaker 2: actual roster, yes.
Speaker 1: Of of teams, players, coaches, storylines. What have you our plan?
Speaker 1: I think moving forward? Well, Rundo of applause for our
Speaker 1: new applause, absolutely, thank you. We did a lot of scouts.
Speaker 1: There are myriad ways that people can keep track of
Speaker 1: how these picks are doing. There's a reddit.
Speaker 2: There's a subreddit right now which has been really active.
Speaker 2: If anyone here is active on that. Thank you so
Speaker 2: much for following our nonsense as closely as you.
Speaker 1: Do, and for not harassing women. Shout out to that
Speaker 1: that's right if you're on Reddit and not harassing women. Whim.
Speaker 2: We will have the sv fantasy hashtag going all year round.
Speaker 2: Last year we did, and people would tweet in if
Speaker 2: they saw something. We obviously can't keep tabs on everything
Speaker 2: going on all the time. We have no idea how
Speaker 2: we'll keep score, but that gives you all the more
Speaker 2: reason to tune into the podcast as we figured this
Speaker 2: out with each passing week.
Speaker 1: Let us know your thoughts. We're at solid verbal at
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. We're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, just rolling
Speaker 1: right in. Say a fan cred? Is that still there?
Speaker 1: I think fan credit is dead efficiently. So thank you
Speaker 1: to everyone.
Speaker 2: Here in New York for stopping by for watching this madness.
Speaker 2: A big thank you to our friend Taylor, our producer
Speaker 2: in the back, who's our resident Maryland fan.
Speaker 1: Please express your condolences on your way out.
