<v Speaker 1>you ty?

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Whenever blue tear drops or falling and my emotional stability

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>is leaving me, there's something I can do. I can

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>get on the telephone, Tie and call you up.

0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Now. I thought you were doing song lyrics there, but

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>then I it just it registered that call you up,

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Tie is not something that Taylor Swift song lyrics.

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>No, it's song lyrics. I hesitate to go any further

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 2>because it gets it's to a weird space because those

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 2>are lyrics from Sexual Healing by mih Okay.

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's different.

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:07.839
<v Speaker 2>But I was just I was listening to the the

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 2>A Brass Band, I think it's the Hot eight Brass Band,

0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 2>and they do their own version, that New Orleans version

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>of sexual Healing, and it you know the solid toddler's

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 2>getting into the tuba because it's in one of his books.

0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>There's somebody playing a tuba, and so I played him

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 2>that song because of course that's a song you play

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:27.199
<v Speaker 2>your toddler with the tuba New Orleans version of sexual Healing.

0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>So I just listened to it, and it's fantastic.

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Tight. It's a great day to be behind a microphone.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Are you gonna be a Are you gonna be a tuba?

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:33.320
<v Speaker 2>Dad?

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>But he he responding, He is responding well enough to that,

0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.440
<v Speaker 2>like bomb boom, Mike. I'm a bass guitar at a

0:01:41.480 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 2>certain point, Okay, let down that low end.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you're with a guitar. You're saying that it's great

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>that you like the tuba and that your musically inclined son. Yes,

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:54.920
<v Speaker 1>need a little bit more edge out of you. We're

0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna go bass guitar.

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, lay down a little bit of funk.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I might have to have another kid tie just so

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I can get some percussion going, just to start a

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>family band.

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>To start the family band, Yeah, that seems like the move. Well, hello,

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.240
<v Speaker 1>look we're back here. We hope everyone's staying warm, staying healthy,

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>doing their best to get through this long, cold off season. Here,

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>We've got a fun show this evening. We don't have

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of news that we're gonna get through

0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>anything like you normally don't.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 2>You normally don't determine that until the end when you

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>go look, fun show. No, I'm waiting for the verdict.

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I am reasonably confident that this is gonna be a

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>fun Okay, all right, reasonably confidence. So look, before we

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.839
<v Speaker 1>get into the brass tacks and down to business here,

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>soliverble dot com is the website going out there if

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.519
<v Speaker 1>you're just finding us the first time. Numbers I believe

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>are up this offseason, so people are hey looking forward

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>to starting a new here in twenty twenty one. Going

<v Speaker 1>but no doubt we'll tick back up and start doing

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>more of that the closer we get to the season.

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>Also important side note, Dan, maybe this is the breaking news.

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm not yelling it because you know why, but thank you,

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, buddy. Okay for ballers dot com. That is

<v Speaker 1>the url for our Patreon. As it said on the

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.079
<v Speaker 1>last show, we're trying to do more of the off

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.000
<v Speaker 1>topic stuff with a regular cadence. It's only available to

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Patreon subscribers at the current moment. Here is what we

0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 1>are doing on Friday, and we have put together the

0:03:42.120 --> 0:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>topic sheet. I am so excited for this show. We

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:52.680
<v Speaker 1>are talking about our exploits as young athletes, both in

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the youth and high school days even up through college

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and intramural and just pick up sports. So we're talking

0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>about our own personal athletic careers out on.

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Patreon I and youth sports and high school sports in

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.280
<v Speaker 2>general in general. Yeah, not just hours, but that is

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>going to be a feature.

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh absolutely. So I put a post up on the

0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Patreon Super Secret Patreon board and we started getting some comments,

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>people posting their own stories, their own thoughts on the matter.

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.640
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really excited to do this show, probably gonna

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>end up being the longer variety. But again, you can

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>only get access to it if you're going out to

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>verballers dot com and sign up to be a Patreon.

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna make you turn your camera on is

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 2>what I'm gonna do. We're gonna have a video version.

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I have a hair situation going on right now. And

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>if I told you about this, all the better. Yeah.

0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I look like I'm in a Beatles cover band right now. Perfect.

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I love it. It's done, it's happening. That's even more

0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.240
<v Speaker 2>reason sold. Okay, Yeah, it's gonna be a fantastic show.

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>We've been sketching this one out for a little bit.

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, don't forget to follow along on social media. You

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>know how to get to social media. Follow along there

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:01.040
<v Speaker 1>and stay tuned for more info because I have another

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:02.919
<v Speaker 1>set of games to play as Navy out on the

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>twitch stream. Nice. Okay, you' been going but it just

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>might work. But it just might work, Dan, What what

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.799
<v Speaker 1>what are we talking about here? What just so might work?

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 2>So there's I'm trying to draw a line between Obviously

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>we love the phrase hot takes, that's been around for

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 2>a long time, but that's more about Here is something controversial.

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Here is something that is out of left field in

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 2>a way that I'm trying to stir the pot in

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.040
<v Speaker 2>a delightfully evil way. This is not a hot take show.

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes we do hot take show This is not that show.

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I had a prompt for fans to be homers and

0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to give me something outlandish, preposterous about their team that

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 2>only a homer could provide. Either positive. It's mostly positive,

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, my team's can go eleven and one,

0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna make the playoffs, and we've got a lot

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 2>of that. That's fine, but we do have some some

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.719
<v Speaker 2>negative nancies out there, which is all the same. Homers

0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:02.720
<v Speaker 2>can be harder on their own team, like you are

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 2>harder on Notre Dame. Perhaps in the average Notre Dame fan.

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 2>I am harder perhaps on Oregon, the average Oregon fan,

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 2>just because we try to look at things in a

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>more holistic We try more holistic viewpoints, and we never

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>want to get ahead over our skis. So we asked

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 2>for this on both Twitter and Instagram. I believe we've

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 2>got a ton of responses, a bunch of email, and

0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 2>so we're going to go through this. And even though

0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not a hot take, I sent you the Scoville

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:35.640
<v Speaker 2>heat unit scale of peppers. You should have the spicy

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:40.240
<v Speaker 2>sound available to you. I do have it your soundboard. Yeah,

0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>So the twenty fourth this is according to masterclass dot

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 2>com I don't know who's teaching this masterclass, but the

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth most spicy, the hottest, the twenty fourth with

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:57.599
<v Speaker 2>zero Scoville heat units is a bell pepper, your standard

0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>bell pepper, red, green, yellow, orange, what have you? And

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:06.200
<v Speaker 2>short of pure capsaicin, which is the chemical that provides

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 2>spice in pepper's that's found in the seeds, the Carolina

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Reaper at two point two million Scoville heat units is

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>the possible, the highest possible in terms of spice. Jlapano's

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>at ten thousand, Carolina Reaper at two point two million.

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 2>So we are going to go through this listing of

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 2>preposterous outlandish homer feelings about the teams we have. We

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:35.800
<v Speaker 2>actually have a Homer sound somewhere, don't we When we

0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>did our like only homer is allowed serious. That's somewhere

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>I could try concert one, Okay, But we have a

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>document with all sorts of preposterous outlandish feelings. And news wise,

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the only breaking news I've seen recently is that Illinois

0:07:49.320 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 2>and Nebraska are no longer playing in Dublin. They are

0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing in Champagne.

0:07:56.480 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>And we just made fun of that game, didn't we.

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>We said it was a classic Irish man.

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:06.400
<v Speaker 2>Classic Irish premium European city moved back to a premium

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>eastern central Illinois city. So take that. Danville, Illinois Champagne

0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 2>has this one.

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>So okay, again, we're talking about things that are so crazy.

0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they're good enough to work, maybe not. We will

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>be grading them on a spiciness scale. Yeah, correct thing.

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to start off with one of your own?

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Sure, give me one of your Oregon You want me

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 2>to talk about Mike Oregon. Yes, preposterous, outlandish thing. Oregon's

0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.880
<v Speaker 2>going to go eight in four, which is a pretty

0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>big step back. I don't think they're going to miss

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a bowl game. It seems outlandish to say, because they've

0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 2>been putting together pretty crazy impressive recruiting classes. But quarterback

0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>has unsettled enough working in a new defensive coordinator. The

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.400
<v Speaker 2>offensive line was somewhat shaky at times last year, and

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.720
<v Speaker 2>it's hard to look too far into twenty twenty results

0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:07.640
<v Speaker 2>and trends, but I'm down right now on Oregon's chances

0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 2>of repeating and winning the Pac Twelve for a third

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 2>consecutive season. So with Ohio State in the non conference,

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 2>some tough road games, it's not fully preposterous, outlandish, but

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>I could see things going kind of haywire this year

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>as things sort of point to twenty twenty two for Oregon.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, eight and four, I mean it's hard to get

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>too high up on that Scoville heat index.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:37.400
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, it's not too spicy with.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 1>Eight and four. What if I told you Notre Dame

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to go eleven to one? Okay, I mean

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>they just went undefeated, right, they just went undefeated. A

0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of turnover though, and obviously Jack Collin leads them

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to an eleven to one record. I don't see. Here's

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>the thing. I looked over the roster and I feel

0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>like they're okay in the line. I feel like they

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>found their running back in Kiren Willyiams. I feel like

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>receiver has to get better again. Some turnover on defense

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that is problematic, But I feel like they've recruited pretty well.

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:12.719
<v Speaker 1>Like the schedule is very workable. As we said, a

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>couple of shows ago at Florida State to open the

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>year will be a challenge. Tough to go to Tallahassee.

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 1>They've got a neutral site game in Chicago, so maybe

0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>you'll go to this one against Wisconsin end of September,

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.959
<v Speaker 1>they're at Virginia Tech. They've obviously got the USC game,

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 1>They've got Sam Hall in North Carolina. But there's no

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>like Clemson on this ruck.

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Give me a preposterous direction, though, because this and I

0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>understand that Oregon was downsort of this year and won

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 2>the PAC twelve. But is Notre Dame going to? Which

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 2>direction do they dramatically move in? Are they getting over

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a playoff hump or are they going nowhere near the playoffs?

0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>What is more likely?

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:56.840
<v Speaker 1>In your view?

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, there goes some foam off my walls in an

0:10:59.080 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 2>outlandish direction.

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's a good question. I think it's

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>if I'm if I'm sticking to my guns here, I

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:10.640
<v Speaker 1>say eleven and one and not looking anywhere good enough

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to be in the playoff.

0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 2>I think it goes the other way. I think I mean,

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 2>just in I think Notre Dame could also go eight

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 2>in four.

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh for sure. I think that's more likely. And I

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think I think in terms of your your heat index,

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>this is definitely spicier than we're can go to eight

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 1>in four because Notre Dame does have turnover and I

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's that widely assumed that they're going to

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.560
<v Speaker 1>win eleven games this coming year.

0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Here here are the list of teams that I think

0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>it's realistic that they're competitive with Notre Dame because they've

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 2>improved this year with the benefit of a fuller but

0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 2>certainly not full off season. Spring football is going to

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.040
<v Speaker 2>be different, summer workouts different, and hopefully fall camp is

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:57.160
<v Speaker 2>something familiar. But Florida State, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech.

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:57.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll see.

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 2>With Virginia Tech, it's a proximer promiser team USC North Carolina, Navy, Virginia,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.960
<v Speaker 2>Georgia Tech. I don't think Stanford is realistically improving to

0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 2>any Georgie dramatic competitive place. That's a good number of

0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:14.839
<v Speaker 2>teams who could give a greener Notre Dame team trouble, right,

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>Keaton Slovas, Sam Howell, Grammarts, Mackenzie Milton to come on,

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Think four is more.

0:12:26.000 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 2>I think a four is more likely than playoff flirtation

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:29.319
<v Speaker 2>by a considerable margin.

0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:33.480
<v Speaker 1>For it's definitely more likely. Yeah, And all I'm saying

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>is I could see him going eleven to one and

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.839
<v Speaker 1>not really looking the part. But I think the schedule's work.

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>So you pick your year. Yeah, that's my that's my prediction,

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>my outlining, avishly spicy claim eleven to one not okay,

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to give you like eight times before

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the start of the year, but at time of recording

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>here mid February, I'll go to I'll go with that one.

0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 2>I think we're in the eight thousand Chipotle Wahio range wise. Okay,

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 2>so we're not there, not a lot of spice to

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 2>what we've been talking about with our teams. Should we

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 2>go to some listeners, please?

0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay? I love this one.

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 2>The Miami Hurricanes will lose only one regular season game

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty one. They will run the vast majority

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.440
<v Speaker 2>of their starters. They returned Derek King, the entire offensive line,

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>pay no attention to what the offensive line is able

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to do most of the defense, and everyone on offense

0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.839
<v Speaker 2>outside of Brevn Jordan was very good at tight end.

0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Manny keeps winning the off season, we'll have to translate

0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:35.080
<v Speaker 2>to wins. So it's from Orrin Greno Miami eleven and one.

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>You don't even really need to look at their schedule

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.719
<v Speaker 2>because then we're just getting too far in the way

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 2>of talking about Notre Dame. In the way we looked

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 2>at their schedule, but Miami, do you when you watch

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 2>them near the end of last year, We're like, Okay,

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.080
<v Speaker 2>this team is pretty close to putting it all together,

0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and they can with a couple of breaks, they're gonna

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>have a crazy good season.

0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Wow, he's saying one loss. Huh. Yeah, that's spicy. It's

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>getting hot in here.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.480
<v Speaker 2>I think there's too many questions, but I in terms

0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.240
<v Speaker 2>of spice and how much I would love to taste it.

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.560
<v Speaker 2>They opened with Alabama, to be clear. Otherwise I'm not

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>gonna go through game by game. Not a lot of

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:17.320
<v Speaker 2>obvious killers.

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:17.640
<v Speaker 1>On this schedule.

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'm I'm gonna say it's spicy.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.360
<v Speaker 1>But you can eat it.

0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 2>You you'll you'll sleep, You'll be okay in the morning.

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.960
<v Speaker 2>So I'm gonna say it's a Serrano twenty three thousand

0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Scoville heat units.

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:34.880
<v Speaker 1>Twenty three thousand school heat.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>It's twenty number seventeen of twenty four on this list.

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna go Santaka Dan, which is a bit

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>oh fifty thousand Scoville heat units, tied with Tabasco. There

0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:48.800
<v Speaker 1>we go.

0:14:50.560 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 2>It looks like it's a Japanese pepper. The Santaka Santa.

0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean it sounds Japanese.

0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Okay, yeah, yeah, I mean I think you're right about that,

0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:03.040
<v Speaker 1>But they're there are also some land mines on this schedule.

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Open the year neutral cider, like you said, against Alabama,

0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a road tilt at North Carolina. North Carolina loses

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 1>a ton, but they still have Sam Howell, so I'm

0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm hesitant to really pencil that one in as a win.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>They're at Pitt, which weird things happen at Pitt, They're

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>at Florida State, and they've got Virginia Tech. So the

0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:31.720
<v Speaker 1>back half of their schedule it toughens up. Really. In

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.640
<v Speaker 1>the beginning part of the year, it's just Alabama and

0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, well, I guess Michigan State and Apps date.

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:39.480
<v Speaker 1>But it still feels like the latter half is where

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the land mines are. So I don't see eleven and one.

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a very spicy take, but I appreciate

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>the optimism.

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's say, with what and we don't need to go

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 2>game by game again, this is not the point of

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>this exercise, but let's say Miami comes very close to

0:15:56.760 --> 0:16:00.040
<v Speaker 2>fulfilling its potential in terms of talent level and in

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:03.920
<v Speaker 2>terms of the sum being greater than its parts injury.

0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Luck perhaps.

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 2>You could see eleven and one like that is with

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 2>that is if you're looking in binoculars and I.

0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Could see it. Yeah, I could see that.

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there are a number of teams on this schedule

0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:26.560
<v Speaker 2>with clear bright flaws. I can see it in the

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 2>horizon tie. I can definitely see it, which is why

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I only went with Serrano. But I appreciate your Santaka.

0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I just Miami's in that category with Texas where it's

0:16:37.160 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 1>like we're don't hold your breath waiting for them to

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>get quote unquote back because it never seems to happen.

0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>So I will believe this one. When I say I'm

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.680
<v Speaker 1>rooting for this, by the way, I really am, because

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I think the ACC needs more competition to make you

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.400
<v Speaker 1>more ancisse. Yeah, but I just ooh, eleven and one.

0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:57.800
<v Speaker 2>That's yeah, the pieces they lose on defense, it's not

0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 2>my favorite. Well two hots, those ends really, I mean

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:02.520
<v Speaker 2>they've recruited well, but those.

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Defensive ends were special. If they go eleven and one,

0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Deerik King's probably one of the Heisman and it.

0:17:07.480 --> 0:17:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Probably means he has the best surgeon America. Well, I

0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it was doctor James Andrews, but it's

0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.000
<v Speaker 2>going to take a minute, I think for him to

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 2>really feel comfortable and get back to his playmaking self. Next,

0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:20.840
<v Speaker 2>you want to go to the next spice level.

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:27.479
<v Speaker 1>Eric, Eric, Yeah, the Washington Huskies will win the Pac twelve,

0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 1>go to the Rose Bowl. They have the best defense

0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>in the conference. They would have beaten Oregon last year

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>if COVID had not canceled the game. And they are

0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>getting their five star Heward in to start at quarterback

0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to help raise the offense. So, okay, this is putting

0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 1>a lot of faith in Jimmy Lake, right. We didn't

0:17:48.480 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>see a full season out of Jimmy Lake.

0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:54.600
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, the defensive coordinator Bob Gregory from an internal hire.

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.719
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so there's a lot of new there. You know,

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the PAC twelve better than any Buddy Dan? Yeah?

0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:03.760
<v Speaker 2>What is the ayah?

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.840
<v Speaker 1>What is maybe not better than Yogi Roth, but everybody else.

0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>You're up there? Sure? What is the landscape just in

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the PAC twelve North? Is it conducive to the Husky's

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 1>going on a run like this? Yeah?

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, here here's who the Huskies have at home in

0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 2>the North Oregon. Washington State, cal They've got the threats

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 2>al all at Husky Stadium. It's an amazing schedule for Washington.

0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:37.479
<v Speaker 2>Now they mentioned are the Eric mentions, it's Sam Heward.

0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.359
<v Speaker 2>It's a lot to depend on a true freshman. Dylan

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:45.600
<v Speaker 2>Morris was okay, But again, where are the threats coming

0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 2>from in the conference?

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Right now?

0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>The schedule is incredible. It's Colorado, Oregon State, Stanford, Arizona

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.520
<v Speaker 2>on the road, and they have Michigan in the non conference.

0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>They're they're coming to the Midwest to ann Arbor, but

0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 2>just feels within. I don't even think it's that spicy.

0:18:59.480 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Washington's defense should be good. They developed a couple of

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.400
<v Speaker 2>really interesting pass rushers. They've got a great secondary really

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 2>like I think it's Trent McDuffie just should be a

0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.000
<v Speaker 2>first round talent. Elijah Moulden's all over the place, So

0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 2>definite talent on that team. And my problem with Washington

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.159
<v Speaker 2>is they definitely don't have Winter Wonders. They don't definitely

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.800
<v Speaker 2>don't have game changes at receiver and running back to me,

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 2>so I think there is a lower B plus level cap.

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But I think Washington State just suspended Jaden Dolaura. I

0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 2>mean they brought in a transfer, and I just I

0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Washington set up nicely to win the North, and I

0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 2>think the North largely just wins the conference. So yeah,

0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I actually think it's like a holapeno take. I don't

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 2>think it's that spicy. Washington should be pretty good in

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 2>a conference that doesn't have a lot of pretty good

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>right now. Ten thousand Scoville heat units.

0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Ten thousand Schoolville heat units. What kind of pepper is that? Halopenio? Hallopenia?

0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:58.080
<v Speaker 1>You're every day?

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.200
<v Speaker 2>You know you want to pickle? Do you want you

0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 2>want to dice it up and throw it and you

0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:03.240
<v Speaker 2>want to make a popper.

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>Out of it? I just it's good, but pepper? How

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:10.360
<v Speaker 1>do I say number sixteen Chile day r bol arbol bowl?

0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Our bowl is fine?

0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Say that one more time, Chile d arbol Okay, I

0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.680
<v Speaker 2>can't say so. The accent is on the A, which

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.320
<v Speaker 2>means you got to hit the A a little bit harder.

0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Bowl. Yeah. I don't feel confident about that, but no,

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll go I'll go number sixteen here with thirty thousand.

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.399
<v Speaker 2>I means say hues audible does okay?

0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Audible? Yeah? Next question?

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Wait, so why why is it so spicy? To you,

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:38.639
<v Speaker 2>why is it so much spicier to me? What is

0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 2>your doubt about why?

0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, I get the law. No, I don't really have

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>doubt about it. I get I get what you're saying.

0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:48.959
<v Speaker 1>I think it's based in logic. Maybe it's just a

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 1>semantic thing for me as I'm looking at this question,

0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Washington winning the Pac twelve and going to the Rose

0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Bowl just feels like I don't feel like I don't

0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like they should be that good. Okay, And I

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.960
<v Speaker 1>don't know why, but I have a hard time believing

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that they're.

0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Gonna Is it John Donovan hangover?

0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:12.359
<v Speaker 1>It is a little bit okay, it's a little bit

0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:15.360
<v Speaker 1>of John Donovan. I also feel like Oregon is still

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>the team to beat.

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Defense should be pretty strong, it should be pretty strong.

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 1>And they return.

0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's a lot of receiver talent, the running

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.480
<v Speaker 2>backs are all back. They're pretty deep there. It's just

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:27.280
<v Speaker 2>an Anthony Brown belief system, I guess.

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And to that point, I think there's any time

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:36.240
<v Speaker 1>you've got that level of new Like I understand Anthony

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Brown kind of be a new star. But he's seen

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Brown at Oregon, We've seen him elsewhere. We kind

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of know what he's about. I'm all about five star quarterbacks.

0:21:45.880 --> 0:21:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about Sam Heward, but we just haven't seen

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:54.080
<v Speaker 1>him play sure, So that's my cause for pause. My

0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:54.800
<v Speaker 1>pet charity.

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:57.680
<v Speaker 2>By the way, if you are not a believer in Washington,

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:00.600
<v Speaker 2>you might have to be a believer. And Jar Guarantano,

0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.720
<v Speaker 2>who is going to be likely starting at Wazoo. Next topic,

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Next topic, Okay, let's go to I like this one.

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:09.600
<v Speaker 1>This one.

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I believe it's from Ed Clemson. Ed is a Clemson

0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 2>fan and he is looking into the tea leaves and saying, Clemson.

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Clampson clip will fall off a cliff.

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:28.159
<v Speaker 2>WHOA No, Well, he's talking about how the defense was

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 2>exposed and how there were game changers on offense that

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 2>were proven obviously Trevor Lawrence Travis CTN and that the ACC,

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I suppose is catching up. Quarterback is certainly getting better

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:43.440
<v Speaker 2>in the ACC. There are more threats on the outside,

0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:51.919
<v Speaker 2>better coaches, and the ability to sustain an amazing quarterback

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 2>every year in college football might be too much to ask.

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.040
<v Speaker 2>In Dju's first full season as a.

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Starter, Clemson will fall off a cliff. Yep, Damn. Ed's

0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:07.679
<v Speaker 1>bringing the Scoville heat units. Here is this like a

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Trinidad Marugo scorpion with whoa two million, nine and thirty

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>one Scovill heat units. I'm not up that high. Come.

0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna go.

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Ghost pepper with this the but Jokia, China, Bhutan, Yeah.

0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.840
<v Speaker 1>It's gotta be at least over a million Scovil heat units.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 2>I think the ghost pepper is above a million, right, yes, yes,

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.760
<v Speaker 2>found in India. Yeah, I'm gonna go ghost Pepper with

0:23:38.800 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 2>this one because I like talking about seeing ghosts.

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>That's good falling off a cliff, though, falling off a cliff,

0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I find that very hard to believe in a conference

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that we just talked about. There aren't a whole lot

0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of killers in the ACC. Clemson stands to benefit from

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.320
<v Speaker 1>that now they do play Georgia. They do first week

0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:01.920
<v Speaker 1>of the year will be a marquee matchup for sure.

0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>But then the rest of the way, who's the next

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:06.040
<v Speaker 1>best team on the schedule?

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:06.959
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:24:08.720 --> 0:24:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Maybe at pitt Or home against Florida State, at Louisville,

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:17.800
<v Speaker 1>at South Carolina. To close out the year, they should

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>presumably run through the remainder of these teams. Their hardest

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:25.920
<v Speaker 1>game is Week one, so I find it very hard

0:24:25.920 --> 0:24:29.359
<v Speaker 1>to believe that that's even possible, given the schedule, and

0:24:29.400 --> 0:24:31.440
<v Speaker 1>given the talent that we know is already there.

0:24:31.680 --> 0:24:34.440
<v Speaker 2>So this is their real given this schedule, what is

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.359
<v Speaker 2>their floor? So falling off a cliff is relative to

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 2>how high their floor? Their floor is eleven and one

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Dan their floor, it's eleven and one. It's eleven one.

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 2>They couldn't possibly do worse in one hundred universes simulating

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 2>one hundred seasons every second. They couldn't do worse than

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 2>eleven and one.

0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>Ten and two at worst. Where's the other loss coming from?

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not losing to these teams.

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:04.919
<v Speaker 2>First of all, Yukon got a ton of rest by

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:08.240
<v Speaker 2>not playing.

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 1>That's true. Who's beating them seriously on this schedule? Georgia and.

0:25:14.800 --> 0:25:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Some combination of at NC State, at Pitt Florida State,

0:25:18.160 --> 0:25:19.520
<v Speaker 2>at NC State.

0:25:20.520 --> 0:25:23.919
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I believe it. Baby, Come on, man, you're not

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>a Devon Leary? Did deve Otay? I like Devin Leary.

0:25:28.359 --> 0:25:34.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a devote.

0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's one of those. I mean, there is okay

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:40.160
<v Speaker 2>at Pitt Florida State at Leisville to take Florida State

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:43.280
<v Speaker 2>seriously without knowing McKenzie Milton's health is kind of silly.

0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:47.000
<v Speaker 2>But those are three games in a row two point

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 2>which are on the road that I don't know, especially

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.399
<v Speaker 2>later on in the season. Maybe djus beat up a

0:25:54.400 --> 0:25:54.840
<v Speaker 2>little bit.

0:25:56.840 --> 0:25:59.840
<v Speaker 1>How many of these teams could they beat legitimately be

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:04.680
<v Speaker 1>eat without a real quarterback just starting somebody back there

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:07.880
<v Speaker 1>who was a high school quarterback can kind of throw

0:26:07.960 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>but mostly runs the wildcat? Could they go eight four?

0:26:12.119 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well they lose. They lose to anybody who has

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 2>a really smart defensive coordinator, head coach combination. So they

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:20.080
<v Speaker 2>probably lose to pit They probably lose to Boston College.

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Uh with the Jeff Hafley, I get it. Maybe Georgia Tech,

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:26.879
<v Speaker 2>although the defense is still has a ways to go,

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 2>certainly to Georgia. Uh.

0:26:29.400 --> 0:26:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, somewhere on there. Eight and four man, this is

0:26:32.440 --> 0:26:34.920
<v Speaker 1>this ed. You know what, props to you? That's gonna

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:38.919
<v Speaker 1>win the entire spiciest, that's gonna be the spiciest. What

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:41.240
<v Speaker 1>did I say? What did I say? I'm looking at this?

0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:47.280
<v Speaker 1>You said something with a scorpion Trinidad Marugo ruga scorpion

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>two million, two million shoes. I'm just gonna call them shoes.

0:26:51.640 --> 0:26:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Have you had have you yeah, Scoville heat units. Have

0:26:54.920 --> 0:26:58.399
<v Speaker 2>you had any sort of uh pepper that originates in

0:26:58.440 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 2>the Caribbean.

0:26:59.760 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I did when we were down in Jamaica.

0:27:02.600 --> 0:27:07.679
<v Speaker 2>Scotch bonnets are big, Scottie bonbonds, Scotch bond had I

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 2>had a couple, and I don't think I don't think

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it's clear to me whether or not you're actually allowed

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 2>to import them. Okay, but I've had it a couple times.

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.399
<v Speaker 2>I think I shot an easy call when I was

0:27:18.440 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 2>doing that series in New York and I went to

0:27:20.400 --> 0:27:24.119
<v Speaker 2>a Caribbean influence restaurant and had some wings with Scotch

0:27:24.160 --> 0:27:27.119
<v Speaker 2>bonnet sauce, and the chef alluded to the fact that

0:27:27.160 --> 0:27:28.960
<v Speaker 2>he's got a guy in terms of trying and.

0:27:29.160 --> 0:27:31.159
<v Speaker 1>You need a guy for the Scotch bonnet, right.

0:27:31.160 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for Scotch bonnets, and they pack a wall up tie.

0:27:34.880 --> 0:27:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I know you can handle your heat, but these, whooh,

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot. I mean, I had no. It's not

0:27:41.400 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that I really like handling the heat.

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't prefer the spiciest variety of pepper, okay, but

0:27:49.960 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I have it runs in the family. Let's put it

0:27:52.760 --> 0:27:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that way. My family members could tolerate the heat I

0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:56.520
<v Speaker 1>just don't prefer.

0:27:56.280 --> 0:28:00.280
<v Speaker 2>It if you were like you just won't go out

0:28:00.320 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 2>of your way, like if a place is like we've

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:03.360
<v Speaker 2>got atomic devil.

0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:05.920
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no devil t twings.

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, So where would you mass max out?

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Knowing hallapeno is at a ten thousand here at number eighteen,

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>where would you what is a stretch goal on this list?

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Stretch goal? That's a great question. I don't I'm certain

0:28:22.160 --> 0:28:23.919
<v Speaker 1>that I've eaten peppers that are hotter than this.

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:27.160
<v Speaker 2>You've probably done a hobbin arrow. I'm pretty sure I've done.

0:28:28.200 --> 0:28:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've done a hobby narrow, and

0:28:30.680 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a hobbin nio has the same as a Jamaican hot

0:28:32.840 --> 0:28:34.440
<v Speaker 1>pepper per the scale.

0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:38.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but hobin arrows are tough, man, That's a it's

0:28:38.560 --> 0:28:39.320
<v Speaker 2>a tough ask.

0:28:39.720 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really looking to crack into the top five here, Dan, Okay,

0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:48.520
<v Speaker 1>you're not going half a mil you're yeah, I think

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.720
<v Speaker 1>three fifty is probably enough for me. Three fifty is

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 1>like I'm getting sweaty three fifty as I'm looking for

0:28:56.040 --> 0:29:01.480
<v Speaker 1>something like milk that can dilute the burn. Three fifty

0:29:01.560 --> 0:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>is probably some sort of bathroom episode which we don't

0:29:03.760 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 1>have to talk about on this here, no Go Go

0:29:06.040 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Dee podcast. But no, I mean, do you how hot

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 1>have you gone?

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I've done the Scotch bond in the hobbanaro, but nothing

0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>hotter than that. And that it was like in a salsa.

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:17.719
<v Speaker 2>It's not like I was taking a bite of it

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 2>or eating a pure of it on lacquered onto some wings.

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:25.560
<v Speaker 2>And I had a hobbanaro salsa in Mexico at a place,

0:29:26.280 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 2>a taco place, and you're supposed to have the hobbinaro

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 2>with this type of taco, a hobbanaro salsa, because it's

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 2>a very fatty cut of pork. And I saw the

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 2>future time. I was seeing waves on your shot. Yeah,

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.400
<v Speaker 2>I was seeing ghosts. So all right, let's get let's

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 2>get spicy with another with another outlandish, preposterous claim, Thank

0:29:47.360 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 2>you very much. Georgia will beat Alabama twice this year

0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 2>freshman quarter Okay, SEC Championship game, college football playoff. Okay,

0:29:58.000 --> 0:30:01.000
<v Speaker 2>we've talked about JT. Danielsalked about him a little bit,

0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:05.080
<v Speaker 2>but I want to talk about Kirby Smart. I want

0:30:05.080 --> 0:30:08.080
<v Speaker 2>to talk about I guess Dan Lanning and George Pickens

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:14.080
<v Speaker 2>and what this offense would need to do if Alabama

0:30:14.200 --> 0:30:16.600
<v Speaker 2>is anywhere near where they've been these past few years

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 2>with mac Jones and Tua. That does Georgia have the firepower?

0:30:21.440 --> 0:30:26.680
<v Speaker 2>So we're talking Stetson Bennett plus something beyond Stetson Bennett,

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.760
<v Speaker 2>which wasn't great for four quarters, but they were there.

0:30:32.200 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Do you see Georgia being able to score forty five

0:30:35.200 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 2>plus presumably what you'll need to score to beat Alabama

0:30:37.960 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 2>for the foreseeable future twice this year? How preposterous and

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 2>outlandish is that claim?

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:48.760
<v Speaker 1>So what did I put the Clemson one at? I

0:30:48.800 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>said two million special Yeah, Scoville heat units. Yeah. I

0:30:55.720 --> 0:31:01.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of put this one up there, maybe at like

0:31:03.480 --> 0:31:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Devil's tongue level that was three. Okay, this one does

0:31:10.280 --> 0:31:15.120
<v Speaker 1>not strike me as being too far fetched. Alabama was

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 1>incredible this year, and you're probably sick of us saying

0:31:19.160 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>this if you're not an Alabama fan. But had the

0:31:21.800 --> 0:31:26.640
<v Speaker 1>best recruiting class, the best recorded recruiting class, so they

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:31.000
<v Speaker 1>did well. They always do well. But I just I

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:34.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like, first off, I'm biased when it comes to

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Georgia because I have a thing for Georgia football. You

0:31:37.240 --> 0:31:39.760
<v Speaker 1>know this. I also like JT. Daniels an awful lot,

0:31:39.800 --> 0:31:42.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe more so than most. It's tough for me to

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.479
<v Speaker 1>kind of see past that, but I do feel like

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:48.560
<v Speaker 1>we saw the better version of the Georgia offense down

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the stretch last season. And if in fact JT. Daniels

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 1>comes back healthy, they got a ton of talent around him,

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 1>we know the line's going to be solid as always.

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:03.920
<v Speaker 1>It's not too far fetched to me that Georgia comes

0:32:03.920 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 1>out gunning and they just score a ton of points.

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>That that's that, that's an ability of that offense. So

0:32:14.160 --> 0:32:16.920
<v Speaker 1>twice is twice is what makes it a stretch. I

0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 1>feel yeah, I feel confident. Three hundred thousand special heat units.

0:32:21.120 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Give me, give me the Devil's that's pretty hot. That's

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:26.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty spicy. It's spicy, it's spicy. I think it's mostly

0:32:26.360 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>spicy because we're saying that they need to do it twice.

0:32:28.720 --> 0:32:31.000
<v Speaker 1>But I feel like George has got it in them

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.000
<v Speaker 1>that they've certainly got the talent level they could at

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 1>least do it once.

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:39.160
<v Speaker 2>I have this as a Trinidad scorpion, butch T one

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:40.760
<v Speaker 2>point four million.

0:32:40.640 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Wow, no faith.

0:32:43.360 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 2>It's not that I'm yee of little faith, which I

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:51.800
<v Speaker 2>guess doesn't make sense because I can't be ye. Beating

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Alabama twice seems kind of like a non starter to me.

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Beating beating Nick Saban twice in a season. I don't

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:06.120
<v Speaker 2>know how many teams have attempted it because of the

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:09.160
<v Speaker 2>the unlikelihood of the ability to play Alabama twice, But

0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I do remember Alabama losing nine to six to LSU

0:33:11.920 --> 0:33:14.320
<v Speaker 2>and then subsequently not letting them pass the fifty in

0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 2>the National Championship came let alone score a point, different offenses,

0:33:18.880 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 2>different time whatever, different defenses. That was an all time,

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 2>all time, all time Alabama defense. I just think it's

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 2>it just feels too impossible to me, So I look agree. Ever,

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 2>in Georgia football, I am we agree.

0:33:34.960 --> 0:33:39.360
<v Speaker 1>On that component. We agree that the real spiciness here

0:33:40.760 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 1>is in the beating them twice bit. What if I

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 1>reframed the question, what if I said level of spiciness

0:33:49.120 --> 0:33:52.000
<v Speaker 1>for beating Alabama once?

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean, let me scroll down like Chipotle.

0:34:01.040 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 1>So it's doable. It's just twice is what makes it

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:06.040
<v Speaker 1>hard for you to believe. I can sympathize with that.

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I can relate. By the way, we'll post this article

0:34:09.880 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 1>in the notes of this here show if you want

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to get a look at the Skulvill heat index for yourself.

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Chipotle smoked Tulapano, by the way, not a standalone pepper,

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>but gets its own classification. Some of these are smoked

0:34:23.520 --> 0:34:26.320
<v Speaker 2>and dried out versions of other peppers should be pointed out. Okay,

0:34:27.760 --> 0:34:31.520
<v Speaker 2>next take that you find to be preposterous or outlandish.

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, our friend Dan Klobocar is saying, Purdue, We'll

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:36.439
<v Speaker 2>start out two and zero after squeaking by Oregon State

0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:38.320
<v Speaker 2>and Yukon followed by ten straight losses.

0:34:38.800 --> 0:34:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Bell Pepper, Bell.

0:34:42.040 --> 0:34:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Frigid, like the pipes beneath this house I'm renting. I

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.839
<v Speaker 2>see fridgid. Not a lot of heat here.

0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:56.400
<v Speaker 1>You go from Miller time of the second year coaches

0:34:56.440 --> 0:35:00.359
<v Speaker 1>in the SEC. Mike Leach in Mississippi State have the

0:35:00.360 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 1>best year. The offense showed promise by the end of

0:35:04.120 --> 0:35:07.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, and his teams have always made big jumps

0:35:07.520 --> 0:35:11.319
<v Speaker 1>offensively in year two. Zach Garnett was great with a

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:14.399
<v Speaker 1>young defense in twenty twenty, and they should be even

0:35:14.440 --> 0:35:17.040
<v Speaker 1>better this season. So what say you?

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 2>So you're saying better than Lane and Ole miss.

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Better than Eli Drinkwitz I guess.

0:35:26.160 --> 0:35:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Eli Drinkwitz better than Sam Pittman at Arkansas. The problem

0:35:31.120 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 2>with Mississippi State is, yes, the lows were pretty low,

0:35:35.520 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 2>but as a program, they've been pretty good lately, so

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:43.600
<v Speaker 2>the jump won't feel as pronounced. But yeah, I think

0:35:43.640 --> 0:35:45.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay with this. I think I'm okay. I don't

0:35:45.840 --> 0:35:48.360
<v Speaker 2>think it's all that spicy. I don't think there's a

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 2>ton of you don't think there is this preposterous outlandish though.

0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:55.080
<v Speaker 2>The thing to doubt is where that locker room is,

0:35:55.320 --> 0:35:57.680
<v Speaker 2>because it did not seem by all accounts to be

0:35:57.760 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that pleasant a place. And so if there's not a

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:04.360
<v Speaker 2>belief in Mike Leach in that system, or there's still

0:36:04.600 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, you have this awkward point whenever there's a

0:36:07.160 --> 0:36:10.120
<v Speaker 2>new coach, especially one who brings out a lot of

0:36:10.120 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 2>emotions like Mike Leach does, where you start getting factions

0:36:14.080 --> 0:36:18.160
<v Speaker 2>his guys hold over Dan Mullen, guys. I wonder what

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 2>that that locker room, and that what that culture is like,

0:36:21.080 --> 0:36:24.120
<v Speaker 2>because sometimes that takes a lot of time to work out.

0:36:24.160 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 2>And year two, or technically year one, because it's year

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 2>one for every new coach if they started out last year,

0:36:30.160 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 2>I I'm concerned about that, but given the defense given

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:38.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, Jayden Wally, my guy, I don't know if

0:36:38.920 --> 0:36:41.520
<v Speaker 2>you have the sound ready for you, but there's elements

0:36:41.560 --> 0:36:42.879
<v Speaker 2>that makes me think that this could be.

0:36:42.840 --> 0:36:44.719
<v Speaker 1>A pretty fun team. Thank you very much.

0:36:44.760 --> 0:36:48.279
<v Speaker 2>Sorry it was so no, it's okay, I'm trying to

0:36:48.320 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 2>catch you. So yeah, I'm gonna say I'll go to

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Basco fifty k not crazy spy.

0:37:00.600 --> 0:37:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Now, this doesn't feel spicy at all to me. It

0:37:03.680 --> 0:37:07.400
<v Speaker 1>doesn't feel spicy at all to me, like an Anaheim Poblano.

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Let me pull it back up here, give me.

0:37:11.800 --> 0:37:16.640
<v Speaker 2>A pap We'll go Chipottele eight thousand. Okay, all right,

0:37:16.800 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 2>fair enough, so a little bit of a kick, but

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>not too bad. Arizona State per one, longtime listener, Arizona

0:37:24.400 --> 0:37:26.680
<v Speaker 2>State fan, a young talented roster is now just a

0:37:26.719 --> 0:37:30.200
<v Speaker 2>talented roster that might return twenty one starters from a

0:37:30.280 --> 0:37:33.440
<v Speaker 2>year ago. Got to win those clunkers though, Arizona State

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:38.360
<v Speaker 2>winning the PAC twelve. The common road splits, but Asu

0:37:38.480 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 2>experience quarterback. They've got a good mix of sort of

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 2>cagey veteran coaches and younger recruiter types.

0:37:48.160 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I there's a lot of spice there Dan, there's a

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:55.720
<v Speaker 1>considerable amount of spice on this one.

0:37:56.120 --> 0:37:59.720
<v Speaker 2>So I think you need to be so so solid

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 2>along the lines to avoid dropping a clunker. And I'm

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>not there yet with Arizona State. Yeah, well, I don't

0:38:08.280 --> 0:38:10.200
<v Speaker 2>think the depth is quite there. I don't think the

0:38:10.200 --> 0:38:14.280
<v Speaker 2>playmakers are quite there. And I like Jayden and Daniels

0:38:14.280 --> 0:38:18.000
<v Speaker 2>a good deal, but he has had what was was

0:38:18.040 --> 0:38:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the UCLA game. They had a wreck of a game

0:38:20.000 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 2>this year. That's what concerns me. Yeah, Jade Daniels was

0:38:24.000 --> 0:38:27.360
<v Speaker 2>not particularly good that game, so that that is the

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:29.479
<v Speaker 2>concern to me. Losing a game like that at home,

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 2>not getting to twenty points. I'm not, I can't, I'm not.

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm not fully there. So in terms of spiciness without

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:40.000
<v Speaker 2>there being a team I love in the South, although

0:38:40.040 --> 0:38:44.239
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting pretty high on UCLA at the moment, I'm

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:49.879
<v Speaker 2>going to say moderate spice. I'm gonna say moderate. I'll

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 2>go in that Chile Day Audible territory at thirty.

0:38:52.760 --> 0:38:54.600
<v Speaker 1>K Chile de Arbol.

0:38:55.719 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's a pretty open division, a pretty

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:03.719
<v Speaker 2>open conference, and I just I believe in every team

0:39:03.760 --> 0:39:05.640
<v Speaker 2>in that in the South is going to drop a

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:09.160
<v Speaker 2>clunker and a half, so ASU has some legal room

0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 2>winning the PAC twelve. I mean, how many good quarter

0:39:12.560 --> 0:39:17.120
<v Speaker 2>good legitimately known good quarterbacks are there in the PAC twelve.

0:39:18.640 --> 0:39:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Now, look, yeah, you're right. I mean Keaton Slovs. Keaton Slovis,

0:39:22.719 --> 0:39:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I think is the obvious answer.

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I love, love love Keton Slovas

0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.040
<v Speaker 2>after watching him in the PAC twelve championship game.

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. So they have they haven't actually set

0:39:32.600 --> 0:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>the PAC twelve schedule yet, correct, right, But we know

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:37.160
<v Speaker 1>the Homan Roads, but we know the Homan Road splits,

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and and that's sort of my point. There's a road

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:43.000
<v Speaker 1>game in here at Utah Road Gaming, here at Washington

0:39:43.760 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Road Gaming here against UCLA, depending when that when that

0:39:47.000 --> 0:39:51.080
<v Speaker 1>game is played, that could be an interesting setup. There's

0:39:51.080 --> 0:39:54.160
<v Speaker 1>a road game against BYU without Zach Wilson, who some

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:57.399
<v Speaker 1>apparently like better than Trevor Lawrence, which is we could

0:39:57.400 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about that later. So it's not the easiest schedule.

0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:05.560
<v Speaker 1>But to your point, like I don't know, the PAC

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:09.719
<v Speaker 1>twelve South feels like it's winnable because we don't know

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.839
<v Speaker 1>what we're gonna get at USC never feels like we know.

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:17.520
<v Speaker 1>And if as you can get everything in a row.

0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>It stands to reason dated at least be in the conversation.

0:40:20.840 --> 0:40:23.719
<v Speaker 1>But the clunker element of this is what scares me.

0:40:24.440 --> 0:40:29.920
<v Speaker 1>There's clunker potential with the schedule and how many how

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>many shoes did you go shoes? I think about thirty k?

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Thirty k feels right?

0:40:38.400 --> 0:40:41.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I went back to the Chile.

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.800
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. That's pretty close. The roads.

0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:47.439
<v Speaker 2>The road games are not great at Oregon State, at UCLA, Utah,

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:48.799
<v Speaker 2>at Washington and then BA.

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:53.400
<v Speaker 1>That's there are four and a half losable.

0:40:53.040 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Games on this schedule, bare minimum losable, not that they

0:40:56.680 --> 0:41:00.400
<v Speaker 2>will lose, but envisionable. So yeah, I think it's I

0:41:00.400 --> 0:41:01.840
<v Speaker 2>think there's a good amount of spice, so it's just

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:02.920
<v Speaker 2>not crazy amount of spice.

0:41:03.840 --> 0:41:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Penn State will win nine games this season, which

0:41:09.080 --> 0:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>is in a wild prediction.

0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 2>But the catch we've got David going ten.

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, see this, but they're diametrically opposed with what I'm

0:41:17.000 --> 0:41:20.319
<v Speaker 1>about to say next. Okay, so Andrew is saying that

0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the catch here is that Christian Veyo will be the

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback, not Sean Clifford. Clifford has hit his ceiling,

0:41:29.719 --> 0:41:32.920
<v Speaker 1>has been coached by multiple offensive coordinators and hasn't improved.

0:41:33.800 --> 0:41:36.960
<v Speaker 1>He is not the future. David says that Penn State

0:41:37.000 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>will go ten and two on the back of Sean Clifford,

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:43.160
<v Speaker 1>who's going to step up his game, become a great quarterback,

0:41:44.320 --> 0:41:48.120
<v Speaker 1>get help from the new offensive coordinator in a complete offseason,

0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and Johan Dotson, who is coming back. So okay, two

0:41:54.960 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>ways skin that cat. I don't think either prediction is

0:42:01.000 --> 0:42:03.080
<v Speaker 1>too far off base. So I think Penn State's got

0:42:03.120 --> 0:42:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of talent. Okay. The quarterback situation, though, I

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.680
<v Speaker 1>think we're just David, We're gonna have to agree to disagree.

0:42:09.880 --> 0:42:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I agree with Andrew and this one. It's it okay,

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:19.600
<v Speaker 1>certainly not a full and normal off season by any stretch.

0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Last these are meant to be outlandish, by the way.

0:42:21.640 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 2>This is understanding, David, or for Andrew chiming in.

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 1>To say, I've been thinking this the whole time. No, no,

0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>no positive important disclaimer, important disclaimer, David, this one's for you.

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.719
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Thank you for writing in, for supporting the show.

0:42:35.719 --> 0:42:40.399
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate it. The level of spice. Show me pull

0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:44.640
<v Speaker 1>up Penn State schedule, YEP, I have it. What's it

0:42:44.680 --> 0:42:45.080
<v Speaker 1>look like?

0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:51.759
<v Speaker 2>Academic calendar or football football football. Please, Okay, it's making sure. Well,

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:54.719
<v Speaker 2>they do have Auburn and it's an Auburn team going

0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:56.719
<v Speaker 2>through changes having Neal coach. But yeah, it is, you know,

0:42:56.760 --> 0:43:01.440
<v Speaker 2>a talented Auburn team and opening they're at Wisconsin is

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:03.520
<v Speaker 2>certainly tricky. We just don't know what to expect out

0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:06.080
<v Speaker 2>of the Badgers. But that's a quality program. We'll see

0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:07.960
<v Speaker 2>what they look like in terms of a depth chart,

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 2>spring fall, summer, injuries, whatever. Indiana is nice to have

0:43:11.960 --> 0:43:15.360
<v Speaker 2>at home Iowa on the road, they're either losing that

0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:18.279
<v Speaker 2>game seventeen sixteen or winning that game seventeen sixteen. Just

0:43:18.320 --> 0:43:21.360
<v Speaker 2>how it works time right, Take this points, take those points,

0:43:21.560 --> 0:43:27.440
<v Speaker 2>take them and run. You know, the stretch in the

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Halloween early November, like it's.

0:43:30.840 --> 0:43:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Ten and two is doable. You could do ten this.

0:43:33.880 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean the quarterbacks on Penn State schedule that whoever

0:43:38.480 --> 0:43:41.880
<v Speaker 2>vo or Sean Clifford have to match point for point

0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:44.840
<v Speaker 2>are as follows.

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:50.920
<v Speaker 1>C. J. Stroud Ohio State or Jack Miller, whoever ends

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:51.759
<v Speaker 1>up starting. That's it.

0:43:52.239 --> 0:43:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Unless you're a big believer in Kade McNamara. I know

0:43:55.800 --> 0:44:03.240
<v Speaker 2>it's Kate what I like? Got hey, thank you? Yeah,

0:44:03.600 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's sort of it has a feeling of

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Penn State can win something ugly against both Wisconsin and Auburn,

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 2>and if you want a pencil in losses at Iowa

0:44:15.640 --> 0:44:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and at Ohio State with a toss up decent situation

0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:23.279
<v Speaker 2>against Michigan, there is an element to Penn State needing

0:44:23.320 --> 0:44:26.600
<v Speaker 2>to hold, serve and just tread water and that they

0:44:26.760 --> 0:44:29.239
<v Speaker 2>can get a couple of breaks and get to ten

0:44:29.280 --> 0:44:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and two.

0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like ten and two is doable. Certainly nine

0:44:33.600 --> 0:44:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and three is doable.

0:44:35.520 --> 0:44:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I also think ten and two and six and six

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 2>are on equal footing.

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah where I just the reason that David is spicier

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is because of the Sean Clifford comment, and it's definitely

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 1>wishful thinking. I just do not see that. I do

0:44:52.760 --> 0:44:56.000
<v Speaker 1>not see that at all at all. I think it's

0:44:56.000 --> 0:44:58.319
<v Speaker 1>more I think Andrews is more likely and therefore has

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:00.879
<v Speaker 1>less spice. David. I like you going for it here

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:05.160
<v Speaker 1>with Seawan Clifford, but I'm out on them. So many

0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:07.160
<v Speaker 1>how many quarterbacks?

0:45:07.400 --> 0:45:09.600
<v Speaker 2>And I mean we can deep dive this at some

0:45:09.680 --> 0:45:11.560
<v Speaker 2>point or who knows, or people can just tell us,

0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:15.320
<v Speaker 2>like how many quarterbacks maintain a high level and grow

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:21.400
<v Speaker 2>with three coordinators in three years, No exactly exactly what

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:26.000
<v Speaker 2>it's Ricky, Ronnie, it's Kirk Shraka and now Mike, you're

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:29.160
<v Speaker 2>sick like is that a People pointed to that as

0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:32.319
<v Speaker 2>the issue about Josh Rosen developing and obviously had a

0:45:32.360 --> 0:45:37.760
<v Speaker 2>terrible offensive money UCLA, but putting it all together, starting

0:45:37.760 --> 0:45:42.360
<v Speaker 2>from scratch three straight years, no matter what Sean Clifford's

0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:46.680
<v Speaker 2>ceiling is, I it's just such an impossible ask to me.

0:45:46.880 --> 0:45:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Ten wins with Sean Clifford is a Carolina cayenne one

0:45:51.000 --> 0:45:56.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty five thousand Scovill heat units. Okay, doing

0:45:56.760 --> 0:46:01.840
<v Speaker 1>nine and three with their freshman stud I'm gonna go

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:06.680
<v Speaker 1>back to the chili de orbull at thirty thousand. Still

0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>feels like a little bit just like saying that I

0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.040
<v Speaker 1>can't say it that's the problem. Still feels like a

0:46:11.040 --> 0:46:13.360
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a stretch. But I think it's definitely

0:46:13.400 --> 0:46:15.880
<v Speaker 1>more workable and not that spicy. In the grand scheme,

0:46:16.640 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Peter Minnesota will win the Big ten okay O line

0:46:20.520 --> 0:46:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gets two starters back who opted out, and of course

0:46:23.600 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Tanner Morgan Big ten running Back of the Year returns Okay,

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:33.160
<v Speaker 1>new kicker and punter Okay, bunch of defensive studs coming

0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.520
<v Speaker 1>in will win the West because I'm disillusioned the whole thing,

0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:40.920
<v Speaker 1>versus Ohio State because their new quarterback stinks. This is outlandish,

0:46:40.920 --> 0:46:43.960
<v Speaker 1>preposterous thing, by the way, So okay, I like it.

0:46:45.120 --> 0:46:47.439
<v Speaker 2>I love the heat. We had somebody else talk about PJ.

0:46:47.520 --> 0:46:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Fleck is gonna raise his profile to such a point

0:46:49.960 --> 0:46:55.279
<v Speaker 2>where he's gonna have a sixty minutes segment in mid December. Yeah,

0:46:55.400 --> 0:46:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Mike Leech treatment, Yes, I like it.

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm not.

0:47:01.600 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it's more likely that PJ fleckets on sixty

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:06.600
<v Speaker 2>minutes than Minnesota wins the Big Ten.

0:47:06.760 --> 0:47:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh for sure.

0:47:08.680 --> 0:47:14.080
<v Speaker 2>So for sure, in terms of spice, Minnesota winning what

0:47:14.200 --> 0:47:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I still consider to be a outside of one team

0:47:18.640 --> 0:47:22.719
<v Speaker 2>wide open conference. Well, okay, so let's let's let's talk

0:47:22.719 --> 0:47:26.600
<v Speaker 2>about Minnesota winning the West door stepping it totally. That's

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:29.839
<v Speaker 2>not spicy at all. Now, I have I harbor a

0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:30.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit of.

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Resentment because I was all in on Minnesota last year

0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and they stink, and they took a ton of money,

0:47:37.840 --> 0:47:40.520
<v Speaker 1>probably out of the pockets of the same verballers sending

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:46.560
<v Speaker 1>in some of these outlandishly spicy predictions. Yeah, so it's

0:47:46.560 --> 0:47:48.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna take me a little bit a moment to get

0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:51.000
<v Speaker 1>over that. But I do feel like, as I do

0:47:51.320 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>seemingly every year, that the Big Ten West is pretty

0:47:53.520 --> 0:47:56.279
<v Speaker 1>wide open. That to me is not the spicy part.

0:47:56.560 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>The spicier parts obviously winning the conference championship game. That

0:48:01.400 --> 0:48:03.680
<v Speaker 1>is this as spicy as it was a year ago

0:48:04.080 --> 0:48:07.720
<v Speaker 1>when Justin Fields was a quarterback for Ohio State.

0:48:08.160 --> 0:48:11.840
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we're also coming off of a disastrous Minnesota season.

0:48:13.239 --> 0:48:15.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so you can't get over it either.

0:48:16.280 --> 0:48:20.240
<v Speaker 2>No, I can't at all, though, I mean I maintain

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:25.759
<v Speaker 2>that could you could blaze a path for a number

0:48:25.800 --> 0:48:28.239
<v Speaker 2>of teams in the Big Ten to doorstep and the

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:32.520
<v Speaker 2>way that Indiana did perhaps where develop a couple receivers

0:48:32.920 --> 0:48:36.520
<v Speaker 2>quarterback is sort of just well, maybe not excellent. A

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:43.000
<v Speaker 2>playmaker gets things done, And I definitely think a full season,

0:48:43.040 --> 0:48:46.319
<v Speaker 2>perhaps a full year of whatever spring football looks like,

0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:51.400
<v Speaker 2>summer and fall camp, and regularity to listen to and

0:48:51.560 --> 0:48:55.719
<v Speaker 2>or tolerate PJ flex Ted talks every day all year

0:48:55.760 --> 0:49:00.160
<v Speaker 2>long to buy in and believe will give minutes so

0:49:00.280 --> 0:49:02.920
<v Speaker 2>to an advantage in a way that other teams may

0:49:02.960 --> 0:49:11.880
<v Speaker 2>not need. So I'm gonna say there is noticeable spice,

0:49:11.920 --> 0:49:16.719
<v Speaker 2>a bird's eye chili two twenty five k Scoville heat units.

0:49:17.280 --> 0:49:19.759
<v Speaker 2>But you can get hotter here. You can definitely get hotter.

0:49:20.760 --> 0:49:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you could definitely get hotter. I don't think it's

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:27.680
<v Speaker 1>spicy because that.

0:49:27.640 --> 0:49:29.279
<v Speaker 2>Offense was kind of a nightmare last year.

0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, like they are unanswered questions with Tanner Morgan correct

0:49:33.400 --> 0:49:37.800
<v Speaker 1>their unanswered questions about the Big ten East, plenty of them.

0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:40.640
<v Speaker 1>So this is less spicy to me than it was

0:49:40.680 --> 0:49:44.600
<v Speaker 1>a year ago. It will take me a moment to

0:49:44.640 --> 0:49:47.200
<v Speaker 1>get over what I saw in Minnesota last year, which

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I just did not see coming. Thought they were going

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>to be a heck of a lot better and they weren't. Yeah,

0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:55.200
<v Speaker 1>how many heat units did you go to? Twenty five

0:49:55.640 --> 0:50:03.279
<v Speaker 1>to twenty five? Five to twenty five? I'll go, oh man,

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:06.560
<v Speaker 1>there's really not much in between the bird's eye chili

0:50:06.719 --> 0:50:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and tabasco, is there? No, I'm gonna go Carolina Cayen

0:50:11.360 --> 0:50:13.080
<v Speaker 1>in again on Twlana Cayen.

0:50:13.200 --> 0:50:16.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, seven points against Iowa last year, seventeen against Wisconsin.

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:20.120
<v Speaker 1>So let me ask you this, is it more likely

0:50:20.239 --> 0:50:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that PJ. Fleck gets on sixty minutes because of football

0:50:24.120 --> 0:50:27.680
<v Speaker 1>or because of some non football like charity that he's spearheading.

0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:31.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, it'll be because something happens during a game,

0:50:31.800 --> 0:50:36.720
<v Speaker 2>like he himself tackles a streaker. Okay, like there's something

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:41.000
<v Speaker 2>that raises his profile beyond sports, where he's involved in

0:50:41.040 --> 0:50:43.799
<v Speaker 2>some sort of viral video or he breaks up a

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 2>bank robbery so that.

0:50:45.320 --> 0:50:47.520
<v Speaker 1>But it's not gonna be football related, is my point.

0:50:48.280 --> 0:50:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, it'll introduce people to his football wackiness. So yeah,

0:50:54.520 --> 0:50:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it'll involve football. But there's gonna be something,

0:50:57.040 --> 0:51:01.560
<v Speaker 2>some element of his personality that uh that transcends.

0:51:01.719 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 1>There needs to be that twist, though, There needs to be.

0:51:04.719 --> 0:51:08.400
<v Speaker 1>I always thought the way that he wears a tie

0:51:08.840 --> 0:51:10.680
<v Speaker 1>could be a nice entry point, but no one ever

0:51:10.680 --> 0:51:14.200
<v Speaker 1>seems to play into that.

0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:16.120
<v Speaker 2>Big tie not you know, the cleats thing too, is

0:51:16.160 --> 0:51:17.239
<v Speaker 2>great he and Harbaugh.

0:51:17.560 --> 0:51:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like that. Ready to go out there. Okay,

0:51:21.160 --> 0:51:22.800
<v Speaker 1>let's do like one or two more, Dan.

0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:24.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, give me something out landish.

0:51:25.320 --> 0:51:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to go.

0:51:28.200 --> 0:51:32.719
<v Speaker 2>To but but but we had a few. Iowa State

0:51:32.880 --> 0:51:34.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to make the playoff.

0:51:35.320 --> 0:51:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to Shore. Let's do that one.

0:51:38.440 --> 0:51:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Iowa State playoff team returning a time, Iowa State's

0:51:43.920 --> 0:51:51.400
<v Speaker 2>returning starters go undefeated. Mm hmm, okay, okay, I'm assuming

0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:53.439
<v Speaker 2>Nate does not believe that Texas will be back.

0:51:54.080 --> 0:51:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that fair to say?

0:51:56.040 --> 0:52:01.400
<v Speaker 2>It's fair to say it's uh, Northern Iowa LV in

0:52:01.520 --> 0:52:05.440
<v Speaker 2>the non conference Northern Iowa Iowa UNLV.

0:52:05.520 --> 0:52:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me.

0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:10.520
<v Speaker 2>With the the Syhawk Trophy being decided in Aames.

0:52:12.160 --> 0:52:16.879
<v Speaker 1>We've also got road games against Baylor, against Kansas State,

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:21.840
<v Speaker 1>West Virginia Tech's Tech, and Oklahoma.

0:52:22.040 --> 0:52:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it's it's it's a tough maybe slightly even,

0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:28.319
<v Speaker 2>but pretty tough. So if we're talking about Iowa State

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:30.879
<v Speaker 2>in terms of they're a clear Big twelve contender, they're

0:52:30.880 --> 0:52:33.279
<v Speaker 2>in the championship game last year, so they are on

0:52:33.400 --> 0:52:37.800
<v Speaker 2>the road taking on their biggest threat, their biggest roadblock,

0:52:41.920 --> 0:52:48.239
<v Speaker 2>without again not going game for game. But I think

0:52:48.280 --> 0:52:52.640
<v Speaker 2>there is a good to very good shot that this happened.

0:52:52.719 --> 0:52:57.040
<v Speaker 1>I feel pretty good about this one. Actually, I feel

0:52:57.080 --> 0:52:57.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty good.

0:52:57.680 --> 0:53:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Getting over Beating Oklahoma twice is near impossible. As we

0:53:02.560 --> 0:53:04.800
<v Speaker 2>saw last year. It was still relatively close in the

0:53:04.880 --> 0:53:10.359
<v Speaker 2>championship game though, for sure, But Iowa State to get

0:53:10.400 --> 0:53:13.120
<v Speaker 2>over that hump, we're gonna have to match the probably

0:53:13.680 --> 0:53:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a pretty improved and that's kind of scary to think

0:53:16.960 --> 0:53:21.920
<v Speaker 2>about Spencer Rattler with a full off season at the Helm.

0:53:22.520 --> 0:53:28.239
<v Speaker 2>So ah, their weakness was against the pass last year

0:53:29.440 --> 0:53:32.400
<v Speaker 2>and it's not an amazing matchup, and they they're just

0:53:32.600 --> 0:53:34.799
<v Speaker 2>they're not an explosive team. That's what worries me. That

0:53:34.800 --> 0:53:36.719
<v Speaker 2>they could play a pretty good game like the way

0:53:36.760 --> 0:53:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that they beat Texas scares me. Trailing a pretty good

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:44.279
<v Speaker 2>team the entire time and closing it out strong. It's

0:53:44.360 --> 0:53:48.120
<v Speaker 2>not the best recipe for running the table, which Iowa

0:53:48.160 --> 0:53:50.840
<v Speaker 2>State is probably going to have to do for people

0:53:50.880 --> 0:53:55.279
<v Speaker 2>to believe in them on a playoff level. So I

0:53:55.360 --> 0:54:00.319
<v Speaker 2>think there's considerable spice, just not overwhelming spice. So once

0:54:00.360 --> 0:54:03.880
<v Speaker 2>again I'm gonna go up to I'll go Red Savina

0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Hobanaro Red five eighty K.

0:54:06.760 --> 0:54:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Five eighty K. So wow, you said you didn't think

0:54:09.400 --> 0:54:11.319
<v Speaker 1>it was crazy, and then you went five eighty K.

0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, if I'm saying just absolutely outlandis bonkers, I'm going

0:54:17.160 --> 0:54:22.520
<v Speaker 2>over a mill. So I'm not there, but I think

0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:27.840
<v Speaker 2>it's significant just because I still see a dud of

0:54:27.880 --> 0:54:29.600
<v Speaker 2>a brock party half somewhere.

0:54:29.600 --> 0:54:32.360
<v Speaker 1>So you talk yourself into it being spicier than you

0:54:32.400 --> 0:54:33.120
<v Speaker 1>initially thought.

0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's a California pepper. I don't know how California

0:54:39.719 --> 0:54:42.960
<v Speaker 2>spice relates to I was stayed football at this moment.

0:54:42.960 --> 0:54:46.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to make a comparison that's tenuous at best,

0:54:46.520 --> 0:54:48.359
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, that's where I am right now.

0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:59.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I m hm, undefeated is what he's saying. They're

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:04.800
<v Speaker 1>going to go undefeated. I think you went really spicy

0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:13.759
<v Speaker 1>with this. Okay, I'm gonna say Bird's eye chili two

0:55:13.880 --> 0:55:18.880
<v Speaker 1>twenty five. K. I don't think it's likely, but I

0:55:18.920 --> 0:55:22.840
<v Speaker 1>also think that the Big twelve is upside down enough

0:55:23.480 --> 0:55:28.680
<v Speaker 1>that something crazy like this could happen. So I would

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:33.239
<v Speaker 1>stayed on a sun Belt losing streak, sun Belt losing streak, Yes, okay,

0:55:33.520 --> 0:55:36.680
<v Speaker 1>two twenty five. I don't think it's crazy. We're we're

0:55:36.719 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 1>in vicinity here, Final one. You get the pink.

0:55:44.920 --> 0:55:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Let's go, let's go something big here. Florida State wins

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:52.640
<v Speaker 2>nine games this year. Good quarterback play for the first

0:55:52.680 --> 0:55:56.239
<v Speaker 2>time since Frenchy. I imagine that's DeAndre frances Wah. I

0:55:56.400 --> 0:55:59.200
<v Speaker 2>was a freshman. Another step forward with an O line

0:55:59.239 --> 0:56:02.360
<v Speaker 2>under a coach at Wlkins ends that can apply pressure,

0:56:02.400 --> 0:56:04.320
<v Speaker 2>which helps the secondary. A full off season with the

0:56:04.360 --> 0:56:07.040
<v Speaker 2>coach as a team that is committed. So do you

0:56:07.160 --> 0:56:13.799
<v Speaker 2>think that this team, this program has shed everything that

0:56:13.840 --> 0:56:15.759
<v Speaker 2>weighed it down from the end of Jimbo and the

0:56:15.760 --> 0:56:16.759
<v Speaker 2>Willie Taggart era.

0:56:18.120 --> 0:56:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Probably not. But here's what we're getting there. I think

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:25.239
<v Speaker 1>they're getting there. They're getting there. Yeah, No, it's I

0:56:25.239 --> 0:56:30.040
<v Speaker 1>think going in a better direction. The problem here is

0:56:30.080 --> 0:56:35.799
<v Speaker 1>that in looking at the schedule, Notre Dame, Clemson in

0:56:35.840 --> 0:56:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Florida are on the schedule, which should I think should

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:47.280
<v Speaker 1>be losses, which leads virtually no wiggle room moving forward.

0:56:48.440 --> 0:56:52.120
<v Speaker 1>We've got Miami, We've got NC State road tilt against

0:56:52.120 --> 0:56:55.000
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. It seems like every team has a road

0:56:55.040 --> 0:56:56.879
<v Speaker 1>tilt against the North Carolina. They don't play any road

0:56:56.880 --> 0:57:03.719
<v Speaker 1>games themselves. Nine and three, no wiggle room. I could

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:07.160
<v Speaker 1>get behind that. I think I could get behind that. Dan.

0:57:09.520 --> 0:57:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Miami, Clemson, Florida, Notre Dame. It's four games, so

0:57:15.760 --> 0:57:19.360
<v Speaker 2>they have to go one in three at bare minimum,

0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:24.440
<v Speaker 2>and then beat up Jacksonville State, Wake, Louisville, Syracuse, UMass,

0:57:25.040 --> 0:57:27.120
<v Speaker 2>NC State, Miami, BC.

0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:31.439
<v Speaker 1>I could get behind this. I think, Yeah, your voice

0:57:31.520 --> 0:57:34.800
<v Speaker 1>is too high. I know it happens.

0:57:35.640 --> 0:57:40.320
<v Speaker 2>I think it's too big of a leap so in

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.240
<v Speaker 2>terms of how preposterous and spicy and outlandish it is.

0:57:44.400 --> 0:57:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Ah, I'm gonna go.

0:57:48.360 --> 0:57:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go with the Naga viper one point three mil

0:57:53.920 --> 0:58:01.400
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate the heat. It's too hot for me. Ooh,

0:58:01.560 --> 0:58:03.000
<v Speaker 2>by the way, do you know why you're supposed to

0:58:03.080 --> 0:58:06.560
<v Speaker 2>drink milk and not water if your mouth is on fire?

0:58:10.960 --> 0:58:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I heard this once, but I can't

0:58:12.880 --> 0:58:13.600
<v Speaker 1>recall the answer.

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:19.800
<v Speaker 2>There's no fat in water. Fat whatever globules or molecules

0:58:19.880 --> 0:58:24.080
<v Speaker 2>or some mules, it coats the mouth, and thus it

0:58:24.120 --> 0:58:27.720
<v Speaker 2>prevents the burning sensation, at least in a way that

0:58:27.800 --> 0:58:30.800
<v Speaker 2>water doesn't. So if you really wanted to go big,

0:58:30.840 --> 0:58:33.840
<v Speaker 2>you'd go like half in half or buttermilk or something, right,

0:58:34.000 --> 0:58:37.320
<v Speaker 2>if you really wanted to prevent against severe mouth burn.

0:58:37.880 --> 0:58:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But that's why water doesn't do much, doesn't code anything.

0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:45.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Scotch bond it here, three fifty.

0:58:45.400 --> 0:58:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Scotty bonbond Okay, So we didn't go full Carolina Reaper.

0:58:48.560 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a little bit disappointed.

0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm gonna go Scotty bonbond here. Okay. I I

0:58:55.800 --> 0:58:57.880
<v Speaker 1>think I've been higher on Florida state than most the

0:58:57.920 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 1>last two seasons and it's probably not going to Chane.

0:59:01.640 --> 0:59:06.080
<v Speaker 1>I do feel like they're getting closer to shedding all

0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:06.880
<v Speaker 1>that baggage.

0:59:09.400 --> 0:59:12.560
<v Speaker 2>To me, Florida State competing and being legit dangerous in

0:59:12.600 --> 0:59:16.520
<v Speaker 2>the ACC will need two recruiting classes that really work

0:59:16.560 --> 0:59:21.120
<v Speaker 2>out from Mike Norvell and falling backwards into three to

0:59:21.280 --> 0:59:25.560
<v Speaker 2>five guys in the transfer portal that fill and need

0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:28.560
<v Speaker 2>immediately and are exactly what they needed and wanted whatever.

0:59:29.000 --> 0:59:33.320
<v Speaker 2>So I think more time is needed. But I think

0:59:33.440 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the pursuit of quarterbacks, both on the transfer market and

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:38.440
<v Speaker 2>on the recruiting trail, we saw it with Chubba Party

0:59:38.480 --> 0:59:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and now Mackenzie Milton. Even if Mackenzie Milton is seventy

0:59:41.640 --> 0:59:44.840
<v Speaker 2>eight and a half percent of what he was, that's

0:59:45.240 --> 0:59:46.400
<v Speaker 2>a passing improvement.

0:59:46.480 --> 0:59:47.840
<v Speaker 1>That's still better than James Blackman.

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 2>That's noticeable. Yeah, I'm Jordan Travis. So yeah, the trajectory

0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:57.000
<v Speaker 2>is there. The trajectory is there, a little too much

0:59:57.040 --> 0:59:57.480
<v Speaker 2>heat for me.

1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:03.000
<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to post this scale again so that

1:00:03.040 --> 1:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>people can please do their own homework right in solidverbo

1:00:07.560 --> 1:00:08.320
<v Speaker 1>at gmail dot com.

1:00:08.360 --> 1:00:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Let us know and tell us the hottest pepper that

1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>you've consumed. Yeah, please do and how you dealt with it.

1:00:13.720 --> 1:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>We're I think, probably more interested in that. When I

1:00:16.400 --> 1:00:19.840
<v Speaker 1>took my anniversary trip up to Niagara Falls, my one

1:00:19.920 --> 1:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>year anniversary trip that I told you about. When Kate

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:25.320
<v Speaker 1>and I went up there, we stopped somewhere at Upstate

1:00:25.400 --> 1:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>New York, and I don't know why, but I was

1:00:28.080 --> 1:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>in the mood to just get, like, as an appetizer,

1:00:30.560 --> 1:00:34.520
<v Speaker 1>one of those plates of nachos, you know, and they said,

1:00:35.120 --> 1:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>do you want the peppers on it? I said sure.

1:00:38.040 --> 1:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It was one of those situations where I was I

1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>was smearing sour cream on my tongue to try and

1:00:44.320 --> 1:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>get the burnout. It was definitely hotter than a normal jalapeno.

1:00:48.800 --> 1:00:51.280
<v Speaker 1>That was probably the hottest thing I've ever experienced in

1:00:51.320 --> 1:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>my life.

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Was it a green pepper on nachos?

1:00:55.480 --> 1:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it was?

1:00:57.240 --> 1:01:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, a serrano is more than twice Torano's at

1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Chili Day. Audible, your new favorite. Those are red, so

1:01:05.000 --> 1:01:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure what green. Hobb and narrows are kind

1:01:07.520 --> 1:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>of neon orange, and I could see them on nachos,

1:01:11.080 --> 1:01:14.160
<v Speaker 2>but it would if you had Hobby Narow nachos. The

1:01:14.200 --> 1:01:16.520
<v Speaker 2>men you would almost assuredly say something.

1:01:16.480 --> 1:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>To give you like a flashing red warning of sorts. Yeah,

1:01:19.120 --> 1:01:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the Devil's tongue.

1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>This is so Yeah, it would have its own section,

1:01:24.440 --> 1:01:26.920
<v Speaker 2>its own spotlight within the menu. Maybe they were just

1:01:26.960 --> 1:01:28.040
<v Speaker 2>probably serranos.

1:01:29.520 --> 1:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Maybe they were just they.

1:01:30.880 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Went heavy seed. Maybe they went heavy seed with the halopanio.

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 1>It could be because I've I eat hallo opinions all

1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>the time. It's not a big deal that I can take.

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>But I've never experienced quite this level of heat.

1:01:45.280 --> 1:01:48.520
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm trying to think the hottest At a

1:01:48.560 --> 1:01:53.800
<v Speaker 2>couple of Asian restaurants. Indian restaurants, there have been surprise

1:01:54.040 --> 1:01:57.320
<v Speaker 2>chilis in a curry and a sauce and you get

1:01:57.320 --> 1:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>one of those where the sauce itself is spiced nice.

1:02:00.840 --> 1:02:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Everything has played well together, but then you get that

1:02:04.120 --> 1:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>surprise pepper and you need a minute or seven. That's

1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:11.280
<v Speaker 2>what That's what has got me in the past. We

1:02:11.400 --> 1:02:16.320
<v Speaker 2>have the Hobbenaro in Mexico on the taco that one

1:02:16.360 --> 1:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I remember specifically. I was there with Bill Barnwell. Actually

1:02:18.880 --> 1:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>he can attest to how delicious it was, but also

1:02:21.600 --> 1:02:25.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a the the woman we were with down there,

1:02:25.160 --> 1:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>she was like, look, I know you like salsa, but

1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:32.640
<v Speaker 2>we're talking treat it like an eye dropper type situation. Okay,

1:02:32.760 --> 1:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>and we did, we did, We followed the directions and

1:02:36.400 --> 1:02:37.680
<v Speaker 2>still it was.

1:02:39.440 --> 1:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>An eruption eruption. All right. Well that's all I have.
