I could put 20 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: the heating pad around it, but I've been told in 21 00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: my elderly age, you gotta do cold for the first 22 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: twenty five hours for inflammation purposes, and then bringing blood 23 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: to your muscles or I'm not a doctor, obviously, using 24 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: heat thereafter, so we're still in the first twenty four hours. 25 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: I just don't think it would make for a good show, 26 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: even less than what it already is if I were 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: wearing an ice pack around my right hamstring while recording it, 28 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: because I am old and washed up.

We're gonna give our reviews. We're going 58 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 2: to give you a little bit more context, maybe aid 59 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: you a little bit with respect to the point spread, 60 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: if that's the thing that you're into. 61 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, really. 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: This is the week between Christmas and New Year's so 63 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 2: there's a bunch of games they're starting, I guess to 64 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 2: get more prominent in terms of the team, so the 65 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: brand names that are playing in these games. So again, 66 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: we did the confidence preview like two weeks ago. Now 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: this is a more in depth quote unquote in depth 68 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 2: preview of the games here that are going to take 69 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: place over the next week or so. 70 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: I can only assume RG three is getting hornier and 71 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: hornier about football as bull season progresses. 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: I think that's a reasonable conclusion. Yeah, yeah, shall we 73 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 2: dive in. 74 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: Let's do it. 75 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: The borge with the Bulls is here, all the more 76 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: military Penstream, Texas holiday camping point caught first responders Music 77 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: City re boll Ange. 78 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: Balkhorn is so menacing, isn't it. 79 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: It's wonderful. Tye gets your attention as we are barreling 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: through the calendar. That is this cold canal. 81 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: I don't know where I'm going the cold Canal. Yes, 82 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: many of those games, as I said on the last show, 83 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 2: many of those games are not even a thing. 84 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: There is no Camping World Bowl anymore. Oh, we just 85 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: like the sound. We're going to keep it. That's true. 86 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 1: We're going to keep it. 87 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: Why don't we start off with the games that are 88 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 2: going to be played today? You and I have alternated 89 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: back and forth between the games that we're going to 90 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 2: look in until a little bit more detail with and 91 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: today's games on the twenty seventh start at noon Eastern 92 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: with the Camellia Bowl, Dan, what do. 93 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: You get for me? I think I have the Kamellia Bowl, right, 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: you do? I do have the Kamellia ble as I 95 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: bring it in front of me. All right, we have 96 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: Georgia Southern three and a half point favorites against Buffalo. 97 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: Sort of a strange finish and strange season for both 98 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: of these teams. Of course, Georgia Southern was the nail 99 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 1: in the Scott Frost coffin. 100 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sorry for the chortal there, but it's funny 101 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 2: that it was Clay Helton. 102 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: It's funny that it was Clay Hilton. But it's also 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: we discussed this on the previous Bowl preview show where 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: it was just like Eastern Michigan was the nail and 105 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: the Herm Edward's coffin, Like we've got kind of got 106 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: some nail programs. Georgia Southern lost three or four to finish, 107 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: but won that crazy shootout against app State. They beat 108 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: James Madison and as I mentioned, Nebraska, which are both 109 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: you know, especially for a program of Georgia Southern size, 110 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: pretty impressive. They won with Kyle Van Trees. Of course, 111 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: the Buffalo transfer so there's that little connective tissue there 112 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: short efficient throws. They survived with a bendee defense, so 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: they didn't break as much in the red zone. On 114 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: the flip side, Buffalo lost to Holy Cross if you 115 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: remember correctly, but they beat Toledo the MAC Champs. They 116 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: beat Eastern Michigan, the aforementioned Eastern Michigan program. Not much 117 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: else though they lost three of four to end. They're 118 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: sort of okay at everything, but in terms of explosive plays, 119 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: bad at generating them, bad at stopping them. Their linebackers 120 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: make a bajillion tackles. Sean Dolac is the name to know, 121 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: led the nation in solo tackles and maybe tackling Jalen 122 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: White a good amount. He's Georgia Southern's running back who 123 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: popped this season, and he can be very very good. 124 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: As you know, I enjoy betting against the Mac, so 125 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: I'm leaning Georgia Southern. He gotta lean Georgia Southern. 126 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: I have a really important question for you, though I'll 127 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 2: try to answer, and it's more of a semantic question 128 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: than anything, Dan, But Kyle Van Trees, the quarterback for 129 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 2: Georgia Southern, who you mentioned, he transferred to Georgia Southern 130 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: from Buffalo. So I'm wondering if Georgia Southern knocks off Buffalo, 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 2: can they be charged with then treason. 132 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to close this window for the show that 133 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: we're recording. The stream is now over. Thanks everybody for 134 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: listening around treason. Dan Van he's a Van Treasure. How 135 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: about that Van Treasure? I like that better. Yeah, more 136 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: of a positive note here. Yeah, I'm going Georgia Southern 137 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: here in the Amelia. I'm with you in Georgia Southern. 138 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 2: The other thing that you didn't mention is that Buffalo 139 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: has got a handful of guys who are in the 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: portal and so interestingly, they've basically got zero quarterback depth 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: because both their number two and number three quarterbacks are 142 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: in the portal and playing in the game. So if 143 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 2: the if the top guy goes down, that we could 144 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: be in for like a Dennis Northcutt situation where Buffalo's 145 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 2: got to try some stuff on offense just to move 146 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: the football they're running back. Also, Ron Cooke Junior excuse me, 147 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: did not play in the regular season finale. Will have 148 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: to see what what transpires here in this game. If 149 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: that's going to be a thing or not, but yeah, 150 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: they it. I don't like the transfer situation for Buffalo, 151 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: and I do think that there will be a Van 152 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: Treasure Van treesan type of scenario working in favor of 153 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: Georgia Southern Eagles, by the way, a decent team this year. 154 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: Backea totally decent have those impressive wins. I mentioned JAMU 155 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: and Nebraska, and you know how I feel. We mentioned 156 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: this recently. I love an emergency quarterback. Yeah, I love 157 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: the like break in case of fire quarterback where all 158 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: right on the back of the play sheet there are 159 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: six plays and six plays only and we'll see if 160 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: any of them work. Yeah, I love it. All right, 161 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: let's go to a little bit later on today. 162 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 2: Thanks for doing this in real time in the podcasting world. 163 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: The First Responders Bowl, which they play in Dallas between 164 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: Memphis and Utah State. Memphis at time of recording is 165 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: a seven point favorite. 166 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: I was pretty much. 167 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: Out on Utah State in terms of this matchup, even 168 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: before I saw some of the variables. It feels like 169 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: a pretty big mismatch to me. And then I saw 170 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 2: that Calvin Tyler, the leading rusher for Utah State, declared 171 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 2: for the draft he's not going to play. I don't like, 172 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 2: I don't really feel the need to go that much 173 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 2: into tail here with this game. I really like Memphis 174 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 2: minus seven okay a lot. I looked at some of 175 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: the projections that we have access to. Some of the 176 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 2: projections feel that Memphis is a three touchdown favorite in 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: this game, just a seven point favorite. So I don't know, 178 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: like the combination of that statistical mismatch with the fact 179 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: that Utah State is going to be without a key contributor. 180 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: I don't like betting against Utah State because of what 181 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: they did last year. Like I'm still I still remember 182 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: how well they finished. 183 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Strong if they won five of seven to finish the season. 184 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: And they played strong down the stretch, which is definitely 185 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 2: something that I consider. But I just feel like Memphis 186 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 2: is way better, and so I'm in on Memphis minus 187 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 2: the number. 188 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: So which of these teams' resume is shakier. I know 189 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: I'm putting you on the spot here, but like Memphis 190 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: lost four straight in the middle of the season, did 191 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: Memphis only beat up on like not good teams? That's 192 00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: the word to me about Memphis, That's what it appears 193 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: to be. They basically played four good, five good teams 194 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: and lost to all of them. On the American level, 195 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: they lose to Mississippi State earlier in the season. That's 196 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: what worries me. That are like, Okay, Memphis is decent. 197 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: They performed decently well, but they don't actually win games. Now, 198 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 1: I don't think Utah States a decent one. And that's 199 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: a counterpoint. The counter the resume. Yeah, the counterpoint is correct. 200 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: You are correct, and that is I think a legitimate 201 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 1: concern with Memphis. I don't think Utah States that team. 202 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Utah States fair all that good. If 203 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: you look at their resume, it was also beating up 204 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: of a lot of bad teams. And their sp plus number, 205 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: which we go by in many respects, is not that 206 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: high either. Right, this feels like to me a mismatch 207 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,599 Speaker 1: in favorite of Memphis. Okay, fair enough, Let's go to 208 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: later today, six forty five pm Easter Time. 209 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: The tickets Smarter shifting time tickets Smarter Birmingham Bowl Dame 210 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 2: between Coastal and East Carolina, the Battle of Carolina here. 211 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, so Coastal's out. I mean, this is on that 212 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: falls under your care rubric or your care acronym. Right, 213 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: they're out head coach, they're out Grays and McCall. It's 214 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 1: a very different looking Schantz team. So East Carolina favored 215 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: by seven and a half. Coastal lost their last two 216 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: of the season decisively on the roan on the road. 217 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: Excuse me. They throw better than they ran. That's with 218 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: Grayson McCall. They beat Marshall and app State, so that's something. 219 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: Their defense was at times catastrophically bad, and they just 220 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: they were built that. They're better. Seasons these past couple 221 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: of years were built on upper classmen in a creative 222 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: offensive system and winning close, you know, nails late in 223 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: the clutch portion of games. But I don't know, man, 224 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: I'm I understand why East Carolina is a seven and 225 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: a half point favorite here. They beat Memphis the Pirates. 226 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: Did they beat Memphis? They beat UCF. It's a pretty 227 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: good offense. Holt Naylor's has been around there for thirty 228 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: seven years. They got destroyed through the air though, on defense, 229 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: and so that makes for entertain games. You remember what 230 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: ec was doing early on in the season, almost beat 231 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: NC State. Keith Mitchell full on star at running back 232 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: for East Carolina. So that's why it's worth watching that 233 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: hopefully we get just a good chunk of forty eight 234 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: forty three football in this game. 235 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got news. The line is now ten and 236 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: a half points. Oh my god, it's jumped all right, 237 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: damn ten and a half points. And I think it's 238 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 2: because of the Care. Honestly, I think the word has 239 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 2: gotten out in Vegas about the Care acronym. 240 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, the word has gotten out. 241 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 2: Without Grayson McCall, without the coach. Those aren't the only 242 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: two guys. By the way, they're starting center is in 243 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: the portal. They've got a defensive end, They've got two cornerbacks, 244 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 2: so there's gonna be a bit of turnover here that 245 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 2: Coastal is gonna have to deal with. And they already 246 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: had some limitations, especially on the defensive side of the ball. 247 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: So East he's a good team. 248 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: He's us another one of these teams that I, you know, 249 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: I think is sort of underrated. Decidedly average with respect 250 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: to the grand whole of like the one hundred and 251 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: thirty odd teams in FBS, but not bad, not most 252 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 2: as an offensive team, and decent enough on defense. 253 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: Most if not all, of these matchups are worth watching. 254 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 1: This one will give you. It seems a good amount 255 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: of offensive chaos. So I've already saved it on my 256 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: YouTube TV. 257 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: Beautiful all right, Carolina, I'm on Eastern Carolina. 258 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: Here, I'm on East Carolina as well. 259 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 2: The guaranteed rate ball Dan here's a doozy. 260 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: All right. It is sort of the show piece. 261 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: Of this evening again the twenty seventh, if you're listening 262 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 2: to this on Tuesday the twenty seventh. Otherwise, yeah, this 263 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 2: is a live show. Please fast forward through this bit. 264 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 2: Guaranteed rate ball is Wisconsin is Oklahoma State was constant 265 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 2: favored by a field ball here in this game. They 266 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: played this one out in Arizona Chase Field, ten pm 267 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 2: Eastern Time on ESPN. Maybe don't save this one to 268 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: your YouTube team. 269 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: My thought unlimited DVR TYE unlimited not a sponsor, could be. 270 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: This game could be about forty five minutes long. Well, 271 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: there's a lot going on here. There's a lot more 272 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 2: going out than than going in. So Graham Mertz transferring, 273 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 2: which means we're going to see Chase Wolf for Miles 274 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 2: Burkeett under center. Wisconsin also going to be without Joe 275 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: Tipman their center, Keenan Bent and their defensive lineman Jayshaw, 276 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: their cornerback, their linebacker Nick Herbig declared for the NFL Draft. 277 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: Jim Leonard is going to be leading the troops into 278 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: battle here. But there's an important caveat that I think 279 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: swings things in the direction of Wisconsin, and that is 280 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 2: that Luke Fickle, the incoming coach, plans to coach in 281 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 2: some capacity. Okay, weird, Okay, some capacity? Now what in 282 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 2: some capacity? I don't think a I don't think he's 283 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: going to be on the field. We're in a headset, yeah, 284 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: but he's definitely going to be in the booth. And 285 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: it sounds as if he's going to have some limited 286 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 2: role with respect to preparation, obviously with an eye towards 287 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: next season, okay, but some limited capacity he will be 288 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 2: helping out in advance of this bowl game. So if 289 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: we're looking at this from the care perspective, who cares, 290 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 2: who doesn't? I think you could draw logical conclusion that 291 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: anybody who's going to be playing for Wisconsin next season 292 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 2: is going to be trying to show out as a 293 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: new coach. 294 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 3: Right. 295 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: So I think contrast that with what we're seeing on 296 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: the Oklahoma state side, which is a They played like 297 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: crap down the stretch. 298 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: They look terrible. 299 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 2: B Spencer Sanders, who has really been the engine for 300 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: much of the offense for the last two years, really 301 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 2: he's gone. He's transferring. He's not playing in this game. 302 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: We saw a little bit of what the backups did 303 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: in his absences year when he couldn't play due to 304 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: injury that wasn't right. And then we've also got Mason Cobb, 305 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: Dominic Richardson trees for Thomas Harper, guys who are transferring out. 306 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: So this to me seems like a slam dunk on 307 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 2: the Wisconsin side. That said, I don't know what kind 308 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: of offense they're gonna be running, but in terms of who 309 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: cares more, I think the team that cares more is 310 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 2: probably Wisconsin here, so I'm gonna go Badgers. I'm not 311 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: supremely confident in it. I don't really want to bet 312 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: it because I don't trust their offense, But in terms 313 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 2: of who's winning, I think it's I think it's the Badgers. 314 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 1: This is an interesting trial run for one of my 315 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: new theories of capacity for collapse, and I think Oklahoma 316 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: State is an elite team is an elite collapse team, 317 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 1: whereas Wisconsin even when they're bad, even when Wisconsin clearly 318 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have it, Like they got drilled by Ohio State, 319 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: but that's somewhat defensible. They get drilled by Illinois. But 320 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: the back half of the season when they make the change, 321 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: it's sort of a snip snap win loss, win loss. 322 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: But they're not losing by a bajillion points, you know, 323 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: lost by a couple touchdowns to Iowa. Sure, that's embarrassing. 324 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,879 Speaker 1: They're not losing thirty eight to three, right. There is 325 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: still a little bit of moxie, a little bit of juice, 326 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: and a little bit of pride to Wisconsin in down 327 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,400 Speaker 1: moments that didn't always exist for Oklahoma State. So that's 328 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: why I think Wisconsin has less of a capacity for 329 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: collapse barely English, if any of it. 330 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 3: That is. 331 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: So, I'm going with the Badgers here, and this game 332 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: could be a train wreck, but as you pointed out, 333 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: it could be a very quick train wreck. 334 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, this could be a forty five minute game with 335 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 2: a lot of rushing yards and punts. 336 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: This could be a divorg ac game. Yeah, honestly, yeah, 337 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: you might be able to fit all of the highlights 338 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: in this game into a how long does TikTok allow you? 339 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: How long is it? You know, sixty seconds? Here's everything 340 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: from the game. Nice YouTube show every meaningful snap. Yeah 341 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: that's all. Let's let's travel ahead in time. Dan, boodoo, 342 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: boodoo boodoo, let's go to tomorrow. All right. If you're 343 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 1: listening to this on Wednesday. 344 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to the future. I'm ty, He's Dan. Let's 345 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 2: talk about the Military Bowl presented by Paraton. Okay, Caraton. 346 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: I'm ready to do the can't be done, is what 347 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 2: they say on their website. Do the can't be done, 348 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: be inspired, do the can't be can't be done. Paraton 349 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 2: drives missions of consequence, spanning the globe and extending to 350 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: the farthest reaches of the galaxy. 351 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: Jesus, So, Duke won a bunch of games, and they 352 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: were a couple of gusta wind away from being ten 353 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: and two, which feels like something that can't be done, 354 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: but too Yeah, I think it was the close losses 355 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: to North Carolina and Pitt was that who it was 356 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: that Duke. I think it was two losses by buying 357 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: five points. That Duke was right there and had the 358 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: opportunity they get UCF UCF notably beats Tulane loses to 359 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: to in the American Championship Game. They lose their defensive coordinator, 360 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: Travis Williams to Arkansas, who's replacing Barry Otum who took 361 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 1: the UNLV job. It's been an eventful year, I would 362 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: say for UCF another active portal year, but it's an 363 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: active portal year for everybody. UCF beat Cincinnati, though that 364 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,880 Speaker 1: loses a little bit of its luster. They ran better 365 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: than they threw, which is not surprising consider John Rice Plumbley, 366 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,800 Speaker 1: when healthy, was the guy in the electric player with 367 00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, but not always dependable in 368 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: terms of leading a team down the field consistently through 369 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: the air. Tremon Morris bash very very good for UCF. Duke, 370 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 1: as we know, an incredible year and Mike Elko's first 371 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: season a great turnover margin. They protected the ball, they 372 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: turned teams over, they tackled well. They just fixed a 373 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 1: lot and fixed a lot quickly, and that always helps 374 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 1: when you have a quarterback like Riley Leonard. It's obviously 375 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 1: the name to know for the Blue Devils. Yeah, the 376 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 1: defense wasn't amazing, but they prevented big plays and once 377 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: again they won four or five to finish, they were 378 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 1: an impressive team that didn't shoot themselves in the foot 379 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: and a couple of breaks here and there, and it's 380 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: an even more impressive season for Mike Elcho and Duke. 381 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: So this is one of the more fun games because 382 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: both of these teams, when operating at full capacity or 383 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: just healthy, won a bunch beat good teams. And so 384 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: I'm circling this one with a bright red sharpie to watch. 385 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, the UCF side of things again, just to kind 386 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 2: of recap what we talked about when we did the 387 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: confidence preview. They've got some guys in the portal, mikey Keen, 388 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 2: backup quarterback, now backup quarterback, mikey Keen again the backup, 389 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 2: but he's going elsewhere. Their top receiver, their top linebacker, 390 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: they've got a defensive back. All these guys transferring out, 391 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: and I just feel like with Duke's drive to get 392 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 2: to eight and four, it's been it's been a hell 393 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: of a season. So I'm all in on Duke here. 394 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 2: I feel pretty good about their chances. 395 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: I feel good about Duke as well. 396 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: Let's go to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Dan getting the zone, 397 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 2: Arkansas against Kansas, Arkansas favored by three. 398 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: This is one of the. 399 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 2: Games that I'm I'm inclined to actually bet. 400 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Real money on this one with Kansas. Wow, is it 401 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: really that hard to believe? 402 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: Yeah? 403 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: I mean, the Kansas defense is still not great and 404 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: they're kJ Jefferson at his best is tough. I know, 405 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: I know. Arkansas is down a bunch of players too. 406 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 2: I get that Barry otom left for UNLV, not that 407 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: their defense was anything to really write home about, but 408 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 2: Barry Otom leaves Drew Sanders, who was first team All SEC, 409 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: their center Ricky Stromberg, who was first team All SEC. 410 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: Both those guys opted out to prepare for the draft, 411 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 2: Bumper pool out due to injury. They've also got Miles 412 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: Slusher and receivers Jayden Hazelwood and kee Tron Jackson entering 413 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: the portal, So they're gonna be down some guys. kJ 414 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: Jefferson is still there, gonna be back next year as well, 415 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 2: which is good news for Arkansas. But again, I tend 416 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: to come down on the side of the fence of 417 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: the team that cares more, and Kansas getting to a 418 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 2: bowl game is a major accomplishment for this program. Yeah, 419 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: it's a major accomplishment for this program. 420 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: I think they want to go out in. 421 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: A high note. I just feel like this game means 422 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 2: a whole lot more to Kansas than it does Arkansas. 423 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: So that's why. 424 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 2: It does it does right, that does Arkansas. Now that 425 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: being said, despite the fact that Arkansas is down a 426 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 2: bunch of guys, I feel like they did a pretty 427 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: good job navigating some rough waters there towards like like 428 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,239 Speaker 2: right after the midway point in the season, when it's 429 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: zeedyke teams had figured them out, we weren't sure what 430 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 2: was going on. They seem to have righted that ship 431 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 2: in a good way. But I still tend to come 432 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 2: down on the Kansas side of this year. So I'm 433 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: on Kansas outright. 434 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: I like Kansas as well. I don't know if I 435 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: love them as much as you do, but you make 436 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: some good points and it just worries me that who 437 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: to Arkansas beat Penn State last year? Yeah, the Bowl 438 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 1: game easy to get up for Penn State, huge, major 439 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: historic program, a lot of eyeballs. More difficult even though 440 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: you know Kansas is better this year, even though you 441 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: know their offense, especially when healthy, is pretty dangerous. Tough 442 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: if you're Arkansas losing, what you do, losing a defensive 443 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: coordinator that they just want to get to next year. 444 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 1: And Kansas is like, oh my god, what is it 445 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 1: like to go to a bowl game? I like Kansas 446 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: in terms of the care as well. Dan, let's go 447 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: to the Holiday Bowl? All right? How much time do 448 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: you have? 449 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 2: A friend of mine a family member of mine? 450 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 451 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 2: Actually both message me and they were wondering, is there 452 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: really a bull sponsor named the San Diego County Credit 453 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 2: at Union? What is bowl season coming to? And I said, hey, man, 454 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: they've been sponsoring this game forever. 455 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: I don't know how many years it has been, but well, 456 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: there used to be the San Diego County Credit Union 457 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: point Setia Bowl and there was the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. 458 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: To those of us, the Holiday heads in the audience, 459 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: I obviously know what's going on with if you remember. 460 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 1: I think it was the point Setia Bowl that was 461 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: crazy flooded. What was the Navy played in that one? 462 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: I believe Navy was in that one. So it was 463 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: nice to make the connection to you know, Navies used 464 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: to playing in rough waters kind of thing. So yes, 465 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: a real bowl sponsor. There used to be two bowl 466 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: games in San Diego. I used to go to that 467 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: game when was at the old Murph the Murder right. 468 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: Now it's at the Well Jack Murphy at Peco. Now 469 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: they're playing at Petco now. But then what was it 470 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,359 Speaker 1: called Qualcomm? I believe it was Qualcomm Stadium was the game? 471 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: I mean, some of us old heads go way back. 472 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 2: I've never been to the Holiday Bowl, but some of 473 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: us remember the old Culligan Holiday Bowl. 474 00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Ty, look at you. 475 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. 476 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 1: See the only thing with the Pacific Life is you 477 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: get the disco well, which is great. You get that 478 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: commercial a bunch. We have a headline quarterback matchup. Both 479 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks had to announce for various reasons that they're coming 480 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: back to their schools next year bow Nicks and Drake May. 481 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: As we mentioned, this is one of the best, if 482 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 1: not the best, other than CJ. Stroudstats and Bennett quarterback 483 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: matchup of all of Bowl season. Both of these teams 484 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: losing key key dudes to opt outs and the transfer portal. 485 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: There should be a ton of offense in this one. 486 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: North Carolina and Oregon both moving on after offensive coordinators 487 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: left Phil Longo from North Carolina to Wisconsin. Kenny Dillingham 488 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: takes the Arizona State head coaching job, and so in 489 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: a number of ways they are sort of mirror images 490 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,360 Speaker 1: of each other, these two programs, with defensive struggles costing 491 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: them in key spots struggling down the stretch. Oregon loses 492 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: two of three with a beat up bon Nicks to Washington, 493 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: Oregon State too good teams North Carolina I think do 494 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: they lose their final three, including getting decimated by Clemson 495 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 1: in the the ACC Championship game. I can't wait for this. 496 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: I can't wait for it because there's going to be 497 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: a lot of nonsense, no Josh downs, Oregon down, some 498 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: key dudes on defense that that opted out. I just 499 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: think it's going to be madness. There are going to 500 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: be players running free. How do you handicap a game 501 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: like this? 502 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 3: Then? 503 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 2: Because neither team played much of much of quality defense. Yeah, 504 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 2: this year, I mean Oregon's was substantially better than North Carolina's, 505 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 2: which we give Iowa a lot of crap for how 506 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: much of a half team they were. North Carolina is 507 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: pretty much on the other side of that. They were 508 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 2: more fun to watch because of Drake May because the 509 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 2: offense was pretty good for most of the season until 510 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 2: teams seemingly figured them out. But the defense was it 511 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 2: was pretty bad. I mean it was, Yeah, it was 512 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 2: well outside the top one hundred nationally. So you consider 513 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 2: the fact that they're going to be down a bunch 514 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 2: of key defenders and they were already bad on defense. 515 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: You consider the fact that Oregon down what Christian zalees 516 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:11,240 Speaker 2: right top defensive back. They weren't great on defense either. 517 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: The point spread is fourteen in favor of Oregon, which 518 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 2: feels like a lot in a shootout or a potential shootout. 519 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 2: I do think Oregon is substantially better, but that feels 520 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: like a lot of points to me. 521 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: It's a ton of points. Both of these teams are 522 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,680 Speaker 1: going to be playing a good amount of untested youth 523 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,919 Speaker 1: on defense. I think why I might be inclined to 524 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: say Oregon is worth the defensive dice roll is because 525 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 1: Dan Lanning is a more proven defensive mind than anybody 526 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: North Carolina has on a sideline. All due respect to 527 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: jeene Chiswick, but the current version of jene Chiswick. I 528 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 1: know he had some terrific years calling defenses way way 529 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120 Speaker 1: back when for Mack Brown at Texas, But right now 530 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: I think with how Dan Lanning and that defensive staff 531 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: at least shut down and forced turnovers when they played 532 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 1: Utah Pack twelve champion in Utah. At least you've seen 533 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: it in action. Sometimes you didn't see it against Oregon 534 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,679 Speaker 1: State the following week against the run, absolutely not. But 535 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,400 Speaker 1: there is that hope that they can figure out stops 536 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: down good players, thin, young whatever, against a North Carolina 537 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: team down that didn't really run the ball like they 538 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: did the past couple of years. Right, Drake May, I 539 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: think was the leading rusher for this team, so they 540 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: don't have that element to their offense in the way 541 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 1: that Oregon does as the most efficient rushing team in 542 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: the nation, I believe. So that I think is the 543 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: X factor that when you have somebody like Drake May 544 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: who has to be counted on even more so without 545 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: Josh Downs to do everything and comes into this game 546 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: not playing super well, that Oregon might have the advantage. 547 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: Might Let's go to. 548 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 2: The final game of today, Wednesday, the twenty eighth, Let's 549 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 2: go down to the nerg in Houston, if we could. Yeah, 550 00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 2: Texas Bowl at tax Act Texas Bowl Texas tech Ole 551 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 2: miss Ole, miss favored by three and a half points. 552 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: Looks like Tyler Shuck's going to get the start good 553 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: for Tech in this game. Donovan Smith is transferring Baron Morton, 554 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 2: the freshman who saw some significant time this year. He's 555 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: still recovering from injury. And I do want to do 556 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of a reversal if I could. If 557 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: that's okay with you. 558 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: That's okay. 559 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 2: You called something out in real time when we did 560 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 2: the confidence preview that wasn't quite as apparent to me 561 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 2: as it is now. But you know, the guiding precept, 562 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 2: the whole the foundation on which my entire Bowl picking 563 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 2: strategy is built. Care Care, the care acronym. It starts 564 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 2: off with, how did a team look down the stretch? 565 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 2: Ole Miss looked like crap down the stretch? 566 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,320 Speaker 1: They did? They looked They looked like crap down the stretch. 567 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: And so if I want to be consistent here, I 568 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 2: should reverse my pick from Old Miss and go Texas Tech. 569 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: I think you're already on Texas Tech, right. 570 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: I am on Texas Tech. Yeah, another team, new coach, 571 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: new energy, you know, a defense that came to play sometimes, 572 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: which is new sometimes for Texas Tech. 573 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 2: I'm not crazy about flipping my commitment here to the 574 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: Texas Tech side, But it actually would be quite fitting 575 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: for me to do so, given how high I've been 576 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 2: on them all season long, Like, why why quit now? 577 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: Right? 578 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: That's true? 579 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: Way Quinn, Now, I've been doing this for twenty weeks. 580 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: Why quit now? Agent of Chaos? Yeah? Yeah, So I'm 581 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: going to flip my pick here. 582 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Texas Tech plus three and 583 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 2: a half and I'll probably change it up in the 584 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 2: confidence pool as well, since I think it'll let me. 585 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm a little I'm a little weirded out 586 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:43,760 Speaker 2: by how old miss looked down the stretch. Luga Altmeyer transferring, 587 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 2: not that that plays a huge deal, but a name 588 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 2: to look out for. By the time people hear this, 589 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: I think there's probably a high likelihood you will have 590 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 2: announced for one team or another. But I just I'm 591 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: going to go with the team that I think has 592 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 2: more to play for, cares more about this game. Tyler Schuck, 593 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: maybe this is his swan song to go out on 594 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: a high note. I don't know, not crazy about betting 595 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 2: with him, but give me the Red Raiders here. 596 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 1: It's also right, it's also Lane Kiffin season off the field, 597 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: not that it isn't for literally every other coach, but 598 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,239 Speaker 1: if he's the portal king, right, it's figuring out if 599 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: you want to. There's so many guys that I think 600 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: in Ole Miss are figuring out if they still have 601 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: a job, if they will not job quote unquote, but 602 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: still figuring out if Oxford is the place for them. 603 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 1: The defense got noticeably worse this year. They didn't close 604 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, they weren't competitive, but they weren't closing games. Well, 605 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: we saw it in the Egg Bowl, and it's just 606 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: does that take a toll? Right, that are you going 607 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: to get up if you're Ole Miss for Texas Tech 608 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:42,959 Speaker 1: to finish out the year after trying to get up 609 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 1: for all these huge SEC opponents that I think falls 610 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: under your care thing as well, losing the way that 611 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: they did down the stretch. I just think it's tough 612 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: to sort of turn that aircraft carrier around if you're 613 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: Old Miss. 614 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I tend to agree with you. And you know, 615 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 2: despite the fact that I still think Old Miss is 616 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 2: a better team, it really does come down to for me. 617 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: Who cares? Who cares about this game more? Yeah? 618 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: And you know, by the way, just out of curiosity, yeah, 619 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 2: quick geography lesson I'm ready, Which do you think is 620 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: closer to Houston, Texas, Lubbock, Texas, or Oxford, Mississippi. 621 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Oxford, Mississippi because of the way you 622 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: phrase this, and because I know Lubbock is way way 623 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: out there that the expanse between central and West Texas 624 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: and Houston of course is in southeast Texas. But it's 625 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 1: like seven states the meat of Texas. So I'll say Ole, 626 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: miss But maybe it's Lubbock by like a hair, don't. 627 00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,239 Speaker 2: I believe it's Lubbock by a hair. I'm looking up 628 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 2: on Google Maps at the moment. It's pretty close. So 629 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 2: as Bowl locations go, and this is this isn't often 630 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: the case. This is fairly equidistant from Lubbock, which is 631 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 2: you know, we've described it to Mars and Oxford. 632 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think Tech fans are going 633 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,280 Speaker 1: to travel really really well for this. They're excited to 634 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: be in this game. Big Marquee SEC. Opponent's great in 635 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: a nice place too. I mean, it is a nice 636 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: play to play, a nice place to play a game. 637 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: So good good on Texas Tech for getting this Bowl 638 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: game and for I think having a really successful first 639 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: season under Joey Maguire and eat your face is off 640 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: in Houston, right, this Isn't you have any res in Houston. 641 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: I really like Hugos Mexican food place, really really good. Okay, 642 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: sit down Mexican. There's I mean there's great trucks and 643 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: carts and everything like that. Grocery store is all that. 644 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: But in terms of a good sit down Mexican place, 645 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:39,160 Speaker 1: Hugos you can eat bugs. Oh yeah, I'm good. Eat 646 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 1: some crickets. It's great. 647 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 2: Travel ahead in time, if we could, there's the twenty ninth. 648 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: Bad Boy Mowers. 649 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 2: They're getting in on the Pinstripe Bowl. Now, Dan, okay, Houston, 650 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,520 Speaker 2: see you later. Let's go up north. Let's go to 651 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium. I'm a true historic venue, unlike the Nerd. 652 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: And let's talk about Syracuse and Minnesota, Dan, who you 653 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 2: got here? 654 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: Probably Minnesota, just because the strengths and weaknesses sort of 655 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: aligned with Minnesota running the ball and Syracuse struggling on 656 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: offense at times, certainly struggling upfront on defense to stop 657 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: the run. Syracuse still had a largely decent offense. It's 658 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 1: just a matter at this point like who's going to 659 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: hang around? 660 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 3: You know? 661 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,960 Speaker 1: Ronde Gadsden broke through Shantucker we already knew was very 662 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: very good. Garrett Trader, I liked more than you liked. 663 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: When healthy. The big thing is Minnesota does such a 664 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: great job of getting the hell off the field. I 665 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: think they were something like fifth and third and out 666 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: forcing three and outs. Yeah, three and outs force percentage 667 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: whatever the rate thereof. So I really like the combination 668 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: of hopefully Minnesota getting a little healthier on offense and 669 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,399 Speaker 1: what Minnesota brings on defense, and they were a beat 670 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: up team all year long. You know, Tanner Morgan missed 671 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: a ton of time, but MOI wera him running through 672 00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: the Syracuse front does not seem all that far fetched 673 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: for me. So I think Minnesota will be happy in 674 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: this game. I think Syracuse is going to bring a 675 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: good crowd to Yankee Stadium, a big New York area, 676 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: our big Syracuse area in the Tri state area. So 677 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: I'm excited for the energy in this game. But ultimately 678 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: I think I like Minnesota here. Syracuse some playmakers on defense, 679 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: just not really up front here. Marlo Wax was very 680 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: very good, and all things considered, by the way, from Minnesota, 681 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 1: kind of a what if here, right, just because of 682 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: the experience they had on both sides of the ball 683 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: Fielding the defense that they did and then losing the 684 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,080 Speaker 1: way they did to Iowa and Purdue just kind of 685 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: stupid and it could have been another ten win year 686 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,840 Speaker 1: for Minnesota. 687 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. 688 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: Good, good season for Syracuse. By any stretch, we were 689 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 2: riding their obituary at the start of the year. We 690 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 2: weren't into Syracuse at all. But they turned it around 691 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 2: in a really significant way, and in particular, really good 692 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 2: start to the season petered out down the stretch, but 693 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 2: the schedule got more difficult. They took care of business 694 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,680 Speaker 2: early in order to qualify for this Bowl game. Minnesota 695 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: favored by ten now at time of recording, so ten 696 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 2: to agree with. You tend to agree with Vegas that 697 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,359 Speaker 2: Minnesota is just the better team here. Curious to see 698 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,279 Speaker 2: what happens with Tanner Morgan. He missed the last couple 699 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 2: of games due to injury, but regardless of whether or 700 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 2: not he plays, it just feels like Minnesota is probably 701 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: more battle tested. 702 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,480 Speaker 1: I would never bet on Minnesota minus ten. 703 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 2: Insane, and that's probably that probably extends to most opponents. 704 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 2: It's just I can't trust him. They're one of the 705 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,439 Speaker 2: Mom teams for me, right along with Oklahoma State and 706 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,640 Speaker 2: Mississippi State, but teams that I've had a really hard 707 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 2: time just quantifying with respect of the spread. So I 708 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 2: probably go Syracuse plus the number, but I think Minnesota 709 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 2: takes it out right, all right. Chee at bowld time 710 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: Baby Okay, Cheese It Bowl Oklahoma Florida State. Interesting matchup. 711 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 2: Florida State favored by nine and a half points. Oklahoma 712 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 2: has a fair amount of just movement that we need 713 00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 2: to discuss both. 714 00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: Starting especially after eating a lot of cheese. It's you 715 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,360 Speaker 1: might expect a lot of movement, you didn't you. 716 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,800 Speaker 2: Or maybe not, or maybe a full lack of movement 717 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 2: for full lack of movement, right, It's a case of 718 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 2: extremes here with the Cheeses Bowl. We've got starting tackles 719 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 2: Anton Harrison and Juanya Morris. We've got defensive linemen Jalen Redman, 720 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 2: running back Eric Gray all opting out to prepare for 721 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,919 Speaker 2: the draft. Yep, the oise and the transfer portal. 722 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,080 Speaker 1: We talked about him before. 723 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, on the Florida State side, I do think it's 724 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 2: a different story. I think it's a team that wants 725 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,959 Speaker 2: to be there. Jordan Travis coming back next season. That's 726 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 2: a big deal. Also, Jammie Robinson as well as Jared 727 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,560 Speaker 2: Verse to bonafit I pro Prospects. I decided we're playing 728 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 2: in the game. Great, they care, these guys care. It's 729 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 2: close to home in Orlando. I feel like there is 730 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 2: no reason to not pick Florida State here, and I 731 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,400 Speaker 2: realize that may have also been a double negative, but whatever, 732 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 2: you get my point. 733 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 1: You have every reason in the world to pick Florida State. 734 00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: Every reason in the world picked Florida State here. 735 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 2: And that's not to say that Oklahoma violates the care 736 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:32,799 Speaker 2: that the see to any great degree. They do have 737 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 2: some activity here in the portal with guys opting out, 738 00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,400 Speaker 2: so maybe on that level, but it's not like this 739 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,800 Speaker 2: team played demonstrably worse down the stretch. They just after 740 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,640 Speaker 2: that Texas game, everybody's eyes were opened and we all 741 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 2: realize the same moment in the college football season that 742 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 2: Oklahoma had some. 743 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: Work to do. 744 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 2: So I think I feel better about Florida State in 745 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,759 Speaker 2: this matchup. Again. Nine and a half points. Now, nine 746 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 2: and a half points. 747 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,799 Speaker 1: Is a lot, but. 748 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 2: It feels like Florida State is definitely going in a much, 749 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 2: much different direction, more more optimistic direction, at least at 750 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 2: present than Oklahoma. So I'm on the knowles here, and 751 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 2: I guess if I were betting, I'd probably lay the points, 752 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 2: even though that feels like a lot, right. 753 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 1: I love Florida State here Oklahoma, I still believe in 754 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four improvement, taking steps forward. 755 00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: Whatever the always not a huge deal, wasn't a huge 756 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,920 Speaker 1: contributor to their offense. I don't believe Eric Raye a 757 00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,480 Speaker 1: big deal, and I just don't. I don't see where 758 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,120 Speaker 1: the points and stops are coming from for Oklahoma. They 759 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: gave up fifty to Texas Tech to end the year. 760 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,399 Speaker 1: They lose three or four to end the season, So yes, 761 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,840 Speaker 1: they weren't as bad as they appeared with their backup 762 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:50,360 Speaker 1: quarterback against Texas or whoever TCU. But whatever it needs fixing, 763 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,800 Speaker 1: which is a lot for Oklahoma, it's not going to 764 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,560 Speaker 1: happen between Thanksgiving and this week. So I'm in on 765 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 1: Florida State. Oklahoma one of those teams that's just ready 766 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: to be done with year one, ready to be done 767 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: with your one. 768 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on and let's talk about the 769 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 2: Valero Alamobile. 770 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,320 Speaker 1: Dan another game. You should be circling in red sharpie 771 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: to you know, cancel all plans and find a seat 772 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 1: on a comfortable couch. Washington Texas Texas four point favorite 773 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: is the last TI I'm saying. I don't know if 774 00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,759 Speaker 1: you have something else. Four point four points. Jon Robinson, Yeah, 775 00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: Bjehon Robinson, Rosehaan Johnson, Demarvian Overshown obviously the huge names 776 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 1: not playing in this game, but Texas a very quiet 777 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:35,160 Speaker 1: improved year over the course of the season, especially on defense. Now, 778 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,520 Speaker 1: not playing with Overshown is a big deal, but the 779 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 1: offensive line gets better. Quinn Ewers slowly but surely makes 780 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,479 Speaker 1: more plays. Not having Bjon Robinson though, that's a big deal. Yeah. 781 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,000 Speaker 1: Now Texas is still playing against the Washington defense. The 782 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: Washington defense has a couple playmakers up front, but by 783 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: and large not that good a beatable defense. This Washington 784 00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,280 Speaker 1: team won a lot of games, not really be because 785 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,399 Speaker 1: what they were able to do on defense. Jeremiah Martin, 786 00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: the A and M transfer very very good upfront, Braylan 787 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 1: Trice good. But I still think Texas should be able 788 00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 1: to move the ball. The question is who's running the ball, 789 00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 1: who's catching the ball? How into This game is Quinn yours. 790 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: I think it substantially show. It's in San Antonio, it's 791 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: the Alamo Bowl. I can't wait to watch this Washington 792 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 1: team throw because that's what they do well, throw into 793 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,840 Speaker 1: this Texas defense. That's going to be the fun of 794 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: this game because I think both these teams will be inspired. 795 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 1: It's not like they had. You know, Washington was one 796 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 1: of the better teams in the Pac twelve for sure 797 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: and finish the season on a very strong note. Maybe 798 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 1: should have lost to Oregon, but that's what good teams do. 799 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 1: They win losable games, and so I just I think 800 00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: both teams are going to be up for this one. 801 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:46,400 Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a lot of juice in 802 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: the Alamodome. Washington fans have been sort of through the 803 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 1: desert of the Jimmy Lake era and have come out 804 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:55,880 Speaker 1: the other side, so they should travel well. This is 805 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,759 Speaker 1: just a full on good game. It's a full on 806 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: good game that's going to see some Texas youth on offense. 807 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: But can't Wait. Can't Wait should be very very fun. 808 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: And I think I leen Washington a little bit because 809 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,800 Speaker 1: I Texas has been prone to starts and stops on offense, 810 00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 1: and I don't fully trust Quinn Yours like I trust 811 00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,960 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix. So I'm going with the better quarterback here. 812 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 1: But I don't feel strongly about a pick in this one. 813 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've kind of gone back and forth in this one. 814 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,359 Speaker 2: I do think the loss of Bijon and Roshan, in 815 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 2: particular Jon Robinson Roshan Johnson on the Texas side is 816 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 2: going to have a pretty big impact. This is not 817 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,840 Speaker 2: especially great Washington defense, no, which is a bit of 818 00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,480 Speaker 2: a departure, right. I mean we're used to talking about 819 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 2: the Washington defense almost in kind of like a half 820 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 2: team since r Yeah, where they've been very, very solid 821 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,160 Speaker 2: over the last couple of years, and this year wasn't 822 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 2: as much the case. Both against the run and the pass, 823 00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 2: they've been severely lacking. 824 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: I feel like whoever. 825 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 2: Texas plugs in will have success on the ground, and 826 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 2: I am curious to see what Quinn Ewers looks like 827 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,120 Speaker 2: against this defense, which has not been very good at 828 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: stopping the pass. I suspect this is going to be 829 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,200 Speaker 2: fun as hell. This is one of those thirty eight 830 00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,960 Speaker 2: to thirty four games where it comes down to the 831 00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,960 Speaker 2: wire where the last team to have the ball wins 832 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 2: where it's just a straight up shootout a lot of points. 833 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 2: The ala mobole is I think accustomed to being a 834 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 2: really fun matchup, definitely, and so I think for sure 835 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 2: this is going to be one of those games, as 836 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,800 Speaker 2: you said that you want to circle on the calendar 837 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: and make sure you're in front of. So if I'm 838 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,439 Speaker 2: picking here, I go Washington because I feel like they'll 839 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 2: be a little bit more out for this game. I 840 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,680 Speaker 2: trust Michael Penix, I guess a little bit more than 841 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 2: I trust anything on the Texas side. On offense, I 842 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 2: do think this is going to be an offensive game 843 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 2: with a lot of points. But four points Texas favor 844 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,520 Speaker 2: by four, Texas favor by four. 845 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: Take Washington plus four. Washington plus four. Washington finished the 846 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 1: year as the number one points per drive offense, So 847 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,879 Speaker 1: the most efficient scoring offen in the nation. Wow, it's 848 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: pack twelve defenses. Yeah yeah, so all all in proper context, 849 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,840 Speaker 1: but doing what a good offense should do against those defenses. 850 00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,680 Speaker 2: All right, let's move on. We've got a couple more 851 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,400 Speaker 2: games here to discuss. Dan, Let's go to tomorrow. 852 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: As we are. 853 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 2: Currently at Thursday, the twenty ninth, Oh Okay. 854 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,680 Speaker 1: Travel ahead in time. Woo do but do Friday, December 855 00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:28,920 Speaker 1: thirtieth Duke's mail ball. Huh both coaches have agreed to 856 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:35,440 Speaker 1: bathe Now, do you think the most efficient mayonnaise propulsion 857 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: mechanism is simply dumping? I know it's you know, tied 858 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,480 Speaker 1: into football and you know the gatorade bath or whatever. 859 00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: Do you think in terms of pure efficiency, pure comedy, 860 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:51,080 Speaker 1: pure uh spread? I don't know what word I'm looking for, 861 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:52,959 Speaker 1: but spreads a good one with mayonnaise. Do you think 862 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,480 Speaker 1: that the cooler dump is the best way to go 863 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:59,440 Speaker 1: about celebrating a victory here? I don't tell me what 864 00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:00,600 Speaker 1: you think. I don't, I don't. 865 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,359 Speaker 2: I mean, we saw what happened to Shane Beemer last year. 866 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:04,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, took it hit. 867 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,760 Speaker 2: What happened to Shane Beemer last year was borderline AsSalt. 868 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: I agree, and they didn't think it through. 869 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 2: The problem with mayo is that it binds to the 870 00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 2: sides of the plastic within the cooler. And so the 871 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 2: two people that were shaking it out did their best. 872 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,440 Speaker 2: They clunked them on the head, was smoothly? 873 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 1: Was it was there? Whether they watered it down at all? 874 00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 2: I think they may have tried, but without applying like 875 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,040 Speaker 2: oil or something to the sides of the cooler, you're 876 00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 2: going to have that happen again. What I would like 877 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 2: to see from Duke's Mayo, since they already seem to 878 00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 2: have really committed to this bit on social media, I'd 879 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 2: like to see them go a little bit. 880 00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: Farther in real life. 881 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,359 Speaker 2: Honestly, I would like to see them build some sort 882 00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:51,279 Speaker 2: of double Dare style contraption where the coach stands under it. 883 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,320 Speaker 2: They flip a switch and then there's like a vat 884 00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 2: or something that just kind of from from a safe 885 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: height allows the mayo to flow smoothly through the system, 886 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:09,360 Speaker 2: to flow directly down via gravity onto the coach standing 887 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 2: on like a tarp. 888 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:11,000 Speaker 3: You know. 889 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 2: Maybe it's one of those things. Maybe it's something that 890 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 2: they can bring out onto midfield and make a big 891 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,399 Speaker 2: deal out of this. But they could tarp the thing. 892 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 2: They could put tarps down in the field for easy 893 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 2: clean up. But they have this contraption that they bring 894 00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,120 Speaker 2: out that they flip a switch and then all the 895 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,000 Speaker 2: mayo just flows down nice and smoothly without the need 896 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:32,399 Speaker 2: for you know, people perhaps clunking a coach in the head. 897 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,640 Speaker 1: All right, I have two alternatives. Tie one, we get 898 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,200 Speaker 1: super slow motion cameras. I think there should be super 899 00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: slow motion cameras present no matter what the Mayo celebrate. 900 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 1: I agree with that absolutely. How do you feel about 901 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,120 Speaker 1: a water down Mayo super Soaker? No, No, that's disgusting. 902 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,799 Speaker 2: That's always hold the worst thing you can imagineable? What 903 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,720 Speaker 2: about what about water balloons? But philters that was another suggestion. 904 00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,719 Speaker 2: That was my don't hate for the super soakern't who's 905 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 2: throwing them. You get the super soaker, but then you're 906 00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,600 Speaker 2: dealing with impact and injury. Right, You're dealing with a 907 00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: foreign substance, the balloon itself, the rubber balloon, and you 908 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,880 Speaker 2: don't want to hurt anybody, or you don't want to 909 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,160 Speaker 2: risk hurting somebody. Who are the two coaches in this game? 910 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 2: Two coaches in this game are Mike Locksleep and Dave Duran. 911 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,800 Speaker 1: Okay, doesn't seem like two guys who like yucking around 912 00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,799 Speaker 1: all that much, now, So that's tough with that. Let 913 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,879 Speaker 1: me hit you with my alternative idea. This is straightforward, 914 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 1: easy to acquire Mayo dunk tank who says, no, okay, 915 00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:38,080 Speaker 1: you're just buried in the slop. Ye mayonnaise. There's really 916 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: no escape then, huh. Now Mayo slipping slide. It's a risk. 917 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,440 Speaker 1: It's an ankle risk. It's a hip risk, is it not, 918 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: young dudes, No, I think dunk tank because Mayo can 919 00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,000 Speaker 1: be a forgiving substance to fall into. 920 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,920 Speaker 2: I kind of, you know, I'm thinking a little bit. 921 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 2: I'm hearkening back to the days of Seinfeld. But Kramer 922 00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:02,439 Speaker 2: tried it once. He put a ball of oil out 923 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 2: the window. Remember when he had the idea for how 924 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,560 Speaker 2: they were going to prevent oil spills. Yeah, so maybe 925 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 2: like a really big balloon of mayo that is dropped 926 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 2: onto the winning coach by the player of the game 927 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,600 Speaker 2: from some sort of platform. 928 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 1: It's a neck risk, though, m it could be a 929 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 1: neck rix. Yeah. I'm trying to think of other ways 930 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: to slime and apply, like, is there something exploding? See, 931 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:34,520 Speaker 1: then you're getting into There is no coach who is 932 00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: going to agree to having exploding mayonnaise in slow motion 933 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: in four k exists on the internet forever. The visual 934 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,040 Speaker 1: is too unfortunate. Yeah, yeah, that's not good. So I 935 00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,760 Speaker 1: say dunk tank. Dunk tank is good, old clean fun, 936 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:53,919 Speaker 1: not clean mayo. 937 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:59,400 Speaker 2: Dunk tank. Okay, well, we'll see what they do. You know, 938 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,120 Speaker 2: they have too things. They can't do what they did 939 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,040 Speaker 2: last year. I would also they can't do that. I 940 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 2: would also suggest free suggestion for the Duke's Mayo bowl 941 00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:12,120 Speaker 2: people in the way that the Olympics celebrates a person 942 00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:16,239 Speaker 2: handing off the torch to another person. I would like 943 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 2: whatever the mayo vehicle is to, I want to see 944 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,839 Speaker 2: it traveling, you know, throughout the Games of Charlotte. Yeah, 945 00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:30,320 Speaker 2: traveling throughout Metro Charlotte and treated like the torch finally 946 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,439 Speaker 2: to be disposed of on the coach's head. 947 00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,440 Speaker 1: That's what I was saying. Can they drop it from 948 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:39,799 Speaker 1: a drone? Drone mayo? I don't hate that. I mean 949 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,120 Speaker 1: that would really be pushing the limits of technology. What 950 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,280 Speaker 1: I think it would have to be though, it would 951 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 1: have to be some sort of I don't know, if 952 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:49,520 Speaker 1: it's a trap release of the mayo. If you can 953 00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:52,200 Speaker 1: imagine that a drone that has a a in the 954 00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:57,120 Speaker 1: way that planes and helicopters release the chemicals fighting fires 955 00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 1: and hills and forests and stuff like that. Sure, so 956 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: you would have a an open compartment or do you 957 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 1: have like some sort of flying squirt down? Okay, a 958 00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:15,399 Speaker 1: flying squirt down of the Mayo Again. If I'm Dave 959 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: Dori and if I'm Mike Loxley, there's just zero chance 960 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,840 Speaker 1: that I allow something elaborate to have and happen in 961 00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:25,560 Speaker 1: four K slow motion of being squirted with Mayo that 962 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,239 Speaker 1: you just want it over in one fell swoop. But 963 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: if we're getting creative with this, Maodrone not your worst idea. 964 00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,840 Speaker 1: Maodrone could be one of my better ideas. Actually, is 965 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 1: mayodrone dot Com available? I can look that up. Please 966 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: look that up. I mean, if it's twelve dollars, it 967 00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:47,720 Speaker 1: might pay off for us down the line. Mayo Drone 968 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,520 Speaker 1: is available fifteen bucks. You want me to get it? 969 00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:54,399 Speaker 2: I think we should get it, all right, I'm gonna 970 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,920 Speaker 2: buy it right now. What's our new Who's playing in 971 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 2: this game? By the way, Maryland, n C State? 972 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: Who are you picking? Maryland, Ency State, NC State. I'm 973 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna roll with deef. 974 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go NC State, Maryland favored by one, I'll go, 975 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,080 Speaker 2: I'll go n CEE state. Maryland going to be down 976 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 2: a couple of guys. Tony the Tiger's sun Bowl Dan 977 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,399 Speaker 2: mm hmm, Pitt versus UCLA Ucla favored by four. 978 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,680 Speaker 1: Who you got Ucla. I actually really like this matchup, 979 00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,680 Speaker 1: but it's what Nick Patty starting for Pitt, and I 980 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,280 Speaker 1: do not trust him. I don't trust the UCLA defense 981 00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 1: that has been somewhat shaky all year long. But they 982 00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: lose their defensive coordinator to illness for a good chunk 983 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: of the season, so that obviously is going to affect things. 984 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:36,960 Speaker 1: Good linebacker Laatu lat To. I believe you know the 985 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: pit team was. They beat teams they should have and 986 00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 1: didn't beat teams they shouldn't have. They lost to Georgia Tech, 987 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: which wasn't great. Elijah Cansey, by the way, huge deal 988 00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: upfront for Pitt. Defensive tackle, just absolute beast, all American, 989 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: So I enjoy that. But I think UCLA's ability to 990 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 1: run the ball, even though they didn't finish all that strongly, 991 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: losing to Arizona, needing to come back to beat Cal, 992 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 1: losing to us SEE, giving up what they did in 993 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,839 Speaker 1: that rivalry game. I'm not crazy about how they ended 994 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,400 Speaker 1: the season, but I still think there's juice around UCLA 995 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 1: and what was probably a top seven or eight offense 996 00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:10,359 Speaker 1: this year. 997 00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm with you. Give me UCLA minus four. 998 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 1: I think if Pitt had a replacement level like average 999 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:22,280 Speaker 1: to above average quarterback situation, even if it were Keaton Slovas, 1000 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,439 Speaker 1: I think I would like Pitt. But Keaton Slovas out 1001 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,320 Speaker 1: into the portal again, and so I worry that Pitt 1002 00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,160 Speaker 1: is going to struggle as a one note offense with 1003 00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,839 Speaker 1: Nick Patty, that he's not going to be a huge 1004 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,840 Speaker 1: threat through the air. I think that's good analysis. I 1005 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,080 Speaker 1: like that. 1006 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,040 Speaker 2: By the way, we now own Mayodrone dot Com. I 1007 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:42,239 Speaker 2: just bought it boom fifteen bucks. All right, let's go 1008 00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:46,399 Speaker 2: to the Gator Bowl tax Slayer Gator Bowl Notre Dame 1009 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:51,400 Speaker 2: minus two against South Carolina. They played this one in Jacksonville, 1010 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 2: three thirty pm Eastern time on Friday. Again, the thirtieth 1011 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,799 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is going to be down. Michael Mayer and 1012 00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,839 Speaker 2: Isaiah Foski, both of the clear for the draft, both 1013 00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,719 Speaker 2: have opted out. Drew Pine is transferred to ASU, Yes 1014 00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 2: he has, I mean, not a bad upgrade for him. Man, 1015 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,719 Speaker 2: good for him to go to ASU from Notre Dame. 1016 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 2: Better weather, so you have that. I don't know what 1017 00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:16,239 Speaker 2: Kenny Dillingham's doing. I guess he just needs depth, but 1018 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:21,280 Speaker 2: got players I saw some folks online talking about Drew 1019 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:24,440 Speaker 2: Pine a key building block and impact transfer. 1020 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,280 Speaker 1: Maybe pump the brakes just a little bit with that, guys. Okay, 1021 00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: here's the thing. This is where I'm gonna stop you. 1022 00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,480 Speaker 1: Just pump the brakes, guys. As it relates to Drew Pine, 1023 00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:41,799 Speaker 1: I don't think he's an especially great quarterback. But there 1024 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: are a lot of worse quarterbacks than Drew hie is 1025 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: this this is your Notre dame standard saying he's not 1026 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,439 Speaker 1: good enough for that? That's fine, the totally reasonable, totally correct, 1027 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:50,160 Speaker 1: totally defensible. 1028 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 2: If we want to go back to a Seinfeld reference, yeah, 1029 00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:55,719 Speaker 2: are you gonna go full Krueger? What the hell we 1030 00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 2: need a guy? 1031 00:53:57,280 --> 00:53:57,640 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1032 00:53:57,680 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 2: What the hell we need a guy? I could go 1033 00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,520 Speaker 2: either way on you, Jordan, but we need a guy. 1034 00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: You need Yeah, you need competence, And I think Drew 1035 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:09,360 Speaker 1: Pine at his best, at near his best, is competent, 1036 00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,440 Speaker 1: locks in on guys, of course, and short and is 1037 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: not going to read a defense like an All American whatever. 1038 00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: But in terms of what Arizona State had this year 1039 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,600 Speaker 1: has moving forward, I think Arizona State can count on 1040 00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: Drew Pine not throwing three interceptions a game and not 1041 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 1: completing twenty seven percent of his passes. Like, I think 1042 00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:31,120 Speaker 1: he can have a decent ratio and will be fine 1043 00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,640 Speaker 1: as a stopgap guy until Kenny Dillingham fills out that roster. 1044 00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 2: I think he's terrible. Oh Hoestly, I think I think 1045 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 2: he's a terrible quarterback. He's probably a good kid, and 1046 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,640 Speaker 2: so I hate to be mean. Yeah, I think he's 1047 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,000 Speaker 2: a terrible quarterback who locks in on one guy. And 1048 00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,319 Speaker 2: I don't think ASU has that. 1049 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,000 Speaker 1: One guy to lock in. 1050 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:51,319 Speaker 2: Oh no, absolutely not right, So I get it on 1051 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,040 Speaker 2: one level, if you're ASU, the roster's been decimated. The 1052 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,080 Speaker 2: previous regime didn't really pay as much attention to recruiting 1053 00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 2: as it should have, and so you're just look at 1054 00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,120 Speaker 2: there is that element of Kruger like, hey, what the 1055 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:02,919 Speaker 2: hell we need a guy. 1056 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,800 Speaker 1: The previous regime arguably played too much attention to recruit. 1057 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, didn't do it. Didn't do a good enough 1058 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,520 Speaker 2: job in the recruit department, let's say one way or 1059 00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:15,400 Speaker 2: the other. Drew Pine is also leaving Notre Dame because 1060 00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,800 Speaker 2: they basically told him we're going to take a transfer 1061 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,720 Speaker 2: and you can compete for the job. You're not guarantee 1062 00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 2: the job going at the next season. So the fact 1063 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,760 Speaker 2: that he chose ASU means that either he liked ASU 1064 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,560 Speaker 2: better or they told him something different that made him 1065 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,520 Speaker 2: think he's got better chances as you better not roll 1066 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:34,320 Speaker 2: out next season with Drew Pine. I saw some people 1067 00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:39,720 Speaker 2: online talking how like, hey, Kenny Dillingham resurrected Bo Nicks 1068 00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 2: if he can do the same with Drew. Let me 1069 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 2: stop you right there, guys. Yeah, let's just let's pump 1070 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 2: the brakes. I saw somebody else talking up, hey, look 1071 00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,160 Speaker 2: at what Drew Pine did for Michael meher No, no, 1072 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:53,799 Speaker 2: look at what Michael Merrit did for Drew Pine. Name names, ty, 1073 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,680 Speaker 2: but just everybody pump the brakes here and Drew Pine. 1074 00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:59,280 Speaker 1: It is a transfer. 1075 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:01,319 Speaker 2: It is not the transfer you're waiting for. If you're 1076 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,479 Speaker 2: an ASU fan. He is not that good. 1077 00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:04,360 Speaker 3: He just is. 1078 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,759 Speaker 2: He's not that good. I hope he does well. I'm 1079 00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 2: not rooting against him actively. I'm just telling you be advised, 1080 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:10,959 Speaker 2: he ain't that good. 1081 00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:12,759 Speaker 1: He's all right. 1082 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 2: You want to add, Notre Dame's winning this game, Okay, 1083 00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 2: Notre Dame is winning this game. So in the absence 1084 00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:20,840 Speaker 2: of Drew Pine, it means we get to see Tyler Buckner. 1085 00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 2: It means that maybe neither you nor I are ready 1086 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 2: for Steve Angeli. Damn, I don't think you're ready for Angeli. 1087 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: I don't think yep. 1088 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:32,920 Speaker 2: But we're going to see a little bit of Buckner, 1089 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,319 Speaker 2: and I think Buckner's got a lot to play for 1090 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 2: here because he's been away from this team for a 1091 00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,719 Speaker 2: good long time. Maybe he doesn't have Michael Mayer and 1092 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,399 Speaker 2: maybe they're without Isaiah Foski, but I think the rest 1093 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 2: of them will be geared up and ready to play 1094 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,879 Speaker 2: in this game, and Buckner's got a lot to prove. 1095 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 2: Buckner is basically fighting for his right to be the 1096 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,480 Speaker 2: starting quarterback next year because Notre Dame's going to take 1097 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:55,280 Speaker 2: a transfer and Buckner is going to have to compete 1098 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 2: for it. So this is his chance to have that 1099 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,919 Speaker 2: stage all to himself. Maybe a little bit of Steve 1100 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:02,040 Speaker 2: on jelly, but I think Bucker is going to be 1101 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 2: the guy to watch and I think he's going. 1102 00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: To show out. 1103 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:10,279 Speaker 2: I think he will have a really really good opportunity 1104 00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,680 Speaker 2: to put up a game here against South Carolina because 1105 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,080 Speaker 2: South Carolina is going to be without Cam Smith, their 1106 00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,320 Speaker 2: top cornerback. They've also got transfers in the form of 1107 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 2: Marshaun Lloyd, Jaheim Bell, Austin Stagner, Spencer Ratler is gonna play, 1108 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 2: but I do think that the line in front of 1109 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 2: him remains a concern. It's been a concern all year. 1110 00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,680 Speaker 2: Notre Dame's pretty good upfront, and even without Fosky, they 1111 00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 2: should be able to apply pressure. 1112 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 1: On top. They lost their offensive coordinators. 1113 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 2: On top of that, Marcus Saderfield also going to Nebraska, 1114 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 2: so just feels like a spot for me where Notre 1115 00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 2: Dame's got a lot more to play for. And the 1116 00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,280 Speaker 2: way that South Carolina closed out the season should not 1117 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 2: be under sold. They played really well down the stretch, 1118 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 2: beating both Tennessee and Clemson, who will be playing in 1119 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,320 Speaker 2: the Orange Bowl. We'll talk about that one, you know, 1120 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:02,000 Speaker 2: on our next show. But like I like what South 1121 00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,440 Speaker 2: Carolina did getting to this point is a great testament 1122 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,600 Speaker 2: to the Shane Beemer era. He's a good coach at 1123 00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:10,240 Speaker 2: the right time for this program, and he will continue 1124 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:11,960 Speaker 2: to ratchet things up. But I think Notre Dame's a 1125 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 2: pick here. 1126 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,640 Speaker 1: You give me South Carolina down whoever they're down, but 1127 00:58:15,680 --> 00:58:18,200 Speaker 1: you give me Shane Beemer. I'm a Beamer Dreamer tie 1128 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 1: with a little bit of time to get this team up, 1129 00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:24,800 Speaker 1: combined with Notre Dame in the postseason, and what the 1130 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,200 Speaker 1: universe feels about that Notre Dame forcing their starting quarterback 1131 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,760 Speaker 1: out kind of sort of maybe without their best offensive weapon. 1132 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: I'm going South Carolina juice here? What does it tell you? Well, 1133 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I can't do it. Okay, 1134 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:39,280 Speaker 1: that just be mean. 1135 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 3: I know. 1136 00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,360 Speaker 1: And you are the now owner of mayodrone dot com, 1137 00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 1: so you have to watch the public image. 1138 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,880 Speaker 2: That's a solvable media purchase on the company card right there. 1139 00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But now I'm look, I'm. 1140 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,480 Speaker 2: I just just let's just everybody pumped the breaks and 1141 00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 2: Drew p Okay. I realize that we need to put 1142 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:01,680 Speaker 2: the tweets and we need to write the articles and 1143 00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:02,720 Speaker 2: all that, But everybody, what. 1144 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,640 Speaker 1: About a pump the cream? A cream pie to the 1145 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: face but instead of whipcream, it's mayonnaise. We still talk. 1146 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 2: This is a different Bowl game altogether. I know, I mean, 1147 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,320 Speaker 2: we could feed the loser to a live gator, but 1148 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:15,479 Speaker 2: that might not be for TV. 1149 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,080 Speaker 1: But the gator is made of may. 1150 00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:23,560 Speaker 2: May gatormeyo dot com. Should we get the Mayo Gator. No, 1151 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,280 Speaker 2: we can't do all of these URLs. 1152 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:26,440 Speaker 3: No. 1153 00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,880 Speaker 2: Final game of the day the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. Dan, 1154 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:31,920 Speaker 2: it's Ohio. 1155 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Wyoming, I'm still gonna I'm still gonna pick against 1156 00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: the Mac team, even though Wyoming's basically without their entire 1157 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,520 Speaker 1: roster in this game, Wyoming couldn't throw with their roster. 1158 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: Ohio actually finished the season quite strong after starting out disappointingly, 1159 00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,600 Speaker 1: but still I'm sticking with my guns here. Devon Harris 1160 00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:55,320 Speaker 1: very good for Wyoming on defense. Vonnie Watkins for Ohio 1161 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 1: and Ohio. The Bobcats won seven of eight I saw 1162 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:00,520 Speaker 1: last I saw that it was sort of a pick 1163 01:00:00,520 --> 01:00:03,520 Speaker 1: them even spread here, just because there's so much in 1164 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: the way of an unknown. But Ohio obviously finished the 1165 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,960 Speaker 1: season poorly, not really doing much on offense against Toledo, 1166 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,720 Speaker 1: and Wyoming was sort of all over the place, as 1167 01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 1: they always are. But I guess I'm going Cowboys there 1168 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,280 Speaker 1: in a weird matchup. Give me Wyoming in the desert, 1169 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: Wyoming in the desert, I'm going to go. I'm going 1170 01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:25,800 Speaker 1: to go Ohio here. 1171 01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned that Wyoming is without their roster. It's 1172 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 2: not just their roster. It's this is a team that 1173 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 2: liked to run the ball, or I should say that 1174 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 2: clear running back off that only could run the ball, 1175 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,560 Speaker 2: and they're very decimated on that side. So I think 1176 01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:45,480 Speaker 2: the only answer here is Ohio, even despite the fact 1177 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:46,480 Speaker 2: that they've got some injuries. 1178 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,640 Speaker 1: Yep, and that's some things that contend with So can't 1179 01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: argue it. That does it. 1180 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 2: Here's what we got left now. On the next show 1181 01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 2: that you're going to hear from us on the feed, 1182 01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,439 Speaker 2: you will hear the Orange Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, both 1183 01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 2: of the both of the playoff games, the Fiesta and 1184 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,960 Speaker 2: the Peach in addition to the Cotton and the Rose. 1185 01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Will also close. 1186 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,320 Speaker 2: Things out talking about the Music City Bowl or we 1187 01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 2: rely a Quest Bowl. That's a mouthful. And the Citrus Bowl, 1188 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,680 Speaker 2: cheez it Citrus Bowl. Yeah, that'll be on the next show. 1189 01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 2: We'll go through those games a little bit more detail. Obviously, 1190 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 2: the playoff games are going to be the centerpiece of 1191 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:25,680 Speaker 2: that discussion, given the fact that both are on New 1192 01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,360 Speaker 2: Year's Eve. I hate it, but we can play the 1193 01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,240 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel sound to make us feel better about it. 1194 01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:35,800 Speaker 1: Can I give you one more? One more American male Warrior. 1195 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: Now hear me out. There is a course and it 1196 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,400 Speaker 1: is not unlike the American Ninja Warrior course. It is 1197 01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 1: softened up a little because Mike Loxley and Dave darn 1198 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: are both middle aged men. Sure, and instead of water, 1199 01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:52,360 Speaker 1: it's mayonnaise. 1200 01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 2: I mean that would be slippery, really slippery. And if 1201 01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:57,200 Speaker 2: you were worried about this. 1202 01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 1: Well, the course is the same. The course is the 1203 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: same material. Okay, but there are various traps in the 1204 01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,400 Speaker 1: way that on the American Ninja Warrior course you can 1205 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:10,840 Speaker 1: fall into water. Yeah, you fall into a mayo tank. Okay, 1206 01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,880 Speaker 1: So as you are jumping to get to the monkey 1207 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,400 Speaker 1: bars or whatever and you just miss them, your downfall 1208 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,960 Speaker 1: is not into a tank, it's into a giant How 1209 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: are we bowl of mayonnaise? How are we transporting all 1210 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 1: this mayo to the game truck? Did they make mayo tankers? 1211 01:02:31,480 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 3: Like? 1212 01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 1: How are we getting this big pool of mayo there? 1213 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,240 Speaker 2: Because it seems like it would be a bit of 1214 01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 2: a hassle to fill a cooler with it, let alone. 1215 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: Sure, you know, a full like, I mean, mayo has 1216 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:46,840 Speaker 1: to be produced and mass somewhere. I know. 1217 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,800 Speaker 2: I'm assuming though that brought process just shoots it right 1218 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:50,520 Speaker 2: into the bottle. 1219 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god, celebratory Mayo Jacuzzi after the game, Mayo Jacuzzi, 1220 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 1: hot name Mayo Jacuzzi.

If you 1228 01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:20,520 Speaker 1: do it right. 1229 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:22,920 Speaker 2: From the bottle, you get a little bit more, a 1230 01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:25,640 Speaker 2: little bit more exposure for Duke's show and the label 1231 01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 2: chunk here. 1232 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, man, this is. 1233 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,680 Speaker 2: Some earned media here for Duke's Mayo. 1234 01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1235 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:34,920 Speaker 1: I never said Dukes.
