5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: be happy.

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000

Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes I do that in the intro and I've

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,240

Speaker 1: to a certain lifestyle. So is it going to be gossling?

18
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,320

45
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: just give me some odds here. Jillenhall, maybe Jill and Garfield.

46
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm obviously looking at a list of sexiest actors alive

47
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: because I could not come up with them on my

48
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: own ty. It's week nine to ten. Ten ten, it's

49
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: week ten.

50
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: What is a week? And construct?

51
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: It's a construct? Okay, we have I have a nickname

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: for you for me, we have the week for the week,

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: but for you to evaluate and tell me how on

54
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: or off point? I am okay. So we are adding

55
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: in action. We are adding in paction. Don't call it paction, uh.

56
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: And it's more of the Mountain West and so we

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: are we're adding in Really I don't want to say

58
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: full slate because we don't have FCS games and it

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: really is not a regular college football season, but because

60
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: our voyage is not ideal and not everybody has made it,

61
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, to the destination. Along the way, there have

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: been some bumps and bruises, but we're going cross country.

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines Saturday. It's an inefficient college football season at

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: best at absolute bow seats have been over sold, baggage

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: has ended up in Kuala Lumpur.

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: And it costs you twenty five dollars extra.

67
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: Everything's gonna cost everything is extra. In twenty twenty, Spirared

68
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Airline Saturday. Speared Airlines not a sponsor at the show,

69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: but no and probably will never be.

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: How could I possibly reject that Spirit Airlines Saturday. I

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: like it.

72
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I like it, and yeah, we're coast to coast. Does

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Spirit Airlines? I think they make you know, east coast

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: to west coast flights, it's not just regional. But even

75
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: if they don't, we're getting there again, very bumpily, very bumpily. Well,

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: we are recording this on Tuesday. It's going to drop

77
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: on Wednesday.

78
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: We appreciate everyone listening to the show as we talked

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: through all that week ten has to offer on this

80
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: Spirit Airline Saturday, which is so stupid. We have to

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: use it. We do have some news, let's get to it.

82
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 2: I actually can't do the breaking news thing right now.

83
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: I'm having that. I'm having that weird like vocal thing

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: that I had to remember. We did the history of

85
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 2: solid verbal show.

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I remember, do remember this?

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: And I got the pain in my throat and I

88
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: couldn't talk to my wife, who yeah, I would imagine

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: to my wife's sheer enjoyment. I've had difficulty speaking over

90
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: the last few days, so said, yeah, I sound good now,

91
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: But it was it was speaking of bumpily. We had.

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: We had a rocky go of it. But alas, we

93
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: have news here to discuss Dan, the most important of

94
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 2: which is this story about Wisconsin Perdue being called off.

95
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: So cases at Wisconsin. Of course, we knew about Graham

96
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: Mertz and Chase Wolf and found out about Paul Christ,

97
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: but twenty seven active cases since October the twenty fourth,

98
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: that includes fifteen players, twelve staff, of course, including Paul Christ.

99
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 2: They decided to call this game off as per I

100
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 2: think where we're at with the Big Ten and how

101
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: they've chosen to go about their streamline season here. If

102
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: a game's off, it's off there. They don't got any

103
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: buffer zone built into this thing. If it's off, they're

104
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: just simply not playing it. So Wisconsin, now we saw

105
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: the Nebraska game that got called off, the Perdue game

106
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: obviously now next to follow suit. We'll see how things

107
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: progress with the Badgers. But you know, a bit of

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 2: a bummer. We've been saying it all along. We obviously

109
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: hope everyone's okay and not getting sick and able to

110
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: make a full recovery and all that that's sort of

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: assumed at this point. But man, really quite a bummer

112
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: here to see that Wisconsin won't have another opportunity to

113
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 2: follow up on that showing that we saw in Week one.

114
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and my hope is that it's random. Obviously, the

115
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin and some of the larger municipalities have

116
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: been hit pretty hard by an increase of cases lately.

117
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: But I'll be fascinated after the season when more is

118
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: investigated and what came of protocol, because we know the

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,799
Speaker 1: Big Ten was quite skittish and came around with stricter

120
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: protocol for testing, and we now know that sometimes players

121
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: were testing positive and then the follow up test was

122
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: not the results were not in a timely fashion. It'll

123
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: be fascinating to hear about investigations after the fact, not

124
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: just at Wisconsin, at places that have been hit harder

125
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: Florida bayl or places like that, major universities that have

126
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: had the resources to test and test quickly. But obviously

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: results and timing thereof can be varied. So that's going

128
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to me. And yes, as you said,

129
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: it goes without saying that we hope that everybody is

130
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: asymptomatic or the symptoms are as minor as possible and

131
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: they're able to heal on a human level, much more

132
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: so than a football level. But on that football level.

133
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: This is the second consecutive cancelation. Nebraska was canceled last

134
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: week and now Wisconsin is at The maximum number of

135
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: games is six, which is the minimum number of games

136
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: to make the Big Ten championship game. Am I right? Yeah? Yeah,

137
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: So so I'm going to pay attention to because now,

138
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: as we all anticipated, perdue in the driver's seat for

139
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Indian now Purdue of virtual home game for the Boilers,

140
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: if they're able to find their way to Indy.

141
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god. All right elsewhere, speaking of healing, DeMarcus

142
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: Thomas from Ole, miss a scary moment was hit in practice,

143
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: was not moving, taken to a local hospital. Thankfully, shortly thereafter,

144
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: reports did come out that he was able to move

145
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: his extremities. He was discharged from the hospital. Seems like

146
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: he's okay, But scary moment. Obviously, we're all college football fans,

147
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 2: but we hate to see this sort of thing. It

148
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: sort of is inherent to parts of the game and

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 2: no fun when it goes down, So we wish mister Thomas. Well. Yeah,

150
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: and the only other tidbit I have here is that

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: Houston and Cincinnati are going to get some more premier

152
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: treatment now. Because of that Wisconsin Purdue cancelation. They're going

153
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: to move that into the main ABC three thirty window,

154
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: get a little more airplay.

155
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: That's what I and and you know what, good for you,

156
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: I did see that, And good for Cincinnati especially, who

157
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: is certainly playing like a prime time and network television

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: type team with some of their recent results so worthy

159
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: of being watched by as large an audience as possible.

160
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: For sure, for sure, Or I would say, yeah, would

161
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: you like to go to games? That'd be I mean, fantastic, yeah, special.

162
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: It is week ten for some, it is week three

163
00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: for others, and I don't even know what it is

164
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 2: for the SEC. But here we are alas for the

165
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: pack week one for the PAC twelve. Welcome to the show.

166
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 2: We've got a loaded slate of games here. And for us,

167
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: it's been a little different this season. From a podcasting standpoint,

168
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: what I would do, I would always put all the

169
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: games together by conference and then move them around right,

170
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 2: put them in order the order that seemingly makes the

171
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 2: most sense for the most people who listen to the show,

172
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: And for the first couple weeks it was very easy

173
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: to do in a way that it hadn't ever been

174
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: literally had never been so easy to group and buy conference,

175
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 2: just talk about all the games. It's all we got.

176
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: But now we've gradually been building up to it, gradually

177
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: been building like a distance runner. Dan finally ten mile mark.

178
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 2: Now we're at thirteen. Now we're going the full way

179
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: here twenty six point two because the PAC twelve is

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: joining the fold. And I must admit it took me

181
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: a beat to get back up to speed with how

182
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 2: exactly to organize things. But one of the bits of

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: feedback I've gotten that seemingly works well for our listenership

184
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: is organizing things by time window, right like we're going

185
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 2: through chronologically throughout the course of a day. We always

186
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: do the window of opportunity, right like, which of those

187
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 2: windows can you skip all or part of to go

188
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 2: out and be a normal person? And so why not

189
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: organize a show as such? Been doing it, It's been working.

190
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 2: The problem I have this week is I don't really

191
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: know when the window of opportunity is, at least for me,

192
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 2: I'm so interested in really all three windows on Saturday

193
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 2: that it's tough for me to accurately gauge full disclosure.

194
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm probably I mean, can you do have the option

195
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: of Friday night Sunday morning windows of opportunity where you're

196
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: just like, look, anticipate a stacked Saturday and cook dinner

197
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Friday night, go run some errands, hit the hardware store,

198
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: hit the grocery store. Yeah. I mean, you're still going

199
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: to have, you know, whatever weekend stuff you if you

200
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: have kids who have activities and stuff like that, and

201
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: there's no real helping that. But if things can be shuffled,

202
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: maybe you've got to scout it out ahead of time

203
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 1: and think Friday, think Sunday.

204
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: The two biggest games of the weekend are at three

205
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: thirty Florida, Georgia and at seven thirty Clemson Notre Dame.

206
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: Agreed, true ding yep uh huh.

207
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: So if you don't really have a dog in the fight,

208
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 2: if your team's not playing, or if you've just given

209
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: up on your team, maybe you're a Kansas fan. I

210
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: don't know, those are the two windows where you've got

211
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: the biggest, highest profile games. We'll start here with West Virginia,

212
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 2: Texas in the early block at high noon. I'm really

213
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: interested in this game, Okay, really interested in this game.

214
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: This is one of those matchups that for me is

215
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: a pleasant surprise. Right now, it's West Virginia on the

216
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: road plus seven and a half against Texas. I thought

217
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: West Virginia was going to be better this season. I

218
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: don't think I gave him a lot of love when

219
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 2: we did the preview. But they were really young last year.

220
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: They're breaking in a new coach. We're both pretty pumped

221
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 2: about Neil Brown, you more so than me, And look

222
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: so far, we can definitively say that they've gotten better.

223
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.

224
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 2: It just so happens to be at a time when

225
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: the Big twelve is very gettable, very gettable. Yeah, they're

226
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: also getting Texas potentially in a gettable letdown spot after

227
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 2: that overtime went on the road against Oklahoma State last week.

228
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look back at last year. This is a

229
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: back and forth game until the fourth quarter. West Virginia

230
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: wasn't nearly as good last year. They still hung with Texas.

231
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: Austin Kendall threw four picks, which didn't help.

232
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: Never helps. So now we come into this game. West

233
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 2: Virginia I think is better on offense. They're pretty good

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: on defense, especially like the Stills brothers along the line.

235
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got enough firepower to win

236
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: in the end, because I think sam Ellinger finds a

237
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: way to do it to get texts over the hump.

238
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: But I just I can't fight the feeling that this

239
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: is a good spot for West Virginia, that it's a

240
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: game they've had circled on the calendar for a while,

241
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: and you've forgiven me more than a touchdown. I am

242
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 2: intrigued by that play, Daniel, How do you feel well?

243
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: Texas down keyante ingram, which certainly doesn't help in terms

244
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: of firepower. I look this up because I just I

245
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: kept watching Texas games and was unable to make sense

246
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: of what I was seeing from their passing game and

247
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: from Sam Ellinger. Sam Ellinger in conference play in yards

248
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: per attempt nationally is currently sixty first.

249
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 2: Wow. That low.

250
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: He is sixty first. He is a shade beneath Jarrett

251
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: Garantano and Henry Colombi and Adrian Martinez. I guess that

252
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really count because he's only played one game, But

253
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: in terms of Jarrettdagi is ahead of sam Ellinger right now,

254
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: so that's I guess. The more relevant statistic also relevant

255
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: the number of times West Virginia has won on the

256
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: road this year. That would be zero point zero, and

257
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit going into Texas. And

258
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: what it is is is the lack of success on

259
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: the road stronger than either one of these teams feeling

260
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: a bit of a let down after a comfortable win

261
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: against Kansas State and of course a narrow one against

262
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. I think the mismatch is something that you

263
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: alluded to, and that's the West Virginia defensive line against

264
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: the Texas offensive line. For that reason, I'm going to

265
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: take the points. I'm going to assume that the Texas

266
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: offense is again going to look off balance for chunks

267
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: of this game. Give me West Virginia to keep it close.

268
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if they can win on the road

269
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: because recent trends have dictated that that's a pretty big question.

270
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: But I'm going ears I'm going to take those points

271
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: happily with that letdown factor.

272
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: I think something like thirty one to twenty six is

273
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 2: my target final score. But i'm Virginia or Texas. Texas wins.

274
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: I think Texas wins, but I do expect West Virginia

275
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: to keep it close, and I like the situation for him.

276
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: I do.

277
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm really impressed with how they've built this thing now

278
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: through the early part of the year. Weird year, right,

279
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: but they've done a good job so far. We agree

280
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: moving on, we are not going to agree on this game.

281
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: I can sense it already.

282
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, let's party.

283
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: Michigan minus three and a half on the road at Indiana.

284
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna let you go first here. I think you

285
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: know exactly where I'm going, because I think I telegraphed

286
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: it on one of our previous episodes.

287
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: But how do you feel Indiana might be the second

288
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: best team in the Big Ten East?

289
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 2: Correct? I still feel that way. By the way, I'm

290
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: not back in day that.

291
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I believe the secret to beating Michigan is losing to Rutgers,

292
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: and Indiana went out stupidly beat Rutgers. This does feel

293
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: like an under you overvalue moment for me because that

294
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: game against Rutgers for Indiana was unnecessarily close, and I

295
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: stepped forward from Michael Pennix through the air. But I

296
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: do believe that Michigan probably isn't as bad as they were,

297
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: especially on defense against Michigan State. And I think Indiana

298
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: is not just solid, but above solid. But I looked

299
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: last year and last year's embarrassing losses from Michigan. They

300
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: lose to Wisconsin comfortably, and they came back and I

301
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: believe the next week shelled was it Indiana? I'll verify

302
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: this now, but I think the Notre Dame blowout when

303
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Michigan blew out Notre Dame, was coming off of a loss,

304
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: and so I do like that element. Okay, So they

305
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: lose to Penn State on that Ronnie Bell late drop

306
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: in the end zone, and then they beat Notre Dame

307
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: by thirty one. They lost to Wisconsin and then blew

308
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: out the aforementioned Rutgers Scarlett Knights fifty two to nothing.

309
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: So not as relevant, but it is interesting to me

310
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: that Penn State loss in the Notre Dame follow up.

311
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: So I think Michigan is not as dominant as we

312
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: thought they were after the Minnesota game because we've readjusted

313
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: our Minnesota thoughts, but also not as sloppy as they

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: looked against Michigan State. So I think Michigan's at least

315
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: a touchdown better here. They comfortably beat Indiana by what

316
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: twenty five last year?

317
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, something like that.

318
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: On the road, I think the Wolverines are in a

319
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: good position to win this game by seven to ten points.

320
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you. It's just so difficult to handicap

321
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 2: any of these big ten games right now because we

322
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 2: have such little data to work with. You're right. We

323
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: talked about Michigan's win over Minnesota. It's not nearly as

324
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: impressive as we thought. Obviously, the loss last week wasn't

325
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: great either, But now we've got this dynamic where Jim

326
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: Harbaugh is staring down the barrel of an oh and

327
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: three start, and it's really hard for me to believe

328
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 2: that Michigan starts oh and three this year. But it

329
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: is a tough spot. It is a tough spot. And look,

330
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Indiana plus the points, but I have

331
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: some of the same questions about them. You know, I'm

332
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 2: high on them this year. They're off to a good start.

333
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 2: But if you look at the numbers, that win over

334
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 2: Penn State was a huge mirage, a huge mirage per

335
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Bill c our Friend, who runs the sp plus for

336
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: ESPN dot com. Now, Indiana's postgame win expectancy after that

337
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: Penn State game was five percent.

338
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they did.

339
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean, it is scoreboard. At the same time they

340
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: won their call, they got the job done. No, they

341
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: got the job done. And certainly Indiana is not the

342
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 2: only team in that category. There are plenty of games

343
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: that follow a similar path, and you know, maybe they

344
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: didn't play well enough to win from an efficiency standpoint,

345
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: but they find a way to pull it off. But

346
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 2: I still think a bit of a mirage that point.

347
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: But do you think a little bit of the Michigan

348
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: State game was the Michigan State win was a mirage

349
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: against Michigan.

350
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: Not as much as the Indiana penn State one, because

351
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: Michigan State was in control for most of that game.

352
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: That's true.

353
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: I think this is a close game. I think it's

354
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 2: driven by defense and turnovers. I think Michael Pennix makes

355
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: the big play because he's good at doing that. I'm

356
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 2: gonna say Indiana outright. I'm gonna say Indiana twenty eight,

357
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Okay, Okay, I don't feel that confident about

358
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: this for what it's worth.

359
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: But if you if you believe in Indiana outright, this

360
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: game is where. This game is in ann Arbor, it's

361
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: in Indiana, it's in it's in Bloomington. Okay, Yeah, you

362
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: have to believe, which it sounds like you do that

363
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Indiana is the second best team in the Big Ten

364
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: East that you are if they're put a flag that

365
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: you have planted. Michigan State's got a new coach. Nice

366
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: went over Michigan. Bad loss over Rutgers or two Rutgers Michigan.

367
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 1: We have to watch this game to find out.

368
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: Penn State. I'm out on Penn State. You know that,

369
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: and I'm certainly also. And you also have to believe

370
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 2: that Michigan is a legitimate mess.

371
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: I think we yeah.

372
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 2: See, this is why I'm not confident because I don't

373
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: believe that quite yet. But I'm gonna stick to my

374
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: guns here. This is my initial gut.

375
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: All due respect to nine Windiana of course. Yes, so

376
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: we'll see we disagree. I knew we were gonna disger. Yeah,

377
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: it's okay, also tasty.

378
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: Also at high noon, wow, high noon, eastern high nine

379
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: o'clock am in LA for Arizona State usc USC is

380
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: a ten and a half point home favorite.

381
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: Here.

382
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: This is a weird bodyclock game, Dan, these guys are

383
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: gonna be waking up real early before the crack of

384
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: dawn to get ready for this football game. So based

385
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 2: on that and that alone, even though I do like USC,

386
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: a lot. I am very inclined to just go points

387
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: because an early morning game like that is not especially

388
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: after a pandemic delay. Hey, your first game of the year.

389
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: We're waiting till November to play. So many things working

390
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: against a favorite covering in the spot that I think

391
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 2: I just have to go ASU plus the points blindly.

392
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Very strange game last year, by the way, different season,

393
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: but Jaden Daniels didn't play in this game. That was

394
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: a Joey Yellen, your boy Joey Yellen game for ASU.

395
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: The Trojans score I want to say, twenty seven or

396
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight points in the first quarter and then hung

397
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: on for their dear lives and I think one thirty

398
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 1: one to twenty six. They scored three points the rest

399
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: of the way. It's a very strange game ASU with

400
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator, don't I actually don't like picking

401
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: games as much as I like figuring out what intrigues

402
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: me about this game. And so it's a less explosive

403
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: ASU team without Brandon Ayuk, and certainly USC down a

404
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: couple of huge playmakers last year, but they're still so

405
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: stacked along the receiving core. New defense for USC going

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: against a promising quarterback in Jaden Daniels. It's a lot

407
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: of points though, And I went back and forth on

408
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: this one because Okay, they're sleeping in their own beds

409
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: for this weird start time, but all the same, everybody's

410
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: waking up at the same time. It's not a huge

411
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: huge advantage. I'm going to take the points in a

412
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: very strange situation. I like ASU's defense some USC clearly

413
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: has the talent advantage on both sides, and they I

414
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: think they got their left tackle back he had opted

415
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: out and opted back in. So I am confident in

416
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: USC's ability to win this game because I'd rather have

417
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: a new defensive coordinator breaking in a defense and offensive one.

418
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: And so with Todd Orlando joining the USC coaching staff,

419
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I think there's a little bit more momentum with USC

420
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: at this point. I think they are seven to ten

421
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: points better, but I'm not fully confident in a comfortable

422
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: win because there's a good amount of promise to ASU

423
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: at the same time.

424
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 2: All Right, we agree, Dan, We agree again some other

425
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 2: games here. I've got five quick ones that I just

426
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: want to rattle off before we get to that or

427
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: after deanslate. Excuse me, sure, Nebraska minus four and a

428
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: half all the road at Northwestern. Nebraska, of course, had

429
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: the extra week to right the wrongs from week one.

430
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: I stand by what I said after that Ohio State game.

431
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 2: I think the defense looked better, and I like Nebraska

432
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 2: here minus the points.

433
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: I like a good defense at home with the Rubinstein

434
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: bump to the north Shore. So I'm going Northwestern here.

435
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm going Northwestern to Peyton rams Even though we believe

436
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: in Nebraska's potential improvement upfront on defense, it has to

437
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: be proven to be a little bit more sustained than

438
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: getting up for just that opening week came against Ohio State.

439
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna take Northwestern here and Peyton Ramsey,

440
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: who held on. They went down pretty big early on

441
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: against Iowa, but they say they stayed steady. Excuse me.

442
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna go Cats at home in Evanston here too,

443
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: at least cover if not went out right against I

444
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: think a still flawed Nebraska team.

445
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 2: We disagree, Okay. Also in the Big Ten, Michigan State

446
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 2: at Iowa, Iowa is a six and a half point

447
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: favorite here, Dan, So yeah, does that feel like too

448
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: big to you?

449
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: Uh? Certainly a letdown spot for Michigan State to win

450
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 1: the Paul Bunion, and that game was in ann Arbor,

451
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: correct for Michigan State. And then to stay on the road.

452
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: Obviously they went home to East Lansing, but another road

453
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: game in a row. I think it's a three point

454
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: game either way. I am worried about what I saw

455
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: from Iowa's offense. I don't know if you read the

456
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 1: link I sent you from Scott Doctrman Doctrman Doctrman of

457
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: the Athletic in talking about how Iowa recognizes that when

458
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: they have jet sweep action and motion and they're able

459
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: to confuse linebackers and run out of the shotgun, they're

460
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: pretty successful. But they ultimately decided not to do any

461
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: of that against Northwestern with any sort of consistency. When

462
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: they did it, it worked, and they still put their

463
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: heads down and tried to run from under center and

464
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 1: you know, make Spencer Petross throw the ball fifty times.

465
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: I just don't have a lot of faith in this

466
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: Iowa offense against a defense with a heartbeat. So it

467
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: feels seventeen thirteen. I'm gonna take those points.

468
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 2: I think this is another one of those games like

469
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: case State West Virginia a week ago where Vegas is

470
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 2: speaking to us in codes. It's speaking, so I think

471
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 2: it's speaking to us because it doesn't make sense to me.

472
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 2: It obviously makes sense to them. They're the ones that

473
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: make money off this. I'm just going to go Iowa.

474
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 2: I've learned not to question these things, So thank you, Vegas.

475
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: I would have loved three and a half or four

476
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 2: and a half.

477
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,479
Speaker 1: Six and a half feels steep.

478
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 2: It feels steep, it really does. But that's why I'm

479
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: going that direction elsewhere.

480
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: Are you a believer in Michigan State approaching what they

481
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: look like against Michigan for the duration of the year. No, okay,

482
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: you think it's going to be a major step down.

483
00:25:54,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: We've had secret slack discussions about Rocky Lombardi's pop gun arm.

484
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: That's true.

485
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 2: We've had those discussions, not publicly, at least not till now.

486
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: But let's pond a Michigan State schedule. Here are the

487
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: teams that you have to feel at least pretty good about. Iowa, Indiana,

488
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: you more so than i Maryland, Northwestern giant question mark,

489
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State obviously excellent, and Penn State not an amazing

490
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: Penn State year thus far, I don't know. I just

491
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: I think they can be competitive enough to be a

492
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: thorn more often than not.

493
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: Elsewhere. We've got North Carolina minus nine and a half

494
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: against Duke, We've got Liberty plus fifteen and a half

495
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 2: on the road at Virginia Tech Liberty now ranked, and

496
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: also SMU minus fourteen and a half on the road

497
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: against Temple. Any thoughts on those three.

498
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: I do like North Carolina Douke coming off of a

499
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: very emotional, big season defining victory over the Charlotte forty

500
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: nine ers, I'm actually okay, So in all seriousness, I

501
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: don't believe Duke is that good, but I think their

502
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: defense is okay. And as a nine and a half

503
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: point dog at home, it's interesting to me does North

504
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: Carolina have anybody? I mean, this is obviously a rivalry

505
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: am I don't think they're fully looking forward to but

506
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: they have waken a week off before Notre Dame, so

507
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: it's not a look ahead situation. I think I like

508
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: North Carolina here. I think they should be able to

509
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: run and get a little bit more little more, a

510
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: little bit more momentum than what they've looked like recently.

511
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: I think Liberty is a pretty decent matchup for Virginia Tech.

512
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Even though Liberty has had a nice season, I don't

513
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: like their front on defense. Though Malik Willis has been

514
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: fun the Auburn transfer at quarterback for Liberty, I still

515
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: think Virginia Tech should should even though they are sort

516
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: of an up and down by the weak team. They

517
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: should be able to run all over Liberty and Temple

518
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: might be bad. Temple might be full on bad. So

519
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: I like smu here on the road even though it

520
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: seems like a lot of points. Temple has has hit

521
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: some pretty significant lows recently, didn't They Just they got

522
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: worked over by two lane. I don't know if there

523
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: was a specific circumstance by that, but they've lost three

524
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: and they lost the neighbor and lost.

525
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 2: The Navy in the first game, and Navy's sort of

526
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: not very good this year.

527
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: I think I edged a pretty bad USF team. Yeah,

528
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm with North Carolina. That's my

529
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: Tracy Chapman game. Like, I know it's a rivalry, but

530
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: you got to give me a reason.

531
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 2: Give me a reason to take me one good reason. Yeah,

532
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 2: I don't see it. I'll go Liberty plus the points

533
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: text better.

534
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: But I don't trust in the blow anyone out, and

535
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm with you on SMU Okay.

536
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 2: So let's go to the afternoon three point thirty Florida, Georgia.

537
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: The line is four and a half the world's largest

538
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: outdoor cocktail party. Maybe less of a party than usual

539
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: this year, but the game's still going on, which is cool.

540
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 2: The winner of this one is basically the winner of

541
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: the SEC East. So in this contest, Daniel, I'm ready,

542
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 2: which SEC East juggernaut do you trust more? Do you

543
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 2: trust Georgia with its defense top defense in the nation

544
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: per the SP plus? Or do you trust in Florida

545
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 2: and the Kyle Driver and the number four offense per

546
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: the SP plus.

547
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: I think I trust Georgia a little more. I think

548
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: I find myself always regretting not rolling with the better

549
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: defense if that defense has an excellent ceiling. Even though yes,

550
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: they gave up points against Alabama, I don't believe Florida

551
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: is stacked. Even though I do love k Pop, I

552
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: do love the Kyle Driver, I don't think they have

553
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: that what are you supposed to do? Element? Whereas Alabama

554
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 1: at that moment anyway, when Jayalen Watta was healthy, most

555
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 1: certainly did so worry about the Florida defense, even though

556
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: they look to take a step forward against Miszoo. I

557
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: think Georgia is good enough here, even though man rolling

558
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 1: with Stets and Bennett in a big game is not

559
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: my favorite favorite thing. But how many points? How many

560
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: points does Florida need to score for you to feel

561
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: confident that they can win this game against his defense?

562
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? See, that's that's the question.

563
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: I think twenty seven. Yeah, I've got the final at

564
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty one in.

565
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 2: Favor of Florida. Okay, so I for me, Florida is

566
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: the answer because I do think the offense is good

567
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: enough to move the ball. In Georgia, they can beat

568
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 2: you a couple different ways. They can create mismatches with

569
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: that scheme. The defense is definitely a liability, but I

570
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 2: don't necessarily have faith in Stets in Bennett, and that

571
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: could be to my everlasting shame. But after being great

572
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: initially and definitely serviceable, don't get me wrong, like this

573
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 2: is not a bad quot Benny stretch, but now that

574
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: we're a couple weeks into this thing, the numbers just

575
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: aren't that exciting. Fifty eight percent completion percentage, seven touchdowns,

576
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: five picks. I like them enough, but I am not

577
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 2: necessarily buying in on him in a big spot like this.

578
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 2: So I think fun game. I think Florida's got enough offense.

579
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 2: I think it's tight. But I'm going Florida twenty eight

580
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 2: to twenty one here.

581
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: And it did take in your defense. It did take

582
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: an outstanding performance from the Texas A and M offense

583
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: to beat this Florida team, albeit in college station, not

584
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: a neutral site in Jacksonville bus right away, so I

585
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: understand it. I am just a little bit worried that

586
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Florida may not have that second or third CounterPunch if

587
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: the Georgia defense is performing, and that Georgia will slow

588
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: this game down if they're able to force some three

589
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: and outs. And this is a Georgia team that will

590
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: tackle in the open field, unlike anybody Florida has play

591
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 1: or I believe will play this year. Right Florida has Arkansas, Andy, Kentucky, Tennessee, LSU.

592
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: Most certainly this looks like their final obstacle on their

593
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: way to a one lost season. If they're able to

594
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: get over Georgia, I'm just going to roll with what

595
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: I still believe to be the best unit on the field,

596
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: albeit not by much. And that's the Georgia defense. I

597
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: have it twenty three to twenty Georgia, So I suppose

598
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: I have Florida covering. I think it's going to be

599
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: quite tight and back and forth.

600
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: We both are going points here. I do like that.

601
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 2: I think that's the right move. Okay, also in that slot,

602
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: this one at four o'clock, it's Oklahoma State minus ten

603
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 2: and a half on the road in Lil Apple against

604
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 2: K State. Are we both now at the point where

605
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 2: we feel it's safe to bet against K State? Have

606
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: we both gotten there?

607
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, think I'm but but yes, I think I'm there.

608
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: And it's the Skylar Thompson loss is just such an

609
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: incredib do ble bummer. I assume he's going to come

610
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: back next year because everybody gets sort of a free

611
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: pass eligibility wise, we'll see. I just think that combination

612
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: of the what I still think is a strong Oklahoma

613
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: State defense against Will Howard and those playmakers, and case

614
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: State's vulnerability if they're not able to churn out longer

615
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: drives because of inconsistency, it's going to wear down the defense.

616
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: I think Oloma State's a couple touchdowns better.

617
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, I especially after last week, especially in

618
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 3: this matchup, I really like Oklahoma State.

619
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 2: This is the best defense they're going to see all year.

620
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 2: The offense is shaky to begin with, and last week

621
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 2: was a straight up mess, so I don't really have

622
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 2: that reason go case State here. Oklahoma State still has

623
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: a lot to play for.

624
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Last week was obviously not the kind of game that's

625
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: going to make him feel good, but they still do.

626
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: K State's offense line, by the way, could have an

627
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: extremely long day. Yeah.

628
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 2: I like Oklahoma State here by a couple touchdowns.

629
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Okay.

630
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,120
Speaker 2: Were some other action, a bunch of games in that

631
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 2: afternoon Slate. Let me read off a few in groups here.

632
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 2: You could tell me if I could jump out to you.

633
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: In the Big Ten, we've got Minnesota minus nine and

634
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 2: a half against Illinois, and we've also got Maryland plus

635
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 2: twenty five and a half on the road at Penn State.

636
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 2: I think I'm taking Illinois plus the points why I

637
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: don't like them outright, but the Minnesota defense to me

638
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 2: is now a huge question mark, huge question mark. And

639
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: even though it's Illinois, Illinois has a little history of

640
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: being plucky for Lovey Smith. Okay, so I'm going points

641
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 2: here at home.

642
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need more than that. I'm gonna need more

643
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: than a history because Illinois is down dudes on offense

644
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: and they don't move the ball all that off and

645
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: I know it islatively close last week. I think Minnesota

646
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: it's not a net crack. It's just a nice matchup

647
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: against Illinois. I'm not a believer in sky Yuma this

648
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: year after what we've seen these past couple weeks, especially

649
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: with those losses on defense. But Minnesota is not just

650
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: I understand if Talia tung of Iloa is good or

651
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: somewhat good, and Mike Loxley's known for recent interesting if

652
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: not excellent offense as being a part of them, I

653
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 1: understand that Maryland is going to have some nice offensive

654
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,959
Speaker 1: performances this year, even in losing efforts, Even in big

655
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: losing efforts. I don't see that sort of ceiling for Illinois,

656
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: especially with backups at quarterback. So I think Minnesota can

657
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: stumble into a comfortable win against a team down on

658
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: offense and not all that strong on defense thus far.

659
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: For what it's worth, I have missed horribly on Minnesota

660
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: each of the first two weeks. So sure, if you're

661
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: out there, if you're in some sort of pool or

662
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 2: maybe laying a few shekels, go with Dan, don't go

663
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 2: with me on this one.

664
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: Illinois can run the ball some, and that's interesting. They're

665
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: generating chunkier plays Illinois, so they need to build the

666
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: whole plane out of those longer runs and longer pass plays.

667
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: But if Minnesota can do basic things in terms of that,

668
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can in terms of keeping a

669
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: line I plays in front of them. Illinois is not

670
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: a marching team down the field. So I'm going to

671
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: bank on that.

672
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,719
Speaker 2: We've got Kansas at Oklahoma, We've got Texas Tech at TCU,

673
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 2: pit at Florida State. We argued about this game on

674
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 2: the bruin a trying to figure out who'd be favored here.

675
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: Pits favored by one and a half. Do you have

676
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 2: a lean in this game? Do you feel any kind

677
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 2: of tingle one way or the other?

678
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: No, I'm tingle free since eighty three times, I don't

679
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: have much in the way I can find interest and

680
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: or feigne interest in a lot of matchups, especially as

681
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: they get close, like Okay, that's an interesting storyline to

682
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: now pay attention to. The twenty twenty Pit season and

683
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty Florida State seasons are not. They don't

684
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: fall into any of those categories for me right now.

685
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: Maybe it's close, late and weird and I'll flip it

686
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: on over and who knows what happens. Maybe Florida Georgia

687
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: is not all that exciting. This game starts before then,

688
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: I believe. But Pitt's favorite on the road. Sure, I

689
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: think they just lost their their safety. There's one of

690
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: their starting safeties just opted out of the season. Yeah,

691
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Florida State here. They're at home there, Pitt.

692
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: Just last time we like previously on Pitt Football, they

693
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: lost by forty two. I'll go with Florida State at home.

694
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I'll do that too. Okay, some other

695
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 2: games here real quick, Vandy, Mississippi State. We've got UMass

696
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 2: Marshall Houston Cincinnati game we talked about earlier. Cincinnati a

697
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 2: double digit favorite, and then we got Arizona Utah Dan

698
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: Utah favored by about two touchdowns. You gotta lean in

699
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: the Pac twelve here.

700
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: I do like Utah. I like Utah, even though there's

701
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: a lot on both sides of the ball. Pretty new

702
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: for the Utes. I'm not a big fan of what

703
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: Arizona has talent wise, even with a promising quarterback in

704
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: Grant Gunnell. I am. I'm just not a fan. I'm

705
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 1: gonna go with Utah here too. I mean, the way

706
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: they started out the season last year was impressive, and

707
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: then they were blowing teams out. But they're a legit

708
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 1: crock potting team. We'll see what happens with Jake Bentley.

709
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: As for the rest of the matchups you mentioned, I

710
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: like TCU here. I think they should run pretty well

711
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,879
Speaker 1: on Texas Tech. I like Oklahoma big just because it's

712
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,959
Speaker 1: Kansas and it's minus anything. I actually like Penn State

713
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: here against Maryland. Yeah, Penn State absolutely obliterated Maryland last year.

714
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: Now could be a new turp team after what we

715
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: saw last week being competitive against a subpar Minnesota team

716
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: but not completely out of the universe Minnesota. I think

717
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: Penn States do for something big. I think they're too talented,

718
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 1: not too even with the issues that they have on

719
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. I still like Penn State

720
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: here and the line actually didn't fully make sense to me.

721
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: I could have gone with like an eighteen and a

722
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: half or for Penn State here going into the mid twenties.

723
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: It felt like a lot, and I'm just gonna steer

724
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: into it. It's one of those that I lines that

725
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: I don't fully understand. But I can't make a strong

726
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: case for Maryland after what we saw in week one.

727
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: I think they're just gonna be too inconsistent. So at

728
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 1: Penn State, I think the Knits bounce back. The Knits

729
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: bounce back. Yeah, I also don't watch Vandy Mississippi State.

730
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 2: Now, don't watch it. I'm still I'm still a little

731
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 2: bit leery about going against tull Leah Tungue ii looa

732
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: after what we saw, you go, I am, I am

733
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 2: a little bit.

734
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: But how many points does Maryland need to score to

735
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: cover this spread?

736
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: Well, twenty five and a half. I don't think much

737
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 2: of their defense, Penn State should get into the forties.

738
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 2: I would say I would expect that they get into

739
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: the forties. So what seventeen points? Maybe? Could they score

740
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: seventeen points?

741
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: Nine? Nothing in College Park last year?

742
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 2: Moving on, this is the biggin for me?

743
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: Oh seven thirty Clemson minus six and a half that sound.

744
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's like a gunner role from my abdomen,

745
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: from your loins. Oh Man, Clemson minus six and a

746
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: half on the road at Notre Dame seven thirty at night. Clemson,

747
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: of course, will be starting DJ we on galile A.

748
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: Did I get it right?

749
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 3: No?

750
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 1: You didn't.

751
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 2: What is it OUI?

752
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: You know, like the the beginning of the chorus of

753
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: Buddy Holly by Weezer, like.

754
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 4: Oo oui oui u yan galile a oui ouhinga anga

755
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 4: lalay lalay ooh yong laalay uyangaal la.

756
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 2: No, I screwed.

757
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: It's the end part is advanced tongue work, I will say,

758
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 1: and I apologize for a second advanced time.

759
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: We're so sorry, Gala.

760
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you nailed it. That was great.

761
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 2: You know.

762
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: I took in a YouTube video or two trying to

763
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: figure this out, and pronunciations is not my thing. Then

764
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: I overthink it and it's a me thing, not you.

765
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: He is starting that guy, DJ is starting in place

766
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. We pretty much had this line pegged when

767
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: we tried to guess it on the Sunday brewin A

768
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 1: or Sunday Extended recap excuse me that we offer on Patreon.

769
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: It is notable here that these teams could maybe meet

770
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 1: again in a hypothetical ACC championship. So don't assume that

771
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: if Notre Dame or even Clemson, whoever wins, don't assume

772
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: this is the only matchup. There's a really good shot

773
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,359
Speaker 1: that they could meet again depending on on how these

774
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: things go.

775
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 2: Do you have a lean here? How do you feel

776
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 2: about this game?

777
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: I think a very promising, if not very good defense

778
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: at home against a backup quarterback making his first road

779
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: road start. If I were a wagering man, that's where

780
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: I would go interesting. I think dju is already quite promising,

781
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: has a an absolute what do people like saying Howitzer.

782
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 2: And he can really spin it.

783
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 1: You know you can spin it. Yeah, he can run,

784
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: he's big. We saw those, you know, third down conversions

785
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: on some quarterback keepers and the read option game. Clemson

786
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 1: has the best offensive skill players. I might even venture

787
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: to say djau is talent wise, he's better than Ian Book,

788
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: not in terms of what he has produced, not in

789
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: terms of what he has accomplished, but in terms of

790
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: I've seen him go downfield to some good receivers I

791
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,840
Speaker 1: don't see that often from Ian book. I mean between

792
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: Travis Etn and Mari Rodgers, like, there's just there's more

793
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,359
Speaker 1: too like about game breaking with Clemson. Obviously that it's

794
00:42:55,400 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: not a controversial statement, but No Name d looks to

795
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: be really good. I don't know if Notre Dame has

796
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: played any game changing players or game changing teams or whatever,

797
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: so that that's a slight concern to me. But in generally,

798
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: if we're talking about my ethos my philosophy, I'm going

799
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: to roll with what I think is a good defense

800
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: at home. And there have been spot moments for Notre

801
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: Dame players on offense, be it what Kyron Williams and

802
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:27,439
Speaker 1: Sebo Flemster. How do you pronounce the name Flemister? Yeah, yeah,

803
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what the CounterPunch is for

804
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame. So if you're taking Notre Dame here, you're

805
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: buying them confusing DJU, forcing him into a couple mistakes.

806
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't, you know. I don't think the environment's going

807
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: to be all that altering because it's not a full

808
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: stadium or anything, but I'm going to go with that defense.

809
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to go with the green nature of dju

810
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: as a college football player and hope for a close

811
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 1: game to prove my theory correct. Now obviously, and I

812
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: think you'll agree with me here. If we are picking

813
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: which team is likelier to blow out the other team

814
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: in the case that this game is a blowout, it's Clemson.

815
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 2: It's Clemson, right, It's Clemson. Absolutely.

816
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna be a Julian Was

817
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: it Julian Love who got hurt in the playoff game? Yeah,

818
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be that situation where like

819
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: a player like Kyle Hamilton leaves and the floodgates open

820
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: for Clemson. I don't believe in that's sort of like

821
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: hinging for Notre Dame.

822
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: The sticking point for me is that Clemson's good enough

823
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: to stack the box and shut down Notre Dame on

824
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: the ground, and I don't think Ian Book is good

825
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,720
Speaker 2: enough to beat him through the air. And that's it

826
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 2: that It's that simple for me. I think Notre Dame

827
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: has a bit of a problem problem. Like you like

828
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 2: to say, it's catching on who's the go to playmaking

829
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 2: threat on the offense. If Clemson decides they want to

830
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 2: take away the run's who's next up? I don't know.

831
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 2: I mean, there are guys who are good in spots.

832
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 2: Michael maher is good for like an eight yard catch,

833
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 2: and maybe Ben'skarnic can go up for a jump ball,

834
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: but he's not quick. Who's that guy? I don't know.

835
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 2: And so that's where I have a really.

836
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 1: Harder point counterpoint. Notre Dame is way better than I are.

837
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: They're more talented and definitely better than Syracuse and Boston

838
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: College for sure, two teams that Clemson has had weird

839
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: weeks against.

840
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: Well, as a Notre Dame fan, you know, I hope

841
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: you're right, but sure, I'm just not necessarily buying it.

842
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: Clemson rises to these games. And if you're asking me

843
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: the question, well, how does Notre Dame win? I guess

844
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 2: it's Clemson playing without Trevor Lawrence somehow that changing the calculus.

845
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: DJU is going to be real good. But this is

846
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: also a really good Notre Dame defense that creates havoc

847
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: and they're just all around solid. So if this is

848
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: going to be the dink and dunk offense for Notre Dame,

849
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: they're going to need defense. They're gonna need field position,

850
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 2: and I think Notre Dame can play that game for

851
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,919
Speaker 2: a while. I do, but it's a question of how long.

852
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:57,280
Speaker 2: For how long can they because eventually somebody on Clemson's

853
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: going to break the bank and they're going to score

854
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: points on a long play. That's kind of what I'm

855
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 2: expecting here. I think it's close most of the way.

856
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: I think it's defense in punts. I think Clemson eventually

857
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: breaks the dam and they break it wide open. They

858
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 2: win by like ten, something like thirty one to twenty one.

859
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: Is this as I've seen? Our friend Pete Samson mentioned

860
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 1: a full on referendum of the Brian Kelly era since

861
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: the playoff loss. Wow, it's an ideal situation, right, You're

862
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: at home with a good defense against a backup quarterback.

863
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: The stars have aligned for you, against a nationally elite team.

864
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 2: I understand that point of view.

865
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: If not now, then when.

866
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 2: I understand that point of view, I really do, and

867
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:45,919
Speaker 2: I don't think I don't think it's the wrong one.

868
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 2: But to be honest with you, I just I don't

869
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: think as highly of this Notre Dame team as I

870
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 2: have others in the very recent past, and it's it's

871
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 2: tough for me to get behind that. It really is.

872
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: Find some winter wonders. Notre Dame, what are we doing?

873
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: It's it's tough find it. Find a six two and

874
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: five pound receiver who can run a four to four

875
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: and disrupt some defenses.

876
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 2: Both things can be true. By the way, both things

877
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 2: can be true. You know, this can absolutely be a

878
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: referendum given.

879
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: With a third year starter quarterback as well.

880
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 2: Given the circumstances. Yeah, so I totally get that. At

881
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: the same time, I think, you know, you got to

882
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,680
Speaker 2: look at the team. You got to look at the

883
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 2: circumstance here, and it's it's not a high powered aerial

884
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 2: threat offense, you know. I mean they like to run

885
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: the ball.

886
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: Notre Dame does. On defense, I mean they.

887
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 2: Create havoc, they really do. They're good at They're good

888
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 2: at getting behind the one of scrimmage.

889
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: They're good at disrupting lines. Yeah, yeah, they're really so

890
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: they're down what they're there? They're buck linebacker Maris Loufou

891
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 1: targeting call. Yes, I believe against was it Georgia Tech

892
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: last week?

893
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:54,919
Speaker 2: Right?

894
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: Right? Okay, so somewhere to watch a pick on situation

895
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: maybe with your a CTN.

896
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 2: What's your final.

897
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: Twenty seven twenty four Clemson.

898
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 2: All right. Also at seven o'clock A and M Texas

899
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: A and M on the road minus seven and a

900
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 2: half against South Carolina. It's worth reiterating, I think for

901
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: A and m's sake, their only loss was to Alabama,

902
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 2: not necessarily something to be ashamed of. They did knock

903
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 2: off Florida or Florida excuse me, as we alluded to earlier.

904
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 2: They've got five games left in this season. This is

905
00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 2: technically the easiest one, per the sp Plus, I like

906
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: South Carolina. I don't like them this much.

907
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: What do you like about South Carolina?

908
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 2: My sticking point is that I still do not have

909
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 2: a high degree of confidence in A and M covering

910
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: on the road. That's the only sticking point for me.

911
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: I'm confident they'll win, I'm not sure by how much.

912
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: And the line the line to me is feels very low.

913
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: Let's say you Texas A and M lock of the week,

914
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 2: bluck of the week, lock.

915
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: Of the week, block of the week. As weird as

916
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: it set, it sounds to say. Once Texas A and

917
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: M got by Arkansas, a season, a relatively special season

918
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,640
Speaker 1: became more real. But Arkansas, that Arkansas game is always

919
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: strange even when Arkansas is especially down, and the fact

920
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: that they comfortably won that game by ten or eleven

921
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: points and LSU has fallen too. The depth the depths,

922
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 1: there's my english that they have. The Auburn game is

923
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 1: going to be tricky, but that the next I think

924
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 1: it's four games South Carolina, Tennessee on the road, Ole

925
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,400
Speaker 1: miss LSU just I think became so much more real,

926
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 1: and I think A and M is going to comfortably

927
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,360
Speaker 1: beat South Carolina by two to three touchdowns because I

928
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: don't like the South Carolina defense. I think Kellen Mond

929
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,000
Speaker 1: is coming into his own. I like the A and

930
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: M tight end. I like the A and M running game.

931
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, the receiving corps is up and down. But

932
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: I like a NYA Smith as an all purpose weapon.

933
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: So yeah, I really do think they're locked in in

934
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,360
Speaker 1: a way that I was hoping for but not necessarily expecting.

935
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: Give me A and M comfortably because South Carolina at

936
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: this point has done what exactly to give you. I

937
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: mean the Auburn win is that, like they comfortably beat Vanderbilt,

938
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: they lose in a weird close Week one to Tennessee.

939
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: They sort of make it interesting against Florida, but still

940
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: lose by two touchdowns and then just get the doors

941
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: blown off that defense as by an LSU offense. I

942
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: don't think we think huge things of after last week.

943
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,879
Speaker 1: So A and M is surprisingly consistent in a sea

944
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: of unease.

945
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go A and M here. It's sort

946
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,879
Speaker 2: of against my better judgment. I don't know why. I'm

947
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 2: very leary of this one, but.

948
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: I don't think South Carolina has a heartbeat on defense.

949
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: If they did, I understand your learness.

950
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: All right, you're gonna be watching Stanford against Oregon, your Oregon.

951
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: I'll be watching both this and Clemson Notre Dame at

952
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: the same time.

953
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oregon's an eleven and a half point home favorite.

954
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: Here to talk to me a little bit about this game,

955
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 2: So I still need to do some remediation on the

956
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 2: PAC twelve and get a sense for where things are at.

957
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 2: But if the line tells you anything, and I think

958
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: it accurately portrays Stanford in this case, but Cardinal might

959
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,479
Speaker 2: be looking at a step back year or mediocre year.

960
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 2: And you know, Oregon's got questions, but they should be

961
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 2: clearly the better team.

962
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 1: Stanford finished last season as the eighty eighth ranked SP

963
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 1: plus team seventy fourth on offense, eighty seventh on defense.

964
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: If they're taking a step back from that, I don't

965
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: know what the future of Stanford looks like. I think

966
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: they'll be better. They had the quarterback injury, bad luck

967
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: last year, and now obviously kJ Costello gone, Davis Mills

968
00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 1: full time quarterback. They should have a very good offensive line.

969
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 1: But this was a nightmare. You talk about noted ames

970
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: like problem problems in winter wonders. I don't know who's

971
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: making plays for Stanford this year, like they just it's

972
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: a complete lack of dudes for the Cardinal as far

973
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: as I can tell. Now Oregon new quarterback, Oregon, new

974
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, Oregon fully new offensive line, Oregon largely new

975
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,240
Speaker 1: full time starting secondary. Though a lot of the guys

976
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 1: back because they lose what Brady Breese and Thomas Graham

977
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 1: and Jevon Holland, three starters in their secondary opting out.

978
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: But they're so deep on defense. Their defense was so

979
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 1: good last year. It was sort of a workmanlike effort

980
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:42,439
Speaker 1: at Stanford. I expect a weird beginning to this game

981
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: with all of those new pieces and all of those places,

982
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,320
Speaker 1: but Ultimately, I think they're going to score points on defense,

983
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: maybe on special teams because Mchael Wright is a special

984
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: kick returner, and I'm going to go Oregon here, something

985
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: like thirty four to twenty. They cover this relative front

986
00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,400
Speaker 1: door cover relatively late. Should be noted forties and rainy.

987
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 2: I do have a sound, by the way, please front

988
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: door cover. You just got to warn me in advance,

989
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: but sorry, sorry, they're going to scare a lot of dogs.

990
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 1: That sounded. It's fine, chance of rain forties, so it'll

991
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 1: be a little cold, a little wet. But I just

992
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about Oregon and some of

993
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: the new faces coming in.

994
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: I haven't I didn't look to see what the weather

995
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 2: is going to be in South Bend because we've had,

996
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:23,439
Speaker 2: you know, the.

997
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: Clear in South Bend, so showers and wind. Florida, Georgia.

998
00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 2: Oh okay, No, Mon's soon game for Notre Dame Clemson.

999
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: Not that I can tell. I can check, I can

1000
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 1: give you various I can give you specifics, is what

1001
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you right now. But I looked

1002
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: it up earlier and it did not stand out to me.

1003
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: It looks like a high in the high sixties during

1004
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: the day. Kickoff is what seven thirty eight o'clock local time,

1005
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: seven thirty Yeah, clear in the fifties South in Indiana,

1006
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: Saturday night at eight pm. Precipitation three percent, chance, wind

1007
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: seven miles an hour.

1008
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 2: Cool, Okay, A bunch of other nightcaps to go through.

1009
00:53:59,719 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: Let's stay in the pac twelve three games. Ucla minus

1010
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 2: five and a half against Colorado. We've got Washington minus

1011
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 2: two and a half against Cal and Washington State minus

1012
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 2: two and a half against Oregon State. Mm hmm, so

1013
00:54:15,239 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 2: low numbers there.

1014
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,920
Speaker 1: To be love Ucla because I am not all that

1015
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: confident in Colorado being competitive this year. Washington against Cal.

1016
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna roll with Cal defense at home against a

1017
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: Washington team with what a new head coach and Jimmy Lake,

1018
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,239
Speaker 1: your boy John Donovan finally coordinator.

1019
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: Cal's my home doog of the week.

1020
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: It's a good home dog. I like that. I didn't

1021
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 1: pick one yet.

1022
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 2: Dog of the week. Google for Garber's.

1023
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 1: Baby, Google for Garber's Yeah, they might have. I mean,

1024
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: they're not expected to have winter wonders. They're not supposed

1025
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: to be playing deep into January. If that's when things

1026
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: are going to be played. But they still have a

1027
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: skill position deficit at Cal that that really is the

1028
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: missing link. They have a new offensive coordinator as well.

1029
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 1: It hasn't been an amazing year to be learning a

1030
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: new offense rep wise, but I think I like Cal here,

1031
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: especially after a couple couple straight wins against Washington. I

1032
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,759
Speaker 1: like Oregon State against Wazoo. That's another fully overhauled team

1033
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: with a new coaching staff under Nick Rolovich, who himself

1034
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: got off to not the best start I would say

1035
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 1: in Pullman. So I'm gonna go with Oregon State there

1036
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 1: because of that promising defense and Jonathan Smith really getting

1037
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: that team competitive quickly. And I think those are the

1038
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 1: three games you asked me about. You want to go

1039
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: sec ACC Big twelve. Yeah.

1040
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,399
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm with you on UCLA. Okay, I'm

1041
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,240
Speaker 2: tempted to lock that one up, but I just don't

1042
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,439
Speaker 2: know much about the Pac twelve yet.

1043
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: Sorry.

1044
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 2: Have to fully admit that cal I was on that

1045
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: one early. So I'll stick with CAL and I'll go

1046
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 2: Oregon State too.

1047
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 1: Okay, you say that he has a couple promising players

1048
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,960
Speaker 1: on offense the defense, we'll see what. I don't think

1049
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: Colorado is the team to take advantage.

1050
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: Seven point thirty. We've got Tennessee minus a point and

1051
00:55:55,600 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: a half on the road at Arkansas. Dan, at Kansas.

1052
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: It is now November.

1053
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 1: Mm hmm portlanda rottig. I like that we've kept it out.

1054
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brett Bielma hasn't been there for a number of years, but.

1055
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:19,879
Speaker 1: It's just two coaches ago now.

1056
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:27,479
Speaker 2: But November does something that sticks with Arkansas henceforth. And look,

1057
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 2: this is an interesting spot here. A point and a half.

1058
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 2: It's low number. The Valls were on bye last week,

1059
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: but they lost three straight before that to Georgia, Kentucky

1060
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 2: and Alabama. Not easy but on a bit of a skid.

1061
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 2: The Hogs are tasty. They are plucky.

1062
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: Dan, Tennessee coming off of bye.

1063
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 2: Point in a half. How do you feel about this game? O? Tasty?

1064
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Arkansas is my home dog of the week.

1065
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. You don't need to play it again,

1066
00:56:58,520 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: but you can.

1067
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: The Yokos it's home dog of the week.

1068
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: It's emotional for me, ty, I don't know if it's

1069
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: fully rational. Tennessee has not won a game in a

1070
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: month now. You mentioned Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama seven points against

1071
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky at home. They lost the Georgia game by twenty three.

1072
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: I know it was close to the half. The Alabama

1073
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: game was really never all that close. They end up

1074
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: losing that one by thirty one. I think a decent

1075
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: defense at home. As a dog at night, Arkansas at night,

1076
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 1: Barry otom bumper Pool, I think there's some hogs in

1077
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: this house, Ti, and I'm going to Arkansas by six

1078
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: or seven.

1079
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 2: So I just in this house.

1080
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Tennessee offense to me is it's just it's

1081
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: too rough a watch, and they get off the field

1082
00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: too quickly. They're not stringing together even relatively successful plays.

1083
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 1: Now Arkansas and their defense the talent wise and production

1084
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: wise in anywhere near Alabama, Kentucky or Georgia. But I

1085
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: don't know. Sometimes the college football gods just smile down

1086
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: upon thee and I think it's one of those years

1087
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: for Arkansas. So once again, there are some hogs in

1088
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 1: this house. And in this house the dog the home

1089
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: dog of the weeks are Barkin home Dogs of the week. Yeah,

1090
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: I am going to go Arkansas as well. I'm going

1091
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: to go Arkansas as well. We have a contingent of

1092
00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: Arkansas fans that listen to this show and have for

1093
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: years waited for something to hang their hats on. That's

1094
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: part of why novembert the borderline e rotics sound as

1095
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: it's listed here on my soundboard is still a thing

1096
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: all these years later.

1097
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 2: Two coaches removed, So let's go hogs. Why not?

1098
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,920
Speaker 1: There are some hogs in this house. Tie everybody knows.

1099
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 2: It real quick. Four other games here that I just

1100
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: want to mention. Saturday night, We've got Louisville on the

1101
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 2: road at Virginia Genia minus two and a half, Baylor

1102
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 2: Iowa State, Iowa States favored by two touchdowns, South Alabama

1103
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 2: against Coastal Carolina Coastal favored by seventeen and Rutgers Ohio State.

1104
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 2: I didn't even see a line in this game. I

1105
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,040
Speaker 2: don't know if it matters for our purposes, but any

1106
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: thoughts on those before I quickly moved to two night

1107
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 2: caps on Friday.

1108
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:18,040
Speaker 1: Louisville Virginia is intriguing to me. I believe Louisville beat

1109
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 1: them last year. If I'm looking at this correctly. They

1110
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: beat them by a touchdown in twenty nineteen, and Virginia

1111
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: has had issues this year, certainly when Brendan Armstrong hasn't

1112
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 1: been in but I Virginia is confounding what they hold

1113
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: on to beat North Carolina last week. They're not generating

1114
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: big plays at all on offense, but their defense is

1115
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 1: relatively interesting against the run and kind of a nightmare

1116
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 1: against the past. So if we are to believe Louisville

1117
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: is playing a series of what seven or eight seasons

1118
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: within twenty twenty, I'm going to roll with once again

1119
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: the Cardinals as a successful team against Virginia, and I

1120
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: think they're going to light them up through the air.

1121
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 1: So give me, give me Louisville on the road here

1122
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: to fly the script a bit.

1123
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:07,560
Speaker 2: My nominee for a fifty one to fifty three overtime

1124
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 2: thriller is probably that game out Ville Virginia. I'm not

1125
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 2: expecting much defense, but I do like Virginia. I'm gonna

1126
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 2: go Virginia in that game.

1127
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Iowa State big? Did you mention Ohio State Rutgers?

1128
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: I mentioned it very briefly.

1129
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Is there a line? I didn't see it down here?

1130
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:24,439
Speaker 2: I didn't see.

1131
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: I suppose Ohio State minus anything at National Coastal Coastal

1132
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Carolina the Shans sixteen and a half seventeen point favorites

1133
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: against the Jags South Alabama. You know I'm going to

1134
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: shots that impossible, internship, Hi, come.

1135
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 2: On, I don't have a lock yet. I'm inclined to

1136
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: go Iowa State just because Baylor's kind of a mess.

1137
01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: But Baylor's kind of mess showed fight coming back against

1138
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 1: TCU when the Frogs took there.

1139
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:51,360
Speaker 2: I know that's what's their web feed off the pedal

1140
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 2: final two games here on Friday. We've got Miami minus

1141
01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 2: nine and a half on the road at NC State,

1142
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 2: and we've got a big one nine forty five BYU

1143
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,439
Speaker 2: minus two and a half on the road against Boise State.

1144
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: I like Miami. I think Miami is going to do

1145
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: a good job against NC State. I like I think

1146
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: that their their time off will serve them well to

1147
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: get things cleaned up. Did they just they just had

1148
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 1: a bye week Miami? I believe, yes, yes, correct, Yeah,

1149
01:01:19,760 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 1: because I didn't come across just super frustrated Miami fans

1150
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 1: on social media. So that's what made me assume that

1151
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: the Canes were off BYU Boise.

1152
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, given me the vapors, man.

1153
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how late I'm gonna stay up for

1154
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: this game. I might watch the first half of least.

1155
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: It's eight forty five PM, not nine to forty five

1156
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: for me in uh in God's time zone apparently, But

1157
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: we don't know if Hank Bochmeer is playing. My guess

1158
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 1: is no problem. I guess is the secrecy surrounding his

1159
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:59,439
Speaker 1: absence last week against air Force is either discipline or

1160
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: COVID related.

1161
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 2: The secrecy envelope around Hank Bachmeyer.

1162
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Is yeah, somewhat same sealed as well. Yeah, I'm gonna

1163
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: go BYU here. I'm gonna go BYU here because I

1164
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: think they are. I mean, I hate that it's on

1165
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: the road. I think poise the slow start last week

1166
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 1: against air Force. Mind you, it's so early in Boise season,

1167
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: but still I think the game testedness, the size that

1168
01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:27,440
Speaker 1: the gravity of BYU starting the way that they have

1169
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 1: and now seeing Boise State as the biggest roadblock, I think,

1170
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the road element's going to

1171
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: mean all that much. Give me Zach Wilson, give me

1172
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: the Koogs and given that it could be Jack Sears

1173
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 1: probably that's my double barrel lock of the week.

1174
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 2: Block of the week. When was the last time that

1175
01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: you gave two locks? And I gave none.

1176
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've been deficient in my locking and

1177
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: now I'm making up for it.

1178
01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 2: I don't know who I want to lock up this week.

1179
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 2: I'm really struggling with it a little bit.

1180
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 1: Okay, well you want to go back through the games,

1181
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: I can tell you who you sounded most confidently.

1182
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 2: I sound most confident talking about.

1183
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: You sounded pretty confident, weird weirdly confident in Illinois. You

1184
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: were confident in that Michigan State is not going to

1185
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: look but that was more of a season long thing,

1186
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: you know what. I think. You sounded pretty confident in

1187
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: ASU with that early start against USC. You also defended

1188
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 1: your Indiana pick for quite some time against Michigan at home.

1189
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:33,760
Speaker 1: That's a home dog situation.

1190
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:34,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1191
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: You sounded pretty confident in West Virginia against Texas. The

1192
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:39,919
Speaker 1: West Virginia not great on the road.

1193
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Oklahoma State live a week. Give me

1194
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 2: the pokes, all right. That is all we have, Dan, Yeah,

1195
01:03:52,400 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: we do have some breaking news though, oh do we

1196
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 2: We've been doing the Colonial League drum and fife. I know,

1197
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 2: turns out they only played a six games, sleek sort of.

1198
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 2: It's over. It's over. We have no more games to

1199
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,200
Speaker 2: discuss here, no more drum and fife to play. Northwestern

1200
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 2: Lehigh congratulations six and oh in conference Caddy rough Riders,

1201
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 2: ha ha ha one in six overall, bottom of the barrel.

1202
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 2: But Dan, yeah, what a season?

1203
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, Well, how do you judge Northwestern Lehigh it's

1204
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,960
Speaker 1: six and one overall losing a non conference game, and

1205
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: Notre Dame Green Pond at six and oh overall but

1206
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: only played four conference games at four and.

1207
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 2: Oh, ah, man, the Crusaders had it work in six

1208
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 2: and oh.

1209
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 1: This is sort of a test case, right, isn't it

1210
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: sort of like an election where people are looking at

1211
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 1: counties two years ahead when there's like a special election

1212
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: like it swung two points. So this is our test

1213
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: case of how do you judge six six and one

1214
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: with six and oh four and oh? That's the start.

1215
01:05:04,240 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: This is what everybody's taught. You can't turn on a

1216
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: TV without hearing herb Street or Klatt or anybody who

1217
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,880
Speaker 1: at one point bleached their tips of their hair talking

1218
01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: about Northwestern Green Pond.

1219
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 2: I need to kill that music. Watch such a good song. Wow?

1220
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, we went the frot the Frosty friends. So

1221
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: Catasauqua at once uh, Salisbury Township at one in five

1222
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: bangor one and five pen Argyle at two and four

1223
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: Wilson who I learned this recently. I think an email

1224
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,920
Speaker 1: or somebody on discord or somebody said that you are

1225
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: misrepresenting what exactly Wilson is as like a three block

1226
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: radius within Easton. I think Palmerton, the Palmis, the fighting

1227
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: Pommies at two and four, soccin Valley two and two.

1228
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 1: You're not far from there, right, are my mism Soccing.

1229
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: Valley You're I'm not far from any of these spots, Dan.

1230
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: All right, okay, Northern le High four and three, pally High, which, yes,

1231
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: the record doesn't reflect it, but people are saying the

1232
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,880
Speaker 1: heart and soul of the Colonial League. They finished at

1233
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,080

1234
01:06:13,080 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: four and one. M frosty friends.

1235
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 2: All right, Dan, well, fun show on this Spirit airline Saturday.

1236
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, just.

1237
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:28,400
Speaker 2: Take whatever you need, take whatever you need. You get

1238
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 2: there eventually.

1239
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: Mm hmm. But you ever dye your hair?

1240
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 2: No?

1241
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: Did you do blonde hair?

1242
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 4: No?

1243
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely not the only time.

1244
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 2: The only time I ever did anything to my hair

1245
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 2: was one night when I had a few drinks in

1246
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 2: college on Halloween and decided I needed a last second costume.

1247
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.

1248
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 2: And perhaps no week more fitting than this to say

1249
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 2: that I dressed as Sean Connery by using some sort

1250
01:06:55,120 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 2: of white spray in my hair. Okay, and in the

1251
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 2: absence of any real fake beard, trying to use Elmer's

1252
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,280
Speaker 2: glue to attach cotton balls to my actual face.

1253
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 1: How that work out?

1254
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 2: It did not work out, well, it really just did not.

1255
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 2: And I can't do as Sean connery British accent either,

1256
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 2: so I really just went as somebody who had white

1257
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 2: spray paint in their hair.

1258
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: Well do you do the Darryl Hammond snl Sean Connery?

1259
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,959
Speaker 1: Was that was the inspiration for it, That's what I imagine. Yeah,

1260
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: that was the.

1261
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 2: Inspiration for it. At the time. All I can really

1262
01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: do is welcome to the Rock. That's it. That's all

1263
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 2: I have. And it sounds better in person than it

1264
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 2: just did on the microphone. But it's really not that good.

1265
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: No, But it's your connection to Sean Connery and Nick Cage,

1266
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: so it counts for something. My follow up question that

1267
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: we can leave because I just said the word frosty

1268
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of times. It was the last time you

1269
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 1: had Wendy's. I think whenever I see people arguing about

1270
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: spicy chick and fast food in the Chick fil A

1271
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: versus Popeyes whatever, I think Wendy's makes and I haven't

1272
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 1: had it in years now. I think they make a

1273
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: pretty good spicy chicken sandwich. Tie.

1274
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: Not a sponsor, Wendy's, but you're not.

1275
01:08:12,200 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: Not a sponsor, Absolutely not a sponsor. I think they

1276
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: brought spicy nugs back, which I think is a power move.

1277
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,719
Speaker 2: I was in the car in the Wendy's drive through

1278
01:08:21,560 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 2: on the phone with you at some point.

1279
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:30,560
Speaker 1: Okay, do you remember this, No, this wasn't that long familiar. Okay,

1280
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,920
Speaker 1: did I tell you to get the spicy chicken sandwich?

1281
01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 2: You told me get the spicy chicken nuggets, which I did.

1282
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, how are they?

1283
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:37,080
Speaker 2: They're really good?

1284
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course I have to look back to see

1285
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: when that was, but it wasn't all that long ago. Yeah,

1286
01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,800
Speaker 1: look it up on your on your bank statement.

1287
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 2: On my bank statement. I will, you know, I will. Okay.

1288
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: I think it's a terrific, terrific fast food option. I

1289
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,720
Speaker 1: just haven't had it in a long time. Yeah, they're

1290
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: spicy chicken, it's worth I think the Jack in the

1291
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: box spicy chicken is worth entering into the conversation if

1292
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: you like the crusty element. Popeyes is the move. Popeyes

1293
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: is definitely the move because they put a lot more

1294
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: batter on their chicken. I'm fine with it. I thought

1295
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 1: it was good Chick fil A delicious, and especially it's

1296
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 1: bare bones because you're just throwing a couple of pickles beneath.

1297
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't go for whatever they call it the supreme,

1298
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: But if we're purely judging on the top of the

1299
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: top fast food spicy chicken options, I think Wendy's isn't

1300
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: that conversation. I think they really do bring the heat.

1301
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:28,759
