WEBVTT - Bowl Previews: Part 3 (12/18/2016)

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid Verbo. Come that for me.

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>I want to be happy. You want to be happy

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 2>for day Edith State?

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:19.759
<v Speaker 1>Is that? Whoa? Whoa? And Dan and Ty welcome back

0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Soliburbal boys and girls. My name is Ty

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.959
<v Speaker 1>hilden Brand. I am joined as always by my friend

0:00:25.079 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and colleague and co host of many years, a fine

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>gentleman over there in the good old NYC by the

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>name of Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how are you?

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I am really good? Ty, I am. I am genuinely

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 2>very good. This is as rested as I've ever been

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 2>when we recorded a show. We're recording ten am Eastern Time.

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I had a wonderful night's sleep last night because normally

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.239
<v Speaker 2>we record Sunday mornings, we're up late watching games, and

0:00:51.320 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I was up sort of late watching Bowl games. But

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 2>or you know, after a long day's work, I really

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 2>relish these shows.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Ty.

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm I'm in the little Dan Cave and my apartments,

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm feeling wonderful. People told us during the season

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:06.960
<v Speaker 2>it sounded like our Sunday morning shows didn't have quite

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the oomph of a Wednesday Show. True, you are punchy

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>after a day's work. I will say that.

0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I see how. I see how people would get that impression.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>To your point though, about getting a good night's sleep.

0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So I got an Apple Watch. I don't know if

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>I've announced this on the show or not, but I

0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.160
<v Speaker 1>bought an Apple Watch.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Not as good as MVMT for me for my money, of.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Course, guy. But I'm trying to I'm seeing what different

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>applications are available to me, and one of the things

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I started trying to do was monitor my sleep. You

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>know how I sleep, Dan, We've talked about this before

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>on the show.

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Like you've been in the hull of a ship for

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>your entire life. I've been deeply.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Alarmed at the sleep quote unquote score that I've been

0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.200
<v Speaker 1>assigned by some of these apps. Like, oh no, if

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>it were in terms of a test that you take

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>in elementary school, I'd get a constant f. My sleep

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>score is like a sixty one one percent. Okay, these

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>apps know how poorly I sleep, but they offer no

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>suggestions for how to actually fix it.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.959
<v Speaker 2>So I guess that's the I offer you a suggestion.

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I've tried the apps, but but they get me

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to sleep. They don't keep me asleep.

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.119
<v Speaker 2>That's a problem. Oh, I gotcha, Sere.

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm going with this. I do.

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>I do see where you're going. How are you doing otherwise,

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>ty how is your college football brain? My college football

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>brain is great. I don't know if you saw, but

0:02:27.320 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people have tweeted us now thanking us

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 2>for presenting this alternative theory for bull confidence pools how

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>to go about it?

0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>And I actually looked this morning. The solid verbal Among

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the many thousands of groups in ESPN's bull Confidence Pool,

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the solid verbal has the second highest average score so

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.920
<v Speaker 1>far through like five games. Mind you, but sure, but

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>that's something we're doing, okay.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Would you say, because I don't think I've missed a

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>game yet. I think I was five for five yesterday.

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what you record was yesterday.

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.839
<v Speaker 1>I missed one. I missed the UCF game. Oh, sorry

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>to hear it. I tried to convince you. Would you

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 1>say because of the success that both we and our

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>listeners are having that the solid verbal universe is having

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a December to remember. If you look outside, Tye, there

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is a there's a lexus with a giant novelty bow

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>that I left for you, because Ty.

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>This isn't the seasons. It's not about me not sharing

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 2>Ty and what you did telling people to invest big

0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>early in these ballgames. I think it really speaks to

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the holiday spirit that's not just within you, within all of.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Us, the lexus with the bow. You are too much, man.

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.200

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>about Hill Country Chicken. One, it's pretty central. It's near

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>a bunch of trains. You can get there really easily.

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Two.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.920
<v Speaker 2>They have like this ridiculous basement and that's where we're

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 2>doing our show. You go downstairs and it's appointed like

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.919
<v Speaker 2>you would like a den or a basement from like

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>a suburban home. In nineteen ninety four, it's there's like

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.000

<v Speaker 2>ali Well from the Kings of rum Ye interviewed him

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>down there in the basement. Shot easy call a couple

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:09.240

<v Speaker 2>Country locations. It's a great place. They do great things.

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 2>And eight pm Saturday, January fourteenth. Tickets go on sale

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 2>this coming Wednesday, the twenty first, at one pm. You

<v Speaker 2>can find we will will tweet it out at one pm.

0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 2>We'll post it on Facebook at one pm. I believe

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.320
<v Speaker 2>if you google solid verbal and event right b our ite,

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 2>you should be able to get to the page. And

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 2>I would stress try to move relatively quickly because it's

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a it's a pretty small space and we just want

0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 2>to have fun with some of our pals.

0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>So the plan is going to be at that point

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>to celebrate the national champion, because the championship game is

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the Monday before our live event, so we'll know who

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.279
<v Speaker 1>the champion is. I mean, I'll be celebrating Temple football,

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.479
<v Speaker 1>so we'll I'll be celebrating our own football situations. But

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.120
<v Speaker 1>in particular, the champion will know who it is, and

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna reflect on some of the central themes from

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>the season, and we're gonna eat the chicken. And I

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>believe there are drinks. Will there be drinks? They?

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely. I don't know if we I don't know

0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 2>if we're offering a package, like if you get a ticket,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna get you a chicken sandwich and a shiner. Right,

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 2>But they have really good Texas beer and they have

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 2>fried chicken sandwiches. They do I don't know if they

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 2>still do this, so I can't promise this, but this

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>just sort of speaks and they're they're not paying us

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to say any of this.

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>There what was it? It was?

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>They're mashed potatoes. They like these cheesy mashed potatoes. I'm

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>generally not a big mashed potatoes guy, but they would

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>just cut up French fries and put them in the

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 2>mashed potatoes.

0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm great with that. Yeah, I'm wondering. I'm fine with

0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>this idea. Yeah.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 2>This is also a place that when I went there

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 2>with our pal Andy Staples, he had a person on

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Twitter after he posted a picture of his tray of

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.280
<v Speaker 2>fried chicken send him call the restaurant and send him

0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a pie, Like like he was a charming dude across

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 2>the bar sending a drink to a potential lover. Tye,

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:07.640
<v Speaker 2>he got sent a pie.

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so that's pretty cool. So that's what we're doing

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>at January fourteenth. It'll be at eight pm. Hopefully everybody

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>in and around New York City that is interested can

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>the Holiday Bowl. As it pertains to the topic at

0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.079
<v Speaker 1>hand here, we're going to go through what the Military

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Bowl through the Birmingham Bowl. So we got a bunch

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of games to discuss. But as it relates to bulls,

0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota was threatening a boycott. Ten teammates had been suspended

0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>as part of an ongoing investigation. The football team thought

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that they were not given due process and they were

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>threatening to not play in the Holiday Bowl. So there

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:10.559
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of scuttle butt on this, as you

0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>might imagine, in the days leading up to I guess

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they came to a conclusion, like yesterday or Friday evening,

0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.440
<v Speaker 1>would Northern Illinois take their place? Would it just be

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>an outright forfeit? A lot of questions surrounding this. The

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>boycott is now over, if you're wondering. The team met

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>with some university officials, and I believe they're now at

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a point where yes, they're going to the bowl game.

0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 1>They're going to play against Washington State. All's well, that

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>ends Well, I will be picking Washington State because this

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.480
<v Speaker 1>seems like a bit of a distraction. H But with

0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that being said, alas it will be Minnesota against Washington

0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>State in the National Funding Holiday Bowl. Yeah.

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.840
<v Speaker 2>And I sort of got the intentions of the players

0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>trying to look out for due process and hoping that

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 2>their teammates weren't railroaded because of something that they didn't do.

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.200
<v Speaker 2>But then apparently they read an eighty page report that

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.440
<v Speaker 2>is not an insignificant number of pages about the alleged incident,

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and that sort of changed their minds. And the lesson

0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:15.520
<v Speaker 2>here is if players plural especially are being suspended for

0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:19.040
<v Speaker 2>something as heinous a sexual assault, give it a second,

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.560
<v Speaker 2>sort of figure out what's happening, you know, try to

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 2>stay as informed as one possibly can, and the sort

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>of rush to sort of defend your teammates needs to

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 2>probably slow down until you're able to sort of gather

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:38.160
<v Speaker 2>as much information as possible. So I guess happy to

0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 2>see that players are seeing truths and recognizing that probably

0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>they shouldn't be associated with certain alleged truths. Also, have

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.640
<v Speaker 2>we discussed WAKI leaks? Oh no, we haven't. We should

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>talk about that now, we because we recorded earlier in

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 2>the week, right before it came out, maybe the day

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 2>before it came out. Wake Forest Who radio broadcaster Tommy

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 2>L Rod I think his name is, yes, Tommy al Rod,

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:10.280
<v Speaker 2>former assistant coach, was not retained. He was a GROB

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>assistant and just not a good twenty sixteen for all

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 2>things related to Jim Grove, former Globe assistant not retained

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>by Dave Clauson turned radio broadcaster, and for at least

0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 2>two years, I mean I think two years of the allegation.

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows this by now, but was giving proprietary information

0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to demon Deacon opponents, which is one crazy. Two, he's

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.560
<v Speaker 2>probably not the only bitter person to do this with

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 2>access to information across college football. And three we know

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:44.760
<v Speaker 2>Louisville and was a Virginia tach Junia Tech. Yeah, we're

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>both find the maximum number of dollars which was like

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty five thousand dollars by the ACC for being involved

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 2>in illegal espionage. Man, And that was two years ago.

0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 2>That was the way zero zero game with Virginia Tech.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>The one where Frank Frank Beemer's holding up his arms

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>at the end of regulation zero zero.

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, celebrating holding Wake to zero while at the same

0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 2>time scoring zero points. And it is like, it's such

0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>a huge bummer, And I don't know who's exactly to

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>feel bad for other than Wake Forest fans and players

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>who put so much energy and enthusiasm into their team

0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:25.440
<v Speaker 2>without all sorts of good results recently. But man, like,

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>how impossible is it to be a coach at an

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.320
<v Speaker 2>average or below average place? You already have so much

0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>stacked against you if you're you know, the coach of

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Wake Forest, just because there are so many other teams

0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 2>in their conference with so much more in the way

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 2>of resources and talent whatever, and then a story comes

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 2>out with like, oh, your radio guys also sabotaging you

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>because he's bitter. Well, what I want to know is this, Yeah,

0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:53.080
<v Speaker 2>what's the market value for Wake Forest game plans? It

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't exactly like uh, or play in Alabama here right,

0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 2>because I can't imagine they're worth a whole lot.

0:12:59.240 --> 0:12:59.840
<v Speaker 1>It was Wake for.

0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, okay, so here's the thing. You can think about

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>it in two ways. So you can think about it

0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 2>in that way that like, yes, it's Wake Forest, like

0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 2>how much can their game plans be worth? But ty,

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I would argue, how much is not losing to Wake

0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Forest worth?

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>It's worth all?

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>If you are you know what Jimbo Fisher or whoever

0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 2>in the acc if you're Bobby Patrino, if your Dabbo.

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean, obviously Clemson was not implicated, but I would

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 2>say not losing to Wake is pretty valuable.

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Gosh, I just can't imagine someone wanting to give up

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.360
<v Speaker 1>too much to get these. But okay, and.

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Now Notre Dame has their defensive coordinator one of like

0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>the big shining bright lights of twenty sixteen for Wake

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:40.520
<v Speaker 2>is now also gone.

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>That is correct, tie, That is correct. I like the move.

0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I've been reading about it for a while now. But

0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike Elko is the new defensive coordinator for Notre Dame.

0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>He's one of those guys that is very underrated. If

0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.880
<v Speaker 1>you look at the numbers, he has improved Wake Forest

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 1>dramatically on the defensive side of the football. He has

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely made them better at getting to the quarterback, which

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 1>is something that Notre Dame really struggled to do this season.

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 1>So I think to bring him in is a huge coup.

0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if it's officially official, but they are

0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in the process of finalizing the deal now to bring

0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 1>him in. All signs point to it being Mike Elko

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and South Bend next season, and that's absolutely a great move.

0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:25.280
<v Speaker 2>So he was there for three seasons, including this one,

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 2>but something that stands out to me, and I'm gonna

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 2>tell you right this is shocking. I did not watch

0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 2>a ton of Wake football, but I watched some this year.

0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 2>And when you look at the numbers, tie and what

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 2>am I going to reference here? You're gonna reference d

0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>analytics again. I'm I'm gonna referenced analytics. This is just

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>generally speaking, and the more standard stats reflect this as well.

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Wake didn't do a great job of stopping bigger plays.

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.360
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that Wake's offense was so terrible and

0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.000
<v Speaker 2>they were still able, you know, and on the field

0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 2>so much, that defense was able to be pretty damn good.

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 2>That that always impresses me, not to a defensive coordinator,

0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 2>but a defensive coaching staff and the players themselves giving

0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 2>that much effort when the offense isn't helping them out

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.880
<v Speaker 2>a ton. So hopefully Mike Elko will have a better

0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.920
<v Speaker 2>offense on the other side of the ball to work

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>with and at Notre Dame and is able to show

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:18.840
<v Speaker 2>his prowess. It's a really good move for the Irish.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:20.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a really good move. They needed to

0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>bring him in. I thought Brian Kelly did a good

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 2>job going out and getting him. So he's the new

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 2>DC at Notre Dame. Steve Sarkeshan is back in the game. Yeah,

0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:34.520
<v Speaker 2>he is the new offensive coordinator for Alabama this after

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.440
<v Speaker 2>Lane Kiffin took the job over at FAU. Sarks An

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:39.120
<v Speaker 2>interesting guy.

0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Dan. You know, Lane Kiffin I think vowed for him

0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and brought him over to Alabama to be part of

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>that staff in some sort of advisory role now as

0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 1>Kiffen leaves Sark takes over. He's obviously qualified to be

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>an offensive coordinator. Did good things, I think on that front,

0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think baggage aside. This is a good chance

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 1>for him to get a new start, and obviously it's

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>a role I think he's certainly qualified to hold.

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 2>He's qualified, and I just I hope for the best

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.560
<v Speaker 2>for him, that he is able to get healthy, stay healthy,

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>maintain health, and other There are stories that were sort

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.600
<v Speaker 2>of going around the internet that suggested otherwise, but I

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 2>hope they're not true, and I hope and I can't

0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 2>speak to this with any sort of authenticity, but we

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 2>hope that a high pressure situation is something that he

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 2>is able to navigate and has the supported Alabama to succeed.

0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>All right. In grad transfer and other transfer news, a

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.320
<v Speaker 1>new Solomon is grad transferring Dan. This is interesting to me.

0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.840
<v Speaker 1>I like the usage of a verb thank you. I

0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:49.640
<v Speaker 1>just grad transf I just made that. Yeah, a new

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Solomon transferring away from Arizona. I have not heard if

0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>there is a favorite to land in new Solomon services.

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I will say that I was underwhelmed by a new

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Solomon in his time at Arizona, he seemed the kind

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.399
<v Speaker 1>of quarterback who might be able to thrive in a

0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:09.760
<v Speaker 1>rich Rod system, and between getting hurt and being inconsistent

0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.840
<v Speaker 1>when he was healthy, I don't know if his services

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:14.960
<v Speaker 1>are going to be in that high of demand around

0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:15.640
<v Speaker 1>college football.

0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 2>When he was healthy, I think he played pretty well.

0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I think he has been hurt for a long time,

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>which is also just it's just a bad break that

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.560
<v Speaker 2>he has just struggled with injuries. I don't know where

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.680
<v Speaker 2>he ends up. I think he is probably. I think

0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>you're underrating him a little bit. I think he's good.

0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.159
<v Speaker 2>I think he can fit, especially Ty. In researching today's

0:17:36.160 --> 0:17:37.960
<v Speaker 2>Bowl preview, I had to do something that I never

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.560
<v Speaker 2>liked to do. I had to look at big ten

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 2>passings to take Oh gosh, so the fact that there

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.440
<v Speaker 2>is a at best pretty good quarterback out there's a

0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 2>pretty impressive thing. There's so many teams with bad quarterbacks

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.439
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know who it is. I looked at

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.199
<v Speaker 2>some of the seniors just across college football that might

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.280
<v Speaker 2>be in the market for a quarterback. I mean, Cal,

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.199
<v Speaker 2>you know they'll lose Davis web this year. Kansas, you

0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>know there can't listen we laugh. Kansas is in the

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.120
<v Speaker 2>Big twelve, which has gone through some changes, and Kansas

0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>themselves they were in a lot of small things. Yeah,

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>they absolutely were. I was looking up like short yarded situations.

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Kansas was very good. They were plucky, they were they

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 2>were doing. They beat Texas, Tye, they beat Texas well.

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, Houston is Kyle Allen, So I don't

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:33.000
<v Speaker 2>think that's a landing spot. I'm looking around college football.

0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:34.960
<v Speaker 2>We already know we know Max Brown's going to pit

0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.680
<v Speaker 2>as a grad transfer. Yep, that came out this week.

0:18:38.280 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 2>You know what, Tye, Baylor, I know they have Zack Smith,

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 2>but that's I think, literally the only quarterback that's going

0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to be on the roster next year. Interesting and especially

0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.560
<v Speaker 2>as they sort of moved to it. I don't think

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 2>completely different, but I would imagine a more sort of

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 2>ground based attack. If we were to look at what

0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Matt Rule did at Temple, I think that might be

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.199
<v Speaker 2>an interesting fit. I think there's available playing time in Waco.

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 2>There is playing time, you know, uh, Texas A and

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 2>m I mean, who is who is in the market

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 2>for Trevor Knight.

0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:12.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:15.239
<v Speaker 2>I think I think you might be surprised at the

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 2>type of suitors at a new Solomon may have.

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.560
<v Speaker 1>I would be stunned if he ended up at a contender.

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:21.919
<v Speaker 2>What about Nebraska?

0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 1>If he goes to Kansas, that's one thing, But I

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's going to.

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Was there anything about about about Riker Fife that that

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 2>got you pumped up for twenty seven? I'm just I

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.879
<v Speaker 2>think it's gonna end up somewhere. What about Colorado? I mean,

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:36.600
<v Speaker 2>there are options.

0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:38.399
<v Speaker 1>You can listen out o school. There are options. I

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:38.679
<v Speaker 1>get you.

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Colorado, Colorado has Stephen Monte.

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying I don't think he's that good.

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.479
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think it's I mean, God, you look at

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:48.359
<v Speaker 2>the names of teams with senior quarterbacks, and there's some

0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 2>there's some bummers out there.

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>All right. Jared Stidham, who's not not a bummer, not

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.679
<v Speaker 1>a bummer, not a grad transfer. He of course was

0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 1>at Baylor. He is transferring to Auburn, which I think

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:02.440
<v Speaker 1>is a fantastic move for Auburn.

0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.679
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic move for Auburn, fantastic move for Sidham. He is

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.080
<v Speaker 2>sort of forgotten because of the transfer and being a

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 2>non factor, but he is excellent. He's a really really

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback, is as true a dual threat as we've

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:21.120
<v Speaker 2>seen recently, accurate, poised. He's not huge, but he can

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 2>move really really well and he should be able to

0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:26.639
<v Speaker 2>step in and immediately And you know, Sean White at

0:20:26.640 --> 0:20:29.680
<v Speaker 2>his best was pretty good and efficient, but Jared Stidham

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:35.119
<v Speaker 2>is He's way better, especially in a conference that moving

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 2>forward they'll be improved quarterback wise, but hasn't gotten particularly

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>good quarterback play recently. I think he has the opportunity

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:42.719
<v Speaker 2>to be pretty special at Auburn.

0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:46.679
<v Speaker 1>He is bigger than Seawan White. He is better in

0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.359
<v Speaker 1>terms of being a true passer and probably a runner

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>as well. So you have to imagine that Gus Malshan

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.639
<v Speaker 1>could find a way to use that skill set pretty effectively.

0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Who are the twenty seventeen SEC West quarterbacks right now?

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Jalen her Hurts, we have Jalen Hurts, Shaye Patterson, we

0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.480
<v Speaker 2>have Shape Patterson, Ole miss very promising text A and

0:21:06.600 --> 0:21:13.280
<v Speaker 2>M unclear unclear, su unclear and clear. I think Mississippi

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 2>SA Nick Fitzgerald. It'll be Nick Fitzgerald, who showed a

0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 2>lot of promise this year on the ground and at

0:21:19.240 --> 0:21:23.960
<v Speaker 2>times through the air. Arkansas Alan again, Alan, he's just

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 2>one name for us.

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Just Alan. Yeah, like Pele.

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's nothing. It's nothing that Jared's Didham can't immediately

0:21:31.720 --> 0:21:32.440
<v Speaker 2>overcome and be.

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:34.160
<v Speaker 1>The best of that group. I agree.

0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And that's and that's saying a lot because Jalen

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Hurts is very good.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Anything else we got, any other news? We could talk

0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>about some of the game results. Actually, if you want to.

0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, let's let's quickly run through the first five bowl game.

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>First five Bowl games. You had New Mexico twenty three

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 1>to twenty over UTSA, a better game than I think

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot expected. Utsa scored fourteen in the fourth quarter

0:21:57.800 --> 0:21:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to make this one a little bit closer.

0:21:59.040 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>But you're just gonna gloss over all the Blake Shelton

0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 2>commercials for Gilda. You're just gonna gloss over that. Okay.

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>They were numerous, they were.

0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:12.400
<v Speaker 2>They happened often. New Mexo actually played some really good

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 2>defense too, which was kind of a shock.

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>San Diego State wins thirty four to ten over Houston.

0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>As we predicted, Houston didn't show up for this game.

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Houston, they were pretty good defensively. San Diego State

0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't move the ball in any like the scoring thirty

0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 2>four points, you'd think San Diego State was jumping all

0:22:31.840 --> 0:22:35.000
<v Speaker 2>over Houston. Greg went threw four picks. It was the

0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:37.840
<v Speaker 2>type of game for Greg Ward. Where by like the

0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:39.919
<v Speaker 2>middle of the third quarter, I think it was it

0:22:39.920 --> 0:22:42.399
<v Speaker 2>was Jesse Palmer and Brent doing this game. They just

0:22:42.440 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>started talking about what position he might play in the NFL,

0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:49.560
<v Speaker 2>because even though he had an okay season and was

0:22:49.680 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 2>just hurt throughout the all of twenty sixteen, it was

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:55.399
<v Speaker 2>San Diego State led the country in interceptions. They I

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:57.760
<v Speaker 2>think they picked him four times. Really nice way to

0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:00.399
<v Speaker 2>finish the season for San Diego State. And I believe

0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>don Alle Pumphrey set the all time NCAA rushing yardage record,

0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 2>which is sort of having an asterisk because postseason games

0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 2>didn't count for Ron Dame, But still an amazing career

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:12.359
<v Speaker 2>for Donald.

0:23:12.400 --> 0:23:18.320
<v Speaker 1>His ability to change direction very quickly, yes, is downright amazing. Yeah,

0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got moves, so good for them. That was a

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>nice win. Twenty four pointer for San Diego State. APP

0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:26.920
<v Speaker 1>State one thirty one, eleven and three San Diego State

0:23:26.960 --> 0:23:29.280
<v Speaker 1>eleven and three, San Diego State ten and three APPS State.

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Now after a thirty one to twenty eight win over Toledo.

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.440
<v Speaker 1>This is a good game, back and forth game. They

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:37.439
<v Speaker 1>wanted on a late field goal, like a thirty nine

0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 1>yarder something like that. Had two hundred and what seventy

0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking it up here, two hundred and ninety seven

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 1>yards on the ground for app State. We knew they

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>were going to try and rush the ball, and they

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:52.600
<v Speaker 1>held down Logan woodside as best they could. But a

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.120
<v Speaker 1>good game. And I believe we both had app State

0:23:55.119 --> 0:23:55.879
<v Speaker 1>in this one, right.

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.280
<v Speaker 2>We both had app State. So they have now won

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:03.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty one games in two years and are just dying

0:24:03.200 --> 0:24:04.040
<v Speaker 2>for your respect.

0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Tie. I respect them, I don't respect them as much

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as you do. You haven't been like the Big Ten.

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.600
<v Speaker 2>But listen, what has app State done against the Big

0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Ten these past ten years?

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:17.280
<v Speaker 1>App State would beat Rutgers, they'd give Maryland a game.

0:24:17.640 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>They already beat Michigan at Michigan well, okay in two

0:24:21.480 --> 0:24:23.440
<v Speaker 2>thousand and seven. But yes, the bottom of the Big

0:24:23.480 --> 0:24:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Ten is garbage.

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Tie, all right? They won Southern miss wins twenty eight

0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to twenty one over Louisiana Lafayette.

0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Good a good career for Nick Mullins. By the way,

0:24:35.440 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 2>for Southern miss a bruiser. Yeah, really nice, nice career.

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I think about a three and a half four year

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>starter for the Eagles and just very he's not a

0:24:45.359 --> 0:24:45.840
<v Speaker 2>big dude.

0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Really good career there. And finally Arkansas State takes it

0:24:50.920 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 1>to UCF thirty one thirteen. A success story for UCF

0:24:55.359 --> 0:24:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to get to a bowl game. I thought maybe they'd

0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:01.159
<v Speaker 1>look better playing a cinch a home game here, but

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Arkansas State jumped on him early. They were of seventeen

0:25:04.840 --> 0:25:06.960
<v Speaker 1>to nothing after the first quarter and then they sort

0:25:07.000 --> 0:25:07.960
<v Speaker 1>of cruised to victory.

0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:13.240
<v Speaker 2>The d analytics loved Arkansas State in this game. Great defense,

0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>really nice here for Blake Anderson. It was Kendall Sanders

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:18.879
<v Speaker 2>who had a nice day through the air, caught a

0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:21.399
<v Speaker 2>bunch and I looked this up.

0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe UCF.

0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:27.200
<v Speaker 2>First of all, the third down numbers in this game.

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 2>These two teams to go six of thirty five on

0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 2>third down not great. And UCF rushed Forero point four

0:25:38.119 --> 0:25:41.840
<v Speaker 2>yards a carry, which is what a little less than

0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:45.840
<v Speaker 2>a foot and a half. I also looked this up

0:25:45.920 --> 0:25:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Tie because I wanted to see like a foot and

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:50.879
<v Speaker 2>a half, so we're talking about eighteen twenty inches.

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>It's roughly what they were rushing for.

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:57.159
<v Speaker 2>That is the size of a pretty average lake trout,

0:25:59.160 --> 0:26:01.280
<v Speaker 2>So that's that's what you see f ran for They

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:05.880
<v Speaker 2>ran for the length of an average fish. So there's that.

0:26:06.359 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 1>All right. We got to pay the bills here and

0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 1>then we're going to go through another wave of bowl games. Dan,

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:14.640
<v Speaker 1>have you ever heard of Texture?

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I have heard of Texture because I pay attention to you.

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Gotta check Texture out if you haven't yet. If you

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:23.520
<v Speaker 1>like to read, we know we got a lot of

0:26:23.920 --> 0:26:28.440
<v Speaker 1>nerdy college football types that listen to this show. Sometimes

0:26:28.560 --> 0:26:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you run out of podcast to listen to. My hunch

0:26:31.200 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 1>is that we're not the only show you listen to

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're currently listening to us now. But this time

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of year, everyone's doing traveling, and sometimes time of year

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>is it ty it's the holiday season, Dan, it's a

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:48.600
<v Speaker 1>December to remember here on the solid Burbo. Yeah, but

0:26:48.680 --> 0:26:50.400
<v Speaker 1>there's a pretty good chance eventually you're going to run

0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:52.760
<v Speaker 1>out of podcast because not everyone's as dumb as we

0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:56.679
<v Speaker 1>are and continues publishing all throughout the holiday season. So

0:26:57.480 --> 0:27:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I would suggest you try out Texture because basically what

0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>they do is they digitize over two hundred magazines. All right,

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So whatever magazine it is that you're into, I don't know, Sports, Illustrated, Forbes,

0:27:12.200 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, People, Fast Company. There are a

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:21.399
<v Speaker 1>zillion magazines that you can cram into the Texture app.

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:26.560
<v Speaker 1>So what they do is they go beyond just digitizing

0:27:26.600 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 1>an article. They've made it easy to find and enjoy

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>all the articles you want to read with daily recommendations,

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>exclusive interactive features. They give you videos, all sorts of

0:27:38.200 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>cool knickknacks that you aren't going to get if you

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 1>just pick up a magazine try and stuff it in

0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the suitcase. It is extremely searchable, I speak from experience.

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:49.400
<v Speaker 1>You can mark what you like, you check out back issues,

0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:53.520

0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 1>this stuff for you to help give you a better

0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.240
<v Speaker 1>idea of what it is they think someone like you

0:27:59.040 --> 0:28:02.680
<v Speaker 1>might want to read. Also, it helps that it's digitized.

0:28:03.480 --> 0:28:05.280

<v Speaker 1>so check it out.

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the middle of reading thanks to our pale

0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Roshmarkazi tweeting it like a very old GQ feature. It's

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 2>a very long GQ feature about Frank's Natra. Oh cool,

0:28:54.840 --> 0:28:57.760
<v Speaker 2>It's wonderful and it just points like it just points

0:28:57.800 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 2>to fact long magazine features. You're on a long plane,

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:03.040
<v Speaker 2>you're on a long train, car trip. Just get after

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:04.600
<v Speaker 2>it and sort of dive into that world.

0:29:04.680 --> 0:29:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I love it. You know, if you met Frank Sinatra

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>in person, his voice would sound very different from the

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:14.560
<v Speaker 1>voice you hear when he sings He's He's dead tie. Well, yeah,

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that, but I'm saying if he were to

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:20.440
<v Speaker 1>show up like the ghost of La Guardia in Ghostbusters

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:22.440
<v Speaker 1>and talk to you in the dead of night, he

0:29:22.480 --> 0:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>would sound differently because he ran his voice through a

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 1>number of different audio compressors and whatnot. So instance, is

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that true. It's very true. A little inside baseball here

0:29:31.280 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>from the audio world. I did not know that, all right.

0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, the week, so look, we did okay, so far,

0:29:43.640 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 1>so far, so good, so far, so good. I mentioned

0:29:47.440 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>at the top the group's doing well. People are writing

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>in they like the advice. So far you went perfect

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.160
<v Speaker 1>by for five. I went four out of five, so

0:29:58.160 --> 0:30:00.640
<v Speaker 1>so far okay. Kind of it sounds like we know

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.200
<v Speaker 1>what we're talking about. This is where the rubber really

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 1>starts to meet the road, though, because some of those

0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>early games that we discussed are a lot of teams

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that are you playing more music?

0:30:12.800 --> 0:30:14.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, ty, I want to keep the December to remember,

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 2>going fair enough, okay, continue.

0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 1>The earlier games are are kind of the tougher ones,

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:26.040
<v Speaker 1>because truth be told, these aren't the teams that most

0:30:26.080 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 1>people follow with any regularity. There's a lot less information

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.440
<v Speaker 1>out there on those teams. Now we start getting into

0:30:32.600 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 1>teams that more people know. You know, we're going to

0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.800
<v Speaker 1>start off here with the Military Bowl and Temple Wake Forest.

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:41.160
<v Speaker 1>You know the deal on Temple. You know a lot

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 1>about Wake Forest, We've been talking about these teams all year,

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>so I think this is going to make it a

0:30:45.440 --> 0:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>little bit tougher for us to pick the winner of

0:30:47.920 --> 0:30:51.360
<v Speaker 1>some of these games, and also justifies why you try

0:30:51.360 --> 0:30:53.840
<v Speaker 1>to make your hay early in the conference pool. You

0:30:54.040 --> 0:30:56.880
<v Speaker 1>put your points all the way at the top. All right, Tuesday,

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 1>December twenty seventh, That three, three thirty pm. Excuse me?

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Temple is ten and three. They are a thirteen point

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>favorite over wake Forest. They are digging out from the

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Wakey League scandal. Temple ten and three, wake Forest six

0:31:14.000 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 1>and six. Dan, So I'm gonna say this, according to

0:31:17.600 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 1>my formula, this is a pretty big strike against taking

0:31:20.600 --> 0:31:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Temple here.

0:31:21.960 --> 0:31:27.959
<v Speaker 2>Wait, can I call it something please? Statistics. I'm a

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:28.960
<v Speaker 2>very bad person.

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>TI, Temple's a thirteen point favorite. That was awful. Whatever

0:31:32.600 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>that was. Yeah, Matt Rule left for Baylor, and you

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.040
<v Speaker 1>can say what you want about that being a weird

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:43.560
<v Speaker 1>fit and we have, but Temple now is without their

0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>vibrant leader, and anytime that happens, we saw it with Houston.

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm always a little a little tentative, right, a little

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>tentative to jump in bed with that team. M hm.

0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I am reassured a bit though, by how Temple closed

0:31:58.600 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>out at season in just destroying Navy, That to me

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>gives me an indication that they're still playing hard down

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the stretch. And given the fact that this is a

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:11.640
<v Speaker 1>senior leaden team, I find it hard to believe that

0:32:11.640 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 1>they're just going to take this game off. Plus it's

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:20.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty close to home in Annapolis. Wake Forest is, you know,

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 1>a defensive minded team. I would say that, provided Temple

0:32:25.280 --> 0:32:29.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't pack it in. I feel pretty good about Wake

0:32:29.920 --> 0:32:32.600
<v Speaker 1>not having much success on offense.

0:32:33.320 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 2>As do I I like Temple a lot here. They

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:37.640
<v Speaker 2>had a good balanced offense all year. Raikwell Armstead was

0:32:37.640 --> 0:32:40.479
<v Speaker 2>a legitimately very good running back at a huge game

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.880
<v Speaker 2>versus USF which arguably their biggest toughest game of the season.

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.360
<v Speaker 2>And Temple clearly had the best defense in the American

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And you know, it's losing Matt Rule and some coaches

0:32:51.040 --> 0:32:53.600
<v Speaker 2>to Baylor, whatever it hurts. And by the way, Matt

0:32:53.680 --> 0:32:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Ruhle hired I think a significant high school coach. Yeah,

0:32:57.000 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 2>two of them two in Texas a couple of them

0:32:59.200 --> 0:33:02.440
<v Speaker 2>so yet and after the Texas recruiting scene in a

0:33:02.480 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 2>familiar way, I would say early and Temple has Hassan.

0:33:08.920 --> 0:33:13.800
<v Speaker 2>It's Hassan Reddick, and he is legitimate, legitimate, amazing defensive

0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 2>star and will be an NFL player and probably a

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:20.680
<v Speaker 2>significant one. So he will terrorize Wake Forest and their offense,

0:33:20.880 --> 0:33:25.880
<v Speaker 2>which is awful. Wake Forest offense is particularly bad, and

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Wake's defense was very good, especially versus the past. And

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:30.360
<v Speaker 2>they have a star of their own in Mark hell Lee.

0:33:30.440 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Markwelle just a destructive force as well. So two of

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 2>the best defensive players may be unhralded in the country,

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:39.960
<v Speaker 2>and Hassan Redick and Mark well Lee. I have twenty

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:41.920
<v Speaker 2>four to ten Temple as my final so I have

0:33:41.960 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>them covering.

0:33:42.560 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 1>But barely. I don't have a final score prediction. I

0:33:45.440 --> 0:33:48.200
<v Speaker 1>don't even have and against the spread prediction. I do

0:33:48.280 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 1>have Temple winning, though with twenty five confidence points. I

0:33:51.400 --> 0:33:54.800
<v Speaker 1>agree with you. I think the Temple front's really good,

0:33:55.280 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 1>really tough. I think they're going to bully wakes front,

0:33:57.600 --> 0:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think they win this one at the point

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>of attack. I'm not sure how Wake's moving the football here. Yeah,

0:34:02.440 --> 0:34:04.920
<v Speaker 1>they might score ten points, but Temple's got a really

0:34:04.960 --> 0:34:09.400
<v Speaker 1>good defense. They're very fundamentally sound. They're not sexy at

0:34:09.440 --> 0:34:13.239
<v Speaker 1>any position, but they're always really well prepared, at least

0:34:13.239 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 1>they were under Matt rule. I would expect that to

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:19.880
<v Speaker 1>continue now in just one game here against Wake, I

0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:21.640
<v Speaker 1>think they can pull this one off. So I'm pretty

0:34:21.640 --> 0:34:26.719
<v Speaker 1>confident in Temple. I got twenty five confidence points. All right, sure, Dan,

0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:28.799
<v Speaker 1>do you have the gifts for the Military Bowl in

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:29.200
<v Speaker 1>front of you?

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 2>Three hundred dollars Microsoft gift card. I don't know what

0:34:32.640 --> 0:34:35.960
<v Speaker 2>you spend that on. Apparently people like, what is it?

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:36.520
<v Speaker 2>The surface?

0:34:37.200 --> 0:34:38.879
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, surface pro Yeah.

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 2>People like that. I think, yeah, no know, an under

0:34:41.440 --> 0:34:44.280
<v Speaker 2>armour backpack and beanie and headphones. So they're not clear

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:48.360
<v Speaker 2>about it. And it's presented by Northrop Grumman. So I

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 2>assume everybody is getting what an RPG.

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Of something like that. Yeah, but yeah, three hundred dollars.

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:57.959
<v Speaker 1>What is available from Microsoft? What does Microsoft sell?

0:34:58.239 --> 0:34:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Xbox?

0:34:58.680 --> 0:34:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Idea, get an expot that's a great idea. Yeah, grab

0:35:01.200 --> 0:35:02.240
<v Speaker 2>an Xbox.

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Seems like a good gift.

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Yeah, that's a good ball.

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the National Funding Holiday Bowl. Dan Yes

0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:12.520
<v Speaker 1>talked about this one a little bit in our news section.

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:15.480
<v Speaker 1>This one's also on Tuesday. It's later on in the

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:18.840
<v Speaker 1>evening at seven pm. It's on ESPN and Washington State

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>at least of time of I guess jotting these notes

0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.080
<v Speaker 1>down was a six and a half point favorite. I

0:35:26.120 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know if that's changed at all. They will be

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:32.719
<v Speaker 1>playing Minnesota, we know that now, but there are a

0:35:32.760 --> 0:35:36.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of distractions here. We talked about it at the top.

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:40.359
<v Speaker 1>That's a huge strike against Minnesota here. When I took

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:44.000
<v Speaker 1>my notes, I was all in on Wazoo for eleven

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 1>confidence points. I am not going to change that because,

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.759
<v Speaker 1>quite honestly, the ESPN system mixes it up a bit

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:52.399
<v Speaker 1>if you go in there and start changing stuff around.

0:35:52.440 --> 0:35:55.400
<v Speaker 1>So I'm going to leave it as is. Typically, this

0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:58.799
<v Speaker 1>is a fun game, so maybe maybe it will confute.

0:35:59.160 --> 0:36:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Typically there's a fun game, so maybe the outcome will

0:36:02.200 --> 0:36:04.560
<v Speaker 1>be a bit confusing. I don't know. I just feel

0:36:04.560 --> 0:36:08.799
<v Speaker 1>like there's so much going against Minnesota with these added distractions.

0:36:09.239 --> 0:36:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington State was a good team despite not closing out

0:36:12.560 --> 0:36:15.359
<v Speaker 1>the season as strongly as they would have hoped. It

0:36:15.400 --> 0:36:17.480
<v Speaker 1>feels to me like there'd be a ton of reasons

0:36:17.480 --> 0:36:20.399
<v Speaker 1>to go Washington State here to not only win and cover.

0:36:20.520 --> 0:36:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So I'll say Wazoo, I'm gonna keep it at eleven

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:25.760
<v Speaker 1>confidence points. But if I could make it more without

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:27.360
<v Speaker 1>screwing my whole thing up, I would.

0:36:27.239 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 2>Just to clarify, we hope. And as it relates to

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:35.240
<v Speaker 2>distractions that nothing bad happened, like that's much more important

0:36:35.280 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 2>than the prospect of.

0:36:36.080 --> 0:36:38.279
<v Speaker 1>The holod well, I think that that should go without saying.

0:36:38.320 --> 0:36:42.840
<v Speaker 2>It does go without saying. But yes, and god, Minnesota

0:36:42.960 --> 0:36:48.320
<v Speaker 2>just completely football wise, their schedule this year was such

0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:50.880
<v Speaker 2>trash ti They were I think the only team in

0:36:50.920 --> 0:36:53.880
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten lucky enough they got four of the five, Like,

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:55.799
<v Speaker 2>if you were lucky enough to get five of the five,

0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:59.080
<v Speaker 2>that would have been a miracle. But they got marilynd Rutgers, Illinois,

0:36:59.120 --> 0:37:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and Purdue this year. It's somehow all worked out and

0:37:03.080 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 2>they missed Minnesota missed, I believe, Michigan and Ohio State,

0:37:07.280 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 2>yes they did. They have Penn State they lost. That

0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:12.680
<v Speaker 2>was an overtime early on in the season. Minnesota's schedule

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 2>was the equivalent of being in socks on a freshly

0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:21.480
<v Speaker 2>laminated and waxed wooden floor where you just sort of glide. Yeah,

0:37:21.600 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 2>you just They just sort of glided through their Big

0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Ten slate of nothing quarterbacks. So I just don't like

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.759
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota all that much in terms of being tested and

0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:34.840
<v Speaker 2>prepared for a good Wazoo team. Wazoo's offense was efficient,

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:37.480
<v Speaker 2>They kept charging on, they marched down the field consistently.

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:40.719
<v Speaker 2>They were very good against bigger plays, which Minnesota doesn't

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:43.520
<v Speaker 2>generate anyway. Their defense is fine, and when you have

0:37:43.520 --> 0:37:47.960
<v Speaker 2>an offense that prolific as Wazoo does, that's totally good enough.

0:37:48.040 --> 0:37:50.960
<v Speaker 2>That is, and considering where Wazoo's defense used to be,

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it's a big success story what they've done defensively with

0:37:53.719 --> 0:37:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Alex Grinch. Minnesota's defense was pretty good, but the competition

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.560
<v Speaker 2>was was pretty low. Just it's hard toge. I have

0:38:00.600 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty to seventeen Wazoo.

0:38:02.360 --> 0:38:05.319
<v Speaker 1>I think Wazoo is good enough on defense to keep

0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota pretty one dimensional here. Yes, and I'm assuming that

0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota wants to play in this game, they come out

0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:15.919
<v Speaker 1>fired up. I think the way to beat Wazoo would

0:38:15.920 --> 0:38:18.600
<v Speaker 1>be through the air, and Mitch Leidner hasn't done that

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>all year. It's just not what he's good at. So

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a huge matchup disadvantage that goes against

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the Golden Gophers here. I will go Washington State to

0:38:28.440 --> 0:38:32.000
<v Speaker 1>win and cover and again I feel way more confident

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:35.120
<v Speaker 1>about it than I originally did when I jotted this down.

0:38:35.160 --> 0:38:36.520
<v Speaker 1>So give me Wazoo to win and cover.

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Mike Leach and those Cougar teams though have always they've

0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:43.160
<v Speaker 2>never been able to pull away from teams, perhaps lesser

0:38:43.200 --> 0:38:45.319
<v Speaker 2>teams in Bowl games. And last year obviously the weather

0:38:45.400 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 2>was crazy in the Sun Bowl. But I'm gonna keep

0:38:48.160 --> 0:38:49.680
<v Speaker 2>a track of I guess, but I like Wazoo.

0:38:49.680 --> 0:38:51.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember ten years ago in the Insight Bowl

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:53.320
<v Speaker 1>when Mike Leach played Minnesota.

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:56.560
<v Speaker 2>You might have to refresh my memory.

0:38:56.600 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 1>They were trailing thirty five to seven at half and

0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:01.960
<v Speaker 1>they came back in one.

0:39:02.440 --> 0:39:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Players in this game will be receiving a trip to

0:39:04.680 --> 0:39:07.720
<v Speaker 2>a gift suite, a fossil watch and a new Era cap.

0:39:07.960 --> 0:39:10.320
<v Speaker 2>And we've had a couple of people email us asking

0:39:10.360 --> 0:39:12.799
<v Speaker 2>what a gift suite is, and I was pretty sure

0:39:12.840 --> 0:39:15.319
<v Speaker 2>I knew what it was, but I verified. So if

0:39:15.320 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 2>you're wondering when we say gift suite, with these bold

0:39:18.200 --> 0:39:22.200
<v Speaker 2>gift packages whatever, there is a room set up somewhere,

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you know what a media hotel wherever it is in

0:39:25.520 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 2>which players can come and there are products everywhere, and

0:39:29.080 --> 0:39:31.839
<v Speaker 2>you are allotted a certain number of points. So let's

0:39:31.840 --> 0:39:34.839
<v Speaker 2>say you're given ten points. I think different products are

0:39:34.880 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 2>given a different value points wise, So like if you're

0:39:38.239 --> 0:39:40.200
<v Speaker 2>given ten points, you can get a bike for eight

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 2>points and headphones for two points. You can just sort

0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 2>of figure out what you want to get from an

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 2>array of products, which is pretty cool in.

0:39:48.120 --> 0:39:51.840
<v Speaker 1>The new age of d analytics. Yes, and certainly with

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the degree of nerdiness that I bring to the show,

0:39:55.719 --> 0:39:58.040
<v Speaker 1>you and I would totally overthink that points process.

0:39:58.560 --> 0:39:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh absolutely we would.

0:40:00.239 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 1>We'd be going for efficiency. What can we get the

0:40:03.120 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 1>most bang for our points from in neither one?

0:40:07.680 --> 0:40:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Where is their value? How much will you use at

0:40:09.960 --> 0:40:11.840
<v Speaker 2>We would overthink that and screw it up.

0:40:11.880 --> 0:40:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Yep. Absolutely. The Motel six Cactus Bowl get hyped. You

0:40:17.440 --> 0:40:20.520
<v Speaker 1>have stayed a Motel six, Of course I have. There's

0:40:20.560 --> 0:40:23.799
<v Speaker 1>a Motel six in State College, PA that I'm not

0:40:23.880 --> 0:40:27.920
<v Speaker 1>kidding has a toilet that runs like a jet engine.

0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:31.080
<v Speaker 2>One specific toilet or all of their toilets.

0:40:31.200 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine it's all of them, unless it was

0:40:33.239 --> 0:40:35.640
<v Speaker 1>one specific room. But I stayed in one. It was

0:40:35.680 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the loudest and most intense toilet I've ever witnessed.

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.720
<v Speaker 2>One of the great things about traveling for college football

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:46.880
<v Speaker 2>is you develop an ability to make peace and or

0:40:47.000 --> 0:40:50.600
<v Speaker 2>defend a decision to stay in a particularly bad motel

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 2>or hotel and it's like thirty miles away from town.

0:40:54.200 --> 0:40:56.399
<v Speaker 2>And not to say Motel sixes are bad, they're totally fine.

0:40:56.960 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I ride with Best Western if I'm going to stay

0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:01.759
<v Speaker 2>in a motel if, well, but that's that's just made.

0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:05.320
<v Speaker 2>But like you see the advertising, like, hey they have showtime. Everybody,

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:13.640
<v Speaker 2>it's pretty good they have showtime. So yeah, Motel six

0:41:13.680 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 2>is sponsoring the Cactus Ball.

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:20.000
<v Speaker 1>This one's also on Tuesday evening ten fifteen on ESPN

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:23.520
<v Speaker 1>between Boise State. Boise went ten and two this season,

0:41:24.440 --> 0:41:26.879
<v Speaker 1>and they are like a seven, seven and a half

0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:30.279
<v Speaker 1>point favorite over the Baylor Bears. Baylor started out six

0:41:30.320 --> 0:41:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and oh, ended up oh and six. They finished the

0:41:32.920 --> 0:41:36.440
<v Speaker 1>year six and six. So this I think is another

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>test of my theory. The theory is that motivation, you know,

0:41:40.719 --> 0:41:44.600
<v Speaker 1>means something during bowl season. This is a pretty good

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:49.400
<v Speaker 1>test case. Baylor, as I just mentioned, started hot, finished cold.

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Every Baylor reporter, every fan that I've talked to, they've

0:41:53.480 --> 0:41:56.359
<v Speaker 1>all told me the same story. The team pretty much

0:41:56.360 --> 0:41:59.200
<v Speaker 1>mailed it in mm hmm. On top of that, you've

0:41:59.200 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 1>got a current coach whose term is set to expire.

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>All the wheels are in motion for them to move

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:08.200
<v Speaker 1>on to the Matt Rule era. The only thing standing

0:42:08.239 --> 0:42:12.200
<v Speaker 1>in their way is this game, and the game itself

0:42:12.280 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is completely meaningless, doesn't mean anything. It's a Cactus Bowl,

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 1>it's in Tempe, it's a Chase Field, it's a nice

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>place to go. Otherwise, there's really no reason for Baylor

0:42:21.520 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 1>to care about this football game. They're moving on one

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 1>way or the other. So with that in mind, I

0:42:27.600 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 1>feel very confident in Boise State here and like thirty

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:32.160
<v Speaker 1>confidence points.

0:42:32.280 --> 0:42:34.479
<v Speaker 2>I think that's why it's never a great sign when

0:42:34.600 --> 0:42:37.399
<v Speaker 2>a team or group of players are a coach needs

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to clarify, oh, yes, we.

0:42:39.000 --> 0:42:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Would like to go to a bowl, thank you.

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 2>That's my point. It's it's never a good sign.

0:42:44.280 --> 0:42:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And Boise, you know, for their part, they sort of

0:42:46.360 --> 0:42:49.480
<v Speaker 1>limped a bit to the finish, true, but across the

0:42:49.480 --> 0:42:53.640
<v Speaker 1>board there's still pretty rock solid. The efficiency metrics love

0:42:54.520 --> 0:42:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Boise and you've got a strong contingent of seniors on

0:42:57.480 --> 0:43:00.000
<v Speaker 1>their team too. I got to believe they want to

0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.719
<v Speaker 1>go out in style. So gimme, gimme Boyse here to

0:43:02.760 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 1>win cover and for like thirty confidence points.

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Boise, You're right. They were efficient scoring the ball. They

0:43:09.719 --> 0:43:11.920
<v Speaker 2>struggled a little bit on the ground with consistency, but

0:43:12.040 --> 0:43:15.839
<v Speaker 2>jere Jeremy McNichols was a terrific all purpose weapon. Two

0:43:15.880 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 2>really good wide receivers, and Thomas Spurwack and Sie Druk Wilson.

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:22.040
<v Speaker 2>I know it's probably Cedric, but I like sing Zu Druck.

0:43:23.600 --> 0:43:25.799
<v Speaker 2>When they were bad on third down, that's when they

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:28.919
<v Speaker 2>got into trouble. When they were unable to keep drives going,

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.120
<v Speaker 2>that's when they lost or almost lost. I don't think

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Baylor's defense is good enough to force trouble for Boise

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:37.720
<v Speaker 2>States offense. Boise's defense, although took a step back against

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:41.480
<v Speaker 2>the run, very good against the past. Two really good

0:43:41.560 --> 0:43:43.920
<v Speaker 2>defensive linemen and Sam mc kiskell, Sam mc caskell and

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:47.399
<v Speaker 2>David Moa. As we've seen, Poise just developed really good

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:49.960
<v Speaker 2>defensive players year in and year out, and Baylor was pretty

0:43:50.000 --> 0:43:53.360
<v Speaker 2>much average in everything that they did. Zack Smith, freshman quarterback,

0:43:53.600 --> 0:43:55.480
<v Speaker 2>taking the place of Seth Russell when he got hurt.

0:43:55.560 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 2>He had his moments, but was a freshman Baylor's defense.

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:02.600
<v Speaker 2>They stop some bigger plays, but they gave up a

0:44:02.640 --> 0:44:04.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of points. I like boys here thirty four to twenty.

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:06.600
<v Speaker 1>What's the gift situation? Here?

0:44:07.040 --> 0:44:10.040
<v Speaker 2>The gift situation? Excuse me? At the Cactus Bowl is

0:44:10.040 --> 0:44:13.440
<v Speaker 2>a gift? Sweet visit and oh Gio Baha seventy backpack.

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I've heard wonderful things about the Baja seventy. A fossil watch,

0:44:17.480 --> 0:44:22.160
<v Speaker 2>and a mixer bottle. I don't know exactly what that is.

0:44:22.840 --> 0:44:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Mixer bottle?

0:44:24.520 --> 0:44:26.799
<v Speaker 2>What is a mixer? There's no brand here, so it's

0:44:26.840 --> 0:44:29.320
<v Speaker 2>hard to look up. So when we google mixer bottle

0:44:29.400 --> 0:44:34.840
<v Speaker 2>for like a protein shake or something, I would assume. So, yeah,

0:44:34.920 --> 0:44:37.200
<v Speaker 2>like it's something that you can. Yeah, it looks like

0:44:37.239 --> 0:44:39.520
<v Speaker 2>it's a body building thing, which if you've seen a

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:43.239
<v Speaker 2>picture of tie in me. Yeah, that's why we're unfamiliar

0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:44.440
<v Speaker 2>with mixer bottles.

0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I guess.

0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:49.000
<v Speaker 2>It's you can you can put a bunch of stuff

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:50.200
<v Speaker 2>into a bottle and shake it up.

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:53.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, Where are we going next here?

0:44:53.560 --> 0:44:57.560
<v Speaker 2>New Era pin Strike Bowl? No, not this bowl? Yeah, baby,

0:44:57.600 --> 0:44:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I hate this bowl. There's actually gonna be good weather

0:44:59.480 --> 0:45:00.400
<v Speaker 2>in New York Wednesday.

0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I have a New Era pinch Stripe Bowl hat. Thanks

0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to you, Pinstripe Bowl Champions.

0:45:05.160 --> 0:45:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Hat Pinstripe Bowl Champions.

0:45:08.360 --> 0:45:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday, December twenty eighth, two pm on ESPN. They play

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it in Yankee Stadium, which is a cool venue. I

0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:19.240
<v Speaker 1>gotta say, I've seen a football game in Yankee Stadium's

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:23.719
<v Speaker 1>cool venue. It's between Pitt and Northwestern Pit eight and four,

0:45:23.840 --> 0:45:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern six and six. Pits about a five and a

0:45:26.560 --> 0:45:30.480
<v Speaker 1>half point favorite. So look, I was looking at this

0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:33.200
<v Speaker 1>one when it did my studying earlier in the week.

0:45:34.160 --> 0:45:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I could see this game going one hundred different directions.

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.719
<v Speaker 1>But if you look at both teams, talk about a

0:45:41.800 --> 0:45:45.400
<v Speaker 1>contrast in resumes here. Yes, Pit beat Penn State and

0:45:45.440 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Clemson this season. Clearly they already have more quality wins,

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:54.200
<v Speaker 1>but they played some tough competition. Northwestern, Dan, what's the

0:45:54.239 --> 0:45:55.759
<v Speaker 1>best he can say about Northwestern?

0:45:55.800 --> 0:45:59.800
<v Speaker 2>They've got a really good, unpronounceable pass rusher in a

0:45:59.840 --> 0:46:05.600
<v Speaker 2>f Eddio Dinegbo'. That's the thing. No, Austin Carr was

0:46:05.840 --> 0:46:07.719
<v Speaker 2>Austin Carr is going to be like a fourth round

0:46:07.760 --> 0:46:11.319
<v Speaker 2>draft pick and we'll catch like twelve hundred yards worth

0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:11.719
<v Speaker 2>every year.

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But in terms of their resume, Dan, right, I'm not

0:46:15.880 --> 0:46:19.799
<v Speaker 1>talking players in terms of resume. They lost by one

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.120
<v Speaker 1>to Western Michigan and buy three to Ohio State. That's

0:46:22.200 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 1>the best I can do. Want to beat Michigan State,

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:27.520
<v Speaker 1>who was a bad team. They beat Duke, who beat

0:46:27.560 --> 0:46:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame. They beat Iowa, who beat Michigan. A lot

0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:35.720
<v Speaker 1>of transitive property going on here, but I'll big listen.

0:46:35.840 --> 0:46:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Northwestern Math school transitive wins. Okay, we can count it.

0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:45.239
<v Speaker 1>And Northwestern held pretty tough with Illinois State, but we

0:46:45.280 --> 0:46:49.560
<v Speaker 1>lost by two. So look, here is where we differentiate

0:46:49.640 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 1>between a confidence pool where we're picking straight up winners

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:58.120
<v Speaker 1>and normally during the season, like we go against the spread.

0:46:59.040 --> 0:47:01.839
<v Speaker 1>I think I put thirty five points on Northwestern plus

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 1>five and a half here, Okay, because the thing that

0:47:04.640 --> 0:47:07.239
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm most confident in, I'm with you there

0:47:07.239 --> 0:47:08.880
<v Speaker 1>by the way is right, is that this is going

0:47:08.920 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 1>to be a three point game one way or the other.

0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Is a tight game. So if I could do something

0:47:14.360 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 1>like that, I would put a thousand points on just

0:47:18.200 --> 0:47:20.879
<v Speaker 1>being a three point win one way or the other.

0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:23.839
<v Speaker 1>But if I have to pick a straight up winner,

0:47:23.880 --> 0:47:26.319
<v Speaker 1>I think it's pit. I think it's pit. I'm not

0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:30.879
<v Speaker 1>super confident, thirteen points confident, But I think they close

0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:34.040
<v Speaker 1>out their season pretty well, three straight wins over Clemson, Duke,

0:47:34.040 --> 0:47:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and Syracuse. On offense, they look good in all three

0:47:37.600 --> 0:47:39.720
<v Speaker 1>of those games. The Syracuse game got a little loose

0:47:40.560 --> 0:47:45.120
<v Speaker 1>loose defensively, but they've got momentum, and it's James Conner's

0:47:45.160 --> 0:47:48.520
<v Speaker 1>final game before he goes the NFL, so I'm thinking,

0:47:48.560 --> 0:47:51.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking this is a pretty nice spot for Pitt

0:47:51.280 --> 0:47:55.000
<v Speaker 1>here to continue the trend, continue building and pushing forward.

0:47:55.719 --> 0:48:00.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm not super excited about that selection, but I am

0:48:00.800 --> 0:48:02.480
<v Speaker 1>forced to pick one, so I'm gonna say Pit like

0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:03.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty four to thirty one.

0:48:04.440 --> 0:48:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me tell you something, Ty, if you like open receivers,

0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the Pinstripe Bowl is for you because these two pass

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:16.840
<v Speaker 2>defenses are trash. So Pit's gonna be without Matt Canada,

0:48:16.880 --> 0:48:19.399
<v Speaker 2>who is the new LSU offensive coordinator. We didn't mention

0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:20.960
<v Speaker 2>that at the top, but I think a really nice

0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:23.880
<v Speaker 2>higher although I would argue also the stars sort of

0:48:23.920 --> 0:48:27.040
<v Speaker 2>aligned for Pitt this year in terms of experience and

0:48:27.080 --> 0:48:30.560
<v Speaker 2>talent and depth everywhere on offense, but Pitt had I

0:48:30.560 --> 0:48:33.960
<v Speaker 2>would argue, the clear best passing offense in the acc

0:48:34.640 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 2>they were more efficient than everybody, and they played good teams.

0:48:38.880 --> 0:48:42.280
<v Speaker 2>So I'm very high on the job that Matt Canada

0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 2>and Nate Peterman did all season long, especially against the

0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:48.120
<v Speaker 2>better teams on their schedule. They're excellent in the red zone.

0:48:48.400 --> 0:48:50.840
<v Speaker 2>The defense is pretty good against the run and just

0:48:50.880 --> 0:48:53.160
<v Speaker 2>atrocious versus the pass. It's slightly improved at the end

0:48:53.160 --> 0:48:55.080
<v Speaker 2>of the year. But yeah, that Syracuse game wasn't pretty

0:48:56.040 --> 0:49:02.319
<v Speaker 2>and Northwestern is just the consummate okay team, And I

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:05.239
<v Speaker 2>like Pitt here twenty seven to twenty three, but you

0:49:05.320 --> 0:49:07.759
<v Speaker 2>seem to like this game. Seems to feel like in

0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:11.279
<v Speaker 2>your zone of everything to you is pointing to pit

0:49:11.400 --> 0:49:14.560
<v Speaker 2>winning straight up and you're not going against that instincts

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:17.160
<v Speaker 2>as what brought you so much success this year. Well,

0:49:17.200 --> 0:49:20.600
<v Speaker 2>so far, I'm eighty percent Bowl season, so I'm gonna

0:49:20.680 --> 0:49:23.920
<v Speaker 2>yeah December to remember. It's different when you talk about

0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:27.800
<v Speaker 2>point spread versus straight up winner point spread. I struggled

0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:31.439
<v Speaker 2>mightily this season straight up winner. I think I would

0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:35.360
<v Speaker 2>have fared a little better. Should also add the worst

0:49:35.400 --> 0:49:40.320
<v Speaker 2>possible gifting to me description anyway, Okay.

0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Is it worse than the Lockheed Martin Bowl that we

0:49:43.080 --> 0:49:44.280
<v Speaker 1>talked about on the last show.

0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the Lockheed Martin Bowl, you get a holiday sweater,

0:49:48.120 --> 0:49:50.560
<v Speaker 2>a football, and a bad and a gift suite appearance,

0:49:51.280 --> 0:49:53.040
<v Speaker 2>which is not great, right, the.

0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Worst singular entity there is a sweater.

0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Officially, the official party line for the new Arapin Straight

0:49:58.760 --> 0:50:02.879
<v Speaker 2>Bowl is a variety of New Era products the end.

0:50:03.160 --> 0:50:05.200
<v Speaker 1>What else do they make beside the hat.

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:12.040
<v Speaker 2>Beanies? I have no idea, but hopefully New Era also

0:50:12.120 --> 0:50:13.560
<v Speaker 2>makes iPads?

0:50:13.640 --> 0:50:17.120
<v Speaker 1>All right? So compare right, thank you? Compare Compare the

0:50:17.120 --> 0:50:20.080
<v Speaker 1>gift suites again between Lockheed Martin a new era.

0:50:20.640 --> 0:50:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so Lockheed Martin once again is giving people a

0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.359
<v Speaker 2>gift sweet appearance, which we don't know. At least there's

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:32.320
<v Speaker 2>some mystery of the unknown. Finnrods festive were holiday sweater,

0:50:32.600 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 2>a football and a beanie?

0:50:34.200 --> 0:50:35.839
<v Speaker 1>What are they giving away at the pinch Stripe Bowl?

0:50:36.560 --> 0:50:41.040
<v Speaker 2>A variety of New era products? Huh, I'm almost inclined.

0:50:41.440 --> 0:50:43.400
<v Speaker 2>There's no gift suite, noted.

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going New era. Oh dumb. Look, you're a football player.

0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:50.800
<v Speaker 1>You don't need a football. What you need a football

0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:53.680
<v Speaker 1>for you get any time? You wont it a beanie?

0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, just the presence of a gift suite

0:50:57.200 --> 0:51:00.600
<v Speaker 2>trumps that a beanie and a sweater.

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:03.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd take my luck. I'd press my luck with the

0:51:03.800 --> 0:51:05.600
<v Speaker 1>hats man. At least you know you can wear a

0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:06.400
<v Speaker 1>hat if you get.

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:08.680
<v Speaker 2>The gift suite, might have awesome things in it.

0:51:08.760 --> 0:51:10.879
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's pay some bills here. All right, let's

0:51:10.880 --> 0:51:12.959
<v Speaker 1>do that. Pay some bills. Talking a lot of bowl

0:51:13.000 --> 0:51:16.959

<v Speaker 1>we're going to the Russell Athletic Bowl now. It is

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:43.440
<v Speaker 1>on Wednesday, December twenty eighth at five thirty pm Eastern

0:53:43.480 --> 0:53:47.440
<v Speaker 1>on ESPN. And it's a pretty interesting matchup. I gotta

0:53:47.480 --> 0:53:51.120
<v Speaker 1>say between the Miami Hurricanes at eight and four, they're

0:53:51.160 --> 0:53:54.959
<v Speaker 1>about a field goal favorite over West Virginia, who went

0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:58.040
<v Speaker 1>ten and two this season. Dan, who you.

0:53:58.000 --> 0:54:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Got, Well, I'm I got the hope that Blake Shelton

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:05.439
<v Speaker 2>will be doing Russell Athletic. Let me tell you about

0:54:05.520 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 2>Russell Athletic. So, West Virginia had a really good offensive year,

0:54:11.640 --> 0:54:13.600
<v Speaker 2>a good defensive year. They were a pretty complete team.

0:54:13.600 --> 0:54:16.040
<v Speaker 2>They finished the season ten and two, probably not the

0:54:16.120 --> 0:54:18.600
<v Speaker 2>end of the season that they would have liked, but

0:54:18.680 --> 0:54:21.160
<v Speaker 2>all things considered, a huge success. For Daniel Holgerson in

0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:25.600
<v Speaker 2>the Mountaineers Miami and Mark ricks first year. Not great

0:54:25.640 --> 0:54:28.279
<v Speaker 2>on the ground, They were fine passing the ball. The

0:54:28.280 --> 0:54:30.840
<v Speaker 2>defense was really good in terms of limiting point limiting points.

0:54:30.840 --> 0:54:32.680
<v Speaker 2>They were great in the red zone in West Virginia

0:54:32.680 --> 0:54:35.640
<v Speaker 2>is sort of average in the red zone. I actually

0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:37.799
<v Speaker 2>think and I know Miami is slightly favored here. I

0:54:37.840 --> 0:54:41.319
<v Speaker 2>think Miami covers and I think they win. I think

0:54:41.360 --> 0:54:43.719
<v Speaker 2>defensively they'll be able to keep West Virginia in check.

0:54:43.760 --> 0:54:46.400
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe force a couple turnovers. I like Miami here.

0:54:46.440 --> 0:54:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Twenty four to twenty.

0:54:48.200 --> 0:54:50.320
<v Speaker 1>You mentioned that West Virginia was pretty good on offense

0:54:50.360 --> 0:54:54.120
<v Speaker 1>this year. Yes, you were complete a very good running team. Okay,

0:54:54.960 --> 0:54:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I would argue that they did not have a truly

0:54:58.480 --> 0:55:01.480
<v Speaker 1>great efficient game again against any team on their schedule

0:55:01.520 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 1>with a decent defense.

0:55:03.080 --> 0:55:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I think that's reasonable to say they ran for a

0:55:05.760 --> 0:55:07.440
<v Speaker 2>ton against Oklahoma in a loss.

0:55:07.480 --> 0:55:09.239
<v Speaker 1>They ran for a ton, and I guess you could

0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:11.880
<v Speaker 1>count byu earlier in the year. That was pretty efficient,

0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but otherwise just a lot to be desired. Miami, on

0:55:16.000 --> 0:55:17.879
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, I thought they looked really, really good

0:55:18.600 --> 0:55:21.640
<v Speaker 1>after losing the game to Notre Dame. After they lost

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:23.719
<v Speaker 1>that game, they went through a rough stretch, but they

0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:26.520
<v Speaker 1>hammered Pitt. They beat NSTI State on the road. I

0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:28.719
<v Speaker 1>still think this is a pretty good team, and I

0:55:28.719 --> 0:55:32.600
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're trending in the right direction. There's sort

0:55:32.600 --> 0:55:35.960
<v Speaker 1>of been this aura this year around Miami being a

0:55:35.960 --> 0:55:38.879
<v Speaker 1>program that's building something under Mark Rick that he knows

0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:42.279
<v Speaker 1>what he's doing. I hope brad Kaya six around another year.

0:55:42.280 --> 0:55:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I would imagine he could go pro if he wanted,

0:55:45.280 --> 0:55:48.080
<v Speaker 1>but there's definitely a chance that he can be much

0:55:48.120 --> 0:55:51.000
<v Speaker 1>improved if he comes back for another year of ripening

0:55:51.080 --> 0:55:54.960
<v Speaker 1>under Mark rickt I just I like their momentum. I

0:55:55.000 --> 0:55:57.480
<v Speaker 1>think they win, I think they cover. I'm confident I'm

0:55:57.520 --> 0:55:59.560
<v Speaker 1>going to Miami in twenty six points.

0:55:59.120 --> 0:56:00.439
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's right.

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I think I don't.

0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's an unfair way to view this game.

0:56:04.280 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't see anything on brad Kaya's I see leaning

0:56:07.440 --> 0:56:09.680
<v Speaker 2>towards the NFL of two days.

0:56:09.719 --> 0:56:12.400
<v Speaker 1>He should he should come back. I think he should.

0:56:12.480 --> 0:56:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I think his stock is not super high right now

0:56:15.080 --> 0:56:17.480
<v Speaker 1>because who's coming out next year. Originally it looked like

0:56:17.560 --> 0:56:20.479
<v Speaker 1>Josh Rosen was going to be the bell of the ball.

0:56:21.000 --> 0:56:23.920
<v Speaker 1>But after this season, after this season, it was a

0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:27.440
<v Speaker 1>rough year, a huge sophomore slump, and he was beat up.

0:56:28.160 --> 0:56:30.800
<v Speaker 1>So what happens next year means to be seeing Brad kaya.

0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:33.960
<v Speaker 1>Brad Kaye has got potential. I'm looking here, So next

0:56:34.040 --> 0:56:36.479
<v Speaker 1>year we'll be a Lamar Jackson. Here'll be Brett Ripping

0:56:36.520 --> 0:56:41.959
<v Speaker 1>at Poise State. I'm looking at the notable sophomores. Trace

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:45.440
<v Speaker 1>McSorley if he has another big year. I'm telling you,

0:56:45.480 --> 0:56:48.279
<v Speaker 1>I looked at that Big Ten quarterbacks list and it

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:51.600
<v Speaker 1>is Trace mcsorly and Disappointment. If he had a band,

0:56:51.640 --> 0:56:54.360
<v Speaker 1>it would be called trace McSorley in the Disappointment. Okay,

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 1>with other Big Ten quarterbacks. Yeah, it's not a particular

0:56:58.680 --> 0:57:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Jake Browning's a sophomore this year and certainly

0:57:01.239 --> 0:57:04.880
<v Speaker 1>against maybe not the best teams on Washington schedule, was incredible.

0:57:07.400 --> 0:57:08.319
<v Speaker 1>There's there's just.

0:57:08.600 --> 0:57:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking at the juniors other than Brad Kaya. I

0:57:10.840 --> 0:57:14.080
<v Speaker 2>mean Luke Fowk I think is going pro. Mason Rudolph

0:57:14.400 --> 0:57:17.480
<v Speaker 2>is a junior. Baker Mayfield said he was coming back,

0:57:17.480 --> 0:57:22.560
<v Speaker 2>but who knows about his NFL prospects. Yeah, there's nothing

0:57:22.600 --> 0:57:26.400
<v Speaker 2>that really indicates all sorts of crazy depth of quarterbacks.

0:57:27.320 --> 0:57:29.479
<v Speaker 1>Good year. If he has a really good year next year,

0:57:30.800 --> 0:57:32.560
<v Speaker 1>there's a case to be made for him to be

0:57:32.680 --> 0:57:33.840
<v Speaker 1>first quarterback off the board.

0:57:34.080 --> 0:57:36.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm looking here, nobody, I mean no, next year it'll

0:57:36.800 --> 0:57:37.640
<v Speaker 2>be Josh Rosen.

0:57:37.680 --> 0:57:39.960
<v Speaker 1>You know that no one's higher on Josh Rosen than

0:57:40.000 --> 0:57:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I am. But I'm skept. Danny Etling, Yeah, Danny e Ling,

0:57:43.000 --> 0:57:46.720
<v Speaker 1>moving on. Okay, all right, what's the gift situation here?

0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Rust Athletic bull very solid as our friendly ellis would say,

0:57:50.160 --> 0:57:52.640
<v Speaker 2>three hundred dollars best by shopping trip. You could cut

0:57:52.640 --> 0:57:54.520
<v Speaker 2>it there, and that's already a big win.

0:57:54.560 --> 0:57:57.360
<v Speaker 1>That's ready better than Lockheed Martin, already better than a

0:57:57.360 --> 0:57:57.760
<v Speaker 1>new era.

0:57:58.400 --> 0:58:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you've got a timely watch company. Watch I slide sandals.

0:58:06.320 --> 0:58:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Slide sandals sounds try slide which, by the way, don't

0:58:10.480 --> 0:58:12.960
<v Speaker 1>name your sandal company and have it sound like a lubrication.

0:58:13.120 --> 0:58:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just die. Just don't just do not. We

0:58:15.480 --> 0:58:19.280
<v Speaker 2>have a beach towel and we have an athletic performance pullover. Fine,

0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:20.080
<v Speaker 2>that's a big win.

0:58:20.200 --> 0:58:20.840
<v Speaker 1>That's fine.

0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:23.320
<v Speaker 2>If you're a Miami or West Virginia player, you should

0:58:23.320 --> 0:58:24.000
<v Speaker 2>be very happy.

0:58:24.400 --> 0:58:28.640
<v Speaker 1>All right. The Foster Farms Bowl in Santa Clara.

0:58:29.360 --> 0:58:33.040
<v Speaker 2>Chicken is what it's listed on the Bowl suite.

0:58:32.240 --> 0:58:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Chicken Levi's Stadium. Also on Wednesday, eight point thirty in

0:58:37.480 --> 0:58:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the evening on Fox Utah at eight and four about

0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:47.400
<v Speaker 1>an eight point favorite over Indiana. Indiana finished six and six. Dan,

0:58:48.120 --> 0:58:50.320
<v Speaker 1>We've been talking a lot about motivations, been talking a

0:58:50.320 --> 0:58:54.800
<v Speaker 1>lot about coaches leaving. How about coaches being outright fired. Yeah,

0:58:55.240 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 1>that factors in two. I don't like this situation at

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:01.400
<v Speaker 1>all for Indiana. Why the coach being fired for all

0:59:01.440 --> 0:59:04.040
<v Speaker 1>field reasons. That's not a distraction.

0:59:05.160 --> 0:59:07.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's somewhat of a distraction. But there's

0:59:07.720 --> 0:59:10.480
<v Speaker 2>continuity with Tom Allen being there's continuity.

0:59:10.520 --> 0:59:13.919
<v Speaker 1>But here here's the larger point. Utah is the kind

0:59:13.960 --> 0:59:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of team that if you do not play them with

0:59:16.640 --> 0:59:20.560
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent focus, they will beat you. Yes, that's

0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the kind of team that Utah is. They're very fundamentally sound.

0:59:23.520 --> 0:59:25.840
<v Speaker 1>They're going to come into this game ready. They're going

0:59:25.920 --> 0:59:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to come into this game, I think, ready to run

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the football right down Indiana's throat. I am very confident

0:59:32.600 --> 0:59:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and then winning. I don't know about covering, but I

0:59:35.400 --> 0:59:37.800
<v Speaker 1>do like Utah here to win the game outright to

0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the tune of like twenty nine confidence points.

0:59:40.440 --> 0:59:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it should be noted this is, as far as

0:59:44.160 --> 0:59:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I can tell, the one Bowl game not broadcast by ESPN,

0:59:48.800 --> 0:59:51.040
<v Speaker 2>or at least the one Bowl game that Fox has.

0:59:51.080 --> 0:59:54.320
<v Speaker 2>Does the Sunball still go to CBS. Let's say there.

0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Is a game that is being broadcast on a network

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I've never heard of before, and it might be the

0:59:58.440 --> 0:59:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Sun Bowl.

0:59:58.920 --> 1:00:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the American Sports Network is doing the Home

1:00:01.760 --> 1:00:04.360
<v Speaker 2>Loans Arizona Bowl between Airports or South Alabama.

1:00:04.480 --> 1:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1:00:05.800 --> 1:00:08.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what the American Sports Network is, but

1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:11.400
<v Speaker 2>CBS has the Sun Bowl. The only ball Fox has

1:00:11.560 --> 1:00:14.560
<v Speaker 2>is this game. And I would love it if like

1:00:14.720 --> 1:00:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Fox went above and beyond, like they had the desk

1:00:17.960 --> 1:00:21.320
<v Speaker 2>on the field for the Foster Farms Bowl. They had

1:00:21.360 --> 1:00:23.440
<v Speaker 2>like a crew of like eight people weighing in on

1:00:23.520 --> 1:00:25.400
<v Speaker 2>this game, and like Bruce and Stu.

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's go down to the field with Rob Stone, Matt Lionert,

1:00:28.480 --> 1:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>and Bredy Quinn. Yeah.

1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they do some version of game day that morning

1:00:31.600 --> 1:00:35.960
<v Speaker 2>for the Foster Farms Bowl. So it's hard to sort

1:00:35.960 --> 1:00:39.600
<v Speaker 2>of fully understand Indiana with having interim made full time

1:00:39.640 --> 1:00:43.000
<v Speaker 2>coach Tom Allen. Their defense is widely improved. Again heart

1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>to gauge against Big Ten offenses. Something that you pointed

1:00:45.760 --> 1:00:50.760
<v Speaker 2>out about Indiana's scoring points. Indiana threw the second most

1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:54.680
<v Speaker 2>interceptions in the Big Ten, and their their pass efficiency

1:00:54.760 --> 1:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>numbers are still like fourth. Yeah, exactly, That's how bad

1:00:58.760 --> 1:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>the Big Ten game is.

1:01:00.720 --> 1:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>In general.

1:01:02.040 --> 1:01:05.320
<v Speaker 2>Utah's offense is okay. Joe Williams is very good. Their

1:01:05.360 --> 1:01:07.919
<v Speaker 2>defense is okay against the run, and somehow attroches against

1:01:07.960 --> 1:01:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the past even having Hunter Dimmick, you know, maybe the

1:01:10.360 --> 1:01:13.720
<v Speaker 2>most underrated and dominant defensive lineman in college football.

1:01:14.880 --> 1:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you're right.

1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I think Utah takes advantage of teams that are sort

1:01:18.240 --> 1:01:21.760
<v Speaker 2>of everywhere in their focus. So I'm going to say

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Utah twenty three to seventeen.

1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's move on. Do we have a Bowl

1:01:26.040 --> 1:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>gift situation here.

1:01:27.480 --> 1:01:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Chick in in this game the Foster Farms, we have

1:01:32.400 --> 1:01:34.320
<v Speaker 2>a gift suite of Fossil Watch and a tim Buck

1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to backpack. Now give him Bobby pretty decent. I I

1:01:39.480 --> 1:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>tie in my daily life in real life. My messenger

1:01:42.760 --> 1:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>bag that I wear to and from work is tim

1:01:44.960 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Buck two. Really, it's been very solid for me. Yeah,

1:01:48.600 --> 1:01:51.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm more of a targets guy myself. I don't know

1:01:51.160 --> 1:01:51.640
<v Speaker 2>what that is.

1:01:52.240 --> 1:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Different kind of backpack. Pa. I'm reading here that Foster Farms,

1:01:57.120 --> 1:02:01.080
<v Speaker 1>United States West Coast Poultry Company. It's been privately owned

1:02:01.080 --> 1:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and operated by the Foster family since nineteen thirty nine.

1:02:04.320 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It's Deshaun Foster's family company.

1:02:07.720 --> 1:02:09.040
<v Speaker 1>That can't be true. That can't be true.

1:02:09.120 --> 1:02:09.920
<v Speaker 2>That is not true at all.

1:02:09.920 --> 1:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Now, a lot of chicken representation here in the bowls

1:02:12.560 --> 1:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>this year.

1:02:13.200 --> 1:02:15.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, pretty good. I mean, if it's in this is

1:02:15.320 --> 1:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>what San Francisco, it is in Santa Clara, y Santa Clara,

1:02:19.160 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 2>excuse me. I would assume that a gift suite in

1:02:22.440 --> 1:02:24.920
<v Speaker 2>the Greater Silicon Valley area is probably be pretty good.

1:02:25.520 --> 1:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm going to assume that.

1:02:27.000 --> 1:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to say that this is probably upper

1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:31.840
<v Speaker 2>fifteen percent of gift suites.

1:02:32.080 --> 1:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>That seems reasonable to me. Yeah.

1:02:34.280 --> 1:02:36.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I really like my Tim Buck Tubec.

1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:41.120
<v Speaker 1>The Advocare V one hundred Texas Bowl Dan m hm.

1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>After many years of not knowing a thing about Advocare

1:02:43.640 --> 1:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>V one hundred, I now know it's a vitamin company, Tye.

1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And I can't stress this enough Advocare is definitely not

1:02:49.720 --> 1:02:54.320
<v Speaker 2>a pyramid scheme scam. It is definitely not Oh no, no, no,

1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>not at all.

1:02:56.240 --> 1:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>They play this one at the nerg Energy Stadium in Houston.

1:03:00.680 --> 1:03:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Texas Bowl is a clash between one team in Texas, Texas.

1:03:04.520 --> 1:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>A and M. At eight and four, they're a two

1:03:06.720 --> 1:03:10.200
<v Speaker 1>point favorite over K State also at eight and four.

1:03:10.280 --> 1:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>They do play this one on Wednesday night, nine thirty

1:03:12.560 --> 1:03:17.960
<v Speaker 1>pm Eastern on esp and Dan Okay, I am super

1:03:18.040 --> 1:03:22.800
<v Speaker 1>tempted to go ky State here, Yeah, really truly tempted.

1:03:24.200 --> 1:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>A and M struggled down the stretch against the run,

1:03:27.520 --> 1:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's pretty much all K State does. The X

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>factor here though, And why I'm not gonna do it

1:03:33.520 --> 1:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>is because I think A and M's going to be

1:03:35.560 --> 1:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>back and healthy again along their line. Miles Garrett will

1:03:39.560 --> 1:03:45.520
<v Speaker 1>be back if he is back. And considering what A

1:03:45.600 --> 1:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>and M has on offense just out wide, I feel

1:03:50.200 --> 1:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>they are too athletic for K State. K State doesn't.

1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:57.919
<v Speaker 1>They don't do that athletic thing very well. You can

1:03:57.960 --> 1:04:00.800
<v Speaker 1>out athletic then that's not really a thing, but I'm

1:04:00.840 --> 1:04:04.280
<v Speaker 1>making it up. You can be more athletic than K State,

1:04:05.000 --> 1:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and that stands for something K State also didn't beat

1:04:08.440 --> 1:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>a single winning team all year. They beat two teams

1:04:12.000 --> 1:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that were six and six. It was a typical Bill

1:04:15.320 --> 1:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Snyder kind of season where he just finds a way

1:04:18.880 --> 1:04:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to cobble it all together, runs the crap out of

1:04:21.360 --> 1:04:24.000
<v Speaker 1>the ballplays defense. I think A and M wins here.

1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:26.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not overly confident. I think they win and cover

1:04:27.480 --> 1:04:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to the tune of twelve confidence points here?

1:04:31.400 --> 1:04:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Am I right? Did K State exclusively lose to the

1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:36.040
<v Speaker 2>rank teams on their schedule?

1:04:36.480 --> 1:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe so that's correct.

1:04:37.600 --> 1:04:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It's I mean, it depends on who you're talking about,

1:04:40.080 --> 1:04:42.560
<v Speaker 2>but that's still pretty good. They didn't lose to a

1:04:42.600 --> 1:04:44.440
<v Speaker 2>team that they shouldn't have lost to. They lost to

1:04:44.480 --> 1:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the Oklahoma schools, and they lost to Stanford in West Virginia,

1:04:49.280 --> 1:04:52.040
<v Speaker 2>which they probably should have lost those games, but they

1:04:52.080 --> 1:04:56.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't lose anything stupid. Whereas text A and M is

1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:59.240
<v Speaker 2>in a place, they're like the complete opposite type programs

1:05:00.120 --> 1:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>and Texts A and M to me feels like a

1:05:03.400 --> 1:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>car that the owner is bragging about buying. It's so

1:05:07.040 --> 1:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>expensive and flashy and beautiful and fast, but you have

1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to like replace the transmission every three months.

1:05:13.320 --> 1:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you see the car facts on it.

1:05:14.960 --> 1:05:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, there's just so much, like you have to

1:05:18.240 --> 1:05:20.800
<v Speaker 2>put in gas that's not available at every gas station.

1:05:21.480 --> 1:05:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Like there's just so much that actually under the hood

1:05:24.480 --> 1:05:28.320
<v Speaker 2>is not particularly good. I like KSE State in this game.

1:05:28.360 --> 1:05:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Actually they've they won five of their last six, including

1:05:31.760 --> 1:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>teams that were against teams that were definitely more athletic

1:05:34.840 --> 1:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>than KSE State. K State runs the ball pretty well.

1:05:38.200 --> 1:05:41.000
<v Speaker 2>They're dreadful passing the ball, but that's not terribly new.

1:05:41.760 --> 1:05:43.600
<v Speaker 2>They have the best rush defense in the Big Twelve,

1:05:43.920 --> 1:05:46.160
<v Speaker 2>which isn't to say a ton, but they're so so

1:05:46.240 --> 1:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>against the past. Jordan Willis had a huge year for

1:05:48.560 --> 1:05:51.680
<v Speaker 2>them on defense and text A and m. It just

1:05:51.680 --> 1:05:54.480
<v Speaker 2>seemed like they would either have a very long touchdown

1:05:54.760 --> 1:05:58.880
<v Speaker 2>or the offense would struggle, and their defense was average

1:05:58.960 --> 1:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>versus the run and bad all things, especially bad against

1:06:02.400 --> 1:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>the past considering what they should have been doing against

1:06:04.640 --> 1:06:07.520
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks playing and play out. So I am just going

1:06:07.560 --> 1:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>to roll with the team that I can count on

1:06:09.240 --> 1:06:09.959
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more.

1:06:10.000 --> 1:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I go.

1:06:10.240 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 2>I have Kansas State twenty seven to twenty three.

1:06:12.840 --> 1:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>I just can't get past the fact that am should

1:06:15.560 --> 1:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>be healthy along their d line for this game. All right,

1:06:18.600 --> 1:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that spells trouble for k State.

1:06:21.320 --> 1:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>But you're not wrong in saying that K State is

1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>a more reliable team.

1:06:26.040 --> 1:06:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Who has the better quarterback in this game. Trevor Knight,

1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>how confident are you in that?

1:06:32.760 --> 1:06:35.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm fairly confident. At least I know he can throw.

1:06:36.280 --> 1:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, he's beat up. I mean he's playing. I believe so.

1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Trevor Knight, in the SEC Conference without particularly good quarterbacks,

1:06:43.440 --> 1:06:47.320
<v Speaker 2>finished ninth in in pass efficiency through for six point

1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:52.840
<v Speaker 2>three yards per attempt. He is approaching kyleer Shermer levels

1:06:52.880 --> 1:06:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of productivity. He is approaching Kyle Shermer. A and M

1:06:58.800 --> 1:07:01.880
<v Speaker 2>got to the red zone. We can cale Schumer as often,

1:07:02.760 --> 1:07:08.040
<v Speaker 2>exactly as often as as Vanderbilt did in SEC play. Granted,

1:07:08.160 --> 1:07:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Vanderbilts in the East. Text A and M is a

1:07:11.520 --> 1:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>February team.

1:07:14.280 --> 1:07:16.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, what's the gift situation here?

1:07:18.360 --> 1:07:22.280
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, text A and M. I still like you. Texas

1:07:22.320 --> 1:07:24.640
<v Speaker 2>A and M and Kansas State players will be receiving

1:07:24.640 --> 1:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>a trip to a gift suite. A belt buckle, okay,

1:07:27.880 --> 1:07:30.600
<v Speaker 2>in Texas thing Brian Kelly would love that. He would

1:07:30.600 --> 1:07:34.840
<v Speaker 2>that an Adidas backpack and our favorite lubricating sandals, the

1:07:34.960 --> 1:07:36.360
<v Speaker 2>eye slides.

1:07:36.240 --> 1:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Eye slides.

1:07:37.080 --> 1:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Can we look up here, let's look at ice slides.

1:07:39.640 --> 1:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Ice slide sandals. Mm hmm. Just doesn't sound safe.

1:07:45.240 --> 1:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>It looks like they're a shark tank company.

1:07:47.360 --> 1:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I like that they have the little nubs for you.

1:07:50.040 --> 1:07:50.280
<v Speaker 1>They do.

1:07:50.440 --> 1:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>They are like shower sandal esque. They have licensing from

1:07:53.760 --> 1:07:55.680
<v Speaker 2>major sports teams. It looks like but.

1:07:55.640 --> 1:08:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Why are they called I slide? I don't know, and

1:08:00.120 --> 1:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>slide around in them? See, I'd be worried that I'd

1:08:02.800 --> 1:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>slip and fall. I think it's to prevent sliding, which

1:08:04.920 --> 1:08:08.439
<v Speaker 1>makes the title very It's like calling someone little John. Yes,

1:08:09.160 --> 1:08:14.080
<v Speaker 1>all right? And then finally the Birmingham Bowl. You know

1:08:14.120 --> 1:08:17.559
<v Speaker 1>where they play this game, Dan, Toledo. They played this

1:08:17.640 --> 1:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>game in Birmingham, Alabama at Legion Field. This is a

1:08:21.840 --> 1:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Thursday game at two pm Eastern on ESPN. USF ten

1:08:28.000 --> 1:08:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and two on the year. They're a ten and a

1:08:29.479 --> 1:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>half point favorite against the South Carolina game Cocks. South

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Carolina and Will Muschamp went six and six. USF is

1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a pretty healthy favorite here, Dan, Is there a reason

1:08:42.400 --> 1:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't blindly side with USF and the Bulls?

1:08:46.479 --> 1:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh? They lost their head coach.

1:08:50.040 --> 1:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>H So there's that.

1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:56.679
<v Speaker 2>So us F is in. I mean, Charlie Strong won't

1:08:56.720 --> 1:08:58.760
<v Speaker 2>be coaching this game. But USF is in a pretty

1:08:58.760 --> 1:09:00.840
<v Speaker 2>good position. South Carolina and I did get better over

1:09:00.880 --> 1:09:03.400
<v Speaker 2>the second half of the season, highlighted by the Tennessee win.

1:09:04.280 --> 1:09:08.639
<v Speaker 2>USF scores quickly and efficiently. Quinn Flowers is the clear

1:09:08.760 --> 1:09:12.400
<v Speaker 2>number two dual threat quarterback in terms of how good

1:09:12.400 --> 1:09:15.599
<v Speaker 2>he is on the ground behind Lamar Jackson. He had

1:09:15.600 --> 1:09:19.639
<v Speaker 2>an incredible year for the Bulls. South Carolina is pretty

1:09:19.680 --> 1:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>good at preventing longer plays, but South Carolina's offense is

1:09:23.439 --> 1:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>worse than USF's defense, which was pretty bad without Tom

1:09:26.760 --> 1:09:29.679
<v Speaker 2>Allen this year. So I'm gonna roll with USF ripping

1:09:29.720 --> 1:09:31.479
<v Speaker 2>off some big plays. I think Marlon Mack is one

1:09:31.520 --> 1:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>of the really underrated running backs in college football. So

1:09:34.200 --> 1:09:36.679
<v Speaker 2>I have the Bulls here thirty to seventeen. I've got

1:09:36.680 --> 1:09:40.120
<v Speaker 2>the Bulls around the same. Le't say, like thirty four

1:09:40.960 --> 1:09:44.719
<v Speaker 2>seventeen somewhere in there, and I'm pretty confident, pretty confident

1:09:44.760 --> 1:09:48.280
<v Speaker 2>of a winning cover USF twenty four confidence points.

1:09:48.720 --> 1:09:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Gift situation in the was Birmingham Bull Yes, Okay, the

1:09:53.280 --> 1:09:57.479
<v Speaker 1>gift situation in Birmingham. We have a gift suite, okay,

1:09:57.560 --> 1:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>good start, an ESPN beanie Okay, it might get cold.

1:10:02.640 --> 1:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, a power charger and USB adapter. I

1:10:05.680 --> 1:10:08.519
<v Speaker 1>think that's thoughtful, Tie, I think that's definitely thoughtful. We've

1:10:08.520 --> 1:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>talked about the USB charger before.

1:10:10.600 --> 1:10:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I think it's one of the greatest gifts you

1:10:13.080 --> 1:10:15.920
<v Speaker 2>can give somebody a portable USB charger for their phone

1:10:16.320 --> 1:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>and a souvenir football. So middle of the pack.

1:10:19.040 --> 1:10:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully the gift sweet is loaded. It's better than Rockheed Martin. Absolutely.

1:10:22.920 --> 1:10:26.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well that does it, Dan. We've got two

1:10:26.360 --> 1:10:30.960
