Speaker 2: I don't want a lot for Christmas. Tie, There's just

10
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: there's one thing that I need you.

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: Do an Oria Carrey. He's got to be Mariah Carey, right.

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 2: I don't care about the presence underneath the Christmas tree.

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: I just want bull season for my own more than

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: you could ever know. Tie, make my wish come true.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: All I want for Christmas is who's in the Belk Bowl.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: Let's go Virginia.

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: Let's do this. Well that was lovely, thank you.

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got an alternate version if you're willing. There's

19
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: a second verse, whereas I won't ask for much this Christmas.

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: I won't even wish for snow. I'm just going to

21
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: keep on waiting for the Red Box Bowl.

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was not as strong.

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: I felt like the who kind of fit a little

24
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: bit better.

25
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 1: Definitely picked the right one to try.

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: I was thinking, all I want for Christmas is the you,

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: But then we would have to go back to talking

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: about the Pinstripe Bowl and who wants that.

29
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, by the way, Jack Cohne is going to be

30
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: starting in the pin Stripe Bowl for Wisconsin. I have

31
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: that note of here. Yeah, I'm changing my pick to

32
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the you as a result of King Cone getting the start.

33
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's the reasonable. You're on the record

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: officially before kickoff.

35
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: So here's the deal, boys and girls.

36
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: Wait, is that before kickoff? I don't know how the

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: timing works. We're a we are in a like a

38
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 2: the fourth dimension.

39
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: We are we are in the fourth dimension. Here is

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the deal. We alluded to it a little bit on

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: our Wednesday show. But if you are hearing this now,

42
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: you're probably hearing this show on a Sunday. But because

43
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: and I have all sorts of scheduling conflicts over the

44
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: next week or so, we are actually in the process

45
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: of banging out two shows back to back here. So

46
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the very first one we're doing is going to be

47
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs and Bowls. I guess that run up through

48
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: at least some portion of New Year's Eve, and then

49
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: we got another one that we're going to do. Probably

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: take a little bit of a break, I would think,

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: just a bathroom break or what the whistle.

52
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: So I'm wearing a cafe are and a diaper tie.

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: I'm here for the long haul. Then we're going to

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: preview the rest of the Bowl games. Make sure we

55
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: have all of our bases covered here. Make sure you

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: have enough information to pick your confidence selections in the

57
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: Soliverable bullpool. So we're recording on Friday, which is, like

58
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 2: Dan said, a little bit of the fourth dimension here.

59
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: A little bit awkward for us timing wise, but we're

60
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: going to do our best to run through as many

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 2: games as possible. Don't forget if you're listening to us

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: over the holidays, if you're in the car, if you're

63
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: going to meet family, tell people about the Soliverble. That's

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: the gift that you can give us. And in return,

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 2: we're going to do our best to pump out some

66
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 2: A plus quality free content here.

67
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: Hey plus, Yeah, this is news to me. So with

68
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: all that being said, Daniel, yeah, should we just dive

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: right into our Bowl games here? I have a quick request.

70
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Yes, because news wise, it's going to be difficult to

71
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: react to things if something happens between the time we're

72
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: recording this. Like you said, we're in the fourth dimension,

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: fifth dimension. I don't know. The very end of.

74
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Interstellar was quite confusing to me. Yeah, we're behind the bookshelf.

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so yeah, if your books are rattling right now,

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: that's that's mama h somehow. I don't know.

77
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: So.

78
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: First of all, Marshall beat us F Yes in the

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: what was the bad Boy Mower's guest rillable Gaspardiya, Yeah,

80
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: that was pretty much start to finish. They go up

81
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: twenty one to seven in the first quarter and a

82
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 2: really nice back half of the season for what the

83
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Thundering Herd. Yeah, that's what they Areily, they again prove

84
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 2: the rule of the team with the better defensive points

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: per drive without at least a terrible offense like San

86
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: Diego State, who also lost their bowl game against Ohio.

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: How you doing so far in your bullpicks? Really well,

88
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: I'm seven and two so far.

89
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: I think I'm something like that. I missed on UAB,

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 2: which is dumb because UAB should have been the pick

91
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 2: for my theory. I went against I went against Swab

92
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: and I went against Utah State, which also should have

93
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: been my pick. So the theory is doing great. I

94
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: just interrupted myself. So I think we covered everything else

95
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: bowl wise. But just because we are in this four

96
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: point five dimension, Tie, if I could get a breaking

97
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: news real quick so we can cover our bases just

98
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: in case.

99
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: Dan, we have.

100
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Now none of this is confirmed, nor is any of

101
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: it true, but it could be by the time you're

102
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: listening to this. So Urban Meyer has been knighted. Yeah,

103
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: and he will receive a Kennedy Center on s Meyer.

104
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: Mike Leitch has embraced a conspiracy theory that has crossed

105
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: the line we didn't even know existed.

106
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: Okay, into the sixth dimension.

107
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yukon somehow lost again. They're not in a bowl.

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: They lost. There was a very murderous fight in the

109
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 2: cheese it bowl of Jesuits. And what I'm most excited by,

110
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: and I think you will be too, Tie, is like

111
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: a lot of these NBA players, NFL players who get

112
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: the custom cleats and the custom shoes with air brushing,

113
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: you know, you see, like Sonic the Hedgehog and stuff.

114
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly's cotton Bowl boots have an airbrushed picture of

115
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly wearing his old son Bowl boots, which I

116
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: thought was very wonderful touch toxtrive the Cotton Bowl so

117
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: Texan so just wanted to cover our bases there. Congratulations

118
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: to again Urban Meyer, who I think is actually teaching

119
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: a grad course on leadership leadership some ethics. Sure she

120
00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: wouldn't have picked a guy. Okay, So here we are, Daniel.

121
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: It's the holidays, it's college football. Let's just do this thing.

122
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: I'll go time.

123
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: Time. Fine, Dan. It brings a singular, lonely tier to

124
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: my eye to know that we're closing out twenty eighteen.

125
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: But I'm very excited on the same note that we've

126
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: got big, high flying Playoff Bowl action coming at you.

127
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Oh wow, you really are sort of treading on my

128
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: serious ex homeboys right now.

129
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: A little too close to the line, there, little close.

130
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic. It is

131
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: the first of two playoff semi final games. We're going

132
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: right into it. We're jumping right in Dankay at and

133
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: T Stadium, Jerry's World in Arlington, Texas. They play this

134
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: one on Saturday, the twenty ninth of December at four

135
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 1: pm Eastern on ESPN Spins. Some would say Notre Dame

136
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: twelve and zero. They are the three seed headed into

137
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: this tournament, this mini tournament versus Clemson, they are thirteen

138
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: and oh they're the number two seed. Clemson is currently

139
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: a twelve and one half point favorite. Dan, Yeah, let

140
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: me shade my analysis. I have a lot to say

141
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: about this game, as you might.

142
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm just I might pull up a chair. I usually

143
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: stand when I do these, but I'm I'm ready to

144
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: sit on a dock of the bay listening.

145
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: Let me shade my comments by saying, just upfront, Clemson

146
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: is the better team. Yes, we would agree with that.

147
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 2: Yes we don't fully know, but that's what it appears. Yeah,

148
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 2: it appears that way. Project These are somewhat untested teams

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: in terms of high quality opponents. Would I would still say,

150
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: now you know how I feel about the mission like

151
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: the Michigan timing. That's a team in late August early

152
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: September is not whatever they're going to be later on

153
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: in the season, for sure. First conversation, Okay, but.

154
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: I think clem since better on offense, They're slightly better

155
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: on defense. I got forty eight guys or so on

156
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: the roster. I think I saw with playoff experience, there's

157
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: a lot working in their favor here, including one big

158
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: matchup that I'm going to get to in a second.

159
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: But I need your advice, Okay, before we get there.

160
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: I have a dilemma. I talked about this with some

161
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: of the kind patrons, some of our friendly verballers at

162
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: our Minneapolis meetup. Who better to break down Clemson every

163
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: game this season? I have taken the points against Notre Dame. Yeah,

164
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: and I don't know how well that's worked out against

165
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: the spread, but straight up Notre Dame's undefeated, it's worked

166
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: out pretty well. Now they're the underdog, and this has

167
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: thrown me into a bit of an existential crisis. Do

168
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I keep the train rolling by taking the points or

169
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: do I continue betting against Notre Dame. I'm asking for

170
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: a friend, Dan, I need to know what you would

171
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: do if you had something working And now, all of

172
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, this sort of breaks the formula.

173
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: Notre Dame seven and five against the spread this year,

174
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: by the way, so Vegas not fully able to figure

175
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: out the Irish at this point in terms of spread

176
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 2: against opponents. So do I take the points or do

177
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: I continue betting against Notre Dame. No, just break down

178
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 2: the game like a human being tied. Not this superstitious garbage.

179
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: It doesn't make a difference. Just no, no, give me

180
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: your opinion of this game. And you know Notre Dame

181
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: better than most. So what you say I mean not

182
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 2: because of gambling, but what you say holds weight with

183
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: people because you pay close attention to this team.

184
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: All year long.

185
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: So don't don't like, don't throw a wrench into your

186
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 2: actual opinion. Let's get let's get tied to the core. Tie.

187
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: Come on, I have superstitious qualities here, now.

188
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: Throw them out the throw out the window. You have

189
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 2: a sound to do that.

190
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: There are two things that worry me a lot as

191
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame fan. I'm just going to talk subjectively

192
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: here now. The first I think is pretty obvious. Clemson's

193
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: got an NFL caliber defensive line. They've got four starters

194
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: up front with twenty two and a half sacks in

195
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: the season. Many they've been wreaking havoc all year long.

196
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: And I keep thinking back to what Mike Gulick Junior

197
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: told me when I did the Homers Show earlier this year.

198
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: And he gave Notre Dame's offensive line like a C

199
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: or a C plus. That was about three quarters of

200
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: the way through the year. But headed into a matchup

201
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: like this.

202
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: They replaced their center right. That was a big injury.

203
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: That's right, Yes, that's right. Headed into a matchup like this,

204
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their hands full. If they're still playing

205
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 1: at that sea quality, they're gonna have their hands full.

206
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: Even if they're not, they're going to have their hands full,

207
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 1: which is gonna make it tough to open up holes

208
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: for Dexter Williams and Tony Jones and Jafar Armstrong, who's

209
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: finally healthy now. So I think there's a real risk

210
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 1: of Notre Dame getting or being forced into being one dimensional.

211
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: That's the first thing. The other thing, I think there's

212
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: a real chance that they take so punches early Notre

213
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: Dame does, and that they're playing catch up the whole game.

214
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: Their defense is good, it's legit, but it seems like

215
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: you can get them early. And I just have these visions,

216
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: these nightmares of Notre Dame being stopped in their opening possession,

217
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: Clemson marching the field, scoring instantly, Ian Book getting the

218
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: ball back, throwing a bad pick Clemson being up fourteen

219
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: to nothing like six and a half minutes into the

220
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: first quarter. That is my biggest fear as a Notre

221
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Dame fan, that they fall behind early and then they're

222
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: playing catch up the whole game.

223
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: I feel as if Clemson was not towards the end

224
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: of the year like a jump out team.

225
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 1: Right.

226
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: It was a slowish start in some weird weather it was.

227
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: I know it was what fourteen to three after the

228
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 2: first quarter against pitt which is a great start for Clemson,

229
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: but not runaway. The Boston College game was manageable into

230
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: the half for the Eagles. South Carolina was pretty tight.

231
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: So if Clemson were to jump out against a very

232
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: good Notre Dame team, when that come as somewhat of

233
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,839
Speaker 2: a surprise given some recent games.

234
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean what matters is what they've done

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,079
Speaker 1: in the second halves of They.

236
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 2: Went down six nothing right for sure, But you're just

237
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: talking about how they jump out. They were down six

238
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: nothing to Duke after the first quarter.

239
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: The three reasons I am optimistic about this game from

240
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame perspective gets back to what you said before.

241
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: But Clemson, I think a little untested against a really

242
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: good defense. Notre Dame is going to be the best

243
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: defense they've seen all year. That's hands down. How does

244
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence respond. It's going to be interesting to see that.

245
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: The other thing that I'd add here is if Notre

246
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Dame can get their big receivers involved, that may present

247
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: an issue for Clemson.

248
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 2: Yep, Boykin and Claypool.

249
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: Boyk and Claypool, they're both about six four, two thirty ish.

250
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: Clemson's not small at corner. They're fine, but it's a

251
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: different kind of challenge than I think they faced all year.

252
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how they respond here. So ultimately,

253
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: not to talk everyone's face off, I think the matchup

254
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: in the trenches is the one that swings this in

255
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: Clemson's direction. I think they're the better team. I think

256
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: they knock off Notre Dame. So I've got eight confidence

257
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: points on that.

258
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: So when Clemson is pushing two touchdowns as a favorite,

259
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 2: it's pretty clear why. Because the things you mentioned, the

260
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: line that can swarm anybody an offense, you don't even

261
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: mention Travis Ctn. Perhaps by the end of the year,

262
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 2: the best running back in college football has ability to

263
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: break it loose pretty consistently the offensive line with a

264
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: ton of experience on Clemson's end. You mentioned Trevor Lawrence.

265
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: So to me, the Clemson path is pretty obvious and

266
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: that's pressuring ian book and just slowly but surely. They

267
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: feel very crock potty in the way that they've won

268
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: this year, getting a lot of guys involved. To me, though,

269
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: the Notre Dame path, which is something you also alluded to,

270
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: is it's pretty much fearlessly challenging Clemson all over the

271
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: field through the air. I don't think Notre Dame can

272
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: win this game on the ground, I really don't.

273
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: I agree.

274
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and that'll have to be quickly

275
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: because of the pass rush in the pocket collapsing potential.

276
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: So that's what screens and crossers, maybe some rub routes

277
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: getting creative. That's Chip. I always get my chip, Chip

278
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 2: long younger guy. And defensively, Clarkley this defense, which has

279
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: been great. It's and this is one of my all

280
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 2: time favorite phrases. We make fun of the old like

281
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: Thursday Night Crew because they'd always say like pin your

282
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: ears back or third in California, that kind of thing.

283
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: If Notre Dame can make Trevor Lawrence Sea ghosts. I

284
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 2: love that phrasing before. You've never heard sea ghosts. Never

285
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: heard that in a million? Come on, see ghosts. Yeah,

286
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: so you know, like the sort of plays where all

287
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: of a sudden nose tackle drops in a coverage.

288
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,239
Speaker 1: I think I feel like Lewis.

289
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 2: Nicks had a like a pick doing that at some

290
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: point See ghosts, Seeing ghosts, where you're seeing you're basically

291
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: confusing the quarterback into seeing coverage that's not really there.

292
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: And Trevor Lawrence, for as high as his ceiling is

293
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 2: and as excellent as he has been for most of

294
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: the year, it's a true freshman or is near the

295
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: end of his true freshman campaign, and true freshman can

296
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 2: make mistakes. So if Notre Dame can do a good

297
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: job of disguising certain things on defense coverages, I think

298
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: that is a huge, huge deal. And then on a

299
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: similar note, is with that secondary notably it's Julian Love

300
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: who's the other corner, Troy Pride Junior, Troy Pride Junior. Yes,

301
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: it's those two winning fifty to fifty balls deep. T

302
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: Higgins is outstanding. They're really really good downfield, and if

303
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: they find themselves on an island. Without that safety help,

304
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: it's winning those fifty to fifty huge, huge moments, and

305
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: so that's the path to me to Notre Dame. I

306
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 2: think the Irish have to score thirty. I think they

307
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: score anything less than thirty. It's hard for me to

308
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: see them walking away with a win. I'm going to

309
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: take the points. I find it very difficult to give

310
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: that many points against what I still believe, even though

311
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: the opponents haven't been wonderful offensively other than maybe Stanford,

312
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: that defense will lose this game by more than twelve

313
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 2: and a half thirteen points. So I'm going to take

314
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: those points. I am going to come in at thirty

315
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: one twenty five Clemson.

316
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: I got thirty four to twenty one Clemson.

317
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: I'm worried about the offense against USC, what it looked

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: like and seeing that kind of slow starts. That troubles

319
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: me a little.

320
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: They're not going to come out slow offensively in this one,

321
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: at least not the same manner that they did against USC.

322
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: If they come out slow, it's because Clemson's got their

323
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: number and because their defensive line is in Ian Book's face. Okay,

324
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: all right, so I.

325
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: Guess we are you gonna take those points.

326
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: No, I'm going thirty four to twenty one.

327
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: Oh, okay, So Clemson is barely covering, barely covering by

328
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: half a point.

329
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm looking here at the list of gifts here.

330
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: M hm. The Cotton Bowl would not disclose, cowards, They

331
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: would not disclose. So I suppose your pipe dream of

332
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly wearing boots of Brian Kelly wearing boots is

333
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: still a possibility.

334
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: Can neither confirm nor deny. That's the Cotton Bowl stance.

335
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: All right, what is your food wreck, by the way

336
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: for as part of the world rule.

337
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 2: Oh yes, went here before Ohio State Oregon in the

338
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 2: National Championship. So I hope that's not a bad omen

339
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 2: before one of our teams plays in Jerry Worlds. Pecan

340
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: Lodge is outstanding barbecue. I know it's Dallas. The game

341
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: is north of Dallas in or whatever direction of Dallas

342
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: in Arlington. Incredible barbecue. There is a line, so go earlier,

343
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 2: go with a lot of people to skip the line

344
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: and get the trough really really strong fried chicken, much

345
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: more so than any barbecue play should have. Again, Pacan

346
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 2: Lodge wonderful.

347
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Capitol One Orange Bullets, the second

348
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: of two playoff semi finals. They played at hard Rock

349
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: Stadium in Miami, Florida, also on Saturday, the twenty ninth,

350
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: This one at eight pm, also on ESPN. It's Oklahoma,

351
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: your Big twelve champ at twelve and one, the number

352
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 1: four team in the country, squaring off against Alabama at

353
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: thirteen and No, you're sec champ. They are you guessed

354
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: that the number one team in the country. They're a

355
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: fourteen point favorite, which we'll talk about here momentarily. Okay.

356
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I said several weeks ago that I was really excited

357
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: at the potential that this matchup could have. I am

358
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 1: pumped to watch this game. Oh I'm not sure what

359
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: state I will be in mentally after watching Notre Dame Clemson,

360
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: but I'm going to force my way through this game nonetheless,

361
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: because this is going to be an awesome matchup. We've got,

362
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: I think, a philosophical difference between these two teams. We've

363
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: got Alabama, which is certainly loaded for bear on offense

364
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: and outstanding on defense, versus Oklahoma, who is shockingly even

365
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: better than Alabama on offense and just doesn't really care

366
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: as much about defense. I like, I like how you.

367
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: Said this is philosophical, Like Oklahoma's like, yeah, we don't

368
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: want to be good at defense.

369
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: Our philosophy. I want to be good. I'm to the

370
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: point where I'm wondering if that isn't the plan. If

371
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 1: the plan isn't, who cares if they score. But if

372
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: we get three stops or two turnovers or one big

373
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: play in the red zone, is that enough to give

374
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: us an extra possession? Is the defense is playing FIFA there?

375
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: It's actually yeah, Okay, I'm wondering if that's their strategy.

376
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: I think they want to be good. I think they

377
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: want to make stops and get picks and turn over

378
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: their opponents.

379
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: But only three times a game? Dan, sure, only three

380
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: times a game. So, as I said, Bama defending champ,

381
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: number one team in the country, squaring off against Kyler

382
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: Murray his Heisman trophy. Crazy offense, not so crazy a defense.

383
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: The points spread here, as I said, is fourteen and

384
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: the over under for this game is seventy nine. So

385
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 1: Vegas thinking a lot of points as well. Since I

386
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: talked to everyone's ear off with the first game, where

387
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: do you come down on the Orange Bowl here?

388
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I think you're one thousand percent

389
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: right that this is just in terms of the entertainment possibilities.

390
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 2: And I noted this on Twitter. These are the first

391
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: two teams in a long time, if not ever, to

392
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 2: average four points per drive against FBS teams, and that's

393
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 2: taking out garbage time to face each other. So this

394
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: is the absolute height of huge offenses playing on a

395
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 2: big stage. So I could not be more excited. The

396
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: path to me is pretty simple. First of all, I

397
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 2: don't know what Tua's ankle is going to look like

398
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: in real, live, huge college football action. It's one thing

399
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: for you know your ankle to heal enough so you

400
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: can run a five k. But to a staring down

401
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 2: a still, I was going to say, good defense a

402
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: still eleven guys who are athletic and big and can

403
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 2: hurts everybody in this way, Dan yes and force him

404
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: into pain.

405
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: That is that is a huge.

406
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: Question to me. So the path for Oklahoma is a

407
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: lot like what they look like against Texas and West

408
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 2: Virginia and knowing that they're going to get up points

409
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: and yards and drives whatever, but taking chances blitzing to

410
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 2: flush to a from the pocket and enforce him to

411
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 2: make plays with his feet or throw on the run

412
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: and prove that a lot. And that's what Georgia was

413
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 2: able to take advantage of when he was not able

414
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: to because of his health. So they need to manifest, manifest,

415
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: they need to manufacture that's the word, turnover opportunities because

416
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 2: otherwise it will be nearly impossible for this Oklahoma defense

417
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: to play the tides straight up. And so they need

418
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 2: a combination of the turnover number being zero point zero

419
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: when they have the ball and probably need to force

420
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: two turnovers from Alabama to just have a shot of

421
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 2: winning this game in a shootout otherwise real tough for

422
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 2: me to see. I like that Oklahoma has a really

423
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 2: strong offensive line. I think they just won the Joe

424
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 2: More Award given to the best collective offensive line. It's

425
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: like an eight hundred pound trophy. So when you look

426
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 2: back at the teams that have had success against Alabama,

427
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: it's having that experience offensive line. Whether it was Ole Miss,

428
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 2: whether it was Texas A and M Johnny Manziel, whether

429
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: it's you know, Clemson with their offensive line that they

430
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: had uh protecting Deshaun Watson.

431
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: I love that's a bill. Well, you know what, and

432
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: you bring up a really good part. I mean to

433
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 1: cut you off, but no, you're good. They do have

434
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: one of college football's best offensive lines, just won the award.

435
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: They have a nice stable of running backs that have

436
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: developed despite Rodney Anderson being out for the year. Most importantly,

437
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: they've got the mobile quarterback with a strong arm. They've

438
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: got playmaking receivers. Maybe not as big as we saw

439
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: on like some of those old Texas A and M teams,

440
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: but still they're really good. They're very dangerous in space,

441
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: and we know that Alabama has been prone to giving

442
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: up some big plays this year. There are a lot

443
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 1: of checks in the boxes next to the formula that

444
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: we've kind of identified over the last I don't know

445
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: ten years or so for how you beat this Nick

446
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: Saban Alabama team, or if you want to give yourself

447
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: a chance to beat this Nick Saban team. I think

448
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: they've got the playmakers on offense. I don't know if

449
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: they're balanced enough on defense. They have to hope that

450
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: they get into that shootout and that maybe they can,

451
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: as you said, turnover Alabama two three times and try

452
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: to get a few extra possessions. Here's my thing. You're

453
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: right onto a curious to see how he looks, how

454
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: the ankle is, and I don't know if it really

455
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: matters if it's him or Jalen Hurts. They're both excellent.

456
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: To his difference a little bit off fence, so they're different,

457
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: but they're both excellent. For me, it's which defense do

458
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: I trust more to create those turnovers? Because I think

459
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: both teams might find themselves playing a similar style on defense. Sure,

460
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I trust Alabama's defense without question.

461
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: Well, Alabama's defense can dominate without turning. You know, Oklahoma

462
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 2: over so against power five teams. Oklahoma in eleven games

463
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: turned they gained eight turnovers, and Alabama in those they

464
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: played how many games against power five teams, It's right,

465
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: ten games they had even more, they gained seventeen. So

466
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Alabama on in total, in total whatever, did a better

467
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: job of flipping the field.

468
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 1: Damma can dominate with their defense. They've been dominating all year.

469
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't think they necessarily dominate in this game, And

470
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: that's why I think they find themselves playing to a

471
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: similar philosophy, strategy, ineptitude, whatever you want to call it,

472
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 1: that we've seen from Oklahoma. I think we might see

473
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: almost two birds of a feather in this football game,

474
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: depending on how much success Kyler Murray and the Sooners

475
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: have on offense.

476
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 2: How long into this game. I don't know who's calling

477
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: this game, and I don't care to look it up

478
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: that much because it doesn't really matter. But how long

479
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 2: into this game will we get either the play by

480
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: play broadcaster or the analyst saying something like, you know,

481
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 2: Alabama has traditionally struggled with dual threat quarterbacks.

482
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: You mean Mike.

483
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: Everybody ever has struggled with transcendent Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks. Yes,

484
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: Alabama happens to be a college football team of which

485
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: everyone struggles with a guy who can run crazy fast

486
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: and throw the ball sixty five yards on a rope.

487
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: So that will happen one hundred percent? Will you pick

488
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 2: in here? I think I'm gonna go Oklahoma. I don't

489
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: think they went out right, but I think you're right

490
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: in terms of I think to kill Oklahoma would mean

491
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: I mean, killing Oklahoma means winning by more than fourteen

492
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: because of this offense. And I just don't see Kyler Murray,

493
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: who has been huge on every stage that he's been

494
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 2: on this year, even with a couple of early mistakes

495
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 2: in some bigger games. I just think he shows out.

496
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 2: I just think he is a big game player. And

497
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: the defense is not good enough to win this game

498
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 2: for the Sooners. I have Alabama by ten to eleven

499
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 2: points here like forty one to thirty three somewhere in that,

500
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: you know, forty two, thirty two, So pressing up against

501
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: double digits. But I think it's gonna be all sorts

502
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: of fun. And you're right, it's too many points and

503
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: just the worst thing in this game is just too clear.

504
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: It is just too clear. And that is if it's

505
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: too that at sixty five percent, that is, if Tua

506
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: rolls his ankle and Jalen Hurts has to go, it

507
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 2: is it's too much Alabama in every phase. So that's

508
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: where I'm going. I'm taking the points in both of

509
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: these playoff games. We agree agree on this one. I

510
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: can't wait.

511
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: They get a gift suite, a tour no watch, okay,

512
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: a personalized bobblehead of each student athlete, and a sling bag. Dan.

513
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: That's pretty good. And I saw that. Did you see

514
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: the uh the bobbles of Tua and Kyler Murray? I

515
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 2: did not, Okay, So I saw those on Twitter. Somebody

516
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: posted them, and they are about seven thousand percent better

517
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: than remember the Christiano Ronaldo one that was super weird looking.

518
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: These.

519
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's like a new three D

520
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: laser printed whatever version of a customized bobblehead or bus,

521
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: but these actually looked pretty spot on. So hopefully that

522
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: carries over to everybody on the team. But I would

523
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 2: imagine there is a long snapper who is going to

524
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: look like he's a little bit melty. That's right, that's right,

525
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: it's going to happen. And yeah, this sling bag is nice.

526
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: That's fine.

527
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Let's move on. Yeah, let's go to the Chick fil

528
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: A Peach Bowl in Mercedes Benz Stadium in Hotlanta. They're

529
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: also playing this one on Saturday, the twenty ninth, twelve

530
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: pm Eastern on ESPN. We've got Florida at nine and three.

531
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: We've got Michigan at ten and two. Michigan's a seven

532
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. Notable here, Michigan's going to

533
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: be without Rashaun Gary, their talented defensive lineman. They're going

534
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: to be without Devin Bush, he's not star linebacker. They're

535
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: going to be without Karan Higden, their primary running back.

536
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: All are out of this Bowl game. Just something to

537
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: keep in mind. That's a lot of firepower Dan. It

538
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 1: is good Michigan team, well rounded, but it's a lot I.

539
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: Think without Aubrey Solomon as well, who I saw today

540
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 2: announced that he's transferring to Tennessee to be a little

541
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: bit closer to where he's from.

542
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you think that there's a motivation gap in

543
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: this game?

544
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I absolutely do. Michigan on the precipice on the edge.

545
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: We talked about this a little bit a show or

546
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 2: two ago and Florida in year one. This is gravy,

547
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,920
Speaker 2: This is house money to get to a New Year's

548
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,959
Speaker 2: six game, playing a huge stadium in Atlanta. I definitely

549
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 2: think there is. And Michigan's bull record hasn't been the best.

550
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: This is an opponent that Michigan has sort of proven

551
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 2: itself pretty well against recently. So even though it's a

552
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 2: huge bowl game, even though Michigan has addressed a lot

553
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 2: of what has ailed it previously, looking at Shaye Patterson

554
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: and what he has given to this offense and the

555
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: advancement of this offensive line. In terms of strict motivation, Yes,

556
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: that all said.

557
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: Does it matter? Is my follow up? Quest.

558
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: Michigan's better and they can win this game, and they

559
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: can win this game thirteen to ten, maybe they won't cover.

560
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. That doesn't really bother me. I'm full

561
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: confidence mode right now. If it's not the playoff, I

562
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 2: am pretty certain that I would be the most nervous

563
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 2: fan if I were a Florida fan watching Felipe Franks

564
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 2: throw into this Michigan defense, even without some huge names. Yeah,

565
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: I think that that's what would make me the most nervous.

566
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: They're good enough even without some of those guns to

567
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: I think make his life a living hell.

568
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of talent still on that defense,

569
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: especially upfront. Florida can run the ball pretty well. It's

570
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: just it's a bad matchup for Florida. And I know

571
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,719
Speaker 2: Florida finished the season, I mean, outside of the Missouri

572
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: game pretty well, and there's a lot to like about

573
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: Florida moving forward if they can find that quarterback. But

574
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: this Florida defense is not where recent Florida defenses have

575
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,959
Speaker 2: been in terms of talent, in terms of production. So

576
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: I'm along with Michigan. I think Florida covers. I think

577
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 2: it's ugly. I think we get like a seventeen thirteen game.

578
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: I got Michigan in thirty two confidence points on this one.

579
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me load my confidence So I agree with you.

580
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: I think there is a motivation gap, and I think

581
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: think it does work to Florida's favor that they're super young,

582
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: they're trying to reestablish themselves now under Dan Mullen. I

583
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: think they'll play hard in this game. But you're right,

584
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Michigan's just better. The numbers according to Bill c his

585
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: SMP numbers have Florida as the twenty seventh best offense

586
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: in the country. I trust his numbers, but I've watched

587
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: enough of Florida to know that what they're trotting out there,

588
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: even though it's gotten better, that is not good enough

589
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 1: to beat this Michigan defense. And you know this isn't

590
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: like Ohio State against Michigan. This is a team that

591
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 1: scored six points against Mississippi State. In any case, Michigan wins.

592
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: I think they win going away, and I think it's

593
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: by thirty two confidence points.

594
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 2: Wow, Michigan's the thing that you if you like Florida

595
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, let's travel. And it's also Michigan away

596
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: from home offensively in particular. So you have a nice

597
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: win against Rutgers, you have the weird game. Weird that's

598
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: a very nice term for what they did against Ohio

599
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 2: State and Northwestern was certainly not the jump started offense

600
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 2: that I think people are expecting it, and Notre Dame

601
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: wise not not. I think they scored one of those

602
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: touchdowns on a kick return. So offensively, it's been on

603
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: the road pretty uneven at best for Michigan. All Right,

604
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 2: we have twenty one, twenty one confidence points in Michigan here, all.

605
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: Right, before we move on to the next bowl game, Dan.

606
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one is I have mixed feelings about this.

607
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 2: What you're about to do?

608
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 1: They get a three hundred dollars I almost said fan

609
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: cred gift card, A fan card gift card. I don't

610
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: know what that is.

611
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 2: I'm looking it up right now, fan card. It is

612
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: a prepaid master card. Okay, okay, that's fine, that's great.

613
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: Sure, a Fossil Watch, a Mophy power Station XL, which

614
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: is one of the lovable batteries, give me all that juice,

615
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: and Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker third Gen throw it out,

00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: and day Football.

617

Speaker 2: garbage bracket on voice activation.

619
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: I agree with you that it's garbage, but it does

620
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: have some utility, I will say that.

621
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: And we're certainly not being paid by a whatever, a competitor,

622
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: not a Amazon Echo.

623
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

624
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: As soon as those stories started popping up, like yeah,

625
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: they're listening to everything and they're sending it to random

626
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: people like oh, okay, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna pass.

627
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna pass on the whole voice activation

628
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: in Amazon.

629
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: I turned my light song with it. It's great. Oh,

630
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 1: I think it's cool. In theory that was.

631
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: I saw a story in Germany that somebody requested you

632
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: can request your Amazon data in Europe under some privacy law,

633
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: and he received seventeen hundred wave files. And it turns

634
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: out the seventeen hundred wave files were of somebody else

635
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: because he doesn't even have an Amazon Echo.

636
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: Okay, nice.

637
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: So if you are playing in this game, Florida Michigan player,

638
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: congrats on a great season. Take home the MOFY, take

639
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: home the the credit card, the watch, whatever, the football,

640
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: you know, leave a little behind. In Atlanta, I like

641
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: the Echo Dot. I'm fine with it and fine with it.

642
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: Eat in Atlanta at Heirloom Barbique Airloom Market, barbecue Great

643
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: Great Barbecue or Pont City Market really cool food Haull

644
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 2: type situation.

645
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: To the to the Belk Bowl. We go, Yes, Adam

646
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: A mean game. Adam A mean game. Bank of America

647
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: Stadium in Charlotte. It's between South Carolina and Virginia, both

648
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: teams seven and five. South Carolina a five and a

649
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: half point favorite. These teams both get a shopping trip

650
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: to a Belk department store and a fossil watch got bad.

651
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: You got options there, so that works.

652
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do maybe some post Christmas shopping, holiday

653
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: shopping at Belk, get some some loved ones, some solid clothing.

654
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: I'd be great. Deebo, Samuel our boy will not be

655
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: playing in this game for South Carolina is going to

656
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: be siss one out. I think the records are quite

657
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: deceiving here, Dan.

658
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: Oh, dude, I throw them out.

659
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: I think, well, I don't know if you throw them out.

660
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: I think they kind of negate themselves because they're both

661
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 1: the same at seven and five, right, But I think

662
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: South Carolina is a lot better than their record. And

663
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: on the flip side, I think you really need to

664
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: squint to find impressive wins on Virginia's resume. Okay, so

665
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is that seven and five for South

666
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: Carolina means a lot more than the seven and five

667
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: when I see it next to Virginia. I think the

668
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: game Cocks has shown all year that they're going to

669
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: fight you, and they're not going to take this one off.

670
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: I think they can stop Bryce Perkins. I think they're

671
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: gonna win this game, probably close, maybe ugly. But I've

672
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: got twenty three on South Carolina here outright.

673
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: Twenty three. It goes against my points for drive defense theory,

674
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 2: Virginia the better defense, and it is actually a really

675
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: good matchup for Virginia. They to me have the clear

676
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 2: better defense with as much as teams were running on

677
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: South Carolina, and they proved to have a pretty efficient offense,

678
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 2: not explosive, but they moved the ball pretty consistently downfield

679
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 2: both through the air to my guy, Olamide z Achias guy,

680
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 2: and South Carolina's defense can be nickeled and dimed. You

681
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 2: can run on him, you can throw them a little

682
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 2: bit short. So I actually liked the matchup quite a

683
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: bit for the who's which is why I said all

684
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: I want for Christmas is Who's and I just feel

685
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: good about it. And also, if you look at South

686
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: Carolina's schedule, did you watch the Office Tie? Yeah, you

687
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: remember the all time perhaps the best episode of the

688
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: series ever, the dinner Party episode. Yeah, just the best

689
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 2: of the best of the best.

690
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 1: Uh huh, a little awkward, but yeah.

691
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: They're talking about Michael Scott's vasectomy and his girlfriend said

692
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 2: she didn't want kids. He got a vasectomy, then she

693
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: said she did want kids. He reversed the vasectomy then

694
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 2: and he did that snip snap, snip snap. Here's South

695
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 2: Carolina season win loss win loss win loss win win

696
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 2: loss win, loss win, which makes us do for I

697
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 2: guess a loss a snip snap. So the Michael Scott

698
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: theory is at play here.

699
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: You compared South Carolina to a vasectomy.

700
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 2: Nice, Well, what's their nickname?

701
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: Tie? There are the game? No right?

702
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 2: Oh, Ty, you confidently walked into that one. So yes,

703
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 2: I am going with the Who's here, and I am

704
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 2: going to proudly and confidently declare that if you're going

705
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 2: to the Belk Bowl, go find yourself at Fudo Buddha

706
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: for Ramen. I've recommended it for acc championship games for

707
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 2: random games in Charlotte. It is some of the best

708
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,439
Speaker 2: ramen I've ever had. Great Brussels sprouts, get some sam

709
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,959
Speaker 2: and Nigherri. It's it's a wonderful, wonderful meal. Go there,

710
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: and I hope by now I can get a free

711
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: meal for promoting it as much as I have.

712
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: The Nova Home Alone's Arizona Bowl Den.

713
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, what are they walking away with?

714
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: Tie? Walking away with a ghost Tech backpack with a

715
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: power bank in external USB port. That's the dream, right.

716
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: You also get Beats buds, which is very tough to say.

717
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm assuming those are wireless earbuds. Okay, you get a

718
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: fire Kindle with the built in Alexa Dan, just for you.

719
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: You lost me after Kindle itself is good. The hydro flask,

720
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 1: the cooling towel, and Freedom lay products in each bag. Dan.

721
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, ty. In terms of the not

722
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 2: major bowl games, you're walking away with a backpack that

723
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: charges your things, your phones and electronics.

724
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 1: Which, by the way, I don't think you can take

725
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: on planes. But that's neither here nor there, is that true?

726
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: I think? So?

727
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you can take a backpack and you can

728
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: take a power bank, but you can't take one with

729
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: it built in.

730
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: You can't do it in luggage when it's built into luggage.

731
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: So I'm assuming that extends too interesting.

732
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get headphones, you get your kindle. You could

733
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 2: probably turn off Alexa. By the way, I by the

734
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: fact that we just said that name. I apologize if

735
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: that activated something in your living room. If you're listening

736
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 2: to this show on a speaker, you get hydration and

737
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 2: you get chips.

738
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: TI.

739
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: I am going to shout out the Arizona Bowl for

740
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: doing things right down in.

741
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: Tucson, Tucson. That's right at Arizona Stadium. It's between Arkansas

742
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 1: State at eight and four Nevada seven and five. Arkansas

743
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: State a slight one and a half point favorite the

744
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 1: Red Wolves DAN. They've won their last four games. Statistically,

745
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: they are the better team, especially on offense. I don't

746
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: have a high degree of confidence in this one, but

747
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: I do like Arkansas State, So give me the Red

748
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: Wolves to the tune of seven confidence points here.

749
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, both of these teams played arguably their easiest stretch

750
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,439
Speaker 2: in November. Stretches in November. I thought Arkansas State showed

751
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,479
Speaker 2: out a little bit better than.

752
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: Nevada, Nevada, Nevada.

753
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 2: I'm going to get mail. Yeah, the red Wolves held

754
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 2: everybody they played under twenty points in November. I I'm

755
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 2: going to take Arkansas eight, even though Blake Anderson's Bowl

756
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: record has not been the best, but still give me

757
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: the Red Wolves here.

758
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: Moving on to the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumming. Yeah,

759
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: I mean I don't have it. I don't think I

760
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: have a Tucson No. No.

761
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 2: Two recommendation. There's probably an in and out there that's good.

762
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: They play this one at Memorial Stadium, Innnapolis, Maryland. It's

763
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: on Monday, the thirty first. It is New Year's Eve? Dan,

764
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: What are you doing for New Year's Eve? We've talked

765
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: about this, haven't we.

766
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 2: I know we're both not We're both a thousand years

767
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 2: old and not believers in New Year's Eve. You just

768
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 2: like get an s faced at home alone.

769
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: I know, of course, Cincinnati ten and two, Virginia Tech

770
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: six and six, Bearcat's six point favorite. Listen, Okay, how

771
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: many eyes are and listen? Somebody asked us that it's

772
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 1: at least at least five. Yeah, that's I'm in the

773
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: back of my head. I'm saying it with five. You

774
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: never want to look a gift horse in the mouth.

775
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: M h. I'm as big a fan of free stuff

776
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: as anybody here, certainly free electronics, certainly devices that deliver

777
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 1: stunning seven twenty P picture quality.

778
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: Dan okay, but.

779
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: I looked up, of course, you did the Dell mobile

780
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: projector M thirty one p eight WL that is being

781
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: awarded for being a participant in this bowl matchup, the

782
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: Military Bowl, And I just this is the kind of

783
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: thing that you rent when you accidentally pick the wrong

784
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: conference room that doesn't have a projector is it garbage?

785
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: Why in the world would you want this thing?

786
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 2: Why what makes it not appealing?

787
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: Well, first off, they're making ones now that are really small,

788
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,319
Speaker 1: like the size of a coke can.

789
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I've seen those, and I think ones.

790
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: That deliver better picture quality. This is like a deluxe

791
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: office projector that you would see at any conference room

792
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: in any corporation or any small business in America. So

793
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: if you were taking like.

794
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 2: A some sort of course in an office, like if

795
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 2: you were doing a like a sexual harassment seminar, that's right,

796
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 2: there would be slides popping up on this M three

797
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: to eighteen WL that's correct.

798
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't understand it. Okay, they also get them

799
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars a mix gift card, I Slide Sandals

800
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Houll Eye slide. Hey, all right, does this seem to

801
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 1: you like a mismatcher? Is it just me? I mean?

802
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: I like Cincinnati here because of their defense. Virginia Tech

803
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: was pretty clearly and consistently below average.

804
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,280
Speaker 1: They finished the season.

805
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 2: They actually win their last couple games, but one of

806
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 2: that it's the Virginia game, which is a great win

807
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 2: every year obviously for the Hokies and Marshall, which now

808
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: it's a Bowl winning team. So two decent enough wins,

809
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 2: but they lose four in a row before that. Cincinnati

810
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 2: finishes the season winning four or five, I believe, and

811
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 2: their biggest loss was to the twenty seventeen National champion,

812
00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:59,399
Speaker 2: So hard to really fault the Bearcats there. So I'm

813
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 2: going to Cincinnati. I think they move the ball well

814
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 2: enough on offense and really just an electric defense. Not

815
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 2: a good formula for the Hokies here in what Annapolis.

816
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: Annapolis Maryland Memorial Stadium. Yeah, you're right, Cincinnati, they're way

817
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: better on defense. They're super young, which I always like

818
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: in a Bowl setting twenty eight confidence points. Give me

819
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 1: the Bearcats. Do you like that?

820
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: This is the that Northrop Grumman is presented after the

821
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,439
Speaker 2: bowl name, So it's clear that it's like, you don't

822
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: have to call it the Northrop Grumman Military because that

823
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: feels very icky, and so they change the wording arounds.

824
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,839
Speaker 1: Probably smart. That's what they do with the Rose Bowl.

825
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: There are a couple other games like that too.

826
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense those but I think those are

827
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: for the prestige of not having Visio or whoever's doing

828
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: the Rose Bowl now before the Visio Rose Bowl. But

829
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 2: this is it feels different.

830
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,439
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Hyundai Sun Bowl.

831
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 2: Dan don't have food RECs in Anapolis.

832
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: Just never been Monday, New Year's Eve, CBS. Pitt is

833
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: back in this game. I can't believe it.

834
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: Of course they are. Did you see the Oral History?

835
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: I saw the Oral History. Oh it's wonderful, wonderfully done.

836
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: Stanford is eight and four, Pitt is seven and six,

837
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: The Cardinal is six and a half point favorite. Here

838
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: they get a gift suite a time. We watch a

839
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: Majestic Fleece pullover and Ogo Excelsior backpack, an under armour

840
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: cap in a coin. Okay, of note here, Bryce Love

841
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: not playing for the Cardinal. Pitt is not good, Dan,

842
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 1: They are not good, but they do get up for

843
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: big games and Stanford, as you know, is just very average.

844
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: Does Pit get up for big games this season? Work

845
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: with me here, okay, please, because I just work with

846
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 1: me Dan recently. Somebody's got to get ratings for this

847
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 1: game for CBS. Okay, you would think, but this is

848
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: going to play to Stanford's favor because Pitt's stinks on

849
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: offense and they just want a run, run, run, run, run.

850
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: Stanford's usually pretty good at defending the run, except for

851
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: this year. They're not as good this year as they

852
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: have been in the past. I am going to go Cardinal.

853
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: I still think they're a lot more consistent. Even though

854
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: they weren't their usual self this season. There really aren't

855
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: any bad losses on the resume, so provided Pitt doesn't

856
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 1: pull a rabbit out of its at Stanford twenty one

857
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: confidence points.

858
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,359
Speaker 2: I have Stanford as well. My confidence level is it

859
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: appears eighteen, so we're pretty Simpotti Couch, we agree, And

860
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 2: first of all, I could use an Ohio backpack. I

861
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 2: know you've been very happy with yours, right, very happy. Okay,

862
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: So I'm always in the market, not a sponsor, not

863
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: a sponsor, not a sponsor. I would say to your

864
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 2: point that Pitt plays for games. They still lost to

865
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: Miami and Clemson combined sixty six to thirteen.

866
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: So there's there's that.

867
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 2: I've been cramping up towards the finish line. They're that

868
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 2: the Gatorade commercial guy who is really just struggling the

869
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 2: Stanford rush defense against Pitt's running attack and two really

870
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 2: good running backs. Is okay, But this Cardinal team wins

871
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: and loses through the air. If you're gonna beat Stanford,

872
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 2: you got to be able to throw. If you are

873
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 2: going to lose to Stanford, it's probably because you cannot

874
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: jump as high as their trees out wide can jump.

875
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: I just Pit ain't that team. So I'm going with

876
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 2: the Cardinal here.

877
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: And finally on today and H eh and h eh

878
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: and h H and H and.

879
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: L pass so I believe is a car wash and

880
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 2: a text Mes place, breakfast and lunch go to there.

881
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: Finally on today's show the Red Box Bowl, Dan Yes

882
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: play this one in Levi Stadium in Santa Clara. It

883
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: is between your Oregon Ducks at eight and four and

884
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: the Michigan State Spartans at seven and five, also on

885
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve. This one is on Fox. I have

886
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: a question for you, a very real question, and it

887
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: does not pertain to this game, As with all my

888
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,400
Speaker 1: burning questions this time of year, it pertains to the

889
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: gift package here.

890
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm ready.

891
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: So they get a fossil watch, they get a Timbuck

892
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: two backpack, they get headphones, they get other assorted red

893
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: Box Bowl merchandise. They get a Roku. They also get

894
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: a Roku dan, which I find puzzling because red Box

895
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: is one of those machines outside of the grocery store

896
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: where you go and you get your DVD in a

897
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 1: little cardboard envelope, you go home, you pop it in

898
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: the DVD player, and that's how you watch your movies.

899
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:48,320
Speaker 1: Roku seemingly is a competitor of some kind to red Box.

900
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: Roku is built around the streaming economy. So wouldn't it

901
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: sort of put themselves out of business to offer a

902
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:01,439
Speaker 1: free Roku to the participants of your own Bowl game. Tie.

903
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 2: I've done some research these last eight seconds while you

904
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: were speaking, So listen, Liz, red Box is making the

905
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 2: move to streaming, okay, red Box hasn't half available on

906
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: the Roku okay, where you can stream movies. I assume

907
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: you pay like your whatever two bucks to have it

908
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: for twenty four hours and then it'll self implode or

909
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 2: whatever happens digitally. So that's what's happening with red Box

910
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,080
Speaker 2: and Roku for anybody interested and perhaps does not have

911
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,879
Speaker 2: one of those machines in a supermarket near them.

912
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: I was worried that red Box was going to go

913
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: the way a Blockbuster here and that this Bowl game

914
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 1: was going to be renamed after one or two years.

915
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,760
Speaker 2: Did blockbust Blockbuster at a streaming service for a minute.

916
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 2: I think they tried, but it was they tried when Netflix.

917
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 2: When Netflix started denting the market and Blockbuster physical brick

918
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: and mortar stores started closing. Blockbuster definitely tried to get

919
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 2: in on that, and it was too late. It was

920
00:47:58,320 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 2: just too late.

921
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: They play this one in Levi Stadium a full week

922
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: before the National Championship, so it's sort of like the

923
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: JV game. And I say that lovingly towards your Oregon

924
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: Ducks and Michigan State Spartans. What is your readout on

925
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,240
Speaker 1: this game. I tried to look up if Brian Lilwork

926
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,879
Speaker 1: he's gonna play. It's still a little bit unclear where

927
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: do you come down in this game.

928
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 2: These two teams actually recently had a home and home,

929
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 2: right They played both I think fourteen and fifteen Vernon

930
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: Adams game in fifteen twenty fourteen with Mariota, so they're

931
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 2: familiar with each other, Big Pich. I don't know how

932
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 2: many players in the game actually played in those games.

933
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: But Oregon finishes the season winning three of four. A

934
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 2: lighter ish sort of November, they looked mostly okay, but

935
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: had the ability to generate some bigger plays. Certainly Justin

936
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 2: Herbert and Dylan Mitchell have an impressive connection. Defensively took

937
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 2: a step back this year. Michigan State finishes the year

938
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 2: losing two of three, and in those games averaged and

939
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 2: ty I busted out a calculator for this one. Yeah,

940
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 2: if you can count to eight point six, you know

941
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 2: the answer. There was some gnarly weather involved, definitely at

942
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 2: the end of Michigan State season, but they weren't scoring

943
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 2: all that much before then, so obviously the height of

944
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 2: Michigan State's here was winning at Penn State. In a

945
00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 2: game that should be buried into the Earth's core. It

946
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: was not a fun watch, really not great. So Michigan

947
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 2: State with a good defense, for sure is it's tough

948
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 2: to bet against them against an inconsistent team. But I'm

949
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: going to because the Sparti offense is capable and has

950
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,719
Speaker 2: shown itself to be basically fully inept shown itself to be.

951
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: One hundred and fourteenth in the nation. Yes, quarterback questionable.

952
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 2: I know they're missing their best corner on defense who

953
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 2: declared early and will be skipping this game. You know,

954
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: all the pageantry of the Red Bull aside. I'm taking Oregon.

955
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: They should have the better crowd if they can actually

956
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:04,359
Speaker 2: get to Santa Clara. If anybody going to this game

957
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 2: is in San Francisco, grab a pizza at Del Popolo.

958
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 2: It's actually my I think it's my Twitter header picture.

959
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 2: It was great, really good small plates as well. I

960
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 2: feel like a good sun choke something along those lines.

961
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: Son, what sun choke? A sun choke? What the hell

962
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: is a sun choke? Do you not know? What? Have

963
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: you never had a sun choke?

964
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: I think.

965
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: Sunchoke is a vegetable. It's a.

966
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: It might be related to it's like a trying to fit.

967
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: It sort of looks like maybe a you know what

968
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 2: a ginger root looks like, so like very earthy. Sure,

969
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: I want to say, yeah, I think it's it's in

970
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 2: the It's an artichoke cousin and they they fried it

971
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: up when I went there last year and it was

972
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:48,240
Speaker 2: it was outstanding. So Del Popolo was a good pizza

973
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 2: option in San Francisco. I'm going with Oregon here. My

974
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 2: confidence level is I think around eight points. I will

975
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: verify right now. My confidence level for this game is

976
00:50:58,200 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: eleven points for Oregon.

977
00:50:59,800 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: I've I've got Oregon. I've got six points on it.

978
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's about anything more than fifteen seems

979
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 2: like a stretch.

980
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: We agree, So there you go. It is Bold preview

981
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,479
Speaker 1: number four, our playoff preview number one. I guess number

982
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: one and two if you want to get technical with it.

983
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: I am very excited for this playoff matchup. For those

984
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: of you who are on the Twitter, we will be

985
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: live tweeting this. I will be from my account so

986
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:30,840

Speaker 1: follow the solverbal account, but I will be watching this

988
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,360
Speaker 1: game with Mama Age probably about five minutes in breathing

989
00:51:37,400 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: into a paper bag, which is what we usually do.

990
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: But if you're interested in live tweeting as the game's

991

Speaker 1: going on, please look me up.

992
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 2: Okay, because this is not the longest show we've ever done, right, No,

993
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how what are we at? Like forty

994
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 2: five to fifty minutes? Somewhere in that zone.

995
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're at.

996
00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 2: Fifty six okay, because you sort of cut me off

997
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 2: as I was Christmas plans, because that's still in the

998
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,680
Speaker 2: future from when we're posting this show.

999
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: That Yes, yes, we're still in the four and a

1000
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:09,280
Speaker 1: half dimension.

1001
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, So this show will be posted on Sunday

1002
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,879
Speaker 2: the twenty third, so two days out of Christmas, unless

1003
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 2: there's like a nuclear holocaust, which you know what, glad

1004
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 2: we could go down with you sure. First of all,

1005
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 2: because you mentioned you're gonna be watching the playoff with Mama.

1006
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: H is that is solid? Wife Kate?

1007
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:29,320
Speaker 2: Any like cousins, Uncle Joe. What is the full watching

1008
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:32,959
Speaker 2: situation plan for the playoff and games on that day?

1009
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,320
Speaker 1: We have not made full plans at this moment, okay,

1010
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 1: but all I know right now the bedrock of the

1011
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 1: watch situation will be me up at Mama H's yelling

1012
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: at the TV with her.

1013
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: Will you make a request meatballs, Canoli's, anything like that?

1014
00:52:50,719 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 2: Is there a lucky food? You're superstitious. I am superstitious,

1015
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:56,760
Speaker 2: and you get some of that coal fire pizza.

1016
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: I could do the coal fire pizza. Say the superstition,

1017
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 1: though that I quickly ditched after. I think the last

1018
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: two years I had an old Brady Quinn jersey that

1019
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 1: I would put on sometimes to try and wake up

1020
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: the echoes. It never really worked, so I stopped doing

1021
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: that this year, and now they're twelve and zero. You

1022
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: know what you probably need. You probably need a half

1023
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn right, the Laura Quinn jersey. You need the

1024
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,759
Speaker 1: Laura Quinn jersey for him luck Okay, but no, no

1025
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: situation beyond that. I would imagine that you and Jody

1026
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: with and I have crazy plans for the Red Box Bowl.

1027
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to Buckingham Palace.

1028
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: Okay.

1029
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 2: Now I think we're actually eating an early New Year's

1030
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: Eve dinner out in the middle of that game, and

1031
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 2: I don't know if I care all. Now I think

1032
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. I think I'm okay with catching

1033
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 2: up on the second half later for the playoff itself

1034
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,879
Speaker 2: for Saturday. So that's a really should be at least

1035
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: at times a fun Saturday of games. It starts at

1036
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 2: noon Florida, Michigan, so we'll be watching that. I'll make

1037
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 2: my dip that I make I made it last year,

1038
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 2: So this will be like a taco meat onions, cilantro,

1039
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 2: maybe a chipotle puree, melt some cheese on top, get

1040
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: some tortilla chips. Really really dig into what's the twenty ninth?

1041
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah? These games nin? Okay?

1042
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 2: As for New Year's Eve, Yeah, we're gonna get some

1043
00:54:17,719 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: get some dinner with some friends, and early on they

1044
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 2: have kids. So that's that's the plan then, which brings

1045
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 2: us to this tie Christmas. Yeah, have you done any

1046
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 2: more shopping since we last spoke?

1047
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: No? I haven't. I haven't done it. Dan.

1048
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: Do you know do you have an idea of what

1049
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 2: you're going to do? You're doing this? Where where is

1050
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 2: the where's the celebration happening?

1051
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: The celebration on Christmas Eve will be up at mom H's, okay,

1052
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: and Christmas Day. Christmas Day will be down with solid

1053
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: wife Kate's family. But I will say that there's a

1054
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: lot of shopping that remains presumably solid. Wife Kate and

1055
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: I will be knocking it out. Perhaps are you doing

1056
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: it all online? I can't do it online at this point.

1057
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: I know, how do you do in malls? How do

1058
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: I do in malls?

1059
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? Are you patients?

1060
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: No? Okay, no, no? No?

1061
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 2: Are there any Christmas traditions? Meals treats? I mean you

1062
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 2: told me the seven fishes, We do the seven fishes.

1063
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 2: That's the Yeah, that's sort of the tradition. But will

1064
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 2: there be little kids around? They'll be a lot genuinely excited.

1065
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Sure.

1066
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: If you had to lay odds right now on somebody

1067
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: between ages of two and eight, which is prime age

1068
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:35,879
Speaker 2: for this, receiving a power Wheels, is there at least

1069
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: a chance?

1070
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's always a chance for power wheels. Let's

1071
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: be not for me, not.

1072
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,839
Speaker 2: From me, I think, I know, I understand, not from you,

1073
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,879
Speaker 2: but just in terms of like it's within the realm

1074
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 2: of possibility that somebody gets a little kid of power wheels.

1075
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: For Chris, there's always at the least day five percent

1076
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: chance that a little kid's going to get a power Wheels.

1077
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: I may have mentioned this years ago, but in terms

1078
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 2: of sub genres of YouTube videos. Kid power wheel bloopers

1079
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 2: are elite time the best. So I'm hoping for that

1080
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: for you because I will not be celebrating anything with
