It's 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:06.520 a spin off of the Jared Vennett sound from The 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:10.319 Big Short. We have taken this to an uncomfortable degree, 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:13.119 but yet we are very very excited about it. Give 0:01:13.160 --> 0:01:16.199 it a listen. As per usual, give us a holler 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.160 over adverballers dot Com or anywhere across social media.

I'm ready 0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.360 for Week five. I am ready for Week five. Remind 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.120 folks how the jacktracker works. I know there was some confusion. 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.280 I saw it in the chat, people saying jacktracker, But yes, 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:53.040 the Jacked tracker, Yes, past tense, Jacked does. What is 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.240 this metric, this very official metric that we have invented 0:01:56.280 --> 0:01:57.800 for this very ridiculous purpose. 0:01:58.200 --> 0:01:59.960 I think it's more of an adjective. You are Jack. 0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.920 So it is an easy premise that we are going 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.720 to react to each window and we are going to 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.640 buy a scale of It's Jared Bevennett technically the Ryan 0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:15.400 Gosling character from The Big Short. If it is a window. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.639 That one is paying attention. 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:19.960 Right that there's no reason to pay close attention to. 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:21.960 If it's the morning window there or not morning, but 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.240 if it's the midday window, the afternoon window, or the 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:30.200 evening window. If it's if there's opportunity for excitement, and 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:34.880 that is an opportunity, and then if you're fully convinced 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.080 that it's wall to wall action object to and so 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.919 that is our scale and there is little room for gray. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.080 We are dealing with absolutes and extremes on the Ryan 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:48.200 Gosling Jack Tracker. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.960 It's very syth like of you, Dan. We only deal 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:54.000 in absolutes here, absolutes when we're talking about the Ryan 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.760 Goslingjacktracker for week five. Okay, here is a quick look 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.360 at the blocks of games for the weekend. We are 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.079 going to rake that accordingly. We'll start in Friday. We're 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.239 doing the show on Thursday. There's a big and on Friday. Actually, 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.280 you really like the Friday slate, if memory serves, when 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.600 we did our preview show that you can find out 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:13.840 on soliburbo dot com or wherever you get your podcasts. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.880 We published that early on Thursday morning, ten thirty Eastern ESPN. 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:24.000 It is Washington traveling down to Ucla. Washington favored by 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.560 about three points. You actually like Ucla here, you're give 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.360 me like a one to three jacktrack on how you 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.600 feel about this particular matchup, not necessarily the full window 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:35.680 of games in Friday night. 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:39.600 I'm not in love with UCLA football. In twenty twenty two, 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:44.120 I'm not, but the heights of UCLA football and the 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.360 backfield at its best of UCLA football with dtr next 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.520 to Zach Sharboney at home late night. And I think 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.440 Washington fans are going to travel for this one because 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.920 you get to go southern California, you get to go 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.760 to the Rose Bowl, and the Lord knows, it's been 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.640 a minute since Washington has gone to the other version. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.600 Will anybody else be at the Rose Bowl though, that's 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:02.200 the question. Will there be twenty eight odd maybe more? 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.160 If you're playing in an unusually quiet stadium, that's a 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.840 different experience because honestly, this is Washington's first road trip, 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.080 is it not of the season? 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:11.560 Yep? 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.520 So they start with what Kent State, Portland State, Michigan State, 0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:18.840 and Stanford all in Seattle, so it's their first foray 0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:23.320 onto the road. And maybe it's odd. Maybe it's just 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:27.520 odd because the home stadium, you know what, rocking on 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:27.920 the Lake. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.400 I love this zag. This is potentially a zag that 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.320 UCLA could steer into because you remember during COVID when 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:35.640 there was no one in the stands. Some of the 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.320 players were like, yeah, that's weird. Yeah, we're just on 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.320 I'm not used to that off. Yeah, maybe they steer 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.160 into that, Dan, maybe that's their competitive advantage. Maybe Chipper 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.920 Chip Kelly, your boy Charles him Kelly, maybe he's figured 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:48.719 something out. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:52.840 Not to be so hyper local and specific with the comparison, 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.960 but there is difficulty in facing Jamie Moyer types, as 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.919 seattleites know. Yeah, and maybe the Rose Bowl, which is 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.920 eighth full for this matchup. I don't know how full 0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:04.760 it's going to be, but it's a big stadium for 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:08.719 a team that does not command big crowds. So yeah, 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.600 maybe there's something there that UCLA, even though again down season, 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.520 it's more of the situation specifics about the Bruins. I 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.880 understand you're concern, but they haven't lost and has been 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:18.560 all closing. 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.320 No, no, they're two undefeated teams to four and oo teams. 0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:24.920 Alexander in the chat, thank you for chiming in. ALEXANDERA 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:26.800 says he hopes UCLA people show up. Should be a 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.360 fun game. I agree, Cold in the chat says four 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.919 sideline tickets available for ninety nine dollars. 0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:36.479 Yeah, always available. The other thing is just in terms 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:41.360 of your belief system with lines is Washington has very 0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:45.200 clearly taken care of business more impressively than UCLA has 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.960 against subpar competition. Yeah, like the struggles early against Bowling Green, 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.960 obviously winning last second against South Alabama, all due respect 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:57.400 to the Jags, Washington has blown out everybody comfortably. One 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.360 and then the line is only two and a half 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.279 two and a half three point. 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.520 Depends where you look. Yeah, yeah, it's it's round around 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.160 and field goal. So okay, you're into this game. Shall 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:09.719 we move to the early block on Saturday? Shall we 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.360 just do this? I'm so ready? Shall we get this? 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:18.000 I want you to play our sound denoting optimum possible 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.080 jackedness for this window. Please at this, at this moment, 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.000 can you do that for me? O? Thank you, Dan. Yes, 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.680 twelve o'clock on Fox. We've got Michigan, We've got Iowa. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.920 Michigan's on the road. They're favored by eleven. We will 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.440 come back to that game momentarily. I promised you. Nice 0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:39.599 high noon, ABC Oklahoma minus six and a half on 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:45.400 the road at TCU. Interesting matchup, getting spicy, Yeah, spicy. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:49.960 Twelve o'clock ESPN Kentucky four and Oh Oh Miss four 0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:52.520 and O favored by a touchdown at home, favored by 0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:55.520 seven and then just throw this in as like a 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:59.880 nice little appetizer, a nice little adder, Big twelve Network 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:04.680 or ESPN plus whatever. That is Texas Tech fresh off 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.800 their big upset victory over Texas now on the road 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:11.440 against Kansas State, fresh off their upset victory over the 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.440 aforementioned Oklahoma Sooner as Yansas Kansas State favored by eight 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:19.960 point stand this is a loaded slate here, a loaded slate. 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:20.640 Really good. 0:07:20.920 --> 0:07:22.960 I am super jacked for this slate. 0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:28.840 Yeah, this one. It's nice because there's nothing unless you're 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:31.600 not a Purdue believer or an Illinois believer, I suppose, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:35.400 But there's nothing but what appears to be competitive teams 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.200 on the list that you just rattled off, right, Oh yeah, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:42.240 that everybody. Even if we have questions about TCU's defense 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.280 or Ole Misses passing game, or everything that Iowa attempts 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:51.080 to do on offense, or Adrian Martinez's consistency, or Illinois 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.960 and the schedule that they've played, there is a pretty 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:59.520 high competence floor overall with these teams, mostly because Iowa 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.760 can score touchdowns plural on defense. If that weren't the case, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.120 that'd be a problem. But there's the competitive nature of 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.880 this early window is sort of such that you got 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.240 to get on the couch early. 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:13.120 You just have to. Oh, Josh says here in the chat, 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:14.800 it's a fun window. It is a fun window. It's 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.440 fun as hell. Josh, I'm super excited to watch this 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.440 slate of games. I will not give away the tease. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.360 I know some people who are listening, who are in 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.560 the chat right now, they know where we stand on 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.480 the Michigan Iowa game. If you've looked at any of 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:33.000 our social media accounts in the last couple hours, it's 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:35.719 pretty well documented where we stand on the Michigan how 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:39.360 we disagree on the Michigan Iowa game. So we'll come 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:41.199 back to that when we play Tie versus the World. 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.000 But let's just say that it's a very interesting contest, 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.160 if only because of the contrasting styles here. Those contrasting 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:54.520 styles be being Iowa on defense versus offense. Right defense 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.960 first in scoring defense one hundred and thirty, first in 0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.880 scoring offense. You can go pretty much down the list. 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:05.839 Defense versus offense on the Iowa side is just comically 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:10.360 unbalanced Michigan. This is an interesting contest for Michigan, if 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.920 only because there's plenty of data to show that Iowa 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.680 at home in these big matchups like this, they hold 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.839 their own. Michigan of course, JJ McCarthy first road start 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:22.040 as starting quarterback for the Michigan Wolverine. So there's some 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.480 things to be concerned about on the Michigan side, and 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:25.880 we can talk about those a little bit later as 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.840 we get into the picks, because I feel very strongly 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:29.360 about my side of this thing. 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:32.240 But which is your volume game? 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:32.800 Like? 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.640 Which game? I don't know, if you're you know, multiple 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.720 TVs or you're gonna watch on a laptop or an 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:41.400 iPad or something like that, which one deserves the play 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:42.280 by play track? 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:46.520 I think it's Michigan Iowa. It's got to be Michigan Iowa. Yeah, God, no, 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.840 I know, I know. But here's the thing. I have 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.720 staked my professional reputation so much to the outcome of 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.840 this game, m that I feel like when we do 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.760 our recap show on Sunday, if I am not fully 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.320 versed in all things that were either part of the 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:02.199 game or part of the commentary, I'm assuming this is 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.640 a GUS game. Gush Johnson, it's big noon Saturday. Yeah, 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:08.120 I mean, if I'm not well versed enough to know 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.120 every nooking cranny of this game. I'm not doing my 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:11.680 job here. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:16.240 I am going with either TC Oklahoma or Ole Miss 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.559 Kentucky getting volume. Anyway. I'll have the Michigan Iowa game. 0:10:19.559 --> 0:10:21.640 That's gonna be my number two game. But I can't 0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:26.120 have Iowa offensive descriptors in my ear for an extended 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.120 period of time. I just can't. If it gets close 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.400 and it's weird and ioways moving the ball. Yes, this 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.200 game will get volume, but those are the two that 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.680 i'm Those are a it's a toss up for me, 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.360 all right. So we're both pretty jacked about that slate 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.560 of games. Yes, yes, absolutely the early slate. Let's go 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.120 to the afternoon slate. Here are five games. I don't 0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:48.679 know if it's quite as intriguing as the early slate, 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:50.160 but you guys tell me in the chat. 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.160 Let me know. Three thirty CBS, we got Alabama on 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.640 the road, seventeen point favorite at ARK and so it's 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.880 a big friggin' number. Holy cow. Also at three thirty 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.800 on Fox, Oahoma State against Baylor, a bit of a 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:04.680 revenge spot for Oklahoma State after that big twelve championship 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.800 bloss a year ago. Baylor favored by two two and 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.600 a half three points. Again depends when and where you look. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040 Also three point thirty ABC, We've got wake Forest on 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.440 the road at Florida State. Florida State favored in that 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:22.839 one by about seven points. Also Iowa State versus Kansas, 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.760 Iowa State on the road three point favorite, only a 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:29.000 three point favorite against the four and oh Jayhawks. And 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.080 then last but certainly not least a little bit later 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:34.200 on at four o'clock SEC Network, it is Texas A 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.520 and M at Mississippi State. Mississippi State favored by about 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.760 three and a half points. There, Dan, how does this 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:44.040 window for you stack up against the early slate? 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.920 I think I'm man if Michigan State were better because 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:55.120 the Michigan State Maryland game could have been fun. I 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.599 think I'm right here is an opportunity. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:11:59.319 We're right in the. 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:03.440 Middle, and I'll tell you why. Yeah, Alabama, Arkansas could 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:07.200 get out of control, Maryland Michigan State does not intrigue 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:07.880 me that much. 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:09.040 I didn't even list that one. 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:09.960 Yeah, I know you didn't. 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:10.800 That's a good one to list. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.800 A and M Mississippi State could go could get out 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.800 of control, probably in the Mississippi State running away with 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:19.320 it direction. But I think Texas and m can certainly 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.320 hang around or win this game close. I just don't 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.400 see a high flying Aggie offense all of a sudden 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:28.040 in Starkville in a sandwich spot. I could see Iowa 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.440 State blowing the doors off of Kansas. That they are 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.280 an LRO candidate luck running out that Kansas. And it's 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:37.400 not luck, obviously, there's a tremendous amount offensive skill, but 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.439 the fact that they're four and oh the fact that 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.240 they're winning games despite a defense that has allowed a 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.400 lot there is a bit of luck involved at that 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:49.600 and so wake Florida State probably not a blowout, but 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.120 I could see a couple of games getting a little 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:53.800 bit ugly. We don't know what the weather's going to 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:55.199 be like in a lot of these places. If it's 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.160 mucked up a little bit, again, hope everybody is terrifically 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:02.280 safe during anything effect by Hurricane Ian. You know, Baylor, 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.200 Oklahoma State could be pickleball. It could be ugly. So 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.440 that's why I'm not fully sold on electricity in this window, 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:09.600 but still can't wait. 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:13.360 By the way, we've got an interesting line here from 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.800 Alex in the chat. Also throwing out that Northwestern against 0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:20.199 Penn State. You're Northwestern Wildcats being so you're in the 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.559 greater Chicagoland area, Northwestern traveling to state college are one 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:27.679 in three after that week one win, week zero win, 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:32.160 excuse me over Nebraska in Ireland, Penn State favored by 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.880 twenty five, Alex saying that this is a game that's 0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.200 going to be close for no reason. And you know what, Alex, 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.560 I almost couldn't agree more. This game is just weird. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:44.240 Every year it's weird, Penn State, alum, It's a weird 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.839 game for them every freaking time it happens. 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.400 I believe the Wildcats of Northwestern undefeated away from Evanston 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:55.000 this season, undefeated away from the United States this season, 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:58.520 well yeah, but undefeated definitely away from Evanston. As you know, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.880 they beating Nebraska in Dublin by lose all three Duke 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.480 Southern Illinois and Miami the friendly confines of the North Shore. 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.360 So maybe there's something about Northwestern getting away that I 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:12.720 can't really sell it. I'm sorry, Penn State's gonna win comfortable. 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:14.960 Just wait till they build the new stadium, Wait till 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:17.360 they get the new Ryan Field up and running. That's 0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.120 how you know. Yeah, that's when it will start. 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:19.960 That's what it must be. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:22.280 All right, So we're a solid two out of three 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.800 here in the afternoon block. Yes, yes, all right, let's 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:31.440 go to the Late Lake Block Saturday, late seven pm ESPN. LSU, 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.520 Oh boy, this game. We need to talk through this game. 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:36.280 Don't we a wager game? 0:14:36.440 --> 0:14:39.080 It is a wager game, Okay. LSU at three and 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:44.080 one is minus eight. Now. I saw it at minus nine. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.160 We did our preview show. It was minus nine. That's 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.680 what I'm sticking to. I need that extra point. It 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.320 is LSU minus eight, but minus nine for our purposes 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:56.120 here versus Auburn on the road playing this game in 0:14:56.160 --> 0:15:00.000 the planes. Auburn also three and one, ever the conflict 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.080 dover Brian Harston still being coached, but winning record, big game, 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:07.160 LSU coming to town. Dan, we have a wager on 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.040 this game. You were very adamant about LSU minus eight 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.080 and r minus nine. Excuse me, gosh, surely I jest 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.760 LSU minus nine on the road, and I was pretty 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.200 gung ho on Auburn plus nine, if only because it 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.360 feels like a lot of points for me. The LS 0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:28.880 was still in transition they've progressively gotten better, but nine 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.720 points feels like a lot to me, especially at night 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.560 in that environment. We have a wager. You actually came 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:38.120 up with this via a suggestion we got from one 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.280 of our patreon for ball ers, Chaka. What do we 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:42.440 decide on earlier today? 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.120 Well, I think Chaka suggested or helped to suggest some 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.520 sort of tiger costume because we have the LSU tigers 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.760 and Auburn tigers. What we're gonna do is a little 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:56.440 bit more detail orient the loser of this bets. So 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.320 I'm given the points. You are taking the points the 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.600 loser of the bet before is it our bruin a 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.120 show in a couple weeks? When is this happening? Is 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:06.240 in a couple of weeks? Whatever? 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.680 The Thursday is before Halloween? Oh, the Thursday before Halloween. Yeah, 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.760 the loser of this bet. So if LSU covers this spread, 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.200 you will have to and if Auburn covers the spread, 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:19.840 I will have to get our face painted in detail 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:24.800 by a kids party face painter as a tiger. Yeah, 0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:26.760 like they have it as a zoo right. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.160 Spots, whiskers pronounced eyebrows, that kind of thing. And we're 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:33.800 going to have to record that Q and a episode 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.680 with full tiger face paint that's going to be available 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.440 at verballers dot com. Available now, but yeah, that show 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.760 will be available. Then somebody will have a painted face 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:44.360 on the Thursday night before Halloween. 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.360 And the good part about that is that lives on 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:50.480 the internet forever forever. Can never can never wash that off. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.120 Even if you wash it off, it never, you can 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:54.200 never really wash that off. 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:57.120 And the comments can't wait for tie Ger. 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:02.880 Oh yeah, sorry, I feel I just that's too many 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:08.359 points all right? Elsewhere ESPNU seven pm, Cincinnati minus nine 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:10.560 and a half at Tulsa. I think you were wise 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:15.320 to bring this matchup front and center. Excuse me when 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:18.760 we did our preview show, because even though Cincinnati's better, 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:21.359 Tulsa just beats good teams. It's like what they do, 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.560 or at least they scare teams that are better than 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.159 them are supposed to be better than them. And you 0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:29.159 could see that happening here. It wouldn't be even though 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:31.760 Ben Bryant looked really good at quarterback for Cincy. You 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.560 can see Tulsa again fund in a way to keep 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:34.440 this thing close. 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.879 Let the record show Dan is not making a quip 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.840 about a team named the Golden Hurricane this week now, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.959 although he just sort of did in the third person, 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.119 and I don't know if that counts, but yes, this 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:50.840 is who Tulsa is year in and year out. Obviously, 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:52.760 things change year to year, and the start has been 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.720 pretty slow thus far for Tulsa just by their own standards. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.280 And I know they lost their I think they lost 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:02.720 their defensive coordinator to tease you, if memory serves, but 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.560 there is something in the Golden Hurricane. DNA defense has 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:09.200 been pretty bad this year, by the way, Yeah for Tulsa, 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.840 especially against the pass. So maybe if you like Cincinnati, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.960 Ben Bryant's gonna throw for a bajillion yards here, and 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.520 so yeah, Tulsa hasn't been getting after the quarterback all 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.760 that well, hasn't played I mean, they've played ole Miss, 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:24.880 but otherwise it's Northern Illinois, Jacksonville State, Wyoming, so opportunities 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:29.200 to perform losing two. I mean, Wyoming has improved since 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:33.159 they got blown out by Illinois, but not ideal. Not 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:38.679 ideal thus far, still hung with ole Miss. There's this opportunity, 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.600 we'll see, but the defense is generally what has kept 0:18:41.600 --> 0:18:43.840 them in these games against big teams and has not 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.119 been present in the way it normally is. 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:48.880 We'll see what they can do against the real big 0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.800 Ben Ben Bryant seven point thirty ABC is the big 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:56.320 inning this window. It's NC State, It's Clemson. Clemson favored 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.119 by six and a half at home. We come back 0:18:58.160 --> 0:18:59.720 to this game, talk a little bit more about it. 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.880 But I've also got West Virginia at Texas. We've also 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.560 got Stanford against your Oregon Ducks. Oregon favored at a 0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:09.520 favor boy eleven points. They're also playing or excuse me, 0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:12.840 favored by seventeen points. They're playing this game at eleven PM. 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.280 I'm assuming you'll be asleep. You're gonna be watching this 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.080 whole YouTube on Sunday morning. Yeah. 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.240 The difficult thing with this is, yeah, I'll have it 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.160 on the YouTube, TV cloud DVR. Not a sponsor could 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.560 be is The tough thing is like I will wake 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:32.320 up at three twenty seven am to go pee, and 0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:33.400 it's knowing. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.160 Oh, the game's probably over. 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.560 I could look up the score, yeah, and not looking 0:19:38.600 --> 0:19:40.760 at my phone. That's the tough thing. 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.159 That takes a lot of willpower though. 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.520 Yeah, because I want I want the drama of seeing 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.320 how everything unfolds the next morning at you know, five 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.520 fourteen am, you know, an hour and a half later. 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.320 So that's the toughie. But yeah, I'm not staying up 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:54.080 for this, no way. 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:56.919 See, I pull the move where I fall asleep on 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.840 the couch while I'm watching whatever late game is on 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.919 the TV. And then I wake up at like two 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.800 thirty in the morning, and I got to walk upstairs 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.680 to bed because I don't want to have a crook 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.800 in my back by the time we record bright and 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.920 early on Sunday morning. And then in that like short 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.520 trip or crick, I don't know, crick, it's probably whatever 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:23.760 it is. The short joint up the stairs is when 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:25.399 I check my phone and I see the score, and 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:27.520 then at that point as something goes sideways and I'm 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:29.800 awake that I'm awake for at least an hour and 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:31.480 a half trying to figure out what the hell happened. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:32.880 Yeah, that's the tough one. 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.720 Yeah, how do we feel about this window generally? Because 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:38.800 I'll be honest, when I went through and I looked 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.680 at it, it's a great slate of games, the full 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.680 way through. When I looked at this slate of games, 0:20:44.080 --> 0:20:46.920
