But when, uh, when 28 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 6: when the season clicks over to the halfway point, I 29 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 6: always try. 30 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: To, you know, have a moment like where I'm like, 31 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: all right, you know. 32 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 6: Most of these teams had their bye week, Like just 33 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 6: we're getting we're getting close, buddy, Like make sure you 34 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 6: you really value this time. 35 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: And then I never do. 36 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 6: And then we get to this point and I'm like, 37 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 6: you know what, I wish I really marinated in it more. 38 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: I really, but that such is the Such is the 39 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: time of year. 40 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 6: We're into conference championship games, we're into the postseason, and 41 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 6: we're into national national championship and then it's done, and 42 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 6: then it then all we have to look forward to 43 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 6: is the NFL playoffs and then the desert that. 44 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 5: Is off season, the desert. 45 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 7: The desert here in Vegas has been very hospitable for 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 7: Brian and I so far now there, I yeah, right, 47 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 7: Like where did the season go? But that's that's the 48 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 7: beauty of it. I think that's what makes this college 49 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 7: football season so unique. It's the shortest of all the 50 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 7: major sports seasons. I know the NFL it's a pretty 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 7: short season too, but college football is even shorter. Now 52 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 7: it's different this year. I feel differently about bowl season 53 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 7: this year than I have any prior year. Obviously, it's 54 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 7: starting on a different day. I don't recall and Brian, 55 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 7: you correct me if I'm wrong. I don't recall a 56 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 7: time we've ever had a bowl game the same day 57 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 7: as Army Navy. 58 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 4: I can't remember either, Right, we get a we got 59 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 4: a couple today. Yeah, nothing off the top of my head. 60 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: But the bowl season is loaded, and we got bowl 61 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 4: games from now until you know, the beginning of January. 62 00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 5: It's like a whole month. 63 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 7: And then of course the Kachuwall Playoff has expanded too, 64 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 7: So like it's it feels it does feel differently even 65 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 7: though the season is over. 66 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 5: It doesn't feel like we're in that normal bull campaign. 67 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 68 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: We do have what Jackson State and South Carolina State? 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: That's the Celebration Bowl.

That's fine with that. 76 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 5: I don't know what I ask for it, I mean, 77 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 5: not good. 78 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 7: Like every Bolt Bowl games change sponsors, right, Yeah, there 79 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 7: are a few sponsors this year that I'm like, wait, what. 80 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: What's going on over here? 81 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 5: I didn't know this company? 82 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: Do love the Snoop DOGG Arizona Bowl yeah, I been 83 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 4: familiar with that. So lots to get to today. We'll 84 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 4: get you all set for Week fifteen. In the NFL. 85 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: We've got four games for every every team not named 86 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 4: the Rams and the Niners who played on Thursday night. 87 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: Everybody else plays four or more games and that's it 88 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: for the regular season. So there's some great matchups in 89 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: Week fifteen. We will get to today. The first thing 90 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 4: I want to start with is the NFL. We'll get 91 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 4: to college football and the college football playoff matchups, and 92 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: there's a lot to get to Army Navy today. But 93 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: the biggest story football wise this week is Bill Belichick 94 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 4: going back to college. It's funny because I said I 95 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: want to start with the NFL. This is really a 96 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: college story, but it just feels like such an NFL 97 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: story because it's Bill Belichick. He agrees to a five year, 98 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 4: fifty million dollar contract to become the North Carolina head 99 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 4: football coach. He's seventy two years old, only fourteen win 100 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 4: shy of the NFL record could pass Don Shula. 101 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: Now. 102 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,840 Speaker 4: He does have a ten million dollar buyout that drops 103 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 4: coincidentally to a one million dollar buyout after June of 104 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. So after one season, when Bill Belichick 105 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: is all the sidelines in Chapel Hill, he could get 106 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: his contract bought out for one million dollars and then 107 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 4: just return to the NFL. 108 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: So that's the first part. 109 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: How long do you think Bill Belichick is gonna be 110 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,720 Speaker 4: at North Carolina? Is this a one and done type 111 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 4: situation here? 112 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: I could very easily see that being the case. 113 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,799 Speaker 6: I think it's gonna be dependent on how it's going 114 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 6: at UNC for multiple reasons. Because if it's going really poorly, 115 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,839 Speaker 6: do we do we think that there's gonna be open 116 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 6: arms waiting for him back in the NFL. Maybe, But 117 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 6: if it's going really poorly, maybe not. And then the 118 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 6: other thing is, if it's going extremely well and there 119 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 6: isn't a great job opening at the NFL level that 120 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 6: he's very interested in, or vice versa, there isn't a 121 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 6: great job opening in the NFL that has great interest 122 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 6: in him, maybe he hangs in there for an extra 123 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 6: year with UNC. You know, if it's going extremely well 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 6: with the tar Heels, maybe he makes a transition and 125 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 6: all of a sudden, the second act of his career 126 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 6: and it's a late second act maybe called a third act, 127 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 6: is college football greatness. If he is having similar successes 128 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 6: early in his coaching career as he did in the NFL. 129 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: Look, you know that's the first part of it. 130 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 6: The second part of it as a former player of 131 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 6: his spending time in New England with Belichick, I think 132 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 6: this is going to work. I think his plan is 133 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 6: super organized. He's a great teacher. I think having the 134 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 6: level of talent at the podium that Bill is going 135 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 6: to bring to a college football program in many aspects. 136 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 6: Since college is looking more like the pros every single day, 137 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 6: I think that skill set translates now even better than 138 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 6: it did five years ago. 139 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: I think this is going to work for the Tar Heels. 140 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 5: And you said it. College is more like the pros 141 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 5: every day. 142 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 7: I consider Bill Belichick now to be a pioneer to 143 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 7: the new phase. 144 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 5: Of what college football is. What did the when they 145 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 5: were digging for gold? They be golden them Hills when 146 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 5: they came out West. It's a new age. 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 7: Of college football. It is more like the pros than 148 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 7: ever before. There are general managers all across the sport. 149 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 7: Now it is about money more than recruiting. Like I 150 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 7: saw the memes, Oh, I can't believe Bill's gonna go 151 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 7: into some kids apartment or some kids hoyles and try 152 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 7: to talk to him and convince him come. I think 153 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 7: the dollar sign is going to be the great convincer. 154 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 7: But again, if these programs are built like professional franchises 155 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 7: with emphasis on coaching and fundamentals, then yeah, Bill Belichick 156 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 7: should be pretty darn good at this. He is an 157 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 7: elite teacher of the game, and he has a much 158 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 7: more captive audience with a younger group of players instead 159 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 7: of professionals who, in their mind, probably when they get 160 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 7: to the NFL I already feel like they have a 161 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 7: pretty good grasp. 162 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 5: On the fundamentals of the game. 163 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 7: I think the biggest indicator that this is going to work, 164 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 7: at least initially, is what happened right after he signed. 165 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 7: For example, two offensive linemen Aiden Banfield and Austin Blask 166 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 7: who immediately put their names in the transfer portal after 167 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 7: mac Brown got fired untransfer portaled themselves after Bill Belichick 168 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,679 Speaker 7: was announced as the hiring. 169 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 5: I mean, if that's not the indicator. 170 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 7: That people aren't going to at least want or at 171 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 7: least not intrigued to see what he can do for them, 172 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 7: Like if you had a choice, do I want to 173 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 7: go play for some you know, mid major school, like 174 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 7: if it's I know, the ACC is not mid major, 175 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 7: but compared to some of the other top programs they are. 176 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 7: Like let's say you're a top recruit for an ACC 177 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 7: or a Big twelve school, not one of the big boys, 178 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 7: but you know, a mid level Power four conference, and 179 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 7: you can go played for Bill Belichick. 180 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't I think that decision is easy. 181 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 7: But Brian, you mentioned the buyout, he might not make 182 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 7: it to the first season. Like, the buyout drops nine 183 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 7: million after June first, the season doesn't start till September, 184 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 7: and Cliff Kingsbury said he didn't think he's gonna coach 185 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 7: a game. 186 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: Now. 187 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 7: He might have been saying it tongue in cheek, but 188 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 7: I would not be shocked if he built this thing 189 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 7: up and. 190 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 5: Then bailed in the summer. If there's an NFL job 191 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 5: that opened. 192 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: Up for him. 193 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, isn't that weird? 194 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 4: The buyout drops to one million dollars after June of 195 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: twenty twenty five, So think about I was thinking he 196 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 4: was gonna be there for one entire season. That's not 197 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 4: true to your point here, this drops before they play 198 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 4: a game. So that's just strange timing but really interesting 199 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: and to me, on both sides of it, this makes 200 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 4: sense for Bill Belichick on one hand, where it's like, Okay, 201 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit around and wait for the NFL 202 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: phone to ring. You know, I saw what happened last year. 203 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 4: Let me be proactive instead of going on, you know 204 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: with Peyton Manning and Pat McAfee. Let me get on 205 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 4: a sideline over here, you know, let me show them 206 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 4: and remind them what I can do, and maybe that'll 207 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 4: help me get in the NFL. That could be his thinking. 208 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: Also his son Steve Belichick. Maybe this is greasing the 209 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 4: skids for Steve to take over at UNC once Bill 210 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: Belichick leaves, right, it could be a. 211 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: Double win for UNC. 212 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 4: This is the funny thing to me, there's been so 213 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 4: much commentary of oh, Bill Belichick going to college. This 214 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 4: didn't work for Charlie Rice or Herm Edwards. Is he 215 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: gonna go to the living room. It's just doom and gloom. 216 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 4: And it's like, guys, this is North Carolina. 217 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I just looked. 218 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 4: They've been playing football at North Carolina since nineteen o two. 219 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 4: They have eight double digit win seasons in their program's history, 220 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 4: not a lot's well over a hundred seasons of football. 221 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: They have eight seasons where they want at least ten games, 222 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 4: at least ten games. I think eleven wins is the 223 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 4: most ever in a couple of seasons of North Carolina 224 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 4: football for one hundred and twenty plus years. 225 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 3: And you're gonna say no to Belichick. 226 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 4: Really, I'm looking at the standings right now in the 227 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: ACC they had as many overall wins as NC State. 228 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: Who would you rather be right now? Would you rather 229 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 4: be North Carolina with Bill Belichick or NC State without 230 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: Bill Belichick. I'd rather be the tar Heels here. So 231 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 4: for all these people that are like, oh, I don't 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 4: think it's ever gonna work, you have to grade this 233 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 4: on a North Carolina scale. Yeah, and what are they 234 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 4: doing otherwise? It's totally worth I'm not predicting a national 235 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: championship ACC Crown. I'm predicting improvement from this season to 236 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: next season. And they've got juice, which they never have. 237 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 4: Absolutely a win for UNC And. 238 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,319 Speaker 6: Look at the NFL level, you need a you need 239 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 6: quarterback in head coach both to win. You absolutely, do 240 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 6: you know you look around at the best teams in 241 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 6: the NFL, it is rare that you see a team 242 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 6: that doesn't have a great leader in terms of a 243 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 6: head coach and a at very least extremely competent, if 244 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 6: not great quarterback or quarterback playing a great season in 245 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 6: the NFL. In terms of teams that are having success, 246 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 6: you need those two things. Those are boxes you need checked. 247 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 6: At the collegiate level, you could get away with one 248 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 6: or the other. 249 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: How many times do we see a head coach. 250 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 6: At the collegiate level, year after year after year not 251 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 6: really finding the one at quarterback, but still finding a 252 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 6: way to win. 253 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: You can do it. 254 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 6: How many times do we see a bad coach at 255 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,239 Speaker 6: the college level get bailed out by a great quarterback? 256 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 6: It happens at the NFL level. There's no hiding in college. 257 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 6: You can get away with it. So Bill he can 258 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 6: build a better mouse trap than most coaches at the 259 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 6: collegiate level, there's no question in my mind. And he 260 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 6: can do it potentially without a quarterback. If he doesn't 261 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 6: find somebody who's going to tear up you know, the 262 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 6: accor or you know, if he was coaching any of 263 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 6: these confracts. The big twelve. The it doesn't matter. Like 264 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 6: you you find you find another way to win. And 265 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 6: I think there's I think that's potentially one of the 266 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 6: things that attracted him to the job, because there there 267 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 6: is a little bit more coaching that's involved at the 268 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 6: collegiate level. At the NFL level, it's a little bit 269 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 6: more managing. Now again, the college game is starting to 270 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 6: look more and more like the pro game every single day. 271 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 6: So I don't know how much longer all that's going 272 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 6: to last, but for now that has been the case 273 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 6: and it will continue to be the case until it 274 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 6: does change. So I think if you're going to go 275 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,079 Speaker 6: to college and you're a good coach for short term 276 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 6: and you're super organized like Bill Belichick is, like I 277 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 6: said before, having sat in those meeting rooms and hearing 278 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 6: the gospel from the pastor himself, I think it's gonna work. 279 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 6: I think I think it's gonna work. It's just a 280 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 6: matter of buying, and it's a matter of talent in 281 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 6: some certain cases, and a little bit a little bit 282 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 6: of luck in terms of injuries and things like that. 283 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 6: But I think if I'm like you said, and you 284 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 6: perfectly stated it, Brian, if I'm North Carolina. I'm much 285 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 6: happier with Belichick than without. There's no question. 286 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd be way more skeptical if this was Bama 287 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 7: or Georgia or even Penn State. Like I had a 288 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 7: couple of people ask me, oh, well, what what would 289 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 7: you think if he was the Penn State coach? And 290 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 7: I'm like, I need more context, Like why is James 291 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 7: Franklin gone? 292 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 5: Like what? Like what happened? Like like why? 293 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 7: Like so it's it's not as simple as would you 294 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 7: want him coaching your team? Like, in the situation that 295 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 7: UNC is in, it is the perfect fit. 296 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 5: You have nothing to lose. 297 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 7: Now, I'm not gonna go out here and preach about 298 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 7: how many games they're gonna win. How about tell me 299 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 7: what their roster looks like first, Like that's the part 300 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 7: of this that I think we need to pump the 301 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 7: brakes on wins, bowl games, college football, playoff, et cetera, 302 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 7: et cetera. Let the dude build a roster, keep your 303 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 7: mouth shut, and just let it play out, and then 304 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 7: come spring time when they play a football game, will 305 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 7: analyze that. But in terms of is this a good fit, 306 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 7: it is like a glove. It's perfect because there is 307 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 7: literally nothing else for UNC to lose. But now we 308 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 7: need to let the story breathe a little bit, and 309 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 7: we need to stop ringing our you know, wringing our 310 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 7: hands around its neck and just let Bill and Michael Lombardi, 311 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 7: former colleague of mine at a network here in town, 312 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 7: go be the GM and go build a roster. 313 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 5: Like now, the next step is, okay. 314 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 7: Show me who your quarterback is, show me what your 315 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 7: offensive line looks like, et cetera, et cetera, what kind 316 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 7: offense you can ram, kind of. 317 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 5: Defense you're gonna run. 318 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 7: We'll get those questions when we get a spring game. 319 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 7: We can analyze some film. But I think this is 320 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 7: perfect for Bill too, because the one thing that Bill 321 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 7: struggled with, I think in the NFL, at least later 322 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 7: on in his career, was just how much access the 323 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 7: media was getting, and he hated it. He hated as 324 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 7: much as I've seen any coach hate media access. Ever, well, 325 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 7: in college it's like the Gestapo, Like you don't get 326 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,000 Speaker 7: a lot of access, you can control the message significantly 327 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 7: more so. I think all of that is beneficial to 328 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 7: the style of coach and manager that he is. 329 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 5: But again, the success of the team. Let's see him 330 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 5: build a roster first. 331 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll just put a real quick bow on this. 332 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 4: Something you said, Jared made me think about this. Think 333 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: about John Caliperi college basketball head coach right where he 334 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: was at Kentucky, and after a while, because Kentucky's a 335 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 4: blue blood, it's like, where are the titles? 336 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 3: What the hell right? Get about here? 337 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 4: And ourinsaw which hadn't been a power for the last 338 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 4: twenty years. 339 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 3: They get call and they're like. 340 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 4: This is awesome, big suey, let's go. If Bill Belichick 341 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 4: is going to I don't Notre Dame or Kirby Smarts 342 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 4: out in Georgia for some reason, I could see them 343 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: folding their arms and like, is this what we're really doing? 344 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: You know? 345 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 3: But North Carolina is comparable. 346 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 4: North Carolina football is comparable right now to Arkansas basketball. 347 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 4: And if Arkansas gets cal they're freaking doing backflips. That's 348 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 4: the way you wouldn't see is doing it right, and 349 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 4: they should They absolutely should.

College basketball. Bring it on, baby. Actually, 400 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 7: we have a game that starts at eight am local 401 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 7: time here in. 402 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 5: Vegas, Memphis and Clemson. 403 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 7: I kind of like Memphis actually catching the points after 404 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 7: a tough game for them earlier this week. All right, 405 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,200 Speaker 7: football today, Army Navy. It feels like we hear this 406 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 7: story every year. 407 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 5: Oh, the Unders hitting this many years in a row, 408 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 5: I know, but the average total in those games still 409 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 5: significantly higher than what we're seeing now. And we have 410 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 5: seen some over money this week. Is that correct, Shamus? 411 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 8: It's a couple shart that's on the over here. I 412 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 8: mean this is open forty and a half. I got 413 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 8: that down I think around to like thirty eight and 414 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 8: a half. An now we're back up to thirty nine 415 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 8: and a half. So starting to see some money come 416 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 8: in there on the over right now. But the public money, 417 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 8: you know, it's still fifty to fifty on the thirty 418 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 8: nine and a half that we sit at right now. 419 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 8: So there's finally some believers in the the over here 420 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 8: this year for once. 421 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 6: Hey, Seamus, is it more difficult for sports books to 422 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 6: handicap bowl season? I should say the college football post 423 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 6: season this year, because ball season it's unique, right, you're 424 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 6: going to have some regional interest or you know, interest 425 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 6: from fans of teams in the battle frog bermutable when 426 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 6: it's you know, I don't know, A and M commerce 427 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 6: taking on the Citadel. But like when you have a 428 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 6: situation where all of a sudden, it's Penn State SMU 429 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 6: and that is a tough game to handicap and wrap 430 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 6: your head around. 431 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: Or it's you know, Indiana Notre Dame. 432 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 6: Two very different styles of play there, and it's meaningful 433 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 6: and there's gonna be. 434 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people. 435 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 6: There's gonna be national interest on these games. Is it 436 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 6: more difficult to pick the number for those games? Could 437 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 6: could better have an edge in these games? Or is 438 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 6: there already too much attention being paid to these teams 439 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,400 Speaker 6: and it sort of all comes out in the wash. 440 00:21:55,600 --> 00:22:00,360 Speaker 8: I would rather book drafts than book ball season is 441 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 8: so hard. There are so many guys who sit out, transfer, 442 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 8: you name it. So bull season is really tough for 443 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 8: us to book. We just have to hang a number 444 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 8: and then be quick on the sharp money that comes 445 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 8: in as soon as soon as you see it. The CFP, 446 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 8: it's pretty much just like booking coffee championships. Most big 447 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 8: college football games so a lot easier to book than 448 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 8: just say, yeah, you know, it's actually the East Texas 449 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 8: A and M instead of A and M Commerce. Now 450 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 8: they changed their name, by the way. 451 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: Oh that's right. 452 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 6: They changed it in the season, by the way, in 453 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 6: the middle of the season. 454 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 8: So yeah, the college football it's certainly going to be 455 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 8: harder to beat than just like you know, the pitting 456 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 8: Stripe bull or the Bahamas Ball. 457 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 458 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 4: So Week fifteen in the NFL, Shamus, the headliner game, 459 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 4: of course is Bill's Lions. But what do you think 460 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 4: the headliner is based on the point spread? 461 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 3: Right? What do you like in the most? 462 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 8: I've been on the Eagles all year. I really think 463 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 8: this is a team that can actually, you know, up 464 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 8: end the Lions and go to the Super Bowl this year. 465 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 8: And even with Russ at quarterback, I'm still like not 466 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 8: entirely there with this Steelers team. So I really like 467 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 8: the Eagles this week. 468 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,359 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's kind of interesting because I'm in that time now, Shamus, 469 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 7: and we text a lot on the side where like 470 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 7: all of these different like usually in October, especially like 471 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 7: early season, like I'm so tunnel vision on college football 472 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 7: and NFL, But now we have all these outside influences 473 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 7: of different sports and different types of as we get 474 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 7: to like the transition time. 475 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 5: From college football season to NFL. 476 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 7: Is this more difficult for you because we talk about 477 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 7: bowl season. But I had a bookmaker interview once that 478 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 7: said the beginning of college basketball season keeps him up 479 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 7: at night because of the confluence of sports happening right now. 480 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 7: Should we be focusing perhaps on some of the undercards, 481 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 7: because that's where maybe you guys can't focus your full 482 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 7: attention right now with all this different stuff going on. 483 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 8: This is an excellent time of year if you're looking 484 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 8: to you know, catch the book sleeping, you know, take 485 00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 8: advantage of like an edge that you may have have 486 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 8: a been on Western Carolina unc Ashvill at two o'clock. 487 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,239 Speaker 8: I couldn't maybe three basketball players on the team, but 488 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 8: we got to book them. So there's there's a million 489 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 8: different events that we have to book, a lot of options. 490 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 8: You can go, you go NHL, NBA, NFL, college basketball, 491 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 8: any of the bowl games today. We even have college 492 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 8: hockey up on some of the sites that it's available 493 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 8: in Yuca State, So there's plenty of options for you 494 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 8: to attack the book. 495 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 6: Before the college football playoff officially kicks off. You know, 496 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 6: you look at the odds on favorites to be the 497 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: national champion, it's the usual subject suspects. But is there 498 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 6: is there a team or team that you think are 499 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 6: good value in terms of the in terms of. 500 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: The odds they have on that list? Could I get 501 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 1: a Penn stage shout out? Maybe? 502 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 5: Is that tough loss the other night? 503 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, you sure can. I mean this is this 504 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 8: is the easiest to aw that you could possibly ask for. 505 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 8: I think in this playoff s MU at home. I 506 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 8: like SMU a lot, but Penn State getting that team 507 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 8: at home, that's a huge advantage. And then you get 508 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 8: Boise State on a neutral and then you can get 509 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 8: either you know, what's the status of the quarterback position 510 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 8: in Georgia? How good is the name going to stack 511 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 8: up against Penn State. It's a really nice path to 512 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 8: get to the final where you can avoid an Oregon 513 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 8: in Ohio State. 514 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 4: Okay, Seamus Moment of truth, the Shamus Special today. 515 00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 3: I dont even know what sport it's gonna be. What 516 00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: do you have for good? 517 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 5: Yeah? 518 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,679 Speaker 8: I got I gotta go back, gotta go back to 519 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 8: my roots here, guys, and we're going with an old 520 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 8: favorite incarnate word. 521 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: Yeah. 522 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 8: That why they's moving up the plus twenty. They played 523 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 8: South Dakota State early in the season. They lost by 524 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 8: twenty one, but that was a seven point game almost 525 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 8: halfway through the fourth quarter. Dark Calzada is in one 526 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 8: of the best quarterbacks in the country Texas A and 527 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 8: M the legend Zack Calzada for incarnate word. I think 528 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 8: they can keep this within the number. 529 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: Of the Okay, wow, seamous sounds. 530 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 5: They're playing the defending national champions, South Dakota State. 531 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: Pas. I love this so much, so great. 532 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 4: I just I would love you know, whenever you sit 533 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 4: down to have coffee or whatever it is, whatever your 534 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 4: process is, where you're like, it's incarnate words today. 535 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 5: It's great. 536 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 4: And what what was like, what the short list was like? Well, 537 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 4: who else was in the running? 538 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 3: You know what I mean? 539 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: I gotta make it to one of those coffee sessions 540 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 4: one of these years. Here, Seamus, you're the best man. 541 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 4: Fantastic stuff. I hope you enjoyed the day and the 542 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 4: weekend and especially if you're in the garden, huh. 543 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 3: I hope you enjoy that if you're there tonight, Seamus. 544 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I hope I can snag a cheaper ticket than 545 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 8: what they're at now. But yeah, we're trying to get 546 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 8: in there tonight. 547 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Good luck with that. 548 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: Very nice. We appreciate that, Seamus. We'll catch you soon. 549 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: There. 550 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 4: He is Seamus McGee, team lead of Sports Trading at BEDMGM. 551 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Campdown to kick Off, presented 552 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 4: by BEDMGM. Okay, so we got a good five solid 553 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 4: five minutes to just whine and complain, you know, sometimes 554 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: good for the soul. 555 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. 556 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 4: The playoff seating. This college football playoff here, it is 557 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 4: just an absolute joke. First things first, Oregon's reward for 558 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 4: going undefeated and being the number one team in the 559 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 4: country is getting the winner of Tennessee versus Ohio State. Really, 560 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 4: it's it's gotta be a better system than this. Boise 561 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 4: State is ranked number nine, yet they're the three seed. 562 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 4: Arizona State is ranked twelfth and they're the four seed. 563 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 4: Both those teams get buys. This can't be the system 564 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 4: that we have. It's got to be an easier path 565 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 4: for the number one team like Oregon. It's got to 566 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 4: be a tougher path for ninth and twelfth ranked teams 567 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 4: that might win their conference championship. It's just it's got 568 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 4: to change. It has to change. These automatic buys. They 569 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 4: have to go away because it screws everything up. 570 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 6: I agree with you, and that's the reason why I'm 571 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 6: cheerleading expansion already. I think that if you expand the 572 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 6: bracket further, it takes away a lot of your problems. 573 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 6: It takes a lot of what ills this system already. 574 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 6: If there are sixteen teams in, you don't have any 575 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 6: more problems. You know, let's start in a round of sixteen, 576 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 6: go to an elite eight, just like in college hoops, 577 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 6: and then you know, whittle the field to four than two, 578 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 6: and let's. 579 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: Let's crown our champ. 580 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 6: I comple completely agree with you, and I think I 581 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,239 Speaker 6: think the answer to the question, or the answer to 582 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 6: the test is four more teams in. 583 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 7: We cannot give buys to the ninth and twelfth ranked 584 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 7: teams into the top eight of a twelve team field. 585 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 7: I will repeat that because I know those numbers can 586 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 7: probably sound a little bit for gazy, but that is 587 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 7: what happened. The ninth and twelfth ranked teams in the 588 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 7: college football Playoffield Bois in Arizona State received buys into 589 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 7: the top eight of a twelve team field cannot happen. 590 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 7: One of the dumbest things I've ever seen happen in 591 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 7: college sports, and that's a long list. Now, there's an 592 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 7: easy way to fix this. Here's how you fix it. 593 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 7: Just remove the whatever line of text in the rules 594 00:29:54,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 7: that said automatic qualifiers get buys if you win your conference. Like, 595 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 7: remove that line of text. Just give the byes to 596 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 7: the top four ranked teams. You rank the teams, and 597 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 7: then you do like a secondary ranking where you slop 598 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 7: them into brackets like it's basketballs. Remember the scene in 599 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 7: basketballs where it was like the Northwest Central Western Division 600 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 7: gets enough of that forgetting rank the teams and then 601 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 7: put one, two, three, and four in buys. Forget about 602 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 7: the automatic qualifier or the conference championship meaningless. Now, what 603 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 7: it does is it devalues the conference championships. But let's 604 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 7: be honest. You watch conference championship weekend, there weren't a 605 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 7: lot of close games. There was like one close game. 606 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 7: It's Penn State Oregon. Actually know the Clubson SMU game 607 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 7: is pretty good too, but that was, frankly a college 608 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 7: football play in game. It just it feels like they're 609 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 7: trying to do too much. We hear that all the time. 610 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 7: You're doing too much, do it too much. They tried 611 00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 7: to do too much. They tried to get too cute 612 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 7: with the buys. We need to say bye bye to 613 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 7: the buys. 614 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 4: Or bye bye bye and see bye bye bye that going. 615 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: But I understand the thinking. You wanted more more variety, right, That's. 616 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 5: Why they did this got too cute. 617 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 4: If you look at the top four, it's two SEC 618 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 4: teams and two Big ten teams. One through four is Oregon, Georgia, Texas, 619 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 4: Penn State. 620 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 5: Those four teams are bus. 621 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 4: They do, absolutely they do, and that should be the 622 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 4: top four seeds in this college football playoff. But they 623 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 4: looked at it and they said, well, we don't want 624 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 4: two teams from the SEC or two teams from the 625 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 4: Big ten. 626 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,840 Speaker 3: We don't have any acc we don't have a dash 627 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 3: of Big twelve. You know, we don't have a helping 628 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 3: of group of five. 629 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: And so they tried to open it up a little 630 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 4: bit more, and it bit them. It bit them because 631 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 4: what you get is when you actually plug those teams 632 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 4: in and after an entire season, you can see how 633 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: unfair the format is to the teams. That achieved the most, 634 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,080 Speaker 4: like two teams that achieved the least based on the 635 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 4: twelve they're in. One is Clemson, they're ranked number sixteen, 636 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 4: and the other one is Arizona State, who's ranked number twelve. 637 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 3: And somehow Arizona State has a buye. How they're not even. 638 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 4: In the top ten and they're one of the four 639 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 4: teams with the buye. It's lunacy. It has to change immediately. 640 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 6: It just also devalues ranking these teams in the first place. 641 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 1: Like ye, the seeding doesn't really matter. 642 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 6: Here's the reason why I'm already cheerleading expansion and why 643 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 6: I think they got it so wrong in college football 644 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 6: with this new playoff bracket is because why is college 645 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 6: hoops so exciting? Because it really feels like you get. 646 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,360 Speaker 1: To know a Cinderella. 647 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 6: So when you have a one taking on a sixteen 648 00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 6: seed or two taking on a fifteen, and somehow that 649 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 6: fourteen topples a three and they win. 650 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: Their next round game in the lead eight, and. 651 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 6: All of a sudden, you're like, oh my goodness, we 652 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 6: need to start paying attention to dot dot dot. Say 653 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 6: it's Boise State, say it's SMU, Say it's Clemson. Whoever, 654 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 6: because we did not expect them to survive. But here 655 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 6: are the Cincinnati Bearcats. Like the point being, that's what 656 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 6: makes the college basketball postseason so unique and special. That's 657 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 6: why the brackets, literally the piece of paper we all 658 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,440 Speaker 6: used to hold when we were in high school and 659 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 6: now all the daily fantasy apps that everybody holds in 660 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 6: their hands during college hoops postseason is so important to 661 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 6: you because it actually means something. 662 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: The problem with college football. 663 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 6: Is they've completely devalued their postseason by adding way too 664 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 6: much subjectivity and loopholes. Just make this straight up. We're 665 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 6: seeding you one through sixteen. We're gonna play this out 666 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:06,200 Speaker 6: like an actual tournament, and we're gonna see who the 667 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 6: champ is and guess what, you'll have better ratings, more interest, 668 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,040 Speaker 6: and you can actually print out a damn bracket that 669 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 6: makes sense when you look at it. I can't wait 670 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 6: for them to spend and I hope they don't screw 671 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 6: it up when they do. 672 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,879 Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, I hear you on that, Rich and 673 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 4: we'll see it seems like it's gonna go to fourteen 674 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 4: before sixteen. 675 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, but they might screw up fourteen also, and they will. 676 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,640 Speaker 7: It'll give the twenty team a bye, and when we 677 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,600 Speaker 7: get the fourteen there instead of the instead of the twelve. 678 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll say super fast because we're up against it. 679 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,240 Speaker 3: But like think of March madness. 680 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 4: You got me thinking, Rich, Remember like the play in 681 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 4: game where it's like sixteen versus sixteen. Yeah, imagine if 682 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 4: the winner gotta buy, they didn't face the number one seed, 683 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 4: they gotta buy past that round to the next round. 684 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 4: That's essentially what happened with Arizona State. 685 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 1: Yep. 686 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 4: Correct, It's like, what makes no sense. It makes no 687 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,759 Speaker 4: sense at all, at all at all. It's crazy. But 688 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 4: we've got Rich orn Berger Penn State, all American. That 689 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 4: makes sense. We've got Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst, that 690 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 4: makes sense for him to be on the show. Also, 691 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 4: I'm Brian, No, that makes no sense. I'm kidding when 692 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 4: the show as well. 693 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,240 Speaker 3: All right, Coming up next the parlay platter. 694 00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 4: We each have one selection, we pull it together for 695 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 4: a greater payout. We'll share our picks with you. Coming up, 696 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 4: it's Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by BETMGM. 697 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by BETMGM. 698 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 4: Every time you make a wager at BETMGM, you earn 699 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 4: BETMGM rewards points that can be redeemed for things like 700 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 4: bonus bets or converted to MGM rewards points that could 701 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 4: be used towards dining shows and hotel rooms at over 702 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 4: twenty MGM resorts. 703 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 3: All let's do this. 704 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 2: Check this out, parlay ladder. 705 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 4: Ah, Yes, the platter over here, And there's a theme 706 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 4: we go back to last week when Jared said this 707 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 4: tutty time. Maybe you just run it back here today 708 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 4: as well, Right. 709 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 2: Jared, the tody time, it's toudy time. 710 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 7: I think this might be And I know we've kind 711 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,280 Speaker 7: of gone through a few iterations. 712 00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,879 Speaker 5: Of the platter over time. Right, this is your three 713 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 5: of the show. 714 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 7: I think this might be a one we stick with 715 00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 7: for a while. I really like Tuddy time, at least through. 716 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 5: Of course football season. 717 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,279 Speaker 7: We'll have to figure something out when we get to 718 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 7: the basketball season. But I am targeting this Bill's Lions 719 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,279 Speaker 7: game makes sense. Highest total of the week should be 720 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 7: multiple touchdowns. 721 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 5: On both sides. But I think the sun God will 722 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 5: be shining bright here. I'm on Ralph Saint Brown. 723 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 7: He is a coin flip to score a touchdown even 724 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 7: though it's puls one hundred and he's already scored nine. 725 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,280 Speaker 5: Times this year. That's the second most in the NFL 726 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 5: for receivers. 727 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,480 Speaker 7: Hasn't found the end zone though, in three games, so 728 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,720 Speaker 7: we could say he's due. His last touchdown was against 729 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 7: the Jags that's blowout in Week eleven. But he has 730 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 7: scored a touchdown in eight of his thirteen games played 731 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 7: this year. That is more than half. And we get 732 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 7: this at a coin flip price. So I love I'm 733 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 7: on Ralph Saint Brown the first tidy time in the parloft. 734 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 6: I like Jalen Hurts, so he's one of the league's 735 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 6: leaders in rushing touchdowns. 736 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 1: They're hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. 737 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,839 Speaker 6: You know that means it's gonna be tough times as 738 00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 6: you get closer and closer to the goal line, which 739 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 6: is where Jalen Hurts his number gets called because they 740 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 6: still do the toush push they've been executing and Saquon 741 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,640 Speaker 6: Barkley as a pension of getting the ball all the 742 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,160 Speaker 6: way down to the two or one yard line and 743 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 6: then it's Jalen Hurts time. So give me Hurts, Adam 744 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 6: to the parlay it's touddy time, Toddy. 745 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 3: Time, all right. 746 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 4: I will go with that Bill's Lions game that Jared 747 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,839 Speaker 4: started talking about. Give me Lions running back David Montgomery. 748 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 4: Now he's minus won fifty five at bet MGM. So 749 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 4: I don't love the juice, but in terms of a parlay, 750 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 4: that's the time to use it, right, And I just 751 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 4: see David Montgomery. 752 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 3: I go back to that Bill's loss. 753 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:59,840 Speaker 4: Remember earlier in the season at Baltimore and Baltimore just 754 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 4: punish them between the tackles, that physical running style with 755 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 4: Derrick Henry. I think you're gonna get a heavy dose 756 00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 4: of David Montgomery and from the five yard line in 757 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:14,200 Speaker 4: this dude, this is just so hard to tackle. So 758 00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 4: I see David Montgomery scoring a touchdown in this game. 759 00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 5: I don't like. 760 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,320 Speaker 3: That we're on the same team, Jared. 761 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 4: You know it could still happen, could absolutely still come through. 762 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 7: It absolutely could because the Lions team total in the 763 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 7: game is in the high twenties, right, you get the 764 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 7: Lions slight favorite in the game. The totals at fifty 765 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 7: four and a half, so they are expected to score. 766 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 7: I would say I would bet the touchdown prop for 767 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 7: the Lions is three and. 768 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 5: A half, so they're definitely expected to score three touchdowns. 769 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,359 Speaker 7: I don't see any reason why Montgomery can't score two 770 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 7: in bat. One of my buddies, Brad Evans, calls a 771 00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 7: mandatory Montgomery because it just he always seems to find 772 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 7: the end zone. But if you combine these together, right, 773 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 7: a bit of a nuance with the parlay, it's a 774 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,000 Speaker 7: same game parlay with a Monra and Montgomery, and then 775 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 7: we tack on Jalen Hurts in the bet MGM's year. 776 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 5: We call that an SGP plus. I don't know why 777 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 5: they call it a plus. I guess you can kind 778 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 5: of figure it out, but that's just what they call it. 779 00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 7: Plus five eighty nine on the ops almost six to one. 780 00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: Not bad. 781 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 7: I think that's a pretty decent, tunny time parlay for 782 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:15,520 Speaker 7: your Sunday. 783 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 6: I also, like, you know, because even though it's the Lions, 784 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 6: you're both on that side. The Bills have been in 785 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 6: a couple of shootouts, one earlier in the season with 786 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 6: the Cardinals and then was it the Rams a couple 787 00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 6: of weeks ago, where last week forty four forty two, Yeah, 788 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 6: freaking crazy, it was last week they I mean so 789 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,800 Speaker 6: so it could happen again. 790 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean and the Lions. 791 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 6: The Lions have been in a couple of shootouts, so 792 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 6: let's see a lot of touchdowns in that game. And 793 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 6: all I need is really one in that Philadelphia Eagles Pittsburgh. 794 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: Steelers game, and then we're just off to the race, 795 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: just cashing. 796 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 5: Checks this Manday time. 797 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 4: I also think about long shot touchdown scorers. 798 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, give me one, what do you got? 799 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,319 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe like Stone Smart of the Chargers. With Will 800 00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 4: Disley being out, you get twenty to one. 801 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,279 Speaker 5: Sounds like a smart bet to Bead McConkey. Still, lad, Yeah, 802 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,920 Speaker 5: I don't know what's going on in then that's actually 803 00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 5: a tough game to cap because of my conky. 804 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, interesting stuff over there, all right, if you my 805 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 4: Will Disley horror story around the corner. 806 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 3: And also little Army Navy action. 807 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,359 Speaker 4: Welcome in here as we get just set for some 808 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 4: college football action and then Week fifteen of the NFL. 809 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 4: You know, we just did our tuddy time parlay platter 810 00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 4: last segment, and it just it gave me nightmares of 811 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 4: what happened last week. I was on the Will Disley train. 812 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 4: This was Sunday night football. Well you were there Jared, Yeah, 813 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:44,760 Speaker 4: I bet. 814 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 7: Is over in a bunch of different ways. Gosh didn't 815 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:48,200 Speaker 7: turn out. 816 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,280 Speaker 5: Well for us. It's brutal. 817 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 4: So if you missed it the cliffs Notes version over here, 818 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 4: So what'd you get it at? 819 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:55,760 Speaker 3: Like forty four and a half somewhere? 820 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 7: I think I've got a ladder too, which made it 821 00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 7: even worse with multiple bets. 822 00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 4: Made all the sentence world right, kids City. They don't 823 00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 4: do a good job guarding tight ends this season. Will Disley, 824 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,280 Speaker 4: no lad McConkey. Last week, it's like Herbert's gonna target 825 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 4: Will Disley and he ain't get much action in the 826 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,600 Speaker 4: first half, but right before halftime there's like, I don't know, 827 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 4: four or five seconds left, Herbert just drops it off 828 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 4: to Will Disley, go ahead run for fifteen yards. And 829 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,759 Speaker 4: for you and I, Jared, it looked great until he 830 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 4: got thrown down on his shoulder and he didn't play 831 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,040 Speaker 4: another down the rest of the night. And you're watching 832 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:35,480 Speaker 4: Stones Smart, the backup tight end, catch three passes for 833 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 4: fifty four yards. Every time he caught a pass. I'm like, 834 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 4: that would be Will Disley right now. We would have 835 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 4: gotten there. 836 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 1: Oh. 837 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,520 Speaker 3: The injury bug on over props is just the worst. 838 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:47,560 Speaker 1: It ill bad. 839 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 6: It is because also it can be a situation where 840 00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 6: a guy lands hard on his shoulder middle point of 841 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 6: the second quarter, and then they ease him back in 842 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 6: after halftime. 843 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: It's just you can, you can. It doesn't even have 844 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:02,920 Speaker 1: to be. 845 00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 6: A situation where you're taking out of the game, taken 846 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 6: out of the action for the rest of the game. 847 00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: It could just be. 848 00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 6: As simple as slowing down the stat line. So yeah, 849 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,719 Speaker 6: those props, man, it's you gotta be a little brave, 850 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 6: especially with some of those ladder props. 851 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 5: The ladders. I love a good Louis k What is 852 00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 5: it in the game of throat Chaos? 853 00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: Is a ladder? Like? 854 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 7: It's just it's one of my favorite speeches in that 855 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,239 Speaker 7: entire show. No, the prop market, and I don't bet 856 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,440 Speaker 7: a ton of props, at least I don't give out 857 00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 7: a ton of props. I do like handicapping the games 858 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 7: themselves and kind of the market and how the sides 859 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 7: and totals are impacted by all of the other injuries 860 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,840 Speaker 7: and storylines and everything that we talk about on a 861 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 7: weekly basis. The prop market, though, if you were gonna 862 00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,959 Speaker 7: ask me, all right, Jared, I have a thousand bucks, 863 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:52,960 Speaker 7: I'm gonna start my gambling journey. 864 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,080 Speaker 5: What should I focus on every single day? 865 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,640 Speaker 7: I would tell you props, because I think the market 866 00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 7: is more beatable than sides and totals. But you put 867 00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,560 Speaker 7: yourself in those types of situations more often than not. 868 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,520 Speaker 7: And that's why I like spreading out, Like I like 869 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 7: if I was a prop better, if I really was like, 870 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 7: all right, I'm just gonna bet props and nothing else, 871 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,680 Speaker 7: like it's all we're gonna do, I would have at 872 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,800 Speaker 7: least ten to fifteen prop bets on every game because 873 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,120 Speaker 7: I would like map out the script and then bet 874 00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 7: the script via the prop market. Instead of thinking, here's 875 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,479 Speaker 7: how I think the script is gonna go. Let's bet 876 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 7: the Giants to cover, which I wouldn't do that much 877 00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 7: this year, but you get the point. I would just 878 00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,440 Speaker 7: bet the script, like, hey, I think the Giants offensive 879 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:38,920 Speaker 7: line has an edge here, so we're gonna bet the 880 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 7: running back props over. Or I think the secondary for 881 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 7: this team is bad, so let's bet the receiver props over. 882 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 7: And I would blanket because Thissley happens and then you're screwed. 883 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:51,919 Speaker 3: Yeah that's rough, right there, man. 884 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 4: And it's the opposite if you're That's what's kind of 885 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 4: weird about the prop market to one of the things 886 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 4: that are weird. And trust me, I love the market itself, 887 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 4: but every now and then it makes you. 888 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 3: Tear your hair out. 889 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,200 Speaker 4: If you're on over will Disley yardage and he has 890 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 4: this random fluke shoulder injury before halftime and he's out 891 00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,000 Speaker 4: for the rest of the game, You're like, really, now, 892 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 4: if you're on the under, you cast your ticket immediately, 893 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,839 Speaker 4: And that's kind of weird. That's the weird part where 894 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 4: it's not like you want to start high five in 895 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,560 Speaker 4: your buddy's like, shoulder injury, baby, Yeah it was one 896 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,600 Speaker 4: of our outs, right, Like, it's kind of odd. But yeah, 897 00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 4: there are times where you get home specifically because an 898 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,359 Speaker 4: injury occurs. Otherwise you would have been wrong. That's what's 899 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 4: weird about the prop bet market. Okay, we get to 900 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,640 Speaker 4: Army Navy here today and looking forward to it, I 901 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 4: think this is do you want to brand this as 902 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,359 Speaker 4: the two teams who got waxed by Notre Dame? 903 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 3: Is that how you want to build this matchup? Yeah, 904 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 3: that's right. 905 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 4: And then also what stands out to me, Army quarterback 906 00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 4: Bryson Daily, this stat We know how special Ashton gent 907 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 4: has been for State, right He's a Heisman Trophy finalist. 908 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 4: Twenty nine touchdowns this season for Ashton genty that's the 909 00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 4: same number of rushing touchdowns as Army quarterback Bryce and 910 00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 4: day Low. That's pretty remarkable, is it not? 911 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: It is? It really is. 912 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 6: And this is actually a fun one, or more fun 913 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 6: than some years past, because you have a situation where 914 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 6: both these teams are pretty good. You know what I mean, 915 00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 6: you look at the records. You have a what is 916 00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 6: an eleven win Army team taking on an eight win 917 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 6: Navy team? If I have the records, crip, that's that's 918 00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,560 Speaker 6: It's just it's I don't know, listen, does. 919 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:40,040 Speaker 1: It really matter? 920 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,880 Speaker 6: No, because the pomp and circumstance and just a quick sidebar, 921 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:50,880 Speaker 6: I mean, the sacrifice that our uniformed men and women 922 00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:54,439 Speaker 6: making this country to protect us so we can goof 923 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:58,239 Speaker 6: around on sports talk radio. I mean, it is a 924 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 6: sacrifice that is a beautiful one and the reason why 925 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 6: we live so free and so alongside the football, we're 926 00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,920 Speaker 6: gonna celebrate those brave souls on the field who are 927 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:12,400 Speaker 6: gonna protect us. But yeah, I mean, it makes it, 928 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 6: It makes it even more interesting. It makes it all 929 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 6: the better when there's some national interest in the players, 930 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 6: and also the fact that these teams are good, like 931 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,440 Speaker 6: we're gonna see some pretty good football out there today. 932 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, and I'm glad you mentioned the wins, Rich because 933 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 7: it's a historic game. Nineteen combined wins is the most 934 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:37,440 Speaker 7: ever entering this matchup ever, so these are and I 935 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,640 Speaker 7: know Army and Navy have had successful seasons in years past, 936 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,880 Speaker 7: they played fewer games, so you have to take that 937 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,759 Speaker 7: stat for what it is. And I know they won 938 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,000 Speaker 7: national championships of course back in the day, and then 939 00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 7: you know the new Rockney era, and so again there 940 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 7: was more on the line in those days in terms 941 00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,120 Speaker 7: of football acumen and prowess and championships. But I think 942 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 7: in terms of the modern day Army Navy game, this 943 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:04,239 Speaker 7: is probably the most the best matchup we've had of 944 00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,080 Speaker 7: these teams and the success that they've had on the field. 945 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 5: But you also alluded to the. 946 00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 7: Pomp and circumstance, which I love that phrase because as 947 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 7: much as this game is a football game, it means 948 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 7: a lot more. 949 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 5: And I'm a bit nostalgic, getting. 950 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,320 Speaker 7: A little older, a little more conservative in my older 951 00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 7: age hair as I approached forty. But to me, this 952 00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,760 Speaker 7: game is on the bucket, like I need to attend 953 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 7: this game at some point in my life. I will 954 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:34,280 Speaker 7: not consider my life complete as a sports fan unless 955 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,520 Speaker 7: I attend this game in person and actually see what transpires. 956 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,440 Speaker 7: It is from what I've heard from people who have 957 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,080 Speaker 7: attended it covered it, it is everything you could possibly 958 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,280 Speaker 7: ask for in terms of just representing what this country 959 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 7: is and how difficult college sports can be. And then 960 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,360 Speaker 7: you throw on the fact that they have to go 961 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,880 Speaker 7: represent their country and go protect their country, and that 962 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,600 Speaker 7: added level of responsibility I think gives this game so 963 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,239 Speaker 7: much more meaning. As for the game itself, I think 964 00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 7: we're gonna have more offense this year, guys, I honestly do. 965 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:06,520 Speaker 5: I hope we do, because I bet the over in 966 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:06,919 Speaker 5: the game. 967 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:12,160 Speaker 7: These teams have been offensively challenged in years past, but 968 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,439 Speaker 7: that's not the case this year. 969 00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 5: In fact, I did some of the stats. 970 00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 7: How about this army Last year averaged twenty and a 971 00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 7: half points per game, three hundred and eleven yards per game, 972 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 7: four point six yards per play. This year we're up 973 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,279 Speaker 7: to thirty three points per game, almost four hundred yards 974 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,160 Speaker 7: per game. Six point two yards per play. 975 00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 5: Navy's almost doubled. 976 00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,160 Speaker 7: How about that Navy went from seventeen points per game 977 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,040 Speaker 7: last year to thirty two points per game this year. 978 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,120 Speaker 5: Just, I mean, talk about a renovation. 979 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 7: And Drew Kronik, their offensive coordinators, nominated for the Broyles 980 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,440 Speaker 7: Award as the nation's. 981 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,680 Speaker 5: Top assist and he's done such a good job. 982 00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:43,640 Speaker 7: I think this is gonna be an awesome football game, 983 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 7: not just because of that pomping circumstance, but I think 984 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 7: there's some really good players on the field and we're 985 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,399 Speaker 7: gonna have some offense in this game. 986 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:51,120 Speaker 5: So give y up. 987 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:55,319 Speaker 4: Maybe you know it's funny you start talking about maybe 988 00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 4: you're like your bucket list type thing, like wanting to 989 00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,960 Speaker 4: go see Army Navy. Thought about it until you said that, Jared, 990 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 4: Where what if you did the opposite, where whatever your 991 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 4: list is, one of the experiences that you could take 992 00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 4: off of the list and it wouldn't. 993 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 3: Have it wouldn't hurt you at all. Like, you know, 994 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,120 Speaker 3: I went to this game and man, it was a dud. 995 00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:18,800 Speaker 4: You know, if I could if I couldn't. 996 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, if I could trade. 997 00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 4: That experience for something else like whatever. 998 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,040 Speaker 7: When sakwon Barkley returned the opening kick for a touchdown, 999 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,799 Speaker 7: and I blew a three touchdown lead in the fourth quarter. 1000 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 3: Yeat, okay, you would trade that in. 1001 00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:29,920 Speaker 5: I would trade that out for Army Navy right now. 1002 00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 4: You would pawn that game, right and whatever cash? Yeah 1003 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 4: for Army and Navy. 1004 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 3: But no, I hear you. Like listen, Army. 1005 00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 4: Has been really good this season and Navy has had 1006 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 4: a good year too. And there are some years where 1007 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 4: you look at the records. Both you guys have made 1008 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:47,000 Speaker 4: this point. 1009 00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:48,000 Speaker 3: You look at the. 1010 00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:50,279 Speaker 4: Records and you're like, oh my gosh, we gotta sell 1011 00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 4: this four and eight Army team versus like three and 1012 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:57,799 Speaker 4: nine Navy or like these teams have been good this season. Yeah, 1013 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,839 Speaker 4: And it reminded me this is years go but soon 1014 00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 4: to be president again. Donald Trump, he was at an 1015 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,799 Speaker 4: Army Navy game and like he's being interviewed and he's 1016 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 4: trying to say nice things, and this is all he 1017 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,720 Speaker 4: could say about the game. 1018 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if it's necessarily the best football, 1019 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:15,200 Speaker 6: but it's very good. 1020 00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:18,960 Speaker 1: But but do they have spirit? They have spirit? 1021 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,080 Speaker 5: You got spirit? 1022 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: Yes, you do? 1023 00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 5: Yeah? 1024 00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: Got spirit. 1025 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 4: I don't know if this is any good, but man, 1026 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,359 Speaker 4: they're trying, man, they are. 1027 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:28,040 Speaker 3: They're giving it the old college try. That's all he had. 1028 00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 4: But you can actually say this is actually good quality football. 1029 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:33,879 Speaker 5: Yep. 1030 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 4: I mean it's not gonna like drop your jaw, but 1031 00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,040 Speaker 4: it's going to be better than it has been in 1032 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:40,480 Speaker 4: other instances. 1033 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:41,680 Speaker 3: These are good teams. 1034 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:42,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Army. 1035 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:45,960 Speaker 6: I think they kind of went through a mid season 1036 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 6: rebirth a little bit, you know, they they they toiled 1037 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,640 Speaker 6: a little bit there, but pulled it together nicely. They 1038 00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,440 Speaker 6: seem slightly different than they were when they started this 1039 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,359 Speaker 6: season in terms of Navy if you look at them 1040 00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,080 Speaker 6: and maybe a little bit of the same story. They're 1041 00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:04,280 Speaker 6: definitely a different team, like many teams late this season 1042 00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,080 Speaker 6: than they were to start with. But this offense over 1043 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 6: the offseason changed in a big way. Obviously still employing 1044 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 6: you know, option offense, but the hybrid offense, the play 1045 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,680 Speaker 6: action pass game has really really helped them pile up 1046 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 6: some points when they need to. That first six game 1047 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 6: run they went on was insane. I mean they were 1048 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 6: just scoring fifty points. It felt like every week they 1049 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,360 Speaker 6: won six in a row. So again, like you said, 1050 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 6: we're actually gonna see offense, and I think that's been 1051 00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:46,799 Speaker 6: hallmark of this game. Army Navy plays, Hey, we're gonna 1052 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,960 Speaker 6: bet the under, We're gonna salute the troops, we're gonna 1053 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 6: move on with our day. But with two teams who have, 1054 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,480 Speaker 6: like Jared pointed out, had more wins combined than at 1055 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,719 Speaker 6: any point we've ever seen in this matchup, this is 1056 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,040 Speaker 6: going to be one of those those celebrations not only 1057 00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:09,360 Speaker 6: of the bravery of the literal kids on the field 1058 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,520 Speaker 6: who have signed up for for a length of time 1059 00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,359 Speaker 6: to protect us, but also a pretty dang good football game. 1060 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,400 Speaker 6: So it's more than we can say in years past. 1061 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 6: It's not just about spirit this time. It's it's about 1062 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 6: some serious bragging rights, some serious bragging rights. 1063 00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,439 Speaker 7: I really hope they interview Trump again and he hits 1064 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:33,839 Speaker 7: a chance to you know, I don't want to say 1065 00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 7: amend his original opinion. His original opinion was correct on 1066 00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,200 Speaker 7: the game. It was very spirited. It wasn't great football 1067 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,719 Speaker 7: that year he watched. I hope he gets a chance 1068 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 7: to talk about how great the football is this year, 1069 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,800 Speaker 7: because it really has been fantastic. There was a point 1070 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,120 Speaker 7: early in the year where I was kicking myself just 1071 00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 7: for not betting Army Navy just bet Army Navy. Every 1072 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 7: week you're gonna win, you're gonna cover. That was the 1073 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 7: vibe very early in the year. And as they do, 1074 00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,680 Speaker 7: defenses a jost right, they managed up in schedule. 1075 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,759 Speaker 5: Again, it's Notre Dame and you saw all right. 1076 00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 7: You know they're good against Air Force and UAB and 1077 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,440 Speaker 7: Temple and Charlotte, but they're not great against. 1078 00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 5: The big boys. 1079 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,759 Speaker 7: But also then injuries became a big factor just because 1080 00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:12,040 Speaker 7: of the style that these two teams play play. Corback 1081 00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,680 Speaker 7: has been in and out of the lineup. He says 1082 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,800 Speaker 7: he's healthy, so that is an important part of this game. 1083 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:19,840 Speaker 7: He's had two weeks off. Of course, Army had to 1084 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,520 Speaker 7: play last week. Bryson Daily also dealing with an injury. 1085 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 7: He looked healthy last week, but we'll get to it 1086 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 7: in the prop segment. I think there's another runner on 1087 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 7: Army's team that, because of the Bryson Daily injury, is 1088 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:33,239 Speaker 7: probably somebody you should focus on today. But I'm just 1089 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:35,879 Speaker 7: excited to, you know, sit back and watch this one. 1090 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,719 Speaker 7: It's a standalone game noon Pacific. Nothing else going on 1091 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:40,960 Speaker 7: besides the college Basketball card today and a couple of 1092 00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,680 Speaker 7: those FCS games. But just in general, the market has 1093 00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,560 Speaker 7: responded to these teams. Like last year, this total was 1094 00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,000 Speaker 7: twenty eight. I repeat that, the total in this game 1095 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,120 Speaker 7: last year was twenty eight. It landed right on the 1096 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,279 Speaker 7: total because of a safety on the last play. Go 1097 00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 7: back and watch the last sequence of the final drive 1098 00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:58,920 Speaker 7: of last year's game. 1099 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,680 Speaker 5: It was an awesome finish. 1100 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 7: But we've seen an eleven point adjustment on the total 1101 00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,000 Speaker 7: now of thirty nine, and I don't know if it's 1102 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,720 Speaker 7: a big enough adjustment. I think you know, the average 1103 00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 7: total in this game over the last twenty years. 1104 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 5: Has been about forty five. 1105 00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:13,759 Speaker 7: I frankly think that's where the total should be this year, 1106 00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:15,959 Speaker 7: definitely in the low forty, So I think we're gonna 1107 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 7: see more points. 1108 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 5: I think the over is the way. 1109 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:17,920 Speaker 1: To play it. 1110 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,480 Speaker 4: It's just funny, man, when you start. I'm sure you 1111 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,719 Speaker 4: guys feel the same way. Sometimes when you're breaking down 1112 00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:27,000 Speaker 4: a game, you can get lost in the weeds. 1113 00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 3: And sometimes that's a good thing. 1114 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a bad thing, because every now and then 1115 00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,320 Speaker 4: a game is surface level. Yeah, and if you start 1116 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 4: with the surface level, Army can run the ball really well. 1117 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:44,480 Speaker 4: Navy cannot stop the rush very well. Like Navy, you 1118 00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:47,359 Speaker 4: start with that how's Navy against the rush because they're 1119 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,000 Speaker 4: taking on Army.

His team is getting ready for the 1161 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,959 Speaker 4: Alamo Bowl, and he was asked, hey, are you gonna 1162 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 4: have any opt outs over here? 1163 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: Right? 1164 00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,719 Speaker 4: Is typically what we see this time of year, especially 1165 00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,759 Speaker 4: for teams that are not in the playoff. Coach Prime 1166 00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:16,200 Speaker 4: was basically saying, hey, we don't tap out. There's a 1167 00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,400 Speaker 4: certain player who might win the ht What am I 1168 00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,880 Speaker 4: saying is going to win the Heisman this week that 1169 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 4: will be playing. There's a certain quarterback who will be playing. 1170 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 4: Every senior, every NFL hopeful is going to suit up 1171 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,040 Speaker 4: and play. And he's like, it's a privilege to play 1172 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,360 Speaker 4: this game, and so we don't tap out. I love it, 1173 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,439 Speaker 4: and it's a it's a weird tightrope we're walking here 1174 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:44,440 Speaker 4: right where. Yes, I understand if you're projected to be 1175 00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:47,479 Speaker 4: a first round or a top ten pick and you're 1176 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,919 Speaker 4: literally risking millions of dollars should you suffer a big 1177 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:51,640 Speaker 4: time injury. 1178 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 3: I get it why there are opt outs. 1179 00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,640 Speaker 4: But at the same time, remember when Bryce Young did 1180 00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,640 Speaker 4: this at Alabama. He played a non playoff bowl game 1181 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,200 Speaker 4: through like five touchdown passes and went on to be 1182 00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,840 Speaker 4: the number one overall pick. I just think sometimes we 1183 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,680 Speaker 4: overstate how much risk or how much of a chance 1184 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,600 Speaker 4: a player is taking by getting out on the field 1185 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,240 Speaker 4: one more time, you know. And it's just funny to 1186 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 4: me where a lot of fans have complained over the 1187 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 4: years that players are just like all about the money 1188 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,080 Speaker 4: and they don't care about the game or any and 1189 00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,520 Speaker 4: now we get players that actually show you they're caring 1190 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,360 Speaker 4: about the sport, their teammates, the love of the game, 1191 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,240 Speaker 4: all that good stuff, and people are calling them out 1192 00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,800 Speaker 4: for it, like why you're risking all your money? 1193 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: What's going on here? 1194 00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 4: It's like they're doing what you want, and now you 1195 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:42,919 Speaker 4: have a problem with that too. 1196 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,360 Speaker 3: There's no pleasing you. So I love what Colorado is doing. 1197 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,320 Speaker 4: I obviously hope there are no injuries at all, especially 1198 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 4: major injuries, But I think it's awesome that they're going 1199 00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,880 Speaker 4: out there and playing the game. That's I don't think 1200 00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 4: there's anything wrong with that whatsoever. 1201 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,640 Speaker 6: It's it's the scene and gladiator, you know, are you 1202 00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:03,680 Speaker 6: not entertained? 1203 00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 1: Are you not entertained? 1204 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:09,160 Speaker 6: It's that's exactly what you're talking about. There is no 1205 00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,360 Speaker 6: pleasing everyone. There is no pleasing everyone. You could be 1206 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,080 Speaker 6: a winner, but you didn't win the right way. You 1207 00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,040 Speaker 6: could be a loser, but you know what you should 1208 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 6: have won. It doesn't it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. 1209 00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:27,400 Speaker 6: So if you if your effort is to make sure 1210 00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,000 Speaker 6: that everyone loves you, you will spend your life trying 1211 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:35,560 Speaker 6: to fill a bottomless void. It's not gonna work. It's 1212 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:39,920 Speaker 6: not gonna happen. Move on, find a different pursuit. Pursuit 1213 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:44,440 Speaker 6: because that's a trivial pursuit. This is what what it 1214 00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 6: should be. Get Get with your coach, Get with the 1215 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:53,000 Speaker 6: people who love you the most. Speak to maybe some players, 1216 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:57,040 Speaker 6: former collegiate players, uh and current pros who may have 1217 00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:00,080 Speaker 6: some advice for you, and some perspective for you, and 1218 01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 6: some outlook for you that maybe you weren't thinking of. 1219 01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,640 Speaker 6: You know, since you've never done any of this before, 1220 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:10,160 Speaker 6: reach out to people. Speak to the community. Because I'm 1221 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:13,960 Speaker 6: telling you, as a former professional football player, if I 1222 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,880 Speaker 6: had a college kid from Penn State, try to reach 1223 01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 6: out to me because he wanted advice on what he 1224 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,440 Speaker 6: should do in a situation, it would be my pleasure 1225 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:23,280 Speaker 6: to give. 1226 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,120 Speaker 1: Him a little advice. 1227 01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:27,479 Speaker 6: So find somebody who you can you know, grab great 1228 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,920 Speaker 6: advice from, and and and find a lot of people 1229 01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:32,880 Speaker 6: who you can grab great advice from and make the 1230 01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 6: decision best for you. Deon Sanders is doing what Deon 1231 01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,240 Speaker 6: Sanders should do because it's it's almost like. 1232 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 1: A television show. 1233 01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:43,600 Speaker 6: A television show will say, hey, we are the top 1234 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 6: show in prime time. Well, you only say you only 1235 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,480 Speaker 6: talk about ratings when you got him. It's not like 1236 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 6: if you're the twentieth place show on TV, you're gonna 1237 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 6: be like, hey, gang, we cracked the top twenty. Like, no, 1238 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:00,720 Speaker 6: you're gonna stee away from that. So so this year, 1239 01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,000 Speaker 6: Dion has the buy in from the top players on 1240 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 6: his team. He's also related to one of them, so 1241 01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 6: that helps. But he's got the buying. So that's the 1242 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 6: reason why he's talking about this. If Deon Sanders continues 1243 01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 6: his collegiate coaching career next season, he's got a bunch 1244 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 6: of guys opting out of the bowl game that Colorado 1245 01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,400 Speaker 6: pears in. Do you think he's gonna be up there 1246 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:24,440 Speaker 6: cheerleading the same way he is this year? The answer 1247 01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,760 Speaker 6: is no. But he's got the ratings. So he's talking 1248 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 6: about being number one in prime time and that's what 1249 01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 6: Dion does best. He pounds his chest when it's good 1250 01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 6: for him, good for his football program, and we all 1251 01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:39,880 Speaker 6: know that, and so that is what he's doing. These 1252 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:43,000 Speaker 6: players are making the best choice they feel for themselves, 1253 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,920 Speaker 6: and I think, you know, you could call it selfish 1254 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 6: or not, that's the state of the game, and they 1255 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 6: want to play. 1256 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:49,439 Speaker 1: They're gonna play. 1257 01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:54,040 Speaker 6: The next crop of Colorado Buffalo superstars to come out 1258 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,400 Speaker 6: of that school may opt out of their bowl game, 1259 01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 6: and guess what, In my opinion, that's a good choice too, 1260 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 6: because it's their choice. 1261 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:03,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1262 01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:06,560 Speaker 7: I think true power in this case is the ability 1263 01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 7: to control the outlook, not the outcome. And I think 1264 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 7: that that's where coach Prime's. 1265 01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,000 Speaker 5: Really good at being a coach. 1266 01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,640 Speaker 7: Agree, I think I think the mindset for him and 1267 01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:22,280 Speaker 7: how he translates that mindset to his players I think 1268 01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,680 Speaker 7: has led to this culture change with Colorado. 1269 01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 5: Does that mean the rest. 1270 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:30,040 Speaker 7: Of the sport will piggyback off of this and maybe 1271 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,840 Speaker 7: be a little bit more aggressive with with how many 1272 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,600 Speaker 7: players play during bowl season. 1273 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,280 Speaker 5: That are not obviously college football playoff games. 1274 01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:42,040 Speaker 7: Maybe I could see the pendulum swinging back right like 1275 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,720 Speaker 7: we were in a two year period there where it's 1276 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,400 Speaker 7: like nobody was playing, and now we've had a couple 1277 01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 7: of guys that have maybe kind of broken the picket line. 1278 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 7: And you know, Bryce Young, you mentioned that one that 1279 01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 7: was a pretty big one, Brian, There's been a couple of. 1280 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,680 Speaker 5: Other ones over time. 1281 01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 7: I think another big one is Colin McCord, the Syracuse 1282 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,960 Speaker 7: quarterback announce actually live during like a charity event on 1283 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 7: local Syracuse TV that he was gonna be playing in 1284 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 7: their bowl game. So you're starting to get some big 1285 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:11,800 Speaker 7: time in common courts supposed to be other than Shudur Sanders, 1286 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 7: one of the top quarterbacks in this class. So you're 1287 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:18,280 Speaker 7: you're starting to see maybe the pendulum swing back right, 1288 01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,320 Speaker 7: just like just like everything else, like. 1289 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,280 Speaker 5: It, it goes and then it comes. 1290 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 7: And I would not be shocked if more college football 1291 01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,480 Speaker 7: players grasped onto the nostalgia of playing in their last game, 1292 01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:34,360 Speaker 7: because again, true power is not the ability to control 1293 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:35,920 Speaker 7: the outcome, but the outlook. 1294 01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:37,200 Speaker 5: And I think that's. 1295 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,840 Speaker 7: Where college football needs a little bit more of a 1296 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 7: positive spin on this ball season, because over the last 1297 01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,120 Speaker 7: few years it's been negative. It has been very, very negative, 1298 01:03:46,120 --> 01:03:48,000 Speaker 7: and I think that's the to go back to your 1299 01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,360 Speaker 7: original point, Brian, like people almost don't know how to 1300 01:03:50,360 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 7: respond when they get what they want, Like we're crying 1301 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 7: for these guys to play, then they play. 1302 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:59,560 Speaker 5: Like whoa, whoa, You're gonna actually play? That's crazy. And 1303 01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 5: that's more about the indecision in the level of uh. 1304 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,720 Speaker 7: I guess I'll call it insightfulness of our society as 1305 01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:09,200 Speaker 7: a whole. It could be a little shallow sometimes, but 1306 01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 7: I applaud it, like whatever decision best suits you, I 1307 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:13,640 Speaker 7: applaud well. 1308 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,959 Speaker 4: And cam Ward from Miami he expected to play. Also, 1309 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:18,480 Speaker 4: he could be a top five pick. 1310 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:19,240 Speaker 5: How about that? 1311 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,680 Speaker 7: Three top quarterbacks in the draft, Sanders, Ward, and McCord 1312 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:23,600 Speaker 7: probably all gonna play. 1313 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,440 Speaker 6: That's I will say this though, And Brian, I'm curious 1314 01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:29,760 Speaker 6: your thoughts on this. Does it change how you feel 1315 01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,400 Speaker 6: about it if you know that they're making say, each 1316 01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 6: of them is gonna make a cool million for their 1317 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,360 Speaker 6: appearance in the Bowl game. So this is less about 1318 01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:43,080 Speaker 6: hey school spirit, Hey man, it's for my teammates. Gosh, 1319 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,360 Speaker 6: I love this coach. He's been like a father to me. 1320 01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 6: And it's more about you know what, through name, image 1321 01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,440 Speaker 6: and likeness appearing in the Holiday Bowl. 1322 01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:52,840 Speaker 1: If you're Kyle McCord. 1323 01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,920 Speaker 6: You're gonna make an extra five hundred thousand dollars because 1324 01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 6: corporate sponsors have attached themselves to you like an race 1325 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:03,480 Speaker 6: car driver. So I mean, does that change how you 1326 01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:04,120 Speaker 6: feel about it? 1327 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 3: Be no, no, no, it really doesn't. 1328 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 4: Because listen, these guys are gonna go to the NFL 1329 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:11,760 Speaker 4: and make way more than what they're gonna make in 1330 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 4: the bowl game. And I could play Devil's advocate and say, hey, 1331 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:17,600 Speaker 4: you're you're taking is. 1332 01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,080 Speaker 3: The is the risk worth the reward? 1333 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:20,680 Speaker 1: Right? 1334 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,440 Speaker 4: Like, if we're just looking at it dollars and cents wise, 1335 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 4: you could absolutely make the argument where whatever you're gonna 1336 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,920 Speaker 4: make five hundred k a million dollars this one game, 1337 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 4: what if you suffer a big time injury and that 1338 01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:35,480 Speaker 4: drastically hurts your draft stock, you're taking it on the 1339 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 4: chin much more there. So just financially, the risk doesn't 1340 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 4: outweigh the reward for guys that are expected to be 1341 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:46,760 Speaker 4: top draft picks. So this is for playing football. I 1342 01:05:46,760 --> 01:05:48,880 Speaker 4: want to get out there with my guys. You know that, 1343 01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:51,920 Speaker 4: that's predominantly what it is. And hey, if you get 1344 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 4: an extra payday on top of it, great, But if 1345 01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,960 Speaker 4: these guys were maybe gonna be seventh round draft picks. 1346 01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 4: I would look at that a lot more getting paid 1347 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,160 Speaker 4: in the bowl games. But when you know when Shador 1348 01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 4: Sanders and cam Ward could easily be top five picks, 1349 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,240 Speaker 4: I don't think that that registers as much the payday 1350 01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:14,120 Speaker 4: for the bowl game. 1351 01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,600 Speaker 3: So yeah, I just think I think it's great. 1352 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:19,320 Speaker 4: I think it's great that they want to suit up 1353 01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 4: and play, And again I would get it if they didn't, 1354 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 4: but it's cool that it's changed. 1355 01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,200 Speaker 3: Where think of cam Ward in Miami, they were. 1356 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 4: This close to a playoff berth and now they're not 1357 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 4: even in the playoff. He could easily say I'm a 1358 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 4: top five pick, I don't have time for this, and 1359 01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 4: he's like, I'll be out there against Iowa State. 1360 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,800 Speaker 5: I think he saw Gransfer too, so he has no 1361 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 5: affiliation in Miami besides this year. 1362 01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 4: That's right, that's right. Now we go from that to 1363 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,959 Speaker 4: a player who did tap out. So this is forty 1364 01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 4: nine Ers linebacker Devondre So this was Thursday Night Football 1365 01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:58,520 Speaker 4: Niners taking on the Rams, and the backstory is so 1366 01:06:59,080 --> 01:07:02,960 Speaker 4: Devondre cam he started twelve games this season and played 1367 01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:07,919 Speaker 4: ninety percent of the defensive snaps and so Dre Greenlaw, 1368 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:12,080 Speaker 4: another linebacker, he was back from injury. Finally on Thursday night, 1369 01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 4: he suffered this fluke injury in the Super Bowl against 1370 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:17,600 Speaker 4: the Chiefs where he's just running on the field and 1371 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 4: jacked up his achilles. So dev Andre Campbell had been 1372 01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:26,440 Speaker 4: playing all this time. Dre Greenlaw comes back, and now 1373 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:30,880 Speaker 4: Defondre Campbell isn't playing anymore. So another linebacker gets hurt 1374 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,960 Speaker 4: and the Niners are like, hey, Campbell, you're in and 1375 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 4: Defandra Campbell's like. 1376 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:35,920 Speaker 5: No, I'm not. 1377 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 3: He's like, oh, now you need me. 1378 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,600 Speaker 4: Huh, and he refused to go back in the game. 1379 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:46,200 Speaker 4: That is the worst sin you can commit as an athlete. 1380 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:50,040 Speaker 4: It's not just about you and not being on the field. 1381 01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 4: You're giving up on your teammates right there. And to 1382 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 4: hear what some of the Niners had to say after 1383 01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,120 Speaker 4: the game, Wow, they did not. 1384 01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,000 Speaker 3: Hold anything back. This was George Kittle what he had done. 1385 01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:00,280 Speaker 5: Say. 1386 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 9: I don't like distractions on the sideline. I think that's ignorant, 1387 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:07,400 Speaker 9: and I think it's just dumb. It's just stupid, and 1388 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 9: it's very immature, and I just don't I don't see 1389 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,120 Speaker 9: how that's a I just don't see how you can 1390 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:12,920 Speaker 9: do something like that to. 1391 01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 1: You know, to your team. 1392 01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:19,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, they called it dumb and stupid, a distraction. Tarvarius Ward, 1393 01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 4: he said, that's some sucker stuff. 1394 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:23,759 Speaker 5: I heard that. Yeah, funny. 1395 01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,559 Speaker 3: It's probably get cut soon. 1396 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 4: You normally don't hear teammates say things like that about 1397 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,400 Speaker 4: other teammates. But the Niners they were not feeling DeAndre 1398 01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,519 Speaker 4: Campbell not going into that game and leaving the field early. 1399 01:08:36,760 --> 01:08:38,839 Speaker 4: That's the last time he'll suit up for the Niners. 1400 01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,360 Speaker 4: Wild You could speak to this better than anybody. 1401 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:41,639 Speaker 1: Rich. 1402 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,599 Speaker 3: What do you think of a teammate that just. 1403 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,639 Speaker 4: Refuses to go back in the game because he's got 1404 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:46,719 Speaker 4: to be for some reason. 1405 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:51,599 Speaker 6: It is the ultimate expression of selfishness. What the Devondre 1406 01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 6: Campbell did? You are a player on a team who 1407 01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 6: these opportunities are fleeting. You know, Brock Purdy is an 1408 01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:06,360 Speaker 6: example of a guy who he's the last pick of 1409 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:09,160 Speaker 6: the draft. He got an opportunity, he made the most 1410 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,880 Speaker 6: out of it, and he's the starting quarterback for a 1411 01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,720 Speaker 6: team that has visited the Super Bowl. Now, you know, 1412 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:19,120 Speaker 6: this is a league of opportunity, and what he's doing 1413 01:09:19,200 --> 01:09:22,200 Speaker 6: is potentially stealing bread off the table of a teammate 1414 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:27,280 Speaker 6: because he made that decision in game. There's only forty 1415 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:31,000 Speaker 6: six active players who can suit up every Sunday, every Thursday, 1416 01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 6: every Monday night, and so somebody else should have been 1417 01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 6: on that sideline, backing up the linebacker position instead of you, 1418 01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:42,439 Speaker 6: de Andre, How dare you put on your helmet for 1419 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:46,439 Speaker 6: that game and steal bread off of your teammate's table. 1420 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,800 Speaker 6: It's it's when you said sin that's right. I mean, 1421 01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,519 Speaker 6: this is this is damning, this is the stuff that 1422 01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 6: ends careers. Is a young man and it's a young 1423 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,519 Speaker 6: man's game, and young men make bad decisions. Young people 1424 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 6: make bad decisions. So I hope he learns from it, 1425 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,680 Speaker 6: and I hope that he feels the weight of the decision, 1426 01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:13,440 Speaker 6: and I hope that if he if he is, you know, apologetic, 1427 01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 6: if he is remorseful, that he's given a second chance 1428 01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,719 Speaker 6: and he can continue playing throughout his career and have. 1429 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: A successful career. I really do wish that for him. 1430 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 6: But I hope he learns from this lesson, because that's 1431 01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,400 Speaker 6: a big mistake, and that's one that there's gonna be 1432 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,200 Speaker 6: a lot of pro personnel directors around the NFL going 1433 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,480 Speaker 6: not on our squad nope, not for a backup linebacker, 1434 01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,559 Speaker 6: not for a teamer, not for a special teams guy, like, 1435 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:41,680 Speaker 6: we don't got room on our roster for that kind 1436 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:45,120 Speaker 6: of attitude. So I hope it's not a career ender. 1437 01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,320 Speaker 6: If he can learn from it, I hope he's remorseful. 1438 01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 6: But this is the height of selfishness, and he didn't. 1439 01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 6: He may not have realized all that in the moment, 1440 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,840 Speaker 6: but that's that's essentially what he did. 1441 01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:58,080 Speaker 1: And and by the. 1442 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 6: Way, he's on a team where a lot lot of 1443 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 6: guys are playing through some some stuff now, a lot 1444 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,439 Speaker 6: of injuries on this team, a lot of people playing 1445 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:11,599 Speaker 6: through some personal turmoil that nobody expected. Look at Chavarius Ward, 1446 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,200 Speaker 6: what he's going through personally, lost a kid. 1447 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,479 Speaker 1: Look at Trent Williams. 1448 01:11:16,120 --> 01:11:19,679 Speaker 6: Still born birth him and his wife had to suffer 1449 01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 6: through this season. He's trying to fight his ass to 1450 01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,560 Speaker 6: get back on that football. 1451 01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:24,160 Speaker 1: Field for his brothers. 1452 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:29,720 Speaker 6: Look at look at their first round draft pick, oh gosh, which. 1453 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:33,160 Speaker 1: He was shot in the chest. 1454 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 6: He fought his ass off to get on that field 1455 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 6: that you refuse to go out on. Are you kidding me? 1456 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:43,639 Speaker 6: I mean, it is the height of selfishness. So again, 1457 01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:47,559 Speaker 6: I hope he learns his lesson. I I don't understand it. 1458 01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,040 Speaker 6: I I don't think many people can understand it, But 1459 01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:52,320 Speaker 6: I hope he learned his lesson. 1460 01:11:53,200 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was well said. 1461 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,800 Speaker 7: And again I the player aspect of it and what 1462 01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,560 Speaker 7: you've gone through, Rich, I think is the perfect backdrop 1463 01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,800 Speaker 7: to this, because you've probably been hired to do some 1464 01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,639 Speaker 7: gigs on the football field where you knew, all right, 1465 01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 7: I've got to I really gotta work hard here. And 1466 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,080 Speaker 7: even if I work hard, when the starter comes back, 1467 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:15,440 Speaker 7: or if I'm filling in for someone else, that starter. 1468 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,120 Speaker 5: Usually gets his job back, Like unless. 1469 01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:20,960 Speaker 7: You're Wally Pipped to Luke Garrett or Tom Brady to 1470 01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:23,760 Speaker 7: Drew Bledsoe, and like unless you're the greatest quarterback that's 1471 01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:27,759 Speaker 7: ever lived, you are not going to keep that gig 1472 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 7: after the starter comes back. So maybe there was some 1473 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 7: miscommunication when the Niner signed him and they said, hey, 1474 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:36,840 Speaker 7: this is your job. But I'm betting on that not 1475 01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:38,960 Speaker 7: being the case. I bet John Lynch looked him right 1476 01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,479 Speaker 7: in the eyes and said, you are the placeholder for 1477 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,960 Speaker 7: Drake Greenlaw, and when Drake comes back, you were gonna 1478 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,320 Speaker 7: go back to the bench. Now, maybe you can go 1479 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 7: play in another element, but you're not gonna keep that 1480 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:52,839 Speaker 7: starting spot after dra comes back. I've thought a million 1481 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,679 Speaker 7: filling gigs in my life when the starter comes back. 1482 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,479 Speaker 5: I've never kept one of those filling gigs. It's always 1483 01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 5: gone back to the starter. 1484 01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 7: So again, unless you're Tom Brady, which Devondra Campbell is not. Yeah, 1485 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,559 Speaker 7: one of the one of the dumbest decisions he's probably made. 1486 01:13:07,600 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 7: I'm sure he's regarding it today. 1487 01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1488 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:13,000 Speaker 4: And add to the list Fred Warner, another linebacker who's playing. 1489 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:13,920 Speaker 3: With a fractured ankle. 1490 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Yep. 1491 01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,639 Speaker 4: And I would love to hear Fred Warner's take on 1492 01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:21,920 Speaker 4: that after the game, where it's like, oh my. 1493 01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:23,960 Speaker 7: God, well that's probably why the Niners push back so 1494 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,800 Speaker 7: hard in the locker. Like you never hear that kind 1495 01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:29,240 Speaker 7: of pushback from the players, right right, And a lot. 1496 01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,479 Speaker 4: Of times even the head coach he'll just be like, yeah, 1497 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 4: you know, vague, you don't get any specifics. 1498 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:35,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just one. 1499 01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,320 Speaker 4: Of those deals. What do you mean, one of those deals. Yeah, 1500 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:39,559 Speaker 4: just one of those deals, you know. 1501 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't even know. 1502 01:13:41,560 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 4: He was like, yeah, no, he decided he was gonna 1503 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 4: go in the game. Yeah, that's that's what happened right 1504 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:50,240 Speaker 4: aar thanks to Rapid Radios, the official communication device of 1505 01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:53,519 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio.

Actually, because he has he is a service 1546 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,000 Speaker 6: dog when it comes to my bets. I'll tell you 1547 01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:52,960 Speaker 6: right now, I needed the service dog with all the 1548 01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:55,760 Speaker 6: Tyson tickets I had for that Jake Palfie. 1549 01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,040 Speaker 7: I used the fodder as betting for Jack's cage with 1550 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:03,360 Speaker 7: all the tickets that you rip. All right, let's try 1551 01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:07,719 Speaker 7: not to rip up this ticket with this prop. Kanye Udo, 1552 01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 7: he is the tail. He's the main running back on Army. 1553 01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,960 Speaker 7: You don't talk about him too much because we usually 1554 01:16:12,960 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 7: talk about Bryson Dally with the guy running the football. 1555 01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 7: But Udo's coming off a huge AAC title game, a 1556 01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:23,160 Speaker 7: buff fifty eight, including a seventy two yard tuddy, and 1557 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,320 Speaker 7: I want to give a big shout, right, it's called 1558 01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:25,960 Speaker 7: prop it up. 1559 01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,240 Speaker 5: Let's give some props to Army. 1560 01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:31,840 Speaker 7: They are the winners of the Joe Moore Award, which 1561 01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:36,320 Speaker 7: is the nation's top offensive line. I did not have 1562 01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:38,759 Speaker 7: that on my Bengal card this year that Army would 1563 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 7: win that award. But Bryson Daly is still maybe a 1564 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,559 Speaker 7: little bit less than one hundred percent Udo's prop at 1565 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,080 Speaker 7: seventy two and a half yards. 1566 01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,400 Speaker 5: Navy can't stop the run. Kanye be a gold digger 1567 01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:51,719 Speaker 5: for that rushyards. Baby, Let's go over seventy two. 1568 01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,360 Speaker 1: And a half, all right, I like that one. How 1569 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:54,080 Speaker 1: about this one? 1570 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:58,679 Speaker 6: Bill's Lions Jamiir Gibbs, Lions running back. He's been getting 1571 01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:01,760 Speaker 6: a bunch of carriers starting to tick over as the 1572 01:17:01,840 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 6: favorite running back in that backfield. Now, Montgomery's great, he's 1573 01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,320 Speaker 6: a rain maker, especially near the goal line in the 1574 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 6: low red zone. But it's Jamiir Gibbs who I'm focused 1575 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,040 Speaker 6: on here with this sixty eight and a half rushing yards. 1576 01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,439 Speaker 6: Give me the over. Also, if you look at the 1577 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,919 Speaker 6: Bills defense, I talked about it earlier, they've been involved 1578 01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 6: in a couple of shootouts. 1579 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:24,680 Speaker 1: Part of the reason why is. 1580 01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:27,479 Speaker 6: They have a hard time getting offenses off the field 1581 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:28,599 Speaker 6: because they. 1582 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:29,880 Speaker 1: Don't stop the run well. 1583 01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,840 Speaker 6: Running backs against the Bills averaging four point seven yards 1584 01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,840 Speaker 6: per carry. Give me Jamiir Gibbs over that sixty eight 1585 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:38,400 Speaker 6: and a half. 1586 01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:46,240 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna go to the Giants hosting the Baltimore Ravens, 1587 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,800 Speaker 4: and I like the spot for a backup running back. 1588 01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,479 Speaker 4: And I'm looking at Justice Hill. I like his prop 1589 01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,719 Speaker 4: over fifteen and a half rushing yards. It just makes 1590 01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:00,640 Speaker 4: sense to me because I'm expecting the race to have 1591 01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:05,040 Speaker 4: a healthy lead. They're facing the Giants and Tommy Cutlet's right, 1592 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 4: Tommy DeVito is gonna get the start. So the Ravens 1593 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,600 Speaker 4: favored by sixteen, they should have a comfortable lead and 1594 01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:17,800 Speaker 4: Dereck Henry. He's been an absolute workhorse this season. If 1595 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,280 Speaker 4: they're leading comfortably, they're not going to keep running him 1596 01:18:20,320 --> 01:18:24,040 Speaker 4: into the ground. Even if they're not leading comfortably in 1597 01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 4: the first half, I could see Justice Hill getting a 1598 01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,120 Speaker 4: little bit of work here in there. 1599 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,000 Speaker 3: The Giants can't stop the rush. 1600 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:34,400 Speaker 4: No Sexy Dexi Dexter Lawrence is on the shelf, so 1601 01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,040 Speaker 4: it makes sense to me the spot. I don't always 1602 01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:40,040 Speaker 4: love playing these backup runner running backs, but in a 1603 01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:41,960 Speaker 4: spot like this, Giants. 1604 01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,000 Speaker 3: Can't stop the rush should have a healthy lead. 1605 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,800 Speaker 4: I think Justice Hill's gonna get enough opportunities to get 1606 01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:48,599 Speaker 4: over fifteen and a half rush yards. 1607 01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:50,120 Speaker 3: I'll take that prop here. 1608 01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 1: I don't have it. 1609 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,200 Speaker 7: I am excited to bet a couple more overs in 1610 01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,439 Speaker 7: this Army Navy game today. I think I'm gonna bet 1611 01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,200 Speaker 7: the Navy running back Texca Texca, I can't pronounce his name, 1612 01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,480 Speaker 7: Alex Tecza. 1613 01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:05,600 Speaker 5: Good luck pronouncing that one. His props at thirty one 1614 01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,439 Speaker 5: and a half. That's another guy that has really thrived 1615 01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,960 Speaker 5: in this new offense under under Drew Phonic and again 1616 01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,200 Speaker 5: with more bat a little banged up. You would imagine 1617 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 5: both quarterbacks are going to be Option A in the 1618 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,080 Speaker 5: run game, which means the defenses are also going to 1619 01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:20,840 Speaker 5: be king in so go running backs today for the 1620 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:21,519 Speaker 5: Army Navy game. 1621 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:21,760 Speaker 1: Game. 1622 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,559 Speaker 4: All right, good stuff coming up next, a little bowl 1623 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:31,200 Speaker 4: pregame extravaganza. Oh, good morning, hope your Saturday is off 1624 01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 4: to a great start. We do have some ball today, 1625 01:19:34,400 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 4: Army Navy, couple of bowl games. Obviously NFL Week fifteen. 1626 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:44,000 Speaker 4: We will get to a a full breakdown, heavy breakdown 1627 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,879 Speaker 4: in about twenty minutes, but let's stick with college football 1628 01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 4: here to start this hour full bawl preview. You know, 1629 01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:57,360 Speaker 4: obviously the college football playoff games, but any other non 1630 01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,479 Speaker 4: playoff games that you. 1631 01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,840 Speaker 3: Know what the a little bit over here. 1632 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 4: Let's start with the college football playoff matchups, because next 1633 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 4: Friday we get it going. We've got IU against Notre Dame. 1634 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:14,559 Speaker 4: So next Saturday, at this same time, it will either 1635 01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 4: be the happiest version of me or the saddest version 1636 01:20:18,160 --> 01:20:20,720 Speaker 4: of me, the most pankerous version of me. 1637 01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:22,479 Speaker 5: You are you watching that game next Friday? Be you 1638 01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:23,960 Speaker 5: know you want to make some plans, want to hang out? 1639 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,040 Speaker 3: I don't know if I can. 1640 01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:29,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind I was saying it almost tongue and 1641 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:31,719 Speaker 7: cheek because I almost want to you you, it's almost 1642 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,919 Speaker 7: like it's almost like going to an exhibited a museum 1643 01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:34,439 Speaker 7: and watching. 1644 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 4: I might be a nervous, rectoring negatve, but no, maybe 1645 01:20:37,080 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 4: maybe it we'll make something like that happen. But Notre 1646 01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 4: Dame favored by eight and a half against I you, 1647 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,360 Speaker 4: I'll tell you this, and I'm as diehard a Notre 1648 01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,759 Speaker 4: Dame fan as you're ever gonna see. But Notre Dame's 1649 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,120 Speaker 4: passing game just worries me to no end. They were 1650 01:20:53,320 --> 01:20:57,439 Speaker 4: so bad to begin the season, and I just wonder. 1651 01:20:57,479 --> 01:21:00,640 Speaker 4: I don't think it trips them up against IU, but 1652 01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,720 Speaker 4: I you as more physical than you might give them 1653 01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:04,360 Speaker 4: credit for. 1654 01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,559 Speaker 3: They can run the ball and they can stop the run. 1655 01:21:08,200 --> 01:21:10,519 Speaker 4: Some dismiss it and say, well, look at who they 1656 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:14,840 Speaker 4: played against Michigan. They couldn't move the ball. Against Ohio State, 1657 01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,839 Speaker 4: they did nothing. Against teams with the polls, they did nothing, 1658 01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:21,639 Speaker 4: and so that could be the case against Notre Dame. 1659 01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,960 Speaker 4: But I just I worry about Notre Dame's passing attack. 1660 01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 4: I expected a lot more passing wise from Riley Leonard. 1661 01:21:28,520 --> 01:21:30,640 Speaker 4: He can run it great, He's been a threat with 1662 01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,240 Speaker 4: his legs, but I think it trips him up at 1663 01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 4: some point, the lack of a passing attack for Notre Dame. 1664 01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:41,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I'm excited obviously for Penn State SMU. 1665 01:21:41,600 --> 01:21:43,800 Speaker 6: I'm excited for the college football playoff just to see 1666 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,400 Speaker 6: what it all looks like. But in terms of non 1667 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,840 Speaker 6: college football playoff action that I'm interested in. I live 1668 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:55,439 Speaker 6: in San Diego. Holiday Bowl, typically high scoring game, got 1669 01:21:55,439 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 6: the Koog's taking on the Syracuse Orange. 1670 01:21:58,080 --> 01:21:59,160 Speaker 1: So wazoo. 1671 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 6: John Mattier, by the way, Washington State starting quarterback mulling 1672 01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:05,760 Speaker 6: the transfer. 1673 01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,840 Speaker 1: Portal, So I'm not sure if. 1674 01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,519 Speaker 6: He's going to be heading up the Cougars football program 1675 01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:12,479 Speaker 6: in that bowl game. 1676 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: We'll see dot dot dot to be continued. 1677 01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:18,840 Speaker 6: But if he ends up sticking around, maybe they pulled 1678 01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 6: together some nil cash or whatever. This situation is there 1679 01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:27,280 Speaker 6: in Pullman and Kyle McCord. As you mentioned, he made 1680 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,759 Speaker 6: the announcement he will be appearing in the bowl game. 1681 01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:34,920 Speaker 6: He'll he'll be playing in the Holiday Bowl for Syracuse. 1682 01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:39,439 Speaker 6: I think that could be one of the better bowl 1683 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 6: matchups because of the way these offenses match up, or 1684 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 6: I should say these teams. I think it's gonna be 1685 01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:49,799 Speaker 6: a shootout. I think it's gonna be a classic Holiday 1686 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,799 Speaker 6: Bowl shootout. I think it's it's gonna be a fun watch. 1687 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:56,880 Speaker 6: I loved watching McCord sling it throughout the course of 1688 01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,360 Speaker 6: his season with Syracuse. I got to watch k John 1689 01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:03,680 Speaker 6: m Matteira was broadcasting one of his games during my 1690 01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:10,320 Speaker 6: college football analyst obligations this season, So it, yeah, to me, 1691 01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:13,760 Speaker 6: that feels like a game I'm gonna be specifically interested in. 1692 01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:14,320 Speaker 5: Yeah. 1693 01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:16,559 Speaker 7: One of the higher totals in bolseason two is that 1694 01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,840 Speaker 7: Qus Washington State game, sixty one and a half, and 1695 01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 7: that's you know, I know that doesn't sound crazy, but 1696 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,680 Speaker 7: in this day and age of college football, that is 1697 01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 7: a relatively high total. 1698 01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,759 Speaker 5: So the market certainly agrees with you as well. 1699 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,640 Speaker 7: There actually is one game I'm intrigued for because I 1700 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,280 Speaker 7: think it is two teams that are kind of on 1701 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:38,880 Speaker 7: the rise and we're not talking, well, we talked about 1702 01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,320 Speaker 7: one of the actually we talked about both of them 1703 01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 7: a couple times this year, and it's the Birmingham Bowl. 1704 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,040 Speaker 7: It's actually the same day as the Holiday Bowl, December 1705 01:23:45,080 --> 01:23:45,719 Speaker 7: twenty seventh. 1706 01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 5: Georgia Tech and Vandy. 1707 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,479 Speaker 7: Really good game, right, tight line, tight spread, two and 1708 01:23:50,520 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 7: a half Georgia Tech's a slight favorite in the game. 1709 01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,840 Speaker 7: We've seen Georgia Tech pull off big upsets this year 1710 01:23:55,840 --> 01:23:58,960 Speaker 7: over Miami, almost over Georgia. We've seen Vandy just play 1711 01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,240 Speaker 7: everybody in the SEC tough, and I'm always interested to 1712 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:06,439 Speaker 7: see if the teams that kind of spark this new 1713 01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:10,040 Speaker 7: age of the program. Brent Key has done an unbelievable 1714 01:24:10,160 --> 01:24:14,080 Speaker 7: job at Georgia Tech, and Clark Lee's done fantastic work 1715 01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,840 Speaker 7: at Vandy. I think a lot of it is Jerry 1716 01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:20,479 Speaker 7: Kill and the offensive renovation that they've had with Diego Pavia, 1717 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,320 Speaker 7: But I do think these are two i'd call them 1718 01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:27,320 Speaker 7: mid tier Power Conference teams that are trying to ascend 1719 01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:29,960 Speaker 7: to the upper tier, and the best way you can 1720 01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:32,439 Speaker 7: do that is to go win a bowl game and 1721 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,800 Speaker 7: to kind of push that momentum forward. And I think 1722 01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,439 Speaker 7: these are two teams that have had a lot of 1723 01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:40,160 Speaker 7: momentum this year, and you want to end your season 1724 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,880 Speaker 7: on a win, whereas Vandy's had big wins Overbama, you know, 1725 01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,800 Speaker 7: play Texas tough. If you end your season on a win, 1726 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:47,960 Speaker 7: especially for Vandy, who six and six, you end your 1727 01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 7: season seven and six, it's a whole lot different than 1728 01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 7: six and seven, and I take stock in that when 1729 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,280 Speaker 7: we go into the next season, like if Vandy wins 1730 01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:58,560 Speaker 7: his game, I'm gonna be thinking that, hey, that momentum 1731 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,640 Speaker 7: hopefully helps them on the recruiting trail and just overall 1732 01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 7: as you push your program forward. So that of all 1733 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,679 Speaker 7: the there's not a ton of ball games. Of course, 1734 01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 7: the Cultural Wall playoffs kind of skewed the ball schedule 1735 01:25:09,320 --> 01:25:11,800 Speaker 7: a little bit, but that game kind of stood out 1736 01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:13,320 Speaker 7: to me as two teams that I think, you know, 1737 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,719 Speaker 7: maybe trying to ascend to that upper tier of power 1738 01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:16,519 Speaker 7: conference football. 1739 01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:21,080 Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy in the relia Quest Bowl. We've 1740 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,640 Speaker 4: got Alabama and Michigan. 1741 01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:23,640 Speaker 3: Think about that. 1742 01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,559 Speaker 4: Those two teams met in the College Football Playoff last 1743 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:31,320 Speaker 4: season and that was the traumatic ending. Remember they gave 1744 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 4: it to Jalen Milroe to try to run in from 1745 01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,840 Speaker 4: how many yards maybe like three or four yards out, 1746 01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 4: and Michigan stopped them in dramatic fashion. 1747 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:42,000 Speaker 3: And now those teams are in the. 1748 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,280 Speaker 4: RelA Quest Bowl. You know, it's like whoa man, Life 1749 01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:50,680 Speaker 4: comes at you fast. But Michigan, last time we saw 1750 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,320 Speaker 4: in beat Ohio State. So to tee it up against Alabama. 1751 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 4: Alabama was a big favorite, favored by ten and a 1752 01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,519 Speaker 4: half in that one. But look at us talking about 1753 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,679 Speaker 4: non play off games. Huh, we're geeks for the sport. 1754 01:26:02,720 --> 01:26:03,200 Speaker 3: We love it. 1755 01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,080 Speaker 4: If we look at the four college football playoff matchups, 1756 01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:13,800 Speaker 4: so every home favorite is at least minus seven, right, 1757 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:18,080 Speaker 4: maybe more than that, but at least right now, Actually 1758 01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:21,360 Speaker 4: everybody is over a touchdown. Sorry, I was looking at 1759 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 4: the wrong thing. Where Ohio State opened as a touchdown favorite, 1760 01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:27,240 Speaker 4: they're now minus seven and a half. So every home 1761 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:32,640 Speaker 4: favorite is favored by over a touchdown. So the question becomes, 1762 01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:38,080 Speaker 4: which road dog do you think will win the game outright? 1763 01:26:38,200 --> 01:26:42,720 Speaker 4: If any how many road dogs cover. We're looking at Indiana, 1764 01:26:42,800 --> 01:26:46,800 Speaker 4: They're at Notre Dame, SMU at Penn State, Clemson is 1765 01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,719 Speaker 4: at Texas, and Tennessee is at Ohio State. 1766 01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,240 Speaker 3: Rich, you've been rolling with the road dogs here lately. 1767 01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:55,519 Speaker 4: I know how many of them at least cover any 1768 01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,040 Speaker 4: outright winners in your eyes? 1769 01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,960 Speaker 6: Oh man, I'll tell you what. It pains me to 1770 01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 6: say this. But could I see Penn State sneaking away 1771 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,840 Speaker 6: with a round one win, Yeah? Could I see SMU 1772 01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:11,639 Speaker 6: potentially playing it close with them? 1773 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:12,800 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1774 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:15,040 Speaker 6: And like I said, it pains me to say that 1775 01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:17,400 Speaker 6: because I don't want that to be a good sweat. 1776 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,360 Speaker 6: I want my nit Kney Lions to beat the Brakes 1777 01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 6: off as other methodists. But it feels like in big 1778 01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:29,840 Speaker 6: games that's when the heartache occurs for Penn State. And 1779 01:27:29,920 --> 01:27:31,640 Speaker 6: I do think it is a little bit of a 1780 01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,799 Speaker 6: self fulfilling prophecy, but I also think there is something 1781 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:40,080 Speaker 6: to that, like teams and coaches need how to learn 1782 01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,280 Speaker 6: how to put away opponents, and I don't know if 1783 01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:46,599 Speaker 6: that culture has learned it yet. In Franklin's time there, 1784 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 6: they've had big wins, they've had blowout wins, but in 1785 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:54,320 Speaker 6: important games it's either always close or it's a narrow loss, 1786 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 6: or it's a blowout loss. 1787 01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:57,280 Speaker 1: And it stings for a long time. 1788 01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,519 Speaker 6: So yeah, as much is it pains me, Like if 1789 01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 6: there was a side now money line, I'm all, if 1790 01:28:05,080 --> 01:28:08,799 Speaker 6: you Penn State, I mean, but if there's a side, 1791 01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:12,479 Speaker 6: I like, I think the Stangs could keep it close 1792 01:28:12,560 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 6: with the Nittnees. 1793 01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:17,599 Speaker 5: Mm yeah, I maybe I'm biased. 1794 01:28:18,080 --> 01:28:21,240 Speaker 7: Maybe Uh this is a little anger resentment talking, But 1795 01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:24,400 Speaker 7: I am so sick of the small game James narrative. 1796 01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:27,360 Speaker 5: I'm just sick of I'm sick of it. I'm so 1797 01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:27,840 Speaker 5: sick of it. 1798 01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 6: He's a good coach, he's he's a very I mean, 1799 01:28:30,640 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 6: that sounds so ridiculous because I buy it too. 1800 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:33,800 Speaker 1: All Right, it's your turn, Jared. 1801 01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:35,800 Speaker 7: All no, but but no, but you're you're you're right, 1802 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 7: like and we talk about this all the time, like, oh, 1803 01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 7: you got a fire and this guy, and we're always 1804 01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,920 Speaker 7: very quick to fire people in this in our side 1805 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,120 Speaker 7: of the industry, not realizing that if we made one 1806 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:50,200 Speaker 7: mistake and get fired, we would probably feel terrible about it. 1807 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:56,479 Speaker 7: But there is no evidence this year to support any 1808 01:28:56,720 --> 01:29:01,240 Speaker 7: kind of small game James narrative. If if that was true, 1809 01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:05,280 Speaker 7: they would have wilted under the pressure against Wisconsin when 1810 01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:07,840 Speaker 7: they lost Drew Holler. They would have wilted under the 1811 01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:11,280 Speaker 7: pressure at USC when they were down what ten fifteen, 1812 01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:12,800 Speaker 7: I forget what the score was at halftime, they were 1813 01:29:12,800 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 7: down big at half, came back and one. They would 1814 01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:17,559 Speaker 7: have wilted under the pressure on a cold night in 1815 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:21,800 Speaker 7: Minneapolis when Minnesota was doing special teams, fake punts and 1816 01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,800 Speaker 7: returning block field goals for two point convertion like they 1817 01:29:25,800 --> 01:29:26,200 Speaker 7: would have. 1818 01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:27,040 Speaker 5: Lost those games. 1819 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,320 Speaker 7: There is something to be said about the mental toughness 1820 01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:36,040 Speaker 7: and the perseverance of college football this year because of 1821 01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,439 Speaker 7: all the parody and the ability to make it through 1822 01:29:39,479 --> 01:29:43,840 Speaker 7: a power conference schedule with just one loss to a 1823 01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,439 Speaker 7: really good Ohio State team. I think we need to 1824 01:29:47,479 --> 01:29:51,240 Speaker 7: eliminate that from the vocabulary. And if you are betting 1825 01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:55,800 Speaker 7: SMU next Saturday because you think James Franklin comes up 1826 01:29:55,840 --> 01:29:58,960 Speaker 7: small in big games, I think you're gonna be disappointed 1827 01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 7: with the result. That's the only take I have on that. 1828 01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:05,439 Speaker 7: As the other games go, you know, I think the 1829 01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:07,080 Speaker 7: Clemson Texas number is getting. 1830 01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:10,160 Speaker 5: A little too little, too heavy, right, Yeah, Like who's 1831 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:12,960 Speaker 5: like Texas hasn't played anyone either. I know Clemson's in 1832 01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,040 Speaker 5: the ACC. Texas played six out of the seven bottom. 1833 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:19,800 Speaker 7: Teams in the SEC, and they don't have a ranked win. 1834 01:30:20,320 --> 01:30:22,760 Speaker 7: So I thought that number was a little heavy. And 1835 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:25,759 Speaker 7: I know Clemson, you know, I don't love Clemson personally. 1836 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:27,799 Speaker 7: I think that was their super Bowl against SMU. 1837 01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,240 Speaker 5: But eleven's a lot. That's that's a lot of points 1838 01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:33,479 Speaker 5: in a college football game with how crazy this year's been, 1839 01:30:33,479 --> 01:30:35,800 Speaker 5: and Texas has not shown the ability to separate, So 1840 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:38,519 Speaker 5: that number stood out to me a little bit. But 1841 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,519 Speaker 5: I think the rest of the games are probably lying right. 1842 01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:45,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, let me be the voice of dissension with 1843 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:51,080 Speaker 4: small Game James over here. No, listen, I know you, 1844 01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:54,439 Speaker 4: Penn State Hanks. You want to ride hard for James 1845 01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:57,479 Speaker 4: Franklin over here. But it's not gonna to change the 1846 01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:00,600 Speaker 4: narrative and to change the nickname. It's gonna take a 1847 01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:04,120 Speaker 4: win against a top five team. That's the whole reason 1848 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:08,439 Speaker 4: why small Game James exists. It's wilting against Ohio State. 1849 01:31:08,479 --> 01:31:12,280 Speaker 4: It's not, you know, getting it done against row the Boat, 1850 01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:17,120 Speaker 4: Minnesota or Wisconsin or a down USC team like who 1851 01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:20,240 Speaker 4: cares Well. It's gonna change the narrative is getting it 1852 01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:22,759 Speaker 4: done against one of the big boys. And those teams 1853 01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,839 Speaker 4: don't qualify this year. So if you want the narrative 1854 01:31:25,880 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 4: to change, in the nickname to change, beating SMU is 1855 01:31:28,439 --> 01:31:30,640 Speaker 4: not gonna do it. Beating Boise State's not gonna do 1856 01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:34,080 Speaker 4: it. It's surviving those games and beating Georgia if that's the 1857 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:35,760 Speaker 4: next opponent, that's what. 1858 01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:36,479 Speaker 3: It's gonna take. 1859 01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:40,000 Speaker 4: It's gonna take a top five win and SMU ain't it. 1860 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,639 Speaker 4: But that's the only thing that's gonna get it changed. 1861 01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:45,120 Speaker 4: And I understand I fully understand why you're sick and 1862 01:31:45,160 --> 01:31:47,960 Speaker 4: tired of it. I would be too, But you know, 1863 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,439 Speaker 4: beating SMU or surviving against Minnesota, that's not gonna make 1864 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:52,760 Speaker 4: the nickname go away at all. 1865 01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:58,799 Speaker 6: It's it's it's a shame when like so, for example, 1866 01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:04,759 Speaker 6: a Marty Schottenheimer with the Chargers, he gets fired after 1867 01:32:04,800 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 6: a fourteen win season, and Andy Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles, 1868 01:32:10,400 --> 01:32:17,920 Speaker 6: successful team, great coach, great offensive dynamic, just couldn't get 1869 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:21,840 Speaker 6: over the hump playoffs wise, and you know, you look 1870 01:32:21,880 --> 01:32:25,719 Speaker 6: at you look at Andy Reid, even with Alex Smith 1871 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:28,720 Speaker 6: early in his tenure with the Chiefs, a lot of 1872 01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:34,000 Speaker 6: the same conversation around Reid when he was coaching Alex 1873 01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 6: Smith and the Chiefs because they were saying, yeah, you know, gosh, 1874 01:32:37,479 --> 01:32:40,040 Speaker 6: some of his you know, end of half, end of 1875 01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 6: game decision making. You know, in Smith he's not a closer, right, 1876 01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 6: all of a sudden, one quarterback changes everything, And Andy 1877 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:52,320 Speaker 6: Reid is heralded as either one of the greatest coaches 1878 01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:54,479 Speaker 6: of all time certainly the greatest coach in the game 1879 01:32:54,560 --> 01:32:57,840 Speaker 6: right now. So my point is kind of like, yes, 1880 01:32:57,920 --> 01:33:01,519 Speaker 6: you're right, there's work to be done for Franklin but 1881 01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:02,879 Speaker 6: at the same token. 1882 01:33:03,600 --> 01:33:06,160 Speaker 1: All it takes sometimes. 1883 01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,000 Speaker 6: Is like one special quarterback, one special player, one special year, 1884 01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:13,400 Speaker 6: and it completely changes that narrative. 1885 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:15,760 Speaker 1: Guess what the coach is the same guy. 1886 01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:20,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, yep, it's it's just the the circumstances were slightly 1887 01:33:20,160 --> 01:33:23,439 Speaker 6: tweaked and and and you know, I mean the Chargers, 1888 01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,200 Speaker 6: they they lost some games after they moved on from Schoenheimer. 1889 01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:30,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't it wasn't a perfect transition. 1890 01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:33,120 Speaker 6: Well, I mean, I guess the Turner years, we're gonna look, 1891 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:35,960 Speaker 6: I guess I digress on that point to prove the 1892 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:40,400 Speaker 6: greater point that coaches are I think are harshly judged, 1893 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:42,200 Speaker 6: even successful ones. 1894 01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,120 Speaker 1: And James Franklin falls in that category. 1895 01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,120 Speaker 4: So let me say something real fast here and I'll 1896 01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,840 Speaker 4: give you the final because what rich said made me 1897 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:49,240 Speaker 4: think of it. 1898 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:50,559 Speaker 3: Think about college football. 1899 01:33:50,560 --> 01:33:53,439 Speaker 4: Think about what Ryan Day is going through right now 1900 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 4: at Ohio State. 1901 01:33:54,560 --> 01:33:55,599 Speaker 1: Right what he's. 1902 01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 4: Known for is you can't beat Michigan, right And imagine 1903 01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,720 Speaker 4: if some some Ohio State fan was like, but he 1904 01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,800 Speaker 4: beat in Illinois, what about that? And it's like, that's 1905 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:08,360 Speaker 4: not what we're talking about, Okay, John Cooper. He couldn't 1906 01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,880 Speaker 4: beat Michigan. That's what he was known for. It's going 1907 01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:15,360 Speaker 4: to take slaying that dragon for the narrative to change. 1908 01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:18,040 Speaker 4: So for small game James, it's gonna take a win 1909 01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:19,200 Speaker 4: against the top five team. 1910 01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:23,560 Speaker 7: Here's the problem, though, expectations don't meet reality. 1911 01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:25,080 Speaker 5: Penn State. 1912 01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:28,200 Speaker 7: For the last five six years, however long James been there, 1913 01:34:28,200 --> 01:34:32,160 Speaker 7: I think seven, he hasn't had players that can compete 1914 01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,880 Speaker 7: with Michigan and Ohio State. I've talked to several players 1915 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:40,080 Speaker 7: that have been on the teams of the last recent 1916 01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 7: Penn State run and they all tell me the same thing. 1917 01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 5: James is a great coach. 1918 01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:47,600 Speaker 7: The team on the other sideline, Ohio State, they have 1919 01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:52,280 Speaker 7: better players, They have better players, they spend more money 1920 01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:58,040 Speaker 7: on assistant coaches, they have more resources. So is James 1921 01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:03,880 Speaker 7: Franklin coaching above expectation. No, he is meeting expectation. He's 1922 01:35:03,880 --> 01:35:10,800 Speaker 7: not small, he's not big, he's medium expectation like that. 1923 01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:14,080 Speaker 7: That is what bothers me. You are blaming James. 1924 01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:14,400 Speaker 1: Now. 1925 01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:16,920 Speaker 7: You want to say go out and get better players, Sure, fine, 1926 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:20,679 Speaker 7: but that takes money and Penn State doesn't have as much. 1927 01:35:20,960 --> 01:35:25,479 Speaker 7: Go look at the assistant coach salaries for Ohio State. 1928 01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:31,000 Speaker 7: And Michigan go look at Chip Kelly and what he's 1929 01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,600 Speaker 7: making compared to what Penn State, and they're about to 1930 01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:36,320 Speaker 7: lose another ZC codal Nicky. Actually, I hope he doesn't leave. 1931 01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:38,720 Speaker 7: I don't think he's going to, but you never know. 1932 01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:42,240 Speaker 7: Could be another offer that swoops in. But they don't 1933 01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 7: have that. They don't have better players. You're asking James 1934 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:49,880 Speaker 7: to coach above reproach. Should he sure? I'd like him too, 1935 01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,920 Speaker 7: But the narrative that he's coming up small in big games. 1936 01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:56,799 Speaker 7: They're an underdog in these games they're supposed to lose. 1937 01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:01,320 Speaker 7: It just doesn't make sense to me how you could blame. 1938 01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:04,720 Speaker 7: It's like blaming a chef for not cooking you a 1939 01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,920 Speaker 7: five star meal when you're giving him crappy ingredients. He's 1940 01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:11,719 Speaker 7: doing the best he can with the ingredients he has. 1941 01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:15,280 Speaker 5: Now they've had better players recently. 1942 01:36:15,280 --> 01:36:17,599 Speaker 7: For example, thank god they have a quarterback finally who 1943 01:36:17,640 --> 01:36:20,200 Speaker 7: can play cool and listen. It's not a knock on 1944 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:23,680 Speaker 7: guys like Sean Clifford or Trace McSorley, but those are 1945 01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:28,000 Speaker 7: not NFL caliber quarterbacks. And that is who has been 1946 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:31,040 Speaker 7: under the helm under center for Penn State over the 1947 01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:31,840 Speaker 7: last few years. 1948 01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:32,479 Speaker 1: It just it. 1949 01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 5: That's why I hate the narrative. 1950 01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,440 Speaker 7: You are blaming a coach for not taking Sean Clifford 1951 01:36:38,800 --> 01:36:42,400 Speaker 7: and making him look like Patrick mahomes A. 1952 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:43,480 Speaker 5: That's a tough. 1953 01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:49,719 Speaker 4: Ask, I hear you, but still, right like, it reminds 1954 01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,240 Speaker 4: me of Belichick. It'd be like saying Belichick after the 1955 01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:58,040 Speaker 4: Brady years, explaining why he's not getting it done. It's like, well, Belichick, 1956 01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,200 Speaker 4: the GM is kind of getting the way of Belichick 1957 01:37:01,240 --> 01:37:04,160 Speaker 4: to coach, and that's true. But anybody banging on Belichick 1958 01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:06,960 Speaker 4: is basically saying the same thing about James Franklin. Get 1959 01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,400 Speaker 4: it freaking done right. Don't explain it to me why 1960 01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,600 Speaker 4: you're not. And it's the less talented team. Find a 1961 01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:15,960 Speaker 4: way to get better players. If that's what tripping you. 1962 01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:17,599 Speaker 3: Up, right, Like, that's it. 1963 01:37:18,040 --> 01:37:21,120 Speaker 4: I'll meet you on one point though, Jared real fast 1964 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:24,320 Speaker 4: is that's what makes it so damning with Ryan Day 1965 01:37:24,520 --> 01:37:27,639 Speaker 4: having the better roster than Michigan this season and losing 1966 01:37:27,680 --> 01:37:30,120 Speaker 4: when you're a twenty point favorite or whatever it was. 1967 01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:32,040 Speaker 3: As I hear you. 1968 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:36,320 Speaker 4: But still we're like, don't explain it to us. 1969 01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:39,160 Speaker 3: Just find a way. 1970 01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:40,000 Speaker 5: But here's the problem. 1971 01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:42,320 Speaker 7: They're gonna beat Georgia in the semis, and they're gonna 1972 01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:44,040 Speaker 7: be like, oh, Georgia didn't have their quarterback. 1973 01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:50,000 Speaker 4: Small game dogs, Hey, don't don't count don't count out, 1974 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:56,360 Speaker 4: big game Marcus Freeman okay before Oh yeah that Georgia. 1975 01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,080 Speaker 7: Yeah, so look aheadlines, how about this.

Can't wait for 2003 01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:24,160 Speaker 4: that with That is top billing. That is the main 2004 01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:27,680 Speaker 4: attraction in Week fifteen in the NFL. And I just 2005 01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:31,160 Speaker 4: want to throw the question out there. Are the Lions 2006 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:36,360 Speaker 4: maybe the best team in football? Are they getting disrespected here? 2007 01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:39,200 Speaker 4: Maybe not by leaps and bounds, but only a two 2008 01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:42,280 Speaker 4: and a half point home favorite against Buffalo. And we 2009 01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:46,320 Speaker 4: know Buffalo is good, but Detroit is twelve and one. Yeah, 2010 01:39:46,400 --> 01:39:48,559 Speaker 4: you had they're banged up. Maybe that goes into it, 2011 01:39:49,240 --> 01:39:54,160 Speaker 4: but I keep going back to Buffalo earlier this season 2012 01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:59,360 Speaker 4: had no answers for Baltimore. None Baltimore just played smash Mouth. 2013 01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:01,960 Speaker 4: It was a dose of Derrick Henry and you can't 2014 01:40:01,960 --> 01:40:08,320 Speaker 4: stop us. Can you not see at least the tea 2015 01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:12,559 Speaker 4: leaves of Detroit being successful in the same manner here. 2016 01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:14,240 Speaker 3: And yet they're only favored by two and a half. 2017 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:19,280 Speaker 3: They've won eleven straight games, Buffalo gave up forty four. 2018 01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 4: Last week, and they're not your standard home three point favorite. 2019 01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:28,800 Speaker 4: I just think it's at a minimum slightly disrespectful for 2020 01:40:28,880 --> 01:40:30,920 Speaker 4: what Detroit brings to the table here. 2021 01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:33,200 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I think that's fair. 2022 01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:37,799 Speaker 6: Look, you are what your record says you are, is true, 2023 01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:42,280 Speaker 6: but but there are times. 2024 01:40:41,960 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 1: Where you can argue it. 2025 01:40:43,240 --> 01:40:45,439 Speaker 6: Like, for example, are the Chiefs as good as their 2026 01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:46,559 Speaker 6: record says they are? 2027 01:40:46,680 --> 01:40:51,759 Speaker 1: No, No, they're not. Is Detroit as good as their record? 2028 01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:55,360 Speaker 6: I would argue, yeah, yeah, they are what their record 2029 01:40:55,439 --> 01:40:57,760 Speaker 6: says they are. That is a winning football team, that's 2030 01:40:57,760 --> 01:41:00,640 Speaker 6: a winning culture. That's a bunch of bad dudes with 2031 01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,840 Speaker 6: bad intentions getting great things done on the football field, 2032 01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:07,959 Speaker 6: and I love to watch them. But however, the Bills 2033 01:41:08,560 --> 01:41:12,559 Speaker 6: aren't as bad as their record says they are, you 2034 01:41:12,560 --> 01:41:14,720 Speaker 6: know what I mean. Like they've had some stumbles, but 2035 01:41:15,360 --> 01:41:19,400 Speaker 6: I mean, are they Are they that much worse than Detroit? 2036 01:41:19,640 --> 01:41:22,479 Speaker 6: I guess the better way to say it is they're 2037 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:25,960 Speaker 6: they're closer to Detroit than their record would say they are. 2038 01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:29,160 Speaker 6: I think that Buffalo has built a really good mouse 2039 01:41:29,200 --> 01:41:32,240 Speaker 6: trap and it all circles around one man, and that's 2040 01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:35,240 Speaker 6: Josh Allen, and they go as he goes. And he's 2041 01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,120 Speaker 6: been going this season, and he's been going really well. 2042 01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:41,280 Speaker 6: And that is a big problem to sort out and 2043 01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 6: to figure out, you know. And it doesn't matter what 2044 01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 6: style game you're playing, whether game he's got it handled, 2045 01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:50,880 Speaker 6: a shootout, he can score with the best of them. 2046 01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:51,840 Speaker 1: You know. 2047 01:41:51,880 --> 01:41:54,839 Speaker 6: If it's gonna be a tough and rumble game, low scoring, 2048 01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:58,719 Speaker 6: you know, he can make it happen. In situational football, 2049 01:41:59,200 --> 01:42:02,320 Speaker 6: the biggest albatross for the Bills is winning in the postseason, 2050 01:42:02,439 --> 01:42:04,960 Speaker 6: especially against that team in red from Kansas City. 2051 01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:06,240 Speaker 1: But we're not there yet. 2052 01:42:06,240 --> 01:42:09,360 Speaker 6: We're talking about a regular season matchup against the Detroit Lions. 2053 01:42:09,800 --> 01:42:11,759 Speaker 1: I think they match up well. So I do agree 2054 01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:12,120 Speaker 1: with you. 2055 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:17,040 Speaker 6: Is Detroit not getting the love they deserve because they're 2056 01:42:17,120 --> 01:42:21,160 Speaker 6: flying all this success under the Detroit Lions banner, which 2057 01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:24,160 Speaker 6: has been a banner of misery for years and years 2058 01:42:24,160 --> 01:42:27,320 Speaker 6: and years. Yeah, I think to a certain extent, but 2059 01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:31,960 Speaker 6: I think this spread probably accurately represents what we're gonna see. 2060 01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:33,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a tight game. 2061 01:42:34,040 --> 01:42:34,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. 2062 01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 7: I think I actually had these teams rated the same 2063 01:42:38,360 --> 01:42:40,960 Speaker 7: in my power ratings right at the top. They are 2064 01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,320 Speaker 7: the top three teams at the top. If Buffalo, Detroit, 2065 01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:46,400 Speaker 7: Baltimore are all rated the same, which means if they 2066 01:42:46,439 --> 01:42:49,200 Speaker 7: all played on a neutral, the game should be a 2067 01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,760 Speaker 7: pick them all. Right, Well, games not being played on 2068 01:42:52,800 --> 01:42:57,160 Speaker 7: a neutral, it's being played in a frenzied MotorCity dome, 2069 01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 7: so crowd all that will be factor. Yeah, and there's 2070 01:43:02,439 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 7: just this element of travel and situational handicapping that I 2071 01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:06,400 Speaker 7: do think. 2072 01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:07,320 Speaker 5: Favors Detroit here. 2073 01:43:07,479 --> 01:43:11,439 Speaker 7: First of all, Buffalo's kind of in this weird all 2074 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:15,160 Speaker 7: over the place zone where they went from, Hey, maybe 2075 01:43:15,160 --> 01:43:17,559 Speaker 7: we can win the one seed to like, all right, 2076 01:43:17,640 --> 01:43:19,479 Speaker 7: let's just make sure we win the two seed and 2077 01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:22,880 Speaker 7: get that home playoff game in the divisional round now, 2078 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:26,920 Speaker 7: because after losing to the Rams, I just don't think 2079 01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:29,280 Speaker 7: the one seeds possible. Like, I just don't see Kansas 2080 01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:30,920 Speaker 7: City losing twice down the stretch. 2081 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:31,080 Speaker 5: Maybe they do. 2082 01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:33,840 Speaker 7: Maybe they do that to play Denver, to play Pittsburgh. 2083 01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 7: But they've lost once all year and there's only four 2084 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:38,800 Speaker 7: games left. So the odds of them losing twice in 2085 01:43:38,800 --> 01:43:41,360 Speaker 7: the last four you're asking a lot. That's what would 2086 01:43:41,400 --> 01:43:44,000 Speaker 7: need to happen. Buffalo would have to win out Ken Saity. 2087 01:43:44,040 --> 01:43:46,160 Speaker 7: We have to go two and two in order for 2088 01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,080 Speaker 7: the Bills to get the one seed. Of course they 2089 01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:50,040 Speaker 7: do hold the tiebreaker. The only loss this year for 2090 01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:53,040 Speaker 7: Kansas City was to Buffalo. The other part of this 2091 01:43:53,160 --> 01:43:56,040 Speaker 7: that I think is intriguing here to me is I'm 2092 01:43:56,040 --> 01:43:59,160 Speaker 7: hearing a lot of oh off the loss Buffalo bounce back, 2093 01:43:59,560 --> 01:44:02,519 Speaker 7: they're more motivated than Detroit. All right, well, let me 2094 01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,479 Speaker 7: just stop you right there. If your argument for any 2095 01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:09,760 Speaker 7: team beating the Lions in a football game this year 2096 01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:12,960 Speaker 7: is they are more motivated. 2097 01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:15,520 Speaker 5: That is freaking crazy. 2098 01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:15,760 Speaker 2: Man. 2099 01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,080 Speaker 5: Have you seen this Lions team. 2100 01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:24,160 Speaker 7: There is not one team maybe an NFL history, that 2101 01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:27,360 Speaker 7: is more mentally up week in. 2102 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,640 Speaker 5: And week out than the Detroit Lions. 2103 01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:36,000 Speaker 7: I'm sorry, but any argument situational handicap motivation. 2104 01:44:36,360 --> 01:44:40,040 Speaker 5: No, This Lions team knows one speed. 2105 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:45,599 Speaker 7: It's the most impressive, toughest mental team I have watched 2106 01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:49,200 Speaker 7: in my time short time doing this handicapping bit over 2107 01:44:49,240 --> 01:44:51,040 Speaker 7: the last four or five years, I have not seen 2108 01:44:51,080 --> 01:44:53,800 Speaker 7: a team more up than the Lions are week in 2109 01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:57,040 Speaker 7: and week out stats wise. Yeah, I think you can 2110 01:44:57,120 --> 01:44:59,000 Speaker 7: make a case the Buffalo is the better team. But 2111 01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:01,760 Speaker 7: I think I think Detroit wins this game at home. 2112 01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,080 Speaker 7: I honestly do. And I wouldn't be shocked if they win. 2113 01:45:03,960 --> 01:45:07,280 Speaker 3: It big, wow, win it big, interesting. 2114 01:45:07,160 --> 01:45:10,120 Speaker 5: Two ten, fourteen points. I would be shocked if they 2115 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:10,439 Speaker 5: win it. 2116 01:45:10,400 --> 01:45:12,320 Speaker 3: Big, not like fifty two to six, Like. 2117 01:45:12,400 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 5: No, I think that's I think that's. 2118 01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,080 Speaker 3: How about Steelers Eagles? 2119 01:45:18,520 --> 01:45:22,000 Speaker 4: You got the Eagles home favorites by five and a half. 2120 01:45:22,479 --> 01:45:26,360 Speaker 4: And we've had the AJ Brown saga this week. So 2121 01:45:26,600 --> 01:45:29,800 Speaker 4: Brandon Graham, Eagles player, he's banged up, but he won 2122 01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:33,479 Speaker 4: our radio show and said, hey, Jalen Hurtz and AJ 2123 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:34,719 Speaker 4: Brown used to be cool. 2124 01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:35,559 Speaker 1: Not anymore. 2125 01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:39,200 Speaker 4: They're they're beef And basically I'm paraphrasing. And then all 2126 01:45:39,240 --> 01:45:41,759 Speaker 4: of a sudden, it's this huge story the entire week, 2127 01:45:42,320 --> 01:45:44,760 Speaker 4: and I look at Philly. This is amazing to me. 2128 01:45:45,080 --> 01:45:51,120 Speaker 4: Philadelphia's passing offense thirty first in the NFL this season, 2129 01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:55,439 Speaker 4: only the Patriots averaged less passing yards per game than 2130 01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:56,120 Speaker 4: the Eagles. 2131 01:45:56,680 --> 01:45:59,600 Speaker 3: Does that not blow your mind? Yeah, that's amazing to me. 2132 01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,760 Speaker 4: With A Brown Devonte Smith, it boils down to this, 2133 01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:05,000 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts is a mediocre quarterback. 2134 01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:06,479 Speaker 3: That's the bottom line. 2135 01:46:06,960 --> 01:46:09,640 Speaker 4: There are times AJ Brown is wide open, doesn't get 2136 01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:12,240 Speaker 4: him the football. There are times other receivers are open 2137 01:46:12,360 --> 01:46:15,040 Speaker 4: and he doesn't get him the football because it's either. 2138 01:46:14,880 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 3: A bad throw or a bad read. 2139 01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:20,720 Speaker 4: And Jalen Hurts after they the Eagles went toe to 2140 01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:22,519 Speaker 4: toe with Mahomes and the Chiefs and it was like, 2141 01:46:22,640 --> 01:46:25,120 Speaker 4: this guy's amazing. Pay him, give him the bag. And 2142 01:46:25,160 --> 01:46:28,360 Speaker 4: it's like, yeah, give it a little bit of time 2143 01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,280 Speaker 4: and see what you have. And right now he is 2144 01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:34,800 Speaker 4: not one of the upper echelon quarterbacks. He's not even 2145 01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:37,840 Speaker 4: sniffing the top ten. He's got to pick his game up. 2146 01:46:37,920 --> 01:46:41,679 Speaker 4: Everybody's focused on AJ Brown being a diva or Yeah, 2147 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,320 Speaker 4: he can be pretty whiny, he can be selfish, but 2148 01:46:44,360 --> 01:46:46,280 Speaker 4: I would argue he's got reason to be when a 2149 01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:49,559 Speaker 4: when Jalen Hurts is not doing his job, Jalen Hurts 2150 01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,479 Speaker 4: got to do a much better job for Philly to 2151 01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:52,160 Speaker 4: get anywhere. 2152 01:46:52,160 --> 01:46:52,679 Speaker 5: This season. 2153 01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:54,840 Speaker 1: So here's my take on this game. 2154 01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:59,639 Speaker 6: First and foremost, the NFL is a business first, and 2155 01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:03,559 Speaker 6: it is a business of winning, but it's also a 2156 01:47:03,680 --> 01:47:05,960 Speaker 6: business of public relations. 2157 01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:09,200 Speaker 1: And Jared he remembers this as well as I do. 2158 01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,639 Speaker 6: When you're on that campus at Penn State and you're 2159 01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:17,920 Speaker 6: walking through the dorm quad at the Pollock Commons or 2160 01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:22,760 Speaker 6: East Halls, and all the windows are open and you're 2161 01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 6: hearing people excitedly root for their Eagles or their Pittsburgh 2162 01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:31,760 Speaker 6: Steelers on the Penn State campus. I mean, you know, 2163 01:47:31,840 --> 01:47:35,800 Speaker 6: it's important. This is the unofficial you know, Pennsylvania championship 2164 01:47:35,880 --> 01:47:38,200 Speaker 6: right here right, you know, the Eagles and the Steelers. 2165 01:47:38,200 --> 01:47:39,559 Speaker 1: So this matters. 2166 01:47:39,640 --> 01:47:43,240 Speaker 6: This matters to fan bases, and so it matters to 2167 01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:45,920 Speaker 6: coaches in a big way. Maybe these players are from 2168 01:47:46,200 --> 01:47:50,439 Speaker 6: a smattering at different places, but the words on the 2169 01:47:50,479 --> 01:47:53,799 Speaker 6: front of those jerseys are meaningful to the fan bases 2170 01:47:54,160 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 6: who they represent. And so this is a big one. 2171 01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:01,120 Speaker 6: It is. It is a rivalry game. It is an 2172 01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:05,760 Speaker 6: important win for either side to get the lean is 2173 01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:10,599 Speaker 6: in terms of roster construction and and and some other 2174 01:48:11,200 --> 01:48:15,320 Speaker 6: you know tangible statistics Philadelphia. 2175 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:19,640 Speaker 1: But I'm staying off of it. Because I can't. 2176 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:24,880 Speaker 6: I can't put my finger on it, but it just 2177 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:30,439 Speaker 6: feels like Nick Sirianni is missing that it factor to 2178 01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:36,360 Speaker 6: keep this thing organized. I think Saquon Barkley has covered 2179 01:48:36,439 --> 01:48:40,640 Speaker 6: up a lot of blemishes in Philadelphia. That was a 2180 01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:45,000 Speaker 6: brilliant move by Howie Roseman. I think that stability in 2181 01:48:45,040 --> 01:48:48,840 Speaker 6: the culture. Not moving on from Nick Sirianni this offseason 2182 01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:53,160 Speaker 6: helped the situation. It certainly didn't hurt it, But I 2183 01:48:53,200 --> 01:48:57,040 Speaker 6: don't know if he's if he's the right voice at 2184 01:48:57,080 --> 01:49:00,479 Speaker 6: the head of the class to tamp down some of 2185 01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:03,839 Speaker 6: the distractions that are now roiling to the surface. 2186 01:49:04,479 --> 01:49:06,160 Speaker 1: So can I see the Eagles winning? Yeah? 2187 01:49:06,200 --> 01:49:08,680 Speaker 6: Sure, I could see the Eagles beating the Steelers. I 2188 01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:12,880 Speaker 6: think they're a better football team in construction. But who 2189 01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,360 Speaker 6: do I think is gonna win this game? If I 2190 01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:18,160 Speaker 6: close my eyes and I picture who's gonna win this game, 2191 01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:20,880 Speaker 6: it's the Steelers. So I'm gonna stay off of it 2192 01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:25,160 Speaker 6: because I'm torn. My gut says it's the Steelers, my 2193 01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,920 Speaker 6: brain says it's the Eagles. So it's a no go 2194 01:49:28,080 --> 01:49:31,320 Speaker 6: for me in terms of picking a side. And I'm 2195 01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:35,000 Speaker 6: very curious if the Eagles lose this game, and especially 2196 01:49:35,040 --> 01:49:37,760 Speaker 6: if it's a bad loss, like if they get like 2197 01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,400 Speaker 6: a two score loss fed to them by the Steelers 2198 01:49:41,400 --> 01:49:44,200 Speaker 6: and they get beat up a little bit, what happens 2199 01:49:44,360 --> 01:49:47,240 Speaker 6: to the commentary inside of the locker room? How much 2200 01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,320 Speaker 6: more are we gonna hear about all that next week? 2201 01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:51,519 Speaker 1: Yeah? 2202 01:49:51,680 --> 01:49:53,799 Speaker 5: I like the way you broke that down. Fun story. 2203 01:49:53,880 --> 01:49:55,799 Speaker 5: Two thousand and four, My freshman year at Penn. 2204 01:49:55,600 --> 01:50:00,360 Speaker 7: State Philly was undefeated. Steelers were six and one. Played 2205 01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:02,720 Speaker 7: each other early in the year. 2206 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,080 Speaker 5: It was like, yeah, it was like early November, and 2207 01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,400 Speaker 5: I remember that week on the bus. 2208 01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:10,720 Speaker 7: The the white Loop bus. Oh my goodness, people work out. 2209 01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:12,760 Speaker 7: It was like you would think it was World War 2210 01:50:12,800 --> 01:50:15,120 Speaker 7: Three between the Eagles and the and the and the 2211 01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:19,000 Speaker 7: Steelers fans. And the Eagles lost the game. They got 2212 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:20,920 Speaker 7: killed in the game, but then they ended up going 2213 01:50:20,920 --> 01:50:22,360 Speaker 7: to the super Bowl and then lost, of course to 2214 01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:22,839 Speaker 7: the Patriots. 2215 01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,080 Speaker 5: That was one of the been of Arry Kicks. 2216 01:50:24,800 --> 01:50:26,760 Speaker 7: But that's a side note for this game that has 2217 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:29,000 Speaker 7: nothing to do with this game. I think this game 2218 01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:33,559 Speaker 7: comes down to can the Eagles control the tempo because 2219 01:50:33,560 --> 01:50:36,200 Speaker 7: the Steelers, like, that's what when you pick, when you 2220 01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:38,200 Speaker 7: close your eyes and you picture Steeler football. It's like 2221 01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:42,040 Speaker 7: Jerome Bettis running the ball, controlling the clock. It's a 2222 01:50:42,040 --> 01:50:44,600 Speaker 7: bit of a different Steelers offense this year, and I 2223 01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:47,439 Speaker 7: credit Arthur Smith. Arthur Smith, I know he's a meme 2224 01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:50,040 Speaker 7: in Atlanta, but he has done a really good job 2225 01:50:50,640 --> 01:50:53,519 Speaker 7: in getting Russell Wilson in the right place. No George 2226 01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:56,639 Speaker 7: Pickens this week, I think is impactful. But I think 2227 01:50:56,640 --> 01:51:01,559 Speaker 7: this Steelers offense is a modern version of the Roethlisberger Bettist, 2228 01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:05,360 Speaker 7: like the really successful offenses they've had. Like Roethlisberger didn't 2229 01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,400 Speaker 7: wow you with his physical traits, but he always put 2230 01:51:07,439 --> 01:51:09,200 Speaker 7: the ball in the right spot and he kept plays alive. 2231 01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:11,360 Speaker 7: And I think that's what Russell Wilson's able to do. 2232 01:51:11,840 --> 01:51:13,960 Speaker 7: And I think they've got a really good defense. So 2233 01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,040 Speaker 7: to me, taking the points here made sense. I took 2234 01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:19,599 Speaker 7: Pittsburgh plus five and a half. Where do I think 2235 01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:22,840 Speaker 7: the number moves. I think it probably touches six. I 2236 01:51:22,840 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 7: do see a six at a shop here in town. 2237 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,000 Speaker 7: But I still feel like I would rather be on 2238 01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:29,160 Speaker 7: the plus side of the points led during this game. 2239 01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:30,680 Speaker 5: Based off of the matchup. 2240 01:51:30,880 --> 01:51:34,040 Speaker 4: Hey, real fast, a couple of the scraps we wanted 2241 01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:35,760 Speaker 4: to work into the show. We got a tweet here 2242 01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:39,920 Speaker 4: Preller Forever shout out to him. He wrote, after you 2243 01:51:40,120 --> 01:51:44,639 Speaker 4: changed the college football seeding, please change the NFL seeding 2244 01:51:44,680 --> 01:51:45,160 Speaker 4: as well. 2245 01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:47,040 Speaker 3: And eleven and two Minnesota team. 2246 01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:50,400 Speaker 4: Shouldn't be the five seed behind Tampa and Seattle. 2247 01:51:50,439 --> 01:51:52,800 Speaker 3: He's right, amen to that. I've been yelling about that 2248 01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:53,840 Speaker 3: for years and years. 2249 01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:55,639 Speaker 5: I wonder why they can't figure that out. 2250 01:51:55,720 --> 01:51:57,240 Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing college football. 2251 01:51:57,320 --> 01:52:00,600 Speaker 4: You win your conference, you're in NFL, you w in 2252 01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:04,479 Speaker 4: your division, you're in. You're not getting it a bye right, 2253 01:52:04,520 --> 01:52:07,360 Speaker 4: Like you're not getting an automatic home game in the NFL. 2254 01:52:07,400 --> 01:52:10,760 Speaker 4: Like you're just in and your record will determine where 2255 01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:14,160 Speaker 4: you're slotted.

Yes, 2340 01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:19,800 Speaker 7: these teams played earlier this year, back in September. It 2341 01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:22,920 Speaker 7: was also in South Dakota. The temperature was seventy two degrees. 2342 01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:25,040 Speaker 7: It was a very high scoring game. I do not 2343 01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:27,680 Speaker 7: think it is going to be that today, not only 2344 01:56:27,720 --> 01:56:29,360 Speaker 7: the weather, but also second time these. 2345 01:56:29,280 --> 01:56:30,680 Speaker 5: Teams have faced each other this year. 2346 01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:35,240 Speaker 7: You have two great defenses, especially South Dakota State, averaging 2347 01:56:35,360 --> 01:56:37,480 Speaker 7: just nine point two points per game allowed since. 2348 01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:39,400 Speaker 5: That Incarnate Ware game. Under fifty four and a half. 2349 01:56:39,480 --> 01:56:42,200 Speaker 7: How about it over in the salute to the Veterans Bowl. 2350 01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:44,440 Speaker 7: That's gonna be a theme here with these last two picks. 2351 01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:47,040 Speaker 7: South Alabama, Western Michigan over fifty seven and a half. 2352 01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:48,360 Speaker 7: I'd be lying to you if I said I'd watched 2353 01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:51,320 Speaker 7: one second of Western Michigan this year, but it allowed 2354 01:56:51,320 --> 01:56:53,600 Speaker 7: thirty points in half of their games, and three of 2355 01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:56,200 Speaker 7: those games were wins. So let's get a shootout in 2356 01:56:56,240 --> 01:56:59,120 Speaker 7: this first Bowl game. And the over in Army Navy 2357 01:56:59,200 --> 01:57:01,560 Speaker 7: it is thirty nine. We've seen a slight move up 2358 01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:03,840 Speaker 7: with this total. I think it is the right move. 2359 01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:06,560 Speaker 7: Army huge increase in their offensive out but this year, 2360 01:57:06,680 --> 01:57:07,480 Speaker 7: same with Navy. 2361 01:57:07,640 --> 01:57:09,480 Speaker 5: Over thirty nine in Army Navy. 2362 01:57:09,760 --> 01:57:10,240 Speaker 1: Like it a lot. 2363 01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:13,280 Speaker 6: Okay, so we're on the same side in terms of 2364 01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:16,520 Speaker 6: the total. Over thirty nine on Army Navy. 2365 01:57:16,840 --> 01:57:18,960 Speaker 1: How about this, I'm taking. 2366 01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:21,720 Speaker 6: Navy plus the six and a half. I like the 2367 01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:25,120 Speaker 6: mid chipman. I like the passing game that they employed 2368 01:57:25,160 --> 01:57:28,080 Speaker 6: this season. I like the play action stuff they do. 2369 01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:30,720 Speaker 6: I think they'll catch Armies defense sleep in a couple 2370 01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:31,280 Speaker 6: of times. 2371 01:57:31,560 --> 01:57:33,360 Speaker 1: This is going to be a high scoring affair. 2372 01:57:33,880 --> 01:57:36,440 Speaker 6: Two good teams facing each other in the Army Navy 2373 01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:39,440 Speaker 6: game this year nineteen combined wins. 2374 01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:42,600 Speaker 1: I mean, just a ton of fun.

Over fifteen and a half rushing yards 2389 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:25,560 Speaker 4: against those feisty giants of yours, rich right, I expect 2390 01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:27,400 Speaker 4: a pretty comfortable lead. 2391 01:58:27,440 --> 01:58:30,880 Speaker 3: You're not gonna run Dereck Henry straight into the ground. 2392 01:58:30,960 --> 01:58:33,360 Speaker 4: So Justice Hill gets a couple of carries, he gets 2393 01:58:33,400 --> 01:58:36,320 Speaker 4: over fifteen and a half rush yards. Give me Carolina 2394 01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:40,560 Speaker 4: Panthers quarterback Bryce Young over thirteen and a half rush yards. 2395 01:58:41,200 --> 01:58:44,600 Speaker 4: He ran it seven times last week.
