Typically this is the time 18 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: of year where no sports are happening, specifically because baseball 19 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: is in its All Star breaks, so nothing's going on. 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: So there's a bunch of athletes and actors and stuff 21 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: like that.

Yeah, the scenery here is 54 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: decidedly different. They're actually doing some utility work outside the 55 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: studio window here, and there's a jackhammer that's been going 56 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: for about twelve straight hours. 57 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: I'd take it so right now. 58 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: What I've got is a series of blankets draped over 59 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: my window in hopes of maybe deadening the sound. It 60 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: looks like I've configured a kill room. 61 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: Dan, I've been hearing Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars and 62 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: Lana del Rey at a very loud volume at the 63 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: pool outside. So I would still take yours also, Ty, 64 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 2: I realize something this is unrelated, but I want you 65 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 2: to do your best to accommodate the people that are 66 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 2: listening to the show at one and a half speed, 67 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 2: okay or two time speed? Do you have a preference? 68 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: How fast do you listen to your podcasts. 69 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: I usually go about one point twenty five on my 70 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: overcast player. 71 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: Here's what I want from you. I want you to 72 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 2: tell people where they can find the solid verbal online, 73 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: just whether it's Twitter or Facebook or Instagram. But I 74 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 2: want you to slow down your cadence because I do 75 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: not want people just speeding past. 76 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 1: You can find the solid verbal on Twitter at solid verbal, 77 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: at Facebook dot com slash solid verbal. You can also 78 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: subscribe to our newsletter newsletter my going to solidverbal dot com. 79 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: I can't do this any longer, Dan, I'm dying here now. 80 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 2: I know. I just listen. We're forcing people in. Screw you, Overcast. 81 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: We are. We are getting a ton of new sign 82 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: ups on our newsletter, mainly because we've promised you that 83 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: if you sign up, we'll give you information about shirts 84 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: and take it to the live show, which you and 85 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: I are about to firm up, and we'll probably be announcing, 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: I would say within the next seven to ten days. 87 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: There's also a subreddit now up and running. I had 88 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 1: a chance to visit it. Peter, one of the mods 89 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: I believe as their own, is doing some cool stuff, 90 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: so check that out. I'm excited to have a community 91 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: that ourverbawlers can go to and you know, secure us 92 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: behind our backs. I'm sure they'll enjoy that as well. Yep, 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: what are we doing tonight? Dan, you're out in Tahoe. 94 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: I'm back here in eastern Pennsylvania. Typically in a situation 95 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: like this, we'll just punt on the show. We'll say, now, 96 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: we're not going to do it this week, too difficult. Correct, 97 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: we have figured out the logistics of how we're going 98 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: to do this show, and we're going back to the well, 99 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: putting a little bit of a different spin on a 100 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 1: concept we trotted out for the first time last summer. 101 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: And you know, we could sort of call it, let's 102 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: make a deal if we want. In reality, it's kind 103 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: of not that we're gonna do some heads up matchups. 104 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: We're going to pose some propositions to each other, and 105 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: not in the way you'd think. These are entirely college football, 106 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: I promise, And we're going to talk through some situations 107 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: we could see coming down the pike here in the 108 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen college football season. Correct, and we're going to 109 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: pick which side of things you and I would feel 110 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: more comfortable with. 111 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 2: This is true, and I don't think we're always going 112 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: to come down on the same side. I don't think 113 00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: we're always going to agree. But that's okay, Ty. It's 114 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: about competing. I have Yogi Roth in the back of 115 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 2: my head. It's about competing. It's about finding who you are, 116 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: and it's about moving forward. And you know what, Ty, 117 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 2: if this show is a show in which we start 118 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: to butt heads and we start to go at each other, 119 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: I want you to know in advance that I have 120 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: contacted a foreign entity and have conducted a bit of opposition. Right, 121 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: all right, just watch yourself Tie. 122 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: First topic, we have a heads up matchup, Dan, which 123 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: side of the equation do you fall on? Siday, We've 124 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: got the total number of Oklahoma Sooners wins in twenty seventeen. 125 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,799 Speaker 1: On side B, we have the number of Big Twelve 126 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: coaches returning for the twenty eighteen season. So this is 127 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: a good one. I like this one. The Vegas over 128 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: under currently for Oklahoma football wins sits at exactly ten. 129 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: In this case, if Oklahoma wins all ten games, obviously 130 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: they would at worst be a push. In the situation 131 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: there's only ten teams in the Big Twelve. I don't 132 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: think Oklahoma's gonna win ten games this year, and I 133 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 1: like more or less, I'll give them like nine wins, right, 134 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: that's not a bad year at all. But ten wins 135 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: new coach, some turnover just seems like a tall order 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: at this point. Again, snap judgments. We haven't done any 137 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: deep dive of any of these teams, but ten wins 138 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: for me new situation feels like a bit of a stretch. 139 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: So with that in mind, if I'm saying nine wins 140 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: for Oklahoma, we'd have to retain all ten coaches in 141 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve in order for the Big twelve side 142 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: of this to win. So I think I'm going to 143 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: go Oklahoma wins over Big twelve coaches returning for twenty eighteen. 144 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: So you're in the camp of there will be eight 145 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: or fewer coaches returning. 146 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: I am, and I went through what I counted which 147 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: ones I thought were the most vulnerable. I don't think 148 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: Kansas is in any danger of losing their head football 149 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: coach David Beattie because he actually did a half theas 150 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: in job last year. 151 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: Could regrets, but yes he did. 152 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: Matt Ruhle's not going anywhere at Baylor. He just got there. 153 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: Matt Campbell not going anywhere. At Iowa State, he did 154 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: a pretty good job La year. Lincoln Riley another situation 155 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: just kind of got there. Mike Gundy, Gary Patterson, Tom Herman, 156 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: Dana Holgerson. I'll even throw into that camp. These are 157 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: guys that, provided the bottom doesn't fall out, in many cases, 158 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: they just got there. In many cases they've been there 159 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: for a while and have done some good stuff. You know, 160 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: Holgerson's always kind of on the fence, but I still 161 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: feel pretty good about his situation. West Virginia should have 162 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: a good year. The ones that jump out at me, 163 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: the obvious ones Cliff Kingsbury. Cliff Kingsbury needs to turn 164 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: some things around. I think they've got a fascination with 165 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: him in Lubbock that he wouldn't be an easy guy 166 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: to get rid of. But the on field results need 167 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: to be there in twenty seventeen more so than they 168 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 1: have in the past. I'm also very interested to see 169 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: what happens with Bill Snyder, and not because I think 170 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: Kansas State is gonna have a bad year, but at 171 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 1: some point the guy's got to retire, right. 172 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, And coming off of an off season with a 173 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 2: pretty serious illness, it doesn't seem like he is much 174 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 2: like longer for Manhattan. 175 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: So again, if I'm picking between the two, I think 176 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: Oklahoma has more. The smart money would be on I 177 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: think nine wins over let's say eight and a half 178 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 1: is kind of how I feel about returning coaches in 179 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve. 180 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's correct. I am going to go 181 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: with Oklahoma wins as well, but I think more comfortably 182 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: than you have it, because I think Oklahoma will win 183 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: at least ten games. The Ohio State game on the 184 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: road early is much more than tricky. They go to 185 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, so bedlam is earlier on in November. They 186 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 2: go to Kansas, they go to Kansas State, they go 187 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: to Baylors So not the most difficult stretch other than 188 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: Ohio State on the road in Oklahoma State, Kansas State. 189 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 2: It's a tough schedule. I'm going to say, by the way, though, 190 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: before we move on, that there will be seven coaches. 191 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: Oh back, so he're not eight. Who do you have 192 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 1: as departing the Big twelve. 193 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Some sort of combination of Dana Holgerson, Gary Patterson. I 194 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: have the Bill Snyder, I have the Cliff Kingsbery. I 195 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: think there's going to be a promotion. I don't know 196 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: if it's Gary Patterson. I don't know if it's whole. 197 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's even David Baty if he 198 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 2: has another really good year and proves that he can 199 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 2: salvage something and has earned an even bigger job. But 200 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 2: I think there's going to be even more turnover as 201 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 2: the Big twelve becomes a less and less desirable place 202 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: to coach. 203 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: Interesting. 204 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so like ten to seven, eleven to seven 205 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 2: kind of thing. Next topic, Dan, here we go. I'm 206 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: excited about this one. I'm excited. I think we're going 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: to get some interesting feedback on this one. Minnesota wins 208 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, the ultimate wild card. Now with an 209 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: ultimate wild card as their head coach in PJ. Fleck, 210 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: they're Vegas over under for wins is seven and a 211 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 2: half versus total wins by the Iowa Hawk guys in 212 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. 213 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: They're Vegas total at least again very early mid July, 214 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: we're talking seven wins, so two comparable teams. If you 215 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: look at the Bill Connolly previews for both of these schools, 216 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: he sort of weighs in that Minnesota is just that 217 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: they're a wild card. He could see them finishing anywhere 218 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: between three and nine and nine and three. And on 219 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: the Iowa side, it's kind of tough to tell whether 220 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they go up, whether they go down. A typical Iowa team, 221 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: They've got a solid defensive core coming back, but there 222 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: are questions on office. Our passing game was horrible a 223 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: year ago. They need to try and turn that around 224 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: if they want to progress things forward. So Minnesota versus Iowa, 225 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Dan new coach, old coach, A lot of excitement on 226 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: one side, steady as she goes on the other, what 227 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: do you think? 228 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: Well, first of all, to take a step back, I 229 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: commend you, and I don't even know if you do 230 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 2: this intentionally, but this is the matchup that gives out 231 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: the greatest trophy in college football. Floyd Rosedale, that's right 232 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: by far. It's just a pig on a stand. It's great, 233 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: and it is that that is life. I don't know 234 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 2: what that means, but that is life. So here's where 235 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: I come down. I really like the potential of PJ. 236 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: Fleck and his staff at Minnesota and going a totally 237 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: new direction because we know year over year, you know 238 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 2: it was it was a similar system moving from coach 239 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 2: to coach to coach to coach for a little bit. 240 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: And I think right now, given the fresh blood, the 241 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: new blood, I'm being very sort of violent talking about 242 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 2: pig blood. I don't know, whatever the case may be. 243 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: I am going with Minnesota for one reason and one 244 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 2: reason only. Their schedule is way better. 245 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. 246 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 2: I has got a brutal schedule. Minnesota might just be Okay, 247 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: they might. I think they're going to be pretty good 248 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen, but all things point to them perhaps 249 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 2: starting at either four and one or five and zero, 250 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: which is a nice little base to have for the season. TI. 251 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: We don't know anything about Michigan State. We know Illinois 252 00:12:58,120 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: is going to be bad. They're road games in the 253 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 2: second half of the year at Iowa tough, at Michigan 254 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: very tough. At Northwestern decently tough as well. You notice 255 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: how I didn't say Ohio State or Penn State anywhere. Yeah, 256 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: talking about their schedule. So I think Minnesota can do 257 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: what they do best, and that's like a quiet eight 258 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 2: and four, nine to three type of season, whereas with 259 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: Iowa's schedule being less than ideal, starting with a very 260 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 2: tough group of five team in Wyoming going to Iowa 261 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 2: State and Alasico getting Penn State pretty early on traveling 262 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: to Michigan State. We don't know Wisconsin on the road, 263 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 2: Nebraska on the road two out of three weeks to 264 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 2: finish the season. It's a tough year for Iowa scheduling wise. 265 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 2: With a new offensive coordinator, it's going to be a 266 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 2: relatively similar offense. But schedule alone, I'm taking Minnesota to 267 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: take home not just the Floyda Rosedale, but also this 268 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: competition I go. I think they go above seven and 269 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 2: a half, and Iowa I'm not so sure. 270 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: Iowa's schedule is decidedly more difficult than Minnesota. The thing 271 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: that both schedules share is that the back half of 272 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: the schedule for both is somewhat loaded, something of a 273 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: murderer's row, And in both cases, I would venture a 274 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: guess that a game earlier ish in the season for 275 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: both against Michigan State is sort of going to be 276 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: the bell weather. As I will get Minnesota's schedule, I 277 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: can very easily see a win over Buffalo and Oregon 278 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: State and Middle Tennessee and Maryland and Purdue even throw 279 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: Illinois in there. Why not Michigan State. I don't know 280 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: what to expect that at Michigan State. Michigan State's kind 281 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 1: of in a weird rebuild for the second year in 282 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: a row. And then after that you go to Iowa 283 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: to Michigan home against Nebraska to Northwestern, which is a 284 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: weird place to play, and then close out the year 285 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: against Wisconsin. You could craft a scenario or Minnesota goes 286 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: zero to five in its final five games. I still 287 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: think I feel better about them than I do Iowa. 288 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: But Iowa has fooled me before, so I don't think 289 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: as a talking to your kids about Iowa kind of year. 290 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: But it wouldn't be beyond them at all to just 291 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: win with a solid running game and a pretty good defense. 292 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 2: You know what I'm interested in, time, and this is 293 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 2: going to sound a little bit strange. I'm interested in 294 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: the Hideo Nomo factory off of these teams. Do you 295 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: remember Hydeo Nomo? 296 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: How could I ever forget what. 297 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 2: Was unique about Hideo Nomo's game? His wind up, crazy 298 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 2: wind up, sure, and early on in his career, hitters 299 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 2: just couldn't figure it out. And there was just the 300 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 2: thing like, well, Baseball's going to catch up to him, 301 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 2: baseball is going to catch up to him. It's just 302 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 2: so new and so weird and different that everybody just 303 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: sort of struggled with that. I think that factor from 304 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 2: Minnesota with a new staff, new offense, new defense, familiar 305 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 2: faces obviously, but new schemes, new attitude, whatever, and coming 306 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 2: off of a very strange back half of the year, 307 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: given everything that happened off the field, you know, it's 308 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 2: a fresh start for the Gophers. I think the Hitdeo 309 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: Nomo factor for Minnesota is higher, although I think it 310 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: still exists with Iowa because the new offense. But I 311 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 2: see Iowa even with returning star power in the backfield. 312 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: I think you and I both love Akrom Wadley. Yeah, yeah, 313 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 2: I think the Hideo Nomo factor favors Minnesota. So I'm 314 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 2: going with the Gulf. 315 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 1: We're chock full of baseball analogies as it relates to 316 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the big time. 317 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: I loved Hideo Nomo. I loved Well. 318 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: You were a Dodgers fan too, you still are, Yeah, 319 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: so I could certainly see why he'd be a big deal. 320 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: Who wasn't a Hideo Nomo fan? 321 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 2: Absolutely well. I mean, you were a Yankees fan and 322 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: you had you had a bunch of Japanese imports. Maybe 323 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: that played a little bit an unorthodox way. 324 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Hideo Nomo was no Hideki rob Who mind you, but 325 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: he was still pretty good and exciting to watch. But 326 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: we've used the Hideo Nomo factor in the Big Ten West. 327 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: We've also compared playing in Evanston to trying to hit 328 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 1: a knuckleballer at some point in our past. So Big 329 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: Ten West should be an interesting year. I think it 330 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: overall improves. I am gonna go in Minnesota here over Iowa? 331 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 2: Who would you say? And I'm totally putting you on 332 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 2: the spot. Here has the biggest, the most robust and 333 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: dynamic Hideo Nomo fan situation going into the season. Is 334 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 2: it Oklahoma with a new emergent not emergency but last 335 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: minute coaching change? Is it's who is it? I mean 336 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 2: Alabama new offense and replacing a bunch of assistants. I 337 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 2: think the clumbson quarterback? You know, I mean the easy 338 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: answer is probably Navy football. You could use that one 339 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 2: every year. 340 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: The problem is that Navy football doesn't have quite the 341 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,360 Speaker 1: same Hedeonomo factor because they've been doing it successfully yeah, 342 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: for a number of years. So it's definitely not a 343 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 1: flash in the pan once you get used to him. 344 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: I also think Texas could be an interesting answer because 345 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: no one's quite sure what we're going to see from 346 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: the same personnel from a year ago. You can take guesses, 347 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: but in spring game they kept it pretty vanilla. You 348 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: just don't know how Tom Herman's going to assemble the parts. 349 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: You know What's an interesting one to me? Florida with 350 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 2: Malik's air and how they might wiggle that offense around 351 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 2: his talents. 352 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: Last year, Alabama and Jalen Hurts would have been an 353 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: interesting example. Again, the problem with the analogy though, is 354 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: that no one could really beat Alabama. 355 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just it's much more saying we don't know 356 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: what they're going to look like at all. Going into 357 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: the Bamas season. We thought Blake Barnett might be starting, 358 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 2: or he did start against USC. But yeah, maybe you 359 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: know you have the idea Ohio State's offense, there's a 360 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 2: Hideo Nomo factor with Kevin Wilson taking over Ryan Day. 361 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, there's a bunch of interesting normal factors. 362 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: All right, next topic, here we go. 363 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 2: Next topic. 364 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: We've got two prominent quarterbacks, one East Coast, one West Coast. 365 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: One South one North one. DeAndre Francois fres Waugh from 366 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: Florida State. His quarterback ranking versus FBS teams. 367 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: Rating, yeah yeah, the ranking of his rating, yeah, the. 368 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: Ranking of his rating okay. So for example, he had 369 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: the thirty ninth best quarterback ranking in twenty sixteen. His 370 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: quarterback rating ranking versus Jake Browning touchdown passes he had 371 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: thirty nine a year ago. So if you compare DeAndre 372 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: Francois's ranking of his quarterback rating from a year ago, 373 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: he was thirty ninth to Jake Browning's TV passes from 374 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, he also had thirty nine, So by that metric, 375 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: By that metric, it's a draw. Here's the problem I 376 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: have with this, Dan, I'm ready. If DeAndrea Francois gets better, 377 00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: that number goes down. The number goes down, well, oh yeah, 378 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: proves he could seemingly jump up to like twenty four 379 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: and Jake Browning. All he'd really have to do is 380 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: not get hurt and he would easily win this one. 381 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: So I think the smart money is on Jake Browning. 382 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: The interesting question though, is if DeAndrea Francois declines it all, 383 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: if he has a little bit of a sophomore slump. Now, 384 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 1: I happen to think that that DeAndre francois pretty good 385 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: and that he was a warrior out there and played 386 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: through pain in a ton of situations. But I've been 387 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: surprised in just kind of perusing the internet that not 388 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: everyone shares the opinion that he's just automatically going to 389 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: get better. There are people out there who adamantly believe 390 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: that he's a good quarterback. He's a serviceable quarterback, but 391 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,959 Speaker 1: that any in all comparisons to like a Jamis Winston 392 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 1: or any great quarterback in Florida State's past, is ill 393 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: placed on DeAndre Francois. He'll be fine, but just maybe 394 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: not one of the all time greats. On what side 395 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: of the fence do you find yourself on DeAndre Francois. 396 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: I think he's fine. I think he's above average. I 397 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 2: think if you pay attention to him enough. And our 398 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 2: pal Buddy about Elliott has talked about this as being 399 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: a major part of the Jimbo Fisher system. He doesn't 400 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 2: make a ton of mistakes, which is more than you 401 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 2: can say for a number of huge quarterbacks a big 402 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: schools that sometimes they'll be mistake prone, as Jameis Winston 403 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: was later on in his career at Florida State. So 404 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 2: that's a big, big item, big factor in Francois's favor. 405 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: I just think he's fine. I think the offense will 406 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 2: be interesting. I like the running game. I like the 407 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 2: youth in the backfield the receivers have. There's a ton 408 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: of talents, a ton of depth there. But here's the 409 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 2: problem I have with just automatically thinking Francois is going 410 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 2: to improve upon that specific number. He has a lot 411 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: of good defenses on his schedule. They open against Bama, 412 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: they have Miami, they have NC State, they have an 413 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 2: improved Wake granted without last year's defensive coordinator, thank you, Tie. 414 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 2: They have a good Louisville defense, they have a good 415 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: Clemson defense. They have a good Florida defense. Late, I 416 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 2: think it's going to be a little bit more difficult 417 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: for DeAndre Francois to improve. But then there's another factor, Tie, 418 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 2: and that's the John Ross factor. 419 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: John Ross factor. 420 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: Do you know how many receiving touchdowns John Ross had 421 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: last year and will not be there this year because 422 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: he is a National Football League player. 423 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 1: A ton. 424 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 2: I think he had seventeen touchdown catches. Wow, he's a 425 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: special talent. So that number I don't think will be 426 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 2: matched by anybody or even approached by anybody. So by 427 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 2: that factor, I still think, just barely, I'm gonna go 428 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,959 Speaker 2: with Jake Browning because I am I'm worried about DeAndre 429 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 2: France while was rating against this schedule. 430 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,719 Speaker 1: So okay, a point of clarification. Please, If de Andrea 431 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 1: Francois is the twenty fifth best quarterback in twenty seventeen 432 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: according to quarterback Ranking, Jake Browning throws twenty nine touchdown passes, 433 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: we're looking for the higher number in Jake Browning. Right, Yes, 434 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: I gotta go Jake Browning. 435 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: Yes, okay. 436 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: I like DeAndre Francois. I think he's going to improve, 437 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: but I think this is a tougher proposition than meets 438 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: the eye. 439 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: So I think Francois improves a little bit. 440 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, And in fairness, he could improve a little bit 441 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: and still sink in this reigning mm hm okay, next topic, Dan, 442 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: did you unfurl your mattress yet? 443 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 2: I did not unfurl my mattress. I've been on the road, ah, 444 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: I know, we've been cleaning the apartment. I know it's 445 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: I'm a time. I'm a bad person, I'm a bad 446 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: podcast host. This has been long established. 447 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,879 Speaker 1: I've said it once, I'll say it again. My Casper 448 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: mattress has changed my life. I'm sleeping better, I'm feeling 449 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: better about my life. I'm not waking up with a 450 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: dead shoulder next to me on the pillow. It's very important, Dan. 451 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: You know I have shoulder issues. I had surgery on 452 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: my left shoulder many moons ago. I don't have to 453 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: worry about waking up looking at it like it's a 454 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: piece of dead meat, like it typically had felt with 455 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: my old memory film mattress.

I'm going to indulge you with 550 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 2: this one because every single time we do hypotheticals, every 551 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: single time we try to figure out things we like 552 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 2: or have crushes on. You come back to your alma mater. 553 00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: May I ask you something, ty, because we have a 554 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,239 Speaker 2: Penn State item we do, and we made this very 555 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 2: specific to us. If your fandom right now or not 556 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: even your fandom, your focus were a meter and on 557 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 2: one side of the meter it says Penn State and 558 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 2: the other side it said Notre Dame. And so basically 559 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: there's a tug of war happening with the needle on 560 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: this meter right where is the needle focused? Are we 561 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 2: sixty forty Notre Dame? We fifty to fifty? We seven 562 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 2: thirty Penn State? Because I'm getting a lot of Penn 563 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: State out of you. 564 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it used to be like ninety five 565 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: five in favor of under Dame. I was an odd 566 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: ball and that I was raised in the state of Pennsylvania, 567 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: where everyone was a Penn State fan, but my family 568 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: was not. My family trained me from birth to try 569 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: and root for a different team, Notre Dame, and all 570 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: throughout college I had a negative view of the Penn 571 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: State football team because I had been brought up in 572 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: a certain way. It wasn't until after college that I 573 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: don't know what happened, but I softened on Penn State. 574 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: So Notre Dame is still my alpha team, and I 575 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: don't even think it's close. But if I'm picking a 576 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 1: team number two, it's probably Penn State. It definite, probably 577 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: pens It's definitely Penn State. 578 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: I think if you got a phone call right after 579 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 2: we finished recording from Mike Kasiki saying you want to 580 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: host a podcast together about college football, Hans Casett, Yeah, 581 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 2: you you would delete my number so quickly. I might 582 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 2: do it and even register. 583 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: I might do it. 584 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, so where's your needle right now? If it was 585 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 2: ninety five to five, where is it right now? I'll go. 586 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: But Saquon Barkley does strange things to men. 587 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, Saquon Barkley probably makes it about sixty two thirty eight. 588 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 2: Wow, that's a significant jump. 589 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I dig it, Ty, I like it. I'm nothing 590 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: if not. 591 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: You know who's gonna love that? You know who's gonna 592 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: love hearing this? Mum age all of our friends in 593 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 2: the pen life comments. 594 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: Oh that's right. I can't wait for that. We need 595 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: to get on that show that we need to play 596 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: that game again sometime soon. 597 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 2: Oh okay, that's true. Okay, all right, where. 598 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: Are we going next? 599 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 2: Now? 600 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: Where we going? 601 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: All? Right, So we're gonna go total Penn State. Heisman invites. 602 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: That's right, there was there, there was an ulterior motive. 603 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: There wasn't there. 604 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: Absolutely total Penn State and anilion. Heisman invites plural plural first, 605 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: and this is about me Los Angeles quarterback. Heisman invites, 606 00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 2: So an obvious reference to CAL State Northridge and cal 607 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 2: Poly Pomona. Now we're going with Josh Rosen and Sam Darnolds. 608 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 2: So wow, total Heisman. And it seems on the surface 609 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: this would be a reference to Trace McSorley and Saquon Barkley. 610 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: Right right, Huh. It's interesting you bring that up because 611 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this and thinking about a similar question, 612 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: maybe not geared so much around how many Penn Staters 613 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: versus how many LA quarterbacks will go to New York, 614 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: but mainly will Trace McSorley join Saquon Barkley in New 615 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: York City. Now we're assuming that Saquon is going to 616 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: be there at all, provided doesn't get hurt. I think 617 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: he will. But Trace McSorley is an interesting one. He's 618 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: an interesting one I think if he goes at all 619 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 1: but ensures that Saquon won't win unless he has a 620 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: baller of a season. It would ensure that Penn State 621 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: as a team had a pretty good year if he 622 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: had enough notoriety to make it to New York to 623 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: begin with. So it's contingent on a number of factors. 624 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: I think Saquon will be there. I don't think Trace 625 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 1: McSorley will. I think he'll probably finish right outside the 626 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: running six, seventh, eight somewhere in there. I don't think 627 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 1: any quarterbacks from LA will be there zero. I don't 628 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 1: think that's necessarily a knock on Sam Darnold or on 629 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: I guess Josh Rosen. Both could have good years, but 630 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if either is going to put up 631 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: the kind of pinball numbers that it seems the Heisman requires. 632 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 2: Nowadays, you're going Penn State, who has a trickier schedule 633 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 2: this year, but has an opportunity. They play Ohio State 634 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 2: in Michigan consecutive weeks. 635 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: Right, that's correct. 636 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 2: So just in terms of if Trace mcsorly shines right 637 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: in I believe it's later on in October. If he 638 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,040 Speaker 2: shines right both of those games, if Penn State is 639 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 2: what we anticipate them being, will be on national stage. 640 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: I think the Ohio State game is already on Fox. 641 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: It's a nooner. Though, let's assume the Michigan game is 642 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 2: a night game, so he will be on display, him 643 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: and his And it's funny that you don't mention the 644 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,120 Speaker 2: pop gun arm anymore. Isn't that interesting? How you stop 645 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 2: making that reference? 646 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: I noticed these things, ty, Yeah, it's funny how that works. 647 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 2: But yeah, but the timing is perfect because the schedule 648 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 2: eases up after that with Michigan State, Rutgers, Nebraska, Maryland. 649 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 2: In terms of the defenses he will face after Ohio 650 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: State on the road, So timing wise, I don't know 651 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 2: if it matters that he puts up huge numbers, but 652 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 2: if he wins and looks good in that back to 653 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 2: back with Penn State receiving so much attention in such 654 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,480 Speaker 2: a confined space on the schedule, I think there's a 655 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 2: good shot. 656 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 1: Sure, I think there's a better that'll make or break that. 657 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 2: Don't think a combers thing. 658 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: There's a better shot of Penn Staters making it to 659 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 1: New York. Then you know both Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen. 660 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, if you told me that week seven, a 661 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: hole in the earth opened up and he fell into it. 662 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: I'd be like, I could see that happening. I just 663 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: don't know what to expect from in twenty seventeen. 664 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, new offensive coordinator, Hyeah. 665 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:20,720 Speaker 1: So I'm curious. 666 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:25,320 Speaker 2: Third in three years, right, Yeah, Kennedy Polamalu, Jetfish and 667 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 2: Nolma Zone. 668 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious. Remember the knock on him coming out 669 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:29,880 Speaker 1: of high school? Is he coachable? 670 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: Right? 671 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 1: I think he is, but I don't know if he's 672 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 1: done a whole lot to counter that argument. So we'll see. 673 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Penn State. 674 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 2: I almost think, I almost think trace McSorley has a 675 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 2: better shot than Saquon Barkley. And that's not a knock 676 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 2: at all on Saquon Barkley. I just think it's more 677 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: difficult with Penn State schedule, you know, having Iowa, Michigan, 678 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,839 Speaker 2: Ohio State, and obviously he tore up Iowa last year. 679 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,600 Speaker 2: But I think it's going to be more difficult unless 680 00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 2: he is putting up such crazy numbers consistently, and that 681 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 2: was something he didn't do last year. He had huge 682 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,959 Speaker 2: flash games, but he disappeared a little bit other games. 683 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 2: I think Trace McSorley as a quarterback in this system 684 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 2: in the second year in the system has a better 685 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 2: shot because of the way the heisman is laid out, 686 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,919 Speaker 2: not necessarily because of football talent. 687 00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: Interesting, okay, but. 688 00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 2: I'm my gut is to say push. I'm not a 689 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,840 Speaker 2: huge fan of Josh Rosen. With this third coordinator in 690 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 2: three years, I really really, really like Sam Darnold, and 691 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 2: I only think he gets better. He's without his number 692 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 2: one receiver. Offensive line changes a little bit, which worries me, 693 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,680 Speaker 2: given you know, protection issues, but I think he's escape. 694 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 2: His escapability is enough to the fact, enough to the 695 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: point where I think he gets there. So I'm going 696 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 2: to say I'm going to give the nod and say 697 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,839 Speaker 2: one La quarterback zero Penn Staters is the most likely, 698 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:51,960 Speaker 2: but they're both really good. 699 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 1: All right, let's do one more here and get out 700 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,960 Speaker 1: a little early since you're out there in tok Okay. 701 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: Give you a chance to go enjare the scenery. Yeah, 702 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: here is final quot. Did wait, did you put this 703 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: one in here? 704 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 2: I must have. 705 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see this one. So you've got Colorado 706 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:14,280 Speaker 1: wins versus the pac twelve North versus number of weeks 707 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: until Tye says, quote, I'm all in on Brandon Wimbush. 708 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one. 709 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 1: So you're thinking one win for Colorado and the PAC 710 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: twelve North, you're. 711 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 2: Gonna it's gonna happen that quickly. 712 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: It could, It could, Dan. 713 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,840 Speaker 2: After Temple, you're just making a declaration. 714 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: Here's what we got for Colorado's schedule against the PAC 715 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: twelve North. They play Washington, they play Oregon State, they 716 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,919 Speaker 1: play Washington State. Cal. 717 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, four games. They every team always misses two in 718 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,560 Speaker 2: the PAC twelve of the opposing division. 719 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,000 Speaker 1: The over under for them this year is like right 720 00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: on the number at six. Cal would probably be the 721 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: I think most obvious win here. 722 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 2: So they're rebuilding their defense, their defensive court and Jim 723 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 2: Levitt who goes to Oregon. Offensively, they lose safe a loofou. 724 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,239 Speaker 2: But that is a thing Colorado already. That's what they 725 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,600 Speaker 2: do every week. They lose safe. We Loufau comes back, 726 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,640 Speaker 2: they lose safe for a lufau whatever. Steven Monte has 727 00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 2: got a lot of time last year. The problem is 728 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 2: against Washington, the offense was terrible, the defense was great. 729 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 2: The defense is gonna be different. I don't imagine Washington's offer. 730 00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 2: Excuse me, Colorado's offense taking huge steps for versus Washington. 731 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 2: It was a good game, a good win against Wazoo 732 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: late in the year. Cal I think is a win. 733 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: I just Oregon State's tricky going to Corvallis. They're getting better. 734 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 2: I like Gary Anderson as a coach. I think that's 735 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 2: a tricky game. I think one and a half is 736 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 2: probably the over under of acceptable wins there. And then 737 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 2: if you compare that against Notre Dame, here's the first 738 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: five weeks, because you're going to say this within the 739 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 2: first five weeks, if you're going to say it at all, Ris, 740 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 2: Jeff Collins and Temple. I think we assume a good 741 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: defense given what has been recruited to Philly and what 742 00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 2: that defense has looked like consistently over the past three 743 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 2: or four years. Is that reasonable fare they're going to 744 00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 2: play and Notre Dame has struggled with Temple recently. They're 745 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 2: going to play Georgia. Is that at home or is 746 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 2: that a neutral site game? 747 00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:11,400 Speaker 1: That game is at home at night seven point thirty 748 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,440 Speaker 1: NBC Week two in Notre Dame. 749 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,560 Speaker 2: Stay okay, Okay, So there's a tricky game. Boston College 750 00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 2: should be relatively easy, not easy, but manageable. Defensively Michigan State. 751 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,760 Speaker 2: We don't fully know what to expect. Even when Michigan 752 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 2: State's bad, they still look pretty good against Notre Dame 753 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:33,799 Speaker 2: and Miami Ohio finishes out September. So I would say 754 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 2: the overunder would be two because I think that Georgia 755 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 2: game is everything. The Georgia game could definitely sway me 756 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: as far as your crush. If he looks great against Georgia, 757 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 2: then I can anticipate a Sunday morning, you know, eleven am. 758 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: I'm all in, baby, I'm all in. 759 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:49,959 Speaker 1: It could happen. 760 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 2: I'm ready, baby. Yeah. So what's your final your final 761 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 2: judgment you said post Temple's possible. 762 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Colorado wins. Let's go Colcorada wins. 763 00:38:58,680 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 2: I'll do like Mike McIntyre. 764 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: I'll be a caricature of myself. I lose, but yeah, 765 00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: let's go Colorado wins. 766 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 2: I like the facts that you can be all in 767 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 2: on Brandon Wimbush. Let's say after week two it looks 768 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 2: really good against Georgia and then you have USC, NC State, Miami, Navy, 769 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 2: and Stanford all to finish out the second half of 770 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: the year. For me to go back and say remember 771 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 2: when you said, but I really think Brandon Wimbush is 772 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 2: going to be be good for Notre Dame this year. 773 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 2: All right, there you have it, Dan, Yeah, I have 774 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 2: one other topic, but this is not a competing thing. 775 00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 2: This is not an either or and it's totally off topic. 776 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 2: But we are now. It's July eleventh, is that right? 777 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? 778 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 2: As we record this, Okay, in front of me, I 779 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: have the Billboard Hot one hundred and since you listen 780 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,920 Speaker 2: to music of this kind much more than I do, 781 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 2: just because you have a radio, and I don't really Yeah, 782 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 2: I guess I could listen on Spotify, but I'm not 783 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 2: exposed to this as much as you are. I'm gonna 784 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 2: give you the top five, okay, okay, that are currently 785 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,360 Speaker 2: a top It's the week of July twenty second, the 786 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 2: Billboard Hot one hundred.
