Speaker 2: No, we didn't agree on anything. That's the beauty of

29
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: this show.

30
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: We did argue. Yeah, people should know that this is

31
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: now our main topic of discussion on the Super Secret

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: That's who we are now. Off the record g chats

33
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: that we do before a show when we're trying to

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: plan all this out, talking about Saturdays, trying to name

35
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: the Saturdays. You did not mention sassafrass to me yesterday.

36
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: No, it was the silliest word I could think of.

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: What is sassafras?

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: I don't even know what sassafra? I think that's just

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: an old timey sassafrass? Is it like a plant? I mean,

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: I love the word. I think it is.

41
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: It is, It feels right. I think we should just

42
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: go with it.

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Sasafras is a genus of three extant and one extinct

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: species of deciduous trees in the family in the family

45
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: Laura say would be my guest, native to eastern North

46
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 2: America and eastern Asia. Okay, So I don't know how

47
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: we tie that in.

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 1: We can think about that, but sassafras is too good

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: a word to just leave it out there and not

50
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: use it.

51
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we might as well. We could just call

52
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: it Sassafras Saturday, just because it's fun to say. Maybe

53
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: the tree is keeping us shaded within the college football season,

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: giving us life tie right, giving us the oxygen that

55
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: we need to keep going for week what a week?

56
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: Week eleven?

57
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: You are really stretching here, But I like it. I

58
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: like it. Oh, Sassafras Saturday, I love it.

59
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: Okay, you suggested Sonar Saturday.

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: That did not know?

61
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: That was not very clear.

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Sink or swim Saturday we had as an odes.

63
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 2: That's not bad. It's just too it's pretty direct.

64
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Sting Saturday is still out there, mind you, but.

65
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 2: Still waiting to be chosen in the late rounds. I

66
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: also had Submarine Saturday. That's sort of the idea of

67
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: speed Bomby. I had speedbum Saturday. Not bad, No, we had.

68
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: I put in sleeping Saturday. That's a little weird. That's

69
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: a Little League Lightning round for you. Oh, I have

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: a good one today. Great Steak and Shake Saturday. I

71
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: don't think we can do that for legal reasons.

72
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Right, not a sponsor?

73
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. You had scullet Saturday. Like West

74
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: Virginia centric.

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: It is a little bit.

76
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: All right, we'll sort it out by the end of

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: the show.

78
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to Week eleven. Now listen if you downloaded the

79
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: show on Sunday, I was very tired and I misfired

80
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: on the title, so some of all y'all out there downloaded.

81
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: I thought you were getting a Week eleven recap show,

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: which was mistakenly labeled as such. It was Week ten.

83
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Perhaps you saw a glimpse into the future. We're going

84
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: to try and give you a glimpse into that future today.

85
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: We've got an interesting slate of games here. It's not

86
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: as high profile as the one we saw in Week ten.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't think it's as high profile as some of

88
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: the weeks that we're going to see moving forward, but nonetheless,

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna sort some stuff out. We've got

90
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Michigan State. We've got Bedlum between Oklahoma State

91
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: and of course Oklahoma. There's an Auburn Georgia game, which

92
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: is intriguing, and Clemson at Boston College, which has a

93
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: really high point spread, but it's obviously the number two

94
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: rated team in the country on the road at night

95
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: in chesnunt Hill. So we're going to sort through all

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: that stuff. It's college football, so it can't be all

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: that bad. Shall we start though? Where we've been starting now?

98
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: I guess for two weeks running with the news of

99
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: the day.

100
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: Sure, I was just before we get there, hoping that

101
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: you posting a week eleven recap after week ten would

102
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: be like our Biff ten in sports Almanac, Comes Almanac,

103
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Sports Almanac where people download in the like, oh my god,

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna know, I'm gonna know everything.

105
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: The subscription's worth a lot more than free.

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: Believe you mean, yeah, you want to get into some news,

107
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: let's do it, Daniel. We have seaking no no, oh no, yeah,

108
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: but you did you take a nap?

109
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: I took a nap. I was off today.

110
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: Okaye? Where should we begin?

111
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: We've got shirts out, don't we?

112
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: We do have shirts out?

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: We do.

114
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 2: We released four brand new shirts and re released a

115
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: past favorite. So we re released our let Down look

116
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: Ahead Sandwich shirt, which I could not be a bigger

117
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: fan of how that turned out, the job Cotton Bureau

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: did with everything with that shirt. So that's back on

119
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 2: the market. And now we are entering the local market.

120
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: Tie with a shirt celebrating Eugene organ South Bend, Indiana,

121
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 2: not Notre Dame, Indiana, which I believe actually exists, right, Yes,

122
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 2: that's correct. And then East Pennsylvania and the Lehigh.

123
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Valley Bethlehem Greater area, so yeah.

124
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: We honor these locales and obviously where some schools are.

125
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: So I think they came out really nicely. The design

126
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: is generally a if you can imagine a varsity jackets

127
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: patch that would be on the shoulder or something like that,

128
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: or the back I guess, with the varsity jacket itself

129
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 2: inside the patch, So a little inverted meta type design.

130
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: But I think it came out really good. This is

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: probably about like ten months in the works, so I'm

132
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: happy they're finally out. And to answer all of your question, yes,

133
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: there will be more if it's Baton Rouge or ann

134
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: Arbor or Berkeley, wherever we are in the process. By

135
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: the time you listen to the show, there will be

136
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: a survey on solid verbal dot com slash survey gauging

137
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: where you'd like future solid verbal shirts to celebrate.

138
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: That's correct?

139
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 2: That is that information all good? And where can they

140
00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: find the shirts?

141
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: The shirts are available as always at solid verbal dot

142
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: com slash store that'll take you over to our storefront. Now,

143
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: many of you have already signed up via our friends

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: over at cotton Bureau for updates, so some of you

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: may be listening to this and say, aha ahi, I

146
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: knew about this even before you formally announced it. Good

147
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: on you if you fall into that category. Also, we

148
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: will be sending out by week's end something on our

149
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: newsletter yes to introduce these shirts to the wild and

150
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: give everyone a chance to purchase them before they expire.

151
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: That's what's different about the shirts that we're doing through

152
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: our friends over at cotton Bureau. Again, a great website,

153
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: but you've got two weeks now. The clock is running

154
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: as of today, as of three pm today, we're recording

155
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: this on a Wednesday, so you got two weeks. Jump

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: on in, buy the shirts. If they're popular enough and

157
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: you don't get in on the first round, my guess

158
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: is that there will be future rounds, but for the

159
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: time being, get them while they're hot, before they expire,

160
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: because there are no guarantees moving forward.

161
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: And I know we are popular with the huskier set tie,

162
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: so you can get it up to five xl boom.

163
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: So if you are you know a little a little,

164
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: what are we looking for if you're a brick house tie, Yeah, buddy,

165
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: we got you covered.

166
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,559
Speaker 1: We got you covered. So check it on out. Dandy

167
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: did a good job with these, you know, I got

168
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: I got two left hands when it comes to anything

169
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: graphic design. But uh, he did a good job. I

170
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: personally will be donning the cheer cheer South Bend.

171
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.

172
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: Addition that we've put forth in the indigo is it

173
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: an indigo color? I see it is an indigo that

174
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: is hot fire. I love that shirt.

175
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: Oh we're so young?

176
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: All right? What else do we got? Oh, we've got

177
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: new playoff rankings, new playoff ranks. I I don't think

178
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: any great surprise here. Your top four has obviously shifted

179
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: now by virtue of the twenty nine to nil loss

180
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: a week ago by LSU two Alabama. Your new top

181
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: four is Alabama and Clemson. No change there, notre name

182
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: slides up a notch, and now Michigan has rightfully moved

183
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: into the top four. They're followed I believe by Georgia

184
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 1: at number five. So that's your new top five and

185
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: the College Football Playoff in any thoughts on that matter.

186
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: Not particularly, And then in a strong way, I guess

187
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: UCF stays at twelve, unmoved. Kentucky falls but not below

188
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: the Knights there, and certainly UCF with a schedule perhaps

189
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: not comparable to some of the teams around them, but

190
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: still i'd say a little disappointing. Albeit, this is not

191
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: a ranking to really find the best teams. It's a

192
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 2: ranking to protect what is considered to be the grouping

193
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: of best Power five teams. I'm a little curious about

194
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: LSU at seven. I don't know if you saw the

195
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: tweet that I sent out earlier today.

196
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: I did not.

197
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: It was meant to be a little bit tongue cheek,

198
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 2: but at the same time I kind of feel serious

199
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: about it. The tweet was basically, if you get shut

200
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: out by double digits, so not losing three nothing, not

201
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: losing seven, nothing, but in the way that LSU lost,

202
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 2: And I believe Rob Mullen said something about LSU still

203
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: passing the eye test, which woo hmm. Okay, if you

204
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: get shut out by double digits or triple digits, mind you,

205
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: who knows you are automatically disqualified from the College Football

206
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: Playoff if you are that devoid of competition in a

207
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: game against it. Let's say a team from your conference,

208
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: or even a Power five team. If you yourself are

209
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 2: a Power five team, would you be okay with completely

210
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: disqualifying LSU after throwing up a goose egg against Arrival

211
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: as a college football playoff competitor.

212
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: I'd be fine with it. What I would say is

213
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: LSU has something in common with Ohio State, not in

214
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: that Ohio State was shut out against Purdue, but both

215
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: teams lost by twenty nine.

216
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: I want nothing to do with LSU as a college

217
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 2: football playoff team because they had the chance to at

218
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: least make a dent into a team we feel like

219
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 2: is a surefire playoff team, and there is something significant

220
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: to me and absolute about a goose egg. Whereas Ohio

221
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: State goes on the road, Purdue has a good offense

222
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: when David blau is starting, and they got beat down,

223
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 2: but Ohio State still exhibited traits of a competitive team

224
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: at times in that game. LSU did not no to

225
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 2: me that zero is and this is sort of an

226
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: homage to I mentioned this as well. Our pal Roger

227
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 2: Sherman said any team that is no hit can't make

228
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs in baseball, which I love, but I would add,

229
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: if you are no hit, in baseball, the only way

230
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: you get into the playoffs is if you no hit somebody.

231
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Else, but you lose by twenty nine against anybody. I

232
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,199
Speaker 1: think that's almost as qualifying. If you're gonna lose, it's

233
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: got to be close, and it should be early. It

234
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: should be kind of what happened to Michigan in that

235
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 1: first week of the year against Notre Dame. It's more

236
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: blueprint for a loss if it's going to happen to you.

237
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: But twenty nine points the loser against anybody is not

238
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: the template.

239
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 2: Think about what you just said, twenty nine to nothing.

240
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 2: What does that word mean to you?

241
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: Okay?

242
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Nothing?

243
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: Really have a visceral reaction to that, goose egg.

244
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: I do, I do, indeed, But that's okay around the rankings.

245
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Otherwise it just and we were texting about this, I

246
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: think last Saturday night while I was walking to pick

247
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: up some pizzas. When you look at this top fifteen,

248
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 2: top twelve right now, how many of these teams, which

249
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: have played what about nine games each, yep, how many

250
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: of them have legitimately interesting or not interesting but impressive wins.

251
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: You know, it's a good question. It's a good question.

252
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: I think it might be a bad season. College football

253
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: itself is good, but it might be just a bad

254
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: season for good teams.

255
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: Well, you had Notre Dame over Michigan. You had LSU

256
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 1: over Georgia. Yes, you had what Florida over LSU. LSU

257
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: seems to be a common denominator, though I guess Florida

258
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: is not really a top. Alabama over LSU, Alabama over LSU,

259
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: Texas over Oklahoma. You're gonna hear the argument now more

260
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: than ever because of these playoff rankings, And believe it

261
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: or not, we heard it about Alabama after the first

262
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: week of the college football playoff rankings, like well they

263
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: who did they really beat?

264
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Right?

265
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: Who did anybody really beat? Is more of the correct question.

266
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: It has been a weird year of college football. You

267
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: could ask who have some of the better teams beaten?

268
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: You could ask who is really good? We asked that

269
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: question a week ago. Where do we kind of separate

270
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: the week from the chaff? You could ask the question

271
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: how many teams legitimately have a good offense and defense

272
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: in college football? You might go like eight deep. Before

273
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: you're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

274
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: It might be less.

275
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 3: Now, sure who's in your high Here's another one, a

276
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 3: question no one's talking about because it's an odd year.

277
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Ye, who's your heisman? Top five? You can give me

278
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: three very easily. Give me your top five, Dan, it's

279
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: a very difficult. I don't care about the heisman generally.

280
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't either, but you know it's a topic. Sure,

281
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: give me right now, give me your five names.

282
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: It's Kyler and Tuah and I think there's a pretty

283
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 2: sizable gap, you know. I think Dwayne Haskins is hanging

284
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: around there. I would start to put Gardner Minshew in

285
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: that conversation.

286
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: Uh, Travis etn has to be in the conversation. We'll

287
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: talk about him.

288
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: I mean Quinn Williams after what he did against LSU,

289
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: I think you know I was. I was ready to

290
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: start getting on that Laviska Chanal train. But he's missed

291
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: the last three games. Yep. He was as as important

292
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 2: an offensive skill player as there is in the country.

293
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: Anyway. I don't want to derail what we have to

294
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: do in previewing a bunch of games here today. But

295
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: the point is that it is. It is a strangely down, weird,

296
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: odd year of college football where a lot of the

297
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: normal questions. A lot of the normal talking points don't

298
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: really apply or are tougher to apply given the landscape.

299
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Very strange. Anyway, Again, as you said, we do have

300
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: a new top five in the Casturable playoff rankings. We

301
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: will continue to monitor that. The only other talking point

302
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: and maybe we could talk about this a little bit

303
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: more later, but David Beatty has officially been fired from Kansas.

304
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: He has agreed to finish out the season. No giant

305
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: surprise on that front, but it was made official shortly

306
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: after we hit the stop button. I believe. On Sunday's show, Yes.

307
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: And You, did you see who Bruce Feldman wrote was

308
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: at least a contender a meeting name I did not

309
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: Les Miles Ooh. I saw Dan Enos, the Alabama quarterback coach,

310
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 2: associate head coach, former head coach at Central Michigan, was

311
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: being named in a yet another like Alabama, basically as

312
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 2: professional development for coaches. You know, you screw up, you

313
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: go to Alabama, you learn the Alabama way, you go

314
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: and become my head coach. Then disappointing, So he is

315
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: being mentioned the less Miles thing. I don't think there's

316
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 2: much of a connection between him and between he and

317
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: Jeff Long the new Kansas ad. But I would imagine

318
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: Less could get Kansas to borderline bolishness. But if Kansas

319
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 2: is serious about building up its football program, I don't

320
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: I still don't actually hate a Less miles higher. I

321
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: think he can provide a foundation of talent and infrastructure.

322
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 2: But if Kansas sees itself competing for eight nine wins

323
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: this season long term, it's hard to go with somebody

324
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: retreads a mean word, but somebody who doesn't necessarily want

325
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: to be coaching at that level.

326
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: On that note, shall we get to some of the

327
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: high level collegeiople action for Week eleven.

328
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: Let's do it.

329
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Any of the week. So I don't really remember if

330
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: I did or did not do this, but okay, I

331
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: think I did last week. I have a little bit

332
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: of short term memory loss here, but I'm trying to

333
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: figure out what is our window of opportunity for this week?

334
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: The window of opportunity.

335
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I would be totally cool if

336
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: you just decided last week was a little crazy, mm hmm,

337
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: a little crazy, couldn't go out, couldn't see cats for

338
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: a third time. If you decided that you wanted to

339
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: do it, this week. There are a lot of marquee games.

340
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: I have marquee here in air quotes with really high

341
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 1: point spreads. So at least Vegas is saying to you,

342
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: if you need to take a week off, if you

343
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: need to build that capital back up, week eleven might

344
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 1: be a good week to do it. We obviously will

345
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 1: not be doing it because we are degenerates. But if

346
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: you're still looking for the sweet spot of college football

347
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: when you can go out but still come back, I'm

348
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: intrigued by two windows here. I'm intrigued by Ohio State

349
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: at Michigan State because the line confuses the hell out

350
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: of me. We're going to talk about it next. That's

351
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: an early game, and I'm intrigued by some of the

352
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 1: late games. You've got Auburn Georgia. You've also got Clemson

353
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: at Boston College. You've also got Notre Dame and Florida

354
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: State in a late one in South Bend, Texas at

355
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: Texas Tech should be a fun one on Fox. You

356
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 1: got options late, more options late than you do early.

357
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: So I guess if you're really trying to cast a

358
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: wide net and just get a good game or two,

359
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: try to be back for that later slate of games.

360
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Even if you have to go out earlier.

361
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: I would recommend taking a luxurious brunch.

362
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: Okay, I could do.

363
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: If you have to win social points with somebody, I

364
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: would say take that luxurious brunch. Sangria Saturday. Tie.

365
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: That's not bad.

366
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: Sangria Saturday. Sangria is not complicated. It's got little bits

367
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 2: of flavor with the chopped up fruits. I like it.

368
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: I like it.

369
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 2: You still let college football wash over you. I like

370
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: a case of wine.

371
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: It's no sassafrash, but it makes a little bit more

372
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: sense here for week eleven.

373
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: Does does Solid Wife Kate enjoy Sangria?

374
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: Probably don't. We haven't. Yeah, I mean we like a

375
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: good drink.

376
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: Solid Wife Jody loves a good cold glass of Sangria.

377
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Sangria Saturday.

378
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

379
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 3: Sengria Saturday, twelve pm on Fox Ohio State at Michigan State.

380
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: The line is three and one half US American points,

381
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: which seems very low to me.

382
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: It's actually come down. I saw it a four a

383
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Now I guess I get it.

384
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: The loss in the road to Perdue, we talked about

385
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,719
Speaker 1: that earlier in the show. By twenty nine points a

386
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: big black eye. Ohio State still down at tenth in

387
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 1: the playoff rankings. Yep, the path is complicated for them,

388
00:19:55,240 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: right The defense is i'd say above average, above average,

389
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: a lot of talent, but above average. Right now, they've

390
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: certainly left a lot to be desired.

391
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 3: But here's my thing, Like what four weeks ago, maybe

392
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 3: four weeks ago, they were a.

393
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,719
Speaker 1: Machine on offense and destined for the playoffs. So this

394
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: has all come at us very quickly as college football fans,

395
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: and I just wonder whether that perception that Ohio State

396
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 1: has regressed is actually the college football reality that we

397
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: find ourselves in. Is it true that they've regressed or

398
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: is that more just a mirage Dan?

399
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: Right now, I think those are all fair points, fair questions.

400
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: Something I come back to with either playing Ohio State,

401
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 2: playing Alabama, playing Clemson, where you are perhaps built to

402
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 2: succeed against them at times in phases. Michigan State stops

403
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: the run almost as good as anybody in the country,

404
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: but against Ohio State, you need buckets, you need bucket getters,

405
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 2: and Michigan State's clear probably best offensive skill player, Felton

406
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 2: Davis is out for the year. I believe he tore

407
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 2: his Achilles and to beat Ohio State, you need to

408
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: get to what twenty eight to twenty nine points probably

409
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: no matter who short of Alabama, Clemson, and I just

410
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: it's very difficult for me to see this Michigan State team,

411
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 2: even with that defense, getting those those moments, those big plays,

412
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 2: and that's what Ohio State will give up. We saw

413
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 2: last week giving up yardage and big chunks to to Nebraska.

414
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 2: Nebraska has bucket getters, young, inexperienced, I mean Divine zigbo

415
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: is older, but they do have those guys in Michigan

416
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 2: State right now. To me could hold down Ohio State

417
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: for a good amount of this game, but they don't

418
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: get those buckets. I have this as Ohio State twenty

419
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 2: three to thirteen, and a nice day for Ohio State's defense,

420
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 2: as maligned as it's been. Michigan State might be the

421
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: cure for the common defense, and Michigan State has succeeded

422
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 2: offensively on the road. This is back to a Brian

423
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 2: Laworki team. It's not a Rocky Lombardi team. And I

424
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 2: still think he's probably feeling the effects. I think you

425
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 2: heard his throwing shoulder a few weeks ago. I just

426
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't buy Michigan State getting to twenty eight. I

427
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: just don't.

428
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I must admit the calculus is different

429
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: when you just blindly accept or choose to accept that

430
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: Ohio State doesn't have a shutdown defense. That's not something

431
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm used to for sure. And also last year this

432
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: one was a bloodbath. This game generally it's pretty close,

433
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: so perhaps there's a little bit of a revenge factor

434
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: here for Michigan State. But I'm with you. I don't

435
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: believe for a second that Ohio State is only three

436
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: points three and a half points better than Michigan State.

437
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: This is a good football team. It might take them

438
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: a while to pull away here, which is my only

439
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: real caveat. But I'm with you. I don't think Michigan

440
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: State's got the offense to score with Ohio State, and

441
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the defense to hold Ohio

442
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: State under twenty four. So I'm gonna say Ohio State

443
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: date thirty one, Michigan State twenty And you know, I'm

444
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: I have the nap. I'm feeling saucy. It's going to

445
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: be sangree as Saturday, so what the hell?

446
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: WOA the week?

447
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: I am spooked by the low line here, but I

448
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: feel very confident in Ohio State and Michigan State.

449
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: I should point out Connor Hayward has been a nice

450
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: I don't know, surprise, but he has been good lately

451
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 2: on the ground for a team that hasn't been able

452
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: to run the ball lately. You know who his dad is,

453
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: Ironhead Hayward. I believe the late but still good Jeans side.

454
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: We're moving on three thirty CBS.

455
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: So Mississippi State at Alabama, Bama a twenty four point favorite.

456
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: Dan Wow, Okay, if Mississippi State could throw the ball,

457
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: I'd be so much more confident taking the points one

458
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: week after the game of the Century of week ten.

459
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm I'm on the fence here because normally

460
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: I would say there's a letdown effect, which is somewhat

461
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: canceled out by the fact that it's Alabama and they

462
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: never let up on anybody.

463
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: Let alone let down. Yeah.

464
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Right, It's just this is such an astronomical point spread

465
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: against a really good team with one of the better defenses,

466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: if not a top ten defense in the country. I

467
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: am having trouble working my way through this one.

468
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 2: Mississippi State may have and I believe This was how

469
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 2: it worked out mathematically. The worst points per drive offense

470
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: in SEC play. They are just and especially on the

471
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 2: road they've been Listen, it's been a while since that

472
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: Kentucky game. I just I still remember.

473
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: I know, well, look, and that's my thing. I can't

474
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: get past what was it sixteen total points against Kentucky,

475
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: Florida and LSU combined. Mississippi State with this vaunted Joe

476
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: moorehead offense and all that veteran leadership on offense right

477
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: scored sixteen total points against those three teams. It makes

478
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: it very difficult for me to believe that any letdown

479
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: effect would have any real effect in this game.

480
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 2: I'm with you. I think I'm going to take Mississippi

481
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 2: State to cover because of not a letdown, but because

482
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: it's just another good defense, you know, two games in

483
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: a row for Alabama to play to face LSU's defense

484
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 2: and the Mississippi State's defense, which is exceptional, you know,

485
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 2: and we really wish we could trade Mississippi State's you know,

486
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 2: defense to whoever Texas Tech or something. But I do

487
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 2: believe that if they can get to twelve thirteen points,

488
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:35,720
Speaker 2: they can cover this spread. So I have it like

489
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: thirty five thirteen. I think they will bust something loose

490
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: on the ground, either with Nick fitzgerald or somebody else,

491
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: and generate another scoring driver to kicking whatever that they

492
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: can get to twelve or thirteen points. And I think

493
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: they keep Alabama under forty. So my math has them

494
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 2: barely covering.

495
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: This is like, this is like election day math. Here

496
00:25:59,040 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: is what we're doing.

497
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 2: I got a screen behind me.

498
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're trying to like zooming in on counties, trying

499
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 1: to get to within the number.

500
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, CLACKHAMUS County is coming in strong for Nis mc fitzgerald.

501
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: Thirty eight thirteen. The tide wins this one. I'm going

502
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: Bama til further notice. They gave me no reason against

503
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: LSU to doubt what they can do against a good defense.

504
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Alabama thirty eight thirteen.

505
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: I'm taking State thirty five to thirteen, barely covering.

506
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: Wait is that great? Moving on another big three thirty

507
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: game ABC Oklahoma State at Oklahoma. They call it Bedlam.

508
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: The points bread though, is twenty two zero a rather

509
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,719
Speaker 1: large number, and that's up. That is up. You know

510
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: what we say? Can you please remind the kind folks

511
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: what we do in a game such as this.

512
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: Throw them the hell out those records.

513
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: My instant reaction here when I saw the line was

514
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: to take the points, and that was when it was lower.

515
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 1: That was when it was lower. I saw it at seventeen.

516
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: It's up to twenty. In a rivalry game. Let's face it,

517
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: this one could devolve into a shootout. You know my rule,

518
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: I take the points in the shootout. I generally like

519
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: to take points in a rivalry, so I got two

520
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: factors working for the points here, Dan. I also think

521
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma wins the game because their offense is just incredible statistically,

522
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: like the best in the country. I think Oklahoma wins.

523
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm really just struggling given that it's two zero twenty

524
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 1: as a point spread right now, that's a lot in

525
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: a rivalry.

526
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: It's a tasty number.

527
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 3: Ti.

528
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to tell you you're wrong, but here

529
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: is what troubles me. Oklahoma State on the road. Not

530
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: so good, Okay, Oklahoma State against the run where Oklahoma

531
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 2: is suddenly shining, which is extremely dangerous given what they

532
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 2: look like through the air. Not so good. Second straight

533
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 2: game on the road for Oklahoma State after losing to Baylor.

534
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: Perhaps look ahead spot to bed them for sure, not

535
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,919
Speaker 2: so good anytime. I can foresee a fun game for

536
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma's running backs. And yes, they went off last week

537
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 2: and it was close against Texas Tech, for sure, but

538
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 2: that was on the road. I think Oklahoma is a

539
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: different team in Norman. I'm going to have Oklahoma, and

540
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: I don't love their defense. If their defense is what

541
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: it was last week in the first half, what it

542
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: was in the second half against Texas, this will be

543
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: a shootout and taking the points will be wise. But

544
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: I think Oklahoma can control this game, and I'm going

545
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 2: to go Sooners by twenty one, so barely covering. It

546
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 2: opened at seventeen and a half, I had twenty one

547
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: and went up to twenty. I still feel confident I

548
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: have at forty five twenty four.

549
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: The one thing that scares me about taking the points here.

550
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: Oklahoma is in a position, I believe, number six in

551
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: the playoff rankings where style points really start to matter.

552
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, they do, big time.

553
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: They're number six in the playoff rankings. They want a

554
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: close one against Texas Tech. While both Michigan and Georgia

555
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: won very convincingly over ranked opponents. If at all possible,

556
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: Oklahoma's gonna run it up. If they can score eighty

557
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: against Mike Gundy, They're gonna do it. That is my

558
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: concern about taking points here. But I think it's a shootout.

559
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: I think it's the old adage you take the points

560
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: in the shootout in a rivalry. I'm gonna say Oklahoma

561
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: forty eight thirty five. I don't love their defense. Oklahoma

562
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: State can score, but they can't win forty eight thirty five.

563
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: And Oklahoma State might just be like God, I feel

564
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 2: bad saying this, but they might be like a homeless

565
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 2: man's Texas or a discount store Texas, where they do

566
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 2: play up and they play down. We saw them struggle

567
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 2: last week against Baylor, but came to play against Boise State,

568
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 2: came to play against Texas, though both of those games

569
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 2: were in Stillwater. That that sort of has me worried.

570
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: The second straight road game is not anything I love.

571
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna disagree, and I think the committee will

572
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,479
Speaker 2: give points for points and Oklahoma runs away with it.

573
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: Seven pm on ESPN, Auburn at Georgia. The Dogs favored

574
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: by one four fourteen points. So what say you about

575
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: Auburn right now? Dan? How do you feel about the

576
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: Auburn Tigers.

577
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: I feel all right, I like their defense a lot,

578
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 2: but I got to pair it with something ty Yeah,

579
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: I need, you know, I need. I need a nice

580
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: glass of consistent offense or you know, special teams sneaking

581
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 2: in points often, and I'm not seeing that from Auburn.

582
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: I know that the running game has improved. Booby Whitlow is,

583
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: you know, he played, but he's still beat up. I know,

584
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 2: I think the right tackles beat up to he should play.

585
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: But the fact that they with Gus Malson have not

586
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 2: been able to generate and Jarrett Stidham, by all accounts

587
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: still a very talented quarterback, led that comeback against A

588
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: and M. I am not counting on them, even with

589
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 2: the win against Georgia last year during the regular season,

590
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: got it handed to them in the SEC championship game,

591
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 2: unfortunately for the Tigers. I sort of see something like

592
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 2: that where it does have a little bit of crock

593
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: potting written on it. I think Auburn might get a

594
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: backdoor cover here. I think that defense is probably too

595
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: good to lose by that much more than fourteen or fifteen.

596
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: But I think Georgia still comfortably wins this game, and

597
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 2: maybe the score is a little bit closer than it

598
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 2: actually was. So I'm going to have this one at

599
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,719
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty Georgia. But it's never really in

600
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 2: doubt in the fourth quarter.

601
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're taking the points, I'm taking Auburn.

602
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take those points.

603
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Auburn to me has been college football's version of

604
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: one of those old magic eyebooks from the nineties. You

605
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: remember those things. Of course I was terrible at him, really,

606
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: oh yeah, real bad. I was maybe the best in

607
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: the world you would find the sunken treasure. Have I

608
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: ever told you my story about a magic eye pattern

609
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: and applying for a job at the NSSA. You have

610
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: ever told this story?

611
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: No, I don't, not that I remember.

612
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I was at one of those job fairs in my

613
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: senior year and walked around I think it was at

614
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State, and there was

615
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: a booth for the NSA, which, of course was interesting

616
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,959
Speaker 1: because it's a freaking NSA. You know, they did cool stuff.

617
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: And at the time, there was a guy given kind

618
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: of like a group presentation to maybe four or five

619
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: other students talking about really intense things really intense things

620
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: about which I generally had no idea. But after his presentation,

621
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: he went around and he said, you know, thank you

622
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: for your time. I'd like to talk to each of

623
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: you individually and get a question from each of you.

624
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: And so while the others were asking about things like

625
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: cryptography and other national security issues, I had no question.

626
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: I was just there because I was interested. I was

627
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: asking him if the pattern behind him, which was one

628
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: of these magic eyes, if it was showing a saddle

629
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: light going around a planet, because I could see I

630
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: was very good at these things. And I kid you not.

631
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: All of the blood drained from his face when I

632
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: asked him the question, and he said, yes it is.

633
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 1: I'm going to need your name an email, and I

634
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: was terrified. Oh, no, kid you not, kid you not.

635
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: Three months later, I get a very very cryptic email

636
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: from NSA dot Gov saying that they had received my resume.

637
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: So clearly I struck the right chord, right, And that's

638
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: what the story ends. I can't tell you anymore, but

639
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: is that true?

640
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: That's one hundred percent trou Is there more to the

641
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 2: story that you are not going to say?

642
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: There is no more to the story. I never heard

643
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: from the NSA. I'm sure I'm on a list now.

644
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: But apparently the correct question to ask them was whether

645
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: or not the pattern behind was satellite going around a planet.

646
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 2: So you never actually applied for a job.

647
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: They asked for my name, my email, and a resume.

648
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what out your resume was there? Okay,

649
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: I never knew what I was applying for.

650
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: Interesting, and now you're completely unwilling to disclose what you

651
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: do for a living publicly mysterious. De's weird. Interesting Okay, No,

652
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 2: I mean, just listen, I'm just asking questions.

653
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: The larger point, though, the bigger point is that it

654
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: has been a journey to try and see what's hiding

655
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: in that Auburn pattern all year, because at first there

656
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: was the big win over Washington. Then that was a

657
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: close loss against LSU, which is still a good loss,

658
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 1: mind you, But then the offense was shut down against

659
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 1: Mississippi State, we had the death blow at home against Tennessee.

660
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 2: What was that look sloppy against Ole miss for sure

661
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 2: or extence Arkansas.

662
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: And now like every Auburn season, we're kind of seeing

663
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 1: a three D picture of Gus Malzon in the hot seat.

664
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: It all ends up at the same place, I am

665
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: convinced Gus is never actually going to get fired. He

666
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: always seems to do just enough to make people believe

667
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 1: in him. Always kind of defies logic. Mm hmm. That

668
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: being said, I think in ply Auburn finds a way

669
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: to keep this one close, maybe to your point of

670
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 1: the game, never really being in doubt, but still somehow

671
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: they cover fourteen points. Maybe a little bit of a

672
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: letdown for Georgia because it's been a down year for Auburn.

673
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: They had essentially the SEC East title game a week ago.

674
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: Auburn's got a pretty good defense still that can stop

675
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 1: the run in the past. So Georgia wins. I think

676
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: it's close. I'm gonna say bubba ba twenty four to twenty.

677
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 2: We really haven't been talking about this game though mention

678
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: Georgia specifically true. I am still not crazy about this

679
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: Georgia offense. There are a lot of players I like

680
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 2: on this team, including Jake fromm I like the duo

681
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 2: of Elijah Holyfield and DeAndre Swift. I like McCole Hartman

682
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 2: as sort of an all purpose guy in special teams

683
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 2: and out wide. I don't love the construction of play

684
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: calling and creativity with this Georgia offense and against a

685
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: really good defense that has me a little bit perturb

686
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: a little bit worried. And the Georgia defense isn't where

687
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 2: it was, although it can still be very good. They

688
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 2: may have one of the tougher secondaries in the country.

689
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: DeAndre Baker has been ridiculous. I don't think offers the

690
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 2: team to take advantage of it. But in terms of

691
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: offensive creativity, I am kind of down on this Georgia

692
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 2: offense right now.

693
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,520
Speaker 1: Interesting yeah, interesting, Okay.

694
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 2: It's they've been winning, but it's it's a worrisome pattern

695
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: for me.

696
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 1: A pattern, right, Yes, you just got to divert your eyes,

697
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: divert your eyes a little bit and then refocus on

698
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: the pattern and it comes. It comes very clearly.

699
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 2: Yes.

700
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: Moving on eight pm ABC, Clemson at Boston College. Intriguing matchup.

701
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: Clemson favored by twenty. That's a lot of points. It

702
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: is a lot of points. Aj Dillon is is I

703
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 1: think the name to watch. He is the star running

704
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: back for Boston College. If you've listened to the show,

705
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: we've talked about big Load mister Dylan for a long

706
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: time now. He is officially a game time decision after

707
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: retweaking his ankle a week ago. He's a big dude.

708
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,280
Speaker 1: He averages about five and a half per carry, and realistically,

709
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: if Boston College wants any shot to win or I

710
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: think cover, he has to play in this game. Don't

711
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: you agree?

712
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 2: I do agree. And what worries me is that he

713
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 2: is the strength of this Boston College offense and when

714
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: he's not going, this can be an offense that goes

715
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 2: into a shell for a while. And as we've seen

716
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 2: this year, the teams that have been competitive against Clemson,

717
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: which is tough to use that in a plural because

718
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:56,240
Speaker 2: Syracuse had an injury at quarterback as an advantage for Clemson.

719
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: And I know that was worded in a very clumsy way,

720
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 2: but when Trevor Lawrence went out that the dynamic of

721
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: that game changed considerably, and Texas A and M did

722
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 2: actually a very good job hosting Clemson and challenging them

723
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 2: downfield consistently and generating chunk plays. I just I see

724
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 2: this Boston College offense and I just don't think this

725
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 2: is it. I don't think this is the team. You

726
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: go back a couple of years ago, that pit team

727
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: in retrospect, excellent offensive line, James Connor, Nate Peterman, which

728
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: is a very strange thing to say in retrospect given

729
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: Nate Peterman's last couple of years. But this was a

730
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 2: team that was able to stretch Clemson out despite obvious

731
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 2: talent discrepancies or talent disadvantages for Pitt and I don't

732
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: see Boston College constructed in that way. So even if

733
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 2: it's close early because of an electric atmosphere, you know,

734
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 2: a huge game coming to Boston College for the first

735
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 2: time in a long time, or like a Saturday night

736
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 2: primetime type game, I think Clemson ultimately runs away with

737
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 2: this game. They're just too much and they're too deep.

738
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 2: I think they run it on Boston College, who hasn't

739
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 2: been great versus the run, so I agree. I have

740
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: it as forty four to seventeen. I think the Tigers cover.

741
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: I think Boston College can be competitive on defense insofar

742
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 1: as they can pressure Trevor Lawrence and make the passing

743
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: game difficult. But it does not account for Travis Etn

744
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: who I mentioned him earlier. He's averaging almost nine yards

745
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: of carry. He is having a Heisman caliber season. He

746
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 1: at least needs to be in that discussion. That's going

747
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: to be a problem for Boston College. The other problem

748
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: I have with Boston College is, look, I know I

749
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: preach at the mantle of teams not being defined by

750
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: their schedules, or shouldn't be defined by their schedules, but

751
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: I need something on the resume that gives me warm

752
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: fuzzies about Boston College if I think they're going to

753
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: go toe to toe with Clemson, especially with the way

754
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Clemson's been playing lately. I mean, they've been tearing off

755
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: arms and legs since the beginning of October, and I

756
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: don't have that kind of reassurance looking at what Boston

757
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: College has done so far this seaon. And so I

758
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: think I'm with you. I think Clemson destroys Boston College

759
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 1: by like thirty give me forty five to fourteen Clemson

760
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: big one on.

761
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: So we are and then you know what Clemson also,

762
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: it's not even just Travis etn it's out of choice,

763
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 2: it's oh right, feast, It's just it comes in waves

764
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 2: and all of the sudden t Higgins is running four

765
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 2: yards beyond somebody on play action, and I just think

766
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 2: the waves of Clemson will be upond BC.

767
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: Dan, did you know that Indo Chino is North America's

768
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: leading made to measure men's wear company.

769
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,839
Speaker 2: I didn't, but I know now, and it makes sense.

770
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 1: How about all of these fine things that people have

771
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: written into us about Indo Chino, whether they're getting a

772
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: custom fit shirt, whether they're getting a suit for themselves,

773
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: for their grooms men. It's a made to measure men's

774
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: wear company. They make suits and shirts to your exact

775
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: measurements for an unparalleled fit, unparalleled comfort. Visit a showroom,

776
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: have a stylist, take your measurements personally, or you can

777
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: measure at home and then just shop online at indochino

778
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: dot com. That's I N d o Chi and O

Speaker 2: Award show? Am I saying that you are going to

801
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: look like Idris Elba, who I believe is people's sexiest

802

Speaker 2: man on earth by putting on an Indo Chino suit.

803

Speaker 2: Indochino is not promising this. No, your friend Dan is there.

804
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,040
Speaker 2: It is like Idris Elba.

805
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: We got a bunch of games. We're gonna rifle through them,

806
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: some quick ones, all right, all right, twelve pm, ABC,

807
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: Wisconsin at Penn State. Two teams seemingly going the wrong way, Wisconsin,

808
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: maybe without Alex Hornybrook. He left that Rutgers game. With

809
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: a headache.

810
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: I hope he's not playing.

811
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's listed as questionable for this one. If

812
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, obviously a much different story. It looks

813
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: like the line is taking that into account. The other

814
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 1: thing that I'd add here is that Trace McSorley is

815
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: a little banged up. So the whole thing offensively in

816
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 1: this game's a bit of a mess. The points bread though,

817
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 1: is nine in favor of Penn State. Who you got.

818
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: Should mention tie because you were at one point an

819
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 2: aspiring meteorologist. Right, it's going to be cold, very cold College.

820
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 2: It's going to be I looked up the temperatures. I

821
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 2: think I researched temperatures more than I researched games this week.

822
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 2: It's going to be super cold in Iowa. It's going

823
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 2: to be super cold in South Bend. I think it's

824
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 2: going to snow Friday in South Bend.

825
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: One to three inches. Little clipper coming through.

826
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's going to be thirties I believe, around

827
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: noon and stay in College State College, not that Wisconsin.

828
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 2: It's not used to those same types of temperatures, if

829
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 2: not lower. But it's going to be difficult for quarterbacks

830
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 2: who have not necessarily been succeeding, you know, receivers who

831
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,359
Speaker 2: have been dropping the ball, some throwing a stone in

832
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 2: the cold. Which of these fan bases do I which

833
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: of these fan bases do you feel like is going

834
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 2: to need some sangria to sort of drown their sorrows

835
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 2: after this game because lose this game. And that's sort

836
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: of that. In terms of upside for the season.

837
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: I feel like Penn State's already there, and they were

838
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: there a week ago, so they probably you can.

839
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: Have good feelings after, you know, even with the Michigan

840
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: State game, even with Michigan, even with Ohio State, you

841
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: beat Wisconsin, that is, it's uplifting tie.

842
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm taking the points. I don't know

843
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: the answer to that question. I'm not answer.

844
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 2: I'm taking the points as well.

845
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Penn State's the better team. Whether or not they

846
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: can actually show that is the question. And there's just

847
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: so much uncertainty hear on both sides for me to

848
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: feel confident one way or the other. So I'm just

849
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna go Wisconsin plus nine and let's talk about Virginia

850
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 1: Tech pit.

851
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 2: I will add Penn State hasn't been great against the run.

852
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: Kron Higden ran pretty well how we wanted to last week,

853
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 2: and so Penn State's in a body blow spot after

854
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 2: being flattened by Michigan. Wisconsin has just looked flat on

855
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 2: both sides of the ball at times, but they still

856
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: I think both the best player in this game and

857
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor tailback, so I think Wisconsin controls the ball

858
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: enough to keep it close. But I do if this

859
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,720
Speaker 2: is a Jack Cone game, that's the name Jack Cone, correct,

860
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 2: Jack Cone. I think I'm gonna take Penn State here

861
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: by three or.

862
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: Four, three point thirty ESPN you Virginia Tech at Pitt.

863
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: This game may decide the ACC coastal right now, we've

864
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: got Pitt a game clear of the field. This is

865
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 1: also one of those games Dan that really looks so

866
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: bad on paper that it might be a lot of

867
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: fun in reality. The points bread is three in favor

868
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: of the Panthers. They are at home. I had a

869
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: lot of difficulty picking. There is not a clear edge here.

870
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: It seems dead even to me.

871
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: I think it's a good matchup for Pitt. Virginia Tech

872
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 2: has not been all that good against the run. We

873
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 2: see this pit team as the backfield gets healthier, Whether

874
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: it's you know, Darren Hall last week going for what

875
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,520
Speaker 2: two twenty nine against Virginia on the road, and that

876
00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 2: was a soggy environment. I don't think it's gonna be

877
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 2: like that in Pittsburgh. Maybe I'm wrong. I did not

878
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: check the weather there. But whether it was Valie Carter,

879
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 2: whether it was Kadria Allison, there have been various guys

880
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: in this backfield stepping up. I think ultimately pitt does

881
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: get this done. I think it's a good matchup. So

882
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take Pitt here twenty seven to twenty.

883
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: I like that pitt can run the football. They're actually

884
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: a very good running team. It's one of the things

885
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: they've got going for them. Virginia Tech also a pretty

886
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: good passing team relative to you know, other teams in

887
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: the country. But because there isn't a clear edge in

888
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,240
Speaker 1: the game, and because it is such a razor thin margin,

889
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the home team, I'm gonna go

890
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: Pitt at home. I think we agree. Moving on three

891
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: thirty Fox Northwestern at Iowa. Now the line here is

892
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: eleven in favor of Iowa.

893
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 2: Damn.

894
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: Normally I would be all in on Northwestern. Feeling a

895
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: little bit of a letdown after that big Notre Dame

896
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 1: game at home at night a week ago. But this

897
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 1: one's got serious Big Ten West implications here, Dan for

898
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: both teams.

899
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: Really Yeah, absolutely, so I'm torn here. Yeah. So Northwestern

900
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 2: still in the driver's seat for the Big Ten West.

901
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 2: I think they've only lost once in the Big Ten,

902
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: which is so strange to say with that Akron loss.

903
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 2: But they're in the driver's seats. Iowa is I think

904
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 2: they're three and three in the Big Ten. So they've

905
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:30,240
Speaker 2: got some work to do, and I it's a letdown

906
00:47:30,239 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: spot for Northwestern on the road. I know they beat

907
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: Michigan State, but this has been an up and down

908
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: season offensively for Northwestern, who won this game last year.

909
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,919
Speaker 2: I think this was like a low scoring overtime game. Yeah,

910
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 2: Northwestern won this game by a touchdown in overtime last

911
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: year in Evanston. I think Iowa gets it together. I

912
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 2: don't think they get it together by two touchdowns, though.

913
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: I think they pull out a close one against a

914
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: Northwestern team that's too solid in too many places to

915
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: run away from. We saw it against Michigan, we saw

916
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: it against Nome last week. I'm gonna say Iowa twenty

917
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: three to twenty. They pull this out at home, but

918
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 2: do not cover I.

919
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: Well, okay, Northwestern is a half team. There is there

920
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: is no offense here. If they're gonna win, it's because

921
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: they're shutting you down on defense and they're winning that

922
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 1: field position game, which you're actually pretty good at this year.

923
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: My theory, though, is that the Cats are a different

924
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: team when they're playing against a quarterback that doesn't run.

925
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: When that threat isn't there, I think they're a better

926
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: team and they match up a little bit more favorably

927
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: on defense. Were there already pretty good? Right, low scoring game.

928
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: Don't know who wins, but it's someone by a three

929
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 1: point margin, like twenty four to twenty one. So I'm

930
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 1: going Northwestern plus the points.

931
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, Northwestern definite grower even with the loss last week.

932
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 2: You agree with the stretches they had definite grower.

933
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: Three point thirty ESPN Washington State at Colorado six points?

934
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: Is your line here in favor of the Koogs. I'm

935
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: surprised by this line, and I say that with nothing

936
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: but love in my heart for Colorado. I don't want

937
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: to be sailed on Twitter. Right, Wazoo is a top

938
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 1: ten team. Damn, why is this line under a touchdown?

939
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 2: They haven't been a great second half team, as in

940
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 2: third and fourth quarter team. This year, they barely sneak

941
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: by a count team with the worst offense perhaps in

942
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 2: the conference. And I would suspect, without obviously knowing firsthand,

943
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 2: that there is some trepidation about Washington State's credentials in

944
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 2: a conference that is lacking. We called it a prehyss

945
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 2: demolition derby. There is something. There's one I shouldn't say one.

946
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 2: There are probably two point three really good defenses and

947
00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: Wazoo has not played one of them, and that's in

948
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: Washington's defense. So even with all of the earned success

949
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 2: that Wazoo has accrued this year, I still think that

950
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 2: there's this sense of they're really good, but not great,

951
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: and great teams you know, go eleven and one, ten

952
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: and two, and so they're waiting for a shoe to drop.

953
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's Colorado, they're a different team

954
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 2: without a gravitational player in Laviska Chanault. You know, losing

955
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: to Oregon State really dumps them down to layer or

956
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 2: two for me, a run or two. I don't know

957
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: what the layer would be in like a seven layer

958
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: a twelve layer dip that is the Pac twelve. So

959
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: I get it. I just don't know where it comes

960
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: from from Colorado. They've they've gotten it in spots. You know,

961
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 2: Katie Nixon had a great game a couple of weeks ago.

962
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 2: Trevon McMillan has showed out early in the season, so

963
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: they've gotten it at spots. I just I don't. I don't.

964
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 2: It's the bucket getting tie well, you need it at

965
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 2: least twenty twenty four, and I don't see it.

966
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 1: I don't like Colorado's pass defense now, and Washington State

967
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: is a really good quarterback and they love to throw it. Yeah,

968
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: that's sometimes it's not more complicated than that. I think

969
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: Washington State wins going way here.

970
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably if they play to I mean, they're

971
00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 2: due for a letdown spot. I guess you could consider

972
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 2: it to be last week. Yeah, so yeah, I mean

973
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 2: the Cal defense is on the verge of being body

974
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,000
Speaker 2: blow esque. But I just.

975
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 1: Wazoo wins going away.

976
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have I have Las winning by ten.

977
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 1: Moving on seven point thirty on Fox Texas at Texas Tech,

978
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: this line bubbled and bobbled a little bit. We had

979
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: Tech favorite initially. Now it's Texas a two point road favorite. Uh.

980
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: I am going to assume that the status of British

981
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 1: comedy legend Alan Bowman had some influence here.

982
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

983
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: For as shaky as the Texas defense has looked against

984
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: some high powered offenses, that's how shaky Tech defense is

985
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: just in its normal state.

986
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

987
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,919
Speaker 1: I like Sam Ellinger here. I think he's the best

988
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: player in the field. I think he has a monster game.

989
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: I think the Texas Tech offense misses a few beats

990
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: without Alan Bowman. By the way, I don't know for

991
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: sure he's not playing, but I'm hoping that he doesn't

992
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: play because he recollapsed is partially collapsed lung. So I'm

993
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna go Texas here minus the points.

994
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm leading that way. I believe he I mean, the

995
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 2: last I checked, he's still in the hospital. So I

996
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: think it's fair to assume it's a Jet Duffy moment

997
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 2: for the Red Raiders, good or bad. I don't This

998
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 2: Texas Tech team was not as good last year, and

999
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: they won a wild one in Austin. I think they

1000
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 2: soaked Cliff after the win. I had a really good

1001
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: screen grab out of it. I'm pretty proud of it.

1002
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,960
Speaker 2: I hesitate with Texas going on the road. There's just

1003
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: something weird about this Texas team in a letdown spot

1004
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,959
Speaker 2: after the way that West Virginia game ended, Texas Tech

1005
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 2: showing out a little bit better at home. I think

1006
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the Jet Duffy Raiders hy I

1007
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 2: think I am. I don't like this Texas defense against

1008
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 2: a pretty challenging Red Raider group of receivers. So I

1009
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: think I think Tech wins a shoot out by four

1010
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 2: or five. How about that?

1011
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: Okay, we got what six, seven, maybe eight games here?

1012
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: I want to go through rapid Fire. Okay, all right,

1013
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: Tommy guns rapid Fire. Twelve pm. ESPN. It's the Will

1014
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: Much Champ Bowl. We got South Carolina at Florida. The

1015
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: Gatas are a six point favorite.

1016
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 2: We got I'm gonna take South Carolina. I think Florida

1017
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: the cards are crumbling a little bit. I think I'm

1018
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 2: gonna go South Carolina looking a little bit more resilient

1019
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 2: than I thought they would.

1020
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you. I really wonder wow

1021
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: how much Florida can last. Now. They had a very

1022
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: good run this season. I think they've already overachieved compared

1023
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,879
Speaker 1: to what we may have expected preseason.

1024
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but.

1025
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go points here.

1026
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: When you start quarterback juggling.

1027
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a problem.

1028
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: I don't love it. Did you see Dan Mullins respond

1029
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: somebody asked him if Felipe Franks was involved in a

1030
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 2: fight in the locker room.

1031
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and he was like, no, what wah?

1032
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 2: Who knew the Felipe? I know it was very oh not.

1033
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: Great high noon on FS one. Kansas at Kansas State, Yes,

1034
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: ten points is the line in favor of k State.

1035
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:25,439
Speaker 1: They played this one for the Governor's Cup. Kansas fired

1036
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 1: the coach he is coaching of the year. Yeah. I

1037
00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: don't know if we throw out the records in a

1038
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: rivalry game such as this, but I am going to

1039
00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: go nuts here and go Kansas plus the points in

1040
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: an inspired effort for their fallen coach.

1041
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 2: I guess I'll agree with you. I really want to

1042
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,359
Speaker 2: take Kansas. Kansas State is a nightmare. Yeah, I'm gonna

1043
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: go with Kansas to at least cover the spread in

1044
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,640
Speaker 2: this game. I do like Kansas on the ground at times.

1045
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: Three point thirty PAC twelve Network or again your ducks

1046
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:04,479
Speaker 1: at Uah Utah is a four point favorite. I think

1047
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:09,759
Speaker 1: it speaks to Oregon's offense when Utah's quarterback broke his

1048
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: collar bone and the youth are still favored here.

1049
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oregon's offense is very quietly because everybody sort of

1050
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 2: looked at them after the Washington game. Washington game as oh,

1051
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:22,280
Speaker 2: they're dominating on the ground, they're in instilling their will

1052
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 2: on the game and inflicting damn in. Organ's offense is

1053
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,360
Speaker 2: not very good. It is very stubborn, It is very deliberate,

1054
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 2: and against Utah, you still have to win the the

1055
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: battle in the trenches, where Utah is pretty strong. I

1056
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna take Utah. Oregon's been really bad on

1057
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:42,839
Speaker 2: the road. Granted it's been against Gardner Minshew and Khalil Tate.

1058
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 2: A healthier Khalil Tate, So I think his name is

1059
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: Jason Shelley, the backup quarterbacks Utah.

1060
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 1: That's right.

1061
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 2: I think Oregon loses a very winnable game in Utah

1062
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 2: is still in the midst of November, but they still

1063
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,840
Speaker 2: win game games in November, and they have lost I

1064
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 2: think two in a row to Oregon at least. They

1065
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 2: also justin Herbert when he was a freshman. They lost

1066
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: last year to Braxton Burmeister. It's not my favorite thing,

1067
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 2: but I think you put you taw wins a losible game,

1068
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,359
Speaker 2: Oregon loses a winnable game.

1069
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:23,240
Speaker 1: Maybe. Moving on seven thirty NBC, Florida State at Notre

1070
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:27,280
Speaker 1: Dame seventeen and a half points is a giant spread

1071
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,799
Speaker 1: in favor of the Irish. As you mentioned earlier, going

1072
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: to be a very, very crisp and cold night in

1073
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: South Bend. Probably gonna get a little wind up in there.

1074
00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: I think I saw fifteen miles per hour, So probably

1075
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: not the most exciting fan experience given the weather, and

1076
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: probably another thing flying in the face of Florida State.

1077
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 1: They've already had a rocky go here throughout the course

1078
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,959
Speaker 1: of twenty eighteen. I'm very curious to see the Notre

1079
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,919
Speaker 1: Dame offensive line against the Florida State defensive line, because

1080
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 1: I think that's an interesting matchup. I think I still

1081
00:57:04,320 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: think Florida State is pretty good upfront, but I am

1082
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: worried about the Florida State offensive line against a very,

1083
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 1: very active Notre Dame front. Remember this is a Notre

1084
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 1: Dame front that kind of likes creating plays behind the line.

1085
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,800
Speaker 1: Of scrimmage, really trying to take you down for a loss.

1086
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 1: Of course everyone is, but that's what they're good at.

1087
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: And as Bud Elliot, our friend from Tomahawk Nation, has

1088
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 1: said time and time again, this is a really bad

1089
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 1: Florida State offensive line. They keep shuffling guys in and

1090
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: out and it just hasn't gone that well. So I

1091
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: think because of that matchup, it favors Notre Dame in

1092
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: a very big way. Plus given the weather, they got

1093
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: a lot on their side. But still, you know, my policy,

1094
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: because I am ever the superstitious fella, I gotta go

1095
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: points here. Florida State posts the points, You're going the

1096
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: points just for superstitions, I always do it. Could there

1097
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: be an element of because Notre Dame does not have

1098
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: a conference championship game, because a number of what appeared

1099
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: to be the better teams on their schedule have been

1100
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 1: disappointing Virginia Tech, Stanford, Florida State USC that Notre Dame,

1101
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: like Oklahoma, is looking for style. There could be, yeah, sure, and.

1102
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 2: You know, if they run the table, they're in. Everybody

1103
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: I think agrees on that point. At this point, you know,

1104
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame with this schedule playing away. I think they're

1105
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 2: playing what they have two games on neutral situations. They

1106
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 2: had the San Diego game.

1107
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 1: They had the San Diego game against the game. They

1108
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: got Yankee Stadium next week against Syracuse being that I'm

1109
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,080
Speaker 1: not going to that now, okay, but then yeah, then

1110
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 1: they've got USC on the road. So this big one,

1111
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: this is their home finale.

1112
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 2: What do you where are you standing right now with

1113
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 2: Ian Book? I'm fascinated by this.

1114
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: Why are you so fascinated by this?

1115
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: Dan Is ian Book? Better than Everett Golson?

1116
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

1117
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 2: Yes, it's better than Tommy Reese. Yes, better than Deshaan Kaiser. No,

1118
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 2: I mean second year started to Shan Kaiser.

1119
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's better talent wise than Kaiser.

1120
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 2: Kaiser has not better talent wise than Wimbush, but he's

1121
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 2: better than Brandon Wimbush.

1122
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 1: Kaiser had way more talent. He could throw a deeper

1123
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: ball with better accuracy. He obviously was drafted pretty highly

1124
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:24,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I felt a lot better about his

1125
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: skill set than I do Ian Book. But there is

1126
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: a similarity in that both Kaiser and Books seem to

1127
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: play some of their better football when the games on

1128
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 1: the line. Both have that quality in common. I feel

1129
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:42,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more confident in what Book does when

1130
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: he's dealing with pressure than ever Golson. Ever, Golson, he

1131
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,080
Speaker 1: sort of didn't really know what was going to happen.

1132
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: He had legs, but there was a little bit of

1133
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: a Wimbush quality where it was deer in headlights. So

1134
00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm pro Book here. For some reason, there's part of

1135
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: me that feels like I'm waiting for the clock to

1136
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: strike midnight. Yeah, and for this whole thing to turn

1137
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,400
Speaker 1: back into a big old pumpkin. But for now, anyway,

1138
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: the results are there, and he has been playing well

1139
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: in big spots, so gott to stick with him. The

1140
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: offense has been demonstrably better since week three.

1141
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 2: I will add tie because we are contractually obligated to

1142
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 2: do so. This note a name segments brought to you

1143
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 2: by Duncans extra nicotine cigarettes such a Junkins extra nicoten cigarettes.

1144
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 2: Smoke them while watching Coach Kelly's boys smoke the competition.

1145
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Okay, that's such a jerk. Ten thirty ESPN cal at

1146
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: USC USC favored by five and a half. I'm curious

1147
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: to see what the USC offense can do against a

1148
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: good defense.

1149
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: I like USC here Cal going on the road once again,

1150
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: two different styles of offense that they are facing is

1151
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 2: a little bit worrisome to me. I think USC ultimately

1152
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 2: runs away with this game. We saw the step forward

1153
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:04,080
Speaker 2: they took on the ground, granted against Oregon State last week.

1154
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: But when USC can run, USC can comfortably win. They

1155
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,760
Speaker 2: just haven't always run the ball Tim Martin for whatever reason,

1156
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 2: and play calling did not add up to rushing success

1157
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: for the Trojans. I think eventually they get it done.

1158
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 2: I think How's strength has been playing the pass. JT.

1159
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 2: Daniels healthier and healthier, I think is a good sign

1160
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 2: for USC. I'm still worried about SC in the long term,

1161
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 2: but I have them winning this one. Twenty twenty eight thirteen.

1162
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 1: I think I agree with you.

1163
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,479
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go USC, and I think our guy Adam

1164
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: Amine is calling this game. Didn't leave us a voicemail.

1165
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 2: We'll put it on Twitter if he sends us something.

1166
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 2: But he was just at USC, so I will for him.

1167
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 2: If you are going to this game, if you're a

1168
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Cal fan, I guess that's a reverse weekender or just

1169
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 2: a weekend, or if you're a Cal fan going down

1170
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 2: to USC. If you go downtown, which is where USC

1171
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: is and you are looking. I always give the taco recommendations.

1172
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Not today, I have two recommendations of where to eat

1173
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 2: if you're a Berkeley fan going down or cal fan

1174
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 2: going down from Berkeley to USC or wherever. If you're downtown,

1175
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 2: Grand Central Market is an enormous, historic but updated food hall,

1176
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 2: all sorts of great food, coffee, papoosas. There's a breakfast

1177
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 2: sandwich place called egg Slut tie. That's right, eggs Sluts,

1178
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 2: that's outstanding. I will also say, if you're into Middle

1179
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 2: Eastern food, there's a newer place called Bavel and they

1180
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 2: have a lamb neck shwarma tie. Lamb neck shwarma that

1181
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 2: I've heard is just everything.

1182
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 1: Ok.

1183
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 2: Bavel b a ve e l. That would be my

1184
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,120
Speaker 2: recommendation if you're heading downtown for cal usc.

1185
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: And finally, let's travel back in time. Ten fifteen on

1186
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Friday on ESPN two, maybe the biggest group of five

1187
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: matchup of the week, certainly the biggest one of the week,

1188
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: maybe in a couple of weeks. Fresno at Boise State,

1189
01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Fresno favored by two and a half. You're a big

1190
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: Fresno guy, You're big, Oh my gosh, big Jeff Tedford

1191
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: fan over there, we going Fresno here.

1192
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 2: I think so Boise has struggled more recently than I

1193
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 2: would have liked. I know Nevad has improved, and that

1194
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: was on the road about a month ago. I didn't

1195
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 2: love them against BYU last week. They've just been inconsistent.

1196
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 2: As soon as the offense starts looking like it's getting

1197
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 2: on track, the defense falls apart, like it did against

1198
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Air Force. No, it's a very specific kind of offense.

1199
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna go Fresno here. I think there's

1200
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 2: more to depend on with Fresno and how they've looked.

1201
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 2: I think Marcus mcmarion has done a very good job

1202
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 2: for the Bulldogs. I think they're going to be celebrating

1203
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 2: this one in the San Joaquin Valley.

1204
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: I agree, let's go, let's go, Let's go Fresno here.

1205
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1206
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: I should add that we did receive a beer recommendation.

1207
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm losing track of when I do and

1208
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: don't play these, but this one came through such high

1209
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: production quality that we needed to play it.

1210
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 4: Have listened heyrballers. As we start to settle into November,

1211
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 4: it's tight to terms with how good or bat our

1212
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 4: team is this year. With that in mind, this weekend,

1213
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 4: let's enjoy some liquid truth serum from Dogfishead. It's a

1214
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,440
Speaker 4: great tropical ipa that's not too bitter and at seven

1215
01:04:11,440 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 4: percent ABV, A few of them will keep a seminal

1216
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 4: warm and south bend. If you're looking to step up

1217
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 4: your tailgating game. The True serum pairs well with Taiyaki

1218
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 4: pad tie and stir fried vegetables. As always, enjoy responsibly.

1219
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: Thank you to Brian, he is our week eleven hop

1220
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: fensive coordinator.

1221
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 2: I like it quick favor tie. Yeah, will you drop

1222
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 2: that big stanky moaning? Oh boy, Mutol, you haven't used

1223
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 2: moaning yet? Is he going to go there? Is he

1224
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:43,960
Speaker 2: going to go there? Is he going to do it? Yes?

1225
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 2: He is? Moist? Drummond five?

1226
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: What do we got Dan?

1227
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 3: All right?

1228
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 2: We got the eddies going to the Hudson Valley to

1229
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 2: take on army. Who is going Army is going.

1230
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: To rip them? They are going to kill Lafayette. Give

1231
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 1: me give me the cadets here over Lafayette.

1232
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean I'm taking the nights. They're Fordham traveling

1233
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 2: to holy Cross, Fordam obviously just obliterated like Coldgate. But

1234
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 2: who hasn't been going to take on the Crosssaders, who

1235
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 2: are respectable too and two in the pat League. I

1236
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 2: think I'm going to.

1237
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,880
Speaker 1: Cross a gotta go Crossaders here. Yet Fordham has been

1238
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: awful this year.

1239
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, lost two coaches in the past four or five years.

1240
01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 2: Bucknell traveling to Georgetown and where are they traveling? Specifically

1241
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 2: to the.

01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: Hornet's Nest that is multi sports field, the Hornets.

1243
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 2: Nest, that is multi sport field. I like Georgetown here

1244
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 2: the Nelly hasn't been a disaster this year.

1245
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 3: We agree col Gates, Colgates, col Gate cole Gates, who.

1246
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: Are allowing two point something points a game. They are

1247
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: They're feasting on the limbs. They're not even just ripping

1248
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 2: them off. They are fueled by the limbs of their opponents.

1249
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 3: Hate.

1250
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 2: No, have not lost in the pat League? Five and oh,

1251
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 2: traveling to your neck of the woods tie, I know

1252
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: I was at twelve thirty.

1253
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: Should I go to this game?

1254
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna say something TI. Yeah, I think

1255
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 2: you get a cooler full of Cengria. You gather the

1256
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 2: miss it Lee High would be a good place for

1257
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 2: a big cooler of sangria.

1258
01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 1: It would fit right in.

1259
01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it?

1260
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 1: Goodman Field, Goodman Stadium, Goodman.

1261
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 2: Stadium there use me? Yeah, sorry, hilden Brandfield and Putman Stadium.

1262
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 2: You grab a cooler or a thermis whatever. I don't

1263
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 2: know what the weather's going to be like. You have

1264
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 2: some sangria, maybe some spiked apple cider. Okay, should really

1265
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 2: go for it. The game is gonna be over pretty quickly.

1266
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 2: But you could see one of the best college football

1267
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 2: defenses up close. I mean, I'm taking Colgate big here.

1268
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 2: Lee Hi has been kind of a disaster this year.

1269
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 2: A couple of interesting spots, but I say, go, Ty,

1270
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 2: go for forty minutes.

1271
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: I got to talk it over with the solid wife.

1272
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: Tickets are as low as twenty nine dollars though, according

1273
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: to whatever it is.

1274
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: But that's not that low. That's a hot take.

1275
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: Twenty one dollars. You can probably get in cheaper than that.

1276
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 2: I think. I think the scalpers will be out because

1277
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: it's a hot one.

1278
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: Tie Crossaders could be FCS national champions are ranked in

1279
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: the top fifteen.

1280
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,880
Speaker 2: I think they are completely overlooked by the FCS rankings.

1281
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 2: I think it's it's some garbage favoritism by big fcs here,

1282
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Coldgate big here. I also have another recommendation.

1283
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: I believe I said Crossaders, I meant Colgate. Sorry, yeah, Colgate,

1284
01:07:25,320 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: continue going with.

1285
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,640

1325
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 2: Can I mention one more game that actually meant to

1326
01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 2: mention just if you are looking for something because we

1327
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 2: mentioned Sangria Saturday and taking a luxurious long lunch brunch whatever,

1328
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 2: if for whatever reason, you are not drowning your sorrows

1329
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 2: and Sangria at eleven forty five one pm kickoff on

1330
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 2: ESPN Plus. So if you have the service, which is

1331
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: actually great. I don't know if you've messed around with it, ty,

1332
01:09:56,960 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 2: but ESPN Plus is fantastic. Troy and Georgia Southern in

1333
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 2: a pretty enormous Sun Belt matchup. It's at Georgia Southern.

1334
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,840
Speaker 2: I think Troy is favored by a little bit on

1335
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,680
Speaker 2: the road. They've lost a combined one game in the

1336
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 2: Sun Belt. I think this one's gonna be fun. Georgia

1337
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: Southern has quietly been one of the better G five

1338
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: stories this year. So if you're looking for something competitive

1339
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,799
Speaker 2: and interesting with steaks, and the other games are blowouts

1340
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,799
Speaker 2: are just not interesting to you. Troy Georges, Troy, Georgia Southern,

1341
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 2: do it?

1342
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: Do it? Okay, there you go for that guy over there.

1343
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:30,800
