1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lakig is live.

2
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 2: It is Thursday night, October twentieth three of Our Lord

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: Two, brought to you.

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: Probably is always my academy, Sports and outdoors. Who if

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: they played, not a cademy, but your teams. Who if

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: they played? Who if any of us played. As a

8
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: matter of fact, at this point, we are jam packed

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: high atop a boisterous downtown Nashville, Tennessee upset alert meter.

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: It's coming for some of you.

11
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Just don't know who yet, but hopefully we will in

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: the next ten or so minutes. Tennessee is under attack

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: from an outside force, no less, and so I'm not

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: gonna let it go unchecked.

15
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: We will address this tonight.

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: A lot of slander out there about Tennessee, a lot

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 2: of slander about Ohio State. I'm here to defend your

18
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,559
Speaker 2: good honor. We got more predictions. I got two more

19
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: games to get to you. We've got previews, we've got

20
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: a model selection on it.

21
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: We've got my own.

22
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: Personal feel for whatever it's worth, and I've got well

23
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Colin four added best bets tonight, including a very rare

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: paper popping total move.

25
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: This is weather related.

26
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: It's not the Oregon game either it is weather related,

27
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: doesn't always take precipitation to warrant a weather based wager.

28
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: We will dive in momentarily. Flagstaff, Arizona, tuned in Dallas, Georgia,

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: probably Dallas, Texas. I know the good people out there

30
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: watching Denver, Colorado, Portland, Oregon. We're all be in like

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen hours looking forward to getting out there. Hey,

32
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: so I put out a challenge the other night. I'm

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: still taking request for what the reward should be should

34
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 2: you meet the challenge. But we're gonna get to one

35
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty thousand subs on this channel, and I

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: think we're gonna do it, frankly well before the new year.

37
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: But we're gonna give you till January first. We put

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: it out the other night.

39
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: I think we've gotten like sixteen hundred subs since then,

40
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 2: and that was two days ago.

41
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: So what are we at right now?

42
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: We're at about one hundred and thirty six k Hey,

43
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: let's just keep going up, up up.

44
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: Hey.

45
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: Management's in the building right now. I mean they're just

46
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 2: on the other side of the wall. So make us

47
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: look good for management. That's all I ever asked. Subscribe

48
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: to the channel like the video and make management think

49
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 2: that we're actually doing something around here. Okay, let's dive

50
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: into the show tonight upset alert meter. It is a

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: staple of the Thursday show, scale of one to ten.

52
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: How real is this threat that you face? And I

53
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: want to talk about the Alabama Crimson tide. I laughed

54
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 2: because I thought that I was going to get trashed

55
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: unmercifully by BAMA fans the other night because of well

56
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: telling the truth, and they actually endorsed a vast majority

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: of what we said on the show. Well, now, luckily

58
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: for them, they don't have a bye week, they don't

59
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: have to stew on this whole lost to Tennessee thing.

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: They get Mississippi State in there. There is no team

61
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: in this conference short of Vanderbilt they match up with

62
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: better than Mississippi State.

63
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: And so the line here is twenty one.

64
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: Personally, I think Bama's going to cover the number, but

65
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: the model says the number's right.

66
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna bet on this game.

67
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: I put the upset alert at a two here, and

68
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: it may shock you because we just saw Bama so

69
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: vulnerable right against the pass and Mike Leech, what is

70
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: he known for throwing the ball seventy eight times per game.

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: Here's the difference.

72
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Tennessee won the game the other day because they could

73
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: run the ball, and I know that that's not what

74
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Hyatt did. He didn't scurry to the end zone.

75
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: He caught the ball and then did so. But Tennessee's

76
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 2: ability to be legitimate on the ground forced Bama into

77
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: a heavier box. They couldn't play a two high shell

78
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: like they absolutely will this Saturday. And look, even Bama

79
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: safety is going to be okay against the pass if

80
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 2: they're two of them deep. And it's always been a

81
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: bad matchup Saban versus Mike Leach. It's always been a

82
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: bad matchup. So I do not think this is happening.

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: If it does happen, the world as we know it

84
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: will quite literally burn to the ground. So I'm gonna

85
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: go the opposite way. I think it's like a two

86
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: or two and a half elsewhere in the South, but

87
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: not the Southeastern Conference. Syracuse at Clemson, excuse me, let

88
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: me pay the due respect to Syracuse Undefeated. Syracuse brought

89
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: to you by the mysterious Orange Beverage and the Childie

90
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: of Supremacy.

91
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: I got orange on orange.

92
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 2: Here, Clemson is a thirteen or thirteen and a half

93
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: point favorite, depending on where you look.

94
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: If you're interested.

95
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 2: In such things, you can get Syracuse at plus four

96
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 2: hundred on the money line. I happen to think that

97
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: this should qualify as a four. Here's why I think

98
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: Clemson is the solidly better team. I heavily lean them.

99
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 2: We picked them to win, we picked them to cover.

100
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: Not an official best bet. But here's what I cannot

101
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: get out of my mind. I have watched Clemson, and

102
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: I have watched the history of this sport, and I

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: know sometimes what you run the risk of when you

104
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: stack a bunch of these pretty high pressure games on

105
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 2: top of each other. And I know, if you're playing

106
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: like Arkansas schedule right now, or if you're facing what

107
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: Ole Miss is about to face coming up in the

108
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: second half of the season, you're not all that impressed

109
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: with Wake Forest, NC State, Boston College, Florida State, and Syracuse.

110
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: I get that, But the fact remains, that is the

111
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: actual meat of clemson schedule, and this is about the

112
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: fifth game in a row that they're gonna need to

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: be up or at least at a B plus level,

114
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 2: and there has not been a clunker in there.

115
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: They've won, They've covered most of these games. They won

116
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: all these games.

117
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 2: You had that overtime game against Wake to start this

118
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: little run, and they've been dominant to quite dominate from.

119
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: There on out.

120
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: They had a close final against Florida State, but they

121
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: also had a thirty four to fourteen lead in that

122
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 2: game to start the fourth quarter last week. So I'm

123
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: gonna put this at a four only because I know

124
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: that history says just independent of who the opponent is,

125
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: the situation could sometimes grab you. Here's my counter to that.

126
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: And at this point I'm just arguing against air. But

127
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: my counter to that would be, Look, if Syracuse was

128
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: some middling five hundred team with the same skill set,

129
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,119
Speaker 2: they just had some tough breaks go against them, that'd

130
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: be one thing.

131
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 1: They've got Clemson's full attention. This is a national attention game.

132
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: And so it's such a blessing in disguise or blessing

133
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: in the skies if you don't know whether you want

134
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: to be right or wrong about that. To Dabos twenty

135
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: because he doesn't have to worry about it, it's a

136
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 2: sleepy noon spot. The bye weeks on deck History says,

137
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: this could be one where.

138
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: You trip up.

139
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: I think the undefeated nature of Syracuse takes care of that.

140
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna put this at a four because I

141
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: get it could happen. I don't think it will happen.

142
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: Now we go to the Big Twelve, the most entertaining

143
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 2: conference in all the land, Texas against Oklahoma State.

144
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is an eight. Now.

145
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 2: It sounds a little hypocritical because I did pick Texas.

146
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: To win the other night.

147
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a close game. But independent

148
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 2: of what I think, I have been wrong. In fact,

149
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: we've documented, like what two, maybe even three times this

150
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 2: year I've said something incorrect on this show when it

151
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 2: comes to predicting games. Could happen. I hate it, but

152
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: it could happen. My speculation is we've got a new

153
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: version of Texas here, and if I'm right, then all

154
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: of the recent historical trends about how bad Texas is

155
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: when they're in these spots, especially on the road, will

156
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 2: be irrelevant. If I'm wrong, God for Bib, then Texas

157
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: is gonna go and they're gonna lose in still Water,

158
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: Oklahoma this Saturday.

159
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: And it's a possibility.

160
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at the most recent Texas in

161
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: true road games graphic over here. They went to Texas

162
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: Tech most recently, albeit with a backup quarterback, and they lost.

163
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: They lost at.

164
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: Virginia or West Virginia in twenty twenty one, at Iowa

165
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: State in twenty twenty one, at Baylor in twenty twenty one,

166
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 2: they got to win against TCU, and they lost at Arkansas.

167
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 2: These are all as you can see in the past

168
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: year under Steve Sarkegium, I think that we're going to

169
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: start a new trend. So I do not personally buy

170
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: into this, but I do buy into the fact that

171
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: it's a very real possibility.

172
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna put an eight on this.

173
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: But there is an added risk, friends, there's an added

174
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: risk in a rare move.

175
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: Colin, you don't have to show me anything graphically, but

176
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and do it.

177
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: I am going to give you a Rama Noodle Express

178
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: added best bet here, unprecedented. We've never there, you go,

179
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: We've never done it. That's how serious it is. A

180
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 2: second paper pop to open the show. Thirty mile an

181
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 2: hour wins out of the South in this game. And

182
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: if you've never been in the Midwest, you've never felt

183
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:00,559
Speaker 2: that southern flow.

184
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Here's what it is.

185
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 2: You've got a thirty mile an hour breeze with gusts

186
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 2: up to forty five. That's a tropical storm. By the way,

187
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: gusts up to forty five. You may think to yourself, Ooh,

188
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna be chilly, right, Nope, southerly winds from Mexico,

189
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: because that's kind of what south of Oklahoma and Texas.

190
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have temperatures pushing ninety degrees with thirty

191
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: five mile an hour wins.

192
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: And as one.

193
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: Of our very vary astute viewers pointed out in my

194
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: DMS last night, this is one of few stadiums in

195
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 2: America that is east west oriented cross winds. Guys cross

196
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: win the evil crosswind. What does Texas need to do?

197
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 2: What does Oklahoma State need to do? They need to

198
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: throw the ball. Neither of them are gonna be able

199
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: to do it quite effectively. If that's the case, and

200
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: we are taking under sixty and a half, it is

201
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: my belief that by the time you wake up Saturday

202
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 2: morning and people become aware that the flags are completely

203
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: starched atop that stadium, you'll see that thing come down

204
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: to fifty seven, fifty six, fifty five couldn't be us.

205
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna be ahead of it. In fact, I think

206
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: that thing may come down so much we may even

207
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: be able to catch a little middle. But we're not

208
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: gonna mess with out on the Ramnudal Express under sixty

209
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: and a half Texas and Oklahoma State. That is an added

210
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: best bet. What about Iowa Ohio State. It's not gonna happen.

211
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 2: It's a one. In fact, dare I do it? Yes, Yes,

212
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: I dare. I'm gonna go below one. I'm gonna go

213
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: zero point seventy five. You can play it. You can

214
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 2: put it on any bulletin board you want. You can

215
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: make all the graphics in the world you want. Iowa

216
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: can't score enough to contend in this game. They just can't.

217
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: The spreads thirty. Yes, in a conference game, spreads thirty.

218
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State doesn't have to score nearly thirty. Okay, if

219
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: you were to best case scenario here, if you just

220
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 2: hold them to like twenty three or twenty four, you've

221
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: got to prove to me you can get there.

222
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: And there is no.

223
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: Model, as we have established it can predict special team

224
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: scorers or defensive scores. If you were to do that

225
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: twenty one non offensive points and you have the defensive

226
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: performance of the year, then yes, that could be in

227
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: the cards. Okay, so maybe I'll put it like a

228
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: one point twenty five because crazier things have happened. But think,

229
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: as I've had pointed out to me about a dozen

230
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: times per hour for the past three weeks, Ohio State

231
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: hasn't played anyone this year. But I'm not saying that pejoratively.

232
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying that to indicate to you any any game

233
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 2: that just offers a semblance of a reason to get up,

234
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: they're gonna get up for. Do you remember how bad

235
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: they crucified Wisconsin and then they've had Rutgers in Michigan State.

236
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 2: Now they get Iowa at home and they get a

237
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 2: reason to bring recruits in there, and they go to

238
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: Penn State next week.

239
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be bad.

240
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: And it may not be that it's a fifty point margin,

241
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: but it'll be bad. This won't be close. So I'm

242
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: not even gonna waste much time on this. Duke and

243
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: Miami kind of a random game, right, well, not so much.

244
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: I want you to remember when we showed you in

245
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: week one week two, week three, some of the disturbing

246
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 2: trends offensively for Miami, and now the past couple of weeks.

247
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: I want you to know, because we're equal opportunity around here,

248
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 2: they have been rectified to a certain degree. Tyler van

249
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 2: Dyke's been very good the past couple of weeks. This

250
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 2: offense has been very good the past couple of weeks. Now,

251
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: they lost to North Carolina last week. That's a conference loss,

252
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: but they won two weeks ago. They won against Virginia

253
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: Tech last week. Now they've got Duke at home, and

254
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: this is a manageable stretch therein. This is a noon

255
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: kickoff Eastern time, so they need to get off to

256
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: a fast start. Don't be messing around here. They're favored

257
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: by nine. Now we got on it at eight and

258
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 2: a half. Miami is one of our best bets of

259
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 2: the week. I'm putting this at a six because even

260
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 2: though I think they're gonna win and cover this reputation

261
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 2: for Miami, I'm not even gonna call them the new Miami.

262
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 2: We're not there yet, but this even new reputation is

263
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: not nearly established enough. Memau just put the jello in

264
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: the fridge, like ten minutes ago, so it has not congealed.

265
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: I have no confidence that I'm gonna pull that out,

266
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: and it's a finished product. So we're going week by

267
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 2: week right now, week by week. This can be a

268
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 2: tasty gelatin whenever it does congeal. They're not there quite yet, however,

269
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: I do think we're gonna get a win in cost.

270
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: But I'm not an idiot. I'm gonna put a six

271
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: on this big weekend coming up for you, for me,

272
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 2: for everyone. We are going to be somewhere where it's

273
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: going to rain a whole lot. So what did I

274
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: do earlier this week? Well, I dialed up our friends

275
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: at Academy Sports and Outdoors got myself some rain gear.

276
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: I suggest any of you in the Pacific Northwest do

277
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: the same, or Academy dot com if you don't have

278
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 2: one in your backyard, and you'll be set. We're set

279
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: simply because we have locked arms with this wonderful, wonderful

280
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: brand here, Academy Sports and Outdoors. They are our one

281
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: stop shop for friendship, yes, but also outdoor sporting good supplies,

282

283
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 2: things I'm listening here. If you do nothing else in

Speaker 1: Got you set.

289
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 2: This sounds like a place, if you don't know any better,

290
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: that you go to buy a basket, or to buy

291
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: a football, or to buy you a sleeve of golf balls.

292
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: And they do have those things. But that is scratching

293
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: the surface, just the mere surface.

294
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: Of all of the wonderful things that are inside and

295

298
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,200

299
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 2: because they take care of it. They pay the freight

300
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: so you don't have to. So just for the things

301
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: you're already gonna need anyway in life, all of those

302

Speaker 2: necessities for people like us, check out Academy Sports and

303
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: Outdoors or Academy dot Com. I was inundated the other

304
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: night because we don't want to repeat if the accident

305
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 2: we had last week where we missed a game preview,

306
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: so I was inundated with fans of a few teams

307
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 2: who said, why didn't you predict our game Tuesday night?

308
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 2: And the answer is because we need some stuff to

309
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: talk about on Thursday. I hope that's good enough for

310
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 2: you guys. How about this one. I'm not gonna go

311
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: like five or ten minutes on these, but I did

312
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: want to hit a couple of these games. And then

313
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: I've got some slam to address and I got three

314
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: more best bets to get you. So we've still got

315
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: a loaded show. Texas A and M at South Carolina.

316
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: This is off a lot of your radars. It shouldn't

317
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 2: be very juicy, very interesting, ton of subplots for the storyline,

318
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: crowd out there.

319
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: Does this have to be it? For Texas A and M?

320
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: And by it I mean the click moment, the inflection point,

321
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 2: sort of the scaleability of the offense if it's ever

322
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: gonna happen, isn't this kind of when it has to happen?

323
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: This is the spot coming.

324
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 2: Off the bye week where I was told, anything that

325
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: can be done to this offense, any improvement you could see,

326
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: it'll come out of the bye week. Well, you got

327
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: South Carolina on a three game win streak. You got

328
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 2: A and M on a two game losing streak. It

329
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: is egregious, beyond the point of believability. The last time

330
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: an M played a home game and this one's on

331
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 2: the road too, whiz for everyone out there, When is

332
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: the last time Texas A and M played a home game?

333
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Answer?

334
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: It was the Miami game. Remember that feels like three

335
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: years ago? Yes, friends, that was on September seventeenth. It

336
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: is now October twentieth. This game happens on the twenty second.

337
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 2: They don't play another home game until the twenty ninth

338
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: of October. So they're going from September seventeenth to October

339
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 2: twenty ninth without playing a game in Kyle Field.

340
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: Crime against college football.

341
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 2: But I digress A and m's offense points per game,

342
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: lowest in the SEC, yards per game, twenty plus yard

343
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 2: plays offensively, it's all you know the story, it's the.

344
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: Lowest in the SEC.

345
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: That kind of stuff scares some people away, and I

346
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: know why it does.

347
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. When you come out of the

348
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: bye week and you've.

349
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: Had a little time to self scout and to reassess

350
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: any change, you could possibly make you've made.

351
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is because.

352
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: Those stats indicate there is no motivation, there's no incentive

353
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: to maintain status quo. So I don't know what I'm

354
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: going to get from A and M, but the last

355
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: thing I expect to get from them is exactly what

356
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: was producing those results. Now there's a lot of whispering

357
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: in and around Aggie football. We may see Connor Wegman

358
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: this week. That's the true freshman quarterback. We had Jimbo

359
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: on the show back for a national signing day and

360
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 2: he said, we think he's the best in the country

361
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: and that includes Quinn youwrs. That's why we didn't pursue

362
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: Quinn yours. That's what Jimbo said. He has not backed

363
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: off that, and I know they've got a ton of

364
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: confidence in him.

365
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Is this where we're going to see him?

366
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 2: And what could make that difficult is number one, this

367
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: is a really tough place to play on the road.

368
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: But number two, you could have injuries along the offensive line,

369
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: So keep an eye on that. It doesn't have to

370
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: be he starts and plays all seventy plays. It could

371
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 2: be that you get a start by Haines King, you

372
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: get a package for Connor Wegman.

373
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're going to see him at all.

374
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying it's as on the radar of possibilities

375
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: as we've seen all year.

376
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: A and M has not scored.

377
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: More than twenty four in any of these games except

378
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: for the Sam Houston game, I think. So that's the

379
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: argument I'm seeing a lot for people picking South Carolina.

380
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: They're saying, I'm picking South Carolina because A and M

381
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 2: hasn't top twenty four points in any of these games.

382
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are you going to top twenty four

383
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: points in this game? Because that's only one part of

384
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 2: the equation. If A and M scores twenty but you

385
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 2: score ten, well guess what that means. That means a

386
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: win for them and a loss for you. So I'm

387
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 2: trying to figure out on both ends. In a game

388
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 2: where the total is forty four and a half, that's

389
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 2: like a late NFL preseason total, I'm trying to figure

390
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 2: out where this offense is going to come from.

391
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 1: And it really comes down.

392
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: To me to what kind of run game am I

393
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: going to get from South Carolina. You can't let them

394
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 2: stone you to the point where you're relying on Spencer

395
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 2: Rattler to throw your way to victory. Can't have that, Okay,

396
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 2: So first and foremost, I gotta have South Carolina establish

397
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 2: at least somewhat of a run game here. Because here's

398
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: the other thing I worry about. I mean, I've given

399
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 2: serious consideration both ways. I changed my pick like five

400
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: times on this game. Today, South Carolina turns the ball over.

401
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: Man.

402
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: They've done it every game. A and M's had some

403
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 2: games where they've done it. Carolina has done it more consistently,

404
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: and that's a bad kind of consistency. That's the kind

405
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: you don't want. Nighttime at Williams Brice matters sold out.

406
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: That fan base continues to do their part, and I

407
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 2: credit them. The Williams Brice Stadium said it before, and

408
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 2: I've set it again the most underrated night venue in

409
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:22,000
Speaker 2: college football. A and M's used to it, though they've

410
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: been to several of these big environments already in this collection.

411
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 2: They I mean, they played in Bryant Denny Stadium at

412
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: night two weeks ago. So I don't think that if

413
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 2: they lose, it's going to be because it's a shock

414
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: to the senses that the environment takes on them. Let's

415
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: take a look at what the line is. It's A

416
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 2: and M minus three. Here's what the model thinks.

417
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: It's shorter.

418
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 2: It likes A and M minus one. It essentially says

419
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: the game is a toss up. That's also the model saying, ooh,

420
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 2: may lean South Carolina situationally a little bit. Now we've

421
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 2: got A and M power rated higher than South Carolina.

422
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 2: But the model's taken six situational dynamics and potential injury

423
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: into account, and it actually, in this little moment in time,

424
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: may may even well, actually it wouldn't call South Carolina's

425
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: at home Colin.

426
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,919
Speaker 1: I almost attempted to tell you to cut the.

427
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 2: Last twenty seconds out of this show when we posted.

428
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 2: I went back and forth all day on this. Here's

429
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 2: where I default. I default to Texas A and M.

430
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: I have no confidence in this whatsoever. I could change

431
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,439
Speaker 2: my mind before I leave the parking lot tonight. I

432
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: just think that there's this version of them. It's not

433
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 2: leaps and bounds better than what we've seen that doesn't

434
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 2: exist this year. But I think there's a version of

435
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: them good enough. And when they played in this game

436
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: last year, they smoked South Carolina and I know that

437
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 2: doesn't always carry over, but it is. It's just a

438
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: little bit too hard for me to envision this matchup

439
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: totally getting flipped on. It's here over the span of

440
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 2: one calendar year. So with the least confidence possible, I'm

441
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: taking A and M and I fully expect to be hurt.

442
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: You know, Jesse lobbied me not to predict this game,

443
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: this next one, but we've.

444
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:56,479
Speaker 1: Got to do it.

445
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 2: Minnesota is at Penn State. It is a seven third

446
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 2: the ABC Whiteout game. The white Out matters. We'll talk

447
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 2: about it in a second. There's a lot of there's

448
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 2: a lot of negativity, believe it or not, around Penn

449
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: State football. That's what happens when someone runs the ball

450
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: for about a quarter.

451
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: To a half a mile on you, like Michigan did.

452
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 2: But I just want to remind you, guys, some of

453
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: you may be new to this whole song and dance.

454
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: The year was twenty sixteen, The opponent was Michigan, the

455
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: venue was Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the visiting team was

456
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 2: Penn State. And they lost forty nine to ten, and

457
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: they went on to win the Big Ten title. So

458
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 2: crazier things have happened let's relax, let's put it behind us,

459
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: and let's gear up for a Minnesota team that, on

460
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 2: their own side of the equation has not looked so

461
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 2: hot lately.

462
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: Here's what they do, though.

463
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 2: Minnesota can limit you, or at least they've limited the

464
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: teams they've played so far to eleven point seven points

465
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 2: per game. Those teams, for the record, New Mexico State,

466
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 2: Western Illinois, Colorado, Michigan State, Purdue Illinois a murderer's row.

467
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: I would not call that, but at least they are

468
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 2: football teams with living, breathing human beings on the field.

469
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: Good for Minnesota. Let's dive into this thing. The white

470
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: out matters. We went to this game last year, albeit

471
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 2: against Auburn, a much more high profile environment.

472
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: It matters. But look, producer Jesse Penn State producer Jesse.

473
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: I was talking to him today and I said, Jesse,

474
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: and I just took truth here him and I put

475
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: him in his neck. I said, tell me the truth.

476
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: How important is the why dot? How much is it

477
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: going to matter here? And he said, look, we're coming

478
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 2: off a loss. It's the first time we've played an

479
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 2: unranked team in the white out since twenty ten. Minnesota's

480
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: off a two game losing streak. Everyone knows Ohio State's

481
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: on deck, and we just came off the Michigan game.

482
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: He said, well, he said something else to me, and

483
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: then I summarized it as such.

484
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: Producer Jesse thinks we may have one of those classic

485
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 2: college football cola conundrums on our hands. And who's to

486
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 2: amongst us hasn't been caught up in one of those before.

487
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: And according to the way Producer Jesse tells me, it works.

488
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: You pop the top, that's great, that's the white out,

489
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 2: you take the field opening drive, crowd is at full throat.

490
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: But if you don't take advantage, and if the other

491
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: guy works through that early storm, then the fizz dies

492
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: down and what you're left with.

493
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: Is just coke or pop as his people would call it.

494
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 2: And there is a concern, a valid one, that if

495
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: Penn State can't harness that, then you know, there's a

496
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: little bit of there's a little bit of PTSD in

497
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 2: the back of everyone's mind as to what happened last week,

498
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 2: and there's a little bit of PTSD as to how

499
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 2: hard it's been for Penn State to score and find

500
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: any offensive rhythm. Hey, here's a novel concept. How about

501
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: a fast start offensively for Penn State. Wouldn't that be

502
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: crazy instead of waiting to the second half to try

503
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 2: and muster some offense. Tanner Morgan, the quarterback from Minnesota,

504
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: is questionable here with concussion symptoms. We don't know if

505
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna play. Here's who we do know is gonna play.

506
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 2: Moe Ibrahim. And that's a running back that is really

507
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 2: good and most of you know him, even though he

508
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: plays at Minnesota. Over one hundred yards rushing in fourteen

509
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 2: straight games. That's really good. Not surprisingly that leads the

510
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: nation sixty six point two percent on third down conversions.

511
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: Are the Minnesota Golden Gophers. So you quickly see you

512
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: got stung by the run last last week.

513
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: Big time.

514
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 2: You got a back that can do it as well

515
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 2: as either one of them at Michigan can, and you

516
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: got a team that is deadly on third down. That's

517
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 2: an equation that if you don't get out to an

518
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 2: early lead and you don't get off the field, could

519
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: really really lead to.

520
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: A quiet third quarter, a quiet fourth quarter.

521
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: Remember that Illinois game last year ends up going to overtime.

522
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: You lose a game, you have no business losing. This

523
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 2: wouldn't be that bad because the line's only four on

524
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 2: this game. But that's the way it could feel. Fast

525
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: start imperative here. Penn State zero offensive rhythm. Last week

526
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: they had zero drives of ten plus plays. Michigan at

527
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 2: five I think seems like a dozen desperation. I think

528
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: is gonna win here. Though, Let's take a look at

529
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: what the model thinks. Sorry about that, Colin, I saw

530
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 2: you just brought the slider out there.

531
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: The line is four. It's come down from six, by

532
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 1: the way. The line is four. But the model disagrees.

533
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: The model has Penn State winning this thing by seven

534
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,159
Speaker 2: and a half. And you know what, not only am

535
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: I gonna take Penn State to win, I'm gonna take

536
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: Penn State to cover. And you know what else, it's

537
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: one of our best bets. We're gonna take Penn State

538
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: to win and cover, and we're gonna put it at

539
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 2: minus four on the Rama Noodle Express. The odds as

540
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: of this moment tonight on Thursday to win the Big Ten,

541
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: Penn State's at plus two thousand. Illinois, for the record,

542
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: is ahead of Penn State. Now that has everything to

543
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: do with the division they play in.

544
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: Obviously, but.

545
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 2: I can tell you now I was joking earlier about

546
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 2: what would happen if Bama lost, kind of joking. If

547
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: Penn State loses this game, they're gonna be a double

548
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 2: digit underdog at home against Ohio State next week. Bad

549
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 2: bad energy around the Nitneyllance program. My advice, I mean,

550
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: write this down if you want to would be to win.

551
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: That would be my advice. I hope you to hope

552
00:25:10,480 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 2: you listen to every word there. Okay, we open the

553
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: mail bag today. The mail bag is a great, great

554
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: thing for us because oftentimes you guys ask better questions

555
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: than we ever would have thought of ourselves, because, believe

556
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: it or not, sometimes even our staff has limitations. So

557
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a little sip of what's in the

558
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: chalice over here. It is a beverage from a company

559
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 2: that shan't be named because they still have not reached

560
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: out for an advertising opportunity, delicious though it may be.

561
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do two things here. We're gonna open the.

562
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 2: Mailbag, and while we do, I need you to like

563
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 2: this video and I need you to subscribe to the

564
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: channel because we're gonna get to one hundred and fifty

565
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: k that way.

566
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: This first question, So let's take a look at it first. Colin.

567
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 2: Okay, sometimes I forget we actually have tweets here, Jaren

568
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 2: asked earlier today, Ohio State has no impressive wins, yet

569
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: the media loves them so much. Why is that, Jaren?

570
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: This is gonna get pretty nasty. This is not directed

571
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: towards you. You asked a question, It's fair enough, But

572
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to answer your question. But just understand some

573
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: of the anger that is going to come from deep

574
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 2: down inside me is being aimed.

575
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 1: At a general idea, not a specific person.

576
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I really hope you listen to me, Jaren, because

577
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 2: what I'm about to say is is kind of mean.

578
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: Some of you people are idiots.

579
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: Okay, some of you people have no clue what you're

580
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: looking at year to years, like you get amnesia every

581
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: single what you would call off season because you clearly

582
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 2: are a casual. Not you, Jaren, for the fourth time,

583
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: not you, Who have they played? Season is one of

584
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: the worst times of the year because who have they played?

585
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: Season is that time of year where it does not

586
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,959
Speaker 2: matter if you've got eleven literal race horses on the field,

587
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: if those race horses haven't played anything ranked in the

588
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: top ten. They haven't played anyone. Therefore, they're not legitimate

589
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 2: race horses, and how dare you speak highly of them?

590
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: I just I got a serious question. I know I

591
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 2: call people idiots. Okay, you're not idiots, you're saying something idiotic.

592
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: Smart people say dumb things. Sometimes the dumb people do

593
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: not say smart things. Smart people can't say dumb things.

594
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say about Ohio State?

595
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if this was.

596
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: Your show, You've got a platform, the MIC's in front

597
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: of you, and it's up to you to accurately describe

598
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 2: Ohio State football. At this point, not week one, it's

599
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: week eight, guys. We can't sit around for the entire

600
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 2: season in an opinion based format until we state our opinion.

601
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: So what would you have me say about Ohio State?

602
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: To be clear, my opinion is they're a national championship contender.

603
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: I think they're one of the best teams in the country.

604
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: I have them Power rated number one right now, and

605
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 2: I think they'll be favored against.

606
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 1: Any team on a neutral field tomorrow.

607
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 2: I think they'll be favored by about two against Georgia

608
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 2: and about three or four against Alabama.

609
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: That is not a.

610
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 2: Wild opinion at all, and that's the way odds making works. Otherwise,

611
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: Vegas would never be able to make lines on Week

612
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: one games because no one's played anyone. So remember I

613
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: power rate teams. So that's the way I look at it.

614
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 2: It's okay to make reasonable assumptions with Ohio State. Now

615
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: they haven't played a top ten team, it's okay to

616
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: reasonably assume that even though they haven't. I think this

617
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 2: is a pretty good team. And if you ask me why,

618
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: here are my reasons. They've got CJ. Stroud at quarterback.

619
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,959
Speaker 2: They've got an incredible tandem in the backfield. I think

620
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: they have the best offensive line in college football. I

621
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: think they've got a stable of incredible wide receivers. Jim

622
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: Knowles has improved this defense. They've finished top five and

623
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 2: recruiting the last three years. These are context clues that

624
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: are not just being pulled out of thin air.

625
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: These things matter. Doesn't mean they're gonna win the national title.

626
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: It does not mean that. It doesn't even mean they're

627
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 2: gonna beat Iowa this week. But I got a pretty

628
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: darn good feeling that they're gonna beat Iowa and Penn

629
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: State and Northwestern. I got a pretty good feeling they're

630
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 2: gonna be undefeated when they play Michigan because of this,

631
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: But they struggled against Notre Dame Josh Hey, Bama's gone

632
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: to the wire with like four teams this year. They

633
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 2: took it to the last play against Texas A and

634
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 2: m at home. A couple of weeks ago, Georgia trailed

635
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: Missouri in the fourth quarter. Everybody's shown vulnerability. It's just

636
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: that since week one, Ohio State.

637
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: Hasn't they skull drug everyone.

638
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: So until you show me this team it's one by

639
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 2: fifty every week against legitimate competition, I gotta judge everyone

640
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: like this, who's playing this murderer's row of top ten

641
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 2: competition every week. It's not the NFL. It's not the

642
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 2: way it works. You don't play someone equal to you

643
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: every single week.

644
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing.

645
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of the NFL, this whole ideology is so backwards

646
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: because you're telling me, independent of what the team looks like,

647
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: you just can't praise them. You can't put any kind

648
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: of numeric grade on them until they've played elite competition.

649
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: Well, by that logic, let me ask you a question.

650
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: If I took the Buffalo bills right now from the NFL,

651
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: and I said, Buffalo, come here, you're going to the

652
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 2: Big ten. And they descended to the Big ten. But

653
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: they had only played Ohio state schedule. They would have

654
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: beaten everyone by one hundred and fifteen, but they had

655
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: only played Ohio state schedule. There are people in this world,

656
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: casuals amongst us, who would look at Buffalo.

657
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: And say, I haven't playing anyone who have they played? Though.

658
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,239
Speaker 2: Arnold Schwarzenaker in his prime walks into the room, and

659
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 2: these people say, yeah, but he hasn't arm wrestled anyone.

660
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 2: How do I know that he's strong? They You know,

661
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: you go to the nicest steakhouse in New York City

662
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: and they.

663
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Drop a three hundred and fifty dollars twelve ounce fula

664
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: in front of you. I haven't tasted it, though, How

665
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: do I know it's any good?

666
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: You just know sometimes, or you have a pretty good

667
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: idea that if this guy's biceps are twenty four inches,

668
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: he's strong. If this piece of meat costs three hundred

669
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,959
Speaker 2: and fifty bucks, it's probably pretty good.

670
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: If I've got a roster full of players.

671
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,840
Speaker 2: Who are coveted by everyone, in America and the quarterbacks

672
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: is about to go top five in the NFL draft,

673
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: and all of these dudes are elite, and this coaching

674
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 2: staff is elite.

675
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: They're probably pretty good.

676
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 2: That's how I assume, And if you want to assume otherwise,

677
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 2: that's fine. Back it up with your money though, like

678
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 2: everybody can use their mouth. If you really believe that

679
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 2: team's vastly overrated or doesn't deserve to be up there,

680
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 2: go bet Iowa money line, go get back, go up

681
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: at Penn State money line, or put a future's wager

682
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 2: on whoever you think is.

683
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: Gonna end up beating them.

684
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 2: That's available in the market right now. Jaron, I love you,

685
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: I thank you for watching.

686
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: That was not directed at you. We move on, who

687
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: speaking of people we need to call out Colin, Let's

688
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: do it. Let's so.

689
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 2: Got asked earlier today to settle the Wes Rutger versus

690
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: Brandon Walker debate, and I didn't know what it was.

691
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: So it's explained here by Eric.

692
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 2: But I'm going to actually tee up a second tweet

693
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: and it is from West Rutger. Wes Rutger works for

694
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: our Tennessee side. He's been there a long time. Good dude,

695
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 2: friend of the program. So here's what Wes said for

696
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,359
Speaker 2: those of you listening on podcasts. He said, Tennessee being

697
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: really good, has always been and will always be really

698
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: good for college football because almost no one is ambivalent

699
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 2: about the balls. People love them or hate them. And

700
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: when you see their shade of orange, you know exactly

701
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 2: who it is. Big brand makes the sport better. Fair enough, right,

702
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 2: I mean you could argue or disagree with some of that,

703
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: but I mean it's Tennessee's good. And generally speaking, you know,

704
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 2: people pay attention to Tennessee. I don't know if they're

705
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 2: loved or hated in Seattle and LA and New York,

706
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: but I thought that at the very leased, some interesting

707
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: concepts were presented there, right, And if you disagree, you

708
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 2: know there's a tactful way to go about responding. Tactful

709
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 2: would in no shape, form or fashion describe our buddy

710
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: Brandon Walker. And so Brandon Walker gets a hold of this,

711
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: and I'm going to play you some audio here and

712
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 2: Colin has it teed up, and I will just let

713
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: you hear for yourself how he responded. This is the

714
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 2: aforementioned debate that I was asked about. And then I

715
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 2: will give you my take, Relick.

716
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: But I promise you, if Tennessee disappeared tomorrow like they

717
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: did the last ten years, college football keep right on marching.

718
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 3: They keep right on going. College football is bigger than

719
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: any one program. If Ohio State quits tomorrow, college football

720
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 3: keeps right on trucking if Alabama. If Nick David quits

721
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: tomorrow and Alabama is dead and gone, college football keeps

722
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: right on a going. Don't you on my leg and

723
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: tell me it's raining and saying, oh my good college,

724
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, colleg football is so much better with

725
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: Tennessee good. No, you big Orange idiots. You think it's

726
00:37:00,560 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 3: better because you're good. That's why you think it's better.

727
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, collag football is so much better when

728
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 3: we're good.

729
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: One.

730
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 3: No, Hillbillies don't act like, oh they saw our orange,

731
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 3: ain't know who we are. Oh my goodness, we're so great.

732
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: Yaate special, welcome back. Good to see you. Puff you

733
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: stay a while. Stop acting like the rest of us

734
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 3: were just lost until you got here.

735
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 2: So there's a tactful way to go about responding, as

736
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 2: I said. And then you got Brandon Walker who runs

737
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 2: in the room like a jackhammer operator, and that's how

738
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: he chose to respond. So I got Wess over here

739
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 2: making the bold claim that college football's better when Tennessee's good.

740
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 2: And then I got Branda Walker stumbling into the room

741
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 2: yelling absolutely not, college football survived without Tennessee. And I'm

742
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: over here in the third corner saying couldn't both of

743
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 2: these be true? Couldn't couldn't both of these guys meet

744
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,439
Speaker 2: in the middle and say, you're right, you're right, shake hands,

745
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 2: go our separate ways.

746
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: College football doesn't need Tennessee.

747
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: True enough, I don't necessarily think that's what our buddy

748
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 2: West said.

749
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: I think our buddy West said it's better.

750
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: When Tennessee's good. So I mean, I agree with Brandon Walker.

751
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: You don't need them. They don't need Alabama college football.

752
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: I've always disagreed with people who say college football needs

753
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: any one thing. College football doesn't need any one thing,

754
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: not even this show. College football doesn't need any one

755
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: brand to thrive.

756
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: We've seen that.

757
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: We've seen college football thrive with Bama down and with

758
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 2: Bama good, with Tennessee down, with Tennessee good, etc.

759
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: So it's true enough you don't need them.

760
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 2: But man, how is anyone about to sit here and

761
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: tell me it's not at least marginally better when brands

762
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 2: like Tennessee are rolling.

763
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: I was there last.

764
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: Saturday night, and I've watched for a while, especially the

765
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: SEC East being complete trash without Tennessee, and I greatly

766
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 2: prefer this brand. I greatly prefer the model where we

767
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: occasionally have this happening up in Knoxville. I prefer a

768
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 2: model of college football where in half of the SEC

769
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: Georgia has to at least break a mild sweat before

770
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 2: they get to Atlanta.

771
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 1: That would be nice. Okay, So I'm.

772
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: Gonna agree with Wesley Rutger. Yeah, overall, I would say

773
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: this is better. Did we do this segment just to

774
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 2: give ourselves the excuse to replay a lot of the

775
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: footage the Ie Josh shot last Saturday night in Neeland Stadium?

776
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,319
Speaker 1: Absolutely we did.

777
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,919
Speaker 2: And you got to excuse me for filibustering here while

778
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: I just get to watch this footage again.

779
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 1: I haven't watched it in a few days. That's great.

780
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 2: Now, look, I need you to be careful. I'm talking

781
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: to our friends in Knoxville. Now, let me take a

782
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 2: sip of your orange liquid. I need you guys to

783
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 2: be careful. I think most of you know better, but

784
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: some of you may not.

785
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: Don't be talking.

786
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 2: Don't be drawn into all these playoff scenarios. It is

787
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 2: not even Halloween. Don't be drawn into all these playoff scenarios.

788
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 2: And what would happen if you had one loss and

789
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 2: they had one loss and they had one loss? Just

790
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 2: I know you're probably not worried about you, T Martin,

791
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: that's fair. Worry about Kentucky. Worry about Kentucky, and then

792
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: worry about Georgia, and then you got back to back

793
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 2: road games to end the regular season. Look, worry about

794
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 2: what's in front of you. And there's gonna be somebody

795
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 2: really sarcastic that comes back in the comments and says,

796
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter what.

797
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: The fan base is thinking. It only matters what the

798
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: team is thinking.

799
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: You'd be shocked at how much a team's mentality reflects

800
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: that of the fan base. You know why, because they're

801
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: not robots that get put on a shelf six days

802
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: a week inside the athletic complex. They're out amongst these people,

803
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 2: so believe it or not, sometimes what gets said ends

804
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 2: up being adopted and a mood outside if you're not

805
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: careful ends up creeping inside.

806
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: That's part one.

807
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 2: Part two that I am so happy to rid ourselves of,

808
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 2: or at least begin to rid ourselves of. Is this

809
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: lie that got repeated over over and over again that

810
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee's time had come and gone, just like Nebraska's had

811
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 2: come and gone. You may be right about Nebraska, you

812
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 2: were never right about Tennessee.

813
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: You were never right.

814
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: That the ingredients that once made them a national power

815
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: were no longer available. It's like Tennessee goes and tries

816
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 2: to restock up on the winning formula and the computer

817
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 2: screen says, out of order, or we don't make that anymore.

818
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do.

819
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: Good culture, hiring the right people, which is most important

820
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 2: after that culture, and then recruiting good athletes and getting

821
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: some of them out of the portal. If you need

822
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: to just sprinkle his cherries on top. Yeah, that's a

823
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: winning combination. It's never been impossible there. They just didn't

824
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 2: have the right people in house, and now they do

825
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 2: and voila look at that didn't even take that long,

826
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 2: did it. And so I just ask you, yes, don't

827
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 2: put the card ahead of the horse. But at the

828
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 2: same time, to the rest of the folks, who tried

829
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: to claim that this brand could never be a brand anymore.

830
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: They what you're seeing now was capable of being done

831
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 2: in twenty twelve and twenty eighteen and twenty twenty. It's

832
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 2: finally happening. But this is not an accident.

833
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 1: This is just what.

834
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: Happens when you put together the right combination of ingredients.

835
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 2: So early, congratulations, not keep it rolling. Next question, I

836
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: got my paper's all mixed up, so I'm riding with you, Colin.

837
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: Okay, sports talk on a budget, aren't we all asked?

838
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: Would you ever consider doing a late kick show Saturday

839
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: morning at the location you're at, kind of like college

840
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: game day or big noon kickoff.

841
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: No, I don't consider that now. What I have considered.

842
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 2: Before is if there were an offer on the table

843
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: from one of those big Saturday morning outfits to where

844
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 2: you know, that's something that contractually I entered into.

845
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's something I would entertain. But starting our.

846
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:48,760
Speaker 2: Own show now, first off, that's an incredibly heavy lift.

847
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: And secondly, candidly, I think the Saturday morning scene is

848
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 2: already pretty saturating. I don't think you need five more

849
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: shows out there, even one more show.

850
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: And otherwise, I really love what we get to do

851
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: on Saturday morning. Number one, halftime, I get to go

852
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: to the gym. Yeah, and that helps you out a

853
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: whole lot, I know.

854
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 2: But number two, we get there early enough, especially if

855
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: we're at a noon game, and sometimes we are, and

856
00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:13,840
Speaker 2: we get to get the behind the scenes access that

857
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 2: you're not getting if you're busy producing a show. So

858
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 2: like I mean Brady, for example, Brady Quinn does a

859
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: lot of stuff with CBS Sports Age Q during the

860
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: week and then he's on the Fox pregame show on Saturday.

861
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: That's great.

862
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 2: I mean, that stuff works, and that's something if that

863
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 2: were ever in the cards whatever, I consider that.

864
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 1: But no doing our own show. What I'd much.

865
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: Prefer to do if we do a late Kick show

866
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 2: on the road is doing stuff like we've done recently,

867
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: either the Thursday Night show or I really think that

868
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 2: there's coming a day where we probably for a big

869
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: event like a conference championship or playoff or something like that,

870
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: we're in a big market for an extended period of time,

871
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 2: we may stage like an in person event sort of

872
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 2: a closed off the record Q and A may even

873
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 2: partner with maybe some other brands and shows out there

874
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: that could be in the cards, but no, we're not

875
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 2: starting a competitive product for the already established Saturday Morning products.

876
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 2: Next up, A good question here, because I thought about

877
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 2: talking about this anyway. The real Kleon asked, Well, he said,

878
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 2: it feels like everyone's avoiding Georgia like the plague. I

879
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 2: don't know why they aren't going away, just because they're

880
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: super young on defense and still leading the SEC in

881
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: points allowed and yardage allowed and all.

882
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: That's true.

883
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 2: So the second part was just stats. But the first part,

884
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,840
Speaker 2: why is everyone avoiding Georgia? We haven't talked about Georgia

885
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 2: a lot on this show. It's not because we're avoiding them.

886
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: There are very few brands that it helps us more

887
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: to talk about than Georgia.

888
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: I grew up in Georgia. I'm from Georgia, so I've

889
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: been around the program my whole life.

890
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: They haven't look, I know it's popular to say about

891
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 2: Ohio State. They haven't played anyone, at least when it

892
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 2: comes to national relevance. What game have they been in

893
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: ever since Week one that Oregon game Listen to this,

894
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: we're not doing game breakdowns on Georgia versus Samford. Georgia

895
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 2: was favored big and one big at South Carolina, Kent

896
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: State at Missouri Auburn. They were favored by thirty Vanderbilt.

897
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 2: There just hasn't been a chance. And so now they

898
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 2: got the Florida game coming up next week maybe and

899
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: then of course you know everybody will be ready for

900
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 2: that Tennessee game.

901
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: But you know there's a string of games.

902
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 2: Look, let me promise you something there Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi State,

903
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 2: and Kentucky back to back to back to back, and

904
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: then maybe an SEC championship game two weeks from that. Yeah,

905
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 2: we'll talk about Georgia a lot the second half of

906
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 2: the season. I don't think people are ignoring them. I

907
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 2: just I don't think there's been any reason to talk

908
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: about Georgia. There hasn't been a major injury. There certainly

909
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: have not been close games. So I guess what I

910
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 2: would say about Georgia right now is job well done

911
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: and we'll see you soon. The other thing to keep

912
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: in mind, you could say the same thing about Ohio State.

913
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: Those two Georgia and Ohio State, they have not been

914
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 2: tested like Bama already has.

915
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: So Bama's got flaws and you know about them.

916
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 2: These other teams may have flaws that you don't know about. Now,

917
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,880
Speaker 2: Georgia got pushed against Missouri, Like we know, this is

918
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 2: not the most special Georgia running back pandem or stable

919
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: that we've seen. They're not overly special at receiver. They're

920
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: very special in the tight end room. This is not

921
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 2: a team probably with a quarterback that can do what

922
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 2: Bryce Young did last week. It's also a team that

923
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 2: doesn't need to because they can play better defense than

924
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: Alabama played last week. Some of the things we know

925
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: about them, I'm talking about more nuanced things like remember

926
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 2: back in fall or spring in summer rather when the

927
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 2: biggest storyline around Georgia was that number two cornerback battle

928
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 2: and eventually we had a guy settle in there. You

929
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 2: never know if they're a little more vulnerable there than

930
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: you realize. And they just haven't faced a team that

931
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 2: can throw the ball on them like it's theoretical. I'm

932
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,120
Speaker 2: just saying there may be some things after that in

933
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 2: a C game that we say, oh wow, I didn't

934
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: know that this whatever fill in the blank was that

935
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 2: big a deal. So the same thing with Ohio State,

936
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: and I don't frankly, I don't know when it would

937
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 2: be exposed with Ohio State, but you know.

938
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: Let's keep an eye on them.

939
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 2: They may beat Iowa this week, but struggle offensively to

940
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: make you think, ooh, down the road, when someone who

941
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: can pair a good defense with a legitimate offense faces

942
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 2: Ohio State, maybe that matters. So that's the kind of

943
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 2: stuff I'm watching with Georgia right now. I think that

944
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: Missouri game is probably a good wake up call for

945
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: him because it was just in the middle of a

946
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 2: wasteland of non competitiveness.

947
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: What do we have, Colin? We got? Oh, this is

948
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: a good question here.

949
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 2: Tanner asked, what would your perfect Saturday look like if

950
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 2: you were not in the industry? So food, tailgate, kickoff time,

951
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 2: which stadium and traditions, et cetera.

952
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: So here's what I did with this.

953
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 2: I did the version where I'm at home, so I'm

954
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 2: not at a game at all, Because if you're at

955
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 2: a game, it's pretty standard, rinse and repeat. If I'm

956
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 2: at home and I have my perfect Saturday, for me,

957
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: it's going to be way different than you guys.

958
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: So I like to get up.

959
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: About seven am, and I like to go ahead and

960
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 2: get to the gym and get out.

961
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: And then here's the important part. And this is where

962
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: you start off on the right flip.

963
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: So you got the pregame shows on I'm flipping back

964
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: and forth between Game Day and Fox, and I am

965
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 2: eating post workout breakfast, which is rare, doesn't happen the

966
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 2: other six days of the week. But we got the

967
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 2: post workout celebratory breakfast on Saturday. And I'm meandering throughout

968
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: the games. I'm watching over here on my side screen,

969
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm watching a monitor for line movement. And so in

970
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: a perfect world, on a perfect Saturday, you would have

971
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 2: your bets evenly spaced out.

972
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,560
Speaker 1: I got four of them in the noon window. I

973
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: got three more in mid afternoon. I got three more

974
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: in primetime. That is a perfect day.

975
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: Now, after you get through the opening window and you

976
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 2: start getting the second halves of those noon games, and

977
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 2: that's when you have some buddies come over, not a lot.

978
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 2: No one has a ton of friends. Don't kid yourself.

979
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: You bring your close, closest social circle m and you

980
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 2: get the grill fired up and you get ready. Ideally,

981
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: one of your buddies is the grill master, not you.

982
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: You don't need that distraction.

983
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 2: And so for the three thirty window, you've got to

984
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 2: have at least a minimum of four different kind of meats.

985
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 2: I don't ever settle for less than half a dozen.

986
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 2: They can be exotic. I got a zebra. Guy doesn't

987
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 2: come from it's not domestic zebra. But you know, you

988
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 2: can get some nice meat variety, and you get someone

989
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: else to do the grilling. Colin, settle down now. I

990
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 2: don't need people questioning me in my ear right now.

991
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 2: Exotic meats. There's a market out there for it. It's

992
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 2: a black market, but there's a market for it. And

993
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: college football Saturday only, so you get that going. And

994
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: then the three thirty window is to me, it's my

995
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 2: favorite window, but hopefully on the perfect Saturday. It's leading

996
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 2: up to a at least one heavyweight matchup in primetime.

997
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 2: And it's at this point that someone around there has

998
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 2: been running their mouth a little bit too much throughout

999
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 2: the day. You know him, I know him, doesn't matter

1000
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 2: who it is. Every social circle's got him. And what

1001
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 2: you've wanted to do is you've wanted to You've wanted

1002
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: to kind of bast him in the noon window. Then

1003
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: you want to bait him in the three thirty window,

1004
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: so that by the seven thirty and eight o'clock window.

1005
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 2: He's on tilt and he's ready to take a bet

1006
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: that's totally irresponsible and financially he cannot pay off. But

1007
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 2: you want to get him out in the deep end

1008
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 2: throughout the day. So you've got your own bets. But

1009
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 2: then you got a side bet, hopefully with someone in

1010
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 2: the room, and then you got to have it come

1011
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 2: through for you. And if my day culminates where I'm full, I.

1012
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: Got to workout in earlier in the day.

1013
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: We've had a great day of games, and I humiliate

1014
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: one of my friends by the time the Hawaii game

1015
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 2: comes on at midnight, That's.

1016
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: A perfect Saturday for me. How about you.

1017
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 2: I will look in the comments and I will very

1018
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: much look forward. And I'm not interested in your takes

1019
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: on exotic meats. Okay, I'm pretty set on that. I

1020
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 2: don't need a supplier. I'm pretty set on that eat

1021
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 2: steak and chicken be my guest. I just want to

1022
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 2: have a little variety on my Saturday. Okay, we got

1023
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 2: some added best bets. I already gave you a couple

1024
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 2: of them. We've got another one, so I got one

1025
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 2: more to add on top of the ones I just

1026
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: gave you.

1027
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: Here's what we're already on.

1028
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: Kansas State plus five, Fresno minus thirteen, Miami minus eight

1029
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: and a half.

1030
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech's underway right now.

1031
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: I don't even want to know if they're winning or losing,

1032
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 2: but we've gotten the minus three. Okay, we are adding

1033
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 2: Oregon State. I waited on this to move. We want

1034
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:27,959
Speaker 2: the Beavers minus twenty three and a half. I will

1035
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: be in the state an hour down the road from

1036
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 2: where they're playing and can't go see them Saturday. So

1037
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 2: we're taking Oregon State minus twenty three and a half.

1038
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,680

00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 2: sixty and a half Texas at Oklahoma State. That is

1041
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 2: a weather based play, That is a wind based play,

1042
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 2: and we think that number is gonna come down.

1043
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: So there are your early best bets.

1044
