If you're in the 44 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 4: New York City area, even if you're just passing through again, 45 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: details are forthcoming. 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: So be alive. 47 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 5: Okay, we've got some actual breaking news, backing news. We've 48 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 5: got a new head football coach at Florida Atlantic University 49 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 5: Dan As some have said. 50 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 2: The owl owls. 51 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: The new coach is Laying Kiffin. 52 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: Huh it is And this and thus concludes a pretty 53 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 3: exhaustive question that you've asked a lot of our guests. 54 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: How what is the over under? 55 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: What if I gave you an over under of three 56 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: and a half four and a half two and a 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: half years after Lane Kiffin was unceremoniously let go at 58 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: the tarm at Lax from USC, what is the number 59 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: of years that will go by before Lane Kiffin gets 60 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: a new head coaching job. 61 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 4: Well, that was one of the over unders, But the 62 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: big over under is still on the table. The big 63 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 4: over under is how many head coaching jobs will Lane 64 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: Kiffin have in his career? Sure, so it started. It 65 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 4: started with the Oakland Raiders. 66 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: That was one. 67 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 4: Then he moved to Tennessee that was two, then to 68 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: USC that was three. Then he got fired all right, 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 4: So the over under was always I believe five and 70 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 4: a half, all right, which means that he's got four 71 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: now with Florida Atlantic. You would assume if it goes 72 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 4: well at Florida Atlantic, there will be a fifth. The 73 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 4: question is will there be a sixth? So you're over 74 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: under five and a half still on the board. But 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: it does get interesting now as he takes his FAU job. 76 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 4: First and foremost, a ton of coaching talent in Florida, 77 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 4: because Charlie Strong's there. Now, We've obviously got Jim mcalwayn 78 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 4: who's been doing a pretty good job recruiting, though not 79 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: actually winning. 80 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: We've got Mark Richt, who is also. 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 4: In the Florida area, a lot of artillery when it 82 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: comes to the coaching side of things in the great 83 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 4: state of Florida. And also he took a pay cut 84 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 4: to get this gig. I thought the most insightful comment 85 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: of all came from our friend Stuart Mandel, who I 86 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 4: believe wrote a piece about how now at forty one, 87 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 4: Lane Kiffin gets the job that he should have had 88 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 4: at thirty one. 89 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a bad point at all, and it 90 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: would be somewhat easy to see him succeeding at a 91 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: place like FAU, if not for the fact that Charlie 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 3: Strong is now which is also breaking news officially, Yeah, 93 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: it's at USF and taking the place of Willie Taggart 94 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 3: who moved on to Oregon. Butch Davis is at FIU, 95 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 3: Jimbo Fisher, of course at Florida State, Jim Mclawaine at Florida, 96 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 3: and Miami has Mark rickt all of whom are very 97 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: good recruiters. And not to say that three star recruits 98 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: in Florida are scraps because of Florida. Three star recruit 99 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: is a significant recruit pretty much everywhere in the country. 100 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: But if there's enough talent to go around, and Lane 101 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: Kiffin is able to field a good to pretty good 102 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 3: to even very good team at FAU for the Owls, 103 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: where does he springboard? What is his Western Kentucky to Louisville. 104 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: I was thinking South Carolina. After they fire Wilmas champion 105 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: two years, he woul think he's only gonna last three years. 106 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 3: They improved that they went six and six. 107 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: Knee jerk reaction South Carolina. But it's somewhere in the southeast. 108 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to say San Diego State. Rocky Long a 109 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: sixty six mm Okay, interesting. Yeah, well we'll see. We'll see. 110 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 4: Lane Kiff and your new coach at FAU. The state 111 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 4: of Florida gets really interesting on the recruiting front. The 112 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 4: other news, and again we're recording this on a Monday. 113 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 4: We should add there are probably going to be other 114 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: news tidbits that drop now that going to FAU to 115 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 4: be head coach, some coordinator moves and things of that 116 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 4: ilk that I would imagine are going to pop up 117 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,479 Speaker 4: here over the next couple days that we might miss 118 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 4: on this show. But at least before we hit record, 119 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 4: Deshaun Kaiser did announce that he is going pro. He's 120 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 4: going to forego next season and go to the NFL. 121 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 4: I think it's a good move for him. What I 122 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: know that a lot of the guys out there, the scouts, 123 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 4: are saying no, he should get an another year in 124 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 4: college to kind of ripen a little bit more. But 125 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 4: Kaiser reminds me of a guy who's going to test 126 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 4: pretty well at the combine. He's going to do real 127 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 4: well on the wonder Lick. He's going to wow people 128 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: with his interview skills, and there's always a team out 129 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 4: there that's willing to reach on a project quarterback. We 130 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 4: saw Christian Hackenberg went pretty high a year ago, He's 131 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: still a long ways away from being a starter in 132 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: the NFL. Jared Goff went one overall, a guy that 133 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: I don't believe you or I was too high on 134 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 4: coming out of college, but he left early, went one overall, 135 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: and he's now kind of sputtering through his first year 136 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 4: in the NFL. I just feel like, if you're a 137 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: quarterback with great physical tools, if you test well at 138 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 4: the combine, someone's going to take a risk on you. 139 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: And if Matt Barkley's the cautionary tale dog, go out 140 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: and get your money before you get hurt. So that 141 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 4: combined with the fact that things at Notre Dame didn't 142 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: go all that peachy last season for him. 143 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: And I just feel like it was the right move 144 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: across the board. I did what was his best game 145 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: against a decent team this past year. 146 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 3: And I'm totally willing and I saw I don't know 147 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: if it was our Pyle Pete Sampson talking about that 148 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: the wide receiver targets that he had were something like 149 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: six to forty on contested targets like it certainly was 150 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: a step back from twenty fifteen in terms of what 151 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 3: he had out wide, But what was his best game? 152 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: I have his game log right here. Obviously there was 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: a disaster in the monsoon that North Carolina State, I 154 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: would argue was probably not even decent. Michigan State is 155 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: a three and nine team. He had a pretty good 156 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 3: game against them. Texas fired their coach and he had 157 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 3: a very good game against Texas, but they turned out 158 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 3: to be not so good. Miami was decent. Is Miami 159 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 3: the answer? Miami defense might be the answer. He dropped 160 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: a few dimes in that game. Yeah, But Virginia Tech, 161 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 3: I would would say it was somewhat disappointing. It didn't 162 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 3: complete fifty percent of his passes, and obviously that's not 163 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 3: all on him. Uh, the USC game was kind of 164 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 3: a mess. I'm going to answer and say Michigan State. 165 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 3: And I know Michigan State's not a decent team, but 166 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: in terms of how he fared in that game versus others, 167 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: it was pretty apparent about midway through that he was 168 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 3: going to have to hoist the team on his back 169 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: in order to win that game. They obviously didn't win. 170 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 3: They lost by eight, but Notre Dame came crawling back. 171 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: That was back in the early part of the season 172 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: where everyone thought Notre Dame could still have a chance 173 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 3: at salvaging the season after losing that heartbreaker to Texas. 174 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: It became apparent early in that game that it was 175 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 3: going to be kaiser or bust, and he damn near 176 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 3: did it. So for me just watching at home, the 177 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: numbers don't quite compare to some of the other games 178 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 3: throughout the course of the season, But in terms of 179 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: how important he was to his team, I think is 180 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 3: probably Michigan State. Yeah, he took a step back completion 181 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 3: percentage rating and yards per attempt from twenty fifteen to 182 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen against ranked teams. 183 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: This year. 184 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 3: He finished twelfth in quarterback rating against ranked teams in 185 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: twenty sixteen forty eighth. Yeah, so that certainly struggled at times. 186 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 3: That makes sense to me. I just I don't think 187 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 3: he trusted his line. I don't think he trusted his receivers. 188 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: Okay. 189 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 4: I think he's got some ripening that he needs to 190 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: do as a player before maybe he can grow into 191 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 4: his full potential. But I think a good move for him. 192 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: I think the time is right to part ways. And 193 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: you know, cik new beginning in the NFL. Is he 194 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 4: a first round pick. I'm not a draft expert. I 195 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 4: think he's probably got first round talent. I just don't 196 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: know if it's if it's quite there out in the 197 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 4: open yet. There's definitely room to grow. He missed a 198 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 4: lot of open guys is here. 199 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: And the future for Notre Dame ic quarterback now without 200 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 3: Shaun Kaiser on Malik Sayre, the future is Brandon Wimbush, 201 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: And behind the scenes, folks are pretty excited about Brandon Wimbush. 202 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 4: He's no competition, a true dual threat guy. I can't 203 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: imagine there'd be much competition. I think it's his job, 204 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: barring any kind of crazy injury or anything like that. 205 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 4: So we'll see which direction they take the offense now 206 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 4: with Wimbush, he's more Zaire than I think Kaiser with 207 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 4: his running ability, So you know, we'll see what. We'll 208 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: see how they tailor the offense in twenty seventeen. 209 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: What direction do you want to see the offense go 210 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: with the talent available in South Bend. 211 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 4: I want to see them get better at running the football. Okay, 212 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 4: that was a problem this year. I expected them to 213 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 4: be way better running the ball. They just they didn't 214 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 4: have it, So they got to get better at running 215 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 4: the football. If they get better at running the football, 216 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: I think that helps you unlock Wimbush as a passer. 217 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 4: He's got a cannon, right, He's got a cannon for 218 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: an arm like Ken Phelps. But you need to get 219 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 4: that running game in place first before we can really 220 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 4: utilize his entire skill set. 221 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: Okay, but your takeaway from Deshaun Kaiser's legacy his time 222 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 3: at Notre Dame net positive. 223 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: Total net positive, total net positive. He represented himself and 224 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: the university. Well, I thought he did an admirable job 225 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 4: in twenty fifteen, nearly leading Notre Dame into the playoffs, 226 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 4: and this year was just a systemic failure on a 227 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: number of different fronts. He contributed to it, but he 228 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 4: wasn't the sole reason. Okay, let's leave it at there. 229 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 4: Enough any other news for you, Dan, No, that's all 230 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: I got.

We've used Blue Apron before in 237 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 4: the past. I actually just came up to my studio 238 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: from cooking downstairs. I cooked up which makes a lovely 239 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 4: feast for the solid wife, and I walk some lettuce wraps. 240 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: What's inside some chicken lettuce wraps? Got some onions in there. 241 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: Got some other stuff that I probably am not pronouncing correctly, 242 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 4: water chestnuts. You know, siracha, I believe is the proper 243 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 4: pronunciation of it. 244 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Good job. 245 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 4: Here's my problem though, with cooking. This has long been 246 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 4: an issue I have. I never know exactly how much 247 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 4: to buy.

Colorado 337 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 4: State a thirteen and a half point favorite, now you know, 338 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 4: I look at these home game things again to reiterate 339 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 4: my formula. I'm looking first and foremost at motivating factors 340 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 4: for the teams involved in these bowl games, and then secondly, 341 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 4: I'm looking to try in front load points wherever I can. 342 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 4: That's a new and improved formula for this year. 343 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: Yep. 344 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 4: I'm inclined to say that this is a home game 345 00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 4: for Idaho. However, that's not really a thing because they're 346 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 4: three hundred miles away from the stadium here. 347 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 6: Yep. 348 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 4: Idaho's a big state. It's like five and a half 349 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 4: hours away. So it's a home state game, which I'm 350 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 4: going to say is like half credit. If that's cool with. 351 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: You, that's great by me. 352 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 4: Idaho's played well down the stretch. They've won their last 353 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 4: four games. The question, though, is the competition. The competition's 354 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 4: been a little suspect, not so much for Colorado State. 355 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: They've played way. 356 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 4: Tougher competition this year, and according to the SMP, Colorado 357 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 4: State's like the twenty third best team in the country. 358 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 4: That puts them ahead of teams like Virginia Tech and 359 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 4: pitt in Houston and Notre Dame, which is twenty fifth. Somehow, 360 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 4: just forget about that and nothing's perfect. Do you have 361 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 4: a leaning here, Dan? 362 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: I do like the Rams. 363 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 3: I do like Colorado State, and not a lot of 364 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 3: people in the football world like rams right around now. No, No, 365 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 3: Colorado State hugely improved on offense, especially at the end 366 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: of the season. If you paid a little bit of 367 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 3: attention to Nick Stevens, the Colorado State quarterback, they finished 368 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,159 Speaker 3: season winning four or five. They dropped sixty three a 369 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: very good San Diego State defense. They beat New Mexico 370 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: Bowl team, a really good offense of New Mexico. The 371 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 3: Colorado State defense isn't great, particularly versus the run, but 372 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 3: here's the problem Idaho. While that they're Bowl eligible as 373 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 3: a Sun Belt team, everything is very weird in Idaho 374 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 3: and Idaho under Paul Patrino they have the best passing 375 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 3: offense in the Sun Belt. But I don't think defensively 376 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: Idaho is there, especially giving up bigger plays. I like 377 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: Colorado State big, something like forty four to twenty one. 378 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. 379 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 4: I don't think it favors Idaho on offense or defense. 380 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 4: From what it's worth, my hunch is that this game 381 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 4: means a lot to them being so it is an 382 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 4: in state kind of thing. So it wouldn't surprise me 383 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 4: if they cover thirteen and a half. 384 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 3: Potentially they're second to last FBS Bowl game in a 385 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 3: long time. 386 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. 387 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: So yeah, I just feel like Colorado State's got got 388 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: a little too much. So I'm gonna do we agree, 389 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 4: We do agree. I'm gonna go Colorado State thirty nine points. 390 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 3: Dan, and the players in this game will be going 391 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: to a gift suite. They'll be getting a backpack tie 392 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 3: is your prediction? Oaklear Ogio gonna go both. It is 393 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 3: just Oakley, a beanie, a football, and proof eye wear sunglasses. 394 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:13,919 Speaker 3: So they'll be walking away from this. 395 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:14,239 Speaker 2: All right? 396 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: You ever been to Bois? I haven't been to Boise. 397 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: I've heard great things though. 398 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 3: I've been to Boise a few times. It's a it's 399 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 3: a pretty fun town. It will dawn on you after 400 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 3: a little while you're like, oh, this is Caucasia. This 401 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 3: is as far as the eye can see, it is Caucasia. 402 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 3: So there is that element. But other than that, it's 403 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 3: a it's a good enough place. 404 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough. So we're both going to Colorado State. 405 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 4: I don't know if you're prepared to give like an exact, 406 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: an exact readout of where your confidence points are. 407 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 3: On all these games. I don't have it in front 408 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 3: of me. I'm gonna take a picture. 409 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna I'm gonna snapchat out this little grind that 410 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 4: I've drawn, which is a mess. 411 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: But level of confidence here? Are you very? Are you medium? 412 00:20:58,760 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: Are you low? Confident? 413 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 3: I am upper? I'm pretty confident in Colorado State here? 414 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: Okay? That works? Popeyes Bahamas bowl mm hmm. Your Popeyes 415 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: chicken fan. 416 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: I mean not like I am for Blue Apron, but 417 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 3: my Popeyes fan. Ah. Yeah, I don't really go to 418 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 3: I don't really go to fast food. Places all that often. 419 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 3: But if somebody presented me with a bag of Popeyes 420 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: right now, I'd be pretty happy. I like Popeyes, like 421 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,199 Speaker 3: Chick fil A my number one in terms of just 422 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 3: a chicken, tender fry and biscuit order. Maybe Bojangles, Bojangles 423 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: and maybe Bojangles. 424 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 4: I feel like this is the next frontier for me 425 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,439 Speaker 4: because obviously I like fried chicken. Mm hmm, no problems 426 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 4: with fried chicken. I'm fairly limited though, in terms of 427 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 4: what I've actually had a chance to try. There is 428 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 4: a Popeyes nearby, but mostly my my chicken experience has 429 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: been Chick fil A. I don't even know if that's 430 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 4: considered the same category here. 431 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: But Popeyes is very good. 432 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: Haven't been to Popeyes. I have been to Crowns Fried Chicken. 433 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 4: You ever hear Grounds Fried Chicken? No, absolutely not. Crowns 434 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 4: Fried Chicken, I believe is an establishment in the Philly area. 435 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 4: And we talked about our late night drinking endeavors after 436 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 4: the Pisman ceremony. 437 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: I had a little bit of. 438 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 4: A late night adventure at a Crowns Fried Chicken. They 439 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 4: have like ninety four fast meals on the scrolling marquee 440 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 4: behind the registrate. I've never seen anything like it. I'm 441 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 4: wondering if anyone out there has had a similar experience. 442 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,360 Speaker 4: Not really good chicken, but the menu slash ordering experience 443 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 4: is unique. 444 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: We'll say, what does that mean unique? 445 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 4: It means they've got every possible permutation available by a 446 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 4: number code behind the register. It's a little confusing. 447 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: After a few drinks, you know who, I really like Ty, 448 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 3: and then we'll get to the game. I really like canes, canes, Yeah, yeah, 449 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 3: raising canes the chicken tender chains never had it. Oh really, 450 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 3: it's a focus on tendo's and good sauces. You can 451 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 3: get like a hunt tendos in a bag and just 452 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 3: go crazy, really good. 453 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 4: All right, Well, speaking of fried chicken, Popeye' Bahama Bull 454 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: Nasau Bahamas Thomas Robinson Stadium. I don't know much about 455 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 4: either of these teams. 456 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest. It's Odiu's first ball ever, Odius. 457 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 4: It is, I believe, Eastern Michigan's first Bowl since nineteen 458 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 4: eighty seven. 459 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 3: They've been trashed for quite some time. I don't know 460 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 3: a whole lot about either of these teams. I'm not 461 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 3: even gonna pretend we're all friends here. Anything that I 462 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 3: would say at this point would be disingenuous. 463 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 4: All I know is this All Dominion's got a pretty 464 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 4: good offense. And for Eastern Michigan, they've got a quarterback 465 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 4: named Brogan Roeback Brogan, and if you abbreviate their name, 466 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: it's EMU. 467 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: This is true. They improved on defense this year. They're 468 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,359 Speaker 3: a decent passing team. EMU is they're an Ipsilante. I 469 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 3: went to a very bad strip club in Ipsilante many 470 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 3: many years ago after on my Yes I tour guide 471 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 3: days and it was very strange. I have ODU here 472 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 3: forty five forty and that is even. And I look 473 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 3: this up. How many teams with a winning record has 474 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 3: Old Dominion played this year and they're to reach their 475 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 3: first ever Bowl game? 476 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Four? 477 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 3: That'd be two teams whoa two teams with a winning 478 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: record FBS teams excuse me, with the winning record, So 479 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 3: there is that element to listen. I'm not going to 480 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 3: sell them short. Getting to a bowl is a thing, 481 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 3: getting to your first ball.

Absolutely, but I'm telling you 507 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 4: it's a wonder of science. I don't know how they 508 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 4: figured out how to do that. I got one at work. 509 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: It's awesome. 510 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Locky Martin, arm Forces Ball Wow, Fort Worth. 511 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: Texas m G. 512 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 4: Carter Stadium. Navy nine and four versus Louisiana Tech eight 513 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 4: and five. This one's a pick them, Yes, pick them. 514 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of reason to like Louisiana 515 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 4: Tech in this game. First off, you've got Navy's Will Worth, 516 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 4: who broke his foot and is out for the year. 517 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 4: He was their quarterback, their best player. He did an 518 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 4: impressive job taking the baton from Keenan Reynolds, who was 519 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 4: all world everything a year ago. They've also got Tonio 520 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 4: Gully I believe is how you pronounce his name. He 521 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 4: was a slot back. He's done for the year as well. 522 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 4: They're going to feel that loss in the run game. 523 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 4: Plus Nav's lost to in a row, both to Temple 524 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 4: and Army. On the other side, I think we've got 525 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 4: a Louisiana Tech team that I'm gonna end up picking here. 526 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 4: They closed out the year by losing the Southern Miss 527 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 4: and Western Kentucky. They actually beat Western earlier in the 528 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 4: year in a shootout. The beat on them, I think 529 00:26:58,440 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: is that they're gonna score a ton of points and 530 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 4: give up a ton of points. Yeah, it's not anything 531 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: new for Louisiana tack. That's sort of the team they've 532 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 4: been for a while now, right. 533 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 3: That is correct. Their run defense is actually pretty good. 534 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 3: They got run on by wku now who doesn't have 535 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 3: their coach, but consistently in that game. Otherwise they've been 536 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 3: very good against the run at least, and maybe he's 537 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: not going to throw the ball a ton, especially not 538 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 3: without will Worth. LA Tech two fourteen hundred plus yard 539 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 3: receivers from Carlos Henderson and Trent Taylor. That is not 540 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 3: a usual thing, so good on them and quarterback Ryan Higgins. 541 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 3: A big year late season swoon plus the injured quarterback 542 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 3: kind of feels like this is the game. Navy just 543 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: doesn't want to be there, and that paired with the 544 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 3: fact that they have the worst pass defense in the 545 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 3: American I like LA Tech here by double digits. I'm 546 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,480 Speaker 3: going thirty seven to twenty four. LA Tech, whoa pretty 547 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 3: confidently okay like upper middle damn in Mike pool. 548 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 4: I'm going La Tech here too. I don't have nearly 549 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,919 Speaker 4: as much confidence in the pick, but I feel like 550 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: the combination of Navy's best player being out with really 551 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 4: a bad pass defense against a good passing offense like 552 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 4: Louisiana Tech. I am going to take La Tech to 553 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: win here. I'm going to say seven confidence points. Okay, 554 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 4: what's the gift situation? 555 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: Looking like? 556 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 3: I just looked it up because there's a product I'm 557 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 3: not familiar with, and I don't know how I feel 558 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 3: about it. It is gift sweet obviously. Finn Rod's Festive 559 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 3: Weere holiday sweater, Finn Rod's Finn Rod f I n 560 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,120 Speaker 3: R O find. It's like it's Neon with snowflakes and 561 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 3: snow snowmen and it's a very I'm not seeing the 562 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 3: exact sweater, but it is. It is is weird, it 563 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 3: is colorful, it is loud, and. 564 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: See that's just trying. That's trying a little too hard. 565 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: You get a football and a beanie on top of that. 566 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 3: I think Lockheed Martin, for all the cash that they 567 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 3: appear to have, do a little bit better, do a 568 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 3: little bit better. You're building fighter fighter jets. Take some 569 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 3: of that cash not as many as they used to, 570 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 3: but not as many. Yeah, okay, huh. Speaking of being frugal, Dan, 571 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: let's go to the Dollar General Bowl. I love a 572 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 3: good Dollar Store by the way. Yeah me too, Dollar Store, 573 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 3: Yeah me too. 574 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 4: Dollar General Bowl in Mobile, Alabama and lad People Stadium. Friday, 575 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: December twenty third, eight pm on ESPN. We've got the 576 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 4: Troy Trojans at nine and three. They are a three 577 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 4: and a half point favorite against the Ohio Bobcats, who 578 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 4: finished the year at eight and five. 579 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: Dan, We've been pretty high on Troy this year, haven't 580 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: we love Neil Brown and the Trojans? Yeah? How you 581 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: feel about this game? 582 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 3: I think I actually may like Ohio a little bit 583 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: more than Troy after the app State win. They won 584 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 3: that game twenty eight, twenty four. Late, they had a 585 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 3: letdown situation which they just sort of got trounced by 586 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 3: Arkansas State. But they're the thing about the Trojans is 587 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 3: they're pretty good at everything. They're not great at any 588 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: one thing, but they're good at being not bad, if 589 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 3: that may sense. Ohio improved a ton on defense this year. 590 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 3: Their run defense was actually like lockdown, lights out, really 591 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 3: really good. Pass defense was all right. If you remember, 592 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 3: Ohio made it to the MAC Championship game and stayed 593 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: with Western Michigan, which is not an easy thing to 594 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 3: do in twenty sixteen. And the big thing is Ohio 595 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 3: is excellent in the red zone and Troy not so 596 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 3: good in the red zone. So offense was a struggle 597 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: for Ohio. But if you remember about Ohio as well, 598 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 3: they were net connected with Tennessee early on in the 599 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 3: season in Knoxville. So they play well they come to play. 600 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Ohio here outright. I think they 601 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 3: upset the Trojans twenty four to twenty. We've been hanging 602 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 3: around too much. Big statement in lad peeples tie. 603 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 4: We've been hanging around too much. Who didn't almost beat Tennessee, 604 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 4: by the way, that's true, fair. I don't know how 605 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 4: much of a badge of honor that is. But still 606 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 4: they beat Toledo, which is a good win. They hung 607 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 4: tough with Western Kentucky. I think in terms of on 608 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 4: field product, both teams have played like garbage over the. 609 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: Last month of the year. Look at what both of 610 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: them have done. 611 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: Neither one has been impressive throughout the course of November. 612 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 4: For Troy, though, it's been a fairly drastic drop off, 613 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 4: and I think that's what scares me most. 614 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: Here. 615 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 4: I am gonna side with you. I am taking the 616 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 4: Bobcats to win this one outright, but I am not 617 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 4: uber confident in it. I'm gonna say six confidence points here. Okay, 618 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 4: give me the Bobcats. 619 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm right around there myself. 620 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 4: So the question is, though, is this gift suite from 621 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 4: Dollar General better than the gift suite from the people 622 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 4: that make fighter jets and the like? 623 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 1: Without questions? Y? 624 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 3: Really, we're talking about a leather Duffel bag. Okay, great, 625 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 3: you're going away for a weekend. You going to overnight trip, 626 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: wonderful leather Duffel bag, Pure Boom wireless headphones. Have I 627 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 3: heard of pure Boom? I have not, but wireless headphones? 628 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: Sure? 629 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a good enough gift. A Wilson 630 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 3: Souvenir game Ball, RTIC soft pack forty cooler. 631 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: See that's the thing. That's what I was telling you about. 632 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: Oh that is the Arctic Yeah, the vacuum see Arctic. Oh, 633 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: I get it. 634 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,280 Speaker 3: Art okay, artic okay, and a Timely Watch company watch. 635 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: See that's a pretty good stock up there. 636 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 3: I'm totally good. I would rather go to the Dollar 637 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 3: General Bowl? 638 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: Where is this? One? More time? Dollar General Bowl was 639 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: in Mobile, Alabama? Nice town. 640 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 3: Okay, Now, I'd rather go to four Worth than Mobile, 641 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 3: but I'd rather have this gift bag. 642 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely Dollar General doing it up. Good for them? 643 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: Yes, all right? 644 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 4: Christmas Eve eight pm on ESPN, We've got Hawaii at 645 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 4: home in the Hawaii Bowl in Hawaii in a Loja 646 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 4: stadium against Middle Tennessee State. So Hawaii went six and seven. 647 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 4: Middle Tennessee went eight and four. 648 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: I like Hawaii. 649 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: I root for Hawaii. They beat Air Force this year, 650 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 4: which was a nice win. They also played a surprisingly 651 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 4: brutal schedule. True, this concludes all the niceties I have 652 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:06,840 Speaker 4: to say about Hawaii football this year. 653 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: Oh man, really that's it? Okay? 654 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: Well, ty, I know the people are clamoring for some analytics, 655 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 3: and let me tell you something. Hawaii top twenty and 656 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 3: offensive and defensive touchdowns per playment. 657 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: Throw that out the window. 658 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: No, absolutely, not touchdowns per play. It's simple. You want 659 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: a touchdown. You want to be efficient scoring touchdowns and 660 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 3: preventing them. That's that's fine. The Hawaii offense is nothing special. 661 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: The defense was decent enough against the pass, which is 662 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 3: good news. Brent Stockstill, who broke his collarbone, I think 663 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 3: earlier on in November, maybe back for Middle Tennessee, h 664 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: not Middle Tennessee State tie. Middle Tennessee. Excuse me, Middle Tennessee. 665 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 3: Hawaii was good enough in the red zone. Middle Tennessee. 666 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 3: It's a really good offense if you remember the name 667 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 3: my Tavius Mathers, who transfer from Mole miss had a 668 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 3: very nice season for Middle Tennessee. I'm gonna go with 669 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 3: mt I'm going with Middle Tennessee thirty to twenty seven 670 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,520 Speaker 3: and a nail bier far far away from I think 671 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 3: it's Murphy's bro in Hawaii. 672 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: I think they take it. 673 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,240 Speaker 4: What concerns me a little bit is that Middle Tennessee 674 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:16,560 Speaker 4: played their best game of the year back in September. Yeah, 675 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 4: and ever since then it's sort of been a story 676 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 4: of diminishing returns. They fought Western Kentucky, the only lost 677 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 4: by one. They beat Missouri, which is a win over 678 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 4: an SEC team. Great, fine, but you mentioned they lost. 679 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,239 Speaker 4: Brent Stockstill will have to wait and see on his front, 680 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 4: and it's been a bit of a struggle bus on 681 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 4: offense all throughout November. They did close out the year 682 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,560 Speaker 4: by hanging seventy seven on FAU, which I think is 683 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 4: a nice sign if we're examining trends here moving into 684 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 4: Bowl season. I still like Middle Tennessee. I'm not as 685 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 4: high on them as I expected to be when I 686 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 4: just kind of looked at this matchup from Afar, when 687 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 4: I actually dug in, I wasn't as gung ho on 688 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:02,279 Speaker 4: Middle Tennessee. But if it were a situation where I 689 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 4: felt like they were packing it in, maybe I'd be 690 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 4: swayed to go Hawaii. 691 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: I just don't. 692 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case here. I think this 693 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 4: is a story of a team learning to play with 694 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 4: a freshman quarterback, and they have been getting better through 695 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 4: that process. So I'm reasonably confident here. Not as confident 696 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 4: as I expected to be, but still confident enough that 697 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 4: I'm gonna know the big guns. 698 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: Let's go thirty four points? Wow? 699 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 4: Are they still the Blue Raiders? I believe, so give 700 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 4: me thirty four in the Blue Raiders Dog. 701 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: Yeah. 702 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,760 Speaker 3: I wonder if Hawaii players are going to be tired 703 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 3: from having no benches in the fourth quarter the third 704 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 3: quarter of that game at this point and it should 705 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 3: also be noted, here's something that's great about this game, 706 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 3: the whatever it's called, the Hawaii Bowl. 707 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: I've gone to warmer. 708 00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 3: Places, beachside places, and I've forgotten bathing suits because I 709 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:56,399 Speaker 3: didn't think I was going to go to the beach. 710 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 3: Then we ended up at the beach. Guess what, the 711 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 3: Hawaii Ball They've got you covered. So we're talking about 712 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 3: an electronics gift, Sweet Oakley backpack, Wholebrook sunglasses, A Tory 713 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 3: Richard a Loha shirt. I just looked it up. Tie 714 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 3: Tory Richard, Tory Richard a Loha shirt. The shirt is 715 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 3: just a dad's shirt as hell, but it's as far 716 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 3: as those go, it's pretty sharp. I gotta tell you, 717 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 3: it's pretty sharp. A beach towel, pro athletic swim trunks 718 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 3: and team performance gare So they've got you set for 719 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,280 Speaker 3: your for your time off in Hawaii. Hmm, okay, Sunglasses, 720 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 3: beach towel, Wyan shirt. See, at least it's like a 721 00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 3: Thematic utility gift bag. The Lockheed Martin sweater to me, 722 00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 3: is perplexing. Come on now, maybe they're maybe they're cutting CTHS. 723 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, seems weak to me. All right, 724 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: all right, uh Saint Petersburg Bowl. Oh okay. Was this 725 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: the game that people were urging us to try and sponsor. 726 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 1: I don't think it's too late. 727 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 6: Tie. 728 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: We can call it the Nioki. 729 00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,000 Speaker 4: Bowl, the Yuckey Ball, or the Bowl of niok There 730 00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 4: you go, Saint Petersburg Bowl in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

No Miami started the 741 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 3: season oh and six. I'm a dumb person, Ty, Miami 742 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 3: of Ohio started oh and six, and they finished six 743 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 3: to zero to get ball eligible at six and six. Again, Ty, 744 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 3: I know what you're saying. Give me some d analytics. 745 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 3: I got them for you. 746 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:53,799 Speaker 2: Ty. 747 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,800 Speaker 3: Thank you to another top twenty both offense and defense 748 00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 3: in terms of improvement touchdowns for And this is where 749 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 3: I turn the floor over to you. Tell me about 750 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 3: your favorite Gus Raglan interception this year. 751 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,319 Speaker 1: Ty, that's because there were none, Dan, there were zero. 752 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,320 Speaker 3: There were zero Miami of Ohio interceptions. But they cannot 753 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:14,839 Speaker 3: run the ball. 754 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 4: So they can't run the ball. But your favorite stat 755 00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 4: about them starting zero to six and finishing six and zero. 756 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 4: A big part of that turnaround story is because of 757 00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 4: that quarterback change to Gus Raglan. He's a sophomore. He 758 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 4: played the last six games, completed sixty two percent of 759 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,959 Speaker 4: his passes through fifteen touchdowns to zero interceptions. 760 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: Hell of a job by him, Hell of a job 761 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,160 Speaker 1: by Chuck. 762 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 4: Martin, kind of keeping this thing together and getting Miami 763 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 4: Ohio even to a bowl game. 764 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: I believe they are motivated. 765 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 4: I don't see how you could see it differently after 766 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 4: they won their last six games. 767 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: Clearly though, this is going. 768 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 4: To be a challenge for them going up against a 769 00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 4: guy like Nick Fitzgerald. Yes, I think he takes over 770 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 4: this game. Ultimately, think they win. If I'm betting the 771 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 4: points spread here, twelve and a half feels like a lot. 772 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 4: I could see Miami Ohio fighting the Bulldogs here for 773 00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 4: a while, But the best player on the field is 774 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 4: going to be Nick Fitzgerald. And especially with a team 775 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 4: like Miami Ohio, which is so one dimensional still against 776 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 4: an SEC team, I don't think that bodes well. So 777 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,800 Speaker 4: I'm gonna unload again and I'm going to say thirty 778 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 4: one points. I don't know why I'm doing that, but 779 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,239 Speaker 4: thirty one points here Mississippi State, lock it up. 780 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 3: Wow, you're not about that for education, Fred Ross, You're 781 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 3: not about a J. 782 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: Jefferson. J Jefferson might be the best player on the field. 783 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 4: To me, I do like a good freeducation, But I 784 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 4: still think miss Gerald is the is the X factor here, Ty. 785 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 3: This podcast is about many things, and not the least 786 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 3: of which is inspiration. And did Mississippi Mississippi State let 787 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 3: not getting to six wins stop them from getting to 788 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 3: a bowl game? 789 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 1: No it didn't. 790 00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 3: I ask you that type did Mississippi State. And this 791 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 3: is for the kids out there, all the kids out 792 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 3: there who think that you can't post the worst SEC 793 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,360 Speaker 3: pass defense and still. 794 00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: Get to a bowl game. Nah, absolutely not. 795 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 3: Do not think like that, because here is Mississippi State 796 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,680 Speaker 3: completely unable to stop anyone from passing on them. After 797 00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 3: many DZ takes off from Miami and they hire Peter Sermon. 798 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: They still get to a bowl game. They still get 799 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:21,080 Speaker 1: to Saint Pete. 800 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Misssippi State here by seventeen eighteen points. 801 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: I have at thirty eight twenty. 802 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,719 Speaker 4: Thirty eight twenty Okay, Yeah, what's the gift situation in 803 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 4: Saint Petersburg? 804 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 1: So A J. 805 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,959 Speaker 3: Jefferson and the fre Education will be receiving a trip 806 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 3: to a gift suite.

This one 838 00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 4: I think is neck and neck with Florida Iowa for 839 00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 4: worst bowl game of the year. 840 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 3: It really shocks that not only are both Maryland and 841 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 3: Boston College Bowl eligible, but they play each other like 842 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 3: we're quarantining this technicality. Do you have nice things to say? 843 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 1: I mean, this. 844 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 4: Game is really evenly meshed, and it's not this it's 845 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,680 Speaker 4: not a badge of honor. But seriously, they've got identical 846 00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:55,760 Speaker 4: records in the S and P plus Maryland I believe 847 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,520 Speaker 4: is eighty seventh and BC is eighty eighth. The point 848 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:04,600 Speaker 4: spread as this one damn near a pick'm these teams 849 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 4: deserve each other. 850 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 3: Okay, it's they're the worst of bowl games. They deserve 851 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 3: each other. It's a very equally matched contest. I'm gonna 852 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 3: take Boston College. I don't feel great about it. It's 853 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,560 Speaker 3: like a one confidence point kind of thing. I just 854 00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 3: believe the best entity in this game is going to 855 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,760 Speaker 3: be their defense, and I'm willing to wager one single 856 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 3: solitary point on it. So do you foresee a bunch 857 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 3: of guys acting like dudes? 858 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 1: I believe? 859 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I'm gonna go with Maryland. They didn't take 860 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,279 Speaker 3: really huge steps forward or back. It was kind of 861 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 3: an atrocious season. They ran the ball all right at times, 862 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 3: especially early on, but that was about it. Boston College 863 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,080 Speaker 3: got way worse defensively. 864 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,080 Speaker 1: Without Don Brown, they got way orse. 865 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,359 Speaker 3: They got a little bit better on offense just by 866 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 3: not having everybody go down with charred bones. I'm gonna 867 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,760 Speaker 3: go Maryland twenty one to seventeen. 868 00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 1: Twenty one seven. That's a lot of points for this game. 869 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 3: A lot of points for this game. And listen, Detroit 870 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,680 Speaker 3: is not the sexiest destination to go in the middle 871 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,880 Speaker 3: of winter, at the beginning of winter. But I had 872 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 3: a pretty good time in Detroit a few months ago. 873 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,479 Speaker 3: And you know what, at the very least, they're gonna 874 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 3: be walking away with a bunch of stuff because they 875 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 3: feel bad that they're sending people to Detroit. Two hundred 876 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 3: dollars Best Buy gift card, JBL headphones, life size fat 877 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,400 Speaker 3: head decil for each decal for each participant of his 878 00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,640 Speaker 3: own likeness, sweet, a hoodie, a winter hat, Rock Them Apparel, socks, 879 00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:34,319 Speaker 3: a backpack, and a vintage football.

Zaxby's. 1019 00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,800 Speaker 4: Heart of Dallas Bowl, Dallas, Texas Cotton Bowl Stadium, Tuesday, 1020 00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 4: December twenty seventh, at high noon on ESPN, it is 1021 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 4: the Army Black Knights against the North Texas Mean Green 1022 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 4: Army seven and five North Texas five and seven. Army 1023 00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 4: a nine point favorite. 1024 00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 8: Dan. 1025 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:57,520 Speaker 4: It's going to be their second Bowl appearance since nineteen 1026 00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,640 Speaker 4: ninety six. Dan, it's up against a team that I 1027 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:05,080 Speaker 4: feel is ill equipped to handle the Army rushing attack. 1028 00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 4: So I'm heavy Army. I'm heavy to the tune of 1029 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:13,279 Speaker 4: thirty seven confidence points, Dan, lock them up? Wow, yeah 1030 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,839 Speaker 4: really yeah, yeah? 1031 00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,320 Speaker 3: I think I think Army wins this game. North Texas 1032 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,880 Speaker 3: a good story. First year coach comes over from North Carolina. 1033 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,960 Speaker 3: North Carolina's own offense, losing Seth Latrelle took a bit 1034 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,839 Speaker 3: of a step back at times. They've improved, but they're 1035 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 3: still sort of underwhelming everywhere. It's going to take a 1036 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,960 Speaker 3: little bit to get better. Army can certainly run. We 1037 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 3: just saw what they could do against Navy, and they 1038 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,759 Speaker 3: stopped the pass relatively well enough. So I think I 1039 00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,359 Speaker 3: like Army as well by a couple touchdowns. I'm gonna 1040 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:45,280 Speaker 3: say twenty eight to fourteen something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay. 1041 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:49,080 Speaker 3: It says gift suite a football, and I don't understand 1042 00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,080 Speaker 3: why they're not giving away tends, but whatever, this is 1043 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,919 Speaker 3: where I think, and this is an unpaid advertisement that's 1044 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 3: about to happen. They're giving away an Amazon Echo dot. 1045 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,160 Speaker 3: Oh you own one of these and you like it? 1046 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:02,680 Speaker 1: Correct? 1047 00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,000 Speaker 3: I don't know if I should spill the beans on 1048 00:53:05,040 --> 00:53:07,120 Speaker 3: this or not. Okay, just tell me what you think 1049 00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 3: of the products first. The product is awesome. 1050 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 1: Okay. 1051 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,160 Speaker 4: We also may or may not have a solid verbal 1052 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,160 Speaker 4: college football news briefing that will be available. 1053 00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,279 Speaker 1: Nice.

And I've been to every game since. 1113 00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:19,680 Speaker 8: The kids who play in this game, in nine hundred 1114 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 8: and ninety nine cases out of a thousand will not 1115 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 8: play in the NFL.

I've had many the kids I wrote about 1124 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,359 Speaker 8: have been to Iraq, have been to Afghanistan. One of them, 1125 00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,320 Speaker 8: Kevin Norman, who was a punter at Army, died overseas. 1126 00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:57,080 Speaker 1: So it's different than any other game. 1127 00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,800 Speaker 10: Do you have like a preference, maybe a bias Army Navy? 1128 00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,359 Speaker 10: Do you go one way or the other? 1129 00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,240 Speaker 6: You know, I'm really torn between the two, to be honest, 1130 00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,759 Speaker 6: because my football mentor was actually the head coach at 1131 00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 6: Army in the mid nineteen seventy He's a man named 1132 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,800 Speaker 6: Homer Smith. He was the head coach there from nineteen 1133 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:18,320 Speaker 6: seventy four to nineteen seventy eight, and I ended up 1134 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 6: being a graduate assistant at Alabama under coach Smith followed 1135 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,920 Speaker 6: him to UCLA, and ninety percent of what I know 1136 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 6: about the game I learned from Homer Smith. Most people 1137 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,280 Speaker 6: think it would come from Bill Belichick or Nick Saban, 1138 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:34,440 Speaker 6: because I worked with those two gentlemen at the Browns 1139 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 6: right after my time with Coach, But really, Homer Smith 1140 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 6: was my number one mentor. 1141 00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,320 Speaker 12: We were in the car on Thanksgiving and we were 1142 00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,240 Speaker 12: driving to my parents' house or my sister's house, and 1143 00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:48,160 Speaker 12: I was talking to the two oldest boys.
