Speaker 1: My name is ty Hild joining me over there. Beautiful

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: New York City, My man Dandredstein, sir, how are you?

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: It actually is beautiful today, it's been really cold.

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 2: We're recording this and this is actually important for just

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 2: your own everybody listening and their their presuppositions about what

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: we should be talking about. We're recording this on Sunday

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: the twenty second, so we're going to be recapping and previewing.

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: But if you're listening to this on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: and beyond, that's why we are not saying, oh my god,

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: I can't believe Marshall upset UCF or uh one hundred

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: to ninety eight Hawaii b YU in the in the

17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Loha Stadium, in the Sofi Hawaii.

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe it.

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: So that's why we are just doing this opening round,

20
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: recapping wise and then previewing the games that we are previewing,

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: and ty, I gotta say, are you familiar with dough fermentation?

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Dough fermentation like pizza dough, how you let it ferment

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 2: and sit to let the dough grow.

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: I am familiar with it to the extent I know

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: it happens, right, and so you let it sit and

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: it grows. You let it sit. I believe that's how

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: yeast works. But my guess is that you know a

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: lot more about this subject than I do.

29
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 2: No, not really, I would assume I don't, but I

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 2: have been trying to learn more about it, and I

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: will say after the season ended, I was ready for

32
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: a little bit of non football time, a lot of

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 2: arguments about what the postseason should be, and this scenario

34
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: of Baylor wins, in this scenario of Oregon, I was

35
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: ready for just a time to exhale. But as the

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: bowl games have begun, not unlike the sugars breaking down

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: to allow carbon dioxide and alcohol to fill up those

38
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: cells with gas. Boy, it's slowly eating away at me

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: and helping my excitement grow into a brand new feeling

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: of excitement about bull season.

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of gas in this opening Stanza here, Dan,

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna.

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of gas this opening statement. But I

44
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: went into ball season saying, wow, I don't know, it

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 2: was like four and a half games that are kind

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 2: of interesting to me. Now I'm just ready for the

47
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: Gamut tie. I needed that time to intellectually ferment about

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: ball season.

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: Give me that Capital One Bowl week baby. Capital One,

50
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, should point that out out, But yeah,

51
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: I am excited for Bowl season. We are going to

52
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: break down a handful of games. As Dan said, did

53
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: we want to do the oh my god, Nick Saban

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 1: retired bit for this show or like, just in case,

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: maybe we should pre record that and just.

56
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: Having realized he couldn't keep up with Josh gadd in

57
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: the Michigan offense and had to throw in the.

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: If it happens between now and when this show drops

59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, yeah, we may want to cover our bases,

60
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 1: but that's true. Other than that, thank you for joining

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: us here on the show. We not only are going

62
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: to recap, but we're going to preview a bunch of

63
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: other games that we need to get through. So you

64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: know the deal by now soliverble dot com slash pick

Speaker 1: locked because the bulls have started. But if you want

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600

Speaker 1: you can do so by going to soliverble dot com

72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: slash pick them. I saw after this wave of games

73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: that I am currently ranked twenty second. Look at you

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: currently ranked twenty second. But I will say that number,

75
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: that ranking is very inflated because I just went five

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: and four on the first first weekend of Kent State.

77
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: Did you have the Golden Flashes of Kent State? The

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: Golden Flashes their first win in one hundred years in

79
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: a bowl game. Did you have that down? Nope, did

80
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: not have that down.

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I did not submit my picks. I made my picks,

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: but didn't hit submit until the first game had started.

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: And I loved Buffalo, so I missed out on the

84
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: points for that one. But I also loved Utah State.

85
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: So you know, all's well that ends well, I guess

86
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: let's start.

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: On Friday, December twentieth, there were two games Buffalo won

88
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: by twenty two over Charlotte by a thirty one to

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: nine final. And the game that you were talking about,

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Kent State fifty one, Utah State forty one. It is

91
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Kent State's first bowl victory in one hundred years of

92
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: being a college football pro You believe.

93
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 2: That it's ridiculous but amazing. Nonetheless, just like their fourth quarter.

94
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Incredible fourth quarter, they score twenty five points to secure

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: the victory. Jordan Love, the guy that I know both

96
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you and I were pretty focused on, had a good

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: game as well, but just couldn't couldn't do enough.

98
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 2: Incredible dual threat effort from Dust and Crumb of Kent State.

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: I will not claim to have watched a lot of

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 2: Kent State football this season, but for them to pourt

101
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: on late like they did against a Utah State team

102
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: that took a very clear step back this season amidst

103
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: the coaching change, very cool, both for history's sake and

104
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: just for Kent State player's sake. You know, I've become

105
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: a big proponent of Bowl games are good, even if

106
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 2: the matchups aren't great to somebody from ten thousand feet away.

107
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Good for Kent State. For what was the Frisco ball,

108
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: This is the Fristco Bowl.

109
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, very cool, the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl. The

110
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: other thing here that I wanted to note about this game,

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: and it really is a strike against both of us

112
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: that we missed this guy all season long? Did you

113
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: happen to see Utah States leading receiver in this game?

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: I mean I watched the plays. I can't What was it,

115
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,559
Speaker 1: Isaiah McCoy. Nope, Siah oc Mariner? Oh sorry sorry keys

116
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: Ken States. Yeah, Mariner Dan. He had one third Mariners

117
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns on the day, So good for him.

118
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to say Ucla had a Mariner recently. All right,

119
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: anything else to say about these games.

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: About the Frisco Ball or just the games in general? Oh,

121
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: you're about those first Buffalo Charlotte. Cool to see Charlotte

122
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: make a bowl game. Obviously they did not have the

123
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: necessarily the defense to hang with Buffalo. Lancelipold obviously has

124
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: done a very good job at Buffalo. A down year

125
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: for the Bulls. I like somebody tweeted out that it

126
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 2: was some sort of weird knockoff bulls forty nine Buffalo

127
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: Bulls against the forty nine Ers NFL game, But yes,

128
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: it was. You know we talked about just briefly dust

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: and Crumb and his dual threat ability. Chris Reynolds had

130
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: a very nice season doing much of the same, but

131
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: ultimately it was it was Jared Patterson. I scrubed through

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: this game pretty quickly, and it looked like he had

133
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: the ball in his hands successfully a lot, so good

134
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: for Buffalo.

135
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: Then on Saturday the twenty first, we had Washington thirty

136
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: eight to seven over Boise in the Las Vegas Bowl. Yep.

137
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: We had app State thirty one to seventeen over UAB

138
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: in the New Orleans Bowl. We had San Diego State.

139
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Did I say it wrong? I think it's just New Orleans,

140
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: San Diego State forty eight, Central Michigan eleven in the

141
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,679
Speaker 1: unsponsored New Mexico Bowl. I don't know if San Diego

142
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: State scored forty eight points total all year. Amazing, amaze.

143
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: Save the best for last, I guess Florida Atlantic with

144
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: a big win fifty two to twenty eight over SMU

145
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: and the Boca Ratone Bowl. Arkansas State wins by eight

146
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: over FIU in the Chamellea Bowl. And finally it was

147
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Liberty twenty three to sixteen over Georgia Southern and their

148
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: option offense in the Cure Bowl.

149
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: Dan, Yes, I guess we can start with the Power

150
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: five game of the day. Washington just stomped Boise, who

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: had quarterback issues. They sort of rotated to Hank Boch. My, sorry,

152
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: it's okay, it's totally good. Defense looked incredible and there

153
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 2: were two different Washington teams this year and we saw

154
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: them comfortably beat BYU who was the one team to

155
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 2: beat Boise State before the Vegas Bowl. And Washington ran well,

156
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 2: they threw well, and most importantly, they just completely silenced

157
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: any efforts at offense from Boise. So I suppose I'm

158
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: happy for Chris Peterson to go out this way against

159
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: his former team. The Jimmy Lake era now officially begins.

160
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: Jacob Eason seemed fine. It was not a lot downfield,

161
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: but it really hasn't been the case all season long.

162
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: I don't think he threw a pick, right, No, that's

163
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 2: that's something with a way he finished his season. It

164
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 2: was cool to see. It was cool to see Washington

165
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: end things comfortably and go eight and five. If you're

166
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: a fan of the Pac twelve and Boise good Mountain

167
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: West only okay, and I'm sure missing Zach Hill, their

168
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, and you know the uncertainty at quarterback as

169
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 2: the season finished out. Wasn't the best by Washington, the

170
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: clear better team, the class of the Vegas.

171
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: Bowl, Class of the Vegas Bowl. Yeah, they hold down

172
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Boise's offense under three hundred yards. They forced three turnovers

173
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: in that game.

174
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: May have thrown a few shekels on this too. Actually,

175
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: oh good for you. I liked Washington going in as well.

176
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: The surprise to me FAU over SMU in that manner.

177
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: He saw the clip of Lane Kiffen watching with a

178
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 2: couple of I think it was coaches he brought with

179
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: him to Ole Miss but both Chris Robison, bj Emmons,

180
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: they just they stomped a SMU killed him.

181
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: They did not. It was that one coming I went.

182
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: I think I went against my points for drive theory

183
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 2: because FAU was the clear better defense in this matchup

184
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: and playing at home, and I think I looked at

185
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: FAU as an underdog because of the Lane kiff and

186
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 2: leaving situation, and I went against all of my tenants,

187
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: and I screwed up.

188
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Should have stuck to your guns, should have.

189
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: Stuck to my guns. App State big third quarter, including

190
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: a fumble return touchdown on a weird play gets them

191
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: a comfortable win over who they beat fiue, excuse me,

192
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 2: the Blazers. They beat the Blazers, which I had a

193
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: lot of confidence in and it was close at halftime

194
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: and scared the but Jesus I think was actually up

195
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: at halftime. I mentioned the San Diego State thing. Yeah,

196
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 2: fourteen to ten San Diego State, Central Michigan. I loved

197
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 2: San Diego State in this one. Nice story for Central Michigan,

198
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: but I didn't feel like their season or their team

199
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: was on the level of the Aztecs. And finally Arkansas

200
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: State FIU got close near the end, but big day

201
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 2: from Lane Hatcher, quarterback for for Arkansas State led the

202
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: way for the red Wolves. And obviously very emotional season

203
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: for Blake Anderson in Arkansas State. So cool to see

204
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: them win went out the way they did, and I

205
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 2: think they finished with eight wins, So good to for

206
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: Arkansas State.

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'd only add that Liberty's passing offense is

208
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: pretty legit. Pretty legit. Yeah, I mean they got Bowl

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: eligible in a kind of suspect, I agree, but as

210
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: a passing entity, they're pretty good. Yeah. Yeah.

211
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: The Liberty game. Was I mentioned the receiver I liked.

212
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: I think he had an okay game. Antonio Gandy Golden.

213
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean winning a bowl game is always

214
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 2: going to be a big deal. Liberty as an independent team,

215
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: had to do a little bit of schedule calculus. I

216
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: think they lost to Rutgers, but they beat U MASS.

217
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: Everybody should beat you Mass. And I want to say

218
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: they beat New Mexico State twice and won two FCS

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 2: games to get here. But hey, do what you can.

220
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: Nice postseason win.

221
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: All right, anything else to add on that first round

222
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: of games, I don't think so. I think I'm good.

223
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: This is the Bowl of Barge. It is hard four

224
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: all aboard. Let's talk about the Belk, Sun, Liberty, Arizona,

225
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: Alamo Outback, Citrus, Rose, and Sugar. Yeah, that dark foghorn

226
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: means it's time to preview. Let's deliver some other bowl games.

227
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: So today we've got, as you could hear, the Belk,

228
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: the Sun, the Liberty, the Arizona, Alamo, Outback, Citrus, Rose,

229
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: and Sugar bowls of all of these games, not including

230
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl. Since I know you have a rooting interest,

231
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 1: which one interests you the most?

232
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: Utah Texas, just the way both of those teams ended

233
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 2: the season, Utah largely in a positive way even though

234
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: they lose the backwelve championship game, and Texas trying to

235
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: figure out a new era for themselves.

236
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: Minnesota is interesting to me. Yeah, that's my answer.

237
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: Alabama Michigan. I wish we got to see two. Uh,

238
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: Georgia Baylor is gonna be a lot of defense. So

239
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 2: I think your answer is right.

240
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 1: Auburn Minnesota, I think is the ultimate, the ultimate test

241
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: of my theory of motivation in bowl games. And we'll

242
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: get to that one in a little bit here, but

243
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: let's start at the top. Let's go Belk Bowl Numero Uno.

244
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: This one played on New Year's Eve on ESPN. It

245
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: is eight and four Virginia Tech. It is seven and five.

246
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Kentucky Tech is currently a three point favorite. Now, my boy,

247
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: our boy, Lynn Bowden Junior. We already listed him off

248
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: in a previous show as having declared for the NFL Draft.

249
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: There was just this open question around around whether or

250
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: not he's going to play in this game. He's playing,

251
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: Dan is taking He's taking first team reps at quarterback.

252
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: He had a quote that I read that something like

253
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: the last impression is the best impression or whatever. He's

254
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: going out there. He's going to play quarterback. He is

255
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 1: not going to be quarterback in the NFL. But the

256
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: fact that he wants to be part of this Bowl game,

257
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: I think is pretty cool on paper. On paper, I

258
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: have no lean whatsoever here. It looks pretty dead even

259
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: I obviously like the way Virginia Tech kind of built

260
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: momentum and finally found their quarterback and got things going

261
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: in a better direction. But I am partial to Kentucky,

262
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: not just because of Lynn Boden. They played better teams.

263
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: I trust their defense more. I think it's low scoring.

264
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of defense. But I think

265
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: Kentucky wins outright. I'm not very confident. I would say

266
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: like four confidence points on this one. Two elite punting

267
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: teams tie. Yes.

268
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: If you want to become an administrator, if you want

269
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: to become a civic leader, you can become the mayor

270
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: of punt City by watching this game. So let's start

271
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 2: with Kentucky. They finished the season winning four of five.

272
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: If something's happening for this offense, as you mentioned, it's

273
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: happening on the ground with Linn Bowden, Defensively, they were

274
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: pushed around up front. You can run on this Kentucky team,

275
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: but they do get after the quarterback. They do a

276
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 2: good job in the past game defensively. And Virginia Tech,

277
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 2: they finished the season pretty well, even though they lose

278
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 2: to their rival for the first time in forever. They

279
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: finished winning three of four with that Virginia loss. A

280
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: much improved passing team with Hendon Hooker in there. The

281
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: defense looked pretty good. They gave up too many big

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: plays in Bud Foster's final season. And if there's anybody

283
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: to watch defensively in this game, I'm gonna go with

284
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 2: Ray Shard Ashby, linebacker for Virginia Tech. I have the

285
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: Hokies by seven. Here really the number of ways.

286
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: They can win. I think it's a nice bounce back.

287
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: This game is in Charlotte, correct the bel yes correct,

288
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: So I will once again recommend fudo bhuta for ramen

289
00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 2: and then anisio anitzo for pizza. Also, if you are

290
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: playing a player in this game, you get a shopping

291
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: trip to a Belk department store and a winger watch.

292
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Didn't someone get in trouble last year for trying to

293
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: steal from the Belk Department Store.

294
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: I want to say it was in the last couple

295
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,479
Speaker 2: of years an Arkansas player.

296
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: That sounds right, but somebody tried to take a little

297
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: bit more than they were supposed to. Yeah, all right,

298
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: Belk Bowl, we disagree. Disagree.

299
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: I like the Hokies, Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, Tony

300
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: the Tiger Sunboll What.

301
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Why not? How does Tony the Tiger have this kind

302
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: of cabbage to sponsor the Sun Bowl? Do you think

303
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Brute is like a Fortune ten company? Why isn't it

304
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: the Kellogg's Sun Ball Tony the Tiger, why is he

305
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: on this? Why not? If they're promoting frosted flakes, that

306
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: gets people talking. Wow, New Year's Eve CBS Arizona State

307
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: seven and five flow to State six and six, ASU

308
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: is a four point favorite. I other than having Tony

309
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: the Tiger as the sponsor, which I cannot wait to

310
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: see the commercials for this. You a frosted flakes man,

311
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm not not a frosted flakes guy. What number would

312
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: it be?

313
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 2: If you're just if you're walking through Egman's and you're saying,

314
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: damn it, if I don't need some sort of sweet

315
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: cereal to scratch an itch I have right now, what

316
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: number down or a top your sweet cereal ranking? Does

317
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: frosted flakes fall?

318
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: It's probably in the top five. I don't know if

319
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: anything could ever unseat frosted miniwheats.

320
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 2: But this is this is why we do a show together.

321
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 2: Ty yeah, Mini wheat man myself.

322
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to give more thought to it,

323
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,360
Speaker 1: but frosted flakes are up there. Sure yeah, Cinnamon toast

324
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: crunches right there. Maybe Golden Grams, Golden Grahams aren't bad. Yeah,

325
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: Golden Grahms are terrific.

326
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 2: So as it relates to this game specifically, Florida State

327
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: lost two of three to finish out the season. They

328
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: have a new coach, they have no cam Akers. Even

329
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: with cam Akers, he couldn't do enough to make them

330
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: a really good rushing team. They were only okay through

331
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 2: the air. Defensively strong against the run, which I don't

332
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: think matters all that much against what this ASU team became.

333
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 2: They were not great against the pass, which is concerning.

334
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: But on the other side, Arizona State lost four of

335
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 2: six to finish out the season with a big astrosklot Oh.

336
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: They beat a top ten team at home in Oregon,

337
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 2: but even with Eno Benjamin they couldn't really run. They

338
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: did hit some bombs in the past game, no Brandon

339
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: Ayuk in this game for Arizona State, they were really

340
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: good against the run and only okay against the pass

341
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 2: because of so much shuffling from Florida State and missing

342
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: their clear best player. I have the Sun Devils by

343
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: seven here in El Paso, a city in which you

344
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: should be dining at H and H, a car wash

345
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 2: that has excellent Mexican food. Really yeah, and players in

346
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 2: this game have access to a gift suite and they

347
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 2: will also be given a timely watch company silvertone watch,

348
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: a Majestic Pro based Least pull over, an Ogo Excelsior backpack.

349
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: Oh so okay, another Shuttle pack nonsense, a New Era cap,

350
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: and a coin.

351
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 1: What do you think The final score of this game

352
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: is twenty four seventeen. Yeah, I worry it doesn't even

353
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: get that high. Wow. I don't think these defenses are

354
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: all that good though they're not, but neither of the

355
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: offenses and Florida States without cam Akers, as you mentioned,

356
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: ASU is without Brandon Ayu, maybe without Eno Benjamin. We

357
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: haven't heard on his status yet. But what this amounts

358
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: to is to very average offenses without their best players,

359
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: and in normal circumstances that might mean a defensive struggle.

360
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: That's not really Florida State's game either, is it? So? No,

361
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: not really now, so I'm super torn here. I was

362
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: fully prepared to take FSU before the news about Cam Akers,

363
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: and I just I can't fight the feeling that Arizona

364
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: State's really overrated. Sorry, but that's how I feel. Okay,

365
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: So you know it depends on the news about Eno Benjamin.

366
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: If he is playing in this game, I will switch

367
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: over to ASU with seven confidence points. But I'm switching

368
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: it back if Eno Benjamin sits out.

369
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 2: He's out, He's not playing. I just I just looked

370
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 2: it up. According to Colin deaver Colin deaver is, I'd

371
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 2: say Colin dever TV, he is a an anchor in

372
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 2: It looks like in El Paso, Arizona State's leading receiver

373
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 2: joins the Sun Devil's leading rusher Ineno Benjamin and Florida

374
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: State leading rusher Cam Akers. This is in reference to

375
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: Brandon I, who will not play in the Sun Bowl.

376
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: Then I'm going back to Florida State, baby, Okay, take

377
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 1: it I worry that outside of Tony the Tiger being

378
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: the sponsor, the most interesting thing you can say about

379
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: this year's Sun Bowl is that it absolutely could be

380
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 1: the second coming of the two thousand and eight Sun Bowl.

381
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: And we all know what happened in that one. You're

382
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: took Oregon State, pitt, I know what happened in that one.

383
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: Three nothing Oregon State.

384
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: I have a proposition for you. I want any team

385
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: that has an interim coach because their coach left or

386
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: their coach was fired, they if they're going to make

387
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: that decision before the bowl game, which is their right,

388
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: they should be forced to be led by Barry Alvarez

389
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: in their bowl game. Barry Alvarez should be leading the

390
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: Seminoles out onto the field.

391
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: Oh Man. Also Alex Hornybrooks skipping this bull game? Right? Yeah?

392
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: Well do you think he's just skipping out? We have

393
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: a job, interviewer. What's going on there? It'd be great

394
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: if he did get a job. Okay, what a mess.

395
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Florida State. But I got seven confidence points.

396
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: That'll be seven lost confidence points right there.

397
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, going with this Florist State team. Twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen.

398
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: Someone's got to win this game, though.

399
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'm looking at the H and H car

400
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 2: wash menu right now.

401
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: It looks great. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl some chile Ver Day.

402
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Also on New Year's Eve on ESPN, it's Navy at

403
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: ten and two. It is Case State the Wildcats at

404
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: eight and four. Navy is a two point favorite. Dan

405
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: getting a zone. Who you picking here in the AutoZone

406
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: Liberty Bowl.

407
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: I think I like Kansas State. They finished the season

408
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: winning five of seven. They do everything okay. Their past

409
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: defense pretty promising. Wyatt Hubert, great double first name guy,

410
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: is an defensive end. He's been a big bright spot.

411
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: I think he was all Big twelve. They gave up

412
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: some big plays and that's Worriso in the Big twelve.

413
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 2: But this Navy team's good. They finished the season. We

414
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 2: saw the Army game. They won seven of eight. They

415
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 2: obviously run extremely well. They built the whole thing out

416
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: of Malcolm Perry. Decent enough against the run, pretty awful

417
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: against the pass. Jacob Springer, he's a bad man. Tie Yeah,

418
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 2: three sacks I think against Army, so two different teams.

419
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 2: I think Kansas State edges them out and wins this one.

420
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: It's in Memph, right, Yes, just find barbecue Rendezvous Barbecue great.

421
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 2: It's very hard to find bad barbecue in Memphis. It's terrific,

422
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: especially if you like dry rub ribs, dry rub ribs. Okay, yes,

423
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: players in this game. Bass Pro Shops, shopping trip, a

424
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 2: Bose Soundlink Color Bluetooth speaker.

425
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that a lot. Is that

426
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: a good product? I like that. Bo's is a good name,

427
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: not a sponsor, but a good name, not a sponsor.

428
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: Caravel By, Blova watch, Nike athletic shoes, sports sandals, backpack

429
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: and sunglasses, and a football so decent hall not bad,

430
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 2: not bad, I am.

431
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: I am also going to go K State here nineteen

432
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: confidence points. Oh, it is not a great matchup for them,

433
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: given the state of their rushing defense. However, after what

434
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: Chris Climan did in year one, that fantasy factory he's

435
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: building down there in Manhattan, I have a lot of

436
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: confidence in him to figure this one out, given all

437
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 1: the time he's had to prepare. So okay, yeah, give

438
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: me K State. I'm with you, we agree. Moving on

439
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: the Nova Home Loans Arizona Bowl. Yeah, this is the

440
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: weird one that's on CBS Sports Network that everyone forgets about. Yes,

441
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: you're right, New Year's Eve. Wyoming at seven and five,

442
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: Georgia State at seven and five. Wyoming is a seven

443
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: and a half point favorite. And the operative question with

444
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: this football game is what happens when a stoppable force

445
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: meets a movable object? Daniel, It's a great question, Ty,

446
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: I've always wondered at myself. That's what this comes down to.

447
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: Wyoming's offense is lousy, but Georgia State's defense is lousier.

448
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: Give me Wyoming. Wyoming beat Missoo to open the year,

449
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: so they've obviously got some bigger game experience. Georgia State

450
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: beat Tennessee, Ty the tennisance. Gimme Wyoming. Give me Wyoming

451
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: twenty points. Yeah, not even gonna think twice.

452
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: I like Wyoming by about five points. I don't know

453
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: what my confidence level is, probably tween twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

454
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 2: somewhere in there. Wyoming did lose three or four to

455
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: end this season. But all you know, Boise and air

456
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 2: Force among those, those are very good teams. Offense, as

457
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: you mentioned, kind of a mess. They degenerate some chunk plays.

458
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: Their defense is incredible against the run, not great against

459
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: the pass and Georgia State's led by Trey Barnett a

460
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 2: decent enough. I think he's a pretty good running back,

461
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:31,479
Speaker 2: so he paces the offense. So it's a nice matchup

462
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: for Wyoming. And you're right, Georgia State's defense definitely rough. Yeah,

463
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm just going to go with the cowboys here in Tucson.

464
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've ever been to Tucson, Arason,

465
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 2: they haven't lovely place. Lovely place. You can get some

466
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: good Mexican food. I've heard l Pueblito is a good

467
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: time for Mexican food in the Tucson area. Takaria Juanitos

468
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 2: as well, and enjoy yourself in Tucson if you're coming

469
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: down from altitude in a if you're a Wyoming fan,

470
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 2: if you're coming in from Georgia State. Also, the players

471
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 2: in this game have access to a gift suite, a

472
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: Herschel Supply Company Chapter travel kits, not just a backpack,

473
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: but a travel's mouth insulated beanie. It can get cold

474
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: at night in Arizona in the winter, ti you're in

475
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: the desert. Yeah, yeah, that's all all right.

476
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: And finally, on New Year's Eve, the Valero Almo Bowl

477
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: interesting matchup here h on ESPN the Utah Utes at

478
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: eleven and two, Texas Longhorns at seven and five. Utah

479
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 1: is seven and one half point favorite here, so Texas

480
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: second straight year they're in a bowl game against a

481
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: bigger opponent trying to knock off the Utes. Kyle Whittingham,

482
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: we should note, is eleven and two in his career

483
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: in bowl games. Typically, Typically Kyle Whittingham is not someone

484
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: you want to bet against come Bowl season. Utah I

485
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: think is the better team here. They are the better

486
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: things two. It does concern me Texas Tom Herman in

487
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 1: big games like this, they kind of get up and

488
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,919
Speaker 1: you never really want to count Sam Ellinger out. But

489
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: I just think Utah is better. They're evened out a

490
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: lot more than Texas. They're better on offense, they're better

491
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: on defense. I'm not supremely confident here, but I like

492
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: Utah with six confidence points. What a precipitous fall for

493
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: Utah to go from the edge of the playoff to

494
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: the alamobile I know, right. They rip off eight straight

495
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: before losing to Oregon in the Pac twelve championship game.

496
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 1: It's a team built around both offense and defensive efficiency.

497
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Bradley and I obviously a monster on the defensive line.

498
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 1: A terrific year for Tyler Huntley and Zach Moss in

499
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: the backfield. Just an all around great season for Utah.

500
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: And not that the Alamobile isn't fun. It's what New

501
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 1: Year's Eve you said. Yeah, San Antonio is a good

502
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: enough time. You go to two ms smokehouse, tie barbecue

503
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: place with some Mexican flavor. Oh, I gotta get there

504
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: at some point. It's just two teams that might be

505
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: a little bit disapp pointed to be in the situation

506
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: they find themselves in. Texas finishes losing two of three,

507
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: not a big playoffense. They deal with injuries on both

508
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Devin Duvernet is obviously terrific, but

509
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: this was you know, they get rid of their coordinators.

510
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: They're decent enough against the run. It was a rough

511
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: year against the pass. Obviously.

512
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 2: The injuries color that I have the Utes by probably

513
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: double digits here, like ten to eleven points.

514
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like them. I like them a lot here.

515
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm just not as confident as I want to be.

516
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: I think because Texas had the big Sugar Bowl win

517
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: last year. I'm afraid They're going to come into this

518
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: one fired up, but Utah is the clear better team.

519
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 1: Can I tell you about the gift package in this game?

520
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: I would love to hear Apple AirPods pro Whoa one

521
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen dollars random amount I Amazon gift card. Okay,

Speaker 2: panoramic photo.

Speaker 1: Remember the Alamo Baby. That's a hell of a gift suite.

543
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Oh my gosh, the Outback Bowl January first,

544
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: ESPN Auburn at nine and three. We've got Minnesota at

545
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: ten and two. Auburn is a seven point spread, So

546
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: I called this one out at the top. I am

547
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: supremely interested in the outcome. Who do you think wants

548
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: this game more? Who wants the game? Who is more motivated? Minnesota?

549
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: It has to be right? Yeah? Yeah, New Year's Day

550
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: game in Florida against an SEC power. Sure, here is

551
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: the struggle going on between my ears right now. The

552
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: struggle is last year, kind of acting on a whim,

553
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: I took Purdue to knock off Auburn. Perdu Yeah, Perdue

554
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: got annihilated in that Bowl game. Yeah. And my first

555
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: thought at looking at this one is that while I

556
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: shouldn't pick against Auburn again against a Big ten team

557
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: because that didn't work out so well last year, But

558
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: but I really want to take Minnesota because of that

559
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: motivation factor, because I know this game means more to

560
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: them than it does Auburn. And my rule, just as

561
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: as a practical matter is go with the more motivated

562
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: team unless it's a complete mismatch. Okay, So my follow

563
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: up question then is does Auburn's defense pose a big

564
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: enough mismatch here to at least get me out of

565
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: jail here from my own formula and go on the

566
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: Auburn side.

567
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: So they would be without Nick Coe, right Auburn, Yes,

568
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: a key piece along their defensive line. Auburn won three

569
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 2: of four. Their offense was inconsistent all year long. They've

570
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: finished strong versus Alabama. Their defense is exceptional. The only

571
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: they were the only real team to slow down LSU.

572
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 2: Derek Brown is everywhere. These are all this is all

573
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 2: old news. Minnesota did lose the season, sort of limping

574
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 2: to there. They didn't lose the season. They did lose

575
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: their what two of three? They sort of limped to

576
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: the finish line after starting nine to zero. They were

577
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: so so on the ground, terrific through the air. Then,

578
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 2: Tyler Johnson Rashad Bateman duo is not to discussed enough.

579
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 2: As far as I'm concerned. They hauled in great passes

580
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: from Tanner Morgan, who took really impressive couple steps forward. Really,

581
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: they were better against the run they were against the pass,

582
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: which is a nice thing. I guess against Auburn. I

583
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: think ultimately the Auburn defense being the thing I have

584
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 2: the most confidence in in this game. I have them

585
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 2: by like thirteen points. Really, yeah, I think they're going

586
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: to overwhelm them.

587
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: I don't think either team is as good as a record.

588
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: You think Auburn is like an eight and four team, Yeah,

589
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: seven and five? Oh man. Basically, yeah, I do think

590
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: it's close. So if you're a betting type, I would

591
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: actually go Minnesota plus the points here. But okay, I

592
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: just man, I always in trouble with Auburn. I am

593
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: going to go against myself and I'm going to take

594
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: Auburn here over Minnesota. But I think it's close.

595
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Minnesota season is at the same time impressive

596
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: and also they start the year kind of slow. They

597
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: beat up on a bunch of big ten backup quarterbacks,

598
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 2: and then things get tricky. After the Penn State win,

599
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: which was great, lose to Iowa, beat Northwestern on the road,

600
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: and lose comfortably to Wisconsin, and there is some there's

601
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: some carryover to me with the way that they played

602
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: against the Iowa and Wisconsin defenses. They didn't score twenty

603
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: I don't think in either one of those games. I

604
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: know weather an issue, but that against a similarly talented

605
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 2: and productive defense in Auburn's that has me worried.

606
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: What's the gift situation in this game? The gift situation

607
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: in the who's the Outback ball sponsor? Outback?

608
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm a dumb, dumb fossil watch, one hundred

609
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 2: and twenty five dollars Amazon gift card.

610
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: A Jostin's ring, Oh boy, an Outback steakhouse gift card,

611
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: and a hat my recommendation. I know our pal adam

612
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: Amine is a big proponent of Dats Datz for creative

613
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: sort of bar food, Latara set to any Cuban food

614
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: in Tampa's going to do you pretty well? Okay?

615
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: How do you feel about Outback though the chain, the

616
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: restaurant Outback or the actual area of Australia.

617
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: Well, I'm assuming you haven't been to the actual Outback.

618
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: I have not. I have not done a walk about.

619
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:21,760
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Outback as a chain restaurant?

620
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 2: The last time I went was probably two thousand and

621
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: sixteen seventeen, somewhere in there. They still got the good bread.

622
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 2: The bloomin Onion's delicious, but it's a lot three and

623
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 2: a half bites and you're good. I don't remember what

624
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: I ordered, maybe some fish tacos, maybe a piece of fish.

625
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 2: It was totally good. It was fine. Do do you

626
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 2: think it's amazing? Do you think it's terrible? Do you

627
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 2: have any strong opinions?

628
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: But I don't have a strong opinion on it. You

629
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: shall get it. I get a good meal there. I

630
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: haven't been in forever, but yeah, all right, Bread's still great.

631
00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: The VRBO Citrus Bowl, this one is on ABC. It's

632
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: also in New Year's Day. It is Alabama at ten

633
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: and two, it is Michigan at nine and three. And

634
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: the point spread here is only seven. Only seven, Yeah,

635
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 1: in favor of Alabama. None of the ranking systems that

636
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: I use had this one under eleven points in favor

637
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:26,720
Speaker 1: of Alabama. Okay, So if you're betting Michigan here, certainly,

638
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 1: if you're picking them out right, but if you're thinking

639
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 1: at all of betting Michigan, keep that in the back

640
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: of your mind. What you're essentially betting on here is

641
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: I guess mac Jones really crapping the bed and Michigan

642
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: some keeping it somewhat close if you pick me in

643
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: the confidence pool, close enough to win. Obviously, I don't

644
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: personally think that's likely, but that is what you would

645
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: be betting into. What to you is the case not

646
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 1: against Alabama but for Michigan, Like what has Michigan shown

647
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: this year? It's for you to say, if they're going

648
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: to beat a motivated Alabama, this is how it's shape

649
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: Patterson improving over the course of the year, figuring out

650
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: the running game a little bit more. I think what

651
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: the case is for the Michigan secondary after that Ohio

652
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: State game. Now, I think the case would be that

653
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: the Michigan defense is good enough to hold down an

654
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: Alabama offense without Tua to some degree, and their own

655
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: offense has improved enough that they can move the ball

656
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: and score points against an Alabama defense which has been

657
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: leaky at spots is here. So again, I don't really

658
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: buy that. I think Alabama is way better than Michigan,

659
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: and seven points feels extraordinarily low to me, So I'm

660
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: on Bama. Here to the tune of twenty two confidence points.

661
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: I think they're two to two and a half touchdowns better.

662
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned the number eleven. I do

663
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 2: have Alabama by eleven exactly. Really yeah, I have it

664
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: like thirty five, twenty four, forty to twenty nine, something

665
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 2: like that, and that might include a backdoor whatever. For Michigan,

666
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: they scored forty three points in their losses. Yeah, that's impressive.

667
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 2: And even if they're not super motivated, they still have

668
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 2: probably the best receiving core in the nation. And Michigan

669
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 2: did struggle against Ohio State, they did struggle at times

670
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 2: against Penn State, and I think it's going to be

671
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: an issue. And Forny Jennings on defense for Alabama is

672
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: mister Disruption. I know they're without Trevon Diggs and Terrell Lewis,

673
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 2: but this is still an Alabama defense that is good

674
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 2: enough to hold the Michigan offense in check. Michigan for

675
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 2: what they're worth, which is still I think it's an

676
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: impressive team. They finished the year winning four or five.

677
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 2: The running game actually was there for both Notre Dame

678
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: and Michigan State, but not much beyond that. I mentioned

679
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: Shape Patterson clicking later on in the season. Overall, this

680
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: defense is strong, but against you know, the top of

681
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: the top offensively, which Alabama certainly is. I don't know

682
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 2: how much you can depend on this Michigan secondary right

683
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 2: now to have enough bodies and to make enough plays

684
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: when there's just there's going to be that much in

685
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: the way of assaulting from Alabama.

686
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 1: So VRBO is what that's an Airbnb compartit?

687
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's as far as I know.

688
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a sponsor. They sponsored the Citrus Bowl gift

689
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: situation here four one.

690
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: Hundred dollars best by gift card, a watch, a Herschel

691
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 2: backpack with a luggage tag. The game is played in Orlando, Florida,

692
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: and I was I mean speaking of AsSalt. The subreddit

693
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: was not happy with me saying I didn't know anything

694
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: about Orlando food. So just go to the subreddit and

695
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 2: there are lots of people who you know, there are

696
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 2: two point five million people in this metro area.

697
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: You don't need to go to CPK, So go to

698
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 1: the subreddit to see where you should eat in Orlando.

699
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: The Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual. Yeah, granddaddy

700
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: of them all. Love it. New Year's Day ESPN Wisconsin

701
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: at ten and three, your Oregon Ducks at eleven and two,

702
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: Wisconsin a slim three point favorite. Dan, I'm assuming you're

703
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: excited that your Oregon Ducks had made the Rose Bowl,

704
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,280
Speaker 1: because that's pretty damn cool. And you know, I think

705
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: in our heart of hearts, we were hoping for a

706
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 1: Penn State Oregon mack Ver Bowl that we could talk

707
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: about here on the show. Didn't happen. But alas, this

708
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: is a pretty cool matchup to some degree contrasting styles. Yeah,

709
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: where are you at here? How you feel? So?

710
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: I went back and forth on this one. I think

711
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: Oregon plays up in big games better than we've seen

712
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: Wisconsin do it. Though Wisconsin against you know, team like

713
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: Minnesota was good. I just think Oregon's on a higher level.

714
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: They finished the year obviously, winning eleven of twelve. They

715
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: had the dumb loss to Arizona State. The offense was

716
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 2: mostly good this year. They went into a shell and

717
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: both of those losses for long stretches. The running game improved,

718
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: you know good. Justin Herbert is absolutely great. The defense

719
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 2: in particular seems to play to the moment. Kevon Thibodeaux

720
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: came along incredibly well, a true freshman off the edge.

721
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: The Wisconsin team is based on efficiency. As good as

722
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor tailback is was will continue to be, it

723
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 2: wasn't busting huge runs all the time, and so I

724
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 2: think that's a nice matchup for Oregon. Quintes Cephis is

725
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 2: the guy that can stretch the field, but I think

726
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 2: you need more to be to defense as dangerous as

727
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 2: Oregons can be. I know Wisconsin's favored here. I just

728
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: think point wise, they're gonna need to keep up with Oregon.

729
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 2: I have the Ducks by seven. I actually wanted to

730
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 2: take Oregon by one or three points something like that.

731
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 2: I just don't trust Oregon's kicking game at all, So

732
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 2: in order to win this game, I think they need

733
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 2: to win by more than that. So I do have

734
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: the Ducks by by about a touchdown in a really

735
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: fun game, something like thirty three to I'm doing math quickly.

736
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 2: Twenty six, okay, four, twenty five somewhere in that region.

737
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a really close game,

738
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: and I am excited to watch the Rose Bowl. This

739
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: is a great contest. I worry a little bit about

740
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: Wisconsin's defense, which has been really good, trying to contain CJ. Verdell,

741
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: and we've seen down the stretch here a couple moments

742
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: when Oregon has found a really effective way to deploy

743
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: his skills and he's put up some big numbers. I

744
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 1: worry a little bit here for Wisconsin that that could

745
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: be the situation they're walking into. That being said, yeah,

746
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: I also I'm curious as to can Wisconsin control the

747
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: flow of the game with Jonathan Taylor tailback. Is that

748
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: something that they'll be able to do against this Oregon defense,

749
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: which has been really good this year. I am going

750
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: to actually go on the other side of this one.

751
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to take Wisconsin. I am going to say

752
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:13,720
Speaker 1: three points in terms of confidence and three points victory

753
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: margin as well. I think it's something like thirty one

754
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 1: to twenty eight, thirty one to twenty seven, somewhere in

755
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 1: that we'll be able to take it. Yeah, some somewhere

756
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: in that realm. I think they're very evenly matched, and

757
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a strong lean one way or the other,

758
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: but I'll just take the opposite side here because they

759
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: like Jonathan Taylor tailback. You should also pay attention to

760
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: Zach Bond and Chris or Great duo at linebacker for

761
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and or missed most of the Big Ten championship games,

762
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: so hopefully he is at full health for the Oregon

763
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: game the Rose Bowl. As part of their gift package,

764
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: there is a gift suite that includes a Fossil Watch.

765
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: They also are giving away an Ogo backpack, a new

766
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: Era nine to fifty snapback adjustable hat, and you get

767
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: to go to the Rose Bowl. I think you get

768
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: to Gosneyland. It's great, he said. There's the Beef Bowl,

769
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 1: two really strong offensive lines, there's some damage. It's Lowry's

770
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: Prime Rib Tie That's where the Beef Bowl happens. I

771
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: have a lot of LA Food recommendations, but if you're

772
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:18,759
Speaker 1: staying on the East side, Marisco's Jalisco, Sonora Town and

773
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: Ricky's Fish Tacos are just tremendous. If you want other food,

774
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:24,799
Speaker 1: that's great too. I can help you out. Send me

775
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: an email or Twitter. I'm backlogged, but I'll be sending

776
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:32,800
Speaker 1: out LA Food recommendations. And finally, the last one for today, Yeah,

777
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,959
Speaker 1: on New Year's Day. It is ESPN. It's the late

778
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: game in its typical time slot. Georgia at eleven and two,

779
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: Baylor also at eleven and two. The Bulldogs are favored

780
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: by seven and a half. I should note that, at

781
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: least at time of recording here, Charlie Brewer is still

782
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: in concussion protocol, so if he did not play, that

783
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: would certainly change the complexion of this game pretty drastically.

784
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: Georgia's defense is already so damn good even if their

785
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: offense stinks. For a confidence pool, you're assuming a lot,

786
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:13,720
Speaker 1: even if Charlie Brewer is healthy, that they can generate

787
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: enough offense to score on Georgia. Certainly, without Charlie Brewer

788
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: to score on Georgia, that to me is a bit

789
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 1: of a bridge too far. So I lean pretty strongly

790
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: on the Georgia side of things, just because I think

791
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: the defense is far and away better than anything Baylor

792
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: has seen all year. The counterpoint would be that Georgia's

793
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 1: offense isn't exactly anything to write home about. They're banged

794
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 1: up out wide, Jake From hasn't had much to throw

795
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: to I love DeAndre Swift, I still love Jake From,

796
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 1: even though he's certainly seen better days. But this is

797
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: not a clash of too good offenses by any measure.

798
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 2: No, and Georgia does this is all relative. Georgia is

799
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 2: being looked at as having a disappoint offense relative to

800
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 2: the talent on hand that going to be playing in

801
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 2: the Sugar Bowl, because I think it's either I know

802
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: they're starting left tackle is not going to be there,

803
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas, he's leaving early and focusing on the draft.

804
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 2: Isaiah Wilson. I haven't seen anything definitive. There is an

805
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 2: assumption he won't be playing in this game. They're without

806
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 2: Ben Cleveland for academic reasons, also on that offensive line,

807
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 2: so sort of a new look up front for Georgia,

808
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: which is not great because that was a really strong

809
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: offensive line this year. DeAndre Swift we saw, was clearly

810
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: hampered against LSU, didn't really get on the field all

811
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 2: that much. So I don't know where points are coming

812
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,879
Speaker 2: from anywhere in that name. Just between George's struggles and

813
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 2: the health of Charlie Brewer, I think he was also there.

814
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 2: He had the most carries for this Baylor offense this year,

815
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 2: so they depended on him for so much. And whether

816
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 2: it's Gary bahanon or what was it Jacob Zeno who

817
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 2: came in and threw that long touchdown pass or passes

818
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 2: I don't know where the points are. The good news

819
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 2: for Baylor is their defense should play sort of with

820
00:45:58,520 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 2: their hair on fire.

821
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,279
Speaker 1: That's the motivated factor. Would you say that they're gonna

822
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: be pinning their ears back?

823
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: Oh my god, generating some third in California's Yeah, yeah,

824
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 2: dialing up some blitzes. Phil Snow and the Snow advisory.

825
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 2: I really like this Baylor defense a lot. I really

826
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 2: love this Georgia defense a lot. I think I'm gonna

827
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: go with Georgia close in an ugly game, Georgia close,

828
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 2: the quarterback factor seventeen, fourteen, twenty to fourteen, something like that.

829
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 2: Baylor hangs but doesn't get the job done. So I'm

830
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 2: going dogs here reluctantly, so low confidence.

831
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: I got Georgia by fourteen to seventeen. I guess I'm

832
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: taking the points though. Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. I

833
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 1: like Georgia pretty comfortably here. I think they win, I

834
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: think they cover. I just think they're better. I think

835
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: they're a better team, and some of the losses on offense,

836
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: especially along the line, will certainly be something to monitor.

837
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,359
Speaker 1: But I have bigger concerns about the Baylor offense going

838
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:01,040
Speaker 1: up against this Georgia front. So Georgia wins out right.

839
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: I got twenty four confidence points in this, Yeah, twenty four.

840
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 1: And I also think Georgia covers. The gift suite in

841
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: this one includes an Armani Exchange watch and outside of that,

842
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: the history of Bowls celebrating the good of the game.

843
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: That's a book, a New Era hat, rock them socks

844
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: that's cool, a performance hooded T shirt. I think that's it.

845
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 2: I think that appears to be at who knows what

846
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: the gift suite holds. Also, if you're eating in New

847
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: Orleans one, you can't really go wrong. There's good food everywhere.

848
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: You can go to Killer Poe Boys or Bevy for

849
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: Poe Boys, there's you know, there's seventy three amazing pole

850
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 2: boy places, Koshan Koshan Butcher. For sandwiches, it's a bummer

851
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: that it's not really crawfish season. Willie Mays though. For

852
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: fried chicken that's M A E, not M A Y.

853
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:51,399
Speaker 2: That's incredible fried chicken. But you're you're living your life

854
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 2: right if you're going to New Orleans, either for the

855
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: Sugar Bowl or for the National Championship.

856
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: Stomach wise, Daniel, that's all I got.

857
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 2: I think that's all I have is well, I've got

858
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: a lot of dough fermenting in the kitchen.

859
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: I gotta attend to doe fermenting in the kitchen, right
