Seaton, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.399 would you recap the pole questions from the first two 0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.759 hours of this program? 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.640 Yeah, we got up there right now. You'd love to 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:19.640 see Philip Rivers play great or poorly? I want to 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.640 know who the thirteen percent of the audience are that 0:01:21.680 --> 0:01:24.240 said poorly. Why are you rooting for him to play poorly? 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.039 I'm rooting for him to play. You know. If he 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:33.119 plays well, great. 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.520 If he doesn't play well, I'm not going to be surprised, 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:36.880 but I'm not going man. 0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:40.080 I hope he throws another pick. I hope he gets sacked. 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:42.040 That'll teach that Grandpa. 0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:42.720 Yeah. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.520 If anything, I'm trying to put money on him first drive. 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:46.800 All watchdown pack Joe. 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.000 Now, that's that's my big bet of the year. 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:49.680 Okay. 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:53.040 I have the Gambling podcast with Shan Irving, Dylan and 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.760 Bad Larry coming up after the show, and I will 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:59.720 pose that question. Can we get odds on if Philip 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.400 River starts his first drive against Seattle's defense will lead 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.600 to a touchdown? What would the odds be? What would 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.680 the payout be for you and he would have to 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.640 throw a touchdown? I'll throw them right, What if he 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:17.000 just leads them to a touchdown. Okay, well I have 0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:18.280 him throw a touchdown pass. 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.600 I feel like if he threw it, he'd get credit for. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:24.000 It, So okay, all right, so I'll see what the 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.480 odds are. Philip Rivers hater Fritzie. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.600 Yes, once they would get eliminated from the playoff picture, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:31.360 especially with what happened in Week two, even though Philip 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:32.880 Rivers had nothing to do with it, but his team 0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.280 did with the whole leverage thing. Then I would actually 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.880 root for Philip Rivers to do well in meaningless games, 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.000 but while the Cults are still in the mix fighting 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.560 for playoffs. 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:42.520 It the question is about this weekend. 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:44.840 This week I would like for him, you know what, 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:46.919 to personally do well, not embarrass himself, but for the 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.200 Cults ultimately lose, and then I would be totally fine 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:49.440 with that. 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.760 Okay. Here's a Philip Rivers on why he came back. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.680 As simple as as can be, as a coach that 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:01.799 I love and an organization I really enjoyed being with, 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.880 you know, mister ersay believing in me in that year 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:05.680 in twenty twenty when it didn't go so good in 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.720 twenty nineteen, and they wanted me. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:13.240 Okay, he's been in contact with the head coach and 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.640 Riley Leonard, the backup quarterback as well. He knows the 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.120 offense get a chance to come in. I would prefer 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.720 if he was playing at home instead of in Seattle 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:32.760 against that Seattle defense. But you know, he's got to 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.560 be one of the youngest grandpas in America though, right, 0:03:35.720 --> 0:03:40.640 he's America. He's forty four. How many grandpas are forty four? 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:45.800 And he's got ten kids? Right, yes, something like that, 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:50.640 something like that. Yeah, I have ten, yeah, ten for now. Yeah, 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.520 it's early in the day. Yeah, who knows. You know, 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.000 he's got to have a head count every morning. All right, 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.160 let's sound You know there's that scene in a Sound 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.120 of Music where they are all in the morning. I 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.040 think they all come down and everybody, uh, you know, 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:05.240 there's a head count there. 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.320 Do you remember the sound of music? Remember that? 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:08.839 Yeah? 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.200 Yeah, they're like singing with their breakfast Von Trapp family. 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.039 The hills are alive with the sound of music. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.200 Oh dear female y. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:25.320 Yeah. My first crush ever, first crush understandable. 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:29.320 Yeah, yeah, I didn't understand what my crush was, but 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.360 I just knew. I think I was seven or eight, 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.479 and I was like, I love her, and then I 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.640 saw her and Mary Poppins and I go, I really 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:41.280 love her, yes, Paul, Julie Andrews, Yes, yeah, yeah, Julie Andrews.

With Phil Rivers and his wife, 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.560 after nine kids are sitting around at the table going, 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.120 you know what, it's getting quiet, and it's just. 0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:55.479 Not you know, we're getting close to being empty nesters. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.200 Here thirteen more years and there I could see having 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:06.040 another one. But having been around my son's children, so 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.159 my grandchildren, I don't know how my wife had the energy, 0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:12.920 even she says, I don't know how I had the energy. 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.679 Now she had four kids under seven years of age. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.760 They have two under two and a half. But you're 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:24.000 just around them and you just forget how much it's 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.640 all consuming. Even when you go, man, I hope he 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:30.400 takes a nap because I could use a nap. It 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.760 never went well whenever I was watching my kids. By 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.240 the way, you don't babysit your own kids. I'm with 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.599 my kids and I'd be like, man, I hope the 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.240 youngest takes a nap because I could really she's not 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.480 going to take a nap. Be like, Ah, it's gonna 0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:46.720 be a long day. Yes, Marvin. 0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:48.440 Yeah, when he gets to that taller station and he 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.919 keep calling you, oh, just call me Marvin for the 0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:52.960 loan of God. If I hear daddy one more time, 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.400 just call me Marv h. 0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.440 And then you got to protect you gotta you know, 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.839 the edges of the table proof. Oh, just everything you're like, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.520 I didn't think of that. We got to get a 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:07.360 gate for the top of the steps. We got to 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.360 get a gate for the bottom of the steps. All 0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:13.680 of these things where you're going, don't know how you know, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.920 you look back and well, that's why you have when 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.719 you're young. But yeah, I gotta believe Philip Rivers. What 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.440 is the average age of being a grandfather in the 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:25.240 United States? Yes, Hunt, and the things you were referring to, 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:26.440 that's just in the house stuff. 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.400 What happens those meltdowns. 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.000 At the mall or at the restaurant and all the 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:31.920 things where they're you got to drag them and they're 0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.440 just totally making a total scene. At least you could 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.240 hide it when they're doing something in the apartment of 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:36.640 the house. 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:43.000 So you have the information polling I do based off 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.880 this research site. The average age in America currently of 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.560 becoming a grandparent, not of grandparents' age, but the day 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:56.880 you become a grandparent for men, right battle game. This 0:06:56.920 --> 0:07:01.200 is the average age, yes, currently for men sixty three 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.360 fifty three, oh, becoming a grandparent. 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:12.440 Okay, all right, so he's he's ten years head of schedule. 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:18.440 He's fast starter, ten years ahead of schedule. Let's see 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.480 David in Ohio. Hi, David, what's on your mind? 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:24.880 Hey, what's up? 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:25.160 Dan? 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:28.160 I think they should rename the Bowl. 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.880 Michigan's Flying end of the Royal Family Ball because of 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:32.800 all the scandals. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:35.080 So thank you, thank you, David. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.360 We don't know anything more than what's been reported from 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.160 last night and even this morning, so there's nothing new. 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.400 But if there is, in the next you know, fifty minutes, 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.040 we'll let you know. With Michigan, whether it's Sharon Moore 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.440 or their coaching search as well, or if any of 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:58.080 their players getting in the transferred portal. Jeff in San Diego, Hi, Jeff, 0:07:58.120 --> 0:07:59.240 what's on your mind? 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:01.560 Hey? Good morning? 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:09.080 Dan and Danet's six foot one fifty eight. Hey, Dan, 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:12.600 I'm a longtime listener. You reference this a lot. It 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.920 adds a lot of flavor and interesting information to the show. 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:21.440 But I've always been curious about what's the incentives of 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.960 the sources to share this information with you. You mentioned 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:27.240 this weekend was really busy. They were reaching out a 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:30.480 lot of information. I was always curious about what the 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:33.160 incentive for them is to share that information with you. 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:36.560 Well, they're fans of the show, they're friends of the show, 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.920 and they want to make sure that I have the information, 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:44.200 the correct information. And I've been very fortunate in forty 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:48.840 years to have accumulated a couple of sources in just 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.240 about every sport, somebody that I can go to and 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.360 just say set me straight. And a lot of these 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:59.160 people aren't, you know, media savvy that they want to be, 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.320 you know, you know, there's no ego where they go, hey, 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:05.800 I come on your show. That's not who they are. 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:09.000 They're just in their world. They want to make sure 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.199 that I know what I'm talking about, because there have 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.600 been times when they'll text me and say, hey, that's 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:18.679 not right, and you know, I've made mistakes with that, 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.480 but I just want to make sure that I always 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.480 give you the right information, the correct information, the information 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:28.000 that I trust instead of taking it from somebody else. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.240 Now there's a lot of great reporters, there's a lot 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:34.079 of great information, but I can't take everybody's word on something. 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.720 And sometimes I'll say, hey, can you give me set 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:38.600 me straight on this. I want to make sure is 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.559 this right? And then somebody might say yes, it is, 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.600 and then I give that person credit, because I think 0:09:44.720 --> 0:09:47.160 something that we don't do in this business is give 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.240 the person who does have the information credit. We tend 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:54.120 to blame, but we don't credit, and we tend to 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.560 take what somebody says and then we run, you know, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:59.320 with it. Like Ross Dellinger has done a wonderful job. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.679 You know, he's always got really good information. I mean, 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:07.400 there's some really good college football reporters. But I try 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.400 to find somebody in each sport that I can always 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.040 go to, and sometimes it's somebody who's on the air 0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:14.480 with us. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:16.680 Sometimes, you know, Tony Dungey. 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.439 I'll reach out to Tony and he may not come 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.920 on the show, but I can say, hey, help me 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.400 understand this, and then he can give me that information, 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.400 you know, Steve Sands from Golf Channel or rich Lerner, 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.319 like you just want to have somebody that you can 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.960 go to and say, can I get some information here? 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:37.320 And it's not having them on as a guest, but 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.520 everything has to be let's get it right. And if 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:42.960 I can get it right, and I have people who 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.520 watch the show, listen to the show, been friends of 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.959 the show. That's a great resource that I have that 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.720 very few others in this business do have. But thank 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.400 you for the phone call here, Zach and Knoxville. Good 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.040 to have you back, Zach. What's on your mind? 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:02.280 ADP, thanks for checking I call. I just wanted to 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.520 get your opinion on if you think John Gruden would 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.600 be won a good fit or to a legitimate candidate 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:09.680 for the Michigan Droub. 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:11.679 I don't know that. 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.080 I don't know that, and I know that he works 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:19.520 for Barstool and Dave Portnoy, who runs Barstool, as friends 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:22.679 with John big Michigan booster, and I'm sure that he 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.480 would be pushing for John if that's something that John wanted. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.120 But it feels like John wants to get back to 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:30.800 the NFL. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:32.640 I think he would love to go back to the 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.800 NFL just to say the NFL did me wrong. I 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:39.560 want to go back and I'm going to be coaching. 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:42.280 I'm going to be coaching a team. I don't know 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.520 if somebody gives him that opportunity, But he's got a 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.760 pretty good gig at Barstool. I'm guessing you don't have 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.680 to work too many days and you still get to 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:54.720 have a high profile there. I don't know what happens 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:57.760 with I think after the lawsuit is settled with the NFL, 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.280 and if he wins that lawsuit, then maybe you're going 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:03.520 to get somebody who's going to give him an opportunity. 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.240 I mean, you still have some damaging language in those 0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:11.160 emails that surfaced, you know, whether that should have been 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.360 brought to light, you know, and then you have the 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.720 lawsuit against the NFL. But maybe John I mean, he 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.960 was a Notre Dame ball boy growing up. But I 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.480 don't know what his ties to Michigan. We keep going, hey, 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.319 you gotta have a tie to Michigan, Brady Hokat a 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:28.160 tie to Michigan. 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.120 Not good? Yeah, bully, Yeah. 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:35.520 John Gruden only coached college football right out of college. 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:37.760 He was a graduate assistant. He has very little college 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.320 football coaching experience. Also, I don't know if Michigan wants 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.240 to bring in another person who has baggage on the 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:44.960 way in. This is one of those hires where it's like, 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.400 let's go squeaky clean. And also John Gruden the last 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:52.240 time he coached was twenty one. Yeah, he would have 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:54.640 to go from his barstool schedule, which is light to 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.360 the day. He starts at Michigan as a twenty dour 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.400 day job for the next six months. 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.040 According to the prosecutor's office telling ESPN, no decision on 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.320 charging Sharon Morris expected today. 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.559 The Michigan coach remains in custody. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:11.840 Do we have a poll question for the final hour 0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.840 there aside from are you rooting for Philip Rivers Seaton? 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:16.320 Yeah? 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.560 Right now we just have the Philip Rivers up there, 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.000 but we can add another. 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.800 Let me see Austin in Louisiana. Hi, Austin, what's on 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:25.480 your mind today? 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:26.680 Hey? 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:27.000 What wd? 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:27.560 Hey man? 0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:29.040 Thanks calling me, Thanks calling me back. 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:29.280 Yeah. 0:13:29.559 --> 0:13:31.720 Hey, that was a great appearance by Wetsoel there he's 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.640 always he's always really good. Quick quick comment. The question 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:37.840 for you, you know, the big winner in all this, Dan, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.880 is college football. I feel like we've been talking college 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.720 football on the A block in every show, not just yours, 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.280 for months now back to the James Franklin firing, which 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:51.240 feels like a year ago, to meaningless weekly ranking shows, 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.920 to firings. Now there's a huge scandal and a top 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.920 three job college football. Man, it's the uh, the drama 0:13:56.960 --> 0:14:00.240 that never ends. My question to you, Dan is you've 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.880 been really consistent on saying that Alabama should have dropped 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:07.560 for their game against Georgia. And my question is where 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:09.959 should they have dropped in because eleven and twelve we 0:14:10.040 --> 0:14:13.040 locked this season with the chief Apps spots and they 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.000 could have only dropped to ten. So are you saying 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.280 that Alabama and Miami should have switched or that Bama 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:19.600 should have been out for Notre Dame. 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.720 Well, I think that the fact they played in the 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.240 SEC title game, I can give credit to Alabama. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:28.760 They didn't play well. I don't think this was a 0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:30.800 great This is a great Alabama team. 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:35.840 And you know, I'm giving you the history of the 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:42.080 conference championship game. So twenty two conference champions who were 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.960 in the game and lost. Okay, the loser of the 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.640 conference championship game the last twenty two. Twenty of the 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:55.320 twenty two dropped in the rankings. So TCU a couple 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.560 of years ago in Alabama, so history says they should 0:14:58.600 --> 0:14:59.120 have dropped. 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.520 I didn't think they were a great team. Yes, they 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:02.920 got to. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.360 The SEC title game, but then you could also make 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.480 the case, hey, Miami didn't even play in the. 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.720 SEC title game. You know, as much as. 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.120 We want to talk about Miami and their resume in 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.800 that conference, that's not any good. And you can't even 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:21.880 get to the conference title game. So look, we've exhausted 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.920 this with Notre Dame. I think if you have Miami 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.880 in front of them, they should have been in front 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.920 of them for the last month because nothing changed and 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.240 then when it changes up. 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.960 That's the problem that I have with this. I didn't think. 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.480 Alabama had a good showing in the SEC title game. 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:42.360 Yes they got there, but but they end up three losses, 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.360 and I don't they don't pass the eye test. I 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.360 think they showed glimpses, but you know, go back to 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.080 the loss of Florida State. I don't know how good 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:52.480 they are. 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:55.600 Yes, Marvin, how many teams in this tournament do you 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.080 think have a real shot to win the national title? 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:02.560 I'd say four. 0:16:03.600 --> 0:16:04.080 Maybe. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:05.640 You know, here's another thing. 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.840 If we played on a neutral site and this according 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.640 to Vegas, how many teams would Notre Dame be favored over. 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:15.520 They'd be favored over Alabama, They'd be favored over Miami, 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:21.880 They'd be favored over Texas Tech. I mean pretty much 0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.800 everybody except for Ohio State. I don't think they would 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:31.160 be favored over Oregon. I don't think I don't think 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:36.480 they'd be favored over Indiana, Texas, A, and m in 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.880 a rematch on a neutral site, that would be close. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:45.760 So if I'm just going by Vegas, then Notre Dame 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:48.000 is one of the top five teams in the country. 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:49.400 Yeah, Paulin. 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.480 Even though Alabama did not have a great showing in 0:16:51.520 --> 0:16:54.080 the SEC title game, Vegas still likes them in the 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:58.760 playoffs number nine Alabama at Oklahoma at Oklahoma. Alabama right 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.320 now is a one and a half point favorite. 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:01.960 And they've already faced each other. 0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.040 Yeah, so they still like Alabama. 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:09.080 Yeah. Yeah, but ask Vegas how many teams would Notre 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:11.399 Dame be favored over. I could check that, yeah, and 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:14.280 that'll give you an idea of, you know, just how 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.840 good this team is. They don't care about anybody, you know, 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.600 there's nothing personal with this. They're trying to set the 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:23.640 betting line. Of making money, and they would have Notre 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.600 Dame favored over most of those schools, most of them. 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.359 All Right, Well, take a break, Rob Gronkowski will stop. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:32.720 Buy more of your phone calls as well.
