Is every 47 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: morning we're popping up in different parts of the state 48 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: and we do our live to our morning show and 49 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 1: usually get good crowds, and it's just good to get 50 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: out and you know, when we're blabbing on the radio 51 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: talking to the microphone, it's good to get out and 52 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: meet the people who are listening on the other end. 53 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: So so we're up to next month or so. So 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:11,799 Speaker 1: who does the driving, Well, we're all in one car. 55 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: Matt definitely drives, none of us gets touched the wheel. 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: He'll drive every minute. But due to a lot of 57 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: our schedules, some of these we end up taking three 58 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: separate cars for three people, so it's a little ridiculous 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 1: on the planning, a lot of miles going on the Okay, 60 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: I saw our gas card which Kentucky County has the 61 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: best food, Oh, the best food, putting me on the spot. 62 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: I think they're all good. I like when we get 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: off on these small towns we've never been to and 64 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: there's just like a mom and pop diner, the little 65 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: grocery store cafe that no one's ever heard of. Anytime 66 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: you see one of those, they're gonna have the best 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: food wherever. It is a mistake. Which Kentucky County has 68 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: the best bourbon? Uh? Well, we got the Bourbon Trail 69 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: that covers a couple of counties. Uh that that whole area. 70 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 1: Any anyone listening that ever comes to Kentucky just get 71 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: in the car and hit them all. It's a great 72 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: area here. The county went for County Bourbon County, Payette County. 73 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: Lots of fun with the bourbon here. I might even 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: recommend ubering if you try to do the whole day. 75 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: It's probably a good idea. Which Kentucky County has the 76 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: best bookie? But I don't speak. You know, they don't 77 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: let us gamble here in Kentucky, so I don't know 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. I don't do any gambling in 79 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: the state. I think we'll be the fiftieth state to 80 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: make it legal about forty years from now, so no 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: bookies around here. I don't know what you're talking about. No, 82 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: you're totally right. You're totally legit when you did You're 83 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: gambling is for match dicks, and I've always appreciated that 84 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: about you. Uh. I want to talk about two things today. 85 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: You guys, UM, do you want to talk about Jared 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: Lorenzen for a second, Which is a little bit off 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: the betting topic, but you guys were close to Jared Lorenzen, 88 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: and back when I was at ESPN, UM we did 89 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: a story about Jared Lorenz and Tommy tom Listen did 90 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: a story about Jared Lorenzen that the year that we 91 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: commissioned it and published it, it was the most traffic 92 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 1: story we did on ESPN dot com that year. It 93 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: um no pun intended just completely blew up, and I 94 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: thought it was reflective of sort of how Jared Lorenzen 95 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: lived his life, completely honestly, but also sort of what 96 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: a fascination he was as an athlete because he was 97 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: so overweight and like the things he could do as 98 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: a person that size being so nimble. UM, tell me 99 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: about your relationship with him and why you think he 100 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: resonated so much for such a broad audience. You mentioned 101 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 1: that story, which is curribly well done, but you could 102 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: do three different stories, one on Jared on the football field, 103 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: one on Jared just in the room being the fun guy, 104 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: and then a third on Jared's fight with his weight loss. 105 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, his entire life. We keep saying he's larger 106 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: than life figure. He's one of the con as a 107 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: football player. He was out there playing like he's you know, 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: in the backyard, one of my favorite players. He's at 109 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: George A throws the foot ball over his head, which 110 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: if it had not been completed, I'm sure would have 111 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: kicked off the team to the most insane thing to 112 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: do in a game. But that was just Jared out 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 1: there having a blast. And then he was the same 114 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: way off the field, just a magnetic personality that could 115 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: light up the room. And then of course he had 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: a struggles that have been well documented. Just an unbelievable guy. 117 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting here, I got a suit next to 118 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: me from arobably going to his funeral soon. And obviously 119 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: it's been almost a week and I can't believe we're 120 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: having this conversation. How did you guys become so close 121 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 1: to him. I'm about four years younger than Jared, so 122 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: when he was playing UK, I was in high school 123 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 1: and so I don't like to say I looked up 124 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: to him wanted to be hi, because I'm not that 125 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: much younger, but I definitely he was definitely my favorite player. 126 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: And then as KSR went on and he finished his 127 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: NFL career, he did some pregame radio with us, and 128 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: through that we became friends. And honestly, yeah, a year 129 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 1: of knowing him and working with him, I would still 130 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: be sitting in the room like I'm sitting next to 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: Jared the Rims and it was kind of surreal for 132 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: a while. Then his town went on and became real close, 133 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: always texting and goofing off about whatever football stuff is 134 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: going on. Uh. Just a great friend and we really 135 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: missed him already. What was the best football story he 136 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: told you, either about Kentucky or playing with the Giants 137 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: or anything else. Well, I have a good one that 138 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: actually pertains to what you all do. Uh. We did 139 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: a special football podcast that was just Jared telling stories 140 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: of his Super Bowl title with the Giants, and uh, 141 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: I hate to telling him here, but since he kind 142 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: of set it himself. He might have gone over and 143 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: looked at the color gatorade on the Patriots side and 144 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: texted some of his friends, uh, what what color to 145 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: bet on that year? Then of course the Giants go 146 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: on to set the Patriots and his friends whilst be 147 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: But that's that's one of my all time favorite Jared's. 148 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he admitted to it, but since he 149 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: already put it out there, I got no problem retelling it. 150 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: He was spying on the color of the gatorade for 151 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: his gambling firms, but not only that, he was spying 152 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: in the color of the gateaide for the opposite team. Yeah. Well, 153 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: I think he told them both colors and they just 154 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: assumed Patriots had win and they went with it, and 155 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: then of course they pulled me upset. So that's one 156 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: of all time favorite Jetts that he's just constantly out 157 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: having fun. I gotta tell you, I'm so glad to 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: ask that question, because that is the most perfect story 159 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: to telling this podcast about jaredn I'm actually wondering if 160 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 1: I should have kept that to myself, but it's out 161 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: there now, so it's out there. Jarrett was tipping people 162 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: off on the Gatorade back in that famous Super Bowl 163 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: that is that is phenomenal. What do you think, um, 164 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: what do you think Jared le Linsen would think of 165 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 1: what Kentucky did last year and what their prospects are 166 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: this year. I'm I'm glad Jared got to see all 167 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: that happened last year because obviously past season, in thirty years, 168 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: they win ten games. But that for just Rereek weight 169 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: on him a whole lot because and I want to 170 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: say two thousand three, I believe he was the quarterback 171 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: when they blew an eighteen point lead in the fourth quarter. 172 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: He threw an interception that basically gave Florida the game, 173 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: And though he kind of points it off, that weight 174 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: on him a lot that that Street just kept building 175 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: up and building up and building up because he knew 176 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: he had a beat, you know, decades ago. So then 177 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: for him to see it last year when they finally 178 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: got to win at Florida, Uh, he did a periscope 179 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: of his reaction and really after the game, he's just 180 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: watching home by himself, but I mean he's screaming, almost 181 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: in tears watching that Street snap. And then for them 182 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: to go on and win that Citrus Bowl it was 183 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: just a great season for to be the last one 184 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: Jay will ever get to see, because I know how 185 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: much it meant for him to see that football program 186 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: turn it around. All right, So you know SEC football obviously, 187 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 1: and and you are mad to a phenomenal job covering 188 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: college football. Uh for Ksrum, I want to talk about 189 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: the SEC for a minute. I do want to start 190 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 1: with Kentucky because the projections for them probably anywhere from 191 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: five to six wins depending on where you're looking right 192 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: now at the Action Network. Uh, Colin Wilson hasn't projected 193 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: for five point four five wins and only two conference wins. 194 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: We are you coming in on that, Drew Franklin, I mean, 195 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: take my money. I'm all in on the over. I 196 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: try to not to be a homer when I'm looking 197 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: at gambling here because you know, grew up the UK fan. 198 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm always leading on the positive side. But when I 199 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: look at that schedule, therefore, they have four non conference 200 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: games that I think they could sleep walk through and win. 201 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: They have to lead to Eastern Michigan, UT Martin and 202 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: Louisville home and Louisville's normally you know fight. They terrible 203 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: last year, so I think right now, before you even 204 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: kicked the ball off, they have four wins. The only 205 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: one I see that is counter to the losses at Georgia. 206 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: Certainly seven games to win two to just hit six wins, 207 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: and a lot of those I'm almost want to call 208 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: coin flips. You have Missouri at home, Tennessee at home. 209 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: You go at Vanderbilt, which should be a win. I 210 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: would set this line more at seven. And that's not 211 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: even me being overly optimistic as a UK fan. I 212 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: can't believe it's low in some of these places. So 213 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: low it I've seen six. You just mentioned someone that five. 214 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 1: I can't even believe that. Well, listen, Colin Wilson is 215 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: gonna come on later. Has Missouri at nearly nine and 216 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: a half wins. I believe Missouri is gonna be very good. 217 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: Uh but when you when you just beat Kentucky, you 218 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: want a couple to hit the over and you've got 219 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: Missouri at home. Missouri might even be favorite that game, 220 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: but there are gonna be double digit favors. I think 221 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: it's a close game and they live all right. Um, 222 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: the other teams, I want to discuss weight one thing. 223 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: What makes you so high in Kentucky Like to me, 224 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: there are an interesting team because they were so good 225 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: last year. They're one of those things where like people 226 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: get excited to root for teams the following year because 227 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 1: you want to see new blood and football. You want 228 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: to see a team like Kentucky. They had such a 229 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 1: madic season last year. What makes you feel like they 230 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: are better than advertise. I think it's easy for some 231 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: of the outsiders who don't follow as closely as we 232 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: do living here in Lexton, to just look at it 233 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 1: and say they lost to Josh Allen and Benny Snell 234 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: to the best ever. They have to take a step back, 235 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: and they will take a step back. The backfields coming 236 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: in behind Bennie is very good. It will be a 237 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: drop off, but they're gonna be an exciting bunch. There 238 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: won't be a huge drop off. I think Terry Wilson 239 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: at quarterback, now that he's got a season under his belt, 240 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: is gonna shock some people. I think he can be 241 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 1: a star. The linebackers replacing Allen are good. None of 242 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: them are Josh Allen, but it's a good group. My 243 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: only concern where I think the under hit on this 244 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: win total is the secondary is going to be very bad. 245 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: So I'm ready for you k to get beat beep alive. 246 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: But I think in every other position there's still gonna 247 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: be a very good thing. All Right, you've got some 248 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: neighbors down there Tennessee. Tell people what you told me 249 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: before we started the podcast. Uh, Well, I have thoughts 250 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: about Tennessee. I wasn't sure what their win total is 251 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: at right now, but I told you that no matter 252 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: what it is, I will go under I don't care 253 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: if they're one in total is one, I will take 254 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: under one. That That's how I feel about the Tennthy 255 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: football program. You must explain yourself. Well, they're obviously gonna 256 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: lose to Kentucky. Uh, even their trash nonconference games. I 257 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: think they'll lose to I think it might be able 258 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: to speak off the helm marry on Stadale whoever to 259 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: play in the first game of the year. But this 260 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: is where my hatred of Tennessee. I wouldn't encourage anyone 261 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: to follow my opinion here. What is your personal animus 262 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: for Tennessee? Tell me about the rivalry. Well, my whole 263 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 1: life I watched Kentucky lose to them until just fairly recently, 264 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: and then my own father is a Tennessee fan who 265 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: when I left town to be the UK, he turned 266 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: my old bedroom into Tennessee room, painting to completely orange, 267 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: so anytime I was home to visit, I would have 268 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: to sleep in that best So really, my whole life 269 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: it's been hatred of Tennessee and it will continue to 270 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: be that way. Nothing will ever give you a change. 271 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: My mom on the Balls, I think I love your dad. 272 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: Oh he he had a checkerboard blanket, orange walls. Even 273 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,719 Speaker 1: the t TV remote had a t on it. The 274 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: first time I slept in there, he snuck in and 275 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: took a picture and seen it's the map. So I 276 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: didn't start sleeping in the hallway. But yeah, I've been 277 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: getting trolled by my Balls fan dad for a long time. 278 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Why does he left Tennessee? Did he go there? Uh? 279 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: He was a Kentucky fan. Uh. Born and raised Kentucky, 280 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: went to Western Kentucky. I guess he's just like that 281 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: puke orange or wanted to be a troll. But he 282 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: switched probably when I was about eight or nine, and 283 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: he's all out. He's even got the big T on 284 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: the hood of his truck. And he's that kind of fan. 285 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: So when you walk into your room and you see 286 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: it painted in orange and you've got the checkerboard blanket 287 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: and stuff. Was happy? Was he with you? What happened? 288 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: What is he? I'm trying to think of, Like, what's 289 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: the meanest joke I've ever played on either of my 290 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: sons And I don't think it's I don't think it 291 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: stacks up to that. Give me your reaction and how 292 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: he played it for you? Yeah, well, I mean I 293 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: live it's about a three hour drive. When I was 294 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: at UK, so I wouldn't visit a whole probably four 295 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: or five times a year. And I guess maybe it 296 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: was Thanksgiving one year because the game was right around 297 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: that time. Uh did my normal trip home and little 298 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: did I know he had completely remodeled the room that 299 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: I would be sleeping in for the weekend. And that 300 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: was the last time I slipped in there. Seriously, you 301 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: never slept in there again. No, always on the couch. 302 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 1: He's the guy that wears those ugly checkerboard pants everywhere. 303 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he he'll on work wag if it's a 304 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: big game. He's that kind of idiot. God, sec football 305 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: is the best. It is just fin You really don't 306 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: get that anywhere else. I I you do not get 307 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, you do not get people doing that in 308 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: the a SEC. You don't get people doing that in 309 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: the pack twelve. Maybe you get it a little bit 310 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: in the Big ten, but that is that is a 311 00:15:52,800 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: decidedly SEC uh characteristic. Yeah, I mean one week out 312 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: of the year, SEC football makes me hate my own father, 313 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: and I'm not proud of that. But I mean he 314 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: started it, so it's going to continue to be that way. 315 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: Basketball collerate him a little bit more, I can, I 316 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: can just let it slide. But that week leading up 317 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: to the football game and weird enemies? Is he the 318 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: one that got you into bedding? Uh? No, he didn't. 319 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 1: I do bet on mountain. He doesn't even understand how 320 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: any of that works. I've tried to practice it with 321 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: about a couple of bets. And I'm speaking of the language. 322 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: To give me another take here, I want to hear 323 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: your take on Alabama. I know you've got a hot 324 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: take in Alabama. Well, what do we have them said? 325 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: Is they at eleven and eleven and a half. Let's 326 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: say it's uh, let's say it's eleven. I'm going uh, 327 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I think they win ten. I don't know which one 328 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: is the loser, or they go at A and M, 329 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: they go uh, they go to Auburn whe they have 330 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: LSU at home. But I'm just playing the odds of 331 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 1: they've been too good for too long and if someone 332 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: finally has to upset them when it's not expected, I'm 333 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: putting them at ten wins this year. I don't know 334 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: which too they're losing, but it's just want to happen 335 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: because they've been too good every year and someone will 336 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 1: knock the boss to someone's true that is A and 337 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: M and I don't know. I hate say it. Auburn 338 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 1: Maybe LS you beat him at home? That is awful analysis. Hey, 339 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: I'm I'm just playing the number every single year. I 340 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: know they're the best team and they reload all those 341 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: wins and it's kind of past. But I'm a believer. 342 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: At some point they have to lose a game that 343 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: they're not supposed to I don't care what. Maybe it's Tennessee, 344 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: probably not, but they're bound to lose the game that 345 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 1: Nick Saban wasn't supposed to lose. I can't even think 346 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 1: of the time they've been upset in the last couple 347 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: of years. What what what is what is worse for you? Kentucky? 348 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: Kentucky winning? Now, let me see, let me see the 349 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: phrasing here. I want to know, like, would you rather 350 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: Alabama lose? But what if they lose to Tennessee. Oh, 351 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: I don't even plant that seat in my head. If 352 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: Tennessee we're upset Albam and I like Alabama, I actually 353 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: root for Alabama, not like a bandwagon pick in Kentucky 354 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: basketball Alabama football, but I'll pull for the sec outside 355 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 1: of Tennessee. I can't fathom a scenario we're asked to 356 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: my father in the eyes with Tennessee just upset Alabama 357 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: and Brian didn't didn't figure this year. I can't even 358 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: wrap my head around that possibility. But I do think 359 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: someone upset to Alabama when we when we're not expecting it. 360 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: All right, well, listen, that might be of the of 361 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: the takes you gave me. I can buy Tennessee, I 362 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: can buy Kentucky. I'm glad your dad trold you. I 363 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,400 Speaker 1: think that's an amazing Jared Lorenzen story. Um, but I'm 364 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: not buying the Alabama. I bet they lose at Startinville. 365 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: I'll bet you right now, what kind of have you 366 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: given me. I kind of threw that one out of 367 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: the hot tick. What well, let's just you're saying they're 368 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna lose. I'm saying they're gonna win. We'll just beat 369 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: it straight up, all right, I got the Bulldogs. I 370 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 1: hate the Well, maybe Alabama will walk in into that 371 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: town and then just come out and the yeah, we'll 372 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: see I'll make let's say, well, no, let's just do 373 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: it straight up.

It is so deep into college football. It 396 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: is pure passion. That's just what it is. It is 397 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: like it was like a guy who had been spending 398 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: the past five months in a bunker watching every single 399 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: thing he can watch on YouTube, updating his rankings, updating 400 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: like the rosters and depth charts, and just had a 401 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: blast to finally let it out. Like I just felt 402 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: like I felt like you've had so much pent up 403 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: emotion about the college football upcoming college football season, that 404 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: that was your first opportunity. So I encourage everybody go 405 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 1: subscribe to the new Action Network podcast Rated Subscribe Review 406 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: all that kind of good stuff to hear Colin and 407 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 1: Stucky in a whole bunch of other folks talking about 408 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: big sports in UH in the betting world. Welcome, Welcome, 409 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: Colin Wilson. Yeah. And I would suggest everybody if you're 410 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: interested in the win totals the Action Network was, we 411 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: just put out all of our win totals because people 412 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: have been asking about them for a couple of weeks. 413 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 1: Those are now public and available for everybody. UH. And 414 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: not only does it capture the win total for every team, 415 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: and captures the conference win total for every team. So 416 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: a team may have like a certain win total overall 417 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: for the season, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're gonna 418 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 1: win a division. So those conference win totals are in 419 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: there too, so it'll be you'll be fully prepared for 420 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: conference odds when they come out. I just printed out 421 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: the SEC win total. By the way, nice shilling. I 422 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: printed out the win totals and conference totals for the 423 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: SEC um today because I drew Franklin on earlier and 424 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: I was using it as a reference. So um, give 425 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,439 Speaker 1: me two teams whose win totals you hate right now 426 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: that most people would look at and say national title contenders. 427 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: I hate Ohio State and I hate Washington. And when 428 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,520 Speaker 1: I say, hey, that means I'm using the money that 429 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: I can to get under their win totals. And that 430 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 1: is certainly in the face of a lot of people 431 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 1: that I'm hearing out there who love Ohio State. They 432 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: love Justin Fields transferring in from Georgia, they love Ryan 433 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: Day as the head coach. So let me just start 434 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 1: off with saying I've got them at nine point seven. 435 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: You can find ten and a halfs out there. You 436 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: can find ten, but I just don't think there's any 437 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 1: way that this is getting to eleven. They got a 438 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,119 Speaker 1: big deduction in my power writings for second order win totals, 439 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: which is really kind of a way of looking at 440 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: teams and saying, well, you won the game by three, 441 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: but if you were given four turnovers, that's not really 442 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 1: a win. Ryan Day, he baby set the team for 443 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: three Saturdays last year. I mean, Urban Meyer coached the 444 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: team all through the week and and Day really just 445 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: kind of ran out on the field. They had an 446 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: offensive plan. Uh so we don't really know how good 447 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Day is. So they got a negative one for me, uh, 448 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: and their power rating for that because Urban Meyer stucky. 449 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: I talked about this all the time. We think that 450 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: he was worth about two points the spread, and we 451 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: think he's even bigger, worth worth more to Ohio States 452 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: pr in games like the Rose Bowl or the Big 453 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: Ten Championship, because he's just a big game coach. But 454 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 1: now he's not there. Justin Fields on the other end, 455 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: a quarterback his odds attend to want at the West 456 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: Gate to win the Heisman is just I don't know 457 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: where that number is coming from. He looked clunky in 458 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: the spring game. He went four or thirteen, he didn't 459 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: have many yards. He's throwing it over receivers, under receivers, 460 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: left right. He can't hit any targets. And there's news 461 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: quietly circulating, especially with people in Vegas. We're all talking 462 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: about how Justin Fields was given every opportunity to beat 463 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 1: Jake from a Georgia. He could never take the role, 464 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: he could never take the job in practice. He didn't 465 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: look good in garbage time. Uh. And now he's at 466 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: House State where they lose everything on offense, and I 467 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: just don't know where the points are going to come from. Wow, 468 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: that's such a good point, right, Justin Fields and makes 469 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: such a big deal about him transfer in tow Ohio. 470 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: State could not win the job from the guy they 471 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: were dying to move out of the out of the 472 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,640 Speaker 1: quarterback position to Georgia absolutely where I mean Jake From. 473 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: The knock on him two years ago was that, well, 474 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: this kid can't convert third and eight. This kid can't. 475 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: He's not an accurate pastor. And they've got Justin Fields, 476 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: and they've got Jacob Eason and Justin Fields is just 477 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: there to hold a clipboard. Well, I got news for everybody. 478 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean, Jake From is a much better value for 479 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 1: a heisman than Justin Fields ever is. And the other 480 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,640 Speaker 1: thing about how State that I'll end on with them 481 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: is that, yeah, they do return a ton on defense, 482 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: but this crew was a hundred and fifteenth in defending 483 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: explosive plays last year. I think back to that TCU 484 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: game when Herbert Meyer was suspended. TCU had like fifty 485 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: yard plays like every few minutes. And this same defense 486 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: returns and I'm supposed to expect them to all of 487 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 1: a sudden be good against the rush. And be good 488 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: against explosiveness. Ohio states not and I just don't think 489 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: there's I don't think they're gonna get over ten. And 490 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: I happily put my money on the under with these guys. 491 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 1: All right, So who's the other national title contender that 492 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: you're often everybody's on if you consider Washington a national title? 493 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: Are reconsidering the packs twelve? I guess, assuming you may 494 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: get through the Packs twelve with one loss, your your 495 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: you should go to the College football playoffs. But Washington 496 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: atten is something that that number should be under. And 497 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: we're already starting to see some of the books out 498 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: there go to nine and a half and and Matt 499 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: Linderman and I got into this over on the Action 500 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: Network podcasts about how CG technology out in Vegas. They 501 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: opened this at ten and Matt through nine out there 502 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 1: max power rating was the same as mine, which is 503 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: eight point three on these guys for a win total 504 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: uh Caesars throughout nine. They didn't care that that other 505 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: places in shops in Vegas for at ten and they 506 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: have the lowest defensive returning production rating of any team 507 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: in FBS of all hundred and thirty teams, Washington is 508 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: the lowest they finished a hundred and seventeen and special 509 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: teams SMP plus. I think that reflects on coaching. And 510 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: look at this. We have an another quarterback that was 511 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: supposed to be Kirby Smarts guy in the under center 512 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: that lost to Jake from and that's Jacob Eason. Jacob 513 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: Eason didn't even win the job during spring practice. Jake 514 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: Hayner's was supposed to be the backup, and he went 515 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: fourteen and seventeen in the spring game. And if you're 516 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 1: looking for an upset in week one, don't look any 517 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: farther than Washington. They're taking on an Eastern Washington team 518 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 1: that lost lost the FCS championship game to North Dakota 519 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: State last year. Eastern Washington returns everybody they can throw 520 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: seventy points up on a really bad defense, and Washington 521 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 1: returns zero experience on defense. Lookout for Eastern Washington week 522 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 1: one and take the under Washington. What's the spread in 523 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: that game going to be? I know, the only thing 524 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: I have is saguring because the mix of FCS and 525 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: FBS really the Sagurn ratings that I get into that, 526 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: and I would think that that line looking at it 527 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: right now is probably gonna be with Eastern Washington returning 528 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: everybody seventeen and a half. So you're you're calling a 529 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: potential upset right now of Eastern Washington beating Washington. I 530 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: can almost guarantee I'll have money on Eastern Washington UH 531 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: in week one with the spread and and and I'll 532 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: definitely have some money on the side with money line 533 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: on them. Oh my god. Now I'm going to have 534 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: money with Eastern Washington on the money line. That's a 535 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: no brainer. I've never been more excited for Eastern Washington. 536 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: They're an exciting team when you when you actually get 537 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: your eyes on them. Some of these FCS teams can 538 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: really put up points past and they're fantastic in Eastern 539 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: Washington's one of them can't play any defense worth the lick, 540 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: but Jacobison can't throw the ball, so I think we're 541 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: in good shape. Too bad there are any other former 542 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: Georgia backups that are roaming around for over over value teams, 543 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: But there is one game. There is one team in 544 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: the SEC that, uh, I feel like you have severely 545 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 1: potentially over valued than Missouri Tigers. And that's supposed to 546 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: be this, you know, for my Alan from Arkansas. We 547 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: have this made up rivalry with Missouri. I don't know 548 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: why they keep pushing. It's not a real rivalry. But 549 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: you're right, Missouri is I think fantastic. My number matches 550 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: nobody else. I haven't seen anybody go. I haven't seen 551 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: anybody put out a win total and standby that's over eight. 552 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: I've seen eight in some places. That's what it's listed 553 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: in Vegas, and that's what it's listed in Jersey. But 554 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: I've got this number over nine. I would take this 555 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: at eight. I would take this eight and a half. 556 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: And let's talk about the transfer situation. Kelly Bryant comes 557 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: in from Clemson. Obviously. UH. You know Missouri was able 558 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: to win that battle with some of the other teams 559 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 1: that were buying for him to play quarterback. UH. They 560 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: retained the running back Larry Roundtree. Missouri has four wide 561 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: receivers that had fifty plus targets last year. Kelly Bryant 562 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: has a ton of weapons. The defense was seven in 563 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: rushing SMP last year. UH. And they get their top 564 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: linebacker back Kill Garrett, who accounted for fifteen of the 565 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: team tackles, and they returned their top five defensive backs. 566 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,719 Speaker 1: Uh in the second area, which is great. Their nonconference 567 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: schedule is filled with teams that are incompetent on offense. 568 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: We're talking Troy, West Virginia, that's a that's a Will 569 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: Greer lest West Virginia. We're talking Wyoming, and you know 570 00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: the powerhouse of Southeast Missouri. Uh. It's really a really 571 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: easy schedule. Um. You know, as far as the conference 572 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: play goes, they got the two worst teams in the West, 573 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 1: which is Arkansas and Old miss um Missouri over eight. 574 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: They've got all the weapons, they're gonna make a run. 575 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: They have a chip on their shoulder because of this 576 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: bull band, which I think is going to be lifted 577 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: at some point, but Missouri over eight definitely. How how 578 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: how how much does it hurt you to say that 579 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Arkansas is the worst team in the West. I am 580 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: actually sitting in Fayetteville right now, and everybody's drinking the 581 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: kool aid. Uh. They think we can get six wins 582 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: over and under. By the way, it's five and a half, 583 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: which I think the Arkansas The problem is Arkansas schedule. 584 00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: Look at listen to these listening to these teams port 585 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: In State, San Jose State, Uh, Colorado State, Western Kentucky. 586 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: I mean, I would love to slam under five and 587 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: a half and I'd love to you know, I'd love 588 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: to have more money going against Arkansas. But Chad Morris 589 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 1: does have his old quarterback from SMU back Ben Hicks. 590 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: He was successful quarterback when Chad Morris was down there. Uh. 591 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: They did play actually some pretty deef decent defense last year, 592 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: so it's you know, their number came out around five, 593 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: so it's not really uh for me, I'm sorry the 594 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: number came out around five, which isn't good enough for 595 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: me to take an underbed on them. But we're terrible. 596 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: We're a baseball school. Now. We we took pride, uh 597 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: you know, showing my age here. We were in the 598 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: Southwest Conference and we were number one and two with 599 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 1: Texas every year in college football, monster rivalry, Richard Nixon 600 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,600 Speaker 1: showing up to the Game of the Century in nine. 601 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: Arkansas football is everything because we don't have any pro sports. 602 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: We don't have NDA, we don't have NFL. We're in Nebraska, 603 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: we're Alabama. All we have is one team that we loved. 604 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 1: And it's embarrassing how much money that has been donated 605 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: into this program. And you can't make a bowl, and 606 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: you can't get the players, and you can't get everything 607 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: that we need to be a competent team in the SEC. 608 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: And frankly, I kind of sometimes wish we would move 609 00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: to the Big twelve because we geographically don't fit and 610 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: on football teams on the gridiron, we don't fit with 611 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: the SEC. How do you really feel about Arkansas right now? Well, 612 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,600 Speaker 1: I don't know. They asked me for a donation every year. 613 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm tired of donating five thousand dollars and then paying 614 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: another two thousand dollars for my seats and for my 615 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: parking passes and for my time. My time is what's 616 00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: really important. I mean, you walk into a stadium. I 617 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: think that's the problem with college football these days, is 618 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: that everybody loves college football so much. But if you 619 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: decide to take your family to a game, not only 620 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: is it overly expensive, but you're missing a hundred and 621 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: twenty eight other teams. Your time is just as important 622 00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: on a Saturday. So if I'm going to take time 623 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: out to miss a d eight other teams playing football, 624 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: you better give me a good product on the field. Well, listen, 625 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: I think most people are probably not watching other teams 626 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: that might be a specific excuse for you, Which is why, 627 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 1: which is why you can also go way off the 628 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: radar and give me two teams, uh, two of the 629 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: other six that we've discussed. Um, whose win totals you like? Uh, 630 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: you'd start with Texas State. I love the Bob's and 631 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: there's so much to love about the Bob's. They they got, 632 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: you know, they fired their their head coach. Uh and 633 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: and they brought in Jake's Babotol, who was the offensive 634 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: coordinator at West Virginia. Uh. He was mostly responsible for 635 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,280 Speaker 1: drawing up a place for everything you've seen from Will 636 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: Greer over the last couple of years and just the 637 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 1: amazing work at West Virginia. That's all because of the 638 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: head coach who's now at Texas State. But Jake s 639 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 1: Bavotol wasn't done there. I mean, even though he was 640 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,520 Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator, he decided to go and get Bob 641 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: stick who was the head coach in Montana. Now on 642 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: FCS levels, Bob Stid is a really big deal. He's 643 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: kind of a legend in the offensive coordinating world. Uh. 644 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 1: He is the one who famously gave Dana Holgersson a 645 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: fly sweep that West Virginia used with Tavon Austin and 646 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: the two thousand and twelve Orange Bowl that scored seventy points. Uh. 647 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,200 Speaker 1: Dana Olgerson came out interviews straight after the game and said, 648 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: I got that from Bob Stitt. Well, Bob stid is 649 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: now the offensive coordinator at Texas State. Uh. It's a 650 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: great It's a perfect matchup because coincidentally, the quarterback that 651 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: Bob Stid had at Montana had already transferred to Texas State. 652 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: So you're bringing in an offensive coordinator and you've got 653 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: his his quarterback from Montana, and that's who's gonna be 654 00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: running the show at Texas State. Um. It's just there's 655 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 1: a lot of positives going on there. Everything from second 656 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: order wind totals, everything from net turnovers. Texas State is 657 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 1: really going to turn it around. And a sun Belt 658 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: that has massive turnover this year. Scott Satterfield appalition State gone, 659 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,960 Speaker 1: he's moved up to Louisville. Uh. Neil Brown was a Troy, 660 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: he's gone. He's at West Virginia. So the sun Belt 661 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: is gonna look awful funky this year, and some teams 662 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: can make a jump in Texas State is going to 663 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: be one of them. I love when you talk about 664 00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 1: completely obscure college football teams in an obscure conference of 665 00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: coaches that nobody except for you and their new teams 666 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: have heard of. Bob is the man. I love it. 667 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,280 Speaker 1: I can't wait that in Texas they gets the five wins. Uh. 668 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 1: You know, it'll be a great investment. So I'm looking 669 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: forward to them possibly making a bowl. What about the 670 00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: East Carolina Pirates? You impressed? You're impressed by that, by 671 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,280 Speaker 1: the way, Yeah, you knew that they were the Pirates. 672 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,640 Speaker 1: They It's funny if you ever drive through North Carolina, Uh, 673 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: there are billboards up everywhere that says, this is the 674 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,480 Speaker 1: best team in North Carolina and this is this is 675 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: Carolina's football team. I don't think that is a bold 676 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: statement with North Carolina, NC State, wake everything going on. 677 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 1: But East Carolina. I loved it this year. And I 678 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,000 Speaker 1: kind of feel like everybody's starting to catch on because 679 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 1: wind turtles are out for all the teams now. And 680 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: I had to fire on three and a half and 681 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: I had to fire on over four and it was 682 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, it was quiet for a while, but now 683 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: I'm starting to see that people are jumping on. They 684 00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: got a bump for net turnovers, and they have a 685 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: huge coaching upgrade. Uh. Mike Houston comes in from James 686 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: Madison James mat Uson as an FCS powerhouse. He actually 687 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: won the FCS championship in seen uh and he made 688 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,799 Speaker 1: it back to the championship, but they lost that year. 689 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,799 Speaker 1: But still this is a guy who's on the rise 690 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: and he very much deserves to be at the FBS level. 691 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: They have a great duel for at quarterback that's coming 692 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: in one of the highest ranked quarterbacks I've ever had 693 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 1: at East Carolina. And look at this schedule. I mean 694 00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: it's pretty it's laughable. East Carolina is gonna play Gardner Webb. 695 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 1: They're gonna play William and Mary, two teams you might 696 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: have not known that had football teams. Uh So East 697 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,879 Speaker 1: Carolina should easily win those games. But after that they're 698 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: just hanging out that you know, they're playing teams that 699 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 1: are in the seller of college football Yukon, Old Dominion, Navy, Tulsa. 700 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 1: All of these are winnable games. They got the head 701 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: coach to do it. They have a great duel for 702 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: at quarterback. Over for easy money, I'm gonna throw one 703 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,080 Speaker 1: wild card at you. But we have not discussed this one. 704 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: But last year the first weekend of the season, you 705 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: and Stuck you did a periscope talking about college football 706 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,400 Speaker 1: and what are the opportunities night day and you handicapped 707 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: Sunny stony Brook and you talked about Sunny stony Brook 708 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 1: as if they were the Alabama Crimson Tide. So give 709 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: me your take on Sunny stony Brook right now. Sunny 710 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:22,560 Speaker 1: stony Brook actually has one of the lowest ranked schedules 711 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: of all of all their conference of who they played, 712 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: one of the their conferences actually ranked eleven or twelfth 713 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,160 Speaker 1: I think in all of their divisions. So, uh, they 714 00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:36,320 Speaker 1: have an easy schedule. Their returning production is mid tier, 715 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: so I would expect them to put up exactly what 716 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 1: they did last year. So what do you think of 717 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: their UH season win total? I'll put them at six 718 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,919 Speaker 1: if if a book wants to get if a book 719 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: wants to get brave enough to put out a five 720 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: and a half, I'll happily take an over on Sunny 721 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: Stony Brooks. I mean, the fact that you had to 722 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: take on Sunny stony Brook makes me ask you this. 723 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:05,799 Speaker 1: The last question, The last question bring him Young University. Yes. Uh, 724 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: if you don't love b y U this year, then 725 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:13,280 Speaker 1: I don't want to know you. So I love by U. Uh. 726 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: I have some friends that went to b y U, 727 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,440 Speaker 1: so I might have to wear some gear and hopefully 728 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: I can get away with it. But uh yeah, So 729 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: Coloni Sataki is the head coach there. He's a former 730 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,279 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator at Utah, and he was kind of on 731 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: the hot seat last year. Uh, you know, trying to 732 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 1: find some some offense. This by us having some of 733 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: the worst offensive uh stat success rates and explosiveness. They 734 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: were just terrible in all of all of FBS football. 735 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,799 Speaker 1: And uh that all changed last year when a kid 736 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: named Zack Wilson came into quarterback in the mid season. Um, 737 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,840 Speaker 1: I have them at eight point one, their win totals 738 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: at six and a half. I would just get again 739 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: at the six and a half. I would take it 740 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: at seven. Um. You know, and they always play an 741 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,520 Speaker 1: extremely tough schedule, but that's already baked into the number. 742 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: And I'm not really worried about that because they went 743 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: to Wisconsin last year and beat a very hyped Wisconsin 744 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,440 Speaker 1: team B y U. I think this this will kind 745 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: of surprise people. B y U was the number one 746 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: team in the nation defending explosiveness in and you may 747 00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: ask how good was that team and defending explosiveness? They 748 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: were number one last year, but of all the teams 749 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,279 Speaker 1: in college football over the last four years since the 750 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: beginning of b y you put up the best defensive 751 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 1: ISO p p P rating in all of those four years. 752 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: That's what they did last year, and they returned most 753 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: of that defense this year. B y U is where 754 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: explosive teams go to die. Now back on the offensive 755 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: side of the ball. Study and I started making a 756 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: whole bunch of money on b y U in the 757 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: middle of the year. At Wisconsin. Win was not a fluke. 758 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,840 Speaker 1: Uh you know, they started covering towards the end of 759 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,880 Speaker 1: last season. November was great for them. They got to 760 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,279 Speaker 1: the Potato Bowl. And for people that don't remember the 761 00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 1: Potato Bowl, Zach Wilson, the quarterback, went eighteen for eighteen. 762 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: He had three seventeen yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions. 763 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: They are fantastic. They are great at stopping explosion plays 764 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,839 Speaker 1: and they have a wonderful quarterback who loves to throw 765 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,120 Speaker 1: it to the tight end to his running Backs to 766 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,960 Speaker 1: the Wide Receivers by us the must watch this year 767 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: and they're an over six and a half play.
