Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbo.
Speaker 2: I'm that for me.
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to
Speaker 2: be happy. You want to be happy for Dake Edith State.
Speaker 1: Is that woo woom? And now then and Tye, welcome
Speaker 1: back to the Solid Burble boys and girls. My name
Speaker 1: is ty hilden Brandt. And as you know, the season
Speaker 1: is right around the corner. But before we get into
Speaker 1: the weeds, we are very excited to give you the
Speaker 1: replay of our twenty nineteen Fantasy Things Draft. Now this
Speaker 1: year a little different. It took place on two consecutive
Speaker 1: nights in two different cities, one in Dallas, one in Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: Both of those shows were live, but completely different from
Speaker 1: one another and of course a ton of fun. So
Speaker 1: for your purposes only, we thought we'd cut out as
Speaker 1: much of the overlap as humanly popped possible and give
Speaker 1: you one continuous show featuring all twenty four picks. Thank
Speaker 1: you again for listening, And here's how it sounded on
Speaker 1: night one at the Alamo Draft House just outside Dallas, Texas. Welcome,
Speaker 1: thank you for coming out. I hope everyone is ready
Speaker 1: for an hour and a half of intense Hobbs and
Speaker 1: Shaw discussion. Oh my god, that is why everyone is here.
Speaker 2: Hobshaw, Ty and Dan the classic fartsome. Correct, So welcome
Speaker 2: to the Fantasy Things Show. Our a show.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: We're doing another one tomorrow unless our flight gets canceled.
Speaker 2: We have a lot of college football weirdness planned. But
Speaker 2: today we drove up from Austin.
Speaker 1: Boo. Okay, I don't know how people feel.
Speaker 2: I was pretty good.
Speaker 1: I was good. Yeah, I read the room and we stopped. Wow,
Speaker 1: they're still going. There's good. This is a good crowd.
Speaker 2: We stopped in Temple, Texas at BUCkies and.
Speaker 1: We had never been. Yeah, see that.
Speaker 2: There it is so now we're just gonna talk about
Speaker 2: BUCkies for an hour and a half.
Speaker 1: Have you guys been there? Oh my god? Good hell.
Speaker 2: We had eleven combined bites of caramel corn and almost
Speaker 2: went into a coma to states.
Speaker 1: There was there was a jerky district. There was a
Speaker 1: jerky district. It's like the joke that I made was,
Speaker 1: it's like sim City if you could build your own
Speaker 1: gas station. Correct, just like a cot. It's huge. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We bought nine dollars shirts and we felt wonderful about it,
Speaker 2: felt good about it. Yeah, So shout out Temple Texas,
Speaker 2: shout out BUCkies, and thank you.
Speaker 1: For coming to the show. Well, I'm sure talk a
Speaker 1: little bit more about BUCkies as we progressed through here,
Speaker 1: but this is the solid verbal. I'm tie he's Dan.
Speaker 2: How many and Taylor, Taylor the brit shout out, Yeah,
Speaker 2: how many people are here against their will?
Speaker 1: That's not there?
Speaker 2: We go okay, and she got a first row scene
Speaker 2: from somebody that is brave.
Speaker 1: Man. I like it. Well, thank you all for coming.
Speaker 1: We would encourage everyone to take as many pictures as
Speaker 1: you would like and hashtag them with fantasy things. We
Speaker 1: will use those any which way, retweet.
Speaker 2: Them, sitting in front of a Bucky slogo, sticking in
Speaker 2: front of a Bucky's logo, whatever you so desire.
Speaker 1: We will use these pictures in some manner. But for
Speaker 1: those of you who may or may not be familiar
Speaker 1: with the concept of this show, fantasy football is kind
Speaker 1: of a thing, kind of a big deal, right, that's
Speaker 1: been going on forever. We decided many years ago to
Speaker 1: take a different spin on fantasy football, or at least
Speaker 1: our brand of fantasy football, and rather than draft players
Speaker 1: college football players. We decided that we would look at
Speaker 1: the college football season before us and instead draft storylines,
Speaker 1: draft odd of ease, draft things, narratives, things we just
Speaker 1: enjoy happening. Yeah, things that we as fans enjoy happening.
Speaker 2: So give an example, give some examples of previous year's picks.
Speaker 1: The best pick of all time was yours, which was
Speaker 1: the backup is better than the start always, you're right
Speaker 1: here it, especially in college they have deep depth charts
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, the backup quarterback, he would start
Speaker 1: it nine other schools, right right. It always sort of
Speaker 1: works that way.
Speaker 2: So we get we score it, and we get points
Speaker 2: as often as it happens. And we've just come to
Speaker 2: realize that we just want to pick funny things that
Speaker 2: only happen occasionally but make us laugh incredibly. So we
Speaker 2: have across college football selected a number of things. I
Speaker 2: think six rounds.
Speaker 1: Worth six rounds snake Draft, which is a little weird
Speaker 1: for only six rounds, but we've got six rounds and
Speaker 1: we're going to do the same thing tomorrow in DC.
Speaker 1: This is a totally different show. We worked hard to
Speaker 1: put this one to get, well, not that hard, but
Speaker 1: we walked, worked hard to put this one together and
Speaker 1: then have an entirely separate content. It's scheduled for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Correct, ladies and gentlemen, Robert, No, he's not here. So
Speaker 2: here's the way this is gonna work. We're gonna go
Speaker 2: back and forth. We're going to talk through all sorts
Speaker 2: of college football oddities before each pick.
Speaker 1: Though. There is going to be a sound that some
Speaker 1: of you may be familiar with, Taylor, if you could,
Speaker 1: there is there is. We stole that from ESPN. Don't
Speaker 1: tell them. Yeah, we flipped a coin. Hm. We decided
Speaker 1: that I was going to go first, I believe because
Speaker 1: I drove up here from Austin. That's correct. Should we
Speaker 1: get started?
Speaker 2: You feel good about so? We've drafted things. It's sort
Speaker 2: of like the NBA Draft lottery, where right, it was
Speaker 2: all notarized in the car. Yeah, So I think it's time.
Speaker 2: I think we should do it.
Speaker 1: I think it is time, ladies and gentlemen, let's go.
Speaker 1: Let's get this thing started. There it is, and there
Speaker 1: will be questions after anybody. We'll do a Q and
Speaker 1: A after. We're not going to record that, So really
Speaker 1: go for it, really really? Yeah? All right, Taylor, if
Speaker 1: you could. With the first pick to yours truly. In
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Fantasy Things draft, I select urban Meyer
Speaker 1: Coaching Room Smart Smart, so he hit me through it.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about urban Meyer. Urban Meyer has lost
Speaker 1: thirty two games, and however many years he's been coaching.
Speaker 1: That's really that's like better than Kansas over the last
Speaker 1: five seasons. Right, I believe so, I believe that, Quick
Speaker 1: bath Right.
Speaker 2: I went to a state school.
Speaker 1: And he said, three months ago, when people asked him
Speaker 1: quite pointedly, are you done coaching? He's done coaching? And
Speaker 1: he said, listen, I'm done. I'm done.
Speaker 2: I think I learned my lesson, right. I think I
Speaker 2: think I'm done.
Speaker 1: Right. Do you think that will stop people from talking
Speaker 1: about urban Meyer inevitably going to USC? No, because he's
Speaker 1: what did he saying?
Speaker 2: I just heard no, you sa section. Indeed, I think
Speaker 2: people will talk about it. I mean, who isn't watching
Speaker 2: the Fox pre game show. He's gonna be in all
Speaker 2: of our minds. I don't think it's gonna happen. I
Speaker 2: think the thought of for USC fans, of saying we're
Speaker 2: gonna get urban Meyer is more of a threat than
Speaker 2: a desire like Oh, okay. I don't think he's gonna
Speaker 2: like LA. I don't think it's gonna be a fit,
Speaker 2: and I think they would go in a different direction.
Speaker 2: And honestly, I don't think USC is going to hire
Speaker 2: them even if they get rid of Helton. But it
Speaker 2: will not stop the rumors because people have to talk
Speaker 2: about something, and trust me, occasionally in LA they talk about.
Speaker 1: College football, not very often. Well here's the thing. Is
Speaker 1: he too serious for LA?
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely think about I don't know if you've ever
Speaker 2: seen there are commercials in California by the Tourism Board
Speaker 2: of California. They have like Magic Johnson and actors and
Speaker 2: actresses talent talking about how cool and laid back and
Speaker 2: come ride the wave and cal Can you imagine urban
Speaker 2: Meyer appearing in any of that? The Clippers just spent
Speaker 2: like five hundred million dollars on players and nobody cares.
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna care about urban Meyer in USC. But the
Speaker 2: rumors elsewhere are going to persist because people need something
Speaker 2: to talk about.
Speaker 1: I think anytime he looks wooden and somewhat resentful on
Speaker 1: that Fox pregame show.
Speaker 2: Anytime anytime he does that's his resting face.
Speaker 1: Anytime he does, that's what he looks like. Anytime he
Speaker 1: does right, that will be a little bit more wood
Speaker 1: for the fire. Right. Sure does Urban want to go
Speaker 1: to la right.
Speaker 2: Now and he's gonna be out there doing I think
Speaker 2: urban Meyer would take the head coaching job of like
Speaker 2: the Finnish national soccer team. The misery baked into the
Speaker 2: Scandinavian way of life, I think is better suited for
Speaker 2: urban Meyer than California. He needs that sort of gut
Speaker 2: wrenching misery to exist.
Speaker 1: It would it would likely bother him that the others
Speaker 1: around him. I think you'll you'll do well. I think
Speaker 1: you'll get points. I'll get point. Do we know what
Speaker 1: the scoring system is for the Spilelight No, it's it's
Speaker 1: sort of like Calvin Ball. It changes as we go
Speaker 1: every year. I think it's a really good pick.
Speaker 2: It's smart, it's smart, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: What's boring, it's wooden.
Speaker 2: It's an awl pick. Shout out to Stratford High, Houston, Texas.
Speaker 2: That's all I know, all right, Urban Meyer coach, let's
Speaker 2: good pick.
Speaker 1: It's a good pick. Taylor. I think we're sharing a beer.
Speaker 1: Is that the difference I'm gonna get I'm gonna go get.
Speaker 1: I was hearing murmurs back there. Okay.
Speaker 2: With the second overall, Big Dan Rubinstein selects he's got
Speaker 2: a little Baker Mayfield to Baker Mayfield though.
Speaker 1: All right, so I have I have questions about Bield.
Speaker 1: You gotta raise the register for your time. Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: it out? What?
Speaker 2: What does having a little Baker Mayfield in him?
Speaker 1: Meaning? I have no idea.
Speaker 2: I think it's some combination of being five to ten
Speaker 2: and a half and kind of a prick, which it's like,
Speaker 2: which to me?
Speaker 1: Is I like that?
Speaker 2: I think we've got like seventeen Baker Mayfield types in
Speaker 2: this audience.
Speaker 1: A quick scan, but I love you. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it means.
Speaker 2: I have a list here and this is media members,
Speaker 2: this is random fans, this is media guides quotes. I
Speaker 2: have all of the people who quote have a little
Speaker 2: bit of Baker Mayfield to him, and it is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Here we go and I don't know. I still don't
Speaker 2: know what it means. Is it feisty, isn't I don't
Speaker 2: know if it's good it's bad. But this is one
Speaker 2: true because we verified this with Price Waterhouse Coopers.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 2: Okay, what are we like an Ernstin Young show. I
Speaker 2: don't understand, okay, Oh, Sam Howell, North Carolina hasn't played
Speaker 2: a college.
Speaker 1: You freshman, never played a snap before. It has a
Speaker 1: little Baker Mayfield to him.
Speaker 2: Will Greer, Tommy DeVito, British comedy legend Alan Bowman, Trace
Speaker 2: McSorley wasn't good last year, uh Ian book, Charlie Brewer,
Speaker 2: Sam Hartman, wake Forest, Dereck King Houston, Oklahoma States softball player,
Speaker 2: Samantha Show Real one hundred percent Real, Drew Locke, longtime
Speaker 2: shortstop Troy Tulwinski, reel again. We're going Brock Perty, Matt
Speaker 2: Carral Cornell quarterback Preston Colbert, apparently a.
Speaker 1: Little bag of Montle little bit.
Speaker 2: As you watched the season, he's gonna be the new
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson.
Speaker 1: Not just in the pro. This is a college football podcast.
Speaker 2: You were going to see college quarterbacks compared to Baker
Speaker 2: Mayfield who are nowhere near as good as him. And
Speaker 2: they're like, I don't know, he's got a little wiggled
Speaker 2: to him.
Speaker 1: There's a little he's got that swagger right just it.
Speaker 1: He runs a little hot.
Speaker 2: He was accused of manslaughters. Yeah, unbelievable. Don't manslaughter. Everybody
Speaker 2: don't know if it's.
Speaker 1: Good, bad, indifferent.
Speaker 2: I love it and I love it, so I'm feeling
Speaker 2: good about the point possibilities here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, next bay. So we're doing a snake
Speaker 1: draft here. Oh yeah, which means you get two in
Speaker 1: a row. Oh, this is a good one, all right.
Speaker 2: With a third pick, I have selected broadcasting catastrophes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: So this includes a lot of different things. But you know,
Speaker 2: sometimes you're watching a game and the audio doesn't fully
Speaker 2: cut out, but suddenly it sounds like the broadcasters are
Speaker 2: speaking over rotary phones where it's like, all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, Baker Mayfield drops back and a
Speaker 2: drop out audio dropped out, and we are we're gonna.
Speaker 1: Get it fixed. We're gonna get things worked out.
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's only one camera that works, and it's the
Speaker 2: wide cam or like a random end zone camera. Sometimes
Speaker 2: the graphics say a wide receiver's name is first name,
Speaker 2: last name. Yeah, that's the fairst personal favorite of mine.
Speaker 1: I don't root for it, but I kind of do.
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty happy with this because there are first
Speaker 2: of all, ESPN does not. This is kind of shocking
Speaker 2: to me. They don't broadcast all of the games on site.
Speaker 2: Sometimes the announcers are on site, right, and it's produced
Speaker 2: back in Bristol, which means chaos.
Speaker 1: Total k my favorite, and this is sort of a
Speaker 1: close first cousin of this is when everything goes sideways
Speaker 1: and then they just decide we don't have any audio, right,
Speaker 1: we can't pipe them in via Skype, like Sean McDonough is,
Speaker 1: he's m I A. We're gonna kick it back to
Speaker 1: Chris Cotter and he's gonna do the game from a
Speaker 1: sterile studio like set up back in Bristol. That's what
Speaker 1: he does, and inevitably it turns into like a podcast
Speaker 1: episod that would be like the best ESPN podcast to
Speaker 1: do that, but it's shots fire, but inevitably that's what
Speaker 1: ends up happening. It's sterile, there's no crowd, microphone whatsoever.
Speaker 1: There's no ambiance, and Chris Cotter is like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like second down. I guess, do you remember the
Speaker 1: Insight Bowl from like nine years ago? I believe Iowa
Speaker 1: was me. He doesn't.
Speaker 2: Shout out to the Insight Bowl fans out their insight
Speaker 2: dot com bowl. It's right, the wow shout out copper Ball.
Speaker 2: The the wire cam broke, that's.
Speaker 1: Right, fell.
Speaker 2: In fact, there was a stoppage. That's just like, that's
Speaker 2: one up, one up, one up. I'm getting so many points.
Speaker 2: If the wirecam falls, don't hurt anybody, wirecam?
Speaker 1: So does it count? If the pylon cam gets blown up? No,
Speaker 1: I mean that's gonna happen in a separate direction. If
Speaker 1: that's the only camera that we have available to watch
Speaker 1: the game.
Speaker 2: If we're squinting at something forty yards away with the
Speaker 2: pylon cam, yes, that counts.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: Otherwise, if the pilon cam is gonna it's gonna get hit.
Speaker 1: Sean McDonough via Skype is one of the funnier things.
Speaker 1: McDonough has been kidnapped. That counts if de Seaun McDonald
Speaker 1: still yeah, he does, okay. Next pick. Next pick is
Speaker 1: a personal favorite, maybe not just for me, but for
Speaker 1: many in the room. I select Mac Brown aka Old Dog,
Speaker 1: New Tricks, New Tricks Balance. So I must I must
Speaker 1: be very specific, very specific. We did a pick last
Speaker 1: year where we talked about Scott Frost going back home
Speaker 1: to Lincoln, Nebraska, Welcome Home Scott Frost, and we knew
Speaker 1: that that was going to be like a tired story.
Speaker 1: Everyone is going to talk about welcome home Scot where
Speaker 1: they're gon fly banners on the stadium right, And we said,
Speaker 1: rather than that, we need to see a picture of
Speaker 1: Scott Frost from back in his playing days with a
Speaker 1: shirt a little too short and there must be a
Speaker 1: belly button show. You gotta see that. So I am
Speaker 1: kind of building on that, and I'm saying Mac Brown
Speaker 1: in any kind of published works, I don't care if
Speaker 1: it's digital traditional. We need to see his nabel. No
Speaker 1: that what we're saying, No, no, no, yeah, different, different, Okay,
Speaker 1: it needs to contain both the phrase old dog and
Speaker 1: new tricks.
Speaker 2: Old dog, new tricks, Old dog and new tricks.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal with one Mac Brown. As I'm
Speaker 1: sure many of the room know, Mac Brown has not
Speaker 1: coached since twenty thirteen.
Speaker 2: Wow, he was probably really good, though when debatable a
Speaker 2: couple I heard some groans. Its case, McCoy put his
Speaker 2: uniform on correctly as far as I know all the time.
Speaker 1: It has been twenty two years since he was last
Speaker 1: at UNC. They decided that in lieu of Flarry Fedora
Speaker 1: and whatever went on during Larry Fedora's time in Chapel Hill.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to the well. We're gonna go
Speaker 1: back to what worked before twenty two years ago, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna hire Mac Brown. Now, every college football reporter
Speaker 1: that I have read who has interviewed Mack Brown or
Speaker 1: has gone down to check I went down to the
Speaker 1: Chapel Hill to talk to Mac Brown, see what's going on.
Speaker 1: Everybody comes away intoxicated by this charm offensive that Mac
Speaker 1: Brown is so good at What.
Speaker 2: Do they say about his true freshman quarterback Sam Howell?
Speaker 2: A little bit of Baker Mayfield to him all the
Speaker 2: callback be the first.
Speaker 1: Time, but you know, now he's like got people kind
Speaker 1: of on his side, and I hope it works for him,
Speaker 1: because everybody likes Mac Brown. But he's kind of like
Speaker 1: going to a spread offense and he's going to try
Speaker 1: out a defensive coordinator from Army yep, and just it
Speaker 1: feels like he is the old dogs trying some new tricks,
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure they're going to work right at you,
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure he has the people to run
Speaker 1: what he wants to run. Right.
Speaker 2: We got Bobby Patrina going back to Louisville. Great, as
Speaker 2: far as I remember, everything went well, Oh no, oh no, no, no,
Speaker 2: they didn't cut super well, feed you out the feed.
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried, not that North Carolina feels
Speaker 2: burned by him leaving, but coming back after he told
Speaker 2: them I found a better looking lady, and now he's
Speaker 2: coming back and he realized maybe this is the lady
Speaker 2: for him. I'm a little bit worried that it's going
Speaker 2: to go kind of you know, rocky direction, sooner rather
Speaker 2: than later. I'm scared of heights, and sometimes when I
Speaker 2: go up to the top of a water slide, I
Speaker 2: get up there, I'm like, no, it's not for me.
Speaker 2: And I think that's gonna happen at some point with
Speaker 2: Mac Brown, because he's I don't think he fully realizes
Speaker 2: what coaching in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Is going to entail at a powerhouse sixty seven years old,
Speaker 1: I believe. Yeah, so this is clearly non intended to
Speaker 1: be like a long, long term move. Better looking than
Speaker 1: Randy Edzel on the right. Maybe yeah, oh I saw it.
Speaker 1: Maybe I didn't say the definitively wow, no brainer to me. Okay,
Speaker 1: but I'm curious to see how this goes, because you
Speaker 1: know the game, it's always the thing when an old
Speaker 1: coach comes back, Like, first off, any coaching changes a
Speaker 1: bit of a coin flip, right, and then secondly, when
Speaker 1: you bring the old coach back, it's like a double
Speaker 1: coin flip to see if he's still he's still got it.
Speaker 1: So I envisioned this being the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: Tom Rinaldi just loves. Oh my god, Tom red this
Speaker 1: is This is exactly Rinaldi Port. Where we're gonna have
Speaker 1: like it's either something that doesn't google Rinaldi Port. Don't
Speaker 1: do that, please don't.
Speaker 2: But we're gonna have a situation on college game day
Speaker 2: where it's.
Speaker 1: Like, can you teach this old dog you can tricks? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I think it's gonna get weird.
Speaker 2: This is a secretly good pick, right, Alright, here's the
Speaker 2: full list of recent people who have come back to
Speaker 2: previous jobs and really killed it. Bill Snyder, Okay, there's
Speaker 2: the list.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think it'll be fun for a
Speaker 1: little while and then it's gonna get weird, probably like tonight,
Speaker 1: probably tonight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm up for again. Aren't I yes,
Speaker 2: you are snaked, all right.
Speaker 1: I love this pic. You love every pick I love.
Speaker 1: That's a problem children with my next pick I select.
Speaker 1: I like the drama building. Here's good. You can fits
Speaker 1: palpable Garrett's Gilbert I select going to the storm radar
Speaker 1: in the midst of a lightning delay. Yeah, now you're
Speaker 1: a secret meteorologist, so this really very secret. But so
Speaker 1: here's my thing. And I was thinking about this on
Speaker 1: the long drive up here.
Speaker 2: I don't ever remember when we were younger there being
Speaker 2: such thing as a lightning delay in a football game.
Speaker 1: It wasn't until the millennial, Star Day Millennial.
Speaker 2: It wasn't until the millennials took over that this was
Speaker 2: the thing books. Yeah, And so inevitably what happens is
Speaker 2: there's like a storm delay, right, it's like, oh okay,
Speaker 2: Like we've.
Speaker 1: Asked the fans to shelter go into the corridor, and
Speaker 1: the players have been like there're been like nine hour
Speaker 1: games that have transpired over the last five years or so,
Speaker 1: and there's always that scene where they got to like, well,
Speaker 1: we have nothing to show here. We can go back
Speaker 1: to the to the studio, but we need to at
Speaker 1: least give fans some expectation for when this when we
Speaker 1: can start this thing back up again, right, And then
Speaker 1: they go to the radar.
Speaker 2: They always go to the radar, and they do they
Speaker 2: have a professional looking at the radar.
Speaker 1: Now, no, no, I'll get to the exception.
Speaker 2: But they always have somebody looking at the radar and
Speaker 2: they're reading off of whatever the National Weather Service has
Speaker 2: told them for how long it might be.
Speaker 1: The guild.
Speaker 2: They can get people Weather Service in one ear and
Speaker 2: then somebody on the ground at the game in the
Speaker 2: other ear, and whatever they're saying makes no sense and
Speaker 2: we have no idea what's going on, and they only
Speaker 2: make it more difficult.
Speaker 1: So you don't have the meteorologists pointing, you have the
Speaker 1: weather guy pointing at the radar. All you have is
Speaker 1: just a stationary radar that's sort of moving and you
Speaker 1: don't really know what to make of it. And sometimes,
Speaker 1: if you're lucky, maybe we can go to the next
Speaker 1: slide tailor. It's always him. We mentioned Chris Conner before.
Speaker 1: I don't believe he's even doing studio this year. That's
Speaker 1: what Adam and he told us.
Speaker 2: We asked him to make sure, and it was like
Speaker 2: that joke's not gonna land, but it kind of did.
Speaker 1: It's like they might go to him as he's doing
Speaker 1: ACC network game. It's just real weird being right under
Speaker 1: his chin. It's a big Chris Cotter. Yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: they always go to somebody back in the studio because
Speaker 1: they don't know what else to do trying to read
Speaker 1: the radar. The only exception is Mike Terrico. Is he good?
Speaker 1: Have you heard Mike Terico? Do?
Speaker 2: I watched Notre Dame games. I watched football.
Speaker 1: Underneath about to college. Mike to Rico is astoundedly good
Speaker 1: at doing the weather.
Speaker 2: I believe that he knows like how cells move, and like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, he's really.
Speaker 1: Into the weather. Whenever he's done it during Notre Dame games,
Speaker 1: lightning delay, anything like that. Mike Rico must see TV
Speaker 1: knows his weather, to say the least.
Speaker 2: So that's the only exception when this is like, could
Speaker 2: we go to Chris Cotter while he's calling a game
Speaker 2: for the ACC network, because who's actually going to know
Speaker 2: that he's calling a game for the ACC network. Everybody
Speaker 2: pumped for the ACC Network in this room. See, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: ACC is just acceptable.
Speaker 1: That's fine. Chris Cotter. Yeah, maybe doing the lightning delays.
Speaker 1: Maybe not, but this is the kind of thing that
Speaker 1: happens like once or twice every year. I love it
Speaker 1: so much, and I love it every time it happens.
Speaker 1: It's sure.
Speaker 2: Do you think was there there was a movie with
Speaker 2: said Gerard Butler who was trying to control the weather.
Speaker 1: It was a sci fi movie geos.
Speaker 2: Yes. I just reminded me, Oh, that's the whole If
Speaker 2: that could change things for for the situation, I'm going I'm.
Speaker 1: Going with storm radar. Okay, I like that radar, but
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go mostly next pick. Here we go. What
Speaker 1: is the next pick? Oh? This is a good one.
Speaker 2: Okay, it's Chris Connor. It's Chris Connor.
Speaker 1: Is this the right order? All right? Just put it
Speaker 1: on the screen. What's the next pick?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't say that, right, doesn't.
Speaker 1: Did I mess it up? I think you did? Okay.
Speaker 2: So this this story came out a few weeks ago
Speaker 2: that LSU got a new football facility. I think it
Speaker 2: was money donated from alone was paid for the new
Speaker 2: football stelity.
Speaker 1: Everybody got up in arms like they have.
Speaker 2: Sleep pods, and everybody's like, that's so cool that they
Speaker 2: have sleep pods. Nobody had heard of sleep pods before
Speaker 2: LSU had sleep pods. And you know what's better than
Speaker 2: a sleepod that looks like.
Speaker 1: That, a bed? A bed is so much better. You
Speaker 1: know what else is better?
Speaker 2: Probably a beanbag chair and one thousand dollars in your
Speaker 2: pocket and every I mean, raise your hand if you'd
Speaker 2: rather have a beanbag and a thousand dollars in your
Speaker 2: probet there it is, okay. I don't know what a sleephotted.
Speaker 2: It seems kind of uncomfortable. And we are going to
Speaker 2: hear about sleepods because we're going to be seeing LSU's
Speaker 2: new locker room in perpetuity as teams figure out what
Speaker 2: to spend money on, Like this is the problem, right,
Speaker 2: locker rooms and the training table and luxury athletic trainers everything.
Speaker 1: And we have sleep pods.
Speaker 2: We're going to get luxurious gyms, to get luxurious cafeterias.
Speaker 2: They're going to run out of things and then they're
Speaker 2: just going to have to give them American dollars, which
Speaker 2: seems okay.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when having a like iPad that showed
Speaker 1: your NAE Like I can't speak from experience, yeah, obviously,
Speaker 1: but after right, do you remember when it was a
Speaker 1: big deal to have the iPad right with the player's
Speaker 1: name digitally on the line. I can shazam right from
Speaker 1: my locker. It was amazing. Yes, and now we're at
Speaker 1: this point where it's like locker rooms are going to
Speaker 1: turn into the new prom post slides.
Speaker 2: Everyone is trying to outdo right each other, and it
Speaker 2: can't go to a good place.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's in Clemson. It's a play place.
Speaker 2: It's a McDonald's backyard, and that's apparently what college kids
Speaker 2: want slides.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Something has cost me.
Speaker 2: It's a brewster's million situations, like asking his money quick.
Speaker 2: We got to spend the money real quick. Sleep pods.
Speaker 1: How has Oregon spent their money?
Speaker 2: They bought responsibly and suitably maturely.
Speaker 1: I don't know why you would bring up Oregon. Well,
Speaker 1: they've got all the new.
Speaker 2: Uniforms and it seems like they sort of play into
Speaker 2: this one like one up. And do they have all
Speaker 2: Brazilian walnut in their facilities?
Speaker 1: Maybe?
Speaker 2: Maybe, but that's okay, that's all ridiculous. Facility upgrades are
Speaker 2: definitely the kind of thing that draws attention during like
Speaker 2: college game day, yes, or you know, there's a stoppage
Speaker 2: of play somehow, Someway and Chris.
Speaker 1: Fowlers like, you know, they just upgrade the facilities this
Speaker 1: past year. They've got a ballpit. Now see, I'd be
Speaker 1: okay with that. I'm fine with a ballpit.
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, it's like we're gonna constantly.
Speaker 1: Now. Can you imagine one of the culture one of
Speaker 1: those commercials.
Speaker 2: So we talked this was a fantasy thing a couple
Speaker 2: of years ago, where it was like anytime there's a
Speaker 2: commercial featuring a microscope and somebody dancing for a college
Speaker 2: that counted as fantasy things.
Speaker 1: And it turns out every.
Speaker 2: University commercial features a microscope and somebody dancing.
Speaker 1: The arts is dance.
Speaker 2: How many of these if you could see in your
Speaker 2: mind a commercial that's microscope, somebody is playing sports, somebody
Speaker 2: is you know, writing in a tutoring session, and there's
Speaker 2: a bunch of three hundred pound dudes in.
Speaker 1: A ball pit.
Speaker 2: I'm listening, That's all I'm saying. If I'm sixteen, like,
Speaker 2: I like microphones dancing involved this, So it's it's singing
Speaker 2: my name.
Speaker 1: So I'm okay with that. I like that, Okay, I
Speaker 1: do all right? We should do an update. Yeah, here
Speaker 1: we go. Let's take a look. All right.
Speaker 2: We've got urban rumors, old dog mac which don't google
Speaker 2: that either, No, I don't.
Speaker 1: We've got the lightning radar and.
Speaker 2: We got my lid them. Do you like your team
Speaker 2: right now better than my team? Well?
Speaker 1: Yes, well I don't even have to say it. What
Speaker 1: what pick do you like better? Whoever said that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Rivers is strong, boring, but strong. It is boring, It's
Speaker 2: very strong. Yeah, what's okay? If you like my team better,
Speaker 2: let's hear it.
Speaker 1: All right. And if you like my team.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Clarification question, yeah you may yes, no, No.
Speaker 2: Specific to l s U players in uncomfortable looking rectangles. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I was just gonna talk about BUCkies, all right. I'm
Speaker 2: clearly established dominance in the room.
Speaker 1: I have a good feeling about this. Next pick, This
Speaker 1: one goes to mister Dan Rubenstein. Is this my favorite?
Speaker 1: This is my this is sleeper?
Speaker 2: The pick is Marty Smith committing to a bit. If
Speaker 2: anybody in this room can tell me what Marty Smith's
Speaker 2: actual job is, I'm just gonna call you a liar
Speaker 2: because nobody knows Marty Smith wears quarter zips. Explains southern
Speaker 2: cooking to somebody goes to Italy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he and Tim.
Speaker 2: Tebo get haircuts together. He goes to Dubai because there's
Speaker 2: a Georgia fan maybe working there. And I don't know
Speaker 2: what his job is. I don't know if he has
Speaker 2: a LinkedIn and how he describes it. And I'm going
Speaker 2: to this is one hundred percent genuine. I love Marty Smith.
Speaker 2: I love somebody that I'm not really sure what he does.
Speaker 2: He seems charting charming. Everybody says he's really nice and
Speaker 2: really kind to people, but it appears that he just
Speaker 2: wears tight suits and doesn't eat carbs and likes things
Speaker 2: below Maryland.
Speaker 1: So right, that would be the Mason Dixon life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there's there's something about Marty Smith as he
Speaker 2: goes across mostly the South. I don't know if you've
Speaker 2: ever seen a picture of him before he had the beard.
Speaker 2: It's very scary when he comes against part Is. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he's very different looking.
Speaker 1: So true true story on that point. Marty Smith has
Speaker 1: a cult following. Yeah, he has a heart of falling.
Speaker 1: Because we've been to National champs, We've been to like
Speaker 1: some of these bowl games where Marty Smith is there.
Speaker 1: He's sort of walking around and like he can't go
Speaker 1: four feet without someone asking, can we have a selfie
Speaker 1: with you? Marty correct? Love your work, worst man? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what I'll say about him? And again I've heard the
Speaker 1: same stuff. Everyone loves Marty Smith. He's a fashionable dude
Speaker 1: because he wears all the fashion trends all the time.
Speaker 1: At the same time, he is the pioneer, the pioneer
Speaker 1: who brought the sneaker. The studio host sneaker trend like
Speaker 1: sneaker and suits, right, he is the one who brought
Speaker 1: that to ESPN.
Speaker 2: Like an adorable little usher at a wedding that is
Speaker 2: wearing Chucks with the suit.
Speaker 1: That is correct. Marty Smith is like the grown up version.
Speaker 1: That is correct.
Speaker 2: He is the three year old usher after dark. Yeah again,
Speaker 2: we love Marty Smith. We love, love, love Marty Smith.
Speaker 2: I just he commits to bits during the NBA Draft
Speaker 2: and this won't count because it's not college football. But
Speaker 2: he was down in New Orleans when they took Zion
Speaker 2: Williamson and he crowdsurfed through the French court after they
Speaker 2: took him. Nobody goes to Pelicans games, but Marty Smith
Speaker 2: is there to be crowd surf during the NBA Draft.
Speaker 1: It has a little bit of a bear grills feel
Speaker 1: to it, where it's like, sure, I'll drink my own pea.
Speaker 2: Like where did this come from?
Speaker 1: Why not? Why not? I guess Yeah. He does commit
Speaker 1: to it, he does go for it.
Speaker 2: And so there is there's something that he just randomly
Speaker 2: on game day is going to appear randomly during a
Speaker 2: game in again a quarter zip and a scarf and
Speaker 2: dressy sneakers and all sorts of deful It's the same
Speaker 2: time he'll show up next to Tim Tebow and they
Speaker 2: both have their like side shaved gel cone. I don't
Speaker 2: know what to call that hairstyle. It sounds like a
Speaker 2: handle you would call yourself encounter strike side.
Speaker 1: Shave gel cone. But I just love it. I love
Speaker 1: every bit of it. Look at Marty Smith.
Speaker 2: He's a charman guy.
Speaker 1: He is okay him? Yeah, all right, next pick, I
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit, if we could get
Speaker 1: serious for a second. Yeah, about coaches when their hair
Speaker 1: goes roke. Yeah, let's have this conversation in earnest. It's
Speaker 1: a friendly room. We can have this suscession. So a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, Bigger Kraken from King Pit.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a few years ago I drafted Mike Gundy's hair,
Speaker 1: and I think.
Speaker 2: That was before he grew the mullet, wasn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you like hairlines. There's something about you and hairlines.
Speaker 1: You love that.
Speaker 2: Bob Diaco, former Notre Dame defensive coordinator, very strong hairlines.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oklah heah analyst. He took a hardball, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: his socks down. Yeah, but I had this. I don't
Speaker 1: know why I drafted Mike Gundy's hair and then like
Speaker 1: a year later he grew a freaking mullet, and I
Speaker 1: had I was inundated with people riding in saying what
Speaker 1: did you like see this?
Speaker 2: Did you do? No?
Speaker 1: I don't know. So I thought this would be a
Speaker 1: good time. Now that it's been a few years, removed
Speaker 1: to sort of level set, let's just examine the coaching
Speaker 1: profession as a whole as it relates to hair.
Speaker 2: I'm just picturing you, like getting inside information for the
Speaker 2: fantasy things, calling barbers around still Water like you're on Billions,
Speaker 2: getting inside info before a stock hit.
Speaker 1: Talking about are you hearing about Gundy? Yeah?
Speaker 2: So, of course the hair on top of the head
Speaker 2: is the stuff that most visibly goes rope. The stuff
Speaker 2: that I'm most excited about is I think the movement
Speaker 2: we've seen in college football with facial hair. And I
Speaker 2: want to talk about Lovely Smith.
Speaker 1: A little bit.
Speaker 2: Holy hell, we don't have a picture of him at already,
Speaker 2: but imagine Shaved had big white puff. It's a sant
Speaker 2: of beard. Yeah, it's amazing. He grew it last year.
Speaker 1: It's like time stood still for that moment realizing that
Speaker 1: this is a real thing that's going to continue. But
Speaker 1: it wasn't just him.
Speaker 2: We've seen Larry Fedora grow a beard kind of at random,
Speaker 2: just to get a little edgy. We've seen Mark ricked.
Speaker 2: I think when Mark Rick left Georgia he was trying
Speaker 2: to break out of his shell little bit going down
Speaker 2: to z Alma Mater at Miami.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden he's got a little peach fuzz here.
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of curious what twenty nineteen might
Speaker 1: bring as it relates to coaching hair. Dan. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: Manny Diaz is going to be up there.
Speaker 2: He's going to be up there because he has like
Speaker 2: the one o'clock shadow, where after lunch it starts coming
Speaker 2: in and so he just might have a mustache one
Speaker 2: day without even realizing it. I appreciate that the going
Speaker 2: rogue thing is grace because sometimes it's it's pretty easy
Speaker 2: to keep a beer trimmed or a mustache trimmed or whatever.
Speaker 2: Sometimes coaches make deals with players that they won't shave
Speaker 2: until they lose that kind of thing, which I think
Speaker 2: is pretty endearing and fun. It brings everybody together. There's
Speaker 2: something about Dana Holgerson. This is an older picture, but
Speaker 2: there's something about his hair that he's not willing to
Speaker 2: give up on that seems equal parts amazing confidence. Ladies
Speaker 2: love a confident man. Sure, and also that his hair
Speaker 2: is like a group of fans escaping a lightning delay,
Speaker 2: like oh god, no, no, oh god, oh no, and
Speaker 2: he's okay.
Speaker 1: Picture. Yeah, it's a great picture.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know which coaches specifically, because I
Speaker 2: think coaches are getting a little bit more. They're paying
Speaker 2: more attention to their grooming and their personal detail.
Speaker 1: As I don't know, it's such a weird conversation. It
Speaker 1: won't be Mac Brown. Nothing.
Speaker 2: Nothing's going rogue about Mac Brown. No, no, no no.
Speaker 2: And you know what else I appreciate this is actually
Speaker 2: this is going against you. At the same time, both
Speaker 2: Tom Herman and PJ. Fleck were really.
Speaker 1: Losing and they cleaned it up. They cleaned it up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's holding on. He's hold on. He's holding on, He's
Speaker 1: hold on. He brought the show down here to Texas
Speaker 1: r Yeah, he did, so we'll see it. Yeah, that's right. Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't. Yeah, it's silent. Yeah, okay. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what the future may hold for.
Speaker 2: Anybody else you think is gonna go rogue facial hair wise,
Speaker 2: anybody you'd like to see.
Speaker 1: I would like to see what Steve Dazio could do
Speaker 1: if you just let it go up Toeah. Oh my god, no,
Speaker 1: because he's because he's like mister cleanup top right. I
Speaker 1: want to see if he just like, you know what
Speaker 1: it would be like. It would be like flying over
Speaker 1: a Dakota at nights.
Speaker 2: You'd see a little light here, it's a little light there,
Speaker 2: little forrests.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's great. I don't think hear it.
Speaker 1: Coaching hair going wrong, coaching hair going wrong. Okay, next
Speaker 1: pick for my next pick, is it Marty Smith. No,
Speaker 1: I am going to select announcers who gush a little
Speaker 1: bit too much about a upcoming network TV show.
Speaker 2: This is my favorite, I lied.
Speaker 1: So, so here's the way this works. Okay, they come
Speaker 1: back from commercial and inevitably, Chris Fowler Adam Amine our friend,
Speaker 1: somebody is handed a Q card and it's got a
Speaker 1: script on it, and it's talking about a show, any
Speaker 1: show that that network has to try and promote. You
Speaker 1: want to coach, and there's quant of thanking. There's no
Speaker 1: way that you can go from that read back into
Speaker 1: the game without a very long and awkward, pregnant pause.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Brad Nesler's pretty smooth, but even he when he's
Speaker 2: like a half man, there's Yeah, it's Charlie And.
Speaker 1: What happens in that pregnant pause is what I'm talking
Speaker 1: about right here. Yeah, because last season, I don't know
Speaker 1: how many Notre Damers we have in the room here,
Speaker 1: but last season no settle down. Last season, during the
Speaker 1: Notre Dame games, Doug Flutie was all in on a
Speaker 1: show called Manifest. This is true. You've told me about
Speaker 1: this many times. He was all in on Manifest. And
Speaker 1: here's why this is a sleeper pick. Yeah, what is Manifest?
Speaker 1: By the way. I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's like, I think it's like Lost, but yeah, on
Speaker 2: NBC it's Diet Lost. Yes, yeah, they renewed Lost for
Speaker 2: or excuse me, they renewed Manifest for season.
Speaker 1: Two, as we all know. But Doug Flutie is like
Speaker 1: all in on this thing, man, He's like, well, that's
Speaker 1: I can't wait to watch next week. Can you believe
Speaker 1: what's going on there? No one's watching, No one's watched
Speaker 1: that show. They decided to renew it. Doug Flutie's gonna gush.
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, if you watch college football with
Speaker 1: any regularity, Doug Fluodie is not the only one doing it.
Speaker 1: He might be the worst of doing it because's Doug Flutie.
Speaker 2: Now, but he's not the only one out there who
Speaker 2: is doing this where there's that long pause and it's.
Speaker 1: Like, let's talk about Quantico. Why like Quantico Priak? She's great, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're watching.
Speaker 2: Blue Bloods there, Gary, he always is. Gary Danielson loves
Speaker 2: blue Bloods. Everybody knows that about Gary.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I enjoy this a lot because a lot of them
Speaker 2: are older and they're watching Network TV that's pretty much
Speaker 2: pointed at them, and they have something to say. But
Speaker 2: Doug Flutie's enthusiasm is startling.
Speaker 1: It is startling. Yeah, it's it's a little I can't
Speaker 1: talk about Doug Flootie the straight vase. Why not?
Speaker 2: Sometimes really sometime I like him when he does this, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's when it's exciting.
Speaker 1: Doug Flooty just goes out of his way to overcompliment
Speaker 1: O posing quarterbacks at all times.
Speaker 2: When I was finding this beautiful imagery and look up
Speaker 2: Doug Flutie, I discovered that there was a change dot
Speaker 2: org petition to remove.
Speaker 1: Him from Notre Dame fans, and it was started in
Speaker 1: this section. I yes, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know why somebody would go to that extent
Speaker 2: to remove Doug fluti from Notre Dame games. But somebody's
Speaker 2: grandparent has a lot of time on their hands.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm good. Next next pick.
Speaker 2: This is really good and it also technically includes Marty
Speaker 2: Smith because it is when broadcaster promos not promos, they
Speaker 2: promote a non household brand. Let me explain it sounds
Speaker 2: a little bit con for this. So kirk Herbstreet does
Speaker 2: commercials for Eckridge Sausage.
Speaker 1: Had anybody I hadn't had anybody.
Speaker 2: Heard of Acreage sausage?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: Wow, seventeen people, okay have heard. I looked it up
Speaker 2: and it's owned by E and then it's owned by
Speaker 2: somebody else, then owned by somebody else, and now it's
Speaker 2: owned by a giant Chinese conglomerate. So that's who Kark
Speaker 2: hurbent Street is doing sausage commercials for. And then I's
Speaker 2: really wrong with that, but that's what he's doing it for.
Speaker 2: It's fine the Shanghai Pork Meat Corp. But then getting
Speaker 2: in on the action Marty Smith is now doing Is
Speaker 2: he in there too? Marty Smith is in on the
Speaker 2: admitting to the bit once more. And then I dug
Speaker 2: a little bit deeper, Rhys Davis and Molly McGrath doing
Speaker 2: beverage DELI meats.
Speaker 1: Dug a little bit.
Speaker 2: Further, and I remembered Aaron Andrews was doing true biotics,
Speaker 2: which is a fancy way of saying pills that help
Speaker 2: you poop. And I think for a long time ESPN
Speaker 2: didn't allow its on air talent to advertise things. They
Speaker 2: wanted to keep it real straight. It's sort of like
Speaker 2: the NBA, sort of like the NCUBA.
Speaker 1: Then they said go for it.
Speaker 2: And An Andrews was like, I know my first move.
Speaker 2: I thought they'd never let me, but here I go.
Speaker 1: And then I saw there was a Laura Rutledge and
Speaker 1: tie who also appears in this commercial, Marty Smith.
Speaker 2: That's what Marty Smith does. It was for Academy Sports
Speaker 2: and Outdoors. It was a very bad commercial. But I
Speaker 2: feel like we're going to be getting more and more
Speaker 2: of these. I feel like we're going to be getting
Speaker 2: more of these endorsements of non A list brands. And
Speaker 2: I always really, I mean, it goes back to Aaron
Speaker 2: Andrews for me, because that was just out of nowhere
Speaker 2: because if you remember, the commercial was all of them
Speaker 2: playing a flag football game, yes, and tying.
Speaker 1: It back to probiotic pills.
Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly how it worked.
Speaker 1: There was like a huddle involved.
Speaker 2: And going deep and it all was very confusing, and
Speaker 2: I think we're going to be getting more of that.
Speaker 1: Didn't Jen Brown do something too? Probably she was working
Speaker 1: she was doing something for like a supplemental company. It's like,
Speaker 1: you're right, it's sort of like a thing now that
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing more of the acridge sauce. I
Speaker 1: can't even say it a Gridge Sausage. Yeah, that's weird.
Speaker 2: It is a little bit weird. I mean when I
Speaker 2: think about what is.
Speaker 1: The tie in between Kirk Kirbstreet and the sauce?
Speaker 2: Right, And when the first thing you think about with
Speaker 2: encased meats, you shouldn't be Kirk Herbstreet.
Speaker 1: To me, it should be something like a barbecue pit
Speaker 1: master or somebody like that. I mean, part of.
Speaker 2: Getting the spokesperson is having somebody who you think will
Speaker 2: help sell the product.
Speaker 1: Right, isn't a by that because.
Speaker 2: Of Kirk kurb Street, Not that I know of, But
Speaker 2: maybe I don't know why doing.
Speaker 1: This is my voice, like I have questions about these things. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they are.
Speaker 2: But I look forward to see, Like if we're going
Speaker 2: down another run of sausage, is it Joel Klatt?
Speaker 1: Which is.
Speaker 2: I mean, is Joel Klatt diet Herb Street is a
Speaker 2: Bible study Herbstreet?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, So we'll see.
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm excited to see where this goes, is
Speaker 2: what I'm telling you. Because when it comes to sausage,
Speaker 2: as all of our parents know, everything's.
Speaker 1: On the table. If here is the question that Taylor posed,
Speaker 1: Yeah before we came over here today. If you had
Speaker 1: to pick a one off brand, yeah for you that
Speaker 1: you would be the spokesperson for what would it be? Uh?
Speaker 1: It would be a cold brewer? I mean the brand
Speaker 1: would I think it was?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: Did I?
Speaker 2: It was like Oxo? They make a cold brewer. And
Speaker 2: speaking of what Aaron Andrews.
Speaker 1: Pills do, the cold brew is great. The cold brew
Speaker 1: is wonderful. Is David Sunflower Seeds? Enough? Off the off
Speaker 1: the radar? Ti Hilton ren for David, they're there? They
Speaker 1: lead the category?
Speaker 2: Do they?
Speaker 1: They lead the category? What about like Amazon Basics? That's
Speaker 1: that's terrible?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 1: The evil Empire cand that? Yeah? I'm Tie Hilton bran
Speaker 1: for USB cables. You need this and you kind of
Speaker 1: hate yourself.
Speaker 2: For buying it over and over again. That's why I'm
Speaker 2: Tie Hilton brands. Which one's lightning? Is it the same
Speaker 2: as thunderbolts?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I'm Ti Hilton brand for Amazon Basics.
Speaker 1: Who's to say? Is USBC the same as USB?
Speaker 2: Maybe that's for all our our cable nerds out there,
Speaker 2: Everyboddy shout out cable nerds.
Speaker 1: Okay, moving on, yeah, yeah, let's move on.
Speaker 2: Is my pick?
Speaker 1: I believe. So, oh my god, again this is.
Speaker 2: Terrible, all right with the next pick? Oh, this one
Speaker 2: I like a lot.
Speaker 1: The next pick.
Speaker 2: I am taking disrespect of small schools who are the
Speaker 2: only ones to offer somebody who finally gets a big
Speaker 2: offer that sounds like a word salad.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're watching a game and like, the only offer
Speaker 2: he got was from UT Chattanooga before Mississippi State swooped
Speaker 2: in at the last second, and you're thinking, oh, that's
Speaker 2: pretty cool Mississippi State offered him a scholarship. But also
Speaker 2: why the Chattanooga shade chattanoogho was all over this kid,
Speaker 2: chattanoog who wanted him? They were gonna celebrate him. Did
Speaker 2: you get an offer from Chattanooga? I didn't, So shout
Speaker 2: out to the Sacramento states of the world that are
Speaker 2: disrespected every single time.
Speaker 1: They're the only ones to offer a kid. Not to
Speaker 1: put you on the spot, is there is there a
Speaker 1: school that gave you an offer.
Speaker 2: I did have a conversation to play doubles tennis, you
Speaker 2: see San Diego.
Speaker 1: I'm an athlete Division three.
Speaker 2: Not really no, but like you remember when I used
Speaker 2: that specific example of UTY Chattanooga Mississippi State, because that's
Speaker 2: Nick Fitzgerald. Nick Fitzgerald. It was when he beat Texas
Speaker 2: A and M.
Speaker 1: Was that what happened? Yes? Yeah, sorry, sorry guys.
Speaker 2: Wait, so are you A wanting to give your A
Speaker 2: and M fans or happy that A and M lost
Speaker 2: to like the SEC's worst quarterback? Okay, just making sure,
Speaker 2: just making sure, same page. I liked that moment a
Speaker 2: lot because Dan Mullen, then Mississippi State coach, had a
Speaker 2: cigar in his mouth and was reminiscing about how the
Speaker 2: only offer was Chattanooga.
Speaker 1: And then after that game in.
Speaker 2: Which Nick Fitzgerald was really good and he ran all
Speaker 2: over A and M gigham, he was real bad.
Speaker 1: He was sort of the worst quarterback in the SEC.
Speaker 1: He looked like a Chattanooga quarterback, which is fine.
Speaker 2: Again, I don't think anybody in this room was offered
Speaker 2: by Chattanoogle. But I just I don't want to stand
Speaker 2: for that disrespect.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna happen a lot because we know
Speaker 2: about the offers that are coming in for these players,
Speaker 2: and I'm just not standing for the small school disrespect.
Speaker 1: Small school disrespect. Yeah, how does this compare to like
Speaker 1: old school Michigan State disrespect.
Speaker 2: Oh, this is much worse because this is this is
Speaker 2: saying you don't belong in the conversation.
Speaker 1: That's all I have.
Speaker 2: Sacramento State, Yeah, this is it's it's disrespectful. I think
Speaker 2: this is a Sam Houston State player behind us Sam
Speaker 2: Houston State. Yeah, that's former Phil Longo.
Speaker 1: They're the with the K Bearcats with the K. Never
Speaker 1: forget that? Yes? Is that true?
Speaker 2: Is there an origin story to that?
Speaker 1: Or they're just like fuck it, We're going with the K.
Speaker 1: How do we stand out? Ideas? Ideas ideas? Go with
Speaker 1: the K? Okay? All right, and that's how it happened.
Speaker 1: Right now. I don't want the disrespect. I like small schools.
Speaker 2: I mean, we can do a Patriot League lightning round
Speaker 2: right here.
Speaker 1: And right now we've gotten some we've gotten some letters. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, So I think I think we're on our
Speaker 1: last pick, last pick. Here, here we go, last pick.
Speaker 1: Has everybody heard of this song called Old Town Road?
Speaker 1: Wait me talking about you guys? Think about this other town?
Speaker 2: Sorry, this is a Jay Letton moment for you. That
Speaker 2: was good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm turning into him. That's weird.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I have to talk and admit about a
Speaker 2: G chat that you and I had. I heard this
Speaker 2: song on the way.
Speaker 1: Into work one day, the mysterious stage job, and I
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, Nas is back.
Speaker 2: That's typical ties like Nas is back, It's back Nas.
Speaker 1: And so I got in we had our normal G
Speaker 1: chat and Dan was like, no, no, this is Lil
Speaker 1: Nash okay.
Speaker 2: I do know it's the full name time will nas
Speaker 2: X excuse X, you need the X there? And then
Speaker 2: I'm like, is is this like a like a baby
Speaker 2: Got Back like ironic song?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 2: What is?
Speaker 1: What is going on with serious song? Him? Right, totally serious? Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Then I looked it up.
Speaker 2: Apparently there's a new genre called country rap okay, which
Speaker 2: is where they're putting this song. I mean, obviously, you
Speaker 2: don't celebrate the discography of Cowboy Troy, which fine, you
Speaker 2: do you? But some of us out here celebrate his works.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to become a little more culture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And so then I dug a little deeper and
Speaker 1: I found that they've done four official remixes of this
Speaker 1: song and it's been number one on the Billboard Hot
Speaker 1: one hundred charts for nineteen consecutive weeks. Do you think
Speaker 1: there is any chance the Stanford band is not playing
Speaker 1: that song?
Speaker 2: They're definitely doing it poorly, but they're doing it. Let's
Speaker 2: the tech band, right, that is the tech band.
Speaker 1: They're drag band. They're all dressed like Zorro, which is awesome.
Speaker 2: It's the double rag I double fingers single, no wheezer
Speaker 2: guns up.
Speaker 1: Gotcha? You think there's any chance that they're not playing
Speaker 1: this at some point?
Speaker 2: I see would love they're kind of traditional, but yeah,
Speaker 2: why not. I think they're definitely going to be bands
Speaker 2: plural playing it.
Speaker 1: So how do I get points for this? Does it
Speaker 1: have to be people tweeting us, letting us know, emailing us,
Speaker 1: taking pictures, videos, way to have you from the stadium
Speaker 1: while they're in the games. And just like videos a band.
Speaker 2: There's going to be tweets and you know people are
Speaker 2: going to be filming it and stuff. I just need
Speaker 2: to know if what counts as points for me, because
Speaker 2: I think this is a sleeper pick. Anytime a band
Speaker 2: plays anytimes doesn't count. Pet band during basketball. It's got
Speaker 2: to be during football season because that's pretty folks for it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so you think it's gonna happen a lot. I think
Speaker 2: this is gonna happen a ton.
Speaker 1: I don't think I fully.
Speaker 2: Remember that the Tech band dressed like this, and I
Speaker 2: am so happy that they do because it's so boring,
Speaker 2: like the Longhorn band is not that fun to the
Speaker 2: cowboy hats and frails.
Speaker 1: This rules. This is great. They've got this weird open
Speaker 1: vest thing.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 1: And they got a cape. They do have a cape.
Speaker 1: The cape is key. I'm all about it.
Speaker 2: I'm all about the Texas Tech look and hoefully playing
Speaker 2: little Nasax.
Speaker 1: If anybody has any.
Speaker 2: Connections, nas is not badly, nas is not. You're the
Speaker 2: most Caucasian person here.
Speaker 1: All right, Taylor, flip it up there, let's see what
Speaker 1: we got here. Okay, full teams, how do you feel? Okay?
Speaker 2: So I obviously, and this crowd loves Marty Smith.
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a big earner for me.
Speaker 2: Because he does nothing but commit to bits, always commits
Speaker 2: to the bit. You'll get old town marching bands, old
Speaker 2: town road marching bands, some what the gushing TV promoting.
Speaker 1: You're pretty dependent on Flutie. I mean he's gonna do
Speaker 1: it six times a year, right, do you think if
Speaker 1: he's listening to this. Do you think he will do
Speaker 1: he'll steer into Do you think there's any chance Doug
Speaker 1: Flutie knows how to download a podcast, because I'm going now, no, no,
Speaker 1: he's not downloading like overcat Right. The rogue coaching.
Speaker 2: Hair, I think Olgers is gonna get it together. I
Speaker 2: don't think a lot of people are going to be
Speaker 2: taking chances this year, but I think you're gonna get
Speaker 2: it in place.
Speaker 1: It See, we didn't say Holgerson, we said coaches. Correct.
Speaker 1: So someone's hair is gonna go rogue, and someone's gonna
Speaker 1: it could be Manny Diaz. He might grow it between
Speaker 1: the first and second half. Okay, someone's hair is gonna
Speaker 1: go rogue, and I'm gonna get points light ding probably
Speaker 1: early on late summer. I think that's gonna hit for
Speaker 1: you nicely.
Speaker 2: The Mac Brown Old Dog New Tricks is.
Speaker 1: Very specific, specifically Old Dog with New Tricks. Because here's
Speaker 1: the thing, Tom Bernaldi special.
Speaker 2: If Mac Brown has and this is I'm just making
Speaker 2: this up right now, Let's say he is mis evaluated.
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks for North Carolina.
Speaker 2: I know it's crazy, far fetch that Mac Brown would
Speaker 2: misevaluate a quarterback. Let's say that happens in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: and they're disappointing this year because they've not been great recently.
Speaker 2: One would say, yeah, a new trick would be finding
Speaker 2: a quarterback right for mac Brown. So I don't know
Speaker 2: if this is gonna pay dividends because they might not
Speaker 2: be so good this year.
Speaker 1: So that's definitely not gonna be good this year.
Speaker 2: Okay, well we're gonna take it for this year's season.
Speaker 1: I just think I just think this is definitely going
Speaker 1: to be a bit Okay, this is going to be
Speaker 1: something that's written about, something that you see on broadcasts.
Speaker 2: Urban Meyer rumors, Yes, unless us he is really good,
Speaker 2: unless USC starts winning games. For those listen to get home,
Speaker 2: we had a loud cackle in the room, totally warranted.
Speaker 2: It was a cackle like how how could you think
Speaker 2: us he could posibly? I mean so, but in USC,
Speaker 2: and they start out the season pretty top the Presno
Speaker 2: and standard, they have tough teams.
Speaker 1: We struggled with this one mightily because we had about
Speaker 1: eight different USC threads that we could have pulled on,
Speaker 1: not the least of which was obviously this one. But
Speaker 1: it was also kind of funny to just put up
Speaker 1: on screen Clay Helton's stay of execution. Yeah, that's that's dark.
Speaker 2: I mean it's a little dark, but it still plays
Speaker 2: fair and he still cannot be recognized in a Hudson
Speaker 2: News now, So that's that matters. That matters, And on
Speaker 2: your side, you've got a begger. I feel it it's
Speaker 2: gonna do really well because it goes across a lot
Speaker 2: of teams potentially, but.
Speaker 1: You're counting on again, something very specific and that a
Speaker 1: little shorter than average and prickage tendency to get you points.
Speaker 1: I love that band.
Speaker 2: Edgy yes, lyrically all over the place, but prinkish tendency.
Speaker 1: The broadcast disaster thing is something you pick because you
Speaker 1: like it, not because you care about points, right, And
Speaker 1: I'm fine with this strategy because when that happens, we
Speaker 1: will be inundated, inundated with all sorts of posts. All
Speaker 1: we need is a camera malfunction. All we need is
Speaker 1: the wire cam default. No, we don't need that, you
Speaker 1: don't want that.
Speaker 2: All we need is audio to go out. But you
Speaker 2: have to remember something. There are so many games across
Speaker 2: so many divisions, and do you think, like a random
Speaker 2: Jacksonville State game, if somebody happens to be watching that
Speaker 2: listens to the show and something goes wrong.
Speaker 1: Now they're gonna let us know.
Speaker 2: There are so many broad Does it count if the
Speaker 2: first and ten line goes out? Absolutely, that's a graphical catastrophe. Okay,
Speaker 2: because it my graphical catastrophe open for brickish tendency in.
Speaker 1: My book, the first and ten line is like right
Speaker 1: up there with the cotton gin, Like it's a very
Speaker 1: important invention that we have in college football viewing experience. Yea,
Speaker 1: and if you lose that cotton gin joke, it well
Speaker 1: shout out yeah, if that goes down, it sort of
Speaker 1: ruins the whole experience.
Speaker 2: That's true, doesn't count if there's a hot mic and
Speaker 2: somebody doesn't realize it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's major points.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah. I just think there's so many ways for
Speaker 2: a broadcast to really go to a bad place. Graphical airs,
Speaker 2: the on field errors, camera errors, audio errors.
Speaker 1: Did you already mention like when the player graphic is
Speaker 1: wrong and they just have first name, last name absolute
Speaker 1: put up by this day counts a right?
Speaker 2: I just think that's there's a variety there, the.
Speaker 1: Number of things you could go wrong there. And know
Speaker 1: that you mentioned it. What else you've got, ellis you
Speaker 1: sleep on?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna be unless Yeah, they're gonna show that off.
Speaker 2: It might only be early season, it might only be
Speaker 2: you think, so okay, yeah, like showing those shots like
Speaker 2: as bumpers with commercials November, It's like.
Speaker 1: Do they have to reference the sleep pods? Can they
Speaker 1: just show the sleep pods?
Speaker 2: I think they just have to show Okay, I'll accept it.
Speaker 1: I think if they show them, we'll count it, okay,
Speaker 1: because it's the first thing they're gonna show. If they
Speaker 1: show the locker room and they got.
Speaker 2: Sleep pods, no one else's sleep pots, Okay. Next Marty
Speaker 2: Smith can be to a bit. Okay, So that's a
Speaker 2: loose definition, do you think. I mean, he's gonna be
Speaker 2: on game Day probably most weeks, He's going on Sports Center,
Speaker 2: SEC Network, whatever he is. There's a picture by the way,
Speaker 2: the SEC Network got a new studio and it's a
Speaker 2: bunch of the hosts in dress gear. You know it's
Speaker 2: it's they're wearing suits, they're wearing dresses and Marty Smith
Speaker 2: is wearing T shirt ands and Jordan's because he commits
Speaker 2: to being Marty Smith.
Speaker 1: I love it, so do you think that's gonna hit.
Speaker 1: It's gonna hit every week. Okay, that's pretty good. Next
Speaker 1: mid tier endorsement. I don't think it's great.
Speaker 2: It makes me laugh, but I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 2: hit every week because we do we have to have
Speaker 2: a new endorsement every week or.
Speaker 1: Do we just have to have a commercial? I think
Speaker 1: we just need to have a commercial. Okay, then that's
Speaker 1: gonna you need you, yeah, you need like Adam a
Speaker 1: Mean to start doing like I.
Speaker 2: Didn't realize that coverage was this popular.
Speaker 1: Apparently that average good though some people are bullying.
Speaker 2: Someone said, yes, okay, that's probably fine.
Speaker 1: Okay, is that the worst sausage? I guess right?
Speaker 2: And the small school offer, small school offer.
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be somewhat. We're gonna have to
Speaker 1: watch a lot and pay.
Speaker 2: Attention to a lot of these games, a lot of games. Right.
Speaker 1: Well, it could be in written form too.
Speaker 2: That his only offer was until he got blah blah blah,
Speaker 2: was that he was gonna be a Delaware mud Hen.
Speaker 2: That the mud Hens, right, or the Muddheads.
Speaker 1: It's a great name.
Speaker 2: Not as good as Bearcats, but the k but the
Speaker 2: mud Hens are pretty good.
Speaker 1: Blue head Blue Heads say you're the Muddy Tolato is
Speaker 1: the mudd Hens.
Speaker 2: It's a minor league baseball team. I've had eighty one
Speaker 2: percent of a beer.
Speaker 1: So that being said, yeah, by I guess applause here
Speaker 1: a sitable poll. Yeah, if you like my team, obviously,
Speaker 1: let's hear it is a whole light. I had to
Speaker 1: cue them, which is never a good song. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: not a good sign. Yeah, dance team, I mean, what
Speaker 1: is pretty Taylor.
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: I think that's right.
Speaker 2: Okay, so now what no, Yeah, I know. So these
Speaker 2: are our teams, and we are gonna hit stop on
Speaker 2: the record button because this is going to go out.
Speaker 2: This brilliant show is going to go out into the worlds.
Speaker 2: We're gonna hit the top button and now we just
Speaker 2: answer questions, right, is that.
Speaker 1: What we will? Then we will answer questions. But so
Speaker 1: here is the way the rest of this is going
Speaker 1: to work. As we said, we did the second half
Speaker 1: of this, if you want to call it that, the
Speaker 1: second half of this.
Speaker 2: On the car ride up from Austin this morning, it's
Speaker 2: in Tao. It's entirely separate.
Speaker 1: Show that we're doing tomorrow in DC. We wake up
Speaker 1: at God knows whatever to fly over there, and eventually
Speaker 1: we will piece these together and they will be one
Speaker 1: just terrible show that it'll be great on some sorry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that everyone could download and listen to the full slate,
Speaker 1: but each of us will have twelve picks, and at
Speaker 1: that point then I guess we'll try and do our
Speaker 1: best to score this thing, but somebody else will did
Speaker 1: the score it for us? We have people people will
Speaker 1: score it. Yeah, yeah, okay. How do you feel about
Speaker 1: your team?
Speaker 2: You like?
Speaker 1: I feel great?
Speaker 2: I feel really really good because when you when you
Speaker 2: align yourself with Marty Smith, when you align your mouth
Speaker 2: with Baker Mayfield, when you align yourself with I guess
Speaker 2: mixed reviews of sausage, acroage sausage. Yes, Achrod sausage. They
Speaker 2: should be sending us some sausage for all that we
Speaker 2: have done on this show. I feel pretty great. I
Speaker 2: feel like I'm gonna take you down again for the
Speaker 2: third straight year. The first year, yes, it would be
Speaker 2: the third Street bullied.
Speaker 1: You bullied me? Yeah, yeah, that was not fun. Well,
Speaker 1: but we will see. So at this point, I would
Speaker 1: like to thank our audience, yes for being such a
Speaker 1: good sport and hanging with us through our madness here.
Speaker 1: So that was Texas, which was an amazing experience. We
Speaker 1: cannot wait to go back there. Thank you to everyone
Speaker 1: who came out to see us in person. It was
Speaker 1: a ton of fun. Now, before we get to DC,
Speaker 1: some quick housekeeping. As you know we've been saying it,
Speaker 1: we're excited that we've joined up with the wonderre podcast network,

Speaker 1: All that said, here's what took place live on Night
Speaker 1: two of The Fantasy Things Draft from Union Stage in
Speaker 1: beautiful Washington, DC. Haven't Hi Woo.
Speaker 2: So we can't see how many people are out there
Speaker 2: because the lights are very bright. But it sounds like
Speaker 2: we've got quite the audience here tonight, Daniel. It's like
Speaker 2: live aid where it just.
Speaker 1: Keeps going back. You can't really see. I can't get it.
Speaker 1: There we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys are endless and wonderful.
Speaker 1: Kay.
Speaker 2: Can I start by saying something real quick?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 2: We feel way too far.
Speaker 1: Apart right now. I know this is the farthest we've
Speaker 1: been apart, like four days maybe.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So if we were to be any closer
Speaker 2: to the middle, you would see the cone of this
Speaker 2: jewfrow on the screen. And nobody needs that. Nobody needs that.
Speaker 2: First of all, thank you for comings This is incredible.
Speaker 2: The energy in here is it feels real good, real good.
Speaker 1: It feels good.
Speaker 2: And I want to tell you yesterday we were in Dallas.
Speaker 2: We did the show in Texas, and before we got started,
Speaker 2: I went to the little boys room and there were
Speaker 2: a couple of freak going clearly pretty clearly listeners in there. Okay, okay,
Speaker 2: they were they were in college polos or whatever. That's
Speaker 2: what people in Texas do. I guess they were college polos.
Speaker 2: Checks out and A guy looks at me while we're
Speaker 2: in there, like makes eye contact with me, says nothing,
Speaker 2: and then we walk out sort of at the same time,
Speaker 2: and he says, I didn't talk to you in the bathroom.
Speaker 2: Bathroom medicits.
Speaker 1: I learned that.
Speaker 2: Like you just made it way weirder than it had
Speaker 2: to be because I felt the contact there. So it's
Speaker 2: very good people not greeting me as we both We've
Speaker 2: had a separate bathroom today, which was helpful in that respect,
Speaker 2: So thank you for coming out.
Speaker 1: We call this show our Fantasy Things Draft. What is
Speaker 1: a Fantasy Things draft?
Speaker 2: Well, some of you may be familiar with a thing
Speaker 2: called fantasy football, and fantasy football. You pick, you pick
Speaker 2: the players, right, yeah, you pick an imaginary children.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you try to set the groundwork.
Speaker 2: Usually I like to ask how many people are here
Speaker 2: against their will? But we can't really see.
Speaker 1: So i's gonna have to like a show of hands.
Speaker 1: I won't be able to tell I see zero hands.
Speaker 1: Somebody is here against their will, and so we have
Speaker 1: to there we go, thank you, thank you. Somebody is
Speaker 1: here against their will, at least one person, and we
Speaker 1: like to try and set the groundwork. So in fantasy football,
Speaker 1: you pick an imaginary team.
Speaker 2: Of football players. Instead of picking a team of football players,
Speaker 2: we like to pick a team of football storylines.
Speaker 1: Correct. And this year, because we were feeling a little saucy,
Speaker 1: we decided instead of doing just one show, maybe we'll
Speaker 1: do two. Yes, maybe we'll do it in the same
Speaker 1: weekend in different cities. So last year we are We
Speaker 1: did a show last night in Dallas, which is awesome,
Speaker 1: and now here we are in DC on about four
Speaker 1: hours sleep, but nonetheless an entirely different show. It is
Speaker 1: not the same show we did last night, as we're
Speaker 1: going to talk about here in a few minutes, We're
Speaker 1: going to go through I think what our picks were
Speaker 1: last night, and then pick some new ones for tonight,
Speaker 1: and then you guys are getting a prem hum. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's going to be it's gonna be a premium show.
Speaker 1: So this is what it looks like right now. If
Speaker 1: you look at our rosters, and again, this is reveal
Speaker 1: day two, it is not at all Round two. We
Speaker 1: looked over the picks on the plane over here, and
Speaker 1: in addition to the fact that we got to go
Speaker 1: back through these the second time, we're pretty excited about
Speaker 1: what we have here, so I guess we can just
Speaker 1: get into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get well. Can we go back to the
Speaker 2: rosters real quick? By a show of applause?
Speaker 1: Are you a person or you?
Speaker 2: Does t I have the better roster to you?
Speaker 1: There was a hesitation there. I don't have the hesitation.
Speaker 1: It's the Notre Dame fans. It's coming slowly, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: so that's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2: We're still friends and for my roster, not even I
Speaker 2: think that's about like it was last night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I aded to you a little bit. Okay, okay, okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I'm already know. Yeah. Is everybody ready for day
Speaker 1: two of the Fantasy thing stretch? This is dark Jealing team.
Speaker 1: Here is the way this works. I have a very
Speaker 1: cool sound that I stole from ESPN. Don't tell them
Speaker 1: it goes like this one more time, Taylor for the
Speaker 1: Notre Dame fans. Can we hear louder? He's shrugging in
Speaker 1: the back.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Dan, can you give us a dramatic it's
Speaker 2: a it's something like esp draft time tailor work on.
Speaker 1: When you get it, just play it. Yeah, that'd be good.
Speaker 1: He's putting his hand up. All right, we'll get it.
Speaker 1: So with the first now we're getting closer. We're getting closer.
Speaker 1: We're getting closer. We'll get it eventually. Don't worry.
Speaker 2: Broadcast error, brother, do you have a recorder that you
Speaker 2: can play it on?
Speaker 1: Okay? All right?
Speaker 2: With my first pick of the day of the DC
Speaker 2: of the Fantasy Thing Show, I would probably like to
Speaker 2: select Trevor Lawrence's draft stock.
Speaker 1: Mm hmmmm hm. Trevor Lawrence's draft stock.
Speaker 2: So it's explain what the stock means in this draft.
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence quarterback for Clemson. Trevor Lawrence, clearly I think
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the country.
Speaker 1: Maybe up for debate, maybe not. He was only a
Speaker 1: true freshman last year, had a very good campaign, scalded
Speaker 1: this ship out of Notre Dame in that playoff game,
Speaker 1: and now here we are entering year two is true
Speaker 1: sophomore campaign. And inevitably they are going to be NFL
Speaker 1: draft types who you will hear are just quote unquote
Speaker 1: drooling over Trevor Lawrence's draft stock and what he brings
Speaker 1: to the equation, what he could bring. And it begs
Speaker 1: the question, what kind of NFL hot takes are we
Speaker 1: going to get this season, will it inevitably lead to
Speaker 1: a place where we're wondering do we want to go
Speaker 1: full sam Hinkey with this?
Speaker 2: Do we just want to trust the process, double tank
Speaker 2: and just tank two years in a row to get
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: The fun thing about this to me is when you
Speaker 2: mentioned like the NFL types drooling over Trevor Lawrence, I
Speaker 2: immediately pictured Charlie Casserly and that's horrifying Thereio.
Speaker 1: That's not Charlie Castler, that's mal Kuiper.
Speaker 2: But there's something about the NFL types and I think
Speaker 2: it makes it weird that Trevor Lawrence has the hair
Speaker 2: that he has, that he has the long, blonde, flowing hair,
Speaker 2: and there's like the dream weaver playing in the backs
Speaker 2: of these NFL gms.
Speaker 1: See I had on our list originally, and we can
Speaker 1: read that we have a huge list right that we
Speaker 1: can go through later. What we were originally going to
Speaker 1: go with some of the ones that we weeded out,
Speaker 1: but originally I wanted to go with I want to
Speaker 1: call it Trevor Trevor Lawrence's Locks of Love. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: I kid you not. Like a week ago, David Hale
Speaker 1: from ESPN wrote an article literally titled of locks and
Speaker 1: lore Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's also the reporter who who asked about the
Speaker 2: question about clemsoning and we're like, oh, well, we're personas
Speaker 2: non grass there, Thanks David.
Speaker 1: So the question remains, would you tank two years to
Speaker 1: get Trevor Lawrence? No?
Speaker 2: I would not, but I don't care. I'm not an
Speaker 2: NFL person. But the thing is, I think this is
Speaker 2: going to do pretty well because if he's good for
Speaker 2: the next couple of years, you're getting I mean, not
Speaker 2: two years worth, but all season.
Speaker 1: It's the ACC. Who are they going to play? So
Speaker 1: this is true? Oh whoa see, we didn't get.
Speaker 2: That in Texas when I'm when we were talking about
Speaker 2: the ACC and you know, it's the ACC ACC It's acceptable.
Speaker 2: That's what the tag line as. Yeah, it's that's what
Speaker 2: it is. That's what the Tech's football.
Speaker 1: We do it. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It goes up with a register. Okayas is drafttock.
Speaker 1: I feel very good about Trevor Laarnces. Oh, cash, Doc,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. Can we go into my first pick?
Speaker 1: Let's go the next one?
Speaker 2: Yes, give it up before we go on, give it
Speaker 2: up for our hometown boy Taylor, who's all right?
Speaker 1: Who we got for pick two?
Speaker 2: Yeah, we should also mention we're doing a Q and
Speaker 2: A after the dr the draft gear. Okay, So this
Speaker 2: one to me was a no brainer. And the fact
Speaker 2: that t I didn't take this number one overall speaks
Speaker 2: to his issues. I have Manny Diaz bringing that swag
Speaker 2: back to Miami.
Speaker 1: We did some research.
Speaker 2: Apparently Manny Diaz has not been the first person tasked
Speaker 2: with finding that renewable source of swag.
Speaker 1: We did, we scanned.
Speaker 2: Apparently Randy Shannon was bringing the swag back to Miami,
Speaker 2: Al Golden, Mark Ricks, Apparently John Gruden at one point
Speaker 2: was rumored he like his scowl, right, his scowl should
Speaker 2: be bringing the swag back. And that's why we would
Speaker 2: someday like to author the book. Oh there's there's Mark Ricks.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 2: Well, short lived, and then we wanted to write a
Speaker 2: book about the search for the lost swag the Hardy Boys.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's come, it's coming. There here it
Speaker 1: is slow revealed the missing Swag. I'd read it. I'd
Speaker 1: read it.
Speaker 2: I don't know what swag is, obviously, look at me,
Speaker 2: but I've watched Miami football and I'm not sure they
Speaker 2: do either, So they need to throw a forward pass swag.
Speaker 1: That's all it take. Because Miami and Fins. Yeah they
Speaker 1: have fans. Yes, outside of Florida.
Speaker 2: No, probably, Yeah, a few.
Speaker 1: He's out there, Yes, here he is. We found him.
Speaker 1: It's the rock.
Speaker 2: He's here and he's in the fourteenth throw. Yes, Miami
Speaker 2: has fans. Many Diaz may bring it and I don't
Speaker 2: know if we can go back to the beard shot.
Speaker 1: Of many Dias. I don't think he has it anymore.
Speaker 2: He kind of looks like the guy from Silicon Valley,
Speaker 2: which worries me. That's probably what I'm talking about. The
Speaker 2: and you love his hair, I do. Is that a
Speaker 2: pro or a con for his swag possibilities?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it could only add to it, right,
Speaker 1: does it? Well? What I like about the hair? And
Speaker 1: you know I've got this thing for like coaching hair.
Speaker 2: Excuse me former Temple coach Benidia.
Speaker 1: Sorry, but he uses an awful lot of product on it.
Speaker 2: Yes, And when you doubse that that main like a
Speaker 2: mufassa Maine like that with product you see holes in it.
Speaker 1: You don't see any holes in that. That's like a
Speaker 1: lego man hair, right, there's a lego man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and all the way, by the way that beard
Speaker 2: he shaved in the morning, did he grew that by
Speaker 2: like one pm? It's a noon shadows. So I went
Speaker 2: with the swag instead of Manny Diaz's father.
Speaker 1: Was the mayor of Miami. Yeah, for like eight years, just.
Speaker 2: Because there's a possibility that we'll hear I don't know,
Speaker 2: acc Network play by play host Chris Cotter say the
Speaker 2: word swag four times this year, and I thought you.
Speaker 1: Missed an opportunity. The swigger one's good.
Speaker 2: I thought you missed an opportunity not talking in a
Speaker 2: little bit more depth about how he's just from the area,
Speaker 2: like his dad was mayor, he's from there.
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of bad blood because he went
Speaker 1: to Florida State, right, But nonetheless he's he's a hometown boy.
Speaker 1: He knows. We'll talk about hometown boys a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. But you know, I thought that was a
Speaker 1: better opportunity. But swag is at least funny for.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's closer to catching Virginia Florida State, Miami, Florida
Speaker 2: State Miami.
Speaker 1: It's that kind of thing where there's that that's back
Speaker 1: and forth, like.
Speaker 2: Elite college football a SEC program, Virginia.
Speaker 1: ACC. We played football. You have the next pick? Oh
Speaker 1: I do have the next pig? Oh yeah, we're doing
Speaker 1: the snake trap style right. Yeah, Oh this is great.
Speaker 2: I have transfer portal coaching pissiness. It's a whole umbrella term.
Speaker 1: It's like a whole genus under which there are multiple species. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's ylums, there's species. I can't go much farther than that. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So basically, it's been an off season that I think
Speaker 2: is going to carry into the season at least the
Speaker 2: first month of the season. But they give press conferences
Speaker 2: every day where we have coaches saying things like, well,
Speaker 2: I think it's quitting. I think it's you know, these
Speaker 2: guys don't know the value of toughing it out. And
Speaker 2: then you get these conversations of like why do kids
Speaker 2: go to concerts and film it with their phones? Thanks
Speaker 2: Pat s FitzGeralds for your your look into the brains.
Speaker 2: The good thing I like about this is it gives
Speaker 2: us moments. It gives us storylines of coaches coming out
Speaker 2: and saying they're they're really taking a hardline stance about this,
Speaker 2: but behind closed doors, they're basically four year olds negotiating
Speaker 2: vegetables for desserts with backup five star quarterbacks who they
Speaker 2: desperately don't want to leave. So like the three pieces
Speaker 2: of broccoli for a couple of package plays justin Fields,
Speaker 2: please and we're gonna get a lot of the transfer
Speaker 2: portal sub Well's what's interesting about the transfer Portal is
Speaker 2: I still don't feel like anyone really knows what it is.
Speaker 2: We have a sound, we have thank you, we have
Speaker 2: a sound that we play for it. The transfer portal
Speaker 2: is not one.
Speaker 1: Of the flower Pots and Super Mario Brothers. In case
Speaker 1: you're wonder now what this thing is. As per my
Speaker 1: knowledge and our knowledge, you can get to this site
Speaker 1: going to zip recruiter dot com slash transfer Portal. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I think once you get there you can somehow.
Speaker 2: I don't know who makes the accounts, but my guess
Speaker 2: is that on the back end of it, it's sort
Speaker 2: of like a match dot com situation, or maybe there's
Speaker 2: a filter and like maybe you can send messages if
Speaker 2: you're a school.
Speaker 1: If you get a message from James Franklin, he's trying
Speaker 1: to fish you that do not click on that link
Speaker 1: from James Franklin. Can you customize profiles like we just
Speaker 1: there's so much about the transfer portal, right that we
Speaker 1: don't know, and maybe the coaches don't either. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: why they're kind of pissy about it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they've all been fished all of
Speaker 2: these Yeah, they're on Facebook recruiting. It's it's a tough day.
Speaker 2: I like this. I mean, it's gonna get me points.
Speaker 2: We think about the older coaches coming back to college football,
Speaker 2: Mac Brown, Les Miles, Bill Snyder is probably.
Speaker 1: Going to be catfished. I don't know how, but there
Speaker 1: is going to be complaining and there is going to.
Speaker 2: Be back in my daying all over the place. This
Speaker 2: is going to do very well for me. I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the next chair.
Speaker 1: For my selection. I'm going with tiny field demonstration. Yes,
Speaker 1: they really like that one. They did get better than
Speaker 1: I thought. Yeah, So all right, do we want to
Speaker 1: demonstrate on a tiny stage? Picture me as Dave jan
Speaker 1: Stat and it's him, Tea. I know you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: America's worst gym teacher. He's trying to bring in Brady Quinn. Like,
Speaker 2: Brady Quinn, you're the offensive tackle. I'm going to show
Speaker 2: you how four to three underworks and there's two feet
Speaker 2: here and two feet there.
Speaker 1: It's all like, I don't know when they started actually
Speaker 1: making these fields, Like somebody had the bright idea, Like
Speaker 1: we've got a bunch of ex athletes and coaches up here.
Speaker 2: We're eager to explain the way that football works, right,
Speaker 2: which is what they are presumably paid to do. The
Speaker 2: problem with that is you cannot explain the spread offense
Speaker 2: on a field about as wide as this. The whole
Speaker 2: purpose of the spread offense is that the field is
Speaker 2: like eight times wider than this. Yes, so how are
Speaker 2: you going to explain it on something that well Dave
Speaker 2: wants that is thirty one percent of the width of
Speaker 2: this field?
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 2: So you've you've got a bunch of coaches, former players
Speaker 2: who've put on some girth, and they all look like
Speaker 2: very bad Algebra two substitutes, and they're showing you how to.
Speaker 1: Rip and dip and it's the best. Yeah. I mean
Speaker 1: we're talking where we are talking about fields measured in
Speaker 1: feet not yards, and it's just very difficult to explain
Speaker 1: complicated subjects. I have never ever in a million year,
Speaker 1: has gotten any kind of like new information out of that, right,
Speaker 1: My only takeaway has always been like, yeah, these guys
Speaker 1: just still want to play. Yeah, they don't care if I.
Speaker 2: Understand, And we're never really gonna get the RPO scheme
Speaker 2: on this, like twelve foot field. They just want to
Speaker 2: get out there and just you know, roll up the
Speaker 2: sleeves and have at it. There is a good possibility
Speaker 2: that we're gonna get a I don't know what to
Speaker 2: do with my hands moment from Urban Meyer home.
Speaker 1: Well you uh, well, you know it's funny because in
Speaker 1: the in the promo for his new show, Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: standing next to Brady, who I think is playing center.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's yeah, there's coming back there. They've got
Speaker 2: their shirt, their jackets off, and they're all just trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what's going on. What this poor director
Speaker 2: is tasked with doing. I Miss Dave wantstad tiny field demos.
Speaker 1: I think that's good.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to watch the Fox pregame show to
Speaker 2: get it, and so maybe you'll get points.
Speaker 1: Who's to say they build like a portable version at
Speaker 1: game Day? Oh that's true.
Speaker 2: And you get to see Marty Smith's shoes, that's right. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's how we know about his shoes.
Speaker 1: All right, next pick, let's do a little hometown bit here. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the new coach of Maryland football, Mike Loxley.
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you know?
Speaker 1: So what I like about this I like about eight
Speaker 1: things about this pick. But what I like most about
Speaker 1: this is the fact that when Mike Loxley took over,
Speaker 1: he was very pointed in saying, this is my dream
Speaker 1: job job. And this is after Randy Hetzel took over
Speaker 1: and said this is my dream joh, So, I like
Speaker 1: Maryland football. I want Maryland football to be better. We
Speaker 1: talked to our friend Taylor, who is back there. Please
Speaker 1: another round of pause, come on. He was a very
Speaker 1: proud Maryland fan and yeah, yeah, And what dawn of
Speaker 1: me is that all the reasons that Taylor, as a
Speaker 1: Maryland guy, likes Mike Loxley have nothing to do with football,
Speaker 1: and that strikes me as a bit of a problem. Yeah. So,
Speaker 1: the reason that I think people are excited about Mike Loxley,
Speaker 1: it's not because he punched a guy in New Mexico.
Speaker 1: We can get into that later. He did do that,
Speaker 1: not that, just the facts, but Mike Loxley's a hometown
Speaker 1: guy and presumably he knows the DMV better than anybody else, right.
Speaker 2: And that is kind of his brand now. He knows
Speaker 2: how to navigate like the dangerous terrain of the DMV.
Speaker 1: He can be your shirpo. Yeah Maryland football Mike Loxley. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, there's no coach in America that is credited with
Speaker 2: knowing an area like Mike Loxley knows the DMV or
Speaker 2: is it just DMV. I don't know if there's a
Speaker 2: the It's like the interstate thing in California. I don't
Speaker 2: know which way we go. Is there a the DMV? Okay,
Speaker 2: who's to say and like it? It is astounding that
Speaker 2: he has built up this reputation as a okay coach,
Speaker 2: but he knows the DMV. He brought a relious bend
Speaker 2: to Illinois. Shout out all the ali and I back there.
Speaker 1: No, no, all right, all right, first show ever, I
Speaker 1: took a swing. I took a swing.
Speaker 2: Usually packed to the gills with a lion I football fans,
Speaker 2: but it almost makes me feel like he's a YELP
Speaker 2: power user in the area. There's just I don't understand
Speaker 2: why he is the one who gets all the credit.
Speaker 2: Is are there Yelp power users.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: He's the one who, like is the terrible uber driver
Speaker 2: who says, no, I don't listen to Ways, I know
Speaker 2: the area and then gets contracted Mike Locksley drives into
Speaker 2: a construction zone.
Speaker 1: So the lesson of this is Ways knows the DMV best.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I do like the fact that he
Speaker 1: wanted the job more than anyone else. And the other
Speaker 1: thing that Taylor pointed out is he might have been
Speaker 1: the only one, yeah, who wanted it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if that's true or not. I've just you know, facts only,
Speaker 1: But I'm going to root for him. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want Marylynd's better.
Speaker 2: So the problem or the good thing is, no matter
Speaker 2: what happens with Marylyn this season, that's the talking point exactly.
Speaker 2: That's twelve and if they make a bowl, it's still
Speaker 2: gonna be twelve times that you're gonna get points.
Speaker 1: Because I don't think they're gonna make.
Speaker 2: A ball, all right, our last pick of the first half,
Speaker 2: the first half of day two. So this is the
Speaker 2: off season looping, right, This is they looped a terrible
Speaker 2: loss in the weight.
Speaker 1: Room all season long to really sell it home. How
Speaker 1: bad they were.
Speaker 2: I don't know this is I think we're on Gary
Speaker 2: on the screen, so I don't know if that will
Speaker 2: Probably what Penn State, Yeah, it could be Wisconsin. And
Speaker 2: there's just something about off season motivation. It's probably only
Speaker 2: gonna pay dividends.
Speaker 1: Early on in the season for me. But like he
Speaker 1: added thirty pounds of muscle in the off season, you can't.
Speaker 1: We looked it up. We did some research.
Speaker 2: As jacked humans like Ty and I are, you can't
Speaker 2: add that much muscle.
Speaker 1: If you come if you come back and report to
Speaker 1: fall camp looking like David Boston, that's a problem. That's it.
Speaker 1: It's a little fishy that maybe there's something more going
Speaker 1: on there. Correct.
Speaker 2: And so the off season motivation thing, I was trying
Speaker 2: to figure out what it would be to like really
Speaker 2: motivate me. That would be looped in my room NonStop,
Speaker 2: and it would be those texting bubbles that come up
Speaker 2: when I was dating. You see that that bubble come up,
Speaker 2: be like, oh here it comes a great message, and
Speaker 2: then it disappears. That's the motivation that haunts me to
Speaker 2: this day. I have a son, I am happily married,
Speaker 2: and those.
Speaker 1: Bubbles really do me.
Speaker 2: They really do so I think is going to come
Speaker 2: up early on in the season. Probably not with Michigan
Speaker 2: too much after the way they ended their season last year,
Speaker 2: but it's gonna come up. I like this pick an
Speaker 2: awful lot because it's something you hear. We did a
Speaker 2: pick last year where we talked about a strength coach
Speaker 2: having a screw loose.
Speaker 1: You might remember that.
Speaker 2: That might be required for this pick, right, or at
Speaker 2: least a coach with a screw loose. Yes, to just
Speaker 2: decide that this is a good way to motivate players. Now,
Speaker 2: are you an easily motivated person at the gym?
Speaker 1: I don't think at the gym, believe.
Speaker 2: I don't think that this would do it for me personally, right,
Speaker 2: but maybe it works for somebody. We're going to see it.
Speaker 2: We're going to see it around and it's going to
Speaker 2: be weird. And I want to see the clips. That's
Speaker 2: they never really show the clips. I want to see
Speaker 2: the clips looping and looping and looping, and.
Speaker 1: They never showed the clips. It's always just a talking point.
Speaker 1: Now they don't.
Speaker 2: So why don't we just show the first three picks
Speaker 2: for each of us a review?
Speaker 1: Okay?
Speaker 2: And why don't we bring up an expert because we
Speaker 2: don't know what we're doing obviously, Why don't we bring
Speaker 2: up our friend who writes, who is part of the
Speaker 2: grander college football you know verse? She writes for vox
Speaker 2: dot Com. She used to be at every day. She
Speaker 2: should be Saturday Ladies and gentlemen, Jane Coastin.
Speaker 1: Get her a mic. Did we figure out how we're
Speaker 1: Are we all standing? Are we all sitting? What are
Speaker 1: we doing?
Speaker 2: Do we have a mini field that maybe we can
Speaker 2: run some places? I think you're good talk show?
Speaker 1: Yeah there it is?
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, you can hear me.
Speaker 1: Okay, what's up, Jane? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Ty?
Speaker 4: This is a this is DC, which means we have
Speaker 4: to bring in politics. As anyone told you that you
Speaker 4: look kind of like peek booty.
Speaker 2: Everybody probably not like any time stick around. Ty's got
Speaker 2: some plans. I'm announcing my presidential run after the show.
Speaker 1: Yeaheah, it's uncanny.
Speaker 2: Jane also volunteers to compare college football things to political things.
Speaker 2: It helped, which seems haunting. And I don't know it's
Speaker 2: who it's more insulting too. Honestly, this is what you choose.
Speaker 3: It's great because sometimes I'm like no, no, no, you
Speaker 3: have to remember that college football is a game and
Speaker 3: politics should not be a game. Like remember that one
Speaker 3: time when like politics was like serious and college football
Speaker 3: was fun and then everything became not dead.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, so it's great to have you on this big
Speaker 2: college football stage. I don't know how often that'll happen
Speaker 2: for Michigan.
Speaker 1: For your.
Speaker 2: Soul, make this happen for you, don't don't make it
Speaker 2: married this family.
Speaker 4: We can just talk about Michael Dyer all day. He can't,
Speaker 4: Yes we can.
Speaker 2: He was down, See all right, round of applause?
Speaker 1: Was he down? And it's the whole the whole place,
Speaker 1: the whole place agrees. Why don't we Why don't we
Speaker 1: take a look at this?
Speaker 2: And as you can be our our melkiper our Todd McShay,
Speaker 2: how would you analyze the the value that we have
Speaker 2: early on?
Speaker 3: Well, I think that let's be real here, I think
Speaker 3: that the use of the term swag is going to
Speaker 3: get Dan a lot of points. I agree, because no
Speaker 3: one knows what it is, which is why you're going
Speaker 3: to hear like Lee Corso talking about like this person
Speaker 3: has a lot of swag.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's not that I mean basically, yeah, pretty much.
Speaker 3: They bring Lee corso, drive them off, but transfer portal
Speaker 3: because then you get to complain about the youths. Yes
Speaker 3: that no one can explain you you sorry, just wondering,
Speaker 3: and then again off seat. This is a motivation, which
Speaker 3: means they'll just keep bringing up things I don't want
Speaker 3: to think about right that I don't acknowledge having happened,
Speaker 3: and that will be personally painful to me.
Speaker 4: So I think Dan's roster looks pretty.
Speaker 2: Good, right, would you like to say anything about mine? Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean friends to Jane.
Speaker 3: I do think the tiny Field demo is going to
Speaker 3: be great, especially because it's like the best thing about
Speaker 3: Fox's lineup is that it's clearly people who think that
Speaker 3: they should still be playing football in some part. So
Speaker 3: Reggie Bush is like no, no, no, like snap it
Speaker 3: to me. Uh huh, we'll do this right here and now,
Speaker 3: and everybody's like.
Speaker 1: No, Reggie, no, no, it's over. Yeah, it's over.
Speaker 4: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the actual last segment on the show. It's over, Reggie,
Speaker 2: it's over.
Speaker 4: It's time, it's time, just send send it home.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's over. So that's gonna get him points. What
Speaker 1: else do you have?
Speaker 2: Uh no, Ty, this looks good.
Speaker 1: Uh Ty.
Speaker 3: I think the Mike Locksley thing is going to be great,
Speaker 3: especially for the extremely DMV related. The regrettable thing is
Speaker 3: that Maryland football has fan so.
Speaker 1: Sam, he's right there.
Speaker 3: Hey, No, it's always fun when you play Maryland and
Speaker 3: something that isn't basketball, because then you just bring yourself
Speaker 3: to Maryland and you're everyone.
Speaker 1: Needs to be there.
Speaker 2: It's great. Oh man, like you, it's like a Michigan game.
Speaker 4: I can get you on the metro.
Speaker 2: It's fine for everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll have to remember that one. Write that one down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Poor Maryland's people are going to be referring to
Speaker 2: them as an acc up and comer in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1: Poor Turts.
Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, I got I think I'm stronger here.
Speaker 2: I do like the sweat segretary of swagger culture. I
Speaker 2: can't even say that.
Speaker 1: No, I like this. I feel good about what I
Speaker 1: have coming up though, Okay, yeah, I do feel good
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: You're a finisher, okay, yeah, right now you have me ahead.
Speaker 3: Yes, early ahead, you had early, but you know there's
Speaker 3: still time for you to get scored on a bunch
Speaker 3: because you don't have any defensive line speak of.
Speaker 1: It's so.
Speaker 2: Now tough but fair, Yeah, tough but fair.
Speaker 4: Yeah you hired Brady Hook.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that was we agreed to never ever.
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, you started this, I know I did.
Speaker 2: You did. Ladies and gentlemen, Jane co Sam read her,
Speaker 2: follow her treasure her.
Speaker 1: I need a towel. So who is up to pick?
Speaker 2: So I guess I think you're up again. I have
Speaker 2: the off season loping, so the pick is in Taylor.
Speaker 2: So I have selected an unusual major. If you can't
Speaker 2: fully see the screen, it says the Yukon Puppet Arts Complex.
Speaker 1: And this doesn't happen often. Sometimes during a Stanford game,
Speaker 1: it does happen.
Speaker 2: It does happen during a Stanford game in but he's
Speaker 2: usually sociology, English, Business, something like that, Business administration, general studies,
Speaker 2: general studies.
Speaker 1: Sure, sometimes you'll see.
Speaker 2: Let's assume Dan Orlovsky at Yukon a puppet arts major.
Speaker 2: Stanford had Andrew Luck as an architecture major, and people
Speaker 2: freaked out that it deviated this much from a normal major.
Speaker 2: That the thing that hurts me, though, I will say
Speaker 2: that Tom Hammond is not calling games anymore.
Speaker 1: Baby, for Notre Dame in NBC.
Speaker 2: Tom ever met a slightly different major that he didn't
Speaker 2: want to talk act.
Speaker 1: For fifteen minutes. Yes, that was his calling card.
Speaker 2: It was. It was sad to see him go, and
Speaker 2: I'm sure wonderful for you, but it was sad for
Speaker 2: me to see him go because he was ridiculous. Some
Speaker 2: other interesting majors that we discovered in our laborious whatever
Speaker 2: our research.
Speaker 1: Arizona has a race track industry degree. Mississippi State has
Speaker 1: a floral management degree. Right, app State a fermentation sciences degree.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, UNLV entertainment engineering. Yes, sense.
Speaker 2: The thing that's a bummer is I think at Texas
Speaker 2: A and M it's only a meat certificate you get,
Speaker 2: which would be great on the graphic that like speeding
Speaker 2: oil has a meat certificate. And I also want to
Speaker 2: say Georgia has a poultry sciences school.
Speaker 1: Would make sense that the ball State has a popular
Speaker 1: culture degree, which sounds like a hell of a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. Right, great job.
Speaker 2: Is that where Jason Whitlock went?
Speaker 1: I think it is. And then the only other one
Speaker 1: I have here that amused me was Duke has Canadian studies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's fine, it's fine. Watch some SCTV A little unusual. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Canadian studies, Duke acc.
Speaker 2: We're acceptable, all right, that's I think it's it's not
Speaker 2: going to pay dividends, but when it does no cash.
Speaker 1: I like it. All right, begasic.
Speaker 2: I need to make sure that I'm sitting down at
Speaker 2: least for a moment, oh before I have to stand
Speaker 2: up and do a demonstration.
Speaker 1: Ye, ladies and gentlemen, let's talk a little bit about
Speaker 1: late game James Franklin.
Speaker 2: Are there Penn Stators here?
Speaker 1: All right? I was afraid of clockmand it all counts.
Speaker 1: So James Franklin in his tenure at Penn State is
Speaker 1: fifteen and thirteen in games decided by one score.
Speaker 2: That is not the worst in the Big Ten. Nope,
Speaker 2: by any stretch. It's actually about middle of.
Speaker 1: The path Big Ten. Continue. It's the problem is.
Speaker 2: That he's three and twelve versus Ohio State, Michigan and
Speaker 2: Michigan State.
Speaker 1: That's an issue.
Speaker 2: James Franklin is sort of known at this point among
Speaker 2: many Penn State fans and some college football fans who
Speaker 2: you know, happened to pay attention at the wrong time for.
Speaker 1: Just kind of overthinking it.
Speaker 2: Like I had a moment on our show years ago
Speaker 2: where I was doing an ad read for Blue Apron
Speaker 2: and the word was.
Speaker 1: Globe tomatoes, globe globe.
Speaker 2: Are you comparing James Franklin to somebody who might not
Speaker 2: be able to read?
Speaker 1: And you know the problem was I everthought it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I'm always like, you know, I feel a bit
Speaker 1: overwhelmed by you with your Hugh down noodles. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I decided and said that the proper pronunciation was globe
Speaker 1: and nailed it. You did a great job, And you know,
Speaker 1: I just I never really lived that one down. I
Speaker 1: kind of got the.
Speaker 2: Yips when it came to pronouncing the word globe. We
Speaker 2: got emails asking if that was a bit, that was
Speaker 2: not a bit?
Speaker 1: No. And so here we are with James Franklin, where
Speaker 1: at the end of a game, it seems rather obvious
Speaker 1: to many of us watching at home what should occur,
Speaker 1: but instead he's playing in the Citrus Bowl, He's got
Speaker 1: three timeouts left and decides that he'd like to take
Speaker 1: all of them home with him in the offseason. Yeah,
Speaker 1: other very questionable decisions. So we went back, we actually
Speaker 1: reviewed the tape and if I could do a demonstration
Speaker 1: for there are two stages of late game James Franklin.
Speaker 1: That is like a safety demonstration. This is like a
Speaker 1: safety demonstration. So the first this is how you know
Speaker 1: this is this is when shit's getting real, right, we
Speaker 1: kind of have to crossed arms look like yep, yep.
Speaker 1: He's just staring longingly up at the scoreboard and maybe
Speaker 1: back at his assistant coaches or some of the other players.
Speaker 2: He's singing signs and co signs. He's trying to figure.
Speaker 1: Out Zachie Zach Allifanakis. Yeah. But then when he goes
Speaker 1: all this, the hands hit the hips.
Speaker 2: When the hands hit the hips, that is def con won.
Speaker 1: And that is what you need to worry if you're
Speaker 1: a Penn State fan about late game James Franklin losing
Speaker 1: again to a big game, a big team like Ohio State,
Speaker 1: Michigan or Michigan State or Kentucky CUSA easy, Pete. It's
Speaker 1: a long debate, Pete. That's all I have to say
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 2: Okay, you will get points, but Penn State's gonna be
Speaker 2: pretty good, so it probably won't happen often, right, But again,
Speaker 2: it's like an unusual major when it does.
Speaker 1: When it does, it will happen twice this year. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot. Joe Runner is two and a
Speaker 1: half late game James situations throughout the course of the
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Sei the hip holes, I look for the heads.
Speaker 2: I'm serious. I went back and looked the hip hold
Speaker 2: the hip holes. That's when you know it's getting real,
Speaker 2: all right.
Speaker 1: The pick is in. This is also my pick. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I decided to go with a crowd favorite. Let's
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about postgame handshake tension.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a conversation we need to have. It's mostly
Speaker 2: about Michigan's coach.
Speaker 1: We did, again, a fair amount of research on this,
Speaker 1: and you're right, Jew Harbaugh has been in a lot
Speaker 1: of these situations.
Speaker 2: It's like Forrest Gumm finding himself a different points of
Speaker 2: history background.
Speaker 1: Who did he run after Jim Schwartz? Yes, he ran.
Speaker 2: No, Jim Schwartz ran after him. Oh that's not fair.
Speaker 1: That was ugly. You have the Pete Carroll thing, what's
Speaker 1: your deal? What's your deal? Real?
Speaker 2: It was a jerk star comeback Jim.
Speaker 1: Harbaugh on that one. What's your deal?
Speaker 2: And he ran away from Dan Mullen in the Peach Bowl,
Speaker 2: which didn't happen Jane did not happen. But no, they're
Speaker 2: they're like we had Gary Patterson and our brills, they
Speaker 2: were very upset at each other.
Speaker 1: We have these these tense moments.
Speaker 2: You have printed out a list of coaches that you
Speaker 2: think run the hottest right now that are most likely
Speaker 2: to be involved.
Speaker 1: I was saying, we could pull the room a little
Speaker 1: bit on, like, okay, four or five of these guys. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so just give a round of applause if
Speaker 1: you think this guy runs hot enough to maybe conjure
Speaker 1: up some sort of tension, manufactured tension because of like
Speaker 1: a penalty here Tom Herman, I think it's gonna do off.
Speaker 1: I think Tom Herman has a lot of passive aggressiveness
Speaker 1: in him that we just we don't always see. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like as opposed to gust Malson, who just
Speaker 1: buries it to dawn air. But did you pard of
Speaker 1: the like Ned Flanders before, Yes, the episode of Simpsons
Speaker 1: when Ned Flanders kept bearing it then it all came out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it was.
Speaker 2: Well, we know Tom Herman doesn't have aggressive aggressiveness because
Speaker 2: we saw him try to.
Speaker 1: Demolish a locker and it didn't go well. No, it
Speaker 1: didn't go well. Now, I think Tom Herman is a
Speaker 1: candidate for this. I think PJ. Fleck has a real
Speaker 1: opportunity to Yeah, PJ Fleck, you know, high motor, say
Speaker 1: high motor, throw the boat, trying to build Minnesota up
Speaker 1: into something. Could be a tricky team in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, tie not a little tight, Yeah yeah, a little Yeah.
Speaker 1: He's got the huge tin of huge thing is gigantic. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he seems like the kind of guy who might
Speaker 1: take something the wrong way, decide that he's just going
Speaker 1: to pull a Buddy Ryan and run straight to the
Speaker 1: straight to the tunnel. Yeap? Who else here?
Speaker 2: Herm Edwards wild card?
Speaker 1: Wild card?
Speaker 2: They're not they're not super into it. It seems as
Speaker 2: her Edwards being running hot because he wants to talk. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Herm Edwards wants to talk. He wants to get to
Speaker 2: the core and find out about the person. He's a Catholic,
Speaker 2: as we were told when he learned that Arizona State
Speaker 2: was the sun Devils, the Devil's digest.
Speaker 1: He wants to talk it out.
Speaker 2: Will mush Champ, Yes, obviously, Will much Champ I think
Speaker 2: is yeah, he's thought about this more than once. Oh, absolutely,
Speaker 2: he'll rip off his shirt at the middle of the field. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but no, ed Orgron's the next one on that shirt.
Speaker 2: The problem with that Osron, he's gonna get really upset.
Speaker 2: When he gets upset, he starts warbling and gurbling, and
Speaker 2: the other coach isn't going to know how to respond.
Speaker 2: The other coach will leave because he's afraid of it.
Speaker 2: Or yeah, it'll be like a passive handshakes yep, postgame
Speaker 2: handshake tension.
Speaker 1: What is it? What are the options? Though?
Speaker 2: If you are up, you're clearly upset each other. Somebody's
Speaker 2: running up the score and calling a time out to
Speaker 2: put him another you know, uh to score again. Whatever
Speaker 2: the what are your options? If you are greeting each
Speaker 2: other one you.
Speaker 1: Can run away, that's the full buddy, Ryan.
Speaker 2: You can get you can get to each other's faces,
Speaker 2: but you're not gonna be able to articulate everything because
Speaker 2: it's real quick and separate, right.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a lot of like fuck you,
Speaker 1: fuck me, fuck you.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a lot of that because we're talking
Speaker 2: about coaches and that's as far as it goes generally.
Speaker 2: Or you're gonna get the what's your deal? And then
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh lightning on his feet, what's your deal? There
Speaker 2: are limited options, but I think those are good. And
Speaker 2: don't forget on the FCS level, we still have Bo Polini.
Speaker 1: Just floating in the ether ever the free agent in
Speaker 1: this category. Yes, it's always willing to perform. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna get a couple again. When it hits,
Speaker 1: it hits. All right, where are we going next year? Jam?
Speaker 1: All right? Next?
Speaker 2: So we've had, Yes, we've had a couple of pretty
Speaker 2: big hires. Coaches who are coordinators in the SEC go
Speaker 2: other places Oregon, Colorado Open, sort of the more recent ones.
Speaker 2: There's something about an SEC mentality at a non SEC school. Again,
Speaker 2: it's like swag. What's an SEC mentality?
Speaker 1: Nobody knows.
Speaker 2: It's having generally really good players more than the other teams.
Speaker 2: As far as I can tell, though, Eugene's not gonna
Speaker 2: have an SEC mentality.
Speaker 1: I've been there.
Speaker 2: Boulder is not gonna have an SEC mentality.
Speaker 1: I've been there.
Speaker 2: An SEC mentality involves railroading a referee who calls your
Speaker 2: basketball game not great and ruining his life in business,
Speaker 2: tailgating on train tracks, tailgating next to a nuclear power plant,
Speaker 2: hearing that your coach has a thirty six million dollar
Speaker 2: buyout and saying, all right, what what when you get mad?
Speaker 1: You paint a rock.
Speaker 2: That's a real thing at Tennessee, Lane Kiffin leeds, We're
Speaker 2: gonna sho him.
Speaker 1: We're gonna paint a rock. I just don't see these
Speaker 1: things happening. Ty, you wanna kill a bunch of trees? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they kill trees. I know or how to do it.
Speaker 2: Sorry, roll Tide, you yell Roll Tide like it's World Star.
Speaker 2: It makes no sense at any point. I just don't
Speaker 2: see it happening the sec mentality anywhere else.
Speaker 1: This is a very close cousin of another name that
Speaker 1: named another item we had in our list. Coach comes
Speaker 1: in and wants to be more physical, yes, like out
Speaker 1: of Color, does not want to be a little more physical,
Speaker 1: right like it just it always happens. We had one
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. New defensive coordinator wants to
Speaker 1: approach the game with a more attacking, aggressive mentality. These
Speaker 1: are all kind of in the same genus generally speaking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I like this one a lot. I think you're
Speaker 1: I think you're in line for some points. Here. I
Speaker 1: think I'm feeling very good about this. Are we ready for?
Speaker 2: This is my pick once again?
Speaker 1: This is again your pick. Yes, I think this rounds
Speaker 1: out my roster. The pick is in. This is your
Speaker 1: last pick, a big one.
Speaker 2: Les Miles is one of five coaches who has won.
Speaker 1: A national chance. Job.
Speaker 2: If at any point anybody says this and the other
Speaker 2: person in the broadcast booth doesn't start with a sentence
Speaker 2: with okay, but.
Speaker 1: Okay, but.
Speaker 2: Then they should be fired on the spot. Les Miles
Speaker 2: has won a national championship. He's one of five who
Speaker 2: have won the national champions You know who the five are,
Speaker 2: So it's jimbo obviously, the first person you think of
Speaker 2: college football championship head coach. Obviously, Nick Saban, Dabo Sweeney.
Speaker 1: The fifth is tricky. Some would say old dog new tricks.
Speaker 1: Some of day old dog new tricks. It's Mac Brown
Speaker 1: is the fifth, which is insane.
Speaker 2: We're in such a bad place as a sport that
Speaker 2: Mac Brown and Less Miles are in an impressive group
Speaker 2: of people.
Speaker 1: What I like about this one is that again, announcers
Speaker 1: have a lot of time to kill when they're up
Speaker 1: there in the booth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and somebody on like the Z team is going
Speaker 2: to have to do Kansas schemes. No disrespect to the
Speaker 2: one Kansas fan who listened at emailed he was very
Speaker 2: angry about our preview. Yeah, he was sorry about that, dude,
Speaker 2: really sorry, Hey, okay, not really. And I quote, why
Speaker 2: didn't you talk about Kansas, Kansas having the best secondary
Speaker 2: in the Big twelve?
Speaker 1: Kansas? And I looked it up. Kansas had the worse
Speaker 1: secondary in the Big twelve.
Speaker 2: So if you're wondering if college football is an uncurable disease,
Speaker 2: we got an email from a Kansas fan asking why
Speaker 2: we weren't more optimistic about Kansas.
Speaker 1: But what I like about this is because announcers going
Speaker 1: to find himself in some black hole, the pregnant pause,
Speaker 1: the whole fluty thing. Yeah, and he's going to start
Speaker 1: talking about how you know, less Miles coming to Lawrence
Speaker 1: gives instant credibility to a Kansas football team program that
Speaker 1: has lost I'm not kidding ninety games in eight years.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: That's a boot that is three times the amount that
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer has lost in his entire collegiate coaching career
Speaker 1: eight years, nine or more losses every year since twenty
Speaker 1: ten so I know everybody's just like everyone's hearing this.
Speaker 2: But with Virgineers, I love it, but it's they've been
Speaker 2: really bad for quite some time.
Speaker 1: Over the room. It's like, boo, yeah, you brought it
Speaker 1: all down.
Speaker 2: So the thing with Kansas is to you, if you
Speaker 2: were going to subscribe to the Mountain Gladwell ten thousand
Speaker 2: hours rule, is Kansas or is it Rutgers? Who's closer
Speaker 2: to becoming a losing expert?
Speaker 1: I feel like it's Rutgers. It has to be Rutgers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the lows have been lower. I feel like it's been right.
Speaker 1: It's got to be Rutgers. I think it's Rutgers.
Speaker 2: So congratulations Kansas. We're not Rutgers.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I like about this is, you
Speaker 1: know Winter Lose. It's like the old Winter Lose became
Speaker 1: for the booze. Thing with you like this is this
Speaker 1: could represent less his belief of glory right, Like it's
Speaker 1: probably a Swan song. This is probably not a long
Speaker 1: term thing at Kansas. If nothing else, there'll be at
Speaker 1: least a couple interesting things that fall out of the
Speaker 1: Jayhawks football program this year. And that's okay. It's okay.
Speaker 1: As college football fans.
Speaker 2: I enjoyed that last was really enthusiastic about getting back
Speaker 2: into coaching. Interviewed at a couple of group of five schools,
Speaker 2: and the reports were it didn't go super well, We're
Speaker 2: not hiring them. And then Kansas stands up and says,
Speaker 2: how what. Okay, that's last miles in Kansas right now,
Speaker 2: all right, our last pick of the evening. I want
Speaker 2: to have a serious discussion here, folks.
Speaker 1: Pregnant pause. I want to talk about Midfield logo desecration. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not Michigan centric. I love it.
Speaker 2: Was that your James Frank Okay, did I sell it?
Speaker 2: I'm just doing it for this side of the room.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So there was an issue, a moment, an issue whatever
Speaker 2: where Devin Bush from Michigan.
Speaker 1: Bank Yeah, oh yeah, decided to take some matters into
Speaker 1: his own hands and go on out and just take
Speaker 1: his heel, his big old boot to the Michigan State
Speaker 1: Spartan logo at Midfield. We watched the video backstage about
Speaker 1: eight times. It kind of never gets old. At one point,
Speaker 1: his his earphones fall off and then he just stop him, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Then he decides like he's just ready to go coaches
Speaker 1: have to hold him back like he was fired up
Speaker 1: for that game against Little Brother. Yes, there was also
Speaker 1: a situation with I believe Baker Mayfield a.
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, a little bit of Baker Mayfield to him.
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield decided that he was going to have some
Speaker 1: fun with the midfield logo. Our issue with this, and
Speaker 1: you brought up a very point there are a lot
Speaker 1: of schools now that just have field turf. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: more difficult. And so if you want to go out
Speaker 1: there and destroy the midfield logo, like you really gotta
Speaker 1: want it, you have to try. You will really hurt
Speaker 1: the turf in this game.
Speaker 2: And the really good part of this story, Michigan State
Speaker 2: does not have field turf. They have natural grass.
Speaker 1: And we looked it up. Michigan State has.
Speaker 2: An award winning field like the Turf Association two years running, folks.
Speaker 2: They are one of four schools in America that has
Speaker 2: won Turf of the Year twice.
Speaker 1: That's what Devin Bush did to it.
Speaker 2: He treated it like the spotted owl and dumb and dumber.
Speaker 2: This beautiful, pristine, award winning turf Devin Bush desecrated, not
Speaker 2: unlike what Baker Mayfield did with the flag at Ohio State.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is gonna happen.
Speaker 2: Half the stuff on here probably won't happen, right, But
Speaker 2: when it does, I want to be the one money
Speaker 2: waiting for it to fall at the back of the truck. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So there you go. So all right, let's see what
Speaker 2: we got here and see our final These are good teams,
Speaker 2: these are solid teams. So go through your roster real quick.
Speaker 2: I've got do you have Trevy up there? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: work shopping at.
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence as the already the first pick in the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one NFL draft. Tiny field demos, which I love.
Speaker 1: Mike Loxley knows the DMV. I'm so jealous of tiny
Speaker 1: field demos. Let it be known. Does that say near
Speaker 1: win Jim mear win Jim for James Franklin. Yeah. Again,
Speaker 1: the Penn State contention.
Speaker 2: Is digging it, headshake, snubbing, and midfield desecration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yours. Oh, I have to turn all the
Speaker 1: way around. Okay.
Speaker 2: So we've got the Secretary of swagger culture, Manny Diaz.
Speaker 2: That's a mouthful. We've got transfer portal girl, We've got
Speaker 2: off season motivation, and usual major the sec mentality girl
Speaker 2: and then let's is elites with a giant asterisk and
Speaker 2: then the asterisk underneath it says eh. And so we
Speaker 2: have yet another Todd McShay mel kiper in the audience.
Speaker 2: So from NBC Sports Network, please welcome Tim Murray.
Speaker 1: Where's him? Where's him? Where is it?
Speaker 2: He's all dressed up, folks, he is swearing his finest
Speaker 2: clip flops. Go on. Okay, so we have complete rosters
Speaker 2: that need evaluation. You can watch him on It's The
Speaker 2: Daily Line, The Daily Line, Yes, new show. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: sort of looks like Scott van Pelt right now I
Speaker 2: have hair, yeah, but he has hair pretty great and
Speaker 2: a lot less money.
Speaker 1: Yes. So if you're betting you do a show called
Speaker 1: The Daily Line, I do.
Speaker 2: If you're betting on any of these to occur more
Speaker 2: frequently than any of the others, which one are you picking?
Speaker 1: I'll just say this tide.
Speaker 2: Did you know that Mike Locksley's new coach is former Tamatha.
Speaker 1: Head coach whoa v gmv D M.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll definitely mention in Marilyn Howard when it's like
Speaker 2: thirty five, Yeah, Howard's gonna be up that big.
Speaker 1: Again Taylor. I'm sorry it hurt. Taylor's left. You don't
Speaker 1: know where he's gone. Can I make a caveat? Can I? Can? I?
Speaker 1: Can I better your number one overall? Picked? Sure? WHOA?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: How many times on F S one or ESPN are
Speaker 1: they going to say, should Tyler Trevor Lawrence sit out
Speaker 1: next year? On my sheet? That needs to be added?
Speaker 1: If that counts, then you win.
Speaker 2: It counts, then you win, because that's gonna be the
Speaker 2: whole off season.
Speaker 1: Because what happens inevitably once the NFL types get there,
Speaker 1: get their claws on Trevor Trevor Lawrence. If you numb one,
Speaker 1: he would have been plus. It becomes that age old
Speaker 1: argument because we've seen it happen with guys sitting out
Speaker 1: Bowl games and like, does Saquon Barkley really want to
Speaker 1: risk injury that sort of thing. Trevor Lawrence is another year,
Speaker 1: Trevor Larns is two years left. It would be masterful
Speaker 1: if we heard it this year. I would saybe he
Speaker 1: should just quit now and just like go to NFL Europe?
Speaker 1: Is that still a thing? There's arena football. I was
Speaker 1: in Miami.
Speaker 2: As people know, Miami has a great sport contention. Sure,
Speaker 2: And I'm listening to Dolphin fans and they're like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, Trevor Lawrence, those open and I don't know
Speaker 2: whether or not to interject into people's bar room conversation.
Speaker 2: And I just leaned over and go, he's got two
Speaker 2: years of village, but he's got to go to college
Speaker 2: for two more years. And I just leaned back in
Speaker 2: and they're like, damn Dolphin fans. Otherwise otherwise was Nick right?
Speaker 1: Nice?
Speaker 2: The lebron apologist Bill Snyder's apology has retired, so the
Speaker 2: transfer portal ger goes down, It does a little bit,
Speaker 2: but Pat Fitzgerald came through in the clutch.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: Smartphones, man, smartphones or you guys just you know, don't
Speaker 2: have fans.
Speaker 1: The less is Elite is tremendous. Thank you. I will
Speaker 1: give that to Dan. I want to give it to you.
Speaker 1: I want to the tiny field demo.
Speaker 2: Can we also add in how many times Reggie Bush
Speaker 2: and Matt Lioner we'll talk to Brady Quinn about five
Speaker 2: Notre Dame UIs, Yeah, it will happen.
Speaker 1: All the time every show, Like I always feel like
Speaker 1: as a Notre Dame fan, it is a college football
Speaker 1: you don't need to be a Notre Dame fan. I
Speaker 1: always feel like there is like an unspoken tension there.
Speaker 1: It's very weird for me to watch all of those
Speaker 1: guys on the same field interacting and like acting friendly
Speaker 1: field because yeah, fie field, because it just seems like
Speaker 1: they should be sworn enemies. There should be a boo.
Speaker 2: Was there?
Speaker 1: I was there too? Oh? Yeah, thank you? I do
Speaker 1: want to know Dan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is the Arizona forty four to fifteen win playing
Speaker 2: in Oregon's locker room right now for officers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you lost to Arizona by twenty nine points. I
Speaker 1: didn't lose.
Speaker 2: I just is that the Notre Dame fans out there
Speaker 2: does tie, just concedes too much.
Speaker 1: You need to fight back with the Notre Dame jabs. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they lost.
Speaker 2: They lost to Arizona by more points than Notre Dame
Speaker 2: lost at Clemson. Remember that this is twenty four to
Speaker 2: fifteen and Khalil Tait was hurt.
Speaker 1: It's true.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't great. It wasn't great. Let's just review
Speaker 2: Notre Dame playoff touchdowns, top three, top four, top five,
Speaker 2: let's whatever.
Speaker 1: You want to review the health rich era or we
Speaker 1: want to.
Speaker 2: He was. He went to the playoff in Florida, touchdow. Okay,
Speaker 2: do you have any other I uh, I would give
Speaker 2: a it's okay, Notre Dame is subhealth Ridge.
Speaker 1: It happens we didn't lose to Arizona by twenty nine. No,
Speaker 1: I would give a slight lean to Dan's rocks.
Speaker 2: I think the last pick the less miles, because you know,
Speaker 2: every game when Kansas is down by thirty five, oh
Speaker 2: my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, yeah he won. He has a rink,
Speaker 1: he wears his hands and who was the who's the rapper?
Speaker 1: He got to come to Springfest or whatever? The spring game? Ye, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was snoop. It was a snoop. Yeah, so you
Speaker 1: got that. No, it was it was some more recent Yeah,
Speaker 1: brick bro, that's pretty good.
Speaker 2: I was. I was.
Speaker 1: I was desperately trying to find a way to talk
Speaker 1: about all the makeup he wore in that Capital one commercially.
Speaker 2: But my favorite, and it's going to give you an
Speaker 2: early lead, was the weather Demonstration because you know, for
Speaker 2: the first three weeks, yeah, you're picking Texas. That's going
Speaker 2: to give you a massive lead, and then you never
Speaker 2: go back to weather in like late September through the
Speaker 2: rest of the year. It's just an early lead. I'll
Speaker 2: take the early lead. I'll take the early lead. So
Speaker 2: show of applause. If you are on ties team roster wise,
Speaker 2: they really kept that going.
Speaker 1: They like that was sustained.
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, And if you're on my team ross,
Speaker 2: it's about even.
Speaker 1: But I give a deal. It's Mega Taylor time. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm the Trevor Lawrence. If it includes the sitting out
Speaker 1: a year, that's a whole off season of a lot.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. But it's just it's just the season.
Speaker 1: It's just I have I have a very bad tendency
Speaker 1: of picking things two years before they happened. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I did the Mike Gundy hair thing, like before he
Speaker 2: grew the mullet. How could I possibly know? He's like, really,
Speaker 2: he's gonna grow a mullet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he grew a freaking mullet a year after I
Speaker 1: picked the hair thing, and I was kicking myself for
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna be a year ahead on here?
Speaker 1: It could be the Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, Trevor Lawrence, that's just gonna be all you know,
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence would.
Speaker 1: Sit and if Mike Loxley ends up, you know, maybe surprising.
Speaker 1: If you teams this year at Maryland.
Speaker 2: I think you'd say it surprisingly grows hair. That would
Speaker 2: be great, that would be I would get points for that, dude,
Speaker 2: you do.
Speaker 1: But if that ends up happening, that's something that I
Speaker 1: could see.
Speaker 2: I think you have higher potential. I think I think
Speaker 2: there's a little more consistency with mine. I like it. Okay, so,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, Tim Murray slash Meltkuiper slash Top McShay.
Speaker 1: So those are picks. The show's not over though, so
Speaker 1: at this point. So there you have it. Dallas DC
Speaker 1: sellout crowds in both spots. Thank you to everyone who
Speaker 1: came out to see us live and to all of
Speaker 1: you listening at home. The college football season is finally
Speaker 1: here and we are excited to share it with you.
Speaker 1: Until next time, stay solid,
