I've heard so many players say, well, 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:10.639 I want to be happy. 0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.000 You want to be happy for a day? Edo steak 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:14.800 is that woo woom? 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:20.520 And then and tie, welcome back to the solid verbal 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.400 Boys and girls, my name is Ty Hildebrand. That fine 0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:25.279 gentleman over there are the one. They only still be 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:29.440 a comparable Dan Rubinstein, except he is still out. 0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:30.800 In beautiful Sonny, southern California. 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.680 How are you you might be able to hear the rain? 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:36.320 It has not been Sonny. It has not been beautiful. 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.360 It has been gray, It has been foggy, it has 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.680 been cold. Like you ever play with a kid in 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:41.480 a garage? 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.080 Tie, ya, that's. 0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.000 What we've been doing. So there's a little bit of 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.760 fresh air and he doesn't get drenched. 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:48.319 The three year old. 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.479 We've got like a sand table with a bunch of 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.280 trucks and tractors. We're kicking balls. We brought out basketball hoops, 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.600 so we're making the best of the situation. Tie, but 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.440 not Sonny. Not beautiful hopefully the next few day, but 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.640 a little bit nicer. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:06.800 Well, hopefully wherever this finds you, it is in good spirits, 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.040 in good health. It is the final day of twenty 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.360 twenty one. Good ridd is. We are moving on, going 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:20.160 on to all things twenty twenty two. But this episode 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:23.039 will find most of our listeners on New Year's Eve, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.920 so you can already understand where this show is going 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.040 to go. We're going to take some New Year's resolutions 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.520 here that we got from the verballer Hood. We're going 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.560 to give some of our own, not just with respect 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:40.520 to ourselves, that's boring, but with respect to our teams. 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.600 Be it Notre Dame, suren State or Oregon or Oklahoma 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.480 or USC or happeace yeah, laugh, yeah, and Lehi.

We've got resolutions not only for ourselves 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:53.120 but for our respective teams, and we've got some that 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.480 we collected from the Verballerhood. We put out that call 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.560 yesterday on the social feeds, so we'll get into that. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.040 We're going to start though, by doing a bunch of 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.520 bowl recaps, because where we left it a week ago 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:08.480 was with the Myrtle Beach Bowl, and a bunch of 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.760 games have gone on. There's been some cancelations, what sucks, 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.639 but we'll talk about that here momentarily we'll go through 0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:19.200 all that and much much more.

The 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.440 only other bit of housekeeping I have is solid Giveaway 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.520 dot Com. Solid Giveaway dot Com. A new friend of 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.440 the show, Desmond Howard. We've got a sign mini helmet 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.280 from him that we're gonna be giving out. You've got 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:10.320 like four or five free steps that you need to 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:13.480 complete for us to get your name in that hat. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.200 We're going to draw the winner on the day of 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.839 the National Championship January the tenth. 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.599 Everything I have, why don't we dive into bowl recaps 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:25.560 Dan Let's bawl recaps. 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.160 So we've got a bunch of games here. We also 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:32.479 had five games that were canceled, either because one of 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.120 the teams or both of the teams were dealing with 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.920 COVID issues. In the case of the Arizona Bowl, Central 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.679 Michigan just decided we're gonna go to the Sun Bowl instead. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.240 We're gonna they opted in to another bowl. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.720 Yeah, we're gonna chase that Tony the Tiger money and 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.120 no offense barstool, but we're going to play in the 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.880 Sun Bowl instead, So right, Those were the Military Bowl 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:58.479 between Boston College and ECU, the Holiday Bowl between NC 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.760 State and UCLA, the Holliday Bowl. Tried feverishly to find 0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.799 somebody else that could play NC State instead of UCLA, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:11.279 but that was not gonna happen, The Wasabi Fenway Bowl, 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:13.679 which is a bummer because a game in Fenway Park. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:13.960 Would have been cool. 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.279 Yeah, it would have been cool to say SMU and UVA 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:21.040 is off. The Hawaii Bowl between Memphis and Hawaii is 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.159 also off. And then the aforementioned barstool Arizona Bowl that 0:05:25.320 --> 0:05:29.880 was previously scheduled between Boise and Central Michigan. Central Michigan 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.000 going to greener pastures to play Wazoo in the Sun 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.160 Bowl and said, so, those are the five games that 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.880 are off. Hopefully there won't be more after we hit 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.000 the stop button of this recording, but at least at present, 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.080 it seems as if the remainder of the bowl lineup 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:46.919 will remain intact. 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.360 Yes, I saw a lot of emotion out there, said 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:54.680 especially about the cancelation of the Hawaii Bowl on I 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.200 think it was Christmas Eve right that there was. It 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.920 was a day without a lot of other sporting act 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:04.279 and Hawaii is very closely aligned. The state of Hawaii 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.600 is very closely aligned with the holidays. And you know, 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.200 you're you're sitting around with your family and there's just 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.800 a college football game to enjoy when nothing else is competing, 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.120 and we lost it. That that kind of. 0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:19.480 Sucked absolutely, So hopefully this will not continue to be 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.520 a thing throughout the Remainner Bowl season at time of recording. 0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.159 Isn't At time of recording, We've got the bowl game 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.320 going on between North Carolina and South Carolina, the New 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.839 Border War if you will, the Duke's Mayo Bowl. Yep, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.520 we will update you if we find out who is 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:42.760 getting the Duke's Mayo Bath. Wow, do we need? Must? 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:47.719 We must? We update, we will paint that in as 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.440 detailed in audio way as we can. If and when 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.120 it goes down during the course of this recording, Oh. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.760 My god, I just I know they watered down the mayo. 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.880 I wondered the viscosity, how quickly it slides and ooz 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:05.320 is out of the giant Okay, the giant kerraf or 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.599 whatever it's in the gatorade cooler that it's in. I 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:12.600 wonder if but like it has, is it a slow like, Oh, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.200 this is awkward, it's coming out so slowly? Or is 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:16.720 it going to be a slushy mayo? 0:07:16.880 --> 0:07:21.880 Man? Water down mayo sounds brutally terrible. Yeah, that sounds awful. 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.480 A weirdly accurate description of Mac Brown at times, though. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.960 Water down mayo, Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:35.400 You're not wrong, Okay. Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl, San 0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:39.480 Diego State thirty eight utsa twenty four back and forth 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:43.080 game for a half, San Diego State pulled away in 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.720 the second half nearly five hundred yards of offense for 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.440 the Aztecs, which is not at all what we've grown 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.360 accustomed to seeing throughout the course of the twenty twenty 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.400 one season, but they're led by Lucas Johnson, who threw 0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:57.840 for three thirty three and three touchdowns. He also ran 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.640 for a score. UTSA had an op doubt from Sincere McCormick. 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.840 Your boy, right, so they're a bit shorthanded. They end 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:06.520 up losing this one thirty eight twenty four. 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:11.200 I believe Lucas Johnson in the transfer portal after winning 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:11.600 that game? 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.240 Is he not? I don't believe. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:17.240 I believe so, yeah, yeah, I think it's a similar case. Yeah, 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:21.600 Lucas Johnson enters the transfer portal. Matta Rise of the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.400 records setting punter entered the NFL draft through his name 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.640 into the NFL Draft mix. And I want to say 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.680 Wyoming's quarterback did the same thing, which prompted Craig Bowl 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:33.240 to announce that Wyoming is open for business. Right quarterbacks 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:36.920 interested in playing for Wyoming after they won their bowl game. 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:38.520 Levi Williams, I believe is the name of there. 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.480 Yeah, Levi Williams. But you're right, That's what I was 0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.840 going to talk about. Next the famous Idaho Potato Bowl. 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:46.120 Wyoming won fifty two to twenty eight over Kent State. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:47.599 This game was a ton of fun. I don't know 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.599 if he had a chance to catch it. But a 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.600 ton of fun. Ninety points, close to twelve hundred yards 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.920 of total offense, no turnovers, so just all offense, no defense. 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:02.760 Kent State, which plays at a breaknecking pace, had over 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.520 three hundred yards through the air and on the ground, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.200 which is crazy because they lost. Well the last time 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.520 a team did that and lost. I don't have the 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:15.200 Elias Sports Bureau on speed dial, but I got to 0:09:15.240 --> 0:09:18.880 imagine that's a pretty deadly combination. Four hundred and eleven 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.520 yards on the ground for Wyoming and their rushing offense, 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:26.520 which ultimately proved victorious. You mentioned Levi Williams in the 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:31.559 transfer portal set a record sixteen rushes, two hundred yards 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.600 and four touchdowns on the ground here for the famous 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.880 side of hope Potato Bowl win dedicated the game to 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.240 his grandmother who passed away. So that's a nice gesture 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.040 for Levi. We hope he's doing okay, and we know 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.320 he did okay in this game statistically speaking, in for 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.520 his team as they won fifty two to twenty eight 0:09:49.559 --> 0:09:50.280 over Kent State. 0:09:51.200 --> 0:09:53.840 Yeah, penalty is a bit of a killer at times 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.040 for Kent State in this one. Twelve for ninety five 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.200 yards is what I'm seeing here. But this was Yeah, 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.240 there were playmakers in this game. I enjoyed when I 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:00.640 saw this. 0:10:01.280 --> 0:10:06.280 The Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl Army twenty four MISSOO 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:11.280 twenty two. This was a nail bier. Indeed, came down 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.319 to the wire. Army wanted on a forty one yard 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.640 field goal at the gun. Here is the way this 0:10:18.720 --> 0:10:23.040 thing shook out. Brady Cook, who was Missouri's quarterback a 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.840 red shirt freshman, tossed a short touchdown pass with just 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.400 over a minute left, one to eleven to be exact. 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.880 That makes it twenty two to twenty one. They failed 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:36.520 on the two point conversion. They go into those final 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:41.559 seventy one ticks with a narrow one point lead. It's 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:45.400 at that point in time where Jeff Monkin reaches within 0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:48.920 and he says, you know what, why don't we just 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.880 bring in our third string quarterback called off the bench? Yep, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.839 what is Jabbari laws doing right now? He started for 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.400 us in twenty nineteen, Maybe he'd be interested in going 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.600 out as a senior on high note here. So he 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:06.760 brings him in and Jabbari Loss freaking does it? He 0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.120 freaking does it? He leads the Black Knights down the 0:11:09.120 --> 0:11:12.000 field for that forty one yarder at the gun to 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.800 win it. Army, in doing so wins the game twenty 0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.320 four to twenty two. They snap a seven game losing 0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:24.440 streak against Power five opponents in as you would expect 0:11:24.880 --> 0:11:29.600 the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces ball because of course it's 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.240 the United States Army. Yeah. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.400 No, a terrific performance getting creative in the bowl game 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:36.120 against an SEC team. And I don't know how you 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:40.520 feel about the narrative, like, oh, the SEC is ohing whatever, overrated. 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:43.800 I don't know how you feel about that. But Army 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.080 winning a bowl game, winning, how they have beating some 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.080 of the teams they have along the way, or hanging 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:50.480 with the teams almost beating the teams along the way 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.320 these past two three, four years or whatever. It's an 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:58.360 amazing reflection on Jeff Monkins. So yeah, miszoo down. I mean, 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.680 it's down, guys. They were playing a lot of young guys, 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.640 but either way, this was this was Army's win for sure. 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.960 Over at the Frisco Football Classic. Remember this is the 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:14.480 game they just invented. Correct, Miami, Ohio twenty seven, North 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:19.680 Texas fourteen, Brett Gabert. He is the younger brother of 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:23.720 Blaine Gabbertt. You remember that crazy guy. Of course, Brett 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.760 Gabert named the MVP for Miami Ohio the game. Listen 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:29.719 to this. This is the most impressive thing to me 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:33.840 about this game. This game ended a streak of one 0:12:33.920 --> 0:12:39.400 hundred and forty one consecutive RedHawks games played on artificial turf. 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:43.240 It dates all the way back to twenty ten, when 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:47.000 Miami Ohio opened at Florida one hundred and forty one 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.800 straight games. That record is snapped because of the Frisco 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.320 Football Classic, which apparently was not played an artificial turf. 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.079 For what it's worth, Seth Latrelle now zero to five 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.880 in bowl games in six seasons at North Texas. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.360 Yeah, the Miami defense came to play via turnovers by 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.360 I think they shut them out in the second half, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:09.760 did they not? 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:10.120 Yep? 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:10.440 Yep. 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.640 Yeah, so came to play. Good for taking advantage of 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:15.400 a situation where you get seen by a bunch of 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.200 eyeballs and come out and get to They came in 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.320 five hundred, finished the season seven and six. Brett Gabbert 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.439 had a nice day. Good job for the RedHawks. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:31.079 The Union home mortgage Gasparia Bowl Dan, I like it. 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.520 We go with the Spanish pronunciation here on the solid verbal. 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:39.440 UCF winning the state championship of Florida twenty nine to 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.440 seventeen over those Florida Gators. This one continued after the 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.720 final bell. We had a bit of a scrum at midfield. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.959 I guess the good news is that Florida finally showed 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.800 a little bit of fight, but they did lose the game. 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:56.320 They had a bunch of penalties. They couldn't really extend drives. 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:59.319 They were two of thirteen something like that on thirteen. 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:03.520 That was really bad. Yep. Emery Jones also played, despite 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:07.160 throwing his name in the transfer portal just four point 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.800 eight yards per attempt, he was fourteen of thirty six 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.160 for one hundred and seventy one yards. Meanwhile, UCF had 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.080 two to eighty eight on the ground. Perhaps I was 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:21.920 distracted by mikey Keene backup quarterback and underestimated the motivation 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:25.920 factor for UCF in this game, because clearly they were 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.000 fired up. They had a guy throw a punch like 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:31.480 they were ready, rearing and psyched to go for this 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.880 one here, and they ended up winning by twelve twenty 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:37.200 nine to seventeen. Next year, perhaps I'll put together the 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:41.640 Motivation Task Force among our Patrion folks and make sure 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.280 that nothing like this gets missed. But big win for 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.040 UCF man Gus Mels. I was all fired up after 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:48.440 this one. 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:51.200 Saw him on a private plane. I was not on 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:52.880 the plane. I saw a picture of him on a 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:56.440 private plan with his wife celebraton the Bowl win over Florida. 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.800 Isaiah Bowser ran well. And it's not as if you 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.400 's offense was amazing. They just were able to take 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.040 advantage and keep drives moving. They were like something five 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.600 of twelve, five of thirteen on third down, so they 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.800 were off the field as well. Flora is able to 0:15:10.800 --> 0:15:13.200 make some plays, especially on the ground, but yeah, if 0:15:13.240 --> 0:15:15.120 the offense isn't on the field, it's really hard to 0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:15.960 score points. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:21.320 The Tax Act chamellea Bowl Dan Georgia State, Ball State. 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:24.720 Ball State had a big play early and that was it. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.560 That was That was pretty much the game. Yeah, the 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.480 rest of the way, it was all Darren Granger, the 0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:32.520 quarterback for Georgia State. He dominated this game at four 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.720 total touchdowns. I think we called this one beforehand that 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.600 Ball State was pretty much just a bad team this 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:44.040 year despite a really successful twenty twenty campaign, and we 0:15:44.040 --> 0:15:45.960 were all in. I was all in on Ball State 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:48.640 being a trap game early for Penn State. Remember that 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.520 uh fifty one to twenty. Here Georgia State wins in 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:54.400 resounding fashion. 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:59.800 Yeah, my defense wins ball games largely. You know, you 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:02.000 have to deal with the context of coaches leaving, and 0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:04.600 there's other context of these Bowl games now opt outs 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:08.840 and COVID stuff and transfers, but just taken in a 0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.880 vacuum which doesn't exist. It did really well once again, 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:15.760 like it did, It's done very very well. Now there 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:19.440 are exceptions, right Western Kentucky beating app State. Mississippi State 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.280 will get into it losing the way they did to 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:24.880 Texas Tech. For sure. There are exceptions, but by and large, 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.200 especially if you're not betting against the spread and you're 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.520 in a confidence tight pool, you could do some serious 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:35.359 damage wagering against below average defenses to bad defenses, especially 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:37.840 if they're coming from the MAC early on. Yeah, you 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:38.320 did well. 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.920 I've made a ton of money this Bowl season. To 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:44.720 your point, how do you feel about opt outs? 0:16:46.640 --> 0:16:50.400 I mean every case is different. In the bigger games. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:53.200 I you know, it's on a certain level, you get 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:56.640 it and are protecting a future, and one game stands 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.720 between some bigger names and NFL money, And you know, 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:02.560 if the game isn't a playoff game, if the game 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.399 isn't a huge game, you're like, okay, well, especially if 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.960 you're say a running back, where you're getting hit every 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:11.480 time you touch the ball. But on another level, I 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.720 think Kenny Pickett has good reason to play in a 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:18.520 New Year's six game, especially with a lot of people watching, 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.119 and this to punctuate the season that he's had as 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.280 a Heisman finalist and maybe the best quarterback outside of 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.800 Bryce Young in the country. And it you know, it 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:31.520 sucks in the Ohio State players. I mean, maybe I 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.040 come at it from a biased point of view as 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:37.240 a West Coast human, but I think the Rose Bowl 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:39.480 is a big game. I think it's an important game 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.000 for the sport, and these guys aren't being paid by 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:45.280 the sport. So I understand why you're saying, what a 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:46.919 more do I have to prove if I'm Chris o'lave 0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.600 or Garrett Wilson or something like that. But I guess 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.680 it's just a statement on even the Rose Bowl, something 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.560 I consider to be a big game that maybe other 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.680 people don't where it's just like, Eh, you know, I'm good. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.360 I'm going to pass. I've played all year to get 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:05.199 Ohio State into a really great bowl game and have 0:18:05.240 --> 0:18:08.520 an amazing offense, and you know, I think that's gonna be. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:08.760 It for me. 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:11.920 I'm gonna dip out. I you know. At the same time, 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.560 I can both understand their point of view with one 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.760 game separating themselves from their future, and also say, hey, 0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:19.480 not an amazing thing for the sport. 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:23.520 Kind of sucks. It absolutely sucks, man. It's a huge bummer. 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:27.240 If you're we'll use Ohio State as an example, if 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:31.320 you're losing some of those targets out wide, if you're 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.760 losing some of those gravitational forces on your defense, that sucks. 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:36.040 Man. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.560 I get why they're doing it. They're in particularly good 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.280 shape given how deep they are receiver, sure, but those 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:46.480 are also like it's difficult to become a nationally known 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:48.600 name in college football with a number of teams, with 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:51.840 how many players and coaches move around, it's difficult to 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.320 entrench yourself as a star name. Chris Olivey and Garrett 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:58.040 Wilson are star names, and the Rose Bowl and college 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:00.800 football took a hit without them this season. It's such 0:19:00.800 --> 0:19:04.520 a bummer, and you know, just using Ohio State as 0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:07.560 an example, it sucks if you're a Buckeyes fan that 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:09.400 you don't get to see those guys in the Rose Bowl. 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.760 I get why they're maybe why they're doing it. 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:16.879 I get it, totally get it. But we had a conversation, 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.440 as you know, on our bruinne which we publish exclusively 0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:24.000 on Patreon, about are there any things that can be 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:29.920 done to entice players to continue playing, to not opt 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:32.840 out of bowl games? And outside of there being like 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:37.720 a big ball of money that hangs above midfield, i e. 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:44.320 Squid game style or any kind of hooks that nil 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.880 deals can build into the equation to keep guys out 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:51.280 there for big games like the Rose Bowl. I don't 0:19:51.280 --> 0:19:53.960 know what you can do, and it sucks. It sucks 0:19:53.960 --> 0:19:57.320 that the sport has gone this way. I'm immensely bummed 0:19:57.320 --> 0:19:59.960 out about it. I want to see Kyen Williams out there. 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:02.639 I just don't know what you can do at this point. 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:05.760 I think we're so far down that path and money 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:09.080 has taken hold of college football especially this is like 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.399 an underrepresented historically workforce the fact that they have a 0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:15.280 little bit of power back on their side now, Like 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:17.399 we're all in favor of that to some extent. But 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:19.840 I just hope that somebody can come up with a 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.320 way to keep more of these guys playing, because it 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:23.720 is a bummer to not have them out there. 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.480 Yeah, I want. I mean, I wonder what the playoff's 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.080 role is that, oh, we're not in the playoff. The 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.840 playoff is so important. We worked so hard because we 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.160 had playoff expectations as Ohio State, and now that we've 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:39.160 fallen short of the playoff and it's only the Rose Bowl, 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.160 And I don't want to single out Ohio State. Again, 0:20:41.440 --> 0:20:43.760 I understand from a certain perspective why they're doing this, 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.560 like it's, you know, to each their own, and I 0:20:46.600 --> 0:20:49.120 don't have the full context, neither do you to my knowledge. 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.000 So I don't mean to single out Ohio State because 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.480 I still Thinkkenny Pickett, if he's healthy, should be playing 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.640 in that game against Michigan State. But yeah, I don't 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.080 does expanding the playoff make the playoff that much more 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.879 important that if you don't make the twelve team playoff, 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:06.080 we're going to see even more opt outs out of 0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:08.760 the non playoff games because it's that much more important 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:10.479 and that much If it's so easy to get into 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:12.400 the playoff and our team didn't make the playoff, why 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:16.240 am I hanging around? I don't know. I hope that's 0:21:16.240 --> 0:21:19.280 not the case. I hope this is a something that 0:21:19.320 --> 0:21:23.040 can be rectified somehow, But I don't know. The toothpast 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:24.480 kind of seems out of the tube in terms of 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:26.639 opt outs, and we just have to accept it and 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:27.000 move on. 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:29.800 We'll bring on a player agent in the offseason and 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:30.720 talk more about it. 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:34.040 The player agents are definitely the one saying I don't. 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.840 Think you should be plowing those guys. We'll bring We'll 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:38.760 bring those dudes on. Yeah, in the off season, see 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.160 what we can come up with together. Okay, go over. 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:44.160 The Quick Lane Bowl. Western Michigan ran one up on Nevada. 0:21:44.240 --> 0:21:48.480 Speaking of opt outs, Carson Strong, the noted quarterback for Nevada, 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:50.960 did not play in this one. Nevada was also without 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.080 Jay Norvell, who went to Colorado State, so they were 0:21:54.119 --> 0:21:58.199 really shorthanded. We also forgot to mention this was an 0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:02.440 eleven am kickoff. This is a bodyclock game for Nevada, 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:06.040 that's true. So they had a triple whammy working against them. 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:11.199 Sean Tyler for Western Michigan one hundred and twenty eight 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:14.520 yards in the return game. He had one hundred and 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.040 forty six on the ground to compliment that effort. This 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:20.840 one was never close. Western Michigan won by twenty eight 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:25.359 fifty two to twenty four, and in typical fashion, they 0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:28.880 dumped a big vat of motor oil over Western Michigan's 0:22:28.920 --> 0:22:33.280 coach crazy always Yeah, who would have seen that coming? 0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:39.560 The ticket smarter Birmingham Bowl Houston seventeen, Auburn thirteen. Did 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.439 you watch this game at all? Do you see anything? 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:42.040 A little bit? 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:45.880 A little bit, I saw Dana Holgerson on a plane 0:22:46.160 --> 0:22:50.480 and at a hotel table with the trophy, the ridiculously 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.680 amazing Birmingham Bull Trophy. I did see things like that, 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.520 and he was upset at Brian Harson for taking too 0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:01.000 long in his postgame losing presser. But yeah, I saw some. 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.640 I think I've sort of seen enough of Auburn this 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.840 year where I didn't really mark this game as must watch. 0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.280 But yeah, it was fine, good win for Houston. 0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.919 So here's the deal, right, They catch a touchdown pass 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:17.240 Jake Hurslow for Houston catches a twenty six yarder with 0:23:17.320 --> 0:23:18.560 three and a half left to. 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.520 Give them the lead. Ultimately they end up winning. 0:23:21.359 --> 0:23:23.800 This is probably a game, though, that Auburn should want, 0:23:24.520 --> 0:23:27.800 because they had so many chances to grab this one 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:29.760 and put it on ice, and they kept stalling out 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:34.639 or making mistakes. As such, they finished the year for 0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:38.520 the first time in seventy one years with five straight losses. 0:23:40.119 --> 0:23:43.720 I get that they had Bownicks get hurt and that 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:48.080 was a bit of a step back, and that obviously 0:23:48.119 --> 0:23:51.720 the Birmingham Bowl wasn't a high stakes Bowl situation for them. 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.840 I am curious though, to see which direction this. 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:57.160 Thing goes now moving forward. 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.760 Yeah, because this is a bit of a whimper to 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:04.320 close out a season for Auburn that started on a 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:08.200 great foot that Penn State game, and you know, they 0:24:08.240 --> 0:24:12.399 had opportunities to knock off Alabama. Auburn was in some 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.080 of these games. No, the way they played against Ole 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:18.360 Miss Mississippi State, even in a losing effort, the way 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.160 they beat Arkansas, they were for sure highs for there 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.760 were moments there were a season, yeah for Brian Harson, 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.199 but the fact that they closed out the way that 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.080 they did I don't. I don't think you could put 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:33.640 it all on the quarterback position. So I'm curious now 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:36.080 as we go into twenty two which direction this thing 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:38.360 goes for him? I really am. 0:24:38.440 --> 0:24:41.680 They've made a change at offensive coordinator, so there's gonna 0:24:41.720 --> 0:24:43.639 be new look elements to this team for sure. 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.240 Houston wins seventeen thirteen, big win for them, twelve wins 0:24:48.440 --> 0:24:54.280 on the season. Huge the Serve Pro first Responderble, air 0:24:54.320 --> 0:24:58.360 Force and Louisville. It's not that air Force didn't run 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:02.639 dan they still ran it fifty times, right. It's that 0:25:02.760 --> 0:25:06.400 Hazik Daniels went nine of ten throwing for two point 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:09.200 fifty two and two long touchdowns. 0:25:09.920 --> 0:25:12.080 I don't throw it often, but when I do. 0:25:12.600 --> 0:25:16.440 Yeah. Louisville was playing from behind the whole game. Again, 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:20.080 it was Malik Cunningham trying to will the team to victory. 0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:22.639 In the end, he did score late. They did have 0:25:22.680 --> 0:25:24.680 a crack at an on side kick, but that did 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:28.840 not work. Air Force gets its third straight Bowl win 0:25:29.520 --> 0:25:32.480 and they cap off a ten win season, mostly because 0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:34.480 they threw the ball for two hundred and fifty yards, 0:25:34.480 --> 0:25:38.679 which was totally unexpected and a pleasant story here in bolseason. 0:25:39.880 --> 0:25:40.879 Oh yeah, it was. 0:25:40.920 --> 0:25:44.919 It was great. And Louisville they start slow, they have 0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:48.399 that shot as you mentioned, but air Force with just 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:52.600 that monster second quarter dominating Louisville up front, It's it's 0:25:52.640 --> 0:25:55.879 hard to come back from when the team is running 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:57.960 like they're running, and Air Force was able to make 0:25:57.960 --> 0:26:00.000 plays and air Force was the stronger defense in this game. 0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.720 So this worked out there. They got the stops that 0:26:01.760 --> 0:26:05.560 they needed for my whole defense theory. So awesome, awesome 0:26:05.560 --> 0:26:07.919 way to get to ten wins. Let's get in the 0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:13.400 zone and go to the Liberty bull Dan, what happened here? 0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:14.800 What happened? 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:19.920 What happened to Mississippi State? I think when we said 0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:22.800 that we wanted to give Texas Tech fans a defense, 0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.520 it happened sooner than you know. Putting that out into 0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.320 the universe on a show a couple couple of weeks ago. 0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:30.320 Did we speak it into existence? 0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:32.760 I think we may have. I think Oprah has done 0:26:32.760 --> 0:26:35.680 an episode or two about this where you just need 0:26:35.720 --> 0:26:39.359 to speak your future into existence. And Texas Tech, especially 0:26:39.359 --> 0:26:41.200 with what they were able to do against Mississippi State 0:26:41.240 --> 0:26:43.679 on the ground. Now, obviously they succeeded against the air 0:26:43.760 --> 0:26:45.600 raid through the air and kept a lot of what 0:26:46.160 --> 0:26:47.840 the Bulldogs were trying to do in front of them, 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:49.760 but what they were able to do up front on 0:26:49.840 --> 0:26:53.320 the ground and take advantage of these situations and play 0:26:53.359 --> 0:26:57.200 relatively mistake free football. It was they ran the ball well. 0:26:57.320 --> 0:26:59.960 Donovan Smith made plays. He wasn't the most accurate dude 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:04.840 the world, but made plays. This was kind of out 0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.560 of nowhere to me. This was the biggest shocker of 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:10.159 a score. You watch the game, You're like, Oh, Texas 0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:12.720 Tech playing hard, playing with fire. Maybe Mississippi State just 0:27:12.720 --> 0:27:15.320 didn't have that fire, but I figured they'd be a 0:27:15.359 --> 0:27:17.920 little more into, you know, Mike Leach's interest, But you 0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:20.520 can only do so much from the sideline Mike Leach's 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.040 interest in beating Texas Tech, which he claim still owes 0:27:23.080 --> 0:27:28.040 him money. But either way, either way, awesome way to 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:31.080 head into the Joey McGuire era. I'm I'm a big 0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:35.960 proponent of bulls mean little to nothing, but at the 0:27:36.000 --> 0:27:39.240 same time, there's nothing wrong with some of the feel goods. 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.640 So heading into heading into the final stretch of recruiting, 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.240 heading into the transfer part of the year, heading into 0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:47.920 building a staff, like Joey McGuire didn't have anything to 0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.760 do with this win. But the vibes are good in 0:27:50.840 --> 0:27:53.080 Lubbock right now. In you know, I don't know how 0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.560 long that the shadow of the tail of this bowlwin lasts, 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:58.720 but you know it never hurts, so yeah, good for 0:27:58.760 --> 0:27:59.399 the Red Raiders. 0:27:59.520 --> 0:28:02.199 Joey mc may have run through a wall of an 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.840 auto zone after this. He's that kind of guy. He's 0:28:04.840 --> 0:28:07.240 got a lot of enthusiasm and energy. He got in 0:28:07.280 --> 0:28:09.320 the zone, he did get he probably did get in 0:28:09.320 --> 0:28:15.840 the zone. Yeah, guaranteed rate Bowl. WHOA, This was a snoozer. 0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:23.400 This was eighteen to six. Minnesota one dominated the trenches, 0:28:23.480 --> 0:28:26.560 two hundred and fifty rushing guards. West Virginia could not 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.439 get any kind of momentum going. And I am kicking 0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:33.320 myself because I felt really good. We both felt really 0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:37.840 good about that Minnesota minus five line. Mm hmm. We 0:28:37.920 --> 0:28:41.240 talked about it. You were into it, stronger defense, YEP. 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.280 I was gonna place the bet, and then I got 0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:47.560 cold feet because as you know, I have not bet 0:28:47.600 --> 0:28:51.840 a Minnesota game right in at least two years, true, 0:28:52.200 --> 0:28:54.920 and so you know, you kind of second guess it, 0:28:55.080 --> 0:28:58.120 and I did, and I didn't pull the trigger, and 0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.320 I would have won because even though this game wasn't 0:29:00.360 --> 0:29:03.120 a total blowout, it was kind of a blowout. Minnesota 0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.080 wins by twelve, eighteen to six, and the guaranteed Rate Bowl. 0:29:06.800 --> 0:29:09.440 I think West Virginia might be the answer to the question. 0:29:09.520 --> 0:29:11.480 I don't know if you listened to the Bruinet show 0:29:11.520 --> 0:29:13.720 I did with Bill Connolly, but I asked them who 0:29:13.800 --> 0:29:19.520 the most nappable decent teams games are and he gave 0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.320 a couple of different answers, and like you could say Stanford. 0:29:23.320 --> 0:29:25.000 Obviously Stanford doesn't have a big crowd, but they were 0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:28.600 not a competitive decent team this year. West Virginia as 0:29:28.640 --> 0:29:32.520 a Bowl team might be the most easily napped through 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:37.800 competitive team in America. This Neil Brown version. It's more 0:29:38.400 --> 0:29:42.800 Era more so than Iowa. Yeah, I was interesting, at 0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:45.640 least a little bit more interesting. The offense is for 0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:49.280 sure nappable, but the turnovers make the games competitive, and 0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:51.880 you start turning teams over and the other team's defense 0:29:51.880 --> 0:29:54.920 gets tired and Tyler Goodson gets loose. I can understand 0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:59.440 that Iowa was merely somewhat nappable West Virginia, even with 0:29:59.520 --> 0:30:03.440 their couple of interesting, bigger wins this year or competitive 0:30:03.480 --> 0:30:06.240 games they were like, they're just good enough to be interesting, 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:09.040 but they're just nappable. Would just be like, I don't know, 0:30:09.200 --> 0:30:11.000 I'm just going to drift off for a little bit. 0:30:12.280 --> 0:30:15.160 I think I think West Virginia is my answer about 0:30:16.000 --> 0:30:19.800 the most easily napped through competitive team in America. The 0:30:19.840 --> 0:30:24.360 guaranteed NAT Bowl goes to Yeah, Minnesota, Okay, the Larry 0:30:24.440 --> 0:30:28.640 I'll say so, Alamobile, Oklahoma forty seven, Your Oregon Ducks 0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:32.000 thirty two. Oklahoma was up thirty to three at half. 0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:35.160 Oregon didn't mount something of a charge in the second half, 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:38.600 but couldn't really stop Cable Williams or Kennedy Brooks really 0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:41.320 get the upper hand. What was your read on this game? 0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.800 It looked I didn't watch a lot of it. The 0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:45.520 little that I saw in the first half was a 0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:46.120 tire fire. 0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:47.840 Yeah. 0:30:47.880 --> 0:30:51.000 Two thin teams, both from a coaching perspective and a 0:30:51.040 --> 0:30:54.560 player perspective, on both sides of the ball. Especially, I 0:30:54.560 --> 0:30:58.280 don't even say especially. Both these teams were down key dudes, 0:30:58.320 --> 0:31:01.040 you know, Jaydon Hazelwood transfers to our and saw cave 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:04.200 On Thibodeau ops out. I think Oregon's defense was probably 0:31:04.280 --> 0:31:08.040 a specially hard hit and they were just crazy thing. 0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:11.400 I actually thought they played relatively hard all things considered. 0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:14.719 They had a disastrous second quarter. Anthony Brown threw a 0:31:14.720 --> 0:31:17.040 bad pick early on in this one that changed the 0:31:17.080 --> 0:31:20.480 complexion early on with the score. But I actually came 0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:24.640 away pretty impressed with the fight and the sort of 0:31:25.400 --> 0:31:29.640 almost throwback Joe Morehead e fitt let's go deep part 0:31:29.680 --> 0:31:33.480 of the Oregon offense because Oregon's had talented receivers all 0:31:33.520 --> 0:31:37.400 season long. They're actually especially deep at receiver, but with 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:41.160 Mario Christaball at the helm, they were especially run heavy, 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:43.080 like they just wanted to squeeze the life out of 0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:46.960 teams and sort of be a winning python. And now 0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.280 Anthony Brown, even with the sort of down moments he 0:31:50.320 --> 0:31:52.920 had in the first half, especially that second quarter, I 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:56.120 only came out like, screw at Oklahoma's defense, isn't that great? 0:31:56.160 --> 0:31:58.200 Why can't we score a bunch of points? And whether 0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:01.120 it was Dante Thornton, Troy Franklin, Chris Hudson, like this 0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:04.760 is a really interesting strong receiving corps moving forward into 0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.520 the Dan Lanning era, especially if they can get something 0:32:07.560 --> 0:32:10.280 out of I don't know, Bo Nix or Ty Thompson, whoever, 0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:12.880 ends up starting at quarterback for Oregon moving forward. But 0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:15.360 good to see some fight, good to see some yards 0:32:15.400 --> 0:32:18.400 and some action in an otherwise dreary back and forth 0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:20.120 of the first half with it just going one way 0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:23.400 with Oklahoma. And good for Caleb Williams for making plays 0:32:23.440 --> 0:32:25.760 after he kind of slowed down in the back half 0:32:25.800 --> 0:32:28.800 of the season after a kind of electrifying start. Good 0:32:28.880 --> 0:32:31.600 for this Oklahoma offense with all the changes they've been 0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:35.040 going through. Bunch of speed, bunch of playmakers. Easy to 0:32:35.040 --> 0:32:37.320 look at this game and say, my man, Travis Die 0:32:37.320 --> 0:32:39.880 averaged eight and a half yards of carry and they lost, 0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:42.320 And then you look at what Kennedy Brooks and Eric 0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:43.800 Gray were able to do, like, oh, ten and a 0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:48.080 half yards each. Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So awesome way 0:32:48.080 --> 0:32:50.719 to close out the year for Oklahoma. Some ups and downs, 0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:53.280 and at least nice to see some fight from the 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:56.240 Oregon offense given the status. I think I saw something 0:32:56.320 --> 0:33:00.560 like thirty five scholarship players that started the season for 0:33:00.640 --> 0:33:03.800 Oregon were not involved in this game, So you know, 0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.360 it's a tough job. But that's college football these days. 0:33:06.360 --> 0:33:08.360 And tip of the cap to Oklahoma. 0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:10.240 At one point in time, I was wondering, can they 0:33:10.280 --> 0:33:13.640 just rehire Bob Stoops? Is it too too late to 0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:19.560 just bring a touchdown? Yeah? He looked like he never left. Okay, Yeah, 0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.400 big win for Oklahoma. Nice win for them by fifteen 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.120 over the Oregon Ducks. Let's go to the cheese at 0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:32.520 bowl Man. What a glorious bowl game Above all else. 0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:34.880 It was sort of a microcosm for both these teams, 0:33:35.000 --> 0:33:36.440 wasn't it? 0:33:36.440 --> 0:33:39.200 It absolutely was. Wasn't it the twenties plenty? 0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:39.560 What was that? 0:33:39.680 --> 0:33:44.000 My line for Clemson more than twenty against Clemson comes 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:46.280 back twenty to thirteen? 0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:51.400 Was the final score here? So a couple weird moments 0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:53.120 in this game that I need to call out, A 0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:57.440 couple weird plays. The first was one of those deals 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.600 I think in the early part of the second half 0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:03.400 where Dju is about to get sacked. 0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:04.440 He's running for his life. 0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.200 He wants to throw it out of bounds, but he 0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:09.600 doesn't quite have enough oomph and so inadvertently it goes 0:34:09.640 --> 0:34:13.520 into quadruple coverage. That can happens to the best of us, 0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:17.120 and somehow his guy comes down with it. That was 0:34:17.160 --> 0:34:20.239 the first of like just kind of weird moments. Then 0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:26.000 Brock Purty happened. Brock Purty was on full display here 0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:29.120 in this Bowl game. I have never seen anything quite 0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:33.040 like this wild moment. Later in the second half, brock 0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:34.840 Purty as a pass tipped back. 0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:35.399 To him at the line. 0:34:35.400 --> 0:34:38.360 So you've seen this before where Lyman puts his hands up, 0:34:38.400 --> 0:34:40.480 it bounces back to the quarterback to either catch it 0:34:40.520 --> 0:34:42.279 and run with it. I think they're told to try 0:34:42.320 --> 0:34:42.920 and bat it down. 0:34:42.960 --> 0:34:43.439 If they can't. 0:34:44.280 --> 0:34:48.080 Rock Perty can only throw one forward pass per play, right, 0:34:48.200 --> 0:34:50.840 so you can only attempt one forward pass play. Yeah, 0:34:50.880 --> 0:34:53.239 So brock Purty tries the volleyball thing where he tries 0:34:53.280 --> 0:34:57.040 to bat it down, except he bats it right to 0:34:57.120 --> 0:35:02.440 Mario good Rich or Clemson, who catches it and runs 0:35:02.520 --> 0:35:04.399 eighteen yards for a pick six to make it twenty 0:35:04.480 --> 0:35:07.360 to six in the second half. I've never seen that before. 0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:09.320 Was it rule to pick six or a fumble? 0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:10.640 Uh? 0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:13.400 I think a pick six? Oh? 0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:18.840 All right, okay, either way, touchdown Mario Goodrich the senior 0:35:18.880 --> 0:35:23.040 good way for him to go out. And then later 0:35:23.080 --> 0:35:26.920 on in the game, Rock Purty regroups threw a touchdown 0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:30.120 past the chas Cohler made it twenty to thirteen. Iowa 0:35:30.200 --> 0:35:31.960 State it has a shot back to get back in 0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:35.759 this thing. It's fourth and two. He runs for a 0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:39.840 first down, scrambles for first down, nice play, gets past 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:42.319 the chains and has the ball knocked out of his 0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:46.960 hand and backwards. Oh yeah, he jumps on and he 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:50.759 recovers it. But because the ball had left his possession, 0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:55.839 because he re established possession short of the chains, it's 0:35:55.840 --> 0:35:59.279 a turnover on talent. Clems against the ball. They end 0:35:59.360 --> 0:36:02.000 up winning, and in the end it's Dabbo who gets 0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.080 the big barrel of cheese. It's stumped over his head, which, 0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:05.759 by the way, should not be undersold because that was 0:36:05.760 --> 0:36:11.239 freaking awesome. Clemson wins weird game twenty to thirteen. I 0:36:11.320 --> 0:36:13.479 did see somebody on Twitter trying to make the case 0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.080 that the Cheese At Bowl should be a New Year 0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.600 six game. I'd be fine with that, Dan, I'm told, 0:36:17.800 --> 0:36:20.560 first of all, I learned so much during this game, 0:36:20.880 --> 0:36:22.880 and there was so much that I had already learned. 0:36:23.080 --> 0:36:27.719 It was just, you know, a weird game, and that 0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.759 last play kind of sums up a lot of the 0:36:30.800 --> 0:36:32.160 Iowa State experience. 0:36:32.239 --> 0:36:34.279 Maybe this year. Maybe it's unfair to say the whole 0:36:34.280 --> 0:36:37.719 Brock Party experience, because there were some absolute highs, but 0:36:38.680 --> 0:36:43.080 uniquely losing after looking like something good was going to 0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:49.320 happen kind of is a microcosm for the broader Iowa 0:36:49.360 --> 0:36:51.359 State story. There is that have you ever seen that 0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:56.920 mixtape of the like electrical wiring YouTuber And there is 0:36:56.960 --> 0:37:02.400 like a compilation of him just confidently getting shocked. Oh yeah, 0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:04.040 where he's just like and all you have to do 0:37:04.320 --> 0:37:07.440 is when you remove the circuits and he's like, Ah. 0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:08.040 There is. 0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.279 If you wanted to come up with a like a 0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:17.680 compilation video to describe some of where Iowa State has 0:37:17.760 --> 0:37:21.840 been recently, it would be intersplicing Iowa State moments with 0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:24.400 the like and be careful you don't plug it. 0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.800 There is that. There is that part of. 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:30.799 The cyclone football experience that. 0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:36.120 Feels very real, absolutely all right? Yeah, and what else 0:37:36.120 --> 0:37:37.840 do we got here? I think we have one more game, 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:45.040 the New era Pinstripe Bowl between Maryland and Virginia Tech. 0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:47.839 Yeah, I got this one wrong. I called Maryland an 0:37:47.840 --> 0:37:50.840 elite loser, maybe one too many times for the universe's liking. 0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:55.640 Fifty four to ten is your final. Maryland wins this one. 0:37:55.680 --> 0:38:00.359 It was a runaway train. Tech got it to one 0:38:00.400 --> 0:38:04.880 to ten shortly before half, but Marylynd ripped off thirty 0:38:04.920 --> 0:38:08.040 three unanswered to close it. Tech did not give a 0:38:08.080 --> 0:38:10.960 flying you know what about this game. They were they 0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:13.040 might have been the one two three Cancun team of 0:38:13.040 --> 0:38:16.439 Bowl season, Dan, they were yep, totally checked out here. 0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:20.520 Yeah, Virginia Tech started because Braxton Burmeister entered the portal. 0:38:20.800 --> 0:38:22.720 Connor Blumrick is that correct? 0:38:22.960 --> 0:38:23.800 Yes? Correct? 0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:29.239 An all time computer generated recruiting name that I don't 0:38:29.280 --> 0:38:31.359 fully believe is a real person until I see with 0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:35.000 my own eyes. I apologies to the Blumrick family, but 0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:38.040 that that was the the energy I got from watching 0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:42.040 Virginia Tech's offense for the limited time that I did, and. 0:38:41.960 --> 0:38:44.160 That does it. At time of recording, we've got the 0:38:44.239 --> 0:38:47.560 Duke's Mayo Bowl in progress. It looks like Shane Biember 0:38:47.680 --> 0:38:50.520 is going to get the big vat of Duke's Mayo 0:38:50.600 --> 0:38:53.439 dumped on him. They're up thirty five to twenty one 0:38:54.680 --> 0:38:58.240 late into the fourth quarter. I like these live updates 0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:04.840 for a record show. Yeah that people are waiting for 0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:08.200 our recap of the game to fully understand what happened 0:39:08.200 --> 0:39:12.120 in it. Yeah, I mean, it's all things considered, we 0:39:12.239 --> 0:39:14.720 just got to make the best of a very strange 0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:19.000 Bowl season and having mayonnaise dumped on a coach, or 0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:22.040 fries or cheese. It's I learned that extra toasty cheese 0:39:22.040 --> 0:39:26.200 its are one of the varieties available. Oh really, Yeah, yeah, 0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:30.799 I think that's good. I like most items on the 0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:35.600 well done side, not steak, not not meat necessarily, but 0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:38.280 and not to a gym nance level. 0:39:38.560 --> 0:39:42.360 Let's be clear. The toast, Yeah, French French fries and toasts, 0:39:42.600 --> 0:39:45.680 and I like actually like my eggs over easy, but cookies, 0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.240 like a good crispy cookie. So that we have extra 0:39:48.280 --> 0:39:51.600 toasty cheese it's available, I'm with So yeah, I guess 0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.640 good for Shane Biemer if that comes to pass. Did 0:39:54.640 --> 0:39:56.239 you want to do it? Do you have Are you 0:39:56.280 --> 0:39:58.960 a believer in New Year's resolutions? And do you have 0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:02.680 any resolutions in addition to any of the resolutions our 0:40:02.719 --> 0:40:04.240 listeners have given for their teams. 0:40:04.520 --> 0:40:06.040 I believe in New Year's resolutions? 0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.560 Yeah, same, so do I I think it's I think 0:40:09.600 --> 0:40:11.600 it's a good way to start off the year. I 0:40:11.600 --> 0:40:13.640 think it's it's good to have some goals going into 0:40:13.680 --> 0:40:18.160 the new year. Yeah, oh of course. But my problem 0:40:18.239 --> 0:40:21.520 is that most of my New Year's resolutions are pretty boring, 0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:24.640 you know that's okay. We put out a call here 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.760 on Twitter asking folks what are your New Year's resolutions? 0:40:28.840 --> 0:40:31.480 And some folks want to run a marathon or a 0:40:31.560 --> 0:40:35.960 thousand miles, devote more energy to the diet or physical fitness, 0:40:36.000 --> 0:40:38.440 that type of thing. I think that's common. I'm I'm 0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:40.359 with you. I don't want to run a thousand miles. 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:41.000 I hate running. 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.600 But as for getting back in shape and doing more 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:48.840 physical activity, it's not lost on anybody that I sit. 0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:50.439 In front of a microphone most of mine. 0:40:50.480 --> 0:40:52.520 Have you Have you come up with anything any option? 0:40:52.640 --> 0:40:54.800 Are you going to get involved with like a rower? 0:40:54.960 --> 0:40:57.160 Are you going to do more strength training? Are you 0:40:57.200 --> 0:41:00.839 going to play in like some kind like a kickball league? 0:41:00.840 --> 0:41:02.560 What are you going to do? I haven't decided yet. 0:41:02.920 --> 0:41:05.960 It's it's still an open question, but I am actively 0:41:06.000 --> 0:41:07.600 looking for solutions on that front. 0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:10.080 You get them, well, look, you could get one of those. 0:41:11.200 --> 0:41:13.520 Were they ever a sponsor for US Peloton? Not a 0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:14.319 sponsor of this show? 0:41:14.360 --> 0:41:18.600 For sure? They they're ay, they may have sponsored this show, 0:41:18.600 --> 0:41:19.520 and I have looked into it. 0:41:19.600 --> 0:41:23.160 Yeah, there are leaderboards right there are there is like 0:41:23.239 --> 0:41:26.320 a competitive element and you could compete against your friends. 0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:29.160 I know there's a college football media group that rides 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:33.359 together in classes. So if you want to take down 0:41:33.440 --> 0:41:37.120 Cole Kublick or Jeff Schwartz or anybody Mike Golick junior, 0:41:37.120 --> 0:41:40.480 whatever you can, ty, I might have to do it 0:41:40.640 --> 0:41:41.399 just for that. 0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:43.840 Yeah. I was not aware of this group. 0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:46.960 Yeah, yeah, there's a group of guys. I'll introduce you. 0:41:47.239 --> 0:41:49.759 I don't do it, but you could definitely. You know, 0:41:49.840 --> 0:41:53.920 I haven't a ard a problem with competition. You know, 0:41:53.719 --> 0:41:56.880 you have a wet field, you have shoulder issues, so 0:41:56.880 --> 0:41:57.880 that's not a problem. 0:41:58.080 --> 0:41:59.960 Yeah, I don't know. 0:42:00.120 --> 0:42:00.319 I was. 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:05.719 You've got a connectivity, a digital subscription component. 0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:07.520 I don't know time. I might have to do it 0:42:07.600 --> 0:42:08.560 solely for content. 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:10.120 Yeah, why not? 0:42:10.440 --> 0:42:13.359 That is the life now anyway. Yeah, I think that's 0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:16.120 one of the big ones for me, just on the 0:42:16.160 --> 0:42:19.680 personal level. I also want to jump back in on 0:42:19.719 --> 0:42:24.840 the cooking front, and not to the listen listen, not 0:42:25.000 --> 0:42:30.600 to the extent of you knuckleheads who are really into 0:42:30.680 --> 0:42:35.120 it and obsessing over each and every spice. I admire 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:38.520 that quality, I very much do. I just don't think 0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:40.440 I can keep pace with that because I'm a little 0:42:40.480 --> 0:42:41.160 too impatient. 0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:43.439 I need to think you need mastery. I think that's 0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:47.000 the like you're a dork about researching and experimenting. It 0:42:47.040 --> 0:42:49.480 doesn't have to be pizza. It doesn't have to be barbecue. 0:42:49.680 --> 0:42:51.319 It could be you could just be like, I'm going 0:42:51.360 --> 0:42:54.840 to become the soup king of Eastern Pa and I 0:42:54.920 --> 0:42:57.080 just want to master a bunch or the salad dressing 0:42:57.160 --> 0:43:00.840 king or the Macadamian nut cookie king. I don't know 0:43:00.880 --> 0:43:03.760 what it is. See, I really think you need mastery 0:43:03.760 --> 0:43:04.239 in your life. 0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:09.319 I've mastered the omelet right, and now I've mastered it 0:43:09.320 --> 0:43:11.319 to the point where I've gotten bored of it and 0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:14.279 have actually stopped eating them, and so I need to 0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:15.560 try and find what's next. 0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:18.319 You had homemade pizza a few weeks ago, and you 0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:20.520 said this, I can see why people get into this. 0:43:20.960 --> 0:43:22.439 I can't, but pizza is your thing. 0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:26.520 It doesn't matter. We can pivot as a duo. 0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:30.640 I don't I need it. I'm open to making my 0:43:30.640 --> 0:43:33.359 own pizza, but I feel like I need to find something. 0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:35.920 I need to carve out my corner of the universe. 0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:39.520 What about pasta? Handmade pasta? 0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:41.400 Too many carbs? 0:43:43.200 --> 0:43:45.600 Okay, I don't know, if you do the peloton, it's 0:43:45.640 --> 0:43:48.160 not if you combine. If we combine, that's not a 0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:51.399 bad idea. Yeah, I don't know, how about you. I 0:43:51.480 --> 0:43:55.000 just want to be better about scheduling and procrastinating and 0:43:55.840 --> 0:43:58.080 just making sure like I do things a certain number 0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:00.200 of days a week and I check things off off 0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.600 making lists. I want to be more organized in the 0:44:02.600 --> 0:44:04.919 way I spend my time, whether it's working out, whether 0:44:04.960 --> 0:44:07.440 it's cooking, whether it's stuff with the kiddos. I just 0:44:07.480 --> 0:44:09.359 want to, like, I want to lock in a little 0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:11.680 bit better, and I want to I want to explore more. 0:44:12.280 --> 0:44:15.440 I guess I don't know micro accomplishments, curiosities. Like I 0:44:15.440 --> 0:44:18.480 was just like, you know what, I think language is interesting. 0:44:18.560 --> 0:44:22.080 I always like learning language and words and everything, grammar 0:44:22.120 --> 0:44:25.200 and tenses, whatever, And so I just downloaded an app 0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:26.600 and I was like, I'm going to take five minutes 0:44:26.600 --> 0:44:29.719 a day and learn more French. And it's awesome. It's 0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:32.840 just something that's uniquely my activity. It has nothing to 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:36.120 do with my job or my family or my house whatever. 0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:38.200 It's just something new. And so I try to do 0:44:38.239 --> 0:44:40.200 crossword puzzles sometimes. I try to do that. I've been 0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:43.279 playing a lot of tennis, and that's been awesome. More 0:44:43.320 --> 0:44:46.600 strength training involved, I would say in my workouts would 0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:48.680 be nice. I want to eat a lot less sugar, 0:44:49.200 --> 0:44:52.160 but otherwise nothing too new. I just want to stick 0:44:52.200 --> 0:44:55.560 to stuff more often. You know, I should be reading 0:44:55.600 --> 0:44:57.719 thirty pages a night or something like that. I thought 0:44:57.800 --> 0:45:00.720 Nicole Auerback read fifty two books in twenty twenty. 0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:01.839 Oh there's no way. 0:45:02.600 --> 0:45:05.239 Yeah, I mean she, I believe her. I'm just saying 0:45:05.239 --> 0:45:06.400 there's no way I could ever do that. 0:45:06.520 --> 0:45:09.200 No, she logged and locked it all in. It's true. 0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:12.440 But to me, that's what I want to do. I 0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:16.520 want to be more locked in with scheduling and experimenting 0:45:16.560 --> 0:45:20.200 with things I'm curious about, be it cooking, reading, activities, whatever. 0:45:20.239 --> 0:45:22.279 I want to try new stuff as often as I can. 0:45:23.719 --> 0:45:25.400 All right, So what we did is we put a 0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:28.919 call out, yeah to the verballer hood, and I read 0:45:28.960 --> 0:45:31.719 off some of the personal goals. But here are some 0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:35.920 of the team I'm resolutions. Right, make a New Year's 0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:40.440 resolution on behalf of your favorite team. Jordan, who was 0:45:40.480 --> 0:45:44.279 the gentleman who wrote Run one Thousand Miles, says that 0:45:44.560 --> 0:45:48.680 he has the same hope for BYU. Actually, yeah, he 0:45:48.920 --> 0:45:51.080 was a round one thousand miles, so that's cool. Will 0:45:51.800 --> 0:45:55.960 says that for Clemson, the resolution should be to adapt 0:45:56.040 --> 0:46:04.000 their recruiting strategy and to embrace the current environment. Use 0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:08.879 the portal, use nil, use things like that better. Well 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:09.279 they did that. 0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:11.480 I mean dju is in a doctor Pepper commercial, so 0:46:11.520 --> 0:46:13.480 there was you know, it's not like Dabbo is like 0:46:13.520 --> 0:46:15.640 this is ruining everything. I'm not letting my players do it. 0:46:15.680 --> 0:46:16.600 They did have some of that. 0:46:17.200 --> 0:46:19.879 But the transfer portal is interesting on the Clemson front, 0:46:19.920 --> 0:46:20.279 isn't it. 0:46:21.400 --> 0:46:22.960 Oh yeah, I think just the big thing is just 0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:27.880 make Dabbo less stubborn. That's the resolution. It's just like adapt, 0:46:28.320 --> 0:46:31.279 look outside the program when need be. I mean, both 0:46:31.320 --> 0:46:34.680 the coordinators were internal hires, and you know, Clemson has 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:37.800 been at its best when Dabbo has had the stones 0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:41.399 to shake things up. So I don't think that's an 0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:43.560 unrealistic one, but it might be more of a long 0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:44.960 term than a twenty twenty one to one. 0:46:45.360 --> 0:46:47.640 It does seem like he's having trouble with the transfer 0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:51.240 portal though, because we had now we know he's taken 0:46:52.239 --> 0:46:57.319 a pretty contentious stance against it in recent years, and 0:46:58.000 --> 0:47:02.680 there was some commentary from him on signing day about 0:47:02.680 --> 0:47:10.680 how there are adults that are manipulative and maybe not 0:47:10.920 --> 0:47:14.919 having transfer his best interests at heart when it comes 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:17.200 to all things transfer portal. So it seems like it's 0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:21.439 been an ongoing process for him to not only process 0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:24.319 the transfer portal but come to grips with it and 0:47:24.400 --> 0:47:29.239 understand it and want to use it on behalf of Clemson. Eventually, 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.400 he's going to get there. Eventually, he's gonna get there. 0:47:32.440 --> 0:47:34.000 He's going to have to get there if he wants 0:47:34.080 --> 0:47:36.360 to compete and if he wants to evolve with some 0:47:36.400 --> 0:47:39.520 of the other teams around college football. But and we'll 0:47:39.560 --> 0:47:42.440 probably see that sooner than later. It does seem though, 0:47:42.480 --> 0:47:44.120 like he's having a really hard time with it. 0:47:45.560 --> 0:47:49.439 Yeah, I mean, it's basically are you going to participate 0:47:49.800 --> 0:47:53.880 in judo or not? And Clemson's in a unique position 0:47:53.960 --> 0:47:56.800 where they can use the transfer portal to their advantage 0:47:56.800 --> 0:48:01.560 instead of scrambling to phill holes, they can and attract 0:48:01.719 --> 0:48:04.600 huge names to an amazing program, much in the way 0:48:04.600 --> 0:48:07.880 that Alabama, Ohio, State, Oklahoma schools like that have been 0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:10.920 able to do the judo references. Because I believe as 0:48:10.920 --> 0:48:14.320 a non expert judo is heavily involved in using people's 0:48:14.360 --> 0:48:18.279 actions against them, right, going with the flow of the 0:48:18.719 --> 0:48:22.160 combat and to use your your opponent's actions against them. 0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:25.279 And I think that's a good resolution. I think that's 0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:26.359 that's worthwhile for. 0:48:26.320 --> 0:48:31.759 Sure for Josh. He says, for Penn State, I'd like 0:48:31.840 --> 0:48:35.040 to have a running back eclipse one hundred yards rushing 0:48:35.080 --> 0:48:41.600 at least once at least once, and secondarily, watch tape 0:48:41.640 --> 0:48:46.279 of good offensive lines. So Josh zeroing in on some 0:48:46.360 --> 0:48:50.680 of Penn state struggles upfront this year with the rushing game. 0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.719 I know, I'm not sure how much of the rushing 0:48:53.880 --> 0:48:56.160 issue at Penn State was due to the offensive line 0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.239 or if it was schematic, But I think we can 0:48:59.239 --> 0:49:02.879 agree broadly, Josh that having a resolution that Penn State 0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:06.000 get better, get more balanced on that offensive line and 0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:09.520 with the rushing attack, that would be nice. It would 0:49:09.560 --> 0:49:11.719 take some of the heat off of Sean Clifford, who's 0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:16.200 coming back for year seventeen in twenty twenty two, and 0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:19.240 definitely make the offense tougher to defense. 0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:21.879 Yeah, I looked at Penn State and I said, Okay, look, 0:49:21.920 --> 0:49:24.320 the running backs are obviously talented. There are guys that 0:49:24.360 --> 0:49:26.919 are decent along the offensive line, and they protected Shan 0:49:26.960 --> 0:49:29.680 Clifford relatively well. They just didn't open up a ton 0:49:29.760 --> 0:49:33.080 of lanes. I think it's probably a holistic type thing 0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:36.160 that it's a little bit of everything. And if Penn 0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:38.399 State were passing it as much as they were and 0:49:38.800 --> 0:49:41.360 finished as like a top thirty offense in the country, 0:49:41.760 --> 0:49:43.919 I don't think anybody would really care about balance because 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:46.680 they're probably winning more games with the top thirty offense. 0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:49.680 They're probably beating Michigan in Illinois, and we're not having 0:49:49.719 --> 0:49:52.160 in Michigan State at the end of the year. We're 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:56.040 not having this conversation. So I get the running thing 0:49:56.040 --> 0:49:58.040 and the frustrating thing, and it's probably better in short 0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.319 yarded situations to have that at least option to go to. 0:50:01.960 --> 0:50:05.520 But yeah, Penn State just kind of seemed off this year, 0:50:05.920 --> 0:50:08.600 and which is I know it's it's it kind of 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:11.759 sucks because that defense was really strong at times. And 0:50:12.440 --> 0:50:14.000 I don't know if I don't know if it's any 0:50:14.200 --> 0:50:18.160 specific one person's fault, but I think it's it should 0:50:18.200 --> 0:50:19.919 be back to the drawing board for Penn State. 0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:21.360 I agree. 0:50:21.400 --> 0:50:27.240 Okay, John whose team is Auburn, He says Auburn needs 0:50:27.280 --> 0:50:30.360 to be developing just average quarterback play for next season. 0:50:31.880 --> 0:50:37.040 Yeah, it's it's been a minute since an Auburn quarterback 0:50:37.080 --> 0:50:39.960 has really captured our attention for a full seat, Like 0:50:40.120 --> 0:50:44.560 I guess the best of Jarrett Stidham, right right, probably, 0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:49.920 And even then there were games that were really confounding. 0:50:50.040 --> 0:50:53.160 I guess to be nice during that era of Auburn's 0:50:53.160 --> 0:50:55.839 offense and the shuffling of the offensive coordinators every year 0:50:55.840 --> 0:50:58.120 and his gust calling the plays is game planning? Was 0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:00.560 he not calling plays? Why did they slow down in 0:51:00.560 --> 0:51:04.000 the second half? Why are they becoming so predictable? And so, Yeah, 0:51:04.040 --> 0:51:06.160 it's a new era, a new coach, a new now 0:51:06.239 --> 0:51:09.160 new offensive coordinator. You know, receiver has not been as 0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:11.759 exciting as it has been this past I don't know, 0:51:11.880 --> 0:51:14.600 six seven, eight years at times with the current roster 0:51:15.000 --> 0:51:17.279 being where it was being where it is, but still 0:51:17.320 --> 0:51:20.400 there's talented running back. I don't know. I'm okay with 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:23.640 with this as a request for Auburn football, and I'm 0:51:23.680 --> 0:51:26.279 okay with thinking I think it can get better. I 0:51:26.320 --> 0:51:28.680 absolutely think it can get better with a full off 0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:33.520 season of Brian harsonball. I'm even if he doesn't seem 0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:36.000 like he fully wants to be there. At times, I 0:51:36.000 --> 0:51:37.960 think this is I think it is a totally fairy quest. 0:51:38.800 --> 0:51:40.160 Yeah, it has been a minute. You got to go 0:51:40.200 --> 0:51:42.960 back to like Nick Marshall outside Jaredy. 0:51:43.120 --> 0:51:45.040 I mean again, the best of Jared's Didham was was 0:51:45.080 --> 0:51:45.640 really fun. 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:47.000 Yeah all right. 0:51:48.280 --> 0:51:53.080 Rev writes in to say that his team's twenty twenty 0:51:53.080 --> 0:51:55.879 two New Year's resolution, his team, by the ways, Northwestern, 0:51:56.000 --> 0:52:00.440 oh oh, just become fun to watch again and do 0:52:00.520 --> 0:52:03.279 that either by fixing the defense or doing anything fun 0:52:04.080 --> 0:52:04.720 on offense. 0:52:04.760 --> 0:52:07.720 Northwestern was a rough watch this year. Dan rougher than usual. 0:52:09.200 --> 0:52:10.839 I don't care who it is. I don't care if 0:52:10.880 --> 0:52:15.799 it's Northwestern or Stanford or Vanderbilt, but I don't want 0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:20.040 all of these sort of academic reputation first type schools. 0:52:20.040 --> 0:52:22.000 I know there are other schools that have good academics 0:52:22.239 --> 0:52:28.040 that win football games, Notre Dame, USC somewhat, the cal UCLA, whatever, 0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:31.160 But man, I want one of these teams to be 0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:35.799 just like sneaky interesting with talent that's not on par 0:52:35.920 --> 0:52:38.520 with some of their opponents. And Northwestern was that team 0:52:38.920 --> 0:52:41.400 that they were. You know, Rashaun Slater's a great offensive lineman. 0:52:41.400 --> 0:52:43.919 They get players drafted. They feel these like top five 0:52:44.040 --> 0:52:47.920 national defenses, top ten national defenses, but when they're off, 0:52:48.200 --> 0:52:52.160 it's fully unwatched. Any of these teams fully unwatchable, And 0:52:52.239 --> 0:52:55.000 so I think he's right for Northwestern. I don't know 0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:57.239 if I don't know if Northwestern is more fun with 0:52:57.360 --> 0:53:00.960 a below average offense and a killer defense, or when 0:53:00.960 --> 0:53:02.640 you go back twenty years and they're one of the 0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:05.840 pioneers with like the spread option, zone read stuff with 0:53:05.960 --> 0:53:08.560 Randy Walker, I don't know if that's a more fun 0:53:08.680 --> 0:53:11.560 version of one of these schools winning with lesser talent. 0:53:12.080 --> 0:53:16.359 But I man, I just I can't take another two 0:53:16.440 --> 0:53:19.000 to ten year from all of these places at the 0:53:19.000 --> 0:53:20.560 same time. Oh, I hate it. 0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:25.560 It's tough. By the way, Rev's personal resolution, write something 0:53:25.680 --> 0:53:28.640 purely for me, like journaling or for fun at least 0:53:28.719 --> 0:53:31.319 four times a week smart, which is nice. I like that. 0:53:31.520 --> 0:53:34.040 And by the way, John whose team is Auburn, who 0:53:34.040 --> 0:53:37.680 I mentioned, I forgot to call out his New Year's resolution, 0:53:37.760 --> 0:53:40.560 which I thought was good. Do a better job of 0:53:40.760 --> 0:53:44.879 separating work and personal time. Focus entirely on work when 0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:47.480 I'm working, and don't let work distract me or prevent 0:53:47.520 --> 0:53:50.320 me from family time. Important I think there's an Apple 0:53:50.400 --> 0:53:55.040 TV Plus show about this, is there not? I'm almost 0:53:55.040 --> 0:53:59.239 positive with Scott. With Adam Scott not a sponsor could be. 0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:03.160 And it's a show similar to like the Eternal Sunshine 0:54:03.880 --> 0:54:09.120 way of storytelling, where you have some sort of surgery 0:54:09.280 --> 0:54:13.360 or operation in which your work life is completely erased 0:54:13.360 --> 0:54:15.920 when you're home, and your home life is completely erased 0:54:15.920 --> 0:54:18.680 when you're at work because I think they're working on 0:54:18.760 --> 0:54:22.000 highly sensitive stuff or something. But that's a show, if 0:54:22.040 --> 0:54:26.000 I've summarized it in a suggesting Adam Scott personally sponsored 0:54:26.000 --> 0:54:26.640 the show. 0:54:28.000 --> 0:54:30.359 This show, of course, he's terrific and everything he does. 0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:31.759 I'd be fully on board with that. 0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:36.680 All right, Tom. Tom's resolution for Michigan is just that 0:54:36.719 --> 0:54:42.920 they beat Ohio State again. I think that's a good one. Yeah. 0:54:43.000 --> 0:54:45.880 I would say if I were to come up with 0:54:45.880 --> 0:54:51.799 a resolution for Michigan, I would want what would I want? 0:54:52.000 --> 0:54:56.520 I would I would want a quarterback beyond a game manager, 0:54:56.880 --> 0:54:58.960 which is where I feel like they've been for some 0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:01.440 time right now, where they just like they have one 0:55:01.440 --> 0:55:04.200 of the best six quarterbacks in the country. That's what 0:55:04.239 --> 0:55:05.799 I want. That's where I would be selfish as a 0:55:05.800 --> 0:55:09.080 Michigan fans like, it's our turn. It's our turn to 0:55:09.239 --> 0:55:11.719 get that guy. Yeah, that's what I would want. I 0:55:11.719 --> 0:55:12.919 don't think that's asking too much. 0:55:13.480 --> 0:55:16.000 No, if I were to make a resolution for my 0:55:16.160 --> 0:55:21.520 team for Notre Dame, it wouldn't be all that different. Honestly, 0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:25.480 it would be start Tyler Buckner best. You're just ready, 0:55:25.480 --> 0:55:27.799 you're all in, all the center, I'm all in. Okay, 0:55:28.239 --> 0:55:31.759 I'm all in. Start Tyler Buckner unless you've got a 0:55:32.400 --> 0:55:37.839 huge transfer quarterback in the bag. Mm hmm. Let's go 0:55:37.960 --> 0:55:41.759 to Tyler Buckner and let's see what he's got, what 0:55:41.920 --> 0:55:44.360 he can provide, and if he's not the guy, move on, 0:55:45.320 --> 0:55:47.399 work the transfer. See if you can get somebody else. 0:55:47.480 --> 0:55:49.960 But I'm just dying to know what they've got with 0:55:50.000 --> 0:55:52.440 Tyler Buckner. That would be my resolution for Notre Dame, 0:55:52.480 --> 0:55:53.160 plain and simple. 0:55:54.280 --> 0:55:57.520 And we have the double tie offense with Notre Dame 0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.839 in Oregon. At the same time, if ty Thompson beats 0:55:59.840 --> 0:56:02.480 out bo Nicks and it's just electric, that's, you know, 0:56:02.520 --> 0:56:05.160 the year of tie. Who knows what's happening in your life? 0:56:05.239 --> 0:56:08.439 What do you want for Oregon offense? A passing game? 0:56:09.680 --> 0:56:12.040 It's it was a rough year. This year. I think 0:56:12.040 --> 0:56:13.719 they're going to recruit well. I think the program is 0:56:13.719 --> 0:56:14.959 gonna be in a good shape. I think they're gonna 0:56:14.960 --> 0:56:16.760 win a bunch of games. I know they open with Georgia, 0:56:16.840 --> 0:56:20.880 which will be a challenge. I want a top twenty 0:56:20.960 --> 0:56:23.040 offense that's fun to watch. I talked about this when 0:56:23.080 --> 0:56:26.440 Mario Cristobal moved on to Miami. I just want I 0:56:26.440 --> 0:56:28.759 don't need as a fan Oregon to go to the 0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:32.279 playoff or to win the Pac twelve, but I want 0:56:32.280 --> 0:56:35.000 there to be creativity and fun and electricity on offense 0:56:35.080 --> 0:56:38.279 because that's what's familiar to me as an Oregon fan. 0:56:38.600 --> 0:56:40.680 Don't win every game, you don't win all the huge games, 0:56:40.760 --> 0:56:43.680 but an entertaining brand of football ten out of twelve, 0:56:43.719 --> 0:56:45.920 eleven out of twelve weeks I think would go a 0:56:45.960 --> 0:56:46.600 long way for me. 0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:51.080 On the Penn State side, I also want to see 0:56:51.120 --> 0:56:57.520 Drew a layer are our Yeah, top flight quarterback, tough 0:56:57.560 --> 0:57:01.000 light quarterback. I want to see what somebody else outside 0:57:01.040 --> 0:57:04.800 of Sean Clifford to do. Now. Look, Sean Clifford, before 0:57:04.840 --> 0:57:09.560 he got hurt, was having a better season. He was 0:57:09.600 --> 0:57:12.000 having a better season. I've been hard on Sean Clifford 0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:14.560 but he was having a better season. We talked on 0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:18.680 our show time and again it's a new Cliff, new 0:57:18.720 --> 0:57:21.560 Cliff this year. He looks different, he looks more comfortable. 0:57:22.200 --> 0:57:24.440 He got hurt in that Iowa game. He wasn't the 0:57:24.480 --> 0:57:29.720 same afterwards. I want to see if they can get 0:57:29.760 --> 0:57:32.560 more from one of these new quarterbacks if it's not 0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:35.400 going to be Clifford, right, I have never been a 0:57:35.480 --> 0:57:36.439 huge Clifford fan. 0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:37.360 He did look better. 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:40.360 I would really like to see if somebody else can 0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.360 give them more because he still has a couple plays 0:57:43.360 --> 0:57:46.040 in him each game where you leaves scratch in your head. 0:57:46.800 --> 0:57:48.360 So I'd like to see them move on and go 0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:50.280 in a different direction. But he's coming back for year 0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:53.320 eighty two and a half, so they're probably stuck with 0:57:53.400 --> 0:57:56.080 him as a starting quarterback for at least some period 0:57:56.120 --> 0:58:00.160 of time to start out next season. Maybe that'll change, 0:58:00.520 --> 0:58:01.120 but we'll see. 0:58:02.360 --> 0:58:05.040 I'm with you, you man, you are just you are 0:58:05.040 --> 0:58:07.440 like the quintessential college football fan where you're just like, 0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:09.400 I don't know, play the young guy, yeah, I don't know, 0:58:09.760 --> 0:58:12.080 play the look at these four star five stars. 0:58:12.080 --> 0:58:15.320 I would be a horrible coach, a whole horror art coach. 0:58:16.560 --> 0:58:19.960 Yeah, you're on the who sang next?
