00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty. I've heard so many players say, well,

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: I want to be happy. You want to be happy

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: for dake ado steak?

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Is that woo woom? And then and tie, welcome back

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 2: to the Solid Verbal Boys and Girls. My name is

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: Ty Hildebrand. Joining me over there in Chicago Land the

8
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: one and only Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how are you?

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm good. I am just like the season. Tie. We

10
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm building week upon week upon week. I'm getting my

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: rhythms right, I'm getting my reps. I feel wonderful. Also,

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 1: my cold brew hit particularly hard this morning.

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: You sent I would say, at least like a dozen

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: Slack messages before I even logged on today, So that's

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 2: usually a good indicator that the cold brew is doing

16
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: its thing.

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also, the washed list continues to wash over me

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: because I had a nice morning of lower back stretches.

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: Ty.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: And when you get a couple of when you jostle

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 1: the lower back to start your day, good things are ahead.

22
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 1: That's a life foundation I feel good about.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the show, boys and Girls. Solid Verbal

Speaker 2: like the show, because we do put three episodes out

30
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: per week, putting a lot of time in here as

31
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: we round the corner into a fuller college football season,

32
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: because the SEC is going to be joining up with

33
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 2: the ACC and Big twelve and some of the other

34
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 2: conferences this weekend as they get into their first week

35
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: of Actually we're going to you all of that. It

36
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: is week four here in the college football world. I

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: have not given much thought to what the name should be,

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: but back I keep coming back to the theme of

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: the SEC now joining forces, kind of like riding side

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: car helped me out here.

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: Sidecar Saturday was your your number one in reference to

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: the SEC.

43
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: Well, because the car is already moving and now they're

44
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 2: just teaming up with the moving vehicle. Hence the sidecar component.

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: I suppose it's more of things are being added, things

46
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: are being added. It's it's uh, it's what's what happens

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: when you go to like McDonald's and you supersize tie.

48
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: We had super size Saturday.

49
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 1: We had a normal size Saturday in that there were

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: games across the country. It wasn't the full size Saturday.

51
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: And it's not We're not fully there for sure. With

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: the Big Ten announcing pac twelve and Mountain West our

53
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: meeting later on in the week. We're recording this Tuesday,

54
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: they're supposed to to meet Thursday to discuss a potential

55
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: fall return. But in terms of what we've had already,

56
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: we had some Nuggies tie, we had maybe that little

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: apple Pie. But I think we're supersizing this Saturday. What

58
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: do you think I'm in?

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm in supersized Saturday. As the SEC starts to play,

60
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,120

00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,279

Speaker 1: Thank you, tickle it, tickle it? Okay news, we have bags. Wow,

83
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: you really dug deep for that, Bebb.

84
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: You mentioned it at the top, Dan, But the PAC

85
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: twelve and the MAC are both going to be meeting

86
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: on Thursday discussing possible return to football. I do think

87
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: it feels like a near certainty that this will happen

88
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: for both of those conferences. You know, Look, both were

89
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: under fire, as was the Big Ten when they came

90
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: out and made their announcements, probably much less so for

91
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: the MAC and the PAC twelve, But nonetheless you make

92
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 2: a move to try and postpone off the springtime, and yeah,

93
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: they drew the ire of many in the sports world

94
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: and political worlds and you name it. Now it seems

95
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: as if, again I'm not entirely sure what change. Perhaps

96
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: it's testing protocol, perhaps a number of other factors, but

97
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: PAC twelve MAC seems like they're going to be coming back.

98
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: We're really just waiting for more certainty around timing.

99
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it appears, especially in the case of the PAC

100
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: twelve because this doesn't fully apply with the Mountain West.

101
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: It seems with regard to the playoff and their announcement date,

102
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: that the PAC twelve is looking at either a six

103
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: or seven game schedule and all gas, no breaks, bangers

104
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: only type situation that would start either Halloween or November seventh,

105
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: and conclude December nineteenth, doing the same championship weekend or

106
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: championship slate that the Big ten is doing. One versus one,

107
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: two versus two, three versus three, and so forth. So

108
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: it looks like the PAC twelve also looking to super

109
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: duper size this season if they're able to move forward

110
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: and get some presidential consensus and we're hopeful for healthy

111
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: Mountain West football as well.

112
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: Healthy Mountain West football and the MAC too.

113
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah and the MAC. Yes, I should add the MAC

114
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: as well.

115
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: Throw them all in there, so we'll see what happens

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: as conferences look to op back in. We have seen

117
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 2: it be a bit of a mini theme that players

118
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: are doing something similar or Sean Babman, Yeah, coming back baby,

119
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 2: he has decided to opt back into the season. That's

120
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: a boost for a Minnesota offense that of course lost

121
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: its offensive coordinator to Penn State, but still has Tanner Morgan.

122
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: They were gonna lose their best receiver. Bateman figures to

123
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: be a pretty high draft pick, but he's coming back.

124
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: Dan good news for the Golden Gophers.

125
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: Good news for the Golden Gophers, good news for the

126
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: Big Ten. He is one of, if not the best

127
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: now returning receivers in the conference and very cool to

128
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: see even though his draft stock seemed promising. And I

129
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: don't fault anybody for opting out for health or draft

130
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: reasons or anything else across whatever conference, but it is

131
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: very cool to see somebody drawn back to the sport,

132
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: even if it's just to improve their draft stock. I

133
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: tend to believe the optimist in me. It's just they

134
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: miss football with their friends, their brothers, whatever, and so

135
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic for me as a football fan.

136
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: I'm ecstatic for me.

137
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic for me. I'm ecstatic for Gophers that Rashad

138
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 1: Bateman is going to add his own brand of entertainment

139
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: to the fall. So yeah, that's that's just my straight honesty.

140
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: Ty there it is.

141
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: In other news, we had Max Duggan, the TCU quarterback

142
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: who they found a heart condition, a little bit scary

143
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 2: for him. Was unclear for a while as to what

144
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: his partition, what his participation would be in this coming

145
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: football season. He has been cleared to return just in

146
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: time for the TCU opener this week against Iowa State.

147
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: It does look as this sophomore Matthew Downing is going

148
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: to get the start. He's a walk on transfer from Georgia.

149
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: I did look to see the point spread here. Does

150
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: not look like it moved drastically in favor of Iowa

151
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: State given this news. But good news for Max Duggan.

152
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: You know, anytime you hear about the heart condition, that's scary. Yeah,

153
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: he is clear to return. I'm certain we will see

154
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: him before long, but maybe not as starting quarterback in

155
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: week one.

156
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see. Gary Patterson was a little bit coy

157
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: about if there were be if there was going to

158
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: be a quarterback rotation. It's dug In, Matthew Downing, who

159
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned. They have a junior college transfer Stefan Brown

160
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 1: I believe his name is, and just said we have

161
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: packages for all three. Didn't come out with the confidence,

162
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: and I guess we can talk about more of that

163
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: specific game of like, Matthew Downing is our guy, He's

164
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: who we're counting on. And understandably Max Duggin's the returning

165
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: starter and he was just cleared. But that was the verbiage,

166
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: the language used by Gary Patterson.

167
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 2: We do have other quarterback news that we'll get through

168
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: as we actually start previewing games. Starters named at Elisu

169
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: and Alabama, and some questions around who's playing quarterback at Georgia.

170
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: We'll get into that as we dive into the preview

171
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: very quickly.

172
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: Though.

173
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: The only other news tidbit I have here is that

174
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: Hall of Famer Dion Sanders is returning to college football

175
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: as head football coach at FCS Jackson State. I guess

176
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 2: the most notable tidbit around this subject was that there

177
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: was a fake coaching announcement made earlier today around who

178
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 2: his assistance might be on social media.

179
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, or an improperly sourced or somebody relayed incorrect information.

180
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: But yes, there were reports that surfaced about Warren Sap

181
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: and Tarrell Owens and it just didn't fully add up.

182
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: I am I'm curious to see what Deon Sanders looks

183
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: like and acts like as the coach of an FCS program,

184
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: because you got to you gotta bootstrap your way to

185
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: success on the FCS level in terms of how you're

186
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: recruiting and how you're raising money, and there's a lot

187
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: to it that for a first time coach on this level,

188
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be very new and even like seeing the

189
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: names that were being like Warren Sap and Terrell Owens,

190
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: like they're moving to Jackson, Mississippi. Nothing against Jackson, Mississippi,

191
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: but it seems like they lead a pretty comfortable life

192
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: right now and that would definitely be a change. So,

193
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: uh yeah, it'll be fascinating to watch. I sort of

194
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 1: have my doubts about the longevity of a decision like this,

195
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: but you know, happy to be proven wrong, Happy to

196
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: be proven wrong. Any other news that jumped out at

197
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: you separate from what we're going to cover here in

198
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: our weekly preview. I get the Notre Dame wake Forest postponement.

199
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: Notre Name is a pretty big program. I guess we

200
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: could talk about that more, but we're not.

201
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: We've got the game.

202
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: This did not happening, So that's a bummer. I saw

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: BYU is going to not have fans in the stands

204
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: for the next couple of games because of an increase

205
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: in COVID risk in provo. So that all seems to

206
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: make sense to a dumb brain like mine. I think

207
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: that's it. I think that's it in terms of what

208
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: I have. That's non preview.

209
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: Let's do it. Let's get into the games. Damn all right.

210
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: Week four, Yeah, let's just go week quatrow Yeah, fear.

211
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how to say it in French, doesn't

212
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: really matter. We've got games, sank, Yeah, sank. We've got

213
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: games here organized by time slots. Qui quat quat as four?

214
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Thank you?

215
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: I have no problem.

216
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: So we did the last two weeks we organized by

217
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: time slot. Actually gave me a little bit of perspective

218
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: when I try to do my window of opportunity. As

219
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: you know. Of course, I never realized that this was

220
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: such a point of contention in the verballer hood.

221
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: We got like two messages. It's not that how could

222
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 1: you tie?

223
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: How could you say to take the week off?

224
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: Yeah? How could you?

225
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: Did you watch last week?

226
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I was entertained.

227
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: This week's a lot more entertaining, Dan, a lot more entertaining.

228
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: So the good news is that we have some options

229
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: for home dog of the week, really the first time

230
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: all year. The bad news is that this is a

231
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: tough week if you are looking for that window, which

232
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: is why I suggested maybe do a week early. Won't

233
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: shoot arrows at me. I'm looking out for everybody. Got

234
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: the SEC playing for the first time this week. They've

235
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: done a good job spreading out their own games over

236
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: the course of the day. I think your best bet

237
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: is going to be the afternoon games. If you need

238
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: to get out, if you want to go see cats virtually,

239
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: or you just want to go and view the front

240
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: of a cat cafe or a pet store or something

241
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 2: like that, those are cats too. Where were we when

242
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: we went to the cat cafe?

243
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: Do you remember that, Brooklyn? I think there was.

244
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: It wasn't Brooklyn. Where were we? I think it might

245
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 2: have been Austin.

246
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: A cat cafe. Oh, it's possible we went to we.

247
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Went to a I forget where we were, but now

248
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: that you mentioned cat cafe, I'm reminded of the story

249
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: where you and I decided we want to go to

250
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 2: a diner on a Sunday morning. While we were waiting

251
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 2: for our table, we went to a coffee shop next door.

252
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,719
Speaker 2: Go walking in, the guy says, hey, guys, are you

253
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: here to see some cats today?

254
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: That was in Atlanta. That was right by I think

255
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: RYA's Bluebird is where we ended up eating brunch or breakfast,

256
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: And there was a coffee shop that was very cat forward.

257
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: Are you guys here to see some cats today?

258
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: And see some cats?

259
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: Brothers very enthusiastically behind plexiglass there was just myriad cats.

260
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right, I did. I totally forgot about that,

261
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: and I felt my allergies come on just a little

262
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: bit after.

263
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, big time.

264
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

265
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: Anyway, so if you're explaining yourself, well, I'm looking at

266
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: the slate right now and it's loaded early, and there

267
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: are a couple of games late that I'm I'm particularly

268
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 2: interested in, not because I think Alabama Miszoo is going

269
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 2: to be that close, and not because I'm all that

270
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: interested in seeing Florida State Miami. I am interested in

271
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: it from a number of different perspectives. I just don't

272
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: think it's going to be close, right. I just think

273
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: the weakest of the three time slots is that mid

274
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 2: afternoon spot. I think I think we stand to see

275
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 2: more blowouts there than anywhere else.

276
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: I guess it just depends how much you want to

277
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: see Tennessee South Carolina. So it actually seems to me

278
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: like the night stuff might be where you could just

279
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: come back for the second half of the night games

280
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: and see if Miami Florida State is close, see if

281
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: that Tennessee South Carolina game is close. But I'm good

282
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: with the afternoon games. I would watch the afternoon games.

283
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: Three point thirty to eight o'clock Eastern. I think it's

284
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: your window.

285
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: See. I would love to watch Mississippi State LSU on CBS.

286
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: I'd love to watch Army Cincinnati. I'm actually thinking Oklahoma

287
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: State West Virginia depending on Spencer Sanders's situation because he's

288
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: in a boot as of today, isn't a walking boot? Yeah,

289
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: I think that could be pretty close. So you know,

290
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: what does Georgia do at quarterback? Is interesting? I don't

291
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: think Arkansas is gonna be great, but there is enough

292
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: intrigue in those mid afternoon games that I'd rather take

293
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: an extended like early dinner than i would an afternoon off.

294
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: Let's start in the early part of the day, okay,

295
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: and let's start with the SEC twelve o'clock SEC Network.

296
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: It is Kentucky on the road at Auburn. Auburn a

297
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: ten and a half point favorite. Here many are calling

298
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: it the Joey Gatewood Bowl. I don't think it's stuck yet,

299
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: has he do we have a decision yet? It has

300
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: taken so long, has August? Yeah, Joey Gatewood transfers up

301
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: from Auburn. Still waiting to receive word at least that

302
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: time of recording. I know they're expecting it to be

303
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: sometime this week, but still waiting for a word on

304
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: the waiver request, whether or not he'll be immediately eligible.

305
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: He's a big kid, plays quarterback. They've already got a

306
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: quarterback at Kentucky. But I don't think there's any question

307
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: that Mark Stoops would find a way to work him in.

308
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: There'd be a Gatewood package.

309
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: If you will, I would I would assume.

310
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, so I'm I'm on record as

311
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: of gosh. I guess a few weeks ago now when

312
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: I said that I am more interested in Kentucky than

313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 2: any other SEC East team. There's no Lynn Bowden, but

314
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: Terry Wilson Junior is back. Kentucky should be really good

315
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: along the lines. And I like taking the points here

316
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: because the opposite is kind to true for Auburn. There

317
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 2: are some real questions along that offensive line. They do

318
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: lose some artillery along the defensive line, and just going

319
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 2: off the mantra we had for the first two weeks,

320
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: here take the points. I think I take the points here.

321
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 2: If it weren't the first game of the year for

322
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 2: both teams, I would still take the points. But just

323
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: given the fact that both teams are coming in, they're

324
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: gonna be rusty. We know that Kentucky's got a lot back,

325
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: They're good along the lines, they should be good on defense.

326
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: They've got a veteran quarterback. I don't know if they

327
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 2: went out right, but ten and a half's a lot

328
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 2: of points in that scenario. So give me the Cats

329
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 2: plus the ten and a half.

330
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: It's a lot of points. I think I like the

331
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: points as well. The best thing in this game is

332
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: very obviously Auburn's defense, even with what they've lost, just

333
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,640
Speaker 1: because the track record is now pretty vast under Kevin

334
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Steele these past few years, so they've earned the benefit

335
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: of doubt more than any other unit on the field.

336
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: But Terry Wilson did when he played all of twenty eighteen,

337
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: he did play better on the road than he did

338
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: at home. And Auburn with a new offensive coordinator, as

339
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned that, basically new full time starting offensive line.

340
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: I know their center started four or five games last year,

341
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: but this is it's a new look unit, and offensively

342
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: with a new coordinator with I think at best uneven

343
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: quarterback in bo Nix as of now. I appreciate the

344
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: overall expectation that I have of Kentucky to at least

345
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: keep this one competitive for a good amount of time.

346
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: That if they lose, it's, you know, a three to

347
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: seven point weird opening week loss. I don't see Auburn

348
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: as a team ready to blow another team out, but

349
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: happy to be wrong. I'm going to take those points

350
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: as well. I'm going to take those points. That what

351
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: do you say plus ten and a half?

352
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: Ten and a half?

353
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: Appoly, give me Kentucky on the road eighteen thirteen, twenty

354
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: one twelve, something like that.

355
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, if Kentucky's gonna win this game, if

356
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: they're going to cover the spread, they're gonna have to

357
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 2: do it with defense. I have real questions about their offense,

358
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: trankly going up against Auburn's defense. I do like their line.

359
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 2: I like their ground game, what they've got coming back.

360
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 2: But who is Terry Wilson throwing to? What does he

361
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: look like after a year absent? I don't know a

362
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: lot of questions there. I do think they have the

363
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: defense to keep it close, and I think we agree.

364
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: We agree. And even last year without Terry Wills, you

365
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: know they were competitive early on, even before they went

366
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: to that Lynn Bowden junior offense. So this is a

367
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: well coached, creative, deeper than they've been team. It's hard

368
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: for me to see a Kentucky win. But if if

369
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: it's happening, it's like a thirteen to ten type weird game.

370
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna take those points.

371
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: Hi Noon, ESPN another SEC game, Dan, We're flushed with

372
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: SEC con. Yeah, we're flushed with se We see contests

373
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 2: here at high noon. Florida minus fourteen at ole Miss.

374
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: I like Florida a lot. They're my pick to win

375
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 2: the East. Their schedule about as good as you're going

376
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 2: to get when you're playing a conference slate. In the SEC,

377
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: defense is there. We know Dan Mullens got his quarterback

378
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: and Kyle Trask talked at nauseum about how Trask is

379
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 2: probably the best returning starter in the SEC. They're the

380
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: better team, but they've got Lane Kiffin on the menu.

381
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: Game is in Oxford, Dan, Are you feeling a home

382
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: dog of the week here?

383
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: I haven't even seen who's starting this game for ole Miss?

384
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: Is it John Reese Palmley or is it Matt corral.

385
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 2: I just assumed it was John Reee Plumley. I have

386
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: no idea.

387
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: The last i'd heard was that reports from Matt Corrall

388
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 1: was ahead. We'll see. I suppose I was pretty comfortable

389
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: with everything new happening in Oxford to go with Florida,

390
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: but I anticipate at least competence from the ole Miss offense.

391
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: The defense took a really nice step forward last year

392
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: under Mike McIntyre. It's in Oxford. This is, of course,

393
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: you remember two thousand and eight was the Tebow speech

394
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: game following the Florida loss to ole Miss. They've only

395
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: played once since then. I think it was twenty fifteen,

396
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: so not a matchup I feel particularly good about, given

397
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: there's no recent data between any of these players. And

398
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: then I saw what Ole Miss would be wearing that

399
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: icy blue luck the icy blue look and call me crazy,

400
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: call me superficial, huge uniform guy over there, look good,

401
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: feel good, play good, ty. I think ole Miss covers

402
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: this spread. Florida was not a team. I know they

403
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: had the Tennessee game last year, but they were not

404
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: a team who necessarily blew out average competition in the SEC.

405
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: Average competition they were. They were very good against lower

406
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: level competition. But if we are to believe that ole

407
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: Miss at least has the ceiling of being average, given

408
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: Jerry and Ealy and Elijah More on offense and how

409
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: good they looked at times, especially as they opened up

410
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: the year last year on defense against a very good

411
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: Memphis offense, I'm gonna say ole Miss hangs around. They

412
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: lose this game something like and you remember the Florida

413
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: weird start with Felipe Franks getting hurt las year against Miami,

414
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: let's call it. I don't know. Twenty seven seventeen Gators

415
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: on the road.

416
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: Are you doing home dog of the week?

417
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: I mean I try to do home dog of the

418
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: week when it's a team that I think can win

419
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: out right as a whole.

420
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: You don't think they could win. You're not comfortable.

421
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: No, I like them as a hangaround squad, though.

422
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 2: I like Florida. I think I like Florida to poll away.

423
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: It wouldn't surprise me if it were close for two

424
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: two and a half quarters. I think Florida pulls away.

425
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: They're the better team here.

426
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: The specific matchup is okay because Ole Miss was better

427
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: against I believe the pass last year than the run.

428
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: It's a different team, it's a different defense, but you'd

429
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: like to be better against the pass versus Florida, who

430
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: did struggle to move the ball on the ground last year.

431
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: By the way, this level of analysis picking Old Miss

432
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,479
Speaker 2: plus the points because of uniform is something you can

433
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: only find here on the side Moving on high nowon

434
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: acc Network, Louisville on the road at pitt Pit's about

435
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 2: a three point favorite.

436
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Dan, Why are you acting surprise. That's my question to you.

437
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: This just it feels weird to me. It feels like

438
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: a game where our friends in the desert know something

439
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: the rest of us don't.

440
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: That the best unit on the field is the Pit defense.

441
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: I was going to ask you what's the best unit

442
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 2: on the fields, offense or Pitt's defense.

443
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 1: It's Pits defense. It's Pitt's defense, especially because early on

444
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: last year, and this is more of a coach thing

445
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: than a player thing, and Pitt's missing, I mean, pretty

446
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: arguably their best player on defense in Jalen Twyman. But

447
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: what they did to UCF early last year, pitt was

448
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: not a team who lost to similar competition. I know

449
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: they'll I think Boston College at the end of the year,

450
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: but otherwise they were competitive. And the worst unit on

451
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 1: the field is they're playing against each other, right, the

452
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,479
Speaker 1: Louisville defense and the Pit offense. So I just I'm

453
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: gonna give the edge to what looks like a really

454
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: strong defense at home, not giving that many points. It

455
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: feels super trappy because we've already seen Louisville on a

456
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: quote unquote big stage, taking on Miami last week. But

457
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: it's a weird year stage wise because of the conference

458
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: is not playing. So I part of me thinks Louisville's

459
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 1: just artificially inflated at this point because their defense gives

460
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: up so much that I to take them on the

461
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: road as an underdog, I'm gonna need something. I'm gonna

462
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: need a little bit more push from that unit, and

463
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: I don't see it. So I will happily give Pitt

464
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: the edge here to win by a touchdown.

465
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: Push by the unit, got it, push by the unit.

466
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,479
Speaker 2: I like Pitt, but I'll be honest, I do not

467
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: trust Pitt.

468
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 1: That's fine.

469
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: I do not trust Pitt. This feels like the kind

470
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 2: of game where Louisville is gonna cover because Pitt misses

471
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: an extra point or they do something.

472
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, they had the two missed field goals last week

473
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: for sure or three. Yeah.

474
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: I have been all in on Louisville until last week

475
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 2: when I picked Miami outright, But I am not ready

476
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: to cash out my Louisville chips at this point in time.

477
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: I am going to take Louisville outright here. I am

478
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: not ready to give up on Malik Cunningham, and I'm

479
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: not ready to commit to the pit bit. But if

480
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 2: Pitt can emerge from this one. Then we're cooking with gas.

481
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: Then I will come here on Sunday hard in my

482
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 2: hand and I will say, please Pitt, Universe absolved me

483
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: of my sins.

484
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: Last year, Pitt. Early on in the season they had

485
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: the what it was, the ugly loss to Virginia. But

486
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: then Ohio Penn State they had a chance. At the

487
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: end of that game, UCF they beat by one, They

488
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: beat Duke, they beat the very dangerous Delaware football squad Hens.

489
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I just feel like we're there

490
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 1: needs to be a market adjustment about Louisville expectations right now.

491
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: It felt trappy. That was my first when I looked

492
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: at it felt trappy. And so then I just go

493
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: the opposite way of my generally incorrect instincts.

494
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: Second game in a row, by the way, where we're

495
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 2: talking about a baby Blue boost?

496
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: Is it baby? Is it baby Blue? I don't know

497
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: the official shade, and I can't trust you with shades either, Ty,

498
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: So I can't do much.

499
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: Here, all right, And final game here that will cover

500
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 2: in in some depth, at least in the early slot

501
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 2: one thirty FS one it's Iowa State minus three on

502
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: the road. At TCU. This is either going to be

503
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 2: a really fun game or just terrible and boring. I

504
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: kind of don't think there is any in between. It's

505
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 2: not just going to be like a decent game that

506
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 2: one team wins by eight. I think it's they're going

507
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 2: to be really close and a ton of fun, or

508
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: just stupid and defensive and wake me up when it's over.

509
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: I went on a lot of first dates with that

510
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: nearly identical mindset. It's me a great night, or it's

511
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: going to be tremendously bad. Am I crazy for wanting

512
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: to go all in on Iowa State? Yes? Only if

513
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: you watch them play.

514
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: Only if I want Louise coming off a loss. They're

515
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: going against a walk on transfer and a team playing

516
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 2: its first game. Why am I crazy?

517
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: TCU plays special teams, which is already an advantage. You're

518
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: not crazy because the Frogs lost by what twenty five

519
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: to Iowa State, and they were the cure for the

520
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: common September for the Clones. That was last year. Next year,

521
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 1: that was last year. They've lost two of three to

522
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: Iowa State, So that's that's something. Those games were both

523
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: in aims. If you remember the twenty seven team game,

524
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: TCU scored precisely zero offensive touchdowns. It was the Cavante

525
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 1: Turpin long kick return with the lone score is can

526
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: it be any different than I mean, we're talking about

527
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 1: a twenty nine point swing potentially with the spread. So

528
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: that's starting a transfer walk on at home behind a

529
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: basically new offensive line. Maybe maybe that's the reboot needed

530
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: for TCU. I call them the underfrogs, tie the under

531
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: But now hold on, Yeah.

532
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 2: You are implying that teams can't come back from a

533
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 2: big defeat one year and win the next.

534
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: I am not implying that at all, because there is

535
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: something to like about this TCU defense that we haven't

536
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: seen being the best unit on the field, because we've

537
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: seen the Iowa State defense look pretty good. We've seen

538
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: the Iowa State offense look kind of wretched. So I'm mixed.

539
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 1: I mix. I actually have TCU winning by four points

540
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: at home, because I'm going to go by my standby

541
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: of what we assume to be having not seen it,

542
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: but assume to be a pretty good defense at home

543
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: as under frogs. So I have TCU winning this one

544
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: by four. You know, walk on transfer quarterback or not.

545
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: So I'm ready.

546
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Iowa State. I don't particularly like going

547
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 2: road favorites. But by virtue of this selection, does this

548
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: mean that you do have your home dog of the

549
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 2: week in TCU.

550
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: Indeed, I do give me the Frogs.

551
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: The yokos home dog of the week.

552
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: Frog is a top sponsor. It's a tough noise to

553
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: teach a toddler the ribbit. That's a tough one.

554
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: The ours are hard.

555
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: Ours are very tough.

556
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna go Iowa State here again. Walk on

557
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 2: transfer doesn't have a great ring to it. Of course

558
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: I say that, and I'll bring Max Duggan in second drive.

559
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, obviously go Iowa State.

560
00:29:59,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 2: Yep.

561
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: All right.

562
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 2: To round out the other four games here that I've

563
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: got listed in the twelve o'clock hour, we got some

564
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 2: action in the big twelve K State at Oklahoma Oklahoma

565
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 2: twenty eight and a half point favorite. We've got Texas

566
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: on the road at eighteen point favorite at Texas Tech.

567
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 2: Both schools are huge favorites in their respective games. I

568
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: would expect that we see a little bit of a

569
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 2: better performance out of K State, but tough to say

570
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: how much going up against a team like Oklahoma that

571
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,479
Speaker 2: we know has so much firepower on offense and then

572
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 2: on the Texas side. Look, I we're fans of British

573
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 2: comedy legend Alan Bowman, but Tech didn't exactly instill confidence

574
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 2: struggling in Game one against Houston Baptist, did.

575
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: They No, that was not necessarily Alan Bowman's fault, but

576
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: he certainly looked off in their first game. That was

577
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: more on the defense those numbers that were constantly put

578
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: on the Raiders. So I'm going to first of all,

579
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: if we're going to start with the Oklahoma Kansas State, um,

580
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually going to take those points. I think Kansas

581
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: State won't look as pushed around. I mean, the Oklahoma

582
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: offense is certainly better than the Arkansas State offense, but

583
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Kansas State has had a couple weeks to make some

584
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: tweaks and update things and get a little bit more comfortable.

585
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: And this is a revenge spot for Oklahoma after losing

586
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: this game last year. But nobody that's creating lines has

587
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: a full sense for Spencer Rattler after Missouri State. So

588
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: in his first Big twelve game, I think Oklahoma's going

589
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: to win comfortably. I have this as like forty five

590
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty one and maybe it's a backdoor cover like situation.

591
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: But Kansas State has a multi year starter at quarterback

592
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: who at the very least is decent. He looked decent

593
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: in his one game against Arkansas State. He has beaten

594
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: this team. I don't think Kansas State has the weapons

595
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: to hang with Oklahoma on the scoreboard, but this is

596
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: a definite Power five talent Layden squad. So yeah, I

597
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: think twenty eight and a half is probably a little

598
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: too many points. I love Texas big. I do love

599
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: Texas big too. Yeah. I like Texas by about twenty

600
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 1: eight here against Tech.

601
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 2: Other action very quickly in that noon hour. UCF about

602
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: a four touchdown favorite at ECU and Georgia Tech seven

603
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 2: point favorite on the road at Syracuse.

604
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a rough offensive watch. If you are

605
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: invested in Georgia Tech Syracuse, I would keep it, keep

606
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: the volume down. Don't you don't want to get anybody

607
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: freaked out you're watching this. You're choosing to watch this.

608
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: UCF minus twenty five against East Carolina. ECU hasn't played

609
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: a game. The game against Marshall was I believe was postponed,

610
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: if not canceled. So this is their first action on

611
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: the season. It's at home for the Pirates UCF. Maybe

612
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: in a letdown spot, not that Georgia Tech needed a

613
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: whole lot of emotion to get up for, but that

614
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: was their one power five game. I'm just going to

615
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: go UCF. The firepower is pretty vast.

616
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 2: Let me read through the games in the mid afternoon, okay,

617
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: and then we can dissect two SEC games, one at

618
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: three thirty, one at four on CBS at three point thirty.

619
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,959
Speaker 2: It is the debut of one Mike Leach at Mississippi

620
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 2: State with his new starting quarterback kJ Costello. He's going

621
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: to be on the road at LSU defending national champion

622
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: LSU Tigers. They are a seventeen point home favorite with

623
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: Miles Brennan named officially as your starting quarterback taking over

624
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 2: for Joe Burrow. And then at four o'clock on SEC Network,

625
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 2: we've got Georgia minus twenty four and a half on

626
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 2: the road at Arkansas. The question, as you said at

627
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: the top, is will JT. Daniels be cleared or is

628
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: Georgia going to go with Dewan Mathis instead. JT. Daniels

629
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: of course transfers over, but did have the injury that

630
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 2: kept him out for large chunk of the season last year.

631
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 2: We've also got games between RB and Cincinnati, both teams

632
00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: ranked actually, but Cincinnati is a home home favorite of

633
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: about fourteen points. We've got Duke at Virginia. Virginia's a

634
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: five point home favorite. Will be good to see what

635
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: they can do after a few weeks of postponements. And

636
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: then finally West Virginia at Oklahoma State, a game that

637
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 2: you said you're interested in. Yeah, Oklahoma State about it?

638
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: Eight and a half point favorite here. It is notable

639
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 2: because of that Spencer Sanders injury from a week ago.

640
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: Remember they just barely won the football game, largely on

641
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: the backs of their just awesome defense. We will see

642
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 2: what happens with Spencer Sanders. He was in the boot

643
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 2: earlier today. He was due for a reevaluation at some point.

644
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: We have not seen news on that before we hit

645
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: the record button, So if we haven't either updates, we'll

646
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 2: share them either on the podcast or at some point

647
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: on social media. But any games there.

648
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,720
Speaker 1: I love the level of detail you've been paying attention

649
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: to Spencer Sanders in the boot. Boot Watch twenty twenty.

650
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: I was not ex watched twenty twenty, I'm ready. If

651
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: you remember, Oklahoma's State needed a late comeback win starting

652
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: Drew Brown at quarterback to beat West Virginia for the

653
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: injured Sanders last year, Drew Brown no longer playing for

654
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. West Virginia handled Chuba Hubbard actually pretty well

655
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: last year, and Jared Dgy played pretty well for the Mountaineers.

656
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: This time, it's in Stillwater. I actually I'm I'm going

657
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: to go Oklahoma State here. I am. I am curious

658
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: about what happens with the boot and there's certainly a

659
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: different team, but at home with West Virginia, I don't know.

660
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't fully trust West Virginia yet. I think it's

661
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: actually going to be close for a while. But Oklahoma

662
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: State figures out a way, knowing that they might have

663
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: to be starting somebody else where they didn't last week.

664
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm going to take the Pokes by like thirteen Army Cincinnati.

665
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: It's tricky. I'm gonna go Cincinnati here.

666
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you gotta go Cincinnati, and my boy,

667
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter.

668
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 1: I hate, I hate taking Cincinnati, but I'm going to

669
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: go Cincinnati here because you're either banking on Army turning

670
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: this game into a slow ground war, which is entirely possible,

671
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: or Cincinnati just figuring out with their own defense how

672
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: to get stops. The thing that concerns me was Army

673
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: was amazing last year, as they are most years when

674
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: they're pretty good at generating third and shorts, and Cincinnati

675
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: allowed too many third in shorts and Army of course,

676
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: pretty difficult to stop with that offense if it's just

677
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: a third and one, third and two whatever, given they're

678
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: literal options. So that's something I'd pay attention to. Is

679
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: Cincinnati can generate third and sevens instead of third and ones.

680
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 1: We'll see, But yeah, I think the firepower Cincinnati potentially

681
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 1: could have on offense, it's a different maker, difference maker.

682
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: Excuse me. I like Georgia enormously. No matter who starts

683
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: at quarterback.

684
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 2: I think Georgia is going to blow the doors off Arkansas.

685
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: Georgia again is switching up to a new offensive system

686
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 2: that should hopefully be a little bit more vertical, hopefully

687
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 2: for their sake. Sure, because the offense in its previous

688
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 2: state was you know, a little bit stale, a little

689
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 2: bit more dink and dunk. They're trying to stretch the field.

690
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: That was part of the excitement with bringing Jamie Newman over.

691
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 2: We'll see if it's JT. Daniels or Dewan Mathis, whoever

692
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 2: it is, I would expect that they're going to have

693
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 2: a lot of success in this football game. I guess

694
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 2: the more interesting story could be Dwan Mathis getting the start,

695
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: playing really well and then having a bit of a

696
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: controversy as to whether or not he's going to get

697
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 2: the go or JT. Daniels once he's clear, But in

698
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 2: any case, we both like the dogs here. The game

699
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,520
Speaker 2: that I am most interested in, though, is that Mississippi

700
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 2: State LSU game. For sure, LSU defending national champion, but

701
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 2: lost a lot a lot to the NFL. We had

702
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase opt out, so there's just a lot going

703
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 2: on there. Joe Brady goes to the Panthers like it

704
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 2: is a much much different team, still a ton of talent,

705
00:37:55,440 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: but starting over in so many spots that I am

706
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see what that leech air raid

707
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 2: system with I think a relatively steady hand in kJ

708
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: Costello can do against a good team in Week one,

709
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 2: so I am inclined to go points here, even though

710
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,439
Speaker 2: the matchup isn't the best, even though there's a lot

711
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 2: working against Mississippi State. Feels to me like this is

712
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 2: a game that just given the nature of the system,

713
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: the nature of the turnover at LSU, they could keep

714
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 2: reasonably close here within that seventeen I.

715
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: Think you're bearing the lead, and that is we get

716
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: a Mike Leach versus bo Polini chess match here. Hah yeah,

717
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: Mike Leach bo Polini. Seventeen points is certainly a lot

718
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: of points. We don't know what to expect out of

719
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: kJ Costello's health. He was named starter or co starter,

720
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: but he is starting this game. They really struggled in

721
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: the passing game last year, in the last couple of

722
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: years at times under Joe moorehead, so I anticipate improvement there.

723
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 1: The defense a new law book three three five four

724
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: to two five type hybrid situation that San Diego State

725
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: type system, the Rocky long whatever what degree if Miles Brennan,

726
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: if Miles Brennan is as good as he can be,

727
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: if he reaches his ceiling, not knowing what that ceiling is,

728
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: what is the most reasonable percentile that LSU can get

729
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: to what they were as compared to last season, Like

730
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: if Miles Brennan is like the best Miles Brennan possible,

731
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: can they be seventy percent of what they were last year?

732
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 2: Four seventy or eighty percent?

733
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: Okay? If he is absolutely the real deal and is

734
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 1: comfortable and is an assassin to whatever degree. Because we

735
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: didn't see Joe Burrow happening. We thought Joe Burrow was

736
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: fine and it was a playmaker at times. We definitely

737
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: didn't see it all coming together. I will raise my hand,

738
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: I will, I will run to the front of the line.

739
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: I didn't see it happening. Yeah, so I don't see

740
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: with Miles Brennan, but that doesn't mean it can't happen.

741
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: The talent's going to be there. And then I don't

742
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: know if we talked about this on the preview show.

743
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: I think we did. Eric Gilbert, the true freshman sort

744
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: of hybrid tight end receiver. I think he was already

745
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: named a starter, and they have dudes in that receiving cores,

746
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: they have tight ends, and he was named a starter

747
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,400
Speaker 1: as a true freshman. That might be an incredibly special

748
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: player starting from this week. So there are reasons to

749
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: believe in LSU being really good once again. I just

750
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if it happens this week, so I'm

751
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 1: going to take those points. I think LSU wins this

752
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 1: game by a couple touchdowns, but seventeen eighteen LC will

753
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: my twenty three last year. I'm going to take the points.

754
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: But this game is the most fascinating game to me

755
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: of the day. Yeah, I'm very curious to see which

756
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: direction this one goes, even though it's sort of in

757
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: my window, you know, I'm going to be watching anyway more.

758
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 2: What difference does it make? All right, let's shift then

759
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: to the evening slate, and I have no thoughts about Virginia. No,

760
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 2: I don't Virginia oneast year. Yeah, other than the fact

761
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: that the game exists, we'll just sort of leave it there.

762
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,040
Speaker 1: I hope Virginia finds a replacement for Bryce Perkins. I

763
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 1: know people seem to be optimistic in Charlottesville. That's the case.

764
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: But I haven't enjoyed watching Duke football these past couple

765
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: of weeks, So hopefully Virginia is able to get out

766
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: of the gate impressively.

767
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: Finally, we've got seven games here just to rifle through. Okay,

768
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 2: I will start though with my lock of the week,

769
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: Bluck of the week. I teased it last week, I

770
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: thought long and hard about it. I still can't talk

771
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 2: myself out of Tennessee minus three at South Carolina. Okay,

772
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: I don't generally like to lock up road teams, but

773
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 2: I kind of think South Carolina is going to be

774
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 2: a nightmare this season. I'm not not at all, not

775
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: into Mike Bobo, not into Will mush Champ. I'm just

776
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 2: not into this team at all. Three points again, Tennessee

777
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 2: week one has never really been a winning proposition, not recently, right, right,

778
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 2: But this is a team that brings so much back

779
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 2: they should be much much improved. I just I really

780
00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 2: like Tennessee this week three point line on the road.

781
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: I think they'll be fired up and ready to go.

782
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: So Tennessee minus three is my lock.

783
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: What's the bigger mismatch? The Tennessee defense against the South

784
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: Carolina offense or the Tennessee offense against South Carolina defense.

785
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: Where is your confidence lying with this one?

786
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: I know that they brought in a new offensive coordinator

787
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: in South Carolina to revamp things. Bobo, I have more

788
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: confidence in the Tennessee defense. I don't know. I mean,

789
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 2: I know what Mike Bobo's offense looks like, yeah, but

790
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it's going to take in Week

791
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 2: one against what I think should be a pretty good defense.

792
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 1: I think that's all reasonable. South Carolina finished the year

793
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: scoring three points against Clemson, six points against Texas A

794
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: and m fifteen points against app State, and they did

795
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: beat Vandy and lost to South Carolina by twenty points.

796
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: Last season. That broke a three year losing streak by

797
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee to South Carolina. So I think I'm on board

798
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: with Tennessee being the better team, and given the strange

799
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,360
Speaker 1: times and non you know, it's not going to be

800
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: a home field advantage in the traditional way for South Carolina.

801
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 2: No.

802
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to take Tennessee, but not confidently, just

803
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: because Tennessee has had their own health issues with the

804
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: pandemic these past few weeks and it's hard to gauge.

805
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: It's hard to adjust for that. But Week one is

806
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: always just that, you know, propensity for a clunker week.

807
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Fannessey unenthusiastically.

808
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: I like the fact that this defense was young a

809
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 2: year ago and came on like a freight train in

810
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 2: the second half of the year, right really encouraged by

811
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 2: the way they closed out the season. And you know,

812
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 2: we talked about Mike Bobo and Well Muschamp trying to

813
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 2: change offense at South Carolina. This is going to be

814
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: year two of Jim Cheney offensive consultant at Tennessee. Yeah,

815
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 2: and so I think the combination of a good line

816
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,880
Speaker 2: with maybe a bit of a year two bump that

817
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 2: offense should hopefully get more out of the ground game,

818
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 2: give Jared Garantano a little bit more support. I just

819
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: I really like Tennessee this year. Not saying they win

820
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 2: the SEC, but I think this is going to be

821
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: a team that's improved and I'm just going to lock

822
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 2: them up minus three, not eve gonna think twice.

823
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: So not a sandstorm Saturday for you. Not a sandstorm Saturday. Okay,

824
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: I think I agree. I think the mismatches the Tennessee

825
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: defense should be in a very good place in South

826
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 1: Carolina offense.

827
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 2: All right, there is a rivalry now Carolina rivalry game

828
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 2: in the state of Florida at seven point thirty on ABC.

829
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 2: It's Florida State at Miami. The Canes are minus eleven.

830
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: Here.

831
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 2: We talked on our last show about Mike Norvel not

832
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 2: coaching this game because he tested positive for COVID, So

833
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,239
Speaker 2: reports are at least in the early going here that

834
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: the preparation for the game is going fine. Florida State's

835
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 2: not really concerned about that part of it. I'm more

836
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:34,880
Speaker 2: concerned about their offense. Dan can'stay really good Miami defense

837
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: first and foremost. Is there any letdown effect, any let

838
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: down effect at all after a really big road win

839
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: at Louisville a week ago?

840
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: It depends how big you think the win actually was.

841
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: That was the headline game because of not having other

842
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: big games last week. But it's hard to say that

843
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: Miami is going to be let down and just reliving

844
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: the glory of Jose Bogatis in his fifty six yard

845
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: are When is there a game that Miami treasures more

846
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 1: than the opportunity to beat down on Florida State.

847
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 2: And Florida State exactly.

848
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: So, I letdown spot doesn't feel right. I have this

849
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: as thirty to seventeen Miami, just the mismatch of Florida

850
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: State's offensive line trying to hold back the floodgates that

851
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: makes up the Miami defensive line, and how much and

852
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: how consistently they get after the quarterback, especially on the edge.

853
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a long day. This

854
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: was a seventeen point Florida State loss last year. That

855
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: was an Alex Hornybrook game for those who keep its

856
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: score on Alex Hornybrook joint. It just stars don't seem

857
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: aligning for me. Miami at home as favorites, feeling energized,

858
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 1: feeling confident after last week. So yeah, I think Miami

859
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: wins this one easily by double digits.

860
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 2: I like Miami minus the eleven.

861
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: Also that Georgia Tech loss doesn't has an aged particularly

862
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: well already.

863
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 2: No, it's true, it's just a week and a half.

864
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: Let me throw this out here, though, not intending to

865
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 2: throw cold water on the Miami pick because I'm with you. Yeah,

866
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 2: but yes or no, this is the best defense that

867
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 2: Miami will have seen to date.

868
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: You AB did a really nice job against Miami's attempts

869
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:20,840
Speaker 1: to throw the ball.

870
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 2: Are you're going to take Uab's defense over Florida State's defense.

871
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: I may have to think about it. It's a more

872
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 1: talented Florida State defense, But in terms of buying an

873
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: actual I mean, Florida State couldn't get a push against

874
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech it's a fair point. I'm just saying I

875
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 1: think this will be more of a test. I like

876
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 1: the secondary of Florida State, but Miami can run the

877
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: ball straight at the Knowles.

878
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: Different matchup. I like Miami, but I do think Florida

879
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: State here poses a different challenge. If nothing else, will

880
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 2: get another look at Miami. Miami is one of the

881
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: teams I think that we know the most about. Through

882
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 2: two weeks, UAB finished with give us more data. UAB

883
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 2: finished with the number twenty eight S and P plus

884
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,959
Speaker 2: defense last season, last season, not this season, the number

885
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: two good defense, the number two most efficient defense in

886
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: the nation.

887
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: UAB. They were good against the run, they were I

888
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: think fine against the pass. Florida State. The numbers take

889
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: a dive. Tie, the numbers take a dive from there.

890
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: Florida State was pretty good against the run, but only

891
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: okay against the pass. So that that was my hesitation.

892
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:37,640
Speaker 1: But I think you're right here.

893
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 2: And then finally before we rifle through a few other games, Yeah,

894
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 2: seven pm ESPN Alabama minus twenty eight on the road

895
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 2: at Missouri.

896
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: Nick Saban made.

897
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 2: It official, Daniel, what do you make official? This year

898
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: will be the return of the mac.

899
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 1: How dare you and you didn't have you have music

900
00:48:58,960 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: ready either.

901
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 2: To return of the mac just to get one site

902
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 2: up to the show. Okay, Mac Jones, Mac Jones, you're

903
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 2: gonna be your starting quarterback. He's a red shirt junior.

904
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: He won the starting job, not a huge surprise. Obviously

905
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: saw a lot of time last year after Tua got hurt,

906
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: started four games and certainly did not look like your

907
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: usual college backup. From October the twenty fifth on, he

908
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 2: was actually the second highest rated quarterback in the nation

909
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: behind Joey Burrow. So as Miszoo enters into its own

910
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty campaign, they thought they were going to be

911
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,759
Speaker 2: down about a dozen guys. They won't be down quite

912
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 2: a dozen guys, but still out a few. I really

913
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: like Alabama here, I don't know. I like Missouri's defense.

914
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:51,000
Speaker 2: I like that the staff is back, but they are

915
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 2: kind of starting over in many respects. Don't know what

916
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,520
Speaker 2: to expect out of year one, and certainly in week

917
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: one against Alabama. I think you got to be mindful

918
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 2: here of what reasonable actually is.

919
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: The Hallabama minus anything right now? Forty five to fourteen tide.

920
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's something like ten and one eleven and one

921
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: against the spread and opener. Since he arrived in Tuscaloosa,

922
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: he has teams ready to play, taking the tide.

923
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 2: Very quickly. Some other games eight o'clock ACC Network, NC

924
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 2: State at Virginia Tech. It'll be good to see the

925
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,439
Speaker 2: hoax out there, see what they bring to the twenty

926
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: twenty campaign. Seven point favorite. We've got Texas State at

927
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 2: the Jerkeye Boys in Boston College. They're an eighteen point

928
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 2: home favorite. We've got Vandy at Texas A and m

929
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: the agg He's a thirty one point home favorite. No

930
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 2: surprise there, and also at seven point thirty ESPNU. It

931
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 2: is Kansas at Baylor, Baylor minus sixteen. I would be

932
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:59,240
Speaker 2: sort of inclined to go Baylor minus as sixteen there, Okay,

933
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: even though I'm not a huge Baylor fan. Sort of inclined.

934
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kansas. I mean that it's never dumb to take

935
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: a big spread and give those points against Kansas. I

936
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you have a specific reason for that

937
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: case beyond Kansas is Kansas, but Baylor not.

938
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 2: Look in a lot of places, I expected the line

939
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,239
Speaker 2: to be higher, Okay, truly I thought it would be

940
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 2: I thought it would be much higher and what has

941
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: Kansas given us to make us feel like they're within

942
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 2: sixteen of Baylor.

943
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: That's fair, all right. I'll take Baylor to win by

944
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Texas A and M down what looked to

945
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: be their number one receiver. Still thirty point favorites against Vandy. Yeah,

946
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 1: go A and M. I don't have a reason. I

947
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: need a reason with Vandy, and I don't have it.

948
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: So Virginia Tech, I'm a little bit skittish just because

949
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,200
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to get on the field and

950
00:51:54,239 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: they're missing dudes. But Bailey Hawkman and NC State it's

951
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: not moving the needle for me. I think Virginia Tech's

952
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: probably going to cover that unless they're missing a ton

953
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 1: of key dudes at key places. NC State seemed to

954
00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: have some fight last week, so I'd probably stay away

955
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: from that given the circumstances. But that's I think that's

956
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 1: how it would round out the night action. Alrighty any

957
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 1: other games here that jump out to you, Dan, these

958
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: are the ones you have listed here. I can go through.

959
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:29,240
Speaker 1: I trust you, Ty. Did you miss any.

960
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 2: I think I may have missed some of the non

961
00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: Power five action.

962
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 1: What okay, I'm gonna go through here just in case,

963
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: and I assume you have the Colonial League spreads right.

964
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 2: In front of you have the Colonial League spreads. Yeah,

965
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 2: of course a.

966
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: Lot of controversy there, Troy, BYU, is that doing anything

967
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: for you?

968
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 2: B Yu's got some guys who have COVID right BYU.

969
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 1: Provo has a COVID situation and so they're not BYU

970
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: has I think there was a gaming party. Zach Wilson,

971
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:05,359
Speaker 1: the quarterback, was involved in a number of players got it. Yeah,

972
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: so that might have been part of it. Georgia Southern

973
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: Louisiana is interesting. Louisiana top twenty team right now. You

974
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: mentioned and we mentioned UCF South Carolina. There's not I'm

975
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,360
Speaker 1: rooting for the Campbell Campbell's even though they're playing against

976
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: my beloved app State Mountaineers, just because Campbell's a new

977
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: college football team. They've only existed for like three years.

978
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: FIU Liberty is somewhat interesting to me. Liberty pulled the

979
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 1: upset last week as underdogs. Beyond that, I am hoping

980
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 1: for good things from Lane Hatcher in Arkansas State because

981
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: I really liked watching him last year and how they

982
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: opened up the season Houston North Texas. Hopefully that can

983
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: happen after Houston had the Baylor game postponed or canceled

984
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:50,719
Speaker 1: last week, we have Sugar Shane Bochelle, who should put

985
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 1: up huge numbers against Stephen F. Austin. I think that's it.

986
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: That's as far as I can take my interest level

987
00:53:57,600 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: right now.

988
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: We have for college football Week four, Dan, we would

989
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 2: encourage everyone to call the reverbline at four oh eight

990
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,400

Speaker 2: two five one. Please do call. We've got a new

992

Speaker 2: fan base that's going to be joining us now as

993
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 2: the SEC begins play. It's always fun to get as

994
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: many messages as possible. We love listening to it just

995
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 2: as much as you love calling in and giving us

996

Speaker 2: your real time feedback on these games. So, as per usual,

00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: you in the mix tasty of reverbs.

1000
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: Can I interject something I want to apologize and honor

1001
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 1: something if I have the opportunity. Sure, we had a

1002
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: request a couple weeks ago that I forgot to fulfill

1003
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,919
Speaker 1: and I feel terrible. Do you know what I'm talking

1004
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: about here?

1005
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 2: No, I have no idea.

1006
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: It came in from the girl friend I believe. I

1007
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: don't want to get the titling wrong, the girlfriend of

1008
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 1: a listener, a super fan. They just celebrated their year

1009
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 1: long anniversary. And I generally don't love doing these things,

1010
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: but when I hear somebody super into the show, that's

1011
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: a weak spot of mind. So happy anniversary tie to

1012
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: Danny Irving and Monica super fan, super verbal or Danny Irving.

1015
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,040

00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 1: about you're just your wandering eyes. You just you can't

00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 1: to say.

1020
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,319
