Speaker 1: Haberballers.
Speaker 2: Before we play back the live Fantasy Things Draft, who
Speaker 2: did a few weeks ago in Chicago. A quick note
Speaker 2: from our friends over at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Speaker 2: Do you think that driving drunk or drug impaired is okay?
Speaker 2: The truth is that your reaction times slow way down
Speaker 2: when you're under the influence. You're not only putting yourself
Speaker 2: in danger, but also everyone around you. Remember, if you
Speaker 2: feel different, you drive different. If you drive high, you'll
Speaker 2: get a DUI. Learn more at NHTSA, NITSA dot gov
Speaker 2: without further ado, the twenty eighteen Fantasy Things Draft.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal. I'm after me, I'm a man.
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, Well, I want to
Speaker 1: be happy. You want to be happy for a day
Speaker 1: at the State. Is that wool? Live from the Vidom
Speaker 1: Theater in Chicago, Illinois. It's the twenty eighteen Fantasy Things Draft,
Speaker 1: presented by the Solid Verber and now your two hosts
Speaker 1: for the evening, Ty hilden Brand and Dan Ruvenstein. We
Speaker 1: should have prepared. Did everybody hear us?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: No, nobody can hear us. It's great, perfect, Let's just
Speaker 1: do this for us Okay, before we begin, you should
Speaker 1: know that you would have been the only audience to
Speaker 1: hear this show if not for Ties saving the day
Speaker 1: with literally two minutes before you walked in. So just
Speaker 1: give it up one more time for Siehild and Rod. Also,
Speaker 1: before we begin, I had forgotten about the star Fox
Speaker 1: theme song that just played. That's what that was. Did
Speaker 1: anybody pick up these Star Fox me there? Okay, right here,
Speaker 1: let's get Ties Mike up. He's got a lot to
Speaker 1: say today. Check check there he is. Right after I
Speaker 1: finished complimenting ties audio skills, I had no working microphes.
Speaker 1: All right, now, we're good, okay, So I just want
Speaker 1: to shout out that somebody put Woodland creatures behind the
Speaker 1: wheel of a fighter jets. I thought that was a
Speaker 1: wonderful idea. Thank you. Anyway, So as you can see
Speaker 1: behind us fantasy things, the fantasy things draft. We do
Speaker 1: it every year. Somebody probably dragged you here and you're
Speaker 1: not fully sure what we're doing, and that's fine, that's normal.
Speaker 2: How many people are here against their will?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah, and that's it.
Speaker 2: There's a little bit of a there's a little bit
Speaker 2: of a scalp going on to which I appreciate. Yes,
Speaker 2: so here, here is what we do with this show.
Speaker 1: We just got to win her over. That's it.
Speaker 2: We're gonna try. Here's what we do with this show.
Speaker 2: People have heard of fantasy football, fantasy sports in general.
Speaker 2: We thought it'd be fun to instead of pick players
Speaker 2: or coaches or teams to put on any kind of
Speaker 2: fantasy roster.
Speaker 1: Instead, we're gonna pick things.
Speaker 2: We're gonna pick storylines, We're gonna pick tropes, things that
Speaker 2: announcers say, funny things that might happen throughout the course
Speaker 2: of the season. And we're gonna make our own pretend
Speaker 2: teams using those things. Hence fantasy things. That's where it
Speaker 2: comes from. We're adults. Yes, we're making our own secret rocks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So with that being.
Speaker 2: Said, we're trying to do a show for everybody. So
Speaker 2: if you are here, I'm on here, I'm on plenty
Speaker 2: of seats. If you are here against your will, We're
Speaker 2: going to do our best to make it a fun
Speaker 2: show for everybody involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, We've got a couple of guest commissioners hopefully they're here.
Speaker 1: If not, whoops. We're gonna draft storylines as you can see,
Speaker 1: tweet throw things, on the Instagram. It's what the kids do.
Speaker 1: We're getting chicken tenders. Afterwards, come out tenders with tie
Speaker 1: and beer and everything like that. That's the way this works. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know should we just go any other announcements.
Speaker 1: I think we should just get all right, do it.
Speaker 1: The women's bathroom is on the third floor, the men's
Speaker 1: bathroom is on the second floor.
Speaker 2: The important things are out of the way. Please make
Speaker 2: sure you.
Speaker 1: Other way I'm talking way connection is very helpful tonight.
Speaker 2: Okay, So if we could get around of a plus
Speaker 2: to get.
Speaker 1: This thing started. So we did this last year. And
Speaker 1: as you know, when a commissioner comes to the podium
Speaker 1: at the NFL Draft, it's not a super happy time.
Speaker 2: Now people love to boo the commissioner boo lustily when
Speaker 2: we have our guest commissions up here.
Speaker 1: I am going to be announcing the first pick, which
Speaker 1: is ties pick correct, And I think it would only
Speaker 1: be right if there it is. When I say the
Speaker 1: pick is in, you're going to hear a sound and
Speaker 1: I'm going to walk to the front and I'm going
Speaker 1: to announce the first pick. You don't need to boo
Speaker 1: the rest of the announcements, but just the first one.
Speaker 1: I want that first one. Sure, I want that flavor
Speaker 1: just for the people listening at home. Yeah that Taylor.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Here we go? Thumbs up? All right,
Speaker 1: all right, the pick is in. You know, even though
Speaker 1: it was a joke, it hurt. It did hurt. Okay.
Speaker 1: So with the first over in the twenty eighteen Fantasy
Speaker 1: Things Draft, Ty Hildebrandt has selected Jimbo Fisher's contract. There
Speaker 1: it is. Let's give it up for Jimbo.
Speaker 4: Ti.
Speaker 1: It's a strong pick. It's not the strongest we've ever had.
Speaker 2: No pay dividends here, explain, here's the rationale. So we
Speaker 2: have a diehard group of rebawlers who listen and they
Speaker 2: actually keep track of this madness on our subreddit, which
Speaker 2: is phenomenal. Thank you if you're out there and helpful
Speaker 2: and part of this little madness that we've created.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I lost last year.
Speaker 2: It was close, but I lost, and I lost because
Speaker 2: I picked stupid things that we're only mentioned or referenced
Speaker 2: throughout the course of the season a handful of times,
Speaker 2: maybe in the beginning, maybe at the end.
Speaker 1: But not throughout like some of yours.
Speaker 2: So I ended up losing by a couple of points,
Speaker 2: mainly because of that, which means I got the first pick.
Speaker 2: So we're going to go through some here that I
Speaker 2: think definitely have more potential.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: But I wanted to go with Jimbo Fisher's ten year,
Speaker 2: seventy five million dollar contract. Ye huh, because people are
Speaker 2: going to talk about that.
Speaker 1: That's a lot.
Speaker 2: So it seems Kirk Farnce is contracted through twenty seventy
Speaker 2: five I believe, okay, yes, if memory serves okay, he
Speaker 2: probably won't earn seventy five million dollars between now and then,
Speaker 2: I would assume. So Jimbo Fisher checks both of those boxes.
Speaker 1: Both of those boxes.
Speaker 2: And we're in a position where people just are enamored
Speaker 2: with sports contracts, right, So there are going to be
Speaker 2: segments that talk about Jimbo Fisher's contract, second guessing, second
Speaker 2: guessing the contract. There are clearly going to be added
Speaker 2: pressures from having that contract. It's going to be a
Speaker 2: very in vogue thing to mention, to write about and
Speaker 2: hopefully to get me points.
Speaker 1: Yes. The great thing about this specific deal, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't happen with a lot of schools, if any, is
Speaker 1: when he took the job, everybody was immediately down in
Speaker 1: Southeast Exis. I was like, is he Texas enough? And
Speaker 1: then as you can see, well, he was like, no,
Speaker 1: I can hold boots. I can definitely, And then he's there.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the message board post like, how is
Speaker 1: he going to get along with Revelle?
Speaker 4: Is he?
Speaker 1: Because Revelle knows if he's not a real laggy, the
Speaker 1: Revelle's a dog. So I like the fact that this
Speaker 1: might start a trend of coaches having to prove that
Speaker 1: they are geographically like a hazing of sorts right that
Speaker 1: they are they are good enough for that crowd, Like
Speaker 1: I would want a new Washington coach to hold up
Speaker 1: a Chinook salmon take a big bite, like no, I
Speaker 1: am Pacific Northwest enough Vermont Lake. So here's the here's
Speaker 1: the operative question.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, does this all go to a place where
Speaker 2: we see a game day segment of Jimbo Fisher riding
Speaker 2: a mechanical.
Speaker 1: Bull please please know.
Speaker 2: We don't need a and what does that look like?
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad you mentioned that because my pick is
Speaker 1: undulating Jimbo Fisher. No, that's that now, I'm trying. I
Speaker 1: really gave it a lot of thought, like I want
Speaker 1: the next Ohio State coach. I want, yeah to like
Speaker 1: take a bite out of one of those butter sculptures.
Speaker 1: Really prove Yeah, I really learned about that recently. Yes,
Speaker 1: so good overall, fort overall, Yeah, solid, I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna do well. All right, I'm ready for my.
Speaker 2: Give it up for Jimbo Fisher. He could buy and
Speaker 2: sell all of you. So now you don't have to
Speaker 2: boom me. No, you could if you want. You don't
Speaker 2: have to.
Speaker 1: Are you ready to make your pick? I'm ready pick
Speaker 1: us in whoa thank you?
Speaker 2: With the second overall pick in the twenty eighteen Fantasy
Speaker 2: Things Draft, Daniel Rubinstein selects strength coach has a screw loose.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So okay, if I could give just a little bit
Speaker 2: of context, Okay, if I could give a little bit
Speaker 2: of context here.
Speaker 1: Bad week, bad week, bad week. We did our draft
Speaker 1: last night.
Speaker 2: We're about to become a human. I'd swear we sort
Speaker 2: of planned things out a little bit last night. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and when this one came up, you can ask your wife.
Speaker 1: I lost it.
Speaker 2: I was chuckling heartily when this one came up. So
Speaker 2: explain to me what this means.
Speaker 1: The asterisk here is non awful strength coach things victimless strength.
Speaker 1: Like just when a strength coach destroys a trophy or
Speaker 1: goes to Hawaii with bands to get jacked in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: This I mean this guy specifically Aaron Feld for Morgan
Speaker 1: the new Hire comes over from Georgia, a ridiculous mustache
Speaker 1: post ridiculous things is great as far as I know, right,
Speaker 1: So anytime any strength coach does, like if they're if
Speaker 1: guys are lifting Halloween week in Marvel costumes, I want
Speaker 1: in on that action. Okay, you can tell obviously look
Speaker 1: at me as a substitute teacher looking idiot that I
Speaker 1: feel confident that maybe not Aaron Feld alone, but Scott
Speaker 1: Cochrane at Alabama LSU's got a couple of weirdos all
Speaker 1: over the sec. I mean, I could say LSU has
Speaker 1: a couple of weirdos, and it doesn't matter what I'm
Speaker 1: referring to. I'm gonna get points with this. Just be
Speaker 1: out of his Instagram account alone.
Speaker 2: You showed me his Instagram, which I was not familiar
Speaker 2: with you. It's do you remember those old, like nineteen
Speaker 2: nineties WWF interviews with mean Gene Okerland. Of course, it's
Speaker 2: like that, but all the time. Yes, there's no off switch,
Speaker 2: just remarkable. So if they're all like him, which I
Speaker 2: know or not, but.
Speaker 1: Most kind of are. Yeah, yeah, there's a there is
Speaker 1: again positive victim less a little bit. Yes, it's a
Speaker 1: good bad week.
Speaker 2: A lot of upside there, Yes, what upside?
Speaker 1: I'm happy with it. So I'm it's my pick once again.
Speaker 2: Right, it's your pick, so good get the stash a
Speaker 2: round of a bass please, Aaron Felds. So we we
Speaker 2: call it the Fantasy Things Draft, which means we have
Speaker 2: to do the weird serpentine thing even though there's only
Speaker 2: two of us, which is awkward and we still get
Speaker 2: it wrong. But I feel like we did a good
Speaker 2: job planning it out. This You get two picks in
Speaker 2: a row, now, is.
Speaker 1: What this means.
Speaker 2: So your first pick was the screw loose awesome, and
Speaker 2: uh this hurts.
Speaker 1: I like that you're going up every time. That was
Speaker 1: just supposed to be a one time thing.
Speaker 2: No, let's let's see people paid money so tiled events.
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, no boom again for that? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: that that boo is real.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 2: With the third pick of the Fantasy Things Draft, Dan
Speaker 2: Rubistein selects Welcome Home, Scott Frost.
Speaker 4: Yeah this hurts. Yeah, I would have taken this. Okay, No,
Speaker 4: you're right, you should have and would have. But we
Speaker 4: discussed this in advance.
Speaker 1: Every week during the Nebraska broadcast, somebody is going to
Speaker 1: say we have a couple of broadcasters here. They will affirm, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's like, oh, Scott Frost obviously played for Nebraska. Scott
Speaker 1: Frost is coming home. That's not what will count. That's
Speaker 1: too easy. After last year with so you're purposely limiting yourself.
Speaker 1: I am limiting myself. WHOA yes, as a generous champion,
Speaker 1: I am. I want to be this because last year
Speaker 1: we had like the commercial thing, we had Tom Renaldi
Speaker 1: tier jerkers. It was too often okay, like we wanted
Speaker 1: to be special like snowflakes that would that give us points.
Speaker 1: So what has to happen is not just does an
Speaker 1: announcer reference the fact that Scott Frost used to play
Speaker 1: and is coming back home to Nebraska and to Lincoln.
Speaker 1: But we have to see a picture of him playing
Speaker 1: in a Nebraska uniform, and there must be belly button.
Speaker 1: There must be because if you look up his playing photos,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of big this and just a little
Speaker 1: minute belly button there, so I wanted to, and Ty
Speaker 1: wouldn't let me write Scott Frost's belly button because it
Speaker 1: needed too much explanation. But yeah, that's the qualifier. I
Speaker 1: am happy to say.
Speaker 2: See, I feel better now that you are specifying the
Speaker 2: belly button, not because I'm interested in the belly button
Speaker 2: per se, but mainly just because you're leading points on
Speaker 2: the table.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So Scott Frost, for those wondering playing the home game,
Speaker 2: is the new head football coach at Nebraska. He played
Speaker 2: at Nebraska. He was a successful coach at Nebraska. After
Speaker 2: leaving Nebraska, he went into the coaching business.
Speaker 1: He's playing the NFL way in the NFL. We won't
Speaker 1: talk too much about that. Come.
Speaker 2: He was very successful as an offensive coordinator, was very
Speaker 2: successful for National champion.
Speaker 1: You see f last year. Boo, I hate a tiny
Speaker 1: school in Orlando.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and now he's head football coach at Nebraska. They
Speaker 2: were after him from day one. They get their guys.
Speaker 2: So you're gonna see even if you don't see belly button,
Speaker 2: there are gonna be a lot of those cheesy like
Speaker 2: welcome home Scott banners. Someone's gonna fly a plane over
Speaker 2: the stadium. Home, Scott, somebody has already.
Speaker 1: Robbed his house. Yeah, no, that is true. It was
Speaker 1: like a fourteen year old seventeen year old girl.
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome, welcome home, Welcome home, Scott.
Speaker 1: Did you ever watch the show ed on NBC. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like a rich man's Stuckyville. I don't know
Speaker 1: who Carol Vessi is in this situation, but shout out
Speaker 1: everybody who watched an a pretty good show on NBC
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago.
Speaker 5: The pick is in. The pick is in Scott Frost.
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good pick.
Speaker 1: So with Scott Frost off the board, Tye had to
Speaker 1: to recognize that a run had to be made at
Speaker 1: a what was that feeling? Yeah, sorry, feeling this pick.
Speaker 1: Ty recognized that a run was about to happen. And
Speaker 1: Ty has selected Kyler Murray plays baseball. But I think
Speaker 1: this needs a qualifier to Ty, don't you think? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think we need to see photos of in the
Speaker 2: spirit of what you've already put forth here now with
Speaker 2: Scott Frost, I think we need to see photos of
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray in a baseball uniform, literally, specifically, specifically in
Speaker 2: a baseball uniform. I don't care what kind it is.
Speaker 2: It could be Halloween dress up. But in the spirit
Speaker 2: of what you've done, we need to go Kyler Murray
Speaker 2: in the baseball uniform. So Kyler Murray again, you feel
Speaker 2: strongly about this. I feel like very strongly about this pick.
Speaker 2: And when I put her on the list, I'm not
Speaker 2: sure you wanted to go with it because we've already
Speaker 2: talked a lot about it in the offseason. It's been
Speaker 2: a big thing. But Kyler Murray also plays baseball. He's
Speaker 2: not unlike a lot of really talented college athletes in
Speaker 2: that he's good at another sport. It just so happens
Speaker 2: he's really freaking good at another sport and was drafted
Speaker 2: ninth overall in the Major League First Year Player Draft.
Speaker 2: Now being so, he's also a quarterback for a D
Speaker 2: one school, this forced a decision. A lot of times,
Speaker 2: this decision comes before they ever.
Speaker 1: Get to school.
Speaker 2: In his case, somehow, some way, he not only got
Speaker 2: a five million dollar contract from the Oakland Athletics excuse me,
Speaker 2: but he also broke her to deal in which he
Speaker 2: gets to play one only one. You're a football yep,
Speaker 2: how is that possible?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's very unusual. This isn't pillow fighting, it's football.
Speaker 2: So I read quotes from people in the a's front office,
Speaker 2: and it's not clear to me that they weren't strong
Speaker 2: armed by Kyler Murray's agent, of course, because they're like,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, like the risk totally outweigh or is totally
Speaker 2: outweighed by the fact that he's a really good baseball
Speaker 2: player and he rates on the baseball diamond. But you
Speaker 2: would think that there would be a little bit more
Speaker 2: hesitation maybe draft him like nineteenth, but ninth overall, he's
Speaker 2: getting a five million dollar guaranteed contract.
Speaker 1: Wow, that is a huge risk. It's a big risk,
Speaker 1: and it's unusual in that almost as if you had
Speaker 1: proposed to somebody and they were like, yes, but I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take like a year. Brad just got us tickets
Speaker 1: to Italy. I've never been to Italy. I kind of
Speaker 1: want to find myself. I'm gonna take a pasta making class,
Speaker 1: and I think everything should be good when I get
Speaker 1: back from Capri. I think, right, But who's to say, Hey,
Speaker 1: we just don't know, right. I also think.
Speaker 2: The real story here, the real hero of the story
Speaker 2: is Kyler Murray's agent.
Speaker 1: They should write part.
Speaker 2: Of the deal too, about getting this sweetheart deal for
Speaker 2: the client.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see how it goes. I'm not sure Kyler.
Speaker 2: Murray is gonna make it through the whole year, yeah,
Speaker 2: because if he gets nicked, what will their threshold be
Speaker 2: for leaving them in to play through the pain.
Speaker 1: That sort of thing.
Speaker 2: But yeah, Kyler Murray baseball outfit is going to be
Speaker 2: something I think we see a lot of. So even
Speaker 2: though I didn't get Scott Frost, I feel pretty good
Speaker 2: that this could be just a successful Yes, that's a
Speaker 2: good pick.
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna be solid with that one. Two
Speaker 1: solid picks. Yeah, solid Kyler Murray.
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray.
Speaker 1: I like this one too. I'm not gonna come up
Speaker 1: one more because I my hard hurts getting booed. The
Speaker 1: pick is in, all right, So we made a run
Speaker 1: at the obvious ones. Each have one on the roster.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with a cliche with this one. Mono
Speaker 1: a mono and this is yours, this is mine. You
Speaker 1: have chosen. The backups might start for I don't know,
Speaker 1: like a hundred other teams. The backups might be better
Speaker 1: than the starters for everybody else where. Are the backups
Speaker 1: of these guys could start for anyone else, but unfortunately,
Speaker 1: so I think the qualifiers here, I think that might
Speaker 1: be tannermacavoy. Can a Wisconsin persons stop a say all right, yeah, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that plays so which, by the way, Joel Stave could
Speaker 1: not have started four other teams he's given us.
Speaker 2: He's saying, yeah, no more, no more Stave probably nice.
Speaker 1: Remember when Joel Stave had the Yips. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: could draft the Yips every year, somebody becoming mentally weak,
Speaker 1: if you would bathe in.
Speaker 2: That, I would draft the Yips every year if I could.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So the qualifiers here, I believe where we're gonna see this.
Speaker 2: If we see this, all of the Alabama's second team, yes,
Speaker 2: Carol Tide, all of Clemson's second team, yep, all of
Speaker 2: Jorge most of Georgia's second team at this point.
Speaker 1: And then we've got a bunch of other.
Speaker 2: Interesting scenarios around college football. We've got the Texas quarterback situation.
Speaker 1: Who doesn't want Shane Bushelle. Everybody's raising their hand if
Speaker 1: you're listening to this at home. Everybody wants Shane Mischelle.
Speaker 2: We've got the Ohio State situation. Just in general, which.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that was such a good okay, good moment
Speaker 1: of silence. Ye yeah, just cause wow, No, you guys
Speaker 1: nailed it. So there are plenty of guys that are
Speaker 1: taking the air out of the room. Yeah, but there
Speaker 1: are plenty of guys at the Ohio State roster.
Speaker 2: But I think we've come to a gentleman's agreement that
Speaker 2: will sort of limit that.
Speaker 1: Yeah talk, No, you're right though they've recruited such a
Speaker 1: crazy degree that.
Speaker 2: Yes, our thing on the show was that the backup
Speaker 2: is better than the starter, and we're still going to
Speaker 2: have tons of fun.
Speaker 1: With that, right, I expect to anyway, because we can
Speaker 1: every year.
Speaker 2: But as per things that announcers talk about and things
Speaker 2: that they talk about in the studio and certainly on
Speaker 2: message boards, like, man, if Tommy Stevens weren't on Penn
Speaker 2: State's roster, he could be playing.
Speaker 1: Like some state message boards.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So I think we're gonna see a lot
Speaker 2: of that this year because there is a lot of
Speaker 2: depth around college football.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rich Lawrence justin Fields, Richard get.
Speaker 2: Richer, and it's certainly something that at least kills ten
Speaker 2: seconds of time during a broadcast.
Speaker 1: I'm happy you took that pick, because I don't think
Speaker 1: it's going to do that. Well really, yeah, this was
Speaker 1: your thing a year ago. I know if I learned
Speaker 1: little gamesmanship, never heard anybody. Wow, all right, I'm very
Speaker 1: so this next pick. The pick is in now. With
Speaker 1: the next pick.
Speaker 2: In the Fantasy Things Draft twenty eighteen, Dan Rubinstein selects
Speaker 2: kickers and punters taunting.
Speaker 1: Yes, I don't care if this gets me three points
Speaker 1: over the course of the season. There is something that
Speaker 1: warms my heart. So okay.
Speaker 2: Some recent examples of this the Outback Bowl earlier this year.
Speaker 2: Michigan kicker Quinn Nordin. Yeah, kicked a field goal at
Speaker 2: the end of the first half in a losing effort. Sorry, sorry,
Speaker 2: you threw the m in our face. And then he
Speaker 2: went crotch grab.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he went, where was the vicinity, Like, that's Baker
Speaker 1: Mayfield's move, crotch grab, But he went crotcher yelled South
Speaker 1: Carolina's side, and then he went crotch grab. And then
Speaker 1: he went into the locker room. And then Michigan we've
Speaker 1: had yeah, yeah, no, that'll have That's okay though, It's
Speaker 1: fine because we remember him fondly sort of We've had
Speaker 1: Brad Wing, former LSU punter, haunts and get a touchdown
Speaker 1: called back on a fake punt. We've had North Carolina's
Speaker 1: kicker in the win over Florida a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: We had the Auburn kicker everybody loves chomping Florida, which
Speaker 1: it feels so good it must. I don't know, the
Speaker 1: Auburn kicker chomping over floor. So here here's the question
Speaker 1: I have for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a notable incident in twenty fifteen when
Speaker 2: Ohio State lost to Michigan State.
Speaker 1: You might have to be more specific. It happens so often.
Speaker 2: Continue Matt Geiger kicked a game winning field goal and
Speaker 2: then ran the full length of the field.
Speaker 1: Doing like the windmill thing.
Speaker 2: Does that countess? Is he really taunting or is he
Speaker 2: just celebrating? By his own much.
Speaker 1: Of a difference? Really is there? When a kicker is celebrating,
Speaker 1: everybody's like, holy shit, this kicker is sticking it to me,
Speaker 1: like this kicker feels so confident being alone on the sideline,
Speaker 1: constantly only being a two star during the recruiting process,
Speaker 1: having to be scouted out of a camp in like Australia,
Speaker 1: and here is his moment to shine, and he shines,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna celebrate however he wants, and he celebrates,
Speaker 1: and that sticks it to every single person the crowd
Speaker 1: who's disappointed. So I have to say, yes, it can't
Speaker 1: just be a fist pump. It can't just be celebrating
Speaker 1: what's teammates. But if he's running the length of the field,
Speaker 1: and to be honest, they've probably exhausted him doing it,
Speaker 1: yeah that counts. Okay, So it's a happy moment, a.
Speaker 2: Broad definition of the kicker taunt, yes, splash celebration.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, it's not gonna do well for me, but
Speaker 1: it's gonna raise me so much happening. When it happens,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get a million tweets. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: It'll be totally worth it. So yucker and punter taunting.

Speaker 1: Man this is what.
Speaker 2: So we're on pick number seven, with the seventh pick
Speaker 2: in the twenty eighteen Fantasy Things Draft, Taylor.
Speaker 1: That was a great bit of timing with good timing,
Speaker 1: Shoot time, Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dan Rubinstein selects Will mush Champ has seen the lights.
Speaker 1: So every year there's a coach who says to the world, Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do things differently.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's Hull Kogan brother, but I
Speaker 1: mean you sort of you look at him and you're
Speaker 1: like that. That's how he probably talks. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: go up tempo, we're gonna spread things out, we're gonna
Speaker 1: get the ball to our playmakers in space. I don't
Speaker 1: know that he fully knows what he's saying. When he
Speaker 1: says that right, and it only succeeds like Kansas gets
Speaker 1: the ball to playmakers in space theoretically, and there's something
Speaker 1: wonderful about like obviously Will Musham doesn't want to run
Speaker 1: this offense like this. No, he wants to put fifty
Speaker 1: three guards in at one time and see if that works.
Speaker 1: So he's almost like mister incredible sitting behind a desk,
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be there, doesn't want to be doing this,
Speaker 1: and is gritting his teeth saying we're gonna sprint the
Speaker 1: ball out, We're gonna get the ball.
Speaker 2: What cracks me up about this pick is if you
Speaker 2: did an ancestry DNA of your first first pick. This
Speaker 2: is definitely a second cousin of strength coach with a
Speaker 2: screw lest Oh yeah, I mean really, yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: this is all about.
Speaker 1: Will mus Champa is a strength coach with like seven
Speaker 1: more credits. That's right. Like he went to summer school
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh I can do trig. Yeah
Speaker 1: he couldn't, but he got it passing right. How do
Speaker 1: we think South Carolina is going to do this year?
Speaker 1: I think they'll do pretty good. I like them. I
Speaker 1: feel like you like South Carolina players. I love Deebo Samuel.
Speaker 1: I think Jake Bentley is fine. I think their defense
Speaker 1: has enough experience. They've they've recruited top twenty five classes,
Speaker 1: and their schedule is super easy, very easy. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: have a good time.
Speaker 2: I'm struck by the number of South Carolina emails we've
Speaker 2: gotten early in the year, Like the season hasn't already
Speaker 2: it hasn't even started yet, right, We've already done all
Speaker 2: of our previews, mind you, but this is sort of
Speaker 2: an indicat that there might be some validity to this
Speaker 2: that other South Carolina fans are feeling that maybe something,
Speaker 2: maybe he's seen the way, maybe there's been maybe an
Speaker 2: epiphany of some sorts, because they're emailing us asking for
Speaker 2: more information on South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Remember seeing tweets of people at South Carolina spring practice going, hey,
Speaker 1: watch out, guys, they're moving quickly. They're really they're snapping
Speaker 1: the ball over and over again, and like they're playing
Speaker 1: against third stringers on their on the same team replex.
Speaker 1: A little bit no and the new the South Carolina
Speaker 1: emails are very nuanced annoyance because we're like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty good, and they're like pretty good. This
Speaker 1: is the South Carolina game Cocks. We've had two good
Speaker 1: years and fifty years. Show some respect. That's what I
Speaker 1: hear when we get like the very strange.
Speaker 2: We got that, We got that email, got that email
Speaker 2: multiple times, and the.
Speaker 1: Guy and listen, I like that people email us and
Speaker 1: share their opinions dot com. We very rarely get follow
Speaker 1: ups where we don't respond for whatever reason. And it's
Speaker 1: just like and it was like a very corporate, like, hey,
Speaker 1: just wanted to circle back on my my South Carolina annoyance. Uh,
Speaker 1: just if you guys had any thoughts, so giving up?
Speaker 3: Go Cox?
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you guys sleep on it? Or I forgot
Speaker 1: about that?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was it was surprisingly corporate. It was like, hey,
Speaker 1: just uh you know, so we respond a very nice gentleman. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like a really in depth fan. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: like that. I like that. He was great. He treated
Speaker 1: it like an inter office email. Yeah all right, all right,
Speaker 1: go a bush Champ give it up? Yeah, okay to
Speaker 1: pick us in. I love this and this is ties
Speaker 1: pick I love that. This was Tie's suggestion and Tye
Speaker 1: Hilton Brandt with what is this the eighth overall pick Yes,
Speaker 1: ron eighth has selected studio host has trouble controlling touch screen.
Speaker 1: Holy shit, is that a good pick? Tie again? And
Speaker 1: you're gonna explain this. It might happen four times, it
Speaker 1: might happen thirty seven times, but even if it happens once,
Speaker 1: it's totally worth it, because please explain yourself.
Speaker 2: I thought this one up after waking up at three
Speaker 2: forty five in the morning to catch an early morning
Speaker 2: Friday flight into town here. So it was a little
Speaker 2: punchy and a little sleep deprived. But you know how
Speaker 2: pretty much every studio show and this is not just
Speaker 2: unique to sports.
Speaker 1: This is a cross and coverage Sean channel.
Speaker 2: But you know, we've advanced as a society now where
Speaker 2: we can not only put a man on a moon,
Speaker 2: but we can, you know, put allegedly we could put,
Speaker 2: we could put in everyone's pocket a touch screen that
Speaker 2: you can use the communicyes we have somehow not advanced
Speaker 2: to the point where they can scale that up into
Speaker 2: a jumbo studio grade size and still somehow make it workable.
Speaker 2: And I really truly feel every time, let's throw it
Speaker 2: back to ad Nan verk Ye out in the stuet.
Speaker 2: Let's see what's going on let's get a game break.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if ESPN has rankings of futility of
Speaker 1: guys trying to use.
Speaker 2: But it's always the same thing. So he's up there
Speaker 2: and he's like, well, let's, uh, what are your top
Speaker 2: five there? We love you ad Nan verb and he
Speaker 2: has to touch it eight times before the.
Speaker 1: Thing acted wise. See. I like it when there's an
Speaker 1: analy like I remember Chip Kelly used it last year,
Speaker 1: and I've watched you know guys on the NFL network
Speaker 1: and they're very intense. They're focused on saying, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think this is a win for the Rams. This is
Speaker 1: not a win for the Rams. Even though we're talking
Speaker 1: about college football. There is an element of like with
Speaker 1: the playoff, like I think that's Matt Berry all intensive
Speaker 1: purpose is really good at what he does. That they're
Speaker 1: so serious, especially the analysts not the hosts, that they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a highly State over TCU, and
Speaker 1: I don't care who I sorry, I have Ohio State
Speaker 1: over Team hold on, ad Nat, give me a second.
Speaker 1: I have Ohio State over No. You have to press,
Speaker 1: you have to reboot, you have to And there is
Speaker 1: something about somebody so intense about their feelings about the
Speaker 1: first playoff ranking where.
Speaker 2: It's coming out of their mouth and mind faster than
Speaker 2: the your face will allow.
Speaker 1: Right, touch the corner before you touch the team. Touch
Speaker 1: the ha. That's so good. It's gonna happen every week. Right.
Speaker 1: And then there's sometimes it's it's almost like watching a
Speaker 1: screensaver where like they grab the Ohio State rectangle, they
Speaker 1: start drag and it gets very good. Shot there, it's
Speaker 1: very get there, and then it slides back and you're
Speaker 1: just like Joey Galloway, if I have to tell you again, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I love this. It's great. It's a great pick. I
Speaker 1: think this is gonna gonna do well. Let's give a
Speaker 1: hand for touch screen. Yeah, so quickly, I think we
Speaker 1: both have four members for storylines on our rosters. Right,
Speaker 1: here's a quick look. So Jimbo Fisher, Kyler Murtough, that's
Speaker 1: other than the backup starting anywhere else. You're very good man.
Speaker 2: I really wanted that, Scott Frost, Yeah, can we trade
Speaker 2: We're going to take that out of context?
Speaker 3: We can.
Speaker 1: We can edit that out in post now here we
Speaker 1: have Yeah, we have the strength, coach. I feel pretty good,
Speaker 1: not great. I reached, but I wanted it I made
Speaker 1: a premium I did. The taunting is not going to
Speaker 1: do well for me. The muss champ, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you even score that. I think you're out ahead.
Speaker 2: I am now, yeah, but I felt like I was
Speaker 2: out ahead last year. Okay, and then then you drafted
Speaker 2: some late that you drafted the commercial with the lab
Speaker 2: code and the dancing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I remember that. That was cheating. That
Speaker 1: was virtually cheating. That did so well for me, That
Speaker 1: was so good. Yeah, that was a penny stock that
Speaker 1: really dividends.
Speaker 2: So I feel pretty good about where I'm at at
Speaker 2: that moment, but I know what's coming later, and I'm
Speaker 2: a little concerned.
Speaker 1: I was over.
Speaker 2: Confident last year, so maybe I'm being, you know, just
Speaker 2: a little bit cheapish but fair.
Speaker 1: So, as you have seen you watched the NFL draft,
Speaker 1: even the NBA draft, this happens where they bring up
Speaker 1: a guest commissioner. Ty and I have been doing this
Speaker 1: for the first eight picks, but we want to add
Speaker 1: some news. So if you could, what's Jim Harbo's official No, sorry,
Speaker 1: if you could, please give and I hope he's here.
Speaker 1: I hope he's here. A big welcome from ESPN Radio
Speaker 1: Chicago host and producer Adam Abdallah. Where is he? Where
Speaker 1: is he? He is here?
Speaker 3: Keep on going, we go? Is it Mark?
Speaker 1: I think?
Speaker 3: Whoa?
Speaker 1: We got a hot mic? Yes? Hello, excellent, Adam doing,
Speaker 1: I'm good. How's everybody doing?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just the thing you say when you get
Speaker 2: the microphone.
Speaker 6: Has it?
Speaker 1: But you get a microphone, you're supposed to say.
Speaker 6: It's kind of like, instead of saying check one too,
Speaker 6: you say, how's everybody doing?
Speaker 1: So, how's everybody doing? Boo him boo? Yeah you can boo.
Speaker 1: All right. So Adam is a guest commissioner for us
Speaker 1: for the next few picks. He is going to review
Speaker 1: the picks with us, tell us why we're dumb, tell
Speaker 1: us why the pick is brilliant. He is going to
Speaker 1: read the pick and then he I think he should
Speaker 1: both serve as the commissioner. And how's your mal hyper impression? Great? God? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean not. I'll work on it, progress work, I'll
Speaker 1: work on it here. Okay. So who's up? Am I up?
Speaker 1: I think ty? You appear to be up? Yes, I
Speaker 1: am on? Okay? Oh is the pick in? The pick
Speaker 1: is in? The pick is in?
Speaker 3: Hmmm?
Speaker 1: Do I have to get up so they can go. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I forgot that I have this pick.
Speaker 7: I love this emotion with the ninth pick in the
Speaker 7: soliverbo Fantasy Things Draft Tie drafts Herm Edwards NFL mindset.
Speaker 1: Is is I mean appropriately is he the Jimmy Clauson
Speaker 1: like just free falling Herm Edwards in this drafts? This
Speaker 1: could be this could be games before you yeah, or
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn if that makes you feel better, yeah, yeah, So.
Speaker 2: If we could recap, then that was what Brady Quinn love.
Speaker 2: We've got We've got Notre Dame shirts over here. Okay,
Speaker 2: that was not nice.
Speaker 1: He's probably very nice, all right.
Speaker 2: So the new head football coach at Arizona State is
Speaker 2: a gentleman by the name of HERM Edwards. You know,
Speaker 2: the last time Herm Edwards coach football, it was about
Speaker 2: ten years.
Speaker 1: It's been a while. It's been a while.
Speaker 2: You know. The last time her Edwards coached college football
Speaker 2: that nineteen eighty nine as an assistant at San Jose State.
Speaker 1: Yep, Adam, what year were you born? Nineteen eighty four,
Speaker 1: five years old? We all remember her Edwards? Would you
Speaker 1: say San Jose State? San San Jose State. Okay, so
Speaker 1: it's been a while for her.
Speaker 2: He's been with various broadcast outlets for the I guess
Speaker 2: duration of his stay away from football.
Speaker 1: He is sixty four years of age, sixty four years young.
Speaker 8: Yep.
Speaker 2: But even when he was a coach in the NFL,
Speaker 2: doesn't all that good?
Speaker 1: Your voice goes off when you talk about her Edwards he.
Speaker 2: Had He had eight seasons as a head football coach,
Speaker 2: only three of which were winning seasons. Most of those
Speaker 2: were in the beginning of his tenure. So it's not
Speaker 2: like we're talking about like, oh, Jimmy Johnson's going to.
Speaker 1: Back college game, right.
Speaker 2: We're talking about a guy who just is very motivational,
Speaker 2: has a way of firing people up. So this seemed
Speaker 2: a bit doomed from the start when ASU announced that
Speaker 2: they were going to high or him, because no one
Speaker 2: saw it coming. And also in the introductory press conference,
Speaker 2: the athletic director literally went up in front of whoever
Speaker 2: was watching and said, guys.
Speaker 1: This is a weird pick. I know, this is a
Speaker 1: weird hire. Could you imagine telling that to your parents
Speaker 1: the first time they met a new boyfriend or girlfriend, Like, listen, listen,
Speaker 1: just give it a chance. Some idiosyncrasies, I grant you.
Speaker 1: But he went up there, he said, I realized it's
Speaker 1: a weird pick. And then he turned it over to
Speaker 1: Herm's agent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, not HERM himself, but he turned it over to
Speaker 2: Herm's agent to sort of be like the hype man.
Speaker 1: And then he came out.
Speaker 2: He said, listen, Herm's gonna put up a lot of
Speaker 2: points in the scoreboard of life.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, the scoreboard.
Speaker 2: Own scoreboard of life. And then HERM came up and
Speaker 2: he did his little spiel. He had people, of course,
Speaker 2: feeling like they wanted to run through a wall after
Speaker 2: he get talked, because that's what he does. But still
Speaker 2: remains a bit unclear what the new quote unquote new
Speaker 2: leadership model is going to be at ASU. He's going
Speaker 2: to serve in a capacity where he's more of a
Speaker 2: head coach, more of a figurehead.
Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: I'm not totally convinced ASU should be relatively like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this year, they've got a lot back from a year ago.
Speaker 2: But I honestly have no idea which direction this whole
Speaker 2: thing's going to go. And you know, he's just motivated enough,
Speaker 2: passionate enough, that he's going to find his way into
Speaker 2: publications in national television.
Speaker 1: So to get points, somebody has to mention that he's
Speaker 1: bringing in an NFL mindset, organizational organizational structure, a different model. Yeah, Adam,
Speaker 1: who's your team? Do you have a team? I'm an
Speaker 1: Alabama fan? Oh, come on, real time? Do you root
Speaker 1: for the dealer at the casino who sometimes?
Speaker 6: Yes, it's a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun.
Speaker 6: Actually I'm rooting for the rain. My wife today just
Speaker 6: asked me. She goes, is it fun when it's the
Speaker 6: same people over and over again?
Speaker 1: I go, yeah. It's like, why are you an Alabama fan?
Speaker 1: Are you from there?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: I'm not from there, as you can tell by my accent.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I lived overseas for a while.
Speaker 6: Being back here, I had a geographically convenient friend who
Speaker 6: was an Alabama fan, and I didn't know what college
Speaker 6: football was, so I started watching Alabama real time, and
Speaker 6: so I went to Columbia College. So it's a bunch
Speaker 6: of art school kids, right, Okay, around so.
Speaker 1: Fair. Okay. I was gonna say, I was gonna ask
Speaker 1: you how you would feel if your team hired her Edwards?
Speaker 1: But it would never happen, and if it did, oh oh,
Speaker 1: would be awesome.
Speaker 6: Look, he's gonna have a great press conference, and he's
Speaker 6: going to try to do a lot of NFL things
Speaker 6: and have an NFL mindset. I just wonder if he's gonna, like,
Speaker 6: forget he's coaching college football. I think he's coaching in
Speaker 6: the NFL again and try to do NFL things.
Speaker 2: What's so funny about that is again same press conference,
Speaker 2: or maybe it was different, I don't remember, but a
Speaker 2: press conference. Somebody from Devil's Digest asked her a question.
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, man, I'm Catholic. We don't that's job.
Speaker 3: I don't do that.
Speaker 1: We don't talk about devils. I do know one thing though,
Speaker 1: and it.
Speaker 2: Was it was just unclear if he knew that that
Speaker 2: the sun Devil was the actual mascot for Arizona State.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: The one thing I do know is that he's going
Speaker 6: to teach those kids how to be men. That's the
Speaker 6: one thing I do now, and he's going to do
Speaker 6: it well.
Speaker 1: And he is going to prepare for week fourteen. Who
Speaker 1: do we got week fourteen? And like herm the seasons,
Speaker 1: I think, as as an add on to this, pick
Speaker 1: you should get twenty nineteen ASU coaching rumors, you should
Speaker 1: get a good one. We should be able to give
Speaker 1: you that as well. I agree, okay, I agree. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the pick is in. The pick is in.
Speaker 6: I'm not going to get up again. I don't like
Speaker 6: gettingbody to kind of hurt. Dan was right with the
Speaker 6: tenth pick in the solid Verbo Fantasy Things draft, Dan
Speaker 6: selects and this is written down here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is the goddamn fade. Yeah, I can't you know,
Speaker 1: you know, I hate describing gifts out loud. Gifts jeffs
Speaker 1: I don't care. With a Jaguar fan. NFL is just
Speaker 1: like what do we anytime you watch your team on
Speaker 1: third and goal, fourth and goal, throw it to nobody
Speaker 1: in the corner of the end zone, just up in
Speaker 1: the vicinity towards the pylon. Yeah, it's an ulcer. It
Speaker 1: works nine percent, you know, point oh oh nine percent
Speaker 1: of time. And that man kills me. He did it
Speaker 1: at Oregon, he did it at cal he did it
Speaker 1: when he was a special fade coordinator at Washington, and
Speaker 1: like there has you know, three out of one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty seven quarterbacks are probably pretty good at throwing faith.
Speaker 2: It's like the most carnal of football plays. You know,
Speaker 2: you just you've got a big dude, go.
Speaker 1: Up and get it.
Speaker 2: But in college you don't always have a lot of
Speaker 2: big dudes that can go up and get it.
Speaker 1: Think about the number of hours these guys spend in
Speaker 1: their offices watching film drawing up plays. Flood the zone, right,
Speaker 1: flood the zone left, pick places. Yeah, running ourpos they're
Speaker 1: running crossing right, whatever, the running seam man whatever. And
Speaker 1: then in a crucial moment, they're like, why don't we
Speaker 1: just throw it to the pylon, throw it to the
Speaker 1: Why don't we just we're overthinking things and you know what,
Speaker 1: this pick is going to be a cash cow. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean the funny thing about this pick is when
Speaker 2: the team goes after third down into a timeout after
Speaker 2: running the fade that third down, and they're.
Speaker 1: Like, should we go for it? Here comes something special?
Speaker 1: What is what are we going to do next?
Speaker 2: Just another fase, another fame, fourth, one goal line, let's
Speaker 2: go fade yet again. Is there a more defensive offensive
Speaker 2: play in college football or football as a whole.
Speaker 1: Now, because the quarterback can sort of blame the receiver,
Speaker 1: the receiver can sort of blame the quarterback. The coordinator
Speaker 1: can blame the timing, and everybody just blames each other.
Speaker 1: And that's why it is the worse. And that's why
Speaker 1: I took it, because it's gonna happen. He's a he's
Speaker 1: a head coach. Once again, Jeff Tedford, get out of here.
Speaker 1: At least you get points out of than you hate. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. It will give me some fulfillment. I think
Speaker 1: the pick is.
Speaker 6: In Yes, with the eleventh pick in the solid verbal
Speaker 6: Fantasy Things Draft, Dan Selex, Dean Blandino is wrong.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: I almost feel like we can just go to the
Speaker 1: next pick because everybody's like, yes, of course, that is
Speaker 1: a pick that should happen. This is a thing that
Speaker 1: we should celebrate a guy who looks like that being
Speaker 1: wrong about something he's very confident in. Okay, So for
Speaker 1: the uninitiated, I'm looking at you because you're here against
Speaker 1: your will. I'm gonna explain this out because it brings
Speaker 1: me happiness once again. Dean Blandino is the former NFL
Speaker 1: head of rules and now he's doing stuff for the NCAA.
Speaker 1: But part of that means he's doing things for Fox Sports,
Speaker 1: and he is the Mike Pereira. He comes in, they
Speaker 1: cut into his little studio set up when there's a
Speaker 1: questionable call and the reps are reviewing things, and he says, well,
Speaker 1: from my angle, from what I can see, it's definitely targeting.
Speaker 1: And then so often they go back to the fields
Speaker 1: and the rep's like, no, it was not targeted. We
Speaker 1: have never seen a moment that was less targeting. They
Speaker 1: didn't even touch and like sometimes Dean Blandino will come
Speaker 1: back to him He's like, yeah, I don't know. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's just for the moment. Yeah, it's yeah, it's tough,
Speaker 1: tough under the hood. First of all, his name is
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino. And being able to say Dean Blandino wrong again,
Speaker 1: like Blandino as like the great Blandino sounds like a magician.
Speaker 1: It sounds like the worst magician. And in a way,
Speaker 1: isn't he because he turns correct calls into.
Speaker 2: You could really run the gamut from magician to car
Speaker 2: dealership with a name like blandis.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Blandino. He I can't even save Blandino without
Speaker 1: losing it. Uh yeah, I am again, I am I'm
Speaker 1: mopping things up right now.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I think a lot like the touchscreen guys.
Speaker 6: Blandino and the rest of the guys that do this
Speaker 6: for the NFL, for the various networks need their own
Speaker 6: scoring system. So they should get like a right and wrong,
Speaker 6: and they should when they say, when the ref eventually
Speaker 6: goes no, that wasn't targeting. It should be you should
Speaker 6: get a little check mark in the you're wrong, and
Speaker 6: you should add it up so by the end of
Speaker 6: the season, you know how many times Deem Blandino was
Speaker 6: actually wrong.
Speaker 1: And do you know what he does at the end
Speaker 1: of the season, teaches referees for the nc double a.
Speaker 1: Oh it's wonderful. Oh ty, this is a good pick.
Speaker 2: When we saw this pick last night and we're putting
Speaker 2: this together out and this is another giggle fest for
Speaker 2: me yep, which is a weird way to phrase it,
Speaker 2: but yeah, that was I'm like, oh god, this giggle fest.
Speaker 1: This is gonna kill me. This is gonna kill me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dean Landino, Dean Blandino, and ladies and gentlemen, please do
Speaker 1: not boo but give a very enthusiastic warm applause, Madam Dollar.
Speaker 1: Well time now that you can boo him about that,
Speaker 1: that's fine. Listen to him on the radio. He's very good.
Speaker 1: Should we bring up another commissioner?
Speaker 2: We do have another commissioner. Do you have another Chicago
Speaker 2: native with us? He's been featured on the program before,
Speaker 2: he's been featured at a live show before. Would you
Speaker 2: like to introduce our next commissioner?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's America's sweetheart, Adam a meme?
Speaker 3: Is he here? Thanks?
Speaker 1: We'll get a cress. You can see my legs.
Speaker 8: So you decided to dress like a substitute teacher, and
Speaker 8: I decided to dress like it was the first day
Speaker 8: of school.
Speaker 1: There's a sticker where that came. How's it going, man?
Speaker 1: Everything's going great. How are you guys doing?
Speaker 8: That's what you're supposed to say right where it does
Speaker 8: worry automatically elicits a response, whether they want to or not.
Speaker 1: Who is Adam?
Speaker 8: I mean?
Speaker 2: Adam Aman is noted college football broadcaster for ESPN and
Speaker 2: solid verbal favorite. So we sort of had this thing
Speaker 2: with Adam. We do what we call a secret verbal
Speaker 2: on our show. Okay, where it's a long show and
Speaker 2: we're not totally convinced people are still listening to us
Speaker 2: at you know, this seventy five minute mark, right, So
Speaker 2: maybe if we've run around the threshold, I think is
Speaker 2: why where it comes to people are like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm already at work and I'm not going to listen
Speaker 2: while I'm there. We decide that we're going to just
Speaker 2: throw out an Easter egg in our show. And if
Speaker 2: in fact, if in fact you're still listening and you
Speaker 2: have the Twitters, why not just go ahead and tweet
Speaker 2: this random thing at this random person untraceable.
Speaker 1: Basically, it's very mean.
Speaker 8: It is very mean, but it was tremendously clandestine, Like
Speaker 8: I had no idea what was happening. I was in
Speaker 8: a hotel room in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, getting ready for
Speaker 8: Clemson Boston College when suddenly my phone started to blow up.
Speaker 1: And what did What did we ask ask people to beefy?
Speaker 8: No milk, It's different, that's yeah. It was milkshakes. When
Speaker 8: can we I had various questions like when can we
Speaker 8: share a milkshake? If you and I were to share
Speaker 8: a milkshake in this fantasy world that we have somehow
Speaker 8: constructed via social media, what kind of milkshake would you
Speaker 8: and I consume? And would we do it through one
Speaker 8: or two straws?
Speaker 1: We're not good people tying my preference, by the way,
Speaker 1: is one. So eventually we tell people and sometimes people
Speaker 1: get annoyed and start blocking people. Sometimes people send angry
Speaker 1: emails or direct messages whatever. Adam responded positively, and he
Speaker 1: was just like, I don't know, Oreo.
Speaker 8: I I think I retweeted every single one just for
Speaker 8: the sake. I was like, I don't know exactly what's
Speaker 8: happening right now because I hadn't heard the episode up
Speaker 8: until that moment. But I committed to I said, you
Speaker 8: know what, I'm just gonna keep retweeting this until somebody slipped.
Speaker 8: I think somebody, unfortunately, maybe they're in this room right now,
Speaker 8: they slipped and said you should listen to uh a
Speaker 8: particular pot and it was, of course, yeah, somebody's always like, OK.
Speaker 8: It happened in a very short amount of time, like
Speaker 8: within a couple hours. I was like, I didn't It
Speaker 8: didn't register to me right away. And then somebody said
Speaker 8: podcast and I said, you son of it. I knew
Speaker 8: it right away and uh and from then on you
Speaker 8: I feel like I feel like we've been connected at
Speaker 8: the hip.
Speaker 1: We messaged him and we had him on and basically
Speaker 1: Adam was like, you harassed me with milkshake requests. Can
Speaker 1: we be friends? That's the kind of.
Speaker 8: Person which is which is typically the way to my heart,
Speaker 8: I think more than anything else.
Speaker 1: All right, So should we have the pick come in?
Speaker 1: My pick?
Speaker 8: It is ties P and the pick is in with
Speaker 8: the twelfth pick in the twenty eighteen Fantasy Things draft,
Speaker 8: Ty Hillebrand selects announcers flub digital trends.
Speaker 1: Yes, which I need a significant level of context for it,
Speaker 1: if you please.
Speaker 2: There may or may not be a reason that we
Speaker 2: brought you up here to announce this pick, being so
Speaker 2: you are an announcer.
Speaker 1: A good one.
Speaker 2: When I came up with this, I was thinking specifically
Speaker 2: about Sean McDonough and Todd Blackledge trying to talk about Fortnite.
Speaker 1: He knows those people. This is to me what Dean
Speaker 1: Blandino is to Dan.
Speaker 8: This is going to stick with me for the rest
Speaker 8: of the night, potentially the rest of the week, and
Speaker 8: definitely when Sean McDonough shows up on opening day when
Speaker 8: he's doing Miami in LSU with Todd black Leedgen and
Speaker 8: Holly Row, I am going to just start laughing uncontrollable.
Speaker 2: Because there there was an incident I don't remember when
Speaker 2: it was, but way back when with Blackledge, where Mike
Speaker 2: Patrick just randomly starts talking about.
Speaker 1: Britt want to say it was.
Speaker 8: It was during a Georgia game, I think two thousand
Speaker 8: and eight or two thousand and nine in that range,
Speaker 8: in a crucial moment of every Georgia game.
Speaker 2: He's like in her career, and Todd Blackledge goes to
Speaker 2: like this pregnant pause, like what.
Speaker 1: I don't know, why do I care?
Speaker 8: I think that might have been a direct quote Todd
Speaker 8: would why do we care about that? Right now, there's
Speaker 8: twenty seconds left in this game and they're lining up
Speaker 8: for a field.
Speaker 2: Goal, and then Mike Patrick just went right into the
Speaker 2: call like it never.
Speaker 8: Happened, like it never existed at any point ever during
Speaker 8: the broadcast.
Speaker 2: So I'm not talking specific to McDonough and Blackledge, both
Speaker 2: of whom are legendary broadcasters in their own right. But
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking, like, especially the Fortnite thing is of
Speaker 2: course very popular as a video game for people who
Speaker 2: aren't on the up and up with this thing.
Speaker 1: I tried it. I'm terrible. It's like Simms meets GoldenEye?
Speaker 1: Is that what it's sort of non The look of doubles,
Speaker 1: build worlds and shoot people with crossbows. Kind of.
Speaker 2: It's really hard, okay, And every time I try to
Speaker 2: get dusted by like a twelve year old and Holland.
Speaker 8: My eleven year old nephew beats me every single time
Speaker 8: and then proceeds to talk trash and it really does
Speaker 8: hurt my feelings.
Speaker 1: So here's what's.
Speaker 2: Funny about this. So this is what kind of got
Speaker 2: me thinking digital trends. There's more digital trends in just fortnite.
Speaker 2: But if you google college football in Fortnite.
Speaker 1: It's a big deal.
Speaker 2: You will see the alarming number of articles that have
Speaker 2: been written. There was one in USA today by our
Speaker 2: friend Paul Meyerberg wrote a really cool article on like, yeah,
Speaker 2: teams are really getting into this, and then there are
Speaker 2: other people who are like taking it to step further,
Speaker 2: Like what can Ohio State learn from their fortnite strategy?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is gonna be as there's a
Speaker 2: seamy Fortnite underbelly of college football is is just now
Speaker 2: being discovered by those who weren't on the up and up.
Speaker 2: So at some point, somehow, some way, there are gonna
Speaker 2: be poor announcers who are forced into talking.
Speaker 1: About this, and it's going to be awkward. It could
Speaker 1: be you.
Speaker 8: So my I have a new partner this year. I'm
Speaker 8: working with Rod Gilmour this season, which can and if
Speaker 8: I bring up Fortnite, I'm very excited to see what
Speaker 8: my what my brand new partner, Rod Gilmore has to
Speaker 8: say about fortnitem hm. But it's not just so feel
Speaker 8: free to to I mean, I feel like you're you're
Speaker 8: giving you, I'm giving them a disadvanta or someone I'm
Speaker 8: giving Dan a disadvantage of. Because you can alter this,
Speaker 8: I'm basically altering the state of your fantasy. We count
Speaker 8: Adam a mean, yeah, Adam is exempts from this, he's
Speaker 8: too close. Yeah, I think I think Adam is recused
Speaker 8: from this. I will recuse myself. I will recuse myself
Speaker 8: from the Fortnite reference.
Speaker 1: Think of the number of stories where something comes out
Speaker 1: in an Instagram story or on Snapchat, or on Facebook
Speaker 1: or on god knows whatever new app comes out and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Tim Brando is faced like could
Speaker 1: you imagine showing Tim Brando an app store and be like,
Speaker 1: all right, go to town. Timmy's like, ah, bless, we
Speaker 1: had another one and we're to go through our undrafted
Speaker 1: free agents. And I don't know if it made the list,
Speaker 1: but somebody suggested any play by play announcer calling the
Speaker 1: analyst Pardoner brats of Brett Musburger every week it's Musburger,
Speaker 1: it's Neesler, and I just I would want any if
Speaker 1: any of those other play by play guys are listening,
Speaker 1: just bring up Instagram stories and see.
Speaker 8: What they I was flipping through the gram today and
Speaker 8: if you hear that, that's probably an undrafted free agent somewhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just like a shorthand for it. But this extends
Speaker 1: to not only the video game thing, not only social media, right,
Speaker 1: but like wearable technology. Of course GBS Schip Kelly is
Speaker 1: really instituting an uppace system at UCLA, but he's doing
Speaker 1: it through technology. So there's a whole bunch of different
Speaker 1: ten going to get. The older guy is saying I
Speaker 1: don't use face scram or insta smash or snap book,
Speaker 1: and they think it's funny, and it is, but it
Speaker 1: becomes tiring, tied. Do we have a pick that's in.
Speaker 2: We do have a pick, but I want to get
Speaker 2: around of a plug to this because I have got this.
Speaker 8: Plus it's well, wait, I want to time this one
Speaker 8: out with Taylor, like Tye does with the thirteenth pick
Speaker 8: in the twenty eighteen Fantasy Things Draft.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 8: Right on cue, ty Hildebrand selects Notre Dame quarterback questions sars, Oh,
Speaker 8: how deep is?
Speaker 1: How deep into the season are we going to get?
Speaker 1: I know before that? How deep into game one against
Speaker 1: Michigan are we going to get? Before we start getting
Speaker 1: one of these?
Speaker 2: In keeping with tradition, I have selected the most bitterly
Speaker 2: sarcastic Notre Dame item available on the board.
Speaker 1: Just tie work on Saints. This isn't an actual pick now.
Speaker 2: So we came up with a couple of different ways
Speaker 2: that we thought we might want to word this, And
Speaker 2: originally it was Brian Kelly's quick hook m, which I
Speaker 2: think could apply here.
Speaker 1: It did apply. I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: At the end of last year we decided to keep
Speaker 2: it broad and go with quarterback. So here here is
Speaker 2: where we last left the boys in South Bend. When
Speaker 2: we last left the Boys in South Bend, the gold
Speaker 2: Dome crew, Yeah, the Golden Domes, on and on and
Speaker 2: on and on.
Speaker 8: Honey, honey, I think the old football game was on
Speaker 8: the television too.
Speaker 1: But taken out of the box, I don't know how
Speaker 1: to use it. What are all these crazy knobs? Yeah? Sorry,
Speaker 1: keep going.
Speaker 8: I heard Glenn Miller's playing tonight said a little too
Speaker 8: far inside for some of.
Speaker 1: The I did in the mood. Keep going. When we last.
Speaker 2: The boys in South Bend, the hero was a backup quarterback.
Speaker 2: The hero in the Citrus Bowl was he in book
Speaker 2: of course Notre name is backup. Now he didn't play
Speaker 2: most of the year. Their starting quarterback was Brandon Wimbush,
Speaker 2: who brand Brandon Wimbush looked good in spots, and he
Speaker 2: was a prolific runner, ran for eight hundred plus yards,
Speaker 2: had fourteen touchdowns on the ground. To his credit, he
Speaker 2: also did throw for sixteen touchdowns. But he just he
Speaker 2: never it didn't feel like he got better at any
Speaker 2: point in time, and he never particularly got much more confident.
Speaker 2: You know, he always seemed like a scared bunny back
Speaker 2: there when in the face of a blitz or a
Speaker 2: key situation. And so this is kind of like for
Speaker 2: people who follow Notre Dame football, it's like, I don't
Speaker 2: know how I feel about this in a key situation,
Speaker 2: we know now how Brian Kelly felt about it in
Speaker 2: a key situation in some spots late, particularly that Bowl
Speaker 2: game when he went to the backup quarterback Ian Booke.
Speaker 2: Ian Book comes in throws for one hundred and.
Speaker 1: Sixty games Bowl. I'll tell you this is a big one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he throws for one hundred and sixty four
Speaker 2: yards two touchdowns, one of which was an acrobatic catch
Speaker 2: by Miles Boykin to win the football game.
Speaker 1: He's the hero. He came in, he had a swagger.
Speaker 1: So now all off season has been.
Speaker 2: Percolating, like what do we do with the quarterback situation.
Speaker 2: We've seen this play before from Brian Kelly, and it
Speaker 2: didn't work out very well a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: John kyliks Er, So I'm a little worried about this, Dan,
Speaker 2: I'm a little worried about where this ends up going,
Speaker 2: because not only do we now have Brandon Wimbush who
Speaker 2: played most of the year, we all have Ian Book
Speaker 2: who came in in a tight spot and did very
Speaker 2: well for himself. And we have the unicorn, the true freshman,
Speaker 2: who we haven't seen him play yet, but he's always
Speaker 2: a very popular guy on the team. Phil Jerkovic, who's
Speaker 2: from Western Pennsylvania. We got a clap. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 2: I'll be I'll be in on that train by week three.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so there's just like a lot of variables and
Speaker 2: I'm not totally confident in Brian Kelly's ability to deal
Speaker 2: with those questions.
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a thing. Thank you,
Speaker 1: This is going to be a thing.
Speaker 3: Sorry for you here time.
Speaker 8: Where is your level of concern for the rest? I mean,
Speaker 8: two offensive linemen that are top ten picks. You lost
Speaker 8: your lead running which by the way, could have been
Speaker 8: a Fantasy things pick too.
Speaker 1: Two lineman.
Speaker 8: Hey, you got Notre Dame offensive line coach now the
Speaker 8: offensive line coach in Chicago Eastan and I talked to
Speaker 8: him the other day. He said, those are the two
Speaker 8: best offensive linemen I've coached in my entire career. Yeah,
Speaker 8: and that's that says a lot. And granted when they're
Speaker 8: both top ten draft I don't think.
Speaker 3: I hear that.
Speaker 5: I hear you.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna text Mike and let him go.
Speaker 8: You really need to listen right around one hour and
Speaker 8: twenty four minute mark, just to get that that.
Speaker 1: Shot fired right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm I'm I'm not as concerned about
Speaker 2: the line. You lose two top ten picks, that's a
Speaker 2: big deal. But they have recruited really well along that line.
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be fine. Defensively, they should
Speaker 2: be pretty stout as well, even though their offensive or
Speaker 2: excuse me, their defensive coordinator went down to Jim Fisher
Speaker 2: in Texas.
Speaker 3: A and M.
Speaker 1: But the guy who came in is a Mike Elcho. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean it's disciples.
Speaker 2: There's enough continuity to feel pretty good about it.
Speaker 1: So the team is going to be good.
Speaker 2: It just feels like the real limiting factor is going
Speaker 2: to be that quarterback position. And so with all the
Speaker 2: pressure kind of coming down on Bush and then by extension,
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly, I'm worried.
Speaker 8: You've literally become the LSU of independent football team. Oh,
Speaker 8: I don't know who got that reposition. Every position is
Speaker 8: filled out with an All American type player except for
Speaker 8: the one position that you are concerned with.
Speaker 1: By the way, Brandon Wimbush could be the starter on LSU.
Speaker 1: That's true, book, that's true. I am so after hearing
Speaker 1: a lot about Notre Dame. Who was talking to you
Speaker 1: about Notre Dame? Dan just out of curious talking at
Speaker 1: me I just want the end result of this strapt
Speaker 1: to be like an Oklahoma drill between touch Screen and Blandino.
Speaker 1: That's all I want, just week after week, just mashing
Speaker 1: each other. That's all I want. Good pick, it's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Excellent pick. Don't don't clap for that, Please don't keep
Speaker 1: it to yourself. This is a moment of silence for
Speaker 1: the thirteenth pick. Yeah, this is this is the final pick.
Speaker 1: Now the pick is in, but we have undrafted free
Speaker 1: agents and a Q and A. The pick is in. Ooh,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 8: With the fourteenth and final pick in the twenty eighteen
Speaker 8: Fantasy Things Draft, Dan Rubinstein selects overly emphatic Tunga Byloa.
Speaker 1: Tunguea Biloa, tonguea Biloa.
Speaker 8: Because let me tell you, when an announcer finally learns
Speaker 8: this name, Oh, do we drill this name like there
Speaker 8: is no tomorrow.
Speaker 1: To a Tonga Byloa has taken over.
Speaker 8: At quarterback for Alabama h and by the way, could
Speaker 8: be starting on any other team in the country, so
Speaker 8: that could.
Speaker 1: Be a double whammy for it. There was always something
Speaker 1: great about Brent Mosberger, which is why we have him
Speaker 1: on there. When he clicks with the name, as Adam mentioned,
Speaker 1: and last year it happened for me on our show
Speaker 1: when I was like, all right, Hercules, mataafa Hercules, and
Speaker 1: then it was just like Hercules matava. And it feels
Speaker 1: so good to say.
Speaker 2: Well, the other thing we've talked about this on our show.
Speaker 2: I think former MLB commentator John Miller, Yes, legends still
Speaker 2: still works for the Giants on radio. John Miller gets
Speaker 2: a little too into the Spanish accent.
Speaker 8: He does, Oh, Miguel Tata, Tata, I've never heard Peltron,
Speaker 8: Carlos Peltron and won Ouri Babe.
Speaker 1: That was probably my favorite one. Did you ever see
Speaker 1: the SNL sketch where I think it was Jimmy Smith's
Speaker 1: and it was like an office party and they brought
Speaker 1: in Mexican food and he was like, yeah, I think
Speaker 1: I'll have some Hingi lad Us and it was wonderful.
Speaker 1: And there is an element of that with these announcers
Speaker 1: to a tongue Malo the youngster from the Islands, and
Speaker 1: it's going to happen every do you have an Alabama game?
Speaker 1: I did last year.
Speaker 8: I did two of his first game and the National championshiphip,
Speaker 8: so I had it down pad, so I emphasized it
Speaker 8: as soon as he came in, and like, I think
Speaker 8: he came into the second quarter. They're playing Jeff Tedford'
Speaker 8: Spresno State Bulldogs at home, and as soon as he
Speaker 8: came in, we were like, oh, we are ready for this.
Speaker 8: We are gonna nail this. The stories of Marcus Mariota,
Speaker 8: Buddy and Hawaiian. We had everything, and then Anthony becked
Speaker 8: my my paw was filling in on a crew that weekend,
Speaker 8: and Anthony Beck ended up saying it incorrectly the first time.
Speaker 8: Not to throw Anthony under the buzz too much, because
Speaker 8: we got it eventually together.
Speaker 1: But by the way, Marcus Mariota's first game starting was
Speaker 1: a Joe test game. Who's doing Monday night football?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Who's who is the money? I think I know exactly
Speaker 1: what you're gonna say. Four quarters we got to Marcus
Speaker 1: Mariotta Maria. I think he was doing that in the
Speaker 1: booths and what was so what was so great about
Speaker 1: that when he first came out, when Marcus first took
Speaker 1: the field, Joe said it that way and then said,
Speaker 1: and folks, that is how you pronounced his name. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you about how history and kindness work with
Speaker 1: that annunciation Mario ta.
Speaker 8: And that is, folks, how you pronounce his name? And
Speaker 8: I'm like, no, well, Joe, it's not gonna do well.
Speaker 8: That was wonderful.
Speaker 2: We we kicked around a few other two options. Yes,
Speaker 2: this was clearly the strongest. Hep me just do his
Speaker 2: name like the name is.
Speaker 1: It's like the low hanging fruit. But it's this will
Speaker 1: this will be a thing. Can we tell the rosters?
Speaker 1: The final rosters? By the way, look okay, here we
Speaker 1: have you finished. The people are hissing, oh a saucy
Speaker 1: tungled by loa the herms NFL in this. I don't
Speaker 1: know how often that's gonna happen back half of the season.
Speaker 1: If they're bad, they're not gonna Oh, they might make
Speaker 1: fun of the great Blandino is really good. Great, it's
Speaker 1: so good. I'll tell you I can, I can. I
Speaker 1: give you a quick quick analysis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, give us some third party analysis here.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure how much we're gonna see the first
Speaker 8: one for you, Dan, the crazy strength coach Loose. I'm
Speaker 8: not sure how often we're gonna see it. I mean
Speaker 8: he is, I mean now when we get it? Yeah, oh,
Speaker 8: they are gonna blow it out, yes, and and and
Speaker 8: mark your announced crews when Holly Row does a game.
Speaker 8: So that's what Sean mcdonnn and Todd Black that you
Speaker 8: can almost count on there being a strength coach reference
Speaker 8: at some point because typically they do big games.
Speaker 1: They'll always do a big game.
Speaker 8: Oftentimes they'll have an SEC game and oftentimes is that's
Speaker 8: when we talk about the strength and conditioning coaches because
Speaker 8: everybody's heard so much about Nick Saban and g and
Speaker 8: Gus Mel's on and we've already heard the entire story
Speaker 8: about every coaching staff in the SEC.
Speaker 1: So where do we go. We go straight to the
Speaker 1: crazy strength.
Speaker 8: So SEC games and the Holly Row games I think
Speaker 8: are big and they're gonna blow those out. So that's
Speaker 8: where I think you're gonna make your hay more often
Speaker 8: than not on that. I love the taunting kickers and punters.
Speaker 8: For you new Muss champs, great, the Blandino is gonna
Speaker 8: win you a lot of points, I guarantee for those
Speaker 8: of you watching those the Big Game on Fox every weekend.
Speaker 8: And then for Tie Jim, that's a sterling number one
Speaker 8: pick seventy five because that's solid, right, that's just gotta
Speaker 8: go solid. The biggest storyline of Texas A and M.
Speaker 8: They make the most money just about of any college program.
Speaker 8: They went all out on this head coaching higher in
Speaker 8: terms of money and length of contract. That's gonna be
Speaker 8: talked about relentlessly. They're gonna show Kyler baseball pictures. I'm
Speaker 8: I'm feeling I'm feeling tie in the in the early going.
Speaker 8: Should we take a straw pole here?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we know now? No, we just
Speaker 1: got a polite, smattering high team who thinks HI team
Speaker 1: wins this. There are a couple of people who have
Speaker 1: just voted president. Yeah, where are my bland nights?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: I think you have that? I know, I think you
Speaker 1: have it. Okay, fair? Do we want to Adam can
Speaker 1: stay up here? Do you want to blitz through our
Speaker 1: undrafted free agents real quick?
Speaker 2: So we've got like a big list here, Like we
Speaker 2: really put some effort in this, and there were many
Speaker 2: that didn't make the cut.
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's go. Mike Leach says or tweets something
Speaker 1: wacky or problematic. Yeah, sh always a good BETI Kelly
Speaker 1: went forty six and seven at Oregon.
Speaker 2: Everybody knows this, this one could be like this one steal. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Khali Khalil Tate is Kevin Sumlan's new Johnny Manzel.
Speaker 1: Guess who has Khalil Tate? Week one?
Speaker 8: That is going to be a direct quote now from
Speaker 8: in that broadcast. We're polluting college football.
Speaker 1: That's what it comes down to. We become friends with
Speaker 1: people who get effect things. That's very bad.
Speaker 8: So do I do I have to go on administrative
Speaker 8: leave now too? Is that what's gonna end up happening?
Speaker 1: Oh, he's gonna cut that from the broad Sea. It's
Speaker 1: gone bad week everybody, It was a bad week. Yeah, Next,
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh's make or break season has to be Yeah.
Speaker 1: The seat continues to get hotter. Do we have any
Speaker 1: Michigan fans here?
Speaker 3: I know?
Speaker 1: Man, Do you think it's really a make or break
Speaker 1: season for Jim Harba? No, not really, I don't either know.
Speaker 8: He makes too much money and and he does too
Speaker 8: much to bring in more revenue in terms of publicity
Speaker 8: for the program.
Speaker 2: Turnover chain variations and sideline prompts.
Speaker 1: We had the Kanasas State turnover plank, which is so
Speaker 1: much better than the chain.
Speaker 2: Next, marching band gets in trouble for a halftime show
Speaker 2: or anything considered distasteful like that.
Speaker 1: It's only Sandford though, that's not a great pick.
Speaker 2: Like ans it says, have you lightning delay with shots
Speaker 2: of lightning and fans.
Speaker 1: Heading out of seats.
Speaker 8: I like that, again, not high frequency, but a heavy
Speaker 8: hitter when it does show up, Yes, footage or a.
Speaker 2: Photo of a player's parent playing college or pro sports.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that a lot of Patrick Mahomes' money there,
Speaker 1: Patrick Sirtan, Patrick Surtan, you're gonna get some cash with that.
Speaker 1: Next Lane Kiffin Twitter trolling, Yeah, obviously early and often
Speaker 1: here you go at him.
Speaker 2: Camera captures fan yelling profanity or giving the finger.
Speaker 8: When we did Washington State USC last year on our
Speaker 8: Friday night package, I think we had seven separate shots
Speaker 8: of somebody just looking right somehow. I don't know how
Speaker 8: fans somehow find the camera directly across from them, and
Speaker 8: how they can see the red light that just happens
Speaker 8: to be on, because cameras when we switch on broadcast,
Speaker 8: the red light of whatever camera's being taken on the
Speaker 8: actual show does light up. So I don't know how
Speaker 8: fans have eagle eye that they could see it from
Speaker 8: across the stadium.
Speaker 1: But somehow yeah, like just I mean with with stand
Speaker 1: by finger take finger. Yeah, yeah, that's what it sounds
