According To Tiebreakers, We're Also In The Mix To Make The SEC Championship

This week we cover some moving and shaking in the standings in both the college and pro game. Georgia keeps their championship hopes alive with a win over Tennessee in Athens, BYU goes down for the first time this season, Florida takes down LSU, and all of a sudden Alabama is in line to make the SEC Championship. In the NFL, the Bills knock the Chiefs from the ranks of the unbeaten, Pittsburgh gets a big win over Baltimore, the Eagles keep rolling, and the NFC West is the Big 12 of Sundays. We also talk about the impressive start by the Cavs, a new home for Inside the NBA, and we actually talk some NHL.

***NOTE*** There were some technical difficulties around the 50-minute mark, Greg's audio drops for a couple of minutes. Our apologies.

[00:00:00] At Alabama Take Projection

[00:00:06] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, I am TD, that is Greg. Greg, how you doing man?

[00:00:12] A little tired, but I am good. How are you this week?

[00:00:15] About the same, about the same, you know.

[00:00:17] Just, uh, I guess that's the age you're at, bro, man. Just always tired.

[00:00:23] Exactly, yeah.

[00:00:25] A little bit good. A peaceful weekend if you're an Alabama football fan anyway.

[00:00:30] Uh, yeah, the tide took on Mercer, um, and, you know, did what they should do against Mercer.

[00:00:40] No major injuries, no.

[00:00:43] Took care of business, looked good.

[00:00:46] Uh, getting ready for the next week and a trip to Norman, Oklahoma.

[00:00:50] Um, I guess the biggest development with Alabama football yesterday was with Georgia's win over Tennessee last night.

[00:00:57] It creates a big old cluster, uh, two lost teams in the standings.

[00:01:02] And as of right now, anyway, uh, due to all the, the complicated tiebreakers that go along with that,

[00:01:09] it looks like Alabama is in the lead to face the winner of the Texas and Texas A&M game in the SEC title game.

[00:01:17] So, crazy as that sounds, it sounds like we just went out and won game for Missouri.

[00:01:22] If I'm reading what people said right, that I'm deemed pretty credible.

[00:01:28] I mean, it sounds like that's kind of what has to happen.

[00:01:31] Easier said than done, of course.

[00:01:33] We just got to finish the season.

[00:01:34] And, you know, um, you never know what the last two games just because, I mean, they're prideful programs.

[00:01:39] And, of course, the Iron Bowl, you know, sorry, Wild 1 though, it always feels better in Tuscaloosa.

[00:01:44] But, yeah, big, big development there.

[00:01:47] I know, for sure.

[00:01:49] Uh, yeah.

[00:01:51] And I believe it's, as long as there are no major upsets that shake things out because of the nature of the tiebreakers,

[00:01:57] it goes down to, uh, what is it?

[00:02:01] Wins against ranked team or wins against the...

[00:02:04] I think it's the best winning percentage against your opponents.

[00:02:09] It's like common opponents and then, you know, head-to-head, obviously, first,

[00:02:13] then common opponents and rankings.

[00:02:15] And then what it is here, I got it.

[00:02:16] It's, uh, it is actually the record of your common opponents.

[00:02:21] Or a record of your...

[00:02:22] The opponent, not even common opponents.

[00:02:23] Just the record of the opponents on your schedule.

[00:02:26] So Alabama's opponents actually have the best record right now.

[00:02:30] Um, versus all of the...

[00:02:32] Yeah, over the other teams.

[00:02:35] And it's actually a sizable lead, I think.

[00:02:37] A few games.

[00:02:38] So, yeah, barring any...

[00:02:39] Thank you, um, South Carolina, Missouri.

[00:02:41] Yeah, exactly.

[00:02:43] Yeah.

[00:02:43] Uh, and you know, the, uh, longer the season goes, as crazy as that game was and how we came out of feeling kind of weird,

[00:02:51] that South Carolina win is looking much better all the time.

[00:02:54] It makes more and more sense, man.

[00:02:56] Uh, we'll get to them in just a second, too.

[00:02:59] Yeah, they're a good team.

[00:03:07] He's left out to a 10-0 lead, and then it was all Georgia from there.

[00:03:10] Uh, Carson Beck looked a lot better than he has in recent weeks.

[00:03:15] Uh, no turnovers from the Dawgs.

[00:03:15] Probably the best he may have looked all season.

[00:03:17] Yeah.

[00:03:17] Yeah, yeah.

[00:03:18] Maybe outside of, like, the second half of the Bama game.

[00:03:20] But, yeah.

[00:03:21] Like, uh...

[00:03:22] No, his best game.

[00:03:23] Full game of the season, for sure.

[00:03:25] For sure.

[00:03:25] Um, and a big win for Georgia.

[00:03:28] Uh, keeps them in the playoff race.

[00:03:30] Uh, in the SEC title race.

[00:03:32] Yeah, a loss there would have certainly eliminated them from playoff contention.

[00:03:36] Mm-hmm.

[00:03:37] And it throws Tennessee back into the pack now.

[00:03:40] And, uh...

[00:03:40] Oh, yeah.

[00:03:41] We'll see how the committee takes that on Tuesday with their rankings.

[00:03:45] But, uh, what were your takeaways from the game?

[00:03:48] Well, you know, you kind of...

[00:03:50] You expected Georgia to bounce back.

[00:03:53] Because, I mean, if it's one thing...

[00:03:56] When Georgia's back against the wall,

[00:03:58] Kirby has those guys ready to go.

[00:04:00] Um...

[00:04:01] So, I mean, I expected them to win the game.

[00:04:04] But the fact that they covered that spread when it was our week at 99.5-10,

[00:04:08] I was like, wow.

[00:04:10] You know, considering what they just came off of.

[00:04:12] And I understand, you know, a home game.

[00:04:14] So, that does give you some points in Athens.

[00:04:17] Um, and I'm sure something will have to do with Nico's availability

[00:04:20] and how well he was...

[00:04:21] You know, how healthy he was coming into that.

[00:04:23] But I thought that was a pretty big number considering the week today

[00:04:26] and had the week prior.

[00:04:27] But, you know, they more than lived up to the expectation.

[00:04:31] Got out, you know, got down early and then kind of woke up and like,

[00:04:34] wait a minute.

[00:04:34] Our season's on my mind.

[00:04:35] We gotta...

[00:04:36] We gotta correct this.

[00:04:37] You know, this can't be where we end our season at home against Tennessee.

[00:04:41] A team that we've kind of, you know, dominated in the last decade.

[00:04:46] So...

[00:04:47] Yeah, especially like you mentioned at home and getting down that 10-0.

[00:04:52] That's...

[00:04:53] Yeah, it wasn't a good look.

[00:04:53] It was kind of a great performance.

[00:04:55] It was crazy though how bad they turned or how badly they beat them after turning around.

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:02] That was...

[00:05:03] Because they only had, what, seven more points after that.

[00:05:06] So...

[00:05:06] Yeah, after getting down 10-0, Georgia outscored them 31-7 the rest of the game.

[00:05:12] So...

[00:05:12] Like you said though, Kirby excels at that kind of, you know, messaging with his team

[00:05:18] and nobody believes in us even when they do.

[00:05:20] And, you know, he actually had something real to...

[00:05:23] Ran about.

[00:05:25] Yeah, ran about this week.

[00:05:26] He was actually on the line this time.

[00:05:28] Yeah, they projected as the first team out.

[00:05:29] Yeah, so...

[00:05:32] So they're done...

[00:05:33] Georgia is done with their conference schedule for the year.

[00:05:36] All right.

[00:05:37] They have...

[00:05:38] It's kind of weird that...

[00:05:39] It's just weird that they're done two weeks ahead of time.

[00:05:41] But, you know, that's just how this new schedule kind of goes for some.

[00:05:45] But...

[00:05:46] Yeah, they have...

[00:05:47] Yeah, they have...

[00:05:47] Georgia...

[00:05:49] Georgia Tech, right?

[00:05:50] Yeah, they have their whoever their...

[00:05:53] That's the next week.

[00:05:55] Yeah.

[00:05:55] I don't even know who it is.

[00:05:56] Yeah, Georgia Tech in the year with them.

[00:05:58] But, yeah.

[00:06:00] Elsewhere, I guess the other...

[00:06:02] The second biggest news of the day yesterday.

[00:06:06] BYU goes down at home to Kansas.

[00:06:10] A weird, freaky late night game.

[00:06:14] Just some uncharacteristic mistakes.

[00:06:17] BYU, you know, they've been playing the fire all year.

[00:06:20] A lot of close games.

[00:06:21] And they just couldn't get it done this time.

[00:06:23] But just a weird turn of events.

[00:06:25] They were...

[00:06:26] It was a close game.

[00:06:27] And they were about to get the ball back.

[00:06:29] A chance to take the lead.

[00:06:31] And...

[00:06:33] Kansas went for a little pooch punt.

[00:06:35] And it hit off the back of a BYU player.

[00:06:38] And as another BYU player dove...

[00:06:40] He was alert.

[00:06:40] And he was the only one around it.

[00:06:41] He dove on it.

[00:06:42] But he just...

[00:06:43] The ball shot out like eight yards ahead.

[00:06:46] Kansas gets the ball in the two.

[00:06:48] And scores a touchdown.

[00:06:50] And widens their league to the point where...

[00:06:53] The Cougars just couldn't come back.

[00:06:55] Yeah.

[00:06:56] So, down they go.

[00:06:58] And again, it'll be interesting to see what the committee does with them on Tuesday, right?

[00:07:01] Yeah.

[00:07:02] You would have to think, you know, the committee didn't like them already.

[00:07:06] So, they're about to...

[00:07:07] I think they're about to drop the mess out of them.

[00:07:09] Especially a home game against a team.

[00:07:12] Though Kansas has been playing much better in the last month.

[00:07:15] I mean, you look at it.

[00:07:16] They've won a lot of games.

[00:07:18] And really, their only loss was a two-point loss to Kansas State.

[00:07:22] You know, they really picked up things the last month.

[00:07:25] I mean, they've blasted Iowa State.

[00:07:28] But, you know, for me, the biggest turning point was at the end of the first half.

[00:07:34] It was, I believe, a tie ball game.

[00:07:36] And BYU was rolling up the field.

[00:07:38] Got to like the five-yard line.

[00:07:40] And the reds off to a horrible pass.

[00:07:42] He got intercepted right before the half.

[00:07:44] In the red zone.

[00:07:46] And that kind of, you know, that would have given them a seven-point lead going into the half.

[00:07:50] And I think that kind of changed the whole demeanor of the team.

[00:07:54] They kind of were kind of shocked going into that halftime.

[00:07:57] You know, and Kansas did a heck of a job, though.

[00:08:00] I mean, Pro Bowl were a tough place to win.

[00:08:02] I mean, I didn't think they were going to lose at home like that.

[00:08:05] And then the other thing, too, is just how low scoring that game was.

[00:08:09] But I expected them.

[00:08:11] You know, if you look at outside of the Utah game, BYU has scored a lot of points every game.

[00:08:19] 30-some.

[00:08:19] Kansas had recently been scoring 30-some.

[00:08:21] So I expected, man, we might have a little shootout late at night.

[00:08:24] It makes sense.

[00:08:25] And, man, it was anything but that.

[00:08:27] Yeah, a little Big 12 after dark, you thought.

[00:08:29] But, yeah, no, it was a defensive.

[00:08:31] Like I said, kind of a sloppy game at times, too.

[00:08:33] Right.

[00:08:33] But, like you mentioned it, Kansas has turned it on.

[00:08:36] And they're playing like the team that everybody thought they were going to be before the year.

[00:08:40] And they can mind that bowl eligible at the end of the season, considering they started 1-5.

[00:08:43] It's pretty impressive.

[00:08:45] Yeah, they got to win out.

[00:08:47] But good for them.

[00:08:49] I need to quit picking against them in the column.

[00:08:53] But, man, that was a tough one for BYU.

[00:08:56] And now, yeah.

[00:08:58] It was, yeah.

[00:08:59] And now that the Big 12 gets even more complicated than it already is, man.

[00:09:06] You know, elsewhere in the day, Colorado.

[00:09:08] Earlier in the day, a big win.

[00:09:10] Wow, really had a business.

[00:09:12] They did.

[00:09:12] Utah, you know, it kept it closer a little bit.

[00:09:15] And then Colorado kind of in the second half just said, all right, that's enough of this.

[00:09:20] Yeah.

[00:09:20] You know, ever since that close loss at home with Kansas State when everybody was hurt and they held their own and probably should have won that game, they've been blowing folks out.

[00:09:32] It hasn't been a question since Denver, Colorado.

[00:09:35] That offense is home.

[00:09:36] And now they're tied with BYU for the lead in the conference.

[00:09:40] Yeah, exactly.

[00:09:41] Because they only had that one K-State loss.

[00:09:45] Because they had to loss Nebraska.

[00:09:47] And that's big.

[00:09:47] Yeah, wow.

[00:09:48] So that, hopefully, I would hope that, you know, they both just finish out and that's our Big 12 championship game.

[00:09:56] Because I think that's a good one.

[00:09:57] Yeah, I think that'd be a fascinating, yeah, contest right there.

[00:10:00] That'd be a good looking one.

[00:10:02] We'll come back to that a little bit as we look at next week's schedule and stuff.

[00:10:07] Elsewhere yesterday, Oregon survived Camp Randall.

[00:10:11] Wow.

[00:10:12] I think, you know, people knew it could be tricky, but Wisconsin's really been up and down this year.

[00:10:16] They just really haven't found their footing under Luke Fickle.

[00:10:21] But they turned it up at night.

[00:10:24] And, man, they had their chances.

[00:10:27] They really did.

[00:10:28] Wow.

[00:10:28] They had the lead for a while in that game.

[00:10:31] And Oregon just grinded it out.

[00:10:33] And there's a reason they're unbeaten at number one.

[00:10:36] Yeah.

[00:10:36] The Ducks, you've got to win those tough games, especially now that that's a conference game.

[00:10:42] Yeah.

[00:10:44] So a good win for Oregon.

[00:10:46] A good showing from Wisconsin.

[00:10:49] Yeah, for sure.

[00:10:50] There are no more victories, but it's better than, you know, say, getting blown out.

[00:10:54] Right.

[00:10:56] Much different game than I expected.

[00:10:59] You know, I didn't think that Wisconsin really had the athletes to hang a full game with Oregon at this point.

[00:11:06] But, man, their defense held strong all day.

[00:11:08] I mean, they were in, you know, like you said, they had the lead.

[00:11:11] And, man, Oregon had to fight for their lives in Camp Randall.

[00:11:15] You know, it was good.

[00:11:16] You know, it was a good night game atmosphere.

[00:11:19] Great atmosphere, as you expect from Camp Randall.

[00:11:21] And you would hope the Big Ten sees that and maybe starts to get away from the 11 a.m. start.

[00:11:29] You know, let's get some of these bigger games in the primetime window just for that atmosphere perspective.

[00:11:37] No, for sure.

[00:11:40] It's a great atmosphere.

[00:11:42] You know, you wish that.

[00:11:44] There's a lot of good atmospheres in the Big Ten.

[00:11:47] But, man, at night especially.

[00:11:49] I don't know.

[00:11:49] I hope they start getting to that.

[00:11:52] Yeah.

[00:11:52] Yeah.

[00:11:53] Although, I think, you know, Fox execs have said they're going to keep doing Big Noon and all that because of.

[00:11:59] I mean, I get it.

[00:12:00] But.

[00:12:01] The ratings they get off of it.

[00:12:02] But, yeah, it's better.

[00:12:04] The night atmosphere is just better.

[00:12:06] But they act like they're not going to get business.

[00:12:08] I mean, if you've got Ohio State and Oregon, for example.

[00:12:11] Or, you know, a big late season game with an undefeated Oregon team going into a tough environment.

[00:12:18] There's going to be plenty of eyes on it.

[00:12:20] It's not going to change that much, I don't think.

[00:12:22] Like, the way people flip around in the forest screen now with YouTube TV.

[00:12:25] And I don't know if other providers offer that or not.

[00:12:28] People are going to have their eyes on that game.

[00:12:30] Yeah.

[00:12:31] Especially in the area.

[00:12:34] Remember.

[00:12:35] The multi-view and, you know, two screens.

[00:12:37] And you're going to get your.

[00:12:39] Oh, absolutely.

[00:12:39] Hey, you have your mobile devices that you can watch things on.

[00:12:43] And you have the one on the TV.

[00:12:45] Like, people are going to turn to that game.

[00:12:47] Especially they see, oh, shit.

[00:12:49] Oregon's in the dog fight with Wisconsin.

[00:12:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:12:54] Yeah.

[00:12:55] But, like I said, good win for Oregon.

[00:12:57] Oh, for sure.

[00:12:58] And we mentioned South Carolina earlier.

[00:13:00] Get back down.

[00:13:01] They had a good win over Missouri yesterday.

[00:13:03] Great game.

[00:13:03] What a game that was.

[00:13:04] What a game that was.

[00:13:06] Outstanding game.

[00:13:08] So, I have a question for you.

[00:13:10] But, is South Carolina the best team right now that's not going to make the playoff?

[00:13:15] Are they?

[00:13:16] They really.

[00:13:18] Wow.

[00:13:18] I mean, and you look at all their losses outside of that.

[00:13:23] Excuse me, the Ole Miss game.

[00:13:25] I mean, that could be their.

[00:13:28] I mean, if you look at it, maybe should or could be their only loss.

[00:13:32] I mean, no way they should have lost LSU.

[00:13:35] Our game was up and down.

[00:13:36] I mean, they had their chances to win that one.

[00:13:39] But, man, they've been a whole completely different team the last month.

[00:13:46] I mean, they really.

[00:13:47] They're scoring.

[00:13:49] They and their offense is going now, too.

[00:13:51] They can put up points.

[00:13:53] They can figure that out there.

[00:13:56] It's almost like that South Carolina team from two years ago.

[00:14:00] You know, they really got it going in November.

[00:14:03] Yeah, they were the November national champs, man.

[00:14:06] Yeah.

[00:14:07] And now Clemson's probably looking at that game now like, oh, shit.

[00:14:11] Yeah, that game's a lot.

[00:14:13] That's going to be a fun one right there.

[00:14:14] Very interesting.

[00:14:15] I believe that's in.

[00:14:18] It's in?

[00:14:19] I believe it's in South Carolina.

[00:14:20] Yeah, I think it's in Columbia.

[00:14:21] Oh, wow.

[00:14:22] Wow.

[00:14:23] Wow.

[00:14:24] So that, yeah.

[00:14:26] They are also another team.

[00:14:28] South Carolina done with their SEC schedule for the year.

[00:14:31] Finish up five and three in conference.

[00:14:33] Probably better than people thought they would.

[00:14:35] Yeah, for sure.

[00:14:36] Great.

[00:14:37] It looks like they got their QB of the future.

[00:14:39] Lenore Sellers.

[00:14:40] They got a solid year out of Rocket Sanders.

[00:14:43] Yeah, he's more than just a runner.

[00:14:46] He's been completing big passes.

[00:14:48] And, man, Rocket Sanders, on that last touchdown run, he said,

[00:14:53] I am not leaving it up to this kicker.

[00:14:55] No way.

[00:14:56] Mm-mm.

[00:14:57] Yeah, he could not be in the up.

[00:14:58] He said, we're winning.

[00:14:58] We're not going to overtime.

[00:14:59] We're not going to.

[00:15:00] Because he's had a few chances where he's missed those kicks,

[00:15:03] as they showed right before.

[00:15:06] And Rocket Sanders was like, not today, sir.

[00:15:09] We can play too hard to lose this one.

[00:15:13] Yeah, I know South Carolina fans will be upset that they don't get any more

[00:15:24] years out of him as he's running out of eligibility, I do believe.

[00:15:27] Yeah.

[00:15:28] Yeah.

[00:15:29] This year.

[00:15:31] Let's see.

[00:15:32] Elsewhere, a few upsets around the country.

[00:15:35] Arizona State went in Manhattan and just beat down Kansas State.

[00:15:40] Dominated.

[00:15:41] Yeah.

[00:15:42] Great win for the Sun Devils.

[00:15:43] Like, wow.

[00:15:44] And they're still kind of in that race, aren't they?

[00:15:47] Yeah, they're in that.

[00:15:48] Yeah, they need a couple people to lose in front of them.

[00:15:50] But sitting there at five and two, they're right there.

[00:15:54] I don't think anybody saw that one.

[00:15:56] Yeah.

[00:15:56] Yeah.

[00:15:57] And I believe when we look ahead to next week, I think they have a big one too.

[00:16:03] Yeah, they host BYU next week.

[00:16:07] Arizona State?

[00:16:08] Oh, wow.

[00:16:09] Yeah.

[00:16:09] Yeah.

[00:16:09] That's a big one.

[00:16:11] Wow.

[00:16:11] But I see Stanford upset Louisville and just a crazy ending to that game too.

[00:16:19] Louisville had the ball late, tie ball game at the 50, and just kept getting incomplete passes.

[00:16:28] And Stanford gets the ball and gets it to around midfield or so.

[00:16:34] Not in field goal territory, but an unsportsmanlike penalty on Louisville put Stanford in field goal territory.

[00:16:40] And they kicked the game-winning field goal.

[00:16:41] It's time expires.

[00:16:43] Terrible loss for Louisville.

[00:16:45] Terrible loss.

[00:16:47] Man, that's wild.

[00:16:48] A game that shouldn't have been close at home either.

[00:16:50] You know, it's not like they were in Palo Alto.

[00:16:53] Boy, I bet you the Louisville crowd, I can only imagine when they left there.

[00:16:58] And they were like, what the just happened?

[00:17:00] Like, what?

[00:17:00] Yeah, that was a, I think, yeah, it was one of those win expectancy things where it was, I think, Stanford was at like 8% or something with under a minute to go.

[00:17:10] And you look at both their conference wins and you're like, how in the world did they beat either Syracuse or Louisville?

[00:17:15] Considering how those teams look coming into the game.

[00:17:18] Like, wow.

[00:17:18] But both of them on the road too.

[00:17:20] That's the crazy part.

[00:17:20] Yeah.

[00:17:22] On the road.

[00:17:22] A team that struggled mightily all season.

[00:17:25] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:27] But, yeah, like I said, that hurts.

[00:17:29] Not a good one for Louisville there.

[00:17:31] No.

[00:17:32] And then Florida.

[00:17:34] DJ Lagway, healthy, came back and they beat LSU in the swamp.

[00:17:39] Broke that little streak.

[00:17:40] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:41] As the wheels are falling off for the Tigers.

[00:17:44] Wow.

[00:17:44] You kind of predicted at the start of the season.

[00:17:47] That was your, that you weren't sure about LSU.

[00:17:50] Do it all.

[00:17:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:17:52] And Brian Kelly really seems to have lost his stuff.

[00:17:54] I mean, these, have you seen the little, the little thing where the video of, um, you

[00:18:00] told the wide receiver pretty much, you're, you're uncoachable.

[00:18:03] What are you doing?

[00:18:04] Yeah.

[00:18:04] Yeah.

[00:18:05] He's just, uh, and that's just, he's just so unlikable, man.

[00:18:08] And he, uh.

[00:18:09] Jesus.

[00:18:10] It's not a good look at all.

[00:18:11] It seems like, yeah, he's always blaming him.

[00:18:13] He's always crying about something.

[00:18:15] And always blaming someone other than himself.

[00:18:17] Yeah.

[00:18:18] You know.

[00:18:18] Because, you know, I heard, like, part of his press conference afterwards.

[00:18:21] I need to, you know, the players.

[00:18:23] And then he said the coaches.

[00:18:24] Dude, it's like you doing the coaches because you had to.

[00:18:27] Yeah.

[00:18:27] That, you, you said exactly what you felt.

[00:18:29] That he said he put the players first.

[00:18:32] Mm-hmm.

[00:18:32] Like.

[00:18:34] Like, you shouldn't really even mention the players.

[00:18:36] I, I don't think of the coaches.

[00:18:37] Basically saying, you know, everybody needs to step up.

[00:18:39] If you, you know, it's just tough situations.

[00:18:41] If you don't want to, you're going to find out who wants to be here by how we come out the next two weeks.

[00:18:46] And I'm like, come on, bro.

[00:18:48] Chill out.

[00:18:49] Yeah.

[00:18:50] So that's now three in a row for the Tigers.

[00:18:54] And.

[00:18:54] All double digits.

[00:18:56] Yeah.

[00:18:56] Yeah.

[00:18:57] And all.

[00:18:57] Yeah.

[00:18:57] Not.

[00:18:58] Not particularly good looking games either.

[00:19:01] The team just hasn't looked good at all.

[00:19:04] And Vanderbilt comes to town next weekend.

[00:19:06] So.

[00:19:08] Yeah.

[00:19:08] You never know.

[00:19:10] I mean.

[00:19:10] It doesn't get easier.

[00:19:11] Yeah.

[00:19:12] Yeah.

[00:19:12] You got to look at it.

[00:19:13] I mean.

[00:19:14] We've seen.

[00:19:15] We've seen all the struggles with the running quarterbacks.

[00:19:17] And what does Diego like to do?

[00:19:19] He likes to take off time to time.

[00:19:21] Maybe not as fast as the other ones.

[00:19:23] But, man.

[00:19:23] He can get a chunk yards on you in the quickness.

[00:19:25] So we'll see how that one goes.

[00:19:28] Yeah.

[00:19:30] And the crazy thing is how good they were looking just, you know, a month ago.

[00:19:35] Before that A&M game.

[00:19:37] I mean.

[00:19:37] I mean.

[00:19:38] Undefeated in the SEC.

[00:19:39] You see.

[00:19:40] Looking at the clearly in the front.

[00:19:43] Yeah.

[00:19:45] And, I mean.

[00:19:45] Playing a good ball.

[00:19:46] I mean.

[00:19:46] They had a tough one against Ole Miss.

[00:19:49] Where they, you know.

[00:19:50] Didn't lead to the last play.

[00:19:51] But, I mean.

[00:19:52] It was a great win at the point.

[00:19:54] And then, you know.

[00:19:55] Went into College Station.

[00:19:57] And.

[00:19:58] Great first half.

[00:19:59] And then after that.

[00:19:59] It just.

[00:20:00] Yeah.

[00:20:01] And they have not been the same team since.

[00:20:03] No.

[00:20:04] At all.

[00:20:06] Let's see.

[00:20:06] Elsewhere around the country.

[00:20:08] Ohio State went down 7-0 to Northwestern.

[00:20:10] And then.

[00:20:11] Wait a minute.

[00:20:11] Got pissed off about it.

[00:20:12] Yeah.

[00:20:13] Yeah.

[00:20:13] And Cruz to an easy win.

[00:20:15] Texas had their moments when they struggled with Arkansas.

[00:20:18] But ultimately.

[00:20:19] They did.

[00:20:20] Put it away late.

[00:20:21] It was too good.

[00:20:22] Yeah.

[00:20:22] They're just too good.

[00:20:22] Just too much talent for them.

[00:20:24] But, you know.

[00:20:25] We talked about Sam Pittman and needing his team to show some fight.

[00:20:29] And I think they did.

[00:20:29] They showed enough fight.

[00:20:30] Didn't have the horses.

[00:20:31] Yeah.

[00:20:31] They just didn't have the horses.

[00:20:33] No.

[00:20:34] They held.

[00:20:34] They did a good job holding it.

[00:20:35] Because, you know.

[00:20:36] I thought.

[00:20:38] When Texas scored that first touchdown real quick and everything.

[00:20:40] I was like.

[00:20:41] Oh.

[00:20:41] This might be a long day.

[00:20:43] Yeah.

[00:20:43] Yeah.

[00:20:43] They held their own there.

[00:20:44] I mean.

[00:20:45] For it to end up 20 to 10.

[00:20:46] I mean.

[00:20:47] Where it could have.

[00:20:48] Where I thought it was going.

[00:20:49] Much better than that.

[00:20:51] So.

[00:20:51] Mm-hmm.

[00:20:53] So.

[00:20:53] I mean.

[00:20:54] They.

[00:20:55] Still going for that bowl eligibility.

[00:20:57] But obviously.

[00:20:57] They have their FCS type game.

[00:20:59] That's coming up week.

[00:21:00] So hopefully they can.

[00:21:02] At least get the sixth there.

[00:21:04] And then.

[00:21:05] Play Mizzou at the end of the year.

[00:21:06] But.

[00:21:07] Obviously.

[00:21:08] For the rest.

[00:21:09] Next two weeks.

[00:21:09] We gotta.

[00:21:11] Be.

[00:21:12] Pro Mizzou.

[00:21:12] A little bit.

[00:21:13] At least in one of the games.

[00:21:15] It at least have to be Mississippi State or Arkansas.

[00:21:18] So.

[00:21:18] Hopefully they can pull up.

[00:21:20] One of those.

[00:21:21] But.

[00:21:22] You know.

[00:21:22] Who knows.

[00:21:24] Yeah.

[00:21:25] And.

[00:21:26] Let's see.

[00:21:27] Penn State had easy time with Purdue.

[00:21:29] Boy.

[00:21:29] Did they.

[00:21:30] Yeah.

[00:21:31] Notre Dame.

[00:21:32] Easy win over Virginia.

[00:21:34] Boise State.

[00:21:35] Easy win over San Jose State.

[00:21:37] Ask Jindjenti.

[00:21:38] Yeah.

[00:21:38] Another 150 plus.

[00:21:41] Game.

[00:21:42] Dude.

[00:21:42] I was looking.

[00:21:44] I was.

[00:21:44] And when he got the single.

[00:21:47] Season.

[00:21:47] Russian record or something now.

[00:21:49] At.

[00:21:50] At.

[00:21:51] Boise.

[00:21:52] And I was like.

[00:21:52] Man.

[00:21:52] Where.

[00:21:53] Like.

[00:21:53] You would think he's pretty close to the all time record.

[00:21:56] Right now.

[00:21:56] He's third all time.

[00:21:58] But.

[00:21:59] There's some dude in the.

[00:22:00] Before our time really.

[00:22:02] And then Ian Johnson.

[00:22:03] But Ian Johnson had a full four years.

[00:22:06] And he's.

[00:22:07] And.

[00:22:08] And he's only in year three of Boise.

[00:22:10] And he's like.

[00:22:11] He's well.

[00:22:11] He's within a couple hundred of.

[00:22:13] Being an all time Russian.

[00:22:14] Boise State history.

[00:22:15] So.

[00:22:16] I think he'll get that done.

[00:22:18] Yeah.

[00:22:19] Just outstanding.

[00:22:20] Season for him.

[00:22:23] SMU.

[00:22:25] Played it close for a little while.

[00:22:26] With Boston College.

[00:22:28] But pulled away in the end.

[00:22:30] Another great game.

[00:22:31] From Jennings there.

[00:22:33] Yeah.

[00:22:33] Weird week for Boston College though.

[00:22:36] Their quarterback.

[00:22:38] You know.

[00:22:39] Got benched a week prior.

[00:22:40] And then he leaves the program.

[00:22:41] Jumps in the transfer portal.

[00:22:43] So.

[00:22:43] And that's kind of tough.

[00:22:45] I mean.

[00:22:46] Obviously the other guy.

[00:22:47] Become the starter.

[00:22:48] But still.

[00:22:48] Like wow.

[00:22:49] That's you know.

[00:22:49] Big.

[00:22:50] This time of the year.

[00:22:51] But you know.

[00:22:52] They gave SMU a fight there.

[00:22:53] You know.

[00:22:54] It was a big line.

[00:22:55] A lot of people thought SMU might roll there.

[00:22:57] In that spot.

[00:22:58] You know.

[00:22:58] They hung around.

[00:22:59] But you know.

[00:23:00] SMU.

[00:23:02] Showing some grit there.

[00:23:03] Because now they kind of.

[00:23:04] People are starting to look at them.

[00:23:05] Oh man.

[00:23:06] This is a real team.

[00:23:07] And you know.

[00:23:08] They found ways to win games.

[00:23:10] And you know.

[00:23:10] That's new for them.

[00:23:11] I mean.

[00:23:11] They've never.

[00:23:12] They haven't been in the power.

[00:23:13] Before conference.

[00:23:14] Or power conference.

[00:23:16] Shit.

[00:23:16] The mid.

[00:23:17] Mid 90s.

[00:23:18] So I mean.

[00:23:18] And they were.

[00:23:19] At the bottom of the barrel.

[00:23:21] At that point.

[00:23:21] So I mean.

[00:23:22] This is new to them.

[00:23:22] And with so much pressure.

[00:23:24] And they're handling it pretty well.

[00:23:25] So.

[00:23:26] Well yeah.

[00:23:26] Absolutely.

[00:23:28] And then.

[00:23:30] Let's see.

[00:23:31] Texas A&M.

[00:23:32] Easy win over New Mexico State.

[00:23:35] Washington State.

[00:23:36] Any hopes of a playoff.

[00:23:37] Are gone now.

[00:23:38] They lost to New Mexico.

[00:23:40] Kind of a shocking loss there.

[00:23:43] Yeah.

[00:23:43] That's a weird.

[00:23:44] Weird loss.

[00:23:45] You're like.

[00:23:46] Wow.

[00:23:47] It was on the defense too.

[00:23:48] You know.

[00:23:48] They were up actually.

[00:23:49] 20.

[00:23:49] 14 at half too.

[00:23:51] So a second half.

[00:23:53] I mean.

[00:23:53] Mateer still balled out.

[00:23:55] You know.

[00:23:55] Either 375.

[00:23:56] Four tutties.

[00:23:57] But.

[00:23:58] Just a defensive.

[00:23:59] That's a bad loss.

[00:24:00] Yeah.

[00:24:00] Defensive lapse there.

[00:24:03] Clemson and Pitt played a good one.

[00:24:04] Cade clubbed it.

[00:24:05] They did.

[00:24:06] They did.

[00:24:06] 50 yard run.

[00:24:07] For the score.

[00:24:08] Late in the game.

[00:24:09] To win it for the Tigers.

[00:24:11] And keep their ACC title.

[00:24:13] And.

[00:24:14] Playoff hopes on it.

[00:24:15] Yes.

[00:24:16] Because that.

[00:24:16] I mean.

[00:24:18] Because you look at it.

[00:24:19] I mean.

[00:24:20] I really thought.

[00:24:21] They were kind of out of it.

[00:24:22] Pitt would be after.

[00:24:23] You know.

[00:24:24] What's the name's out?

[00:24:26] Is he out for the season now?

[00:24:27] Oh.

[00:24:28] Eli Holstein.

[00:24:29] I'm not sure.

[00:24:30] If he is out for the season or not.

[00:24:31] He definitely was not in this game.

[00:24:33] And I would say.

[00:24:34] Oh yeah.

[00:24:34] That's going to be tough.

[00:24:35] But they held their own.

[00:24:36] And did.

[00:24:37] Play well.

[00:24:38] You are now the backup.

[00:24:40] Through 350.

[00:24:40] And a touchdown.

[00:24:41] Through 54 times.

[00:24:42] That you got to imagine.

[00:24:44] That's not what Pitt really wants to do.

[00:24:46] But.

[00:24:47] Tough streak for the Panthers.

[00:24:48] After starting 7-0.

[00:24:50] They've lost 3 in a row.

[00:24:51] Yeah.

[00:24:52] They have to go to Louisville next week.

[00:24:54] So.

[00:24:55] It doesn't.

[00:24:55] You know.

[00:24:56] It's still tough.

[00:24:56] That was their last home game of the year.

[00:24:58] They got Louisville and BC.

[00:24:59] Both on the road in the year.

[00:25:01] So.

[00:25:02] Uh.

[00:25:03] Unfortunate for them.

[00:25:05] Yeah.

[00:25:05] And then.

[00:25:06] Let's see.

[00:25:07] Uh.

[00:25:07] Tulane.

[00:25:08] Easy win over Navy.

[00:25:09] 35-0.

[00:25:09] If they're in Annapolis.

[00:25:12] Yeah.

[00:25:12] Looking really good.

[00:25:13] Really dangerous.

[00:25:15] Uh.

[00:25:15] That clinches.

[00:25:17] Uh.

[00:25:17] The matchup for the.

[00:25:19] Uh.

[00:25:19] American title game.

[00:25:20] Army and Tulane.

[00:25:22] Tulane and Army.

[00:25:23] Yeah.

[00:25:23] Still yet to be decided where.

[00:25:25] That game will be played.

[00:25:27] If it's in.

[00:25:29] West Point.

[00:25:29] Or.

[00:25:31] Oh.

[00:25:31] Easy touchdown here for the Bengals.

[00:25:33] Uh.

[00:25:33] Wow.

[00:25:33] They're coming back.

[00:25:35] Uh.

[00:25:36] Uh.

[00:25:36] Yeah.

[00:25:37] If it's in Tulane or New Orleans.

[00:25:40] But.

[00:25:41] Yeah.

[00:25:42] Tulane looking really dangerous.

[00:25:43] They're trying to.

[00:25:44] You know.

[00:25:44] Obviously Boise State has the big advantage right now.

[00:25:47] In terms of rankings for.

[00:25:48] Right.

[00:25:49] Getting that group of five playoff spot.

[00:25:51] That fifth conference champion.

[00:25:54] Playoff spot.

[00:25:54] But what does that do?

[00:25:56] Uh.

[00:25:56] You know.

[00:25:56] Somehow Army.

[00:25:58] Finds a way to beat Notre Dame this weekend.

[00:26:00] Coming up.

[00:26:02] Does that.

[00:26:03] I mean.

[00:26:04] What does that really.

[00:26:05] I mean.

[00:26:05] Does that.

[00:26:06] Bump them above Boise at that point.

[00:26:08] Or.

[00:26:09] We'll see.

[00:26:10] I would assume it might.

[00:26:11] Considering how high.

[00:26:13] Notre Dame is right now.

[00:26:15] Um.

[00:26:15] But man.

[00:26:16] That's a huge game for Army.

[00:26:18] Yeah.

[00:26:19] That's what comes down to it.

[00:26:20] That's really their.

[00:26:22] Playoff season on the line there.

[00:26:24] Uh.

[00:26:25] They need it for the playoff.

[00:26:27] Unfortunately.

[00:26:27] For sure.

[00:26:28] Yeah.

[00:26:30] Uh.

[00:26:30] Hopefully they'll give a better.

[00:26:32] Uh.

[00:26:32] Better outing than their other.

[00:26:34] Their.

[00:26:34] Uh.

[00:26:35] Service Academy.

[00:26:36] The other service academy.

[00:26:38] I mean.

[00:26:39] And the Navy's.

[00:26:40] Seasons kind of.

[00:26:41] Hadn't been the same since.

[00:26:43] Mm-mm.

[00:26:43] Yeah.

[00:26:43] They have.

[00:26:44] Kind of fallen off the rails there.

[00:26:46] Yeah.

[00:26:46] Although.

[00:26:47] Uh.

[00:26:47] Air Force did get a.

[00:26:48] Rare win yesterday.

[00:26:49] They beat Oregon State.

[00:26:51] Uh.

[00:26:52] That's a good win for them.

[00:26:53] Not a good season out there in Colorado Springs.

[00:26:55] But.

[00:26:56] Not at all.

[00:26:56] Good win there.

[00:26:58] Uh.

[00:26:59] Let's go ahead.

[00:27:00] Uh.

[00:27:00] Anything else from yesterday you want to touch on?

[00:27:02] Or.

[00:27:03] Oh.

[00:27:03] Ready to look at next week.

[00:27:04] Let's say.

[00:27:05] I think.

[00:27:05] Yeah.

[00:27:05] We could.

[00:27:06] Yeah.

[00:27:06] I think we.

[00:27:07] I think we kind of.

[00:27:10] Went over most everything there.

[00:27:11] Just.

[00:27:13] It was one of them weekends.

[00:27:14] Not a lot of.

[00:27:16] I don't know.

[00:27:17] When the sexiest weekend.

[00:27:18] As far as the games.

[00:27:19] But yeah.

[00:27:19] Some interesting outcomes.

[00:27:21] Mm-hmm.

[00:27:22] Uh.

[00:27:23] Yeah.

[00:27:23] So let's look ahead next week.

[00:27:24] Uh.

[00:27:25] Some of the highlights.

[00:27:26] Of course.

[00:27:26] Alabama.

[00:27:27] Traveling to Norman.

[00:27:28] Like you said.

[00:27:28] Tricky game.

[00:27:29] Can't look past them.

[00:27:29] It's tricky.

[00:27:30] Like you said.

[00:27:31] A prideful program.

[00:27:32] Although.

[00:27:33] You can't imagine.

[00:27:35] That.

[00:27:36] As well as the Alabama defense.

[00:27:38] Has been playing.

[00:27:39] No.

[00:27:39] Completely.

[00:27:40] That.

[00:27:40] Oklahoma.

[00:27:41] That Oklahoma offense.

[00:27:42] Doing much of anything.

[00:27:44] As long as the guys come in focused.

[00:27:46] And not listen to anybody.

[00:27:47] And.

[00:27:51] I think that's what comes down to.

[00:27:52] They have to come in hungry.

[00:27:54] And realize.

[00:27:54] Nothing's been accomplished yet.

[00:27:56] As long as they come in with the right attitude.

[00:27:57] They'll be fine.

[00:27:59] Yeah.

[00:27:59] I think.

[00:28:00] Yeah.

[00:28:00] Exactly.

[00:28:01] It's.

[00:28:01] You know.

[00:28:01] It's business.

[00:28:02] Go handle business.

[00:28:03] Uh.

[00:28:03] It'll be a good test for the offense.

[00:28:05] Oklahoma defense is still good.

[00:28:07] Right.

[00:28:08] Let's see.

[00:28:09] And of course.

[00:28:10] Big one in the Big Ten.

[00:28:11] Indiana.

[00:28:11] Indiana travels to Columbus.

[00:28:13] Uh.

[00:28:13] Oh.

[00:28:14] That's huge.

[00:28:15] For the Hoosiers.

[00:28:16] Yeah.

[00:28:17] We'll see what happens there.

[00:28:18] Yeah.

[00:28:19] Obviously.

[00:28:20] If they pull the upset.

[00:28:21] That'd be huge.

[00:28:22] But do they.

[00:28:22] If they get blown out.

[00:28:24] Does a committee.

[00:28:25] Just.

[00:28:25] Tank them.

[00:28:27] Yeah.

[00:28:27] Just decide that they.

[00:28:29] Also.

[00:28:29] What does it.

[00:28:30] What does it.

[00:28:31] Yeah.

[00:28:31] Right.

[00:28:31] And what does a close one do.

[00:28:33] Lost for them do as well.

[00:28:34] I mean.

[00:28:35] They still get knocked.

[00:28:36] Or did they say.

[00:28:37] Hey.

[00:28:37] Well.

[00:28:37] You know.

[00:28:38] They actually went into Columbia.

[00:28:39] Columbus.

[00:28:40] And put up a fight.

[00:28:41] But.

[00:28:42] You know.

[00:28:42] I think a lot of people.

[00:28:43] Expecting.

[00:28:43] We'd actually house next weekend.

[00:28:45] I don't necessarily see that.

[00:28:47] You know.

[00:28:48] There's no point.

[00:28:48] Have we really seen.

[00:28:50] Where Ohio State.

[00:28:51] Has really.

[00:28:53] Put up like.

[00:28:54] Points.

[00:28:54] Like maybe you would expect.

[00:28:55] Against some opponents.

[00:28:56] Um.

[00:28:57] I mean.

[00:28:57] They have the talent.

[00:28:58] To do so.

[00:28:59] But I.

[00:28:59] I think.

[00:29:01] You know.

[00:29:01] Indiana is going to come.

[00:29:02] With this game.

[00:29:02] They have nothing to lose.

[00:29:03] They're going to be ready to go.

[00:29:05] And.

[00:29:05] Ohio State better be ready.

[00:29:06] Yeah.

[00:29:07] Because.

[00:29:07] I think.

[00:29:08] And Eddie.

[00:29:09] And those guys.

[00:29:09] Are going to come in.

[00:29:10] They're not scared of Ohio State.

[00:29:11] That's one thing.

[00:29:13] There won't be any intimidation there.

[00:29:15] So.

[00:29:15] No.

[00:29:15] Absolutely not.

[00:29:16] Yeah.

[00:29:17] That is.

[00:29:18] Not.

[00:29:18] That's a team.

[00:29:19] It'd be interesting.

[00:29:19] Very interesting.

[00:29:21] Yeah.

[00:29:23] Uh.

[00:29:23] Let's see else.

[00:29:24] I got Army.

[00:29:25] We mentioned Army.

[00:29:26] And Notre Dame next weekend.

[00:29:27] They play in Yankee Stadium.

[00:29:28] Uh.

[00:29:28] That's the season for Army.

[00:29:30] And.

[00:29:31] Uh.

[00:29:31] Notre Dame too really.

[00:29:32] I don't think that.

[00:29:33] You know.

[00:29:33] If they lose.

[00:29:34] I don't think they can afford another loss.

[00:29:35] If they lose that.

[00:29:36] I mean.

[00:29:36] They can't.

[00:29:37] They can't have a second loss.

[00:29:38] I mean.

[00:29:39] Especially consider who the first loss was too.

[00:29:41] Mm-hmm.

[00:29:42] And.

[00:29:42] Yeah.

[00:29:43] How that has not.

[00:29:44] That loss has not turned around.

[00:29:46] You know.

[00:29:46] It's not Alabama at Vanderbilt was bad at the time.

[00:29:48] But now it's like.

[00:29:49] Okay.

[00:29:49] Like it's not.

[00:29:50] Still.

[00:29:51] It's not terrible.

[00:29:52] But I mean.

[00:29:52] You don't want to lose it.

[00:29:53] But it's still.

[00:29:53] You're like.

[00:29:54] Okay.

[00:29:54] I get it now.

[00:29:56] Yeah.

[00:29:56] No.

[00:29:56] They have not lived up to the.

[00:29:58] To that game at all.

[00:30:00] Mm-hmm.

[00:30:00] From the Northern Illinois side.

[00:30:02] I mean.

[00:30:02] Not even really relevant.

[00:30:04] They're not even in the Mac conversation at all.

[00:30:07] So.

[00:30:07] Mm-hmm.

[00:30:08] Nah.

[00:30:09] It's crazy.

[00:30:10] Uh.

[00:30:10] Ole Miss visits Florida.

[00:30:11] Which is now looking.

[00:30:12] You know.

[00:30:13] Tricky.

[00:30:14] The Swamp's always a tricky place.

[00:30:15] Ole Miss has to keep.

[00:30:17] You know.

[00:30:17] They got to handle their business.

[00:30:19] They have to win out.

[00:30:19] Playoff conversation.

[00:30:20] Yeah.

[00:30:21] And.

[00:30:22] At Florida.

[00:30:23] We know.

[00:30:24] A healthy DJ Lagway.

[00:30:25] That's looking potentially dangerous.

[00:30:27] And then.

[00:30:28] And that Florida.

[00:30:29] That Florida defense has come a long way.

[00:30:31] Mm-hmm.

[00:30:32] So.

[00:30:33] Yeah.

[00:30:33] That'll be an interesting game.

[00:30:35] Because just to see.

[00:30:37] How they.

[00:30:40] How.

[00:30:41] Well.

[00:30:41] You would have to think Ole Miss is going to come in.

[00:30:43] Prepare.

[00:30:44] Rip.

[00:30:45] Because I mean.

[00:30:45] Obviously their playoff life is underline.

[00:30:48] Mm-hmm.

[00:30:49] But.

[00:30:50] Just how Florida comes into this game.

[00:30:52] Because I mean.

[00:30:52] They're on cloud.

[00:30:53] They were on cloud nine.

[00:30:54] After.

[00:30:54] Finally being LSU.

[00:30:56] After five straight.

[00:30:57] Mm-hmm.

[00:30:59] Loss is there.

[00:31:00] So I mean.

[00:31:01] They have to refocus.

[00:31:04] You know.

[00:31:05] You know.

[00:31:05] Our thing was also.

[00:31:07] You know.

[00:31:07] If Billy can get to six wins this year.

[00:31:10] And make a bowl game.

[00:31:11] That's a hell of a.

[00:31:12] Hell.

[00:31:12] Heck of a season.

[00:31:13] Considering the schedule.

[00:31:15] And everything.

[00:31:15] The.

[00:31:15] All the unknowns.

[00:31:17] With the Gators.

[00:31:18] Mm-hmm.

[00:31:18] And you know.

[00:31:18] They're on the verge of that.

[00:31:19] They have two games.

[00:31:20] They get to six.

[00:31:21] So.

[00:31:22] You know.

[00:31:22] They really.

[00:31:24] They really.

[00:31:25] Handled their businesses of late.

[00:31:27] You know.

[00:31:27] Ever since that blowout of Texas A&M.

[00:31:30] Against the Aggies at home.

[00:31:31] They really.

[00:31:33] Turned their things around.

[00:31:34] Been competitive.

[00:31:35] So.

[00:31:36] Yeah.

[00:31:36] I.

[00:31:37] Hopefully we'll see an interesting game.

[00:31:39] On Saturday.

[00:31:40] Down in Gainesville.

[00:31:42] Yeah.

[00:31:43] Yeah.

[00:31:43] It should be a fun one.

[00:31:44] And then.

[00:31:45] Big day in the Big 12.

[00:31:47] As we kind of talked about.

[00:31:49] Yeah.

[00:31:50] BYU visits Arizona State.

[00:31:52] That's.

[00:31:52] And.

[00:31:52] Colorado visits Kansas.

[00:31:54] Both in.

[00:31:55] 2.30 Central time.

[00:31:57] Middle of the day.

[00:31:59] Huge.

[00:31:59] Like we said.

[00:32:00] Obviously.

[00:32:01] You know.

[00:32:01] BYU needs a.

[00:32:02] Keep.

[00:32:04] Spotting the.

[00:32:04] Big 12 title game.

[00:32:06] Arizona State.

[00:32:07] With a win.

[00:32:08] I think.

[00:32:08] Good.

[00:32:09] You know.

[00:32:09] Put themselves in that conversation for it.

[00:32:11] They'd be tied on record.

[00:32:12] I don't know how the Big 12 tiebreakers work.

[00:32:14] But.

[00:32:15] And then we mentioned how well Kansas is playing.

[00:32:17] And they need to win out to make a bowl.

[00:32:19] So.

[00:32:20] That is not an easy game for Colorado.

[00:32:22] No.

[00:32:22] No.

[00:32:24] They need to go in there and play tough.

[00:32:26] Yeah.

[00:32:26] That's a.

[00:32:27] Say.

[00:32:27] Very.

[00:32:28] Very interesting weekend.

[00:32:30] Kind of shocked at that.

[00:32:31] Arizona State game in.

[00:32:33] That late night game.

[00:32:35] I thought.

[00:32:35] In Tempe.

[00:32:36] That might be the.

[00:32:37] Might have been the late one there.

[00:32:40] Yeah.

[00:32:41] That's weird.

[00:32:41] They got.

[00:32:42] Iowa State and Utah is a later game.

[00:32:45] But.

[00:32:46] I mean.

[00:32:46] I get it.

[00:32:47] I get it.

[00:32:48] Going into the season.

[00:32:49] You kind of.

[00:32:50] That might be a.

[00:32:51] Hot game.

[00:32:52] But.

[00:32:54] I don't know.

[00:32:55] Yeah.

[00:32:55] I don't know.

[00:32:56] Maybe that's something to do with.

[00:32:59] TV contracts or whatever.

[00:33:00] That game.

[00:33:01] The Colorado Kansas game.

[00:33:02] Is that also at Arrowhead.

[00:33:05] Or Kansas.

[00:33:06] I think.

[00:33:07] Is Kansas playing all their games this year there.

[00:33:09] While.

[00:33:10] I think.

[00:33:10] It's been renovated.

[00:33:11] I know they played Iowa State there.

[00:33:13] So I don't know if they're just.

[00:33:14] Yeah.

[00:33:14] No they did.

[00:33:15] They might be.

[00:33:16] Yeah.

[00:33:17] They might be.

[00:33:17] They might be.

[00:33:18] Doing some renovations in the stadium.

[00:33:20] But.

[00:33:20] We mentioned that's three or four for Kansas now.

[00:33:22] With that one loss being that.

[00:33:24] Two pointer.

[00:33:25] At K-State.

[00:33:26] So.

[00:33:27] Yeah.

[00:33:27] We mentioned they need it though.

[00:33:30] So.

[00:33:31] It's a.

[00:33:31] You know.

[00:33:31] Deion's going to have his boys ready.

[00:33:33] And prepared.

[00:33:34] And like I said.

[00:33:34] Iowa State at Utah later.

[00:33:36] Iowa State is the.

[00:33:38] Other.

[00:33:38] Two loss team right there.

[00:33:40] With Arizona State.

[00:33:41] So.

[00:33:42] They need to.

[00:33:43] Win.

[00:33:44] And then the other thing too is.

[00:33:45] What's the name is really getting a lot of Heisman hype now.

[00:33:50] Travis Hunter.

[00:33:51] Yeah.

[00:33:52] Ever since.

[00:33:52] Miami took that loss.

[00:33:54] It seems like Travis Hunter has kind of jumped into the.

[00:33:56] To the driver's seat with that.

[00:33:58] Yeah.

[00:33:59] How far.

[00:33:59] He's pretty much.

[00:34:00] His odds are shooting way up.

[00:34:02] He's a big time favorite now.

[00:34:04] So.

[00:34:04] Since Ashton Gentry is.

[00:34:06] It's tough to say slow down.

[00:34:08] When a guy's still going for over 150 every game.

[00:34:10] But you know.

[00:34:11] When he was over 200 for the first five games of the year.

[00:34:14] Yeah.

[00:34:15] And he.

[00:34:16] And as.

[00:34:17] You know.

[00:34:17] A running back at Boise.

[00:34:18] He really needed.

[00:34:20] Uh.

[00:34:22] Threaten.

[00:34:22] Barry Sanders.

[00:34:23] His record.

[00:34:24] I popping numbers.

[00:34:25] Yeah.

[00:34:25] You need an eye popping number.

[00:34:26] Just because it's Boise State.

[00:34:28] Yeah.

[00:34:29] But you know.

[00:34:30] If.

[00:34:30] I mean.

[00:34:31] What Travis Hunter's done is.

[00:34:34] As everybody talks about.

[00:34:35] But I mean.

[00:34:35] It's been amazing.

[00:34:36] I mean.

[00:34:37] He's.

[00:34:38] Putting up huge numbers of the receiver.

[00:34:40] But then.

[00:34:41] Such quality on the other side of the ball as well.

[00:34:43] I don't know where he finds the energy from.

[00:34:46] Um.

[00:34:46] But it's just.

[00:34:47] Amazing to watch.

[00:34:49] Um.

[00:34:49] You know.

[00:34:50] Just the fact that.

[00:34:51] He's done it all season.

[00:34:53] And it hasn't really dropped at all.

[00:34:54] In the quality.

[00:34:56] Um.

[00:34:56] You know.

[00:34:56] And he's.

[00:34:58] Playing well over 100 snaps a game.

[00:35:00] Which is.

[00:35:01] Wild.

[00:35:02] And putting up.

[00:35:03] Really good.

[00:35:04] You know.

[00:35:05] And putting up good stats too.

[00:35:06] Is not just a.

[00:35:07] Ho hum.

[00:35:08] You know.

[00:35:08] He's got almost a thousand yards.

[00:35:10] Receiving.

[00:35:10] Nine touchdowns.

[00:35:11] And 74 receptions.

[00:35:13] And he's.

[00:35:13] Right.

[00:35:14] It's.

[00:35:14] You know.

[00:35:14] I've seen some people trying to.

[00:35:16] Knock him down.

[00:35:16] Like oh.

[00:35:17] His.

[00:35:18] Defensive stats aren't that great.

[00:35:19] Well.

[00:35:19] I'm like.

[00:35:19] That's a sign of a good cornerback.

[00:35:21] When you don't.

[00:35:22] Right.

[00:35:22] You don't want to.

[00:35:23] Have a bunch of tackles.

[00:35:24] And.

[00:35:25] Yeah.

[00:35:25] You don't want your corner to have a bunch of tackles.

[00:35:27] And I mean.

[00:35:28] Yeah.

[00:35:28] If you're a lockdown corner.

[00:35:31] And.

[00:35:31] People aren't going that direction.

[00:35:33] So.

[00:35:33] It's a.

[00:35:34] It's a good thing that there aren't any stats on that side of the ball.

[00:35:36] I mean.

[00:35:37] That's the definition of a lockdown.

[00:35:39] Yeah.

[00:35:40] Exactly.

[00:35:41] Let's see what else I got.

[00:35:43] We mentioned Vandy at LSU.

[00:35:46] As LSU tries to stop their slide.

[00:35:49] Jeez.

[00:35:50] Just.

[00:35:51] Like I said.

[00:35:51] Vandy had a week off this week.

[00:35:53] So they've been preparing.

[00:35:54] So that could be.

[00:35:55] Yeah.

[00:35:55] Interesting.

[00:35:56] UMass.

[00:35:57] That's Georgia's cake team.

[00:35:58] Next week.

[00:35:59] Yeah.

[00:36:00] Kentucky visits Austin.

[00:36:03] Should be a solid win for Texas.

[00:36:06] You would think so.

[00:36:07] That schizophrenic Kentucky team.

[00:36:09] You never.

[00:36:09] Yeah.

[00:36:10] You never know when they might decide to put a scare in somebody.

[00:36:14] Yeah.

[00:36:14] They had themselves a good win.

[00:36:16] It was Murray State.

[00:36:17] Albeit.

[00:36:17] But still.

[00:36:18] 48 to 6 win yesterday.

[00:36:20] All right.

[00:36:21] So good for them to get back on track.

[00:36:26] That Ole Miss game still doesn't make sense to me.

[00:36:29] No.

[00:36:30] Yeah.

[00:36:30] It's one of those weirder ones of the year.

[00:36:33] It's one of those you look back and you're like.

[00:36:34] Oh, yeah.

[00:36:34] I don't understand.

[00:36:37] So funny.

[00:36:37] What happened here.

[00:36:38] But.

[00:36:39] Yeah.

[00:36:40] I see.

[00:36:40] Arkansas has La Tech as they try to get to bowl eligibility themselves.

[00:36:45] Texas A&M goes into Jordan here.

[00:36:49] As Auburn, they need to win out themselves to get to bowl eligibility.

[00:36:53] And A&M's trying to stay in the SEC championship game talk.

[00:36:56] Exactly.

[00:36:57] A&M needs to keep winning.

[00:36:59] Winning out.

[00:37:00] Obviously there.

[00:37:01] So.

[00:37:02] It'll be a tough.

[00:37:03] Interesting game.

[00:37:04] For the Tigers.

[00:37:05] Yeah.

[00:37:06] Another easy win for them yesterday over UL Monroe.

[00:37:09] But.

[00:37:10] Right.

[00:37:10] You know.

[00:37:11] Look.

[00:37:12] More impressive.

[00:37:13] I mean.

[00:37:13] Considering UL Monroe was having a good season.

[00:37:16] I've been to them.

[00:37:17] They've lost a couple recently.

[00:37:18] But still.

[00:37:19] You know.

[00:37:20] Not the.

[00:37:20] Better than the.

[00:37:22] Better than some UL Monroe teams have been as of late there.

[00:37:26] When their bouton was there.

[00:37:27] They're pretty terrible.

[00:37:29] Yeah.

[00:37:29] But.

[00:37:31] No.

[00:37:31] They're playing a little bit better.

[00:37:33] So.

[00:37:33] But.

[00:37:33] For the Aggies.

[00:37:35] I mean.

[00:37:36] That pressure.

[00:37:37] And you know.

[00:37:37] They really.

[00:37:38] I don't know.

[00:37:39] They don't really play well under pressure.

[00:37:41] As we saw going to South Carolina after the big win.

[00:37:46] So.

[00:37:46] We'll see what they do with this one.

[00:37:48] Another.

[00:37:49] Pressure's game.

[00:37:49] A tough atmosphere.

[00:37:50] Going to Jordan here.

[00:37:51] Anytime.

[00:37:52] Time.

[00:37:53] And you know.

[00:37:54] Well.

[00:37:55] Yeah.

[00:37:55] They just have to show that they're ready to go.

[00:37:58] Yeah.

[00:38:00] Let's see.

[00:38:01] Some.

[00:38:01] Just some.

[00:38:02] Games.

[00:38:03] Games that will have impacts on conference races.

[00:38:07] Miami hosts Wake Forest next week.

[00:38:09] As they had a bye week this week to rebound from their loss last week.

[00:38:13] SMU visits Virginia.

[00:38:16] And Clemson is done with their ACC schedule for the year.

[00:38:20] So I'm not sure how those tiebreakers work for the ACC.

[00:38:27] If Miami wins out there.

[00:38:30] They'll.

[00:38:30] They're in.

[00:38:31] Clemson.

[00:38:32] Miami owns a tiebreaker over Clemson.

[00:38:35] Because right now they would both be seven and one.

[00:38:38] That's right.

[00:38:39] I don't know.

[00:38:40] And they did not.

[00:38:41] Yeah.

[00:38:41] They didn't play head to head.

[00:38:42] So I'm not sure.

[00:38:43] I don't know if it's common opponents or what.

[00:38:44] Yeah.

[00:38:45] I don't know why I always think Clemson has two conference losses.

[00:38:48] But the other one was a Georgia.

[00:38:49] So.

[00:38:50] Yeah.

[00:38:50] No.

[00:38:51] So.

[00:38:52] Yeah.

[00:38:53] I think it would go to whoever has the better.

[00:38:56] It's kind of like the SEC thing.

[00:38:57] The common opponents.

[00:38:59] The better record.

[00:39:00] I think that's where it would go.

[00:39:02] And who knows where that's at.

[00:39:05] Because they both played for a lot of the same teams.

[00:39:08] And not very good records.

[00:39:11] I don't think for either.

[00:39:13] Yeah.

[00:39:14] But Miami.

[00:39:16] Actually.

[00:39:18] I would think Miami.

[00:39:20] Considered they beat Louisville.

[00:39:22] And Louisville beat Clemson.

[00:39:23] That might be the difference in that.

[00:39:25] Yeah.

[00:39:26] And Clemson.

[00:39:27] You know.

[00:39:27] We talked about before.

[00:39:29] They're like.

[00:39:29] These last couple wins.

[00:39:31] None of their wins had come against teams with a winning record.

[00:39:33] So.

[00:39:34] Yeah.

[00:39:34] If it's something with you.

[00:39:36] You know.

[00:39:36] Strength of schedule.

[00:39:37] Then it should be Miami.

[00:39:39] Yeah.

[00:39:39] Uh.

[00:39:40] In the.

[00:39:41] Let's move to the Big Ten.

[00:39:42] We mentioned Indiana Ohio State.

[00:39:44] Uh.

[00:39:44] Oregon has the week off next week.

[00:39:47] Uh.

[00:39:47] Penn State.

[00:39:48] Plays at Minnesota.

[00:39:50] They really don't have a.

[00:39:51] path to that title game outside of.

[00:39:55] Honestly.

[00:39:56] I don't even know if they do have a path to the Big Ten title game at this point.

[00:40:00] Um.

[00:40:01] USC and UCLA will play for the first time.

[00:40:04] Rivalry.

[00:40:05] Yeah.

[00:40:05] Big Ten.

[00:40:06] Big Ten rivalry.

[00:40:08] Um.

[00:40:09] USC.

[00:40:10] Uh.

[00:40:11] Beat Nebraska.

[00:40:13] And Nebraska is still looking for win number six.

[00:40:16] Oh my God.

[00:40:17] All the things happening.

[00:40:19] They got Wisconsin and Iowa.

[00:40:21] They host Wisconsin next week.

[00:40:23] So that's their next shot at it.

[00:40:25] That's just insane.

[00:40:26] It's crazy.

[00:40:28] Yeah.

[00:40:29] They've had like a month.

[00:40:30] To get to six wins.

[00:40:32] And they can't find it.

[00:40:33] Oh.

[00:40:34] Uh.

[00:40:34] That was tough for them.

[00:40:36] Oh yeah.

[00:40:36] It's just wild.

[00:40:37] That's a lot of tough.

[00:40:37] Yeah.

[00:40:37] Brutal.

[00:40:38] Um.

[00:40:38] Boise State.

[00:40:39] They even brought in.

[00:40:39] Uh.

[00:40:40] They even brought in.

[00:40:41] What's his name?

[00:40:41] To be their offensive coordinator.

[00:40:43] I don't know.

[00:40:43] Dana Holgerson.

[00:40:44] Yeah.

[00:40:44] Dana Holgerson.

[00:40:45] Yeah.

[00:40:45] So.

[00:40:46] I don't know.

[00:40:47] I don't know about that.

[00:40:48] Like what.

[00:40:49] What are you guys doing?

[00:40:50] I don't know.

[00:40:51] That seems very desperate.

[00:40:53] Dude.

[00:40:53] He ran a whole program into the ground.

[00:40:55] I'm sorry.

[00:40:56] Yeah.

[00:40:56] He did.

[00:40:58] I understand he's an offensive coordinator.

[00:41:00] But man.

[00:41:00] You ran a whole program that was up and up.

[00:41:03] When you came in.

[00:41:05] Into the ground.

[00:41:07] At Houston.

[00:41:08] Yeah.

[00:41:09] Uh.

[00:41:09] I don't.

[00:41:10] It's tough.

[00:41:11] Uh.

[00:41:12] Boise State.

[00:41:12] Still looking to keep on track.

[00:41:14] They visit Wyoming.

[00:41:15] Uh.

[00:41:15] Wyoming having a really bad season there.

[00:41:18] So that shouldn't be a problem for Boise.

[00:41:20] Should be good.

[00:41:22] And then.

[00:41:23] And the American.

[00:41:25] We mentioned Tulane and Army have already clinched their spot.

[00:41:28] But they obviously.

[00:41:30] Keep winning.

[00:41:31] Tulane.

[00:41:32] Looks like they have the week off next week.

[00:41:33] So.

[00:41:33] Oh.

[00:41:34] Okay.

[00:41:34] They will rest up for whatever their last game is.

[00:41:38] Yeah.

[00:41:38] But that should do it for the college game.

[00:41:40] Let's go ahead and move to the pros.

[00:41:43] Uh.

[00:41:44] Some big division tilts this week.

[00:41:46] Very good games.

[00:41:47] NFL.

[00:41:48] Yeah.

[00:41:48] Thursday night.

[00:41:49] Started Thursday night.

[00:41:50] The Eagles beat the Commanders.

[00:41:53] Uh.

[00:41:53] In a big NFC East battle.

[00:41:55] Another huge game for Saquon Barkley.

[00:41:57] Uh.

[00:41:58] And then today.

[00:41:59] A couple big ones.

[00:42:01] Early on.

[00:42:02] The Steelers beat the Ravens.

[00:42:03] This is just a sloppy ugly game.

[00:42:06] It's just a.

[00:42:06] Yeah.

[00:42:07] It's a voodoo.

[00:42:07] This is now eight of nine.

[00:42:09] The Steelers have taken.

[00:42:10] Lamar Jackson is only one of five against them.

[00:42:13] I couldn't believe they missed two field goals in the first half.

[00:42:17] Yeah.

[00:42:17] Justin Tucker.

[00:42:18] What?

[00:42:19] Missed back-to-back field goals for the first time.

[00:42:21] I think since 2017.

[00:42:22] That's all.

[00:42:24] Uh.

[00:42:25] And just creating that.

[00:42:26] What's the difference in the game?

[00:42:27] And just.

[00:42:28] Yeah.

[00:42:29] Uncharacteristic mistakes.

[00:42:30] The Ravens had gone.

[00:42:30] I think four or five straight games without a turnover.

[00:42:33] They had three today.

[00:42:34] Two fumbles.

[00:42:34] Which led to two Pittsburgh field goals.

[00:42:37] And then a freak interception late in the game.

[00:42:39] When.

[00:42:40] Uh.

[00:42:40] Justice Hill ran a little wheel route out of the background.

[00:42:43] Lamar dropped the dime in there.

[00:42:45] But then the defender.

[00:42:46] Who was just trailing Hill.

[00:42:49] Yeah.

[00:42:49] Just kind of.

[00:42:50] Strip the ball from Hill.

[00:42:51] As they're falling to the ground.

[00:42:53] While he played to the whistle.

[00:42:54] I guess.

[00:42:55] But man.

[00:42:55] That was crazy.

[00:42:56] That was a big moment.

[00:42:58] Because it was right after.

[00:43:00] Uh.

[00:43:00] The Ravens got a big pick in the end zone.

[00:43:02] Off of Russell.

[00:43:03] So it looked like the.

[00:43:04] Yeah.

[00:43:04] Marlon Humphrey had a big.

[00:43:05] Interception.

[00:43:06] It looks like the Steelers could have really put the game away.

[00:43:08] Marlon Humphrey gets an interception end zone.

[00:43:10] The Ravens start driving.

[00:43:12] And.

[00:43:12] You know.

[00:43:12] Had Justice Hill hung on that pass.

[00:43:14] I think they would have been.

[00:43:15] First and 10 at the 20 or so.

[00:43:17] Yeah.

[00:43:18] And then they.

[00:43:19] But you know.

[00:43:20] They do come back.

[00:43:21] And get the touchdown.

[00:43:22] And get the touchdown at the end.

[00:43:23] And then just.

[00:43:24] That was a terrible two point play call.

[00:43:27] Because someone.

[00:43:28] Didn't run the right route.

[00:43:30] Because I.

[00:43:30] I think Lamar thought someone was going to.

[00:43:32] They even were talking about that.

[00:43:33] They.

[00:43:33] Like where.

[00:43:34] Someone was supposed to be there.

[00:43:35] Because obviously Lamar was looking for someone to pass the ball to.

[00:43:38] Yeah.

[00:43:38] Didn't look.

[00:43:39] It looked like.

[00:43:39] Kind of a similar play.

[00:43:41] They ran.

[00:43:42] Maybe was it last week.

[00:43:44] Or no.

[00:43:44] The Cincinnati game.

[00:43:45] Yeah.

[00:43:45] So that was last week.

[00:43:46] Yeah.

[00:43:46] When he kind of ran out to the.

[00:43:48] He sprinted to his right that time though.

[00:43:50] And it looked like he was.

[00:43:50] Is just one of those QB sweeps.

[00:43:52] And then he just dunked it over the top.

[00:43:54] But yeah.

[00:43:55] No one was there.

[00:43:56] But.

[00:43:56] The big thing.

[00:43:57] That I saw was.

[00:43:58] Why don't you have Derrick Henry on the field.

[00:44:01] In that situation.

[00:44:03] Exactly.

[00:44:04] Everyone then keys on Lamar.

[00:44:06] So if.

[00:44:06] If that was a design run.

[00:44:07] Then you made it obvious.

[00:44:09] And I'm.

[00:44:10] Honestly.

[00:44:10] Looking at the play.

[00:44:11] Probably.

[00:44:12] At the.

[00:44:13] Play should have been.

[00:44:13] The jet sweep.

[00:44:14] Those flowers.

[00:44:15] Because it looked like he could have had the corner there.

[00:44:17] Yeah.

[00:44:18] But.

[00:44:19] Either way.

[00:44:19] Yeah.

[00:44:20] Why.

[00:44:20] Derrick Henry isn't on the field right there.

[00:44:22] To at least.

[00:44:22] Give the defense.

[00:44:23] Give that idea.

[00:44:24] That maybe we're going to run it.

[00:44:26] Yeah.

[00:44:26] Like.

[00:44:27] Give them a couple.

[00:44:28] Players to think about.

[00:44:29] You know.

[00:44:30] Because he had some big runs.

[00:44:31] Not a lot of carries.

[00:44:33] But some big runs there against.

[00:44:34] No.

[00:44:34] Yeah.

[00:44:35] Yeah.

[00:44:36] Yeah.

[00:44:36] Yeah.

[00:44:36] It was one of those things.

[00:44:37] Where you're kind of like.

[00:44:38] Why.

[00:44:39] Yeah.

[00:44:39] With the offense struggling like it was.

[00:44:41] Why aren't you leaning on.

[00:44:42] Derrick Henry.

[00:44:43] Because he was having success.

[00:44:45] Yeah.

[00:44:46] I know.

[00:44:46] As Raven fans.

[00:44:47] You guys are wondering.

[00:44:48] What the hell is with this game?

[00:44:50] It is.

[00:44:51] And I'm funny.

[00:44:51] I was.

[00:44:51] I was texting friends earlier.

[00:44:53] I was just like.

[00:44:53] You know.

[00:44:53] I have just stopped.

[00:44:56] Stressing over this game.

[00:44:57] Because I know it's going to be dumb.

[00:44:58] I know they're going to play.

[00:45:00] Uncharacteristic.

[00:45:02] Yeah.

[00:45:02] It's especially in Pittsburgh.

[00:45:04] It's just going to be weird.

[00:45:05] And Pittsburgh's going to do some fluky shit.

[00:45:07] I mean.

[00:45:07] But.

[00:45:08] Yeah.

[00:45:08] The defense.

[00:45:10] Much maligned all year.

[00:45:11] Yeah.

[00:45:12] Held them to all field goals.

[00:45:13] Hold them to six.

[00:45:14] Yeah.

[00:45:14] Field goals.

[00:45:15] And.

[00:45:15] Six field goals.

[00:45:17] Isn't that like the second or third time.

[00:45:19] That Pittsburgh's won off all field goals.

[00:45:20] I swear.

[00:45:21] I believe they did it the first week against Atlanta.

[00:45:23] Or something like that too.

[00:45:24] Yeah.

[00:45:25] It won like 15 to 12 or something.

[00:45:28] Yeah.

[00:45:28] Just.

[00:45:29] 15, 13.

[00:45:30] Something weird like that.

[00:45:31] Something weird.

[00:45:32] So.

[00:45:32] Credit to their defense.

[00:45:33] Yeah.

[00:45:34] Yeah.

[00:45:35] I mean.

[00:45:35] They did a good job on their defense.

[00:45:37] Holding you guys there.

[00:45:40] I guess the other.

[00:45:42] What was the other turnover where likely.

[00:45:45] He just got.

[00:45:47] Oh.

[00:45:48] Yeah.

[00:45:48] Just.

[00:45:49] That was ugly.

[00:45:50] He got blessed.

[00:45:51] Yeah.

[00:45:52] Yeah.

[00:45:52] But it was just those two.

[00:45:54] Like I said.

[00:45:54] Two.

[00:45:54] You know.

[00:45:54] Fumble on what.

[00:45:55] Like the second play of the game.

[00:45:56] But yeah.

[00:45:56] But you look at those.

[00:45:57] You think.

[00:45:58] Man.

[00:45:58] Those two field goals.

[00:45:59] You guys win the game.

[00:46:01] Yeah.

[00:46:01] Yeah.

[00:46:01] Exactly.

[00:46:02] You probably won't miss another field goal.

[00:46:03] For the rest of the season.

[00:46:05] He did.

[00:46:06] He did come back later in the game.

[00:46:07] Hit a 54 yard.

[00:46:08] Yeah.

[00:46:08] He booted that 54.

[00:46:09] But.

[00:46:10] Yeah.

[00:46:11] And you know.

[00:46:12] Knowing the type of guy he is too.

[00:46:14] There is no one angrier than.

[00:46:16] Oh.

[00:46:17] Another touchdown.

[00:46:18] And tied it up.

[00:46:20] They were down 27 to 6.

[00:46:22] Yeah.

[00:46:23] This was not a close game.

[00:46:25] 27 to 3 even.

[00:46:26] Weren't they?

[00:46:28] I don't know.

[00:46:29] There we go.

[00:46:30] This is very Charger-like.

[00:46:32] Yes.

[00:46:32] From past.

[00:46:33] Past staffs.

[00:46:35] Yeah.

[00:46:36] So Jim Harbaugh.

[00:46:37] Some things don't change I guess.

[00:46:38] I think it's all karma for moving out of San Diego.

[00:46:41] Yeah.

[00:46:42] Could be.

[00:46:43] Makes sense.

[00:46:44] That's just Jamar Chase also man.

[00:46:46] He's just running them defenders.

[00:46:47] He's a fan.

[00:46:49] Man.

[00:46:49] For as bad as that team.

[00:46:51] I mean.

[00:46:51] And they've been in some close games.

[00:46:53] But Jamar just keeps going.

[00:46:54] Like that dude.

[00:46:55] Is ridiculous.

[00:46:57] Keeps going.

[00:46:57] And then Joe Burrow again.

[00:46:59] You have to give him all credit.

[00:47:00] Because again.

[00:47:00] Just seeing that replay.

[00:47:01] He took another shot man.

[00:47:02] He just gets the shit kicked out of him back there.

[00:47:06] Dude.

[00:47:07] They.

[00:47:07] They.

[00:47:09] Still haven't figured out at all.

[00:47:10] Offensive line at all.

[00:47:11] Mm-mm.

[00:47:12] It just kind of.

[00:47:13] It felt like they gave up on it.

[00:47:15] Like they just.

[00:47:16] Yeah.

[00:47:19] But it's funny.

[00:47:20] Because you know.

[00:47:20] People have talked about that.

[00:47:21] Ever since they made the pick of Jamar Chase.

[00:47:23] Like should they have gotten.

[00:47:25] I forget who the.

[00:47:26] Is Sewell.

[00:47:27] It might have been Penny Sewell.

[00:47:29] Sewell.

[00:47:29] From.

[00:47:30] Yeah.

[00:47:30] The Oregon guy.

[00:47:31] Yeah.

[00:47:31] Yeah.

[00:47:31] He got.

[00:47:32] You know.

[00:47:33] They.

[00:47:33] They.

[00:47:33] Should we get someone to protect Burrow.

[00:47:35] Or should we get Chase.

[00:47:36] And it's hard to argue against Chase.

[00:47:38] Because the connection he and Burrow have.

[00:47:39] I mean.

[00:47:39] He's obviously.

[00:47:41] Been absolutely great there.

[00:47:42] But.

[00:47:43] And you know.

[00:47:43] They got to do something.

[00:47:44] Either through the draft.

[00:47:46] Trades.

[00:47:46] Free agency.

[00:47:47] You got to protect your franchise quarterback.

[00:47:49] Crazy as sounds.

[00:47:50] I think they made the right choice.

[00:47:52] Because without that.

[00:47:53] You know.

[00:47:54] They made.

[00:47:54] It might have been a little fluky.

[00:47:55] But they did make that Super Bowl.

[00:47:57] I don't think they made that Super Bowl.

[00:47:59] If it's not.

[00:48:00] Jamar is not on that team.

[00:48:01] No.

[00:48:02] And I agree.

[00:48:03] I think it's the right choice.

[00:48:04] But they got to.

[00:48:04] That means you have to address the line.

[00:48:06] Yeah.

[00:48:07] His season.

[00:48:07] His career.

[00:48:08] He's already had plenty of injuries.

[00:48:10] So his career is going to be way shorter than what it should be.

[00:48:12] If things continue like that.

[00:48:15] But yeah.

[00:48:15] So that's a tie ball game.

[00:48:17] About 12 minutes left here.

[00:48:19] Yeah.

[00:48:19] Wow.

[00:48:20] Should be a good finish as the Bengals.

[00:48:21] You know.

[00:48:22] Still desperate to.

[00:48:23] Yeah.

[00:48:24] Turn their season around.

[00:48:25] Of course.

[00:48:25] The other big one today.

[00:48:27] Chiefs and Bills.

[00:48:28] And the Bills.

[00:48:29] What a game that was.

[00:48:29] Handed the Chiefs their first loss.

[00:48:32] As Josh Allen.

[00:48:33] Just.

[00:48:33] He had one of his.

[00:48:35] Great run of his own.

[00:48:37] To seal that game.

[00:48:37] He said.

[00:48:38] Nah.

[00:48:38] I'm putting this one away.

[00:48:39] He said.

[00:48:40] Not today.

[00:48:41] Kansas City.

[00:48:43] Not today.

[00:48:44] He said.

[00:48:44] No fluky shit.

[00:48:45] We're not settling for a field goal.

[00:48:47] And giving y'all away.

[00:48:48] Back in this.

[00:48:50] No 13 seconds right here.

[00:48:52] Yeah.

[00:48:52] That was a grown man run.

[00:48:54] It was.

[00:48:55] It was a grown man run.

[00:48:56] And.

[00:48:57] Is Buffalo the best team in the league right now?

[00:49:01] Man.

[00:49:01] They've been playing some good football recently.

[00:49:04] It's either them or Detroit.

[00:49:06] Yeah.

[00:49:07] Yeah.

[00:49:08] Speaking of Detroit.

[00:49:10] Just murdered.

[00:49:11] Jacksonville today.

[00:49:12] Yeah.

[00:49:13] 52 to 6.

[00:49:15] Jesus.

[00:49:17] Jameson Williams getting back in the action with a deep touchdown.

[00:49:20] Amon.

[00:49:20] And Gibbs.

[00:49:21] Ross St. Brown.

[00:49:23] Yeah.

[00:49:23] Amir Gibbs just I think had a run at one point where he hit like 22 miles an hour.

[00:49:29] Wow.

[00:49:29] Amon Ross St. Brown.

[00:49:30] 11 catches.

[00:49:31] 161.

[00:49:32] Two touchdowns.

[00:49:33] He knows.

[00:49:33] Touchdown catches in like 10 straight games I think.

[00:49:36] Yeah.

[00:49:37] They have so many weapons there.

[00:49:39] And then that defense has gotten better.

[00:49:41] Mm-hmm.

[00:49:42] It improves.

[00:49:43] That defense gets better every week.

[00:49:44] And yes.

[00:49:45] Jacksonville.

[00:49:45] So don't take too much.

[00:49:46] Yeah.

[00:49:46] I mean.

[00:49:47] But still.

[00:49:48] They did what they were supposed to do.

[00:49:49] Right.

[00:49:49] Any time in the NFL when you put up 50 some.

[00:49:52] I don't care.

[00:49:53] That's impressive.

[00:49:54] You're going up with other pros.

[00:49:57] Regardless of the team.

[00:49:58] You're still putting up 50 some in the NFL.

[00:50:01] I mean.

[00:50:01] It doesn't happen that much in today's NFL.

[00:50:04] Yeah.

[00:50:04] As explosive as offensive water and point and yards and stuff.

[00:50:08] 50 is still a huge ass number in the NFL.

[00:50:12] So.

[00:50:14] Yeah.

[00:50:16] Other interesting.

[00:50:17] The Broncos routed the Falcons today.

[00:50:20] Did they?

[00:50:21] Wow.

[00:50:21] Yeah.

[00:50:22] Big win for them.

[00:50:23] And then the Seahawks beat the 49ers.

[00:50:26] Interesting.

[00:50:27] Interesting.

[00:50:28] Game there.

[00:50:29] Good win for them.

[00:50:30] Yeah.

[00:50:30] That NFC West just continues to be.

[00:50:34] It's a wild win.

[00:50:36] Crazy.

[00:50:36] Yeah.

[00:50:37] It's the big 12 of.

[00:50:37] It's the big 12 of divisions.

[00:50:39] It is.

[00:50:40] It is.

[00:50:41] As the Rams.

[00:50:42] They struggled a little bit in the end there.

[00:50:44] But they beat the Patriots.

[00:50:47] Big Dave.

[00:50:48] Matt Stafford.

[00:50:49] Our touchdown passes.

[00:50:51] And Akula had the wide receiver.

[00:50:53] Yep.

[00:50:57] Yeah.

[00:50:59] Seven catches.

[00:51:00] 123.

[00:51:01] And a touchdown.

[00:51:02] Yeah.

[00:51:04] Yeah.

[00:51:05] That makes that.

[00:51:06] That NFC West now.

[00:51:07] Arizona's leading at six and four.

[00:51:09] Then the other three teams are all five and five.

[00:51:12] And then looking ahead to next week.

[00:51:16] The Cardinals visit Seattle.

[00:51:18] And the 49ers have to go to the Packers.

[00:51:20] And the Rams host the Eagles.

[00:51:22] So just.

[00:51:24] Yeah.

[00:51:26] Yeah.

[00:51:26] Crazy.

[00:51:27] Crazy.

[00:51:28] Yeah.

[00:51:29] So if you look through the.

[00:51:30] Some of the standings right now.

[00:51:31] You got.

[00:51:32] Buffalo running away with the ASC East.

[00:51:35] Pittsburgh.

[00:51:36] Huge win now.

[00:51:36] Because that's a two game lead for them.

[00:51:38] Plus.

[00:51:40] One win over the Ravens.

[00:51:41] So.

[00:51:42] The Ravens need to get their win back later in the year.

[00:51:44] But.

[00:51:45] That's now five straight wins for the Steelers.

[00:51:48] Russ is four and oh.

[00:51:49] Since taking over as starter.

[00:51:51] Just absolutely.

[00:51:52] Yeah.

[00:51:52] Crazy.

[00:51:53] Houston.

[00:51:54] Six and four.

[00:51:56] Leading the ASC South.

[00:51:59] Yeah.

[00:52:00] Yeah.

[00:52:01] See.

[00:52:01] Indies five and six behind them.

[00:52:04] Anthony Richardson.

[00:52:06] Back starting for them.

[00:52:07] And yeah.

[00:52:08] They beat the Jets.

[00:52:09] As the Jets lose again.

[00:52:12] Yeah.

[00:52:12] But no.

[00:52:13] Good game from Richardson too.

[00:52:31] Yeah.

[00:52:31] Crazy.

[00:52:32] And of course the West.

[00:52:34] The Chiefs running away with it.

[00:52:36] Although.

[00:52:37] If.

[00:52:37] The Chargers can.

[00:52:39] Hold on.

[00:52:51] Yeah.

[00:52:51] But.

[00:52:52] Over in the NFC.

[00:52:53] The Eagles.

[00:52:54] That big win.

[00:52:55] Now.

[00:52:55] A two game lead over Washington.

[00:52:58] The Lions.

[00:52:59] Still just a one game lead over Minnesota.

[00:53:01] But they do have that head to head win.

[00:53:02] As the Vikings.

[00:53:04] Did get a win over the.

[00:53:05] Who did they play?

[00:53:06] The Titans.

[00:53:07] And not an overly impressive win.

[00:53:10] But a win nonetheless.

[00:53:12] Mm-hmm.

[00:53:13] The NFC South.

[00:53:15] Just continues to be a mess.

[00:53:16] As the Falcons.

[00:53:17] Still leading at six and five.

[00:53:18] Over the.

[00:53:19] The Bucks at four seven.

[00:53:21] The Saints.

[00:53:22] Another win now.

[00:53:23] As they won now.

[00:53:24] Two.

[00:53:24] Two in a row.

[00:53:26] After.

[00:53:26] Firing Dennis Allen.

[00:53:31] Yeah.

[00:53:32] I mean.

[00:53:33] According to every Saints fan.

[00:53:34] I know he definitely was the problem.

[00:53:37] So.

[00:53:38] Yeah.

[00:53:39] And of course we mentioned that.

[00:53:41] Crazy.

[00:53:41] In the Sea West.

[00:53:43] And.

[00:53:43] Next week.

[00:53:44] Along with.

[00:53:45] The.

[00:53:46] The three games I talked about.

[00:53:47] The Ravens and Chargers play Monday night.

[00:53:49] And the old Harbole.

[00:53:51] So yeah.

[00:53:52] That'll be a.

[00:53:53] Crazy one.

[00:53:56] But yeah.

[00:53:57] Uh.

[00:53:58] Moving on.

[00:54:04] Oh wait.

[00:54:04] Hold up here.

[00:54:05] Oh.

[00:54:07] It says your recording has failed.

[00:54:10] Everything.

[00:54:11] Up until now has been saved to continue recording.

[00:54:14] Tell them to stop and restart the studio.

[00:54:18] Restart the studio recording.

[00:54:20] But you're still rolling here so.

[00:54:23] Yeah.

[00:54:24] There you go.

[00:54:33] Yeah.

[00:54:33] And we're back.

[00:54:35] Still going.

[00:54:36] Weird.

[00:54:36] All right.

[00:54:37] Well.

[00:54:37] We'll see.

[00:54:38] We'll fix that in editing.

[00:54:40] Uh.

[00:54:40] Yeah.

[00:54:40] Let's move on to.

[00:54:42] The.

[00:54:43] Uh.

[00:54:43] The rest of the sports world here.

[00:54:45] NBA.

[00:54:45] The Cavs are still unbeaten.

[00:54:47] Uh.

[00:54:48] Undefeated.

[00:54:48] Look at them.

[00:54:50] Crazy.

[00:54:50] 15 and 0 now.

[00:54:52] They are.

[00:54:54] They're looking good.

[00:54:55] They even rested.

[00:54:57] Uh.

[00:54:58] Devin Mitchell today.

[00:54:59] Uh.

[00:54:59] Yeah.

[00:55:00] So he got.

[00:55:10] News.

[00:55:11] Uh.

[00:55:11] Inside the NBA.

[00:55:12] Will officially air on ESPN and ABC.

[00:55:16] Starting next year.

[00:55:17] So.

[00:55:18] It's weird though.

[00:55:19] It'll still be in the Turner Studios.

[00:55:20] And Turner's recording.

[00:55:22] Yeah.

[00:55:22] They'll still be producing.

[00:55:23] TNT Sports will still produce it.

[00:55:25] Still record it there.

[00:55:26] Still the same crew.

[00:55:28] But.

[00:55:28] But it won't be every.

[00:55:29] It's weird.

[00:55:30] It won't.

[00:55:31] Won't be every game.

[00:55:32] It'll be like.

[00:55:34] Big.

[00:55:34] It'll be like.

[00:55:35] Start of the year.

[00:55:36] Christmas.

[00:55:37] And then.

[00:55:37] Playoffs.

[00:55:38] And.

[00:55:39] Yeah.

[00:55:40] Looking at the report.

[00:55:41] It said it'll be.

[00:55:43] Uh.

[00:55:44] Where you.

[00:55:45] You had it right.

[00:55:45] It was like.

[00:55:46] Christmas games.

[00:55:47] Uh.

[00:55:47] Early big game.

[00:55:48] You know.

[00:55:48] Obviously.

[00:55:49] Opening day.

[00:55:50] Christmas.

[00:55:51] Games.

[00:55:52] Uh.

[00:55:53] I just had it there.

[00:55:54] The playoffs.

[00:55:55] And the finals.

[00:55:56] And then they said.

[00:55:57] It will also likely.

[00:55:58] Uh.

[00:55:59] ABC has a primetime package.

[00:56:01] For Saturday night games.

[00:56:02] Saturday night.

[00:56:03] That's what it is.

[00:56:03] Yeah.

[00:56:04] And it'll probably.

[00:56:05] During that.

[00:56:05] So.

[00:56:06] Okay.

[00:56:06] Uh.

[00:56:07] It should have the same feel.

[00:56:08] It just won't be as.

[00:56:10] Much as we're used to it.

[00:56:11] At least until the second.

[00:56:13] As.

[00:56:13] Of the season.

[00:56:14] Right.

[00:56:16] I wonder if it'll.

[00:56:18] I know ESPN is a family guy.

[00:56:20] So.

[00:56:20] I wonder if.

[00:56:22] Supposedly.

[00:56:22] You know.

[00:56:23] With the Disney connection.

[00:56:24] If how.

[00:56:25] If they'll.

[00:56:26] Change.

[00:56:27] Change.

[00:56:28] Change the.

[00:56:28] The way of the show at all.

[00:56:30] Hopefully.

[00:56:30] They'll just let it go.

[00:56:31] Because I mean.

[00:56:33] I mean.

[00:56:33] They gotta let these guys.

[00:56:34] Be themselves.

[00:56:35] I mean.

[00:56:35] That's why they're.

[00:56:36] Inside the NBA is.

[00:56:38] Still.

[00:56:39] Cause you know.

[00:56:40] Cause I would like.

[00:56:41] I know we had talked about it some.

[00:56:43] And you know.

[00:56:44] You'd have to think.

[00:56:45] Without the.

[00:56:45] Inside the NBA.

[00:56:46] Anywhere.

[00:56:47] That'd be ridiculous.

[00:56:48] Mm-hmm.

[00:56:50] So just let them be them.

[00:56:51] And uh.

[00:56:52] You know.

[00:56:55] Uh.

[00:56:56] Yeah.

[00:56:56] No.

[00:56:56] And.

[00:56:57] Them still being produced by TNT Sports.

[00:56:59] Is.

[00:57:00] Hopefully.

[00:57:00] A good sign.

[00:57:02] Yeah.

[00:57:03] Other than that.

[00:57:04] Because honestly.

[00:57:05] I think ESPN does a great job.

[00:57:08] In the game.

[00:57:10] As far as the in-game announcers.

[00:57:11] And sideline and stuff.

[00:57:13] Mm-hmm.

[00:57:14] What.

[00:57:14] That.

[00:57:15] Halftime post game.

[00:57:17] Is just so.

[00:57:18] It's.

[00:57:18] It's a.

[00:57:19] It's a mess.

[00:57:20] Yeah.

[00:57:20] It's a jumbled mess.

[00:57:22] It's.

[00:57:22] Boring.

[00:57:23] Yeah.

[00:57:23] It's.

[00:57:24] It's.

[00:57:24] Yeah.

[00:57:25] Oh my goodness.

[00:57:27] So happy.

[00:57:28] That they're gonna be the guys.

[00:57:29] Because that was always the thing.

[00:57:30] You know.

[00:57:31] After the Western Conference Finals.

[00:57:32] You're like.

[00:57:33] Why can't they be the finals guys?

[00:57:37] Yeah.

[00:57:38] You know.

[00:57:38] Because they.

[00:57:39] Now they don't call the finals.

[00:57:40] You know.

[00:57:41] They'll be the team for the finals.

[00:57:42] So that'll be great.

[00:57:44] Yeah.

[00:57:45] Clearly.

[00:57:45] The.

[00:57:45] Everyone's favorite.

[00:57:46] The best studio crew.

[00:57:48] Oh.

[00:57:48] Obviously.

[00:57:49] Um.

[00:57:49] Let's see.

[00:57:50] Other than that.

[00:57:51] Um.

[00:57:51] Looks like our Pels and Mavs will play.

[00:57:55] Struggling.

[00:57:56] Struggling too.

[00:57:57] But.

[00:57:57] They'll play each other Tuesday.

[00:57:59] Yeah.

[00:58:00] Um.

[00:58:01] Because I think we won today.

[00:58:03] If I'm not mistaken.

[00:58:04] I'm not.

[00:58:10] Mm-hmm.

[00:58:11] Yeah.

[00:58:11] At this point in the year.

[00:58:12] Yeah.

[00:58:13] Um.

[00:58:14] It's weird.

[00:58:15] The Pelican.

[00:58:15] You know.

[00:58:15] Lost to the Lakers the other night.

[00:58:18] But somehow beat the Nuggets.

[00:58:21] Uh.

[00:58:21] Earlier this week.

[00:58:22] So.

[00:58:23] Um.

[00:58:24] Big game from Brennan Ingram.

[00:58:25] Is how they did it.

[00:58:26] But.

[00:58:27] As they continue.

[00:58:27] Just to be ravaged by injuries.

[00:58:29] Just.

[00:58:30] Yeah.

[00:58:31] Just so.

[00:58:32] Just horrible.

[00:58:33] Insane to look at the.

[00:58:35] Insane to look at their.

[00:58:37] Uh.

[00:58:38] Oh.

[00:58:38] I didn't realize Jokic didn't play in that.

[00:58:40] Game they win.

[00:58:41] Well.

[00:58:41] That'll.

[00:58:42] That usually helps.

[00:58:44] Uh.

[00:58:44] That'll help.

[00:58:47] Let's see.

[00:58:47] Uh.

[00:58:48] Anything I see.

[00:58:49] The Wings.

[00:58:50] Uh.

[00:58:50] Of the WNBA.

[00:58:51] Won that draft lottery.

[00:58:53] I don't know.

[00:58:53] So I'll probably take.

[00:58:54] Um.

[00:58:56] The UConn.

[00:58:57] Star.

[00:58:58] Oh.

[00:58:58] Yeah.

[00:59:00] Well.

[00:59:00] What is her name?

[00:59:01] Yeah.

[00:59:02] No.

[00:59:02] That's probably it.

[00:59:04] And then other than that.

[00:59:05] Just.

[00:59:08] This is pretty much it.

[00:59:09] From the sports world.

[00:59:10] And you have anything else.

[00:59:11] You wanted to touch on?

[00:59:13] Um.

[00:59:13] Um.

[00:59:15] I'm trying to think.

[00:59:17] Paige.

[00:59:18] Buchers.

[00:59:19] That's.

[00:59:19] Yeah.

[00:59:20] Yeah.

[00:59:21] She's been.

[00:59:22] You know.

[00:59:23] Outside of her injuries.

[00:59:24] She's been amazing at UConn.

[00:59:26] So.

[00:59:26] You know.

[00:59:27] Hopefully she's stayed.

[00:59:28] Continue to stay healthy.

[00:59:29] And give them another run.

[00:59:31] Um.

[00:59:31] Before heading on.

[00:59:33] Um.

[00:59:34] Outside of that.

[00:59:35] Uh.

[00:59:36] You know.

[00:59:36] To be.

[00:59:38] I think it's going to be interesting.

[00:59:39] This next couple of weeks there.

[00:59:44] Just with.

[00:59:45] Folks that are going to jump in the transfer portal.

[00:59:48] I think it's going to be very interesting.

[00:59:50] We're going to get that early signing.

[00:59:52] You know.

[00:59:53] Which has really become the signing day in December.

[00:59:57] There's some flips around the country.

[00:59:59] Right now.

[01:00:00] Like the USC got.

[01:00:01] Uh.

[01:00:02] Flip from.

[01:00:03] Uh.

[01:00:03] Uh.

[01:00:04] What was it?

[01:00:05] Was it.

[01:00:06] Floor?

[01:00:07] I forget.

[01:00:08] But USC got a big.

[01:00:09] Quarterback flip.

[01:00:10] But they might be losing their.

[01:00:12] Uh.

[01:00:12] But that may be.

[01:00:13] Because they're losing their guy.

[01:00:15] Uh.

[01:00:16] Went to the portal.

[01:00:17] And it's looking like.

[01:00:18] That might be Prime's next move.

[01:00:19] In Colorado.

[01:00:20] Oh.

[01:00:21] Interesting.

[01:00:22] Oh.

[01:00:23] Big interception here for.

[01:00:25] Chargers.

[01:00:25] Huge interception.

[01:00:26] Oh.

[01:00:27] Flag on the floor.

[01:00:28] So.

[01:00:28] That.

[01:00:28] I think it's going to be very interesting.

[01:00:30] Just because.

[01:00:31] You know.

[01:00:31] With all the money flying around.

[01:00:32] And then that transfer portal.

[01:00:33] It's going to be interesting.

[01:00:35] Because I think there's going to be a lot of people moving around.

[01:00:37] Mm-hmm.

[01:00:39] Uh.

[01:00:40] Yeah.

[01:00:41] Oh.

[01:00:41] They didn't call.

[01:00:42] Oh.

[01:00:43] Wow.

[01:00:44] They.

[01:00:46] They didn't call that.

[01:00:47] I don't know.

[01:00:47] I'm shocked.

[01:00:48] They didn't.

[01:00:49] That is absolutely shocking for the NFL.

[01:00:53] Jeez.

[01:00:54] There was a pretty bad.

[01:00:55] Roughing the passer yesterday.

[01:00:57] What game was that?

[01:01:00] One of the earlier games.

[01:01:02] Somebody got called for a roughing a passer.

[01:01:04] And it was pretty bad.

[01:01:06] Was it?

[01:01:07] Yeah.

[01:01:08] Even like.

[01:01:08] You know.

[01:01:08] They had the ref specialist on there.

[01:01:10] Or whatever.

[01:01:10] And he was like.

[01:01:11] Yeah.

[01:01:12] Yeah.

[01:01:12] He was like.

[01:01:13] I don't see how you can throw this flag.

[01:01:15] Oh.

[01:01:15] He was saying.

[01:01:15] It's yes.

[01:01:16] I wish I could remember.

[01:01:18] But it was.

[01:01:18] I know the coach was hot.

[01:01:20] Uh.

[01:01:20] Yeah.

[01:01:20] Another.

[01:01:22] The ESPN dude.

[01:01:23] He's been pretty legit.

[01:01:25] Because he doesn't always agree with the refs.

[01:01:27] You know.

[01:01:27] On the field.

[01:01:28] Mm-hmm.

[01:01:28] Which is.

[01:01:30] For a while.

[01:01:31] It seemed like they would always go with the refs.

[01:01:33] No matter what.

[01:01:34] Mm-hmm.

[01:01:34] But he's.

[01:01:35] I think they've gotten better at.

[01:01:37] You know.

[01:01:37] Well.

[01:01:38] Maybe.

[01:01:39] You know.

[01:01:39] But.

[01:01:42] Yeah.

[01:01:42] It's.

[01:01:44] It's what you want.

[01:01:45] You just want some.

[01:01:46] And you know.

[01:01:47] Be honest with us.

[01:01:48] It's kind of.

[01:01:48] I think it's kind of what people.

[01:01:50] Why Tom Brady is failing as an announcer so far.

[01:01:52] Because he's not really giving us that.

[01:01:54] Detailed analysis.

[01:01:55] That everyone thought that he could bring.

[01:01:57] Um.

[01:01:58] And if you're going to have these refs on.

[01:02:00] To talk about all these.

[01:02:01] Yeah.

[01:02:01] That's true.

[01:02:02] Uh.

[01:02:03] If you're going to have all the.

[01:02:04] Ooh.

[01:02:04] That is.

[01:02:04] Ooh.

[01:02:05] Oh wait.

[01:02:05] So did they.

[01:02:06] Call.

[01:02:07] Why did they negate the.

[01:02:09] Interception.

[01:02:09] I missed that.

[01:02:10] In the.

[01:02:11] Chargers game.

[01:02:11] They must have called the.

[01:02:13] Off sides or something.

[01:02:14] Well they didn't call it.

[01:02:15] Yeah.

[01:02:16] It's because it's third down.

[01:02:17] I missed something there.

[01:02:17] But anyway.

[01:02:19] Uh.

[01:02:20] They must have.

[01:02:20] They must have called that.

[01:02:22] Yeah.

[01:02:23] Uh.

[01:02:23] Let's see.

[01:02:24] Uh.

[01:02:24] Oh.

[01:02:25] Here's a notable.

[01:02:25] Something else from sports.

[01:02:26] We don't talk a lot of NHL here.

[01:02:28] But.

[01:02:29] Alex Ovechkin is now.

[01:02:30] Had a hat trick today.

[01:02:31] Versus Vegas.

[01:02:32] He is now up to 866.

[01:02:34] Career goals.

[01:02:35] As he chases.

[01:02:36] Wayne Gretzky's.

[01:02:37] All time mark of 894.

[01:02:39] Oh.

[01:02:40] So he was within 30 now.

[01:02:42] 28 away.

[01:02:44] Wow.

[01:02:46] Just.

[01:02:46] Might be one day.

[01:02:48] Might be one day.

[01:02:49] He gets eventually.

[01:02:51] Yeah.

[01:02:51] I mean he certainly can do it.

[01:02:53] He is talented.

[01:02:57] Also though.

[01:02:58] That is also.

[01:02:59] I always.

[01:03:00] Uh.

[01:03:02] The.

[01:03:02] Told us that the NHL.

[01:03:03] You know.

[01:03:03] Does points.

[01:03:04] You get a point for.

[01:03:06] A goal.

[01:03:07] And a point for assists.

[01:03:08] And I always like to.

[01:03:09] When people talk about.

[01:03:12] The most.

[01:03:14] Unbreakable records.

[01:03:16] In sports.

[01:03:17] Uh.

[01:03:17] Kyle Ripken's all time streak.

[01:03:19] In baseball.

[01:03:20] As a lot comes up.

[01:03:20] Joe DiMaggio's hitting streak.

[01:03:22] Yeah.

[01:03:23] I love to bring up.

[01:03:25] Wayne Gretzky's point streak.

[01:03:26] Wayne Gretzky finished his career.

[01:03:27] With 2857 points.

[01:03:30] Second place is.

[01:03:31] Yarmir Yager.

[01:03:33] 1921 points.

[01:03:34] That is almost a thousand point difference.

[01:03:36] Oh.

[01:03:36] Wow.

[01:03:37] Even.

[01:03:38] More amazing stat.

[01:03:39] Wayne Gretzky.

[01:03:41] Uh.

[01:03:41] 1,963 assists.

[01:03:44] So that means that he has more assists.

[01:03:46] Than Yarmir Yager had total points.

[01:03:49] Cool.

[01:03:49] And Yarmir Yager is second all time.

[01:03:51] It is absolutely insane.

[01:03:52] Just ridiculous.

[01:03:53] Just to show you again.

[01:03:55] Just to tell people how good exactly.

[01:03:57] Wayne Gretzky was.

[01:03:58] Wayne Gretzky was.

[01:03:59] He was that dude.

[01:04:01] Um.

[01:04:01] He was that.

[01:04:02] Yeah.

[01:04:03] I mean as a kid.

[01:04:04] You know honestly.

[01:04:05] That's the only reason I knew about hockey for a long time.

[01:04:08] Mm-hmm.

[01:04:08] Because you know.

[01:04:09] You hear about Wayne Gretzky.

[01:04:10] So you want to find out.

[01:04:11] Who is it?

[01:04:12] You know.

[01:04:13] You want to.

[01:04:14] Yeah.

[01:04:14] Yeah.

[01:04:14] Yeah.

[01:04:14] You know.

[01:04:15] It was hard to watch hockey.

[01:04:16] Especially back in the 90s.

[01:04:18] But uh.

[01:04:19] You know.

[01:04:19] Just with.

[01:04:20] Where was that?

[01:04:21] Um.

[01:04:22] But.

[01:04:23] Yeah.

[01:04:23] That's um.

[01:04:24] Yeah.

[01:04:25] I mean he was a.

[01:04:26] I mean just a.

[01:04:27] I mean clearly the MJ and beyond of uh.

[01:04:31] Of hockey.

[01:04:32] Just absolutely astounding.

[01:04:34] But.

[01:04:34] Pretty good.

[01:04:35] You know.

[01:04:36] Current generation.

[01:04:37] Uh.

[01:04:37] They're getting.

[01:04:38] Oh yeah.

[01:04:38] Into their careers.

[01:04:39] But Alex Ovechkin.

[01:04:40] You know.

[01:04:40] Approaching that goal total.

[01:04:41] And then Sidney Crosby.

[01:04:42] Who came in the league.

[01:04:43] I want to say.

[01:04:44] Maybe.

[01:04:45] The same season.

[01:04:46] He's played a couple hundred less games due to injuries.

[01:04:48] But he.

[01:04:49] Yeah.

[01:04:49] But.

[01:04:50] Yeah.

[01:04:50] We're right.

[01:04:51] Because for a while.

[01:04:51] That was going to be the big.

[01:04:52] The biggest rivalry.

[01:04:54] And they.

[01:04:55] They had it out for a few years.

[01:04:56] Uh.

[01:04:56] Both got their Stanley Cups.

[01:04:58] And Sidney Crosby.

[01:05:00] Is of course top ten all time.

[01:05:01] In points as well.

[01:05:02] So he's.

[01:05:03] Right.

[01:05:03] Slowly making his way up that list.

[01:05:05] But he's had so much time injured.

[01:05:07] But we'll kind of both have.

[01:05:10] Yeah.

[01:05:11] Um.

[01:05:12] It's just.

[01:05:13] It's crazy.

[01:05:13] And I got this.

[01:05:14] Records pulled up now.

[01:05:15] And it.

[01:05:16] The one that always stands out to me.

[01:05:18] And I was actually a big.

[01:05:18] Penguins fan growing up.

[01:05:20] The person that got me into hockey.

[01:05:21] Is from the area.

[01:05:22] But Mario Lemieux.

[01:05:23] I always like to point out.

[01:05:25] Yeah.

[01:05:25] Maybe one of the biggest.

[01:05:27] Uh.

[01:05:28] Man.

[01:05:28] If he could have stayed healthy.

[01:05:29] Guys.

[01:05:30] You know.

[01:05:30] He obviously.

[01:05:30] You know.

[01:05:31] Oh yeah.

[01:05:32] Hodgkin's disease.

[01:05:33] During his career.

[01:05:33] A couple injuries.

[01:05:34] But you know.

[01:05:34] Missed.

[01:05:35] Years.

[01:05:35] Due to cancer.

[01:05:36] Took away years from his.

[01:05:38] Wow.

[01:05:38] He is eighth all time in points.

[01:05:40] And where you look at.

[01:05:41] What's crazy about that.

[01:05:43] Is he only played 915 career games.

[01:05:45] And everyone around him.

[01:05:46] Played 1,500.

[01:05:47] 1,700.

[01:05:48] Wow.

[01:05:49] It shows you how good.

[01:05:51] It's just ridiculous.

[01:05:51] How good he was.

[01:05:52] Yeah.

[01:05:53] Yeah.

[01:05:53] It shows you how good he was.

[01:05:55] Yeah.

[01:05:55] If he could have played a full career.

[01:05:56] He'd have been up there with Gretzky.

[01:05:59] Yeah.

[01:05:59] I remember when he got sick.

[01:06:00] And you're like.

[01:06:01] Man.

[01:06:01] He just hated it.

[01:06:02] You know.

[01:06:02] He's like.

[01:06:03] That's crazy.

[01:06:04] Yeah.

[01:06:05] I remember.

[01:06:05] I remember watching the comeback game live too.

[01:06:07] He scored a goal in his first game back.

[01:06:09] Oh yeah.

[01:06:09] One of those poetic.

[01:06:10] Oh.

[01:06:10] And a missed field goal here.

[01:06:12] Missed field goal.

[01:06:13] Yeah.

[01:06:14] Oh.

[01:06:14] This game is going to be a tight finish here in Los Angeles.

[01:06:19] Just like last week.

[01:06:23] But yeah.

[01:06:24] All right.

[01:06:25] That should do it for us folks.

[01:06:27] So Greg.

[01:06:28] What has been done up real good for you?

[01:06:32] You know.

[01:06:33] Just.

[01:06:33] I guess.

[01:06:34] Just to get through this week.

[01:06:35] A lot of people have been sick in the house.

[01:06:37] They've been taking care of folks.

[01:06:40] So.

[01:06:40] But hey.

[01:06:41] We made it through the week.

[01:06:42] On to another one.

[01:06:43] So.

[01:06:43] Been.

[01:06:44] Been busy.

[01:06:45] Tiresome.

[01:06:45] But.

[01:06:46] You know.

[01:06:46] Some weeks are like that.

[01:06:48] But.

[01:06:48] How'd you make it out?

[01:06:49] My life.

[01:06:50] And everybody's getting healthier.

[01:06:51] That's all that you can ask more.

[01:06:52] How about you?

[01:06:54] Let's see.

[01:06:55] I'll say.

[01:06:55] The wife and I went to Atlanta last night.

[01:06:57] For a concert.

[01:06:59] And then.

[01:07:00] I'll say.

[01:07:00] The kindness of strangers.

[01:07:02] Is what's done it real good.

[01:07:03] We were having trouble with a ticket master.

[01:07:05] Of course.

[01:07:06] You know.

[01:07:06] Who.

[01:07:07] They didn't send the wife.

[01:07:09] A QR code.

[01:07:10] They were supposed to.

[01:07:11] So we were trying to.

[01:07:12] Call them.

[01:07:13] And we're on hold.

[01:07:14] And this guy.

[01:07:15] Kind of walked up.

[01:07:16] And was like.

[01:07:16] Are you looking for tickets?

[01:07:18] And we're like.

[01:07:18] Actually yeah.

[01:07:19] And he had a couple.

[01:07:21] Of his friends.

[01:07:21] That had to cancel last minute.

[01:07:23] So.

[01:07:24] We went in.

[01:07:25] And he's like.

[01:07:25] Oh yeah.

[01:07:25] We'll work out payment afterwards.

[01:07:27] And then.

[01:07:27] I bought him a couple drinks.

[01:07:28] And then after.

[01:07:28] He just said.

[01:07:29] No.

[01:07:29] You're good.

[01:07:30] And you know.

[01:07:30] He left.

[01:07:31] Toward the end of the show.

[01:07:32] He had to leave.

[01:07:34] And meet some friends.

[01:07:35] But so.

[01:07:35] That's amazing.

[01:07:36] Yeah.
