How relaxing it is to watch chaos unfold while your team relaxes and takes a weekend off. This week we talk about yet another Ohio State win over Penn State, and what it means for James Franklin and the Nittany Lions. We also cover a Saturday full of upsets, including South Carolina over Texas A&M, and Texas Tech over Iowa State, Louisville over Clemson. There's also Diego Pavia's continued dominance of Hugh Freeze, which leads us to discuss why Auburn thinks Freeze deserves more chances than Bryan Harsin; Carson Beck's interception problem and how it might affect Georgia going forward; and, of course, the wild and wonderful world of Big 12 football.

Additionally, we touch on a fun NFL Sunday, the World Series, the early NBA season, and look forward to the most hyped season in Alabama basketball history.

[00:00:00] I love it, I 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] I am pretty good, how you doing nice sir?

[00:00:14] I'm pretty good myself man, uh, bye weekends are nice

[00:00:18] Uh, yeah, they are

[00:00:21] It's stress free, you get to watch everybody else get stressed out

[00:00:25] Right, enjoy the chaos

[00:00:26] Enjoy the chaos, yeah, for sure

[00:00:32] Pretty good week of sports I guess, pretty good weekend

[00:00:36] Weather's starting to get cool again here

[00:00:38] We had that, you know, that one more dip in Alabama where you get warm again

[00:00:43] Like even on Halloween night we walked around a little bit and it was sweaty

[00:00:49] That was fun

[00:00:51] But uh, yeah, let's get to it

[00:00:53] Like we mentioned, no Alabama this week

[00:00:56] So a nice relaxing weekend for Tide fans anyway

[00:01:00] Yeah

[00:01:01] Got to watch other teams falter

[00:01:03] A couple of them are probably beneficial to Alabama as far as playoff race goes

[00:01:07] For sure, definitely

[00:01:09] But let's start with the big one of course

[00:01:11] Ohio State, Penn State

[00:01:12] Uh, uh, we've already talked about our

[00:01:16] How dumb it is that Big Noon Saturday is

[00:01:18] Uh, last week so

[00:01:20] We'll skip over that part

[00:01:21] But uh, the story, once again

[00:01:24] Uh, James Franklin

[00:01:26] Cannot beat Ohio State

[00:01:29] Eight straight loss to the Buckeyes

[00:01:31] And it was there for them

[00:01:33] Uh, you know, up early with the pick six

[00:01:36] And two first and goals from inside the five

[00:01:40] And score touchdowns on either one

[00:01:43] Uh, Ohio State goes in the happy valley

[00:01:47] Wins again

[00:01:47] Um, uh, so my question to you is

[00:01:52] Does

[00:01:53] Is James Franklin in any sort of trouble?

[00:01:56] Or do you think because the 12-team playoff

[00:01:58] And Penn State probably won't lose again

[00:02:00] And he

[00:02:00] They get in

[00:02:01] Is he just fine?

[00:02:02] Is Penn State just fine with this?

[00:02:04] Or do they get to a point where

[00:02:05] They're like, man, you got to beat Ohio State, man

[00:02:10] Man, you know, that's a

[00:02:11] That's a tough question

[00:02:12] Just because

[00:02:14] I mean, that's a dangerous

[00:02:15] That's a dangerous game you play

[00:02:17] Because

[00:02:18] I mean

[00:02:19] 10-2

[00:02:20] 11-1

[00:02:21] I mean, you got to appreciate that

[00:02:24] It's not

[00:02:24] I understand it's frustrating

[00:02:26] But

[00:02:26] Unless you have the perfect guy to come in

[00:02:29] To take

[00:02:29] You know, take you to the next step

[00:02:33] It's a

[00:02:33] It's a

[00:02:34] It's a high

[00:02:34] A big risk to move on from James Franklin

[00:02:37] Um

[00:02:37] It's true

[00:02:38] We saw that with Nebraska and Frank Solange

[00:02:41] Yeah

[00:02:41] Right

[00:02:43] Um

[00:02:44] But, you know

[00:02:46] I guess the

[00:02:48] The big

[00:02:48] I guess the closest comparison

[00:02:50] Kind of

[00:02:51] If you think about it

[00:02:52] Is kind of Mark Rickett, Georgia

[00:02:55] And he was always

[00:02:57] A hell of a ghost

[00:02:58] You know

[00:02:59] A lot of wins

[00:03:00] A lot of wins

[00:03:01] But never the big games

[00:03:02] You know

[00:03:03] He had some big games

[00:03:04] But, you know, overall

[00:03:05] You know, he would

[00:03:06] You know, lose to Alabama

[00:03:07] He'd lose to Florida

[00:03:09] Um

[00:03:10] You know

[00:03:11] You know

[00:03:12] 10-2

[00:03:12] 11-1 sometimes

[00:03:14] You know

[00:03:15] But never

[00:03:16] Never a national champion

[00:03:18] You know

[00:03:19] Now that

[00:03:19] And then

[00:03:21] Of course, you know

[00:03:22] But they

[00:03:23] Didn't move on

[00:03:24] Until they had the right guy

[00:03:25] And that was Kirby

[00:03:26] Now that's a once in a lifetime

[00:03:28] Type of hire

[00:03:30] So, you know

[00:03:31] Dan Franklin

[00:03:31] I mean

[00:03:32] Overall

[00:03:33] Hell of a coach

[00:03:34] I mean

[00:03:34] But you look at it too

[00:03:36] I mean

[00:03:36] You know

[00:03:37] He loses to Ohio State

[00:03:38] A lot of people lose to Ohio State

[00:03:40] So, I mean

[00:03:41] You have to put it in perspective

[00:03:42] I mean

[00:03:43] It's kind of like

[00:03:43] He's losing to Bums

[00:03:44] He's literally losing

[00:03:46] You know

[00:03:46] He lost to Michigan

[00:03:48] When Michigan was

[00:03:50] A top five team

[00:03:51] You know

[00:03:51] Losing to Ohio State

[00:03:52] When they're

[00:03:53] An elite team

[00:03:54] I mean

[00:03:55] It's frustrating

[00:03:56] But

[00:03:56] And if you make that move

[00:03:58] You got to make sure

[00:03:59] It's the right move

[00:04:00] Because

[00:04:01] It's not

[00:04:02] Not everybody's going to

[00:04:03] Come in there

[00:04:04] And be able to cut

[00:04:05] You know

[00:04:05] 10-2

[00:04:06] 11-1

[00:04:07] Every season

[00:04:08] So

[00:04:08] Be very careful

[00:04:10] With what you want

[00:04:10] I understand

[00:04:11] It's frustrating

[00:04:12] But yeah

[00:04:12] I think the 12-team

[00:04:13] Playoff definitely

[00:04:14] Helps them out

[00:04:16] Because I mean

[00:04:17] Even if you do lose

[00:04:18] To Ohio State

[00:04:18] I mean

[00:04:19] If you go 11-1

[00:04:20] In the Big Ten

[00:04:20] That's

[00:04:21] Craziness happens

[00:04:23] You're going to get

[00:04:23] In the playoff

[00:04:24] Every year

[00:04:24] So

[00:04:26] Yeah

[00:04:27] No doubt

[00:04:27] It probably ends

[00:04:29] There are any hopes

[00:04:30] They have of a

[00:04:31] Big Ten title

[00:04:32] Barring some chaos

[00:04:33] In front of them

[00:04:34] I would think so

[00:04:34] Because you have

[00:04:35] Undefeated Indiana

[00:04:36] And Oregon

[00:04:36] And then

[00:04:37] One loss

[00:04:38] Ohio State

[00:04:39] Which owns the

[00:04:39] Tiebreaker

[00:04:40] Yeah

[00:04:41] So you need them

[00:04:42] To lose

[00:04:42] And then

[00:04:43] Some help

[00:04:44] Twice

[00:04:45] Yeah

[00:04:46] So

[00:04:46] Well

[00:04:47] But you know

[00:04:47] They have Washington

[00:04:48] At Purdue

[00:04:49] At Minnesota

[00:04:50] And then Maryland

[00:04:51] And those are all

[00:04:52] Very winnable games

[00:04:53] For Penn State

[00:04:53] So

[00:04:54] I think the main thing

[00:04:55] Is he can't

[00:04:56] Of course

[00:04:56] Can't lose another one

[00:04:57] No

[00:05:00] And I would just

[00:05:01] Have to say too

[00:05:02] You know

[00:05:03] Then at that point

[00:05:05] Just like

[00:05:06] Once you get

[00:05:07] To the playoffs

[00:05:09] I

[00:05:10] You know

[00:05:10] I don't know

[00:05:11] How you look

[00:05:12] At it in year one

[00:05:12] But eventually

[00:05:13] You know

[00:05:13] They make the playoff

[00:05:14] Every year

[00:05:14] I guess eventually

[00:05:16] You might move on

[00:05:17] If every year

[00:05:18] You lose in the first round

[00:05:19] You don't get past

[00:05:21] You don't get past

[00:05:21] That first round

[00:05:22] You might

[00:05:23] You know

[00:05:24] Get tired of that

[00:05:25] Every year

[00:05:25] But I

[00:05:26] You know

[00:05:26] I think that's a little bit

[00:05:27] Down the road

[00:05:29] Considering this is the first time

[00:05:30] You know

[00:05:31] We have the playoff

[00:05:32] And everybody's just

[00:05:33] Kind of seeing how it's

[00:05:34] Going to go

[00:05:34] To begin with

[00:05:35] So

[00:05:36] Yeah

[00:05:37] I wonder

[00:05:37] Is something

[00:05:38] Interesting to watch too

[00:05:39] Is if

[00:05:40] Is it just like

[00:05:41] An Ohio State thing

[00:05:42] Like do they get in the playoffs

[00:05:43] And play other teams

[00:05:44] And then beat them

[00:05:45] Yeah

[00:05:46] Or you know

[00:05:47] Is it

[00:05:48] An elite team problem

[00:05:50] You know

[00:05:50] Is there something there

[00:05:51] But yeah

[00:05:54] It's something

[00:05:55] Interesting to watch

[00:05:56] Maybe it is

[00:05:57] How the rest of their season goes

[00:05:58] Yeah

[00:05:59] Alright

[00:06:00] Now I will say

[00:06:01] He had some issues

[00:06:02] I mean

[00:06:02] He was getting into it

[00:06:03] With fans after the game

[00:06:05] There were videos of him

[00:06:07] Like get into it

[00:06:08] With the fans

[00:06:08] Ask

[00:06:09] What's your name bro

[00:06:10] If you're going to talk trash

[00:06:12] At least tell me

[00:06:13] What your name is

[00:06:14] It's like

[00:06:14] Come on man

[00:06:15] Get ahead

[00:06:15] Head coach at Penn State

[00:06:16] Like you can't

[00:06:17] Can't be doing that

[00:06:18] You can't be doing that

[00:06:19] Like

[00:06:19] You can't

[00:06:21] Get into it

[00:06:22] With the fans

[00:06:22] I mean

[00:06:23] You

[00:06:24] I mean

[00:06:24] You have to understand

[00:06:25] Where they're coming from

[00:06:26] And that's

[00:06:27] You know

[00:06:28] That's why they're fans

[00:06:29] Fans

[00:06:30] Fanatics

[00:06:31] So

[00:06:31] I mean

[00:06:32] You're going to have

[00:06:32] The type of people

[00:06:33] Like that

[00:06:34] As a head coach

[00:06:35] At one of the biggest

[00:06:36] Universities

[00:06:37] You can't

[00:06:38] You have to

[00:06:39] Stay away from that

[00:06:40] You can't get involved

[00:06:41] In that

[00:06:42] Cause that

[00:06:43] Absolutely

[00:06:44] That'll hurt you even more

[00:06:46] Yeah

[00:06:46] I mean

[00:06:47] There's

[00:06:48] The one thing

[00:06:49] That always sticks out to me

[00:06:50] Is he needs to find somebody

[00:06:52] Who knows how to call

[00:06:53] A good fourth

[00:06:54] And short play

[00:06:55] Yes

[00:06:55] Cause every time

[00:06:57] And this is going back

[00:06:58] Years and years

[00:06:59] Man

[00:06:59] Anytime they have a critical

[00:07:01] Big game moment

[00:07:02] Like this

[00:07:02] And it's usually

[00:07:03] Against Ohio State

[00:07:04] Then they get a fourth

[00:07:06] And short

[00:07:06] And I'm not

[00:07:07] Questioning his decision

[00:07:08] To go for it

[00:07:09] I agree

[00:07:09] Go for it

[00:07:10] You know

[00:07:10] You have fourth

[00:07:10] And goal from the one

[00:07:12] Go for it

[00:07:13] Get that touchdown

[00:07:13] But they never seem

[00:07:15] To have the right

[00:07:16] Play dialed up

[00:07:17] It's not even

[00:07:17] Like oh well

[00:07:18] You know

[00:07:19] The defense

[00:07:19] Just made the better play

[00:07:20] It's just like

[00:07:21] That was not

[00:07:22] A good play

[00:07:22] It's a horrible play

[00:07:23] No

[00:07:25] Yeah

[00:07:27] It's kind of the same

[00:07:28] Story every year

[00:07:30] Even with the new

[00:07:31] Offensive coordinator

[00:07:31] You know

[00:07:32] That was a thing

[00:07:32] You know

[00:07:33] They brought in

[00:07:34] The guy from Kansas

[00:07:36] The Kovanecki

[00:07:37] Or whatever his name is

[00:07:38] And you know

[00:07:39] Seems to have been

[00:07:40] Working up

[00:07:40] Yeah

[00:07:41] But something about

[00:07:42] Ohio State

[00:07:43] And you know

[00:07:44] In the past

[00:07:45] It's been Michigan

[00:07:46] As well

[00:07:46] They just fall flat

[00:07:48] At the worst

[00:07:48] Worst possible time

[00:07:50] And you know

[00:07:51] They have plenty of time

[00:07:52] I guess that's the other thing

[00:07:53] Like you said

[00:07:54] They have plenty of times

[00:07:55] You know even at the end

[00:07:56] Of the game

[00:07:56] I mean they have four plays

[00:07:57] Within the five yard line

[00:08:01] After that big catch

[00:08:04] Yeah

[00:08:04] It's crazy

[00:08:06] And then they get down there

[00:08:07] And they're not going

[00:08:08] To that tight end

[00:08:09] His name is

[00:08:10] Escaping me right now

[00:08:11] But he's the one

[00:08:12] That got him down there

[00:08:13] And then all of a sudden

[00:08:14] You don't go at him

[00:08:16] And where you need it most

[00:08:18] Yeah

[00:08:19] He just can't seem to

[00:08:21] Find that right guy

[00:08:23] Yeah

[00:08:23] I don't know

[00:08:24] But like you said

[00:08:25] You make great points

[00:08:26] There

[00:08:26] Like

[00:08:27] The grass ain't always greener

[00:08:29] So if

[00:08:30] You are the Penn State AD

[00:08:32] Or whatever

[00:08:32] And you

[00:08:33] You know

[00:08:34] Make that move

[00:08:35] You have to be sure

[00:08:36] Yeah

[00:08:37] You have to be sure

[00:08:39] But like we said

[00:08:40] Also

[00:08:40] You know

[00:08:40] Who knows

[00:08:41] Maybe they do get in the playoff

[00:08:42] And maybe it's in the

[00:08:43] Ohio State thing

[00:08:44] Maybe they win a couple games

[00:08:45] And it's like

[00:08:45] Okay

[00:08:45] Yeah

[00:08:46] Or maybe

[00:08:47] You know

[00:08:48] They finally get

[00:08:49] That guy in their quarterback

[00:08:50] Maybe it's just their

[00:08:51] Maybe he's just been lacking

[00:08:53] That one star player

[00:08:55] Or something

[00:08:55] Yeah

[00:08:56] Because that is a

[00:08:57] That is one thing

[00:08:58] Like I mean

[00:08:59] They don't ever really

[00:09:00] Seem to have a true

[00:09:02] I mean they do every now and again

[00:09:04] You know

[00:09:04] They've had what

[00:09:05] Saquon Barkley

[00:09:07] But

[00:09:08] Yeah

[00:09:10] There's not

[00:09:10] I mean

[00:09:11] You know

[00:09:11] Drew Owler

[00:09:12] Seems to be a decent quarterback

[00:09:13] But yeah

[00:09:14] I mean

[00:09:14] They don't ever have like

[00:09:15] A top

[00:09:17] Five

[00:09:17] You know

[00:09:18] Just a star

[00:09:20] Yeah

[00:09:21] There's never

[00:09:22] Seem to be a

[00:09:22] Definite star

[00:09:24] Wide receiver

[00:09:24] Or a great running back

[00:09:26] They've had him in the past

[00:09:28] But yeah

[00:09:28] Right now

[00:09:29] They just don't have that guy

[00:09:31] Right now

[00:09:31] The tight end is that guy

[00:09:33] But yeah

[00:09:34] They didn't use him

[00:09:35] In the most key

[00:09:36] Which is weird

[00:09:39] But then at the same time

[00:09:40] When you're also down

[00:09:40] At the goal line

[00:09:42] Why aren't you able

[00:09:43] To run at all

[00:09:44] Like where's that at

[00:09:45] Like

[00:09:46] Yeah

[00:09:46] Should be able to

[00:09:47] Get a couple yards

[00:09:48] Especially Big Ten football

[00:09:50] Right

[00:09:50] You gotta blow up

[00:09:51] You would think so

[00:09:52] Yeah

[00:09:52] I mean

[00:09:54] And the other thing too

[00:09:56] Is

[00:09:57] You know

[00:10:00] Ohio State is decent

[00:10:01] But they've been

[00:10:02] Struggling themselves

[00:10:03] And this might have been

[00:10:04] Near to catch them

[00:10:06] Exactly

[00:10:06] And I thought

[00:10:07] I did

[00:10:08] I think I picked them

[00:10:08] In both our

[00:10:09] Pick'em groups

[00:10:10] You know

[00:10:11] Online

[00:10:12] And I thought

[00:10:12] That this was it

[00:10:13] I was like

[00:10:13] You know what

[00:10:14] This just feels

[00:10:15] Like the time

[00:10:16] That they catch them

[00:10:17] And

[00:10:18] It was there for them

[00:10:19] They just couldn't

[00:10:20] And they went up

[00:10:21] 10-0

[00:10:21] I was like

[00:10:22] Well here we go

[00:10:23] Especially with the

[00:10:24] Pick six

[00:10:25] Because that's the type

[00:10:26] Of touchdown

[00:10:26] That really energizes

[00:10:27] Your crowd

[00:10:28] Yeah

[00:10:29] The crowd was going

[00:10:30] I was like

[00:10:30] Wow

[00:10:30] This might be the time

[00:10:31] And

[00:10:32] Lo and behold

[00:10:33] You know

[00:10:33] Right back

[00:10:34] Yeah

[00:10:35] And all credit to

[00:10:36] You know

[00:10:37] We talked this

[00:10:37] Penn State

[00:10:39] Yeah

[00:10:39] All credit to Ryan Day

[00:10:40] And Ohio State

[00:10:40] For going to back

[00:10:41] Will Howard played a great game

[00:10:43] He did

[00:10:46] Yeah

[00:10:46] They just continue

[00:10:48] To be

[00:10:49] I think they were my

[00:10:52] Preseason

[00:10:52] Champions

[00:10:53] Pick

[00:10:53] Yeah

[00:10:54] They were

[00:10:54] Yeah

[00:10:54] Yeah

[00:10:55] I have to go back

[00:10:56] I thought I saved that

[00:10:58] In a

[00:10:59] File somewhere

[00:11:00] All of our predictions

[00:11:01] Because I was going to

[00:11:01] Maybe give like a

[00:11:02] Mid-season check in

[00:11:03] But I didn't

[00:11:04] So I'm going to have to

[00:11:04] Go back and listen

[00:11:05] To that episode

[00:11:05] Yeah

[00:11:06] I think

[00:11:06] Yeah

[00:11:06] I think

[00:11:07] You had

[00:11:08] Ohio

[00:11:08] If I remember right

[00:11:09] You had Ohio State

[00:11:10] I had Georgia

[00:11:11] For the

[00:11:11] As champion

[00:11:13] Yeah

[00:11:13] But

[00:11:14] But overall

[00:11:16] I mean

[00:11:16] But really

[00:11:17] The entire game

[00:11:19] Was kind of

[00:11:20] For as big a game

[00:11:22] Until the very end

[00:11:23] It was kind of a

[00:11:24] Blah kind of game

[00:11:25] I mean

[00:11:25] It was just

[00:11:27] It was a

[00:11:28] Slugfest

[00:11:29] Yeah

[00:11:29] It was not

[00:11:30] Not necessarily

[00:11:30] A rock fight

[00:11:31] But it was

[00:11:32] It was kind of sloppy

[00:11:34] I don't

[00:11:35] You know

[00:11:36] And then

[00:11:39] Penn State

[00:11:40] Had that crucial

[00:11:41] Interception

[00:11:41] At the end

[00:11:42] Of the first half

[00:11:42] When they got down

[00:11:43] To the

[00:11:44] To the

[00:11:45] One

[00:11:46] Basically

[00:11:46] And he

[00:11:47] It looked like

[00:11:48] A perfect pass

[00:11:49] He threw it

[00:11:49] Into the

[00:11:51] Ohio State

[00:11:52] The Ohio State

[00:11:53] Guy didn't even

[00:11:54] Know he had

[00:11:54] The interception

[00:11:55] It was like

[00:11:56] It just

[00:11:56] Bounced to him

[00:11:57] And he held

[00:11:57] On to the ball

[00:11:58] That was

[00:11:58] And that was

[00:11:59] A big turning point

[00:12:00] And that was

[00:12:01] At the end

[00:12:01] Of the first half

[00:12:02] And then

[00:12:03] Man

[00:12:03] Yeah

[00:12:04] They could have

[00:12:04] Gone into

[00:12:05] The break up

[00:12:05] You know

[00:12:06] That would

[00:12:07] It was just

[00:12:08] One of those games

[00:12:09] You know

[00:12:09] And that's

[00:12:09] Kind of the story

[00:12:10] They don't get

[00:12:11] The breaks

[00:12:12] They don't

[00:12:12] Make the

[00:12:13] The big plays

[00:12:15] No one steps up

[00:12:16] You know

[00:12:17] And that's

[00:12:17] Same old story

[00:12:18] Yeah

[00:12:20] Well let's move on

[00:12:21] Real quick

[00:12:22] Just staying in

[00:12:23] The Big Ten

[00:12:23] Oregon

[00:12:24] Just beat the

[00:12:25] Hell out of

[00:12:25] Michigan

[00:12:26] They just

[00:12:27] Continue to

[00:12:28] Roll along

[00:12:28] In their

[00:12:29] First season

[00:12:29] In the Big Ten

[00:12:31] They're looking

[00:12:31] Good

[00:12:33] Indiana

[00:12:35] Michigan State

[00:12:36] And then

[00:12:36] Said

[00:12:37] Well that's

[00:12:37] About enough

[00:12:38] Of this shit

[00:12:38] Yeah

[00:12:39] That's crazy

[00:12:40] That was the

[00:12:40] First time

[00:12:41] They've been

[00:12:41] Down all season

[00:12:44] And it did not

[00:12:45] Last long

[00:12:45] They pissed them off

[00:12:46] It did

[00:12:47] Yeah

[00:12:47] And they beat

[00:12:48] The hell out of

[00:12:48] Michigan State

[00:12:49] After that

[00:12:50] Like

[00:12:51] Yeah

[00:12:52] It was

[00:12:52] Oof

[00:12:52] And then

[00:12:53] Minnesota

[00:12:54] Upset Illinois

[00:12:55] Yeah

[00:12:56] Toward the

[00:12:57] Back end

[00:12:58] Of the

[00:12:58] Standards

[00:12:58] There

[00:12:58] But yeah

[00:12:59] Indiana

[00:13:01] And

[00:13:03] Listen

[00:13:04] You know

[00:13:04] This Indiana

[00:13:05] Team

[00:13:05] I mean

[00:13:06] A couple

[00:13:07] Weeks

[00:13:07] When they

[00:13:08] Played Ohio

[00:13:08] State

[00:13:08] That's not

[00:13:09] A game

[00:13:09] For the

[00:13:11] Buckeyes

[00:13:11] At all

[00:13:12] Not at all

[00:13:13] No

[00:13:14] Does that

[00:13:14] Matter Columbus

[00:13:15] Or not

[00:13:16] Like

[00:13:17] You know

[00:13:17] They better

[00:13:18] Be ready

[00:13:18] To play

[00:13:20] Because

[00:13:20] Indiana

[00:13:21] Is

[00:13:21] Going to

[00:13:22] Come in

[00:13:23] Yeah

[00:13:24] Indiana

[00:13:24] Has come

[00:13:25] To play

[00:13:25] So you

[00:13:26] Better

[00:13:26] Buckle up

[00:13:27] That chin

[00:13:27] Strap

[00:13:27] As they

[00:13:28] Say

[00:13:30] Elsewhere

[00:13:31] We'll move

[00:13:32] To the

[00:13:32] Night

[00:13:32] Games

[00:13:33] It was

[00:13:33] Kind of

[00:13:33] You know

[00:13:34] Not a

[00:13:35] Ho-hum

[00:13:35] Day

[00:13:35] To start

[00:13:36] But you

[00:13:37] Know

[00:13:37] Nothing

[00:13:38] We had

[00:13:39] That Miami

[00:13:39] And Duke

[00:13:40] Were back

[00:13:40] And forth

[00:13:40] For a little

[00:13:41] While

[00:13:41] And then

[00:13:41] Late

[00:13:43] Let's

[00:13:44] Stop

[00:13:44] Playing around

[00:13:44] With these

[00:13:45] Guys

[00:13:45] Exactly

[00:13:46] Miami

[00:13:46] Pulled

[00:13:47] Away

[00:13:47] Got a

[00:13:47] Little

[00:13:47] Backdoor

[00:13:48] Cover

[00:13:48] Which

[00:13:48] Made me

[00:13:49] Mad

[00:13:49] Because I

[00:13:50] Had Duke

[00:13:50] Plus

[00:13:50] 20

[00:13:51] And a half

[00:13:52] In the

[00:13:52] In our

[00:13:52] Picks

[00:13:53] Column

[00:13:55] Army

[00:13:56] They beat

[00:13:57] Air Force

[00:13:57] Without their

[00:13:58] Start QB

[00:13:59] So they're

[00:13:59] Still unbeaten

[00:14:02] 20 to 3

[00:14:03] I think

[00:14:03] Yeah

[00:14:04] 20 to 3

[00:14:05] Yeah

[00:14:05] It was just

[00:14:06] Kind of

[00:14:06] One of those

[00:14:06] Days

[00:14:07] And then

[00:14:07] Let's see

[00:14:08] What else

[00:14:08] Happened

[00:14:08] Georgia

[00:14:09] Beat Florida

[00:14:09] In a cocktail

[00:14:10] Party

[00:14:10] Dude

[00:14:11] Florida

[00:14:12] Game a game

[00:14:12] For

[00:14:12] Man

[00:14:14] About

[00:14:15] Three

[00:14:15] Yeah

[00:14:16] DJ

[00:14:16] Lagwee

[00:14:17] Hamstring

[00:14:17] Injury

[00:14:19] But they

[00:14:20] Were tied

[00:14:21] What in the

[00:14:21] Fourth quarter

[00:14:22] 20 to 3

[00:14:23] Before Georgia

[00:14:24] Put two up

[00:14:25] Late

[00:14:25] Horrible

[00:14:27] Horrible

[00:14:27] Interception

[00:14:28] Oh yeah

[00:14:29] But that

[00:14:30] Man

[00:14:31] I mean

[00:14:31] It's tough

[00:14:33] That he's

[00:14:33] Even out

[00:14:33] There

[00:14:34] Clearly

[00:14:34] He had

[00:14:35] No

[00:14:35] Intention

[00:14:36] For this

[00:14:36] Man

[00:14:37] To transfer

[00:14:37] From Yale

[00:14:39] Or Princeton

[00:14:39] Yeah

[00:14:42] Clearly

[00:14:43] Clearly

[00:14:43] I mean

[00:14:44] He

[00:14:45] It wasn't

[00:14:45] Meant to be

[00:14:46] That he

[00:14:46] Was supposed

[00:14:47] To be

[00:14:47] In the

[00:14:47] Game

[00:14:47] So that's

[00:14:48] Tough

[00:14:49] But I mean

[00:14:49] Overall

[00:14:50] I thought

[00:14:50] He did

[00:14:51] Decent

[00:14:51] Consider it

[00:14:52] I mean

[00:14:52] He had

[00:14:53] Never been

[00:14:53] In that

[00:14:53] Situation

[00:14:54] Before

[00:14:55] Your first

[00:14:56] Time

[00:14:56] Playing

[00:14:56] In Florida

[00:14:57] For real

[00:14:58] And

[00:14:58] It's the

[00:14:59] Biggest

[00:14:59] World's

[00:15:00] Largest cocktail

[00:15:00] Party

[00:15:01] Against

[00:15:01] One of

[00:15:02] The best

[00:15:02] Teams

[00:15:02] In America

[00:15:03] That's

[00:15:03] A tough

[00:15:04] Situation

[00:15:05] To go

[00:15:05] Into

[00:15:05] But

[00:15:06] Yeah

[00:15:07] It's a

[00:15:07] Tough ask

[00:15:07] You know

[00:15:08] They

[00:15:08] You know

[00:15:09] Florida

[00:15:10] They

[00:15:10] They

[00:15:11] Hung

[00:15:11] Though

[00:15:11] I mean

[00:15:12] They

[00:15:12] Played

[00:15:12] Tough

[00:15:13] Wonder

[00:15:14] If

[00:15:14] DJ

[00:15:15] Doesn't

[00:15:15] Get

[00:15:15] Hurt

[00:15:15] I

[00:15:16] I

[00:15:16] Don't

[00:15:17] Know

[00:15:17] If

[00:15:17] They

[00:15:17] Win

[00:15:17] The

[00:15:17] Game

[00:15:17] But

[00:15:18] You

[00:15:18] You

[00:15:19] You'll

[00:15:19] Wonder

[00:15:19] But

[00:15:20] It's

[00:15:21] Definitely

[00:15:21] Something

[00:15:21] Florida

[00:15:21] Fans

[00:15:22] I was

[00:15:22] Going

[00:15:22] To

[00:15:22] Wonder

[00:15:22] Because

[00:15:22] They

[00:15:23] Had

[00:15:23] To

[00:15:24] Go

[00:15:24] One

[00:15:24] Dimensional

[00:15:25] After

[00:15:25] He

[00:15:25] Went

[00:15:26] Down

[00:15:26] The

[00:15:26] Passing

[00:15:27] Game

[00:15:27] Just

[00:15:27] Really

[00:15:27] Wasn't

[00:15:28] There

[00:15:28] And

[00:15:28] And

[00:15:30] And

[00:15:30] Carson

[00:15:31] Beck

[00:15:31] Once

[00:15:32] Again

[00:15:32] Three

[00:15:32] More

[00:15:33] Picks

[00:15:33] He's

[00:15:34] Just

[00:15:38] He's

[00:15:38] Looking

[00:15:39] Like

[00:15:39] Someone

[00:15:40] Playing

[00:15:40] College

[00:15:41] Football

[00:15:41] On

[00:15:41] Xbox

[00:15:42] Man

[00:15:42] Three

[00:15:43] Picks

[00:15:44] But

[00:15:44] Still

[00:15:44] Winning

[00:15:44] Somehow

[00:15:45] Yeah

[00:15:47] Very

[00:15:47] Yeah

[00:15:48] As a

[00:15:49] Georgia

[00:15:49] Fan

[00:15:49] You

[00:15:49] Have

[00:15:50] To

[00:15:50] Be

[00:15:50] Someone

[00:15:50] Worried

[00:15:51] About

[00:15:51] That

[00:15:51] Because

[00:15:52] Eventually

[00:15:53] That

[00:15:53] Three

[00:15:53] Picks

[00:15:53] Is

[00:15:54] You're

[00:15:54] Not

[00:15:54] Going

[00:15:54] To

[00:15:54] In

[00:15:55] The

[00:15:55] Playoff

[00:15:56] That's

[00:15:56] Not

[00:15:56] Going

[00:15:57] To

[00:15:57] Get

[00:15:57] You

[00:15:57] A

[00:15:57] Win

[00:15:58] Yeah

[00:15:59] Exactly

[00:15:59] That's

[00:16:00] Against

[00:16:01] Oregon

[00:16:01] Or

[00:16:02] Ohio

[00:16:03] State

[00:16:03] Or

[00:16:03] You

[00:16:04] Know

[00:16:04] That's

[00:16:04] Not

[00:16:04] Going

[00:16:04] To

[00:16:05] Work

[00:16:05] Out

[00:16:06] For

[00:16:06] You

[00:16:07] We

[00:16:07] Saw

[00:16:07] It

[00:16:08] Against

[00:16:08] Alabama

[00:16:08] You

[00:16:09] Know

[00:16:09] You

[00:16:09] Know

[00:16:09] They

[00:16:09] Did

[00:16:10] Come

[00:16:10] Back

[00:16:10] Take

[00:16:10] The

[00:16:10] Lead

[00:16:11] That

[00:16:11] Three

[00:16:11] Those

[00:16:11] Three

[00:16:12] Picks

[00:16:12] In

[00:16:12] That

[00:16:12] Game

[00:16:12] That

[00:16:13] The

[00:16:13] They

[00:16:13] Got

[00:16:14] Down

[00:16:14] So

[00:16:14] Big

[00:16:14] Yeah

[00:16:16] So, yeah, that's something that they need to fix quick

[00:16:19] because they travel to Oxford next weekend.

[00:16:21] Yeah.

[00:16:22] And an Ole Miss team that just beat the hell out of Arkansas yesterday.

[00:16:27] So they are fired up, you know.

[00:16:30] And we ask the question a lot too, you know,

[00:16:32] will Lane get his big win?

[00:16:35] Is next week it?

[00:16:37] Yeah, because they still have Tennessee.

[00:16:40] They still have Ole Miss.

[00:16:43] Yeah, even against those guys,

[00:16:45] three or four picks against either one of those

[00:16:48] might be your time that you're not going to recover.

[00:16:52] Yeah, and that's, you know, in two completely different ways

[00:16:55] but just as dangerous.

[00:16:56] Against Ole Miss, you can't give that offense more possessions to score.

[00:16:59] No.

[00:17:00] And against Tennessee and how good that defense is

[00:17:02] and how much they run the ball, control the clock, yeah.

[00:17:05] Right.

[00:17:05] Carson Beck needs to get that under control this week.

[00:17:09] Oh, yeah, for sure.

[00:17:10] Because that's –

[00:17:13] You know, not that Georgia's really in danger of missing the playoffs,

[00:17:16] but what happens if they lose a couple games in a row?

[00:17:23] I'm certain.

[00:17:23] You get the –

[00:17:25] The crazy thing is right now,

[00:17:27] based upon where some teams know no one expects to be where they're at,

[00:17:31] two losses isn't guarantee you anything this year.

[00:17:35] Especially if, you know, say, you know, an Alabama wins out

[00:17:39] and Georgia loses one of those games.

[00:17:41] Because you –

[00:17:42] And all of a sudden, yeah.

[00:17:43] Tiebreaker.

[00:17:45] Yeah, Alabama's got the head-to-head, so.

[00:17:49] Yeah, it's certainly a problem

[00:17:52] and definitely an area of concern for Georgia fans.

[00:17:54] Yeah, for sure.

[00:17:56] But –

[00:17:57] And then, after that is when things got really fun.

[00:18:00] Oh, yeah.

[00:18:02] Yeah, they did.

[00:18:03] Texas A&M, we talked about it last week.

[00:18:05] South Carolina's a dangerous place.

[00:18:07] This is a hungry team.

[00:18:08] They came close against LSU, came close against Alabama.

[00:18:10] They're a good team.

[00:18:11] They're not a bad team at all.

[00:18:12] They're a good team, and they proved it last night.

[00:18:16] Wow.

[00:18:16] That pass rush was as intense as ever,

[00:18:19] and Lenore Sellers was just –

[00:18:20] He was light solid.

[00:18:22] Doing his Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson impression.

[00:18:24] No matter what A&M did, the guy's bouncing off him,

[00:18:29] and he's –

[00:18:30] And that's against a great defense.

[00:18:31] That's against a great defense.

[00:18:33] I mean, the Aggies have had one of the better defenses in America.

[00:18:37] Yeah.

[00:18:38] All season.

[00:18:40] Yeah, it was a –

[00:18:42] Yeah, there's that one particular one.

[00:18:44] I want to say it was like the second quarter or so.

[00:18:47] Texas A&M linebacker or something just got a clean rush

[00:18:50] straight at Sellers and hit him hard.

[00:18:52] And when he hit him, I was watching.

[00:18:55] I said, oh.

[00:18:55] And then he just bounced off of him, spun out,

[00:18:58] and then I think completed a pass for about 20, 30 yards.

[00:19:03] This game was tied at half, and then 30 –

[00:19:06] no, 24 to nothing second half for the Gamecocks.

[00:19:10] Opened it up.

[00:19:11] No.

[00:19:11] Rocket Sanders, 144 on the ground.

[00:19:17] Yeah.

[00:19:17] What, are you going to say something on it?

[00:19:18] Yeah, no, the only thing, you know, with Moss getting hurt yesterday,

[00:19:26] I don't know how much that affected A&M,

[00:19:28] but I think that kind of threw him off a little bit

[00:19:31] because, of course, that's a huge part of the offense.

[00:19:34] But, man, our credit to South Carolina.

[00:19:38] You know, they took advantage of everything,

[00:19:41] hopped out to that early lead when they got up 14-0 real quick.

[00:19:46] And I was like, whoa.

[00:19:48] And then they bounced back in that second quarter.

[00:19:50] I thought, man, that second half is going to be great.

[00:19:53] Didn't expect what we saw there.

[00:19:54] I mean, South Carolina just dominated their second half.

[00:19:58] It almost felt like that South Carolina-Tennessee game

[00:20:04] from a couple years ago, you know, back and forth, back and forth,

[00:20:07] and then, boom, South Carolina just took it to a different level.

[00:20:12] And, you know, every now and again you get that from South Carolina.

[00:20:15] And if they could ever find some consistency, my goodness.

[00:20:19] Oh, yeah.

[00:20:20] And, you know, Sellers, freshmen, redshirt freshmen.

[00:20:22] So it's there for them.

[00:20:27] And, you know, how good of a transfer portal pickup was Rocket Sanders for them?

[00:20:31] Oh, wow.

[00:20:33] Huge.

[00:20:34] Huge.

[00:20:36] But, man, but in South Carolina, you just have to wonder, man.

[00:20:40] And they just wonder, man, should it be LSU?

[00:20:46] Could it be Alabama?

[00:20:48] You know, really, they should only have one.

[00:20:50] South Carolina family, man, we should only have one loss on this season right now.

[00:20:55] Yeah.

[00:20:55] They should be in the thick of the SEC race.

[00:20:58] Right.

[00:20:59] But, you know, it's also, you know, you got to build that program consistency there.

[00:21:05] Yeah, that's the thing.

[00:21:06] And you got to hope that no one comes in to try to lure Shane Beamer away from you.

[00:21:11] Yeah.

[00:21:12] Because who knows?

[00:21:14] But, you know.

[00:21:15] Yeah, for a guy, you know, he's been kind of up and down.

[00:21:19] You know, people sound and wonder about him.

[00:21:21] You know, is he the right guy there?

[00:21:22] You know, he had the end of the 2022 season was really great.

[00:21:27] And then last year, but a lot of injuries last year kind of threw them off their path, I think.

[00:21:33] You know, they rebounded well this year.

[00:21:38] Now, man, they could definitely.

[00:21:45] Yeah, big win for them.

[00:21:46] Great for the program.

[00:21:48] And then as that was happening, we also got some more chaos.

[00:21:54] Texas Tech ended Iowa State's unbeaten season in a great game late.

[00:22:00] Crazy Iowa State took the lead late.

[00:22:03] And Texas Tech went right back down the field.

[00:22:05] Right down the field.

[00:22:06] In the rain, in the Ames.

[00:22:08] Like, man.

[00:22:10] Yeah.

[00:22:10] And this is a Texas Tech team that had lost two straight, including getting slaughtered at home two weeks ago.

[00:22:16] So Baylor whooped them in Lubbock.

[00:22:19] Yeah.

[00:22:20] And then they lost to TCU last week.

[00:22:23] So they come into this kind of beat up.

[00:22:26] And they were ready, though.

[00:22:27] I mean, they went blow for blow with Iowa State.

[00:22:31] You know, I think a lot of people, there was a lot of people that seemed like really high on Iowa State.

[00:22:37] I mean, of course, there's so right in the thick of things in the, and it's still in the Big 12 race.

[00:22:44] But, man, it definitely, that should just snow.

[00:22:46] Like we've been saying all year, man, the Big 12 is just so even.

[00:22:51] You just don't, any week, nothing shocks you really.

[00:22:54] No, yeah.

[00:22:55] It's crazy.

[00:22:56] And then as that was happening, Louisville went into Clemson and just really just kind of beat the hell out of Clemson.

[00:23:06] Pushed them around.

[00:23:07] They blocked, what, two kicks.

[00:23:10] Made Cape Club look no good.

[00:23:13] You know, he threw the ball 56 times.

[00:23:16] They just ran all over them, that Louisville running game.

[00:23:19] That whole game just shocked me because I was on the verge of saying, man, this Clemson team, I mean, they were looking great.

[00:23:29] I mean, since that Georgia game, they've been racking up points, blowing folks out.

[00:23:33] Now, the schedule hasn't been the toughest, but, you know.

[00:23:36] I was about to say, that's the thing, and that was the one caveat to them looking so good,

[00:23:42] is that all of those wins are against teams with losing records.

[00:23:46] Right.

[00:23:46] That it was.

[00:23:48] But this was not the game that I expected that to happen because, you know, Louisville, they've shown,

[00:23:55] I mean, they've been fun, but I didn't think they had just to go in on the road into a tough Death Valley.

[00:24:08] Yeah, if they were in Louisville, that's one of those places where they,

[00:24:11] that's usually where Louisville gets their upsets is in Louisville, their home games.

[00:24:15] You know, they're real tough.

[00:24:16] Right, but on the road.

[00:24:16] And they've been an up and down team this season.

[00:24:19] Yeah, I mean, they lost to SMU, lost to Notre Dame.

[00:24:22] I mean, they lost to Miami.

[00:24:24] I mean, they had some, I mean, they were in those games, but never did I think they were going to go,

[00:24:30] not only go into Clemson and win, but win convincingly, not even a question.

[00:24:35] Like, man, just took it to Clemson all game.

[00:24:39] Kept on thinking, man, Clemson's going to make a run.

[00:24:41] Not really.

[00:24:42] They just kept, and it's crazy because the crowd was booing.

[00:24:47] Boo.

[00:24:48] Like, they couldn't believe what was going on.

[00:24:52] Like, it was crazy.

[00:24:53] Yeah, and it makes you wonder.

[00:24:56] You know, we had thought, like you said, after that Georgia game, you know,

[00:24:59] everyone's talking like, oh, man, Clemson's, you know, it's just gone.

[00:25:03] And then they go on the big winning streak, and they're like, okay, now we're good.

[00:25:06] And then now I lost like this again, and you start again.

[00:25:10] I think those questions are going to creep back up.

[00:25:12] Like, man, has Dabo lost it?

[00:25:14] Are they no longer, you know, are they just second tier?

[00:25:19] You know, are they done being an elite program in college football?

[00:25:25] And again, you've got to wonder, is this because, is there something missing from them

[00:25:29] that he refuses to go after transfer kids, you know?

[00:25:32] Or is it just maybe people figured Dabo out?

[00:25:37] Or, you know, whatever it is.

[00:25:40] It's something Clemson fans are questioning, you know, why can't they get back to the top?

[00:25:48] Right, to the top.

[00:25:50] What it did, though.

[00:25:51] Oh, go ahead.

[00:25:52] No, go ahead.

[00:25:53] Yeah, but, yeah, I mean, something obviously missing, but kudos to, you know, Louisville.

[00:25:59] I mean, they just came in and ready to go, you know.

[00:26:03] You know, they've had some tough losses, you know, bounce back from that tough Miami loss.

[00:26:08] And, you know, they obviously mentally tough, though, because, you know, you have those tough losses like that.

[00:26:17] You don't know how you're going to bounce back.

[00:26:20] You know, at that point, you're kind of out of the, you know, you're out of the playoff race.

[00:26:24] You're out of the ACC race.

[00:26:26] So, what are you really playing for at that point?

[00:26:28] And to come in and dominate like that, kudos to that staff, getting those guys ready.

[00:26:33] And, you know, the players staying focused.

[00:26:35] Because it's hard after you're kind of out of things, you know?

[00:26:40] Yeah.

[00:26:42] Yeah.

[00:26:42] All hats off to Louisville there.

[00:26:44] Big win for them.

[00:26:45] Yeah, for sure.

[00:26:46] And, you know, now Clemson, you know, they, again, they start to have to ask these questions.

[00:26:52] And, you know, what that did was that opened the door as SMU, some big moves at the top of those ACC standings.

[00:27:01] Because SMU just beat the hell out of Pitt.

[00:27:03] Yeah, House Pitt.

[00:27:05] Absolutely House Pitt.

[00:27:07] Yep.

[00:27:08] And now the top of the ACC standings, both Miami and SMU unbeaten in league play.

[00:27:12] Miami and SMU.

[00:27:14] Crazy.

[00:27:15] Yeah, right?

[00:27:16] Who would have predicted it?

[00:27:20] Yeah.

[00:27:21] And I thought that was going to be a good game.

[00:27:24] You know, I didn't.

[00:27:25] I had SMU winning, but I didn't think that they were going to just house them from starting to finish.

[00:27:31] Yeah, just the way Pitt has been this year.

[00:27:33] It's like they're, like you said, yeah, I had the Mustangs winning too.

[00:27:37] But you're like, you know what?

[00:27:38] Pitt's going to, they're going to slop this up.

[00:27:40] They're going to make it tough.

[00:27:42] And nope.

[00:27:44] SMU just, that second quarter, man.

[00:27:46] They just put it on them.

[00:27:48] 24-point second quarter.

[00:27:49] And then, you know, they were up 34-3 at one point.

[00:27:54] And just Pitt never.

[00:27:55] And even though, Pitt even added two scores late to make it look somewhat decent, I guess.

[00:28:01] It's not even that.

[00:28:02] Yeah.

[00:28:02] No.

[00:28:03] Yeah.

[00:28:05] That was, yeah, that was a wild.

[00:28:07] Yeah.

[00:28:08] It was shocking just to see Pitt get dominated like that.

[00:28:11] And interestingly enough, in a couple weeks, we're still going to have a Pitt-Clemson game.

[00:28:16] So we'll find out.

[00:28:18] Someone gets eliminated out the ACC there.

[00:28:22] And I both still only have one loss in conference.

[00:28:25] So still very much a lot, depending on how everything else plays out.

[00:28:30] Well, yeah.

[00:28:31] And then just real quick to run through some other stuff.

[00:28:36] Big 12, of course, we mentioned their chaos.

[00:28:38] Another upset.

[00:28:39] Houston upset Kansas State.

[00:28:41] Wow.

[00:28:42] That was a shocker.

[00:28:43] A big shocker.

[00:28:44] A big shocker, yeah.

[00:28:45] Wasn't they down like 19-0 or something at one point?

[00:28:48] It was, they were down.

[00:28:50] I did three years.

[00:28:51] I have it here.

[00:28:53] They were down at least, maybe 16-0, was it, I think?

[00:28:59] I can't get it to pull up here.

[00:29:01] But it's like, you know, at that point, you know, I'm just scoreboard watching that.

[00:29:07] I mean, I'm not really paying attention like that.

[00:29:09] Because you say, uh, K-State obviously has it under control.

[00:29:13] And then you're like, what?

[00:29:14] And then, you know, I turned over to it at the end.

[00:29:16] It's just like, man, that's just crazy.

[00:29:19] They were down 19-10 going into the fourth quarter and then took it over.

[00:29:24] Got the touchdown to get within two.

[00:29:26] And then, you know, late in the game, they got that big run and scored.

[00:29:31] And yeah, just a good, great win for Willie Fritz.

[00:29:36] We talked about them.

[00:29:37] We talked about them all year that they just don't have really the talent.

[00:29:41] But they got a great coach and he's going to build something.

[00:29:43] And lo and behold, they're 3-3 in Big 12 play.

[00:29:45] 3-3, 4-5 overall.

[00:29:48] I mean, for the baddest thing started off, I mean, this could be a team that could end up

[00:29:52] bowl eligible depending on how thing the rest of the season plays out.

[00:29:56] I mean, you looked at the rest of their schedule.

[00:29:59] I mean, Houston, they play Arizona next.

[00:30:02] Arizona's falling by the wayside.

[00:30:05] They got housed last night.

[00:30:06] I mean, I don't know what's going on in Arizona.

[00:30:09] Yeah, UCF ended their five-game skit in a big way against the Wildcats.

[00:30:16] And then they play Baylor.

[00:30:17] You know who knows about how that one goes.

[00:30:21] Yeah, Baylor's been so up and down.

[00:30:23] Yeah.

[00:30:25] And they close the season at probably not going to be at BYU.

[00:30:29] But the next two games are very winnable games and very well could at least get to that sixth,

[00:30:35] which would be a hell of a start for Willie Fritz considering how the season began for the Cougars.

[00:30:41] Absolutely.

[00:30:41] If he can get this squad to a bowl game, that is just an outstanding coaching job by a guy who we know,

[00:30:47] obviously, is a great coach.

[00:30:49] But if you can imagine he could take this roster and get them into a bowl game year one,

[00:30:53] what that will do for his recruiting there.

[00:30:55] Oh, absolutely.

[00:30:56] Yeah, we talked about it, I think, in the preseason, the preview episodes,

[00:31:00] about how this is one of those programs that could be kind of a sleeping giant almost

[00:31:07] because it's such a talent-rich area.

[00:31:10] And they have resources.

[00:31:12] It's a huge alumni base.

[00:31:15] Well, I was saying it's kind of like SMU.

[00:31:17] If they give them a product to be proud about, they're going to show up.

[00:31:23] They're going to support it.

[00:31:24] Yeah, they're going to support it.

[00:31:26] We've seen them be a great program in the past recently.

[00:31:30] Unlike SMU, this isn't a team that was great 40 years ago.

[00:31:33] This is a team that was really good 10 years ago.

[00:31:38] Yeah.

[00:31:38] They were great with Kevin Sumlin.

[00:31:41] They were great with Tom Herman.

[00:31:45] Yeah.

[00:31:46] I mean, they were playing BCS Bowls.

[00:31:48] Beating folk.

[00:31:51] Yeah, this is a team and a program that loves football.

[00:31:56] And again, just hats off to Willie Fritz.

[00:32:01] Also there, Arizona State beat Oklahoma State.

[00:32:03] Oklahoma State still win this in conference play.

[00:32:06] That was just crazy.

[00:32:07] What do you think about?

[00:32:09] Crazy.

[00:32:11] A lot of people had them.

[00:32:12] They were one of the favorites in the Big 12 this year.

[00:32:14] Yeah, a lot of people had them.

[00:32:17] But man, that running back at Arizona State.

[00:32:22] Was it Scott Abul?

[00:32:23] Man, he was a beast yesterday.

[00:32:26] 23, 153 on the ground.

[00:32:30] Four for 121 and two teddies in receiving.

[00:32:33] I mean, just a beast.

[00:32:35] They got their quarterback back.

[00:32:38] Sam Leaver was back this week, which is a good thing.

[00:32:40] Because the other guy is trash.

[00:32:47] Speaking of great coaching jobs.

[00:32:49] Yeah.

[00:32:49] Kenny Dillingham there.

[00:32:51] Dillingham.

[00:32:52] You know, he got brought into a tough situation.

[00:32:56] I mean, whatever happened when Herm Edwards was there, I mean, they ran everything into the ground somehow.

[00:33:03] Hey, it was bad.

[00:33:05] But, I mean, you almost felt bad for Dillingham because he came into such a bad situation, I've seen.

[00:33:11] But hell of a job in his second year there.

[00:33:15] I mean, already BOW eligible, 3-2 in the, you know, probably not going to win the Big 12 this year.

[00:33:22] But, I mean, to have them BOW eligible as bad as things were last year, hell of a job.

[00:33:27] No, absolutely.

[00:33:29] And just that Big 12, you know, got BYU at the top, unbeaten in conference play.

[00:33:35] You got Iowa State and Colorado right next to them with one loss.

[00:33:38] And you got five teams with two losses at Kansas State, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, Arizona State, West Virginia.

[00:33:45] And then you got Baylor, Houston, and TCU all right there at 3-3 too.

[00:33:50] Yeah, just a wild conference.

[00:33:52] You know, they're probably out of it, you know, to conference.

[00:33:55] They're out of it, but they can spoil somebody.

[00:33:58] Exactly.

[00:33:59] They can spoil somebody's stuff.

[00:34:00] It's like really the only teams having bad years there, UCF, Utah, the big shocker, you know.

[00:34:07] Utah, man, they have only scored 72 points through five conference games.

[00:34:13] That's wild.

[00:34:15] Insane.

[00:34:15] Yeah, Kansas, Arizona, and then Oklahoma State too, you know.

[00:34:19] Yeah.

[00:34:19] Tough, tough year for the Cowboys.

[00:34:22] Wow.

[00:34:22] Yeah, just crazy.

[00:34:23] Let's go back to the SEC to round up our college football.

[00:34:28] Already talked about, of course, the big ones, A&M, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida.

[00:34:34] Diego Pavia once again beats Hugh Freeze.

[00:34:37] Once again.

[00:34:38] Man.

[00:34:38] Just.

[00:34:39] And the craziest thing about that is where did Vegas get that line from?

[00:34:42] I did not get that.

[00:34:44] I definitely did.

[00:34:44] That was one of the ones.

[00:34:45] I was just like, what?

[00:34:46] How would an eight-point favorite or seven and a half, whatever, close that?

[00:34:51] What?

[00:34:52] That's, like, I get, like, but by this point you got to respect Vanderbilt.

[00:34:57] I know the name, but obviously, like, Vegas is asleep.

[00:35:01] Like, how did they miss this?

[00:35:03] So badly.

[00:35:06] Yeah, and yeah, I jumped out, and that was the only college game I got right this week.

[00:35:11] You know, I missed my Duke pick.

[00:35:12] I was like, give me.

[00:35:14] And that's exactly what I said when I saw that.

[00:35:16] I was like, there's no way in hell that Auburn could win.

[00:35:18] I thought it was pretty wrong.

[00:35:19] There's no way in hell they're going to beat them by more than a touchdown.

[00:35:23] Yeah.

[00:35:24] And I was like, I didn't think there was a way they were going to win.

[00:35:27] So much less win by eight.

[00:35:30] Once again.

[00:35:30] I was like, what in the world?

[00:35:32] Mm-hmm.

[00:35:33] Once again, we talked about it last week.

[00:35:36] Jarquez Hunter, we said he's gotten 20 carries two times this year.

[00:35:39] He's run for over 150, ran for over 200 last week, and they won both of those games.

[00:35:45] He got 12 carries yesterday.

[00:35:49] How do you have a guy that dynamic?

[00:35:51] How do you call yourself an offensive genius if you're Hugh Freeze,

[00:35:55] and you only give him 12 carries, and you send Peyton Thorne,

[00:35:58] who has shown you that he cannot be the quarterback you want?

[00:36:01] How do you let him throw the ball 29 times?

[00:36:04] Yeah.

[00:36:05] Because the Auburn defense did their job.

[00:36:08] Yeah.

[00:36:08] It's not like Randy's offense went crazy.

[00:36:11] Right.

[00:36:12] Yeah.

[00:36:13] 20.

[00:36:15] 29.

[00:36:16] I mean, 239.

[00:36:17] I mean, at least he didn't throw any picks.

[00:36:19] But yeah, I mean, Dak was on a 12-50.

[00:36:22] Yeah, he didn't lose in the game, but you can't.

[00:36:24] Yeah, you got to give that man more touches than 12.

[00:36:27] Yeah.

[00:36:28] What, three receptions?

[00:36:29] Okay.

[00:36:29] Like, yeah.

[00:36:31] But I mean, overall, yeah, Vanderbilt held 89 rushing yards,

[00:36:37] 143 receiving yards.

[00:36:39] Like, yeah, I mean, there wasn't anything.

[00:36:42] Yeah, their defense definitely kept them in the game.

[00:36:45] Man, they just can't win.

[00:36:48] They don't know how to win.

[00:36:50] I don't know how, if you're Auburn at this point, last week he equaled through 21 games

[00:36:59] the record of Brian Harsin.

[00:37:01] Yeah.

[00:37:01] He's right now.

[00:37:02] He fired Harsin.

[00:37:03] And now he's worse.

[00:37:05] He's worse.

[00:37:05] How do you justify holding on to Hugh Freeze when honestly his teams looked worse than his

[00:37:12] Harsin teams did?

[00:37:13] Yeah, I don't think Harsin loses to OU.

[00:37:18] Yeah.

[00:37:19] They don't lose that game.

[00:37:21] They don't lose.

[00:37:22] I don't think they lose to Missouri either.

[00:37:25] Yeah, I don't think they lose to Cal.

[00:37:29] How do you, I don't know how you justify keeping them.

[00:37:32] And then if you're an Auburn fan right now, you got to be wondering what if they had decided

[00:37:36] to keep Cadillac and just go after big time coordinators, man.

[00:37:39] Yeah.

[00:37:41] Because he had that team motivated.

[00:37:43] And then he kicked Cadillac off the staff.

[00:37:47] Obviously, something happened at the bowl thing.

[00:37:52] But it's been noticeable without him.

[00:37:56] Tell you that.

[00:37:58] Don't know exactly what all happened with that situation.

[00:38:00] But man, he's definitely been missed.

[00:38:04] If you're Auburn, yeah.

[00:38:06] But yeah, the big what if.

[00:38:07] Yeah, I definitely don't think they'd be in this situation right now with Cadillac as a coach.

[00:38:13] No, you know, they'd probably at least be playing with some more effort or more.

[00:38:19] Some more heart.

[00:38:20] Some heart, yeah.

[00:38:21] It's just.

[00:38:23] Dude, I think.

[00:38:24] No.

[00:38:24] Something's not right there.

[00:38:26] Yeah.

[00:38:26] Something's not right.

[00:38:27] But I think long term, I think it's.

[00:38:30] Honestly, I think it's karma.

[00:38:31] I think what's the name is a trash individual.

[00:38:38] I think that holier than thou.

[00:38:40] Yeah.

[00:38:41] That holier than thou persona that he had for a while in the longest is a bunch of bullshit, honestly.

[00:38:50] And, you know, more when they found out that stuff with, you know, the whole prostitution thing when he was at Ole Miss, I think that's really more him.

[00:39:01] And he just covers it up well, honestly.

[00:39:04] I could be wrong.

[00:39:05] No, because he showed that stuff again.

[00:39:08] You know, some of those things that happened in Liberty and, you know, how he, you know.

[00:39:12] So, even at that situation beforehand when he was at the high school level.

[00:39:18] Some questionable stuff.

[00:39:20] You know, I just don't think he's a good dude.

[00:39:22] You know, I think it's just.

[00:39:24] It's caught up to him.

[00:39:26] And some of his laundry's been aired.

[00:39:28] And, you know, we've seen it from his quarterback there.

[00:39:32] We're still having a field day every week.

[00:39:35] But Bo Wallace, man, is loving this.

[00:39:37] I have followed Bo Wallace just for his first Auburn team.

[00:39:41] He's having a great.

[00:39:43] He's cooking the Auburn fans to try to get into it with him.

[00:39:48] But, yeah.

[00:39:48] If you're.

[00:39:49] No, you're right.

[00:39:50] And, you know, from even ignoring all of that stuff.

[00:39:52] Just from an on-the-field perspective.

[00:39:54] I've never seen it.

[00:39:56] The big deal with Hugh Freeze.

[00:39:57] Yeah, he had some good offenses back in the day at Ole Miss.

[00:40:01] Big deal.

[00:40:01] Yeah.

[00:40:02] And we've talked about this before.

[00:40:04] He beat Nick Saban two years in a row.

[00:40:05] Okay.

[00:40:06] But what did he do with that?

[00:40:08] Nothing.

[00:40:08] Alabama still won the conference in both of those years.

[00:40:11] So, okay.

[00:40:13] He was like the most stereotypical Auburn hire of all time just because he beat Belmont.

[00:40:19] That's his claim to fame.

[00:40:21] Yeah.

[00:40:21] And it's.

[00:40:22] You know, for people that want to supposedly get away from, we only care about beating Belmont.

[00:40:28] That wasn't the message that you gave by bringing him in.

[00:40:33] You said it.

[00:40:33] You said it.

[00:40:34] Yeah.

[00:40:35] No.

[00:40:35] You want to.

[00:40:37] Yeah.

[00:40:38] You really want to compete.

[00:40:39] You keep Cadillac the guy that had no business having the game they did a couple years ago in Tuscaloosa in the Iron Bowl.

[00:40:46] And they ran for like, what, 300 yards on us.

[00:40:49] Yeah.

[00:40:49] And made it a closer game than it ever should have been.

[00:40:52] Right.

[00:40:53] With Cadillac as the interim coach there.

[00:40:55] Exactly.

[00:40:56] But yeah.

[00:40:57] So, Diego Pavia ends his career 3-0 versus Hugh Freeze.

[00:41:00] 3-0 versus Hugh Freeze.

[00:41:03] Elsewhere in the SEC, Tennessee survived Kentucky.

[00:41:06] You know, schizophrenic Kentucky.

[00:41:08] And there's.

[00:41:09] This is so weird.

[00:41:11] I'm shaky.

[00:41:12] Kentucky is so weird.

[00:41:14] Like, I don't understand them at all.

[00:41:15] Like, this is a team that got absolutely slaughtered by Auburn last week.

[00:41:22] Do you think they're going to go to Knoxville and just get mollywhopped?

[00:41:27] But nope.

[00:41:29] They hang around.

[00:41:31] You know, again, maybe this quarterback should have been playing beforehand because the Moe would do.

[00:41:38] You know, made some nice runs.

[00:41:40] You know, through the bad pick at the end there.

[00:41:43] Ooh.

[00:41:44] Really, really bad pick.

[00:41:45] But.

[00:41:46] But again, that's.

[00:41:47] I mean, that's just lack of experience.

[00:41:50] But if I'm Kentucky.

[00:41:52] If I'm a fan, I'm like, why has he not been playing at all?

[00:41:55] Because Renegraff is not it.

[00:41:57] And now.

[00:41:59] You're Kentucky.

[00:42:00] You're looking at missing out in the bowl for the first time in probably a good few years.

[00:42:04] You know, I can't recall it off the top of my head.

[00:42:06] But they have Murray State.

[00:42:08] So there's a win there.

[00:42:09] And then you have at Texas and then home for the rivalry game with Louisville.

[00:42:13] So.

[00:42:14] I don't think we need one of those.

[00:42:17] I was about to say.

[00:42:18] It's going to take a big feat.

[00:42:20] So maybe.

[00:42:20] Why don't you just.

[00:42:22] Play this.

[00:42:23] Play this young guy.

[00:42:25] Yeah.

[00:42:26] Unless you're just hoping that.

[00:42:28] I mean, he's a mobile.

[00:42:30] He's a mobile.

[00:42:30] At least he brings you some mobility.

[00:42:32] He's a mobile quarterback.

[00:42:35] I mean, they have some.

[00:42:36] Bring you something different.

[00:42:37] Yeah.

[00:42:38] And they actually have some explosive plays.

[00:42:40] And that's something we haven't seen from Kentucky all season.

[00:42:43] It's an explosive offense.

[00:42:45] And I still don't understand how they ever beat Ole Miss.

[00:42:48] I don't.

[00:42:49] Because the wild.

[00:42:50] You go back and think about that game.

[00:42:52] And you're like.

[00:42:53] What in the world happened?

[00:42:54] How did they beat Ole Miss?

[00:42:55] How did they almost beat Georgia?

[00:42:58] Yeah.

[00:42:59] And then last week.

[00:43:00] I mean, they were scared.

[00:43:02] They had Tennessee.

[00:43:04] Right.

[00:43:04] I mean, they had Tennessee scared yesterday.

[00:43:07] Until the end.

[00:43:08] I mean, until they pulled away.

[00:43:10] You know.

[00:43:11] At the end.

[00:43:11] But I mean, Kentucky.

[00:43:13] Had that game right where they wanted it.

[00:43:15] It was crazy.

[00:43:16] It's like, dude.

[00:43:17] This Kentucky team is so.

[00:43:20] If you're a Kentucky fan.

[00:43:21] You got to be frustrated.

[00:43:22] Because you're like.

[00:43:23] What?

[00:43:28] Different every week.

[00:43:30] No consistency at all.

[00:43:32] No.

[00:43:33] Yeah.

[00:43:33] And no, you're right.

[00:43:34] They.

[00:43:35] I kind of stopped paying attention to it.

[00:43:37] In the third quarter.

[00:43:38] I was like.

[00:43:38] Okay.

[00:43:38] Tennessee is about to pull away.

[00:43:39] Then.

[00:43:40] And then.

[00:43:41] Kentucky got that touchdown.

[00:43:43] And the two point.

[00:43:43] Yeah.

[00:43:43] Got right back within three.

[00:43:44] And I was like.

[00:43:45] Oh.

[00:43:46] But.

[00:43:47] Tennessee got that late score.

[00:43:49] To really put it away.

[00:43:50] Man.

[00:43:51] Talk about some.

[00:43:53] Man.

[00:43:53] You got to be.

[00:43:54] You'll be taking your heart meds.

[00:43:55] If you're a Tennessee fan this year.

[00:43:57] Man.

[00:43:58] They've had.

[00:43:58] Every week.

[00:43:59] They.

[00:43:59] They.

[00:44:00] They don't have their easy game.

[00:44:02] For anything.

[00:44:03] Yeah.

[00:44:04] There's enough.

[00:44:04] I thought for sure.

[00:44:06] This was going to be their easy game.

[00:44:07] You know.

[00:44:08] I don't.

[00:44:08] I don't think.

[00:44:10] Yeah.

[00:44:10] Right.

[00:44:11] You thought maybe.

[00:44:11] Okay.

[00:44:12] This Kentucky team is faltering.

[00:44:13] Maybe this is where Tennessee really.

[00:44:15] Shows up and pulls away.

[00:44:16] But nah.

[00:44:18] Nah.

[00:44:18] And they're not done yet.

[00:44:19] They still got road trips to Georgia.

[00:44:21] And there to build this year.

[00:44:22] So.

[00:44:23] Yeah.

[00:44:24] Yeah.

[00:44:25] Do your.

[00:44:25] Do your breathing exercises.

[00:44:27] Vols fans.

[00:44:28] Yeah.

[00:44:29] Good thing for them.

[00:44:29] At least to play Mississippi State at home this week.

[00:44:32] Which you would hope.

[00:44:32] That's right.

[00:44:33] Who.

[00:44:33] You know.

[00:44:34] Congrats to the Bulldogs.

[00:44:35] For getting a homecoming win over UMass yesterday.

[00:44:38] Yeah.

[00:44:39] Get them the second win.

[00:44:41] Probably the last win.

[00:44:42] Yeah.

[00:44:43] Yeah.

[00:44:43] Probably their last.

[00:44:45] Win of the season.

[00:44:46] And then.

[00:44:46] Also Oklahoma.

[00:44:48] A win over Maine yesterday.

[00:44:49] So.

[00:44:50] Some teams that needed a W.

[00:44:52] Even if they weren't against the toughest of opponents.

[00:44:56] By.

[00:44:57] Because.

[00:44:57] Man.

[00:44:59] This offseason.

[00:45:00] And Norman's going to be a very uncomfortable.

[00:45:02] Offseason.

[00:45:03] It's going to be interesting to see what happens.

[00:45:05] And you know.

[00:45:06] They've got.

[00:45:07] Missouri.

[00:45:07] Alabama.

[00:45:08] And LSU left there.

[00:45:10] For the sooners.

[00:45:11] So that's.

[00:45:12] I don't see a win there.

[00:45:13] Man.

[00:45:13] Oh you not making a bowl game.

[00:45:15] Yikes.

[00:45:17] That would be crazy.

[00:45:17] Because it's at Missouri.

[00:45:19] Home for Bama.

[00:45:19] And at LSU.

[00:45:20] So that's.

[00:45:21] Yeah.

[00:45:21] That's tough.

[00:45:23] The SEC did them no favors with their schedule.

[00:45:26] At all.

[00:45:27] No.

[00:45:27] No.

[00:45:28] They did not.

[00:45:28] Now.

[00:45:29] Missouri.

[00:45:29] Who knows what Missouri is going to be doing.

[00:45:31] Maybe.

[00:45:32] I bet.

[00:45:33] So that's.

[00:45:33] Who the.

[00:45:34] Who the hell knows what's going to happen that one.

[00:45:37] Yeah.

[00:45:38] Let's look ahead.

[00:45:39] To next week.

[00:45:40] On the doc.

[00:45:41] Of course.

[00:45:41] A big one.

[00:45:43] Yeah.

[00:45:44] A playoff eliminator.

[00:45:46] Yeah.

[00:45:47] In Baton Rouge.

[00:45:48] Right now.

[00:45:48] It looks like Alabama's a two and a half point favorite or so.

[00:45:54] I think we're just living off our.

[00:45:55] I think we're living off our name a little bit.

[00:45:57] I don't know.

[00:45:59] Yeah.

[00:45:59] We'll see.

[00:46:00] You know.

[00:46:00] You know.

[00:46:01] You'd love to think that last week's performance against Missouri is a harbinger of things

[00:46:05] to come.

[00:46:05] But.

[00:46:07] You just never know.

[00:46:08] Especially with a Brian Kelly coach team.

[00:46:10] We talked about Kentucky being up and down.

[00:46:15] Maybe they come out and Nussmeyer looks like a Heisman candidate.

[00:46:18] Maybe they come out and he's.

[00:46:19] You know.

[00:46:20] Yeah.

[00:46:21] They shit the bed and we route them.

[00:46:23] Who the hell knows.

[00:46:24] Yeah.

[00:46:25] I mean.

[00:46:25] It could go a lot.

[00:46:26] A lot of different.

[00:46:27] A lot of different ways on Saturday night.

[00:46:30] All I know is it's going to be loud.

[00:46:32] It's going to be wild down there.

[00:46:34] It's going to be nighttime.

[00:46:35] They have all day to get drunk.

[00:46:38] And game day is going to be there.

[00:46:40] So you know it's going to be a wild atmosphere.

[00:46:43] And hopefully we just come in there and run the damn ball.

[00:46:49] Yeah.

[00:46:50] Have long possessions.

[00:46:51] Keep Nussmeyer on the sideline.

[00:46:54] Because obviously they have.

[00:46:56] Yeah.

[00:46:57] Go ahead.

[00:46:58] You know obviously they have their issues.

[00:47:00] It was stopping the mobile quarterback.

[00:47:02] We saw that against A&M.

[00:47:04] You know hopefully we saw that.

[00:47:06] And puts Jalen in some good spots to run.

[00:47:10] But also that we run with the running backs.

[00:47:12] Because you know the running backs.

[00:47:14] A&M ran well.

[00:47:15] So you know that's been their biggest thing.

[00:47:18] They can't really stop the run very consistently.

[00:47:22] So hopefully we can establish a running game.

[00:47:25] Because the main thing with that is.

[00:47:27] We can't do anything to give them.

[00:47:31] Give that crowd momentum.

[00:47:33] We can't have a huge pick.

[00:47:34] We can't.

[00:47:36] And we can't.

[00:47:37] And we got to play smart.

[00:47:39] Like I understand a penalty in a play.

[00:47:44] But we cannot have in this pre-snap bullshit.

[00:47:47] No.

[00:47:48] You can't.

[00:47:48] And you can't have over 10 penalties.

[00:47:51] No.

[00:47:51] You can't have consecutive three and outs.

[00:47:54] You know you can't go dormant for stretches.

[00:47:56] No.

[00:47:56] You mentioned you got to use the running backs.

[00:47:58] To keep that crowd at bay.

[00:48:00] And really you also got to do it.

[00:48:02] To get maybe get those safeties.

[00:48:04] Cheat up a little bit.

[00:48:05] And maybe get Ryan Williams into some one-on-one coverage.

[00:48:07] So he can make a big play.

[00:48:09] You know.

[00:48:09] Exactly.

[00:48:10] Because.

[00:48:10] And you mentioned it.

[00:48:11] LSU's two losses this year.

[00:48:13] A&M and USC.

[00:48:15] They ran the ball.

[00:48:16] That USC game especially.

[00:48:18] They just ran it right at them.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:20] Yeah.

[00:48:22] Yeah.

[00:48:23] Elsewhere.

[00:48:23] Georgia.

[00:48:24] Like we said.

[00:48:24] Visits Oxford and Ole Miss.

[00:48:25] And Ole Miss team coming off with a lot of momentum.

[00:48:28] And we talked about all those questions with Carson Beck.

[00:48:32] Yeah.

[00:48:33] But that really just.

[00:48:35] Like.

[00:49:02] I didn't think.

[00:49:03] Two bad losses in a row.

[00:49:05] You know.

[00:49:05] At home.

[00:49:06] Losing.

[00:49:07] The way that they did to LSU.

[00:49:10] And then the way they've lost to Ole Miss.

[00:49:13] Not even competitive in either of those games.

[00:49:15] So even though there's still one game out of the.

[00:49:18] You know.

[00:49:19] A bowl game.

[00:49:21] As an Arkansas fan.

[00:49:22] You gotta be kind of.

[00:49:24] Frustrated.

[00:49:25] That in those two games.

[00:49:27] Not so much that you lost.

[00:49:28] But how you lost.

[00:49:29] You got.

[00:49:30] Slaughter.

[00:49:32] You know.

[00:49:33] I said it years ago.

[00:49:35] And you know.

[00:49:35] Obviously.

[00:49:36] They stay in the SEC.

[00:49:37] Because of the money.

[00:49:38] But.

[00:49:39] From a competitive standpoint.

[00:49:40] Arkansas would have been so much better off in the Big 12.

[00:49:43] 12.

[00:49:44] Absolutely.

[00:49:46] Absolutely.

[00:49:47] They'd be.

[00:49:48] Just right at home.

[00:49:49] In the middle of all that chaos.

[00:49:50] But there wasn't a Big 12.

[00:49:51] When they jumped to the SEC.

[00:49:53] So.

[00:49:53] No.

[00:49:54] Yeah.

[00:49:54] No.

[00:49:54] Yeah.

[00:49:55] That was years ago.

[00:49:57] SWC was falling apart.

[00:49:58] And they made the right move for them.

[00:50:00] But.

[00:50:00] Yeah.

[00:50:00] They made the move before the Converse went.

[00:50:02] Belly up.

[00:50:03] Yeah.

[00:50:03] But they've never won it.

[00:50:04] Since they've been.

[00:50:05] So.

[00:50:06] No.

[00:50:07] Elsewhere.

[00:50:08] Let's see.

[00:50:08] Running through.

[00:50:10] Let's see.

[00:50:10] Ohio State.

[00:50:11] Just running through top 25 games.

[00:50:12] Ohio State.

[00:50:13] Host Purdue.

[00:50:14] Miami on the road to Georgia Tech.

[00:50:16] Florida.

[00:50:18] On the road to Texas.

[00:50:19] You know.

[00:50:20] We'll see.

[00:50:21] If DJ Lagways.

[00:50:23] Yeah.

[00:50:23] DJ doesn't play at all.

[00:50:25] That could get ugly.

[00:50:27] Yeah.

[00:50:27] You know.

[00:50:28] Indiana.

[00:50:29] Host Michigan.

[00:50:30] You know.

[00:50:31] Again.

[00:50:31] This Michigan squad is not last year's.

[00:50:33] Indiana's a 14 point favorite now.

[00:50:35] And.

[00:50:35] I don't see a reason why they won't.

[00:50:37] No.

[00:50:37] Won't cover.

[00:50:39] Yeah.

[00:50:39] Iowa State tries to rebound at Kansas.

[00:50:41] Texas.

[00:50:42] Army tries to.

[00:50:44] I think so.

[00:50:45] Army.

[00:50:46] Tries to stay unbeaten at North Texas.

[00:50:48] A good North Texas team.

[00:50:49] But Army.

[00:50:50] Might be an interesting game.

[00:50:53] Yeah.

[00:50:53] I think it depends on the health of that Army quarterback.

[00:50:56] Yeah.

[00:50:58] Clemson tries to rebound.

[00:50:59] They go at Virginia Tech.

[00:51:00] Who had a bad loss themselves at Syracuse yesterday.

[00:51:04] They were up what?

[00:51:05] 24 to 3.

[00:51:07] Like they were taking it to Syracuse.

[00:51:09] And Syracuse just came all the way back.

[00:51:12] Yeah.

[00:51:12] You don't know.

[00:51:13] Yeah.

[00:51:13] Speaking of bad losses.

[00:51:14] Yeah.

[00:51:15] That was a big one in the big 12.

[00:51:18] Colorado at Texas Tech.

[00:51:21] Like we mentioned with those losses.

[00:51:24] Colorado's right in the thicket of.

[00:51:25] Right in the thicket of.

[00:51:26] To that big 12 title game.

[00:51:27] And if you look at their schedule.

[00:51:29] There's not anything on there that says that they can't win.

[00:51:32] No.

[00:51:33] Yeah.

[00:51:33] I think we played that game with them last week.

[00:51:35] And yeah.

[00:51:35] They.

[00:51:36] With the way they're playing.

[00:51:37] They had a bye week this way to heal whatever nagging injuries are there.

[00:51:41] Yeah.

[00:51:41] But Lubbock is a strange place.

[00:51:43] Lubbock is definitely a wild spot.

[00:51:46] Wild spot.

[00:51:47] We've seen a lot of craziness over the years there.

[00:51:49] Mm-hmm.

[00:51:50] South Carolina off their big win.

[00:51:52] They visit Vanderbilt.

[00:51:54] Mm.

[00:51:55] That should be a good one, man.

[00:51:56] I think that's going to be a good one.

[00:51:57] I think that could be a hell of a game.

[00:51:59] Mm-hmm.

[00:52:00] You know, Vandy.

[00:52:01] Vandy already a bowl eligible.

[00:52:03] South Carolina trying to get the bowl eligibility.

[00:52:05] Mm-hmm.

[00:52:06] But you know.

[00:52:07] That'll be interesting to see how they come into that game.

[00:52:10] Just because, you know.

[00:52:11] Such a big win.

[00:52:12] I mean, A&M obviously didn't do well off their big win.

[00:52:15] And so this is their.

[00:52:17] So we'll see.

[00:52:18] But I think they'll be okay because, I mean, obviously no one's taking Vandy

[00:52:22] widely at this point.

[00:52:24] I don't.

[00:52:25] I would hope not.

[00:52:26] Yeah.

[00:52:27] You know, so.

[00:52:28] It'll be interesting to see a Vandy offense and Dio Pavia versus that

[00:52:32] South Carolina pass rush.

[00:52:34] Yeah.

[00:52:34] That front.

[00:52:37] True.

[00:52:38] And, you know, that was the thing that really shocked me because I thought

[00:52:42] the difference in that game was going to be because that South Carolina

[00:52:46] offensive line has been up and down.

[00:52:49] And I thought that A&M defensive line was going to get after them.

[00:52:52] No.

[00:52:53] They played great last night.

[00:52:55] I mean, they just.

[00:52:56] I couldn't.

[00:52:57] Like, I couldn't believe how well they ran the ball.

[00:53:00] Like, I thought they were going to get.

[00:53:03] You know, get after four sellers and having to throw a lot.

[00:53:06] And that wasn't the case at all.

[00:53:08] So.

[00:53:09] And then, you know, when they did get to them, like we mentioned before,

[00:53:12] they just couldn't take them down.

[00:53:14] No.

[00:53:14] At all.

[00:53:15] I mean.

[00:53:16] Just an epic, epic.

[00:53:18] Just an epic game.

[00:53:20] I mean, that was about as perfect a game as South Carolina could have hoped for.

[00:53:24] And really, it could have been worse, you know, where, you know,

[00:53:26] the one fumble in the first half and Rocket Sanders had a big run and

[00:53:30] fumbled at the end.

[00:53:31] You know, they'd let A&M get back into it to tie it at halftime.

[00:53:34] I mean, they scored there and it made the route might be on before halftime.

[00:53:41] Let's see.

[00:53:42] Elsewhere.

[00:53:42] Number one, Oregon host, Maryland.

[00:53:44] Tennessee host, Mississippi State, as we mentioned.

[00:53:47] Number 10, Notre Dame host, Florida State.

[00:53:51] Florida State, man.

[00:53:53] It's just so bad.

[00:53:54] Dude, you know, that was, what's the name?

[00:53:57] That was the first time Mike Brown ever beat Florida State.

[00:54:00] I didn't realize he went to Florida State.

[00:54:02] I mean, I was about to say the same thing.

[00:54:03] I saw that little note, his first win over his alma mater.

[00:54:06] I was like, I did not know Matt Brown was a Florida State guy.

[00:54:09] Crazy.

[00:54:10] Was he there with Lee Corso?

[00:54:12] Could have been.

[00:54:13] Is it kind of the same age?

[00:54:15] Yeah.

[00:54:16] Who knows?

[00:54:17] That's something to look up.

[00:54:18] Yeah.

[00:54:19] Although, how wild would it be if that's the win that Florida State gets this year?

[00:54:24] I doubt it happens in South Bend.

[00:54:27] Oh, man.

[00:54:28] You're talking about.

[00:54:30] Wow.

[00:54:31] Yeah.

[00:54:32] Two terrible losses at home.

[00:54:34] Oh, man.

[00:54:36] That'd be.

[00:54:37] Penn State, they try to rebound.

[00:54:39] They host Washington.

[00:54:41] Tricky game.

[00:54:42] Tricky, yeah.

[00:54:43] Washington.

[00:54:44] They're another kind of one of those up and down teams this year.

[00:54:46] But, you know, how.

[00:54:47] Yeah, they got the big win yesterday.

[00:54:49] Beat USC.

[00:54:52] I bet you.

[00:54:53] How does Penn State respond?

[00:54:55] That's the question.

[00:54:56] But talking about that real quick about the USC Washington game yesterday.

[00:55:00] I bet you they never thought that they would be on the Big Ten Network.

[00:55:07] Just talking about things that just don't feel right.

[00:55:11] But it's the fact that you're not on NBC.

[00:55:15] You're not on Fox.

[00:55:19] You're on the Big Ten Network.

[00:55:21] For that type of caliber game, you would have never thought that game would have been on.

[00:55:27] No.

[00:55:28] Yeah.

[00:55:28] That's not exactly what the Big Ten thought they were bringing in either.

[00:55:32] No.

[00:55:32] At all.

[00:55:32] You know, speaking of USC, man, it's.

[00:55:35] Oof.

[00:55:36] It's bad.

[00:55:37] They need two wins out of their last three games to get to bowl.

[00:55:41] And, you know, granted, it's a.

[00:55:45] They do host a.

[00:55:47] All the.

[00:55:47] Suddenly struggling Nebraska team.

[00:55:51] Yeah.

[00:55:52] Next week.

[00:55:53] That was a bad loss.

[00:55:54] Yeah.

[00:55:55] A home loss to UCLA is not a good look for.

[00:55:59] No.

[00:55:59] The Huskers.

[00:56:00] They've now lost three in a row.

[00:56:01] So.

[00:56:02] And Questa six is just.

[00:56:04] It's on hold.

[00:56:05] Goodness.

[00:56:07] Yeah.

[00:56:08] As.

[00:56:09] As Matt Rule tries to build in there.

[00:56:11] But, you know, then you see them.

[00:56:12] But I don't know how.

[00:56:13] UCLA and Notre Dame after that.

[00:56:15] Go ahead.

[00:56:17] Yeah.

[00:56:17] But I'm saying.

[00:56:18] How do you go from.

[00:56:19] Almost beating Ohio State in.

[00:56:22] In Columbia.

[00:56:24] To coming home and.

[00:56:25] Looking bad.

[00:56:27] Yeah.

[00:56:27] That made UCLA look pretty decent.

[00:56:30] UCLA may be coming around a little bit.

[00:56:32] But, man.

[00:56:33] That's a tough loss.

[00:56:34] That's.

[00:56:35] Yeah.

[00:56:35] That's.

[00:56:35] That's not a good loss.

[00:56:37] Oh.

[00:56:38] They just do not have a good squad there.

[00:56:40] Yeah.

[00:56:41] No.

[00:56:41] But the thing with Nebraska.

[00:56:43] That offense.

[00:56:46] Is bad.

[00:56:47] They.

[00:56:47] Their play calling is bad.

[00:56:49] They don't.

[00:56:50] It's a bad.

[00:56:51] And they might.

[00:56:52] They may.

[00:56:53] Need to look.

[00:56:54] Get a new offensive coordinator.

[00:56:56] In the.

[00:56:56] In the offseason.

[00:56:59] Because.

[00:56:59] Yeah.

[00:57:00] It's.

[00:57:00] Yeah.

[00:57:01] Yeah.

[00:57:04] And then.

[00:57:05] Let's see.

[00:57:07] Boise State.

[00:57:08] Ashton.

[00:57:09] Gentie.

[00:57:10] Looks for his.

[00:57:12] Continues.

[00:57:13] His quest.

[00:57:13] Toward 2,000 yards.

[00:57:15] He was a little bit.

[00:57:15] Slowed down.

[00:57:16] Early in the game.

[00:57:18] This weekend.

[00:57:18] But then.

[00:57:19] Bounced back.

[00:57:20] And got about.

[00:57:20] What?

[00:57:20] Another buck.

[00:57:21] 30 or something.

[00:57:23] His assault.

[00:57:24] On Barry Sanders.

[00:57:25] His record.

[00:57:26] You know.

[00:57:27] He's got.

[00:57:28] He's about.

[00:57:29] 1,000 yards away now.

[00:57:30] And they got.

[00:57:31] Four regular season games left.

[00:57:32] They'll probably have a.

[00:57:34] Conference title game.

[00:57:36] Probably a rematch with.

[00:57:37] UNLV.

[00:57:38] You know.

[00:57:38] I would think.

[00:57:39] Yeah.

[00:57:40] So he needs to average.

[00:57:41] About 200 a game.

[00:57:42] And then.

[00:57:42] You know.

[00:57:43] You know.

[00:57:43] What are those.

[00:57:44] Playoff games.

[00:57:45] That's a lot.

[00:57:46] That's a lot.

[00:57:47] But still.

[00:57:47] That's a lot.

[00:57:49] Exactly.

[00:57:49] He'll get an invite to New York.

[00:57:51] You know.

[00:57:52] He has their money.

[00:57:54] He would have to think.

[00:57:55] What?

[00:57:56] Five.

[00:57:56] Five games.

[00:57:57] So he's probably at least.

[00:57:59] Getting.

[00:57:59] Five.

[00:58:00] Six.

[00:58:01] Probably closer.

[00:58:02] Six.

[00:58:02] Six.

[00:58:02] Six.

[00:58:03] Six.

[00:58:03] Six.

[00:58:06] I'm about to say.

[00:58:07] He's got to get to 2000.

[00:58:08] Just the way he's running.

[00:58:11] For sure.

[00:58:12] And he'll probably get that invite to New York.

[00:58:14] For the Heisman ceremony too.

[00:58:16] And well deserved.

[00:58:17] For sure.

[00:58:18] Pit rebound.

[00:58:19] They try to rebound.

[00:58:20] They host Virginia.

[00:58:22] Holy War next week.

[00:58:23] BYU at Utah.

[00:58:25] Even though Utah hasn't had that good of a year.

[00:58:27] You know.

[00:58:28] They're going to be hyped up.

[00:58:29] Oh yeah.

[00:58:29] They're going to be right.

[00:58:30] They're rivals unbeaten here.

[00:58:31] So.

[00:58:33] But BYU.

[00:58:34] Now the interesting thing is.

[00:58:35] Sataki's been on both sides of that rivalry.

[00:58:37] Because he played at BYU.

[00:58:39] But then he coached at Utah.

[00:58:42] Now he's back at his alma mater.

[00:58:43] So.

[00:58:44] He knows that game like no other.

[00:58:46] But yeah.

[00:58:47] If there's a game called Winningham a win.

[00:58:48] It'll be that one.

[00:58:49] So.

[00:58:50] Yeah.

[00:58:50] That'll be one to watch.

[00:58:52] For sure.

[00:58:54] And then Washington State.

[00:58:56] You know.

[00:58:56] The.

[00:58:56] Like the most quiet 7-1 season ever.

[00:58:59] Yeah.

[00:58:59] They host Utah State.

[00:59:01] As they try to.

[00:59:02] Do whatever they can.

[00:59:03] To try to get noticed by the playoff committee.

[00:59:07] Man.

[00:59:07] Yeah.

[00:59:08] It's tough.

[00:59:08] Because that.

[00:59:09] That quarterback's had a hell of a year.

[00:59:11] Quietly.

[00:59:11] That man has put up numbers like no other.

[00:59:15] With John.

[00:59:15] John McTier.

[00:59:16] The only thing is.

[00:59:18] The only game that people really.

[00:59:20] Probably paid attention to is when they got slaughtered by.

[00:59:22] Boise State.

[00:59:24] Mm-hmm.

[00:59:24] Yeah.

[00:59:25] And they don't really have a marquee game left.

[00:59:27] They got Utah State.

[00:59:29] New Mexico.

[00:59:29] Oregon State.

[00:59:30] And Wyoming.

[00:59:31] So.

[00:59:32] But they.

[00:59:33] All they.

[00:59:33] All they can do is win out.

[00:59:35] Win out.

[00:59:36] And hopefully things.

[00:59:37] Yeah.

[00:59:38] Go crazy.

[00:59:39] But.

[00:59:39] But.

[00:59:40] Probably not.

[00:59:41] But.

[00:59:42] You know.

[00:59:43] But hopefully.

[00:59:44] It'd be interesting.

[00:59:45] If they can.

[00:59:45] At least run the.

[00:59:46] Run the table there.

[00:59:47] And.

[00:59:48] Keep themselves.

[00:59:49] At least.

[00:59:50] In the.

[00:59:51] In the conversation.

[00:59:53] To a certain extent.

[00:59:55] Yeah.

[00:59:56] Yeah.

[00:59:56] And then.

[00:59:57] I'm talking about the team that.

[00:59:59] Did themselves no favors yesterday.

[01:00:02] Completely taking themselves out.

[01:00:03] After getting blown out by Notre Dame.

[01:00:05] They went down to Houston.

[01:00:07] And lost to Rice.

[01:00:08] Navy.

[01:00:09] Oh.

[01:00:10] Yeah.

[01:00:11] Surprising.

[01:00:11] Man.

[01:00:12] Yeah.

[01:00:13] I was.

[01:00:13] I was.

[01:00:13] I was.

[01:00:13] I was.

[01:00:13] I was.

[01:00:14] I was.

[01:00:15] I was.

[01:00:15] I was.

[01:00:15] I was.

[01:00:15] I was.

[01:00:17] I was.

[01:00:17] I was.

[01:00:17] I was.

[01:00:19] I was.

[01:00:20] They just fired their coach.

[01:00:22] Yeah.

[01:00:24] So yeah.

[01:00:25] It's a.

[01:00:25] Tough look for Navy.

[01:00:26] In a game that was delayed for what?

[01:00:28] Five hours.

[01:00:29] At one point.

[01:00:29] Yeah.

[01:00:30] They had.

[01:00:30] Yeah.

[01:00:30] They had like three or four rain delays.

[01:00:32] So yeah.

[01:00:33] But not a good look at all there.

[01:00:36] Tough.

[01:00:37] So now I guess.

[01:00:39] Yeah.

[01:00:40] Interesting day in the American because Memphis also went down at UTSA.

[01:00:45] Yeah.

[01:00:46] You know.

[01:00:46] Effectively ending any hope they have a playoff probably.

[01:00:49] But also opening the door.

[01:00:51] Now Tulane and Army look like the favorites to make the title game.

[01:00:56] Tulane beat Charlotte last Thursday and stayed unbeaten in conference play.

[01:01:01] Yeah.

[01:01:01] So we'll see.

[01:01:03] You know.

[01:01:05] I think we can probably move on to the NFL real quick.

[01:01:09] My thing is do we think that Army will do any better against Notre Dame than Navy did?

[01:01:18] You know.

[01:01:18] Who knows.

[01:01:19] But definitely they need.

[01:01:21] They need their quarterback healthy.

[01:01:24] I'm trying to think.

[01:01:24] Let me look up his name real quick.

[01:01:26] I've said that.

[01:01:26] Bryson Daly.

[01:01:27] That's it.

[01:01:28] And they.

[01:01:28] You know.

[01:01:29] Leads the team in rushing almost a thousand yards.

[01:01:35] We mentioned next week they got North Texas and then they do get Notre Dame.

[01:01:39] Not quite at home.

[01:01:40] I think that game's in the Meadowlands as well.

[01:01:42] Yeah.

[01:01:43] Like that Navy game was.

[01:01:44] But.

[01:01:46] That's in Yankee Stadium.

[01:01:48] Oh.

[01:01:48] Interesting.

[01:01:49] And for us.

[01:01:51] But yeah.

[01:01:52] I mean.

[01:01:52] Army.

[01:01:54] By all accounts.

[01:01:55] You know.

[01:01:55] Technically there are only two conference games left.

[01:01:57] Or North Texas and UTSA.

[01:02:00] Yeah.

[01:02:00] So they could still finish that conference season unbeaten.

[01:02:03] Playing the title game.

[01:02:05] And then they have the Navy game.

[01:02:07] The next week.

[01:02:08] Which is you know.

[01:02:09] It's not an exhibition game.

[01:02:10] It counts.

[01:02:11] But it's.

[01:02:11] It's not a conference game.

[01:02:12] Not a conference.

[01:02:13] Yeah.

[01:02:14] But.

[01:02:15] Yeah.

[01:02:16] Either way.

[01:02:17] Great season.

[01:02:17] And you know.

[01:02:18] They got to handle their business in Danton next week.

[01:02:20] And then worry about Notre Dame.

[01:02:22] Yeah.

[01:02:24] Good.

[01:02:24] Yeah.

[01:02:24] North Texas coming around.

[01:02:26] A little bit.

[01:02:26] Mm-hmm.

[01:02:27] Yeah.

[01:02:28] You know.

[01:02:28] One thing.

[01:02:29] Actually.

[01:02:29] Before we move on.

[01:02:30] You talking about playoffs and stuff.

[01:02:32] This week will be.

[01:02:34] Tuesday will be the first.

[01:02:37] We have rankings show.

[01:02:39] Yeah.

[01:02:39] Thank you.

[01:02:40] I was just completely blanking on what the word I was looking for.

[01:02:43] It'll be interesting just to see how people.

[01:02:46] You know.

[01:02:47] Put folks.

[01:02:49] What their.

[01:02:50] What their first original 12 will look like.

[01:02:54] Yeah.

[01:02:54] And you know.

[01:02:55] It's really interesting to see.

[01:02:56] Because it's not just.

[01:02:57] How it has been.

[01:02:59] Or the top four get in.

[01:03:00] Because we have to think about the.

[01:03:01] Five auto bids for the conference winners.

[01:03:04] Right.

[01:03:05] And then.

[01:03:06] You know.

[01:03:06] I've always said it's dumb that they even do the rankings.

[01:03:09] Because.

[01:03:10] You kind of.

[01:03:12] It's.

[01:03:12] They're.

[01:03:12] Not necessarily arbitrary.

[01:03:14] But they kind of are.

[01:03:15] Because you put a team.

[01:03:16] If there's a team in a bad spot.

[01:03:18] You know.

[01:03:19] They have to do extra work.

[01:03:20] It seems like.

[01:03:20] When it should just be.

[01:03:22] Like college basketball.

[01:03:23] Is they just have their.

[01:03:24] They just release the.

[01:03:26] The bracket.

[01:03:26] You know.

[01:03:27] And.

[01:03:27] Right.

[01:03:28] Because.

[01:03:29] Yeah.

[01:03:29] Because.

[01:03:30] You know.

[01:03:31] Yeah.

[01:03:32] I mean.

[01:03:33] It.

[01:03:33] Brings up a lot of things.

[01:03:35] Because.

[01:03:36] You know.

[01:03:37] Oh.

[01:03:37] Why were they.

[01:03:38] Two last year.

[01:03:39] Last week.

[01:03:40] And now you dropped them.

[01:03:41] Three or.

[01:03:41] You know.

[01:03:42] Four this week.

[01:03:43] Like.

[01:03:44] And I know the NCAA.

[01:03:46] The basketball.

[01:03:46] They've started doing that stuff.

[01:03:48] But it's.

[01:03:49] I don't think everybody pays attention to it.

[01:03:51] Like.

[01:03:51] You know.

[01:03:51] They have that.

[01:03:53] That bracket show.

[01:03:55] Throughout the season as well.

[01:03:56] But I don't think everybody pays attention to it.

[01:03:58] Like football.

[01:03:59] But yeah.

[01:04:00] I mean.

[01:04:00] It's tough.

[01:04:01] Because yeah.

[01:04:01] I mean.

[01:04:02] If you're kind of slighted at first.

[01:04:04] It's hard to get back into the.

[01:04:06] To the race.

[01:04:08] As we've seen at times.

[01:04:10] From teams.

[01:04:11] Um.

[01:04:12] It's also going to be interesting.

[01:04:14] You know.

[01:04:15] Just to see.

[01:04:17] What.

[01:04:17] You know.

[01:04:18] What they do with Indiana.

[01:04:19] I want to see what they do with them.

[01:04:22] I want to see what they do with these big.

[01:04:23] Big 12 guys.

[01:04:25] You know.

[01:04:25] Where they have Colorado.

[01:04:27] Where they have BYU.

[01:04:31] I know.

[01:04:32] Absolutely.

[01:04:32] Yeah.

[01:04:32] What do they do with SMU?

[01:04:34] What do they do with BYU?

[01:04:35] What do they do with Colorado?

[01:04:36] What do they do.

[01:04:38] With the Army.

[01:04:39] You know.

[01:04:40] You know.

[01:04:41] Because there's a lot of.

[01:04:43] There's a lot of good teams this year.

[01:04:45] That aren't.

[01:04:46] Big names.

[01:04:47] You know.

[01:04:48] And of course.

[01:04:51] You wonder.

[01:04:52] You know.

[01:04:53] Is a big name team.

[01:04:54] Going to get.

[01:04:55] Pulled in over.

[01:04:57] You know.

[01:04:57] SMU.

[01:04:58] Or.

[01:04:59] Or.

[01:05:00] Indiana.

[01:05:02] You know.

[01:05:02] Just because of the.

[01:05:03] The money.

[01:05:04] But you know.

[01:05:05] Same time.

[01:05:06] You know.

[01:05:06] If.

[01:05:07] Even if they do lose Ohio State.

[01:05:09] In like a close game.

[01:05:11] They went 11 and 1.

[01:05:13] There's really no way.

[01:05:14] You can keep out of Indiana.

[01:05:16] You know.

[01:05:17] With the one loss.

[01:05:18] Assuming it be.

[01:05:19] To Ohio State.

[01:05:21] I guess.

[01:05:22] Yeah.

[01:05:25] But then it'll be interesting too.

[01:05:27] Like.

[01:05:27] Let's say.

[01:05:30] Then it comes down to certain things.

[01:05:32] Like what if.

[01:05:34] You know.

[01:05:35] Let's say.

[01:05:36] And this is all.

[01:05:37] Of course.

[01:05:38] Just all what if.

[01:05:39] As of right now.

[01:05:40] But.

[01:05:41] Let's say.

[01:05:42] You know.

[01:05:44] In the Big 12.

[01:05:45] Let's say.

[01:05:46] BYU goes undefeated.

[01:05:47] All season long.

[01:05:49] Right.

[01:05:49] And then lose.

[01:05:50] Maybe like.

[01:05:51] Let's say.

[01:05:52] By three.

[01:05:53] To Colorado.

[01:05:54] In the.

[01:05:55] Big 12 title game.

[01:05:57] Like.

[01:05:57] Of course.

[01:05:58] Colorado gets out of that bid.

[01:05:59] But do you just say.

[01:06:01] That's the only team that gets in out of the Big 12.

[01:06:03] You know.

[01:06:04] That's a.

[01:06:04] That's the thing that I really want to see.

[01:06:06] You know.

[01:06:07] What.

[01:06:07] What would they do to a one loss.

[01:06:09] You know.

[01:06:10] BYU didn't run the table.

[01:06:12] But it lost in like a.

[01:06:14] Close game to like a Colorado team.

[01:06:17] What.

[01:06:18] What.

[01:06:18] You know.

[01:06:18] What would happen to them.

[01:06:20] Compared to like.

[01:06:21] You know.

[01:06:21] A one loss.

[01:06:23] Whoever may be on the.

[01:06:24] It's not in a.

[01:06:25] Not even in the championship game.

[01:06:28] And then.

[01:06:29] You know.

[01:06:30] You look at it too.

[01:06:34] Now I would think.

[01:06:36] If.

[01:06:36] Even if.

[01:06:37] But then there's other teams.

[01:06:38] You know.

[01:06:39] Like Miami.

[01:06:40] You know.

[01:06:40] If they run the table.

[01:06:41] In the regular season.

[01:06:42] And then somehow.

[01:06:43] You know.

[01:06:43] Let's say.

[01:06:44] As of me.

[01:06:44] Beat them in the.

[01:06:45] ACC championship game.

[01:06:46] I would still think that they would.

[01:06:49] Get in.

[01:06:50] Because it's Miami.

[01:06:51] But who knows.

[01:06:52] And because.

[01:06:53] Yeah.

[01:06:53] They've had a great year.

[01:06:54] But yeah.

[01:06:54] I think any bubble teams right now.

[01:06:56] Are rooting for Miami.

[01:06:57] To run the table.

[01:06:58] And then.

[01:06:58] Yeah.

[01:06:59] Win that ACC title game.

[01:07:01] Because there's a lot.

[01:07:01] Probably make the ACC.

[01:07:03] A one bid league.

[01:07:04] Yeah.

[01:07:05] Yeah.

[01:07:06] If you would think so.

[01:07:09] Because that would get SMU.

[01:07:11] If.

[01:07:12] Let's say.

[01:07:12] If it came down to them.

[01:07:13] And SMU.

[01:07:14] That would give SMU two losses.

[01:07:16] Which probably.

[01:07:17] Keeps them out.

[01:07:19] Yeah.

[01:07:20] I'm interested to see.

[01:07:21] Where the committee.

[01:07:22] Puts SMU.

[01:07:24] Yeah.

[01:07:24] Maybe more so than any other team.

[01:07:25] Because if you look at the polls.

[01:07:27] Right now.

[01:07:27] Like the AP poll.

[01:07:28] Has them 13th.

[01:07:29] The coaches.

[01:07:29] Bulls at 15th.

[01:07:30] They don't want.

[01:07:30] No love really.

[01:07:32] Yeah.

[01:07:32] Do they respect them?

[01:07:34] And you know.

[01:07:34] Speaking of that.

[01:07:35] Indiana.

[01:07:35] We talked about.

[01:07:37] Eighth in the AP poll.

[01:07:39] Man.

[01:07:39] I think.

[01:07:39] I put them ahead.

[01:07:40] They.

[01:07:40] They're behind Penn State.

[01:07:41] Which I think ridiculous.

[01:07:42] You got to put them ahead of them.

[01:07:44] Yeah.

[01:07:44] And then.

[01:07:45] They're behind Tennessee.

[01:07:46] I'd probably put Indiana.

[01:07:47] Ahead of them.

[01:07:48] Yeah.

[01:07:49] I guess.

[01:07:49] Really the only thing.

[01:07:50] You can say for Indiana.

[01:07:52] And probably SMU as well.

[01:07:53] Is both of them have had pretty soft schedules.

[01:07:57] Yeah.

[01:07:58] Yeah.

[01:07:59] Especially Indiana.

[01:08:00] Indiana's had a very soft schedule.

[01:08:02] I mean.

[01:08:03] They've done everything.

[01:08:03] They.

[01:08:04] I mean.

[01:08:05] You know.

[01:08:06] They've.

[01:08:07] Dominated.

[01:08:07] And done what they're supposed to do.

[01:08:08] Against those type of teams.

[01:08:10] But really.

[01:08:10] If you look at their schedule.

[01:08:11] That's been pretty.

[01:08:12] Yeah.

[01:08:13] Pretty questionable.

[01:08:14] Yeah.

[01:08:14] And some of the wins they've had.

[01:08:15] Like Nebraska's done them no favors.

[01:08:17] By continuing to lose.

[01:08:19] Yeah.

[01:08:20] I mean.

[01:08:21] Like you said.

[01:08:23] There's got to be something said.

[01:08:24] For the way they're winning games.

[01:08:26] Yeah.

[01:08:26] I mean.

[01:08:26] Isn't there not leave any question mark.

[01:08:29] And yesterday.

[01:08:30] I thought it was impressive.

[01:08:31] Because you don't know.

[01:08:32] You know.

[01:08:33] Going into.

[01:08:35] You know.

[01:08:36] Michigan State's not a great team.

[01:08:38] But they're not.

[01:08:39] They're scrappy.

[01:08:39] They've been scrappy at times.

[01:08:41] You know.

[01:08:43] And you know.

[01:08:44] You went into East Lansing.

[01:08:45] And you beat the shit out of them.

[01:08:47] Like that's.

[01:08:48] Something to say.

[01:08:50] I mean.

[01:08:50] That was impressive.

[01:08:53] But yeah.

[01:08:55] I think.

[01:08:56] Yeah.

[01:08:56] Indiana is everybody's worst nightmare.

[01:08:58] Because.

[01:09:00] Unless they implode.

[01:09:01] I don't see how they don't make the playoff.

[01:09:05] No.

[01:09:05] Yeah.

[01:09:09] Yeah.

[01:09:10] I think that's probably good for.

[01:09:12] Yeah.

[01:09:12] College for the week.

[01:09:14] Just real quick.

[01:09:14] NFL.

[01:09:15] Nothing huge.

[01:09:16] You know.

[01:09:16] The Ravens rebounded in a big way.

[01:09:19] Oh.

[01:09:19] Yeah.

[01:09:20] Beat the hell out of a solid Broncos team.

[01:09:23] Solid Broncos team.

[01:09:24] Yeah.

[01:09:24] Yeah.

[01:09:24] Great response to the defense.

[01:09:26] After.

[01:09:27] Last week.

[01:09:27] You know.

[01:09:28] And Jameis.

[01:09:28] Just.

[01:09:30] All over them.

[01:09:34] Really shut down Bo Nix.

[01:09:36] In that.

[01:09:37] Denver offense.

[01:09:39] Especially the second half.

[01:09:39] Derrick Henry gets his.

[01:09:40] 100th career rushing touchdown.

[01:09:42] Getting to that rare club.

[01:09:43] Of 10,000 yards.

[01:09:44] And 100 touchdowns.

[01:09:46] Again.

[01:09:47] Another 100 yards for him.

[01:09:48] He continues to.

[01:09:50] Look well on his way.

[01:09:51] To another rushing title.

[01:09:52] And also.

[01:09:54] Trying to get to.

[01:09:56] 2,000 yards.

[01:09:58] Yeah.

[01:09:58] I mean.

[01:09:59] He's at.

[01:09:59] He would have to.

[01:10:01] He's at 1,000.

[01:10:03] Yeah.

[01:10:03] 1,000 right now.

[01:10:04] And they got what.

[01:10:05] They've played.

[01:10:06] Nine games now.

[01:10:07] So he's got.

[01:10:09] Eight left.

[01:10:10] He can get 1,000 yards.

[01:10:12] In eight games.

[01:10:13] Plus the playoffs.

[01:10:15] Yeah.

[01:10:16] Mm-hmm.

[01:10:16] Yeah.

[01:10:18] But another just.

[01:10:19] Absolutely astounding.

[01:10:21] Outstanding.

[01:10:22] Lamar performance.

[01:10:24] As.

[01:10:24] As he tries to win his.

[01:10:26] Third MVP.

[01:10:27] And second in a row.

[01:10:28] He was just dropping dimes today.

[01:10:30] Man.

[01:10:31] Just.

[01:10:33] Beautiful passes.

[01:10:35] They really took over that second.

[01:10:37] And Zay Flowers.

[01:10:38] Man.

[01:10:38] That touchdown catch.

[01:10:40] Right before the end of the half.

[01:10:42] Oh.

[01:10:43] Denver had gone down.

[01:10:44] Got a field goal.

[01:10:45] Made it a touchdown game.

[01:10:46] And Lamar hit him.

[01:10:47] And there's a great screenshot.

[01:10:49] Someone had.

[01:10:50] He's got like five or six.

[01:10:52] It's him and five or six Broncos defenders in the frame.

[01:10:56] And then he gets.

[01:10:57] Makes a move.

[01:10:58] Gets a tackle.

[01:10:59] Gets to the outside.

[01:11:00] Rashad Bateman comes in.

[01:11:02] Clears out three guys with one block.

[01:11:05] And.

[01:11:05] Zay gets it.

[01:11:06] So the Ravens finally found their number one.

[01:11:09] Yeah.

[01:11:10] For sure.

[01:11:10] Um.

[01:11:12] But there was some wild.

[01:11:13] Wild endings.

[01:11:15] I was saying.

[01:11:15] Yeah.

[01:11:15] At the end.

[01:11:16] There's some wild endings.

[01:11:17] In the Jaguars.

[01:11:19] Of Eagles game.

[01:11:20] Jaguars fought all the way back.

[01:11:22] When 22 down.

[01:11:23] Made it.

[01:11:24] In there.

[01:11:26] And then.

[01:11:26] You know.

[01:11:27] Of course.

[01:11:28] Well.

[01:11:28] Speaking of great.

[01:11:29] Offseason pickups.

[01:11:31] Saquon Barkley continues.

[01:11:32] Just at that.

[01:11:33] Weird.

[01:11:34] Backwards.

[01:11:35] Hurdle.

[01:11:36] He had.

[01:11:36] Devontae Smith.

[01:11:37] Had an outstanding catch.

[01:11:39] Amazing catch.

[01:11:40] And even more so than the catch was his footwork.

[01:11:42] To stay in bounds.

[01:11:44] Yeah.

[01:11:45] Eagles.

[01:11:46] Turning it on man.

[01:11:47] Yeah.

[01:11:48] I mean.

[01:11:49] They got a little questionable.

[01:11:51] And of course.

[01:11:51] Trevor Lawrence.

[01:11:52] With the pick at the end there.

[01:11:53] I mean.

[01:11:53] That's just.

[01:11:54] Kind of.

[01:11:55] M.O.

[01:11:56] These days.

[01:11:57] But.

[01:11:57] You know.

[01:11:57] They fought back.

[01:11:58] But yeah.

[01:11:58] The Eagles.

[01:11:59] Even though they haven't looked the best of the times.

[01:12:02] Man.

[01:12:02] Only two losses on the season.

[01:12:04] So.

[01:12:05] They're.

[01:12:06] Where.

[01:12:07] Where a lot of teams would love to be right now.

[01:12:10] Yeah.

[01:12:12] That Rams.

[01:12:14] Seahawks game.

[01:12:15] And the.

[01:12:15] The second.

[01:12:16] The late window.

[01:12:17] Wild ending.

[01:12:18] Great one hand catch there.

[01:12:20] To win the game.

[01:12:21] As.

[01:12:22] Nakua.

[01:12:23] Gets ejected in the second quarter too.

[01:12:27] Nakua got ejected.

[01:12:28] But I mean.

[01:12:28] That is.

[01:12:29] You know.

[01:12:29] Fourth and.

[01:12:30] Was it fourth and one?

[01:12:32] Probably.

[01:12:32] You know.

[01:12:33] They just bowed it up.

[01:12:34] Stafford just.

[01:12:36] Bowed it up.

[01:12:38] That's a team man.

[01:12:39] They got those guys healthy now.

[01:12:41] That offense.

[01:12:42] The defense is playing a little better.

[01:12:43] You know.

[01:12:44] They're not.

[01:12:44] That defense a couple years ago.

[01:12:46] With Aaron Donald.

[01:12:47] But.

[01:12:47] But.

[01:12:49] Yeah.

[01:12:49] That's.

[01:12:50] That's a dangerous team in that.

[01:12:51] AFC.

[01:12:52] I would want.

[01:12:53] Or NFC West.

[01:12:54] Yeah.

[01:12:55] NFC West is weird.

[01:12:57] Mm-hmm.

[01:12:58] Because.

[01:13:00] You know.

[01:13:00] You.

[01:13:01] The 49ers.

[01:13:02] You just never know.

[01:13:03] I mean.

[01:13:03] They're.

[01:13:03] They're.

[01:13:04] When they're healthy.

[01:13:05] They're good.

[01:13:05] But.

[01:13:06] You know.

[01:13:06] They've been all over the place this year.

[01:13:07] They're.

[01:13:09] Good win for the Cardinals today.

[01:13:10] I mean.

[01:13:11] They're above 500 now.

[01:13:14] They got a good win there against the.

[01:13:16] The Bears.

[01:13:18] Big win for the Packers in Green Bay.

[01:13:23] Or the Lions.

[01:13:25] Sorry.

[01:13:25] The Lions.

[01:13:26] Yeah.

[01:13:26] They slaughtered Green Bay.

[01:13:28] Yeah.

[01:13:28] Yeah.

[01:13:29] It's a lot.

[01:13:30] Yeah.

[01:13:30] A lot bigger than that.

[01:13:31] 10 point margin.

[01:13:33] Yeah.

[01:13:33] I mean.

[01:13:34] They dominate.

[01:13:35] Dominant win in Green Bay.

[01:13:37] I mean.

[01:13:38] I was used there.

[01:13:39] For them.

[01:13:41] Just before.

[01:13:42] One more thing about that.

[01:13:44] There needs to be a damn.

[01:13:46] International.

[01:13:47] Council.

[01:13:51] Court hearing about.

[01:13:54] Bill O'Brien's.

[01:13:55] How he did not use.

[01:13:57] Jameer Gibbs.

[01:13:58] More at Alabama.

[01:14:00] Yeah.

[01:14:01] He should be tried for war crimes.

[01:14:04] Yeah.

[01:14:05] Oh my goodness.

[01:14:06] Every day.

[01:14:07] Every.

[01:14:07] Detroit game you watch.

[01:14:09] Jameer makes like just.

[01:14:10] Some great run.

[01:14:11] Where it looks like he's going to be bottled up.

[01:14:13] Then makes a cut or two.

[01:14:14] And just.

[01:14:15] Yeah.

[01:14:15] Hits a hole.

[01:14:16] And he's gone for 30 yards or so.

[01:14:19] Just.

[01:14:20] I'm sorry.

[01:14:21] I had to get that out.

[01:14:22] But.

[01:14:23] A great win for Detroit.

[01:14:24] Only 261 yards of total offense.

[01:14:26] And like you said.

[01:14:27] They just dominated the game.

[01:14:28] Yeah.

[01:14:29] They did.

[01:14:31] And they even lost Branch.

[01:14:33] Branch got ejected there.

[01:14:35] Mm-hmm.

[01:14:37] And still.

[01:14:38] And that was a good win.

[01:14:40] And Green Bay.

[01:14:41] Always a tough place to win.

[01:14:42] And you know.

[01:14:42] People always wonder.

[01:14:44] How the.

[01:14:44] Lions do in the weather.

[01:14:47] You know.

[01:14:47] Bad weather.

[01:14:49] Did their thing.

[01:14:50] But that whole.

[01:14:51] Man.

[01:14:52] That whole.

[01:14:53] NFC North.

[01:14:54] That's going to be a fun ending.

[01:14:56] To that division.

[01:14:57] That the rest of the season.

[01:14:58] We're seeing Minnesota.

[01:15:01] Take a.

[01:15:01] A kneel down right now.

[01:15:03] To.

[01:15:04] Seal a win for themselves.

[01:15:05] Over.

[01:15:06] Indy.

[01:15:07] Yeah.

[01:15:08] Uh.

[01:15:09] Your Cowboys.

[01:15:10] Tough one.

[01:15:12] Oh.

[01:15:12] They're terrible.

[01:15:13] Just terrible.

[01:15:15] Yeah.

[01:15:16] You know.

[01:15:17] The.

[01:15:17] The thing.

[01:15:18] Man.

[01:15:20] I mean.

[01:15:21] I didn't expect to win.

[01:15:23] Um.

[01:15:23] But.

[01:15:24] It's just the way they lose.

[01:15:25] It's just crazy.

[01:15:27] And it.

[01:15:27] You know.

[01:15:27] Dad gets hurt.

[01:15:29] But.

[01:15:30] Yeah.

[01:15:30] But I mean.

[01:15:31] Even.

[01:15:32] Whether he's healthy or not.

[01:15:33] I mean.

[01:15:34] That doesn't seem to be.

[01:15:36] Doesn't seem to be.

[01:15:38] A reason why they win or lose.

[01:15:40] I mean.

[01:15:40] They.

[01:15:40] I mean.

[01:15:41] The offense is terrible.

[01:15:43] We have no running game.

[01:15:44] No one's healthy on the defense.

[01:15:46] Like.

[01:15:46] It's just.

[01:15:47] A sad season.

[01:15:48] And of course.

[01:15:49] And Jerry's like.

[01:15:50] Oh.

[01:15:50] I might make a move.

[01:15:51] At the trade deadline.

[01:15:52] Come on Jerry.

[01:15:53] Shut up.

[01:15:54] You were all in.

[01:15:55] You were all in.

[01:15:55] In the off seasons.

[01:15:57] We saw how that went.

[01:16:00] Yeah.

[01:16:00] Uh.

[01:16:01] I might make a big move.

[01:16:03] Just wait.

[01:16:04] Come on man.

[01:16:05] The big move might need to be.

[01:16:07] Getting rid of Mike McCarthy.

[01:16:08] You know.

[01:16:09] Uh.

[01:16:10] He's the offensive coordinator.

[01:16:11] And this year has not been it at all.

[01:16:14] Mm.

[01:16:15] Now he.

[01:16:16] It's not all his fault.

[01:16:17] Because I mean.

[01:16:19] Just.

[01:16:20] Just.

[01:16:21] The whole running back room.

[01:16:22] And then the fact that.

[01:16:23] Um.

[01:16:24] You know.

[01:16:24] You bring Zeke back.

[01:16:25] And then Zeke's not even on.

[01:16:26] On the.

[01:16:28] On the.

[01:16:28] In Atlanta.

[01:16:29] Because of.

[01:16:30] Disciplinary issues.

[01:16:31] It's like.

[01:16:32] What?

[01:16:33] Is this like.

[01:16:34] College?

[01:16:35] Like what?

[01:16:37] Like.

[01:16:37] I don't know.

[01:16:38] I mean.

[01:16:39] We're getting.

[01:16:40] You know.

[01:16:40] We're getting.

[01:16:41] 12.

[01:16:42] 12 people out the huddle.

[01:16:44] Like.

[01:16:44] In the NFL.

[01:16:45] That should not be happening.

[01:16:47] Like.

[01:16:48] My goodness.

[01:16:49] Like.

[01:16:49] That should not be happening ever.

[01:16:51] There's no way in the NFL.

[01:16:53] Should there ever be 12 coming out the huddle.

[01:16:55] I'm just like.

[01:16:56] That's wild.

[01:16:57] Like.

[01:16:58] It's just a long season.

[01:17:00] That'll be the.

[01:17:02] You know.

[01:17:02] And then.

[01:17:03] We don't.

[01:17:04] We play the Eagles.

[01:17:06] Next.

[01:17:06] Week.

[01:17:07] Week.

[01:17:07] And.

[01:17:08] Yeah.

[01:17:08] That's not going to be pretty.

[01:17:12] No.

[01:17:12] What else today?

[01:17:14] The only wins we have on.

[01:17:15] The only things that I can count on is.

[01:17:18] We should be able to beat the.

[01:17:19] The Panthers.

[01:17:20] Hopefully.

[01:17:21] Even though they did.

[01:17:22] Beat the Saints today.

[01:17:23] And.

[01:17:24] Hopefully we'll beat the Giants on Thanksgiving.

[01:17:26] Outside of that.

[01:17:27] I.

[01:17:27] I don't think we have any other wins on the schedule.

[01:17:31] Tough.

[01:17:32] But yeah.

[01:17:33] You mentioned some late.

[01:17:34] A good late finishes.

[01:17:35] The Bills.

[01:17:36] A game win.

[01:17:37] A 61 yard field goal.

[01:17:39] By Tyler Bass.

[01:17:43] The big win for them.

[01:17:44] To keep.

[01:17:46] Keep well ahead.

[01:17:47] In the AFC East.

[01:17:49] AFC East.

[01:17:50] Yeah.

[01:17:51] We had a good.

[01:17:51] We had a good day though.

[01:17:54] Mm-hmm.

[01:17:54] Yeah.

[01:17:54] Two would look good.

[01:17:55] You know.

[01:17:56] That.

[01:17:56] That Dolphins offense.

[01:17:57] Might be coming around.

[01:17:58] But it's going to take a lot.

[01:17:59] For them to.

[01:18:01] Make a.

[01:18:02] A late season run here.

[01:18:04] Uh.

[01:18:04] Uh.

[01:18:05] Bengals got a good win for them.

[01:18:07] Over the Raiders.

[01:18:08] As they try to.

[01:18:09] Keep in that wild card race.

[01:18:11] Yeah.

[01:18:11] Uh.

[01:18:13] The magic.

[01:18:14] Uh.

[01:18:14] Was gone for Cleveland today.

[01:18:15] As the Chargers.

[01:18:16] Really dominated that game.

[01:18:18] Yeah.

[01:18:20] Uh.

[01:18:20] Titans got a.

[01:18:21] A good late win.

[01:18:22] In overtime.

[01:18:24] Drake made it a great.

[01:18:25] Great play.

[01:18:26] To force overtime.

[01:18:27] You know.

[01:18:27] Kind of did a little Lamar.

[01:18:29] Impression.

[01:18:29] Scrambled around.

[01:18:30] Got out of a sack.

[01:18:31] Then threw a bad pick.

[01:18:33] Yeah.

[01:18:33] In overtime.

[01:18:35] Yeah.

[01:18:36] Uh.

[01:18:36] Commanders.

[01:18:37] Uh.

[01:18:38] Uh.

[01:18:39] Got a little dicey.

[01:18:40] At the end there.

[01:18:40] But they got the win.

[01:18:41] Against the Giants.

[01:18:44] Um.

[01:18:45] You mentioned Panthers.

[01:18:46] Bryce Young.

[01:18:46] Got a win.

[01:18:46] It's good for Bryce.

[01:18:49] Um.

[01:18:49] Man.

[01:18:50] Saints.

[01:18:51] You know.

[01:18:51] They didn't.

[01:18:52] Is out.

[01:18:52] And he.

[01:18:53] Does he have any more weeks.

[01:18:55] In love.

[01:18:56] I know he's the most.

[01:18:57] In the matter.

[01:18:58] The ones.

[01:18:58] I about to say.

[01:18:59] I'll tell you that much.

[01:19:00] I know.

[01:19:01] All my Saints fan friends.

[01:19:03] He is not.

[01:19:04] No.

[01:19:04] He's not.

[01:19:05] They want him.

[01:19:06] And Carr.

[01:19:06] Gone.

[01:19:08] Yeah.

[01:19:08] Yeah.

[01:19:09] Derek Carr.

[01:19:10] Is not a very white man.

[01:19:11] In New Orleans.

[01:19:12] At all.

[01:19:13] How that team.

[01:19:15] Just didn't.

[01:19:15] Keep.

[01:19:16] Jameis around.

[01:19:18] Man.

[01:19:18] After a 2-0 start.

[01:19:20] And looking great.

[01:19:21] In those two.

[01:19:21] They scored over 40 points.

[01:19:22] In those two games.

[01:19:24] And.

[01:19:24] Yep.

[01:19:25] Ugh.

[01:19:25] It's been rough since then.

[01:19:27] And it's not going to get easier.

[01:19:29] You know.

[01:19:29] No.

[01:19:30] It's not.

[01:19:32] But yeah.

[01:19:33] Then.

[01:19:33] I guess the other one.

[01:19:34] The Jets got there.

[01:19:36] Finally got a win.

[01:19:37] Thursday night.

[01:19:38] Over the Texans.

[01:19:39] Surprisingly.

[01:19:40] Big one.

[01:19:41] Garrett Wilson made that just amazing catch.

[01:19:43] Amazing.

[01:19:44] Man.

[01:19:45] Wow.

[01:19:46] It's an epic catch.

[01:19:48] But yeah.

[01:19:48] Where did that come from?

[01:19:49] Like.

[01:19:50] They dominated the Texans.

[01:19:51] It's like.

[01:19:52] What?

[01:19:53] Mm-hmm.

[01:19:54] So weird.

[01:19:54] Second half domination too.

[01:19:56] Yeah.

[01:19:56] Um.

[01:19:57] And then.

[01:19:58] Bucks and Chiefs.

[01:19:59] Monday night.

[01:20:00] Should be interested in one.

[01:20:02] Chiefs try to stay.

[01:20:02] Are they healthy for the Bucks?

[01:20:05] Yeah.

[01:20:05] That's true.

[01:20:06] I don't think Mike Evans is going to be there.

[01:20:08] Uh.

[01:20:09] I don't know who Baker's throwing to.

[01:20:11] But.

[01:20:13] What's the name's out for the year?

[01:20:15] About.

[01:20:15] Yeah.

[01:20:16] I got one.

[01:20:17] Yeah.

[01:20:17] With that dislocated ankle.

[01:20:18] He was having a hell of a season too.

[01:20:20] Mm-hmm.

[01:20:21] Yeah.

[01:20:21] He was having a good bounce back season after a couple injuries.

[01:20:24] But.

[01:20:25] Uh.

[01:20:25] Next week.

[01:20:26] Some big ones.

[01:20:27] Bengals and Ravens on Thursday night.

[01:20:29] Uh.

[01:20:29] They tried to match that classic they played a couple weeks ago.

[01:20:34] Uh.

[01:20:35] You got.

[01:20:38] So Broncos and Chiefs.

[01:20:40] Uh.

[01:20:41] Could be interesting.

[01:20:42] Uh.

[01:20:43] The 49ers and Bucks.

[01:20:44] You will see how that goes.

[01:20:45] Steelers and Commanders.

[01:20:46] A big one.

[01:20:47] Next Sunday.

[01:20:48] Oh.

[01:20:49] That was.

[01:20:50] Yeah.

[01:20:51] You mentioned your Eagles and Cowboys.

[01:20:53] Uh.

[01:20:54] Lions and Texans.

[01:20:55] Next Sunday night.

[01:20:57] Mm.

[01:20:57] Like.

[01:20:58] Um.

[01:20:59] And then.

[01:21:00] Uh.

[01:21:00] The resurgent Rams host the Dolphins.

[01:21:02] Who try to.

[01:21:04] Salvage their season.

[01:21:05] Uh.

[01:21:06] Next Monday.

[01:21:06] Really?

[01:21:06] The Dolphins should have won.

[01:21:08] In the last two weeks.

[01:21:09] They.

[01:21:10] Probably should have beat the Bills.

[01:21:13] Um.

[01:21:13] And then.

[01:21:13] A heck of a comeback.

[01:21:15] They definitely should have won last week.

[01:21:17] Yeah.

[01:21:18] And they're.

[01:21:18] And that was the worry about them before the season.

[01:21:21] Is that their defense.

[01:21:22] Might have fallen off too much.

[01:21:23] And I think that's probably.

[01:21:26] Uh.

[01:21:28] That's probably.

[01:21:29] What it is right there.

[01:21:31] No.

[01:21:31] But what do you.

[01:21:32] Well.

[01:21:32] I mean.

[01:21:32] What do you do as the.

[01:21:37] As the Dolphins.

[01:21:38] Um.

[01:21:39] You know.

[01:21:39] In their future.

[01:21:40] What.

[01:21:40] What do you do?

[01:21:42] I mean.

[01:21:43] Is.

[01:21:43] Do you have the right.

[01:21:44] Do they.

[01:21:45] Do they feel they have the right coach?

[01:21:47] I don't know.

[01:21:49] I.

[01:21:49] I don't know.

[01:21:49] I think offensively.

[01:21:51] You know.

[01:21:51] He's.

[01:21:51] You know.

[01:21:51] Now with two a back.

[01:21:52] And getting healthier.

[01:21:53] I think that.

[01:21:54] Offense is turning around.

[01:21:56] Yeah.

[01:21:57] I think that roster.

[01:21:58] Yeah.

[01:21:58] I think it's a roster building thing.

[01:21:59] I need to.

[01:22:00] I think they need to rebuild that.

[01:22:02] Defensive side of the ball there.

[01:22:03] But they spend so much.

[01:22:05] You know.

[01:22:05] And the thing is.

[01:22:07] There's.

[01:22:07] No matter what.

[01:22:08] They're stuck with.

[01:22:09] Uh.

[01:22:10] Tua.

[01:22:11] I mean.

[01:22:12] Whether they have the injury.

[01:22:13] You know.

[01:22:15] You know.

[01:22:15] I mean.

[01:22:15] They gave them all that money.

[01:22:17] They spent all that money on the offense.

[01:22:19] And you know.

[01:22:19] It just hasn't.

[01:22:22] Looked as good as what you would expect it to look.

[01:22:24] And that was even a shocker.

[01:22:26] We had talked about it.

[01:22:26] Just how bad they look without Tua.

[01:22:28] Like.

[01:22:29] I understand.

[01:22:29] It should be a little.

[01:22:30] Step back.

[01:22:31] But man.

[01:22:31] With all that talent.

[01:22:32] For it to be that bad.

[01:22:34] When he was gone.

[01:22:35] Just.

[01:22:35] Didn't.

[01:22:36] Didn't make any sense.

[01:22:37] Mm-mm.

[01:22:39] Um.

[01:22:41] But yeah.

[01:22:42] Uh.

[01:22:43] Moving on.

[01:22:44] Uh.

[01:22:45] Let's see what else happened this week.

[01:22:46] In the world of sports.

[01:22:47] Uh.

[01:22:47] The Dodgers did finish off.

[01:22:49] Your Yanks.

[01:22:50] In the World Series.

[01:22:51] Freddie Freeman.

[01:22:52] A very.

[01:22:53] Well-deserved.

[01:22:54] Yeah.

[01:22:54] World Series MVP.

[01:22:56] Or what's up job?

[01:22:57] Oh.

[01:22:58] Yeah.

[01:22:58] That.

[01:22:59] That ending though.

[01:23:00] That was.

[01:23:01] That fifth inning.

[01:23:01] It was brutal.

[01:23:03] Absolutely brutal.

[01:23:04] I hadn't watched that game at all.

[01:23:06] And I just.

[01:23:06] I think me and Walker.

[01:23:07] About to sit down.

[01:23:08] And watch something else.

[01:23:08] I was like.

[01:23:09] Hey.

[01:23:09] Let me just check score of this game real quick.

[01:23:11] And I put it on.

[01:23:12] I'm like.

[01:23:12] Oh.

[01:23:12] Looks like the Yanks are going to.

[01:23:14] Force it back to LA.

[01:23:15] And then just watched it.

[01:23:17] Unraveled.

[01:23:18] Oh my goodness.

[01:23:19] That fifth inning was so ridiculous.

[01:23:22] And then Gary Colton.

[01:23:23] Going for the two.

[01:23:25] Two outs.

[01:23:26] Looking.

[01:23:26] He was dealing.

[01:23:27] Everything looked beautiful.

[01:23:29] Then everything just fell apart.

[01:23:31] Everything.

[01:23:32] Just.

[01:23:32] And dumb mistakes too.

[01:23:34] You know.

[01:23:34] The judge dropped the ball.

[01:23:36] The.

[01:23:36] Garrett Cole not covering first base.

[01:23:38] On that grounder.

[01:23:39] Yeah.

[01:23:40] Oh.

[01:23:41] And then you know.

[01:23:42] Freddie Freeman gets that clutch hit.

[01:23:44] Yeah.

[01:23:46] It's.

[01:23:47] And the crazy thing has been.

[01:23:48] Like the second or third inning.

[01:23:50] Aaron Judge on the wall.

[01:23:51] I had.

[01:23:51] It's just an epic catch.

[01:23:52] It's like.

[01:23:53] But then he drops the easy one.

[01:23:57] Yeah.

[01:23:57] It's.

[01:23:58] It's.

[01:23:58] It was just.

[01:23:59] Yeah.

[01:23:59] It's tough.

[01:24:00] So what.

[01:24:02] What do they have to do to get back.

[01:24:04] Get the crown back.

[01:24:05] Is that.

[01:24:06] You know.

[01:24:07] Is this an Aaron Boone thing.

[01:24:09] Is it just a.

[01:24:10] A mind thing.

[01:24:11] Is it.

[01:24:11] You know.

[01:24:12] I think obviously it starts with.

[01:24:13] They absolutely have to.

[01:24:15] Re-sign Soto.

[01:24:16] Right.

[01:24:16] They can't let him go somewhere else.

[01:24:18] Um.

[01:24:19] Yeah.

[01:24:19] But everybody's going to be in that.

[01:24:21] Man.

[01:24:22] It's going to be so.

[01:24:23] It's going to.

[01:24:23] It might be tough.

[01:24:24] And he didn't really give a.

[01:24:25] A good.

[01:24:26] You know.

[01:24:27] Answer.

[01:24:28] You feel confident about it.

[01:24:29] He said.

[01:24:29] Well.

[01:24:29] I'm going to give everybody a shot.

[01:24:31] Pretty much.

[01:24:32] So it's like.

[01:24:33] Damn.

[01:24:33] Everybody's going to throw him some money.

[01:24:35] You know.

[01:24:37] I don't know if we keep him or not.

[01:24:39] But.

[01:24:39] You know.

[01:24:40] That should have been something.

[01:24:41] That should have been locked up.

[01:24:42] Well ahead of this.

[01:24:43] Because now.

[01:24:45] I mean.

[01:24:46] Yeah.

[01:24:47] You know.

[01:24:47] You're not getting him for less than.

[01:24:49] Six.

[01:24:49] Fifty.

[01:24:49] Seven.

[01:24:50] Fifty.

[01:24:51] Yeah.

[01:24:52] It's going to be an expensive deal.

[01:24:53] That's for sure.

[01:24:54] Yeah.

[01:24:54] It's expensive no matter what.

[01:24:56] And just what he did in the playoffs.

[01:24:58] I mean.

[01:24:58] The money just.

[01:25:00] Just.

[01:25:01] Ballooned.

[01:25:02] I mean.

[01:25:03] I mean.

[01:25:05] It's going.

[01:25:06] Man.

[01:25:07] Eventually.

[01:25:08] There's going to be a billion dollar contract.

[01:25:10] And Soto might get one of those eventually.

[01:25:12] Just because.

[01:25:14] What he did was crazy.

[01:25:16] But.

[01:25:17] But.

[01:25:18] You know.

[01:25:18] The other thing with the offseason for the Yankees.

[01:25:20] Is just going to be.

[01:25:21] You know.

[01:25:22] What.

[01:25:23] What do you do with Aaron Boone.

[01:25:24] You know.

[01:25:25] He had some questionable stuff he did.

[01:25:27] At times.

[01:25:28] You know.

[01:25:29] Just with his.

[01:25:31] But.

[01:25:32] My biggest thing is.

[01:25:33] Man.

[01:25:34] Cashman.

[01:25:35] I don't know how he keeps his job.

[01:25:37] But.

[01:25:39] I don't know.

[01:25:40] Should be a.

[01:25:42] A fun.

[01:25:43] Free agent.

[01:25:44] Oh.

[01:25:46] It's going to be a lot of big names out there.

[01:25:48] Yeah.

[01:25:49] The.

[01:25:50] Bray's already made a deal.

[01:25:52] They made a.

[01:25:52] A small deal.

[01:25:53] They traded away Jorge Soler.

[01:25:55] For a.

[01:25:56] A pitcher from the Angels.

[01:25:57] Who.

[01:25:58] Might.

[01:25:58] Could be like a back end.

[01:25:59] Of the rotation starter.

[01:26:01] But I think it's more.

[01:26:01] They just got rid of that.

[01:26:03] Soler's contract.

[01:26:04] You know.

[01:26:04] He was just kind of a plug in.

[01:26:06] To try to fill in for Ronald Acuna.

[01:26:08] Right.

[01:26:08] Um.

[01:26:10] They didn't quite relive the magic.

[01:26:11] A couple of.

[01:26:12] Seasons ago.

[01:26:13] When he was their.

[01:26:13] World Series MVP.

[01:26:14] But you know.

[01:26:15] He would have cost.

[01:26:16] 16 mil.

[01:26:16] For the next couple of seasons.

[01:26:18] So that's a.

[01:26:19] A good salary dump there.

[01:26:21] Right.

[01:26:22] Because yeah.

[01:26:22] I mean.

[01:26:22] The dude's stats aren't amazing.

[01:26:25] But.

[01:26:26] You know.

[01:26:26] Also.

[01:26:27] You look where he was at too.

[01:26:29] And that plays into it.

[01:26:30] A little bit.

[01:26:31] So we'll see.

[01:26:34] Uh.

[01:26:34] Yeah.

[01:26:34] And then.

[01:26:35] Uh.

[01:26:35] You know.

[01:26:36] NBA season rolling along.

[01:26:39] Nothing huge.

[01:26:40] Um.

[01:26:41] You know.

[01:26:41] Kind of just some.

[01:26:43] Go ahead.

[01:26:44] I'm not just saying.

[01:26:45] Some of these teams.

[01:26:46] That are struggling out the gate.

[01:26:48] Like the Bucs.

[01:26:48] I mean.

[01:26:49] They're.

[01:26:49] They're struggling bad.

[01:26:52] Um.

[01:26:52] It's um.

[01:26:54] Very uh.

[01:26:55] Low rumblings.

[01:26:56] About maybe a.

[01:26:57] Giannis.

[01:26:58] Some trade rumblings there.

[01:27:00] So uh.

[01:27:01] We'll see how.

[01:27:03] Yeah.

[01:27:03] They'll see how their season.

[01:27:05] Turns around.

[01:27:06] You got.

[01:27:06] Uh.

[01:27:07] Kind of a weird.

[01:27:08] Yeah.

[01:27:10] Getting into it with a columnist.

[01:27:12] Uh.

[01:27:12] You know.

[01:27:13] Had referenced his son.

[01:27:14] And his.

[01:27:14] His late brother.

[01:27:16] Nice.

[01:27:17] It does look like Paul George.

[01:27:19] Will make his Sixers debut.

[01:27:20] Monday.

[01:27:22] Yeah.

[01:27:23] Um.

[01:27:24] You know.

[01:27:24] And other than that.

[01:27:25] It's kind of like some injuries.

[01:27:26] You know.

[01:27:27] Uh.

[01:27:27] You know.

[01:27:28] With Seth Curry.

[01:27:29] Obviously.

[01:27:29] We talked about the Pelicans injuries.

[01:27:31] Last week.

[01:27:33] De'Aaron Fox.

[01:27:34] Has an injury on the show.

[01:27:35] Shooting hand.

[01:27:36] Yeah.

[01:27:37] Out there for the Kings.

[01:27:42] I think.

[01:27:42] And uh.

[01:27:42] Happy news.

[01:27:43] Uh.

[01:27:44] The Raptors will retire their first ever jersey in franchise history.

[01:27:48] Uh.

[01:27:49] Vince Carter.

[01:27:50] It was retired.

[01:27:51] I should say.

[01:27:53] Um.

[01:27:54] Vince Carter's 15.

[01:27:55] Retired by Toronto.

[01:27:56] Well deserved.

[01:27:58] Um.

[01:28:00] But yeah.

[01:28:01] You know.

[01:28:01] Just early season stuff going on.

[01:28:03] Like you said.

[01:28:04] Some struggles with some teams.

[01:28:06] But it's early yet.

[01:28:07] Long.

[01:28:07] Long season.

[01:28:09] Um.

[01:28:10] Well.

[01:28:10] You know.

[01:28:11] Uh.

[01:28:11] We should mention too.

[01:28:12] Great.

[01:28:13] The Cavs.

[01:28:14] Man.

[01:28:14] 7-0 start.

[01:28:16] 7-0.

[01:28:17] Yeah.

[01:28:18] I mean.

[01:28:19] You know.

[01:28:19] We had questioned.

[01:28:20] You know.

[01:28:20] Why they fired their coach.

[01:28:21] And everything.

[01:28:22] But you know.

[01:28:22] It's worked out so far.

[01:28:24] This year.

[01:28:25] It'll be interesting to see.

[01:28:26] You know.

[01:28:26] What they.

[01:28:27] How they look.

[01:28:29] But yeah.

[01:28:30] It's a long.

[01:28:30] You know.

[01:28:30] It's just a long.

[01:28:32] Long season there.

[01:28:33] But.

[01:28:34] I think the biggest thing.

[01:28:36] Just starting off.

[01:28:36] With just how bad.

[01:28:37] That the.

[01:28:39] How bad the Bucks.

[01:28:40] Have looked so far.

[01:28:41] This year.

[01:28:42] It's crazy.

[01:28:44] Yeah.

[01:28:45] They have not looked good.

[01:28:46] At all.

[01:28:46] It's a.

[01:28:47] Worrisome.

[01:28:48] If you're a Milwaukee fan.

[01:28:49] Right now.

[01:28:50] Yeah.

[01:28:50] For sure.

[01:28:51] Because they are.

[01:28:52] One in five.

[01:28:53] And.

[01:28:54] You know.

[01:28:55] Getting blown out.

[01:28:56] Yeah.

[01:28:57] They just haven't looked good.

[01:28:59] At all.

[01:28:59] I think another surprise too.

[01:29:00] Utah at 0-6.

[01:29:01] I thought they'd be.

[01:29:02] A little more competitive.

[01:29:03] Right.

[01:29:04] Than that.

[01:29:05] But you wonder if.

[01:29:07] Are they in the Cooper flag.

[01:29:08] Sweepstakes.

[01:29:09] Do they make some trades.

[01:29:10] Did they finally trade.

[01:29:12] Laurie Markkinen.

[01:29:13] At some point.

[01:29:14] You know.

[01:29:17] Oh.

[01:29:17] And then a tough.

[01:29:19] Tough.

[01:29:20] Break for the magic.

[01:29:22] Losing.

[01:29:25] Pablo.

[01:29:26] Yeah.

[01:29:27] Pablo.

[01:29:29] Is he out for the year.

[01:29:30] Was that it.

[01:29:30] Or now is it just.

[01:29:31] I don't think he's out for the year.

[01:29:32] But I think it's.

[01:29:35] It's fun to learn.

[01:29:36] A significant amount of time.

[01:29:37] Yeah.

[01:29:37] Yeah.

[01:29:38] A significant amount of time.

[01:29:42] Real unfortunate for them.

[01:29:44] It was.

[01:29:45] We killed him today.

[01:29:46] Yeah.

[01:29:47] He's going to.

[01:29:47] He's going to travel with the team.

[01:29:49] So.

[01:29:49] All right.

[01:29:51] So hopefully it's not that bad.

[01:29:53] Mm-hmm.

[01:29:55] Torn right oblique.

[01:29:56] That's the injury I was looking for.

[01:29:57] So that.

[01:29:58] Yeah.

[01:29:58] It could be a good few.

[01:29:59] Probably like a.

[01:30:00] Four to six weeker at least.

[01:30:04] You said the Mavericks beat him today.

[01:30:06] I don't know.

[01:30:06] Yeah.

[01:30:07] We were probably 20.

[01:30:08] 24 or something.

[01:30:10] Luca.

[01:30:10] Luca still getting into.

[01:30:12] Back into it a little bit.

[01:30:13] You know.

[01:30:14] He had a.

[01:30:15] Long.

[01:30:16] Long.

[01:30:17] So.

[01:30:18] You know.

[01:30:19] And he went healthy at the end.

[01:30:20] So.

[01:30:20] He's just getting back into it.

[01:30:22] Had a good game today.

[01:30:23] Which is good to see.

[01:30:24] Uh.

[01:30:26] Yeah.

[01:30:26] Um.

[01:30:28] Other than that though.

[01:30:30] Yeah.

[01:30:30] Like I said.

[01:30:31] Early season.

[01:30:32] Um.

[01:30:34] NHL season isn't.

[01:30:35] Going or kicking off soon.

[01:30:37] Uh.

[01:30:38] Or kicked off this week.

[01:30:39] I'm honestly not sure.

[01:30:40] Yeah.

[01:30:41] It's been going on for.

[01:30:42] A couple.

[01:30:43] A couple weeks.

[01:30:44] It's the same.

[01:30:45] Yeah.

[01:30:45] It's a.

[01:30:45] Okay.

[01:30:46] Yeah.

[01:30:46] They played.

[01:30:48] Yeah.

[01:30:48] 13.

[01:30:50] Most.

[01:30:52] 12.

[01:30:52] 13 games.

[01:30:53] So.

[01:30:53] Yeah.

[01:30:54] It's been going on for a little bit.

[01:30:55] It shows you how much I pay attention.

[01:30:58] Yeah.

[01:30:59] Until the playoffs.

[01:31:00] They're just in a tough.

[01:31:00] They're just in a tough.

[01:31:02] Tough situation.

[01:31:03] I mean.

[01:31:03] They don't.

[01:31:04] They don't.

[01:31:05] They don't really stand out.

[01:31:06] And.

[01:31:07] Outside your hardcore.

[01:31:09] Hockey fans.

[01:31:10] There's really not a.

[01:31:10] I guess.

[01:31:11] Until playoffs.

[01:31:12] There's really not any casual.

[01:31:14] Hockey fans.

[01:31:15] Really.

[01:31:17] It's tough too.

[01:31:19] You know.

[01:31:20] Then.

[01:31:20] Yeah.

[01:31:20] You got.

[01:31:21] It looks like.

[01:31:22] Soccer wise.

[01:31:23] You know.

[01:31:24] Seasons going on.

[01:31:26] College basketball.

[01:31:27] Manchester City.

[01:31:28] Yeah.

[01:31:28] College basketball.

[01:31:29] That's one thing.

[01:31:29] It was in my notes.

[01:31:30] I wanted to hit on.

[01:31:32] Yeah.

[01:31:33] The.

[01:31:34] Season starts.

[01:31:36] Big expectations here.

[01:31:37] For our tide.

[01:31:39] Man.

[01:31:40] As we said.

[01:31:41] Most.

[01:31:42] Definitely got to be the most talented roster.

[01:31:46] In school history.

[01:31:50] Yeah.

[01:31:50] Let's.

[01:31:52] Let's get to it man.

[01:31:53] It's exciting.

[01:31:55] We got a hell of a.

[01:31:56] Hell of a.

[01:31:58] Of November.

[01:32:00] You know.

[01:32:00] At the end of the month there.

[01:32:01] I mean.

[01:32:01] We play.

[01:32:02] Illinois.

[01:32:03] Houston.

[01:32:06] Rutgers.

[01:32:07] Purdue.

[01:32:09] And then.

[01:32:10] In December.

[01:32:11] We have.

[01:32:12] North Carolina.

[01:32:13] Creighton.

[01:32:14] So.

[01:32:14] I mean.

[01:32:15] Another.

[01:32:16] Another big.

[01:32:20] Non-conference.

[01:32:21] Schedule.

[01:32:22] I think this year.

[01:32:23] We're going to get a couple of those wins.

[01:32:25] That we didn't see last year.

[01:32:27] Yeah.

[01:32:27] And we saw the benefits.

[01:32:29] It's reaped.

[01:32:29] You know.

[01:32:30] Especially last season.

[01:32:31] With those tough games.

[01:32:32] We saw.

[01:32:33] Yeah.

[01:32:33] But it kicks off.

[01:32:34] Yeah.

[01:32:35] Like I said.

[01:32:35] Monday night.

[01:32:36] 8 p.m.

[01:32:37] Like ESPNU.

[01:32:38] Against UNC Asheville.

[01:32:39] Absolutely.

[01:32:42] So yeah.

[01:32:42] We'll see.

[01:32:44] Yeah.

[01:32:44] You know.

[01:32:45] You just like to.

[01:32:46] One a minute.

[01:32:47] See how folks.

[01:32:48] You know.

[01:32:48] The new guys.

[01:32:49] With the old guys.

[01:32:50] How they all gel.

[01:32:51] I mean.

[01:32:52] Obviously.

[01:32:52] They.

[01:32:53] Look good in the.

[01:32:55] Two.

[01:32:55] Look pretty good in the two.

[01:32:58] Pre.

[01:33:00] Preseason games.

[01:33:01] They're against.

[01:33:01] Awake.

[01:33:02] And Memphis.

[01:33:03] But.

[01:33:04] You know.

[01:33:04] Of course.

[01:33:04] Those were practice games.

[01:33:06] So.

[01:33:06] You know.

[01:33:07] Who knows.

[01:33:09] With those.

[01:33:10] But.

[01:33:10] You know.

[01:33:10] Look good.

[01:33:11] Got two wins there.

[01:33:12] Against.

[01:33:13] Two teams.

[01:33:13] Very well.

[01:33:14] Could be.

[01:33:14] Tournament teams.

[01:33:16] So.

[01:33:16] You know.

[01:33:17] Yeah.

[01:33:18] And let's see how they handle the hype.

[01:33:20] You know.

[01:33:20] They've never had this kind of hype before.

[01:33:22] So.

[01:33:22] Never before.

[01:33:24] Let's see.

[01:33:25] This talented roster.

[01:33:26] With the transfers.

[01:33:27] And the newcomers.

[01:33:27] I think.

[01:33:28] I think they'll be okay.

[01:33:30] Because.

[01:33:30] I mean.

[01:33:31] Just because.

[01:33:31] The.

[01:33:32] You know.

[01:33:33] The.

[01:33:33] You know.

[01:33:34] I think Sears.

[01:33:35] Became a hell of a leader.

[01:33:37] Last year.

[01:33:38] I think he'll be better this year.

[01:33:42] Um.

[01:33:43] And I think.

[01:33:44] Also.

[01:33:44] This year.

[01:33:45] The benefit too.

[01:33:46] Is.

[01:33:46] I think.

[01:33:47] Grant Nelson.

[01:33:48] I know he's a little banged up.

[01:33:50] But I think.

[01:33:53] He.

[01:33:54] Has a better idea of how they.

[01:33:56] How.

[01:33:58] Much more physical the SEC was.

[01:34:01] You know.

[01:34:02] He figured out his game.

[01:34:03] Yeah.

[01:34:03] Yeah.

[01:34:04] He really figured out his game.

[01:34:05] In the tournament.

[01:34:06] Especially.

[01:34:07] Yeah.

[01:34:07] The big game against.

[01:34:09] Right.

[01:34:10] UNC.

[01:34:11] And you know.

[01:34:11] He really didn't.

[01:34:13] Yeah.

[01:34:13] Didn't back down against UConn.

[01:34:15] Yeah.

[01:34:16] And now.

[01:34:16] You know.

[01:34:17] With Big Clifford.

[01:34:17] Uh.

[01:34:18] Umarui.

[01:34:19] Uh.

[01:34:20] Transhern and.

[01:34:20] To be that rim protector behind him.

[01:34:22] He can.

[01:34:22] That's huge.

[01:34:23] He can.

[01:34:23] He can get into his space a little bit more.

[01:34:26] And he can play his game.

[01:34:27] Yeah.

[01:34:28] Because he.

[01:34:28] I think that's.

[01:34:29] He got put into some tough situation last year.

[01:34:31] Where he was expected to be the.

[01:34:33] The.

[01:34:34] The big dog on defense.

[01:34:36] And that's just not his.

[01:34:37] Game really.

[01:34:38] So yeah.

[01:34:38] Having Cliff.

[01:34:39] Really helps out.

[01:34:40] Because he's like a walking double double.

[01:34:43] For four blocks.

[01:34:45] So.

[01:34:45] That's huge for.

[01:34:47] Huge.

[01:34:48] Uh.

[01:34:49] Guy to have there.

[01:34:50] But he's also the athletic big guy.

[01:34:53] So I mean.

[01:34:53] That was the thing too.

[01:34:54] You know.

[01:34:55] Just with our style.

[01:34:57] But we got the right type of big guy.

[01:34:59] Um.

[01:35:00] Because he's a.

[01:35:01] He.

[01:35:02] He's very athletic.

[01:35:03] So that's.

[01:35:04] You know.

[01:35:05] Um.

[01:35:07] Yeah.

[01:35:08] It's going to be exciting.

[01:35:09] I mean.

[01:35:09] I think that this.

[01:35:10] This team.

[01:35:12] You know.

[01:35:13] Sky.

[01:35:13] Sky is definitely the limit.

[01:35:15] Um.

[01:35:15] Obviously.

[01:35:16] You know.

[01:35:16] Big expectations.

[01:35:18] But I think they're going to.

[01:35:19] You know.

[01:35:19] I don't know if we make a final four again or not.

[01:35:21] But I think.

[01:35:22] You know.

[01:35:22] We're going to be right.

[01:35:24] You know.

[01:35:24] I don't think we're going to go limping into the tournament.

[01:35:26] Like we did last year either.

[01:35:29] No.

[01:35:29] Yeah.

[01:35:29] Um.

[01:35:30] It's tough to make back to back final fours.

[01:35:32] But you know.

[01:35:33] With this roster and expectations are there.

[01:35:35] And.

[01:35:36] Uh.

[01:35:37] You know.

[01:35:37] Lord willing.

[01:35:38] We're back in.

[01:35:40] I don't know if we're final fours this year.

[01:35:42] Yeah.

[01:35:43] I mean.

[01:35:43] The main thing you hope for is that everybody stays healthy more than anything.

[01:35:47] Because of course.

[01:35:47] I have control over the season more than anything.

[01:35:49] So.

[01:35:50] Folks stay healthy.

[01:35:51] I think.

[01:35:52] You know.

[01:35:55] I don't see anything less than at least the second weekend.

[01:35:58] Just because.

[01:36:00] Oh.

[01:36:00] Yeah.

[01:36:01] As we mentioned.

[01:36:02] That's.

[01:36:03] That's the expectation now.

[01:36:04] That's what.

[01:36:05] That should be the expectation.

[01:36:06] Yeah.

[01:36:07] Anything.

[01:36:09] And.

[01:36:10] Really.

[01:36:10] I mean.

[01:36:11] Sweet 16 should be a.

[01:36:13] Almost.

[01:36:14] Something you learn.

[01:36:15] At some point.

[01:36:16] We're going to be like.

[01:36:16] Oh.

[01:36:17] Okay.

[01:36:17] Cool.

[01:36:18] You know.

[01:36:18] It's not.

[01:36:19] Something at all.

[01:36:19] Yeah.

[01:36:20] Sweet 16.

[01:36:22] You know.

[01:36:22] We still get pretty excited about Sweet 16.

[01:36:25] You know.

[01:36:25] Eventually.

[01:36:26] Hopefully.

[01:36:26] We'll get to where.

[01:36:27] You know.

[01:36:28] Treated like Duke.

[01:36:29] And Carolina.

[01:36:30] And Kentucky.

[01:36:31] You know.

[01:36:32] We'll never quite get to that level.

[01:36:33] But.

[01:36:34] You know.

[01:36:34] We're in the Sweet 16.

[01:36:35] It's just.

[01:36:36] Yeah.

[01:36:36] Of course.

[01:36:37] Of course.

[01:36:38] We're in the Sweet 16.

[01:36:39] You know.

[01:36:42] Yeah.

[01:36:43] San Antonio.

[01:36:44] That is where the.

[01:36:45] Final four is this year.

[01:36:47] Real quick.

[01:36:48] Just about that.

[01:36:49] Before we end up here.

[01:36:51] The Twitter account.

[01:36:53] I believe it's called Alabama Hoops History.

[01:36:55] Or Alabama Basketball History.

[01:36:56] Did a countdown.

[01:36:58] Of the top.

[01:36:58] Like 20.

[01:36:59] 25 Alabama players.

[01:37:01] In school history.

[01:37:02] Number one was Brandon Miller.

[01:37:05] Agree.

[01:37:05] Or disagree.

[01:37:05] Agree.

[01:37:08] Um.

[01:37:08] Yeah.

[01:37:09] I would probably.

[01:37:10] Yeah.

[01:37:11] I mean.

[01:37:12] What he did that season was incredible.

[01:37:14] So yeah.

[01:37:15] Yeah.

[01:37:15] That was my thing.

[01:37:17] Yeah.

[01:37:17] Just one in.

[01:37:18] One season.

[01:37:18] But.

[01:37:19] What an incredible impact he had.

[01:37:21] And.

[01:37:22] You know.

[01:37:22] As.

[01:37:23] You.

[01:37:23] You hate to play the what if game.

[01:37:25] But if.

[01:37:25] He were 100%.

[01:37:26] In that NCAA tournament.

[01:37:29] It was really lined up.

[01:37:30] For us to make a run.

[01:37:31] Oh yeah.

[01:37:32] For sure.

[01:37:33] I mean.

[01:37:34] He dealt with a lot that year too.

[01:37:36] I mean.

[01:37:36] With that whole.

[01:37:37] Issue.

[01:37:38] With the shooting and everything.

[01:37:39] If that hadn't happened.

[01:37:41] I mean.

[01:37:41] I think.

[01:37:42] It would have been.

[01:37:43] Even.

[01:37:43] Even better season.

[01:37:45] And he had a hell of a season.

[01:37:47] Yeah.

[01:37:47] That and his health kind of.

[01:37:49] You know.

[01:37:51] The ankle or calf.

[01:37:52] Something like that.

[01:37:53] Injury.

[01:37:54] That he got in the SEC tournament.

[01:37:56] That really.

[01:37:57] You could tell.

[01:37:57] Really.

[01:37:58] Affected him in the NCAA.

[01:38:00] Exactly.

[01:38:02] But.

[01:38:03] Yeah.

[01:38:04] So.

[01:38:04] Let's go ahead.

[01:38:05] Wrap up.

[01:38:06] This week.

[01:38:07] Greg.

[01:38:07] What has been done up real good for you?

[01:38:10] Man.

[01:38:10] That.

[01:38:10] For me really.

[01:38:12] Man.

[01:38:13] Honestly.

[01:38:14] It was just those.

[01:38:15] Just the craziness of yesterday.

[01:38:17] You know.

[01:38:18] Just.

[01:38:19] You know.

[01:38:20] One of them weekends.

[01:38:20] Not necessarily.

[01:38:21] Outside of Ohio State.

[01:38:23] Penn State.

[01:38:24] Not maybe the sexiest games on the schedule.

[01:38:27] But.

[01:38:27] Man.

[01:38:28] They.

[01:38:29] More than lived up to the expectations.

[01:38:31] And.

[01:38:32] You have to think.

[01:38:32] If that's what we got now.

[01:38:34] And the first week of November.

[01:38:36] Man.

[01:38:37] We're in for a heck of a.

[01:38:38] Heck of a.

[01:38:39] End of the.

[01:38:40] End of November.

[01:38:41] Into the.

[01:38:41] Championship Saturday.

[01:38:43] And in the playoffs.

[01:38:43] So.

[01:38:44] How about you?

[01:38:46] I'm going to go with my little boy turned two yesterday.

[01:38:49] Saturday.

[01:38:50] Yeah.

[01:38:51] So.

[01:38:51] You know.

[01:38:51] Good party.

[01:38:52] He's.

[01:38:53] Nice.

[01:38:54] You know.

[01:38:54] A happy little.

[01:38:56] Running and climbing little fool.

[01:38:58] He keeps us busy.

[01:38:59] That's for sure.

[01:39:01] That's awesome.

[01:39:02] But that's.

[01:39:04] It's cool.

[01:39:05] It's something I never thought.

[01:39:06] I really.

[01:39:06] Enjoyed much as I did.

[01:39:08] I have.

[01:39:10] It was fatherhood.

[01:39:12] So yeah.

[01:39:12] Yeah.

[01:39:14] Once it happens.

[01:39:15] Yeah.

[01:39:16] It's just.

[01:39:17] Changes everything.

[01:39:18] Yeah.

[01:39:19] I am ready for him to chill out.

[01:39:21] Just a little bit.

[01:39:21] Quit.

[01:39:22] You know.

[01:39:22] Death Defined stunts.

[01:39:23] You know.

[01:39:24] But.

[01:39:25] I know with the little boy.

[01:39:26] That's.

[01:39:27] That's.

[01:39:27] Yeah.

[01:39:27] It's a long time.

[01:39:28] So.

[01:39:29] Yeah.

[01:39:31] Takes about.

[01:39:32] Hmm.

[01:39:32] I know my son.

[01:39:33] Probably.

[01:39:34] To about five.

[01:39:42] As much just to do any and everything.

[01:39:45] But yeah.

[01:39:45] Those first.

[01:39:46] First couple years.

[01:39:47] You're like.

[01:39:48] Whoa.

[01:39:49] He's a.

[01:39:49] He's a.

[01:39:50] Feral little raccoon.

[01:39:51] Of a baby.

[01:39:53] Yeah.

[01:39:55] Yeah.

[01:39:56] He's crazy.

[01:39:57] But he's been great.

[01:39:58] But that does it for us this week.

[01:40:24] A little pinch hitting for.

[01:40:26] As Adam and Donovan are.

[01:40:28] Had to miss this week.

[01:40:29] So I jumped on there with Blaine.

[01:40:30] We talked a little bit.

[01:40:31] Some TV.

[01:40:34] I believe Mallory.

[01:40:35] I think she's going to start pumping out a few more episodes now.

[01:40:57] There's our Taking Bets column with me, Greg, Blaine, and Mallory.

[01:41:01] How'd you do this weekend, Greg?

[01:41:05] I know I got Penn State.

[01:41:07] I think I went through.

[01:41:08] If I'm thinking right, I went 3-1.

[01:41:13] Yeah, I think.

[01:41:14] I know I got the Cowboys.

[01:41:15] I got Penn, Ohio State.

[01:41:18] I'm pretty.

[01:41:19] I think I got SMU.

[01:41:21] I think I missed out.

[01:41:23] If I'm thinking, if I did it right.

[01:41:26] Off the top of my head, I think I missed Arkansas.

[01:41:28] I think I had them in plus whatever, the A&M.

[01:41:33] Let's see.

[01:41:33] Pull it up real quick.

[01:41:34] Yeah, you got SMU and the Falcons.

[01:41:36] And you had A&M in Arkansas where you're misses.

[01:41:40] Oh, did I have A&M?

[01:41:41] Okay.

[01:41:42] Yeah, yeah.

[01:41:43] Two and two.

[01:41:43] I do a couple different better things.

[01:41:44] So I was sitting trying to think.

[01:41:45] Yeah.

[01:41:47] Two and two myself had Vandy, and then I had the over in the Ravens-Broncos game today.

[01:41:52] I just missed on Illinois.

[01:41:54] I thought they might put up more of a fight at home against Minnesota, but they did not

[01:41:59] as a home dog.

[01:42:00] And then I think I mentioned earlier that Duke.

[01:42:03] I had it.

[01:42:04] It was looking great until the last few minutes.

[01:42:06] Miami just.

[01:42:07] Yeah, Miami just.

[01:42:08] They were up at halftime, and I was like, whoa.

[01:42:11] Yeah.

[01:42:12] And then, you know, I got 20 points.

[01:42:14] 20 and a half was the line.

[01:42:15] So I was like, okay.

[01:42:16] Duke can hang around that close.

[01:42:18] Yeah.

[01:42:19] Let's see.

[01:42:21] I think Mallory.

[01:42:23] Talk about the Miami.

[01:42:25] Man, I don't care how far away they are from the stadium.

[01:42:30] Shame on the Miami for not showing up to that game yesterday.

[01:42:34] Like, I understand it's Miami.

[01:42:36] There's other stuff to do.

[01:42:36] But, man, this Miami team is electric.

[01:42:39] There should be no reason why that stadium was so empty.

[01:42:42] Like, that's crazy.

[01:42:44] It's just another case, man.

[01:42:46] Put your campus or your stadium on campus or at least reasonable.

[01:42:51] Yeah, but still, like, the area should be supporting this team.

[01:42:55] I understand.

[01:42:56] Like, I know it's a different culture.

[01:42:58] They show up late.

[01:43:00] Even to the Heat finals.

[01:43:02] But, man, this Miami team is electric.

[01:43:05] At least, I mean, usually they show up for winners.

[01:43:08] Like, at least show up for the team.

[01:43:10] Like, even if it's late.

[01:43:11] Like, come on.

[01:43:12] There should be no reason.

[01:43:14] It's a big enough population in that area that they shouldn't have trouble,

[01:43:17] yeah, selling out games.

[01:43:19] Yeah.

[01:43:19] Yeah, exactly.

[01:43:21] Like, show up for this squad.

[01:43:22] Because, I mean, obviously, you guys, it's not like where y'all had it every year.

[01:43:28] It's been a while.

[01:43:29] Show some appreciation for these guys.

[01:43:31] It's because it's been a long time for you, Kane fans.

[01:43:35] Don't just show up for the Florida State game.

[01:43:42] But, yeah, that does it for us, folks.

[01:43:44] As always, thanks for listening.

[01:43:45] Keep it done up real good yourselves out there.

[01:43:48] Greg, buddy, I'll see you next week.

[01:43:50] Sure.

[01:43:51] Sure.

[01:43:51] Sure.

[01:43:51] Sure.
