[00:00:00] I love the tape, the juxtapian
[00:00:07] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, I am TD that is great, great how you doing man
[00:00:12] I'm pretty good all you've been sir
[00:00:15] I'm pretty good trying to stay dry in a rainy rainy Birmingham
[00:00:19] up here
[00:00:21] but you know another weekend of football so can't complain right?
[00:00:27] Yeah let's start with our tide as we usually do a
[00:00:32] a little bit of a choppy start but in the end
[00:00:34] blowout win at Camp Randall over the Wisconsin Badgers
[00:00:40] you know this certainly isn't the prime Barry Alvarez era was constant but nonetheless that's a tough place to play
[00:00:47] it was an early time saw
[00:00:51] a good win you know obviously there's things that you know I'm sure we can prove upon and we need to improve
[00:00:57] for me Georgia in two weeks
[00:01:02] but yeah Greg what was your assessment of the game?
[00:01:05] You know over all the things we're pretty smoothly you know
[00:01:10] early the biggest concern with this court first and we missed that field go another while
[00:01:15] it's going to be that type of day and then never really was in much of a concern after that
[00:01:22] but those are the first two things that they're meant to score
[00:01:25] they actually had a decent first drive and you know
[00:01:28] everybody's like well time we're back tonight
[00:01:31] mobile it all and it's the first drive he ran like
[00:01:34] like 15 yards other while really he got so it's going on today
[00:01:39] and then they hit the field goal and then we missed our field goal and other men
[00:01:44] I thought we had the best kicker in America
[00:01:47] yeah it was it did had the beginnings of the one of those days
[00:01:51] or so like oh no like every bounce is going to go their way all the greater things
[00:01:57] we even had that was at the first drive too when we hit the quarterback and he fumbled but they hopped right on it
[00:02:05] that was early it was very early when I forget which which
[00:02:11] Lyman or defender that was at hit him but it was where he got like blocked around him
[00:02:17] the backup who kept held the ball and he just got back up and slammed him from behind
[00:02:21] and you know dropped it but it bounced right to a Lyman was correct
[00:02:26] there's early enough I remember that I was like man like
[00:02:32] you know we're all you know we were I mean we went on the road
[00:02:37] got to win cut down on penalties and have turnovers
[00:02:43] only four penalties all day no turnovers
[00:02:46] so overall you know catering proctor played and so I mean
[00:02:51] jails seem to have a little bit of time you know I guess my only concerns are a
[00:02:59] you know it's probably we didn't run the ball effectively
[00:03:04] I mean jails are so solid but no one else really
[00:03:11] well I mean jails are a couple good runs I think sometimes we try to force him a little too much
[00:03:16] and to run in you know it gets a better defense that's not going to fly I don't think
[00:03:23] well for sure I do think there's something there that we need to establish the running backs more
[00:03:29] or at least more of a you know a read option guessing game where you know that
[00:03:34] I don't know who's running but we need to sustain drives more it's great
[00:03:42] it's great to have that big play ability that's awesome
[00:03:45] it's you got to have it in this day in agent college football and you know
[00:03:49] jailing throws one of the better deep balls in the country obviously Ryan Williams can go get
[00:03:55] a good game today too but it would be nice to see a shia like sustain some you know ten play drives
[00:04:05] this pounds on there's pound on the field yeah there's still three and outs you know
[00:04:10] and certain situations and you know you know against Georgia you know and
[00:04:18] those quality teams you know that's going to be a crucial thing and they keep those
[00:04:23] offences off the field control you know play the game in our pace
[00:04:27] exactly and defensively almost the inverse of it you know we did force four
[00:04:33] fumbles you know we recovered two of them and they played well but what's
[00:04:38] content was sustain and drives for a while they had that one and like seventeen play drive right
[00:04:43] and they I don't know that was the first shot but yeah I mean they yeah they
[00:04:47] were they and I thought I was a little bit I guess our run defensively
[00:04:55] worrisome you know they were getting five six at a clip and that's you know
[00:05:00] it's not that was constant of old as far as they're running back to these days
[00:05:04] have all pros in like every year right man I mean they've had a plethora of running
[00:05:10] back something to Madison and they don't have that right now and that thought
[00:05:14] they ran the ball little too well I mean maybe a little nitpicky but you know we
[00:05:20] got to look at what we can improve on and off week I say we need as
[00:05:24] continue working on the running game starting both sides running the ball
[00:05:30] as well as seeing we stopping the run and I guess the other concern
[00:05:36] defensively is once again second week in a row and they they had a wide
[00:05:42] receiver they got two or three times got wide open at that quarterback
[00:05:47] with the damn at that point they were cooked yeah I saw some people talking
[00:05:53] about the online and it kind of thought about it and this yeah once we play
[00:05:57] Carson Beck you know you know potentially like a co-in-year
[00:06:02] is arch-maning and a playoff or SEC title game you know those
[00:06:06] quarterback aren't going to miss those wide open guys they're not going to
[00:06:10] make those tight throws you know they're going to hit guys and
[00:06:15] stride you know the even maybe even tire band I kids said I think he
[00:06:23] without when they had a few of those I can put him up pretty early in the
[00:06:28] game you know that's a tough injury for him I mean that was pretty tough
[00:06:32] I'm not saying all of these coming back to sure night yeah they
[00:06:35] mentioned and I think Joe Clatt was the no it was a what was it
[00:06:41] Joe Clatt Gus Johnson yeah there the Joe Clatt mentioned that it
[00:06:46] looked like it actually occurred right before our defender took him down
[00:06:51] like maybe the way he'd planned it but you could tell as soon as he rolled
[00:06:54] over he was grabbing that knee so yeah that's the wishes for him hope
[00:06:59] that you know it's just a spring maybe a couple weeks thing didn't
[00:07:02] look good though when he comes out on his branches didn't come to
[00:07:06] what else he likes but you know overall you don't can't complain too much
[00:07:13] you know we some of the small things that we really they're really frustrated
[00:07:18] I think most everybody from the software the game we cleaned up
[00:07:25] again I don't know how good you know it was a good win but again I
[00:07:30] don't think Wisconsin's a very good team at all but you know it's week
[00:07:36] by week because I mean we've seen we saw teams that we thought were good
[00:07:41] and then next week with terrible we've seen teams of what terrible one week
[00:07:45] and what good the next so let's see him I had you know I don't know you
[00:07:49] know it's hard to it's been a weird year in car football as far as
[00:07:54] as figuring out who's actually a great team outside of a few
[00:08:00] yeah this definitely could be one of those years where it's like
[00:08:04] a little like last year honestly where we might have to wait until the
[00:08:09] playoffs to really see who separates themselves because
[00:08:16] everyone super world beater Georgia it was a close one
[00:08:22] but before we go you don't know about anything else on the
[00:08:26] time you know I guess the biggest thing just injuries and it's good to have
[00:08:31] that by week on to Georgia beater
[00:08:35] I don't know if the I don't know if it's something you may have had
[00:08:41] a concussion this head you know of Russo that didn't look good with
[00:08:50] his leg so I don't you know they said it was a lower leg injury
[00:08:53] I didn't haven't looked today at all but now the last so didn't really
[00:08:58] follow up on that I'm assuming probably we'll see more of that
[00:09:03] so I guess just you know getting full healthy catering
[00:09:07] product having more time you know the continue I don't know if he's
[00:09:10] 100% but he looked good yesterday the line like much better yesterday
[00:09:15] offensive we had to at least as far as the penalties and so
[00:09:20] you know now we just have a week already for the Georgia game but
[00:09:24] you know if they're talking about Georgia they might at least
[00:09:28] for a month from Saturday little more mortals in the light
[00:09:32] everybody wanted to say
[00:09:39] yeah I'm with you you know it's a great time to have a
[00:09:42] by week clean up some of those little things hopefully get
[00:09:46] everybody healthy you know what we talked about
[00:09:49] sustain and drives getting the other team off field tighten
[00:09:52] up that coverage we knew you know the seconder the
[00:09:55] transfers and young guys they've played well but like you said
[00:09:58] we've been fortunate that they've had we've played some
[00:10:01] quarterbacks or missing stuff
[00:10:04] right we have then everything I would you know just
[00:10:12] I won't and then I think it's just a wide receiver is
[00:10:17] I just feel like being at it I would like to see
[00:10:20] the law give more touches every week you know I think he's
[00:10:23] supposed to go with love to see him get some more touches
[00:10:25] you know I did and times I didn't even know if him were
[00:10:29] to be we went in the game yesterday yeah no for sure
[00:10:34] Kendrick law he's and maybe that's something that you know
[00:10:37] the coaches are just saving yeah don't want to show everything
[00:10:41] these things right yeah Kendrick law is a guy he can you can
[00:10:46] put all over the place you know he's like that
[00:10:49] well so but you know I did like to Bernard Gasa you know
[00:10:52] that was his first game where he kind of shows some good stuff
[00:10:56] and of course yeah why Williams is just right
[00:10:59] you know even the announcers there were how much they're
[00:11:05] pounding that he's a 17 year old of a ball thing but
[00:11:09] you know it should be nothing this is guy that's 17 and he is
[00:11:15] to court the offenders yeah you got to think though
[00:11:20] man in this high school games are me man it wasn't anybody
[00:11:24] with him that's what I'm sharing high school because he's
[00:11:29] I mean tortured the one players now
[00:11:32] he's going to get a test you know going up can set
[00:11:35] Georgia defense couple weeks but yeah I think everything
[00:11:40] we mentioned and they I'd still like to see we did do like
[00:11:42] seem like we did some more short passes quick those screens
[00:11:45] this week we got we got to see more over the middle
[00:11:48] and that's you know kind of a week point of jailings game but
[00:11:52] yeah you just need it to you know we talked about sustain
[00:11:57] and jobs that's part of it those short intermediate throws
[00:12:00] over the middle where the defense gives you space you know
[00:12:04] especially with our playmakers man like
[00:12:08] you know you think back to when we had that you know phenomenal
[00:12:11] quartetta receivers you know Judy and Smith and Rugs and
[00:12:15] the
[00:12:16] we got a lot of stuff was them in slants over the middle
[00:12:20] and drag routes like that and then just taking it for big
[00:12:23] choice right yeah even a mary
[00:12:26] I mean when a mark you know we
[00:12:28] really short stuff a lot of the time
[00:12:31] mary got you know
[00:12:35] uh...
[00:12:35] Ridley is what I'm trying to say yeah
[00:12:38] yeah
[00:12:38] really short stuff but yeah so
[00:12:40] I think you know
[00:12:43] just seems like the dirt is so kind of
[00:12:47] how no
[00:12:48] you can use the stuff still I'm seeing what they have
[00:12:51] and like you said maybe there's just hold them back someone
[00:12:54] to stuff because why why show it show everything you just
[00:12:58] was cons you don't need to
[00:13:00] exactly yeah you're
[00:13:02] really waste Kentucky us efforts content
[00:13:06] yeah you don't show everything to Georgia yet
[00:13:11] so it's it's two weeks from now
[00:13:13] they have a buy to don't they
[00:13:16] both of us that bars
[00:13:18] yeah so we will
[00:13:20] see how much more about yeah
[00:13:22] that's two weeks from now we all know
[00:13:25] it's a bigon and like we said speaking of the
[00:13:28] bulldogs
[00:13:30] man
[00:13:31] they struggled mildly in Lexington
[00:13:35] I don't see coming
[00:13:37] I think I'm to cover and the picks column on Friday
[00:13:44] same pretty simple in the way the both came into that game
[00:13:48] I mean
[00:13:50] neither team could just really move the ball
[00:13:53] and big chunks you know
[00:13:55] Kentucky might not have had a play over ten yards all
[00:13:58] game
[00:14:01] and
[00:14:01] and they couldn't you know Kentucky is running fairly well that
[00:14:04] was kind of surprises he can talk you is kind of push it around the Georgia D line
[00:14:08] that's something interesting to know they couldn't really throw the ball but neither could Georgia
[00:14:13] Georgia ran it a little but I mean if you look at
[00:14:17] the numbers and that's not an impressive
[00:14:22] no you look at total yardage for each team Georgia at two sixty two can touch the
[00:14:26] two eighty four so
[00:14:28] who else did the defense like yes
[00:14:30] yeah and it wasn't a sloppy there's only one turn over
[00:14:33] game Kentucky lost a fumble
[00:14:37] and that was it you know there was Georgia had nine penalties
[00:14:42] but it was a lot
[00:14:44] three and outs and
[00:14:46] I'm moving the ball so it was just
[00:14:53] ground and pound
[00:14:54] we could put out of this
[00:14:57] to rock fight
[00:15:02] we could
[00:15:03] Kentucky always plays on tough and like
[00:15:06] into I don't know
[00:15:08] but the last three times is been they've held Georgia to like 24 points
[00:15:13] you know nobody else is
[00:15:16] maybe we need to talk about Mark's tube sport what are you doing
[00:15:19] I mean it's a lot of
[00:15:22] things like you know like Kirby and
[00:15:26] Kirby and Mark just love that they don't want any of that
[00:15:29] nonsense high score
[00:15:31] no they want to go down the rock game
[00:15:34] yeah and because it's in that always happens now talk about Mark's
[00:15:40] stoop
[00:15:41] you know
[00:15:43] still don't understand the fourth and sixth
[00:15:47] and then
[00:15:50] I understand the defense is played lights out
[00:15:54] like man
[00:15:55] you know no one's going to be mad
[00:15:57] if you don't get that
[00:15:59] no they even if you
[00:16:00] you give Georgia a half-field like you said defense is playing lights
[00:16:03] out there likely to stop them anyway
[00:16:06] worst case scenario Georgia breaks one scores a touchdown
[00:16:09] but you have time
[00:16:11] and you're still within a possession you know
[00:16:13] or
[00:16:14] you hold them to a field goal and you know you got a chance to be
[00:16:17] still the same
[00:16:18] you have a minute
[00:16:19] I mean Georgia basically just ran off the clock and they got
[00:16:22] the ball back away 20 seconds
[00:16:26] yeah
[00:16:27] I did not agree with that call at all
[00:16:29] I know you're all
[00:16:30] I'm pretty sure you get that
[00:16:32] yeah
[00:16:32] but you've got to you've got to throw your faith in your
[00:16:35] often to some point you know if you really believe in
[00:16:37] a vandagraph you've got to let him sling it at some point
[00:16:41] I mean no one would be enough to say
[00:16:43] I mean you're 22 point dog
[00:16:45] no one died to have a chance in hell
[00:16:47] of coming within three touchdowns
[00:16:50] of Georgia based upon your soft car
[00:16:51] I wanted to perform its own
[00:16:54] I
[00:16:56] but
[00:16:58] you know
[00:16:59] more victories but then
[00:17:01] Kentucky gave me everything they wanted
[00:17:02] I don't think they really saw that coming
[00:17:05] no that yeah
[00:17:06] I certainly didn't
[00:17:07] know that
[00:17:07] I mean you know good like you said no such things more
[00:17:10] victories and all that but a good sign for Kentucky especially after how bad they looked for South Carolina they get a high
[00:17:18] o next week before they travel to Oxford so
[00:17:23] a good
[00:17:24] barometer for them because you know they got a
[00:17:27] manageable schedule you know they do play at Ole Miss at Tennessee at Texas so who
[00:17:34] is that
[00:17:37] you know
[00:17:37] you know
[00:17:41] you know
[00:17:47] three prolific offenses
[00:17:53] yeah all in road games to and then they go to the swamp too which you know that's that that series history but
[00:18:00] I would give a
[00:18:01] a
[00:18:02] team
[00:18:03] a
[00:18:04] team
[00:18:05] you talk about a team that blue chances to win a big game for South Carolina they played it for it looked early like they were going to run LSU out the stadium
[00:18:20] the
[00:18:21] 17
[00:18:22] 17
[00:18:23] 17
[00:18:23] nothing
[00:18:23] rockets and there's a mehail he finished with nearly 150 RT run in all over a sellers was just playing his ass off the defense is making plays
[00:18:34] and then they just kept shooting themselves in the foot and LSU just climb back in climb back in climb back in took the lead late
[00:18:44] and then
[00:18:46] actually let's
[00:18:46] before that the big one
[00:18:49] LSU or South Carolina was what 33 to 30
[00:18:53] 28
[00:18:54] and
[00:18:56] pick six
[00:18:57] and then came back for just a
[00:19:03] team
[00:19:04] you
[00:19:10] and that's the big thing man like you know
[00:19:18] standing front of them
[00:19:21] block him but or just have the presence of mine to realize that no defenders always looking to take shot of him a quarterback on interceptions and stuff
[00:19:28] to do it and that's my one touch in your guy he won't do anything to him
[00:19:33] no yes
[00:19:35] you know the crazy thing is the same
[00:19:39] on both of their picks six is the car back he was the guy they got both penalties
[00:19:44] oh man that's he owes
[00:19:48] every other defender a
[00:19:50] He was he got flagged on both of them.
[00:19:55] Same guy.
[00:19:56] That's rough.
[00:19:57] I didn't know he was both of them and I read them somewhere
[00:19:59] I was like what in the world.
[00:20:02] But they had to have so many chances and I'm man,
[00:20:05] you know when they went number 17 I was like whoa.
[00:20:09] But you know, Kudos to you for fighting back in there
[00:20:13] and making it a game but man, yes,
[00:20:17] I was gonna lie every chance of the world.
[00:20:19] It should have won yesterday.
[00:20:22] Other tough things, you know,
[00:20:24] the offense was stagnant when sellers got hurt.
[00:20:28] Because what's an important bad?
[00:20:30] Yeah, Robby Ashford couldn't have been there.
[00:20:33] There's not a good quarterback.
[00:20:35] They got the big chunk play from rocket Sanders to,
[00:20:38] you know, and they were 17, nothing in 2014.
[00:20:43] LSU came back, took the lead early in the fourth quarter.
[00:20:48] And you know, that's when rocket Sanders bust off
[00:20:50] that big 66 yard run.
[00:20:53] They missed the two point.
[00:20:55] They got the ball back again and could not do anything
[00:20:59] with it.
[00:21:00] Was it a turnover or a good punt return where they got the ball
[00:21:03] in LSU territory?
[00:21:04] They were farmers.
[00:21:05] Yeah, then they literally went their drive was four plates
[00:21:08] zero yards and they had that kick a field gold to go up.
[00:21:12] So that's a big moment too.
[00:21:13] You get a start of possession in LSU territory
[00:21:17] and you can't get a touchdown out of it
[00:21:19] or can't take more time off the clock, you know?
[00:21:22] And they even got the kick at the.
[00:21:27] Oh, man.
[00:21:31] Is that the one he missed it at the end, right?
[00:21:34] He missed it.
[00:21:35] He missed it at the buzz.
[00:21:40] Playing for college kick is close.
[00:21:42] Tough loss for South Carolina.
[00:21:44] Big win for LSU, not necessarily that big upset or a big name,
[00:21:49] but a loss there, man.
[00:21:51] And you're running tough.
[00:21:53] You're running to, you know,
[00:21:55] you still got a couple non-confins games
[00:21:57] with UCLA and South Alabama,
[00:21:59] coming up two games they should easily win.
[00:22:01] Well, yeah, you're one in two.
[00:22:04] And then, you know, if you grow looking right down.
[00:22:07] But then, you know, if you so say, you know,
[00:22:11] one one in SEC play already, that's not good.
[00:22:14] No.
[00:22:15] In the last two SECs.
[00:22:17] Yeah, yeah.
[00:22:18] That's not good.
[00:22:21] Yeah, but then they answer, you know,
[00:22:24] they're, they're stretch of once they start
[00:22:26] conference play again after these two out of conference games,
[00:22:28] they go, old miss at Arkansas at A&M,
[00:22:32] you know, Alabama.
[00:22:33] Oh, that's, you know, that could have really been in the hole.
[00:22:37] So.
[00:22:38] And even Arkansas has been proved.
[00:22:41] But, um, got to tell you that also
[00:22:45] did nothing for, you know, any type of, uh,
[00:22:49] oh yeah, let's use and prove their defense story.
[00:22:51] Because, um, those big,
[00:22:53] plant plays like I said, rock at Sanders
[00:22:54] or just doing whatever he wanted on them.
[00:22:56] Yeah, it was.
[00:22:57] Yeah, it was.
[00:22:58] Sellers had that big run on them.
[00:23:03] That's how USC won that game.
[00:23:05] They just kind of drove down the field running around
[00:23:06] all out of that LSU-Rendee fan says.
[00:23:09] It's part of that.
[00:23:10] Yeah.
[00:23:11] Looking shaky at best.
[00:23:15] So I think they, you know, give a lot of,
[00:23:17] a lot of offensive coaches all the,
[00:23:21] this takes them note.
[00:23:24] Yeah, let's see, uh, other big stories and colleges.
[00:23:29] They, uh, Florida State, oh, in three,
[00:23:32] oh, preseason top 10, you know, uh,
[00:23:36] nearly a playoff team last year, you know,
[00:23:39] Georgia Travis doesn't get hurt.
[00:23:40] They are going to play off and three bad losses to teams,
[00:23:45] all teams they should be.
[00:23:47] Yeah.
[00:23:47] That two of them at home and all the same script,
[00:23:51] these teams are just pushing them around.
[00:23:54] I was saying them, but yeah, the door to take game was somewhat close,
[00:23:58] but I mean, there was no doubt that they were going to lose a
[00:24:00] boss in college.
[00:24:01] It was no doubt that they were going to lose a Memphis.
[00:24:04] And you, and then it's even like the worst
[00:24:07] incident that you came from Memphis and moved up to Florida State.
[00:24:11] Right, what's what is going on?
[00:24:15] Yeah, I mean, Memphis is a Memphis is a great team and Memphis,
[00:24:18] you know, as one of the teams that people look
[00:24:20] interested to make that, um, you know,
[00:24:24] that outside the power for, um, um, playoff push, but man.
[00:24:29] Yeah, that's a bad loss.
[00:24:31] And now you look at the schedule and how they're playing,
[00:24:35] where do they win really?
[00:24:36] I mean, they have cow coming up and cows,
[00:24:39] much improved this year.
[00:24:40] We saw cow being arbor.
[00:24:42] I mean, cows undefeated on the year 3 and 0.
[00:24:46] I mean, as you can't say today,
[00:24:49] you're not going to be cow.
[00:24:52] I mean, you know, they play at SMU.
[00:24:56] Yeah, no, I mean, that's the news.
[00:24:58] Maybe not as good as some th uh, um, yeah, they have already switched
[00:25:02] to back, which is weird.
[00:25:06] But you know, but even then, and that, that, that's got a very
[00:25:10] crowd's going to be hyped.
[00:25:12] Um, but yeah, they, they might, you know, as, you know, the
[00:25:18] losses pile up, you know, people mentally check out.
[00:25:22] And it might be a terrible season to tell us, you'd like him,
[00:25:26] have my snowball to affect it.
[00:25:28] I mean, I'd be like a 3 or 2 or 3 win team, honestly.
[00:25:33] Oh, yeah, they got it.
[00:25:35] Yeah, they need to win these next two games before Clemson comes to
[00:25:38] Tallahassee because um, you just who, and like you said,
[00:25:44] you know, the it could get worse before he gets better.
[00:25:48] And they're not showing any,
[00:25:50] not showing any hard.
[00:25:51] Again, dog walked to the strength was a defense.
[00:25:55] That's the kind of thing.
[00:25:57] Um, they're just not there.
[00:25:58] They're a terrible team.
[00:26:01] I'm just a witch or quarterback, so right, DJ, you, it didn't work.
[00:26:05] I've, you might have paid them, she's a little money, but you got,
[00:26:08] you got to move on.
[00:26:10] I guess this is not working.
[00:26:12] Yeah, whoever, I don't know if you got a,
[00:26:14] some highly talented prospect behind him,
[00:26:16] but you need to, you need to move on like you said, try it.
[00:26:19] I think that will force, start, they have a forced
[00:26:21] or a guy, they were calling for them done to Boston College game.
[00:26:25] What, at this point you are o and three,
[00:26:27] you're already o and two in conference, why not?
[00:26:30] I mean, it was a lot of sort of the gun guys.
[00:26:32] Play out for a dead.
[00:26:33] A, A, C, C's probably done.
[00:26:36] Like, just one of, show that you're building for the future.
[00:26:41] You know, this is something that Mike Norville needs to reassess, you know, how much
[00:26:44] they depend upon the portal.
[00:26:46] Um, yeah, as a portal is a tricky thing.
[00:26:49] Yeah, you know, it worked out well before last year and the last couple
[00:26:52] seasons, you know, that's really where they added a lot of star players.
[00:26:57] But uh, you know, looking like they should have gone for a cam board or any of the
[00:27:03] things.
[00:27:04] I mean, you know, they have, they what, I don't know what happened with
[00:27:07] a, at first it seemed like that was for Camorbe was going to end up.
[00:27:12] Um, I don't know if they, you know, I don't know what Miami did or what
[00:27:15] they didn't do or what man can't cam board knew something that
[00:27:20] wouldn't everybody else knows now.
[00:27:22] Yeah, maybe he saw the writing on the wall and down on the storm.
[00:27:25] I go to Fortistate.
[00:27:27] But either way, DJ, you wasn't the answer.
[00:27:32] I'm not the answer.
[00:27:35] But, you know, that's the thing like, um, you know, there's
[00:27:37] some of his chances you can take him to transfer a portal.
[00:27:41] And now two or three, you know, it's names but man, it's
[00:27:44] like, you know, they really, and they took a lot of form,
[00:27:48] you know, Alabama players, some of them are like, uh, you know,
[00:27:52] you guys excited about it.
[00:27:53] I mean, I don't know what, you know, Roy Delve was okay.
[00:27:57] I mean, he, you know, he has some good stuff, but I mean,
[00:28:01] then, you know, as the number one running back, uh,
[00:28:06] you know, they were a league Benson, uh, he was, you know, he didn't do anything
[00:28:11] at Alabama.
[00:28:12] And we're excited about that.
[00:28:15] And so I don't know, but, um, there's a lot of tough time in
[00:28:18] teller and teller, and uh, you know, they'll, uh,
[00:28:23] a little bit up the road as well.
[00:28:25] Some took very tough times in our games, real slow.
[00:28:29] You know, it's what is it, uh, it's only here at the first time since,
[00:28:35] you know, excluding, excluding 20, 20,
[00:28:38] the first time since what, like 2000 or something that, uh,
[00:28:42] top 10 team started oh and three, um, yeah.
[00:28:46] That's not good there. Um, elsewhere, let's see big
[00:28:50] stores in yesterday, staying in the, let's see, ACC Boston College
[00:28:55] after their surprise start went to Columbia, Missouri,
[00:28:57] game Missouri, every day, hey, hey, hey, hey,
[00:29:00] hell of a game, um, but Missouri pulls out a tough win, um,
[00:29:06] keeping their uh, playoff hopes alive.
[00:29:09] They're, you know, trying to prove those are tough.
[00:29:10] They seem to win. Yeah. Um, good, good wins for the time.
[00:29:15] So, um, uh, seeing what else?
[00:29:20] Another game between top 25 teams on Friday night,
[00:29:24] surprising one to make and the state just easily hold the Arizona.
[00:29:28] Hey, hey, hey, hey, I thought that was going to be a really good
[00:29:32] tight game in Kansas City. I did, so yeah, I thought that was going to be
[00:29:37] echoing the game, um, we ever know, I mean, you know, they had
[00:29:42] had the tough game the previous week going and, you know,
[00:29:44] probably should have lost to Lane. I mean, and it's not that they look bad,
[00:29:50] but you know, too Lane is just a really good team. Um, but, you know,
[00:29:54] they became home and I, you know, I thought maybe we'd have a kind of a
[00:29:57] shoot outside my higher scoring game. Um, they got after it.
[00:30:02] I mean, um, yeah. I thought we'd see some Friday night fireworks.
[00:30:07] Yeah, but it was one time. Very one side home. And yeah, that was a,
[00:30:15] yeah, it was kind of shock to the, yeah, third, third, third,
[00:30:18] one to seven air for feet. I didn't have a good game. Um,
[00:30:22] Macmillan looked, I mean, he got as 138, but I mean,
[00:30:25] no touch sounds. Um, can't just stay quarterback every Johnson is the
[00:30:32] he's basically, basically, basically, basically, we'll Howard. I mean,
[00:30:39] maybe a better will Howard. I mean, how do I know, but, you know,
[00:30:44] you know, yeah, um, it's a, hey, that's something to look out for in
[00:30:49] a big 12. We knew that they were going to make some noise there,
[00:30:52] but that type of, that's a statement when they're when they're with the
[00:30:57] promise and, you know, skill of Arizona comes in and you just,
[00:31:01] like, house, vote race and yeah. But um, let's see elsewhere in top 25,
[00:31:08] let's see, Texas will just go down the list here. Texas, uh, Archmitten.
[00:31:12] Uh, you're coming to your ears gets hurt. Our training comes in four touchdowns,
[00:31:16] big runs. He is certainly more athletic than his uncles.
[00:31:20] Uh, very much, uh, I'm the long-term son on Tuesdays.
[00:31:24] Look good against UTSA, uh, you know, Robert Trailer.
[00:31:30] You know, probably I think that it looks like they might, you know, have taken a step
[00:31:33] down from their past couple of years. Yeah. But um, they kind of housed the week before.
[00:31:39] Yeah. Texas stated house to them. Texas states a good team, but, you know,
[00:31:43] I think a lot of things with UTSA is to transfer portals kicked their ass right?
[00:31:48] Yeah. Yeah. And um, you, you want to too, you know, depend on how they
[00:31:53] season goes. A lot of people love Trailer. I think it's Robert. I'd call them Robert Trailer.
[00:31:58] But no, I might have just made that name up. Uh, that was the old tractor trailer that, uh,
[00:32:03] tractor trailer. Yeah. Michigan, right? basketball. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:32:08] It is Trailer. I know that. I can't remember first name. But if he, you know,
[00:32:14] he was a big name out there. You know, a lot of an intense kind of one in him.
[00:32:18] How are you? I'm sure. Yeah. If they take a step back, we'll see if his name
[00:32:24] goes off or not, you know, who knows? But um, good, you know, Texas, uh, we just really
[00:32:31] won't know much. You know, they did great. You know, that when last week at Michigan,
[00:32:36] I just think, you know, give him a little bit of struggle to get into the way. Yeah. Michigan
[00:32:40] struggled again. The day with Arkansas stayed at home. Um, you know, maybe struggles too much.
[00:32:45] But they just didn't, you know, they're not blanching up by 30 or 40 like they had.
[00:32:49] They were 10 point win. Yeah. We really won't know anything about Texas until the red river
[00:32:55] shoot out, um, which is, you know, that 12th of October. So then they have that in Georgia back to
[00:33:01] back. So that's really all you can say about Texas for now. Uh, sure. Ole Miss went into
[00:33:09] Winston Salem, beat the hell out of Wake Forest as, you know, they should have, uh, there
[00:33:15] are one of those teams. We just won't know touch about it until they play. Hey, you have
[00:33:22] probably never seen it started off with their most cakes. Yeah. They get, um, they do get,
[00:33:29] you know, Kentucky, Kentucky looks more impressive now. That one's in Oxford and then they
[00:33:34] have to travel to South Carolina in LSU and back to back weeks. So yeah, that's some Turkey.
[00:33:39] Yeah. So in a few weeks, well, we'll know, uh, yeah, you mentioned Tennessee. Good Lord.
[00:33:44] They were just beating the hell out of poor Kent State. All in a 30 nothing. Oh, my, what?
[00:33:51] It was 65 to nothing at half time. I mean, 37. Nothing after the first quarter. Yeah.
[00:33:59] But they could have hung 100. They were ourselves. I mean, they were asshole.
[00:34:03] With all's like, cake, whether you had a could easily hung 100 down. Yeah. And they really were just
[00:34:08] running a unique go only had a home 73 yards pass. And so yeah, but they're, yeah, Kent State's not
[00:34:14] good. Tennessee again. You know, there's a litany of teams that we just don't know their true. Obviously,
[00:34:20] they can play off. They can score. They can score, but can they do it? You know, they get, we'll
[00:34:26] know about them next week. They go to Norman, baby. All right. It's a time game. Oklahoma.
[00:34:32] Mississippi, ever. SEC game. Yeah. I'm a someone else for game days at. I don't think so. Yeah.
[00:34:38] So, uh, let's see elsewhere. Oregon beat the hell out of Oregon State Civil War.
[00:34:45] I was kind of stuck with it. I'm not that they won, but did it with sol one side? I did. They
[00:34:50] really took it. I guess they were tired to be until the day they're overrated and then one was
[00:34:57] Oregon because they yeah. Yeah. Yeah. After those first two weeks, they knew they needed to
[00:35:03] step it out. Number 10 Miami beat the hell out of ball state came ward five touchdowns man.
[00:35:11] Ooh, again, let's, uh, temper expectations for the U because, you know, based on the past,
[00:35:18] you know, 20 years. Yeah, 20, 20 years. But they get, you know, they go at South Florida,
[00:35:24] Virginia Tech. Again, they don't really at cow. Maybe on October 5th at Louisville's probably the first
[00:35:31] real test for them. But yeah, just crumbling bills of words. But it hasn't, you know, it hasn't been
[00:35:38] those games. You know, Miami's been losing those games, but it's been South Florida's, you know,
[00:35:43] that they've been messing up. So we'll see next week. You know, they just got to keep par a Utah
[00:35:51] without Cam Rising, uh, beat Utah State. Uh, I know, poor. And you know, it's, you feel bad for
[00:36:00] him, of course. And you feel bad for Utah in the way because man, they're so different with him.
[00:36:05] But a good performance three touchdowns from the backup quarterback. Um, then they ran the ball
[00:36:11] well. So you're not haven't seen anything or what his injury is exactly how long he'll be out. But
[00:36:17] you had to see him. Yeah, yeah, just like third year in the room. Yeah, and that's a team with a lot of
[00:36:24] potential. Yeah, Oklahoma State, we call out a Tulsa, no news there. Um, Oklahoma, two lane,
[00:36:33] gave him a game, gave him everything they wanted. Um, Oklahoma put them away later. But two lane,
[00:36:40] good defense performance for the sooner is they really, they're too late, couldn't,
[00:36:46] they just couldn't get, you know, rhythm going. No, that was a thing like, um, with all you
[00:36:52] like, I mean, it made that been a most impressive look on the scoreboard. But I mean,
[00:36:57] they're really wanting to die with that. We're going to win that game to lane really. But
[00:37:02] no, yeah, even you know, you would kind of I catch the score. I might put it up on the multi
[00:37:07] view whatever. And I was like, okay, you know, it's, oh, you know, end of the third quarter,
[00:37:12] Oklahoma's only up the 24 or 13, you know, like that's something. But it kind of always stayed
[00:37:17] around there. Yeah, I mean, all you just have them bad, really, and never got dangerous,
[00:37:23] and then, you know, a couple of took key turn over. Yeah.
[00:37:26] Right. Um, Notre Dame took out all their first traditions on pretty well.
[00:37:33] Uh, I mean, uh, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I didn't really know what to expect from
[00:37:41] Notre Dame just because all things is look bad all year. Um, that looked good yet.
[00:37:48] It was in West Lafayette. It had some problems with Purdue and teams of Purdue's stats are
[00:37:55] recently, but yeah, I guess they were just pissed off and so yeah, Purdue's one of those regional
[00:38:00] teams that just loves to get a piece in every day. Yeah, you could see like, oh, this could be,
[00:38:07] nope. They, uh, no, they're in it any what for 42, nothing to have time. Yeah, they just had
[00:38:14] a big question. Real quick, like, you was no doubt, um, you know that honestly, that's a for the rest
[00:38:22] of the season. I mean, that's what I mean, no today is going to have to do that. Um, they're going
[00:38:29] to put up numbers on the lot of people in the no doubt, um, that they're a playoff for the team,
[00:38:35] because they really scared us pretty soft. So I mean, they're going to have to really
[00:38:40] put on numbers to keep the, keep the committee. I'll be interested in them. Um, yeah, for sure.
[00:38:48] Let's see elsewhere Colorado beat the hell out there. I will note, no, shoot out this year.
[00:38:54] No, and it was kind of disappointing. Um, they really took a two on, um, I don't know what that
[00:39:01] was. I mean, I'm thinking Colorado says pretty bad. But yeah, and then, you know, they're
[00:39:12] their quarterback, uh, you know, trashed off for the games said we should have murder them,
[00:39:17] and we'll see how far Instagram followers get them. And then, uh, Colorado took that personally.
[00:39:23] Uh, yeah. Now the only thing I would say is, should order the trash this week after you won,
[00:39:30] where you left leaking, to we, he left the foot of leaking two minutes before the game was
[00:39:36] up. Didn't look the best with that. So, but, you know, that's, you know, I mean, it happens,
[00:39:43] but it doesn't look good as leaders in team, but, you know, they bounce back went for the
[00:39:48] buffaloes. I mean, yeah, they had lost that game or it'd been closed that you never heard the end of it.
[00:39:54] Mm-hmm. Um, yeah, exactly that was a must win for them, uh, and impressive, you know,
[00:40:03] score, loving for them too. They needed that kind of comfortable way. Yeah, definitely.
[00:40:10] Going back to, uh, see, elsewhere in a top 25, too, I forgot to mention Nebraska,
[00:40:14] easy win over Northern Iowa, 343. So, um, you know, the Huskers, uh, I'm not,
[00:40:20] we're not there yet. They're not back. Uh, we're not. We're not. We're not. Three now. Three and
[00:40:25] all right, but have a, an interesting game Friday night, um, it would no eat comes at
[00:40:30] town. Um, a bad of the, uh, an interesting game, one to Huskers should win, but you know, Illinois's,
[00:40:39] um, already, you know, tricky team. Yeah, I'll tricky. Maybe not as talented as what they were
[00:40:46] to do. Yeah, I'm not sure, but you know, they did be Kansas already, which was kind of
[00:40:49] shocking even though Kansas kind of game the game, but, you know, they're undefeated. So yeah,
[00:40:55] I mean, you gotta come and focus, can, you know, get, let's start listening to the hype. It's
[00:41:03] easy thing to do these days. So that'll be, you know, a big Friday night game and have those,
[00:41:10] you know, basically a lot of lives themselves. So, um, how people who wants to Huskers,
[00:41:18] I'm, you know, they had a lot of probably on the Colorado game, but, you know, they'll even have
[00:41:23] even more of Friday night down and kind of the biggest game of the weekend. They're Friday night
[00:41:29] and, you know, people still find out about dealing with all this. Yeah, yeah, and trust someone there.
[00:41:35] Yeah, going back to the SEC now, Texas A&M, good win in the swamp, soccer.
[00:41:43] All right, Florida's, you know, Dan Mullen left that covered bare man and poor Billy Napier's
[00:41:52] trying, but they just don't have the horses, man. They rotated a quarterbacks. They did do the old
[00:42:00] spur your rotation. I think they switched every drive, basically. And they were, you know,
[00:42:07] Graham Murtz 12 of a 15, 195, touched down in a pick, DJ Lagoid, not as good a game,
[00:42:13] six of 13 for 54, touched down two picks. Yeah, just was, he was getting sacked though. I mean,
[00:42:23] he was just getting. And when he was in, they were coming after him. You know, honestly,
[00:42:27] four days, just not a good team. They're not, yeah, they just don't have them on the line where
[00:42:33] it's, you know, it matters and that's good. They're just notty, yeah, you know, and then it's still
[00:42:41] the work when you, you know, coming to the dead season, you know, a lot of people they
[00:42:45] mean, they're gonna have a long year, but then he didn't know for sure, because, you know, they,
[00:42:49] you know, another year, there are lots of, lots of game to probably should have won last year.
[00:42:55] They were, you know, hanging around with folks should have been Missouri,
[00:42:59] probably should be for the state. She went to ballgame last year and then, you know,
[00:43:05] and then this year I mean, and the bad thing is though, both bad losses at home in the swamp,
[00:43:12] which doesn't, uh, yeah, that's, that's a good welfare. And not only that, but you've got
[00:43:20] how it's both games, you know, the Ford, you know, the Miami game, uh, you know, first game,
[00:43:29] Miami is pretty good. You get to, you get a mole again, you know, another year next big game
[00:43:35] at home, Texas and M. Texan and him had a bad week one, uh, lost to no-to-date and,
[00:43:43] at their place, so, you know, both teams hungrew for a win and they kind of house you,
[00:43:50] you know, they then didn't have their starting quarterback either and they heat put up numbers.
[00:43:58] And that was interesting because maybe Texas and it makes us switch. I don't know how badly
[00:44:05] I can't think it was there in my nose hurt. But the guy who played yesterday, he looked good.
[00:44:12] I thought that he did. I thought the in and off has looked much better,
[00:44:21] maybe just the Ford is bad, but they look, it looks much better than what they did
[00:44:26] for us all them, I guess, don't you, damn. Yeah, yeah, more so we're eating good game for him,
[00:44:33] they've gone moss, great game. So good win for the Aggies there. Florida,
[00:44:41] they need to win their next two games. They go at state and then UCF at home after a buy. So
[00:44:48] they can not afford to have any more losses before they start the meat of their SEC schedule
[00:44:55] because then UCF is going to see Kentucky cocktail party at Texas. Yeah, that murder is right.
[00:45:02] Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's got to win the next two. And honestly, you know, there's people saying
[00:45:07] that there was a meeting today and he's out. I don't know how real out true for that is.
[00:45:13] I'm like dude, I don't know if you want to do that because then I have 10, 20,
[00:45:17] some million, not that doesn't, I mean, coaches get fired all the time with big numbers.
[00:45:23] So I mean, that's not shocking. But my thing is when we when coaches get fired in his instances,
[00:45:31] like what benefit does that do for your program? And then you know, you have an interim coach
[00:45:40] so you know, did they play any better? You know, I mean, because I mean, I seem like the player
[00:45:46] like like their coach, it doesn't seem like a mute knee or anything like that where they absolutely hate
[00:45:52] them. Oh, just alright. There's not talent in that. All right good. Yeah, but not do not good.
[00:45:58] And that's come to a lot of senior. But if they can't blow your benefit is, you know, I guess that you
[00:46:04] for recruiting purposes, you know, everybody knows that you're trying to change directions. You get
[00:46:09] sometime to really make a plan for who you want and, you know, maybe through some back door channels.
[00:46:16] Yeah. But who you want is busy because it sounds like, I don't know how realistic it is, but no
[00:46:24] answer, you know, even on Friday, they, you know, Paul Farmbar and so they go to the campus
[00:46:30] of wherever as he's nation is. Of course that's where the game was. You know, games villain
[00:46:36] the other crop is what we want, Wayne. He went Wayne. But Wayne, if you get Wayne, I mean,
[00:46:47] he's in a long season. I mean, more than likely a playoff team, whenever you will
[00:46:54] see the game, you know, you're going to get rid of your coach. You want to have somebody coming
[00:47:02] in right away to the recruits feel good or, you know, someone that's going to be able to keep
[00:47:07] folks and keep lag way and everything it goes along with, you know, the transfer portal when
[00:47:13] the coach gets fired and lanes them. I don't think is a realistic thing right now because why
[00:47:19] hell would you be rockford for the, for the problem that is Gainesville? Because I mean,
[00:47:26] Gainesville, Florida has a history, but man, they have really no patience and Gainesville.
[00:47:34] No, I don't know. I just take to this point. No, I do think that I was talking with
[00:47:41] the friends about this the other day and I think lane probably would take that job, you know,
[00:47:46] you consider it, I mean, Florida can definitely outspend Ole Miss, I think.
[00:47:53] You know, the facilities and resources are probably better there. And then, you know,
[00:47:57] it's that kind of high profile job that Ole Miss just isn't. And you know, that's not a knock
[00:48:04] on the levels necessarily if they're just not that, you know, when Florida is an A plus,
[00:48:10] you know, when Florida is at their best, they're a national championship program, you know, Ole Miss
[00:48:14] at the moment, you know, who knows, you know, maybe lane takes them this year. But you're right,
[00:48:19] the timing with the new playoff now that becomes a lot trickier. That national title games
[00:48:24] what like the 20th of January. Yeah, the inauguration day is a national title day. So I'd be a busy
[00:48:31] day to make it. And that's a lot to ask for, you know, to go recruit and build your staff and,
[00:48:36] you know, do all that stuff with the new program while also trying to win the title.
[00:48:41] That's a lot. And we see lane had trouble with that before here when he was a little far back
[00:48:47] and there you go, see. And saving, you know, got rid of them between the semi final and the
[00:48:54] national title game because he felt he felt he could, yeah, he couldn't pull double duty because
[00:49:00] he had taken the job at FAU. So we'll see how that plays out. Well, yeah, definitely a long season,
[00:49:06] but man, if they have any struggles in the Starkville, because they're, that Mississippi State team is
[00:49:18] bad. Oh, yeah, the speaking of state, they got a house by Toledo in Starkville last night. Good God.
[00:49:25] Yeah, that's the most they got a lot of building in the corner. Yeah, I was going to say,
[00:49:30] you know, it gets better or it's going to get worse for gets better. But it's pretty bad
[00:49:33] about as bad as it could be for state. So yeah, this is going to be one of those one two
[00:49:39] hang years for the bulldog. Yeah, just let me look at that. Look at the schedule. I mean, Florida
[00:49:48] Texas, Texas, and by week at Georgia, Texas, and M Arkansas, you know, other than U-Mass,
[00:49:57] I don't see them win another game. I think they're all so excited. They're all fancy. Yeah,
[00:50:04] a good win over UAB yesterday. Yeah, making some big plays that just looks like a start running
[00:50:11] back for them. Yeah, I mean, and then they, you know, and the month after you, you miss the
[00:50:26] house schedule, even. No, no. I see elsewhere, Vanderbilt went to Georgia State,
[00:50:34] Austin, just a back and forth game. You know, came back, had the lead late scored out.
[00:50:44] One first one went up three, and then Georgia State just seven plays, 75 yards in a minute.
[00:50:50] And that's a good win for the others. Yeah, it was a good win, but bad look for Vanderbilt.
[00:50:59] It's a look and you know, so they were a little different. That's not when you can't
[00:51:04] can't lose it. But no, yeah, let's see. And then Auburn struggled for a half against the bat.
[00:51:16] And then X got team. They were only up. What three points four points. They did. They just
[00:51:22] switched. They made a quarterbacks. They go away that they go back to actually didn't watch
[00:51:29] the end of that, that they go back to another one back to my night. The one or the time
[00:51:35] to switch before game. Yeah. And I don't know. I mean, this was before I was out last time we
[00:51:41] went to some work function with the Atlanta Pumpkin patch here. So I didn't want to open
[00:51:46] the games except the, you know, the end of the Georgia game itself. But now I was looking at that.
[00:51:52] And I was like, uh, but yeah, I don't know if he. It wasn't looking good. No, it was just Hank Brown.
[00:51:58] Oh, hey, he's brought the whole game. He did have 14.25. Yes, I don't think 25. 235, 235, 4 touchdowns.
[00:52:05] No fix. Yeah, that's, you know, because you got, you can run the ball. You got jarcois hunter.
[00:52:09] One of the better backs in the league. And you ran for 152, yeah. I mean, he's a hell of a running
[00:52:14] back. Yeah. But they, I did watch the first half and it was just, like I said, this is not a
[00:52:20] good new Mexican team. They, and they were going right back. They were going blow for blow with
[00:52:30] all of the first half. So, you know, good adjustments for that staff. But again, we got asked a question.
[00:52:35] Obviously, Hank Brown's got to be your guy going forward. You got to have an
[00:52:39] less and less he just plays abs, you know, four picks in a half type thing. Yeah, no, I'm
[00:52:45] I'm, if I'm you for you, I'm never going back to them. But yeah, you got they need to shape up.
[00:52:52] Because, you know, there were wins on score wise. They look good. 45 19, you know, the 73 to 3 win over
[00:52:58] Alabama and a name, but that lost a call at home. And you get an Arkansas team like we said,
[00:53:05] good win for them. And they look like they've kind of found their offense, you know, that that
[00:53:10] quarterback for them. Green, is that it? Well, he's making plays for the whole gesture day.
[00:53:18] It looks like it. He looks like a great value. He's, he's a great value. What's the
[00:53:25] end of the UCF? KJ. He's a, not as good as KJ, but he's like, you know, $1.00,
[00:53:36] $1.00, he's got a little bit of hook and make plays with his feet when the play breaks down.
[00:53:40] You know, he's, hey, he got something there. And they, you know, you know, a good thing for them,
[00:53:45] though, you know, when the prettiest one against you, AB, but you know, honestly, I was kind of
[00:53:55] sure of yourself. And you know, have a bad season last year and you have those type of games against
[00:54:01] the good Oklahoma State team. There's you definitely should have won. You know, how does that affect your
[00:54:07] team mentally? Yeah. I, he bounced back, especially against the then opponent,
[00:54:14] the try. That's hard to get up for, UAB right now. They're not that good of a team. But you know,
[00:54:19] I thought they had it pretty well. It went a pretty escort, but, you know, there were one of those
[00:54:25] events or one things like that happen. They did a good job. And that's why I'm interested in going
[00:54:30] forward time with mental is the South Carolina, you know, how do they bounce back?
[00:54:36] After that loss because no, those, those, those, those, could be one of those season chains
[00:54:44] changing things, you know, either you bounce back and you get better from it or
[00:54:48] enhance you for the rest of the year and you're never the same. So yeah, absolutely. It's one of
[00:54:52] those either you say like, hey, we had this team in the ropes and we didn't, we didn't, you know,
[00:54:57] they didn't beat us. We beat ourselves tight. Thanks. Hey, move on and you get better or you just dwell on it
[00:55:03] in things. Stop loss. Let's see how that goes. But let's see else we're around the country real quick,
[00:55:10] just some scores of note, South Alabama 87 points on Thursday night. I think it was the most
[00:55:18] points by an FBS team since 94, something like something crazy like that. You talked about
[00:55:26] them last year, you know the man, when it Kansas, hey, then three, you know for the run the reps.
[00:55:32] You know that, there was watch a day game because you know Kansas gave, you know,
[00:55:47] says roundel cutting out. Man, I've never been for no, and never any ginsier that might
[00:55:58] listen to us. Rano cutting him was Lamar Jackson before Lamar Jackson. He was Michael Vick before
[00:56:05] Michael Vick. Yeah, Rano has a dude. Yeah. He was way ahead of his way ahead of his time.
[00:56:15] Way ahead of his time. Let's see other interest in results. Watch the state gets a win in the
[00:56:20] apple cut. Yeah, for them. Yeah. Whoa, Rogers just a hell of a game out there for the huskies,
[00:56:27] but could not overcome the coogers. It wins back yard raw. Good game. Really good game. There's
[00:56:35] a fun one. Alabama transfer Eli Holstein three touchdowns. No that was, you know he was probably
[00:56:43] ever going to play it all about my son. It's a way left, but he's showing he says heck of a quarter
[00:56:48] back like he's had some good games. I got yeah. I know they had the big comeback when we
[00:56:53] front week again Cincinnati and then went back to our bra and you know there.
[00:57:00] I'm not looking, looking decent right now. Yeah. I'm a good. I'm a good. I'm a good.
[00:57:06] I'm a solid looking team. As we said last week, USF has the next big dynasty. They went out
[00:57:12] with 49 points against Southern Miss. So you know a great job Alabama holding them. So low.
[00:57:19] You see, you see. Oh God. Well, I'll say that's another thing. You know how to
[00:57:26] know it's him my South Alabama. I'm South Florida soon. They felt like they we got,
[00:57:32] we gave Alabama. They could have that mindset of being down on themselves. But after came
[00:57:39] my dad where you gave us all that they wanted. All we wanted, you know for three and a half
[00:57:44] quarters before we put them away. You know how do you bounce back? They did that. I would just
[00:57:49] bounce them back and you're a timeout of UCLA. Yeah. First over big 10 game at home in the
[00:57:57] Anacom the town. You're like, oh okay. They got more rocked. 42-13. The Sean Foster's got a lot
[00:58:04] of them. You want to see him? I wrote it. Yeah. Oh man. I'm telling you. That is just,
[00:58:12] yeah. We'll never understand. UCLA is the god of being the most disappointing program in
[00:58:19] history college football. That you know, prime location, great for recruiting. You play in
[00:58:24] the cathedral of college football. Gorgeous uniforms. Love the powder blue and gold.
[00:58:29] Um, and they just cannot string together. You know. The system's see it all. Yeah, a decade of
[00:58:40] consistency. So, and you know who knows. Maybe the new look pack 12 can convince them come back.
[00:58:49] We'll talk about that in the second. I mean, the bederid team is coming along here.
[00:58:54] Because there's one thing. And I understand, I don't think they have much expectations for
[00:59:00] USC. I mean, I mean, UCLA is in a lot of change. I mean, you're, but it kind of showed you where
[00:59:08] you're at that your head coach would rather go be an offensive coordinator. Yeah. Right. Uh, yeah.
[00:59:14] Kind of just showed what things are. But man, I mean, Indiana. I mean, they're better with
[00:59:25] the Kirk. Kicking in. I can't think it's says name ever. Kirk, Signetti. Yeah.
[00:59:31] Signetti from Mom. Jamie. You know what? We question had that move for him. But yeah,
[00:59:38] I guess you're getting big Tim Bucks. He's got him 3-0. And really, house. And I mean, I don't know if
[00:59:46] I was shocked to do one, but just a way they wanted us not a good thing for you. She's your wife.
[00:59:51] That's not what you want. Elsewhere, UCF big come back when at TCU. Yeah. Bad loss for TCU too.
[01:00:01] The third Hoover they're quarterback through for over 400 yards and four tattoos.
[01:00:06] They were out. They were up big. And I mean, the first time that UCF led all the whole game was
[01:00:14] over the last. Mm-hmm. The last four with 36 seconds and I have to see you up.
[01:00:21] Tony won at one point in that game. Yeah, in the subwoof. In the subwoof. In the subwoof.
[01:00:27] Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Man. Yeah. UCF looks like the Gus bus is rolling there.
[01:00:34] See elsewhere. Willie Fritz gets his first win at Houston. They beat the hell out of rice.
[01:00:41] BYU moved to 3-0 with a win at Wyoming. Cal another win. Good win over San Diego State.
[01:00:47] They're three-nose. And then I kind of briefly mentioned it, but
[01:00:53] big news out of the pack 12 this week. They officially added
[01:01:00] was it a Boise State Fresno State Colorado State and was it San Diego State the other one?
[01:01:08] Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, officially the first part of their, I guess, reboot. You know, they're trying
[01:01:19] back to eight. You have the two years to get the eight to be in, recognize as a conference.
[01:01:26] They, I don't know. That's a weird like they couldn't reach a deal with the mountain
[01:01:32] west or a schedule for the for next year, I guess, or for 26 whatever the deal is.
[01:01:38] And they talked about, you know, there was rumors that maybe talks that they might just
[01:01:42] merge with the mountain west, keep the pack 12-name. Or that they would, you know, maybe take some
[01:01:47] guys try to rebuild the conference that way and it looks like they are going to go the ladder
[01:01:52] round, just take some members whoever wants it and then they try everything come out said they're
[01:01:58] not necessarily done. They might go back because you look at team like, you know, the you would think
[01:02:03] would be a prime candidate to join the pack 12. But yeah, for what I read that that might
[01:02:12] have to be a package deal in Nevada and Nevada's not nearly as a good looking name, but
[01:02:18] the Oregon State AD is, you know, that news happened, what that, what the, the
[01:02:24] weather. Thursday or Friday and just yesterday the Oregon State AD is already said that they're
[01:02:29] going to have to get so they have a two year window to get to eight for the
[01:02:35] be recognized as a conference. You know, they get the two year buffer, you know, whatever window
[01:02:41] from the NCAA. So this gives them now six. So they need at least two more to get to eight
[01:02:47] Oregon State AD director has said that they want to do that as quickly as possible.
[01:02:54] You know, like we said, so you would think, you know, these are choice, maybe a team like air
[01:02:58] for something like that. Or do they look, you know, are there any lower tier? FCS West Coast teams,
[01:03:06] you know, I said interesting map, someone just threw some stuff together and then have like
[01:03:12] wrote to code a state, South Dakota State. I don't know how realistic that is or how lucrative
[01:03:21] that is long term. But here was interesting, I think they did like Montana, you know, another FCS
[01:03:27] powerhouse of times. But yeah, I don't have also seen some stuff that if you know, maybe
[01:03:34] they go and cherry pick some other mountain West school, the mountain West might actually go
[01:03:44] down and get those schools themselves, you know? But it's a smart move for the
[01:03:52] packed-o because, you know, if you can just get to be an official conference and you're in the
[01:03:59] out of power conference, you can still get somebody in. But why wouldn't I just don't understand
[01:04:06] like if I'm the mountain West schools that are going to be looking like, let's just all,
[01:04:15] I understand probably a lot of legal stuff and probably a lot of animosity now because, you know,
[01:04:27] come to Oregon State and Washington State as far as, you know, hey, we'll work with you guys
[01:04:33] and then you snatch our spare mere two months from this. Yeah, you know, so it's still animosity
[01:04:40] probably with me. Just why I don't understand like just just become the packed-oil.
[01:04:47] Yeah, I don't think I understand the name but I also wonder what that is actually worth at this
[01:04:52] point. It seemed to me that the smartest thing was just for those Oregon State and Washington
[01:04:58] State to join the mountain West or even if you rebrand it some common, you know, some, you know,
[01:05:03] the Pacific Mountain Conference, the Pacific West, you know, something like that. Something like that.
[01:05:08] You think you're that idealized? Yeah, you're that idealized. Yeah, you know, you know,
[01:05:12] well, I have well over your eight geographically outside of Hawaii, it's pretty legit as far as,
[01:05:20] you know, it's a pretty compared to other conferences. It's very geographical makes sense as far
[01:05:28] as there is a lot of everybody's in the West but I don't know how it's going to, why?
[01:05:35] It's probably not going to work for some reason just because that's where we're at but
[01:05:40] I would maybe make most sense for everybody just to come together and at least to have it so
[01:05:46] be recognized as a conference and then, you know, if you're, you know, the teams that want to
[01:05:53] add it by added to the new pack 12 that you're not left out looking crazy. Yeah,
[01:06:01] I mean, it's interesting, you know, we'll see where they go. I wonder how much some of these former
[01:06:08] pack 12 schools are in play if they are at all, particularly would Calen Stanford do the
[01:06:15] company they're in with the academic schools at ACC or what they, you know,
[01:06:20] kind of be like, you know what? Let's get back to our Pacific roots, you know, and I know there's
[01:06:25] again, there's legalities and biophies but if the ACC is getting sued anyway, they take that chance
[01:06:31] to jump back or any of the schools that went to the big 12 going to reconsider, you know,
[01:06:37] again, there's all kinds of legal things in there but who knows? Right, I mean, the ACC,
[01:06:45] I mean, they're about to firmly withdraw on, so I don't know how quick you put them in here.
[01:06:51] You know, I feel like there's Stanford in Calen, we're just kind of going into just
[01:06:55] we gotta get back to our numbers. Yeah, we've got to have it, we just had to add some names
[01:07:00] people heard of, and I don't think we're really any thought of. Do they make sense at all?
[01:07:06] Other than academics, does it help us in any way for football, does it help us at all for any other
[01:07:11] sports? Because you know, the bottom is Olympic sports, let's not bring it in the end,
[01:07:18] do you know, the revenue and not all the ACC teams play, you know, all the stuff like the
[01:07:23] men's volleyball and you know, the, you know, the, every house is when we're seen, but you
[01:07:28] know, there much, much better when I would pack 12 schools. Yeah. Yeah, so there's a lot, you know,
[01:07:37] looking at article in the athletic real quick, they're talking about a possible name, so they go,
[01:07:44] you know, just because, you know, they're not necessarily down the mountain west, so they,
[01:07:48] you know, they had you know, the obviously Air Force, as I mentioned, Wyoming, you know,
[01:07:52] their program that's always been solid. They're a big-time rival of Colorado State,
[01:07:59] you know, they're right there with Boise State, you know, Georgia. Yeah, so that's one,
[01:08:06] and then they also talk about, you know, schools like Tulane, Memphis, North Texas, you know,
[01:08:11] of course, nobody gives us shit about actual geography anymore, so why not go for your
[01:08:16] tenants, you know, Tulane, but they're talking about, you know, there'd be about the Texas
[01:08:20] markets for a team like North Texas, UTSA, Memphis is school that's, you know, been wanting to
[01:08:26] get into the big conference for a while. Right. It's kind of, it can't be what was on the outside
[01:08:33] in there. Yeah, but they, you know, that's a good, and that's not just a football school,
[01:08:38] you know, they're a good basketball program, they had another good athletic programs there,
[01:08:42] you know, they, um, and they're schooled in IL, you know, money because, you know, the Fed X ties
[01:08:48] they have. Now, you know, is the pack 12, you know, is that what Memphis wants, you know, as far
[01:08:56] as, you know, did they view that as a big name? I think they would probably more look to get in
[01:09:01] the big 12. You think it's, yeah, and seeing as much more likely did he go big 12 before? Yeah,
[01:09:08] I mean, you know, in a geographical world, you know, obviously the SEC is their fit, you know,
[01:09:12] they're right there with Ole Miss and Arkansas State, you know, and everybody had a long,
[01:09:18] everybody will miss already, so yeah. So you know, there's a, but you know, I actually do, no,
[01:09:25] no, I don't know what happened. I do it in my college football, uh, Xbox Dynasties,
[01:09:30] I have this in SEC. You know, in Memphis is an SEC town, you know, but yeah, most of them,
[01:09:40] but yeah, and then, you know, there's maybe some non-fapal schools, you know, like just,
[01:09:45] you know, do they kind of court like Gonzaga or St. Mary, some of those West Coast comfort
[01:09:49] screens for basketball, but you know, hey, that's just something to happen this week, the
[01:09:54] realignment train never stops. So, uh, that was the news. Yeah, I mean, it's an interesting
[01:10:03] to see how we're going to discuss who knows, who knows what they're trying to do there?
[01:10:08] You know, I would say like I said, most, the most sense just to bring everybody aboard
[01:10:17] out the mountain West called you South the Pac Wester, whatever, or the, or the,
[01:10:26] I'm 10 or 12 or whatever. These guys number would be and go with that, or I, you know,
[01:10:37] the main thing is you want to stay where you're, uh, recognizes a full conference and you have
[01:10:44] a possible playoff contention. I mean, that's how you can really hold for it. Yeah,
[01:10:51] so, you know, that's their job. And it seems like, like I said, that Oregon State AD said they
[01:10:57] wouldn't do it soon as possible, so it seems like we're probably, that'll probably happen
[01:11:00] before the seasons over for sure. Yeah, I'll, I would think so. So just, you know, something to pay
[01:11:06] anything else in a college game, you wouldn't touch on before moving real quick.
[01:11:11] Hmm, I'm saying trying to take, oh yeah, um, that other interesting game,
[01:11:19] Thursday night, it was Arizona State Texas State, that was the fun one. It was a good one.
[01:11:23] Good win for the sundavels, all right? Yeah. So, that's the, you know, like, a much better than
[01:11:29] what they did because Texas State is of the judge's squad. I mean, I've never saw the program.
[01:11:34] I mean, they have a lot of transfers. So, you have me now. You're as long as state
[01:11:38] look at much, much better than what they did last year. So, yeah. That's about it. Yeah. All right.
[01:11:46] Well, let's, let's move through the NFL quickly. We're, we're, yeah, we're over an hour, 10 minutes.
[01:11:52] Right. Yeah. We mentioned last week was just a good day. A lot of great football games in the NFL.
[01:11:59] This week was the weird week. Here everything subverted your expectations.
[01:12:04] From week one, see, I start with our teams. My Ravens, a loss at home to the Raiders,
[01:12:11] blew a 10 point fourth quarter lead. This, it's Gardner, miss you picked them apart.
[01:12:18] Just really couldn't, couldn't make plays. You know, receivers dropping balls that
[01:12:23] turned into big interceptions, offense, stalling out late, defense couldn't make a stop late.
[01:12:29] Just a dumb frustrated loss. And your team may, probably to me, the shocker of the day,
[01:12:37] not just that y'all lost at home to the Saints, but just how we lost to a mate for the
[01:12:42] quarter, four to 19 it was what it was. And it was so bad. How we do is over after the first quarter.
[01:12:49] I mean, they scored it within like 10. The first driving in, I would come on when just absolutely
[01:12:56] four little touchdowns on the day for Camara. And then as good as our, you know, last week,
[01:13:01] the defense is great and you wonder, you know, as the defense good is, are the Browns bed.
[01:13:09] It's probably somewhere in the middle, but I mean, you know what, our didn't do different
[01:13:13] sequenader, you know, he's more, has more packages that thing worked well for us. And then
[01:13:20] we're going to be able to stop the run better one or time. But today, just seem like as,
[01:13:29] just a rewanda the playoff game against the, the packers. I mean, we just got absolutely
[01:13:37] house from the gig. I mean, couldn't stop a nose bleed if we wanted to. And it was just like,
[01:13:44] just when you move on from, I don't know if you don't know what you're doing. You just move on from it
[01:13:50] because that was just a worst possible game we could have ever had. Yeah, that was a good look.
[01:13:58] And then next week, our teams meet. Yeah, the afternoon game in Dallas or Arlington.
[01:14:08] And what's now? You know, you hate to say must win game for the third game of a 17-game year.
[01:14:15] But man, Ravens, I went to and there are next few games at Cowboys home for the bills at the
[01:14:22] bangles. That's the tough. That's kind of a command of feisty commanders team, an at Tampa Bay at Cleveland.
[01:14:30] You know, that's a Ravens got turned around man and they're offensive. It's just not.
[01:14:37] I'm like a queen. It's yes, not looking that they did eliminate some of the penalties from
[01:14:44] last week, but they're not quite, you know, it took a while for Derek Hiner to get rolling
[01:14:47] day and once he did, he was going good. But then they just can't, you know, I mentioned,
[01:14:52] you know, Bateman dropped a ball hit his hands when right to Raiders Defender. You know,
[01:14:59] it's almost had themselves a real good shot toward the end there, but like good defensive play,
[01:15:04] likely had the a chance to make a spectacular sideline catch. But Raiders Defender made a good
[01:15:10] play at knock-a-ball at his hand. But yeah, man, that's, you know, the Cowboys are going to hear,
[01:15:16] Cowboys are going to want to turn around and a tone for today and Ravens need to win because they
[01:15:21] can afford to start. I mean, either one was about lucky to Dallas and one and two or
[01:15:29] Ravens that are one three and, you know, well, you know, just to expectations from both. I mean,
[01:15:36] yeah, maybe we'll see. I don't even know what to expect right now. I'm like, yeah,
[01:15:44] they shot it with all the reasons because, man, I mean, the scenes we know they have weapons,
[01:15:53] but the scenes honestly have not been good in the last couple of years. I mean, the way they
[01:15:58] play Prime 2010, Jubilee's, I mean, they were just rolling. Oh, yeah, or it looked like kind of 2015
[01:16:08] as you know, Alvin Kamara Prime, or just, you know, yeah, so that was a yeah, it's like, man,
[01:16:15] this was like a throwback for the Saints offensively, I mean, they, and honestly maybe that offense is
[01:16:22] that good. This, you know, I mean, I put a Wendy's on, yeah, 91 points through actually this
[01:16:29] stat on the screen right now for, you know, on the Sunday night games, fourth the most points
[01:16:37] through the first two games in NFL history. But yeah, like we said, it was a weird day, Tampa Bay
[01:16:43] went into Detroit, got to win. The Packers without a Jordan love, Malik Willis gets the first
[01:16:51] group when the Packers defense is story that forced three picks off of Anthony Richardson,
[01:16:57] Josh Jacob 32 carries 151 yards. He's like, I mean, maybe that's the key right there to give him the
[01:17:04] one. The Vikings beating the 49ers. Yeah, I mean, when the world, I got the, you know, I put
[01:17:11] a little parlay this morning and I have the man four and a half, sure why not? They're me. Yeah,
[01:17:18] you know, the, the, the 49ers do what they wanted to do against the jets. So I thought,
[01:17:25] man, yeah, this comes with good and you know, the Vikings are, you know, until when I
[01:17:31] only year had, you know, their quarterback, he's, maybe this is what he needed about time.
[01:17:39] Yeah, so he has it. He's been talking about him. How some weapons now? And he's never had a
[01:17:46] lesson to ever assemble for. I did, he turned to the game. I didn't see. I know he
[01:17:53] was injured at one point. I didn't see anything. Yeah, I'm not a percent, but yeah, he's looking good.
[01:18:00] It's the elsewhere, um, the sea Patriots. Ficed you again. They lost today in over time of the
[01:18:06] season. But another game you, you figured like, oh, that's an easy win for no, Seattle, uh,
[01:18:11] had the struggle, but they did get it hang in. The commanders win with seven fiel goals.
[01:18:17] 21 18. Yeah, uh, hey, that's a win. Giants, uh, Malorie's Giants.
[01:18:24] Oh, oh, oh, oh, let's see Jim Harball and the Chargers easy win over the Panthers as it should be,
[01:18:33] Panthers still just terrible. The Browns looked a lot better than they did last week.
[01:18:40] The Jacksonville got a win. Uh, wasn't a great win, but the Cardinals beat the ever-loving
[01:18:48] hell out of the Rams. Uh, Rams, I went to for a team with a lot of hype coming into the game.
[01:18:53] Yeah, yeah, but they have all the injuries right now. Yeah, yeah.
[01:18:57] Sure. Like a, like, cool, um, cook out today. Cooper got hurt again today.
[01:19:06] Other guys out. Oh, yeah. That's fine. Is out. I think Stafford got sex six times.
[01:19:14] Oh, man. It's bad. Like, you know, Arizona, you know, Marvin Harris and two touchdowns.
[01:19:21] Man, well, how did 30 some yards? Yeah. He's probably a good guy.
[01:19:25] Could be living up to the height this week. Yeah, if he Murray developed a rapport that's
[01:19:32] he's got himself another Deal Dr. Hopkins. Yeah. Well, the Steelers 2-0 after another ugly win this time
[01:19:40] and it's the Broncos. Uh, Bow Nick's to the defensive team. But that's Steelers. The Steelers for
[01:19:46] Bada. Yeah. Oh, no, yeah. And like we said, probably maybe the best defense in league. So that's
[01:19:53] the Chiefs and Bangles, another classic Chiefs win on a walkoff field goal. Bad penalty for the
[01:20:00] Eagles. Yeah, terrible. Uh, I mean, but it just showed you life. Yeah, but I mean, bad is the
[01:20:08] Bigles look class week and then you go into a arrowhead and you give them the Chiefs all they could
[01:20:13] ask them. I mean, the big was that should have won that game. I mean, it's great to week to week and
[01:20:18] NFL. Yeah, it's just a weird week like nothing. Nothing went out of the right. Yeah, and then, um,
[01:20:26] you know, some other, you know, we saw what Jim Arche said he's not going to negotiate his contract
[01:20:32] during the season now. So that's something that'll worry Bangles fans. Uh, the Chiefs,
[01:20:39] how that looks like now Hollywood Brown might actually miss the regular season. Oh,
[01:20:43] all season. Oh, yeah, after what they thought would just be a couple weeks. So that's, uh,
[01:20:48] and a granite, you know, they, you know, between Rashie Rice and Worthy. I mean, no fire and
[01:20:53] it. Yeah, that was just another, yeah, another weapon that they could have had that really
[01:20:59] took another level. And one of Super Bowl with the pedestrian offense last year. Exactly.
[01:21:06] Yeah. So yeah, but yeah, like we said, just a great game there in Arrowhead, but two notes
[01:21:13] start for the Chiefs. Oh, and two for the Bengals. Thursday night, the bills got a big win over the
[01:21:23] three picks. He was just a terrible game anyway. I just the bills do that to him. I just haven't
[01:21:29] and then, uh, yeah, trying to make a play late. You know, they're down. He's just trying to make
[01:21:34] scrambled puts his head down gets hit. Got a slide. Got a slide. Got a slide, man.
[01:21:41] If you're tough and he has to believe, you know, of course there's all this speculation. All,
[01:21:46] you know, all the talking heads doesn't need to retire. Well, well, well,
[01:21:49] pretty sure he released a statement today saying that's not going to happen. That's not going
[01:21:53] to happen. So, you know, it's hot. Ha, that's so, it's, you know, it's easy for us as outside
[01:22:01] if you don't say it. Man, he got a step away from the game. But when that's what you know,
[01:22:08] that's your life. You've done it to a whole life. Yeah. He's the only one that can make that decision.
[01:22:20] You know, they are. The soon knows someone was a guy who was, was a macophysho, maybe that
[01:22:25] he was talking Nick Sabin, you know, Sabin obviously has a great relationship with two. And
[01:22:30] he basically said, look, this is something only two it can make after consulting his doctor. She
[01:22:34] know, it's got to be a medical thing. So, yeah, it's kind of the hand. It's only has decision. He's
[01:22:39] going to make and, you know, his wife can be the hate. I want you around, you know, maybe, but
[01:22:46] you're, you're hate to see it just because of the history of it. And he's had so many and he's
[01:22:51] young guy still. He just got that big money. So, I mean, of course he wants to put out that
[01:22:58] contract. Me has a lot of guaranteed money. I don't know how that works if you would retire early.
[01:23:04] If there's any, it's kind of anything in those contracts. It says, you know, you don't get it anymore.
[01:23:10] I don't know, you know, it's guaranteed, but there's still certain things that
[01:23:15] cuts that money or not from you who knows. And then we were the other thing too. I was thinking
[01:23:23] about, I think you've got to play at least five years to get that, uh, with your, uh, pensioner.
[01:23:30] And if I'll pension or whatever, so I think this is the least of fifth year. So, I mean,
[01:23:35] I mean, looking at that, I mean, I can be another thing. But it's just hard because of me,
[01:23:40] you're a starting quarterback in the NFL. And you're a young guy and you know, the best
[01:23:47] rate ever going to be, I mean, it's hard to step away from the game. Yeah, and that's what he knows.
[01:23:53] One thing, yeah, one thing, Sabin common only is a hell of a competitor. He's just fiercely
[01:23:58] competitive guy. So it's hard for those guys really to step away. Yeah, it's not like he's 40.
[01:24:06] Yeah, it's not for 40 year old to step away from the game. Exactly. It's when he's, you know,
[01:24:12] I'll find the concussions. I mean, he's a healthy guy. I'm going to say we saw last year what happens
[01:24:17] when he plays a full season man. He can sling it and they, their offense is one of the better ones
[01:24:22] in the league. So yeah, so yeah, tough, tough, tough, tough to watch. Yeah, but uh, see as we watch here,
[01:24:33] looks like Houston is going to 2 and 0. There's one of them. Yeah, tough. I mean, it's the
[01:24:39] bear. I'm ugly game tonight. Yeah, the win. And then tomorrow night, uh, what's it? Falkens
[01:24:47] and Eagles. How many of that football? Yeah, J. LeHert, say, Juan and all, Guru again looks like
[01:24:53] a no AJ Brown tomorrow night. No. But yeah, um, you could say it's just kind of weird Sunday and
[01:25:01] one of those Sundays in NFL, but usually they don't happen quite this early. No.
[01:25:06] Um, but everything is like very like end of October and November and time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:25:11] Yeah, yeah. But it's just like all the favorites like Australia, the struggle for
[01:25:16] we're took an elder day because I mean, some of those games are like, wow.
[01:25:20] And he has about the, they only sure things that we see right now, you know, the cheese
[01:25:23] are going to be good and the giants and panthers are not. Other than that, everything else is a
[01:25:31] new base. But yeah, we got, you know, Aaron Rodgers got his first win. Is it jet? They get,
[01:25:38] you know, next week, looking ahead, they get the Patriots on Thursday night football.
[01:25:43] You know, we mentioned our right answer. The Anthros in game. Yeah. Um, yeah, we'll see.
[01:25:51] But yeah, let's see, uh, elsewhere in the world of sports. I don't really have anything else
[01:26:00] coming this year. You know, a couple of looks like, you know, some records being broken W and BA,
[01:26:06] Caitlin Clark. Yeah, I'm a part of the record. James Wilson. Wilson. Yeah, first of course.
[01:26:11] Great. And a one season. Yeah. Um, yeah, Caitlin Clark ever since, uh, since he went on the
[01:26:28] house. And he said, you know, we have a lot of money. That's why that was our main thing is, you know, the
[01:26:30] main, no matter how good they are, you have to make the playoffs and, you know, she's, they're going
[01:26:36] to make the playoffs. You know, they're both 500. I'm so mean there. Well, ahead of what many
[01:26:43] cops because they would be this year. So yeah, see, baseball, you know, the minute race rolls on,
[01:26:54] just interesting thing from the baseball world today, uh, Helio Ramos, the first ever
[01:27:06] right handed batter to Homer and to Macovi Cove in San Francisco. Um, you know, it's hard, you
[01:27:14] know, obviously it's an opposite field, a shot, you know, for right hand or say, you got put a little
[01:27:19] extra muscle into it. But you know, it was just a 300 94 feet, which is a drive. But you
[01:27:26] think by now one of these right hand power. Yeah. Oh, well, what a guy went, but they're, uh,
[01:27:33] since the park opened in 2000, there've been 167 homers hit into the water and all left handers until
[01:27:40] today. Oh, that is great. Yeah, that's just an interesting thing. How I said, how I thought that
[01:27:48] probably opened my old 304. Yeah, right? Like I said, just one of the, yes, especially, you know,
[01:27:54] right around the stereo into the stereo there. But yeah, wow, just figure one of these big
[01:28:00] mussely, you know, right hand abats. Uh, it's one time. But yeah, just get, yeah, get it, get it,
[01:28:06] elevated fastball up and away and just get, you know, hit it makes solid contact and hit it, but that's
[01:28:12] just crazy random things. But uh, elsewhere as we run down, uh, we mentioned last week, you know, the
[01:28:18] A.L.s where the division races are a little separation this week. Yankees up three on Baltimore,
[01:28:23] Cleveland up four on KC, Houston up four and a half. Um, and then the, uh, in L, no, we're going to
[01:28:32] the wild car race. That's the tough one. I was still got San Diego Arizona there, the Mets and Braise
[01:28:37] thought for that last spot. Uh, in the A.L. Baltimore, KC, you're first to and then you got the twins
[01:28:43] in the third spot, but Detroit's Seattle right behind them, Boston, lurk into. So, so, awesome.
[01:28:51] So some races going today. Yeah, the Braise got a house tonight by the Dodgers, but they won the
[01:28:58] first two in this series and they'll play one more again tomorrow night. Um, but yeah, uh, you know,
[01:29:07] show Hayo Tani, you know, March is toward a 50, 50 season. Other than that, yeah, I think that's pretty much it.
[01:29:17] Did I have anything you wanted to mention before we hit out?
[01:29:20] Well, I think, you know, it's been, I've always talked about a lot of interest and stuff in the
[01:29:26] car in the name, but yeah, I think we didn't, it was everything there. I could think, oh,
[01:29:32] um, yeah. So I think we are probably good to go. So Greg, what has been done up real good for you this
[01:29:40] week? I don't know, real good for me this week. Probably, uh, probably my daughter, um, she, uh,
[01:29:49] she got in early, well, it's like a summer early college thing, a UA, where likes you can do
[01:29:55] either online or actually go to school, but down there for the summer, she wanted to give
[01:30:00] her a college credit, so while she's in, um, ice cool still and she got to accept it in the
[01:30:05] that program, so I was up there and that's awesome. There's awesome. Congrats to her.
[01:30:10] I don't think they have such things when we were on high school working to do that.
[01:30:16] Maybe you know, we weren't doing them. No, that's not a long way to reach. Yeah,
[01:30:24] you know, honestly, uh, our age and she's, you know, cool. So her, I mean, she's pretty disciplined.
[01:30:32] Man, I was just trying to be the coolest kid. I mean, I, you know, I just wanted to,
[01:30:39] I mean, I could have been nerdy. I mean, I did that bad grades, but I was wondering people
[01:30:45] to try to hide that I was in the were near it, you know, that I could be smart because, you know,
[01:30:52] that point wanted to be the nerd, you know? Yeah, it wasn't cool to be smart back then.
[01:30:57] I was the nerd kid, you know, it was a good grade student, but even then, you know, I wasn't,
[01:31:01] I didn't do AP, I didn't, you know, I had a few honors classes here in there, but it wasn't,
[01:31:06] I never had that extra, you know, looking back on it now. It's like, oh, man, you know, I should have
[01:31:11] done a extra career. Yeah, because, you know, yeah, I said to do a lot more because
[01:31:18] you look at it and just a life lesson, you know, tell my kids this all the time. You know, we do
[01:31:23] so much of trying to impress other kids and stuff. And he looked back and he like, why the hell was
[01:31:28] our chonding process person? This person? You know, other than maybe seeing my Facebook every
[01:31:33] now again, I don't even talk to these people. You know, I mean, man, yeah, it's not bad. How
[01:31:40] do you? As far as I'll stick with the support world today, North London Derby win for
[01:31:48] Arsenal this morning. Right. London is red and a big win not only because they, you know,
[01:31:54] they played man city next week, got to keep pace on the title race even this early New Year, but
[01:31:59] you know, some injury trouble there and for Arsenal as well too, lost their
[01:32:05] Martin Oda Gardner play making central midfielder got hurt playing for his native Norway and
[01:32:14] international duty earlier in the week. So he's really the folkrum of that squad. So I was like
[01:32:21] an inch loss and that's a big win to get in, you know, at Tottenham too. Yeah, so good way
[01:32:30] to start this morning really, you know, when the kid got up, I kind of forgot I was all and I was like,
[01:32:37] oh yeah, well that's watches. So so that was good. But yeah, it's a good start to the day, but
[01:32:46] that'll do it for us folks as always. Thank you for listening. Do be sure to subscribe and like
[01:32:53] and tell your friends and tell your rich friends as always and you know, we talked about the
[01:32:58] Alabama slam, calling it quits last week. Unfortunately, so along those lines, if you're a business
[01:33:05] owner or you got a friend with a small business and you like what we do or like what any of us do
[01:33:10] here at the Alabama take, throw us a little sponsor, you know, that's something you can do to
[01:33:17] you know, keep, you know, a little self-run podcast like this going is, you know,
[01:33:21] nice. It helps out, you know, make it worthwhile, you know, you know, or make it worthwhile. But yeah,
[01:33:29] so any of you out there listeners, you know, you own a little business or it doesn't have to be
[01:33:33] small, it can be big if you work for a big company. Well, gladly take that sponsorship money too.
[01:33:41] But yeah, so like I said, as always check that out, check out the Alabama Take.com as always
[01:33:46] for some good writings and stuff. No challenge this past week for some reason, but it'll be
[01:33:52] about the VMAs. That's why it'll be back next week. I mean, playing, I'm sure we'll hop on that
[01:33:57] coverage. You can check out our pick-and-callum every Friday. Me, Greg, Blaine and Mallory. I think
[01:34:05] it was, I think that's why we got a lot of stuff. I think that, I think that about bounce back
[01:34:13] week this week myself. Yeah, they were, you know, hey, we're getting in a groove. It's fine.
[01:34:18] Oh yeah, that should do it next week. I am out of town working again, but there is a slight
[01:34:25] chance that I might be able to record still. It was, we recorded, I recorded from Ohio's where
[01:34:32] I'm going. I recorded their last year as the episode we did with Mallory for the Ole Miss Alabama
[01:34:38] game. So there's another slight chance that I will be able to record. I will obviously talk
[01:34:44] to Greg about that and I will let y'all know if I can or can, next week. So, that's the part
[01:34:50] we found me. As a result of my week for Alabama, I think it's a fairly quiet week overall in college.
[01:34:56] And so, wouldn't it be the worst thing? And you know, we'll be back for the Georgia Week in obviously,
[01:35:01] but we'll keep you updated on that. First of all, thank you for listening. Folks, keep it
[01:35:08] done up real good yourselves out there and enjoy football season minutes over before we know it.
[01:35:14] I know, always goes too quick. Greg, buddy, I will see you next time.
