Blue By Ninety - Shake the Big House

Episode Date: October 9, 2020

You're going to want to grab a beer for this one. Jeff @ShawMeYourTDs joins us from the Cocks by 90 podcast (USC Gamecocks). We talk some SEC vs B1G, Noon games, betting, tailgating and more. Might be the funniest episode yet. Buckle up!

This is the University of Michigan. Touchdown, Michigan! The Beats of Michigan! They can court extra pass. And it goes to the wind! The three-pointer by Jordan Poole! Down the sideline! Peebles Jones!

Touchdown, Wolverines! Alright, welcome back here to Blue by 90. We are joined this week by Shami from Cox by 90, our SEC fellow here. From down in South Carolina, the Gamecocks. Shawmi, how we doing? Hello. Happy. Whatever day it is.

Who knows? I just know football's around the corner. I can smell it, man. But, dude, it's great, man. It's great to be here talking to you guys. Blue by 90, another 90 podcast, right, y'all? I mean, there's nothing better than that. So, you know, weather's getting a little crisper down here.

Football's getting a little bit more in that frustrating season for the Gamecocks. But I'm doing well, man. I appreciate y'all having me on. Of course, man. Of course. Thanks for joining us. We're excited to go out. I'm just curious if we're going to have to bleep out that intro with the cocks and TDs. I know there's a lot going on here.

Cocks, TDs. I don't know. I mean, this is this is everybody plug your children's ears. I don't know if anybody listening. No, but I love that. I mean, just the southern accent bringing that into our into our realm here is beautiful i love it so um but yeah we so cox by 90 uh podcast here um we love you yeah you know we love to have somebody coming up from uh from the southern uh the part of the country here to to help us with

the north you know i want to know you're saying it's getting crisp in south carolina what is crisp to you because we've already had some crispy real crispiness up here this is like extra crispy like some like fried chicken extra crisp at a nice 81 degrees today so it was a little extra crispy but we were 81 christmas jesus we were 40 degrees when i got up this morning today was like it was like 65 and sunny and i thought it was absolutely beautiful it was like the best best day of the year so yeah we we would have we've got to have some different uh differing opinions there of what football season feels like um because i mean i will say you guys at least are getting to play football in this decent weather we're gonna have to wait till the end of october here it's gonna be legitimately 45 degrees when we play um i was gonna say i'll grab the snow plows out by then i mean it's gonna end in midway through december i might like i imagine like that new england

oakland game where it's like they're plowing the field for like the field goal to win the game like i imagine that's like how every big 10 game is going to be ending this season it's just snow plows on the field like uncovering the snow You know what? Whatever it takes for us to maybe beat Ohio State, we'll take it. So maybe some different climate conditions can help because nothing else has been working for the past couple of years. I love his realistic response to that. Like, yeah, you guys are laughing. I mean, I just – I've heard it for –

Shoot, Harbaugh's been there for, I feel like, what, seven, eight years? Maybe I'm not even, maybe it's that, I don't know. It doesn't even feel like it. It feels like he's been there forever. It's got, I mean, but it's like that promise every year I hear from Michigan fans and ESPN. It's like, this is the year. I mean, or it's not, this is the year.

It's like, is it this the year? And I'm like, eh, I don't know. I mean, maybe maybe you never know so i i think that's just us just having hope that any we're trying to cling on to anything anything at all so let's just get right into that since we're already on the topic um so you know you're in paul feinbaum country you're in you know thebaum country. You're in, you know, the SEC country. What is the general, is that the general, you know, topic? Is that the general gist of what everyone thinks of Michigan football is like,

yeah, you guys can hope and talk every year, but it's never really happened. Well, you know, I'll tell you this. I think I respect Michigan as a program. right pageantry tradition love playing with them on ncaa football back in the day when we used to get the chance to do it right but i'll give you a couple couple things that come to my mind right you think big house right amazing place one of those top places you want to venture to if you had your bucket list. But then you also think, as a Gamecock fan, I think of the hit. I think of the absolute destruction that Jadavion Clowney put on my man, and I just think of the hit.

So as a Gamecock fan, we're sitting here thinking Outback Bowl, the hit, the helmet in outer space. But if we're not talking about the hit, I would say that a general consensus from an SEC perspective would be that you all get a lot of ESPN hype, which is warranted, right, for a good time in three season. I want to say one thing there, too. Is that our fault? No, that is not your fault.

You all don't ask for that. The khaki-wearing hardball asked for that, right? He's got a great personality. He brings a lot of that intangible to the table. Again, I love the guy. Shoot, I'm a Dolphins fan. My NFL team's the Dolphins. We always were talking before Flores got hired that hardball was going to leave Michigan and come.

I'm a hardbaugh guy. I mean, shoot, again, Michigan, respect the program. I'll just tell you, every July and August, there's more Michigan hype out there than there is. Like, shoot, now Clemson is the team everybody talks about. Like, Michigan, for a couple years there, it was like, this is Michigan's year. Like, Shea Patterson's the guy. Like, they're going to do it. They got it this year.

Like, they're beating Ohio State. They're going to the ship. I felt like ESPN always gives you all some good love. So what did you think about Shea Patterson transferring to Michigan? I mean, you probably had a closer eye on him in the SEC with him being at Ole Miss. Did you think that he could have kind of done something at U of M? I'm telling you, the guy had to. I mean, so what's frustrating is –

because I will watch y'all's games. Y'all do have a lot of nooners. He had – at Ole Miss, he had the arm. He had the escapability. I was like, okay, maybe this is the quarterback Harbaugh gets his hands on. And you guys got talent on the outside. Like, you all are built like an SEC team, I would say. And this is just my perspective.

Maybe a little habit slower on defense. Because South Carolina, we're a middle of the pack SEC team, right? We're not like, we're no world beater by any chance. And that Outback Bowl, what was it, a couple years ago? We snuck out a win for Will Muschamp. That was our ninth win of the season. This was before the hit. You know, you guys got talent.

And I thought Shea Patterson was going to kind of take that offense to the next level for you all. So maybe you would be, you know, what Ohio State would I see them, you know, 45, 52 points a game. I was like, maybe that would be the guy that would have taken you all to do that. Unfortunately, it obviously didn't come together. But, I mean, shoot, you guys, I mean, how many times are you all going 9-3 in the past, like, seven or eight years? I mean, it's got to be. That's like y'all's staple, isn't it?

It is. 100%. It's respectable, but it's like you're Michigan. You're like, dude, you should be winning 10 games every season, at least, you know. So I will say it's a south, Michigan, respectable program. Absolutely, no doubt about it. But it's, you know, you talk about the game, and you're like, when is the last time they beat Ohio State?

That's kind of like, oh, I don't know. 2011, when they were 6-6. And that's no dig at you all, because Ohio State, I mean state i mean they're on top of the world i mean you know i don't mean to cuss or anything but shit they should have beat clemson last year dude that was a bull crap dang fumble call they had and i mean you know again i'm not preaching ohio state on a you know blue by 90 but i'm just saying i hate clemson and so this is a respect to the big 10 i thought the big 10 should have been playing in the national championship as opposed to those but I'm just saying I hate Clemson. And so this is a respect to the Big Ten. I thought the Big Ten should have been playing in the national championship as opposed to those Tigers.

I think Ohio State probably could have given LSU a little bit better run for their money. But we respect. Hey, we respect. There's some good top half of the teams in the Big Ten. No doubt about it. So I will say this. Fun fact. I was at that game game i was at that outback bowl

so i was down there and i was we were everything was great we were up like 28 or i don't know what i can't 21 or something like that it was 21 three a half it was 21 three you're kicking the shit out of you and everything was great that was my cousin's last game it was perfect everything i was like oh we're gonna sail off into the sunset everything's gonna great we're gonna go party you know i was hungover from new year's eve the day the night before but it was keyboard city 2001 mons venus you name it tamp Tampa is the best New Year's for anybody that doesn't have a wife or a husband. It was fantastic. And then, you know, it was just like touchdown after touchdown after touchdown from South Carolina.

All of a sudden, what was it, 26-21 that it ended, I think, or something? Yep, that's exactly what happened. And I kind of hate you all for this. I will tell you this. I hate not Blue by 90, but Blue Nation for that game because Brian McClendon, that was his first game as offensive coordinator to prove himself before we went into our search. Sure enough, he's tricking along with three points at half.

I'm like, hell yes, we're going to go out and find us a big-time offensive coordinator. He pulls this rabbit out of his freaking ass, finds a way to win that game. We promote him to offensive coordinator, and the last two years, we have just sucked. It just sucked, you know. So that second half saved his job

you've been paying for it for two years we've been paying the shit out of it man it's crazy we got it we got wire receivers that can't stop a nosebleed i mean it's just it's it's awful and so he left us just with trash our offense trash. We scored one touchdown in like the last four games as him as offensive coordinator. We sent him packing to Oregon. Go be the wide receiver coach. We brought in Mike Bobo, who's actually a – he knows what he's doing at least. But that was y'all's dang fault. We should have had two years of McClendon.

His audition, we fired Kurt Roper before that bowl game. McClendon's audition was that bowl game. And sure enough, y'all let him, that nice little easy second half. Damn it. Y'all are the reason. It's y'all, man. I can't believe it. You know, it's funny.

My cousin was a defensive end on that team. So I will call him up. I'll let him know that he's the reason that you guys are still struggling right now. You are the reason. Actually, this is why we're together right now because you're the reason why the Gamecocks still suck. I'm going to tweet this out right after this, and I'm going to say the reason why we still suck

is because the dang Michigan Wolverines let Brian McClendon be offensive coordinator from a miracle rabbit out of the hat second half that I still don't know how he scored those 23 points. Hey, man, you guys may suck now, but hey, you got that golden ticket coming up this Saturday. How are you feeling about that game coming up? The chocolate factory, baby. We got the golden ticket. I'll be shaking it around.

I was just recording my episode. Actually, it was episode 24, so I'm getting up there. It feels good. And I was like, hell yes. Like, we got a noon game. Vandy's a noon game. But I will be trashed by halftime. And then literally there's nothing better than a Saturday when you're just hammered and your team wins,

and then you just parlay that into betting the 3.30 games, betting the 7 o'clock games. You're walking around strutting, hey, I got my Cox by 90 shirt on going. I mean, there's going to be nothing better. This Saturday is going to be one of the best Saturdays I've had in a long time. I love it. Now, I think I know the answer to this, but let's say Vandy and Rutgers go head-to-head. Who do you think is coming out on top there?

Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Talk about a pillow fight. Holy shit. Oh, I mean, Derek Mason is the head coach of Vandy. He likes to anchor down. He's a defensive-minded coach. Rutgers, all I can know is they got Shiano back.

They got Shiano back. Shiano. All right, I'm calling it 3-2. Vandy wins and a barn burner. I love it. Perfect. Bet the under on that game. Yeah. Oh, under all day. Over under is probably like 19 and a half

and you're still hammering the under. I'm taking my mortgage payment and I'm doubling it. I'm saying I got the feeling today, baby. You win. You win. It's a guarantee. It's like one of those. It's like not the play of the day, but if you're following a bookie or a guy that picks bets, this is the play of the year. It's a guarantee. It's like one of those. It's like it's not the play of the day, but if you're following a bookie or a guy that picks bets,

this is the play of the year. It's a POI, the under. Is there one bet that we should come? If we're always betting on South Carolina, is there something that always hits with South Carolina? Do they never hit the points do they never I mean what what what what should we be betting if we're going on the Gamecocks all right so anybody that's watching this I am a degenerate Cox better like absolute degenerate

Cox better and this is my strategy I wake up Saturday mornings and I bet the Cox every single Saturday. And I've done that for the last probably 12 years, bet the Cox every Saturday to cover. I, if I'm feeling frisky enough and we were, when we were talking before we got on air about those IPAs, if I'm drinking enough IPAs game, I'm betting the over because I just want to see the point scored. Who doesn't want to shoot out?

Um, I'm betting the over because I just want to see the point scored. Who doesn't want to shoot out? Obviously. And then to show how much I'm just a big homer of the Cox, I take whoever Clemson's playing every Saturday. So I take them. So not only am I betting for the Cox to cover, but I'm rooting as hard as I can against whoever Clemson's playing. So you're probably talking to the wrong guy about who to take for the Cox because I'm going to take 90 every fucking time, baby. I love it.

I'm going to start betting Cox now. 100%. I'm hammering the Cox. We'll get together and get a little group chat going after this. Noon comes this Saturday. I want you to hammer the cocks. I think it's around 12 and a half right now. Hammer the cocks.

My prediction for the game is to cover, and we'll all just shotgun a beer or something. We'll get on FaceTime and shotgun a beer after we win or something. And then maybe I'll Venmo y'all, and we'll buy a shot, and we'll take a round, and we'll have a good old time. Hey, I know we got to get you up here, Jeff, because Pretzel Bell, the basement, is now open. Oh, I hear you. That's our spot.

We like the Pretzel Bell and the basement's finally open. So might have to go there this weekend and watch some games. Get y'all some games. I tell you, you know, back in Columbiaia my old stomping grounds pavlov's pavlov's bar is like literally the spot right you don't go there i wouldn't say you go there to watch games but you i mean you can go there to watch games i've watched a lot of those hawaii games we were talking about there but when you're blacked out just trying to hold yourself up on the wall our liquor drinks it's like, oh my God.

I mean, dude, I'm just shithouse, right? But Pavlov's must be like the Ricks of Columbia there. It's literally, they had, so Monday night they opened back up. There was a line of 600 people at 6 o'clock when the doors opened in the afternoon to get into the bar. It's just, it's the place. Like, it's absolutely insane. So, not this weekend, but next weekend I'll be back in Columbia for our Auburn game.

You bet. We haven't beat a ranked team in six years. If we beat Auburn, I'm at Pavlov's. That's kind of like what's going on. Oh, yeah. We beat Ohio State. I will be at Skeets going off.

Whether it's open or not, we'll be there. We'll be outside the front door. I will be just saying shirt off in our crisp 81 degree weather. I'll be jealous. It'll be

Thanksgiving weekend. It'll be jealous. I'll be jealous of that. It'll be Thanksgiving weekend if we – or wait. It'll be December 12th. Hey, if we beat Ohio State, my shirt's coming off. 100%. It could be a matter. Did they preserve rivalry weekend for y'all even though it's like kind of a little different in the schedule? They preserved that game though?

Yeah, they did. Because, again, that's always the best nooner game to start rivalry weekend i and i will tell y'all is there a reason why and this is me asking you this why do y'all always play that game at noon i feel like the game's always at noon because it's fucking 12 degrees out and by the time the sun goes down it gets below zero see now i've i've been one to say for the for i don't know probably a few months now i'd love to see ohio state lead off the year and then put michigan state as another rival for the last game of the year because at least that's the game we can actually win oh my god that's the only one

saying this i did lose a bad i don't what Three, four years ago, the muff punt flipped. I mean, y'all might throw up while I'm telling you this. I know I lost that bet. I like that. That lost me some money because I remember slamming something down and be like, you gotta be fucking kidding me. Like same reaction. I'm glad it was the most outrageous play of all time,

and we were on the losing end of it. And it's changed everything for us. I don't think I lost any money on that game, just my pride. Yeah. A lot of pride lost there. That has got to be one of the – and, again, I don't want to talk about Michigan heartbreaks. We talk about Gamecock heartbreaks all day long,

but that's one of those. I think they still – like like i don't know how but they still show that play in like college like like i don't know clips of like 100 or something it's so long ago it's not even like it happened last season but they still show it like you know it's just to rub the salt in the wound it is it's absolutely brutal it's like us michigan fans holding on to all being the all-time leader and wins that's what sparty is holding on to for having a disgraceful last few seasons yes exactly so mike antonio was a former gamecock though i will tell you that was i did not know that i went up there there and, shoot, he coached, I don't, I mean,

I don't know how many years, but. Wait, did you say Mike D'Antonio or Mark D'Antonio? Mike D'Antonio. Or is it Mark? Mike? I don't know. It's Mark, which makes me so happy that you said that because it's so much shade at Michigan State.

They take that disrespect to heart and I love it. Yeah, I mean, shoot, one of them NBA basketball coach, they might as well be the same guy, right? We've got some Spartys that listen and they're going to be like, what the fuck? Porter Gamecock doesn't even know his name.

Mike did a great job up there. I'm so proud of Mike. He did a hell job up there. I'm so proud of Mike. He did a hell of a job. Galen, did you have a question? I did, actually. So I'm curious. I see on ESPN all the time, it seems like they're making this matchup like SEC versus Big Ten, right? And outside of a couple in-betweens like maybe Clemson, they really try to sell that matchup.

But you're an SEC country. How do you feel about the Big Ten as a league in general? Do you think that they're on the same level? You can talk. I mean, before I know it, my tweet, Twitter, crap's going to be blowing up. Cox by now, he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about but i'm looking at this hey guys i did pull up this because i wanted to make sure i gave you all the best knowledgeable big 10 sec perspective

right so i've got what i'm looking at and again i'm gonna read it off how about this this will be something i'll throw a little curveball i've got all the Big Ten teams right now, and I'll read off what I think about them. How about that? Here we go. Love it. Love it. Illinois fighting Illini. Do they have a football team?

Trap. Indiana Hoosiers. They were great back when actually Larry Bird played for Indiana State, so I think they're a basketball school too. I don't know if they got football. Iowa Hawkeyes always beat the Gamecocks in the Outback Bowl, and they got the best tight ends in the country. They're always good for one upset.

They're okay in my book. They're okay in my book. Maryland Terrapins. Mike Loxley, the head coach there? I think he's got a recruiter as a head coach like he's yeah I don't know if he can coach any lick of football but he can recruit like hell so Maryland team on the rise for the over there right they do yeah I mean so I will tell you all this. Loxley, he is a badass recruiter.

Maryland could be potentially a sleeper team. Maybe not this year, but years to come. If you stack up enough talent like he can recruit, potentially. All right, Michigan State. Mike D'Antonio, while he's not there still, his legend lives on, and they're going to go six and six. So, you know, no doubt about it. Oh, I love it.

Minnesota Golden Gophers, row the boat. Row the boat. Row the boat. APSPM wanted that to row that boat so hard last year. They were like literally just row, row, row, row, row, row. And they rowed it to a 9-3 season or however they finished up. Respectable. I do love Fleck as a coach i think

that and again don't take me wrong big 10 country he'll probably end up being one of those guys that takes a big time sec job or will go to the nfl like he i mean he is he's he wears his tie i mean he's you know he's respectable in every aspect. I believe he'll take a bigger job than Minnesota. I think he will, too. You think the Gamecocks have a chance? And maybe picking him up? People on the big spur in every message board,

P.J. Fleck's like top guy on our list. Everybody's like, Fleck? Does Fleck even know where South Carolina's at? I mean, you know. The better question would be, does P.J. Fleck, can he point where South Carolina is at? Like, I mean, you know, the better question would be, does P.J. Fleck, can he point out South Carolina on a map? And it has nothing to do with the hiring skills. It's just like, I don't even think that's on his radar.

You know, he's thinking if there were something to open up even bigger, you know, you got to save him potentially retiring in a couple years. Like, he could be one of those type of guys. I respect him that much. We've got them first. They're our first game of the year. Wow. On the road at Minnesota. Do they got

Tanner Morgan? Is that still their quarterback? And they got Rashad Bateman. He still wear the bandana around his head kind of trying to do a Baker Mayfield impersonation. Over his bald head. I think he does. All right, so let's keep...

All right, Nebraska. Now, Scott Frost. Now, this is one everybody's probably got to keep an eye out for. Scott Frost coached the national champions. He sure did. He sure as hell did. Golden Knights, baby. Yeah, he coached it.

He's a national championship head football coach. So, I've got to watch out for the Cornhuskers. I will tell you, this is something funny. So, my dad, we would always love watching Monday Night Football because he'd just say, hey, watch the offensive linemen. And whenever you get to the guy from Nebraska, they'd be saying, you know, John Doe Nebraska like they just always give you the most Nebraska way of saying Nebraska like it was I mean that

was just something all right Northwestern Wildcats another team that will give you an upset once a year yeah but I don't I mean they'll go four and eight and give you an upset. They're going to give you an upset, but they won't – yeah. They'll sniff. Mike Greenberg might say, hey, they're going to make a bowl game. But not as much as they're talking about. All right. I'm going to skip the big dogs.

Keep going through the bottom tier. Purdue Boilermakers. They're still hanging their hat on Drew Brees is what they're doing. They're literally still hanging their hat on Brees. And, you know, good for them. They made one Rose Bowl. They won one. You know, they were good way back in the day.

I don't know. Rondale Moore. Rondale Moore is back. Oh, that's A. That's right. That's big for them. That's big for them. They still don't.

They got to have somebody throw it to them. I was just about to say, they got Drew Brees a quarterback still or what? If not, Rondell might as well go ahead and cop out. We talked about Rutgers. Rutgers is going to average literally probably two points this year. Greg Sciano came back. They're averaging two points. So we got, in my mind, the final four. We've got, and I'll start with Wisconsin.

Wisconsin, you're going to have a great running back every year. You're going to have the biggest offensive line every year. And they're going to, they are a solid nine and three team. Like, I feel like you all have some solid nine and threes. Like, you've got, like got a lower echelon where you can beat them up. The 9-3s, the top tier, these four teams I'm going to talk to you about

beat each other up. Wisconsin, good 9-3. They're going to have a good running back, no doubt about it. Their offensive line is going to push you around. They're going to play a football game that I'm like, I really don't want to watch that game because it's like run run run run run and i'm like i'm done watching this they got it they

got a slow ass quarterback that can throw it like 20 yards total he just dumps it off to tight ends yeah that's that's uh i'm not watching that all right then i'm not gonna like progress it up and i'm gonna finish with you know We've talked about you all. Penn State, Nittany Lines. You've got James Franklin. You've got a former SEC head coach from Vandy. He's a guy

that he could sell. I will tell you this. When he gets into recruits like House, he probably sells the shit out of them on Penn State, right? Mm-hmm. But, I don't know. I mean, when's the last time they won something big?

Like, I couldn't, you know. I mean, they're still, they're the classic, like, still hanging their hats on the Joe Paterno. Yeah. Even though, obviously, there's the Paterno scandals and stuff. The last time that they were in serious contention was that.

It's tough to say because Michigan didn't say both. They were in the Rose Bowl three years ago. Sam Darnold? He was QB at USC when they played. Three or four years ago mean Penn State's more relevant I'm talking national championship yeah like they're

they're one of those teams it's just like okay okay you got nine and three ten and two right like that's you know nine and three ten and two you've got you've got some solid nine and three ten and two teams no doubt about it but they're one and i get that rose bowl you are talking about they actually put up some points i i think they actually i don't did they play oregon i can't i'd have to play usc i think the final score was like 52 49 sam donald let him on a game-winning drive and uscb penn state like they were going back and forth you're right it's how game that game was a quad to watch that's exactly one trace mcscorley Penn State. They were going back and forth. It was an unattainable hell game. Is that Saquon?

That's exactly what it was. Saquon, Trace McSorley. Sam Darnold. They've had one good year. I will tell you this, though. They've got to quit tearing down Paterno's statues up there. People might not like that. I don't like that. I'll just tell you I don't like that.

I'll leave it at that. I don't like that. I'll just tell you I don't like that. I'll leave it at that. I don't like that. I mean, it's so tough. Like, the guy, I mean, he got convicted after he was dead. Yeah. I mean, geez, dude. Y'all want to do something? Do it while he's alive.

Don't kill him and then start doing all this shit. You'll have a lot of Penn State fans on your side with that comment. They still pray that you don't do that. I mean, that's just something. And I say that because you hear about Penn state when there's something about Paterno or maybe if they want a big game and they do win, you know,

one or two, but all right, we get to the Ohio state Buckeyes and I look at Ohio State because we've talked about Michigan and how I feel about Michigan. Ohio State is one of those teams that has, shoot, and I think it goes back to Cardell Jones, right? That was, shoot, five, six years ago when they won. He came in, won those couple, you know, yeah,

and I think that's where it kind of kick-started, right? They win that national championship but he comes in as a third string quarterback and you're like holy cow that's what they have in their third string and that's and y'all said it's been what i mean it's been a little while since y'all beat ohio state but nine years they have put together some impressive ass teams like from a standpoint when i look at it from like the sec i look at speed right and their speed can compete with sec speed and that's where guys i'll be honest i think we're in kind of like the same boat except we're carolina's just a lot more shittier but like

we're playing clemson every year right because they're our rivalry game you know acc but you know we beat them five years in a row we had our we had our foot on their throat Dabo Sweeney comes from out of Lake Norman or not Norman but whatever Hartwell like from some you know I don't know out of a movie to save them and now you know they're a national scene and we've we've lost five straight to them but it kind of feels the same way right like can we ever get over the hump to beat Clemson? You all probably feel the same way about Ohio State because you don't see – like I don't see the end in sight.

Like I don't see them not being not good. Like Ryan Day is – I mean, I don't want to say quarterback whisperer, but he's put Justin Feeble in a position where that guy looks good and it's like they don't rebuild, they reload. Well, that's the thing is, like, it just seems like we can't catch a break and they can't not catch a break. It's like the three quarterbacks thing in one year on their way to a national championship, like, how the hell does that happen?

That doesn't happen to anybody you know like even alabama with two uh and jalen hurts like that's only two and those all those all those and you know both those guys are in the nfl now playing getting at least time you know all the guys that were at quarterback for ohio state that year not one of them is playing quarterback in the nfl right now but they made it work somehow and then like oh oh you know Urban Meyer gets a scandal and then all of a sudden Ryan Day's like the greatest coach in history what like how do they just luck I mean not that it's all luck but like we somehow like I'm the punt fumble the spot like uh jt was short like all this shit happens to us and i guess you create your own luck so maybe they're creating their own luck but like

is that that's probably how you feel about dabbo like oh they just kind of lucked into this guy and all of a sudden he's like one of the greatest coaches of all time like how you know he's had what buses in like five years or some shit like that yeah it's it's it's stupid you know i i can i can get to our conspiracy theories y'all probably have the same thing up there with ohio state but i'm like you know they go to new spring church they funnel all their you know booster money through new spring church they give it to the recruits when they go up to the lake they baptize them them, and then forever, they're forever Clemson. How some guy out of Florida

or some guy from California wants to come to little old Clemson in the damn hills. People don't even know where Clemson is. They pop up there, and sure enough, number one, number two, three guy in the nation, commit, commit, commit, commit. Shoot, even the Jackson Carman guy,

I know he was going to go to Ohio State right Dabo makes the comment about he ain't gonna be there sure enough he's not there but five-star left tackle goes to Clemson it's just he just you don't see it end you know the and I think recruiting is where it starts right like if you keep seeing your rival recruiting at like a high level like the chances are they're not going to miss that many times with that many high prospects. And so it's like, fuck. You know, it's like, I don't know.

I don't know. It could be a decade before we beat them. We got to get lucky somehow. Yeah. I know, and that's something where when you're talking about Ohio State and those guys aren't succeeding in the NFL, I mean, if you're talking about Ohio State and those guys aren't succeeding in the NFL. I mean, if you're talking about SEC speed, all those wide receivers for Ohio State can just fly. And if you're throwing to a guy who's wide open, I mean, you've got a little more room for error.

So that could be a thing for them. I mean, I don't know if you've seen any of the stuff about Michigan and their receivers now with Gattis and this whole speed and space thing. But it looks like we're finally getting some faster receivers. And if that can happen up in Michigan, man, that'll make my college football season a hell of a lot more fun to watch. Y'all, I mean, don't, and again, I might be wrong with this one. So don't, don't take this part. You're probably right.

You're probably right. You're probably right. Like, Braylon Edwards is like the last Michigan receiver I remember as actually being, like, really, really good. Like, I can't. Devin Funchess, solid in the NFL. Yeah, all right. All right. For the Panthers. For the Panthers, yep.

Solid guy. But I'm with you. I mean, DPJ I thought was overrated. Tariq Black couldn't stay healthy. Two recent guys who Tariq Black couldn't stay healthy. Two recent guys who Tariq transferred to Texas. But Nico Collins, man, he seemed like a stud guy, but he's sitting out

this year. He was a five-star, right? Wasn't he a five? I want to say he was a five-star. He was a four-star coming out of Birmingham, Alabama. I know. I remember that battle was big because I do remember the guys that leave SEC territory and go up north, you kind of put like a little – like you make a little check mark.

Like, all right, let's see what happens up there. You know? So, I mean, Junior Hemingway, out of Conway, South Carolina. We have got his brother, Tonka Hemingway, as a freshman right now. Oh, sure. He was a good wide receiver. Yeah.ingway, as a freshman right now. Oh, sure. He was a good wide receiver. He was very good. He made big plays.

We didn't have anybody to throw it to him, and he still made plays somehow. I mean, Denard was going on the ball. Denard Robinson was literally throwing prayers constantly, and then Junior would go up and get it somehow. Shoelace, right? Shoelace. Shoelace. Oh, hell yeah.

That's right. See, that's what I honestly hope this year is. Not that we're going to be that bad. I hope we're better than that. But at least when we're bad, it's exciting to watch. We got Joe Miller who can throw it fucking 85 yards and we got fast receivers so even if it's bad it's gonna be exciting so shit that's all we can ask for right you gotta have i mean that's what i was telling y'all like i was looking back at these

teams again i'm like shit man if i was an iowa fan dude like like how do you get it how do you get pumped up for an Iowa game? Like you know it's going to be like 10 to 3. You know how you get hammered by noon? They get hammered by like 9 a.m. There's nothing else to do in Iowa and Nebraska than drink. So they drink even harder than we do. I mean, again, Rutgers, they're just playing through.

They're literally just playing through from the night before. You know, they're just like, screw it're literally just playing through from the night before. You know, they're just like, screw it. We're only putting up two or three. So, might as well just keep it fun. Might as well have fun doing it, yeah. All right. Well, so you gave us the entire Big Ten, your entire take on the Big Ten.

I loved it. I mean, I feel like that was about as accurate as it gets coming from the South. I mean, you gave it to us straight. I'm all about it. Let's move on to the SEC. Let's give a, you know, we'll talk a little bit about the SEC. Maybe we'll give some of our takes on the Gamecocks and on the SEC. Maybe we can, you know, roll down the list a little bit. So first and foremost, we'll go back to you for a second.

So you kind of talked about how shitty your Gamecocks are right now. And obviously you're sitting at 0-2 with a loss to Tennessee and a loss to Florida. But those are two good teams. You guys had a shit schedule going into it. So where do you, we'll, we'll start with just kind of like how, how you see your season playing out. Um, you know, obviously Owen too, but you're probably going to be one and two after this weekend and you're going to have the best fucking Saturday that you've had after this

Saturday. How, you know, how do you see it playing out? All right. So I'll tell you all this so on my uh podcast i've been telling my cocks by 90 faithful i'm like take take the last nine games which it would have included last weekend in three game pockets right i think you have to look at this three three separate game schedules is what i told them. So I was like, you look at the game this week against Vandy, very winnable. So what ultimately you want to do, you want to go two and one in those three games. So we lost to Florida. We got Vandy coming up.

And then also after that, we got Auburn at home. Auburn got their ass stomped in by Georgia last week. Literally that fraud, like fraud might well have been written across the screen next to their ranking. So I think there's an opportunity. Hey, 2-1 in those games. You go to at LSU. LSU's nothing special this year.

They have not done anything that tells me they are the team anywhere close to what resembled last year. Death Valley's not Death Valley if it's not 8 o'clock at night and 90,000 screaming fans. So Gamecock optimism, I'm probably hammering that line. It's probably going to be like 12 plus 13. I'm going to money line it if my bookie lets me. We'll see what happens.

But, you know, you got LSU. Then after that, we'll come back. We'll have a bye. You got A&M. We'll go what happens. But, you know, you got LSU. Then after that, we'll come back. We'll have a bye. You got A&M. We'll go to Ole Miss, Missouri, Georgia, Kentucky. You know, the schedule, an SEC schedule is pretty tough. I mean, I think we play five of the top 16 teams in the nation. I'm looking.

I've told my faithful. I'm like, hey, I think a 500 season can happen. And I'll break it out in those three pockets, right? Go two and one, one and two and two and one, and that'll get you your five and five season. And that's probably what we're expecting. You know, we're not writing home saying that we're going to win the ship, but we're also, we're not as bad as we seem. So I've got faith. I cautiously optimistic that's always how it is as a game fan i mean you have to be and honestly we should be more cautiously optimistic but we are usually irrationally optimistic there's no caution with michigan preseason hype literally no caution you

you hit the nail on the head when we first started talking. It's just, you know, this is the year. It's hype. I mean, there's ESPN. I will say ESPN does it, y'all, too. ESPN hypes y'all up. They know the fan base is super big so they can get play on that shit. So then they just, like, try and get us into it. Us and Notre Dame are the same thing.

Huge fan bases. So it's like we're going to start in the top 15 every single year, no matter how bad we're supposed to be, so that they can get some top, you know, ranked games up early in the year, and that's it. So it's like – I'll tell you, I mean, again, for teams, how about this? SEC, you know, I would love y'all's take again to go through some teams. I will tell y'all this. Florida, who we played last week,

with Kyle Trask and Kyle Pitts, they're the real deal. They're Heisman contender worthy type players. I will say that those will be names that will stick at the top of the list. It's crazy to see Alabama replace a guy like Tua with Mack Jones and just literally still putting up

crazy amounts of points. I mean, they got Devontae Smith. They've got Jalen Waddell at wide receiver. They've still got a ton of speed. Their defense is loaded. I think Florida and Alabama. Now, Georgia's one that Georgia, you know, I was telling you all recruiting earlier, Georgia's top three recruited for the past three or four years

where Kirby Smart is their head coach. They literally have reloaded five-star talent. It'll be interesting to see. Again, I think that cocktail party in Jacksonville, Georgia, Florida, will kind of tell us, you know, I think it's going to be Alabama versus the winner of that game. So the SEC's got some top-tier talent. I think if you're looking at top ten teams from the SEC, three good staples,

Alabama, Florida, and Georgia will probably be what you see from us. No love on Auburn? Or Mississippi State? Mississippi State. Are you buying the Mississippi State hype? I got beat by Arkansas last week. I didn't even know

they had a football program this year. I thought they opted out. What about Lane Kiffin over there too? The Lane Train is real. That's where jealousy comes into play being a Gamecock fan. Dude, I don't care if we suck. Y'all were saying it earlier. I don't care if we suck, but I just want to see some points.

I want to see excitement. Give me Lane Train. Give me the lane train excitement like i'd be happy as hell to wake up every morning knowing even if we're gonna get our ass stomped then we're probably gonna put up like 40 or 50 points and we're gonna have a good time doing it probably look good too you know so yeah we'll see and he's probably got like 18 broads on the sidelines that are helping him out. Yeah, he has got – the Grove at Ole Miss is probably just loaded with people that say like – you know, like Happy Gilmore said, ha on one cheek and pee-pee rye on the other. It's like Lane on one cheek and the train right here on the other.

I can just easily see that. I heard something that during a Zoom presser or something like that, like a reporter asked him a question, and then you heard like his toilet flush. I mean, that's the lane train, baby. That's what he is. That's incredible. What do you – I mean, like – Let's see.

Let's go to Jack. Jack, start us off here. What are your takes on SEC football right now? So I'll agree with you i'll i'll agree with you jeff slash slash show me your tds uh florida georgia bama top three i mean undoubtedly florida or alabama georgia are always top two florida's gonna have a real good year this year vols vols are two and oh right now we'll see if they're the real deal this weekend i don't think they are i think they're gonna i i i would bet the over on that one or bet the uh

bet georgia would cover on that one um kentucky i mean they they had a good year what last year two years ago but who what are they doing this year? They just lost to Ole Miss. They just lost to the Lane Train. They're, you know. I mean, Missouri, go back to the Big 12. Go to the Pac-12. Nobody cares about Missouri football. Ever since Chase Daniel left, they're done.

Gamecocks, love them. I miss watching the games when Marcus Lattimore was there. I mean, remember when that guy was supposed to be the next Barry Sanders? Remember that? That dude was amazing. Vanderbilt, put him in the SEC. Auburn, always a solid team. Arkansas, put him in the Big 12.

LSU, solid. Ole Miss, I love their uniforms. Keep them around. Ooh, those baby blue huh the baby i like those mississippi state now they got mike leach big fan um a&m jimbo fisher what can he do i mean the sec is always i feel like the sec is always solid top to bottom you know other than arkansas and vanderbilt and missouri i, I would almost love to see conference realignment every few years. Like SEC Big Ten, make them the top tier, you know, the top two, power two,

and then, you know, get the scrubby teams out of there. Move them to the Big 12, get the good Big 12 teams into the SEC or the Big 10. I don't know, man. Let's do a Power 3 and get all the ACs and Pac-12 teams into the group of five. Yeah. Every weekend.

Literally like Mike Tyson every weekend just dang like, hey, makers. I'd be bad at it. Could you imagine that? Listen to this so let's say they do that they do uh let's say we do that they do power two they do a playoff system throughout the regular season you lose you go to the group of whatever it would be at that group of five and then you play regular season down there how entertaining would that be that'd be pretty fun actually that would be pretty sweet that way it's like a survivor pool

but like in real life like i mean that would be pretty sick that would be pretty sick and again i just god i just i mean like fuck go back in time i wanted the ohio state lU matchup. Like, I don't think – like, there would have been so many dang athletes, like just athletes on the field. Like, I just feel like we all got – I just feel like we all jumped of a matchup that should have happened. I think it was really great that Ohio State lost. Contrary to – You all probably hate me saying that, I know, but it's like, how did you say that?

I hate Clemson. So how you all hate Ohio State is like I despise Clemson. I mean, shit, we watched all those Ohio State athletes go for 50 points on us. So don't think we don't understand that they had Ashley. I mean, I'm with you guys but as a michigan fan i think i have more respect for ohio state than most other michigan fans it's hard not to when they beat us by 30 every freaking year and they just do college football the right way they do college football the right way that's what it's supposed to be oh whoa whoa whoa hold on not saying legally

the right way i'm saying the way that i want to view college football, they do it the right way. The way that Dabo Sweeney brings these guys to fucking Clemson, South Carolina, how does Urban Meyer and Ryan Day bring people to Columbus fucking Ohio? It's even worse. I'd much rather be in South Carolina where it's crispy 81 than Columbus, Ohio when it's 22. Like, he's paying more for his guys. I don't know if there's any baptism there because Dabo is like the second coming of Jesus Christ. Oh, my God.

That's too much. Every summer I see him baptizing his players. And they part well. And I'm just like, this is a joke. Like, this is – I mean, again, I just – I can't believe it. They're dancing in the track while they're drying off. He's a used car salesman.

I mean, it's just – it's – All right, all right. We've got them two worked up. Kalen, we'll go to you. Let's get your take on sec football oh yeah honestly i jack did a great job picking through each individual team there i mean yeah teams like arkansas like i don't really care kentucky i mean i feel like kentucky has a good year like every once in a while and it's like a good year for them right like maybe which means like they got into the top 20 or something yeah maybe they won eight games yeah which is good for them like i'm not

taking it away uh seems like missouri like i don't i don't care like whatever i think i'm listening i gotta grab another beer man this is too fun go for it go for it. Vanderbilt, like, I don't think I've ever heard, like, a good thing about Vanderbilt football. I don't know. Literally never. Do you remember when they were, what was it? They were 3-0. I don't remember when Vanderbilt was 3-0.

I'll double it up for this one. Do you remember when Vanderbilt was, was what 3-0 or 4-0 I think it was last year and they were going in to play Bama and that really high pitched lineman for Vandy was like talking shit saying we want Bama and they came into Vandy and just got a 50

oh my god that was a beautiful sight so 2007 quick Vandy story Gamecocks are ranked 6th in the nation 6th in the nation God, that was a beautiful sight. So 2007, quick Vandy story. Game Talks are ranked sixth in the nation. Sixth in the nation. Nooner game, number six in the nation. Vandy coming to town. We're talking ass-thumping, like ready to go top five.

Vandy strolls into town, puts us in a heartbreak we lose 14 to 10 so I don't even think they won a game that year this is why I was still in college too and like just talk about just a shit show after the game like I mean it was like there wasn't excitement like burning down cars there was like burned down cars like did we just lose to vandy like this is insane and we lose the rest of the games we literally lose out we go six and six and vandy like started oh yeah and vandy did that to us it's vandy's fault i'm glad i'm glad to know that you don't hold grudges like you you would never be like oh 13 years later like I'm still losing sleep over these things. No, uh-uh.

No, I'll never forget it. Nooner. God damn Nooner. The guys are probably fucking out till 4 in the morning on Friday. Oh, I literally, I've only missed like one kickoff in my life, and I don't think it was that game. I know the game I missed, and I missed it by like one minute. I was so pissed. It was a Tennessee game

my senior year. That Vandy game. That's just one you never forget. You never forget that one. Keep it going, Caitlin. I didn't mean to cut you off. No, you're good. That was a great story.

Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt yeah whatever vanderbilt they're on an island somewhere playing against what's a fucking commodore nobody even knows put them in the pack 10 bug them uh texas a&m jimbo fisher like i don't that team just doesn't make any sense to me i'm like i don't know how I don't know how they're not just killing it. Whatever. Texas A&M. Tennessee. Jack, I know you said 2-0. Fighting Peyton Manning. When have they done something since Peyton Manning?

I bet against them this weekend because I was just assuming it's a classic like they do well in the beginning, have one good game. I did, too. My Vols, I don't know. I bet I don't have any confidence in them beating Georgia. We might see. We'll never know. Yeah, we'll see.

Ole Miss at the Land Trophy. Yeah, I'm saying that because we lost to the Vols, right? Of course I have to pipe them up. Right, yeah. They're going to win the Nettie. Come on, they beat South Carolina. We lost to the two national championship teams at the start of the season. We're winning the rest.

We're going cockspot 90 the whole way. We're going 8-2. Of course we're going to win our national champions. That's a true Michigan fan right there. We should move to the north. So true. So true. that's a true michigan fan right there but basically i i'm not i'm not even going to go through the rest of the teams because i'm pretty much going to say the same thing jack said but overall i mean i feel like the sec is is i don't want to say stronger than the big 10 but i do think that they are extremely talented and the speed is the part where i i see the huge difference so you're 100 right like when michigan played alabama i was like

like first play our fastest player on the field just got blown up and touched down immediately so like the speed is definitely the biggest difference to me between the sec and the big 10 uh cox by 90 there we go hammer the cox and hammer them i'll i'll give my take too i'm i won't go through the uh through all the teams but i feel like it's it's it used to be the size, right? It used to be that the SEC got the big dudes. It was always, you know, but now it seems to be the speed, which it does seem that only Ohio State can keep up with. And so I do, I think that bodes well for Michigan a little bit. You know, obviously you still have to be better at a lot of different positions but michigan's adding speed to nearly every position you know the the wide

receiver and especially on offense everybody's got speed um but don brown i mean don brown has said for the past five years that his defense is always the fastest it's been and that's our d coordinator and so it's like it's classic it's been and that's our d coordinator and so it's like it's classic it's just like he's feeding he's feeding into it and we've had right uh devon bush devon bush was incredibly fast he's playing well uh for the steelers what's that cam mcgrone i mean he's fast linebacker absolutely one guy we one guy. I think we've got some fast guys. But I just think that it's like this whole Big Ten versus SEC thing, you kick our ass every year in all the bowl games, right?

It always goes to the SEC in the bowl games. And I don't know why that is. I think there's a bit of it that it's like oh you know they are more talented but there's also a part that's like they care more these guys the sec cares a lot more what what's the thing it just means more the sec it just it just means more so for for for these fans, it does mean more. But for us, for these nine and three, it just means more, baby. You're just wrong, though.

It's just so funny how simple of a phrase that is, but so correct. There's no way to describe it. There's no way to explain why it means more way to like explain why it means more it just means more it just means more baby you know it just means more and so we've got these like you talked about these nine and three teams that are like by the end of the season they're out of they're out of competition for the for the you know college football playoff for the big 10 title and they're like fuck it it's over you know and that they go into the the bowl games and they're like fuck it but these sec sec teams are like no this is our last chance this is our you know all this stuff so i think you know and again i all right and so this is my take. I do think, again, you all are a little top-heavy, right? Like you've got –

We've got one team, dude. There's one team, and it's our rival, and it sucks. A little top-heavy. I think – so, again, this is just my opinion. Looking at who you all – like your bottom feeders, right? Like I think your bottom feeders are worse than our bottom feeders. Like I think that maybe Vandy's like probably know probably the worst of the worst but like and then arkansas but any other team outside of that like you're getting a match like every single week weekend and week out yeah so the fact of

the matter is like even our middle of the tier game or middle of-pack game might still give what could have been for you all like a tough test. And this is nothing against you all. It's just the fact that, like, I look at some of these teams, like Mississippi State, you know, again, they have Mike Leach. But in years past, they had Dan Mullen with Dak Prescott. They're still going 9-3, 8-4. And nobody's talking big about them.

It's because they had to play in LSU and Alabama. Like they got hard ass games. They're playing a Florida or Georgia from the cross rivalry. So I'm just looking at like bottom tier team wise. Like if I'm looking at like a Rutgers and then look at the bottom half, honestly, I think it's, it goes even to the bottom half honestly i think it's it goes even to the bottom halves like if you go to the missouris uh the you know those teams you call us a bottom half you know but i think we're still giving people a good run for their like that bowl game a couple years ago right

you all were what nine and three coming into that like we're eight and four but you know it was it was like a last second it wasn't a last second, but it was like a win in the fourth quarter. Right. Like, we were a middle-of-the-pack SEC team. Like, I think we finished seventh or eighth in the SEC, and that year I think, what, y'all were third? Probably third in the Big Ten with a nine and three? I think that was Brandon Peters.

Brandon Peters was quarterback. So I think we were eight and four going into that game, and then we finished 8-5. But we were, I don't know where, but we were middle of the road. Yeah, we were middle of the pack. So it's just like I think that that's where I just look at it like just from a standpoint of like week in and week out, and I think this is what the SEC always says, right?

It just means more. But that, like literally if we played a nine, 10 game conference schedule, like there's a team weekend and week out, like an Ole Miss rebel team could beat you, could beat anybody on our schedule on any given day. Right. It's like any given Sunday it can happen. And like,

I don't know if I'm looking at the big 10, could you say that happens with like, could a Rutgers beat somebody on any given day? And then maybe they could, but you know I don't think so even like I'll be honest like now and this is not even not even me like talking shit about Michigan State because I know I do that a lot but like MSU now probably is going to go out and be you know an underdog to nearly every team this year and it's just like so like these teams that

have i feel like it's like you guys have the kentuckys that have like they they regurgitate like every four or five years and have a solid team but like big 10 teams that have like 10 year droughts kind of when they they'll have some good ones and then they have like 10-year droughts. They'll have some good ones, and then they go down for like 10 years instead of the four or five. Speaking of droughts, all right. This is actually a pretty good story. We're playing. This is I am sophomore in college, so 2007 Outback Bowl, back in Ybor City, back just

partying my ass off. Love Ybor City, man. We're staying at the Tahitian Inn with a bunch of my buddies. We're packing like eight guys in a room. I mean, it's just absolutely insane. But we got a nooner against Iowa, and I'll never forget it. We had, like, we had just it was then you all know right it's new year's new year's eve you party your ass off yeah we might have played

through who knows i don't know maybe you know nobody but you get there to the stadium it's like dude i mean you're parking on like a grass field you gotta walk like i felt it felt like 10 miles to the stadium i about passed out even before I got into it. And we're getting in there. We're playing the Iowa Hawkeyes, coached by Kurt Ferens, right? And they're just like Iowa hawking you to death, like hitting the tight end on like a five and out. They're like running backs getting you a nice seven yards.

Before we knew it, we were down like 21 to nothing, 28 to nothing at half. Our Stephen Garcia, our quarterback, was just partying his dick off the night before. I mean, just absolute crap show. But my guys that I stayed with, half of them were still passed out in the room. They didn't make it to the game. I think I made it to the game with three guys. And before you know it, we left at halftime. We were getting our ass beat so bad and jumped back in bed with them and just watched the ass beating on the second half it was uh it was a time to remember but

i got big tinned that noon with iowa like that was just a straight big 10 right there just like oh it was tough it was so tough sometimes the big 10 will bite you if i take anything from this call i'm gonna start calling noon kickoffs nooners. I love that. I love that term. Why I've never heard it before is amazing to me, but damn, I'm taking that. I don't know why that's not a thing everywhere, but I've never said it.

Like, oh, we got a nooner, but now 100% we got a nooner. You just got to reach to it. You just got a nooner. And then we'll be drinking high noons. High noons at noon? Dude, I got a Nooner. And then we'll be drinking High Noons. High Noons at noon? Dude, I got... I don't know. I got shit-faced off some High Noons.

I think I was drinking Watermelon High Noon and I just got... Maybe they'll use this as an ad, but I just got obliterated. obliterated off high noon watermelon. And I had a damn good time doing it. And it was a blast. Love it.

And we had a nooner. We had a nooner that week. You know, so you got to drink high nooners and nooners. What are, what are, we haven't even asked this yet. What are crowds like at South Carolina right now? What's 25% or something? 25%. So I went to our opening game against Tennessee,

got season tickets for football and basketball. We were talking a little bit before. Hey, I'm going to be a basketball, Michigan, you know, Hey, that's a,

we might have to get back on and talk some basketball here. When season kicks start, you got Frank. What's his name? The big baby. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. Frank Martin. Final four Cox name? Frank Martin, baby. Oh, yeah. Hell, yeah, Frank Martin. Final four cocks a couple years ago, baby.

I'll live my hat on that forever. That's true. That's true. Hey, we got a couple final fours, too, so don't be – Oh, you sure do. I would love to see a Jawan Howard versus Frank Martin because they're both like 7'2". That would be nice.

That's like security guards, like bouncers, you know, like battling it out. Frank Martin's got the broadest shoulder. Oh, my God. Nobody has ever lived. All right. So I'll tell you. So at the stadium, and this is nice. I will tell you, if you all get down to Columbia and South Carolina,

we just did a $22 million renovation on our stadium too, so adding a lot more suites. So my season tickets ended up – you're still sitting out, and I got shots right in the end zone. So I'm like literally I split the goalposts. But we did club level for those now. So you go back inside, you got AC. They're serving liquor drinks now.

They're serving beers. And we were losing Tennessee at that point by a little bit more than i thought we were going to be and i'd hammered the line so i was you know vodka water about order but i'll tell you this there was a lot of cock fans screaming loud like screaming loud and it was uh i think we ended up with 18 18 19 000 people in the stands hell of a good time like because and i'll tell you this and like again obviously you know covid you know safety is first right whatever for people be safe but the people that showed up in that stadium are your rowdy screaming cock fans and we were gonna show damn loud like we were so damn loud like it was like people were like was it really that loud in the stadium i was like it was loud as hell like it was a damn good

time so are y'all are y'all our fans y'all get y'all get fans in the stands uh no not right now no come on no don't say that dude y'all see that florida's going full i saw i'm No, don't say that. Dude, y'all see Florida's going full forward. I'm like, please don't get the NCAA football shut down before we can play a game. Please, God. I will tell y'all this, though. So I brought my parents with me to the game. And they're, again, older. But the protocols that went along with it, I thought our athletic department and the

university did an excellent job. You had your tiered times where you could go into the stadium. Again, with it not being 85,000 people, right? And you all are 100. But it's like you still, you could tell the difference. The way they had it spaced out, they had somebody wiping down. Every time you touched a door, there was people at door points to wipe it down and then you're spread out in the stands where you literally like i could have done a 360 cartwheel probably busted my ass i wouldn't

have touched anybody you know so i would just say that like i i felt it was it was safe inside there like from how they they set it up. So I think it's unfortunate. You guys tell me y'all don't have fans. There's absolutely a way to socially distance in y'all's big house, right? The big house. There's a way to socially distance and get some people in there. For sure. Hey, you know what?

I'm going to pump your audio into President Schlissel's office so that he allows us in there. I'll tell him. I'm going to pump your audio into President Schlissel's office. He allows us in there. I'll tell him. I mean, again, this is like, I literally, we were walking in there with my parents. And again, you get worried with people that are, you know, again, a little bit older, right? The exposure's there. But like, I was like, at the end of the game, and I was still pissed we lost. But I was like, I felt comfortable bringing them to that game knowing like,

that at the end of the day, like the day, they provided a safe environment all around in regards to where you sat, touching door handles, leaving bathrooms. They did everything the right way. No different than if you were going to a restaurant or a bar or leaving your house to go somewhere. And I thought that's what makes the most sense to me is, you know, I'm not sure if you all have restaurants or bars opened up. And if you do, it ultimately is exactly how it's treated. You're spaced before you get your ticket scanned in. You're spaced all around the stadium.

Like you're really not touching anybody. You're not interacting with anybody except the people you sit with. So that just sucks, man. The big house, I mean, the big house so that just sucks man the big house i mean the big house with no fans isn't the big house it is it's tough it's like i don't know what it's going to be a weird feeling but we're going to tailgate anyway so i mean we're we're going to tailgate trust me we'll for any nooners that we've got we'll be drunk by noon don't you worry about that but let's uh let's move it on to our zero to 90 so do you have a

have an idea of what this is you're gonna are you hitting me like a Dave Portnoy, like pizza slice deal or what? It's a rookie call. Rookie call. Rookie score over there. No. So what we've got is, so it's just usually, you know, if it's us three, it's 90 seconds long. So we go zero to 90.

Each of us gets 30 seconds. But we'll give you an honorary 30 seconds here, obviously. All right. There we go. So just give kind of, you know, whether it's a hot take or something funny you want to say or something you want to say about, you know, shout out to the fans, shout out to the listeners, whatever you want to say here. You get 30 seconds. So we'll go first, and we'll give you a little taste of what we've got going.

Oh, I like that. I like that. I love it. All right. Perfect. We drinking the beer while we're saying it, too, or what? You got to drink while you're saying it. All right, how about this?

Y'all go, and whoever else is still chugging until they stop their 30 seconds. Oh, that's a great idea. We should have been doing that. That would be badass. I mean, that would be, I mean, I'm not telling you what to do, but that's, I'll be doing it. That's obviously what we're going to do from now on. So, all right, who wants to start here? I'm ready.

I do need to know, Jeff, what's the line for the Cox game this weekend? I want to say it's sitting around 12.5, 13, last I saw it. Okay, all right, I'm ready. All right, Jack, your 0-90 starts now. All right. We got Cox by 90 on. We got Shawmier Titties. Special shout out. I'm going to say

Way over on the cover there.'re gonna cover plus seven go cop i love it oh let's go i mean we're obviously cox fans now right like yes oh yeah we're texting each other after the noon or cox 90.

I bought a little hot iron from Michael's and literally have just been creating these badass hats. It's been awesome, man. This is very sweet.

We might have to do the same. Well, I was looking at it. We really should. Because I was looking at it. I was like, how the hell is he making these? Y'all can do blue by 90. I don't know what y'all's hashtag is. Is it BB90?

We can do BB90 or BX90. Y'all can do BB90 and then big blue by 90. Or blue by 90. Love it. We got to get some gear.

We're going to need jackets like winter coats by the time we start playing. You're going to need thermals.

I don't want to finish you off here, but I know you're shaming your titties. You only come on the titties, you know. I hope y'all don't have kids listening to this. I would be really bad. I feel bad. We probably do. All our

13-year-old fans we got out there. They're going to be like, they're going to be like, Sean Mertiz was finishing off Roe, and then he's like, I don't know what happened. Yeah. Oh, my goodness.
