Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, it's us The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast?
Starting point is 00:00:09 Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.
Starting point is 00:00:27 We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from. some SNL late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and Friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, S&L's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on. A Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud.
Starting point is 00:01:15 But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the Aihar Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to Bet the Bus, where we talk about the biggest college football games on the biggest stage. It is bowl season, boys, and a little fun fact. We're going to be talking Barstall Bowl, Cotton Bowl, and the New Year 6 bowls. And a little history on the New Year 6 and why it was coined that term.
Starting point is 00:01:46 The year 2013, the date January 1st, January 1, 2013 in Orlando, Florida, the Capital 1 Bowl, 70,000 loud and proud. The Georgia Bulldogs led the Nebraska Cornhuskers just by a few. points. They lined up the formation, Trips Far Gun. For those who don't know, that's where the running back is offset in the shotgun formation away from the tight end. The X was nasty. What that means is the X had a cut split closer to the line of scrimmage. Trips Far Gun, X nasty. There was a 100% tendency rate on that formation. That tendency, H slip screen. Once the X releases underneath right away, boom, the middle linebacker. I'm not going to say his name yet. The middle linebacker knows this is the H slip screen.
Starting point is 00:02:29 This young man slipped the X, ran the route for the running back, picked it off, took it to the house for a pick six, and that is why they call it the New Year 6. That is why they call it the New Year 6. Do you know who that gentleman was, Taylor? Will Compton. Will the dog Compton.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Welcome to Bet the Bus. Joined as always, my boy in the back, Joey Parley. He is. He might look malnourced on the outside, but he is stuffed like a piggy bank on the inside. He is your one-stop shot for all things gambling. You got a question.
Starting point is 00:02:58 He's got an answer. answer. You need advice? He's got a quote. You need a loan? Then your broke ass came to the wrong place because dead is for pussies. Next to him, Jackie Sliffs, also known as the slip whisperer. He reads the board better than a Dr. Seuss book. If sports betting was his love language, he would be a happily married man versus going on his third divorce for excessive gambling. In front of him is Gary Pockets. Pockets so deep, he carries a few things with him. He carries keys to your retirement, a phone to wire that money direct, and he carries a little extra cash for once that parlay hits this weekend, and he gets a rip on back page a little bit. In front of him,
Starting point is 00:03:36 Mitchie Neutron, the big head himself, he turns these numbers, he turns these numbers on this paper to monies in your 401k. He is also his pronoun preference, he and him, and quote, but I'm also open-minded. That is the team, and also joined special guests. Taylor Louis locks himself. Taylor-Lawat, he hails out of Michigan, massive game that we will get to and talk about Michigan versus Alabama. A bus is divided. We will get into it right after Jack gives us an incredible quote to kick us off for this Bull special. Championship's for one at practice. Easy and simple. I hope to God that these bowl teams have been practicing because it's the last game of the year for you. And if you lose, unless you're Michigan or Alabama, then you
Starting point is 00:04:20 might have two more games. One of these guys are going to go home a winner. One's going to go home loser. Whatever that means. Go to fucking practice. Put your work in. Watch the film and come prepared. Or go home a fucking nerd. I see losers. I see nerds. Leave comments. I would love to do the recap from Championship Weekend, but
Starting point is 00:04:40 it's been so long. I can't remember. All I remember is that I went 5 and 1. Yeah, it's not a big deal. We don't have to talk about it. Any questions, though, about me being 5 and 1? Or we... It sounds like we should tail you. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Or tell what it's in your heart.
Starting point is 00:04:56 And yeah. So with that being said, one last show for the full year, last bet the bus. Let's go undefeated. Hopefully the SEC takes everything. So yeah, let's run that. Let's run that board. We will go ahead and get this thing jumping with the Barstall Bowl. Toledo versus Wyoming.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Wyoming is favored by three and a half. Toledo is 0 and 5 against the spread in their last five bowl games. Toledo is 9 and 2 against the spread in their last 11 games that are 0 and 4 against the spread this season. against teams with a winning record. Toledo is also 5 and 12 against the spread in their last 17. This is not. This is not.
Starting point is 00:05:30 We had an intro and then we read Mitch's stats on the show. That's what we do. Go ahead. You know, kicking that off, Wyoming is 8 and 3 against the spread this season and won their last two games by a combined 84 to 14. That is your data by Mitchie Neutron. Let's start with JP. Where are you going for the Barstil, Bow, out in Arizona?
Starting point is 00:05:47 You already know where I'm rolling, man. Toledo. I'm with Toledo every single week. And that's not going to change during both seasons. It doesn't look good if you're with Toledo every week. They were in the Mac Championship. They're in the bowl game, aren't they? They lost the Mac Championship.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Yeah, but they were in the Mac Championship. They were in the bowl game. I went at least 500 with Toledo all year. Okay. Next question. Jack, where you going? I will be going opposite with Wyoming. What are they?
Starting point is 00:06:13 The Westermasker. The Cowboys. Yee-ha. Cowboys, minus three and a half. I'm with you. I'm going Wyoming as well. Not a lot of. Just that very negative data on Toledo.
Starting point is 00:06:26 At first I thought Wyoming was playing Tulane, and this was going to be an absolute bloodbath, but then I realized Tulane is not Toledo. And for that simple fact, I am now going Wyoming. They're both on different parts of the country, for sure, ones in the south and ones in the north. Listen, last year we went to the Arizona Bowl. Wyoming was at that bowl,
Starting point is 00:06:42 and they got upset by the Ohio Bobcats at that time. You know those boys. That's their Super Bowl in that situation. Wyoming has focused this entire year on getting back to the Arizona Bowl, getting back to Tucson and putting a stamp on a championship bowl, whatever the hell that is. Revenge game. Revenge game. Their coach, after 42 years of being in the game, late nights, early mornings, is hanging up the whistle after this game. The Wyoming Cowboys have so much more to play for than the Toledo Rockets. Wyoming is coming to take what's theirs.
Starting point is 00:07:15 And if you're worried about these boys going in Tucson, going out, having a good time, spoiler, there ain't shit in Tucson. It's a crappy school down there and you're near the board. Do you want to have fun? Go about 30 minutes south. Then you're having fiestas and having a great time. But until then, I got Wyoming. Got a little cop. And who was the O. Lyman for Wyoming last year that had the Tits McGee or something like that?
Starting point is 00:07:37 Tis McGee. I don't think it was actually, but it was Titsworth. Titsworth, yeah. He was about the boys too. Yeah, he was about the boys and he told us he was selling merch. Yeah. All right. Next game, the Cotton Bowl.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Mizzou versus Ohio State. Ohio State is favored minus one. one and a half. Missou, here's the data. Mizzu's eight and four against the spread this season and four one against the spread as an underdog. Ohio State is six, five, and one against the spread this season. Ohio State will also be without Kyle McCord, possibly their top three running backs,
Starting point is 00:08:07 and also Marvin Harrison Jr. and Julian Fleming. Ohio State's probably going to be without a lot of cats, so this is an opportunity for Mizzou. I think Mizzu is excited to go to this bowl, whereas Ohio State, it feels more like an obligation to go to this bowl. Where are we going? Mitchie Neutron, the Fairweather fan himself. I, what you said right there about Ohio State feeling like they have to go to this game,
Starting point is 00:08:29 whereas Missouri wants to, I agree with that because half their team is missing. But this is going to be a tune-up game for next year. Like we're going to see, like, all right, let's see what these boys are made of. A tune-up game for next year. Not a tune-up game. Like an extended spring ball. Let's tune up six months before the next season, boys. Let's see how we're feeling.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Tune up was a wrong, it was the wrong word for it. Like, a show-up game. case for what next season could look like because I just don't like. Another way to say it. All of these guys are gone. I'm still going to ride with Ohio State, but I'm nervous that all of these, all of their weapons on offense are not playing. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:06 As a fan, who is the quarterback that's going to play in this game? No idea. Are you crazy? Devin Brown from Arizona, Gilbert, Arizona. Ended up in Utah at the end. There was actually in a fight for the starting job against Kyle McCord. until he had a little fingee issue in Springball, ends up losing that.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Kyle McCourt goes 11 and 1 on a team that was looked at as possibly a national champion contender. What does he do? He shows his character. He answers the transfer portal and goes to a school where their mascot is a fruit.
Starting point is 00:09:37 It's disgusting. These guys, Devin Brown, he's going to be all right. Marvin Harrison, Jr. is talking about staying for another year. I think he's psychotic doing that if he does. He should absolutely go to the NFL because you don't know how much you have on the tires, but it shows that kind of leadership
Starting point is 00:09:51 and that wide receiver. I think Ohio State has a big opportunity here. They got speed. Yeah, Missouri, they're a good ball club. They won a lot of games they shouldn't have. Tennessee, they mop the floor with Tennessee. I wanted Tennessee to win that game, but unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:10:02 that was the situation. But coming from a better conference, Ohio State, I'm taking Ohio State in this one minus one and a half. You're taking Ohio State, too. I think the Devin Brown, I think, like, Ohio State, the talent in the depth roster like that has against Missouri, like this isn't the middle of the pack SEC. Like, this is actually an elite,
Starting point is 00:10:22 program, even though they're not in the playoff. I think they're more of a reload group. And I think Devin Brown does a good job. You see a lot of of the backup quarterbacks make a lot of shine, like when they get their debut in the bowl game. And I think Ohio State's a spot where that happens. I'm taking Ohio State minus one and a half. I just don't like the inexperience. How many games did he play in this year?
Starting point is 00:10:42 Devin Brown? Yeah. I think like three or four. He played in 11. Played 11 games. All right. Maybe that sucks. But that's a tough. That's a tough showing. for you. Yeah. That's all right. Yeah, you'll get Penn State.
Starting point is 00:11:00 We'll talk about Penn State. Does anybody else want to comment on Missouri? Yeah, you know where the boys are going. Mazoo. Yeah, Missouri, I'm so confused. I didn't know Taylor was Ohio State fan. Not Ohio State fan. I'm here to make money, folks.
Starting point is 00:11:13 I'm here to make money. Ohio State was one team away, one game away, from going to the national championship. Obviously, they had to play the best team in college football history, so unfortunately didn't work out with them. But I believe Ohio State is going to win this. This is going to be a big year for the Big Ten. Missouri. Two words.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Step cousin. What do you mean by that? Earlier this year, I actually called them, I actually called Missouri the ugly step cousin of the SEC, and I'm here to formally apologize to all my Missouri fans out there. But you know the one thing about an ugly step cousin? In the beginning of your life, it might be ugly, but by the end of your season,
Starting point is 00:11:53 aka your formidable years as a teen, that ugly step cousins gotten a little busty, gotten a little cute. All of a sudden, she's looking more just like a friend than a step cousin. And for that reason, I'm riding with Missouri. Thank you. All right. What's the next game we're going to go to? The Peach Bowl, right?
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yes, Peach Bowl. Ole Miss v. Penn State. Penn State is currently favored minus three and a half. It started out the line opened at two and a half and hours, moved up to three and a half. A lot of people favoring Penn State here. Penn State is 9 and 3 against a spread. Ole Miss is 7, 4 and 1. Lane Kiffin is 1 and 2 in bowl games at Ole Miss.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Penn State's defense is playing against an explosive Ole Miss offense. Penn State's defense ranks one in yards per game, yards per play, sacks per game, total sacks, and is only allowing 11.4 points per game. Mitch, fan of Penn State as well. Let's see if you know a little bit about this ball club. Where are you going? Penn State versus Ole Miss. What was it spreading?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Three and a half Penn State. I'm going to go Oh my I have no idea I think Penn State's defense is without Chop Robinson Who's like going to be a top 10 pick
Starting point is 00:13:05 At Drew Aller just in the two games That he's played against good teams Has just kind of not been it But uh I think Ole Miss is a good team Yeah That's a good ball club down there
Starting point is 00:13:16 I think it's a good ball club down there Mississippi And the rebels are going to take it away from Penn State Yeah I do I think you're wrong Mitch I think you're wrong you're taking a You're taking Ole Miss. Penn State, their defense is phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Yeah, you're right. Their quarterback plays shitty against good teams. I don't think Ole Miss is that good of a team. This is going to be a ground and pound type of game. Franklin needs to get his ass back on track if he wants to keep his ass in Penn State. So I think they're going to run the ball quite a bit and they're going to play stellar defense. They're going to walk away from this game. They're going to cover the spread, but it's going to be a low scoring game.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Boys. I want to say also, you talk about Coach Franklin, they fired the O.C. right after the Michigan game, right? And they've been putting up points since then. So, yeah, I like Penn State. as well. I think Ole Miss, like Elaine Kiffin vibe, they're not built for bowl games. One and two in bowl games, I think they're more excited about the recruiting classes that they have coming in. They're on the next year. They hope they put out a good product in the bowl game,
Starting point is 00:14:05 but I think Penn State does. I think Penn State does cover. Where are you guys going in the back? Hotty, Tottie, SEC all the way. Fuck Penn State. Penn State's defensive coordinator also just became the head coach of Duke, Manny Diaz, so he will not be there. Well, you know, he was never the same after that stupid thing he did before the Michigan game. That, man, that would have played off well. That would have been huge. I would have been a massive win for him. Gee, you're going SEC as well?
Starting point is 00:14:28 Of course. It's, yeah. Now that I'm, it is SEC versus Big Ten, it, I just don't know how to beg you sometimes, Mitch. No homo. Orange Bowl. What we got? Orange ball, baby. Here you go.
Starting point is 00:14:41 Is it orange or is a citrus? Citrus. Oh, it's Citrus. Citrus. Iowa versus Tennessee. Tennessee favored minus seven and a half. What's his name? Joe Milton is not playing.
Starting point is 00:14:51 Joe Milton is going to the league. He is not playing. Tennessee has struggled in a later part of the season, losing two of their last five games. Iowa's defense is top five in scoring defense, yards allowed and yards per play. They're also, I think, without their running back as well, right? Tennessee. Jalen Wright, who's a stud. Stud. Where you, Jack, go ahead, talk about this game. It's very simple, and it's VOLS-GoVals Go. It's Big Ten. You guys were in the Big Ten Championship, Iowa. That's disgusting that Iowa made to the Big Ten Championship. It speaks level. of the Big Ten, it speaks levels to Michigan, probably already losing to Alabama. I don't know. Tennessee, go ahead and shift that lineup to minus 14 because it is going to be an absolute ass beating. Nico time. He's getting the first start. Now that's it.
Starting point is 00:15:39 Really rounded it off well there, Jackie. Listen, Iowa is in the Big Ten West. It's one of the more competitive divisions than all the Power Five conferences. I will say this about Iowa. Their defense is phenomenal. Their offense is abysmal. Their offense is tailored around by a guy with his titty's hanging out of his shoulder pads. You can literally see the nipples popping out of the jersey. We got a big problem there. They can't push the ball down the field at all because he those absolute muffins out there in the field.
Starting point is 00:16:03 I believe Tennessee is going to win this game. I believe they're going to win it by more than 14 points as well. So with that, I'll stand with you. Go vals. Everyone knows I'm a go big orange type of guy. And although Tennessee's in the weaker conference, Tennessee's going to walk away with this game, the victor. That don't make sense.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Are you for a loop there, huh, Jay? It would have been stupid to take Iowa. It's called an abusive relationship. I was hoping he would. I want Tennessee to win. I don't know if they win by more than seven and a half. Wow. Tennessee has played against top 20 defenses this season.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Those scores, they have scored 20 against Bama, 13 against A&M, and 10 against Georgia. For whatever fucking reason, I will find a way to keep games close. I do think Tennessee wins. I want, on record, I want Tennessee to win this game. But if I'm gambling and betting on this game, without your guys' running back and everything else. I'm adept at running back, but we'll get there.
Starting point is 00:16:53 I feel that. I do feel like I was a cockroach team, though. It's very hard to get rid of them. So I'm going to go Iowa. I'm going to go Iowa plus seven and a half. Again, Tennessee wins. I think Iowa covers some way somehow. I don't know how they do it.
Starting point is 00:17:07 They've done it all year long. Iowa probably won't score a point in this game. And it'll probably be, they'll probably win three to nothing or six to nothing. What? It could very well be that. Things have happened. It's different up north, dude.
Starting point is 00:17:18 It is different up north. Gritty ball. Games being played down south, though. Great point. Moving on to the Sugar Bowl. Wait, we need my SEC guys. Oh, yeah, that's right. Well, they're going.
Starting point is 00:17:31 They're going to. Yeah, it's GBO. Yeah. GBO. It's not even going to be close. Iowa, the, it's ball is different up north because ball is bad up north. It's the only reason Iowa is in the Big Ten championship. Go off.
Starting point is 00:17:44 That's, I don't know what else to say about it. They're trash. I should just said go off before the first comment. All right, Mitch, are you going to go? Iowa getting blown out would be completely fine. with me. I think that would, that would be awesome because... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just, for whatever reason, they've, they've just done so many fucking, uh, they've done so many crazy, what?
Starting point is 00:18:04 Go ahead, no, go ahead. Go ahead. You're in flow state. Oh, GBO, you said GBO before GBR? I mean, everybody knows where I stand with the big red. Yeah, I hope, I do hope Iowa gets blown out, but I'm putting my money on Iowa, plus seven and a half. Where we at? Sugar Bowl. The Orange Bowl. Orange Bowl. Hang on, we got all these. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there we are. The Orange Bowl, Georgia versus Florida State. Florida State is not favored in this game.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Georgia is favored minus 16 and a half. Obviously, FSU, Florida State will be without Jordan Travis and are down to their third string quarterback. The entire reason why they didn't make it to the college football playoff. The line opened up at 14, but it's since gone up to 16 and a half. Everybody thinks Georgia's going to blow this ball club out. Georgia is just 3 and 10.
Starting point is 00:18:47 Listen to this now. 3 and 10 against the spread this season. Florida State will also be without its top three wide receivers as all of them have declared and opted out of the game. I'm going to go Georgia. The three wide receivers and on their third string quarterback, if the three receivers are still playing, I would take Florida State because I think that this is clearly their national championship game.
Starting point is 00:19:08 They win this game. They print off, you know, they create and build their own rings as national champions, undefeated players. But I just don't think that they have the cats to pull it off against Georgia. But I guess they don't need to. If we're gambling here, they only need to cover. Then 16 and a half, but I'm going to go Georgia. Georgia minus 16 and a half.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Taylor, where are you going? Yeah, I feel like in this situation with their third string quarterback, the wide receivers being out, this is a statement game for Georgia saying you guys should have put us in the playoffs. They're going to win this game by more than 21 points. Florida states can have the unfortunate situation where people are going to say, I told you so. Yeah, you guys have been mad for a month and now you get put back in your place. It's unfortunate what happened to Florida State.
Starting point is 00:19:47 We're all upset. If you're undefeated, we would love for you to be in there. But because the talent has been hurt, it is what it is, baby. You're going to find it against the Bulldogs. Listen, I hope Florida State, if you guys win, I'll be happy for you. Yeah. It would be a great story. It'll be fun conversation.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Yeah. Yeah. Nothing to do with where I'll put my money, though. JP, where are you going, Georgia, Florida State? I would love to see Florida State win, but I think Georgia is going to blow them out. Jack? Yeah, same with JP. I'm with JP, Georgia, but it'd be fun to see him still pull it out.
Starting point is 00:20:18 It doesn't seem like they're mad. It seems like they're mad. It seems like they've given up. They're trying to get out of the ACC now entirely. They're trying to leave. They're trying to sue. They're trying to do all the things. I, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Dogs. We all going dogs? Anybody got Florida State covering? Hell no. All right, let's get to the fun games here. Sugar Bowl to kick it off before we get into the game of the week. Sugar Bowl, Texas favored minus four and a half against Washington. Texas and Washington, one little history fact here.
Starting point is 00:20:47 They played against each other last year in the Alamo Bowl. where Washington won that game. Texas has won their last three games by a combined 88 points since Quinn Ewer's got back in the lineup. Texas is 4-1-again-again against ranked opponents and 6-1 when a neutral-site game is happening. Washington, 5-0 against ranked opponents and a 6-0 record in road neutral-site games as well. Who wants to kick this one off?
Starting point is 00:21:12 Jack. Last game for Texas to their SEC, so I'm just going to go ahead and give them the the SEC love and it's horns of Texas. Where are we going? I think Texas is going to win this. When you're up in the Pacific Northwest, you're more focused about decriminalizing major drugs than you are on football.
Starting point is 00:21:30 That's the issue we got going on up there. The PAC 12 is now dissolving. It's really nothing. This is a nice tip of the cap saying, hey, congratulations, Washington. You guys are in here. Your office line won the Joe Moore Award. They are going to be very disappointed
Starting point is 00:21:44 when it comes to the sugarboard down in New East, New Orleans. Louisiana, Nalans. Nalins. Nalans. I got Texas minus four and a half. This might be the second lock of the week. This might be the Texas-Alabama matchup we've been looking for.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I think Texas is motivated. I think Sark, with those weapons on offense, I think Texas is built similar to Oregon. We all thought Oregon would win that game in the Pac-12 title. They have the guys up front. They have the trenches in their favor. I think Sark,
Starting point is 00:22:14 with that much preparation with Quinn Ewers and all the talent that they have on offense, I think that they put up lot of points against Washington, and I think their defense does enough to keep a penics at bay. I'm going Texas minus four and a half because I would love to see them make it to the national title game. Unfortunately, horns up. JP, you're going Washington.
Starting point is 00:22:35 For the exact reason you just said, you said Texas looks a lot like Oregon. Washington beat Oregon twice this year. Yeah. And I'm tired of betting against Washington. They've been underdog so many times this year, and they've, won every single time. And I'm not sure. I don't even know why I bet against them when I was.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So I got a ride with Washington. Undefeated as an underdog. Yeah, undefeated as an underdog. Garrett, do you want Texas to win, Garrett, so you can see a rematch with them in your cousin? This one is tough for sure. Because I would love to see a rematch. I think it would be the best game you could possibly ask for.
Starting point is 00:23:14 But it comes down to the quarterback for me. And I think Michael Pinnick's will have a little more composure than Quinn Ewers, but Quinn Ewers has crazy well. weapons. So it's a tough one for me. I'm going to go Washington. I don't love it, but I'm going to go Washington. Yeah. No, I love it. I love that we're, I love that we're kind of split on that way. Let me ask a quick question, Garrett, in your mind of where you think this college football playoff is going to go, would you like to see Washington, Alabama or you want to see Texas, Alabama? Don't matter. Don't matter. It's as long as Alabama's in it. You are
Starting point is 00:23:42 going to be disappointed from the first. Here we go. The finale. Dun, done. The main event of the evening. The Rose Bowl. Alabama versus Michigan. Michigan is favored by minus one and a half. I think the line might have opened up. What, minus one, went to two at one point, now it's back down to one and a half. Michigan is 0 and 2 in the college football playoff
Starting point is 00:24:05 under Coach Harbaugh and an overall bowl record of 2 and 7. The Michigan defense is elite A plus. They rank number one in scoring defense, number two in total defense, number three in turnovers and number four in passing efficiency. Here's a crazy stat for you. brought to us by Mitchie Neutron. Michigan has lost its last six bowl college football playoff games,
Starting point is 00:24:28 eight of its last nine, and 13 of its last 16. Another crazy stat. This is for Alabama. Alabama has won their last game of the year nine times in the last 14 years. And those five losses, three were in the national championship, one against the soon-to-be national champion, Ohio State, and in the Sugar Bowl, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Joe, Jalen Millroll. Okay, we won't say that because now that's all opinion-based. Yeah, it's all opinion-based. Taylor, go ahead and kick this thing off, brother. I want to start by saying, I respect Alabama. I like Alabama. I like Nick Saban. I think you guys did an amazing job in the 2000.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Since Nick Saban's been there, you guys have been an elite conference. Now, we're headed over to Pasadena. Michigan made this game what it is in the past. And I know we sit there and talk about the past all the time with Michigan. Michigan is 2 and 7 in bowl games or 0-2 in college football playoffs. You've read all the stats. The last whatever, how many years,
Starting point is 00:25:20 we've only won so many bowl games. Let me give you another stat. Until three years ago, we only beat Ohio State two at the last 20 times. And now we beat Ohio State three years in a row. We got guys that have experienced going to the college football playoff who decided not to go to the NFL that are here for one reason and one reason only. And that is to win the whole entire national championship. Alabama's a stud.
Starting point is 00:25:42 You guys are fantastic. You have five-star recruits coming out the ass every single day. Here's the deal, though. With Jalen Milrow, we're going to stop the run. We're going to contain. We're going to edge walls swarm. They're going to play good, well-put-together defense, and we're going to make him beat us with his arm.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Our defense is elite. Our office does a great job of handling the time of possession. We are going to make this a gritty, bloodbath type of the game. And when we get to that fourth quarter, we're going to have Alabama right where the fuck we want them. And we're going to take that all the way to go see who we play, whether it's Texas or Washington or Texas after that. I got Michigan minus one and a half.
Starting point is 00:26:20 And I believe that is going to be the biggest lock anybody will ever have in their life. How much you're putting on that? I put a couple units on that thing. What's a unit for you? $1,500. You put $3,000 on the Michigan Wolverines? Yes. That seems low.
Starting point is 00:26:34 Well, I'll put more later if you guys want. I think what we're focused on right now is the show, and we can do whatever you want to have to do. Crimson Tide. Needs a phone. Yeah, I'm going to read a quote. Something as simple as being on time is important because it shows that you you care. It shows that it's important to you. It shows that we can trust in you. It shows your
Starting point is 00:26:56 team can trust in you. It's important to pay attention to detail. And the only detail Michigan has paid attention to is when they're cheating. Our ball has missed seven games this year. Yes, you guys have done a good job. I think that coach that you said deserves a job. So I just think this is when the master is ahead of the class. And that's Nick Saven. It's not going to be close. you backed out to wanting to go to Pasadena for a reason. I don't feel like seeing a press box. Games to game.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It's going to be a bloodbath. I do have a question. If they're going to contain Milro, who's going to spy him? Any of our guys. Whoever, all of them. Okay. It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Cool. All right. I'm good. How about that receiver? How about that receiver that says that said what he said? What did he say? He told me what he said.
Starting point is 00:27:57 I'm still trying to figure out with that coach. He said, we said, We like that 100 emoji. We don't like you. We wish you were on the field. If you saw me on the field, brother, it would be the same thing happened in 2012. I locked down whatever defense event I was going against.
Starting point is 00:28:11 What happened in 2012? Until they pulled me because we were going to ask me by so much. But I didn't play on the same team. I told you 2009 to 13 of the dark years. They're like Germany. They don't even acknowledge the 30s and 40s. Some Michigan fans don't acknowledge 2009 and 2012. They don't even fucking acknowledge it, right?
Starting point is 00:28:28 This is not, we could see. here and get mad or say whatever about what I played. We played, when I played Michigan, we were fucking garbage. This is a different team. This is a team that has built to be in the trenches, that has built to play gritty ball. You said yourself, it's going to be a bloodbath. There's only one team coming out of there when it comes to a bloodbath. That's going to be the maze and blue.
Starting point is 00:28:45 How are you guys going to stop Blake Corum? Yeah, who? Oh, come on. Don't disrespect. I don't like that now. I mean, right now it is disrespect. It's game time. It's five days away.
Starting point is 00:28:58 We're good now. Yeah. Just seeing what we got here. Mitch, where are you going? Roll tied. Roll tied. Okay. Where's the boy Jack going?
Starting point is 00:29:15 One question, Taylor. Sir. Did you all plan Sukon when you're in college? What's a Sukon? Sukon these nuts. Roll tied. Where are you going? JP, where are you going?
Starting point is 00:29:47 I don't like to see the bus doing this to Taylor. And I have appreciated Michigan's story arc this year. And as I've seen it now, everybody is going with Alabama except Taylor, and I'll be joining them. I'm rocking with Alabama. I'm going with Tyler Booker specifically. So I'm going to roll tide. You got his quote off the dome? I have it right here.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Quote from Tyler Booker, one of the best old line minutes. in the nation, the standard can only be imitated, not replicated. There would be no Michigan without Alabama. Really, he said Georgia, but for the sake of this conversation. Yeah, I'm taking Bama. I just don't, I think Bama, their trap game happened against Auburn. But since they've been on a run and since they showed up and beat Georgia, like this one will be no different, I think that they're going to be the more details
Starting point is 00:30:49 football team. I do think they both elite coaches, but I like Sabin in the, I like Sabin in the postseason. Love saving in the postseason. Good. I think this could potentially be, which I would hate to see a blowout. Would hate to see it. Would hate to see
Starting point is 00:31:07 No, you wouldn't. I hope that they just win. You would fucking love it. I hope that they just won by seven. Stop doing that because you would love it. I hope that they just won by seven. No, no, no. You would if it didn't go my way. You would love it if it was a blowout. You would live for it. Backtrack
Starting point is 00:31:23 Backtrack to Will Gailene. Yes, I might. I can't wait. And then I would love to see a Bama, Texas rematch. And I guess we'll have to wait until that pick. But I would love to see a Bama Texas rematch. I'm also going Alabama plus one and a half. I'm going to take Alabama Money Line, get a couple extra boosts in there.
Starting point is 00:31:43 I have like $1,000 on them winning the whole thing. So spoiler alert, yeah, I got them beating Texas in the national title game. but I like Bama I like Bama I think this is where you want to be yeah oh I'm I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:31:56 I'm sorry I'm sorry it's where it's been I'm I'm good with this you still nervous when I walked into this this show this is exactly where I expected
Starting point is 00:32:03 to be at the end of the show I did now the thing Jack did to me that was nice I did not expect that so nice and I should have seen it coming but other than that everything's been
Starting point is 00:32:15 exactly what I thought it would be I knew there'd be some bad quote from Garrett I knew that J.P. would have a couple one. I know Mitch would fumble over his words and I knew you'd take Alabama by a landslide. I didn't think, I just said, I hope.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's over now, right? We're done doing that. Okay, good. Thanks for coming to bet the bus. Leave comments. Leave comments. We love you, big hug, tiny kisses.
Starting point is 00:32:36 Oh, no. Hey, Jack, I can't believe. You've got me. God damn it. I did not. Where the fucking soup? Yeah, I think he had all of us. No, I've heard that one.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Okay, man. God, damn, man. No, no, I've heard that one before. Even if you have this, that's the moment where you just say. God, that is so... Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
