Starting point is 00:00:22 So it is Thanksgiving. I am thankful to have one guy as an early friend of the program here at Green Light. Stanford, Steve, he's kind enough to join us. Steve, how are we doing? Excellent. One of the best days of the year here, Chris. I'm about to find that out. Me and Macon joked, well, it wasn't.
Starting point is 00:00:42 For my entire career, I hated the fall. Thanksgiving, not a big deal to me. Christmas, not a big deal to me. Because my family, since I was a kid, we moved Christmas and Thanksgiving. and we were like doing fake thanksgivings two days later, Christmas a day early. Yeah. I didn't think it was so weird until I would get to school and I'd be wishing kids like Merry Christmas.
Starting point is 00:01:02 And it's like after Christmas break. But yeah, I mean, this is, fall is winning me over and so is the holiday week. It's the best, man. Tomorrow, I know you got a big game on Friday that you're going to get, you know, you got to get stretched out forward. You got to get taped up Thursday night. But tomorrow, sit on your ass and do you. don't do a goddamn thing and just take it all in.
Starting point is 00:01:25 And for the people listening, tomorrow is today, because me and Steve, believe it or not, although we, we are content machines, we got shit to do on Thanksgiving. We're recording this on Wednesday,
Starting point is 00:01:35 and the lines will be reflective of that. So on Thanksgiving, I can't wait to truly wake up. And I got my entire family here, my brother Kyle's back, my brother Howe, he's coming in the night. Now, the downside of Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:01:48 is all the logistics is what I'm discovering. It's like holidays are a bit stressful. because of that. Okay. Who are you going to be with? You do kind of have a big ass family and you got a lot of big ass dudes. Yeah. So like that's a lot of shit that the women got to figure out, but you just let the women do that and don't move and just, you know, hey honey, I need another one. Yeah. Do you, do you, I try to look busy generally in when it comes to like any large function. You know, like, do you have any tips or techniques that you give me for looking busy? Don't be selfish. It's your house. Get your and don't let anyone sit in it. That's yours.
Starting point is 00:02:24 So it had nothing to do with standing next to my dad while he does the dishes as he does religiously. It's family, man. It's all help yourself. Everybody knows where everything is. Don't feel bad about anything. You've got to enjoy yourself. You're like my Thanksgiving shaman. That's me. I mean, you are, you are really helping me. I mean, one thing I'm really bad at is carving the turkey. Is that something I should be concerned about? No.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Okay, so it's not essential that I know how to carve a turkey. No. Okay, good. It's not a pumpkin. No, but I mean, my granddad, God rest of soul. Back in the day, he used to be the turkey carved guy. And I know some dudes, there's like a spectrum of dudes that do a lot in the kitchen on Thanksgiving. And then dudes that are like, I just lay back because my wife is terrific at my mom.
Starting point is 00:03:10 They're terrific at chefing up the greatest meal on earth. If I get in the way, it's a lose, lose. I could screw the meal up. That's what I always say. I always say, hey, I will make sure the coolers have ice and the coolers have ice. Good. Ice will be in the coolers. So there will be ice in the coolers at the Stanford Steve household.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Let's get to tomorrow's games right off the bat because they're not necessarily going to be our locks, but people are watching this. And again, Thursday's games. Let's get to Thursday's games off the bat. People are going to be watching and they want to know, do you have any liens in any of the games? I have liens in all three. Well, when you're talking about different games than me, because to me, there's only one game on Thursday, and that's the Egg Bowl because these two fucking schools hate each other more than anything. There's going to be a brawl.
Starting point is 00:04:01 There's a brawl every year. It happens out of the most inopportune time. The game last year was, or two years ago, was ugly, and the game totally was affected by it. But I like Ole Miss at night in the Egg Bowl and Starkville, like I said, the hatred. I'm a little biased because I just went to Oxford. Well, yeah, you're an adopted son. You're one of Oxford's newest sons. They're playing better.
Starting point is 00:04:26 And Mississippi State, a bunch of rumors. It feels like it's a bad locker room. The coach is rumor to go to Rutgers. Like, I just feel like Lowe Miss is peeking a little bit. And I like him. I'll take the points in a hatred game. I love this weekend because it's based on hatred and including your school. Yeah, there's a lot of hatred.
Starting point is 00:04:45 The hatred has been two-sided with the Commonwealth Cup. but the dominance has definitely been one-sided. I'll do the pros. I have my biggest lean of the week of Thanksgiving is probably the Saints Falcons under. Right now you can get it at 48.5. You can find it at 49. I don't know what you got it at.
Starting point is 00:05:05 But I think whatever you do, if it's 48.5, you buy the half point. I'm a big half-point guy. Whatever you think about that. It's actually worked out well for me when it comes to lines, but over and under, as I heard, you shouldn't buy a half-point. I think, you know, because I think five out of the six last games or one out of the last five games, rather, has actually exceeded 50 points between these two teams. I think on a short week, they're both banged up. And although Drew looked great in Carolina, that's a physical ball game.
Starting point is 00:05:34 And it is a short week. And Atlanta, I think in general, if I had a lean on the line, which is minus seven, I would lean Saints to cover, even though, you know, I think the recency bias in looking at that Atlanta Saints Slugfest that turned into a chance. 27 to 9 loss for the scene. I think the Saints are getting well. And I think the Falcons are coming back down to Earth after that little mini run that was like, okay, we, we shuffled some coaches, et cetera. I like the under. And if I had a lean, I like the Saints. I feel like the Saints are due for a bust out. You know, like they, they, they, they, they righted the ship. You know, Teddy did as well as you could when he was in there. And they just, you know, you thought they were going to go here when Drew came back. And they just, they haven't done that to me anyway. I'm expecting
Starting point is 00:06:18 more from them. And that's, yeah, and to your point, that's not what happens immediately. I don't know if that's the point you're making, but to me, you can't assume, I think in general, we all look at and you're like, okay, Drew's back off a thumb surgery. It's not even like a, yeah, it's not even like an ankle or something like that's fully healed like this. This is his throwing hand. And I think in general, the rhythm of an offense when you deal with one quarterback for a while. And that's what made Teddy's entrance even more impressive is that he was able to establish the normal, you know, of their timing and the team was able to adjust to what he does so quickly it hadn't happened as quickly the other way and I'm not saying Drew's not playing well I'm just saying that to your
Starting point is 00:06:58 point I think the breakouts do I think it happens this weekend bills and boys I will actually make the bills one of my locks I'm gonna buy I'm gonna buy a half a point to get to seven Allen's played his best two game stretch a ball in a while albeit it hasn't been like they've been beating impressive teams in general but a short week and jera laid down the gauntlet for no fucking reason on jason garrant as if that's the game you're going to pick new england's won 21 straight games at home you know you go up there in the rain and what do you think's going to happen i mean get mad after all these other losses i think him laying that gauntlet down was irresponsible in a short week i think that cowboys are known to overwork their
Starting point is 00:07:40 players i don't love them i don't know the stats on how they do with thanksgiving games i think the bills that's a lot of points even at home Yeah. I honestly thought about that Patriots Cowboys game and Jared doing his whole thing and why everybody's mad. Everybody's mad because the world had the Patriots and Garrett kicked the field goal and covered the game. And that's why everyone is double mad at Garrett. And now that's why he's getting all the seat. What do you think about that? Well, I think there's a theory to be had there. Full disclosure, I had them in a teaser. Teas master, Chris here. I had them in a teaser that I got.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I got the dolphins at 17 and a half. I bought the half point to my point. They end up losing. It's right on that. And actually they cover for me. And they keep me alive for that second half of the Sunday, half of the teaser. And easily the Cowboys, I think it was like plus like nine or 14, I think I added it at. So I like your theory.
Starting point is 00:08:40 I think it's weird to get mad at yourself essentially. That's what Jerry is doing. You condone this for a decade. Yeah. I don't get it. I really don't. So, yeah, that would be one of my locks. And then in the next NFL game, I actually like the Lions.
Starting point is 00:08:57 The Bears are very public pick right now. And since week nine against the Lions, that's the only time they've covered in the last seven games. Look, you got these stats. Yeah. Yeah, I Google. I Google. I'm getting, week 13, you're hitting your stride. Well, the thing is, yeah, and I'm hitting my stride when it comes to the bank account, too, in actuality.
Starting point is 00:09:18 But before I was doing this whole thing where I just judge off football, and that's why football players. So now I'm starting to look at some of the trends. I used to think was silly because you're like, this game is happening in a vacuum. But these are real trends. There's a reason the people with the computers do them. I also like the under.
Starting point is 00:09:36 The highest total, you know, they've had recently was 36, and that was the Lions. So you can get that, I believe, at 38 or something right now. I like the under. I like the Lions at 3.5. getting three and a half points at home on Thanksgiving. Two out of three of the Driscoll starts have been under. Of course, the one being the Cowboys that they lit up the scoreboard a little bit.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Yeah, good luck with that game. I don't know. I mean, I heard Driscoll was questionable. I wasn't sure if you practiced. And then possibly that was going to be David Blau, who's from Purdue, who I liked at Purdue. But I'm not sure he's an NFL quarterback. And on the other side, you know what that offense is. But yeah, the public's going to be all over to bears because they've scored a couple
Starting point is 00:10:17 touchdowns recently. People love betting the bears. They were up 19 to 7 against the fucking giants and people like, where's this offense been? I'm like, what the fuck do you mean? Did you watch the first half? Geez. I mean, they will jump out of the gym at the slightest pump fake in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:10:35 So, so yeah, I mean, like none of these are our locks except for me, the bills, the bills getting seven on the road against Dallas. If I had a lean, I like the over unders. in the Saints and the Lions games more in the lines. But that Lions is three and a half is weird, but the Bears being very public. Let's get to our locks. You want to start with Saturday's slate for your three locks?
Starting point is 00:10:58 Yeah, I'm going to go Saturday because one of the game, I was going to, Ole Miss is one of my picks, but I'm going to give people more. I just want to try and give them more. It's Thanksgiving. You know, I want to be plentiful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:10 Obviously, everyone's going to be watching the Iron Bowl. It's Auburn, it's Alabama. The game absolutely fascinates me. It is not one of my. my top three favorite matchups to watch this weekend. But it is just fascinating to me in the regards of what is Auburn going to do against Mack Jones, the quarterback of Alabama? To me, I've been talking about it with people all week, Chris, and I'd love to get your take.
Starting point is 00:11:35 You have a quarterback who's played against two god-awful high school defenses. Now he comes in against what I think is the best defense in the country. I honestly do think Auburn has the best defense in the country. They got some war dogs up front. They can cover in the secondary. And my favorite thing about them is they tackle in space. So if I'm out, if I'm Auburn, I'm playing up. I'm playing press and I'm trying to make the quarterback Jones beat me with throws instead of trying
Starting point is 00:12:04 to get heat on and playing like zone behind it where those receivers who are the best unit in the country where they could just open the, you know, run the open areas and the throws are easier. I want the quarterback to have to make tough throws. and that's what I see Auburn doing. You agree? I agree. I do. I like playing up on those guys, and I like making him make decisions after the snap rather than reading something pre-snap and predetermining this is where your hot is or whatever. I like making a guy, make decisions in real time, who has played, to your point, some questionable defenses, and this is anything
Starting point is 00:12:39 but that. In fact, Auburn, getting three and a half is one of my college locks of the week. Okay, I'm going to go on the under. I think 24 points wins the game. So it's under 15.5. I will take the under and the Iron Bowl. Nothing better than watching the biggest game of the weekend and having the under. Well, I mean, I just love putting pain on myself. Yeah, no, no, no problem.
Starting point is 00:13:02 As if the holiday weekend isn't stressful enough. I'm going to do UVA in the money line. I'm going to will this to happen. And we can get into UVA in a second. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of things going on in my brain. you know, 15 straight. You know, they are, we've had trouble running the ball.
Starting point is 00:13:22 They're very good stopping the run. Bud Foster's last couple games here. You know, we are fifth in time of possession, but the key is we got to finish when we get in the red zone. We go on these long drives. What we can't do is come up with no points. And this feels like a game where that could happen. So everything I'm telling you sounds like tech,
Starting point is 00:13:39 but I'm going to take Virginia in the money line. I will be there in person. No big deal. So here's the thing. If you play well, you're going to win. Yep. Okay? Now, we talked about Virginia last week.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Tough spot against Liberty. You liked them. Somebody that doesn't show up for the show all the time, talked to you off of them, and we'll leave it at that. Yeah, but I did. I locked it here. It's me not betting on my locks again.
Starting point is 00:14:03 You know, it just. It happens. Sometimes it's a weekly occurrence. Sometimes it's not. Yeah. But I think Virginia Tech last week against Pitt, That was the ultimate Virginia Tech ugly-ass win. You know, they played a terrible offense,
Starting point is 00:14:17 but their defense gets talked about because Bud Foster, it's his last game in Lane Stadium, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Virginia's a better team. Virginia Tech's offense is not good. Virginia plays well. Perkins takes care of to football. I love that Bronco defense on how they seem to keep everything in front of you. Like I said, the tech offense is not going to wow you.
Starting point is 00:14:38 You play well. You should win. I do not understand the live. I talked to you about it all week. I can't believe Virginia went from a favorite to being almost a field goal underdog. I would get that if we put up a stinker against Liberty, but this is a game that you and I both talked about. Good quarterback, Hugh Freeze, talented group, talented Y receiver there.
Starting point is 00:14:58 And, you know, traditionally, this is a game, especially before tech, that we don't show up. This is a team that's focused. And here's the thing about Bryce Perkins. Bryce Perkins is one of my favorite players that has played in Virginia, and he hasn't left the field yet. If he beats tech, he'll be my favorite fucking player of all time to wear a Virginia uniform. Basketball, football, whatever. Whoa, Kyle Guy, he's going to jump up?
Starting point is 00:15:22 Yes, I'm sorry, Kyle. Listen, and Kyle Guy would have football. He would agree with me. Hey, Steve. Sound alert. Steve. We need to break a new sound alert. I watched Bryce Perkins all year do dumb shit that's born out of toughness.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Like, staying in bounds, staying up, trying to create. Like, and you love him. You love his heart. You love his tenacity, but you're like, don't get hurt, man. Like, because if we don't have you, we have nothing. Now, this is the game. You burn the fucking ships. You burn the ships, and we're going to erase 15 years of misery here.
Starting point is 00:15:53 That's in 2003, George Bush was president. Fucking, like, the last Concord was still flying around in the air. We talked about it on. Like, you know, you know who won the Super Bowl in 2003? Oh, Patriots. No, it wasn't the Patriots. And neither do I. But I looked it up the other day, and it wasn't the Patriots.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Spurs beat the fucking nets in the NBA finals. That's how long it's been, bro. Do you remember that stuff? Like, we have a whole generation of kids that grew up without beating tech. And I still have these dumb-ass tech fans sitting on a hay bale in there with their iPhone 4s fucking tweeting me about, like, I've won two Super Bowls. Like, you think I personally care? What I want this for is the fan base. I want this for the kids.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I want this for Bronco. Burn the fucking ships. Let's sack up and beat these motherfuckers. One other thing? Yeah. You need good Bryce, not bad Bryce. And you're right. You're absolutely right.
Starting point is 00:16:55 But this is the game. And those kids standing over Bryce last year at the end of the game, the taunting. I know that's part of rivalry. I want to see that shit flipped. And I will be oiled up at the stadium, if you will. I will be oiled up. I'm going to be tailgading early in the morning. let's go.
Starting point is 00:17:13 I love it. It's why this weekend is the best. It's hatred. It's hatred. And I know people don't like to say, my mom always used to tell me, don't use the word hate. I'm sorry. You can use it in college football.
Starting point is 00:17:25 All right. Yes. I want to say I do respect. There's a weird time to say it. I respect Bud Foster. I've always respected him. And I told Macon the other day, he's definitely not a friend of the program.
Starting point is 00:17:38 But if he ever wanted to, you know, pop up to show. Charlottesville and sit in this chair. I'd love to interview him. I mean, Frank Beamer was a guy I had the, you know, who's obviously not coaching there anymore, but I was on the banquet circle with him. Listen, there's people I respect the tech. I mean, I do respect tech, but I just don't want to hear the shit talk anymore. So do you have a, do you have a third game you like or have you even gotten to your second? No, I'll make this quick, okay? I have two, my two other picks. I get the under and the Iron Bowl. My two other picks are the same, uh, the same reasoning. Maryland's quit on the season. Ruckers quit on the season. Michigan State has no business given 22, but we're going to give 22 against Maryland to take Michigan State.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Penn State, given 40 to Ruckers. I know it sounds crazy. James Franklin is going to score 80 if he could score 80. All right, he's a guy that loves being in the spotlight. This game is on the Big Ten network. 330 is Minnesota and Wisconsin. Iron Bowl, he's going to be mad that no one's watching his game. He's going to try to score as many touchdowns as possible
Starting point is 00:18:39 because he wants all live cut into those big games talking about how Penn State's going to score as many points as possible. Take Penn State, take Michigan State. I sense a little disdain for the James Franklin show. No, I, no. He just, he definitely wants the, he wants the attention on Penn State.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Absolutely. And he thrives in these situations. He punches scores in more than anyone I've ever seen and it's awesome as a gambler. So, kudos to him. Good. One other thing. You talked about respecting Virginia Tech.
Starting point is 00:19:10 I just wanted to mention my favorite game of the weekend is because these two teams don't respect each other and they hate each other. And it's Louisville and it's Kentucky. Watch a little of that game at noon on Saturday. It's awesome. It's an underrated little brawl there. And as you said, the Maryland thing is more of an indictment on Maryland than it's on Michigan State. Last week, I was very, I don't know, tepid would be the word. I was I was I was I was apprehensive about betting a team that I didn't think is very good in Nebraska in college park giving six or seven on the road I ended up.
Starting point is 00:19:43 We gave me that one chickening out and taking like the money line or something. But man, oh man, that was ugly. Yeah. They certainly have quit. Yep. So that's what I got for this. Now Sunday. What time's the tailgate start?
Starting point is 00:19:57 The tailgate. They allow you in the lot. As soon as my lovely wife, Meg will allow me to leave the. domicile and my you know i say i love you to my kids i got dad has got to go drink cold beer all day uh and and you got to do marty smith you got to do marty smith one cold beer is one word cold beer cold beer marty smith so i'll give you my speaking of virginia tech yikes yeah i know oh sorry yeah it was a weird time so so on so on sunday um here are the games i like i already mentioned that I like the bill is getting seven on the road. I like the Green Bay under at 46.
Starting point is 00:20:36 I had to buy a half point to get there, but you could get it depending on where you are. And I think the line might continue to move down because I think people are catching on to the fact that Aaron and I talked about on the show yesterday, Aaron is not as good on the road. I mean, he hasn't been as good on the road in the playoffs. He hasn't been as good on the road. And not a normal deviation. It's been more than you think. And I think this is, you talk about letdown games after that ass kicking, they could do one or two things that get mad and go beat up on Giants. I don't think so. I think when you play on the West Coast, then on the East Coast, I don't see Daniel Jones having a big day against this
Starting point is 00:21:13 pass rush in the secondary. So the points will be down. I don't think Green Bay lights up on the scoreboard either. All right. Watch out for the weather up there too. Yeah, exactly. And then additionally, I'm going to will the Cincinnati Bengals to either win a game or lose in heartbreaking fashion. Getting four points at home, you know, you've got the Red Rocket coming back. This is a team that's been close a lot this year. And I kind of wonder, are they tanking or they're not tanking? The Andy Dalton coming back, I don't know if they're driving his trade value up,
Starting point is 00:21:43 but they're trying to win a game. And the Jets have been playing too damn good. It's about time to come back down to Earth. All right. I'm room for Sammy D there, but maybe he could win and not cover, and then you cover with the family. That'd be fine. I got friends with the Jets.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Okay. No problem. No hard feelings. Yeah, Joe Douglas. Fucking Sam Donald, not my friend, but I'm a mono survivor, so I root for him. There you go. Mato survivor. Greg Williams.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Greg Williams is my boy. All right. Go ahead. Raiders plus the points in Kansas City. Don't, you know, the rule of NFL gambling. Don't remember what you saw last week. I'm going to do that with the Raiders. The Eagles.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Eagles need a win more than anybody in the league. I think they go to Miami. It's just what the doctor ordered. A little warm weather. Get that offense cooking. Carson, get everybody off his back. I'll lay the nine there. And my man, Nick Foll has got to get a win as a Jaguar, man.
Starting point is 00:22:42 Enough's enough. I'll take the Jags in that one. I have a question for you before I go. Yeah. I have three daughters. I brought the two older ones to Frozen yesterday. Yeah. I paid for the ticket next to us so nobody would sit next to us.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Am I a bad dad? No. Okay. No. Okay. You're great, dad. Are you kidding me? It's a great idea.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I'm going to start doing it. I might start doing it just for my own personal enjoyment. I've done it before for myself when I go to the movies alone by myself. That's a life hack and I do bring like smart pop in. Like I, you know, if I'm feeling really good, I might go get some traditionally buttered popcorn. but I used to go and get a big jumbo tub of popcorn and drink a 46 ounce Dr. Pepper and this was back in the day
Starting point is 00:23:31 when I didn't know like caffeine was in half the colas. I don't get with caffeine. So I'd get home, I'd feel like shit, I'd be buzzing from the caffeine. I don't even know what happened to me. So this is a great life tip here, a life hack. Yes. Buy the seats next to you.
Starting point is 00:23:47 Absolutely. Bring in your own popcorn as well. That's a big one for me. These rivalries, is there, what was the Stanford, a Stanford robbery that most people don't realize you hated another team? Notre Dame. But people think of that traditionally.
Starting point is 00:24:02 Yeah, I guess so. I mean, all the California schools, SC's tough, really tough, man. When you're going on to the Coliseum, you're coming out of the tunnel and that fucking dog is shitting all over, and you've got to walk around the horse shit, fucking traveler,
Starting point is 00:24:16 that fucking horse. God, that sucks. Because I was one, like, I was a long snap to, too, so I'm one of the first guys out of tunnel. I'm like, God damn it, every year to his fucking horse, shitting all over the place. Smells like Bourbon Street.
Starting point is 00:24:30 And they're still playing in that shit hole at Coliseum. I don't know how the NFL guys do that shit, man. That place sucks. You know what's funny is I rank that as one of my favorite stadiums. You know, that pod's going to drop this weekend. But that stadium to me is, to your point, it's shitty. But all you have to do, here's a life hack. for stadium, just put a fucking flame
Starting point is 00:24:53 in the end zone. You put a flame in the end zone, it's cool as shit. Like, I just, I'll be playing in that game. Great call. Just put a flame. I mean, like, you could play in a dump. You can play in a parking lot. Put a cool looking flame that makes the place look important and iconic.
Starting point is 00:25:09 You know what? You're going to find this to happen to as you get older, and this has definitely happened to me at the Coliseum, because one of our best wins ever at Stanford was there. I had a huge comeback. But I've been there so many times now with work and dealing with the fucking traffic and all the bullshit outside like dudes i remember in college dudes drove their cars down like the walk on the stuff that didn't travel drove down got their cars
Starting point is 00:25:32 broken into all that shit around the coliseum uh that that stuff starts to wear on you so it is it is i mean the fight song you fucking hear it nonstop the whole goddamn game if they're winning and they're beating you so uh yeah put s c on that list yeah you definitely seem to be uh the undercover hatred is for USC and for me it's Maryland as you know. Not that you know like listen I had some of my best moments against Maryland. Maryland or Maryland fans? It's just the
Starting point is 00:26:00 whole thing. The whole operation. You know I'm not a fan of the crash test dummy looking ass helmets. The field is always empty. Their flag is the worst flag in the world. Terrible flag. Why are there so many colors?
Starting point is 00:26:16 No reason. You're not that important as a state. Like, just pick two colors. Stop burning cars and trash cans when you win something. I mean, like, it's just their best alum is one of my favorite people in the world in Scott. But yeah, fuck. I mean, after him, it's like Tori Smith and I love Tori. But I can't think of too many others that I really care for.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Anyways, I also ranked, me and Macon ranked best uniforms and rivalry weekend. Combos now. Do you have a combo that you look forward to seeing every year? And is there one that you hate from this rivalry weekend? Well, I talked about it last week, the SC, UCLA, where they both were to home. Beautiful. It's unbelievable. Oh, man, that's a good question.
Starting point is 00:27:03 I'll do mine and you grade them. So for me, it's Iowa on the road against Nebraska, very classic. Yep. Michigan, Ohio State. But I want that at the shoe. Okay. I think Michigan's got to go back to the gold pants. Wow.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Okay. They suck under Harbaugh on the road with white pants. I think it has more to do with other things than the pants. Okay. Another one I love is, you know, is the Civil War. I think it's kind of underrated, bro. It's awesome. Is it not?
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's the ultimate big brother, little brother, man. Like all that Nike money. And listen, Nike's done Corvallis pretty good. But just go to the campuses, man. Eugene and Corvallis, it's pretty eye-opening. You didn't think a state is possible of two places that are that different. And they're not at all far from each other. That's the crazy thing.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Maryland doesn't even have an opportunity. I think University of Maryland is the only fucked up option you have in that state. So there's no, I mean, Virginia, Virginia Tech. Virginia Tech campus looks like a large prison. are we wearing good uniforms this week uh we are in the all blues my favorite is the all whites uh but that's okay you guys have you guys have step even though you can't fucking beat virginia tech you guys have stepped up the uniform game we couldn't beat virginia tech it all changes this week steen thank you for uh hyping me up uh and telling me virginia you think objectively is a better team
Starting point is 00:28:40 than virginia tech i needed that and uh let's root for the for the who's i will route for the Cardinal this week. All right. That's a deal. Texas OU when Texas wears the home jerseys. Oh, Texas. Oh, you when Texas wears the... Yeah, I agree there. The one I can't watch, though, is in the Big 12. It is Bedlam at Stillwater. It's just dog shit. Oh, well, you get that this week. Great.
Starting point is 00:29:03 I'm not going to watch it. I don't care how good the game is. It's just disgusting. That stadium's disgusting. They're, you know, they screw orange and black up. I don't, like, what's going on with the logo? A lot of teams, though. Oregon State does not. Sometimes they do. Okay. Yeah, you go back to the old beaver.
Starting point is 00:29:20 That's for another second. Go back to the old beaver. All right. Well, happy Thanksgiving to you. We're wishing all the gamblers out there a happy Thanksgiving. I know this enhances your holiday week. So go win some bets.
Starting point is 00:29:34 Thank you, Steve. All right, my man. Anytime. Have a good weekend. Have a great tailgate. Thanks, brother. Pray for me.
