Ah, yes, the conference that went to the airport and had a few too many mimosas in the morning and the squad that did the same thing. This is the Locked On Big 12 Squad. Long intro time. You're talking ball with the Big 12 Squad. From Oklahoma State to Utah, from Kansas State to BYU, from Houston to Texas Tech, it's the local experts of the Locked On Podcast Network bringing you scoops, breakdowns, and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big 12 weekend. Buckle up.

It's the Big 12 Squad, and we have a seat for you. Know her feelings and thin skin aloud. Squad up. You're part of the Big 12 Squad. Happy Thursday, everybody. Welcome to the Big 12 Squad. My favorite part of that intro is it has Duke's football stadium. Why?

Because that's the only thing that makes sense in the Big 12 Squad, where each and every single one of us are hurtling ever closer toward the sweet embrace of death. It is on its way, fellas. Fret not. And after this last week of football, our conference disaster was the word that I used. Cody Stovall of Lockdown Oklahoma State. That also sums up your football season.

Jake Hatch of Lockdown BYU Cougars. Could be more opposite. JT Westersell, it describes your hairline. Kevin Borva of Lockdown Bucs. Could you be an outside playoff contender? Parker Ainsworth finally got his camera to work. Richie Bradshaw talks about the Sun Devils. When's the last time?

You guys have that running back. Spencer McLaughlin of Lockdown College football and then Mountaineer Paul Paul blink twice but if you do none of us could see it you're too blurry this last week in Big 12 play we lost Chris Level was supposed to come and brag

tonight about how well Texas Tech played against Iowa State I guess I'll have to do it for him Spencer for some god awful reasonful reason, we will start with you. Thanks for making this show your first listen every single day. The Big 12 lost two of its most competitive teams last week. Iowa State going down to Texas Tech, Kansas State going down to Houston, of all people. How bad is that nationally, my friend? I think the Kansas State loss is a little bit worse, but I think it's

starting to really crystallize the reality that I discussed before the season, which is this is a one-bid league. Now, that is not a completely locked-in scenario for the Big 12. I think it just continues to look more likely because BYU still has to go at Utah this week. They have to go at Arizona State. I suspect they lose probably one of those football games, but definitely not both. I think they win both before they lose both of them. But yes, Richie, give him the one finger wave. There was nothing creepy about that whatsoever, my guy. Give him the finger, Richie. Give him the finger. But I think you have to have a pair of 11 win teams in the conference championship game to guarantee the Big 12 gets two teams into the playoff. I think 10 and two Big 12 gets two teams into the playoff.

I think 10-2 Big 12 gets left out. Yeah, we're definitely going to talk to Jake Hatch about BYU and the complicated schedule coming up. But Kevin Borba, your team could go 10-2, miss the Big 12 championship, and to me, at least have a shot, be in the conversation because the SEC still has matchups like Alabama and LSU. Can 10-2 Colorado, mute yourself, Spencer McLaughlin, at least be in the realm of possibility when it comes to the college football playoff conversation?

Yeah, I think, first of all, Colorado had the best week last week. They didn't play anyone. That was probably the safest place to be. I don't know about you, BYU had the greatest playoff. Utah had a fantastic week, too. We look a lot better now. Thanks, Parker. Sitting on the couch, doing some heisman campaigning, and all of a sudden, everyone else is just in pure disaster mode.

Realistically, the college football playoff is about money, right? And if Colorado is truly in a situation where they're tending to some SEC teams lose ahead of them, like Tennessee or whoever else continues to not look impressive, Penn State, Indiana drops a game, or whatever happens, I think you have to legitimately consider them as one of the higher seeds, right? You can't leave Deion Sanders out if there's an opportunity to get him in. Spencer, you could give me that look, but realistically- I'm going to give you that look for the entire show if you keep spewing this nonsense. Did you just imply that 10-2 Colorado would be in over 11-1 Indiana? Yes. I mean, realistically, they could be, right? If it comes down to how bad they win.

Indiana hasn't beaten a bowl team. Oh, gosh. They have beaten everyone to an absolute pulp. Their margin of victory is one point less than Michigan last year through nine games, who was ranked third at the time. Oh, Cody beats Jt in a fist fight what are we gonna be like cody's the heavyweight champion of the world like congrats hold on hold on do you think that hold on do you think that that stray i've gotten two shots taking me

now also also yeah well you woke up you're in the game are you under this this impression that 10 and 2 colorado just because de Deion Sanders is the head coach, is going to leap up significantly over 10-2 Tennessee, 11-1 Penn State, or 10-2 Penn State for that matter, or 10-2 Tennessee? Do you actually think the playoff committee would do that? Well, those teams you just mentioned are way different than the first team you mentioned.

Yeah. No, no, but Kevin mentioned all of them. Kevin said, well, first team you mentioned. Yeah. Yeah. What they mentioned. No, no. But Kevin, hold on. But Kevin mentioned all of them. Kevin said, well, you know, this team could lose or that team could lose. You have to get to three losses before you can even be considered to get passed up by 10-2 Colorado, which is not a guarantee, by the way, number one.

And number two, I don't know that it's a lock that 10 and two big 12 with a blowout loss to a Nebraska team that looks worse and worse every single week. They lost to UCLA for goodness sake. I don't know that 10 and two big 12 is in over nine and three SEC. I would argue that Tennessee's loss to Arkansas looks worse and worse every week. Arkansas lost to Oklahoma State and Oklahoma State can't beat any of us. I don't know why. First of all all you just said a three loss sec team will get in we know that's not going to happen right we look at the rankings right now and the highest ranked three loss team is old miss and lsu sitting at 15 16 so we know that's not going to happen right so let's pretend or let's erase that um second of all kevin there was a stat dropped on the show that a three loss team has been in the top 12, like all of the last few years.

So it is a possibility, especially when you factor in the SEC bias that we do all know exists. I think the likelihood that 10 and two big 12 is an at-large team is the same as nine and three SEC. It's a probably no, but you cannot a hundred percent rule it out. That one seems reasonable. You don't think the Dion factors into that equation whatsoever? I mean, where are they ranked right now?

They're still a human component. Okay, but look at the teams ahead of them. Like Alabama and LSU play each other. One of them is going to fall. Ole Miss plays Georgia. Okay, and the loser of that football game is still going to be ranked ahead of Colorado after this week. I guarantee it. I guarantee it.

LSU's at 15. If they lose, they are going to plummet. They're not going to drop six. They're not going to drop seven spots. If Colorado beats Texas Tech on the road, will certainly jump a fifth number 15 overall team that loses that's also okay okay we'll find out we'll find out we go team by team if notre dame loses they're done right a 10 and 2 notre dame team is out of the playoff so wait so we're talking about the brand power of colorado putting them in the playoff and then saying, yep, Notre Dame, 10-2, get them out of the playoff.

Ship them out of town. One of their losses is at NIU. Yes. Yes, and yet Notre Dame is still ranked inside the top 10. Why? Because it's Notre Dame. Because they have one loss. They have one loss. And it's Notre Dame. What other team in the country

could have a loss to NIU and be ranked that high? Not many teams have a loss to NIU to be ranked that high um I mean not many teams have a loss to NIU to begin with there's a reason that they're 10th with the one loss and they're not in the top five or the top nine or whatever right it's because the playoff committee is giving them a little leash and if they lose they are done if Notre Dame loses do you think they're going to make the playoff Spencer I think they have the same chance as Colorado or a nine and three SEC team it is possible but I don't think it is likely, and I don't think it should happen. At the very least, I feel like we've gained ground with Spencer on Colorado. He seems a little more optimistic with

that answer. I should also reference that the only difference in Iowa State and Notre Dame is Iowa State took their loss later on. We've forgotten about this Notre Dame loss to NIU, which was way worse than Iowa State's still tough loss at home to Texas Tech. NIU's other wins are Western Illinois. They have Massachusetts Bowling Green. Yes, you're right. Those teams have no shot at the college football playoff, Spencer. What are you talking about here?

That's awful. That's awful. Western Illinois Catamounts? Western Illinois. Yeah, good luck football playoff, Spencer. What are you talking about here? That's awful. That's awful. Western Illinois Catamounts? Western Illinois... Yeah, good luck with that one, Spencer. You host Locked On College Football. You should know. Western Illinois? Yeah. Leathernecks. It's a dog. What? It's a leathernecks.

The picture's a dog. That feels derogatory. Is that... It can sound however you'd like. I've called one of their football games before. It was actually featured on SVP's Bad Beats a couple of years ago. Okay. Wow. What a redemption arc for Spencer McLaughlin.

Coming up, I want to know if Neil Brown is still fired to hear from Mountaineer Paul as they play the Baylor Bears this week. Richie Bradshaw's team is good. Parker Ainsworth's team might win the national championship next season. Cody Stovall's coach hates all of his fans. Yes, you, even you included, Jake Hatch and JT Westersell, are on a big rivalry week. That is all coming up next.

We're going to keep talking about sports. Drake's going to change languages to one he can speak. On the line. Grigio, it's going to be a good association. Big 12 squad. I will do this one in English.

Dos de Grande. It is the Dos de Grande squad. That was crazy. That reminds me of the monorail Disney World. Why, Mountaineer Paul?

Mumble, mumble, Disney World. What he just said reminds me of what it says when you get on the monorail at Disney World. Yeah, because it's in Spanish. And then it's in, I think, Japanese. Mantenga los manos, brazos, pies y pernas dentro del tren. We talked a lot of sports in the opening segment, which is crazy for us, by the way. That's very abnormal. Yeah, what is this?

You bring Spencer in and we actually talk football? Like, come on now. Sorry, did you want me to leave? Because that's too bad. Yeah, where's the candy corn talk? I missed that. Candy corn's fine. It is fine, exactly. It's fine. The meme of the couch and there are the guys standing behind the couch and Spencer's on the couch.

So Mountaineer Paul, Neil Brown, if he loses to the Baylor Bears, does he still have a job at the end of the season at four and five? And that game isn't even – what am I talking about? We're going to – November 9th in Cincinnati on the road. You'll play Baylor in a couple weeks. If he loses to Cincinnati on the road, you go to 4-5. Does he get fired?

Or if he wins a pretty good road game in the Big 12, is Neil Brown saved with two wins in a row? I think he's safe either way, man. Listen, Brent Baker has made it really clear. West Virginia doesn't have the money. We just don't have the money to fire Neil Brown unless he completely tanks the rest of the season. One or three, oh, four, the only two ways he is fired. Unfortunately, we all want him gone, but it's a situation to where we're in the red as a university, as a whole.

We already get less from our university than most other universities in the Big 12. Most other universities get as high as 30% from the university. We're nowhere close to that. So here we are in the red, unable to fire a coach. Ren Baker just wrote a letter last week explaining in detail our financial situation. Tell Gordon Gee, the Vernal native himself of Utah, to pony up, man. He retires in 25, so that's another big reason that Neil Brown

is still here. Sounds like he'll need some tax write-offs or something. Does that count if it's a charitable cause? Having just fired a coach last year when you didn't have the money for it, the best thing that can happen is someone like A&M pays a guy $90 million to go away, and then you look silly

not paying whatever the cost is. Tell someone else to fire the coach. Unless the guy that our fan base wants. Unless the same guy our fan base wants. Have you tried the Powerball? The $90 million man. Have you tried Nick Saban? Has anybody here

called Nick Saban to ask about West Virginia? Apparently Arizona. That's a great idea. How is no one thought to hire Nick Saban? That's good. People are making videos about it. Very talented, handsome hosts are making videos about it all over the internet. What an idea. Handsome?

Really handsome? I feel like I watch Mountaineer Paul's show, and I'm like, wow. Richie, I see you. What clear, good video and audio quality he has. But right now, it's like I'm on the monorail at Disney World after six of those Irish beers that one club they have on the downtown strip. I don't know what's going on. Epcot? Are you trying to say Epcot?

Is that where you drink in every world? I have a video that says three hours on it right now. Oh, my gosh. I started uploading a video at 6 o'clock, and it still says three hours. That's what it is. You can't upload a video and then started uploading a video at 6 o'clock, and it still says 3 o'clock. That's what it is. You can't upload a video and then get on a video call. Parker Ainsworth, I can see you this week. Back to back week for him.

Best comment of anything that's happened to me in the last 72 hours was someone commented that I got my Wi-Fi fixed and the Cougs got fixed as well. I take credit for the entire thing. I fixed my Wi-Fi. We're good again. Look at that. If Houston loses, are you going to put the bag back on for next episode? It's basketball season, Cody. Yeah, we're not losing for a while.

All we've realized is Utah is the cure for what ails any Big 12 team when they play them. So that's good, right? I appreciate it, Parker. Don't rag on the doormat of the Big 12 like that, Jake. Be kind. It's private. We were talking to Cody. Oh, poor Cody catching strays too now.

Parker, you do have all the basketball shoes behind you there. Happy basketball season to all of our Houston Cougars friends. The football team, though, winning against Kansas State this week, a top 25 opponent, does this mean that a national championship is coming next season? I mean, why not? No, I think that the truth is, and I remember saying it back in July, they were going to beat a team that they weren't supposed to beat

because Fritz does really weird Willie Fritz things. I didn't know it was going to be Kansas State. I thought really highly of Kansas State and still frankly do. Frankly, if I'm being honest, Jake, I don't mean to spoil. I kind of thought it was going to be BYU at the end of the year when of course that would be like the spoiler. Just because like weird things happen that week after Thanksgiving. Or the week before then.

Or the week before then. Or the week before then. No, I think that truthfully what you're seeing is like, you know, they've kind of found a way to solve the problem, and they have figured out the quarterback thing. Zion Chris got dinged up on his first rotation against UNLV because that's a good football team. Very good football team. Very good football team.

He didn't get to play again for a couple weeks, and then when he came back, he kind of rotated through before getting the starting job things have changed since he went in now they're also running the ball like 45 or more times a game um with running backs are about five foot nine i don't know how it works but it gets enough to get the job done right that's all it takes um so what's worked out for us so far park Parker talked about Kansas State there like an X he just dumped. Like, oh, she's so nice. She's so nice. She's just the nicest person.

It just didn't work out right there. Let's come back. That's all I'm talking about. Too many heartstrings. Like all week on my show. I do think I picked them to win the conference before the year started, though, while you're talking about X. I think I did pick them at the start of the year.

I don't want to talk about who I picked. Kansas and Utah alongside Spencer McLaughlin While you're talking about X, I think I did pick them at the start of the year. I don't want to talk about who I picked. She's not coming back, man. Utah, alongside Spencer McLaughlin in our preseason Big 12 picks. Hey, Drake, it's you, me, and Joel Klatt, baby. We're on our way with that Big 12 preseason prediction. He didn't actually pick Colorado. Yeah. Klatt does love himself some good old Colorado.

While we will be joined by Mike Gittins in our final segment to talk some UCF we'll also get with Cody Stove all about whatever is happening in Oklahoma State before we go there let's go quickly and then segue into that third segment with JT Westersell of Locked On Utes JT if you don't mind preseason favorite to win the Big 12 was

Utah the team that's projected to have a 12 win probability based on offensive and defensive efficiency this week is oh utah yeah it's utah uh the team projected to lose 33 to 17 at home during a rivalry game is utah yeah really jake hatch is doing his own joker impression up there yes it's good good i got these scars. Your Wi-Fi went out. Jack Nicholson up there. I got a lot of scars. I got a lot of scars. So, JT, I'm going to flip it back.

I'm going to help you here a little bit, but not yet. 93rd in the nation against the Rush, 105th against the Dropback. Again, these all inefficiencies. And 122nd on 3rd and 4th down. Those all on offense. That is bad. However, the number 11 defensive team,

defensive success rate in the nation against the byu team that's 60th on third and fourth down offensively jt weird things happen in rivalries will a weird thing happen on saturday night i absolutely think it can look this byu team should win but let's also call what it is this is not a dominant byu team they're a team of destiny at least they look that way but jake, you barely beat Oklahoma State who doesn't have a conference win. How are you going to look at me like that? 8-0.

Have you been dominant week in and week out? No gang signs. The Big 12 squad. Sound like Tony Stark in Iron Man. Was it 2022 TCU? I just had that magical run that's what's

called byu and i'm like oh i think what you're referencing richie is 1984 byu by the way get it right i was not uh i wasn't even a drake where did that 13 year old girl teenage sass come from i mean holy crap i haven't seen that side of you before yeah really. Really quick, just talking about this game a little bit more. Look, Utah, like you said, 13th-ranked pass defense. Retzelhoff has thrown seven interceptions. He's also yet to have over 250 yards passing against a Power Four team. So I do like Utah's secondary here. 250 yards you don't need to pass for 250-plus.

I was drinking water like JT's drinking copium up there in Salt Lake City. Hey, speaking of the ground game too, your running defense, Jake, has shown some lapses as of late, right? Both Harvey and Ollie Gordon had really good games against you guys. Utah's got Makai Bernard. He's averaging over six yards per carry too. You factor that with Utah's ground game. I do think Utah can run the ball.

What is it, over six yards a carry for 40 yards a game? Yeah, let's get Mike Gittins on here and ask him how UCF ran against BYU. Hey, Mike Gittins, how we doing, my friend? He started with a low blow there. Okay. Welcome to the madness. Welcome in. Yeah, guys, I was listening to all that.

Clearly. We're sorry. UCF is on a one-game winning streak. Can a one-game be a streak? It is a streak. It is a streak down in Orlando. It depends on what you did. I'll give you that line, JT. This Arizona State

game is going to be fun, I think. Gus is going back to school. He's majoring in risk management. Looks like half of you got that. And Gus is going back to school. He's majoring in risk management. Ah. Gus, Gus. Looks like half of you got that. It should be fun. I mean, look, I don't know.

When your season's in the tank and you're like three and five, and then your coach has the guts to start the fourth spring freshman, and then he looks like a mini Johnny Manziel running around there. Oh, come on, man. It was it was tough it was it was actually exciting i thought they injected a lot of uh hope back into the fan base over these last few games and they got a pretty decent shot to make a bowl game now i wow a mini johnny manziel is crazy yeah right he's already really at the end of the half yeah i just like jay williams on the baylor gonzaga game this week a bench player for gonzaga came in and williams goes he's like a mix of russell westbrook and paul george it's like oh whoa

what are we doing is that somebody you want to be in 2024 a guy who can't shoot threes and one guy who can't stay on the court like what what what combination is this is this player you want to be injured and really selfish coming up um moron is a question chance to respond to jt westersell on the game this week and uh cody stovall coach, hates puppies and the elderly.

All right, Jay Kach. BYU a four and a half, five point favorite if you ask FanDuel. However, the analytics, the efficiencies say that BYU should win by a couple of scores. Is this the week BYU proves, hey, no matter what anybody says, we're going to just go into a rivalry we can dominate? I sure hope so because the history suggests it's going to be a one-score game. This is rarely a game that gets beyond 10 points,

and when it does, it's routinely a blowout. Utah's a team that barely gets beyond 10 points. What are you talking about? Hey, we're averaging 12 over the last four games. Big money over there, JT, but here's the thing. BYU's rocking and rolling. Everybody I've talked to inside the football program, they're ready to go up to Rice eckles and make a statement so i'm looking forward to

this one on saturday night we'll see how it all goes down cool thanks that's just really like it was really nice but you get your little can i ask mike i was gonna say can i ask my question actually i would just say thank you to mike uh ucF beating A&M made the entire state of Texas laugh this week. So thank you for that in basketball. I know this is a football-centric show, but thank you. Thank you. When the Bills came through and I saw the court storming, which is now one of the funniest things that happened in all of sports,

right, it was pretty amazing. Obviously not a basketball school. Pick to finish 11th in the Big 12 this year and just beat an A&M. They're weird, man. I know you guys have seen the Yale practices, but I feel like any win against A&M is a win for America, right? And it's election night. It's an important message here for people.

America wins when A&M loses. Hey, what happened to Spencer? Did we lose Spencer? Spencer had too much of the actual talking about football. He comes to the entertainment value, and I guess he got more. I mentioned basketball. I told him I was going to beat him up after talking about my cousin. Yeah, that was it.

I've run too. Cody, Mike Gundy said that if you're if you're mean to him you're a poor person um what did he mean by that checks out checks out over here checks out it's easy to play off if it's just like a very quick clip right if it was something he said in 37 seconds then you could write it off as what a dumb thing to say the problem with Mike Gunn is he doubled down and not only did he say the only people complaining are the people who can't take care of their kids and pay pay their bills but he also doubled down on top of that and he also went into this basic conversation about the those same people being negative about

Oklahoma State are going to be failures when they wake up tomorrow before they talk bad about Oklahoma State. So not only did he call everybody broke and poor and can't take care of the kids and pay their bills, he also called us all failures as well. So anybody who's saying that Oklahoma State is not living up to expectations is a brokey who can't take care of their kids and they fail a lot at life. And with all this stuff, it's crazy. Mike Gundy can take his $625,000 he makes a month, and he can go fly a kite and suck a golf ball through a vacuum hose for all we care anymore. I'm over it, man.

I have never heard somebody be so disrespectful to their own fan base. Right. And that's a purposeful shot. You know what I mean? Like coaches say crazy stuff sometimes. Mike Gundy has no shortage of crazy things to say. I'll have Mike know. The government garnishes my check every month on time.

Thank you, Mike. So I take care of my responsibility. Well, then you can't be a good Oklahoma State fan. Yeah, you must not like Oklahoma State. You don't know how wild it is to do that in the NIL era too? I can't tell you how I'm going to draft everyone. I would just refresh that this is the same Mike Gundy that was in Hot Water for stuff he said over the summer.

Like this is the same guy. This is the same Mike Gundy that was calling parents and players weak and anybody who decommits was never loyal and true, and we didn't want him to begin with it's starting to layer up like i i swear i i did vote right and i should have wrote in joe biden to replace mike gundy because mike gundy he's either hammered white girl wasted drunk or he still got a concussion from the stupid cow because you cannot say this stuff without having any ramifications out of it.

Can I propose a theory? Can I propose a theory? What's his buyout? Is he trying to get fired? What's the buyout? Like, is it? It's like 18 to 22 million. Hey, if you told me I get paid $20 million to say some crap about being fired, it would happen. Like, it would absolutely happen.

That's got to be it. I should say, Cody towed the line there but because he's oh and six in conference i'm gonna leave it in i'm not gonna call the producers this week i'm gonna let you have that one uh the direct quote from the summer was this is unbelievable my my gundy says of ollie gordon who got a dui he says i looked it up on my phone what would the legal limit be two three four beers i'm not justifying what ollie did i'm telling you what decision i made well i thought i've probably done that a thousand times in my life that's crazy well evidently he's drinking a thousand beers before

he has press conferences now too cody the good news is i thank him for running caleb btn off because he's actually starring at left tackle for BYU this season and on his way to the NFL. So BYU is a beneficiary of his non-striker. Guys, all kidding aside, I have legitimately never been more irate in hearing comments from a coach, especially somebody who is a living legend in Stillwater. Even if we go 0 for the rest of the year

and he doesn't say crazy stuff like that, then we're in Gary Patterson, hang the statue mold. But I think that this might be one of those few times where our athletic director is finally getting enough phone calls and emails that something will be done. Now, it is Mike Gundy and the AD is pretty new, so I don't know that he's going to want to ruffle too many feathers. But there has to be something said for this. Mike Gundy has to be held accountable because of all this pretentiousness that he's thrown around. He pretends to hold the team accountable, yet he refuses to hold himself accountable. And now he has stepped in it so big the fans can now hold him accountable.

Is the Big 12 now the most problematic conference? In such a fun way. Wait, really quick. I have a perfect stat on that. I'm at the bottom fun way. Really quick, I have a perfect stat on that. I have a perfect stat on that. I can't get over the fact that Utah, Kansas, Arizona, and OSU all have less combined conference wins

than BYU. Hey, JT, do you remember when Utah was picked first in the league last year? We already did this last segment. BYU's picked 13th. You know that currently the Utes are 13th and the Cougars are first. I was picked 16th.

Anything can happen. Richie is very good. We should mention that. Richie was picked last. Which is really good. Second to last or last? Last. 16th. Oh, Paul, I'm sorry. Geez, you're like 6-2 now. You're going to a bowl game.

Scataboo, guys. We might do. We might do. We might do. All I'm here is Cougars run the conference. We're going to keep it going. Y'all, then us, then back to us. We're going to keep it going.

We're going to keep it going. I just can't. Mike Gundy said, that's strong drive. We've got to do that all the time. And we were like, oh, yeah, they're going to win the conference. How do you guys do in sub-zero temperatures? Because we're already in the 30s here in Utah. By the time Houston gets here, it might be negative 20.

It was 84 yesterday. Well, good luck. Good luck to you in a few weeks, then. It was 72 today, and I had to wear a sweater. Oh, okay. Well, it's 32 degrees and snowing in Utah, so here we go. If it was a blizzard this weekend, that'd be awesome, because then Utah doesn't have to throw the ball,

so that bodes better for their chance to win. Don't throw the ball anyway, JT. Can we start talking about basketball yet? It's supposed to be dry and cold, JT, so be ready, baby. You were up by one against Green Bay at the half, though you won by a lot. Basketball might not be a great subject either.

It's baseball season in Stillwater. The mighty Doug Gottlieb. What a world. Coming up on the rest of this week. Well, tomorrow's Friday. These guys will do shows that you can listen to, which would be fun. We get to keep our jobs. And if you don't listen to them, maybe one of us gets sad.

This has been and it always will be. The most football-centric ever locked on. I would tell you their names, but I just don't care to. Dos Grande Squad.
