Welcome to the 40440 Belk Bowl preview. Everybody, let's just get it out of our systems. Ready? Belk! Hang on, hang on, hang on. I believe you mean Belkham! Belkham!

Burnout Foltz! Did I do it right? You're so hateful. J.C. Penny. Bells! Bels! Those stores that are superior to belt, because that could take a minute. Who?

Wow. Orange Julius. Somebody here is not a fan of modern, period, southern, period, style, period. I too purchase all my home appliances and fashion from Orange Julius. This little paper hat's going to get me through the winner. Yes, this is the belt bowl in beautiful Charlotte. The belt bowl, by the way, still having the game there, right? After H.B.2, just point that out.

Yeah, apparently the bowl system is the, one sporting event that can't be relocated by discriminatory laws. Surprise. So it's nice to know that I guess there's one industry that is impervious to I guess future

proofed maybe. That's what it is. Sure, it's fun to say. In the entire underpinning of the bowl industry for soldiering on with the courage of your own shitty convictions. Yeah, that's really cool. By the way, if you want to move this to a more democratic state, they could just take it to Caracas.

The Venezuela Bowl. I could just slide it down to South Carolina. El Belk? Is it El Belk or La Belk? La Belk? El Belk. El Belk sounds better to me. The Belk Bowl, by the way, featuring, let's see.

We got Arkansas. Oh, God. We have to talk about Arkansas, don't we? Not necessarily. If you'll look back, you'll see that there are several episodes of this podcast where we don't talk about one team. What would you rather talk about? Tech and how much fun they are now that they have, Justin,

yeah let's talk about that that's like a that's a net positive football is watchable for the first time in our lifetimes before we do that you you all are aware that there is a recent development in bret beelham's life right no i'm blocked by him on twitter what is it no no can we not just a little bit he's gonna talk about it a little bit he's gonna be a daddy yep the ultrasound didn't lie he's he's gonna be a daddy they ultrasound brett just to be sure there there's a Volkswagen bug in there cool yeah I was gonna say what's what's in there if we ultrasound Brett Bileum's belly you like cutting open a maco and license plates pour out like an entirely you're like wow man he's got a brewery in there you have a wheel of fortune slot machine in there and it's intact and operating

homes oh my god oh god i did that too soon too fucking soon no it's been what three years 30 something like that it's been between 30 and three years um sure math's a lie all right we can talk about virginia tech now sorry so much more fun virginia tech vastly improved just just as a watch with justin fwente at the helm i mean everyone loves frank beamer sure in theory watching beamer ball was hard it was a difficult thing to behold well it was it was it was fun when it was executed perfectly you know it's sort of it's sort of like um skateboarding it was admirable it was it was admirable when executed perfectly it was never fun well the punt stopped getting blocked yeah i mean skateboarding at a high level is is interesting to watch because you're like

that shit looks hard and unnecessary because you're not really going anywhere um skateboarding done poorly is just like oh jesus just you're 38 why are you doing that stop it now even operating at the height of its powers i found beamer ball repellent yeah i was never really a fan it was just like it was like watching somebody to try to win a card game by playing like as few cards as possible it's just not like yeah it was static it was never really fun to watch you could turn off most virginia tech games after they got at like past Inter-Sand-Man, right? Chris Fallard

get all excited calling Thursday night game, and there's inner-sand-man and I'm done. I can go watch like whatever

horseshit Sunbelt game was on ESPN 2. Well, I mean, it is a song about being sleepy, so. After never, never,

yeah, yeah. But a really interesting year they had turned over the ball like five times against Tennessee and a loss,

had a weird loss to Syracuse. You know, lost to Georgia Tech 30 badly it was like tech's B team the B's B team the B's B team

every every team is Tech's B team Jason but yeah they did that and then they lost 42 35 to Clemson so even when they lost it was it was interesting this was like they were a high quality

B grade B plus grade team this feels like you're describing Arkansas too though I don't know where we've got the idea that Arkansas is boring because confusing. Arkansas was confusing to me. Well, what's wrong with that? Well, nothing. It's just when you try to discuss them and you go, well, here's what kind of a team they are. I, they, I mean, these teams sound exactly the same to me.

Hold on. Put up a lot of points and it'll be pretty weird. What's the, wait, why was Arkansas confusing? What's the most unexpected thing they did all year? well let's see let me give you this i mean where to begin so they lost the law tech no no see you to overtime in a win they beat they beat they beat la tech they almost lost oh sorry sorry what did they do 30 on dama nobody else came close to that right

they did what nobody else has done i guess they gave up 56 to auburn you know how hard that is in 2016 yeah they did 30 points on Bama and three on Auburn. No one has mentioned the most confusing thing. They gave Texas A&M a home win in the SEC West. Yeah. They're amazing.

They lost this Missouri team. This is, all right, you're right. This is a good They hit a Hyundai in an SEC West game. And then they lost, yeah, then they lost to Missouri. So after Alabama, this is what they scored. These are the number of points they scored in games. 34,

31, 10, 58, 24. It is, man, it's like playing bingo. Roll the dice. I love, this team technically finished with a winning record, but somehow this, what, 7 and 5 Arkansas team, more than any of the 5 and 7 teams I can think of, makes me think there are too many bowl games.

Because now we have to watch more of this. Hell yeah. That's fair That's fucking fair Listen, y'all are going to enjoy this ball Whether you Oh yeah I know I agreed
