Welcome to the Shutdown Fullcast 40 for 40. We do a podcast for every single bowl game in the 2016 bowl season, and we do them for as long as we like. We'd like to lead the Sugar Bowl preview by talking about the time I cried into the neck of a police horse because I was so drunk and emotional in New Orleans. I mean, horses have a lot of neck, so. They do, and I'll say this. N-O-P-D, they'd seen this before.

Like, he's crying, just let him. hug the horse for a minute and he'll walk away make sure he doesn't think he's a vampire and it's going to go fine i slept in a graveyard you slept in a graveyard that's good we're going to stop these stories before we get to the uh the park lot as your turn as your attorney i have to tell you to stop talking right now i will be getting to the elvis no no i have to i have to stop talking right now the elvis story we're here we're here to talk about auburn and oklahoma and how whoever wins this game, hey, I am excited for you to be well overranked entering 2017. Four, five maybe. Yeah, I think all of these are on the table. Oh, Oklahoma's going to be like, yeah, they're going to be like

two or three. If they lose, they probably won't be. That'll probably dock them a little bit. I don't know. I don't know. Oklahoma's rank is going to, let's make a bet right now. Oklahoma's rank to start the season next year is going to match their number of losses at the end of 2017. So, no, the question is, what will be higher? Oklahoma's preseason rank or the number of losses they have at the end of the year, right? I'll go three for both. Okay. Yeah, that seems...

Can I ask this? It's definitely not a joke. Definitely doesn't refer to an actual case. If Oklahoma loses this game, do you think they'll lose the tape? Do you think they'll hide the tape of the game? Wow. For years of the time. We'll see it in about 2019.

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be cool. Because, you know, Bob Stubes is, like, totally starting. like what i mean he's doing well that there's only two members of the team who currently have like domestic violence issues or like violence against women issues right

yeah yeah um a couple of others have moved on so yeah that's cool way to go bob it's an improvement from the current percentage but auburn is fine right yeah no we're going we're going hard on this fuck bob stoops yeah Auburn is actually uh currently

i i can't think of any uh outstanding incidents at the moment wait for the off season though because that's when Auburn checks we got to draw the line there I don't know about you I wouldn't fuck Bob Stoops Blaine Kippin's dick so about Auburn Auburn in this game coming in

hopefully Cameron Petway is going to be completely healthy and Sean White remember this offense functional to good when they had everyone healthy and when they did not have everyone healthy this offense was really bad and misfiring and dysfunctional and really did not look

anything like you would expect a Gus Malzahn offense to look. Sean White did not have a shoulder at the end of the season if you watch him play against Alabama be short-farming three-arm passes, it's bad. The Auburn offense this year was sort of like the space shuttle. If all the parts are there, great. And if they're not, oh, no.

Oh, no. Yeah, if one thing went wrong, if you blew an O-ring, you're going to have a congressional investigation like the Arkansas game. Yeah. Which, by the way, Arkansas game, congressional investigation the other way

because it was good. Yeah, the Georgia game is the implosion you're thinking of. Yeah, yeah. That's where Sean White is throwing passes two yards into the ground because he cannot actually launch the ball out of his crippled shoulder.

Allegedly everyone healthy now, and they will need that against Oklahoma, who got a lot better as the season went on. I also imagine there's a large overlap between these populations of people who have driven cross-country and adult diapers for what they thought was loved. Listen, love revenge.

It's all the same thing, in some sense. Boring. Yeah, this is, by the way, you know that it's a good season for Auburn when the previews for this game, and I looked up three of these previews and they all mentioned this, when they're like, yeah,

and they get a transfer of quarterback next season. Okay. That's what we're looking for in the 2016 bowl game. They're like, whoa, man, why do you see this guy who shows up in spring? Yeah, it's worked really well for them so far. Mostly, I'm just happy we finally get to see postseason football in New Orleans.
