Can I read you some reviews of Jack Link's Wild Dr. Pepper-inspired beef sticks?
I would love nothing more.
I mean, I think on this show we are pretty pro-adventurous food experimentation.
Ryan, I have a question before you begin.
Is this a Baylor-Color-Colodos-specific treat?
Nope.
Well, because we're combining what, Dr. Pepper and meat, meat that can be found in the middle of the way.
Sure. Yeah. I can see how you get there. No, this is a listener brought this to my attention yesterday, actually, and I've just been waiting to share it with you all.
We are pro-experiment with food. Come up with new flavors. Do things that the powerful say you shouldn't do with food.
However, that comes with a risk.
And that risk is that Jack Link's wild Dr. Pepper inspired,
and I can't emphasize enough how much this is inspired
and may not actually contain any Dr. Pepper.
These sticks only have a 2.6 out of 5 on Jacklinks.com.
Here are some reviews.
This is a one-star review from James.
Dr. Pepper is very bad.
do not spend your money on the doctor pepper the flavor is like the throw-up jelly bean that jellybelly had on the market i wasted three dollars i spit the first bite out then looked at the sell-by date i thought the meat could have been ruined but it was still in date from brayden one star it's not very good at all it tastes all right at first then it just tastes like you threw up in your mouth i'd be ashamed if this had my company's name on it from james one star why why would they be
make, let this make it out of the factory. I bought one for my son and myself, and we immediately
spit it out after the first bite. It tastes nothing like Dr. Pepper and has a horrible
aftertaste. I realize it's inspired by Dr. Pepper, but it, but which means it doesn't
necessarily taste like it, but they put Dr. Pepper's logo on it to make us think it would.
Anyway, I, I would never recommend wasting three dollars on it because I wouldn't eat it for
free. From Brett. One star, this was a mistake. I love beef jerky, and I love
love Dr. Pepper, but not together I find. I found out. I generally like the various flavors
that Jacklings puts out, but this one was terrible. I bought two sticks. I threw the first one out
after one bite, and I took the second to my office and got five people to try it, and they all
hated it as well. The worst part about this, these are just some, like, there are more
bad reviews. There is
somebody who works at Jack Links
whose whole job is to
respond to, it looks like one or
five star reviews. There is one five
star review. There's two. And
if you give a five star review, they're like, hey,
thanks for this. For
the one star reviews, they have to do things
like, hey, thanks for your honest feedback.
I will take your message back to the
food science team for future
consideration. Food science
team, everyone's just throwing away
the Dr. Pepper inspired.
I wonder if, like, the inspired is, like, Dr. Pepper's lawyers are like,
yo, you cannot make people think that this is what Dr. Pepper tastes like.
I guess.
You have to pin the blame upon yourself for what you were inspired to create.
I know how this happened.
Okay, please.
Please.
So the food science team got together and they go, ah, you know, Coca-Cola brine stuff.
Sometimes it tastes pretty good.
Well, we try Dr. Pepper and Jack thinks he's burrky.
And everybody's like, who, yeah, go for it.
So they got up and together and they did some tests.
And all the focus groups came back with the same thing, which is like, this tastes like the taint of the devil.
Do not, do not fucking put this shit on.
Do not.
This is a mistake.
Science shouldn't have gone this far.
And then the CEO who, I don't know, is probably like a three pack a day smoker or something.
Like somebody who could not taste anything.
Sure.
He walked in and was like, this the best stuff ever.
You got to make this.
And they're like, Grandpa Jack.
This is 93 years old.
Yes.
These are my legs.
and I taste it before they go out.
So, Mr. Linky Jack came in.
The Baylor-Color Colorado game, are you all watching this shit?
Yes.
Yes.
So it's overtime, and Baylor was about to score, and fumbled the ball into the end zone,
and Colorado appeared to pick it up, and then Colorado itself fumbled the ball out of the end zone.
And I don't know if the game has been declared over or not, but the students have mobbed the field.
And one of the goalposts has come down, even though it says official rebrands.
view going on right now?
I don't know if one of the...
This is some shit, man.
Now we have a split screen of the students rushing the field and of the slow-mo replay
happening.
Uh-huh.
Which, like, you kind of hope that...
You kind of hope at this point, I don't think it's going to...
I don't think they're going to give the ball back to Baylor, but you kind of hope that
they do, just so they have to figure out how to unfunk all this.
I don't know if I've ever seen that before.
Well, what, was it the...
There was, uh, the Utah.
saw BYU rush the field several times but yeah there was that one year where must did it like what
three times and one night yeah the must did it yeah legendary Baylor is only in this position
because they gave up a I think it's out on Colorado great ooh they haven't called that but I mean
this is my first chance to actually see the reef oh god wow oh you think Colorado knocked it out of
the end no I think Colorado dude has it as he's sliding out of bounds oh interesting
Not from that angle.
This is going to be a really great audio to listen to tomorrow.
Okay.
That's beautiful.
All you have to do was sync it up with Dark Side of the Moon.
If Baylor could just have not defended successfully a last second Hail Mary, which didn't even, like, I don't know.
Baylor deserves to lose this game for being disappointing.
Probably for what their Dr. Pepper has inspired.
Yes.
Yep.
Wouldn't it be kind of funny, though, if Dion became like a reverse crew?
and just went around the country saving people's jobs.
Huh.
That would be joining us.
Then we might actually get some utility out of this team
besides getting his kids drafted.
Well, no, no, no, no.
This is God's plan.
All right, Spencer, I guess you get to start the show now.
Speaking of God's plans.
Welcome to the full cast after dark for men
Welcome to the full cast after dark
Oh
That's me eating the jacks
Always good when a consumer product starts with
A review starts with this was a mistake
Or no
why why why why why why why did you all see the fella just about lose his pants hopping down
onto the field yes looked like he had some chinos without a belt I did I did
well welcome man okay yep welcome to the internet's only live what should we watch now
college football where we watch we watch college football and then presented by who
presented by who presented by prize picks thank you hmm
That's our sponsor, and we think that...
Oh, Predator 2 is on BBC America, if anybody's interested.
Yeah, other than that, it looks like our best option right now is Kansas State, BYU, and that's about the good half-time.
Okay.
Gonna need to do that.
Predator 2 is the one where the predators give prizes to those who survive their trials.
Well, to Danny Glover, yes.
That's...
Respect.
I bet the Predators would fucking love Dr. Pepper-inspired beeflings.
Nope.
Nope, that's why they came here.
Punishment.
Gonna make sure that never happens again
by hunting all of us to extinction.
Okay.
Hey, what did you guys watch today?
I watched some football.
I too watched football.
Man, what a set.
Thanks for that one, bud.
I'm great.
It was a Saturday,
and you know what kind of football is on a Saturday?
The college kind.
The college sort.
NCAA football
I will tell you
I will say the thing that I watched
that most astonished me at all
was last night actually
oh actually today
part of it was today technically
sure
last night was crazy last night's slate really delivered
it was I think the best
concentrated football matter
happened on Friday night
slash Saturday morning
for anyone who did not manage to stay up
or like me fall asleep
and then wake up in the fourth quarter,
and that's when you know you're in a good game.
It's when you wake up at 1.30 in the morning, turn it on,
and Wazoo's like, you're never going to sleep again.
Well, all three games went nuts.
Like, Illinois and Nebraska went to overtime.
Stanford won on the other side of the world.
Yeah.
And then the Wazoo stuff happened on the CW, no less.
There was some unfortunate CW slander, which they responded to.
And look what happened to that party.
TCU who was posting earlier in the week
Admen was griping about their game being on the CW
and then after they got 66
Is that the number correct?
Hung on them by SMU
Then the CW account hit them with the Dawson's Creek theme
That's what happened
Yeah you got hit with Paul Cole
Which if you remember the last line of that chorus is
Will it be yes or will it be sorry
May have
Got him
This is an ass kicking
There were a couple
There were a couple real real
Like I think Baylor
Colorado was more representative
Of what a lot of today was
Like a lot of games
And last night too
A lot of games that like went down close
Feature teams coming back from behind
Like kind of decided in the last minute or so
But like
The iron
skillet and that was not one uh real quick has matt brown has mac brown quit let's just start
there kind of he threw himself a pity party in the long room i think is maybe the best description
based on one of heard the inciting incident for those unaware james madison 70 north carolina 50
to put a finer point on it these are jm u's halftime stats you got beat by the short founding father
18 offensive yards, 13.7 per pass, 6.8 yards per rush, four turnovers forced, a blocked punt
touchdown, a pick six, and 53 points allowed at halftime. It was, it was like, not only
was JMU scoring like pretty much every time on offense, it was like, they were scoring on
defense as well. It was just, yeah. Like, and we are not, we are used to seeing JMU give
higher pedigree, let's call teams problems and beat them.
And like this, they are on, they are on the list of like G5 teams that it's like,
oh, that might go very poorly for you.
That part is not new.
70, 70 points?
7.0?
That's, that's a lot.
There's so many points.
That's a lot even by UNC's defense's recent standards.
Yeah.
Yeah. And now Mac Brown's in the locker room saying, I'm going to quit. I'm tired. I'm going home.
I can't watch this shit in. I got a plane to catch.
I got my man's group.
Like, bring me back Gene Chiswick. Bring me back Gene Chiswick in that shirt he's wearing on his Wikipedia page. Have you seen this?
Wait, is it still the denim paisley-chambray?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, he's still looking. It's still looking great.
It's one of his L-Cchapo shirts. You need that man.
Yes, yeah, with his big old cuffs.
Why don't you bring me one of them, we'll wear large, colorful shirts like El Chapo.
That's what I need more of, is I need more Paisley shirts.
Gene, let's you and me go to Coldwater Creek together.
I'm going to drown you and steal your shirt.
That's not what Cold Water Creek is, but Gene doesn't know that.
That's how I take your essence.
Yeah, this was from Inside Carolina who said,
I want to lay you down on Garnet Hill, Gene.
I'm sorry.
He said that he wasn't resigning or quitting.
We moved on.
But he also said that he would step down from his coaching post if that were best for the team.
I understand that there may be some...
There he is.
There's also an option where somebody, where Matt goes,
well, if old Mac, if old Mac has to walk out that door,
and they're all like, no, Mac, don't do that.
No, come back.
Come back. No, no.
But that's not the part.
And then he gritties back into the room.
yeah oh max back everybody
got a
three point win over Wake Forest under our belt
everything's great
yeah they haven't even started conference play yet
no not even
close not not even there
and JMU
fucking smoke them
now this is the part that I find
most interesting in all of that
that there is a paragraph or two
that's basically like this is all
very embarrassing but no Mac
don't go come back back back
And then at the very end of the paragraph, doing all of this.
But if Mack does not come back,
tight ends coach and run game coordinator,
Freddie Kitchens has players support a ticket interim roll.
What?
You do this whole thing.
There's like two paragraphs, three paragraphs of this like,
I don't know, it's a complete situation.
And Max accomplished a lot.
But if you don't want to do it, you can go ahead and just put Freddie,
and the players will be fine with it.
Which is mostly funny because Jeff Collins is the defensive coordinator.
Granted, they just gave up 70 points.
Not all of them by the defense, but a whole shitload of them.
Well, so Jeff should clearly be elevated to an administrative role while someone else takes his job.
There's just absolutely no suggestion that, like, yeah, he was a head coach.
Again, didn't go super well at Georgia Tech, so I get why it's not.
But I appreciate that they're like, you know who would be great this job?
Someone who's not Jeff Collins.
That's who?
A former head coach of the Cleveland Browns, everyone's first chance.
yeah that's that's what happened so yeah unc unc um as treble law would say they ate that shit today
they ate that shit hard they also came they also came reasonably close to making this up
that's that's the most hilarious part about this is that there is a point in this game
where um they they cut it to 63 44 with 11 minutes to go
And you're like, okay, like, that's a lot of points, but...
This game's stupid.
Stupid things are happening.
This game is stupid.
Maybe it will happen.
And then JM used to tacked on another touchdown, so it didn't matter.
Jim, you was like, let's show you the...
Hey, little brother, that's cute that you got this far back.
But let James Madison, longtime FBS program, show you how it's done.
you know who else ate that shit today that's right
NC State because Clemson came out and
put 45 on him in the first half
4 or 5
4 or 5 this is a fun point in the season when it's like
we get to play the who looked like what against who game
because it's like okay wow my god Georgia
they must be incredible they beat Clemson and it's like oh well
I guess Kentucky is one step shy of incredible you know
and then it's uh and it's just a very fun point where you try to mash the data points together
and nah don't don't do that and you and then inevitably you end up having to think about
lSU the the like i think lSU might at this point be the hardest team to have any sort of
meaningful beat on uh it it might also uh USC is up there and fortunately they are also uh corrupting each
others data as well. I do know something is one thing pretty useful about USC based on their
loss to Michigan. Their offensive line has some problems, some serious, serious problems. Is that their
only line that has some problems? I mean, not the only one, but it's the one, it's the one that
Miller Moss is probably most concerned about at this point. So, uh, so let's discuss this game,
uh, USC against Michigan, um, when it's like it's, it's what a storyline game. It just, it went
according to script, I think, because, you know, USC, all right, we're in the big, we're going to do
the big 10 thing. We're going to show these country boys how it's done. And, you know, and then,
oh my God, Michigan ran for about a million yards and threw for about two.
32, 32 yards of passing for Michigan. There was a point in the first quarter where Spencer tweeted,
like, Michigan throw fewer than 15 passes challenge. They did. They threw 12 for 2.7 yards. For 2.7
yards at pop and it they didn't even do the like you know the thing army and navy sometimes do
where it's like well some of these we're gonna fucking uncork right yeah longest pass went for 10
yards this was not a setting up the deep shot thing it was like throwing when we're like yeah
the guys are tired of running let's just let's let's get a throw in it's it's yes like it's
it's basically we're at the buffet and gosh these biscuits look delicious
and I'm so excited to eat some fried chicken and fine.
I will eat some tomato.
Here is some tomato on my plate.
It counts.
Alex Orgy ran 13 times with 12 throws.
My man was putting up 1932 numbers.
These are literally 1932 numbers where you go,
oh, 43 yards rushing, 32 yards passing.
A dynamo, Heisman.
An offensive Vesuvius.
I looked up, since they hired Harbaugh in 2015,
they have had six games in which they have thrown fewer than 100 yards,
excuse me, less, and they are six and oh in those games.
If Michigan is throwing in the double digits, they're fucking unstoppable.
The brand is so strong, so strong.
32 yards.
Lincoln Riley's over there just his newfangled mine computer falling apart.
Watching this.
This is what you have to do to win here.
And it's not like they jumped out to some huge league.
and we're just like, okay, park the bus.
Like, yes, they did hold the lead for almost the entire game.
USC didn't take the lead until I think it was like seven minutes left in the fourth quarter.
But, so there was like need for them to generate offense, and they still were like, nope, fuck you.
It's run, and then it's run, and then it's run, and then it's run.
But we're hitting it as hard as we can.
This bus is parked.
There was definitely the sense that, like, oh, USC is going to hit a big one.
and then, you know, then this whole thing's going to fall apart for Michigan.
But it just kept not happening.
Miller Moss played really well.
His offensive line got him destroyed.
Did not.
There were some of the most, like,
whoop blocks, some of the most heavy olees I've seen in a real long time.
And it's kind of a miracle that they even had 283 yards passing
or had positive rushing.
they did have a 65-yard rush that kind of skewed things by Woody Mark.
That's on 51 throws.
Yeah, which I know people are going to go, well, Lincoln Riley abandoned the run.
Ha, that's wild.
I don't think they had much of a choice.
I don't think that line can run.
Yeah, you take away the 165-yarder, and then it was 21 for about 30.
It was like one or two yards per carry minus the one big run.
Yeah, like credit to Michigan's defense, who were.
live nasty and disrespectful the entire game
that line has got issues
and this is you want to talk about corrupting data
okay this is lSU corrupting our data on usc
because you go huh u sc looking a little stout
and then michigan comes through and goes hey you want a shot of this brother
peer big ten and u sc's like i can hang no they couldn't
come over here we're having a heavy cream chugging contest
you want in i just i think i figured out like
Like how I conceptualize Lincoln Riley, and it's basically just like tech bro, right?
Who's like, he's figured out he's going to mind hack the whatever and, you know, synergize the agile, whatever.
And no, you're just going to get, you're just going to get a punch in the face.
That's all that's going to happen.
Yeah.
And that's what happened.
And you'll do that with really good skill players, and that's how you lose by three.
You lose by three because the other team ran the ball, 46 goddamn times.
straight at your face.
I have another one I wanted to mention, by the way.
I thought we were out of games, so I'm glad.
That's good. Yeah, no, no, no. There were more games, Ryan.
Good.
I wanted to mention a game that confounded me.
I have no idea how this game actually managed to be this close for this long.
I'm glad it is. I understand it's not a win, Vanderpilt, but for a long, long time, you were right there.
with one of the SEC's better teams, allegedly, in Mizzou, the 4-0 Missouri Tigers after today.
Data is limited, but generally most people seem to think they're pretty good.
And they've got a nice three-headed monster offensively, and their defense is tight.
And what Vanderbilt has is, a heart of gold, a dream, and Diego Pavia.
That's it. That's all Vandy's got.
At 2-2, they are the ultimate jobber.
They are the team that is going to help you get over.
they're the team that I think they are the most
if I were to pick the team that most
represented the spirit of today
was it an exceptionally well-played game
no no it was not
what was the margin of victory
me a single score
single score did it come down to the end yes
was it epic and heroic
not particularly sometimes
sometimes these games come down too
I have successfully filled out this paperwork
oh I spot a typo
I win yeah there were
there were five misfield goals which
that that kind of give that if you didn't see any of it just let that number sort of sort of there there
there were five miss field goals there were also makes from 57 and 54 yards all or nothing
like okay cool guys good shit yeah fandy's kicker missed a 30 yarder that would have continued
overtime but right before the half ended hit the 57 yarder yeah week four we missed some kicks
It's a pretty good summary.
Yeah, I'm annoyed with Vandy.
I've got to be honest.
Like, this is one you should have won Vanderbilt.
That's all.
Like, I don't think Missouri played particularly well.
I think Vanderbilt could have won this game,
and is probably going to be annoyed that they didn't.
Because the longer, the longer this goes,
it does feel like eventually people are going to be like,
okay, we understand, like, we see Vanderbilt's one weird trick.
And we are going to just, like, game.
playing around it. And I don't know that they have a second weird trick. And now they have
dropped, they've dropped two winnable games in a row here. We are not that far away from
four and O Vanderbilt, but in Sethertoon, too. Yes. And you could have stolen this one too
because it was on the road. Yeah. Yeah. Could have driven it like you stole it. Like pirates would
have done. Pirates would have done that. Speaking of committing crimes, did anyone watch Auburn?
I was just catching up by a sudden.
Jason, I have so many thoughts on this game.
Oh, yeah.
I didn't see any of it, but I noticed the final score.
Just couldn't help but notice the final score
and also Auburn's current record, which is 2 and 2.
Okay, so Jason, have you ever really seen someone shit themselves in real life?
Like in a bar?
Like drunk off their ass?
Yes, yes.
I have seen that.
Okay, that's the first half.
Okay, who is shitting?
mostly Auburn
no it's everyone it's everyone
because Auburn turned the ball over
four times in the first half
and the half time score was Arkansas
7 Auburn zero
if you get four turnovers
and a half you surely shit better
score more than seven points
disagree
Ryan thank you Coach Pittman
yes
so Auburn
Mr. Poopie Pants
totally Hank Brown started
because they were like, ah, we have our starter.
Hank Brown, today, 7 for 13, 72 yards, 3 interceptions.
Hank Brown, which also sounds like a quaint, old-timey slang for shitting your pants.
Yeah, yeah, well, you know old Hank Brown over there.
I've got to go see Hank Brown.
Well, after they switch quarterbacks, which always fixes everything, and kind of did.
They got a little more production out of Peyton Thorne, but that's not what the second half is about.
What I love about the second half is that DJ Durkin,
and the defensive staff of Auburn decided to really mess with Tailing Green by moving linebackers around.
They decided to do all this stuff like, ooh, we'll show you a different look and we'll get a bunch of pressure.
We'll just see what you can do.
And at one point in the fourth quarter with about 10 minutes left, Bobby Petrino was like, fuck this shit.
And just started running the fucking ball.
And I mean, I mean annihilating.
Auburn, just like, grab them by the lapels, and they were like, listen, you fuck.
And just started running Jaquindon Jackson, Braille and Russell, and Taylor and Green just started running them.
Like, I am so tired of your shit, eat this fist.
And that's what they did.
And it took 75 yards, six minutes off the clock.
It was 12 plays.
and the look on Hugh Freeze's face and on the Auburn side line was just broken.
Just like you.
I won't do what you tell me.
Yeah, it's, uh, so, so this, this starts with a pass interference penalty on Auburn, um, on third and ten after an incomplete pass where they thought they were going to get the ball back where I think also.
So it was either on this or on the play before it.
A Arkansas, I think a tackle, basically like suplexed a pass rusher and the rest didn't call a goddamn thing.
Suplex is not our word, by the way, if you read Hugh Freeze's lips on the sidelines.
He said, he suplexed the shit out of him.
He was so mad.
And then they ran the ball.
Which thanking you for making it sound even cooler than it looked.
And then they ran the ball 10 straight times for a touchdown.
Just, it was the most spiteful, hateful, like, I hate you, I hate this whole game.
I hate this whole experience.
Sim, yeah, Sim to end.
Give me a hammer.
It was, it was, like, he was making them eat a cart and a cigarette.
Which in Arkansas is like, that's like a Tuesday, but, you know, Auburn's a bit more.
Auburn's got a refined palate.
If you are, if you were a homeowner and you've ever had to deal with rodents in your house, like, if you ever had rats from a construction site, they were like, hey, your house looks like a nice new place.
initially you start with
well I want a humane trap
and then at one point
like Bobby Petrino
with 10 minutes left in the game
they go I'm killing everyone
I'm killing all of you
I'm just gonna end it
give me the biggest bluntest instrument
I could find
and we're just going to end this
it was it was my favorite thing
I saw today
spiteful hateful beautiful powerful football
can I read a tweet
yeah it's a big tweet
I don't really usually read
a blue check tweets but yeah
well you know the blue check account
They get to do the big fat tweets.
This man's a doctor.
This man's a doctor, though.
So this comes to us from Dr. Bo Wallace,
a person whose nickname was derives from me playing someone in NCAA 13, I think.
It was literally a decade ago when this nickname arose.
Bo Wallace writes in,
we're approaching the point that he's thrown so many QBs under the bus
that maybe no one wants to play for him.
His offense helped me tremendously put up numbers up when I blew my shoulder out.
But why is it someone else's fault every time there's a loss?
But when there's a win, I watch the press conference,
is just to count how many times the word I is used.
Appreciate what he did for me.
My son wouldn't be playing for him, though.
It goes on and on.
And Dr. Poe...
There's some precision church shit.
Just a lot of paragraphs here in a single tweet about Hugh Freeze.
Granted, you can find one from a year prior
in which Dr. Bo is defending Hugh Freeze.
But that's a big tweet.
And I guess it's not what you want
when you find yourself in a situation
in which Auburn resides, where they're two and two
with numerous good opponents still on the schedule,
including Alabama, Georgia, Vanderbilt.
And no real solution as far as how to score the points,
the main thing?
Like, the main thing you hired Hugh Freeze for?
Well, actually, that's not true.
You hired him because he, like, fluked his way
into a couple wins over Bama.
But, yeah, there's just no real anything to hope for here.
Whoa, Eagle.
No.
send it back
It's not my line
Crate
Well the Ed said
Since they became UC Auburn
I believe they are
Peace Eagle
Thank you
Um
Cal fucking lost
And I'm so
They lost because they used up
All their energy on AI
Maybe so
Yeah
Maybe so
Fucking AI memes
AI merchants
Florida State's defense looks better
Let's leave it at that
Sure
that I mean
nobody in this game could block
which is a mean way of saying both
defensive fronts looked great
yeah yeah
well this is the thing with Cal football though
every result
is an uncertain one
by theory like theoretically
and in practice
no Cal game ever proves anything
does this mean Florida
State salt no
no absolutely not
if now
if Cal had won did that mean
Cal was good. Absolutely not.
Kind of. Yeah, I would say so at that point. I would say so.
Oh, I disagree.
Hold on. I think you're overstating what good means.
Like, does that mean like, four and, four and O?
Yeah, four and O's good. Four and O's good when you've had to play two road games against
power conference teams. Yeah, it's four. Both of you, both of you are priors good.
Find me a four. No, go on the standings and find me a four and O team that's not good.
In this, okay, if, if it's nearly impossible to go 12 and 0, why is it,
why can't even you say good for 4 and O?
Liberty's losing.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, like, it's, you know, does good mean they're going to win the, so is it literally,
even if Cal is like 12 and O, they're still completely unknowable?
If you flip a coin.
That's a back brown talk.
If you flip a coin and it comes up heads or tails, what's going to happen the next time you flip it?
That's Cal, okay?
Cal is Anton Shiguri.
out here.
Okay.
Okay.
The universe has an order.
Woke and tons of what you call.
Tadons aren't very DEI.
Um,
I would like to just briefly acknowledge the book.
I got a dairy.
What, Ryan, sorry.
No.
I wanted, I wanted to give you space to paint your picture.
Oh, no, that's all right.
Penn State 56, Kent State Zero.
How, without looking, would anyone like to guess how many yards of offense
Kent State generate?
in this game.
16.
Okay.
Eighty-three.
Okay.
Eight.
By Price's right rules, Jason is closest because the answer is 67.
Cool.
How many yards of offense do you think Penn State generated in this game?
48.
Wait.
Yeah, a lot of special teams, miscues, I think.
But Penn State just couldn't get the offense going.
Eight punt return touchdowns, I believe.
I will take a stab.
650.
718.
Shut.
More.
718.
You're saying that's more.
I saw a scroll across the lower that said this was the first time a Big Ten team outgained an opponent by over 600 yards in the last century.
Which makes me wonder what the fuck the University of Chicago was doing to some poor souls back in the day.
or now we see why they quit yeah yeah it's too easy too boring no world's left to conquer um
yeah there there not not much needs to be said about this game except thank you user who points out
that's more than jm you had between that's more than you and c gave up which is our yes this is
our new scale of an ass beating that's bad by mac brown standards okay so so cud
Chuer is saying they had a running clock in the second half even, which the thing that they
turned down when they played Tennessee last week, which at least somewhat explains why we're
only looking at 56 points. Kent State has under, like, after the last two weeks, Kent State
football plans. They've already hit the point of the video game where they go, I'm going to go down
on difficulty. It seems like you need help. They've been playing on nightmare mode this whole
time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is,
this is,
other than when they lost to a mid-tier
FCS team.
This is like not,
this makes me feel
slightly uncomfortable.
Like,
buy games,
sure,
I get why they exist,
spread the wealth,
et cetera,
et cetera.
This is something darker.
This is something much more
unpleasant.
Don't spread this much wealth.
No.
No.
Like the team that should be
enduring this is Harvard.
Sure.
They should finally earn
their fucking keep for once.
That's fine.
Or like, look, Texas A&M beat Bowling Green 2620.
I didn't watch any of this.
But I like that Bowling Green...
I like that Bowling Green is putting the fear of God into teams.
They did this to Penn State for...
Like, Penn State pulled away in the end.
Texas A&M really let them stick around for a bit here.
Like, that's the kind of buy game I want,
the kind where it's like, uh-oh, we maybe made a bad choice.
It's really putting on a show.
A&M for the home.
folks i really who does kent state play next they're into their max schedule now so they're
okay so we don't have to think about them anymore huh all right well oh boy yeah folks tune in for
favorite segment of the show kent state schedule time okay holly have you gone outside your
your mic has gone it uh oh either that or you're off your you're off your you're you're
you're going off your laptop mic or something.
No, Kent State does not play Toledo.
They do play the aforementioned Bowling Green.
They play Buffalo, who just beat Northern Illinois.
So they therefore have a transitive win over Notre Dame
and therefore a transitive win over Texas A&M.
They play Miami of Ohio.
There's some games on here.
They play Eastern, oh, they play Eastern Michigan next.
Eastern Michigan is not a fun team to play.
Like whatever Kent State.
State is doing in these games, Eastern Michigan is a very different kevel fish.
We've talked about Ken State too much. That's my fault. Spencer, please pull us on to something
else.
Yeah, Spencer, pull us out of this ditch.
I'm going to find a prettier ditch.
Yeah, that's fine. Different ditch works.
Gross.
Pretty your ditch.
I wanted to mention that right now it is BYU 17, Kansas State 6. So Kansas
struggling here early in the third quarter on the road in Prevue.
Oh, we all know what BYU is, but until you've seen a crowd shot of BYU on Whiteout
Night, it really doesn't sink in.
Yeah, it is, it is unreal.
I wanted to go back, because I didn't really encapsulate that Wazoo San Jose State game.
I just wanted to list the things that actually happened in that game.
Sure.
because we did not go over it to the extent that I think this work of art really deserves.
First of all, Washington State was down two scores in the fourth quarter, made it all the way back up, got into overtime, and then both teams did something that I don't think I've ever seen before.
Double picks!
Both ended their OT, the first OT, by throwing interceptions.
to the other. Yes.
Smasy.
Exotic. San Jose State
pulled.
There was that one
Notre Dame Michigan game with
Danard Robinson and
shoot, who was the Notre Dame
quarterback for that?
Tommy Reese.
I think if that had gone
to overtime, they could have achieved that, but
they didn't. So, wow.
Yeah, that's, that happened.
San Jose State also,
by the way, had like a fake punt and an onside, and they pulled both, and they still lost.
This is bizarre-ass San Jose State, the new run-and-shoot team that is being coached by Ken Neo-Montalolo.
He, the king of the triple option.
Their leading receiver is, I believe, a converted quarterback who just had 152 yards and two TDs.
He's crazy.
He's leading the nation and receiving Nick Nash.
And then the guy I wanted to get to who really, really, really.
is vying for a Bradley Van Pelt award this year, like, as one of two people who
determine who wins this award, I will tell you, I'm pretty in the bag for John Mateer.
Oh, it's going to be hard to catch him at this point, and that's in a field that still
includes last year's winner.
Yeah, John Mateer, what constitutes the most college football player of a single college
football season?
The answer is this, when you run for 111 yards in a pell-mell fashion,
as if you were being chased by weasels,
like just side to side,
no real logic on where you're going,
just whim followed by whim,
when you pass for 390 and 4 TDs,
but you also throw two picks,
including one in the second overtime,
or in the first overtime,
when all you needed was a field goal to win,
and instead you were like,
freedom!
And you throw the ball,
and you get a pick.
And now we've got to go to a second overtime,
because, you know,
you were feeling it.
You're feeling it, brother.
I get it.
John Mateer.
My favorite, maybe my favorite player right now.
He's close.
While we are on Friday night, I've read this several times, and it still seems impossible.
Nebraska, with their overtime lost, Illinois, has now played eight overtime games in a row where they have not scored a single point, and they have not picked up a single first down.
Mm-hmm.
That's...
Is that bad?
That's bad.
It's just baffling, truly.
It's really like...
Like, I kind of understand the point thing, because if you just go to one overtime and you give up a touchdown right away and, you know, you're not kicking a field goal just to set...
You're not doing the Billy Napier in a bowl game thing where it's like, well, let's just get points on the board and go home.
But, like, to not even get one first down, not even by a penalty, not even by actually.
accident? Like, that seems, that seems wild to me. And, and it wasn't even like Nebraska played
that badly, truthfully, against Illinois. But this feels, this just feels bad and wrong and
kind of cursed. I feel bad saying that it's cursed because Nebraska's had to deal with so much,
but that's just a, that's a fact that feels cursy. This is a lingering curse. Yeah. When you got a
curse that big uh you can't just sweep it all the way at once so you need tag team still some vapors
you don't need a priest you need like you need a four man five man tag team of priest right like
i'm live let's go yeah they got they got to they got to take rounds at this because
this is it's bad a dillera will look great he did but so did luke the nuke altmyer
yeah that's right is is bret bea a really good coach i asked this the other
day and I got several people mad at me.
Are they all Arkansas fans?
A new experience for you.
Yeah, that's fair.
Was this on Blue Sky?
It doesn't matter where it was.
Were these angry people all Arkansas fans?
It was a mix, really.
It was some Big Ten fans.
It was some Arkansas fans.
It was some, like, but like, I don't know, just sort of sitting with it.
And I know that there's a lot of other intervening things that go into this.
How about this?
Burt knows ball.
I think I would say Bert is a really good big.
10 coach. Okay. Certify ball knower. Good big 10 coach. I also feel like he does he does the thing that a lot of coaches for some reason struggle with where he looks at like, okay, this is my roster and this is what they're good at. And we're going to do those things. And there are a lot of coaches who don't seem, even they can't figure out what the good things are or they don't lean into them. Or they don't have a good single player. Or they don't have good things. Or they don't have good things. There could be that sometimes.
he is a practical coach
which I think is weirdly
in
and sometimes flagrantly in short supply
among his peers
yeah
Lincoln
talking to you
yeah
what's my mind palace
stop doing voices
you're just trying
stop trying to get back to the eggs
we're not doing the eggs right now
it's not when I am yet we're not doing the eggs
we're a horrible sentence by itself
All right, to get you off of that, Spencer.
Stop trying to get back to the eggs.

Imagine the eggs all those people have.
Say it with me.
Like Burdo.
Say it with me.
All you do is pick
more eggs. More or less.
Less eggs. Fewer eggs.
Two to six players.
Less. Egg.
And watch the winnings roll in.
For instance, if you wanted to go ahead and, you know,
oh, how am I going to do it? You could do what I did.
You go, I think that today, Arch Manning is going to have more yards than this.
and I also think that
God, what was his name?
I was running back.
I was running back.
I'm such an expert.
Less.
That's right.
Dr. Eggman.
That is correct.
Dr. Eggman, that he was going to have
more than 85 yards rushing,
which by the way, he did.
It's just archmanning did not have my number.
But it was still great fun
anticipating trying to figure that out.
And it was so simple that even me, me caveman, could use it, all right.

member of uh vall twitter which is big john eight six five and we'll say we could have scored 50
today and i am red-assed about it but by god i will take it because that was squirley
I, when I switched to another game, I had seen at least two places where Tennessee turned the ball over
and then seeming immediately, Oklahoma turned the ball right back over, including...
That was downright hospitable of them.
The first of which was like three yards away from the Tennessee end zone, I believe.
That was very weird.
It's weird watching that shit happen to a different team.
I have seen comparisons start to be drawn between Brett and Venables and Will Mustchamp and,
I don't know how I feel
about them at this point, but
Oh, no.
No.
I would like to say
What's the overall win-loss record?
Hmm.
Go ahead, Holly.
Now I'm looking up as one loss record.
It's 19 and 11.
It's not awesome.
At a job that used to be
like very turnkey.
Bob was in the booth, by the way.
With a beard, but no
mustache, at least from what we could see.
Is Abe Lincoln in it?
It's an unusual look.
I thought he looked good with the USFL stubble he had going on, but he's trying to
kemped it.
I don't know if he's naturally a kemp dude.
I hope that Mike Stoops was up there somewhere, just annoying the shit out of him.
Hey, hey, Bob, can I have a dollar?
Can I have a dollar for the hot chocolate machine?
Hey, Bob, I drop my hot chocolate.
The hot shot is...
Hey Bob, can we call Bernie Mac?
Hey, Bob.
Mike, Mike.
It is head canon.
It is head canon that it is real life that Bob Stoops hung out with Cedric, the entertainer.
It is head canon that Mike Stoops thinks that's Bernie Mac.
Okay.
So all the original kings of comedy reside in Norman, Oklahoma.
I thought it was going to be that...
Whether they are with us here on Earth or not.
I thought it was going to be that Bob couldn't bear to explain the concept of death to Mike.
Just kidding. I hope Bob was puking himself sick up there.
Just sweet, sweet, sweet Mike.
But we don't need to hear from my dark passenger tonight.
The VALs are now, I believe, still the most reliable team in the country against the Vegas Pred.
What a position to be in.
The steady, reliable, the best investment in all of business, Tennessee Valls.
It's all right, because we got a, oh, God, here's a fun sentence.
Really glad we have a week off before Arkansas.
Here is
She won't say it
Oh no
I will
This team
It's secretly hoss
This is a secret
Secret hoss team
Because everyone I think coming in
We'll go
Can I put images in the chat
Because I have something to say
About the gimmick offense
I don't think it will work
That will work actually
Oh that sucks
Do it with emojis
That sucks
Because I have a screen cap
Of eight straight runs
By the same back
To score a touch
scored of the last touchdown for the second half.
There are certain things that everybody needs to just go ahead and accept about this team.
Dylan Sampson is now Travis Sampson.
I do not make the rules.
They are a run team.
That's it.
They are a run team.
This team's really good at running, y'all.
Sorry.
Yeah, this offense is based on the run.
This is a team powered by the run game and defense.
Offensive line, malicious.
Defensive line?
Active.
Active.
Oklahoma.
they might suck on offense, but Tennessee was more than happy to be an accomplice.
Also, with the quarterback in his fifth collegiate start,
and I think maybe all the expected, I don't want to say he was skittish,
but Nico didn't have a proximity alarm yet.
He holds the ball a little long sometimes.
Well, okay, he already holds the ball a little too long,
but also he does not yet have a developed radar for when guys are coming right up behind him.
but they did not let that scuttle them
and that's something that in the past would not have been the case
so that was interesting a team that is not like hunter's good kickers good
lines are solid we'll be fine yeah yeah there's just like
I regret to inform the haters myself sometimes included here
they're just solid man that's just a solid team and the part that has the most to learn
and could improve the most and frankly is the part
that I think needs the most work when you look at it.
Is the offense.
Is the quarterback?
And he's good.
Some of y'all in here, you know who you are.
Some of y'all owe 10 banks a fucking apology.
You'll say the secondary still suspect.
The entire point of this defense is this.
We have taken all of our points for character development and allotment,
and we have put it into doom monsters on the line.
Secondary still suspect.
I watched two West Virginia corners concuss one another,
are running into each other on a punt return today.
I don't want to hear about a suspect secondary.
They did.
Oh, God, they did.
Here's the other thing.
Oklahoma, the most, must-champi thing, the thing that I think when you say, that's
who he reminds you of, I could get this.
When your coach starts to resemble the overtaxed engineer on a doomed ship where something
goes wrong every five minutes and is always something different, that's when I know
things aren't going well.
Okay, can I say something nice about Oklahoma that I really mean?
Y'all should hang on to that freshman quarterback.
Like, I don't know, I don't really know what possessed you to, well, like, based on gameplay tonight, based on the span of one gameplay,
don't really know what you're doing with Jackson Arnold when you got that freshman.
I'm scared as hell of that freshman.
I'm very glad that they took him out.
I don't want to see him again.
Michael Hawkins Jr.
There, yeah, there, him.
He's tiny.
he's tiny protect him with your life he's going to be great holy shit yeah he's going to be really fun
but so go um oh you were going to say something about okoma no i was just going to say
when you fix the offense and the defense falls apart and then you fix the offense
or fix the defense then the offense falls apart and something new goes wrong and then we make a
kicking mistake then there's an execution mistake then uh the boiler exploded and i fixed that
but the steering's gone and whoops the sump pump circuit yeah like that's kind of the feel that
you get with Brett Venables
I don't know what the
consistent thing you're describing Chewbacca
in like the Empire Strikes Back
any number
of movie characters here yeah
like just Brett Venables looking up
going
Oh man
This is unfortunate
Yep Oklahoma is a car
after it is paid off
80,000 miles and paid off
and all of a sudden every light
in the fucking dash goes off
So I think looking at upcoming schedules, I might consider Tennessee the safest bet to make the playoff.
And that doesn't mean any game other than Bama or Georgia, they are a 100% lock to win.
But just probability-wise, there is not a lot other than those two games.
Whereas Georgia, you know, Georgia has like at Bama, at Texas, at Ole Miss, plus Tennessee.
Jason, you're skipping the resurgent Florida Gators.
Texas is actually the team, the team I'm surprised you would have.
put ahead of Tennessee.
Texas also has a bit more
on their schedule than Tennessee does.
I'm not talking about team quality.
I'm just talking about, and like, I'm counting
Red River as loseable, because it always is.
Right, I guess that's true. Texas
playing Oklahoma is not the same thing as Tennessee
playing Oklahoma. Sure, exactly. Yeah, there's
mystical powers at play.
Yeah, by Tennessee's standards,
this schedule is very manageable,
which is a weird thing to say.
But seriously, how about them resurgent Florida
Gators? A double. I
baby i don't think we have to talk about this come on we had to do mine for like 10 minutes yours was yours was
a matchup of top 25 undefeated top 25 teams good friends listen to endless love in the dark
i don't like this there's nothing interesting that florida did today though no i think the only
interest i didn't watch them the only interesting thing i saw was did and i'm curious if they actually
did this i saw that they announced that they were going to uh play dj lagway on like the
ninth and eleventh or something third sixth and ninth like what kind of fucking i believe that's called
the little john plan it's just the fumbling for like well i have i'll save the company it's just
uh god fucking joe bluth is our coach hate it yeah you know what's awesome is that when you all
say stupid shit on lincoln i know your real name um um
I'm going to recommend you for cock-sucking.
Oh, I would.
Can you do that?
Financial planning.
Okay.
At the same time.
Make sure it's one tag.
Yes.
The Utah, with the typically injury hampered Utah, their fifth stringers, as per usual, went out there and went into Stillwater and defeated Oklahoma State.
Name the score of any Utah game, 2219.
What was the school of this game?
2219.
This was 11 to 6.
And that's only because Oklahoma State like pushed on the gas in the 4th quarter.
There was a little flurry at the end.
Yeah.
It was, they were, they were standing on them for almost all the entire game.
Yeah.
Love you, Utah.
Love you so much.
It was rough.
Like there, you look at the drive chart for this and it's a lot of like, oh, you had drives
that had less than six yards.
A lot of them.
That seems bad.
That's a.
bad plan and then they scored two touchdowns on their last two drives when they were already
in a 22 to 3 hole i wanted to mention another team from florida florida international uh christened
pit bulls stadium and how did they do that wait was this really that was this really the first oh my god
they had a home game before this i'm pretty sure okay i don't think this was the vision yeah but
this is monmouth they beat they beat cm u but
Yeah, Monmouth did go into Pitbull Stadium and take it over.
That's right.
Monmouth went in, and you need to respect the Monmouth Hawks,
who are now two and two after handing the third loss to the Florida International Panthers.
This game ended with Monmouth stripping FIU on the one-yard line
as they were going in for the go-ahead score.
Dolly!
Hey, has Monmouth ever beaten an FBS upon it before?
I don't know, Ryan, haven't?
The answer is no.
This was the first time they did it.
Shades of Charles Lee.
Hey, can we stay in Florida for a second?
Sure.
I would move to ignore the second half of the Miami USF game
and look at the first half, which was wildly entertaining.
One of the silliest interceptions I think I've ever seen?
Alex Golish and his extremely I'm not touching you offense had those private school kids in hell, in extremely funny hell.
Then some other things happened, and I don't want to talk about that.
That was one of the most, if I had like a desert island half of football to keep just for giggles, I might take the first half of USF Miami tonight.
Yeah, USF has like one skill player.
of any real caliber three linemen who can move
and nothing
and Alex Goalish is just sitting there going
and they'll annoy the shit out of you with all of them
this is said with all affection
BYU is beating the shit out of Kansas State
my goodness
yeah we had a few minutes we had a BYU
returner run so hard with the ball that he threw up
when he finished the run
whoops
intensity
yeah BYU
playoff possibility
I'm not going to go there yet
I mean, somebody's got to win the Big 12.
Somebody's got to win the Big 12.
Oh, God, I keep forgetting that's a thing.
It has to happen.
So we got BYU, Utah, Big 12 title game?
Oh, put it in my veins.
Put it directly into my veins.
These are good and sound ideas.
And they have all the interesting teams on their schedule, too, and Baylor.
Baylor was very interesting today.
It's a compelling Baylor football.
But the rest of the rest of BYU's schedule after that game next week is Arizona, Oklahoma State, at UCF, at Utah, Kansas, at Arizona State, Houston.
Go off.
I just looked up to see when Ole Miss will finally start playing somewhat.
Like we're a month in, and I don't think we've mentioned them at all.
No, because there's nothing to say, yeah.
It's for decent reason.
Kentucky and South Carolina and LSU and Oklahoma and Arkansas.
and saw it, Jesus, like,
I take it back.
This is a playoff team.
Yeah.
Just nothing's happening.
That's a play-in team.
Nothing's happening for the next month and a half either.
I mean, granted, sure, fine.
They might lose one or two of those games.
Oh, you know what else might happen?
Lane might get bored.
Sure.
Yeah, it'll be wacky meme time.
Spencer, the Iowa running back, who you could not recall,
is Caleb Johnson.
Thank you.
That is the most nondescript name in his defense.
You undersold his performance.
You undersold his performance.
as Iowa wins
Floyd of Rosedale
21 carries
206 yards
and three touchdowns
Beast
Cade McNamara
threw for 62 yards in this win
which again far exceeds
what Michigan was doing against
USC
but yeah
Iowa just casually put up 31 points
on Minnesota
like I
I dare say the Iowa offense is
fixed-ish
for their
purposes. Yeah, it is
what Kirk
will allow it to be, maybe.
Okay. I can be fine with that.
I do
really do appreciate, though,
that you can
actually get all of this going
and then we have to say Ann Cade McNamara.
This is the featuring.
This is the album
featuring X.
This is the, this is
this is, this is, this is, this is
band featuring producer. What does that
person do? They're on
the label. They're totally on
the label.
Boston College
Boston College is three and one.
Sure?
Yeah. What a sound.
How many times am I going to have to apologize to Bill
O'Brien this year? Apparently several.
And this was a pretty
good and interesting game.
Michigan State, like,
I was very worried I was going to have to be like,
oh shit, Michigan State's 4-0. We've got to
talk about them now.
But they actually do, I will say, Michigan State in year one under Jonathan Smith, I'm like,
okay, I can kind of see how this might like start to work, like pretty quickly.
Okay, yeah, we can talk about four and oh pit since it's been, I mean, sure.
Great, they beat Youngstown.
They crushed Youngstown State.
They crush them.
That's not, I mean.
73 to 17.
I feel like Pat Narduzzi would have more affection for flightless birds.
They're all ground game.
I think, so I think, I want to say I saw one of, I think Pitt Girl mentioned this,
that Pat Nardousie was wearing a short-sleeve shirt and a tie because I think his dad coached at Youngstown State,
and that's what he wore when he was the coach there.
So he like, did he also work at NASA?
Everybody wore that.
Maybe.
I would love to see Pat Narduzzi explain how we're going to get to the moon with the power run game.
How many planets do you think Pat Narduzzi thinks there are?
Five.
So once there are two moons, could...
Oh, my God, we haven't discussed this yet.
...be theorized that moons might increase at such a rate that we will eventually have just a chain of moons.
So that we can just hop from one to the next?
Sure, yeah.
You said chain of moons are the first thing.
I was like, oh, we could put a caraba.
on them.
Yeah, four yards in a cloud of moon dust.
Chain on moons.
Yeah, exactly.
So a pit so far, they have beaten poor Kent State and Youngstown.
These are not good Division I programs, and otherwise they have had incredibly traumatic squeaker
comebacks.
This is a perfect four-in-o Pittsburgh.
This is exactly what you went out of pit.
Like, as inconclusive as a four-and-o could possibly be.
And look at what they have next.
they have UNC so oh my god and followed by Cal and Syracuse and SMU and Virginia
the pit mystery will continue no matter what their record is it's getting a spa day how how have we
entered a world where like I think I think the ACC has too many memes at this point
every team is funny the ACC is too online the all comedy conference so who's the least
funny team in the ACC. Like, Miami
currently is not funny, but we know
good and well that they have
funny. Like, whenever they
lose in the last second, oh, my
God, the memes are back.
Yeah. Virginia isn't all that funny.
No.
Louisville's not funny. I think Louisville is...
Oh, wait. You know who's not funny? Virginia
Tech's not funny. No.
Because Virginia Tech... Virginia Tech
tried to come back, but Virginia Tech
has now...
NC State also not funny.
Nancy State was kind of funny today.
They did provide some humor.
Is Wake? Is Wake unfun funny?
Not that funny.
I don't think, yeah.
Well, I'll give them this.
They're in 17th place.
That's pretty funny.
Georgia Tech gave us so much comedy in week one that I'm willing to just give them a buy on being funny for the rest of the year.
They're funny.
Yeah.
Because they're just so obnoxiously scrappy.
They deposited their years a lot, man at once.
Nobody did anything, nobody did anything funnier than Virginia Tech today, by the way.
because their quarterback drones
drop back in the end zone
was sacked for a safety
and when he did the safety
by dropping to the ground
he threw the ball in the air
over his head through the goalposts
it could have been a field goal
it was like throwing the flowers
to the bridesmaids
and you saw the cheerleaders heads whip around
like the more you watch it
all of the cheerleaders are like the fuck
just turning their head looking back up
It's great.
Virginia Tech has now lost 12 straight non-conference games to power conference opponents.
That's a neat trick.
Thanks to losing to Rutgers and Vanderbilt this year, which like Vanderbilt has been better
than I think a lot of people thought.
Rutgers is a very annoying team to play and I think is the, yeah.
And well, Rutgers for a long time, everybody just pin this for probably a while,
maybe until we get to the ACC Championship game,
the answer to who's the last team to beat Miami
is going to be Rutgers in last year's pinstriple.
My favorite thing that I heard today
was when Rutgers is taking the field
on whichever channel was on the broadcast,
they were like, Rick Shiana's message for his team today was
violence.
That was the mantra.
Makes him sound like a street fighter losing screen.
get out there and
violence
it sounds like he's
it sounds like he's like
a mistranslated character
in a video gamers
yeah this is this is the
police will not save you
only trust your fists
coach what's the plan
violent
to solve your problems with aggression
love you Don Brown
I believe
I don't have any other games
that I absolutely need to shout out
I do have a score
Northwestern
Northwestern you fucking did it man
5
Cinco
that's right
O and 1 in the Big 10
opening it up by losing to Washington
Washington was really upset
with you over here like
oh you got a nice spot by the water
huh huh
I'll show you a nice spot by the water
that's our thing
what does that mean
because they've got a nice spot by the wall
because Northwestern has the far cooler
waterside stadium
it makes it sound like you're going to drown someone
which is ironic
yeah considering I can't swim
24 to 5
he said it he said it I would frame it
as Washington is jealous because
Northwestern Stadium is prettier
oh interesting
everyone knows it
okay so we talked to somebody else who had been there
and they were less dazzled by the ocean front views
and more terrified at how janky the stands are.
That's part of the beauty.
That they're just scaffolding with like cloth draped over it.
And if you drop your phone, like it goes all the way down to the ground.
I have a question.
Did you, as a child, did your parents ever have like a bachelor friend of theirs who you were like,
wow his house is so cool because like there's this room that just has boxes and speakers in it and stuff like that like do you know what i'm talking about this this it's very uncle behavior but like it's specifically unmarried uncle i'm i'm the person i'm thinking of is like a friend's big brother who like still lived at home yeah
sure sure sure sure like your dad's college buddy whose life just went a different yeah yeah back from the army not explaining why right and as a kid you thought like their house or room you were like
Oh, man. It's so cool because it didn't look like how other people's houses looked and how like you thought, you were like, man, he's awesome. He only has two plates. Like, what a cool. I feel like that. He's got a parrot. He's got a parrot. He's got a waterbed. It doesn't have sheets for some reason. Like. Oh, there's a reason. He's been telling me for four years. He'll teach me how to smoke weed.
Like, I think that's.
He is the guy, however, he is the guy who's going to teach you how to drive stick.
I think this is Northwestern's quote-unquote new stadium where we're like, wow, this is so cool.
And then once we get a little older, you'll be like, wait, it doesn't have a bathroom?
What a weird dude you are?
I think needs to grow up.
When I was away last week at a wedding, I happened to run into some friends who teach at Northwestern.
and they have been to this stadium
and I bounded up to them so enthusiastic
I was like oh my god are you guys loving the lake stadium
and they looked at me like what are you talking about
and I said you said you went to the game right you and they said oh
people are going to die in that thing
hell yeah I was like yeah but it looks great
and I'm like no it's just some scaffolding that they threw a curtain up over
for the TV cameras it's dangerous and like yeah you should keep it
And after like three or four exchanges,
I realized that we were coming at this
with maybe different goals in mind.
It's letting nature be nature, man.
Yeah.
You bought a roller coaster?
That's awesome.
At least two, anyway,
there are at least two Northwestern faculty members
who have serious structural concerns.
Well, they're Northwestern faculty members,
so I don't trust them on what's cool.
Damn.
Very true.
Damn.
Yeah.
Like safety.
this happens though with stadiums though
especially in the light of nostalgia
like Miami used to play at the Orange Bowl
and you talk to people they're like yo man
OB was so cool
you talk to other people to go to the Orange Bowl
and they're like there were holes in the concrete
and I had to fight a rat
from my seat
dude in the old Orange Bowl
they were like the bathroom stalls
were rusted through in places
yeah like people would
watch a deep business yeah
it did feel like a place God was getting ready
to destroy for sure
is that a pattern in Miami
we could say
anyway I'm sure Northwesterns will be fine
yeah
no big deal
thank you Arthur who says
I love that Wrigley Field
is the more normal
Northwestern home field this year
yeah when people are like
oh yeah Wrigley used to be really cool man
used to have to pee in these huge troughs
and sometimes people would like you know
do headers into them
and you go that's fucked up
do headers into the pee troughs
yeah they like slide through the petroffs
sure yeah okay
again this is a Chicago thing where they're like
yeah it's real funny a guy got shot there once
you're like what
in the petroff
yeah yeah to be there
yeah had to be there
and that'll
that'll do it folks I think
Kansas continues to lose in just
miserable and unpleasant ways
it's still
still new the experience of being
disappointed by Kansas.
It's, it's approaching...
West Virginia tried, okay?
West Virginia tried their level fucking best
to give this game back.
It is approaching alarming
at this point because, like,
they're just collapsing so hard.
Isn't it kind of funny in itself that we're worried about
Kansas? A little bit.
Like, that in itself is strange
and new.
Well, yeah. And tender.
Just a little. You're right.
We haven't even mentioned that
several of the, who even knows who's going to be in the Pact 12 by the time this comes out tomorrow.
Could be you.
Oh, right, that whole thing.
It could be you.
Nobody knows.
Hopefully, USF.
Shout out to our friend Natalie, a longtime friend of the program, who was at the Tennessee
Oklahoma game, who just messaged to say she is still in traffic trying to get away from
that goddamn stadium.
She did send me a picture, by the way, and I can't drop it in the chat of a friend
she made at the stadium.
I just assume this is a listener of ours, because I,
I don't know anybody else who would go, who would pay what had to be a substantial amount of money,
given the two teams involved, to go to the Tennessee, Oklahoma game in full Ole Miss regalia.
Huh.
And just cheer for Ole Miss All Might.
That's interesting.
I love it.
Huh.
Okay.
I get, like Jason said, we haven't had a lot of cause to talk about Ole Miss.
Ole Miss fans are probably just bored.
Just show up to it.
Yeah.
I mean, what was he going to do, watch their game?
That's the move.
I know what Old Miss Mans are waiting for.
They're waiting for the punishment of God.
They're like, yeah, it's on the way.
We don't know when.
The hammer's going to fall.
Where?
Go find it.
No, that's the thing.
They don't play Illinois.
You'll never know.
They're not brave enough to play Brett.
They don't play Pitt.
Yeah.
They don't play Cal.
They don't play BYU.
Now there's a whiteout.
God, do you know how quickly you'd have to cut Brett off if you asked him about
Old Miss?
you'd have to just be like hey brett what about old miss
well you ever been to the grove no yep nope nope
hey if you're an old miss fan can you think of a time
that brett the illima has harmed you probably not
love that guy
just a just a super fun guy
who never has ruined any old miss season
never not once
all right where is the funniest before we go where is the funniest like
before they play georgia on november 9th
Kentucky, South Carolina, LSU, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
which is the funniest place for Old Mist
to just completely trip on their...
Arkansas.
Arkansas.
I think because of timing, Arkansas, and also Arkansas,
you know, like, I mean, the record probably won't be all that great at that point.
Also, if I get, like, any of those other teams to shamble up with,
hey, got a wild random event.
Yeah.
It's not that funny.
It's just a wild random event.
but if Arkansas
stumbles in the door with their pants
around their ankles and
an axe in their back
stinking of gin and they're like
I got some crazy shit for you
I think if that happens then it goes
from Ole Miss is 8 and 0 to Ole Miss
lose is 8 and 1
and then has to play Georgia
so then it's oh God everything's
falling apart
and Eggball soon after
you're right though i could see ryan i could see a case for kentucky or south carolina or ls u yeah like
there's a few there's a few opportunities here yeah because that's the thing is that the inherent
absurdity of old miss football is always compounded by that final game if old miss has a normal season
they still have to play the most fucked up game in college football which is the egg bowl right
is the is the normality of the season before the egg bowl reflected in how weird the egg bowl
gets like if the first 11 games are normal does that only ramp up i do not think you will ever
know i yeah have we ever have we we don't have that data set do we there is no normal old miss
season have we ever yeah we've never seen a 11 game normal old miss season it's unthinkable
it can't happen i mean this is a rivalry where once like the god of wind struck down a
successful field goal attempt like it was going in and then the wind just pushed
back and was like, nope.
Like, it's the one game where I go,
maybe there's a God. Maybe he hates both
of these teams. Not old Miss LSU.
Interesting. Okay.
Yeah, I know. No, there is no God associated with that game.
Right. Right. God has abandoned these
teams. Yeah, God has abandoned this earth,
specifically this stadium
on this day. And whatever
happens between these two teams.
This is reminding me there's no LSU-Obburn this year.
So,
an act of mercy.
It is a blessing how many teams Auburn doesn't have to play
it really is the best thing Auburn has going yes the number of teams it doesn't have to play
god I mean I don't want to play Auburn Oklahoma's got to turn around to play Auburn after this
weird fucking lost Tennessee they're going to hate that they're going to hate it so much or or
they're going to take it out or they're going to trot that freshman quarterback out maybe so maybe
so maybe so the rest of Auburn's schedule is fucking miserable you idiots it's bad it's
really bad.
I will say this, the team doesn't deserve it.
The coaching staff, though.
I don't think anybody, I don't think anybody was questioning that.
Yeah.
You know what does work with Auburn, Oklahoma?
You just grab them by the lapels, and you're like, quit that shit.
How far?
I thought you were going to say Clonopin.
How far away are we from Hugh Freeze talks openly at a press availability
about how this university doesn't take football as seriously as Liberty does?
not that close to that one i don't think but is he going to talk to bruce pearl any time
or the next week or so this is where he and pearl turn on each other for pieces of the funding
pie or is this where he and pearl turn on each other oh god is it yep i just checked it is
one a m yep that's how i knew you know you knew i look at the clock before i said that
good good i hate that i already used the garnet hill joke it's okay
It wasn't a joke.
All right, Spencer, before we let the people go, who brought them this show?
The Fulcast After Dark was brought to you by Prize Picks.
Run your game.
Prize picks.
Eggs.
Eggs.
Thanks, y'all.
So fun.
Bye.
