Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:01:21 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
Starting point is 00:02:23 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
Starting point is 00:02:55 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
Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:53 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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?
Starting point is 00:04:24 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...
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:10 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
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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
Starting point is 00:07:08 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
Starting point is 00:07:45 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...
Starting point is 00:08:06 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.
Starting point is 00:08:24 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?
Starting point is 00:08:40 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
Starting point is 00:08:55 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
Starting point is 00:09:11 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.
Starting point is 00:09:30 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?
Starting point is 00:09:52 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
Starting point is 00:10:13 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
Starting point is 00:10:25 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
Starting point is 00:11:01 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.
Starting point is 00:11:53 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.
Starting point is 00:12:15 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:30 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
Starting point is 00:13:45 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
Starting point is 00:14:01 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?
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:37 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.
Starting point is 00:15:04 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.
Starting point is 00:15:43 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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
Starting point is 00:16:41 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
Starting point is 00:17:36 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
Starting point is 00:18:23 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,
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:40 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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
Starting point is 00:21:01 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
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:58 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.
Starting point is 00:22:28 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
Starting point is 00:22:59 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
Starting point is 00:23:14 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
Starting point is 00:23:37 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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
Starting point is 00:24:34 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
Starting point is 00:25:09 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?
Starting point is 00:25:24 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
Starting point is 00:25:40 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.
Starting point is 00:25:56 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.
Starting point is 00:26:30 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.
Starting point is 00:27:14 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.
Starting point is 00:27:56 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.
Starting point is 00:28:27 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
Starting point is 00:28:52 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
Starting point is 00:29:03 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
Starting point is 00:29:17 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.
Starting point is 00:29:37 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.
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:15 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?
Starting point is 00:30:35 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
Starting point is 00:30:52 Crate Well the Ed said Since they became UC Auburn I believe they are Peace Eagle Thank you Um Cal fucking lost
Starting point is 00:31:02 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
Starting point is 00:31:13 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
Starting point is 00:31:26 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
Starting point is 00:31:41 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?
Starting point is 00:32:02 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,
Starting point is 00:32:31 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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.
Starting point is 00:33:19 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.
Starting point is 00:33:37 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.
Starting point is 00:33:54 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
Starting point is 00:34:36 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.
Starting point is 00:35:11 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.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Like, buy games, sure, I get why they exist, spread the wealth, et cetera, et cetera. This is something darker.
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:36 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...
Starting point is 00:35:55 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
Starting point is 00:36:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:00 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.
Starting point is 00:37:19 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
Starting point is 00:37:51 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!
Starting point is 00:38:32 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
Starting point is 00:38:50 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,
Starting point is 00:39:07 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
Starting point is 00:39:43 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,
Starting point is 00:40:11 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,
Starting point is 00:40:30 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.
Starting point is 00:40:40 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?
Starting point is 00:41:10 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
Starting point is 00:41:53 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.
Starting point is 00:42:38 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.
Starting point is 00:42:51 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
Starting point is 00:43:38 which I think is weirdly in and sometimes flagrantly in short supply among his peers yeah Lincoln talking to you yeah
Starting point is 00:43:50 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:45:11 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.
Starting point is 00:45:29 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.

Starting point is 00:46:17 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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.
Starting point is 00:47:20 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
Starting point is 00:47:34 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?
Starting point is 00:47:58 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.
Starting point is 00:48:15 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.
Starting point is 00:48:37 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
Starting point is 00:49:04 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
Starting point is 00:49:14 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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.
Starting point is 00:49:40 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.
Starting point is 00:49:53 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.
Starting point is 00:50:18 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
Starting point is 00:50:48 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.
Starting point is 00:51:09 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.
Starting point is 00:51:32 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.
Starting point is 00:51:54 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.
Starting point is 00:52:21 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
Starting point is 00:52:53 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
Starting point is 00:53:08 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.
Starting point is 00:53:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:59 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,
Starting point is 00:54:16 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
Starting point is 00:54:48 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?
Starting point is 00:55:32 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?
Starting point is 00:55:54 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.
Starting point is 00:56:09 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
Starting point is 00:56:28 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.
Starting point is 00:57:06 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.
Starting point is 00:57:29 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.
Starting point is 00:58:16 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
Starting point is 00:58:33 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
Starting point is 00:58:48 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.
Starting point is 00:59:07 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.
Starting point is 00:59:41 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.
Starting point is 00:59:53 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,
Starting point is 01:00:08 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
Starting point is 01:00:21 206 yards and three touchdowns Beast Cade McNamara threw for 62 yards in this win which again far exceeds what Michigan was doing against USC
Starting point is 01:00:34 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
Starting point is 01:00:51 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.
Starting point is 01:01:08 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
Starting point is 01:01:21 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
Starting point is 01:01:34 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.
Starting point is 01:02:03 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,
Starting point is 01:02:28 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.
Starting point is 01:02:54 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.
Starting point is 01:03:14 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.
Starting point is 01:03:38 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
Starting point is 01:04:15 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
Starting point is 01:04:30 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?
Starting point is 01:04:48 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.
Starting point is 01:05:03 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
Starting point is 01:05:21 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
Starting point is 01:05:38 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,
Starting point is 01:06:08 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.
Starting point is 01:06:32 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
Starting point is 01:06:49 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
Starting point is 01:07:07 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
Starting point is 01:07:20 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
Starting point is 01:07:34 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
Starting point is 01:07:52 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.
Starting point is 01:08:15 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.
Starting point is 01:09:31 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
Starting point is 01:10:04 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
Starting point is 01:10:29 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,
Starting point is 01:10:46 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.
Starting point is 01:10:58 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
Starting point is 01:11:11 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
Starting point is 01:11:26 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
Starting point is 01:11:40 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
Starting point is 01:11:54 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
Starting point is 01:12:11 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.
Starting point is 01:12:27 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
Starting point is 01:12:44 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.
Starting point is 01:13:02 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
Starting point is 01:13:22 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.
Starting point is 01:13:44 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.
Starting point is 01:13:57 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.
Starting point is 01:14:07 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.
Starting point is 01:14:21 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
Starting point is 01:14:43 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.
Starting point is 01:15:03 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.
Starting point is 01:15:23 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
Starting point is 01:15:43 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
Starting point is 01:16:11 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.
Starting point is 01:16:55 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
Starting point is 01:17:10 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
Starting point is 01:17:36 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.
Starting point is 01:18:03 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
Starting point is 01:18:34 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.
Starting point is 01:19:05 Eggs. Eggs. Thanks, y'all. So fun. Bye.
