Previously, on full cast after dark. Vanderbilt had to put up a notification on the scoreboard at one point. They beat Alcorn State 55-0. They had to say, sorry, we ran out of fireworks because they were scoring too many points. Then they had to follow. And then they followed it up at the end of the game with the scoreboard graphic that said, we'll buy more fireworks next week. We promise.

Who do they play next week? Because I think that counts is talking shit about that team. I believe, I think they're on the road next week. Oh, that's how they did. Tricky, tricky. They're going to Georgia State.

So they don't have a home game until October 5th against Alabama. So they just called their shot against Alabama. They said, we're going to need a lot of fireworks when those jerkoffs come to town. Vandy going to lay the anchor

down on the Alabama. Mani's going to drop 55 on Bama and have fireworks for every bit of it. Ahoy! Hi, things have happened. I would like to... What do you guys want to talk about? Start us, hey, start us with a Blood Week worthy welcome, please. Blood Week, okay, here we go.

Full cast after dark, poor men. Welcome To the full past After dark Presented by Prize Piz There you go Did that hurt?

No, no, I don't know why. You know why it didn't hurt? Because it's fucking blood week One of these days Spencer's going to learn About blowing out his mic Today is not that day Tomorrow's not looking good either

You know I think there are Some people on the internet Who love Blood Week And as a result They really want Yeah they're all in our fucking mentions They want lots of weeks

To be Blood Week I get it It's like your birthday What if every day was your birthday You know what? Wouldn't be very special They want participation trophy blood weeks, and they need to stop it.

Well, guess what? But guess what? It's not up to Ryan, and it's not up to me either. We consulted the blood priest himself, who can't be here tonight because he's at a Coheed and Cambria show. Holly, would you like to read the canon as dictated to us from Mr. Jason Girk? The declaration, which for the record came down at 11.07 p.m., we were, for the record, already over the line before Tennessee helpfully piled on.

I'm typing this while in the Coheeded Cambria crowd in Birmingham, Alabama, says Blood Priest, Jason. As far back as anyone can remember, there has never been a mighty figure who avoided being brought low. There has never been a first who avoided becoming last. And of all the immortal gods we've ever enthroned, every single one has bled. I think he's saying they all have periods, but I'm not going to... The second moon. Second mood did it. I said we were all going to get periods.

How are y'all feeling? Everybody cramping? What's good? Back to Jason. In this Birmingham concert crowd, thousands of people around me are repeating a lyric over and over. Number 25, UNLV, a god for only a week, but a god all the same. Number 22, Louisville. Number 11, USC, number 10, Michigan, number 9, Missouri, number four, Tennessee, and below all else, fallen is Babylon the Great, the son of the morning, the prince of this world, number one, Alabama.

Here in Birmingham, 60 miles from the throne of the ever-rotting emperor, the lyric a thousand people are repeating around me tonight includes the couplet, God's blood. Tonight, the gods are bleeding. Tonight, no one is first, which means tonight, no one is last. Every one of you bathed together in the Crimson Tide. It's Blood Week. That does not even account for. Hi, by the way, I'm Ryan Nanny, your special Miami Cal correspondent for the evening.

I guess our sideline analyst Ryan Nanny joins us current update we just hit five minutes left in the first half Cal is leading 21 to 10 as Miami faces a key third and nine around midfield will uh we'll keep you updated on the action that would be three and one cow against number eight five and oh Miami yeah this could get worse yeah it doesn't it doesn't bode well um can I just say can I say an appreciation that it has been since I we understand your impatience even though it is annoying to all of us personally we understand your impatience and it has been since 2022 since we had one of these but yeah brothers and sisters we don't want we don't want participation trophy we don't want to diminish what's special about blood week and even if we could we couldn't because this is jason's church no we don't

want to give you ketchup on bread with a slice of string cheese and say it's pizza night kids we want to give you pizza and by pizza i mean blood and by blood i mean vanderbilt 40 Alabama 35 so much blood so especially and one last thing before we move on from yes it is blood week to the actual games that made it blood week uh to the guy in the chat who said jason doesn't get a say anymore. You are in the wrong church. Goodbye. Um, hey, Alex, happy birthday and happy blood week. I'm excited that you get to say this happened on. I hope you're not. Well, no, I, you know, whether you're a Bama or a Vanderbilt fan or neither, who's to say? Uh, big stop by Cal there on that third and nine. Looks like Miami's going to punt. I would like to share with y'all what I think

is the most haunting statistic. If you are an Alabama fan going, what happened? What's wrong? Where is my beautiful house? Where is my beautiful wife? Do either of you know how many times Vanderbilt punted in this game?

I'm going to guess that they punted zero times. They punted twice. Do you know where those punts came from? I do not. One of them came near the, end of the first half, and it was from the Alabama 42, in a situation where frankly, I think they should have let their kicker.

Who has that distance? The accuracy, maybe not. Just try to blast one and get three points on the board, maybe. And the other one came on fourth and nine from the 50-yard line. Every other drive, because they didn't turn the ball over,

every other drive was a score of some sort, which meant that the, best Alabama's defense could do was to stop Vandy at the 50. That's it. They never held Vanderbilt's offense on a drive on their side of the field. That's nuts. That's absolutely fucking bonkers. There are a lot of things to say about this game, but I would like to start with this. Vandy kicked Bama's ass. Do not, do not think. Bama did not, we were talking about this before you hopped on. Bama did not give this game this game away. This was not a dick tripping. Sometimes you just get beat. You got beat. You got thumped. It seems weird to us because we're not

used to seeing just get beat happened to Bama, but I can't find any evidence to argue against it. Yeah, at the line of scrimmage across the board, they got beat. They were the better team at the point of attack. It was not, which team had 166 rushing yards? It was not Alabama. all right like Alabama ran for 84 yards that's a public's parking lot

and change the third down stats Vanderbilt went 12 of 18 on third down that's shit fuck no way they held the ball

for 42 minutes and eight seconds yeah can I give a compliment to an important part of the Bama program, which is the Bama fan base. Sure. I was looking for this all night. I have not yet seen

on a public facing social network a single person complaining that Kailin DeBore is coaching in a T-shirt. I really thought tonight is the night they were going to crack. And no. No, they had

other concerns, but I was waiting for it to turn to that level of, and I actually think that backs up, I actually think that backs us up, that they just got beat. Because if this was a, if this was a stupid loss, it's a hilarious loss. But if this was a stupid loss, I think you would see Kalin getting run out of town for not wearing a collared shirt on the sidelines. 42 minutes of possession, that's basically a HBO prestige drama that Vanderbilt held the, it's an episode of, of, uh, girls. with Lena Dunham.

That's not the one I would have gone with, but that's fine. I don't know if that was an hour-long show, didn't watch it. I couldn't think of what I was going for anyway. No, I mean, it's, but it is, yeah, it's a streaming show. Yeah. It's 42, solid minutes. 42 minutes is network, but go off. Sure.

That's what you got out of Diego Pavia. And I, like, okay, several different layered perspectives. Thank you. Bamma possess the ball for roughly two blueies. Thank you, chat. that is an excellent wait wait that's listen it's like five blueies okay i've never seen blueie either god an episode of blueie is eight minutes long and i know this because i have to use this as a measurement of time in my house a lot they said bama possessed the ball for two bluys oh bama okay there we go i'm sorry

yeah yeah and much and much like after an episode of bluey tears ensued yeah here we're got actually lots of good examples in the chat here's dennis bandy had the ball for a full college basketball game. Yeah. They did. There are several classic albums that Vanderville had the ball longer than. Thank you, Jay McQuinn 23.

Bluey demands blood. Oh. Hey, you know how I know Diego has arrived? You know the moment when I knew that win or lose, Diego has been cemented into SEC lore? How? I know which player on the team is his

roommate now because they talked about it on the broadcast. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. We've hit roommate status, folks. That's pretty good. Do you think him saying dropping an F bomb on live television will affect his how much dared? Dropping a live F bomb on television five seconds after saying God put him on this earth to play this exact football game. No, no, I don't think this will diminish his last year. Listen, glory to God, this is God's plan. burns 90 degrees to his right and goes, Faiton fucking turn!

And Alyssa Lang did not blink. No. God bless her. Did not blink. I want to know who ran further. Alyssa Lang to make that interview because she was hauling ass or Alabama. I bet she ran further than 84 yards total to track down Tiago Pock. The answer is actually option C.

It's whoever dragged the goalpost to the river. That is a long way. Somebody in the comments is, saying that that's three miles. I don't know if that's exactly right, but it is important to note if you have not been to Nashville, this is not the same thing. And this was awesome, to be clear, as when Tennessee fans dumped their goalposts. No, that's right outside the stadium. Right. Vandy had to go, there was a commute. I bet they had drinks. I bet they stopped for drinks and snacks. They went down Broadway. I hope they poked one end of the goalposts through Jason

Aldean's bar window. They went past all the places, right? They went past Jason Aldean's diarrhea hut. They went past Kid Rocks, syphilis, shack. They went past all of the spots. They had to go so far.

Like, that's a workout. That's a go rock event. You just basically were like, hey, let's pretend we're Navy SEALs. They carried the boats. Yeah. They totally got their steps in, unlike the Alabama rushing offense. It's pretty good.

It's pretty good. Somebody in the comment is marveling that they had a police escort. This is a normal practice when the goalposts come down and are going overland because at that point, the cops are like, we are not going to break this up and we just don't want people to get run down. I assure you, the nicest, most cooperative drunk people on Nashville on a Saturday night were those Vanderbilt students with the goalposts. Oh, absolutely.

Those are the only people you want to drink with. Even the mayor of Nashville, who is a very nice but very dorky. man. Like the kind of person who you want to yell nerd at when you drive by him, even he got a dunk in on Alabama. Wow. He tweeted hearing reports of low tide in the Cumberland River. Accusations of Godfrey sighing because he is stuck in Broadway traffic. Brothers, Godfrey was on the field for the field storming. He was there. You can take the man out of journalism but you can't take the journalism out of the man yeah thank you by the way for that thank you mayor all birds mayor all birds i have one i have one criticism of this very very good

vanderbilt wound okay this is going to sound like a joke but it's not are we concerned at all that this is going to diminish the luster when Diego beats Hugh Fries for the third time in a row. I mean, honestly, there's, there's, I think that will be a reflection more of what's going on with Auburn than anything else.

And we'll get the angle of like Auburn and Alabama are the same program just like every year. Well, like, the problem is, what are we going to do if we get to that game and it's like, oh, Vandy is favored by three. that's what will kill the luster of it it will not kill the luster

because it would be another Hugh Freeze loss and that's fine and at this point he can't do anything right because he yelled at Peyton Thorne for calling the wrong play which he straight up did like you saw it happen and you were like yeah no that's he was

that man was freestiling on that play and he yells at him and the reaction is not proper correction to a quarterback it's like Hugh Freeze is such a dick even though he's doing the thing he's supposed to do. All right, look.

Oh, that poor guy can't win. To be clear, the Georgia Auburn game had nothing to do with Blood Week. So I don't want us to linger on it too much. But courtesy of our friend, Justin Ferguson, I think we should note that history was made today by the Auburn Tigers, who for the first time since 2009 scored more than 10. points in Athens, Georgia. Let's give it up. Let's give it up. Oh my God.

Georgia's going to litter on North Campus so hard. Like, Hugh's got this program going in the right direction. You can tell. You can just tell. 13 points? Oh, my God. Our cup runneth over. It's going to be 16 points next year.

If we keep this going, it's like compound interest, buddy. And then 16.6 points. Yeah. It's going to be pretty sweet. Yeah. The Fed reduces rates. Hell. Oh, my God. We're up to 18 points in 30 years. What I will say about this, Auburn is at a point where they can be, as they were, I think, in this game,

like within 10 points in the second half. And at no point are you like, oh yeah, I think they're going to, I think they could do it. They're just, they're so juiceless that at no point, and it's so weird. Like, Auburn is the team that you're supposed to be afraid if you have kept them within even kind of striking distance, and they don't inspire any fear at all. Ooh, ooh, ooh, we have a joke. We have a joke. Mark at the Auburner on Twitter presents a joke that we have been sent by several people to share. You guys ready? You ready? You ready? Hit us. What do you call a coach in Alabama who takes his ranked team into Vanderbilt Stadium and comes away with a loss? What do you call him? Senator.

that is good because fuck Tommy Tuberville Oh forever in a day So this is why by the way This is like I want to go back Can we kind of close a loop here That Jerry kills the most important person Yeah first time for everything, let's go Oh we can

You can talk about this Vanderbilt Like we have not given it enough time You can talk about it as much as you like Oh yeah Yeah that none of this happens Like there are so many things that don't happen tonight without Jerry Kill existing and playing

his part in history. Jerry Kill will leave Minnesota in 2015. All right. I'm confused by using future tense, but I can get it. I'm just tired. It's not on you.

Play along science fiction man. Oh, God. Yes, your voices. That's what the steps is missing. So in 2015 he leaves Minnesota due to health problems. And he succeeded by Tracy Clay's. Tracy Clay's will eventually be fired. And then he will be replaced by whom? PJ Fleck. P.J. Fleck. And the Fleck tones. Uh-huh. Yes. PJ Fleck. Jerry Kill will, um, not going to take a couple of temporary positions,

like he's athletic director at Southern Illinois. And then he does some work in Virginia Tech and TCU. And then he takes the New Mexico state job where, uh, he spies in recruiting and enterprising, aggressive, and extremely fucking terned quarterback at New Mexico Military Institute who won a championship there. That quarterback is Diego Pavia. Diego Pavia wins a bunch of games at New Mexico State, peas on the field at New Mexico, and follows kill to his next job at Vanderbilt. Meanwhile, the guy who's further down the Minnesota chain in this series of events, PJ Fleck, Tonight, tonight, beat USC in a classic Big Ten matchup where rather than rely on his pretty, his kicker had a pretty shit night. He decided to go for like fourth and inches and sneak and made it.

And the officials were like, eh, I don't know about that. On the goal line, too. So not even a like, oh, did he, did he fumble before? It's just like, did he cross the plane? No. And everyone saw the quarterback get thrown. bodily on a tush push into the end zone

and the officials just to welcome USC to the Big Ten proper were like let's make this super fucked up and sit there and look at it for five minutes just you know to worsen your emotional state of being did you do what PJ Fleck was doing while this was happening jumping up and down he was

he was just like marching around the field signaling touchdown as if as if he could like bully the replay into accepting his interpretation of events. Hey, listen, man, once a wide receiver, always a wide receiver. Yes, yes, it was very much like, I'm going to, you're going to throw this flag because I'm going to make big faces and arms at you.

I want to be clear, this was a touchdown. Everyone in the stadium knew it was a touchdown. Anyone watching was a touchdown. However, I understand that if you are cocooned within your love of USC football and you just got out of the Pac-12, a conference known for, officiating that was at times deranged random random might be the kindest words you could apply to pack 12 officiating and you get into this not appear to have a clear goal in mind no except to turn the focus on itself right um like you were having a football game and they were like hey we did

this little community theater called pack 12 officiating now welcome to the big 10 welcome to the big I mean, Washington, Michigan had some moments like that, too. Yeah. By far. I think it's a virus that the Big Ten just contracted by absorbing large chunks of the Pac-12, right? Like, it's cordyceps, but for officiating. Oh, fun.

That's good. Yeah. There's, let's, can I jump to that now, by the way? Like, why is it? Can I do one more thing? Can we elevate Vanderbilt one more time? I would love to. We got a comment here from Lazy Goat Bear who says,

so glad my door is a part of blood. week. Babe, your doors are blood weak. Like, we, we had a serious, we had a, I will pull back the curtain for one moment and then whisk it shut again forever, but we had a serious discussion amongst ourselves over whether the Bama Vandy Gap was enough by itself, uh, to, to make the call. And ultimately, as you can say, when it came down to it, there was, there was no longer any question after a few more games but this is your night man basking it this is the entire it's like nothing nothing quite unites the nation like nights like this or like twitter threads asking what's your favorite notre dame loss basking is because one of the hardest things when you watch a bunch

of games is to say this is important i will fucking tell you this is important this is as good as it gets for you this is the pinnacle like like this is as consequential a win as vanderbilt has had ever ever that's not hyperbole that's an accurate description of shit right now this is as good as you have ever been as good as it gets and all of this by the way is happening because of the transfer portal the next time i hear some motherfucker complain about the transfer portal And about, I'm tired my players aren't chained to like my former truck stop of a university. Yeah, it's great. Because you know what Diego Pavia did?

He transferred from New Mexico State and he ended up at Vandy and he beat fucking Alabama. And then he cussed on TV like an American hero. Yeah. Like, if you haven't already, you will see a lot of stats thrown around. This is the first time Vandy's ever beat the number one team in the nation. And this is the first time Vandy's ever beat an AP top five team. The last time Vandy beat Bama, Bama's coach was named Ears. J.B. Ears. I'm not making that up.

Okay. Okay. Those of you who there may be some of you in the chat who were at our Bama show before last in 2019 at Stars Karaoke in Birmingham, Alabama, in which Spencer invoked the name of Ears, who had not coached in Alabama in 80 years but is regarded as the worst coach in Alabama history and one dude at the very back goes Boo! Yeah, man has been dead for decades. Probably drives by his grave and it's like,

boo! It's, look, look it up. Go look on Windsapedia and go look at the, I'm lying, I'm dying. Go look at who was the coach at Bama, last time Vandy beat them. I've never told a joke in my life. Kentucky beating Old Miss, big win. Kentucky is the kind of team that will snipe a ranked team here and there, South Carolina. Well, like, the last time Vanderbilt beat a ranked opponent before this season

of any sort was 2019 when they beat number 22 Missouri. They play because they've been in the SEC East before this. And by the way, that was a Missouri team that finished their six and six. Not like, wow, amazing. They play lots of ranked teams. They have played highly ranked Georgia and Florida and Tennessee teams. They have been

not that recently, you can find Vanderbilt teams that have suffered just galling losses. Like, where you're like, I didn't know you could play this badly and be in the same league.

So I don't say that to pile on Vandy, more to just emphasize, like, what they have done this year. And it's not just the Bama game, because as I think we've talked about on previous episodes, this is a team that is distressingly close to being undefeated. Both Georgia State and Mizzou were games that came down to the wire and could have gone the other way. And frankly, maybe Bama would feel better if they had lost to undefeated Vanderbilt. and not too lost Vanderbilt that has a loss to Georgia State but man Hey did Georgia State have anything to say tonight?

Yeah, they hit everyone with the Drusky meme because Georgia State beat Vandy and then Vandy beat Alabama so just Drusky with his hands up and the three teams all in a line with the arrow going between the three of them. Georgia State, thank you for hopping in the chat. That is exactly how you do it.

We love math. Love it. but man yeah go doors show your cold do all that shit it's great um hey how is your brother-in-law um i was informed that he was having a heart attack uh sometime in the fourth quarter i'm sorry i don't know why my first reaction to that is laughter my loyal as shit brother-in-law who has not missed a vandy game like ever and who prior to this season was like i'm i'm actually miss a game i don't know if i can watch this shit is just bad for me vanderbilt football holder we know one yeah yeah that's we know one and tonight you do too yeah tonight i texted my sister because i didn't

want to text him directly because i wanted i didn't want to distract him right he might have just thrown his phone over the lip of the stadium to avoid the distraction uh i texted uh my sister his wife and was like hey uh how's he doing and i was informed he might have a heart attack and then it was like okay he's having a heart attack and then it was like okay he's fine so uh the journey was real for someone tonight that's someone tonight that's someone one being my brother-in-law. Congratulations, Chris. Your half-time update, Cal leads Miami 21-10 at the end of the 7th quarter.

Cal's quarterback 8 of 12 for 204 yards and two touchdowns. That is not the part of the offense that's supposed to do that for you know? Do you guys remember like 14 hours ago when we were talking about trying to figure out when to start the show tonight? We didn't think this game was going to be a problem. Yep, yep. Jade and Ott does have one of those receiving touchdowns for one. what it's worth. Before we get into the rest of Blood Week, I would like to acknowledge a handful of

schools who contributed, who did not contribute to Blood Week. And Blood Week's dangerous. Like, it feels contagious. And I think that's part of why Tennessee lost is I think like just the bad vibes sort of work their way into them. But we'll get to that. Ohio State just crushed Iowa 35 to 7. Didn't even make it look close. The first half was Georgian. Okay, that's fine. Look, Penn State did a similar thing. Like, they only led 14-3 at the break.

Ooh, I have a fact. I have a fact. Penn State is, per broadcast, the only FBS team to start five and out each of the last four seasons, which just makes what happens next even funnier. Oh, no. That's not how I expected that to go. No. Anyway.

I wanted to go ahead, and you talk about other. teams that took care of business today and avoided being part of blood week. Indiana. I would like to say congratulations to the first bowl eligible team. That's right. That's right. No God I forgot. NFPS.

Technically this is true. The undefeated 6-0 Indiana Hoosiers, who much like the Vanderbilt Commoders, beating ass up and down the sketch. not just winning, but beating the shit out of people. Congratulations. It is still technically October 5th in most of Indiana right now. Yeah. And they are two-thirds of the way to nine-windiana.

Are they by denying like daylight savings time getting extra hours in the day that the rest of us don't have in order to work harder on football? Who can say? Iowa State is five and no. And I feel like we have barely talked about that. Dude, they also kind of, they also dicked around for a minute today. Yes, they played with their food a little bit with Baylor. But they ended up beating them by 20. They ended up doubling them up, 43, 21.

So I can't be that mad at them ultimately. No. I think maybe they had some, they might have had some blood malaise. Sure, sure. And Clemson, this score you might think, like, I don't know, maybe it was close there. They beat Florida State 29-13. Oh, no, not that one. I don't think we've even mentioned.

We got a switcheroo going, which maybe is how we should have known. Something would be off. Michael Serber's producing Fullcasts After Dark this week. Serbs, any thoughts on your Clemson Tigers just going in and absolutely taking care of business against Florida State? Yeah. I mean, it was awesome. I heard people here were talking shit, so I decided to come defend myself. no like it was fine they had little trouble in the red zone which is something that's kind of been a trend over the last couple years but like two field goals blocked right yeah like i think and like the announcers even mentioned something that like the coaches during the week said that they saw something on film that they could exploit so uh hopefully they get that fixed because that was really dumb because they have a freshman gicker who's like i think got the record for like most field goals ever made in high school or something stupid like that uh but

Like, I'm a little worried about, like, having kicking problems again because he was been perfect until now. But, uh, Florida State really sucks and like, that quarterback just got that shit kicked out of him tonight. It was just so hard to watch him get the shit beat out of him. Is Florida State like the nexus of all of our, like, can, is this where we can all cross the streams and be happy about this? Yeah.

Not necessarily at the Clemson victory, but the continued downfall of the Knowles. I think so. It is a little, I mean, yeah, it's not great. Film off is great. I'll tell you that. Film off is a lot of fun.

Dude, he's so fucking awesome on the video game. I just run it 38 times. I don't do anything else. Yeah. It's so fun. Um, I will say shout out. I will,

I will say this begrudgingly. Shout out to the glitter guy idiots who keep showing up to Florida State games even though this team sucks them. And like it's not, it doesn't, I cannot imagine it is an easy task to say like, all right, time for time for, time for my whole. Because man, those dudes do their armpits, they do their eyelids.

Let's be honest. That shit itches. They're doing it. They're doing inside their ass crack. All right. Yeah, they are. Every, every external inch, and I'm hoping it's just external. Does FSU play

Does FSU and SMU play? They already played SMU won Shit, I can't believe I missed this opportunity I can't believe I missed this opportunity To see if SMU put An identical pair of kids in the stands But they're just half naked and covered in cocaine

Oh man Hey Spencer, was that a conference game? That was a conference game. Okay, just a time. just uh just just just join me and praying for them every morning when they wake up to do all the glitter and they're just like dear lord jesus give me the strength to watch the world state football and also give me the strength to put this glitter on my balls imagine you know that engagement threat of what is your most strongly held conspiracy theory that can't be placed on a political

timeline and mine is that it's just been the same glitter guys that it's just been these two the entire time they're like they're in their mid 40s yeah yeah i i I can't if I were a landlord in Tallahassee an amazing way to start a sentence I think I would have a you have to tell me if you're the glitter guy's clause in my rental agreement and there would be a like five thousand dollar glitter deposit if that were the case because this never you know just from like a birthday party or something how how how how one day of a little glitter is removing from your house imagine living with the glitter guy and being like there's a glitter in all of our food. The bath, like, the shower is... There's glitter in the coffee grinder. The shower is backed up because the pipes are full of garnet and gold glitter.

I can't take, I can't clean myself. On the other hand, if you have enemies, and sure, we all do, did you know that you can buy glitter just in, yeah, just in bulk bags online and just mail it to people? Pretty good. Yeah.

Yeah, you know who's welcome to rent from me anytime? the professor he showed up again at Doe Campbell he did the professor the dude the guy with the book the guy with the book showed up again he was shirtless I think he was wearing the same pants yeah I don't know what the book is I hope it's some I hope it's Phil somebody drop a link in the chat if you know who we're talking about yeah this is the guy who whenever Florida State sucks he shows up to read book shirtless in the stands at Doe Campbell hey Spencer can you read allowed this reader question from Josh Belcher that I've pulled up on the screen? I can.

Are they sparkling their buttholes in case they get pantsed? Thank you. I think if you're doing the crack buddy, there's a little bit of accidental, like as a byproduct, you're going to end up with some. It creeps. It creeps. You're going to end up with some glitter in your butthole. It's going to happen. Yeah.

Yep. Yeah. That's actually what it follows is about. And then you got a new kink. Congratulations. Yeah, Indiana, absolutely congrats for not being part of Blood Week. Oregon on Friday. Good job not being part of Blood Week as well.

We've had worries about you, but you didn't do it. Yeah, y'all have been dicking around for a minute, but nope. But who should we, which Blood Week candidate should we look at next? Oh, I think we got to go right down through the top five. Okay, okay. I don't want to take away from Arkansas, but I think there is a little, little bit of degree difference between the Tennessee loss and the Alabama loss because I don't think Tennessee played their best. Like they were absolutely, there were key injuries on both sides at very bad times for both teams. there were some weird

refereeing decisions Tennessee in particular we've been worried about those tackles both of Nico's tackles for a couple weeks now and as feared they got absolutely mauled up front

by Arkansas but in general over a timeline I like this coach a lot I like this coaching staff a lot this is not a secret this team does not play well offensively on the road. Beyond that, I don't want to take anything away from Arkansas because that was a hellish, hellish four hours. And man, that Arkansas, that Arkansas defensive front is

feral. I don't like them. This is a compliment. This is a Arkansas football. Like, in the same way that, like, I don't think anybody, certainly we, didn't think. like oh vanderbilt's really going to wreck some shit this year this is an arkansas team that really after that overtime loss to oklahoma state in week two and even coming into the season we were just like i don't know i don't think they have like i don't think they have it um this is really big win for them oh yeah like this is there's still a lot of there's a lot of season left to go they still got to play lSU they still got to play old miss in texas and miss but this is this is this is there's a the Tennessee Arkansas game is always they don't play very often but it is an

underrated game in terms of just weird shit like it takes a little bit of a Texas tech after dark tone sure a lot of times and uh no this is this is one for the books they have a lot to be proud of especially considering for example when their starting quarterback went down mid game uh they brought in then and this we saw us against Oklahoma they brought a backup who was shaky for a minute and then just came immediately online. Nailed some key passes and some key moments. I've forgotten his name because I've never seen him before. You're talking about how these troubles were kind of on the way for Tennessee based on a couple of things. Not on the way. It's just, it's just a... You can see it happen. There's tendencies.

There's tendencies. Like, I, you know, I think they're going to, I think bad things are going to happen every week, but that's because I've lived through the past 15 years. But I don't think this was if it didn't happen tonight i think this kind of loss was bound to happen at some point as long as they keep playing the way they do on the road oh i think this i think this win for arkansas was on the way because they've okay from that perspective yeah from that angle yeah it does make a lot more they've put up a lot of yards they've just fucked up the end of a couple of games with stupid mistakes and weirdly enough when they had every possible disadvantage starting quarterback out right like really tough opponent they didn't they did not make the

kind of mistakes that have crippled them in a couple of games. So, like, they, Arkansas hasn't been terrible. They've been super productive on offense. And defensively, they've had their moments. Just, you can kind of go, all right, if all that hits at once, this is exactly what that kind of win looks like. Can I ask a question? Mm-hmm.

I don't, I don't disagree that it was the tactical correct choice. It felt very weird that I think we're all pretty, like, I buy that, uh, Tennessee let Arkansas score their last touchdown. It's tactically correct. I still don't love it. It was mostly weird because it's like your offense. Yeah. It's not like you were like,

I want to get the ball back in the hands of the offense that has been humming. Yeah. That was the part that I was sort of like, okay, I get that you kind of have to do this, that the situation dictates it. And it's not better to be like, well, now I gave it to my offense with 14 seconds to go. It just felt weird.

That's all. Spencer, you've pointed out for a couple weeks now that the Tennessee's weakness right now, even before this week,

you said, is it quarterback? And, you know, there's not a lot of experience there and you can't get reps like this until you play these games. No, and doing this,

doing this like on the road in a place that you don't have a whole lot of, you know, you don't have a whole lot of regular experience with. It's tough. That's not, but that's not an excuse. That's hard.

Oh, no. That's not an excuse. excuse, that's an explanation. And one thing you're going to see. They were, I'm going to use the word again, just because it comes with hogs after it. They were feral in the best possible way. With deeper conference schedules and talent being able to migrate from place to place with greater mobility,

y'all, it's going to happen. Like, your team's going to lose. On principle, I love that. What do you think Hugh Freeze would have done if it had been his quarterback who ran out bounds and didn't get a pass off on the final play of the game. Oh, that was bad. Yeah, that of all the times to show one's age, uh, foof. You know what I think it reflects, uh, looking back at earlier, besides being like 14 years old.

There's, no, I, I think one of the, it's kind of a double-edged sword. Like, the NC State game sticks out for this for me. I think the Tennessee coaching staff has done a very good job of present, prevent, presenting, sorry, their young quarterback with simple, simple choices. Right. He shouldn't have been in that situation. They do a good job of saying like, okay, we're going to call plays where we are not asking you to do an excessive amount of processing in real time. The problem is, in an end-of-game situation, when the defense is just there to stop a

touchdown and that's it, you kind of have to do that. And weirdly, I feel like he hasn't had the reps because they've been. playing with like I don't want to say the bumpers have been up but in some ways I think that has been true for him as a pastor well and also a five touchdown lead is a is a hell of a bumper to put up yes sure sure yeah for that um anyway I feel like we should I can't tell if we should get off this right now because it's my team and of course I will talk about it all night um but I think we have some money to make a little bit of Spencer a little bit of money to make do you like money all right buddy don't fuck this up I listen I I

I love money, okay? And I love real money. Real money sports action. That's why prize picks is the best place to get that real money sports action. I crave.

Spencer, what's the tagline? prize picks run your game i thought that more people would have picked up by now that we're being really mean to alabama by saying that we thought they were playing to their ceiling against vanderbilt and tennessee wasn't uh this is important i have an update here from the cow the cow mind game yes cal lining up for an extra point to make the score i'm going to wait until the X point goes through on my Yep, there it is. We are now looking at 2810

Cal early in the second half because of a pick six thrown by Cam Ward. A pretty long pick six as well. By the way, I chose more on Cam Ward interceptions this week

on Fry's Fix. Thank you, Cam Spencer, you have a highs them vote. How are you feeling about this? I got to tell you, Cam Ward throws the most like cross field surely I have the strongest arm in the world this is one of the this is listen I live in Tennessee I've seen what will levels can do I'm not going to say this is the worst pick six you'll ever see it's pretty bad it's pretty it's pretty undesirable so yes we are now looking at Cal the Cal algorithm stronger than ever up 18 points

Was an Allison in the chat You can take Cam Ward out of Wazoo Cal Week But you can't take the Wazoo Cal Week Out of Cam Ward Beautifully said Remember the Cal defense It's not my ball And it's not your ball

It's our ball As always We'll have more updates here on Fullcast After Dark on what at least early and still a lot of time left to go but what seems to be like even more proof. I will say

this. If Cal wins this game now we're not just talking about Blood Week. We're probably in the like Pantheon Blood Week discussion. Right? Oof. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna, we're have to wait for we're have to wait for Jason to

rule on that. But it's certainly up there. Let's talk about. Yeah. Go ahead. I want to cover. I want to cover. I want to cover, I want to keep building this resume. We have the midweek show to go through all the previous blood weeks. We do. But, but I want to cover one, we have to go way back in time to noon for this point. Buddy, we got a lot more games to talk about. You sure you want to go

back to noon? This is, no, this is a good, yeah. This one's super important, I think. All right. Okay. Because it covers so many things. What happened at noon? Texas A&M absolutely just, just, just took Missouri and just trash canned them. him just took the trash out. He just took that big... You're down here with the rest of us.

Yes. Took the rumored number one pick for the Florida job, Eli Trinklitz. He don't want that job. He's a smart man. Oh yeah. Oh, way to go. Yeah, see? That wily little codger.

And did not do anything. If I tell you... I thought he was practicing for the Florida job by not wearing an undershirt. Mm-hmm. And by having a horrendous comb over. remember fraud an important part of the university of Florida football nipples welcome yeah why that's going to get clipped yeah that's right oh let them breathe oh yeah hey Doug if you're listening to this in post there is your social clip for the week brought to you by prize nips it's amazing how

fucking little mazoo did in this game god I thought you were going to talk about his nipples again no small and dying like we all know what they look like after today not talking about them doesn't mean that we don't know what they look like it is amazing how much this missus cody schrader because they only ran the ball for 68 yards and i put way too much offense on of this offense on brady cook and in return brady cook can i reach you his line 186 yards oh that's not bad maybe no no stop yes it is bad go ahead keep going i'm going to keep going and tell you why he went 13 for 31 that is your like likely preseason all-american brady cook lining up and putting a sub 50% on the board preseason you could

have made a case i think everyone would have said he was at worst one of the three best quarterbacks in the conference uh-huh like you probably you would probably say yours beck and Yeah, yes, and Cook. You probably, in some order, I think, is who you would have had. Somebody's going to yell at me and say, I forgot somebody, but that's fine. You would not say that right now because Brady Cook has been bad. I am going to post, but not read aloud, the most upsetting comment we have ever received. And it'll just be a special treat for those of you who are here with us tonight that we will never fucking mention it again.

Sometimes, sometimes we make it more valuable to listen to the show after the fact. Dig up. Absolutely not. Miami's about to punt, by the way, just so you know. Oh, good. Yeah. We have a Brazilian bot in the Twitch portion of the chat, but I'm actually really enjoying her presence, so I think we should leave her.

Cool. Okay, good. Do you know how to say a Brazilian word? You mean, did we speak Portuguese? Oh, is this? I bet this is because of the thing I've put at the bottom. Oh, I thought it was from the big Brazilian import on BlueStag. It could be that, too. Anyway. I can say it must have been the prongs thanks to too many watches of love actually

but that's about it Also in this game By the way Texas A&M It is amazing how much better they look After just six games Of the Mike Elko regime Mike Elko's not stupid

Yeah not stupid Holy hell Unlike their previous coach Who was very stupid This team This team did nothing But punch Missou With the face

From the go Like, it's 4110, and I will tell you, it was worse. It was so much worse. They led 24-0-0 at the half. Mizzou had jack shit. They came out. They had an immediate one-play 75-yard drive when Levi-on-Moss got a touchdown. Just an amazing job.

Like, that's a football-ass football team. Highest compliment possible. A lot of the first, a lot of the, not first year, Mike, it's not a first year coach per se, but like a lot of the first year coaches in a new job are doing really well. Like Syracuse is doing really well. Boston College lost today and, uh, but like it's still doing really well. Philosophical question.

Yeah. Do you think this is part of the swirl of effects, uh, that has kind of, thrown everything up in the air with you know the with the transfer portal and uh the new conferences and like it's is it easier for new programs to get their feet set while so much around them it's so many leagues is in chaos um that's what i'm trying to say i think that's part of it for sure i'm not trying and i'm not trying to diminish his accomplishment because i I loved Elko at Duke, and I love them in this job. But I wonder if it is, I wonder if the first year coaches are finding it easier to find

their feet when everybody else around them has to scramble just a little bit more. Yeah, it probably levels the playing field and sort of makes it, it eliminates a little bit of the like year oneiness of it all in some way. But like, I mean, yeah, it's, it's probably something I would take some more time to think about before I had a big feeling about it but yeah I don't know I don't know how we would quantify it I'm just noodling yeah yeah um but yeah I would I would think this too a lot of these jobs were obvious mismanagement not like program poverty in terms of talent like A&M there's a lot of talent there it was flagrantly mismanaged by a guy who did not delegate and

did not hire well in terms of assistance and you get someone who just puts a little bit of order and accountability in there. Oh, look, they're, they're housing Mazoo by 31 points. Yeah. Yeah, that, that happens, you know. Duke, the program that Mike Elko left to come to A&M. They lost today, but they are a pretty good football team. They got Manny Diaz in, first year coach doing pretty well as a result of walking into a pretty good situation. I don't know. Also, not for that, but it's not all. What happened on the other side of that Duke football game. With Georgia Tech, you mean?

Yeah. Georgia Tech won. They did. Another guy. Come on, man. Yeah. But yeah, I just wanted, I went before, like, when we're going over, like, the Blood Week, Mizzou finally, like, for anybody who had suspicions about them being

fake bills, super fake bills. Miss Cody Schrader a lot. I remember the other. first-year coach that I wanted to highlight. Louisiana Monroe has a first-year head coach. We've talked about him previously beating UAB, but they be... Hey, what happened to UAB today? UAB got absolutely stomped by too late.

We haven't talked about it, but Trent Delfare... Who's coaching them instead? Trent Delford keeps making comments about UAB athletics in the school and whatever that sort of imply like he thinks it's a dumpy place to be, and it's just is a bad luck. It's our dumpy place. God do that. But Brian Vincent,

who was the interim at, we've covered this before, was the interim at UABs, now the head coach. Too bad he didn't want the job. At Louisiana Monroe, beat undefeated JMU 2119. And like,

all the things we've said about the other first year head coaches and, you know, you have unused talent. Like, that has not been true recently or for large stretches of history. of Louisiana Monroe, like to be four and one and two and O in Sunbelt play and beating James

Madison, who, you know, didn't look quite as poised as they had did last year, but still, like, very impressive. Can I talk for a second about the two genders of LinkedIn comments that we're getting? Sure. Both of which come from people with their government name and presumably their real photo. So just within a couple comments of one another, there's two types of LinkedIn comment we're getting. Here's one.

Trent Dilfer needs to be fired. Here's another. UAB, university's all but. I appreciate that both of you exist and that both of you are here tonight. It takes a village and you're part of ours. Holly, what else takes a village? Hi.

Segway, buddy. Thank you. There are two groups of our community that we are keeping in our thoughts for various reasons tonight. One is all of our friends at Cal who have been up since 3.30 this morning, who are currently watching their... Ryan, you're there. You're on the sidelines.

Would you call this a dog walking yet? I wouldn't because we are currently locked in a review to see if Cal's quarterback through a very ugly incomplete pass or a very ugly fumble, which Cal recovered, so it won't be catastrophic either way. But there is some element of like, oh, the old Cal is still in there somewhere. I'm getting cocky and I probably shouldn't. It's okay. It's because it's blood weak. It's getting to me. The other group of people we are keeping in our thoughts are our community members at the other end of the country still digging their way out from the effects of Hurricane Lane. If you are in a channel 6 chat this morning, you heard us talk about this a little bit,

but we are going to, for a number of reasons, hold out from directing all of our efforts and all of our monies and all of your monies towards one single fundraising effort. The reasons for this are multiple. First of all, the area of devastation is so wide that we want to, I can't get through this without using the phrase hold space, and I'm sorry about that, but we want to

acknowledge that there is a lot going on. The second thing is that we don't want to point you guys in the direction of a fundraiser for a week and then act like this has been solved because this is going to be months and years of recovery from the region. I grew up just a, depending on where you mark the end of the floods right now, I grew up between one and two hours from where the badge it really starts. And because of that, we are going to basically just keep feeding you guys little opportunities here and there over the next however, however long it takes for you to jump in and help if you like. I'm going to drop these links in the chat here one by one and we'll put them in the show notes and then I will explain them as we go. If you're familiar with the donation we made

with our sticker money to the Houston Community Fund. The two links that I'm dropping in here work about the same way. We are directing you guys to the North Carolina Community Foundation, specifically to the NCCF's Disaster Relief Fund, and to the East Tennessee Foundation's Neighbor to Neighbor Disaster Relief Fund. How these work is like this. You give these foundations your money, and they turn around being locals themselves

and disperse it in the form of grants to people on the ground. You know, if you give $10 to one of this foundations, you know, five of it might end up going to a food bank and five of it might end up going to a diaper bank. The point is we are giving money to people locally and letting them determine being on the ground we're best to use that money. So we've got those links in the comments right there.

We're going to include them in the show notes. And we are going to be highlighting more opportunities in the shows to come as we hear about them. If you have friends, family, you yourselves in the area yourselves, and know how we can help. Please email any one of us. We will try and do our best. to highlight as many as we can because this fucking sucks. And if there's one thing

that we know how to do, it's yell at people until they give money to folks in need. Can I boost your spirits? Touchdown, Cal? While you were delivering a very heartfelt and very helpful message to the audience

about those efforts, Cal converted a screen pass on 3rd and 16 into like a 50-yard game and shortly thereafter scored rather easily on a quarterback keeper on an option

to now go up what will be, yeah. God is a lesbian and she is with us. Yeah. This is... God damn it. I was about to play gasoline. Let them sing.

I present to you Nonstop Lama 117 Redistribute your funds North Carolina Like Cal redistribute studies I present to you The ballistic missile First and last time

I am ever using that word on this show I present to you The ballistic missile submarine Cal October While we're talking about Cal Can I tell you I heard the meanest thing I've ever heard anybody say about us Ooh

That could go a lot of ways Yeah go ahead We had one blessed user name I did not catch who saw the story about Kamala going on Call Her Daddy and was like, this bodes well for the full cast. I'm like, oh, this is a fundamental misunderstanding of a lot of things.

Well, maybe one way to read that is that political candidates aren't paying that much attention to the podcast they are going on, which would bode well for us. Cal hitting 35 points now represents their highest point total, since and I forget the commenter who said this,

indeed, the Kalamazoo came of last year when they one by scoring 42 points. Cal, man, like, Cal only needed 21 points to beat

Auburn, and they only put up 31 on UC Davis and San Diego State. Miami. Hooh, ha, buds, I don't know about all this.

I got some worries. I got some concerns. So I was going to say this must be a really good offense, right, Ryan? Yeah, they must be incredible.

Somebody in the chat said, uh, that we should get Jimmy Carter. And while I fully agree, are you guys aware that Army and Navy are both 5 and 0 for the first time since 1940 fucking 5? I did not. I have another. Spencer, you should remember this. You were in school then. I have another good Jimmy Carter for you. Jimmy Carter fact for you. Please do. Jimmy Carter was president the last time Vanderbilt beat Alabama in Nashville.

Way to lay that one out over the plate. That was beautiful. I mean, it's a good. I mean, it's Just sometimes they set themselves up. Sorry, one more from the comments because y'all are on fire tonight in zombie act. Noted excellent offense have her head coach, Justin Wilcox. Oh, what a week. A little fun, little fun subtext in that Navy Air Force score, by the way. Air Force kind of caught between cycles recruiting-wise here. Normally a really good program coach by a coach that a lot of people hate and can't stand.

Troy Calhoun. So when it's your turn? to take the whoopin. Yeah. Yeah, guess what? Navy put up 34 on you. Oh, my God. I can't believe.

You've made a Michigan-based mistake. I can't believe that we left out another team that I guess technically didn't avoid contributing to Blood Week because they're not ranked even though they're undefeated. Pitt beat UNC for the first time ever. Did you see what Mack tried in pregame? Please tell us. Oh, my God. First of all, Pat Narduzzi was miced up in pregame.

I don't know why the university agreed to this, but I am so grateful they did. I don't know if there is some kind of gentleman's agreement behind the scenes that says that they will not broadcast him cursing, but they had Narduzi mic'd up for a pregame sequence, you know, just out there like, you know, go on, 10, get after it, boring, coachy stuff. Max sneaks up behind Pat in view of the cameras and I'm having a hard time watching this clip and trying to view it as anything

but he is trying to do one of his post-game Tommy knocker hugs to suck because who has more energy than Pat Narduzzi? Nobody with the possible exception of PJ Fleck and Mac's on a losing streak, right? So he's trying to feed before the game is over. Also Max's already beaten PJ Fleck this season.

Right. So, right. But has he fed since then? Sure. Right. right so pat spins around and goes i thought you were a young person which is picked up crystalline and then mac kind of says something and walks away and pat says at least one more times like he thinks that i guess mac either did not react or tried to no sell this joke and pat was like i thought you were a young guy um at any rate mac is visibly cranky did not uh did not move any life force from Pat Narduzzi's form, and the ensuing game bore out that exchange. Eli Holstein, baby.

Also, it's been funny for six weeks that Pitt is undefeated and not even cracking the top 25. That has to change this week, right? If it doesn't, there's something real weird going on. Like, even, listen, even we have to say, come on, y'all. Let's get serious. You've got to... It's a weird year. Put them in there.

Three and two, Louisville cannot... If Louisville was going to be ranked, come on. We have to make this... It's just silly at this point. Let me... Just for funsies, let me show you, like,

down at the very bottom, who is ahead of Pitt. Pit is not even leading the others receiving votes in this preceding week's poll. Was Rutgers ahead of them? Mm. Because Rutgers had beaten Washington.

Oh, God. Rutgers got even fewer votes. I didn't even see that. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. I'm sorry. Rutgers, you had it worse because in the AP poll where Pitt had 42 votes Pitt had 42 votes Pitt had this week. 26. Seven. Oh, boy. Okay. Seven points they could have used elsewhere. They could have used them today when they lost 14-7 to Nebraska. A game, by the way, where there was so nothing happening for Rutgers that at one point, a wide open man had a sure touchdown pass bounce off of his shoulder. Yeah. Yeah. And Greg Shiano, among other fantastic decisions, trying to kick field goals in a gusting Midwestern gale. Yeah.

Real smart. Foof. Great job. Let's see. We have done. we have done loss number one we have done loss number four uh loss number eight appears more and more to be pending we have done loss number nine oh michigan come on down baby yeah four and two is going to put you out of the big ten i am afraid we did hear from michigan fans tonight who

were at this game who were delighted as they should have been by their first visit to Washington Stadium, which I maintain is an underrated spot to catch a game. I'm glad you guys got to appreciate the beautiful scenery. What else did you do? Well, you made a quarterback switch to actually having a quarterback who would throw the ball to Jack Tuttle. Did that work? For a second.

And then it didn't. Uh-huh. You know, like, remember life's about the editing, Ryan. Did it work? Yes, if I cut it at, you know, Act 1, right? Yeah. There we go. If I cut it at Act 1, then it 100% work.

And then it very much didn't as he fumbled and threw a pick and, yeah, put Michigan's defense out there way too long. Are people doing exactly, let's go to, was this thing that I predicted, is it happening? Are people blaming Michigan defensive quarter, Wink Martindale, because he's highly aggressive. Wink Martin Dale was trending at one point, which is a lot for a game day. Yes. And because he kind of looks like a dumbass. I'm not saying he's a dumbass.

I'm just saying he kind of has dumbass tendencies, like he looks like a dumbass. Yeah, he's getting blamed for stuff. Did Will Rogers have a pretty good game against that defense? Yeah, they actually did. And Jonah Coleman, if you want to know how badly things went for them, It was not a touchdown, but on a third and one, right at the goal line, did little-ass Jonah Coleman run straight through 340 pounds of magnificent Michigan man in the form of Kenneth Grant?

Yeah, he ran him over. That's how badly things were going. They were out Michigan in Michigan. It was jarring to see. Well, Rogers was interviewed after the game. said remember right to your congressman even if he can't read write to him he finally met a thing he didn't like is that the first time anybody's ever loved one of these back

because I'm just going to keep making him until he graduates finally yeah Michigan Michigan looked Michigan like the lack of quarterback the lack of quarterback The lack of quarterback actually matters. No, just don't pass. Just don't do it. You don't have to do it.

Yeah. I mean, that's an option. They could try that. You know what? Call Vanderbilt, say we'll give you $8 million for Diego Pavia right now. That's it. Right now. He would be worth it.

Right? He would be worth it. Vanderbilt, you have two losses. One of them is Georgia State. Your path to the playoff is. arduous at best. You still got to play Texas. Michigan, you could use a Diego Pavia right now, couldn't you?

Ryan Nanny's sewing discord. Trying to ruin the dominant Vanderbilt Commodores run to a national title. Sorry. The snake in the grass in their own backyard. Hey, right next door to Michigan, you will never believe what happened. Hmm Go on As falls the number 10 team

So falls Wait am I looking at the Did they do this again? What? Michigan and USC lost by Michigan and USC are having some kind of E.T. Elliott season. Okay.

Okay. They didn't have identical scores this week. One of them lost 1727 and one of them lost 1724. That's totally different. Yes. but it's also basically the same. And it's also a like,

the winning team won it in the fourth quarter where the other team couldn't show up. Fortunately, Lincoln Riley is handling this with equanimity. I guess the other difference is that USC for a minute looked like they might tie the game. And Michigan did not give, in the fourth quarter, at least, did not give you the impression that was going to happen. I did not see a bit of this game and only saw Lincoln throwing a snit in the press conference.

Did anything interesting happen? All right, moving on. Yeah, I mean, right now, I think if you are a U.S. and you are contending with the fact that you have a dominant win over a Utah state team that is very broken. That is like Ash and Gentie again had a great day. Boise State easily dismissed. Mantled Utah State. That is not proof positive. You beat a Wisconsin team that beat Purdue the worst that they've ever beat Purdue in the history of their matchups, of which there have been a lot. So I don't want to contend, like entirely discount Wisconsin. But this, Wisconsin is not like,

oh, this is the year school. And has that opening win against LSU, which there has at least been some evidence to point to like, oh, maybe that was good but not amazing. And now, not to play the schedule game, now they got, now they get to play Penn State next. Not to play the schedule game was not to play the schedule game. There's a little bit of like, I don't know, I don't, I don't, I don't feel great for USC. And I don't think they feel great about themselves either, frankly. I do want to interrupt, by the way, we do have an update in the ongoing Cal Miami. You're not the correspondent. I was about ready to do it.

Yes, Miami has scored a touchdown. Yes, they just converted the two-point conversion. It is now a 17-point deficit, 3518. But we're not worried. No, not worried at all. Because remember, the revolution is ongoing. And every single step back is just a preface to two steps forward. Right?

We move back so that we may go around. We retreat only to advance further. Cal, if you end up losing this game, it's because of all the AI art you did this week. Yep. We're sending that to us, by the way. The ocean is mad. You're very funny. We'd rather have MS paint.

The ocean is mad. Yeah, give us some M.S. Paint. Give us some really, yeah, give us some quality MS paint, maybe even Photoshop memes. Do not use AI. A&M's been relying on MS paint for years, and now they're good. Don't worry about what happened before then. Really good. worry about all the years before

then. Not important. Yeah. There are some games by the way that there are some teams where I legit don't know who's going to show up week to week. Hi, South Carolina. Thought maybe South Carolina had a legit chance to maybe do something in this game. Nick certainly thought so this morning.

Yeah. Nick thought this was a go and to exert some force in this game. And instead, the most notable thing about South Carolina's performance is that one of their defensive ends was hit up with an unsportsman-like for pretending to shotgun someone to death while they were down 24 points which if I am writing in the annals of South Carolina

Chapter 1 is the time when losing by 24 that one of them got an unsportsman-like conduct pretending to shotgun someone to death South Carolina politics explained Three's too many son three's far too many I don't know if you've noticed this by the way refs this year refs have gone up and done this thing where where they line up and they immediately break up the celebration like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa that's a lot of gyrating that's a lot of whoa whoa whoa like you'll see them come over like hey hey hey hey hey that's enough that's enough dancing young man leave some space for the holy spirit it's amusing to me yeah it's very it's very like youth counselor yeah right yeah

Um, but by the way, we're going to, we'll cite Fettywop as much as we like, commenter who mentioned this. Oh, let's steal joy in blood week. Yeah, hell no. I'm very edgy. Today we lean into everything. Oh, man. You know who leaned over a little too far and fell off their perch?

Hmm. Number 22, Louisville 27, SMU 34. Ooh. Absolutely. I have to say about that game because I was too busy watching West Virginia beat the daylights out of Oklahoma State, as we all predicted. Speaking of this was actually who I would really meant, like, I, that's who I thought you were about to talk about.

No, no, no, like Old Miss in South Carolina, I don't really know who I'm going to get week to week, though I suspect Old Miss, I'm usually going to get a pretty good team with West Virginia and Oklahoma State. I was like, random event generator. That's what that game is. At 7.28 p.m. I posted, considering that the events of today's second slate have been placed in my path to soothe me against the night to come. And I appreciate West Virginia giving me just like a little glow to take me into the night slate before it was brutally snuffed out by the blood god as I deserve. As we all deserve. The blood god eventually comes for all of us when you think about it. I guess unless you die in space.

It's more of the bones god. Well, no, no, no. If you die, if you die, listen, using... When, when we die in space. Yeah. As a, as a practitioner, by the way, of the science of Warhammer, let me tell you, dying in space, it's just as fucked up. Okay.

You can, yeah, there's all kinds of gods out there waiting for you. Huh. Let's think about it. Good enough. Hey, Spencer, it sounds like Billy Napier is going to really pull it together there. You want to get them another year? You know, you beat them. I said, I tried to shield you.

I tried. Hi, we beat UCF. I don't, like, and the game is so inconsequential in the overall arc of history that I'm not even going to make fun of you, UCF fans. There we go. Why would you make fun at UCF fans? You're not Godfrey. That's true. That's not even my bit.

Yeah. I love your skate. Although we did have a weird time with the Hilton this weekend. Yeah. I love your giant, I love your giant skate park of a university. It was Friday, but it was an important contributor to Blood Week, number 24. 25 UNLV losing to Syracuse in a banger is maybe not the exact right term, but like a real wild game. Put it this way.

Kyle McCord threw 63 passes for Syracuse, and this game only went to one overtime. This is not like, uh-oh, they went to 15 OTs, and Kyle McCord kept trying to throw two-point conversions. Like, this was, this also had the game-winning touchdown. for Syracuse is a piece of running where the defender for UNLV had the running back wrapped up and he just refused to go down and he just basically took this defender with him into the end zone Cal is just as an update continuing to run free and is now already down to the Miami 32 Miami, your defense is not going, it does not appear that it's going to save you right now. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Okay. You know what's great is that I'm just far enough in the broadcast behind this is that y'all all start yelling about it and then I look up and it happens? Yes. This is great. And you see a quarterback just allaying a defensive end. Mario Cristobal looks very sweaty right now. Commenter Nicholas says, ranked UNLV loses, contributing to Blood Week as such a wild concept.

Do you know what else? not the first time we brought it up this season but it's weird to be once again looking at Kansas which lost to Arizona State lost another single point lost another single score game and it's like I it's an event

it still feel like an event that Kansas is losing yeah it still feels remarkable yeah it is but also the worst thing I saw about this year's Kansas team was Bill Connolly suggests that is Scott Frost coaching this team? Oh, boy. Oh, that's mean. Yeah. I wanted

to do a team that actually, while we're talking about positives here, turned it around this week in a dramatic fashion. Yeah, Florida. I wanted a team with some hope. You can't reach me. I'm taking advantage of that.

And that would be a team that prior to this... Wait, wait, wait, hold on. I want to try to make him feel better. Guess what? Spencer. There was no chance Florida could participate in Blood Week because Florida had no chance of being ranked in the first place. Amen. Amen, brother. Tell it. The unnamed shall, the meek shall inherit the earth. That's what I'm believing right now. We're going to talk about a team that we already talked about. No, absolutely not. Because we have not. We haven't talked about a team that over the last two games has scored a grand total of zero points leading up to this week where they decided, hey, We're done with all that.

New haircut guy. New haircut, Houston scored 30 points and beat the shit out of TCU on Friday night. That's not going well. No, reminding everybody that Sonny Dykes, sunny Dykes is not a stock you want to buy when it's high. Yeah, yeah, but you can't really, you know, at least you've got a bryles in there for leadership. Oh, God. It's just, it's bad all the way down.

it's sure is yeah Willie Fritz may be the worst interview in the universe the man could coach football and they figured out that they had a quarterback who could run and it's very difficult to defend a quarterback who can run when he can run Willie Fritz has the eyes of steamboat Willie in the brain of Doctor Doom and this is mostly a compliment mostly yeah so TCU obviously went

undefeated in conference blade not including the conference championship game the year that they made it to the national title. Do you know what their conference record has been last season and so far this season combined? Four and eight. Goodness. Yeah.

There's some like aggressive regression to the mean going. I'm sure Gary Patterson is looking at this. We had like, oh, your shiny new car is not, oh, how's how's your cyber truck now fuck face you know Gary Patterson has added songwriter to his Twitter bio yeah do you know what his song is how do you like your new coach

doesn't he suck ass yeah that's my song it's not great it's a songwriter put in the bio I mean thank you Toby beef I would also like to acknowledge that Sam Houston state is five and one right now

now. That's all. Is it time to say good night? It might be. I think we're getting there. How close is Cal? There is one other game we haven't talked about at all that is happening right now. Texas Tech is currently beating Arizona, 18 to 6 into the third quarter. Sure.

That's happening. Great. Cool. But your Cal Miami update. It's the end of the third quarter. Cal leads 3518 they have the ball at the Miami 21 yard line with second and nine to go and we're just I think we're just going to have to wait and see for this one. Should we just leave the stream open and everybody get their jammies on? You go get a snack.

Yeah, line up. I will, dude, I will tell you, as for me in my house, we ordered feelings pizza at the exact right time tonight. Still got it. It did. Yeah, do you know what we did? It arrived with like three and a half minutes to go. It was right there for all of our feelings to be put inside us in pizza form. Oh.

And then what do we do once we got the pizza? We redistributed it. To our feelings. Go ahead. Play the song. Yeah. Our pizza. Right?

That's what Cal's saying tonight. They're saying, Miami, that's nice. But our pizza. this has been brought to you by prize picks this has been the full cast after dark despite prize picks his own best efforts this has been brought to us by full yes this has been a blood week

consider yourselves witnesses to history I hope you had as good a time as I did because this was this was the kind of week that reminds me why I love this sport Thank you.
