Texas should be sponsored by dude wipes because these holes are clean. That's an extrusive thought. It is now. I suppose, yeah, it's true. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But in fact, tonight's episode is brought to you by... Wait, we haven't started the episode. We haven't started the show. Wait, it was started the episode yet. Okay. Spencer, you can start the show. Fullcast After Dark for men

Welcome to the forecast after dark after dark. Oh, this is sad wolf pack. No, who side are you on? I had a great night. All these sad Wolfpack noises are brought to you by Prize Fix. That's right. Fullcast After Dark brought to you by our sponsor Prize Picks. I am Spencer Hall.

I am joined as always by Ryan Nanny, Holly Anderson, Jason Kirk, and Douglas Reyes Serone on the Ones and twos. That's not Michael Serber. That's not Michael Server. It's weird. It's almost like that's never been Michael Serber, idiots. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I don't know if I'd go that far. That's how you get done framing server for a crime.

Yeah. Shout out to Mr. Oregon man in the comments. Shut up to me for getting this very, very wrong, my brand. Does an Oregon fan not have other problems right now? You got, listen, you need to focus on Ashton Jeenty. If you can stop him, then you can complain about other things. But until you stop that man from in the, words of Marshawn Lynch running through a motherfucker's face you need to go ahead and focus on him

I think there's no audio yet right in the comments yes you're doing it wrong I think the important takeaway from this moment in time in the the former pack 12 of the pack 12 teams that left clearly Arizona State is the strongest leading Mississippi State 20 to 3 in the second quarter after dominating their first game no question whatsoever Arizona State was always the strongest amongst us. Yeah. Kenny Thirlingham. The Thirlingham era has begun.

That name's horrible. Don't ever use it again, Spencer. I don't know. I saw a different Pac-12 team come away with a significant victory today. Well, yeah, but we talked about Texas. Well, also Oklahoma State, of course. Oh, right. I was referring to Cal.

My mistake. My mistake. When the Berkeley mob, when Hugh Freeze revealed himself as having been compromised by the woke West Coast liberals, the Antifa mob that just stormed Jordan her. That's always, listen, the secret to beating the Auburn Tigers was only to wave the mere idea of free school lunch in front of their eyes. No!

A child's being fed! That guy was amazing because it was like, Like, if you apply stereotype logic, then the softest football team that you could possibly conjure is an ACC team from Berkeley, California, and yet Auburn couldn't block them. It was beautiful. It was great. We don't have grades. You can't put a number, like so many other games today, and goodness, this is a little bit of a recurring theme, and isn't that satisfying. You can't put, you can't put a cold mathematical thing like a win-loss record up next to the warm glow of having leadership like Hugh Freeze and DJ Durkin.

I, right. I appreciate that Hugh Freeze. Or Trent Dilfer. Oh, we could get to that too. Oh, boy. Yeah, we could get to that. I do appreciate that Hugh Fries spent a lot of the offseason, and this is an un-

Or James Franklin, wait, they want, sort of. This is an ungenerous paraphrase. Oh, we love that. Bring it. It's an ungenerous day. Hugh Fries spent a lot of the off-season basically being like, look, we did not spend money in the transfer portal on a quarterback. We are aware that that would have been a thing to do, but we just didn't, we're going to, we

think we can get a little more. mileage out of this Pontiac Aztec that our dad gave us and then the Pontiac Aztec fucking fell apart today and I almost feel like QFries did this on purpose so he can go back to the boosters and be like I fucking told you we needed $300,000 but you didn't want to give it to me oh so you're saying he pulled the Mark Stoops where he was like I need more money and then he went out there and completely shat his pants against the team huh I'm really glad you didn't give me a beat of silence after saying he pulled a Mark Stoops

because I had a lot of answers in there and none of them were good. Nope, some of them legally actionable. You can't cut Auburn QB funds? You will regret this. If it's public record, it's not publicly actionable. That's true. We've got Peyton Thorne at home.

Guess what it is? Peyton Thorne. Man, what's the expiration date on this Peyton Thorne, Grandpa? Oh, my God. This is MRE Peyton Thorne. Why is this advertising the 1992 Barcelona Olympics? I was to say Operation Desert Storm on it. This is prepper, Peyton, Thorne.

Oh, boy. God, we have so many things to discuss here, but I want to get to the one. Oh, shit. Brian Kelly's leadership. Oh, they came back. Yeah, no. Brian Kelly came back on Nichols, y'all. Wow.

A triumph. A victory of the human spirit and overcoming the presence of, of Brian Kelly and winning a football game LSU you did it again you continue to do it congratulations that's not what I wanted to start with what I wanted to start with is the one that makes sense the one that's happened at noon the one where we were like who hey boy Michigan doing some refits to the big house how much mold we got in the woodwork here who it's looking like we got to tear this bitch down of the studs yeah there's quite a few things wrong with Michigan quite a few things right with Texas and when those combined you

get a game where, honestly, the final score here does not reflect what an ass beating this was. It was a comprehensive ass beating. I think Arch is going to transfer? What? Throwing stars cut both ways. Nobody knows that better than the Tennessee fan. Texas 31, Michigan 12. Can I read you a short stat line?

I would love it. six of nine for 81 yards and two touchdowns no sacks eight rushing yards do you know what this is that's quitting yours on third down oh against michigan he was fucking feasting uh-huh like like there's a lot to be listen michigan's quarterback situation suspect michigan's ability to run the ball suspect michigan's defense was not helping a ton guys like there are there are some capital p problems right now it's you know it's great because even even though michigan just won a national title with charon more coaching like almost half the games you still have what are you doing you still have asshole me no no no

keep going this was good rash no you still have you still have idiot michigan fans out here being like DEI hire. Yeah. Do you want to know what you could take away from this as a larger indication of how things are going in the program? You lost everyone to the NFL and won a national title last year. This is your, this is your cocktail season. This is, I'm just going to go to the beach, learn to be a bartender. Yeah, this is your.

This is your year of yes, which includes being very permissive about yards gained on you. Yeah. Also, I know who you can blame. Because I don't know, Ryan, Jason, Holly, but do you possess a certain skill when you go, socially, this is damaging, but I have this power. And mine is this. Me, a podcast host, certainly not.

Mine is this. I can look. Ballon. I can, we're watching garbage bags. There's garbage bags walking down from the roof of the stadium here in Charlotte, and they're the most beautiful things. It's like inverse Nebraska. Yeah.

Balon. Ballon. Oh, we're going to kill so many. Nebraska loves festive littering. That's what I remember. They love the hate birds. Well, they certainly trashed Colorado, didn't they? The thing I can do is that in a mob situation,

I am the one who can find the one person that everybody can universally blame, and I can name them. And I've already spotted that person. Kill the beast. Kill the beast. Exactly. Who's to blame? And I'm like, it's the redhead, right?

Like, I'm the guy who's appointing. And they're like, that guy, it's totally his fault. Is it actually his fault? Who knows? Of course, of course, Spencer goes after the Irish. I do. It's about time. For noted anti-Catholics.

No, listen, I'm following someone's lead here based on what happened today. But I'm the guy who could do that. So I'm going to help you, Michigan fans. I can point out who the problem is or who you're going to blame anyway. It's Wink Martindale. You want to know why? One, he totally looks like he has that we, the people sticker on the back of his truck. He's got the shades.

He's got the, like, hoodie. he looks like he got thrown out of a school board meeting he totally already looks like that too he's real aggressive which your offense didn't do dick and they were ineffective all day against a texas defense that was more than happy to help them look ineffective but at the same time he's not the same guy as last year and he's noticeable so you're going to blame him is this fair no am i singling him out unfairly here absolutely although i will point out everything he tried Steve Sarkisian was like, Ha ha, counter, answer.

Got that. Easy. Yeah. So you're going to blame him. Welcome to your luau year. You just blame that guy and then have another delicious pinia collada. That's your whole season.

I think another thing there is his name is wink, which is really cute when it's working, but once it stops working, his name's wink. Yeah, you're like, unsurious, man. Well, and my guy spent the last 21 years in the NFL. Like, on his Wikipedia page it includes like

Al Davis considered giving him the head coaching job for the Raiders it's like oh no stay away Concerning Stay far away Also here's the greatest part about

working in really complex systems in the NFL and only focusing on football that when you come back to college we're like dumbass instantly we're like NFL guy no brain none This football computer

is now down here watching 19-year-old stumble over each other Oh, he's the idiot Exactly What? You can't make this blitz off an A gap? No, he can't, he's 19 You don't understand that That's actually the dumb part

Your designs are brilliant Your inability to adapt to the caveman talent That's the problem Why do you think Jim Harbaugh Was trying so fucking hard to get back? That's true Like for all the good he did at Michigan And obviously it was a lot

Nothing made that man happier than be like, oh, thank God, I'm not a college coach anymore. Jesus Christ. I'll go, I'll go take on the curse that is the L.A. Chargers. I'll sleep in that haunted mansion. Whatever it takes. I'll literally, I'll go sleep on the beach in an RV.

Last six, last six people that owned the Chargers mansion died there. I don't care. Give it to me. Who's my quarterback? Justin Herbert? Fine. I was gone yesterday. I'm not even here right now. Yeah.

So does rotate a cuff to Satan, he did. Say whatever you want about Sark, though, by the way. That's a way to do the big spotlight game and absolutely beat some ass in it. So well done. Achievement unlocked. Possible Cabbage. I don't think there's anybody here operating under the assumption that Wink Martindale's Christian name was Wink. I was.

But thank you. I guess. I would have entertained that possibility. Seems fine to me. he'll either be this boy this baby will either be a game show host did you know that this guy's full name isn't actually mike his name is his name isn't squirrel white i bet so what is wink what is wink short for the original the the wink martindale the famous the originally famous one was winston so winkton yeah wink my favorite answer is winkin uh this one is folks thank you

for listening tonight on winkton this one is this one is winkworth i believe yeah I can't believe we've made it this long without really getting I'm saying it come on I'm just kind of letting it I'm letting it simmer and okay let's let's go okay Jason Jason pop the fucking top do I was watching NBC today and when you watch a Notre Dame game on NBC brother you are getting the full Pravda treatment you're it feels like it feels like your your entire home screen is decorated with green shit So to watch Notre Dame just...

Green shit, like maybe shit, Jason? Well, yes, frankly, that was the addition of green that emerged today because as a 28-point favorite, the team with the single easiest playoff path in the entire country, Notre Dame turned in a humongous L to the Northern Illinois University Huskies. This was especially interesting because I thought that I was the one who was going to lose our playoff.

argument today with Penn State kicking and screaming and dragging its feet against bowling green but no no oh I still feel completely fine about Notre Dame making the playoff it like they're fair enough they took a loss okay maybe it'll be 11 and 1 or 10 and 2 I'm not I'm not selling that on that yet and it's it's not necessarily this year that a team loses a home game in the playoff I just know it will be Notre Dame okay that's fair let's not get you're right this is good this is too fun to stop now. Did we over extend credit to Notre Dame based on a defeat of

Texas A&M? Yes, are we going to learn from this lesson? Fuck no. Thank you to John Boyce who tuned in in the middle of this game and said, is Notre Dame losing to a credit union? You did lose to a credit union. Additionally, when at the end of this game given a chance on the microphone

to sum up his experiences, NIU coach Thomas Hammack decided to cut a goddamn problem. This is now a Thomas Hammack fan show. Yes. We're just going to say nothing but wonderful things about him. But I love that underneath all of that, anytime you've seen him and experiencing real tearful joy on camera

in a football sense, I need you to know that half of it is legitimate joy. And the other half is him going, do you know all of the crap that I have gone through and the name of playing this child's game for a living? Because Thomas Hammack is on there going, I just believe so much these kids, they've been through so much. And I can hear in my head, we have a $42 recruiting budget.

Half of my roster transferred last night. I'm in DeKalb, Illinois. That's where I have to build a football team. And we just meet Notre Dame, who has their own profit a deal with NBC. We got people calling us a credit union, but we don't have any money. Our dog dies all the time. We're NIU. Things are shit.

And we just beat Notre Dame. Our pets have never had heads. I know. Our pets have never had heads. God damn right. I'm crying. Only thing anyone. knows about us is a giff of a dog

high-fiving someone from like 13 years ago and the time Kirk Herb Street was mad about us making the orange bowl. That's it. That's the whole university. And now there's a third thing. We miss Dave Doran. That's a thing people have to say. It's like when you see a high school

graduation ceremony. I know a school that might be willing to give him back. Yeah. About that. It's like when you see a high school graduation ceremony and half the parents are crying because they're happy and the other half are like, oh God, it's over. thank God I can't believe it

I literally can't believe it they did it man they did it they oh that's true Thomas Pratt Thomas Pratt in the comments for the win because he said

$42 budget plus 1.5 mil now I think it's 1.4 but anyway thank you Notre Dame for your largest I think they just take that 1.5 million

they got from Notre Dame and just go sample that South Bend roster a little bit while they're here why not anybody want to Anybody want to take a bus back to the, the, the, the, the beautiful, glorious town that is, the Calb? That is truly, I, listen, I love NYU.

I've actually been to NIH, unlike most people in this industry. And it is, it is one of the more depressing, not the, not the, not the campus itself, but like, to get there, you have to drive through some of the most depressing parts of this country. It means a lot right now to see this happen. You know that movie trope where somebody's car stalls out on the railroad tracks? And they're like trying, they're going, they're trying to get it to start back up. That's what the whole second half of this game felt like. The whole time, because there was no, there was no major point it was just like with Cal Auburn. It's like, there were points there was like, oh shit, Cal just did like, landed a big knockout.

out punch. But with Notre Dame, it was just like, why are you still there? Why? Just stop it. Get out of the car. Please, God. There's not even a train coming yet. Why are you waiting for this to happen? And then, smash. Smash by the NIU, the freak train that is. NIU. NIAU outgained Notre Dame by 102 yards. And no, but it should be 103 because they got short of, that's right. They should, they got shorted a full yard. When the ref was like, nope, ball's right there. What the worst calls I've ever seen? Yeah, like the announcers are like, what are we doing here?

Oh, my God. You totally shorted them a yard. Replace season. They're like, nope, sorry, Notre Dame. Going to have to kick a field goal. And they kick the ball straight through the uprights. And NIU, they might be a credit union, but they're taking your checks, baby. They're taking all of them.

Hey, we're tonight. We're giving them credit. That's right. For beating Notre Dame. I just, everybody was. It was so nice about Notre Dame. Everybody was like, wow, you know, like, we're not, we're not going to be jaded. We're not going to say we've been burnt by Notre Dame before.

Well, it's like, oh, their coach is handsome and isn't unpleasant. And we like Riley Leonard and, you know, yeah, sure, fine, whatever. And then we're all just like, kind of like the scars of Brian Kelly have just become like regular pink smooth skin. Not pink like him, but pink like keeling. and then this happens. Again, I want to remind everybody who might be the wife or a significant other

of a Notre Dame booster just tonight when that booster is sitting there watching things that make it mad. Notre Dame Boosters wives. Boost just getting like all of you. Yeah, when they're sitting there getting infuriated over lower than anticipated

capital gains returns or or children getting free lunches, right? Or Notre Dame losing. We better not close the carried interest loophole. Oh, we better not. I guess we are on LinkedIn. Oh, and that Marcus Freeman. Notre Dame Boosters probably do hang out on LinkedIn.

Yeah, I need all of them to just lean into their husbands or their significant others and go, you know what? You should give them a little more time. I'm serious. He's probably going to get another year on the job because they're like, I just can't fire that man. Hey, this works for who is that Connecticut coach? Bob Diaco?

Yeah, who was seen, what was it? I cannot, like, you might have just sealed his fate. Like, you might have killed Marcus Freeman's fate by comparing him to Bob Diaco to Notre Dame's fans. I don't have that power. I'm putting him on the hot scene right now, just based on that. Zach in the comments asks, y'all see there is a Coke Zero Oreo flavor drink now.

Yeah, I tried it today. I was going to say, Jason, have you tried it yet? It is weird. Spencer, you have become a banana water person, I have this correct? Unfortunately, yeah, I'm addicted to banana water. I think each of us has our mystifying drink. I can't call Oreo Coke Zero good, but I will probably have another because it's like this. I just keep licking this 9-volt battery.

It's not like the sensation of like eating an Oreo and then drinking a Coke Zero. It's almost like a La Croy of Oreo, which sounds disgusting, granted. La Croyo. It's not the chocolateiness that you taste. It's the uniquely Oreo-ness beyond the chocolatiness. And it's like, it's not upsetting. It's just strange. It's retolent of Oreo.

Yeah, it's not a euphemism, by the way. I'm going to call Coke Zero Oreo. I'm just going to call it Oreo water, just to keep it. straight in my head yes actually if you count Ryan do you have a drink because between that and me discovering that you can buy Sonic zero sugar cherry limeade

powders in bulk on Amazon we kind of are all riding our separate drink dragons I don't I have a two year old so I'm just like please stop I'm just still on your journey I'm on a journey you're right that's all right I appreciate that

Notre Dame lost this game whereas lots of other teams tried to Like, what happened in Northern Illinois, Notre Dame, Alabama and USF certainly tried to replicate. Oklahoma and Houston certainly tried to replicate. But those teams decided at the very end, like, why don't we win? Why don't we win instead of the team that we invited, that we, Penn State Bowling Green, like we said, but no, they said, why don't we win? But not Notre Dame. Notre Dame, truly the most generous host.

remembering what the name of the school stands for welcoming you in weary traveler here we have gifts for you there are three points at the end of the game to beat us it's not safe take this hands them hands them 1.5 million dollars in a win so there was a um a conversation online i saw i saw it brought up today by matt brown and then we remembered we had done this on an episode six years ago And then two years before that, I had a thread that went on for, like, three days about it that I've stupidly deleted. It's time to rank our favorite Notre Dame losses. I think this one, this one, this one is up there. The point, the amount of the point spread, the, as we've pointed out, the, like, head fake of, like, everyone's kind of okay with Notre Dame now.

And then this happens, and it reveals, like, oh, no, everyone still fucking hates them. We were just, you know, it was just like less painful to watch them momentarily succeed. I, my personal number one is Bama, Notre Dame 2012. I think that was the funnest night in the history of college football Twitter. It was just like, it was just a season long payoff of that team. Like, there's this idea that like Notre Dame is always as overrated fraud, which is not true. Like, if you go back into the 40s, 50s, and 60s, yeah, it was fucking true all the time. But, like, modern Notre Dame is like, yeah, they are their ranking.

It's fine. But that team was an exception because that team just kept dodging via the most heinous bullshit all season long. And everyone knew once they finally faced, you know, either Bama or Georgia that it was going to be curtains. And it was. Sorry to Golick Jr., my partner in drinking Oreo Coke Zero, probably. probably I'm sure he has by now that's number one for me the NC state hurricane game when Brian Kelly threw the ball about 900,000 times 26 passes in a hurricane and also if you recall that year NC State had grown their grass real long so it was like they were playing ankle deep in an aquarium the swamp and Brian Kelly just sitting there with They couldn't snap it in shotgun. Yeah, just Brian Kelly is sitting there, just becoming a bigger and bigger swollen prostate of a man.

Brian Kelly just continuing, like, at the helm of a Catholic school team, continuing to openly defy God by throwing, just throwing the football into the teeth of a hurricane. It'll be, today was incredible. It'll, the 26th team will always be number one for me. I have a favorite, and it comes from. Go ahead. Well, I was going to pull one that I had forgotten about, but I want to unearth it here. In 2007, Michigan opens the season, obviously losing to App State, 3432, first game on the Big Ten Network.

The next week, they host Oregon, and they get shelled, 397. The third week, they're still at home, they host Notre Dame, and they beat them 38-0. Like, to lose, to get Notre Dame, to get, to have Michigan in that position where it's like, oh my God, their psyches must be completely fucking fractured. They entered the year number five. All of their dreams are dead. And then to completely lay down and die. It's just delightful to me.

Had they already lost to Georgia Tech 333 to start the year? Yes, they had. Had they also lost to Penn State 3110? Was this a bad Notre Dame? name team yes but rivalries still matter and losing to an oh and two michigan 380 is real fucking funny even if you suck that year and notre dame definitely sucked that year uh i'm really glad you didn't take mine because that's a good one but mine is mine is equally excruciating because a four and four notre dame team we can all be right looking to turn the corner wanting to get

something positive going get above 500 heads in to their october 30th 2010 matchup against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane with high hopes and in fact they execute on a lot of those promises they gave more first downs they game more yardage they are just

overall completely superior except in one department which is four fucking turnovers four turnovers and the Tulsa Golden Hurricane beneath the divide hands of now current Texas State Coach

GJ. Ken they win 2827 in a game that by the way Tulsa never even wanted to win there's no historical significance you might as well have pulled any team in the nation and there and gone you're going to get a one point win at South Bend congratulations there'll be no series no home and home it's never happening again take it and run boys and they did it's magnificent well also all-time undefeated against Notre Dame is of course Yukon the Yukon Huskies no escalators mentioned I think, let's see here, have they played Marshall more than once? Marshall all-time undefeated against Notre Dame.

They did play, they made sure to play USF in the COVID year so that they could get one even with them at one and one and not have to deal with the indignity of having lost to. Having lost to a Skip Holtz team that win five and seven. Oh, God, it tickles. So, yeah. Every few years, it's important to just reassess the list, and man, all this stuff just holds up great. There was, of course, you have to mention the bowl game against Oregon State, where they were basically the Washington Generals against the Globetrotters for three hours.

But isn't this in a weird way kind of like... But surely, that was a very prestigious bowl game. Just a regular one. Isn't this? I think in a weird way, this is kind of like, Notre Dame should take something positive from this, because we're talking about all. different years, good Notre Dame years, bad Notre Dame years, whatever, it's always meaningful when somebody makes Notre Dame look like fucking ass. And that's not, like, there are a lot of named teams where it's like, if USC is bad enough for long enough, nobody cares if you beat

USC. It doesn't mean the same thing. You know, other teams can go through these stretches, but like, it's always special when Notre Dame barfs up a 1614 lost N IU. It always is. It's It's great because, like, we all remember every Bama loss of, you know, 20 years or whatever. Yes. You know, every Ohio State loss is easy to remember. There's barely ever any. Yes. But we do the same with Notre Dame, even though, like, their seasons don't actually ever amount to anything.

Right. Like, it's an amazing and beautiful thing. We didn't even mention the Cincinnati game that effectively put Cincinnati in the playoff and kept Notre Dame who didn't lose again that season out of it. That was an amazing season. It was just Notre Dame just pushing Cincinnati up into the playoffs. The entire season. Yes, putting Cincinnati on his back. They're one true heroic act in the history of college football.

Oh, they've always been the Midwest's greatest team. Also, lest we never fucking forget, Ram Vila hitting Evan sharply going over the middle, like a goddamn cruise missile, go Navy. Yes, go Navy. That might be my first. single great favorite Notre Dame ass kicking play so can i talk about a shit show like like just in like more so than classic Notre Dame losses i mean there's a lot to pick from today spent there's a lot to

pick from but i wanted to pick i wanted to pick one where we were like hey both teams are equally capable of completely fucking this up but one prevailed one decided to snatch defeat this could also go i think i might know where you're going you know which way i'm going are you going Pitts, Cincinnati on me? Are you going South Carolina on me? Are you going to Pittsburgh on me? Who would do that?

Oklahoma State, Arkansas. Oh, no. See, no. Double O T. I disagree. I think Arkansas, I think Arkansas was like, God damn it, we're still damn it, how is this game still happening?

I was, at no point, didn't feel like the universe would allow Arkansas to win that football. So like they, They spent all their mana by, like, the end of the third quarter. Yeah, you think the CPU just intervened? They were like, no. It really did look like, yeah, they were just out of, like, successful punt catches.

And, like, if I just read you the stat line alone, because I watch this game, but let's compare some numbers, total yardage, 648 for Arkansas, 385 for Oklahoma State, first downs, 33 first downs for an Arkansas offense that frankly could not be stopped by anybody but itself and they did they chose to stop themselves frequently because they had three turnovers including two ghastly fumbles and a couple of like four like a fourth down attempts that went nowhere and to say nothing this was also a very weirdly officiated game and I hate how this wound up because I was I was like okay I can't live with an Arkansas win But what I would really love is to see the official steal this one from Gundy, just for fun.

And we got neither of those. Arkansas was too honorable to let that happen. Thank you, yes, that's the frame. Are you saying they stop the steal? Oh, my God, there it is. That's going to make my Gundy respect them so much more. Gundy's so confused right now. Wait, does that mean Arkansas one?

Shit. They had the courage to do. What it had to be done. He hasn't been this loss since he had that dream about Nancy Pelosi. I bet you, I bet Mike Gundy, you're like, hey, what did you dream about last night? He's like, wolves? Were they doing anything, coach? No, man.

Once again, once again, just wolves, brother. They're just, they're just, you know. What were they doing? They're just being awesome. Smoking? They're just up. Yeah. They're just up there.

No, they were probably smoking. So in case you missed it, here's your thumbnail sketch. Arkansas is unstoppable, comes out, and they're up 21-7 at the half. Do they hold that lead? Fuck, no, they don't hold that lead. They're charitable. They give it away. And all of a sudden, Oklahoma State roars back, 28-21.

But then Arkansas ties it up. So I said he was dreaming about wolves and Danica Patrick. Is Danica Patrick? Like in a sexual weight? Nope. All smoking? No. All smoking.

Very business-like. No, she's also being a wolf. She's just out there chopping wood and being a wolf. 2828, going into the tail end of the fourth. Arkansas scores a bomb of a TD where they could have hit like one of two open receivers down the field for it. Then Arkansas State comes back. There's some clock shenanigans. Don't call Arkansas State.

That's a team with the same problem. No, no, no. I think Spencer, I think that's a lot. It has its own wolf problems. Arkansas. Arkansas morphed into Arkansas State. That's what happened. Oklahoma State kicks a field goal to take the lead.

And then Arkansas, after some clock shenanigans that I'm honestly still not sure if Mike Gundy had a reason to be angry over the clock stopping for that. I think he did because there was a penalty for a false start that was actually a penalty for off sides because the dudes totally lined up in the neutral something. It's a bad, bad week for officiating. Like between this and a couple of other games and missing yard at Notre Dame, everything that happened in the Brasca, Colorado.

Wait, the missing yard at Notre Dame. That sounds like a Hardy Boy's book. What happened? Notre Dame lost. That's what happens. Notre Dame's trapped in the mine shaft. Leave them. Notre Dame was missing several yards to be. I've never seen Lassie shrug before this episode. Rooh! What's she saying? Let him die. Yeah, they, they, there's a penalty.

that should have been called one way that wasn't called correctly. The clock stops. Arkansas gets 59 seconds and we go into OT. And you know who wanted OT? Nobody, because they both missed their field goals in the first OT. Then Oklahoma State scores a TD on the first possession. And then, yeah, they don't do anything. And they lose.

They fucking lose. Did Arkansas end up gaining positive yardage in overtime overall? I think it might have been close. I think it might have been close Might have been close I'm gonna have to take We'll have to go to the stats We'll go to the tape

We'll go to the tape No here we go Possessions for both teams If you want to hear them Okay Negative three yards for Arkansas One yard for Oklahoma State 25 yards

For Oklahoma State And then 18 and Sputter Okay Okay so they did They did get a few Including like This is No

I just, I don't know. Like, I hear what you're saying, but there were so many times with this, like, even on the field goal drive that tied the game, it was like, it was like watching the CPU when it doesn't fully understand the rules. You're like, what do you, you got to snap it? Why are you running the ball here? What's happening? Oh, yeah, don't forget.

I'm sorry, there was like so many, the comments have got us here. Thank you for having our back. There was a, there were like so many dumb penalties that unsportsman liked that extended Oklahoma State's like OT drive to win it and in addition to that there was the dumbest fucking like personal foul I've seen where Alan Bowman did

the daddingest like gun fingers like pow pow pow pow pow pow pow like hey yeah not probably something Texas text mascot did once a quarter once a drive cartoonish like not like the extremely accurate hot chat chat chat shot shot shot gun no no not like LSU's like like Not like Louisiana anything.

No. This is Alan Bowman being like, I got magic pistol fingers. Like they called that and they gave him 15. Just fucking dumb and it wasn't even the worst officiating job. The worst one was Nebraska, Colorado, which was unbearable and those guys should never work a major game again, ever. It's time to talk about Nebraska Colorado.

Speaking of people, okay. Before we do that, Spencer, can you just remind everybody who's sponsoring this week's episode? Oh, yes. He forgot. This week's episode brought to you by PrizePix. He didn't forget. I didn't forget.

we will fix this live show it's gonna it's gonna everything everything's fine spencer what are you what's more number of fingers on one of your hands or number of sacks Nebraska registered against Colorado today? I'm going to say fingers and hands. Nope. It's Nebraska sacks six times. Six? That's an improvement for Colorado. Six sacks of Shadur Sanders.

Ten total tackles for loss. Man, yeah. Boy. I, I think Nebraska knows everything everyone has ever said mean about them and nice about. That's the thing. If you're Nebraska... Hey, Coach Prime is trending. Is that good? Probably. probably that's attention right

Nebraska's had to deal with so many mean things for what 10 years now maybe that's a little far but like pretty damn close to it sure yeah and like Colorado farts out four wins last year and I was like oh my God what it what a

what an incredible return to glory for this same Nebraska's like fuck you we've been winning four games for a long time why don't we get any credit for that It was that, and it's also, like, all this power that Nebraska has built up by absorbing all of the most confounding losses imaginable for especially the last, like, two or three years, just absorbing so much damage, and then they unleashed it all on Colorado. Like, 2810, no, that's bullshit. It was just, like, complete, stood on their head for the entire game. I'm surprised Colorado has any points at all.

It's been obvious for a while now that Colorado's like, the entire roster is basically built like a video game team where it's like got a quarterback who can move around and throw and throw. Got one guy who can run deep and catch. Fuck everything else. And like that works in a video game. And like it doesn't work when you face a competent team. And holy shit folks, Nebraska's competent.

Granted they were competent when they went like two and and ten or three and nine or whatever that was actually pretty decent team but now they i think they'll be competent with a competent record to match i in watching this like i really it's been a creeping suspicion of mine but i think it's now all but proven by the product on the field and everything happening around the colorado football team this is just a scheme to elevate the sanders kids stats and get them drafted before. I don't actually think that's a conspiracy theory. I think that's the most logical explanation. That's the only logical explanation I have is this entire program is built around inflating the Sanders children's stats and getting them drafted and then immediately

ejecting from the program. Father of the year. I actually was thinking about like with Shudur, have they done such a good job of like masking his weaknesses by making it so that you can just blame it all on the offensive line that some NFL GM, whether the top 10 pick is going to go, I can fix him mode. And just like, oh, sure, all the problems were because of all the sacks. So I think it actually is even more perfectly designed to get the Sanders kids drafted a bit. Well, we get him a run game? When we get him a run game, oh, my God, he's just, imagine what he's going to be.

We can't pass on him. Hey, did you know, he's the son of an NFL Hall of Fame. He's got championship jeans. So, yeah, Colorado staff has to play, I think, five. ranked teams um yeah that's right but depending on arizona arizona's kind of goofing around right now it's just like there are there are obviously teams who like come into the season it's like all right we know what all your problems were last year let's see if they're any better this year and sometimes they improve sometimes they trade problems i does colorado look like a lick

different than they did last year no no like that's what especially considering all the like personnel turnover that happens at Colorado, it's like, how did you get dealt the exact same hand? What happened here, guys? You know what? I swear I'm not doing this for effect. Are they worse? Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, it's easy, really easy to say right now because the Nebraska result flipped, but yes, they look worse. I think everybody is forgetting. Was Jeff Sims, the quarterback for the Nebraska game last year? Nebraska does look better. Nebraska looks solid, but I think, you know, look back at last week, Colorado, like, that was not an important. impressive performance last week against North Dakota State.

I think Colorado, you know, the offense is different. They do four wide shit on every single play, and they can't block for that shit. Whereas last year is a lot of, a ton of quick game, which they were built for, right? Yeah. And they had, they had, like, receivers beyond Travis Hunter, who had put some nice numbers together for them. Last year, it felt like watching a team with a lot of weapons. Now it's just, like, the one guy might be open. Yeah.

Yeah. This is not, it's not a, do not entertain them as a serious football team or franchise. Do not consider them to be anything that's building towards anything. This is, um, this is, this is a flip and it's not even a flip of the team. I'm glad we can be done with this now that we've got the housing inspection report. Just be, just getting exhausting. Just be done with it, man. There's no reason.

This wasn't even, honestly, man, this wasn't even like a compelling ass whoopin to watch. It wasn't. You're just like, oh, this is procedural. Disagree. Other teams better than this one. Disagree. I think this was a good day for Hayton. Like, Notre Dame, Auburn, Colorado, and then everyone else who just look like shit.

Yeah, the way Michigan, it's not that Michigan lost. I think if Michigan had, like, lost by 10 to Texas, I would have been like, okay, you know, rebuilding, Texas is good, whatever. But, like, Michigan's just looking fucking factless against Texas. Great for Hayton. Absolutely great for Hayton. Oregon taking the lead against Boise State in the third quarter, not good for Hayden, bad for Hayden. But the fact that they had to,

and they're still only up by seven. Yeah. New Mexico State remaining on top of liberty in accordance with the prophecy. I do appreciate that Jason earlier today, you said you will never be suckered by September Maryland. And it turns out this year, Maryland won't either after giving up 363 yards passing to Michigan State.

and a 27-24 loss. There were a handful of teams who, like, came out of week one that you were like, okay, things look pretty good. Like, I think your... Auburn was definitely one of those teams. Bama seemed to be one of those teams. Granted, they won, whatever.

I did not... I did not think that Maryland was going to immediately spit the bit against Michigan State, but boy, did they ever. Well, we'll always have August, Maryland. I think I actually said, that September thing about Syracuse. Oh, did you? September Syracuse.

I apologize. I apologize. I'll take full credit for all of these. Cal McCord having no problems, by the way. It was 3114 when I said that, because I could just see it. Okay, Syracuse is 5 and O and whatever. That happens all the time. Yeah. Mind you. And then Tech almost won.

Yeah. Dude, Kyle McCore was through, Cal McCore threw for 14 T's today and 381 yards. But how many, how many points in Syracuse? score. 31. Like the whole thing is built out of Kyle McCord at this point. That's not necessarily a great plan.

It's the best plan they've had in a while, but... I just saw a general contractor looking at his clipboard going, oh, this whole thing's made of Kyle McCord. I don't know. Can I try and experiment with the chat here? I didn't watch a snap of South Carolina, Kentucky. And I would like the chat to tell me, what the fuck happened here?

What is happening? here the chat the first comments is less less okay does everybody just saying less less less that is the Kentucky summary

bad bad reverse less less more than less it says less South Carolina Kings of less the cock commander

has logged on poops less oh much less They're hosting game day next week off the strength of this victory. There's like a few. There's a few. LSU, South Carolina is. Jesus, wept.

You want to go? South Carolina bullied them, pushed them around, whatever. South Carolina decided that defense is good, but it's mostly just less. The answer is just less. Dude, can I tell you when I knew that they might be in trouble? Sure. Is at the very beginning when I saw that South Carolina had a returner named Juju. Oh, okay.

I was like, we might have to reconsider this. Oh, that reminds you. Yeah, sorry, go ahead. Go ahead. No, no, no. I got to get to this, okay? Because you need to know that Dylan Stewart is for real. You need to know that Kyle Kinnard is for real.

That defensive line is me. The defense is as active, malicious, and can make an impact on a game. And I am about to read you the stat line that indicates that when you make an impact on a game and you're playing Kentucky, the person who ends up at the. bottom of the asteroid crater is Brock Vandigriff because this is his line Brock Vandigriff went three for ten still I know what you're asking yes still

three for ten for 30 yards and an INT his QBR his QBR is it more here we'll keep playing this game sponsored by prize fix is his QBR more

or less than two it's less it's one one point two you don't get you don't get to go less on that very often good job chat promo code full cast dark 1.2 that is dark they beat his ass and that was with kentucky by the way he didn't even have that many opportunities to stake today because kentucky ran the ball 46 times and passed it 17 they knew what was up and it didn't matter you're QBR should not look like Ben Wallace's points per game in the last season of his career. Yeah, I shouldn't hear your QBR and go, whoa, your dad's a scratch golfer. That's incredible.

I mean, like, I feel like we can say a little bit more of this now that people may be getting compensated a bit more fairly. That's ass, Brock Vandergriff. That's ass. That's bad. And I don't think you had much of a, I don't think you had much of a choice in the matter because you had no protection. and your tackles your tackles were on the ground at the snap as soon as you make six figures i can say you suck i know i should be like that was ass today let's limit it to this got it set equal today performance if bro you were ass on the full cast to be like bro you were ass on that show yeah you know what absolutely

right if there were a kvr for podcasting who god tried for 1.2 i've been there brother 1.2s across the board i'm terrific speak for y'all yeah 42-16. I think, and when I say things like this, I mean it. I think this is the most deceptive score I have ever seen. I'm so angry about this score. Like, USF should get credit here against Alabama. They went to Nick Sabin Field, the newly christened as of today, Nick Sabin Field, and yet again fought Bama to an even standstill. The yardage differential is only 90. Hey, Jason, what was the score at the start of the fourth quarter of this game? Why it was, I'm looking at the box room, tabbing over to that.

It was 14.13 until 10 minutes remained. And then the score looks super deceptive because USF was doing stuff like, you know, going forward on every fourth down in the whole fourth quarter, and Bama was getting really great field position, you know, that type of stuff. So Bama was able to just tack on a whole bunch of touchdowns at the very end. I think the canonical score of this game is 2816. That was before the two touchdowns at the end after USF was just like, USF did the honorable thing where they were like,

fuck it, we don't care about the final score. We're not doing like a punting to make the final score look good. USF was going for it, and it made the score look worse. And the Bama wasn't being Sabin to the White Shores did the Lord of the Rings return of the king ending. 2816 is the canonical score of this game. Hateful. Also, man, like this looks bad. Y'all Alex Golish is putting something really.

really interesting together down there yeah they are not to be ignored they do also like like a defense that i until the talent differential kicked in and usf just kind of like went great guns and was like we don't care about the score as you said uh Todd Todd Orlando the immaculately named defensive coordinator did a Todd WittSec Orlando yeah Todd Orlando Steve Jacksonville and Fred Tampa my favorite trio of WittSec people um yeah they were that's a really interesting team and they were really really good for most of this game um a score that is not deceptive in any way clemson 66 abstate 20 in the first let me count them out nine 12 uh 15 i think yeah this looks right i think in the in the first like

game, Clemson scored the five touchdowns and put 35 points on the board. They led 35 zero after the first quarter. Like, it was so out of hand so early. That's not godly. I sincerely thought there was a score malfunction going on. They put 66 points on App State without scoring in the fourth quarter and only scoring 10 points in the second half as a whole. Like, obviously there's a lot a season left but god damn they worked out some feelings on the mountaineers in a very serious way and i'm and i'm sure it's all fixed and clemson has nothing to worry about for the it's all fine it's all fine you know who's also fine like i said pit two and oh pit beat since man it everything's fine it it does not matter that at one point in this game and by one

point, I mean, in the third quarter, Cincinnati led 27 to 6 and somehow then immediately gave up 22 unanswered points to Pitt. Not important, not relevant whatsoever. Pit remains... I knew something magical was going to happen in this game because I saw Alex Christian and go, really, there's no reason to not find a buyout right now for Patner-Ruzy. They should just start working to buy him out immediately. And I was like, come back coming. Come back coming. Because I love you Alex The minute Alex Kershal walks in and goes This coach is dead

I'm like Don't put him in the morgue just yet We got a warm one here I like that Okay listen Alex has to deal with the pirates right now He's got a lot going on He does have a lot going on I like Pat Narduzzi has become like

The eBay fraudster of coaches Who's like PS5 And just sends you like a box full of cereal That's it And it's like too bad Got the money eat shit You get nothing one way account is a bad review starting a new one another coach still alive and now freed of the genie's curse because his team scored 20 points in iowa city

that's right matt campbell in el asico with a dramatic 2019 win for his second win in three years against the iowa hawkeyes two of them happening by the way Don't memory hold that. They have beat them in Iowa City twice in a row now. Can I say something very specific about this game? And I swear it might come out harsh, but I think it's more of an intellectual curiosity. This was both at the same time a very entertaining game to watch. I think this is my favorite El Pasico I've ever seen. And also at times an argument that we don't make enough jokes about Elasico.

Yeah. Does that make sense? Yeah, I think for a long portion of it, it was looking like every El Asico. The score was 7-0 for what felt like a great deal of time. And then the second half came to life. Yeah, Caleb, like, Iowa lost this game, but not through any lack of effort by Caleb Johnson,

who was incredible, at 187 yards on 25 carries and two TDs. Cade McNamara, man, I don't know. I don't know how long Cape McNamara is for that job, because he was like while we're reading fun so gary had to watch all of that gary had to watch kade macnamara go 13 for 29 with two i and t's no t ds and an average of three point four yards per completion i mean look it is it is very funny that kirk ferens gets suspended for one week i was like 40 rip off 40 points turns right back around he's like sub 20 we do it my way you play at my speed i got 19 for you yeah

Not my tempo. It came out to 50 cent many men. Wait, you think Harbaugh's gone, now you're the public enemy number one? Settle down. Listen. I know that wasn't his call. He's never, he hasn't heard of any music since 1960 or ever. Best blackjack dealer in the world because Kirk Farrant is never going over 21, baby.

It's just, just every time. It did feel like there were a lot of games that sort of like adopted El Asico. Like, Duke Northwestern Friday night, extremely Elasico game, aggressively Alasko. In the most El Asico setting in all of college football. Yes, yes. On the fucking rickety pirate ship that is Northwestern's absolutely perfect stadium. With that a fucking rabbit got on two in the middle of both teams fucking up on special teams and throwing away

turnovers. Oh, my God. It was such a disaster. Today was enjoyable. Hey, listen, if you're listening to EA, college football people, put the rabbit in the game. Put the rabbit in the game. Put the rabbit in the Texas Tech's fox and put the Texas Tech's bats

and just all the creatures that you can find at Texas Tech. Yeah. Have we pointed out what Penn State did today? No. No, Jason. We haven't. They were in some real fucking peril against Scott Leffler's Bowling Green Falcons For the entire game Did anybody else check to see who was coaching at Bowling Green

And was frightened to discover it's still him Yeah I assume the whole coaching staff Is still full of like remember that guys But yeah this was like This score is not deceptive It could have gone either way You don't just invite Scott Leffler into your house Yeah

The number of times that Penn State Was straight up trailing mm-hmm yeah this numerous and this follows like six days of like wow they finally fix their you know their their biggest weakness and and so forth and how bad is west virginia don't worry about it and it was happening at the same time as texas michigan so there was a time where michigan was like well maybe everyone will be and then notre dame out came along and like stepped in that void for them but so you know what you know what happened to rally them the wolfman showed up Yeah, you're damn right.

I forgot which was which. I'm glad you remembered. Which one? Oh, we forgot. Smuggled. Smuggles and Brian Kelly. So Smuckles had the biggest loss of days ago, and we didn't mention that. Smuggles.

Yeah. Raspberry jam. Rosemary. The Wolfman showed up, and they were like, oh, we got to win this for the Wolfman. Boy, this day just tied it up. Was it Ashton G. Was it Ashton of Genet?

Probably. Yes. It was an Ashton G. 70 yards! God damn. They're going to have to rest this dude like five days between days. He runs like a fucking truck.

He runs so angry and he can block and everything. He's my favorite player. I like that. I love that Oregon got a nice punt return and they're like, hey, every play is a punt return when you've got Ashton Ginty. There you go. 70 yards.

That's the way to live. Another game that I wanted to mention before it heads to. Wait, wait, wait. There's a news story that we wanted to read. Yes. That we didn't get to read earlier. Okay. Oh, yeah, because we did have, we had a couple of good fights today.

We had a couple good fights today. Yeah. The second fight was in the stands at Tennessee, NC State, where a North Carolina State fan had their shirt ripped off and thrown through the crowd beach ball style down onto the field. Yeah, below us, like to our right below us in the press box. It was good. I saw two Tennessee fans catch the nastiest punches. Oh, he was, listen, he was giving it out hard.

Usually, yeah, usually you see in stand fights, like fights in the stands, it's usually people who are intoxicated and really not making great contact. Not here. No, buddy. The eagle landed twice. Like full on fist, head whipping back.

Old guy caught it. Young guy caught it. Cop showed up probably to protect those guys from this one NC State fan fueled by the rage of a 40 point loss in numerous lightbears. We didn't even talk about that. yeah but that uh that followed uh that followed friday's news that we didn't have a chance to talk

about yet i'm just going to drop this link in the chat for y'all to peruse at your leisure but it's an arkansas time story headlined nose ring insult launches fist fight at saline county republicans meeting and i just want y'all to look at the photos and look at the first sentence which starts with the phrase conservative gadfly and weightlifting aficionado. What a Dungeons and Dragons character that is, isn't it? Anyway, we don't have to go through that whole thing. I just wanted to make sure it'll be stale by Tuesday, and I just wanted to drop that in tonight. Thank you.

A little treat. A little treat for everybody. Not that that would stop us on a Tuesday, but I appreciate it. Not that it would. Let me tell you about, listen, I'm going to drop the YouTube link in if you just want to get to it. 17 seconds in you're about to see an upset that defies physics odds making everything you want to any science you want to apply to this

that's a big tree and it goes all the way down to the crowd yes plus 12 strength for that gentleman that's good so yeah I saw a couple like you know what I saw NC State put up a good fight today wasn't on the field but kudos to that man I hope he doesn't spend too long in jail he literally had to punch up like he was punching up at a 45

degree angle uh-huh above his own head i saw listen i saw someone's accountant take a shot in the face in this fight like some they're like hey do you know that dale went to the game and charlotte and somebody punched him hard another hey listen bret belema speaking of people who've been punch in the face in public, most likely. Just some casual slander there. I didn't say that. I'm just saying it. What's wrong with getting punched?

I didn't say he hit me, buddy. He didn't say that he deserved it. Yeah, yeah. I just said, listen, that man. He looks like he could take some contact. Somebody at this point has looked at him and going, you're a big guy. I'm a big guy. It'd be a good fight.

Let's go. Yeah, he's got a. a real Mike Tyson's punchout quality to him. Yeah. Yeah, he's like stereotypical Midwest man. Right. Yeah. Yeah, you're fighting Brought Works Beast.

You're fighting the Menards Mahler. Brett Bilema. You're fighting the oh, it's only six hours away. We'll just drive. Guy. It's hot plate Pete. Look out. Oh, geez. Sorry about that.

So, Illinois, Illinois, ever coming into this, by the way, all of your like B-tier previews going through, they're like, oh, well, Kansas is just going to wipe the floor with Illinois. O'Contraire! Put some respect to Luke Altmire's name because they ended up winning. 2317. Storm in the field after beating Kansas. Never thought I'd see the day.

Can we pause briefly to discuss Blood Week? And what this was or was not? apparently we're going to need to because it's fine it's fine it's fine to review uh things each each year i think i think the calls for blood week compared to other calls were not necessarily entirely overstated especially when you had some results that were like that felt closer this happens many times where it was like like if south florida had beaten alabama you could have coddled them right then i would i think if no i mean i I think it's fine to review things once a year.

It's fine. Sure. It would have taken multiple results. Like, I will say if USF had beaten Bama, it would still be a no. We would be waiting right now to see if Boise State can get it done against Oregon. At that point, we would have three top ten upsets. I was going to say, what if Bowling Green had beaten Penn State and the USF had beaten Bama? At that point, I think that would push it across.

Yeah. Okay, okay. Yeah, but three top ten upsets is like, I don't remember any week in the history of college football, unless it's like, you know, a significant number one losing and a few other things happen that I'd count as a Blood Week if it doesn't have three top 10 upsets. Right. And there wasn't enough edge meat, which is a horrible thing that I just said. What does that mean, Ryan?

Why? Well, like, if Nichols had beaten LSUs. Oh, so you're talking about like teams and the teams? Yes, yes. And like, and who they could have lost to. Edge meat, that's now belongs to us. and the FDA can't ask any questions about what edge meat is and is not. Ted Cruz is edge meat.

But like Syracuse beating Georgia Tech is not a relevant outcome for this. Not the Georgia Tech sex or anything. And like Iowa State beating Iowa is like, yeah, sure. It's like, well, this spread like one. Is this a good time to announce that Dylan Gabriel just fumbled again? All right. Here we go. Yeah.

No, and this will not be a bloodline. But still, I think it's like, Boise State might be on the verge of their first title shot. like after after all those years of them being screwed by and then looking like they missed the window completely yeah and looking like looking like oh they'll never actually get their shot they might make the playoff and like you know if they beat organ tonight they're in awesome shape to do yeah that's cool also Washington state is fucking thumping Texas Tech 3410 and I think that's great I I believe Oregon State Oregon State's beating San Diego State as well nobody is going to pay attention to was in Oregon State unless they get to like 10 and oh and that because they're just like totally forgotten lost in the wilderness that is the pack to at this point I hope they fucking win every game and force the playoff committee into some deeply uncomfortable conversations I really hope that they do can we get like the winner of that game gets like the whatever constellation big 10 team makes the playoff okay fine sure um and like that is or that

as a first round game. Fucking forgot we have Apple Cup next week. Hate this. Yeah. I mean it so much. What a stupid time for that. Just dumb. But before we hop off the Blood Week subject entirely, as a reminder, there is a Twitter

account and a Blue Sky account new last year, which didn't have to use it. Fuck threads. For is this Blood Week. I'm going to make one on threads. The forecast isn't even on threads. No, no, God, no. We don't need to suffer like that. So if you're ever in doubt, just go over there.

Hey, if you're on threads and you want an offensive blood week, at Kara Swisher. See what she says. At Kara Swisher. But yeah, if you tweet me, you know. Kara Swisher's like, what's blood? I'll just probably won't answer. That's a people. Oh, the things that power the machines.

Right, right, right, right, right. Gene T scored again? Our boy scored again. Yeah, no, he just scored again. by the way Dylan Gabriel fumbled at his own 21 and which means Oregon State had to go in the other direction

well Ashta Gt's a nightmare Oh no I'm sorry He can't be stopped Sorry that only had to go 22 yards And it took two minutes Wow boys you stay way to slow it down That is

That is amazing I am absolutely flummoxed by a couple of things. Thank you, Coala Brain Wolverine. Sorry for interrupting for adding Ashton Jinko's to the lexicon. Yeah. By the way, when like, I really am glad we put edge meat into this world. I know.

I'm not. When we hear this on game day and another five weeks, you know. The kids are calling it edge meat. Yeah, when like, when Ice tea says it on. I love edging. A week like this needs some edge meat. and Saban's like, what's Edge Meat? No, no, no, Sabin knows.

Yeah. Well, it's highly critical. Listen, if any... Salé Gibbons, Edgmate, ruined my whole appetite for a week. West Virginia, we call that Scrapet. Jennifer, nobody wants to hear Pat McAfee talking about anything, but that train has sailed. People love Pat McAfee. Did John?

Hey, did John? boys text any i know we already talked to them did job boys text any of you guys about army's fucking fake field goal against florida atlantic when they were already up to yeah do you want yeah do you want to talk about it i mean they ran the option i don't i don't think it could be underestimated how much like at least in my life john is not a college football guy so when he's texting me being like what the fuck is why are you running a fake field goal on fourth and 12 while you're up 10 in the fourth quarter on the road and then I saw it was army I was like army did this damn what the hell's going on they just wanted to run the option one more yeah

florid Atlantic just got fucking stomped too they did but it's just a speed option too like their fake was the holder got up and what speed what speed it was yeah look at the holder scoot yeah about 11 miles per hour if I had to guess maybe 10 yeah um it was was not very fast. I want to go back to when I knew it was fall. I want to go back like when I locked in. You go like like I really love this phrase by the way because my elder son has taken this running gag of any time we're discussing anything important or historical. He's like, hey man, you know, you know what, what you know what they should have done at this important battle, right? You know what Napoleon should have done at Waterloo. And I'm like, what? And he goes, Napoleon should have

locked in. That's a fine assistant coach you're raising their coach. Right. Motivate. Yeah. It wouldn't have happened if they'd locked in, right? More. You got to eliminate outside distractions. That's right.

You know? I think if I was Napoleon, I would have just dialed something up. Thank you for Monte Carlo. Napoleon not on that grind set. All those people in the final destination movies, they weren't locked in. If they'd locked in. That's right. I saw the most rifted desk design.

truck on the way up here to Charlotte you know those lumber trucks that that drive entire trees in the back of them in big stacks this was that but it was pulling not as this was not a tandem 18 wheeler this was a lumber truck pulling a trailer also full of full trees that was literally not made to hold full trees mm-hmm oh yeah when when I knew that I had indeed locked in for the 24th season was on Friday night when I am trying to go to sleep but the BYU SMU game is on it's absolute ass everyone's playing poorly nothing but field goals and shit offense and the commercial comes on the break comes on and it switches to a survivalist food bucket that you can buy and a portable solar generator of dubious provenance and utility and I was like I'm in I'm in baby that's it

Let's start. What's the game? It ended. I went to sleep and I was like, ah, it's going to end 1815. I don't need to see this shit. It ended 1815. BYU undefeated. Congratulations on that. And I hope that you go to Fort Patriots.com to buy your bucket of apocalypse slop. I think that's where Auburn got Peyton Thorne. Hey, you know what? I got a little Auburn fact I want to share with you too. Just a little something. Just because I love talking about you. I want to make it very clear. I derive no deep joy from Auburn. losing, all right? No deep joy from them winning either. I observe them as the spider would the fly. They're just there. I hope the best for everyone who's a friend of mine. Is that how spiders observe flies? Yeah, I hope the best for them. And I want

them and I just, yeah, it's fine. I'm supposed to look for the spider. But, you know, like, I want, I want my friends who are Auburn fans to be happy, but when Hugh Freeze loses, flowers bloom, I smile, everything looks a little more rosy it. And that's what I'm

here to say is this, that from Nathan King 247 just just you know just documenting things just writing down facts Auburn's now 3 and 7 in its last 10 home games against power 4 teams they're 6 and 14 against power 4 teams overall since the 2022 season so wait wait and they lost to new Mexico state I was going to say you're saying these sets don't include losing to New Mexico State okay cool that happened too did you want to include that I'd like to mention that hey Auburn also lost a New Mexico state how many times has Hugh Freeze lost to that to that team now

so he's lost to them three times twice but there's a third I mean if you count the if you count the liberty loss today Diego Pavia formerly of New Mexico State still on the schedule down there at Vanderbilt Vanderbilt where they ran out of... Ryan something special happened

at Vanderbilt today didn't it? 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 as talking shit about that team I believe I think they're on the road next week oh that's how they did that tricky

tricky tricky they're going to they're going to Georgia State so 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 Bama. Vandy's going to drop 55 on Bama and have fireworks for every bit of it. Ahoy. We don't do enough good sailor jokes about Vandy. Vandy doesn't do enough good sailor shit. They don't ever win enough to have like a... How are you retrofitting the stadium

and not making it look like a stupid put-put boat because like when they lose our jokes are all about like oh you dorky business nerds when they win they're like they're they're they're cool sailors who are going to get finally get russell crow to make more sailor movies but they don't ever win yeah they're going to play the cello at each other in the dark like friends do yeah i feel like the midpoint of this is white squall somehow oh my god why don't they make vandy's stadium look like horrible Florida theme restaurant that takes good seafood and ruins by throwing it into a deep

fire with old oil. That's what they should do. It should have the fake rigging. It should have the nets. It should have the plastic crabs. It should smell fucking terrible. It should feel terrible. You should be able to buy a yard of beer. Right. You should walk up and it should have a name something

like, you know, it should have something like Commander Scabby's oyster hovel. Oyster Yeah, I think they should call it Tennessee's only, Tennessee's only football stadium on the water. Yeah. Mm, that's good. That's good even though it's.

See, see how good that is? You should be able to get. Build a shitty moat outside of it. Right. You should be able to get some tough-ass clam strips delivered to your seat for the, like, mirror price, the reasonable price of 2499. 10-roof-clam strips. 10-roof-clam strips. No, wait, 10-roof-2.

We'll turn 10-roof-2 into the equest. Quotiton. You're welcome to Vandy. Here be $18 hard tech. Get Morgan Wallins. Yeah, I can say it. Gruper Nuggets delivered to your seat. For $34.99.

I think if it's Morgan Waller, they're Groyper Nuggets. Gohber. Gollyper. Golly. No. Oh, boy. Get the, get the man's laws. Do not apply to me, Margarita.

Nobody's listening to this. It's straight to your seat like a middle Tennessee and wood while complaining about taxes for the low price of $54.99 to watch Diego Pavia absolutely lower the boom on Bama live from the seafood shack. And Vanderbilt scores a touchdown, and here come the chairs raining down on the police. That's what Vanderbilt should do. It's not what they're going to do. It's not what they should do. That's all right. Vanderbilt Stadium has a health rating of 72.

No, it would be not complete. 55. The same as the number of points. They will drop on Bama. That's right. God, yep, I guess that has been what they've said now. I am very worried for them. Yeah, we saw.

We heard. Okay. Well, if they say so. Ooh, they have crab giblets here. We should have all. The crabs have giblets? They do. It's here on the menu.

Folks, each week at around 1 a.m. Eastern, Spencer comes up with the most disgusting thing you've ever heard. That's the tradition. Oh, get cramped to you, Blinth. Oh, we're going to do. Y'all voices got us into trouble earlier this week. It's like he briefly summons his own personal event horizon and just let it spill forth from his mouth for the benefit of the benefits of the things.

Things you wouldn't believe. We'll get up. Yes, let it spill forth from his. I don't know if taking a pedal. I don't know if taking a pedal tavern was a good idea. Where we're going, you won't need mouths to eat. I really, I really, I really want to thank you for taking edge meat off the way and throwing crab jimlets on top of the first ed meat and then crab jiblets.

Edge meat walked so that crab jiblets could scuttle. I don't think that was a good idea, Kaylee. I'm not going to make it. I'm not feeling so good right now. I got the rumbly tums. I like that you think I'm making fun of these people. I'm like, I'm just quoting relatives of mine. Yeah, because you'd never make fun of your relatives.

Commenters weighing in with more. Upsetting. Oh, okay. That'll do it, folks. Spencer, once again, who was this awful experience presented by? Was sponsored by our sponsor, prize picks. That's right. Prize picks.

Did you see what we just did? Thanks for bringing them. Yeah, by the way, look, yes, more, more, by the way. Do you guys want to wrap up with you think? Because I want to remind everybody. There are no other games that I can think of. Hugh Freeze lost today, and he lost really badly. To liberals.

He lost real bad to liberals. The Antifa! The Antifa did it. So he ends up the fluffy muffin.
