All right, listen, Nathan Sager on Blue Sky is going to have to step it up because he just added me with On Veterans Remembrance Day, Florida gave a history lesson by playing poor defense in France. I had a lady Mazoo fan in my mentions today on fucking Blue Sky. We're not doing it over there. Yeah, who's talking shit on Blue Sky? A girl! You got a really, you got a really, really. want to talk shit to try and start shit on blue sky and i got to tell you you better book a brow

threading before you try that at me again because i'm going to grab you by them and i'm gonna be able to it's just very much not the vibe over there well nanny is uh nanny is under the weather tonight he is once again i hate that we have to keep saying this not dead not dead do not do not pour blood in your right is actually online and tweeting right now you can see this but he is he is ill and has lost his voice. You know what we should have done? We should have said I was sick and I could have played Ryan all night.

No one would know. So because Ryan is not here with us, yes, we have divvied up the Michigan post-game duties. I will be bleeding from the forehead during our, during our, Ryan, we love you so fucking much moment. Shit, am I crying? Was I supposed to cry?

I'm supposed to cry. Spencer was assigned the crying. Holly, I think, so there was, like, praying going on as well. I can do that. Okay, so we need all of these things to have. Mind you, one guy did all this stuff for Michigan in the immediate aftermath. Oh, no, wait. A different guy was bleeding.

So we're turning a two-person job into three, but still. Oh, wait, can I swear? What about swearing? Well, I think we kind of all have to cuss. There was a lot of cussing. Okay. So we'll have to divvy that load. Ryan, Ryan, I'm bleeding.

We fucking love you. We love you, man. I'm even going to tell that we'll get to this, but there is one thing about the interview that's my favorite thing. Father God, I want us to just lift all of our, I just want us to all lift our brother Ryan up in prayer tonight. Place him on your softest loaf of Zingerman's finest. Drizzle him with oil and vinegar and then just bathe him under the heating heat lamps

of your love. We do have an actual pastor in here. Hello, John Pyle. If we want to actually get let in prayer. Man, we talked about the proper panda belly that Mike Elko's got. Did he have that when he started?

He did not look at this North Carolinian. Nope. He moved to North Carolina and he just went, boom. Oh shit. Yeah, everybody who's still holding Ryan up, put him down, please. It's like the Santa Claus once you become

North Carolinian's just belly, lip in hat on at all times i just saw somebody call zingerman's fine i've never been i can't relate but can i take this moment to chill for channel six for a very good reason um if you are in the ten dollars a month or a hundred dollar a year tier on channel six you get to have a saturday morning a hour long pregame chat from eleven to noon eastern with me and spencer and usually it is the dogs interrupting the show many many many times while we take questions about the games ahead. Today, it continued a fight that began in my mentions at 2 a.m.

Because Anya and I, long-time EDSBS, or Añe and I, were kind of just having a little reverie on Twitter about what Jim Harbaugh might get up on a Saturday morning. And, of course, the farmer's market came up, and we thought about him, you know, just aggressively touching every pair, as Anier says, I picture him just like getting up in the face of some squash and asking it if it wants it enough. And then someone, another long time, EDSPS or Eram, dropped it and says, Ann Arbor has a world-class farmer's market. And I was like, well, of course they do.

And I believe this without question. At two in the morning, I got a text from a third party who called the Ann Arbor Farmers Market Mid. And we let them all on the show today to hash it out amongst themselves. this morning so if you have never signed up for Channel 6 I please encourage you

to just listen throw down $10, it's worth it by itself and listen to the recording of the about 30 minute fight we had over the Ann Arbor Farmers Market this morning was great that sounds like a solid investment a sound investment

and you'll get free screenplays with the membership of course free screenplays of the Connor Stallion's biopic. You'd be a fool not to get in on this deal right now, folks. That's right. All we do is produce the finest fiction and fictional content of any sports concern on the planet. Should I do the thing? Should I say the thing? Yeah, let's begin the podcast. Full cast after dark for men Welcome

to the full cast after dark That was pretty good That's the howl of a wolf in the mountains celebrating the mountain cold refreshment of course light made to chill just did something that made them happy i don't love that i know i know but yes that is all we do all we do here is discuss everything that happened in the week 11 um i wanted to just start by saying that i fucking love all of you i don't care if i'm on national tv i don't care i just i love i love jim harbaw so much jim harbaw you're with us buddy you know back in that hotel where you're

eating some snacks hey i just just want to say i'm uh my my forehead's falling off i got the john moxley stigmata and that's how much i love jim harbaw and ryan nanny uh and and and i fuck i forgot to cuss sorry sharon god we just we just want you to know that we fucking love ryan so much we love a poppy dad i'm a papa daddy god father god we just we just father god we just and your name and your name i'm cussing during this post game interview yes lord sky fucking daddy we love you too i'm gonna let it out first of all praise god second fuck in that order my youth pastor said to make sure we do it in that order that man did that that man really did that he was like first of all i want to praise god second of all

I'm not going to love his deal much. What an awesome sport, man. That guy was like, and not to minimize it, excellent assistant coach and soon-to-be head coached at some point someday. This man was in this position because of his constantly suspended boss being constantly suspended for shit. That's not actually his fault. what an incredible sport just so so much contained in that 10 seconds after Michigan defeated Penn State a marvelous exchange between the sideline reporter who if you know who that is by the way I would like to credit them for being the portal for this the avenue of opportunity for this

amazing Sharon Moore postgame speech which I love by the way that there is no discourse that we cannot start and ruin immediately within five seconds of something happening just rushing the field after beating dude yeah speaking of discourses that we can start and immediately ruin rush the field whenever you want it's fine matt kind of went in for the double clutch and elko got away and then mac immediately turned to hug a second duke coach he's going to drain them all like capri sons in a row or elko told that assistant coach was like you got to take this i can't spare any energy so you expect one of us in the wreckage brother that's right if you're on the playing surface after defeating Duke. What I need you to do is slap the turf. Yep, slap the turf. That's, this is the only,

the only thing you can do. Yeah, Coach, Coach Kay should come out and be like, I wouldn't have done things differently, Mike, but, you know, champions all have a different path to victory. That was a point. I would have done the thing. That's a pretty good, Coach Kay. I'm a, I'm a tiny, I'm the tiniest troop. Uh, I do. Well, one more thing about that, Sherell Moore thing, and Dragonfly Jones pointed this out. I didn't notice. He told the interviewer that he loved her. that's how I love what happens. Overflowing with love for the universe right now. It's like when you call your teacher mom but you're on television.

Yeah. Have you ever been like hanging up with like a service rep and you're like, okay, love you? Yeah, I've absolutely done that. Yeah. I'm so fucking hopped up on Michigan football. I'm a pantheist right now. That man in Michigan's victory over Penn State today was so relieved because he did get the

shittiest gig which was yeah by the way i can't coach you got to go ahead and do it uh don't fuck it up and his answer to not fucking it up was i'm going to call 30 street runs this this button this button works i'm a hammer this button you think you want to take a chance with uh j jay mccarthy nope nope strong punch strong punch strong punch strong punch strong punch round house round house right yeah hey man this is your your your your one shot at a little interim coaching gig in between you want to show off a little bit what's you going to do in this big game on the road i'm going to run the ball 30 fucking times um that's not is that a joke that sounds like a joke no 32 i'm sorry 32 fucking times there was one throw in

between but it went for a pass interference jane coastin this was the ultimate in jane ghost in game plans. I'm going to look up significance. Y'all keep talking. I'm going to look up the significance of the number 32. In numerology, it symbolizes progress and enlightenment.

Listen, you've been in this position in a job before where you come in and you go, well, the person before seemed to know what they were doing, I'm not going to change anything. We all know, of course, that atomically 32 is germanium on the pure out table with an atomic

mass of 72.59. I think the street fighter corollary for this offense is E. Honda's hundred-hand slap. That was Michigan's offense today. Not going anywhere. Not going to goddamn anywhere. But it's going to suck so bad to stand in front of it. That eventually you're just going to let go, please take a 25-yard run. Please take another one.

Oh, God. And you know who else wasn't going anywhere? Penn State. That's right. So if you did see after the game. after another lackluster offensive performance indicating no real desire or ability to win that game or do we even attempt to move the ball on Michigan's defense which did wobble a little bit early there were there were cracks there I feel like you can move the ball in this defense if you're a very good

football team the problem with Penn State is that they'd have to be a very good football team which they're not they they had moments of being able to move the ball and it was just excruciating exhausting to watch it would be shit like it's fourth down uh fuck uh call a time out oh god uh maybe punt i don't know no another time out uh all right now the weirdest fake in the world throw the ball across the planet and we got two yards first down this is this is an easy this is an easy swipe to make but if you had not told me which team was without a coach yeah like I'm not really joking no like it's it would have gone better especially like I love that much like certain Ballyhooot billionaire CEOs if everything's going fine

James Franklin sometimes just has to show up like some sort of horrifying phantom right that you go we're in the last two minutes of the half and it's like whoa here he is oh god oh fuck we spoke his name. Here comes Mr. Game Management. He's like, go for two. We're never scoring again. Go for two. Chase points in the first half. I saw a lot of Miami and Penn State fans saying, hang on, Michigan gets to keep their head coach on every day except game day? How do we get this deal? Bo Nix 184 yards already. That game started like nine seconds ago. Yeah, Bo's going to have a good night because he's playing USC. Not as good at night as some quarterback said. Jayden Daniels who was amazing tonight who was absolutely insane incredible even if you go

oh it's a bad defense okay cut his numbers in half he still had an incredible night if you cut his numbers in half I don't even know who he played all I know is uh I know what Solomon would recommend all I know is uh Jaden Daniels had what was the total 600 and what was it many many all all all all any earned every single single one of them earned every single one of them he was spectacular i cannot think by the way on a personal growth curve of a player who has come farther from what they were in their first couple of appearances because the first time i watched jaden daniels he was playing for herm edwards and um would just kind of drift sideways until something looked open downfield and then throw the ball real

hard and now apparently he's a god he's a god so all you need to do in order to become a world beating stat monster at quarterback is to first do the opposite of every other quarterback who's done this and go from the Pac-12 or the former Pac-12 to the SEC and lose Herm Edwards as your coach. Herm Edwards was the governor on his greatness. That's a good move. 616 yards. And I believe the stat was first FBS player to ever go over 350 passing and 200 rushing in the same game. I don't give a fuck who you're playing.

No, that's awesome. First FBS player ever to do something. Yes, count it. Yes, LSU Iowa Citrus Bowl as frames Janklin in the chat calls for. That is still the game that we are spotlighting and circling on our calendar. Yeah. Oh, one more thing, by the way. Did you all see James Franklin getting booed in the luxury suites that go along the tunnel?

No. Yeah. He got booze from those people, the ones who pay like 10 grand a season to have, like a cinder block bunker next to the Penn State locker room. There was a while. There was a point in the, I think, it might have been in the first quarter is definitely in the first half. Penn State's offense is getting booed for some of its decisions,

which was a lot of running up the middle. It wasn't doing anything, but they stuck with it. And there was a drive where they were getting booed, and they scored a touchdown. Like their first, like, actually, they're only, like, actually hopeful touchdown of the game. They later got another one that didn't really matter much. their best drive of the game involved booze that is how fraught things are right now yeah um his record

against teams uh that are ap top five teams i think fell to something like two and 12 lifetime you could say any number there any no i believe any of them like there is no one who will give you less hope in a big game like no one statistically i'm not making that up no guy with more experience and less reason to believe in any of it than James Franklin in a big game. I just, I, I, for the sake of Penn State fans, I am very much looking forward to the realignment situation when, uh, they only have to do one of these per year, not two of these per year. Mm-hmm.

So, things will be less bad, probably. Probably. How's that? It'll be a different kind of underwhelming. I think it'll be slightly less underwhelming. usually yeah yeah also this is like i understand this is like michigan's first real win but like watching charles woods and post game go completely frothing mad uh on national television over it you're like okay come come on come on you guys knew you were going to win this game

yeah i mean it felt like we were doing a big dumb charade with michigan this whole season where we had to pretend like, oh, I don't know if they're actually good. They're winning every game by 87,000 points. They're good. You know, like, we're still doing the so-and-so hasn't played anybody thing, and it's like... Is this similar to the... I think we can extrapolate Michigan's results from the first two months. And, you know, today was a bit of proof that, like, ah, yes, that those numbers were real. Jason, I mean, that's like, Georgia hasn't played anybody. Like, old miss really isn't that good and you go they beat their ass but 35 tonight yeah i mean georgia's pretty similar except the thing with georgia is they hadn't been playing like

michigan and today they did though so yeah if we want to say uh georgia and michigan both moved into the definitely deserving of number one consideration pile sure great but i mean you know michigan is already there i would like to point out also today that Texas nearly let one go by. They sure did. Yeah, they let TCU, a 4 and 6 TCU team at this point,

creep back into the game late with a 20.4th quarter and did my favorite thing in order to convert a crucial, I believe, third and 11 late in this game to ice it with about three minutes on the clock. And that would be to throw a bomb to A.D. for like for like 30 yards when they needed three it was like third and three and sark was like

ah fuck it fuck it and what a hell of a catch he had to like uh fall he had to catch it while falling yeah not not easy to do and uh yeah Texas advances it's this was I feel like every week this season has been uh-oh a lot of top 10 teams on the ropes you know and in a in a normal season sometimes those upsets actually happen but they just keep not happening this year like we keep we've gotten some great games it's just been chalky yeah no no complaints at all about i mean i don't think we've gotten as many like especially in the beginning of the season i feel like we got some real bangers no complaints about the results but uh because i don't really care either way but right um i think what we have here is a situation where we are building up lots and lots of teams with

very legit uh like playoff cases and the longer that goes the more exciting it'll be when the one by one they uh they eventually fall apart you know it's it's kind of thing where a lot of these teams you know in a normal season we would have written them off a month ago but they're still here and they still got lots of hope we could make the argument that maybe we're just maybe we're just getting better at predicting who will win maybe that's the problem yeah although i think there's one There are a couple of teams that I think we knew were good that I think are still having seasons that go beyond just, you know, expected quality chalk. For instance, Florida State, Florida State's 10 and O. And if you had been around for the first two years of the Mike Norville era, you would have accused me of having rabies because it wasn't, it didn't look like it was going to go that way for a minute.

And they're 10 and O. Washington as well. Washington and you go oh we knew Washington was going to be good dude this first time they've been 10 and oh since 1991 so yeah there's a couple of those kind of stories we've had i guess in a in a normal season we would have you know someone would bomb out of the top 10 okay thank you lSU um and uh a couple other teams would lose upsets early it's just we just haven't had that this year no like someone had the stat about top 10 teams this year the record is just it's very unusual and it's it's it's a fun change you know like we come into every season like oh i hope this is as crazy as 2007 well first of all that's impossible so let's see what the opposite is like

and it's pretty interesting too we also have this which is i love that that we have a lot of top 10 certainty for teams that are good are going to remain good and not suffer upsets and those teams of course you know this is the era of the transfer portal and those teams teams in the era of the transfer portal for the most part have been like guess what we're better at that than you are too would be a shame if this wealthy man got even wealthier when you gave him a new widget to play with and for the most part they've all done that yeah and you know all this uh includes stuff like uh texas had to pull that catch out of its ass in order to of you know in order to remain in the top 10 you know like

like there's there's still a whole lot of like the ball bounces in funny ways to it yes we are also talking about a sunny dykes tCU team where you go well they would have been in trouble i'm like it's nothing saying that texas wouldn't have gotten a fifth down there's nothing saying that tc u wouldn't have shock punted on their first down after that right like i'm confident big 12 refs are not giving texas a fifth down this season this in previous seasons for old they probably have as many times as possible in previous seasons come on come on one more time put it put it on the line for daddy give us a sixth down you know one more old times yeah you know that ref's like oh i want to so bad just out a habit just it just feels so good they just

look so goddamn rich just feel my hand curling into horns up ah no um Also, there are teams that are just doing old-fashioned taking care of business with, like, thorough ass kicking. Alabama, Alabama just got Kentucky up the fuck out of the paint. Just, you know what, be neat if you didn't play anymore. It was like moving a piece of furniture. Yeah. Yeah, it was, uh, it took a couple of friends, but. In a van, yeah.

It's, it's, it's how, it's how Bama handles Kentucky. He's just normal Bama, you know, maybe Bama is the best, uh, the best thing example of something that could have gone the other way because two months ago yeah it felt highly end out that bama would be back here which is a crazy thing to say about bama uh but no they're a normal bama doing normal stuff to kentucky with uh with a with a quarterback who you know not to not to overlook not to overlook miller like yet another you know yet another quarterback just doing insane things um six touchdowns on the day six

and that's with like I think he sat for like most of the fourth quarter why it's just Kentucky well you're gonna give him a seventh what's not gonna do set his ass yeah and this is

this is a team that couldn't block two months ago could not block no not at all could not block USF go back and watch we are not lying that team could not knock around USF and here they are out here taking the Iowa of the SEC and trash canning them in the first

quarter. So, Spencer, are you still a Heisman voter? I am. Who are you going to vote for this time? I cannot discuss that. Who are you going to vote for this time? Nobody can hear you. I can only outline a parameter

of viable candidates who might be of interest to those looking for the most outstanding player in college football. And it'd be very weird to give a three-loss team a guy on a three-loss team the Heisman but that's not his fault why would it be weird to give a guy on a three-loss team the Heisman because it's usually given to somebody who's like on a championship for you said unusual so it would be unusual to

give a guy on a three-lossed yes it'd be unusual not ill-advised or illogical no no in fact it might make sense like maybe once in a while we could acknowledge that these guys can't pass to themselves or block for themselves they're or they're not going out to play corner or pass or pass block for themselves so three last team you're probably referring to new mexico state or yeah yeah coastal carolina yeah yeah yeah there's some exciting players i think of any other three last teams yeah yeah i i just um for the first time in a long time the heisman race is actually intriguing this this thing this thing we're taught to talk about like year round you know um this thing that like bulls in normies and

is just like, ah, I guess we should debate it. You know, this is the first time in a while where it's like, damn, there's like five to ten really great cases and, you know, like really, really fluctuating, you know, Knicks, Pinnix, Milro, Daniels, McCarthy, Marvin Harrison, like, and then I think there should always be a lineman and a defender in the mix. Like, I cannot recall a Heisman field this wide open that actually felt worth. investing time and attention and thinking it's a lot of guys to remember that's just a lot of guys can i tell you this is this is by the way i'm going to go ahead and buy futures on remembering some

guys for this year because there's a lot of quarterbacks and players who in general who fit the like future remembered guys diego pavia's one cam ward's another he's good these like it's a very rich field for remember that guy oh yeah Yeah. Comments are pointing out. I should have mentioned Tori Taylor. Yes. And weekly produces more yards punting the ball than the rest of Iowa's team does. Yep. I mean like remembering a guy, I would shout out Kenneth Grant, the 340 pound defensive tackle who ran down a running back in the open field today on Michigan, just because when he grabbed that guy, he was like, uh-uh, nope. I ain't doing that shit. Sit down, son.

I am not chasing you down the field. It's just one of those looks that you see that I feel like you see most frequently from offensive line where you're like, I have a pension. Yeah, where he was just like, oh, settle down. Settle down, little man. Big dogs moving here. We go slow. Don't need all that running around now.

Just sit down. Just slim, flammery. Yeah. I would have addressed, if I were him, if I were him as foghorn, leghorn, say, see now, see now. You need to relax. Yes. So, shouts out to him. Shouts out to all of the guys who will be remembered because, again, I think this is a very rich vein of them. At this point, we haven't talked about the bucks yet, which we're not legally obligated to do. Why did something happen? They beat Michigan State. is that hard so no nothing happened no but speaking of the parameters for most outstanding player on a team Marvin harrison junior had seven receptions for 149 yards two TDs he also had yards in the ground and a score there so they're just pressing the good button just pressing the travion henderson and the Marvin harrison buttons and he did all of that like immediately yeah this wasn't a game where they were counting on him late in the fourth to uh to keep producing

It was, the final score is 38 to 3. As far as I can recall, that was the score within about two minutes. It was 35, 3 at the half, yes. Talk about a pension. Clocked and clocked out. Yeah, again, like Alabama, did my favorite thing where they get on your ass immediately. Like, nope, there will be no contest today. We are having a scrimmage, and you are participating with you like it or not.

Additionally, it describes Georgia Ole Miss. I can't remember if we've already mentioned that or not. Okay. It was fun for half a quarter. yeah it was it was it was like oh they're they're kind of hanging in there and then oh no nope nope there's blood uh that's not really that is infected i don't really know why they were ranked number nine just sort of a trick of temporal reality you know they hadn't played the games they were going to lose yet their record looked really nice that's why they were number nine yeah you know when you don't break

serve against georgia and they're getting five yards off the line of scrimmage just with the push from the offensive line you may not be dead immediately but it's coming it's coming and this is this is like i think for the old miss fan this experience was a lot like falling overboard on a sailboat sure you could almost swim up to it but it's just going to keep pulling away from you and it doesn't look like doom but there it is disappearing over the horizon like it's just it's maintaining a constant speed and you brother or not the sharks are close but the land sharks are not no there were no do not so close but the shore is far the shore is so far especially when you're laying kiff and you go well i'm out of ideas that's it none of the stuff i do works okay listen well i guess

i was going to i'm about to drop it to be fair he has pete golden but i guess he's the one who hired him so what's pete golden going to do to keep george from scoring did you see that i don't know yeah i don't i don't have any ideas and neither just pete i have a problem with pete golden yeah like there are times there are times when you look you go man i'm going to be so mad at a coach i want to fire a coach and you know if you're in the room with them he'd look at you and go i don't know what to fucking do with him look look at him look at him where's he going to go where's he going to go yeah where's he fire him If you fire him, then he's going home with you. Then what?

Yeah. Then we both sit there on the couch going, I don't know what you do with that guy. He's huge. You fire, you break it, you buy it. I said this morning that I was a little trepidious about the thought of an injured and thus kind of unknown quantity of Luther Burden and Brock Bowers. I feel different about Brock Bowers now than I did this morning. Thank you, Brock, for returning certain. and order to the world.

Tire rope surgery is real fucking weird and it seems to have worked well for you. Just the weirdest thing that like three weeks ago somebody was basically doing like wrapping the bones in his ankle in zip ties and like mesh. If you don't think as part as being a body part, it's not as weird. If you think about it as happening to a part of your body, it's real weird. It's really weird. Yeah. But yeah, three weeks ago I was doing that.

And then he was out there running routes at full speed tonight. Like, it was nothing. Well, I mean, and tightrope surgery is a surgery. I was told this week by some Georgia people from which, like, you know, it's one of the quicker recovery times. It's still fucking surgery. Yeah, it is also the kind of thing that when you talk to people who've had it, for instance, former Oregon offensive lineman and NFL player, Jeff Schwartz said,

he could still feel his. Yeah, he's like, yeah, I got it. Yeah, it's weird. I can still feel it. feel it with his hand if he reached down and touched his ankle yeah so seriously when people are like oh it's nothing no that's not nothing go get it if you did it you would be like oh i was thinking about taking a brisk walk in three weeks and bowers is out there cutting on that shit he's unreal again so few surgeries that are nothing yeah you're as the most recent member of the forecast i

believed to have surgery yeah as far as I know yeah it's serious shit can we talk about the most important game of the day yes NC State 26 like Forest 6 on the side network on the CW me this is cinema so the average NC state score in four games on the CW 36 to 18 the average Insay State score in six games that are not on the CW, 18 to 21. Power is real. They are almost twice as good on the CW. Never mind that one of those was an FCS game. Shut up, have some fun out here.

Yeah. You might say that it's spooky, even supernatural. Supernatural. Seventh and five, heaven. Again, this is the fall of Dave Doran. Dave Doran Dave Doran's musk is especially strong this time of year

His musk No No No Does pick him out Like his smell But stinky but sexy His sexy stink

I believe is what that word means That's right He's just rubbing his antlers On all the trees His wolf antlers No No No

under no circumstances. This is a pretty good elk call. That's definitely a... That's one horny wolf. Yeah. On the rampage. Dave Horan. In the NFL, there is no margin for error.

It was Spencer. Sherman the diplomat says I think he smells like deer piss And I'm just like He's just dunking barrels over it over his head Like ah come fight me nature Next up for NC State Virginia Tech on the ACC network

That's a loss Then the rivalry game against North Carolina Does not have a network yet So we will wait to see whether UNC is doomed or not Excellent I wanted to can I discuss My most important game of the day So the second most important game, yes.

Yes, no, granted, granted. The CW, as we have stated, the true spiritual home of college football, that's the one slot. Everything else, including Michigan Penn State and other games of national import, they're fighting for second at best. Speaking of fighting for second, which game are we talking about? We're talking about Memphis 44, Charlotte 49ers 38. Alex Kirsner denied again. I knew some shit was going to happen. The minute he texted Godfrey, he was like, hold on, I might be back on with the Ryan Silverfield thing.

And I was like, yeah, what you need to know about this game is that it started insane and it only got wilder. This was in, of course, you don't just walk into Charlotte and walk out of there with the wind. Now, you got to fight for all of it. There were multiple lead changes at one point. Charlotte's up 17-7. then they're up 31 21 at one point Memphis never never gave up never gave in never gave up and at the end of the game all of these following things happened which was Memphis went and drove down for a score while they were driving down for a score in the last three minutes a referee

threw a flag directly into the dick of a Memphis wide receiver no like very very forcefully yeah like straight like seriously hit him like right in the golden triangle it looks like he was skipping a rock yeah he kind of sidearmed it yes absolutely this came this came like a play after uh demure blencomcy knocked himself out landing on the ground uh when he went up for a catch uh charlotte got the ball and drove down for a potential uh opportunity to win the game missed they go into o t and memphis wins it just a balkers game back and forth. Most entertaining game of the day by far, I have no idea why I landed on it other than I saw Alex Kersner say that Memphis was in trouble and that's when I was like, oh you said their name. Now they

noticed. Now they're really going to start playing. The football as football drops now. At halftime, Bownex has completed eight passes. 32.7 yards per completion. Bombs. I was about to make a joke about like, oh, for how many yards? And then I realized

I didn't know how high to say that would actually be a good joke. Yeah, it's for USC yards. Bo Knox, because that's rocket fuel, baby. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. But that was by far my favorite game of the day. Just a rollicking game, if there ever was one.

Holy Cross lost to Army to the disappointment of Emperor Constantine. Dion is 4 and 6 Almost pulled it off against a really good Arizona Lost to a ranked Arizona team Definitely like we drew it up at the start of the season Yeah I mean depth wise and production wise Colorado has hit the ain't shit portion of their

Yeah I mean well think about what Dion could do with Jed Fish's players I'm sorry I just wanted to see if I could get that out You know I wanted to see what it would feel like You did and it's totally effective factual. Yeah. Yeah. Because Jetfish has absolutely beat some ass. And I thought they'd predominantly assembled this team through the transfer portal and not, and did not realize that Jetfish, Jetfish is kicking ass recruiting inside the state of Arizona. Yeah. Yeah. They got, I'm blanking on the name, but yeah, they've had some big, big recruiting wins. Yeah, they've been

recruiting their asses off in a state that produces really good talent. So in case you, So I guess what we're trying to say is... You may not actually... Can I go split zone for a second? You may not think of Arizona as a traditional hotbed of recruiting talent. Like, you might think, oh, you have to go into California. They have to go into Texas. Phoenix is an exploding population zone.

I think the thing is, it's... Arizona is like a third-tier recruiting state, which isn't a, you know, that's... That's... It's not a dish, no. Is it's so hard to think of it as a recruiting state just because so few kids. have stayed in state historically just because USC's typically had first pick

you know so like to actually see an you know in state Arizona powers would be pretty cool JMU's 10 now that's weird no it's not

and not a thing is going to be done about it huh let them let them play cowards that's all I'm saying I think you should show up show up where to the Sunbelt Championship game. Oh, that one, okay. And just hang out, but like, got next.

I was thinking bowl season. They just... Or that, yeah, all that. You just sort of, you don't know whether they'll show up or not. Expect us. Listen, you can cut a promo, you can be inspirational, you can be motivational. But the one thing that you can't do

is you can't fuck with the Maryland Terrapins baby because Nebraska went down today, 1310 on my favorite thing as ESPN is describing it on their page right now. a walk-off field goal. Oh! He struck that dinger. He did.

Belted deep to right. Could it be? Then he's got to touch them all. It's gone. 1310, channeling the spirit of September, Maryland. Deep into November. Wait, is this comment right from Sherman that Nebraska had three different quarterbacks throw

fix they uh i know they had quarterback uh troubles today holly that certainly seems like it would qualify so heinrich harberg was one for five i'm sorry what year is it heinrich harberg oh of the of the of the stockholm harbors metaphysicist mystic and current shot put champion 1928 heinrich harberg Heinrich Harburg, uh, instead of literally everything else you do. He's, uh, he's got one interception, no TDs. Chubba Purdy. Uh, you know what it is.

Was oh and one. So he had a pick and no TDs. And then with a whopping 13 attempts, I can't tell you how much Nebraska fucking hates its quarterbacks. Oh my God. They hate their quarterbacks so much. Jeff Sims, who you last saw, chucking ducks up to the Colorado Buffaloes two months ago

eight for 13 for 62 yards and he threw two picks as well so yeah touch them all touch them all you you hit the grand slam four four runs four interceptions the Nebraska quarterback room god damn yet another great day by Nebraska's defense wasted yeah they uh my guy the whole fucking Big Ten West this is the epitimate I'm glad we're getting rid of this thing, but I'm also kind of going to miss it because, like, after all these years of making fun of this thing, it is outdoing itself. Like, the entire division except for one team has a negative point differential, and that one team doesn't play offense.

Like, Iowa needed a shutout to get in, to get out of the red today. An entire division, it's like the NFC South that we have to take seriously. it's the other thing too is uh i don't want to i don't want to overstate this because it's it's Nebraska but after all the hollering over however many past seasons of like oh we're restoring the black shirts oh Nebraska appears to finally be on the way to like making some headway on the defensive front and they're being anchored down by the other half their team yeah they need so they got black shirts now they need their black pants mm-hmm half-dressed Nebraska I believe, by the way, that we need to go ahead and use this term pre-fired,

which is where we've just gone ahead and taken an option on you being fired. Like pre-unfollowed? Yes. Like, it's going to happen. I really wish we could do that. Lay that particular wager. Who are we pre-firing? Well, basically, Brian Farrant, the minute he signed that contract was pre-firing.

Yeah. Right? Yeah. Sure. But, like, for the Big Ten West, you could pre-fire it. I also think, by the way, I love that you, I love that you have pre-nistalgia for the Big Ten West. Yeah. A dude that you're like, wow, what an amazing thing.

And me, I'm like, stupid thing is going to, we're going to wish we didn't get rid of it when we're watching fucking Washington Rutgers for no reason. This feels, there's a very Midwestern sensibility to this of like, oh, we're cleaning out a house. And it's like, oh, look at all these empty Tupperware lids. No, we might use those. Mm-hmm. It feels, this whole thing feels very Midwestern hoarding mom.

I don't know. I think there's some inappropriate pre-nistology going on there, Jason, because I think you're like, you're like, oh, I'll miss the Big Ten West. I'm like, it was oppressive. It was evil and it deserved to die. I mean, it sucks. I said that. We've said that for a decade or however long it's been or however long since it.

Because that's how long this is how long we've been saying it sucks, yeah. This podcast is older than the Big Ten West. We have said it sucks. the entire time. It has sucked the entire time. And we can because we were here first. We were here first one. It has sucked. Will is sucking. Also, we have sucked this entire time. We know what we're talking about. Yeah, yeah. Speaking of sucking, Pat Fitzgerald is no longer the coach at Northwestern, but Northwestern is doing totally fine in his absence. The alleged best coach in the history of Northwestern, he wasn't uh his team is five and five beating wisconsin on the road by 14 today northwestern

might go to a bowl after being um one of the two-ish worst power five teams last year i can't scroll back up far enough to pull the stat but we had an amazing tidbit from a northwestern fan tom mcgrath who points out that the last time a nebrath or a northwestern coach did this well in his first season Arizona was not yet a state and would not be until after that coach retired. Yeah. There were a couple of, there were a couple of these like big, bad stank, intolerable kind of losses today for various teams.

That lost to Northwestern for Wisconsin. I know it's year one in a rebuild there. It's still, that's a stankass loss right there. Another big stank ass loss. Purdue had two wins coming into today. They played Minnesota. Now they have three. that's different

yeah 10 west mess which who made this clean up love yourselves i i'm just going to i'm going to quote an unrelated comment from someone earlier to the internet which is i have

information that will lead to the arrest of p j flect don't need bar rescue these dishes are dirty pj jesus you serve these to custom another another one of those by the way I don't know if you saw Garrett Schrader for Syracuse believe he was split wide during a trick play and did a backflip as a distraction

what formative backflip like a standing like you know on trick plays sometimes they will ask you I believe I have the situation right on trick plays they will ask you to do something like you know fake a heart attack as an Arkansas state defender did against Miami a couple of years ago, they will ask you to dance or to do a cartwheel or to describe people or to distract people any way you can, right? And Garrett Schrader, in order to do this, he did a backflip, like a standing back flip. Excellent. Good for him to hurt himself.

No, he's fine. Okay, good. Have we ever seen any... I can't recall that shit ever working. I can't recall seeing defenders just stand slack-jawed like, what? A guy did a cartwheel. I'd better watch that. Yeah, although really, that's like, that's how you know you have a high school coach lurking somewhere in there because they're like, hey, try this. It works on high schoolers. Try this.

It bewilders 16-year-olds. Jesus, Dave says, that old bark like a dog basketball trick, which I read with the word dog modifying basketball like oh yes that old dog basketball trick uh typical air bud yeah oh el serverino himself michael server is in the comments what's going on that means we have to go ahead must credit clemson must credit clemson clemson clemson beat uh even week georgia tech i believe we're on even no we're odd week odd week i think last week georgia tech reset the um equation so to speak okay is that a daylight savings time thing or uh yeah maybe

that's what it is yeah yeah it's bad code if it involves Georgia Tech it had involved some sort of coding error yeah they're they're busy playing Warcraft yeah Clemson Clemson clemson yeah clemson 42 21 gosh that wasn't some doubt like game Clemson mm hmm um speaking of uh speaking of orange teams Oklahoma State started the year with uh just just in the worst possible shape very very bad losses to South Alabama by a lot of points, and then got it very, very right, ranked all the

way up to, entered the day at number 15 against UCF, which only had one big 12 win on the year, and then Oklahoma State, you lost by 42 points. What the fuck? So, like, did any of that stuff since South Alabama actually happened? Well, you see, there's a difference, because before this game you were playing UCF but after this game Jason you're playing the space team yeah it's true yeah so that's really what what sort of boosted everything to the next level because literally or you have the win over oklahoma so you're just trying to drag down that loss as much as possible like oh you lost you lost this shitty team yes you must suck you know what there's absolutely i will say this though if if my goddy came to me and said hey man there's no way we were getting up for

ucf i'm like let's be honest must be honest you know it's like how much like of all the like century of rage that went into the last game versus oklahoma and taking home the belt you get to take you know like they basically won at wrestlemania and this is the monday show where they got the belt off of them right like yeah this is uh the the the monday show after that's when that's when they just dumped their like i don't know um we're calling up a bunch of minor leaguers you're you're in a feud now with some guy who's 21 years old that type of shit so yeah yeah here you're fighting the new guy that's what you see you got to wrestle little dicky tonight he's not even the marquee rapper who gets the russlemania joining he's you know

he's his little dicky he goes on the monday after rassalvania does mike gundy know ucf counts as a conference game no like the the amount of information in that man's head most of which is fake um i can't imagine there is room for like keeping up with conference at your line yeah there's a lot of there's too much of his own research in there to yeah exactly finishing with houston and biu as well three in a row non-con games for mike gundy he's like who booked this shit who's this shit why don't we we got to go back to the big eight yeah book the book the house and combo again We're on vacation. Don't tell anybody.

Speaking of unusual point totals, Iowa scored 22 points. Yeah. Slow down. It looked for a while. It scored 22, and they still hit the under, which went down from 28.5. Kickoff was 27.5, and they still got it done.

I think this is like nine weeks in a row. when even degenerate gamblers have been like, it can't be that bad. Set the line there. There's no fucking way. Like the six lowest totals in the history of like, you know, actually keeping track of such a thing,

five of them are Iowa games from the past calendar from the past like 12 months. That's insane. And we haven't hit the bottom yet because Nebraska game's still coming. I love it. Oh God, I keep forgetting about that. It's like the one game I've had

circled all you When you book a dentist appointment And it's like three months out Because they're busy or whatever You're like, oh, I don't have to floss yet And then Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll do that way

To floss ever, Spencer. I would never insist that. My teeth are very far apart. It's a useful skill. Yeah. Seriously, man. They're like headstones in there. They're just, you know, neat and separate.

What kind of graveyard is your mouth? a fun question that won't in any way go wrong yeah it's it's one of those new orleans ones it's filled with mystery and large hard white objects and french people yes and scoundrels scoundrels and tales of intrigue nicholas cage has a pyramid in spencer's mouth that was for ryan i can't wait to get in there uh washington uh still undefeated Defeated Utah. Yet another valiant effort. Yeah, that was, that was not, that was not entirely in hand for the entire game.

Utah attempting every single week to land a spacecraft without the necessary heat shields, guidance instruments. Every single week, Commander Kyle Whittingham is like, again. Shit. Almost. Almost every time. held Michael Pennix under 350 yards that's that's an achievement

they're gonna give him coach of the year and the speech explaining why is going to be extraordinary because it'll be like two quarterbacks knees exploded one of them exploded for like ever like it's just never going to yeah like nine different defenders got injured he has

walk on starting on the offensive line and he's got a pig farmer at starting quarterback like nothing wrong with that he MacGyvered this shit and somehow they were ranked like the entire year ranked and

ranked and nearly beat Washington even though Washington dropped a ball just before they went in the end zone so this I was not no that was a yard before it was

it was arguably two yards yeah it was this was special so like there was a history of in like the long history of Deshawn Jacksonings I think it might have been Roger Sherman who pulled together the post

a number of years ago there's been a ton of these and they happen at least once or twice a year in big college football games and no one can believe that they still happen but at this point it's because like well kids are so young they don't remember Deshawn Jackson

but this I have never seen one more aggressive than this like usually it's an inch shy or a foot shy This was like a person shy of the goal line. And what's, it doesn't even look like, like, it doesn't look like the ball slipped. It doesn't look like the player slipped. It, he just, he just did it.

He just did it. And then. Incredible. It set up a safety. So it all, it all worked out fine. It's like, all according to plan. Like, we drew it up. According to plan.

Today was more fun than I thought. It was, it was, I think that's the. review more fun than i thought it was going to be oh definitely not more fun than i thought it was going to be but yeah i think i think yeah in hindsight it's uh at first glance it's like oh man we uh you know a bunch of blowouts and whatever but you know as always there's there's a lot more than just that last week my two primary rooting interests uh combined one by something like 83 points and today they lost by a combined 60 so you know when some win some lose so lose them. Yeah.

Yamazoo. Ah! I fucking told y'all they were a complete team. Never mind. Not that they needed to be a complete team tonight based on what Tennessee gave them, but okay.

Story of the game is walk on running walk on running back. Fucker face. Walking, walk on running back and dude who kind of looks like a swole Charlie Day, Cody Schrader. He looks

he was 12 and he was beating He looks like Charlie Knight. Is that what you're saying? Yes, he looks like Charlie Knight. He looks like Chuck Day. Chuck Day. All right, that's enough talk about Mazoo. Yeah, Cody Trader's amazing.

They ran them. What the fuck, dude? We can move on. I like that in a hypothetical in which teams ranked number 13 and 14 are playing in a 12-team playoff era, to ignore the names of those teams. That would be a really, really, really important. important game. So like, you know, at this time next year, if two teams with those rankings play

each other, it'd be a game to play a lot of attention to, you know? And like, as, as of now, it's like a possible New York Six game. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, like, I don't know. Like, I would be really, I don't know, a crime was committed tonight and the victim's name was football. That's all I really have to say about that game. Right now. What we were playing, but that wasn't football. Right now, as we speak in Provo, Utah, I bring you good news. Jesus loves you, and you're getting absolutely destroyed by Iowa State. Iowa State is, oh, God, in the third quarter, it's 4513, 4513. I was asked what to tell BYU fans, and I was like, grow stronger.

You are being gracious hosts. Yes, get your way down. You are known for your hospitality, and you are demonstrating it tonight. Yes. Iowa State continues its recovery from an absolute shit start. And what better way to do that by playing one of the extremely inviting and hospitable new members of the Big 12 who have all been very kind to their new brethren? Except for UCF today. Except for Bucking.

Yeah, what happens to UCF? Well, Mike Gundy lost by a million points. He's got to be used to that at this point at least. I do like that about Gus, where if he's like, oh, can we hit a lick tonight? Oh, we're going to hit a lick. Okay, cool. Is that play still working? I'm going to call it 300 times.

I've never seen this shit. Yeah, exactly. Or no, it's Gus. So it's like they haven't seen this shit since eighth grade. I was going to say that moment whatever, we have the sign on. I was like, oh, fuck, he's doing a high school shit. I'm going to unleash the power of the spread wing tea.

Just over there quoting his book right into the end of the headset. Yeah. Call that. Page 32. Actually, that's it. You know that playbook doesn't have 32 pages. just page eight did you notice he said 32

again somebody told me somebody who would know well goes hey you know Paul Johnson told me only has 11 plays and I was like that seems like too many I mean that's got to be counting punt field goal in victory

victory formation yeah is one of them maybe it's like one of them is run this way and one of them is run that way yeah one of them is pass because they did throw sometimes glare

dip glower I'm out one okay strong punch that that playback had to get whittled

over time because like Hawaii Paul Johnson was on some shit oh yeah you go back and watch Hawaii

when he was there they're just shit you've never seen before it and never seen since like that was the lab and then

it all got it all got condensed down to the final form of the techmo bowl playbook no that's the end that was some young experimental conscious rap that's wild long-haired paul johnson yes dropping syllables about lyrical miracles yeah yeah and then later on he became clubbanger paul johnson yeah you're all crazy for this one let's just make butts move

yeah yeah make butts move call the same three beats here we go did we did we miss anything from this outstanding day of college football uh Oregon state 62 stand for 17. It's a big, big number, Oregon State. Eight and two, Oregon State is a thing that, you know, still, after Oregon State had a whole lot of down years, eight and two, number 12, Oregon State. How about that? Yeah, that is impressive. Another big number, by the way, Bo Nix adding to his stellar passing line tonight with a fresh touchdown thrown to a wide open receiver. I'll be damned. U.S.C.'s number seven ran over like,

oh, fuck, shit. Oh. Wait, I thought the drink was the entire problem. Da Picles. Supposed to be over here. You mean it's deeper than just one guy? Uh-oh. He just looked at the corner looked up like,

there's so much grass here. Who put all of this grass here? It's fucking unreasonable. I love corners. We're watching the UNC Duke game and like, guy drops a wide open touchdown and i'm like if i was the db i'd just go over there and celebrate right like no sir yeah that's when you hit him with the seat built yeah yeah got you on lockdown not on my watch bucko get hit him with the dekimbe you're in the no fly zone pal

granted i didn't do a thing but you still are this is this game is going to be it's going to go deep another night and it's going to involve a lot more wide open guy standing in the end zone with Bo Nix just looking like a genius. I think that again, we get to say in 2023, Bo Nix football genius. This might be a thing where Heisman voters look up

in the morning and they're like, three for 7,000 yards, but it was against USC. They continue to get to say the phrase get right game against USC's defense, which will never stop being funny. Four years ago, if I told you, it'd be like, hey, listen, Bo Nix and Jade

and Daniels are going to be rampaging. you're like at football at football not not at botchy okay yeah not in the street fighting cops yeah no in the sport of football oh man yeah i think that's about it uh k state with another big number um baler's okay k say sam houston state two and eight a winning streak for sam houston fantastic congratulations sam houston let's just keep this going let's keep the magic let's keep the magic happening um didn't die for this no and remember we did discuss by the way the little lift of hope the scott satterfield team always does at the end of the season just climbing up to make things just in time for him to fucking ruin it by his own design Cincinnati 24 Houston 14

the first big 12 win for Cincinnati you know I'm uh you know who I'm hearing is uh drawn a lot of interest from ADs around the country. Oh, it's Scott Satterfield? That coach who's engineered a late season surge at Cincinnati. I've heard the players are really buying in. It's a culture thing. There we can't believe, yeah. Yeah.

That's true. You can be like, hey, look, Cincinnati's figuring it out, and they don't have to know that I'm not lying because I'm talking about the Bengals. That's a good point. Not the bear cats. I'll be like, yeah, Cincinnati's really got it going on. And boy, this young coach. here who he's not young he's young for you

that's right what the fuck does that mean when you when you hire him he will be new and then he won't stay very long usually we hire motherfuckers who are like 80 I wish there was a program that was like

sorry the culture and the culture of this fan basin the way that we like to do things I need a coach is at least 78 I think UNC is They're trying it Yeah I mean not just Mac

Butch was not the youngest The Seahawks are trying it But he's a daywalker and a highlander So that doesn't know He's never leaving He ages an emotional tween But yeah We need a we need a program that's like

Sorry we need a lot of frost We need a lot of snow up on that mountain A lot of frost on that pumpkin Yeah a lot of frost Tennessee Hey Hey. Enough out of you.

Nebraska got rid of their frost. I didn't hear that about them. Oh, hey, I think with that, I think with that, we have reached a wonderful departure point for the full cast after dark if you have made it this far in the program. Thank you for coming out and listening.
