Welcome to the shutdowns to the shutdown fullcast.
Ah, you are now listening to the shutdown fullcast. Oh, you are now listening to,
the internet's only college football podcast except for split zone duo that's my new way
of not shutting them out it's my new way of working them in what do you what do you all think was
that slick i think we should probably let people get more than 10 seconds into the podcast
before we throw an ad at them i just did no we're just this is new all right all right you know never
mind i'm sorry i question your judgment as usual i'm not establishing the run i'm going straight to play
action.
Holly, what if this is more of like a,
Mario, thank you for finding me, but your college football
podcast is in another castle thing.
Oh, yeah, they won't find any college football here.
Right.
So maybe it's a mitzvah of sorts where it's like, oh, I'm sorry,
were you looking for, he's, Spencer's sort of being a clipy of sorts?
We're just going to throw a 404 redirect on the front of this podcast.
If you clicked here in hopes of seeking
college football, then bloop, here's your error message.
I'm sorry, did you mean split?
It's on duo.
I am Spencer Hall, and I am the host of this here show.
My co-host, joining me as always, is Jason Kirk coming to us.
I assume from beautiful Kennesaw, unless you had to relocate your game this week.
I can't reveal my location, so.
That's very, so you're in Kennesaw.
Okay, got it.
It's very Dale Gribble of you.
We can say that.
I can't tell you where I am.
That's how the government finds you.
Our special guests this week, as they are, most weeks, most weeks.
No, no, some weeks.
Some weeks.
That would be Holly Anderson.
Hello?
She's just nodding.
That's the best part.
And Ryan Nanny.
Hi, Ryan.
That's because you got cocky.
You were like, oh, they'll be here most.
Maybe we won't.
maybe i don't know you wrote i'll be here just like marriage every day is a decision to continue
the shutdown forecast okay when you put it like that i want to walk into this i'm a wild flower
you don't know where the wind's going to take me um i have an unfortunate i'd like to report an
unfortunate omen that this may be the year of the georgia bulldog it's not even in the show notes
We weren't going to do this.
Arp, ARP, ARP.
It is in the show notes.
It is.
It's right there up top.
It's going to click the link.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Okay, I have to agree with this.
Yeah, no, no, this is good.
My complaint is withdrawn, and I agree.
This omen.
Okay, I know.
They're pretty impressive this weekend.
They've been good all season,
and they are the only team in college football that I know of
that can actually make tackles consistent.
clemson's right there in other words uh but but really like since clemson's like basically
georgia but with a lake this is b yu erasure but whatever sure okay b yu okay maybe b yu i'll grant them
but georgia being the most consistent in terms of actually having a defense uh that is a good
omen it's not as good an omen as this this comes to us from twitter user w mac underscore dody
We'll just call Mac.
When you spend quarantine building a fishing boat and your brother says,
putting a putting a putting a putting a putting a putting in green on a pontoon boat
is the most Georgia shit I have ever seen.
Readers, he has sent us a photograph.
We can confirm the level of Georgia shit on display in this photo.
Mm-hmm.
Because what you'll see is parked on a street, a pontoon boat with what appears to be
a putting green.
An actual verdant
putting green
on a pontoon boat.
Yeah, I haven't seen anything.
Just like sawgrass, baby.
That's right.
I got my own TPC.
How baller it would it be, by the way,
if you saw this just parked in the street,
you know, just pull out the clubs,
get some balls, start chipping onto it.
That's right.
I can get mad.
I think the owner would appreciate it
if you left a tip.
But it was like $5 green's fee.
Yeah.
Hey, rake the sand, asshole.
Busting out the windows on the truck.
That's fine.
Another $5.
Is this thing hitched to like a 30-year-old Bronco?
What is that car?
That is...
PC stands for truck-based putton course.
Dude, I think that's an original suburban.
Okay.
Look at it.
Is that what that is?
Oh, it's got the station wagon door on the back, too.
Look at that.
Oh, yeah, it's got the full...
so that if you open the door it would damage the boat yes this is peak georgia this
that's not a metaphor and i wish we could just move on yes i think we've got definitely not a
metaphor i think we resent you asking i think we've established that this omen is probably as good
an indication as anything that happens on the field that this this may indeed be the year of the bulldog
oh god Amanda mall's going to be so mad because she was she was on twitter a former former full cast guest
maybe future guest who's to say
saying you know
when is the full cast ever going to
remark on how good Georgia is
we probably have to beat somebody else
probably have to beat Bama right
here it is Amanda
here it is piping hot
dog talk
nothing but
golf golf boat base dog talk
dot dog talk
dot com
no I got nothing
yeah
this is the Georgia podcast now
we're going to talk about why
the FDA
eliminating my favorite pesticide
over 40 years ago is the reason I support
the overthrow of the government peacefully.
That's why you buy in bulk.
That's right. And keep a shed.
They got rid of seven dusted. That's why
I only vote for fascists.
There's a logic here.
I promise.
Stetson Bennett, the third, wouldn't have gotten it done, but Stetson Bennett
the fourth. He's a man for this
program.
Do you think that's like Iron Man
suits? Like maybe he's not
a human? It's like
that's Mark 4 of Stetson Bennett.
the thing on top of the car you mean so what is this one designed to defeat
definitely defeated tennessee definitely did that and it definitely will defeat
florida just going to get that out of the way now are we referring to stetson bennett or the
golf boat yes or are they one in the same yes okay good if you put stetson bennett on the golf
boat oh this one is definitely designed to counter i feel like this boat is definitely designed to
sail into Jacksonville.
This is definitely your Florida.
Oh, man, you're right.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's also very Georgia in that
I'm certain this isn't seaworthy.
You're not making it more than
40 yards offshore. Well, that's what the canoe on the top
of the car is for. Listen, you can't
become St. Simon until you die.
Wow.
Who are you to say it's seaworthy?
That's a judgment call,
ain't it? Jesus walked on water, but I'm
bringing my pole cart.
That's a matter of personal accountability, isn't it?
Which I also don't have.
Tell you what, if it ends up at the bottom of the sea,
then that means the sea wanted to hang on to it.
I guess it was sea worthy then.
I'm ready to do this.
Sorry, it's too precious to Poseidon.
I was born for the ocean.
That's why I wear boat shoes all the time.
You would think that Poseidon would be the most satisfying name to say
of a Greek or Roman god in a Georgia accent, but you'd be wrong.
Hephaestus.
Aries.
It's aries.
Oh, damn it.
Aphrodite.
That's pretty good.
You know what the most joy?
My face just, oh, I don't know.
You come really strong down on that second one.
Odysseus.
Dionysus.
Dionysus Johnson.
He's out of Lowndes County.
Deonesis, Johnson, get your ass off that swing set.
Oh, I like this.
That's a baby name.
Oh, Deonesis.
He's passed out in the sandbox again.
Too much
Zaxby's
Carybdis
Carybdis get down here
Uh
Actually in most Georgia
one is Cerberus
Because then you can
You just call one dog
And you're calling all the dogs
Oh
Wow
And you live in hell
I feel like we should have
Some kind of gonged
I can't imagine a gassier dog
Than a bulldog
Serbrus
Oh no
What happens when two of the heads
Dying
The Thirtluss is dragging them along
That's why they put three
on it. We put it on, actually, we put it on
a mountain. That's what we do here.
We carve it into a mountain.
This entire job is making sure you can't leave.
Yeah.
By the way, another Georgia thing, by the here,
another Georgia total. It's how you know it might be
the year of the Bulldog. If you didn't watch the 44-21
trouncing of the Tennessee volunteers
who, yeah, they were pretty game for a minute.
Then Georgia happened. That team that can tackle.
The team that does not make mistakes.
The team that can run the ball with, five
running backs to all are all.
awesome and look the same.
Why are we still talking about this game and not what happened to you?
Because of the total of, oh, we're going to talk about that.
And of George's many running backs, the one who scored a touchdown in this game, his nickname is,
Zeus, that's right.
Zeus.
Hey, Zeus.
That one doesn't really hit.
It doesn't have enough syllables.
I became aware of this when I clicked over to Twitter and saw Zeus trending in the United
States and I thought, well, that can't be good.
Does Saturn work better?
Saturn.
Saturnalia?
Yeah, you know who...
For a daughter.
The meanest man on your team
is the offensive lineman named Uranus Johnson.
Wow.
That's because you know what?
He's like, you're just my name.
Say it again.
So if we're switching from Greek to Roman,
then I think Zeus's name upgrades in George Assity.
Jupiter.
Yeah.
Oh, Jupiter White.
But these all sound like Boise State, like Boise State receivers.
Jupiter White sounds like a, sounds like a NASCAR driver who, like, died when a wrench flew through his head.
These are also like Elliot Gould rolls from like the early 70s.
Oh, sexy Elliot Gould is Jupiter White.
Athena.
That's how you know the movie industry was only like 80 people because they're like,
Elliot Gould, now that's sex.
That's fuckability.
I beg your fucking pardon.
Have you seen Elliot Gould in the 70s?
Yeah.
You shut your fucking mouth.
Yeah, no, we've upgraded.
We do way better than Elliot Gould now.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Some guy who'd be like a middle school principal is like the heart throb of the 70s.
That's how you know drugs are real and bad for you.
I was just going to say the other Georgia thing about this game is what was Tennessee's rushing totals on the day?
One under.
they were one under
played 18
and they went one under
uh oh breaking
AP top 25 news
oh goodness we just got it in
that happened hours ago
um
who Spencer the people want to know
where did Michigan land
after this chaotic weekend
of college football? Okay this week this is very funny
this is so good
because this week
this week the AP top 25
without the Big 10 or the Pac 12
playing a single game
managed to manifest severe
Big Ten bias. It happened.
How? I have
no idea because we have no evidence
but for no reason whatsoever.
Michigan, holding steady
at 20, moved up a spot
to 19.
Who's 18?
That's a really good question.
I'm really asking who's 18.
A fellow 90s power.
Interesting.
It would be the Tennessee vault.
Also, USC has entered the polls.
I think that's even more exciting.
Nature is healing itself.
Are we just preloading the natural buoyancy of USC
has got them up in the polls?
25, sure.
I like that we're treating the AP poll like a Windows game
from 1993.
Please insert six of nine.
We will upload USC now.
My favorite AP fact of the year so far is that when the Big Ten teams rejoined the polls, Indiana did not have any votes.
Now, Indiana has one vote.
It has been a strong October for our Hoosier Boys.
At this rate, they will have like seven votes soon.
Missouri, who just beat LSU, two votes.
That's beautiful.
I'm going to transition off that.
LSU or Coastal Carolina.
Who got more votes this week?
I'm looking at it, so I know, but I won't.
Yeah, you know.
It better have been Coastal Carolina.
Coastal Carolina got 37 votes and LSU got five.
Outstanding.
That is correct.
So to Texas.
Losing to Missouri will put you behind the following teams.
Arizona State with six.
Yeah, yeah.
Has not played a game.
Ole Miss with six just gave up the earth to Alabama.
Air Force 11, who I believe Air Force has played, I think they have played three games.
They've played at least.
They've played at least two games.
Some of those were games.
Yeah.
I know they beat Navy.
It'll put you behind UAB with 29.
And it'll put you behind Iowa, another team who.
Oh, that's a team that's definitely going to pad Ference's bio next year.
Yeah, that's it.
I'm going to say this.
Iowa, clean sheet, completely undefeated.
Another team that this week prospered despite doing nothing.
I know other people had good weeks.
but who's had a better week than Oregon who despite not playing a game managed to stay at 12 hold down that 12 ranking right there so Michigan moved up a spot also were their jug rivals Minnesota moved up from 25 to 24 to make room for USC to make room for USC so now also by the way two the two two biggest powers of the playoff era this is this is so good by the way because A&M A&M beat Florida had the biggest win
Jimba Fisher's tenure.
Yes, a 41 to 38 to feet,
which we will discuss in great excruciating detail shortly.
Interesting.
They've done all this.
And A&M still behind Florida.
They're at 11.
Florida's at 10.
And they're both just one and two spots,
respectively, above Oregon,
who hasn't played a game.
And behind Penn State, who also, like,
I'm not kidding.
At first, I hated this.
Now this is the only way I want to do the top 25.
Like, I want every year, we just, like, you can randomize you and say, okay, this year
the Big Ten, you're playing first, and the SEC's got, whatever.
But I only want this stupid game of like, well, I'm pretty sure if they were here,
Penn State would deserve to be ninth.
I feel like we should save a seat for them.
That's fair.
My favorite thing about the current AP Top 25, and apologize if I've previously described,
anything else with that uh i'll i'll update it to this cincinnati's number eight which that's the
kind of thing a non-power you're usually going to need to hit like eight and oh nine and oh to be up here
eight nope they're up here ahead of pen state florida a and m oregon miami alburn wisconsin
like uh theoretically they're within range of the playoff i imagine the playoff committee convened right now
they'd say whoa whoa whoa let's bump them down by about 10 spots but like Cincinnati based on the
computers more like a 1415 type team so yeah i am happy that cincinnati is overrated that's
2018 UCF the the team that was coming off the undefeated season and beat auburn in the bowl game
and was undefeated up till a bowl game in 2018 topped out at seven in the eight people and
and cincinnati's like well that wasn't so hard all we had to do i don't see what all that fuss
was about maybe you should have just gone three and o like we did all we had to do was play in the
middle of a pandemic done all we had to do is uh beat uh usf we beat usf pretty badly that was
really hard oh my my last ap top 25 note ohio state given the undertaker here basically sitting
at six even though hasn't even entered the ring yet all just waiting on the dead man to walk in
what what i don't understand is this they've said okay ohio state you get the sixth spot and but like
I don't understand the differentiation between, like, Oklahoma State is behind Ohio State.
North Carolina is ahead of them.
Based on, like, North Carolina's looked good this year, but how do you parse this?
Oklahoma State almost lost to Tulsa, so Ohio State, did Ohio State almost lose to Tulsa?
No, that's true.
Not yet.
Yeah, but Ohio State hasn't even done that.
This week, well, yeah, they haven't almost lost to Tulsa.
I mean, UNC almost lost at Boston College.
Yeah, that's not Tulsa.
Okay.
It's pretty Tulsa.
So, you know when you're making a list of things to do?
Sure.
And you have the one thing.
Ryan, you're right.
Tulsa has more AP votes than Boston College.
Wow.
Sorry, Spencer, go ahead.
Making a list of things to do.
When you make a list of things to do and you're carrying them over from the day before and you go, oh, I didn't do laundry.
I'm going to put laundry sixth, right?
We're going to do laundry.
So I like that even in your universe, you're like, you know how you make a list and then you don't do it that day?
Yeah, you know how lists are fake?
So I'm getting to the point of lists being fake.
I feel like this is Spencer trying very hard to relate to people who make lists.
Are you telling me you, no, I'm telling you every AP top 25 voter is just like me because they have a note that says, oh, I think Ohio State's like six.
I should put them around there.
But instead of putting that off to the side is a thing to do once Ohio State starts playing games, they just put it.
in the actual poll like yeah no just leave them in there i could put an actual team there but
i wouldn't remember it i'm just going to let them hang there this is all this is this is a bunch
of people like over a hundred people just going yeah all right just remember to put ohio state
there because you'll forget that ohio state exists if you don't do that that's what that is
and then they'll disappear we've just locked these teams into certain spots yeah it's well i mean
I I it's it's kind of cool it's like they're uh you know they're like like mystical gatekeepers
you guys surpass you know like unc has passed the ohio state threshold whereas oklahoma state has yet
you know and like i like to think of them as like video game levels like oh you haven't
gotten that key yet you can't go there well i was thinking of it like a turn based a turn
based game where it's like this opponent is coming up next it's ohio state uh oh you've
successfully slowed them down now they're still there you know it's not their turn right and like oh
it's unc's turn now like you have that column off on the side i see it's never ohio state's turn
right you turn them into muteu that's what you just gave them like the magical enchanted
pokewarm spot of six so or maybe it's like we could go face the ohio state boss right now but
no we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna you cast sleep on big 10 yeah yeah it's a
surprisingly effective, especially for Illinois.
Clemson's just racking up XP-facing ACC teams, as is Notre Dame and as is UNC.
What's happening here?
This is me playing Breath of the Wild for like an hour and then coming upon a goblin
and turning tail around and running, because I just want to forage for mushrooms, man.
Yeah.
Don't we all?
This poll's awesome.
Let's never do this any other way again.
Shouts out to every voter who's just riding Ohio State in so they won't forget that the
program exists. I also like that this show the shutdown forecast. I don't know if we've ever looked
at the AP poll before. Like this is a college football program that covers college football scrupulously
and the like single most defining thing about, you know, the race of each season and the
history of each season is the little numbers by the names and we've completely ignored it until it
went wrong. And now I can't wait for to come out each week. Now it's you are like us. You're making
things up now well it's like it's like asking c3 p.o to rank college football team it's like
no he went out northwestern way higher i am a middle grad that man's brain would explode
yeah yeah just oh boy the uh people so the the first thing i wanted to talk about this week
was um as in as in the third did the show just start the yeah thing welcome
The first actual game I wanted to talk about this week.
We already talked about one of those, too.
No, no, in depth, in depth.
It's been 26 minutes.
It's a very important note.
We're very serious.
I don't know where we end up in the final recording the show,
but we've been recording for 26 minutes.
Lane Kiffin had a panty on his head.
This is the game you wanted to discuss.
Yes, that is the game is.
The game of wearing underwear on your head.
The game that led to the underwear arriving on his face.
Remember when Joe Tess was just the guy who rifles through your unmuneration?
on television.
Yeah, because he did that.
Was that at Fresno State?
I forget.
It was several times.
It was Fresno State.
Yeah, they would just go check
what was in somebody's dorm,
which I thought was a real bold move
at Fresno State.
Yeah, that could have gone several directions.
Let's check your dorm.
You got a warrant.
Wow, you have a dead ET.
Yeah.
And it was a drug overdose.
Oh, this is disturbing.
uh yeah lane kiffin uh can't really wear a mask it's the one thing i wanted to of this the only
thing i wanted to point out from an otherwise completely normal alabama old miss game because what i
expect when i get alabama old miss is 63 48 with 1300 offensive yards they have that right
close to the longest game that was played yesterday uh yeah in case you want to know
Mac Jones, this is, by the way, not good for Tua.
Not good for any Miami Dolphins fan who says, yeah, we drafted a really unique talent.
I don't know how unique throwing for 400 at Alabama is anymore.
Wow.
Because Mac Jones was 28 for 32 for 417, had a pair of scores.
Guess who had all the other touchdowns?
That's Najay Harris.
Najee Harris had five TDs.
Can I complain about the broadcasting of this game for one second?
Sure.
Because it's specific to Najee Harris.
Yeah.
In the final minutes of this, did you?
did y'all find that Steve Sarkesian was a bit overpraised by the broadcast team?
He kept saying, like, oh, this was a play collars duel.
I'm like, what kind of trenchant analysis led you to stare up and down the sideline and go,
hey, I think we should give the ball to that guy?
Throw it to the good, throw it to one of the two first round receivers.
Like, oh, the first time he said it was after Jalen Waddle had this huge catch.
And I'm like, oh, really?
You figured out that you should give the ball to Jalen Waddle?
what tipped you?
Wow, you gave up the ball
the nausea Harris.
He was running for
he averaged
nine yards of carry.
That's not like,
okay,
I mean,
I don't dislike
Todd Blackledge generally.
I don't either,
but he kept doing this
over and over again
and I'm like,
it's okay to praise
the dudes who are actually doing it.
No.
I'm pretty sure
that Sark could
and has picked plays
by throwing darts
blindfolded.
It's Bama.
Like there's some
Amazon employee
who's running five
marathons a day
to get me
my light bulbs in exactly 24 hours after I ordered them and Todd Blackledge is looking at them going
man this management Jeff Bezos what a machine what a genius look at what he's built
no is that guy very odd just because it kept coming up yeah kept coming up for Bama's strongest
players who a pigeon could have pointed at that guy and said throw it to him or to take it a step
further we don't get any O line love Najee Harris is like at toward the end
end of the game is running through holes that are five yards wide he's running through boulevards you could
have planted trees in the median yeah like i i mean this i mean this real nicely i could have gained
five yards to carry i think okay three a minute but yeah yeah i could have gotten three yards
to carry i think it was bama's either next to last or the one before touchdown there are so many
it's hard to really classify there's also just like a beautiful it's the one where they like got down
the goal line had penalties moving back and then on third and goal from like the 15 they run a play
that gets in there's like a beautiful block on the edge from either a wide receiver or a tight end or
something but by the way rand just interrupt the tight ends were dominating yeah i didn't did crazy
blocking all night this game was awesome it was exactly what we want out of uh sabin versus kiffin kiffin did
all the bullshit in the world sabin hated all of it and sabin had to as always reduce himself to acting
like his opponent in order to put away
a pesky opponent.
And he has to do this every year
and you could see him realizing that.
He has to do this every year.
Kiffin doing the, what was it,
four or five fourth down calls
with like zero hesitation each time.
Let's call a fucking timeout
and let's consult the fucking Oracle.
It was, no, it's the next play.
Keep going.
And it worked every goddamn time.
And you could see Sabin through his,
he was wearing like one of the,
semi-transparent, translucent
masks. One of the bullshit masks.
So you could really, really
capture the emotions as he had
to see his, like, his most
petulant son, you know,
like, Will Mustchamp doesn't do this shit.
Will Mustamp just accepts,
you know, the discipline and like...
I lost. I want to wrestle,
Daddy. Daddy, I want to wrestle.
Yeah, whereas Kiffin, you have to
actually put him away, you know.
Yeah, like, kid, I will
choke you out. And Mustchamp's like,
no you don't have to choke me out daddy you you won you got it kiffin's like me make me eat two
marshmallows that's doing yeah that's kiffin's like i want it to turn black turn the lights off daddy
you're gonna have to do it kiffin is very very like joker with batman like you are going to
have to kill me at some point you understand that right i understand there is a story in the comics
right now where batman does try to kill joker so batman sabin the two of you you've
finally been broken by kiff and joker
welcome to batman fridays so so the panty on the head um panty on the head he can't wear
yeah at one point he had like a dj he had a d k metcalf cat uh mask on which i thought was interesting
it might have been was it two sided because one side said manning okay so he can just like shout
out old miss people which i think rules because that means that they can shout out anybody
i'm breathing into you archie right yes like yeah i'm being protected from the elements by
Alex McDaniel.
I'm wearing this mask over my face that says
Shepard Smith because
he went to Old Miss.
You can shout out any old Miss grad.
I've got my mask that says Trent Lott.
Yeah, Eggball mask, it's got to be
Elijah Moore. Yeah. We've got to have
the silhouette of the celebration
and everything.
They're going to do that too. You'll get my emotions
by putting like Chuckie Mullen's
on there and I'll go, oh man, that is such
a great tradition. That's awesome.
And then Kiffin will put Elijah Moore on there.
And then I'll be even more sold.
And then post-game, Marshall Henderson.
I hope the band does it.
I hope every member of the band stands up and crooks a leg every time they score.
Kiffin's going to piss his khakis at the Egg Bowl.
Just to establish dominance.
I did it.
It happened.
You next, Leach.
Come on.
Leach won't even notice.
No.
The common thread with the masks.
He'll be busy scoring two points.
Mm.
we can talk about that
god i still can't believe that's real
i'm gonna go back and watch that entire game for fun
yeah let me just can we put it this way
because i didn't get to see enough uh this actually happened week one k j costello
624 yards that's an cc record passing man air raid's gonna work again the cc week two
nah week three benched so i mean the air raid in the cc sure
you know and like like modern offenses it's all the mismatch and like you know
all of these concepts can work anywhere.
Air raid concepts work in the NFL.
But Mike Leach's air raid,
Mike Leach is stubborn ass, you know?
Like, that's the shit.
Like, the air raid can work in the SEC.
Mike Leach and the SEC, I don't know.
Man, I love Terry Wilson so much.
Hey, at least KJ Costello's not going to get a Stanford degree.
At least you move from the Bay Area to Starkville, baby.
I mean, it's cheaper.
I might do that.
do that too actually
I can't make too much fun of him
there's also this
oh no this is not his fault to be clear
KJ Costello had four interceptions and no TDs
okay that part maybe is a little bit on
four interceptions on 55 attempts
by the way on 55 attempts had
232 yards passing and average
4.2 yards okay the replacement
it's dude by the name of
Will Rogers
what
no lie
he's Will Rogers
the same Will Rogers
who said if you're on the right track
stay there? Yes, can I
give you this? No, no wait. You'll get
run over if you just sit there, guy.
Okay, well, he didn't do that. That's not a metaphor.
He decided to run straight toward the train
because he threw two picks and just 15 attempts.
So, he was worse.
For all that shit, I again, just blame Leach.
Because, like, they ran
very careful.
Nine carries by non-quarterbacks.
Nine rushing attempts on the day.
Nine.
70 throws.
Hey, in our defense, angry listeners fixing to type up some tweets at Stephen Godfrey at 38 Godfrey on Twitter.
It's only so easy to ascribe this shit to Leach because we've seen it before twice.
Yeah, by the way, this is awesome.
This game is incredible because not only was the score 24 to 2, which frame it.
If I take one game from me as a coach, as Mark Stubbs,
it would be this.
Like, think about this moment for Mark Stoops.
Is Mark Stoops getting all those fancy New York Times profiles by Michael Lewis?
No, is he getting his spot on 60 Minutes?
No, Mark Stoops isn't getting a spot in an airline mag.
He's not getting anything.
He's the third Stoops brother.
Mark Stoops could tweet the most problematic shit right now
and no one would even know.
No one would know where it is.
Leach gets all those headlines.
What field does he play at?
He's blue anon.
He plays in Kroger Field.
Man has to play in Kroger Field for a living with John Colapari sucking up all the air across campus.
And what does Mark Stubes do?
He beats the Genius Mike Leach 24-2 with how many yards of total offense 157?
This is not my preferred brand of football.
That's fucking beautiful.
That's incredible.
Terry Wilson went eight for 20 and one.
You know what I call that?
Old school SEC excellent.
That's what that is.
This is like one of those stories where you're like,
this man was in one car accident and trapped for a week,
but he survived drinking his own urine and eating a roadmap.
And his, like, that's this Kentucky win.
It shouldn't happen.
We survive by drinking our own pee.
It's sterile and we like the taste.
I love this.
I absolutely love this.
Except for Kyle and Hill.
Kyle and Hill's being wasted on a really crappy Mississippi State team and that's a shame.
Okay.
I think it's rude.
we don't move on to the Florida game
at this point. Oh, yeah.
We've got to discuss this.
I will point out the state of Florida is surrounded
on water by three sides. Technically, it's
always been harder to defend.
Well, they have some issues
on that front too.
Texas isn't surrounded on
I almost had you.
I almost had you. I bet you
actually thought that. So I think
I think you can judge it enough because you got
the gold. You got the Rio.
grand and
Galveston Bay. Well, it's very
angular. Like it, there is
a west, there is a north, and then
there's a west again, and then you got the Gulf on the
east. I think you can
I think you can fudge it enough. Plus clouds
are made of water, so.
He's real mad now.
You sponsored him as what you did. He had a whole thing.
I know, it's great. I did.
I did. Now it's gone. I'll do it again.
That was great. Thank you.
I've taught you well.
Speaking of plans
gone terribly awry
Oh God
Florida's defense is so bad
So bad
How bad is it
So bad
So bad
There are
There really are no depths
To this
But the most damning thing
I can say
Is that
Who was gonna give Jimbo
His quality win
Over a top five
opponent
Even in a year
Where top five
Didn't mean anything
That's right
Florida
Yay we did it y'all
I don't think
you're actually excited.
No, I'm not.
Why can't you be happy for Jimbo?
He's rich.
Jimbo, Jimbo's a part of the gentry now.
He's an opponent by class.
He's too rich to be concerned about my opinions,
especially because, I don't know,
is it bad when your defense allows 32 first downs?
That seems bad.
How many of them were on third down?
Let's ask Nick.
Oh, that's funny, because you know what?
by the way Florida went
six for nine on third down
nice
yeah you know what
A&M went 12 for 15
on third down
12 that's like a free throw
number that's a free throw
number it's literally a free throw
number it's that predictable
those throws were very expensive on every
third down did we do most of those
with blitzes incoming
yeah I think we did about nine of them
of the 12
were with pressure called
did it get there? No
no it did not
did they let you say we on the SEC
network Monday's at 7th
no but this is my show
I do a show on the
SEC network with other people
where I don't get to say we
he doesn't know the name
I know thinking out loud
live 7 p.m. on the
SEC network
what day
Monday
what day is that
that is tomorrow
Okay. Are you sure?
Positive.
Okay.
You gaslighting fools.
You're awfully sensitive tonight.
We lost to Texas A-D-M.
We, huh? Okay.
Deservedly.
Deservedly.
What is there to be mad about?
Because there is nothing that happened to Florida in this game that there were not heavy hints of in the games
against South Carolina and Old Miss.
Explain.
reader you should not have been surprised at like the scooby-doo reveal here like old miss had no problem
moving the ball for most of the game against florida south like south carolina had the last
drive that were they like inexplicably chewed up nine minutes of clock or some shit when they
needed to go fast but of note is that they were moving the ball and like in that game their first
drive of that game they marched right down the field and scored touchdown as well like
there's Florida was a little better on third down a decent better on third down against
South Carolina but they weren't good against old miss and like this this was this was not to
me oh something that was working for for Florida broke this was oh I told you to fix the toilet
two months ago and now it's really really broken really broken
also none this shit matters because you're still ranked ahead of them
are they really that's delightful that's true that's peak that's peak that's peak aggie right there
baby you didn't need this win anyway I will say by the way
shout out a little bit of praise for south carolina there Kevin harris is amazing because
we allow rushing yards and passing yards also Kevin harris had 171 yards this week against
vandy and a 41 7 win will must champ contract extension
Woo!
Let's do it!
Got a conference win!
Contract extension!
I'm doing the voice for I don't really mean it.
I did like that Dan Mullen,
Dan Mullen's takeaway from this game was...
The dumbest possible takeaway!
Gosh, sure was loud.
Dan Mullen.
Ooh, that's quite a hurdle.
Well, at least Florida had that takeaway for this game.
Sure was loud.
Sure was noisy in that there stadium.
You know what we need.
90,000 fans of the next Florida game.
it took uh roughly the 30 hours or so before before florida's president was like yeah we're
going to go stick to the cdc and the medical guidelines but thank you but i'm glad we're at the
point where but my fee fees said yeah i'm glad we're at the point where it's noises fault not
todd grantham's Todd granth um you know Todd grantham scared of loud noises why are hey a lot of people
keep hiring him on purpose it's July 10th why are you shooting fireworks off you know i have
Todd Grantham?
Stop it.
He's to look at him.
He ate the team.
Look, he's dialing up an Agap Blitz right now.
Look what you did.
God, that is the worst.
It is the worst knowing you're like,
here comes the Agat Blitz.
Oh, God, it's not going to get there.
He can't help it.
It's so noisy in there.
You should have seen him when I tried to bring him on the ferry once.
Imagine trying to put a thunder shirt on Todd Grantham.
Well, he ate the thunder shirt.
Ain't the team bus.
Ain't everything.
The man just eats everything that threatens him.
Except for third downs.
Third downs, he leaves for the opponent.
I am actually very thankful that this game did not go to overtime.
Because I'm confident Florida would have lost in overtime because they couldn't defend.
And it would have just like, it would have been a longer and different version of that.
Plus, we had a different game go to overtime and very stupid.
four of them did you
I felt so bad for Andy Wall
did you not find the first four
quarters of Texas OU
to be college football
to be sloppy enough
Big 12
confusing enough to be
Fox Sports
It's a perfect Gus Johnson game
That was beautiful awareness to work the plug in there
because he had to know this was going to get shaded
What I love about that moment
when Oklahoma
misses the kick that
misses a field goal
that should have just
ended the game
and I think
the second overtime
maybe
merciful
there's a pause
between each one of those
where his brain's like
come on Gus
say something
and it's just
fuck sports
come on
don't just look around
and say the first thing
Big 12
God damn it Gus
you're just saying
don't say Joel clatt
you know you want to
say Joel clatt
and he didn't
he's just identifying elements
that are present at the scene
and or sponsoring it.
He could have gone like,
Dallas City Council!
I think this is intentional.
This is a test of his own Gus Johnsonness.
This is...
Is there anything nearby
that I can blurt the name of
that will not hit
if I say it in the Gus Johnson voice
at a Gus Johnson moment?
What a burger!
Rickle of honey drops!
I think he also delivered
his best ever in this game oh it was killer it was fucking awesome it was magisterial i mean if you
don't expect accuracy and you just want hype there's nothing better than gus job i mean people are like
oh i don't know i just guess isn't exact gus isn't that's not what he does no it's not what the
red river shit out's about either accuracy no this is like kicking your blender because it's not
lubricating your car engine that's not what it's made for i'll tell you the stupidest thing about
this game it's the number 53 that's how many times they had sam ellinger pass
sam ellinger basically tim tibow in what ways uh in the way that he is a giant white boy you can't
throw okay you just want like sam ellinger they really should just run the single wing with
sam elliger and yet and yet because
they got to show that he's multiple.
They got to pitch him as an NFL
prospect. They got to have him
pass, which is a mistake. Because he threw
53 times in this game
for how many yards. If you
throw 53 times, I think
you should get the 300 yards.
Nope. Nope. 287.
That's basically a Pilates
class. Yeah.
Just nibbling away.
You just turn my big
beautiful Bronny fullback
who should be throwing 14 huge playoffs.
action passes a game you turn him into a nibbler who also threw two interceptions in addition to
those two TDs he did have 112 like rushing yards on 23 carries they probably should have
flipped those attempts you probably should have rode the ball 53 times what he have would he have
like passed out from exhaustion yeah but they might have won I love that this was a 98 point game
in which neither team was good at offense at all like both teams
teams passed for under
under 6.2 yards per attempt.
Both teams ran for under 4.1 yards
per attempt.
Let's see.
Yeah, it's not great.
Both teams.
Both teams.
Yeah.
Three turnovers each.
But hey, we got the number, didn't we?
Got the number.
This game had 98 points
and it still felt constipated.
I don't know how that happened.
It still felt like a game
where everybody was struggling to do anything.
I mean,
four OTs will help with that,
but damn these are not good football teams at this point neither one of them props to
oklahoma though for like multiple times trying to blow this game multiple times just like
the whole fourth quarter the over the uh the overtime mess entire game both yeah
teams for the entire game we're trying to play the game no jason's right because i feel like they
lost intent you know like when a game gets confusing is when i don't feel like either team knows
they're supposed to try to win the game that's when i know any sporting event is confusing
when i when both teams are like we we honestly don't know how to get out this field that's what i
felt like when they went four o t's i was like oh yeah they don't even like the result is irrelevant
here they both just won out of this stadium relatable as we talk to our longhorn network
friends who were working them again just get us out of here
make it stop oh yeah yeah speak speaking of speaking of make it stop hey did we think
miami really had a chance because no yeah okay good i did not and i'm sad that i was right
i mean i thought they had a little bit more of a chance as in plus 14 points but no not not a
chance to win no i i i wish that they had i was still sad i really wanted to see them rack some
shit i didn't really think they could but i was hoping they would yeah just in case you have any
hope that clemson will not be the boot stamping on your face for the rest of eternity once
trevor lawrence leaves and travis etienne again still travis etienne still underrated despite
the fact that everybody knows travis etienne's good because travis etienne is incredible we really
can't say that enough he's awesome he's the only running back in college football with his own
fast forward button. I don't know how he hits it, but he does.
I watched that GIF of him that they showed yesterday and my brain can't adjust to the fact
that it's not sped up. Yeah. No, he did that against Ohio State last year too. Yeah. The the speed
where he gets to the 40 and just you talk about guys having an extra gear, but seeing it so literally
in front of you is something you're never quite ready for. But in case you thought, oh, surely
Clemson will slow down after that
and their dynastic period will cease
I don't know they got a 6-4-250-pound
freshman quarterback coming in
DJ Yui Agalele
who's basically
the Samoan Cam Newton
That's an excellent name
Good luck
good luck because they featured him in this game
and he looks like
he looks like the next coming
of the God who will rule
so cool
good to know we can all just not pay attention
to football
and hand a championship slot to Clemson for the next four years.
It's nice to have that off our plate.
It really is.
Yeah, we could go for some nice walks.
We could.
We could take care.
Learn a new skill.
We could take care of a little business.
Podcast business?
Podcast business.
What's a business?
Podcast business.
It's just so dark.
It's a business for a podcast business for a podcast.
sell some t-shirts
yep
stopped at the fun
four times
oh my god he's got a gun
oh my god he's got a
gun gone
go ahead
do it
do your business
home field apparel
there it is
home field apparel
how we love you
that is correct
home field apparel
who this weekend
dropped their latest
that is i'm going to say this i'm going to say this and and and it does not pay me to say it all
because the punneruski shirt if it didn't say florida state i'd buy it and that means a lot
because they dropped their florida state collection where did florida state finish in the standings
by the way after all of a sudden done college football standings uh that would be the homefield
sales standings the big new saturday rankings i don't know i don't i don't look actually
because i know are you asking us i am i'm doing the read
I am.
I'm legit curious.
Okay.
Hold on.
So I think Spencer has like research assistant.
It's, it's the rest of the world.
I don't know that they've updated.
I haven't seen an updated.
I'm looking now.
They were, they were in fourth late in the day.
That sounds not right.
Yeah.
But I don't know if they ended up.
get into three or two that is correct that is great homefield apparel thanks
thanks for confirming the thing you don't know so word to add read ever i'm really sorry
connor sitting here scrolling twitter right now on homefield's account so i can look it up god damn
anyway uh i just got my new fall wardrobe as stephen godfrey calls it from homefield apparel
and may i put in a good word for those of you casting about for something nice
an octobery to buy the colorado state vintage sweatshirt when it was known as colorado agricultural
college they had a logo that i would best describe as a ruin of some type uh and it gets a
you get a very nice Halloween vibe out of this not at all a Halloween sweatshirt and of course
it is so soft as are all homefield sweatshirts that it's like being swaddled in baby
angel butts i could not possibly recommend it more
Yeah, that's it, no, that logo, the Rune logo for Colorado State, that's hot.
I am personally looking into the Hawaii rainbows, old school shirts.
I can't decide which rainbow sweatshirt to get, so you get one and I'll get one, and then we'll just trade.
Okay, this sounds good.
I was also thinking of picking up an NCAA and T because, yeah, home field, this HBCUs.
Get that on you.
It's pretty.
It's got the blue and gold.
It's absolutely lovely.
I am really hoping they get the Florida line.
I know that we're going to have to pull off all kinds of insane political capers because it's Florida.
I don't expect it to be straightforward.
I don't expect it to not involve some weird swampy shenanigans in order to get home field licensed and ready to go as a provider of fine Florida gear.
But I need that 70s logo.
We need PCP Gator is what we need.
That's right.
Oh, wow.
I forgot about that, dude.
I need PCP Gator.
I need some vintage spurious, like, you know,
like 90s extreme stuff yeah right i need the vintage 70s logo where it looks like the gator is
humping the panhandle of florida yeah it not doesn't look like it is no that's like you know
romulus and remus and the wolf and the story of rome that's yeah it's founding that's florida's
mythological basis he's he's just making sweet love to fort walton beach as one does as one does yeah we we need
that and and you need that uh so homefield which is which has been like you don't know who's like
down with us homefield apparel so the offer code is what PCP gator the offer code is not PCP
gator damn it you want me to say that I do I want you to say all kinds of things I believe the offer
code is shut down correct it's full no sure is it full cast okay there we go it's full cast
Connor and I were just talking over the weekend about, I think, the second time.
How shitty I am.
I know.
I think about the second time we did this ad read.
And I think it was Ryan that time, forgot to say the words like college football apparel or, you know, vintage or mentioned what home field made it all.
And I laughed at the thought of those long, long ago days.
Anyway, no reason.
offer code full cast 20% off your first order no PCP gator
honestly if you're listening to this show right now and you haven't bought
homefield apparel apparel what the hell man
i think people are i think people are waiting i think people are waiting to see new
schools get at it because there's we all know there's some good schools on the way but
we're not going to tell you who they are yeah you'll just have to like pay attention to big
new saturday there are some big big new schools coming up by which i mean uh new money
and programs that are new to home field apparel also i will say this in the time before there were
two things that got random strangers to come up and touch me or rub on me okay attractive ones only
two things one the beard the beard you're gonna let me have this okay all right the beard
and literally homefield shirts i've had i've had two people at least go who that shirt looks off
and rub it because they were right now what i'm hearing is that home field should also sell like
force fields because this makes me wary to wear my home field shirt in public if strangers are
going to so connor uh the home field apparel force field um and that feels like a very big 10 brand yeah
well if you don't want anybody Minnesota golden gophers force field if you don't want anybody to touch you
by the way, just let's get Northwestern on board.
And then no one will ever touch you.
Right.
I wanted to talk next about.
That's the last time Connor's ever going to say dealer's choice when it comes to an ad.
Yeah.
Sorry about that, Connor.
Podcast business concluded.
Auburn, Arkansas is what I wanted to talk about next because football is bad and dumb.
And it doesn't get much bader or dumber than the end of this game.
If you were not familiar, the end of this game involved an officiating snafu, which at this point, I disagree.
I disagree.
Okay.
Look, we're calling it an officiating snafu, but what that obscures is that Auburn consistently finds ways to do things that football people are not trained to understand.
Like, you have never seen, you have never seen someone attempt to spike those.
the ball, bobble the snap, and spike it back, spike it facing the other direction.
Like, I, I'm fine if we want to say the ref screwed up, but like, let us not ignore
Auburn's amazing capacity to take, like, the limited object we know is college football
and present it to us in new and challenging ways.
They are like modern chefs at what they do.
The Raptors test testing the electric fencing.
Yes. And now it's eating the electric fencing. How is it doing that? Because it's Auburn.
We did not predict that it would do that. We did not predict that the tiger eagles would be able to reproduce on this island. But life found a way.
Yeah. So to review the situation, it is third in one at the Arkansas 19. Auburn has the ball. There are 20 seconds left.
Auburn has, in true Auburn fashion, eaten all of its timeouts.
Auburn is down two, one.
Auburn is down by one.
It is 2827, by the way, also peak Arkansas here to be at 28, 27 with the other team driving for an unsatisfying game-winning field golf.
They were at 12 for a large portion of that game, and then they were at 18, which made me so happy.
They were at 12 for a real long-ass time, all right?
I'm comforted by Kentucky, Mississippi State ending with.
the two on one side of the ledger because for a while Arkansas had 12 and then Arkansas had
18 and I'm like this is just weird enough to be entertaining again who's like it's not like having a
five who's the it's enough to make you giggle who's the only one keeping our culture alive
kentucky football with under 200 yards of offense and winning thank god for you kentucky football
quote me who so back back to third and one at the arkansas 19 with 20 seconds to go
the uh auburn offense rolls up to the line of scrimmage bow nix takes the ball he is going to spike
it to stop the clock and when he attempts to spike it the snap goes off of his hands he fumbles
and everyone freezes because they don't know who's going to get possession and yet
bow nicks immediately a deftly snaps the ball up does the thing he is supposed to and spikes
the ball which direction is he facing at this point backwards like an idiot
Just an idiotic, a barrett insane thing to do because who on earth has ever spiked the ball backwards?
No one.
I'm telling you.
It's, sorry for innovating.
You don't have to like it, but you will see some shit you never saw before.
No, it has ever spiked the ball backwards in his football.
No, I'm with Ryan.
I'm not mad at all.
This was amazing.
But Bo Nix just decided to freestyle on the spike.
Sure.
Why not?
Nothing matters.
This is like if you tried to punt with your ass.
So then this is, this is, uh, the ball dribbles away and Arkansas attempts to recover it.
I don't know if they like clearly do.
And it doesn't really matter because ultimately the refs say we blew the play dead.
We could not like, yes, this maybe was a fumble, but we could not determine that, whatever.
But here's the best part of this.
When Bo Nix spiked the ball facing the wrong end zone.
because the snap was not clean the refs said that this was intentional grounding you're not allowed
normally to just throw the ball at your feet it's this very specific exception to uh uh to intentional
grounding and if you don't get the snap off clean you don't get to do it because of that 10 seconds
had to run off the clock which was only bad for arkansas there is nothing about the situation that
in any way shape or form hurt auburn even though there's
the ones who fucked it up beyond belief that's what made it special that's what made it beautiful war eagle
forever i'm beginning to war if i wonder if auburn jesus isn't something darker
that just just that the lord works in mysterious ways and what's more mysterious than deciding to
come up with a new way to do one of the most basic football moves and then and then because
Because, like, in a just universe, in a ball don't lie universe, what would have happened after that?
Auburn would have missed the field goal, right?
Mm-hmm.
No.
Absolutely not.
Absolutely crushed that motherfucker.
Had Anders Carlson missed a previous attempt?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, he had.
Yes.
So the ball had previously gotten the truth out of the way.
That's right.
He's cleared to tell a lot.
The ball had built up a reserve.
of truth telling goodwill yeah and then pass pass through the gates to heaven pass
through the lie detector test of heaven that's it the truth we're going to win this game on
some bullshit please pass through my son thank you for being honest oh poor arkansas no no
no arkansas is dude arkansas is back to screaming at the cc office because they rightfully
got screwed. That's way better than where they've been. Are you kidding me? Chad Morris didn't get
to get worked up about. You saw what Bo Nix said after this game, right? I did not. I don't know the
exact quote, but Bo Nix was like, yeah, man, Arkansas played really hard. And I think a lot of that
is because Chad Morris was over there recently. I think like a lot of the crew. I love Chad Morris.
I'm sorry. That's amazing.
so having given that a moment to breathe and or off gas which i think the the end of any
auburn you got to store auburn out of the fridge in a paper bag you got to let auburn
it's going to rot all the rest of your food you got to let the wind take auburn and get the
half-life down for a couple of millennia before you look at any of their best victories in recent
history because they come at the expense of both sanity and your lifespan um i'm
I don't really want, I have Florida State Notre Dame here.
I'm going to skip it.
Yeah, it was fine for a minute, a minute.
And then, yeah.
It happened.
It happened.
I just wanted to, I got two things left on the agenda.
Okay.
One, I wanted to, on a weekend when nobody played defense.
I wanted you guys, I'm just going to give you the raw numbers.
And you tell me what game it was.
Okay.
We'll start demure.
We'll start cute.
Okay.
54 if I just these are totals between the two two I was going to say are you just going to say numbers I'm going to say the two total okay but I'll get this game had a nine but I will give you okay that wasn't Mississippi State in Kentucky I'll give you the five games that I'm talking about here okay five games yeah one is North Carolina Virginia Tech another one is Texas A&M Florida that means the fifth one we're not going to be a have to get
that's fine are we doing box score bingo a little bit um another one is Alabama
old miss another one's Missouri LSU and then the last one is oh you Texas all right
we'll start demure okay 46 first downs a thousand sixty five yards total offense and 96 points
that's combined okay North Carolina no I
think that's i think that's believe that is texas no no that's a bam all in this right that is
missouri 45 ls u 41 the game where the game where Hillary shanuck the advocate photographer
who previously famous for catching the immortal photo of kevin fog about to whip jimbo fisher's nephew's
ass oh a hero on the field caught bo pelini with his head in his hands looking like he was about to die
That is the game, by the way, in the effort that
Coach Ed Ogeron called Embarrant 65-yard throw offense in 96 points.
That is Mizzou, LSU in a game where there was an actual defined, documented goal line stand, not by LSU.
That would be Mizzou absolutely whipping ass at the goal line on force straight attempts, putting LSU back and winning this game.
So that was the game, I would phrase it this way.
that was the game that featured some actual defense that was the demure game great that was the demure game
okay oh now i see what we're doing here next game next game 54 first downs good god okay this was
red river 54 first towns no 945 yards total offense so we didn't hit a thousand and 79 total points
i think that's florida a and m that is correct that is correct we're still in the the demure
category yeah okay what is the demure category that would be under a thousand yards or around
a thousand yards modest these are like hey you're not going to get that many airline
uh airline points for this trip yeah next 57 first downs good god only 897
yards total offense but 98 points that's that's red river that is correct somehow i want you to know
how unwatchable the red river rivalry was and four overtimes they still didn't get to a thousand yards
off pets right not that you're going to be racked up a whole lot of yards on o t but you figure in four
of them you would still get over a thousand no that's how ineffective this game was both long and futile
disagree on unwatchable but i i i know what it could mean to people who have standards so okay i'm
literally tweeting the sickos picture at you jason thank you in the window going yeah yeah this game
game was great he lost his other box scores didn't he uh these games were great these games were incredible
So 56 first downs
1,151 yards total offense
and 101 total points
I think that must be North Carolina
Virginia Tech, yeah
That is correct, that is correct
In a 5645 game
Where at one point VT came back from like
30 down and just made up points.
In case you want to know what the effects of COVID are on football in general,
it's that Virginia Tech can look at like a 28 like point deficit and go,
no, we got this.
We'll get back into this.
That leaves.
Virginia Tech also has like a 28 guy deficit.
Yeah.
Can we talk about that for a second?
Yeah.
That nobody's getting accurate numbers.
And no one seems to give a shit.
No one cares.
VT is rolling out two-thirds of a team every single week
and no one gives a fuck that it doesn't matter.
It just doesn't matter.
Like the NFL is the fucking NFL is adjusting itself
because like one or two guys are getting sick,
which yes, you should.
And Virginia Tech just roll in with, you know, nine players a week.
Sure.
Well, back up.
Let's talk about Florida while y'all are both here.
Yeah.
What that we had?
Was it 10 players on defense?
total who are out including two starters that's not weird i don't know out due to injury all all that i
think like the easiest way to sum it up is this because i don't know if like florida could be
telling the complete truth about every player who was out for that game um the only but like
the and you can look the nfl fucking adam shepter wakes up every morning and the first thing
he thinks is I need to tell you exactly how many players or staffers tested positive for
each NFL team and I need to tell you about all the ones that didn't like that's his reason
for getting up every day now can anybody on this podcast say with any certainty like what
the numbers for any team are right now can you say like this team has X positives last week
they had why the week before they actually not with certainty yeah i can tell you who's been
sending really yeah well i can tell you who's been sending really thorough emails with the numbers
helpfully broken down as michigan okay i can't tell you uh how they're arriving at those numbers
i would not Notre Dame has done like a pretty good job of saying this as well but like nobody
is forcing any of these schools to disclose anything so it all just sort of leaks out around
the edges and you have no idea how much of it is like you get these situations where you're like
georgia souther is missing 30 players vanderbilt's down to like 52 scholarship players why are they
miss why are they so low i don't know not going to tell you have a great day believe in jesus
your sports it's always i'm not kidding it's just really crazy that we decided like yes we're
going to play a college football season yes we're going to play it in the middle of pandemic no
At no point will we worry about what the numbers are from a, like, public information perspective for an infectious fucking disease.
Or worse.
And by the way, in which the parents, the loudest parents, come down on the side in support of all of this.
Yeah.
What?
What I am interested in seeing is this.
You see that many people in the stands on a game day, and you see that many people that
close together and I am just thinking I know someone's tracking this this is a this is a
contact tracing a cluster study waiting to happen and somebody's just sitting in the stands with
it USF already basically had to do contact tracing from their game against Notre Dame by reviewing
the game tape that's a thing that happened like I know everybody's very mad at the Titans and like
doesn't understand the the second plane for the Patriots and yeah those things might be stupid but
like what is going on in college football is just it's it's truly like I get that we have just
decided to go forward and do it and like lean into it but the level of scrutiny being applied
to it is zero it's zero it's not like it's not like we got frog boiled on this either we were
thrown directly into the boiling water and everybody just gave the thumbs up what the
fuck are we doing here man oh yeah so you're ready for the last game that's definitely
a great transition yeah yeah speaking of uncontrolled uncontrolled unmonitored and irresponsible spread
68 first downs 1,370 yards total offense 111 total points yeah that's the last that's the last game we
have left that's Alabama Ole Miss and I mentioned that only to compare what we consider
to be a historic pile of offensive production slash defensive negligence, which admittedly 68
1,370 yards tall offense and 111 total points is a big 12 level atrocity in terms of
offensive yield. I want you to know that this is but the Kachan jungle looking up at the
Everest because this still pales in comparison to 2016.
Oklahoma, Texas Tech.
Lest you forget
Baker Mayfield
going up against
Pat Mahomes
in Lubbock
in 2016
in case you forget
what a supernova
of defensive
incompetence that was.
And offensive excellence.
68 first downs
between Alabama and Old Miss.
Ha ha.
Lane's making Nick real mad.
I don't think it's 76
combined first downs mad.
Which
76 eight more that's the whole order of magnitude more standard deviation off 1,370 yards total offense between alabama and old miss on Saturday night yeah that's a lot it's not 17008 it's not 1,708 yards of total offense those are more in my opinion that's much more that's that is a good game by an offense more by a single
Okay, when you measure it in terms of entire games, it really lands.
It's an entire game more.
Also 111 points.
I think that's just this, everything you're describing to me is just a speed thing.
Like, Oklahoma and Texas Tech both played fast, and Ole Miss played fast at points,
but Bama just didn't play, like, I think the best announcements of this game was from
Roger Sherman, who I don't have the exact number pulled up, but he was basically like,
take every drive bama had and take where it starts and how far it would have to go to get a touchdown
and now like add up all those yards old miss allowed like all but 30 of those yards basically every
almost every bama drive ended in a touchdown or very fucking close to a touchdown it was it was
just like they were there was no prayer of them ever stopping them
on defense didn't matter it's still fun
god it was great and it made the
it made the onside kick made a lot more
sense but geez
okay well consider all that know this
they still scored 14 more points
than oh u texas tech with oh
with old miss's defense being
a practical non-entity being
around the error
they still scored 14 more
points
okay
yeah so what i'm saying is
nick sabin you're ready for the big
12 congratulations don't take that texas job is any day now is it going to be open
who could say
