Guys, I wanted to tell you that the reason that nobody liked LSU's fake tiger is exactly what you think it would be, which is this, that Jeff Landry, when he was asked about it, said to a boisterous crowd in Metery at an event known as Politics with a Punch.
If you get invited to Politics with a Punch in the state of Louisiana, I suggest that you attend.
Will it affirm your belief in humanity?
Whatever the opposite of that is?
No, no, just more than no further.
Will it give you a quote?
Yes, it will give you quotes, maybe legally actionable ones,
maybe ones that everyone's going to regret after,
or maybe ones that you can share, point, and laugh at,
which is exactly what I'm about to do,
because the governor of Louisiana,
who did not attend LSU, I would remind you.
And this is from
No one.
Wait, where'd he go?
He went to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
He went to...
So many things are starting to make sense about the past week.
Yes. Yes.
So if you wonder why people didn't like it,
it's because the guy who really came up with the idea,
or how's this, the one who pushed it the hardest to make it actually happen,
didn't he didn't even go here.
One of the reasons, yeah.
Mm-hmm.
It's one of the reasons.
Jeff Landry at Politics with a Punch on Monday night said the following.
Our tiger, are, we are tiger, our live tiger, unfortunately, disappointingly, was the only tiger who showed up Saturday.
I'm sorry.
That's true.
Those kids, you're betting awful big to bet those kids don't have mamas in that audience.
Yeah.
Who.
Mm-hmm.
Always listen.
If you're going to shit talk a player, always look right behind you.
If you're going to shit talk a player, maybe don't shit talk the entire LSU football team.
Gov.
Gov.
Yeah.
This is not the part, though, that made me how when I read it, which was, I had more people come up to me and they remembered Mike the Tiger more than some of the great plays in Tiger Stadium, Landry told the crowd Monday night.
Jason, none of these people are escaping the non-ball knowers accusations.
there's a lot of that going around a lot of them and as as they grew up as children seeing this it's
about tradition at the end of the day these woke people have tried to take tradition out of this country
it's tradition that built this country the tiger built this country the tiger could have used
a little more woke himself but setting that aside are we branding the entire tiger
Droppings message board community as Antifa, governor?
Tiger droppings?
You're excited to see how that goes.
I wish you look.
I don't think this is going to work for him.
I hope he has the day he deserves.
I think people are going to see through this attempt to pretend that the only objection
against the fake scab tiger is the, um, the effect that no tiger should have to,
to sit there and watch LSC.
defense, when there are also others as well.
So it is ignoring all of the very non-woke LSU fans who had every problem with this as well.
There's more.
Oh, good.
Landry said that Omar Bradley, remember the tiger in this case, the false mic is actually named Omar Bradley,
handled the commotion without a fuss saying that the trainer's wife has trained him to be
around others she got in the cage with the tiger before he was wheeled to lSU he would roll over
and she'd scratch his belly i just have to say now you're just jealous i'm a little jealous
yeah yeah there it is i think this is a pampered tiger this is this is one of those
millennial tigers with his avocado toast coddled tiger by helicopter tiger parents
back in my day we didn't cuddle the tigers we set them loose to scratch people we put them in front of a crowd of 65,000 of the drunkest, most deranged Louisianaans at the peak of their football incited fervor and then we put them in a tiny glass box and it was tradition tradition yeah that's thank you Jeff Landry you've contributed a lot to this dialogue and I'm glad you
appeared. I suggest you get in the cage with that tiger and just cuddle him up. That's what you need to do.
Just cuddle him up. It is not tradition to have some guy named Omar in a tiger cage. That is not the
tradition. The tradition is Mike and Mike doesn't want to do it anymore. So now the tradition is Mike
not attending LSU football games. So like you can't just make up a tradition and call it the
tradition on the on the prescribed advice of obviously woke veterinarians who don't think you
should go about parading tigers around in an aquarium because that's going to win you a
football game you're in trump's america you can't cuddle a tiger anymore can't get in the cage
with it jeff landry that's what i'm saying these people these people called you a bitch you need
go get in that cage
go kiss that tiger
don't let the woke mob win
yeah yeah don't let the
don't let the woke mob win
y'all got furries we got a real furry watch
I'll kiss him right in this cage
oh I feel so owned watching that guy get mauled
oh no
this will do numbers on X
it's the everything app
including watching tigers
mall the governor of Louisiana in a box
This shit, X.com. It's got every piece of you on the everything out all over the place.
All your parts are going viral.
The people of Louisiana just going, he is fighting for us and losing badly.
He's raging all right.
Maybe that's it.
He's Cajun, the tiger.
Like, you see, it's very clearly a tryhard thing.
He's trying to be an LSU person, right?
Mm-hmm.
So maybe this is part of it.
so who is the mascot of his alma mater the Louisiana the pepper pepper the raging
cajian the little mascot it's gambit but yeah it's it's cayenne that's the name of it
it has a name it does we all today just learn now that's the mascot of the the it was
originally just the basketball team I believe but he is the mascot for everyone
Um, I'm identifying Kyan as he.
I'm sure that would be an issue with Jeff Landry, right?
Uh, not for me.
Kyan can identify themselves any way they want to.
I'm just going to go based off of what I'm reading.
Okay.
Um, which refers to him as a he.
Landry will be furious that you considered this at all.
Mm-hmm.
That's good.
That's good.
He can get in a cage with me.
All mascots are boys unless they have lipstick.
That's right.
It's Mr. and Mrs. Wolf.
Yeah, not, not Adam and Steve Wolf.
Steve Wolf.
Thank you for introducing an alternate timeline where there's Adam and Steve Wolf.
These are, these are the wolf husbands.
Yeah, and they have like an address.
They're very low.
Right, guys, they do.
They've got insurance policies, their names on all kinds of legal documents, right?
They're so cute.
I saw them down at the lows the other day.
They're good.
They look good.
Healthy.
But going back to this, I haven't seen any evidence of the nominative embodiment of the University of Louisiana really doing what he's supposed to do, right?
This country's built on traditions.
Clearly, Cajuns are meant to rage, which is why, Governor Landry, I posit that Cyan, right before the game, roll up in them stands, start swinging to see, see who's what, see who's about it, right?
start beating some ass.
And then, you know, if you all want to swing back, that's fine because he's the
Raging Cajun.
No one said how that Raging was going to end, just that he was going to do it.
As long as there's some rage.
That's it.
Just go, I need to see you raging.
You're far too calm out there.
Governor, why don't you go out there and fight the Raging Cajun?
That's it.
Participate.
Cyan versus Omar, who you got?
Yeah.
You want to know who wouldn't be woke?
you after cayenne slept you the hard left mm-hmm left uh-oh yeah what
it was always thus oh shit oh god damn it they're southpaws i don't do how to stand anymore
so yeah that's the fall of the west the latest
Welcome to the shutdowns.
Welcome to the shutdown full cast.
You're listening to college football.
only podcast.
Oh,
your brand.
Yes.
I'm expanding it.
It's not just the internet's
only college football podcast.
This is college football's only podcast.
You've got to come through here
and get a permit to get to the internet.
To get to the internet.
We're the AOL of this shit.
Mm-hmm.
You come up here and you're like,
hey, can I get on the internet?
We're like, hold on.
We make the noise with our mouth.
Averaged like 2015 full cast audio quality.
Bernie,
Bernie.
Mom's got to use the phone.
Episodes over.
Do you remember at any point in your younger life being like, God,
God, she's such a bitch, she wants to talk on the phone.
I want to check AOL.
Mom, you've been on the phone for 18 minutes.
I counted.
All my friends have probably divorced me by now.
Oh, my God.
I'd almost downloaded half a photo.
It was Tony Hawk doing something cool.
No, I won't know how cool it was.
I'm never going to find that bit of anime porn ever again.
That's a lie.
That's a goddamn lie.
You know that addressed by heart, kid.
I am Spencer Hall, joined as always, by Jason Kirk, Holly Anderson, and on the ones on two's Michael Serber.
I wanted to open with a little bit of a game.
today okay because I was trying to come up with something that sort of people like to talk about
the playoff because I don't know it's one of those things it's a it's a prospect thing right
it's a market management thing where you're like hmm I have correctly predicted the 12
teams that will make it and this is somehow interesting all right it's like marginally interesting
at best but I did want to look and talk a little bit about how those 12 teams actually
kind of look if you were sort of um we're about the truth here we only spit the truth we only talk
straight game i wanted to look at those teams and go like if we only trusted the numbers and
as the internet's only football statistical podcast obviously since we're into advanced stats
and understand them all we 100% believe in all of them i wanted to look and see what they said
just in terms of like you know little slices here and there where you go are these really the top 12
teams when we're talking about the college football playoff.
And I found some surprising things.
But at the same time, I also said, you know, what if we threw in some like insane corporate
trivia as well?
Because I think a lot about the people who will rule this country.
And largely, they're CEOs and they're all fucking insane.
Not just this country, any of them, because there's a couple of international examples
that I want to bring.
So I wanted to open with playoff team.
or insane corporate CEO tail.
Wow.
Yeah.
Okay.
And these are all true.
All of them true because we would never lie to you.
Trust the numbers and we never, ever lie to you.
This is, I'm sure this game is going to work.
Mm-hmm.
It's doing a lot.
This is Warhammer levels of setup for this game.
Yes.
Yes.
It's Warhammer levels of setup.
But I'm going to, you're going to feel it out first.
Okay, I have my dice.
Okay, you have your, you have your dice.
Congratulations, Jason, you have rolled a two, which means that you get, you get playoff team statistical comparison, okay?
Just what I wanted.
I know.
This, I wanted to ask, of the top 12 teams, who has the lowest ranked offense in terms of adjusted offensive efficiency?
Of which teams?
of the top 12 teams
who are currently
if we held the playoff today
and we extended the invites
So the teams
that are in the 12
top 12 of the rankings
before tonight's rankings
which will be revealed
before this episode comes up
I will tell you based on last
week's action
this will still be
this team will still be in the top 12
okay this team will still be in there
all right
yes for sure
and and what
sorry
we're talking about
I'm a visual learner
so
which one of them has
the lowest rank in terms of adjusted offensive efficiency,
a.k.a. offensive FEI.
Well, BYU isn't particularly good at anything.
They just win a lot. So I'm going to guess BYU.
You, sir, are a genius full credit awarded BYU as of recording 47th in the nation
in terms of adjusted offensive F.E.I.
They're down there with Florida.
Oh, yeah.
They're just lucky Florida, I guess.
What a cursed concept.
Although really right now, Florida and BYU
kind of exist in terms of anti-terms, right?
Like one is a pole of the other.
I guess like, you know, they're like if Florida did their chores.
If Florida could put down the vape pen.
If Florida owned a toothbrush.
Yeah.
That's BYU.
you.
Great work, Jason.
We're going to move on to the next question, which is for Holly.
We have to switch to insane corporate CEO lore at this point.
Holly.
What Megastor's founder started his empire around the same time?
He was an active member of the Hitler youth and his own country's fascist movement.
Is this about one of the schools in the playoff?
No.
Oh, okay.
Because my immediate answer was going to be Miami, but...
So great, guess.
What, Megastore?
Mm-hmm.
Best Buy.
That's aiming high.
I think we can.
And the colors are right.
I'll give you a second shot.
The colors are right.
Walmart feels way too obvious.
That would be crazy if Sam Walton.
Yeah, I used to hang around with the furor.
I don't know any other megastores.
There is one that isn't blue and white, and it is IKEA, Ingvar Comprod.
That's blue and yellow.
This is Best Buy blue and yellow?
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah, just in case he called it the, this is one of those instances where you can actually
definitively say something in your life.
Ingvar Komprad said it was the worst decision of his life.
Yeah.
Who lose?
So brave.
Sorry.
I mean, you do have to kind of clarify.
There does come a point with me.
When did he say this?
well it's one of those things where you go yeah man who's paid for it you're like he's dead
you know shit how much you can do for it it's like when we boldly boldly condemned the dead
you're like yeah fuck that guy you're like yeah he's dead and take that ain't it yeah it is so it is
totally safe all right um we're going to move on to the next question um holly we'll give you
a football question then jason will get uh a crazy CEO lore question
What team that is currently ranked 25th in the playoff rankings also has the highest points per drive in the country.
Points per offensive drive.
This would mean that I would know who is currently ranked 25th, and I love that you think that.
25.
So I think unstoppably efficient offense, but still somehow 25th in terms of playoff ranking.
Boise's not all the way down there
Hmm
Can't be Army
Wazoo hasn't been that scory
I don't know
You have the answer
You have the answer
I had wait was it one of those
Yeah
Is it Wazoo?
It's Army
What?
Yep
Yep
That's crazy
Wait Army's ranked 25th
In the playoff rankings yeah
Oh fuck that
I agree
Fuck that
But just to show you how
Just to show you how
Indomitable
And like the Tide on the sea itself
Army's offense has been
They have the highest points per drive
Incredible
If they get it
They're going to do something with it
It might take 15 minutes
Yeah there's only going to be
Three drives per game
So yeah
That you know what
That's what was tripping me up
Yeah
So your instincts were correct
Because they're back on their
They're back on their 13 minute bullshit
They are
They are so back
That wasn't the case earlier this season
Where they were scoring very quickly often
Like they would sometimes be up 28, 35,
nothing at the half
But things got a little stick here
So they went back to the grind
Okay
Jason I'm going to give you
Another insane CEO lore question
what company's founder and current chairman
once got indicted for bank fraud
and hit and killed a 54 year old handyman
walking across the road with his car on the same day
same day
same day
Mondays
he that was after
what day of the week was it
so after leaving
the bank fraud thing
then hit a person
a handy person
yes
okay that narrows it down um is there so since in the first i'm going to attempt to negotiate here
in the first question it was teams within the top 12 which provided me a container here could i could i
could i could i get the industry of this company transport yeah i'll say transport in a little
too fast.
Please say it was a literal Wells Fargo wagon.
I will give you one other question, one other hint that I think will nail it for you.
Um, you have a direct connection to him via football fandom as a relative of his ran a football team of yours.
One of my football teams.
No way.
Yes.
Well, our listeners are about to learn something.
Yeah.
I did.
I apologize for that.
We promised this is to work for this guy and I didn't know this.
So this is a zero learning environment.
This coach is currently.
Pittsburgh. This would be Federal Express. Yes. Yes. The CEO. Are we talking about Fred? Fred.
Fred. I used to work for Fred. I didn't know this. When was this? Fred's wild, man. He's got a lot of
adventures. He's had many. What year was this? So on January 31st, 1975. Okay, that's a long time before I worked.
Fred Smith was indicted for forgery on a $2 million bank loan by a federal grand jury. The suit was filed by
Fred Smith's two half-sisters and it alleged that he had forged documents to obtain a $2 million
bank loan and that he and executives of the family's trust fund had sold stock from the fund
for a loss of 14 mil they swore out an arrest warrant for him for this I wasn't wrong about
the Miami connection just early just early yes the same evening Fred Smith was involved
in a fatal hit and run in which he killed
hell, man.
A 54-year-old handyman named George C. Sturgill.
I think you need to settle down, Fred.
Fred.
I think Fred needs to start taking cargo planes everywhere.
This is, this is, there's still more about Fred Smith.
Like, you could just, whew, by the way, all charges dismissed in that hit and run,
and he was found not guilty in the bank fraud trial.
We have to note that both for educational purposes and for legal ones.
Fred Smith was charges dismissed in both of them.
Not guilty.
Yeah.
This is before I tell you that Fred Smith, one of the stories he will tell about himself is that he took the entire payroll of FedEx that was left when they couldn't make payroll, went to Vegas, made it back plus some, and then flew back to Memphis on Monday to pay everybody.
So that's Fred Smith.
Yeah.
Once put the whole company on planes and flew it.
over to Arkansas during a tax dispute.
Yeah, that's the guy.
And yes, father of Arthur Smith, football coach.
Arkansas, the safe place to be.
That's where you want all your stuff.
I have sought exile in Arkansas.
Next.
Jason.
What nine and one team currently in the playoff top 10 carries a defensive,
efficiency rank below Bowling Green, Fresno State, Arkansas, and even lowly, Florida.
So they're currently 9 and 1?
Mm-hmm.
Currently 9-1.
And they're in the top 10.
In the top 10 playoff rank, yeah.
They would be in right now.
And they are not good at defense.
Below Bowling Green, Fresno State, Arkansas, and Florida.
I think Holly was zeroing in on Miami for a reason.
That is correct.
Not wrong, just early.
The Miami Hurricanes, I think, hanging at a solid 65th in terms of defensive efficiency.
So my Miami is a cryptocurrency claims from a few weeks back, I stand by them.
Yeah.
Big time.
You know, just being bailed up by Cam Ward.
Cam coin.
We love the stock.
Yeah, with Cam Ward, we love the stock.
The stock.
The market right now on Miami?
The stock, though, the stock on Cam Ward, bullish, diamond hands all day on Cam Ward.
Holly.
Oh, this is a good one.
What companies, what company CEO posted about how great his company was and how handsome he was for seven years?
What?
Handsome he was?
What?
Saying he looked like a Brooks Brothers model compared to the people who worked for him.
For seven years on Yahoo!
and attack critics before getting doxed in 2007.
This dude better be beautiful.
He's not.
The fact that this overlaps, again, with my time working at Yahoo, makes me wonder if I should have been paying more attention as a fresh grad.
Wow.
Yeah, industry, please.
Can we close the net a little bit?
I'll go, I'll put it on the nose, grocery stores.
A grocery store?
Mm-hmm.
Used to post about how ever...
What?
Yeah.
No, wait, what kind of Yahoo forums was he posting on?
Was he in the beauty forums?
Was he just like brigating the GI Joe forums?
What was happening here?
This is usually in articles about his company in the comments beneath them.
What in God's name?
God, they're all, everybody who runs a grocery store chain is such an evil piece of shit that it's hard to narrow it down.
So let's just say, uh, whoever it is that owns Ralph's.
Is his name Ralph?
His name is not Ralph.
His name is John.
And I'm going to quote from his own website.
Am I right?
Uh, no.
this was a costly
an unpleasant battle
for Whole Foods
and a difficult time
for me personally
the SEC
launched an investigation
of me for my postings
on the Yahoo financial
bulletin boards
under the screen name
Rahudib
although I was posting
from a personal account
this experience taught me
that my actions
are always associated
with Whole Foods
yeah John Mac
yeah because he sounds like
a whole bitch
John Mackey
on there
posting and when
when he was caught
did not admit it
but instead claimed
that he was George W. Bush
posting under an alt
in what year?
Oh this is like 2007
this was some outrageous
relatively early internet
behavior.
You know what I would buy that
so claimed I was the president
or not like that wasn't me
that was the president?
Yes that the president was spending time
Wait was he claiming
Okay, was the alt, where was he doing this claiming from? Was he doing the claiming as himself or was he doing the claiming? Was the alt going around going, I'm W? I'm W. And then when evidence in the hearings regarding his public statements about Whole Foods was considered admissible evidence, he was forced to in court admit that it was him. So I want you to know, not only was this man a true poster, he did not admit his alt until the threat of federal prosecution emerged. And
then and only then did he give up the gig a dick yes um true poster 100% yeah
we stand on the shoulders of giants yeah scuffing up their shoulder pads um
holly i would normally go to you but i want to hand this one to server for reasons okay okay
server you game okay okay give it to me okay okay okay give it to me okay okay okay well
What team, what team, if we based everything.
I don't know anything about football.
Okay, that's great.
That's great.
Do it for baby.
Neither does this football team.
What team, if we just based everything on possession based efficiency minus garbage time,
aka the stat known as FEI, okay, we'd be sitting in the top 12 right now at 12.
At 12.
It's a shocking name, I will tell you that.
Well, you've picked me.
So there's one of
There's one of only a few that I would imagine
Yes
I'm gonna say
Clemson
But is that right
Swap it, South Carolina
That is correct
I knew that is correct
Yeah
South Carolina
12th in offensive FBI
Somehow which if you've watched
South Carolina
Is mind blowing
I don't know man
I like South Carolina
No really fucking good
They're pretty good.
They're pretty good.
I just didn't think they were that good in that regard.
It's just,
they're a couple,
like, man,
it sucks to be one of those teams that can say like,
well,
we're a couple plays away,
but they are really a couple plays away.
Right.
From having, like,
on the best season that they've ever had,
like not,
we're including the spurier years there.
Like,
they're on one right now.
Um,
they just had a couple bad breaks,
but they're really good.
And like that,
that Nick Arbor guy has 99 speed on the,
the video game so that that translates in some way right well listen when i put him in the
wild cat it absolutely counts right um they are the boxer who the boxer or the fighter who gets cut
right the guy who's like yeah he was winning until the second round and all of a sudden the
guy got a weird leg kick off and then he's got like half his skull flesh missing right like that's
the guy they're like got to stop the fight that's poor south carolina what is skull flesh you know like
just taking half the skin on his head yeah okay skull flesh south
sounded better in my head.
When you got a little bit of skin flopping around up there.
Yeah.
When you have one of those cuts that everyone's like, that's disgusting, I can barely watch.
And they're like, share, share, share, post.
Like.
Yeah.
Oh, I can't watch it.
Rewind, rewind, rewind.
Yeah.
So that's it.
If you want to know, like, hey, who's the team?
What is like the six win team that you would absolutely not fuck with or the five win team
that you would absolutely not fuck with?
South Carolina, I don't, I don't want any part of them.
Terrifying right now.
all right
holly
this is a real good one
man
Ryan's not here but the saw puppet
environment sure is
selling up with an unidentified liquid
well
speaking of liquid
uh-oh
man's got some assets and he took them with him
because I want you to know what company
this is an online company
okay digital property
uh with a warehouse composed
What former company's former CEO
Recently, and I mean as in
2024, fled to Dubai
claiming the government of Venezuela has a $25
billion bounty on his head.
Digital company with a warehouse component
And it's not Amazon?
I'm going to feel stupid about this, aren't I?
No, not at all.
I had no idea.
What is a digital company with a warehouse?
That sounds like business solutions for a digital age.
I've put this poorly.
It's an online.
retailer.
And I will tell.
Warehouse?
Yes.
I'm so confused by the premise of the clue that I can't get to the question.
That's okay.
You can't be blamed because I presented it poorly.
I will tell you it is Patrick Byrne, the longtime CEO of Overstock.com, who is currently
in Dubai because he says someone's trying to kill him and then told everyone that someone's
trying to kill him.
Yes.
I do have a football question, though, for you, which is this.
one of my favorite advanced stats is special teams efficiency like who's the best at special teams because it generally correlates with teams that aren't really that good because you get a lot of practice for instance the current number two in special teams efficiency is Florida State University who we would remind everybody has one win this year everybody Florida State has one win this year remind the babies how you calculate special teams efficiency again um I could do that but I have to look at
it up.
Just reading the number from...
I'm just reading number.
Where can people go to look at these stats if they want to?
I am currently using BCF toys, which is Framo's massive collection of stats if you wanted to work
on special teams and how to calculate it.
It would be the relative strength of opponent special teams, and it's the general strength of opponent special
teams and it's the difference between oh boy this gets really technical you can go read it for
yourself then yes thank you for giving the listener zero frame of reference for what this
answer is yes net special i can read it it's pretty bad just it's field goal efficiency
versus opponent field goal efficiency punt efficiency versus punt return of it and punt return
efficiency uh our possession value per non garbage time punt
kickoff efficiency and kickoff return efficiency minus non-garbage time, all averaged into one number.
I don't know.
Okay.
I haven't asked the question.
The question is, there's only one current playoff selection right now, as of recording, in the top ten, who is a top ten team in terms of special team's efficiency?
Only one.
Who is it?
Tennessee.
You know, Tennessee is really cool because they have, like, what we've been saying about all of them, the numbers back up, right?
Like their defense efficiency is crazy.
They're running efficiency is pretty good.
Passing is something else, right?
Like, it backs up exactly what we've been saying.
It's not Tennessee, though.
The only top 10 team in the playoff that is also a top 10 team in terms of special teams efficiency is BYU.
That's it.
you know so when somebody says hey man listen if you're in the playoff special teams
it's the third phase of the game they're they're important champions do special teams
you go yeah that's like 10% true so that's the thing biu's good at that is that is
you can honestly say what are they good at you go they're great at special teams I would
fucking take it I've watched Clemson get six field goals blocked in the last four games
three games, six field goals.
Nolan Hooser is a freshman kicker who has not missed a field goal, but has six misses
because they have all been blocked from the left side of the offensive line.
No one has asked about this.
No one has posted about this.
No one is doing anything about it.
When it happened at Virginia Tech, Davo went to the kicker and was like, get it up higher.
And I'm like, I watched him warm up next.
to someone who used to play soccer
for Clemson before the game
and she's like, he's fucking
awesome. Everything he does is perfect.
I played with his parents at Clemson.
And I'm like, yeah, he looks great. What's happening?
But the adjustment seems to be
he needs to kick the ball higher.
We can delete all this, but I am
not okay. No, we're leaving this in.
I haven't seen Clemson
get six kicks blocked in my life.
now I've definitely seen six like I don't I don't fucking get it um interesting profile here by the way has this been a problem for Clemson um consistently over the last couple of years fuck no like not not like this like it has have we gotten a kicked blocked here there maybe but I don't remember like every time we line up to kick it is will this get blocked that's not a feeling I've ever had before but it is a feeling I've ever had before but it is a feeling.
now. Like, in the Louisville game, all the stupid shit dabbo was doing doesn't fucking matter. And it
is normal. It's almost like he does not realize the kicks are being blocked. And he's
continuing on as if they'll fix the scoreboard later. Like, I don't under, like, maybe has it been
a thing? Tell me. Because we've had a shitty kicker the last couple of years who hasn't made kicks.
But this is the first one that's gotten them all blocked. We had a, I don't know if you were watching any
of these games. No reason that you really should have been. We had a haunted kicker for a couple
weeks. Sir, did you see anything about what happened to Tennessee's freshman kicker, Max
Gilbert, this year? No, who got him? So, well, so here was the weird thing. And I'm going to have
to back up the numbers because they've been updated since. But up through the Alabama game,
he missed one kick
he missed like a
50 something yarder against
NC State in week two
and other than that had been 100%
up through the Alabama game
he had also missed
no extra points
up through the Alabama game
during the Alabama game
he suddenly went one for three and two of these were,
two of these were 50-yarders.
The two that he missed were 50 yards.
And he is a true freshman.
And then the next week against Kentucky,
and thank God it was Kentucky because we still won anyway,
he went 0 for three on field goals and they were all under 50 yards.
There was like a 30-something and two 40-somethings.
And he just,
he straight up after missing one field goal the entire season,
he missed all of them at Kentucky
which also happened to be
like Halloween weekend
and we were all just like
and then the next week he comes right back
at Mississippi State
and is four for four including a career long
and three for three on extra points
like nothing happened but for two weeks
this kid was haunted
it was so weird and now it's fine
I think I well I think
Nolan Hoosier has it because like he was he had the
almost the exact same true character. Are we dealing
with a ring situation here? Yeah like or is this
and it follows. Did oh oh oh is there's a
freshman? So these kids. Yes he's a he's a true freshman. Y'all
they're missing. They're falling in love. That's the problem. You're
absolutely right. These well it's adorable but it's
unfortunate because Nolan Hoosers is a really good kicker and sounds like
it sounds like Tennessee's kicker is very good too. Well it follows Lord just somebody
else has to bone, right?
Like, I'm sure the soundtracks of their lives are fucking badass right now, but
somewhat, like, kiss another kicker.
Buddy, I need you to kiss me.
It's a football thing.
It's for Clemson reasons.
It's for Clemson.
Robert Gunn, kiss Nolan.
They, listen.
Make out.
What if you find a, could he find some premise to kiss another team's, say, it sounds like, correct
me if I'm wrong, I'm not, I'm not a scientist here.
it sounds like, from what I understand of the lore, he's going to have to find some premise
under which to kiss another team's kicker? Well, see, here's my thing. Robert Gunn is the kickoff
specialist, and that's all he's really doing for the Tigers right now. Like, efficiency-wise,
just like, no one else on the schedule, it really matters what happens to them from here on
out. But like, you know, Robert could essentially take, you know, just go ahead and be followed for a while.
So what if he kissed Roberts?
And we keep Robert good and moving.
And then when the pit game comes,
Robert.
Robert goes and makes eyes at the pit sideline.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get one of those safeties on kickoff coverage.
And then you can kind of just or yeah,
because after that,
it's got to be at the pit game because after that,
you all have the Citadel and the Gamecocks.
And that's just going to keep everything a little too close to home.
Yep.
Bingo.
You need to put some distance.
Yeah.
We'll probably never play pit.
again after this season so yeah good point make out you need to because i don't think pit comes back
ooh i forgot what i forgot what pit does later on this you might want to watch your asses
when like pit plays louisville the following week but after that i think you're good you can keep
this thing confined to the northeast probably so trying to keep things confined or transfer it from
Pitt College to the NFL.
Well, see, the transfer portal really makes a mess of this whole, this whole thing.
No, no, no.
I mean, you go give it to an NFL kicker.
Because of the portal, you can't possibly keep track of which kickers are kissing
each other.
Yeah.
That's the main, it's the main complaint for me.
I will say, though.
That's probably why they haven't made any more movies because they lost track.
Yeah.
It's a serious argument to be made that the ACC has somehow managed to contain its own, like,
illnesses within the conference for decades at this point.
So we call it pit follows.
Yeah.
God.
Look behind you.
It's just a guy holding fries.
He won't stop.
Dude, if it's that one who busts into the beach house, but he's got like a giant
sandwich with French fries, I'd feel a lot better.
Yeah.
You'd be like, mm, gonna die.
Mm, sandwich.
Sandwich.
Sandwich.
It's like, this distended and carved into horrible
positions on the beach, but you're holding a giant sandwich.
These were hand cut.
Not bad.
That's right.
Is that aioly?
The monster is a monster.
Oh, no! The monster brings aioly.
I'm not going to bother posing this question to anybody, but Spencer, because it feels
like what Ryan would do if he was here. Spencer, would you eat food you found on a
dead friend if it was wrapped?
Not factory sealed, but
just wrapped, like in wax paper from a butcher shop.
Is it what they would want?
I'm going to need more context.
Sandwich?
Like, you find your friend dead, but you're hungry.
A sandwich would not be worth it.
A sandwich would not be worth it.
Worth what?
What are you afraid of?
Getting over the trauma of finding my friend dead.
Okay, what if it was factory sealed like a little Debbie oatmeal cream pie situation?
I'm thinking about it.
Okay.
I'm thinking about it.
What if they had a note that was like, this is, this is my oatmeal cream pie?
what if it was a banana moon pie
yeah
yeah I would
I would eat a banana
and you know what
my friends would want that for me
there's the line
we found it thank you
yeah they would take it
okay
I have one last question
this one's for Jason
okay
what company's erratic founder
and former CEO
once took out a Super Bowl ad
mocking Tibetan independence movements
to advertise that company
company. I am going, uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was like, it was like a late 90s, early
2000s thing. I was going to say, were we blogging when this happened? I feel like I'd remember.
Oh, this is far, this is far more recent than you want it to be. But still, like saying free Tibet,
it was like a way to like just mock people who believe in causes in our protesting things.
It was like, it was kind of like saying, I save the spotted out, you know, it was just like a way for
people who don't care about causes to mock people who do have causes.
So there was a free to bet joke in a Super Bowl ad at some point.
Was this like a free to bet with purchase of medium to bet situation?
It wasn't that good.
You know where it's free to bet is if no, we can't say bet.
Fuck, damn, man.
Oh, that was so good.
That would have been good.
It was only, it was a mere 13 years ago in 2011.
I have shared the ad for you.
because it's even funnier when I tell you
that it was Andrew Mason of Groupon
Groupon
Groupon you don't need to be doing all that
Oh I got to add
You're at like a 7 and I need you to be at like a 3
Mm-hmm
At all times
He had many other eccentricities
But if you watch that ad
You go, I couldn't be that weird
And callous and off tone
You'd be wrong
Is Groupon still in the league?
Yep
Rupon.
It's only presumably distancing itself from Timothy Hutton talking about how the most
important part of the Tibetan independence discussion and the rebellion would be fish curry.
Oh boy.
That's bad business.
But do you know what isn't bad business?
Podcast business.
What's some business?
Podcast business.
Got some business.
Podcast business had to do the song.
unlike LSU's fake tiger
That is the real song
That's correct
This is the point where we do our business
Sounds like we all
This full cast
And every full cast
Is brought to you
By prize picks
Tell them about it, Spencer
I would love to tell them about
Price picks
It's the best place to get real money
sports action with over 10 million members, billions of dollars and awarded winnings.
Spencer, don't you mean more than 10 million members?
I do now, yeah, with over, more than, more, more, more.
That's all you have to do is pick more or the bad.
10 million members.
Less on at least two players for a shot to win.
After 100 times your cash, you could run your game all season.
long on prize picks you can do things like when you see cam ward you can select more you still
select more i think that's still a more pick i think that's definitely a more especially given the
fact that miami's kind of butt on defense right that's a more a kind of bid you should 100%
when a score hits your eye like a big pizza pie if you're miami's defense you select that's a more
on uh on cam ward because he's going to need to throw more because miami's not stopping anybody that's also
a danger in and around the beaches of Miami, probably.
Probably.
A moray.
Yeah, but it's just that easy.
Me, simple caveman.
I'm at the eel.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Not safe sex.
Let's see, moray eel habitat map.
Let's find out.
Wow, you were dead on.
Yeah?
Yeah.
There are mores off the coast of Miami?
They're all throughout the Caribbean, the Gulf all around Florida.
Holly was dead on
Holly knows eels
That's for certain
Thank you
Thank you
We've learned two things today
That prize picks
Is the home
Of real money sports action
And that I am an eel prodigy
And that Holly is an eelophile
Lissan eel gave
Lyson eel
Shit
Jesus
I love how versatile
That term is
It's
You know
I think that's what
That's what made it
capable of sweeping
in such a wide, such a wide coalition of peoples was it's, it's applicability to all these star
systems. Yeah. Like we could use it every episode and never run out. You can download the app today
and use full cast to get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup. That's right. With
just $5, you can get $50 instantly after you play your first lineup. All you need to do,
download the app today and use full cast. Hey, Spencer.
Your game is over.
I'm sorry, were you going to make more Dune jokes?
Because I can let that happen.
No, let's move.
Okay.
All right.
Your game is over.
Ryan's game has just begun chain link walls descending around you.
Uh-oh.
Creepy saw puppet music.
But Ryan's not here.
It's your turn.
It's your turn.
I thought we were safe.
Ryan's not here, but it is my turn to play our prize picks sponsored minigame, more or less,
mascot edition.
They've been in the news lately.
I don't know if you've been following,
but they've mascots have been in the news lately,
says Ryan.
From the following pairs of live mascots,
says Ryan,
identify which one there has been more of
in that school's history.
So, you know,
however many,
you know,
how many Butler bulldogs have there been,
you know,
versus how many Yale bulldogs have there been.
Right.
We everybody clear on the concept?
Mm-hmm.
All right.
I'm going to start with Cerber
because he is first on my screen
and also because
it is a South Carolina question.
Serber, throughout
history, have there been more
of South Carolina's
Sir Big Spur
or Southern Cal's
traveler? More birds
or more horses?
I'm going to say
more horses.
You are correct. There have been seven
Sir's Big Spur
and nine
travelers in the history of these programs.
The horses keep running away, I guess.
That's the thing about horses.
Can't blame them.
Ran away to join the water circus.
I mean, you called him traveler.
What's he going to do, stand still?
He's not Cedarer.
Spencer, let's come home to the SEC.
Have there been more throughout history of Auburn's War Eagle
or LSU's Mike's the Tiger?
I think there's been
I think we're on Mike 6 or 7
So I have to determine whether there have been
More
I'm going to go and say that there have been more
Mike's than Wars Eagles
You are incorrect but not by much
We are currently on Mike 7
There have been eight Auburn War Eagles
Yeah I just meant there have been more mics
Definitely more tigers than Auburn's had
The thing with the war eagles
is they have had multiple eagles at a time.
They're really cooking the books that way.
Which, you know, what do you expect from those people?
Jason, let's take a fine rivalry matchup
and a real-life matchup and bring it into the game.
Have there been more bevos from Texas
or Uggas from Georgia?
So there have been,
if I recall correctly,
about 250,000 uggas.
I don't know if there have ever been that many cows,
so I will say more uggas.
Texas is a wily bunch.
There have been,
I guess this is probably due to their propensity
to cooking and eating large game.
There have been 15 bevos,
and this cannot be right,
but Ryan says only 11 uggas.
At once.
Yeah, that's got to be what he means.
yeah that's actually that's actually way worse because the bebo's been around a lot longer
yeah yeah all right uh server got his correct so spencer and jason i'm going to give you guys
each one more uh bonus question to redeem yourselves in the eyes of i don't know
animalia spencer have there been more of arkansas's tusk or unc's ramsies which i love
that they gave the Ram that name.
I think Ramseys has been a thing longer than Tusk,
so I'm going to go that there's been more Ramsey's.
This is a blowout.
There have been 21 of UNC's Ramesses
and six of Arkansas's Tusks.
Yep, but both have committed murder.
Tusk keeps killing his handlers.
Ramsey's is killed.
If Tusk has ever killed his handlers in real life,
I'm sorry.
Just seems like something he would do.
Jason, final question.
More of Colorado's Ralphie or Texas A&M's Revely.
Well, Ms. Rev is more a vessel for the spirit of the original collie.
I would argue it is still one contiguous Rev, continuous, and or contiguous both.
So I am going to say Ralphie because the office of Rev has never been very.
in that way.
Spiritually, you are correct, but in terms of the vessels themselves, there have been 10
Ms. Reves to six Ms. Ralphies.
I would just say, theoretically, I would disagree with Wikipedia here.
Yeah.
No, I'm with you.
That concludes today's more or less, more or less, which brings us to anyone, anyone, anyone?

four point five star ratings
all over the place good reviews
everyone says it's good
I agree it's good
it's also an audio book
maybe you're traveling maybe you need something to listen to
Maybe your team sucks, and you don't want to hear about football anymore.
You came to the right podcast, first of all, but also we have another audio option for you.
A audiobook, in fact, includes, as someone asked on Blue Sky the other day, they said, that guitar, that could only be Michael Serber.
And I said, that's right, that's right.
L. Serberino?
The ominous youth pastor guitar.
That is none other than Cerber on the strings.
It me.
Hell is the world without you is the name of that book.
I just gave a copy to somebody yesterday
It's already the holidays
Literally my wife
My wife has been listening in the car
On her way to and from work
For the past week
And she comes home every day
And wants to talk to me about it
And that's cool
Because I agree that this book is awesome
Is she like
That was a sick riff
Yeah
Every time she's like
Well first off you're great
Nailed it baby
The one that goes
Brang
Yeah
I'm just shredding.
You know, it took Jason saying that to make me realize where I've heard it from.
Server, did you ever watch Clarissa explains it all?
Yes, yeah.
You remember when Sam comes in the window?
Yeah.
That's what that reminds me of, and I didn't figure it out until just now.
Probably burned in my brain from Nick at night, honestly.
Yeah.
Hi, sir, hi, Clarissa.
There are a lot of sitcoms with.
There's one I'm thinking of as well.
I can't place it, but it has, like, pretty.
similar guitars, John.
A full house always did that.
Like at the end of a really touching scene,
it would just be like,
bering.
Thank you, supportive emotional guitar.
Thanks, John Stamos.
We should have a running competition
where whoever wins that week's trivia game
gets to have a riff announce them.
I always wanted the riff and the noise
from home improvement, right?
Brum, bum, brum, brim.
Oh, brang!
Yeah.
Classic.
Maybe we should all just
Well, actually Holly's done this for a while
Bring a musical instrument
So I guess we could just bring that back
Did I just hear a rooster?
Yeah, the neighbors have one of those
Oh, that's new
Yeah
Or new to the show
No, it's, y'all haven't heard that thing before?
Not on the show, I don't think
That's our, that's a debut
Interesting
What time does he think it is, I guess is my question
You know what time it is?
You know what time it is?
You know what time it is?
No, no, no, that roosters are reminding us
Time to be Vanderbill again
No, it's time to wake up and subscribe to Channel 6.
That's right, the newsletter that Holly Anderson and I put out, two things a week.
That's me.
Yes, in your inbox, including during the season, the top whatever, our ranking of, whatever teams we want to rank based on how they're currently doing what their vibe is, or maybe just a thing we like, because I put a sleep mask in it this week because sleep masks absolutely rule.
Also, we're sick to death and writing about Ohio State, so quit asking.
Yeah, they're good.
what else do you want i was told that the segment about dot horse domains on a full cast a couple weeks
ago was too long by a reader who doesn't pay and i am retorting by creating an entire dot horse
newsletter that he can't read tell us we won't do it we will channel good business yes all right
is it time to look at the schedule y'all never heard this thing before no no that's funny
No, I guess today he's just cranking, man.
He's got a clarion call.
The guy's just like, fuck it, man.
I got to weigh in.
It's probably because all that stuff we said about South Carolina.
He's mad about special teams efficiency.
He is.
He's like, you didn't even fucking explain it.
He's all fired up about those teams efficiency.
You pointed out South Carolina has three losses.
Solidarity.
It pissed me right off.
Also, when you hear the rooster folks at home,
I know that there is a mental image of me living out in the wilderness on the hills and
the middle of nowhere like no this is burb-ass burbs there's a fucking rooster i don't know what to tell you
there's there's multiple malls very close to your house there is yeah there is a public's in
my neighborhood like take the rooster to the publics and just like set it set it free i would love to
put it in the produce department oh look whale burr it's eating the lylgrams
speaking of a feast a visual feast yeah come on come on come on
whole asset. Segway!
We should look at the schedule, because there's a feast of college football coming up this
week.
When you yell Segway, I picture someone will bring you a segue.
Yeah, Segway.
Then you promptly write off a cliff.
Ride it off a cliff, just like the owner.
The founder of Segway would have wanted.
Yeah.
The, uh, if he weren't dead from writing a Segway off a cliff.
Segway too hard.
That's what he loved.
Somebody saw him do it too.
this was like it was on some like english cliff side and someone with
yeah someone walking their dog saw him do it oh oh it wasn't like recorded for
posterity no it was not it was not like watch me boldly used the
oh here's okay i don't know if he was like trying to like skim the edge of the quiff
the cliff for purple coins or what but at what point writing a segue towards a cliff
would you just hop off
um yeah i don't know how fast you would have to be going right was he just hauling ass they don't go that
fast do they um he was an older gentleman he was 62 so it might have been a felman louise situation
might have been um he was also they don't believe it to be a suspicious death uh right
they didn't believe yeah so this guy who owned segue he wasn't the
founder. He was a guy who bought it because he thought it was a good idea, which makes it even
kind of, oh, I'm sorry, he died because he gave way to a dog walker. He was like, oh, let me,
let me reverse my segue. So he wasn't looking. He died from being too polite. This is really
an Echorus situation, isn't it? Yeah. Humans were not meant to stand still that quickly.
stood too fast to the sun
Roll on, Captain Segway
This said he had like
But he's got to worry about rolling off
According to the week he had like a rugged off-road
Segway and I'm like, I'd say so
Well, does what it says on the tin
It did go off-road in a very rugged fashion
God damn
You got to be thinking as you're going down
And you're like, this is, this is so English even I can't steam.
Right.
I'd be so mad just until, I mean, until I hit water, which is fundamentally concrete at that height, I'd be so mad.
I'm probably thinking like, oh, man, you know how many teenagers are going to buy segways just to do epic stunts now?
Yeah, I would at least try to do a kickflip if I'm going to die anyway.
If somebody's watching, like, I'm going to try and do some 1080 shit.
Like, like, every 19 year old heard about that, they were like, oh, segment.
ways are dangerous. Awesome. Awesome.
Just know, by the way, that if I do this, it will be for Tony Hawk. That's it.
The upcoming week in college football, I don't really see anything on this Tuesday
night or Wednesday night. I thought you're skipping the whole thing. I just, I don't,
that's a lot of Mac and the Mac is an absolute. There's a bowl eligibility tilt between Western
Michigan and Bowling Green. It'll be decided by the time you all hear this. Yeah, this is just
The Mac this season is just a rat king of teams, man.
Just all their tails tied out.
Every year.
Every year.
Every year.
But yeah, but this year, too.
Yeah, the Mac has a bunch of teams that all have multiple losses.
Anyway, let's talk about the SEC.
That's correct.
Let's talk about a conference work.
Let's talk about a real conference.
The Mac confusing.
With clear winners and losers.
Yeah.
The Mac confusing, baffling, mediocre.
The SEC with same number.
number of losses. Competition.
I can't put up with the besmirchment of the Toledo rockets in this fashion.
She can't happen.
On Friday, I'm going to try to get my boys ready for our 8 p.m. tilt against UTSA,
the mean green.
We had a real tough week.
Army's very mean, and they don't let you hold the ball.
I think the chief flaw in our game plan was letting them have the ball.
So we're going to try to not let UTSA have the ball.
and we're going to try to score.
I know.
This is advanced math, crazy football jargon,
but that's what we're going to do.
How do you feel about the over-under
in this game being 73?
More.
I wonder if the thing there is you didn't get to play much football last week,
so Vegas is like these fellas are going to try to play a lot of football.
They got rollover points.
At the same time, my Colorado State Rams are hosting Wyoming.
Granted, we're already bowl eligible,
so the pressure's off us,
but we are undefeated in conference,
technically with a shot at the playoff.
Hey, coach, way to go.
Sounds like one of you has a superior group of five team wearing green.
Interesting.
You know,
we just take it one week at a time.
That's what we do.
And I really respect what Coach Kirk is done.
Just look at the numbers.
Just look at the numbers.
That's all right.
You know, we're just going to keep swinging.
I just want to give you something to aim for.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
Spencer, is that swing as in swing as in a miss or?
No, man, swinging as in a one and a two and a three.
Swing dancing?
That's probably the problem.
I thought that would be supposed to that kind of devilry.
That's not real jazz.
There's just like 27 years out of date, coach.
You got to update that offense a little bit.
We play for the, yeah, we play for the music, not the people.
And if you all want to join us on that journey, you're more than welcome to.
Yeah, because ZootSuit Riot was for the people.
Some people.
Some people, yeah.
I suppose that's true.
Noon on Saturday.
I'm just going to go ahead and we don't have this.
This is the EDSBSBSB special.
Clemson at Pitt.
ACC. Steaks.
A big game.
Make the kickers kiss.
Yeah.
of make him kiss
Clemson at Pitt
You can't spell
Acresher without kiss
That's kind of not true
But you believe me for a second
Yeah
You can't spell
You can't spell Pittsburgh
Without spit
Mm-hmm
That is very true
You can't spell
Clemson Pittsburgh
Without clasp
You can't
You know if you put these together
It'd be like Clemspit
Oh
Yeah
Listen you need to stay woke
because you can't spell Accurure without cis.
Huh?
Huh?
See?
Oh, you've been banned from X.
Yeah.
Can't post that one on X.
The everything app.
Except that.
Shit, we forgot to say in podcast business that we were buying the Washington Post.
We are buying the Washington Post.
We are putting together a group of investors.
Also, a podcast business.
Everyone asking us to join threads.
We're not going to do this.
No.
No.
Fuck.
No.
My immediate question to everyone there is, are you on threads?
How do you know if you're on threads?
I'm on Instagram and I see a notification telling me to look at threads and then I'm like, okay.
Every time I, but I keep falling in that trap because of where they put that notification, which I know is what they're doing.
And every time I click over, it is some insane white woman shit.
I'll just say it's, I am becoming all in on blue sky.
And I find nothing more tiresome than white people going, ugh, white people, but threads has made me overcome.
that threats has made me
racist against myself.
I mean, listen,
if last week didn't already
made me racist against it.
I will tell you this,
does blue sky have the juice answer?
The last mention I have
also tags Holly
and it's from somebody
who is telling us
that there is such a thing
as Ranch Nog,
Hidden Valley's Ranch Nog.
Does it have the gas,
friends,
Chewy, we're home.
We're home.
That's where it's at.
Also, there's really.
don't act like it got good when we got there or that's 100% true i'm sorry my presence is my
present it'll be interesting to see who dog piles on spencer that'll be a that's all right bring it
big boy that'll be a fun game also at noon a fun game texas at arkansas um if you want
i don't know that handoff buddy thank you texas arkansas quite the classic i don't care if it's
even 30 nothing these two teams for some reason just absolutely fucking hate each other
Swack back, baby.
Yeah, this is some serious swack historical beef, right?
This is also, as we mentioned on Saturday night, the start of a body blow gauntlet for Texas heading into what is a completely unremarkable non-rivalry game in week 13.
Yeah, this is a watch your ass special.
Sorry, it is.
They got two of those games in a row that I don't think they're.
going to lose, but I think they're going to be really in need of ice baths afterwards. Yeah.
And then they have to go to Kyle Field. That sucks, man. It does suck because then you have to face the
Mike Elko team. The Mike Elko team is all about them hammers. Like you weren't, you weren't bruised up
enough from Arkansas and Kentucky back to back. Do you know how much it takes for me to feel sorry for
Texas? Yeah. Yeah. Could not be me having to play, because we have to play Georgia and Vanderbilt.
I don't know why I'm feeling sorry for anybody.
did you hear my dad creep into my my voice that was that was terrifying he was
puppeting uh yeah nothing happening at 3 30 nothing happening whatsoever let's take a close look
nope we could skip right past it what are we trying to divert attention from just right past it

the classic BC SMU rivalry
That's it wasn't this
The Dallas bowl game that got canceled
BC was in that one
There we go, that's their beef
Yeah
You want to know a game where I know something
Fucked up and stupid is going to happen
Missouri at South Carolina
That's it
Stupid
Yes
Extremely
That whole football game's going to be stupid
That whole thing
Whatever the outcome is
Will it be stupider than Nebraska USC at the same time
Impossible
especially because Nebraska.
No, Nebraska USC has the potential to get weird
because we had some midweek HR news.
Hey, y'all.
It's time to stabilize things here at Nebraska.
Let's bring in Dana.
For those of you who did not read Channel 6's newsletter this week,
A, shame on you.
B, we have helpfully mapped the distance from Nebraska Stadium
to an array of nearby casinos for Dana.
all available in case you don't understand why he took this job yeah uh taking this on
24 7 war horse so he can hit on the way so he'll only uh help out with road games when there's
something to see on the way that's right yeah guys i'll drive there meet you they're like dana
USC is like thousands of miles away coach that means you got to leave now there's casinos in
commerce hello uh yeah the when matt rules asked about that this week saying
was this a bill toward next year to sort of bring Dylan Raola along in this new
offense, or is it for right now?
Matt Role was like, our goal is to get better now.
So, no pressure, baby.
So we called in a specialist.
So we call it.
Dylan, I'm going to teach you a couple of things.
They have called the, man, I'm kind of sad.
We already gave away the wolf man, although Dana's really more of a hyena.
First of all, if you start dating a lady at the post office, you get stamps for free.
Hey, dude, say this for Dana, man.
His girlfriends are age appropriate.
Yep.
And he has nice taste in architecture.
Hell yeah, brother.
He really does.
It's very funny.
When he was at West Virginia, he ordered like an entire eco-friendly German modular house that was like super stylish.
And you're like, Dana.
I was really inspired by the return to Earth movement.
Yeah, the architectural noma.
That's kind of what I'm going for, really.
you know, like living off of
God, does he still own that house?
I wonder who bought that house.
I would have bought it.
He just ships it wherever he goes.
He does, yeah, it's modular.
He says, he's saying, I'm putting it up in Nebraska.
So when you date enough ladies at post offices,
you get enough stamps to ship your fucking house.
You can ship a house, yeah, that's right.
Seriously, the, like, post office ladies,
meter maids,
the ladies manning.
Somehow, very transit-based ladies just seem to, like,
be in his lane, like, ladies' man in the toll booth.
if you're if you're a woman of a certain age and a certain level of road test
then you're about to have a very interesting holiday season um also speaking this is all
complimentary and i don't mean i hope you don't interpret any of it to be otherwise all super
complimentary um i'm feeling kind of banger vibes from arizona state at kansas state i don't know
Speaking of
Yeah.
Nope, go on.
Yeah, nope, I took that turn
and we're already there.
That was an alleyute pass
and I dropped the ball.
Thank you.
Yeah, Arizona State, Kansas State at seven.
That's looking hot.
Arizona State, what are you doing at seven and two?
What's that all of that?
Love it.
What do you do that way up there?
Do you know, y'all still got the herm flu.
Go back to bed.
Disagree.
We took an antibiotic.
We're on, we're on prescription medicine.
Scataboo. Ask your doctor if Scataboo is right for you.
Man, they shook that shit off.
Listen, there's nothing but that a positive attitude, a 500 pound squat and a midriff shirt can't fix for your football team.
We're putting that. Can we, I don't know if this is possible in our merch store, but can we get that entire sentence stamped on like a leather wallet or a money clip?
God's honest truth. Cam Scadaboo, massive college football player vibes, has been superb.
for them, the Cody Schrader of this year.
So I don't know.
That's another incredible turn of phrase.
It is.
I love him.
He's absolutely fantastic.
Hey, Game Day is going to be in Athens this week for Tennessee at Georgia at 7.30 p.m.
Damn it.
That's right.
It's going to be weird.
Everybody's hurt or playing funny.
Same for Georgia.
No, that's what I meant.
Heard Tennessee playing funny, Georgia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Playing funny, Georgia having actual problems on the football field.
Because if you did not watch Old Miss, Georgia, they kicked five field goals in that game.
Five.
And they were five for five.
But like if they had converted any of those into touchdowns, this would have been like from, oh, what a handy, great win.
What a confident win for Old Miss to like, oh, they beat the shit out of them.
Because they really did.
They beat the shit out of them.
Georgia only ran for 59 yards.
so they're having issues what a time to face one of the best defensive teams in the nation
in Tennessee only have what eight to nine to ten healthy defensive linemen to rotate throughout
the game listen listen when you're used to having 12 that's a I can't sleep on these sheets
until the end of this season that would be the funniest thing I've heard all year
that's amazing you know how you know how you know how
I know this shit's getting real.
And I'm kind of excited for this game to be decided one way or the other.
We had that rarest of beasts hit the mentions this week, which is a complaint that
appeared to be genuine that we weren't talking about Tennessee football enough.
Yeah.
I'm not going to talk about it anymore.
I just wanted to note that it's happening.
That's a great time to do that.
You said we didn't talk about Tennessee enough.
Anyway, Kansas at BYU.
Kansas at BYU, that's the late game, the 10-15 game.
That's the one I'm going to be watching because that has fucked up vibes all over it.
And I mean that in the positive sense.
You're not going to be watching to see if Louisiana Monroe can get bowl eligible at Auburn.
You know, they might.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's at 12.45 PM, not hidden away from the light of God as it should be.
On the full cast after dark, we will still be talking.
about what ULM did to Auburn.
Yeah.
Also, yeah, that's, oh boy.
I'm praying for you, Hugh.
I'm praying for what?
Quit asking.
These prayers are going up.
Up, up, up like your basketball teams are charter flight.
They all need to get to a fight.
New Mexico State A&M.
That's who is the true.
Speaking of Auburn, yeah.
Cincinnati, Iowa State.
That's a conference game.
We're at that stage of the schedule.
You go, that's definitely a conference game.
This is, Tennessee, Georgia does not have a lot of competition.
There's going to be some eyes on it.
We quietly have an eight-win Memphis team operating here.
Against UAB.
That's right.
We have a nine-win Memphis team.
We have a nine-win.
Eat it, Alex Kirk.
Oh, the charges. Hold on. No, no, we got to do it. We got to do it. Come on.
This has been through enough this week. No, no. He's got to. You know a couple weeks ago,
he re-upped it and decided that he had been right about Silverfield after all. I love it.
I love it. It's great. I love this energy. Stick to your guns. Yeah, stick to your guns, right?
You know, that you don't believe in. Uh, yeah, you don't believe in that you don't believe it.
But guess what? You know who does believe? I do.
Yeah, Jesus dropped the charges against Ryan Silverfield.
Because you said that, Alex.
