Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:00:47 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.
Starting point is 00:01:06 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.
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:55 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.
Starting point is 00:02:09 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?
Starting point is 00:02:57 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.
Starting point is 00:03:25 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
Starting point is 00:04:15 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
Starting point is 00:05:31 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
Starting point is 00:05:55 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.
Starting point is 00:06:20 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:20 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:56 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.
Starting point is 00:08:10 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.
Starting point is 00:08:53 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?
Starting point is 00:09:08 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.
Starting point is 00:10:10 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.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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.
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:53 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.
Starting point is 00:11:14 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
Starting point is 00:11:52 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
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:13:04 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.
Starting point is 00:13:21 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.
Starting point is 00:13:36 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
Starting point is 00:14:07 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:30 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.
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.
Starting point is 00:15:13 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.
Starting point is 00:15:32 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?
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:27 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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
Starting point is 00:17:07 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.
Starting point is 00:17:54 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
Starting point is 00:18:16 I had wait was it one of those Yeah Is it Wazoo? It's Army What? Yep Yep That's crazy
Starting point is 00:18:25 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
Starting point is 00:18:36 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
Starting point is 00:18:51 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
Starting point is 00:19:03 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
Starting point is 00:19:19 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
Starting point is 00:19:41 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
Starting point is 00:19:57 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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.
Starting point is 00:20:53 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
Starting point is 00:21:38 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:47 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.
Starting point is 00:23:06 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.
Starting point is 00:23:34 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:23 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?
Starting point is 00:24:45 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.
Starting point is 00:25:14 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.
Starting point is 00:25:33 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.
Starting point is 00:26:06 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
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:33 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
Starting point is 00:26:43 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
Starting point is 00:26:58 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.
Starting point is 00:27:11 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
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:28 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
Starting point is 00:28:55 Yes I'm gonna say Clemson But is that right Swap it, South Carolina That is correct I knew that is correct Yeah
Starting point is 00:29:07 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
Starting point is 00:29:20 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,
Starting point is 00:29:30 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,
Starting point is 00:29:41 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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.
Starting point is 00:30:27 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?
Starting point is 00:30:39 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
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:15 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.
Starting point is 00:31:35 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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.
Starting point is 00:32:03 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...
Starting point is 00:32:53 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
Starting point is 00:33:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:15 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.
Starting point is 00:34:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:15 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
Starting point is 00:35:45 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
Starting point is 00:36:04 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.
Starting point is 00:37:07 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
Starting point is 00:37:48 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,
Starting point is 00:38:13 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,
Starting point is 00:38:34 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
Starting point is 00:38:55 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
Starting point is 00:39:14 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
Starting point is 00:39:42 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.
Starting point is 00:39:58 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?
Starting point is 00:40:37 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,
Starting point is 00:40:55 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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.
Starting point is 00:41:42 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.
Starting point is 00:41:57 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.
Starting point is 00:42:17 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
Starting point is 00:42:31 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
Starting point is 00:42:51 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.
Starting point is 00:43:12 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.
Starting point is 00:43:26 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
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:43:52 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.
Starting point is 00:44:22 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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
Starting point is 00:45:07 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
Starting point is 00:45:22 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?
Starting point is 00:45:46 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
Starting point is 00:46:06 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
Starting point is 00:46:22 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.
Starting point is 00:46:49 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.
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.
Starting point is 00:47:44 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

Starting point is 00:48:54 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.
Starting point is 00:49:07 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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.
Starting point is 00:49:40 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?
Starting point is 00:49:50 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
Starting point is 00:50:02 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
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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
Starting point is 00:50:59 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
Starting point is 00:51:20 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?
Starting point is 00:51:47 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
Starting point is 00:52:06 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
Starting point is 00:52:33 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.
Starting point is 00:53:07 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.
Starting point is 00:53:28 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.
Starting point is 00:54:03 No, I'm with you. That concludes today's more or less, more or less, which brings us to anyone, anyone, anyone? Home field apparel.

Starting point is 00:58:01 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.
Starting point is 00:58:16 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.
Starting point is 00:58:34 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.
Starting point is 00:58:48 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.
Starting point is 00:59:04 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?
Starting point is 00:59:19 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
Starting point is 00:59:30 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.
Starting point is 00:59:47 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
Starting point is 01:00:37 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.
Starting point is 01:00:49 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
Starting point is 01:01:16 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.
Starting point is 01:01:51 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.
Starting point is 01:02:05 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
Starting point is 01:02:54 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
Starting point is 01:03:40 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
Starting point is 01:04:00 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.
Starting point is 01:04:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:03 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.
Starting point is 01:05:18 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.
Starting point is 01:05:39 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.
Starting point is 01:05:59 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.
Starting point is 01:06:19 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.
Starting point is 01:06:33 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.
Starting point is 01:06:41 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.
Starting point is 01:06:56 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.
Starting point is 01:07:13 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.

Starting point is 01:08:13 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.
Starting point is 01:08:22 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
Starting point is 01:08:58 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
Starting point is 01:09:10 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.

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
Starting point is 01:10:36 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 i see boston college smu that's crap ah you caught me

Starting point is 01:11:36 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
Starting point is 01:11:47 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.
Starting point is 01:12:07 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
Starting point is 01:12:41 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.
Starting point is 01:13:10 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.
Starting point is 01:13:32 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.
Starting point is 01:13:50 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,
Starting point is 01:14:04 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
Starting point is 01:14:27 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.
Starting point is 01:14:53 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.
Starting point is 01:15:05 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.
Starting point is 01:15:22 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.
Starting point is 01:15:55 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.
Starting point is 01:16:12 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.
Starting point is 01:16:35 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
Starting point is 01:17:08 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.
Starting point is 01:17:39 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.
Starting point is 01:18:01 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?
Starting point is 01:18:25 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.
Starting point is 01:18:44 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.
Starting point is 01:19:05 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.
Starting point is 01:19:36 But guess what? You know who does believe? I do. Yeah, Jesus dropped the charges against Ryan Silverfield. Because you said that, Alex.
