Penn State, we somehow gave you Lane Kiffin. Washington, we treated you even more poorly. I'm sorry for all of this. Absolutely all of it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

welcome to the shutdown forecast or should I say bienvenito because we shouldn't no why would you do that it's because it's because because forecast la fiesta listen just because Penn State is playing doesn't mean you have to speak Spanish just because we're talking about the Pacific Northwest doesn't mean you have to invoke a fiesta the famous fiestas of the Pacific Northwest Is James Franklin still coaching that team? I know, no, he's not. Interesting.

He's not, yeah, no. He's the coach of the, um, Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Giants, took both jobs. So how, how do you guys think Lane Kiffin is going to pivot from a Florida Atlantic's bull win to taking over a program of Penn State's caliber? Just the ice cream weight he's going to put on is going to be really alarming, because it's all going to go to the face. Oh, God. All those creamery employees are going to.

I have HR on speed dial. So now we have Scott Paterno defending a hire of Kendall Bryles. Wow. Actually, that was my bingo card for 2017. Fuck. Yeah. Fuck. This is the worst.

Please, can we talk about anything else? The Washington Huskies. Okay. Yep. Sure. That's it. That's my assessment of their team. Yeah.

Sure. You know, if you told me, like, what a rating that really doesn't mean, much like oh it's respectable on paper and then if you looked at it ranking wise you'd go ah the team at that spot really probably wouldn't deserve this bowl but we really couldn't disprove it washington perfect right 11 that's our 11th ranked team and they're about the 11th ranked team in the united states right like this is a team that every time i saw them in a big game it was like oh man they're they're here to play and they lost well like the big games they had to play this year they lost they're very good they lost one big game and then they lost one big game and then they lost

one tiny game. They lost, they have one of the more baffling losses in all of college football for this year, do they not? They missed two field goals of under 30 yards. And this is from a Bill C post that will hopefully be up by the time we post these episodes. If not, shit, y'all can wait for it.

This is live streaming. Did I not tell you? Yeah, we're live streaming these now. Yeah, it's fine. Bill can type fast. So Bill went through and recalculated some stuff from the whole season, and found, like, the team that blew the best shot at the playoff was basically Washington. Like, they really, really, really should have been back.

Obviously, they would have been to USC in the Pactual title game, but here's your consolation, Washington, the Fiesta Bowl. It's tough. I feel like Washington fans are, like, people who really love Michael Douglas's career. Or I'm like, why are you so invested? Like, yeah, sure. Some good romance in the stone. Yeah, that's fine. I don't know why you're, like, you're really worked up about it.

this. Romancing the stone is a classic. Yeah, but it's, it's not like meaning somebody who's like, you know, if you met somebody who is like a romancing the stone head, you'd be a little confused by that. Wouldn't, wouldn't you be? No, not one bit. Nope. God, great. Congratulations. You're both Washington fans. I would be because I don't know if I ever heard of it. This is, this is leveling up for both you. Kathleen Turner is a legend. How dare you? Yeah. Now, if you were, if you were like, yeah, well, like, if you met somebody who was a big Wall Street head, I would be worried. Okay, there. That's line yeah okay okay that'd be concerning for me right especially because how dumb is the director when he's like so the guy's name is gordon gecko i'd be like get the fuck out of my office right

right right time of day does chris peterson emotionally live out the entire plot of falling down twice yeah at least in a slow year more rocket launcher though more rocket launcher i could see that
