and then killed it a card game when he was seven Julia I don't want this baby the Bronx home to the pinstripe bowl home to Boston College playing Iowa probably in a

driving sleet God this is perfect there are so many bowl games where you don't even really have to mention what teams are in it because the results are random and nothing counts or matters and nothing counts or matters here except this.

This will be plate tectotics masquerading his football. This will be two old people doing it. That's what this is. This will be basically holding a jar of peanut butter upside down on a cold day. Just waiting to see if anything happens. Steve Adacio is going to wear a singlet to this game.

Nothing else either. No coat. No nothing. Come on, man. Get your ass down on the 50. I'll pin you. I mean, if they're wearing wrestling gear that fits their characters, Kirk Farrant's going to show up in a Rick Flair robe.

That man is rich in case you missed it. I realize we haven't filled out our Iowa joke for him today, but I'm just here to tell you that Kirk Farrantz is rich. Check. The best is, I don't even know if Kirk Farrantz knows this is in the Bronx. Like he'll just show up and be like, where are we going today? Are we planning home? No?

It's in the Bronx. Okay, cool. We'll just go there. It's fine. What? Is that like near Manhattan, Kansas? Is it Bronx, Pennsylvania? Yeah.

Flight's gone along. Could you, um, could you, you know, order more champagne? That'd be cool. Because, because Kurt France needs, Kirk, Kier needs champ. He needs a champ. But, uh, flat, please. I know. I want you to, you did open it two days ago, right?

Okay. Can I get a, uh, diet champagne? I need some of that quinkling wine. This is caffeine-free. Caffeine-free champagne, right? Yeah. I don't want it to keep me up past seven. This is a match-up of two teams whose years.

Man, there's some amazing accomplishments in here. Amazing. And I mean both in the positive and the negative, right? Because Boston College actually had an offense this year. They did. Like a month. They did. For a month, they had an offense.

Did it stick around? I kind of forgot to pay attention. Dude, it, they, kind of. It really did. It kind of did. They beat Florida State 353. Florida State was awful. Doesn't matter.

Still, 35, they lost points better than Florida State football. I'm going to say it one more time. 32 points better than ball eligible Florida State. That happened. Also, man, they beat the daylights out of a couple of people. Not Notre Dame. They lost in Notre Dame. They lost bad to Clemson, too.

Right. So, but point being, they kind of sort of did stuff this year. Scott Leffler had an okay year, okay to good year as an offensive coordinator. Just write that down and then forget about it because it'll never happen again. It's not important because you're mostly here to talk about Iowa, right? I'm not even going to, I'm going to try to avoid every Iowa joke here. Okay. Okay, yeah.

I'm just going to state facts. Okay. Right. Just facts. How about Iowa football? Okay? This year. Because they did all of the following things.

All the following things happened. They were all true and they need no commentary, other than maybe involuntary laughter when I make them. Okay? Because I maintain Iowa had one of the most hilarious years in college football, like a top three funniest year. Okay? They faced Josh Allen and completely ruined Josh Allen's entire year in one game.

Oh, you're going to get written up in the paper for that. I will. I will. You'll be disappointed to hear that Josh Allen had a terrible game against Iowa and never really recovered. That's not Josh Allen's fault. I know. We don't happen. We don't. I promise you, we are in charge of no NFL team.

None. None. The chargers. We run the chargers. We do run the chargers. We're very fickle about coaches. We like to move them around. We could run the Browns.

How would you know? No, we will not. No. Yeah. They beat Iowa State. this turned out to be quite an accomplishment, though nobody really knew it at the time. They lost to Penn State.

That was going to happen. In exciting, fun, nighttime in Iowa fashion. Yep. They lost in Michigan State, which, yeah. They lost one of the dumbest games I watched this year, which was Iowa at Northwestern. We don't need to speak of it. Let me just tell you, mistakes were made in every single direction, namely me watching this game.

Because they lost 1710. Was that in regulation, Jason or Ryan? No. No. That was in overtime. Additional time was needed. Additional time was needed to finish a game 1710. You were given extra time on the SAT and you still got it at 1250.

So Iowa and Northwestern combined to play, what, five or six overtime games this year? Northwestern played a shit ton of them. So, yeah. Our nation was subjected to, like, a whole lot of Iowa and Northwestern. Maybe that's our problem. Virtue and moral fiber, you mean. So if you look, three of the four games in this stretch, the Michigan State game, the Northwestern game, and the Minnesota game, Iowa scores a total in those games where they go,

1 and 2 of 37 points. Not great. Spencer, what's the next game after that? You're seeing my direction and hinting at future plot points that are extremely important. Forshadowing of this, you can add up all those points and it will just barely get you to what you need. In fact, it won't actually. You need more points to get to the 55 points. Ohio's dad. Yeah, yeah. You still get used to 37 still gets you a W, but you're,

you're way off. Oh my God. That's a corn subsidy of some value size and heft that you just dropped on Urban Myers head brother. I made a corn city joke. And then, okay, so we've crossed that off the list. So now you've got great. You opened up the biggest can of what bass you had. Yeah. On Ohio State, 55 points. How many points do they score the next week against Wisconsin? One more thing. That was Urban Meyer's worst defensive, like, performance ever. Ever. Right.

He's never that bad at Bowling Green. You blasted Ohio State, sorry as not the playoff. Yeah. And you almost got Greg Shiano of the Tennessee job. Almost. And then churning and chugging and running and storming into their matchup with Wisconsin. They lost 3814. score 14 points there after 55 14 entirely defensive points right and you say okay well

Wisconsin at the time number six undefeated a good team whatever turn around 15 points against Purdue they didn't have dude against Wisconsin they didn't have 100 yards they had five first downs Josh Jackson had like almost all of their yards he plays cornerback yeah but but it gets worse Because Ohio State, you have to look at that 55 and think like, God damn. We have 55 points to Kirk Farrison, Iowa. That's the second highest point total that they gave that Iowa scored this year. Thank you, Nebraska. Nebraska, you are a true friend.

Man, just, you know, took that monkey straight off Urban Myers back in the High V Heroes game, which when I hear High V heroes, I think probably really gifted shoplifters. of the Midwest. That's what I'm thinking. His pants. He got a whole, dude, he got a whole beef stick down his leg. Brought it out. That summer sausage is going to feed us till April.

He got so much tuna in his socks. He took a 38 pack of hams. I don't even think hams. I mean, if any beer has a 38 pack, it's like hams, right? I thought you meant that ham, the pork product came in packs. I thought you meant 38 entire hams. No, hams, it's the beer that comes with ham. He snuck out a pallet of ham.

Dude, he got a whole thing of potted meat in there, like the bigan. All pot of potted meat.
