Shutdown Fullcast - Shutdown Fullcast 4.15.0
Episode Date: May 11, 2016The Shutdown Fullcast this week boldly attempts to go where Shutdown Fullcasts so rarely go: INTO ACTUAL FOOTBALL. Ryan assigned random numbers to every college football team, and then asked readers t...o send him numbers. The five teams selected were Arizona State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, and Colorado. We did no research, and attempted to discuss them! Topics of actual football content covered include: --Why Georgia Tech is the "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" of college football teams (the points don't matter!) --a lawnmower goes off in the background while we're discussing Georgia Tech, which is the most DGAF Paul Johnson country shit ever besides finding the upside to missing a bowl game in 2015 --Why Arizona State will bounce back form a 6-7 season to have a spellbinding 7-6 season. (Also: yet another explanation of the important concept of boat muscles.) --We spend most of the time on our UNC preview talking about how gutted their defense was by Baylor in the Russell Athletic Bowl, when Baylor ran EIGHTY-FOUR TIMES FOR 645 YARDS IN A SINGLE GAME. They passed 18 times, too, which is real funny. You know what UNC loses from that defense? Linebackers! THE POINTS DON'T MATTER. --How Colorado will have the most brutal 5-7 season of 2016! You have no luck in anything, Colorado. --A mean turn through the Florida Gators football schedule, which is the standard Jeremy Foley-endorsed trash. It is trash, Jeremy Foley.

Welcome to the shutdown fullcast.
This is an express edition, and since we have so little time,
we decided to do the proper thing,
tackle as many topics in one go as we possibly could,
because that's what you want to do when you have no time.
Joining me is Ryan Nanny from the Sound Booth, Box Media Offices in New York.
Hi, Ryan.
The Quiet Storm. Oh, yeah.
Tell me what you're feeling, Delilah.
take off that belt just to get comfortable i don't want to push it so what are we doing with our preview today
explain the format yeah so so usually we we do something resembling a sensible preview and by sensible
i mean we just talk shit about the same teams year after year but hey we see your reviews on iTunes
because we have no choice thanks iTunes um so i figured we'd mix it up i made a randomized list
Of every Power 5 team, I asked Twitter for five random numbers between 1 and 65.
Got a lot of 69s in there.
So good job, you guys.
And I matched them up with the team that that fit.
That's how we're going to do all of the previews this year.
So the first five teams we're going to talk about are Arizona State, Colorado, UNC, Georgia Tech,
and God damn it, Florida got in there somehow.
Why?
These are a five we would have picked, right?
These are the five we would have started with.
It's not terribly far off.
It ensures that we'll do a Colorado preview, which I really don't think we would have otherwise.
Yeah, they're easy to forget.
Before we get started, though, I do want it just to point out, just to immediately undermine the exercise,
I want you guys to look at this list, North Carolina, Florida, ASU, Colorado, Georgia Tech.
If we were doing this exact same show, but as a preview last year, how would you have ranked them in terms
of predicted finish for 2015.
Ooh, okay.
Well, we probably would have had Georgia Tech first, right?
Yep, yep.
Where, pray tell, would you have had UNC?
After Florida.
Okay.
Yeah, I would have had him like fourth.
Okay, okay.
I would go third, but yeah, right around there.
Yeah, if we're just going based on wins,
UNC's number one on this list, Georgia Tech, is last.
So previews are useless.
You should turn off this podcast now and go outside.
Yeah, so just know that that's how predictable is going to...
This is a disclaimer that there is no value inherent in what we're doing.
Counterpoint.
This is the most efficient preview because us combined with you, the listener, have done zero work here.
That's true.
We're not telling you, we've put hours and hours into these predictions, and we're here to tell you Georgia Tech will be good.
So go and invest a lot of money in that.
No, no, no, no.
We're telling you the exact opposite.
Yeah, yeah, don't.
Don't gauge any of this at all.
Don't take it for what it's like.
I want you to know, especially if we're dealing with a team like Georgia Tech,
remember where the points don't matter.
It's the way, it's just a randomized game show of football teams.
It is delightful to think of Paul Johnson as like Drew Carey's brother who fucking hates him.
yeah you know you know what improv is not having a plan improv is poor planning
i'm trying to think of paul johnson's opinion of cleveland but i think he'd kind of
like it there's just buildings you just go it's that's not what of these towns where
there's a lot going on it's just buildings there's just buildings and uh championships aren't
what matter you don't have to win championships there it's pretty nice
It's a city of manageable expectations.
Listen, I like having exactly three options.
In Cleveland, you have LeBron, sweatshirts, and misery.
And they put the dogs in the pound.
That's where they belong.
Go jackets.
Is that our Georgia Tech preview?
Did we just do it?
I don't think that is our Georgia Tech preview.
Damn it.
I was so happy.
I know.
We're making great progress.
Yeah, remember, like, the thing that really makes that offense work is a quarterback
Because they're the ones who have to make one of three decisions
And let's see, is Georgia Tech have one?
Yeah, they do, they do actually
They got just
They return almost all of their offenses, I understand
I'm not sure about the line, but as far as like the skill players at least
The A through F back
The various QZ and R backs
The double V back.
The Z back.
Z back.
E. Griega back.
That's so Georgia Tech having like all the positions on like mathematical equations.
A back plus B back equals touchdowns.
Can I give you a delightful quote from Paul Johnson?
Please do.
This is from the Georgia Tech blog on the AJC by Ken Segarra.
with an extra month of recuperation
due to the Yellow Jackets not making a bowl game
Johnson said that Thomas is the healthiest he's ever been
quote, that's one of the things you gain in missing a bowl
Johnson said you miss the practice
but you gain time in the wait room
That's some bright
I mean isn't that also true of prison
Like prison yeah I lost some time with my kids
But I gained some time in the weight room
Well one key to winning
To getting better at football games
is just stop playing so many football games.
That's true.
I keep trying to tell the administration,
we should just cancel all our games and then we'd never lose.
You win 100% of the games you don't play.
Yeah.
So with all of this,
I'm just going to go ahead and pencil in Georgia Tech for 10 wins.
Okay, cool.
10 wins.
Good.
All right, that's the Georgia Tech preview.
Go, go Jackets.
Okay, next.
I hope someone tracks all these.
And makes us look at the standings we come up with at the end.
All right. Let's do
Screw it. Let's do Arizona State.
Who's? Last scene, allowing over 500
yards of offense to West Virginia
in Bold Name here.
They play pretty much nobody out of conference this year.
They have Texas Tech.
But other than that, it's Northern Arizona
in Texas, San Antonio.
I don't know.
Like, do we care about Arizona State at this point?
That's me.
The thing about ASU this year
is they lose a ton
I think on
Bill C's chart
of returning production, I
believe they're second to last behind Ohio
State, and Ohio State has
the whole roster is five stars, so what do
they care? Arizona State, the whole roster
is not five stars, so
correct me if I'm wrong, though,
that they've done well with that before.
Have they not?
Under Todd Graham or just generally?
Are you saying Todd Graham is
good at quick transitions?
Um, I'm saying that he's, he can really turn something around.
He can flip that roster.
He can flip that roster.
Are you saying Todd Graham timed this so that he could pretend he's at a new school, even
though he's not?
Um, yes.
It's almost as if he's at a new school, right?
Here's what we're going to do.
We're going to tear the secondary out.
That's your mud room.
That's going to boost value.
We're going to put a Japanese maple in your front yard, Todd Graham.
It's going to be, it's going to be your starter.
Listen.
At running back.
Listen, we don't have...
But first we're going to burn down your house.
Now, look, this quarterback has problems.
We can't replace him, but we can't put new handles on him.
It's foundational.
I'm afraid this quarterback is foundational.
He's load-bearing, I'm afraid to say.
I mean, this is, you say, like, this is one of those things that you always do with previews.
You go, man, they lose a lot.
Okay, they went six and seven last year.
So.
They're escape.
yeah what what do you what do you what are you losing off that of that six and seven right yeah
i mean like like that's like the big problem with them is their offensive line they couldn't do
anything um they only have one returning starter but that's one returning starter off of a squad
that allowed 39 sacks so what do you lose is a certain way to think but i mean
the backups unless they were being punished at arizona state i don't believe i don't believe
punishment happens very frequently.
No, no, only in a potential bondage domination sense.
Yeah, or, or how I kill these guns in the gym, bro.
When are you doing Langday?
What?
I'll punish these traps.
I got to get these boat muscles up.
We're going to have a suit.
It's going to be sick.
You know, boat muscles.
That's what you can see in the boat, right?
That's right.
It's not beach muscles because you have a boat.
I have a boat.
My dad has a boat.
Hey, what can you see standing in the boat, man?
Can you see calves?
No.
No, that's a waste of time, then.
Exactly.
If this boat gets in trouble, I've got a point over there.
I'm making that, you know, like, pointing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, you can see it.
It's really impressive on the podcast.
So that's my thing.
Arizona State has an easy schedule.
They lose a lot of, I think they lose a lot of people,
and their offensive lines,
probably not going to be that much better.
But the schedule isn't all that.
So we're looking at like Todd Graham Stasis like eight, eight, eight, eight, eight, and four. Is that how this is looking?
Uh, can I talk you down to seven? You can Tommy does. I mean, I think, I mean, I feel like that's a compromise between what I'm thinking what I'm thinking.
They do need one of those. Arizona State is due for one of those. Oh, they beat a team. They're not supposed to beat at all games. Isn't that all their games though? Yeah, but not last year. They didn't have like all their wins and all their losses. Everything is what's not supposed to happen.
Arizona State. None of this was intentional.
Whoops.
Whoops.
All Arizona State.
So how about, how about, we'll say this is a six and six team, and then they pull off one of those somehow.
We'll bump them up to seven and five.
Seven wins.
Boom.
I'm going, I'm going eight.
I'm seriously going eight.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm going, I'm going eight because they got, let's see, Northern Arizona, one, Texas Tech, I'll take that at two.
I just never bet on Texas Tech.
Ever at UTSA 3.
So they start at 3 and O, then they get Cal.
That's four at USC.
You know what?
That's the one?
That's the one they're not supposed to win?
Nope.
Five.
I'm going to have a five and O.
I'm going to have a five and O coming into UCLA, which they lose.
Oh, man.
That's five.
Yeah, five and O Arizona State means Todd Graham is getting,
not calls from the administrative department,
but Texas boosters are placing some, some inquiries.
Yeah, but then like UCLA five, Colorado, or let's, you know, five and one, Colorado, six and one, Washington State, they'll drop that.
Yeah.
It's in Tempty.
That's like a Mike League special, so six and two.
At Oregon, man, I don't know what to make of Oregon.
Yeah, they'll lose on the road.
They'll lose on the road.
Okay, so six and three, Utah, six and four, because Utah just, they just feel like that kind of team that like, oh, sure, we just played Oregon.
We'll be totally ready for Utah, six and four.
And then that means that they've got to win at Washington or at.
Arizona.
I'll give you a no and a maybe.
Okay.
No and a maybe.
Okay, you know what?
And seven and five it is.
I'm back on.
I just want to mention this, this, they rank 57th in Bill's projections.
That's, okay.
That's a five and a seven.
We've seen this.
Sure.
So let's split it and call it six and six.
Six and six.
All right.
Let's stay in the Pack 12 and go to Colorado, which is a school that we, uh, I can name the coach.
And I can tell you the city that they play in.
Uh-huh.
Can you?
Can you?
Look, I can say I can, and that doesn't, yes, it's Mike McIntyre in Boulder.
Eat it.
All right.
Look at you.
Colorado returns a lot from a bad team, which again, what's that worth?
I mean, it's better than not returning a lot.
So bad team in this case, four and nine is definitely an improvement.
And half of those losses were by one score.
So, like, they weren't totally getting show.
No, they played some heartbreakers last year.
Colorado might have been the most, like, you tried hard team last year.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, if you put it in any other division, they probably have a much better record.
Colorado was living out the entire, like, over and over again,
the hardworking middle schooler who runs for class president and gets wiped off the
map by popular middle schooler who just ran on a whim.
Can I give you their road schedule?
Yeah.
Oh, it's awesome.
Yeah, this is my favorite thing about Colorado is their schedule.
All right.
All right.
Here's Colorado's road schedule.
At Michigan.
Bye.
Yeah.
Bye boy.
Yeah.
We'll get to Michigan schedule at some point, but not today.
At Oregon.
Bye.
That's the next week.
Did you accidentally get Michigan State schedule called?
at home then at
at Southern California
at Stanford and at Arizona
also also at Colorado State
which you could lose that game as well yeah
well it's not it's it's Denver it's in Denver
it's away from home it's neutral but they could still lose it
so the thing about this schedule and the reason that
I feel like we should go ahead and set Colorado for
a bowl game big
whoa whoa clear
clear the way is look at the home schedule yeah home schedule is not i'm going to hit you with
idaho state oregon state Arizona state UCLA Washington state and utah
you can win four or five of those games but then yeah which means you got which means what are
you flipping on the road yeah so maybe maybe you maybe you beat colorado state okay which is this very sad
As someone who grew up and watched Colorado win half a national title, I just said,
maybe you beat Colorado State.
Hey, it's a rivalry.
It's a rivalry.
But hey, this is where we are.
Maybe you can win at Arizona.
But I see at least five wins here.
I like the way this breaks down.
This is good for a rebuilding team.
You get all your hard games out of the way on the road.
No one expects you to win.
The one you do steal, everybody's going to love you for it.
And all your home games are winnable, which there's a downside to that.
if you lose any of these home games, you're in trouble.
But I'm going to pencil in six and six and see what y'all think.
Yeah, but you just have to weather such a brutal, it's not like one of those seasons
where you can jump out to three and one, four, and O, and then sort of limp to bowl eligibility.
You have to weather a miserable storm and then convince your players to go out there
and still win six games.
Well, that's why you just tell them just what we've told them just now.
Say, hey, fellas, we're going to be one in five at some point.
That's fine.
we're just here to get experience.
Like when you go play at Michigan,
just play the second stringers.
Just do like Charleston Southern
who does against Bama
before the FCS playoffs.
Just play the backups.
I'm going to give you
the darkest possible prediction
for their win total.
Okay.
Two?
Is it two?
Okay.
Mm-mm.
Nope, nope, nope.
I'm going to predict that it's five
going into their matchup
versus Utah at home
in Boulder on November 26th.
And I predict that they lose that
by a single score.
And that they finish 5 and 7 because I know I've seen this play before.
Still an improvement.
They're definitely getting better.
They are definitely.
Yeah, that would be, what, three straight years of improvement?
They are not, they are no longer in the conversation of worst team in FBS, which they were at point.
Yeah.
And they are not even really in the conversation of worst team in the conference.
I don't think.
I mean, you're telling me Colorado or Oregon.
state i'll take i'll take i'll take the bus yeah all right uh swing back to the acc north carolina
the winningest team of our group although please uh does anyone remember what happened uh in their
bowl game against baylor they gave up the uh most rushing yards in a bowl game that any team
ever had yeah ever 645 in a lot of bowl games and seven rushing touchdowns this is
Can you give me the number of passing attempts, Bailor had in that game?
Because that's where the real comedy is here.
I'll pull it up.
You're making me do research I hadn't done.
No, no, no.
No, you need to, because I will pull this up myself because I want to.
First of all, I didn't remember which bowl game this was.
Thank you, Russell Athletic Bowl.
I'll say, I'll give you over under six and a half.
Okay.
Spencer, you know what it is, I assume.
I believe they attempted seven passes.
Is that it?
I have, I have 18, they have 18 pass attempts.
Amazing.
No one remembers any of them.
That's shockingly high.
You know what it was?
It was like nothing but screen passes to Corey Coleman, which are basically long handoff.
Which is a real good call.
By the way, can I just give you an example of how absolutely, and now I know Baylor will,
Baylor will, they will straight up cut you in half.
I know that's how they work, okay?
but man would you make it this easy
111 passing yards off those 18 attempts
but 111 to a grand total
of 645 yards rushing on 84 rushing attempts
I want to salute you North Carolina because y'all didn't die
do you know how bad it would feel to take 84 rushing attempts on defense
what do you think
what do you think coach chisick said to keep those boys attuned
during that punishment.
He probably just goes,
White Shores, boys,
White Shores.
Then you get through the battle
and you see White Shores.
At the end of the day,
we all get commemorative
Russell Cotton Shorts,
and isn't that what matters?
He probably got the one assistant on staff
had been through a nasty divorce.
Tell him about it, Frank.
Let me tell you something.
This ain't nothing.
You think they're taking from you?
you don't know.
Diane,
she's a tape.
Just ready to see
what Maureen takes from you.
Seven touchdowns a year,
and she's remarried.
Listen,
you boys ain't even married
to Maureen and you owe her money.
You want to talk about possession?
I only see my kids
eight times a year.
She runs even sadder than the game.
Yeah,
it is.
Get back out there.
Wait until someone runs out the clock on you.
So UNC has an obvious,
obvious question at quarterback, not a question, but sort of transition going on at quarterback.
Do you have thoughts?
I don't believe we know anything about the quarterback.
I know they lose a ton from a really good offense, and they get back that winded defense.
So I'm not exactly super high on the heels, but we said that last year, too.
Yeah, I mean, we said that last year, and I think Larry Fedora, like,
very much kind of he won't get this rep as much as other people but very much i think a system
guy right who's going to rely on playing a lot of 4736 kind of games hopefully one for you're not
on the side of allowing 645 yards right yeah i mean so so their new quarterback stepping in his name
mitch true they're gonna they're gonna suck yeah well Mitch you know i'm just basing it on the
name wow uh yeah he completed he appeared in nine games he completed 40 a
47 passes for 555 yards and six touchdowns.
And that's, I mean, you know, take into account who this, who he was playing against and, you know.
Yeah, so we're taking UNC schedule, which was really, really light.
And then we're looking at just the garbage time of that schedule.
Oh, oh, hey, can I give you something fun?
Yeah.
That rush defense that was real bad?
they just lost their linebackers.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
For the heels, I would recommend any team in the ACC Coastal, a solid seven and five.
And I don't feel like diverting too far from that.
But this is the role UNC, I want them to play this year.
They're either going to play.
They play Georgia, their first game of the year.
Oh, man, do you want to, but can I just pause here?
please do you want to dare and suggest anything that might happen in that game
probability wise anything no but that's why i'm not predicting it there are just two things that
can happen thing one georgia runs the ball all over unc wins handily uh and georgia fans are
just just celebrating as if the second coming has been put on the calendar
kirby's just inhaling you all you did it kirby you know jesus took three days
to come back but
Kirby only needed one.
Look at that.
Alternatively,
Georgia loses to UNC to start Kirby's
tenure. And they do it
without giving Nick Chub the ball enough.
Yeah. Oh, that's rich.
We need to be balanced.
Are you telling me
that Baylor ran for 650 yards
on that team, and we only
gave Nick Chub's 17 attempts?
We just get more drink back in here.
I'll hang up and listen.
I'll take my answer off the air.
Can I tell you no matter what happens in that game?
Yeah.
That next week is just...
Yes.
That next week is just a savory, delicious.
That's the balm.
That's the balm of Gilead right there
because they play Illinois the next week.
Yeah.
In Illinois's first meaningful game of the season.
So, yeah, this could just...
UNC, if you just want to ruin or unnecessarily
inflate the hopes of teams with new coaches,
I'm for it. I'm here for it.
Can I give you, man, this is like, I love this.
I love that I have no idea what I'm looking at in the ACC.
None, because the next games are Pittsburgh.
No clue.
Just skip over JMU, hater.
I did. They could beat them.
Don't put that out. Don't put JMU winning there.
At Florida State, they'll get killed.
Virginia Tech. Who knows?
Miami. Who knows? Miami. Who knows? Virginia.
not a clue those are three they face three teams in a row with new coaches they scheduled they scheduled
georgia tech for homecoming which oh man like do you bowl that's some that's some good heroin
if there's one there's one thing georgia tech will love to do it's it's burn your float to the
ground it wasn't it wasn't structurally sound i was like i'm reading this book about pimpsi
and houston is full of some drugs that you're just like i didn't know people could do that
that's scheduling Georgia Tech for homecoming
where you're like, sure, put the cleaning fluid on the joint
and then grind it up and turn into a powder
and inject it in your veins.
Like, that's pretty much what's going on here.
And then, like, they finish with, like, Duke and NC State.
By the way, NC State, like, fifth straight year of,
I have no clue.
I don't know.
And I don't feel like NC State has played a challenging opponent
in, like, three years.
So NC State could be awesome by now.
I have no idea.
Yeah, but they lose NFL quarterback to Kobe Brissette.
yeah where do you get to start uh well you know it's not high school yeah i get probably most people
get started up warner i think it's a juco transfer yeah yeah something like that yeah home prone nc state
product uh man nc state football schedule wise by the way that dude who takes college for like
who takes classes in college for like seven years and never managed us to accrue of credit you're
like you took like seven years of judo and swimming and like an elective in women's studies how the hell
did you do that what is wall paper appreciation how did nc how did nc state play the gris
they played the grisleys let's do our last team let's wrap it up
all right the third cc team that plays georgia this year spencer hall it's time to talk about
your florida gaiters why why are you putting that on me because i have too many
responsibilities as is and i'm trying to lighten my load yeah well let's
I cannot really get in. God, it's so bad.
Hey, from UMass to the north of Texas, Florida is going coast to almost coast.
Yeah, this OSCE schedule is amazing.
Yeah, it's, it's, it's even, it's bad even by Florida standards.
I mean, it's rough because one, the out-of-conference games are booty.
It's just booty.
Can I, I'm going to start with November because we play at home.
we play
my favorite name to say
out loud in all of
college football which is the Presbyterian
Blue Hose
Yep, the Presbyterian
Blue Hose. That's who we schedule
for November 19th. Jeremy Foley, you are
straight fucking trash.
That's that sandwich.
Straight
fucking trash. I hope you were listening
to this and you hear it. You are garbage
for attempting to sell this.
It's just trash.
You've also got
UMass and North Texas,
who are both perpetually in the running for
worst teams in the country.
Oh, UMass and so that's three wins there.
Congratulations.
You got it.
Cool.
Look, look, you got a PR
of 135 of the bench press, Florida.
Way to go.
The good news is the road schedule is,
I guess, okay.
They play at Tennessee,
which will be
probably an atmosphere of some note.
Is that,
Let's see.
Is that Tennessee's first real big game of the year?
No, they have the Virginia Tech game.
All right, they got the NASCAR thing.
So, well, if they go out, I mean, first of all,
if they lose to App State or if they get hammered by Virginia Tech,
it'll probably take some of the shine off of that game.
But let's assume that Tennessee at least still looks like a decent squad.
So that's something.
At Vanderbilt means nothing.
Vanderbilt don't exist.
Missouri and LSU.
in backlogged weeks.
Yeah, both at home, which is nice, better.
There's the Georgia game in Jacksonville, and then at Arkansas.
Man, that's just, that is just, that looks so bad and dangerous.
Oh, but wait.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's one game.
We talked about November.
We've talked about the schedule up to Arkansas.
There's one game we're dancing around.
It's the single most interesting Florida game of the year.
It is, of course, the Will Must Jam Bowl.
God, damn.
I'm going to have to fight real hard.
You're going to go.
Oh, you're going to go to that game.
I'm going to just sit there and get thrown out, throw garbage at him.
Sir, why did you request an on-field media pass and a, quote, a shitload of garbage?
My favorite thing about this game, the way it lines up is Florida hits this game after playing Georgia away from home and going to the meat grinder that is Arkansas.
Whereas South Carolina coasts in off a streak of five straight home games, including also a bi-week,
and one of those home games is against Texas A&M and the others against UMass.
So South Carolina is to be fresh and arrested as well as fresh and rested as a must-champ team can be.
And Florida is going to be tucked out.
You're telling you UMass has two, at least two points of data to argue that it is an SEC-East caliber.
is an SEC East contender this year.
Who else is UMass?
I hate this team.
Oh, I hate this division.
Damn, Mississippi.
All right, UMAS is independent.
I just now remembered that.
Yeah.
Florida, Boston College, FIU, Mississippi, State, Tulane, Old Dominion, Louisiana, Tech, South
Carolina, Wagner, Troy, BYU, and Hawaii.
That's not that far off from an SEC East.
Like, if you gave me this and said it was Vanderbilt's schedule,
I'd say, like, uh, like one or two of these games look wrong,
but otherwise, yeah.
By the way, I was looking at UMass,
and I thought, you said they're independent,
and I was like, oh, they got to take Uber to the game.
I don't know what that means.
They do not have a good rating.
Their stadium's pretty far, so.
That's the best part is they're like,
that it's going to be $3,483, sir.
Yeah, the O line got held up somewhere in Dover.
I don't know.
They'll be here three hours.
All right.
So do you dare predict what Florida does this year?
Uh, yep, sitting here.
Added up, this looks like a, this, honestly, this looks like an 8 and 4 team, but it'll be a, it'll be a trash 8 and 4.
I mean, it'll be, like, I don't think this is going to be, who this won't be, yeah, fuck this.
This is like an 8 and 4 team at best, Luke Del Rio, quarterback.
I really only have two hateful hopes for this season.
I hope they be Kentucky to keep that street going, because it's like, there's something very endearing about even Florida at its, uh,
This won't be the shittiest Florida team, but it's also not going to be the best.
There's something about Florida, no matter what, beating Kentucky that I really enjoy.
And, of course, the Georgia game.
I am fully on board with Florida, just being the unbearable thorn in Georgia's side every year, all of the time.
So would you take a Georgia win over a Tennessee or Florida state win?
Yeah, because the Florida state win does not seem realistic.
And the Tennessee win, it would be fine.
But I'm also, I'm also, that that rivalry, I don't know, has lost a little bit something.
I guess setting aside rivalry and thinking of this as this is the year for Tennessee.
Yeah, it would be good for that.
Maybe by September 24th, once we have a few more months of Tennessee fans really talking themselves into their team this year.
I kind of feel like you might prefer that one.
That might be true.
Can I give you the one, like, dream scenario for me, though?
Please.
Like, that would be beating Georgia and South Carolina so that we could claim victory over both of Nick Sabin's, over both of Nick Sabin's dim bumpkin urchin children.
Like, that would be, that would be so rich to me, right?
So you take the-knit taught him how?
Nick gave him brains that were bigger than the ones they had.
Really?
All of Nick Savon's large adult sons, you'd have the best.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
