Episode Date: August 31, 2017

After Stanford bravely faced the trials of Week 0.36, we're finally ready to lap up FIVE STRAIGHT DAYS of college football. Florida State-Alabama! West Virginia-Virginia Tech! Michigan-The Shell of a Florida Team That We Didn't Believe In At The Time We Recorded This And Then Somehow More Players Got Suspended!

Welcome to Shutdown Fullcast. Man, it's, we have a lot to discuss a lot because after the entire voyage of the off season in week zero, there's real dang football, y'all. Real football. Real American football. Dangerous, maybe illegal in 10 years. American football in full. This is a college football podcast, and today we're going to discuss college football. we're actually going to discuss theoretical college football because after that we won't be able to discuss it there's going to be real football and we can't just make stuff up right like for instance I can't say things like oh man you know

Kirby smarts just like another boring Nick Saban drone hired for too much money at Georgia who's going to be a little petty autocrat who goes eight and five every year right can't make that up off to base it on real things that happen Ryan do I have any reason to do that well here's the thing you're a media member i guess within kirby smart's eyes so i can't trust you so no you don't have any reason to do that kirby smart is just doing what's best for his program

and y'all just keep trying to tear him down by i don't know talking about georgia football thinking about georgia football mentioning georgia football in any space whatsoever like i think if i think if kirby had his way we there would you wouldn't even be able to find George's schedule online. I think some part of him feels like that's just giving our opponents an advantage, that they know that we're playing them. They know we're playing October 6th. They know it's in Athens.

How are we, you know, what are you, Geraldo here? Just giving information to the troops, to the enemy? That's crazy. Oh, also joining us, Jason. Hi, Jason Kirk. Hey, y'all. I just want to say a good general never broadcasts his men. maneuvers. So I think Governor Kirby's in the right here. And also, I hope we get Georgia,

Michigan in a bowl game soon so that like the coaches agree that they'll have it in a secret offshore location and invite like eight members of state media. The scoreboard will be turned off for the duration of the game. You don't need to know that information. What down is? It's a down. Let's agree that the dial a down will just have a number sign on it. Each team will bring its own caddy. That caddy will keep score. At the end, if they disagree, well, we'll both count the W. It doesn't matter what the other one claims. If you sign for the wrong score, you will be disqualified. God, this favors Georgia. Basically, let's make every single sporting event like Bama's national title claims. Hey, do you think you won? Okay. Do you believe it

in your heart? I really wish Michigan had put out a roster of people who had formerly played at Michigan. Not necessarily people who are currently on the team, right? Tom Harmon? Tom Harmon back. Wow. They did do that. Tim Biokabatooka?

I mean, they kind of did. Yeah, Michigan did do that in Florida Game Notes. Like, they didn't go all the way back to Tom Harmon. No, you got to go all the way back, man. You can be like Gerald Ford's lining up at right guard. Jim Harboss playing. Tim Biokabotka? Jim Harmon.

I think the biggest miss opportunity in Michigan had in that. scenario was to be like you want a depth chart okay here's a depth chart QB1 better than whoever Rutgers have QB2 also better than whoever plays for Rutgers starting at left guard better than Rutgers center yeah way better than Rutgers guy just do that for the whole depth chart left tackle Gibral peppers left guard gibral peppers I at least appreciate that gamesmanship because it's petty and small right it's a roster you can can kind of figure that out. I don't really, when a coach says, I mean, y'all in the media, I don't know where

you get this stuff. I'm probably talking to your players. Do you think these are the same coaches who resent when their family, ask them questions? Like if one of their kids is like, hey, dad, what are we have for lunch tomorrow? You're like, I don't, I don't, I'm not showing you my lunch playbook, okay? Maybe it's grilled cheese. Maybe it's tuna milk. Why would I give you that kind of advantage?

Why would I make it easy on you? Who says we're even have a lunch, huh? That's an assumption. That's dangerous on your part. Tomorrow we're having breakfast for every meal. You know, 10,000 years ago, they didn't even know if they were eating in the next month. So,

this is my favorite thing, by the way, that, like, you know, Nick Saban, like, Nick Saban has these meetings at Alabama, very, very long meetings. And Lane Kiffin, um, Lane Kiffin in a feature Matt Hayes wrote about the Florida Atlantic coach. Hi, it's 2017, by the way.

We get to say things like Florida Atlantic coach, Lane Kiffin. In that feature, he says, you know, I was at USC and we didn't have meetings like this where like for 10 minutes we talked about the coin toss. And that tickles me to no end because it confirms everything I really want to believe about coaching, i.e., most of it's, about anxiety and not actually preparing for things because Pete Carroll has no anxiety. He just, that part of his brain is gone. It was cored out by coaching in the NFL and deciding that he needed to be a new kind of human being. And he has none of that.

So their meetings are probably like, hey, here's nine brilliant ideas. Let's just be positive for like three minutes and then let's do a bunch of push-ups, right? And then they recruit and they go out and they beat the tail out of everybody for like a decade. I love that his meetings take like 10 minutes on the coin toss because it confirms everything that I think annoys Nick Sabin, which is, hey, we got a plan. Bow! Dang it!

I hate surprises. I'm not spontaneous. No one on this team could think on their feet. This is my binder that explains which binders I prefer to buy. This is the advantage. You have your half inch. Those are portable, but they may lack capacity. Three-ring, of course.

A lot of questions about whether you want the kind of lock or not. You will sit down and listen to all of this, all right? This is my press conference. I'm here to talk. Yeah, and then every two years, a mobile quarterback comes through and goes, la, la, la, la. Well, he ate the binders, so kept him all the shit. If you just keep your man in bounds, and you just, if you, oh, dang it! If you just keep the quarterback in the pot, what do you do it?

Mm-hmm. Did we discuss this? Did we have a 45-minute-long meeting about this? As someone who hates meetings? Oh, I love this. Mobile quarterbacks are the Ewoks of college football, so it all makes sense. Did he just throw a rocket-be? I'm not used to shooting lasers that low.

This sucks. He isn't even on the team. He just showed up. He just wanted to kill. It's not even wearing a uniform. Jason, what are we discussing this week now that we actually have games? Bro, we got week one. We got an actual week, an actual college football, not a week point, man, calling it week

0.5, that was a little bit of a stretch in hindsight. I think that was like a week third or like a week 10th. Week 0. Week 0.1. Week 0. I mean, it was something. It was more than zero, but not much. Week 0.5. Oh, wait, hold on. Now, you saw the Stanford tweet, though, right? Yeah. I mean, I love that your gimmick of being the world's only.

Aggroe Stanford fan. No, no, it's actually Stanford's Twitter account. So Stanford beat Rice 62 to 7. They outscored Rice 38-0 in the first half. They outgained them 656 to 200. Like Stanford put up 656 yards of offense. They absolutely paces them. And that's fine. Stanford is a team that, you know, has been close to college football playoff level in recent years, has won double-digit games, multiple seasons, and Rice is Rice. These are all, like, none of that by itself bothers me. What bothers me is this tweet from Stanford Football sent on Tuesday at 9 o'clock. So already, like two days after the game, they questioned if we could play great football

after enjoying a fun-filled week overseas in Australia. And then there's a clip of, you know, Stanford beating Rice. And who? Who asked that question? Who said, oh, you know, Stanford's just too. Just having too much fun. Rice is going to rise up. Punch him in the mat.

Nobody asked that. Nobody thought this. Nobody even jokingly asked it. There's another part of it, too. After that sentence, it says, roll the tape. Like, somebody's sitting around like, I'll believe it when I see it.

And then here comes Stanford football's account with the receipts. wind it back. Well, I don't know about that. It's intellectual brutality, which is why we asked that you document it. You thought Jason Kirk couldn't eat two pieces of fried chicken. The haters said it was impossible. Roll the tape.

Roll the tape. I've seen Stanford's account do this before. It's like, I think whoever types the tweets there is emulating, like, Nike's, like, 2014 or so. voice like I talk like pro combat uniform press release speed matters that kind of stuff heart heart heart matters more I have a speedy heart it's a condition

down under is where rice is I manage it with medication rice lost we didn't again we didn't lose to food anytime you don't lose to rice you're not losing to food I think my favorite part about this It implies that Rice was the one that had way too much fun. So if I'm Rice, I'm retweeting this.

Like, yeah, come here and have way too much fun. And also, Stanford has a week off after playing Rice. You're not that tough. I mean, sure, you beat Rice. That's cool. But now you've got to buy a week and week. I'm sorry I made us talk about preseason week. Let's talk about week one.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. God dang it. Although the Hawaii UMass game did go down to the wire. But again, we're not going to talk about. about that we're on we're on to cincinnati we're on to rosa we're on to austin p at cincinnati a real game that's happening on thursday oh god which which we should we should go over the things that we on the shutdown forecast account uh we asked everybody on twitter to go

ahead and tell us their boldest week one predictions we will use this to discuss the slate that is week one in a non-loboreous fashion and let me tell you our listeners Our listeners have been thinking about week one a lot because there are some very, very confident predictions in here that don't actually seem that crazy when you start looking at them, right? For instance, I will begin. And this is with a friend of the podcast at Braves and Birds. A BYU player does something dirty, comma, leading Kalani Satakian at Orderon to have a fight that is miles better than Mayweather McGregor. Hang on, hang on, BYU does something dirty? First of all, Hurricane Harvey has displaced the original BYU

LSU site to, of all places, New Orleans, where they will play on a field. I believe the last time LSU played on that field, they dared not voyage across the 50-yard line. That's how courteous they were to Alabama in the last. game LSU played in the dome. They decided home field advantage, we'll have it, literally,

we'll half it. You can have half the field, we won't even touch it. It's like on a 1800s nautical map, like LSU's map of the Superdome, half of it is just like sea monsters. Darby, sharks.

Yeah, the Pope just cut the stadium in half, and it's like, Jordan Jefferson shall not go over there. That belongs to Portugal and Alabama. Gandalf standing on the 50-yard line of the Super Dome. Yep. Yeah, we run the ball anyway. It's fine, Gandalf.

Heard you loud and clear. I do like the idea of Kalani Sataki and Kocho fighting because they are both built, like, I think you could, I think if this happens, we can sort of like cut out the background and make a video where it seamlessly. looks like they are two non-speaking members of, uh, of the film Roadhouse. Like, and pick whoever you want. One of them works for Dalton. The other one's a rowdy patron. It really doesn't matter. But they have that sort of like late 80s style and build where you're like, oh, you just want to fight in a bar. Yeah. Yeah. A root beer bar. I mean, this is literally a former fullback versus a former strength coach who once got arrested in a bar fight. yeah it's pretty good

and a former former former de lineman too so he's got those feet he's nimble yeah I would not either of these dudes like their cinder block tested meaning you could crack

a cinder block over several parts of their body and they'd probably be okay yeah so if you're saying what will happen these two dudes won't fight now will the teams fight

who boy there's a real there's a real good chance of that happening just for a couple of reasons LSU is going to be very excited playing a playing a random home game basically in New Orleans and they're going to be placed in BYU

I want to put this as a delicately as that possible Hey how come how come LSU keeps getting additional home games that's weird It's weird they've given a couple of those away Oh well I'm sure it'll work out Yeah I mean that's what could go wrong Right I mean it's it is a game of inches But I think they could pile up enough of those to

You know and an emergency situation move the ball, 36 of them. Hey, they're one in one in those games so far. I should also say, for a larger context, we do hope anybody who listens to this podcast in Houston, A, we hope, if you're listening to this, that probably means that you're in a safe space. If you're still trying to evacuate and you're listening to the forecast,

my God, the life decisions you've made. Please stay safe. Please delete this podcast from your phone. We love you. We will, I think we will figure out something we can do fundraise for the full cast in the next week or two, right? Got an email from Adam DeVorek in Houston this morning saying that, you know, hey, you guys should, you guys, please help. Yeah, we're going to figure out a way to do that because situation in Houston, very fluid at the moment. Everyone I know is okay, which is great.

I'm very, very grateful and happy about that. It's a magnificent place. It is the most diverse city in America. It is probably one of the most misunderstood cities in America. It is the fourth largest. It is a massive part of our culture that people underplay. And it's on top of all that, really, really important to our basic economy, which I think people are going to figure out real fast here when 15 to 20 percent of the refining capacity of the United States is dented as a result of this. So, yeah, we'll figure out.

something that we can do for it as soon as everyone's in place. In the meantime, everyone out there with flat-bottomed boats who are picking people off their back porches and second stories. Keep doing it. Please. And Houston stay strong. Let's move on to a next bold prediction. This is from LES Miles at Luke from 2011 on Twitter.

Yukon will beat Holy Cross. Holy Cross goes to Connecticut, 7.30. Thursday, August 31st, on ESPN Trace. Yukon, sure, you'll beat Holy Cross, why not? You have your, you have your, your real dad came home, reunited. He had that dalliance in Maryland, but now he knows where he belongs. And good times are coming back to East Hartford. That's not true.

I don't know. No, no. What do you mean back? You went a little too far. The Whalers will return! I think they can make a bowl at 8 and 5 again. God. Can they make the orange bowl at 8 and 5 again?

Maybe. Let's see. One of my favorite bowl television efforts ever was during that Fiesta Bowl when Yukon had about 19 fans in the stands. So for every good Yukon play, there weren't many, but there were a few. They had to show the same. group of people just over and over and over and over. Yeah, which that's, yeah, I believe that was on Fox, too.

So they really didn't try to hide it either. It was when they were just kind of phoned and college football broadcast in. They're like, show the band. Show the band. Well, what I like, so I'm on Yukon's, uh, the football website right now. And they actually have like a very espion-y look. This would be, I guess, what we call four up, where they've got one main article in four next to it.

The main article that they're highlighting has a picture of Randy Edsel, surrounded by press members. And it says, football coach's show resumes on Wednesday night, which I choose to believe they're like, we don't remember his name. He's football coach. His show resumes.

Get excited. His name may change. We don't believe that he will still be here. God, we love him. Maybe it's like a licensing thing, like how Michael Jordan was never in NBA video games or like how Bill Belichick is never in Madden. Like they just, they don't have the rights yet

to say his name. Yeah. Yeah, that never will. He's QB, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, Cubey coach one. Coach, Coach, one. Cube one. He's coach two at this point,

because this is a second trip, re-coach. Oh, he's like copy of Coach one. This is not a, um, this is not a bobblehead game for Yukon. There are three bobbleheads you get this year. September 9th versus USF. Yes, you can get that Randy Edsel bobblehead.

November 4th versus ECU. You get the Donald Brown, former running back. And my favorite, and the one I really want someone to send me, please. October 28 versus Missouri, you can have a Dan Orlovsky bobblehead. Hell yes.

Are you kidding? Really? It also, and I don't think they planned it this way. He is posed in such a way that, and it's on just sort of a plain green square, that I think I could paint this to look like he's running out of bounds for safety. So he's got the trailing foot back, back a little bit? Yes, yes, absolutely. I really want a Yukon bottlehead that is the sad Husky logo. Sure, the one from like 1952. My favorite college logo ever, the one where it's just existential dread and it's making

that noise it's a very like what I ate tungsten oh no tungsten's not for dogs we'll include this we'll include this with the post but the general look is this

of a dog who sees the door open and goes ah I'm like yeah a dog that's like Why are you always masturbating? Always. A door is... That's one thing he could be saying.

I was going to say, you know, that a door is essentially an anticipated emptiness kind of like life. But, you know, masturbating is also totally there. That dog's wife left him seconds ago. My dog's wife left me. Sharon? How could you? Oh, Jason, do you have a bold prediction?

So, we're, what, 20 minutes in, and we've talked Yukon Holy Cross already, so let's move along to the second and third, so on, most important games of opening weekend. Let's see here. I like this one from Probably Monty on Twitter. Antifa chases Larry Culpepper out of a stadium, uniting the nation.

I think we're all for that. these are divisive times and pretty much no matter which side of the aisle you're on you've had just about enough of all this so I think if we could just get someone to get Larry Cole Pepper up out the paint in week one that would go a long way toward healing the wounds that have split us in half

I would remind everyone that as we've all seen on multiple occasions now, the poor guy who plays Larry Culpepper. Let's not call him poor. At this point, he's a collaborator. We need to start thinking of him that way. We've all seen him in public go out like this. He goes out in the Larry

Culpepper outfit and people will try to get you to talk to him. Like PR people like, hey, you want to talk to Larry Culpepper? And before you can even react the words, fuck no! Like, fly out of your mouth. Like, no. Like, that's the last thing I want to do. I'm embarrassed by this entire thing. The sock

really don't help either. Like they're ill-fitting shorts and bad socks and they look worse in real life. And he's paid to do this and capitalism is evil. That's what I'm telling you. And what's confusing is that like he's he's been a working actor. I'm looking at his IMDB page. He was he did an episode of the X-Files. He was on Carrie's show.

He was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He was on King of Queens. He's been on Parks and Rec, community, Brooklyn 9-9, Vice Principal, like he was in Kong Skull Island apparently sure if you say so like dude's been getting work for shit like 20 straight years pretty consistently he was on sisters Spencer you love sisters hey you know what I was going to say that that this dude is probably making like he's he's getting a living this is a joby job being Larry Colpepper and cool I'm glad you guys of that hustle if that keeps you in primetime network drama work right you have to do if you do

do one last episode of like blue bloods cool that's fine just don't ask me to talk to you in public it just demeans both of us okay but what if they replaced the actor who played larry cole pepper with tom sellick berry cold pepper could we create our own alternate are you in yes oh my god that's the we do. Yeah, too many people are just down on Larry. And like, I think it was a, a well-intentioned idea that just doesn't hit the right notes. But we get, we get Seleck. We put them back in the short shorts. We lose the socks. But people want to see Seleck thighs. That's what they're here for. Mustache absolutely stand. Shirt, too tight. Now, we think that he's an undercover detective for Dr. Pepper.

Oh, yeah, he's trying to get... Maybe at that point, it almost looks like he's trying to work his way to the top of the Dr. Pepper ladder so he can bust whoever's... So he can kill the doctor. Yeah, yeah. This is way better. Why aren't we paid to do this? It's a shame.

Dr. Pepper is not a sponsor of the shutdown forecast. I just want to make that very clear. Yeah. The other question I have here that I want to get to, you know, because we're now going to the least important games of the schedule. This is from at Jacob the Manley. Whoever plays QB for Florida leads Michigan and touchdown passes. You know, that's firm. It's a brisk. It's a brisk statement about Florida's QB play over the last decade. close to a decade at this point it's been a minute yeah i would argue even like with tibos 2009

you're getting close to like nine years of nine years of crap and or at least subpar performance from what you would consider to be a good qb play so you know we're almost a double digits jim you just want to keep this rolling but yeah that's fair because that might be that might be the case because i don't see spate going off on florida's defense because he just doesn't seem like that kind of dude without a running attack making big play action passes behind him. I do see Florida's quarterback situation as a big old unknown and a big old unknown with a pretty nasty defense like Michigan has. That could usually result in a few going the other way, particularly because your best

receivers out. And like three others as well. Yeah. Yeah, this, the Florida Michigan game, we have obviously been down on for a long time because we're self-loathing Florida fans who refuse to believe in hope. or love, or the possibility of tomorrow. Mm-hmm. But, objectively, I do think that, not the whole game.

I do think after halftime, this might actually be an entertaining game. The first half, I think, will be absolute trash, just like baby horse, just born trying to walk for the first time, sticky trash. Mm-hmm. And that, ugh, it makes me sad. Not baby horses, but this game. I don't want it. No, thank you. Before we...

We don't really have a starter, right? Like, that's the official... No, no, they've been pretty blunt about that. And that probably just means that Malik Zaire is so good that they don't want people to know how good he is. Sure. Probably. Mm-hmm.

I'm going to roll Luke Del Rio out there. Luke Del Rio, who pretty much actively hates Florida fans right now, which, you know what? I can't disagree with that. I don't think that's wrong. I don't think that's a bad choice. Or a 12-year-old. Sure.

That's fine. Go ahead. You want to discuss something happy? Well, no, I was going to talk about Thursday. So. You know what? I'm all about Thursday. This is fine.

What's your plan of attack for Thursday? Because technically, we're starting at 6 o'clock. with FIU playing UCF. Are you watching that game? Hell yeah. Whatever. It's cost-free. That's just an hour in the background.

It's at like 6th Eastern, so you put it on. Okay. Let the kids complain about it. Then we're at the 7 o'clock hour, where the only Power 5 teams you can see play are Minnesota, which is hosting Buffalo. And that's it. You can also watch that aforementioned Cincinnati game if you want. I assume we will probably watch some Minnesota because we want to see PJ Fleck unleashed upon a power conference.

Well, yeah, but you know what else we're going to watch. There's a heater in there, like a fun game. That's Tulsa, Tulsa at Oklahoma State. Well, okay, at 730, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm good for that, you know. So before we get to the Ohio State Indiana game at 8, which is, this is my favorite. favorite thing that because it's opening night,

they're going whole hog on Ohio State, Indiana. But they're going... At Indiana. At Indiana. Yeah, not even... You don't even get like, welcome to the big, dark, evil-looking, concrete facades of Ohio Stadium. No, it's... It's at Indiana. It's at Bloomington

where they're like, how to football! How! What's a cheer? Why is color? After, what, four straight years of... South Carolina being the opening team. Like people are complaining about this game as the headliner of opening night. It's better than what we've had in a long time. It's a welcome respite.

And you can say with some honest belief that you're going to watch a playoff team play on Thursday. Yeah. Right? Yeah. I mean, shit. If you're really high on Oklahoma State, maybe you're watching two. It's not. You should watch that game.

You're watching both of FBS's OSUs. I'm looking at you, state of Oregon. All right, so here's my main question about Thursday. Are you going to stay up and watch New Mexico State and Arizona State in 1030? Okay. Well, it's on Pac-12 Network, so that's impossible. Also that. It's not done.

Pack-12 Network. We know what you want. That's the motto. It's impossible. You really should, though. You really should, though, watch if you're going to pick up. on anything other than Ohio State, Indiana. Like, just pop on down.

That's Sebastian Gork, I would say. Just, you know, pop on down to Stillwater. Come, look at Tulsa, Oklahoma State. It's really, because Mason Rudolph throws a beautiful deep ball, and James Washington will be there to catch it. I thought you were going to tell people to watch Famu, Arkansas, just to see if Famu loses. No.

Fami, you know, there's another, there's another lurker. want to know already that's true yeah i was going to say a lot of teams aren't want to know right now actually that's not true is the other lurker north dakota utah no no no i was gonna i was gonna i was going to lurk we're we're discussing upset potential right so i want to go over i want to go over a couple of those and i don't really even know if some of these are upset potential but we're going to give it a shot because this is week one and in week one every single year some tiny Little terrifying baby grude of a team, screams, sends out its woody little tentacles and drags some much larger thing off the edge of a cliff.

There will be an FCS team that beats an FBS team this week. It's just going to happen. And I'm looking at one. You think in Rutgers? It's a pattern. I mean, sure, that can happen any week, really, if you told me. You're like, could Rutgers lose to an FCS team? I'm in Rutgers.

beat Washington at home. That'd be a big upset by the FCS team. That was good. That's on a Friday. That's on a Friday, too. Is this the one where Rutgers is putting like hot tubs in the student section? Yeah, something like that. I mean, here's the thing. Here's the thing. They're like, oh, it's fun. You know what? That's a clever way to mask that not that many people are at your game.

Because a hot tub takes up the space that, I don't know, let's say 15 people would stand in, but only four people can fit in it. So guess what? You just, you know, cut your stadium to a third of capacity. My favorite thing about this is, like, a hot tub, you get in and it's like, oh, this is going to be awesome. I'm just going to soak for like five hours. And then after like four minutes, it's like, Jesus, I can't breathe, get me out of this thing, which is a lot like being in Rutger's student section. So I spent too much time in a jacuzzi at Dan Rubinstein's house in California and got very ill.

So you can get jacuzzi long. It's very real. I'm not making that up. You guys think I'll tell jokes. Not a single joke. Friday seems pretty skippable, with maybe one exception. I am interested in the Colorado State Colorado. Yeah.

Oh, absolutely. I want to know kind of how good both teams are, because Colorado is probably going to regress a little bit this year after last year. And fine. I will admit that I really do want to watch Navy FAU. Of course you do. You know why. you want to see you want to see how much face weight lane kiffins gained the united states military

versus the island of misfit toys versus versus you know a new set of jowls he's growing into him do you think lane kiffin's going to coach in shorts no and not like and not like coaching shorts like cargo shorts like board shorts oh oh okay with a bottle opener attached to him if I would say this, if they're, if Adidas gave them the, the shorts, he would wear them. He'll wear anything that their sponsor gives them, right? Like, he wore that giant, that giant condom hoodie at USC, right? So he definitely. Female condom hoodie.

He might show up in the fam a sweatpants. That'd be a swaggy move, honestly. Why is he wearing a Raiders visor? I hope he hires This is my thing I hope he hires A short Brunette man

In his early 60s It just screams at him On the size You know He should go find the guy From the round ball rock A short Italian man With hairy arms

Actually it would be funny If he didn't yell at him And it was the round ball rock guy And just solo the entire time What do you do? He's just ripping a sweet solo This whole time See what I do here

Is I let people do what they're good at unlike some places unlike some places unlike some dads I will say his dad's working his dad's working for him again right

I think he's a consult I don't think it's like anything super formal his brother is his brother is so there is still the chance that Lane Kiffen can fire a family member this year uh

hey grandma grandma can you meet me in the office and bring your playbook the only thing I keep hearing is Lane Kiffin going I got a new dad and he lets me wear big dog shirts to the office to church

the church the only other game Friday by the way I just want to say one negative thing about this if you watch Boston College at Northern Illinois I'm having an intervention for you and I'm on that line myself, but if you're

wandering over to CBSSN or that BC at Northern Illinois game, we've got some issues going on. I would also like to take this. This is getting us to Saturday. Okay. Okay. Which is at Nick.

This is Nick at Nicky Swags, the Z-71. Fantastic. Eastern Washington beats Texas Tech. My friends, entirely possible. entirely possible there is there's very little reason

why you should advance Texas Tech now down a Pat Mahomes in the NFL busting it up for the Chiefs because he's the truth also because he's thrown like five million more passes than anybody has like if anybody is ready

to play in the NFL run for their life and throw passes from awkward angles it's Pat Mahomes but there is no reason to advance any credit whatsoever to Texas Tech in this game which is at 4 o'clock on Saturday. It is

an FSN affiliate. Good luck. FSGO works about as well as real player. Have fun. So if you do want to watch this, there's a good chance that the Tide for the Big Sky Champions in 2016, Eastern Washington, there's a real good shot at them taking this deep end of the fourth and

possibly upsetting Texas Tech. So if you want an upset alert right there, it is paired on the LSU football net with another one I want to mention. Kentucky goes to Southern Miss. I know everyone's real high on Kentucky. Do you know what the most Kentucky thing in the world would be? It's for everyone to just be completely convinced this is the year they turn around,

go down to Haddy's Berg and blow an embarrassing non-conference game. And then recover. And then recover. Then it's a streak, man. They lost the Southern Miss last year. Yeah. So what's changed? What makes you think Kentucky plays well early in the year?

Much less on the road. Yeah. two upsets two upsets that i think could possibly happen um the good news is if you want to go to eastern washington at texas tech you can do so for four dollars four dollars man that's a deal i'm serious i'm not even being a dick like no that's a great deal one more possible upset this one from at charlie coffman and i think this one's a reach and you'll see why when they stand next to each other. But if Nebraska walks in sleeping against Arkansas State, they can be a terrifying team.

Arkansas State is active. They're mean. They call all kinds of like sneaky little trick plays. They're just they play at a high like pace. You just, they're a handful. And they will be a handful for like a half until you remember how much bigger everyone on Nebraska is than everyone on Arkansas State. Otherwise though, worth keeping an eye on. Who is favored when Vanderbilt leaves Nashville for like a 40-minute drive, if that, to play MTSU? Man, I got to be honest, I have no idea how, who wins this game at all.

Like, I don't, this is, why is everybody super high on Vandy? Is it because they beat Tennessee? why are what who is super high what is that yeah I don't most of the SEC media and I think that's just that's just because Derek Mason's like nice

oh right right yeah yeah at media days yeah vandy is favored by a field goal oh that's about right don't don't touch that with the 10 foot ball it looks like the opening line was vandy by nine and now it's down to three the public

stands with mitzu why wouldn't you um that is a big swing i want to i want to share one that this is the one that i am most worried about is accurate this is from west sparkman at west sparkman Purdue starts Purdue and Purdue things loses to Louisville but injures Lamar Jackson that's about the worst thing that can happen so I'd just go ahead and I'm going to make I feel morally like bankrupt if I bet on an injury, right? Or if I even anticipate it, I will do this.

In my heart, if the worst happens, I will not be surprised because that's usually how this goes. Because this is football, like awful things happen. So I know that we're collective, I feel like the three of us are collectively down on neutral site games played in NFL stadiums, right? Generally, yeah. I'm willing to make an exception for Louisville versus Purdue

being played at Lucas Oil Stadium. I don't look at that game and say, if only it were being played in West Lafayette. I think if you are playing, that should be sort of the proviso, that if you are going to intentionally schedule Purdue or Illinois or Oregon State or Vanderbilt, as you're like, look, we're playing a Power 5 team, we're brave and we're tough, you should have to play it in an NFL stadium. Agreed, especially because this is undoubtedly where Jerry Jones will. you know, see him and go, wow, we gotta draft that. Why is, why is, wait, why is, why is Jerry Jones in Indianapolis?

Oh, dang it, I'm sorry. I had the wrong one. Looking at Arlington in front of my eyes. Jerry Jones is an indie because he's partying with Jim Hersey. God. Actually, oh God, I just, I just did something way worse, didn't I? Yeah, who can play behind this Colts offensive line

that destroyed Andrew Luck. Let's get Lamar Jackson. Pills. Pills, pills, pills, pills, pills, pills, pills. The beast is loose. I know Jim Ursaid has an entire bank full of horrible techno that he made in his basement that he just wants to release. And I think he should. My DJ name is Pilex.

Wow. Hey, do you all want to know the biggest opening line swing this weekend? Please. It is UMass Coastal Carolina, where UMass was a 31-point favorite against the FBS News. on the teal field guess what that line now is from 30.5 Coastal Carolina by two

at some books CCU is now favored UMass is typically a two point favor so I'm looking at odd sharks database and I can't tell exactly when the swing happened but it's been that way for a bit. Yeah

Vegas Vegas swung a little hard with this one holy shit so it's swung by almost five touchdowns. That's a hell of a U-turn. That's fantastic. Damn.

Imagine if you got that opening line. Here's another prediction I feel very, I feel like his spot on. Patrick Lee at PJ Lee 33. Tennessee out gains Georgia Tech by 250 yards or more, but loses by 21. Oh, yeah, Stan. Okay, I'm going to Riverside.

I'm going to Riverside you with BJ Coleman at USS underscore 40-ish. Twitter says Georgia Tech rushes for 562 yards and a loss also probable completely probable I love this game because if you do not know this game happens on Monday night it's all by itself

it's your it's your capper it's your night cap why do you want that attention Tennessee why it's the best because they're going to put it on for everybody to see in public and it could be it could be shambolic for either team really Like, there have been games where you watch Georgia Tech just roll out, and you're like, oh, can you cup?

Nope, not cut blocking? Okay, cool. You're going to lose by 28 in public. You're going to run, like, it's going to look like you're being flattened for four quarters by the team that's much larger than you are, because they are. A Georgia Tech game is like a special guest referee wrestling match where it's like, oh, oh, the ref's actually putting his foot down and not allowing run-ins and steal chairs. Whereas some refs, you know, they realize. that's all within the spirit of the game it's by the letter of the letter of the law yeah sometimes you some go ahead like well like even texas a and m UCLA we're like uh we'd like to play at a time

when another game is happening we'll play on sunday but like please put dub v and virginia tech up why would you want center stage on a day when everyone's off you know what maybe they're like well play it at eight it's a school night so hopefully people won't stay up and watch the whole thing please just just bad choices Tennessee it'll be great because you'll go I don't know if I'm ready for the college football weekend to be over and for most people tuning into this game they'll watch about 20 minutes of it and go I'm ready for it to be over well there's also there's also a decent chance that because it's being played at Mercedes-Benz in Atlanta that there will be left over Bama fans who decided not to go home and decide to go to the game to boo

Tennessee and talk shit. Hey, going to the Tennessee, Georgia Tech game, Bama shirt. If they're old enough Bama fans, they'll be there talking shit about that that rascal Bobby Dodd. They'll just stay there. They're like, what are you waiting for? I'm waiting for Julio to show up.

Just going to watch the Falcons in a couple of weeks. I live here now. Yeah. I brought my gun in here. You can't bring a gun in here. I'm sorry. Oh, I'm sorry. Did the tide not win by eight points?

Looks like I can. And that, just to be clear, that's the most we're going to preview Florida State, Alabama, right? Yeah. I mean, mostly because it's just like. Fine. I don't know, because you're just, it's a push. I don't, they're both really talented. I don't know what's going to happen.

I don't know what Alabama's going to roll out this year, other than a lethal array of foreign star talent coached with immense precision and occasionally disrupted by, yes, a mobile quarterback who runs through like a giant toddler and crashes the entire carefully arranged superstructure of everything Nick Saban worked for it. It's like watching a domino sculpture when a kid just like steps into the middle of it, right? Like the world's largest domino sculpture and then somebody just sets it off. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. We had a 23 minute meeting about what happens if we let a dog loose in the middle of our game. For not.

All right, so I'm going to take Texas versus Maryland off the board here because, you know, I'm not even sure Texas should be ranked. But what ranked team do you feel combination of likelihood and comedy factor could just totally dick trip this weekend? Again, you can't pick Texas hosting Maryland because. Well, in Texas, you don't need the help from us. I mean, Tulsa's offense versus Oklahoma State's defense, could be a little scary. Tulsa's got some turnover there, but...

Tulsa's got the same thing, same problem that Arkansas State's going to have. They're just not... Ultimately, if they're like, we're going to sit on you, you're going to lose barring turnovers. So I don't know if that's where you're looking for the Dick Trippin. The Dick Trippinist. I got, whew, eyes just fell on one, and it's pretty,

they've done it before. South Alabama at Old Miss. Mm. A program in complete disarray. Facing South Alabama, who, you know, they've done this before. They've been in Mississippi State

in the opener, I believe, in 2016. You can't follow the directions. I was like, Ole Miss isn't ranked. No, Ole Miss isn't ranked. But it's fine.

Oh, you want ranked? Yeah, I want to rank Dick Trubb. Oh, Miss. Ole Miss isn't eligible. Why isn't Old Miss ranked? If Old Miss loses South Alabama, that's not even like the eighth worst thing that happened to Old Miss in the last month. That's a welcome distraction. Right.

Are we talking more like App State, Georgia? Yeah. That's not what you're looking at? Are we talking Georgia Southern Auburn? Are we? Yep, that's another one. Oh, man, you guys are really scratching the itch. That's what I like to hear.

Which one of those two would be funnier at this point? Southern, Aubrey, because Georgia Southern is not exactly Georgia Southern these days. Like, this is, this is not the Georgia Southern that beat Florida in the swamp, what was that three or four years ago, went into, went into Gainesville and beat the Florida Gators. With the high-octane passing attack. Sure. Sure. It's a high-acted passing attack that was later successfully copied in the NFL and used

to grant a fact to win multiple Super Bowls. Tom Brady uses the Georgia Southern offense. Don't worry about it. They didn't complete a pass, Ryan. Georgia Southern... No, it's not right. So Georgia Southern was better as an FCS team than an FBS team. App State, like, I think a lot of people like to think that's the case, but it's really not.

App State is better than it was 10 years ago when it beat Michigan. Yes, I know they were one of the best FCS teams ever, but they're really good, and they got a lot more depth than they used to. I'm not saying they're going to beat Georgia. I'm just saying Georgia better read up on what Michigan did and do different stuff. You know, you got the size advantage. You better lean on that. Yeah, I don't. I think the more likely one is App State, Georgia.

And I will tell you this, too, App State, like, it's historical now to not sleep on them because I went and watched Miami at App State. And App State's on the stadium. And I will tell you, everyone at Miami is much stronger and faster and focused than everyone. Like, App State, App State, this is what sucks about Week 1, I kind of want one of these to happen, but then you look at it and you go, I just don't think this is physically possible at all. Okay, but what if after the game gets moves to New Orleans,

BYU beats LSU and the Superdome? Okay, well, now you're talking about something entirely plausible. Yeah. Because BYU's mean. Yeah. And they really like has a size advantage. Like you look, think about BYU LSU as you go, well, that's not really a size advantage there. BYU is plenty of big and burly.

It's just LSU's probably a little bit faster at places that BYU can't really counter, i.e. cornerback, wide receiver, defensive end, all of those kind of jumpy interceptione turnover, creating big play spots. That's kind of the only thing. And also, by the way, this is a test of LSU in terms of frustration offensively because they haven't played a single game under their new offensive coordinator, Matt Canada. It was really good at his job. And sometimes these things take a while with gel, right? And you kind of have to, by the way, LSU fans just ahead of time, prepare yourself for that. Because it's going to take a minute for this thing to sort of hum and for them to figure that out because this is a dry run.

This is the first time they do it. And they don't get to do it against a team that doesn't do things like, you know, occasionally punch you in the nuts in the pile and play dirty and frustrates you. And it's generally really, really super mean. BYU on the field is basically the exact opposite of BYU off the field. Like, hi, guys, how you doing? That's great. Okay, helmet goes on, nut punch. BYU's going no rules immediately.

So two perspectives on this game based on week 0.1. BYU look like trash against Portland State. Portland State is not a very good FCS program. Like, yes, I know they've beaten a couple FBS teams in the last few years, but, you know, I think they went like three and eight last year, something like that. And let's see, BYU passing, 16 of 27, averaged four. 4.9 yards per carry that's including a couple big games, like the offense, unless they were holding a lot of stuff back, did not look encouraging. But the other perspective on that is

it's college football, therefore they will light LSU's ass up. And it'll be on LSU to score a bunch of points. Probably will happen. Nope. Probably not. Yeah, I was, I was going to say probably not, but like, it's not, I don't think that's a very, that's not a recipe for a very pretty game. playing this particular BYU team? No, it's it'll You should This is this is what this is one of those games

Early season that you go Hmm It's a learning experience Definitely a learning experience For probably both teams I think I think it's a good close-out game Partly because it's very different From the usual close-out game

Quadruple overtime 900 yards passing Woo! You know it's more just Just pound you to sleep kind of thing um you the viewer and like yeah yeah i mean it's it's a nice change of pace from this usual time slot and also we've spent about half this podcast on it yeah also i will say this going back to louisville purdue it'll be real fun to watch purdue attempt very ambitious things

now it'll probably go badly in game one against a very fast louisville team oh yeah it'll be like um the colleagues of the right brothers who will like i will also build a plan what The wrong brothers? Oh, no. What are you running? We're running the Otto von Lillenfall offense. Sacrifices must be made. It's a penny farthing with large butterfly wings attached.

This, how fortuitous that this 700 foot cliff is right here? Yeah, they're going to, they're going to try it. And like the bold pioneers of aviation, gravity may be their final mistress. I think my favorite thing about that game is Purdue comes out and like, we're running the quintuple option. Woohoo! And Bobby Petrinna says, we're putting Lamar Jackson under center

and we're going to have him do five-step drops and throw within one point one second and he's not going to scramble at all. We want him to make two reads. If only we could trade playbooks, this would be the most entertaining game ever played. Hey, your quarterback just threw a pick, Bobby Petrino. What are you going to do?

I'm going to damn his soul to hell. I'm going to go where they're getting his eyes and tell him what worthless piece of shit he is. I'm going to give him the worst punishment possible. I'm going to adopt him. Now he's a patrino. Now he's got that rage that won't die. I'm going to take the Arkansas job.

Gradually, we're just going to turn him into Peter Lurie, and I'm fine with that. Can I point you to, I got one question, actually two questions to. Is it why is Notre Dame favored by 17.5 points over Temple? Mm, man, you know? Because that's a good question. Maybe I have three questions now, Ryan. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah, no, that's a, that's a really great question because that's not a, I mean, there are two forces at play here.

There's do I count on Temple football to deliver, right, under new management, I will tell you, Temple football, they're, they're an extremely durable team, extreme, like they're very tough team. They've been good under Matt Rule. They were great along the defensive line, which gives you a chance against any offense, really. And this is now under the management of, I believe, Jeff Collins, former UF defensive coordinator, who was fun. Like, he was a fun defensive coordinator or a coach super aggressive scheme. Notre Dame will have their hands full.

I don't, 17 seems like a lot if you're into wagering. Again, that's not official advice because, you know, we wouldn't condone illegal activity in most states. But, yeah, that seems like a lot. What are your other two questions? I'm sorry. My other two questions are this. One, do we realize that we got a heater on Sunday night? Like a real quality, like a game that I would go out of my,

and we'll go out of my way to watch. W Virginia Tech. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're going to get Appalachian. Yeah, no, it's, it's, this is, this is like unfiltered moonshine, buddy. It's going straight down the golet, lighten everything up. This could be, if you're, if you're, you're looking for, as Jason said, that, you know, 1,100 yards passing, complete excitement

interrupted by occasionally cataclysmic defensive plays, welcome. There's only one real bad spot here, and that it happens in Landover, Maryland, meaning Dan Snyder gets a dollar out of this, and it's played in a terrible field. Like this field, I guarantee you, this field will look like mulch. It'll just look like churned mulch with green paint sprayed on it. That's what you're going to get. Can we get Clemson A&M at this field so their fans can just be appalled by the agriculture and do something to fix it? Like if you put a Clemson fan anywhere near that turf, they're like, hang on, I'm going out to the truck.

I'll be right back. I can't believe you guys did narrate this thing. Jesus. The winner also gets the black diamond trophy, which definitely looks like. a MacGuffin and a Marvel movie. We're bringing coal back, bringing the coal industry back with this game. You can't turn it off, like that kind of thing. It just came on all by itself.

Listen, I'm just saying you can't put this, you can't put this trophy that close to Dana Holgerson's genitals and say clean coal is real. You can't. Oh, that's fuel for fantasies, unparalleled and unexpected. Thank you. You're welcome.

I would, yeah. I guess in my final, I guess my, I got two more points on the schedule that I'm like, yeah, you know, just take a flyer, take a look. One, we get, as every college football hipster knows because we all live Wyoming this year, Charles Fraga, aka Fragnifficent KW. Wyoming beats Iowa by 14 points. No, Iowa's going to win that game because we want it too badly. You think? Will they then turn around and lose Iowa? state next week yep that's probably the bend of the universe right yep yeah because matt

i guarantee you can i be the wyoming hater go ahead can i can i can i take on that brand i want to be the wyoming hater this year i think josh allen is overrated i say that because the nfl likes him um so yeah put me down is nope wyoming they're they're going to get their asses kicked i will tell you that you're betting against craig ball aka mr magoo it's not it's not a solid bet but i appreciate but iowa has two iowa has two ferrances on the coaching staff so yeah if iowa gets to 11 points the game is theirs yeah that's the rule so as long as as long as they get 11 they win this game uh also it's the worst it's the worst exotic casino game possible half blackjack

Half jack Dealer stays That's half jack Think about that's that's half jack You get one card and you stay no matter what Got a two I got a five I got a five yeah that's your score against Iowa

All right my turn You got a one I guess I'll hold I am I am overjoyed at the thought of a game Where Kirk Farrant says dealer stays on 11 and you have to give him $5 million every single turn. It's not $5 million.

You guys don't make fun of our contract with our coaching really good. Only we may make fun of our incredible investment. Only we are to make fun of it. No, no, no, Iowa. We're either all in on the joke. We're all not in on the joke. If you bring it to the class, you better have enough for everybody. Yeah.

You've got to share this joke, dang it. And you're better, because Kirk Francis got enough to share for richest man and I. The last question I have on the actual schedule is this, that, you know, the one team proved mild by Bill Connolly in the off season where he said explicitly that program collapse was in the cards and in the signs. That'd be Arizona. They host Northern Arizona. Not a spectacular FCS team. I don't know if that matters. this just this feels bad it's a very late game and it's against northern

Arizona and it's an Arizona team that really doesn't show a whole lot of like life for potential I don't know that's a theoretical disaster that everybody should just keep their eye on they're not I mean you'd look and say ah but wazoo's playing an fcs team but they're not playing a good fcs team so they're not going to have the cover of the coogs dropping their cooging their usual FCS game away to start the season hasn't stopped Washington State before, though. So again... Fair. Fair. Keep, keep eyes on it

because that's entirely possible. Um, you know, also UAB back. You would be back. Okay. Well. You may be back. I mean, yeah. That's it. That's it. God. Yeah, they're back. I mean, I mean,

yeah, let me, let me warm up a couple of weeks to this, you know? Like, you think somebody comes back from the dead and you'd be instantly like, well, we're pros again. That's cool. It wouldn't be like that. Yeah. Somebody to come back from the dead and you'd just be like, it's a little weird.

I mean, you were, you're dead, bro. It'd take wheat. Right, but you're not Jimbo Fisher. And if you were, you'd think like, man, maybe this is destiny telling me, giving me another chance at the greatest opportunity I ever missed. I hate all these Florida State Beat writers and bloggers and media members. And you know where I can go where a media member will never bother me?

Birmingham. Well, you know, you know what to say? Mama's calling. and I got the chance to go back to the city of Birmingham and try to raise that program back from the dead. It already did raise a little bit, but I'm going to try and raise a little bit more. See how undead I can get this thing.

You know, that boy talks too fast. We won't even transcribe it. There's no point. It would be like Jimbo Fisher had comments, but they were inscrutable and rapid. Jimbo said some stuff. Jimbo said some stuff, and we lost to Houston by 38 points.

Also, the romewomen. raccoons have taken back over Legion Field. They rule benevolently, as they should. You know, there should be like a do-no-harm thing with the raccoons who inhabit Legion Field. Oh, they don't worry. They take their cut of the concessions, but it's fair. I think it's more the other way around.

Like, the raccoons have agreed not to hurt the humans. Yeah. They just get a cut. They're like, listen, what we need you to do is we need you to leave a couple of those old snack pound cakes. They serve at the convenience store. leave a bucket of those every single Thursday night underneath that oak tree.

Well, we have a pretty cordial agreement with the raccoons. They take their cut and they leave us be. It works out nicely for everyone here in the city of Birmingham. They got fast hands. I appreciate that. Yeah, that's... Brody Marino has the question that I wanted to get to, which is as close as I can get to a possible hot takey question this week.

Which is. And that's at Brody underscore Marino. Not some other knockoff Brody Marino. Brody Marino is a hell of a name, y'all. Brody Marino is a full-on, like, movie race driver name. Brody Marino. Well, Brody Marino is the son of a South Florida cocktail waitress who Dan Marino impregnated. Marino is not legally his last name, but he demands that Dan acknowledge his parentage.

Probably. Brody has this question. more of like a proposition to take the SEC has a losing record after we want um this ain't happening it's not happening because there's enough delicious let's count let's run we're gonna count do the numbers okay okay let's just run it through Florida A&M versus Arkansas one I mean Arkansas probably wins that came one no undefeated family that's one one and no for non-SECC Missouri State at Missouri.

One in one. So that's this probably two. Okay. Jason had not split on that one. NC State versus South Carolina. NC State's making the playoffs. Two in one, nine SEC. Michigan versus Florida.

Three and one. Two and two. Two and two. Kentucky at Southern Miss. Four and one. This whole thing comes down to Kentucky. I'm going to just give a tentative three and two on that. Okay.

Charleston Southern. at Mississippi State. Four and two. Don't do this, Mississippi City. Four and two. And CSU is pretty good. App State at Georgia. Five and two.

Five and two. Georgia Southern at Auburn. Five and three. Six and... I cannot determine the outcome of an Auburn game for my life, so I'm just saying six to two. Neither can Auburn. South Alabama at Old Miss. Six and three, non-SEC.

Six and three. Six and three. Okay, Florida State versus Alabama. Seven and three, non-SEC. Yeah, seven and three. Vanderbilt at MTSU. The SEC is down to three and eight. Seven and four.

BYU versus LSU. Three, four and eight, four and eight. Like Notre Dame. The SEC is Notre Dame now. Yeah. Okay. Eight and four. Spencer, you've got the SEC at eight and four right now?

I've got the SEC at a pretty optimistic eight and four. Texas A and Emmett. CLA. Tie, 4, 8, and 1. I'm gonna ride the way because I don't think UCLA can run the ball

like further than the length of like a bull's dick. So I'm speaking to Texas A&M there, so I'll go 9 and 4. Tennessee, Georgia Tech. 4, 9, and 1, which means I missed somebody, which is probably just for that team.

Whoever I miss, 4, 10, and 1. Wait, no, no. I had it right. No, no, I got it. Four, nine and one is right. Four, nine and one. Four, all right. So the SEC is winning four, losing nine and tying one.

Yes. Yeah. I got nine and five. I got nine wins. I got five, five L's. So we only have to flip two games for this to be a push. Mm-hmm. Okay.

It's closer than you think. That's all I'm saying. I mean, it's, I just think there's, and by the way, like, in case you think I'm being super homership. about this it's it's not because they're inherently good it's because there's some some really rich cheese cake on the schedule some deep cakey deliciousness like missouri state yeah and you know even teams like like it's you know what i mean like look at it it could flip a couple of different ways UCLA might come out and just whip texasana i don't know be why you might

manage to upset lSU that'd be shocking to me it would be just based on skill players all miss might decide fuck the rest of the SEC we're intentionally tanking we're dragging all you down to the bottom of the ocean with us or this might be the beginning of old miss's only other undefeated season right the season that doesn't count they gets them like

an interim Matt Luke who turns out to not be that great just inspired for one year he might Bill Stewart this they're like man they'd beat South Alabama by 70 points screw you haters than two years it's like did you know they were handing players actual cash on the sidelines during that

game it's on camera they didn't even hide it yeah i hope it comes down to tennessee georgia oh that would be to salvage 500 for the cc that would be and i hope tennessee loses by 35 yeah although i will tell you the potential for high for embarrassment for high profile embarrassment is there and uh two teams leading the way that's right well must champs last two stops florida south carolina woo woo woo
