Welcome to the shutdown 4k. That's fine. That's fine. That was perfect. I was already thinking ahead, like several sentences ahead. And you know what? Let's just start week seven's recap with an evil laugh, right? Like a really... Well, I just... I want to go on a slightly different. direction if that's okay yeah you can well it was a stressful week for a lot of people a lot of people who probably listen to this program and this is a little bit of a throwback but i thought it

might be nice to bring back a smr voice just sort of like soothe everybody let everybody know everybody's going to be okay so with your permission um if you're listening i just want you to close your eyes feel very relaxed feel your heartbeat feel the hairs on your arms stand up and lie back down and I want you to picture yourself sitting in a chair in front of a lake beyond that lake is a mountain shrouded in very gentle very cool mist

it's very very quiet you can't hear anything but the sound of my voice and a heron flies by glides over the water not touching the water no sound whatsoever and it glides up to this beautiful verdant mountain and everything is just so still so peaceful

and then the heron lands on the mountain and suddenly the top of the mountain explodes and you think oh this must be some sort of volcano and the sky grows dark and suddenly you notice that it's raining but it's not raining water or even ash or magma, it's raining human bone.

At least you think it's human. You can't tell for sure. Tibias and femurs and pettillas and sternums, those little bones in your ear. And all of a sudden, bodies start to float to the top of the lake. Hundreds of them mummified perfectly. Unsolved murders from a serial killer who was never caught because he was the chief of police the whole time and then you see that heron flying back gliding on fire squawking in pain collapses in front of you and coughs up an envelope the envelope is strangely perfectly intact

and you open it and the only thing the envelope says on the inside is welcome to blood week y'all that was all off the top of the dome too grind it and write none of that down that wasn't We don't do rittins on this show. No. Do you feel better? Do you feel better? We were, we record all over. Yeah, man, I feel real soothed.

I do actually. See? I feel like, I feel centered and in, and, um, yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel real tranquil now. We got three, we got three dads in the podcast. Tell me like a good 30 seconds into that when the body started popping up. You're just like, I don't care. It's a soothing. You can keep going.

It's quiet. It doesn't matter. I know. Like a younger, a younger, less sleep-deprived person would have been like, well, that is disturbing because my brain is paid attention to it. Like the sleep-starved dad brain is like, no, ride this. Ride this straight to hell. Take it down. See if I give a shit.

Yeah, I don't care. Those bodies aren't real. And if they are, you know what? I don't have to clean them up. Oh, you know, I have to clean up this house. It's Blood Week. It ain't on my property, is it? We got our terrifying Blood Week.

sacrifices were made garments were rent asunder temples fell the sun burnt out it was beautiful crawl space week crawl space week an entire weekend of Friday night

and here's the thing you're going to say that this weekend began this this blood week began with Clemson losing to Syracuse on the road and you're wrong because what happened on Wednesday October 11th

Spencer Hall and Jason Kirk A 3 square favorite lost The 4 and 1 Troy Trojans at the time Lost to the South Alabama Jaguars who were at the time

1 in 4 19 to 8 Meaning in a single weekend you beat Auburn and suffered all sorts of new transitive losses. So that's when we, that's when the wisest of us should have known that danger and tumult were on the way, but we didn't because we're dumb. That's why you listen to this podcast.

That's why we do this podcast. I would tell you this, that, that if you did not, like, if you were like, okay, well, when did things really start you know like going sideways okay because you know i don't know that Troy losing that's that's something right but it's not exactly it's not exactly like oh man roof's caving in right like we should have known something was going on no when you really should have known something was going on like all right and clemson gets an injury you're like oh okay maybe this is maybe this is really something here okay even then i could say maybe you should just cool your jets you really should have known that something was going on when wazoo lost by scoring only three points yeah at cow i think if you if you tell somebody okay cal at home is going to upset washington state they'll say i can see it i can see it what was the score like 56 to 55 and you say oh no cow only scored 37 huh okay so wazoo scored 36 then he got one in the digits

right the correction to that is where you get them because when people were waking up Saturday morning and seeing the final score it was like hang on I got to look this up at another site because that can't be right like no the notification can't be right I got to I got to go drive down there and see the scoreboard myself like that doesn't make any sense at all and that was when it was clear we were in and like this weekend like you know college football internet veteran people like we always say like oh this could be the big one you know and like if you're just getting into this this sport it probably sounds pretty weird but like this happens once a year you can go back every single year there is at least one weekend like this where just everything falls apart

and if your team makes that out of it if your team wins ugly awesome you survived um but like you know for about a month now we've been saying this week is coming this week is coming and it finally it finally it finally arrived now there are a couple things that you should say for all of us okay the biggest upset of the weekend i guess in terms of profile it's probably not the one i would say this is the most unusual one right clemson losing at syracuse and i will correct everybody we got a little bit of credit for merely seeing this as possible right we did this is how shocking I think it was to everybody else that we said they're squirley you got to keep an eye on Syracuse

and you know that's don't give us too much credit for that one we're wrong just assume that we're wrong if we get anything right and also we have been vigorously overrating Syracuse for about a solid year now we were bound to get it right at some point right this is this is a blind squirrel finding a nut, all right? Admittedly,

a really fortuitously timed nut, but still, don't give us too much credit for it. However, it's not that weird. It's not that weird for a lot of reasons, okay? One, last year, who did Syracuse tattoo in a blowout at home in Syracuse? Virginia Tech, a team, most people thought would, you know, be favored, rolled in, got the teeth knocked in. Right. So as this happened before to a favorite coming into Syracuse under the Dino Weber's administration. Yeah. It's already happened. Okay. Forget their name Clemson, all right? Fellow ACCC heavyweight, right? That's Virginia Tech and Clemson. Clemson admittedly, yeah, sure. Coming off a national championship. Also replacing a quarterback. Also had their quarterback literally knocked out of the game on a weird hit. Like, like I know that's a routine hit, right, when you drag somebody down. But he has, like, Oh, God.

Kelly Bryant's head whipped into the turf. It's nauseating. He just passed out, like, on the field, just knocked cold. And when that happens, and he's already got a bad ankle, and you put the backup in on the road in a really loud environment because when the carrier dome, yes, the un-air-conditioned carrier dome, we are obligated as media members to point out. Carrier dome has no air conditioning.

Can't say that without saying the other thing. The place is loud. Extremely loud. Oh, in Syracuse, they're improving. They've been improving for quite a while. They were begging for somebody. And Clemson just showed up wrong time, wrong night, not actually that weird of an upset when you look at it,

particularly considering the injuries Clemson had to suffer, and all of the things that Syracuse does to put pressure on a defense. It just added up. It didn't feel, like when you were watching it, it didn't feel or look all that weird until you remembered the names of the teams, right? I know exactly what you're saying And I think I know which game you're going to

As the actual surprise Because watching this one, it was just Well, Syracuse looks like the better team tonight Like I know Clemson's better team overall But that doesn't square with what my eyes are saying So because what happened What happened here, right? One, you had a quarterback playing his ass off

Right And when that happens and you have a quarterback Who's just on that night And he's getting good protection He's got a receiver who's making plays for him and they're running the ball steadily. That's bad for any defense. Remember, like, that's the key to beating Alabama.

You're like, well, you need a quarterback to have the, like, night of his life. Well, that's the key to beat in a lot of good teams. And Eric Dungey had a crazy night. Super efficient, made plays with his arm and with his legs. Like, just played through a really nasty hit to his shin, which to anyone who has stepped into their kid's room in the middle of the night and hit the toy chest right there, Eric Dungey did that, but with like a human being's helmeted, like, head hitting it.

So, well done, Eric Dungey. Which he does. It's kind of what he's known for, that, and dunking grape juice on himself. Yes, covering himself in grape soda during a video he recorded for his stats class, singing the praises of statistical analysis. Syracuse is a pretty good school. But this didn't feel like, that didn't feel that weird. Now, which one do you think I'm going to say is the actual huge, massive stonken upset here? I think it's time to consider Arizona State.

Yeah. Yeah. Gonna make that like Tim and Eric Longer. Because like this one watching it unfold was like, how is this still happening? Like it wasn't the same feeling of like one team's out playing each other. It was more of a what am I looking at kind of feeling. And it never stopped. it never got better right you kept waiting for

Washington for the talent gradient to kick in for them to start to lean on Arizona State for them to have receivers break open for them to I don't know get a reverse for a touchdown that doesn't get called back for a holding penalty which which happened except for the part where it doesn't get called back because it did get called back where they looked obviously superior because the gag is Arizona State's defense they've been an atrocity

for what four years running three years running I remember coming into the season looking at this stretch of their schedule and we were saying like they're going to get up 50 points a game they gave up seven in this one

and it wasn't and that seven wasn't until the very end and seven and like even if Washington had made all its field goals it would have been a mere 13 Jason did they make all their field goals they did not one went to the left and one went to the right.

They were both about 25 yards away. Let's just review all of the cardinal signs that you're not going to win as a heavy road favorite. One, it never turns the corner. Like the game never turns the corner, right? You don't have a drive where you settle everything down, right? Two, opponent plays an atypical game.

And the quarterback three, the quarterback plays their best game imaginable, which Mani Wilkins was pretty dang good, made a ton of plays in the first half and sort of managed their way down in the second. Three, you blow a huge fourth down or a huge third down late in the game, right? Crucial late down, late in the game. In this case, were you actually up for the end of this game? When Arizona State went for it? yeah and it was it was what the fuck are you do oh i see what you're doing okay you're just going to chuck it

and it's going to sail through one guy's hands into the other guy's hands just how you drew it up got it so to to review just exactly how many different ways was screwed by the way when washington finally scored in the fourth um you're going oh well and it's probably like a long past austin pedis or something right or like a long run no against the trash Arizona State defense prior to this game. They were outstanding against Washington. They needed 14 plays in 71 yards.

They needed an Odyssey just to cut it to 13-7. That when Washington turned into the other UW. Yeah. Yeah, they turned into Wisconsin. Just rumbling down the field. All sausage in anger.

Just br-hr. It took them that long. And then on fourth and three, fourth and three in the Washington 37, many Wilkins, instead of, I don't know, trying to run the ball, trying to throw short, throws through the hands of a receiver, I believe, if I'm remembering correctly, and hits CJ French love. I mean, everyone expected a quick kick, like, you know, try to draw them off sides and then do a quick kick, pin him, knit the 10, and then just assume they're not. going to finally score a touch. Nope, let's go for it. We're Arizona State. Yeah. It was it was announcers calling the game snap happens voices rise alarmingly like with actual alarm in their voice like and he's going to throw like it was a lot like this was the 10 year celebration of this game but it was a lot like LSU Auburn 2007 when everyone expects that

the kick and hey let's uh let's just go for it all right here yeah even the announcers are like i don't know but okay it worked this is my favorite stat from this game there were four penalties called for 20 yards one five-yard penalty on a asu three penalties for 15 yards on washington i don't think that means this game was played cleanly i think this means at some point the officials saw this unfolding and were like oh my fucking god you guys you guys come watch this hey dead washington over here yeah Washington Washington by the way only like another sign you're only three for 14 on third down when you think of this Washington team or you think of Chris Peterson you think of machine like efficiency no no sir no it was it was like

a machine like when you get it you got to take back you know yeah take back to the shop like a like a like a cornballer every time by the way it's not like Arizona State had an offensive explosion against that nope only 40 yards rushing y'all only it's like 240 through the air yeah I mean this wasn't like a Georgia Missouri shootout or anything like that yeah The stats on this are like, if you actually played a NCAA game with five-minute quarters, that's what it looks like. Yeah, yeah, it really does. And the other thing, by the way, I think 0.5 on my list that you're not going to win, you get iron with a kick. Like, in a good clank to a good insulting glong when you bang one off the upright and it doesn't bounce in.

like that's it when that happened you're like no it's over especially if you're chris peterson standing there and you remember 2010 boise when the only only loss on your record was due to two short missed field goals yeah in reno just never kick not that you get back to reno recreationally a whole lot anyway but uh i think he's taking overland roads to Tahoe if he goes because he ain't going through Reno again. But yeah, this is this is, like

the end, this is the second half drive chart. If you want to know what an absolute stifling grappling match this entire game was counter to every single game Arizona State has played for the last three years. All right? Second half drives.

Arizona State punt. Washington. Miss field goal. Arizona State punt. It's a five play three plays five players Arizona State just kept punning and they were happy to do it because their defense was playing on lock Washington State or Washington

punt Arizona State punt Washington missed field goal Arizona State fumble Washington punt on a three play negative 14 yard drive Arizona State missed field goal Washington the aforementioned 14 play Odyssey just to pull

something out of the Arizona State defense And then Arizona State, they run the clock out with an 11-play drive. This is an AFC North game. This is still not the game I thought you were going to go with. It is a very good choice. See how good this weekend was? The game I thought you were going to go with did not, was not a ranked team losing to an unranked team.

Okay. it did not I would not say it significantly altered anybody's chances to make the playoff because I don't think either of these teams they were done with that all the same but Louisville

you let Boston College score 45 points 45 and and this was one of those games that we were watching it in the office and somebody looks up and says Boston College at the time 42 points and immediately you start running through all the alternative ways I can do that. You're thinking punt return. You're thinking pick six. You're thinking some sort of coupon program.

You're thinking your uncle died and he left you 14 points. You're thinking you roll doubles three times. Nope. It's just six offensive touchdowns and a field goal to win the game. 555 yards of offense. They got out gained by Louisville, as well they should, because Louisville has Lamar Jackson, and Boston College doesn't. But I, oh my God, like, should we give, should Todd Grampman get a statue at Papa John Stadium at this point? That's the other thing I didn't mention. This was in Kentucky.

This wasn't in BC's home, the fiercely defended alumni state. no Papa John himself may have had to watch this buttery explosion dear God got some leaks at the slice got the the big boxes leaking oh the pan boiled over again dudes'll eat burnt cheese though dudes love burnt cheese just garlic butter trickling all over everything and this is um uh Bobby Petrinos new defensive coordinator hire who under achieved at Mississippi State, and historically, that is saying something. Ignoring your doctor's advice and eating double garlic knots, that's the dude. Boston College now has 17 touchdowns on the year, meaning a third of their of their

touchdowns for the entire year came against a team that entered the season ranked, what, like 15 or so? That's good stuff. It's, I mean, Louisville has won ACC win at this point, and that's against a UNC team that is not very good. And looking at the rest of the schedule, I mean, you cannot, you cannot look, based on this result, you cannot look at the rest of the Louisville schedule at Wake Forest, against Virginia, against Syracuse, and at Kentucky, and say with absolute confidence, they're going to win six games. they probably will it would be alarmist oh i'm sorry i forgot the at florida state that precedes all that they probably will still win six games but you you can't at this point say oh it's guaranteed because you gave up 45 fucking points to steve adazio yeah i don't they were they kept going back this game has it updated espn kept interrupting with different updates for it citing the

new last game where Boston College scored X points and it kept going up like well the last time Boston College scored 30 points against the ranked team was 2012 well last time they scored 35 points against the ranked team was 2011 and finally

it kept getting ridiculous like the last time Boston College scored 45 points like Jeff Jagazzynski was the coach and Matt Ryan was the quarterback Hannibal was crossing the Alps with the elephants who all loved Boston College It just kept going further and further back, which had to be, I really wish that was piped into, like, Coach Sermon's, like, headset.

Petrino might have done that, right? Yeah, go ahead and tell him. Pipe it in there. Tell him how awful it is. Tell him he's a dirty boy. He's a dirty bad boy. You're losing to a coach who doesn't even have any hair. There's a really good post at Card Chronicle

Our Louisville blog today about how like You kind of just gets it like Does Bobby Petrano know he's not an offensive coordinator? Like does he know he's the head coach And the defense is technically his fault too And like it's on him to fix this? I would say no He'll just throw him to the curb

Like in case you doubt that the man just treats humans like garbage there'll be no like I don't know I really believe in what he No no wow he's gone I don't who new phone Who this I don't You want your stuff I don't know who you are

There's a there's a white cardboard box Waiting for you just put all your stuff in it And leave We're excited to welcome back coach Grantham He did a great job here at Louisville All the Ramies Lane Like is he such a robot

That he cannot entertain new options Right like It's like who do you need to defensive coordinator the last one i met brian i met brian van gorder in this airport applebees and he's very strong oh come on like like brian van gorder isn't just hanging out in an airport applebee looking for miss lomy hearts where are you flying huh me too hey yeah wow sir you don't have a ticket to get on this airplane yes i do you met this young philly right here

well that's funny because I'm the pilot he kind of you know what I'm like I could buy that like Brian Van Gorders rolling up being like I'm flying the plane I'd be like you you know you kind of look like a pilot actually as soon as it's off the ground just floor it floor it um in addition god we haven't there's there's so much we haven't got I mean there's the game that was maybe not the most surprising

if you just look at the score but when you consider how it proceeded LSU coming back from the number I feel like you can say anything you can be like yep LSU came back from a 38 point deficit to win 2723 I'll be like oh the math sounds wrong but it did feel that way I'll buy it

good job LSU win it way to somehow get points taken away from Auburn like it's like it's a karate tournament or something I think that barn cheating That's a summary Also Should be pointed out that Aubie dressed up as the Troy mascot And

Then Auburn immediately blew A 17 point lead Yeah I mean That's on Aubrey We can't pin that on Aubie though A 20 point lead A 20 point lead At the 20 point lead

Like early in the second, this game was so firmly in Auburn's control. And from, so it's 20 to zero with about 13 minutes left in the second quarter. And for the rest of the game, Auburn scores three points. Auburn took what was looking like a super promising season, had beaten everybody they were supposed to be easily, had played Clemson close, looked like they were going to smear LSU on the road, probably beat Arkansas and A&M as well, and just ease into that Georgia game with national playoff implications.

And no, no, they're just like, they can, listen, they can still win the West, they still control their own destiny, but at this point, the team that could not score a single point in the second half, I'm going to go ahead and say that no, no, they don't. I like how Coach O went from fired after the Troy game to Super Fired when he's down 20-0 to Auburn to, you know, like, crowning, shining moment. The proof of concept, the vision is finally real. You know, I mean, LSU fans weren't saying that. But, like, he just went from like super, super-fired. Why was he ever hired?

Like, this is what happens when you hire the interim. And, like, you only hire the guy because he's from Louisiana. And now it's like, well. Just beat Florida. Just beat Auburn. Little tactical thing here, too. You know what you can do to Auburn when they

start to have to actually pass the ball? You can blitz them. Holy crap. That last series, that last series, and you go, you know, you should fall back in a shell and you should play pre-bent, and you should just keep everything in front of you,

and that's how you're going to win that. Oh, shit! Like Dave Horan, it's like, it got blitz! They were not going to sit back on their heels and just let Auburn get close. No, no, they've sent dogs after Jarrett Stidham. And do you know what Jared Stidham did?

Jared Stidham, not a male man. He does not leap over fences to escape pressure. He lets the dogs just take what they want. He's the trainer, the police trainer, except he forgot to wear his suit that day. All I know is how to offer them my arms. Shit. I'm Jared.

I mean, after that Clemson game, he's out of arms. So, yeah. I'm Jared Stidham and this is jackass This is dog attack That is kind of him being stuck in that backfield So far this year Yeah no they they Dave Miranda like probably my favorite

Defensive Adjustment of and finish of the weekend Was watching LSU's defense just Go full all out blitzes on final drive And absolutely shatter any chances Auburn had of coming back and winning that game after, of course, blowing that 20-point lead. 20 is a lot of points. 18. 18's quite a few points, too.

Yes, I know. Big 12-point adjustment. But remember, at one point this weekend, West Virginia was down 18. Old Dana Holgerson and the Mountaineer mascot sitting there at Evansville, Indiana, like, you know, Caesars, right? Just down on the chips, pile getting low.

And you know what Dana and the West Virginia mascot did? Ordered another round of drinks and doubled down, son, because they overcome an 18 point deficit to beat Texas Tech in Morgantown. Deeply underrated game from this weekend, by the way. Like massively entertaining. Will Greer has just gotten like

so much better since he, you know, stop taking steroids. We'll have a little schoolhouse like... Substances. Unknown substances, which have never been proven. A little moral... Fiber one bars. Lots and lots of fiber one bars.

You know, all you need... to excel at quarterback is good hair and and a regulated digestive system nobody wants to be bound up and backed up on the field no so a little like little mirror lax some like jesus hair a good beard to go with it put yourself in the loving arms of an air raid offense don't take care of what ails you they ended up they ended up beating texas tech after texas tech just, I think Texas check just ran out of points. They're just like, oh, that's our budget for this week. Shit, blew it early.

Sorry, y'all. West Virginia is definitely putting itself in prime position to be the team that will not sniff the playoff, which is fine. I don't think that was an expectation this year, but will just pummel an unsuspecting bowl opponent. Because their two losses this year are both 3,1, 24 losses, and they are to Virginia Tech. I believe that was a neutral site game and on the road against TCU.

Those are two excellent teams to take down to the wire. And, man, like, I feel very good about them getting some slap dick Power 5 conference that's, like, half interested in being there. And then they're like, holy shit, they put up 69 points. They scored seven touchdowns, but then Dana Holgerson took a knee on the last extra point because he thought 69 was awesome which that's going to happen you know who would kick you know who'd go for

two seems transition by the way another team that I'm just calling they're going to get in a bowl game and absolutely like kick like multiple dicks off of one person yeah this will look different what you're talking about but it'll be still painful yeah UCF

I think UCF UCF oh my God quietly quietly putting together a splatter house classic of an offensive season. And I mean that for you, not them. Not them. No, no,

no. They're coming out of that house with the chainsaw in the air. Roaring and happy. Like that's, you're the one who's in trouble if you face that. That team's going to get into a bowl game. They're going to flatten somebody. And we're just going to say all that because, remember

the best offenses in Florida, as everyone predicted this year. UCF, USF, and uh and miami Miami don't don't look at how it happened don't worry don't don't look too close okay just buy the car isn't this car nice look

wouldn't you wouldn't you like to get a hand job in this nice Miami 2017 yeah you would boy yeah buddy just don't don't know put that consumer reports away what are you doing you want to get a hand job I'll be Miami guy, yeah, bro That's your handjob car

You got four cars, okay Four car garage house Mortgage is $5,000 a week Right, right Car one, that's your hand job car Car two, that's the car for moms Love you, moms Car three, that's your other handjob car

For your second hand job lady Car four, that's for church Because again, love you, moms Yeah, and the motorcycles for the feds Because it's illegal to pull over a motorcycle for anything That's right. Look it up. It's the law.

And then Mark Rick walks in in the garage. What are all these vehicles for? Now, you're not having vaginal intercourse in these. No, no, no, no, no, no, coach. No, no, coach. See, we got a system. You know, we just made this up. You know, we just made this up.

But remember that Mark Rick did go to the University of Miami as an undergrad. So if you were like, which car is that? You're like, oh, that's the handjob card. And we're just like joking and just made it up. He'd be like, oh, yeah, yeah, we had those. Different times, different times back then. But, you know, we had handjob cards too. Oh, God.

I'm so happy they won that game, though, because I've now adjusted to the notion that there are teams who only serve as supporting actors in college football, right? and they play their role as well as possible. They're not going to necessarily win, but they're the Brian Denaheys, if you will, of college football. They are the, find a more contemporary example of a quality supporting actor who's, you know, they're never going to get the main bit, but they're always going to make what they're in better.

Yeah. Georgia Tech falls into that category. Indiana, yeah, you fall into that category as well. Oh, your death scene. It was beautiful. especially because we all thought you had already died and then you came back and then you accidentally shot yourself right in the gut.

Indiana is Wilhelm scream. No, there's Sean Bean, man. Sean Bean, you're like, oh man, he's so cool. I hope he doesn't die. He's going to die. Spectacularly in a lot of cases. As they did against Michigan. Georgia Tech also fits into that category

because they're going to frustrate you. they're going to cut block you. They're going to be ruthless and charismatic while seemingly having nothing. They managed to take you deep for the fourth quarter. And then Miami just, I don't know, runs a bunch of screens, gets down the field, throws one pass and wins the whole game. Yay! That's awesome.

Just like we drew out. Yeah, just exactly like we drew it up. They asked Mark Rick about it after the game. And he's like, well, yeah, that's one way to win a football game. which is coach speak for yeah we need to work on winning games another way yeah man the hand job i think somebody cut the brakes on the handjob car because it was it was all over the road today that's that's fine that's fine that's how the system works listen and in both of these situations it is not the first 99% of the experience that matters it's the last percent

and that is where Miami finishes um I was, so wait, so wait, so that means South Carolina, Tennessee was a failed hand job. That was, that was just dry. Just way too much of it. Yeah, if you are, if you are a Tennessee season ticket holder, I have to ask you, why. Think of what you've seen this year. You have seen, you've seen it. An easy win over Indiana State.

That's great. That's awesome. You've seen a win over UMass. Sure, only 17 points were scored by Tennessee, but it was a win. You saw no points scored against Georgia. Listen, Georgia, Georgia looks like they can absolutely make the college football playoff, or at least contend for it. You know, I get the East-West divide, but take Georgia out.

outside of that unfortunate context, and they look amazing. And then you saw South Carolina 15, Tennessee 9. Ah! Got to see a lot of kicking. A lot of good quality kicking, you know, with the U.S. out of the Men's World Cup. I'm not going to see a lot of kicking coming up. Tennessee is filling the void. Appreciate that.

very patriotic of Tennessee? It's okay, well, here's the good news. If you are a Tennessee season ticket holder, you don't have to see them lose to Bama because that's in Tuscaloosa this year. So, cool. You don't have to see them lose to Kentucky.

Also, true. And you don't have to see them. Now they'll probably beat Missouri. Just because Missouri has no, Missouri doesn't want to be here anymore. And I, you know what? I respect that. I respect that Missouri is just like,

my dad says I have to be here, but he didn't say I'd try. Fuck you. What do you have to do? Just try for a quarter. Just try for a quarter and then, you know, we'll get out of here. And then he says we can get slurpees.

And he gets high with me. I love my dad. Spencer described Mazoo as the fighting video game button masher. Totally the button masher. Which I think is perfect. Like the most obnoxious person to play. Like you're playing your soul caliber of street. or whatever and you know like i can beat all my friends and then like someone picks it up they've

never played it before like this is this is harder and then like after they catch you a few times it's just like oh oh okay i get it all right yeah you're like wow man you know what they're going to mention this so many times it's like you know muzu had a thousand yard rusher a thousand-yard receiver and a 3,000-yard passer. And I'm like, yeah, they should have. You know why? They had to throw the ball 40 yards every time just to have a prayer. They had to, like, that was it.

That's all they had. Other teams were like, I don't know, give them this. Let them have this. Let them have this. Let them take it. I mean, that's, and button-mashing too, that's what, now the Cal's Sunny Dykes experiment ended, right? and we have Justin Wilcox, who apparently good enough to just beat you 373 out of nowhere.

Hey, Cal, thoroughly. Something's wrong with Luke Falk, man. This is the year that I really wish border war was still a thing, because it would be really useful to say, hey, who is the worst power five team? Yeesh. Also, button mashing. Button masher versus button masher. the results are random the tactics are nonsensical and the outcomes completely arbitrary well let's let's

come on kansas kansas is button mashing on a controller that's not plugged in i think i mean i think these two in a fighting game it would look more like a dance battle like neither of you're actually trying to make contact you're both you're both doing capoeira by yourselves if if missouri is the button Masher, Kansas is the person who only knows low block, and it's just staying in low block the whole time. Kansas is just doing back flip. Backflip, backflip, backflip.

Kansas is building up the special meter, and that's all. I know low block. Low block. Low block is Florida. Florida's just low block. Low block, low block, low block, low block. We're not going to talk about Florida. I don't see much blocking going on in Florida's plan.

The blocking is very low. happening at a level you cannot possibly discern with human eyes. That's Georgia Tech. They'll come right at them knees. Listen, if you want to talk about something unpleasant, I will make you do this week's ad read. You know what? I think we should go ahead and do those.

Great. I'm going to let you start. Yeah, this one's going to be deeply unpleasant. As you know, Ryan has decided that we're going to raise money for disaster relief. Very sight at this point, because it's a season for that, particularly with her name. And that's far

where are we at in terms of donations and such, right? Just around. We are like probably at like 24,000 or something like that. Okay, to show you how committed I am to this cause. I'm going to read something that's deeply painful because

Ian paid money for charity. And for that, I'll agree to the terms of the contract and read what I'm supposed to read here, Ian. magnificent dick of a man DC is a great city that I love to visit Bob Dylan is an amazing recording artist

Wah Huwa He made me read that He made me read that Now the Virginia part wasn't so bad was it Yeah out of those three things that part went down fine Yeah no wahoo wah I felt like doing the Lego Batman when he says sorry right like DC like I can't get it out of my mouth

Bob Dylan is a no like Virginia is definitely going to win more games in Florida this year definitely they're five and one just like Kentucky they're five and one these are real things we don't make jokes let's see

I'm also obligated Ben thank you Ben for your kind donation I'm supposed to do this my request is that spencer give a very brief assessment on who he thinks will win the world series this year and why so i'm gonna tell you let's let's start here can you name how many teams that are still in contention for the world series can you name one i can name one and i have a good guess at another okay go ahead uh one the guess is the chicago cubs the cubs are yes still in the playoffs

as of this recording. And the other one I'm pretty sure is Houston. That's the other one I know. Correct. Correct. Okay. And do you have any other questions as a Houston Astros expert that I am? No, no.

So now I mean, so now I only really need to tell me if the Cubs are going to repeat or if the Astros are going to win the World Series. The Astros are going to win the World Series, Ryan. And here's why. I can turn this into a positive, okay? Houston is our nation's greatest city for a number of reasons, okay? And I will list them as best I can. At Creamburger, you can get a Frito pie as a side dish to your hamburger.

Frito pie as a side dish. We sing the praise of a cookout all the time for offering corn dogs as a side. A degree and step beyond that in the evolution of, main dishes as side dishes, getting your Frito pie and putting it on the side as a side dish. It's something else entirely. It's impossible to go to the city

without gaining at least 15 pounds. It is ugly. It's not a pretty city, and yet it continues to attract people just like daily. It just won't stop growing. It just flooded, and I bet it's still growing.

He'll come out of this quarter and they'll be like, Houston made money. I have no idea how this happened. absolutely none it is the setting for one of america's finest movies ever urban cowboy and one of the best villains ever scott glenn the wiriest man in the history of humanity wearing a black hat because why be subtle filmed the gillies home of the original mechanical bowl absolutely magnificent oh what what else about houston oh yeah it's it's the home of like one of the greatest rap acts of all time u gk it's the home of fat pat it's the home of fat pat it Houston, the home of Townsman, Zant, who sang about drinking cough syrup before any rapper did.

Which has to be some sort of great cultural accomplishment. I don't know quite how to score that. Ben Franklin did that, actually. I would bet Ben Franklin totally invented lean. That was the one he kept to himself. He said, no, this shit's too good. I'm not sharing this. Just in the baby bottle, like in the zipping on something.

some scissert video just been tipping at the court in france we can probably find that right like like some in the annals of like the french royal family we can go back and see like oh look man there's totally like a recipe for lean in here this is incredible it's delicious it's delicious so yeah that's do i know anything about the baseball team not a damn thing save this they have like two happy Mexican dudes like dancing in belted jeans and button downs as like their celebratory clip they play when they went and I'm all for that set to festive banda

so that's why I think Houston will win the World Series you have facts I have extremely subjective opinions about a city that never gets enough credit nationally so that's I believe Houston will win the World Series I'm going to do my couple, and then we'll close with Jason's. First, this donation is on behalf of the entire staff over at Herloyalsons.com. And as such, they'd like us to know that they donated to the Miami Diper Bank, which aids the tiniest victims of Hurricane Irma,

a handful of older Notre Dame fans, and the Florida offense. Do Irish fans watch other college football teams? The answer may surprise you. Our podcast at Herloyalsons.com provides Notre Dame analysis missing from the shutdown fullcast and revels in the success that castoffs Charlie Weiss and Malik Zaire found in Gainesville. So come visit Herloyalsons.com home of rational takes from the most irrational fans. Honestly, I have nothing but good wishes for Notre Dame this season because this means you're just going to lock Brian. and Kelly up for a long deal.

Just, I mean, you're just going to go ahead and lock. He's going to get the lifetime marriage contract deal. It's going to be wonderful. You're going to be stuck with him for God knows how long. And you'll look back and you'll say, well, why? I don't know. We won 10 games in 2017. Cool.

Do you know how I know this? Because in 2016, you gave him a six-year contract extension. Did they win the national title? No. Did they play for the national title or make the playoff? No. They went 10 and 3. This all takes to get an extra 6 fucking years at Notre Dame.

10 wins. So yeah, I'll be, you know what? I hope you get to 11 because I'm excited to see if that means 16 years. I like the, um, Brian Kelly, like the shots between him and his bosses. They've been, you know, I think passive aggressive enough to where you could see him. him in the statement coming out and saying like it's a bittersweet moment for me extending myself here at Notre Dame um I thought we had to do it just got it over with rip the band-aid off now I know that we are 10 towards anti-fighting Irish here and I would like to say a few things

tilting in the other direction mostly that we have not experienced the college football playoff in a year where Notre Dame is in contention. Even when they're good, they're not quite good enough to be in that conversation. It's a really interesting question because we all start the year saying like, well, we've got five power conferences and we've got four slots to fulfill and maybe there's a Houston or a Navy or a USF or somebody that like, or a Boise State that will maybe be in that talk, but probably not. Not. Notre Dame is the thing that can make this really go fucking south quickly, especially because I can envision a world where Georgia wins the rest of its games leading into the

SEC championship game. Notre Dame also wins the rest of its games, but obviously doesn't have a conference championship to go to. At this point, that would mean they beat USC, they beat NC State, they beat Wake Forest, they beat Miami, They beat Navy, and they beat Stanford. That is a hell of an impressive six-game stretch if they pull it off to close the season. And then I can see Georgia, I don't know, getting destroyed in the SEC championship game. And then I can see the wonderful conversation unfolding. Should Georgia, loser of the SEC championship game, and only with one loss, get a spot in the playoff?

or should Notre Dame with arguably a more full resume, but a loss to that Georgia team, should they get the spot? And I'm only here for fighting and misery. And Notre Dame, you can help me make that a reality. So yes, I hope you do well for the rest of the season. I think I got a Notre Dame scenario that's even better. Please. So Notre Dame only plays 12 games.

The Big 12 used to only play 12 games in 2014. they missed the playoff partly because they only played 12 games now the big 12 champion will play 13 games what if oh god 12 champion oh god say 12 and 1 tc u missed the playoff at the expense of 11 and 1 Notre Dame oh god it's gonna have you just said it so now it's gonna happen yeah because if you go if you go look and you compare schedules and resumes and like and you do them how the committee does and number of bowl teams played, number of likely top 25 teams played, they're going to be pretty close.

Oh, God. I also have to give a few shoutouts to Greg Cavell, Dennis Lay, John Newhouse, and Eric Beesbrock. Thank you for donating. You are all by proxy now, Notre Dame fans. I'm sorry, but that's the way it works. Jason has a couple others, and then we'll, I don't know, we'll talk about something else stupid. Yeah, that's for sure.

from Adam I know that Florida will somehow keep winning beat UGA and win the East end quote So I've been trying this gimmick on this show For the last few weeks that I'm the Florida defender Homer fan

Like the voice of the Florida fan Who thinks this is all actually very good And appreciates the three national titles That this team has won in our lifetimes That's pretty hard at this point man I mean, I think, I think I get it. I think I'm starting to see the other side because, to be quite honest, I don't see this team making a bowl game right now.

I agree. I agree with you. Like, like the Florida Gators have applied with the NCAA for an exemption to become bowl eligible at five and six, which gets them into the independence bowl. Like that, like, no, bro. That ain't, like, what, four years after four and eight? No. I think they should get four.

and seven because they did have a game that got canceled due to a hurricane and if they have the APR or scores they think four and seven should be good enough yeah well you don't have the APR well shit I'm gonna enjoy I'm gonna enjoy when we get the because this is I wrote about this today but it's pretty much all you can write about Florida at this point that the cycle never changes just get a coach who's going to be given in four years to do a mediocre job with the little shadow puppet kabuki drama of we'll replace a coordinator in the final year it'll make it it'll make a difference and change everything

and there won't be time to fix it were either the coordinator's good no no no no they weren't did they have outdated ideas spotty resumes oh what's that you don't want smarties for dessert good news we have runs but

Adam stipulated Florida beats you GA Wednesday East so a lot of people have already given up on the cocktail party this year because Georgia has been good and Florida has been bad as if that always matters when it comes to this game I'm not making a prediction

I'm just saying I think I would never make any sort of a confident prediction on this game it is you can go back and look it up um this is the most unpredictable major rivalry in the country uh so but but here's here's here's the second part it how do you get to the wins the east part because right now florida has two losses in conference and georgia has none are we saying that george is going to lose to

auburn i guess could at that could although there is a there is an entire like ream of notes like tomes of notes full of stuff kirby smart has as let's see the defensive coordinator who shut down Auburn in recent iron bowls yeah I think he's going to be familiar because I was thinking the same I don't know Gus has some notes too does he he used to he might uh he might uh he might He might have lost him or something. I mean, listen, I will, let's examine the world in which Florida beats Georgia. Yeah, that opens things up in the SEC East. The problem is, I think it's for Kentucky. All right. I mean, at this point, with my own ambitions, hopes, and dreams, long since scuttled and laying at the bottom of the metaphysical ocean,

I'm entirely positive and happy and content with Kentucky blowing through the rest of this division, having the best season in the Kentucky Wildcats, like history, basically, that'd be fine. I'm okay with it. That'd be great. Also, who's their only loss? It'd be to Florida. I'd be like, yeah, you know what? I'm going to let you have the best season, and you're still going to have, like, a baffling loss, just sitting there.

I like the idea of Texas A&M tagging in as the SEC East champ, like the only team that's like, stand back, we'll handle this, but we have experience, we know how to, how to stand up to a bully. We'll handle this. Don't hurt yourselves. Because, like, so far, it felt like A&M was the only team all year that, like, actually wanted a piece of Bama and not in, like, you know, squirrely underdog kind of. away just kind of like well we're here to do what we're here to do and hey fuck you what happens arkansas scored nine points you asshole arkansas got a large piece of bama i'll grant um so yeah i think what we have adam we tried what we ended up with unless florida and third in the cc east behind a and m in kentucky but at least we got it out of george's hands okay so that's something and now you have maybe the most diabolical read we've received um throughout this whole process us please go ahead from chris pendley is well must champ the head coach tennessee deserves

no no i mean if you if you can't beat them and you can't repeatedly so coach puncho boom is clearly making a tour of the cc east having already collected two badges uh as the head coach at two different schools. Adding a third, got to be next on the... I mean, where is he going to go? He can't leave the division. There's a court order, right? That ankle monitor, it's pesky. It only functions in like a six-state radius.

He's tried to chew through it, but it's made for rhinos or something. I mean, look, for, you know, a bowl game, how far do you get, Birmingham, okay? So the thing just does not have much of a range to it. So what is Will Mushchamp Moza known for? in the Tennessee rivalry. Anger? But, like, as far as his record against Tennessee.

Oh, just the lack of a positive digit in the loss column. Yeah. All he does is make Tennessee lose. Therefore, yeah, he's the perfect head coach for the Tennessee. Can I do this? I have an alternative idea. If Tennessee were real crafty and wanted to. to use the resources that they had at hand

in order to cut down at the margins and eliminate the problem of Bill Mustchamp coaching against them in the SEC East. What would make Will Must Champ happiest in life? Answer, running a gas station poorly. Okay. Where can he get his very own gas station? That's right, the Haslam family, who owned Pilot,

one of the largest gasoline station providers in America. It's called pilot because this gas is for planes. That's not true, Will. We keep telling you, you've got to stop fielding up planes. Now, I don't think just one gas station. I think you give him three because, remembers football's a three-phase game. We just say, hey, listen, Will, it's just a three-part problem.

There's offense, defense, and special teams. And in one case, there's going to be one big, shiny pilot, flawless, going to have, like, bathrooms you'd eat. out of the urinals, right? Like, just amazing, clean, spotless customer service, top to bottom. That's the defense one, right? That's the one that will Munchamp actually works on. Then there'll be one that's on fire.

That's the offense. It'll just be perpetually on fire. Don't worry about that. It's on fire. And then there'll be special teams. That'll be fine. That'll be fine. A lot of the little debbies and stuff will be stale.

But otherwise... Yeah, it only takes cash, which is a little bit of a pain. but it's fine. Yeah, that's fine. Why does it only take cash? Because I don't trust the government. That's Will Must champ. Just give him three gas stations, let him run them poorly, and he'll just leave football.

He'll be, that would make him so happy. Before we depart, I would like to acknowledge that, yes, Ruckers won a big 10 game. hadn't happened in, I think, two years or so, but Illinois, you understand what it is to exist in a world where, listen, we hear so much about income inequality in this world, homelessness, the 1%. Illinois said, Illinois decided to do something the fuck about it. They said, listen, this Rutgers team, which has only beaten Morgan State this year, which lost the eastern Michigan. Like, you know what?

Let's put a W on that schedule. And they did. And you know what, Illinois, you're not going to get a lot of praise for that. And maybe that's because you have a coach with an insanely high buyout because you think for some reason the NFL will want him back. And you're not wrong. The NFL is very dumb. But you did a good thing for another person.

I don't know why. But you did, and I'd like to acknowledge that. On the other hand, Ohio State, total monsters, total monster assholes, eight touchdowns against Nebraska. How could you? Like the assholes of monsters. Think about how much corn you consume Ohio State in its various forms. Giving a whole new meaning to Pacific Rim. Jesus Christ.

I do want to acknowledge a couple of other things while we're rolling through acknowledgments at the very tail end of this podcast. I want to acknowledge that the Michigan State Spartans are five and one. I don't know how it happened, and neither do you. Let's not pretend, but they're five and one. My single favorite, my tweet of the weekend from this past week was Robbie Callan said both Michigan State and Minnesota look like they're point shaving. And I mean, if you're in that kind of tangle, the Spartans are one. bro. It's really by the way, real hard to

fight that when you get the fourth quarter 21 point burst against Michigan State like oh crap numbers ain't add up boys need to put a few in the end zone or PJ's losing an arm I would also like to go ahead and congratulate Texas

because I know you lost by five points to Oklahoma in a game where everybody thought you were losing by 50 Ellenger's coming along I am the Texas optimist this year not just because I'm placing some sort of Spangali-like faith and what Tom Herman can do as a coach, but there's talent on this roster.

They played really well. I'm going to continue to Sunshine Pump Texas just a little. Not that the aristocrats need all the help, but just to state factually that this is a team that's improving and perform better than people thought they should have. Speaking of teams performing well beyond what they thought they should have, Utah, with no semblance of an offense, managed to, I don't know, almost beat USC

and they did the right thing if you did not see this on the road after scoring a TD where an extra point would have tied at the end of regulation Utah went for it Powell Whittingham just just said fuck it we're going to win it or lose it right here one play and

and they lost and you know what that's you got at one point except that the ends the ends really aren't what you're doing it for what you're doing it for is philosophy And Utah, teamed perpetually with nothing to lose. Playing a USC in L.A. I really, I love the call.

I don't really care whether they got it or not. Because that's the kind of thing that later on will reap benefits by people just being absolutely terrified of you. I'm completely with it. Sometimes you've got to lose a fight to win two or three down the road. That's what I'm calling this, y'all. So, well done, Utah. You won 27, 28 this week. Did y'all know that Jim Mora can see the future?

I just learned this. I'm not making this up. Because, well, UCLA lost badly to Arizona, 47 to 30, dropping them to three and three on the season. And I think with just one conference win, yeah, over Colorado. This is the last thing Jim Borer tweeted on October 9th. so a week from a week ago Monday when most people will hear this before that Arizona game only at UCLA go Bruins and then that is a manual retweet of the sun setting over UCLA campus he knew he knew he was going to die he knew he was done he saw it in the stars because

that's what the sun is a big star that slowly burning and somehow sustaining life and we'll eventually take it from us, including Jim Mora. Another thing, Jim Mora didn't really foresee the meteor that would hit him because that meteor three weeks ago was a backup. That'd be Khalil Tate. If you're not following Khalil Tate, I'm just going to let you in on Cleo Tate. Khalil Tate is small.

Khalil Tate is essentially a neutrino. He is a tiny little, often invisible thing that can pass through lead, linebackers, defensive tackles, defensive ends, safetys, concrete, thousands of miles of earth, anything, a theoretical particle that, I don't know, has over 200 yards rushing in consecutive games, which I think the last quarterback to do that was David. the original David like I don't it's astonishing to watch him and what he's doing right now and it's also kind of a shame because most people

are only seeing the box score dude split safeties my favorite run in football right when somebody is so fast that they hit between the hashes and both safeties look at the other and go oh god there's 15 feet between the two of us

and we're not making it yeah but while you're right and while the nuclear comparisons are apt. The UCLA defense is one of those uninhabited islands where you test these bombs. A neutrino can also pass through crepe paper

okay? It doesn't have to do anything outlandish. Sometimes it just goes through a nice silk kimono, all right? That's what Khalil tape. Hello, we're the UCLA defense. We'd thought it'd be fun to see if we could make a football pinata.

Hit us. Candy. Yeah, that's That also got That also got Atlanta Falcons defensive end Former UCLA Bruin To Carras McKinley to tweet UCLA football doesn't lose to Arizona

Straight embarrassing Which if anyone knows anything About blowing a massive lead Why have we got to do this? He wasn't there, okay? And look, now they're losing to the Dolphins so the Super Bowl's not going to be an issue. I was going to say, we got him caught up.

We've interested him in this newsletter. Anything he missed, he's all caught up on now. Yeah, Khalil Tatis, absolutely unreal. My final shout out is to Rod Gilmore. Because Rod Gilmore, if you haven't listened to Rod Gilmore, Rod Gilmore is the most conservative announcer in football. Do you know what's dangerous? everything. Everything will kill you

and everything is too risky. It's too dangerous. Rod Gilmore is the little video game companion in the side who's always saying things like, like I wouldn't go in there. It's dark. And this is a video game. There's probably bad things in there. You should just stay out here and see if you can find collectibles. Like he'd be the guy GTA who's like,

hey, you want to go hang out with that gangster? He's like, no, he does crime. You should go find a beverage. and maybe see if you can buy a new shirt with some of those credits you earned from performing good deeds. Don't go in the forest until you have a shield. That's him. He's the video game assist set on the most

like school marmish, nannyish, worried, anxious. Like there is no amount of risk in football that Rod Gilmore embraces. Are you sure you don't want to take the driving tutorial? It's recommended to take the driving. tutorial before entering a vehicle. I would take

the run pass option tutorial. You just got to throw it away. Like straight drop back pass on first down. He's like, oh! Whoa! Most, I don't like it. I don't like the call.

Like, this situation happened. Mark Rick from time to time, both at Georgia and now at Miami, sees the value of trying an aggressive onside kick, right? There are some people who on-side kick every play in football. Kevin Kelly, for instance, does it 90 to 95% at Pulaski Academy in Arkansas. It's a famous case of how risk is generally mismanaged in the sport of football.

Okay? Mark Richt, being real wacky for a big college coach, tries one, I don't know, once a year, twice a year, coming out of the second half. He's good for one or two. And it's great. It's worked before, it's failed before, like anything you try. not a real high percentage play to begin with so coming out against Georgia Tech to be fair

a team known for mobbing the ball owning the clock sucking all time of possession up and taking the air out of a game right in a close game Miami tries something which I think is fairly sensible they try for an onside kick

right it doesn't go real well the guy who's closest to the ball for some reason just kind of stares at it like he doesn't know it's live and then on the chase if you watch the clip the georchette player picks it up and the guy rather than pursuing just falls down in despair knowing that he's given he just like goes belly first like oh man listen sometimes these companion missions your video you're the it's just the computer doesn't know what to do okay

it's dangerous and when this happened the noise rod gilmore made as it happened was like and then a brief moment of getting his composure and his first comment was, I don't like it. We're like, no. I bet Rod Gilmore sees, I bet Rod Gilmore sees Taco Bell commercials and he's like, oh God, they put,

they made the shell a fried egg. I have to go lie down for a week. I would prefer not to live Moss. And I can't live the exact amount I am currently living. Rod Gilmore, live menos. I just love... Live a C-S-C. Like, he's my favorite announcer for all these reasons,

and I know we've talked about this before, but just how he keeps winding up in these predicaments where poor Rod Gilmore has to be the voice of reason who's being totally ignored, just the chaperone who is, you know, the kids are... The kids have taken over the school bus entirely. I just haven't, Rod. The minute they lined up and the kick went onside, I started laughing out loud knowing that several blood vessels in Rod Gilmore's head just blew up. A cold sweat broke out, right?

He's like, oh, I got to go get my backup backup suit now because you know he traveled with like the backup backup suit, right? I mean, I think you got a punt to the aliens here. You can't put Randy Quaid in a plane. Oh, geez. I just, now there's a full list of things I want to like enjoy. joy with Rod Gilmore. Like, let's watch an episode of Magic School Bus, right? This bus,

oh, it's flying. This is not That's not a normal. That's not sealed for water? That's not waterproof at all. I think the school bus should go to the library. You know what it was? You know what broke him? He

played at Stanford. Mm-hmm. In the early 80s. Mm-hmm. He was on the field. One of them like. Yes, he was. The craziest play in the history of American football.

Where I'm convinced, by the way, you can divine the basic DNA of someone's essence, right? By watching that play. And there were one of two reactions. This is the greatest thing I've ever seen Go Bears or there is. Oh, God. That's it. That play snapped his soul. I mean, you know, like we say all this lovingly, but it would be easy for,

someone to judge Rod Gilmore you know oh you're so boring he's so conservative tell you what bro you try and live through that

and you come out and say you go deep and all that stuff see how tough you are then oh you'll be trying to punt on

first down too I think we should I think we should keep the band in a different stadium altogether just to be safe why would you

why would you why would you elbow the trombone player because it's festive Rod it's festive he's on the field

it's live what's he doing there i just won i'm gonna elbow drop the trombone player
