ShutdownFullcast11
00:00I mean, that's some hotness if you're talking about Auburn, Georgia.What a finish.What a finale.What chaos.But low, conceded SEC fan.Let me tell you, that kind of hot action happens every week in a little conference with the big name.That'd be the big ten.Oh, joining us since Celebrity Hot Tub flaked out on us to spend time with his girl.
00:30girlsyouumjoining us isuhadam jacobiIowa fanand uh
00:40our residentbig 10correspondenthello AdamhelloSpencerwow did you hear thatdid you hear that clear
00:49dictionthat enunciationdo you hear that kind ofso learnedyou knowTom Broca's in Iowaand uheverybody
00:58so everybody from thestate talks like tom brokaw you're welcome rest of the nation wow damn see walter kronkite wasalways my guy because he has just a little bit of texas behind the way that he would in tone so evenfrom the beginning my formality was redneck is what i'm saying brocock and brocock and suck it umso i was going to ask you we discussed this you're an iowa fan and before the season even startedI said you guys were going to win, what, eight games?I believe you did.I think you tabbed it at eight and four, and lo and behold, they're on that pace.
01:41Six wins right now.Six wins, and two games that I was afraid were not winnable at the beginning of the year,but it turns out Michigan and Nebraska are horrible at football this year.it's amazingthat kind of by the way the mentionthe mere mention of Nebraskais what got us talking aboutthis in the first place because
02:05while the SEC is sitting a gog overthe fish to Auburn Georgia which to be fairdropped the pants of my mindwhen it happenedthat Nebraskajust had oh you knowlittle Hail Mary to finish things offagainst Northwestern no big deal
02:22yeahit was and it wasn'tyour standard run-of-the-mill, Hail Mary.No, no, no.It was a third-string,eighth-year, former walk-on seniorwith the three at the end of his name,throwing to a guy I've never heard of
02:44who might also be a walk-on.I don't know.You've never heard of Jordan Western Camp, have you?Of course not.Sir.He plays in the Big Ten, so.I mean, we don't, we don't know him.Was he, was he three stars?
03:01He never said, Taylor Martinez.I'm sorry, who?Who?He's the most dynamic pseudo-quarterback in the United States.And it was a game finisher, a game winner, not like the pedestrian hailstrian hailed area of Auburn, Georgia,which left much too much time on the clock.Oh, no, this one.was as the clock struck aughts.
03:30That's a good point, because the Auburn, Georgia finished.That one kind of oversigned on time, so to speak.As far as time goes, it was a little overweight as well.A little, yeah.I mean, you figured if they were better at math,they could have looked up and noticed that they needed this many secondsto run off the clock before it.But whatever.
03:51Yeah, well, you know, that's,I guess that's just the difference between two conferences,when one of them values academics and one of them doesn't.Hey, you know what?We don't need to count our sacks.Also, we only need to learn a new number next year when it becomes seven in a row.Seven.Seven.
04:10Set of six, son.Those are our talking points, by the way.They're sent around on sheets of crayon written on the back of R.C. Cola boxes.Actually, it's just posted in the back of the Kroger.Post it out back of the Kroger.Says you'll be back there anyway.Yeah, you know, it's out back of the Kroger and or Hogvale.Same thing, really.
04:34One's on the Internet.It's the back of the Kroger on the Internet.Hogvale.net, y'all.I was also going to ask you, by the way, since I am so right about all things, B-1G.And we did discuss Northwestern as a disaster last week.But I'm going to broach a subject, Jason, since you're kind of an apostate, SEC fan.Because if you don't know, I'm going to expose Jason for what he is.He's a southerner, but he's not an SEC fan, particularly.
05:05That's true.I thought you were a dogs fan, Jason.Yeah, there's kind of this mystery about who exactly I root for.I think a lot of people assume Georgia.Some people think Georgia Tech.Some people think Florida.I got mixed up with Spurs.Spencer and Mr. Hot Tub, so some people think I'm a Florida fan.
05:29But, yeah, I don't root for any SEC teams.Yes, being a Kennesaw State, Al, go owls.His loyalties are to a team that plays, you know, recreational football.That's not pseudo-professional.Club hockey team.Yeah, they do have a club hockey team, right?Yeah, we're real good.you in alabama by the way alabama also very committed to hockey weirdly enough i think it's
06:01because i think it's because it's the sport i think it's the sport that white people dominate sosecretly also i was reading today that they have a very good tv ratings in uh soccer did you knowthat that's so i did evidently that generation's going all wrong pal unless unless it's partof nick sabin's plan to recruit kickers on the cheap which is a really i think it's sort ofIt's sort of just where they stash extra wide receivers and cornerbacks.You ever thought about playing soccer, son?Did you sign a kicker?Yeah, man, I signed 11 up, and they called the soccer.
06:36We call them midfielder's, but oh, yeah.Is that Lionel Messi on the bench?Yeah, you know, he just hasn't done the things he needs to do, gestures with hands.But I was going to ask you, in the Big Ten, I really do think that there isSlight market improvement overall throughout the conference.Slight.I'm not saying the pool is full all the way up to the blue tile yet, right?Right, right.
07:09Now, certainly it's better than last year.But that's like saying that having three fingers is better than one finger on your left hand.Are you describing the Big Ten as the lizard, which can regenerate not only its tail, but its limbs?So it's sort of got one grown back and then maybe part of the back one.And it's like, next year, three legs.Now, what I'm describing the Big Ten as is in 2012, it was the hand that was holding the firecracker that blew up and all the fingers flew off,except for the ring finger, as luck would have it.in 2013 they got to the hospital they were able to reattached two of them and maybe we can maybe salvage some quality of life here son but you really shouldn't have been drinking and playing with fireworks well now what they do with those other two fingers are those going to be turning into sausages and then what y'all eat up there uh we bronzed them
08:12and turn them into a heinous rivalry trophyThat's it, the old bucket of fingers.Those are for the Rutgers-Nabrasca rivalry game coming your way.Yeah, you need some new ones, right?So I guess the bucket of fingers is the new Rutgers-Nabraska trophy.Problem solved.This is for the old bucket of fingers.Somehow it's been played for 116 times.
08:41They're just now in the conference.Nobody knows how.It's got right on the side of the bucket of fingers.the results from 1842. It's amazing.Somehow, they painted 137 games worth of results on the two mingled fingers.It's amazing like that. Actually, you have to give a finger after the game.So someone from the opposing team has to donate one, which is then bronzed.Well, from the winning team, it's more of an honor.
09:10That would be the most Michigan man, who's giving us a finger?and that's why they sign one polydactyl every single recruiting cycle, right?Damn dude's got seven fingers, man.Take one off.He can't even feel those two little nubs on the end.You think you'd be a better wide receiver, but no separation, none.Got Will it by December, only seven fingers.The bucket of fingers.
09:36I also wanted to ask you about a few unknowns in the Big Ten, i.e., I do actually,I think Bill C is very big on them, Bill Connelly, our superb writer, at SVNation.com.He's big on them.And what I've seen of them, they got royally screwed in one game and nearly beat the best team of the conference the other.That would be Wisconsin.Oh, I thought you were going to say Northwestern.No, Wisconsin is a team of absolute utter ass blasters.And I don't mean that in a sexual way.
10:13I mean a you are going tomedical attention kind of waythey're phenomenalthey are gettingscrewed beyond beliefby the pulseinvestors the BCSand for whatever reason
10:28it's probablyit just comes down to schedulequirks or whatever butif you knowevery metric that actually takes into accounthow many points you scorewhich is what teams are trying to dothe entire time they're on the field
10:44rates Wisconsin highlylike top 10 highlyyou take the points outyou know again a brilliant moveand they're rated down by like northern Illinoisand it's too badbecause if you actually watch themyou're like how in the world
11:01would my team beatthis teamyou know unless you're Alabama but if you'reAlabama you're not watching Big Ten footballfor any reason whatsoeverbut you know90, 95% of college football, you're like, Jesus, these guys are good.And they are.
11:18They only lost to, you know, number three, Ohio State by seven points.And Arizona State, another really underrated team by, you know, what was it, one point or two points or whatever, they really shouldn't have lost.That was just a screw job of epic proportion.The only thing I, the only thing that I, the only weakness I know for Wisconsin as a team all around is taking a knee.That's the only thing I've seen them, that's the only thing I've seen them do a shitty job of all year long is taking a knee.Everything else, they even look, this may be overstepping a little bit, but to me they look more together than they did under Bilema.Imagine that.They brought a guy from Utah and all of a sudden they're running a type of.
12:07leadership? Like, who could have saw that coming?Then Brett Bilema, who, you know, I'm, I, listen, I'm not going to, I mean, Jayes, we're not, we're not going to make too much fun of Bilema in reality, right? We're just making fun of Brett Bilema. Not the situation he happens to be in in Arkansas, right?Well, there's a lot. There are jokes to be made. We could avoid them if that's what you're saying.No, no, no. Let's plow headlong into them.did want to uh now that we've discussed the big ten never let us say that we're partisans weput like 12 minutes on the big ten damn i know that happened it felt like 12 hoursit felt like driving across illinois the big tent the big tent hey missouri's in conference nowthat's the one that takes the longest to drive it hey you know which one i saw a meth
13:02anagram sign in what it was illinois i do not i do notrecall what it said. I do recallthat it said M-E-T-Hand it all stood for stuffand it's telling me not to use meth.But that was in Illinois, not Missouri.You know, the southern half ofthe southern half of Illinois,
13:21most people say,ah, you know,that place is just like,you know, it's like the ass end of the universe.No, quite anatomicallycorrect to say that Illinoisis a bowel.It's just this, southern Illinois is just
13:35this enormous bowel in Chicago.just does all the eaten and then it processes out through the southern end ofIllinois and goes straight into Memphis where does it flow goes right inMissouri and Memphis just it's like it's kind of draining the Great Lakes likefiltering the Great Lakes it does it's really the United States is a self-cleaningup so the Great Lakes maybe it's kind of like an infection and the state ofIllinois is there too it's just a just a bandage that was just slapon top of it. I think the Great Lake starts
14:09out fine, and then it has to pass throughChicago. And thenonce it gets through Illinois,it then has to sort of processdown through America's bowelsinto its genitals, which areprobably located where?Cave and Rock.
14:25You're sayingthere. Idiot.New Orleans!Oh, that's right.They're right there. I thought we werestill talking about Illinois asits own separate entity.No one. No, it doesn't deserve that.
14:40You don't deserve that.You don't deserve that. You insulted Southern Illinois.You damn right.You know where I've lived? I lived in Florida. I'll insult anywhere I like because I lived in the worst.I lived in the worst least probable territory in the United States.Like Arizona makes more sense than living in Florida because I'm pretty sure Arizona is going to be there at 150 years.That's a good point.Yeah. I lived in a place where people still, like, how stupid is it?
15:07But people still sell houses in Florida.Nobody at any point goes, oh, yeah, you know, it's going to be underwater.No, no, no.They're like, nope, it's a house.You know what's even stupider than that?Buying them.Oh, yeah, but some stuff like hotcakes.It's 90 feet from the water.
15:27What could go wrong?Water's pretty.$1.2 million for an apartment?Sure.Hey, they say the water's getting closer.I call that an investment.For now it's beachfront.Soon it'll be island front.
15:43That's true.I'm going to be living in the Venice of America.That is, by the way, the serious, like when people talk to you about Miami, they're like, oh, no, listen, those global warming freaks.It's going to be like Venice.It's like, have you smelled Venice?Okay.Now, imagine what Miami's going to smell like.Imagine what happens when jet skis become a form of commuting.
16:04How's that going to go at Miami?Answer, poorly.Very poorly.It'll be like they've been planning for this for a long time.I know.It'll be Jeremy Shockey everywhere.That's it.It'll be just Jeremy Shockey on a jet ski.
16:21I'm in Kellynne Winslow.Millions of them in one city.Millions of Jeremy's Shockey.Yeah.Oh, and just try to keep Coke out of Miami when you turn the whole thing into water.how's that going to go?So the brief diversion into environmental science aside,I would like to go ahead and state that, yes,
16:44the only moment of what I think is a rather lackluster yearfor singular moments,not involving defensive tackles,catching fake punts for TDs,would be Auburn, Georgia.No?I mean, am we missing anything else that sort of made your jaw dropbesides that and the Nebraska
17:04Northwestern Hail Mary.That's basically it.I mean, those two sort of broke the curve for everything else.Like, oh, yeah, you know, that one team, I think it was Fresno State,ran a really cool fat guy touchdown trip play.Like, yeah, all right, but Hail Mary from 75 yards off a tip to a guy who wasn't even looking.Like, okay, that wins.You win.
17:30Yeah, and there's been the standard range of, oh, that's what?really good catch and everyone kind of yells about it for five minutes and then never remembersit again like the UCF catch the one-handed diving catch that ended up contributing to the winover temple which went over temple um that's a really good catch you know great maybe we call thatthe catch of the year and then we don't have to call anything else the catch of the year becauseyou know all catches are pretty good so i would i would do this catch thoughts i think thata lot of what we would consider to be like superpurb highlights are probably being played out in places where they don't get seen enough.
18:07For instance, if you put together a highlight tape of everyone that Andrea Williams at BostonCollege has buried this year at running back, oh, he's had some, he's had some heinousruns against admittedly shitty competition for the most part. But remember that BostonCollege was the only team to sort of put a scare into Florida State, you know, prior to a briefphilip of competition a brief lip of competition in the miami game and i think they solely did it becauseandrea williams is terrifying yeah like not just his highlight runs like every week he's justtrampling somebody and looks like a dad playing with his kids but like looking at the numbersum not only does it lead the country in rushing and total offense he's doing it by himself like
18:55the boston college passing game ranks like one 15th evenKadeen Carey gets more of a passing game than André Williams does.It's, I mean, the most valuable player in the country, perhaps.I would agree.For a given value of, like, you know, singular dominance surrounded by mediocrity, he's there.You know who he reminds me of is Troy Davis, you know, at Iowa State.Oh, yeah, yeah.Because, you know, when he was, you know, racking up the 2,000 yards on some just heinously
19:29bad teams you know he was doing it by rushing like 45 times a game every single game and peoplewere like yeah those yards for carry aren't that great he's only doing that because he's rushingit 40 times game that is the hardest thing in football to do like you after 30 carries youshould be like I'm just going to go to the hospital now like I'm done forever but yeah no likeLike Jabbar Gaffney, all right, all right.I was about to say Jabar Gaffney because it's very late.But I was going to say.Tyler Gaffney.
20:07Tyler Gaffney.It's Stanford.Thank you.Tyler Gaffney, when he had, was it 42 carries?Yes.For an average of something like, you know, four yards.Lower.Yeah, I mean, it was, I mean, it was mind-boggling because it was a lot.
20:27like watching someone put up225 on their backand get out of the rackon a squat, right?And you're like, I can do that five times.I can do that ten times.He just did it 15 times.Holy crap, he did it 30 times.
20:42Watching him do, like, watching him doreps of this extremely basic runover and over and over and overagain,I mean, it was, it was just, it wasastonishing. You're like, man, this iskind of boring, but kind of majestic.the same time.
20:59It's sort of like the big time.So, you know, if I could just get back to, I'd like to say a kind word about myfootball conference, these gentlemen play a stellar game while maintaining a rigorousacademic standard.It's like watching weightlifting.You know, it's so impressive when you get a degree from Wisconsin.That's my favorite.When somebody cites, I've complained about this before, but when somebody cites the value
21:27of a big 10 degree.They're like, oh, yeah.I mean, that's just, you show them that Indiana diploma and like, boom, six figures.When you're 55.Maybe.Provided they don't doubt, I just move the company of Texas.The University of Minnesota, the Harvard of the Yukon.Did you see that?
21:51That's an Illinois man.It's the best, it's the most, like, you have to say that for SEC fans.I haven't met in many of them who are like, yeah, man, he went to Ole Miss.I mean, don't mess with that brain.Smart boy.A smart boy there.I mean, he had to go to Delta Community College first, but he got there.He got Ian.
22:17I noticed you guys danced around the ultimate degree to be had in the Big Ten, which is, of course, Ohio State.Oh, no, no.you want i don't want i'll dance right into that if you wantthey're the worst they're the worst about this by the wayoh yeah and which is ridiculous becauseit is one of the least academic environmentsin the entire united stateslike their coach showed up in a sweater vest
22:45and they're like what is thishe looks like some sort of superprofessor like we got smart people on campusbut this is next level.They're the ones full sight.Oh, you know, Woody Hayes,he made people call him Professor Hayes.Because he was crazy.
23:05Right.Not because he was smart.Also, if that's a quality professor you have on campus,probably ought to shut up about your academics.Yeah.If he's capable of holding that position.Yeah, for a sustained amount of time, by the way,including, you know,
23:21assaulting someone in the course of pursuing his academic dutiesas Professor Woody Hayes.He ate a pigeon during half time during one game.I'm just 70 to 80% sure that's true.Didn't look it up, but it's probably right.I didn't go to Ohio State.I can't go to a library and figure that out, obviously.Wow.
23:43Because, you know, you roll up to Wall Street,and you're like, I went to Ohio State.Man, those Princeton boys, shit in their britches.The doors just swing wide open.Everyone just ushers you right through.Good, good.We needed someone to figure out the situation.Did you say Ohio or Ohio State?
24:04State.Oh, my God.That's great because the shuttle, it's in an orbit, but it's degenerating.And meanwhile, they're like, I can make a bong out of an apple, and I took some marketing classes.If I could recommend a course of action, I would say we call the shuttle asore loser.I'm going to make this sign of a vaginawith my hands. If you see, the
24:30index finger and the middle fingerare put into an oval, thus signifyingthe entry to the uterus, aka thevagina, and I will show this at aninjured player, possibly one that's been paralyzedon the field. Also, thatshuttle's dup.The other, by the way,
24:46the other guy who, like, in terms ofhaving a moment where you sort of, like,dropped your jaw,I am now numb to it, butit is still watchingJonathan Manzellthe 15th watchingwatching him play quarterback is now
25:02it's now sort ofyou're kind of numb to it because you've seen it but it's stillspectacularI agree with thatbecause not only does he just still doingamazing things it's something different every timeso basically he's like the arcade fire ofquarterbacks
25:19no because they suckI have no damn idea what that meansyeah noJohnny Mansell at no point in his life has goneI need this to be anthemicWho is the arcade firequarterbacks thoughThe arcade fire quarterbacks?
25:36Oh, Tim TebowTim Tebow was the arcade fire quarterbackI need to be dramaticSiriYou need to give me more timeI'm working on something brilliant back hereI need to emote and move to Austinand then move away from Austin.
25:55Stop knocking me over.I'm composing masterpieces.Can you sing along with it?Take eight minutes.Eight seconds.In concert, we must all switch instruments,which are all autisionaland have been made of reclaimed wood,
26:11which was not taken from a living tree.So you might have stumbled in.I think you stumbled in two peoplewho don't really like Arcade Fire,one on principle, one from a...experience, Adam. That's another cultural gap, by the way.This is not a stump. Oh, no. People from the Midwest love them some anthemic white music.Believe me. I knew what I was getting into here.
26:37Back to pass, and he's holding a hurdy-gurdy.I would laugh so hard if that happened. Like, if the lead singer of the arcade fire,Pip? I'm going to call him Pip.If he justif he just sort of got a Stephen Godfreylooking ass, dropped back from under centerclumsily, right, because he's got big knees,and he just threw a hurdy-gurdy down the field.
27:07Oh, that'd be magnificent.But I would go aheadand, by the way, also remind you that somebodywho has played spectacularat times quarterback at his level,okay, and playedprobably the best game of quarterbackI've seen this year in person.
27:25And I can't get it out of my mouth.Do you know who I'm going to say, Jason?Just thinking of who you've seen in person.And it was nails in this game.He was amazing.Is that an ambulance I hear pulling up?Oh, that'd be Dr. Bo!Yes, sir.
27:45That's granted, it's not an ambulance.It's a hearse with a disco ball on it.But it'll get you there.Mississippi. It'll make do.Cop will let you go. They see something shiny on the road.They want nothing to do with it.Presume it's one of them interterestials.Yeah. Might be the devil.
28:02Just let them go.It's that Joplin spooklite I heard so much about.To go slice of Mississippi, we found them.Yeah, no, that's the best game I've seen in person,quarterback-wise, which may be damning with faint praise, butConsidering the first game you went to was A.J. McCarron versus Logan Thomas,and I don't think you've been to many otherwise.But still, yeah, Dr. Bo.
28:36Dr. Bo was throwing dime, son.He was unreal.He was not Logan Thomas, and that meant a lot.Adam, have you been to, have you been in any games this year, actually?Of course notI weren'tI worked 12 hours a Saturday for you guysOkay well you know just asking
29:00You knowYou can catch itAnd it's not like they play on Thursday nightUp in the Big Ten they don't do thatOh noThat's trueAt least you know kind of the luxury of being able to do that hereYou know because
29:12You know down hereWe play footballI'm not even jokingWe play football six nights or seven nights a weekYou can get that TuesdayWe just include the Mac in thereYou can get TuesdaySunbelt Wednesday
29:26Hey manThe Sunbelt was doing TuesdayFor the Mac WestYeah they wereThat's trueSo like yeahWe get five days a weekAnd if you don't get a game down here on Friday
29:35There's high school gamesBest gambling in AtlantaIs this trueIs that a validSubculture of AtlantaOh yeahOh yesgambling on high school games is real and it gets real real when you go to
29:54Miami oh god yeah astonishing amount of gambling so um looking over that if we'veexcused the exemplary and outstanding players and or plays from the year thus far Ithink we can move to the weekend which kind of an odd weekend not reallytotally building to a crescendo just yet.There is a very large game in Stillwater, Oklahoma,between undefeated Baylor and the one-loss Oklahoma State Cowboys team.Jason Kurt, discuss.Well, the thing is, there are many important facts in the world today
30:44about these two teams.I was just thinking about Adam's,What is it?Board 10th grader book reports on...Board high school student, yes.Board high school students.Y'all got to go read those.Blackheart gold pants.
30:56They're hilarious.Yeah, obviously looking forward to this game.Kind of think Baylor's going to win.Stillwater's going to be pretty crazy.Nice late kick.Oklahoma State, as we've discussed, is a very hard team to pin down.We know what Baylor's going to do, but Oklahoma State, no clue at all.Baylor's banged up.
31:16just lost an offensive lineman today or yesterday.So, you know, it's definitely a game with a lot of questions in the air.A lot of factors.There are many factors in the world.There are undetermined quantities surrounding this game.Some would say there are factors.And that if a running.back for one of them, he would be a
31:48factor fact. And then if a quarterback were one of them, he would bea quarter factor.The thing that I'm, by the way, I'm going to this game. I like to say this a lotbecause it's awesome. And I want everyone to be very jealous of that.Even though it's Stillwater, and I don't understand how everyone isn't really excited to goto Stillwater, Oklahoma, in November.It could snow, by the way.Well, you go there for
32:16the for the visuals.And there's nothing quite aspicturesque and breathtaking.It's Stillwater, Oklahoma.The snow cavern peaks ofStillwater, Oklahoma.When the frost starts ticklingthe red clay
32:31or something.You don't even know if they have red clay.I never set up in that state.Glaciers are breaking against thecoastline.When the hailreally begins to teeter in,Across the glass trees.
32:49When the sleet causes you to slam into a cow.You know, the cows, free-ranging, free-roaming, they're worshipped, as gods.When the migrating dinosaurs come home to roost.Oh, now you've gone too far.Oh, sorry, sorry.That, it is, by the way, allegedly a very good crowd.is also susceptible to earthquakes, if you'll remember.This will be Kirk Herb Street's first time back in Stillwater since the Great Earthquake game.
33:25Do you think of Musterger's going to mess with him, like jiggle his chair a little bit?All night.Yeah, constantly.All night.And, like, Kurt may be legitimately freaked out about it, and Brent won't care.He's probably gambling on how Rattledee can make him.Can I get him?Can I get him to cuss on air?
33:43I'll give you a five, too.I can get a shit on air.We'll have to hit the button.A couple of my guys out in Montana have pretty good numbers on how many cuss words I can get out of him tonight.We've never really discussed that Brent knows bookies in Montana.Yeah, that's good gambling.Cool.If a river runs...
34:02It's even better than offshore.If a river runs through it is to be believed, it's the kind that can get you beaten to death.Yeah, that's how he likes it.Yeah, that's exactly.Because what's money?What's money to him?He's 900 years old and profoundly wealthy,just based on all the winning he's done.
34:19Yeah, it's all a thrill.Remember that Brent Musburger was the kind of guyused to run the toll booth from New York to Connecticut for funwhile drinking a 16-ounce moosehead beer in a can.Yeah.Governor Montana.So remember, that's the kind of guy where you're just,dealing with.
34:42Yeah.Curve Street.Watch your back.Yeah.That's other things of note this weekend, by the way, just to take a look if we want to lookaround.Late kick for Baylor, Oklahoma at 8 p.m.I am outside, by the way.
34:57And my neighbor's dogs are stupid.My apologies.We have working in reverse order.We have, I think, an interesting game, Missouri at Mississippi.The late game for the SEC, starting at 745.which speaking to Dr. Boe, Old Miss is 7 and 3, which I'd kind of lost track of them and thought,oh, they're probably like, you know, yeah, you know, like I had no idea what their record was.And then you look up and you're like, well, hell, they're 7 and 3.
35:25They're right there.That's a spectacular.All they're pretty good.And I don't, like, coming into the year, if someone had said pick the biggest SEC game of week 13.Well, you got A&M LSU, that's pretty big too.But, Missouri Ole Miss, ranked versus ranked.Who saw that come in?Top 10 versus top 25.
35:50So A&MLSU has no bearing on the SEC championship whatsoever.Yeah, it's just really good.But Ole Miss Missouri, like, that's going to decide a whole lot in that conference,or at the very least factor into it.So that's going to be fun.And also, have you guys seen the betting line on it?It's like two points.So, like, there's a very high probability of shenanigans happening late.
36:19It's going to be awesome.Yeah, and then everybody on Twitter all at once going, back door cover, back door cover.Oh, God.That's, yeah, we know you can count.Now, I would think shenanigans at this point would favor Ole Miss.Mm-hmm.do we agree or disagree there and it's at it's it's at oxford so right yes and they by the wayvery similar teams in terms of how they kind of do things both spread teams both do a lot of
36:51perimeter runs old misses defense might do one of those things where they just show up and wreckedshit that's every now that like that's what happened in the lSU game they made the threeplays they had to make, right? And just, they, they have nobody. Like, name a starter who isn't,you know, named Kandke. Or Mike Mary, right? I happen to know Mike Mary up the top of my head aswell. And then after that, uh, Jason Johnson. Now, well, the thing about, I mean, the thingabout all those young guys is they're either going to play really great or not so great from weekto week. Whereas Mizzou, like, what are we going to get out of James Franklin that's going to surprise us atall we know exactly what he's going to do he's going to throw it for 285 yards you know like
37:37he's going to have a a good game but old miss if they all play it great then everything's offthe table additionally um this is i believe is this miss i don't think they've played therei don't think they played in oxford i think last year they weren't on the last year they weren'ton the schedule so this is a or if they were they played in missouri so this will be theirfirst time in Oxford, so we can't really state that, you know, oh, they've got that stank recordthere. We have no idea. They went to almost in 2007. Oh, my gosh, they did. How'd they do?They won. They won? Okay. All right, that's it. All my money's on Missouri. Now, we're also talkingabout Gary Pinkle has been to the Grove, and he thought he mastered it, like, oh, yeah, I got this,
38:29I got this, and I was going to go back and, you know,maybe go a little too hard this time around.Hey, Grove 1, Missou, Zero.That's all I'm saying.Thus far.Cleaning up the SEC, by the way,kind of a lackluster slate for, you know.America.
38:44Not so fast.Not so fast, sir.I know, I know.We've got LSU, Texas A and Lurking there.We also have the bitter,probably the bitterest game in the SEC this week.That'd be Vanderbilt at Tennessee.yeah there's that too yeah yeah that's not what you're thinking but no no no no no no no it's a nasty little rivalry
39:05and one that by the way tennessee could steal like this is a game tennessee could pull out pullit could no that's just funny what a thing to say Tennessee could steal from vandervillebecause that's that's kind of the correct way to say it that's funnyTennessee would be stealing from the homes of fanderfield crats the only way they get to bail meedPaul.You had, Jason, another game in mind.Well, just the entire SEC SOCOM Challenge, we look forward to it every year.Alabama Chattanooga, Florida, Georgia, I mean, yeah, Florida, Georgia Southern.
39:44Which we could lose.Georgia Southern is down this year, and I still think Florida could lose.Clemson-Sedadale, that's an honorary game, as is South Carolina, Coastal Carolina.I even think we include FSU, Idaho as an honorary game there.Just really, really excited because somebody is going to be winning by like eight points in the fourth quarter and everyone's going to make fun of them.Georgia's Southern Florida.That's a few, there's your, there it is.Big dumb Will Must Champ football.
40:13Looking across going, someday we're going to compete with George Souther.I'm at that point where I'd throw Will Must Champ to a wood chipper.HappilyNot reallyHe'd probably break thatHe wouldHe'd be likeI got this wood chipper
40:30Just going to grit through itAnd make a playIt's like gnawing on his legAnd he's just getting pissed offAnd the thing just shuts downJust snags on his legPunches his way outAnd then comes and sits by you
40:46And talks to youWhat the hell was that?What was that about?Why did you throw meon the damn wood chipper?I had emotions, that's why, irrational emotions will must champ.But looking outside, you know, the conference, LSU, Texas A&M, by the way, it'll be awesome.It'll be a mess.
41:09Just an absolute bloody mess.But looking outside God's conference.Adam, anything of note, how fair is the Big Ten this week?Well, I'm glad you asked.I don't know why we got Irish there.Believe it or not, there are some actual, like, games of consequence in the Big Ten.There's Iowa against Michigan?Was that really the one to start with, sir?
41:45No, it is because, you know why?It starts at 12.01 p.m.They're like, no, no, no, no.This is too hot for noon.We've got to back it off a minute.I mean, if we're being honest,the conference season's basically already over.It's Ohio State and Michigan State.
42:06They're going to play in the Big Ten championship.I mean, technically, I guess Minnesota is still in the running,sort of, but they have to beat Wisconsinand then go to Michigan State and win.And I love Minnesota.I love Jerry Kill, but let's not kid ourselves.So that's never happening.As a blast, I would strongly recommend that you watch Indiana at Ohio State because they're the chaos team.
42:37And that means that they could hang around in a 45 to 45 game late, or they could lose by 80.And either way it's going to be entertaining in its own perverse way.and if you're going to let Illinois hang around in a game.I like that you said they, and what about?Well, I was going to say, if you let Illinois hang around in a game,you can let anyone hang around in a game.Ohio State.Yeah, they're probably going to be a little upset about the fact that Baylor is within hours
43:21of taking over the number three spot.Well, that ain't fair.Well, it is.It is.So either they take it out on Indiana or they watch helplessly as Indiana rolls up 45 points on them.They still win by double digits if that happens, but it's still going to be funny.I now love this role that Ohio State is in of being like the perpetual second banana, the overshadowed.Like, keep what, what, what?
43:48Yeah, no, no, kid, get out of here.we're talking to the stars i signed with the studio first yeah whatever go do some voiceovers i got a real star right herei hope that uh albert brier the the nfl dot com reporter i hope he keeps up every sunday the thing he wasdoing on on uh this past sunday and the rankings were coming out just like like profound upset personOhio State being, you know, losing ground to Baylor and, you know, stuff like,well, Baylor doesn't have as many players in the NFL as Ohio State does, so Ohio State's better.And, you know, the whole thing's not fair.It's like, well, yeah, it hasn't been fair for 150 years.
44:42It's not really supposed to be fair.You guys want to hear my mixtape?No one wants to hear your mixtape, Urban Meyer.get back in the green room.Anything, by the way, that Michigan-Iowa game,such a strong chance of being like our 6-3 game, right?Yeah, absolutely.I mean, you guys know what Michigan does on the road, and it's not good.
45:12So, one, there's literally no chance in Michigan wins that game, none whatsoever.But at the same time, it's Iowa.football, and Iowa football is, like, equally horrible at random times.So there's a profound possibility that both teams lose.I don't know how, like, it's not supposed to happen.Like, they have rules against that, but they're feeling frisky enough to break that rule.I, uh...Now, a whole Michigan crack 10 rushing yards is the big question.
45:46no no absolutely not i think that they abandoned the run i am going to say uh i'm going to take thatthat bet adam jacobi i am going to bet i can't believe this is a bet i can't believe this is somethingyou can say realistically about michigan about michigan you ready i write this down put it in bronzeMake it a rivalry trophy.That me exactly, that Michigan and Maryland as rivals.I don't even know if they play.They'll share this plaque that says,I predict that Michigan will have more than 10 yards rushing against Iowa,
46:33a six-in-four team in the third week of November.That feels so good.What I really like is Michigan is doing that with a top-10 drafthalf pick on the offensive line.How damn bad are the other four guys?Are they even there?At times, no.I mean, they're trying.
46:59They're trying really hard.Yeah, I don't want to make them feel bad if they're listening.I'm sorry, guys.They're trying.Football's a hard.It's a football is a hard game.Hey, they're doing way better than I would be.That's for sure.
47:11It's hard to football.I'm not so sure about that, Jason.Jason might actually have the humility to just attempt to dive into the knee every play.Yeah, well.As opposed to, I got that.Just hold.Just hold every time.You can't lose rushing yards if you're holding.
47:29That's a penalty.It's true.It's not negative rushing yards.Yeah.For making up plans.Other games of note, by the way, BYU at Notre Dame, which you won't watch,because it's not at the same time as Texas A&MLSU.looking in the pack 12
47:50not exactly a robust weekalthough Arizona StateUCLA you got two ranked teamsplaying at UCLAand you got Todd Grahamversus Jim Mora whichI think our highestI'm not sure exactly what the two
48:07coaches what attribute the two coacheshave in commonmaneuverabilityThey're bothYeah, they're both portableIf they're appliances, they're both very portableJim Moore is a steady washerThat you can wheel in and out of your house easily
48:28And Todd Graham is the one that might walk out on its ownNow, if I'm Larry ScottAnd I want to make sure this is the game of the dayAnd this is drawing eyeballs away from Baylor, Oklahoma StateI call up both of these universitiesAnd I tell these head coaches that, hey, the winner gets the Texas jobeven though it's not true.Oh, golly.
48:49They don't need to know it's not true.Yeah, they don't need to know that.Just dangle that carrot, that big orange carrot.Yeah, but when they say it's not true, Jim Morrow would say,I don't think that's true.And in his head, he'd go, I don't think that's true.And then Todd Graham's mouth would say, I don't think that's true.And in his brain, he would go,
49:05ooh, boy, howdy.Hook him.His brain's already on Zillow looking up houses.Oh, nine bedrooms.His brain is actually in Austin.He learned how to throw his soul,and he can do it farther and farther over timethe more he practices with it.
49:28I've got three games between FBS programsyou should not watch.Three.You're forbidden from watching them.That would be Cal Stanford.Only three.Don't watch Cal's O and Eight in conference.One to ten overall.
49:44Going up against an angry, hurt, and scorned Stanford team.Cowell's going to do that throw the ball 55 times bullshit.For 3.2.God.It's their only choice.Their only choice.It's literally all they have.I didn't pick that offense out for him.
50:05Pittsburgh, Syracuse.Don't watch it.Don't.God.That game's poop.Poop that you put in your eyes.Yes.Don't watch it.
50:16And the final game that I command you not to watch at all would be Duke Wake Forest.Because you might watch it for the curiosity of, oh, it's Duke, a good football team that beat Miami last week.And they're going to be playing Wake Forest.Who will be annihilated by this Duke team?Another thing which doesn't feel quite as good to say as Michigan.Michigan gets 10 rushing yards, but that's close.Can I throw in a bonus pick?Illinois at Purdue.
50:54Yeah, you just got Trump.You just threw down Illinois and Purdue.What are you going to do about that?Man, I think you might want to watch that.No, you know.I've seen them both.You don't want to be within the same area code as that.I just want to see what happens.
51:11No, you don't.now here's something to watch for if Purdue goes up say three to nothingcertainly they won't go up to seven nothing but if they go up say three to nothingmaybe there's a fumbled kickoff or something and then they're able toimmediately kick that in for a field goal you're going to see Illinois coaches justclawing and tearing at each other like dropping foesthrow on each other yeah it's going to look like a cartoon meleewith like cloud of dust and just visors flying out of it
51:42Little ampers sands and number signs floating in the cloud.But not cussing.Yeah.No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's, it's the cloud, the big rumble with, like, I challenge the flying out.Just in Bill Cube, and just Tim Beckman's voice booming over, calm down, quiet down.Don't do this.Oh, God, that's good.And then finally, another game I'd like to highlight.
52:15We're not talking about anything that's happening on Thursday, by the way.It is the Rancas Thursday slate of any Thursday slate this year.I think it's a very good Thursday night of college football.Luckily, there's no NFL game that night.Don't even watch it.Don't even tune in.Just watch Rutgers' UCF.Really good game.
52:31Aren't the Falcons playing on Thursday?Nope.Nope, just watch Rutgers UCF.Atlanta Falcons.Nope.Rutgers UCF is going to be really good.in the entire country.Watch that.
52:40How are the Falcons doing, by the way?UCF is 8-1.Pretty good chance at a BCS game.That's not the Falcons.Played in Bortles.Matt Ryan.He went to Boston College.That's good.
52:57Most everyone's watching UCF.They playing the Falcons on Friday?Because if they are, I got B.C. by two.Finally, you're late games.You're into that kind of thing?We got two 10-30 games.I will tell you and command you to watch Boise State and San Diego State,because all San Diego State does is play insane games.
53:23And all they do is, like, punch you in the face.Not even a punch.It's more like a shoulder charge in the face.They have, like, three running backs are, like, made of cartilage.It's just really hard.Just a big, a big blow.lock of cards.They have one of my favorite unsung running backs, Adam Moemma.
53:47Adam Moemma is nasty.He's one of those like shins and elbows runners, just like trying to tackle this bigold rolling ball of, you know, bowling pins.There's not a good angle you can take on him that won't hurt.He's going to elbow or knee you somewhere.He's a lot of fun to watch.And, you know, in between them and Boise State, this actually might be like that entertaininglate-night fantasy game that
54:11you've really sort ofquested for this season and really sort of notgotten. Yeah, it'sbeen a little lacking at night.Yeah, no, this could actually be,I think, an excellent game. Also,Washington, Oregon State,not as obviously appealing to me
54:27in terms of the dynamics in terms of likeboth teams playing these sort of insane lategames, but Oregon Statecapable of, capable, uncorking55 passes and stayingright in the game until the very end.they blow it but until then by the way i'm making fun of organ state for that they're not the oneswho are three and four in conference that would be washington who washington after soaring to the
54:53heights of the rankings okay and after becoming oh four no on the way beat boise state 386 yeahthey lost three in a row and then one against cal and colorado face the first goodteam they had in UCLA and immediatelylost 41-31. It's beenit wasn't even that close.No, no, no, no. I mean, I thinkyou can call this year sortof a, I don't want to go
55:21disaster, but it's a reallydeflating yearfor Washington.But there's always next year.They're sort of like the Cubsof the Pact 12.That's a baseball thing.Do the Cubs win eight games every year?
55:38They play a hunt.What, 100 games in baseball?They win eight of them?What bowl games?Exactly eight and no more than eight?They're the cornhuskers of the Pac-12.How's that?As up the last five years?
55:57Yeah, no, no, no.Got to lose at least.We'll just say Pallini?You got to lose at least four, right?Yeah, that's not, you know, an untoward or bad comparison.Same peak period, too, right?peaked in the 90s.Little blip there around 2000.
56:14Yeah.All downhill?No.I think you've successfully made a cross-divisional football analogy, Adam Jacoby.Well done.Crowds going wild.Huskers, huskies.Wake up, y'all.
56:27Been right in front of us the whole time.Come on, sheeple.All right, we're ending right there.Luminati.
