Starting point is 00:00:00 Five hours before Florida State and Boston College kicked off. I just sent on a tweet that I didn't really think too much about the time. I was just thinking about how Florida State, the concept of Florida State having a get-right game with Boston College was funny. Oh, I thought you were going to expound upon the concept of Florida State, but yes. It's funier now than it was at the time. Yeah. But I was like, that's a fun thing to say.
Starting point is 00:00:26 Florida State's get-right game with Boston College. And then as the game went on, more and more people seemed to find this tweet. And we're like, okay, now this is fun. I was like, no, there, I must concede there is something funnier than Florida States get right game with Boston College, which is Florida States, it's not called a get wrong. Stay wrong. Stay wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Yeah. Florida State shows, Florida State shows consistency from week zero to week one. Florida States wrong DeSantis. Oh, God. We're suing the ACC to get it. Oh, wait, no, no, I got it. I got it, I got it cruise control. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:04 Maybe. That's good. Knowles 2. What about Knowles 2 colon? Cruise control. We'll workshop it. We're in the lab all the time. That's right.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Yeah, that's, there aren't a bad idea. At least they were at home, at least here and in Ireland, they could smoke on the bus. So, can I tell y'all something? I don't actually dislike Florida State at all. I just like making jokes about smoking in places. Okay. Seriously, man. I don't have any natural dislike for that whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I just like making jokes about cigarettes. Bandbace full of real ones who never turn their back on Joe Campbell, baby. In a world of unsteady inflation, only camel cash will hold its value. Yeah. Unconquered, polloped. Ho! Welcome to the shutdown fullcast. You are listening to the internet's only college football podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I am Spencer Hall joined now by Ryan Nanny, Holly Anderson, and on the ones and twos, Michael Cerber. If only we had something to talk about on this, the world's only college football podcast, because, well, I don't know, we do a little thing call after dark, we review everything that happens. But this, this is Labor Day weekend. And things just keep happening.
Starting point is 00:02:58 things happened actually after the official end of fullcast after dark a game on Sunday and a game on Monday in typical forecast fashion. I like to address those in reverse order because the one that just happened infinitely funnier. What a delight. But Spencer, what about the very first one? We're going to get to that. That's fine. Oh, you're confusing him now. No, we need to get to what happened last night, as in Monday night, as in, Holly, you sent out a little tweet. It's just a little tweet, maybe just a little throwoff sometimes inventing the future. One tweet at a time.
Starting point is 00:03:34 What did that tweet say about this game? The thing I just said in the cold open? Yeah, I mean, he doesn't know that that's in the cold open. He can't see the, like, Holly and I can see the matrix of the shutdown. Let's review. Let's review. You said, I said, what are we reviewing? What are you doing here?
Starting point is 00:03:53 Oh, my God. I don't know he's recording. What are that new to you? Why do you make my job hard? It says it's a get-right game. It's in red. It's in red. Nothing else on the screen is red.
Starting point is 00:04:06 You know, listener, you're probably thinking they could stop and just start from the top again, but we will never do that. No, we won't. We won't. We will never go. Straight off the dough. You know what he's all of y'all little. I wish I could write like you. Yeah, you need to know what he's like.
Starting point is 00:04:20 That's right. You need to know the cost of that. Yeah. Which is everything else. podcasts are burning electricity and cloud computing space, redoing intros and bits and making sure things sound right. And like, Cerber, let me be clear, this is not an attack against our producer Michael Serber, who is doing his level best. Consider the poor ingredients we present him with every week in this cursed audio chopped. Nor is it an attack on Ryan who did a yeoman's
Starting point is 00:04:52 job with even less somehow during our formative years. Anyway, every comic book is somebody's first. So for those of you who weren't here four minutes ago. Yes. Thank you, Holly. To all goldfish listening to this book. The great part is I actually gave him a different Florida State joke to lead off with. I was taking him back to week zero.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Let's get him. To be fair, I wasn't here four minutes ago. That's true. I'm bringing Jason up to speed, see? Let's give Spencer some grace. Spencer, we're going to leave all of this in because we do need people to understand. how this works. But if you want to start post-welcome,
Starting point is 00:05:29 you don't get a second welcome here. If you want to start post there and go again, we can do that. But again, this all stays, everything stays in the show. Nothing gets cut. Holy shit, let's laugh at Florida State. There we go. Let's just get straight. Let's get straight to that shit. I said it nicer than that.
Starting point is 00:05:44 You did. You did. But it turns out that, it turns out Jan Portal is a double-edged sword. Sometimes it giveth. And sometimes you end up losing your first two games of the season on two different continents. The exact same way. Wait, Spencer, how do you blame Florida State's current plight on the portal?
Starting point is 00:06:01 You see, they brought in a lot of talent last year via the portal, and it worked beautifully, right? Jared Verse came in, really firmed up that defense, a lot of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. They looked great. And then this year, they had to replace a whole lot of that departed, and it hasn't worked out. And we're going to talk about DJA on Goli. And we need to talk about them fairly. You go, hey, I was told by multiple experts that this defensive line was going to be among the best in the United States. I have seen them get put on skates.
Starting point is 00:06:35 Two weeks in a row against two different opponents who both did the exact same thing to them. They were going that way. By that way, I mean forward. Up the middle. They didn't do anything complex. Just blew them off the ball. Additionally, D.J. Ongolele has looked like Clemson D.J.O. and Galele. And I don't mean that one game he had at Notre Dame where he went off for like three.
Starting point is 00:06:55 thousand yards and looked awesome and then never did that again. No, I mean the rest of the games. It's been bad. He has also looked like Clemson DJ in the sense that like his receivers are doing him very few favors. Nothing. Like, yeah. Like, Felder put out a tweet something to the effect of like, yes, we should talk about DJ you, but like consider everything else that's happening. He has also looked like Clemson DJ and that he's only playing Hill song. The other thing that really makes this special is that there was the vision. I don't know if it was on the part of ESPN when they set the schedule for these games. I don't know if it was on the part of Florida State.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Maybe it was just somebody dreaming a dream somewhere. There was an idea of like, okay, Florida State, after just the absolute screw job of last season's playoff, would get to open the season in front of everybody in Dublin beating a Georgia tech team that they were sure they were going to be
Starting point is 00:08:00 and let's back up and get our bona fides here we all thought what happened to Florida State we all here on this show thought that what happened to Florida State last season was fucked up
Starting point is 00:08:08 yes yes and boy the two Florida State fans the two Florida grads and all we all unanimously thought hey that's fucked up yes so so the vision started with
Starting point is 00:08:18 we'll go to Dublin will be the only the only game on and people, like, that will be the coming out party. And everybody is going to see. And then to round out week one, because that's how college football considers
Starting point is 00:08:32 this, which is why Florida State is ranked 10th for both of these games that they lost to unranked opponents because we don't redo the poll between week zero and week one, Florida State will end, we will be the, we will be both the
Starting point is 00:08:48 appetizer and the dessert. You'll will be delighted once again to see your beloved Florida State Seminoles, unjustly punished by the ESPN Industrial Complex, returning once again, this time home in Tallahassee to defeat Bill O'Brien and the evil Boston College Equal. And it will just be this like, I owe an apology. It will just be this huge like, this like mini jamboree. And yes, there are other games happening and we'll get to talk about those. But like, we're going to start. Yes, we're going to start and end with Florida State doing Florida State things. And the problem is when that goes completely on its ass. The plan very clearly was for Florida State to have two spotlights and end week
Starting point is 00:09:30 one at two and O, which is that doesn't sound possible. How could that be? Well, instead they're 0 and 2. Here's a fun fact. During this game when it was very clear, it was going wrong for the Knowles, I looked up previous examples of a team being 0 and 2 and in the top 10 for a few hours because the wind pole show up. 1967, Texas was number eight at O'N-2 for a few hours. 2022, Notre Dame, that was the year they played Ohio State decently, and then they lost a fucking Marshall.
Starting point is 00:09:59 They were also number eight at O'N-2. Okay. My research assistant, Vatican Cameo, 69, added 1986 Ohio State, because I left them off my list. And for all of last night on through this morning, 2024 FSU. God. God bless.
Starting point is 00:10:17 this like yeah and now you lost in ireland you lost the boston college you have to play notre dame still catholicism is coming hard for tallahassee from another perspective they've lost to engineers and jesuits they are not beating the can't hang with their allegations man they lost to an entire south american mining expedition is what you're telling me yeah like like just they are not getting anywhere as far as astronomy that's that's that much is for sure And, like, the Georgia Tech game, I think even in the wake of it, there was some element of neutrals were willing to forgive it or willing to say, like, it's an overseas game and, you know, week one is always, you always get best between, you always improve the most between your game morning. Between week zero and week one. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:11:09 You always prove the most in the middle of week one. Aren't you glad you didn't play Boston College first? shit it was no that's not true at all Florida State is throwing truisms out the window Florida here's what it is Florida State has the innovating right they have the bravery to challenge lazy intellectual
Starting point is 00:11:26 assumptions maybe last year with their punishment being they had to sit at home during the playoff what we have now observed is that the farther away from home they are the happier they are and the better they are at football
Starting point is 00:11:42 because, you know, they almost won in Ireland. So I think, you know, if they followed Spencer's example and they played all their games in Mongolia, they might win them all. Yeah. They like horses, after all. Moon, Florida State. That would be a win-win for everyone.
Starting point is 00:11:58 At the moment, yeah. They want to leave the ACC, right? That would be very much leaving the ACC. What would they call it, the Sea of Solitude or whatever? Yeah. Yeah. The Sea of Tranquility. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:08 They are the most, they are the most ACC team, though. You can't argue that. I know they don't. want to be but when you lose on both sides of that ocean buddy can't be more coastal or atlantic than they've currently been um yeah two by the way you want to like how bad that ass got whooped right like how bad did that ass get looked 263 yards rushing if i multiply that by the coefficient that i think indicates translation by impact to passing yards that's like 940 passing yards right like if you allow because i sort of think like every rushing yard that
Starting point is 00:12:41 you allow is like four passing yards and either three or four it's like fantasy football scoring or something you mean like emotionally yeah emotionally right you allow three yards on a pass and you're like ah that's a bullshit that's a win yeah you're like ah some bullshit passing i can handle that right you allow three yards on a run and you're like oh they're going to do that again oh second to seven fuck and also it's just a difference if i know i can take it's a difference if i know i can walk up to the ATM and take out a hundred every time right the bank's going to be like ow that hurts please stop and you're like up this one's broken just gonna keep taking hundreds that's boston college putting the card in picking it out this and the tic-tok trend of like hey here's how you can do a check frog
Starting point is 00:13:18 oh my god there are some florida state fans that had a very bad weekend open the schools the three yard so the three-yard pass is like wow look at all that bullshit you had to do to get those three yards the run is like you just ran into me ow and you're on pace for a first down yeah so like you look at it you go you know they're run all offense you know 263 yards that's not that's that's that That's bad, but that's not, no, that's the end of the world, dude. If you like, you know, go ask Georgia Southern who allowed 371 yards total rushing. That's like 1,500 yards passing in a single game. It hurts a lot more and it matters because guess what I can do off that?
Starting point is 00:13:57 I can throw. Wee! Yay. Meanwhile, Kentucky allowed five yards rushing. Greatest defense in human history. Yeah. The blue wall, baby. That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:09 That's right. Love it. The Blue Hall. So congratulations to Boston College and to Bill O'Brien, who we owe at least minor apologies to for assuming that. He's always in there for like six months, too. I'm talking about something specific. About talking about something specific. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:24 Which is when I said, and I said it was unlikely, and for no reason whatsoever, I really didn't have anything to base this on. I just said I thought it would be funny if Bill O'Brien during our cold seat episode, I said it would be funny if Bill O'Brien. got canned after one year at Boston College under the kind of unspoken joke that like, man, are Jesuit's going to be sick of this guy after a year? That'd be funny. Sorry! Well, to be fair. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Holly, I think you were right, because now it would be even funnier if he got fired. Thank you, Jason. Yeah, I know. Yep. You know what? You're absolutely right. Also, I want to brag about something. All right. There were a couple, something I was right about, all right? And I had no, no absolutely no evidence or whatever completely fucking vibes
Starting point is 00:15:09 all right faith and faith alone it was not I who knew ball it was God who knew ball through me when I predicted multiple times this summer that Mike Norvell would be on the hot seat a year after going 13 and O
Starting point is 00:15:25 in the ACC you did Alex Kirstner no reason for this whatsoever but still got it Alex fired the wrong Memphis coach Hey guess who Florida State's playing next Memphis
Starting point is 00:15:39 Guess where? In tally Oh shit really Yeah it's in tally I suck I was like I can keep the smoking joke Going for another week But no okay
Starting point is 00:15:50 I don't know I just watch Boston College Pull in there and beat them like they were the Steelers So Wait What Steelers? Thomas Great question Thomas Costellanos
Starting point is 00:16:01 I have in disrespect for you for you know in college i want you to fulfill the bet if you're a miami player i want you to be as much of a miami player as possible you see miami beating florida and they're like gator shopping and dancing and you go that's exactly what you should be doing thank you for fulfilling the role what is a bccian were you the one who called him a human joker meme i don't think so okay never mind the i think it's cool that football has their own castellanas it does i love the he doesn't appear to be a harbinger no but he did the most boston college thing you could do when asked about how he was going to celebrate.
Starting point is 00:16:33 He's like, well, I have class tomorrow because I go to Boston College. Sorry, unlike. There's a line drive back to the library for that one. Yeah, I guess that's why we just took Florida State to school. No. Yeah. That's what Thomas Castellano is.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Tough up, back, back, back, back. Toughen up. Yeah. Love it. All right. Is there anything else mean you want to say about Florida State? I don't think I can say anything meaner than that box score of what we watched last night.
Starting point is 00:17:00 That's it. It's bad. It's real bad. I think they need to fire this coach. I mean, I mean, is there, is the answer very boring? And it's that they can't run the ball and they can't stop the run? And they can't throw. Like, yeah, man, y'all, listen, women get a bad rap for being like, I can fix him.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Have you all seen men about DJ? Men are very emotional about DJ. I don't even think, like, that, I think DJ is a conveyor. convenient problem. I'm not even calling him a scapegoat, but like, this dude has not, uh, he has not been set up in a position to succeed, uh, at several institutions now. And I am wondering what the deal is. I think a better quarterback could paper over some of the other problems more effectively, probably could have won them the Georgia Tech game. I, you know, truthfully, they held the, like, Spencer, if you have the box score open, what was
Starting point is 00:18:01 time of possession in this game. It wasn't that bad in the second half because there was a lot of garbage possessions by Florida State. Okay. But in the first half, it was like two-thirds Boston College. Oh, no, no. I mean, it ended up. It's still pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Actually, I'm sorry, they corrected it. I remember when I checked it last night, it was like 34, but they were having trouble keeping time on the field. It is that bad because the current corrected box score shows them as having the ball 39 minutes to 20, 51. That's too much. That's too much. That's too much for any defense.
Starting point is 00:18:31 I don't you don't you're eventually those those dudes are going to get tired but like in addition to that if you want to know what happened is that here's everybody they pulled one two out of your starting starting defense you know starting off I'm sorry starting offense you've got five new players coming in off of the transfer right like that's that's what I'm looking at here and then you have important players along the defensive line and at weak side linebacker who just are not. not exactly panning out. And I don't want to, this is, I think, I want to cut this off because I see it coming, okay? I see it coming from the law and order corner of college football, right? From the casual fascist street, right? Who's like, the problem with this is late. The casual fascist corner of college football who's like, bleed on your own time. That's our helmet son.
Starting point is 00:19:24 This is, this is what they will say. They will say, well, I mean, you know, live by the portal, die by the portal. Yeah, but you get to live. by the portal too, okay? I've seen teams, other teams, large programs, fuck up conventionally, lose and suck in an entirely normal and predicted manner, doing things the old way.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Look at Clemson, you can be mediocre, right? And thrive in a mediocre fashion like they're going to this year by doing everything's the right way. You guys are going to invade against people moving around and people being able to build rosters player movement and the freedom of movement without really considering that people
Starting point is 00:20:05 have sucked the old way all the time. So like, yeah, they might have fucked up the transfer of portal this time. You think Clemson doesn't realize people have sucked the old way all the time? Yeah. Hey, we're going to introduce a new form of it. We're going to eight and four our ass to Charlotte and right into the college football playoff. You know what?
Starting point is 00:20:21 That is now Clemsoning. I think Clemson's got... I can't declare that. It's not mine. I see Clemson doing that much more likely than I do Florida State at this point. Well, yeah. Yeah. I'll say that, yeah, sure. Florida State's fucked. Florida State is 0 and 2 in conference, and it's September 3rd.
Starting point is 00:20:38 What the hell? My other favorite stat so far this season is Bubba Prog noted that there have been two conference games in FBS, both of them lost by Florida State. You can go all of Division 1, and you would add just one by Prairie View. So, like, FSU is, according to the standings, last in Division 1. Bank them early. Listen, that's just advanced technique. there. This is knocking my other favorite stat out of the top spot, which is that, as we mentioned
Starting point is 00:21:06 on Saturday show, the 2024 season's first P4 victory belongs to Vanderbilt in the SEC. Yeah. The real shame, one of the real shames, there are so many shames. We don't have to limit it to one. Oh, lots of shames. One of the shames of this is that if Florida State had won, they would have been able to, like, there was plenty local to coast off of. LSU lost to USC in a game that was overall pretty good, but Brian Kelly made sure to, like, show as much ass as possible afterwards so that that would be a talking point. Florida got fucking hammered, and now Billy Napier has decided it's time to go to war on both social media commenters and Florida geology.
Starting point is 00:21:58 is it disqualifying for Billy Napier not to know that Floridians don't have basements He's more of a living room recruiter He ain't been down there on the Xbox He's not going to dig a cellar beneath your house And swim through it in order to recruit you He's not going to chisel through the limestone that lies beneath The entire fucking state
Starting point is 00:22:21 Look I'm sorry I'll put up with a lot of bullshit but not, not ignorance of, of Florida's water table. I can't think of a hotter, I can't think of a hotter place to be. Damn. Sorry. But yeah, you could, like Florida State could have, if you had taken care of business against Boston College, you could, like, can you do anything about how Miami feels right now? No.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Not, not at all. Do you want to? Also, no. But you could have, you could have pointed a laughed at Florida. You could have pointed at a left at LSU. And you just blew it. You just blew it. Now, we can point it in left.
Starting point is 00:22:56 at LSU, and I think we should. A little bit, but I will say this. Great, like, I'm pulling out that stamp. Great A satisfying American football game. Yeah, right? Sure. Like, the kind where you go, well, somebody's got to lose, right? But, like, one possession game against somebody who I think improved a lot this offseason,
Starting point is 00:23:14 that's the amazing thing is to watch a team. Like, there's two amazing things, okay? One is more amazing. It's more amazing to watch a team say they've been working all offseason, come out, and then immediately poop down their leg. like that's that's amazing when you go what were you doing what were any of you doing yes but the other thing that's slightly less amazing is sometimes teams especially teams that you did not anticipate getting better in this way can actually improve for a pessimist
Starting point is 00:23:40 this is always amazing uh USC has a defense a competent defense I don't want to say oh man they're actually they're going to be beaten ass no it's not a capital D defense but it is verified, observable, present, right? They can say that they voted here at least, which is more than USC has had under Lincoln Riley. And they were timely. They did what like, they did what teams that are kind of offensive-minded should do defensively, which is I got five plays. Let's use them all. I got five big plays I can make. Let's use them all at the right time. They're still, they're still so far down in the rankings. They're still so far down. By the way, they face a very talented up offense.
Starting point is 00:24:23 They did. It's kind of confounding, but there's a confounder there because, man, Garrett Nussmeyer is the truth. He's real. Like, he is an extremely good quarterback. And I think LSU's going to be a really good offense. I think the thing with USC's defense is it goes beyond just like overturning pessimism and more to like completely breaking the pattern if they're actually a decent,
Starting point is 00:24:45 like if, if they're what appeared to be competence continues through the entire. season because like this isn't just we're being haters like this is like no look at the last decade of lincoln riley there is no reason to think that that hiring a new guy is going to change everything um and like going from looking like you do do not know how to play football to looking like you do that is a break from pattern if it holds it was also like there were burn timeouts there were there was the like the badly missed short field goal there were all these little sprinkets that were getting sprinkled that sort of felt like,
Starting point is 00:25:21 oh, these are the things that Southern Cal fans are going to be super mad about. Yeah. When they lose this game. Like, they'll just, they'll just manage to, like, run out of time or miss another,
Starting point is 00:25:32 whatever. They'll fuck something up. And then they just didn't? They just did the thing? They just did the thing, which, by the way, they did that thing, in part because of their defense.
Starting point is 00:25:44 So automatically, automatically a new story. Additionally, there was, My favorite thing in this game, like I feel like we got to watch a lot of big ugly shit at A&M, Notre Dame, right? Like that was peak like, ah, run the ball, 1310, get the clubs, right? Right. This was a fun game because every time that there was a skill player going up against a DB was nuts.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Like they were fighting like crazy on every possession and making some of the wildest catches you will see all year in game one. Like you talk about setting up Florida State for like a cool narrative. if if you see an LSU like you want the LSU like the playoff matchup I want I want to watch that again that was a delight because it was my favorite thing of offensive defense line they're doing pretty well meanwhile these dudes are out here having like kung fu fights on the boundary against each other right and making circus catches that was but it made Brian Kelly so mad he was it made him so fucking mad that was that was one of the maddest he's ever been he said it's the first time he's been mad at this LSU team. Hmm. Does that mean the 2024 LSU team? Maybe the game one. And when did, maybe since, you know, that their season did just start.
Starting point is 00:26:59 So it's, this would be the first time in four hours that he was mad. What's in Congress about it is I agree with you, Spencer, that like, very entertaining game, good back and forth. I think both teams sort of showed that like they have put themselves in position to, like, for LSU it's not exactly bounced back but in some ways like take another step forward from last year it's a weird thing to say after you had a Heisman tournament tournament
Starting point is 00:27:22 and winning quarterback um but like this is the game you're going to get memed for Brian Kelly this is where you're pounding on the desk and going Tony Stark built this in a cave it's a great tweet also I went back and looked the Brian Kelly EDSPS Magazine cover where he was a virulent shade of magenta
Starting point is 00:27:45 and the headline was, I think there's something wrong with my dick. That was 2011. What are this man's veins made of? Can we harvest them? Oh, I don't know if you want to. No, seriously, that man has, that man has the heart of secretariat. Yeah. Or something.
Starting point is 00:28:06 Like he's got like a 20 chambered heart and like one by one they're exploding, but he's still got like 12 left. Like bubble wrap. Yeah, it's like, yeah, they're down to the, he's like the war rig right we've lost engine two get under there and fix it yeah what if he's just been cycling through donated hearts what if he's blown four of them
Starting point is 00:28:25 I think assuming Brian Kelly has a heart is the revolutionary I mean look LSU already has a documented history at least LSU boosters do of hospital related fraud who's to say there's not some sort of organ donor scheme going on Baton Rouge the worst part is we can say we've never made a joke
Starting point is 00:28:43 and never told a joke and the best part is that we can say we've never told Bobby Jindle's like I can't believe I missed out on this I don't know the thing like to keep it to nuts and bolts the thing that LSU
Starting point is 00:28:54 that would have won LSU this game last year is currently playing in the NFL because Jaden Daniels did a lot of Band-Aid work by scrambling and now they're going to have to line up in a more conventional run game they've got a lot of talent there
Starting point is 00:29:09 they did have like a drive and a half where they really sort of emphasize the run but they put a lot on Nussmeyer real quick if you look at that like pass run ratio not to go back to everyone's favorite crutch but running the damn ball a little bit more, a little earlier. If it's good enough for Boston College
Starting point is 00:29:25 it's good enough for you, LSU. Be more like Bill O'Brien is what we're saying. Why can't you more? Yeah. What's more Catholic than saying why can't you be more like your cousins? Let's get that message board movement going. Don't Brian Kelly, bring Bill O'Brien down to Bat Rouge.
Starting point is 00:29:41 He's got NFL experience. He's got Catholic school experience. that'll go over well in certain parishes. Tom Brady. Tom Brady experience. Come on. What does that mean in terms of college? Jack nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Absolutely nothing. But, you know, he's been stamped. Yeah. I had no complaints with this game whatsoever. Nothing that you haven't said about Brian Kelly before can be said now that is like any different. You're just like, yeah, they blow little things like that. Did we ever find out if the guy who said he would eat poop if Boston College beat Florida State ate the poop?
Starting point is 00:30:13 All I saw is that he deleted his. account. I think, uh, it was, it was funny that that happened until like bar stool got on the case and made it weird. You got to eat poop. Made it creepy. No, you don't have, we prefer you not. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Like, so at this point, at this point, because barstool's on it, I'm like, don't eat the poop. Fuck them. Say you'll do something and then, and then don't lie to barstool. It's a great move. I think that's great. I love it. I love that you did that.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Eat cake instead. Wow. Yeah. Get one of those obvious dirt cakes with the gummy worms in it and be like, mm. Yeah. Instead, he's now somewhere. There's got to be realistic gummy poop, right? Oh, I'm certain that's a thing.
Starting point is 00:30:57 No, I'm saying don't even try to make it look real. Oh, okay. Oh, just like a, it's pink strawberry cake. Just gummy worms with Mario crumble. Instead, he's a bowl of frosted flicks. Yeah. Yeah. Instead, he's somewhere in Lisbon, Portugal right now with a new passport and a new name.
Starting point is 00:31:14 That's fine. And they're like, Signor, what brought you so far from home? Let me tell you the tragic story of a time. I made a bet. Couldn't back it up. Should we do some podcast business? Podcast business. What's the business?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Podcast business. It's a business with the business and some new business. Here comes new business. That might be the most you said business in one of these segments. Business. It's the Chesto Remix. Really gay with the business. Where do you want to start?
Starting point is 00:31:56 Homefield apparel. So we've done that as a joke for a few years, but guess what folks? Oh, folks. Oh, folks, we are so fucking back. Homefield is like a real company now, and that's fucking wild to us in the best possible way. Like, I wish that we could do, I truly wish that we could do every business relationship this way. Watching our show grow. Yeah, we're growing.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's weird. I know. Alongside watching Homefield grow for real from Connor and his wife boxing up t-shirts at their table to a company that has, honest to God, warehouses and employees, former colleagues of ours, gone to work for Homefield. Like, their, their rise has been meteoric. They're staffed by the best people. we love them so much they make thoughtful comfortable high quality apparel
Starting point is 00:32:45 with killer vintage designs mostly for the upper body and I would just like to take this time at the top of podcast business to announce that our partnership has been formally renewed for the 2024 season we are so happy to be back with them
Starting point is 00:32:59 the Can't Miss kickoff campaign is underway right now they're doing shit like sending you boxes that have socks and hats and and t-shirts and all kinds I said mostly for the upper body socks can go anywhere. Tell them about the Citronaut bomber.
Starting point is 00:33:16 You all, listen, they're doing bomber jackets again. They launched 15 new ones. The Citronauts one is fucking sick. Like, I have never in my life. I have a hard time even mentally conceptualizing the level of UCF FOMO. The I'm experiencing right now. You don't even have to like UCF. You could say like, hey, what if we started?
Starting point is 00:33:40 a like petty crime gang and called ourselves the citronauts and we all got matching jackets that fine. Fine. I'm telling you as a lawyer that that's fine. And the most important thing is that if that were my first home field purchase with offer code full cast, F-U-L-L-C-A-S-T, I get 20% off that sick-ass bomber jacket. Oh my God, the gang just saved 20% off? That's got a homefield apparel.com. It takes a lot to knock a bomber jacket out of the top spot for me because I'm a personal owner of the baby blue Lady Volz championship bomber jacket that has all of Pat Summitt's titles on the back embroidered. It's killer.
Starting point is 00:34:19 And I got to tell you, it was that little, it was that weird dude with the two girlfriends' head turn and meme when I saw this citronaut jacket. I'm going to have to do a lot to make it up to my Lady Val's jacket. But even the thundering herd jacket is sick. And I want Marshall to go to hell. Like, it's, it's beautiful. The Montana jacket is beautiful. the Oregon jacket. Everything Oregon does is beautiful, but the Oregon jacket is beautiful. The SMU one is so crisp and perfect for doing actual cocaine off of. I don't recommend this, but Ryan's my lawyer. Don't you miss these reeds, Homefield? Aren't you glad that you're back for this? Back in the building. That's right. Anyway, I'll get out of the way of the rest of podcast business, but for real and for true, we are so glad to be back with our first, our one and only, the soft.
Starting point is 00:35:10 as snugly as purveyors of vintage collegiate apparel. Offer code fullcast, 20% off your first purchase. If it's not your first purchase, go spend all your money there anyway. You don't have anything better to do with it. All right, somebody get me out of here. It's not real.
Starting point is 00:35:23 The money is not real. No, money isn't real, just like jail. Cocaine. But you should spend it at home deal. That's officer. Damn. Yeah. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:35:32 That cocaine, you're imagining it. I guess the record's way better lawyer than I am. The Rutgers jacket would also be okay for cocaine, I guess. Yeah, sure. hypothetically. Okay. Homefield apparel. Spencer, tell us about our other sponsor this week.

Starting point is 00:38:46 Why is it called that? It's easy because I'm going to give you three groups of things, three pairs of things, and you have to tell me which one has more. I love things. So it's really just, we call it more or less, but it's really just more. Yeah. Because Spencer was wrong. This is a special Florida State Boston College Edition of,
Starting point is 00:39:04 more or less and I'm going to start let's see who are players who wants to play today let's Holly hasn't played it okay Holly do you want to play I have not played yet okay Holly and Spencer more or less the announced attendance at Florida State Boston College and I will preface this by saying Florida State Stadium is being renovated it's like semi-Vanderbilt yeah so is Vanderbilt yeah so is Northwest in this season of Northwestern football by the lake nobody has a renovation. Wait, so FSU is kind of like Vanderbilt and Northwestern. That means they're good at football, right?
Starting point is 00:39:39 And it means they're either going to the SEC or the Big Ten. Actually, well, think of it this way. The fact that they're not good at football, that's how you tell them apart. Oh, they're the bad Northwestern. Got it. More or less, announced attendance at Florida State, Boston College football, or total hockey attendance for Boston College men's hockey in 2023, 20 in the 2023
Starting point is 00:40:04 2024 season Oh Boston College Boston College and I'll tell you why Okay I'll tell you I have a reasoning for this Okay Do you want it or do you want Spencer's guess? No yeah give me your reasoning
Starting point is 00:40:16 I don't even know Spencer's paying attention anymore I just happened to be watching the game During the university ad The airs for each participating school At some point during the game And Boston College I noted like the The shot that they used of
Starting point is 00:40:29 You know it always showcased the entire university though every every commercial is the same if you've never seen one of these it's like you know a shot of someone playing the cello and there's a shot of somebody you know there's always some fucking pipettes but the shot they chose to use for boston college is a football team taking the field had visibly deserted stands surrounding it and I was like all that's sad and then a couple shots later it was the women's lacrosse team again in a mostly empty stadium and like all that's sad and then they cut to the fucking hockey team and it was to the rafters and I don't believe this was for comedic effect um also Tennessee's baseball team
Starting point is 00:41:07 was in Tennessee's commercial and I thought that was very funny like hey look who brought him a fucking trophy um but anyway that that I've been thinking about Boston college hockey ever since I saw that ad okay so Holly says Boston college hockey attendance was more Spencer I'm also going to say less particularly close okay I'm gonna I'm gonna listen I'm gonna play my part less less go knolls Holly wins this by a mile Oh, and what is it compared? Attendance at the Florida State football game, about 52,000. Total attendance across all Boston College men's hockey games in 2023, 24, 124, 117.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Seriously, go look up this ad, you'll see what I mean. Like basically no football stadium in America had a chance. Aggressive. All right, that's the only easy one I'm giving you. Who has more career wins as a head coach, including both FBS and, and NFL level. Bill O'Brien or Mike Norvell. More. Mike Norval clearly has never,
Starting point is 00:42:07 Mike Norval has never been an NFL head coach. Okay, wait. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Mike Norveh were only counting his college wins. I didn't, I couldn't think of his college time. Bill O'Brien were counting his college time and his NFL time as a head coach.
Starting point is 00:42:21 More. The only Bill O'Brien era I really remember paying attention to was the, the only Bill O'Brien era, I've really really like clock end to end was the Penn State era, but I remember distinctly rumblings of what kind of tenure he was having in the NFL. I'm going to go Norville, and I don't feel great about that. Okay, Spencer. I'm going to go that Mike Norville has fewer, less, than Villabregg. Okay. Holly's won again. Oh, Morvel. Is it even close? It is close. Mike Norvel has 69 wins as a college football head coach. Oh, God, no wonder
Starting point is 00:43:00 he keeps losing. I found the problem. And Bill O'Brien has 68 wins as a head coach in college football and the NFL combined. Are you serious? It's one off. It's one off, yes. Oh, well. For now. For now. Hey, Mike Norville better be glad they're not playing again this season.
Starting point is 00:43:18 They go to change his bio and Mike and he's like, no, no leave it. It's perfect. Okay. More third down conversions. Total, not percentage. Just the number of times these teams have converted on third down this season. Florida State who's played two games or Boston College
Starting point is 00:43:35 who's played one game. Which team has more third down conversion? More! Jason's so good at this. No, he's right. It's the thing he's right. Oh. See, the great thing about this question, Ryan, and this is why you're so good at these, is that either one of these could be a trap in both directions, and I love that for you. Sure. Oh. Spencer, you go first.
Starting point is 00:43:59 Yeah, let's let Spencer answer this. I don't know. I'm going to say that Boston College had more. But to keep my character clean, Florida State had fewer or less. They had less. Okay, okay, good. Less.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Good, good. Holly. I'm going to say that the opposite, more slash less. Okay. Spencer, you've finally gotten on the board. Congratulations. Oh. Florida State in two games has converted eight third-down conversions.
Starting point is 00:44:35 On how many attempts? Too many. Far too many. Okay. Boston College in one game against Florida State had nine third-down conversions. Soinks. And that has been more or less presented to you by Price Fix and Florida State Football. More.
Starting point is 00:44:54 More. Not more Florida State football, please. Less. Oh, no. Disagree. Let's very much, very much disagree. I'm telling you, this is the team. I take this Florida State off my plate, Jason, if you want more.
Starting point is 00:45:06 After years of watching Nebraska and Iowa, I am fixated on Florida State. Good. I like that Florida State has become your, like, weird snack that you're like, oh, everyone in my house hates this, but I love this. They know not to touch this. Should we look at the schedule a little bit? Oh, please. I crave a schedule. But the schedule time is talking about the schedule time.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Does Florida State play twice in this week, too? No, unfortunately, you'll get less. You'll get it, dad, did it, did it, do it, do it. Oh, real quick, one other business thing ahead of our October 3rd live show in Birmingham, Alabama. Oh, yeah. It has been brought to my attention that the night before, there's pro wrestling in the same venue. Oh, shit. There's a wrestling show from autumn to ashes is the headlining band at that event.
Starting point is 00:45:57 Are we making that an official meet? who's spencer who's spencer facing uh well he'll he can run in like a uh it doesn't matter brother when you got the belt uh you take all comers so yeah if if you want to make a whole whole thing of it there's also lots of other stuff going on further scenes forever is headlining a show that you take still available that night so even if you're not going to the fest that weekend there's still multiple things that you can do in addition to of course coming to our to our show where i in In addition to last week's announcement, that we'll attempt to do some sort of a walking, very safe circle pit, it has also been revealed to me that we will do some sing-alongs, okay?
Starting point is 00:46:36 Oh. We're going to sing the welcome as a group, as a family, gang vocals, until we get it right. We're going to do it over and over until it's loud enough. Okay. And we're going to sing country roads, okay? We're going to do those two things. Okay. So. I'm going to cry.
Starting point is 00:46:50 You go to pre-owned airboats.com to find the ticket link for that. I probably should update it because I think it's else is where to buy tickets per the Raleigh event that are Hey, keep giving your money to our friends in Raleigh, that's fine. Okay. To make a Raleigh donation, go to pre-owned Air Force. Just to Raleigh in general. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:07 Spencer, no, you will get no Florida State this week. You've had too much Florida State. Oh, no. And much Florida State's had too much Florida State. Your Stummy hurts. Stummy back. We talked about Stummy Hertz game. They're having the whole Stummy Hurt season.
Starting point is 00:47:22 My stumby fell out, mom. Do you suffer from loose stools? or Florida State Oh boy Friday night has three games We can talk about them They are all brothers
Starting point is 00:47:40 They're not bad It sounded like you were doing a riddle I think you know what Again let's crank out the official stamps Grated by Jason Kirk Okay Not bad and he's correct We got BYU SMU
Starting point is 00:47:51 That's something That's something That's something Some USUs look like shit So far this year So, you know, vulnerable, wobbly. And also, Duke's going to Northwesterns. We get another look at that beautiful stadium
Starting point is 00:48:02 that must stand forever, the Ozzymandias of Chicago land. And it's going to be, that's an 8 p.m. local kickoff, so we might see some sunset action. Talk about some night lake. Oh, those Chicago-Evonsten nights on the beach. On that volleyball field, they call a football stadium. It's so fucking perfect. Yeah, kiss me, Dave.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Are we all in agreement? We're not friends. We're lovers. Oh, God. Oh, God. And then once you've slept off the sexy, sexy evening of Duke, North Western. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:43 Help. It's time for big nude Saturday. Help. It's not working. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's, if you're wondering, by the way, if they're still saying it that way on television and the way that you
Starting point is 00:48:55 can't really tell what they're saying in the middle word? Yeah, they are. This is fucking huge and extremely nude. The Texas Longhorns going to face you're a defending champion, Michigan Wolverine. That's a nude fucking game right there, man. Not that defending. Quinn the Ridler yours!
Starting point is 00:49:13 I'm just going to give everybody names that Gus Johnson uses that nobody else uses. Is he done doing the car thing? No, no, we're just going to, it's random. It's so random. Yeah. It has to be random. So it'll be like, Quinn the riddler Uers.
Starting point is 00:49:28 Roeb Speer Uers. Yes. I call him the second person possessive because he's you ours. So Gus will be on his fourth, his fourth coffee and or Red Bull. Correct. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. The Thesaurus is going to be out and it's going to be flying.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Sharon Big Mustard Boar. Actually, that's not really a thesaurus. Where do you pull those words? Is it like poetry magnets? Yeah. that's a good yeah that's a good yeah that actually that would be a fun if I were an announcer I would like I would play a fun little game with my booth buddy where I would bring like poetry magnet and we would have to work that word into a sentence who can say
Starting point is 00:50:06 dirigible it's always Gus they probably is always Gus you know oh they'll know Joe Tess is calling pro wrestling now yeah yeah yeah his first one was well last yeah last night I saw some of the highlights it seemed it seemed like uh seem like it's gonna work I mean no surprise of course he was able to keep up emotionally with Rob Riggle during holy molly yeah like that's that's an exam the two the two most legitimate sports i've always said yes yeah he listen he's coming from boxing so it's a step up in terms of legitimacy but by the way i feel like i feel like gus johnson's nickname for arch manning would be like a manning right he'd be like arch peyton manning i call him peyton big coop completely completely in another direction and he'd go
Starting point is 00:50:51 Oh no, he flew the coop more like Ah, yeah He's the little chicken that could Is the sky falling? No, that's a pass Don't bother with any production For Texas, Michigan Just go in and watch it
Starting point is 00:51:04 And just see what happens This is a game like You don't need to like worry about What are the edges and who's good Fuck all that Just go watch the game Ryan, I thought you said Don't bother with any product protection
Starting point is 00:51:17 As in just raw dog this game Raw dog this game Put it right in. Get on a plane. Jody Nity snacks. Wherever he is now, Jim Harbaugh just perked the right up. Not a problem. I am baffled it how comfortable we got as a society
Starting point is 00:51:33 with just saying like raw dog to all kinds of things. I think for this group, I actually have to claim responsibility for this after the Alex quarter zip incident. I guess so. Like 2019. I'm pretty sure that's when we started using it for fucking everything. But now people are like, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:51:48 I'm going to raw dog the cereal, which means I didn't put any milk in. Yeah, I mean, when the raw dogging the flight thing, by which they meant not watching a movie hit, I was like, oh, this is bad. Yeah, we're, guys, we need to, we need to protect the safety. Yeah, it's supposed to be at least a little, it's supposed to be at least a little bit disgusting, right? So you're saying we need to stop raw dog and raw, dogging. Yeah. Also, I think raw, I think raw, I think raw dogging the flight is riding in like the baggage compartment. Or maybe I'm saying it's, no, that's dead dogging it. I guess the problem is also that, like, to me, it suggests that other people,
Starting point is 00:52:21 are getting on a flight with a condom on their dick I'm like don't do that either discovered that's what headphones are a condom
Starting point is 00:52:27 for your head is the problem perhaps that we're not being raw enough I've never thought that about
Starting point is 00:52:34 this show Holly gotta tell you I've never thought too polished I've upset myself getting on nude
Starting point is 00:52:41 that's what I'm doing on tier saw at Oklahoma State speaking of nude also in this time in the
Starting point is 00:52:48 speaking of doing what the government tells you not to do that's right that's right Oklahoma State congratulations for beating South Dakota State I was wrong about that one my goodness
Starting point is 00:52:59 my goodness so begins the Arkansas tour of boy I hope this works isn't that all their tours yeah well shit here goes nothing like a lot has a lot has been made about Florida
Starting point is 00:53:18 schedule this year but they Arkansas has got to go to number 16 Oklahoma State. They've got to go to Auburn, who based on very limited data, could be making a good jump this year. They got to play Tennessee. They got to play LSU. They got to play Ole Miss and Texas and Missouri. Like, they don't have to play Georgia. They don't have to play Alabama.
Starting point is 00:53:39 There is still a lot of meat on this Arkansas schedule, and I don't think they want to eat. They don't got to play Georgia until the SEC title game. I apologize. And then again, in the playoff. Correct. Yes. Yeah. When they make it.
Starting point is 00:53:51 Yeah. Because scored a zillion, they scored a zillion touchdowns in their opener, which is exactly like facing Oklahoma State and Stillwater. That's right. Yeah. Plus, you know, if Oklahoma State doesn't win this, how can Mike Gundy start angling for the Florida job already? I only have so many blood vessels in my head.
Starting point is 00:54:14 They're all going to pop. That's why you're not Brian Kelly. That's a lot of real estate. Yeah. That's true. Hey, listen, man, you can't, you can't, like, you can't damage someone's heart if they don't have one. Wow. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:54:27 That's poetic. That's not true at all. You could poke around a little cavity. Oh. Yeah. Yeah, I guess that's, that's sort of the whole premise of operation, the board game, isn't it? Let's dig into your heart pit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:39 See what we got in there, cowboy. Additionally, we have, yeah, that's right. America's hottest team. Georgia Tech. Go into Syracuse. it could be 3-0, which if you told me, Jordan Tech was going to be 3-0 after week
Starting point is 00:54:56 three, I would have called you a liar. There's a lot of, like, the Noon slate has a lot of like, okay, like there's that. Yeah, okay. There's Kansas State at Tulane, like, yep, gonna keep an eye on that. I would love to see if Pittsburgh continues to have an offense against a
Starting point is 00:55:12 yeah, we'll call Cincinnati a team with a pulse, that's fine. Sure. Pat Narduzzi doesn't want it to happen guaranteed. Sure. Yeah, there are teams we're going to learn increasingly nothing about because they're doing things like playing McNeese and Texas Tech looking at you, Texas A&M in Georgia. Yeah, that's fine though.
Starting point is 00:55:33 That's all right. Unlike playing a real opponent, like Florida playing Sanford. We need that win. Don't make fun of us, please. Is that one kid still in the bushes? Maybe. He was the only, he's lurking. It's the only Florida player reacting correctly to that situation.
Starting point is 00:55:49 at that time yes yes there's also i think some uh before we get to i think the most important game of the week there's also some yeah you know where i'm going it should be cal oberd but you won't do it no no no i was going there's some insipient fuckery out here in this schedule and i'm about to talk about it i think the thing is there's a an annual spotlight game uh-huh yeah that's right uh that we're gonna boy we'll put the spotlight on that whether you want us to or not but frequently don't yes but before call before we have Cal Auburn which is fucking hilarious because right now Almer's got all this momentum and it would be it would be exquisite to watch them break their teeth on a Cal team that has no intention of doing anything
Starting point is 00:56:38 Spencer is that a conference game it is not a conference game did I think about it for a second Jason I did that was a responsible thing to do it's it's you got to think you got it that's good I had to think about it, yeah. But no, Cal, Cal Auburn. SEC sells Auburn to ACC for the washing machine. Trades back for South Carolina. Also watching Hugh Free's, like, terrified of an Antifa attack at any time. Well worth the price of admission in this game.
Starting point is 00:57:13 I'm from Berkeley. I don't like your Hugh Free's voice. Please don't do that one again. That's the upsetting voice. There are a lot of upsetting voices. We don't know the cruelous. And also in terms of outright fuckery, South Carolina, Kentucky, brother, right there. Come on in, have a seat in this pew.
Starting point is 00:57:33 The Church of Ugly Ass Football is convening. How can you, listen, Lenora Sellers versus Brock Vandagriff, S-E-C football. It's still very funny that this is a game that features coaches who, like, oh, they don't like each other. Oh, they've talked some shit about one of the third. Bad blood. Come on, guys. In the hardest SEC game to care about.
Starting point is 00:58:00 It's just like that mid-card wrestling match where they're like Dolph Ziegler's really got an issue with Chad Gable. I think there's legit heat in the second match on the card. Yeah, I don't like him at all. Crowd. Killing each other.
Starting point is 00:58:18 To total. We love you, South Carolina, Kentucky. Is it time? Yeah, fine. Oh, yeah, we're teetering on the edge of despair, so yeah, let's go. Time to dive all the way in. Is Trump going to this game? No, they're going to send J.D. Vance to this game, right?
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah. Oh, God, probably. To say the weirdest shit imaginable. Yes. I also like corn. You know what corn. You know what corn does is it procreates. unlike some women
Starting point is 00:58:50 to be cleaning over into the toilet and I'm looking at the corn how long have you been working there okay good can I get a glass of corn sweat how long have you been yellow okay good you're gonna live from Kinnick Stadium
Starting point is 00:59:08 you know I also love stalking who's my pick to win I don't know whichever makes sense I love husks so this game is on CBS does that it's going to get like this the classic CBS music is deleted does that mean it's going to be four and a half hours with nothing happening can they do it just with fart noise um yeah I don't know Iowa might just kick the shit out of Iowa State
Starting point is 00:59:39 they might they really might I don't know man I was all cast up they just scored 40 points Anything's possible in life, kids. The spread's only two and a half. The total is a gleaming, glittering, 35 and a half exactly where they want it. Less! Less! Yeah, Iowa State was only leading North Dakota,
Starting point is 01:00:03 14-3 at halftime. And the final was only 21-3. Like, I am not, I don't know. Both of their week-win games were, I do not feel as dis-execis. as maybe the score looked like the the the Iowa State North Dakota one it was like neither team really had the ball somehow just time just evaporated got away from a little bit and so that's why this score is less why North Dakota didn't have any very many points that's just
Starting point is 01:00:31 Kirk Ferrence's magical time drain he opens it during a football game and you're like two hours of 15 minutes how the fuck that happens the entire state yeah um Iowa Iowa State did win this one the last time it was in Iowa City by his score of 10 to 6 seven, Jesus. Yes. Magnificent. Yeah. It's good shit.
Starting point is 01:00:53 It's going to be so proud to be an American. Legends will be made. A punt will decide this game. We have no control over it. There's all kinds of legends. Wasn't that the Bobbled punt decided it game? I think that's right. That describes every game in this series.
Starting point is 01:01:07 It's like a lot of, a lot of the scores in Elasico are horrific, but the Iowa City games in particular, like, here are some. recent samples. 10-7 in 2022. Hell yeah. Delicious. 13-3 in 2018. Beautiful. 9-6 in 2012. Oh, more.
Starting point is 01:01:28 Like, you can really, you can get, like, yeah, there are some in Ames that qualify for this as well, but like, you can really explore the depths. 1988, 10-3. Yeah, man, we've been doing this for fucking ever. Iowa pals, you get a little cranky with this time of year? Do you like how far we got into this segment before we said the name of the game? Like, we have been doing this forever. 1917, 6.3, I will win.
Starting point is 01:01:54 That's right. We have been doing this forever. He's been swinging upside down from the scaffolding next to Batman. I will say, I think I appreciate about this rivalry. That was a background reference. Each side has won a road game. These are back in the early 1900s. Has won a road game in this series by the score of two zero.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Yes. Yes. awesome that that might be my favorite stat it's perfect game perfect price rivalry yeah exclusive content definition of football Iowa State definition of a football definition of America the founding fathers appeared on the horizon as force coast and together they said two magical words rock fight I thought they're going to say Alaska no they didn't speak oh Spanish wasn't invented yet no they're like oh they spoke a lot of things no they spoke like they didn't invent it yeah
Starting point is 01:02:48 until George W. Bush invented Spanish until Taco Bell 2003. Taco Bell appeared yeah I do Kiera you're right that's the game of the week for me brothers and sisters everything else
Starting point is 01:03:01 is everything else is second place roughage everything else is just yeah a little bit of fire you can keep that Michigan Texas bullshit we know what we're here for now now can I talk you into
Starting point is 01:03:13 at 7 o'clock Eastern Alabama proving that last year's game against South Florida was a fluke and showing how Wait, what happened last year? I mean, they thought why what happened? Why, that was when they couldn't block USF.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. USF finished the drill, is what we're saying. Like, it would be deeply funny if South Florida turned around and did the same thing and, like, drag this into a close game because people wouldn't be able to do the little like, oh, damn it,
Starting point is 01:03:44 Kaelin Dabor, look what you've done to this football team. He was like, no, I don't know. Nick did it too. Maybe we're on the right track. Maybe this is the man for the job of Ouseusei. Is that so Sabin-esque of him the way he, the way he looks like shit against USF? Next, you just got to lose the ULM and they'll be like.
Starting point is 01:04:00 He was just trying to send a message to the team. Yeah. Lisan Al-Gump. With the losing. Lysan. You had that one in the holster for a minute. It took me too long to get it out, though. No, it was beautiful.
Starting point is 01:04:14 stumbled on it, much like Alabama against USF. I mean, it's a, it's a toothsome concept. Can I pay you to go into the stands at Bryant Denny and at a quiet moment in the game rise up and say that out loud? Liss I don't go on.
Starting point is 01:04:30 After just like, it's a two-yard game, but I saw a block I really liked. Yeah, with like a really shitty fake beard. Like I'm dressed up. Like he is? Yeah. Be beautiful. I don't know. I think that's an interesting quarter. How's that?
Starting point is 01:04:45 That's fine. Sure. That's fine. Yeah. It feels like the gators who are my, the other team I am eyeing closely each week. You're playing the Bulldogs. Wouldn't you rather watch Marshall at Virginia Tech? I sure wouldn't.
Starting point is 01:05:00 Oh, wow. Okay. Wait, which Bulldogs? Well, that's pretty risky to play Bulldogs when you're, especially when you're Florida. It's risky for us to play anybody. I'd be careful about that one. Stanford's got Cal Polyamory Hey here's a fun one
Starting point is 01:05:19 I don't see anything else interesting on the schedule Oh I see so much interesting That's not true Like even if you don't want to talk about that one There's other stuff here You don't want to see Boise State play Oregon I think there's a great There's a couple of great late games
Starting point is 01:05:32 I'm very interested in watching Boise State play Oregon After watching Oregon Dick around Against Idaho And Boise State run all over Georgia Southern? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:43 But first, Colorado's going to Nebraska, y'all. America's team, Nebraska. That's a lot of big feelings right there, man. That's a lot of big fucking feelings. Yeah, younglings, there's a history here. Well, there's, there's a rivalry. How many generations?
Starting point is 01:05:58 Ask your grandparents. If Nebraska can't get... Oh, God, I forgot about the aluminum cup fracas. If Nebraska can't get Colorado this time, it's time to move on from him, y'all. he ain't the man for the job do you want to watch shader sanders run through rush hour traffic you're about to watch that because that's every game was shader sanders when is the last time here where's the last time nebraska beat colorado it's a great they they they they they're they they're they're serious took a long long
Starting point is 01:06:31 break every year yeah series did take a break but it has been it has been mostly back for the last six this years or at least it's been played more than you think The last time, it would have been, I'm guessing one of the Pellini teams, which doesn't really narrow it down, but... This would be 2010 Nebraska football. Is that... That is Bo Pellini's third year. That's Dan Hawkins' music! Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:57 Oh, wow. That's last time. And Lincoln. Colorado, yeah, Colorado has won the last three games in this series, and only one of those was a Deon team. So, yeah. yeah america's team telling you this this this this is this is they're gonna break that okay okay channel six channel six at a newsletter you should subscribe to uh has a break can't do it outside of podcast business you're not allowed to do that oh job foul yeah yeah careful is it like it's um
Starting point is 01:07:29 he's like out of uh airport customs or whatever that's right yes yes yeah yeah you gotta go back their security. Fine. Some people are saying Nebraska's America channel between five and seven. You know what else is five and seven? Probably Nebraska.
Starting point is 01:07:50 Probably no. I was going to say baby Clemson if they can't beat F. State. Oh! I was about to transition to that game. Why isn't Tennessee NC State on the CW? Yeah. Huh. It's on ABC. Yeah, they're afraid of that.
Starting point is 01:08:06 They're afraid of the raw power. That's true. I don't want to be in the building with those people. They're going to be fine. You're going to have a good time. You're going to be in the building with, what's his name? Tubby, the Mayo Man? Tuffy.
Starting point is 01:08:18 Toughy. Yeah. Oh, Tubby. Toughy. That's right. Tuffy the Wolf and Tubby the Mayo Man. Wow. Both at the same time.
Starting point is 01:08:27 Yep. Wow. I have not seen Tennessee play in person since the last time we had a home and home with Oklahoma. Jesus. us. Was that when Baker Mayfield was playing?
Starting point is 01:08:38 I don't want to talk about how that game went. No, I'm just trying to place it in time, that's all. I don't remember a thing. Okay, never mind. There were, I'm sorry, that was ungenerously
Starting point is 01:08:48 improvisational of me. Thank you, Sonny. See, you woke up to Smokey Dog. Yeah. She objects. By the way, Smokey 11 in year two
Starting point is 01:09:01 after a year of constant training in which he was deemed not ready for primetime last year came out this year ran through the tea wiggling his butt the entire way because all he wants to do
Starting point is 01:09:16 is kill I am told by those on the scene that he tried to bite in no particular order several UTC players and his own drum major well perfect perfect animal
Starting point is 01:09:31 I was going to say as the mascot goes so does the program. So this is probably same. Listen, having a blue tick of my own for the past year and a half for the first time ever has really brought some things home for me about the nature of this program. Hi, baby.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I'm looking at a really weird game. A really weird game that I think has the potential to be, you know, like a Pac-12 after dark methadone substitute with some ingredients thereof. Mississippi State will be at Arizona State playing in Tempe at 10.30 p.m. How did this happen? I just want to know. I'm not criticizing the existence of it. It's interesting. I just want to know how this
Starting point is 01:10:17 was booked. Yeah. It's the back end of a home home that started last year, I believe. Yeah. And this is the one that takes place without humidity. but it'll be like, you know, a breezy 101 degrees when they kick at 10.30 p.m. It's so late. Yeah, with two teams that can score and may not be able to defend much. So enjoy. That'll be a delight. All right.
Starting point is 01:10:47 And, yeah, let's see. Last game. Oregon State, San Diego State. That's decent. And Utah State, USC. So, we'll see if U.S.C.'s defense is actually competent. If they allow, like, you know, any points, then we can go back to worrying, I guess. That's, yeah, let's immediately make you regret saying anything nice about them when Utah State gets, like, 500 yards offense on them.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Also, Liberty's playing their only actual rival, New Mexico State. Will Diego Pavia transfer back? God, I hope so. Just for a game? Just for one game. Vandy has Alcorn State. So, I mean, Vandy's probably fine without him, so.
