Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm trying to go Sunday ticketless this year, which meant I had to watch fucking Titans Bears game. Foof, real. I mean, I say had to. Like, there's not a whole world out there that it could have interacted with instead, but... I've never had Red Zone. So, like, this past Sunday afternoon,
Starting point is 00:00:18 it was, like, three hours of just Tom Brady muttering in the background, lukewarmly. How bad was that? I saw none of it, and I heard people going, like, who it was bad. like it takes a lot for me to like notice an announcer enough to care about it but like it wasn't much to it like the promos of him like you know did you see the promos or he's it's like him talking to his past selves the promos that basically imply tom brady has no one in his life yeah yeah other than ghosts of tom brady past that tom brady is bruce way he wasn't batman and like yeah yeah yeah implying like college tom brady was when he had hope and optimism and like ever since then it's just in this miserable tumble into like he's like the mr beast of making football content where was
Starting point is 00:01:06 crypto investor tom brady that was like god damn it tom that that's that is canonical tom that is the tom who is on fox right now i see making up for that financially bucks brady shows up like like a christmas carol ghost right like oh buddy yes yes yes i am a warning none of these were like Tom Brady the dad. Tom Brady the Hussein. I've worn a lot of hats in my life. They're all football hats. I mean football helmets.
Starting point is 00:01:37 You saw them all on TV. There is nothing more to me than that. Tom, why do you keep going on TV? Where the fuck else would I go? That's where the football is, dumb dumb. That's where people like me. No, they don't. I just read this whole story about Troy Aitman developing a life after football
Starting point is 00:01:55 and about how hard that's been. And, you know, he's been through divorces and he's been through personal change. And he's really, he's trying Pilates and meditation. He's, you know, doing a lot of stuff. He's learning how to forgive himself. Sure. Not be such a perfectionist. Then I turn on the TV
Starting point is 00:02:11 and there's Tom Brady talking to eight different versions of his fuck themselves. The hall of Brady. All of Brady being like, no, go back to football. Make that mistake harder. Fucking Willem DeFoe, Green Goblin. That's literally a Nike
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah, right? When they're like, what is excellence? They're like, don't ever apologize. Be the green goblin. Isn't it in you? The green goblin gas, that is. What if you thought even more about football? What if you shot yourself up with a mysterious compound,
Starting point is 00:02:46 died, and then became a madman, Nike? There goes that sponsorship. Yeah, that's out. No, they probably love it. love it. They're like, yeah. If we can sell the green goblin goo. The Brady goo. You see the new pumpkin threes? My God. Welcome to the shutdown full cast. You are listening to the internet's only college football podcast. We're glad you're here. I'm Spencer Hall. joined us always by
Starting point is 00:03:22 Ryan Nanny Jason Kirk Holly Anderson and Michael Serber on the ones and twos we're coming out of week two
Starting point is 00:03:32 moving into week three we get to look at a schedule this week so grateful that we get to look at a schedule
Starting point is 00:03:39 we're not going to do that just yet I know we got things to do Ryan first I want to know like normally I would say
Starting point is 00:03:46 Jason has the most adventurous recording setup if you ever like why are there bugs and outdoor noises like I would say generously 98% of the time that's because of Jason yeah you're welcome holly has a particularly bold recording set up today how can you unmute and tell us about or is that not even possible okay right now the issue at hand is that I don't have my headset because I sent it home from Charlotte with Spencer that is an error my first
Starting point is 00:04:19 I regret it, but I am currently on my parents' back porch, and within, I think, I guess about like 10 yards, there is the little, there's a little like bubbling creek situation back here that you can probably hear. The neighbor is running, they're riding lawnmower, and my dad is cooking bacon on a propane stove about three years. Yeah! So, oh, and there's chimes. There's giant chimes. Is this, I, listen, I, I, I apologize that this is offensive. Does this qualify as a lanai? I've never truly understood what a lanai is.
Starting point is 00:05:06 Ooh, I don't know. It's not in Florida. I don't think lanais are screened in. Oh, is that the difference? This is, this is screened in, which I don't think lanais are. I think lanais are, like, my understanding of a lanai is that it's a pergola with a roof. Okay. Okay. I, I, I, but that's not, but not a gazebo. No, no, no. The gazebos are free because that's a free stand. Yeah, this is attached to the house. So, so, so attached
Starting point is 00:05:32 gazebo might be roofed, roofed patio. I mean, it's a porch. Okay. I, I regret to tell you, your audio at least, I mean, server's the expert. Your audio sounds fine to me. This is a couple weeks ago when we didn't when I didn't have my my mic set to the correct input nobody noticed like the my laptop mic is actually pretty good but the ambient noise right now is
Starting point is 00:05:58 layered layered I mean by 2010's full cast standards it sounds great oh yeah 100% incredible and there was no and there was no afternoon bacon to go with it either if you listen to our own well we just got tomatoes so okay right
Starting point is 00:06:14 if you listen to some of our more ungrateful listeners, we never left those audio quality days. But I would never... Those people are crazy. I would never besmirch the work of our fine producers and the thankless years of work that Ryan did. I don't think I've seen anyone say that, but whoever said that is looking at the past incorrectly.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Every couple weeks we still do, we still do. And for some reason, I take offense to it, mostly because I watched Ryan for that long. when you know people just straight up wouldn't give us a producer anyway fortunately things have improved since then I produced the show in the same way that raccoons wash food like technically that is what happened I wouldn't recommend it to anybody else though perhaps if you took the full cast and we put it in a little metal bowl of water we've tried to do stupider things
Starting point is 00:07:07 Look at this setup. Will you behold the outdoor, the outdoor majesty here? So this is, this is, this is some sort of like propane hot plate set up. This is a, oh, hold on. Okay, I see. He's got, he's got a frying pan. This is a hibachi that in the winter gets, gets squatted by in the corner for heat. And in the summer, for back purposes, is, uh, is currently standing up on the, on the fish gutting table.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Sure. Sure. Oh. that's right it's going to be home if you're wondering that's right thank you for thank you for our sponsor cormorant cormorant the premier fish gutting table don't do this or don't do it um have you have you all seen and a listener Travis sent us this story but have you seen what's going on with uh local auto dealerships in in the state of Indiana right now Yes, and I love the prettiness.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Ryan, I usually keep very close tabs on that beat, but I have been slightly distracted by auto dealerships in other states. Sure, sure, yeah. All right, so at Purdue season opener, the Roorman Auto Group, which is apparently a huge car dealer in the Midwest, and the official sponsor of Purdue's field, did this promo where if you could hit a 20, a 30,
Starting point is 00:08:36 and a 40-yard field goal, you would win a two-year lease on a car. A student did this successfully, but then they later reviewed the tape and said that his last kick came 0.07 seconds too late, and they're not giving him the lease. No, no, I think it was like, I think it was like zero, there were multiple zeros.
Starting point is 00:09:02 According to their post, it just says 0.07 seconds. seconds. Okay, I thought it was something crazy, like a thousandth of a second, like a track timer. The confusing thing is that the auto dealer has decided to post about this in exciting fashion. This is from them. One participant came so close to victory, finishing just 0.07 seconds past the timer. If only those milliseconds had fallen in his favor, he would have snagged a two-year complimentary lease from... As though this is fun to read.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Right, from Rorman Auto Group. Check out the video below. Talk about a nail biter. And, you know, in any other world where this car dealership was theoretically prepared to get this away, they would have said, you know what, we've reviewed the tape, we're going to give it to them anyway. Aren't we big-hearted? Did that happen? No.
Starting point is 00:09:56 No. Is that funny? Yes, objectively. But what's even funnier is what happened next. Okay. It's like the Olympic Committee posting, like, look how close Jordan Childs was. filing the correct paper word. So exciting.
Starting point is 00:10:09 If only. Oh, well, unfortunately. What radicalized you to the point where you viewed the guillotine as your friend and ally? Well, when I saw a dealership, screw a guy out of a free car. So then, as Holly alluded to, this was not the end of the story. Because, yes, they could have like. Oh, it's so much better. Then Curry Auto Center in Bloomington, Indiana.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Uh-oh. Livington, what's there? The Indiana University. How do they feel about Purdue University? Pretty positively, I bet. Okay. Right. Responded to this and sent an act to everybody possibly involved pretty much and was like,
Starting point is 00:10:58 it counts at Curry and told the student, Zach, reach out to us. We have a free two-year lease for you on a. Chevy Blazer and is, and is now successfully piggybacking off of this other auto dealer's absolute fucking fumble to be like, we're not cheap hassles. We'll give you a car because you made to remind you, this is a student, I assume they pulled out of the stand. They're broke. This is a, this is the kid they pull out of the stands who made a 20, a 30, a 40 year, 40 year, 40 yard field goal. I know college kickers have been a lot better this year.
Starting point is 00:11:35 there are lots of games where the actual kicker I wouldn't if you were like yes or no do you think he'll make a 20 a 30 and a 40 I'll be like I don't know that's three kicks I don't know if that's gonna happen this kid did it and is not getting stunted on and Purdue by Purdue's sponsor I don't know how much it costs his sponsors Purdue's field but I can't imagine it's less than a two year automobile lease get what was it worth bad publicity Did you get that much out of the bad publicity? You just, like, this is an own, this is like an unforced error. Yeah. On their part. Yeah. Purdue, you just got truck cooked. By a Chevy dealership, no less.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Goodness. Yeah. Yeah. The other good part is that the name, the executive, who is named in this. story. Bob Rorman. There is a Crane's Chicago business article that just came out
Starting point is 00:12:43 yesterday. I don't have a membership, so I can't give you the details, but I can read you the headline. Bob Rorman car dealership exec buys most expensive Arlington Heights house in a decade. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:00 Car dealers are legendarily men of the people. I just I picture all of this, all this, I can't decide if Ashley Schaefer from Eastbounded down is more likely to be the Purdue auto dealer or the Indiana auto dealer. But I feel strongly that he's involved in so much. No, he's the Indiana one. He's like, boy, feel this blazer.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Get all up in it. Woo! You like that? You like that? Makes your jumblies kind of light up a little bit. Kenny Powers, I'm going to give your son the car you never could. That's exactly what he's doing here. You say your son to Purdue, but only Ashley Schaefer will give him a car.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Can it powers? I'm your real car dad. I'm your real car dad now. That's why I say, who's your daddy, Purdue? It's me. It's me. Chevy dealer of Central Indiana. This is why it's important to pay attention to all parts of the college football landscape,
Starting point is 00:14:02 because you never know when car dealership war is afoot. this is so good I hope there's a random like I hope there's this becomes a three way conflict with some Kia dealership I hope I hope motorcycle dealer gets involved
Starting point is 00:14:16 frankly this guy's gonna get a private cars suck here's three motorcycles Tara home blimp is here blimps are back I bet you need a boat to park in your driveway
Starting point is 00:14:31 this guy's like this guy's like an egotistical maniacal their dealers transport dealers of Indiana please stop fighting
Starting point is 00:14:40 go for me produce Purdue student sentence for tax fraud after 18 vehicles awarded and like they live in a dorm
Starting point is 00:14:49 I'm assuming so nowhere to put these vehicles their parents' house the front yard is wall to wall looks like a transformer's going on
Starting point is 00:14:57 I have eight Polaris trikes in my swimming pool I don't know why please my parents are drowning in tricycles.
Starting point is 00:15:08 Come on down to Bloomington hang glider. What are you going to jump off of? What is tall enough to jump off of in Indiana? I guess out of the blimp. I think they ought to change the rivalry trophy to the old Oaken trucket. A bucket of trucks. This is really going to make it,
Starting point is 00:15:32 this is really going to change the tenor if Indiana fans start jingling their keys doing that. Because we have keys to vehicles. We have them and you don't. Because we have vehicles and you don't. That's exactly why they do it, please. I think the ultimate own would be like a train company.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Oh, Purdue doesn't have a train that it can give you. Actually, if I have like Indiana's actual biggest drum, because Purdue's drum, there's no way that little thing is the biggest drum in all of Indiana. If I have the actual biggest drum, that's the own that I'm laying on Purdue. Listen, if it's, I believe that'd be, if it's Norfolk, Southern or CSX, you don't want them building a... We'll build a wine right to your house. You're like, no, that'll be devastating for my community. Don't do it.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I wanted to talk about, this again is paying attention to the whole board. Pitt is a special concern for us as a culture. But I do want to talk about the darkly funniest thing I saw, which was Pat Narduzzi after a comeback win against Cincinnati a day later finding out that his AD is fired, right? Like, come back win. Yes, AD fired. No! Instant jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Well, was she necessarily on his side? I don't know a lot about her, but I saw a lot of rather telling comments below the announcement that said that she, that we're deriding her for focusing on, and I'm quoting here, things like soccer. Is it possible that, Um, you know, this, this move buys the dues some time because like, oh, there's, there's
Starting point is 00:17:09 instability elsewhere. Time to lay a few eggs on this schedule. Right, right. When shredders down, you can't get rid of bebop and rock steady. Yeah. It's time. It's both bebop and rock steady in this scenario. As far as off. It's time to play, it's time to play football my way. 10.7 coming. Mods are asleep. Time to punt. Wait a second. This is, we did talk about how furious he must have been given the offensive output earlier this year. Maybe now he could finally... Yeah. The dews is loose. The doos is too loose. She also won like some national athletic director of the year award last year. So it's very like, okay, cool. And listen, I'm sure there are people out there who are like, I know this true story of what's going on. I don't want to
Starting point is 00:17:57 hear the goings-on of pit athletics i just don't i'm too tired i can't i don't have time for that too i'm full of pit lore like i'm sure it's important i'm sure it's important to you but to me it will be like one of my children explaining a television show that they oh really wow the panther did what that sounds great okay bud i got to go do the dishes now thanks which are they explaining these days um they're they're back to classics at this point like we watch we watch a lot of Daniel tiger for the two-year-old and like yep a lot of great lessons but like i got to tell you these songs do not slap these songs do not slap and i i appreciate more and more, the children's television writers and producers who decide to make shows with
Starting point is 00:18:53 songs that at least somewhat slap. And if they don't, like, because now I just got to listen to him in a car. He's also, like, the younger one is also very into Mary Poppins these days, huh, uh, the original one, which has led me as, like, I've been, I've been texting my wife confusing things about like, about Mary Poppins. I'm like, do you think, the younger boy in Mary Poppins serves in World War II? Like, do you think that's what happens to him? When is it? One day you'll slit the throat of a Jerry.
Starting point is 00:19:26 She's like, I'm at work. Can we talk about this later? And I'm like, no, we have to talk about this. No. Oh, wow. So it's said in a night. If you had a word cloud of things that your wife had said to you in the entire time, you've known each other is, can we talk about this later?
Starting point is 00:19:40 Oh, it's, it's high up there. So it's said in 1910, which means like, bombing. are affecting. They could die in several books. Right, right. He's like, I don't know. Michael Banks is maybe like six or seven when this happens in the movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:56 So like 1910? Yes, that's when the movie is set. Yeah. Okay. So he could be a middle age man running off the beach at Dunkirk. Too much pork and beans. So I did look into it because I'm broken. He would have still been old enough to be drafted.
Starting point is 00:20:16 even if he had been in his, you know, like late 30s or early 40s, I think he still would have qualified. But in the sequel, they established that he, like his father, is also a banker. And banker was one of the jobs that they exempted from service in World War II. So, no, I can say definitively, and this is, listen, this is why you listen to this show to get the hottest takes about the Barry Poppins verse. Michael Banks did not serve with honor in World War II. Coward behind his Gilded walls. I love that England decided that.
Starting point is 00:20:54 They're like, here, bankers, we couldn't see that. His name's not Michael Guns. Got them. They sent David Niven to war, but they didn't send bankers. Can we tell the David Niven of war story? Yeah, that David Niven didn't talk about World War II.
Starting point is 00:21:09 He served. He went to Sandhurst. He was a trained officer, and he'd served in the military before. So when he became an actor, and World War II broke out, he came back and was like, yep, I got to train to do this, I can do this. So David Niven goes to World War II. And he never talked about it because he took his job very seriously and was very traumatized by all the horrible things that happened in World War II.
Starting point is 00:21:26 But soldiers who served with them said that during the Battle of the Bulge, where he served with distinction, they were about to do something crazily dangerous, right? They were about to go over the top of a trench or they were about to go attack a German battalion. And he looked at them and he said, I know this is going to be scary, boys, but you only have to do it once. I'm going to have to do it later on a soundstage in Hollywood with Errol Flynn. Whole thing over again. Crazy, huh? All right, let's go. Do you think we will ever return to a world where famous actors and musicians are sent off?
Starting point is 00:21:56 Like, do you think we'll ever be like, Timote, it's time, take up arms? Tyrese. Is it so weird to be anti-year-old and also hope that this happens? No, I don't think that's weird. I just saw Timothy Shalany, Shalame, ban at a man. That was, that's unreal. Like, I guess we're just done with that as a thing. I think Zalfron would be good at war.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Like, remember when we were like, you know who's going to go to war? Baseball players. That was just a thing that we did. We were just like, yep, baseball players fly planes now. We need all the people we can get. I can't imagine. I think Chipper Jones at the helm of a, like, at the helm of a Navy destroyer. I assumed Jimper Jones would be like, where is the ATV division?
Starting point is 00:22:39 How can I, how can I be in charge of that? We can find one of those. This is just kidding. Chipper Jones would claim a religious exemption as the Cracker Pope. What are your skills? Zan? Zan and ATVs? Oh, you're a Zen master.
Starting point is 00:22:57 In a manner, speaking. That's, that's, yeah. Yeah, wherever you are outside in America, remember every 30 minutes, a blower will pass you. It's just a rule. that is that is all the actual football that I had to talk about because it was actually it's been yep that's the news yeah that's it michigan is definitely not getting sued by two prominent alumni oh wait speaking of michigan and the state of south dakota is not suing the NCAA today those are not happening our buddy rich at the an arbor district library reached out to us over the weekend the library is looking to design a mascot
Starting point is 00:23:42 in the vein of the Japanese city-style mascots, Ann Arbor has a sister city in Japan, and apparently the mascot came to visit and was a huge hit. And Rich is looking for, has put the call out for concepts for an Ann Arbor library mascot and wanted to extend that invitation to our listener base because we have a lot of friends of the library. If you would like to pitch him on your mascot design,
Starting point is 00:24:09 you can email him at Rich, as in rich at aADL.org. And this is a paid gig, I should point out. If your idea is selected, you will be paid for your work. So we certainly hope that one of you snags this opportunity and further strengthens our undying bond with the Ann Arbor District Library. And good luck to everybody.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I'm not going to make this, but I would like to propose some sort of Lovecraftian beast that face on books that needs knowledge to survive. A human condition, yeah. Yeah, and he's got an arch enemy who's just like, mm, ignorance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that arch enemy is, of course,
Starting point is 00:24:55 Buckeye guy. Bertie's bucky. Do you have a poisonous nut or a nutritious book? Books will never poison you. That's not actually good medical. That's a good thing. And also, some of them can't. Depending on the book.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Depend. All right. There are Tucker Carlson books. Rich will send you the list of the top ten most nutritious books for you to consume. And Brutus the Buckeye will send you Rogan. I'll just send you links to Rogan. There are books for them. Oh, my mom says this is a chainsaw. It's not a blower. Oh.
Starting point is 00:25:31 Oh, dad says it's a blower. Oh, family divided. Man. Mom's here, too, by the way. Is it a combo weapon? Is it a blow weapon? saw does it blow chains there's this line of trees right here and i can't see down the hill so it's firing chainsaws at those trees we do also have uh we do also have a big ass pragmatist which is lucky as everyone knows i think that's a i think that's a d2 weapon three
Starting point is 00:25:57 attacks per round ap negative two uh is rating it um there there's also i lied there's more news there's always more news in addition oh we're deep in our news bag i know But there's this. I saw it, and I thought, oh, man, that just sounds fake as shit. And it turns out that it's only slightly fake. There was a Denver sports blog post talking about how at Colorado, not a serious football program, this is entertainment news, no longer played the fight song after a touchdown. They played a song. Wait, was that real?
Starting point is 00:26:35 I thought this was a joke. Dion weighed in on it. right well wait wait no say finish sorry finish it first because i heard what you're talking about and i thought they were kidding i thought i thought they were kidding too and it turns out that we were all right and we were all wrong because it was not entirely accurate but the explanation made things sound worse just why this is still entertaining uh the cow bonagura reporting said that um a colorado spokesperson told him that uh this is not true nobody's ever asked the band to refrain from playing the fight song oh cool
Starting point is 00:27:08 after a touchdown the band plays glory glory colorado after a point after touchdown the band plays fight c u as has been standard practice for years all right that's cool the statement doesn't stop there when shader sanders scores the band will wait a moment for a small snippet of shader's song to play before immediately kicking into glory glory colorado Yeah. Rick James never ground his heels into your couch. Does this is the statement where it also, where it also points out that they do something similar for the kicker when he makes a field goal? Yeah, I didn't know the kicker got a song. Listen, I can be okay with this if every, if everybody on the roster.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Yes, if everybody on the roster gets. Yes. And after every tackle for loss, we play this guy's song. Or, you know, in mass. this would be kind of charming like if everybody if everybody had their own song but they all had to write it and perform it well it could be it could be one and two things that it could
Starting point is 00:28:16 I mean in baseball everybody gets their own song sure it's not recorded by them but it could also be if you've recorded your own song that can be your song and like you score they play a little bit of your song and then they play the fight song that's honestly I think that's perfect for Colorado
Starting point is 00:28:32 in a lot of schools but doing a special one just for the coach's son and the song isn't even good that's uh it feels like every colorado story is colorado in a nutshell what were you going to say server i i'm just i'm feeling like inner sympathy for if they actually do that for the production people at the stadium because the thing about baseball is there's 30 people on the roster a lot of the pitchers never hit so they're you know who's up next yep um if in college football they're 80 on the ground have to coordinate with you and you can't
Starting point is 00:29:07 see them. You're right. They're 80. You have no audio communication with them. 85 scholarship players. We have to install infrastructure with 85 hotkeys and we now need a spotter for the person that plays the music. Job creation. Job creation.
Starting point is 00:29:24 If that person is in a position to spot for the PA guys, they cannot also probably logistically be in a position to spot for the band. So the band needs a spotter. Yes. Yes. And duplicate numbers are going to pose a problem here. There's just going to be mistakes that are made with duplicate numbers.
Starting point is 00:29:41 Hey, man, we got all this, uh, we got all this TV money pouring in, time to hire a bunch of people just to play the right. I love, like, imagine, if, it's infrastructure week here at Colorado. Imagine if Jersey number three scores and you X, or, or Shudor scores, you actually play Jersey number three song. Imagine what happens to you if you fail to play Shador song. Yeah. Dion excommunicates you from Boulder.
Starting point is 00:30:03 If you play, if you play me, the third string fullbacks, extremely stupid. Connor O'Malley style song, which has nothing to do. It's like, hot dogs and football. I like hot dogs. Here's the good news. Do you know how many, other than Shadur Sanders, do you know how many players on the Colorado Buffalo's roster have scored a touchdown this season?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Not many. Three. It's just three. And all in an FCS game. It's not particularly pressing. Well, and they're all Travis Hunter, right? Travis Hunter has three of the five touchdowns. Okay, okay, yeah, right, got it.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Yes, yes. So, so in other words, we don't need 83 hot keys. That's the beauty of Colorado. The internet likes to, uh, throw, throw trash on the term theater kid a lot. And I think like does it in ways that are frequently inaccurate. This is a little bit theater kid energy. This is a little, like, we have to. to play my song. Like, it's, it's the, it's the part where it's like, no, I have to come in on, like,
Starting point is 00:31:11 it's the, the attention to detail is a little bit theater kid energy. This is literally a moment in the Jekyll and Hyde musical. In the bridge, in the bridge of the song called, this is my moment, the key change. This is that exact thing. Like, I think this is what Colorado needs to do is say like, no, we're not insufferable. We're not like, talked about too much. We're theater kids. We're the most theatrical program in college football. And I think that could really draw some new attention in.
Starting point is 00:31:44 Colorado has a strong outdoor Shakespeare tradition. We're just, uh, we're just propping that up. Um, so, we need to, we need to know this, by the way. We need to know the number of streams on Shadur Sanders song. No. Because right now it says he has a hundred and that feels like bullying. You cannot say this because this is the same
Starting point is 00:32:05 week that it came out that somebody some dude i think i apologize for being assuming gender but once you hear the story i think you'll follow me came up came up with AI songs and then created bots to stream the songs and made like 20 million dollars off of this process so whatever streaming numbers you see for anything from now on i don't believe the most similar that we didn't do this with our AI country songs before AI country songs became a thing yes so i'll tell you this 110 000 monthly listeners for Shadur Sanders. C.W. McCall, the guy who sang Convoy, who has been
Starting point is 00:32:41 dead for 40 years, 502,000. Okay, so play convoy after Colorado. According to Spotify, the most similar artists to Shudor are Dion Sanders Jr. Dion Sanders. And then scrolling down, we find,
Starting point is 00:33:01 there's Levi-on ball. It's Raymond Willie Beeman. on this slip knots mentioned here for some reason huh I just you know
Starting point is 00:33:16 we're talking about them so I guess something's working somebody is going to pause this podcast listen to that song increases
Starting point is 00:33:25 yes yes you're welcome impressions Colorado impressions have never been higher meme team meme team
Starting point is 00:33:35 And that's what matters most, folks. Is maybe the best way to understand Colorado football is a reflection of the broken internet business model? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they are content. Is there any, but is there any content here? Oh, no, no, no. We just get lots of clicks.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Once we find a buyer for the Colorado program. Holy shit, meta paid $8 million for Colorado football. It is very funny, a football program pivoted to audio. like do y'all like win games no that's not what we're about no we've got a new revenue line we're very excited about um yeah i don't want to tease here but i have a late breaking message please from listener tyler uh just catching up on after dark in reply to the saline county gop fight that happened here's a great sentence the puncher is my uncle yes and i can provide more context to happen if you want.
Starting point is 00:34:37 Tyler, call us. Okay. Call us. Okay. Yeah. We definitely want to hear about it. Shall we pause for some brief podcast business?
Starting point is 00:34:51 Podcast business. It's a business. Podcast business. What's a business? Play this before we score every touchdown. That's why we play the podcast business song when we score a touchdown and then they play the fight song. but you're contractually obligated to play it.

Celebrating Anthony Colandrea. Holly, what is our false fall status at this point? I so I'm not in Georgia right now
Starting point is 00:37:36 but I would like to point out to everybody who said that this was not Liars Fall that I am currently three hours north of Atlanta and it is hot as Jesus no it's it's we got a nice breeze it's balmy 84 right now but the um here's the thing the thermometer is doing and this is actually
Starting point is 00:37:57 especially for a listener who I won't blow up but who I I've been helping coach through on blue sky, false fall, because false fall is doing a very sneaky thing. You will notice I'm holding my weather app up to the screen because football is a visual medium and so is podcasting and so is weather, that all the forecasts for the next 10 days say, oh, high of 80, high of 79, high of 81.
Starting point is 00:38:22 Today it says a high of 86. The screen has looked like this for the past week or so when all these predicted highs look nice and normal, but that mysterious 86 88 kind of keeps coming with you it's piggybacking tomorrow it says it's going to you know today was supposed to be 80 it's already 86 yesterday was supposed to be 80 it was 89 it listen you have to this is like it follows okay you can't you can't stop running so you can't ever stop running the good news is that homefield has something for you no matter how much fall is lying to you about what's going on t-shirts it's still too hot
Starting point is 00:39:02 for your bomber jackets, but that means it's not too late to order your bomber jackets. Exactly. Yes. T-shirts. Get your short sleeves in the meantime. Rip the sleeves off this t-shirt if you want. Once you own it, Homefield can't stop you from doing that. It's not a mattress where that's a crime. In Charlotte, at a
Starting point is 00:39:18 in a gator shirt with the sleeves ripped off. And honestly, he has never been handsomer. I have an Iowa shirt with the sleeves ripped off that I wear the YMCA here. Actually, if you buy an Iowa shirt, the sleeves just instantly rip off, right? off on that. We're joking, but Spencer, didn't Homefield cut sleeves off of your App State shirt
Starting point is 00:39:36 at your request before they said it came out of, I don't know if they'll do this for you, it came out of the envelope, sleeveless. Like, not not like they didn't put sleeves on it. Very clearly had been raggedly cut off. Yes. Folks bombard homefield with requests for them to
Starting point is 00:39:54 modify the shirt. True. Because they're busy because this Thursday, September 12th, they're releasing corduroy hats for over 50 And you know what? I bet most of you would look great in a corduroy hat. I know Spencer would not look great in a corduroy hat. And I say that would love an affection. It's too big. And it's fine. And it's fine. So if you're not Spencer, take a look at the corduroy hat. Spencer, don't look at the corduroy hat. No matter of your Spencer or not Spencer, which is literally the only kinds of people in the world. You either Spencer or you're not Spencer. That's the only binary I believe in. Um, you can use offer code fullcast to save 20% off your first order at homefield apparel.com
Starting point is 00:40:36 buy a hat, by some joggers, by crewneck, by, buy a hoodie. Man, coach's jacket. By shut down full cast apparel. We don't talk about it that much, but, and you may be wondering like, boy, they haven't put anything new here in a while. One, I'm very lazy. Two, homefield's very busy. Very, very, very busy.
Starting point is 00:40:56 And if you think they're going to be like, oh, yeah, we'll tell Tennessee and Oklahoma and Ohio State and Oregon, like, yeah, we'll tell them they got to wait a couple weeks so we can refresh the full cast line. That shit is not happening. We got some MS paint shit to upload, so hang on there, Notre Dame. Ryan cooked up a graphic that doesn't transfer to clothes. Let me see what we can do about that. Somehow three-dimensional. It's pointy and sticky for some reason. Ew
Starting point is 00:41:26 Sorry What we say Not to go directly back to quoting your wife But sorry means you won't do it again I can be sorry But also incapable of being better Just stop lying about being sorry Okay
Starting point is 00:41:40 Yeah Just don't say sorry It's the performative apology thing we do You knew what I was when you handed me A beautiful bomber jacket I'm not actually sure I would recognize What being sorry was even if I were.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Home field apparel. I don't know. I don't know. That's four right now. Home field apparel. Never apologize for anything in your life. Never let the bastards get you down. Home field apparel.
Starting point is 00:42:06 You know who didn't apologize? Michigan football. They want a national title, baby. That's right. Their coach died and they still won a title. He died twice. He's better than Jesus. He died over.
Starting point is 00:42:18 He died during throughout six games. and then he died to the NFL. That's three. That's right. That's right. You know what, you know, yeah. Another word for running the ball, rolling the stone. That's what they did.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Roll it back. Jim Harbaugh was resurrected. And he went to where all good saints go, Los Angeles. Literally the city of angels. Who wants to tell our listeners about prize picks? I would love to tell our listeners about prize picks. Let's hear it, bud. I'm so good at this.
Starting point is 00:42:43 Yep. Prize picks. It's America's number one daily fantasy sports app with over five million active members. It is easy. It is exciting to play daily fantasy sports on prize picks. Unlike other apps on prize picks, it's just you against the numbers. That's right. All you're going to do, let them hear it. All you're going to do is pick more, more or less? More. More. Less. Sometimes less. Sometimes. Always more. Sometimes. I watched a lot of pro football quarterbacks this weekend. Less. Less. There was a lot of less involved.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Week one. Less. A lot of less involved. on two to six player stat projections and watch the winnings roll in that's right we have to we have say Caleb Williams if you'd had Caleb Williams and you had Caleb Williams and you had selected less which you know definitely did because rookie quarterbacks coming in they tend to be little babies they tend to go ooh shiny thing in the sky that's the sun I'm watching that and not the pass rush but it wouldn't have worked it wouldn't have worked do you know why why why Because right now, for the month of, for every week in September, Caleb Williams only needs one passing yard to get you one win on prize picks. That's crazy. That's like, look, is it theoretically possible that Caleb Williams could get you less? Yes. With the Bears, all horrifying quarterback possibilities are on the table.
Starting point is 00:44:12 But in a win over the Tennessee Titans, Caleb Williams did indeed have more than one passing yard. How many? It's not important. It's just more. It was quite a bit more. It wasn't two. It wasn't five. No,
Starting point is 00:44:26 wasn't even 12. Yeah. I'm not comfortable going higher than that. And by the way, if Caleb Williams or any other player in your lineup was injured, you've got an injury insurance policy that your lineup stand play, even if one of your players gets injured. If your player leaves in the first half,
Starting point is 00:44:41 it doesn't return. Hey, at prize picks, your picks are still live. In the spirit of Moore, uh, I have also added a lawnmower that I, Oh, my gosh. Less, less lawnmower.
Starting point is 00:44:54 No, more lawnmower. Always. Keep him coming. Always. With his creations, will a lawnmower not be part of the choir? That's right. You can download the Price Picks app today and use code full cast, F-U-L-C-A-S-T. Get $50 instantly when you play $5.

Price Picks, run your game and your lawnmills. mower defy spencer's wishes who more more more that's right with that would you like to play this week's edition of our special
Starting point is 00:45:31 prize pick sponsors segment less or more more yeah I can't wait to play it okay this is maybe the first time and granted we haven't been doing this that long that I have actually come up with a way that you can answer the question less or more and not
Starting point is 00:45:47 just use some other word um Where's the fun in that? You'll see. Does anybody know who is hosting College Game Day this week? I do not. Which city?
Starting point is 00:45:59 Which campus, yes. Oh, USC. More, yes. Correct. The university. That's right. I see what you did all. The University of South Carolina is indeed hosting.
Starting point is 00:46:10 The real USC. The last time that's the last time that, uh, Southern Calabama. Um, the last. time that South Carolina hosted game day was September 27th, 2014. So, Spencer, I'm going to make you do this because I enjoy seeing you struggle the most. No offense, Holly and Jason, I just want good things for you guys. I understand. I'm going to give you, we're going to go through 10 other schools, 10 other FBS programs, and you have to tell me if they have hosted game day more
Starting point is 00:46:45 recently than South Carolina or less recently than South Carolina than the last time it was at. September 27th, 2014. Okay. You could say before or after, but that would fuck up the game so don't do that.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Okay. All right. You should repeat what he's not supposed to do so that it lodges in the front of his head? You're going to tell me if it's more recent or less recent. Okay. Your first school,
Starting point is 00:47:14 has this school, hosted Game Day more recently or less recently than South Carolina, the other USC, the University of Southern Cal? More recently. The answer is less recently. Game Day has not been to SC since November 2013. This is all per Wikipedia, so if it's lies, talk to somebody else. That's, yeah, please. Incredible, anti-Big Ten bias. Um, okay. Has Iowa hosted Game Day more recently or less than South Carolina. I'm going to go less recently. That is correct.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Game Day has not been to iOS since September of 2006. That's crazy. Western Michigan, more recently or less recently than South Carolina? More recently. That is correct. November of 2016. I imagine that has to have been when PJ Fleck was leading them to a BCS bowl, probably. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:15 keeping on theme with our previous sponsor Indiana more recent or less recent host of college game day football specifically although basketball they probably haven't done a while you know what I'm gonna bet I'm gonna bet that they in the Pennix era
Starting point is 00:48:33 they probably caught one so I'm gonna say more recently it was August 2017 so I don't think that would have been the Pennix era necessarily but it is indeed more recently so that qualifies. I'm going to guess that was they were, August,
Starting point is 00:48:49 did you say? August, yes. I think it was like a week one. I think it was maybe like some league course of anniversary type thing. I think if I remember correctly, it might have been like Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what it was. Stanford. Has Stanford hosted
Starting point is 00:49:05 Game Day more recently or less recently than South Carolina? That's a hard one. I'm going to say less. Stanford has has not hosted Game Day since November 2000. 11. So yes, less recently. That's fine. Mississippi State. Has Mississippi State hosted game day more or less
Starting point is 00:49:23 recently than South Carolina? I'm going to say more recently. I think I remember this. It is more, but it's barely. South Carolina was September 2014. Mississippi State was October 2014. Okay, okay. Arizona. Has Arizona hosted game day more or less recently than South
Starting point is 00:49:42 Carolina? Oh, man. I got to say less recently. It's more recently, September 2015. So not that recent, but more recently. All right, just a few more here. I think I have three more on the list. Has Arkansas hosted Game Day more recently or less recently in South Carolina? That's diabolical.
Starting point is 00:50:09 I'm going to say less recently. It's far less recently. November, 2017. Six is the last time Arkansas hosted college game day. You know what? That is, that is anti-Port discrimination. That is correct. That is correct. Temple has Temple hosted
Starting point is 00:50:29 college game day more recently or less recently than South Carolina. I'm going to say more recently because of the mat rule factor. Ah, I don't know if this, I don't think this would have been Matt Rule. On October, in October 2015, Temple did indeed host college game day They were playing Notre Dame that day in Philly So I'm not sure how much that factors into it
Starting point is 00:50:52 But it wasn't even more recently That's the we're friends with you because you have a PS5 Yeah And your last more or less Has the University of North Carolina hosted college game day More or less recently than the University of South Carolina Yeah this is a toss-up
Starting point is 00:51:12 Like, I'm full tossed up. Oh, they, so they tied? Yeah. The same day. They hosted it the same day. Shrodinger's game day. I'm going to say, I'm going to say more recently. UNC has not hosted college game day.
Starting point is 00:51:29 Again, if Wikipedia is correct. Not. Since November of 1997. Oof. So, no. South Carolina, far more recently. Spencer, I didn't keep a score, and that means you win. That's right.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Congratulations, bud. I think I'm with six and four. You know why you win? Because you successfully followed the rules of the game. That is correct, which were explained to me so clearly. Thank you. Thank you for another outstanding edition of more or less. That has been more or less, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Morris. Can I do one more business? Yeah, do some business. We're still technically in business. Okay, good. Speaking of libraries, in fact, the watch grid this year available at jasonkirk.fye my substack
Starting point is 00:52:16 sometimes people like offer me money for this thing it's very kind of them but I'm not taking that what I am accepting instead is requests to libraries that they stock my book which is as noted good according to many people who aren't me and I have some early tallies the goal is 1,000 library requests and you can go to see either this week or last week's
Starting point is 00:52:39 watch grid for exact details on you know what how to request and so forth um and i'm keeping track like like geographic locations uh currently the leaders as far as states go um among larger states we have illinois is fucking killing it but kentucky thank you kentucky kentucky is going hard um the largest states that are uh per capita doing the worst we're going Arkansas Mississippi Idaho and west virginia but there's still plenty of time still plenty of time we're only a quarter of our way to our goal so there's plenty of time to bring it up once we hit a thousand requests to libraries i'll be donating a thousand dollars to the charity of the choice of someone chosen at random uh from
Starting point is 00:53:23 this list and uh i think that's it i assume if you request the library acquire a book in the state of florida randtas sends the police to your house i hope so i i we have let's see in the state of florida um 15 people have requested it there brave souls really really really really want to get banned by Rhonda Sandus. Do you know how badly I want that? I will never stop talking shit if I'm at the Judy Blume list along with domestic terrorist
Starting point is 00:53:53 Judy Blume. Hey, hi, dumb guy from the internet here, Jason. Nobody's going to buy your book, bro. Yeah, nobody's going to. People say that sometimes. And then I go in, well, let me update the numbers. They said that about bees is too. The Jesus of bees.
Starting point is 00:54:11 Is that what that is? The S, yes. No, Beezus. Ramona's sister, canonically, the Bee Jesus, the B Christ. So blessed. My dad
Starting point is 00:54:27 just said, no thunderstorms, please. No, they're going to strike Ryan. Oh, come on. Oh, that's mean. Well, I don't, I don't. Oh, okay. I'm glad I can't hear what he's saying. We got some Charlie Brown parent going on here.
Starting point is 00:54:40 This is good. does that conclude does anyone else on podcast business before we close the floor and we operate a very tight ship here folks Robert Rules of order here
Starting point is 00:54:51 Channel 6 do we want to get a channel 6 plug in oh yeah that's right channel 6 oh geez pardon me so full of enthusiasm as I am
Starting point is 00:55:05 for our newsletter that we produce two things a week top whatever came out yesterday. We talked about many magnificent things, including yes, Srodinger's here, the improbability of looking at whether Texas is back
Starting point is 00:55:19 and whether it can ever be truly observed in your inbox twice a week. Just $10 a month or $100 for the whole year for nothing but the finest bespoke college football, sports, and lifestyle content that I produced with Holly and that Holly produces with me. Okay, before we end, Serber and I are back producing.
Starting point is 00:55:42 We're not all like this. Georgia episode just came out. Florida State episode is coming out soon. Got more colleges that will make me feel bad about myself down the road, I'm sure. Go Gators. I'm so sad. But you can listen to that wherever podcast. Does Georgia make you feel bad about yourself?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Why does Georgia make me feel sad about myself? Yeah. Well, okay. So first of all, I do, I was thinking about this with the NFL today. I do try to, at the start of a season, go through with NFL and with college football and, like, heat check. Like, is there somebody with whom I have a deep, unpleasant relationship that will make me hate this team? And in the NFL is pretty thin these days, but it's thinned out a lot of, in college football these days. No, it's mostly just like what Georgia has meant to me has changed so drastically over the course of the last,
Starting point is 00:56:40 seven, eight years that it's like, I don't know, it was really fun to throw 1980 in their face for a long time. And now it's totally meaningless. And that's just difficult for me. That's just, it's about me, not them.
Starting point is 00:56:56 You can throw it, you can throw it 2023 at them. That's right. That's right. Clock's ticking! Man, it couldn't be me. Imagine not winning a title last year, except it was also me.
Starting point is 00:57:10 Yeah, like, all you have now is you'd be like, Kirby's haircut still sucks. Our coach is more attractive than yours. Yeah, our coach is... I think so. Okay, that's great. Nick Savin's last win. Yeah, that's it. None of this works.
Starting point is 00:57:26 None of this sticks. That's fine. All right, podcast business concluded. Is it time for the schedule? Let's look at this schedule. Y'all, I gotta go catch a flight. Spencer ducking the schedule. I'm ducking again.
Starting point is 00:57:41 I'm a Florida fan. I'm scared of the schedule. Get look at the shit. All right. Spencer, is Florida playing this week? Yes. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:49 More. Playing Texas A&M. Oh, less. That's all he needs to know. Less. Less. Are we throwing a freshman quarterback out there
Starting point is 00:57:56 against Michael Coast defense? Yes. Less. It's fine. I'm glad you asked. They lost the Notre Dame. And it turns out. Notre Dame might not be that great.
Starting point is 00:58:07 So it's fine. Peace is impossible in death is Forever. Bye. Speaking of, you want to talk about eternal war. Arizona State, Texas State kicks things off on Thursday. And that's a pretty decent game. It wasn't right about
Starting point is 00:58:26 but Texas State, brother. Every fucking simulation in that game, Texas State makes the fucking playoff. And here they are. Solid, decent. Arizona State also respectable. Strong. Slightly, that's of a surprise. still i would i would say that's very much a surprise given the last couple years of
Starting point is 00:58:44 arizona state football frankly sure yeah yeah so uh not a bad game at all no uh friday has two good games foo nothing but like both in the same state what the hell's going on friday is like a great little mini package of football for you you and lv like based on the rankings yeah biggest game based only on the rankings the biggest game of the weekend is friday night and it's been it's been it's been in years since we've been able to say that. Yes, Arizona, Kansas State in Manhattan. Kansas State is still technically undefeated.
Starting point is 00:59:19 Tulane fans are not happy about that. Oh. And I certainly understand why Kansas not undefeated, but would still be a very nice win for UNLV, who I think is probably not getting the same attention as Boise State because, like, they don't run for 18 touchdowns on you. But, like, they fucking destroyed Houston, week one. And if they can, if they can knock off Houston and Kansas, like, those are pretty, they still have Syracuse.
Starting point is 00:59:51 They still have Syracuse on the schedule. They still have Oregon State. That's before you get to, like, all of their Mountain West games. Like, I, UNLV is definitely an interesting team to start look at when you're like, all right, who from the group of five? It's going to start fucking, fucking with the playoff. like UNLV was real fun last year not a lot of early indications that they won't be pretty fun this year
Starting point is 01:00:14 so yeah there are a lot of things about the playoff that I morally do not agree with such as the existence of the playoff but I like the automatic G5 spot I like it it's like this whole secondary undercard race that if we're going to do this shit I approve of this detail
Starting point is 01:00:30 Arizona they feel to me like what Colorado thinks Colorado is not to make everything about Colorado but like this is a team where you Yeah, Fafita at quarterback, he's awesome. McMillan at receiver, he's awesome. Everybody knows where the ball's going on every play. It works great.
Starting point is 01:00:44 It's cool. It's fun to watch. They put up tons of points to give up tons of points. Like, take, the healthy thing to do as a viewer is to take all that Colorado attention and slide it over to Arizona, I think. Can I throw out that Saturday is very confusing because it feels like all of the games are in the wrong times? Hmm. Like, does that, Holly, you and I,
Starting point is 01:01:08 we're talking about this a little bit earlier, but like the night games almost all feel like noon games. And a lot of the noon games feel like they should be maybe 330 games, maybe night games. Like, like, yeah, aesthetically this whole. And it's also, this is also a, you can find exceptions to this. So don't at me. But this is also the last week before a lot of teams dive into conference play. I know there's been a couple, you know, and I mean diving into conference play in earnest. I know there have been conference games, don't at me. So there's, there's a tendency for this to be kind of a draggy week anyway, like historically.
Starting point is 01:01:49 But also, as we've said on this show many, many, many times, every time we have the temerity to say, you know, oh, this week is going to be weird, it turns into a barn burner. Right. So like the upside downedness, I mean, I'm saying like Maryland, Virginia is one of the last games to kick off. That's fucked up. Yeah, this is a temporal. And backyard brawls in the daytime, which medically is probably a good thing. Texas Tech is kicking off at noon Eastern. That's fucked up. Oh, okay. That's, yeah, that's fucked up.
Starting point is 01:02:16 UTSA at Texas is a 7 o'clock Eastern kick. That, that's fine. That feels, that feels very noon to me, though, doesn't it? Yeah. Like, why is, like Oklahoma State at Tulsa is, uh, right? That's too early. It's also a noon kick. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Which, wait, that's an 11 a.m. local kick.
Starting point is 01:02:35 isn't it? I think the way this Saturday shit up for me is at first you know I heard like LSU South Carolina is the game day game and I'm like who it's going to be a rough one but you look at it it's like all midcard like there's going to be a lot of shit emerging from this um in the watch grid this week I only have one green game
Starting point is 01:02:51 all Saturday and like and I might have the highest percentage of like yellow maybe games I've ever had um I could talk myself into just about anything on this schedule um this is a quad box Saturday, if ever I've seen one.
Starting point is 01:03:08 And there's also, like, you know, like it or not, and we don't like it, but there's, there's several, uh, there's several marquee rivalry games this weekend. So, you know, those are, those are temporarily and on the calendar unstuck in time. Yeah. So that's just adding to it. Having the Civil War is weird. Having the app up here is weird. Yeah. Apple Cup is the one that for whatever reason feels weirdest too. It shouldn't feel right to play. Playing that game under the sun feels wrong. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:39 There's a lot about this that just... Playing that game within any sight of the sun feels wrong. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, to Jason's point, there... I mean, look, Jason, give me, like, a handful of, like, sneaky yellows here that you're like... Okay, you should... Like, Virginia Tech Ad Old Dominion, does that get a yellow?
Starting point is 01:04:00 I mean, you could talk yourself into it based on previous games in their series. I didn't have it here, but... Sure. I mean, North Texas, Texas Tech, that's almost guaranteed to be wacky times. Memphis, Florida State, sure, I want to see Florida State fuck up again. Who doesn't? I mean, like, yeah, like, it's funny, Boston College, Missouri, that's a ranked game. And it's like, what?
Starting point is 01:04:19 How? Why? You know, that's like about as 2007 as it gets. I mean, I have the Apple Cup as a like, all right, we are all going to clock and we're going to watch the Apple Cup. We're going to watch this fucked up, demented, why the hell is this in early September on Peacock Apple Cup? because the spread in that, I mean, you know, like Wazoo has a, you know, it's only 4.5 points. Like it, it's, it should be a quite decent game. But also in that slot, you have, I mean, yeah, backguard drawl, that's an obvious one.
Starting point is 01:04:48 App State ECU. Like, there's a lot of people, there's going to be a lot of people in that building who can't stand each other. That's good shit. That's really good shit. Number 12, Utah going to Utah state. Like, yeah, Utah should be a lot of people in that building who aren't completely. Exactly. If Utah is going to go on the road. to play somewhere where they can't stand Utah, I'm keeping an eye on it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, dude, the fucking Vanderbilt, Georgia State,
Starting point is 01:05:11 I will monitor that situation. Fannie's good, and they got a chance for a road win over a team that, like, has players, literally has players. Come on. Georgia at Kentucky, I've never felt, like, I like to be the optimist about, like, you never know until they kick, boy. But I cannot talk myself into like, here's how Kentucky, nope, just can't get there.
Starting point is 01:05:38 It feels like Kentucky is one of the teams that people most talk themselves into in this situation. Oh, they're squirly. It's me. And it's like, they're not that squarely. Not anymore. Not anymore. I think South Carolina, and South Carolina frequently has that identity, but I think South Carolina, just based on this past week, has taken that mantle for the season. Right.
Starting point is 01:05:59 I do have that game in the middle. I usually don't for a game with. spread of 75,000 points, but like, it's like, okay, this is probably, um, we'll get to see total Clemson erasure, but that's what Georgia did is like, oh, we'll get to see Georgia against the team with a pulse. Um, so that's something. Um, yeah, there's, it's also, again, because the, this schedule is kind of like flipped in a weird way. There's not like an alternative night game where it's like, oh, you should definitely, like Indiana at UCLA, sure. That's weird as hell. Let's, let's go watch Indiana play.
Starting point is 01:06:32 in the rolls. We know what everyone's going to watch. Colorado, Colorado State. They're going to watch your Colorado State Ram. Sure. In the game of the week on CBS. Good luck, coach. That makes you sound like when they're in trouble, they're my Colorado State Rams. Your shared. You're not here and parent, your Colorado State Rams.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Your shared custody, Colorado State Rams. I am sharing my Colorado State Rams with the world. That's what it is. We are ready for this moment. We are ready to take the stage. I have we have we have put in the work we do not have any songs about ourselves because uh because none of the guys can sing sorry damn we're too
Starting point is 01:07:12 too focused on not singing UCFTCU sure conference game yeah conference game yep I think that's right there is I need a Spencer left before we got to quiz among okay there is one on here and now fuck I forget which one it is there's one of these that's between two conference teams, but is not a conference game.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Oh, we got that going on again. I can't remember if it's, uh, I don't think it's Arizona case. Let's just decide. It's, um, it's a, oh yeah, it is. It is Arizona, Kansas State is a non-conference game that will not count against big 12 standings. That's amazing. Realignment is going super awesome.
Starting point is 01:07:56 You guys. So, so. Her interfere clarification, because this game was booked a while ago. Because like, yeah, because like when they signed this deal, they were like, okay, there's no way this will ever interfere with anything. Right, right, right. We didn't even talk about Alabama going to Wisconsin, which probably won't. That one just feels weird because it's like, that's some shit you do in like week one. I don't know why we're doing it at this point in the season.
Starting point is 01:08:20 It's fine. I'm not opposed to it. Sure. It's never a not nice time to be in Madison, but nice time to be in Madison. Sure. Yeah. Yeah. Um, and, and, and, and, and.
Starting point is 01:08:28 We get the Fox call. That's the big nude game, so... Big nude Wisconsin. They are still saying it like that, and I love that for them. Yeah, yeah, it's going to be pretty great. Do we have a CW game this week? Yes, it is... Ole Miss at Wake Forest on the CW!
Starting point is 01:08:47 That's a pretty big one. We also have the game that will be going on during a forecast after drag will be San Diego State, Cal. Who the hell knows, man? Not BYU at Wyoming. Interesting. Wyoming's having a rough time Okay I'm sorry you're right
Starting point is 01:09:03 You're right you're right It's not going to great so far for Wyoming Yeah but it's going okay for BYU you That was the ugliest fucking game They went against S of you who's now switching quarterbacks But that's fine I'd be more into it if it was going okay for both teams Yeah okay
Starting point is 01:09:20 Undefeated Cal is that what I'm hearing Yes that's uh StSU is not having the best time But you know it's still they're still breaking in some new things things there. It's 19 points spread, but like, it's not really Cal's thing 19 points. So expect ugly, I think. No. I thought so too before they played Auburn. There, listen, they're saving those points for Florida State. They can't play Auburn every, they can't play Auburn every week is my thing. Yeah, yeah, that really is too bad. If, if Cal has a win over Auburn and Florida
Starting point is 01:09:55 state, they should get an SEC invite. I'll just put it out there right now. Like, we should just, fuck it. Cal to the SEC. Yep. Why not? We need a shot of Antifa values down here. SEC is literally more accurate than ACC geographically. Yes. And then it sounds like an SEC name Berkeley. Berkeley? Berkeley, Cal. Cal. You get over here right now. Berkeley. Cal These are my sons Cal and Berkeley
Starting point is 01:10:28 And then to really twist And then to Cal Barry When we When we have to My daughter golden When we have to readjust the schedule
Starting point is 01:10:36 Because my son Medical grade Zootropics 26 teams in the SEC Cal Auburn becomes a permanent rivalry And Auburn's only Perth
Starting point is 01:10:45 Cal Auburn Thank you.
