Stugatz's weekend observations are gonna be in a moment,

but before we get into that, but before we get into that and before we get into what feels like a fairly giant basketball story, I heard advertised on Netflix the Paul Tyson fight in a way that called it a boxing mega event, the fight the world has been waiting for, and I think they also called it if not the biggest event in the world something very close to the biggest event in the world and While I want to argue because I hate that this is what boxing is as a spectacle I Cannot argue that I'm assuming that Netflix is gonna kill it with whatever it is that this fight is even though it's the silliest kind of circus novelty even though whatever it is that the size of the gloves and the headgear and the

rounds that it's not it's not really boxing in any way it's a 58 year old guy against an internet celebrity but I do think they're gonna sell out Jerry's world for that like is that possible think they're gonna sell out Jerry's World for that. Like, is that possible that they're gonna get 100,000 people there like you would for a genuine boxing match during the heavyweight age? Like, what kind of event is this gonna be? I would sound old if I said it's not possible,

so it's entirely possible, because it's possible. Like, Dan, I'm not gonna say it's not gonna happen, I actually think it's gonna happen. I think he'll sell that place out. Are we worried about Mike Tyson at all here or Dan Do you still think he's gonna knock Jake out? Like how are we feeling about what actually an underdog and I would not want a human being of any kind to fight Mike Tyson Like if I I would like Mike Tyson's chances quickly Against anybody, but I understand that he's a betting underdog and a lot

of people are worried for Mike Tyson in a way I'm not worried for Mike Tyson. I'm curious to see how it goes I think we'll all work ourselves up into being curious at that point and this is really accessible given the streamer that it's on but a lot of the wind got taken out of my sails for this one Tyson couldn't even make it through a camp without a health-related type of delay. So this is going to be a bit of a side joke. Well, a lot of a side joke. I feel like we're gonna know 30 seconds in

whether this is gonna be fun, sad, like just all fake. That 30 seconds is where I worry about Jake Paul's chances the most. I'm more curious about like 45 seconds. What? A full minute. A full minute of Mike Tyson trying to punch. You think he just goes for it, first minute,

like let's just do this? The odds are what the odds are for a reason. If Tyson does not immediately go right at Jake Paul punching as much and as hard as he can, then will not win that fight if Jake is going easy on him That's where the internet's gonna turn on both of them right like this is all just a scam Yeah What Dan is saying and Mike is saying if Jake gets it to the second round the fights over and I'm with them the way Tyson has fought his entire career if he doesn't prowl and come at jake paul even though jake paul

has the size advantage then you will know that i sent has no chance in that fight where is that betting number gone because i thought when that started that tyson would be the favorite even understanding that jake paul well not the top tier boxer is actually a legitimate fighter can make a career as a fighter, even though it would be a very low tier fighter. I have it right now, Paul is minus 250. So that number's climbed.

Draft King's minus 275 for Paul, plus 210 for Tyson. So over time, maybe because those numbers were closer the last time before the missed camp, but most people, Stugats, I said at the time that that fight was announced, I'm like, Jake Paul's an idiot. Roy knows what I'm talking about here. 58 or not, if you just watch Tyson train, nobody wants to take punches from the feet like that. But upper cuts that come, nobody wants Mike Tyson charging at them at 58 years old or at any age.

I'm looking at the lines right now on DraftKings Sportsbook. If you're going to take Tyson, there's only one way Tyson wins this match, right? There's only one way. It's by a knockout. First round. So instead of betting Mike Tyson a plus 210, because I don't think this one's going to score cards, take Mike Tyson by KO or TKO or DQ a plus 350.

You can take either of them just to win in the first or second round. Like if you're just like, this is not going to last long, however it ends, there's a good money on Jake Paul to win the first or second round. There's going to be an entire generation of people watching that fight, having no idea what Mike Tyson was. That is correct. It's going to be. Look, Mike Tyson fought against Roy Jones Jr.

many years ago, and that was also sad, like wildly sad. But this is gonna do numbers. Of that I have no dilution. I don't think it's gonna do like Brady Rose numbers. Like I don't think it's gonna get everyone watching this thing, I think it's gonna do well for a, like it's gonna do better than most boxing matches do, I agree with you on that.

I don't know how much Netflix gives out that information because they tend to be very careful about that information and they just speak in generalities. Like they'll tell you that the Brady Rose did better than any other comedy special, but they won't give you the specifics of the numbers. I'm assuming that this will be the biggest fight that Jake Paul has ever had

and will be a wild success for Netflix as a foray into live sports programming. By any definition, if the Brady roast was that, I believe that this will do Brady roast numbers. It'll do better than Brady roast numbers. They can fill an arena. You don't think this this will do better than the Brady roast. I just think boxing is more niche than like comedy this isn't boxing this is fame this is circus this is event nonsense but I think Jake Paul's numbers have gone down like you know he came out of the the the gates hot and I just I don't see outside of us right now I don't hear like Sports Center is not talking about I just don't know if this is

going to be you've just got two demos is all. You've got both demos. You got 18 to 34 and you got the people who want to see, wait a minute, I remember what Mike Tyson was. And Mike Tyson, if he's charging at you and you're in the corner, whoever on earth you are, you do not want any of that. 58 or not, like that's not something you think you can hit cleanly and hurt for 45 seconds. Is this something that like an ESPN would be rooting against because it's Netflix and

it's like another lane for live sports? So like ESPN might not cover this because it doesn't want it to succeed? I might be wrong about that. I'm just kind of thinking out loud. ESPN covers best the things that they have partnerships with and that tends to be pretty standard. They helped the NHL a great deal when they were partners with the NHL

and then it vanished from their network when they weren't partners with the NFL. I bet First Take will have them on like either this week or early next week as like a hype thing. Tyson Paul, I doubt it. I could see them being on first take. That's the only ESPN show I could picture covering it.

Because of Tyson though, right? Just cause Stephen A fancies himself a boxing guy. Yeah. This dude got more muscular. Mm-hmm. I have lost 10 pounds. Have you? Yeah, using my Peloton.

I've had the Peloton in my house. So my daughter, she wanted me to get a Peloton. I did, she used it a couple of times. Yeah, great endorsement. But once she left to college, and the Peloton was just sitting there in my office, and it wasn't being used, I said, you know what? I gotta use this, and I have lost 10 to 12 pounds, Billy.

So I started using Peloton as a bike, obviously. That's like what they're known for. But recently, I discovered all of the other classes that they have. They have like a series of weightlifting classes, they have programs, which for me the programs is great because I don't have to think about what I'm doing. If not, I just go and I pick a class at random

and I don't know that I'm actually accomplishing anything. I would like some recommendations on classes because I keep going to the same class. Okay. It's the Grateful Dead class, by the way. You do like a four week core program with Emma Lovewell. Right. I would recommend that one. Okay. Anyone can do that.

Any level starts out, you know, easy and then you work your way up and then there's like a core program two that you can do after core program one, if you Anyone can do that. Any level starts out easy and then you work your way up. And then there's like a core program two that you can do after a core program one if you wanna do that. Yeah, if you graduate. Wait a second. You have to graduate course one to get to course two, the harder course?

Well, you can start a course two if you want, but I eased my way in. I did course one first. Then you can do some strength classes with Andy. Love a strength class with Andy. He really puts me through it. I get up and I'm like a sweaty mess and I'm kind of disgusting and I love it. You know anything about Peloton Stugats? What? Peloton coaches they walk the walk. Really? Yeah. Did they talk the talk? They have sub three

hour marathon runner coaches, they have military trained athlete coaches, former college basketball player coaches, and so many other well-rounded coaches on their team. All this experience really shows in their classes. You're never short of challenging. You can do some resistance band classes. I got some resistance bands lately. You're my teacher. Am I? Yeah.

You know, no, I'm not. Well, I just go with the program so that I don't have to think, because I don't know. I don't actually know what I'm doing. Anyways, what's the Mr. Olympia, right? Is that what it's called? Yes. The one where you go and you're like lifting like shining boulders.

Yeah. Hey, we should talk to Magnus again. That's Mr. Olympia. Yeah. The one where you go and you're like lifting like Tony Atlas. Giant boulders. Yeah. Hey, we should talk to Magnus again. That's Mr. Olympia. Yeah. Yes. What did I say? Olympus.

Did I? I don't know. Anyways, find your push, find your power with Peloton at onepeloton.com. Don LeBretard. Let's go to 80. His name is Bo. His name is Bo?

Wow. I think Billy typed an eight instead of a B, fine. It's a clear as day by Chinali. Stugats. Number eight. It's Chris Corner on the line. It's easy. This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats.

Are you ready for weekend observations, StuGott? I am. All right. It is time for StuGott to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu.

What was that the word already? Was there an already was already a nation divided by allegiances is what I was trying to say. Hearts will be broken enough with all the polls. It's time for the people to decide and Dan just like that make no mistake about it. The college football playoff show is back. You excited? Yeah, we're going to find out the rankings according to the committee. I mean biggest

story of the day tomorrow. They're going to look over resumes. Yes, they're not going to right. It's going to be zero losses. One loss not going to, right? It's going to be zero losses, one loss is two loss, right? That's how they're going to do it the way we've always done it. Pick twelve teams. Yeah.

Speaking of back, Jamis Winston is back to being Jamis Winston. Saquon Barkley, best fourteen yard run in NFL history. Twelve-team playoff this year. Don't forget. Reminder. It it's 12th. Just letting you know tomorrow night's the biggest night in the history of this country. Yes, you mentioned that. Yes, in the history of this college football, this great college

football land. Syracuse with the rare, walk off fumble recovery. Shohei Otani, do it without Freddie Freeman Doug McDermott is a Sacramento King Shohei Otani do it as a pitcher Shohei Otani do it batting better than 100 Shohei Otani do it for the other Los Angeles team Dan You know what the S in Shohei Otani stands for? I don't. It stands for the sixth or seventh best player on his own team know what the O in Sho the postseason, six. In the postseason? No, not in the postseason. In the World Series. Freeman.

Not in the postseason. Mookie Betts. That's two. You weren't watching the NLCS. Kiki. You weren't watching the NLCS. Your Mets played in the NLCS. You weren't watching it?

Anyway. Aaron Judge making zero errors all year until dropping an easy pop-up in Game Five of the World Series. He was due. Aaron Judge, allow me to introduce you to Bill Buckner. Yankees choked. You hate to see it. And by hate to see it, I mean you absolutely love to see it.

Juan Soto says he doesn't have any doors closed and that he'll be available to all 30 teams. That had to be news to the athletics. How great was that right after the game? He did not waste any time. In the losing clubhouse, he's like, I'm open for business. Yeah. Any one of you teams who wants to offer me anything, I will take your hundreds of millions of dollars. I'm taking all meetings.

It was so good. But when he says that, he's available to all 30 teams. The A's don't believe him, right? They don't, no. You got him, Sturgatz. He should have said all 29 is what he should have said except for Oakland and the Marlins. 28 is what he

should have said. To all 28 teams. 28 real teams. Real major league teams. That would have been funny. Congratulations to the Dodgers. All it took was the largest payroll in franchise history and committing $1.4 billion in future salaries to five players

this past offseason. Taylor. It's a billion dollars, right? 1.4. The Padres were the second best team in baseball. They had them on the ropes. They did. What is happening to me? Freddy Freeman won the World Series MVP playing on one ankle and with a broken rib hockey player except for the teeth. Those are not hockey teeth. They wouldn't be in his mouth. You guys are great. They're good teeth.

Tip of the cap. To one Bob Costas. Wow. It's a good run. 42 years. It's a great run. Legendary run. How was Bob Lesbun? He's mad at Billy.

Why? He thought mad at Billy. Why? He thought Billy was disrespectful to his career. I think he said Billy doesn't know jack shit, I think is what he said. Interesting. He didn't mention me by name. Dan's pinning it on me, but that's fine. He's mad at Dan, really.

It's either you or Stu Gost. I said nothing but good things about Bob Costas. It can't be anyone else. I didn't say anything about him. be anyone else and say anything about him I just tip my cap to him What else am I so he said someone around here didn't know jack shit about his career, that's what he said Dodgers hosting the World Series parade on Fernando Valenzuela's birthday, Goosebumps, Dallas Cowboys, it's over.

Everything. It does feel like that. It does, right? Belichick? It is weird that McCarthy still has a job. I think we can agree on that. It's also weird that the Falcons and commanders got it right by not signing Belichick.

agree on that. It's also weird that the Falcons and commanders got it right by not signing Belichick. Belichick not having a job is one of the strangest uncovered stories in the sport. To go from you're the best, we all know you're the best, hey nobody wants you. Give it time. Ohio State and Penn State should have been played at night. CJ Stroud, sophomore slump. CJ Stroud leads the NFL. It's sacks that take you out of field goal range. It does happen to him a lot. It does. Geno Smith would like a word.

You're right. Apple picking, overrated. Steve Martin and Martin Short have looked the same for the last 30 years. How? It's true. How? It's true. They look great.

Yeah, they look exactly the same. For those keeping track at home, Mike Norvell should now spell his last name with eight L's. Omarion Hampton had five touchdowns against FSU. If you've seen one Penn State Ohio State game, you've seen them all. Joel Embiid got into an altercation with a reporter and pushed him a brotherly shove. Thank you. Death, taxes, and James Franklin losing that game. James Franklin versus Ryan Day in a big game.

Something had to give and it's usually James Franklin. Often is. Yep. Lincoln Riley fraud. the game. It's a game of quarterback that has ever lived him or Tom Brady. And yet you're losing to UCLA at home traveling across the country. It's a bad team. I don't know if that's traveling across the country. Now that I think about it.

You mentioned Lincoln Riley. They are 12 and 12 in their last 20 fraud. If you throw a flag, call penalty no picking it up slippery slope yep Some NFL GM is going to draft Carson Beck and I'm telling you right now Dan. He will get that GM fired Gunslinger. Dallas Cowboys, you had Dan Quinn in your building last year. Indiana, little good news, little bad news.

Good news, you are nine and oh. Bad news, your coach is leaving. They had their first deficit this weekend. They fell down 10-0, and then what they do, they won by 30. Indiana's gonna be a playoff team, correct? Yeah, yeah, that's the good news. But they're going to get in, right?

I mean, they're- They play Ohio State still. Yeah, but they can lose still. And still get in. Not when you're Indiana. When you're Indiana, you don't have the luxury. You have to be perfect. You fall hard, really.

A one-loss Indiana team might get in this year though. It's 12 teams, guys, reminder. Might. Do you think we thought it was four? We know. It's a little aggressive. It's a reminder. It's a little aggressive for this first year

playoff 12-team format. Because they have to beat Ohio State and then they have to win the Big Ten championship or they have two losses But you don't believe they're legitimately good as a team that keeps putting up 40 against everyone they're playing against. I think they're good I just think that they're not gonna skate into the college fool is a nice story, but Cinderella is about to be midnight I refuse to believe someone in the NFL is actually named Lad McConkey. Army took care of business.

Navy, it was fun while it lasted. And of course, we thank you for your service. Always. Duke was up by 11, midway through the third quarter and didn't cover a 21 point spread. Bad beat. Oh, was that bad? Pat Forty was gloating on Twitter. He was preening around. It was my lock of the week on the podcast. All 40.

How the hell was Miami a 20 point favorite? 2817. He was preening. Still roaming around. the offense in NFL history. It was a great time. Two and seven. Football. Two and seven Saint. Football. Weird sport. It is. It's odd. Congratulations to Daniel Jones for throwing his first touchdown pass at home in 672 days. Speaking of congratulations, congratulations to Jameis Winston for throwing his 100th career interception. I think he's done it faster than any quarterback in the history of the league.

Derrick Henry scored his 100th touchdown yesterday and Jameis Winston threw his 100th interception. I feel like we should have all stopped and had big ceremonies. Like confetti cannons and for both of those things. Don't look now, but Steve Kerr is actually coaching. Los Angeles Chargers flying under the radar. Injured Steph, no more Clay, and the Warriors are 5-1 with a point differential of 18 points

per game. How? How? Scoring 130 points per game. How? How? Scoring 130 points every game. I've never been more nervous watching someone perform the victory formation than I was watching Bryce Young. Wasn't sure he knew how to do it. I'm happy that Bryce Young doesn't have to lose all the time. Makes me happy. He's won four NBA championships as a head coach. And yet the first six games of this season

has been Steve Kerr's best coaching job of all time. Chris, why are you shaking your head? This is a ridiculous date, but I like it. I mean, five and one with that team. The most dominant team in the sport. Best job of his career, you say. Yes. I mean, you know how me coaches win with that team seven more seven though you push back on me there I think of a

seven coaches it's okay we don't have it keep it going just keep it going please Kevin Harlins uh oh it's it's an apostrophe s he's saying it's his it's Harlins uh oh Kevin Harlins he read oh Yeah, you got it right, Roy. You're correct. It was the greatest call in broadcasting history. There you go. If your team wins on a 61 yard field goal, guess what? You didn't lead your team on a game winning drive in my personal record book.

Oh wow. Sorry Josh Allen. StuGotsBook.com, buy it today. Jadavia and Clowney is a Carolina Panther. I saw that yesterday. Yeah, kept getting sacks late in that game. Shocking, right? Yeah.

I had to look up Clowney on the Panthers to make sure it was Judavian. Yeah. It was. When the announcer said, quote, this is Bryce Young's third career win. I was shocked. Seemed like too many. I'm happy that Bryce Young. I'm not trying to be mean to the kid.

Doesn't have to lose all the time. I don't, I disagree with that. What do you mean? You're trying to be mean to the kid. Three seemed like a lot at the time. Didn't you want the Jets to trade for him? I did. And I still did.

Well, Anthony Richardson, if you believe reports might be done in Indy. Why didn't the Colts use him in like short yardage situations last night? They should have. Terrible coaching. Should be fired. Who should be?

Whoever their coaches. Okay, good. Yeah, good work. Never has the microphone, radio slash podcast person calling for a firing had less weight behind it then Stu gots trying to have someone fired with no information not even the coaches name there's plenty of weight behind it though you've I'm not going to be either. You've devalued the fire the coach. You've devalued it by uttering it with my goal.

Yeah, it's what you have. You've succeeded. You have met your life goals of making the coaching firing as spoken by a media member less relevant than it's ever been. Thank you. The Eagles are six and two, while having only scored seven points in the first quarter of the entire season.

That's funny. That's crazy. They scored their first touchdown yesterday, first points of any kind in the first quarter yesterday. Football, weird sport. It is. It's good analysis. Thank you.

It's good analysis from God bless football. Sturgatz says weird sport and Billy's I trust nothing I trust nobody. I'm still like in the back of my head. I don't even Mondays are tough I'm still trying to figure out if I said in the end is playing the big ten or big twelve champions I don't remember what I said. I'm like did I get it wrong? Probably yeah Green Bay Packers do it with Jordan love Ram should have known Special teams were gonna be a factor.

Always is when you play a team coached by Pete Carroll. He's not. I was worried that Nick Sirianni was gonna get fired after that win. I would have fired him during the field goal attempt. In the history of the NFL No one and I mean no one Loves special teams more than Pete Carroll Name someone Mike West, huh? He does there's a second guy out there. He lived for special teams. He did.

Steve Tasker? I knew it. Stevensville ISD naming their new football stadium after Art Briles. Hell are you thinking? Hell are you doing? Speaking of hell, Art Briles, Dan, those are the weekend observations. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything.

I'm gonna turn off my mic. No Watch my lips. I'm gonna turn off my mic. No, I just And I want you guys to tell me I'm saying fight you yeah, yeah or failure, okay? Yeah, yeah still gods Why are your ideas always so Just for the audio. Here we go, do it again. No. Fight you. Fight you. That was fight, yeah.

All right, maybe you can't tell. Oh my God! We got to the bottom of it! This is the Don LeBattar Show with the Stugats. Let's talk for a second about that Ohio State-Penn State game because Stugats. It's not just that Ohio State has beaten Penn State the last eight times they played. It's not just that Ohio State has won that game 14 of the

last 16 times. It's that Penn State got a pick six and was inside the Ohio State five yard line twice without getting points. And if that last gold line stand was not, here's James Franklin, James Franklin, here's Penn State, Penn Statonet, Ohio State then running the ball 11 straight times to extinguish your undefeated season when you know they're gonna run the ball. It's not, like in terms of where it is that these teams

and these programs talk about toughness, Stugats, I don't know that beating an opponent can feel better than doing it that way in their house at the end, where it's like goal line stand, you can't get a couple of yards on four downs, you can't get a couple of yards on four downs. You can't get a couple of yards. And then furthermore, we're gonna run the ball 11 straight times to finish this football game.

You know we're gonna run the ball. We're gonna use up all your timeouts and you're not gonna be able to do anything about it. Your crowd is just going to sit there and watch you be Penn State again. It has to be a great feeling to do something. Everyone knows you're going to do it. The opposing team knows you're going to do it and yet you still do it because that's exactly what

happened yesterday and you're right. No Dan that has to feel great. It's not just that part though. That part's one part of it because yes it feels great to no-look pass for Cooper Cup in the Super Bowl when Cooper Cups your only receiver and everyone's trying to defend Cooper Cup but in that sport to do it physically yes to do that way it's it's not just that they know what's coming and cannot stop it it's that on both sides of the ball offensively and defensively as you're in your home stadium with everyone rooting for Penn State season to this time be different. No it's not.

Here is Ohio State being more physical than you on both sides of the ball in a way that is a physical manhandling and then has at the end of the game James Franklin yelling at his own fans to say their names so that he can get mad at them because he's been great Stugats for Penn State, but he cannot win this game. This is not a foot. He never wins this game He never wins this game. You're talking about imposing your will on another team Yes, like that's it's a bad way for James Franklin to lose this particular I'm what I'm saying though is where it is that this Franklin to lose this particular game? What I'm saying though is where it is that this dominance

resides on the people who have run college football over the last five years. Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State. Like Michigan will sneak in there. But in terms of what's been the top of the sport for the last five to eight years, it can't ever be Penn State because they can't get past this team. They don't have an ability, not at home, not on the road, not with James Franklin as their coach, not run with a

running quarterback, not with the handing the ball off. This is supposed to be the most physical Penn State team. Oh look what happens at the end, not quite physical enough. It can't be Penn State because they Oh, look what happens at the end. Not quite physical enough. It can't be Penn State because they can't get past Ohio State. It can't be Ohio State because they can't get past Michigan. It's crazy, man. Michigan snuck in there also not being able to beat Ohio State. Yes. Michigan snuck in and won a championship. But the best team for a while. Man, Ryan Day's

done an awful lot of winning and still feels pressure cooker heat because hasn't won the championship from the alabama's in the georgia's in a way that will solidify him forever i hear him talk after games it feels more like relief than it is joy but i think that's what it is at ohio state for ryan day he's sixty three and nine as a head coach Dan and people still want him to be fired. He's 63 and 9 He makes the playoff all the time and yet after every game what you're hearing is exactly that you're right Because I sense it too. It's relief. It's not hey happy. We won. It's relief We didn't lose, but when he is saying after that game That's as good a locker room as I've ever felt after a game.

The reason for that is how it ended. You went into that place and physicaled a team that thought that they were on your level and they're not. And the difference in that game, you gotta pick six to got your defense played good enough to win that football game. But at the end on the road when you've got your home fans hoping this is the year it's gonna be

different they just run the ball 11 times and squeeze everything out of your undefeated season Lucy was there Lucy was ready to celebrate with Penn State fans. Lucy failed to deliver a home victory. We got up at six. Strike one beer. Two beers. Three beers. Four beers. A shooter. Some liquor. Some champagne. Mimosas. Can I get a hell yeah? Hell yeah! We are Penn Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah!

Look at this stadium, it's gorgeous, it's beautiful. It's quite cold and we got here really early to do a good job. None of the tailgates have started. So everything's going really good. This man has no shirt on, it's like 45 degrees out.

I'm sweating, I promise you I'm sweating. How would you guys describe Ohio State fans? Um, sh**ty, ugly, rude, smelly, go back to Ohio, why are you here? Man wagons. I hate them. They don't have the spirit, they don't have the heart or the drive, they don't have anything that us Penn State fans have.

I lived in the state of Ohio this summer. It is a trash state. So outside of Ohio State, what is the worst fan base that you have dealt with? Celtics. Okay, that wasn't the sport we were looking for, but I like the answer. You want football? Michigan. Michigan. That's a good school up north.

Michigan fans? Michigan, yeah. How do you rationalize? You're like, oh yeah, we are proud of a national title that we cheated for. Come on, have some class. You know, Ohio State Ohio State Michigan no good and the Celtics and the Celtics I don't like the Celtics either I want to say to Will Howard you're gonna need a whole bag of s*** Will Howard!

Come on! Yeah f*** you Will Howard! Let's go! The best student section in the country Who said that though there's no attribution to the quote So Penn State fans are actually boycotting Big Noon kickoff today. There's college game day here and Big Noon. We watched by Big Noon with like an hour until the show started. There were two rows of people like it was empty.

They were literally having people be like you could win $5,000 if you go to Big Noon like please like begging people to come into the show because the fans are so so mad. This top five matchup is happening at noon, so they're fighting the power, and I honestly love it. Good for you college football fans. You're in charge. How do you guys feel about this game always being at noon?

It's trash. Fox can go f*** itself. Noon kickoff, biggest joke ever. It just takes a lot of the energy out of the game. We're still gonna show up, it's gonna be raucous. Big games belong at night. Okay, this should be the White House. Really?

When was the last time we were playing Ohio State with this much, with this many stakes? Come on. Let's get a night game here. Yeah, night game! This is very uncomfortable. I can't believe they make punters wear this. Ahhhhh! Have you guys ever heard of the Dan Levatard show? No, but I'm very happy to be here. Yes. What if I of the Dan Leventhal show? No but

I'm very happy to be here. Yes. What if I told you that's not the show we're on? What is this show? I lied it is the show that we're on. Dan Leventhal and I love you dude. Keep sending Lucy to all the big games getting the primetime interviews that's what it's all about. Go Penn State! We are Penn State! Thank you, you're welcome. If Ohio State loses this game today, are we putting Ryan Day on the hot seat? Ryan Day's already on the hot seat. You can't lose three to that sh** full up north. We are Penn State! We are Penn State! Now I've been a Big Ten fan for all of my life, and I can tell you that was the most Penn State Ohio State game of every Penn State Ohio State game possible.

There was never really the question of whether Penn State wins or loses, but rather how would they lose? Not scoring on an offensive touchdown, not good. Getting in the red zone late in the fourth quarter with the chance to tie and having the worst play call you've ever seen and not scoring at all, not good. Having a chance going to halftime with the chance to tie and having the worst play call you've ever seen and not scoring at all. Not good. Having a chance going halftime with the lead and throwing a pick right into the back of the end zone, which everyone thought was a touchdown. Not good. Overall, I would say the vibes not good,

but here in Happy Valley, the fans agree. The stadium is awesome. The tailgating was really good and you deserve better than James Franklin. If Penn State loses today, I hate to bring it up, what does that... No, stop. I have to ask you a question! What does that say about James Franklin? No, no. That's an irrelevant question. I think he's a fun guy, he's a cool personality, I like the bald head, I like his goofy little run that he has. I'm a big pro James Franklin guy. It's like a three-point game and the ref screw us over like always

Then you know, it's okay when we'll get him next year. It's been eight fucking years This guy should be on TV. He's great. Do you know Penn State football? I do know. Have you watched us? I have. We're amazing. What time is it? It's game time. This trip to unhappy Valley was brought to you by Game Time. Download the Game Time app, use code Lucy, and get $20 off your first order. Terms apply. Ohio State fans, you might need that

for the Big Ten Championship game. Penn State, I bet you could buy some sick wrestling tickets. The James Franklin-Penn State thing has always been curious to me because I feel like he does a good job there. He generally avoids losing the dumb ones. And yeah, he loses against top five teams, but how many of those is he entering as a favorite? I'm genuinely asking. They're right where they should be. I understand why Ohio State fans are always frustrated with Ryan Day. I get

that one a little bit more. He'd make an argument that's the best job in the country, given resources, given location, talent rich, a recruiting base, huge alumni base, great students, but Penn State, you're right where you need to be. You don't have a divine right to being in the CFP conversation. In fact, they changed the rules so your brand can just keep doing what it's been doing,

which is be good, not quite good enough enough that's kind of Penn State football and James Franklin I get being frustrated that James Franklin delivers on that expectation because you don't occasionally luck in know where's the big signature win where we all think that the the monkey is off our back but Penn State is just doing fine that should be fine He is one in ten against Ohio State. He is one in 13 when facing top five teams. That's not fun Penn State has a different standard Mike, you know, let me tell you what he is. It's hard to be top five teams I get it, but I'll tell you what he is. He's Mike Gundy

He'll get you nine wins and he's going to be the third best in a conference that only has two good teams. Only two good teams nationally regarded, he'll always bring you third best, and he's got a $56 million buyout, and he's making $8 million a year. He's brought there not just to resuscitate that after the worst sports scandal that we have seen,

but he was also supposed to take a leap he can't take, because he can't beat any of those top five teams. For a big program it's hard to recruit at that level against the other elite schools. I think he's doing fine. Howdy loyal audience it's Mike Ryan and we're getting down to the nitty-gritty of football season which means you've probably enjoyed more than a few tailgates and right by your side at that tailgate is that beautiful white can of Miller Lite.
