UGA versus Bivo, one of the most infamous mascot battles, has a sequel, this weekend, Georgia versus Texas. It's the Will Kane show normally streaming live every Monday through Thursday at 12 o'clock Eastern time. news.com, the Fox News YouTube channel on the Fox News Facebook page. This is the Friday cane on sports edition, available, of course, if you subscribe on Apple or on Spotify. This is the big one. This is the one we've been waiting on. Texas, Georgia.

And what many think could be a preview of a national title game, the University of Texas Longhorns host the Georgia Bulldogs Saturday night. This is a moment of truth. Although I think there have been several moments of truth, and we've been very much. reluctant to believe that Texas is back. There have been several moments for us to understand and believe, in fact, Texas is back, making the college football playoff last year, taking Washington to the wire, beating Alabama, almost beating Alabama the year before.

Texas has won big games, including last weekend, blowing out Oklahoma. So I'm not sure what test this reveals, pass, fail for Texas and Georgia this weekend, but I think it will be beyond reproach. there's still those that say Texas is soft or who is Texas played well the answer is defending national champion Michigan the answer is blown out Mississippi State a team that's given others trouble in the SEC but this is unassailable this is beyond a brook you beat Georgia nobody can say anything and I legitimately think that Texas is better than the Bulldogs it is a sequel for UGA versus Bivo you remember the last time Georgia and Texas met in the Sugar Bowl, he learned who's boss. I mean, a 1,500 pound steer. That's whose boss, a longhorn versus a cute little bulldog.

Bivo had to put Uggah in his place. I don't know if Bivo is the scariest mascot out there, you know. Ralphie at Colorado is, I mean, legitimately more intimidating. I've been around buffaloes. They're wild animals. A steer is a domesticated animal, and there is a different. Bailer has a bear, a bear cub, but I read a story that he once, I can't remember what school was.

He once swiped the dog so they don't put bear cubs on the field anymore. I read that SMU's mascot, a Mustang, once killed another mascot. I'm not sure who that was, and I guess it would be with a rear kick, and they make sure nobody walks behind the SMU mascot. There's been tragic insiniscences involving Texas Tech's mascot, where the masked rider, one of the masked riders got killed after the horse ran out of control around the stadium. Army's got its mules, and that's way up there, because honestly, mules are just cool. They're just awesome, but the most intimidating would absolutely be somebody like LSU.

I mean, you've got a tiger. You got a tiger. But there's nothing cooler. There's nothing cooler. Not even the army mules. There's nothing cooler than Bivo. There's nothing cooler than a longhorn. So good luck, uh-huh.

on the sideline and good luck georgia because i do think texas is the better team i do think texas beats georgia this weekend and i do think it's a unassailable while the cowboys give me shame and you can take your shots you're going to get to take no more shots at the texas longhorns coming up today on the canaan sports edition we have billy football from barstool sports you remember billy now went in polite company going by bill cotter he ran for congress from Long Island, New York District, lost the primary, kicked out of the ballot. Said he didn't have legit signatures,

so no longer running for office. But talking about football, back to being Billy Football. He's our guest today on Canaan Sports. Here is Barstall's Bill Carter, formerly known as Billy Football. Is this a name that you've retired? Have you graduated from Billy to Bill? You know, that's a great question. I think what I'm talking about football or I'm involved in a football setting,

I'll go with Billy Football. But, you know, Bill Cotter sort of introduced that one during the campaign. So we can just use either or, depending on the subject matter. What were you growing up? Like, you're obviously a William. By the way, I'm not a William. I'm a Williams. My name is actually my mother's made name.

So it's the last name, Williams. which I've always gone by Will my entire life. But what did you go by? Were you ever Will you always Billy? So I honestly, what kind of happened was is I was William growing up when I was a kid and my mom called me William to this day and it's very funny.

Then I was W, which was like my dad's nickname for me. And then I was Will when I got to sort of like middle school because I was, you know, it was just quick and easy. I honestly was called by my last name for most of my life because there's so many Williams. And then, yeah, so like pretty much middle school, I was William and then Cotter because there was too many Williams. And then sort of I just told people to start calling me Will like, you know, when you're like my first name. We're like, I don't know, pretty much all the dudes would call me Cotter or Will when they want to catch my attention.

And then I became Billy when I, you know, I wanted to have a name. that wasn't my real name connected with like Barstool and I became an intern because you know I didn't know back then if I'd do it full time and kind of wanted to keep the real name in the back pocket just in case I was applying for you know real jobs and I was like screw it you know I'll be bill to my friends when I want to be taken a little more serious it's like a weird thing you can't be William for your whole life like that's sort of almost pretentious to a point. you know no you don't you don't meet many williams to your point of pretension unless they're royalty uh i know a few guys i can i can come up with a few that stick with william but not many i was always will like i didn't have a choice i always just will and if i'm ranking them and you've been all over the map by the way and i can't believe how many time if you've switched i did go through my college and even more so in law school where it was just cane everybody just calls you by your last name but if i'm ranking them on like

cool factor like i think i i mean will is number number two like will's the second best on these on these variations of william i think number one's billy i mean i think billy's awesome like billy is billy the kid billy's got a little edge to billy you don't know billy doesn't have edge i don't think billy's the guy that gets in a fight at the bar billy doesn't have a bad side but billy has a mischievous side like you got to be careful with billy he's got he's He doesn't have an angry bad side, but he has an unpredictable fun, good side. Yeah. Now, there's that edge, but it's also in a professional setting, can Billy get it done?

You know, and that was like, can he be taken seriously? It sounds a little too much like silly. So that's where, you know, that's the edge. Well, can any of the I.E. or Y names pull it off in the adult or So my son's name is, my name is Charles Williams-Kane. And so like my dad, my granddad, Charles just is sort of the familial name. So my son is Charles, but he goes by it. But he's Charlie.

He's never been Charles. He's always Charlie. By the way, I think Charlie is in the same vein as Billy. Like most Charlie's I've met are a good time and a little unpredictable. But I think you can keep Charlie. Like, I think you can roll with Charlie all throughout a professional career. I agree with you. Billy's a little more playful and childlike.

I mean, are you going to ever put him in a Chuck situation? Because that's an option. The only Charles Barkley can pull off Chuck, right? Come on. Chuck Woolry, he pulls it off too. So I don't think Chuck had, but what do you think about the IE or Y last name?

By the way, do you think there's a difference between the Y and the IE? Like, are IEs for girls? because it is Charlie with IE but that's how guys do that one's reverse like Billy with a Y as a dude Billy with an IE as a girl reverse on Charlie

IE is a dude Y as a girl Exactly No definitely So Tommy Yeah Tommy Can you roll Tommy all throughout your professional life I think you can roll Tommy

No Tom you got to be Tom Tommy with a Y is a boy Tommy with an IE as a girl. I think Charlie is the only exception to that. Might be. But you think you have to become Tom. Like when it's time to, when you get the president job, the president of the company,

or you're seeking for promotion, you can't go in there as Tommy. You've got to be Tom. I mean, what do you want to be addressed by in a courtroom? Do you know that that's the big thing? And you know something about that, right? now calling him to the stand for his his ballot uh signatures let me bring to the the witness box billy cotter no bill caught i'm going to believe bill cotter billy codder would have forged some signatures bill codder didn't forge anything bill you know how does bill get to congress how does a bill

get to Congress you know that works but yeah that was wild i've honestly just i've almost like forgotten about that whole thing and then i saw the two guys do a debate for the congressional district and i was like if i was in this thing i'd mop the floor with these guys i was like watching two teams in a championship game like i guess you know we've been in media we are very comfortable presenting thinking on our feet and i'm just looking at these two guys and i was like i this would have been you know round one if i was in this but you know you just think about those things but it's way out there i wish the best for both of them i just want whoever gets in to leave the district correctly but getting hit with 3,000 counts of fraud in a civil court

where you have to prove each signature is diabolical it's so they did that talk okay that That's how they got RFK. And, I mean, it just shows there's a problem. But, you know, I just know, I stick to sports for now. I try to. But this election season is heating up. Are you done with politics? I don't know.

There's nothing I can do right now. But, hey, I might catch a few write-ins. I'll check on that in November. Let's walk the line between sports and politics. Let's actually go to baseball. I got in a debate with the producers here of the Will Kane show. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York City, wore a dual Yankees' Mets hat. Now, Billy, I'm a big believer in sports.

It's not a crime. I'm a big believer in sports monogamy. I totally believe in it. Like, I don't think you get, I'm a big monogamist. I am. No bigamy, no polygamy. I'm a monogamous. And I don't think you get choices.

I have a whole theory. born to it, right? And so I'm from the Dallas area, and I'm faithful, all four major sports. I'm faithful. Um, my boys, my sons were born in New York and lived there for the first half of their childhood. I brainwashed them. So they're Dallas through and through. And I think you get a, you get an asterisk, you know, if your dad brainwashes you, that you're allowed to root for your dad's teams if it feels like, you know, that's who you're supposed to be. You're not supposed to be a New Yorker. but if you're the mayor of new york and there's only two baseball teams i think he can do this he's supposed to represent the entirety of the city you know the only the only understandable

point there is the contention between boroughs because i think that's unique to new york because if you're favoring you know say the yankees that's manhattons and bronx bias if you're you know favoring the Mets that's queen's Brooklyn so there there is a point of contention when it comes to policy that could be applied there but it's actually a great hat but as a Yankee fan I just can't stand MET fans so you know I really hope it's a subway series just because it'd be amazing to be in the city for it because the last one I don't remember it was in my lifetime but I think I was literally one years old less than but I'd love to see it just just to see baseball heat up because you know the Yankees red Sox rivalry

hasn't been as hot it's always been hot but like I remember back when I was like I was a much bigger baseball fan when I was in like late 2000s early 2010s go to all the games I had more time and like that's when it was like really hot but as of late I haven't really seen it but the Mets Yankees rivalry has gotten way more heat in the past couple years because no one's really gotten anything done. So we've had to fight it out for New York. That's a very gen Z view of Yankees Mets. I think most Yankees fans little brother the Mets to the extent of like you don't even, you're not even worthy of our attention, much less our anger. And that's all directed at Boston. But to hear you say, no, I hate Mets fans. I don't know. I think that.

maybe gen z it is it's absolutely like the narratives of a lot of sports teams have changed like like you know boston fans were always told to me growing up like uh 19 18 have one shit like fuck them and now i'm like wait a second what the hell that's what this was supposed to be and just seeing the past 20 years i mean the the curse of the bam bino was what was taught to me and like the narrative has changed it's a new age yeah All right, we're going to break some news here today on the Wilcane show. Billy Football has some inside information of what I've been led to believe from the University of Minnesota regarding the coaching career of governor and vice presidential candidate, Tim Walts. So it's from the state of Minnesota, but I was with a guy who played for him over the past weekend.

And he told me, and he went to his high school and he either was. played with guys he was either four years in the realm of when tim waltz was coach and apparently the guy had too many DUIs to be the head coach of the football team so that's why he could never be a head coach and technically yeah he could also never be an actual employee he could only be a volunteer for the team because of his past DUI history which i don't know i don't know the quantity yeah right yeah we got to be careful with the hearsay, but I'll tell you what's not the alleged quantity of DUIs, but he definitely has had them. I mean, that's part of the whole, is he telling the truth about

his record on his past on a whole host of things. But like, you know, he was definitely arrested. He was definitely taken in. And it definitely did hurt his coaching career. I think it's why he left Nebraska and went to Minnesota. My thing is, how about this? If you're, Is there a limit depending upon the hierarchy of your coaching title when you stop being coach? Like, okay, you're a high school head football coach. You're coach for life, right? If you're offensive or defensive coordinator, you probably get to run around of people still calling you coach. But like, if you're a high school position coach, are you always coach?

I don't know. Like, we got to retire it. You've got to have something else in life. So I've actually been on an email chain with one of my high school assistant coaches who it's just him basically being like, why haven't you come back for a game like in a long time? You're big timing us and he just like keeps emailing me this. I've been back for a couple games. But just, you know, more closer to when I was in high school. And he's like, you got to come back.

You got to come back. I'm busy nowadays. There's like weddings. you know i you know i'm now like a couple years out of college so it's it's like you know do i go to my college games high school games to like see the guys and uh yeah so i still call him coach he was a wide receiver coach um but he was the man so it depends on where did you play long you're the team where did you play college football uh i played quarterback in high school I came in as a quarterback to college, D3,

Nescac football, Williams College in Massachusetts, and then I just started playing a little bit of sort of flex, wide, tight end, didn't get much playing time, a little bit. I got the name out of high school. If I lined up the bar stool personalities who are not former professional athletes, and I asked,

who's the best. best. I'm going to leave it generic at first with athlete, but I didn't realize this. I just saw this recently. Caleb Presley. He was a college football player. I didn't realize that. And he was a quarterback, right? Who's the better quarterback? You or Caleb? So there's three former college quarterbacks at the company. There's Captain Collins who played at Army. there's Caleb he played it unc i've watched calab's highlight tape he's very fleet of foot um he could sling it uh my game was more bo wallace on the old miss if i described by high school tape uh just a lot of quarterback power uh get i could throw it far back in the day i've lost it six

playing like tight end um but i i'd probably say Caleb just because he played higher level football in high school and but you know we will maybe have a quarterback challenge one day cons you don't you don't have to throw the oh but you don't have to throw the baller army like do they even throw i mean so i remember the the army recruiter walked into my high school to to recruit you know based out of new york we're less than an hour away you walked into our high school and you know basically all the guys who coach sent to like meet with him he looks at me and he's like oh you're the quarterback you're way too tall like sorry man and i was just like that makes that too tall too tall to get in the mesh

too tall to get in the mesh of handing the ball off like he just looked at me he's like no offense man like i haven't even looked at your tape you're too tall like i was like wow okay okay that makes sense? Yeah. I mean, I have another question about Barstool. So it's interesting, and I'm not trying to be serious. This is actually just curiosity. You guys, it's interesting how you guys have, you, you flirt. I wouldn't say you go all the way, either you did, you ran for office as a Republican, but you flirt with like political topics, you know, busting with the boys had on Donald Trump. here's two questions for you is there ever any internal like problem i mean i know how dave runs a company and there's not going to be any problem that lasts for very long but like i i would

guess billy and i know i don't want to i know guys who probably you know ringer other places and the answer is definitely yes like i'm not going to be a guest on mini podcast at some sports networks because hey it's will he works at fox and i'm throw all the words you want all right you know just name whatever insult they want to throw and that's enough internally to make it not happen is that ever an issue at barstool i am you know i'm never in those conversations internally so if there's like a we can never do this i you know am much lower on the totem pole conversations. And I just speak for myself. So. Well, okay, but here's one. Then you can, this is my other curiosity. You can do this directly. I'm not going to put you in a bad position because I mean

this out of curiosity, not like, let me get you. I've worked at CNN. I've worked at ESPN and I've worked at Fox. It's obviously somewhat different at Fox. But what about the hallways? Like, is there any interpersonal tension with people that have different politics than you? Like, I mean, I've said this man, I almost had it out with Don Lemon. CNN like in the hallways uh ESPN was more cordial but like like you know it was kind of a little undercurrent sometimes with some personal relationships is it do you have that at barstool because it's more comedic a lot of people will make jokes that are funny and as long as it's funny it's like no one cares but it's like right it's more just talking about politics

from the aspect of humor and and that's right what's funny. yeah so like no one's arguing about it they're more likely if they're talking about it to be like that's ridiculous like that is ridiculous if it's on the other side you know like right you know our dog that's good that's healthy that's healthy uh i also think that the hardest thing about that in my experience is for a lot of guys on the left to laugh at themselves or laugh at the situation increasingly it's gotten that way so it's good. And I know you have guys on the left there.

That's great. That's fine. I don't think you have to have a political litmus test, but that they can still laugh and not see everyone that disagrees with them as an existential threat to the country is a good thing, you know, for the halls of Barstool.

No, yeah. I mean, I... All right, man. Go ahead. I mean, those conversations, like, no one's having it out and getting angry about it, you know. But maybe that's just what I've seen.

Good. good all right um i'll let you off of this this conversation of the gossip behind the scenes at barstall and we'll talk some sports um let's let's stick with baseball um yankees um yankees guardians met's dodgers so um the producers here everybody wants to talk about this the guys on my show like the the umps the calls the moving strike zone do we need to go to a rope do we need to go to a robo ump i don't want a robo ump i think like human air is a great part of the game but i also think that you need to have some consistency like an ump just needs to make his strike zone consistent even if it's off just be consistent i don't want robots i the only way i'd want a robot

is if the umpire was an actual like robo humanoid so like i want the robot to be behind home plate looking like almost cletus the fox the fox football robot it's the umps got to look like a super transformer like umpire that's the only way i'm cool with it if it's like we're just looking at all the video angles of it being a strike box that i think is BS that's too good we want robot ump one guy that like you know ump managers don't want to get in the face of because it's like How powerful is this thing? The ump has got to have bravitas, and it's got to be scary, and it's got to be, that's the type of robo-ump I'd be down with.

Anything else is BS. If it's like VAR, get it out of here, I want a straight up Tesla. Tesla make a creepy-ass giant robot that, like, would choke slam someone who, like, tried to contest its calls. And then I think everyone would be cool with it.

You saw the video that went around the other day with somebody talking to a robot, and he's not like Cletus. He's not like jacked in nine feet tall. But I just, like, what would be the point? So a manager goes out and you argue with the robot. What's the point? like you're not going to win he's he's you can't influence him for his future calls it'd really be disheartening no no no but the i i i would take on all that it would be hilarious

like the ai processing insults like it i'm telling you it would bring way more viewership to baseball screw the pitch count so you're for it yep you're for it as long as it has this entertainment angle cletus intimidating managers behind the plate. Exactly. I mean, it's crazy, but I tell you, it worked. ESPN, Billy, came out. I don't know how, I know that everybody's focused on baseball and football.

I seem to be, I always like preseason talk as much as I like midseason talk. They came out with their list of top NBA players. I don't know if you saw this, but their top 10 NBA players they published today. top five goes like this one yokic two luka three yonis i'm trying to remember four and five oh four shay gildes alexander and imbid was out lebron was out who was five five might have been stepf curry i can't remember what do you think unpatriotic whoever that writer is Because your top three players aren't American? Yeah, I think, look, I mean, go out into the parking lot

and look at what that guy is driving, and it's probably a foreign car. So I'm just saying. Who, Nicola? Nicola's like a Volkswagen. Like, that guy's ride. That guy's in a Volkswagen, Beetle or some shit driving to, sorry, I don't know if you're driving to work. But, yeah, honestly, I think the American players, we showed in the Olympics.

they mop the floor with everybody, there's definitely some guys who can get a bucket. I mean, honestly, you just need to take it to clutch games. I don't know the specific statistics on those guys. I know they're very good players, but, you know, there's definitely an American that tops them in just how they play and how they can, you know, get a bucket. I'm blanking on his name, Anthony Edwards. I think he should be up there. I know the stats might not back it up, but he's a guy who can win games.

and bring a team together. He came in 10th, and he does have fourth quarter scoring problems. He's like Michael Jordan for the first three quarters, and then he's Anthony Edwards in the fourth quarter. I think you got Yokic pinned wrong. There's no way Yokic drives a Volkswagen. Now, I'm not telling you it's American. He drives a Hummer.

He's driving something that you would have if everything descended into civil war. Because I think, you know, he's ready for that. He knows that that can happen. You know, Yokic, Yonich, now Yonis, he's way too tall for a Volkswagen, but Yonis could be a Volkswagen guy. Luke is probably like a Tesla guy. That's probably what I could see there.

But I don't know that you got any guys that are driving F-150s. No, I'm saying the guy who wrote that list, he's driving a foreign vehicle in the party. working a lot at ESPN. That's what I'm saying. He's driving a foreign vehicle and I can tell just by the list he made. You would take Anthony Edwards over the Joker. No, I would put him in that top five and it's probably debatable. The Joker is insane. Like the Joker, he doesn't even like playing basketball. Imagine if he liked how good much better he would be if he liked playing basketball i mean he's just mad he's just too big to be good at the sport he truly loves which is

horse riding uh horse uh chariot riding which is nuts because you know probably way back in the day like roman chariot riders like yokech would have probably been pretty good back then when they could also like fight absolutely i can see yokitch on the floor of the coliseum absolutely they've just brought in they bill him as like you know the giant from what is he serbian the giant from serbia they brought him in from the edges of the roman empire to fight lions yes i could see him on the floor the callus him on a chariot with his horses with a giant sword just going around like that is what he truly is supposed to be doing not playing basketball like and he hates basketball. That's what he really wants to be doing. And the closest thing he can do to it is the

the pull cart races that he's obsessed with. You're getting dangerously close. I saw a little clip from your new politics podcast with Tommy Smokes and a few other guys over there at barstool where somebody said one of their biggest pet peeves, an automatic turnoff is any dude that says I was born in the wrong time. You're getting dangerly close with Yokic right here, born in the wrong time. He should have been born in 100 AD. Check out audio crack. Crack is spelled like the Irish crack, just like good vibes. It's a great show. Subscribe to the YouTube, please, if you can. We're trying to grow it. But it's not all politics. It's sports politics. It's everything. It's just good vibes and good banter. Great topics. But, you know, born in the wrong

era, I think if you're talking about historical times, it's fine. If you're like, I wish I was born in the 70s, like, get out. Like, like, if you wish you were like a teen, like in the 20s in the 70s or like in the 50s, like, you can like, that's a guy who just needs to go shop at thrift stores and like smoke cigarettes. Like, that's, that's their vibe. So, but you're saying, well, I got to admit, I've flirted with being that guy. Well, I got to admit, I've flirted with being that I'll tell you two things. I love history. So I've flirted with, man, I wish I was an adventurer on a boat in the 1700s,

you know, the age of exploration, or I wish I was in the Wild West in the 1800s. But I've read too much now. That's awful life. It was really awful. I mean, odds are you get scurvy, your teeth fall out. It's not good. It's real bad. And then, so I flirted with being the other guy being, like the 70s actually seems like

a really great decade. Like, I think, I've said before. that's that's the right music country rock and otherwise that's when you know you got away with stuff in the 70s everybody was a little freer you know you might have to wait in line for gas but you know it's just more fun but the thing is you can do all the things that the 70s had now you just got to do it you know like what's one thing that you could do then that you can do now. Well, you can do it, yes.

But can you get away with it now? It's harder to get away with stuff. That's my point. Somebody's going to put it up with a cell phone video and you're done. Reputation, over. But what's that movie Footloose where they play chicken with tractors and stuff? Like, that's the sort of stuff that I feel like, you know, you can definitely still do. private property

it's anyway 80s that's Iowa that's Iowa in the 1980s all right well maybe I'm that guy all right

every week I do will versus the experts I'm generally beating the experts I lost last week to Ian Miller from outkick.com I got Billy football now from Barstool

I'm going to pick five games that I care about watching that I think everybody cares about watching you and I are going to pick the games I'll give you the line okay Billy

You tell me who you were going to take. I'll tell you who I'm going to take. We'll see who's better by. It should be Sunday. I don't think I care about the game on Monday. Is this just pros? I don't feel good. No, no.

I got two college games in. Two college, three pro. And I don't like pro football picking them. It's like, it's Russian roulette. This college is much easier to pick. But I'm going to save college football because they're the best two games of the weekend. So we'll start in pro. Houston Texans at Green Bay.

Packers. Packers giving up two and a half, Billy. I'm going to go with Houston. CJ Stroud has been amazing. I think he definitely covers that game. I'm definitely going with the Packers. Only two and a half at home. And Jordan and Jordan loves looking good now. And Green Bay can run the ball. So I'm going to go with the Packers. lions going to Minnesota

Minnesota is favored by one and a half I'm going Lions absolutely I know but I think we could be prisoners of the moment here because they smoked the Cowboys and that could just be how bad that could just be bad Dallas

but I'm doing the same I think I have to go Lions the reason is the Lions fans are going to travel well to Minnesota and they're in a dome so the home field advantage might not be as big of a deal as people think

that drive Lions without Aiden Hutchison but true true they're good they're good all around yeah we both go Detroit all right here's the big NFL game of the weekend Kansas City San Francisco

in San Francisco it's San Francisco minus one and a half if it was a different line I feel like San Francisco is going to win but it could be on a last second field goal I'm going to go with San Francisco Kansas City has gotten away with too much with penalties this season

you know Travis Kelsey hasn't really been there I'm going to go with San Francisco all right we're going to be on the same side of this one as well I'm going San Francisco. I also believe in the rebound game in the NFL.

That's why I'm a little worried about picking the lions. Like, I don't know. You're going to blow out another team. But San Francisco loses to the, was that last weekend? It was a weekend before. They lost to the Cardinals. But like you, Casey is not convincing.

They're just, they're not convincing. They're due. They're due. Yeah. So we both have the Niners. All right, here are the good games of the weekend of big games. First of all, Alabama at Tennessee. Tennessee at home is getting three.

So Nico is so, I'm going to go with Tennessee because Alabama is like, after that Vanderbilt game, I don't know how psychological, like, that affected them that, oh, we are not Alabama. They are not the Nick Sabin, Alabama. they are not there's no dynasty that they are a part of it's been definitely de facto like this is no longer like the new england patriots dynasty is over like there's no residual effect anymore the nix sabin dynasty is over and tennessee is going to come and they're coming at alabama with the same tenacity that they did

the nick savin era alabama and they're going to get their best game and i don't think Alabama has you know, the standing and the confidence, the spirit of Alabama football has sort of died. And I think that's what we're going to see in this game. It's going to be like, okay, Alabama is no longer the Alabama and this just seals the deal. So the loser of this game is going to have a hard time making the playoffs. They're going to be at two losses. And I'm trying as you speak to talk myself into Alabama because I was going to take Tennessee. And I don't want to be on the same side of every bet here as you.

Yeah, we got to split up. I mean, I like that Tennessee is home. And I do think Tennessee is better than they show. But their offense was horrible last week. So I'm doing a decent job of talking myself into Ryan Williams, who is amazing. Like, throw it up. Jail Mell, just throw it up to Ryan Williams.

He's a stud, the freshman wide receiver. Did you know he's only 17? you've heard yeah so I can do it yeah all right road team but I have to give up three is the problem you get three at home with Tennessee I really don't like that but okay I'll take Alabama I'll do it I'll take one for the team roll tied and now the big game I'm going to go first because you're not going to put me on the wrong side of this bet I know I know Georgia Texas in Austin but But the Longhorns are giving up five. And that's a lot of points.

I'm just going to tell you right now, I'm taking Texas. You're taking Texas? Okay, I'll go Georgia. Georgia's strong. You know, that Alabama close game, and I know it's not the Alabama anymore, but I like Georgia. They've had their downs, but they can still play.

I think they've worked it out. You know, it doesn't matter how many times Texas beats Alabama or almost beats Alabama or rolls oh you all of which I'm talking about recent history they just have enough to breed some insecurity from the past and I'm like oh we may not be there just yet gonna take a loss at some point this isn't the worst loss of the season to take but this Texas team man they're good I think Georgia's shown vulnerability and not just against Alabama and I'm just not a huge like all the way believer in Carson Beck just not um so i wish it wasn't five points but yeah i feel good about the horns and i feel good about

the horns and i'll lay the five there we go in austin saturday night i hope i can stay up late enough to watch that game i think there we go that's will versus the experts yeah so i i'm i'm with you on texas i think texas wins but i think georgia covers i got that right yeah Yeah. Yeah. That's right. You get the five points, so you'll be fine. You'll probably be fine. All right, there you go. That's Will versus the experts with Billy Football, aka Bill Carter.
