FIVE

[00:00:00] I will better take projection

[00:00:06] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, I am TD, that is Greg. Greg, how you doing man?

[00:00:11] Man, I am good tonight sir, how are you?

[00:00:15] I'm good, I don't need to eat for a week or so

[00:00:18] I am, a lot of good stuff

[00:00:21] All the good stuff man

[00:00:23] So much good stuff

[00:00:27] You know when you're running around and do two different families and stuff, man

[00:00:31] Oh man, all time, even better

[00:00:33] Right, you just get stuffed man

[00:00:35] Yeah

[00:00:36] But also a good weekend to be a Bama fan

[00:00:40] As Keith Jackson once said

[00:00:42] It's a high time in the old town tonight if you're wearing crimson

[00:00:46] And it was last year for the fifth year in a row

[00:00:49] Our tide wins the Iron Bowl

[00:00:53] Man, throw the thumb

[00:00:54] There you go, take that Tommy

[00:00:59] And of course now, you know, we must mention

[00:01:01] The guy that Auburn hired specifically because he beat Alabama

[00:01:06] Is now 0-2 versus Alabama

[00:01:09] That's Auburn coach

[00:01:10] That is

[00:01:14] Some of those good stuff, I mean

[00:01:16] Yeah, it was an uneven effort

[00:01:20] You know, a little sloppy at times

[00:01:23] Offense had four turnovers

[00:01:26] Definitely some drops

[00:01:27] Some

[00:01:28] Yeah, a lot of drops

[00:01:30] I was kind of shocked

[00:01:31] Yeah, a couple don't

[00:01:32] Yeah, dropped two touchdowns

[00:01:33] Ryan Williams just had one right in his breadbasket

[00:01:36] And

[00:01:37] I mean

[00:01:38] Beautiful throw

[00:01:38] Oh, yeah

[00:01:39] Maybe the most beautiful throw Jalen's made in his career

[00:01:42] I mean

[00:01:43] We've seen a lot of pretty deep balls

[00:01:44] But that one was

[00:01:45] That was

[00:01:46] Like 50, 60 yards on the dime

[00:01:50] Yeah

[00:01:52] Yeah

[00:01:53] And just

[00:01:53] Ryan couldn't

[00:01:54] At first I thought maybe the guy made a good play

[00:01:56] And knocked it away

[00:01:57] Or maybe his

[00:01:58] Yeah

[00:01:58] He hit his foot as he was catching

[00:02:00] No, he just dropped it

[00:02:01] Yeah, he just dropped it

[00:02:03] That's crazy

[00:02:05] You know, they showed his stats

[00:02:07] Ryan Williams

[00:02:08] That is

[00:02:08] His stats

[00:02:09] The last four games

[00:02:10] And it does appear

[00:02:11] He's maybe hit a little freshman wall there

[00:02:12] You know, maybe some defenses

[00:02:14] Figure things out

[00:02:17] But still no reason to panic

[00:02:18] It's an immensely talented kid

[00:02:20] And he's only going to get better

[00:02:21] Oh

[00:02:22] Better

[00:02:23] Yeah

[00:02:24] CJ

[00:02:25] I think it was a

[00:02:25] Dippery dropped one

[00:02:27] Later in the game too

[00:02:28] That would have been a much tougher

[00:02:30] Yeah

[00:02:31] Catch

[00:02:32] But

[00:02:32] Still got a catch though

[00:02:34] Yeah

[00:02:35] Tied to get it with the one hand after

[00:02:37] He did, yeah

[00:02:38] And I think the defender

[00:02:39] Ended up tipping

[00:02:41] Like hitting the nose of the ball

[00:02:42] And knocked it out of his hand

[00:02:43] But I don't think the defender

[00:02:44] Even knew anything about it

[00:02:45] I think he just happened to hit it

[00:02:46] Yeah

[00:02:49] But yeah, like we said

[00:02:50] Four turnovers

[00:02:50] Sloppy at times

[00:02:51] But the ground game

[00:02:53] Was really strong

[00:02:55] Both

[00:02:55] Jalen Milrow

[00:02:57] With three more Russian touchdowns

[00:02:58] His career total

[00:03:00] And the running backs

[00:03:01] They got a lot of carries

[00:03:02] And they look good

[00:03:03] Yeah

[00:03:04] And you know

[00:03:06] Go ahead

[00:03:08] You know

[00:03:09] Again

[00:03:10] The only thing

[00:03:11] I will say

[00:03:12] You know

[00:03:12] The only thing that frustrated me

[00:03:14] Is just like

[00:03:15] The effort

[00:03:16] And the passion

[00:03:17] That was there

[00:03:19] Even with the mistakes

[00:03:20] You couldn't knock

[00:03:21] The effort

[00:03:22] And the

[00:03:23] The one

[00:03:24] You know

[00:03:25] You know

[00:03:25] Today

[00:03:26] Man

[00:03:27] You just wanted to

[00:03:27] Like what was that

[00:03:28] In Norman

[00:03:30] Exactly

[00:03:30] Yeah

[00:03:31] We understand

[00:03:32] It's a rivalry game

[00:03:33] But you gotta

[00:03:34] Again

[00:03:35] Knowing that

[00:03:36] You need

[00:03:36] If you win

[00:03:37] If they come out

[00:03:38] With that kind of passion

[00:03:40] And effort

[00:03:41] And coaching

[00:03:42] Last week

[00:03:43] Yeah

[00:03:43] We're talking about

[00:03:44] Alabama

[00:03:45] Going to the

[00:03:46] SEC title game

[00:03:47] Next weekend

[00:03:47] For sure

[00:03:49] So it's frustrating

[00:03:51] You know

[00:03:51] In an up and down season

[00:03:53] That it was

[00:03:54] But hey

[00:03:55] What can you do

[00:03:57] Except

[00:03:57] Enjoy what we have

[00:03:59] And that is

[00:04:00] The fifth straight

[00:04:01] Ironbow

[00:04:03] Despite

[00:04:03] You know

[00:04:04] You know

[00:04:05] Auburn

[00:04:06] Coming in with a lot of

[00:04:07] A lot of

[00:04:08] Confidence

[00:04:09] After talking about

[00:04:10] A&M

[00:04:11] Them boys was

[00:04:12] Talking this week

[00:04:14] Talking a lot of trash

[00:04:15] And Jalen wasn't anything

[00:04:17] And Ryan's not anything

[00:04:19] And he'll never lose

[00:04:20] Auburn

[00:04:21] He'll never lose to us

[00:04:22] Ever

[00:04:22] In this time

[00:04:23] I don't know

[00:04:24] Well

[00:04:27] Turns out

[00:04:28] That

[00:04:28] That now makes

[00:04:29] For

[00:04:29] A class of

[00:04:31] Alabama seniors

[00:04:32] That never lost

[00:04:33] To Auburn

[00:04:33] In their time

[00:04:34] That's just amazing

[00:04:36] I mean

[00:04:36] You gotta think

[00:04:37] I mean

[00:04:37] We

[00:04:38] I appreciate

[00:04:39] Any time we

[00:04:40] Went at Ironbow

[00:04:40] Just cause

[00:04:41] I mean

[00:04:41] We never got to

[00:04:42] See it in person

[00:04:43] Like that

[00:04:44] That's cool

[00:04:46] 0-6 in our time

[00:04:48] 0-5

[00:04:48] Whatever

[00:04:49] I know

[00:04:49] Us personally

[00:04:51] Went to two

[00:04:51] We went to

[00:04:53] I guess

[00:04:53] Four together

[00:04:54] Or five

[00:04:56] Yeah

[00:04:57] Yeah

[00:04:58] We went

[00:04:58] You know

[00:04:59] To

[00:04:59] In Auburn

[00:05:00] Twice

[00:05:02] In Tuscaloosa

[00:05:03] I played three times

[00:05:04] Yeah

[00:05:06] Yeah

[00:05:08] Rough

[00:05:11] No

[00:05:12] I'm thinking

[00:05:13] We saw four together

[00:05:15] Yeah we did

[00:05:16] I saw

[00:05:17] I saw another one

[00:05:18] I came back

[00:05:19] For the 0-7

[00:05:20] Iron Bowl

[00:05:20] I went down there

[00:05:22] With our buddy

[00:05:23] Brett Pate

[00:05:24] Okay

[00:05:25] That was a

[00:05:26] Yeah

[00:05:26] But yeah

[00:05:27] I mean it's just

[00:05:29] You know

[00:05:29] I still

[00:05:30] Appreciate it

[00:05:31] Just cause

[00:05:31] I mean

[00:05:32] Yeah

[00:05:33] For sure

[00:05:33] Yeah

[00:05:33] And then five in a row

[00:05:35] Like that

[00:05:35] I mean

[00:05:35] I mean

[00:05:36] You can't knock that

[00:05:37] I mean

[00:05:38] Just cause

[00:05:38] Even

[00:05:39] It's

[00:05:40] Overall

[00:05:41] Very rare

[00:05:42] In this series

[00:05:42] You know

[00:05:43] We saw Auburn

[00:05:44] Win six

[00:05:45] You know

[00:05:46] We had five

[00:05:46] Went in the late

[00:05:48] 70s or 80s

[00:05:49] Somewhere in there

[00:05:50] With five

[00:05:51] Or six

[00:05:51] In a row

[00:05:53] But you know

[00:05:54] It's just

[00:05:55] To be able to

[00:05:56] You know

[00:05:57] Win five

[00:05:58] Five like that

[00:05:59] And hopefully

[00:06:00] Some more

[00:06:00] I mean

[00:06:01] No matter

[00:06:02] You know

[00:06:03] Our issues

[00:06:04] Coming into the game

[00:06:05] And possibly

[00:06:06] Not making the playoff

[00:06:07] I mean

[00:06:07] You still gotta

[00:06:08] Love what we did

[00:06:09] You know

[00:06:10] Yesterday

[00:06:10] And the effort

[00:06:12] Was definitely there

[00:06:13] You know

[00:06:13] You

[00:06:13] You hate to see

[00:06:15] The mistakes

[00:06:15] But you know

[00:06:16] You know

[00:06:17] It was

[00:06:18] They were

[00:06:19] Overcoming

[00:06:20] A lot

[00:06:20] Everybody played

[00:06:21] With a lot of

[00:06:22] Passion

[00:06:23] And you know

[00:06:25] I was impressed

[00:06:26] With the defense

[00:06:27] You know

[00:06:28] They kept

[00:06:28] Payton Thorne

[00:06:29] Guessing all day

[00:06:30] He didn't know

[00:06:31] What was coming

[00:06:32] Or going

[00:06:32] No

[00:06:33] I was gonna say

[00:06:34] That we kind of

[00:06:35] Talked about

[00:06:35] Last week

[00:06:36] How

[00:06:38] You know

[00:06:38] The big worry

[00:06:39] In this game

[00:06:40] Was that

[00:06:40] Hugh Freeze

[00:06:40] Was gonna

[00:06:41] Just look at

[00:06:41] Those

[00:06:42] That Oklahoma

[00:06:42] And Vandy

[00:06:43] Blueprint

[00:06:44] And just go

[00:06:44] Alright

[00:06:45] We can do that

[00:06:45] No problem

[00:06:46] And

[00:06:48] Our defense

[00:06:48] Needed to step

[00:06:49] Up

[00:06:49] And they did

[00:06:50] They

[00:06:52] Created two

[00:06:53] Turnovers

[00:06:53] Themselves

[00:06:55] Including the

[00:06:55] Big one

[00:06:57] In the fourth

[00:06:57] Quarter

[00:06:58] When it looked

[00:06:58] Like Auburn

[00:06:59] Could have

[00:06:59] Made it a game

[00:07:00] Then they got

[00:07:01] Another

[00:07:01] Jalen

[00:07:02] Monroe

[00:07:02] Fumble

[00:07:03] Set them up

[00:07:04] In Alabama

[00:07:05] Territory

[00:07:05] And they tried

[00:07:06] A little trick

[00:07:06] Pass

[00:07:07] And it

[00:07:08] I mean

[00:07:09] You can say

[00:07:10] It was a bad

[00:07:10] Play call

[00:07:11] Which probably

[00:07:11] I don't know

[00:07:12] If I go

[00:07:12] Trick play

[00:07:13] There either

[00:07:13] But

[00:07:15] There were

[00:07:15] Five Alabama

[00:07:16] Defenders

[00:07:17] Right there

[00:07:17] Waiting for

[00:07:17] To pick

[00:07:18] That ball

[00:07:18] Off

[00:07:20] And you know

[00:07:21] As tough

[00:07:21] As our

[00:07:22] Running

[00:07:22] Game has

[00:07:23] Been at

[00:07:23] Times

[00:07:24] I mean

[00:07:24] The hold

[00:07:24] Possibly the

[00:07:25] Best running

[00:07:26] Back that we

[00:07:28] Played all

[00:07:28] Season

[00:07:29] To 56

[00:07:29] Yards

[00:07:31] Yeah

[00:07:31] Exactly

[00:07:31] A lot of

[00:07:32] Talk about him

[00:07:33] Coming in

[00:07:33] The game

[00:07:34] And what

[00:07:35] He could

[00:07:35] Do to that

[00:07:36] Defense

[00:07:36] And yeah

[00:07:36] 56

[00:07:37] Yards

[00:07:37] I will

[00:07:39] Give Peyton

[00:07:39] Thorne

[00:07:40] His credit

[00:07:41] That fool

[00:07:42] Is a little

[00:07:43] Fool

[00:07:43] Was a little

[00:07:44] Bumble

[00:07:44] We couldn't

[00:07:45] We couldn't

[00:07:46] Sack that

[00:07:46] Fool

[00:07:47] He kept

[00:07:47] On rolling

[00:07:48] And I was

[00:07:49] Like Mike

[00:07:50] He's doing

[00:07:51] Some like

[00:07:52] I'm trying to

[00:07:53] Think

[00:07:54] Josh Allen's

[00:07:55] Not the right

[00:07:55] Comparison

[00:07:56] Because he's

[00:07:56] Bigger

[00:07:56] But he

[00:07:57] Just one of

[00:07:58] Them slippery

[00:07:59] Dudes back

[00:07:59] There

[00:08:00] And it

[00:08:00] Wasn't any

[00:08:00] You know

[00:08:01] It wasn't

[00:08:01] Like Lamar

[00:08:01] Jackson

[00:08:02] Breaking ankles

[00:08:02] And doing

[00:08:03] Amazing stuff

[00:08:03] It was just

[00:08:04] That

[00:08:06] Annoying

[00:08:06] Pocket

[00:08:07] Presence

[00:08:07] Guy

[00:08:07] That could

[00:08:08] Just not

[00:08:08] Get sacked

[00:08:09] Yeah

[00:08:11] We put a

[00:08:12] Lot of

[00:08:12] Hands on him

[00:08:13] He slipped

[00:08:13] Away from

[00:08:14] A lot of

[00:08:14] Guys

[00:08:14] Just took

[00:08:15] Just the

[00:08:16] Wrong angle

[00:08:16] Or

[00:08:17] There was

[00:08:17] One

[00:08:17] Was it

[00:08:18] Malachi

[00:08:18] Or some

[00:08:19] Safety

[00:08:19] Came in

[00:08:20] Just hot

[00:08:20] On the

[00:08:21] Blitz

[00:08:21] And just

[00:08:21] Ran right

[00:08:22] By him

[00:08:22] I was

[00:08:23] Like

[00:08:24] But overall

[00:08:25] Great effort

[00:08:26] By the

[00:08:26] Defense

[00:08:26] Yeah

[00:08:27] My goodness

[00:08:28] This

[00:08:29] Was elusive

[00:08:29] As shit

[00:08:32] Yeah

[00:08:33] It's frustrating

[00:08:33] The game

[00:08:35] Ended

[00:08:35] On what

[00:08:36] He's been

[00:08:36] Known for

[00:08:37] All season

[00:08:37] Of course

[00:08:38] The interception

[00:08:39] That was

[00:08:40] Pretty

[00:08:40] Hilarious

[00:08:42] Yeah

[00:08:44] Yeah

[00:08:45] And you

[00:08:45] Know

[00:08:45] You look

[00:08:46] At it

[00:08:46] And when

[00:08:46] You

[00:08:47] Turn the

[00:08:48] Ball over

[00:08:48] Four times

[00:08:49] And still

[00:08:49] Win by

[00:08:50] Two touchdowns

[00:08:51] And really

[00:08:51] The score

[00:08:52] Wasn't even

[00:08:53] That close

[00:08:53] That's

[00:08:54] You gotta

[00:08:55] Like that

[00:08:55] Especially

[00:08:56] In a

[00:08:57] Robber

[00:08:57] Game

[00:08:57] Especially

[00:08:58] Like we

[00:08:58] Said

[00:08:58] All that

[00:08:59] Talking

[00:08:59] They were

[00:08:59] Doing

[00:09:00] This week

[00:09:01] I

[00:09:01] Noted

[00:09:02] To

[00:09:02] What

[00:09:02] Was

[00:09:03] That

[00:09:03] What's

[00:09:03] His

[00:09:03] Name

[00:09:04] The

[00:09:05] Riddick

[00:09:06] Linebacker

[00:09:07] Was doing

[00:09:07] That

[00:09:07] Talking

[00:09:07] On that

[00:09:08] First

[00:09:08] Jalen

[00:09:09] Who

[00:09:10] Got

[00:09:10] Beat

[00:09:10] Around

[00:09:10] That

[00:09:10] Corner

[00:09:11] But

[00:09:12] I

[00:09:14] Think

[00:09:14] I

[00:09:14] Got

[00:09:16] Chippy

[00:09:17] At

[00:09:17] The

[00:09:17] End

[00:09:17] After

[00:09:18] The

[00:09:18] After

[00:09:18] The

[00:09:18] Game

[00:09:19] Boy

[00:09:19] They

[00:09:19] Got

[00:09:19] In

[00:09:19] So

[00:09:20] Chippy

[00:09:21] After

[00:09:21] The

[00:09:21] Game

[00:09:22] Chippy

[00:09:22] During

[00:09:22] The

[00:09:22] Game

[00:09:24] Another

[00:09:26] Instance

[00:09:26] Of

[00:09:26] Just

[00:09:27] Terrible

[00:09:27] SEC

[00:09:27] Referee

[00:09:28] And

[00:09:28] So

[00:09:28] There

[00:09:28] The

[00:09:29] Play

[00:09:29] We're

[00:09:30] Smith

[00:09:31] Alabama

[00:09:32] Defender

[00:09:32] Locked up

[00:09:33] With

[00:09:33] A

[00:09:34] Auburn

[00:09:34] Receiver

[00:09:34] I

[00:09:35] Can't

[00:09:35] Remember

[00:09:35] Who

[00:09:35] Right

[00:09:36] Now

[00:09:36] They're

[00:09:36] Blocking

[00:09:37] Each

[00:09:37] Other

[00:09:37] Into

[00:09:38] The

[00:09:38] Side

[00:09:38] Line

[00:09:38] It

[00:09:39] Goes

[00:09:39] Deep

[00:09:39] Onto

[00:09:39] The

[00:09:39] Auburn

[00:09:40] Side

[00:09:40] Line

[00:09:40] And

[00:09:41] Like

[00:09:42] Of

[00:09:42] Our

[00:09:43] Guys

[00:09:43] Surrounded

[00:09:44] By

[00:09:44] The

[00:09:44] Entire

[00:09:55] So

[00:09:56] The

[00:09:56] Entire

[00:09:56] Bench

[00:09:57] Surrounds

[00:09:57] It

[00:09:57] And

[00:09:58] We

[00:09:58] Get

[00:09:58] There

[00:09:58] Two

[00:09:58] Flags

[00:10:00] Both

[00:10:00] On

[00:10:00] Alabama

[00:10:02] You're

[00:10:03] Telling

[00:10:03] Me

[00:10:03] I

[00:10:04] Still

[00:10:04] Don't

[00:10:04] What

[00:10:05] Malachi

[00:10:05] Did

[00:10:05] At

[00:10:05] Oh

[00:10:06] No

[00:10:07] Yeah

[00:10:07] I

[00:10:07] Watched

[00:10:08] That

[00:10:08] Replay

[00:10:08] A couple

[00:10:09] Times

[00:10:09] I

[00:10:09] Could

[00:10:09] Not

[00:10:09] See

[00:10:09] But

[00:10:10] You're

[00:10:10] Telling

[00:10:10] Me

[00:10:10] That

[00:10:10] One

[00:10:11] That's

[00:10:12] Just

[00:10:12] Bad

[00:10:12] Referee

[00:10:12] And

[00:10:13] When

[00:10:13] That

[00:10:14] Happens

[00:10:14] And

[00:10:14] I

[00:10:14] Mean

[00:10:14] Obviously

[00:10:15] Something

[00:10:16] Happened

[00:10:17] In

[00:10:17] There

[00:10:17] To

[00:10:17] Get

[00:10:17] Devante

[00:10:18] Was

[00:10:18] Hot

[00:10:18] I

[00:10:19] Mean

[00:10:20] There

[00:10:21] Was

[00:10:21] Something

[00:10:21] In

[00:10:21] There

[00:10:22] Kaelin

[00:10:22] DeBoer

[00:10:23] Got

[00:10:23] Hot

[00:10:23] And

[00:10:24] He

[00:10:24] Was

[00:10:24] Yelling

[00:10:25] I

[00:10:25] Saw

[00:10:25] Him

[00:10:25] Motion

[00:10:26] For

[00:10:26] Face

[00:10:26] Mask

[00:10:26] I

[00:10:27] Don't

[00:10:27] Know

[00:10:27] If

[00:10:27] Somebody

[00:10:27] Ripped

[00:10:28] Devante

[00:10:29] Helmet

[00:10:29] Off

[00:10:45] To

[00:10:45] Get

[00:10:45] The

[00:10:45] Message

[00:10:46] To

[00:10:46] Both

[00:10:46] Teams

[00:10:47] Like

[00:10:47] Hey

[00:10:47] We're

[00:10:48] Not

[00:10:48] Doing

[00:10:49] This

[00:10:49] Like

[00:10:50] Calm

[00:10:51] It

[00:10:51] Down

[00:10:51] Like

[00:10:51] You

[00:10:51] Know

[00:10:52] Keep

[00:10:52] It

[00:10:52] Between

[00:10:52] The

[00:10:52] Whistles

[00:10:53] Right

[00:10:53] There

[00:10:54] By

[00:10:55] Doing

[00:10:55] That

[00:10:55] And

[00:10:55] Calling

[00:10:56] Only

[00:10:56] The

[00:10:56] Fouls

[00:10:56] And

[00:10:57] You

[00:10:57] Gave

[00:10:57] Auburn

[00:10:58] Carte

[00:10:58] Blanche

[00:10:58] To

[00:10:59] Just

[00:11:00] Do

[00:11:00] That

[00:11:00] And

[00:11:00] They

[00:11:01] Continue

[00:11:01] To

[00:11:01] Be

[00:11:01] A little

[00:11:02] Chippy

[00:11:02] The

[00:11:02] Rest

[00:11:02] Of

[00:11:02] The

[00:11:02] Game

[00:11:04] Like

[00:11:04] We

[00:11:05] Mention

[00:11:05] There

[00:11:05] There's

[00:11:05] A

[00:11:05] Skirmish

[00:11:06] After

[00:11:06] The

[00:11:06] Game

[00:11:06] Yeah

[00:11:07] You

[00:11:08] Even

[00:11:08] See

[00:11:08] Greg

[00:11:09] Byrne

[00:11:09] Trying

[00:11:10] To

[00:11:10] Break

[00:11:10] Stuff

[00:11:11] Yeah

[00:11:11] He

[00:11:12] Was

[00:11:12] Pulling

[00:11:12] Guys

[00:11:12] Away

[00:11:14] It

[00:11:15] Was

[00:11:15] Crazy

[00:11:15] And

[00:11:15] That

[00:11:16] Ended

[00:11:16] Up

[00:11:16] Being

[00:11:16] The

[00:11:16] Theme

[00:11:17] Of

[00:11:17] The

[00:11:17] Day

[00:11:17] We'll

[00:11:17] Get

[00:11:17] To

[00:11:18] That

[00:11:18] In

[00:11:18] The

[00:11:18] Other

[00:11:18] Games

[00:11:19] Where

[00:11:19] It

[00:11:19] Happened

[00:11:21] But

[00:11:22] Yeah

[00:11:22] Just

[00:11:23] Just

[00:11:24] A

[00:11:25] Wow

[00:11:25] Another

[00:11:26] Crazy

[00:11:27] SEC

[00:11:28] Ref

[00:11:28] And

[00:11:28] That

[00:11:29] Guy

[00:11:29] Gastro

[00:11:30] Whatever

[00:11:30] The

[00:11:30] Hell

[00:11:31] His

[00:11:31] Name

[00:11:31] Is

[00:11:31] He's

[00:11:31] gotta

[00:11:31] Go

[00:11:32] Man

[00:11:32] That

[00:11:33] That

[00:11:33] The

[00:11:33] I

[00:11:37] Will

[00:11:40] Say

[00:11:40] Devont

[00:11:41] They

[00:11:41] Got

[00:11:41] The

[00:11:41] Best

[00:11:41] Of

[00:11:42] It

[00:11:42] I

[00:11:44] I

[00:11:46] He

[00:11:47] Still

[00:11:47] Got

[00:11:47] Offsetting

[00:11:48] Cause

[00:11:48] Clearly

[00:11:48] They're

[00:11:49] Both

[00:11:49] Going

[00:11:49] At

[00:11:49] It

[00:11:50] The

[00:11:53] entire

[00:11:54] Auburn

[00:11:54] Team

[00:11:55] Surrounded

[00:11:55] Our

[00:11:55] Guys

[00:11:56] You

[00:11:56] Have

[00:11:56] To

[00:12:03] And if something similar had happened after that on the Alabama sideline,

[00:12:06] you're inviting the whole Alabama team to get over there.

[00:12:08] We'll do the same thing.

[00:12:10] Uh-huh.

[00:12:10] And so that's just for a refereeing.

[00:12:13] Your job as a ref is to control the game.

[00:12:17] Yeah, I mean, that should be done any Saturday, but it's rivalry Saturday.

[00:12:20] Exactly, especially, yeah.

[00:12:22] And each other.

[00:12:24] Folks live for this damn game.

[00:12:28] You got to.

[00:12:29] You got to.

[00:12:30] Yeah.

[00:12:33] Yeah, exactly.

[00:12:35] For the safety of the kids, for safety of everyone standing over there.

[00:12:38] Because, you know, that was at the end, too.

[00:12:40] That was in, like, the red zone.

[00:12:42] So that's not just players and coaches over there.

[00:12:46] That's, you know, cheerleaders, photographers, press, you know, guests.

[00:12:50] Yeah, all the time.

[00:12:51] Yeah.

[00:12:54] But, yeah, like I said, so fifth win in a row in the Iron Bowl for Alabama.

[00:12:58] Nine wins now for Kaelin DeBoer in his debut season.

[00:13:01] And that ties Frank Thomas for the most all-time in Alabama history.

[00:13:06] He, of course, will have a chance to get to 10.

[00:13:12] Whether or not that's in the playoff will be decided.

[00:13:16] Some people think that maybe Alabama can sneak in.

[00:13:18] Some people think not enough happened for them.

[00:13:20] Maybe some championship games will.

[00:13:24] Based upon the AP rankings, though, it looks good for him.

[00:13:28] I will say that.

[00:13:29] It does.

[00:13:30] Well, the question I have to you isn't whether you think they'll get in or not.

[00:13:33] But I ask, is Alabama a playoff team?

[00:13:39] You know, when we're playing good, absolutely.

[00:13:47] Our consistency hasn't been there.

[00:13:50] I mean, I've said it.

[00:13:52] I don't think with how many one and two loss teams are out there, and I don't care what

[00:13:58] conference you come from.

[00:13:59] I don't care what you consider a certain strength of schedule, et cetera, et cetera.

[00:14:05] Personally, I don't think a three loss team should be there.

[00:14:10] But, you know, if they're going to put us in, I mean, I'm not going to knock it too much.

[00:14:18] Because obviously, at the same time that we have those three losses, and two out mid or

[00:14:23] bad losses, it doesn't look good.

[00:14:25] We also have some very good wins.

[00:14:29] If it comes down, you know, to us, Ole Miss and South Carolina, I mean, the old South Carolina

[00:14:36] end of the season hot, and that seems to be where a lot of people are looking, whether

[00:14:40] that's real or not, or just media-driven.

[00:14:42] You have to look at it head-to-head at some point, even if South Carolina's been better off

[00:14:47] in the last month than both us and Ole Miss.

[00:14:50] Same time, we both beat Ole Miss and Alabama beat South Carolina, and that has to play something

[00:14:57] or what's the point of head-to-head at all?

[00:15:00] Exactly.

[00:15:00] As much as, especially as much as college football media and purists love the talent of

[00:15:06] the regular season, the importance of the regular season, as much as a great story South Carolina

[00:15:11] is, and they've been, you know, so hot this November, they're great.

[00:15:15] Good for them.

[00:15:16] I hope, you know, wish them all the best in the future.

[00:15:18] But you cannot, if it comes down to those three teams, you cannot jump them ahead of Alabama

[00:15:25] or Ole Miss because they lost to them in the regular season.

[00:15:28] And if you do that, then you are saying the regular season doesn't matter.

[00:15:33] Doesn't matter.

[00:15:34] Yeah.

[00:15:34] It just depends on how you can't end the season, what you're saying.

[00:15:38] Oh, man.

[00:15:40] Yeah.

[00:15:41] They, you know, the good win over Clemson yesterday, got that win over A&M.

[00:15:45] You know, those are good wins, but they also aren't on the caliber of Alabama and Ole Miss's

[00:15:50] both victories over Georgia, you know?

[00:15:52] So.

[00:15:53] Yep.

[00:15:55] Yeah.

[00:15:56] So I tend to agree with you.

[00:15:58] I think, yeah, if you knew that the A game was coming in, then absolutely Alabama's a,

[00:16:03] you know, not only a playoff team, but a title contender.

[00:16:07] I mean, a national title contender.

[00:16:08] But at the same time, and, you know, I, the only, really the thing that annoys me, I'm

[00:16:16] a SEC guy, you know, that I love SEC football.

[00:16:20] We both do.

[00:16:21] But at the same time, I'm not a homer to the fact that, oh, we should get in because we're

[00:16:28] SEC or, you know, if there's other teams out there, you know, for example, you know,

[00:16:34] there's people after the Ohio State loss, if Indiana shouldn't have any chance of making

[00:16:40] a playoff, they haven't played anybody, yada, yada, yada.

[00:16:43] But I don't agree with that at the same time, you know?

[00:16:48] So it's a slippery slope because, you know, we say, oh, you know, so-and-so is better than

[00:16:57] so-and-so because they're in the SEC or the Big Ten or they had a tougher schedule.

[00:17:02] But at the end of the day, if those teams don't play, it's all hypotheticals.

[00:17:06] So it's, you know, hard to go off hypotheticals.

[00:17:09] And, you know, we can look at strength of schedule.

[00:17:14] But, you know, some of that's kind of annoying to me just because, you know, because I feel

[00:17:22] like teams like Indiana or an SMU, they're not necessarily getting the same value because

[00:17:31] of their name more than anything else.

[00:17:34] Because if that had been, you know, Indiana team was a Michigan or a Penn State, you know,

[00:17:43] no one's questioning that one loss team.

[00:17:46] No one's going to, because Michigan's have, Michigan and Ohio State have had plenty of soft

[00:17:50] schedules until they played each other.

[00:17:52] And no one's better than I.

[00:17:54] So it's just funny.

[00:17:55] There's a change based on the name.

[00:17:58] Oh, yeah.

[00:17:58] And that's absolutely what it is.

[00:18:00] And I'm with you.

[00:18:03] Indiana was supposed to help out with that, right?

[00:18:07] Exactly.

[00:18:07] It's supposed to get fresh, you know, and that's part of the reason they expanded is the fatigue

[00:18:11] of having Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, and, you know, whatever four team in there.

[00:18:17] People were getting tired of that, you know, Clemson, Oklahoma, Texas, Michigan, whoever.

[00:18:21] And so part of it was getting more teams in, you know, giving them a chance to field.

[00:18:26] And when Indiana does what you're supposed to do, which is just beat the teams that are

[00:18:30] on your schedule and not only beat them, they beat the hell out of everyone they played

[00:18:33] except for that Ohio State game.

[00:18:35] They did.

[00:18:36] And it's crazy, too, because, I mean, we're also looking at it.

[00:18:40] This is also the same time you say, you know, Indiana didn't have a good schedule.

[00:18:48] It's also Indiana.

[00:18:50] Now, normally if they played a Washington or Michigan team and had lost those games and,

[00:18:55] you know, no one's blinking an eye or thinking, oh, that's, but it should be impressive enough

[00:19:00] that they turned around from three and nine to 11 and one.

[00:19:03] And I don't care if Michigan's bad.

[00:19:05] They still did enough to beat Ohio State yesterday and they dominated them.

[00:19:11] You know, Washington has been up and down, but I mean, it's still Washington and they

[00:19:15] dominated them.

[00:19:16] I mean, those aren't just anybody's, they're not as good this year, but, you know, they're

[00:19:22] still good enough.

[00:19:23] And we're also talking about Indiana who hasn't, has no history of beating good teams or big

[00:19:29] name teams.

[00:19:30] So it's still impressive in my book for that.

[00:19:33] And then, you know, you look at like an SMU team, you know, sitting there at 11 and one,

[00:19:40] I'm going to the ACC title game.

[00:19:44] And my fear is if they lose to Clemson, they're going to get kicked.

[00:19:49] And I don't think that's right.

[00:19:51] Because even if they don't win that game and end up 11 and two, I think they've done more

[00:19:56] than enough to be in the playoff.

[00:19:59] And I don't think they're going to get that opportunity if they lose to Clemson.

[00:20:03] And yeah, they're another team that handled their business this year and only losses, what,

[00:20:07] that BYU game, right?

[00:20:08] Yeah.

[00:20:09] Right.

[00:20:09] And that was early in the season and they're figuring out their quarterback situation.

[00:20:13] Uh-huh.

[00:20:13] Undefeated in conference and they're another team.

[00:20:16] And another thing is, nobody can say that SMU had a soft schedule because SMU moved up

[00:20:26] to a power conference.

[00:20:28] So no matter what, their overall schedule was better than anything they've played because

[00:20:33] they moved up from the American to the power for a conference.

[00:20:38] So nobody can say they had a soft schedule because for them it was a step up every week.

[00:20:43] Mm-hmm.

[00:20:44] Yeah.

[00:20:44] And they did what they want to power conference.

[00:20:47] And you're supposed to...

[00:20:48] They moved up to a bigger conference and handled business and beat everybody.

[00:20:52] Undefeated conference season until this title game next week.

[00:20:55] Exactly.

[00:20:57] So...

[00:20:58] And like Indiana, a lot of those games weren't close.

[00:21:00] Yeah.

[00:21:01] You know, they had a couple wacky ones in there.

[00:21:02] I mean, they had that weird, you know, the Duke game, but they overcame like six turnovers

[00:21:07] and won that one still.

[00:21:08] Yeah.

[00:21:08] On the road.

[00:21:09] Which is impressive.

[00:21:10] That's something that I consider.

[00:21:11] If I were on my committee, I'd be like, that's a playoff team.

[00:21:14] Yeah.

[00:21:14] If you commit six turnovers on the road to a good team and still win that game...

[00:21:19] Find the way to win.

[00:21:19] Yeah.

[00:21:20] That's what playoff teams do.

[00:21:23] Exactly.

[00:21:24] But yeah, this is all why, you know, I used to call for the playoff way back when we were

[00:21:31] in school.

[00:21:31] Oh, absolutely.

[00:21:32] The perfect time to implement it would have been after that 04 season when you had...

[00:21:37] When they had USC.

[00:21:39] USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Boise, and TCU?

[00:21:45] Or Utah.

[00:21:46] Maybe Utah.

[00:21:47] Because Utah and 04.

[00:21:48] Yeah, all finished the season, regular season unbeaten.

[00:21:51] And that should have been really the moment when they...

[00:21:56] And back then you could have done it too.

[00:21:58] You could have gone to every conference gets it automatically.

[00:22:00] Absolutely.

[00:22:01] And then I think there were 11 conferences back then, and then 16 team playoff.

[00:22:06] Every conference gets auto-bid, five at-large bids.

[00:22:10] You still had the old Big East back then, you know.

[00:22:14] It would have eliminated all this unnecessary conference realignment crap.

[00:22:19] Yep.

[00:22:20] Because...

[00:22:21] And everybody will say it was such a difficulty, but the FCS has had playoffs our whole lives.

[00:22:28] Yeah.

[00:22:29] With no problem.

[00:22:30] They got a 2014 playoff.

[00:22:32] There's no problem.

[00:22:33] They still find the best teams.

[00:22:34] Yeah.

[00:22:34] It's great to watch too.

[00:22:35] I love watching some FCS playoff.

[00:22:37] Some of those FCS games are awesome.

[00:22:41] But yeah.

[00:22:42] Let's move on.

[00:22:43] Keep going to rivalry week.

[00:22:44] We mentioned the other big one of the day.

[00:22:48] Ohio State still has a Michigan problem.

[00:22:51] Wow.

[00:22:51] Another loss.

[00:22:52] Like, it kind of dominated too.

[00:22:54] It was a close score.

[00:22:55] And Michigan wins on the late field goal 13-10.

[00:22:57] But man.

[00:22:59] Just crazy.

[00:22:59] They shut that high power Buckeye offense down.

[00:23:02] All the way down.

[00:23:04] This wild.

[00:23:05] This wild.

[00:23:06] I mean, you would have thought going into that game.

[00:23:11] We probably expected to be a little bit closer because it's a rivalry game and maybe they don't cover that 21.

[00:23:20] But for Michigan to just be in that game the whole time with that talent difference.

[00:23:28] And in a situation that you've lost three in a row to them and all that frustration and Michigan still able to keep it close on the road and pretty much dominate.

[00:23:40] And if Michigan had any inkling of an offense, they might have blown out Ohio State yesterday.

[00:23:45] Absolutely.

[00:23:46] It's terrible.

[00:23:47] If they had a passing game, that one could have got real ugly.

[00:23:50] Yeah.

[00:23:51] Just wild.

[00:23:52] I don't know what Ryan Day just can't.

[00:23:54] He's like John Cooper.

[00:23:55] He can't beat Michigan for any reason.

[00:23:57] It's so weird.

[00:23:58] I mean, we've said it before in the past.

[00:24:01] You know, Jim Harbaugh constructed that roster almost specifically to beat Ohio State.

[00:24:07] Absolutely.

[00:24:07] Because he couldn't get over that hump for years.

[00:24:10] Yeah.

[00:24:11] And they finally did.

[00:24:13] And now it's just.

[00:24:14] I mean, Ohio State fans.

[00:24:17] There's.

[00:24:17] I think there's going to be conversations this winter.

[00:24:20] Oh, yeah.

[00:24:21] Unless Ryan Day.

[00:24:23] If they don't win the national title.

[00:24:24] Absolutely.

[00:24:26] It's going to be tough.

[00:24:27] And that's it.

[00:24:28] He has to win it.

[00:24:29] I mean, there's no win a game or two.

[00:24:31] Make it to the title game.

[00:24:32] I mean, he's got to win it to secure his job.

[00:24:35] Because anything else, there's going to be conversations there that like, is he the man?

[00:24:40] Can he win?

[00:24:41] Is he the right one?

[00:24:41] Yeah.

[00:24:42] Can he beat Michigan?

[00:24:42] Because Michigan's only going to get better after this first season.

[00:24:46] You know, Sharron Moore's going to.

[00:24:48] I mean, we've already seen them put out $10 million for their quarterback.

[00:24:51] But.

[00:24:52] Exactly.

[00:24:53] They got a big superstar.

[00:24:54] You know, they.

[00:24:54] Coming in.

[00:24:55] You know.

[00:24:55] They.

[00:24:56] Obviously changed their way.

[00:24:57] You know, for a while, Michigan was kind of old school.

[00:24:59] Oh, we're not going to really.

[00:25:01] Play that game.

[00:25:02] And that switched quickly once our ball was gone.

[00:25:06] So, I mean, you kind of.

[00:25:08] You got to play that.

[00:25:09] I mean, realistically, everybody has to play that game these days.

[00:25:12] That's just how you.

[00:25:13] And that's part of it.

[00:25:15] Staying competitive NIL wise.

[00:25:18] Yeah.

[00:25:19] Whether you like it or not, that's just where we're at.

[00:25:22] But, you know, it's just crazy.

[00:25:25] You know, that Michigan was able to pull that off.

[00:25:29] Considering all the difference.

[00:25:32] Man, I.

[00:25:33] Then they had a chance in heck.

[00:25:35] All the frustrations they were going to let out.

[00:25:38] But, man, when we got to halftime and it's sitting there.

[00:25:40] I'm going to say, wow.

[00:25:42] They might pull this off again.

[00:25:45] It's insane.

[00:25:46] You know, really.

[00:25:47] It shouldn't.

[00:25:48] It won't affect Ohio State's making the playoff.

[00:25:52] Maybe.

[00:25:53] I don't.

[00:25:53] I don't even know if.

[00:25:54] Yeah.

[00:25:54] I don't know if it'll even cost them a home game.

[00:25:56] It'll cost them a chance to win the Big Ten title and get a bye.

[00:25:59] Yeah.

[00:25:59] Whether it knocks them out of a home game, I don't even think that'll happen, honestly.

[00:26:04] Okay.

[00:26:05] I think they might drop down to maybe that like 8 seed, 7-8 seed.

[00:26:09] Probably.

[00:26:09] They'll still host a game.

[00:26:11] Which is wild.

[00:26:12] Did they?

[00:26:13] Yeah.

[00:26:13] It's a weird thing, man.

[00:26:15] Like you said, it's like John Cooper.

[00:26:18] It's Ryan Day just cannot.

[00:26:20] He won in four now against Michigan.

[00:26:22] And it's like.

[00:26:23] It was like 47-1 versus the rest of the Big Ten.

[00:26:28] Yeah.

[00:26:29] Just.

[00:26:31] Yeah.

[00:26:32] Just crazy.

[00:26:35] But crazy.

[00:26:37] And then on Friday night, we almost had another big rivalry upset.

[00:26:42] That Georgia Tech took Ugga to the limit.

[00:26:47] Had a, what, 17-0 lead?

[00:26:49] Yeah.

[00:26:50] He jumped out to that 17-0 lead.

[00:26:53] Georgia kept fighting back.

[00:26:55] And a rough 14 with five minutes left.

[00:26:57] And there were Georgia fans leaving Sanford Stadium.

[00:26:59] Yeah.

[00:26:59] They were leaving.

[00:27:00] They thought it was over.

[00:27:02] I mean.

[00:27:03] I'm not the fan to ever really leave a game.

[00:27:05] But.

[00:27:05] No.

[00:27:06] Yeah.

[00:27:06] Those are dead.

[00:27:07] I mean.

[00:27:07] That's hilarious to me.

[00:27:09] So, I missed that.

[00:27:11] And then.

[00:27:12] And it again shows you.

[00:27:14] Man.

[00:27:15] You know.

[00:27:16] They.

[00:27:18] Georgia Tech.

[00:27:20] They.

[00:27:20] They did exactly.

[00:27:23] What we thought that they'd be able to do.

[00:27:25] Was run the ball.

[00:27:26] Did they run it?

[00:27:28] They.

[00:27:28] I think at the end, they were just tired.

[00:27:30] More than anything.

[00:27:31] They were.

[00:27:31] But also, man.

[00:27:32] And now.

[00:27:33] You know.

[00:27:34] Look.

[00:27:35] I think.

[00:27:35] You probably agree.

[00:27:36] But I hate the damn college overtime.

[00:27:38] I hate the two point conversion contest.

[00:27:40] That third.

[00:27:41] That.

[00:27:41] Yes.

[00:27:42] We talked about that last week.

[00:27:44] It's ridiculous.

[00:27:45] It's stupid.

[00:27:46] It's dumb.

[00:27:46] Just get it back to what.

[00:27:48] Every overtime.

[00:27:49] I don't care.

[00:27:51] After the second one.

[00:27:52] Sure.

[00:27:52] Go for two.

[00:27:54] Yeah.

[00:27:54] Make them go for two.

[00:27:55] Instead of kicking the extra point.

[00:27:57] But still started at the 25.

[00:27:59] Started at the 25.

[00:28:00] This one play at the two or three yard line.

[00:28:03] Simply ridiculous.

[00:28:05] I don't know who thought it was a good idea.

[00:28:07] I don't know how that even passed.

[00:28:09] Honestly.

[00:28:09] Yeah.

[00:28:10] All because of that one crazy eight overtime game with LSU and Texas A&M where nothing

[00:28:15] bad happened.

[00:28:16] It's not like.

[00:28:16] No.

[00:28:17] It's just.

[00:28:17] Again.

[00:28:18] We're a good points on last week.

[00:28:19] It's just epic.

[00:28:20] Yeah.

[00:28:20] It's just.

[00:28:20] It was an epic game.

[00:28:22] I know Arkansas has been in a few crazy ones over the years.

[00:28:25] Um.

[00:28:26] They had like a seven or eight overtime with Kentucky and Ole Miss.

[00:28:29] Mm-hmm.

[00:28:29] You know.

[00:28:30] We had that.

[00:28:30] Even we had a five one.

[00:28:32] Sadly.

[00:28:33] When we lost to Tennessee our sophomore year.

[00:28:35] One of five.

[00:28:36] But I mean.

[00:28:38] Nobody.

[00:28:38] You don't ever.

[00:28:39] No one ever got hurt in these games.

[00:28:41] They said it's supposedly for the safety.

[00:28:43] But like we talked about.

[00:28:44] They've added so many other games now.

[00:28:46] Like.

[00:28:46] Stop that.

[00:28:47] That's not a true statement.

[00:28:49] In any way.

[00:28:51] I mean.

[00:28:51] These guys.

[00:28:52] If they're good in the fourth quarter.

[00:28:53] They're going to be good for overtime.

[00:28:55] There's not.

[00:28:57] And you know.

[00:28:58] That one play at the two yard line.

[00:29:00] Is.

[00:29:01] Just.

[00:29:02] I don't know.

[00:29:02] It's annoying.

[00:29:03] I don't think anybody likes it.

[00:29:05] No one's a fan of it.

[00:29:06] No.

[00:29:06] And that's what we're talking about.

[00:29:07] Like what.

[00:29:08] This is ridiculous.

[00:29:09] Like.

[00:29:09] I don't even know how it even left the room.

[00:29:12] After the original concept.

[00:29:14] Sure.

[00:29:14] Talk about it.

[00:29:15] But I don't even know how it left the.

[00:29:17] Left the.

[00:29:17] The room.

[00:29:18] Is a real.

[00:29:19] Real option.

[00:29:21] No.

[00:29:21] It's.

[00:29:22] It's so stupid.

[00:29:23] Yeah.

[00:29:23] It's.

[00:29:23] It's one of these things.

[00:29:24] NCAA.

[00:29:25] Classic NCAA.

[00:29:26] It's.

[00:29:27] Fixing the problem.

[00:29:28] That isn't there.

[00:29:29] You know.

[00:29:29] Yeah.

[00:29:30] Exactly.

[00:29:30] It's not a problem.

[00:29:31] But.

[00:29:32] I said all that.

[00:29:32] Just to say.

[00:29:33] The one thing.

[00:29:34] So that pisses me off.

[00:29:36] Because in these coaches.

[00:29:37] You change up your tendencies.

[00:29:38] And do this.

[00:29:39] Yeah.

[00:29:39] You know.

[00:29:39] Where I thought Georgia Tech.

[00:29:40] Maybe you're right.

[00:29:41] It was just because they're tired.

[00:29:42] But they ran the ball game.

[00:29:44] That's how they got there.

[00:29:45] And then.

[00:29:45] And they started passing.

[00:29:46] And then they stopped it.

[00:29:48] And they had multiple chances.

[00:29:50] Where their defense stopped Georgia.

[00:29:52] Yeah.

[00:29:53] From making a two.

[00:29:54] And then they themselves missed it.

[00:29:55] And they just.

[00:29:57] Didn't.

[00:29:57] I think they only attempted one run.

[00:29:59] On those two point conversions.

[00:30:00] Yeah.

[00:30:01] And got stuffed.

[00:30:01] And.

[00:30:02] It was the wrong read too.

[00:30:03] There was a little jet sweep.

[00:30:05] And.

[00:30:05] Oh.

[00:30:06] What's his face.

[00:30:07] King.

[00:30:08] Kept it.

[00:30:08] And he should have.

[00:30:09] He should have given it to that jet sweep.

[00:30:11] Because old boy.

[00:30:12] Was wide open.

[00:30:13] And he had a.

[00:30:14] Clear path to score.

[00:30:16] Yeah.

[00:30:16] I mean it was.

[00:30:19] I don't know.

[00:30:21] Shows.

[00:30:22] Shows the resiliency of this Georgia team.

[00:30:24] You know.

[00:30:24] We saw a big comeback.

[00:30:25] This year.

[00:30:26] Versus Alabama.

[00:30:27] And they ended up losing up.

[00:30:28] A great comeback.

[00:30:29] Like we said.

[00:30:30] Late.

[00:30:30] Georgia Tech.

[00:30:32] 21 points.

[00:30:33] In the fourth.

[00:30:33] Fourth quarter.

[00:30:34] I mean.

[00:30:35] Yeah.

[00:30:36] They were real big.

[00:30:37] Like we said.

[00:30:38] They were down 14.

[00:30:39] About five minutes to go.

[00:30:40] After Georgia Tech scored a big touchdown.

[00:30:42] Long drive.

[00:30:43] I thought for sure.

[00:30:44] That was going to.

[00:30:45] Yeah.

[00:30:45] I didn't think they had enough time.

[00:30:46] But they got big plays.

[00:30:47] They got to stop.

[00:30:48] And they.

[00:30:48] They tied it up.

[00:30:49] And then.

[00:30:50] Won the game in eight overtimes.

[00:30:52] So really.

[00:30:55] Probably clinched themselves a.

[00:30:56] Playoff berth.

[00:30:58] You know.

[00:30:58] Regardless.

[00:30:58] Unless Texas beats the ever loving shit out of them.

[00:31:00] In the.

[00:31:01] Yeah.

[00:31:02] SEC title game.

[00:31:03] But yeah.

[00:31:03] Had they lost that game.

[00:31:05] They would have.

[00:31:06] They would have had to win their SEC.

[00:31:08] Yeah.

[00:31:09] They would have been on the ropes there.

[00:31:10] But.

[00:31:11] Big win for Georgia.

[00:31:12] Tough loss for Georgia Tech.

[00:31:14] But again.

[00:31:16] That program is going places.

[00:31:17] Brent Key is the right coach.

[00:31:19] You hope.

[00:31:20] For their sake.

[00:31:20] They can keep him around.

[00:31:22] And keep building.

[00:31:24] Because.

[00:31:24] For sure.

[00:31:25] They played great.

[00:31:28] Yeah.

[00:31:28] I mean.

[00:31:29] They.

[00:31:29] They had a great game plan.

[00:31:30] It almost worked perfectly.

[00:31:33] You know.

[00:31:34] You hate it to see that they.

[00:31:37] Lost that game.

[00:31:39] Yeah.

[00:31:41] But.

[00:31:42] Let's go.

[00:31:43] Go ahead.

[00:31:44] No.

[00:31:45] But.

[00:31:46] You know.

[00:31:46] Just.

[00:31:47] Just.

[00:31:47] What a different team.

[00:31:48] I mean.

[00:31:49] I mean.

[00:31:50] There's seven.

[00:31:50] Ended up seven and five.

[00:31:52] On the season.

[00:31:53] But I mean.

[00:31:53] You gotta look.

[00:31:54] Most of those losses came.

[00:31:56] When.

[00:31:56] You know.

[00:31:57] Those middle losses.

[00:31:58] Against like.

[00:31:59] Notre Dame.

[00:32:00] And Vod Tech.

[00:32:00] Hans King.

[00:32:01] Wasn't even playing those games.

[00:32:04] So.

[00:32:04] I mean.

[00:32:05] They're.

[00:32:05] They're.

[00:32:05] You know.

[00:32:06] Much better than what the record shows.

[00:32:09] I would say.

[00:32:10] So.

[00:32:11] I mean.

[00:32:11] Georgia Tech.

[00:32:12] Yeah.

[00:32:12] Definitely going places.

[00:32:13] Can they keep him.

[00:32:14] You know.

[00:32:15] Keep.

[00:32:15] You know.

[00:32:16] Just keep building on what they're doing.

[00:32:19] You know.

[00:32:19] And that ACC.

[00:32:21] Is a conference.

[00:32:22] It's.

[00:32:23] You know.

[00:32:24] An open conference.

[00:32:25] I would say.

[00:32:26] I mean.

[00:32:26] If a.

[00:32:26] New team like.

[00:32:27] Asimu can come in.

[00:32:28] And make the championship.

[00:32:29] In the first year.

[00:32:30] Obviously shows.

[00:32:31] You know.

[00:32:31] It's a.

[00:32:32] Tough conference.

[00:32:33] But in one.

[00:32:33] It's.

[00:32:34] You know.

[00:32:34] You don't necessarily.

[00:32:35] I mean.

[00:32:36] It's not just dominated by one team.

[00:32:38] So Georgia Tech.

[00:32:39] Very much could be in their mix next year.

[00:32:42] Absolutely.

[00:32:44] Another rivalry.

[00:32:45] That.

[00:32:45] Didn't quite live up to the hype.

[00:32:47] Is this game though.

[00:32:49] Texas and Texas A&M.

[00:32:50] First time in 13 years.

[00:32:52] I'm not a dud of a game.

[00:32:54] But you know.

[00:32:54] I think Texas just kind of smothered the A&M offense.

[00:32:57] They did.

[00:32:57] Yeah.

[00:32:58] A&M had a couple chances.

[00:32:59] A real big chance late.

[00:33:01] Fourth.

[00:33:01] And you know.

[00:33:02] They got down the goal line stand by the Longhorns.

[00:33:06] Yeah.

[00:33:06] A&M had a chance to cut it to a one score game.

[00:33:10] Interesting decision.

[00:33:11] They tried to go for the touchdown.

[00:33:12] They needed.

[00:33:13] They were down 10 anyway.

[00:33:14] So they needed a field goal in there.

[00:33:16] Yeah.

[00:33:16] Maybe.

[00:33:16] You know.

[00:33:17] Maybe you decide to kick field goal there.

[00:33:18] But.

[00:33:19] I understand also trying to line up and.

[00:33:22] Right.

[00:33:23] But man.

[00:33:23] Texas line blew that play up.

[00:33:26] Yeah.

[00:33:27] What I don't like in those situations is that single back.

[00:33:32] No.

[00:33:32] Because I always like the.

[00:33:34] If you're going to line up.

[00:33:35] Try to power football on the one.

[00:33:37] Get a lead blocker back there.

[00:33:40] Exactly.

[00:33:41] Or two tight ends or something.

[00:33:44] Yeah.

[00:33:45] So.

[00:33:46] Yeah.

[00:33:47] I mean.

[00:33:47] The game kind of disappointing.

[00:33:49] I mean.

[00:33:52] Really.

[00:33:53] I mean.

[00:33:53] If anything.

[00:33:56] You were.

[00:33:57] Trying to keep.

[00:33:58] Clint.

[00:33:59] You were.

[00:33:59] Trying to keep A&M in the game.

[00:34:00] With some of his stuff.

[00:34:02] Yeah.

[00:34:03] Right.

[00:34:03] The.

[00:34:04] The pick six.

[00:34:05] And he had the fumble.

[00:34:07] And then.

[00:34:07] You know.

[00:34:08] He tried.

[00:34:08] He did a lot to try to keep A&M in the game.

[00:34:11] Honestly.

[00:34:12] Because I mean.

[00:34:12] A&M's offense.

[00:34:14] Didn't do anything.

[00:34:15] Not his best game.

[00:34:17] We saw a little Archman.

[00:34:18] With a nice touchdown run there.

[00:34:20] For them.

[00:34:22] Yeah.

[00:34:22] A&M's offense.

[00:34:23] Was not doing.

[00:34:24] A whole lot.

[00:34:26] Just squandering opportunities.

[00:34:27] A tough.

[00:34:28] You know.

[00:34:28] It's.

[00:34:28] You know.

[00:34:29] Young quarterback there.

[00:34:30] They'll get there.

[00:34:31] It's another program.

[00:34:32] I think they got the right coach there.

[00:34:34] Yeah.

[00:34:34] I think so.

[00:34:35] And obviously.

[00:34:36] We know they have the resources.

[00:34:37] And they're willing to spin.

[00:34:39] Right.

[00:34:40] Talent.

[00:34:40] But Texas is win.

[00:34:42] Sends into the SEC title game.

[00:34:44] They'll get a rematch.

[00:34:44] With Georgia.

[00:34:45] As they try to avenge their loss.

[00:34:47] From earlier in the year.

[00:34:48] Very interesting.

[00:34:50] Another team.

[00:34:50] Yeah.

[00:34:51] First year in the conference.

[00:34:52] In fact.

[00:34:52] All powerful conferences.

[00:34:54] A first year team.

[00:34:56] Will be playing for the conference title.

[00:34:58] That's interesting.

[00:34:59] Yeah.

[00:35:00] It's crazy.

[00:35:01] Moving on.

[00:35:03] One that's not a rivalry.

[00:35:05] But a big upset.

[00:35:06] Nonetheless.

[00:35:06] Miami goes into Syracuse.

[00:35:08] And blows a 21 to nothing lead.

[00:35:10] In their chance.

[00:35:12] To win an ACC title.

[00:35:14] Finally.

[00:35:14] Still not going to happen.

[00:35:17] Yeah.

[00:35:18] This is crazy to think.

[00:35:19] You know.

[00:35:19] A program like Miami.

[00:35:20] Is now gone over 20 years.

[00:35:22] Without a conference title.

[00:35:24] Yeah.

[00:35:25] I'm thinking what.

[00:35:26] Only one appearance in the game.

[00:35:28] Yeah.

[00:35:29] I think so.

[00:35:30] I think they had that game against Clemson.

[00:35:32] And then they got dog walked.

[00:35:34] Yeah.

[00:35:35] But.

[00:35:36] Great win for Syracuse.

[00:35:37] Good first year.

[00:35:38] Or a good year for them.

[00:35:39] They're nine and three.

[00:35:41] Hell of a season.

[00:35:43] Yeah.

[00:35:43] Hell of a season there.

[00:35:44] Not much expected of them.

[00:35:47] Funny enough.

[00:35:49] Ohio State could have probably used Kyle McCord yesterday.

[00:35:52] Yeah.

[00:35:53] Yeah.

[00:35:54] Yeah.

[00:35:55] Great season for that kid.

[00:35:56] After you know.

[00:35:57] Being aligned.

[00:35:58] Is not good enough to play at Ohio State.

[00:36:00] Goes to Syracuse.

[00:36:01] Has a great season.

[00:36:02] What's up?

[00:36:03] Huge upset.

[00:36:05] Yeah.

[00:36:05] Yeah.

[00:36:06] Joking with the coach.

[00:36:07] Syracuse.

[00:36:07] Coach after the game in his post-game interview.

[00:36:10] Saying.

[00:36:10] Dabo.

[00:36:11] You're welcome.

[00:36:12] Basically.

[00:36:12] Because.

[00:36:13] Yeah.

[00:36:13] You know.

[00:36:14] Clemson.

[00:36:15] Granted they played a non-conference game yesterday.

[00:36:17] But.

[00:36:18] They lost.

[00:36:19] At home.

[00:36:20] To.

[00:36:21] Arch rival.

[00:36:22] South Carolina.

[00:36:23] Late one.

[00:36:23] Lenore Sellers.

[00:36:24] Big touchdown run in the end.

[00:36:26] And then.

[00:36:27] That South Carolina defense gets a big pick.

[00:36:30] To seal it.

[00:36:31] Yeah.

[00:36:32] Yeah.

[00:36:32] Two wins in a row now.

[00:36:34] And Clemson.

[00:36:35] Yeah.

[00:36:35] That's crazy.

[00:36:38] But.

[00:36:39] That.

[00:36:41] That.

[00:36:42] Upset.

[00:36:43] Though.

[00:36:43] Leaves the door open.

[00:36:45] Clemson now will play SMU.

[00:36:46] As we mentioned.

[00:36:48] So.

[00:36:49] Or the ACC.

[00:36:50] Yeah.

[00:36:50] Now your question.

[00:36:52] After that game.

[00:36:53] Though.

[00:36:53] Is.

[00:36:54] Now your question.

[00:36:54] Is Miami worthy of a playoff spot.

[00:36:56] Because they.

[00:36:58] You know.

[00:36:58] They got the two losses.

[00:36:59] They don't.

[00:37:00] They don't have much work.

[00:37:01] Unfortunately.

[00:37:02] They don't have much working for them.

[00:37:03] Because they don't have any big wins.

[00:37:05] They have no big wins.

[00:37:07] On the schedule.

[00:37:07] Their best win is probably Florida.

[00:37:10] I guess.

[00:37:10] Yeah.

[00:37:10] As good as Florida.

[00:37:12] Maybe Duke.

[00:37:13] You could say.

[00:37:15] Yeah.

[00:37:15] You know.

[00:37:16] They have wins over Florida.

[00:37:18] Who.

[00:37:18] You know.

[00:37:18] That.

[00:37:18] That became a good win.

[00:37:20] Later in the year.

[00:37:20] But that.

[00:37:21] That early Florida team.

[00:37:22] That was.

[00:37:22] That's terrible.

[00:37:23] Obviously not the same team.

[00:37:25] Not the same team.

[00:37:26] Anyway.

[00:37:27] Duke's a nine and three team.

[00:37:28] You know.

[00:37:28] So that's a.

[00:37:28] That's a good win.

[00:37:30] Win at Louisville.

[00:37:31] It's not going to.

[00:37:32] But that.

[00:37:33] But.

[00:37:34] Duke and Louisville win.

[00:37:36] I mean.

[00:37:36] Louisville fell off a little bit.

[00:37:38] Mm-hmm.

[00:37:39] And I mean.

[00:37:40] You got to look at it too.

[00:37:42] I mean.

[00:37:43] I guess really.

[00:37:44] The only thing that they have going for them.

[00:37:48] Excuse me.

[00:37:49] They have.

[00:37:50] The only way that they somehow.

[00:37:52] Get into the playoff.

[00:37:54] Is.

[00:37:55] Of course.

[00:37:55] SMU.

[00:37:57] They have to be the biggest SMU fans.

[00:38:00] Mm-hmm.

[00:38:00] Because.

[00:38:01] Then of course.

[00:38:02] Clemson's out.

[00:38:03] So that.

[00:38:03] You know.

[00:38:03] Leaves.

[00:38:04] That spot.

[00:38:06] And you know.

[00:38:06] Then they're going up against the SEC.

[00:38:08] I would say probably.

[00:38:09] You know.

[00:38:09] Alabama.

[00:38:10] South Carolina.

[00:38:11] No miss.

[00:38:12] They don't have a chance really.

[00:38:13] But.

[00:38:14] I.

[00:38:15] You know.

[00:38:15] They didn't play anybody.

[00:38:16] For real.

[00:38:18] So.

[00:38:19] Not.

[00:38:20] Nothing of their own.

[00:38:21] But I mean.

[00:38:22] I mean.

[00:38:23] I mean.

[00:38:24] They can't help the schedule.

[00:38:25] But at the same time.

[00:38:26] I mean.

[00:38:26] The games that they lost.

[00:38:27] It's just.

[00:38:29] Games of championship teams.

[00:38:31] Can't lose.

[00:38:32] Both of them.

[00:38:33] One.

[00:38:34] Yeah.

[00:38:34] Is okay.

[00:38:35] Both.

[00:38:35] It's not a.

[00:38:36] Not a good look.

[00:38:38] No.

[00:38:39] Yeah.

[00:38:39] Not.

[00:38:39] Not at all.

[00:38:40] Especially when you had leads in both the games.

[00:38:42] I mean.

[00:38:43] You had.

[00:38:43] We're up 21-0 yesterday.

[00:38:45] Mm-hmm.

[00:38:46] And then you had.

[00:38:47] The.

[00:38:48] They had the leading of Georgia Tech too.

[00:38:50] No.

[00:38:51] They never.

[00:38:52] They just had a.

[00:38:53] They were fighting from behind against Georgia Tech.

[00:38:55] They had a.

[00:38:56] They had an early lead.

[00:38:58] I think like a three-point lead in that game.

[00:39:00] But yeah.

[00:39:00] The second half.

[00:39:01] They never led in the second half.

[00:39:03] They had to try to come back.

[00:39:04] But still.

[00:39:05] Yeah.

[00:39:05] That's not.

[00:39:05] You gotta win one.

[00:39:06] You at least gotta win one of those.

[00:39:08] Yeah.

[00:39:09] It's not good to lose two of your last three games.

[00:39:11] You don't get to play for a conference title now.

[00:39:13] No.

[00:39:13] You really don't have any.

[00:39:15] Anything to stand on.

[00:39:18] I mean really the only thing you have to stand on is you have one of the best quarterbacks

[00:39:21] in the country.

[00:39:22] Now if the committee wants to have them.

[00:39:24] That's really your biggest argument.

[00:39:25] It's hey.

[00:39:26] People might want to see Cameron Ward a few more times.

[00:39:28] At least one more time.

[00:39:30] Yeah.

[00:39:30] I don't know what other argument they really have.

[00:39:35] Yeah.

[00:39:35] They were number six in last week's college football playoff ranking.

[00:39:39] So we'll see how the committee drops on Tuesday.

[00:39:42] And we'll see.

[00:39:42] Yeah.

[00:39:43] Because yeah.

[00:39:43] There wasn't enough noise around them.

[00:39:46] No.

[00:39:47] To.

[00:39:50] Excuse me.

[00:39:51] That's crazy.

[00:39:53] It's that time of year.

[00:39:56] But yeah.

[00:39:57] There really wasn't that much.

[00:39:58] It's not like a bunch of teams behind them lost too.

[00:40:01] So they're.

[00:40:02] They're.

[00:40:02] You know.

[00:40:02] Oh.

[00:40:03] Okay.

[00:40:03] So you know.

[00:40:03] No.

[00:40:04] That's.

[00:40:04] You know.

[00:40:05] Nobody really behind them.

[00:40:07] In fact.

[00:40:08] Clemson's the only team.

[00:40:11] Really behind them that lost.

[00:40:12] If you go down that rankings.

[00:40:14] You know.

[00:40:15] And we were six last week behind them.

[00:40:17] Georgia winner.

[00:40:17] Tennessee winner.

[00:40:18] Good win for them.

[00:40:19] At Vanderbilt.

[00:40:22] Nico played.

[00:40:22] Maybe his best game of the year.

[00:40:25] SMU winner.

[00:40:26] Indiana winner.

[00:40:27] Boise State.

[00:40:27] Winner.

[00:40:28] Clemson lost.

[00:40:29] Alabama winner.

[00:40:30] Ole Miss winner.

[00:40:30] South Carolina winner.

[00:40:31] Arizona State.

[00:40:32] Big winner.

[00:40:33] Going to the big 12 title game.

[00:40:35] Yeah.

[00:40:35] They had no.

[00:40:36] They got no help.

[00:40:37] And they didn't did themselves no.

[00:40:40] Yeah.

[00:40:40] You don't see another loser in those rankings.

[00:40:42] And you know.

[00:40:43] Except.

[00:40:44] Until you get to Tulane at 17.

[00:40:46] Yeah.

[00:40:46] Beside that Clemson.

[00:40:48] Yeah.

[00:40:48] So.

[00:40:49] It was not a good week to lose.

[00:40:51] Especially in that situation.

[00:40:54] So yeah.

[00:40:54] So it's going to be interesting.

[00:40:56] Those rankings on Tuesday.

[00:40:57] Will set us up.

[00:40:58] Very much right.

[00:40:59] For conference title week.

[00:41:00] What else do I have?

[00:41:01] I guess.

[00:41:02] Any other rivalry games you want to talk about before we go on to next week?

[00:41:06] Conference.

[00:41:06] Let me think.

[00:41:11] I mean.

[00:41:13] I mean.

[00:41:15] I don't know.

[00:41:15] I mean everything else kind of.

[00:41:17] I mean.

[00:41:17] I wasn't happy for a little bit when Vanderbilt jumped out 14 real fast.

[00:41:21] I was like.

[00:41:22] Well.

[00:41:23] And then.

[00:41:24] Tennessee kind of woke up.

[00:41:25] And that was the end of that.

[00:41:27] But.

[00:41:27] Yeah.

[00:41:28] With that 14.

[00:41:30] Other than that.

[00:41:31] I mean.

[00:41:33] It was a wild day.

[00:41:35] I guess the big 12.

[00:41:36] We always love to talk about them.

[00:41:37] Just a wild day.

[00:41:38] And deciding.

[00:41:39] Wild weekend really.

[00:41:40] And deciding who.

[00:41:42] I mean.

[00:41:42] Went all the way to the last game.

[00:41:44] As we said it would.

[00:41:46] Colorado set the stage early on Friday.

[00:41:49] With a big 52 nothing win over Oklahoma State.

[00:41:53] And then.

[00:41:53] I don't know.

[00:41:54] I don't know if you caught any of those.

[00:41:55] But did you see like the flow charts that people made to.

[00:41:59] You know.

[00:41:59] Tell you who needed to win what game.

[00:42:02] To get what.

[00:42:02] It was insane.

[00:42:04] Yeah.

[00:42:05] Different combinations out there.

[00:42:07] Yeah.

[00:42:07] And like you said.

[00:42:08] It got down to the end last night.

[00:42:09] Where Arizona State had clinched their spot.

[00:42:13] And it got down to the Houston BYU game.

[00:42:15] If Houston had won.

[00:42:16] Colorado would have been there.

[00:42:17] And BYU won.

[00:42:20] And Iowa State made it.

[00:42:21] And BYU did win.

[00:42:22] Iowa State is now in it.

[00:42:24] Iowa State.

[00:42:25] Arizona State.

[00:42:26] Arizona State.

[00:42:27] Not a matchup.

[00:42:28] I don't think a lot of people had.

[00:42:30] Iowa State.

[00:42:31] You know.

[00:42:31] They've been there.

[00:42:32] I think they had a little bit of.

[00:42:33] I mean.

[00:42:34] There was a little talk about them at the start of the year.

[00:42:37] Definitely no love for.

[00:42:39] You know.

[00:42:40] Arizona State.

[00:42:40] I mean.

[00:42:41] What Kenny Dillingham did.

[00:42:44] I mean.

[00:42:45] To go from three and nine.

[00:42:47] To nine and three.

[00:42:49] I mean.

[00:42:49] Just an epic.

[00:42:50] Epic.

[00:42:51] Coaching job.

[00:42:53] You know.

[00:42:54] I think it's going to come down to him.

[00:42:55] Or Signetti.

[00:42:56] For coach of the year.

[00:42:59] But then.

[00:42:59] There's.

[00:43:00] You know.

[00:43:00] Situation he entered in.

[00:43:01] I mean.

[00:43:02] Because.

[00:43:03] With their.

[00:43:04] All their issues.

[00:43:05] After.

[00:43:06] The last coaching staff.

[00:43:08] I mean.

[00:43:08] Basically.

[00:43:09] They're saying.

[00:43:10] Hey.

[00:43:10] You went here.

[00:43:12] You know.

[00:43:12] You like the program.

[00:43:13] So we're going to give you the job.

[00:43:15] But.

[00:43:15] It's a.

[00:43:16] It's a train wreck.

[00:43:17] You know.

[00:43:18] Herm Edwards.

[00:43:18] And then left it in a horrible spot.

[00:43:21] You know.

[00:43:22] NCAA sanctions.

[00:43:23] All types of craziness.

[00:43:25] And.

[00:43:25] You know.

[00:43:26] He just came in.

[00:43:27] And embraced it.

[00:43:28] And.

[00:43:29] You know.

[00:43:30] Yeah.

[00:43:30] On the verge of.

[00:43:31] Best of luck to you man.

[00:43:33] We hope you do good.

[00:43:33] But.

[00:43:34] A lot of people had them picked.

[00:43:36] Toward the.

[00:43:37] You know.

[00:43:37] If not last.

[00:43:39] Toward the bottom.

[00:43:39] Yeah.

[00:43:40] Them and BYU were at the bottom.

[00:43:42] Them.

[00:43:42] BYU.

[00:43:43] Houston.

[00:43:43] Yeah.

[00:43:44] Now.

[00:43:44] You know.

[00:43:44] They're.

[00:43:45] In Colorado.

[00:43:46] You know.

[00:43:46] Not a lot of faith in Colorado.

[00:43:48] So.

[00:43:48] No.

[00:43:49] They were four and eight last year.

[00:43:51] And.

[00:43:51] You know.

[00:43:52] Right there.

[00:43:54] Yeah.

[00:43:55] So.

[00:43:55] I mean.

[00:43:55] Great season.

[00:43:56] Like you said.

[00:43:57] Great season.

[00:43:57] And they finished in style yesterday too.

[00:43:59] Just absolutely kicked the shit out of Arizona.

[00:44:02] And you know.

[00:44:02] That was a game.

[00:44:03] A lot of people were kind of wondering.

[00:44:05] Man.

[00:44:05] You know.

[00:44:06] Could play spoiler here.

[00:44:08] You know.

[00:44:08] Is Arizona State.

[00:44:10] You know.

[00:44:11] Super excited about what they did the week prior.

[00:44:13] They're feeling themselves.

[00:44:15] And nope.

[00:44:15] Not a chance.

[00:44:16] Kenny Dillingham had his boys ready to go.

[00:44:19] Shut that down.

[00:44:20] They planted the pitchfork.

[00:44:23] You know.

[00:44:24] Actually.

[00:44:24] You know.

[00:44:24] We haven't even talked about all these different photos.

[00:44:26] We didn't even talk about the Ohio State Michigan fight at the end of that game.

[00:44:29] Man.

[00:44:29] That.

[00:44:30] That was wild.

[00:44:32] First of all.

[00:44:33] Yeah.

[00:44:34] You know.

[00:44:35] The pepper.

[00:44:35] I guess.

[00:44:36] The other.

[00:44:37] We could talk about Florida State.

[00:44:38] Florida too.

[00:44:39] I mean.

[00:44:39] That's a rivalry game.

[00:44:40] You know.

[00:44:41] The hatred in that rivalry game.

[00:44:44] Probably.

[00:44:45] Probably my favorite are the Florida rivalries.

[00:44:48] Because I think it's.

[00:44:49] I think it's more intense than even Florida State.

[00:44:51] Miami.

[00:44:52] Mm-hmm.

[00:44:53] I don't know.

[00:44:54] There's a certain hate when those two get together.

[00:44:57] Um.

[00:44:58] And we saw that.

[00:44:59] We saw the flag thing there too.

[00:45:01] Planting that flag.

[00:45:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:45:03] Yeah.

[00:45:04] But like some people have said.

[00:45:05] You know.

[00:45:06] If people had as much energy during the game as they did trying to protect their 50 yard line

[00:45:10] from getting flagged.

[00:45:11] maybe they could have won the game.

[00:45:15] Right, yeah, if you brought that in, Jay.

[00:45:16] And then even I think Steve Sarkeesian stopped his players

[00:45:20] from playing it at Texas A&M.

[00:45:23] But I did see something funny online, you know,

[00:45:25] I guess his comments were, you know, we're not about that, blah, blah, blah.

[00:45:29] And someone pointed out that Texas players playing the dare flag

[00:45:32] at the Michigan 50 earlier in the season.

[00:45:35] So, yeah, granted it's a little different.

[00:45:39] But, yeah, crazy.

[00:45:40] So you look at the final Big 12 Conference stand-ins,

[00:45:43] you know, it's that four-way tie, but it's Arizona State, BYU, Iowa State, Colorado.

[00:45:48] No one had that.

[00:45:51] No, absolutely.

[00:45:52] And then you had the teams like Utah and Arizona

[00:45:54] who a lot of people thought would be in that race.

[00:45:58] Oklahoma State, a lot of people are high on terrible season.

[00:46:01] 0-9 in comp, just, man.

[00:46:05] They went to the Big 12 title game last year.

[00:46:07] Mike Gundy's got some work to do there apparently

[00:46:10] because I don't know what happened there.

[00:46:12] I don't know where it went wrong, but it went very south real quick.

[00:46:16] Very wrong, yeah.

[00:46:19] And an interesting one here, UCF, 2-7 in conference for an eight-year.

[00:46:24] Gus Malzahn leaving UCF to go be offensive coordinator in Tallahassee.

[00:46:30] That's what it's going to say.

[00:46:34] Now, granted, we've seen what a dangerous, you know, offense, you know,

[00:46:38] when he calls plays, when he can focus on that.

[00:46:40] Had he been calling to play?

[00:46:41] Was he the calling to play the UCF, though?

[00:46:44] I'm confused by that.

[00:46:45] I thought, you know, I would assume he would be

[00:46:47] because he's not really the type of guy to give it up, but maybe not.

[00:46:50] But I'm saying, you know, they had problems beyond.

[00:46:53] Right.

[00:46:54] They did, but I'm saying the offense wasn't very –

[00:46:57] they had the one impressive game where they put up points on –

[00:47:01] you know, they had to come back against TCU

[00:47:03] and they put up a boatload of yards and stuff.

[00:47:05] Outside of that, K.J. Jefferson at UCF didn't go nearly as great

[00:47:10] as what I thought it was going to be.

[00:47:11] I thought Gus was really going to use that.

[00:47:13] And I know he battled some injuries, I think, this year, I guess.

[00:47:16] But, yeah, they started out 3-0 and then ended their season losing, you know,

[00:47:21] eight of nine.

[00:47:22] Dude, after they got blown out by Colorado, their season fell apart.

[00:47:27] Yeah, yeah, they ended up losses to –

[00:47:29] and granted, it was kind of a tough schedule, but even then, you know,

[00:47:33] they lost at Florida, which, okay, you know, lost to Cincinnati,

[00:47:38] lost at Iowa State, okay, lost to BYU, and now, you know, what we know now,

[00:47:42] like, oh, okay, yeah.

[00:47:43] Yeah, you mentioned that, you know, they put 56 on Arizona

[00:47:47] and you thought maybe, okay, maybe they'll finish this season strong,

[00:47:51] get to a bowl.

[00:47:53] No, you know, after that, loss at Arizona State, loss at West Virginia,

[00:47:56] and then, of course, the loss to Utah this weekend.

[00:48:00] Yeah, so –

[00:48:01] And I don't, like, I don't know, like, if I'm Florida State, is that –

[00:48:06] I don't know that – I guess some of the people are excited.

[00:48:09] I mean, I've seen some of their fans are excited about it,

[00:48:11] but I'm thinking they're thinking, like, 20 –

[00:48:14] I mean, but –

[00:48:16] I mean, there's no –

[00:48:19] Cam Newton isn't coming through that door.

[00:48:21] It's a very –

[00:48:22] Yeah, it's a very specific type of offense he needs.

[00:48:27] Now, it makes you wonder, you know, is Castellanos going to Tallahassee?

[00:48:35] You know, the Boston College guy, he would fit that style.

[00:48:39] Yeah, you got to – yeah, the transfer portal is going to be interesting this year.

[00:48:44] I'll tell you another name.

[00:48:47] I'll tell you who I think, and I hate to think it,

[00:48:51] but a guy that would probably thrive in a Gus Malzahn offense

[00:48:57] that utilizes his strengths right, Jalen Milrow.

[00:49:03] He would.

[00:49:04] Yeah, and somebody pointed that out.

[00:49:06] Some Florida State fan was like, come to Tallahassee, Jalen.

[00:49:10] Now, that's it.

[00:49:11] Because, you know, there was a lot of talk that yesterday was his last game in Tuscaloosa.

[00:49:16] And as we go to the playoff, whether that be he goes to the NFL or he transfers,

[00:49:22] yeah, I just think just for everything to happen, yeah, it's kind of the end.

[00:49:26] And so, yeah, I mean, that would be crazy considering they're on the schedule next year.

[00:49:32] That would be a story in itself.

[00:49:34] That would be.

[00:49:35] Now, that said, he is getting a lot of good grades from NFL scouts.

[00:49:39] I think Miller Kuyper has him as his third best QB.

[00:49:43] I saw a mock last week that had him going to late first round pick.

[00:49:48] And they specifically said in there that a lot of NFL scouts love his potential

[00:49:53] and love his, you know, potential for his talent.

[00:49:56] You know, the NFL loves drafting based on potential.

[00:49:59] We saw Anthony Richardson go number three.

[00:50:01] I mean, if Anthony Richardson go high, Milrow could definitely go high.

[00:50:05] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:50:06] Yeah, they're selling in half of what Milrow's done.

[00:50:09] Exactly.

[00:50:09] And, you know, there are definitely legitimate criticisms of Jalen Milrow in his game.

[00:50:15] You know, his accuracy, his ability to read defenses.

[00:50:18] But his tape looks a lot better than Anthony Richardson's Florida tape ever looked.

[00:50:23] Oh, absolutely.

[00:50:25] I mean, it's been – let's just say it's been way worse first round draft picks

[00:50:31] than what someone could do with Jalen Milrow.

[00:50:35] Exactly.

[00:50:36] Especially, yeah, if you're late round guy team, you get him

[00:50:41] and he has a couple years to learn under a veteran quarterback.

[00:50:44] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:50:45] Absolutely.

[00:50:46] So that would be interesting to see, his decision.

[00:50:49] Now, honestly, I love Jalen, but if I'm an NFL guy, I'm not – I wouldn't – he's not a –

[00:50:57] I wouldn't – you know, unless you have someone that's sitting there

[00:51:00] that he can learn under for a couple years.

[00:51:03] Mm-hmm.

[00:51:05] Absolutely.

[00:51:05] Absolutely.

[00:51:06] But if you're looking for your franchise guy right now, good luck.

[00:51:10] No, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:51:11] He's more of an Aaron Rodgers type situation.

[00:51:14] Oh, yeah.

[00:51:14] You draft him.

[00:51:15] You let him learn under someone for a couple years.

[00:51:19] Absolutely.

[00:51:20] Yeah.

[00:51:20] Yeah, but I will say the one last thing on Jalen.

[00:51:24] With his game and, too, yeah, if we're playing NFL, you know, GM or whatever,

[00:51:29] a famous quote Mike Leach once said – of course, we know he knows quarterbacks.

[00:51:36] He said, you can teach a quarterback just about everything.

[00:51:39] You can coach him up.

[00:51:40] You can train him.

[00:51:41] You can get him in the weight room, et cetera.

[00:51:42] The one thing you can't really teach a guy is accuracy.

[00:51:49] He's like, you know, quarterbacks are either accurate or they're not.

[00:51:52] So that's one thing interesting to see.

[00:51:54] But whatever Jalen does, I wish him all the best, of course.

[00:51:59] It will be interesting to see.

[00:52:01] Obviously, if Alabama makes a playoff, you got Jalen's your guy.

[00:52:04] But if they miss out and they go to a bowl, I think that is interesting to see.

[00:52:09] Maybe Ty Simpson has a chance to audition for next year.

[00:52:12] Yeah.

[00:52:13] Absolutely.

[00:52:14] And, yeah, I mean, I think we'll have an interesting QB battle next year

[00:52:18] because no matter how it goes, I think Jalen's done in Tuscaloosa.

[00:52:23] So that would be very interesting because we have a lot of names out there.

[00:52:27] But, yeah, we will see how it goes.

[00:52:32] Absolutely.

[00:52:32] But, yeah, let's go real quick just some other results this week.

[00:52:37] We mentioned Tulane Thursday night lost to Memphis.

[00:52:39] I was a shocker.

[00:52:40] It was – doesn't really change much.

[00:52:45] I guess it probably – well, not really because if Boise State loses to UNLV

[00:52:51] and Tulane wins the American, they might – would maybe pass them

[00:52:56] as the highest ranked, you know, group of five conference champion.

[00:53:01] I would have thought that would be UNLV.

[00:53:03] Maybe, yeah.

[00:53:04] I don't know what the – let's see here real quick.

[00:53:07] I think I have the rankings pulled up.

[00:53:12] Here we go.

[00:53:12] Here we go.

[00:53:14] Last week –

[00:53:16] What is UNLV's loss?

[00:53:19] Tulane was 17th.

[00:53:21] UNLV was 22nd last week.

[00:53:23] So, right now, Tulane is five spots ahead of UNLV.

[00:53:26] Now, how that changes this week with the loss remains to be seen.

[00:53:30] But, yeah, that's one thing interesting.

[00:53:32] Speaking of Boise, they had no problem with – who did they put?

[00:53:38] Oregon State.

[00:53:39] Ashton Gentry, another 200-plus yard game.

[00:53:42] He is –

[00:53:42] They made sure he got it.

[00:53:44] Mm-hmm.

[00:53:45] 37 carries.

[00:53:46] Ooh, man.

[00:53:47] Work, work.

[00:53:49] Egg Bowl, weird, you know, daytime Black Friday game.

[00:53:53] But Ole Miss gets their second-strike Egg Bowl, 12-point win.

[00:53:58] I picked the over in this one, and I thought it was looking great

[00:54:02] after that first quarter.

[00:54:04] And then –

[00:54:04] And they sat on it.

[00:54:06] Yeah.

[00:54:07] It was weird because I would have thought of anything,

[00:54:08] Ole Miss is going to try to put up stop points

[00:54:11] because they want to do everything they can.

[00:54:13] I don't know if they just sat on it because, you know,

[00:54:15] of his relationship with the Mississippi State quarterback,

[00:54:19] Wayne and him have a good relationship.

[00:54:22] Maybe he was being nice.

[00:54:23] I don't know.

[00:54:24] But I would have thought Ole Miss would have tried to just do everything

[00:54:28] they could to blow them out.

[00:54:31] Yeah.

[00:54:32] But, yeah, and surprisingly, that one wasn't that chippy.

[00:54:38] Is that, you know, it can be.

[00:54:39] Because I think because a lot of it, a lot of those people,

[00:54:43] a lot of people on both teams transferred in there.

[00:54:46] That's true.

[00:54:47] So, I don't know if they, you know, it's not your Mississippi,

[00:54:51] Mississippi State teams in the past so much anymore.

[00:54:56] I mean, there's going to be some.

[00:54:58] But, I mean, it seems like there was a lot of transfers on both sides

[00:55:02] that we don't necessarily aren't built on the hate.

[00:55:06] Now, your second goal, you know, if you're coming back next year,

[00:55:10] it could be a little different.

[00:55:14] Yeah, that's one.

[00:55:17] I love that game.

[00:55:19] Get it back to Thursday night, please.

[00:55:22] Exactly.

[00:55:22] Do it for our girl Mallory, man.

[00:55:24] She is mad.

[00:55:25] You know, she said that's her Thanksgiving tradition.

[00:55:27] Eat Thanksgiving dinner at the tailgate, have a ball that night.

[00:55:30] It's the perfect game to watch at night after, you know,

[00:55:33] stuff full of turkey and all that.

[00:55:36] And you had your second round.

[00:55:39] And then, you know.

[00:55:40] It's a second round, no dessert action.

[00:55:43] Watch the egg bowl.

[00:55:44] Perfect way to end your Thanksgiving night.

[00:55:47] Absolutely.

[00:55:48] Yeah, it's great.

[00:55:49] Let's see elsewhere.

[00:55:50] Oregon took care of business against rival Washington.

[00:55:54] Let's see.

[00:55:55] Penn State just blew out Maryland.

[00:55:57] And then, thanks to that Ohio State loss,

[00:56:00] Penn State will now play Oregon in the Big Ten game.

[00:56:04] Notre Dame, impressive win at USC.

[00:56:08] Big second half.

[00:56:10] Yeah.

[00:56:12] You know, it's tied kind of late.

[00:56:14] And then two pick sixes late in that game for the Irish.

[00:56:18] They're really looking strong.

[00:56:20] They are.

[00:56:21] They got to be the fifth seed.

[00:56:23] I don't know who else could be that right there, but.

[00:56:27] Absolutely.

[00:56:29] I mean, I don't think anybody even has an argument.

[00:56:33] Because, I mean.

[00:56:33] Yeah.

[00:56:34] They've been just a dominant team.

[00:56:41] Yeah.

[00:56:43] Let's see.

[00:56:44] SMU took care of California.

[00:56:46] Indiana.

[00:56:47] Big 66-0 win over Purdue.

[00:56:49] And Purdue fired the coach.

[00:56:51] Yeah.

[00:56:52] Purdue did, yeah.

[00:56:53] Let their coach go.

[00:56:54] Tough year for them.

[00:56:55] 1-11.

[00:56:56] 0-9.

[00:56:57] Big 10.

[00:56:58] I mentioned Iowa State is going to the Big 12 title games.

[00:57:03] Because they won Formageddon.

[00:57:04] Beat Kansas State.

[00:57:06] Such a funny name.

[00:57:07] Yeah.

[00:57:08] First 10-win season in school history, surprisingly.

[00:57:12] Which now leaves, I think, Vanderbilt as the only power conference team

[00:57:16] never to have a 10-win season.

[00:57:18] But that's wild, though, to think about.

[00:57:21] That they've never in their history have had 10 wins.

[00:57:27] Yeah.

[00:57:28] See, Missouri beat Arkansas by a touchdown.

[00:57:34] Yeah, they came down to the last and it was snowing.

[00:57:37] Yeah.

[00:57:38] Unless Marksall fans are pissed about to play going.

[00:57:41] Thank you.

[00:57:42] Oh, yeah.

[00:57:44] Yeah, I don't.

[00:57:45] You know, I think Sam Pittman's probably safe.

[00:57:47] But, you know.

[00:57:49] Because he got to six.

[00:57:51] Bold game.

[00:57:52] But, again, I think, you know, I don't think next year they're going to be

[00:57:56] better than that.

[00:57:58] Yeah, absolutely.

[00:57:59] For sure.

[00:58:02] UNLV clinched their spot.

[00:58:04] Big win.

[00:58:04] Easy win over Nevada.

[00:58:06] And then Illinois.

[00:58:07] A win over rival Northwestern.

[00:58:10] That rounds out top 25.

[00:58:11] But let's go to next week, as we mentioned.

[00:58:14] Conference Championship week.

[00:58:15] Another great week.

[00:58:16] You have.

[00:58:18] I'm going to list these in order that they happen.

[00:58:20] Three on Friday night.

[00:58:22] Three on Friday night.

[00:58:24] You got Conference USA title.

[00:58:25] Western Kentucky and Jacksonville State.

[00:58:29] I believe those two have played each other.

[00:58:33] This year.

[00:58:39] I want to say they played like just a week ago or something like that.

[00:58:43] I think they did.

[00:58:44] Let's see.

[00:58:44] Jacksonville State schedule.

[00:58:46] Let's see.

[00:58:46] I got that right.

[00:58:48] Here's what's coming up.

[00:58:50] They did indeed.

[00:58:51] They played Leah.

[00:58:52] Yeah.

[00:58:52] 1917.

[00:58:53] Washington Kentucky won.

[00:58:55] Yeah.

[00:58:56] Was that this weekend, actually?

[00:58:58] It was.

[00:59:00] Yeah, it was.

[00:59:00] It happened this weekend.

[00:59:02] Yeah.

[00:59:03] Yeah.

[00:59:04] 1917 victory.

[00:59:05] So that would be a rematch then next week.

[00:59:08] A rematch by the way.

[00:59:09] I believe it will be in.

[00:59:15] It'll be out.

[00:59:17] It'll be in Jacksonville.

[00:59:19] Oh, yeah.

[00:59:21] So they.

[00:59:22] Better record there.

[00:59:25] Got the Mountain West title game.

[00:59:30] I was about to say, they're playing a bowling green again.

[00:59:32] That'd be crazy.

[00:59:33] Yeah.

[00:59:37] In Jacksonville, Alabama.

[00:59:40] The Mountain West Championship.

[00:59:42] UNLV and Boise State.

[00:59:43] That would be on the blue turf up there in Boise.

[00:59:46] Should be a good one.

[00:59:48] And then also Friday night, the American championship game.

[00:59:53] Thanks to Tulane's loss, that game will be in West Point.

[00:59:57] The blanks of the Hudson.

[00:59:59] Should be a good setting for that game.

[01:00:02] Talking about chilly for those Tulane guys.

[01:00:06] Yeah.

[01:00:07] Yeah.

[01:00:07] Definitely a different atmosphere for them.

[01:00:13] And then you go into Saturday.

[01:00:16] Kicks off with the Big 12 championship game.

[01:00:18] Iowa State, Arizona State.

[01:00:20] Man, that's going to be fun.

[01:00:21] That's going to be a good game.

[01:00:23] Yeah.

[01:00:23] Two completely different teams.

[01:00:25] Yeah.

[01:00:25] Yeah.

[01:00:28] The MAAC title game, same time.

[01:00:30] 11 next week.

[01:00:31] Ohio and Miami of Ohio.

[01:00:33] Good season for both of those programs.

[01:00:35] Neither of them really, I think, were thought of as contenders for.

[01:00:41] I did pick Ohio as my MAAC champion.

[01:00:43] I do remember doing that.

[01:00:45] Did you?

[01:00:45] I was just off the top.

[01:00:48] I had no reason to rationale.

[01:00:50] But.

[01:00:52] I'm going to have to go back.

[01:00:54] This week.

[01:00:55] I'm going to listen to that episode.

[01:00:57] Yeah.

[01:00:57] I thought I had it written down somewhere.

[01:00:59] I did not.

[01:00:59] But I'm going to go back.

[01:01:00] I know.

[01:01:00] I remember we both missed.

[01:01:03] We both had Utah winning the Big 12.

[01:01:05] So, we're off there.

[01:01:07] I think you had.

[01:01:09] I had Ohio.

[01:01:10] I think you had Date.

[01:01:11] No, not Date.

[01:01:13] I don't know why.

[01:01:13] Toledo, probably.

[01:01:14] Toledo.

[01:01:15] Yeah.

[01:01:16] I think we both had Georgia in the SEC.

[01:01:22] I think we had Ohio State and Oregon in a rematch in the Big 10.

[01:01:29] I think we both had Ohio State winning the rematch.

[01:01:33] And I think we both had Miami winning the ACC, if I'm not mistaken.

[01:01:41] Well.

[01:01:42] Anyway, let's see.

[01:01:43] Three o'clock next week.

[01:01:45] Georgia, Texas.

[01:01:46] That big SEC championship.

[01:01:47] That's one thing.

[01:01:47] I'm surprised that with that going to ABC now, they didn't move that to the primetime spot.

[01:01:54] I am kind of shocked by that.

[01:01:56] Yeah.

[01:01:57] Then you have Marshall in Louisiana Lafayette in the Sunbelt title game.

[01:02:02] That will be down there in Lafayette.

[01:02:06] Big 10 championship.

[01:02:08] Of course, we mentioned Penn State and Oregon and Indianapolis and Lucas Oil.

[01:02:13] And then, you know, hey, that's a good test for Penn State right there.

[01:02:17] That's.

[01:02:18] Yeah.

[01:02:18] And then Franklin won a big game.

[01:02:20] Yeah.

[01:02:20] We see, is this just a, is this just an Ohio State-Michigan thing?

[01:02:24] Or is this just a big game thing?

[01:02:26] Yeah.

[01:02:27] So, yeah.

[01:02:29] And then.

[01:02:30] I'll see.

[01:02:31] Yeah.

[01:02:32] And then, of course, we mentioned the ACC title game.

[01:02:34] Clemson and SMU.

[01:02:36] That was, of course, in Charlotte.

[01:02:38] But SMU, again, like I said, all power conferences.

[01:02:41] First time teams.

[01:02:42] You got SMU in the ACC, Oregon in the Big Ten, Texas in the SEC, and Arizona State in the Big 12.

[01:02:49] That's just, you know, that's wild.

[01:02:51] It's wild to think about.

[01:02:54] Especially, you know, especially in tradition-rich conferences like the SEC and the Big Ten.

[01:02:58] And I know it's a lot of people that doesn't sit well with it.

[01:03:02] Yeah.

[01:03:03] I'm going to just come in my head.

[01:03:04] A lot of pride for people.

[01:03:05] Yeah.

[01:03:07] But, you know, honestly, I'm most interested in the Big 12 and the ACC because those are really the only two where losers are out.

[01:03:21] Yeah.

[01:03:21] Yeah, for sure.

[01:03:23] You know, they're both one and done conferences.

[01:03:25] So, I mean, even though I think SMU should get in regardless, reality is they're probably not getting in with the second loss.

[01:03:33] So, that being said, you know, Arizona State, Iowa State, we know winners in, losers out.

[01:03:39] You know, Texas, Georgia, I mean, there might be some talk to Georgia with the third loss.

[01:03:44] But chances of Georgia being left out, not very good.

[01:03:49] Texas is in regardless.

[01:03:50] Texas, win or lose.

[01:03:52] Penn State and Oregon, I mean, of course, Oregon's in.

[01:03:56] I mean, they're undefeated right now.

[01:03:58] Penn State still has a win-loss.

[01:04:00] Even if they lose Oregon, there's no way they drop out to 12.

[01:04:05] And, of course, one and done there in the nightcap in Charlotte with SMU and Clemson.

[01:04:12] So, I mean, the first and the last game, my biggest, just because, you know, that's where we're going to see an elimination atmosphere.

[01:04:23] No, yeah.

[01:04:24] There's going to be some fun, another fun weekend.

[01:04:27] Oh, absolutely.

[01:04:28] And bigger this time, you know, because of all the playoff spots on the line.

[01:04:32] Yeah.

[01:04:33] Definitely different.

[01:04:35] It should be interesting to see, you know, if Georgia was, you know, third loss.

[01:04:43] You know, is anybody going to gripe about Georgia?

[01:04:46] Georgia, I don't know.

[01:04:50] I mean, I would have stepped their ends.

[01:04:52] But then again, I mean, we don't know how much the people, you know, value conference championship games losses or not.

[01:05:02] I bet.

[01:05:03] Or, but I would, I'd be, I'd be shocked if after last week of Georgia were to get left out.

[01:05:11] But who knows?

[01:05:14] Yeah.

[01:05:16] Yeah, I am too.

[01:05:17] Like, I think it would take some, like, a monumental ass whooping.

[01:05:21] Yeah.

[01:05:23] By Texas to knock Georgia out.

[01:05:26] It'd have to make Georgia look really bad.

[01:05:28] And even then.

[01:05:30] Even then, I don't know.

[01:05:31] It's just a name.

[01:05:32] They're going to drop.

[01:05:33] Yeah.

[01:05:34] Yeah.

[01:05:35] But yeah, let's move on to the pro game.

[01:05:40] Just real quick this week.

[01:05:42] Of course, you know, Big Thursday as always.

[01:05:44] Lions and Bears played an exciting one.

[01:05:47] And then the Bears just don't know what they were doing with that clock management at the end.

[01:05:53] That's the most Bears thing ever.

[01:05:55] And now they fired their coach.

[01:05:58] Yeah.

[01:05:59] But that was just the most Chicago Bears thing of all time.

[01:06:02] I mean, absolutely.

[01:06:05] It made no sense.

[01:06:06] In a season that started promising for them, you know.

[01:06:09] They were, what, four and two at one point.

[01:06:13] And now they've lost six in a row.

[01:06:15] Yeah.

[01:06:16] Yeah.

[01:06:16] The Hail Mary broke them.

[01:06:17] The Hail Mary game changed everything.

[01:06:19] It broke them.

[01:06:20] Yeah.

[01:06:20] They would have been five and two.

[01:06:23] That broke them.

[01:06:25] But.

[01:06:25] They did.

[01:06:27] Definitely did.

[01:06:28] And then your Cowboys got a win.

[01:06:30] They're all of a sudden five and seven.

[01:06:32] Yeah.

[01:06:33] Who knows?

[01:06:34] Yeah, exactly.

[01:06:35] Kind of in the playoff.

[01:06:36] Kind of in the mix.

[01:06:37] Yeah.

[01:06:37] Probably not based on the schedule.

[01:06:39] But, you know, stranger things have happened.

[01:06:42] Yeah, exactly.

[01:06:43] But hey, two wins in a row.

[01:06:44] First home win of the season.

[01:06:46] You know, I feel bad for those people.

[01:06:48] Because I know no matter what, Cowboy tickets are not cheap.

[01:06:52] And, you know, they go in every week.

[01:06:54] And a lot of season ticket holders go every week.

[01:06:57] And for them to lose.

[01:06:59] It's funny.

[01:06:59] When my parents moved back to Texas for a while, when they first moved back,

[01:07:03] they got season tickets for a little bit.

[01:07:05] But it's so much money because you got to buy a bond.

[01:07:08] And all type of extra stuff.

[01:07:10] And after like four years, they're like, man, this team is never going to do anything.

[01:07:14] We can't be giving, you know, thousands of dollars for them just to, you know,

[01:07:19] never really being.

[01:07:21] So, yeah.

[01:07:23] But that's.

[01:07:23] Yeah.

[01:07:24] But hey, you know, Dallas won two wins in a row.

[01:07:28] A home.

[01:07:28] First home win of the season, which is wild.

[01:07:31] Considering before this year, we were an excellent home team.

[01:07:34] Yeah.

[01:07:36] And then, you know, the night cap, Green Bay took it to the Dolphins.

[01:07:42] Yeah.

[01:07:43] Yeah.

[01:07:43] Dolphins scored a little late to make it look more respectable.

[01:07:46] And Tua didn't have a bad game at all.

[01:07:49] 37-46 for 365.

[01:07:52] But, yeah.

[01:07:53] Green Bay.

[01:07:53] I think we all knew that was happening.

[01:07:55] Green Bay.

[01:07:57] They're good.

[01:07:58] Yeah.

[01:07:58] Good win for them.

[01:08:02] Friday, just an ugly game.

[01:08:06] Chiefs, another escape over the Raiders.

[01:08:08] Raiders for the botched snap late.

[01:08:11] That maybe the refs missed a false start call.

[01:08:14] Yeah.

[01:08:15] That would have saved the Raiders.

[01:08:16] Just the very Raiders.

[01:08:17] Yeah.

[01:08:17] The very Raiders way of losing, though.

[01:08:20] They're kind of like the Bears.

[01:08:21] They're going to have a weird way to lose.

[01:08:23] One of those teams that will find a way.

[01:08:25] And the Chiefs continue to get by by the skin of their teeth.

[01:08:29] Yeah.

[01:08:30] You'd have to think eventually that's going to catch them in the ass.

[01:08:32] But, who knows?

[01:08:34] And then, let's see.

[01:08:36] Some big games today.

[01:08:37] I think the highlight probably that Eagles-Ravens matchup.

[01:08:41] Which the Eagles took in Baltimore.

[01:08:43] I didn't actually get to watch any of it.

[01:08:45] Man, what's going on with your guy, Justin Tucker?

[01:08:47] Man, 10 missed kicks this year now.

[01:08:50] Now, two field goals and an extra point tonight that would have won the Ravens a game.

[01:08:56] They've already, it looks like they've announced a statement that they are obviously sticking by him.

[01:09:02] And I agree.

[01:09:03] I think I posted that, you know, look, there are some Raven fans out there saying you got to cut them.

[01:09:08] You got to drop them.

[01:09:09] He's a Hall of Fame kicker.

[01:09:10] Yeah, he's a Hall of Fame kicker.

[01:09:12] He's one of the most accurate of all time.

[01:09:14] You know, it goes in and out every week between him and Eddie Pinheiro and Harrison Butker now.

[01:09:20] But he's been doing it for a lot longer than those other two guys.

[01:09:22] Oh, absolutely.

[01:09:23] He's the guy who had to, I mean, to put it in perspective, I mean, he was a dude who beat A&M in 2011.

[01:09:33] So that's how long he's been in the league.

[01:09:35] Yeah.

[01:09:38] Yeah, he's been there forever.

[01:09:39] This is actually the first ever time in his career, though, he's missed both the next point in the field goal in the same game.

[01:09:44] That's wild.

[01:09:45] And it's also not like, you know, he's not, I will say this, he's not missing chip shots.

[01:09:50] His misses are coming from 50 plus.

[01:09:52] And now granted, that is worrisome because that's a guy that does hold the record for longest field goal.

[01:09:57] Right.

[01:09:57] You know, 66 yarder a couple years ago over Detroit.

[01:10:01] And it is worrisome if you're a Ravens fan, obviously, because this is not the first, you know,

[01:10:06] he's missed a lot of big kicks and losses that if he had made them, you know, the Ravens win those games.

[01:10:12] You know, granted, he hasn't missed like a game winning kick in that situation.

[01:10:17] So you never know what change, you know, even if he makes those kicks tonight, you know,

[01:10:22] maybe the Eagles still find a way to score at some point.

[01:10:24] But if you look at it from just a point differential.

[01:10:28] Yeah, just a point differential.

[01:10:28] You know, that's seven points that the Ravens could have had.

[01:10:31] But yeah, I mean, yep.

[01:10:35] I mean, but yeah, like you said, I mean, it's all it's all hypothetical at that point,

[01:10:39] because obviously if he makes those kicks, maybe the Eagles do something different.

[01:10:43] We don't know how they how they if they score what they do after those kicks or what happens.

[01:10:49] So it's all hypothetical.

[01:10:50] It just looks bad when you look at it from a point different perspective and you're like, dang, seven points.

[01:10:56] You lose by what?

[01:10:57] Five.

[01:10:58] Yeah.

[01:10:59] Well, I think the biggest thing is for Ravens fans, you know, now that's it.

[01:11:02] That used to be he came on the field.

[01:11:04] You're like, OK, cool.

[01:11:05] Chalk up three points.

[01:11:06] Oh, yeah.

[01:11:07] When he missed, it was like a shock.

[01:11:09] It was like the biggest news in the world.

[01:11:11] You're like, what the hell happened?

[01:11:12] Right.

[01:11:13] The only time that you would ever accept a miss is if they were trying some crazy field goal.

[01:11:18] You know, 60 plus.

[01:11:19] Yeah.

[01:11:19] Yeah.

[01:11:20] And even then you're like, Matt Stucker, it might go in.

[01:11:23] Yeah.

[01:11:24] Absolutely.

[01:11:24] Yeah.

[01:11:25] So that's the worry right now is that it's no longer, you know, automatic.

[01:11:30] And if it does come down to a game winning game time situation, you know, late, you know, in the fourth quarter.

[01:11:36] I don't feel about it.

[01:11:37] Yeah.

[01:11:38] Yeah.

[01:11:38] Where's his head at?

[01:11:39] You know, he's come out multiple times this year, said it's a mechanics thing.

[01:11:42] But, you know, you got to figure at some point it's in his head, too.

[01:11:45] Yeah.

[01:11:46] Because all of these kicks are missed left, except he did miss one.

[01:11:49] I see.

[01:11:50] I just watched the highlights now.

[01:11:51] He missed one to the right.

[01:11:52] But their actual point is shocker to me.

[01:11:54] Oh, yeah.

[01:11:55] That's it.

[01:11:55] That's, you know, always.

[01:11:57] Because that's crazy when he misses those.

[01:12:00] But a good win for the Eagles is they try to keep pace with the Lions.

[01:12:04] That's eight in a row for them now.

[01:12:05] I mean, I don't know how quiet it is.

[01:12:11] But, I mean, I don't think anybody really still considers them as an elite team.

[01:12:15] Just because, I mean, they had their struggle last year.

[01:12:17] But they're putting together a hell of a season.

[01:12:20] And I don't think they're going to have near that.

[01:12:22] They're not going to have the fallout from last year at all.

[01:12:24] They're, you know, they weathered that storm and looked to be in a good headspace.

[01:12:30] No, and it's, yeah, because of two things.

[01:12:32] They fixed their defense.

[01:12:34] You know, their defensive problems.

[01:12:35] That defense is what won them.

[01:12:37] You know, it wasn't, you know, the Tucker misses, obviously, one thing.

[01:12:40] But that defense, it's not like they shut down the Ravens offense.

[01:12:43] Ravens still put up numbers, it looks like.

[01:12:45] They just, but they made big stops when they needed it.

[01:12:49] If you look at that, I know I was looking, like I said, we were in Mississippi with my wife Stanley.

[01:12:56] But I was looking at the drive charts.

[01:12:59] And at one point, I think the Ravens had three straight three and outs.

[01:13:04] And the first half.

[01:13:05] Many times you do that, that's impressive against that Ravens offense.

[01:13:08] And it's big, because at that point when they did it, you know, the Ravens were up nine nothing.

[01:13:13] You know, they missed extra point.

[01:13:14] And then their offense wasn't doing anything either.

[01:13:18] If you look at the Eagles' first few drives, four plays punt, three and out, three and out, four plays punt.

[01:13:25] And then that's where in between those, they got two of those three and outs.

[01:13:30] And they finally scored a touchdown.

[01:13:31] They got another three and out.

[01:13:32] And then they scored a touchdown to take the lead.

[01:13:34] And they never looked back, you know.

[01:13:36] That's just wild.

[01:13:39] And then, you know, second half, you know, that's where, you know, the Ravens' first two drives.

[01:13:43] You know, both end and miss field goals.

[01:13:45] But it's a good job by the defense to hold the Ravens once they got, yeah, once they got into field goal territory.

[01:13:52] You know, they made some big third down plays, you know.

[01:13:56] Yeah.

[01:13:56] I mean, that's really the key to today's NFL.

[01:13:59] I mean, if you can.

[01:14:01] But don't break.

[01:14:03] Yeah.

[01:14:03] Because, I mean, it doesn't seem like you really, even the worst teams, they put up, a lot of them still put up numbers.

[01:14:11] I mean, it's just a matter of, you know, hold them to field goals or, you know.

[01:14:17] Biggest thing, if you can keep a team out of the end zone, every time they cross to 50, I mean, you've done a hell of a job.

[01:14:23] I mean, that's kind of all you can really hope for in today's college improv.

[01:14:28] If you're holding teams at three, you've done a hell of a job as a defense these days.

[01:14:32] Yeah.

[01:14:33] And they did that.

[01:14:33] And like I said, it's a huge win for them because they now keep pace with Detroit for, you know, possibly getting that one seed.

[01:14:40] And the commanders broke their losing streak.

[01:14:42] So, you know, they keep distance from the NFC East.

[01:14:47] You know, in the grand scheme of things, not a huge loss for the Ravens.

[01:14:51] But it is significant that earlier in the day, Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati.

[01:14:56] So now, you know, Pittsburgh's still got that two-game lead, game and a half, whatever it is.

[01:15:02] Which ended up being a lot closer than if they were blowing out Cincinnati.

[01:15:06] And Cincinnati made that comeback.

[01:15:09] Yeah.

[01:15:10] Which pretty much, you've got to figure Cincinnati's done for.

[01:15:14] Oh, yeah.

[01:15:15] Absolutely.

[01:15:15] Any hope they had of coming back for the playoff spots got to be.

[01:15:19] Pretty much that.

[01:15:20] Just barring collapses by the teams in front of them.

[01:15:22] But you just don't have the faith that Cincinnati defense is going to be able to step up and win those games for them.

[01:15:30] Their defense is atrocious.

[01:15:32] Yeah.

[01:15:33] Yeah.

[01:15:33] And then, I mean, I would think that's a team that's definitely going to have quite a few changes in the offseason.

[01:15:39] Maybe when the head coaching change because, you know, you have two elite players in Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow.

[01:15:49] Yeah.

[01:15:49] Add it on.

[01:15:50] The weapons you have in that offense, you're wasting.

[01:15:53] I know they made a Super Bowl, but.

[01:15:55] I mean, that was a miracle run.

[01:15:57] I mean, that's come out of nowhere.

[01:15:59] You cannot waste.

[01:16:00] Outside of that miracle run, I mean, it's very average at best.

[01:16:05] Yeah.

[01:16:06] You're wasting the crimes.

[01:16:07] They show up in big games.

[01:16:08] Yeah.

[01:16:09] But they lose those games.

[01:16:11] They do, yeah.

[01:16:12] And it's also weirdly like, yeah, like they put up all these huge numbers when they play the Ravens.

[01:16:17] But like you said, they lose those games.

[01:16:19] And they also don't carry that around to.

[01:16:22] No, granted, you cannot put anything on that offense.

[01:16:26] Their defense today gave up over 400 passing yards to Russell Wilson.

[01:16:30] And, you know, granted, Russ has been playing okay since, you know, becoming a Steelers starter.

[01:16:35] No.

[01:16:35] This is, yeah.

[01:16:36] This ain't 2016, Russ.

[01:16:39] No.

[01:16:40] Absolutely not.

[01:16:41] This is the other side of your career, Russ.

[01:16:45] Yeah.

[01:16:45] So.

[01:16:45] It'll be interesting to see what they do because I think there's a lot of changes coming there.

[01:16:49] I think they, I wouldn't be shocked if they have a whole new coach and stuff next year.

[01:16:54] Yeah.

[01:16:54] That would not surprise me either.

[01:16:57] Elsewhere, Chargers went on the road, beat the Falcons.

[01:17:00] That's, what's that?

[01:17:01] What's going on in Atlanta?

[01:17:02] Third straight loss in Atlanta.

[01:17:04] Kirk Cousins, four interceptions there.

[01:17:06] There's some quiet calls for the, maybe it's Michael Pennick's time.

[01:17:11] We'll see.

[01:17:12] But yeah, that's, you know, in a division that was theirs for the taking.

[01:17:15] Yeah.

[01:17:16] They're doing better than they can not to.

[01:17:18] Yeah.

[01:17:19] And that would be the most Atlanta thing ever.

[01:17:21] Yeah.

[01:17:22] It's a very Atlanta thing.

[01:17:23] Vikings, big win today.

[01:17:25] One point win over the Cardinals.

[01:17:27] Huge win.

[01:17:28] Again, keeping pace with Detroit.

[01:17:29] They're right there.

[01:17:32] Getting back on track.

[01:17:33] Justin Jefferson, good rebound game after his, I think, worst career game last week.

[01:17:37] But seven catches, 99 yards.

[01:17:39] Still not getting in the end zone.

[01:17:41] Oh.

[01:17:42] But, you know.

[01:17:43] That's one of the Julio Jones.

[01:17:44] Yeah.

[01:17:45] Exactly.

[01:17:45] Yeah.

[01:17:46] A lot of yards, a lot of catches.

[01:17:47] You know, dependable.

[01:17:48] Obviously one of the better receivers in the game.

[01:17:50] Yeah.

[01:17:51] No touchdowns.

[01:17:52] But good win for the Seahawks in New York, man.

[01:17:58] It's done for Aaron and Rodgers.

[01:18:00] You got to retire.

[01:18:03] Yeah.

[01:18:04] Yeah.

[01:18:04] Absolutely.

[01:18:05] It just looks terrible.

[01:18:06] Yeah.

[01:18:08] Commanders, we mentioned them.

[01:18:09] Big win.

[01:18:10] Got back on a winning track.

[01:18:11] Easy win over the Titans.

[01:18:14] Texans win in Jacksonville.

[01:18:16] Another fight there as Trevor Lawrence got late hit.

[01:18:21] And a little fight between those teams.

[01:18:25] Rams go into New Orleans and win.

[01:18:30] The Bucs beat the Panthers in overtime after Chuba Hubbard.

[01:18:34] Another great game for Bryce.

[01:18:35] He is really starting to turn it around.

[01:18:36] He's really starting to turn it around.

[01:18:38] Good for him.

[01:18:39] And then you may have heard us talk about it some as we were watching the end of it live.

[01:18:44] But Buffalo just destroys San Francisco.

[01:18:48] And this is when Christopher got hurt again.

[01:18:51] Yeah.

[01:18:52] Possibly.

[01:18:52] It looks like just some news released in the last couple minutes.

[01:18:55] Possible PCL injury that might sideline him for the rest of the season.

[01:18:59] Yeah.

[01:18:59] I think his career might be close to being done, sadly.

[01:19:02] Because those injuries are just piling up.

[01:19:05] The type of player that he is, I mean, it's rough on the body and itself.

[01:19:09] And those type of injuries don't do anything to help his career.

[01:19:12] And they're all leg injuries.

[01:19:13] It's one thing if you're getting a broken arm or some pec injuries.

[01:19:17] All the same stuff.

[01:19:19] It's that lower body, like you said.

[01:19:21] He's a shifty guy.

[01:19:22] He's receiving back.

[01:19:23] It's all about his speed and lateral quickness.

[01:19:26] That doesn't help out at all.

[01:19:28] Yeah.

[01:19:28] Those knees are getting shredded more and more, man.

[01:19:32] Josh Allen may be definitely front runner for the MVP right now.

[01:19:36] Yeah, I would say so.

[01:19:39] Absolutely.

[01:19:40] And Saquon, you know, good game.

[01:19:41] Another 100-yard game and a big touchdown for him today.

[01:19:44] So I think he's probably right there.

[01:19:47] It's crazy.

[01:19:49] Yeah.

[01:19:49] He's having just an epic season.

[01:19:53] Yeah, it's great.

[01:19:55] Hey, great year for running backs, right?

[01:19:57] To, you know, argue that they're still Saquon and Philly has really –

[01:20:03] granted, you know, as far as if you take it at the true meaning,

[01:20:07] the most valuable player, I think it's probably more Josh Allen

[01:20:10] because, you know, you take him off the bills and what do you got?

[01:20:13] Oh, yeah.

[01:20:13] The Eagles, I'm not saying they can replicate what Saquon's doing,

[01:20:17] but I think they can still be really good with a lower-tier back.

[01:20:21] And we've saw them be good with lower-tier backs.

[01:20:23] Exactly, yeah, with a committee of backs, you know.

[01:20:26] But what he's doing there is great.

[01:20:28] Obviously, Derrick Henry in Baltimore has really opened up that offense this year.

[01:20:31] Yeah.

[01:20:32] It's a lot of running backs that are putting up –

[01:20:35] Yeah, Josh Jacobson's Green Bay, another guy that held out, you know,

[01:20:39] didn't want to get franchise tag or, you know, wanted a bigger contract,

[01:20:44] went somewhere else, and he's having a great year there.

[01:20:46] And he's really a key part of that offense.

[01:20:49] Yeah.

[01:20:52] So, yeah, looking, you know, as our –

[01:20:54] the Bills, I believe, today clinched the AFC East with that win.

[01:21:01] Looks like them and the –

[01:21:02] They're so far ahead of everybody.

[01:21:03] Them and the Chiefs are the only two teams, actually,

[01:21:06] to clinch playoff spots.

[01:21:08] Somehow the Lions at 11-1, best record in the NFC,

[01:21:12] have not clinched a playoff spot yet.

[01:21:13] And it shows you how good that North is.

[01:21:16] That North is, yeah.

[01:21:17] Yeah.

[01:21:18] But if you're looking right now, standings,

[01:21:20] Casey would be your one seed and get that by in the AFC.

[01:21:24] Then you have Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Houston.

[01:21:27] And then Los Angeles, Baltimore, and then Denver would be your three wild cards there.

[01:21:34] So, hypothetically, today, your playoff matchups would be Buffalo, Denver,

[01:21:40] Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Houston, and Chargers.

[01:21:44] That's interesting.

[01:21:45] Yeah.

[01:21:45] Interesting.

[01:21:46] And the NFC, you got Detroit in that one seed, Philly in the two seeds.

[01:21:50] Seattle, the three seed, Atlanta still holding on somehow.

[01:21:54] And that four seed, I guess they got the two wins over the Bucs.

[01:21:58] That's right.

[01:21:58] Yeah.

[01:21:59] That's going to be their saving grace, it sounds like.

[01:22:01] The way they're playing.

[01:22:02] Yeah.

[01:22:03] But, I mean, hell, man.

[01:22:05] The Bucs keep winning.

[01:22:06] They do have even records.

[01:22:09] So, the Bucs just need to pull ahead and stay ahead.

[01:22:11] But, your wild cards would be Minnesota, Green Bay, and Washington right there.

[01:22:18] The Bucs, the ones on the outside looking in there.

[01:22:22] Washington, eight and five.

[01:22:24] You got Tampa Bay, Arizona, and the Rams all six and six behind them there.

[01:22:30] And the AFC looking back, that's more.

[01:22:32] It's a little bit more space.

[01:22:34] Broncos, seven and five.

[01:22:35] And then behind them, six and seven Colts, five and seven Dolphins.

[01:22:39] And then you get to the Bengals at four and eight.

[01:22:42] So, it's pretty much.

[01:22:43] Pretty much locked up.

[01:22:44] The Broncos, it's theirs.

[01:22:46] Yeah, it's theirs to take unless they collapse.

[01:22:48] And even then, the two teams behind them.

[01:22:51] As long as Miami doesn't have to play in cold weather.

[01:22:54] You know, maybe they could make a run.

[01:22:57] I don't know what the rest of their schedule looks like.

[01:22:59] They get Jets at home next week.

[01:23:02] It's so bad in cold weather.

[01:23:04] It doesn't even make sense.

[01:23:05] It's weird.

[01:23:06] Luckily, well, listen.

[01:23:08] They get Jets at home.

[01:23:09] At Texans.

[01:23:11] 49ers at home.

[01:23:13] And then their last two games.

[01:23:14] And so, in late December, early January,

[01:23:16] are at Cleveland and at the Jets.

[01:23:18] So, two cold weather games in the season there.

[01:23:22] Boy, two terrible teams.

[01:23:24] Yeah.

[01:23:25] Yeah.

[01:23:25] They're in the contention.

[01:23:26] You've got to win those.

[01:23:28] Yeah, so.

[01:23:29] You've got to win those, for sure.

[01:23:31] So, who knows.

[01:23:33] Moving on from NFL real quick before we go.

[01:23:36] Good week for Bama Hoops.

[01:23:38] It's a good win over Houston overall.

[01:23:42] A good win over Houston and Rutgers in midweek.

[01:23:45] Good two hard-fought games.

[01:23:47] And then a tough loss Saturday night to Oregon.

[01:23:50] Oh, me.

[01:23:51] Just a terrible goaltending call.

[01:23:55] Oh, my God.

[01:23:55] Terrible goaltending call.

[01:23:57] Can't you talk about you didn't still kept it?

[01:24:00] Like, what?

[01:24:00] It was clear.

[01:24:02] Clear as day.

[01:24:02] It was not a.

[01:24:03] Oh, thanks.

[01:24:05] Oh, we needed a quarter of a second more.

[01:24:08] Yeah.

[01:24:09] At the end.

[01:24:09] And then the great steal, great defensive play.

[01:24:12] And they evened the game up.

[01:24:14] And then, you know, Grant Nelson doesn't box out.

[01:24:18] They get the.

[01:24:19] Big dunk.

[01:24:20] Yeah, put back dunk to win.

[01:24:23] And then that last play just.

[01:24:26] Mark.

[01:24:26] Quarter of a second more.

[01:24:27] Yeah.

[01:24:28] Just maybe didn't too much.

[01:24:30] I'm surprised we didn't have a play to get a shooter, you know.

[01:24:34] Yeah.

[01:24:35] A shot.

[01:24:36] Yeah.

[01:24:36] Much different.

[01:24:37] Much different last shot than I would have anticipated.

[01:24:40] Yeah.

[01:24:41] Yeah.

[01:24:41] If he had a.

[01:24:42] Like you said, if he had another half second, maybe that, you know, that dish was a good.

[01:24:45] Good look to Nelson.

[01:24:46] But it's just a touch too late.

[01:24:50] But.

[01:24:51] Mark Sears did struggle.

[01:24:53] I mean, he had a great game against Houston.

[01:24:56] Houston and Rucks.

[01:24:57] Yeah.

[01:24:58] 24.

[01:24:58] Both of those nights.

[01:25:00] Struggled mightily.

[01:25:01] Struggled mightily last night.

[01:25:02] But I will say in that Rutgers game, my goodness, that freshman duo is spectacular.

[01:25:09] Oh.

[01:25:09] Do Ron Harperson?

[01:25:11] Yeah.

[01:25:12] Yeah.

[01:25:13] What was his first name?

[01:25:15] Yeah.

[01:25:16] But.

[01:25:16] Yeah.

[01:25:17] Harpfor, he is ridiculous.

[01:25:20] That man was.

[01:25:21] Yeah.

[01:25:22] And he fearless.

[01:25:24] Absolutely.

[01:25:25] Had no.

[01:25:27] Yeah.

[01:25:27] Just did not care.

[01:25:29] He was putting that team on his back.

[01:25:30] Reminded me a lot of Colin Sexton.

[01:25:32] The way he plays.

[01:25:33] Oh, yeah.

[01:25:34] Obviously, he's the kind of probably one and done type of guy.

[01:25:38] Mm-hmm.

[01:25:40] But watching that game, it just, you wonder, how did Rutgers get those two top five NBA picks

[01:25:48] on the team?

[01:25:49] I mean, that's just amazing that they're able to throw on the A&I L money.

[01:25:55] Like, yeah.

[01:25:56] Not a place you would have thought that that would happen.

[01:25:58] But good for them.

[01:25:59] Yeah.

[01:26:00] Yeah.

[01:26:01] Good for them.

[01:26:02] But like I said, good wins for Alabama.

[01:26:04] Tough loss to Oregon.

[01:26:05] Yeah.

[01:26:05] But that's not a bad loss by any stretch.

[01:26:07] Not a terrible loss.

[01:26:08] I mean, Oregon's undefeated on the season.

[01:26:09] I mean, they're, you know, Oregon's always a tough out.

[01:26:12] You know, they're always have big athletic guys.

[01:26:15] So, always a tough out.

[01:26:17] But once again, I mean, compared to where we were in these type of games this year and

[01:26:22] last year, we're far ahead this year than what we were.

[01:26:25] I mean, really not a game they were out of.

[01:26:29] I mean, we could have easily won that game yesterday.

[01:26:31] I mean, and the other loss, of course, at Purdue.

[01:26:33] I mean, Purdue at home was ridiculous.

[01:26:35] I think they won 23 straight or something.

[01:26:39] So, I mean, no shame in losing there.

[01:26:42] You know, I guess right now the team of the week is Auburn.

[01:26:46] I mean, they're just crushing food.

[01:26:48] Yeah.

[01:26:49] They're absolutely crushing people.

[01:26:51] Yeah.

[01:26:51] I mean, they use house members.

[01:26:52] Now the invitational champs.

[01:26:54] Yeah.

[01:26:54] Yeah.

[01:26:55] House Memphis in the championship game.

[01:26:57] And the other crazy thing this week was UConn losing all those games.

[01:27:04] 0-3 in Maui and Dan Hurley getting mad at the refs.

[01:27:10] And then getting teed up, which good.

[01:27:12] Because Dan Hurley, he gives it to the refs.

[01:27:15] Dan is crazy.

[01:27:17] Yeah, good time.

[01:27:18] Finally a ref, you know, to be like, hey, man, shut the fuck up.

[01:27:21] Here's a take.

[01:27:22] Because he was getting injured.

[01:27:24] Yeah.

[01:27:26] But looking ahead this week for the Tide, SEC-ACC Challenge, we got North Carolina in the Dean Dome.

[01:27:37] So, it's a good few games.

[01:27:41] Auburn plays Duke.

[01:27:44] Duke.

[01:27:47] That'll be interesting.

[01:27:48] Yeah.

[01:27:48] Is that in Auburn or is it in Cameron?

[01:27:53] I thought it was in Cameron.

[01:27:55] Yeah.

[01:27:55] I'm trying to look it up here.

[01:27:58] Yeah.

[01:27:58] It's in Cameron.

[01:27:59] But let's see.

[01:28:02] Some interesting games.

[01:28:04] That game at Auburn, because I would give it to them when they have a big basketball game,

[01:28:09] they show up.

[01:28:10] That's a hard place to win when they show up there.

[01:28:14] But that game had been at Auburn, man, that would have been tough for Duke.

[01:28:19] But that'd be interesting if Cooper would see, you know, Flag go up against that Auburn team.

[01:28:24] That's a big Auburn team.

[01:28:25] And they got long buttons.

[01:28:27] Like, they're a long-bodied team.

[01:28:29] Like, they're crazy.

[01:28:33] Yeah.

[01:28:33] No, that's going to be a fun one to watch.

[01:28:36] We're getting to that part in the college basketball.

[01:28:41] Yeah, it's a great non-conference.

[01:28:43] You know, we've lost a lot of these early season tournaments over the years now,

[01:28:48] but they're kind of making up for things like these.

[01:28:51] Oh, yeah.

[01:28:52] Absolutely.

[01:28:52] It's a great...

[01:28:53] Just some other highlights in that challenge.

[01:28:56] Arkansas will visit Miami.

[01:28:59] Let's see.

[01:29:01] Tennessee will host Syracuse.

[01:29:04] A&M will host Wake Forest.

[01:29:06] Ole Miss goes to Louisville.

[01:29:09] Kentucky goes to Clemson.

[01:29:13] I will say I was talking about Arkansas.

[01:29:17] You know, I think that made our Illinois game look better,

[01:29:20] because Illinois and Blast Arkansas.

[01:29:23] Mm-hmm.

[01:29:23] Yeah.

[01:29:24] Yeah, Coach Kyle's got some work there, but he...

[01:29:27] You know, he has...

[01:29:28] I think he's...

[01:29:29] He'll be all right.

[01:29:30] That's what I know.

[01:29:30] Those are Tuesday games.

[01:29:32] Wednesday, of course, that's when Alabama-Carolina is.

[01:29:35] Auburn-Duke.

[01:29:35] Virginia visits Florida.

[01:29:37] Pitt visits Mississippi State as well.

[01:29:40] So, just some...

[01:29:41] It's kind of funny, though, that the state of Alabama right now,

[01:29:45] are kind of the epicenter for basketball.

[01:29:48] I mean...

[01:29:50] Hot man, man.

[01:29:51] Yeah.

[01:29:52] Absolutely.

[01:29:53] And I can't wait till that game.

[01:29:54] That game will be insane.

[01:29:56] I think we're going to play them once this year

[01:29:57] with the expansion of the schedule.

[01:29:59] But that'll be an insane game.

[01:30:01] Auburn?

[01:30:03] I swear.

[01:30:04] I don't think...

[01:30:05] No, no, no.

[01:30:06] We got checked out here.

[01:30:07] I could be wrong.

[01:30:09] Let's see.

[01:30:09] It was a couple of times.

[01:30:11] Because I know...

[01:30:12] I know a change with, like, Tennessee.

[01:30:14] Usually we play them twice.

[01:30:15] I know that they were down to one,

[01:30:16] if I'm not mistaken.

[01:30:18] Yeah.

[01:30:18] I think...

[01:30:19] I thought maybe Auburn was...

[01:30:20] I don't know how many...

[01:30:21] Or even if they do protected rivalries in that.

[01:30:25] But...

[01:30:25] Let me look that up real quick.

[01:30:27] Because I would think that ours would be definitely Auburn.

[01:30:32] I don't think we play Tennessee plays.

[01:30:35] Let's see.

[01:30:36] We play Auburn on the 15th of February in Tuscaloosa.

[01:30:40] And then...

[01:30:40] Yeah, we end the season at Auburn.

[01:30:42] Our last conference game.

[01:30:43] Oh, man.

[01:30:43] Oh, wow.

[01:30:45] March 18th.

[01:30:47] That could be...

[01:30:47] Watch out.

[01:30:48] That could be crazy.

[01:30:49] That's actually...

[01:30:50] Right now, that is a really rough ending stretch for Alabama.

[01:30:55] Their last five games, as it is, are all against ranked teams.

[01:30:58] Yeah.

[01:30:59] Kentucky State at Tennessee.

[01:31:01] Florida at Auburn to end the season.

[01:31:04] Yikes.

[01:31:05] Oh, yeah.

[01:31:06] No breaks in the SEC schedule this year.

[01:31:08] Yeah, there's a lot of...

[01:31:10] There's a lot of...

[01:31:11] Right now, anyway.

[01:31:13] Ranked teams in the SEC.

[01:31:14] I see Ole Miss is ranked right now.

[01:31:16] I think State is ranked right now.

[01:31:19] Yeah.

[01:31:20] The SEC has definitely...

[01:31:23] Been a hell...

[01:31:24] Started off high.

[01:31:26] You know?

[01:31:26] As much slander as the SEC gets in basketball.

[01:31:30] You know?

[01:31:31] I would say the SEC...

[01:31:32] No, yeah.

[01:31:32] You got Florida, Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ole Miss, State, us, A&M, and Arkansas all ranked.

[01:31:41] Yeah.

[01:31:41] And then Oklahoma's 7-0.

[01:31:43] Georgia's 7-1.

[01:31:45] Vandy's 7-1.

[01:31:46] LSU's 6-1.

[01:31:48] Missouri's 6-1.

[01:31:49] Texas is 6-1.

[01:31:50] So...

[01:31:51] Nice.

[01:31:51] There's actually not a losing record in the SEC right now.

[01:31:54] Carolina.

[01:31:55] South Carolina's the worst at 4-3.

[01:31:58] So...

[01:31:59] That's something big.

[01:31:59] Very interesting.

[01:32:01] Yeah.

[01:32:03] Yeah.

[01:32:04] Let's see.

[01:32:05] Just looking on...

[01:32:06] Any other sports news you want to talk about this week?

[01:32:08] Anything NBA interesting?

[01:32:12] Well, nothing too interesting.

[01:32:15] I honestly didn't watch too much.

[01:32:18] I guess the only two things.

[01:32:20] I guess I was kind of shocked that North Carolina fired Mack Brown.

[01:32:24] I was kind of shocked by that.

[01:32:27] I mean, I get it.

[01:32:28] But, man, you would have thought he could at least go on to his own terms.

[01:32:32] Because he thought he was coming back.

[01:32:34] He'd even say, hey, I'm coming back.

[01:32:36] I'm not done.

[01:32:37] And they said, nope, you're done, Mack.

[01:32:39] So, I'd be interested who goes there.

[01:32:43] I heard that Dan Mullen's interested in that job.

[01:32:48] Which would be interesting for him to go there.

[01:32:52] You know, that's the kind of place he could probably thrive at.

[01:32:55] You know, they have expectations, but not insane.

[01:33:00] If he goes...

[01:33:01] If he did what he did in Florida every year at Carolina,

[01:33:04] he's a lifelong guy.

[01:33:08] Yeah.

[01:33:09] If he goes, you know, 9-3,

[01:33:14] maybe pulls a playoff berth every now and then again,

[01:33:18] or ACC championship wins their bowl game,

[01:33:20] I think they'll be great in Carolina.

[01:33:22] I mean, yeah.

[01:33:23] Hell, if he does what he did at state.

[01:33:24] Yeah.

[01:33:25] I mean, that's...

[01:33:26] I mean, he wanted it at state.

[01:33:27] He wanted, you know...

[01:33:31] Yeah.

[01:33:31] I think that'd be a great hire if he...

[01:33:34] And they said he was interested.

[01:33:36] So, I mean, if I'm North Carolina,

[01:33:38] I'm definitely looking at that and saying,

[01:33:40] hey, at least kicking the tires with that.

[01:33:42] And then, you know,

[01:33:44] it looks like Neil Brown got fired today from West Virginia

[01:33:48] after escaping the hot seat last year.

[01:33:52] You know, tough end of the regular season for the Mountaineers.

[01:33:55] But, so they'll have that opening.

[01:33:57] So that'll be on Jurassic.

[01:33:58] See who goes there.

[01:34:00] Yeah.

[01:34:03] Anything else?

[01:34:05] No, I think that was it for me.

[01:34:08] All right.

[01:34:08] Then let's see.

[01:34:12] Any specific donut real good you want to shout out?

[01:34:14] Or are we just going to say five in a row is donut?

[01:34:17] Hey, that's it.

[01:34:19] Five in a row.

[01:34:21] Great food.

[01:34:23] That's a wrap.

[01:34:24] Good rivalry weekend.

[01:34:27] I would like to say, man,

[01:34:28] some of these rivalries that have been played earlier,

[01:34:34] we need to get back to where everything's this last weekend, man.

[01:34:37] Like the backyard brawl.

[01:34:39] Come on.

[01:34:39] Let's get that back on this last weekend.

[01:34:42] Absolutely.

[01:34:43] Can we talk to Missouri and Kansas about renewing the border war?

[01:34:47] Yeah.

[01:34:48] The holy war.

[01:34:50] BYU and Utah are both in the same conference now.

[01:34:53] Come on.

[01:34:53] Yeah.

[01:34:53] Move that to the end.

[01:34:54] Move that to the end.

[01:34:56] Absolutely.

[01:34:58] Yeah.

[01:34:59] So let's just, let's get back to some of these.

[01:35:02] Let's get rivalry week.

[01:35:03] Truly.

[01:35:04] Everybody.

[01:35:05] Okay.

[01:35:05] If you have the opportunity to play your.

[01:35:07] Yeah.

[01:35:08] Absolutely.

[01:35:10] But yeah.

[01:35:11] So like we said, hey, five in a row is done up real good.

[01:35:14] We're all tied.

[01:35:15] Maybe.

[01:35:16] Look, what happens, happens.

[01:35:17] If we're in the playoff, great.

[01:35:18] If not, let's beat whoever the hell in the bowl game and set our sights on next week

[01:35:24] and really all calm down.

[01:35:26] We were saying before the season, we'd lose three games.

[01:35:30] It'd be interesting though.

[01:35:32] I mean, the transfer portal is about to open up.

[01:35:34] The early signing day, which basically turned into the signing day is happening soon.

[01:35:39] So, I mean, December is a busy month.

[01:35:43] Yeah.

[01:35:44] In the card football world.

[01:35:45] Yeah.

[01:35:45] There is no more.

[01:35:46] Playoff.

[01:35:46] Yeah.

[01:35:46] There is no more.

[01:35:48] No more dead period.

[01:35:49] In turn.

[01:35:49] Yeah.

[01:35:50] Yeah.

[01:35:50] There's no more downtime.

[01:35:52] With the playoff now.

[01:35:53] Yeah.

[01:35:54] Yeah.

[01:35:54] So between recruiting and playoff, the transfer portal and the early signing day, man, December

[01:36:02] has turned into a hotbed for card football.

[01:36:05] Absolutely, man.

[01:36:06] It's going to be fun.

[01:36:07] Uh, so thank you all for listening.

[01:36:38] Congrats to our winners and the Pick'em Pools this year.

[01:36:41] Dr. Ari went in the Alabama Take Pool and, uh, man, his name was King Ra won the taking

[01:36:48] on sports, the spread pool.

[01:36:49] Yeah.

[01:36:50] And he actually, we actually know who it is.

[01:36:52] He actually did message me this morning.

[01:36:54] He'll, he'll get the t-shirts sent his way.

[01:36:56] So, congratulations for winning.

[01:36:58] Unlike our bracket challenge.

[01:37:00] I sadly missed a week.

[01:37:02] I was a third.

[01:37:03] Yeah.

[01:37:04] I was a third.

[01:37:04] I missed a week.

[01:37:06] Yeah.

[01:37:06] I mean, I'm not sure the tiebreaker that they used because he actually finished level on

[01:37:11] points with my mom of all people.

[01:37:13] So, I'm going to have to hear about that all, all off season about how she knows what I'm

[01:37:17] talking about.

[01:37:18] No sport.

[01:37:18] Yeah.

[01:37:19] Knows, knows better.

[01:37:20] But, uh, yeah.

[01:37:22] So, that'll be fun.

[01:37:23] That's like when, I had to have my wife beating me into, my wife finally beat me in the bracket

[01:37:30] challenge.

[01:37:31] And then went into our family bracket challenge last year and my daughter won.

[01:37:34] No.

[01:37:35] But, yeah.

[01:37:36] She said, yeah.

[01:37:37] I, I watch all types of sports.

[01:37:39] I, I listen to all this stuff and I'm like, come on.

[01:37:42] Let's be realistic.

[01:37:44] But, yeah.

[01:37:46] Ah, yeah.

[01:37:46] It's funny when, it's funny when it happens.

[01:37:49] And then, uh, we got, I believe we'll have one more week in our, our taking bets column.

[01:37:54] Um, I, I don't, last year we, last couple of years, I think I've convinced that we're

[01:37:58] doing all the conference title games.

[01:38:01] I think we should do it again this year because it's the only shot I have to be above 500.

[01:38:05] Yeah.

[01:38:06] I don't think I have a chance.

[01:38:07] Um, I would, you know, end up, I think I went two and two this week.

[01:38:12] I got the plus 19 from Georgia and the Cowboys spread, but, uh, and, um, didn't do it for

[01:38:21] me.

[01:38:22] Oh man, that, that, it was funny.

[01:38:24] I was watching that with my father-in-law when they got stoned on that, that fourth and

[01:38:28] goal.

[01:38:28] I was like, damn it.

[01:38:29] And he was like, oh, do, do we want A&M to win?

[01:38:32] I'm like, no, no, actually Texas is probably better for Alabama, but, uh, yeah, I just wanted

[01:38:38] that five and a half.

[01:38:39] Yeah.

[01:38:39] I just want that spread.

[01:38:41] Yeah.

[01:38:41] Yeah.

[01:38:41] It looks like I went, yeah, I went two and two this week as well.

[01:38:44] Let's see.

[01:38:45] Blaine.

[01:38:45] He nailed that Memphis pick, man.

[01:38:47] Uh, even called it the, he said we're going to win.

[01:38:50] How late my goodness.

[01:38:51] Just, just, uh, you dominate all season and then you, then you not only say that they're

[01:38:58] going to cover, they said they're going to win by 10 and lo and behold, what did they

[01:39:01] do?

[01:39:01] They won by 10.

[01:39:03] Yeah.

[01:39:04] Crazy.

[01:39:05] Uh, he went two and two over the week.

[01:39:06] He had Georgia laying the points.

[01:39:08] Uh, so he did not get that.

[01:39:10] And then he, uh, he thought the iron bowl would be a lot closer, but he got the, uh, Packers.

[01:39:18] So he finished two and two.

[01:39:19] I did two and two.

[01:39:20] You went two and two, right?

[01:39:22] So, yeah, you got George, that Cowboys.

[01:39:24] Yeah.

[01:39:24] Didn't hit that A and M and didn't hit that under in Tennessee and Vandy.

[01:39:27] They, uh, I see Mallory had army minus seven.

[01:39:32] I believe they only won by like five or so.

[01:39:35] Uh, Missouri minus three that hit Kansas.

[01:39:39] Not surprisingly did not.

[01:39:40] Baylor kind of took it to him.

[01:39:42] Housed them.

[01:39:43] Uh, and then she had the Seahawks.

[01:39:45] So she also finished two and two.

[01:39:46] So two and twos across the board this week.

[01:39:49] Uh, which means.

[01:39:51] That was a shocker though in that, uh, Kansas game.

[01:39:54] Cause you know, as hot as Kansas had been and then to get housed by the team, they got

[01:39:58] I mean, Baylor had quietly had a decent season.

[01:40:01] Yeah.

[01:40:01] Yeah.

[01:40:02] Yeah.

[01:40:05] He did his job there, I believe.

[01:40:06] Yeah, for sure.

[01:40:08] But yeah.

[01:40:08] So that means that yeah.

[01:40:10] Blaine's still leading everyone else still under 500.

[01:40:15] Yeah.

[01:40:16] Yeah.

[01:40:16] You know, there are not enough games next week.

[01:40:19] Even if you went perfect to, uh, I do need, I'm eight below five.

[01:40:24] So I need a perfect week, uh, to nail that Mal is one under 500.

[01:40:31] So she just needs to, you know, Blaine.

[01:40:33] Blaine just has to have an okay week and he'll be fine.

[01:40:37] Yeah.

[01:40:37] Nine, nine games above 500.

[01:40:39] Yeah.

[01:40:39] He kept, he kept telling me, oh, you know, towards the end I usually fall off.

[01:40:44] I'm like, where's that follow up, Blaine?

[01:40:47] Hustler.

[01:40:48] Yeah.

[01:40:49] Hustler does.
