Maybe The CFB 25 Sim Engine Isn't That Unrealistic After All

[00:00:00] At Alabama Take Projection

[00:00:06] Welcome everybody to Takin On Sports, IMTD. That is Greg. Greg, how you doing man?

[00:00:12] I am alright. Still trying to feel what happened last night, but other than that, pretty good.

[00:00:20] Yeah, I think a lot of us here, Alabama fans, are just trying to figure out what the hell that was.

[00:00:26] And the best I can describe it is, that was just an ass kicking.

[00:00:30] It was.

[00:00:30] Nice.

[00:00:31] Oklahoma lined up and just whooped our ass.

[00:00:35] Yeah.

[00:00:36] Man, I don't know what else to say.

[00:00:41] That was the first time Alabama hasn't scored a touchdown since the infamous LSU game, the 9-6 game.

[00:00:50] It was the lowest point total for Alabama since Spencer Pennington and Mark Gillian were quarterbacking the Tide.

[00:01:00] If it tells you how bad that is.

[00:01:02] Yeah.

[00:01:03] To me, it was worse than the Vandy game.

[00:01:05] I mean...

[00:01:06] Oh, by far.

[00:01:07] In name, yeah, Vandy sounds worse, but Vandy's a better team.

[00:01:11] And the offense showed up that day.

[00:01:14] You know, Jalen had a good day.

[00:01:16] The interception that day was kind of fluky.

[00:01:18] Yeah.

[00:01:19] And they did all they could.

[00:01:20] But it was the defense that couldn't.

[00:01:21] Yeah.

[00:01:23] And the same thing happened last night.

[00:01:25] And that's pretty much the Oklahoma game plan.

[00:01:27] As they ran that same kind of zone read concept.

[00:01:29] And a team that had been so terrible all year running the ball ran for over 250 yards.

[00:01:36] Ridiculous.

[00:01:37] A quarterback who hadn't had even 100 yards rushing on the season ran for over 100 yards.

[00:01:43] Yeah.

[00:01:44] And then they compounded it with defense.

[00:01:47] Brent Venable's defense just straight up dominated.

[00:01:52] Kaelin DeBoers and Sheridan's Alabama offense with Jalen Monroe.

[00:01:56] Just made them look terrible.

[00:01:59] Absolutely.

[00:02:01] You know, skudos to the Sooners.

[00:02:04] I mean, obviously, they're probably figuring why they haven't worked all year until last night.

[00:02:11] And on our side, I mean, I think we are all starting to think, hey, we're starting to get it together.

[00:02:16] It's November.

[00:02:17] We're winning games.

[00:02:18] We're looking better.

[00:02:19] We're looking better.

[00:02:20] And then that happened.

[00:02:21] And you wonder, wait, what?

[00:02:23] What?

[00:02:25] Yeah.

[00:02:25] Yeah.

[00:02:26] It came out of nowhere considering, you know, the stretch from, you know, South Carolina looked bad.

[00:02:33] But then, you know, the Missouri win, the bye, the LSU win.

[00:02:37] Obviously, it was just Mercer last week.

[00:02:39] But they handled business.

[00:02:40] And you're like, okay, this team is kind of getting comfortable in the new system.

[00:02:44] Yeah, they're coming together.

[00:02:45] And then to just go out and lay an egg like that is just terrible.

[00:02:51] And I don't know what's, I think the worst part about it was, I mean, basically, you had two weeks to get ready for this game.

[00:02:58] I mean, we had a game lastly, but clearly, I'm sure a lot of last was to get ready for OU.

[00:03:03] I would have thought.

[00:03:04] And they come out that flat.

[00:03:06] It was like they were sleepwalking at the beginning of the game.

[00:03:09] I was like, okay.

[00:03:10] But then it never got better.

[00:03:13] Yeah, yeah.

[00:03:14] Yeah.

[00:03:14] You know, a slow start in a hostile environment.

[00:03:16] Okay.

[00:03:17] You know, but you expect, especially when you expect the team to wake up and like, hey, man, this is our season on the line here.

[00:03:27] Especially when Oklahoma kept handing them opportunities to do that.

[00:03:30] You know, the missed field goal, the fumble, the drop touchdown on the trick play.

[00:03:35] You know, it was all right there.

[00:03:36] Oklahoma was just, if anything, it looked for a second like, oh, no, they're going to be in this.

[00:03:42] But they just kept handling it.

[00:03:43] Like, okay, hey, if we go down, we score here.

[00:03:45] We're going to take them out the game.

[00:03:47] Because it just never happened.

[00:03:49] And, you know, you got to lay it squarely on the hands of the coaching staff.

[00:03:52] I mean, the players didn't play well either.

[00:03:54] But they looked unprepared and unmotivated.

[00:03:59] It was, I don't even know really what to say about it.

[00:04:03] I mean, it's just, it's like, man, every day is in front of us.

[00:04:08] And that's how we show up.

[00:04:10] Like, that's just, I don't know.

[00:04:13] Yeah.

[00:04:13] I mean, and there's so many things to say.

[00:04:16] I started with that decision to kick the field goal instead of go for it on fourth and goal from the two.

[00:04:22] Yeah.

[00:04:23] When we initially lined up like we were going to go for it.

[00:04:25] And then the timeout, we come out of the timeout in the field goal formation.

[00:04:29] I hated that decision.

[00:04:30] You know, Oklahoma had done nothing all year to prove that they could put together a 98-yard drive.

[00:04:36] Exactly.

[00:04:37] Why not?

[00:04:38] Yeah.

[00:04:39] Why not go for it?

[00:04:40] Put them in the early hole.

[00:04:41] Get your offense rolling, you know.

[00:04:44] Yeah.

[00:04:46] You know, and then another game of night.

[00:04:48] And the other thing, too, the offensive line was atrocious.

[00:04:52] Like, what?

[00:04:53] They just got dominated.

[00:04:56] There was a brief spell when we started running Jam Miller.

[00:05:00] And they opened up some holes there.

[00:05:02] And he actually averaged about four yards a carry.

[00:05:06] And Justice Haynes only had three carries.

[00:05:08] And, again, there was 15 combined carries from the running backs.

[00:05:14] And I don't understand a lot.

[00:05:17] I guess I just don't understand, like, what?

[00:05:23] And it's dangerous, too, in the world of the transfer portal.

[00:05:27] Why would they stay?

[00:05:30] Exactly.

[00:05:31] Why would those guys stay?

[00:05:32] Yeah, I mean, obviously, I mean, they might be different next year, depending on what happens there.

[00:05:37] But based on what they've experienced this year, what would be the reason for staying?

[00:05:43] Yeah.

[00:05:43] Why would they stay?

[00:05:45] Why would any big-time running back recruits come there?

[00:05:49] Yeah.

[00:05:49] Why would any guys in the transfer portal want to come?

[00:05:52] And we've talked about it before.

[00:05:54] This isn't a coaching staff that's afraid to use the running backs.

[00:05:59] They had, like you mentioned it many times, they had a 1,000-yard rusher last year at Washington.

[00:06:03] Right.

[00:06:05] But it just – well, I think I first – with my notes, when I'm first pointing the fingers at Sheridan.

[00:06:13] Yeah.

[00:06:14] And his play calling, and it seems to be that there's no plan B if Jalen Noro's legs, if his running game isn't working.

[00:06:25] There's no switch to the running backs.

[00:06:28] There's no switch to the passing game.

[00:06:31] And like you said, the offensive line got dominated, but we really didn't – we're not taking downfield shots again.

[00:06:37] No.

[00:06:38] You know, we're not doing what worked early in the year.

[00:06:40] We're kind of going to what worked in those, you know, Missouri-LSU game, which is great.

[00:06:46] You know, if you've got a guy like Jalen Noro, you use that as a weapon, but you've got to have a plan B.

[00:06:52] Yeah.

[00:06:53] Because not everything's going to work.

[00:06:54] And we all know the issue at OU has not been the defense.

[00:07:00] The defense is still stout.

[00:07:01] It's just that they get tired because that offense has been atrocious this year.

[00:07:05] Mm-hmm.

[00:07:06] And lo and behold, I mean, the defense showed what they've shown, but we let the offense look good.

[00:07:12] Yeah.

[00:07:13] I mean, that's the first time that offense has looked even credible all season.

[00:07:18] Of course, it was us that made Jackson Arnold look like he was –

[00:07:23] like I guess how people expect him to be all season.

[00:07:26] I mean, that's the best that Oklahoma's offense looked since Lincoln Riley was there.

[00:07:30] Yeah.

[00:07:31] Exactly.

[00:07:33] Yeah.

[00:07:33] And I hate to say it, but I think, you know, we've kind of hinted at it and talked about it in the past,

[00:07:40] but Jalen Noro, he's hit a ceiling as a passer, and I'm not going to sit here and say we need to bench him, you know, but –

[00:07:47] No.

[00:07:48] It's too late in the season to do that now.

[00:07:50] I mean –

[00:07:50] Yeah.

[00:07:51] But you do worry about the future, you know.

[00:07:53] Do we – does he transfer out?

[00:07:56] Do we make us –

[00:07:59] I believe he's got one more year of eligibility, yeah.

[00:08:02] He does.

[00:08:03] And that's –

[00:08:05] I don't –

[00:08:06] At this point, I think it's –

[00:08:09] I think a lot of people want to see him gone.

[00:08:11] I mean, I like Jalen.

[00:08:13] He's a good guy.

[00:08:14] I mean, he's done some great things, but, I mean, it may have –

[00:08:18] It may have –

[00:08:20] I don't know.

[00:08:22] Yeah, yeah.

[00:08:23] Jalen, he's a big reason that a lot of guys stayed this offseason.

[00:08:27] Yeah.

[00:08:28] Through the coaching change.

[00:08:29] He is –

[00:08:29] Right.

[00:08:30] You know, he bleeds crimson.

[00:08:32] He's, you know –

[00:08:33] Yeah.

[00:08:34] He's a great leader for this team, and when he –

[00:08:37] Yes.

[00:08:37] When he is on his game, you know, when he can run the ball,

[00:08:39] when he can hit that deep ball, he's great, but he's –

[00:08:42] Yeah.

[00:08:42] He's not the quarterback for this offense.

[00:08:45] No.

[00:08:46] He's not.

[00:08:46] We've seen that now.

[00:08:48] He's too inconsistent, and unfortunately, he's one of these guys that where he –

[00:08:53] if he has a slow start, he never really recovers from it.

[00:08:56] No.

[00:08:56] No.

[00:08:57] He's not one of these guys that can have a slow start,

[00:08:59] and then you can get him a couple quick hitter passes or whatever to get him rolling.

[00:09:04] And like I said, some of that's on the coaching staff,

[00:09:07] because they've got to have a plan B.

[00:09:08] They've got to have –

[00:09:09] Exactly.

[00:09:12] Yeah.

[00:09:12] I mean, you know, I think, you know, we can blame –

[00:09:17] but I think yesterday was on everybody from the top down, obviously.

[00:09:21] The coaches got to have them ready to go.

[00:09:23] So, I mean, secondly, though, I mean, everything – when everything is in front of you, SEC championship game,

[00:09:34] whether that's a good thing or bad, is debatable in today's playoff world.

[00:09:39] But you have the SEC championship game right ahead of you.

[00:09:42] You went out.

[00:09:43] Missouri already did their job at B State.

[00:09:45] So, all we have to do is win two games.

[00:09:47] Mm-hmm.

[00:09:49] You know, playoffs right there.

[00:09:52] And for the players, not to be – I mean, not to have that motivation to come out and want to kill,

[00:09:58] like that's crazy.

[00:10:00] I mean, I'm sounding like the old guy, you know, on the lawn there, but, you know, get off my lawn site.

[00:10:06] But, man, I mean, in past years, that would have never happened.

[00:10:10] They would have come out ready to kill with everything right there for you, for the taking.

[00:10:15] Yeah, I mean, it's crazy.

[00:10:16] Well, and it's crazy to see, you know, against Vanderbilt, not that you – not that you understand it,

[00:10:24] but you get it.

[00:10:25] That's a team coming off that Georgia win.

[00:10:28] You – Vanderbilt's not a threat, you know.

[00:10:31] We didn't know yet anyway.

[00:10:32] So, they catch you off guard.

[00:10:35] Even the Tennessee game, that was less a coach thing.

[00:10:37] That was the players didn't execute.

[00:10:39] Like, you know, that was a – and that's a tough environment.

[00:10:43] But, you know, the Georgia game, the LSU game are big games this year.

[00:10:48] They've come out and they look well prepared.

[00:10:50] They look like they've had a good game plan.

[00:10:53] And last night, it just looked terrible.

[00:10:55] Like you said, from top down, just there was nothing –

[00:10:59] It was atrocious.

[00:10:59] There was nothing good to take away from last night.

[00:11:02] The only energy that I saw last night was on that bullshit –

[00:11:07] where they call Ryan Williams touchdown day.

[00:11:10] Yeah, just a salt in the wound.

[00:11:13] And I – man, nobody – I don't think anybody knew what the hell got called there.

[00:11:17] The ESPN official they had there, he was – didn't know what was going on.

[00:11:21] Nobody knew what the hell that call was.

[00:11:24] But, I mean, not that that would have – but maybe – I don't know.

[00:11:30] I don't know if we win that – I mean, we would have been, what, 24-10 at that point.

[00:11:34] But I think that may have changed – I don't know.

[00:11:36] Yeah, who knows?

[00:11:37] You know, yeah, yeah, you never know.

[00:11:39] You never know if that just lights a fire on the team.

[00:11:41] I think we had about 12 minutes left about, I believe.

[00:11:45] Yeah.

[00:11:45] It was still pretty early in the fourth quarter.

[00:11:49] Yeah, it was just a terrible – I had actually kind of walked out the room by then,

[00:11:53] and I'm glad I did because I would have – you know, my wife said something to me,

[00:11:57] you know, she didn't think I had stopped.

[00:12:00] She thought I might have had pulled it up on the phone or something.

[00:12:02] But I – and she's like, that's terrible.

[00:12:05] How do they do that?

[00:12:06] And I was like, what did they do?

[00:12:07] And she's, you know, she told me, and I was like, oh, I'm glad I wasn't in the room

[00:12:10] because I probably would have thrown the remote through the TV at that point.

[00:12:13] Yeah.

[00:12:14] I had to slow down, Curly, man.

[00:12:17] Yeah, that's – but I did watch the replay, and, yeah, that was just –

[00:12:22] that's a terrible call.

[00:12:23] But, you know, it takes away a great play.

[00:12:27] Yeah, right?

[00:12:28] It's just embarrassing.

[00:12:30] And that, you know, that was the same crew from the Georgia-Texas game.

[00:12:33] So that's – SEC's got to get rid of them.

[00:12:36] Just one more – one more bullet in the gun of, you know,

[00:12:40] that college refereeing is broken and needs an overhaul.

[00:12:45] And another thing, too, is they need to get more consistent on when they call,

[00:12:49] like, roughing the posture because, I mean –

[00:12:52] or because, I mean, there's plenty of times that they had their hands

[00:12:55] and Jalen's face mask and all up in his face.

[00:12:58] And I was just like, dude, they're not calling anything tonight, are they?

[00:13:02] I mean, not that I really – I mean, you know, things happen,

[00:13:05] you're not getting calls on the road, but some of them were egregious.

[00:13:08] I was just like, wow.

[00:13:10] Yeah.

[00:13:11] Yeah.

[00:13:12] But, you know, that was just how last night went.

[00:13:15] I mean, it was just –

[00:13:16] Yeah.

[00:13:16] Like I said, that's just salt in the wound, you know, just one more.

[00:13:22] But now, now you look at it and you're like, geez.

[00:13:27] Like, if folks were not motivated last night, what's the motivation now?

[00:13:33] Exactly, because that's – go ahead.

[00:13:36] And, you know, it's the Iron Bowl now.

[00:13:39] And, you know, I think our fans, we still feel as –

[00:13:43] do the players really – I don't know.

[00:13:46] Some of these newer players, I don't know,

[00:13:47] do they care about stuff like this anymore?

[00:13:50] Yeah, exactly.

[00:13:52] Who – like you said, if they're not motivated for a big road game,

[00:13:56] one you know you need to win to keep your playoff hopes alive,

[00:14:00] your SEC championship hopes alive.

[00:14:01] It's not even against a great team.

[00:14:02] It wasn't like we went to Georgia last night or even Tennessee or anything.

[00:14:08] I mean, yeah, they have a story program, but this is a bad OU team.

[00:14:11] Mm-hmm.

[00:14:13] Yeah, a team that had played bad and we let them bully us on both sides of the ball.

[00:14:19] Before this, their only win was because I ever screwed up.

[00:14:23] Yeah.

[00:14:24] And, you know, speaking of that in the Iron Bowl, you have to ask questions.

[00:14:28] The Kane Womack's defense have been playing great for a while,

[00:14:31] causing turnovers, shutting down other teams.

[00:14:34] Yeah.

[00:14:35] Really, honestly, since that Vanderbilt game, they really got their shit together.

[00:14:39] They have.

[00:14:40] Yeah.

[00:14:40] Yeah.

[00:14:41] But now you look at an offense like the one that Hugh Freeze runs,

[00:14:46] and are you telling me that he's not going to do the same damn thing

[00:14:50] and run that zone read time and time again and do little pop passes off of it?

[00:14:56] They got the receivers for it.

[00:14:58] It's like, yeah, they got some electric receivers.

[00:15:01] We saw that they're starting to play with some heart now.

[00:15:03] They get a big upset last night over Texas A&M.

[00:15:07] Yeah, they're playing for a bowl.

[00:15:09] They need to win to get to a bowl.

[00:15:12] Sadly, I think they're going to come in way more motivated than we are.

[00:15:16] I mean.

[00:15:16] Yeah.

[00:15:17] I'm guessing some people might say that a three-win Alabama or a three-loss Alabama

[00:15:22] still has a chance at an at-large bid, but I don't see it.

[00:15:25] I don't want to hear that shit.

[00:15:26] I don't want to hear that.

[00:15:26] Yeah, I don't see it.

[00:15:27] I don't give a damn about a playoff.

[00:15:30] We don't deserve anything.

[00:15:32] We had everything in front of us, so we threw it away.

[00:15:35] I don't want to see us in the playoff.

[00:15:37] We don't deserve a playoff.

[00:15:40] I don't care.

[00:15:41] Let anybody else in.

[00:15:43] Like, you know, even, you know, let's say SMU beats Miami or Miami beats SMU in the ACC

[00:15:52] title game.

[00:15:53] Let that other team in.

[00:15:54] Like, we don't deserve that.

[00:15:55] I'm sorry.

[00:15:56] Like, I love Belma, and, you know, we all do, but come on, man.

[00:16:00] We don't deserve that, man.

[00:16:02] No, I wholeheartedly agree.

[00:16:04] That's not a playoff team.

[00:16:05] No.

[00:16:06] What we've seen, the inconsistencies that last night, like you said, if your season's on

[00:16:12] the line, you know you got two games.

[00:16:13] You got to come out and win to get to that SEC title game, and they didn't handle business.

[00:16:18] And if I'm on the committee, I'm looking at that, and I don't care what the record is.

[00:16:22] I don't care what the strength of schedule is.

[00:16:24] I don't care about the Georgia win now.

[00:16:25] I'm like, that's not a playoff team.

[00:16:27] No.

[00:16:27] That's definitely not a playoff team.

[00:16:29] Yeah.

[00:16:30] We don't deserve anything to do with the playoff at all.

[00:16:34] No.

[00:16:34] Because what are we going to do in the playoff?

[00:16:37] Exactly.

[00:16:37] Yeah.

[00:16:37] I'll tell you what, next week, as far as the staff goes, DeBoer, I'm not, you know,

[00:16:43] I'm not calling for Kaelin DeBoer to get fired.

[00:16:45] He deserves his time.

[00:16:46] It's the first season, you know, players got to adjust to him.

[00:16:49] He's got to get his players in.

[00:16:50] Maybe this offense looks completely different, more consistent with, you know, a passer who's

[00:16:55] more a pocket guy, similar to Michael Penix, you know.

[00:16:59] Yes.

[00:17:01] But I do think Sheridan, I think you have to take a strong look at him.

[00:17:04] Because his play calling has not been great this year.

[00:17:07] He's a first-time coordinator.

[00:17:09] Maybe you need to demote him back to position coach or get rid of him altogether and bring

[00:17:13] in a true offensive coordinator, you know.

[00:17:18] Obviously losing.

[00:17:20] Obviously, once a grub not coming, it must have been a way bigger thing than what we had

[00:17:25] thought originally.

[00:17:26] Yeah.

[00:17:26] Yeah.

[00:17:27] Yeah.

[00:17:27] I think that's kind of obvious now.

[00:17:28] But on the other side of the ball, like I said, we've all been impressed with Womack's

[00:17:32] defense past month or so.

[00:17:34] But there were questions about it earlier in the year.

[00:17:36] And now some of those questions are coming back now.

[00:17:40] And understandably, there's a lot of injuries on defense.

[00:17:42] So you got to give them a little slack there.

[00:17:45] Lawson going down hurt.

[00:17:47] Yeah.

[00:17:47] Yeah.

[00:17:48] That's big.

[00:17:49] That's your leader.

[00:17:50] That's your play call on defense.

[00:17:52] Yeah.

[00:17:53] But if he, I think next week is not necessarily a job interview of sorts, but you have to

[00:17:59] take a look.

[00:18:00] If Auburn does come out and run all over us, just like Vanderbilt did, just like Oklahoma

[00:18:06] did last night, then you have to look at Womack and go, you might not be cut out for this

[00:18:11] league, man, because you're not adjusting.

[00:18:13] You're not doing what you need to do to game plan for this very simple shit.

[00:18:17] But, you know, this is a complex.

[00:18:19] It's nothing amazing.

[00:18:21] It's not like that Auburn shit that we had trouble with at the time.

[00:18:26] It's not the RPO stuff at all.

[00:18:29] It's nothing fancy.

[00:18:30] It's just a straight up zone read.

[00:18:32] Yeah.

[00:18:33] They passed for 64 yards last night or whatever, something like that.

[00:18:37] They did not throw the ball.

[00:18:38] But even then, they still only gave up 24 points.

[00:18:42] You know, that's a second loss this season where we've given up 24.

[00:18:47] That's been enough to beat us.

[00:18:49] Yeah.

[00:18:50] And one of them was the pick six.

[00:18:52] And, you know, those other picks, you know, gave them a short field.

[00:18:56] So, you know, the offense did the defense no favors.

[00:18:59] But still, you've got it.

[00:19:00] You cannot.

[00:19:01] Yeah.

[00:19:02] You can't get pushed around.

[00:19:03] You cannot give up 200 and some yards to a team that has been atrocious running the ball all season.

[00:19:08] You can't give up that.

[00:19:10] You can't give up that.

[00:19:11] Now, you know damn well they don't have a passing game.

[00:19:13] All the receivers are hurt.

[00:19:14] And we just, we said, hey, here you go.

[00:19:19] Yeah.

[00:19:19] Didn't stack the box.

[00:19:21] Didn't force them.

[00:19:22] The game plan going in has got to be like, all right, beat us with your arm because you're not going to run the ball.

[00:19:27] Right.

[00:19:27] Exactly.

[00:19:28] They just said, well, turns out we are.

[00:19:32] Yeah.

[00:19:33] Two weeks to get ready for that shit.

[00:19:37] I don't know.

[00:19:38] It's just frustrating.

[00:19:40] And I don't know.

[00:19:41] That's been a, you know.

[00:19:44] The bad thing is, though, is like, that's the first time.

[00:19:52] And I don't know how long we're, I've never seen us not give up.

[00:19:58] Even in games where we've lost, we've had some bursts where we get back into it.

[00:20:03] We may, you know, draw the game out.

[00:20:05] We might come up short in the end.

[00:20:06] And it never happened last night.

[00:20:08] I'm not, I don't know when the last time I haven't seen that.

[00:20:11] Outside of the championship game against Clemson.

[00:20:13] Like, outside of that, like, I don't remember the last time I saw a game where we didn't have a chance in hell of winning the game.

[00:20:20] Yeah.

[00:20:21] Yeah.

[00:20:21] That was wild.

[00:20:23] Yeah.

[00:20:24] It's insane.

[00:20:27] Yeah.

[00:20:29] Yeah.

[00:20:30] Next week, Iron Bowl playing for pride at this point.

[00:20:33] And hopefully the guys come out fired up and beat the hell out of Auburn and whatever citrus, outback bowl, whatever it is.

[00:20:42] Because, I mean, that's crazy, though.

[00:20:45] I mean, things are hot now.

[00:20:49] Don't lose Iron Bowl.

[00:20:50] No.

[00:20:51] Yeah.

[00:20:52] Yeah.

[00:20:53] If you or Kalen DeBoer, we implore you, do everything you can to not just win it, but you need to win it convincingly.

[00:20:59] Convincingly, yeah.

[00:20:59] Yeah.

[00:21:00] I'm not saying you have to beat them 50-0, but you have to leave no doubt.

[00:21:04] That game.

[00:21:06] Can't come down to a miracle-type play like last year.

[00:21:09] Yeah.

[00:21:10] No.

[00:21:10] That game needs to be over with no less than 10 minutes left in the game.

[00:21:15] Oh, absolutely.

[00:21:17] You know, that game needs to be in the bag, especially at home.

[00:21:22] Absolutely.

[00:21:22] One thing if you're going in Jordan here, but you're not.

[00:21:25] You're playing that in Tuscaloosa.

[00:21:26] A game we haven't lost at home since that trash 2010 game.

[00:21:31] Yeah, exactly.

[00:21:32] We haven't lost it there.

[00:21:33] And, you know, that was a fluke.

[00:21:34] And you're looking for the fifth Iron Bowl win in a row now, too.

[00:21:38] Yeah.

[00:21:39] So, you can't mess this up.

[00:21:41] Like, don't do it.

[00:21:42] Don't do it.

[00:21:44] Yeah.

[00:21:45] But the thing is, the only thing I'm really worried about now is who's going to be motivated

[00:21:52] to come in.

[00:21:53] Mm-hmm.

[00:21:54] Well, and like I said, it's a pride thing.

[00:21:56] So, you know, who knows?

[00:21:57] Maybe the players take it on themselves and be like, no, this isn't us.

[00:22:02] We're going to come out.

[00:22:03] We're going to show the world who we are.

[00:22:04] Yeah.

[00:22:06] Yeah.

[00:22:07] Yeah.

[00:22:08] Yeah.

[00:22:08] Like I said, as far as it comes to SEC titles and playoffs, I don't think there's anything

[00:22:15] to play for there.

[00:22:16] But it's pride at this point.

[00:22:18] And pride can be a huge motivator.

[00:22:20] Hopefully.

[00:22:21] Hopefully these guys come out.

[00:22:25] Yeah.

[00:22:26] We'll see.

[00:22:27] Yeah.

[00:22:28] Luckily, as, you know, has been in the days when we've lost this year, that wasn't the

[00:22:33] only big story to happen.

[00:22:37] Of course, early in the day, the big one was Indiana and Ohio State.

[00:22:40] And I think it went like we thought.

[00:22:42] And like, man, probably a lot of people did.

[00:22:44] But the Buckeyes rolled them.

[00:22:47] I was hoping Indiana would give them at least a little bit of a game.

[00:22:50] But they were good until that terrible snap.

[00:22:55] They ended the first half on that point.

[00:22:59] After that, Ohio State scored.

[00:23:02] Those small special teams.

[00:23:05] And then Caleb Downs had a kick return.

[00:23:09] They started off the second half.

[00:23:11] And that was pretty much ballgame after that.

[00:23:13] Ohio State did what they needed to do.

[00:23:16] Yeah.

[00:23:17] It was a big flurry.

[00:23:19] 28 points in the second and third quarter for them.

[00:23:22] To really put it away.

[00:23:24] A solid day for Will Howard.

[00:23:26] Just, like I said, they handled business.

[00:23:29] Did what they needed to do.

[00:23:31] Another team that handled business.

[00:23:32] Notre Dame.

[00:23:34] In Yankees Stadium.

[00:23:35] Just smoked Army.

[00:23:38] It's like, my goodness.

[00:23:40] Like, no.

[00:23:42] But yeah.

[00:23:42] The second time against an undefeated service academy team.

[00:23:45] You think, well, nope.

[00:23:47] Not a chance.

[00:23:48] Yeah.

[00:23:49] Army could not slog it down any more than Navy could.

[00:23:53] So, Notre Dame starting to roll.

[00:23:56] And again, just every time they do this, that NIU loss looks weirder and weirder, man.

[00:24:01] It's just one of those you look at like.

[00:24:03] They're getting better and better and better every week it seems.

[00:24:06] Like, they're looking really good right now.

[00:24:09] Yeah.

[00:24:10] They're looking phenomenal.

[00:24:13] For the Irish.

[00:24:13] They just had one more game against USC.

[00:24:16] It is in LA.

[00:24:17] So, you never know.

[00:24:18] But the craziness of this year, you definitely never know.

[00:24:23] But yeah.

[00:24:24] I would say, you know, they win there, of course.

[00:24:28] And they don't have a championship game to worry about for a conference.

[00:24:31] I would think 11-1 and the way they've been playing.

[00:24:34] They're definitely a playoff team.

[00:24:36] Oh, yeah.

[00:24:37] Absolutely.

[00:24:40] I think, yeah.

[00:24:41] I think the only thing to decide for them is, are they going to be a home or away team?

[00:24:45] I think a win, obviously.

[00:24:46] And they're probably that five seed.

[00:24:49] Yeah.

[00:24:50] Since they can't get a bye.

[00:24:51] And if they lose, they'll probably drop down to maybe that nine seed and have to go on the road.

[00:24:56] But who knows?

[00:24:57] Of course, the other big, there's a few ones, but another big SEC one in the middle of the day.

[00:25:03] Oh, wow.

[00:25:04] Ole Miss went to the swap and Florida did it, man.

[00:25:07] Wow.

[00:25:08] They get to bowl eligibility, get a huge win.

[00:25:11] Even before the Florida State game.

[00:25:13] Impressive.

[00:25:13] Yeah, even before the Florida State game.

[00:25:15] Yeah.

[00:25:15] So, maybe things slowly turn around there for Billy Napier.

[00:25:20] They actually look pretty good the last month and a half.

[00:25:24] They have.

[00:25:25] They have been.

[00:25:26] Against that tough schedule.

[00:25:28] And they did it against a team.

[00:25:29] They did very well.

[00:25:32] Yeah.

[00:25:33] Yeah.

[00:25:33] Wow.

[00:25:34] Yeah, again, another team that knew they needed to win out to really secure their place in the playoff.

[00:25:40] And, you know, they had more fight than Alabama did for sure.

[00:25:43] Oh.

[00:25:45] But, man, that end.

[00:25:47] Jackson Dart.

[00:25:47] Those interceptions.

[00:25:48] He looked atrocious.

[00:25:50] Terrible.

[00:25:51] I don't know what he was looking at.

[00:25:53] Like, there wasn't anybody there.

[00:25:55] Like, it wasn't like, I don't know what was going on there.

[00:26:00] That's where the defense was getting after him.

[00:26:02] It's neat.

[00:26:03] They were.

[00:26:04] And now it begs the question.

[00:26:06] We got to start.

[00:26:07] Why can't Lane Kiffin's team get over that hump, man?

[00:26:10] Yeah.

[00:26:10] It's not a Nick Saban thing anymore.

[00:26:13] Yeah, it's not a Nick Saban.

[00:26:14] It's not a Georgia thing.

[00:26:16] And the thing now, too, is, I mean, if you look at both, two of their losses are pretty bad.

[00:26:23] I mean, overall, Kentucky and Florida, that was pretty bad.

[00:26:29] Yeah.

[00:26:30] I mean, yes, Florida's been playing better.

[00:26:32] But, still, in the overall realm of things.

[00:26:36] No, with the money they put out in NIL and the roster they built.

[00:26:41] It seemed like an all-or-nothing type of year for Ole Miss.

[00:26:45] The expectations they put on themselves, they really fell short.

[00:26:49] So, some soul searching doing that program.

[00:26:52] Of course, they got the Egg Bowl on Friday, which, what the fuck?

[00:26:56] Why is that not on Thanksgiving night?

[00:26:58] Yeah, I will say this.

[00:27:00] One thing, just a quick aside.

[00:27:02] This is my biggest gripe at the NFL, is them encroaching in a sacred college space.

[00:27:09] Like, get the fuck off Thanksgiving night.

[00:27:12] You can have the day games.

[00:27:13] You've always had them.

[00:27:14] That's fine.

[00:27:14] That's great.

[00:27:16] Get the fuck away from the night games.

[00:27:18] And they got a Black Friday game, too.

[00:27:20] Get off Friday.

[00:27:20] Stay away from Friday.

[00:27:21] Yes.

[00:27:22] And to me, get rid of the damn Thursday games all throughout the year, except for Thanksgiving.

[00:27:27] Yeah.

[00:27:27] No, get off.

[00:27:28] Sunday and Monday.

[00:27:29] That's your day until college is done, and then you can have Saturdays.

[00:27:33] Yeah.

[00:27:34] You know, just quit being greedy.

[00:27:37] Right.

[00:27:38] You'll be fine.

[00:27:39] Yeah, you're fine.

[00:27:41] The Egg Bowl belongs on Thursday night, goddamn it.

[00:27:44] Absolutely.

[00:27:45] Absolutely.

[00:27:50] But, yeah, the only college game we got Thursday night, well, actually, it should be a good one,

[00:27:54] but Memphis and Tulane.

[00:27:57] But still, the Egg Bowl should be there.

[00:27:59] The Egg Bowl is meant for, yeah, Thanksgiving night.

[00:28:02] Yeah.

[00:28:02] Yeah.

[00:28:03] But going back to yesterday, or Saturday, it'll be Monday when y'all listen to this,

[00:28:09] but as always, our favorite conference, the Big 12, man.

[00:28:15] Oh, man.

[00:28:17] Wow.

[00:28:17] Just more chaos, man.

[00:28:20] BYU started.

[00:28:21] BYU upset again at Arizona State in a just bonkers ending.

[00:28:27] Arizona State, well, first of all, BYU missed.

[00:28:30] What's-his-face quarterback had a wide open man late in that game, streaking down the left

[00:28:36] side and just missed him, which would have been a walk-in touchdown, go-ahead touchdown.

[00:28:41] Absolutely.

[00:28:42] Next play comes out, throws a pick.

[00:28:46] Arizona State gets the ball back, get down to a goal-to-go situation,

[00:28:51] and just does the thing where they're running backwards to try to run the clock out.

[00:28:55] On fourth and goal with, like, what, 13 seconds left.

[00:28:58] Heaves it into the air after the fans rush the field, and the refs are like,

[00:29:04] hold on, we need to review this.

[00:29:06] Bro, we got a second.

[00:29:08] We got a second, which means that BYU gets the ball at midfield with a chance to throw the Hail Mary.

[00:29:14] It takes them, like, 15 minutes to get the fans off the field.

[00:29:18] You see players out there ushering the kids back into the stands.

[00:29:22] It's insane.

[00:29:23] And all that for BYU to throw it three yards short of the end zone, which I think the guy-

[00:29:28] He caught the ball, didn't he?

[00:29:30] Yeah, he caught it.

[00:29:32] I think they ruled it incomplete, but he caught it, man.

[00:29:35] And, like I said, three yards short, though, so what you going to do?

[00:29:39] I was like, whoa, he just got that.

[00:29:41] That's all, man.

[00:29:42] That's crazy.

[00:29:43] That would have been the most insane thing in the world.

[00:29:46] They were down 21 to nothing to start the game.

[00:29:48] Arizona State was kicking their ass to start, and then they fought back into it.

[00:29:53] Yeah, and they fought back hard, but Arizona State keeps winning.

[00:29:57] Later in the night, Colorado goes to Kansas and Aradhead Stadium,

[00:30:01] and Kansas again just-

[00:30:03] Yeah, Kansas kicked their ass.

[00:30:05] Where was this Kansas in the first two months of the season?

[00:30:07] My goodness.

[00:30:08] I mean, they beat Iowa State, and then they beat Iowa State.

[00:30:15] Then they beat BYU.

[00:30:16] Then they beat Colorado.

[00:30:18] I mean, obviously, something was missing.

[00:30:21] I mean, to start off the year, I watched some of their games, like an Illinois game,

[00:30:26] and then the UNLV game, and Jalen just had a lot of turnovers.

[00:30:31] They even stole picks, crazy picks.

[00:30:34] But yeah, but this team, I mean, they might be one of the hottest teams in America right now.

[00:30:39] They're just pulling off big win after big win.

[00:30:41] It's like, my goodness.

[00:30:42] I said, though, they might get both.

[00:30:44] I mean, for a team to start with one and five, and now they might be bowl eligible next week,

[00:30:48] they get the last win.

[00:30:50] Crazy.

[00:30:51] Crazy.

[00:30:52] And now, you're looking at a situation.

[00:30:54] You got four teams in the first place tie.

[00:30:59] Arizona State, BYU, Iowa State, and Colorado all tied atop the Big 12 standings.

[00:31:05] And then behind them, you have five teams, five and three.

[00:31:11] Baylor, K-State, TCU, Texas Tech, and West Virginia.

[00:31:14] And according to the Big 12, they released a thing today.

[00:31:18] All nine of those teams still have a shot at playing in the Big 12 title game.

[00:31:22] That's amazing.

[00:31:23] There are over 250 possibilities for a Big 12 title matchups.

[00:31:28] Amazing.

[00:31:29] Absolutely insane.

[00:31:30] I'm not going to go through tiebreakers here because that would just be nuts.

[00:31:35] I do think I did have it pulled up here somewhere, and I have now lost it.

[00:31:40] Hold on.

[00:31:40] Let me go find that again.

[00:31:41] But I do know one thing.

[00:31:44] I think if the four teams currently at top, if they all win,

[00:31:51] then the title game will be – let's see.

[00:31:55] I had it here.

[00:32:01] I believe it's Arizona State, Iowa State.

[00:32:04] If the teams currently at tied for top, I'll win.

[00:32:09] Arizona State and Iowa State.

[00:32:11] That's crazy.

[00:32:12] That's crazy.

[00:32:13] There's a chance we get an Arizona State BYU rematch.

[00:32:16] If some favorites are in.

[00:32:18] But next week you got Oklahoma State at Colorado,

[00:32:21] West Virginia at Texas Tech,

[00:32:23] Kansas at Baylor,

[00:32:25] Arizona State, Arizona,

[00:32:27] TCU Cincinnati,

[00:32:30] K-State at Iowa State,

[00:32:32] and then Houston visits BYU.

[00:32:34] So just insane.

[00:32:37] Who knows?

[00:32:38] Yeah.

[00:32:39] Who the fuck knows?

[00:32:40] Most of those are Saturday.

[00:32:42] Oklahoma State, Colorado is a Friday game.

[00:32:44] So you would think Colorado shouldn't have a problem winning that one at home.

[00:32:49] Yeah, you would think.

[00:32:51] Yeah.

[00:32:51] But who knows?

[00:32:52] Just an absolutely insane conference this year.

[00:32:56] Just wild.

[00:32:58] I mean, there's a chance you can get Baylor and Texas Tech in this title game.

[00:33:03] There's a chance you could see Baylor and Kansas State.

[00:33:06] There's a chance.

[00:33:07] Here we go.

[00:33:09] If Iowa State –

[00:33:10] Let's see.

[00:33:11] If Kansas State beats Iowa State,

[00:33:13] Oklahoma State beats Colorado,

[00:33:14] Arizona beats Arizona State,

[00:33:16] Houston beats BYU,

[00:33:18] Cincinnati beats TCU –

[00:33:20] or no, excuse me,

[00:33:21] TCU beats Cincinnati,

[00:33:22] and Baylor beats Kansas,

[00:33:23] there will be an eight-way tie for first place in the Big 12.

[00:33:30] Chaos.

[00:33:30] Which I think would mean a Baylor-Kansas State.

[00:33:34] It's too confusing,

[00:33:36] but absolutely insane.

[00:33:39] Chaos.

[00:33:40] It's beautiful.

[00:33:40] Yeah.

[00:33:42] When it doesn't happen to your team,

[00:33:44] it's great.

[00:33:45] Yeah.

[00:33:46] But then, man,

[00:33:46] the Big 12 have just been a –

[00:33:48] they've lived up to all our expectations.

[00:33:51] Week in, week out.

[00:33:53] I mean, it's just been the most fun.

[00:33:55] Fun thing to watch

[00:33:56] because every week you think you finally have something figured out

[00:33:59] and then it goes haywire.

[00:34:02] Yeah.

[00:34:02] You know,

[00:34:03] at this point,

[00:34:04] going into this week,

[00:34:05] I think, well,

[00:34:05] the Colorados got it together.

[00:34:07] They're –

[00:34:08] I mean,

[00:34:08] they're playing good football.

[00:34:10] They won, like,

[00:34:11] four in a row.

[00:34:12] They're winning pretty convincingly.

[00:34:14] It should be –

[00:34:15] I mean,

[00:34:16] Kansas has been tough,

[00:34:17] but I think they'll be fine.

[00:34:19] And I don't know.

[00:34:20] They're not fine.

[00:34:21] They're not even in the game at all.

[00:34:23] No.

[00:34:23] Yeah.

[00:34:24] Ken,

[00:34:25] all credit to Lance Leopold and Kansas State.

[00:34:27] Yeah.

[00:34:27] They just took them out,

[00:34:29] frustrated the Buffaloes.

[00:34:31] Man.

[00:34:32] Man.

[00:34:32] And, yeah.

[00:34:33] So,

[00:34:33] Colorado,

[00:34:35] reset,

[00:34:35] still shot at the Big 12 title

[00:34:37] in a playoff course,

[00:34:38] but we said it before the season,

[00:34:40] there might not be

[00:34:41] an elite team in this league,

[00:34:43] but, man,

[00:34:44] this is a pretty even league

[00:34:45] from top to bottom.

[00:34:47] Such a fun league.

[00:34:48] It may not be the way

[00:34:49] we thought it was going to play out,

[00:34:50] but it's still just fun.

[00:34:52] Yeah.

[00:34:53] Absolutely.

[00:34:54] The Wild West.

[00:34:55] Other conference championship,

[00:35:00] Georgia clinched a spot

[00:35:01] in the SEC title game.

[00:35:03] They will play the winner

[00:35:04] of Texas

[00:35:05] and Texas A&M.

[00:35:07] and Georgia

[00:35:08] didn't even have to do anything.

[00:35:09] Yeah,

[00:35:10] they played UMass

[00:35:10] and I will say

[00:35:12] one interesting development

[00:35:13] in that game,

[00:35:14] UMass ran for over 200 yards

[00:35:15] on Georgia.

[00:35:16] They did.

[00:35:17] And they were up early.

[00:35:19] Yeah,

[00:35:19] they scored first touchdowns

[00:35:21] and Georgia

[00:35:22] didn't really put it away

[00:35:23] until the second half.

[00:35:24] Yeah.

[00:35:25] But,

[00:35:26] that is not what you want to see

[00:35:28] if you're a Georgia fan

[00:35:29] when Georgia Tech

[00:35:30] comes next week.

[00:35:31] No.

[00:35:32] Because that is a team

[00:35:34] that wants to run the ball

[00:35:37] and they are going to do it.

[00:35:39] Oh yeah,

[00:35:40] absolutely.

[00:35:41] Luckily for Georgia,

[00:35:42] you know,

[00:35:43] that one's in Samford Stadium

[00:35:44] and that's another Friday game.

[00:35:47] Yeah.

[00:35:47] Friday evening at 630.

[00:35:49] Pretty good lineup

[00:35:50] for Friday games,

[00:35:51] but.

[00:35:52] It is.

[00:35:52] It's very nice.

[00:35:54] Yeah,

[00:35:55] that's,

[00:35:55] that's,

[00:35:56] it could be interesting

[00:35:58] one in Georgia though.

[00:35:59] Kind of a,

[00:36:00] that's almost like a freebie though.

[00:36:02] Even if they lose it,

[00:36:03] they can still turn around

[00:36:04] when the SEC title.

[00:36:05] When the SEC title

[00:36:06] and get in no matter what.

[00:36:07] Yeah,

[00:36:08] and they'd be one of the five

[00:36:09] highest conference champions.

[00:36:11] Yeah.

[00:36:11] All right.

[00:36:11] The tricky thing though

[00:36:12] is if they were to

[00:36:14] lose that game,

[00:36:17] I'll give them

[00:36:18] their third loss

[00:36:21] and they lose

[00:36:22] that SEC title game,

[00:36:23] and there's no chance

[00:36:24] of getting in.

[00:36:25] they're done,

[00:36:25] yeah.

[00:36:25] They're four.

[00:36:26] But I mean,

[00:36:27] that'd be a tough,

[00:36:29] tough thing.

[00:36:29] I will say 19 and a half

[00:36:31] a pretty huge ass line.

[00:36:33] I would think

[00:36:35] Georgia Tech covers that,

[00:36:37] but.

[00:36:38] Yeah.

[00:36:38] Who knows?

[00:36:39] Maybe Georgia will just come out

[00:36:40] and handle their shit,

[00:36:42] but Georgia Tech,

[00:36:43] they're a fighter this year.

[00:36:45] Yeah.

[00:36:46] Brent Key's got them boys going.

[00:36:48] Yeah.

[00:36:49] SMU.

[00:36:50] There's such a different team

[00:36:51] with Hayden King.

[00:36:53] Hayden King has been playing

[00:36:54] such a different team.

[00:36:57] For sure.

[00:36:58] I was just saying SMU

[00:37:00] also clinched a spot

[00:37:01] in their title game,

[00:37:01] ACC title game.

[00:37:03] SMU will be there.

[00:37:05] Yeah,

[00:37:05] they handle business.

[00:37:06] They will play Miami

[00:37:08] if Miami takes care

[00:37:10] of their business

[00:37:10] and beat Syracuse next week.

[00:37:12] If Syracuse pulls the upset,

[00:37:13] Not a Clemson, right?

[00:37:14] Yeah,

[00:37:14] then it's Clemson.

[00:37:16] Either way,

[00:37:17] great first season

[00:37:18] and the ACC for

[00:37:20] the Mustangs.

[00:37:22] Again,

[00:37:23] I've said it a million times

[00:37:24] and I'm just going to say it again,

[00:37:25] the Big 12 fucked up

[00:37:26] by not getting SMU

[00:37:27] back in the conference

[00:37:28] at some point

[00:37:29] during all this conference

[00:37:30] realignment madness

[00:37:31] over the last decade.

[00:37:33] Yeah,

[00:37:34] especially.

[00:37:35] Yeah.

[00:37:37] Just especially

[00:37:38] with just how happy

[00:37:39] the money is

[00:37:41] or the support

[00:37:41] to the SMU program

[00:37:43] that they're back

[00:37:44] in a big time conference.

[00:37:45] I mean,

[00:37:45] they're pouring in money

[00:37:46] left and right.

[00:37:51] Surprisingly,

[00:37:54] the Big 10 title game

[00:37:56] not quite set.

[00:37:57] Oregon does have

[00:37:59] their spot in it,

[00:38:00] but Ohio State

[00:38:00] still needs to beat Michigan.

[00:38:03] Yeah.

[00:38:03] If they do not,

[00:38:05] then Penn State

[00:38:06] with a win over Maryland

[00:38:07] would get in.

[00:38:09] And if somehow

[00:38:09] both of those games

[00:38:10] end in upsets,

[00:38:12] then Indiana,

[00:38:13] as long as they beat Purdue,

[00:38:15] finds themselves

[00:38:15] back in the Big 10

[00:38:16] title picture.

[00:38:18] And it's going to be

[00:38:19] interesting.

[00:38:20] I would think

[00:38:21] Ohio State

[00:38:22] handled Michigan

[00:38:23] finally.

[00:38:25] You would think

[00:38:26] if they don't,

[00:38:27] man,

[00:38:27] you would think

[00:38:28] this is the year

[00:38:28] that they don't do

[00:38:29] it this year.

[00:38:30] My goodness.

[00:38:31] Oh,

[00:38:31] yeah.

[00:38:32] I believe

[00:38:33] that opening lines

[00:38:33] around 20.

[00:38:35] So,

[00:38:35] yeah.

[00:38:36] That is

[00:38:38] so any frustrations

[00:38:39] that they've had

[00:38:40] the last couple of years,

[00:38:41] you would think

[00:38:42] that they're going to

[00:38:42] take it all out

[00:38:44] on Saturday morning

[00:38:45] there.

[00:38:47] Yeah.

[00:38:47] But

[00:38:48] you would think

[00:38:49] that they're taking

[00:38:49] all frustrations out

[00:38:52] and then we'll see

[00:38:53] a rematch

[00:38:53] of what was a great

[00:38:54] game in Eugene

[00:38:55] on a neutral field.

[00:38:57] I would suspect

[00:38:58] the Buckeyes

[00:38:59] would come in

[00:39:00] the favorite

[00:39:01] and I would,

[00:39:02] it's hard to beat

[00:39:03] a team like that

[00:39:03] two times in a season.

[00:39:05] Let's just say.

[00:39:07] Yeah.

[00:39:07] The good thing is,

[00:39:08] of course,

[00:39:08] Oregon have no losses

[00:39:10] on the season.

[00:39:10] I mean,

[00:39:11] their playoff team

[00:39:12] regardless,

[00:39:13] you would,

[00:39:14] I mean,

[00:39:15] yeah.

[00:39:15] So,

[00:39:16] I mean,

[00:39:16] they'll be good

[00:39:17] either way.

[00:39:17] It's just a matter

[00:39:18] of seeding for them

[00:39:19] more or less,

[00:39:19] but,

[00:39:21] yeah.

[00:39:24] Yeah,

[00:39:25] it should be a fun

[00:39:26] rivalry week

[00:39:28] as it usually is

[00:39:29] but,

[00:39:30] you have,

[00:39:33] yeah,

[00:39:35] we mentioned

[00:39:35] only the one game

[00:39:37] Thursday night

[00:39:38] unfortunately,

[00:39:39] Memphis,

[00:39:40] Tulane.

[00:39:40] Tulane and Memphis.

[00:39:41] Tulane's already

[00:39:42] in their title

[00:39:43] but they want to

[00:39:43] keep winning

[00:39:44] for that playoff spot

[00:39:46] because Boise State

[00:39:47] kind of struggled

[00:39:48] at Wyoming last night.

[00:39:49] dude.

[00:39:50] Got the win.

[00:39:51] So,

[00:39:52] that's the important

[00:39:52] part but,

[00:39:53] yeah.

[00:39:55] they,

[00:39:56] but being that

[00:39:56] Tulane is 9-2

[00:39:58] on the season,

[00:40:00] like,

[00:40:02] is there,

[00:40:04] are they,

[00:40:05] do they really

[00:40:06] have a shot?

[00:40:08] The saving grace

[00:40:09] with them

[00:40:09] is that those losses

[00:40:10] were both to power

[00:40:11] conference teams

[00:40:12] at Oklahoma

[00:40:13] and then

[00:40:13] K-State.

[00:40:15] Yeah.

[00:40:15] And they were in,

[00:40:16] and they played

[00:40:17] decently

[00:40:18] in both those games

[00:40:19] games.

[00:40:19] Yeah,

[00:40:20] and they really

[00:40:20] handled their

[00:40:21] business in the

[00:40:22] American Conference

[00:40:23] so if they come

[00:40:23] out and really

[00:40:24] beat the hell

[00:40:24] out of Memphis

[00:40:25] and then beat

[00:40:26] the hell

[00:40:26] out of Army

[00:40:27] then they're

[00:40:28] making a case

[00:40:28] but they,

[00:40:29] I think Boise State

[00:40:30] would have to lose.

[00:40:31] Yeah,

[00:40:32] for sure.

[00:40:32] And it's not easy

[00:40:34] for Boise,

[00:40:34] I mean,

[00:40:34] they're gonna

[00:40:35] probably play

[00:40:35] the UNLV team

[00:40:36] again today

[00:40:37] that was a good

[00:40:38] Friday night game

[00:40:39] so.

[00:40:41] Yeah,

[00:40:42] I haven't seen

[00:40:43] I guess that was

[00:40:47] a mid-determine,

[00:40:48] yeah.

[00:40:49] Yeah,

[00:40:49] I'm trying to think

[00:40:49] because Colorado State

[00:40:50] did go down

[00:40:53] so

[00:40:56] let's see

[00:40:56] if I can find this

[00:40:59] there

[00:41:00] and it was

[00:41:00] most likely

[00:41:01] UNLV

[00:41:01] but

[00:41:02] if

[00:41:03] UNLV

[00:41:04] does

[00:41:06] lose

[00:41:06] to

[00:41:07] who are they

[00:41:07] playing?

[00:41:08] Nevada

[00:41:08] next week

[00:41:09] and be a big upset.

[00:41:10] And it would be

[00:41:10] Colorado State

[00:41:11] because we're 5-0-1.

[00:41:14] Yeah,

[00:41:14] as long as

[00:41:14] Colorado State

[00:41:15] beat Utah State

[00:41:16] the Rams

[00:41:17] would sneak in there

[00:41:18] but

[00:41:19] all UNLV

[00:41:20] has to do

[00:41:21] is beat a

[00:41:21] very subpar

[00:41:22] Nevada team

[00:41:23] and

[00:41:25] they will get in.

[00:41:26] Other

[00:41:28] conferences

[00:41:28] Jacksonville State

[00:41:30] has clinched

[00:41:31] a spot

[00:41:31] in the Conference USA

[00:41:32] title game.

[00:41:34] Liberty

[00:41:35] looks like

[00:41:36] the favorite

[00:41:37] to join them.

[00:41:38] they need to beat

[00:41:39] Sam Houston

[00:41:40] on Friday.

[00:41:41] If they don't

[00:41:43] do that

[00:41:45] then

[00:41:45] either

[00:41:46] Sam Houston

[00:41:46] themselves

[00:41:47] or

[00:41:47] Western Kentucky

[00:41:48] could get

[00:41:49] that

[00:41:50] spot

[00:41:51] against

[00:41:53] Jacksonville State

[00:41:54] which

[00:41:54] Kentucky

[00:41:54] actually plays

[00:41:55] Jacksonville State

[00:41:56] so they would need

[00:41:57] to

[00:41:57] beat them

[00:41:59] twice

[00:41:59] with champions.

[00:42:00] Sunbelt

[00:42:01] looks like

[00:42:04] Marshall

[00:42:05] is in the favor

[00:42:06] in the East

[00:42:09] they're the one

[00:42:12] one of the few

[00:42:12] with still divisions

[00:42:13] so

[00:42:14] yeah

[00:42:14] the only one

[00:42:15] with the divisions

[00:42:16] yeah

[00:42:17] let's see

[00:42:18] reading this

[00:42:21] Louisiana

[00:42:22] raging

[00:42:23] Cajuns

[00:42:25] 6-1

[00:42:27] yeah

[00:42:27] looks like

[00:42:29] the favorites

[00:42:29] they just need

[00:42:30] to handle

[00:42:30] their business

[00:42:31] right

[00:42:33] and then

[00:42:34] in the

[00:42:34] Mac

[00:42:35] you still

[00:42:35] have a

[00:42:36] three-way tie

[00:42:37] for first

[00:42:37] between

[00:42:37] Bowling Green

[00:42:38] Miami

[00:42:39] and Ohio

[00:42:41] Miami

[00:42:42] plays

[00:42:43] Bowling Green

[00:42:44] on Friday

[00:42:45] so that's

[00:42:45] when

[00:42:46] you clinch

[00:42:48] a spot

[00:42:48] in the title

[00:42:49] game

[00:42:49] Ohio

[00:42:50] plays

[00:42:52] Ball State

[00:42:53] 8

[00:42:53] so

[00:42:53] it should

[00:42:54] handle

[00:42:55] business

[00:42:55] there

[00:42:56] you would

[00:42:56] hope so

[00:42:57] but who

[00:42:59] knows

[00:42:59] that crazy

[00:43:00] action

[00:43:01] but uh

[00:43:01] yeah

[00:43:02] fun

[00:43:02] rivalry

[00:43:03] coming up

[00:43:04] wow

[00:43:04] um

[00:43:05] so yeah

[00:43:06] and of course

[00:43:06] you have

[00:43:07] you know

[00:43:07] your usuals

[00:43:08] like we said

[00:43:08] the Egg Bowl

[00:43:09] is there

[00:43:09] that's always

[00:43:09] a crazy

[00:43:10] one

[00:43:11] shouldn't

[00:43:12] be a problem

[00:43:13] for Ole Miss

[00:43:13] this year

[00:43:14] but again

[00:43:14] it's

[00:43:15] Tennessee

[00:43:18] travels to

[00:43:19] Nashville

[00:43:19] to play

[00:43:20] Vanderbilt

[00:43:20] Vanderbilt

[00:43:21] lost to

[00:43:22] LSU

[00:43:22] last night

[00:43:23] so they're

[00:43:23] they kind of

[00:43:24] fallen

[00:43:25] there was

[00:43:25] with two

[00:43:25] in a row

[00:43:26] yeah

[00:43:26] they kind of

[00:43:27] some steam

[00:43:28] but they

[00:43:28] would love

[00:43:28] to play

[00:43:29] spoiler

[00:43:29] to Tennessee's

[00:43:30] playoff

[00:43:31] chances

[00:43:33] that would

[00:43:33] be huge

[00:43:35] and now

[00:43:36] a big one

[00:43:36] uh

[00:43:37] telling you

[00:43:38] they're on

[00:43:38] Saturday

[00:43:39] at 11

[00:43:40] in Clemson

[00:43:41] South Carolina

[00:43:42] Clemson

[00:43:43] all of a sudden

[00:43:44] South Carolina

[00:43:45] might have

[00:43:46] a shot

[00:43:46] to sneak

[00:43:47] in the

[00:43:47] playoff

[00:43:48] yeah

[00:43:49] uh

[00:43:49] if they can

[00:43:50] beat Clemson

[00:43:51] and especially

[00:43:51] if they do

[00:43:52] it impressively

[00:43:53] that would

[00:43:54] be huge

[00:43:55] yeah

[00:43:56] and even

[00:43:58] I mean

[00:43:59] even if

[00:44:00] they don't

[00:44:00] even if

[00:44:01] they get

[00:44:01] them in

[00:44:02] just to

[00:44:02] be able

[00:44:02] to say

[00:44:03] hey

[00:44:03] we

[00:44:03] made sure

[00:44:04] Clemson

[00:44:04] they get

[00:44:05] it

[00:44:05] you know

[00:44:06] because Clemson

[00:44:06] with the two

[00:44:07] losses

[00:44:07] putting them

[00:44:09] out for

[00:44:09] sure

[00:44:09] uh

[00:44:11] yeah

[00:44:12] at the

[00:44:13] least

[00:44:13] like you

[00:44:14] said

[00:44:14] yeah

[00:44:14] that's

[00:44:14] they can

[00:44:15] really

[00:44:16] add another

[00:44:17] great win

[00:44:18] for their

[00:44:21] uh

[00:44:21] program

[00:44:22] and ruin

[00:44:23] their

[00:44:24] rivals

[00:44:24] program

[00:44:25] yeah

[00:44:26] um

[00:44:28] so

[00:44:29] you know

[00:44:30] it just

[00:44:30] uh

[00:44:34] you know

[00:44:35] it

[00:44:35] it's just

[00:44:37] fun

[00:44:37] it's fun

[00:44:38] it sucks

[00:44:38] it as

[00:44:39] Alabama fans

[00:44:40] that you

[00:44:40] know

[00:44:40] we're just

[00:44:41] playing for

[00:44:41] pride at

[00:44:41] this point

[00:44:42] but

[00:44:42] like you

[00:44:43] said

[00:44:44] I don't

[00:44:44] want to

[00:44:44] hear all

[00:44:44] these

[00:44:51] you know

[00:44:51] it doesn't

[00:44:53] like

[00:44:53] and then

[00:44:53] the

[00:44:53] games

[00:44:54] we did

[00:44:54] lose

[00:44:55] I mean

[00:44:55] two of

[00:44:56] those

[00:44:56] games

[00:44:57] like

[00:44:58] don't

[00:44:58] even

[00:44:58] look

[00:44:58] good

[00:44:59] still

[00:45:00] like

[00:45:00] it's

[00:45:00] still

[00:45:00] Vanderbilt

[00:45:01] and it's

[00:45:01] a bad

[00:45:02] OU

[00:45:02] team

[00:45:02] those

[00:45:02] two

[00:45:03] losses

[00:45:03] do not

[00:45:03] look

[00:45:04] good

[00:45:04] in any

[00:45:04] way

[00:45:05] there's

[00:45:05] no way

[00:45:06] to

[00:45:06] really

[00:45:07] doll

[00:45:08] that up

[00:45:08] like

[00:45:09] it's

[00:45:09] just

[00:45:10] two bad

[00:45:11] losses

[00:45:11] we have

[00:45:12] three

[00:45:12] on the

[00:45:12] season

[00:45:15] is what

[00:45:15] it is

[00:45:16] you know

[00:45:16] we just

[00:45:17] need to

[00:45:17] accept

[00:45:17] that

[00:45:19] and

[00:45:19] you know

[00:45:19] really

[00:45:20] it'll be

[00:45:20] interesting

[00:45:21] how we

[00:45:21] play

[00:45:23] in Iron

[00:45:24] Bowl

[00:45:24] and then

[00:45:25] from there

[00:45:25] you know

[00:45:26] with everything

[00:45:27] with the

[00:45:27] transfer

[00:45:28] portal

[00:45:28] and everything

[00:45:29] else

[00:45:29] it'll be

[00:45:29] interesting

[00:45:29] to see

[00:45:30] what we

[00:45:30] do

[00:45:32] yeah

[00:45:32] who's

[00:45:33] coming

[00:45:33] who's

[00:45:33] going

[00:45:34] if we're

[00:45:34] running

[00:45:35] the same

[00:45:35] coaching

[00:45:35] staff

[00:45:36] I would

[00:45:36] assume

[00:45:36] there's

[00:45:37] some

[00:45:37] changes

[00:45:37] there

[00:45:37] but

[00:45:38] we'll

[00:45:39] have a

[00:45:39] lot of

[00:45:39] news

[00:45:40] in the

[00:45:40] next

[00:45:40] couple

[00:45:41] weeks

[00:45:41] I

[00:45:41] think

[00:45:42] yeah

[00:45:43] for sure

[00:45:44] and a

[00:45:45] lot of

[00:45:45] it

[00:45:45] will

[00:45:45] depend

[00:45:45] on

[00:45:46] I

[00:45:46] think

[00:45:46] what

[00:45:46] happens

[00:45:47] to

[00:45:47] next

[00:45:48] Saturday

[00:45:48] in

[00:45:48] Tuscaloosa

[00:45:49] oh

[00:45:50] absolutely

[00:45:51] but let's

[00:45:52] go ahead

[00:45:53] and move

[00:45:53] on to

[00:45:53] the

[00:45:53] pro

[00:45:53] game

[00:45:55] another

[00:45:55] kind

[00:45:56] of

[00:45:56] crazy

[00:45:56] upset

[00:45:57] day

[00:45:57] in the

[00:45:57] pros

[00:45:57] too

[00:45:59] your

[00:45:59] cowboys

[00:46:00] upset

[00:46:01] the

[00:46:01] commanders

[00:46:01] in just

[00:46:02] an insane

[00:46:03] fourth

[00:46:03] quarter

[00:46:04] man

[00:46:05] you get

[00:46:06] the

[00:46:07] kick

[00:46:08] return

[00:46:09] for a

[00:46:10] touchdown

[00:46:10] my boy

[00:46:11] uh

[00:46:12] turban

[00:46:12] just a

[00:46:13] wild

[00:46:14] that

[00:46:14] spin

[00:46:15] move

[00:46:16] yeah

[00:46:16] just

[00:46:16] fumbles

[00:46:17] the ball

[00:46:17] on the

[00:46:18] kick

[00:46:18] return

[00:46:19] picks it

[00:46:19] up

[00:46:19] at the

[00:46:19] one

[00:46:20] hits

[00:46:20] a

[00:46:20] spin

[00:46:20] move

[00:46:21] and then

[00:46:21] all of

[00:46:21] a sudden

[00:46:21] finds a

[00:46:22] lane

[00:46:22] and just

[00:46:23] smokes

[00:46:23] everybody

[00:46:24] um

[00:46:25] the

[00:46:26] the

[00:46:27] score

[00:46:27] was

[00:46:27] 10

[00:46:28] to

[00:46:28] 9

[00:46:28] heading

[00:46:29] into

[00:46:29] the

[00:46:30] fourth

[00:46:30] quarter

[00:46:31] it

[00:46:31] ended

[00:46:31] up

[00:46:31] being

[00:46:31] 34

[00:46:32] 26

[00:46:32] yeah

[00:46:33] we

[00:46:34] scored

[00:46:34] 24

[00:46:34] in

[00:46:35] the

[00:46:35] fourth

[00:46:35] quarter

[00:46:35] they

[00:46:35] scored

[00:46:36] 17

[00:46:36] and

[00:46:37] just

[00:46:38] the

[00:46:38] wildness

[00:46:38] of it

[00:46:39] that

[00:46:39] they

[00:46:39] missed

[00:46:39] the

[00:46:39] extra

[00:46:40] point

[00:46:41] about

[00:46:42] so

[00:46:42] well

[00:46:43] that

[00:46:44] kickoff

[00:46:44] return

[00:46:44] that

[00:46:45] was

[00:46:45] about

[00:46:45] a

[00:46:45] little

[00:46:45] under

[00:46:46] three

[00:46:46] minutes

[00:46:46] left

[00:46:46] that

[00:46:47] gave

[00:46:47] Dallas

[00:46:48] a

[00:46:49] 10

[00:46:49] point

[00:46:49] lead

[00:46:50] with

[00:46:50] under

[00:46:50] three

[00:46:51] minutes

[00:46:51] ago

[00:46:52] Washington

[00:46:53] gets

[00:46:53] on their

[00:46:54] next

[00:46:54] drive

[00:46:55] a

[00:46:55] quick

[00:46:55] 51

[00:46:56] yard

[00:46:56] field

[00:46:56] goal

[00:46:57] get

[00:46:58] the

[00:46:58] ball

[00:46:58] back

[00:46:59] 86

[00:46:59] yard

[00:47:00] touchdown

[00:47:00] pass

[00:47:01] to

[00:47:01] seemingly

[00:47:02] tie

[00:47:02] it

[00:47:02] missed

[00:47:03] extra

[00:47:04] point

[00:47:04] and then

[00:47:04] on the

[00:47:05] onside

[00:47:05] kick

[00:47:06] uh

[00:47:07] was it

[00:47:07] Johnny

[00:47:08] Thomas

[00:47:09] picks it

[00:47:10] up and

[00:47:10] just takes

[00:47:10] it for a

[00:47:11] touchdown

[00:47:12] you could

[00:47:13] see Mike

[00:47:13] McCarthy

[00:47:14] and some

[00:47:14] other

[00:47:14] coaches

[00:47:15] want him

[00:47:15] to get

[00:47:15] down

[00:47:16] but again

[00:47:16] is he

[00:47:17] taking

[00:47:25] score

[00:47:25] where we

[00:47:26] haven't had

[00:47:27] shit

[00:47:27] go our

[00:47:28] way all

[00:47:28] season

[00:47:29] you gotta

[00:47:30] look at

[00:47:30] it

[00:47:31] you gotta

[00:47:31] look at

[00:47:31] it

[00:47:32] too

[00:47:32] Dallas

[00:47:33] tried to

[00:47:33] do

[00:47:33] everything

[00:47:34] they could

[00:47:34] to give

[00:47:34] up that

[00:47:35] game

[00:47:35] we tried

[00:47:36] to be

[00:47:36] the most

[00:47:37] Dallas

[00:47:37] Cowboys

[00:47:38] way of

[00:47:38] doing

[00:47:38] things

[00:47:39] and we

[00:47:40] still

[00:47:40] found a

[00:47:41] way to

[00:47:41] win

[00:47:41] run

[00:47:42] that

[00:47:42] ball

[00:47:43] yeah

[00:47:44] that's

[00:47:44] a special

[00:47:45] teams

[00:47:45] player

[00:47:45] you don't

[00:47:46] get a

[00:47:46] shot

[00:47:46] that

[00:47:47] score

[00:47:47] touchdown

[00:47:47] all the

[00:47:48] time

[00:47:48] absolutely

[00:47:49] get your

[00:47:50] shine

[00:47:51] man

[00:47:51] yeah

[00:47:51] and now

[00:47:52] we're

[00:47:53] four and

[00:47:53] seven

[00:47:54] Giants

[00:47:55] on

[00:47:55] Thanksgiving

[00:47:56] we should

[00:47:56] be able to

[00:47:57] win that

[00:47:57] game

[00:47:57] because

[00:47:58] if there's

[00:47:59] a team

[00:47:59] that's way

[00:47:59] worse than

[00:48:00] us

[00:48:00] it's the

[00:48:01] Giants

[00:48:01] yeah

[00:48:03] officially

[00:48:04] ended the

[00:48:04] Danny Dimes

[00:48:05] era this

[00:48:06] week

[00:48:06] released

[00:48:07] that's just

[00:48:08] wild

[00:48:08] does he get

[00:48:09] to keep

[00:48:09] all that

[00:48:09] money

[00:48:10] I think

[00:48:11] I don't

[00:48:12] know how

[00:48:12] that works

[00:48:13] there are

[00:48:13] some

[00:48:13] guarantees

[00:48:14] and he

[00:48:14] keeps

[00:48:15] some

[00:48:15] of it

[00:48:15] and I

[00:48:15] think

[00:48:16] he has

[00:48:17] to clear

[00:48:18] waivers

[00:48:18] if a team

[00:48:19] claims them

[00:48:19] on waivers

[00:48:20] and they

[00:48:20] have to

[00:48:21] pay him

[00:48:21] a certain

[00:48:21] amount

[00:48:22] I don't

[00:48:22] anybody's

[00:48:23] claiming

[00:48:23] that he

[00:48:23] dimes

[00:48:24] off

[00:48:24] waivers

[00:48:25] I don't

[00:48:25] think

[00:48:25] everything

[00:48:26] I've seen

[00:48:27] is though

[00:48:28] everybody

[00:48:28] will wait

[00:48:29] for him

[00:48:29] to clear

[00:48:29] waivers

[00:48:30] and then

[00:48:30] they'll

[00:48:30] try to

[00:48:31] sign

[00:48:31] him

[00:48:31] to

[00:48:31] like

[00:48:31] a

[00:48:31] contract

[00:48:33] I've seen

[00:48:33] weirdly

[00:48:34] the Ravens

[00:48:35] are apparently

[00:48:35] one of the

[00:48:35] teams that are

[00:48:36] interested

[00:48:36] I guess

[00:48:37] as a backup

[00:48:39] sure

[00:48:40] whatever

[00:48:40] okay

[00:48:43] I guess

[00:48:44] you know

[00:48:44] we still

[00:48:45] when we

[00:48:46] got Josh

[00:48:47] Johnson

[00:48:47] still backing

[00:48:47] us up

[00:48:48] you know

[00:48:48] his

[00:48:48] 47th

[00:48:49] year in

[00:48:50] the league

[00:48:51] yeah

[00:48:53] so sure

[00:48:54] why not

[00:48:54] the life

[00:48:55] of a

[00:48:55] backup

[00:48:55] quarterback

[00:48:56] is good

[00:48:57] times

[00:48:58] yeah

[00:48:59] right

[00:48:59] career

[00:49:00] does

[00:49:00] career

[00:49:00] ask

[00:49:01] chase

[00:49:01] Daniel

[00:49:01] man

[00:49:03] but

[00:49:04] that

[00:49:04] wasn't

[00:49:04] the only

[00:49:05] one

[00:49:06] the

[00:49:06] Browns

[00:49:07] on

[00:49:07] Thursday

[00:49:07] night

[00:49:07] in the

[00:49:08] snow

[00:49:08] upset

[00:49:08] the

[00:49:09] Steelers

[00:49:11] man

[00:49:11] just

[00:49:12] when the

[00:49:12] Steelers

[00:49:13] were

[00:49:14] really

[00:49:14] getting

[00:49:14] momentum

[00:49:16] yeah

[00:49:16] just

[00:49:17] when the

[00:49:17] Steelers

[00:49:17] were looking

[00:49:18] hot

[00:49:18] and the

[00:49:19] big win

[00:49:19] over

[00:49:19] Baltimore

[00:49:20] last week

[00:49:20] looked like

[00:49:20] they could

[00:49:21] maybe

[00:49:21] really

[00:49:21] pull away

[00:49:22] in the

[00:49:22] division

[00:49:22] the

[00:49:23] Browns

[00:49:23] setting up

[00:49:24] won't you

[00:49:25] chill out

[00:49:25] there

[00:49:32] Thursday

[00:49:32] night

[00:49:32] in the

[00:49:33] snow

[00:49:33] absolutely

[00:49:34] to our

[00:49:37] average

[00:49:37] fan

[00:49:37] it makes

[00:49:38] no sense

[00:49:38] if you

[00:49:39] weren't

[00:49:39] watching

[00:49:40] AFC

[00:49:41] North

[00:49:41] at all

[00:49:41] it makes

[00:49:42] perfect

[00:49:42] sense

[00:49:43] yeah

[00:49:44] it's

[00:49:44] most

[00:49:44] Cleveland

[00:49:44] Brown

[00:49:45] thing

[00:49:45] of all

[00:49:45] time

[00:49:46] and

[00:49:47] Jameis

[00:49:47] Winston

[00:49:48] continues

[00:49:48] to be

[00:49:48] a national

[00:49:49] treasure

[00:49:49] if you

[00:49:50] heard

[00:49:50] his

[00:49:50] interviews

[00:49:51] after

[00:49:51] the

[00:49:52] game

[00:49:52] phenomenal

[00:49:53] absolutely

[00:49:56] Titans

[00:49:56] upset

[00:49:57] the Texans

[00:49:57] today

[00:49:58] yeah

[00:49:59] so

[00:49:59] another

[00:50:00] team

[00:50:00] the Texans

[00:50:01] another

[00:50:01] team

[00:50:01] that look

[00:50:02] like

[00:50:02] they're

[00:50:02] starting

[00:50:04] to struggle

[00:50:05] now

[00:50:05] they

[00:50:05] look like

[00:50:06] they could

[00:50:06] have

[00:50:07] nothing

[00:50:08] of their

[00:50:08] own

[00:50:09] but

[00:50:09] because

[00:50:10] everyone

[00:50:10] else

[00:50:11] in

[00:50:11] division

[00:50:11] sucks

[00:50:12] they

[00:50:12] could

[00:50:12] pull

[00:50:13] away

[00:50:13] there

[00:50:14] they

[00:50:15] did

[00:50:16] get

[00:50:16] lucky

[00:50:16] today

[00:50:16] that

[00:50:17] their

[00:50:18] closest

[00:50:18] competitor

[00:50:19] the Colts

[00:50:19] had to

[00:50:20] play

[00:50:20] Detroit

[00:50:21] that's

[00:50:22] not good

[00:50:22] news

[00:50:32] yeah

[00:50:33] that was

[00:50:33] crazy

[00:50:33] one

[00:50:34] just

[00:50:34] to

[00:50:34] keep

[00:50:35] right

[00:50:35] on

[00:50:35] Detroit

[00:50:35] heels

[00:50:37] the

[00:50:38] Dolphins

[00:50:38] are

[00:50:39] getting

[00:50:39] hot

[00:50:39] three

[00:50:51] in

[00:51:01] you

[00:51:02] you

[00:51:02] can

[00:51:03] only

[00:51:03] play

[00:51:04] who's

[00:51:04] on

[00:51:05] the

[00:51:06] other

[00:51:06] sideline

[00:51:06] right

[00:51:07] and

[00:51:07] at

[00:51:08] the

[00:51:08] end

[00:51:08] of

[00:51:08] the

[00:51:08] day

[00:51:08] these

[00:51:09] are

[00:51:09] all

[00:51:09] professional

[00:51:09] teams

[00:51:10] it's

[00:51:10] not

[00:51:10] like

[00:51:11] you're

[00:51:11] miles

[00:51:11] ahead

[00:51:12] because

[00:51:12] you

[00:51:13] recruit

[00:51:13] better

[00:51:13] or whatever

[00:51:14] anything

[00:51:15] like that

[00:51:30] it'd be

[00:51:31] and Bryce

[00:51:32] could pull

[00:51:32] that one

[00:51:32] off

[00:51:33] but

[00:51:33] he

[00:51:34] did

[00:51:34] the

[00:51:34] drive

[00:51:35] to

[00:51:35] give

[00:51:35] him

[00:51:35] the

[00:51:35] yeah

[00:51:36] what

[00:51:36] they

[00:51:36] tied

[00:51:36] it

[00:51:36] up

[00:51:37] but

[00:51:37] you

[00:51:37] know

[00:51:37] there

[00:51:38] was

[00:52:01] guy

[00:52:01] that was

[00:52:02] good

[00:52:04] good

[00:52:05] good

[00:52:18] let's

[00:52:19] get some

[00:52:19] talent

[00:52:19] around

[00:52:20] that

[00:52:20] guy

[00:52:20] and

[00:52:20] see

[00:52:20] what

[00:52:21] we

[00:52:21] can

[00:52:21] really

[00:52:21] do

[00:52:21] yeah

[00:52:22] of course

[00:52:24] your

[00:52:24] Cowboys

[00:52:24] win

[00:52:25] that

[00:52:25] gives

[00:52:25] now

[00:52:26] Philly

[00:52:26] playing

[00:52:26] right

[00:52:27] now

[00:52:27] on

[00:52:27] Sunday

[00:52:27] Night

[00:52:27] Football

[00:52:28] two

[00:52:31] just

[00:52:31] running

[00:52:32] away

[00:52:32] yeah

[00:52:33] they

[00:52:33] have

[00:52:33] a chance

[00:52:33] to really

[00:52:34] put some

[00:52:34] distance

[00:52:35] between

[00:52:35] them

[00:52:35] and

[00:52:35] Washington

[00:52:36] for the

[00:52:36] NFC

[00:52:37] title

[00:52:37] and the

[00:52:39] crazy

[00:52:39] thing

[00:52:39] is

[00:52:39] there

[00:52:40] has

[00:52:40] not

[00:52:41] been

[00:52:41] a

[00:52:41] repeat

[00:52:43] NFC

[00:52:44] championship

[00:52:44] like

[00:52:45] 0405

[00:52:46] equals

[00:52:46] crazy

[00:52:47] yeah

[00:52:50] let's

[00:52:50] see what

[00:52:50] else

[00:52:51] happened

[00:52:51] today

[00:52:51] interesting

[00:52:53] Tampa

[00:52:54] Bay

[00:52:54] easy

[00:52:55] win

[00:52:55] over

[00:52:55] New

[00:52:55] York

[00:52:56] they

[00:52:57] still

[00:52:58] keeping

[00:52:59] their

[00:52:59] playoff

[00:52:59] hopes

[00:52:59] alive

[00:53:01] Denver

[00:53:02] fairly

[00:53:03] easy

[00:53:03] win

[00:53:03] over

[00:53:04] the

[00:53:04] Raiders

[00:53:05] as they

[00:53:05] keep

[00:53:06] theirs

[00:53:06] kind

[00:53:06] of

[00:53:07] surprising

[00:53:07] at how

[00:53:08] big

[00:53:08] it was

[00:53:08] not the

[00:53:09] end result

[00:53:09] but

[00:53:10] Green Bay

[00:53:11] just

[00:53:11] beating

[00:53:12] the hell

[00:53:13] out of

[00:53:13] San

[00:53:13] Francisco

[00:53:14] yes

[00:53:15] San

[00:53:16] Francisco

[00:53:16] though

[00:53:17] still

[00:53:17] very much

[00:53:18] alive

[00:53:18] in the

[00:53:18] west

[00:53:19] that west

[00:53:19] is a

[00:53:19] wild

[00:53:20] yeah

[00:53:20] that wacky

[00:53:21] west

[00:53:21] Seattle

[00:53:22] beat

[00:53:22] Arizona

[00:53:23] today

[00:53:23] so now

[00:53:23] they are

[00:53:24] both tied

[00:53:24] at the

[00:53:25] top

[00:53:25] six

[00:53:26] and

[00:53:26] five

[00:53:26] yeah

[00:53:28] the

[00:53:29] well

[00:53:29] yeah

[00:53:30] six

[00:53:32] how long

[00:53:33] is

[00:53:33] what's

[00:53:33] their mouth

[00:53:34] for

[00:53:35] because

[00:53:36] they're

[00:53:36] going

[00:53:36] today

[00:53:38] oh

[00:53:38] yeah

[00:53:39] I think

[00:53:39] I don't

[00:53:40] know

[00:53:40] because

[00:53:40] it

[00:53:41] looked

[00:53:41] I think

[00:53:42] all week

[00:53:42] it was

[00:53:43] kind of

[00:53:43] hit or

[00:53:43] miss

[00:53:44] on whether

[00:53:44] Brock

[00:53:45] Purdy

[00:53:45] would

[00:53:46] play

[00:53:46] so

[00:53:46] I'm

[00:53:47] assuming

[00:53:47] that

[00:53:49] maybe

[00:53:49] yeah

[00:53:50] maybe next

[00:53:51] week

[00:53:51] can be

[00:53:51] healthy

[00:53:52] yeah

[00:53:53] because

[00:53:53] they're

[00:53:54] not

[00:53:54] doing

[00:53:55] anything

[00:53:55] with

[00:53:55] Brandon

[00:53:55] Allen

[00:53:56] I'm

[00:53:56] sorry

[00:53:57] they're

[00:53:57] just

[00:53:57] not

[00:53:57] they get

[00:53:59] okay

[00:53:59] I guess

[00:54:00] but man

[00:54:00] they just

[00:54:01] got throttled

[00:54:01] but

[00:54:02] you know

[00:54:03] that's

[00:54:03] a game

[00:54:04] that

[00:54:05] Green

[00:54:05] Bay

[00:54:05] needed

[00:54:05] I mean

[00:54:07] even

[00:54:08] if

[00:54:08] Purdy

[00:54:08] have

[00:54:09] played

[00:54:09] you know

[00:54:10] Green

[00:54:10] Bay

[00:54:11] they

[00:54:11] I mean

[00:54:12] just to

[00:54:13] show

[00:54:13] that

[00:54:13] they're

[00:54:13] a team

[00:54:14] but

[00:54:14] they've

[00:54:14] had

[00:54:14] so much

[00:54:15] frustration

[00:54:16] with the

[00:54:16] 49ers

[00:54:17] in the

[00:54:18] playoffs

[00:54:19] etc

[00:54:19] the last

[00:54:20] couple

[00:54:20] years

[00:54:20] so they

[00:54:21] needed

[00:54:21] that

[00:54:22] win

[00:54:22] just

[00:54:22] to

[00:54:23] stay

[00:54:24] because

[00:54:24] that

[00:54:25] you know

[00:54:26] that

[00:54:27] North

[00:54:27] I mean

[00:54:28] they're

[00:54:28] right

[00:54:28] they're

[00:54:28] there

[00:54:29] but

[00:54:29] I mean

[00:54:29] it's

[00:54:29] kind

[00:54:30] of

[00:54:30] Detroit

[00:54:31] so

[00:54:32] yeah

[00:54:34] they need

[00:54:35] to stay

[00:54:36] in that

[00:54:36] playoff

[00:54:36] hunt

[00:54:37] exactly

[00:54:39] and

[00:54:40] then

[00:54:43] I guess

[00:54:43] that's

[00:54:43] it

[00:54:44] from

[00:54:44] today

[00:54:44] we

[00:54:44] mentioned

[00:54:44] the

[00:54:45] Seahawks

[00:54:45] beat

[00:54:45] the

[00:54:46] Cardinals

[00:54:46] so now

[00:54:46] that's

[00:54:47] Seahawks

[00:54:47] and Cardinals

[00:54:48] both 6

[00:54:48] and 5

[00:54:49] the

[00:54:49] Niners

[00:54:49] 5

[00:54:49] and 6

[00:54:50] and

[00:54:50] it

[00:54:50] looks

[00:54:51] like

[00:54:51] the Rams

[00:54:52] will fall

[00:54:52] to 5

[00:54:53] and 6

[00:54:53] as well

[00:54:53] but that's

[00:54:55] a lot

[00:54:56] of

[00:54:56] cluster

[00:54:57] in that

[00:54:57] NFC

[00:54:58] West

[00:54:58] of course

[00:54:59] tomorrow

[00:55:00] night

[00:55:00] the

[00:55:00] Harbowl

[00:55:01] the Ravens

[00:55:02] visit

[00:55:02] the

[00:55:02] Chargers

[00:55:06] still big

[00:55:06] Ravens need

[00:55:07] a bounce

[00:55:07] back win

[00:55:08] there

[00:55:10] after that

[00:55:10] Pittsburgh game

[00:55:11] last week

[00:55:13] which they do

[00:55:14] pretty well

[00:55:15] under Jim Harbowl

[00:55:16] we'll say

[00:55:16] they bounce

[00:55:17] back pretty well

[00:55:17] Lamar bounces

[00:55:18] back pretty well

[00:55:19] so

[00:55:20] it's just

[00:55:21] that weird

[00:55:22] Pittsburgh

[00:55:22] mental block

[00:55:23] they have

[00:55:23] but looking

[00:55:24] ahead to

[00:55:24] next week

[00:55:25] Thanksgiving

[00:55:26] you got

[00:55:27] the Bears

[00:55:27] visit the

[00:55:28] Lions

[00:55:28] you mentioned

[00:55:29] the Giants

[00:55:30] visit your

[00:55:30] Cowboys

[00:55:32] the night

[00:55:33] game

[00:55:33] kind of

[00:55:34] decent

[00:55:34] actually

[00:55:34] Miami

[00:55:35] at Green

[00:55:35] Bay

[00:55:35] and see

[00:55:36] if

[00:55:36] the Dolphins

[00:55:38] can keep

[00:55:38] rolling

[00:55:39] and see

[00:55:39] how

[00:55:40] the

[00:55:40] build

[00:55:40] builds

[00:55:41] off that

[00:55:41] win

[00:55:41] today

[00:55:42] yeah

[00:55:45] we mentioned

[00:55:45] a Friday

[00:55:46] game

[00:55:46] Vegas

[00:55:47] at KC

[00:55:48] who cares

[00:55:49] there's

[00:55:50] college

[00:55:50] football

[00:55:50] watch that

[00:55:51] and then

[00:55:52] next week

[00:55:53] some

[00:55:53] kind of

[00:55:54] interesting

[00:55:54] games

[00:55:54] next week

[00:55:55] Chargers

[00:55:55] at Falcons

[00:55:56] Pittsburgh

[00:55:57] at the

[00:55:58] Bengals

[00:55:58] in a big

[00:55:59] AFC

[00:56:00] North

[00:56:00] game

[00:56:01] the Cardinals

[00:56:01] visit

[00:56:02] the Vikings

[00:56:05] let's see

[00:56:07] Philly

[00:56:08] and Baltimore

[00:56:08] that's a big

[00:56:09] one

[00:56:09] that's a huge

[00:56:10] one

[00:56:10] yeah

[00:56:10] that's a big

[00:56:11] one next

[00:56:11] week

[00:56:12] those 49ers

[00:56:13] would have

[00:56:14] been a good

[00:56:14] game

[00:56:15] they may still

[00:56:16] be a good

[00:56:16] game

[00:56:16] but

[00:56:16] if Brock's

[00:56:19] back

[00:56:20] you know

[00:56:20] Christian

[00:56:20] McCaffrey

[00:56:21] is kind

[00:56:21] of getting

[00:56:22] back into

[00:56:22] the flow

[00:56:23] of things

[00:56:23] Buffalo

[00:56:24] of course

[00:56:24] is looking

[00:56:25] like the

[00:56:25] best team

[00:56:26] in the AFC

[00:56:26] at least

[00:56:28] tell you

[00:56:29] what that

[00:56:29] Monday night

[00:56:29] game

[00:56:30] Cleveland

[00:56:31] at Denver

[00:56:35] that is

[00:56:36] gonna be

[00:56:37] a

[00:56:39] low

[00:56:39] scoring

[00:56:40] yeah

[00:56:42] physical

[00:56:43] cool

[00:56:46] slob

[00:56:46] that's

[00:56:47] that's

[00:56:48] all you

[00:56:48] think

[00:56:48] about

[00:56:49] when you

[00:56:49] see

[00:56:49] that

[00:56:49] game

[00:56:50] but you

[00:56:50] know

[00:56:51] for

[00:56:52] you know

[00:56:52] Bo

[00:56:53] Nix

[00:56:53] he's

[00:56:54] quietly

[00:56:57] getting

[00:56:57] things

[00:56:58] together

[00:56:58] and

[00:56:59] I mean

[00:56:59] Jaden

[00:57:00] Daniel

[00:57:00] started

[00:57:01] off

[00:57:01] the season

[00:57:01] high

[00:57:02] and

[00:57:02] seemed

[00:57:02] to be

[00:57:03] running

[00:57:03] away

[00:57:03] with

[00:57:03] our

[00:57:03] rookie

[00:57:04] of the

[00:57:04] year

[00:57:05] I don't

[00:57:06] know

[00:57:06] the

[00:57:08] commander

[00:57:09] is

[00:57:09] starting

[00:57:09] to fall

[00:57:10] off

[00:57:10] the

[00:57:11] Broncos

[00:57:11] keep

[00:57:11] winning

[00:57:11] games

[00:57:12] and

[00:57:12] he

[00:57:12] might

[00:57:13] very

[00:57:13] well

[00:57:13] be

[00:57:13] very

[00:57:14] much

[00:57:14] alive

[00:57:14] for

[00:57:15] that

[00:57:15] rookie

[00:57:15] of the

[00:57:15] year

[00:57:16] yeah

[00:57:17] he

[00:57:17] at least

[00:57:18] can get

[00:57:18] some

[00:57:19] votes

[00:57:19] there

[00:57:19] but

[00:57:20] yeah

[00:57:20] he's

[00:57:21] putting

[00:57:21] up

[00:57:22] he's

[00:57:22] doing

[00:57:23] the

[00:57:35] you

[00:57:36] holding

[00:57:36] on

[00:57:37] to

[00:57:37] that

[00:57:37] playoff

[00:57:37] spot

[00:57:39] like

[00:57:39] I said

[00:57:40] right

[00:57:40] now

[00:57:40] they're

[00:57:40] above

[00:57:41] the

[00:57:41] Dolphins

[00:57:42] of course

[00:57:43] they need

[00:57:43] to keep

[00:57:44] winning

[00:57:44] and

[00:57:44] you know

[00:57:45] like I said

[00:57:45] the Dolphins

[00:57:45] are hot

[00:57:46] but

[00:57:48] as you

[00:57:48] look at

[00:57:48] things

[00:57:49] now

[00:57:49] still

[00:57:49] in the

[00:57:50] AFC

[00:57:50] KFC

[00:57:50] would

[00:57:51] still

[00:57:51] be

[00:57:51] the

[00:57:51] one

[00:57:51] seed

[00:57:52] Bills

[00:57:52] would

[00:57:53] be

[00:57:53] two

[00:57:53] seeds

[00:57:53] Steelers

[00:57:54] would

[00:57:54] be

[00:57:54] three

[00:57:54] seed

[00:57:54] Houston

[00:57:55] holding

[00:57:55] on

[00:57:55] to

[00:57:56] that

[00:57:57] four

[00:57:57] seed

[00:57:59] right

[00:57:59] now

[00:57:59] the

[00:57:59] Chargers

[00:58:00] are

[00:58:00] the

[00:58:01] five

[00:58:01] and

[00:58:01] Baltimore

[00:58:01] is

[00:58:01] six

[00:58:02] and

[00:58:06] then

[00:58:07] Miami

[00:58:08] is

[00:58:08] right

[00:58:09] behind

[00:58:09] them

[00:58:09] and

[00:58:09] after

[00:58:09] that

[00:58:10] it's

[00:58:10] kind

[00:58:10] of

[00:58:11] Indy

[00:58:12] is

[00:58:12] there

[00:58:12] but

[00:58:12] do

[00:58:13] anyone

[00:58:13] really

[00:58:13] believe

[00:58:14] they

[00:58:14] can

[00:58:14] put

[00:58:14] up

[00:58:14] a

[00:58:14] fight

[00:58:16] Cincinnati

[00:58:16] is

[00:58:17] four

[00:58:17] and

[00:58:17] seven

[00:58:18] so

[00:58:18] they

[00:58:18] got

[00:58:18] to

[00:58:18] get

[00:58:18] rolling

[00:58:19] and

[00:58:19] you

[00:58:19] just

[00:58:19] when

[00:58:20] is

[00:58:32] after

[00:58:32] that

[00:58:32] it

[00:58:32] just

[00:58:33] falls

[00:58:33] off

[00:58:36] NFC

[00:58:36] you

[00:58:37] got

[00:58:37] Detroit

[00:58:37] and

[00:58:38] first

[00:58:38] Philly

[00:58:39] the

[00:58:39] two

[00:58:39] seed

[00:58:40] and

[00:58:40] then

[00:58:40] that's

[00:58:40] where

[00:58:41] it

[00:58:41] gets

[00:58:41] really

[00:58:41] interesting

[00:58:41] after

[00:58:42] that

[00:58:42] is

[00:58:42] Seattle

[00:58:43] the

[00:58:44] three

[00:58:44] seed

[00:58:45] Atlanta

[00:58:45] the

[00:58:45] four

[00:58:46] seed

[00:58:46] Minnesota

[00:58:46] the

[00:58:47] five

[00:58:47] seed

[00:58:48] Green

[00:58:48] Bay

[00:58:48] the

[00:58:48] sixth

[00:58:49] seed

[00:58:49] Washington

[00:58:50] clinging

[00:58:51] to that

[00:58:51] seventh

[00:58:52] seed

[00:59:02] overall

[00:59:02] playoff

[00:59:03] if

[00:59:03] you

[00:59:03] start

[00:59:03] looking

[00:59:03] at

[00:59:04] some

[00:59:04] of

[00:59:05] these

[00:59:05] division

[00:59:05] races

[00:59:06] is

[00:59:06] where

[00:59:06] it

[00:59:06] really

[00:59:06] gets

[00:59:07] interesting

[00:59:07] because

[00:59:07] you

[00:59:07] got

[00:59:08] we

[00:59:08] mentioned

[00:59:09] NFC

[00:59:10] West

[00:59:10] well

[00:59:10] the

[00:59:10] South

[00:59:11] the

[00:59:11] Falcons

[00:59:11] only

[00:59:11] have

[00:59:12] that

[00:59:32] Green

[00:59:33] Bay

[00:59:33] is still

[00:59:33] right

[00:59:34] in

[00:59:34] there

[00:59:34] so

[00:59:34] things

[00:59:34] break

[00:59:35] for

[00:59:35] them

[00:59:35] in

[00:59:35] front

[00:59:36] of

[00:59:36] them

[00:59:36] the

[00:59:37] good

[00:59:37] thing

[00:59:37] for

[00:59:37] Detroit

[00:59:37] is

[00:59:38] they

[00:59:38] do

[00:59:38] have

[00:59:38] wins

[00:59:38] over

[00:59:39] both

[00:59:39] of

[00:59:39] right

[00:59:39] now

[00:59:40] so

[00:59:40] they

[00:59:41] have

[00:59:41] a little

[00:59:41] bit of

[00:59:42] cushion

[00:59:42] but

[00:59:44] you know

[00:59:44] I

[00:59:45] really

[00:59:46] want to

[00:59:46] see

[00:59:47] Detroit

[00:59:47] make

[00:59:48] it

[00:59:59] I

[01:00:00] they

[01:00:00] are

[01:00:01] such

[01:00:01] a

[01:00:01] fun

[01:00:01] team

[01:00:01] to

[01:00:02] watch

[01:00:02] too

[01:00:02] that's

[01:00:02] the

[01:00:02] other

[01:00:03] thing

[01:00:03] I

[01:00:03] mean

[01:00:04] so

[01:00:06] yeah

[01:00:06] I

[01:00:07] think

[01:00:07] it's

[01:00:08] their

[01:00:08] first

[01:00:08] 10

[01:00:08] and

[01:00:08] one

[01:00:09] start

[01:00:09] since

[01:00:09] 1930

[01:00:10] something

[01:00:11] so

[01:00:11] great

[01:00:13] yeah

[01:00:13] just

[01:00:14] great

[01:00:14] times

[01:00:14] for

[01:00:14] Detroit

[01:00:15] but

[01:00:15] let's

[01:00:16] go ahead

[01:00:16] move

[01:00:17] on

[01:00:17] some

[01:00:17] other

[01:00:18] stuff

[01:00:18] before

[01:00:18] we

[01:00:18] go

[01:00:19] college

[01:00:20] hoops

[01:00:20] basketball

[01:00:21] good

[01:00:21] win

[01:00:22] this

[01:00:22] week

[01:00:22] over

[01:00:23] Illinois

[01:00:23] great

[01:00:24] bounce

[01:00:24] back

[01:00:25] game

[01:00:25] after

[01:00:25] the

[01:00:25] Purdue

[01:00:26] lost

[01:00:28] only

[01:00:28] thing

[01:00:29] I

[01:00:29] I'd say

[01:00:30] there

[01:00:30] is

[01:00:30] you

[01:00:30] know

[01:00:30] a little

[01:00:31] worrisome

[01:00:32] with

[01:00:32] Mark

[01:00:32] shooting

[01:00:32] but

[01:00:33] hey

[01:00:34] he

[01:00:35] doesn't

[01:00:35] score

[01:00:35] a point

[01:00:36] and

[01:00:37] still

[01:00:37] score

[01:00:38] 100

[01:00:39] yeah

[01:00:39] exactly

[01:00:40] I

[01:00:41] think

[01:00:41] that's

[01:00:41] the

[01:00:42] bigger

[01:00:43] takeaway

[01:00:43] he

[01:00:43] just

[01:00:44] had

[01:00:44] an

[01:00:44] off

[01:00:44] night

[01:00:44] and

[01:00:45] it's

[01:00:45] concerning

[01:00:45] to see

[01:00:46] him

[01:00:46] not

[01:00:46] score

[01:00:46] any

[01:00:46] but

[01:00:47] when

[01:00:47] the

[01:00:47] rest

[01:00:48] of

[01:00:48] the

[01:00:48] team

[01:00:48] rises

[01:00:49] up

[01:00:49] and

[01:00:49] scores

[01:00:49] 100

[01:00:50] that's

[01:00:50] great

[01:00:50] but

[01:00:51] did

[01:00:51] you

[01:00:51] see

[01:00:51] after

[01:00:52] the

[01:00:52] game

[01:00:52] he

[01:00:52] threw

[01:00:52] up

[01:00:53] like

[01:00:53] 300

[01:00:53] or

[01:00:53] 400

[01:00:54] shots

[01:00:54] after

[01:00:55] the

[01:00:55] game

[01:00:55] I

[01:00:55] think

[01:00:55] it was

[01:00:56] like

[01:00:56] 600

[01:00:56] he

[01:01:37] games

[01:01:38] there

[01:01:39] that's

[01:01:40] weird

[01:01:40] play

[01:01:41] Creighton

[01:01:41] twice

[01:01:41] they

[01:01:45] in a

[01:01:46] non-conference

[01:01:49] you know

[01:01:50] that's

[01:01:50] some

[01:01:50] big

[01:01:51] opportunities

[01:01:56] there

[01:01:56] for

[01:01:56] the

[01:01:57] resume

[01:01:58] so yeah

[01:01:59] it's just

[01:01:59] a matter

[01:02:00] of

[01:02:01] but

[01:02:02] man

[01:02:03] we

[01:02:04] definitely

[01:02:04] have a

[01:02:05] talented

[01:02:05] team

[01:02:06] this year

[01:02:07] I will

[01:02:08] say that

[01:02:08] like

[01:02:08] you know

[01:02:09] you know

[01:02:10] you get

[01:02:11] a lot

[01:02:11] of hype

[01:02:11] coming

[01:02:11] into

[01:02:12] the

[01:02:12] season

[01:02:12] rightfully

[01:02:13] so

[01:02:13] but I

[01:02:14] mean

[01:02:16] there's

[01:02:17] a lot

[01:02:17] of

[01:02:17] there's

[01:02:18] a lot

[01:02:18] of

[01:02:18] scores

[01:02:18] and

[01:02:19] you know

[01:02:19] that's

[01:02:19] good

[01:02:20] to see

[01:02:20] because

[01:02:20] last

[01:02:21] year

[01:02:21] marks

[01:02:22] here

[01:02:22] his

[01:02:22] day

[01:02:22] off

[01:02:23] and

[01:02:23] we're

[01:02:23] in

[01:02:23] trouble

[01:02:24] yeah

[01:02:25] yeah

[01:02:26] well

[01:02:27] we've seen

[01:02:27] it a couple

[01:02:28] years

[01:02:28] in a row

[01:02:28] now

[01:02:28] you know

[01:02:29] when

[01:02:29] Brandon

[01:02:29] Miller

[01:02:29] was leading

[01:02:30] if he had

[01:02:31] an off

[01:02:31] night

[01:02:31] then

[01:02:32] you know

[01:02:32] we had

[01:02:32] a couple

[01:02:32] guys

[01:02:33] you know

[01:02:33] maybe

[01:02:33] they could

[01:02:34] step up

[01:02:34] but if

[01:02:34] they

[01:02:35] didn't

[01:02:35] you know

[01:02:37] but yeah

[01:02:38] Alabama

[01:02:39] stretch of

[01:02:39] five straight

[01:02:40] ranked

[01:02:45] of course

[01:02:45] a top

[01:02:46] 10 team

[01:02:46] Rutgers

[01:02:47] is ranked

[01:02:47] team

[01:02:48] and then

[01:02:49] December

[01:02:50] 4th

[01:02:50] they will

[01:02:51] play

[01:02:52] actually

[01:02:52] six straight

[01:02:53] ranked

[01:02:53] teams

[01:02:53] excuse me

[01:02:55] they'll play

[01:02:56] North Carolina

[01:02:57] then you

[01:02:57] mentioned

[01:02:58] they play

[01:02:58] Creighton

[01:02:59] too

[01:02:59] mid-December

[01:03:00] so

[01:03:01] big stretch

[01:03:02] great

[01:03:03] you know

[01:03:04] great

[01:03:05] for the

[01:03:06] roster

[01:03:06] to gel

[01:03:06] and play

[01:03:07] these tough

[01:03:07] games

[01:03:08] and

[01:03:08] before they

[01:03:09] get kind

[01:03:10] of a little

[01:03:10] break

[01:03:11] before SEC

[01:03:12] season

[01:03:12] absolutely

[01:03:14] absolutely

[01:03:15] you know

[01:03:16] I will

[01:03:17] say

[01:03:17] though

[01:03:20] you know

[01:03:21] Grant Nelson

[01:03:22] had a

[01:03:22] big game

[01:03:23] against

[01:03:24] Illinois

[01:03:25] but

[01:03:26] so far

[01:03:27] this season

[01:03:30] Fireland

[01:03:30] has been

[01:03:31] a dog

[01:03:31] Grant

[01:03:32] Fireland

[01:03:33] has been

[01:03:34] an absolute

[01:03:34] dog

[01:03:35] he might be

[01:03:36] a one year

[01:03:37] type of guy

[01:03:38] because

[01:03:40] this dude

[01:03:41] is a beast

[01:03:42] leading the

[01:03:43] team in

[01:03:43] assists

[01:03:44] right now

[01:03:44] yeah

[01:03:46] but this

[01:03:47] roster

[01:03:48] we said

[01:03:49] coming in

[01:03:50] probably

[01:03:51] most talented

[01:03:51] roster

[01:03:52] and

[01:03:53] young blood

[01:03:54] back

[01:03:55] probably

[01:03:55] sometime

[01:03:56] before

[01:03:56] a round

[01:03:57] conference

[01:03:57] starts

[01:03:58] so

[01:03:58] he's been

[01:03:59] out

[01:04:00] so man

[01:04:01] I'm

[01:04:01] excited

[01:04:03] how things

[01:04:04] got at

[01:04:04] football

[01:04:05] might be

[01:04:05] the most

[01:04:05] exciting

[01:04:06] thing

[01:04:06] we have

[01:04:06] going into

[01:04:07] yeah

[01:04:08] right

[01:04:08] basketball

[01:04:10] school

[01:04:13] but yeah

[01:04:14] elsewhere

[01:04:15] around the

[01:04:15] country

[01:04:15] Duke

[01:04:16] went to

[01:04:16] Arizona

[01:04:17] beat them

[01:04:20] yeah

[01:04:20] good win

[01:04:21] for them

[01:04:21] on the

[01:04:22] women's side

[01:04:22] South Carolina

[01:04:24] finally goes down

[01:04:25] yeah

[01:04:25] took a loss

[01:04:26] UCLA

[01:04:27] took a

[01:04:27] tune

[01:04:28] did they

[01:04:28] yeah

[01:04:29] ended their

[01:04:29] what like

[01:04:30] 43 game

[01:04:31] winning streak

[01:04:31] yeah

[01:04:35] so yeah

[01:04:35] just

[01:04:38] there was

[01:04:39] that

[01:04:39] interesting

[01:04:40] start

[01:04:42] yeah

[01:04:42] it was

[01:04:42] that weird

[01:04:43] thing

[01:04:43] with that

[01:04:43] ex-tempo

[01:04:44] player

[01:04:45] involved in

[01:04:46] a point

[01:04:47] shaving

[01:04:47] scandal

[01:04:47] yeah

[01:04:51] yeah

[01:04:52] but yeah

[01:04:52] interest

[01:04:52] on the

[01:04:53] court

[01:04:53] great

[01:04:54] start

[01:04:54] to the

[01:04:54] year

[01:04:57] yeah

[01:04:58] LSU

[01:04:58] had a

[01:04:59] big

[01:05:00] triple

[01:05:01] overtime

[01:05:01] game

[01:05:02] win today

[01:05:03] over

[01:05:03] UCF

[01:05:07] just

[01:05:07] yeah

[01:05:09] some

[01:05:09] exciting

[01:05:10] times

[01:05:10] a lot

[01:05:11] of

[01:05:11] exciting

[01:05:11] freshmen

[01:05:12] around

[01:05:12] and

[01:05:13] we get

[01:05:13] into this

[01:05:14] kind of

[01:05:14] holiday

[01:05:14] tournament

[01:05:15] season

[01:05:16] yeah

[01:05:16] we'll see

[01:05:17] some fun

[01:05:18] out of

[01:05:18] what used

[01:05:18] to be

[01:05:19] the kind

[01:05:19] of the

[01:05:19] college

[01:05:20] start

[01:05:24] was around

[01:05:25] Thanksgiving

[01:05:25] but now

[01:05:26] we're

[01:05:26] you know

[01:05:27] a couple

[01:05:27] weeks

[01:05:28] in

[01:05:28] but

[01:05:28] yeah

[01:05:29] it's been

[01:05:29] interesting

[01:05:30] and

[01:05:30] I think

[01:05:31] you know

[01:05:33] I would

[01:05:34] like the

[01:05:34] feast week

[01:05:35] I always

[01:05:35] think it's

[01:05:36] a good

[01:05:36] time

[01:05:36] yeah

[01:05:37] between

[01:05:37] football

[01:05:38] and

[01:05:39] eating

[01:05:40] some

[01:05:40] good

[01:05:40] food

[01:05:41] you got

[01:05:41] college

[01:05:43] basketball

[01:05:43] I mean

[01:05:45] what

[01:05:46] could be

[01:05:46] better

[01:05:46] right

[01:05:49] exactly

[01:05:51] and

[01:05:51] let's

[01:05:51] see

[01:05:52] in the

[01:05:52] pro

[01:05:52] game

[01:05:52] the

[01:05:54] Cavaliers

[01:05:54] finally

[01:05:54] lost

[01:05:55] barely

[01:05:56] but they

[01:05:57] did

[01:05:57] lose

[01:05:57] yeah

[01:05:58] Boston

[01:05:58] got

[01:05:59] them

[01:06:01] and

[01:06:01] then

[01:06:01] other

[01:06:02] than

[01:06:02] that

[01:06:02] I

[01:06:03] don't

[01:06:03] give

[01:06:03] a

[01:06:04] shit

[01:06:04] I

[01:06:04] don't

[01:06:04] want to

[01:06:04] talk

[01:06:04] about

[01:06:04] the

[01:06:04] NBA

[01:06:05] right

[01:06:19] that

[01:06:20] man

[01:06:20] cannot

[01:06:21] I

[01:06:21] don't

[01:06:21] know

[01:06:21] what's

[01:06:22] going

[01:06:22] like

[01:06:22] that

[01:06:23] man

[01:06:23] has

[01:06:23] the

[01:06:23] worst

[01:06:24] luck

[01:06:24] ever

[01:06:25] yeah

[01:06:28] you know

[01:06:28] the team's

[01:06:29] playing

[01:06:31] they're

[01:06:31] playing hard

[01:06:32] in their time

[01:06:33] but there's just so many

[01:06:34] injuries to that team

[01:06:35] they've lost nine of their last ten games now

[01:06:37] yeah

[01:06:38] it's just

[01:06:39] it's going to be a long season

[01:06:41] unfortunately I think

[01:06:42] yeah

[01:06:43] you know

[01:06:43] it's just

[01:06:44] it's kind of starting to open tonight

[01:06:45] with Dejounte Murray already getting hurt

[01:06:47] so

[01:06:48] yeah

[01:06:48] who knows

[01:06:49] it'll take a big turn

[01:06:50] yeah

[01:06:52] no

[01:06:53] I saw

[01:06:53] you know

[01:06:54] my Mavs

[01:06:55] you know

[01:06:55] they

[01:06:55] they win a game

[01:06:57] lose a game

[01:06:58] win a game

[01:06:58] lose a game

[01:06:59] like we have no consistency

[01:07:00] for real

[01:07:01] they beat

[01:07:02] Denver on Friday night

[01:07:04] but hell

[01:07:04] we were up 20

[01:07:05] and then almost

[01:07:06] gave them the game

[01:07:07] and lose to the

[01:07:09] lose to the

[01:07:11] heat today

[01:07:12] in overtime

[01:07:12] like we have no consistency

[01:07:14] like I'm not

[01:07:15] I don't

[01:07:16] no court

[01:07:17] Luke is out for a month

[01:07:18] so

[01:07:19] I'm sure that has something to do with it

[01:07:21] but

[01:07:23] I don't know

[01:07:23] yeah

[01:07:23] it's

[01:07:24] it's just one of those things

[01:07:25] uh

[01:07:27] the NBA season

[01:07:28] really doesn't start

[01:07:29] until after the new year

[01:07:30] exactly

[01:07:31] I mean

[01:07:31] it

[01:07:32] and once again

[01:07:33] I mean

[01:07:34] we're at this

[01:07:34] you know

[01:07:35] that

[01:07:37] I still don't understand

[01:07:39] what the high

[01:07:39] what the

[01:07:40] what the big thing

[01:07:41] with this cup is

[01:07:42] like I

[01:07:43] I don't

[01:07:44] know what

[01:07:44] the motivation would be

[01:07:45] to play any differently

[01:07:47] or

[01:07:47] I don't know

[01:07:48] it's a forced

[01:07:48] yeah

[01:07:49] it's just

[01:07:49] yeah

[01:07:51] it's weird

[01:07:51] something like this

[01:07:52] the reason

[01:07:53] I

[01:07:54] I don't understand

[01:07:55] the allure of it

[01:07:56] if you're Nate

[01:07:57] or

[01:07:58] Adam Silver

[01:07:59] and you know

[01:08:00] you watch European soccer

[01:08:01] and you say

[01:08:02] oh well it's good

[01:08:03] again

[01:08:04] and I think

[01:08:04] I talked about it

[01:08:05] you know

[01:08:06] when we talked about

[01:08:07] the initial

[01:08:07] announcement of this

[01:08:08] or last season

[01:08:10] uh

[01:08:11] the allure of

[01:08:12] you know

[01:08:13] say the FA cup

[01:08:14] in English soccer

[01:08:15] is that every

[01:08:16] literally

[01:08:16] every professional

[01:08:17] club team

[01:08:18] in the country

[01:08:19] is available

[01:08:19] so you have

[01:08:20] like 900 teams

[01:08:21] eligible

[01:08:22] so you got guys

[01:08:24] and that play

[01:08:25] you know

[01:08:26] that go to work

[01:08:27] during the week

[01:08:28] and play on Sundays

[01:08:30] with a chance

[01:08:31] to make a run

[01:08:32] and play against

[01:08:33] Manchester United

[01:08:34] or something like that

[01:08:35] exactly

[01:08:35] if it's

[01:08:37] you're a closed league

[01:08:38] like the NBA

[01:08:38] then it's just

[01:08:39] you're still just

[01:08:40] playing each other

[01:08:41] and it's weird

[01:08:41] with the way

[01:08:42] that they count

[01:08:42] towards the standings

[01:08:44] and

[01:08:44] yeah

[01:08:45] it's

[01:08:46] yeah

[01:08:46] it's just

[01:08:47] I don't understand

[01:08:50] obviously

[01:08:51] it's no extra

[01:08:52] motivation

[01:08:52] I don't think

[01:08:53] anybody cares

[01:08:53] about the end season

[01:08:54] trophy

[01:08:55] and

[01:08:55] no

[01:08:56] if it were a thing

[01:08:57] where like

[01:08:58] if the G League

[01:08:59] teams weren't

[01:09:00] affiliated

[01:09:00] with the pro teams

[01:09:02] and you had

[01:09:02] these like

[01:09:04] smaller leagues

[01:09:05] come to play

[01:09:06] too

[01:09:06] for a chance

[01:09:07] to upset

[01:09:08] the big boys

[01:09:08] then you

[01:09:09] might understand

[01:09:10] it

[01:09:10] right

[01:09:11] or if

[01:09:12] there was

[01:09:12] some crazy

[01:09:13] prize

[01:09:14] you know

[01:09:14] that would

[01:09:15] motivate

[01:09:15] the players

[01:09:16] but

[01:09:16] it has to be

[01:09:17] a super

[01:09:18] crazy prize

[01:09:19] in today's

[01:09:19] world

[01:09:19] because honestly

[01:09:20] exactly

[01:09:21] even a couple

[01:09:22] hundred thousand

[01:09:22] dollars

[01:09:22] most of these

[01:09:23] guys

[01:09:24] is not

[01:09:24] blinking at it

[01:09:25] no

[01:09:26] yeah

[01:09:27] crazy as it

[01:09:28] sounds

[01:09:29] but I mean

[01:09:29] that's just

[01:09:30] how much

[01:09:30] money there

[01:09:31] is

[01:09:31] in the

[01:09:31] NBA

[01:09:33] yeah

[01:09:33] you know

[01:09:34] so as it

[01:09:35] is it's

[01:09:35] basically

[01:09:36] just like

[01:09:36] hey look

[01:09:36] we painted

[01:09:38] the court

[01:09:38] different

[01:09:39] it's cool

[01:09:39] isn't it

[01:09:40] yeah

[01:09:42] but yeah

[01:09:44] you know

[01:09:45] that's all

[01:09:45] I have in my

[01:09:45] notes

[01:09:46] is there

[01:09:46] anything else

[01:09:47] in the

[01:09:47] sports world

[01:09:47] you want

[01:09:48] to touch

[01:09:48] on this

[01:09:48] week

[01:09:49] I think

[01:09:50] you know

[01:09:51] we're

[01:09:52] pretty much

[01:09:53] covered

[01:09:53] everything

[01:09:53] you know

[01:09:54] it's gonna

[01:09:55] be a

[01:09:56] awesome

[01:09:56] you know

[01:09:57] awesome

[01:09:58] end of the

[01:09:58] regular season

[01:09:59] for college

[01:09:59] football

[01:09:59] and

[01:10:01] it's gonna

[01:10:01] be interesting

[01:10:02] to see where

[01:10:02] they rank

[01:10:03] folks this

[01:10:03] week

[01:10:04] and then

[01:10:04] we'll have

[01:10:05] you know

[01:10:05] the

[01:10:07] rivalry

[01:10:08] week

[01:10:08] last week

[01:10:09] of the

[01:10:09] regular season

[01:10:10] the championship

[01:10:11] Saturday

[01:10:11] and you know

[01:10:12] it'll be

[01:10:12] interesting

[01:10:13] to see how

[01:10:13] everything

[01:10:13] shakes out

[01:10:14] in that

[01:10:14] final

[01:10:15] final 12

[01:10:17] you know

[01:10:18] I don't think

[01:10:18] we have

[01:10:23] we can

[01:10:24] just kind

[01:10:24] of sit

[01:10:24] back

[01:10:25] and just

[01:10:25] watch the

[01:10:26] things unfold

[01:10:27] because I

[01:10:27] don't think

[01:10:27] we have

[01:10:28] anything to

[01:10:28] do with

[01:10:29] the play

[01:10:29] off

[01:10:29] and off

[01:10:30] no

[01:10:30] no

[01:10:32] craziness

[01:10:33] like last

[01:10:33] year

[01:10:34] when we

[01:10:36] were sitting

[01:10:38] with our

[01:10:39] holding our

[01:10:39] breath

[01:10:40] hoping

[01:10:40] but

[01:10:41] we get

[01:10:42] lots of

[01:10:42] craziness

[01:10:43] unfold

[01:10:43] there

[01:10:43] and

[01:10:46] no

[01:10:47] yeah

[01:10:47] yeah

[01:10:48] like you

[01:10:48] said

[01:10:49] it's about

[01:10:49] watching that

[01:10:50] stretch run

[01:10:51] in college

[01:10:51] football

[01:10:52] rivalry

[01:10:52] week

[01:10:52] always

[01:10:53] one of

[01:10:53] the best

[01:10:53] week

[01:10:53] in sports

[01:10:55] absolutely

[01:10:57] and you're

[01:10:57] not to think

[01:10:58] as crazy

[01:10:58] this season

[01:10:59] has been

[01:11:00] I mean

[01:11:00] we're in

[01:11:00] for some

[01:11:01] interesting

[01:11:01] things

[01:11:02] this coming

[01:11:03] yeah

[01:11:04] and who

[01:11:04] knows

[01:11:04] you know

[01:11:05] we get

[01:11:05] you know

[01:11:06] Texas and

[01:11:07] Texas A&M

[01:11:08] are back

[01:11:08] for the first

[01:11:09] time in over

[01:11:09] a decade

[01:11:10] and it's

[01:11:11] Texas A&M

[01:11:12] not only that

[01:11:12] but it's

[01:11:13] Texas A&M

[01:11:14] and Texas

[01:11:14] for our

[01:11:15] spot in the

[01:11:15] SEC

[01:11:16] championship

[01:11:16] game

[01:11:16] it doesn't

[01:11:17] get better

[01:11:18] than that

[01:11:18] folks

[01:11:19] yeah

[01:11:19] you know

[01:11:20] A&M

[01:11:20] got lucky

[01:11:21] with all

[01:11:21] the other

[01:11:22] upsets

[01:11:23] you know

[01:11:23] going down

[01:11:24] because they

[01:11:25] really

[01:11:25] even losing

[01:11:26] to Auburn

[01:11:26] they're still

[01:11:27] they only

[01:11:27] had one

[01:11:28] conference

[01:11:28] loss

[01:11:29] there

[01:11:29] so I mean

[01:11:30] they're still

[01:11:30] very much

[01:11:31] alive

[01:11:32] which I
