00:00:30Welcome to the Barstool College Football Show,
00:00:58for the 2025 season.
00:01:00Brandon, do you seem to have some thoughts on the new intro?
00:01:02Why did Dave get to be the hero of the intro?
00:01:06He won a national championship two years ago.
00:01:08Big F won one last year.
00:01:09Yeah.
00:01:10Well, I mean, sure he did.
00:01:13Well, he did.
00:01:14He did.
00:01:16The biggest paper tiger national championship of all time.
00:01:22I mean, I doubt he's going to have to wait on pins and needles
00:01:24to see if he gets to keep his national title
00:01:25because the NCAA might come down and take it.
00:01:27Uh, we never thought that way,
00:01:31and that's actually one of my takes we'll get into later in the show,
00:01:35all the people who are waiting for this hammer that never dropped.
00:01:39Their national championship's an insult national championship.
00:01:42Like, when you see it, bad memories flow into your brain.
00:01:46When I see it, good memories flow into my brain.
00:01:50Brandon, listen, every season you're going to get upset.
00:01:53It's not my fight to fight.
00:01:54It's not my fight to fight.
00:01:55Big F, I see that crowd on your head.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:57Yeah.
00:01:58Listen, it's good to be back.
00:02:00Favorite time of year, college football season,
00:02:02sitting on the throne, Ohio State national champions,
00:02:05the rulers of the college football kingdom.
00:02:07It's great to be here.
00:02:08We're the Kings.
00:02:08Except for Stampede, Michigan.
00:02:09And if you go back and look at that everything that was said,
00:02:13Ohio, this isn't my words.
00:02:15You can roll the tape.
00:02:17You can roll Big F.
00:02:18You can roll Tate.
00:02:20Doesn't matter.
00:02:21Doesn't matter what we do.
00:02:23Lost to Michigan.
00:02:24We can win the national title.
00:02:25I mean, roll the tape where I said it doesn't matter what we do.
00:02:28Roll the tape.
00:02:29Find that tape.
00:02:29They said it.
00:02:30Find it.
00:02:30Find it, Dave.
00:02:31I didn't say it.
00:02:31They said it.
00:02:32Where I said it doesn't matter if we win the national title.
00:02:34Find that tape.
00:02:35I dare you.
00:02:36Find the whole post-rundown after we beat you.
00:02:41Yeah, I never said a national title.
00:02:42It didn't matter.
00:02:43Definitely never said that.
00:02:44All the Ohio State.
00:02:45Absolutely never said that.
00:02:46All the Ohio State.
00:02:47Find it.
00:02:47We have it.
00:02:48I'll find it now.
00:02:49Please.
00:02:49I know it's up there.
00:02:50Find where I said winning a national title would not matter.
00:02:53I feel like I'm in Groundhog's Day.
00:02:54Like, this is, I feel like this is, like, the seventh year we've done this,
00:02:57and it's just the same conversation.
00:02:58It's never going to, because our teams are never going to do anything.
00:03:01Yeah.
00:03:01My question is.
00:03:02Seven straight years of Michigan beating Ohio.
00:03:04That's why.
00:03:04This is, um, certainly not.
00:03:07I mean, it's the glory.
00:03:08It's, like, I feel like we're reaching a new glory days of this rivalry.
00:03:12Yes.
00:03:12Because you both won one in the last two years.
00:03:15The hatred is off the charts.
00:03:17Ohio State's banning us from going into Columbus.
00:03:21Ev says that didn't happen.
00:03:22No, no, no.
00:03:23That's how delirious.
00:03:24I want to clarify.
00:03:25That's how delirious.
00:03:27No, no, no.
00:03:28He's like, they didn't ban us.
00:03:30No, no.
00:03:30I want to clarify that.
00:03:32Ohio State is not allowing our show on campus.
00:03:34That's a fact.
00:03:34It has never.
00:03:35But that's also been a fact for the entire time we've done the show.
00:03:38Wait, but.
00:03:38From day one.
00:03:39No, no, no.
00:03:40From day one, that's always been a thing.
00:03:41But the difference is, they aren't going to rent us space on campus, right?
00:03:46Which is totally their right.
00:03:48Fox Big Noon has the space.
00:03:50And they still want less.
00:03:51We don't have the rent space.
00:03:52We can literally just.
00:03:53We were canceled, Ev.
00:03:54Dude, we can do the show right next to the Fox set.
00:03:57They have the space.
00:03:58Ev, we're doing it in every single campus in America except one.
00:04:03Let's do it.
00:04:04Here's my thing, Ev.
00:04:05And, like, you and I talked about this.
00:04:07I think it's crazy to say that we're bootlickers because we also can't go.
00:04:10I mean, you saw the intro graphic.
00:04:11But we also can't go.
00:04:13And you know that that is, whether you want to use the word soft or not,
00:04:16it's crazy that we are not allowed to go to Ohio State's campus with Fox.
00:04:19Listen, I said this isn't unnecessary.
00:04:22I want to.
00:04:23Obviously, I would like to be there amongst all my national champion brothers and
00:04:27sisters accepting the trophy, playing a huge matchup week one.
00:04:31But, listen, Ohio State runs the Big Ten, and when they tell Fox, jump,
00:04:36they say, how high?
00:04:38It's that simple.
00:04:39So, if we want to bully them out, if we don't want that loudmouth punk Dave
00:04:43in our stadium, then he's out.
00:04:45Done.
00:04:45Boom.
00:04:46See ya.
00:04:46Yeah, and I have no problem with that.
00:04:49Ev, I have no problem with that.
00:04:51I've said that.
00:04:52If they don't want us there, they don't want us there.
00:04:55Don't be little cowards like you always are and be like,
00:04:58it wasn't us.
00:04:59You're lying, A.D.
00:05:00It wasn't me.
00:05:01Yes, it was.
00:05:03Well, no, he said you're not banned from the Ohio Stadium.
00:05:05I think that's correct.
00:05:05Yes, we are.
00:05:06I think if you bought a ticket and walked in, they're going to let you in.
00:05:08Dave, are you banned from the stadium?
00:05:10If Dave bought a ticket to this game and walked in, he's going to go in.
00:05:14I can get in the stadium, I assume, to walk in to watch the game.
00:05:18And that's what Ross Spork was talking about.
00:05:20He said, was Dave banned from the stadium?
00:05:22No, no, no.
00:05:23Prior years, prior years, the entire Big Noon kickoff are all credentialed to be on the
00:05:28sidelines.
00:05:29They said, I'm not.
00:05:31I have a simple question.
00:05:33I have a simple question.
00:05:34And Ross Bjork, I mean, he's a lot of a snake.
00:05:36I have a simple question.
00:05:37Big Ev, you obviously know, and I want it on the record, I actually like this move from
00:05:42Ohio State.
00:05:42I wish they would just own it because I think rivalries make sports better.
00:05:45I wish they would have been like, yeah, we're not fucking letting Dave in here.
00:05:48What the fuck?
00:05:48We don't like this guy.
00:05:49Yes, me too.
00:05:49I would have respected that.
00:05:50Yeah, totally.
00:05:51And so my question for you, though, Big Ev, is this.
00:05:54You obviously diehard Buckeye.
00:05:57You know how Ryan Day operates.
00:06:00Tell me in your heart of hearts, Ryan Day, he absolutely 100% is scared of Dave and thinks
00:06:08about Dave and is bothered by Dave.
00:06:10No.
00:06:11Oh, come on.
00:06:12You think Ryan Day put this hit in?
00:06:14No.
00:06:15I know.
00:06:15Ryan Day.
00:06:15I don't know who put this hit in, but I know he's bothered by Dave.
00:06:18You're talking about the same guy that beat Notre Dame and immediately talked about Lou
00:06:22Holtz.
00:06:22He is bothered by what people.
00:06:23But Lou Holtz talked shit about him.
00:06:24So he stuffed it back in his face.
00:06:25Well, right, but Dave does too.
00:06:26That's what sports is.
00:06:27But to say he doesn't think about these people is crazy.
00:06:30But he thinks about everyone.
00:06:32It's all the people talking shit.
00:06:32And it bothers him because that's the first thing.
00:06:34I don't think Dave stands alone in that.
00:06:36I'm sure there's a lot of people that he doesn't talk about.
00:06:37Oh, yeah, I'm sure as well.
00:06:38But Dave also is there.
00:06:39Ev, why, if it didn't bother Ryan Day and it doesn't bother Ohio State, why was the
00:06:46plug pulled on our show?
00:06:49Because we do what we want and we're winners.
00:06:51So we don't want you there.
00:06:52That's not even an answer.
00:06:53That's not even an answer.
00:06:55What do you mean?
00:06:56That's a clear answer.
00:06:56You don't want to be there?
00:06:57No, I want to be there.
00:06:59So then, like, they're also kicking you out.
00:07:01But, I mean, that's the deal.
00:07:02Everyone decides to deal with the devil.
00:07:04That's the deal I signed.
00:07:05Your answer of why did they pull the plug because they do what they want.
00:07:09Exactly.
00:07:09What does that have to do with anything?
00:07:11Why did they pull the plug?
00:07:13Because this is what it – because we can throw our weight around.
00:07:15Like, we're the only school in the Big Ten that matters.
00:07:18Fox doesn't have a big, crazy TV deal for the Big Ten if Ohio State stopped it.
00:07:22Why?
00:07:23Because you're a loudmouthed punk and we don't want you there.
00:07:26Simple as that.
00:07:26All right, so you admit that you banned us.
00:07:28Like, that's fine.
00:07:28That's fine.
00:07:29Just admit it.
00:07:30Just say, Ohio State banned us from the campus.
00:07:32And we are five bootlickers for Dave because we're mad we can't go.
00:07:36You guys ban us.
00:07:36Oh, I'm not mad at it.
00:07:37It was one week – I get to stay at home on Liberty Weekend.
00:07:40I am not mad.
00:07:41That's what you're going to do to me.
00:07:41I'm very happy with Ohio State.
00:07:43I'm pumped that they did this.
00:07:44I'm still going to go.
00:07:45I've got to go.
00:07:46I've got to jump on a plane in an hour.
00:07:49No, I was –
00:07:49Ohio State fans –
00:07:50When I found out they did this, I was like, yes.
00:07:51We said this, like, on unnecessary roughness.
00:07:53Like, I'm –
00:07:54Ohio State fans being like, you guys are making this up.
00:07:56We had our flights booked, our hotels booked.
00:07:58We had everything.
00:07:59And to the point, and Brandon brought this up yesterday too, like,
00:08:02Ole Miss was not going to let us on campus.
00:08:04The athletic department was like, we cannot let Brandon Walker on campus.
00:08:07And Lane Kiffin himself was like, why would we be soft
00:08:10and not let a Mississippi State guy on campus?
00:08:12It is a soft move regardless of if you think it is or not.
00:08:15We would talk about this with any school.
00:08:16Ole Miss almost picked this.
00:08:17And, Ev, what about that Bobby Carpenter being like,
00:08:19I have an authority 100% all the way up.
00:08:23They don't like Dave.
00:08:24They're not going to let him –
00:08:25Where is this coming from?
00:08:26Well, no, I'm sure – because we – I'm sure we, the administration,
00:08:30whoever threw their weight around.
00:08:32This is the most stuttering Big Ev has done.
00:08:34Well, because he's got – the problem for Big Ev right now
00:08:37is he doesn't know which we is we.
00:08:39Because it's literally we.
00:08:41Yeah.
00:08:41And then Ohio State's we.
00:08:42Well, it's fair.
00:08:43And your we's are going after each other.
00:08:44You got a we-we off.
00:08:45It's fair.
00:08:45You do what we do.
00:08:46You got a we-we off.
00:08:47No, that's true.
00:08:48I am going to we-we off.
00:08:49But –
00:08:49Big Ev, the administration made a call.
00:08:51They didn't want you in the stadium for the pregame,
00:08:54and they booted you.
00:08:55I think that – they threw their weight around.
00:08:56Who made that call?
00:08:57The higher-ups.
00:08:59Who?
00:09:00President, whoever.
00:09:01I don't know.
00:09:01Somebody in the –
00:09:02The president is afraid to be, but not Ryan Day.
00:09:05Somebody in the higher-ups.
00:09:07Obviously, I don't know exactly who made it.
00:09:08But Ohio State made the call.
00:09:10Yeah, I said that from the beginning.
00:09:11Well, no, because then you wanted all of us to rescind our Fox takes.
00:09:14Well, no, no, no.
00:09:15It was about – but it was about Dave being banned from the stadium.
00:09:17It was not about – it was not about the –
00:09:19But he is banned from the sidelines.
00:09:21But he is banned from the sidelines because of Ohio State.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:24You're banned from the pregame show, correct?
00:09:26This thing is just so – it's so – like, it's so obvious what happened,
00:09:30and it's okay to just admit it.
00:09:31They banned us from doing the show there.
00:09:34They're bothered by Dave.
00:09:36Fox is a great partner and stepped in and was like,
00:09:38hey, it's actually our decision, and now we're here.
00:09:40And the thing – and they just can't shake it.
00:09:44It doesn't – that's why this national title, Sports Illustrated,
00:09:47wrote a great article on it the other day.
00:09:49Like, no matter what Ohio State does, they can't shake the allegation in the shadow of Michigan.
00:09:55They are a soft school, and as long as Michigan is beating the piss out of them,
00:10:01it doesn't matter what they do.
00:10:03It'll always be, but what about Michigan?
00:10:06But, no, it's not – the only people saying that are you.
00:10:09You're the only – you and Michigan fans are the only people saying that.
00:10:13No one else cares about that.
00:10:14I just said it.
00:10:15Sports Illustrated wrote an article on it.
00:10:17Oh, Sports Illustrated.
00:10:18Why are we talking about me so much?
00:10:20Like, if they just said nothing –
00:10:23Jesus Christ.
00:10:23If they just said nothing and let us into the game, this wouldn't even be a story.
00:10:28That is true.
00:10:29If I do have a question, if, like, Michigan wouldn't let Urban Meyer into the big house,
00:10:35that would be a weak move, right?
00:10:36No, they shouldn't if they had balls.
00:10:39They let him – he walked all over them during the rivalry when he was coaching,
00:10:42and he walked all over them around.
00:10:44That's crazy.
00:10:44That's crazy.
00:10:45We love rivalries.
00:10:46We love them, and we don't hide behind them.
00:10:50Who's hiding behind it?
00:10:51We're the champs, and you're sitting there bitching, complaining.
00:10:53What do you mean who's hiding behind it?
00:10:55You're A.D., Ross, whatever his name is.
00:10:57Because you're not banned from the stadium.
00:10:59It had nothing to do with this.
00:10:59He was asking the right question.
00:11:00I don't even know who Dave Portnoy is.
00:11:02This is all fucked.
00:11:03That's hiding behind it, big man.
00:11:05No, but you're not banned from the stadium.
00:11:06And Ross Bjork, Brandon, you can –
00:11:09Ross Bjork is a bad person.
00:11:10Don't get me started on Ross Bjork.
00:11:11Yeah, he's a horrible person.
00:11:11It started on it.
00:11:13He was bad at Ole Miss.
00:11:14He was bad at A&M.
00:11:14He is a flim-flam artist, a snake oil salesman.
00:11:17Oh, a flim-flam artist.
00:11:18Yes, he is.
00:11:18He's the national champion.
00:11:19I wouldn't believe that man's talking to people notarized.
00:11:21He is absolutely –
00:11:23I like that.
00:11:24Listen, I'm not the biggest Team Dave Portnoy guy in the world,
00:11:27but if it's Bjork against Dave, give me Dave all day ever.
00:11:29Wow, look at that.
00:11:31Ross Bjork is a shit person.
00:11:33Oh, man.
00:11:34He's a national champion.
00:11:35That's all I know.
00:11:36Fact.
00:11:36Okay.
00:11:36National champion A.D., fact.
00:11:38I will say that I was also happy we were in studio because it's –
00:11:42you know, to start the season, we have a lot of great games.
00:11:44It's the best week one I think we've ever had.
00:11:46We have three games with all top – or ranked teams.
00:11:50Do you wear – Brandon, I have a question for you.
00:11:51Three top ten matchups.
00:11:52I'll say it for you.
00:11:53Yeah, that was tough.
00:11:53That was tough for me.
00:11:54I'm shook right now.
00:11:55I wish we were in Columbus.
00:11:56Dave, you're still going to Columbus, yeah?
00:11:57You'll go today?
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:00I leave today.
00:12:01Listen, I – my – I'm in work mode.
00:12:05Okay.
00:12:05I'm traveling now 100 million days.
00:12:07I will be in Columbus this afternoon.
00:12:10Three top ten matchups with Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
00:12:13This show, I believe, comes out Thursday night, so we've got every game on the slate.
00:12:17So let's just get right into it.
00:12:18Well, obviously, we'll talk about the five best games of the weekend.
00:12:21It is the High Noon College Football Weekend Preview.
00:12:23We all know that Saturdays and fall mean one thing,
00:12:25and nothing goes better with college football game day than High Noon.
00:12:28High Noon is under 100 calories made with real spirits and natural flavors
00:12:32and is available in vodka, seltzer, tequila, seltzer, and non-carbonated vodka iced tea,
00:12:36which means you can tailgate like a champion.
00:12:38We've got all different flavors.
00:12:40We've got the peach, the pineapple, the original tea over there for Brandon,
00:12:43which is obviously going to be your favorite, and the watermelon.
00:12:46So this fall, make High Noon your MVP.
00:12:48Visit HighNoonSpirits.com to find a pack near you.
00:12:50High Noon, sun is up.
00:12:53Okay.
00:12:53We're going to start with a game that I don't think most people think is going to be a game.
00:12:57But, Brandon, I'm going to start with you because we've talked a lot about this too.
00:12:59Number 8 Alabama at Florida State, Alabama minus 14, the over-under at 49-and-a-half.
00:13:06A lot of road favorites this weekend.
00:13:08Obviously, this one makes sense.
00:13:10Where do you stand on Alabama being 8th in the country?
00:13:12So I was the only person in America with the foresight to call Alabama going 9-and-3 last year,
00:13:17and I did it, and I was right, and I'm going to do it again.
00:13:20They're going 9-and-3 again.
00:13:22This is not –
00:13:23You also said Travis Hunter was a bad bet for the Hawks.
00:13:25Not what I said.
00:13:26I said it's a good bet if he stays healthy, and he did,
00:13:28and I didn't think he was going to stay healthy.
00:13:30That's what I said, and you know that's what I said.
00:13:32Anyway, he threw my rhythm off.
00:13:35Kalen DeBoer does not fit Alabama.
00:13:37He is a great coach.
00:13:38This is a great program.
00:13:39They don't fit together.
00:13:40In the SEC, you've got to be a certain brand of jackass to be a successful SEC head coach.
00:13:47I don't think he has it.
00:13:48I don't think he can navigate the pressures and the stupid stuff that you've got to deal with
00:13:53to be the Alabama head coach.
00:13:55Minus 14 right here.
00:13:56Alabama minus the 14 is probably the right play because Florida State was such a mess,
00:14:00and they're going with Castellanos from Boston College.
00:14:03I don't believe in it, but I'm going to say Alabama minus 14,
00:14:06but at the same time, it stinks and it smells, and I don't love it.
00:14:10Dan, Florida State obviously had one of the worst 180s last year,
00:14:14won two games after they got left out of the playoff and thought it was the biggest robbery ever,
00:14:18which you could still make that argument.
00:14:19Florida State is in a bad spot.
00:14:22Do you want to make it better?
00:14:23They try to fix a lot of it with the portal, and that's always hard to do.
00:14:29It doesn't seem like – now that we're figuring out how the portal works,
00:14:32when teams build through the portal, it can give you a little bit of a band-aid,
00:14:37but it's also not like a – the program needs to be built in multiple ways.
00:14:41I'm higher on Alabama this year than Brandon, and that's for one person, one person only.
00:14:47Ryan Grubb.
00:14:48Ryan Grubb.
00:14:49Offensive coordinator, he is back with Kalen DeBoer.
00:14:51He was gone from Kalen DeBoer last year.
00:14:53He was with Kalen DeBoer pretty much their entire career before that.
00:14:58Look, I agree with Brandon's SEC culture take that Kalen DeBoer might be a bad fit.
00:15:04If they can win football games, like, it solves a lot of the problems.
00:15:08I think Alabama's defense is elite, and Ty Simpson I'm not a huge believer in,
00:15:13but he's got some awesome wide receivers, and that makes it a lot easier for him too.
00:15:16That's what I was going to ask.
00:15:17Where's your confidence meter with Ty Simpson?
00:15:18It doesn't matter.
00:15:19He's got one of the best receivers in the country, if not best.
00:15:22And then he's got other loaded guys on the offensive line, and he's going to be fine.
00:15:27Like, he doesn't have to be great.
00:15:28Like, think about all the Alabama quarterbacks before we got to the, like,
00:15:33Tua and some of the guys in the last few years.
00:15:37Like, they had guys who could just run it, you know, run the offense
00:15:41and not have to be, like, incredible and sexy.
00:15:44So I think they'll be just fine, and I have them minus 14.
00:15:47Dave?
00:15:48I like – I should say like.
00:15:51I love the quarterback from B.C., Castellanos.
00:15:55I'm a huge fan of his.
00:15:57He got benched at B.C.
00:15:59What do you want me to say?
00:16:00I'm a huge fan of his.
00:16:01You just know his name?
00:16:03No, I watch him play a lot.
00:16:04I think he's good.
00:16:05I feel like you might be confusing him with the guy before him or somebody else.
00:16:11Castellanos got benched and, like, quit.
00:16:13What was his name?
00:16:14Jerkovic?
00:16:14Phil Jerkovic.
00:16:16Jerkovic.
00:16:16No, I thought I liked Castellanos.
00:16:18I think you might have liked Jerkovic.
00:16:20Well, now I'm going to have to do some research.
00:16:22It's a good thing we have this show to pregame me for going into the other show
00:16:26where people are going to be like, what's he talking about?
00:16:30Yeah.
00:16:31I don't think there's any way to avoid that.
00:16:33All right.
00:16:33Look that up because I think you like Jerkovic.
00:16:37No.
00:16:37I like – isn't Castellanos the guy who runs around?
00:16:39Yeah, he does.
00:16:40Yeah.
00:16:40But, Dave, he did get benched in the middle of the season.
00:16:44He did have – he was good.
00:16:44He had moments.
00:16:45I'm going to come to Dave's defense here a little bit.
00:16:46He did – early in the season against Florida State, especially, he was good.
00:16:50He just – he ran out of gas and he got benched by the end of the season.
00:16:53But he's – against Florida State last year in the second or third game of the year.
00:16:56I thought he got, like, kind of hurt.
00:16:59He did have moments.
00:17:00Yeah.
00:17:00But I do think he might have been talking about Phil.
00:17:02This is a scrambling, rambling man.
00:17:04He might be right.
00:17:04I watch him play a decent amount.
00:17:05I liked him.
00:17:06He was making plays.
00:17:08I'm going to take him in the – Blutman, you're sitting here in the darkness.
00:17:12What do I – like –
00:17:13Which guy is he going to hurt?
00:17:15He's describing Castellanos.
00:17:16I'm sure he likes his moxie and that he's talking a bunch in recent months,
00:17:20saying Alabama doesn't got Saban.
00:17:22I'm going to go down there.
00:17:23I'm going to show him up.
00:17:24We're going to be the class of the ACC.
00:17:27I like quarterbacks that can make plays with their legs, run around.
00:17:30I think he keeps the game close.
00:17:32I think he's a good player.
00:17:33We'll see if I'm right or wrong.
00:17:35Everyone jumps out my throat saying I got the wrong guy.
00:17:37But I described the right guy.
00:17:39So, I think I actually have the right guy.
00:17:41So, I'm going to take the points.
00:17:44I think he has the right guy.
00:17:45I think he has the right guy.
00:17:46I didn't think he had the right guy.
00:17:48But now, I don't know if he knew that he got benched.
00:17:50I just think he's wrong about him being the right guy.
00:17:52I thought he got hurt and didn't come back as strong.
00:17:56He might have gotten hurt for a game or two.
00:17:59But then, by the end, like, he got benched and then just left the team.
00:18:02He quit the team.
00:18:03He actually left BC.
00:18:04Ev, who are you taking?
00:18:07I'm taking Bama, but not super confident.
00:18:09I just don't trust Mike Norvell at all.
00:18:11I think he's kind of like – he was a merchant of a great collection of talent that one year, two years ago.
00:18:15He's been pretty bad outside of that.
00:18:17I'll take Bama just because I trust him a little more.
00:18:19But it's super chalked public Joe play.
00:18:21I don't love it.
00:18:22Yeah, I'm going to take Alabama, and Brandon, you said this earlier this week, too, that I don't think many people think it's going to happen.
00:18:28But of all the things that could happen this weekend, Alabama losing to Florida State would probably be one of the most disastrous, correct?
00:18:35It would be hilarious, yeah.
00:18:36It would be the most shocking.
00:18:37It would be incredible.
00:18:38I would love it.
00:18:39Alabama fans would be furious.
00:18:41Yeah, you'd get fired by Monday.
00:18:42You really think so?
00:18:43Maybe not, but close.
00:18:44Thomas Castellanos was benched at Boston College to a mismatch between his play style and the pro style of Coach Bill O'Brien,
00:18:51coupled with Castellanos being limited by injury and poor performance against Syracuse.
00:18:55That's what happened.
00:18:57I'm on this guy.
00:18:58I'm locked in.
00:18:59You're on this.
00:19:00I do like that the research for Big Noon kickoff is happening right now.
00:19:05I love it.
00:19:06Okay, let's go to Virginia Tech at number 13, South Carolina.
00:19:08South Carolina minus 7.5, the over 152.5.
00:19:11Dan, South Carolina, one of the most hyped teams going into 2025, obviously had a crazy end to the last season.
00:19:18Where do you land on them with this hype?
00:19:20I'm not really buying – I mean, I'm buying the hype in the fact that they're doing better than they have been in, whatever, the last five years.
00:19:29And I do love the quarterback, but I don't think they're going to be a 10-win team.
00:19:35No.
00:19:36I don't think they might be a 9-win team.
00:19:38Okay.
00:19:39I think they're maybe an 8-win team.
00:19:41You can keep going for me.
00:19:42Okay.
00:19:437.
00:19:44You can keep going, man.
00:19:456.
00:19:45I think you can go to 6.
00:19:46I've landed in the 7-8 range for myself.
00:19:48I'm going to take Virginia Tech here just because it's, you know, Beamer versus Beamer because I'll always have Virginia Tech as Beamer.
00:19:55And I just like to look at those teams that are getting all the hype, getting all the publicity, going into week one.
00:20:03I'm going to take Virginia Tech plus 7.5.
00:20:05Brandon?
00:20:05So if Virginia Tech blocks a field goal or a punt this game, it's Beamer ball.
00:20:09Yeah, yeah.
00:20:09It's Beamer versus Beamer.
00:20:10You know that Virginia Tech will always be Beamer.
00:20:13I got it.
00:20:14I got it.
00:20:14You're right.
00:20:15Virginia Tech plus 7.5.
00:20:17South Carolina is, listen, an average of 12 teams every year that start out in the top 25 don't end up in the top 25.
00:20:23South Carolina fits the profile to a T.
00:20:25Defensively, they bring back Dylan Stewart, a five-star from two years ago.
00:20:28But pretty much nobody else that was there last year and that was important last year.
00:20:32Their defense was great and helped Sellers along when he wasn't really ready.
00:20:35He's ready now.
00:20:36He's very good.
00:20:37But you can't – you're not going to be a great SEC team with one good quarterback and one good defensive player.
00:20:42I think they're a six-win team and Virginia Tech starts it right here.
00:20:45I think this is a very disappointing game for South Carolina.
00:20:47They're replacing a lot on the defensive line.
00:20:48But I think Lenora Sellers, I mean, when you look at how crazy his year was last year, like in September he was 15th in SEC quarterback rankings.
00:20:55By November 1st he was first.
00:20:57Like that is a crazy jump.
00:20:59I think he's a very special quarterback.
00:21:00My question for you, Brandon, with Virginia Tech is that they have two new quarterbacks, Brent Prye.
00:21:04They had a lot of talent transferred out.
00:21:07What makes you confident in them over what we have seen with South Carolina?
00:21:10This one's more of just a feeling because they did lose a lot of transfer guys.
00:21:12But last year they were a team that was in South Carolina's spot this year.
00:21:16They were the one with the hype.
00:21:17Kyron Drones was the one with the hype.
00:21:19And they lost to Vanderbilt to open week one.
00:21:21I'm just voting – I'm just betting that it flips this year.
00:21:23Okay.
00:21:24Dave, what do you think?
00:21:27I have my gambling brain on here.
00:21:29We've heard a ton about South Carolina all offseason because of the quarterback.
00:21:33But then we sit on this show and people are doing what I would have done, which is let's take Virginia Tech because of all the hype.
00:21:39I mean, I'll still take Virginia Tech even though I'm a little less confident that everyone's taking Virginia Tech.
00:21:45I'm taking South Carolina if that helps at all.
00:21:47I don't know.
00:21:48It's not a full graphic.
00:21:49Yeah, it does.
00:21:49I'm going to take South Carolina.
00:21:53Who are you taking?
00:21:55South Carolina.
00:21:55Okay.
00:21:56Yeah.
00:21:56No, I'm taking South Carolina.
00:21:57I think that it's like almost the reverse.
00:21:59Like I'm not saying South Carolina is going to go be a national title contender,
00:22:02but I think that everyone's like they were so hyped and they had such a great end to the last season
00:22:06and that all of a sudden it's like, well, they're not going to be very good.
00:22:08I just don't think Virginia Tech's very good.
00:22:10Like I'm looking at what they're bringing back.
00:22:11Like I just don't.
00:22:12It would be different if it was a different team.
00:22:14Yeah, but Beamer ball, Dave.
00:22:16Yeah, I know.
00:22:16It's a thing.
00:22:17It is a thing, but it's just like I feel like everyone's.
00:22:19Sometimes I feel like Casey's like new Clalouche.
00:22:21Like don't think, just throw.
00:22:23Like we're kind of like out thinking this pick a little bit.
00:22:26I don't think Virginia Tech's very good and the quarterback is awesome for South Carolina.
00:22:31Yeah.
00:22:31Beamer ball.
00:22:32I think people are way overthinking and I think people are way underestimating South Carolina.
00:22:36Ev, who are you taking?
00:22:36Yeah, I'm taking Tech with the points.
00:22:38It's just gambling.
00:22:39I'm not high on South Carolina either.
00:22:41I think they're like a 7-5 team this year.
00:22:43They just lost too much.
00:22:44I think Sellers is very good.
00:22:45It's just I don't think they have much around them right now.
00:22:47I think that's going to be a problem.
00:22:48So I'll take the points.
00:22:49Okay.
00:22:50Very exciting game on Saturday night.
00:22:52Number 9 LSU at number 4 Clemson.
00:22:55Clemson right now minus 3.5.
00:22:57The over under at 57.5.
00:22:58Dave, this game, like when you look at quarterback matchups going into the season, like this one's going to be circled.
00:23:04You've got two guys that are very high up in the Heisman Trophy race to start the season.
00:23:09Garrett Nussmeyer versus Cade Klubnick.
00:23:11Where do you land on this one?
00:23:14Simple.
00:23:14I like Nussmeyer and I don't like Klubnick.
00:23:17So I'm taking the points in LSU.
00:23:20Obviously, night game at Clemson.
00:23:24Interesting.
00:23:24I think a lot of people are obviously looking at the ranking at Clemson 4.
00:23:27A lot of people are saying they're back and have a big year.
00:23:29I think it's a close game though.
00:23:30I think it's a fourth quarter game, field goal game.
00:23:33So give me the points in LSU.
00:23:35And I much prefer the LSU quarterback.
00:23:39Dan?
00:23:41Give me some of the best traditions in sports.
00:23:44Best traditions in sports.
00:23:45Yeah, just a couple.
00:23:46Just a couple.
00:23:47All right.
00:23:48Inner Sandman at Virginia Tech.
00:23:50Okay.
00:23:50All right.
00:23:51We have the – I don't know.
00:23:54You put me on the spot.
00:23:54Just traditions in sports.
00:23:56Anything.
00:23:56Big Ev, you got one?
00:23:58I mean, The Rock.
00:23:59Okay.
00:24:00War Eagle.
00:24:01Okay.
00:24:02Here's a great tradition in sports.
00:24:04I think we're going on year four or five here.
00:24:06Five.
00:24:06I believe in LSU week one every year.
00:24:09And then I watch as Brian Kelly tries to cry and has a red face on the camera.
00:24:14And it's like, we got to figure it out.
00:24:15And I get pissed at him.
00:24:16And then I trash him on part of my take the next day.
00:24:20And I'm really upset at myself.
00:24:21And I'm going to do it again.
00:24:22So I'm going to take LSU.
00:24:23Oh, okay.
00:24:24When he blows this game.
00:24:25And he's like, we just got to figure it out.
00:24:28He's got the red face.
00:24:29And he's a piece of shit.
00:24:30I'm going to be like, why'd you do it?
00:24:31But now it's tradition.
00:24:32It's almost like, hey, it's football season.
00:24:35We're here.
00:24:36The summer is over.
00:24:37When I see Brian Kelly with his red face looking up at the screen being like, how did that happen?
00:24:42That means football is back.
00:24:44So I'm going to do it again.
00:24:44Brandon, who started that little streak?
00:24:46Mississippi State, RIP Mike Leach.
00:24:48Yeah, I remember you skipping down the street.
00:24:50I don't think I've ever seen you happier.
00:24:5244-34.
00:24:53Yeah, Mississippi State, UCLA, then twice to Florida State and USC last year.
00:24:57It's not a fun time.
00:24:58That was O still.
00:25:00Yeah, it was.
00:25:01That was O.
00:25:01It was O.
00:25:01But it started the LSU streak.
00:25:03Yeah, it started the LSU streak, but that was O.
00:25:05I'm specifically talking about Brian Kelly and that red face and him doing the press conference
00:25:09and just looking like a loser.
00:25:11Brandon?
00:25:11Well, Dan's right, but his pick is wrong because of it.
00:25:15Listen.
00:25:15No, but I'm right all around.
00:25:18I know what you're doing.
00:25:19You're doing tradition.
00:25:20No, just like, yeah, like getting mad.
00:25:21You've got to have something you got mad at.
00:25:23Yeah, you've got to have a little fire in the middle.
00:25:24Yeah, right.
00:25:25That's fine.
00:25:25Clemson, I like Clemson here.
00:25:26I like Clemson to cover the points.
00:25:28I think these are two playoff teams.
00:25:29I think these are two teams that could play for a national title.
00:25:31I think that's how good they are.
00:25:32I love Nussmeier.
00:25:33I love the receivers.
00:25:35But Brian Kelly's lost to USC in this spot last year.
00:25:38He's lost to Florida State twice in this spot.
00:25:41Clemson's way better than either, well, the Florida State team two years ago or three years
00:25:45ago was pretty good, whatever it was, two years ago.
00:25:47But last year, this team's way better than USC.
00:25:49Clemson minus three and a half, and they're at home.
00:25:50I like Clemson.
00:25:51Clemson's also number one nationally in returning production.
00:25:54And obviously, a lot of people are talking about, like, Dabo doesn't go on the transfer portal.
00:25:57He doesn't want to evolve with the sport.
00:25:58But right now, this team is the best returning team in the country, and there's not really
00:26:03any question marks.
00:26:03Their defense is legit.
00:26:05I do like Cade Klubnick.
00:26:06I think that Nussmeier's going to be great, but I've seen him play some pretty shitty games.
00:26:11I'm going to take Clemson.
00:26:12I think Clemson's going undefeated in the regular season, so obviously, I think they're going
00:26:14to win this game.
00:26:15But I think that Dabo is back this year.
00:26:18Ev, who are you taking?
00:26:19Yeah, I'm taking Clemson and the over.
00:26:21I mean, with two of maybe the best quarterbacks in the country, I think we get a shootout here.
00:26:24I think they both show out, but I trust Clemson's physicality a little more.
00:26:27I trust Davos' preparation more.
00:26:29I'm taking Clemson.
00:26:30Okay, Sunday night game, number six Notre Dame at number 10 Miami.
00:26:34Notre Dame minus two and a half.
00:26:36The over-under at 49 and a half.
00:26:38Brandon, Carson Beck at Miami.
00:26:40Obviously, the $4 million paycheck to go to Miami.
00:26:43Notre Dame bringing back most people, but they did have a little bit of a quarterback battle.
00:26:48They're going with CJ Carr.
00:26:49What do you think is going to happen?
00:26:51Carson Beck got screwed at Georgia.
00:26:52He wasn't as good as people thought he was going to be, but if you look at his numbers,
00:26:56he was still pretty good last year.
00:26:58He stunk.
00:26:59He was still pretty good last year.
00:27:00He stunk.
00:27:01And Georgia, Kirby Smart gave him a terrible set of receivers.
00:27:04They led the country in drop passes, didn't give him great running backs.
00:27:07Now, Miami, they had to fix their defense.
00:27:10They need a quarterback to come in and be pretty good, and they need a defense to come a long way.
00:27:14That being said, I love Miami this year.
00:27:16I love the talent.
00:27:17People like to crap on Mario Cristobal.
00:27:19They went 10-2 last year.
00:27:20And if their defense wasn't as bad as it was, their defense wasn't as bad as it was.
00:27:24They lost to Syracuse with the season on the line.
00:27:27That's fine.
00:27:27That's a fair crapping on.
00:27:28It's a fair crapping on.
00:27:29That's fine.
00:27:30But they like to crap on them a little bit too much.
00:27:32They went 10-2 last year.
00:27:33They have fixed the defense.
00:27:34Coordinator out.
00:27:35New coordinator from Minnesota comes in.
00:27:37A lot of new players.
00:27:38And I'm talking good, solid, strong transfer class.
00:27:42I like Miami to win this game.
00:27:43Miami Moneyline is my favorite pick of the week.
00:27:44And, Dan, I mean, obviously when you have Cam Ward, like you know that your offense is not going to be as good this year.
00:27:50But it doesn't have to be as good because, like Brandon mentioned, they go get Corey Heatherman at D.C.
00:27:53They go fix what we – it looks like they fixed everything they needed to on defense in the portal.
00:27:58So even if the Miami defense is just a little bit better and the offense takes a step back, this could still be a very good team.
00:28:03Yeah, it could be a very good team.
00:28:04I think the Cristobal criticism is fair in the fact that he is a very good recruiter.
00:28:10He's a very good collector of talent.
00:28:12He builds a great roster.
00:28:13And then he has a game a year where he just kind of blows it.
00:28:17And that's what the problem is.
00:28:18And that's what they did last year when they had everything in front of them.
00:28:21I'm going to take Notre Dame here.
00:28:22I'm a big Marcus Freeman guy.
00:28:23I also will get to it later.
00:28:25But I have my Heisman pick, so it ties into this game.
00:28:28Okay.
00:28:28Ev.
00:28:29Yeah, I flip-flopped on this earlier in the week.
00:28:31I'm going to take Notre Dame just because I trust the coaching edge I think is huge.
00:28:35And the thing with Notre Dame, I think you can just trust, like, good offensive line, good defense.
00:28:39They're going to run the ball, elite running back.
00:28:41Miami, there's just too many question marks.
00:28:43There's a lot of puzzle pieces put together in one offseason.
00:28:45I just trust Notre Dame a little more.
00:28:47I'll take Notre Dame.
00:28:48Dave?
00:28:50I agree with what Ev said for the most part.
00:28:53And even if you go back on what Brandon's saying, they brought in all these transfer kids, the portal, their defense, coordinator,
00:28:59question mark, question mark, question mark.
00:29:01You don't know how they play.
00:29:02I think Notre Dame is a pretty solid team.
00:29:07Quarterback's not back.
00:29:08I like Notre Dame.
00:29:09Miami's going to have to prove it to me because Miami, they've been saying this about Miami now year after year.
00:29:15Like, oh, Miami's back.
00:29:16Crystal Ball's got them going, and they're not.
00:29:18So I'll take the team that has proven to be a tougher and better team.
00:29:22I'll take the Irish.
00:29:23I'm going to take Miami money line.
00:29:25I'm also very high on them.
00:29:26I like Carson Beck.
00:29:27I understand that he didn't have, like, incredible games last year, but I do think it was a bad situation.
00:29:31I think that he's another product of people being like, oh, he didn't work out at Georgia.
00:29:35He sucks.
00:29:35Like, I think he's going to be a good enough quarterback to get that offense where they need to be,
00:29:38and I trust the defense will be better, and I trust Mario Crystal Ball.
00:29:41And I do like Marcus Freeman a lot.
00:29:43I'm excited for this game, but I'm going to go with Miami.
00:29:45All right, the big boy.
00:29:46I do think you're going to – when you're talking about Beck, you've got to imagine he only transferred because of his girlfriend,
00:29:51and then they broke up.
00:29:52And, yeah, and he got $4 million to do it, too.
00:29:54The car's stolen.
00:29:56And he was bad last year.
00:29:58I know he didn't have help, but, like, you can't look at the – I watched the games.
00:30:01He's going to have to beat the – was he a Bowers-McCockey merchant?
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:05Elite NFL talent that he was throwing to.
00:30:08Did he really only transfer because she was there?
00:30:10Yes.
00:30:10No, no.
00:30:11I mean, that was a major reason why.
00:30:14What?
00:30:15No, no, no.
00:30:15That was a major reason why he went there.
00:30:17A hundred percent.
00:30:17That they broke up because he cheated on her.
00:30:19A hundred percent.
00:30:19Well, I knew that.
00:30:20I knew they broke up.
00:30:20A factor.
00:30:21And it's the Miami guy who's the booster.
00:30:23They were all on the boat together.
00:30:24What are we talking about?
00:30:25It was a hundred percent because of that.
00:30:27The Cavender twin.
00:30:28It was also the gobs of money that gave him.
00:30:30Four million, yeah.
00:30:31Yeah, but who – like, Cavender and the guy – I can't remember his name.
00:30:36They're all in cahoots.
00:30:37Why they're back is, yes, they paid him, but he's –
00:30:40if they're not Dayton, there's zero percent chance he's at Miami.
00:30:44Zero.
00:30:45People also forget he wasn't even Miami's top option quarterback in the portal.
00:30:49They whiffed on their top guys.
00:30:51Who was their number one pick?
00:30:52Mark Gronowski.
00:30:54Okay, all right.
00:30:54Who's at Iowa now?
00:30:56Yeah.
00:30:56Who, by the way, that's my sleeper team of the year, so thank you.
00:31:00Good stat there, Blutman.
00:31:01Yes, from the dark, Liam Blutman.
00:31:03Okay, the game –
00:31:04I don't think it's dark enough over there.
00:31:05It needs to be – I think on camera it looks dark.
00:31:07You need a dimmed light.
00:31:07I think on camera it looks pretty dark.
00:31:09Well, he has a spot on him.
00:31:10We don't want him too light.
00:31:11All right, no.
00:31:12That's true.
00:31:13We need him to stay in the shadows.
00:31:16Okay, the game that we talked about we were going to be at,
00:31:18but now we're not going to be at because Ohio State won't let us be there.
00:31:21But, Ev, I will start with you.
00:31:22You are the national champion coming into the season, number one, Texas,
00:31:25at number three, Ohio State.
00:31:26Ohio State right now, minus one and a half, the over-under, 47 and a half.
00:31:30Texas, tons of hype with Arch Manning.
00:31:32Ohio State, the national champions.
00:31:34Texas coming into the horseshoe, Ev.
00:31:36I know where you're going to go with this, but I'm going to let you start
00:31:38because you are the current reigning national champion on this show.
00:31:41I actually feel, like, pretty confident.
00:31:44I think the closer it's got, I think I'm going to feel more confident.
00:31:46I understand, like, the championship hangover and all that.
00:31:48I get that.
00:31:49But I think in a lot of the areas that other people think we're going to decline on,
00:31:54I think are going to be some of our strengths.
00:31:55Like, our D-line against their offensive line, I think it's going to be a strength.
00:31:58I know we're replacing almost the whole D-line,
00:31:59but everyone coming in and that has been behind him for a few years is so good,
00:32:03so talented, has been productive in their roles,
00:32:05probably taking over, like, the main role, the starting role.
00:32:08So I feel good about that.
00:32:09And still, the guys like Caleb Downs, still having Jeremiah Smith,
00:32:12bringing in Max Clare, Stutton, and all the receivers.
00:32:15The offensive line is back and be very good.
00:32:17I feel good about this.
00:32:18I think it's going to be a low-scoring game, though.
00:32:19I like the under, but I think Buckeyes win.
00:32:21I really, really do.
00:32:22Dave, would you like to go as a rebuttal, or would you like to go last?
00:32:26I'm rooting for Ohio State here.
00:32:28I'm rooting for the Big Ten.
00:32:30So I hope they win.
00:32:33Obviously, everything I've just said, Ohio State is returning a ton of talent.
00:32:37The quarterback situation, you get Arch Manning, who is obviously super hyped up,
00:32:43versus the guy who looked like he just fell off a soap opera.
00:32:47Looks like standard, like soft Ohio quarterback.
00:32:52I think at home, Ohio, motivated coming off that loss to Michigan.
00:32:59A lot of pressure on them.
00:33:00I'll take Ohio here.
00:33:02They're not coming off the loss to Michigan.
00:33:04They're coming off winning a national title and beating four other teams.
00:33:08Yeah, but nobody cares about that.
00:33:09I think they do.
00:33:10I mean, everyone cares about it.
00:33:11It's what you're talking about right now.
00:33:12Well, we wouldn't be banned from the stadium if they didn't care about that.
00:33:15I mean, we were banned when we were winning by 60.
00:33:20That's a fact.
00:33:21No.
00:33:21We didn't even try.
00:33:23Yes, we did.
00:33:23Well, to Dan's point, we have a spot that they don't need to give us.
00:33:28Because they wouldn't let us.
00:33:29We don't even try, though.
00:33:30We're not on campus 95% of the places we go.
00:33:33We don't even try.
00:33:34Ev, oh, Ev.
00:33:35Ev, but to Dan's point, we didn't have to find a spot.
00:33:38We have the lot with Fox, and they still won't let us there.
00:33:41Correct.
00:33:41It's crazy.
00:33:42Because Ohio State won't let us on the campus.
00:33:44We already settled this, Ev.
00:33:46You guys, it's like we have beach bars real estate in your entire program's head.
00:33:50It's different this year.
00:33:51I don't know what you want to say about that.
00:33:54They don't have to allot Barstool Sports a spot.
00:33:56They allot Fox Sports a spot.
00:33:58And we're there.
00:33:58Big F, if I didn't go to Michigan, we'd be there.
00:34:02Well, yeah, no shit.
00:34:04Like, duh.
00:34:05We're going to be on every campus except Ohio State.
00:34:11Correct.
00:34:11But that sucks.
00:34:13No.
00:34:13I don't understand.
00:34:15Boy, do it.
00:34:16Big F, listen, I'm always on your side, but it is soft.
00:34:20No, we're the winners.
00:34:21We do what the fuck we want.
00:34:22If we don't want a mini's out, that's simple.
00:34:26But you also just said that you guys have always done it, so it's the same thing.
00:34:29It's true.
00:34:29But it's a fact.
00:34:30This is different.
00:34:31This entire discussion is just proof of how in your head we are.
00:34:36But you're acting like it's some, like, it's simple.
00:34:39Hey, we don't want Dave there.
00:34:40Click.
00:34:40Done.
00:34:41Like, it's not some big, oh, my God.
00:34:43Like, we got to.
00:34:44You know how easy it is to keep you out?
00:34:45We said we don't want you there.
00:34:46Boom, you're out.
00:34:46That's how easy it was.
00:34:48I mean, they almost did that to Brandon at Ole Miss, and Lane Kiffin wasn't a pussy and
00:34:52said they can be on campus.
00:34:53Like, that's the point.
00:34:54Ole Miss did the same thing, and Lane Kiffin was like, why are we doing this?
00:34:57Big F, out of kindness of our relationship to Fox, I promise you, Ryan Day sees me in
00:35:06his nightmares every single night.
00:35:08I promise you.
00:35:10I don't think so.
00:35:11I think he's sleeping very comfortably with his national title trophy.
00:35:13You don't know a fucking thing.
00:35:16I know.
00:35:16You don't know shit.
00:35:17Ev, you're just a little fat boy on the outside of the fence.
00:35:21I'm in the inner circle.
00:35:22I know what's going on.
00:35:24I'm just winning national titles.
00:35:26That's all I'm focused on.
00:35:27We're focused on Texas.
00:35:28Win another national title.
00:35:29That's it.
00:35:30No, you're not.
00:35:30You're focused on me.
00:35:32We're not focused on you.
00:35:32I just told you it was, hey, Dave's out.
00:35:34What's the number one story leading into this game this week?
00:35:35What is the number one story?
00:35:37I'd say Arch Manning making his first start against the reigning champs.
00:35:40Me.
00:35:41Michigan and me.
00:35:43Google it.
00:35:44So, Casey, I like Texas.
00:35:46I like Texas here.
00:35:47So, talking about, like, this is the rematch from the college football playoff semis last
00:35:51year.
00:35:51This is when Texas got knocked out of the playoff, and the score doesn't really.
00:35:54They played them better than anybody.
00:35:55Yeah, I mean, they had the toss on the goal line.
00:35:57The score doesn't really indicate exactly how close that was.
00:35:59So, this is a revenge game for Texas.
00:36:02Yeah, but I don't know that revenge or anything.
00:36:04These are two of the three or four best teams in the country, and they're starting the season.
00:36:08A loss doesn't hurt either one of them here, and they're both debuting.
00:36:10Quarterbacks.
00:36:11Ohio State has the home field advantage.
00:36:13I look at the Ohio State offense and defense, the Texas offensive defense.
00:36:16I think Texas' defense has the most sure thing.
00:36:18I think they've got the most talent coming back that I can trust in this particular game.
00:36:21I like Texas to win the game.
00:36:22Yeah, Dan, eight new starters for Ohio State's defense, and that's not to say they're bad.
00:36:26Obviously, Ohio State's going to reload talent, but as far as experience goes, they obviously
00:36:30don't have the experience that Texas' defense does.
00:36:32And that is a question going into week one.
00:36:34In week five, six, eight, nine, ten, that might not matter, but in week one, that could
00:36:37potentially matter.
00:36:38Yeah, I'm going to take Ohio State here, and that's basically based on two things.
00:36:42One, I feel like the whole world is on Texas.
00:36:46I saw it was like 90% of the money in tickets.
00:36:50Excuse me.
00:36:51And then...
00:36:52I was crazy.
00:36:52Yeah.
00:36:53I just got my...
00:36:54Something got caught in my throat.
00:36:55And then Arch Manning, we're not allowed to drink water on the set, so it's a little
00:37:01tough.
00:37:01You have to put it in your mug.
00:37:03We weren't given mugs.
00:37:04We weren't given mugs.
00:37:05Casey got a mug.
00:37:06We didn't get a mug.
00:37:06So I'm just raw-dogging it, Dave.
00:37:10What do you want me to do?
00:37:12And then Arch Manning, I think, is going to be very good.
00:37:14This is a really, really tough first game to walk into.
00:37:18And I know he's played before, but he's played in packages and settings that are conducive
00:37:23to a young quarterback.
00:37:26There's a world where he could just not have the best game here and still have a great
00:37:29season.
00:37:30So I'm going to take Ohio State.
00:37:32What?
00:37:32It's tough for Ohio State's quarterback, too.
00:37:34I mean, Julian Sands never played.
00:37:35Of course, but he's at home.
00:37:36Yeah.
00:37:36And he also has the best wide receiver in the country.
00:37:40But he hasn't played at all.
00:37:41I understand, but having the best wide receiver in the country makes your life a little bit
00:37:44easier as a quarterback at home.
00:37:46I'm not saying that Julian Sands is going to sling it all over the place.
00:37:50It's going to be a tie.
00:37:51I would probably agree with...
00:37:52I'm not going to bet an under in this game because I want to watch every game.
00:37:55I want to be part of it and be excited.
00:37:56But the under seems like a smart play as well.
00:37:59I know that Arch hasn't been the starter, but he has started some games.
00:38:02And I understand it's in the shoe to start the season.
00:38:05I just trust what Texas is bringing back from an experience standpoint a little bit more.
00:38:09I mean, Julian Sands' first game, I have no idea how good he's going to be.
00:38:12I believe in our training.
00:38:13I'm going to take Texas as well.
00:38:14That's not easy for me to say, but that's what I'm going to do.
00:38:16I do believe in this Texas team.
00:38:17And I think Ohio State's defense is going to be phenomenal.
00:38:20They're going to be great every year.
00:38:21Both of these rosters are absolutely loaded.
00:38:23They have superstars on both teams, on both sides of the ball.
00:38:25This game's going to be great.
00:38:27It really is a toss-up either way, but I'm going to go with Texas.
00:38:30Let's get into our DraftKings Dark Horse Host Parlay.
00:38:34The rivalries, the marching bands, the upsets.
00:38:36Saturday's just got way more fun.

00:39:05Who is your dark horse this week?
00:39:07For my dark horse, I believe at UCLA.
00:39:10I love that.
00:39:11I think UCLA turned a corner a little bit towards the end of the last year.
00:39:15I think the coach is very good, Deshaun Foster.
00:39:18Obviously, you've got the Tennessee guy playing quarterback.
00:39:21Utah, different team on the road.
00:39:23I think UCLA could spring this upset.
00:39:26Inside baseball, that was also my pick and I was asked to pick it.
00:39:29So two of us picked UCLA.
00:39:30That has to be a good sign.
00:39:31All right, Dan, who's yours?
00:39:32I'm going to take Toledo plus 9.5 going to Kentucky.
00:39:36Zach Calzada is somehow still playing college football.
00:39:39God bless him.
00:39:40Unbelievable.
00:39:41He has been in college forever.
00:39:43The A&M quarterback dynasty is impressive.
00:39:45They're playing at five different schools right now.
00:39:47I mean, listen, it's tough.
00:39:49Okay, Brandon, who's your pick?
00:39:50I already said it, Miami Moneyline.
00:39:52I like Miami the most out of the underdogs.
00:39:55Yeah, and like I said, I had UCLA plus at the time 6.5, 5.5,
00:40:00but I was asked to change.
00:40:00I'm just going to go with Texas Moneyline.
00:40:02I believe in it.
00:40:03I know we're all kind of split on these games,
00:40:05but that is the DraftKings Dark Horse host parlay.
00:40:07Thank you, Liam, for writing it up there.
00:40:09The odds right now are plus 14.46 on the app, so go get that.
00:40:13We won it a couple times last year.
00:40:14I think like two or three different times last year.
00:40:15I mean, you win one of those,
00:40:17and you're basically good for the season at those odds.
00:40:19Yeah, if you win this one.
00:40:20So go grab that.
00:40:22Okay, we have a new segment this year, guys.

00:41:06So, Dave, what we've decided to do is it's going to be receipts of the week,
00:41:10whether it's what somebody said that was wrong, was right,
00:41:13what you said, whatever you want this to be,
00:41:15and you are going to start this off for the 2025 season.
00:41:18Can I go second because I'm looking up my receipts?
00:41:21Oh, never mind.
00:41:22I'm good.
00:41:22I'm good.
00:41:24Here we go.
00:41:24Receipts.
00:41:25These are all actual tweets.
00:41:29Real Nevada Buck.
00:41:30NCAA about to hit Michigan with their most severe sanctioned package
00:41:33package since Penn State 2012.
00:41:36Buckle up.
00:41:37Official Ohio State DG.
00:41:39Just talked to someone who used to work at NCAA.
00:41:42He told me there's 0% chance Michigan does not get at least one year postseason ban.
00:41:47They're a repeat offender in such a short amount of time.
00:41:50The official seems no way they are issued failure to monitor and lack of institutional control.
00:41:56Brandon Walker, the death penalty may be the only option for Michigan at this point.
00:42:02We have a sport to protect.
00:42:04Ohio Tate.
00:42:05I hope Michigan fans have enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame.
00:42:08A thousand wins record and national championship will be vacated soon.
00:42:13And on and on and on and on and on we go.
00:42:20The facts are Michigan is appealing this because we did nothing wrong,
00:42:23which we said the entire time.
00:42:25People are mad about trying to take signals, code-breaking part of football.
00:42:31We destroyed Penn State, Ohio State, Alabama, Washington after this thing broke.
00:42:40Then we beat Ohio State and Alabama again the following year.
00:42:45It's been probably the biggest misjudgment of idiots saying Michigan wants to be punished.
00:42:54No, no, no, no.
00:42:55The hammer never fell, and we have the receipts to prove it, and now we can just play football.
00:43:02Brandon?
00:43:03Oh, I stand by mine.
00:43:04I still think they deserve the death penalty.
00:43:06Death penalty?
00:43:07Yeah.
00:43:08Okay.
00:43:09Yeah, I'm fine.
00:43:10I'm good.
00:43:11I don't think Michigan should be appealing this.
00:43:12I think you should just let it go.
00:43:14Well, we did nothing wrong.
00:43:15The fine, I don't care about the fine, but give me a break.
00:43:20Nothing wrong.
00:43:21Not a thing.
00:43:22I didn't think they should get a postseason ban or vacate losses, but a fine is fine.
00:43:26There's also a bunch of recruiting violations.
00:43:28It's monstrous what these whiny Ohio State fans and Buckeye brand tried.
00:43:32You're talking about going to a game and buying tickets and filming on an iPhone?
00:43:38That's like what the issue is?
00:43:40I mean, give me a break.
00:43:42Connor Stallion's asking if he wanted tickets to the Ohio State game was pretty funny.
00:43:46Okay, Dan, your receipts.
00:43:47I think I did this wrong, but I'll just go.
00:43:49So, like a future receipt, because I was just making a take that we'll see.
00:43:54Jeremiah Love is going to have three touchdowns versus Miami on Saturday.
00:43:56Oh, a pre-receipt.
00:43:57Yeah, it's a pre-receipt.
00:43:57You can do that.
00:43:58You can do pre-receipt.
00:43:58Yeah, it's my Heisman pick this year, 25 to 1.
00:44:01So, yeah, I kind of figured because it's – what are you laughing at, Lucas?
00:44:06You are laughing a lot.
00:44:07What the fuck are you laughing at?
00:44:08A pre-receipt was funny.
00:44:10A pre-seat.
00:44:11It is.
00:44:11I hate Lucas.
00:44:13I hate Lucas so goddamn much.
00:44:15He's right in your eye line, too.
00:44:17He's such a piece of shit.
00:44:18All right, it's a pre-receipt.
00:44:20You're going to laugh at that when I say it?
00:44:22I'm just laughing at it.
00:44:23All right.
00:44:25Jeremiah Love is going to have an incredible – I hope he gets the carries.
00:44:27That's really the only worry.
00:44:28He's got to get the requisite carries because he's going to split a little bit.
00:44:32But he is unbelievable.
00:44:34And if Notre Dame is a playoff team, which I think they are,
00:44:38and he has a season, which I think he will have,
00:44:40it's going to be a layup because the writers are going to just go crazy
00:44:43for getting to vote for a Notre Dame player.
00:44:45Well, and also because, I mean, you look at all the love Ashton Jenty got last year
00:44:49playing for Boise State, like the way Jeremiah Love –
00:44:51if he can play the way that it looks like he can, he'll get all the love.
00:44:55Okay.
00:44:55By the way, it's up to interpretation, Dan.
00:44:56If you want to do a pre-receipt every week, you can.
00:44:58No, I'm not going to do it every week.
00:44:59It was more that it's week one, so I don't have anything going into week one.
00:45:03So here it is, and we'll see how it goes.
00:45:06Okay.
00:45:06Brandon?
00:45:07I have sat here at this desk for seven years now,
00:45:12and I have watched the formerly mighty Mississippi State Bulldogs
00:45:17fall into a state of duress after the death of beloved coach Mike Leach.
00:45:22Who you hated when he arrived.
00:45:24Hmm?
00:45:25I didn't speak –
00:45:25You hated when he arrived.
00:45:26I didn't speak during yours.
00:45:28Beloved coach Mike Leach passed away, left us in a bad spot.
00:45:32We went 2-10 last year, and I've watched idiots like Dave Portnoy
00:45:36and people like Dan Katz and Big Ev.
00:45:39Big Ev is really subtle about it, but he shits on Mississippi State more than anybody.
00:45:42I don't shit on you.
00:45:43I said Big Ev does.
00:45:45You said my name, too.
00:45:46I mean, I just was correct.
00:45:47And also, you guys stink.
00:45:48Well, you do – there you go.
00:45:49Now you're on the list.
00:45:51And Casey Smith –
00:45:52I'm sorry, did I speak during – did I speak during Dave's?
00:45:57Am I the only one who didn't speak during everybody else's?
00:45:59You brought us up.
00:46:00I have – I have –
00:46:01You named us directly.
00:46:02Go ahead, Brandon.
00:46:04I have sat here, and I have – all these aspersions have been cast about us,
00:46:08and people have said all these jokes.
00:46:09Our coach died, and now, finally, I was knee-deep all offseason in NIL stuff
00:46:14and getting the roster where it needs to be, and finally, finally, finally,
00:46:18we're back on our way up, and we're going to be – it starts with a big win this week
00:46:22when we beat Arizona State next week.
00:46:23What are you going to say when we beat Arizona State next week?
00:46:26Nothing.
00:46:26Nothing.
00:46:27And I got –
00:46:28You've got to beat Southern Miss.
00:46:28That was my next question.
00:46:30I got all –
00:46:31You don't have to talk!
00:46:32What's your confidence, Peter?
00:46:33You pointed at me!
00:46:34Do I get to talk?
00:46:35You pointed at me!
00:46:35Do I get to talk?
00:46:37He keeps addressing us and then –
00:46:38Shut up again!
00:46:38He looked at me and pointed at me and said, don't talk!
00:46:41I have kept all the receipts, and I know everybody who has stomped on us while we were down,
00:46:46and we're coming back, and I'm coming for everybody.
00:46:49I'm coming for you, and I'm coming for you.
00:46:49I don't think that's the right use of receipts.
00:46:52What did he say?
00:46:53That's not the right use of receipts.
00:46:54That's not the right use of receipts.
00:46:55That's not the right use of receipts.
00:46:55That's not the right use of receipts.
00:46:55You guys did stink.
00:46:57Like, it –
00:46:59No, you're technically doing a pre-seat, too.
00:47:02Time out.
00:47:02Time out.
00:47:02You're doing a pre-seat.
00:47:03Time out.
00:47:04Time out.
00:47:04Time out.
00:47:05If over the last five years, everybody has said, you guys suck and you're terrible,
00:47:10and then when we're not terrible, I don't say the receipts aren't valid.
00:47:12I'm just going to go back and use them for when we get good.
00:47:14You're doing a pre-seat.
00:47:16That's not a pre-seat.
00:47:16Yes, it is.
00:47:17You haven't gotten good yet.
00:47:18We're good now.
00:47:18You have to agree we're good.
00:47:19You're basically saying you've got to get good.
00:47:21We're better.
00:47:22Yeah, but nobody said you stink this year yet.
00:47:24That is true.
00:47:25Dave, you didn't say anything about the pre-seat over here.
00:47:27Now you're talking about my receipt.
00:47:28You're doing a pre-seat.
00:47:29You are literally doing a pre-seat.
00:47:31Brandon, when –
00:47:32You are.
00:47:32Well, I like pre-seipts better.
00:47:33It's with one.
00:47:33It's with one.
00:47:34Good job.
00:47:35Pre-seat.
00:47:35Time pre-seat.
00:47:36When people –
00:47:37Shut the fuck up, Lucas.
00:47:40When people said you guys sucked, did you suck?
00:47:44That doesn't matter.
00:47:45It does matter.
00:47:46That doesn't matter.
00:47:46I had to sit here.
00:47:47We had to go out a stupid ass up.
00:47:49I'm going to bail out my good friend Brandon Walker.
00:47:51I don't even bail out.
00:47:51You ready for this?
00:47:53You ready for this?
00:47:54Mississippi State will never be good again in football for the rest of our lives.
00:48:00There you go.
00:48:00I just handed that to you.
00:48:01So when you guys are good, use that.
00:48:04We're 1-0 all time against Michigan.
00:48:05And it would be a shame if you never got good again.
00:48:08We're 3-1 all time against Wisconsin.
00:48:10We're 6-0.
00:48:11What do we play in the 20s?
00:48:12We're 6-0 all time against Ohio State.
00:48:14These are all fake numbers.
00:48:15Don't let these numbers out.
00:48:16Yeah.
00:48:17I was like, have we even played?
00:48:18We've never played.
00:48:19Yeah.
00:48:20But you are high on them this year, and that's exciting.
00:48:22We are 1-0 against Michigan all time.
00:48:23Oh, that's sick.
00:48:24Do you know ours?
00:48:25Huh?
00:48:26Do you know ours?
00:48:26You're up by one.
00:48:27Oh, okay.
00:48:28I don't know if that's true or not, but I'll –
00:48:30So you went and looked those up to see?
00:48:33No.
00:48:33I knew the Michigan one because we don't –
00:48:35No, I know, but did you like, have we ever played Wisconsin?
00:48:37No, I just – I don't know if we played Wisconsin or not.
00:48:39I just lied.
00:48:40I was just lying.
00:48:40So you have a pre-seat.
00:48:42Yeah.
00:48:42But you're excited.
00:48:43I'm excited.
00:48:43What's your confidence meter this weekend against –
00:48:45Like three and a half.
00:48:46Southern Mississippi.
00:48:47Mm-hmm.
00:48:49I'm more confident we beat Arizona State in week two
00:48:51than I am we beat Southern Michigan week one on the road.
00:48:53Okay, so mine is a receipt from – and we kind of talked about it a little bit
00:48:58with Thomas Castellanos.
00:49:00He's talking way too much shit about Alabama.
00:49:03You never played?
00:49:04We've never played.
00:49:04That's sad.
00:49:05I knew that.
00:49:05No, I know, I know.
00:49:06I'm just confirming.
00:49:07All right.
00:49:07Way too much shit about Alabama, and I understand, like, people like it,
00:49:12but it's like they don't have Nick Saban to save them.
00:49:14They can't stop me.
00:49:15I think that's a lot of bulletin board material for Alabama.
00:49:18It's never going to do that.
00:49:19So that's my actual receipt.
00:49:20I would like to add in a pre-seat, since that's now what we're doing.
00:49:23Oh, so you just did a pre-seat, though.
00:49:24That's not a pre-seat?
00:49:25No, that's –
00:49:25He actually said that.
00:49:27That's a receipt.
00:49:29But you're saying –
00:49:29They don't have Nick Saban to save them, do they?
00:49:32Do they?
00:49:32But it's not a receipt until they lose, right?
00:49:35Yeah, that's true.
00:49:36That's also a pre-seat.
00:49:37Fuck.
00:49:37It's a pre-seat.
00:49:38Dave, the only one that got this right.
00:49:40Yeah.
00:49:40Correct.
00:49:41No, it's hard to do week one.
00:49:42Think of that shit.
00:49:42No, no, no.
00:49:43It's hard to do week one.
00:49:44No, but I – he's already said it.
00:49:45Mine was pretty dead on.
00:49:47I had receipts.
00:49:48That's true.
00:49:49No, this is not – yeah, that's a pre-seat.
00:49:50Okay, so after Alabama kills them, then I can say this was a receipt.
00:49:53Correct, yes.
00:49:54Okay, well, can I add another pre-seat?
00:49:55You can do whatever you want.
00:49:56A&M's going to the playoff this year.
00:49:58Okay.
00:49:58A&M's going to the playoff this year.
00:49:59That's a guarantee.
00:50:00That's not a –
00:50:01It's a guarantee?
00:50:02That's a prediction.
00:50:02That's not a receipt.
00:50:03You said it.
00:50:04Guarantee.
00:50:04It's not a receipt.
00:50:05Okay, Ev, what is your receipt?
00:50:08Well, I mean, we were talking receipts earlier in the show.
00:50:10I'm still waiting on those receipts from Dave.
00:50:12Unfortunately, he doesn't have any.
00:50:13He even brought up Ohio State receipts.
00:50:14None were mine.
00:50:15But I've got some receipts on him.
00:50:16He said the game didn't matter.
00:50:18Or he said the game didn't matter before the season.
00:50:19Now it made it his whole personality after the season.
00:50:22Jake, roll the clip, please.
00:50:23Does the game mean anything?
00:50:24No.
00:50:25It doesn't even matter.
00:50:26That's the biggest thing.
00:50:27We don't spoil their season if we win.
00:50:30Like, it's not a big game to me.
00:50:32They're in the playoffs.
00:50:34It doesn't matter.
00:50:35So you guys all think this is a big one?
00:50:37Okay.
00:50:38This is going to be a footnote in the history of this rivalry.
00:50:43Like, no one will remember this one.
00:50:44Do that and then just be like, oh, but if we lose, it doesn't matter.
00:50:47Oh, damn.
00:50:48If Michigan beats Ohio State, there's zero chance that you are not talking about it.
00:50:53It's always sweeping.
00:50:54Word doesn't mean anything.
00:50:55It doesn't matter.
00:50:56It will always matter.
00:50:58Well, that's the dumbest thing that someone can say.
00:51:01Oh, brilliant.
00:51:01Receipts.
00:51:02You want to talk receipts?
00:51:03Can we pull up a picture of a possum?
00:51:06Oh, God.
00:51:07I mean, how dumb are you, Big Ev?
00:51:11Just lull them to sleep.
00:51:13Of course it matters.
00:51:14We're 20-point favorites.
00:51:17I was playing possum.
00:51:17I'm just going off what you said, Dave.
00:51:18You guys are so dumb.
00:51:19I'm just going off what you said.
00:51:20Of course it mattered.
00:51:21You were 20-point favorites.
00:51:23I didn't think we had a snowball shot in hell going into that game.
00:51:28And nobody else did.
00:51:29But of course it always matters.
00:51:31You quit on your team.
00:51:32We didn't stream it.
00:51:33We didn't go to the game and do a show.
00:51:35I was just lull him to sleep, fat boy.
00:51:39Quit.
00:51:40Liar.
00:51:41Receipts.
00:51:42Receipts.
00:51:43Those were receipts.
00:51:43You can do your little spin all you want.
00:51:45It didn't matter.
00:51:46Maybe your whole personality after.
00:51:48Awesome.
00:51:49I mean, it is crazy, Dave, that in that clip, because I remember when it happened when I
00:51:52said, if Michigan beats Ohio State, you'll never talk about it again.
00:51:54Hand to God, he said.
00:51:56You said to God.
00:51:56I haven't heard him talk about it.
00:52:00You did say you'd never talk about it again.
00:52:03He's a fraud.
00:52:05No, it's like you've got to make, have you ever seen the movie Gladiator to make him think,
00:52:09not the one with Russell Crowe, the boxing.
00:52:11Make him think you're weak where you're strong and strong where you're weak.
00:52:14The top of the head is the hardest part of the body.
00:52:17I was just lulling these morons to sleep.
00:52:20Hey, you don't have to throw the ball.
00:52:22You can just try to run it between the tackles with our two top ten picks sitting there.
00:52:26And they fell into the trap, and it worked perfectly.
00:52:29Yeah, fell right into that national championship trap.
00:52:32Right into it.
00:52:33I could care less about that.
00:52:35You know it.
00:52:36But that's what you said about the game on the first one.
00:52:37Yes, exactly.
00:52:40Fraud.
00:52:41No.
00:52:41Fraud.
00:52:43Again, the proof is unputting.
00:52:45Exactly.
00:52:46You're full of shit.
00:52:47The proof is unputting.
00:52:48You are full of shit.
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:51Receipts.
00:52:52I know the assignment.
00:52:53I feel like the receipts are going to get, like, more hostile throughout the season.
00:52:56Yeah, it's going to get rough.
00:52:57It's going to get rough for some people.
00:52:59Okay, Dan, it is time for Proper Picks presented by Proper Number 12 Irish Whiskey.
00:53:04Yes.
00:53:04They're back.
00:53:05Okay.
00:53:06Irish Entrance.
00:53:07I'm making my Irish entrance into college football season.
00:53:11It is week one with Proper Number 12 Irish Whiskey.
00:53:14How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?
00:53:16Well, it starts the shot of Proper Number 12.
00:53:18Look at this right here.
00:53:20I got my beautiful Proper Number 12 whiskey right here.
00:53:22Because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party or a tailgate without a story to tell.
00:53:28So, here is my Irish entrance.
00:53:30Original Proper Number 12 is rich and smooth blend of golden grain and single malt age four years in bourbon barrels.
00:53:38Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.
00:53:43In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter?
00:53:45Try Proper Irish Apple, a delicious blend of Proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.
00:53:52So, get out there.
00:53:53Make your Irish entrance into the college football season.
00:53:56Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
00:53:58Make your Irish entrance with Proper Number 12 Irish whiskey.
00:54:01Okay.
00:54:01Here we go.
00:54:02Cheers.
00:54:02Cheers to a great football season.
00:54:04Cheers.
00:54:04Everyone, let's have a great football season.
00:54:08Mmm.
00:54:09That is delicious.
00:54:10And guess what?
00:54:11This season, the winner of the Proper Picks segment, all of us making our Proper Picks, will win $15,000 to a charity of their choosing.
00:54:20Thanks to Proper Number 12.
00:54:21So, that's awesome.
00:54:23Dave's doing Lifeline Animal Shelter.
00:54:24I'm doing Pause Chicago.
00:54:26Casey's doing the V Foundation.
00:54:28Big Ev is doing St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
00:54:31And Brandon's doing ISIS.
00:54:32That's not.
00:54:34Damn, Brandon.
00:54:35Brandon, what the fuck?
00:54:35Oh, my bad.
00:54:36Brandon's doing St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
00:54:38Oh, okay.
00:54:39Good.
00:54:39That was my bad.
00:54:39I read that wrong, dude.
00:54:40I'm sorry.
00:54:41Thank God.
00:54:42I just don't think it says ISIS anywhere on the sheet.
00:54:43Yeah, I don't know.
00:54:44You might have written it down.
00:54:45It's early in the morning.
00:54:45I'm sorry.
00:54:46You might have written it down.
00:54:46Just had a shot.
00:54:47I love my Proper Number 12.
00:54:48Okay.
00:54:48Yeah, we're running the charities back.
00:54:50Last year, I did win for the V Foundation, the pediatric cancer.
00:54:54So, we're running it back again.
00:54:55So, Dan, you start it off.
00:54:56Okay.
00:54:56Here's your proper pick, week number one.
00:54:58All right, my proper pick, week number one.
00:55:00This is, you kind of sniff it out, try to figure out what are these, we got big Power Four conferences
00:55:07going against the small guys.
00:55:08There's going to be a couple of these games that are close.
00:55:10You're like, whoa, how'd this happen?
00:55:13And that's going to happen in Lexington, Kentucky with Toledo plus nine and a half.
00:55:17Toledo did win last year in Starkville.
00:55:20They're not as scared.
00:55:21You can just double up on picks this year.
00:55:24Yeah, I could.
00:55:24Why can't I double up?
00:55:27I don't know.
00:55:28It's a different segment.
00:55:30Yeah, I realized that I like Toledo a lot, and I didn't give a real explanation for it in the dark horse parlay.
00:55:35I just said the number.
00:55:36Can I not?
00:55:38I don't think we doubled up last year.
00:55:40I think you did two picks.
00:55:41I did two picks.
00:55:42We always have done two picks.
00:55:43God damn it.
00:55:43Well, I like the game.
00:55:44All right.
00:55:45I'm going to cede my proper number 12 pick to Brandon, and I'll be back with my proper number 12 pick
00:55:50after everyone else makes their proper number 12 pick, thanks to proper number 12.
00:55:54I'm going to lead off this proper number 12 pick segment, and I am going to take a game
00:56:00we did talk about, but it wasn't used in my other segment because I used Miami for that
00:56:04one.
00:56:05This one, I'm using Virginia Tech plus seven and a half against South Carolina.
00:56:09Wait, what'd you pick in that game?
00:56:10What do you mean?
00:56:11When we picked earlier.
00:56:12I'll pick Virginia.
00:56:13No, you can pick that.
00:56:14You just can't do the parlay.
00:56:15We have two.
00:56:16We have the parlay, and then we have this.
00:56:17All right, I got it.
00:56:17I got it.
00:56:18Now we're all just making rules.
00:56:19Okay, got it.
00:56:19No, no, no.
00:56:20These are like specific.
00:56:20Those rules have been pretty standard.
00:56:21I've read the bylaws this morning to make sure nothing says that.
00:56:26I got Virginia Tech plus seven and a half against South Carolina.
00:56:29I have South Carolina minus seven and a half for my proper pick.
00:56:31Oh, wow.
00:56:32Pick off.
00:56:33I do.
00:56:33Pick off.
00:56:33I do.
00:56:34I do.
00:56:34And I said it earlier.
00:56:36Not only do I believe in Lenore Sellers, and I understand their defense lost a lot.
00:56:39I like Dylan Stewart.
00:56:40I just don't believe in Virginia Tech at all.
00:56:43And I did go 11-4-1 last year, Brandon.
00:56:46So I'm feeling good about that.
00:56:47Okay.
00:56:47I didn't doubt you.
00:56:49Well, no.
00:56:49How do you like that?
00:56:50Yeah.
00:56:50You would have brought that up if you won anything.
00:56:52I didn't question you.
00:56:53I said you like that.
00:56:54Look down to my seat.
00:56:55You like that.
00:56:55Okay.
00:56:56Dave, who's your proper pick?
00:56:57I'm taking Cincinnati at home plus six and a half against Nebraska.
00:57:01I think that's a close game.
00:57:03That's being played in like two hours.
00:57:05Are we going to do Thursday games now?
00:57:06Also, it's an Arrowhead.
00:57:07Friday game, isn't it?
00:57:08It's tonight.
00:57:08It's an Arrowhead.
00:57:09It's an Arrowhead.
00:57:11I think he can take it tonight.
00:57:13It hasn't played yet.
00:57:14I thought it was Friday.
00:57:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:57:16I thought it was a Friday game.
00:57:17The show will be out.
00:57:18Dave, the show will be out by then.
00:57:19Guys.
00:57:20Keep it.
00:57:21Y'all got to look at the fucking rules, man.
00:57:22We got to look at the bylaws.
00:57:24I read the bylaws.
00:57:24Well, I mean, last year there was a whole melee because I picked a game that was going
00:57:27on, but I picked it the night before.
00:57:28So it's like.
00:57:29Oh, no, you picked it.
00:57:30Like, what the fuck?
00:57:30You picked over 11 o'clock.
00:57:32No, I didn't.
00:57:32This game is tonight, not Friday.
00:57:34It's tonight.
00:57:34No, but this show comes out tonight.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:36What time?
00:57:36What time does the show come out, Jake?
00:57:38Jake.
00:57:39Or Stefan?
00:57:40Seven.
00:57:40Comes out at seven.
00:57:41The game's at seven.
00:57:43No, game's at nine.
00:57:44Game's at nine.
00:57:45Game's at nine.
00:57:45This show comes out two hours before.
00:57:47Fine, fine, fine.
00:57:48I'm going to take it.
00:57:49No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:50You take it.
00:57:51You take it.
00:57:51You take it.
00:57:52Take whatever you want.
00:57:53Take whatever you want.
00:57:54The show will be out.
00:57:55This is also, we're doing it super early Thursday morning.
00:57:57It is on record.
00:57:58I believe that he's allowed to keep that one.
00:58:00Are we all in?
00:58:01Sure.
00:58:01Yeah, let's just change the rules for Dave.
00:58:03It's not changing the rules.
00:58:04The game hasn't happened.
00:58:05I'm fine with Dave taking it.
00:58:07I'm also fine with Dave taking it.
00:58:08Okay.
00:58:08Big Ev, who's your proper pick?
00:58:10Yeah, mine's Friday night.
00:58:11I'm on the Auburn-Baylor over.
00:58:13Probably the biggest game we didn't talk about.
00:58:14I love this over.
00:58:17Baylor's offense is going to be incredible.
00:58:18Sawyer Robinson brought back all the running backs, receivers.
00:58:21And on the other side, Auburn, I mean, Jackson Arnold, I think, is going to be a big
00:58:25upgrade for what they had last year.
00:58:26Quarterback situation was brutal last year.
00:58:28Cam Coleman, Singleton from Georgia Tech.
00:58:30Both going to be very explosive offensively.
00:58:32And I don't like Baylor's defense a lot.
00:58:34So, I think super high-scoring game.
00:58:35I love this over.
00:58:36Favorite play of the weekend.
00:58:38All right, follow my game.
00:58:39I'm taking Southern Miss plus 13 and a half, whoever they're playing.
00:58:44You're such a dick, man.
00:58:47You're such a dick.
00:58:47We can both win.
00:58:48We can both win.
00:58:49Why would you do that?
00:58:50We can both win.
00:58:51Just because I'm the one that pointed out that you –
00:58:53We can both win.
00:58:54Right?
00:58:55I don't care.
00:58:56I don't even care.
00:58:56Technically, you'll have a receipt if he's wrong.
00:59:01He's just doing it.
00:59:02All right, I'll take – I'm going to take Wisconsin, Miami, Ohio over 40 and a half.
00:59:05That game plays at 8 o'clock tonight because Dave made the precedent.
00:59:08We'll do that.
00:59:09Over 40 and a half.
00:59:10Dan, I have a question for you.
00:59:11We had this debate with T-Bob on unnecessary roughness.
00:59:13Do you like when Wisconsin opens up with a cupcake or no?
00:59:16I love it.
00:59:17If I were a coach, I would open with six straight cupcakes.
00:59:20I would be eating cupcakes after cupcakes after cupcakes and I'd be like,
00:59:25hey, I won six games this year.
00:59:27And they're like, hey, four of them were cupcakes.
00:59:29I don't give a fuck.
00:59:29They tasted delicious.
00:59:30Yeah.
00:59:31I said that I don't like when the SEC plays the cupcakes in November,
00:59:35but to open the season, I'd take a cupcake.
00:59:36Yeah, November's awkward.
00:59:37You've got to – September is supposed to be –
00:59:40you're supposed to play like one kind of tough game
00:59:42and then three games that you can guaranteed win.
00:59:44I want to win week one 65-7.
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:46You don't want to go into week one worried you might lose.
00:59:47No.
00:59:48No, I'm the same way.
00:59:49Okay, everybody put their proper pick in, right?
00:59:52Yep.
00:59:52Yes.
00:59:53Wisconsin, Miami, Ohio, over 40 and a half.
00:59:55Okay, Brandon, I know we are all very excited about this new sponsor,
00:59:59and this means you're going to get to eat.
01:00:00So go get you a Reese's.
01:00:01Go get you a Reese's, okay?
01:00:03With the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter,
01:00:05there's nothing like a Reese's peanut butter cup.
01:00:08My favorite candy of all time.
01:00:09And I love them in any shape, any sizes.
01:00:12And they have the dark chocolate.
01:00:13Brandon, why don't you take a nice bite for the people at home?
01:00:16I'm going to.
01:00:17I know you are.
01:00:18Nice breakfast you got going.
01:00:19First, Casey, so then I can shower and catch my plane.
01:00:21Yes, you can.
01:00:23Go ahead.
01:00:24I'll let them eat.
01:00:25Okay.
01:00:26Got it.
01:00:28My dynamic duo?
01:00:30Yeah.
01:00:32It's got to be Belichick and Jordan.
01:00:34Don, we got to see what's happening with their first game of the season.
01:00:38Anything's on the table.
01:00:40Anything's on the table.
01:00:41She could be on the sideline.
01:00:42She could have a headset on.
01:00:43She could be in the crowd.
01:00:46UNC could win by 40.
01:00:48They could look disheveled.
01:00:50Who fucking knows?
01:00:51I can't wait to watch this game.
01:00:53It's a solo game.
01:00:54Obviously, I follow Belichick's career more than maybe anybody.
01:01:00I said I would die for Belichick.
01:01:02Still would.
01:01:03So, you want to talk dynamic duos.
01:01:05Maybe there is no bigger dynamic duo than these two right now.
01:01:09So, I can't wait to see what happens.
01:01:12Dave, what do you think about her trying, or I guess them, trying to trademark Gold Digger?
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18She's a big fan of Taylor Swift, who's a big trademark.
01:01:22Listen, I can't pretend to understand anything Jordan is doing, but it's a funny trademark.
01:01:30I don't know how she's going to get it.
01:01:32That seems like something that's probably, I mean, been trademarked.
01:01:35Yeah, that's hard to get.
01:01:35And I know you hate Kanye.
01:01:37I mean, Kanye has a very famous song called Gold Digger, so I don't know how that's going to work out.
01:01:40Yeah, I do hate him.
01:01:41I know you do.
01:01:42Okay, so go catch your plane.
01:01:43Go have, so you are going to be in Columbus today.
01:01:47I'm going to Columbus.
01:01:47And by the way, I love the people at Columbus.
01:01:49If it wasn't for their football team or LeBron, we'd be fast friends.
01:01:54So, I don't think a lot of people in Columbus really give a fuck.
01:01:59They love the rivalry.
01:02:00Like, I saw A.J. Hawk talk.
01:02:02He's like, this is a rivalry.
01:02:03We're not weak links.
01:02:04The school and Ryan Day and Ross Bjork made us all look bad.
01:02:08And he's right.
01:02:09And if Ev would just say that, me and Ev would be fast friends.
01:02:13I consider us fast friends, Dave.
01:02:16They gave you the boot.
01:02:17I'm sorry.
01:02:17It wasn't my call.
01:02:18Neither of you were fast.
01:02:20Whose call was it?
01:02:22I saw the higher-ups.
01:02:23I don't know exactly who made the call.
01:02:25I wasn't in the room.
01:02:26I wish we were there.
01:02:27I obviously wish we were there.
01:02:28I'd love to be there accepting the national championship trophy.
01:02:31I would love to be there.
01:02:32And I would like to see you accept it.
01:02:35You deserve that.
01:02:36I appreciate that.
01:02:38See, look at us breaking bread.
01:02:39All right.
01:02:40See you guys.
01:02:41See you.
01:02:41Bye, Dave.
01:02:42Okay.
01:02:43Dan, your dynamic duo.
01:02:44My dynamic duo is Dylan Rayola and Patrick Mahomes because these guys can't quit each other.
01:02:51And when I say that, I really mean Dylan Rayola is just a stalker.
01:02:54He said, I can't get mad at God for making me look like him.
01:02:58Mm-hmm.
01:03:00Dude.
01:03:00Also, where's his number?
01:03:02And where's his big man?
01:03:02Where's his number?
01:03:04Has his haircut?
01:03:05Wears his glasses.
01:03:06Does his pregame warm-up?
01:03:08Does his huddle thing before every play gets called in?
01:03:13God didn't make you like this.
01:03:15You have made yourself Patrick Mahomes.
01:03:18Doesn't gut it.
01:03:19He tried to say you had the haircut first.
01:03:20Doesn't gut it.
01:03:21And his teammates were like, yeah, you did.
01:03:23I know you did.
01:03:23I know he's good.
01:03:25Like, had a decent season for a freshman last year.
01:03:27But this is very much in the camp of we'll never gut it and I'll never believe in him.
01:03:31The way that Liam just, like, blurted out laughing just now.
01:03:35Yeah, it's crazy.
01:03:36I mean, I'm all in on this, too.
01:03:38He's my player to watch this week because he's playing on the same ground.
01:03:42Oh, my God.
01:03:42I didn't even think about that.
01:03:44Yeah.
01:03:44Like, this is the biggest game of his life.
01:03:47And I hope he throws three interceptions.
01:03:49Yeah.
01:03:49He's going to ask to, like, visit his locker and stuff.
01:03:51Oh, man.
01:03:52It's going to be disgusting.
01:03:53I can't wait to tweet out that he's walking onto the field doing the Mahomes thing and just meme him to death.
01:03:59Yep.
01:04:00Yep.
01:04:00Agreed.
01:04:00I love that, Liam.
01:04:01Okay, Brandon, your dynamic duo.
01:04:03Mine is very simple.
01:04:05This week looks like an elite.
01:04:07The way it is stacked up, the way you start at 11 a.m. Central time and you go all the way through the night,
01:04:12there's an elite game at the early window, the mid window, and the late window.
01:04:16It's me in my recliner because Saturday, we don't have to go to Columbus, Ohio.
01:04:20It's me sitting there for 12 hours and just taking it all in.
01:04:24And I have kind of been circling my recliner for a couple of months just looking at it like, you know.
01:04:28Are you ready?
01:04:29I'm waiting for something.
01:04:31And soon, and it's here this Saturday, it's just me watching college football for 12 hours and being in bliss.
01:04:37And not have to worry about your team losing, right?
01:04:40What are y'all doing?
01:04:41I'm asking you.
01:04:43Why are y'all doing this?
01:04:45I haven't said anything about A&M losing to UTSA.
01:04:47They're not going to.
01:04:47I haven't said anything about Wisconsin losing to who they're playing.
01:04:50They play on Thursday.
01:04:51I haven't said anything about Ohio State losing to Texas.
01:04:53You ticked Texas.
01:04:54Yeah, I did say something about that one.
01:04:56Yeah, you picked the UTSA.
01:04:56I think that you shouldn't be as worried as you are.
01:04:59I'm not worried.
01:04:59I'm trying to give you confidence.
01:05:00I just told you I'm going to be relaxed.
01:05:02By the way, bad break for Ohio State and Texas being at the same time as Mississippi State and Southern Miss.
01:05:06I got a question.
01:05:07Yeah, oh boy.
01:05:09Recliner, love that.
01:05:10That's going to be great.
01:05:11Sure.
01:05:12You bought my TV.
01:05:13How many TVs do you have right now?
01:05:15Have you upgraded and gotten a couple more?
01:05:18Not in that.
01:05:19I have one TV right there.
01:05:21Get ready for football, man.
01:05:22I'm ready for football.
01:05:23You need a couple more TVs.
01:05:25You know you do.
01:05:26Just a small one.
01:05:27A small one to look at.
01:05:28I got kids.
01:05:29I know, a small one to look at.
01:05:31I got bills, man.
01:05:31Do you bring out your laptop at least?
01:05:33Huh?
01:05:33If I have to, yeah.
01:05:35It's always on standby.
01:05:36Okay.
01:05:36And you can watch the quad box.
01:05:38Yeah, no, I get that.
01:05:39But just, you know.
01:05:40I have a gigantic TV.
01:05:42I know.
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:43You only have one?
01:05:44He only has one.
01:05:45Oh, crazy.
01:05:45Come on.
01:05:46Well, you're watching Southern Mississippi State.
01:05:50That's what I said.
01:05:51Yeah.
01:05:52You're going to miss Ohio State, Texas.
01:05:54And you're...
01:05:55No, he's going to...
01:05:55Oh, he has the quad box.
01:05:56How does he whisper?
01:05:57I don't know.
01:05:58All right.
01:05:58He's not going to watch the quad box.
01:06:00Let's just get you one more.
01:06:03I'll get one more.
01:06:04Just one more.
01:06:04Just put it on the side.
01:06:05Wait, do you...
01:06:06You still watch the quad box even if Mississippi State's playing, right?
01:06:09No.
01:06:10Oh, so you aren't watching Texas, Ohio State.
01:06:12I don't know what I'll do about Texas, Ohio State.
01:06:14I might buy it this afternoon.
01:06:16There you go.
01:06:16There you go.
01:06:17I might go buy another one.
01:06:17Love that.
01:06:18Just throw it on the ground.
01:06:18I do understand that.
01:06:19I usually, if there's a big game, I mean, A&M, but I have to watch LSU-Clemson.
01:06:23Like, what am I going to do?
01:06:24They're playing UTSA at night.
01:06:25You can't miss Ohio State-Texas.
01:06:27You got to understand that Mississippi State-Southern Miss is the most important game at 11 a.m.
01:06:31on Saturday to me.
01:06:32That's a fact.
01:06:33But you're the number one college football personnel.
01:06:35You got to have eyes on it.
01:06:36Why are you hollering?
01:06:37I'm being real.
01:06:38You got to watch Syracuse-Tennessee, too?
01:06:41Oh, Syracuse-Tennessee.
01:06:42You forgot about that.
01:06:4217-year-old Demetrius Samuel.
01:06:44All right, relax.
01:06:46Syracuse-speaking in that game.
01:06:48Okay, what's your...
01:06:48No, your duo, dynamic duo.
01:06:51My duo is the Ohio State Buckeyes in a national championship.
01:06:55The only college football program to win a national championship in every level of college football.
01:07:01The 12-team playoff, the 14-team playoff, BCS, you name them, we've won national title.
01:07:06It's a great duo.
01:07:06Great team.
01:07:07Is that true?
01:07:07Is that the only team that's done that?
01:07:09Well, I mean, there's only one year of the 12th.
01:07:11Yes, it does.
01:07:11It does.
01:07:12It does.
01:07:12No, but Brandon and I both looked, but I guess that is a good point.
01:07:15It is a fact.
01:07:16Yeah.
01:07:17I think it's got...
01:07:18One of all.
01:07:19It's actually not a good point.
01:07:20It's literally just a statistical, like, hey, being a anomaly.
01:07:22Anomaly won, yeah.
01:07:24Because it's only been...
01:07:25Yeah, okay.
01:07:25BCS, 14 playoff, 12-team, won them all.
01:07:28Okay.
01:07:29Before that, before BCS.
01:07:29BCS was just because of a pass interference call that came way too late.
01:07:33I mean, did we win the game or not?
01:07:34You shouldn't have.
01:07:35We won.
01:07:37I know this is not...
01:07:38I guess not...
01:07:38It is a dynamic duo.
01:07:39So, Clemson, LSU, the Battle of Death Valley.
01:07:42I know that this is, like, probably a tired argument, but, like, do we just have this argument
01:07:46for the rest of time who the real Death Valley is?
01:07:49Why don't we just make this game for it?
01:07:51I just...
01:07:52It's LSU.
01:07:52It is LSU.
01:07:53It is LSU.
01:07:53Of course it is.
01:07:54But, like, Clemson fans...
01:07:55I don't think we're having the argument.
01:07:56I think Clemson's having the argument.
01:07:57Technically, Clemson did have it first.
01:07:59But they're not as good.
01:08:00Don't care.
01:08:00It's not as good.
01:08:01I've been to LSU.
01:08:02I've been to Clemson.
01:08:03I think it's Death Valley, yeah.
01:08:03It's not even close.
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:04I mean, do LSU fans even, like, try to argue it?
01:08:06They're just like, no, it's ours, right?
01:08:07Yeah, LSU fans are going to argue.
01:08:09They're not going to...
01:08:10It's...
01:08:11It is LSU.
01:08:12I mean, LSU is Death Valley, but anyways.
01:08:14Okay, Sonic top 10.
01:08:16And Blutman is going to come in and surprise us.
01:08:19Surprise Brandon and Dan with some Sonic.
01:08:22Football fans deserve a better burger.
01:08:24The Sonic Smasher is made with two Angus beef seasoned patties smashed and seared,
01:08:28crispy on the edges, and juicy in the middle.
01:08:30Then it's layered with two slices of melty American cheese,
01:08:33a signature creamy and tangy Smasher sauce,
01:08:36crinkle-cut pickles, diced onions,
01:08:38and served on a pillowy soft potato bun.
01:08:41The Sonic Smasher, melty, juicy, yet crispy.
01:08:44The perfect burger bite.
01:08:47I love Sonic so good.
01:08:47Look at those moans.
01:08:49Hear those moans, boys.
01:08:51They're so good.
01:08:52I love Sonic so much.
01:08:53Oh, and the Smasher.
01:08:54So, we did a commercial,
01:08:56and I know you guys talked a little bit about on the Yak afterwards, Dan.
01:08:59Watching Brandon get to eat, like, 17 burgers in a row for Sonic was just a sight.
01:09:04They just had stunt, not stunt burgers, because they were real burgers,
01:09:07but burgers just, like, he took a bite, and they're like,
01:09:09new burger, took a bite, new burger.
01:09:11It was...
01:09:12He had died and gone to heaven.
01:09:13When we used to fly out of Teterboro, we would make a detour to go to Sonic.
01:09:17Correct.
01:09:17This man loves his Sonic.
01:09:18So, they are sponsoring the top 10 this year.
01:09:20Obviously, when the football, or the college football playoff rankings comes out,
01:09:24it will go to top 12.
01:09:25It is our consensus.
01:09:26It's the Barstool College Football Show's consensus top 10.
01:09:29So, let's reveal it here.
01:09:31Ohio State, Texas, Penn State, Clemson, Georgia, Oregon, Alabama, Notre Dame, LSU, Miami.
01:09:37Any qualms?
01:09:38No qualms.
01:09:39No qualms.
01:09:39I mean, I don't believe in preseason rankings.
01:09:42I wish they didn't do it.
01:09:43I wish they didn't even rank until the fourth week.
01:09:46I know you got to do it for TV.
01:09:47I disagree with that take, but, you know, preseason rankings are guesses.
01:09:51This looks fine as anything, I guess.
01:09:53Yeah, and I mean, in ours, so it's the coaches...
01:09:55My national champ is number three on that list.
01:09:57My national champ is four.
01:09:58My national champ is seven.
01:10:01Wow.
01:10:01Oh, wow.
01:10:02You're taking Alabama.
01:10:04Yeah, take one.
01:10:04Back to back.
01:10:05And do we know who Dave took?
01:10:08Did he say it on Pickham?
01:10:09Who he's taking?
01:10:09His national champ's not on this.
01:10:11Yeah.
01:10:11He's definitely taking Michigan.
01:10:12Yeah, okay.
01:10:13All right, I assumed.
01:10:14I didn't know if he was going to try to walk it back.
01:10:16I know he believes in West Underwood.
01:10:18The coaches poll and our poll, number one, two matchup this weekend.
01:10:22Love it.
01:10:23Pretty exciting.
01:10:23Love it.
01:10:24All right, next week.
01:10:25So what's that?
01:10:27Isn't that the same thing?
01:10:29Is it the AP?
01:10:30It must be the AP.
01:10:31Oh, that's the AP.
01:10:31That's the AP.
01:10:32Yeah, okay.
01:10:33Yes, that's the AP.
01:10:34Because that got confusing.
01:10:36So, yeah, that's the Sonic top ten, the AP poll.
01:10:39This is the Sonic top ten of the college football show poll.
01:10:41Fair enough.
01:10:42What's that?
01:10:49At least I thought you were hitting me.
01:10:50No, I was taking your Sonic.
01:10:51So, as we discussed at length at the beginning of the show, we are not in Columbus, but that
01:10:56means, Brandon, we are going to Ames for Iowa, Iowa State.
01:11:00Oh, this is actually a good spot for you, Brandon.
01:11:02Hey, I am central.
01:11:03I can't wait.
01:11:04I've been wanting to meet Ames, Iowa for six years now.
01:11:07And do you think that they will be even extra nice because of what happened?
01:11:12Yeah, you have to be.
01:11:13I think they're not going to care, but I will be mean to Iowa.
01:11:16I can promise you that.
01:11:17Please don't let us get hit.
01:11:18I mean, I'm not pregnant this time around.
01:11:19They're not going to do it there.
01:11:20Let's not throw cans.
01:11:21They're not going to do it there.
01:11:22Okay.
01:11:22All right.
01:11:22All right.
01:11:23They're going to love you're mean to Iowa.
01:11:24Yeah.
01:11:25I'm going to love it.
01:11:25We can't put a restrictor on this guy.
01:11:28He's got to do what he's got to share.
01:11:29What do you want to say next week?
01:11:29Well, yeah, I'm just saying.
01:11:31The one time that we've done a show in the state of –
01:11:33The language is going to be –
01:11:34That's fine.
01:11:34No, that's fine.
01:11:35No, we're good.
01:11:36All right.
01:11:36The language is fine.
01:11:37Okay, good.
01:11:38Good, good, good.
01:11:38We're on our regular channel.
01:11:39Okay, good.
01:11:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:11:41The one stage that we've done this show for however many years that we've gotten things
01:11:45thrown at us did happen in the state of Iowa.
01:11:48Dave got some stuff thrown at him in East Lansing, but yeah.
01:11:51But full beer cans.
01:11:52Yeah.
01:11:53Yeah, yeah.
01:11:53Okay.
01:11:54Well, we will be there 8 a.m.
01:11:55Ryman Plaza.
01:11:56It's just south of the stadium between lots.
01:11:58S2 and S3.
01:11:59Obviously, we'll be right next to Big Noon Kickoff, so you can't miss us.
01:12:02We'll be there at 8 a.m.
01:12:04Good show, fellas.
