00:01:01It is almost November, boys.
00:01:03How are we feeling?
00:01:03Not great, Casey.
00:01:05Great.
00:01:06Great.
00:01:07Let's say right down the stretch.
00:01:09College football, we're coming down the stretch.
00:01:11This is some nut crunching time.
00:01:13We got four or five weeks left.
00:01:15Sure.
00:01:15Win some football games.
00:01:16All right.
00:01:17That's what I...
00:01:18Yay.
00:01:18Let's go win some football games.
00:01:20Have you recovered from last week?
00:01:21No.
00:01:22No, I have not.
00:01:22Cash the ticket, anyone who is watching this show, minus 1,000.
00:01:26That was a great rant, Dan.
00:01:28That was one of the all-time on-point rants in the history of Barstool.
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33I didn't think it was kind of...
00:01:33Crystal ball.
00:01:34Yeah.
00:01:34I mean, it was actually worse than I thought.
00:01:38I imagined heartbreak.
00:01:40It was like even extra heartbreak.
00:01:43Well, he...
00:01:43And the way he was just kind of maneuvering himself around the field to be in prime time
00:01:50position for every bad play to happen in his face.
00:01:53That's not true.
00:01:54Well, weren't you on the sideline right when the guys zoomed by with the kickoff return
00:02:00and then you walked to the other side of the end zone so he could catch it in your face?
00:02:04That takes a certain type of talent to make sure every play unfolds right in your grill
00:02:09mix.
00:02:10Yeah.
00:02:10Yeah, no, I said it to Brandon after.
00:02:12I was like, if he was in the suite for the entire game, it would have been like, oh, okay,
00:02:15yeah, you got your heart ripped out.
00:02:16No, no, no.
00:02:17He's like, I'm going to go.
00:02:18I want to be the only person who's...
00:02:20I want to be the closest person to the football for every play that goes against my team.
00:02:24He's like the Zach Hample of heartbreak.
00:02:26Yeah, yeah.
00:02:27He just finds it.
00:02:28You're in the right position.
00:02:29You know where it's coming.
00:02:30He finds it.
00:02:31These are very explainable.
00:02:32The punt was, we were watching, we were on that end by the students.
00:02:36It happened at the 20-yard line.
00:02:38You can only go to the 25, so we're standing right at the edge of where we can stand.
00:02:41And then overtime is all in the same end zone, so we went down there for overtime.
00:02:45Yeah, but we talked about the end zone.
00:02:46The end zone's not like the smallest.
00:02:49There's lots of parts of the end zone.
00:02:51Yes.
00:02:51He caught it directly in your face.
00:02:54You were the closest human being on earth, which probably not a great thing because
00:02:58you would want a defender closer to him, but you were the closest person on earth to
00:03:02that touchdown catch.
00:03:03When he dropped back, I thought he was throwing it to me.
00:03:05Yeah.
00:03:05I thought he was throwing it directly to me.
00:03:07Dan's rant was so perfect, but then to be scripted out the way that you were in every
00:03:12single shot and your facial expressions, it's truly a skill set.
00:03:16It was special.
00:03:17It was a special day.
00:03:18I'm a content creator, guys.
00:03:19I create content.
00:03:20That's what you do.
00:03:20That's what I do, and that's what I did, and I hate every single one of you.
00:03:25No, you don't.
00:03:27I kind of do, though.
00:03:28Why?
00:03:29I just, it was a miserable, it was not fun.
00:03:32And then, Casey, you understand.
00:03:35You watch your team do that.
00:03:37Yeah?
00:03:37You go through all the highs and the lows, and mostly, and the lows were incredibly low.
00:03:41You walk back to your car, a slow, cold October rain starts falling.
00:03:46You get stuck in traffic for two hours, and then you have four missed FaceTime calls from
00:03:49Dave Portnoy.
00:03:50Do you know what that feels like?
00:03:50Well, I was streaming.
00:03:51I'm also a content creator, Brandon.
00:03:54It just so happened.
00:03:55I wasn't looking for trouble.
00:03:57Like, I had the Michigan game on, and you see me in real time.
00:04:01I'm getting, like, tweets and texts, and, like, Brandon Walker's crying.
00:04:06And I'm like, what?
00:04:07Crying?
00:04:07I thought it was crying tears of joy.
00:04:09I never cried.
00:04:10Because I turned the game off, and you were up 20, and there was, like, four minutes left
00:04:14in the game.
00:04:14So, I'm like, what is, he's crying about what?
00:04:17Then I see what's transpired.
00:04:19It just so happened I was live.
00:04:21I had to get your reaction, and I wasn't trying to rub it in, as you say, put a boot
00:04:26in your eye.
00:04:28He was checking in on you.
00:04:30Yes.
00:04:30He was being good.
00:04:31Yeah, he...
00:04:32Friends check on each other.
00:04:33He laughed hysterically in my face.
00:04:35No, I tried to cover it.
00:04:36You didn't cover it.
00:04:37I tried to cover it.
00:04:39I honestly, swear to God, was trying my best not to laugh in your face.
00:04:43But the whole situation was just so surreal, a chuckle fell out.
00:04:48It didn't fall out.
00:04:49It burst out.
00:04:50It exploded out.
00:04:51We tried to make you feel better at the end of the day, and then you didn't want to
00:04:56get your hopes back up.
00:04:57I mean, Ev, you finally snapped on him, too.
00:04:59You were like, how the fuck did you not cover?
00:05:01I mean, he just was...
00:05:01I just...
00:05:02Oh, your tweet about you being the most sad thing ever because Mississippi State didn't
00:05:07cover, I almost flew to New York and hit you in the face.
00:05:10I mean, I also lost Georgia State in a horrific fashion, then Cal, it was just a never-ending
00:05:14slew of bad beats.
00:05:15My favorite part of Old Rick Walker was when they're like, Dave wants to talk to you, and
00:05:21you're like, Dave, who?
00:05:22And when you realized it was me, you had an audible groan.
00:05:25Yeah, well, I actually do that a lot.
00:05:29Yeah, it was guttural.
00:05:31Hey, you're going to win this weekend.
00:05:32Oh, come on, Casey.
00:05:33Who are you playing?
00:05:34Arkansas.
00:05:35They're dogs.
00:05:36In Fayetteville.
00:05:37Yeah, I don't like it.
00:05:39It's not a great...
00:05:40Okay, all right, all right.
00:05:41We'll talk about the other game.
00:05:42So, before we get into this, this weekend should have been one of the biggest weekends that we
00:05:46were going to have, especially because of the Penn State-Ohio State game.
00:05:49It's not that way, but this feels like a sneaky slate.
00:05:51So, let's get into the High Noon College Football Weekend Preview.
00:05:54Dave, tell the people about High Noon.
00:05:56High Noon.

00:06:14High Noon, sun's up.
00:06:15So, okay, Ev, I'm going to start with you.
00:06:17Penn State at number one, Ohio State, the line 20 and a half, the over under 44 and a half.
00:06:22We've talked about how good Ohio State has looked, and we know that Penn State is not
00:06:26who we thought they were going to be.
00:06:27How are you feeling about the spread, though?
00:06:29I mean, I feel good.
00:06:31I mean, obviously, I wish that Penn State was good.
00:06:33I wish this was like a big game on the Big Ten schedule.
00:06:36They flubbed out the season.
00:06:38But I mean, there's a lot of like, I don't think it gets talked about a ton.
00:06:42Like, they asked Dave about a little bit of the press conference.
00:06:44Like, there is real beef with Dave and Jim Knowles.
00:06:46And I think if Dave has the chance to run it up at the end of the game, he's going to.
00:06:51So, I think they cover.
00:06:52I really do.
00:06:53I mean, you saw he did it last year with Signet.
00:06:54He went and scored that extra touchdown after he was talking shit.
00:06:57So, I think if he has the opportunity to win this game by four touchdowns, five touchdowns,
00:07:02he will.
00:07:02So, I think they do cover.
00:07:03I think Ohio State covers.
00:07:04Dan, what do you think?
00:07:05Yeah, I'm going to take Ohio State in this game.
00:07:06It would be very funny if Penn State found a way to win this game just after like all
00:07:11these years not being able to win the big one.
00:07:12Then they win a big one that doesn't matter at all for the rest of their season because
00:07:16they already fired their coach.
00:07:17But I think Ohio State, I think Ohio State's also going to use this game.
00:07:22They haven't been pushed at all pretty much since, what, the second half of the Washington
00:07:28game?
00:07:29Like, or like the first half of the Washington game.
00:07:30So, I think they're going to try to, you know, really push themselves almost because
00:07:37you've got to start gearing up here.
00:07:38You're going to, you haven't had the hardest schedule.
00:07:40You've looked great.
00:07:41This is going to be the time.
00:07:43You've got to get ready for Michigan.
00:07:44So, and then the playoff.
00:07:45So, I think they're going to push themselves and try to kind of put the pedal to the
00:07:49metal against Penn State because this is the last game until Michigan where it's the
00:07:54actual talent on the field defensively is a high level.
00:07:58You know what I mean?
00:07:59Penn State's not a good team.
00:08:00They still do have some dudes and they still have talent.
00:08:03So, you can use this opportunity to be like, hey, how do we match up against a talented
00:08:08roster?
00:08:08And they didn't want to play for James Franklin.
00:08:10It looked like it.
00:08:11Right.
00:08:11So, maybe they'll feel a little bit differently.
00:08:13Brandon, what do you think?
00:08:14I just, I don't know how Penn State's going to score.
00:08:16Right.
00:08:16I don't know.
00:08:17I know they got a backup quarterback.
00:08:19They've taken the bye week and they've changed the offense.
00:08:22But I don't see the ingredients on the offense that are going to make me scared if I'm an
00:08:25Ohio State fan.
00:08:26Like, I think Ohio State, I know what you just said is correct.
00:08:29They need to ramp up.
00:08:30They probably need to unleash your horses a little bit, but they could probably not do
00:08:33that and still cruise in this game.
00:08:35I'm going to pick Ohio State, but I just don't see how Penn State's scoring.
00:08:39Dave?
00:08:40Yeah, I'm going with Ohio State here.
00:08:42I do agree with what Dan said.
00:08:46I mean, Penn State was a national championship caliber team supposedly earlier in the season.
00:08:53And now they're a joke.
00:08:54But this roster, those guys are still on the team.
00:08:58The quarterback got hurt.
00:08:59That may be a benefit.
00:09:00He was so bad.
00:09:01So, it could be a lot of points.
00:09:02But, I mean, I don't know.
00:09:03I'll take Ohio State.
00:09:05I'm not going to bet this game in real life, but I'll take Ohio State.
00:09:07Yeah, across the board.
00:09:08Ohio State.
00:09:09I mean, so far they've looked dominant in everything they did.
00:09:11Penn State, it's just a wash.
00:09:13Liam, how do you feel about this game as a Big Ten guy back there?
00:09:16Oh, the biggest Big Ten guy since I was born.
00:09:19I think Ohio State rolls.
00:09:21I think Ohio State runs up the score, tries and makes somewhat of a statement.
00:09:25But Penn State stinks like you guys said.
00:09:27This is the, let Saiyan really sling it and show everyone.
00:09:32We actually do have the best quarterback in the country.
00:09:36This is your true Heisman winner.
00:09:39This is a Saiyan run-up game in statement.
00:09:42Okay, let's go to ACC.
00:09:44Number 10, Miami at SMU.
00:09:46Miami's 12.5-point favorites.
00:09:48The over-under, 50.5.
00:09:50Dan, Miami had the loss to Louisville, which didn't look great.
00:09:53But still kind of in control of the ACC to a certain degree, just from a talent standpoint.
00:09:59SMU kind of flirts with the, I mean, they're 5-3.
00:10:02Do you think that they could upset Miami?
00:10:04I hate this game, but I don't like, I haven't believed in Miami fully all year,
00:10:09just because Carson, back to me, he is so up and down.
00:10:11And you saw it when he was so bad against Louisville, and then he blames his receivers.
00:10:15This is the first time Miami, it's November 1st,
00:10:18and this is the first time Miami is playing a game outside the state of Florida.
00:10:22So they have to go true road game.
00:10:24I don't think SMU's very good.
00:10:2612.5 points, Joe.
00:10:27If you're going to give me a team, 12.5 points against Miami, I'll take SMU.
00:10:32Don't really love this game, though.
00:10:34Dave, what do you think?
00:10:35I'm taking Miami.
00:10:36Don't like the game.
00:10:37Won't play it in real life.
00:10:39If this is, to me, and I said this about the Indiana game when they won by 50,
00:10:51that I thought it could either be close or they'd win by 100.
00:10:54It wouldn't be around the line.
00:10:55I feel like the same here.
00:10:57Like, this will either be, hey, you tune in,
00:10:59and SMU's very close to pulling a full-blown upset, or they're down 40.
00:11:03I'm going to go with Miami.
00:11:04Brandon?
00:11:05I kind of feel like we should be talking about Oklahoma, Tennessee,
00:11:08over this game.
00:11:09Wait, we're not?
00:11:10No, we're not.
00:11:11What?
00:11:12Yeah, this game's on there, and Oklahoma, Tennessee is not.
00:11:14I feel like that was a slight fumble, unless I didn't see it later in the sheet.
00:11:20But I'll just take the over.
00:11:22You'll talk about it, too.
00:11:23No, yeah, but I'll just take the over here.
00:11:24Yeah, no, this game stinks.
00:11:26I'll take the over here.
00:11:27I'll take SMU being able to put up some points,
00:11:30mine being able to put up some points, and that's what I'll go with.
00:11:33Ev?
00:11:35I'll take Miami just because I'm so underwhelmed by SMU,
00:11:37but I think the true road game is a scare.
00:11:40But I also think they should dominate the line of scrimmage,
00:11:42so I guess I'll take Miami.
00:11:43Okay, I'm going to take Miami as well.
00:11:45Let's go to number 17, Cincy at number 24, Utah.
00:11:48Utah, minus 10, the over under 55.5.
00:11:50Dave, I will start with you.
00:11:52Cincy, 7-1.
00:11:53Utah, 6-2.
00:11:55The Big 12 right now is kind of, it's, you know, I wouldn't say a mess,
00:12:00but there's a lot of teams in the mix,
00:12:01and it's really going to start to ramp up in November.
00:12:03Who are you taking in this game?
00:12:04First of all, again, that's just like a slight insult to the Big 12, Casey.
00:12:09That's fine.
00:12:09No, no, I mean, like.
00:12:10I think what you meant was the picture's not clear.
00:12:13Why do you use the word mess?
00:12:14No, I'm saying the picture's not clear.
00:12:15We don't know who the best team in the Big 12 is.
00:12:17Well, I can't, yeah, I mean, you could say that about, well, I mean,
00:12:20do we know then in the SEC?
00:12:22It's also a mess.
00:12:24Yeah, I would say the same thing about the SEC,
00:12:25and then there's a bunch of two lost teams in the Big 10 that's a mess.
00:12:28The only conference that theoretically is not a mess is the Big 10?
00:12:31Well, no, the Big 10, I still think the 5-2 or 6-2 teams, that is a mess.
00:12:35We don't know.
00:12:35Oh, the Big 10's worth it.
00:12:35So then every conference is a mess.
00:12:37Right.
00:12:37I didn't mean it as an insult.
00:12:38I love the Big 12.
00:12:39And I'm not just picking on it, but I feel like that's the Big 12.
00:12:42You just get that.
00:12:44Like, people are like, it's a mess.
00:12:46Well, every conference right now, things can break.
00:12:51But the word mess is attributed to the Big 12.
00:12:55Anyways, that's my Big 12 rant.
00:12:58I love the Big 12, by the way.
00:13:00Right.
00:13:00But it's just a conference that can compete with anybody.
00:13:03This line makes no sense on this game, none whatsoever.
00:13:06It screams to take Utah.
00:13:09I'm saying, like, as a smart gambler,
00:13:12because it's begging you to take Cincinnati.
00:13:14Like, 10 points?
00:13:15I don't get this at all.
00:13:17But we look for injuries in this game.
00:13:18Like, this line is befuddling, and I am taking the cheese.
00:13:24I'm taking Cincinnati.
00:13:25I do not get this at all.
00:13:27This line, Cincinnati is pretty good.
00:13:2910 points.
00:13:31What?
00:13:33Yeah.
00:13:34What?
00:13:35What?
00:13:35It makes no sense.
00:13:36So I'm taking Utah.
00:13:38You have to.
00:13:39It's a crazy line.
00:13:41Crazy.
00:13:41It's a crazy line.
00:13:43I thought this would be like, Cincinnati's good.
00:13:46I don't get it.
00:13:48Yeah.
00:13:48I don't get it, at least under a touchdown.
00:13:51Brandon, what am I missing?
00:13:52Cincinnati's good.
00:13:53Yeah.
00:13:54You have to take Utah.
00:13:55Yeah, you have to take Utah.
00:13:56I'm taking Utah.
00:13:57It's also Saturday night, deep into the night.
00:14:00Yeah.
00:14:01It'll be one of those games.
00:14:02And it's a tough place to play anyway.
00:14:05I think Utah's a little bit recharged right now.
00:14:07So I'm going to pick Utah.
00:14:09And they're right.
00:14:09The number, what do you think?
00:14:10It should be, four and a half?
00:14:11No, like, yeah, like five and a half, six.
00:14:14Yeah.
00:14:14Ev?
00:14:16It's tough for me, because I agree with everything everyone said about the line.
00:14:18I've been a day one Cincinnati guy.
00:14:20I picked them before the season.
00:14:21I was super high on them.
00:14:22I love Soresby.
00:14:23I think out of loyalty, I'm going to take Cincy.
00:14:25But I mean, the line smells bad.
00:14:27Or do you think the line should be Ev?
00:14:28No, I probably, yeah.
00:14:29I would have thought, like, yeah, I probably agree with Dan.
00:14:31Probably like five and a half.
00:14:33Like, going to Utah is a brutal place to play.
00:14:35So I understand that.
00:14:36And I think Utah has obviously laid a couple stinkers.
00:14:39But they're also super talented.
00:14:41So I understand, like, going to Utah at night is a tough game.
00:14:44And Cincinnati's kind of been in the spot where they haven't had these, like, amazing lines in their favor.
00:14:48But they keep beating them.
00:14:49They keep kind of overcoming them.
00:14:51So they're just better than, obviously, the odds makers think they are.
00:14:53I think they've made that clear so far this season.
00:14:55But I'll take Cincy, because I'm a loyal guy.
00:14:57I'll keep riding with them.
00:14:58And Liam, you've been a big Utah guy.
00:15:00What do you think?
00:15:00Yeah, the Blup model had this one at Utah minus seven and a half, eight it was around.
00:15:06So, like, I understand why the line is where it is.
00:15:10When Utah has played lesser teams, they have been able to physically dominate them and impose their will and run the ball all over them.
00:15:19Like, you saw what they did against Colorado last week.
00:15:22It's against BYU.
00:15:23It's against Texas Tech.
00:15:24That they showed up and faltered completely.
00:15:27I think the odds makers just don't see Cincinnati as a legitimate top 25 team.
00:15:34They just don't.
00:15:36Devin Dampere is going to play.
00:15:38There was funky injury report stuff happening.
00:15:41It always does that.
00:15:42Yeah.
00:15:42Yeah, which they're getting drilled for by the Big 12.
00:15:46Like, you can't keep doing that.
00:15:49Whether Dampere plays or not, again, I think he will.
00:15:52I like Utah on this spot.
00:15:53I've liked Utah all year.
00:15:54I've been wrong twice.
00:15:55It's big.
00:15:55You can't be wrong every week.
00:15:59I keep going back.
00:16:01Utah by double digits.
00:16:02I'll say it again.
00:16:03I can't go 0 for 3.
00:16:04Well, they have to be double digits.
00:16:05Yeah.
00:16:05That's true.
00:16:06That's a good point.
00:16:07I'm going to take Utah as well.
00:16:08Let's go to the SEC, number 9, Vandy at number 20, Texas.
00:16:12Texas minus 2.5, the over-under at 45.5.
00:16:15Brandon, you have a fun stat for us about this game?
00:16:17Well, I don't know if it's a stat per se.
00:16:20Or a fact, I should say.
00:16:21Yeah, before I do ultimately pick Texas, I do think Vanderbilt's a better football team and has been a better football team than Texas.
00:16:28But October 4th is the last time Vanderbilt went on the road, so a full month between road games for Vanderbilt.
00:16:34Texas hasn't had a home game since September 20th.
00:16:38A month and a half, basically.
00:16:40They have gone without a home game.
00:16:41They had the neutral site game against Oklahoma and Dallas, and then they had the bye week and the three road trips or three road games.
00:16:47So now they're finally back at home.
00:16:50I don't know if they caught something in a bottle on offense the other night in the second half or not, or if they just...
00:16:57We're playing Mississippi State.
00:16:58Correct.
00:16:59Yes.
00:16:59Thank you, Dave.
00:17:00I appreciate that.
00:17:01I don't know.
00:17:02But regardless, I think this is a spot right here with the number 20 team favored by 2.5 at home over the number 9 team.
00:17:09This just screams take the number 20 team, take the favored team at home.
00:17:13So that would be the third week in a row, right, that you are against Vandy?
00:17:17So you're just keeping score now?
00:17:18You're just...
00:17:19I actually saw a very good clip.
00:17:21Is that true?
00:17:22Austin put it together.
00:17:23I don't know if we have it.
00:17:24Oh, your guy put it together.
00:17:25That's shocking, too.
00:17:25The two rants you had in the previous two weeks, and they were shockingly identical.
00:17:31But I just remember, because you gave us the LSU rant, how LSU's back, and they're going to rally around Brian Kelly, and he's going to finish out the year strong.
00:17:41That didn't really pan out.
00:17:43And then the following week, you had Missouri.
00:17:45And now you're going against them three weeks in a row.
00:17:48So I don't know that you do think Vandy's very good.
00:17:50I think the Missouri pick was me saying, I hate this game.
00:17:53It's going to be very close.
00:17:54I guess give me Missouri to balance out the year.
00:17:56Do you have a Vandy blind spot?
00:17:59I don't.
00:18:02They're going on the road at Texas.
00:18:04You started this rant like I think Vandy's good, but you pick against them every single week.
00:18:08I did not.
00:18:09I picked them against Alabama.
00:18:10No, I picked Alabama.
00:18:12Oh, no.
00:18:14I picked them against somebody.
00:18:15I don't think that you picked them.
00:18:17You do have a Vandy blind spot.
00:18:18I don't have a Vandy blind spot.
00:18:20They're fine.
00:18:20You picked them against South Carolina.
00:18:22Yes, I did.
00:18:23They're a very solid team.
00:18:24I just, on the spot, on the road, the first time they've been on the road in a month.
00:18:28I have no problem with you picking against them.
00:18:30I just don't like you being like, I'm a Vandy guy.
00:18:31It seems like you do.
00:18:32You just got to admit that you have a blind spot.
00:18:34I never said I'm a Vandy guy.
00:18:36I said I think they've been a better team in Texas so far.
00:18:39I think Texas is going to win this game.
00:18:40That's all fair.
00:18:41You're allowed to pick whatever you want.
00:18:43I am allowed to pick whatever I want.
00:18:44But you have a blind spot.
00:18:45Just say you have a blind spot.
00:18:47It's fine.
00:18:48I have blind spots for teams all the time.
00:18:51Who are you going to pick?
00:18:53Sorry, I have Texas in this game.
00:18:54Yeah.
00:18:54I think Texas is going to kill them.
00:18:56Really?
00:18:56Yeah, I think Vandy's, I had Vandy against LSU.
00:19:02I had Vandy against Mizzou.
00:19:03So, I have been picking Vandy.
00:19:05This is not only what Brandon said the first time they've been on the road.
00:19:10Diego Pavia is not like 200.
00:19:12I don't think he's thrown 200 yards against a Power 4 team in 12 games.
00:19:16Oh, his lobbying for the Heisman after last week.
00:19:19Crazy.
00:19:19That was wild.
00:19:20Crazy.
00:19:21So, you know, Vandy is a good team.
00:19:24Texas is a desperate team.
00:19:26Texas' defense, I think, can still win this game.
00:19:29And I actually, is it the worst thing if Arch doesn't play?
00:19:32Their offense is so bad.
00:19:34I was calling for the backup quarterback.
00:19:35Yeah, their backup might be, this might be a situation where I want the backup.
00:19:38Well, their backup threw one really good pass.
00:19:40Yeah.
00:19:41Right in your face.
00:19:43It was really good.
00:19:44Oh, it was beautiful.
00:19:45Really, really good.
00:19:45The tightness on the spiral, guys.
00:19:46Yeah.
00:19:47Y'all can't see it from the angle that you saw.
00:19:49Oh, my God.
00:19:50No, but I think this game comes down to, like, Vandy's, Vandy needs to run the ball to be able to win this game.
00:19:55And I think Texas will be able to stop the run.
00:19:57Ev, I know you're a big Diego Pavia guy.
00:20:00Yeah.
00:20:00And the big Ev model, Diego Pavia getting points is a system play.
00:20:03No one plays harder for your money than Diego Pavia.
00:20:05When he is getting points, he's the best bet in college football.
00:20:09I understand the line is a Texas line.
00:20:10But it's still, there's still, like, a brand name thing there with Texas, Vandy.
00:20:14But people still don't want to fully believe.
00:20:16I'm taking Vandy.
00:20:17I'm taking Vandy getting points.
00:20:18Correct.
00:20:18Ev and I are the only two that are seeing this.
00:20:21I saw it the last two weeks.
00:20:23I'm also on Vandy this week, too.
00:20:25But it's still here.
00:20:27Vandy, they came into the season with a different mindset.
00:20:31I've said every week they're not just happy with one win or two.
00:20:34They think they legitimately can win this conference and be a playoff team.
00:20:37They're better than Texas.
00:20:38They're just better than Texas.
00:20:40I'm going to take Vanderbilt.
00:20:41Yeah, I don't think that Diego Pavia is scared to play in Austin.
00:20:44That's the one thing when you look at the way that he plays.
00:20:47Like, that's not going to intimidate him being at that stadium.
00:20:49And Texas offense is just really bad.
00:20:51And I know they show flashes, but I think Vandy wins this game.
00:20:55I think Texas is just, like, they're shockingly bad on offense.
00:20:58And I know they have really good defense, but I'm going to take Vandy as well.
00:21:01Let's talk about Oklahoma, Tennessee.
00:21:03Tennessee minus three, the over under 56 and a half.
00:21:06Dan, I will start with you.
00:21:07Both of these teams with two losses.
00:21:09This is kind of a de facto playoff game a little bit.
00:21:12It is a playoff game.
00:21:13Yeah.
00:21:14And it's at night in Knoxville, which is a very hard place to play.
00:21:17So, I like Tennessee minus three in this game.
00:21:20And it's the same reasoning I used last week with Oklahoma.
00:21:25I think Oklahoma's defense has been a little bit overstated because of who they played early on in the season.
00:21:33They played Bryce Underwood in his second game of his career.
00:21:36He was 14 years old.
00:21:37And they were on the road.
00:21:38They didn't play a lot of great quarterbacks.
00:21:42And I'm not saying, like, Joey Aguilar is great, but he has played great.
00:21:46And the Tennessee offense is great.
00:21:47And so, I like Tennessee at home, at night.
00:21:52Josh Heupel, is it a revenge game if you loved your school and did great things there?
00:21:59Blutman.
00:22:01It's not revenge.
00:22:02It's not revenge.
00:22:03I do remember, I feel like last year there was a narrative around this about, like, Coach wanted this one real bad.
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:08When they played.
00:22:09I remember that being a thing, like, we did with Coach.
00:22:10But he went to Oklahoma and won.
00:22:12So, now the revenge is gone, right?
00:22:14I agree.
00:22:14But I just remembered it from last year.
00:22:16It was a thing.
00:22:16Like, they want it game.
00:22:17Yeah.
00:22:17I don't know.
00:22:18I'm very excited for this game.
00:22:20This is a game I'm most excited to watch this weekend because it's a night game and it's also, you know, an elimination game.
00:22:26The Halloween uniform.
00:22:27Dark, yellow, dunis.
00:22:28Yeah.
00:22:29Yeah.
00:22:29Brandon, who are you taking?
00:22:31I don't think Oklahoma's a good football team.
00:22:33I think Tennessee's pretty good.
00:22:34I think they are if John McTeer's thumb wasn't.
00:22:38Yeah, but like you said.
00:22:39His thumb is fucked up.
00:22:40Like you said, and like I said last week, the defense kind of was false.
00:22:43It was a little fake on the defense.
00:22:45They're pretty good, but they're not near what we thought they were.
00:22:48Tennessee's offense is great at home.
00:22:50I think Tennessee wins this game by double digits.
00:22:52Dave?
00:22:53I'm going with a square pick.
00:22:55I'm taking Tennessee.
00:22:56I mean, the spread right there says this is a toss-up if it's on neutral site.
00:23:00I think they're about similar teams, but at night, at Knoxville, I'll take Tennessee.
00:23:05Yeah, I'm going to echo the same thing.
00:23:07Not betting this in real life.
00:23:09I'm going to take Tennessee as well.
00:23:10I think they're the better team, and since John McTeer got hurt, it's hard to have confidence in them.
00:23:14Ev, who are you taking?
00:23:15I'm taking Oklahoma with the points.
00:23:16I just think I've been very underwhelmed with Tennessee.
00:23:19To me, it's their defense just so bad.
00:23:20Oh, it's bad.
00:23:21It's terrible.
00:23:21It's so, so bad that I think Oklahoma will be able to score enough to hang around.
00:23:25The defense maybe was a little overrated, but I still think it's far better than Tennessee's.
00:23:28I'm taking Oklahoma with the points.
00:23:30All right, let's go to the DraftKings Dark Horse Host Parlay.

00:23:53Okay, Dave, we'll start with you.
00:23:54What is your Dark Horse pick?
00:23:56So, North Carolina has silently sneaky, maybe under the radar, turned it around a little bit.
00:24:03Belichick seemingly has them playing.
00:24:07You can still argue he's the best coach of all time.
00:24:10Drastic improvement the last two weeks.
00:24:12Should have won the last two games, to be honest, or could have.
00:24:15They went for two, lost last week.
00:24:16Virginia, pretty good team.
00:24:18Had Cal beat on the road late night when no one was paying.
00:24:21Guy fumbles, literally crossing the goal line.
00:24:24They go into Syracuse and get a win for the old ball coach.
00:24:27So, North Carolina plus two and a half, Liam.
00:24:30Okay, Brandon?
00:24:31It's crazy.
00:24:32I know.
00:24:33Right there.
00:24:33The way he wrote that was mesmerizing.
00:24:35So, I'm going to stay in the same conference.
00:24:38Another team, if UNC's been trying to win, Virginia's been kind of trying to lose.
00:24:42Now, they're going coast to coast, all the way across to Cal, Cal plus four and a half against Virginia.
00:24:48Okay, and then Dan?
00:24:51I am going with South Carolina plus 12 and a half.
00:24:55Ole Miss off a big win.
00:24:58Ole Miss is very good.
00:24:59Ole Miss is probably going to the playoffs.
00:25:01Sorry, you know that.
00:25:04Even after we beat them?
00:25:07I don't think you're going to beat them.
00:25:08But, yeah, Ole Miss is probably going to the playoffs.
00:25:10But, I think these are the type of games that they're not going to blow out South Carolina.
00:25:14They're really good.
00:25:15Ole Miss is very good.
00:25:16Also, they're not that good.
00:25:18They're pretty good.
00:25:18I actually agree with that.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:19Right?
00:25:20They're like –
00:25:21Trinidad-shambles is very good.
00:25:23No, they're good.
00:25:24They're really good, but they can be not good.
00:25:27They're just super well coached.
00:25:28They weren't good against Washington State.
00:25:30That's for sure.
00:25:31That was a draft game.
00:25:32That was kind of a similar game where it was, you know, something on deck or something they just came off of.
00:25:3712-45 start, weird game.
00:25:40They're off.
00:25:40They have the ability to be the best – great.
00:25:44They have the ability to be not great.
00:25:45Like, they – whatever.
00:25:47Whatever.
00:25:47We're going to be fine.
00:25:48Don't worry.
00:25:49To send them to – out of the playoff?
00:25:51Sure, sure.
00:25:52And lane to Baton Rouge, yeah.
00:25:53Okay.
00:25:53I'm going to take Vandy plus two and a half.
00:25:56I think Diego Pavia goes into Austin and beats them.
00:25:58I think this Texas team is just down bad.
00:26:00They can't score.
00:26:01I think Vanderbilt wins the game.
00:26:02But for the parlay, I will take plus two and a half.

00:26:34Dave, what is your Venmo receipt?
00:26:36Well, you know, I've indirectly here become the voice of Provo.
00:26:40From going there and becoming one with the Cougars and Cosmo and the Mormons.
00:26:46And I went on Big Noon last week and I gave a rant that the Big 12 was wildly disrespected.
00:26:52With BYU being undefeated and not being in the top ten.
00:26:55You had six teams with one loss.
00:26:57I gave this big one.
00:26:58BYU is undefeated.
00:27:00They are 100% a top ten team.
00:27:02I'm not saying they end there, but you can only judge them by what they do on the field.
00:27:06And they can play with anybody.
00:27:08So, I'm shouting out the Big 12 this week, right now, who got disrespected in the rankings.
00:27:14No way BYU should be a top ten team.
00:27:16No way.
00:27:17Back to you guys.
00:27:18And by the way, that's a great rant.
00:27:19And then BYU, including me, thought an absolute trap spot going into Iowa State.
00:27:25They fall behind early by two scores and just thump them the rest of the game.
00:27:31Hats off to BYU.
00:27:32I have them four this week in my poll.
00:27:36I think they deserve it.
00:27:38In the continuing disrespect of the conference, they deserve to be talked about with everybody else right now.
00:27:46They're winning big games and going in and getting big games.
00:27:50I don't even – this is last week's poll, this top ten, I take it.
00:27:54Huh?
00:27:54No, that's this week's poll.
00:27:55No, that's this week's.
00:27:56That's the AP.
00:27:59BYU is not in the top ten?
00:28:00No.
00:28:01No.
00:28:03How is that humanly possible?
00:28:05I agree.
00:28:05I mean, they should be in the top ten, but the AP –
00:28:07That is just the stupidest –
00:28:09Yeah, they're right outside.
00:28:09They're honestly not in the AP top ten?
00:28:11No, they're 11.
00:28:12How do you even know that?
00:28:12Yeah, they're 11.
00:28:13That's what they were last week.
00:28:15Yeah, they're still on the outside.
00:28:16They're going in BYU.
00:28:18How do you have Miami lose to Louisville?
00:28:21Georgia Tech, fine.
00:28:22Vanderbilt lost to Bama.
00:28:25Ole Miss – who did –
00:28:27Georgia.
00:28:28Georgia.
00:28:28Yeah.
00:28:29Oregon loses to –
00:28:32Indiana.
00:28:33Indiana.
00:28:34Georgia lose to Bama.
00:28:36Bama lost by 40 to Florida State.
00:28:39Bama lost by one of the worst teams in college football.
00:28:43A&M, Indiana, fine, top three.
00:28:46BYU has to be –
00:28:48That is insane.
00:28:50I agree.
00:28:51Can they just go undefeated for the rest of their lives
00:28:53and never crack the top ten?
00:28:55BYU is number ten, but they're tied with Miami.
00:28:59They're sharing ten.
00:28:59Oh, I thought they were 11.
00:29:00They're sharing ten.
00:29:01There's no number 11.
00:29:02Oh, we didn't –
00:29:03That is –
00:29:04Can we all agree on this panel?
00:29:05That's outrageous.
00:29:05That's AP.
00:29:06That's not ours.
00:29:07That's the AP.
00:29:07That's not ours.
00:29:08Yeah, because, like, I put them –
00:29:09No, I meant we didn't allow for that on space.
00:29:11Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:29:11To tie it, Tim, on our board.
00:29:13But can we all agree that's absolutely ridiculous?
00:29:15Yeah, I have them seven.
00:29:16I have them seven.
00:29:17Yes.
00:29:18Brandon?
00:29:19Do you have them seven?
00:29:20I think I have them ten.
00:29:21I don't have Vanderbilt.
00:29:22Let me see.
00:29:22Let me see.
00:29:22It's right there.
00:29:23We do get to that later in the show.
00:29:25Brandon has them seven.
00:29:27Oh, I'm sorry.
00:29:28Yeah.
00:29:29Look at that.
00:29:29Well, like, Miami, like, Louis –
00:29:31They got smoked by Louisville.
00:29:33You think Louisville would just walk into the Big 12 and be, like, great?
00:29:36No.
00:29:38No, I agree.
00:29:38I think we all agree.
00:29:39We all have –
00:29:40We all have –
00:29:40Alabama, come on.
00:29:42It doesn't even count that they lost by 40 to –
00:29:44They didn't lose by 40, but –
00:29:45They lost by 14.
00:29:46Yeah.
00:29:46And Alabama then won five ranked games in a row.
00:29:49Yeah, no, Alabama's been –
00:29:50I don't think Alabama's the team you want to pick on.
00:29:52Wait, wait.
00:29:53Yes, it is.
00:29:54Because losses count.
00:29:56They're a bad team.
00:29:56Florida State has beaten nobody.
00:29:58They went to Georgia and one.
00:29:58BYU off the top has beaten Utah.
00:30:02They beat Iowa State last week.
00:30:04Iowa State's not good.
00:30:04Iowa State's not good.
00:30:06I'm agreeing with you, but Bama has –
00:30:08What Bama's done in the last five weeks is more impressive than what BYU's done.
00:30:13But you can't –
00:30:14I agree.
00:30:15Losses should matter, but Bama's not the team to go after there.
00:30:19Miami.
00:30:20They lost to a terrible team.
00:30:21Oregon hasn't had, like, an insane resume.
00:30:24Miami hasn't had an insane resume.
00:30:26Like, those are the teams that BYU should be ahead of.
00:30:28Who says – this is, though, my point, then.
00:30:30Who says Alabama's resume is awesome?
00:30:35Because they're beating SEC teams?
00:30:37No, I mean, they're beating AP ranked teams, and the AP voters are seeing that.
00:30:42They're beating SEC teams because of bias.
00:30:44The one team that they played not in their conference, they lost by 30.
00:30:49They lost by 14.
00:30:51And the number got less than 40.
00:30:53Yeah, it's going down.
00:30:54What I'm saying is, it's just because you're saying AP teams –
00:30:58what you're saying is because they're beating other SEC teams,
00:31:02and not overly impressively.
00:31:04I mean, they –
00:31:05Going to Georgia and winning is impressive.
00:31:07That's impressive.
00:31:08But Georgia – who's – going into Utah is harder than going into Georgia.
00:31:13It is not, no.
00:31:14It is very much not.
00:31:15Says who?
00:31:15Says anybody with a fucking brain.
00:31:18BYU also didn't go into Utah.
00:31:21They wanted home.
00:31:23The Holy War was at BYU.
00:31:25You were there.
00:31:26Who were we there?
00:31:27Where were we?
00:31:28Texas Tech.
00:31:28That was Texas Tech.
00:31:29And Texas Tech beat the shit out of them.
00:31:30It's a different team.
00:31:31If you want to combine Texas Tech and BYU's resume, then we can agree.
00:31:35No, no, no, no.
00:31:35I got confused.
00:31:36But Texas Tech beat Utah on the road.
00:31:40Yes, we were there for that.
00:31:41Yeah, that's not BYU.
00:31:43BYU's road win is at Iowa State.
00:31:45That's it.
00:31:47And Iowa State's not good.
00:31:48And also, BYU should be in the top ten.
00:31:50We all agree.
00:31:51But Dan, says who?
00:31:52We say Iowa's good.
00:31:54We – what?
00:31:56We all have them in the top ten.
00:31:57We say Iowa's good.
00:31:58I mean, I don't have Iowa.
00:31:59I have BYU in the top ten.
00:32:00I was getting better.
00:32:02I don't – I was not like –
00:32:03Well, but that's my point.
00:32:04Like, Iowa State beat Iowa.
00:32:06So – and Iowa's pretty good in the Big Ten.
00:32:08Florida State smushed – it's like you can make these –
00:32:11it's just there's a pre-bias that SEC wins count more than Big 12 wins.
00:32:17I'm going to BYU right now.
00:32:20Really?
00:32:22I'm not going to –
00:32:23No, it's looking at their schedule.
00:32:25Iowa State just got worse because they had –
00:32:27they got massacred by injuries.
00:32:29Yeah, and they lost –
00:32:30They lost their top ten corner.
00:32:32They lost to Cincinnati and Colorado in back-to-back games.
00:32:34Like, Iowa State's not the same team.
00:32:36It's like teams do change.
00:32:38Also, you're yelling at us, and we all have them in the top ten.
00:32:40We all have them seven.
00:32:42Well, I don't like this Alabama thing one bit.
00:32:45Well, I think Alabama is a better –
00:32:47I think Alabama is a better team than BYU.
00:32:50We just –
00:32:51But it matters what you do on the field.
00:32:54Right, and I agree.
00:32:55Alabama, what they've done on the field in the last month and a half
00:32:58has been very, very good.
00:32:59Went to Georgia.
00:33:00They beat Vanderbilt.
00:33:01I look at this season.
00:33:02Vanderbilt's in the top ten.
00:33:03Georgia's in the top ten.
00:33:04They beat them both.
00:33:04But what teams are good, Dave?
00:33:06They're all similar.
00:33:07That's my point.
00:33:08But what teams are good?
00:33:09Like, give me your – give me – give me, like, your top ten.
00:33:12What are your top – what's your top ten?
00:33:13My top ten was Indiana, Ohio State, A&M, BYU, Georgia Tech.
00:33:20Then I had – I forget what order.
00:33:22I had Oregon, Georgia, Vandy.
00:33:25Okay.
00:33:26So, Bama beat two of those teams.
00:33:30Yeah, but they also lost to Florida State.
00:33:32What is my top ten?
00:33:33I'll get it.
00:33:34I'll see what I said.
00:33:35But you – two of your top ten, Bama went and beat.
00:33:39BYU has not done that to any of your top ten.
00:33:41So, you're ranking them good.
00:33:43They're all –
00:33:43They're all similar.
00:33:45Like, BYU could go beat Alabama.
00:33:46But they can't be all similar because Utah's not in your top ten.
00:33:49Go beat Alabama tomorrow.
00:33:50BYU could beat Alabama tomorrow.
00:33:52But they haven't lost.
00:33:53There's a huge difference between zero losses and one loss.
00:33:55I get that.
00:33:56I have them in my top ten.
00:33:57I just –
00:33:58It is – this argument is very funny because we do all have them in the top ten.
00:34:02We do all respect BYU.
00:34:04It's coming from a place of respect and love.
00:34:05I have them at seven.
00:34:06I have them at seven as well.
00:34:07And it's – I have them at eight.
00:34:10I think I have them at the perfect spot.
00:34:11I have them above Oregon.
00:34:13I have them above Georgia Tech and above Miami.
00:34:17That is respect.
00:34:18Yeah.
00:34:19I have them –
00:34:20Above Miami?
00:34:21I have BYU.
00:34:22I don't even have Miami in my top ten.
00:34:23I got Miami ninth.
00:34:25Yeah.
00:34:25I don't mind me.
00:34:26I have BYU fourth.
00:34:27Here's my top ten.
00:34:28Here's my top ten.
00:34:29Indiana, Ohio State, A&M, BYU, Georgia Tech, Bama, Vandy, Oregon, Georgia, Louisville.
00:34:36Bama – what is it?
00:34:37Like someone explain to me how Miami is in the top ten ahead of Louisville.
00:34:42Make that make sense.
00:34:43The Notre Dame win propped them up really, really high to begin with.
00:34:46Who cares?
00:34:46Head-to-head –
00:34:47Who head-to-head matters?
00:34:48You asked me to explain it to you.
00:34:49It propped them up very, very high early in the season.
00:34:52So, when they lost, it didn't ding them that much.
00:34:53Well, and also, they beat Florida.
00:34:56They beat Florida State.
00:34:57They beat USF.
00:34:58They beat South Florida.
00:34:58South Florida.
00:35:00And they lost head-to-head in Louisville's one loss.
00:35:02They had a great early season resume that put them way up there and they lost in ding them.
00:35:06Why don't we just hand out the national championship based on what we think is going to happen rather than on the field?
00:35:11Disgusting.
00:35:11Well, no.
00:35:11That's why we have a 12-team playoff.
00:35:13Right.
00:35:13But we can't have the playoff in the middle of the season.
00:35:16The playoff rankings do come out this next week.
00:35:18So, we will see what the playoff committee thinks.
00:35:19The AP, we make fun of the AP every year going into the season, during the season.
00:35:24So, this fight, Dave, that you're having is with the AP voters, not with us, and hopefully not with the college football playoff committee.
00:35:29Well, it sounds like people are defending.
00:35:30Does anyone think Miami should be ahead of Louisville?
00:35:34Yeah, I think we all have –
00:35:35Miami's very good.
00:35:36Who did Louisville lose to?
00:35:37I don't care what you think, Walker.
00:35:38You have the worst record year in and year out.
00:35:40You know what your record is?
00:35:41It's 18-25, and you're in last place.
00:35:43Oh, that's not even a record.
00:35:44We don't even keep that.
00:35:45I don't even know why they put that on there.
00:35:47Who cares what you think?
00:35:47You're 1-30 in your picks of the week.
00:35:49I won last week.
00:35:51I'm 2-7.
00:35:51You have Brian Kelly as national coach of the year three weeks ago.
00:35:54Listen, I – BYU is very good.
00:35:56Let's see what happens when they play Texas Tech next week.
00:35:58I mean, that's like – that's where their start of their schedule is like they're going to start playing a lot of these teams.
00:36:03They're like, okay, these are some – these are the top level.
00:36:06They play Cincinnati the week after, I believe.
00:36:08Those are the teams I think are really, really good in the Big 12.
00:36:10But I have no problem with them.
00:36:12I thought they'd lose last week, as did you, and they prove us wrong.
00:36:15And then we turn around and say, well, Iowa State's not very good.
00:36:17No, I didn't say – no, I mean, I bet that because it's like I'm always going to bet a –
00:36:21like a non-ranked favorite at home versus a ranked team.
00:36:25And that was also like – I mean, the – Iowa State melted down.
00:36:29That punt return, the ball going off that guy's fucking foot was insane.
00:36:33He kicked it.
00:36:34It was insane.
00:36:35We just had the top ten argument.
00:36:37We're going to probably have it again at the end of the show, so we'll move on.
00:36:40Dan, what is your receipt of the week?
00:36:42I wanted to be nice to my good friend Brandon Walker because he's been getting the shit kicked out of him.
00:36:48He's bad.
00:36:49He's wrong about everything.
00:36:52That's not –
00:36:53I mean, that's true.
00:36:54I fucking hate this earpiece.
00:36:55Why can't we just get the earpieces that are fucking good?
00:36:57We have all of them –
00:36:58I called Virginia being good.
00:37:00That's why I've received the week.
00:37:01I'm done with this earpiece.
00:37:02I got – can we – this thing doesn't stay in my ear.
00:37:05Why do we have the shitty earpieces?
00:37:06I got the good one.
00:37:07I don't know how.
00:37:07I have a good one, too.
00:37:08Yeah, everyone got the good one except me.
00:37:10Why don't we just get good earpieces?
00:37:11I don't know.
00:37:12I said that a million times ago.
00:37:13Why don't we – do you have a good one?
00:37:14What do you have?
00:37:15Yeah, I think it works fine.
00:37:16No, I have the bad one.
00:37:17No, but he has the one that goes around.
00:37:18I have this one.
00:37:19You know what we need to do is just get molds.
00:37:21Like, everyone needs to get molds.
00:37:22It's just –
00:37:23Just get the ones from Wake Up Barstable.
00:37:24Yes, those are good.
00:37:25All right.
00:37:27I've just been playing with it the whole time.
00:37:28I can't keep it in my ear.
00:37:29I half hear Dave half the time.
00:37:31So, it's Brandon Walker.
00:37:33Good job.
00:37:34You bet Virginia over six and a half.
00:37:36You told that to Clem.
00:37:38It hit before Halloween.
00:37:40I wanted to do something nice to you.
00:37:42People are going to do, like, the, you know,
00:37:44oh, he said James Franklin was going to work out, all this stuff.
00:37:47Sure, sure.
00:37:48That's my receipt of the week.
00:37:49Great job.
00:37:50Oh, my God.
00:37:50Four years in a row, Clem has asked me for an over,
00:37:52and four years in a row, it has hit before Halloween.
00:37:54So, I did that for you.
00:37:55I did that for you.
00:37:56Nice.
00:37:57Nice.
00:37:57Hey, no strings – there's nothing – no gotcha or anything?
00:38:01All right.
00:38:01No other receipt or anything?
00:38:05Just no earpiece now.
00:38:06Why are you – you keep talking like it was good,
00:38:09and then you keep talking.
00:38:10There's no other receipt.
00:38:11That was the receipt.
00:38:12All right, good, good, good.
00:38:12It was not your top four from July and how it's doing now,
00:38:17but that's fine.
00:38:18We're good.
00:38:19Brandon, your receipt?
00:38:21My receipt – what are you doing?
00:38:23My earpiece – as we were talking shit, my earpiece fell off.
00:38:26Fine, fine.
00:38:26My receipt is don't the four of y'all look stupid because my trip down to Mississippi
00:38:33was to get a win, and you guys think I didn't, but guess what?
00:38:37Friday night, West Point High School 51, Caledonia 7.
00:38:42Don't touch me.
00:38:42We're 8-0.
00:38:43Don't touch me.
00:38:44We are 8-0.
00:38:45We destroyed them.
00:38:46We're number one in the state.
00:38:47Best high school program in the entire Southeast, and I went down there and got that done.
00:38:52That's what I went for.
00:38:53I think you got an overall win.
00:38:55You had a nice time.
00:38:56I had a great time.
00:38:56Beautiful time.
00:38:56And you were leading for most of the game.
00:38:59Most of the – 58 minutes.
00:39:00Actually, yeah, 58 minutes we were leading.
00:39:02That's huge.
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:03When you look back, I know that you got the loss, but when you look back, you still had a nice time.
00:39:07It was a beautiful time.
00:39:09Starkville's a wonderful place filled with wonderful people.
00:39:11That is true.
00:39:12Okay, so –
00:39:12Shout out to that major league guy who looked like his dog died.
00:39:16Jake Manuel.
00:39:17Yeah.
00:39:17I mean, everybody looked like their dog died.
00:39:18Everybody loves Mississippi State down there.
00:39:19We're not like you.
00:39:21We can't just turn it off, you know?
00:39:24We're actual fans.
00:39:26Oh, wow.
00:39:26That was kind of mean.
00:39:27No, it wasn't mean.
00:39:28It was just the truth.
00:39:29Okay.
00:39:30I don't even know who that was directed at me.
00:39:31You.
00:39:31That was you.
00:39:32That was you.
00:39:32That was you.
00:39:33Well, I will say there is a general difference.
00:39:37That, like, I can't get up for four and five teams, and we don't get up for beating Minnesotas and the Northwesterns of the world.
00:39:45We get up for national championship seasons.
00:39:48You have never even sniffed one, so there is a different level of expectation where, you know, yes, at Michigan, if we were Mississippi State, the fans would be like, we need major changes.
00:40:01It was the worst season in the history of football.
00:40:04I grant you that.
00:40:05Continue.
00:40:06Continue.
00:40:06Okay.
00:40:06You don't want to have a rebuttal?
00:40:08Continue.
00:40:09Okay.
00:40:09So, my receipt, it's kind of a pre-seat, but also what's happening down in Louisiana right
00:40:14now is truly baffling.
00:40:15The Louisiana governor saying that Scott Woodward will absolutely not pick LSU's next coach after
00:40:20Ryan Kelly got fired, and he said he'd rather Donald Trump pick the next coach.
00:40:25I think it's insane that the Louisiana governor is making these calls.
00:40:29Dave, I know you said it on Wake Up Barstool.
00:40:30Scott Woodward should absolutely not hire the next coach there, but it is crazy that in Louisiana,
00:40:35and it's just basically whoever the governor is.
00:40:38T-Bob was saying, like, that's how it works there.
00:40:41Yeah.
00:40:41Like, the estate school, and they're heavily – I have no – listen, that guy, first of all, never heard him talk.
00:40:46Central casting.
00:40:48That's rule one of the search committee.
00:40:50You've got to have that accent, whether it's Coach O or that guy.
00:40:53If you're going to coach LSU, you need that accent.
00:40:56I had no – I mean, I really didn't have a problem with it.
00:40:59It was – I thought it was great to see someone actually call an AD to the carpet,
00:41:04and he called Sexton to the carpet with having all the coaches, and I thought it was entertaining.
00:41:10And to be honest, great.
00:41:12This is, like, what I expect from LSU football, that the governor gets involved with that accent.
00:41:17So I loved it.
00:41:18No, I think it's hilarious.
00:41:19I just can't imagine that, like, being a thing that happens in all of college football.
00:41:23Well, he's saying he's going to do a search committee when it's all, like, said and done,
00:41:26which I wouldn't let that – I wouldn't let that guy pick what I'm having for breakfast.
00:41:30No.
00:41:31No, no.
00:41:32It's just very funny that, like, it's a real thing that's happening.
00:41:34Because I agree, the accent and everything was great.
00:41:36But just be like, no, I'd rather Donald Trump do it.
00:41:38And it's like, that's what LSU fans have to sit and wait for right now.
00:41:41Who do you think is going to be the next head coach, Brandon, at LSU?
00:41:45Well, I mean, I think they're going to do – they're going to turn that state upside down
00:41:47to try to make it Lane Kiffin.
00:41:49I don't know if he's going to go.
00:41:50I don't know if he's entrenched.
00:41:51But that's who – that's choice number one, two, and three, right?
00:41:56I don't think they should – I mean, yeah, they're going to try to get Lane Kiffin.
00:41:58I don't think he's going to go there.
00:41:59I don't know who they're going to end up with, but I haven't –
00:42:02Calvin Shepard?
00:42:04Who?
00:42:04I don't think so now.
00:42:05I think that's what they should do.
00:42:07Really?
00:42:07Yeah.
00:42:08They just went to the –
00:42:10Detroit's defensive coordinator.
00:42:11Yeah, defensive coordinator who played at LSU.
00:42:14They went the route of –
00:42:15Never recruited.
00:42:16But LSU went the route of trying to get the hottest name, the biggest name,
00:42:21the biggest ticket.
00:42:22Like, they won national titles.
00:42:24I know that this is – it probably doesn't work exactly.
00:42:28They won national titles with Coach O and Les Miles.
00:42:31Those guys are good motivators for men.
00:42:33Those guys are good, you know, in the living room.
00:42:36Are they the best tacticians in the world?
00:42:39Both had –
00:42:39You need a weirdo.
00:42:41You need a weirdo in LSU.
00:42:42Yeah, right.
00:42:42But you need someone who – you need someone who loves LSU.
00:42:45But both had years of success.
00:42:46Yeah.
00:42:46Not success, experience.
00:42:47Both had years of experience.
00:42:48Okay.
00:42:49He's going to be his first head coaching job anyway.
00:42:50I mean, the Mad Hatter was one of the worst tactitional coaches in the history of football.
00:42:54Just – a lot of times the talent went out.
00:42:57The football is better than the Mad Hatter.
00:43:00Yeah.
00:43:00Like that guy.
00:43:01Yeah, you just want to –
00:43:02But they talked about him going to Michigan, and I didn't want to touch him with a 10-foot pole.
00:43:05Right.
00:43:06So, I don't know.
00:43:07It only works at LSU down the bayou, down late.
00:43:10Weird stuff happens.
00:43:11Coach O, Hatter, you need someone like that.
00:43:14Gruden would fucking murder it there.
00:43:15Oh, that would be awesome.
00:43:16Okay, Ev, what is your receipt?
00:43:19Mine is – I don't know if you guys saw this clip.
00:43:21It was Lane Kiffin talking about a Brent Venables after the game last week.
00:43:24So, I guess Venables went in the postgame presser, said that he thought they had the better team,
00:43:28and then a reporter asked Lane about it.
00:43:31He goes, hmm, that's interesting.
00:43:32That's a hot take.
00:43:33He goes, maybe they had the better team last year, too.
00:43:36He said, maybe they had the better team at Oklahoma when we beat them 55-19 national championship.
00:43:39Maybe they had the better team at Clemson when we beat them 45-40 national championship at Alabama.
00:43:43And between all these, the comedic timing where he would basically say, like, maybe they had the better team last year.
00:43:48Wait, a reporter goes, ask the question.
00:43:49And then he would stop and say, maybe he had the better team at Oklahoma.
00:43:52So, he kept doing that to a reporter.
00:43:55It was like the definition of keeping receipts.
00:43:57And he went on.
00:43:58He goes, they said they were the better team.
00:43:59He goes, we won by eight in their place, and we left points on the board.
00:44:02I mean, just absolutely – he hates Brent Venables.
00:44:04Yeah.
00:44:05He smoked Venables in his presser.
00:44:07Like, just dumb.
00:44:08Brian Kelly did that earlier to dabble, but now Brian Kelly's dead.
00:44:12He's so dead.
00:44:13And no one said a single nice – not one person has said a nice thing about Brian Kelly.
00:44:17It's very funny.
00:44:18I don't think there's any –
00:44:19You can't find a single person.
00:44:21Like, it's crazy.
00:44:24Has there been anyone who's said anything nice about Brian Kelly?
00:44:27PFT found out Brian Kelly follows him on Twitter, and PFT said one good thing about him on our Gambling Cape stream.
00:44:33Other than that, nothing.
00:44:34Yeah, no, he follows me, too.
00:44:35We invited him on, but no, there hasn't been anyone who's said anything nice.
00:44:40He didn't accept it?
00:44:41No, he's not looked at it yet.
00:44:42What?
00:44:43Yeah.
00:44:44I think even Malik Neighbors posted something about him when he got fired and then deleted it.
00:44:48Even Flumer guys who had, like, unbelievable careers under him are still like, fuck this guy.
00:44:52Like, didn't Malik Neighbors do, like, a Kicking Rocks video?
00:44:54Wasn't that what he did?
00:44:54Yeah, he posted something like that and then deleted it after.
00:44:57It was directly at Brian Kelly.
00:44:59I was joking.
00:44:59The nicest thing that someone said about Brian Kelly was when we had Zach Martin here in the office last week.
00:45:04On part of my take, I asked him about Brian Kelly.
00:45:06He's like, we haven't really kept in touch.
00:45:08That was the nicest thing that was said about him.
00:45:10That was it.
00:45:12Yeah, nobody loves Brian Kelly.
00:45:13I mean, people talk about the Killing the Kid at Notre Dame.
00:45:14The Greg Brooks story is, like, even.
00:45:16There's so many.
00:45:17He's just a dick.
00:45:18Like, truly, like, horrific.
00:45:20Like, this guy is no, like.
00:45:21Or making, uh, Dave, do you know the Robert Salah, Matt LaFleur story at Central Michigan?
00:45:27He, he, they were assistants on his staff and he invited him over for his holiday party.
00:45:32And when they got there, he made them park cars.
00:45:35Huh.
00:45:36I don't hate that.
00:45:39Giving Dave ideas.
00:45:41He's just an asshole.
00:45:42Okay, let's go to proper picks presented by proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
00:45:46While Dan is getting his shot, let's look at the standings.
00:45:48Dave and I are tied at 6-3.
00:45:50Big Ev, 3-4-2.
00:45:52Dan, 4-5.
00:45:53And, Brandon, you got a win last week.
00:45:55So, you are 2-7.
00:45:57Let's go, Brandon.
00:45:58All right, I'm making my Irish entrance this football season with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
00:46:02Start with shot of proper.
00:46:03Because real friends don't let friends Irish exit without a story.
00:46:07Keep it classic with a proper ginger or mix it up with proper Irish apple.
00:46:11However you show up, make it a proper Irish entrance.
00:46:15What's your pick?
00:46:16Take mine.
00:46:17Yeah, take your shot.
00:46:18It's whiskey weather.
00:46:18Mmm.
00:46:20My pick is the kickoff of Pac-12 season.
00:46:25Washington State minus 3-1 against Oregon State.
00:46:28Pac-12 regular season is about to start.
00:46:31Very excited for it.
00:46:33It's a two-game regular season.
00:46:34These two teams are going to play each other twice.
00:46:36And I'm going to take Washington State.
00:46:38Mine is 3-1.
00:46:39It's so stupid.
00:46:40Washington State's actually not a bad team.
00:46:42They just played the weirdest schedule.
00:46:45They've, like, zigzagged across the country.
00:46:47I think they're actually a decent team.
00:46:50And Oregon State is, you know, they fired their coach.
00:46:52They've been pretty bad.
00:46:54But, listen, anytime you get into conference play, you've got to win your games.
00:46:58So, and they play again in two weeks.
00:47:00Okay, Dave.
00:47:02That is...
00:47:03I actually like that pick.
00:47:04This one makes me a little nervous in the sense it jumped out to a lot of people, which
00:47:12always makes me nervous.
00:47:13But it's a 100-star play for me.
00:47:16Big game hunting.
00:47:17I love Kansas State, plus seven and a half, or seven here we have them, at home against
00:47:22Texas Tech.
00:47:23This is a team that started, couldn't get out of their own way.
00:47:26Looked awful.
00:47:28But they had kind of some high hopes.
00:47:30The quarterback was coming back, and they've turned it around the last couple of weeks.
00:47:35I think they can beat...
00:47:37Who are they playing?
00:47:38Tech.
00:47:39Texas Tech.
00:47:40I don't know why I had a brain cramp there.
00:47:42I think they can beat them.
00:47:44So, I think this game goes down to the wire.
00:47:46The only thing that jumped into my brain is a lot of people have seen it, like Dan liked
00:47:51it, Bosco liked it.
00:47:53A lot of people are like, ooh, we love it.
00:47:55So, that makes me a little nervous, but I like Kansas State a lot here.
00:47:59It is crazy to think that to start the season, Avery Johnson's dad and brother were fighting
00:48:03each other in Ireland.
00:48:04Like, that's how...
00:48:04It really turned it around.
00:48:05Yeah.
00:48:06What a rollercoaster ride.
00:48:08Okay, Brandon, what's your proper pick?
00:48:09So, my pick is Clemson minus two and a half at home against Duke, but it's more just picking
00:48:17against Duke.
00:48:19As a Mississippi State fan, I have seen this a lot this year, but they have a special skill
00:48:24for losing football.
00:48:25They're Auburn.
00:48:26They're Auburn of the ACC.
00:48:27Duke has a special, special talent for figuring out a way to not only lose games, but then take
00:48:33losses and make them look like blowouts.
00:48:35Like, they really know how to step on their own.
00:48:38Every fucking week, I go on Twitter on Monday or Tuesday, and someone's like, here's, you
00:48:45know, expected scores of games and box score, like, diving into the box score.
00:48:50It's like, Duke should have won by 40 and they lost by 20.
00:48:53Yeah.
00:48:54Yeah.
00:48:54They just can't win games.
00:48:55I got Clemson minus two and a half against Duke.
00:48:58I'm not going to get over the holder running backwards against Georgia Tech.
00:49:02He ran in the wrong direction, like 15 yards.
00:49:04It's crazy.
00:49:05They dominated and then lost by double.
00:49:07That's what they do every week.
00:49:08They did.
00:49:08It's like, oh, it's crazy.
00:49:10500 more yards.
00:49:11I know that, like, Duke has hurt you the most this year, other than Duke fans.
00:49:14I picked them to make the ACC championship.
00:49:15I know.
00:49:16You were riding hard for them, and Brandon had to say you're not allowed to talk about
00:49:19them anymore.
00:49:19Yeah.
00:49:20I broke that rule.
00:49:21Well, he can do it on this show.
00:49:22Well, right.
00:49:22But in general, he cannot.
00:49:23Okay, Ed, what's your proper pick?
00:49:24Haven't done it all year.
00:49:25I'm taking the Buckeyes.
00:49:26They're undefeated against the spread.
00:49:27I know it's a square pick.
00:49:28I don't care.
00:49:29I really think they roll again.
00:49:30I think Day is going to run it up if he can.
00:49:32Yeah, I'm taking the Buckeyes.
00:49:34I'm going to take Indiana against Maryland.
00:49:36I know it's a big number, 21 and a half.
00:49:37I just think Indiana right now is absolutely rolling.
00:49:40They're covering these spreads.
00:49:41I mean, what Kurt Cignetti has done, he's staying there.
00:49:43Not against Michigan State.
00:49:45No, they did not against Michigan State.
00:49:46We got in the great field goal war of 2025.
00:49:49That's true.
00:49:50I just, like, right now, they're just absolutely, other than that game, they're pounding teams.
00:49:54I think that Maryland is just, like, I know that they've hung around a little bit.
00:49:59I just, I think Indiana is phenomenal.
00:50:01I was nervous about this because Maryland has looked a little frisky, but I just think
00:50:06Indiana continues to roll.
00:50:07Maryland's one of the great, let me jump out to a big lead and then choke teams.
00:50:11And they do show up for big teams.
00:50:13Like, they do play up.
00:50:14I just, I think Indiana is just a different breed right now.
00:50:17Let's go to the Reese's Dynamic Duo of the Week.
00:50:20You're not imagining it.
00:50:21Brandon, go ahead and eat you one.
00:50:22I know you want to.
00:50:23Reese's is out with their new Reese's Oreo Cups.
00:50:25Reese's Peanut Butter and Oreo Cookie Crumbs together in one cup.
00:50:28It's what we've all been waiting for.
00:50:29Two fan favorites coming together and making everyone's day a million times better.
00:50:32It doesn't matter what we say.
00:50:33It's Reese's and Oreo.
00:50:35You're already in.
00:50:35Available now wherever candy is sold.
00:50:38Take that bite.
00:50:41Look at that.
00:50:42Delicious, huh?
00:50:43Okay, Dave.
00:50:43What's your Dynamic Duo?
00:50:45So, you know, I've been on the internet now 20-something years, 22, 23 years.
00:50:50So when I see a comment that makes me laugh and be like, oh, it's funny because it's true.
00:50:53Dynamic Duo, Brandon Walker and Stingray Steve.
00:51:00Absolute nasty work by whoever said that.
00:51:03Fuck this.
00:51:04Fuck this.
00:51:04Fuck this.
00:51:04No.
00:51:05I laughed out loud when I saw.
00:51:08Fuck you.
00:51:08Fuck you.
00:51:08It was a Mississippi State fan being like, fuck this guy on the sideline.
00:51:13He's just Stingray 2.0.
00:51:15This is bad for the school.
00:51:17So I forgot about Stingray.
00:51:20That's how long ago that was.
00:51:22But he was the Mississippi mascot that was universally made fun of for whatever reads across the internet.
00:51:29And that has now become Walker.
00:51:31He is Stingray 2.0.
00:51:33No.
00:51:33Is that true?
00:51:34No, it's not.
00:51:35A, that guy's not a Mississippi State fan.
00:51:37He was an Alabama fan and student who couldn't get on fine by being an Alabama guy.
00:51:41So he went 90 miles west and came to us.
00:51:43Well, your mother's an Alabama fan, so that's another similarity.
00:51:46Don't talk about his mom.
00:51:47Don't talk about my mama.
00:51:48Where is Stingray Steve?
00:51:49I don't know.
00:51:50I don't know.
00:51:51Didn't he sue us at one point?
00:51:52Maybe.
00:51:53Something happened.
00:51:54Something happened.
00:51:55It was like that meme.
00:51:57Run him out of town.
00:51:57He was mad he looked like a Stingray.
00:51:59Yeah.
00:51:59I ran him out of the fan base.
00:52:01You did.
00:52:01Yeah, because he's a phony.
00:52:02He's a fake.
00:52:03I'm an actual Mississippi State fan.
00:52:04I bleed for this shit.
00:52:05He was just using it to get on Tosh 2.0 or whatever you call that stupid ass.
00:52:09Tosh 2.0.
00:52:10I spit my coffee out when someone said that.
00:52:14Fuck this Stingray 2.0 guy.
00:52:16That was an Ole Miss fan with a state burner.
00:52:19That's all it was.
00:52:20Yeah, that's true.
00:52:20They're hiding.
00:52:21They're hiding.
00:52:22I did get looped in somehow by Twitter notifications where you were arguing with somebody and then
00:52:26somebody tagged me and they said that they're going to run you out of the fandom like they
00:52:31ran Stingray Steve out of.
00:52:32They're not going to run you out.
00:52:33That was an Ole Miss fan too.
00:52:34These people are crazy.
00:52:35Brandon didn't.
00:52:37Guess what?
00:52:37Your team lost.
00:52:38It wasn't Brandon's fault.
00:52:40Was he?
00:52:40Well.
00:52:42God damn it, Dave.
00:52:44I don't think it was Brandon's fault.
00:52:45I'm happy that Brandon was standing right there because we got great content.
00:52:48But it's like one of those things where if someone asked me if I'm superstitious, like,
00:52:52yes, I'm superstitious.
00:52:53But if you then put a gun to my head, I'm like, no, obviously.
00:52:56You know, Mississippi State was always going to lose that kid.
00:52:58I agree, but at the same time, like, he did prevent winning.
00:53:05Like, there was no way they were going to win when he was there.
00:53:07I don't yet.
00:53:07He may not have caused the loss.
00:53:09Right.
00:53:10But they weren't going to win.
00:53:12Yeah.
00:53:12Brandon.
00:53:13I wasn't there for the Tennessee game that we lost in heartbreaking fashion.
00:53:16I wasn't there for the Florida game we lost in heartbreaking fashion.
00:53:18So how did this change?
00:53:19How did my presence?
00:53:20That's why I'm agreeing with you.
00:53:22Like, you didn't necessarily cause the loss, but you prevented the win.
00:53:25Yeah, there was 0% chance you were going to win that game by going.
00:53:28But you did not create that loss.
00:53:31Right.
00:53:31You just prevented the win.
00:53:32I mean, Dan did call it with the whole take of the heart.
00:53:36But that's the problem.
00:53:37If people want someone to blame and they're blaming Brandon, it's not.
00:53:42That happens with every fan base.
00:53:43Yeah, of course.
00:53:44They go against their person when they're losing.
00:53:45You can't say anything.
00:53:46If you tweet anything, people will be like, you jinxed it.
00:53:49Like, all right, lay off.
00:53:50Brandon, you'll be fine.
00:53:52Why don't you go ahead and tell us what your dynamic duo is?
00:53:54Who gives a shit?
00:53:56Who gives a shit what my dynamic duo is?
00:53:59I care.
00:54:00No, you don't.
00:54:01And you don't.
00:54:02Dave doesn't.
00:54:03Big Cat doesn't.
00:54:04Big Ev doesn't.
00:54:04Blutman might.
00:54:05I just.
00:54:08It was Brian Kelly and James Franklin, two guys that got run out of town on a rail,
00:54:12embarrassing and just absolutely toxic right now.
00:54:17And not only did they get run out of town, toxic, terrible,
00:54:21they should be two of the hottest coaching targets on the market.
00:54:24Like, Virginia Tech should absolutely hire James Franklin
00:54:28and Wisconsin should absolutely hire Brian Kelly.
00:54:30Wisconsin should hire Brian Kelly.
00:54:32James Franklin, yes.
00:54:33Brian Kelly, no.
00:54:34I think Brian Kelly's done.
00:54:35Brian, he's not done.
00:54:36I think he's done.
00:54:36He is an asshole, but guess what?
00:54:38Coaches don't have to not be assholes.
00:54:39Coaches can be assholes.
00:54:40Yeah, but in today's day and age,
00:54:43you kind of have to be a little bit more involved,
00:54:45and he wasn't really involved, and he's playing all this golf,
00:54:48and he's, I think he might be done.
00:54:51I'm just saying, if I'm Oklahoma State and I can get Brian Kelly,
00:54:54I think he's done.
00:54:54Yeah, I agree with that.
00:54:56That's what I'm saying.
00:54:56Yeah, but I just don't think, I think he might be, like, he's like, I'm done.
00:55:00I don't want to do this.
00:55:00He said he wanted to coach again.
00:55:01Really?
00:55:02How old?
00:55:02He said that day he wanted to coach again.
00:55:0464?
00:55:04Yeah, he's not that old.
00:55:05I think you've got to say that to get the money, no?
00:55:08Yeah, maybe.
00:55:10We still don't know exactly what the buyout's going to be.
00:55:12He could be getting less because of a moral clause,
00:55:14so we'll see what happens with him.
00:55:15So I was told that all four of us had, other than Dave,
00:55:18had a dynamic duo with coaching.
00:55:21You talk about Lane Kiffin right now is going to be coaching, like,
00:55:2317 teams next year.
00:55:24So I have Lane in every single job opening.
00:55:26It's like, they're going to get Lane.
00:55:27They're going to go after Lane.
00:55:28I truly believe that there's a world where he stays at Ole Miss.
00:55:32I don't know why he wouldn't unless he really wants to go somewhere.
00:55:35I think that he has everything made right there.
00:55:37But he is that guy right now.
00:55:38As soon as a job opening, it's like, it's Lane Kiffin.
00:55:41Dan, what's yours?
00:55:41Yeah, the other one, there's always one guy who gets named for every single head coach.
00:55:46Obviously, Lane Kiffin is one of them.
00:55:48But Marcus Freeman is going to be named for every big job.
00:55:51Marcus Freeman is not going anywhere.
00:55:54He is, I'll say this right now, I think,
00:55:56and I have no insider knowledge whatsoever.
00:55:58I think Marcus Freeman has already signed his contract extension at Notre Dame.
00:56:01He is not going anywhere.
00:56:03So Notre Dame fans, they get upset.
00:56:05I did a little troll on Monday, a little tiny troll,
00:56:08where I might have put Luke Fickle's name into some of these, you know,
00:56:11hey, who's going to be the LSU coach?
00:56:13Who's going to be Florida's coach?
00:56:14And I had to use Marcus Freeman's name as a little bait.
00:56:17People got a little upset.
00:56:19I, Notre Dame fans, Marcus Freeman's your coach for now, for tomorrow,
00:56:23for a very long time going forward.
00:56:24So don't worry.
00:56:26He's not going anywhere.
00:56:27But he's going to get mentioned a lot.
00:56:29And, like, Kurt Signetti is one of those guys, too, that, I mean,
00:56:31a few years ago, if you said Kurt Signetti would not go to Penn State over Indiana,
00:56:35you would think that's crazy.
00:56:36He's staying there.
00:56:37He's happy there.
00:56:38Marcus Freeman's that way.
00:56:39And that's why I do think that it wouldn't be crazy if Lane decided to stay at Ole Miss
00:56:42for all those reasons.
00:56:43Am I the only one who doesn't trust anything?
00:56:45No, no, no, I know, but I'm saying that he's – go ahead, Dave.
00:56:48Am I the only one who doesn't trust anything?
00:56:49Like, I know Signetti signed that big contract and there's doves flying and all this stuff.
00:56:55I could easily see that guy just turn around and, guess what, I just want to get through
00:56:59the season.
00:57:00I'm going to Penn State.
00:57:00Like, I don't trust – he's not going to be at Indiana his whole life.
00:57:04No shot.
00:57:04I said that, too.
00:57:05I don't trust any of these coaches.
00:57:06So, you think that he could be at Penn State anyway?
00:57:09As far as Signetti, no, but I – like, whenever Lane says something, I just throw it out.
00:57:13I mean, I don't care.
00:57:14A hundred percent.
00:57:14I agree with that.
00:57:15I just – I think right now Signetti has a better shot at winning a title at Indiana
00:57:19than Penn State.
00:57:20Well, no.
00:57:20Well, they're –
00:57:21Yeah, he has built this.
00:57:23He has built this.
00:57:24But Penn State is just built to do it all the time every year.
00:57:27It's so much easier to do at Penn State than what he has accomplished at Indiana.
00:57:30I don't know.
00:57:31Well, I mean, that's just –
00:57:32This is him.
00:57:33This is him.
00:57:33It's also just, like, basic recruiting of the state of Pennsylvania is going to always –
00:57:37Yeah.
00:57:37Yes, and with the transfer portal –
00:57:39Better jobs are better jobs for a reason.
00:57:40And I agree with that.
00:57:41But there is, like, with the transfer portal and the NIL and all that, it has changed a little bit.
00:57:45I'm not saying that Penn State's on a better job.
00:57:47It is.
00:57:47But I do think that what he's building in Indiana, again, two or three years ago,
00:57:50we would have been like, you're fucking crazy that they're the number two.
00:57:52Indiana will always be a basketball school.
00:57:55Always.
00:57:56Yeah.
00:57:58What if they win?
00:58:00It's not crazy.
00:58:01It's just – that's not the job.
00:58:03That's Signetti.
00:58:04Well, right.
00:58:05Signetti's doing that.
00:58:05Well, right.
00:58:06But so –
00:58:06But he's going to do that wherever he goes.
00:58:08I don't think he's taking the Penn State job is my point.
00:58:10Yeah, no.
00:58:10Nobody – I don't think anybody –
00:58:11He may not, but I'm just saying I don't trust –
00:58:13Like, oh, I don't believe just because anybody signs anything that you're locked up for anything.
00:58:19Like, I don't trust any of these coaches at all.
00:58:21No, and they all always throw their family in.
00:58:23I know Signetti's done the same thing.
00:58:25But, you know, we'll see.
00:58:26Ev, what's your dynamic duo?
00:58:28Yeah, another coach.
00:58:29Well, my name is College Bowl fans and dream about Nick Saban coaching their football team.
00:58:33It's that time of year.
00:58:34I mean, LSU, you're hearing it.
00:58:35Oh, make him say no.
00:58:36Make him say no.
00:58:37That's the first call.
00:58:37Nick Saban.
00:58:38Florida was the same thing.
00:58:39It's not likely.
00:58:40But make him say no.
00:58:41Make him say no.
00:58:41I don't see it.
00:58:42I don't think he's coming back to football.
00:58:43I mean, I understand the due diligence part.
00:58:45Hey, call him.
00:58:46See what the deal is.
00:58:46He's the greatest College Bowl coach of all time.
00:58:48I get it.
00:58:48But I just don't see it.
00:58:49I think it's funny when every, like, big, big job opens.
00:58:52It's like a Florida LSU.
00:58:53It's like, oh, like, got to call Nick Saban.
00:58:54Got to make him say no.
00:58:56He's going to say no.
00:58:56Urban, too.
00:58:57I mean, Urban gets thrown in that.
00:58:58Like, you got to call him.
00:58:59Saban's like the one, especially all these SEC schools.
00:59:03And they just truly think that they could be the school that brings him back.
00:59:05Yeah, maybe they're like, hey, we throw this amount of money.
00:59:07If we throw this resource, this and that.
00:59:08Maybe he says yes.
00:59:09I don't see.
00:59:10Well, LSU is the only school that could, I think, it would make sense.
00:59:14Because he said on the record that that was the biggest regret,
00:59:17is leaving LSU for the Dolphins.
00:59:18Yeah, but that would just ruin him at Alabama.
00:59:22No, I agree.
00:59:23I'm just saying if you, like, Florida never, I'm not considering it.
00:59:26I'm just saying there's one Nick Saban storyline out there
00:59:30that felt like it ended on a, like, incomplete note,
00:59:35and that would be LSU.
00:59:37And you can't forget, I mean, he's just been out of coaching now for a bit,
00:59:41and he was so good and so long at Alabama.
00:59:43But he's the king of lying right in your face.
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:45Yeah.
00:59:46The most full of shit guy in college football.
00:59:48Maybe he does take a job.
00:59:49Who knows?
00:59:49Yeah.
00:59:50I don't think that he will.
00:59:51I don't think he will either, but I'm just saying LSU's the only one,
00:59:54like, this is the only opening where I'm like,
00:59:56oh, I see where this all kind of fits in.
00:59:58Agreed.
00:59:58Zero percent chance at Florida.
01:00:00Oh, yeah.
01:00:00Zero percent chance at Florida.
01:00:01But Miss Terry says he's not going to, so.
01:00:04Brandon.
01:00:06Yeah, they all lie.
01:00:07Yeah, they all lie.
01:00:08I believe him.
01:00:09Yeah.
01:00:10All right, Sonic top ten.
01:00:11Football fans deserve a better burger.
01:00:14The Sonic Smasher is made with two Angus beef seasoned patties,
01:00:16smashed and seared, crispy on the edges and juicy in the middle.
01:00:18And then it's layered with two slices of melty American cheese,
01:00:21a signature creamy tangy smasher sauce,
01:00:24crinkle cut pickles, diced onions served on a pillowy soft potato bun,
01:00:27the Sonic Smasher, melty, juicy, yet crispy, the perfect burger bite.
01:00:31Go ahead, boys.
01:00:32Get yourself a bite.
01:00:33So we did this earlier in the show,
01:00:35but I guess we're probably going to go back into it.
01:00:37Let's unveil our top ten, our collective top ten.
01:00:41So the APs behind Dan and Brandon.
01:00:43We'll get some tater tots next week.
01:00:45Yeah.
01:00:46I think there's tater tots in the kitchen.
01:00:48So Indiana at number one, Ohio State, A&M, Alabama, BYU, Georgia, Oregon,
01:00:53Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, and Vandy.
01:00:56Indiana at number one, boys.
01:00:58I have Indiana at number one.
01:00:59I have Indiana at one as well.
01:01:01I have Ohio State at one.
01:01:02I'm not going to relitigate it.
01:01:04BYU's fair.
01:01:05I have a big problem with Bama being where it is.
01:01:07Wait, BYU ended up at five after all of that?
01:01:10After all that arguing and yelling?
01:01:13Well, let's get mad at the AP.
01:01:14No, no, we respect BYU more than any show.
01:01:18Yeah, no, and credit to you guys.
01:01:20I'm happy that that's good for all of us.
01:01:22It gives us some credibility in this business.
01:01:25Alabama, I think, is a joke, but I'm not going to relitigate.
01:01:27We did try to tell them that we all had it there.
01:01:29Yeah, but it's funny they ended up at five.
01:01:32I had them at four.
01:01:33Anybody?
01:01:34Me too.
01:01:34Thank you, Big Ev.
01:01:35Big Ev and I, outside of different allegiances, we see the world a lot alike.
01:01:40Like, even though, like, I'll be honest, I don't think Georgia Tech is the fifth best team,
01:01:43but I had them at five because they won all their games.
01:01:45It'll play itself out.
01:01:46Same.
01:01:46Like, I understand that.
01:01:47Yes.
01:01:48You can only play the games on your schedule.
01:01:49I had both teams in the top ten as well.
01:01:51Yeah, I mean, I think there's nothing wrong with this, right?
01:01:54Nobody has an issue?
01:01:55Um...
01:01:56Again, Alabama's too high with that glaring loss.
01:02:01I think Oregon's too high.
01:02:03Where do you have Alabama, Dave?
01:02:06I have them below the BYU and below Georgia Tech, so I had them at six, I believe.
01:02:11Okay.
01:02:12Yeah, I think Oregon's too high.
01:02:12But it's a big difference.
01:02:13Like, to me, I have a clear differentiation between my top four.
01:02:18Five.
01:02:19Top four.
01:02:19Uh, top five, excuse me.
01:02:21They're all undefeated.
01:02:23Correct.
01:02:24Yeah.
01:02:24Okay.
01:02:25Brandon, you're rolling your eyes over there.
01:02:28It's the same fight we have all the time, so there's no reason to have it.
01:02:31Like, Alabama's just flat out a better team than Georgia Tech and just lie and say, oh,
01:02:36Georgia Tech.
01:02:37Like, whatever.
01:02:38Uh, what's Brandon's record in picking games and deciding who's better on this program
01:02:43the last couple years?
01:02:44Not really.
01:02:44Not really.
01:02:45I won a couple years ago.
01:02:46Oh, it is relevant.
01:02:46I won a couple years ago.
01:02:48It seems better.
01:02:482019.
01:02:49Small sample size.
01:02:51Small sample size.
01:02:52You got your crypto.
01:02:53I mean, nobody has been more wrong on this panel consistently than you.
01:02:57I don't think that's accurate.
01:02:58This team's just not as good.
01:03:00I don't think that's accurate.
01:03:01Well, you're dead ass wrong.
01:03:01I don't think that's accurate at all.
01:03:03But, Brandon, you know what is accurate?
01:03:06Next week.
01:03:07Let me tell you something before you announce this.
01:03:09I need, I need everybody on board right here.
01:03:12I need, and I already see the smirk over there.
01:03:14I need everybody.
01:03:15We ain't playing with this bullshit now.
01:03:18We're not playing bullshit.
01:03:19Let's go down there.
01:03:20Let's have a good time.
01:03:22Let's have a good ass time.
01:03:23Tell everybody what you're talking about.
01:03:24It's a great lawyer you're talking about.
01:03:25Tell everybody what you're talking about.
01:03:26Now, you know what?
01:03:28Dave, why don't you tell them where we're going next week?
01:03:30We're going to Starkville.
01:03:32Stark Vegas.
01:03:33Now, it is a noon kick.
01:03:37Mississippi State hosting Georgia Bulldogs.
01:03:39Yep.
01:03:42I've been told we're already having a hotel problem.
01:03:44That's not, that's not, that's not.
01:03:46Which is stalking.
01:03:47It's too hard.
01:03:47For this rant that you did where you had Dillingham on here, made him apologize to you.
01:03:52See, he's doing the bullshit.
01:03:52And then we're hearing there's no hotel.
01:03:55He's doing the bullshit.
01:03:56But he is.
01:03:56Who's doing the bullshit?
01:03:57He is right.
01:03:58I understand that you and Dan are going to have great hotels.
01:04:01I, I, this is, listen, I said I'd sleep outside.
01:04:04I'm excited for this trip.
01:04:05We're going to Starkville.
01:04:06I'm excited.
01:04:07I like Starkville.
01:04:08We're going to book hotels two years out.
01:04:10We're told to avoid scheduling.
01:04:12We're going to eat at Anthony's.
01:04:14It's going to be delicious.
01:04:15Or maybe the guest room.
01:04:16I don't know.
01:04:16I haven't decided.
01:04:17I do love the guest room.
01:04:18I made giant reservations for both.
01:04:19You did?
01:04:20Yeah.
01:04:20I probably shouldn't have said that out loud because one of them will get mad.
01:04:22But, uh, yes.
01:04:24We're going.
01:04:25We're going to Starkville.
01:04:26I'm excited.
01:04:27I just, I, you on the record, I do, I, I don't want pink eye.
01:04:31If I don't have pink eye, I'm going to have a great time.
01:04:32You're not getting pink eye.
01:04:33Great.
01:04:33I never, ever thought we were going to go to Starkville.
01:04:37No.
01:04:38I'm going to guarantee you right now you don't get pink eye.
01:04:40Do I need to wear, like, a scuba mask?
01:04:41No.
01:04:42You're going to say, I guarantee you, you have a good time.
01:04:46I guess, depending on that, the bar is different for every school.
01:04:50No, stop.
01:04:51I don't think so.
01:04:51If that's the bar, if that's the bar, if that's the bar at Starkville.
01:04:55This is all you ever talked about.
01:04:56No.
01:04:57Dave, I'm going to, yeah, if I don't get pink eye, I will come back with glowing reviews.
01:05:02That's a win.
01:05:02All I know.
01:05:03That's a dub.
01:05:03And by the way, people are going to say that I'm doing this like the fucking brain.
01:05:06Listen, all I know is the only guys I know who have ever gone to Starkville to visit for
01:05:12a game day are Caleb, Hank, Busboy Benny, and the whole crew for the Dixie Tour.
01:05:19They all got pink eye.
01:05:20They were there for, like, one day.
01:05:22What were they doing?
01:05:23I don't know.
01:05:24Don't holler at me.
01:05:25What were they doing?
01:05:26I just, that's all I know.
01:05:27I have personal friends who've went.
01:05:29I guarantee you have a good time.
01:05:33You will have a good time.
01:05:33I guarantee no pink eye.
01:05:34You're all going to eat great food.
01:05:35You're going to be around great people.
01:05:37And no pink eye.
01:05:38It's going to be amazing.
01:05:38If I get pink eye, it'd be so fucking good.
01:05:40It's going to be amazing.
01:05:41Don't try to get pink eye.
01:05:42I might try to get pink eye.
01:05:44When is the last time a college football show made it to Starkville?
01:05:47Oh, it hadn't been that long.
01:05:49We've had major games in Starkville.
01:05:51I'm sure under Mike Lease, we went 9-4 a couple years ago.
01:05:54There was probably SEC Nation or something.
01:05:56Game day was 2014.
01:05:58We've had game day once.
01:05:59So where are we going to be in Starkville?
01:06:00We're going to be at the amphitheater where...
01:06:03Why are you standing up?
01:06:04Because he was trying to leave.
01:06:04I don't know.
01:06:05He was trying to leave.
01:06:07I don't know at all.
01:06:08We're going to be at the amphitheater where the students tailgate right outside.
01:06:11The stadium has the junction behind it with all the tailgate tents.
01:06:15You cross one street, you're right there at the amphitheater.
01:06:17We're going to be in the shadow of the stadium.
01:06:18Are you going to be like the Beatles?
01:06:19We're going to be between...
01:06:20Well, I mean, I went last week and it was fun and it was great,
01:06:24so they're probably tired of seeing me.
01:06:26But, yeah.
01:06:26Stingray Steve 2.0.
01:06:29Dave, I swear...
01:06:30Brandon, we're going to Starkville.
01:06:34That's all you wanted.
01:06:35They're tired of seeing me.
01:06:36I swear to fucking God.
01:06:37But that's all you've wanted this entire time was to go to Starkville.
01:06:39Six years I've been wanting to go to Starkville.
01:06:41I understand.
01:06:42Six years.
01:06:42And we're going.
01:06:43That leaves only Casey.
01:06:44That leaves only A&M.
01:06:45Yes.
01:06:46That is true.
01:06:46We were actually supposed to be there for that seven overtime game,
01:06:49but we went to Columbus instead.
01:06:51Are you excited?
01:06:52I am excited.
01:06:53I'm nervous.
01:06:54I'm excited.
01:06:54Yeah.
01:06:55Don't...
01:06:55Hey.
01:06:55Y'all got to be on your best behavior.
01:06:56Dave, don't turn this into bullshit.
01:06:58Don't just shit on me and shit on Starkville.
01:07:00Don't just...
01:07:01Everybody be on their best behavior.
01:07:02Why are you looking at me?
01:07:02I'm literally...
01:07:03Because you're such a delight in Ann Arbor when we go.
01:07:07Oh, that's a good point.
01:07:08It is.
01:07:08Oh, man.
01:07:09I'm not.
01:07:09That made him sit down.
01:07:10Don't look at me.
01:07:11Hey.
01:07:11Our transaction is as simple as it could get.
01:07:15Just no pink eye.
01:07:15No pink eye.
01:07:16I also...
01:07:16I love Starkville.
01:07:17Fine.
01:07:17You're fine.
01:07:18I'm not worried about you.
01:07:19Dave, in Ann Arbor, I'm just playing my role.
01:07:21You know that.
01:07:22That's all I'm doing.
01:07:24Well, what am I supposed to do?
01:07:26Be...
01:07:28Ed, are you excited to go to Starkville?
01:07:30I told Brandon I'm very excited.
01:07:31I got you.
01:07:32I can't wait.
01:07:32I got you a pizza list.
01:07:34Don't you?
01:07:35Oh, you better hope that pizza's good.
01:07:36Brandon's going to roll up the red carpet for us.
01:07:38I think there had to be some good stuff, some good pizza and Starkville.
01:07:43This is going to be a head-patting mess.
01:07:44This is...
01:07:45Yeah, this is going to be...
01:07:46This is going to be very tough.
01:07:47Anyways...
01:07:48Listen, I'm excited to go.
01:07:51I am, too.
01:07:51I am, too.
01:07:52All right.
01:07:52Bye, Brandon.
01:07:52I was excited when I got the news.
01:07:54I just...
01:07:54Pink guy.
01:07:56You're not going to...
01:07:56Ain't no goddamn pink guy.
01:07:58I know.
01:07:59I'm hoping there won't be.
01:08:00And that's a Brandon Walker guarantee.
01:08:03Listen, imagine if I got it.
01:08:05Imagine.
01:08:06Oh, my God.
01:08:07We'll see you guys next week.
01:08:08In Starkville, hopefully no pink guy.
