00:00We're going to start our spread lines with game number one,
00:02Rice and Texas State, one o'clock start.
00:04That's the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.
00:07The line opened up, Joe, right around nine or so
00:10as a favorite for Texas State.
00:12I'm seeing 17 and a half crossing over.
00:14Did Rice forfeit this game, Joe, in a total of 55 and a half?
00:18What the heck's going on here?
00:19What's that spread line?
00:21No, you know, Donnie, this is a very interesting game
00:24given what we know about college football thus far.
00:27Because don't forget, Rice only won five games this year.
00:31They have no business being in a bowl game.
00:33But the problem is, Iowa State and Kansas State
00:37couldn't put it together because they lost their coaches
00:39and wrote a $500,000 check just not to play Texas State in this game.
00:45So Rice says, heck yeah, we'll play another football game.
00:48Why not?
00:49Problem is, they won't have their starting quarterback, Chase Jenkins,
00:53or a few other guys for that matter.
00:55In the meantime, Texas State looks fully intact.
00:58This was pretty much the team that we watched during the year
01:02rattle off five straight wins to end it.
01:04That is why they're a big favorite here.
01:07But you tell me, Donnie.
01:08I mean, how is Rice is happier than anything
01:11to be playing an extra football game?
01:14If Michigan and the disaster they had to go through,
01:18and they could have easily wrote a check not to play Texas,
01:20if they played in the game, what is your excuse,
01:24Kansas State and Iowa State exactly, Donnie?
