00:00Ah, yes. The gigantic nonsense carnival known as college football. Who's hosting this?
00:07I hear you. So I'm going to go through a few things here, but I have to start with this
00:12one here.
00:13I'm going to give a final score from a game on Saturday and then ask Rico, only you, a question.
00:21UCLA 54, Maryland 3. How does Mike Loxley still have a job today on Tuesday, September 29th?
00:32I think simply because there's no point of firing him now. I think he knows he's dead man walking.
00:40He finishes out the season. And if you're the athletic director, you give him the ultimate goal, buddy.
00:46You win the Big Ten or you're fired. Knowing he ain't winning the Big Ten.
00:51Maryland has lost 18 of his past 28 games.
00:57Hey, David, come on, man. There's always hope.
01:00OK, when you back the turtle, when you back the turtle in, that's when they get more powerful.
01:06Slow and steady wins the race.
01:11Sure. Let's move on.
01:13I was asked to say silent. I'm staying out of it.
01:15Let's move on to another school here, because I want to know if they're a fraud here.
01:20And that is Louisville.
01:23They beat SMU in week three, 41 to 31.
01:28Basically, with their schedule, they were right there to win the ACC.
01:32Had everything in front of them.
01:34Gave it right back and lost to Wake Forest on Saturday.
01:38Are they a fraud?
01:39They're not a fraud. Jake Dickert's doing a really nice job at Wake.
01:42I mean, I know nobody cares in a new college football.
01:45You're not allowed to have any incremental joy.
01:48But, like, Dickert's doing a really good job down there.
01:51And he's a damn good football coach.
01:53He won't be there long.
01:54I don't think Louisville's a fraud.
01:56I think they're disappointing.
01:58There's a difference.
02:00Is that fair?
02:01No, I think it is.
02:02I think they're not good enough to overlook teams.
02:06And I think they saw Wake Forest and kind of saw, okay, who do we play next week?
02:12Uh-oh.
02:12You don't get to sleep on Gio Lopez.
02:15Let's keep it moving.
02:16All right.
02:17Mario Lopez.
02:18All right.
02:18One more here about a coach, because it was an upset win on Saturday.
02:23And, Mike, you picked them in the picks.
02:24In fact, you added this game to the college board, because you believed in them.
02:29I did.
02:30Because Penn State is a fraud in your mind.
02:32That's right.
02:32But did Luke Fickle save his job?
02:34Is that why that game was on there?
02:35That's why it was under.
02:36It was my favorite underdog of the week.
02:38Okay.
02:39Okay.
02:39Now, look.
02:40So you sandbagged us.
02:42Okay.
02:42I did.
02:42But what Wisconsin did, let's be fair, I think Spartans could probably learn from this.
02:49They threw money behind Luke Fickle and a major roster upgrade.
02:53They went to the whore market and got some choice escorts.
02:57They did.
02:57So Wisconsin can actually function.
03:00No, Mike, I hate to say it, you're actually right about that.
03:05Wisconsin went out and they got the 38th best transfer class.
03:10They went heavy because they knew it's not working this way.
03:14So here's your final shot.
03:16We're going to hand you the blank checkbook, improve this thing.
03:19And I think Matt Campbell's a doofus.
03:21So anytime I can go against him, winner, winner, chicken dinner.
03:24Yeah, that was a big win for Wisconsin.
03:26Is he James Franklin 2.0?
03:28He's worse.
03:31So I can't stand Matt Campbell.
03:33I hate his defensive scheme.
03:34I think he's a clown.
03:35Just move on.
03:38So Clemson, are they backish?
03:41Lost to LSU in week one, beat Georgia Southern, North Carolina, and at California.
03:46They have a huge game Saturday against Miami at 730 on ABC.
03:51Are they backish?
03:52Who's this?
03:53Clemson.
03:55Oh, boy.
03:55Yeah, the Cal win going out west for that conference game.
03:59It's a big win to go out to the left coast and win.
04:01I'm not ready to say they're back to anything.
04:04They've got to play consistent ball for a long while.
04:09A week ago, you escaped against North Carolina.
04:13Show me a little more.
04:14I still have dirty coveralls from when I buried them years ago.
04:20And you were right to.
04:21Now they're trying to turn into a zombie.
04:24Shoot the zombie in the head.
04:26Sorry.
04:26Clemson, gone.
04:28This program is over.
04:30A little bit of – I saw Dabo slipping, and then also with the whole new age of college football.
04:37He didn't want to embrace it.
04:39But, hey, at least you can look back at the past championships and say, hey, Trevor Lawrence was once our
04:45guy.
04:46That's about it.
04:48So, a once program that we had fun with on this show, Mike, you brought up the cockaboos for the
04:55Gamecocks.
04:55It was fun times for a couple years in South Carolina.
04:59Look out.
04:59But Saturday, they lost 49-18.
05:02It was 35-3 at halftime.
05:04So, the score really wasn't as close at the end, really, that it should have been.
05:09Does Shane Beamer lose his job before Thanksgiving?
05:12Well, okay, you've got a multitude of things.
05:13First of all, the Dylan Stewart thing was one of the most embarrassing things all weekend.
05:17You know, you're paying a kid $4 million or $5 million.
05:19He acts a fool.
05:20He ain't listening to nobody.
05:22He took a swing at somebody.
05:24Beamer, the problem you have is they still owed a guy about $30 million.
05:28I don't know if South Carolina –
05:30Do they have enough to buy him out?
05:30There's the key, because you're going to buy him out for $30 million, and you've got to go put another
05:34$40 million into the roster.
05:36Again, you've got to bring in another coach.
05:39Correct.
05:40David, should he be gone?
05:41Yes.
05:42Willie, he's kind of like Mike Norvell with a better jawline.
05:46They're both just too expensive to buy out, and they're at poverty schools.
05:50Yeah, and you're going to expect it's going to go downhill from here.
05:53Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Texas A&M.
05:56And this ain't the Big Ten.
05:57Yeah.
05:58You don't get any free squares.
05:59The Big Ten is the BOGO Ten.
06:02What are you talking about, man?
06:03Nobody – Iowa?
06:05Who saw that coming?
06:07And then finally, is Jeremiah Smith the best player in college football?
06:11He had two touchdowns and over 1,000 yards in the first quarter.
06:15No.
06:15No.
06:16I think we're going to agree on this.
06:17Ready?
06:18One, two, three.
06:20Camario Taylor.
06:22Camario.
06:22He is the best player.
06:24Now, Smith, you may want to cover him.
06:28You may want to put your best corner on him.
06:30So not letting him go down the seam.
06:31You may not want to have him one-on-one.
06:33You may want to keep a safety over the top no matter what.
06:36When he goes to the bathroom, you're standing outside the stall.
06:39You're waiting on him.
06:41You're just – I felt so bad for that Illinois.
06:44He's like coach.
06:45Well, he turned into Harlan Barnett.
06:47He got turned around like Barry did to him against the Patriots.
06:50My only thing for Jeremiah Smith now, the pressure's on, son.
06:55Be like every other Ohio State receiver and not Marvin Harrison.
06:59Oh, dear.
07:00I have – I know this is college.
07:02David, I watched him last week.
07:05Something's wrong.
07:06I don't know what happened to him.
07:08He's awful.
07:10Awful.
07:12I take Tesla over him.
07:14Oh, boy.
07:14That's saying a lot.
07:15That is your college football blitz.
