00:01what do you want to have happen with dylan larkin one of the things we're talking about today
00:05and it's also a wednesday and on wednesdays we do the college football blitzing
00:25heads or tails gator tails it is a tail do you want to receive or defer i will receive
00:35all right gator question number one pick a sleeper a team that's 10 to one or longer
00:40to win the national title okay i'm gonna go with pit they are 1200 they are plus 1250
00:50125 000 to one is is what they are despite the fact that they are five and oh on the
00:55season
00:56the reason they dropped significantly is because they lost their starting quarterback last year
01:00last week to a season-ending acl injury however please remember the name holden garriner
01:09he is the backup and he's actually played a significant amount of snaps so far this year
01:13he's almost thrown 30 passes and he's completed them at a high rate takes care of the football
01:18been around football for a minute had a stop at auburn for several years and i think texas state
01:24may have been the other one uh i i i like the way that he was able to keep the
01:29thing together last
01:29week against virginia tech on the road uh so yeah i think uh if i'm forced to go into this
01:35situation i love why not go for a long shot and go with the darn dog you you you have
01:40a term a saucy
01:41call that is a saucy call my friend uh i'm gonna go with a team that's 40 to one and
01:46before last
01:47weekend we're a really strong candidate i'm gonna go with florida missouri was a disaster for them okay
01:52but they put up 96 points against auburn and old miss in the two weeks prior they have two ranked
01:58teams left so i think they have a great chance to make the playoffs and jaden ball may win the
02:02heisman they're outstanding running back so yeah they dropped to 41 after the missouri disaster but
02:08i think florida has the material that they could make that the anomaly and get the train back on
02:13the tracks all right i'm gonna take oregon 22 to 1 they were preseason ranked number two in the
02:17country and they had an early hiccup against oklahoma state obviously dante more has got to be healthy
02:22but he is practicing this week so that's a good sign he has all the skill in the world hopefully
02:25he is
02:26healthy and i think dan landing's a good coach i'll take oregon
02:31all right sticking with the sleeper questions give me a player who's 10 to 1 or longer to win
02:35the heisman so i'm gonna go with a guy who might be the quarterback on the best team which it
02:40could be a safe bet that the quarterback on the best team becomes a heisman candidate
02:4430 to 1 gunner stockton the quarterback at georgia especially if they beat bama on saturday
02:51uh that feels like a decent play just to look at the quarterback and one of the better teams if
02:57you're going to take a long shot and it really comes down to team success i see that and i
03:03actually
03:03consider gunner stockton but i decided to go a couple notches below go with a quarterback playing
03:09on a team that has a chance to be the best team in the country and it's 35 to 1
03:13long shot julian
03:14sand the quarterback of ohio state he's been fantastic now in order for him to do this all
03:21right they've got some big games upcoming they play uh against a couple ranked teams still including
03:25oregon which is going to be a big game uh of course the game at the end of the season
03:29for them is always
03:30one that people like to make a statement on but what he really has to do aside from continue to
03:35play
03:35this ridiculously high level where he's completing 73 percent of his passes and he's got a 13 to 1
03:40touchdown interception rate is he's going to have to find targets other than jeremiah smith
03:45who will win the heisman trophy but if he can find targets outside of his number one wide receiver
03:50and start compiling stats that way in addition to utilizing the best player in college football
03:56he'll have a chance to be the heisman trophy winner although splitting votes is probably not not the
04:02best way to look at it long shots gator your way off it's ohio state quarterback julian saying i
04:07totally agree 35 to 1 odds you just read off some of the stats 13 touchdowns one interception
04:12he's got over 1500 yards passing this quarterback rating is 191.8 he's got to keep piling up the
04:19numbers obviously it helps if your team is good but this is the heisman you don't have to be on
04:23the
04:23national title team you got to put crazy big numbers and it helps that if you're on a good team
04:28but i agree i think it's saying if i'm picking a long shot
04:33okay forgive me if i pronounce this incorrectly but tropical storm isaias is picking up steam through
04:38the gulf of mexico and it's tracking could be could impact the alabama georgia saturday night game
04:43should the sec consider moving it up to friday night or moving it back to sunday or just play the
04:48game as is in a tropical storm okay this is the game everybody wants to watch and it's it's not
04:55even
04:55in the middle of the season and we get this marquee match up with georgia and alabama i can't wait
04:59to
04:59see it i do not want this game ruined by a tropical storm and if you've got the opportunity
05:06to move it you're getting ahead of it right now move the damn game get out of the weather and
05:11whichever day is going to be better let's assume it's a friday because i don't want to compete with
05:15the nfl although ironically i think 70 of these guys could be playing on sundays at some point anyway
05:21because they're playing at georgia and alabama i want this game friday night i want it friday night
05:27at 7 p.m i want to be the marquee matchup on friday night because they've got two other pretty
05:31good matchups on friday night uh you've got uh is iowa is at washington and then you have i think
05:38iowa state is at uh byu there's some good games on friday night but they don't start until nine o
05:43'clock
05:44put georgia bama on at seven o'clock i will be locked in so we all agree the sec is
05:50kind of soft um
05:52and so if it is anything less than a hurricane or lightning dangerous conditions play it in the
05:57rain uh because that's what we would do here in b1g territory we play games and conditions hurricanes
06:02but well i said unless it's a hurricane or there is lightning if it's a mere tropical storm although
06:07i guess those can be dangerous as well but if they are going to move it i agree friday night
06:11would be
06:12awesome at a seven o'clock start can you imagine though telling those two coaches hey we're going to
06:17start the game a day early would would you come over and watch the game at my house on friday
06:21night
06:22i'd consider you can bring the boys uh well i want to be home right you just mean all my
06:29boys
06:29no i'm just all right dirty mike and the boys um i would just keep it scheduled unless the
06:36meteorologist suggests moving okay the storms change paths and severity all the time there's a lot
06:41actually going on this weekend there's a huge concert i think president's coming in there's just a lot
06:44going on they want to probably keep it on saturday as much as possible people like to rip meteorologists
06:50all the time but it's a really hard thing to do it's they're tasked with basically predicting the
06:53future and i trust them more than some random dude with a weather app if they say keep the game
06:57until
06:58otherwise stated keep the game on saturday hey outdoor games mean outdoor conditions possibly and i
07:04agree with you doug unless it's a hurricane or there's lightning play in the rain check out paul gross over
07:12here i'm i'm a random guy with a weather app don't trust me trust them okay all right should
07:17cooler heads prevail or should we stop having signetti derangement syndrome or is it fair to
07:23expectations for new coaches to win big right away so national writers are talking about how they're
07:28discovering that everyone who's not undefeated is angry fan bases are in fire everyone mode all the time
07:34and look i'll offer up a team that's emerged as a true national championship contender that all the
07:39fan base did was bitch and moan about the coach the last two years and that's alabama the first two
07:45years of caitlin debore uncomfortable man and he lost more games at bama in his first two years than
07:51nick saban did in his final five years and that had everybody irate but look at bama now they look
07:58great sometimes you got to let things incubate a little bit and yeah signetti did it one way but it's
08:05not the only way so i i think yeah people need to chill a little bit i think for the
08:10most part it's
08:11totally unfair to expect some sort of a signetti season i mean it's it's actually quite ridiculous
08:18to expect that kind of a season because think of everything that has to go right for you first of
08:22all you have to hire the right coach and last i googled kurt signetti he's really good go ahead and
08:29google
08:30yourself but beyond that then you have to have the perfect storm of okay what does your schedule look
08:35like is your schedule going to lighten up a little bit is it not all that that uh that tough
08:41okay i
08:41think that kind of worked in signetti's favor at indiana as well are you able to to grab a bunch
08:46of
08:46your former players and actually really good players and they're going to follow you wherever you go
08:50signetti was able to do that good for him uh the other thing is you have to have coffers
08:56money has to be available to you do you have the money to spend on players to make them better
09:04nil
09:04is vastly important in this world as today too so it's not easy to do it some teams have an
09:11easier
09:11path than others uh the indiana thing i think when we're going to look back at it we this is
09:16going
09:16to be a 30 for 30 it's a not it's a statistical enomination for this thing to even happen but
09:23i'm not going to be surprised if it if it happens again in the next five years is it fair
09:28no it's
09:29not fair but when has sports and life been fair with big time money comes big time expectations no
09:33one's patient anymore you pay a big recruit he's got to prove his worth right away same with coaches
09:38same with transfers the window used to be like four years you don't want to play you'd have a player
09:43for four years now like the windows two years it still took signetti two years to win the title
09:47and i don't care it was indiana if indiana can do it people other well else elsewhere are going
09:54to expect their schools to be able to do it too momentum is building around the idea of supporting
09:59an expanded 24 team playoff it's a deadline that they have a decision to make whether to expand the
10:04college football playoff to from 12 teams to 24 for uh december 1st is when they're expecting a
10:10decision are you warming up to the idea i'm getting beat down on this one man i college football has
10:16changed me and my my thoughts on college football over the last few years i i don't like the nil
10:22world
10:23i don't like the transfer portal how how much both are being abused i want there to be some guardrails
10:28and yet i do not want congress to get involved with that i really what i want to see is
10:33some contracts so
10:34until i see that i'm going to be against this because i think what this allows for is there's going
10:40to be just players are going to be quitting on their teams getting ready for the pros although you
10:46would think if you're going to add it to 24 teams there are going to be more players that are
10:50apt to
10:50continue on but it also means the death of the bowl system which i grew up on so it's going
10:54to be hard
10:55to get rid of that and the other thing is i love having great football games to watch and the
11:00conference
11:00championship games are great football games to watch and i feel like that's gone to the second they go to
11:0524 teams but if they can figure out contracts for players to so that you know that they're there
11:12from game one of the regular season through the playoffs and then they can transfer after that point
11:19i might be more on board i hate this idea so much you know what's crazy we've had a 12
11:25team playoff
11:26for two seasons that's it two are there major issues with the 12 team playoff like things that
11:36need to change no this is this is really about a tv executive who's running the big 10 trying to
11:42get
11:42his tv partner college football playoff games fox they don't have any college football playoff games
11:47that's what this is about and i can't i can't see a world where you're taking away emphasis of end
11:55of season showdowns like alabama arbor and michigan ohio state and putting it on kansas kansas state
11:59and cal stanford like you're right players are going to sit out some big games teams are going
12:05to ask their players to sit out some big games to get ready for a playoff i just find this
12:09absurd
12:10yeah i'm not warming up to the idea either guys but it's gonna happen i mean they're gonna figure
12:15out a way to make up the money they lose from the conference championship games because of the tv
12:19deals they're gonna work out but like you gator i've kind of personally given up i'm too tired
12:23even fight back um i'm either gonna continue to watch and then wish it was back to the way it
12:27was
12:28or i guess i'm not gonna watch it all but unfortunately for new college football fan
12:32this is just gonna be the norm from them they won't even know any better they're gonna think
12:35it's always 24 teams this is the way it is this is almost just like the nfl because they want
12:39more
12:40games on tv more ways to bet on it more money to roll in so like i said i i'm
12:45not part of the
12:46solution probably because i've i'm not trying to fight back anymore
12:53all right last one guys nebraska you can buy original memorial stadium trough urinals for
12:59three thousand dollars if you were to buy any urinal from your favorite stadium which statement would
13:06be and how much would you pay for it that's right trough urinals
13:15used well they ain't new yeah i would hope they're clean for three thousand dollars
13:23all right because it's if you were to it would be the rose bowl
13:31but maybe 10 bucks at most but under no circumstance can i see myself doing this
13:38all right i'll give it a little bit more of an answer i'll go 200 bucks and i want a
13:42urinal from
13:42joe lewis arena yeah it look that place had a pulse more than a pulse i mean that was a
13:48real
13:48strong that don't smell like pulse no no but it smells like memories smells like memories you
13:55walked into the joe and the joe already had that that fraternity house stale beer smell anyway
13:59it'll mix with the some urine um i don't know i just have memories even when i have memories of
14:06going into the bathroom and the crazy stuff you saw the drunk people in the bathroom i don't really
14:11want to do this but you asked the question so i feel like i have to you don't so i'm
14:15gonna do it
14:16and i'm gonna put it and i'm gonna use it as a planter it's gonna be half planter and half
14:20outdoor
14:21urinal dude i don't want to do this i don't want to i don't want this from any stadium i
14:25i don't want
14:27this from any stadium i would pay nothing for it's disgusting i wouldn't want to use urinal trough
14:32anywhere near my house like so it's a trough so you gotta think no matter what stadium pick it's old
14:37because otherwise i'd pick something from like the palace of auburn hills which is kind of newer
14:40like a more recent stadium that's gone but they didn't have one right not that i know of
14:46so i don't i don't want this it's awful i'll pay you to take it away
14:50three thousand dollars i think it's nuts it's crazy i went to 200 that concludes the college
14:56football blitz thingy we'll get to your dylan larkin calls next what do you want to happen
15:01with dylan larkin that is straight ahead
