Welcome week 12. We're home stretch. Home stretch. Updated standings. I'm at 52.3%. Dave, you're at 51.8%. Rico, you're at 43.2%. The Diaco Trophy is back in not, it's not settled. He both kind of took a victory lap and then he bet on Washington and guess what? Those suckers lost outright to my Badgers. How's everyone feeling? How we doing? It's, it's crazy that we're, we're almost done with college football. Yeah. Yeah. I hate the card again. The last two weeks I've hated the card. Have you been, wait, what was your big bet last week? Uh, I want it. No. Iowa. Yeah. Iowa. I want it with Iowa. Uh, so I did win the, I did win the big one. Um, are you ready? What? I was gonna say, are you ready to admit that BYU is a fraudulent team? No. One loss doesn't make you fraudulent. They got smushed. One loss don't make you fraudulent. Okay. And then you won what? You're saying? No, that law, uh, so that was my biggest. And then my second biggest was Carolina who just fucking blew it. They had total control of the game and Belichick. Maybe, maybe we'll do that. Like, because he coaches, as I said, the week before, like he's in the NFL, he gets wildly conservative. So they were up two scores and gave up two garbage scores. So, uh, but still, yeah, if, as long as I win my big ones, I can't get crushed. Yeah. And, um, yeah, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm kind of just treading water as usual, but yeah, there was a couple of big Iowa. I went big on and Yukon. That was the one I should have, I should have, I should have done money line. Cause I had such a good read on that game. Nailed that spot. I was telling a big cat yesterday. I had, I had maybe my most improbable. It's one of my most improbable wins I've ever had. So I wasn't doing anything. I saw Michigan's playing wake forest. I didn't love the spread. It's 14 and a half. I was like, I'm gonna watch the game. So I put in a big bet on the over one 67 and a half. I watched the first half mission goes berserk in the last six minutes of the, like they must've, scored 30 points in the last six minutes of the half to get it to like where it's at, where I can get out of the bet. It's like, what am I doing? I don't love this game. Let me get out of the bet. I place a bet under one 69 and a half. So I have one 67 and a half over one 69 and a half under game goes to overtime and they're at one 60. Yeah. I believe this game is at one 68 with two and a half minutes. To go and nobody scores for the last two and a half minutes. Mission gets followed with 13 seconds left. Guy goes to the line, hits one, misses the second. So now it's right on the number. The other team comes down, misses to end it lands right on the double winner on a game. I didn't want any part of a middle. Have you ever hit a middle in your life? And that's not even really a middle two points is not really, it's a thread. We need a new term. It's a thread. I was trying to explain to cam, uh, like, she's like, what were the odds of that? I want you going into overtime. I said, I think a million, a one that there's nine, eight to nine points. That's like, when do you score nine points in overtime? And then more so two minutes, no points for the last two minutes. That's unheard of too. Yeah. That's a thread. It was tied at 84 with one 54 left. Like that's if you're watching and you have over one 69 and a half, it's over. Yeah. I could, I just, the only way I could do it is the only scenario is a split free throws, no fouls, no nothing. And, and with 13 seconds left after the, the made free throw miss free throw. Oh, there's a high percentage that they shoot with time that you know, they it all up. They sat there, dribbled, didn't get anything called timeout, six seconds inbounded. It did nothing for five seconds. It was crazy. Yeah. It's those are the type of wins that you just never get. And you have to, you text me instantly. You're like, I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it. Yeah. There's certain gambling wins that make you, uh, they almost make you like a four-year-old who did like an art project. You're like, you got to see this. We got to put, we got to put this on the refrigerator for everyone to see. I can't believe it happened. I, I was just logging in to look at my account. You just over and over. I couldn't believe it. It's that's awesome. Awesome. I mean, the college hoops, we're about to be a feast week, about to get it going. There's nothing better. Roscoe, we got a college hoops report. Well, who's, who's been impressing you? I like Gonzaga a lot. Old, a lot of size. I know they, I know they bet they won by like 40 last night. Yeah, I know, but I have met 45 to one preseason and then, and then, uh, Grant Foster got ineligible. What's he fucking saying? Wash, rinse, rinse, repeat. Come on. I like Gonzaga this year. I think there, it's a good point. I like Gonzaga every year. Yeah. I had BYU last April. I had Bama last April. Those are turning out pretty well. And I got Oregon at a hundred to one. I like my portfolio right now. What do you, what do you have Bama and BYU at? Bama's 25, BYU's 18. Have things changed that much? Bama went to 32. I think they're back down to around 20. So that's. And what do you have them at? 25. Oh, okay. So that's. Like Bama got worse in the summer. I didn't take it again, but 25 was where I was at. So. And what do I have? Okay. So that's, yeah, that hasn't. BYU probably moved down. Okay. So. I had to guess. If you had to guess. So you don't really know when you're like, you like your portfolio, somebody could get your portfolio basically the same, right? That's, that's all I'm asking. Let's see. Well, yeah. No, Gonzaga moved from 45 to 28. Okay. I'm on the right side of that. That's good. Uh, let's see. Uh, get out of the way. Um, BYU at 22, Alabama at 30. So yeah, I guess Alabama is a better price now. So your portfolio, like it's status quo. The way you said it, it's like, I think they were all, all great deals. Yeah. I thought you were about to say BYU, BYU is like six to one now. What is BYU? You didn't say. Yeah, I did. They're, uh, where's BYU? BYU is 22. And what do you have? 18. Okay. But I like where I'm at. I like that I'm in on these guys. Yeah. So that portfolio that I like where I'm at. I got these guys early. I got in like you didn't like two of the three are worse. I thought you were going to say Bama, uh, Gonzaga and BYU were like the three favorites in college basketball. Nah, I just really said that. Like you pulled one over. Well, we'll see. Bama beats Purdue. They're going to, but right. But what anybody could, right. I could get your portfolio right now. Better prices. You could get a discount on my portfolio right now. And I like, I like that I have it. So we'll see. Dave, I know we're getting closer to the end of the year, which means. Rico's contracted. Listen, I'm going for rider of the year. Can I share an anecdote from the meeting we were in yesterday? Yep. We went through, like, next year's big plans and everything that's going on. Like, Dave and myself and, you know, the sales team and some of the numbers guys. And the words, they love Bosco, was said. It was. On the advertisers. Those words were said. They love Bosco. Yeah, it was neutrophil. It was a huge compliment. It was like, we were going through it, and it was like, you know, they love Bosco. There's someone in his house that maybe deserves a commission on that. Bosco, why aren't you excited that I said that? No, you are. Was it just one? What? Was it just one? Yeah, that's the one I heard, yeah. But they said they love Bosco. Like, someone in our sales team. We were getting to that point. There has been no second gift basket has not arrived. It's an in-person thing. Okay. I don't think you want me knowing your keys address. That's true. You'll have me. I mean, everybody has it. Well, yeah, fair enough. I thought this would be a lot more exciting. No, it is. It was good. It was very good. Like, sitting in the meeting, the sales people were like, they love Bosco. The advertisers keep asking for Bosco. Yeah, I appreciate that. And it seems like there's. A few people that are happy working. It's just a matter of don't get too high. Don't get too low. Okay. I think that's been pretty good. Okay. Stick to the plan. Guy. Yeah. You know, you say that, but like, all right, I mean, I mean, what do you want? Don't get too high. Don't get too low misery. Or you want me fucking swinging my fucking dick around. Your dick's not that big. Your dick is not that big. I've seen your dick around like that. One of you have a swung. Your dick. That is not that crazy. Come on. Just saying I'm pretty even keeled. Yeah. Rico. Now Rico thinks he's on meat spin right now. The fuck was that? Don't get too high. Don't get too low. Stick to the plan. Got it. Stick to the plan. All right. I thought that would be big. Should be good. You are. No, it's great. It's great. It's great. I think he knows all that. It should be good. Yeah. So excited for the holidays. So when our negotiations happen in Bosco. The guy's traveling every fucking week. He's on TV. He's got houses. He's dealing with shit. He's fucking running golf tournaments when he, it'd be not, if he calls me this year. I think he'll call me or we'll do it in person. Whatever. I'm waiting for the phone call. When the phone call happens, the phone call happens. He's a busy guy. When's your negotiation, Jack? You want me to count your fucking pockets? I was just asking the question, man. I'm happy for you. I think you've been crushing it. It doesn't sound like that though. It sounds like you're like, oh, here we go. Let's put them in the torture chamber. Like I'm ready for the tour. I think just now is a good time to capitalize. I mean, it was off that meeting. It would be. Yeah. So let's, let's do it. Let's get it. I mean, I'm not, he's not excited. That's the thing. He's not. Oh yeah. Dave. No, I I'm I that's good to hear. It's good to hear what, what the advertisers want Bosco or don't get too high. Don't get too low. All of it. All of it's good to hear. But I mean, he doesn't make minimum wages. It is like, that's, that's what you're supposed to do. That's what we want in this company. Yes. Right. Correct. So it's good to hear. I'm not going to put anybody down. He's sticking to the plan. He's not getting high. He's not getting low. Jackie tables is trying to set them up over there. Fuck. And meanwhile, he's in Germany, right? I got, I got, I got my monologue where I did not take vacations during football season. Right. I got an opportunity. He got an opportunity, Dave. You know that. Yeah. I got my monologue rehearsed. Pretty good. I'm ready for the opportunity. When the opportunity comes, the opportunity, what are you? Luca brought Brasi right now. All right. Give the monologue. Then you want to give the monologue. You said you have it memorized and ready to go on the day of your, of your daughter's wedding. Ask you. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Go ahead. Give it to us. No, it's not. It's, it's a one. I think I deserve the one-on-one. I think it's, I think I deserve the one-on-one. Why don't you just give me like the, the watered down version? Because I, part of the plan, even though you're right of the year is not being like, Hey Dan, what do you, you know, what do you think I can get or what can I get out of them? Like a quote he said is part of my monologue stick to it. And I think I did that. So we'll see how it goes. How have you been rehearsing this monologue? Is it like something like w like a rabbit out of a hat or like, uh, you know, you're going to have a, a card explode. Are you doing any tricks? Just bathroom, bathroom mirror to yourself. Yeah. Just like confidence, practices, rebuttals. You got this. You got this. Yeah. Yeah. I I'm I'm no joke. Dreading this. No, I don't think you should be. Wow. I really don't think you should be. Okay. Good. That's awesome. How would it be? My least favorite part of the, this is my least favorite part of the year. Yes. And that's part of the monologue too. Everyone. Oh, I think, uh, and this is important. I think I, you know, just looking around, like I think I deserve a 45% raise. Oh, okay. Yeah. And that's not a Bosco. There's a lot of 25% raises the delusional culture of this company. Like, well, I, I don't know, like maybe just 30%. All right. What have you done? Well, it's like, you know, I, I, I do this and I do that. It's like, well, if everyone got 30% raises, I think we're out of business. Well, it's, it's one of those things, Dave, and cause obviously the more I've, I've gotten on that side where, you know, we talk about it more. I'm, I'm doing some of it with, with some people here. It's like, I think people just don't, can't conceptualize that like every, everyone is asking for it at the same. So like one person asks for it and they think they're the only person asking for it. And they're like, oh, Dave's rich. What does it matter? They realize every single person is also asking for 25% raise. And then if you do that, there's nothing left and this is deep business, but like I got rich. I sold the company like that. Now we operate trying to break even to make money. Like when I was handing out papers 25 years ago, that's how I got rich. Now we run a company, right? Like nobody in the real world go talk to somebody outside these doors. Like, oh yeah. I walk in and ask for like a 30% raise. Like what? The other, the other thing is if you like the 30% raise, then the net, the year after we were supposed to go 30% again. Yeah. That's what they do. Yeah. Not you Bosco. We're not talking about you. This isn't a Bosco. I mean, you're one of them, but it's not, it's like you're a part of like, but there's an assembly line of Bosco's. This isn't a straight Bosco conversation. It's like we have 30 Bosco's who have rehearsed their speech in front of the mirror, Luca Brazzi style, come and give it walk out. And the next one is just like the Homer Simpson walking in and out with a different person. Every time doing the same well, but it's good to hear an advertiser actually, that is an unusual thing. So that's good. It was awesome. I, I kind of need Millmore to make a, a, a, just an assembly line of, of Bosco's asking for 30% every year. I don't think, I mean, I let's, I mean, the things get clipped and get clarified. Like I don't, that's all right. I don't think I was going in with crazy demand like each. No, no, no. You've had some of the more crazy demands. I mean, let's not forget. You've asked for 30% plus. Yeah. You don't forget. You were getting 30% when I didn't even know it. If you were to call that, all right, but we're in a good spot. Sales team says they want more Bosco. That's just, that's a fact that I heard that in my, with my own two years. It was awesome. I was like, I kind of did a little fuck. Yeah. Let's go Bosco. Um, what this feels like this went, what do you know? It's good. This was not a direct attack on Bosco. No, it's a positive for Bosco. Yeah. I think he, he, you've both said a quote that struck really well and it's like, don't get too high. Don't get too low. Stick to the plan. Yeah. A different way. Yeah. What's the other swing? My cock around. What quote? I'm saving it for the model. I can't give everybody everything. We'll see how it goes. Oh man. What? Yeah. I'm going to go with the ride of the year. yeah that's i think actions yeah yeah actions greater than ask part of the plan also that's a founding building block so we'll see did you hear what i said about the monologue though we could maybe do a pay-per-view the negotiation that could be what what what i'm that's actually dave that's no i know it never it would never work but like imagine if you did a paper because we our fans are very invested in in this company and they like you know the ins and outs imagine if you did like a apprentice style boardroom pay-per-view of everyone's negotiations and you tell everyone if you opt i love it i'd love to i'd love to say it's the best it was a tv show that everyone would watch if you opt in on it you get part of the the pay-per-view our fans would be so disgusted you by these pitches that i hear they it would infuriate them they'd be like these guys live on fucking mars but but if you are if you do it in front of the cameras uh you then get a piece of the pay-per-view no other company do people come in it's like well i had to get like a new fence in my house so like you know that costs 20 grand so i'm thinking 20 there inflation's here like you know i work hard so maybe like a 72 percent raise oh our crowd would go bananas to clarify i was not the fence guy no i know i'm just i want that you haven't given you i'm just saying like the things we hear the just raises are like crazy i don't know dan i would say you it's probably a good thing that you have no idea like where i'm at with that yeah i'd say so i mean i know i have a i can i can have a pretty good guess knowing you for a very long time pretty much to the scent what it's gonna be but yeah i also you're never gonna escape i think they underestimate our pay scale probably by like 50 to 60 percent like i whenever i see people guessing it's like you're not even fucking close to what we pay here yes yes people yes it's it's usually very very off on the low end yes yeah they think it's way lower no i'm not saying that's a bad thing i i think i don't think you're gonna ask for the for insane um i think it was probably around 15 it's probably gonna go down after i said the 15 thing yeah it's part of the pitch we'll see okay is a move to chicago in that pitch i'd love to have you here we love having you here sundays are great when you're here and i'll say go ahead yeah the people in the locker room obviously know what halted the portal last year every day is a battle work through that but you don't let that again people in the locker room know what halted the portal last year i understood that what does that mean that's that's the i don't know i gotta get moving to chicago is that what that means yeah that's not you don't have to this is again the jack just fucking like dave doesn't need to worry about the fucking day-to-day here we go just ask the fucking it gets dark no box go back what literally just because i literally think chicago has is better with you here that was not i understand part of the pitch geico was a problem in the porter by the way this just reminded me i'm just gonna do a quick plug here i know we don't plug other shows on this show but house call with terry and jerry if you ever want to watch two guys make zero sense for 30 minutes and talking all code words it is one of my favorite shows out there they they they they they they literally max had to ask set his backs was a guest last week he's seven minutes in he's like are we recording right now because like none of this conversation is anyone can follow it it's great so yes people like it jack a couple of weeks ago jack on the social email i'm told that show have one of the top clips yes yeah so it reminded me of it because you just said the people in the locker room know what happened with the portal and and anyone listening is just like what did he just say right well that's how i operate that's how i operate so but answer jack's question yeah definitely definitely definitely considering the portal every day is a battle but again if like you don't make it of like cry if i'm if i'm not out there bury your head and be a miserable fuck walking around like oh they got this and i don't got that like okay how do i make the best of it i'm involved in the mix i get to go out there great i'm gonna kill the streams i'm gonna

load management guy in streams he had a real bad monday night real bad monday night i've never actually seen someone jump off sides he jumped off sides multiple times they were at like the packers and the eagles were just you know a punt fest they would they would line up to go for it on like fourth and four at midfield and he would be like oh my god i can't believe they're going for it and then it'd be a delay again because they're punting he just kept on doing that it's like he was he was like oh for six on takes so there's a lot it looks like he's getting a brandon too i think dave loves that though like he he's no i like me phil he just it was it's good i mean it's yeah i get it that's his job but i told him this existence oh i've heard that as well uh yeah i think it's healthier if i only talk to him if i have to no like but even if you have like he like he's just air you're like the that what's his face you're doing that you're doing yeah he's doing his old thing where like two dogs see each other at the park but they don't actually make eye contact they kind of just do the side eye thing is that why do you hate him so much he's just a habitual line stepper but what does that mean gotcha culture like you know i mean you know it's just i don't know it is what it is it's he know like he he's just poking it's it's tough but you like i get those phrases like a habitual line stepper you've been known to like sprint past a couple lines and you're that's accurate that's that's very accurate i think meek is funny i just was saying two nights in a row he the second night he ran out of gas he was great on sunday then he ran out of gas he just started he started throwing up shots i said to him so this isn't like me talking i said to him i was like he was having a tony snell night he was just sitting on the couch he's throwing up shots missing everything so um but so you so rico is he like is he your number one right now probably yeah i mean i interact with him a lot too that's the part of it yeah i heard you don't even put on your um headphones on on pick central because you don't want to hear him talk no that's not true oh okay so you're you could converse with him it's just a lot what did he do that was the most annoying thing in the last like week and a half uh i don't know i don't know it's probably at the streams i'll be honest i don't know it's a lot just adds up okay do you want to talk some college football i'd love to do you want to do some hypotheticals that probably won't happen but we can just argue about for a second yeah i saw them talking about wake up barstool what if uh or what's the motive i there's a hypothetical everyone's floating out there obviously listen the big 10 winning the big 10 championship is a big deal but if ohio state and indiana are both undefeated there's a shot they still both get um home games is what t-bob and brandon were kind of floating this morning like the loser of the big 10 wouldn't fall further than well no they wouldn't get home games because in the first it's only the first round that is uh at home well they would i'm sorry they would get a you're right they would get a buy they would still get a buy yeah they so and you saw it last year with oregon they were the one and i know they re you know they don't reseed this year they truly seed but oregon kind of got screwed with that draw being the one overall i'm not like i don't know it's just what it's what are you saying they t-bob and brandon brought it up i said that's interesting like though you haven't even gotten to it it's not it's not the worst thing whoever loses the big 10 like how motivated are they in that big 10 championship game don't get me wrong winning the conference is a big deal but you might actually be in the just as good of a situation not be in the overall one seed that's what they're floating because you mean you you would run into a power school before instead of like a one of the little guys uh no you would just still have you'd still have the buy i don't know it was their idea it kind of made sense i still don't know what the idea is you've expressed whatever they were saying unless they're just morons i don't i don't know what you've i don't know what the point was why would you want to lose the big 10 why would you want to lose the big 10 to not lose it it's just the big 10 championship game they don't have the most motivation for that game they're both going to be in a situation where they could both get a buy so it's like losing that game's not the worst thing in the world are you saying they're gonna interesting they're gonna sit guys not sit guys i think they want i think people want to win the big 10 so do i so do i okay what's uh what's another one that you got that was a good that was a good talk i don't know what the hell that was still confused where the team no i got no other hypotheticals do you think that you agree with i don't know what the hell that was i agree with the i are you saying that they're gonna sit both teams they're gonna sit guys and it's so they're gonna not try not not try it's just i guess it's not a hypothetical it's just like if they're both good the outcome doesn't matter as much as it used to that that you needed to win that to get the buy the way the true seating is now these two used to we've only been doing this a year two that was literally one year that you could the outcome all right yeah all right it used to be the outcome didn't matter at all because the i mean the you could not be in the 14 playoff so it's not the same as last year they like last year yes it's not that they liked it it's just i don't know okay they're they're the crux of it is that indiana and ohio state both make the big 10 they both still could get a buy coming out what is this i don't know what this is can i write i just got sent this mid conversation met bosco today at the st john's game and heard some concerning

another day i'm prepared to do it i'm mentally stronger than there is that's i mean that guy this guy doesn't sound like a true rider yeah he is but that's like and then you're taking that oh you know who this is i i somewhat recognize the face oh all right i mean well so you were having wartime conversations of the concourse we can't be having those in public i was having conversations with fans

have no idea i have no fucking idea at that point you remember everything about this yeah there was no direct i mean there was no direct whatever dude that was you did you had a crazy good memory there for the entire conversation and then that fair the guy's also not going to incriminate himself did he probably are there people all the time like yo whatever you need man like fuck they do fuck this fuck yeah but this yeah whatever you say whatever you say all right let's see all right so then i did it dan i'm i'm just i did it i fucking did it i'm actually again i did it can i just say something real quick just as a side i'm a little upset that i wasn't also giving these orders a guy tries to be a rider and they're just not getting the orders are not getting to me there are no orders well you saw a guy at the msg and he gave him orders that's a that's a boss don't cover his mouth eating popcorn be like meek phil no there's a lot of guys who want to move up the ranks too like that guy said he's very eager to go like he's you know i don't know who he was i don't follow him he's not on my radar like he what do you want me he's doing something and now move up who'd he message austin you that's what these guys do they get a little wild and i got two guys that i relay the messages to if they get a little nuts calm the fuck down hey you're getting on the radar for the wrong reasons like calm down it's a pyramid it's me two guys and then everybody else meek phil's in trouble okay how many other people have you told that like meat phil's in your crosshairs in public i mean jack if you watch the content you probably figure it the fuck out jack i know you don't like him but like did this kid just walk up and say can i get a photo and you're like meek phil's done soon no no that's not what i'm sure that's your fucking wet dream but no that's not what happened shoving his face with popcorn meek phil take him out the guy's like hey how do you think bama played

off your first order all right rico back to the hypothetical you were saying i think what you're trying to say if i can help you is that there is a world where the conference championship games might not mean anything yes and we're going towards that world and they're gonna have to figure it out well yeah that that's ryan day saying he wants to devalue the michigan game because they can't beat michigan i still come from a school where winning the big 10 is a huge deal and will always matter um and and so yeah other than that like i don't think the sec is doing their game right now greg sankey said he wanted 18 he thinks eight teams should be in from the sec which is crazy i think eight teams yeah eight teams he was like i talked to some committee members they think missouri and tennessee should be in there that's nuts nuts he's gotta obviously play the game but it's it's pretty ridiculous eight teams i think it's pretty much it's it's pretty much set though there's gonna miami was crazy to see that high why they went up three spots yeah i didn't yeah i guess all right well what do you mean you guessed they went up three spots yeah what's the i don't know i didn't i didn't expect it but they only went up three spots and it's because the other there's other teams that they lost right because the acc is such a mishmash i did not expect miami to be virginia louisville and iowa all lost right they needed miami got the breaks it needed yeah yeah i didn't think anything of of my you realize miami at i think you're getting confused in they're in the bracket because they have to predict who the highest acc team is not because they're going to win the acc oh i know yeah acc has still walker walker laid out a scenario i don't think it'll necessarily happen but they could get shut out i don't i that scenario makes no sense to me because the people who have thrown out the scenario you're basically saying then duke would win out and you don't think that they would rank duke pretty high they would duke would climb if they if they won out that's the whole duke theory of like a four loss duke team will not be high enough ranked to get into the college of all playoff i completely disagree with that because duke would have to beat good teams including possibly georgia tech or someone else good in the acc championship game which would then jump whoever that we're talking about in this scenario it depends depends what happened they would have to beat virginia this week which is a top 25 team north carolina wake forest those you know wake forest is a pesky team they're talking about at the barber shop and then they'd have to win the acc championship game you i don't think they would have to win the acc championship game they would definitely raise them in the rankings from that yeah probably it will all figure itself out i think i mean michigan's got like you got the michigan in the usc where they're still alive michigan's alive yeah yeah do you think michigan michigan i'm very worried this week very worried all right let's get to the tough game because that's the first game hey pick them listeners we're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners it's fran from chicks in the office the weather is getting cooler and abercrombie's fall drop has everything i need for the season the best-selling anf sloan taylor pant is a closet staple for me i'm always wearing it to work events happy hour anytime i want to be a bit more dressed up and the viral dylan dress is easy one and done perfection but my fall uniform will always be denim paired with a henley sweater a bra free top it's comfortable effortless it just never fails find your fall capsule at abercrombie shop in the app online and in stores all right now back to the episode okay let's do it dave because we're going to be at that game we're doing uh big noon michigan at northwestern at wrigley what is the current line because 12 and a half i think well let me just pull it up yeah the um we're excited for this it's going to be fun you're going to have dave you're doing uh you're bad doing batting practice on friday yep yeah i'd love to go gotta work i don't know what yeah it's work i mean i have those pre-game meetings i don't know what they said in the thing i have a call at noon like wear the jersey i don't know what the hell that means oh i mean maybe when we when when we did this stuff the northwestern game like week three they gave us jerseys but i don't know why would a northwestern jersey no a cubs jersey like oh but but oh i don't know why they would have brought that but this could be fun i'm excited i've been to a couple games at wrigley for football it's it's good they do a pretty good job and uh the the murphys location so if you want to come out we're doing the barstool college football show then the big noon show outside of murphy's in the parking lot there it's going to be a great time you know tailgate at a bar then come on over it's going to be a great and i think it's gonna be like 65 degrees perfect perfectly all day yeah michigan alum sluggers friday night that turns sluggers into ricks buy tickets all money goes to the nil i this game i hate yeah i'm i i think there's a chance like this is one of those northwestern's not horrible i bet on them a couple times they've been good um they've covered for me they're solid michigan has at times looked good at times looked very bad uh i i i am not going to bet the game because i was betting it truth serum i take northwestern i think i just want to escape with the win here that's my only my only goal in life don't stub your toe these next two weeks we got maryland and then put game pressure on ohio and who knows you who knows you beat ohio at home and at arbor and we know they got a problem playing us you get in the playoff so but we got to get through this week i'm very nervous maybe they surprise me and blow this team out i don't know but i'm not expecting it yeah northwestern's definitely uh frisky underdog and this will be this will unfortunately for northwestern i mean they don't really have a home advantage right now anyway because they play in a in a soccer stadium this will be all michigan all michigan all michigan i went to the ohio state northwestern game last year is all ohio state yeah this is gonna be all michigan uh i'm gonna take the over this game 41 and a half i think northwestern can move the ball a little bit and they can and they will yeah so i'm gonna take the over 41 and a half and this is gonna sound really stupid um and i understand this sounds really stupid but when they play a football game at wrigley the field just looks a little smaller so you have less less distance to go to get to the game so i'm gonna take the over this game 41 and a half i think it's the same it's 100 yards but in my head it looks smaller so yeah i i know this sounds dumb but i'm that's i think you can score points it's like soft rims rico uh yeah it's 11 and a half i'm gonna take northwestern plus the 11 and a half i agree with everything dave's gonna say it's gonna be ugly um dave said what he did already say it dave said everything dave's gonna say everything dave said everything dave said yeah uh northwestern plus the 11 and a half i agree michigan's just gotta get out of the wind you watch them they offense very stagnant at times um and it's crazy because underwood you feel like just let them air it out they won't do it i'll take northwestern plus the 11 and a half do we have an injury report on donald mccully he left last game they need him let's find that the interesting thing dave is that michigan has conference loss they obviously lost to usc yeah but they lost to oklahoma that doesn't hurt them in the big 10 if they beat ohio state and oregon also has one i'm interested what that michigan if they went out i think it was the big 10 championship most likely but oregon's in that mix also with one conference law so that's where it gets very interesting so what ohio state but we beat them and right it gets it's hairy it's very hairy to me i mean there's probably tiebreakers so i don't know i mean yeah i don't they all go down and down and you know i don't know i don't know what the time yeah more so obviously it's sorry sharon said mccully's playing all right good that's big i i'm sure you could look at look up the tiebreakers sure sorry okay head-to-head matchup uh but it's all common conference opponents so it's probably that okay so who did who did oregon oregon lost depends usc maybe already no who did oregon lose to uh indiana indiana michigan didn't play him who did michigan state didn't ohio state didn't play him i don't get lost through usc so if oregon right but ohio c right but ohio state is also sitting there ohio state didn't play oregon i know but they didn't play usc so i don't know yeah it's common opponents i think okay either way let's go to the next game uh i threw this one in there virginia duke because this is a very consequential game for the acc duke is minus five and a half over under is 58 and a half chandler morris i believe might be injured or he was injured in the game against wake rico by the way never wrong just early wake they're buzzing they're buzzing in the barber shops in salem yeah i mean it's a it's a good team they're having a good season they it would have been nice if they covered against kennesaw state i was dead wrong on them they turned out to be a really good team so um but yeah it's it's wakes wakes having a good year What do you guys like in this game? Let me see if Chandler Morris is playing. I think he's supposed to come back. I think I'm going to take Duke. What do you got, Dave? Hopeful to have Chandler Morris at Duke. Duke's so frustrating to watch. They get down to the red zone, screw up. They do a million different bad things. But I like that they can score. I'm going to take Duke. I'm going to take Virginia. I'll take the points. I think it'll be close. They are so, so annoying to watch in terms of some of these games. I agree with that. I'll take the over again in this, 58-and-a-half. So, next game, Texas at Georgia. Georgia's minus six overrunners, 48-and-a-half. Big game. Georgia's most complete game last week. Yeah. That was – we've been talking like they're not the same Georgia. That was the same Georgia. They look good. I'm not going to – listen, or maybe it was more Mississippi State finally being Mississippi State. I'm going to take Texas here. Close game. One game won't totally change my opinion on Georgia. I've been saying it's not. It's not the same Georgia. I'm going to stick with that another week. Close game. Down to the wire. I'll take Texas and the points. Rico, what do you think about this game? What do you think about Texas? Can Texas lose this game? I'm going to take – they can still lose it. They'll be fine. They've got to go beat A&M. They've got to take one of the two. I'm going to take Texas catching. The key here for Georgia, they've got to sack Arch Manning. Against Mississippi State, he got sacked five times. Kentucky, three times. Florida, six times. The problem is Georgia is 125th. And sacks per game. I think the Texas offensive line gives them some time. I would take Texas plus the points. Got to sack. Got to heat up the quarterback. Got to sack them. You've got to – and Georgia hasn't been able to do it, which is – you always would assume, oh, Georgia goes and gets it. Not good getting sacks. I think Arch takes advantage of the time. You protect them. I think Texas covers. Okay. I'm going to be with you, Bosco. Plus six, Texas. Wait, did you take Texas too? All three. Okay, all three of us agree. Okay. Next game, Alabama-Oklahoma. Oklahoma at Alabama. Alabama's minus six. Over-under is 45 and a half. I'll start with this one. I really like Oklahoma. I think they're going to stay in this game. I think Bama's good, but not great. Kind of similar to Georgia. Although they've been like going – I can't really get a read on Bama fully because they've had – you know, that Georgia win feels like it was a year ago. Obviously, that was very impressive. That was very impressive. The Vandy game was closer than the final score. The Vandy game was closer. The South Carolina game was closer. The Tennessee. It was Tennessee. Yeah, like – Yeah, I'm on again. The SEC is a mush – everyone's mushed together. So, I'm going to take Oklahoma here. And it's not really a re-endorsement of Oklahoma. It's more – I think these teams are all fairly similar. So, just like why I took Texas against Georgia, give me the points of here. I think these games will be close. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I have Oklahoma. I like Oklahoma in this game. Rico. I'm going to take the over. Listen, Oklahoma defense is very good. Gave up 27 last week, 34 against Ole Miss. Like, 45 and a half here, I think it's a little low. I'm going to go – I think we can get some points. I'm going to take Alabama-Oklahoma over 45 and a half. Okay, last game. Notre Dame at Pitt. Pitt plus 11 and a half over under 55 and a half. Did you guys see what Pat Narduzzi said? No. Dave. Bizarre. It is one of the most bizarre – One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen a coach. So, to the point where I'm actually – I am now so screwed up that I'm thinking he did it on purpose. Pat Narduzzi said on Monday, I believe. So, Pitt, to set the table, Pitt obviously has this big game against Notre Dame. They are very much alive in the ACC. They have two losses. So, most likely the best way for them to get – or the only way for them to get in the playoff is to win the ACC. A reporter asked Pat Narduzzi, do you feel like the Notre Dame game is a must win? He said, Dave, absolutely not. It's not an ACC game. I'd gladly get beat 103 or 110 to 10. They could put 100 up on us as long as we win the next two after that. Yeah, that's a crazy quote. The problem is, it's correct. You just never should say that. You shouldn't say it to your team. You shouldn't say it to anyone on your staff. He's right that they can lose this game. You just don't make it public. Yes. Right. They can lose this game. They can lose this game and go to the playoff. So, it does not matter, but it's a crazy thing to say. Yeah, that's a wild quote. Especially, it's at home. A lot of eyeballs on this. It is Notre Dame. Like, in places he doesn't want to talk about, yeah, game doesn't matter. But you don't say that publicly. The only thing I can think – it's a crazy quote to say publicly because you're going to get crucified for it. Sometimes coaches, like, you want to take the pressure off of them, but in the locker room, you're singing a different tune. So, you want your guys to play loose. Like, hey, this game doesn't matter. Go have fun. Like, have the time of your life. No pressure. Maybe, but it's still stupid. It actually, weirdly, kind of makes me like Pittsburgh. Yeah, that's the thing. I've gone all the way around where I saw the quote and was like, I got to take Notre Dame. And enough time has settled where I was like, yeah, I think maybe he's doing this for a reason. Like, because that's not something you – Like, just let it all hang out. Like, what do we care? That's not something you say by – like, it just – Because the game means a lot more to Notre Dame. And, like, Notre Dame, if they lose, they're done. Right. And it's – and it's like, you don't just blurt that. Like, it felt calculated because it's such a crazy quote. Yeah, so pressure's on them. So, we're taking Pitt? Give me Pittsburgh. No, I like the over. You can't run on either of these teams. Notre Dame, 16th, Rush D, Pitt, 3rd, Rush D. They're both pretty good. 13th pass offense, 23rd pass offense. And their pass defenses are 79th and 80th. I think we're going to get some yards through the air here. I don't – I just think they have to throw the ball. I think we – obviously, I think Notre Dame, Notre Dame's going to score. Laying the 11-and-a-half there. I like – I like the over. I'm not laying the points. I like the over. Notre Dame's defense, by the way, has big time turned a corner because they were – I think I saw the stat. They've given up 21 points in the last seven second halves, which is – there's been a lot of garbage time, too, in that. So, they've turned the corner. That's why I would – I'm a little nervous about the over. I think I'm going to take Pitt. I'm going to take Pitt plus 11-and-a-half. I didn't think I was going to take Pitt, but Narduzzi's got me twisted up in a pretzel. Okay. Do you want to do our cards? Yeah. Dave, do you want to start? Interesting. I asked this. I'm just looking. So, Ohio State's plus 200 to win the hole. I asked this on our big noon, like, pre-meeting on Monday, and it was universal, I think, if you could have Ohio State versus the field, who would people take? Everyone. Everyone took Ohio State to win the title. Versus the field? No. I want the field in that. Wait, what are the odds? Just straight up? I got too many options. Great, even. Oh, no. That's – No way. That's people who don't gamble. Yeah, I want the field. As good as Ohio State is, I want the field. You got too many options. You got a good Bama, a good Georgia. You got Ole Miss, maybe lightning in a bottle. You got A&M, Oregon. Way too many options. Way too many. All right. My card is tiny. I hate the card. Like, I can't bet on – anyone to win the title because as long as Michigan is in it, I can't have it. If I was, Notre Dame 10-1 would actually be who I'd take. Really? I have Texas Tech. I don't love it. I don't think they can win the title. What are they at? They are at – what are they at right now? Can you look it up, Jackie? I like that, too, if they're big. I haven't seen them on the front page. Where? 18-1. I am 60-1. Great pick. Yeah, but I still don't – I kind of did the pick being like I don't – if they get to the final four, then I'm going to have a head start. Listen, I go back to last year, the Big 12. Arizona State was a whisker. You're right. You're right. I guess what I'm saying is I like my portfolio. Yeah, you got a good portfolio. Comes back full circle. You got a good portfolio. Good portfolio. I have, like, the smallest car. I hate these cars. I have Oklahoma plus five and a half, Bama. I'm going to stick with North Carolina. Plus six and a half against Wake. They've turned a corner. I've been on it. I like them catching points rather than Belichick playing like a pussy and playing NFL. But I will say, there was something – so I was in the locker room after the Patriots won. It's the first time I've ever been in the locker room after a win, college or pro. But Kraft took me in there. Vrabel absolutely trucked a camera guy. Trucked. Like, he came in the room. There's a camera guy sitting there. He, like, knocked him over. He knocked him over to get to his speech. After, because Vrabel's a good guy, I saw him. He went over. He's like, sorry about that. I didn't see you. So he did apologize. But he trucked the camera guy. Also, I didn't love being in the locker room necessarily. I didn't feel like I belonged there. But it struck me. Like, Vrabel's giving a great speech. He's like, today is Wednesday. Don't forget, great win. But today is Wednesday because they play on Thursday night. So he's getting everybody going. And then you see Belichick in the locker room, like, giving his speech after beating Stanford in front of 12 people. It's like, man, the two friends. I do like NC here, though. Yeah. Wait, so wait. So wait, going to the locker room, like, were you talking to guys? So it's funny. You know, I used to know, I feel like, all the guys. Like, kind of personally. I don't know a lot of them now. Like, I know Vrabel. McDaniel, like, said hi to Vrabel, said hi to McDaniel. Will Campbell, who I love, and I've DM'd, came up. He's like, nice to meet you. or like, oh, we're doing proud. Like, so liked him. One guy I didn't recognize, like, I'm a big Miss Peaches fan. But it's more the coaching staff. Like, I don't know a lot of the guys. I don't even know the guys know who I am. That's why it's, like, kind of weird. Like, when you're in with the owner, you're not in, like, it wasn't like, I didn't know what to do. I just didn't want to really be in the way of what was going on. It was cool to see the speeches, but I don't know a lot of the guys. I didn't see Drake. You did not see Drake? He was the last one in, so, like, and gave a quick, but no, I didn't say hello to him. I saw him, but I didn't say hello to him. Trayvon Henderson, for all I know, hates my guts. Who knows? That's probably accurate. Yeah, probably. That's just rivalry. He's got to know that now you don't hate him. He's your guy. I love him now. Yeah, exactly. That's how it works. Yeah, so, there was that. And I like Mississippi State plus 7.5 against Missouri. Again, this is a nothing card. I hate the card. There's nothing worse. I know. I looked it up and down. Like, usually things just jump. It's like the pen's going. The pen's going. You know what? Add Pittsburgh. Add Pittsburgh plus 12.5. Okay. Rico. Yeah, everything we talked about. I'm also going to take Iowa plus the 7. So, Dan, you must have loved. How awesome was Tusk last week? You saw that? What? The show? No. The guy Fleetwood. Is it Mick Fleetwood? Oh, I didn't see that. He came out and played it? Yeah, dude. With the marching band. Oh, I got to watch it. I missed this video. I think what was that game? Send it to you right now. Oh, you know what it was? It was Friday night. We were in Mississippi. Yeah. So, I didn't watch the end of that game. It was funny. We just. Dave and I were staying in this apartment overlooking the field and people knew where we were staying because they could see us watching the game and at like 930, like, I think it was like two or three times, people just came knocking on the door asking for pictures and having to tell them, I answered the door, having to tell them that Dave was asleep, they were like, never meet your hero. Like, the one guy was just like, it's 930. I was like, yeah, dude. I don't know what you want me to say. Jesus. Can I be up? I heard you say it. I could hear you go, we got to be up early. Yeah, I was trying to help you. I was trying to cover for you. And then they're like, well, can we get a picture with you? I was like, sure. But it was just like, it's 930. Yeah, I like to.

It was funny, too, because the people were literally knocking on the door and just not leave. I was looking out the people. They just were not leaving. And I said to Dave in the morning, I was like, did you hear that? He's like, yeah, there were there. Nothing in the world would ever get me to go. How's going on fire? I sleep naked. I was naked underneath the covers. No shot. I'm getting. Yeah, it was. They just wouldn't leave. They left and then they came back and they were taking. I heard the knock. I would have slept right through. I would have. There's no chance. Like, I was getting up. What were you going to say? Oh, you sent it to me. I just sent it to you. Click the blog. All right. Keep going. Sorry. So, Jaden, my six interceptions in his last five games and I was past defense is fourth in the country. I think they give him some problems. I originally like USC. I crossed it off. I like Iowa here. Plus the seven North Texas first half minus ten and a half Utah State UNLV over 71 and a half. I'm going to take Delaware minus nine and a half. Sam Houston stayed off a big, massive win. I think Delaware takes care of business. San Diego State minus three in a big spot against Boise, New Mexico minus 14 and a half. I'm going to fade Colorado State again and I'll take Kansas State, Oklahoma State over 52 and a half. Okay. My card. I have Ohio State UCLA over 48 and a half Delaware minus nine and a half Mississippi State over 51 and a half Penn State over 49. And then what was the Texas Tech line? Obviously, I hate hating a card. I'm going up and down. I can't find anything. Texas Tech minus 23 and a half Texas plus six Alabama plus six. Everything else we talked about pit. And that's it. Yeah, I hate the card, too. I'll probably add a bunch, though, but I hate the card. I hate it. It's the worst. It's the worst, Dave. Happened to me like a couple Sundays ago. The last three college football cards. I hate it. Yeah. Well, a couple Sundays ago, I was like, I looked at the board. I was like, I think I like one game. How do you? I don't know. You can't live like that. It's brutal. Okay. Time for our mortals. I'm eight. Ebo's eight and three. I'm seven and four. Jack is six and four. Rico, you're six and five. Looks like Hank, Zupi, and Dave are going to be pretty tough to get up there. Okay. Rico, you want to go first? No, you go last, Rico. Why don't we go Zupi first? Yeah, I've got Utah minus eight and a half at Baylor. Okay. Jack? I've got Virginia Duke over 57 and a half, and Ebo has Texas plus six. Okay. I'm going to take UNLV minus six at home against Utah State. Dave? I'm going to take UNC plus a six and a half against Wake. Okay. Rico? North Texas minus 18 and a half against UAB. I think they outscore them. They keep going. Pedal to the metal. Is this the first half, too? I took it, yeah, but I like North Texas. Give us the whole thing. Give them all of them. North Texas minus 18 and a half. What are the other plays? North Texas first half minus 10 and a half. And? And that's it. No team total over? No, no team totals. Two. Okay. Dan's at Dave's end. Okay. What? I thought you were at. I thought you went to the pen. Oh, no. I've been looking. I've been scrolling up and down trying to see the South Florida Navy game. I keep looking at it, but I can't get anything on it. Yeah, it sucks. This is the worst. The match in last night, by the way, boys, was incredible. It always delivers. It always delivers. Okay, Rico, I'll probably add North Texas later. I'll look at it more. Okay, good show, boys. Good show. See everyone next week, and we'll come out to Murphy's. Yeah, at Wrigley on Saturday morning. It's going to be a great time. We'll see everyone there. All right. See you. See you, guys.
