Discussions include the strengths and weaknesses of top programs like Ohio State, Indiana, and Vanderbilt, with participants debating the depth of the college football playoff field.

The hosts explore personal tensions, such as a heated exchange between Rico and Dave over social media conduct, including a reference to a bikini photo incident that sparked backlash. There’s also a playful and serious discussion about Rico Bosco’s potential role in a reality show like "Spring Break House," with suggestions for casting and production. The team reflects on past episodes, noting that the highest-viewed episodes feature strong engagement, especially when Bosco is involved. A recurring point is the balance between accountability and camaraderie in the show’s dynamic.

We good? Yeah, we're good, Dan. What? I just asked. You didn't go, right? Yes, I did go. How late were you? Two minutes. That's a lie. Truth. Okay. I got a question right off the top. I think we're, I think too many things are being called gotcha culture at this point. I was, I was watching back pick them from last week and you showed up in a suit and tie and Dave and we, and I think Dave said like, why are you wearing that? And you go, it's fuck. Whoa, it's gotcha culture now. No, I don't think I said that question. I didn't say it about that. I don't think, did I? I don't know, but it's, it feels like asking questions becomes gotcha culture. If we are. I'm going to go back to gotcha culture because I did see a clip where he's a, come on, dude. Hey dude. I never asked for anything to be cut out. That is, I mean, you have asked for no less than 3,497 things to be cut out. I mean, we went through a time period where you would ask for entire chunks to be cut out every single episode. Um, yeah, back in the day, probably. That's accurate. Uh, all right. Back in the day. You're right. Yeah. You got to live with your sins. How, how, how are you doing Rico? Cause I just, I was laughing cause I was just like, I, it was, I can't remember the exact phrasing, but it was like, everything's gotcha culture now. I got, listen, we got to find the gotcha culture everywhere. Do you think maybe there's a gotcha culture show in the works that we could do? I don't know. Maybe. Yeah. There's gotta be something. Okay. All right. So why would it? No, I'm just, I'm asking. The meds on or off the meds? Still off, but a little bit more self-breathing maybe. Okay. Good. Just maybe you show up to like people's work and like, you know, like people can complain about their coworkers and then you show up and you're just like, gotcha culture, like cut it out. I don't know. Just an idea. Something there. Yeah. Uh, all right. So off the meds, how's, how's your week going Rico? How, how's, oh, where are we at with the 40th birthday guy? Back, I guess. I mean, cool dog. Off a little. Yeah. Why? What's the smart? I'm asking. I haven't talked to him. Yeah. It's yeah. Backed off a little bit. Okay. I mean, look, I'm just asking. I brought some things to the show. Sorry. You can bring anything to the show. You got anything? Well, not after last week. No, I don't have anything. Um, no, I, yeah, I, I was on the text with Dave. Dave was like, I want it on record. I was provoked. I was like, he was, that's accurate. Yeah. I mean, that's a cold like it is. So I did. I kept poking the bear. And he was like, Dave was like ace up his sleep. So that's how it works. But yeah, I do think he was genuinely trying to look out for me. But in that, is that birthday party going to need like TSA? No, we'll behave. We'll behave. We'll behave. So you're going to go to the birthday party, but not cause a problem. Yeah. It's being, I'm still, I still haven't officially RSVP, but we're working on it. That's is he covering your cost to get there? No. He should tell room the hotel rooms. Yes, but not the transportation. Okay. Okay. Um, Dave question for you is Sharon more the guy. Well, we're going back to work this week, Dan. So that's, that's what you got to do. You gotta, you get your ass whooped. You gotta put on the car, heart jacket and get serious. That was, uh, I feel like it. It works with Harbaugh because Harbaugh is a psycho and he's had the history of building a program. He's had the history of like when he puts on the blue collar jacket, there's something about it where it's like, he's not joking. He's not, it's, it's authentic. He, he, it's just authentic. Sharon putting it on felt a little like Halloween was happening and he's trying to, he's trying to, you know, dress up like Harbaugh used to be in the big, bad Michigan. Gotta go to work. That's something that Bosco would say, you know, put it behind you where onto a Washington as Belichick and his prime would say, I, I am not going to declare him the guy. There's a lot of people in Michigan circles, I think, who believe he is not the guy I think is too early, but I will say this and I know, uh, Blutman rants about it. I happen to agree with it. You, you have to make decisions. There's no, I'm not there yet. I want to see the. The rest of the season play out. We, I think the quarterback's very good. I hate to play calling, but if, if you believe he's not the guy, there's no point waiting around. Like even the Patriots, the Patriots with, uh, Gerard Mayo, like hired him, fired him really quickly. And they got the guy, they got Vrabel and it turned everything around like that. So I want to see how this year plays out, but I need to see improvement and I don't know. What happens if we do the same exact thing that we do every year with him or last year, which is stink and then beat Ohio state. I mean, if he doesn't beat Ohio state, I'm probably at, he's not the guy already mode, but if he keeps thinking and then beaten Ohio state, then it's a confusing situation. That would be, that would be something if he just never loses Ohio state, but keeps going like nine because in a weird way, then I just, it's like, oh, okay. I can kind of live with that. Like if we don't win, if we go, oh, and 10 and then beat Ohio state every year, I can talk my talk. I can do that. I can, I can kind of live with that. Yeah. He allows you. Yeah. You can't go and 10 and then lose to Ohio state and have nothing, but like we still have that. So it's not good. And it wasn't just that we lost USC because I certainly thought we could lose to USC. It was. I mean, we got dominated. So that, that was a problem. It is frustrating watching your, like the play calling your play call. You're absolutely right. And, but you, that is how Harbaugh called plays, but he got away with it because they were so much better than everybody. And they were there. They, they dominated the line. They got away with it. This team isn't there. And you've got to adjust. Also, you see the kid's arm and you see some of the playmakers you have at wide receiver and these little flashes. It's like, Hey, let's, let's let it out. Let's let, let's open it up a little bit. They, they, they, they don't believe in play action pass for some reason. They don't believe in maybe throwing on downs that you think they're running, which makes it hard for anybody to throw on third and eight, third and nine, third and 10. And they're doing a whole hell of a lot of it. So this is the long answer. Is he the guy? I'm not going to say he is the guy. I'm not going to say he's not the guy I'm going to say if he stinks this season and loses to Ohio, we got an issue. If he stinks this season and beats Ohio again. All right. if he keeps doing that i'd never get rid of him yeah yeah i did like uh your clip after where you're like the problem is chiron talks all this shit and then he let and then i start talking all this shit and then we can't back up the shit it's like that is the problem for you yeah chiron talks a lot right he like talks a lot i mean you go into the call see me like we're only here we sold out because of us and this and then it's like oh he throws on a uh the carhartt jacket and forgets about it's like i i can't i'm in it because you used to you used to take your cues from harbaugh where harbaugh at the end like especially you could really tell when he thought he had it like yes you could you could kind of read the tea leaves of like it's this is going to be a no doubter and uh now you're in a different world with chiron where you have to kind of guess like is he talking shit because he just talks or is he talking shit because he's gonna win he also coaches i and in my opinion and like some of these losses like he's just trying not to lose by 40 right like it's you're down two scores and you're running the ball in the fourth quarter it's like what are you doing so yeah um okay stream was very funny though i know it was brutal for you obviously but i thought you did that was very funny some of the stuff what was the stuff you watched the whole thing you were tuned in you're waiting to see if oh yeah oh yeah all right then oh what i'm just saying god damn it come on well we can't have yeah i mean i had three tvs going like in terms of the broadcast which one had sound none of them i thought that i thought dave's broadcast had more like intrigue he's it's the funny stuff going on it's a michigan fan commenting on his team that's what i was watching all right fuck you dan oh what the fuck come on pledge master dan come on why someone's got to make a show here you didn't bring anything today rico all these years you thought i was a pledge master someone's got to make a show all right fine you know we'll do our picks alabama tennessee not two and a half fucking all right dude like that could be i'm just saying you brought it yeah i just said all right did it also like i mean there's things you can reference there's things you can reference then again like during the week or right you was watching the game like did you know about the first class list did you know about the first class list didn't have a clue why what's what you think i'm on it well you're clearly not i read the oh yeah i ain't on it no i i know i read the list yeah all right so i wouldn't know about it i don't know about shit that list is being dismantled there is no first class list if people want to fly first class you can ask i didn't know that list existed either people are taking that the wrong francis is taking totally the wrong way like i didn't know that list existed i don't know where it came from why it came from maybe the brianna thing was a true story that that's where it's like why is she flying in the back of the plane when she was making a ton of money for the company that that may have prompted it but i didn't know like there was an actual like this person flies this is all brand new to me i think it's older than that honestly i think i thought it was i i didn't know there was a list i thought it was a pen like erica decision like when we became more corporate there's an element there's an element of i think like our bookers in our sometimes people don't use their brains so it's like it was to take that decision away from them possibly i knew i knew there we went on a flight may have been in the super bowl and there was a bunch of people on first class which some of them weren't on the first class list so i i was just confused but i was way in the back and i was like how are those people in first class and someone told me there was a list our company is overall very confused it's like if you make money for the company fly first class if if you don't you probably shouldn't but like overall to have that many people do you know how much money that like costs to like fly the difference between like it's thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars my guess if you ask people you can fly in the back of the boat or first class a lot of people but you get the money i bet a lot of people give me the money so you know that that's kind of crazy so when i'm going down the list and looking it's like obviously the pmt crew uh makes money so it kind of starts there foreplay people are confused with that i'm sure i'll talk about this unnamed foreplay sort of operates as an independent business not like they have if they want to fly first class it comes out of their budget right and then like so yeah it's up to them that's not me it doesn't it's it's it's their it's their kind of budgets francis mad he's like oh i didn't know foreplay but that's where it's a little weird because as i understand it of francis flying first class i do not believe comes out of the first out of the foreplay budget because i don't think he's actually like in their whole setup so that's a little different so sass screwed it for them for everyone yeah well it shouldn't be going on sass get on the i'll just say this should sass now be the only person on the first class list because he saved everyone so much he saved barstool so much money like i'm just saying like if he saved us thousands i think he should get a medal of honor and be the only first class list person that's like the ira i heard if you like report somebody you get a 10 of whatever they bring in we have a wildly spoiled company like when we travel to other places the super bowl whatever you talk to these other companies their a-list talent isn't flying first class yeah like it we just live in a delusional spoiled brat world and it's like everyone wants more money everyone wants more money for the contracts everyone wants more money for the bonus everyone wants this that and everybody wants to fly first class and it's like all right well this all costs money like i don't know what you guys what world you live in so i don't know what you guys want to do so i don't know what you guys want to do so i don't know what you guys want to do so yeah the first class list which i did not know existed is going to be dismantled it doesn't mean nobody can fly first class ever again but it's like it's you're not there's not just this hard and fast list people getting mad or or where i saw everyone's like oh kfc me it's like well kfc doesn't have some huge money maker so and i don't even think he travels but when i was looking at the list i'm just going down i know they make money i know they make money no that that was what was going through my head but i didn't know the list existed so list is done but you didn't you you skirted around the question could sass be the only person on the list even was sass gonna travel first class to his own private comedy shows call duty league yeah call duty league call duty league yeah call duty league wait can we go back to rico can why are you mad at me for pointing out that you definitely were listening to dave stream on full volume because you were expecting you might come up no why are you mad at me i'm not it's just you're you're trying to send me back like at all times you want 2017 rico no i don't like you a guy can progress that's all you should also watch that stream and be like hey he never has treated me different because like if i said like healthy debates was a total disaster which it was you took that generally like you know he's attacking me but no i i and even for when i said the the the mascots was a total disaster i didn't even watch it i was telling you the show is a disaster it wasn't a personal attack on anybody anybody with a brain can be like well it started this and it has one percent of the audience that show didn't work yeah i think you go if you go back to healthy debate when you said yeah it's time to change it up it's an end like and then pull the plug there wasn't much pushback in terms of crying and

intentional and and to bosco's credit he's still very much a part of the show he's doing a great job he sends all the topics subjects doesn't complain he's just a behind the scenes guy on that show but when that you know what i'm gonna request from now on when the credits roll do we have credits on wake up barstool if not if we do or we don't we are going to have them from now on and bosco will

a deep cut who who are we talking about stewie's clubhouse nearly boy he takes pictures of uh people in their our girls uh i did it once yeah what and post posted it yeah on viva acting like it was that had anything to do with whatever but yeah it's all right i'll be just like screwed there was a point where he was like just taking people's personal instagram stories and just like blasting them on viva it's kind of weird he did it to me it was a little weird he blasted your personal story well it's so interesting about your personal that's how i felt what was it i forget exactly what it was but it was a very it was one of those things where you see like that that doesn't like a lot of things go on viva and that felt like a weird it was like what you don't you and you have no idea it was a while ago i i i could maybe he stopped doing that yeah he was told to yeah who's bikini picture did he post like how do you know this this is what i'm saying like and then he gets dave and then he gets mad at me and then he gets mad at me dave and then he gets mad at me for saying oh did you have volume on high on dave's stream yes you did i got i got miffed i mean rico it's okay you're literally like you're you're you are back you are like Last week's episode of Pick'Em was one of the best we've ever done. I'd put that down as like, hey, what's Pick'Em? That would be like maybe the fifth episode. Be like, got to watch this. It was great. You're back. It's okay to embrace it. Like you're fucking, you're watching Dave stream with full volume while you got a full college slate. On your off time, you're rewatching Survivor for the 7,000th time. You're talking about someone on our social team posting a bikini picture six years ago that we have no idea about it. You are back. Don't get upset about it. Me calling it out. Appreciate it. You're back. Yeah, you are back. This is vintage Bosco rewatching Surviving on a Tuesday night. Right. But not causing car crashes left and right. He's still driving like a maniac, but there's no car crashes. Yeah. I'm putting all my mind to one thing, just be successful. Okay, so whose bikini picture did he post? I don't know. I mean, I don't know. Like, I don't know. I don't drag them in. I'm not dragging them in. I'm just 100% know what drag who wins. So you're saying the bikini pictures posted the person on the bikini complained. No. So you complain on behalf of them. The way the story was told to me was that he was reprimanded. Don't do that. So somebody. Okay. And then I filed that one all the way to the back of the mind. And then when you act up. So somebody is walking down the New York office. Pull that bookmark out of the book. Takes a left into your cube and just unloads information company secrets to you. That's how it goes. No, there's things that pass through every once in a while. Yeah. That was one I put in the back of the bookmark. I don't even know who Neely Boy is. Does he work for us full time? Yes, he does. He just re-upped three years. That's probably why Bosco. Bosco's hoping the ink's not dry. That's why he brought that up. He just posted that he re-upped. And Bosco's hoping, hey, maybe this didn't fully go through yet. We can stop the presses. Maybe he could be Rico's social guy in the spring break. Not a bad idea, Jack Mack. Oh, good call. I just want to try to get you a veto, Rico. Well, let's check. Let's stay fair is fair. Let's check Jack's social calendar. He got anything in April that he's trying to send people to? So he can go nose down a couple of places? Yes. Can we check that? Let's check that. You got anything going on in April? I'd be happy to. What's April? February, February, February, February. Sorry, February, February. You got anything going on in February? No. Okay. All right, so maybe Jack Mack will be Rico's social guy. I like that. I do think you need neutral social guys, though. Well, you just requested him, so I don't hate that. Jack Mack will be Rico Bosco's social guy. I would be happy to follow Rico around. There we go. That's locked. It's locked and loaded. Oh, that's great. Bosco, that's a good. Thank you, Bosco. You guys are friends. Good suggestion. We are. We are. Good suggestion. Oh, this is going to be awesome content. Awesome content. All right. Well, what else? What's the cast look like? What are you thinking? I think we will have the return of Nikki Smokes, Ella, Katic. Those will be the only. The only returning cast members so far, you, we made that Donnie Deutsch guy is in the mix. Donnie Deutsch is going to be there. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. I called him last night. Told him, Hey, this is what we're going to do. So he's going to be here in the fucking mix. Yeah. Uh, and maybe a couple of strangers maybe to do. Uh, we'll see. Okay. Yeah. I mean, we got to at least take a look. Yeah. For nothing. We're going to, we don't want it. The reason I'm not going to run back the exact same cast. It got too boring. Right. We don't need like Danny and Jackie, like dating and shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. So those, uh, uh, I haven't decided in Annika, I don't know if Annika and Nikki are good or bad together yet. She's a bubble player, I guess, but, uh, definitely Nikki, Ella and Katic are in you're in, um, that that's in, in Deutsch, I think are the five that we're looking at so far. It's good squad. Still out round out three more still. That's good squad. Um, really good squad. Really good squad. All right, Rico, do you have anything else before we, uh, do some picks, talk some college football? I like how this show, I mean, this is, this is how you know you're on a heater. This show went from Dan being like, fuck you, Alabama, Tennessee under to a slew of topics. So that's how it works here. Well, listen, I was episode Dan. It's a compliment. I know. No, no, no, no. What I was going to say was, you know, sometimes his show, it's like, you gotta, you gotta kind of like pull the, pull the thing on the lawnmower to get it started. So I pulled a couple times. There wasn't any things starting and now we're now the engine is running and we're, we're we haven't picked the exact, we haven't picked the exact location, Bosco, any spring break spots that you're partial to? No, I never, never went. Um, so. Oh, good. You get to live out your dreams first time. Yeah. Dude, that's going to be so sick, Bosco you with like a, like a bunch of 18 and 19 year olds. What do you guys think? What do you guys think of the AAC? You guys pick South Florida? Oh, man. We got to go. Challenge is getting it going. Can we at least get like, can we at least make sure that the house has like one TV? So that Bosco doesn't cause like, there's going to be probably a big game or something. Maybe wherever we are, they do a, a, a family, a group outing, do a college hoops game. We get a suite. Oh man, that would be sick. What's Alabama's schedule in February. I don't know off the top of my head, but the only, they would be, yeah, I mean, I don't know how far the only Florida school, wait, hold on. I'll make sure I'm not. Vegas is certainly an option. Panama city is an option. Cancun. Need the passport. Get the passport fired up. All right. Okay. I think at the end of this, we'll we'll, that'll be a good bonus feature. We'll call my wife at the end. I love it. All right. It's going to be a good, we'll put it behind a Bay wall, make it a little extra feature. Okay. Volunteered. Yeah. You volunteered. Yeah. You said anything? You said anything to the team, the team, the team. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. At any point they could cut your minutes. So the guy's going to give you minutes right now. Take them. Right. Right. Make the most of those minutes. Bosco. You did something I would not do like Dave. I, I, I'm, I do not want to be on the spring break house. Me neither. Right. So credit to Bosco. He's the only one out of the three of us that stepped up. Yeah. And as well. And he did say it genuinely where he's like, listen, you'd be, you know, like you would be good. It's not. Yes. It's a punishment or against your will. I'm throwing you down there. That's like, yeah, it's funny to mix it up. Like you look at the cast. You'd be very good. Me, Nikki and Katie is a fucking, you know, that's a, it's, it's a good little run right there to build off of. You could even like, you know, spring or break when he went down there and host, it could be Bosco break. You could be like hosting a bunch of different like bikini contests and stuff. Yeah. Like the Dante role of like the old head you, you will be in your, you will be very, very good. You're, I mean, you're an entertaining guy on camera. Wait, is the, is the Don not on the, on the, well, it's up to the Don. The Don has not asked to go. So I'm not forcing him. Like I sent out that, I sent that company email. I said, anybody interested, let me know he, I haven't heard from him. No chance. Basically the entire cast wanted to run it back, which is not going to happen. No. You can't. But if he wants to go, I think we'd let the Don go. He's good. Yeah. Don is good. Yeah. He definitely has a Don Bosco. Rico. Oh. Fun. Okay. Any, any other, any other business, anything else I'll leave the carabas stuff for unnamed. Sure. Yeah. What'd you say? No, I'm afraid to ask. Anybody got anything else? What do we got? You're afraid to ask. I'm afraid to ask. I'm afraid to ask him if anyone's got anything else. Who knows? You never know the way this show's going. Jackie. You got anything else? Sadly. I do not. Oh, okay. All right. Well, let's, let's do some picks. Let's talk some games. Iconic summer moments deserve an iconic drink. Reach for Mountain Dew, an American original.

Uh, so Dave is in first 51%. I'm at 50.7. Uh, Rico's 42.6%. Ebo's in first and Bob Diaco six and one, I'm five and two Zoopies four and three Hanks four and three Rico's four and three. Jack Mack is three, three, and one, uh, Dave is two and five. Uh, I had a terrible week. I got fucking killed. I'm actually gonna take a little step back this week. Go lighter card. Cause I need, it was one of those weeks where I could not catch a single break, a single game I needed. And so I'm taking my like little refresher week where it will be like 15 plays. It's tough to watch that Auburn game. And, and, and Georgia quarterback get yelled at for not sliding. Yeah. That, and then Auburn got so fucked with, with the, they should have been up 17, nothing. I know everyone's talking. Everyone's talking. Yeah. talking about the timeout and the clapping like fumble was was so brutal um indiana was insanely impressive that was really good and they're really good they could they could they could win the national title they're very good i had that one i i'm trying to think so if you're this was the kind of the question i had too like big picture if you're making a pyramid of teams right now in college football ohio state is at the top of the pyramid but i don't think the levels below are that much like it's really far between that next level i also think there's a lot of teams in that two three level that are all really interchangeable it's gonna be a very if everything stays chaotic as it seems like it's gonna be a really really entertaining playoff again you know like i don't think ohio state is their defense is unbelievable i don't think they're head and shoulders above everybody maybe we don't know enough yet but like i i don't know there's a lot of just good teams i think this playoff is gonna be really entertaining i mean ohio state you could argue hasn't played anybody but they they and last week was their least impressive performance against illinois uh i don't know i mean they're clear one indiana is very good i still think oregon could be heard from before this is said and done and then i think you got a lot of teams just like what you're saying i think the sec is all very close and mushed together you got big 10 teams in the middle mushed together uh texas tech my my top five i i think there's a clear top five and then now will they stay that way but the five teams that i would say are well deserving of the top five and then there's a gap is and we never mentioned them you we don't know but uh we haven't mentioned yet you have ohio state miami indiana texas a&m and texas tech those are five teams to me that i think you can argue can beat anybody right now i below that i don't think there's anyone i'd get i'd get alabama pretty close into there i'm not sold on them i i i think that everyone is you know that week one got everyone off ty simpson is so good that's my heisman pick i only put 10 grand on it but well i know that's a lot but not a lot for how much i bet but uh yeah i don't i don't see it i i'm not crazy impressed by them um i mean a&m's been fucking wildly impressive they're undefeated they're beating good teams they're beating them easily they beat notre dame i think notre dame notre dame's gonna be in the playoffs yeah i think they're gonna win out and i think notre dame tough to say with two losses but notre dame i think can beat anybody so i you know by the way i will push back a little ohio state like we they have beaten they bought they beat texas they beat washington washington is six and one or five and one and because they lost to ohio state in the way they lost to ohio state everyone's like washington sucks if washington was in the sec in five and one you know they'd be ranked well i agree with that point if you said if washington put on georgia colors or alabama colors and was playing the same football tennessee everyone would be blah blah blah yes they lost badly to us they fine but they also were down they came back but they get whooped by maryland for like almost the entire yeah they won but they won yeah no i listen i think why well they're six versus us this week which i think is a bit big yeah i would agree um and then obviously james franklin getting fired that was crazy how fast that all unraveled like i think we all knew it could unravel but had the speed of which it went downhill insane they're in overtime versus oregon they're going to be arguably the number one two team in the country a favorable national title he's secure as can be he's all wrapped up in his blankets nice and toasty and then he's gone right dan dan you know a little bit about what's going on in oregon i think it's going to be a little bit more about this i was with dave dave said this too the the buyout money is to protect the school from him taking a bigger job and then it's also to and then it's counter it protects the coach if he does get fired like that like how did like i'm with dave the buyout the fact that buyouts get this crazy i never fully understood how we got to this where there's 50 million dollar buyouts a big job comes open the agents mostly jimmy sexton call up and they say hey this guy's like you saw last year when saban retired or what two years ago right saban retires jimmy sexton calls up he has i don't know 20 of the top coaches in the country and he says hey my guys take about take call from alabama we should probably rework the deal and you know it's it's the whole thing is is it's it's nuts there shouldn't be these buyouts like right they're nuts but they're all scared of losing guys and then yeah i don't know i don't get how you can lose a guy in the contract though that makes no sense to me well then leaving how can they leave if they're under contract right but isn't there a buyout like if penn state wants to hire indiana isn't don't they have to buy out indiana they gotta pay indiana the rest of that money yes yeah but but but all right so let's say they want signetti he's under contract and indiana just says no he's under contract why can signetti leave for penn state unless he has it written into his contract i can break my like that seems illegal like why are you saying yeah no i agree with that i don't like in major league baseball or pro sports if a guy's on a contract and the patriots are like i want that guy that guy can't just be like all right i'm gonna go like what i don't get it it's convoluted business yeah no i agree with you that doesn't really make much sense at all yeah and then yeah i don't like i could see indiana being like all right we'll entertain it if you want to pay us hundreds of mil whatever and but that's a negotiation they're like we'll let you why do you need it pre-written it seems like he can't leave he signed a 10-year deal he's with us for 10 years you want him well this is how much we take for him you could be like nothing you could be a billion dollars but i don't know why it's like pre unless these coaches it's more i think these coaches i don't know how we've gotten here but it's just standard practice in industry that's what you do which seems insane like it's not with athletes like nfl you cut a guy's gone yeah i guess the counter argument would be like you i mean you wouldn't have that in the real world at all like where a contract is just like you can't get out of your contract ever talent business we do talent espn like yeah but they could leave yeah but you can't go to like a competitor like like not compete are hard to pelt scott van pelt can't be like uh fox just offered me way more i'm leaving espn going to fox but that does happen does it not no contracts end and they go it no non-competes though are hard to like aren't they hard to to keep anyway i mean there's different different like rules on it but in a talent it doesn't happen yeah all right someone explained it to me online i i don't really understand it either like even even we've talked to different like if we just want to be like oh we signed contract with this advertiser they're offering us more see and we can't do that yeah right right i see what you're saying um i was thinking more yeah contracts ending but yeah it is weird the whole thing is weird how it all works and how much these guys are getting paid to not work and it's it's crazy james franklin i don't know if you saw i offered him a one dollar job on the cream i like that yeah yeah because he needs the supposedly he has to make an honest effort to go get work so they don't have to pay the contract or it would eat into what they're paying right so he's making if he wants to make an honest effort he can come and and clean the clean the ice cream machine i'll give him a shift his shift is one day a year yeah i mean the flip side is as much as we say it's awesome i do think like i'd be happy i think a lot of things that drive these nutcase football coaches like they don't want to be fired they don't they don't want the money to like go sit on their ass unless you're coach oh yeah and also there is and again it's it's you know 50 million dollars for james franklin there is the other part of all of his assistants are most likely going to get fired too those guys are not making 50 million dollars those guys are making pennies i mean how many assistants may have moved their families from vanderbilt and yeah that's where how many how many i mean he's probably got a staff of like 30 or 50 and he's got a staff of like 30 or 50 and he's got a staff of like 30 or 40 right like yeah so you know like you know whether it be coaching staff but also like personal assistants guys you know some of them might stay but a lot of them will probably have to go find another job so one of my one of my former college coaches is on that staff that explains a lot oh okay that's not nice dave uh but it was crazy it was crazy all right should we uh should we should we do some games yeah all right here we go uh we have five ranked on ranked matchups this week great card dave will you'll be in uh provo for the holy war holy war uh are you that's gonna be awesome that's gonna be very exciting you know they fox did call they're like it was too late it's like they'll help pay for you guys to bring the whole show here they're they want barstool here the caveat there's no swearing in the show are they here that we did no also very funny that like i i i'm not going because we're not going as a show but i did i wonder what the reaction is going to be if you talk shit about cosmo i had some people mad yeah i think they take cosmo sir i mean listen they're good i'm sure cosmo is going to be a big part of the show cosmo is a big part of what they do yeah yeah you'll you'll definitely be introduced to cosmo oh 100 i saw last year when they did the show he was like he he was a center like you know i have those podiums he was doing his thing on the podium yeah yeah it's crazy yeah i did have one thing from last week dave in terms of that big new and that's what reminded me you met the mop guy at michigan i did coach church yeah how'd that go it's he's like i was the guy rico's talking to when i uh he was holding the mop i go you're that guy he goes yep that was pretty much it all right it's a good convo fair enough i thought there was more austin text me he's like we met the mop guy i was like oh okay yeah yeah that's how it went he said michigan will be top five preseason they're not even uh yeah i think they're being slept on but they're very talented they got a big one two weeks against st john's no that's not a big one scrimmage that's definitely not scrimmage i'm saying like in terms of yeah like it's that's a good test well it's not a big one a scrimmage that a scrimmage well it's a big test to see where you're at when are you getting out to provo they got the one of the best freshmen in the country kid uh i'm flying out thursday night you want to see the basketball hoops you want to see the court kids unbelievable number one in the draft next year you want to see the court dave we can get you hooked up yeah yeah bosco i'll make a call yes i'll hunt down if you want to go to practice i will hunt people that byu is not right now in my circle but i can get there oh all right what you can do for me yeah let's get it she said see what see what you can do with forum all right love that all right work on it uh promises i'll work on it i'll work on it work on it friday i'd like to meet this kid he said number one kid in the draft he's gonna be yeah he's a good connection i'd say him wrong the banster uh he's he went to high school in utah what does that mean so you don't know the answer to the question you can just say i don't know i don't know if you just say i don't know i don't know if he's well listen dan if he i'm narrowing it down if he went to high school in utah that narrows it down a little bit just say i don't know i would have said i don't know if he went utah to byu but there's a lot of non-mormons in in utah yeah that's true just say the words i don't know i guess what it's okay to be to not know if the fucking number one pick is mormon or not i don't fucking know his first time at a latter-day sage church he tweeted was in may so i don't know if that's that would seem like no then right can you set up a one-on-one for this kid for me i don't know if i could set up a one-on-one why not but but i mean he i don't know his schedule i don't know the practice time i don't know if they're traveling for a scrimmage i will work on it that's what i can do i work on it i can help you rico he grew up in brockton massachusetts you guys love to talk about yes i can i can help saint sebastian school you know him you know him hank no but i i can help i think i can get to someone that does pretty pretty short pretty easily who i don't know i'm gonna give up my can't reveal sources all right okay no no that's good i know yeah donnie donnie no no wait he he went to yeah he went to high school in utah for one year right so he's probably not mormon probably probably not yeah byu probably gave him the most money don't they have crazy money now they got money yeah they're gonna be very good there's a big mormon community in brockton though for real no no um shows off the rails okay all right here we go so you're gonna set that up so so i am going to work on that and i know jack's probably got a fucking hard-on back there being like wait till this wall through i said i will do my best to work on the meeting no scrimmage this weekend so he's open okay dave congratulations out of a pizza review oh love that dave congratulations i'll take him on pizza review on doing a pizza review with the future number one pick thank you yeah that's huge uh okay lsu of vanderbilt vanderbilt minus two and a half over under 48 and a half uh who wants to start i i think vanderbilt's almost the class of the acc outside a and m i was impressed with the way they played uh against bama i think they bounced back in this game i love vanderbilt here love love love love love okay i'm gonna take vanderbilt as well minus two and a half i'm also gonna take the over 48 and a half i don't think vanderbilt can i think finally lsu of vanderbilt i think vanderbilt can i think vanderbilt can i think vanderbilt can lsu would be able to throw the ball a little bit uh against the vanderbilt defense that can be thrown on a little bit rico i like vanderbilt as well um i thought brandon had a decent point like pavia could still get back into that heisman take i don't love lsu i like vanderbilt i'm gonna take vanderbilt at home here minus the two and a half okay um old miss georgia georgia minus seven and a half over under 54 and a half i'll start let's not sleep on how bad what miss last week let's not sleep on how bad old miss was 33 point favorites against mississippi state they squeaked by that game and that's my point with the entire sec that yeah i know you had to look at i have no idea what's going to happen you guys go first i'll listen but i have no i i'm not i don't know yeah i okay so i saw last week coming um also lane calling out the student section i was like oh wow this is a fiery take like calling out your own student section then i saw some of the videos of the student section he was right that's like these are the type of games that old miss trips up you know what i mean like they so so that's how i'm viewing it dave as bad as last week was in the past like last year against kentucky they lose the game they actually won this time so it was bad but they won i'm just not i don't know if georgia georgia's good georgia's not georgia great seven and a half it feels like a lot and georgia just doesn't seem like a lot scare me to like blow anyone out so i'm gonna take old miss uh that's just i just don't think georgia has that like absolute pound you level that they've had in the past i think i don't i think you're right on that sense dan georgia's not vintage georgia right i still think we talk about that pyramid maybe people are saying again because it's not as shiny as years past georgia i still think it's pretty good lost to a really good alabama team i want to take georgia on the side here i agree with you it's a ton of points i'm going to take the under i still believe in georgia's defense and that unit has been playing pretty well i'm going to take the under i think georgia wins the game i'm not confident enough to lay the number i'm going to take georgia georgia georgia mississippi under i'm gonna take georgia okay but i i don't i'm not gonna bet this in real life i i just i'm not that old miss i know what you're saying kentucky but like washington state to me is one of the worst things in college football so i i don't get that last game at all i know it's a look ahead um but that was that was eye-opening i i'm going to take georgia yeah just one of those things like i expected it so it didn't it wasn't as eye-opening although i didn't expect them i mean losing outright would have been really bad washington 34 they were laying 34 in that game give you an idea penn state northwestern was 21 penn state ucla was 24 they were 33 34 point favorites by the way washington state i just want to say they're not i think you might be confusing washington state with oregon state no i don't think i am washington state's three and three they're not they're bad but like oregon state is the team in those two that is they just fired their coach they're non-competitive they're losing by 60 non-competitive the uh they lost to washington 59 to 24 they they lost in north texas 59 to 10 right but if you watch that washington washington state game washington scored 28 points in the in the fourth quarter washington scored 28 points in the in the fourth quarter that was a little bit closer because i remember i think i've had washington in that game and it was like what's going on here um i mean they're not good north texas 42 to 3 at halftime by south florida yeah their offense is awesome yeah uh wazoo's in the team picture of worst power four teams though without a doubt i think are they oklahoma state are they power four anymore they're not oh yeah you're right i i always lump them in you're right i apologize it's okay oh yeah wisconsin's in that category yes oklahoma state i had to go fight with the chancellor now i don't even know this who this woman is i think west virginia is down there too obviously yelling at her all the time she doesn't care about she's like uh uh what was actually i don't want to get him in trouble because i think his lawsuit's doing okay what are you saying anti anti football pussy that's the chancellor no i that's what i'm saying my own words but we have a friend who might have used that words before yeah i know the friend is who are you talking about the uh the i'm saying that you the wisconsin chancellor is a is an anti anti football pussy yeah yeah i think so i think she is can you call a woman a pussy yes okay so there it is i i just did the quote you're using a quote i'm using a quote i'm you i'm merely using a quote people that's a quote that was just a quote um okay all right uh what what uh next game, next game, next game. tennessee alabama what a card boys what a saturday doesn't it feel like we have maybe it's because of the college football playoff and there's just always elimination games but it feels like every saturday has been loaded uh tennessee at alabama alabama minus eight and a half over under 58 and a half dave i'll start with you i'm taking the points i'm taking tennessee and i'm taking the over i listen again i've said it like 10 times i have ty simpson to win the heisman so i was all over that 20 to 1 but i am not sold in alabama and i continue to say i think the sec has a lot of teams that are very similar i think tennessee gives them a good game here so i'll take i'll take the points i'm i'm not i'm a little more sold on alabama than you are i just eight and a half is so many points that feels like and but what hasn't sold you on alabama is just florida state because i actually thought the fact that they beat vandy and mizzou well i don't think mizzou is any good okay and van and vandy it like to me all the shit that diego pavia talked and vanderbilt beat him last year and then vanderbilt goes into alabama and could have beat them if they didn't fumble inside the five and throw an interception to me that's a ringing that is means alabama is just like everybody else now in the sec old alabama wins that game by a hundred they could have lost okay but it's just like everybody else now in the sec but here's here's be my counterpoint obviously they're not old alabama i'm not i'm not saying they are saban death star alabama last year was very similar where they beat georgia you know in uh that was actually at alabama right that georgia alabama game last year they beat georgia and then they the next week they fall flat on their face against vanderbilt this year alabama beats georgia so we knew they could get up for georgia because they always get up for georgia then they take care of business against vandy take care of business at mizzou on the road so they're not death star but i do think what they've done their body of work in the last three weeks they're making the steps back towards that and it's not like last year where they would have a big win and then they would go lose to oklahoma on the road yeah i just think they're very beatable the one thing that makes me nervous about tennessee is they i don't know if you guys saw any of that arkansas tennessee game uh i was watching back some of it and they got gashed on the ground i don't know if you guys saw any of that arkansas tennessee game uh i was watching back some of it and they got gashed on the ground yeah we had 240 yards yeah i was with big t uh it could have been a little bit of a look ahead could have been but remember tennessee the week before that went to mississippi state and that was a very tight game so tennessee's been a little i don't know they've been a little shaky eight and a half though fucking kills me i'm gonna take the over in this game taking the over points yeah over i lean alabama if i if i had if i had gunned ahead uh utah byu did dave your game holy war byu's plus three and a half over under 49 and a half i'm taking byu but i don't love the game i won't touch it i'm just taking it strictly because the game is at byu yeah i'm gonna take byu too i hate i hate having to bet on a bockmeyer in a big game and he wears 47 but it's at byu this just feels like one of those games you just take the home team doesn't it that's what i'm doing yes i don't know if there's very excited to see the hatred in this rivalry yeah because it seems it's real and it seems like a it's hatred but it's also maybe a little classy hatred no i don't know that it is well they don't swear i think they're gonna swear i'll keep you posted on if i hear swears i'd like to know how many i don't think they publicly swear but i think they very much swear okay yeah i'll keep you i may get like a little like umpire counter thing just every time i hear a swear yep click i'll come because if you text me at like you know i don't know like 10 a.m and you're like hey i've i've heard like 20 swears i might i might up my bet on byu i'm gonna get a counter i think i'm gonna hear swears it's gonna be a swear game for me it's gonna that's gonna decide i'll report back uh okay what's your pick here you're taking utah in utah stanford riders taking utah okay uh last game usc at notre dame this is an elimination game uh usc still has some games ahead of them there could be a world where usc wins this game and both these teams don't go to the we were looking at we were looking at this yeah usc if they get through notre dame which is a tough ask on the road obviously eight and a half or whatever it's at seven and a half now eight and a half nebraska at nebraska not you know can't throw eclipse on the field and win northwestern iowa and then it gets you to at oregon and then ucla who's playing better but like usc is going to be in the mix if they get past notre dame here too dan as well yeah just as much usc could still lose yeah uh yes yes no dave's right hold on hold on hold on no no yeah they would have one big 10 loss yes okay yeah so the reason the reason why i said this is an elimination game and you're right dave is that notre dame it is 100 percent notre dame's gonna win or else that's it what no this is their only win left this is the only time to get a showcase win right you don't have to yell at us that's what we just said yeah we just said that i i think it is an elimination game for usc as well i do not think that usc is going to run the table after this game i i think they will right i think they will probably they have to go at nebraska and at oregon they'd be they'd be in a michigan situation like michigan michigan runs the table they're still in it's just unlikely seeing what we've seen that they will run the table correct so i i think it's more like usc i'm assuming is not going to run the table they're going to lose to one of nebraska or or oregon so in that in that respect it is an elimination game because if they win this game they can lose to nebraska and oregon and still be that's put a lot of respect on nebraska's name i'll say that i listen nebraska hasn't beaten a ranked team in 100 years cincinnati's pretty good i agree nebraska's kind of they're looking nebraska is a control your own destiny team yeah and michigan smashed them but they got some distractions with rule though but they have to play they have to play at nebraska and that you know i did text i i texted will to be like why is he said he doesn't think he's leaving but there are tornado sirens going off in lincoln no oh no yeah am i crazy to kind of want james franklin at wisconsin now that's a great question jason that gets my pick by the way that's my official endorsement pick i'm surprised you're not he just never do it like if you said my guy leaves sharone's fired i would want dillingham oh i would definitely want dillingham but dillingham to me seems like a type of guy who he's you know from arizona he's arizona state like he he is committed to building arizona state you don't i i think i could pull him out of there to michigan yeah i mean i would love dillingham that's i'd even maybe he won't go to wisconsin no offense but like michigan's premier no offense taken i i know exactly where i stand and he'd have this quarterback for another what two years listen he know that well that's the thing though we were talking about this the other day in today's nil and this is what signetti did signetti took his jmu team which is also is instantly good and helps moving forward but you assume if dillingham left you take the quarterback wherever he goes levitt and then they're instantly good so that's the crazy part when the when you take a coach really if you're looking at a new coach you should look at their team too it's like all right who can you take with me because if you are instantly successful that helps you then get recruits and stay successful yeah no i agree i listen i'm i'm i'm realistic about wisconsin i am trying to i'm trying to scratch and claw for wisconsin to get back to a tier 2 big 10 team that's our ceiling so that's yeah so then i think james franklin would be a good great yeah if you tell me he wins the games he's supposed to win and we go we win nine games i'd sign up today there's nothing in that contract huh that's like you can just go right you get fired go right to another big 10 team i don't i wonder if you forfeit everything i don't i don't know i don't know i am though jason eck new mexico he's a badger he's got juice i love that guy i think they need to go with someone who understands wisconsin and has some juice you know what i mean yeah yeah um okay uh so notre dame usc i'll just say because dave said his my mortal is going to be the over in this game 61 and a half i don't you love over you love modeling i love it i love it well i i got off it and i've lost uh the winner in this game i think has scored 30 plus points like nine out of 10 years you know they're talking about ending this i just read an article today there's like possibility that this ends they're not okay well i i would be shocked it would have to be from usc and notre dame is notre dame gonna end it i will i'm i'm taking usc plus the eight and a half i i'm higher on usc than people think do you know notre dame's tradition with the stanford usc thing they always so they set that up so that every year notre dame alum and the team can go to california like right before thanksgiving so they do it it's either stanford at home early in the year usc later in the year or usc at home early in the year stanford later in the year so i would be shocked the article says there is a feeling of forebonding surrounding this game however foreboding forebonding foreboding yeah you're right forebonding would be like there even getting closer yeah yeah there is a feeling of foreboding surrounding this game however as there aren't any more trojan irish games moving forward so i don't know and but the series is now in danger because of well i don't really know actually so based on unless this guy's full of shit i did read that today because it popped on my timeline it was like 10 usc notre dame games that shaped the history my dad obviously growing up talking about that the 55 points in a row the green jersey game with the trojan horse i was in college with friends rooting for notre dame in the bush push like you know yeah it's it's i read it all obviously but now they're saying it might end up so that would shock me that would shock me i'm not saying you didn't you don't have that would be that would suck that would shock me shock suck all right what do you got in this game i actually had the over as well um also shout out i don't know how many times it's hit in a row now but caitlin clark gave me like in week two i'm like we were just talking best she's like i just bet jeremiah loved to score two tds every game he scores two tds every single day yeah he's on awesome he's awesome did you guys see by the way uh people getting mad because caitlin clark being a cubs fan makes sense from iowa but he wouldn't put on the yeah she would put on then tyrese halberton but do you do you guys know the story no tyrese halberton oh i thought you meant she would she would no she went to a game they gave her a jersey and because she was a chief a cult she wouldn't put on a court that that she did but then tyrese halberton so they were showing like you know tyrese halberton rooting for the cubs too and i guess i don't know if this is exact fact but the story goes that tyrese halberton was supposed to throw out the first pitch in a brewers game and then he eliminated the box and they canceled it so he's like fuck you guys which is very funny very funny uh wait what was your pick in this game rico i like usc a lot of points i think it's gonna be high score i think just i'm gonna take usc okay uh to that point of everybody saying notre dame runs the table i think go in the mix to that oregon game down the road we'll see but okay uh let's do cards by the way rico can we be done with iowa state i called that correctly i got in your hole but you've been chasing stupid stupid and then i lost the prop of the year the next day brutal you had prop of the year i texted you about it yeah dobbins oh shit i missed that jerry fucked me so bad on sunday i no one's ever fucked me worse he got a tip from a guy who's been asking for a job for like five years and who's already giving us a bad tip yeah and and pretended like it was he didn't tell me who it was i found out later who it was but he pretended that it was like some insider tip that was incredible and i just just buried me at raising canes we focus on making the most craveable chicken finger meals getting them right every time that's why we hand batter every chicken finger mix every cane sauce butter every texas toast stir every slaw salt every fry squeeze every lemon and brew every ounce we do this inside every raising canes every day because when you do it right you can taste it in every bite raising canes chicken fingers one love uh okay rico card sure south carolina plus the five and a half i think they can win the game outright uh i'm gonna take ohio state first half minus 14 and a half and the over in the game 40 and a half okay so can i say one thing about this game and i listen i'm not i'm not saying bet wisconsin you'd be fucking a moron to bet wisconsin the one thing i would make me nervous about betting ohio state in this game is i do think ryan day and luke fickle are friends so i do think there might be an element of i'm not gonna rub his nose into it when he's about to get fired that's all i'm gonna say there could be an ohio state running out the clock situation we don't but first half is different first half is different well i took first half i did like the game over dan to be i mean i think ohio state's gonna get some short fields unfortunately like of course with your offense like and at that point he's doing an injustice to his kids he's got to run a play you know like if they start on the 46 he's got to run i saw a stat wisconsin's quarterback had a 0.8 passer rating against iowa if you just drop back and throw the ball in the dirt 20 times that's like a 0.2 or something it's it's it was crazy it was crazy so i had that iowa wisconsin in like you said betting scared dan when we were talking i had it in for iowa and i didn't do it because i'm betting scared i'm the most scared better there is in america right now it's fucking can't win betting scared and that's all i'm doing every night i'm like oh i gotta i gotta win these and then it's like something goes wrong it's like fuck i gotta i did put 50 did put 50 grand on the pass to win the super bowl they're gonna be in the playoffs they're 35 to 1 they're definitely gonna be in the playoffs um okay so rico go ahead with your card sure georgia ole miss under uh wyoming air force over a and m minus seven and a half against arkansas i think they can pound them uh memphis uab over 63 and a half i wanted to add memphis it's a clear look ahead for memphis uab just fired their coach i still think memphis pounds them but i'm gonna take the over 63 and a half usc plus eight and a half utah minus three and a half vandy minus two and a half and you want the mortal now uh no let's wait all right uh i'm going like i said i'm going short card so i'll add a couple but uh everything that we've said so far and then i'm gonna take unlv boise over 62 and a half and texas tech minus nine and a half i i'm i'm scared i gotta i gotta limit my plays this weekend to try to get back on track dave this card scares me a little because i have a lot of overs and to me that just means you have a big square block on your head but i'll start minnesota plus eight and a half at home against nebraska i keep betting against nebraska keep winning they keep are two bigger favorites every week they're not very good in my mind so i think this is a close game vandy minus two and a half lsu i it was the first i already told you it's my mortal i love vandy here northwestern minus three and a half at home against purdue uh indiana minus 27 and a half at home against michigan state i think i think indiana is like those old college teams like kate mcnaugh and ucla at home they may win by 50 every week um and i'm arkansas over 61 and a half maryland ucla over 52 and a half iowa at home minus two and a half against penn state i do not think penn state rallies the ships here they got no quarterback um who's the who's the interim i don't know how fat is he that's a good question i'm gonna look it up uh let me know when you get usc nordheim over 61 and a half tennessee plus seven and a half or eight and a half whatever it is over 58 and a half in that game uh syracuse pit over 55 and a half uh missouri auburn plus one and a half at home against missouri auburn's been people saying hugh freeze on a hot seat that's bullshit he's just had horrible luck this year the team's not that bad um you're good he's in shape oh great uh stanford plus 17 and a half at home against florida state over 53 and a half okay uh let's do mortals good show a lot of ball talk on this show hank take a wisconsin oh wow plus 25 and a half yeah for that reason i heard yeah i heard fickle and ryan day are friends so yeah i mean i i just listen there's a world where they could try to take the foot off the gas and still cover the spread that's the only thing that makes wisconsin is that bad but i do think there's going to be they're not going to try to run it up on them it's a ballsy pick ballsy pick uh zoopy texas 12 and a half at kentucky okay you nailed that game by the way dave i was way off texas oklahoma material shouldn't come back it's not healthy no no like you could just see the way he was throwing the ball it just he rushed back five games through the rest of the way yeah evo uh louisville plus 13 and a half add that to my card that's a friday nighter yeah that's at miami i'll take uh duke minus one and a half duke minus one and a half oh by the way add california minus 10 to my card unc has to go all the way to the west coast late game that's that's yeah i was looking at that and love cal's offense past couple of weeks yeah well i don't like anything about about unc yeah also also add clemson minus 10 to my card i comes in starting to do the thing where they're just starting to get they get okay yeah yeah and they're like under the radar like oh clemson's just killing teams now that happens all the time teams that start slow turn around and you gotta you gotta you gotta be on it yeah you forget you forget that they exist almost and then you're like oh i had them against unc i didn't have them last week i should have who they killed last week i mean it's tough to tell unc just may be such a shit show but yeah oh no i think they killed bc last week did they kill bc they did they beat bc like a drum lesson bc is terrible too yeah uh jack already went duke minus one and a half uh dave you have your mortal is vandy mine is over in usc notre dame rico finish us off uh i'm gonna take unlv boise over 62 and a half okay all right little
