Not, not in real life, but like, I mean, I did kind of good real life, but I was like, oh, and seven in NFL, so it didn't matter. One in six. Yeah, NFL, you know, I hate it. I was texting Dave on Sundays. Like, I hate this. I hate gambling. I was like, yeah, I'm just, it's the, I just can't win in the NFL right now. NFL is stupid. It, it, it, I may be, I mean, you know, out on the NFL, mad at the NFL, the NFL is done. The Jaguars, I know this is a college show, but the Jaguars and Cardinals combo on Sunday was so brutal. I actually had Carolina, that was my only win. Oh, geez. That was just like, the Cardinals just decided to play two and a hat. They scored on the opening drive of the second half, and they're like, all right, we're good. Like, we got this game. We don't have to worry about anything else. Rico, how are you doing? So, so the records, bad week for me, bad week for Rico. The records now are Dave is in first place, 23 to six. They're 23 and 18. I'm 48 and 42. Rico's 14 to 26. The squeeze out by Dave has been successful. Ever since he squeezed me out and limited my plays. I've gone the opposite direction. So congrats to Dave on that. Rico, you've had a bad, bad run. Yeah, there's like 12, 13 weeks left, you got to figure out a way to go two, three games above 500 each week and just build and build and build, and we'll see, we'll go from there, but it's been ugly. Yeah, it's definitely been ugly. Yeah, and you're, you're mortal Iowa state almost lost outright. Yes, I do think if that kid doesn't run into the kicker in the first half, it changes a little bit of the course of the game. Okay, covers, covers the first half number. They got a three and out about seven minutes left. Arkansas state takes forever to come back down on that drive. They did go right back down and score. I think that changes. There wasn't there like a holding call there. There was some definitely definitely. Oh, yeah, you got the luckiest call in the whole game. Yeah, at that point though, the holdings didn't necessarily affect the spread. You would have needed a miracle kind of to that degree, but you got the luckiest call in the whole game, though. Thanks. Like they could have lost the game. Yeah, yeah, I know, but at that, at that point, I like, I'm, it's a bad pick. It's a bad pick. Top one. So what are we talking about? They want to buy eight, right? Yes. What are we talking about? You like, I, yeah, it was a bad pick. I'm not trying to defend. I think in the, in the first half things could have changed. They could have covered the first and which I also had. I mean, that's why I mean, I know. Yeah, but they made us all be dead. I think awful, awful, awful penalty, awful penalty. No, awful pick, awful pick, too. Yeah, awful pick. Right. But, yeah. I was pizza fast. Pizza fast. Good. Uh, yeah. Yeah. It's always a good event. You were there, right? Yeah. Sorry. You brought. He brought his family in, which I thought was bullshit if we're being honest. I text it Dan instantly. I'm in the RV. Brieco brings it is entire family. That is bullshit. I don't want to see them. I don't want to know that there's other people involved when you're being in what I like, yes, you're a despicable guy. So I see your family and it's like, oh, they're calling my husband Hitler and in this horrible dude. And I guess see them people like daddy. Is that the guy who, you know, says you're the worst guy alive? Yeah, it is. I shouldn't have to, they shouldn't be in my thought process. Dan said, I think accurately human shields. Yeah. Yeah. He did, he did it like a few months ago. I met his whole family and I don't want to see them. I want, yeah. This changes everything in my head. Like, now I got to see you as a real guy. Like, I don't want to do this. I don't want to, I don't want to put in this spot. So yeah, he's, you know, it's bullshit. It's like, uh, when a, when a coach loses a game and then they have their kids at the, at the presser after and they're just like, look, I'm just a dad like, you know, it's not lost, but it's I'm just a dad. That's what Kinello did. I hate when people do that. I want to have a great family. The micropole, whenever he loses a horse or he takes a picture with his kiddie ice cream. I have bullshit. I don't want to see. Yeah. It's a very coach K move. It's just like, uh, oh, actually wins and losses. Don't matter to me. It's about the, it's about the big picture. No, it's not. Yeah. But they, they, they matter a whole hell will lot when you win. Like I, it's, it's only when you lose. So anyways, I didn't want to see it. I thought it was a dirt bag move by Bosco. I agree. To be, to be with your family on a Saturday afternoon and bring it in front of Dave's face, dirt bag move. It wasn't like I really, they came in, they came out. Woosh, woosh. It was just clearly intentional Bosco move. No, I'm not designed. My wife is like, listen, but, you know, do you think we can meet Dave? It's been years and years like I'd like to say hello. Sorry. Yeah, I mean, it's very appreciative. It was, there was no, there was no sympathy. There was no like holding it over your head. It was just, yeah, hello. Appreciate it. It was also in out. It's also crazy just meeting, uh, your wife is knowing like what you've said about us. Like you, like I know, when I met her, I was like, all very nice to meet you. But I'm thinking of him the back of my head, the things that have been said in that household about me and Dave and how much we've ruined his life have to be off the charts. Yeah. Security Mike and Security Pat moved in closer. They don't know what was about to happen. There's also a lot of ownership. Yeah. She said, you know, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be an asshole for like, it's, it's, it's accountability. Okay. Okay. It was fun to have. And you hear Basco for the stream. Good stream on Sunday. Good chop with the boys. Did you see Dave? Did you happen to catch the fake fuck that he did to me, which was such a Basco move. Was that not the most Basco move of all time? They put time back on the clock, Dan. I could sniff what was going to happen. I felt bad for you. It's your, yeah, but you were still kind of in it. That put it away. And as it turned out, I didn't need that exact touch. But I didn't need the fake one. He scored a hundred for people don't see it. Yeah. He said to score a touchdown. And he scored a touchdown in my face. And, and Rico cheers and then goes fuck like trying to get trying to pretend like he was mad with me. And then he's like, but he's fist pumping. It was a fake fuck. You think I put me. I saw it on. Yeah. I put, I put the friendship above the page. I don't care. I don't care. That was the point. It's like I, you should root for your bet. Just don't fake fuck me. Right. I know. You did read it. You, you, you, you 100% did not put the friendship above the paycheck at all. That's the opposite. Yeah. So, all right. Makes sense. All right. Let's take a quick break to tell you about row dot co row sparks are a two in one prescription treatment for. stronger, harder erections, they hit the bloodstream faster because they dissolve under the tongue, uh, super easy process, um, to, I always like to dissolve, um, type of things way easier. Uh, getting hard faster means having more sex. After they dissolve, they work in 15 minutes on average, roast sparks can give guys thicker, longer erections than you usually have because they get fuller roast sparks, give you the boost to last longer. So it's more fun for you both. Roast days active in your system up to 36 hours. So you can go back to back and round after round and be ready the morning after. Listen, obviously, you know, it's still nice out. You get in towards Christmas time. Everybody's, uh, dating their people from the summer, um, you know, it's a fun time. Everybody still loves each other wedding season. Like you always want, um, the thicker, longer erections wrote, wrote, wrote take scare, that row.co, row connects guys with a medical provider 100% online. So there's no awkward conversation with in person providers. If approved treatment ships directly to their door, if prescribed new sexual health patients get $15 off, uh, sparks on a recurring plan, connect with a provider at row.co/pick to find out if prescription roast sparks are right for you. That's ro.co/pick for $15 off your first order. It was a good Sunday might not be out there for a while. It was a good Sunday. Yeah. What's, uh, I think you may be off the show. Oh, no. Well, we got one week. We got one week. Dan, we got a deep lineup. If he says I'm not hitting, I'm not hitting. So the best you can do is go to the cage and I will have six fucking doughnuts and I'll be swinging. But we have a deep, deep lineup. There's no woe me. T-bob's great. The show was unbelievable. Would have been nice to talk the day of landing being a ducky guy. But it's, that's how it works. Deep lineup, figure it out. Get in the lab. Get better. He's the boss. He makes the call. It's not so much an indictment of Bosco. I'm figuring out the thing. I think most people know, uh, the rundown I like hosting. I can host it. I get the subjects. I go down a good flow. This show hosts isn't always my thing. Like, if you look at like, we're talking to Molly Quarim who got fired, but like the first take where you have a host and you have two people who go back and I'm a slant. Like, I'm so worried about hosting. I'm not being able to do the other. So I thought last Monday's show with T-bob who was definitely worried about T-bob being too much when I'm on it. Like T-bob, I just need to serve it up and not do exaggerated laughs and let like the people around. I thought it went really good. I think it was a good show. And I was even there. And it's really hard to do it remote. But I thought it was good. So I'm moving around. And if T-bob is a host that works with me and Walker and maybe Jay Will. I don't even know Jay Will. But that I'm going to see what the best show is. If that means boss goes on the pine. It means boss goes on the pine. I Jay will taxi goes, am I out? I go, I'm figuring out rotations. I put it in basketball talk. It's show free. I'm going to figure out what I think worked. That was the first show when it ended. I'm like, okay, that was pretty good. Yeah. It's hard to do. It's hard to figure out. This is why when Dave and I talked about it, I was like, we need someone who can host, who can kind of run point. That's why T-bob. I was like T-bob should do that. And you got to get comfortable with T-bob. Yeah. And I don't want Iverson running the point putting up 40. I need I need Stockton. I need him just Dition. Right. Right. And I think he's very coachable and he did a good job. But yeah, it's a it's a harsh. It's also a hard show to figure out the flow because everyone's doing one week one day. So it's not like you'd be able to figure it out a lot faster. If you were doing it every single day, five days a week, you would have it like done by the week two. But you're you're on week three and you've only done three episodes. And it's like the flow of figuring out funny videos to get in that you want to talk about. That would be rundown videos. Like we spent a lot more time talking NFL and caught like when we do the rundown, it's like all right, NFL college. It's a quick convo. You go and then you're hitting the funny video. So it's a lot of just figuring out it's figuring it out still. And Bosco, our first show, I didn't think was crazy. Again, it's not you. It's you that you got suspended for a week and we're figuring things out. Yeah. I mean, this suspension was justified. Anytime you get hit first and then react, that's that's justified. But yeah, let's you know, for all the he can't change. He's fucked up. He's an asshole. He's a dirt bag. What's good for Barsal is not always necessarily the best for you. But putting Barsal in front three years ago, you can't do it. You won't do it. Here we go. What's good for the team? Let's do it. We got a deep, deep lineup. And we're definitely probably adding more people. So let's get going. They said you never do a show in the doing you and you stepped up to the plate and did two. That's true. Right against my own will after being assaulted. That's great point. You're a tactic. I am not suspended. But that's very big of you, Rico, that you, uh, that you're okay with this. Uh, but it does sound like have you met his family, Hank? Yeah. Yeah in the office last year. He brought in the whole family. Yeah, we came. He was on the portal. He was heavily in the portal. What? Rico has, has, uh, Dave, he's, he's, he's obviously you've seen it. The song and dance and maybe Willie Woney will move to Chicago. He likes to talk about it in bad college basketball terms. So he's like big transfer in the portal. I just like transfer from New York to Chicago. Yeah, that's how he told himself. Oh, so they were in the Chicago office. And I do think he actually would like to, to, to, to, to move. I think it's genuine. But yeah, big transfer in the portal. That's the reason. Not even a transfer. You're in the same company. Big transfer in the portal. Gotta keep it light. Keep it light. I've, I've been enjoying Bosco this year. He's been fun, but it does stink because it sounds like Dave, you keep saying we're going to figure it out, but it sounds like the Bosco not on the show has already been figured out. Well, again, I'm going to be in Chicago next week. T-bob is going to host a Monday. We'll see how dynamic is with me there. Maybe it's more of a remote. We're figuring it out. It, it, this is, if we're, again, I'm you, he's using the portal. I'm using out figuring, I'm using figuring my rotations, uh, basketball and, and, and NBA season analytics. We're, we're at like, game four. So a long season figuring out what works. But I certainly liked, I thought that was our best show. And, and, and I'll try to build on that to try to create our best Monday shows. What are the analytics? Say, Rico, what was that? Analytics in terms of Dave finding out the best, or best, well, coaches, the five best guys on the court. What's the highest plus minus? Best duos. Ken Palm. They look at when this, these two guys are on the court. It works the best. So yeah, analytics. I also think, which I said earlier, which applies to Jay Will, and applies the Bosco a bit. They're basketball guys first. So maybe when basketball rolls around, there's more of that in, in Walker's definitely football. I mean, Walker and I have a great dynamic. We've done a lot of shows together. So we'll see. There's a lot of, there's a lot. There's a lot of shows. It's a long deal. Good to go. And this clearly is not, yes, this isn't like punishing Bosco or shot at Bosco. Absolutely not. It could have been any, it could have been any person on any of the five day weeks in terms of what can work and what could be the best rotation? Well, I don't know if anyone would have gotten suspended one week. But yeah, that's fair. That's fair too, Dan. I got to be better. Because you did put yourself in the spot to have this happen. What you guys forced to do into the casino. That was Jackie Tables. I had absolutely nothing to do with any of that. He's right. It was Jackie Tables and Gas in the poker tournament. I had nothing to do with the poker tournament. Great episode though. Did numbers. All right. Also, Dave, what do you think? What would they think about? Were they happy with big noon? It was fun being your PR person. Yeah. Well, what I thought was interesting on that one. And I tweeted out, you're like, I'm gonna answer the questions like you will. It'll infuriate people. I'll be your PR. I answered it like I thought you would have. Yeah. No, you didn't. It was funny. Rob Stone just being like, I know. He actually had this pizza thing scheduled for like six months. Like, yeah, I know. Yeah, it was fun though. Those guys are the best. It was a lot of fun. Went out to dinner with them Friday night. Like they're easy to work with. So it's fun. And we're gonna be in Utah on Saturday. So we're doing this. No gambling in Utah, right? I not only know gambling, but I was looking it up. And it's like if you if like you and I make a handshake bet, I think we go to jail. Can you drink? I think you could I think there's some places you could drink. But yeah, I was because I had the same thought last night. I was like, I got to get my bets in. I bet you there's no gambling. I was like, let me just double check. Who knows? Maybe there's maybe that's something Mormons do. And I don't know. And it was literally like no gambling, no cards, no nothing. So yeah, but I'm excited to go. Looks beautiful. Yeah, I've never seen it. New campus always fun to see these places. They actually invited. I want to do it. I don't know when we're leaving to like the the student section is like we are the best student section in the country. They actually want you and I. They're like, we do all these traditions come in for the beginning of the game, but I don't know that well off time. Yeah. Hey, pick them listeners. We're going to take a quick break. for a message from one of our partners. - Hey Alabama, StelBlue, coffees, new canned lattes are here and in a store near you.

We got Texas Tech at Utah, starting us off. So again, we'll be there big noon kickoff. We're gonna do the Barstool College football show. Then big noon kickoff Dave will be out there early. - Get there early. - Seven a.m. was starting. Oh, I think it'll be a good crowd. Because, yeah, they were saying big 12, like some of these schools, like you know, they don't usually have shows come. We're gonna be there. We're gonna do a double header. Shout out by the way. Northwestern ended up being a great crowd. I don't know if you saw some of the clips. - I saw all the end of it. - Yeah, I saw that they showed up. - It was a shitty weather and they showed up. So yeah, Utah, Texas Tech, Texas Tech. It's right now it's sitting Utah minus three. Over under 57 and a half. I think Dave, you gotta bet this. You gotta bet this Utah just out of spite for the kid that's trying to pretend that we fired him because he said thoughts and prayers to try to. - That kid, that kid, I hate that kid. - It's got your culture. - It's got your culture, trying to do got your culture. - That kid, that kid, I didn't even know what was going on and I see a post, Texas Tech kid saying, "I'm a fraught." - Yeah. - Like crazy. Side note, our, I don't love the way our people handle it either. Like, before you fire a kid over something like this, you could just suspend them and be like, "Let me kick it up the chain to be like how we handle." But the whole thing was a shit show, but that gets the worst from Texas Tech. - Yeah, so if people didn't see the, the Viceroy program, it's a hard and fast rule. You cannot tweet anything that's personal. So you have your personal account. You could tweet whatever you want for your personal account, but your, your, the actual Viceroy account is a brand. It's a brand account. It's like, it's like, remember, they found like the chargers, those, these are funny tweets, but the char, the old, the guy who used to run the Chargers account, when Twitter was like brand brand new, he would tweet like, really wanna go to PF Changs with my wife tonight, like, hungry for PF Changs. Like, he would just tweet that shit. You could look it up. It's very funny. But it was like, when Twitter first started and it was a guy running the Chargers account and he was just tweeting off top of his head. You can't tweet anything personal. He tweeted, "Thoughts of prayers." Which is not a problem. If you, like, it's obviously thought of prayers, but you just tweeted from your personal account and then he, like, basically said that we're the worst people and Dave fired him and I'm a fraud. Yeah, for political reasons. It's like, no, it's just you, if you have a Twitter account, a Viceroy brand account, you shouldn't be tweeting your personal opinion or personal anything. Anything, like any, any account, like Wendy's, not whatever, you're not gonna see them doing personal. Now he's gonna be like, how is that even a political? It doesn't matter, you told not to do it beforehand. Like, it is a political thing. We're not trying to have 18 year old interns. We don't even know with 200 of them deciding what they can tweet and what they can't. So there's a back and forth after this with, or the people running the Viceroy programs. He's also, by the way, calm people like assholes from, he's like, in the company like you're an asshole. From the brand of the account, just use your social. And before I even knew any of this happened, he had written like an essay, how I'm a fraud and shit. It's like, if he reached out to me, I may have been like, you made a huge mistake. Don't do it again. And you can continue to run the thing. Like, but he didn't, he went nuclear before I even knew it was an issue. And in, like, we have a million people who commented on that assassination from their personal account. - Right, right. And it's also like, you can still get fired from your personal account, depending on what you do. Like, they're, but everything goes personal. But like, that doesn't mean you can just do still. If somebody's like, you know, I'm a big fan of the KKK, like, you'll get fired if you do that from your personal account. So that doesn't mean you can do anything, but your personal, it's pretty clear. If you have a personal opinion on world views and you're not talking about Texas Tech or Texas Tech Sports, which 100% of the posts to that point is about Texas Tech and Texas Tech Sports, you're a caretaker of the account. You're not putting your personal interest bias, whatever it may be on that account. Like, what if somebody went the other way is like, R-I-P, George Floyd? Like, that's political too. We don't want that on the branded accounts that aren't yours. And so it's, it's pretty simple. - And it also, it turned into a point where he was, he's now kind of almost using Charlie Kirk's death to try to grow his own personal and be honest with me. - Yeah, he's like, on follow this one. - Follow this one and make it stink. - Yeah, it's grifting at that point. All right, so I'm taking Utah for that. - Yeah, you sold me Utah. - Yeah, you sold me. - And remind her that Texas Tech kid before him was also a rat. - No, we know, C-Riko, this is a crazy part. You have a guy who has like, this is a legitimate thing. And then Texas Deeks, who by all accounts is just a die-hard stooly, who you thought was intercircle after meeting him for like two seconds, made good content by sending us your DMs. He's not in the same boat as him. - Right, that's fair. (laughs) - They've been slugged for a long time. - And then he just, he just throws in Texas Deeks in there, being like, "Yeah, that guy sucks too." - He sucks for different reasons. - I'm not like the kid before, I'm not like the kid. - Before we ran the account, Dave, the kid before is the kid that Rico literally put into his intercircle DMs and then Rico-- - A Texas Tech intern, you did? - Yeah, and then the kid-- - I didn't know he was. - And then the kid told us, he sent us a screenshot, which again, good job, because that's funny as fuck. And then this is your you problem, Rico. You let people into him. - I'm just saying, yeah, I know. - I gotta get better. - But Utah for me. The key here is they gotta turn 'em over. The quarterback for Texas Tech, 11 TDs, one INT. So Utah's gotta get to 'em with those turnovers. I like Utah at home, minus the three. - Yeah, if we're really talking about this game, like Utah, I'm taking Utah minus three just because they're home. Both these teams, I think, are very good, but both these teams have played no one, because Texas Tech is absolutely whooped up on Arkansas, Pine Bluff, Ken State, Oregon State. Utah, B-U-C-L-A, who might be the worst team in the country, Cal Poly, and Wyoming. At Wyoming, which is a little tougher, but Wyoming's not very good. So yeah, I'm just taking the home team minus three. - I'm writing a note, keys to the game from Bosco, win the turnover battle. - Yeah, that's a good one. - That is some big time analysis. - So the kid doesn't-- - That is some big time analysis. - You're right, you're right, you're right. All right, that's fine, I'll just-- - That's fine, I'll cliche you to death now. Go ahead. - Oh no, let's go for it. - Let's go, how many can you get off? - Let's do it, let's see. - Let's see what happens. - Okay. - Buckle up. - It's about to get all full cliche-ish in here. - Illinois and Indiana, Indiana's minus four and a half, over under 52 and a half. I'm excited for this game. It's crazy where we're at. Like if you told me 10 years ago, Illinois and Indiana would be a top 20 matchup and big time stakes because it does feel like this could be an elimination game for potentially a at-large college football bid. If the winner of this team can take care of business, they have a couple, I think, Illinois plays a Ohio state, whatever, this game though will be the tiebreaker. I'm gonna take Indiana minus four and a half. I just think they're, I think they're, they're good again and I love, I love, I love out my, I just think Indiana, add Indiana, I'm taking Indiana minus four and a half. Rico, the home team is always more motivated and defense travels. So I'll take Indiana and the under. - Nice. - I don't agree with the home team, that's a backly shave. Defense travels cliche. - I'm a cliche guy. - One or two, but that wasn't, - Can I open it up? Can I actually speak? Or you want cliche's? - Well, I don't even have time. - I don't even have time. - I think it has one interception. You gotta figure out a way to turn them over. I played the defensive backfield. You've, listen, you built the fuck with different guys. - You never played the game. - You built a fucking empire, that's great. Like whatever, but you never had a fucking leadership in a locker room in Division three. Football, six tackles, MIT. One INT against Endicott. You'd win on the road. You don't know what it is. I blow, you never give up! Off the line on me even a 38 and 25 down you never get off the line on me. What's this? I'm coaches. We're always good with the film. They know hey look at this guy looks like that shoulder hangs a little bit Maybe a quick fucking pop quick fucking pop more in that shoulder. You're never getting off the line game prep You done I Like that Never getting off the line on bomb sure you got to figure out a way to throw different defenses at that kid and make Interceptions cause problems. That's not crazy. That's not just cliche. He's got 11 TDs and one I and T You got to figure out a way to get to turn over that they played nobody Throw a different blitz package at him corner was showing different things where we're rolling this we're looking like it's four We're rolling down to three You got to win the turnover battle You got to figure out a way to turn him over at home. Got to figure out a way to do that. Got to and obviously I like willing him at home Yeah Because the Utah pride turn him over And it's Utah at home. We've been talking about this for 10 years a great at home. Correct. That's why I'm not so can like you don't go into It just first of all the turnover battle Yes, it's the most important statistic in football. Thank you All right now address the fact that you would never be able to get off the line against Rico At this point, I probably couldn't get off first anybody. I don't know that's him is not there Go to O Rico. You just won that. Thank you. Yeah. I do like the under here like anybody Good play football where he played football Now that's not that's not true anybody not true. It's just a true body. It's not true. If you were a warm body, you could play football Okay Who couldn't play football? What knickles who couldn't play football there? Oh You had to be recruited you didn't just take anything. Oh, he and don't have the idea to go up Say I want a helmet to give you a helmet. You're on the That's bullshit. That is not bullshit. Knickles has a big recruiting budget. Give me a break Not big, but they definitely go up and down and he can play football. Yeah, like I don't even know why you would like who wants to play division three football Sounds like a guy who can't get off the line against Dave I mean against Rico It's an accomplishment to stay. I mean, not everybody's going to play MIT is not an accomplishment. That is not MIT football beating MIT football not an accomplishment Okay, where were you recruited for division three baseball? I would say like me not really recruited, but You don't want to continue your career? You didn't want it. I went to Michigan because and I tried to walk on because like, you know Division three baseball by the way is different than football. You're not getting like hit and banged up and stuff Yeah, this is Rico had to come even more a testament to your character. Yeah, you just made his point for him You made my point for me who would play D3 football Bosco crazy psycho Shit Rico. What was your record at knickles? We were down to I'm not hiding it. I'm not hiding it. We had in the first game our old conference quarterback my friend Oh and nine five and four five and four Two and seven I believe Two and eight lot of injuries. Lot of injuries the first two games that you won Emerson MIT No, we went five and four sophomore in junior Did you win the MIT game? We lost on a 45-final field goal in the rain Where do you play at MIT? And that field they got a field they do you had good stats for your team loss against MIT With those all little like Indian engineers and stuff You want to talk about guys with a discipline fucking game plan those guys are disciplined no off sides Look up fucking MIT's off sides in that game jack. How many probably none it's like playing a service account Yeah, that's true Discipline Dave you don't fucking know discipline All right, Illinois at Indiana. That's what we're on right now. Indiana is my sport half over under 52 and a half I do like the defense. I'll take the other okay, Dave I like Illinois the quarterback. I think it's a close game field goal game at the end I will say I'm totally confused No idea thought I understood What channels games are on I have no idea was there draft or something like this games on NBC. Yeah But they draft it. I talked to them last. Yeah, like Michigan Nebraska I would have sworn was gonna be like a big noon kickoff game that games on CBS It I thought Fox had like the big tent. No, so I talked to some of the people over the weekend because I was like how you know Evanston how are we here I know obviously Northwestern's not having the best season, but Oregon's good They have NBC CBS and Fox they sit down and they do a television draft. They draft weekends That's so cool. I know I said we need to tellivize that like I would be interested in watching this So like you should walk to the podium. I know I know I know because I said I was like oh, I said to the guys I was like oh, I'm sure we're gonna do Oregon Penn State Uh white out and they're like no NBC drafted that So they have they have the night game. So I do Does Fox have because the first pick is clearly Michigan Ohio State, right? Yeah. So do they always have the first pick Fox I think I think they said they get the first three, I believe got it. So that's how they got they get Ohio State Michigan And then they get uh, they picked Ohio State, Texas Got it got it. I think they have Ohio State Penn State too. I think that's super pick that's super risky too You could get a game in the middle of October early November. You're like like this can be lights out and somebody shits the bed And you're like now you're stuck with it too, you know, I also was trying to I was trying to get I was trying to like Do strategy talk with some of the behind-the-scenes Fox people I was like Why wouldn't you just take? Why wouldn't you not take Ohio State Michigan knowing that game has to be played at noon anyway Yeah, and they're like we got to do it out of respect. I was like oh, I'd fucking yeah, I just leave that knowing they can't pick it But I guess I guess that's like being a partner in something. I don't know. I just try to Why couldn't a different channel pick it Because they I don't think CBS and NBC wouldn't run a game at noon Just out of principle. Right. I don't think they yeah I think out of principle because that's the I think they have a lot of windows But yeah, it's fascinating. I wish I really would love to see a draft I also Rico you'll appreciate this. I was at a dinner We had a bunch of Fox people there and I was giving them all my best ideas and all my best ideas were literally just like play a college basketball game after the Super Bowl uh Move the crown up And what was the other one? It was just basically all get like give me more gambling things. Yeah, but I was like they like the idea of the uh Of the of a college basketball game after the Super Bowl. We need it. All right Miami, Florida Florida minus seven and a half over under 15 and a half If you bet Florida last week I feel bad because that was the right side and DJ lagway sucks Uh, I'm gonna take my I'm gonna take Miami in this game I just think they're really really good and I think their lines are really really good. I had Miami last week against usf There's gotta be some point where there's a little bit of a quit factor with Florida That was a demoralizing way to lose that game like b b Your defense hang that top and then DJ lagway through five interceptions. So I'm gonna take Miami minus seven and a half. Dave. What do you got? Repeat of the rat last week. I was on Florida. I thought it was a rat They should have covered this week again. The line looks like a rat. So again, I think this time they catch it I'm taking Florida. Keep this one close. Okay Rico You talk about the quit factor. I do think the defense holds a little longer here They only gave up 18 points. You guys quit at Nichols during the course this season. I tell you when No, we did not great coaching play for your brothers. So what was your record senior year? 28 so you never quit no Jack can you look up the end of the season for them on it Uh those engineers they got disciplined 18 points to South Florida last week Florida's defense gave up 10 first downs to LSU we know That sounds like a team that quit. Oh, so wait. They started the season two and one Was the score of the final game final game one the nights two then lost seven in a row. They lost 42 to 14 in the last game Yikes What okay? Who is that to? Winnick Now it's WNE Western New England University. That's a real school Yeah, man, Curry. I've never heard of them. Curry is at the Beverly, right? Powerhouse They ran the league. Oh, they did it. We'll come up the fucking animals. They got a great pro but baseball program too. Shout out J brew. Uh I think that the deep we don't know about my army's defense. I like the under 50 and a half here. Okay Dave, what was your pick here Florida? Yep. Okay. Uh, all right next game. We've got Oklahoma Auburn Auburn minus six and a half over under 47 and a half. Obviously big deal because it is uh what's his name going uh back against Auburn uh Jackson Arnold uh sorry it's Auburn at Oklahoma my bad Auburn at Oklahoma Jackson Arnold going back uh Oklahoma line of six and half over under 47 and a half what do you guys have for this game by the way that Miami games in Miami as well sorry I misspoke uh Rico Michigan I like that they finally have given under what what'd you say Michigan I wrote it down in order I apologize what'd you say I'm sorry you don't listen at all you don't even think of listening I was definitely upset about digging into the memories and trying to undermine my athletic abilities uh I did write it down in the order he sent it in the test play you played corn about it boy man I just like that I didn't listen what's the game then what's the game then I didn't listen this is this moment happened by the way David and the cave on Sunday he Max was sitting next to Rico Max was talking about the game and Rico was like agreeing and having a conversation them and I had to stop the conversation I was like Max just so you know Rico's talking about meek Phil he's not talking about the game with you he's so obsessed with whoever's talking about him behind him they were having a conversation and Max thought he was like normally just talking about what they're watching the whole time Rico was just being like yeah he sucks I was like we go talk about meek Phil he's not talking about Patrick Mahomes Max so that's the boss he's that he's that makes fields of pusher big time pusher big time pusher uh yeah no all you know what you know what made Bosco upset he was wearing Bosco was wearing a red shirt and he bet on the Eagles and meek Phil just said that's a tough look he also though I go with he gave a mess update and I said what are the giants doing because they're in the race and he goes they're playing right now against the Cowboys like I said I need it like I'm bigger than my problems like it's been two weeks no hippo ladies not answering the phone like again he put in the stick in there and then when the tiger eats you oh my god how could this animal do it just pray the fucking lock stays Phil it's all I gotta say you want to keep putting the stick in Oklahoma minus the six and a okay great here in the defense I like the defense I think the defense is what I'm I'm betting on here their defense is tackles well venibles uh I love material I bet I'm high has been 16 to one Dave what do you got here yeah I mean I bet stupid really hurt my day I thought temple I I thought temple would stay within the twenty three first half first quarter because I thought Oklahoma would have a letdown kind of Michigan I know temple stinks but watch out that new Mexico team look pretty good so man I think Michigan would be pretty good and they got slaughtered by Oklahoma so I'm gonna take the Sooners here uh and make that Michigan loss look a little better okay uh last game Michigan Nebraska Nebraska minus two and a half over under forty five and a half I think I know bosco likes oh yeah that's true I'll start I like the over in this game I do think Michigan's gonna be able to run the ball I like the over forty five and a half I love I love bifball uh everything he says is funny he they won't let him wear the sleeves uh the short sleeves he said he almost overheated and had to rip it off there in the game he called uh underwood batman his DNA now underwood ran the ball last week and I've been begging for it and they've said we're gonna let him run and and if you watch the highlights the guy can fucking run yep so it adds a whole new element uh I actually did Matt rules podcast yesterday so yeah yeah um but I like Michigan this is this is a must win for Michigan so hopefully they get I kind of think it's a must win for Nebraska too I think if either of the teams have uh visions on the playoffs they need to have it I'm gonna take Michigan they're at home big game big game okay huge game you have to win yes you have to win you can't lose to the Michigan the Nebraska I mean if they lose this and and and go on to feed the rest of the way they're in but that's a very hard thing to do if you think they've lost it too they need this game it's also kind of a I don't want to say it's like uh but if Nebraska wins the brasses on the rise and then it'd be like oh shit where's Michigan going kind of thing a vibes game for the rest of the season if you yeah I mean again the quarterback and we have a great recruiting class but I I think Michigan still team be reckoned with this year so I expect him to win all right Rico did you have any reasoning for the Michigan pick yeah I think they finally let Underwood play a little bit more like Dave said open up the offense I like underwood here I like Michigan Michigan minus the 2.5 how do you defend that as a quarterback at Nichols you got a quarterback again run throw what are you doing you got to you got to get pressure on the defensive line I mean you know that like that obviously is the key like you're hoping your guys are getting to him a little bit quicker uh but you worry if he's got an arm you obviously got to worry about the routes so I'm not worrying about him crossing the line till he gets a cross but he definitely causes problems good good analysis that's really good analysis thank you Rico don't worry about him running but once he crosses the line and scrim as you may turn into a runner so you got to watch out as far as a corner yeah yeah I'm I'm not yeah yeah that's what I asked for it was good hey pick them listeners we're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners still blue coffees new can lattes are here crafted with a 100% Colombian coffee each

do your cards uh yeah give it to me Purdue plus 24 and a half now they hung with USC last week I had that it's good pick I think I had USC not great uh everybody's talking you know Dan I know you're doing it a little bit of like a stick or kind of you know funny not a stick not a stick not a stick okay don't okay I already got him turn it on me I'm just I don't even know what you're talking about Notre Dame saying Notre Dame running the table 10 and 2 like being in the playoff you know that like that oh we're bound to have that conversation not a stick I think that will happen yes that's not a I don't think you know what a stick is I'm giving my actual thoughts whether they run the table or not I have no idea because they have defensive problems my whole point was there is no difference this year versus last year Notre Dame through two games last year they lost to NIU they had to run the table this year they lost to two college football playoff teams they have to run the table so everyone's saying the season's over I think they're in the exact same spot they were last year okay then you clarified I I apologize what part of that would ever have been a stick are you right I'm a writer I'm a writer no not necessarily right I'm a writer we'll sort it out not necessarily a stick but like the immediate thing of like oh well Notre Dame can still be in the playoff and kind of they 100% they win out they're gonna get in yes yeah I don't think they that's the thing I don't think they that's well that's where I'm going right but okay and that's where I'm switching the conversation maybe they're just not that good they still got USC down the road maybe Notre Dame granted they did play two very tough opponents what are we talking about her name for because they play Purdue and he has Purdue and I got Purdue so like I'll take the points here with Purdue maybe Notre Dame's not that good yeah okay okay uh he's going on my stick is a stick bet I forgot they were playing Purdue so that's okay uh speaking of teams who are just horrible Oklahoma state is a dumpster fire and it's a shame because I love Gandhi I'll take Tulsa plus the 12 and a half I also I think we should do this the three of us you know Dave used to do it and you got real close uh you obviously saw some double digit outright upsets last week a three to a three teamer in terms of money line between the three of us at the end like hey that's I think they win it on the field I will put Tulsa in that money line uh Georgia state Vandy under 53 and a half and Florida state second half points over 20 and a half gets to the mortal uh it goes coincide with the mortal wait second half what that a real bet you can point yes yes flat shout out draft kings best in the business Florida state second half points over 20 and a half that's a real bet yes yes okay all right uh I got Memphis plus seven and a half at home against Arkansas okay uh sorry Dan I think Wisconsin should be favored by ten and a half first anybody I'll take Maryland I agree uh Oregon minus 35 and a half Oregon state this is civil war not let's say that but yes that was used to be the name I or gonna say terrible uh I like Tulane, plus 11 and a half against Ole Miss and the over 61 and a half. The kid, the quarterback, the BYU, he went through all that shit there. I think he was accused of rape, then they said it wasn't rape, but you're not allowed to have sex at BYU, so he had to leave anyways. But this kid just has winning quarterback play. Florida, I already gave plus seven and a half rat Miami Illinois, plus four and a half Indian. I like the over in that too, 52 and a half, and I like the over Michigan State USC 56 and a half, and then Michigan plus minus the two and a half. Walt Dan's doing his card, Dave. Thank you for your favorite money line part out. Right. Good. All right. I got Oregon minus 35 and a half, I'm with you there Dave. I think Oregon State is really, really, really bad. FIU minus six at home against Delaware. This is based on bear giving me Delaware last week against Yukon. They won outright as eight and a half point dogs. They played an overtime game. That's an emotional tank. They wanted to win that game. Now they go to go down to FIU, FIU minus six, Arizona State plus two and a half. They're off. I believe it by week. I also just. No, they played last night. Oh, yeah. Wait, who did they play last week? Texas State. Yeah. I would say Kenny Dillingham talking about how important it is to recruit in Texas, little juice there. I like Kenny Dillingham. I'm going to take Arizona State plus two and a half. Another rivalry game, the Apple Cup, Washington minus minus 19 and a half against Wazoo. They were off a buy. Wazoo is really bad. This is a spot. I'm taking the spot Kansas minus 13 and a half. They were off a buy going against West Virginia. West Virginia just with an unreal comeback, backyard brawl, emotional let down. I'm taking Kansas minus 13 and a half. Coastal Carolina's dead. So I'm taking South Alabama minus 14 and a half. And now I have a string of, oh, sorry, rice minus two and a half. That's my Thursday bet. I have a string of overs that I'm going to throw out there. These are our teams that I bet the over with and one in the first three weeks and I'm going to. And as I like the thing at Kansas to my card, uh, here's my respect overs. Arkansas Memphis over 62 and a half Ole Miss two lane over 61 and a half TCU SMU over 64 and a half Tennessee UAB over 68 and a half Army North Texas over 50 and a half. My respect overs. I got five of them. I basically just was like I was I had fun betting these teams. I haven't had a lot of fun to start the season gambling. I'm just going memories nostalgia. Well, if you give out you gave out that Arkansas Ole Miss over last week then, yeah, it was easy. Oh my god. So much fun. Rico, how big you, we just need an underdog, what, what, how you want, how, for your thing that you just came up with, uh, uh, uh, money line like you used to do. Yeah. All right. Dog, yeah, three. Yeah. All right. So, uh, uh, I'm going to do my mortal first because I have unnamed in nine minutes. Uh, my mortal is Illinois, I love Illinois in that game. And for Rico's thing, Memphis, to be Arkansas. Okay. Uh, I'll go with my mortal. By the way, mortals, uh, I'm three no, Zupi three no, Ebo two and one, everyone else is one and two. Uh, my mortal is going to be, uh, Illinois. I got a, I got to look at, oh, as well, no, no, so over in that game. So, uh, uh, I just have to look on the app because I have draft Kings up and it doesn't have Illinois listed, uh, over 52 and a half. Oh, wait. Is that screw up the parlay, Jack just won't be live in Illinois. All right. We can pick. We'll pick up. Oh, no, these are these money line parlay and this one. And then that way, there will be two pick and parlay's up and then people can bet. Okay. Great. That works. All right. It's great. So over, uh, Illinois, Indiana is my mortal, uh, Hank can I take Florida State's second half over 23 and a half? 20 and a half? 20 and a half. 20 and a half? No, you cannot take that as a mortal. I will. I don't have a lot of time. That is such a crazy. I got it. It's just the dumbest forest state. Aren't they like 50 point favorite this week? They could be up 50 and a half and then you don't play. That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Okay. We'll see. We'll see. Uh, Zupi. Uh, Utah minus three. Okay. Uh, Michigan minus two and a half bully ball. Okay. I'm going to add that to my card. Uh, another day minus 24 and a half. Okay. Anyone else before Rico? Austin? No. Okay. We're going to take a quick break for a message from one of our partners. Hey, Kirk Herb Street here. When Hurt said they needed a football analyst, I assume they wanted my help. Turns out they wanted Peter, my dog. I didn't even think Peter knew ball. Well, technically he knows that ball. Now, Peter's part of the Hurt's Gold Squad. And we'll be making weekly picks throughout the college football season. So whether you're coming to the stadium to cheer on Peter's picks or kicking off your own road trip, book direct at hurts.com/Peter. All right. Now back to the episode. Rico finishes off. Florida State can't state over 56 and a half. Florida State might get it done themselves. That's it. Why not the first half total points versus the second? Because usually in these huge spreads, they, they go crazy in the first half. And then you can be the victim of them not even trying the second. So I'm curious the logic. I do think they will get out to a big number. I think I'm putting myself if Florida State doesn't, let's say they play okay. And it's 24, nothing at the half. I think those starters will still play through the third. Well, they'll, well, where they'll think that's what's going to happen in the first. I think they're going to be comfortable at about 28 to 31. 20, 28, 31, nothing at the end of the first half. They don't pull guys in the third quarter. They will play at least two drives, probably the entire third quarter. I think that offense gets me at least the 14 I need. I think the defense could go get seven because Kent states that bad. What's the spread again? And then the fourth quarter half total points. You got guys. The whole case in them. So now it's backups. 45 and a half. The second half total over is 23 and a half. No, no, but he's taking four. No, I know, I know, I know, I know. I need three touchdowns. I'm going to go get one on the opening drive when Florida State gets the ball. And then maybe they, if they have to, they pull their guys. I think I'm getting one from the defense. And I think I get the first half for the backups. So first half's Florida State total is 30 and a half. Can I add that to my card? First half Florida State team total. I think Dave, you got to go first half over second half under. I don't want to law. But I am more comfortable with the third like 30 first half than 23 or 20 second. So I had that. It's a, it's, it's a fun pick Bosco. This is why I love pick them because this is going to be a discussion somehow. Yeah, it's a moral jim glimpse into madness of Bosco's brain to come up with this. If I had to guess, it's going to be a clip of Bosco like screaming at the TV in his basement. Whenever this game is played and on pickup next week being like, they had the ball in the red zone with two minutes left. And then they decided to kneel. And it's like, we know. Well, which Dan, what do you want to do? You got two guys outside of the fence. I'm riding with Bosco. I'm taking the over second half, 20 and a half. 20 and a half. But the jack, the mortal is the over in the game. Yeah. 56 and a half. And then Dan, give me a money line to let Dave go. And then I'll do this. Arizona State. Arizona State. Okay, let's search that. Reminders. Oh, that's your mortal. No, that's the money line. He's doing some weird thing. I don't know. Hold on. Hold on. All right. Wait, that was a weird thing. My last two years. For the last two years, Dave has always been able to sniff the three money lines in terms of straight dogs and got real close. And those are fun to see when it's whatever. It's a huge ticket. Like the three of us that shout out Kelly and Vegas. She was the one who was doing those to start. Yeah, all right. That's plus 20 days, speaking of which kid, can we be done with Brian Robinson? Yeah, I'm done with him. All right. Thank you. That was a little. 2876. 2876. All right. Listen, I had. I just had everything wrong. Like the end of that Monday night game. Falcons box. Like I had. Box. Box Texans. I had Texans. Straight. And then I had chase dumb parlay. I just need it like. If the box scored, I needed it to be Evans. And then I would have won or just not score. They run the ball. All right. I'm going to do it. See you.
