You take that dime, you keep it and back up. Surely I'll be one of the boys against the spread. Yeah. And then you get to use a PBT on that dime. Look at that profit boost. All right, this Ford leaderboard segment is presented by you guessed it. Ford, a hard day's work starts with one thing, someone willing to do it. And where there's a will, there's a Ford F series truck. Here's that segment. We have the Ford leaderboard, the graphic I say is going to show up every week. Apparently, it's not their reaction. We actually, we have a call back. Jared, if we can get to the call back, we have a shout out here. The Dan Canella, need a Ford leaderboard graphic that shows the scores 78 likes on that. We were all in line with that. We need a Ford leaderboards that shows all the scores. This is your graphic. It's finally here. It's finally here. It's made and what a week for it to finally be shown up 30 units. You have 31 units. And you looked at me and said, behavior like mine is what's wrong with our economy. So you're suggesting that I'm hoarding wealth. All I'm saying is I don't think America is in as big of a debt pool as it is right now. If there aren't more Josh Pates in the world to be up 31 units. But there's got to be, where is that coming from? This is your second communist allegation, by the way. Allegation. He tried to call you one last. Oh, yeah. But I'm I'm saying you might be hurting the country by doing so well and betting. Which is wild because you remember a couple of weeks ago when I was going to take Georgia. And then you took Oklahoma and foolishly, but it's all on me. I followed you. Yeah, you're just as free to follow me, but you won't. I might this week. Is it time to is it time to fade? That's always the issue. Yeah, that's always the problem like I led down my fan base. Is I was down 16 units last week. Now I'm only down seven because I had an incredible. Your whole thing last week was you're playing a completely different game than me and Josh. You're essentially playing golf with the lowest scores going to win. Hey, we're going to fade. We'll see we're going to fade. We'll see just to stab them in the back and have a great week. Yeah, I was hoping to see negative 32 units. So at least I could be like, listen, you just got to fade me. Don't worry about following. You're winning. You're winning the game by the great givebacks. Yeah, good get back spot. Although, I mean, with the minus seven, I feel like you're, you're in a good spot right now. People two weeks ago thought that you were going to not make it through the season. You're going to have to excommunicate you from the contest. Like completely different. Hey, by the way, I do want to compliment you on handling that ad read, talking about the forward leader board. Just being present with us in this moment, based on what's going on this weekend. Oh my goodness. This is a big game. This is not just massive for your university, your football program. This is massive for Willie C. Yes, this is everything. Yesterday, Kirby Smart texted me and Caitlin to board text to me. What do you think's going to happen in that Nebraska game? Well, really. Yeah, they don't really like I did you send them a photo of me in the corner. No shirt on my bedroom. I'll get you I'll get you one. Yeah, just work. He does have just a role in it. He's like a file or something where he just has these awesome photos all the time. People are nervous about this. I don't know if you are, but people are nervous about this for you. A lot of people are nervous for your Indiana. No, for you, nervous for you, because they know, I don't want to put words in your mouth, but like what's in here? It's beaten right now. It's going to be Friday and Saturday, like it's going to be out there for the world to see. And you're vulnerable, so you're willing to hold your heart in your hand for America. And you're willing to let everyone know this is it. Either we win Saturday or I die. I'm willing to die. So you're right. You can laugh at that. I live, I live at like how serious you are about that. I know you're ready to go. Yeah, yeah. And I know all the odds are not going to get a whole lot of the odds are against you. All of the odds are against Nebraska and just what's happened in the last 10 years? How many wins you as heavy as top 25 teams spoil alert zero and just 31 straight. And I had this conversation with you yesterday when we were just by ourselves. I was like, Hey, this is you have to empty the tank this week. Because at the end of the day, fates, fates, whatever's going to happen, what's happening is going to happen. Like this is the time. So we've said for the last five, six, we'll have him any weeks. Hey, pull the reins on will, pull the reins on will, let's just relax for a second. Now we got to, we got to go. Yeah. Now it's time to wave the flag. I will be leaving everything on the field within those 24 hours from the start of bus and a paid on campus. That's going to be in Lincoln, Nebraska this Friday afternoon, South Stadium, the entrance until the game is done against Indiana. I will be everything will be drained. Everything I'm giving them everything. And I know, I know the 90,000 is going to be giving them everything. I believe, I believe my mom, you met her a couple of weeks ago. Not exactly in tune with college football. She understands that she knows that I do it for a living, but she's not dialed. She can't tell you about the big 10 standings right now, but she did ask about you this week. So even the outside world, even I'm not going to call my mom a casual for me to do that. But like even the non die hard crowd, even the casual crowd that just watches playoffs, national championship game, even those people are in line at the grocery store saying, it's a big week for Will. The world knows and understands you put yourself in this position. What a position to be in. It's a big week for the Huskers. You know what Dan landing felt like now. It's you that has to deal with Kurt Signetti. We'll come tonight. A lot of special Kurt Signetti. You're in the A gap with Signetti. With Signetti. Yeah, yeah. And he doesn't miss very often. But we'll talk about that game at the end of the show. What kind of game? Very prepared team. A couple of weeks ago, went to when we were in Tennessee, when we were in Knoxville. We had the honor of going and working out their facility after the show, after bus and paid on campus. I meet Coach Owings, who's the head strength and conditioning coach for Tennessee. Now he was within the analyze. years before he was with Signetti for what was it eight years? - He was there for a while, yeah. He's with him multiple stops. - And he very much let me know all the shit talking I did that entire week before they beat our ass like 50, 6 to 7 in Bloomington, Indiana. - Oh, he was aware. - He was aware of 30 second videos I made. Even one of the assistants who was with him at Indiana came out when we were working out later. He's like, "Hey, Owen's talked to you about "you in Nebraska and Indiana a couple years ago." Yes, sir. Yes, sir. So I got to be careful with the bulletin board material that I put out there. - See, to that I said, nah. - No. - Like, they watch Signetti's watching this show. - So, these coaches said that Signetti pointed all these things out. Like the whole coaching staff was aware of your words coming out of your mouth. - First off, he's right, he watches everything. Secondly, you hadn't been in the weight room 30 seconds before they honed in on Usen. So we'll Compton, it's we'll Compton. Let's go, tell him about something from four years ago. Thirdly, you remember I went like, Owen five picking against Indiana last year and Kurt, I don't pay attention to the outside noise Signetti. Group texted his entire coaching staff a video of me wearing the clown nose at the end of the year, just for fun. I got that on good authority. My source is the defense of coordinator on the coaching staff, but I don't want to name names, but I'm just saying. - Which geez, he'll get out there on X and let people know over two smaller D lines, two small. I remember him, which I respect. I'm like, hell yeah, he's talking some shit on people saying that their D line is undersized and can't win a game. He just got to be, this is, this is the defending national champion. - Yeah, people forgive him. - Of course they are. - For the Austrian game. - But do you, is this a point where it's like, yeah, we know what you think, like why don't we just publicly say it 'cause it's not gonna, like Signetti might see it, but does Nebraska not have the squad to shock the nation this year? - You sat in LSU's team meeting week one when they're playing their motivational videos and they got clips of media people talking shit about their team. - And I saw the kid four rows up, that was just kind of hitting that. - Who, buddy? - Straight jacket back on my, this kid's a psychopath. I didn't even know his name, but I was watching, I was like, if anybody's gonna die on the field on Saturday, it's gonna be this kid and it's gonna love the game. - So you're saying, you're just gonna, you're gonna keep it tight and then wait for the result and then once the result happens. - You gotta wait for the right time. - Do you think, do you think Signetti's like Lane in that he screams in your face for 10 minutes? I don't care what anyone outside this building says. Outside noise doesn't matter at all. Watch these clips. (all laughing) 'Cause it's so great. - I'm sure he's a little bit more polished than that. So there was a group chat that took place in in Indiana and that leaked to you. - Yes. - Seems like there's a lot of that going on right now. - Yeah, what you wanna do is you wanna keep-- - A lot of lines, it seems like a lot of players, people are leaking group chats. How do you feel about that? - How do you feel about it? - 'Cause I know of you, if any of one of us was in a group chat and you guys said something. - Did your group chat clown? - Yeah, people are like, "Hey, what do you think about the Michigan kids?" (all laughing) - I know this. If we're in a group chat and I was bitching about somebody, I would fully trust the both of you to not say a word about it and keep between us. We this kid has a little church group and we can't really let stuff out. - Little models, little church group. - He's drinking a lot of dope coffee this morning. - Sounds like a pretty big group. - Big enough where someone screen-chat the contents of a group chat. - It was a screen-chat and a half. You can't have that, dude. It's bad. And I wanted to find a way to weave Michigan into the conversation because to be fair, I'm broken right now. I don't feel, like, as excited I am for you and that optimism that sits there also with that doubt and that anxiety and the energy that's about to take place on Saturday, I'm the opposite of that with my program. I feel empty. - In your environment. - I'm on the side of the road. I have no gas and there's not a gas station within my phone. - You don't even have your thumb up. - There's a 1% battery. - You don't even want to go anywhere. - No, I'm sad. - You went into the biweek and you made us keep on going. - Yeah, I was like, oh, I'm so excited for a biweek. There's not going to be any distractions. We'll find out what we do as quarterback. And then I got an X bus and intern getting group chats leaked. - I know that's tough. That's bad. Look for even bussets. (all laughing) - Yeah, we can have it. It's just bad, man. Anyway. - Yeah. - You're on the corner right now and he's not even holding the sign. He's not even looking for nothing. - And I'll do it Saturday. I'm like, laying on my couch. I'm sad. I'm a sad boy. My kids come in and check on me and I get a text from him that made me even more sent. I'm not going to leak those texts, you sent to me. But I will say, there's a great question he asked. What do you do in the situation? I guess we'll find out, sir. - I guess I'm going on a mission. - Lot of soul searching. Let's get to the board, huh? - That's it. - Cottonball's taking place. We got the Texas State Fair going on. We got Texas at Oklahoma, not really at Oklahoma, neutral site. Texas is favored by minus seven and a half. Total points in that game is 39 and a half. This is like an Iowa game. This is like an Iowa playing Iowa type of game when it comes to the totals. How do we feel about this game? Where do we see it going? Mateer has just been floundering around. Is he as bad as we think? We bought stock, now we've lost stock a little bit. Archman and his stats aren't that much better. They had a hundred total penalties or yards and penalties. Again, 10 to see a couple weeks ago. How do we feel about this game, Will? I feel like it's Texas, right? Like it's seven to half? Is Oklahoma dead? I like, I'm sitting here next to Josh, who I know bought John Mateer stock. He's bought it a couple years in a row. I had Oklahoma in my college football playoff when the year started. I saw that the fan duel had him over under seven and a half when it's almost like, "Hey, is there something up here?" Clearly, people knew that something was up. What have you talked yourself into with this Oklahoma team? If you're going to find any rationale for how they can compete in this game because I feel like Texas, Texas, kind of having the game that they had against Tennessee where the run game didn't get going. Arch looked the way he did on the road. Couple nice throws. Couple nice throws for sure. Like in my opinion, they do have the run game. They just didn't show up against Tennessee. So I feel like, oh, they've been sitting on, hey, we gotta come in, we gotta be able to run the football on the so-called home team. To me, I think they'll be able to. Like I think Archie performed well in this game last year, the Red Ravory game. Shootout, the shootout, the Red Ravory shootout. Oh, the respect. All right, to me, this is like a no-brainer Texas covering. No, like no-brainer Texas covering how many units? I'm gonna say nine and a half. Hold on. Okay. (all laughing) The most you can go in units is five. No, no, I'm moving the, I'm moving the line. You're gonna align the nine and a half, yeah. And how many units are you putting on that nine and a half? I'll put four on it. Oh, wow. Yeah. Four units, all line, minus nine and a half. This defense is for real. We know this stuff about Texas. And then it's like, okay, how is Oklahoma gonna be able to win this game? Like I've seen enough, now whether or not in the by-week, they figured something else out. But the creativity on third down, they're gonna be able to challenge these receivers to where geometry is gonna have to make tight throws. He's inaccurate. He's inconsistent. I won't say he's inaccurate because he does have flashes. But yeah, I don't see how Oklahoma pulls this one out. Plus one of six or minus nine and a half. You like that? I do. You do like that. So in May 22nd is when these lines first came out. Do you wanna wanna take a guess at what the line on this game was back then? Probably nine and a half Texas. The line was Texas minus six and a half. Ooh. Now think about what the perception of Oklahoma was. You, a lot of people thought Oklahoma was a playoff team. And with that, as the public understanding, the line was Texas minus six and a half, this line has moved one point since then. Does that sound right to you? Or does it sound like something's up? I think it sounds both. It sounds like something's up. It sounds both. I like it. It could be either black or white. What do you know, Will says it could be either there. Yeah, this is the Laney Water. We don't know what's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. I just had a pause to appreciate it. 1,095 days since Oklahoma has scored a touchdown against Texas. 1,095 days, both are off of five. You asked me to make a case because very clearly I love Texas here. Like model thinks this number is three points off. So I'll go ahead and spoil the ending for you. Texas minus seven and a half is a four unit for me. So I love Texas. If you want me to make the Oklahoma case, are you gonna take Oklahoma? I'm not taking it. I'm taking it. Someone's got to stand up and make the case. All right. So you know how in college football, not so much in November, but in early October sometimes, you've got like four or five games of a sample size. You think you figure the team out, but then there's this performance first half of October and it just totally turns the stat sheet on its ear because it turns out that you didn't really know everything you needed to know about that team. You weren't so far down the road that they couldn't turn some things around. That happens all the time in this sport. Theoretically, it could happen for Oklahoma. Also if you think about what hasn't worked that has led to their numbers looking like this. 111st rushing, 111st and giveaways, 128th and red zone touchdown percentage, Texas number one in the country defensively, 109 on third downs, 107 on explicit play. So nothing's worked offensively. You're least incentivized to keep doing what you're doing when what you're doing doesn't work. So you base your expectation off what they've been doing, but they're far more likely to have spent their buy a week self scouting and trying to figure out different ways to do things. Of course, the catch 22 there is that may not work either. There's no guarantee if you change your way of doing things that that way works, but sometimes it does is the point. Having said that, if I'm willing to buy into that logic and I don't know that I am, but if I'm willing to buy into that logic on the Oklahoma side, you also have to say it about Texas. It's because Texas is the number one team in the country doesn't mean they've lived. flawless so far. So maybe Texas spent there by week improving too. Maybe Texas comes out a little more explosive offensively. Maybe arch looks a little bit better. Maybe completion percentage ticks up for him too. So I can't buy into something that I haven't seen even though I understand something I haven't seen could happen. If Oklahoma wins that game, even if they just cover and make it close, it's cause they sort of flip the script. And I acknowledge that's possible. But I'm going to choose to be surprised by Oklahoma overperforming offensively, then just blindly bank on it and then feel stupid when Texas wins 23 to six or something like that. So I'm taking Texas minus seven and a half for four units. Four units for units. I know the totals very low here, but I'm actually I'm actually I'm going to take the under 39 and a half. Oklahoma's 11 of 12 coming off of a bioweakin in the last 12 seasons. I do think Oklahoma, as bad as they are in offense, they're still great on defense. They do a great job, especially in their run defense in the middle with stone. Texas has all the weapons in the world. We've talked about ad nauseam, the three wide receivers they have at archmaning. He's got the in the manning last name and he should be doing more and that the the run game has gotten better and then we get to the Tennessee game. They have a they have so many penalties over a hundred yards and penalties. They kind of shot themselves in the foot over and over and over again as Collins is sitting there doing, you know, piss, piss celebrations and getting more penalties there. It's good celebration. It's a great celebration. It's a great you can't do you get a way to the locker room. We do it. Both these teams, rivalry game. We saw the way it went last year. What it was really the game was played between the 25s and no one can really capitalize of getting in the endzone. And as bad as John Matier has been, can't get that much worse once you've hit rock bottom. It's like it can only go out from there or you can just stay at rock bottom. You can just stay at rock bottom. But Texas being the number one team, they haven't necessarily shown anything of like the high-powered offense that they should be means that could be better. It means they could be better. Absolutely. But it's it's the penalties for me. It's arch-manning showing flashes, but not really putting games together. It's the penalties. And at the end of the day, like you have more talent than Oklahoma has on the offensive side of the ball. Yet it just hasn't clicked yet. Could it click? Yeah, absolutely. Seeing how confident the both of you are in Texas so much that you're moving the line and you're putting four units on it. Does that make me nervous? No doubt. But part of me feels like they're hitting the sides on the way down. They're not even at rock bottom yet. Oh, man. Wow. I mean, how much farther can you go down? You can give the ball. How many times does Matier and Arbuckle been in the A gap for a song on a Friday show? And they just continue to get just ran over over and over and over again. And we still have to sit here and be like, they're just hitting the sides. Like maybe like Oklahoma stops. We want to pick them up. Hey, get back in there. Yeah, you're somehow we just keep talking about Oklahoma team that we had all these dreams of that phrase before. Yeah, they get bullied. But like Venables defense is always going to be solid. They've been great. Mustchamp does a great job of making corebacks uncomfortable. I just see this as a defensive struggle type of game. Texas will win this game. Do they cover? Probably. But more than anything, I look at the total. It's like kind of no matter where it's sat. It was always the under for me. Like I didn't look at the total until like this morning. I was like, yeah, I'm still going to take 39 and a half. And this is a game to me that's played 25 to 25. Some sort of penalty takes place or interception by mater or healing throws the ball. The circus music is playing. But it's a rivalry game and weird things happen in rivalry games. They always tend to be closer than we all think they are. The one thing that makes I think the one thing that makes a lot of people nervous if you're going to be on the side that you and I are on is your mind remembers how many times things seem so obvious and then the game plays out another way. I think it plays a little mind trick on you. College football history can play a little mind trick on you sometimes because your mind doesn't remember all the times that things played out exactly as it seemed like they should go. Those get filtered out and the nightmares that remain are like the Ole Miss Florida where man how in the world is Florida favorite over Ole Miss and then they spank him. People will be scared of that game for a decade. That will impact people's betting patterns and choosing picking patterns for a decade. So it's possible man it's possible that it's 14 to 10 or something like that. I'm just saying like I wrote on this paper can Oklahoma scratch out 17 points. That's my starting point for Oklahoma. Can they scratch out 17 points which is just an insane thing to be saying with a returning quarterback and a returning coordinator but that's where we are. So like I trust Texas a whole lot more here with the understanding what you just said could be true. Texas could be trustworthy and 80% of themselves right now. They could be ready to scale up and get better. That's what good teams are supposed to do. This time at the years usually when you see teams kind of start that extension it's like oh this is a playoff. This is a national championship contender like that week six seven eight was you seeing really start to do this. So I'm gonna take the I'll take the under and there I'm gonna go two or three units on this. Not overly confident about it but maybe I think that's playing into the psyche of how my last week went with the units makes me a little bit nervous because I got to write the ship a little bit too. That's where you got to keep swinging. Gotta keep swinging. All right we're gonna have this episode to bring you neutral neutral tastes great taste so much better than ESL's or I've ever tried it's made with real vodka and real juice. That's what makes the taste delicious. They come in a variety of flavors. Personal favorites of mine pineapple and lime but I will tell you sneak it in there. I bet by next week it's gonna be number one blueberry perfect for social occasions big time crowd pleas are especially during the summer. Think on the beach with friends at an outdoor bar on the lake at a music festival it's a perfect time of a year to grab a 12 pack of neutral for the beach or grab a bucket deal in your favorite bar to celebrate summer neutral keep it tasty. UCLA undefeated at organ also well not undefeated but got a whole lot better. Yeah you see always undefeated. I know but I said organ not. Oh god I got you organ's favorite minus 11 and a half total points in the game is 58 and a half. William how do you feel? It's the under. This is the under. It's the under. I'm a 0 and 3 on my last 300s. I picked a I picked an under last week. Yeah Miami Clemson by the way. Did you watch the end of that game? Yeah. With the end. Did we text? They're kids. Oh my oh yes. Yes bro. They're just kids. That pick six. It's right. God it's right there. I talked about on bus with the boys. They're sitting there. The over under on that game is 47 and a half. They have 47 points total. I see dabbo in the headset back. Let's go score and I'm like all right defense. Let's just hold up. Stop them on four down. You get the ball back. You need it out. It's over with. So what's his name? Tate Reynolds. Tate Reynolds. God throws it on the perimeter. Miami pick six and I'm just curling up on my couch bro. Earlier in the day. I had a garbage time text down to hit my over and you you and I that was that I'm a zoo Florida. We are trashing these kids in text and then all of a sudden the garbage time does down and I love these kids. I did it for these kids and then they bite us later. But this one first time he's gonna hit here. I like the under on this game. Yeah. It's like a bar is like man you're gonna give me 11 and a half with UCLA because they look good like they run the football very well very effectively. A lot of explosives to me it's what is the ceiling of this offense look like when this explosive run games not there because Oregon coming out of the by week like to me the way they looked against USC like you see a lot more physicality in the front seven on stop of the run they know they're gonna have to stop the run and also with both of these teams both of their offenses you might see the logo and think Oregon and points and this and that but they're also like a hundred and tenth in the in the country when it comes to a place per game UCLA's a hundred and twenty fifth in the country on place per game so I have to slow it down there very much a run team first part of me wants to sit there and kind of pick at UCLA plus 11 and a half but what I love most is under fifty eight and a half on this game because Oregon shuts down they eliminate the explosive runs that UCLA has with Wayne Knight they have they have a couple cats yeah that uh that have been running the football yeah um but they shut that down this game really slows down I just I like the under here fifty and a half so I'm going under fifty eight and a half I'm going four years you know I'm not going to go a total here I do respect the under though I think I may lean the under it feels like a line that is built to entice UCLA action getting double digits with one of the hottest teams in the country and I can't help but feel like the opposite is true if Oregon we're not to have lost to Oklahoma State if they just look like their normal selves what we think they're capable of this number would be like 17 and a half or something like that so I actually feel like we may be getting a little value with Oregon here now that's all predicated on Dan in the company coming through and they're becoming the version of themselves maybe like just a little delayed engine start and it's getting cranked now I think um not just that they beat USC but all of the dynamics that went into that the galvanization that had to happen in the fire of your quarterback goes down and then Ryola comes in and you still run away from them in their own building like that's a reminder of who you are that's you get on that play and coming home and you're like we are Oregon we are still Oregon then you get a by week and frankly whether Dante more can play whether it's got to be Ryola you're going to have a solid option at quarterback I feel like this is going to be a competitive game first half maybe even competitive into second half and then fourth quarter is organs and they ended up covering that 11 and a half I would put two units on that not the most confident pick in the world because I respect Bob Chesney and I respect their ability to do absolutely the maximum amount of the pieces they have with the pieces they have I just think organs pieces are better so I'm going to take two units organ minus 11 and a half it does feel like Oregon kind of figured themselves out and really had that like confidence boost of like oh we are this team that people pick to be a national championship contender this year against USC and they have a place since then yeah and I exactly and UCLA like the teams they play they've done a great job like they're running over 200 yards in every single game they play. Every team they play, it's like San Diego State, Purdue, Maryland and Cal. Like all those teams are two and three right now. No one has a winning record. And they've rushed the ball really well. You brought the two running backs like night. He has like over, I think he's rushing for over 111 yards per game in nine yards per carry. So like they do a great job of running the football. And when Nico, when they give the ball for him to run it, that plus one is awesome as well. It's like, if you're looking at this team, you're like, okay, we obviously have to force UCLA to throw the ball to beat us. And you look at the organ side, like Raiola comes in when he's at the start, the game plan does not revolve around him. And his, like how he is as a player. And he goes in and dices up USC the way he does. Think about this kid now having extra time, a full game plan revolving around him. And he still has all the talent in the world. And Hill, the running back, like people want to talk about Raiola and how great he played against USC. Like Hill was the spark plug for that entire thing. When there was offset wide zone, he would stretch the field and the hit explosives, screen games. But like Raiola was throwing some great passes there. And if you put on the film between UCLA and Purdue, there's a lot of throws to be had. I love organ minus 11 and a half here. And then they found out who they are. I think they continue that snowball effect starts to take place where they start to make the climb into the playoffs. I'm gonna go four units on this. And it really is like, I think organ has the ability to stop the run. And then if you're UCLA, what do you do? 'Cause Nico started slower passing. He's thrown for like four and 28 yards the last two games like he's been better with the football through the air. But I think if you put them in a position where you have to throw the ball consistently, that's where that defense that was supposed to be all world can really show by getting a couple of turnovers and making this really one sided. You guys are kind of talking me into organ, but I'm not gonna do that to us 'cause we can't be across the board. I can't be across the board. That's not fun. It's not fun. 'Cause you're right when you look at Wayne Knight, he's got 45 carriers, you're 445 total yards. Out of six of those carriers, he's got 213. So they're popping you on some of them. And he's a tough tackle, but to me, it's like the entire game plan. As you shut this down and you slow it down, you saw it last week with Mizzou and Florida. - Yeah. - You do that, it's like what has the offense become? - Man, you wanna know how crazy the portal is. I remember a couple of years ago, it was probably like after signing day, something like that. Like you're looking at future rosters. And I remember vividly being on some show at what my show, but I was appearing somewhere. And I said, imagine those future Tennessee Georgia matchups of Dylan Riala versus Nico Yamaliava. 'Cause at the time Riala was committed to Georgia, Nico was headed to Tennessee. And now Riala is two stops removed from having, well, he's never technically at Georgia. He decommitted, he goes into Nebraska, that doesn't work, he's at Oregon now. And Nico's long since left Knoxville, and they still end up potentially going at each other. Just think about the money, think about the Fandall prop bet you could have had if you bet. Yeah, these two dudes will see each other down the road in Eugene, Oregon, as UCLA comes to town. - Right. - Crazy. - And old packs, well matchup, taking place. - Old school. - Yeah. - I do search for a nice dig right there. - Yeah, that was nice. I do love Oregon in the spot, man. - Hey, I love it clearly. - Do we know who's playing at the quarterbacks talk? - I don't think he's been practicing. - Yeah, I mean, he could play. I think if you're Oregon, you see what Riala has done. It's like, you don't want to benched on tape, but it's like, let's focus on his health. That should be the whole thing. - It's taking time. - Over to make sure he's good. And then kind of see what you have a Riala, 'cause if he goes out and does, was it 289 in the second half? Like, he looked good. Towards like, you know, if you're Dante, it's like, you're waking up. And you're like, I got to get back as fast as possible. - Imagine the group text then. - Yeah, I feel like he-- - But Oregon keeps it tight. They don't leak it. - I feel like that's why he's practicing. He's almost kind of see what's out there. - It's like, hey, buddy, you better get your ass back out there. - Houston at Kansas State. Kansas State is favored minus two and a half total points. They gave us 55 and a half. Kansas State, you're a sneaky team in the Bay-12 of a year and a year out. - Yeah, that's where I'm going. - Okay. - Kansas State, minus two and a half. - All right. - I like Cline, I like Avery Johnson. And again, losing to Cincinnati last week, I think is a good thing for them. So you're giving me them with minus two and a half, like I'm going Kansas State. - Wounded animal theory. - Yeah, kind of Wounded animal, but more just like the culture's building for Kansas State and Coach Cline. So I'm going, to me, this is simple. I'm not going with, you put it out to the Wegman or Wegman? - Wegman. - I'm not betting on Wegman. - You're not betting on Wegman. - No, no, no, I'm not betting on Wegman. - You would take Wegman over Johnson as your quarterback. - No, I'm taking Johnson over Wegman. - But I'm saying, okay, if you're building a team, you're gonna take Johnson over Wegman. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I love Houston. I love Houston to win this game outright. I like Wegman. I like how their ability to run the ball and I think Wegman's a better quarterback throwing the ball. They have a bit of a scare against UCF last week. They're down 17, zero in the third quarter. Come back when that game, 27 to 17, Kansas State. It's all about running the ball with Johnson. It is going to fall completely on his shoulders whether they're able to win this game and be able to cover. And at the end of the day, like you see Houston against Texas Tech and they kind of won that game. They should have probably won that game. And there's a lot better than I think, than a lot of people think in the big 12. Everyone thought it was Texas Tech that everybody else. I think Houston's in that category of shortening that gap and they're gonna show it on the road. So I like money line, Houston, I'm gonna do three units on that. - Three new toes. You know that UCF Houston game, two units for you. - Two units on Kansas State. - I don't think people realize this, but that Houston UCF games are a real bad blood game. It's the space game 'cause both places think that they're the capital of space travel. And I'm like, dude, Huntsville's got a rocket on the side of the road. What about Huntsville? But that's what you're hearing over there. I'm with you. I'm gonna go Houston plus two and a half. So I'm not gonna quite go money line. Bacon room for a 28 to 26, Kansas State win. But I think there's a coaching dynamics edge here too. Nothing against Colin Klein. I actually think the world of the dude. Look how Texas A&M looks without him this year. But you've got, it's a classic example. Season veteran, Willie Fritz. First year guy in Colin Klein. I trust Houston. They've already been pretty battle tested. Remember, they've already gone on the road and played a really close down to the wire game with Texas Tech. So it's not unfamiliar territory for them. I actually think they got a quarterback edge in this game. So I'm gonna be the soul that's brave enough to roll with Connor Wegman. Every time I mention Avery Johnson, there are a couple of Avery Johnson fan accounts out there that really ride me. - It's friend by his dad. - Yeah, I probably so. - Yeah. - So I'm not gonna disparage the good name of Avery Johnson. I'm just gonna. - Don't do that. - I'm gonna build up Connor Wegman. - And I am. - You know what? I was gonna slide the table. I'll go four units on this. - Four units. - I feel really good about Houston last time. - I'll tell you, you feel really good. You feel that good about Wegman. - I like Wegman a lot. - I personally think he's a turnover waiting to happen. - Really? - He's only had one in reception, it was in week one. - I know. - He has Oregon State. He's had 11 touchdowns since then. - I see these things, man. - You see. - I see these things. - You're seeing the board clearly. - You're gonna check that box score on Saturday. It's gonna be two picks. - I just think it's interesting that we sat here last weekend. We were talking about Austin Simmons in a certain someone. There's no reason to name names. Certain someone said Austin Simmons is a turnover waiting to happen. And all he did was hang like what, half a hundred on Florida? - Open heart surgery. - Yeah. - On that floor. - People all of a sudden just stopped making eye contact with me on set when I started reading that up. - People are a little nervous. - Wow. - You were in the fodder a little bit. - I was sitting there and I was in the fodder a little bit. - I was sitting with Cody a little bit of, but I. - I'm not talking about Cody. - I was wrong about Austin talking about. - I'm just talking about my guy right here. - For me. - You said he's a turnover waiting to happen. - And I, listen. - And the group test started. - The group test started. - It's still, it's up there. - He still is. - He did a great job last week. - Who were they playing? - He was a surgeon. - And him. - And him. - They play and him this week. - Just big upset, I don't know where it comes. - Well, I'm not saying that's it, but he's got one. - I think he's got one. - And I'm not. - He's got one of it. - You're going to point out. - Austin Simmons guy, are you serious? - I'm working in Clay Moss and Simmons guy. - Why not? - He's not. - He didn't know you got it lower. - I can't, I listen. I can't be held. We've sat on this show. And it literally said, our bets, we can't be held accountable for our bets and the words that are said. Then all of a sudden, you Clay Moss and Simmons, I'm like, he's probably shouldn't be that high in your SD quarter. I think in all of a sudden, I'm the bad guy. - Well, how did he, last week he looked, I keep belonging to the top four in that SDC list. - Weed to week, man. I think he's got one in him. (laughing) - One big minute. - And you guys are basically making me against, I'm sitting here going, hey, I always put my head up going, I was wrong. And as you put my head up, you're going, you did it. - You, you, you. - And that's where you put your head up and say, hey, I was wrong. - I was wrong about last week. - This dude's gonna throw one ball, perfectly throwing tips off a wide receiver's chest into a DB's hands. And it's gonna be-- - It was served. - Told you, bro. (laughing) - I can't even get through turns. - I hope, I hope, I hope, Missouri wins that game of Austin, Simmons is great. But I need him to give me one. - Just one. - I don't have interception, Fumble it, just Fumble it. - Just that Fumble, it's like, I don't know, I'm like, told y'all. - Told y'all. - Told y'all. - Drop him. - Sleep on him once. - It's like a commercial read legacy game loading. - It's like coach is talking about running backs and feeling like, hey, he's a Fumble, he just doesn't know yet. - Yeah, yeah, he hasn't coughed it up yet, but he just wants to give you one. There's a quarterback on the slate that has no interception so far. And I'm telling you, he's new, he is new. We'll get to that game in just a little bit. Hugh Jost and Simmons guy, big fan of him. - Big. - He's got one. - Right in the defensive hands. - Houston. - It's Houston. - Houston plus. - Go money line, dude. - I don't want to be there. - What is your tiny 80-bitty computer say about it? - I like Houston. - Does it like Houston? - Does it like Houston money line? - I love that you went 0 and 2 bet in the 80-bitty computer. - I know, I looked at, I was so excited about what you get. - Oh cool, let me look at some technology with you. This is awesome games. - And you want to look at it with on the 80s. - There we go. [BLANK_AUDIO] just the right side by the way. - I can't be held responsible. - Syracuse minus six and a half. They won the last play of the game. - Yep. - And what was the other one? - Stanford, Stanford. - Stanford, plus there's a club. - I had some qualms with Tewa Monday's. - He goes, hey, do I check Josh paper? Give me Stanford light. - And Josh is sitting there and he's like, I look at the monitor and it's like far enough away to where my eyes aren't really seeing it. He's like, you see how it's green right here? I'm like, yeah, he's like, all three of these are green and it says this, like that is, that's one you bet right there. Like when you feel that way and my itty bitty tiny I'm like, all right, perfect. I'll put those bets in. Put those bets in an hour before our show and Friday started. It felt so great about it. Sent into multiple friends too. Tender technique, he lost a couple of dollars too. He lost it. I said to my boy, I was like, bet's at the week right here, one of my friends. (laughing) And that's a, I have a text to him and he's like, you don't respect my computer. That's why you lost. - What was the title? - It was like 50 something to three. - I saw they were down 50 and I had like 40 plus and I just shook my head. - Can I say this about that game though? - Yeah. - I think we were on the wrong side of that one. - Yeah. - Your computer sent it with all greens. - Travel, early east coast kickoff. I just don't, I just don't think Stanford was ready. - Where is this logic before the game? - You got to follow up. Do we need to put up my stats again? - Okay. - You can put them up. - That's what my computer has given me. - This is, here's the sad. - Yeah, I think I found the way to destroy you dude is I'm gonna follow every bet you take. I'm gonna send every single one and there's me muffins all over the board. - Which model am I showing you? - Whoa. - Evil model. - Dork model. (laughing) - What are you talking about? - You did the same bet as me. - You're cool. - I get 'em, it's like, dude, you took Stanford as well. (laughing) - Josh had his third straight week of plus eight units and still has yet to have a negative weekend. - Whoo. - That sounds like somebody's due. - Sounds like we got Austin Sam to be honest with you. - Yeah, Austin Sam. - You're due for it. - I made several loosable picks. I just haven't lost yet. - Yeah. Man. - Anyway, dude. - What we got? - No, none of them. - Who's ready for Bama, Georgia? This Saturday on Fandall predicts trade $25 on Bama vs. Georgia and get $1 in bonus for every point scored. The last meaning toll is 75 points if they do that again. That's $75 in bonus bets. A touchdown, that's $6 in bonus. Extra point, another dollar field goal. That's three more dollars. Every point adds to your bonus. So keep your eyes on the scoreboard. More points means more bonus. Download Fandall and bring on the points. - What about the gravely? Let's do the gravely game of the week. Talk about buying a lot more real quick. - Okay. - Zero turn, nine degrees. You have to go get yourself a lot more. gravely game of the week. Georgia at Alabama. Alabama is a dog at home. Georgia's favorite. Oh, both of these say plus. Alabama's favorite might as one and a half. Total points in that game. 52 and a half. There's hurricane taking place. Cat one, cat two. Is that what I'm seeing? - Probably cat two at landfall, yeah. - And so there is a, is there a conversation about them moving this to Sunday? - Nope. - No, this is, this game is happening on Saturday. - Well, actually, as you and I are speaking, there's a conference that started 31 minutes ago that I won't be privy to the details until we get off air. But I'm pretty confident in saying that game will go off as scheduled at the schedule kickoff time. - And we got salaries running taking place? - Nope. I think we'll be okay. There will be a drive most of the game. - Most of the game. - I think it'll push through. I think it will be good most of the game. I think you may have some, some win to deal with. Not terrible, probably decreases throughout the game. I'm choosing to look at this game as if weather's not a factor. - Really? - Yeah, I'm choosing to just view it straight up. - So if that's the logic you're bringing, the logic is Alabama might as one and a half. - Is it? - Yeah. - It's not what the model thinks. - Well, you're a model and I are in a big fight. What's your model thing? - Model thinks that Georgia wins the game by two. - Oh, really? - Do you agree with your model? - I don't. - I don't agree with that. - You agree with that. - My model's been terrible in Alabama all year. - Really? - It thought Mississippi State Bama was a straight up pick 'em last week. Thought Mississippi State was one of the best picks on the board. It thought Kentucky was the right side. It did think Florida State was the right side and it was right there, but it's just been off. I think it's under a vat. How could you know properly how to value Q and Russell? - Mm. - Fair point. - This is the model speaking through me. I'm like, I knew what was coming all along. The model didn't know what was coming though. - Okay. - So yeah, I'm fighting. There's an internal fight just in the family here, the Paystate family of model versus eyeballs and what we've seen so far. Have you watched Gunner Stockton play this year? - Oh, yeah. - Have you seen how in this world where your Marcel reads look worse, your Lenora sellers look worse? Gunner Stockton was good last year and has gotten better. 78%, not 78, completion percentage is up. Yards per attempt up, even as rushing numbers are up. So to me, like the one of two big questions in this from an Alabama defensive standpoint is, does Georgia just stay on schedule? Like they ruthlessly stay on schedule. They're so efficient. Alabama's got the number 10 run defense in the country. Is that real? Do you stone, you're not gonna stone Georgia. Do you limit them enough running the ball where they're in a bunch of thirdnates all evening? 'Cause I don't like their odds if it's that way. I think, Bama, if you keep them off schedule because of how dynamic they are at quarterback and how good they are at receiver, I feel better about them converting third and eight plus than I do Georgia. So that's my first question. My second question is, if you've watched these secondaries play so far this year, wide receiver ones have gotten after Alabama, but wide receiver ones have kind of quietly gotten after Georgia a little bit too. So Georgia, the perception is, oh, they don't have a game breaker at receiver, which may be true, but they've got a ton of different guys who have contributed already. They had eight guys against Vanderbilt, catch two or more balls, but Taylor and Taylor's the only player they've had in any game this year go over 75 receiving yards. So, in that game last year, Taylor and Taylor dropped a wide open touchdown that would have given them the lead and Athens. And so it doesn't take 15 balls being caught. It takes once or twice getting behind the defense. I just think it's a point trading game. I'm not going over, although I do think the over actually is the side here. I think that you've got to keep up. If you're Georgia, you cannot bank on limiting them 'cause you got every so often a dynamic enough athlete at quarterback, Trinidad Chambers was this last year, where it kind of throws all your rules and all your principles defensively into a blender 'cause you can do everything right and they still bite you. You saw that in the sugar bowl when they played Ole Miss and they lost. I think you've got that in play here as well. I remain to be seen. I remain in the to be seen camp, whether Georgia can trade points and keep up in a game like this. So my lean is actually been a minus one and a half. I think right now they're just the better team and they've got home field. And that's why I'll go minus one and a half. I'll do three units on that. - Okay, you feel good about it. - I feel pretty good about it. - Killing the boys got a nice little record against Georgia right now. - He does. And I do like, I think the thing about the weather for me is the biggest question mark that I have because Alabama has been incredible. Killing Russell has been awesome. He's not only like, he's throwing the deep ball really well but he's like really smart with the football where he goes. He has a great time clock in his head of when the rush is getting to him and being able to get out and make it happen with their legs. They've been way better in 12 and 13 personnel of running the football. I think like 51%, 48% in that 12 to 13 personnel range which is just awesome. I don't know if that works as well against Georgia and where the weather factor comes into play is Georgia's kind of like hurricane proof when it comes to their offense because you said Gutter Stockton, his yards per attempt are more this year. Last year, 31% of his passes were behind the line of scrimmage. This year, it's 38% where it's actually gotten more. So that tells me multiple things. Like they're still doing the Mike Bobo perimeter but they're taking more shots. And Taylor and Taylor like, I think him against man coverage, he's a pretty unbelievable. This kid's got speed, he runs crispy routes. I like them a lot. I think there's just a way for Georgia to wear down this Alabama defense with their offensive line, like their road graders. I don't love them as much in pass pro but that's where Gutter Stockton comes into play. He's I think equally as good if not bad and kill Russell of having the understanding of when a rush is getting to him. So when the weather's good though, I like Kielun Russell. I like the ability to push the ball down the field and take points. And we saw a perfect example of that against Camaro Taylor. I kind of like Georgia in this. I like Georgia. I think they're still, their issue still is rushing the passer but like I'm uncomfortable with this game, right? You look at both teams, you see multiple ways for both teams to kind of win this game outright. I just think Georgia and Gutter Stockton, being a multi-year starter, understanding what they're supposed to do. They just seem calm, like the number two scoring offense in college football. The one thing I think they've gotten way better at from last year to this year is first and second quarter. Being able to start faster, being able to push the ball down the field a little bit better and just staying on schedule. So I'll take Georgia, I'll take Georgia money line but it's gonna be like a two units. Like I'm not overly confident about this game. I hope the weather's good 'cause I think there's, if the weather is good then it's like it kind of is Alabama. You remember last year when Georgia went on the road to Tennessee kind of early in the year. Tennessee misses like a walkoff field goal and Georgia wins, I think and over time, but it was a back and forth, like Georgia needed 40 to win the game. I think this could be like that. And one of the things you said that I forgot until you mentioned it that kind of leaned me towards Alabama. is Keel and Russell's had a lot of time to throw this year and there's no defense that stands up against him having a lot of time to throw. They're like in the 80s and pressure rates so far this year. George is. And that, he wears me a lot. Like if I'm looking for a reason for Georgia, I want, I want it to be a Georgia game. A Georgia game to me is you hold them to 20, 24 points, you get your 27 to 30, you get out of there with a win. I think BAM is getting into the 30s because I don't think they can affect him enough. But I'm also not ignorant enough to not think first year starter quarterback, fifth or sixth start, Kirby and Schumann have been doing this to combine million years. They could just throw something that this dude that puts his head in a blender. I get that can happen. But that always accompany is accompanied by you affect him. You get to him. Then they get to him. It's a whole new game, but I don't know that they can consistently. And that's what kind of worried me. The thing that is kind of like, I don't know if it's a crowbar theory, but being able to affect Keelan Russell is those two linebackers. Yeah. They're like, was it was it Chris Cole? That's a cool Chris Cole. He was, you sure in the show they can both run. Yeah, they both are like 22 mile, they've both clocked it over 22 mile an hour. So like you can put one of those guys as a spy on Keelan Russell. So if the pressure does and everybody get to him eventually, when he goes to run, there are cats that can run with him. Yup. And kind of silence that running portion of their game. You imagine if we get a moment where Russell's in the open field and his Chris Cole. Could Chris Cole hawk him? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine that. That's a deer. Bro, he the effort that he shows even even last week, he gets bandied. There's one that he's he's he's humming down on the sideline. Then I'm just like, bro, this dude's effort too. Like you have you have all the talent in the world. But when this guy showing up and flashing on the screen on just minimal plays where the quarterbacks running for the sideline and it's, you know, it's only like a few yard gain. But he's like hawking him down like from the line of scrimmage. I actually shot him at the end. I said, I love your fucking effort. What do you say to you? He put a one of these emojis. Oh, oh shit.

You see all these guys with so much ability, but do they do it on the plays that's like they're, they're, you know, they're plays you don't even notice. They're plays you're not even like looking up on the screen. Of course, we can see the the fumble recovery. We can see them hawking down the tier when it's like a god have it moment. But like the, you know, the ones in between the plays that don't really matter. We're getting these two three yards down field, but he's still at a different gear. I think it's just incredible watching him in that front seven and watching guys full sprint and he is just truly moving out of it. Yeah. Way faster rate. I think you're right about keeping up on this with the scoreboard. You're saying that is George going to be able to keep up with Alabama. I actually think it's flipped to where it's key on Russell and this offense going to be able to keep up with Georgia because Georgia, their identity is efficiency. It's not volume. It's not explosive. It's efficiency. They run the ball really well on early downs, one of the best offensive lines in the country. And then you look at their conversion rate on third down because they stay up ahead of the change. Like they're converting like 53, 55% on third down. And the meat gunner Stockton, you talked about how, you know, it's 38% of balls behind the lines. I think the profile is very similar when we were kind of talking about Aaron Filo last week to where he hasn't had to just sit there and play quarterback because they are so efficient offensively. But the difference with Aaron Filo gunner Stockton is gunner Stockton. You have evidence that he can win you football games. You have evidence that he can throw the ball effectively. When you dive into numbers like balls thrown in between the numbers, he's throwing at a 90% clip. He's 45 of 50s. He's got seven touchdowns. He's got zero interceptions. So to me, this is like experience versus ability because Keel and Russell, like again, he's 19. He just turned 19 in April. Like you have a young cat in a spot like this. I think it goes fully on him and the receivers. Scott, who is, is it a lot of Brooks? A lot of Brooks. And then you got Ryan Williams. To me, that's the matchup on third and three to six is a spot that they're going to live in because Keel and Russell, he's an absolute set of not doubting his ability whatsoever. It's just I don't think they're going to be able to stop the run consistently against Georgia. And as good as Bama has been in the run game this year, I think there's a difference between being like, you know, from a good run offense versus a great run offense. And then going against the top five rush defense in the country in Georgia, which I think they will be able to limit Alabama's run game to where Keel and Russell, a lot of their offenses built. You mentioned Keel and Russell having a lot of time. It's like 3.14 seconds to throw the ball. Like that's just a PFF stat. But again, his average depth of target is 11 yards. So he's not checking the ball down. Like they're looking for those openings in those shots. To where if you look at Georgia defensively, when you're in that three, that third down and three to six range, they're coming after you 87% of the time. And totality from first to third down, Georgia blitzes at 50, like at a 55% clip. So they're going to come after Keel and to where I just he's not going to have all that time in the world. You're going to have to get him down because that's another one. Keel and Russell, he can beat you with his legs. They do have the talent to do that. So I think it's going to come down to Keel and being in these spots against like with his receivers because you can get after the secondary of Georgia. I just I really like Georgia here. I'm going more with experience on that side with Gunner Stockton and like, you know, having the question mark, can Keel and do it in this spot when you know Georgia's defense is going to be coming after you essentially all game. Especially if you're living in that third and sixth category. A lot of those cover one peel blitzes are going to be coming after him to where there's going to be a free runner coming after him at some point. That's about just getting him down. Yeah. Then it's like he's got the arm. He's got the legs. Can you get him down? Is he going to be able to put the ball in those tight windows? Can Georgia secondary cover these guys tight because Alabama's got some weapons offensively towards me. It's like this is all Keel and Russell and that wide receiver group on third down. So you're going with Georgia. I'm going Georgia money line. I'm going to do three units on that. Okay. So we're sitting there. Yeah. Fun little stat for you on Williams and Brooks. They have eight receiving plays of over 30 yards and we talked about Austin Simmons. The whole Missouri team only has seven. So that's how explosive Alabama's been with just two players. Austin Simmons is really throwing it down the field. No one mentioned that title. You see the guy to me that they'll be picking on is Ellis Robinson. He's number one for Georgia. That is like one of those matchups whether it's Ryan, whether it's Ladi Brooks, whether it's Rico Scott. I feel like that's the guy they're going to try and go after a little bit. Hey, you whisper to the tight end group. Like, is that just three guys they can play in the NFL like tomorrow? These are the best two tight in rooms in the country going against each other. Georgia's gets the credit. I think it's the best tight end room in the country. Bam is such a surprise. I don't think a lot of the outside world like we've talked about it here on this show. I don't think casual viewers even would mention the Bama tight end room. I think probably you and I are talking morning. The injury reports come out later today. I think there may be some tight end presence on that injury report. But I think they're really deep at that position. And it's just not something they had last year. Like when this game happened in Athens last year, Alabama won, but they had to walk a tight rope to win it. They had to win in spite of offensive line. They had to win in spite of deficiency at tight end outside of quavis. I think now it's, man, we think we can trust those units. We think that maybe a strength of our team. Plus you got Keel and Russell and all that stuff. So I just think it's a four more dynamic team this year. Bro, and they block their tail. Yeah. Like you go the first series that Mississippi state game. You got, you know, they do a lot of like 12 personnel multiple tight end sets. The retired end was lined up as a fullback. He goes through the line scrims and he drives the middle line by the fun. Mississippi state. Yeah. Yeah. Like deep bro. There's like they're dropping dudes too. When they're pulling or slaying around like they can block their ass high end room for sure. Yeah. Was it the four kid heat like rumors, right? Hand. I think he had. Yeah. Comes back in the game weeks for him. But I heard like I was a cruise cruise saying this like this kid apparently is like beating down the door like I want to play this week. Yeah. Like these guys looked apart. They played the part and they loved the game of football. Like it juices you up a little bit when those guys are getting real into it fires you up. All right. We spent enough time on these other games. So you're going three on that right? I'm going to go three. Yeah. I'll go three as well. All right. The big one. This is it. This is everything man. Uh Indiana defending national champs undefeated going to Lincoln Nebraska. Nebraska is also undefeated right now. They are not ranked in the top 25. Well, in some polls. In some polls. Not the willy see. Not the willy see. They're in the top. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're up there in the willy see. Indiana's favored might a seven and a half right now. Total points in that game is 49 and a half. We will be in Lincoln, Nebraska for busting and paid on campus. We will be doing a budget stuff before with our tailgate tour. But all eyes will be in that stadium. 90,000. I think they have over 400 consecutive sold out games there. Like they have not won a top 25 matchup since 2016, but they look good. You've been saying for a few weeks now, like you like this team so much. You've mumbled yourself into saying, I love this team when they don't have penalties, when they don't have penalties last week, they had 10 penalties in the first half against Maryland. Truly, buddy, like I'm just excited to hear you talk about this game. You have the whole thing. I mean, look, again, you're not going to get bold to bore material out of Willie C. It's week six at the end of the day. That's it. We got a big game, defending national champ, Kurt Signetti, all of the respect in the world. They're very efficient offense. Yeah. It's all predicated off the RPO. Yeah. Josh Hoover's looked damn good. Their run defenses looked damn good. Like they don't have a lot of weaknesses on their team. And everything you can prop up about Nebraska statistically, you can also look at who their opponents have been. So I'm not going to sit up here and give these boys some bolt to bore material. When we got, I do like the outfit we have in Nebraska right now. And you talk about we haven't won, you know, in the last 10 years. Have I ever, have I ever told you about, have I ever asked you about, do you know who Frank solace is? I don't believe you have because I want to, I think this is a good story time right here. Oh, so that way you understand where this Husker fan base comes from. Okay. Now, um, um, you know who Frank solace is. I remember the Ohio more. Yeah. So what you're going to see with this 90,000 that we have coming in Saturday is you're going to, you're going to see a fan base that has been waiting 10 years for a game like this. I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you the emotion and the look that all of them are going to have on their face because we're bubbling right now. We are very much, we got a shot in this game. Like is it David vs. Goliath? Is it the miracle? It's not that wide of a gap, but this team like we can get after this team. We really can if we take care, we take care of ourselves and we minimize penalties because Indiana is a very clean football team. But let's go down. Let's have story time. Frank solace. He was hired. He was the successor for Tom Osborne in 98. He was there from 98 to two, two, two thousand and three. Tom Osborne arguably one of the greatest college football coaches of all time. Like Nebraska owned the 90s. Michigan 197. Frank Solich. He wins nine games. He wins 12. He wins 11. And then he goes seven and seven. Okay. He goes seven and seven toward the 80s. Steve Peterson at the time. The next year, it didn't matter what Frank Solich did. The quote was, we're not going to gravitate toward mediocrity because seven and seven was the first time Nebraska won less than nine games, less than nine games since 1968. That's what this how this whole entire fan base has been built. So Steve Peterson, the next year Frank Solich goes nine and three. Okay. We beat a ranked Texas team and it didn't matter what was going to happen in the bowl game. Steve Peterson was like, we're done. We're we're we're out on Frank Solich because we're not gravitating toward mediocrity. We hired Bill Callahan. Bill Callahan in the first year we go five and six, five and seven, our first losing season since 1961. So I just told you about the less than nine games. We're scared to go into mediocrity. By the way, Bill Callahan was a coach of mine in Washington. I actually committed to Bill Callahan in '07. When he had a second losing season going to five and seven, that's when the Planey era starts. We win, we get back to winning nine 10 games. We're there. But again, we're we need the 90s back. We lost in big spots. We lost three conference title games. We got mopped by Wisconsin. We blew a 17 point lead against Oklahoma in the big 12 championship. We lost that one second game against Texas and we lost the teams that we shouldn't have lost to in the few loss that we would have in a year. So Bo Polini, that era wasn't good enough to what Nebraska needed to be at because we're expected to be in the national title game year in and year out. The expectations there. Sean Eikers comes in as the AD. He pushes out Bo Polini. He pushes out Tom O's when he pushes out Bo Polini. We now get into the Mike Riley era. Okay. First year losing season. Second year when he still had some of the recruiting class of Bo Polini, he goes nine and four. September 17, 2016 was the last time Nebraska won a ranked game and that was against origin. That was our last winning season because the next year Mike Riley abysmal. We go down some say we might be at rock bottom. Little did we know we were hitting the sides on the way to rock bottom. We go seven years of losing seasons. Okay. Matt Roo comes in. He doesn't inherit a team in a culture that is a quarterback away. He inherits a team that has no clue what it feels like to win anymore when close games win anything. The internals fractured, externals fractured, external doesn't know to trust the shop callers internally anymore. Matt Roo comes in. It's gotten to a point where generationally in Nebraska, you're not only forgetting about where Nebraska's been, but this next generation coming in doesn't almost doesn't even know why they're wearing the red anymore because daddy grandpa keep talking about the past. And so all you have to lean on is this Matt rule year three is going to happen. We have our first winning season in what eight years in year two Matt rule year three was supposed to it was supposed to tick up. We went in a couple spots to where you can say the old Nebraska team loses in those spots. And then we end up having bad back half of the year with coach rule toward now the question mark coming in. It's like is Matt rule the guy. And again, I'm talking about the fan base in Nebraska. This is a history lesson teaching about Frank so much and how all of this has came to be. But now we're sitting here 5 and 0 for the first time since 2016. The first time being 2 and 0 in the big 10 since 2016. And we have the one thing that we don't have is a ranked win. The one thing coach rule doesn't have is a signature win. And you have the defending national champs coming to town to where the feeling is there that we can beat this team. But also it's almost like you can't give your heart to this game because it can also be a letdown spot based on history. But history didn't have a Anthony Calandria history didn't have Jamal rule didn't have McDougal pick six to the house because a pass the Brasca team would have pissed down their leg when Maryland's got over 300 yards of offense. We have 10 penalties and we're going to find a way to lose this football game when we had no business losing this football game. But then McDougal comes out of nowhere and takes it to the fucking house on a slant route when he's covered for when he's a cover for safety. You got Owen Chamblis you got Williams on the edge. I can go on on Andrew Marshall on the perimeter as a quarterback some of the best feet you'll find in the country. And we have a legitimate shot to win this game. There's no follow up to where there's this raw raw emotional inspirational speech coming. I'm just letting you know that Josh Hoover just like I said about Wigman Josh Hoover is a turnover waiting to happen. He hasn't coughed it up yet this year. But you look at him on the road last year. He had 10 picks on the road at home when he was comfortable. He only had three interceptions. Josh Hoover is a turnover waiting to happen. It's going to happen in Lincoln Nebraska on Saturday and we're going to have a game in the second half in Lincoln Nebraska. You already know money line because I'm willing to die on Saturday. So I'm five unit. You hear me slap the table. Everybody knows Willie C a slap in the table for this game. But the 90,000 coming in have been waiting 10 fucking years for a moment like this. And that's what you're going to hear before Josh Hoover can hear himself in a snap count on Saturday. And the Nebraska is going to shock the world. I can do a book report on Frank Sola. I can do a book report on Nebraska football. I feel like you only tapped the table. I don't feel like you slapped the table though. It's a slow burn. Okay. I'm in the same five units. I'm still playing prep as Nebraska right now. It's a slow burn. Don't get affected by the noise. Friday is going to come bus on and paid on campus. Saturday is going to come. I am confident about this game. I just I understand all the eyeballs and ears watching and listening right now. Big netty. Don't do it Willie C. Yeah. My god Willie C. I was hoping. I was hoping you would. I know. I know. At what point are we going to see a slap on the table, not a tap on the table? Well of the passion. When I know that media team can't turn around and put it on. Put it in a video. Saturday morning. Saturday mornings will know because Josh you don't know this but every day this week I've came and I've checked the temperature of wool compton. Put my hands on them a little bit. I'll tell you, voice strong right now. Yep. I'll try to wrestle him up a little bit. It was a bit of a no-nonsense guy when it comes this up 'cause you're the L5S1. But he's ready this week. I just want to fucking see, I want to see it come out though. It can't be in a not just confidence. This, this boy, this team is focused in poise right now. Psychology, psychology, psychology. Hoover, zero interceptions this year. 13 last year, but he's due for one, just like Austin Simmons. On the road. On the road. 90,000 people, 10 years. Buddy, Red Balloons. We're gonna get to be there together. Oh, and I'm so happy it's not Michigan on the other side. Same. Can we get to stand there and enjoy this experience? I'm happy that Michigan and Nebraska aren't playing this year based on what I've seen the last couple weeks out of Michigan. Like, I'm just happy to sit here and fall back on the three bus and bull championships. And it's been like, at least I have that. But I'm all, I'm all big red this week. I'm not gonna stop the table. Do you realize how important this moment is this weekend? Yeah. I don't think that you learned something. I don't learn something like Montgomery Gentry has a song about like a back in my day. That's something you should be proud of like eat. It's about a kid sitting there and his dad walks in and he starts talking about the good old days. His grandfather talking about being in World War II. And the kid would always roll his eyes. But he'd end up cross-legged starry-eyed sitting on the floor, hanging onto every word, a man the things he heard. And I feel like that little boy listening to you and just thinking like, yo, Nebraska needs this. Nebraska wants this and Nebraska deserves this. So I'm in your corner. Am I gonna slap the table? No, it's not my place to slap this table. Actually, more of a tendency. Where Josh goes before I say anything. 'Cause like you, like you guys can win this game. Absolutely. We've watched it. We've said, wait till we get to this week. Wait till week six. Wait till week six. Where are you going, Josh? What is your little microscopic computer say? It's a great question. Nebraska's its favorite play on the entire sheet. You know where this is headed, Will. Hey, we had the wrong team was favored at the bus and bowl last year, too. It's favorite play. What are there like 40 games this week? 50 games? Nebraska plus seven and a half. Is its favorite play on the entire board? 68% cover probability. So the story you just told, juxtaposed to this year's team and rule being oh and nine versus ranked teams. And a whole generation now, you were right. It exists that doesn't really know what the big deal is about Nebraska. We were just at a place last week that suffers a version of that. Virginia Tech, once upon a time was really good, but now there have been so many years of mediocrity or worse that if you're talking to an 18 year old kid, they're like, why did people make a big deal about Virginia Tech? You got to open a history book and show it to him. Dad, granddad's got to explain it to him. So it all comes down to change in how people think, right? So you think you've got a ground game this year with Nebraska. But the run defenses you faced have been 77th, 136th, 78th, 66th. Indiana's top five in the country. You also think you can stop the run. But this year, you've faced the 89th, 137th and 113th rushing offenses in P4. That doesn't mean, it doesn't mean, by the way, that it's fake or hollow. It just means it's got to be verified against one of the best in the country, okay? And that's how you change how people think. So I'm of the fundamental belief that Nebraska can make this a four quarter game. The model also is of the fundamental belief that Nebraska can make it a four quarter game. There's a lot of reputation rightfully. So that's baked into that Indiana line. I'd say there's a lot of lack of reputation that's baked into the Nebraska side of that line. It's not being played in 2022. It's being played in 2026. And I remember standing there last year when we were watching a Michigan game. And you would build up to it. And I was right there with you 'cause I was big on Nebraska last year. And we were standing there. And even though the game ended up being close, you could see line of scrimmage. And you could see early on like, oh man. And then there's a hail of Mary and like you're thinking, maybe we can smoke and mirror our way to this, but we're not going to win the game in the trenches here. This is the kind of game where you hope that you've built up to the point where maybe you don't have an edge there, but you can trade punches for four quarters line of scrimmage enough to where defensively you can make some stuff happen. 'Cause like Josh Hoover, it's still early enough in the year where you don't fully know who Indiana quarterback Josh Hoover is. And you can say a lot of the same things about Nebraska too. I just think Indiana's being viewed as a little bit more unknown commodity than they actually are. So I independent of what William said, always planned on walking in here and slapping the table for Nebraska five units. - Wow, wow. - Money line plus seven and a half. - Plus seven and a half. - Hey, we go to war. - So that's what it is we can. - And what happens if we die? - We fucking die. - That's it. - Don't forget about the theory of competition. The superior team can still get that as well. - That's what you wanna leave me? (all laughing) - That's what we gotta call a spade, a spade of fate. Like we are the underdog in this game. - Yeah. - I love how you play. - I like it, I like it, I like this underdog. - I like this underdog. - You gotta turn the cameras off. (all laughing) - I like this team as an underdog. - You just, we gotta go dog of the week? - I am terrified, you know my history with that team last year. - Where'd you go? - Oh, that's a great question. - That's a great question. - You got some good portrayal A's this week, ma'am. Dog of the week. You guys have space out like Josh Hoover, he's had zero reception so far. He's picking up right where Mendoza left off as far as back shoulder throws. Back is a deep threat. I think Mars, the Michigan State Transfer. Doesn't have as many yards as he should. Like he's an incredible, incredible wide receiver. Their offensive line seems to be owning the line of scrimmage. Turbo, that running back, like not, it's like takes more than just one guy to bring him down. And Nebraska hasn't been disciplined and they have to play a disciplined game. Having what 10 penalties in the first half versus Maryland. - 16 total. - 16 total is not gonna get it done because his Indianity and constituency, not even like they major in the basics. Like they are incredible at day one install type of football to where they're not having a lot of window dressing but they're very effective playing and play out. Right, I think Nebraska has an edge in the run game is not hitting the teeth of the defense and doing the primary. You guys do a great job of pulling your guard in your centers. It just kind of depends on alignment. Like if you have a three technique that tackles down block and have the guard in the center get out and they are athletic enough to get bigger guys on smaller guys and carpet up. - Hey, cut the ball, where you go? - Yeah. - I'm gonna go to Nebraska seven and a half. - Oh. - Are you serious? (laughing) - I'm gonna get you serious. - He says all that though, yeah. - Yeah, I do, I love it. I love everything you said. I love the history lesson I just got. And at the end of the day, like I bitch and moan about trenches all the time. And if I'm gonna leave from the front, like why not be a guy in a situation where everything looks to be an Indiana type of game and not sit there with my boy and be like, yeah, it's all GBR this week. I've told you for the last three weeks, I'm with you, I'm in the foxhole. I'm not gonna sit here and stab you in the back as if it's the movie gladiator in the last scene, like Hug Me Brother and I just stab you. Like I'm with you, I'm with you, I'm with this fan base. I can't wait to be rocking red on Saturday and thinking like I am an alumni as well. I can't wait to see all these kids that have no idea about 90s in the early 2000s and have them all remember the history lesson that takes place because history has a tendency to repeat itself and I think it starts repeating itself on Saturday. Against Indiana. - I can't believe we're doing this, but I'm excited that we're doing it. - I'm excited that we're doing it. - I'm all about it. - I'm all about it. - I thought you were going in the end. I thought you were going to heel turn like you didn't know. I thought you were going to go hook 'em horns. Hook 'em, hook 'em Hoosiers. - I can't. Like there's been so many times like, I've patted Will in the head when it's the bus and bowl and there's so many things where I sit back and I'll tell you what's not gonna happen on Friday. When Tom rips off a jersey and it's got 51 wheel content, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna get back in the shower and go, at least she's got Tom. I'm gonna sit there with you and be like, "Fuck yeah, Tom, we're all in this together." 'Cause at the end of the day, dude. Got a lead from the front. - Do you remember a couple of years ago, it may've been the national title game, when McAfee is standing in the end zone and Signetti walks on the field and gave him that-- - Oh yeah. - Yes. - Do you think that kind of stuff could happen to us before the game started? - No, no. - I think it could happen to SIG before the game was started. - Yeah. - You're gonna give him. - I think you beat SIG to it. Absolutely. And I think, McAfee, you see a far away, he was what we need to be at the tunnel, isn't it? - And it's not. - When SIG is there. (laughing) - We should wear all camo for that game. - We're gonna go Dylan Stewart on that. - Yeah. (laughing) - He's just unloaded a clip on Signetti's, he's rolling out. 'Cause he's gonna see this. And as much Bolton Borough board materials, you didn't give him, like, he's gonna see all three of us on Nebraska, plus seven and a half. - There are (beep) - You edit that out. - Don't edit that out. - That was right there. - Do not edit that out. Super sleep bonus games. I got South Carolina in Florida. Let's sort of debate it off really quick. Florida's gonna cover this game. They're gonna win. Jaden Boss said there. - Tell 'em about the model, Josh. - Hey, yeah. - Yeah, the anybody tiny microscopic model likes South Carolina covering this game. Jaina Boston. It takes to his coach hours after the game, but I failed you. I'm sorry 13 yards is not going to cut. That will never happen again. And some are all coming back at him and being like, I understand, I appreciate you. I believe in you. We're not, we're not sure anything around. We talked about the psychological stuff with Missouri and all that. There's a huge get back game for Florida in the swamp. Their fan base is going to be rocket. And it's just we're going to continue to see this in the SEC. We're teams have big wins and they fall turn. They come back. This is no disrespect to South Carolina. You know, Cocktober, but I love Florida. And I'm high on air in five. I think Florida wins, but I like South Carolina cover. So I think I'm gonna give you the blue print defensively. And if you like, it's like for me, the whole, the running offensive of Florida, because we were all into it during the Ole Miss LSU game. Like, hey, they're D-line. I'll talk briefly. This is kind of what we were all talking about. I like it. I do like South Carolina to cover. Check me out on socials. Check out the fandom community. Well, when I was talking about Ole Miss or D-line, they're big, but they're almost too big. Like keeping up on the perimeter and everything else. Like the wide zone stuff that Florida has, obviously wore them down. And it was such a let down spot to where it's like, I don't know, again, briefly. You like South Carolina? I like South Carolina to cover. I like Florida cover. Onward. I'm going Mizzou to cover against A&M. What's the points in that game? Three and a half, I believe. All right. Here we go. He's looking it up. Can't spell 'em, there's very cute cards. Oh, it's on the cute cards. It's on the cute cards. Yeah, look, I got Mizzou winning. I got Mizzou covering. Three and a half, yes. Now, where I pause is like, you can't have Mizzou drink the Kool-Aid. I have a photo, one of my sources inside the building. Kool-Aid packets are taped everywhere around that building right now. Because you can't drink the Kool-Aid just because you took down Florida and had a massive win. The reason I do like Mizzou is I like this team against run first offences. Texas A&M being one. So I like Mizzou here. I like Mizzou to cover at home. Three and a half early game on Saturday. It's a nervous-looking game. So is this one here? Nebraska was the model's favorite play. You want to know what the model's second favorite play was this week? Tell me. This one's a really disgusting Penn State. Plus one and a half at that point. Now, it's cross zero. So someone else out there agreed with the model. Penn State minus one and a half. Don't ask me how. It's the classic theory of what has been. Doesn't always have to be. Have not, does not equal. Cannot. A lot of fortune cookie stuff is what I'm throwing. A good fortune cookie. A lot of fortune cookie stuff. A look USC can't travel to the East Coast. And they should have lost a watch in the last week. Lincoln Riley. You got a piece of paper right here. You can't be that piece of paper. Lincoln Riley three and eight traveling two plus time zones according to producer Jesse. And his wins are what? Like Purdue Rutgers. Those sorts of wins. Somebody else like that. And he was in a little. He was in a bit of a competition. We got to make sure the Whiteout game sold out. I know. It's got to be sold out. Last week was abysmal. I know all that. But like fans have to win this game for Penn State. Yeah. You got to take it upon yourself. You can't let Lincoln Riley come in your house and clown you or win anyway. So you've got to you got to get it done. I think you will. No. Do you like? Okay. Minus one and a half. The model had it where? The model has Penn State winning by three and a half. Okay. Which was impossible. I'm going to put that. It's my final community. I'm going to trust your your little model. I'll model that. I like the spot for Penn State. I know Jesse is a massive knit knee lion. And he kind of he looks dead inside. Still. It's like he had all of that season. I tell you all that if Penn State doesn't win this game. What they got next week. Penn State's got to play Michigan. And that game is still not gotten picked up by Fox or ESPN or you know when it's picked out game up. Yeah. It's going to be a big 10 network type of game. You think CW maybe. It might be something man. It might be the Ocho who knows like that game will be on TV. But it's going to be a whole different. This is local news. It's up to Brock. Like Jesse and I we embrace each other just sad just sadness for both of our teams. I do. I like Michigan in that game. I'm going to shout out the weather channel profile on X. They had a nice bag. They had a nice little they had a nice little response. Was it Tennessee? And who? You said somebody said let's kick it to the weather channel. The weather channel responded. No good. Yeah. We're all set with this one. I'll say like to one of those teams is going to have a win after that game. Yeah. Somebody's going to win. They could tie. They could. That would be unbelievable. Unbelievable. That took place. Dogs of the week. Dogs of the week. You want to go first? Sure. Maryland plus 34 and a half against Ohio State. Wow. While State coming off a big one against Iowa, they also have Indiana. Indiana next week. Massive game. Biggest game in the college football year basically. So say what's right between you got a Maryland team who seems dead inside. So I'm going to take a plus 34 and a half seemed dead against Ohio State. Have they fired their coach yet? No. There's no, there's been no dominant or fall in that area. It's coming. It's scary. Because Ohio State like it is definitely a look ahead spot for sure for them. But Maryland. It doesn't matter. They are about 30. Ohio State can beat him by 31. Yeah. But you think that's going to. What do you think? What do you think? You ever watch the you ever watch a brave game like during the seventh inning? They do this thing called beat the freeze. It's where they line up. This track star morning track and you get to you get a head start to center field. And then he still beats you. That is Ohio State. Maryland. It doesn't matter. They're going to body bag and splattering of the week. So I'm a Glocking Special incoming. So you take Ohio State minus 34? Don't even care what the number is. Yes. Yes, I do. You're that high on Ohio State? Are you that high on Ohio State or you're that low? I couldn't be lower on Maryland. Is there a shovel here? Like I would have to dig to be lower on Maryland. But would you say there for a second? Model likes Maryland. It doesn't know. There's only so low, the model will allow a team profile to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But it doesn't know. The ingredients can be poor, but what the model doesn't know is the poor ingredients have also spoiled spoiled poor ingredients, their kids, but still spoiled poor ingredients. All right. Fair enough. Understood. Understood. I got North Carolina plus three and a half versus pit. We said last week, the winner between pit and Virginia Tech, that team's going to be ranked. Heintjele. Done. Yeah. See that season. North Carolina. Got the riffraff out of there. There's going to be a better team. I'm going to take them plus three and a half versus pit. And by riffraff, you mean the head coach is best friend, GM and his son. I just shouldn't have had that. They're, they're, they're, they're playing better as you. They are. The whole team is playing better as you. I'm not disagree. I'm just validating. Well, he's going to put a title on it and I got a nice handwritten letter from Bill Belichick in the office. He's going to take you for the support and all that. And I'm like, he's must have just seen one clip, not the five other things that we had during the season. But I do appreciate it. I'm going to go Buffalo plus 20 and a half against Toledo, model play, model play, just pure. Had the Ramanoodle do last week, but not, not a good week, still good on the season, but not a good week last week. With Syracuse and these things happen. Syracuse was, was part of what went sideways for the model. Stanford in it. Stanford was in there. So we all went down together. So look, that was a look ahead weekend. Sure. Although we will not be betting Stanford this week. So I don't care what they're looking ahead to. Yeah. Like 138 and 138 in offense. Doesn't matter. That's all baked into the number. Buffalo cash for us last week, by the way. Is it? Yeah. Well, those of us who wrote it. Yeah. So much cherry pig. Parlay. I'm going to hit all of them this way. You can hit all of them. I'm going to hit all of them. They'll be in my fandal community as if they're my own and I'll say it'll be on a little note of why I picked this up, but that's driven. That's all I have. That's all I have. A lot of driven. Yeah. Just a little noodle icon. Yeah. Parlay's. I love my parlay. Parlay. We got alt lines and alt spreads here. LSU can tuck you over alt total of 49 and a half Utah alt line minus six and a half versus Kansas. San Jose money line versus just money line. Just money line. You got San Jose win in the game. Yep. Almost eight minus six and a half versus UCF BYU money line. I think they're favored by ten and a half, nine and a half money line. That parlay is plus 476 solid. I will plus three and a half against Washington out in Washington. Oklahoma state to cover minus nine and a half versus UCF. Mizzou money line over Texas A&M Maryland plus 34 and a half versus a state. That's plus nine thirty nine. I'm going to hit you with a three for money line special here Houston money line against Kansas state. UNLV. I think it's going to go beat North Dakota state this week and completely screw up what could be a premier in North Dakota state versus New Mexico game next week or on that next week. But I'm going to take you in LV and trust and Mullin and the third leg of this is Iowa money line against Washington. That returns plus ten forty one. Oh, big boy. It would be big for me. It's a big boy. That would be good. Send it to me as well. Stats driven. Community. Feel good, boys. Yeah, I do too.
