what do I care we got a lot to talk about tonight we're gonna be a smooth hour one smooth hour just me and blood mostly me I've seen all the I've seen all the complaints mark bloodmin complain that Liam was talking too much so I was like mark hey you're a friend of mine whatever you say goes so we got plenty to talk about in the world of college football it is all for week one we'll have interviews on Thursday show well usually just do a clean up on Monday where we clean up and look forward to the next one we'll have plenty of stuff to talk about and goddamn it do we have plenty of stuff to talk about I'm going to bring bloodmin in now when I ask one question we'll get to Notre Dame and Ole Miss in a second then I have one two three four five six seven eight nine ten takes from the weekend that I want to get off then we'll have our weekly top ten games of week two draft well we won't draft week two every week but anyway you know what I'm saying yes bloodmin I got a question Michigan subjected the entire world to one of the most drama field seasons of all time a couple of years ago when they played for a national title one national title despite having all the controversy around it but it seems then that you had a lot of people in the world not just Michigan fans saying oh is it that big of a deal I'm not sure it's that you know they did anything wrong yada yada yada by it's doing it I would say 70 30 maybe 70 30 against them but now after they stole a game from Western Michigan the other night I think it's the most 99 and a half to point to to a half I've ever seen only Michigan fans are okay that this happened only Michigan fans are accepting what the big ten said only Michigan fans are accepting what the max said only Michigan fans are accepting the existence of a clock that nobody else gets to see the existence of a clock that doesn't appear to anybody else the existence of a golf between the game clock that we see and the actual clock that we should care about only Michigan fans it feels like the entire sports fan bases are against this do you feel that too or do you think there's a people out there going like my other big ten said it's almost be true yeah mouthpieces mouthpieces are our clamoring that this is all good in the hood the big ten made the statement so we got to abide by it and no matter what throw it away dude at this point I'm tired of it Michigan won the game but we watched that game for 60 minutes and a second and I know straight up Michigan was lucky to hang in there with Western Michigan that's the story that's the takeaway they're wanting to know but they're not wanting to know in my brain 90 in top 25 team they won't be appearing in my top 25 later in the show shout out to paid paid nailed it if that had been Western Michigan on the 50-yard line with eight seconds left and they threw a hail Mary on the back of the end zone and it didn't get caught in the clock hit zeros that game is over it is in the books the newspapers are reporting the next morning it's done but because it was Michigan they found a second the magic second sack that apparently is in every stadium in the country so before we I don't want to get bogged down to Michigan I got one last take on Michigan in just a minute to start our takes part of the show but let's talk about Notre Dame and Ole Miss because Notre Dame and Ole Miss played yesterday and the apple cup was yesterday it wasn't it certainly wasn't the most appealing thing I've ever seen in my in my life maybe the less said about that the better Washington was sluggish but a rivalry game to start the season what are you gonna do so I won't give them too much too much guff on that one Notre Dame and Ole Miss Notre Dame played Wisconsin struggled for a half ended up taking off one in the game with these Ole Miss defensive half and then and then all of a sudden all hell broke loose and Ole Miss hang hung on to beat Louisville with the last second field goal 41 38 I'll do Notre Dame first they're fine they're really good they're really fucking good they're an outstanding team they're one of I had seven teams that go in the national title coming in I am amending it to eight this week I'll tell you the other team in a minute it's LSU but Notre Dame is in that group and people are going to get upset at my top seven I've already got big F saying you've got the buck eyes number seven I truly think the top eight any of them could be number one any of them come in the national title so anyway I Notre Dame's in that group I saw nothing to make me think they should be out of that group they struggle for a half but you're allowed to struggle for a half you're allowed to play an improved team with a quarterback you've never seen before struggle a little bit and then take off on them that's fine I didn't I didn't have any problem with the way Notre Dame played I didn't come away thinking Notre Dame's not as good as I thought they were Notre Dame has a problem let me do you agree with that assessment yeah I don't think Wisconsin's an improved team though I think writing has found the war right is on the wall it's time for them to make a change as soon as possible well that's fine to believe it's time to make a change I think you're being crazy to say they haven't improved I think that was a better football team last night I mean sure I guess on the field on the sidelines it wasn't it was the same cowardly stick from Luke fickle that we've seen for how long now it was the same I'm punting down I'm punting down 21 at midfield I'm not going for short yardage pickups in enemy territory I'm punting instead it was cowardly once again yeah yeah again I'm fine if you think that's the way couple fickle coaches and you're right about that fickle's not exactly on the cutting edge of being aggressive I just think watching for 60 minutes Wisconsin was a much better football team they were last year will it be enough to save will it be enough to save his job we'll see we'll see because unfortunately for them they they kind of won the schedule lottery this year they don't have to play Notre Dame every single week for Ole Miss I'm gonna just tread lightly because I don't want to be deemed a hater but if you are an Ole Miss hater and you walked into last night looking for signs Elaine Kiffin era is over and it's gonna be worse from here on out I think you got what you wanted they've got a defensive minded head coach and their defense is god awful it's terrible and it was terrible against the Louisville quarterback Lincoln Keanholtz will probably be the sixth or seventh best quarterback they play this year they play mature they play archmaning they play Sam Levitt play Camarillo Taylor play play play a lot of dudes they're gonna be better than Lincoln Keanholtz but ultimately they have the best quarterback in the country and he proved that last night turn it out Chambers if he's on your team you have a chance to win at all times and if you he's on your team it's gonna be hard for you to lose and even though their defense was awful and they gave up that big lead late they had turned it out Chambers and ultimately they were gonna be fine I got to say they play LSU September 19th and Lane Kiffin's got to be licking his chops knowing that he's working alongside Pete Golding and he knows that personnel I would be terrified of Lane Kiffin and that offense if I if I was an Ole Miss fan and watch what I saw last night what did you think of Ole Miss I know Lane's trying to drop 70 in that game if not 80 or 90 that's gonna be cinematic that game came down the trend that in his arm and being the best analyzer and anticipator of any quarterback in college football like you said if he is on your side you do have a chance to win any game he could will you to it he started slow I thought Ole Miss was very opportunistic they take advantage of miscues from Louisville they were sloppy all night they took the ball over on the 12 score touchdown. They scored touchdown after rough in the kicker. They were just the more opportunistic team. Very worrisome though. They, they, they scrape out there with the win against the team that they got gifted 14 points of. Yeah. And that was against Louisville. They won by three. They play, again, they play LSU. They got to go to Florida. They play Oklahoma. They play Texas like this. It's not, not an easy road coming down the road for, for, for Ole Miss. Still high on Louisville, though, coming out of that game, honestly. Yeah. I'm fine on Louisville. I think Louisville will be just as long as they beat SMU in a couple of weeks, they'll, they'll be in playoff contention. I saw before Nelly today said that ACC's already blown its opportunity to have two playoff teams. I don't think I agree with that at all. I think Louisville, if they get their shit together, they go 11 and one. What, what's to, what's to keep them from being an at large playoff team? We saw SMU lose the ACC title game a couple years ago. They weren't at large playoff teams. So I have no problem thinking Louisville could do it. Yeah. I mean, keen holes is going to get better as the year goes on. First half was terrible. I thought Louisville's defense was really fun to watch, really aggressive. They got a lot of bad dudes there. AJ Green was really good. Stan Quon Clark. Louisville impressed me, even though they gave up a lot of points. This is the best quarterback the face whole year.

It's an incredible flavor of drink there for the Body Armor Flash IVs. And if you're wondering, yes, I have to read the ads off my phone tonight because Lukey, and this is, again, I'm trying to get good production help, Lukey gave me the ads on Friday and I lost them. So Lukey, you got to be better. I'm really getting sick and tired of having to cover it for your mistakes. You gave me the ads on Friday before the long weekend and I lost them. Tell me you're going to be better. I'll be better, sir. That one's on me. Yes. God. Liam, what is your brother doing? I can't, I can't speak for a guy. No, it is incompetent to its highest degree. It's ridiculous. All right, ridiculous. I've been dealing with it for 20 years, Brando. It's a cleanup that I got to do some right. I got some takes right now. So first of all, the numbers for our Saturday show were off the fucking charts. You guys really enjoyed showing up and taking part in the chaos. And I'm not a fucking idiot. I know Michigan doing what they did absolutely helped. But you know what, them's the breaks. That kind of was a good start. We're up 75,000 subscribers. We want to have that by 80 by the end of the month and 90 than 100. Please subscribe if you're watching. We're enjoying doing this. We're getting our feet under us. We got a lot of great guests coming and going. Got everything. But you know, the podcast listens are up 80% year over year. The YouTube views are up 80% year over year. Like things are happening. Things are going very, very well. So I appreciate you guys. Thank you for that. Alright, takes vinyl Michigan thought to close out the weekend. I think I'm okay just moving on with the fact that the big 10 and Michigan stole the victory from Western Michigan. We all saw it. We all know it. We don't have to think about it anymore. It is what it is when they go five and seven or six and six this year. We'll point back to this moment saying well, it should have been one game worse. We all know it. They all know it. Fine. But I hope as we sit here tonight, as we sit here five years from now 10 years from now 20 years from now, I hope beyond hope that we never let those bastards forget they storm the field as 29 point favorites. That they were gifted a victory by officials and they storm the field. Their fans were so overjoyed with the miraculous and probable comfort behind victory over a school 100 miles to their west that they don't even think about that they looked down on. They were so enamored with the joy of finally breaking through and beating that team. Western Michigan that they had to run out on the field and celebrate with all their douchebag friends. Hey, douchebag. Yay. We did it. We can't believe it. We did it. Never, ever, ever, let that team in that fan base forget they did that. One of the most pathetic things I have ever seen in college football. And yes, I saw the tweet that's going around today where Dave in 2017 tweeted that Ohio State storming the field after beating a team. They were favor by seven. I saw it. He's an idiot. He's a moron. He's a fucking hypocritical moron. Never let this fan base and this team forget that coming from behind against Western Michigan was such a monumental moment in their life. They had a storm in the field. Never. You got any takes on Michigan to get off before we move on. No, it just legitimately did feel like a skit. It felt like a parody when they were on the field storm in the field. I like what Steve Sarkieson said. Well, he just said like what did they really storm in the field? What do you say? Yeah, like did they really storm in the field? I couldn't believe that in our port. It was like not everyone beats Western Michigan. Number two take from the weekend. And I and I kick myself or not saying it Saturday night. I think I criticize a lot of people in the cost football business. I make fun of some things they say. I do this. If a guy is bad, I say it. If a broadcast is bad, I say it. If things are bad, I say it. Charles Davis was added to the CBS broadcast this year, replacing Gary Danielson's Brad Nestler and Charles Davis. And he's just fucking great. I've always loved Charles Davis. He was you know, from the Madden games to all the NFL games, he's done to everywhere. Charles Davis is a very, very, very good color commentator. He is very good at just breaking down what he sees and why he sees it and why it's relevant and everything. Nestler is one of the best in the business. Nestler is incredible and great and fantastic. Charles Davis is great. What a I didn't know. I came into the season. He's just escaped my radar things just go right past me and I don't see it. I didn't realize we were getting Charles Davis and Brad Nestler. But when I saw it on my screen, I was like, yeah, I'm here for this. And then it was great. Fantastic. You Charles Davis fan. Yeah, big time like you. That kind of slipped my radar. Maybe I forgot about it. And I just heard his voice, uh, commenting over a scenic, beautiful, uh, Austin Stadium. And I got a few chills. I was terrific. He is. He is one of the best in the business. I love him. You got an interview. One of the great. Yes, I do. Uh, Josh, I need Charles Davis. I need Brad Nestler. I got to have an, and we need Brad Nestler for the, so he can tell the story of the time in the Atlanta airport. I walked up to him and said, Hey, man, I've always been a big fan of you. Are you, uh, Kevin Harlan? She's completely brain froze right in front of him. And then it was so awkward. There's a flight to Starkville. We got on the flight. I was in 7a. He was in 8a. We were just RB. We were right on the, I was, I was right in front of him. So it was just, it's just, yeah, it was whatever. But I need Brad Nestler and any Charles Davis. Just such a smooth, easy list to listen to voice, calming even. Um, number three, let's have it. Let's have the dabbo conversation. Coming in the season, I was of the opinion. Clemson, you just got to take what you get. He won you two national titles. He is responsible for the only top of the sports success you've had over the last five decades. He built it. He did it. And you just got to ride it out. However long he wants to coach, Clemson, he gets to coach, Clemson. That was my attitude coming into the season, thinking that they'll go nine and three this year or eight and four and maybe they settled in that groove. It's much worse than that. They were not competitive against LSU. Now LSU, we'll talk about later. LSU is legit. LSU is great. LSU is very good. But I'm not sure I can sit here and say, Clemson just has to sit back and accept whatever dabbo shoves down their throat from here on out. I thought they were ungrateful wanting to fire him a couple of years ago, you know, Tyler from Spartanburg, whatever his name is, I thought Clemson just shut up. Dabo is dabbo. Just shut up. But it might be time. I know you're more aggressive on this than I am. Blutman, but looking forward, if you're not moving forward, you are moving backwards. And the Clemson is moving backwards faster than anybody in the sport. It might be time to have that conversation in Clemson, South Carolina, either making him, you know, give him a, if he doesn't want to leave Clemson, give him a role in the athletic department, give him a, like an ambassador ship, give him something or give him his walking papers and let him go take over a team who's not serious about competing at the highest level. Let him go coach Boston College or Northwestern or somewhere that he can do the stick. And although he needs to be in the South to do the stick, somewhere he can do the stick and, and just be happy. Thoughts, Blutman, I have been very aggressive, obviously you said in the dabbo thing for a few years now. It is sad to see I like him. I like his joy, pure passion for the sport. I like that he is stubborn to the extent he is willing to fail because he likes the old ways of the sport so much. My brother needs a career in media as soon as possible. And he will be so good at it. And that is something to pursue. You could tarnish the sport with your mouth instead of doing it to a program in a bunch of fans who don't deserve it. - You just gave me an idea, Davo. Right here. Me and Blutman will welcome you as the third chair on the Brandon Walker College Football Show. It's not as lucrative, it pays nothing. Davo, your time at Clemson might be up. You need to get into medium. Here's your chair right here, I can adjust it, I can raise it, I can lower it, doesn't matter. Davo, you're welcome on the Brandon Walker College Football Show unless you want to replace me and then you're not. That is what I say to Davo, it's winning. Yeah, I was really more optimistic on Davo than anybody else, but that got beaten out of me on Saturday night. That was, did I lower my chair? That was-- - Yeah, you lowered it to Davo. - Yeah, that was bad, that was really bad, that way. And he like, engaged in a war of words, a little bit with Lane Kiffin to start, and they just had no fight. No, no, like the post game handshake, I just kind of felt bad for him. I was like, Davo was just so much, he's so beaten down by this whole thing of the new powers that be in college football. And it's so weird, because back in the old ways, Clemson was like a shark in the water, they were a killer at acquiring players. Now you can take whatever that means, you can take it for whatever it's worth, but when it came to the old ways of making sure, signing day, you better not have a Clemson after your players, after your recruits, 'cause they're gonna get 'em. They knew how to go get guys. They knew who to call and what to do to get guys. And now they just aren't interested in it? It's just weird, it's just very, very weird. My next take, I have 10, this is number four. You see how they look really real. They look really real. They kind of physically look the part of a very good team out there. I didn't watch 'em as closely as I know Blutman did, 'cause I was doing this show. He was watching 'em while doing the show. I was not. I did get to watch second half. I got to watch them just pound the rock relentlessly in a second half. They're starting quarterback goes out with a little boo boo on his foot and they didn't slow down a bit, not a bit. It was very, very, very impressive. Blutman, I will give you 31 seconds to rebut. - That was without three defensive starters for the majority of the game, mind you, that was elite touch distribution for our three great-riding backs. Wayne Knight was incredible. Offensive line was a fair question mark is how some of these transfers are gonna get in there in gel against some of the better competition. Obviously it's cow, but the run gaps were tremendous. Brown Walker, you could have had three touchdowns. And I'll finish it with this. Toshley made a very risky decision entering the season and it did not pay off in game one. He is a head coach first time, no experience. He has an offensive coordinator first time, no experience at the coordinator position. He has a defense coordinator first time, no experience at the position. That was a mistake. - Well over 31 seconds, well over 31 seconds. Not even close. - Was that 53? - That was at least 82. - No. - Wait Brennan, look at what he's called. - They added more time to his clock. - That was not good. - I actually thought it was pretty good. - I thought it was okay. I thought it was pretty clever for somebody that fucked up the ads. Again, I'm gonna have to read this ad off my phone because Lukey, the producer, gave me the ads on Friday and I lost them. So ridiculous. Except so to sponsor by Bluetooth. Guys, what do women want in need? I don't know, but when the vibe is right, a good consensual dick appointment never hurt. They need a mat.

All summer, people heard that, you know, Machae came on here and Andy Staples came on here and everybody came on here and they heard boy, there's a guy in Starfall. There's just dude down there, 642, 30. Y'all to see him throw the football. And he was incredible at the Manning Passing Academy. And generally, I don't care who's doing what at the Manning Passing Academy because who gives a shit. But this was my guy. So I was like, let's listen to it. And we played UL Monroe the other night. I don't think they're gonna be winning any championships. Not a very big time win, but did set the school record for 762 yards. Camario Taylor played two quarters and one drive and had over 450 yards total offense, I think. The ball pops out of his hand. There's a throw that's going viral where he steps up in the pocket, flings at 60 yards. Looks like he's, you know, throwing a penny and a wishing well. I undersold Camario Taylor and I apologize. Camario Taylor is probably the best player in the country. And I don't just mean college football. I think I mean all the football playing America. Well, I apologize to you that I undersold Camario Taylor. Don't apologize to me. I was on that train with you at the beginning too. Don't forget that you obviously much bigger, but I've been a KT guy too. I actually don't have a ticket to win the Heisman because I just didn't even think about a Mississippi state, but I will put it in after the show. I will, I will put my money where my mouth is because my God, next take the wrist. Next take, this is actually a little gambling advice. In a year where there's eight or nine or 10 or 11 or 12 or 13 or 14 or 15 quarterbacks that could conceivably win the Heisman trophy, and you got great quarterbacks all over this country. Julian saying Dante Moore, archmaning, Trinidad Chambers, Darian Mensa. Oh, no, no, no, just CJ Carr. I'm not trying to leave anybody out. I'm just saying there's a bunch of them. There's, there's a whole lot of them out there in this world. John Mathier in a world where there's so many great quarterbacks. I think you're going to find value in two receivers to win this Heisman trophy and Brandon receivers never win it. Well, one one at five years ago. And if you want it five years ago, it can be done again. And it can be done by being in marquee games or being the best player for your team and your biggest games. And the two receivers are Jeremiah Smith and Malachi Tony. Now Malachi Tony is just absolutely just stunned people with how good he was the other day. They don't exactly have a game that schedule is going to put him in big games every single week. But if Malachi Tony goes into South Bend and is the star of the game against Notre Dame, and they win that game, Malachi Tony is going to be hard to displace from going to New York. Now, Daria Mensa is his teammate. Numbers were going to add up quickly for Daria Mensa. So we'll see about that. But Jeremiah Smith's the one I truly believe. What if Jeremiah Smith goes down to Texas this weekend has 11 catches for 212 yards and three touchdowns? It's clear he's the best player in the country, right? It's clear he's the best offensive player in the country. And then what if he does it at Indiana? And then what if he does against Michigan? What if he does it in all these big games they got at USC? They're going to be in big games, all fucking year Ohio State. And all fucking year they're going to need their number one guy to be the number one guy. He had 8 for 151 and two touchdowns the other day without even breaking a sweat. I'm just saying right now might be your last chance to get pretty good odds on Jeremiah Smith. If he dominates in Texas this weekend, I think he goes right to the front of the line. Therefore, the odds are in your favor. Get one of those receivers right now and just see. That's all I'm saying. Blumman, I know you think a quarterback's going to win it. I know you think a quarterback always wins. But DeVante Smith did win it five years ago. There he is, President, it can be done. It can be done. I do think Jeremiah will run into an issue of gang bracketed in trying to be taken out of a game solely and opponents trying to make Ryan Day and Ohio State win it without Jeremiah. I don't think Miami has to run into that issue because I think that Shannon Dawson is more creative in getting Tony touches than Ohio State is. Ryan Day isn't playing to win a guy the Heisman. Miami is playing. They're pretty much in the playoff array. They could have a little more fun and get a guy Heisman touches if need be. You're right and from a highlight perspective, I don't think anybody's going to have a better highlight real this year than Malachi Tony. I think he's going to be doing ridiculous stupid stuff all year. But again, from the big games perspective, Smith's going to be in him at every level of the season. In one early, he's going to be in a couple in the middle and he's going to be one at the end. He's going to be at every single checkpoint in the season. Jeremiah Smith's in a big game. I guess I'll go to pony. My next take. Bryce! Underwood is a five star quarterback that signed with Michigan the other a couple of years ago He was committed to LSU and then flipped to Michigan. Thank God for LSU Feel good for the boys down in Baton Rouge that they don't have to deal with this it feels We all see Bryce under over their eyes It feels like the national media all the analysts and pundits are in a theoretical game of chicken right now The game of chicken is to see which one of us calls Bryce underwood a bust first. I shouldn't even say us. I'm not in their category, which one of them calls Bryce underwood a bust first because it is becoming as apparent as the nose on my face. This man is a bust Last season you could chalk it up the coach wasn't good the coach was distracted bad game plan sure still Sometimes good players can overcome bad game plans. He didn't now You have an entire offseason with a real coaching staff and you come out against Western Michigan a team You're supposed to eat about 30 and that's what you do the other night. I Think it's time. He's a bust. I think he's a bust Well, now he has to face what might be what is I think Oklahoma's the best defense in the country And you could you could argue that Oklahoma. You know, you could argue Indiana. You could argue Georgia But Oklahoma for my money is the best defense in the country and after he couldn't score our regulation touchdown Against western Michigan now he has to face the best defense of the country bust total bust of blusa That is what is happening. That is what is happening and today the coach winning him they asked him You know, is he gonna be your quarterback? And he said he's our quarterback right now. Those are the worst two words in sports The very worst words in sports. Is he your coach? Yeah, he's our coach right now Is he your co-host on the brand of Walker show. Yeah, he's my co-host right now All of this is true blood man Mm-hmm Davos knock out the door. Yeah, everyone knows how I feel about Bryce Underwood. I haven't been Impressed from jump nobody has I want to flip the script here and talk and bring up something else For all intensive purposes when Kyle woulding him had a meeting with Utah and said hey I'm not coming back to coach that was seen as retirement. That was retirement a few days later That Michigan job becomes available or whatever whatever the timeline was and they're sudden interest to get back In to the fold to get into coaching so my thought this weekend my one true takeaway from the weekend is Why is everyone why are we all so convinced that a guy who retired from the sport is the right guy For Michigan's job. I am not so can I love Kyle woulding him I love the man he is the coach. Yeah, I'm just not so convinced that this is gonna work out and be so smooth like everyone thought I think he was done. It's a fair question He didn't exactly look like somebody who was over the moon to be on that sideline the other day He didn't look like somebody who was enjoying the process of of rescuing this team It just didn't and this is all body language. I could be an idiot. I don't know what I'm talking about But it didn't look like a guy who's in it for the long haul to let's get this thing turned around. Just look like I was Oh, man. I had it made in Utah. I had it they were gonna build a statue for me if I just stayed But again, that's just me being um, you know kind of a bitch We could be very wrong the weight is over football is here and so is draft Kings the draft Kings sports app is now live in all 50 states That means from Texas to California to Florida every fan is in on the excitement And this September draft Kings is given customers the opportunity to get boosted every football game day That's right every game every game day all month long draft Kings customers can get a football profit boost one app every sport all 50 states New draft Kings customer sign up with code walk or spend just five bucks get 200 and total rewards Within 21 days includes all markets as code walker and partnership with draft Kings the crown is your gambling problem called 1800 gambler 1 800 my reset Connecticut called 888 789 777 7 or visit ccpg.org on behalf of boothookasino and Kansas Bettax pass through may apply in Illinois 21 on over void in Canada bet with draft King sports book to get bonus bets That expire in seven days or trade with draft Kings predictions to get predictions dollars that expire in one year Event contract trading involves risk of loss predictions offer void in New York non-withdrawable rewards Issued as $50 clicked to claims every seven days for 21 days one single use boost per customer per day Expires at the end of the final select game win offered valid for select football transactions on the platform for which it's been issued terms at DKNG dot-co/offer limited time offer nationwide based on sports book predictions and free-to-play sports contest availability fairies by state limited time offer First how many takes I got left uh, let's see yep one two and three um number one take that I have left LSU is legit legit legit and I don't want to hear oh it's just Clemson it's just Clemson Clemson is terrible That may be true that that very well may be true They may be done dabbo might be at the end of the line and I'm leaning towards yeah, that probably is true That doesn't stop what LSU did the other night from being impressive They treated the Clemson Tigers like they were you Elman row they treated them like they were Akron They treat them like they were Kent State they treat them like they were Western Anyway, they treated them like they were a bad team simply there to get a paycheck That's how LSU treated Clemson They just ragged all them and this is a power for team This is the debut of Lane Kiffin and I don't care the Clemson is terrible I saw the athletes on LSU. I saw the running back. I saw the quarterback I saw the defensive guys that look like there's 14 of them on the field. They're swarming the whole time That is an incredible football team and that for that reason I started the season with seven national title teams. I won Elite tier seven teams are going to the national title nobody else could win it Miami, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, Texas and Georgia I'm adding LSU. That's how good they were the other night. That's how Awesome they looked they go to bat they go to Oxford in a couple of weeks to play a top 10 team I think Lane is licking his chops to get peak holding on that side line I think I think there's a legit national title contender I'm not going to say shades of 2019 because that was so incredible for 12 games But this is the best team Lane Kiffin's ever had and Lane Kiffin had it built a team that made the playoff last year So um that is what I think about that bloodman It's it's fun To watch the bad boys the villains Dominate I meant to say I meant to say this that you just brought that point up and you're right you get me right back on every season has a story 2023 when Michigan won the national title the story was their ongoing fight with the NCAA and everything It feels like LSU has a head start on being the story of the season because of Lane's arrival Because of the way he acts because of the the fight in the courts on the pro players And now of how good that it feels like this might be the season We're talking about the LSU Tigers all year long. That's a good point by you Thank you, brand. I mean, it's a lot first good point in my history of the show Take that dapo I mean dabo probably catch up pretty quick no way we listen you every chance you get the glazed dabo you're their goblin Hey, we do the show based on my NIL. All right. No, we do the show based on gods and I L. Hold on We do this showing God's name image and likeness. Okay Couldn't remember what it was uh three most disappointing teams three most three teams to watch out for their bubble under the surface What That if we do this show in God's name image and likeness Poor team. We're in trouble. No wonder we forgot about them Three most disappointing teams. This one's easy, but I got three teams to watch out for their bubbling under the surface right there Oklahoma State Rutgers and Clemson those are your three most disappointing teams But it is a crime Michigan's not on this list They they should be on this list. It should be a four man list But Oklahoma State just uh losing hope that fast that quickly It just sucks and I feel bad for the fan base because they've gone through a couple they've gone through it the last couple of years It looked like the light was at the end of the tunnel, but now you don't know how long that goddamn tunnel is Um, Rutgers is just at the bottom looking up. They got to get rid of Shiano and think of something else and then Clemson Clemson is is is is a newcomer here, but You know, you can lose to LSU and Tiger Stadium no shame in that, but you need to lose 24 to 17 You need to lose 17 13 you don't need to lose 51 to 10 and the 10 was charitable. I it's just bad Three teams to watch out for that are bubbling under the surface That played bad teams this week, but I think they got something now already said South Carolina a couple of weeks ago. I started having an epiphany on them in about July maybe August Lunar sellers are going to be very good all year long. He's another Heisman flyer. You should probably take But they got dudes all over that roster. You wouldn't think it because how bad they were last year they updated the coaching staff got a modern offense and I think they're going to be held to pay This year. I think South Carolina is going to win eight or nine games. I think Florida Another SEC team much. I don't like um, but um, they look like a well put together machine down there right now and At the very least the defense is solid and the running back is elite. So Even if the quarterback doesn't hit but I think he might and the receiver room is great too You've got a good running back and a good defense That's going to win some games and then lastly the team is bubbling under the surface right now as we see contenders and pretenders fall in the big 12 We saw we've seen TCU fall already. We saw Oklahoma state fall Kansas state Colin Klein Avery Johnson. I think something might be there. I think something might be there as as you know The big 12 opens up a little bit. Houston didn't look that good the other day. The big 12 kind of opened up in a a mediocre fashion around the country. I think there might be something there for Kansas State. Again, these are just three teams to watch out for bubbling under the surface. Do you have anybody that fits that description or would you like to agree with what I just said? Well, thank goodness. I put stock in Kansas State before a season start to offset the Oklahoma State debacle. Arizona State, I really am putting stock in did not play a worthy opponent at all, but I did like how cutter bully looked. They are explosive. They are going to be good. Obviously, watch out for that game this week. Washington and Auburn were distasteful to me. Auburn, love the kid, love Byron Brown. Love the kid is not in SEC quarterback in the slightest. I agree and prayers out to Wildcat Willie who by the end of the game was trying to do 71 pushups and just didn't have it in his body. I've been there. I've been there. So I've tried three pushouts before. Couldn't quite do it. New sponsor alert. Somebody sound the horn. New sponsor alert. This episode is sponsored by Tony Shasharies. Tony Shashar is seasoning.

All right, looking if you want to get my top 25 ready, it's not looking good for voicemails if I'm being honest because we've got to get out of here by seven, but we'll see. Maybe we'll be able to sneak in a voicemail too at the end. I got my top 25 right here. Again, let me explain some things. I don't really ding organ for looking bad for a ham. I'm looking bad, but just falling behind a really good team. If you remember a couple of years ago when Ashton Genting went off, organ won that game 3431. They then went 12 and 0 and won the big 10 one at Ohio State. So like this is, this is fine. They're fine. They're elite. They're fine. I'm not going to sit here and complain about organ. Now I've mentioned already the top eight. I believe are separated from everybody else. I believe number eight could be number one. Number seven could be number one, but this is just where I put them this week. I got number one organ. Miami was so impressive. We'll put them in two. I got Georgia three. Texas four LSU five indicating how much I think of them. Indiana six Ohio State seven. And I don't know what they made. Yes, I realized it looks wonky to have Ohio State seven, but they went in Austin. Guess where they are next week. Oklahoma nine, USC 10. I think those two teams have been super impressive so far. Alabama, Texas Tech Ole Miss. I dropped them a little bit for that defense BYU Penn State. Texas A&M at 16, Tennessee at 17. Now it gets crazy because I believe for the next eight spots 18 through 25, you could have one of 20, 25 teams like there's a lot of teams that could go right here. Anyway, I got Virginia. Then I got Florida, Utah. Iowa at 21. Washington at 22. Washington didn't look exactly great. South Carolina, Boise State, which I'm just throwing some respect to them. I'm keeping you in there. Louisville's just outside. I think they're they're going to be fine. And then I got, of course, Mississippi State. Now we play in Minnesota. I'm pretty sure we're going to lose, but we'll deal with that later. We'll deal with that later. I just, I've been in Mississippi State fan a long time, man, a long time. And I'm just terrified. We start this season. We have at Minnesota, South Carolina. I'm just terrified. We start one and two. And then we start beating teams. We beat Missouri, we beat Alabama, we beat Oklahoma. All those teams aren't very good. And I'm just terrified of these two next row games because Kamario Taylor hasn't started the game on the road yet. I'm just being careful. Let me be careful. You ain't being careful. You got him in the top 25 act like they're a mighty top 25 team. Don't cower down in fear, brother. Why don't you shut up for something or stand for nothing. All the games delayed tonight. Power outage. That's a power outage. That's, but that ain't the good side for Florida. That's not a good sign. That's the Michael Vell can't afford the rights anymore. Well, guy, we were having to save up for Michael Vell's buyout. We can't pay the fucking electric bill. We're not beating Missouri. Missouri's not good. Missouri's fine, but I'm not scared of Missouri at home and in week four. Why don't Missouri fans want the entire country to quake in their in their boots over Missouri? Missouri's fine. They don't beat anybody. They go nine and three and never have a win over a ranked opponent. Missouri's fine. Whatever. Let's get let's do our draft of the top 10 games of week two and then we will we'll go from there and then we'll see if we have voicemails at the end. Are you prepared for a draft of the top 10 games of week two? I am and hopefully after this we could get to your playoff. We got 17 minutes. I do have my playout. Luke, you got my playoff graphic ready? Yeah, it's ready to go. We just got to get it. All right, so we'll see. We'll see if we can get there. I'm going to try guys. I'm really going to try this time. Number one pick. Who goes first? You went first last week if you want to keep or swap. Okay, you go first. I always say Texas. That was easy. Yeah, that's easy. Swindled them. What trade by me. That's a that's a pretty pretty easy one. I don't know if you heard Ohio State's playing Texas this weekend. Let's see. So I've got second pick of wheat. Oh, god damn it. Everything was all fun and game. I also I definitely didn't write one down. There's definitely one missing. You know what? I'm going to do it. I'm going to pick Oklahoma Michigan because I just want to see Michigan get throttled. Okay. I want to see Bryce underwood throw four picks. I want to see Michigan get throttled. I want to see Michigan just bleed on the football field. So I'm going to take Oklahoma, Michigan. And then I'm going to be silly here. Can I be silly? Be a little silly if you please. Not really. This isn't silly. Give me a minute. Fist at Boise State. I think it. Yeah, I mean, I like that. I think that's the third best game. That might be the second best game on the board. Like that's going to be a legit fucking football game or two legit ass football teams and very well made decide who's in the playoffs. I'm not happy you took that all. I'll I'll I'll double up here at the turn. I talked about a few weeks ago. I talked about them a few minutes ago. I really do like this Arizona State Team. I really do like their opportunity at Texas A&M this week was a low sluggish and weak one. I'll take that. I expect a banger of a game no matter who wins. We should have some fun watch them all and then Bama Kentucky. We've talked we've talked about for a while. I would trade you I trade you for Boise State Memphis. And I'll give you a future. But I'll be I'll be taking Bama Kentucky that again. Kentucky has a chance. Can he mentally look really good? Will Stein had the boys go again inferior upon it. Good. FCS team. Young sense. Hey, but there's a certain type of flow that Will Stein's got that I really really take a liking to. And Keel and Russell look good and we if Ryan Williams got to catch them all Keel and look good though. All right. So it's up just to me. I'm going to go give me some you know what? Give me some good old-fashioned hate. It's just a week two ass. I love I don't I think rivalry games should be played at the end of the year, but if they're not, just diving in week two. Give me give me a Missouri at Kansas on a Friday night. Missouri versus Kansas on a Friday night. Just some nasty nasty. They fucking hate each other. Blum and they hate each other. They don't like each other. They don't like green grade. And they don't like and they don't like that. You ever seen you ever seen the memes they do Missouri and Kansas. They do memes against each other that are like cancel worthy. They they they get fucking nasty. And then I'm going to take myself to be stated Minnesota. Sneaky game right here boys. Sneaky game. We if we do win if we go two or no and I got a row game. Just saying. All right. How many picks you got left? I've picked three. Okay, go. I would love to select. You know, Brandon, give me a little side hug. Give me a little Iowa state Iowa. It doesn't matter if these teams are good or bad game usually delivers. I'm excited for it. Is it going to be ugly at time? Sure. Am I going to have a blast? Am I going to have a blast watching Jesse Bobbitt's Iowa state defense and Jimmy Rogers just giving it a go in year one. I would say yes sir. Well, Brian Walker. I will has a wide receiver Tony Diaz. They got a dude from UTRGV. It doesn't make any sense. I will has a legitimate WR one. So I'll take that and then give me give me a low UCF at pay. I don't know how I feel about UCF. I still don't think they're going to be that good. But the pit. Pits got weapons all over the field. I enjoy watching them play high school. I'm surprised you left this one for me. I feel How did you leave for me, you think you TSA tech state? No, okay. Whoops It's to the point where I No, because I don't think Georgia tech's got anything. It's to the point where I got a double check make sure these two teams are playing this week I don't want to say something stupid in our Western state East Texas. I know covers. Oh my god I wrote it down. I want to follow them all year. All right. Yeah, there it is 230 230 on Fox. How about Arizona and BYU? Oh, my gosh, I slipped my mind. Yeah, I'm in it. Oh my gosh. It's a big little conference game here week two. Is it not? Oh my gosh, that's slip my mind. That's BYU's a touchdown favorite. Yeah, seven and a half right now. I mean, we're we're absolutely This is a good one. This is a very good one. I got a laxico myself for that You have to shoot yourself in the leg and yeah, that's not good. I forgot that's not good I don't be honest. I don't think you do have to do that. I that I meant that's a great scoop by you Brandon Wow and by the way I left a cow and Syracuse on the board, but that one tickles my nose a little bit. Oh, that's it. Yeah, I did sickle my nose Oh, let me just lost a point. That's let me just lost a point. All right, last advertiser.

What happened It it was delayed for so long they didn't end up Uh, saying the game was just over with I think they're in third or fourth where they the it was like still delayed It was like 2 a.m. E uh central time and they finally said yeah, we can't play this Uh, who was it was a Colorado school of mines that That was 16 16 and they finally said the guys it's it's too fucking hot It's just too can't do that.

Yep All right, then let's try. Give me voicemail number one What the fuck what that lost like holy shit. I don't think I've seen a worser loss in not just call it football But in all of football history This is by far the worst loss I've seen of any team by far I've seen a lot of football in my life. I'm a huge ruckus fan I've seen a lot of ruckus games. I saw the organ game last year that was embarrassing This was worse than that and I don't fucking get it Everything that Shihon will talk about in the offseason how there's vertical realignment Oh, the defense is going to get better. We've hired this new coordinator and None of that showed last night. I did not think the defense could get any worse and it did get worse Somehow it got fucking worse. I did not think that was possible The quarterback seems like he had a rock for brain. He was scared fucking shitless. I just don't fucking get it Fire Shihonu Yesterday What the fuck man That was amazing That was fantastic And that was every single college football fan the second their team loses a game every year And Rutgers got theirs out of the way early. We're all headed for this except for a couple of teams But uh, I guess he kind of made a point there We'll laugh and point at Rutgers when it happened But did we really stop and appreciate how bad of a loss it truly was Like it's it's it's not your run of the mill embarrassing week one loss, which is Something that happened Oklahoma state. It's not your run of the mill. Oh, we're not as good as we thought we were It was a tune up game against the worst program in college football over a multi-year period It was simply a way to show off your new toys It was simply a way to get to the fireworks show and not only do you lose you don't lose on a referees call You don't lose an overtime you lose you get thoroughly beaten from start to finish. It is not close If I were doing the top 10 worst losses to start the season in the last three decades That's on there. That's that's on there. That was really fucking bad. They got beat me. Yes, they got beat With a capital B next worst mail, please This is Frank's tank, you know Uh Brian Kelly's I've been doing a good vine Brian Kelly is getting ready to uh take over to Rutgers And I already hear that he's only asking for the god of all You know, I already hear that he's already looking at his family and going this thing of ours Because no way she'd handle surviving that uh, but Brian Kelly get that need to turn 30, buddy Didn't know we were gonna have that Didn't know we were having Frank the tank Voicemails are here to stay folks. I Frank can just call him whenever he wants and honestly when he started playing that I was like this is a pretty damn good Frank the tank impression This is a really good ass. This guy's good No, how's Frank? I was fucking Frank and that was happy Frank.
