02:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
See terms at sportsbook. Here we go, Excited for the playoff and excited. Conference championship week is over. That wasn't my favorite weekend of the year. I'll be honest with you. 

02:36 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I wouldn't mind either. I think I lost three or four conferences. I had the favorite in the game, needed them for the conference futures portfolio, wasn't you know? I just let shit ride. I wasn the favorite in the game, needed them for the conference futures portfolio. I just let shit ride. I wasn't going to hedge. Lost them all had. Tulane, louisiana was terrible, that was the worst one. What did we go? Three and four we lost. Miami, ohio that was another one. Iowa State terrible. 

03:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yep. 

03:06 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
What saved the day Was our friends in the Kibbe Dome. The Vandals got us a nice FCS winner, so I'm glad we gave that out. 

03:13 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I agree too. That was a nice effort there From the old Vandals To get us one. So, yeah, 3-4, not a great weekend Full transparency, I agree with you had a worse weekend Full transparency. I agree with you had a worse weekend off the show than we did on the show. But you know what we persevere, we go forward. Yeah, I agree, it didn't have any. The only one and it was probably after the clip last week was I had a little bit of Arizona State, you know futures-wise, but it was not a great year. I had some little bit of Arizona State, you know futures-wise, but it was not a great year. I had some Penn State. I had some Louisiana as well. Nope, nope. So hey, what can you do? 

03:52 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
What can you do? I've got to be conservative. I don't feel like writing Joey Kanishan hitman checks for stuff that I bet eight months ago and that's no bueno. There, I've got to maybe be a little conservative. So yeah, it was off show, not a good season whatsoever. Any other major takeaways? I thought second week in a row, Texas better than the final box score oh yeah, Should have dominated that game. 

04:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Can we? We're coming out hot here. Is Arch Manning not better than this? Like? Would he not be better than what you've got on the field with Quinn Ewers? And I know, like box score stats he doesn't look that. But down to down some of the decisions he made, I thought he got away with a couple of like lobbed up, interceptions, georgia dropped or incomplete. I feel like Texas is elite, you know, like elite QB performance away from the national title this year and I don't know if he's the guy to deliver it and if arch isn't better than this boy. They spent a lot of money to bring in. You know I mean two years. You're sitting in this guy on the bench. I think he's making you know a couple million dollars at least what's wrong with your screen. 

05:11
Am I the only one seeing this? No, what's going on right now? 

05:12 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
yeah, joey, uh, we cutting in and out here a bit, yeah, to say the least. 

05:13 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Man, I don't know what's going on. I don't know your camera is like over by somebody or something. 

05:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
All right, hold on, let's see if we see if we got it. I'm like you know what I mean. We're starting out hot, maybe it's uh, you know what, we're starting out hot, maybe it's too hot for the cameraman feed. But yeah, where are you at? Because I would be upset if I'm a Texas fan right now, after that, because I agree it should have been 21-0 in that game at one point, you know 21-3. And they let Georgia hang around and then lost it. 

05:45 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, and it seemed like not only you know Texas didn't take advantage of opportunities. It also felt like a little bit unbalanced officiating. I agreed with Sark. I also thought every little ball bounce went Georgia's way, even that final drive that they scored there. I mean ball bouncing like it's on the ground and somehow Georgia there's three Texas guys there, one Georgia guy Georgia's guys got it. I got another one Big Ten championship. I know Penn State was down early. I know Oregon won, oregon covered. I did not come away impressed with Oregon. I'm giving up 300 yards rushing, 8.7 carry. I mean Penn State beat them up in a lot of spots at the line of scrimmage. What do you think of that? 

06:30 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
yeah, I thought you know both offenses. I mean that was the game of the weekend in terms of watchability. But yeah, if you're, especially when it's not a Penn State receiving core, that had and they were able to not only I mean the offensive line, I thought was, you know, both sides were able to kind of dominate with their offensive line. So, yeah, I don't know, there was definitely there's just not, there's just not a complete team out there this year. No matter how many games we go through it, you know it goes that there's always like glaring flaws for some of these teams. So, but if you're Penn State, you don't hate the draw. If, if you're Penn state, you don't hate the draw. If you're Oregon, you know you kind of. So I don't know, I uh, oh, I gotta love the draw. 

07:10
Yeah, yeah, I don't know if that, uh, that was maybe best case scenario for you. 

07:16 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I got one more and then we'll get to the chat. We got a super chat lined up already. Uh, what'd you think of a ACC championship game with, uh, alabama's perspective? Do you agree with me that if the game ended after three quarters, that SMU was out, alabama was in? 

07:32 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I totally, yeah, I'm with you. When it was heading towards, or it was in blowout range, I think so. And then that fourth quarter, it definitely gave them a playoff. I'm totally with you. I think that would have flipped it. Um, smu made it almost like you can't leave us out. Like you know, with that last second field goal there of, like it would have been such a sham if they get left out. And so, um, yeah, I mean I thought the committee was going to do it most of the time and even the way that game was trending I was like, yeah, they're out, but no credit to them for not for not giving it up and fighting back. And now you got. I mean I don't think they're a real contender per se, but you're in the playoff, you got a shot. 

08:16 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, you got a shot and who knows, big day and big game. James doesn't always live up to expectation here and I liked what I saw from SMU in the fourth quarter that goes to overtime. I think SMU wins in overtime. Yep, that defensive line for Clemson was gas. They couldn't do anything. So, all right, I'm glad that you concurred because, boy, a lot of people did not concur in gambling Twitter. They thought I was overreacting to one quarter of play. No, I mean, keep in mind the committee wasn't watching football all year. These are like the only games they've watched all season. So they're overreacting. But no, I thought they for the most part. You think they got the. I think they got the right teams in as far as deserving. They didn't get the best teams in, but they never do. I mean, if it was the best teams, you just go to a vegas power running boom bang and who cares if? 

09:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
teams got through a loss of like. Who would be favored on a new? Well, it's like that's, that's why we play the. If you, if you want to do that, why even play the sport? You know, why even play the season? So I agree with you. 

09:12
It has to be, you know, resume based um don't lose the oklahoma by three touchdowns yeah, yeah, I will say we did a little and you know russ, uh, one of our listeners did a little what the bracket would look like if it was FCS style yesterday and I appreciate the guys on the team there for getting that together. I like, I'll be honest, they got to change this 12-team format Like I guess I'm not, maybe 12, the number in itself doesn't kill me. I really don't love the setup here with the you know big 12-te, 12, boys, you know the buys, the way it's set up, the pathway for Penn State, as opposed to some of these other teams. I don't they have to make a change and I don't exactly know what tweak they'll do in one year to kind of Well, I mean they can do whatever they want. 

10:01 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Come on, the easy tweak is okay. A group of five, the highest ranked group of five champ, gets in. All conference champs get in. But let's just seed the teams, whatever the rankings are. There's your seeds, boom bam, and instead of Arizona State getting the fourth seed, they get the 11 or the 12. Same with Boise. That's how you figure it out. It's so easy, but they'll make it harder than when it needs. To be All right, let's get to the stars of the show. Enough of us, harrison Cooper, 10 bucks, super chat. We appreciate you Harrison? 

10:30 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
How about we? 

10:31 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
lower AP to top 15 and begin AP rankings week four. They'll never do it. There's money involved. You got to sell those TV ratings on those early games. You got to have something to talk about. It will solidify strength of win as better, stronger data point. Well, I agree with that for these committees. I think this strengthens all arguments for in versus out. I hear you, but they're not doing it. I mean. 

10:52 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I couldn't agree more, harrison. There are other show, very popular shows in the CFB pod sphere, that almost every show which drive like they. They get the rankings in there for for like and and it's I knowing some of the people on that show. They kind of have to do it, uh, a company obligated thing. So I agree with you, it is definitely, and you know like they're already you know season ends, they've got the early rankings out. Uh, I don't understand. I feel like we're in a little bit of a a niche here of you know like, where the people that watch this show would be like, okay, you know like we're in a little bit of a niche here of where the people that watch this show would be like, okay, we don't care about broad public perspective, they're going to keep doing the ranking. So I'm with you, but it is what it is. 

11:39 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
They got Texas, ohio State, week one next year. Lsu, clemson, alabama, florida State, notre Dame, miami. Those games get a lot better when you put a number next to their name to start off the season. Yes, yes, so they're not getting rid of preseason polls. I can tell you that. Let's get back to the chat, dealey, and we again appreciate you, harrison for that $10 super chat. Dealey23, brad, can you give your base power rating number for the four playoff games and where do you boys think the game's close? Thanks, they're not too far off. Now. The one that's still far off is, I like, texas against Clemson, oh yeah. 

12:17 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Whoa. 

12:19 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'm going to wait. I'm not hearing. Okay, people are saying that Clemson's the right side. I don't think so. You like clemson? 

12:27 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I don't we might have a head to head, a playoff head to head let's go ahead. 

12:33 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'm okay going head to head right now. 

12:35 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Let's go ahead, I'm behind now you got me on penn state, so I need to make it up. Zach, put it on the sheet, put it on the sheet. 

12:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
We're going head to head. Yeah, I think in the last two weeks Texas's box scores way more dominant than the final scores, and I didn't like what I saw from Clemson. I thought they were hanging on for dear life last week. 

12:54 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
All right, listen, I, I can't get to this Texas team with this kind of mark. Now, again I. The one thing that I don't know and this will be the first time we see it, and again a little bit of a theory, maybe I'm going too much into Narrativeville is what's the home field advantage going to be for some of these playoff games that are played at Penn State at Texas? To me, you're going to get an insane home atmosphere that some of these teams are going to be walking into. With that said, man, I know there was some 12 and a half that opened there. I don't love 11 and a half. Most places I don't. I haven't and maybe I'm. You know again, not to overreact to, but Texas is red zone issues with yours as the quarterback. It's just been a constant theme there where I don't. I don't believe in him. I don't believe in him as a as a quarterback. I believe in his ability to finish drives. I don't believe in his decision-making. 

14:02 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
You believe in Kate Klubnick and Dabo Sweeney, and so does Jesus. 

14:10 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
So that's what we'll have on our side with Dabo and the Lord. So I don't know, I just listen. Maybe I'm biding this Clemson wave a little bit too much here, but I think 11 and a half is a bit juicy. 

14:24 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
All right, there we go head-to-head. Starting off the show. Hot the other games. Do you got any quick thoughts on the other games? I mean, I bet everyone had numbers that are no longer available. But what about Ohio State, tennessee? I thought Herbie actually made a good point when he, you know, thinking outside the box he said things better go well early for Ohio State or the home crowd will be turning on him. I thought that was thinking outside the box. 

14:49 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That is a good point from a new Michigan man family, the. 

14:53
Herbie, yeah, I see he's already sharpened his game up already with that. Um, uh, we so did bet, honestly, the all right, I'm throwing shade today. Um, friend of the show I I saw out there. Uh, you know, c-dub did some totals and I was like man, like where those are, those are some juicy total and I thought, I thought the totals came high in a lot of the games. Um, so, and I don't want to be like oh, gave you know, giving away numbers that are, you know, but I mean there were some mid-50s on a few of these games. 

15:29
So that was, that was really the, I would say, of the place you know got in the chamber so far where the plays I like were under on, uh, you know, basically three of the four games. The only one I didn't touch was the tennessee, ohio state. Um, sidewise, I don't have it's too strong. I know we're head to head on clemson, texas. I would lean tennessee over a touchdown. Um, yeah, but I didn't do anything with the indiana, notre dame or smu penn state. How about you as far as the sides are concerned? 

16:02 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I took indiana. I'm as high as nine and a half. I bet over on like I bet over on that game. 

16:08 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I told our uh, you know, director here moretto, that 10 was the buy. He said do you think he gets to send? I said I'd I'd buy IU at 10. I never saw it. 

16:17 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
It ain't getting to 10. It's more likely to go to 7. 

16:22 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That was it. I know the numbers were flying around early, but that dream is dead. 

16:28 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Our friends at FanDuel opened the Buckeye game at 6.5. You know what? I bet I don't see much right now. We got shows to do, I got. I do have an announcement I I got to get with. Go ahead, Zach. 

16:43 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I was going to say we have Sean. Our guy, sean Higgs, gifted 20 memberships to people in the chat, so that was 20 people who did not previously have memberships. Now we're able to get memberships. 

16:54 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Thanks, baby. Yeah, I just want to shout that out. How do people so, how do people claim that dally if you want them I believe they just had to click on them as it came up. 

17:02 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I think everyone's claimed them there now, but yeah I just wanted to shout out sean for doing that. That was pretty awesome, and he said 20 memberships, since that is where this playoffs will be in four years I make it to the f. 

17:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Thing. I like the FCS bracket. 

17:17 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'd be careful what you would. Let's see what this looks like. 

17:22 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
This is going to be a gauntlet. 

17:23 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
It is a lot of extra games but I also think it affects next season. Whoever makes like the championship game. What's your off season? I mean, you're normally into winter workouts and now you're going to be like can you even do winter workouts? I would need a month just to recover. 

17:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
If you want to. I think that is the direct reason, no matter what people say about why Michigan kind of faltered this year, was that long run they weren't in the portal, they weren't recruited, they weren't preparing for the next season, and then you win the title, the coach leaves and now you're like you're two months behind. I agree with that. They almost have to. I mean, it'll never happen, but the the calendar is a little. 

18:02 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh, it's terrible right now because you're you're already in that you're starting classes for next, everything's about next year. So Alabama can cry, or you could take the you know the Pollyanna side and be like, hey, we got a month start to get this figured out and get it rectified for next season already, while Georgia's you know players dropping like flies. Yeah, you know. So we'll see. 

18:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I don't know, because you're like right now I mean portals open. Can you imagine having to like, if you're running a team where this is now, I mean where teams are hiring GMs, if I'm a coaching staff, I'm preparing for a playoff game, I can't be out like talking to you know Miller Moss, and be like hey, kick, come on here come on the campus. 

18:42 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Have you seen there's like Georgia players jumping in guys in a play? 

18:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
but that's right, that's the thing. Like you can't just wait. If you're a guy that's not playing can't be like, oh well, I'll you know, in three weeks after the season's over, I'll jump in. So so yeah, this is calendar. 

18:58 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
It's broken. It really is. I don't know what the fix, though, is. So I'm not going to sit here and say that I have all the answers. I don't know. Benjamin Rash, 1999, super Chat. We appreciate you. Thanks to the Idaho Martingale Party Saver play Any SDS early Lions pretty available. Yeah, they are, I bet. One is all. I bet South Carolina State, in the Celebration Bowl, made the game pick, but it was much higher. Have you done anything? 

19:30 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
with the other ones. No, I'm in the UC. 

19:32 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Davis, we should have gave out. We should have gave out like five FCS plays. That was my best FCS week in like six weeks. 

19:39 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You know what I think I? 

19:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
only lost one bet. 

19:43 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That I don't know how much I can say that UC Davis total staying under that cost Joey K. Uh-oh, that cost Joey K about a new Cadillac. So yeah, that was a tough Because I agree we had some cause, I agree we had some, had some little parlays. 

19:58 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Well, we had round Robin, didn't like, so on the slide. 

20:05 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I agree the slate when you know right, but then that that told 30 was a 38 points at half. Can't get it over 52 and a half, so yeah that. 

20:15 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh, no good, Jerry, uh Gastello, hopefully I'm saying that right. New member Benjamin's now a member. Appreciate that. Uh and again, sean, thanks for gifting all those memberships. 

20:26 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Uh, just so we know what's the what's the member benefits here? Give a. 

20:31 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
So one of the things that we had happen is we, like everyone, obviously participating in the show while the show is live. We were finding that because I scheduled a show earlier in the day, not one minute before. There was far too many questions that were piling up and people just didn't get to ask anything, and stuff that was happening during the show wasn't really relevant to what was being asked. 

20:50
So what we did is I I set it up now, I mean peek behind the curtain, but we set it up now and turn it on membership only for about an hour before the show. So if you have a membership you can go in there and ask your questions. Those are typically the ones that I get to first, and then five minutes before the show, we turn off memberships only and then the rest of the questions pile in. But that's kind of our way of just slowing things down a little bit. I mean, that's the honest answer. Like we're not trying to like hoodwink or anybody or put anything behind a paywall, but some of it is like I mean Powers Kanish. I know you guys like answering questions from the chat. 

21:26 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
It just gets too much. Like there's too much for all of us. You know start the show with like 100 questions in the queue. 

21:41 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
And then it's like we're getting to like 25. You don't get your question answered. So yeah, yeah, so we just did that. That's kind of what it is then, obviously just to have a little bit more fun with it. I'm not trying to take up your time here, guys sorry, just to explain. 

21:45 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh, that's a zack attack show yeah, the other people. 

21:48 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
If you're on youtube, you get access to some like stupid little emojis that I made that are custom of k powers. So you know, when kanish did the erwin powers did the wind horse hands, uh, kanish grabbing his head. There's some harbaugh stuff, there's some ryan day things like. There's some other fun stuff like that just to add I did. It's just kind of some less fun stuff to add, but that's the honest answer of what we did and why we did that yeah, gotcha, that Gotcha. 

22:13 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
What's the dishonest answer? Yeah, that is Zach. Might get more of Zach because announcement I might not be able to do next Friday's show and maybe even all the next weekend. 

22:30 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You going to Army Navy again. 

22:32 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
No, not this weekend. I'm good. This weekend it would be for the playoff shows. I know there's going to be must watch weekend. I'm good, this weekend it would be for the playoff shows. I know there's going to be must-watch, but I'm going to be MIA. Where are you going? I'm going to double dip. Another show is paying my way to go to South Bend and Columbus. 

22:51 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh, wow. 

22:52 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh well, I mean, apparently we need to get the budget up around here. Yeah, the overlords, uh, are not gonna be happy. Moretto, pizza man fanduel, uh, that stamp sack attack you. Uh, I know that's gonna hurt the contract negotiations with me, but uh, I, uh, yeah, I announcement, so we'll have to figure that out, uh, but uh, that just had. That happened yesterday, moretta no, no, chuck chuck. 

23:19 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
So you don't want that. It won't be moretta, we might get it. I got some ideas that we can get to fill in and not him yeah, all right. 

23:27 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Uh, charles in the chat, tough one getting wrong with bama smu. Yeah, that sucked, because I think bama bama to make the playoffs like Monday last week was really awesome, but we lost Really shocked. They made the right call. What's the funniest whining you have seen from fans that got left out. Also, are you firing on any Bulls yet? Almost all of them. You give me the right number. I'll bet anything. I didn't really look at the fans. I'm bet anything. I didn't really look at the fans. I had an idiot Alabama fan. This was before. Even the show yesterday was like oh, alabama's getting in, alabama's getting in. I'm like, well, dude, big talk, just bet it because they're 5-1 right now. Looks like you've got a great opportunity to make a lot of money, according to you, because right now they're not getting in bud. 

24:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I think every fan base outside of bama pretty much knew they were out kind of going into the day. So I don't know if it'll be like that every year, um, but it was one of those. Just the way things worked out, it was just like you knew it was coming down to basically you know smu bama. So if you were, you know old miss south carolina miami, you already, I mean, the rankings are down to basically, you know smu bama. So if you were, you know old miss south carolina miami, hey, you already, I mean the rankings are already there and you know. So you weren't playing any games. So it's like we're smoked. 

24:44 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So did you bet any of the seeds. I thought it was kind of free money and out seeding. Did you bet like who's gonna be? The five seed, the six seed, seven seed? 

24:53 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I did not. I should have gotten a little. 

24:57 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I should have made phone calls. I made some phone calls, but I guess in the state of Ohio yeah, it wasn't up, maybe it wasn't, michigan was, maybe the same. The only one that could be bet was SMU in or out. 

25:08 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I did bet that. 

25:11 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I saw some of the seeding, though on, yeah, so All right, matt, in the chat we talking bowls Raiola rumors legit. Have you heard that he's gone? Wanted to back BC anyway. Also, tell me why SMU can't win in Happy Valley. 20 degrees no, I'm just, I need 10 to bet SMU in that game. I don't know if we're ever going to get there. I didn't know the Raiola stuff. I didn't know the rio, the rio stuff. 

25:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I didn't did you see that it's not surprising. I mean, it's a guy who literally transferred every year of you know his high school career, I don't, I don't know. I I would be kind of surprised if I mean, they hired a new oc, they, they're paying him a bunch of money, his uncle's on the staff, I don't know. 

25:56 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I did bet what else could you do other than that it'd be, I mean, I would say, addition by subtraction. Get him out of there if he doesn't I, I agree. 

26:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
like you've seen, this is we're getting into a situation and michigan's trending this way with this situation is like these hope you know, these high profile quarterback recruits are kind of like making your making, making your decisions for you in in some cases. So I agree, I did Michigan go 40 and three like that. 

26:23 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Just asking you I know you guys spend money now Did Harbaugh need $10 million to buy one quarterback? Why wasn't he recruiting Underwood for a couple of years? He's too busy winning football games, so you better not lose sight of that, buddy. I agree, but I'm letting you know. 

26:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I hear you Is Ohio State doing a good $30 million roster. 

26:42 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Where's Ole Miss at with all the money they spent? 

26:45 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I'm with you Where's. 

26:45 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Miami at, with all the money they spent Sitting at home. 

26:48 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
But here's what I will say to counteract that. You gotta have a really good football coach to kind of do that. If you were Nick Saban or Jim Harbaugh, you didn't need to spend as much in NIL as some of those other schools to get the results. Jerome Moore ain't no Jerome Moore ain't no Jim Harbaugh. 

27:05 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'll tell you that Well, help him out, get him some good assistance Jesus. Well, you're going to I tell you what I think you know, the leader in the clubhouse is right now for the. 

27:21 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
OC job. Who is your guy in? 

27:22 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Toledo. Oh yeah, why can't you be a decent OC? He's been wanting to get out of there forever and I think this might be the names I heard. I don't think that's terrible, to be honest with you. 

27:31 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
All right. Well, that makes me feel a little bit better. 

27:35 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I've been wanting to get out for a while. Uh, yeah, and see he, he can help sharon more with. You know some of the coaching stuff. I mean I think he's terrible head coach, but uh, yeah, I think that's okay. Higher okay, who else is in the mix? 

27:49 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
uh and I know they're talking to craddock at two lane um, a guy on the line staff who's probably going to be the next Ben Johnson's replacement, the Tanner England. He was a grad assistant at Michigan. 

28:03 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I think, you need experience. Man, you got to lean on experience. 

28:05 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I agree, I don't love taking it just a pro. You know who they had actually reached out to. I can't believe this, but this was per Sam Webb with Scott Frost before he took the UCF job. 

28:15 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
What do you think of that hire? I'm. 

28:16 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Webb was Scott Frost before he took the UCF job. What'd you think of that hire I? I'm a Scott Frost, I'm a Scott Frost guy. With that said, I would have maybe liked to see him at a different place or as a coordinator for before getting right right back to UC. I don't know if that we'll see. I'm rooting for him, but I hope he's got some of the stuff in his purpose sort of straightened out from what the rumors were in Nebraska. 

28:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, they were not good, the rumors. I mean I heard they were very specific enough that I had to believe them. To be honest with you how specific they were. But yeah, I don't like that, hire, I know you don't like the Belichick stuff, that's terrible. 

28:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I can't believe it took us 30 minutes to get. What are they thinking? I can't believe that. I thought he was going to announce it on the McAfee show today. I thought it was going to be like yeah, no, but what are you thinking? If you're a UNC fan, I believe maybe some of the casuals are like oh, it's bill belichick. Like when has been several? When is like the love? 

29:19 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I wasn't even impressed with is what his son did at washington this year no, no. 

29:24 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
And now he's gonna, and it's like I'm gonna, we're gonna, you're gonna commit to then his son being the coach and waiting. You're gonna bring in matt patricia. You're gonna bring in all of these belichick losers that, like he wouldn't for some reason get rid of, that's going to be your staff at 72. A bunch of guys that haven't coached in college like ever or in 50 years. 

29:44 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I don't know. 

29:45 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
We just just fired a 74 year old guy who didn't have it anymore. 

29:49 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That's a good job. Go get a young guy out there Recruits. I don't know. I don't know either. I got a good one, a good hire. I'm surprised he took the job, because I thought he'd get a better job. That's about as good as Purdue can do. 

30:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh yeah, what Okay Is that? It had to be just a big salary. Yeah, like UNLV, you think he brings over some of the guys from UNLV. 

30:14 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I think so. I know a couple of the assistants will probably interview for the UNLV job. They'll try to keep that going, but I don't know. I would think that some of them guys are coming with him. 

30:25 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, and I think Tim Elbin one season ruins my life at Ohio. Now he the Charlotte job, Isn't that? 

30:31 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
really yeah, when you took that, but I've heard that that's a sleeping kind of giant there in the group of five. 

30:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
They want to spend some money. They got some money. 

30:41 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That's a good hire for them. I mean, that's just a grown adult coaching Boy. How about their performance? I mean people, what happened to Ohio-Miami-Ohio game? I said, well, ohio played by far their best game of the season. And then Alvin comes on there. He's like, hey, I've been here 20 years, that's the best we've ever played. So that's what happened. He literally said that in the post game. He said this is the best game we played in 20 years. So All right, let's get back to it. Ryan, am I crazy to think that Andy is live against Georgia would be shorter than people expect. I totally agree with you. Well, I'll give you one. I would not be. You want a hot take? I would not be. Well, it depends on how Notre Dame looks against Indiana. But say they win a cover against Indiana. Look relatively impressive. I would not be a bit surprised if and backs out yeah, pick them, or Notre Dame favored. 

31:35 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I mean because Gunner Stockton looks like the you know you're like the third string walk-on that you got off. I mean he's like 5'7 going out there. I mean I'll give him credit, he like he complete. You know he didn't lose the game, he took a shot at the end of that game. 

31:47
I thought he was dead, like I thought he. I can't believe he gave. I thought he was like concussion for sure, but so but. So I'm not going to question the kid's toughness in terms of, though, like, winning playoff games. Good luck with that Him Cause, I agree, I think back in, some of the stuff is like still getting tweeted out, as we, I think. 

32:06 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
No no, I mean, I don't know if he's, he's not playing the Notre Dame game. I don't think. Well, the Notre Dame Indiana winner. I should think well, the notre dame indiana winner. I should say I don't want to jinx it. Action sports central isn't georgia southern. The quint, quint, essential motivation bowl play team on a roll verse, one with coaching change. Yeah, I, uh, I bet georgia southern, but that was four or five points ago yeah, same uh so I know nobody wants to hear this, so I'll just say this. 

32:37
This is going to be true for any year moving forward. There's a coaching change. Bet against that team in a bowl game, just immediately when the line comes out. Bet against the team. 

32:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Uh, that's making a coaching change and I agree because you know this is some of the thing that we're doing, like it used to be, and maybe the fill-in code like the. But now coaching, change means you might lose the whole team like who's gonna play? You know you have nobody that's uh committed to then sticking around to that, so it's well, that's what the market does. 

33:08 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So I mean, if you want to get in front of it, so right there you go, moving forward. Do that. We're not done with coaching changes, so there's probably going to be a couple more that happen. So that's what I can take away. Uh, but am I laying it now? I don't know, I'm probably lean that way. I don't know how sam houston's uh state keeps up. 

33:24 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
They keep pace I don't think so uh, big stew usc. 

33:30 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That's a good question. Power rating, say, indiana and nd should. Uh, indiana and nd should be competitive. I agree. Power ratings lean ind, indiana. For me ITEST doesn't. I agree with that. Indiana didn't move the ball against Ohio State Value at minus 140. Joey, good job there. How can they move it against ND? Yeah, I'm really struggling with Indiana's strength of schedule because they played two top 30 teams in my power ratings. The Michigan data point wasn't good and the Ohio State data point wasn't good at all. 

33:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
No power rings, the michigan data point wasn't good and the ohio state data point wasn't good at all. No, so I'd go either way. I know big big. I tell you, if we see I don't know if we'll see uh, at six and a half I'd be in at notre dame. I I'd probably bet seven, just uh, you know to have. So I get not massive bets but I kind of, I kind of lean with your way of thinking, with that said Cignetti, with a bunch of time. 

34:20
Yeah, I know, yeah, I agree, it's a Notre Dame team that I don't think you know margin-wise. Do I love them getting it against a competitive team? I don't know, but I lean that way. 

34:36 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I need at least a seven. Though if I'm going to think about Notre Dame, I need 6.5, to be honest with you, okay, Eat that. Thoughts on Tennessee, plus 7.5 and under 47. Yeah, at the current, I could only lean Tennessee Under Weather. Let me check weather. Let's see what weather is next week. That'll play into the games. You got any thoughts on that? 

35:01 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's the one. 

35:01 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I might actually be leaning a little bit over. 

35:02 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I tell you what. I tell you what, if chip kelly and ryan day come out with any type of game plan that involves sticking to the run against that front, I would like I I mean, if I'm in a fan they'd have to be like arresting me to keep me from like getting them off the sideline and knowing some Columbus Buckeye fans that you might actually have some of that people. So this has to be. 

35:29 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I was off a high street. If you're familiar with Columbus, that's their party bar street. There was like this is for the spring game. 

35:37 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
There's like 40 cop cars lined up. I'm like what are? 

35:38 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
this a riot squad? What's going on? It's a spring game. I could not believe it, man. I'm like whoa, I'm not exaggerating 40 cop cars like lined up for like security purposes. It's a spring game. What's there to be? You know what's going on here. I mean, you saw how they handled the michigan situation. 

35:54 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
They're ready, man that I was going to say yeah, and I think you know Tennessee, I like it with their shot play. I don't know, I'm kind of leaning over in that one, but I'm going to let, as you said, need to check weather. 

36:05 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, let's check weather. 

36:07 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh dog might be live in that one too. 

36:09 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Rocky top Good old Rocky top, woo there. Rocky top, there we go. Dynasty things With Carson Beck out Penn State or Indy are sleeper national champ picks. I kind of agree with that. 

36:21 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I think one of my guys bet some Penn State today. 

36:25 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I saw that when that came out, notre Dame and Penn State took money in the futures market today. 

36:30 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You're right, if Georgia isn't good themselves, then one of them. You know what? It's funny because it's tough looking at either of these teams and being like that's a national championship team, but I can say for about everybody right, right right so this is it. 

36:46 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, boise, to make the playoffs cash. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. That was one of our offseason bets that won. I forgot about that, that did win, was that like? 5-1, 6-1?. There we go. Guy asks is JMU the right side? Yeah, I think so. Bet that one. That was a bad opener. Yeah that one. Anything under 7, I think is worth a bet. 

37:10 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, I think there was their quarterback. Hit the floor though, didn't he? Oh, he did. 

37:14 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Their quarterback hit the floor though, didn't he? Oh, he did. 

37:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
The Alonzo Barnett kid Let me make sure it wouldn't surprise me, I'd have to double circle back on it. But just numbers-wise I agree. 

37:32 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That one was yeah, you definitely got to check everything. I mean everything's on the table. 

37:36 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Western Kentucky fell off the map the last month of the season. 

37:42 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Man. We should have been on Jacksonville State the hang-up but Huff had to get hurt. But here's the thing If he doesn't get hurt, they're not even in the game to begin with. Right that was a missed opportunity. 

37:53 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I'll tell you another missed opportunity. 

37:54 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
My dumb ass didn't give out Oregon team total over Damn opportunity. Yeah, I'll tell you another missed opportunity. My dumb ass didn't give out oregon team total over damn it. It was over at halftime. God dang it. I'd be good on them team totals this year. Son of a bitch. That was a missed opportunity. Uh, brendan and chad I'm gonna agree with this one. Maybe we got a bet here. Marshall starting a backup quarterback in the portal. Pennington's kids is gonna start his army. A hammer. I'm okay betting Army if you are. Yeah. 

38:18
I mean it's especially Watch Jeff Munkin take a job. No, I like Army. I bet Army you still like, even at Anything under 10. Where's that now? 

38:29 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I'm seeing nine and a half. 

38:32 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That's up to you. We need bats. People are watching. They're like we need bats, we need to get we need bats. 

38:36 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
People are watching. They're like we need bats, we need to get in front of these lines. 

38:38 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
There you go. Oh Jesus, what happened there, Zach, we didn't get that one in, and that ain't Zach's problem there. We did not get that in right. 

38:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Zach, exactly we got, I don't know no. 

38:51 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
That was fast. 

38:52 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Like that was they are paying attention. Uh, holy cow, all right, is there any nine and a half still available? I don't know if it's widely available enough, like people like I know there's only like five, six books up that's the right side though give me a second, I'll get back to you. All right, I think army crushes them oh, what do you think? 

39:17 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
oh, just for this. Uh, this has to imply navy's quarterbacks out. Right, who uh that? This weekend? The army, or, uh, army, getting the seven today, maybe quarterbacks out? I horvath has to be with with the line move today going to the touchdown. 

39:34 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I don't know, blue horseshoe and is down. 40 units is on Army, so I don't know. 

39:44 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I kind of lean Navy plus seven, if you're telling me. 

39:47 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Let me get more info on that. Is he out again? I thought the backup looked okay against East Carolina. The second half he's running up and down the field, all right. Spencer asked about the Army-Navy. Under trend Feels like a year can go over. Well, it went over last year, went over two years ago, but it went over because of their scores on the final play that put it over. I like the under again. We're not dealing with 28.5 or 31, 31, 32 totals like we have the last three years. It's 40 under right where you at you're on over. You want to go ahead? 

40:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
no no, I'm not on. No, but I would lean that way um all right under for me like alex, which side has the most possibility to move? 

40:34 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Move of opt-outs? Hit Duke BYU. I think the Duke Ole Miss game is already kind of priced in, because that should be. I mean, if Ole Miss was playing it'd be 17-ish. I hear you on that. I did bet BYU. 

40:55 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I think it's all lip service as far as Hunter playing and stuff, you think he's playing. I mean Brian said in an interview they're playing. They're bringing that Miss Peggy lady or whatever on a private jet to go to the bowl game. My guess is they play like a half. 

41:09 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Alright, Anything over three. I'm on BYU. 

41:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I played some Colorado pick. 

41:20 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh, you like some Well okay. I hear you on that. 

41:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
But I mean, I don't know, this is one that, when the news comes out, right or wrong, is going to move significantly, massively, yeah. 

41:31 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Let's just hope we're on the air when it happens. Charles saw on the chat when it happens. Charles saw on the chat any portal rumblings we're sharing. I haven't even gotten dived into it other than the known factors trying to make bets I'm hearing Quinn Ewers is a name. Keep an eye on. 

41:51 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I heard Michigan's taking a close look at who For quarterback. What do you think of Billy Edwards from Maryland? Oh my God. 

42:00 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Please, michigan being total under, I got another one. If Hugh Freeze thinks Ashton Daniels is the answer, oh my God. 

42:10 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I mean, I think he's better than Peyton. 

42:12 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Thorne. 

42:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Maybe not the answer to get him to eight, nine wins next year. 

42:18 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Deuce Knight better be ready to go, and he's not. He's too raw. All right, I get let's. You got another one. Look at you, you, the Joey insider. 

42:27 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
No, no, okay, no. But in terms of actual game, I want to see where you're at on this one. 

42:34 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
That to give see where you're at on this one. About to give out when you at on Mizzou Iowa I haven't died Is Iowa quarterback coming back or no? 

42:42 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
No, I think they're down to QB three here I know Luther Burns out. 

42:48 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I can only lean Missouri. 

42:50 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Do you want to dig it in at two and a half? 

42:53 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
My numbers. I will say full disclosure. My numbers don't call for it, but if you want to give it out, I'm I'm not opposed. 

42:59 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Jack fired up. Give me an under two and a half. 

43:03 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Boom, get it in there. Missouri, go, go, go, go, go. My two and a half before they Joking. Why would the ACC send Duke to play Ole Miss instead of Syracuse or Miami? Seems like an odd choice. Yeah, I don't know, that's crazy. Yeah, that would have been a much better matchup. Yeah, is there any bowl games outside the playoffs you're really excited about? 

43:27 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh, man, you want to talk about like, thank God they have, you know, gambling for some of these games. 

43:35 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I mean I'll say one that I was really disappointed georgia tech, vanderbilt because I wanted to bet on both. Yeah, uh, that sucked. Uh, I still lean. I bet vanderbilt, they're trying. There's really, I mean there's not. Byu colorado would be fun if the Colorado players play Alabama. 

43:59 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Michigan to get a good idea of who can play for next season. Yeah, I got to tell you I mean that was one. I know I mean they were on top of it was really hoping to get some Bama in that one, but man, it came, it came rich. 

44:10 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
It did, I was hoping single digits. 

44:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I feel like, especially with the upper tier power four programs like these bowl games if you're not in the playoff are going to be like borderline exhibitions. 

44:24 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I guess that's the only excitement I have is I'm already treating it for next season. I'm going to watch them for next season who can play, who can't play. But as far as this season I'm not even going to touch teams' power ratings much. The season's over for a lot of these teams. Arthur in the chat lapping up the tears of SEC fans today has been amazing. Yes, canceling your tough non-conference games will surely save you from losing to 6-6 teams. Clowns talking about Alabama. Anyways, buckeyes minus seven and a half. I'm not there on the Buckeyes. I don't. My trust in Ryan Day is completely gone in a big game Gone. 

45:01 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You would think that this would be a spot like the bounce back spot of all bounce back spots. 

45:06 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Oh my God, You'd think they'd have been ready for Michigan. 

45:14 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Well, I just can't get. I need a better. I need a better price on if you're gonna give me some Ohio. State I know, if you give me six and a half, then I'm in on Ohio State. 

45:23 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Alex, we hit you. Army is, oh is, nine and a half too rich, it's not. Marshall's gonna be devastating the portal Boy. Everyone Asked me and they really got on me on that Louisiana pick. Louisiana's quarterback got hurt and they're down to a third string. And it was just over Yep Belichick. We talked about Charles. Oh, my buddy, mike hearing a team offer. I never know if he's, it's always tongue-in-cheek with Mike Hearing a team offer. Chandler Morris $1 million. It's time to end the portal. I'm guessing that's a joke, or is it true? Chandler morris? I mean, I know he hit the portal. Um, I know he hit the portal too, but a million I'm guessing mike's joking. 

46:03 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I you would hope so, but I mean they have to do. I don't know what it's, it's all gonna change. They have to do something to like get these kids on multi-year where if you're going to sign a deal with a pro, the whole and I don't blame them. 

46:20 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I have a jacket loaded. 

46:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
It's like the equivalent of if NFL had, if everyone was a free agent after every season. So right, it's just. It's absolute chaos. And I don't blame if you're a kid who's like oh, I'm making you know 200 000, I had a good year. Why would you not throw your name in to see if somebody offers you a million, two million? So I I'm not blaming the kids, but you got to get like multi-year deals or something on to stabilize some of this jacob couple uh super chats, uh 499, andy live to win it all. 

46:57
Yeah, I think so the path is there. I mean the path is there, jake, like the it's you wouldn't normally think that. And I I will say especially again one data point the usc game. I was like man, this, they just they don't look elite in any outside of you know love, and that they don't look elite outside of love and that I don't know what part of the Notre Dame team is truly elite. But that might be good enough for that path. I mean, I think they can get there. Yeah, I agree. 

47:27 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, I think eventually I didn't bet it, though, jacob. Also. Thoughts on the Liberty game. I bet Buffalo Salters out Boy. Thoughts on the Liberty game. I bet Buffalo Salters out Boy. That's at the end, that's in January, that's already next year. What team? I think Buffalo will be more locked in. I didn't do anything, they're bad, but I mean, who's going to play for Liberty? I? 

47:48 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
don't know. I mean, where do you think I didn't bet the game? I got a gun to my head with lean Buffalo. I think it's one that you know. A month away you'll kind of have to see a little bit more who's actually going to suit up. Yeah. 

48:05 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I was trusting that Buffalo won't have as many guys hit the portal as Liberty and Salter's already gone. 

48:11 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
And I I I feel like Salter missed his money window last year. After last season he sucked. 

48:19 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, this year. 

48:21 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I know I don't know what kind of a downgrade you know it is. We'll see what, see who they're playing, but man, yeah, he was brutal. 

48:29 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Got a few more here and then we're going to call it. 

48:39 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
We got a few more here and then we're gonna call it. We're gonna call it a show, hold on, got other shows, other priorities. He said I got a hard out. I might be with. I might be with rocco here on this one, because that's another one where they on a fate, I think the miami guys at least cam ward was on that call with deon sanders, uh, or sadadur Sanders, and he's like no, we're playing, which makes me think it was probably part of his deal. 

48:58 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
So playing, you think they're going to play. 

49:01 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's what I'm saying. 

49:02 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Because the lines are super short, if they are. 

49:05 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Can't. 

49:06 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I need more info. Man, I'm not getting burnt. 

49:10 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I bet Miami, I'll tell you that. 

49:12 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
You want to give it out. You want to give it out. 

49:13 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You want to give out miami I mean, we could get burnt, but rocco knows his genes I don't want it. 

49:20 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
You want to bet christopher holy, fuck, you're crazy. 

49:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I just I mean, if you what's what's, let's just say what's the line on miami iowa state. 

49:28 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
If this was, not six or seven, at least least. So all right, let's bet it, let's roll. 

49:36 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Zach, lock it in, baby. Give me those, give me the. 

49:39 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
You Isn't there, I mean. 

49:46 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Cam Ward on a. Did you see the video? I'll send you the video. He was on a FaceTime with one, the sanders brothers, and said he's playing that he's playing. 

49:55 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Last night all right if he's playing. That's a great bet. 

49:58 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That's the best bet now here's the thing that it's funny because it's both the sanders and him. Playing might mean like a quarter or a half, but long story short, what can you do with that? If it comes out he's playing, we're gonna get some line value. Then you can do what you want with the bet. 

50:16 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Guy asks should OU roll Navy? Who's playing for OU? I did bet OU. Somebody released a stupid number six and a half. Who was it? Can I get on them? Can I get on our friends? Oh look, it was our friends at FanDuel. Thank, get on them. Can I get on our friends? Oh look, it was our friends at FanDuel. Thank you very much, fanduel, we love you. Thank you for being a sponsor. They opened six and a half. I bet OU. But again, that can be. Looks good on paper, but then when half the defense is out and they're trying to stop the option yeah, service academies tend to be play on teams you would think, oh, extra time to prep for the option. 

50:53 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
You should bet against service academy teams the only guy who does that's like pj fleck, like the one time, the option of the way, like there's no, yeah, uh, I don't know. I agree, I, uh, I, that's one. You got to see who's playing. I mean arnold's already gone, but that's not a big surprise joe in the chat. 

51:13 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Rutgers plus seven and a half. Colorado minus two. Jmu minus six and a half. If the JMU quarterback's not in the portal, like you think, that would be my favorite of the bunch there. Rutgers probably plus the hook there too. 

51:25 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I marinated on that one. I didn't pull the trigger. I would have. 

51:29 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Is it seven and a half at? I thought it was pretty much seven everywhere. 

51:33 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I thought FanDuel still had 7.5. 

51:35 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Really Our friends at FanDuel. 

51:38 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah, they do. You want to play 7.5? Yeah, let's bet it. 

51:43 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I'll take the hook there. Are you kidding me? What's Kansas State doing Nothing? I trust Rutgers. Tougher schedule, yeah, Maybe not. Somebody's going to say, oh, you know tougher schedule. Well, I don't know. I guess Rutgers didn't play that tough of a schedule this year. But I'll take the seven and a half. I liked what I saw from them down the stretch. 

52:02 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I agree. 

52:03 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
What's the line if he doesn't call timeout against Illinois and they win the game? 

52:08 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
There we go. 

52:10 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Hopefully we got that in. Hopefully Zach's not already looking for one of his other his new fancy show. 

52:23 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
We're talking about Jacob Truba and David McDavid and the other three NHL players I can name. 

52:27 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
First of all, it's in and second of all, the next show of the day is with Pizzola, so call that show. 

52:38 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Jimmy, yes, vandy, plus two and a half. I lean that way, but let's see if we can get a better number. Man, again, I hate that those two teams are playing one. Yeah, that's really I was like circling Vandy is one of my playoff, my bowl games of the year. 

52:54 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah. 

52:55 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
But not a great opponent. 

52:59 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
No, I kind of leaned George's deck in that one oh do you want to go ahead? 

53:03 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
No, I don't want to go ahead. 

53:04 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Let's wait to see. 

53:05 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
We can wait, I don't want to. No, I don't want to go ahead to head there. You know what number I got, richard. Can you give us the current coaching changes Googlecom? 

53:20 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Uh, I know I'm being a dick, I'm sorry, I don't know, like I don't know, if he was. 

53:26 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I thought he was going to. There's literally 20 of them. We can do a whole podcast. We got the off season for that. Richard, I don't. Coaching changes, as in you know, interims for bowl games. Coaching changes, as in you know, interims for bowl games yeah, again, I. I mean I'll give you the ones that are still out there Central, no, new Mexico hasn't hired anybody. North Carolina hasn't hired anybody. So I kind of lean Connecticut in that game. Ohio hasn't hired anybody. Sam Houston hasn't hired anybody. Unlv hasn't hired anybody in West Virginia. So a majority of those I have played against those teams in the bowl game. 

53:57 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I will. Okay, I got to tell you. I know I just spent, you know, five minutes trashing North Carolina earlier in the show. If that gets to two and a half or three, I'm betting North Carolina. I don't care who's coach, I'll put the notable, I'll put the Jordan hat on and go out there and you yell at them around Two, three versus UConn. 

54:19 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Who's playing Is Hampton and them playing, Come on. But I will say this is in the weeds. 

54:25 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
How many players for UConn start on North Carolina Two? 

54:29 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
This is in the weeds. Connecticut had a lot of guys in the portal. Did you see that? 

54:34 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Yeah. 

54:35 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
I got to look and see but I'm getting. Sorry, looks like Castellanos to Florida State. I'm getting. 

54:45 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh man. 

54:47 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Do you like? 

54:48 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Castellanos yeah. 

54:51 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Is. 

54:51 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Norvell going to lose his job after 12-0? Like that's your guy, that's the man. I don't like that Life in the portal. 

55:01 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Go out and recruit high school kids, Develop them. Kirk in the chat, like Syracuse, my 6.5. I did bet Syracuse not at 6.5, though Fran Brown says everybody's playing, so I kind of like that. 

55:12 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
I heard. 

55:13 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Washington State might have a lot of guys enter the pool. 

55:15 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
That was the of the openers, Kirk, and I don't want to be. 

55:21 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
You're the one that beat me to that. 

55:24 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Maybe, maybe. That was quite a number they put up there. And again I agree with what Fran Brown did, but Not because and again I agree with the Fran Brown, but also Washington state, I think. I mean, I think, may you made it like it's an Exodus, so they were down the stretch the last. It seemed like they were already preparing for the Exodus the last three weeks of the season. 

55:47 - Brad Powers (Co-host)
Yeah, their season ended a month ago and that's how they played. I mean a month ago and that's how they played. I mean they lost three straight games outright as a double digit favorite. No one was as bad as them down the stretch. So yeah, syracuse is the only way I looked there. Finally, and most importantly, kyle in the chat, joey pucks. 

56:05 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Kyle, I'm not going to leave you hanging, baby. We got an odd Zach. You have to jump in to see. Uh got Zach. You have to jump in to see. We've got wings sabers under tonight. 

56:15 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
Double best bet. 

56:18 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
Oh, that was on the yeah. And then Edgwick doubled the team. I tell you, well, who's I always got to? I say Edgwick, but I really am hoping it's Murado, Murado. You know, unfortunately got to give credit where credit's due. He's actually been. Did know, did we fire Albert? Is Albert not coming on the show anymore, like I've been wanting these? You know, albert fades. 

56:39 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
No, no, albert's terrified of giving a bet. He started the season strong and then it just tailed and tailed, and tailed and then all of a sudden all the bets started coming slow. He had one day last week where it was just fire, fire, fire and One day last week where it was just fire, fire, fire and I think he went like one for something massive and that was the end of it. 

56:58 - Joey Knish (Co-host)
All right. Well, I mean, that's the double. Yeah, if you've got, there's some juice, six and a half or six plus money Sabres wings under tonight.

Oh yeah, memphis. Well, yes, man, it's a price. We've not anymore.

58:37 - Zack Phillips (Announcement)
I, I, I know what. I know what it was with the memphis one. It wasn't list, it wasn't listed in here to track. That's why I can go back and add it attractively. I bet we better no, no, no, no no no, no, no no, that's that and I can't, I can't track it on there with that all right, we showed it on the screen. It will be added, don't worry, we showed it. It was a best bet. I could not track it because it was not on BetStamp.
