Speaker 3 (01:05):
I almost had. I almost had a ten leger hit.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
You're so close with you. There's a fun thing we
do at Bustle with the boys. Whether it's Saturday, Sunday, Thursday, Monday,
whenever there's a football game on, boys, just start putting
in the group chat. You know, fan duel here. I
got this parlay, I got this parlay. I don't even
look at the parlays. I just hit him and I
put on whatever on it responsibly, responsibly. But I just

(01:31):
love to be in the action with my dogs. Yeah, absolutely,
And Will had a ten legger college football, everything was
going according to plan, literally everything ever until the Dogs until.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
It was and I could have should have, I don't know,
cashed out. There's a part where I should have cashed out,
And honestly, I was thinking I should hit this cash out.
There's no way George is gonna get this ball back
and move the ball down to score and take the lead.
And but I held it because I say it's like, hey,
what if we want Baman to win, maybe I have

(02:04):
to stay on this parlay if I get out to
all of a sudden, Georgia wins, and then I'm kicking
myself both ways, yep. And I wanted to cash out
just so I could be like I want to cash
out and just vibes because it's not like I'm gonna
sit there and be hype in G's face if Georgia
comes back rights, but I could cash out and just
go all in on like route for Baman to win
this game. But if Georgia happened to win and I

(02:25):
cashed out, I'd be like, oh fuck, this is all bad.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
See for me. I was kind of I wanted you
to have his time. He had his headphones and he
was there, but he really wasn't there. He was so
focused on the game. Well while watching Oregon and pet State,
But I'm sitting next to JP and like, towards the
end of that game, I keep showing flashing them over
the fandle like, hey, the Sultan Laker. I kind of
need Georgia. I need Georgia to come back in a big.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Way and say it a little loud on it hey,
like look over it. Get because Garrett's like verbally assaulting people.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
And the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Absolutely murdering Lucky.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
They were on the other side of the TV.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, no doubt a little bit differently, but yeah, Will
had himself an L five S one's uh seas up
during the game, So he went from the front row
to the back round and I keep like getting a
little kink in my neck looking back at him, being like, hey,
do we catch out this thing? Because it is his parlay.
So when I get there's nine out of ten legs,
like I'm kind of letting somebody else drive here, and

(03:15):
he goes I'm staying. I thought, damn, we're staying in
the back.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Last words, get nervous.

Speaker 5 (03:21):
Will move to the back because you were next to
me all game, and was like you might have.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
This because I had to like stand like my bag
spasm again. Yeah you know I sit on soft Yeah
you what? I know? You heard that fart though?

Speaker 6 (03:38):
Which one?

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But he's smoking out the whole point apparently me bro
fard Gate fark gate was happening. Can we get a
big round up aplause for everybody on the bus being
victorious in college football this week? Their teams going victorious.
Ge we just talked about Alabama, Mitch Ohio State one,
and you're I guess, Steve fan Baylor big win Tennessee

(04:02):
with an overtime win. Gang Cox, just beamer ball? Was
that two defensive touchdowns back to back, back to back.
Just the offense sitting on the island be like, yeah,
I guess we was just gonna win this game no
matter what. And then clump, he is a he's a
Tennessee fan. He's a he's a State of Tennessee fan.
Tennessee volunteers win. Vanderbilt blows out Utah State got a
little harry in the first half. Second half they blew

(04:23):
it off.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
I think too. A big takeaway from the weekend is
like you watch both the Big Ten and that the
heavyweight fights between the Big Ten the SEC. It's like
the conference plays wide open. Yeah you said to watching
Oregon Penn State both good football teams, but still it's
like nobody wasn't lopsided. You look at Illinois take care
of USC and by the way, Illinois should that game

(04:45):
shouldn't have That game was closer than what it should
have been. Illinois should have won, maybe by a couple
of scores. Yea, that they were taking care of the football,
but you look at, you look at however, everything's went down.
Alabama is now just they're fully back into the fold,
taking down Georgia, miss be State given Tennessee a run
for their money. Like everything is wide open.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Everything's wide open. I agree with almost everything you said,
except for the Oregon Penn State game that I know
it went to double overtime, but I felt like that
game was controlled. Ninety nine point nine percent of the
game was controlled by the Ducks, like they just felt
like they were They were moving the ball much better,
They're converting more often. They seem very poised at Penn State,

(05:26):
and the skycam you every time time it came out
of commercial and you just see that sea of white
and that white out going on at night time. It
is got to be the most intense environment and probably
all of college football. Yeah, gotta be, if not one,
what two to Tennessee, maybe because Tennessee gets allowed to
But I've only been there for like a noon three
o'clock game, and so yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Guess I love view it more from the lens of
when I look at the Husker schedule in Penn State
and USC on there, both those are both beatable games
because if there are like two big dog players. Oregon
going into Penn State on a night game wide out
and getting that w with a young football team like
that speaks volumes. And then also Oha State going out
to Washington and take care of business against them because

(06:09):
that quarterback was like the Washington's quarterback has been like
number one on like all of the charts that come
out big ten play quarterback running stud Ohio States defenses
for real.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
And the first half it might have been the first half.
In the first drive of the second half for Washington,
they were in the red zone three times. It only
came away with six points. They had two field goals, yeah,
and then one was either blocked or miss or something
like that, so it was a lot closer. They end
up pulling away in the end with Jeremiah Smith, dude
running averts on everybody him having a little over give
him the ball. It literally got the ball at the
line of scrimmage and just ran it for twenty five

(06:40):
yards no problem. Like that did is extremely special. Ohio
State's legit dude. That's a legit ball club. Patricia's doing
a great job. Ryan Day's doing a good job keeping
his boys all dialed in. So it's gonna be a
fun one that third week in November. Man, that'll be
a fun game for sure. Let's talk about was it
Friday night Virginia FSU double over, double overtime, the fastest

(07:03):
rush the field of all time? Like I have we
seen the injury report on that wide receiver yet?

Speaker 3 (07:08):
Yeah, it sounds like he's clear to play good because
when that happened, I was legitimately worried because again you'll
see like these mosh pits and everything that happened to
these concerts where people die and when they storm the field. Yeah, yeah,
astra world. I saw those videos. And when I see
that stormy happen, I'm like, they're not even on their feet.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
And you know, you know some of these like students
are getting a little rowdy and they there's nothing, you know,
throw a little boat. There's a lot of people. Maybe
no one's gonna see if I throw a little bow
in this kid's chin real quick, So you never know,
you never know what's gonna happen. Got the helmet on,
that chin's exposed. But he talked as a guy who's
been in a lot of football fights. I'm telling you
it's the crank the face mask and he got a

(07:49):
lot of exposure in that throat area, a lot of exposure.

Speaker 3 (07:53):
Man, I tell you, I hate the fake tough guyness
when these fans are on the field. They got their
phone out and they're like flipping off the rights and
quarterback knowing like nothing's really gonna happen.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
Lagarret blunts out there. You don't find out what happens.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, we.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Blunts back in the game.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
Is what we need, dude. Good composure.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Yeah yeah, mouf Fasa, Yeah it was Mufasa in the
water Buffalo.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I thought that kid was done for. I thought that
kid was done.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Now.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
There was an interesting situation that game, double overtime. Virginia
scores and the coach sends out the pat go out
there not knowing the second overtime you got to go
for two. The refs sit back and they go, hey,
it seems like just a little bit of mix up.
You guys, go ahead and come back out and they'll
put that. Obviously they have the field goal. But Norvella
is over on the other side freaking out because I mean,

(08:40):
if you don't know the rules you should use There
should be a penalty for not knowing the rules and
they just reset the game clock. The head of one
of those Hey, game clock put it back up, no problem.
So is there an issue with Virginia and their head
coach and understanding overtime rules?

Speaker 3 (08:53):
Will Yeah, he should have been losing his mind. It
should have been a penalty. It should have been something
I don't know what, like the rule book says. But
also I do want to give a shout out and
hats off to the ACC Conference for allowing people to
listen into the reviews. That's one thing I got to
enjoy while I'm sitting there on Friday, where you're like
in the war room. You're in the headset with the
referees breaking down, like when they're reviewing calls and they're

(09:14):
all like making sure, all right, are we all aligned
that this is what we see everybody? Yep, yep, yep,
all right. Then they go out there and make the
call and everything else. That was cool. I would love
to see that with every conference.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Another shout out to the AEC. I don't know how
good the conference actually is compared to other conference play,
but it might be the most open conference in college
football right now.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Dude, I think they're all pretty open. Like Big Ten.
You got Ohio State and Oregon, like, you know, until
something happens there.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
What I mean, Michigan beat Hot State four years in
a row, and we got a very favorable schedule up until.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Okay, Ohio State, Michigan and Oregon at the top of
the Big Ten. But I feel like every conference is
pretty wide open, even the Big twelve. Dude, Big twelve
acc SEC like teams are beatable. Man. We got a
huge one coming up this weekend with Andy and Gay
and Alabama. Yeah. Man, like the way Bama and hats
off to this staff, Like we talked about the Bama

(10:07):
game for a second, Bama Georgia, but hats off to
that staff. It's like, you know, we're sitting there watching
the game. Number one, by the way, I know Hubbard
had the effort plays number eighteen. That backer for Bama.
That's a good ball player. That's a great ballplayer. But
what I loved about Bama is when something would happen,
the coaches like kind of like running onto the field
telling their guys, fuck that, forget about that play, Like

(10:29):
a double move that eight or number one for Georgia
hit and Georgia ends up scoring coaches immediately running on
the field come back here like and decordinator head coach
are saying, that's on us, that's on us, that's on me.
You love to see that rally and effort you could
tell as a full team effort coming into Georgia, like
we're gonna win this game. We're gonna get hitting them
out a couple times. There's gonna be a couple moments
of adversity. The coaching staff. The way that they've bounced

(10:51):
back since Week one, I think it speaks volumes for
that for that football team, because Bama's fucking tough. They're
back in the fold. Everybody thought they were dead, myself
included massive red flag. They're one and five in the
last their last six true road games. Can they actually
go in and beat the Georgia Bulldogs. They controlled the clock,
they kind of did what they needed to do to
win that game. And I just I feel like watching
the staff too, Like in any bad moment, the boar

(11:14):
and the whole staff is out there on the field,
come back to the sideline just minimizing any damage possible,
not standing in there and be like, fow it.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Truly was next play? Yeah, that one's done next play.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's really cool too that. I mean,
it just shows how much of Joe's we all are
at this point because we get after week one, after
Florida State, and we sit there and we're like, you know,
we talked. There's boosters talking about kids are out till
two am getting uber eats, maybe girls are ripping around
those types of things. It seems like they gave them
a little bit of a leash and they've taken a
mile as opposed to the Nick saban era, where like
anything you messed up on you were croptique for endlessly.

(11:47):
And so we sat there after week one, you're in
the shitter. We're thinking to ourselves, the Crimson Tide has
probably are probably dead fast forward four weeks essentially a
month later, we're like, my god, they they are, they
could probably they're probably the front round of the SEC
besides Vanderbilt.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
It was just crazy because which is crazy, but.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Yeah, I mean, Commissioner said it on locker room this Wednesday.
Maybe that loss early helps you figure out your weak points.
The course correct course correction. You know, we locked in,
we had to give Tie his time to throw. We did,
and penalties were a minimum.

Speaker 3 (12:25):
So Bama's dead. They're probably the front run of the
SEC right now.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
It's like loved over at But also, I mean you said,
can happen for four weeks? Yeah, but like Clump just said, Oklahoma,
like Matier, he's got handsurgeror he's out three to four
to six weeks, l s U.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Let's see the team rally, like Oklahoma still undefeated, Missouri Missouri.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Alabama just went in to Georgia, who had the longest
home win streak in college football, and put on and
we're never down in the entire game. That's that's impressed.
Where you go, Yeah, I mean that seems like the
team to beat now in the SEC. Obviously, Well we
can get another month, right, another month goes by, another
overreaction happens. If I'm gonna overreact on today, after I
overreacted on Alabama a month ago, I'm sitting there going, yeah,

(13:11):
that's that's the top team in the SEC right now,
fair point, fair point.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
The best team in the country.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
But yeah, over if we're gonna react, Virginia might be
the greatest team in the country.

Speaker 4 (13:22):
That might be the hardest stadium to play in.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah maybe maybe, uh gee, while we still have you
on the mic? You do have a big game come
up this week? Vanderbilt.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
Kate McConnell hate week number two.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, Cay McConnell hate week. He's he's one tozer and
hate weeks. The bustle with the boys. He is, uh,
diego Pavia four hundred yards kind of for six touchdowns?
How are we feeling?

Speaker 5 (13:44):
Obviously, this one's gonna be personal. I I feel like
it's gonna be one of those You let them do
what they're gonna do on the offensive side, and we
do what we did against Georgia. As long as we
take care of business when we have the ball, it
should be it should be business as usually.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Bro, you guys, Bama two. Just third down you guys, yeah, yeah,
weeks past.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah, and so that's gonna be.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
That was the tell last year against Vandy, is they
converted on third down, kept us on the field.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
We gotta flip the script.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Yeah, Ty Simpson, I mean you have to give him
a lot of credit. Will brought this up quite a bit.
The fundamentals, keeps.

Speaker 3 (14:22):
The ball, give.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
That's where you want it.

Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah, that's his feet well, poise in the pocket, keeps
the ball up here. Yeah, and delivers a strike.

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Hey he has will get pulled, but he doesn't have
that lapse of like that long release.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Great fund keeps it forward, great moving forward. Gotta love
that good ballplayer.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
I text kid when the game day thing got announced.
I was like, bro, game day, that's so sick. He
was like, yeah, if you make it down there and
make sure you stay the whole time. We tend to
clear him out these days, you know, you.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Know, animal confident man, and as they should be. They
are undefeated. They've been putting up a shipload of points.
The team to beat the Yeah, where is Pavia? Where's
Pavi in the heisman on a fandel right now? Do
we know? Because again four hundred yards, six touchdowns? I
mean some I got the next. Uh.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
They got a good stretch of games coming up though. Yeah,
good thing they host eight.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Right now. Not just zoom in on it, scroll scroll up.
Who's at the top.

Speaker 1 (15:36):
It's amazing, what a bible we will do?

Speaker 3 (15:38):
Dante More Oregon have to hit a good game out
there in a happy valley, Die Simpson.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
I a crazy, crazy Bama staff that I think Josh
Pate shared. That was the first game of the klend
bor era. Where they had less penalties than the other team.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Which is good for them really turning it around. Yeah,
need it this week because the crimas time, they are
gonna be fired up. They're don't want that revenge. Sometimes
it doesn't go your way a little, but you start
get a little pushy, little schovy.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
So I'm glad it's at home. I'll say that.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yeah, would you be more you'd be more nervous Vanderbilt
selling them out? Now they're selling out that stadium now
might be under construction.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
You walk around Saturday mornings, bro, people repping the Vandy gear.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, yeah, that is true.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
You know, the one day of the week that there'd
be no traffic in Nashville's all like on the weekends
on Saturday, maybe at the first part of Sunday. Yeah,
and now it's it's busy the bandy football around here. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (16:39):
The last time Vandy was five and oh was I
think two thousand and eight and they finished the year
seven and five. So that's what they're that's the history
they're trying to correct right now.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah. God what coach Lee Man, he's good. He's a
great coach.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Lane Kiffin got got it done. He beat a shoe,
but he did not cover. If you're all missed, you
take that as a loss, will Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Think if you're all miss He kind of has to
take the accountability at some point. He told the world
take the over, right, so he has to take some accountability.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
He was on the show Lot's me in the face
instead of LSU's offensive frauds. You were right about that.
He said, I'm taking the over because Lane kip and
took it. So I took it.

Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, and here we go. Once he tweeted the reply
take the over, it's like, okay, like, don't even think it,
don't overthink this game. I don't even think about it.
Just take the over. Yeah. So he let a lot
of people down. He did, and his word supposed to
be And again LSU's been on the on the fraud
list for your boy.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
It seems like it started to finally come together. Wait,
Weeks got a little nervous, started throwing up right in
front of his future father in law.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Yeah, I saw that. He just started puking started.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
It looks like he tried to catch a mouthpiece of
something that got a handful of his own vomit.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
It's like, Buddy, let that hit the ground.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
You're gonna put that mouthpiece back in your mouth.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
When you know, you know that his hand just smells
like shit now because of all the throw up that
he just got all over.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, I mean pre game meal, pregame meal is tough
to settle on game day.

Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yeah, Lane probably had him over not before.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, classic wedding crashers, move ey droppers in the glass.
Everyone sat down for prayer. Lane looked over. You should
we bower a head in prayer? Got his ass.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
That was big.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Have you all seen or like been watching their quarterback?
Ole Miss Trinidad Chambliss stut D two national. He was
a D two player, had no offers, went to Fair
State D two national champion, transferred to an SEC school
and is now like top three in the heightsman voting,
like rush for three hundred or three for three hundred
yards and rush for one hundred. I think damn in
like back to back games, like he's a stud.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
And he was a backup at the start of the season. Yeah,
starter gets hurt. He's been in there. I don't know
if this is true up as a starter like healthy.
Now they're just like, hey, this is our guy.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah, I think Josh was saying on the locker room
that like you have if you have two quarterbacks, you
have none, but like for old miss, like, no, you
have two quarterbackskets. Both guys are studs.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
Studs.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
I think the other guys like Austin Simmons, he's a
lefty and like can yeah he can run and can
he can fucking zip it? Lefty man?

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Sure him had a great stat earlier about how college
football is pretty much won in the portal now and
then them saying that about what was the stat.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
Prior to this week the top seven ranked portals leading
into the season where it combined twenty seven and oh
going into this week, no way twenty.

Speaker 6 (19:33):
Seven portal classes or twenty seven and no one in
the portal chick it out?

Speaker 3 (19:44):
God?

Speaker 1 (19:46):
Do we want to talk about A and M Auburn?

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Yeah, dude, A and M's undefeated since what twenty sixteen?
First time I started fours? A four five? And what
week are we on?

Speaker 1 (19:56):
This is going to be the fifth week of the season? Correct?
We five? Week five of college football? Week five? Yeah,
it's it's impressive.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Yeah, the A and M in the SEC, right.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah, possibly possibly the team to beat?

Speaker 3 (20:12):
Well said, yeah, is Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Is he on hot hot se alert, Hugh Freeze.

Speaker 9 (20:18):
They've looked good against these good opponents. It's the only
crazy thing. I mean, they damn near beat Oklahoma. If
it was losses or to top five teams.

Speaker 6 (20:28):
They got to keep their receiver. They have arguably like
the best receiver in the SEC.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
There's rumors about him going to Michigan. Yeah, I've heard that.
You have you heard that shirt. There's a lot of
chatter around. There's a lot of Alabama guys as well.
They see Justice has up. They're like, maybe I should
get the fuck out of here. I'm just reporting the news.
I'm just reporting the news. Don't give me that look.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
Gi A and m does look good though.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I was doing that stream bro, I was just in
there like I'll take that guy.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
Can you break that guy? Sure? Can you bring up
the conferences right now? SEC? Because again, another sneaky game
was Tennessee going into ot against Mississippi State. We get
to watch the end of that game with Old Jack
and chits cooking.

Speaker 10 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean, scary game and the Tennessee just came
out flat, had the muffed fumble off the punt, but
they stayed in it defense played really strong. Chris brazsl
and Joey Football are some of the best duo quarterback
receiver in the country. Joey Aguyar is currently leading the

(21:33):
SEC in total yards and passing yards and touchdowns. Chris
Brasl is leading the country and receiving touchdowns and second
receiving yards. He's very much in the running for the
Belinda coff which is promising. But yeah, when you go
down to Starkville on rank Misissippi State their best win
of the season's ASU, which they were what like twenty
four or something when they beat him twenty if you

(21:57):
don't feel pop positive, you don't feel as good as
you want to coming on an SEC road game. But
still like the SEC is the SEC, just like the
Big Big ten's the Big ten, and like a road
win is big, especially in a loud environment like Starkville.
So yeah, I think I think they are good. I
think they don't get enough credit and the A P

(22:19):
Pole definitely won't give Tennessee enough credit for that. We
have not moved in the rankings in three straight weeks.

Speaker 3 (22:24):
The people is it's just I feel like it's louder
and louder than it's just a front.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, there's there's been more. It's been more vocal than
ever on how shitty it is.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah, two more weeks from now.

Speaker 4 (22:35):
To start doing that.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
You need to adopt the Commissioner's poll Josh Pate Commissioner's poll.

Speaker 10 (22:41):
But yeah, scary game, fun game if you're not, you know,
sweating it out. But uh yeah, the win, gotta win.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, you gotta win and you have a lot of
correct which is awesome.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, the people feel.

Speaker 10 (22:56):
Like by the like Arkansas, which is revenge game and
then Bama.

Speaker 1 (22:59):
So, uh is Arkansas to buy as well?

Speaker 10 (23:02):
I'm not sure if they're gonna buy this week.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
We gotta find out about that because Sam Pittman, he
just got fired. Arkansas needs to Arkansas needs something.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
And get rid of him.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Uh no, Patrina Patrino before Sam pitt they're about to.

Speaker 9 (23:23):
I'm already done, so uh fun fact went to high
school with the girl that was on the back of
Petrino's motorcycle.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Did a little fun fact fun fact.

Speaker 9 (23:32):
Wow, shout out Aledo, Texas.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
I I did staying on the eight people. I do
feel like in my heart of hearts, I feel like
people are trolling as these voters. I feel like they're
not being serious, Like it almost reminds me of the
Madden ratings and how they kind of they kind of
jip you on some mad ratings just to get everybody talking.
I feel like that's what the app pole is becoming.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, or these these voters to start watching all the games.

Speaker 5 (23:58):
The bias extreme, like Joe very vocal about some things.

Speaker 10 (24:06):
And he hates Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
With all this art, I feel like the A people
like it's people who, for lack of a better term,
don't know ball. I feel like it's the personalities that
are like talking about the game and like are announcing
the games and who are actually physically watching the games
should be the should be like the A people. It
shouldn't be these like news writers that are.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Plus what the boys should definitely get a couple of votes.

Speaker 11 (24:30):
They're basically admitting that they're not watching these games because
I'm I'm like, obviously, Josh Bate should be the commissioner,
should be like he should vote for the eight. People
like Joel Klad, like those guys who are watching the
games and announcing like Kirk Kurvestreet, like they should be
they should be giving the rankings and stuff because like
they're physically they're doing film study, watching the games, announcing

(24:51):
the games like they know it better than these in.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Love the sport, yes, yeah, love the league.

Speaker 9 (24:59):
This guy has in State at number three after losing
the words.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
It's just a useless pole because it doesn't do anything
for anybody at any point because when the playoffs come around,
like they don't go off the a P pole. It's
really just like a seven week playground pole. Then nobody
takes serious and every single one of them should lose
their jobs.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Yeah, it is, Uh, it is very interesting the ape pole.

Speaker 9 (25:31):
You have three AP voters that all had Penn State
at number three after their game against Oregon. None of
them are alumed.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
I can't wait till the CFP stuff starts coming up, bro,
like the.

Speaker 8 (25:43):
Playoff stuff, bracketology about to be crazy.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Yeah, we're in a great year a college.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Football, Yes, there's no doubt about it. Also, let's give
a run of aplause to Illinois got absolutely smacked versus
Indiana comes in. Everyone was talking about USC. They got
an amazing the quarterbacks, incredible, the running backs. Also, they
had this Lemon kid out here who's like probably a
top ten pick and like, oh, they're going to roll
all over them. And Illinois was able to do anything

(26:11):
they wanted the entire game. They owned the line of scrimmage.
Luke Altmeyer, he was throwing forward, he was running for it,
he was doing everything he possibly needed. The score, I mean,
obviously came down to a last second field goal, but
Brett be Bilima and that and that team looked like
that like Wisconsin and old Brett be Blama Wisconsin team.
So shout out to them. Man, seems like usc might
also be on a fraud alert right now.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Could be, or they could have just traveled to the
Midwest and just got punched in the mouth.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
Maybe hopefully they're playing a pissed off team too.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, yeah, no doubt. You think after a score like
that and watching I went back and watched Illinois Indiana,
and it wasn't like a lot of ball, like a
lot of bounces didn't go their way, Like they just
got the shit kicked out of them for like sixty
whole minutes. So you walk it there and you think
it's over.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, because there was one at the toward the end
of the game where Illinois's going in a score they
fumbled the ball in the end zone. USC gets in
that kind of you know, it's USC's alive. They could
still win this football game. And then even uh, you know,
in the middle eight the last four of the first half,
first four to the second half, like, uh, Illinois I
think was in position to go uh twenty one ten
going in a half time in getting the ball, but

(27:15):
a turnover happened or I forget exactly what happened to
our USC then goes down gets in the end zone
to make it closer than it was. Like again, Illinois
was if you're if you're watching that game from start
to finish, like Illinois was clearly the better football team
on that day. On that day, the ALLIONI came out swinging.

Speaker 5 (27:32):
Do we uh before we go to NFL, do we
feel like the Notre Dame fighting Irish might be back
on track?

Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh yeah, And they had to win out and they
also have to have the rest of like the other
teams they play work for them a little bit, right
because you lose those two games to Miami and Texas
A and M The text A and m game is
so tough because they probably should have won that game.
That last second play there was a holding that didn't
get called. Yeah, but maj Carr, Yeah, it seems like

(28:00):
he's doing it, Jeremiah, Jeremiah Love, like he's like, what
four touchdowns, one hundred fifty eight yards rushing. That was
my heisman, pick. I thought it was dead last week.
Here we are this week. I feel like I'm in
a good spot every week, every Yeah, Jeremiah Love. Heisman
got to beat spook when football starts and we are
here boys, God for fucking here. Which, by the way,

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Thank you, simply say thank.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
You, Simply Safe.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
All right?

Speaker 1 (34:22):
You read all the ads really onward onward.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
Yes, thank you Steelers for showing up over in what
was it on Ireland.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
On the other side, on the non America side. On
the non America side, y'all showed up for the first
time all year. Ran the ball for more than seventy
five yards. Interesting. How a run game can get it done?
Huh interesting?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yeah, I was gonna say shout out Kenneth gamebo man.
He had ninety nine yards two touchdowns on the ground.
They had a run game. DK Metcalf came alive. You
saw some Victit's Aaron Rodgers ripping a slant over in
the middle of the DK Metcalf as he runs away
from the entire defense. Defense showed up a little bit,
causing a couple picks up pick balls.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yeah, a lot of conversation around DK Metcalf. Somebody on
this bus said that DKA wasn't getting a lot of separation.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Yes, myself.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Wow, And they run the ball and look what happens
ends up being separation because the run made with the
pass helps a lot of ways. That's what Arthur Smith
wants to do. By the way, let's give a quick
shout to Arthur Smith. The man looks incredible with that
mustache running the all black. Did you guys see him?
He's looking like a seasoned vet right now. He is
definitely in his Russ Grim era right now. Just pull
for poys Aaron Rodgers. A lot of question marks around

(35:32):
him as he too old? Is he looking at the rush?
The guy crushed it all day long.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
You see that block he had no yes, bro.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
No, I didn't let that boy up.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Let that boy up.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Huh put his body in there.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
It was nice.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
What was he?

Speaker 3 (35:44):
Forty two?

Speaker 1 (35:45):
Is two years old?

Speaker 10 (35:47):
Outside of the game, you'll see the story about Skylar
Thompson the Steelers back up on Friday night and jumped. Yeah,
so what are you doing one?

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Going out?

Speaker 10 (35:57):
I guess by yourself.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
And in Dublin, Ireland, Yeah, secure bunch of miny McGregor's
walking around there. Ever since Connor got the double Bell,
Island's got a little cocky with their fighting skills. Tough
look Toughlok got the dub Yeah, tough look uh thing.
You gotta love the Caucasians. Let's give the.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
Hard launch of the Creed team Caucasians out in New York.
Nobody thought they could do it. Nobody, no one, not
even us thought it was It's like Jackson Dart, he
could he could bring some juice, but the dude is
an absolute maniac. Did you see him that third down
running ahead? Beautiful running through a motherfucker and then not
only that, think he just throwing basically a fist at

(36:42):
the dB. I loved every second of it.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I love it to me. That play style of four
quarterback not very sustainable in the NFL. Throw your body
around like.

Speaker 10 (36:51):
That, but it started off.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Yes, look, going into this game, it was, hey, what
do the Giants need from Jackson Dart? In the whole
thing was show life, show a spark. You take Jackson Dart,
mix them up with camp scataboo, and boys, you've got juice,
you've got creatine, you got Caucasians, you got energy in
that build up.

Speaker 3 (37:11):
Oh yeah, I saw a comment to people. I was
having a nice little giggle at where it's like a
camp scatabo sounds like he didn't know how to tie
his shoes until he's in seventh grade. That's how he
loves his running back. I thought I got a nice
chuckle out of that.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Do the thing that and also like that defense went
off that defensive line. I mean Thibodeau, Brian Brian Burns,
Brian Burns, like Dexter, Lawrence had himself a pick like
Sexy Dexy kind of got after a little bit. It's
awesome for the Giants to see a little bit of life.
They get themselves another w and they have to go
to the Saints next week, which is you have to

(37:44):
assume the Giants are probably gonna win that game. The
only team that's probably worse than the Saints is are
beloved Titans right now. But if you're the Chargers, you
are you're in a really tough spot because you have
a good ball club. But you lose with Sean Slater
during camp to a broken leg. Joe all goes down
with them, assuming some sort of ankle. Hopefully it's not
a high ankle, but like you gotta assume he's gonna

(38:05):
miss a couple of weeks there. And then who is
Buddy who played for the Eagles last year won it
was drafted by the Jets, went to Louisville Makai Beckton.
He gets hurt as well, So now you have a
second and third string tackle playing as your bookends. I mean,
Herbert was running for his life. He got hit fourteen
times in this game. That is not a sustainable move

(38:26):
for even like a guy with Jim Harble, Like their
defense is gonna be really good, but you got your
tackles like that, some stud tackles and Chiefs look fantastic.
Yeah they're good again.

Speaker 2 (38:37):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:38):
It's like as much as things change, they also stay
the same.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
And the Chiefs they might be good again.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Buddy, they're good again.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Listen the Ravens there. You know, they got some shit
to figure out.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
They got some shit to figure out. They do, they
really do. But I think the Chiefs are good again.
Might And if we can't protect Herbert top five quarterback, we're.

Speaker 3 (39:01):
Yeah, Broncos. They still got to play tonight. I love
the Broncos in this spot right here against the Bengals,
So we'll see, ye see.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
Hit a weird week, though It's been a weird week.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
Dude, any given Sunday. I mean, you look at the
Packers Cowboys last night overtime and then a tie.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Which everybody was saying that we were on ESPN and
everyone's like they're gonna get boat race. We're saying it's
gonna be a blood back.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
Everybody in the world was saying that the Packers are
gonna boat race the Cowboys. Yeah, we might have overreacted,
not might have we overreacted on how good the Packers
can be, because they clearly got some holes right now.
I mean Dak Prescott, he is absolutely him. Yeah, you know,
them just operating that way offensively without ceedee Lamb Pickens
out there just being a dog. Yeah, but Dak looked amazing.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
Turpin was out there going off like they Their run
game was incredible. The game plan they had for Micah Parsons,
you need to copy and paste that. Who if I
don't know who the Packer's playing next, but whoever's playing
the Packers next, you need to copy and paste that game.
But running away from Parsons hitting with the sift when
you had to throw the ball, you're going away a
little bit. You're chipping or sliding towards him. I mean,
the guy had very little success during the game. He

(40:05):
ends up getting a sack that would have been a
go ahead touchdown. And it's kind of like, yeah, I
think we overreacted on the Packers a little bit after
Week one and it's like you look at the NFC
North and it's like, oh, the Lions. I mean, they
they're just killing everybody right now, and it's.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Like they just need They showed you that week one
didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yeah, they showed you. And it's like, give credit to
Ibra Flus a little bit. They still got a forty
burger put on them, but like, still sucks. However, you
see the effort and then disguising a couple of blitzes
here and there, they mixed in a little bit more
man like. They tried. They still suck. They're not very good,
but you got to give a little credit than just
doing the same thing over and over and over again.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
They're not giving up.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
They're still they're not giving up because they were they
were they were flying around and I mean Jordan Love
still diced him up a little bit, but it wasn't
as as easy as it had seen in the last
couple of weeks.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Jordan Love had one hundred and seventy five yards in
the first half.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Like I said, it wasn't as easy as we thought
it was going to be. And Dak Prescott like that
had to be one of Dak Prescott's best games of
his life. I don't know, I don't care about what
the stats are if the stats are just he's a
fucking baller. But you're down, Ceede Lamb, You're down Tyler Booker,
You're missing a lot.

Speaker 8 (41:20):
Of dollars, another offensive lineman.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
It's like he just still went out there and did
his thing.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
I think Dak has had those games before though, yeah
he has, like it was one of his best ones.
But I feel like he just gets so much unnecessary
hate and every single year he brings it.

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Yeah, yeah, this is one of the better ones. Because again,
coming in this game and you come up with a very
bad loss to the Browns, you knew the Packers are going,
We're gonna be pissed off. Homecoming from Michael Parsons is like,
there's just there's no way that the Packers are going
to lose this game. And for him to put up
forty in him before the way he did, absolutely and
too it's like people want to know who won the

(41:59):
trade when you say everybody won the trade, like all
Jerry Jones needed, Like you saw the life of both
teams after that tie was over, you know, there cowboys
kind of you know a few more smiles, like to
them that that tie was a dub for the right
Packers It's like they're sitting there fucking god damn. I
kid and and and Micah. He he had that one sack,

(42:20):
but it was kind of like a chase tackle on Dak.
But for that to happen had to go down that way.
You know. Jerry's like, I think he even said after
the game, it's like he made a comment on paying
Dak over Micah. You see tonight U Dak Prescott, He's
indispensable Micah not so not so much. Did He was
something like that. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like that.

(42:42):
You see the promo before the game that they rolled.

Speaker 6 (42:45):
Like the thing with Jerry Jones, He's like, you know,
I want the best for Micah. He's a great guy,
Like we have a great relationship. It's like a one
on one interview. Then it cuts to cuts to Michael Parson.
He goes, I didn't even get a text from Jerry
Jones when I got traded. I was like, dang, this
is some freaking WWE story.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Yeah, yeah, how do we feel about ties?

Speaker 3 (43:06):
About who ties in the NFL?

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Get him out of here? Yeah, I have to take
a long walk off the short pier.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
I see a shitload like I want to see that
game be like sixty five sixty two. Yeah, like score
until you can't anymore. Let's get to college football rules.

Speaker 1 (43:21):
College football rules, or just start them at the fifty, like, hey,
the red zones a little too easy. It's gonna skew
a bunch of stats. And everyone's so good in the NFL, Like, okay,
start them with the fifty, so you know you're, for
the most part gonna walk away with points, specially when
these kickers are kicking it nowadays.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Yeah, they're making those right, it's like a sixty something.

Speaker 1 (43:37):
And make it. Yeah, make it college rules after that, ye, Like,
put them on the fifty. You score three k touchdown,
wins it, three gets in another overtime, shut the clock off, start.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
Going for two?

Speaker 1 (43:46):
Right?

Speaker 8 (43:46):
Is tying the most embarrassing result?

Speaker 2 (43:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (43:50):
Not if you're the Cowboys. I think that is the
best result you could have asked for.

Speaker 3 (43:55):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
I mean, they could have obviously won that game, but
no one ever thought the Cowboys were even going to
stand a chance, especially when it's you know, they score touchdown,
the end up blocking a kick and getting two points
off of it. But at some point, like the first
half were like, Oh, they're about to run away with it.
We were all right, here we go. And if you're
the Cowboys getting that tie, it's like they gotta feel good.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Yeah, a tie is just a weird headspace. It's like
you didn't lose, you didn't win, you know what, you
don't know how, Yeah, you don't know how to feel.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
We go back to our last tier talk.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
You had sure a.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
Waste of a game. You just did all of that effort,
You had all of those hits put on you for what.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Yeah, my brain doesn't work well enough to understand how
ties affect standings and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (44:36):
It's I think it's so dumb.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
It's dumb.

Speaker 1 (44:38):
We got to move on. Put them on the fifty
college rules.

Speaker 3 (44:41):
This one's from Kyle Green KG zero seven to zero
hashtag tier talk. If Jerry gets a deal done with Micah,
it's arguable the Cowboys are four and four to oh
team to start this early NFL season.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
That's false, Kyle, That is very false, Kyle. That defense
is so bad. I know Mike is a stud, but.

Speaker 3 (44:59):
One yeah, one pass rusher is not gonna Yeah you're
not four Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (45:07):
You saw Schottenheimer the way he was able to game
plan Micah like, teams can't do that. You can get
one guy and say all right, we're done with him.
Look at the Raiders. I mean, name another guy on
the Raiders defense besides Max Crosby. Max Crosby is a
was a man on a mission the first half of
the game. Yes, I mean Max is incredible, incredible. I

(45:27):
think we're getting to a point with the Raiders like, hey,
can we not waste this man's talent. We need to
get him one. We gotta get him one because there's
too many picks, too many fumbles, so much on the
off side of the ball. Shout out Ashton Genty.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Shout out as Genty, coming out party, coming out party, touchdowns.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Yeah, the old stand.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I was gonna say summer saying he's back to his stance,
and now he's he's back to Genty.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
If he just stood back there and got him.

Speaker 1 (45:56):
Bowed out, the would be hilarious.

Speaker 3 (45:58):
We got a tiar talk on ties from El Guapo

There were another honorable mentioned Washington Redskins and Cincinnati Bengals

Speaker 1 (46:38):
Well, luckily never had to be a part of a tie.
Gene Daniels at Geen Daniels twenty four can tell the

football is almost back. I agree, Gene, and luckily.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Lookly for you vlog. That'd be a funny vlog.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Busting with the Boys. Just gave fifty thousand dollars to
Michigan's NIL fund, so we've contributed.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Trip to Vegas is for the NIL collective of Michigan.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Shout out Jean, But yeah, man, I think the Cowboys
need to be happy about that result. That's awesome. If
you're the Packers, everything was in your favor. You're playing
the worst defense in the NFL. You just lost, had
a bad loss against a bad Browns team, and it's
like everyone's pissed off. Everyone wants to show you have
and you still tie.

Speaker 3 (47:30):
That's tough, man, Hey, Jackie boy, Titans man. Nothing.

Speaker 10 (47:38):
Yeah, there's no before.

Speaker 1 (47:39):
Before before you say anying about Titans, I want to
point out the Patriots. Mike Rabel's Patriots won forty two
to thirteen against the Panthers. Okay, Titans, so.

Speaker 10 (47:50):
No prepared statement. The Titans are miserable. This is probably
the worst franchise we've ever had in the history of
the Titans organization. Camwart said it best keep it a buck,
whereas they got a fire Callahan, he's right now. This
will come out at two, so thirty minutes prior to
this at one thirty. Callahan has a schedule press conference.

Speaker 3 (48:10):
As he does every week.

Speaker 10 (48:12):
I don't even think they're gonna fire him, which is crazy.
But yeah, we're just at the point where yesterday might
have been one of the worst NFL games in the
history of the league. I mean, until the third quarter,
neither the Houston Texans or the Tennessee Titans got to
the red zone. Obviously, Houston turned it on the fourth
quarter but it's just embarrassing. It's not fun to watch.

(48:37):
After you finished Titans games at noon, ninety percent of
your soul doesn't even want to watch another game, But
you still push through because you put a couple bets
in on FanDuel shout out Fandals towards. But yeah, Titans
are miserable, and uh, everyone knows in the league. It's
by far where the thirty two of thirty two teams
in the league. So we'll see. I don't really have my.

Speaker 3 (49:00):
Jan you guys. You just need an imprompt to you
guys versus the Saints, Titans versus Saints, and just see
figure who's getting the one pick? Yeah, what are your
what are your thoughts on the Titans? I mean you
were a cornerstone in this place.

Speaker 1 (49:13):
Yeah, I mean they don't have a competitive team. They
got too many holes everywhere. That doesn't seem like there's
a whole account of a whole lot of accountability other
than the quarterback right now, situationally, they don't handle it
very well. I think you know, you have the two
minute in the first game against the Broncos and it
didn't like go the way Callahan wanted to go. And

(49:33):
so now there's a level of like, I don't know
what to do when I'm on the fifty to forty
five going in and he's second guessing himself quite a bit. Uh,
you got me, Latham's hurt. You got one of your
running backs is hurt. Your veteran wide receiver, you paid
ninety million dollars had some uncharacteristic drops ninety two million.
It's just it's really being a part of teams that

(49:55):
have been in the position of, you know, being one
of the worst teams in the NFL. It's hard man
And do I think Callahan is a long term there's
a long term coach at the Titans.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (50:08):
I don't think he seems very overwhelmed. That franchise in
general seems very overwhelmed. It's the top bottom thing. It
starts with the ownership. That has to essentially if I'm
if I'm the Titans and I'm Amy Adams Strunk and
if everything's going the way it seems like it's going
to go with Callahan where he doesn't have a job
by the end of the year or at the end
of the year. If I'm Amy, I'm not releasing a

(50:31):
lawyer press conference, Hey, we've decided to part ways. Want
to appreciate Callian for everything he's done for this franchise.
I would essentially do a selfie video and say, listen,
I made a mistake. This is my team. I hired
the wrong guy. I would essentially throw Callahan under the
bus and be like, the fans deserve better. Here we go.

(50:51):
If I'm this is strictly if I'm Amy, if she
does a video or just does a video in general,
like if you're as a g as a Titan than Jack,
if you're a Titans fan and Amy doesn't be a
selfhi video, she says there and she's like, I want
to speak to the Titans fans. We've let you down.
Are you guys feeling a whole lot better about your ownership?
Taking accountability?

Speaker 10 (51:10):
I mean maybe one percent better? But day not do that.
She's kind of a coward, and every Titans fan knows
that she probably will not even address She no, this
isn't even a joke, like Damie Adams will not address
the Brian Kylahan firing when it inevitably happens. She will
have someone else do it. And this is how it's
always been, and that's why a lot of people, if

(51:31):
you go online, are saying sell the franchise because the ownership,
like you said, it starts from the top down and
it's miserable. It's like, in the twenty five twenty six
years I've been a Titans fan, this is the worst
organization that has been run operated and being like, I

(51:51):
can't imagine some of these players where it's like you
hear all the outside noise and you just see how
pitiful it is and how you know the lack of
motivation it is to go in today and be like, Hey,
this is gonna be the week we're gonna go and
show the Cardinals what we're gonna do. Come to the live.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
Show or the.

Speaker 1 (52:11):
Well we'll have fun at that. Well, we'll have fun
at that. I'll say this man like wizen Hunt two
and fourteen, three and thirteen wasn't great. It ended up
getting turned around. It ended up getting turned around. So
if you're a Titans fan, there is you you've had
history patches of success where it can turn around and
get better. I do I think Callian's got I really

(52:33):
don't know if I'm him. I need a lot more
guys in my ear who's telling me situationally, what's going on,
so I can focus on it. He gives up play
calling last week and obviously didn't turn out very good.
But you've got you've got a first overall pick that
is showing a lot of potential, and you just truly
from a roster standpoint, you don't you don't have the
horses to get it done right now, you don't, and

(52:56):
so this year's a wash.

Speaker 12 (52:58):
It is what it is.

Speaker 1 (52:59):
Feel good about having the first, you know, a top
three pick in this draft and let's hey, let's get optimistic.
It's not great right now, but it could be.

Speaker 3 (53:09):
We've seen last couple though, like if this year's of washed,
last year as a wash, this year's a wash, right,
I understand.

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Yeah, twenty fourteen was a wash, twenty fifteen was what boom,
twenty sixteen, nine and seven, seventeen nine and seven, eighteen
nine and seven. You know, like you start to get
in the position of being successful. Guys just got to
learn how to win again.

Speaker 3 (53:28):
Man.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
It's hard, it's tough, and when you lose a shitload,
it's kind of like you don't really know what to do.
It's like kind of just kind of becomes you for
a second, and all it takes is one little spark
you get a win. It's like, oh there's a little
bit of confidence, and keep it moving.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
This new stadium opening up, they got to turn it around.

Speaker 1 (53:45):
Quick, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (53:47):
Then.

Speaker 1 (53:47):
I'm not taking away from the amounts of pressure that
it's happening around Nashville and what they need to do
in order to have this twenty twenty seven look a
whole lot better than it's looking right now.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Get John Gruden in here.

Speaker 1 (53:58):
Do you think John Greden would ta the job right now?
You got a lot more holes than that.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
Man.

Speaker 1 (54:07):
It's just tough.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
You know who else sucks through the Saints? The Saints.
The Bills played him over the weekend. I know if
you knew that, I.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Didn't know that until the fourth Yeah, yeah, I mean
that's I think that's Josh Allen's m O at this point.

Speaker 3 (54:23):
I mean, the Saints don't like suck suck, but just
trying to get us, you know, in a different bobs
are getting really low.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
It was more it was more of a therapy session
the red zone.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
Saints were in the red zone a bunch. They just
could never get the touchdown. But it was close up
until like yeah, halfway through the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Yeah, and then Josh Allen kind of took over. He
so running the ball a little bit. Nice man. That's
that I was saying, though, that's Josh Allen's mom o,
Like he's kind of had like an average to slightly
below average defense and he's just been able to put
points on the board no matter what James Coke is
cooking right now, he's doing his thing, like Josh is
the real fucking deal, the real that he's always gonna

(55:03):
they're gonna be contenders as long as he's the.

Speaker 8 (55:05):
Quarterbacks back to back m v P.

Speaker 1 (55:07):
Possibly.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
I want to apologize for the audience bringing this back
to the Tits, but we do have a tiered talk
hash tag tier talk from Slick from Slick Rick six
to six. Uh, do you trade your first round and
second round pick to get an edge rusher or weapon
for the Titans? Jack?

Speaker 10 (55:24):
I don't know, No, No, just defeated.

Speaker 6 (55:33):
We just went over with Michael Parsons, Like, one edge
rusher is not going to change your franchis right right?

Speaker 1 (55:39):
I mean Jeff clown, Jeff looking, he had that one
play he swam over the Senate That was unbelievable. Yeah,
saying fastest sac That was incredible to see.

Speaker 7 (55:50):
If if we're talking optimism, if they do have the
number one pick, they have a quarterback, so maybe they
trade that number one pick add some more pieces.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
Yeah, maybe true optimism, optimism and it hurt clump. Yeah,
spend money. If you're the Titans, man, do you aimy
get your check book out like you want this thing
to go? Well, you gotta spend money and get some
cats and then get some people to put them in
good positions. Noel Belcher at Noel Underscore Belcher hashtag tear

(56:20):
talk a lot of dudes out right now. What are
the worst injuries the boys had while playing ACL it's
been a mainstay.

Speaker 3 (56:31):
Yeah, PCL and breaking well the list, Frank, the list,
Frank that.

Speaker 8 (56:36):
I had the PCL was nothing to you though.

Speaker 3 (56:39):
Yeah, I was out eight days. I was on the
practice field after eight days. Put some some stuff in
the old knee. What was the most painful injury you had?
The foot? By far? I thought somebody took a shotgun
to the top of my arch.

Speaker 8 (56:51):
From this from Barsel Camp or from NFL.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
We're playing the Vikings. We're playing the Vikings. Bro I
remember it happening. I kind of like plant to go
into a block and it just pow, and I like
kind of crawled off on the side, and doc came,
it's broken. The entire art you just snapped in half. Yeah,

(57:16):
I'm retiring. That one was painful, and I had this.
I had this weird cyst on my tailbone that was
pretty brutal from football. From hygiene. The docs are being
there trying to pop and stuff, and oh that she
would be so painful. They'd have to numb it. So
they have to put like whether it's like light of king,
but even the needle like going up underneath to try

(57:37):
and numb it. Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (57:39):
The one that is that one that's like right above
like your butt crack kind.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got them to take you. I
got videos on my phone.

Speaker 2 (57:46):
So like my girlfriends in PA school, that's kind of
you get that from kind of being dirty.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
It's more because I have a lot of hair on
my ass, you know this showering with me, I have
a lot of hair on my ass.

Speaker 2 (57:57):
That's what that's what it is. It's like it's essentially
just and ingrown hair that's just like got infected, just
from kind of being dirty.

Speaker 3 (58:05):
Yeah, what my ass crack is dirty?

Speaker 8 (58:10):
That low back pinch is horrible.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Bro, that's kind of gross. Man.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Yeah, trust me, I didn't want to, yes really Oh yeah,
all the ship that comes out of that thing.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
You have a video for real ship? Yeah, I gotta
see that video.

Speaker 3 (58:27):
Not one that's like where like opens up and everything else,
but one where basically all the trainers were all like
laughing and stuff because it's like another visit I have
to do where they're trying to pop up, like I
need you guys pop this thing just in their ass,
tuned it.

Speaker 8 (58:42):
Up these disguise in the backspass. So you got another
ingrown hair.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
Come.

Speaker 1 (58:47):
Do you want to talk about the Eagles at all?
Your Eagles being undefeated still?

Speaker 4 (58:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:50):
Sure, your boy Jailing Hurts zero completions.

Speaker 7 (58:54):
In the second zero passing yards zero, but also zero
losses in the last calendar year as of day when
Jalen Hurts has started a game and finished it. So
I know we just the Titan stuff was tough as
I'm sitting here thinking that the Eagles, I I have
not watched the Eagles lose a game of football when
Jalen Hurts started and finished in a year.

Speaker 10 (59:12):
It's kind of crazy to think about. So I don't
care about the completions.

Speaker 2 (59:15):
I know A J.

Speaker 3 (59:15):
Brown might. Yeah, it always feels like death taxes, Eagles
being undefeated and AJ Brown cryptic tweet coming out.

Speaker 7 (59:24):
Yeah, I mean he he had nine targets and only
two catches for say, look.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Until the Eagles lose, Like there's no they're they're winners. Bro.
It's like, hats off to Siriana. He's a bona fide
head coach right now. Like I I don't know, Like
there's there's times where I'm like, man, this team is
they don't have a It sound like they move the
ball that well on offense, but then they do it
the right times, like they win. They're four and oh
I have I have no fucking clue. I put out
a thought last night to where it's like they just

(59:49):
seemed like this, uh, this puzzle that you can't figure
out and there's nothing to figure out our dissect until
they lose.

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Yeah. It kind of reminds you of like the Chiefs
last year a little bit, how they just know no
matter what, they just win. It's like, oh, yeah, they
they did this, they did that, it's like really just win, right.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
But the Chiefs, though, there's never like this isn't like
there's never like this this underlying feeling that there's something
there that's going to come out eventually. Like the Chiefs
is like they find ways to win there. They've always
been creative, like they've always figured out. With the Eagles,
I feel like there's just there's something that's there that
just hasn't came to the service yet, and until it does,

(01:00:26):
there's nothing to really say or talking about, right because
like zero completion, zero yards of the second and say
whatever you want about Jalen Hurts, but he's winning. Got
creative with the touch push, Like what two touchdowns on
some fake touch push.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
I think that was first report that was gonna happen
on the locker room. We talked about that this week.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
Yeah, now that you have an.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
Unstoppable play at a at a wrinkle to it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
Shout out Jaha Campbell, Dude, do you guys feel that
same way too?

Speaker 3 (01:00:51):
I feel like that's kind of my feeling like there
is something there, but I just there's really there's nothing
you can say until they lose, because they've again, they
haven't lost in a full calendar year. They're the reigning
Super Bowl champs.

Speaker 2 (01:01:00):
Like the Eagles are gonna eagle and there's really nothing
you can do about it. Yeah, like nobody knows what
that means. I don't even know what it means, but
it's like it's inevitable.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
Great defense. Do you think Sirianni and his coaching staff
and know what that thing into the surface is that
can hit them. That's why you got big.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
Man.

Speaker 10 (01:01:21):
They're just so creative with what they do, Like that
block punt.

Speaker 7 (01:01:24):
I went into the Bucks game, I'm like, oh, it's
gonna be a tight one because Jalen Hurts I think
is one in four versus the Bucks. Nick Sirianni won
and four versus the Bucks and then they block that
punt and return it for a touchdown and it's just like,
oh yeah, never mind. The Eagles like figure it out
somehow every way.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
But Buddy Bakers still had a chance at the end
of the game. I know Baker's great, and he was
under a shipload of pressure and that was that was
a bad throw, But like, can't take away from what
he's done these last four weeks. Man three game winning
drives had an opportunity.

Speaker 12 (01:01:51):
To do it.

Speaker 1 (01:01:51):
In this fourth game they were down what was the
score half they were getting body backed.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
It was it was bad a half, Yeah, yeah it was.

Speaker 1 (01:01:58):
It was more than a two score game, like and
Baker just still came out continued to fight.

Speaker 3 (01:02:03):
Yeah, it's just and going off the chief things. Last
year's like who do they got? Like they got Mahomes.
You don't sit there with the way that kind of
Eagles are squeaking them out. It's not like, oh, it's
like no matter what the trump card of everything is
in Jalen, it's just like you have no clue. It's
just the team.

Speaker 1 (01:02:18):
I mean, Jaalen is very He's a conservative quarterback, takes
care of the football, allows his defense to work from.
Knows he has a good run game, even though the
run game hasn't been as good as it could be.
He knows he's got weapons at the wide receiver spot.
So like, yeah, they're packing the boxing. But at the
same time, like if you are, if you're a defense
scouting them, it's like, yeah, they're Their offensive production through
the year hasn't been great, but they got Goddard, they

(01:02:41):
got aj they got Devonte Is Davante, they got Davonte
Smith like John Doatson, Yeah, John Dontson, Like they have
so many weapons. It's like even if you think, okay,
they're not going to throw the ball on us, they
could at any point. And that's what's scary.

Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
As the Rams last week, some dogs on that defensive side. Yeah,
Rams heavyweight about Rams Colts Stafford late in the game. Yeah,
I mean Colts. The Colts are a good team, Bro,
Colts are a good team.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
But I'll say this kind of saw the loss coming.
Daniel Jones before the season started, didn't even post on Instagram.
After last week posted his first time. No, Daniel can't
do it, man, you can't go and he put out
a post they're three and oh he said something about
like having fun playing football, very innocent if he could
pull that post upwhere But he had nothing the first

(01:03:32):
three weeks and then all of a sudden they go
three and oh was it the first or second drive?

Speaker 3 (01:03:36):
There was a pick? Oh, DJ tough.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Dude, I mean, I mean they won that game.

Speaker 4 (01:03:44):
That run just got called back.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
There it is bro, there's the post.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
And then Stafford threw them the called back then the
end zone just for his life going to dive on it.
Grabs it kind of like an oh my god. Yeah,
he's like, oh my god, did like did I get
on this in time? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:04:04):
I feel like the Colts may have lost that game
rather than the Rams winning it.

Speaker 3 (01:04:08):
That's a fair point. But like again, if you're a
good team, you're gonna take advantage of bad football, right Stafford.
Two touddies in the last four minutes of the game,
like doing Stafford things like you got Davanta, you got Nakula,
Pooka Nakula, you got Kyron Williams, like they again, You's like,
you have to take advantage of bad football.

Speaker 2 (01:04:23):
Also, like two touchdowns taking off the board from a
penalty and a Donna Mitchell, the same guy he had
the holding on the Jonathan Taylor and then fumbling it
in the end zone.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
Yeah, but what will saying is like, Okay, those touchdowns happen.
Who's to say that Stafford and the Boys don't just
return one right away? You know, like at well was
he with old Miscat kind of comes in he plays
like very sparingly. Louisville like very sparingly. Could have gave
up on him a bunch, but the dudes just got
insane elite speed and then he throws an absolute dime

(01:04:52):
like Stafford is the man. Yeah, he is the man.
He's always gonna have the game. Their run game looks good.
Their d line is nasty.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
Amazing right now.

Speaker 7 (01:05:02):
Has five hundred and three yards on the season in
four games.

Speaker 1 (01:05:05):
Dude, that one over the middle that he picked up
like the ball was thrown so low like and he
like just scoops it and rolls it so it's like
not even in question whether he caught the ball or not.
You know why he's good? Big head kids got a
big head. You can always tell success in the size
of a head. Man, all with Mitch Quentin Tarantino. Big
heads just have a way of making itos big head.

(01:05:30):
So something to think about. Maybe you should do that
the combine measure guys heads.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
The fumble before the goal line, it's still just running
through my head. JP, Yeah, why does it keep happening?
I don't see how that's still a thing. There's always something, man.
Do you want to go a little tear talk before
we get the boys out of here?

Speaker 13 (01:05:48):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:05:48):
We have a hashtag tear talk coming from Tyler Hebert.
Hebert t Hebert double zero. If everyone on the bus
was a part of the all White team coaching staff?
What position would everyone have and are they covering plus
twenty three and a half.

Speaker 4 (01:06:08):
So we're the coaching staff.

Speaker 3 (01:06:09):
Yeah, you guys are the coaching staff. What position would
you guys be?

Speaker 8 (01:06:12):
I got the j.

Speaker 2 (01:06:14):
JP special teams.

Speaker 8 (01:06:15):
I got special teams with your permission.

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
Yeah, I'll take that. You have to shave your head,
give me a Bisaccia look, yeah, easy, which I know
they're kind of packers special teams. Hate bringing that up
because I love Bisacia. I know he's ready to just
cut some guys right now, Mitch, I feel like you got.

Speaker 2 (01:06:33):
I would be like wide receivers coach. I don't know
if I don't know if I want to take offensive
coordinator away from Taylor, and I don't know if I'm
ready for that responsibility, but I would definitely be wide
receivers coach.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
I'll tell you what. If we get the ask Madden going, Yeah,
the week before, we would all sit in a room,
we go over plays we like best for our wide receivers,
for our running backs, for a quarterback. We'd be in
a good spot. I would find myself in an OC
offensive line position obviously.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
I spent a lot of time with the offensive line,
figure out their strengths and weaknesses, go call some games.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
Yeah, I'd be like a defensive minded head coach. Yeah,
defensive minded head coach. Could want the title of DC Defense. Oh,
that would have to be myself All White team.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
Yeah, I mean it is Will's baby. To be honest,
I don't want the pressure of being a head coach.
I want to focus on my guys. I want to
get into a room. I want to love him up,
let him make the hard decisions of who to cut,
who to keep.

Speaker 9 (01:07:26):
I was if this is allowed, I would love to
coach up maybe the cheer squad, or be in charge
of a halftime show. Mhm there you Yeah, game entertainment,
if that's okay with you all.

Speaker 1 (01:07:38):
I think in game experience, if you're the head of that,
it's gonna be win loser draw. The fans are gonna
have fun.

Speaker 7 (01:07:45):
I was gonna say I'll be the get back coach,
analytic guy, I'll do that.

Speaker 1 (01:07:48):
Yeah, that would be also Nolan would be good at
that though.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
Ryan, Yeah, he can be analytics.

Speaker 8 (01:07:53):
I'll be the get back coach.

Speaker 1 (01:07:54):
You could be our dom.

Speaker 10 (01:07:55):
I'll just be holding you guys back.

Speaker 1 (01:07:57):
Yeah, a big don not say that to secure, get
you a couple of chains, gold everything.

Speaker 12 (01:08:03):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (01:08:03):
Yeah, you handle business. You on that phone all the
time too. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (01:08:09):
I think I'm gonna take like the successor of a
Mike Keith be our color commentator. Okay, I can get
pretty vocal, you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:16):
Know, all right? I think the DC title would have
to go to Jared Demon.

Speaker 10 (01:08:23):
Covered twenty three and a half.

Speaker 3 (01:08:24):
Then well, no, you let you.

Speaker 1 (01:08:26):
Let will call the place. Let beaming get all the credit.
Then he goes six a head coaching jump somewhere. But
we'll see it here.

Speaker 3 (01:08:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Do we think the spread is actually twenty three and
a half?

Speaker 1 (01:08:35):
Like, is that like we're getting better? Yeah? I think
twenty three and a half's fair.

Speaker 2 (01:08:38):
I feel like it'd be closer to like sixteen seventeen.

Speaker 3 (01:08:42):
Oh buddy, yeah, look we'll see it his disrespect twenty
three and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
Yeah, we're keep it at twenty three and a half
and put the house on it. We're covering responsibly.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
I feel like we're better than twenty three and a half.
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:08:54):
I got a good squad, right, we think so too,
But let Vegas leave it at twenty three and a
half right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
Right or Tyler or Tyler only coaching staff to ever
bet our own games? Yeahah yeah, See how a lot
it takes us to get exile from the league.

Speaker 3 (01:09:10):
What else we got here?

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
But I think we got a couple more tear talks.
We're good, we feel good. Yeah, and we have our
special guest, Dan Lanning came on the shows. Give him
around of applause. Dan Lanning comes in after a big
double ot win over Penn State at Penn State, big time,
Dante Dante, Dante more correct Dante more plus six fifty

Speaker 13 (01:09:58):
That's where we'll start the show. What uh, what was that?
Post g you are juiced up. Yeah, I just about
to you know what it's like after a game. You're
about to cry, You're about to scream. You're just like jacked.

Speaker 12 (01:10:09):
And I probably had like fifty zin's at the time,
you know, and.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Hell yeah, no free shoutouts is in.

Speaker 3 (01:10:16):
Well, you're scrolling the timeline, you see uh you know,
you see the clips of coach a landing. You see
the cocaine clip. You see coach of Lanning just letting
out a primal yell and.

Speaker 13 (01:10:25):
Just ah, like during the whole time he had all
the emotives you got.

Speaker 12 (01:10:31):
We're no different, right, Like, you can't play anymore. This
is the closest you can get to play. And that's
what That's what those moments feel like like. It's like
that's how close you get to touch on it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
You know, dude, you held what was it? You held
Penn State to what six points in the first fifty
minutes of the game. Talk Old Whill's back season. We're
gonna keep going talk to me about the defensive play
to get that the white guy, white boy getting over
in the zone defense to pick that thing off. Like,
take me through that play, call all that stuff, because
I know you're defensive minded, coach, and it was awesome

(01:11:01):
to see me, like everybody at the bus in the
stream on Saturday night was we're all.

Speaker 3 (01:11:06):
Rolling, especially when they had some life there at the
in the second.

Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
The momentum momentum, momentum, and you kind of quieted the
crowd and all of a sudden, we're going over time.
They're they're right in that game. So take me through
that defensive call.

Speaker 12 (01:11:21):
You know, they had some success and we'd hold them
all game, but that we felt like they found something,
they found a place to get extra hats, and we
didn't have a great answer. I smurber flipping over to
defense and saying, hey, look, you guys got to come
up with somebody call others play and and we got like,
what's our Let's look at our roll decks? What do
we have when we not run? And then we have
to have a plan for the score route, which is
the route they ran there at the very very end.

(01:11:42):
So we need something that stops both right, and we
ran a call we hadn't ran all game, but we
had practiced for this game. We had created really for
those two those two plays, and we've been talking about
that route you know all game and hadn't seen it.
And we get out there and they give us a
personnel that we're like, ah, that's that's different then the
personnel group we've ran this against in practice. But all right,

(01:12:03):
let's give it a shot. And I thought Tash the
defensive staff and an unbelievable job is saying like, no,
we went through everything like this is the way that
we can stop both plays, and they ran it and
Dylan makes an unbelievable interception if he wasn't there Aaron
Flowers right there to play clean up. You know, we
had a pressure on the quarter back.

Speaker 3 (01:12:22):
You cut out there at the very end. I think
he's back with this. I see him coming back. He's back,
He's there is I want to ask this question because
as a player, and if you have a really good
head coach, they set a good they set a good
story for how the week's gonna go, for how the
game's gonna go. And there's a philosophy or an analogy
you live by. You were alluding you were alluding to
it in the presser after the game. Death by a

(01:12:44):
thousand cuts, cut after cut after cut, and at the
very end, you're gonna hit him with one last cut,
and it's going to be at the jugular. Was there
a part of you that thought that jugular shot was
when you went up seventeen to three versus n ot
when that interception happened. No, So because you started, you
started giving them that they're going they're done. Yeah.

Speaker 12 (01:13:05):
So like throughout the game, you'll see our players doing it,
like we're all, hey, that's a cut. That's a cut.
And I said, eventually, guys, we're going to hit a
couple arteries and we're gonna hit a couple of juggulars.
And I was telling them that was an artery, like
that's an artery. We got an er, but like it
ain't done, like let's keep chopping. But uh, I didn't.
I didn't know that was going to be something that
went public. I guess. I mean that's I should assume
everything goes public.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
Now, especially to you. The emotion was.

Speaker 12 (01:13:30):
We're gonna we're gonna hit cuts and eventually we're gonna
hit a couple of arteries. And yeah, we hit one there,
but it obviously wasn't enough. Like unbelievable job by Penn State,
Like that team's a really good team. That's a hard
place to play that like driving up that tailgate. I
I haven't really seen much like that. That was really impressive.

Speaker 3 (01:13:48):
What was it like playing at the white Out Night game?
And again, like cats off to you, the staff and
even the players too. You have a young, very talented
team and uh, like a question mark going into it
is there gonna be a lot of firsts for a
lot of these guys traveling across the country and going
into a place like Penn State to play against that team.
Like what was that experience? Like your kids handled it well?

(01:14:11):
Talk us through that.

Speaker 12 (01:14:12):
You always talk about trying to create chaos in practice,
you know, before you get to the game, and that's
hard to replicate. Like, you know, if I could have
shipped in one hundred thousand fans to our practices this week,
I would have. You couldn't do that. I talked to
urban Meyer before and he talked about how there's really
like hot spots in the game. It's gonna be third down,
it's gonna be down when you're down by their student section,
it's gonna be the first play the game, it's gonna

(01:14:32):
be every punt. So we carried around a lot of
these turtle boxes and like, we had our speakers going,
we had our our our sideline speakers going, we had
our stadium speakers going. And then behind every huddle, we
had like fifteen turtle boxes up on our guys and
we're just holding them over and we did it. You know,
certain periods of practice we call this period, you know,
hot spot period. We'd do it on punt, you know.

(01:14:53):
So I was really proud to walk out of the game.
Our offensive line didn't have a single fall start, you know,
like that. That's a great example of the preparation and
paying off. And our guy has handled that really well.
We had two false starts, but it was actually from
our tight ends. So I thought, I thought those guys
handled the moment really really well.

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Yeah, it seems like he has weren't phased at all
by the noise during the game. Now, you had one
running back in particular, and it happens to be that
that Missouri that he's a Missouri running back, Illinois East
Saint Louis. I believe he got the one who got you.
He ends up going off against Orgon. Is it Jay Harris?
Is that who I'm talking about? Is that who the
guy is actually.

Speaker 12 (01:15:26):
Deer Hill had a a but they're both both from
Saint Louis. Jay deer but Hill Deerre went to high
school All Top Catholic, which is in Illinois, but he's
lived in both. He's been a Missouri and been in
Illinois both.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
And Hill's the one that broke off Will confident. Is
that correct?

Speaker 12 (01:15:44):
That's Jay.

Speaker 3 (01:15:44):
Jay broke off well and Jay him.

Speaker 12 (01:15:46):
I mean, when you could pick a player on our team,
they could have broke off Well.

Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
I was gonna say, well, we're watching the stream. Everyone
in the streams like, that's the guy that got Will.
That's the guy that got Will. Would you say, like
Jay's confidence game that twelve yard touchdown? Did that come
from spring when he went into Will Compton nine years.

Speaker 12 (01:16:03):
A lot of our guys after we went against an
NFL player in practice and we were able to give
him the business. I think a lot of our guys
gained a lot of confidence that day. So, I mean
a lot of the credit belongs to Will what he
was able to do for our team in that moment.

Speaker 1 (01:16:15):
Looking for If there's one thing that Will Compton love,
it's taking it. He loves it, man, He loves every
time washing it into the Raiders when he's like it was.
If it wasn't for me, this would have never happened.

Speaker 3 (01:16:26):
Hey, Lane, He'll tell you some Missouri linebackers, man, we
just got a weird chip on our shoulder at all times.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
At all right, you talked about your offensive line a
little bit, and one of your office lineman Harvey, who
I had the opportunity to work out with in the
spring game or spring practice, he has himself a little
personal foul hits him with the old classic guys walking
behind him hit you tap the heel and hits the
other foot and he turns around he's like, hey, he
hit me in the face. Do you yell at him

(01:16:51):
during that game? And then after that kind of watched
the play back and laugh about it, because you guys
got the w.

Speaker 12 (01:16:55):
Why I'm pissed is because I yelled at up two
series before I'm like, hey, man, whistle to whistle right
like he goes, am I doing too much? Like you're
doing too much like a deep breath. And then two
series later he gets that, he's like, damn it, like
I know it, and I know I deserve to get
yelled at right now. No, he played a great game,
like he did really really well all game. But yeah,

(01:17:17):
that was a frustrating one because it's like you saw
it coming as a coach. The motions are so high,
you saw it from the sideline. All right, keep your composure,
keep your composure, and then it happens and it's really
I mean, I think we all you watch that and
you're like, okay, was the flag necessary there? You know,
if you're watching that the whole time, you're like, I don't,
I don't know. But it happens, and that's the kind

(01:17:38):
of thing you can't let somebody else have control of.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
So we have.

Speaker 12 (01:17:41):
That's a great learning moment for for Alex. He played,
like I said, he played a really good game. That's
when I know he wishes he had back, especially considering
he got a warning before it ever happened from from
myself and his offensive line coach.

Speaker 3 (01:17:53):
Uh. Speaking of penalties, can we talk about how confusing
the targeting rule is?

Speaker 2 (01:18:00):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:18:01):
Yeah, because that shot, Like you know, I guess, I
guess by rule. He's not like a defenseless receiver. But
you look at wild I know, dude, I know. It's
like I see people talking about it. I'm thinking to myself,
look at wit weeks a couple of weeks ago LSU, Florida,
and he's just he's just out on the perimeter and
making a hell of a play as a linebacker and
he gets kicked out from the game. It happened in

(01:18:21):
Alabama Georgia as well. But bro, like, what what are
they explaining to you when it's like, bro, if we're
talking about player safety, like this dude just got destroyed
helmet to helmet.

Speaker 12 (01:18:32):
Jay Lamar is a beast man be able to handle that.
But somebody told me I had something to do a hairline,
and I'm you know, I saw a meme afterwards on
Twitter of like a hairline like all the way back
to that, isn't it. I mean, I guess I shouldn't
say anything. I don't know. Uh yeah, I thought it
was targeting.

Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
That's good.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
That's a good job of recomposing yourself.

Speaker 3 (01:18:53):
Just now, yeah, what are they expe Like, what are
the referees? Like? What are officials saying to you in
that moment when you're just like you're like, guys, like,
here here's the replay. We're watching it together.

Speaker 12 (01:19:01):
Like they didn't play it in the stadium obviously, so
they didn't play the real the replay up top, you know,
because everybody in that stadium that would have seen that
replay would have been like, oh, he's done right, Like
if that's not, I don't I don't know what is.
So all they tell you is we're looking at it
up top. We're looking at it up top. So it's
really frustrated as a coach, and you're like, what are
they looking at? What do they see? Because it felt

(01:19:23):
like one that was pretty clear, and uh, I guess
I guess it wasn't. You know, you got to stick
to what the rules are, and the rules obviously say
that was not targeting.

Speaker 1 (01:19:32):
We need Steven A Smith hairline.

Speaker 3 (01:19:34):
Did you happen to catch the That's a good one.
The Florida State Virginia game.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Florida State the storm, the field being stormed.

Speaker 3 (01:19:45):
I'm watching this game and I think with the ACC
they do something really cool where you're like in the
review you're like in the booth of going over reviews
and calls. I would have loved to have heard like
all the back and forth, like you hear all the
back and forth with the awesome talking about I would
have loved to have heard it when this was going
on because it's like, man, what are they even talking about?

Speaker 12 (01:20:02):
Can you think this is how hypothetical and funny? Do
you think they like went to the booth and then
like hey nobody, Hey, nobody's in the booth. What nobody's
up there? What's going on? Like a bathroom break or
something like. I don't know, because that was definitely some
crazy contact there that was wild, but they obviously got
the call right, you know, I guess, I.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Guess, do you Is that something you go to like
this today? You go and whatever, I don't know what referee,
if it was like if it was a Big ten
referee staff or whatever, do you go to the Big
ten and be hey.

Speaker 12 (01:20:33):
We turn in plays every week? Yeah, honestly is really
the best when it comes to feedback on that stode.
So I'm anxious. We we send in plays each week,
like hey, can you just give us your interpretation of this?
You know, do you see this as it is a
proper proper call nonproper call? So we'll get feedback later
on this week on you know, a couple of calls

(01:20:53):
that we sent in just to get you know, evaluated
and get better explanation for for us.

Speaker 1 (01:20:57):
I had a question about the more Obviously he transferred
from UCLA a couple of years ago. He sits behind
Dylan Gabriel. But you've been able to go from bow
Knicks to Dylan Gabriel to now that Dante Moore who's
sitting at what plus six fifty in the Heisman race
right now? Like, how do you get a guy like
that to stay and be like, hey, you need to
be patient with the way the whole transfer portal works now.

(01:21:19):
Like a guy like him, if he's sitting behind I'm
sure he think, thinks to himself, I can go anywhere
else and play right now, Like what are those conversations
look like when you're sitting there in the start of
fall last year and're like just relax, like you're gonna
have your time but not yet.

Speaker 12 (01:21:33):
Yeah, you know, honestly, Dante, like he handled you. You're
what it starts with is to be honest. And I
think what happened for Dante when he left UCLA is
he looked around college football and you realize all these
guys that are getting opportunities to go to the NFL.
Very few of them were freshman sophomore quarterbacks. You know,
the majority of them where like Jayden Daniels was playing

(01:21:54):
in his fifth year, like bow Knicks is playing in
his sixth year, like Michael Pennix, Like these guys have
been and maximizing their career and the key was how
they played when they left. Like so for him, I
think he realized it's not about how fast I play,
It's about how I play when I get on the field,
and had an unbelieving maturity. If I think he felt like, Hey,
this is the place I want to be. I want
to go learn. I see what this offense is doing.

(01:22:15):
I see how they developed guys. That's something I want
to be a part of it. If it means I'm
on the field this year, great. If it means I
get to learn from a veteran even better, And what
he was able to learn from Dylan Gabriel, he'll be
the first one to tell you, like man, that was
an unbelievable experience for him and it made him, you know,
play the way he's playing now.

Speaker 3 (01:22:31):
If I could go back, just on the targeting call,
there's a couple of ideas, there's a couple ideas floating
out there, but I would love to have your opinion.
If you could do anything with that rule, what would
you like to see done differently?

Speaker 12 (01:22:45):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:22:47):
Yeah, he's like they all do a great job up there.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
Yeah, I have an answer.

Speaker 3 (01:22:52):
So there's a there's a cool idea of floating around
that somebody had in my comments section, I want to
say last week. But you kind of treat it like
the end where there's like a flagrant flagrant one flagrant too.
It's like, okay, it might be a fifteen yard penalty,
but to kick a kid out of the game, like
you would have to be pretty egregious to kick him
out of the game to where you see kind of
like a tier one level and a tier two level.
Thoughts on that idea, Coach Lanning, Yeah, sounds great.

Speaker 1 (01:23:17):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:20):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (01:23:20):
Let's talk about to Korey and Moore real quick. Former
five star. You also got another kid, Jordan Davis five star.
How are you getting all these damn five stars? Like
up in the Northwest, Like I've traveled to Oregon. It
takes you know, planes, trains and automobiles just to get
over there, and you're getting these kids five stars from
all over the country.

Speaker 3 (01:23:38):
How do you do it?

Speaker 12 (01:23:38):
Dan?

Speaker 1 (01:23:39):
And what can I tell to Sharon Moore that he
can do.

Speaker 12 (01:23:43):
Best versus most convenient, right, Like you can go to
the most convenient place, and that doesn't mean you're going
to the best. You know, I think we have one
of the best plays. Like our coaching staffs really dynamic,
Our players want to play with great players. And again,
like when you first get here, you talk about a vision, right,
and now you're able to say, like, okay, proofs in
the pudding. Right, look at what these as have done
when they've come here, in the success they've created. And
I think we get a bunch of guys that realize

(01:24:04):
the most you're ever going to grow in your life
is when you go to college and someday, like you
guys experienced it, when the Arizona Cardinals call, guess what
you moved to Arizona, doesn't matter where it's at. When
the Seattle Seahawks call you moved to Seattle, it's the same.
Like you get that same opportunity in college, go pick
the place where you're gonna develop and get to be
the best version of you. And obviously we get to
be we're competitive in getting these guys, but you recruit

(01:24:24):
your tail off, you wake them up, you put them
to bed, right, and text messages and phone calls you
build relationships, and I think that's really paid off for
us here.

Speaker 1 (01:24:32):
Sticking on decoryan more, at what point in the fall
did you realize, Oh, this kid's special.

Speaker 12 (01:24:38):
I think we recognized it in the spring when we
when he first got here in the spring. You know what,
what Decorean has grown up so much from as you know,
he was a perfectionist and everything went so good for him, right,
uh in high school? And now you get somewhere and
you're you're playing some dogs, you're playing some real players too,
And I think what he had to realize is like, hey,
there's gonna be good and there's gonna be bad in

(01:24:59):
every game. Right, how do I respond to that? That's
gonna be the biggest tell about me? And he's responded
really well. I mean you remember early in that game,
he had a slant that came his way, got bottled
and they ended up coming down. It could have easily
turned into an interception, ye, right. And then later on
he has a huge, a huge conversion on fourth and
three where it turned into you know, it wasn't it
didn't go as scripted, right, He's trying to run a route.

(01:25:21):
The guy wires him and he and he turns into
scramble drill DOCTA hits him and stride down the sideline.
Huge conversion for us. But I think he's just been
able to adapt in those moments where like, Okay, if
if Plan A doesn't work, let me go to Plan
B and let me execute it. And he did a
really good job of that in that game.

Speaker 3 (01:25:36):
Uh, Coach Lane, we're talking about some of the best
schools you can go to in the country. Also a
couple of schools that people are talking about the Big
Ten Championship, the Huskers and the Oregon Ducks. Who else
do you see popping off to you out there in
the Big Ten Conference aside from those two schools.

Speaker 12 (01:25:48):
Indiana that's what we play next. Yeah, Indiana, they're playing
really good ball.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Oh dude, I've heard heard. I've heard Signette. He's talking
a lot of shit. I don't know exactly yet.

Speaker 12 (01:25:57):
You're saying I'm sleeping on my tummy.

Speaker 3 (01:25:59):
Yeah, without two hands, without hands closing on the fridge.
Yeah with that ham come on, Yeah, saying oop.

Speaker 1 (01:26:12):
That's for them. Yeah, okay, Yeah, but you brought up
some comments that allegedly, James Franklin just said, do you
do you when you hear that James Franklin may or
may not be saying those things about you, do you
take that personal? Missouri?

Speaker 3 (01:26:24):
Boy.

Speaker 12 (01:26:25):
What's weird about it is like immediately when when those
comments come out, how I get a text message from
Will saying that don't read this. Whatever you do, don't
don't don't look at what was said. And yeah, obviously
I immediately laugh.

Speaker 3 (01:26:39):
Yeah, last week, last week I sent him the clip
and I said, please tell your PR team to not
let you see this clip.

Speaker 12 (01:26:48):
Direct messages to me, and please please make sure they
know you shouldn't watch this clip.

Speaker 1 (01:26:55):
You get your piss hot though, knowing James is talking like.

Speaker 3 (01:26:57):
That, huh man.

Speaker 12 (01:26:58):
He's a great coach, and that the part that is rough,
you know, is you walking. You guys saw it like
I saw it at the end of that game, that
either team could have won that game, right, You're like
this far away from it going either way. And he
has an unbelievable team. He like coaching him really well.
We had some success obviously in the third quarter, and
then the fourth they make this unbelievable comeback and you know,

(01:27:21):
for me. You set your john and you say, hey,
regardless of what happens, our guys, they were just in
a battle. They were in a war, regardless of what happens.
Unbelievable game and somebody comes out on the other end
of that, And you know, I hurt for their locker
room and the work that they put in, because I
promise you they worked really hard to you know, for
that to play out. So I'm grateful that we got
to be on the right end of it when it's
all said and done, But you have to acknowledge how

(01:27:42):
close it really was at the end.

Speaker 3 (01:27:45):
What else do we got.

Speaker 1 (01:27:46):
I'm trying to think of a way to ask a
question about James Franklin being four and twenty versus top
ten teams, but in a respectful way, because you're right,
like they are a great coach team and they have
a lot of talent there. But that is a glaring
stat that kind of just it's in front of us
all when we look at Penn State. Is there like,
is there anything It is a kind of a shitty question,

(01:28:06):
but like, what is not happening on Penn State side
that they might need to fix? Is there something that
is easily fixable there.

Speaker 12 (01:28:14):
I can't speak to that. I can speak to James
Franklin as an unbelievable coach and anybody that can't be
excited about, you know, being a fan of theirs and
excited about the games that he's won and what he's
done for that program. That program is an unbelievable shape.
They've got a really good team and the season's not over.
Like that team's gonna win a lot of ball games.
They're gonna have a lot of success. And you saw
the run they went on last year, like they played

(01:28:36):
longer than we played right last season and we saw
him in the Big Ten championship, but they were able
to go on a great playoff run. They've got a
great team. Again, he does a great job. I think
they've got great coordinators on both sides. They got great players.
Those guys played with great effort. It's just you know,
it's a it's a you know, small, small, small segment
here there that made the difference in that game.

Speaker 1 (01:28:58):
Yeah, it was a shitty question, right sure.

Speaker 3 (01:29:00):
As a head coach, though, like compartmentalizing, how is it
pretty easy to compartmentalize like these shadows that kind of
chase you Whether it's a record versus eight people, or
a record on the roll road or record against like
these rival opponents, Like is that a real thing as
a head coach in your mind? And is it easy
to compartmentalize or is it you know what I mean?

(01:29:20):
Like are you acknowledging those things like with yourself or
with the team or is it? Is it pretty easy
to find an analogy or a philosophy to lean on?
Or what usually goes through a head coach's mind, like
when there are some like glaring things like of a
shadow when you're out of school.

Speaker 12 (01:29:35):
Well, I mean that exists everywhere, and for me, it'll
be until we win the big one, right, That's that's
they'll say the same thing about me. And what I
think you figure out really quick as a head coach
is like who cares? Who cares what anybody else thinks?
Like you can't worry about the opinions of others. What
you got to ask yourself is did I do? Did
I learn every lesson I could have learned in that moment?
Did I get better? Did I grow? Did I make

(01:29:57):
sure our team was still growing?

Speaker 2 (01:29:59):
Right?

Speaker 12 (01:29:59):
In every moment? And then the rest takes care of
yourself it takes It takes some luck to win a game.
It takes some the ball's got to bounce the right way,
like and if you can't acknowledge that, then you you
don't really know football. You haven't been a part of football.
But you can, you know, stack as many advantages as
possible by the way you work, the way you prep,
the way you grow. And like, that's what I was
really excited about after this game. I told our staff yesterday, like, man,

(01:30:21):
unbelievable effort by our players, unbelievable job by you as coaches.
But did you guys, did you guys see this? Like
that's wart, Like we got to get this wart removed
right now, Like, did you guys see this? Like, Okay,
we got to we got to carry more answers for
this in the future. So we were able to learn
some really valuable lessons even in a win. So I
think that's that's just part of it. And then you
stack as many of those lessons as you can, and

(01:30:42):
then you hope you stack enough that it removes the
luck and the advantages that that just happened within a game.

Speaker 1 (01:30:48):
At times, Yeah, there's always amount of criticism that comes
to coaches until they prove people wrong. Like I believe
you got some criticism playing Washington killing the bores Washington
Huskies a few years ago for going for it on
fourth down quite a bit. You walked into this game
and you go for fourth down seven times, you get
five of them. Is that something you I mean, it
was so clear that anytime it was close enough to

(01:31:09):
go for it, you're you're doing it?

Speaker 3 (01:31:11):
Was that?

Speaker 1 (01:31:11):
Was that something you told your kids before in the
pre and pre game, like, hey, if it's if it's
fourth and one or two, we're going forward every single time. Here,
tell the putter, sit down, buddy, we're gonna have a day.

Speaker 12 (01:31:21):
Well, I told her, guys, we're gonna be aggressive in
this game, and we're gonna walk back to the after
the game and say, oh, man, I wish we would
have or and there's limited possessions. We had five possessions
in the first half, they had four. You know, I
think in the second half it was very similar, and
they were gonna get one more, one more than us,
you know, in the in the second half because they
started with the ball in the second half. So we

(01:31:41):
had to be really advantageous, you know, with every possession,
and you know, fourth and one, there's a really high
conversion rate. Fourth and two is still, you know, very high.
It's hard. Like I thought we had them a good
answer for them on their fourth downs and they were
able to convert. They were three for three for fourth down.
So this is a game where you can't just go
back after wards like, hey, we did the right thing,

(01:32:01):
we punted and and uh it didn't work out. Like
we wanted to make sure that we we left it
on the field. And the only way you can score
touchdowns at the end of drives is converting, you know,
on fourth down you can't. You can't kick a field
goal and be in that situation.

Speaker 3 (01:32:15):
What's the uh, what's the thought process and conversation, Like
you're wanting to be a very aggressive team and then
also having that decision whether you're gonna go for two
having the ball second in ot compared to you, hey,
let's just kick the extra point here and then we'll
start going for two whenever over the overtime rules call
for it.

Speaker 12 (01:32:33):
Yeah, I felt like I wanted to leave it on
the field for our players to decide. You know, you
have a feel for any game, like and you could
you could argue, oh, the momentums going Penn State's way.
I think I had a couple of guys come to
me and say, hey, coach, you can go for two
here and finish it.

Speaker 3 (01:32:44):
That's what I was saying too in the stream room.
I was yelling, I need to, I need to.

Speaker 12 (01:32:48):
Yeah, in my mind, it's okay, what's our two point
play plan? And then what do we think we'll see
from them on defense? And then I'm always asking myself, Okay,
what's my percentage chance of we're gonna have success on that?
And if you saw that, like later on we run
our two point play and they stopped, So I bet
you guys then were like, oh, thank god I didn't
go for two.

Speaker 3 (01:33:07):
I was a great call. Great call not going for
the first.

Speaker 12 (01:33:09):
Uh you know, ultimately like they they stop our two
point conversion in the second overtime. But that's what I'm
alway saying about. If I felt like one were scoring
on the two point play, then yeah, maybe you do
it there. But I didn't. I didn't have that feeling.
They were really good defense. They they I didn't know
exactly what we would see from them, you know, in
that moment, so and I felt like, hey, we're gonna

(01:33:30):
make this extra point, but I wanted to leave it
in our players' hands, and I wanted to give our
defensive coaches an opportunity to have an answer. Uh. I
felt like we had good answers on offense and at
that point at the at the at the end of game,
I thought both defenses were struggling to figure it out.
But I wanted to leave it in our players' hands
and say, let's go to the second o t We
knew we were gonna be moving away from their crowd
on the second overtime, like not their crowd. They still
had a big crowd, but we're gonna be moving away

(01:33:52):
from their student section wasn't gonna be quite as loud.
That's the side of the field that I'm much rather
have gone for two on rather than the side with
their with their students, you know, down there. So there
was a lot of factors went into that, but we
pretty quickly knew we were going to kick the extra
point when when that's all you need to tie the
game and go to the second old team.

Speaker 1 (01:34:09):
The amount of awareness so know where the student section
is and all the percentages is pretty impressive. Before we
ask you the butt like question or anything else we'll
have to ask you. I just want to nail down
how big of an environment that is at Penn State,
Like everyone talks about it while we're watching the game.
It's incredible to see like the sky camp showing the
incredible wide out, Like just talk, just give some flowers

(01:34:30):
if you could, the Penn State, the Nitny Lions, and
that fan base for how big time that stadium is.
I can't read that.

Speaker 12 (01:34:35):
And uh, the atmosphere you recognize the minute you drive in.
You know, I think we're rolling in a bunch of buses.
And my wife sent me a picture yesterday. She she's
got all these fans flipping her off, you know on
the bus hell.

Speaker 3 (01:34:47):
Yeah, kicking the bus Like.

Speaker 12 (01:34:49):
You don't know what kind of fuel that is for,
you know, a visiting team. How fun that is to
be a part of. Like as you're going in and
people are banging on your bus and you're driving through
five minutes of r vs and tailgates, it's super impressive.
And uh, they did. They had a great They had
a great job. They were engaged the entire time. It
was a really elite atmosphere. The entire game. One of

(01:35:11):
the better ones I've been in for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:35:13):
What are the plans for the bye week kind of
time off giving the boys, Like, what are you gonna do?
Maybe to check out for a moment of football, kind
of get some sanity and some juice in your system somewhere.
It might be watching Busting with the Boys? Uh yeah,
or are the.

Speaker 12 (01:35:27):
Pug Bens watch and Bust with the Boys? Had dinner
with my family last night. It was awesome at my house.
That was pretty cool. So you know, try to get
our coaches, you know, home at night to where they
can spend some time with their family here. Really Monday
through Wednesday, we'll go out on the road recruiting. Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
I'm gonna try to watch a couple of games, and
then Sunday we're you know, we're right back at it.

(01:35:48):
But uh, our players need the recovery, but we also
need to you know, some growth. We need to learn
those lessons that we had in that game. So we're
gonna really do a hard self scout of ourselves. Evaluate what,
you know, what are some of our tens. See his
great teams have tendencies. Figure out what we need to
uh build off of those tendencies and then evaluate some
of these teams that are coming down the wire for
us in the future with Indiana and some of the

(01:36:08):
guys coming up of what what are the answers that
we need. We'll get some good practices in this week,
so all those things will stack up. The biggest thing
we get to see my kids a little bit. Probably
go to a little league football practice, Yes, sir, at
some point I get to watch my I'm gonna I
think he has a game this week on Tuesday. I
don't normally get to watch my son play little league football,
so I'm hoping Titan balls out this week and uh

(01:36:30):
and get to see him in action.

Speaker 3 (01:36:31):
Titan looks up in the stands and Dan's just giving
the cuts.

Speaker 12 (01:36:34):
He was jack man, he was so he was there.
He came, him and his Two of my sons didn't come,
Kate and that band and Niles. Niles didn't even watch
the game. I got home. He uh, no, I didn't
watch the game, but ca but Niles went on the
or Titan went on the trip with me, so we
ride the bus together. Afterwards. He uh, he was sitting

(01:36:55):
with his mom, you know, in the stands, and he
he wanted to come down the fields, like come down
the field and he had He had a lot of fun. Man,
that's a lot of fun to share as a dad,
that those moments with your kid when they when they
love what you do and you know it makes it
pretty special.

Speaker 1 (01:37:11):
When we were at your spot and during during spring practice,
your son was writing a three part series to the
Minecraft movie because he decided it was not good enough,
it did not check the box for him. Can we
get an update on how that script is going right now?
Because I don't know if he's at twelve or thirteen,
but the level and.

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
He is looking for investors.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
Yeah, because we are Bustingworth the boys is willing to
invest in that child. I mean just seeing the legos,
seeing his setup, how focused he was on it. It's like, dude,
this kid is going to be a fortune five hundred
cat one day.

Speaker 12 (01:37:45):
Yeah. So we talked about last night, like greatest strength
is creativity. Greatest weakness. He doesn't finish. He's pocascitator. So
like that Minecraft, he wrote like three quarters of the
story and I asked him last night He's like, was
that over with it? He's like, I haven't finished it yet.
He started this. Uh he does these uh stop action movies.
He made the most unbelievable stop action movie that stops

(01:38:07):
right in the middle of the movie. I'm like, what
what happens? And what happened to? Yeah, so we got
to work on my man being a finisher too. He's
an unbelievable starter. We got to be able to be
a finished. He's the kind of guy that could start
a company, Like, is he gonna see it through? Like,
if you're gonna make an investment in this guy, we got.

Speaker 8 (01:38:23):
To see it.

Speaker 12 (01:38:23):
Get him to see it through. So this is a
good challenge denials. I'll make sure he sees this clip.

Speaker 3 (01:38:27):
He's a visionary, got to be finishers fish, He's a visionary.
He's got to surround himself with the right people to
get you know, he gets.

Speaker 12 (01:38:35):
Somebody can take it from point C to D. He's
gonna get A and B started. Yeah, sounds like me
writing a paper in college.

Speaker 1 (01:38:42):
He sounds like, Uh, do you have any more questions?
Do you hit with the bud light?

Speaker 10 (01:38:47):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:38:47):
Yeah, I'm excited about this Indiana matchup. I mean, you
got coach of landing all the all the you know,
the hits that coach of landing as you got Signetti coaches,
Signetti's got a lot of good hits out there. This
is this is not only a top ten matchup, but
this is top ten matchup on the mic in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:39:02):
Yeah, absolutely. And you know Signette's a shit talker, he
says in his press coffice is like Google man. Yeah,
I'm sure he's got a lot to say about Dan Lanning. Ah,
he's got a lot to say.

Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
He'll come check it out next week on the Locker Room.

Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
But Dan our bud like question is what is something
in Dan Lanning's life that is easy to enjoy and
something he will never get tired of? What's something you
will never get tired of.

Speaker 12 (01:39:22):
You're talking about like in my life where you're talking
about football specifically.

Speaker 1 (01:39:26):
Isn't it all the same?

Speaker 12 (01:39:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:39:28):
Okay, let's do let's do one one of each then
to call him, make call him be.

Speaker 12 (01:39:33):
I love going on a walk with my kids and
my wife. We live in a like a really cool
neighborhood and like this week we'll get in some night
walks like we like we're just gonna go go go
on a track. I'll put some music in my h
in my pocket, and we'll we'll just kind of talk
about life and that that's something you can never take
away from me. That's one of my favorite things. In
some point, these guys are gonna be eighteen and twenty

(01:39:54):
and they're probably not gonna want to go on walks
with their dad and nomore. But it's it's like, my
favorite thing in the world to do is to say,
let's go hit a night walk. You know, it's a
little dark outside, you probably shouldn't be walking, but nine pm,
we're just strolling around the neighborhood, you know, enjoying it
and catching up with each other.

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
It's funding vision. Like I like my Dan Landing the
way he was post game against Penn State and seeing
that guy try and check out for a walk, a
nice little stroll with his family, right right, That's what
I like the picture. Are you able to like? You know,
he's probably they're probably walking, you know, he's just.

Speaker 1 (01:40:29):
That he said, what about me, I'm bust want too.
I closed the door with my hand, not my hip.
I love it. What about football? Football and something you
will never get tired of the answers right in front
of it. So easy?

Speaker 12 (01:40:44):
Is it winning? Yeah? Whenning whinning you never get tired
of winning. Yeah, you never get tired of winning. But
just being on the turf, being on the grass, for me,
like that's why you sign up for it. Like, I'm
excited about this walk through. We're about to go, do
you know we got one here and just in a
little bit and excited to see these guys learn and
like them kind of have those oh yeah, I see

(01:41:05):
that moments, you know, like you.

Speaker 2 (01:41:06):
See what we see?

Speaker 12 (01:41:07):
All right, let's go attack this like and that growth
when you start to see a show up in games.
It's it's it's fun.

Speaker 1 (01:41:12):
I love it.

Speaker 12 (01:41:13):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:41:13):
Well tell the boys that. Will and Taylor say, hello,
we miss you. We appreciate you. Have a hell of
the rest of the season.

Speaker 12 (01:41:19):
Man, appreciate you guys. And you guys are killing it.

Speaker 3 (01:41:21):
Keep it up, Coach Landy, how are the backers doing?
How'd the backers grade? Now? Like, how are my boys
doing in that in that linebacker room?

Speaker 12 (01:41:28):
They're doing good, man, they're doing good. But they're getting
ball production, Will, which is something you got to be,
you know, really satisfied with. Like how our ball, the
ball is our oxygen. And these guys have been attacking
the ball like crazy. Which is which is fun to see.

Speaker 3 (01:41:41):
I listen, you know, I'm just a I'm just a
Joe now watching film. I'm just watching it live. I
don't know what schematics are going on, but there's one
play where I'm just I'm screaming it. You see the
pulard scrape when they're at like the goal line. It
might not have been his job, but I'm putting it
on too eight any chance I get, because that's my guy.

Speaker 1 (01:41:58):
Yeah, and you.

Speaker 12 (01:41:59):
Know it's back man. Put the team up back and
I know what player're talking about. It wasn't necessarily his
