[SPEAKER_00]: Rain a short hot line.

[SPEAKER_00]: At least you know Michael what's going on.

[SPEAKER_00]: We know you have takes, we have takes.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm back to surprise that you're a rant line, rape line, whatever it is, completely full.

[SPEAKER_03]: What can't we just win a game?

[SPEAKER_03]: Can I blame Michael Cassfield for this?

[SPEAKER_02]: Can I blame Bob Connelly for this?

[SPEAKER_02]: Can I put on a zebra shirt and just go out there?

[SPEAKER_02]: Scratch, claw, up against the wall.

[SPEAKER_05]: Can't explain it while I'm feeling right now, guys.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe it.

[SPEAKER_05]: Let's open up that raised ball.

[SPEAKER_01]: or can't believe U.S.C.

[SPEAKER_01]: is undefeated in the ATC weight.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're in the big tent.

[SPEAKER_01]: What the record?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, no!

[SPEAKER_00]: How about you welcome back to Reader Tour Radio.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the car cast of U.S.E's 1738.

[SPEAKER_00]: No?

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, no, no, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Did that not go well?

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what that was.

[SPEAKER_00]: You don't know that song, isn't it?

[SPEAKER_00]: The 30 Wops?

[SPEAKER_00]: 1738.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like this in the below.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is that what the number is?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't know that.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, that bombed.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, S117, 38, 17, we're gonna talk about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right night, we're in at the Colosseum.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so much more.

[SPEAKER_00]: As always, you can follow us on social media at www.rinter.email.rinter.fanside.com.

[SPEAKER_00]: Phone number 818-643-7227.

[SPEAKER_00]: Second, what's brewing, shall?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this episode brought to you by Power Right Pantside.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, at least, you asked you once.

[SPEAKER_00]: 38-17 we had a watch alone and we spent a big chunk of the second half not talking about the game and I will say I think it's a good sign.

[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm stressful second half.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am so many weird complex feelings about this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, take it away.

[SPEAKER_02]: I, okay, this was an objectively good performance by USC once you factor out the first to Northwestern drives on offense.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jade Myaba was much more on target.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh and he puts in the play of the season by forcing a fumble on his own interception uh to basically bail himself out completely uh King Miller runs for 127 yards kid is just an automatic eight yards every time he touches the ball [SPEAKER_02]: The Kyleman racks up 11 catches 161 yards in a touchdown.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jacobi Lane has what I would argue is his best game.

[SPEAKER_02]: Most impressive game of the season with seven catches 74 yards in a touchdown.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's most reliable game of the season.

[SPEAKER_02]: Seven catches on seven targets, USC puts up 482 yards of offense.

[SPEAKER_02]: They go six of six in the red zone and, you know, put up.

[SPEAKER_02]: 30 eight points.

[SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, the defense responds to to really tough drives by holding Northwestern.

[SPEAKER_02]: to basically nothing for the rest of the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: The second half, they shut down Northwestern completely.

[SPEAKER_02]: They got off the field on third down.

[SPEAKER_02]: They got off the field on fourth down.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was a really strong bounce back second half performance from the defense.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, objectively good.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there's a lot of objectively good things in this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: So why do I feel feelings of just like, okay, okay, I feel like USC hit par today and like that's good good job [SPEAKER_02]: I am, I am my parents viewing me getting an A in class is like a given like, okay, yeah, I expect that from you.

[SPEAKER_02]: What do you want a cookie?

[SPEAKER_02]: I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I am, I [SPEAKER_02]: I am feeling strange.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am feeling unfair to this team in this performance to be quite honest.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you accuse me of being pessimistically, that's fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: If you think I'm joyless, that's fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: I actually had a lot of fun watching the game after those two drives.

[SPEAKER_02]: But the thing is, I can't erase those two drives.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't erase them.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it's, you know, there are, there are universes where, where, you know, I watch Pete Carol teams look terrible in the first half and come out super strong in the second half and like was perfectly comfortable with that outcome.

[SPEAKER_02]: But with this team, I just, I worry.

[SPEAKER_02]: that those first two drives are as much a sign of what USC is as any of the drives that came after.

[SPEAKER_02]: I worry that what we saw from [SPEAKER_02]: from USC's defense in this game was enough cracks to suggest that better offenses will be able to take advantage.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know that, like I said, I think if you accuse me being unfair, I think that's fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'll take it, I just don't feel super satisfied by what we saw tonight.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think that this was a game where North Western's shortcomings had as much to do with anything as as USC's strengths on defense and it just keeps coming back to [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just not passing the I test for me, and I really want the new pass in the I test, but it's just, it's, it's not doing it for me, and I, I think I've been sitting here for several weeks, begging USC to show me any sign that they can go to Oxford and, [SPEAKER_02]: make things interesting.

[SPEAKER_02]: And like, and I'm just going to be honest, I still don't see a U.S.C.

[SPEAKER_02]: team that can make things interesting against Oregon.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I still don't see a U.S.C.

[SPEAKER_02]: team that makes me confident that Iowa won't be a significant issue or a significant problem.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I still don't see a U.S.C.

[SPEAKER_02]: team that I'm confident can be UCLA at the end of the season, you know?

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, which is, you know, I think probably, as I've said multiple times out is unfair because King Miller is running the ball really, really damn well.

[SPEAKER_02]: U.S.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's wide receivers are playing really, really well.

[SPEAKER_02]: The quarterback is clearly capable of running this offense very well.

[SPEAKER_02]: He ran the ball himself.

[SPEAKER_02]: very well, very effectively, it was good to see him do those things and make those plays and feel confident enough to just take off and run in his awkward but effective style.

[SPEAKER_02]: The the offense is clearly capable of putting up points and being competitive.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh, leaving, leaving something to be desired.

[SPEAKER_02]: But that's, that's me probably nitpicking.

[SPEAKER_02]: And like I said, like, I am a hypocrite by being my parents and getting pissed off when, you know, when the team in front of me, like, puts in a B performance, because I think they should be getting A's.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then when they get A's, it's like, yeah, of course.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not gonna, like, go on.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's a mystically, yeah, it's out and full force.

[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, you could talk me out of this, Michael, like I'm happy for somebody to talk me out of it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like I want to make it very clear that like I'm not stuck in this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can be convinced that this was a better performance than I feel like it was if you wanted to.

[SPEAKER_00]: I, I think you are being unfair.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I, I mentioned this on the, on the watch along towards the end of the watch along.

[SPEAKER_00]: We, we, we got breakfast with our, our good pal, Kenny, we see in the chat all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we were talking about like, SEC's road performance and like going up to the Oregon game, like there's, there's not a lot to feel about SEC's chances against Oregon because of the road performance more than anything else.

[SPEAKER_00]: but I made the point of, like, S.C's road performance this year is still not as good as the home performance, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_00]: But without the context of the first two years, we are not talking about the road performance in the same way.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the reason I'm bringing this up right now is because I think the same can be said for this game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of any other context of the PTSD of the Illinois game, [SPEAKER_00]: of the 300 yards that they gave up on the ground against Notre Dame outside of that context.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is no reason to be disappointed about this game at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: S.C.

gained in this game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yard, it's 482 yards.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is more than any other team has gained against Northwestern this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost 100 yards more than Oregon did.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's 175 yards more than Purdue did.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost 200 yards more than Nebraska did.

[SPEAKER_00]: Our offense, SC's game, was it the 2005 offense against Hawaii?

[SPEAKER_00]: No, but like, if this was a B performance on offense, and I think this is a quintessential example of how good this offense actually is.

[SPEAKER_00]: McCoylemon, 11 catches the 161 yards and a touchdown, and yet this was not the greatest McCoylemon game you've ever seen.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he had 11 catch 361 yards.

[SPEAKER_00]: King Miller, 121 yards on the ground, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: This is all about the offense, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: But let's talk about the defense because that defense, the offense is not where my grind is.

[SPEAKER_00]: So let me get into the defense.

[SPEAKER_00]: Northwestern in this game, 280 yards of total offense, 280 yards of total offense.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is less than any performance that they've had against the big 10 team this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had more yards against Oregon, albeit that was mostly backloaded in the fourth quarter.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had 313 against Oregon.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had 282, two more yards against Penn State.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had 364 against Purdue.

[SPEAKER_00]: They had 331 against Nebraska.

[SPEAKER_00]: All of those are more.

[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb...

[SPEAKER_00]: Come aloft, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: The runnyback, you know, 168 yards for for the Wildcats tonight at 6.9 yards per carry.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, what did he do against Northwestern?

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, 125, 17 carries, 7.4, essentially the same game.

[SPEAKER_00]: What SC did to on defense was, [SPEAKER_00]: At the same, if not better than every other team has done defensively against Northwestern.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the frustration you have with those first two drives, carrying on and painting your opinion of the entire game, I think it's the PTSD of the Illinois game and the Notre Dame game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because since then, 3 and out, 3 yards, punt, 9 yards, 3 plays, 9 yards, punt, 3 plays, 4 yards, punt, 3 plays, 14 yards, fumble, end of half basically, a 5 plays, 31 yards, punt, 12 plays, 60 yards, hold them to a field goal, 7 plays, 31 yards, down, 3 plays, negative 4 yards, punt.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, Essie fans get frustrated with the bend-down break defense, there's one drive that bent and didn't break on that and settle for a field goal.

[SPEAKER_00]: Every other one, punt, fumbled on a weird run right for the half and downs.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like the defense did what you wanted them to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're going to have two drives, [SPEAKER_00]: Give up two types of times in Northwestern.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'd rather be the first two or the last two, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like be the first two and then show that you've improved and have corrected the issue or have it be like the Oregon game where it's the last two drives against the second stringer, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, and you're saying that like there's there is nothing in this game that proved that they can go beat Oregon There was no not going to be no and that's why I fully acknowledge them being unfair I like I fully acknowledge I'm being unfair.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just I can't help the way that I feel though Yeah, and one of my issues is [SPEAKER_02]: I would have could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I could have won this game 15-0 and I [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, that's fair.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like- This is the game that had no stress the last 45 minutes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, but it was like it's the same thing as the Michigan State game.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, it's not.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is not in the sense of it's like they've been over themselves for five minutes of that game and like it became sweaty Yeah, well, what happens if the defensive lineman who's rumbling to the end zone crosses the Is the extra half yard?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, to cross the plane of the end zone and it doesn't fumble a lot of things the game flipped on in there [SPEAKER_00]: But like that was in the first half.

[SPEAKER_00]: Once SC had full control of this game, they never relinquished it at all.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Michigan State game was about them having full control and then suddenly being like, uh, actually, uh, let's keep playing.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, what I mean by that is that these are comfortable wins by USC.

[SPEAKER_02]: That feel.

[SPEAKER_02]: just that they're comfortable wins that just don't feel that good, you know?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, and again, I just, I don't know how else to put it.

[SPEAKER_02]: My concern continues to be, I don't know if I trust that USC, and maybe I'll go back and rewatch it and say, and be able to say with some certainty that USC changed something.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I trust that USC changed something, [SPEAKER_02]: screwed the pooch by letting themselves fall behind by letting that fumble out of the end zone basically break them.

[SPEAKER_02]: I coming out in the first half by coming out of the second half and throwing the ball on first down, gaining 21 yards on second down, and then throwing the ball on first down, and then throwing the ball on second down, and then gaining seven yards on third and ten.

[SPEAKER_02]: which is again to me like if I am a this feels a lot like what Michigan did words like I was impressed by what you Michigan by what USC did defensively to Michigan but I also felt like what was Michigan thinking like why if I'm a Michigan fan or if I'm a Northwestern fan I am sitting here going why are you asking Preston stone to be the one [SPEAKER_02]: That's where I'm at.

[SPEAKER_02]: And again, maybe USC changed, maybe USC did something differently in that front seven.

[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe they did force Northwestern to throw the ball.

[SPEAKER_02]: I in the in the heat of the moment watching the game, I don't know that I that I saw anything to make me certain of that.

[SPEAKER_02]: What I know is that Northwestern fell behind by not scoring on that, but they fell [SPEAKER_02]: And then they started passing, and then they were screwed.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that's fine, you know, most college football teams are pretty bad, actually.

[SPEAKER_02]: And most, you know, most games, you simply need to outweight your opponent, from a U.S.E perspective, given U.S.E's talent advantages that they have over most teams that they play.

[SPEAKER_02]: you just have to wait out the other team and let them let them make the mistakes that cause them to lose.

[SPEAKER_02]: That is perfectly fine.

[SPEAKER_02]: And two U.S.s credit there were games last year where U.S.

he failed to do that and where U.S.

he lost games because they just couldn't, you know, that they made more mistakes than they're opponent too often.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that that is a major difference between this year and last year, and that is a reason why USE is six and two right now Stars seven and two and not where they were last year, so that it's clearly USE has improved on that front.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah But I'm still I I still can't like I Can't buy in is what I'm saying.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't buy in [SPEAKER_00]: that there's every game have to be a no a game where you have to decide a no every random on whether or not you're going to buy into sc's chance chances of being a national championship team no no no no no and I'm not even talking national championship team I'm talking to nine and three team um...

there's nothing in this game that says they're not a nine and three team [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said at the end of the of the of the watch alone that like there was nothing in this game that gave you like like the ceiling is still nine and three or whatever like yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: The scene is 10 and two until it's not.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think they're going to be 10 and two.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think like I'm not predicting that they're going to be 10 and two.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is nothing in in this performance that suggests that they will be losing to Iowa and UCLA.

[SPEAKER_00]: There isn't.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just like there's nothing proving or suggesting that they're going to be an organ.

[SPEAKER_02]: I, I, we can, we can dissect the Io a matchup in future, but this is also an Io a team who held Indiana to 20 points.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: So, and it's an Io a team that's, that's where I'm at.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's just like, [SPEAKER_02]: I have seen USC's offense, as high-powered as it is, as good as it is, most weeks.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have seen them lay eggs against Nebraska and Notre Dame, which means both of those on the room.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that seriously could just be the difference.

[SPEAKER_02]: It could just be the difference.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not necessarily like arguing that point.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just saying that like, [SPEAKER_02]: That's what this was a par performance.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think it's a par.

[SPEAKER_00]: Par, they won by three scores.

[SPEAKER_00]: The spread was two.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not par.

[SPEAKER_00]: If anything, it's a birdie.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is it an eagle, no?

[SPEAKER_00]: But like, I don't think there's a lot of difference between this game and the Michigan game, outside of the colors and the stickers on the helmet.

[SPEAKER_00]: Statistically, it's very similar.

[SPEAKER_00]: Very similar.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's almost identical.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's what S.E.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: is going to be at home, sign me up.

[SPEAKER_00]: They don't need to win games.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Indiana Way 55 to 10.

[SPEAKER_00]: You'd love it.

[SPEAKER_00]: You'd absolutely love it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Pete Carroll team didn't win 55 to 10 every single week.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, okay, I feel like you're choosing to be miserable here.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not trying, this, I'm trying very hard to not be miserable.

[SPEAKER_02]: I swear to God, I don't want to be one of those miserable people.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not, and I'm not, and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not being miserable here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not, I'm just like, remember when SD played Arizona two years ago and they won that game, they pulled it out of their ass in, in a, [SPEAKER_00]: Triple overtime.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but that was before I went through losing to Notre Dame and Utah and Almost losing to cow and losing to Washington and Oregon and UCLA.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like I was a different person But that might look like it's like this was that game.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: like that that's what you're at the better team than this north-western team to be fair Well, she had killed Williams in that game.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, no.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just I think that where I'm at is I I am I enjoyed the game that sequence were [SPEAKER_02]: my avat through the interception and then forced the fumble to ball out of the end zone and then you as he got the ball back and came to work broke free for a long run like that sequence was probably my favorite two minutes of the season.

[SPEAKER_02]: I nearly passed out.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was laughing so hard.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was an it was incredible.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like I had fun watching the game.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying that I was like I'm like a miserable asshole or anything like that.

[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: where I'm at is simply that, like, you know what it is, Michael?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am 20, 20, 20, I am, I don't even know where I'm at.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure where to go with.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am where I was when I was out on Clayhilton.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm probably, I'm 2020 USC, where it's like, USC is winning all these games.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it's like, okay, yeah, USC's undefeated.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, that's good, that's good.

[SPEAKER_02]: But also, like, we're all out on Clayhilton.

[SPEAKER_02]: We're all like, meh, we all know the, like, we all know the shoe's gonna drop, and it ultimately does drop, and then we're annoyed.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like, I think where I'm at is I am, [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm just to be fully transparent.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I'm out on Lincoln Riley.

[SPEAKER_02]: And thus, I'm just, I keep waiting for the shooter drop.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it makes it difficult to, like, to enjoy, not even enjoy.

[SPEAKER_02]: It makes it difficult to, like, read anything into the positive performances.

[SPEAKER_02]: like the Rogers.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's because you watch every minute of it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because like, this is like, only when the chat says part of it is that the team never looks good in a win the final score as much less chaotic than the actual game, this game is a total mess, they just won.

[SPEAKER_00]: Part of this is because we watched all the game, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, we watched all the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: We can see every single word.

[SPEAKER_00]: We saw that the game, the, we need a name for this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is there a name for the, the pick, fumble out of the end zone, [SPEAKER_00]: the the the myover retribution i don't know the pick the pick five to back pick pick from back pick from back whatever it was uh...

yes the game is probably completely different if that doesn't happen and the game is probably uh...

i think there's a world in which you're spirit absolutely breaks if you're north western [SPEAKER_00]: But like, as I think it helps for my office case, cause my album was not great tonight, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he was not as good as he was in the fourth quarter against Illinois, for instance.

[SPEAKER_02]: He was much better than he was against not as much better against Nebraska.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if this is the flaw, my other performance, you take it, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, absolutely.

[SPEAKER_00]: They were like, [SPEAKER_00]: three plays where you're like, oh, four, maybe four plays.

[SPEAKER_02]: There were a couple like what, what do you know he got away with?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, mostly it was he got away with like throwing passes that got tipped way up into the air.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: And like hung up there long enough that you were waiting for the defender to fall under his.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's bad as the interception is I think it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Significantly easier to live with.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, because obviously they got the phone book, like basically the play didn't happen, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I think him causing the fumble is great.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's all like, but again, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_02]: But here's the problem is that like you keep going back to my office performance.

[SPEAKER_02]: And like, no, you don't mean to be an only human.

[SPEAKER_02]: The track goes USC also scored the most against Northwestern.

[SPEAKER_02]: This year of any of their opponents.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I'm not out on USC's offense.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I know, but this is not [SPEAKER_02]: the area for sure that I have guys like you know you see often so objectively very good and u.s.s often is going to put up points on most teams but u.s.s often is not impervious and u.s.s.s often has proven already this season that they can't bail out the defense every time and that's kind of where I'm that's gonna bail out the defense and that's gonna bail out the offense every time.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes and that's kind of where where I'm at is just like I don't [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't want to get you off here.

[SPEAKER_00]: You still got me.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I don't trust USC's defense.

[SPEAKER_02]: This is Damon.

[SPEAKER_00]: What is that the statement that I don't want to cut where where are you going with this because I have a thought I just don't want to So I can't go for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have completed my statement.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't trust you since I guess what I'm going back to Lansing about like they just don't look impressive in the in the win, but they do on this on in the box score is that's and when I said that we watched every play we saw the wards We are not doing this with other teams.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and so like [SPEAKER_00]: That is a big, like, I look at, I'm looking at organs and Northwestern's box score here.

[SPEAKER_00]: And there is nothing in here that says, oh, well, they had nine plays that look like crap.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Look, those things are not in a box score.

[SPEAKER_00]: And yes, I think that the I test is super important.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this is why I've always talked about, like, I don't know that, [SPEAKER_00]: the win-loss record at the end of the season should be the total determining factor for how glad a team is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Look at last year, last year's team was competitive with literally everybody.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think if you put this year's my Ava on last year's team, I think they probably also win nine games.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think it's crazy to say because they've led in the fourth quarter and almost every of those games, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's very reasonable to say that they would have been nine and three.

[SPEAKER_00]: That said, my lover wasn't what he is now last year anyway, so like it's not it's not I'm not saying that we're not arguing that no, but I get I get this I get where you're I get where you're what what I'm saying is like We talk about other team like oh like as a high estate would look like this in in one of these games [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, uh, you know, last year's Penn State team wouldn't look like this and one of these getting, like any of those or like this is not what a playoff team looks like or whatever.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're not watching every single play of Alabama's games and then, and I'm not comparing that to Alabama specifically, what I'm saying is like, you go on every single person, every single team's message board, everyone should eat over every single win, Pete Carroll teams, people were frustrated with Pete Carroll during the Pete Carroll era.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: So what I'm saying is, [SPEAKER_00]: Like, that they didn't look perfect in a win.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think should be a massive discredit because they won the game by three scores.

[SPEAKER_00]: Statistically, they did everything you wanted them to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't, I, I don't think it's a discredit.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're not gonna be perfect on every single strike.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, I don't think it's a discredit and I don't think, I don't think.

[SPEAKER_00]: It says you would agree, but we're so bad at Notre Dame.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, again, that's fair.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that's why you're still new to the context of this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can't remove the context of the last two seasons from this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like, and again, I'm not saying this was a bad performance by any stretch.

[SPEAKER_02]: I do think the defense should be given a lot of credit for their performance in the second half.

[SPEAKER_02]: I do think U.S.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's offense.

[SPEAKER_02]: has so much to be really excited about and, you know, to, to hang their hats on.

[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's, that's, that's for sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just, I, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just not, um, I'm not doing back flips.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think, maybe, okay, here, how do I put this?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, it's not that I'm, [SPEAKER_02]: angry after this performance.

[SPEAKER_02]: I just have not doing backflips the way that I would like to after USC wins a game by three touchdowns.

[SPEAKER_00]: Does that make sense?

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, Georgia Southern scored three more points and had a hundred yards more total offense than Northwestern.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I didn't enjoy watching USC's defense play Georgia Southern.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, I'm just saying like it's [SPEAKER_02]: I have not enjoyed USC's defense playing any team that USC has played yet this season.

[SPEAKER_00]: Michigan State scored 14 more points than Northwestern and had 50 more yards.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, and I did not enjoy that performance on defense either.

[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm just like, I just, at some point, like the defense shouldn't have to shut teams out for you to be like, [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, they're not horrible for 60 minutes.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: I like, I'm not sitting here and saying that this is the defense that I want to ask you to take in a battle of a playoff game.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's like, that's not what I'm arguing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like I, it was two bad drives at the beginning and I understand that they had a million bad drives that can still in a way and they gave up a million yards on the ground against Notre Dame.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like, these are four games in a row where they've got, [SPEAKER_00]: a metric crap ton of stops stops that if they would have gotten against Illinois they win the game like the Illinois game was so bad defensively they have taken several steps forward from the Illinois game because the Illinois game was several steps back like this is i think last year defense was probably better than the year defense i'm not arguing with this is a great defense i just don't think it's as like bad as [SPEAKER_00]: They've held two mediocre teams to 17 points.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is what we've been saying that SEC's defense should always be.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like you just keep teams under 20 points and have a potent offense.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're gonna win every game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Barring the ones against the elite teams.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is, I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going with this.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where I'm going with this to be quite honest like I I don't know how I feel I Yeah, I don't feel some type I feel some type of way and I don't want to like bring the mood down because it was an objectively good win Yeah, I just I feel some type of way.

[SPEAKER_02]: I can't help it [SPEAKER_00]: I understand not being bought in like not sitting here and saying yeah, but they didn't prove anything that they could go out there and beat Oregon and whatnot, but like I don't think like I said I don't think there's any evidence saying that what they have done the last two weeks on defense will not translate to Iowa and UCLA there's none.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, no, no evidence.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you see it as a completely different question than Iowa and my view, sure, because you see it actually the quarterback that can watch in these last two games, I, there is no reason to sit here and say that Iowa shouldn't be held to 17 points also.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's what I'm saying.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if you hold Iowa to 17 points, even though Iowa's defense is very good, I think S.E.' [SPEAKER_00]: 's offense should be able to score 18.

[SPEAKER_04]: So, Iowa's offense is better than Northwestern's offense.

[SPEAKER_04]: I hate to tell you.

[SPEAKER_04]: I disagree.

[SPEAKER_04]: I disagree.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, Anna Anna in the chat.

[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you Anna in the chat says Michael everything you say is true and have the exact same thoughts It's hard to explain, but I think it's a form of PTSD a lot of faith.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard to define intellectually [SPEAKER_02]: That's all, that's all where I'm at.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's all where I'm at.

[SPEAKER_02]: Everything you've said is true.

[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone in the chat saying, I'm too negative is true.

[SPEAKER_02]: Everyone in the chat saying, let's just enjoy this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: You are a 1 hundred percent.

[SPEAKER_02]: I cannot explain this is an irrational PTSD response to past trauma.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's the, that's the prevailing thought for me.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, it's, it's not that, like, it's not like this is the greatest win of all time or anything.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's more so that, like, and I feel like I've mentioned this a million times during the season.

[SPEAKER_00]: We get 12 of these games to talk about.

[SPEAKER_00]: 12 of them.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the entire off season, you're just counting the weekends until football season comes back.

[SPEAKER_00]: FC beats a team.

[SPEAKER_00]: 3 scores is never in doubt the game is never in doubt for the last 40 minutes of the game and hold them to the fewest yards and has the fewest in the most yards on them that they've had in conference play like [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the gloom and doom can pause for a night.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's all I'm saying.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not trying to gloom.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's the PTSD.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Can we talk about two things I want to talk about?

[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.

[SPEAKER_02]: Number one.

[SPEAKER_02]: Shout out to USC's Titans.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because Lake McCree comes away with three catches for 52 yards.

[SPEAKER_02]: Walker Lyons has a big catch for nine yards, tough catch, good catch.

[SPEAKER_02]: They were outstanding in the run game.

[SPEAKER_02]: The big runs that USC broke off in this game were all about the Titans.

[SPEAKER_02]: uh...

that that this was one of the better tight-end performances that we've seen and i loved seeing u.s.c.

[SPEAKER_02]: not do the thing i hate with the tight-ends and trying to get them out in space and instead taking them over the middle the one-time they did the one-time they did the the little outside staff was there was the goal line which i thought was i thought i love that playing at the goal yeah i agree that the the one exception for the tight-end uh...

out in the out in the flat is at the goal line because you don't [SPEAKER_02]: It's okay if they just get two yards, because all you need is two yards, that one is my obit...

[SPEAKER_02]: If my obit puts that in front of him, it's an easy touchdown, easy touchdown.

[SPEAKER_02]: So you know, in that sense, like that one's fine, but like the bread and butter stuff with the tight ends was over the middle, and I loved, I thought it was so effective, I thought it was so, so fun to watch, and both of them were really, really outstanding.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think the other thing that bears repeating is just that how fortunate U.S.E.

[SPEAKER_02]: is that King Miller exists.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is absurd that King Miller exists.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is absurd that U.S.E.

[SPEAKER_02]: stumbled upon this diamond of a rough of a walk on.

[SPEAKER_02]: I do not know how he [SPEAKER_02]: didn't end up with a scholarship somewhere.

[SPEAKER_02]: I do not understand it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is USC's to USC's great benefit because King Miller is a stud.

[SPEAKER_02]: He is so fun to watch.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's that there are just running backs who hit the hole.

[SPEAKER_02]: and just have that like, you know what it is, Michael, it's in college, for Paul 25, 26, where like that animation that feels so unreal, where they just like zoom, like, it's like, whoop, he's through the hole.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's what King Miller does.

[SPEAKER_02]: If there's a hole there, it's straight through, and then he does that little shimmy and wiggle, and, [SPEAKER_02]: And always makes it, you know, it makes the safety or the linebacker that's trying to take him down, work for it, and he's quicker than he looks, he's more powerful than he looks, it is just, how is it possible that USC lost Raymond Jordan and Eli Sanders and they have not skipped a beat in the [SPEAKER_00]: It is beyond fortunate for SC to have him.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have lost multiple offensive linemen.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've lost your starting two running backs, two running backs, that you put so much of your offensive stock into because they were your big transfer gifts.

[SPEAKER_00]: And one of them's a two code guy, but he's the best two code guy in the world last year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And wait a minute, Jordan, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, these were the guys.

[SPEAKER_00]: And he looked at both of them were as advertised.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Completely as advertised they look tremendous.

[SPEAKER_00]: They both get hurt in the same game one for the season one for a big chunk of the season and it's I think there's still a question is if Waymo even comes back.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think he I think we end up seeing him at the end of November if not the bull game or whatever, but like To not have any drop in run production [SPEAKER_00]: not your your sophomore running back that people can pair to lend a white and part because he wears a same number no from a walk on that none of us knew existed nine weeks ago you know what I mean that that's [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's the divine intervention, if you will.

[SPEAKER_02]: It really is.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's, it's like I will just continue to say, it's absolutely wild.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, other shoutouts that I would like to make.

[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think that obviously McIlemon really great game but I do want a shoutout to Kobe Lane specifically because I was pretty critical of Kobe after his last game.

[SPEAKER_02]: He had more yards in that game.

[SPEAKER_02]: He had more production was it Nebraska and Notre Dame whatever it was he had a lot of production in that game and I still came away feeling like he had left a lot on the table and that I felt like USC Notre Dame he has six catches for a hundred and eleven yards.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm critical of him because he had a couple drops and then against Nebraska he has two catches for twenty two yards [SPEAKER_02]: Again, I'm sitting there thinking like USC has one elite receiver, USC needs to have two elite receivers and Jacoby Lane has still just been a little bit too up and down a little bit too, you know, he clearly has a huge talent, huge ceiling, but he's not the finished article yet.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that in this game, we saw the best of Jacoby Lane.

[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't his most productive game.

[SPEAKER_02]: He's had more productive games.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't think he's seen a cleaner game from him.

[SPEAKER_02]: He caught every pass that came his way.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I will say those passes were not straight at him.

[SPEAKER_02]: He had to use his entire length to catch quite a few of those.

[SPEAKER_02]: And he did so super effectively just making the tough catches, making the easy catches, being available, getting open.

[SPEAKER_02]: that, you know, if he's this player, then USC will, USC's offense will just be an absolute nightmare for anybody to deal with because you got McIlemon running away from your defense.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then you got your Kobe Lane making these tough catches using that wings using that catch radius.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's absolutely insane.

[SPEAKER_02]: Makes life so much easier on the quarterback.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he looked really good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned, like I love him, 11 catchers, 161 yards, and I feel like I said, I feel like it wasn't his best performance of all the time.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was a pedestrian, like I love everything special, which is what just tells you how many it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like the does your is good, and a big backup.

[SPEAKER_00]: bounce back for the last two weeks.

[SPEAKER_00]: He needed this for the last two weeks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, but I think this is the this is the prime example of there's one school in call triple that would not swap out their top versus two receivers for the lemon in lane.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's a higher state.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you could even make the argument that may be a higher state.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, but that's being totally fair.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you know what I mean, like, no, no.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, these two most schools don't have.

[SPEAKER_02]: receive two receivers of of this call.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I want to I want to continue to see Lane be this kind of reliable this kind of steady But like when you get this kind of performance him from him, boy, is it satisfying?

[SPEAKER_02]: It is so much fun.

[SPEAKER_00]: One of those lane touchdowns on a goal line fade on third It was absolutely incredible incredible catch We [SPEAKER_00]: It's almost like a week ago, yeah, I think that like my point was I don't like how they went to the goal line fade and then went to the play action when like [SPEAKER_00]: you are putting yourself in a corner when you don't get the goal line fade, you then definitely need to run on the second down, which they didn't, and like that kind of stuff annoyed me.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think a goal line fade makes more sense on a third down, especially since part of it is still playing for the PI.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: which they did in that, but that was like to me that was P.I.

[SPEAKER_02]: and I wonder if he drops it if they threw the fly.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and certainly there's some outcome bias, a goalline fade doesn't bother you when you only remember the goalline fades that don't work, that don't work, that's certainly part of it, but yeah, either way, I thought S.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: sort of allowed themselves to [SPEAKER_00]: show on offense that this was a pick me up from Nebraska where they were able to get the the passing game back working.

[SPEAKER_00]: My ava was able to, you know, go through and throw for nearly 300 yards, 299 yards and that's the type of optimism or type of performance that's going to give you the optimism to use your ball knowledge and go out and [SPEAKER_00]: Hick Jade might have a next week when S.C.

plays the Iowa Hawke guys at the Colosseum on homecoming when you go over to underdog fantasy, because at least the underdog fantasy is all about using that ball knowledge, all about using your optimism, and how you're feeling about your dudes.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're like, I know, Jade and my office really good at throwing the football.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go higher than whatever his is that projection is, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Right now, over an underdog fantasy, you can pick whether a guy will go higher lower than those stat projections.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm doing that on Saturday, Game Day tomorrow, while SC is not playing, we're gonna be watching Iowa play Oregon.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I'm going lower, 210 and a half passing yards for Dante Moore.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's playing against an I would defense is really good.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going lower and I'm going lower.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mark Grinowski, 128 and a half-pass in the arts because that's, I don't believe in Mark Grinowski.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's such an easy, so I'm going to under.

[SPEAKER_00]: Lower on both of those.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's talk about our upcoming reneatory schedule.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is the graphic we put together for the Northwestern preview.

[SPEAKER_00]: We had the watch along and the car cast is what you're watching today.

[SPEAKER_00]: There will be no fallout episode.

[SPEAKER_00]: No fallout episode on the Northwestern Game.

[SPEAKER_00]: You want more about the Northwestern [SPEAKER_00]: rewind and listen again.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that would that would help our downloads our views all those sort of think I think it would be good We'll be back Wednesday To preview USC and Iowa normal time for PM Pacific however that episode will not be live [SPEAKER_00]: not be recorded live on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_00]: It will be premiering on YouTube at the same time.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you're listening to us on Spotify or whatever, Apple Podcast, you're going to notice no difference.

[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, because we are going on trip.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we are pre-recording that.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're actually literally recording it tomorrow night.

[SPEAKER_00]: Or Iowa preview, which is great because they play Oregon tomorrow 12 30 we get to watch that game get all the sort of intel What we think about FC play in Iowa and then immediately run to the mics and record that preview for you guys Which would go on on Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_02]: I love it when there's a situation where the next two opponents play each other.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it's great.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes That'll be great.

[SPEAKER_00]: The car cast next week for Iowa will not be [SPEAKER_00]: at the time that the game ends like normal because at least and I will be watching that game on an airplane.

[SPEAKER_04]: Paying for the Wi-Fi, hoping it works, hoping that the Wi-Fi is actually available.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then we will be getting home late and then we will do the carcass.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be good home.

[SPEAKER_00]: So probably going to be like nine o'clock or so that we'll have the Iowa carcass next Saturday.

[SPEAKER_00]: Give you plenty of time to [SPEAKER_00]: Uh, get home, take a nap after that game, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the, uh, the game, get dinner and then check back with this later.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, uh, and then the I will fall out, Oregon Preview, Oregon, watch along all that stuff back, as normal, unscheduled, the following week.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, [SPEAKER_00]: more, we're talking about this game.

[SPEAKER_00]: More things to go.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have some updates.

[SPEAKER_02]: What do you got?

[SPEAKER_02]: We got a question in the chat from Iggy.

[SPEAKER_02]: A slum.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, Levant.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Does anyone know the injury status on read the center and did O'Connor come into replace him?

[SPEAKER_02]: I have not seen anything about genre read as far as like his status goes, but yes, Killian O'Connor did come in to replace him.

[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, I wouldn't expect to get information I read until, you know, practice next week.

[SPEAKER_02]: King Miller told reporters that he had a stinger that that's what was going on with his arm and that he's perfectly fine, which is very, very good news.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I think we need to talk about the fake punt.

[SPEAKER_02]: mainly because of the angry text we've received about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have not had my phone, little inside based on it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, can I hold it?

[SPEAKER_02]: All right, your phone is, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: At least this camera is my phone, it's my iPhone.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have a webcam right here, her phone is my phone.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_00]: So since we've recorded [SPEAKER_00]: the started with the watch along.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have not even seen my phone.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have not seen my phone in five hours.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have no idea.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's possible that my dad is called and fell down a bunch of stairs and needed me to go pick him up.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't even know what I don't understand why you don't have messenger messages on your computer.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to tell you.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not going to tell you my work computer.

[SPEAKER_02]: Which is, well, it's my work computer and I've got my messages on there.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's weird.

[SPEAKER_02]: OK, can I give you a dramatic, not so dramatic reading of the text messages that we received from one Jake Marifield of the West Fruin Show?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's a tweet from George Wright's sir of the play.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's right, you're ready.

[SPEAKER_02]: The U.S.E.

[SPEAKER_02]: putting a backup cubion at PUNTER in the same number as the actual PUNTER is Bush League.

[SPEAKER_02]: This should 100% be a penalty garbage.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jake responds, WTF, four question marks.

[SPEAKER_02]: I respond, low, his number on the roster is 80.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's totally legal.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jake responds, but did they sub-acubian as the punter and the punter in the game was wearing the same number?

[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, the cubian, the punter have the same number.

[SPEAKER_02]: They trotted out the cubian instead of the punter for the fake punter.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jake says, that's bush league.

[SPEAKER_02]: No excuse for it.

[SPEAKER_02]: You had one of these with Kiffin, too, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: I said, with Kevin, they put a jersey on him, they literally changed this dude's number on the roster three weeks ago, low.

[SPEAKER_02]: Jake responds, I know you're saying it's not against the rules and I agree, but it's a disingenuous loophole.

[SPEAKER_02]: Saving two guys with the same number like this is BS, not genius in my opinion, it shouldn't be celebrated and it should be immediately made illegal to which I reply, how would you make it illegal?

[SPEAKER_02]: he says easy you can't have two players with the same number play on the same unit in the same game period end of story units being often stiffens special teams not just offense and defense which i have not replied to yet because it's it's more complicated than just like okay how do you police i don't know how you police that because the raps don't have time to write down the number of everybody on every play yeah but i think that's what i think it's a valid value concert [SPEAKER_00]: I'd quarterback wearing number 80 drives me insane.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hate it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hate that what's his face from Michigan Gardner, award 98.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hate the bearbock, my worst 47.

[SPEAKER_00]: However, wearing 80 for shit-howsery, trying to funny.

[SPEAKER_00]: I also sit here and completely in with Jake in the sense and George Reister about like, it is probably Bush League.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like, every team does some stupid bush leak thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not nearly not remotely at a agreement with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the Jersey switch situation that Lane Kiffen did in 2012.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because that, like you said, was taking off the number six jersey from Cody Kessler and putting on the number 35 to run a trick play.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: this is doing the same thing in a long-con situation, where it's not the short-con situation.

[SPEAKER_00]: And players change numbers all the time mid-game when you see the big fake jersey, like Jacobie Lane, and the very situation is running out there with like a number 54 or whatever, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's kind of a part of [SPEAKER_00]: of cultural law at this point i do think that it probably would have been more fair if if you were to go out wearing a number eighty in the big ass jersey that's very obvious that it's not his [SPEAKER_00]: sure, but also like if you're going to do this, then go the full way and change his number permanently, which F.C.

[SPEAKER_00]: is done.

[SPEAKER_02]: His numbers on the roster and has been on the roster as number 80 for weeks now.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: So like my, I think PRJK is correct.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's bushly when it works.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's stupidity when it doesn't.

[SPEAKER_02]: If USC did this and Saviour had missed the throw, then no one would be talking about it being bushly.

[SPEAKER_02]: They would be laughing and how silly this all was.

[SPEAKER_02]: I get, I think that it would be totally fair if they figured out a way to stop this from happening, that it would be totally fair to prevent it from happening.

[SPEAKER_02]: But it's kind of like the touch push.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, how are you going to, like, how are you going to ban it?

[SPEAKER_02]: Except to saying, you can't do that.

[SPEAKER_02]: But then how do you decide you can't do that?

[SPEAKER_02]: Like, you can't, [SPEAKER_03]: right.

[SPEAKER_02]: You can't put in a player that wears the same number.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's like, um, if a doorie Jackson is wearing number two and whoever else was number two that year on offense, um, you can't swap them out and have a doorie Jackson be it in at number two.

[SPEAKER_00]: because that isn't that are the limited edition already exists.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you can't have two players with the same number on the field, right?

[SPEAKER_02]: But if you have a number two, if you had like tonneau kinds wearing 16 and whoever else wears 16 on the field and that other 16 came into play as number 16.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I mean, case and point, they did that jumbo package thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, with uh, that's Cordoba.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's Cordoba.

[SPEAKER_00]: They could not do it with Devon Tomkins, because he wears eight in Chacoby Lane, wears eight.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, like, that already exists.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if he did, he'd have to wear the big ass, like Mumu looking jersey to sort of make up for it, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: But how do you fix this?

[SPEAKER_00]: You fix it by no double numbers at all.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but you can't really do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Which is not going to happen in college above when the new rosters are up to 105.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's not realistic.

[SPEAKER_00]: You could fix it with the old school NFL numbering system.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that doesn't work because quarter, quarterbacks, [SPEAKER_00]: overlap with punters and kickers in that situation, if you said that punters and kickers had to wear number, like in the forties or something, then okay, well then theoretically you could have done the same thing with a safety, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And if there's a safety that, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: with the helmet on could look the same as the punner and dressed the same way and all that kind of stuff then you could still do it that way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, I don't know how you'll legislate this.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm excited.

[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of no double numbers period.

[SPEAKER_00]: There is no way to legislate it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It is what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's- Danny says triple digits.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the other thing- Oh, you do.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the other thing you could do.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is weird, but hear me out.

[SPEAKER_00]: What if you eliminated [SPEAKER_00]: This is probably too specific of a fix, but what if you eliminated numbers for kickers and punters?

[SPEAKER_00]: Kickers were a K on their jersey, puners were a P, and that's it.

[SPEAKER_02]: And that's it, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: It would solve this issue.

[SPEAKER_00]: It wouldn't solve this for in other positions and stuff, but it would solve it for this one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: But also, you should be prepared for a fake punt, whether a quarterback or a punter is back there.

[SPEAKER_02]: You could put a quarterback back there and ask them to punt.

[SPEAKER_02]: USC has had their quarterback punt when Cody Kessler did it.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like, I will say, I think that if we're talking about cheer, like Bush League should house or anything, I think it probably would have been worse if they're in the punt formation and then, [SPEAKER_00]: then they audible to suddenly they're in a normal offensive position, he's at quarterback and like he's calling the offense and everything and you force them to call a timeout and if they don't call a timeout then that's on them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like in some ways being more forthright is even [SPEAKER_00]: more of a bastardization of the situation by using him as a quarterback that looks like a punner rather than running a play that a punter would have ran anyways.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like to your point, like it's not like they ran a trick play that a punter wouldn't normally run.

[SPEAKER_02]: And it wasn't like that was a throw wasn't something that a theoretically a punter who had been a high school quarterback couldn't have thrown, you know?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I will say, well, a private example of outcome bias when he went to throw and he was like, so slow with his release, I'm like, oh my god, this is the ugliest pass I've ever seen.

[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't ugly pass, that's the funny thing is like, when we thought it was the punter, it was like, oh, you know, he must have been a high school quarterback or whatever.

[SPEAKER_02]: And then we found that it was the actual quarterback and I was like, oh, that was a good throw.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it worked, it worked, it worked.

[SPEAKER_02]: What can you do?

[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, I just think this is the I just think it's funny that people are mad about it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I get it, but also that's it would it would have been worse if that wasn't his number on the roster like you said.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and that has been if you're weak.

[SPEAKER_00]: Gonna be.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like this and you're gonna pull something like this and you wanted to do it like because now it's on Northwestern's fall It's not a question's fault for not looking at the roster and seeing that there's also a quarterback with that number Like it's it's a it's a long Khan in which it was there the whole time.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah [SPEAKER_02]: Speaking of Sam Heward, interesting that he got in in the game to protect us on Longstreet's Fredcher.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what you'll about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't hate it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's something that makes a lot of sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's smart.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's feel like it's something we don't see anymore because I feel like quarterback red shirts are not protected in the same way.

[SPEAKER_00]: because I think teams have the mindset of, or at least I think maybe fans have the mindset, whatever, of a song long straight is not going to mean that red shirt if he stays at USC, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because, and I don't know if someone who projects to the NFL given size and all that kind of stuff, that's all besides the point.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like either a quarterback is going to be a three-year [SPEAKER_00]: or they're not.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if they're not, they're gonna go somewhere else.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so like, there's no need to protect the guy as red shirt in that sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think that like, if the player's cool with it and the player's family's cool with it and all that kind of stuff, it makes so much sense just in general to protect the guy that way.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because, and if you're the player, I totally get wanting that because, if you don't win the job next year, [SPEAKER_00]: Well, you can transfer out and you can still have a year of eligibility that you wouldn't have had previously, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, because it's court and it's I'm not saying that he's going to transfer away, but like that's just the reality of how quarterbacks are right quarterbacks either win a job or they transfer away, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so if you win a job, right, you have an extra year of him if you need it, even though realistically if he's your starter for three years, he's probably not coming back for fourth year anyways.

[SPEAKER_00]: But if he doesn't win the job, cool, he's got a year that he can go and transfer to TCU and be the quarterback there with an extra year of eligibility and cool for him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but I think it also is.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's practical for the player because, you know, yes, USC probably won't benefit from his long treat's red shirt, but it was on long treat, and I think doing right by the player makes a lot of sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: And S.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: still my benefit, like it's just given this day of call of triple, I don't know that we see that as much.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, because let's say, let's say, okay, you keep his red shirt this year.

[SPEAKER_02]: My avocams back for next year.

[SPEAKER_02]: He sits as a red shirt freshman, and then, [SPEAKER_00]: He starts with a red shirt sophomore the year after.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then a red shirt junior and then he decides he wants a third year Because he wants to come back for you be and it's an optional year for him.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then and then that's up to him You so but but more more than anything.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it's just being doing right by the player giving him that option especially when [SPEAKER_02]: you know, Sam Huard came in to hand off the ball.

[SPEAKER_02]: It would be different if this was an opportunity for a song long street to get some like real snaps in, but it wouldn't be.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like this what the you weren't going to gain anything by having a song long street in the game for this for that drive, you know, and it was also kind of cool to see Sam Huard in a game where he threw the [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the fake pun to get in there and Yeah, I think we had talked about this earlier this season.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like is this going to be, is there a situation where this is a uh, my or QB2 and QB2 a situation?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my argument at the end of the show was been that Sam Hubert is your backup unless unless the backup actually has to play.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, my of this helmet comes off for a play.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sam Hubert goes in.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have a breaks as ankle.

[SPEAKER_00]: Then the solo tree comes in.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it's very different.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: 100%.

[SPEAKER_04]: All right, let's go.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I have one.

[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's a cut you off.

[SPEAKER_02]: But I have one more.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, you're a photo.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: On the praise train, Raylan Conley got a lot of playing time in this game because Marcelo Williams got injured.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think I can't express how catastrophic Braylon Conley's performances in previous games had been.

[SPEAKER_02]: I want to say Illinois was the last game he got serious playing time in, and it was catastrophic.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was bad, it was bad.

[SPEAKER_02]: So for him to come back in for him to get thrown in in this situation and then put in the performance that he did that was awesome to see he was [SPEAKER_02]: great.

[SPEAKER_02]: He did a good job in coverage.

[SPEAKER_02]: He did a really good job coming down and tackling guys at the line of scrimmage.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was a great.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was nice to see him just be able to shake off those previous performances that had just been, it had been really awful and coming and look like he knew what he was about and knew what he was doing and look confident.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that was really cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: He had two plays that I think that he would want back, one of them was the longest pass play that Northwestern has is Conley gets beat because he trips.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And given the way S.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: played well defensively in the second half and everything and given the way how good Conley was before that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Who cares.

[SPEAKER_00]: The PI he has.

[SPEAKER_00]: bummer for him because and I it's one where I think that if you are the coaching staff you look at that you don't care it's not that big he is all over the receiver there's hand fighting the hand fighting is going both ways I don't think that's why he gets called I think he gets called that because where the ball is thrown ends up being [SPEAKER_00]: This advantage is for him because now he's he's positionally Yeah, and the spot that prevent him to get to the ball.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so like he's sort of at the mercy where the ball's going, but like he was covering the dude the whole time.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and like and at a certain point at a certain point, and this is where I'll praise to Carlos Nichols into At a certain point, one of the issues for USC has been that their corners are nowhere near the receivers.

[SPEAKER_02]: at times.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I think that what we saw here was Braille and Conley and Dakar was Nicholson both being on top of receivers.

[SPEAKER_02]: And if that sometimes results in a PI, I can live with that if you are in position and you are trying to make a play.

[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I think that that's the performance from USC's corners in this game.

[SPEAKER_02]: I thought was was perfectly acceptable.

[SPEAKER_02]: Positive to see.

[SPEAKER_02]: And certainly a step in the right direction compared to where [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and you look at the penalties that S.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: had in this game, or a four.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, an eligible receiver down field, just down to, um, hilarious.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a long touch time pass to, to their kinds.

[SPEAKER_00]: But it is hilarious because he watched it always attached always he watched the replay He sees he gets back too far and then like looks around like oh got to get back What a noise for me.

[SPEAKER_02]: Let it noise me and it was it was he was agreed just leave down feet like yeah, I get it more so than the one against the more so than done her read before But having said that Both of the easy legal man downfield calls [SPEAKER_02]: have zero to do with the play that happens.

[SPEAKER_02]: They are completely, you could take the player off of the field.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it would not change the spirit of why the rule exists.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so it annoys me that USC has had two touchdowns taken off the board for valid penalties that were against the rule of the law.

[SPEAKER_02]: But also, it's just like, really, like, do you really need to call that?

[SPEAKER_02]: Did this have any impact?

[SPEAKER_02]: whatsoever.

[SPEAKER_02]: Did this disadvantage Northwestern in the slightest?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I also wonder if it's a play issue of like, should such a long developing?

[SPEAKER_00]: RPO exist, you know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, does it just put him out to pasture also?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because like, it was such a long throw.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, is that it, what does it mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, like, she did it on my oboe.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, it kind of looked like he thought it was a run play.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Until he turned around and saw the running back wasn't there.

[SPEAKER_02]: And my oboe had the ball.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it was like, oh, like, I need to watch it back again.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, was it an RPO?

[SPEAKER_00]: Or did was it a misunderstanding or I don't know either way, the rule exists so that you cannot deceive [SPEAKER_00]: teams by, you know, run blocking when it should be a pass and whatever, and there was a three-yard buffer zone that allows RPOs to exist.

[SPEAKER_00]: Right?

[SPEAKER_00]: And what he was doing was not affecting the play, but that doesn't mean that that wasn't a violation of the really bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then there was a legal formation on a, on a punt on a punt.

[SPEAKER_00]: There was a fall start, and then there was the passing interference that I talked about in Conlay.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Four penalties.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you had four penalties every week, great.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Sign us up.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: not particularly a grieges either.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand the punt one, whatever, if I'll start obviously you don't want, but you know, the others, it's just fine.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, let's walk through the box square really quick here before we sign off.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have again 299 yards, two touchdowns, a pick.

[SPEAKER_00]: Pass to my name of a buck 62.8.

[SPEAKER_00]: solid armor performance for him.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's what you want from your quarterback.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you get something better than that, you love it.

[SPEAKER_00]: You get something worse from that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, then you hope somewhere else compensated.

[SPEAKER_00]: But he was, it's, it's, it's, it's exactly what you want.

[SPEAKER_00]: Receiving yards, lamb and big 161 yards, Jacobi Lane 74, McCray had a 42 yard catch 52 yards for him on three catches.

[SPEAKER_00]: King Miller had, [SPEAKER_00]: two catches for three yards and the kines had ten yards that was the fourth down fake punts either walking lions also caught a pass early on in the game rushing king miller box buck twenty seven on fifteen carries eight point five he gets the we're going to not 18 carries yeah 15 so he might have done 18 if he didn't get that stinger hold on so we need to do the we're under we can we can run through the over on the list it [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know who did what I don't even have what you and I did we'll have to update it on the next time we're around [SPEAKER_00]: but uh...

here we go for the lines uh...

hundred seventy two and a half-northwestern passing yards the under uh...

it was over is one fifty uh...

under one fifty uh...

press and sound interceptions your point five it was it was uh...

close it was close it was close a couple times uh...

in my office completion presented sixty two point five it was sixty seven you know no no that was wrong it was seventy three [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, there you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, King Miller carry 17 and a half.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was 15.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think he gets it if he doesn't come out of the game early on that stinger on that late drive, but also we had talked about on the watch along and then they talked immediately about it in the broadcast like when he is your only running back, please take him out of the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: And we were up by three scores.

[SPEAKER_00]: You do not need to be running with the man.

[SPEAKER_00]: You've lost your other two running backs.

[SPEAKER_00]: You don't need to lose him too.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that makes sense.

[SPEAKER_00]: Northwestern points.

[SPEAKER_04]: I said 17 and a half.

[SPEAKER_04]: Incredible.

[SPEAKER_04]: 17, baby.

[SPEAKER_04]: Incredible line.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to find a line making.

[SPEAKER_02]: I got a sign.

[SPEAKER_02]: Props S T plus.

[SPEAKER_04]: They called it 17 exactly.

[SPEAKER_00]: I should be a sharpened Vegas.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I need to apply for this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sacks.

[SPEAKER_00]: The line was one and a half.

[SPEAKER_00]: S C had two.

[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Clos, again, yep, to the line.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think good lines all around, all right.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think I did poorly.

[SPEAKER_04]: Again, I don't remember what my picks were.

[SPEAKER_02]: Remember, um, Yep, wrong button.

[SPEAKER_02]: See, I'm pretty sure I did.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not the robber.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, did I do over or under for the past?

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it over.

[SPEAKER_00]: Why is the rudder meter not showing?

[SPEAKER_04]: Preston's stone, I didn't under.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why the thing is not.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is it this?

[SPEAKER_00]: There it goes.

[SPEAKER_00]: There it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's the rudder meter.

[SPEAKER_00]: Hold on.

[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't get the sound.

[SPEAKER_00]: Let's get the sound.

[UNKNOWN]: I had to go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways.

[SPEAKER_00]: There we go.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm obsessed now, there we go, bingo bingo bingo bingo.

[SPEAKER_00]: This router meter is old because it's after the Notre Dame game.

[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't do one after the Nebraska game.

[SPEAKER_00]: We did put out the link.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, in the chat, it's in the show notes, in the doob to do.

[SPEAKER_00]: All those things.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'll go click the link and say where you say the rudder meter should be.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, at least you were, where should rudder meter right now?

[SPEAKER_00]: Probably like a two for you.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, where was my rudder meter before?

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know, but it's, it's, I think you're, you're looking, maybe a 1.5.

[SPEAKER_00]: Where?

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think I was like at a three and I think I'll go like a five.

[SPEAKER_02]: care.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm right in the middle.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm just I'm just I am I'm neither happy nor mad.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm neither stoked nor disappointed.

[SPEAKER_02]: I am just I am I am there.

[SPEAKER_02]: Therefore I am.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think I'm like a 6.75.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's SC has bounced back after the Notre Dame [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how the Brazilians, the Brazilians accent's weird.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how to speak Portuguese.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, they haven't done those things.

[SPEAKER_00]: At the same time, they have the last, the second half against Nebraska, too many end teams, the second half against Nebraska.

[SPEAKER_00]: They did what they needed to do to win the game.

[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't let a backup quarterback [SPEAKER_00]: have his moments, they took advantage of what they needed to do, and they made him look like a backup quarterback.

[SPEAKER_00]: Tonight, they gave up two touchdowns early, but then they held Northwestern to nothing after that.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that's what you want.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we got a super tip.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I don't know if we had any other, that's really, are we missing one?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh wait!

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry, we missed too.

[SPEAKER_00]: Did we miss too?

[SPEAKER_00]: We were, when were you going to remind me that we missed too?

[SPEAKER_00]: Were those like the ones in the very beginning?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, we're bad people.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my God.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sean from beautiful Austin Tech.

[SPEAKER_00]: We love you, Sean.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here's.

[SPEAKER_00]: What are my favorite people?

[SPEAKER_00]: Probably with a favorite robot's ever.

[SPEAKER_00]: And this is not just annoying ass kissing, like, Sean's met Sean a couple of times.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: If you are new here, [SPEAKER_00]: new here in the sense of like we have a lot of people that like didn't find the show until we got on YouTube right.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've been doing the show since 2013.

[SPEAKER_00]: Sean back in the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: I hadn't been to an SIG game and he's an army that and talked about how like it was [SPEAKER_02]: we uh...

we brought him on we did like a like a fancass thing what was it fancass what do we call it yeah it was like a fan uh...

we'd we had of his him it was darlene and i think david no see david on the county yeah um...

you're just like i think we just talked about like fandom and how they became fans and yeah and and then we ended up getting a bunch of people reach out to be like hey i want to like make sure that he gets to a game and so [SPEAKER_00]: We did it like a go-fund me thing and like got him out to the Texas game.

[SPEAKER_00]: We had the heath of our department reached out and like gave me a sideline pass which was awesome.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we got to go to the sideline.

[SPEAKER_00]: The Texas game which SE wins an over time.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, which was one of the highlights of doing this podcast was the generosity of the of the robots coming through and saying, like, hey, we're going to get this guy to take it, we're going to get a plane plane ride, we're going to get in the night before we did a meet up our first ever meet up and it was at dog house, rest in peace.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think it still exists over there.

[SPEAKER_00]: Under the, you know, the corner and gateway gateway.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And that was super funnier, a whole bunch of people, met a bunch of people for the first time, which was, which was the blast.

[SPEAKER_00]: But Chances, I really look forward to the watch alums.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you both.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like watching the game with the buddy who really knows Ball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.

[SPEAKER_00]: We love watching it with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: The story hero or whatever the name ended up changing it to.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we also got a super chat from Dan that says, Northwestern isn't even in the Northwest when we did the big 10 minutes last year.

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't remember what the origin story of their name was, do you?

[SPEAKER_04]: I don't think we just, well, I don't know what we talked about it.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think we just took it for...

[SPEAKER_04]: I remember like a lot of the stuff, and I'm like, what is it?

[SPEAKER_00]: First of all, very U.S.E.

[SPEAKER_00]: like story, except it's Episcopalian, instead of Methodist, and then secularized after that, according to the Wikipedia's.

[SPEAKER_02]: It was in the Northwest Territory of the U.S.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's named for its location as in the Northwest territory.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, because it was founded in 1851.

[SPEAKER_00]: That is amazing.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like when people say that the Midwest isn't even in the middle of the country.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but you have to understand.

[SPEAKER_00]: Pittsburgh was called the Midwest because Pittsburgh used to be the myth like it was like half way of going to the west, which was basically the Mississippi River right.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's hilarious that that's the the origin there so yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, anything else, uh, you got to go over?

[SPEAKER_04]: Uh, didn't we get another super shiver chat?

[SPEAKER_04]: Did we?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, there was a second one from Dan.

[SPEAKER_02]: That's the one we just did.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we did Northwest.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

[SPEAKER_02]: Um, oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: So if somebody in the chat asked what predicting [SPEAKER_02]: U.S.

E.M.

nowhere's it, uh, but, uh, somebody asked, oh, here we go, U.S.

E.M.

E.M.

E.M.

E.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like Louisville is hosting Cal, Virginia is hosting Wake Forest.

[SPEAKER_02]: Vandy is hosting Auburn.

[SPEAKER_02]: Miami is hosting Syracuse.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't expect those games to be losses for any of those teams.

[SPEAKER_02]: If there are upsets, obviously that will move USC up.

[SPEAKER_02]: But the problem that USC has right now is that [SPEAKER_02]: The teams in front of them are not likely to lose, but there are also two teams behind them that have a chance to fall off an offset.

[SPEAKER_00]: If we rank into the AP.

[SPEAKER_02]: I was looking to see if P.

So Iowa plays Oregon.

[SPEAKER_02]: If Iowa beats Oregon, Iowa will jump USC, but Oregon will not fall behind USC.

[SPEAKER_02]: If Missouri beats Texas A&M.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think it depends on that.

[SPEAKER_02]: No, they'll jump USC.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, Iowa, yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: It must have the kick organs asked for organ to fall below us.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yeah, and the same with Missouri, Texas A&M, if Missouri beats Texas A&M, Missouri will jump USC, Texas A&M will not fall behind USC.

[SPEAKER_02]: So there is an actual real life chance that USC falls after this win, because Poles are multidimensional.

[SPEAKER_00]: And BYU and Texas Texas are not going to fall below.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Uh...

[SPEAKER_00]: Teams loose.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but Louisville could lose to Cal Virginia could lose to wake horse.

[SPEAKER_02]: My amy could lose to Syracuse.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like there's there's a lot of things that could happen.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: But if Ole Miss lost to the Citadel, maybe maybe USC jump is in front of them.

[SPEAKER_02]: BYU plays Texas Tech.

[SPEAKER_02]: I doubt the loser of that game falls behind USC either.

[SPEAKER_02]: So USC doesn't have a lot of room to move up.

[SPEAKER_02]: And they don't really like, [SPEAKER_00]: I think at best you stay pat if not move up one we'll say there's not a lot of teams that look vulnerable this week yeah [SPEAKER_00]: LSU is not going to be Alabama and besides they wouldn't have been in the world.

[SPEAKER_02]: I have LSU on my upset watch for Alabama, specifically just because of the interim coach bump, the fact that we're going to see a new LSU offense because they fired their offensive coordinator, um, that team has a lot of talent on in the road.

[SPEAKER_02]: I know I know if it was in Baton Rouge, I would have been much more locked in there, [SPEAKER_00]: I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I [SPEAKER_00]: They lost by seven to Texas, they lost by seven to Tennessee.

[SPEAKER_00]: They barely lost the Florida.

[SPEAKER_00]: They did get jiggle back by A&M.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like, you know, I could see a world in which George is on the ropes there.

[SPEAKER_02]: But it still won't, you know, impact you as you were seeing.

[SPEAKER_00]: Produce always a weird place, but Ohio State does not look remotely like they would be like this is not the Purdue team to beat that Ohio State team.

[SPEAKER_02]: Purdue beating Ohio State would be more shocking to me than UCLA beaten Penn State.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think Purdue has a pulse.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like I don't think they're a bad team, just like, you know, I don't think they are they are two and seven, [SPEAKER_00]: But they are also nowhere near beating anybody, this close to a, necessarily in a rebuild.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, no.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and Syracuse is in a free fall.

[SPEAKER_00]: So is Miami, but Syracuse is in our free fall because they quarterback got hurt and they've gotten blown out five straight games.

[SPEAKER_00]: So they're not beating Miami.

[SPEAKER_00]: Washington, it was constant would be a thing to keep an eye on, but Washington is behind S.C.

and Wisconsin is absolute dog ass.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mm-hmm.

[SPEAKER_00]: So don't think that happens.

[SPEAKER_04]: So again, like I think it's, is it wake at Virginia, is that the one?

[SPEAKER_02]: Wake at Virginia is definitely a potential.

[SPEAKER_02]: Wake at Virginia and cow at Louisville.

[SPEAKER_02]: The problem is if either of those games were on the road, I'd be all about it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: Especially the Louisville game.

[SPEAKER_00]: If that game was in Strawberry Canyon.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you know, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Navy Notre Dame.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think could get really weird.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: Can we talk about Navy Notre Dame?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: This feels and I totally get why the line is what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I get it.

[SPEAKER_02]: It's 27.5 to Notre Dame.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: That might be the most disrespectful line I've ever seen for a seven and one team to get Navy being seven and one and twenty seven point five point underdogs, but then you look at Navy schedule and you're like, oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Navy's weird.

[SPEAKER_00]: They're like, if you, if we wake up on Sunday morning, [SPEAKER_00]: open up the paper, you know, nobody does that anymore.

[SPEAKER_00]: And you look at the scores.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it said that Notre Dame won that game, 55 10 or they lost 17 13.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wouldn't be surprised to do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, because Navy is like, [SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be raining yeah and it isn't South Bend South Bend during the day is not oh it isn't a game though um yeah that's okay if that game was like in Baltimore or something yeah yeah maybe yeah yeah I don't know super chat no super chat from Mary cheers [SPEAKER_00]: uh...

great points with the rankings and thank you thank you guys thank you very appreciate uh...

all right i'm running out of steam [SPEAKER_00]: We've been we've been live for five hours now.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's been a long day I haven't seen my phone in here So there's so many like memes and TikToks again.

[SPEAKER_02]: The funny the funny thing is that like I can mirror my phone on my computer Like I literally have my actual phone in addition to my messages and I do not understand why you don't I I get work computer and all that kind of stuff, but also like the weird part is like [SPEAKER_00]: This podcast run by our employer.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: So like a fan side like me talking about like like not putting my phone on my work computer has nothing to do with like fans added in my employer.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like why would I connect my work computer to my phone?

[SPEAKER_03]: Why wouldn't you connect your work computer to your phone?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because we have group chats that say like [SPEAKER_02]: of reverend things and like what how is that going to end up being an issue on your like how is that going to be a problem like do you think that work is micromanaging and looking at like no though the messages you send to the jiggle bag chat you know the tell people we have a jiggle bag chat and no no like I don't know you share a story and you're like LOL I don't know [SPEAKER_02]: Ramma Murdy says, Kudos to the dogs for being quiet and sleeping.

[SPEAKER_02]: The real MVP is the white noise.

[SPEAKER_00]: We've come up with, I think we have unlocked the solution of the dogs.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think we've done it.

[SPEAKER_02]: Not to get to, uh, not to get to, uh, head of ourselves here.

[SPEAKER_02]: But we think we think we may have figured out the dogs a little bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: The, the solution that we have come up with.

[SPEAKER_00]: is that the dogs, I say dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's bad.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's not Jeffie.

[SPEAKER_00]: Jeffie's a freaking angel.

[SPEAKER_00]: She will be here and not make a peep in the so-and-box at the door, which is how dogs are.

[SPEAKER_00]: She's beautiful and peaceful and all those things.

[SPEAKER_00]: So the dog, meaning badger, we have him in the crate and white noise plain to block out the sound of us.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so he's just an happen and he needs an app anyways.

[SPEAKER_00]: Part of the problem we think he's so ran punctious late at night is because he doesn't have an an actor in the day.

[SPEAKER_04]: He's a he's a sleep deprived toddler.

[SPEAKER_00]: The month is Michael must have put one of one of his old hats in the dog's mouth.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is because I'm wearing an S.C.

hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: The roskey hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: I figured out four shows ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: uh...

uh...

what was the what did i miss but what i i don't know you mean about you figured out for sure but the hats i'm lost i'm lost the amount helped me out here what what's going on i'm reading the the chat i figured out for what what what i figured out for sure i miss where my where is this message at the bottom of the live chat i don't know the most recent things [SPEAKER_04]: Are you not seeing this?

[SPEAKER_02]: No, the last chat I've got is from Lamont saying Michael must have put one of his old hats in the dog's mouth.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then it says I figured it out four shows ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: Beat them.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, hold on.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's saying he figured it out how to deal with the dogs.

[SPEAKER_00]: You beat the dogs?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, what do you say?

[SPEAKER_00]: He's just joking about that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what he said.

[SPEAKER_00]: I still don't see this man.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, about the the hats.

[SPEAKER_02]: Can we tell people my, my, well, I mean, our boss clearly watches the show again and we'll know.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't going to, we can talk about that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, we can talk about your hat calendar.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, I have a hat calendar spreadsheet.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I can tell you what hat, I wore for what episode because I don't want to wear the same hat for two episodes in a row or anything remotely close.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so like I here I just pulled up my spreadsheet here.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can tell you episode 593 on March 19th.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wore my D-back tap.

[SPEAKER_00]: Episode 601 June 12th, my mom's birthday.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wore this roskey hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's the last time I wore it.

[SPEAKER_00]: I also I was thinking about this earlier before we started the pod because I had my red tiger woods hat on for the watch along.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was thinking earlier.

[SPEAKER_00]: What if Jesse Cohen who's over it all the Oli King's been great podcast.

[SPEAKER_00]: We love Jesse Love everybody named Jesse on honestly He has to think where he's got an old crusty [SPEAKER_00]: Kings Devils Cap.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's from the 22, 22, 12, Stanley Cup playoffs.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's Stanley Cup Final with the against the Devils.

[SPEAKER_00]: and he will bring this out as like his lucky hat and it's like it's old and crusty and faded.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's like practically gray, like lightly gray, like it's an old crusty 30 looking hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: So he will bring this out when you need to go to the hat, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: If you listen to Peter Arbygast, they're in the Pete Carroll era, they used to wear Hawaiian shirts under their shirts and when things got a little weird, [SPEAKER_00]: when after my other word of throne, the interception and if Northwestern ends up actually scoring on that play, they would have pulled out the Hawaiian shirts.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know what I mean?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, this was a thing.

[SPEAKER_00]: What if I do something similar?

[SPEAKER_00]: But I wear the SC hat as a sign of it was a good win.

[SPEAKER_00]: OK.

Could that be a bit?

[SPEAKER_04]: could make it a bit with people enjoy it or people think that it's weird or people just not even know.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think you should wear the SE hat if it was a good one.

[SPEAKER_00]: And like and then what and like all three people that are interested with like tuning like what how is he gonna wear?

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god is he gonna what is he gonna do it?

[SPEAKER_02]: That's gonna pull it out.

[SPEAKER_02]: What what what what what what games this year would you have worn the hat and what games would you not have worn the hat?

[SPEAKER_00]: Michigan.

[SPEAKER_02]: You were on that.

[SPEAKER_02]: Would you have worn it?

[SPEAKER_02]: Michigan State?

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_02]: Purdue.

[SPEAKER_00]: I might have won it for Purdue just because it was a road win in the eastern time zone and like, [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe George Sather.

[SPEAKER_02]: No.

[SPEAKER_02]: Is there any?

[SPEAKER_00]: No.

[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: I did get them.

[SPEAKER_02]: Let's do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can't do it every time.

[SPEAKER_00]: You can't just do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Because you didn't ask me to do it.

[SPEAKER_00]: No one had you wore when we met in Arizona.

[SPEAKER_00]: I am 99% sure it was a Renetra hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's sure I wore.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was a plaid, yellow button down shirt.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know this for a fact.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what I wore yesterday.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, well, I know this effect because we had pictures from that meetup.

[SPEAKER_00]: Also, it was the meetup that was literally almost six years ago to the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was November 9th.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was the day.

[SPEAKER_00]: That was the weekend that you came out there as owner.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, I remember everything.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we can.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, what else do we get in here?

[SPEAKER_00]: Anything else?

[SPEAKER_00]: Feel good 50 by this is a good use of your time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm telling you, I like I, if this isn't a sign that I've got the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, [SPEAKER_00]: I've got the list.

[SPEAKER_00]: So, all right.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a bad loss.

[SPEAKER_00]: You have to wear your hat backwards.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a new hat science.

[SPEAKER_00]: No, but shotgun is the backward hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I can't take his bit.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: If we went out, don't change your hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I just we just pick one hat and I just wear that forever.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, that's like me, I, me with like my shirts and stuff.

[SPEAKER_02]: Like I, I try to wear a shirt that USC is worn.

[SPEAKER_02]: The USC is one while I've been wearing.

[SPEAKER_02]: And I try not to wear the shirts that USC is lost while I've been wearing.

[SPEAKER_00]: I will tell you, the stupid thing about the hat thing and about me getting weird about the hat is they do not have the same thought.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I do have the same concern.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I don't have the same diligence about shirts.

[SPEAKER_00]: In part because I have this fear that my people are going to see that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god He's wearing the same trick that he wore for the preview like two days ago.

[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god I have like 38 of these gray car heart shirts.

[SPEAKER_02]: They're all the same shirt Meanwhile, I just have Vnex of Various colors in duplicate.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's all I wear [SPEAKER_02]: He's also the person who has a meeting who will wear one hat in a meeting with his boss and if they get going to another meeting then he will change the hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so let me tell you what happened.

[SPEAKER_00]: I had a meeting with my boss last week.

[SPEAKER_00]: She is a Missouri grad and I see.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I wore this hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's a Michigan hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's very comfortable.

[SPEAKER_00]: I love this hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's so comfortable, but it's a Michigan app.

[SPEAKER_00]: I wore this to that meeting because my thought is it looks like a black am kind of like Missouri.

[SPEAKER_00]: And she starts to call with, are you wearing a Michigan app?

[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm like, I am.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_00]: So anyways, we have a meeting.

[SPEAKER_00]: And immediately after this meeting, both her and I are in another meeting.

[SPEAKER_00]: To the point where like, okay, I'm hopping off this.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, we'll see you in that one.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, cool.

[SPEAKER_00]: Bye.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's one of those things.

[SPEAKER_00]: So last week I did this and I did this week, where as soon as I go from that meeting to the next meeting, switch apps and I'm in the next meeting with the new app.

[SPEAKER_00]: And so I have been doing this bit for two weeks now.

[SPEAKER_00]: Strickly to see how long it takes until she notices that I switch app has between meetings.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think she would notice because she's commented on my hats before because she's noticing what hat you're wearing.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, yes, yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: Does she think you changed out of the Michigan hat?

[SPEAKER_02]: Was it into the Roski hat?

[SPEAKER_00]: Or was it a different member where I wore for the second minute?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, it was done.

[SPEAKER_02]: Does she think you changed the hat because she called it out?

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe, but I did it again this week and I didn't wear the Michigan hat for the first one.

[SPEAKER_00]: For the first one, I wore [SPEAKER_00]: I think I wore my not vintage hat and then for the second one I wore the yard goats.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right people are turning out.

[SPEAKER_00]: We had 155 people in the middle.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're at 150 now.

[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah people.

[SPEAKER_02]: But people really don't like the hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I'm seeing says I have a wrought hat.

[SPEAKER_00]: Awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have my wrought hat somewhere.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I want to do merch again.

[SPEAKER_00]: I need some merch.

[SPEAKER_00]: So we need to figure out how to do that.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's probably something that will have to be a thing in the offseason or something.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's a million things that are on our agenda at the moment.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like packing so we can go out of the country.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.

[SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and we can end on this.

[SPEAKER_02]: Lincoln Riley was asked in his post game press conference about the rumors about him essentially leaving USC.

[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, can I guess what he said?

[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even focused on that.

[SPEAKER_00]: We just want to game by three scores and my commitment is to this program program.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a program guy.

[SPEAKER_00]: To this program and that's what my focus is.

[SPEAKER_00]: I came here to do a job and I'm doing that job and I'm playing from my player.

[SPEAKER_00]: Go to my players and this is my priority.

[SPEAKER_00]: I have no interest in anything else right now.

[SPEAKER_00]: How close was I?

[SPEAKER_02]: You guys know what I sacrificed to come here.

[SPEAKER_02]: I'm where I need to be.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's a pretty good answer.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's a pretty good answer.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Lane Kiffin thing, by the way.

[SPEAKER_00]: of, do you know, I know I heard it.

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't remember it.

[SPEAKER_00]: That Lane Kiffin was like, yeah, like I hope them talked about with these jobs because like that's a sign that we're doing something right and like he went to the players and was like, all of these rumors are because you guys are working hard and because we are all working hard and like I want you basically the crux of the stories like I want you guys to like, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: able to up your life and that you work for everybody in this room, like we're all in it together to like, you know, ambition and all that kind of stuff.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not it's not about me wanting to leave.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's about like the the interest of other people taking notice is a sign of reflection of us doing good things.

[SPEAKER_00]: But but if you're not going to go that route, I think Lincoln's answer is good.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's not one of those where like you throw the tantrum of like why do you even ask any stupid questions, which is just [SPEAKER_00]: coach bullshit, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I think I do.

[SPEAKER_00]: It's farther.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think I say Corbin in the chat says Jesse and Badger bubble heads.

[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm.

[SPEAKER_02]: I think Jesse and Badger merch would uh, it'd be good.

[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like that.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, Friday on MC says bring back the rat shirts.

[SPEAKER_00]: Mark says that I was in my SC pajamas and socks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think I got to wear that next few weeks.

[SPEAKER_00]: Until I see loses with the internet.

[SPEAKER_00]: You got to keep it up.

[SPEAKER_00]: And it keep going.

[SPEAKER_00]: Lamont says I wear my SC socks and shirts for every game.

[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right, what do I have up?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's late.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back Wednesday, but it won't really be Wednesday, but it will be Wednesday for you guys.

[SPEAKER_00]: We're recording it tomorrow after the, [SPEAKER_00]: I will order game.

[SPEAKER_00]: So but Wednesday, check out that, um, am I going to tell you what it, should I say what I said the other day or no, I mean, what I said before the pod today about that episode, or no, could that be weird?
