00:00
There is some college for you. Georgia State visiting Marshall in the Sunbelt tonight minus
00:09
nine and a half for the Thundering Herd and then ACC game Boston College visiting Blacksburg
00:16
to see Virginia Tech who's seven and a half point favorites here with a 48 and a half
00:22
total.
00:24
Yeah, I got to tell you so I'm on I definitely bet Virginia Tech today and I laid the points
00:32
actually, you know, I think they played him there a few years ago. I remember a big game
00:37
on a Thursday night and they beat him like 30 to 10 and Virginia Tech impressed me against
00:43
Miami. They really did and then Boston College impressed me when they played their first
00:49
couple of games right and then they kind of fell back into being Boston College again,
00:54
right that they're not playing. Well, they have a quarterback. I'll give you that much.
00:59
So it is sketchy lay in the seven and a half, but that Lane Stadium will be rocking tonight
01:05
in Blacksburg and I think Va Tech needs this desperately and I think that other games going
01:10
to be wild Marshall and Georgia State. I think they go over.
01:15
Looks like a good over to me as well tonight total written that one. Like I said, 51 and
01:20
a half for Georgia State and Marshall lots of potential for points there. All right,
01:25
most impressive turnaround here as we've hit kind of the halfway point for pretty much
01:30
everybody in college football. We have Indiana at six and oh, they were three and nine last
01:35
year Miami from seven to six six and now BYU six and oh after a five and seven year Army
01:41
and Navy both six and oh and five and oh and then Nebraska five and one great turnarounds
01:46
so far in college football. Well, I think the you know, frankly, the most important
01:52
one to me is is the Miami Hurricanes. I know I'm a Canes fan my whole life, but the reality
01:58
is you know it and so does everybody else if you can't admit the fact that college football
02:03
is better when Miami's good. It's no different than the NBA is better when the Lakers and
02:09
the Celtics are good and that's just all there is to it. I think Miami being undefeated
02:15
and mattering and being in the top 10 being number six pulling a couple of games out of
02:20
their arse. They got a great quarterback. Everyone wants the best teams in college football
02:27
to be at their peak every year and Miami when they're good. It makes college football better
02:32
without a doubt. I actually don't think anyone cares about BYU. I think they're a really
02:39
good team. I like them. They win in Provo and they cover. I don't think anyone really
02:43
cares that Army and Navy are undefeated more people care about the Army Navy game itself
02:51
than they do the fact that both of those teams are undefeated and both of them are ranked.
02:57
I mean, let's face facts if Army and Navy played any of the teams in my opinion in the
03:02
top five or top 10. They're going to lose smashed is what would happen. Uh Stanton walked
03:10
by the way. So first and second with jazz Chisholm up now. This is the end of this rally.
03:17
Christ a lot of confidence in jazz here as he comes up against Boyd with two on and two
03:23
out in the top of the first divorce ahead. I'm surprised he found one off this this Boyd
03:31
as we know, he's usually not long for these games. Anyway, three innings four innings
03:36
and he's and they're racking him up here taking all these pitches. He's already in the mid
03:40
20s in the first inning. So once again, just like the first out looking struck out looking
03:46
at bars. He snuck out looking you go and then he's arguing with the up. It's up already
03:51
given the Yankees the business in the first inning with the call with the bad boy and
03:56
the call on the check swing on judge and the third that's right on jazz was low and
04:01
down and he gave him that strike. So they already are given the the the dugout is given
04:07
this guy heat already. If they keep it up. I won't be surprised. He tosses Boone. That
04:13
was an awful third strike call. That ball was low, very, very low underneath the zone
04:21
bad call by that. Um, so that like you said that I'm off to a very shaky start in the
04:26
business as they go to the bottom of the first in Cleveland. Cam Ward leads the ACC in passing
04:33
yards. He's been unbelievable so far. Of course, Alabama and Tennessee. We're going to talk
04:37
a lot more about all these huge games tomorrow on a Friday, a pain-free Friday going into
04:42
the weekend on coast to coast. They have won nine of their last 10 games against Tennessee.
04:48
The traditional third Saturday in October matchup between the tide and the Vols. That's
04:55
so once again, we will discuss more tomorrow, Tennessee. One thing I'll say about this is
04:59
Tennessee Scott. Remember when they were scoring like 50 60 points every week at the beginning
05:05
of the year. What happened to that? You need to find a they need to find a little bit more
05:08
of that because the last few weeks against Arkansas and Florida, they've lost that love
05:15
scarred 24 points against Alabama. Highest college football coaches this year. Only seven
05:24
reach the 10 million plus Mark this year. Scotty Kirby, smart Dabo, Sweeney, Sarkisian,
05:30
Lincoln, Riley, Ryan Day, Mike Norvell and Kalen DeBoer. Those top seven all make 10 million or
05:36
more. Kelly, Mark Stoops, Lane Kiffin, Eli Drinkwits and Josh Eipel finish off your list
05:43
there. Man, Mark Stoops, nine million bucks a year at Kentucky. Look out. Listen, he doesn't
05:50
deserve it. He doesn't deserve nine million dollars for the job that he does. And let their
05:58
average and they've always been average. And I'll tell you, another guy that's overpaid is Lincoln
06:03
Riley. I mean, he's making a boatload of money and not doing anything. He was better at Oklahoma.
06:10
And what is he doing? USC guys lose big games. That has been a bad investment for USC so far.
06:19
All that money that they've got that money because it's Alabama. I don't think he's worth
06:26
that much money anywhere else. He's not making that kind of money. He didn't make no 10 million
06:32
dollars at Washington. You get that coach in Alabama. You can thank Nick Saban for that.
06:40
Precisely right. That's what you need to do. Here we go. A couple of racks for you here.
06:45
Ramirez still up against Schmitt. Wisconsin at Northwestern this week. A couple of big
06:51
10 games for you. Wisconsin, the road favorite. UCLA at Rutgers. Arizona State visiting Cincinnati.
06:58
South Carolina goes to Oklahoma. Oklahoma minus one and a half. And USC, who we were just talking
07:03
about, seven and a half point favorites going all the way across the country to College Park.
07:10
To see Maryland on Saturday afternoon. Well, they're better than Maryland. I think they'll
07:16
win in College Park. We saw Northwestern win in College Park last week and no one saw that coming.
07:22
But I think Northwestern loses in Chicago to Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin's starting to play
07:27
good football for Fickle. They seem to have found their way. So I'm going to go Badgers. Rutgers
07:34
laid an egg at home the last time they played in Piscataway. I still think they're better than UCLA
07:41
on Saturday. Arizona State is a very interesting team. They're going to give Cincinnati problems.
07:48
I say the Sun Devils go to Cincinnati and knock off the Bearcats. And I'll tell you what,
07:55
I want no part of that Oklahoma-South Carolina game. Oklahoma will win that game because the
08:01
game's in Norman and they'll get all the calls. But Oklahoma looks terrible to me and their
08:05
quarterbacks stink. They're awful. Certainly do. Schmidt did strike out Ramirez. Great pitch too
08:12
to do it, to get the first out of the inning. Another ground out. So they got two outs now
08:18
and they got runners at second and third. Okay, so Naylor grounds out with the fielder's choice
08:24
there. Got to get this next guy to be able to get out of there. Yeah, they weren't going to
08:28
turn two on that one. So nice job by Birdie getting the out. Two down with second and third.
08:34
North Carolina State. NC State's going to Cal. I'll quickly run these in. Houston, Kansas. Baylor,
08:39
Texas Tech. Iowa, Michigan State. And North Texas and Memphis. Actually good game in the American.
08:45
Both have played well. Yeah, look, I think that number's too big in the Memphis game,
08:52
believe it or not. And I think Iowa goes to East Lansing and wins.
08:57
I think they're better than Michigan State, hands down. They're going to get out of it.
09:01
Jazz over at third, throw to first, out, out of the jam. Great job with the defense, especially
09:06
Birdie at first with a snag in the dirt with a short hop. Baylor, Texas Tech. Watch out,
09:12
they're tough to beat in Lubbock. I like the Red Raiders. Houston and Kansas. I want no part of
09:18
that. Give me the under. Kansas sucks. They can't, I mean, they can't cover. They can't win. Their
09:25
girlfriends are ugly. NC State at Cal. They're going to go out to Berkeley and lose to Cal,
09:31
but that's a giant number for Cal to cover.
