00:00
Can't get to Notre Dame, Indiana fast enough tomorrow night. That's for sure after watching some of these games
00:06
James Madison did be Western, Kentucky
00:09
2717 that was the first bowl win for that program
00:13
Of course, they've been in the top level for the last three years finally get themselves a bowl win
00:18
UNLV beat Cal
00:21
2413 as UNLV took over in the second half out in LA
00:26
Calvary that was beautiful. That was a hell of a play call
00:33
That was a tremendous
00:38
It was it was nicely done by UNLV last night that fake fun that they had against Cal
00:43
Only one bowl game for UNLV Mike first time ever. And I mean, that's that's insane
00:50
They had a great season their coach was gone Odom. They still win 11 games and that is just crazy
00:56
Congrats to them the Rebels. They've sucked since I was in my mother's womb
01:00
And look, I think they'll still be good. You know, Dan Mullins a good coach, you know, this is a guy who coached
01:06
Teams in the SEC. He was a great coach in the SEC
01:10
They ran him out of Florida because ten wins wasn't good enough nine ten wins every year wasn't enough
01:15
So they ran him out and they had one ten game sense, but he'll be good
01:19
I saw him out there on the field last night. He was taking pictures with everybody. Dan Mullen will be a good hire
01:25
Out in Vegas for UNLV tonight only one game the New Orleans Bowl
01:31
Down on Burbidge Street at the Dome where Georgia Southern?
01:37
Will take on Sam Houston State now
01:40
Let me give you the laundry list as I like to do for these bowl games. I'll tell you what's going on
01:45
Well, here's Sam Houston's problem their head coach left for the job at Temple. That's right
01:51
Casey Keeler left to go coach Temple. So the offensive coordinator is going to be the interim coach
01:58
Defensive coordinator was hired for the same position, but he'll be bring a number of assistants with them
02:03
He's gonna stay now. There's I believe 20 players are
02:07
20 to 25 players on the transfer portal list for Sam Houston State
02:11
but there are reports that a lot of them are gonna play even though they're in the portal as
02:17
Far as Georgia Southern goes they only have possible. How is that possible that you can say I'm leaving I'm out of here
02:24
I'm gone. I'm in the portal, but you can still play in a ballgame
02:27
Yeah
02:29
There's some pride here. It's the first game I guess ever for Sam Houston
02:34
The players would like to bring that home
02:37
We shall see how that goes. Georgia Southern is pretty clean
02:42
You know, they're only missing one of their best defenders and then everyone else is there clay Helton
02:47
Of course is the coach at Georgia Southern and the numbers for you as of this moment. Here we go, Georgia Southern
02:54
For right now, I know this is moves around three and a half. I've seen it up to four in some spots three and a half
03:02
With the total up up to 48 and a half now in this game. I love the under tonight in this game
03:09
I don't think there's gonna be a lot of scoring me to give me Georgia Southern minus the three and a half in the under
03:13
I'm with you
03:15
Now tomorrow, I know that we're gonna be pumped for Notre Dame in Indiana, but there's two games in the afternoon
03:21
Bowl games for us. The first one's at noon East in Orlando cure Bowl. We're the Bobcats of Ohio
03:29
Taking on Jacksonville State now the of course both schools
03:35
coaches left rich rod went and took the job back at Western, Michigan, so he's gonna be there for Jacksonville State and
03:42
Tim Albion left Ohio to take the job at Charlotte. So both teams without their head coach
03:48
Ohio is the only team without any players in the transfer portal
03:52
They have their entire team from this year Jacksonville State's got about 10 to 15 players in the transfer portal
04:00
Ohio's minus four and a half and the totals 56 and a half a couple things here one
04:05
I still thought Frank Solich was the coach to
04:09
Take one six in a row. They're gonna spank that ass tonight
04:13
The entire team playing I'm on Ohio the Bobcats lay it and I still think Frank Solich is the head coach
04:21
Even though the guy that coaches them gets left for another job. It's still Frank Solich his team
04:27
It's still his team. I like the under in that game, too
04:30
I don't think there'll be points with Jackson. I know Jacksonville State scored a lot. Rich Rod's not there
04:35
I will and a lot of players gone. I'm gonna take the under
04:39
And then and then while we're on tomorrow
04:42
There's a 330 East kick in Tampa at the pirate ship one Gasparilla Bowl
04:49
Which will have Tulane and Florida taking each other on now
04:55
Here we go. Are you ready for all of it?
04:57
Tulane lost their starting quarterback Darian Mensah, who's a really good player
05:02
He went to Duke in the portal already and both backups are in the portal to Tulane will be on their
05:08
Fourth quarterback in this game
05:12
Against Florida. They have a couple guys who start on defense who aren't gonna be there either
05:17
So lots of guys are gonna be missing for Tulane
05:20
Which is why they're getting ten and a half now
05:22
Florida's got a lot of injuries and a lot of guys in the portal
05:25
But as I said to Joey prawns last night on the radio, we were talking about this game a little bit
05:30
I feel like even the second and third string players at Florida
05:35
Would like start at Tulane
05:37
So if I'm second and third stringers on Florida playing second third and fourth stringers on Tulane, I'll take, Florida
05:45
Minus the ten and a half way that Joey prawns is not on, Florida. Everyone's on, Florida here
05:50
They played great for Billy Napier from the midway point of the season when they were gonna fire him, too
05:56
He's not going anywhere and they won some games some big games
06:00
I thought they turned their season around magnificently and I think they're gonna kick Tulane's ass
06:07
He's on Tulane Joey prawns in that game
06:11
It's it's emotional. It's cuz he hates feel like Florida. You know, like Billy Napier. That's the only reason why he's just going after them
06:20
Now tomorrow on a Friday, we will go through all four games in depth one more time and get you ready for the weekend
06:27
I thought just today I would just give you this
06:30
Which is the odds to win the whole thing as we get going and Oregon is the favorite, Texas, Georgia, Ohio
06:36
States, so Ohio State's the only team of those four chalk favorites that are playing this weekend
06:41
And they have to get throw Texas's as well. Excuse me. There's the rest of the list
06:46
Right on down. So Penn State Notre Dame, Tennessee. See they look at the gap between the top
06:52
Six and the bottom six, right? Those bottom six teams are all 25 to one or longer
06:57
Look I think that Oregon and Texas now, I don't know how exactly without looking at it
07:03
It squares up in terms of where they would meet when they would meet in the semis or the final
07:07
But I think those two sides are dangerous. I'm not buying Georgia with no quarterback. No way and Ohio State
07:14
I think their season has been
07:16
bizarre a little bit
07:20
Jinxed like the end of the Oregon game the Michigan game they've had some bad luck
07:26
I don't think they're winning it either. I'm gonna put Penn State and Notre Dame ahead of both of them
07:31
Into the mix with Oregon and Texas
07:33
I have no idea who's gonna win it all but if I had to today the team that no one can stop for my money
07:39
is Oregon
07:40
No one can stop, you know the
07:42
The interesting part is is those top four favorites that they had there those four teams at the top
07:50
Three of them are on the same side of the bracket
07:53
You know, Oregon, Texas and Ohio State are all only one of them can make the final only one can play for the championship
08:00
they're all on the same side and
08:02
Georgia is on the other side and you just said their quarterback is a is a is gonna be a problem
08:07
That sounds to me like maybe we have some opportunity for I think Oregon's gonna personally
08:14
I think Oregon's gonna win
08:14
I think Oregon's the best team or I really do Notre Dame or Penn State in the final because that was a great game with
08:20
Penn State
08:21
Honestly, like I had no problem if that was the championship again
08:24
And I mean and Franklin could figure out a way to make up that Tuddy
08:28
Their quarterback through two picks and I think Notre Dame for my money is better than Penn State
08:34
well
08:34
Remember we mean you talked for a few weeks leading up to this how great it would be if Penn State and Notre Dame played
08:39
In the first round like either in South Bend or in Happy Valley
08:43
Maybe we'll get Notre Dame Penn State in the semis with a chance to go to the championship game
08:49
I mean that could be down the road
08:53
That game would be in the in the semis. You're talking about like the Rose Bowl
08:59
That's that's
09:00
Wherever the semis are which the one they're lined up with would be that's after this weekend
09:06
It's all neutral field after this weekend. These are the only home games are the ones you're gonna have this week
09:11
So tomorrow we'll dive in a lot more
09:14
You said you sent me this story this Netflix thing and I was looking at it yesterday
09:18
So Netflix is gonna have one of these and they do a great job with the golf
09:22
That was great the quarterbacks the NBA they do great with this stuff. They're gonna do one on the SEC
09:28
next year
09:29
Following the league and all their great teams. Here's a problem though. All the best team said no
09:37
Alabama Georgia Ole Miss, Texas
09:40
Oklahoma all the best coaches and the best personality said no, I would want to see Lane Kiffin on that
09:46
I would want to see Kirby smart in Georgia on that and they all are out of it. So
09:51
DeVore I think they should cancel those plans because if all of them are gonna strong-arm the Netflix
09:58
Doc then they should strong-arm them back and say screw it. We're not doing it. We'll do it on the big ten instead
10:04
What are we we're gonna turn that on every week to see what's going on with and I mean no offense to these teams
10:09
But we're gonna follow what Mark Stoops around at, Kentucky or really?
10:15
Like I need to see the heavy guys
10:18
You got to have the board Kirby Lane Kiffin and Sarkisian on that show
10:24
Not have their best guys. It's stupid. It really is what a bad job by them speaking of Alabama their athletic director Greg Byrne
10:31
Did you see him?
10:32
Basically going on social media and begging for NIL money put a link up we could use your help
10:39
Everyone's catching up to us. We need here's the collective
10:43
Alabama in the poorhouse with the NIL
10:46
One like the guy it's like the guy the Santa's outside the supermarket ringing the bell like they're looking for money
10:53
To help keep their players
10:55
mighty, Alabama
10:57
That'd be kidding me
11:00
I did that once my dad made me ring the bell outside of a Kmart. It was the longest day of my life
11:07
Last thing Dion says he's gonna coach at Colorado forever
11:11
Forever he's gonna coach at Colorado and Washington State quarterback John Matthews a very good player is gonna go to, Oklahoma
11:18
And play for the Sooners
