Okay, let's go.
Hey, now in the street there is violence and lots of work to be done.
No place to hang out or wash in.
And then I can't blame all on the sun.
Oh, no, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue and then we'll take it higher. Oh, we're going to rock down to Electric Avenue.
Pardon my take even about martial sports.
Welcome to part of my take. Today is Tuesday, September 5th, and PFT College football is back.
Football is back.
Baby Ball is back.
I have a question for you, big cat, Yes, do you believe now?
Yeah, I believe now, do you believe now? So I wanted to start with Dion, but I want to do even take it to a macro level. The Pack 12 is back.
Oh, okay, fully. So the pack switch the balance of college football. The back 12 is dead.
We know that, but for one last year, they're back. You ready for this stat? This is from Greg Mraz M R O Z.
Greg just like Justin Mraz.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, uh. Since 1980, no conferences ever won their first 13 games of the season. The Pack 12 did it this year.
That's pretty spectacular.
Pretty insane. The last year of the Pack 12 and the Pack 12 went 13 and O to start the season.
Yeah, it's pretty good. I mean, shout out Dion, though. Yeah, nobody believed in Dion. we believed in Dion.
Love it, I know. We picked him off air, we talked about it off the air, we didn't say it on the air. But we believe we believe in Dion, I believe in Travis Hunter.
Oh, I believe in Travis Hunter.
129 snaps.
So he played 129 snaps, he had 11 catches for 119 yards on offense. On defense, he had two tackles and an interception. Now their defense wasn't spectacular, but they did enough to win.
This is a crazy stat. Here, you ready. The last two players with 20 receptions and three interceptions in a season are Chris Gamble and Champ Bailey. Travis. Hunter already has 11 receptions and one interception.
Yeah, it hasn't been done wild, it, what he did, it hasn't been done in 20 years. Uh, Shadour Sanders was incredible 510 yards, four receivers with a hundred yards or more.
Shout out Sean Lewis the O.C. He's a badger from Kent State. He went, you know, he was a head coach at Kent State. Was like, I'm going to go to Colorado and I'm just going to fucking turn this thing up with these guys. That game was awesome. Dion pisses people off so much.
I love Dion Sanders so much because he makes our job easy, because he starts. Dion is basically, uh, the tree of life in avatar for takes, so people get so upset at what Dion's doing, and Dion also like the receipts. And going. And just in attacking reporters, which I love. Then we had an entire discussion about reporters being fan boys and how Dion's wrong for saying that like people doubted him.
That's not their job. And it's like, well, no, Dion's pumping himself up. This is what Dion's doing to get his team motivated, to get his school motivated, to get his program motivated. To. Going from a one win season to then beating the the national UH title runner up as a 20 and a half point underdog at their home stadium week one. It was shocking and awesome and everything. So Dion, the takes that I saw. I have two that I want to share with you.
PFT one is from uh, uh, said Golden. Who? When we started the discussion about fan boys in college football and people being like, Well, we're not supposed to say that, you know, D, like Dion's calling out receipts. That's not our job, our job is to objectively report, and it's it's ridiculous that he would like say this, Uh, said. Golden said. Don't get me started on the blurry line between fans and journalists wearing the team's colors to the game, saying we during reports, et cetera makes.
Me physically ill. He's, you know what he is he, he's. We fended by that.
Yes, yes.
Shout out Jim Harbaugh for the Great Office. It would have offense defense.
We have, we fence Jim Harbaugh, who passed away tragically over the weekend.
Uh, his player, his players went out there and lined up information for him in remembrance of the legacy that left behind at Michigan. It was tragic.
They were in free Harbaugh shirts getting off the bus.
They should have it with a black patch.
He did self-imposed that, that punishment. I know that it's bullshit. We, we, we stand with Jim Harbaugh against the NCAA, but that was by the technical ruling he suspended himself. Yeah, and they were, like, free.
In the big metaphor, this is. It was suey season for Jim Harbaugh. And then they lined up to remember their coach and held four hold their fours up for.
Him in his formation, uh, but yeah, the the journalists are very upset. It's physically ill, he said. Golden is is has his head next to Ben Verlander in the toilet, right?
I'm going to be sick, yeah.
They're like, here, you hold my hair about this. yeah, I hold your show, hey. And and people rooting for journalists, rooting for team.
So I don't mind what? What Deon did, which is basically took some questions. And then if he didn't like what the journalist had written, he'd be like, I saw what you wrote about, he basically said, You're fake news. Next question And if the reporter prognosticated this game, got it wildly incorrect, what was going into it? Then? Deon has every right to be like, you don't know what you're talking about.
And again, he's using it as motivation for himself. This is how Deon runs, like this is, this is what you get. He's very transparent with who he is and it works.
And the funny part is, you'll, you'll get people that stand up for the journalists, because, you know, journalists overall have an important job to do in society. I would say, if they do it correctly and they do it well. But you can't get mad at Deon Sanders for not answering questions when you then get to go ahead and you write 700 words about Deon Sanders, not answering questions. Because you're, you're, you're fulfilling your own content right there.
Exactly back to the Deon, Sanders is a tree of life. Yeah, for takes, he keeps the world going.
Yeah, so there he's, well within his rights to be, like, I'm not answering your question. It's like when Marshawn Lynch before the Superbowl was like, I'm just here so I don't get fined. And all the reporters are like, I can't believe this.
This guy won't let us do our jobs. I know what I'll do. I'll write 2000 words about how he won't let us do our jobs. Boom, he gave it to you when Cam Newton when he didn't answer questions after the Superbowl. What a what a classless piece of shit that guy is.
I can't believe, I can't follow a column, I'm on deadline. Oh wait, I'm currently typing my take right now about how Cam Newton is a classless piece of shit.
Yes, Dion, the journalists should be thanking their lucky stars that Dion Sanders is part of college football because he makes it more fun.
I'm sure it doesn't feel good not to have a warm, fuzzy relationship with the coach of the school that you cover.
Should've said they were going to win, you should just suck his dick. Yeah, you should've said it, should've put on a jersey and said they were going to win.
Look, this is it's not, it's not rocket science what you have to do here. There's a reason why we just kiss all of our friends asses all the time.
We come in, we come and we came. Yeah, I think Dion said that afterwards, yeah.
That's vinnie, vinnie, vinnie. I came, I came, I came, yeah.
Uh, the other one, this one, this one was great. So there was also, like, Dion obviously said something about how he pisses people off, uh, because his Black head coach was 75 African-American team. I think he again. I think Dion is using everything just to motivate himself and his team, which I love because it works, that's what he does. So then there became a whole discussion about that.
And, uh, there was videos of TCU students saying, Fuck you Dion Sanders before the game. There also was a video that was incredible of the Of TCU student section saying, Throw it to Hunter, throw it to Hunter. And then Travis Hunter made the goal line interception, which was an incredible play, which that was beautiful, beautiful karma.
Credit to the person that was taking that video, too, because they had the presence of mind to reverse the camera angle right after the interception. And all the kids were like, just stone faced, like, Oh my God. And then somebody goes like, who said that?
Who's the guy who's holding the camera? He's like, who said it, put your hand up? So anyway, uh, a big discussion started. And then Clarence Hill Junior tweeted this out, um, which he then deleted, Uh, because he got just dunked on royally. But he said, You think opposing fans tell Nick Saban or Mack Brown f word you?
He wrote out Word f, Word you before the game. Or is that reserved for Dion Sanders? I've been on sidelines before and I haven't heard it. The very first reply was from 2014, when, on this the CBS Game of the Week, the loudest Fuck you Saban chant was happening in Baton Rouge. And then he was like, Oh, whoops, I probably fucked this up.
But again, Dion Sanders take machine like. I love that everyone, no matter everyone, has a feeling about him. And they're like, let me get some takes off. And they're usually wrong and stupid, but they're great for the ecosystem.
And he's great for the sport. Yeah, he's awesome for the sport. We love having these, these polarizing coaches that you can get your takes off about. So I'm glad I'm, I'm happy to see what Dion did.
Um, you know what? I think they're going to win by 30 next week in Nebraska. I'm just going to say that that way, Dion, you hear me saying this, you can't get mad at me.
I'm on your side, you're going to win by 30 against Nebraska.
It's also the minute. I don't think Colorado is going to go undefeated. I probably shouldn't say that, but I do. I have a very tough schedule, okay?
I think they will already.
Dion has proven that he's turned this whole thing. They won one game.
Well, so, a lot of the conversations about Dion. Rightfully so, but his son is one of the best quarterbacks in the country.
Now it looks like everyone was asking, Can he take the step up? And he did that, like, more so than than we all expected. But, uh, people will. When Dion takes his first loss, the world will come at Dion, and that's how this goes. It's just a pendulum that's going to swing back and forth.
There's going to be so much fun to watch it. We are Dion guys, I'm hoping they go undefeated, but you know, that's coming, but Dion doesn't care. No, he doesn't.
He knows that that's coming, he knows that he talks shit and that, but he backs it up more times than not.
That's going to give them more motivation, correct? They do start.
We're going to have to come again.
They're going to get better once they start losing, it's going to be wild. So, yeah, people are saying that. I saw a lot of takes out there about how TCU's defense sucks and how, you know it's. This isn't indicative of what they'll be able to do for the rest of the year. And they had the recency bias of the last game that TCU played, where they got smoked in the natty.
Um, but according to Jim Nagy, who runs the Senior Bowl. They've got like three or four future N.F.L. players in their secondary, right? So they're actually not that bad of a defense. They're a little bit undersized up front, but that's where if you're talking about like their secondary, they're they're very talented. So this was not, yeah, this was not a fluke. Shador Sanders is a fucking monster quarterback.
He's going to be very, very good.
Really good, yes. Um, all right.
So other stories also. Those white colorado uniforms looked awesome now that they look clean. They look like shit when they're when they're getting their asses kicked, but when they win wearing those, they look really good.
It's also very funny. Um, and this isn't supposed to be against Nebraska because they should have won that game against Minnesota, that was unfortunate. They somehow figured out a way to get Matt Rule, who is going to probably write their program and then just play the most Scott Frost game ever. Uh, they got to just flush that out of their system.
But it is very funny that Nebraska Colorado, which used to be like a great, great rivalry. Uh, that's going to be a huge, huge game on Saturday and Colorado's back before Nebraska is.
Yeah.
Like, they somehow beat them back. A team that had no hope and was like, in utter despair has beaten Nebraska to the back meter. And and maybe Nebraska can win on Saturday and that they get more back. Uh, but right now, Colorado is more back than Nebraska.
Yeah, now Texas wins on Saturday, they're more back than Colorado, I think.
Oh yeah, Texas and Tuscaloosa, for sure, absolutely.
We were on backwatch right now, yes.
Um, other other big moments. Florida State is back. Yeah, that was an incredible second half against LSU. Uh, I, I listen. We love the people of Louisiana, we love the fans of LSU. But this is the same conversation we had last year. You got a coach that is probably the least likable person in the world, uh, outside of maybe Urban Meyer.
And so when they lose, like, I feel bad, yeah, Bill Cosby, maybe like, we're, yeah.
Yeah, they're, they're all the it's a. it's a short list, yeah.
In terms of football coaches, though, he's probably the most leaks, least likable, uh, football coach in college football right now. So when you lose, I can't feel bad cause I just Brian Kelly's so unlikable as a person. Uh, and I do feel bad for LSU fans cause I love LSU fans. But this is the you went from, like the most likable guy in Coach O to Brian Kelly.
And so when you lose on a national stage, there's a little bit of like, look at Brian Kelly and his mad face.
For sure, it was, it was an ass kicking. In the second half, LSU came out the gate strong. When they didn't score on that first drive, where they had, they got down to the goal line. Pretty much that was. That was a bad miss.
It went downhill from there. Their offense didn't look good for the rest of the game, yeah.
I was stupid analytics, by the way, that was just going four downs and only running it on first down, yeah.
Come on, come on, guys, come on. I was watching it with hard factor Will, who is an LSU alum. He went with us to the national championship that they won, uh, done in Louisiana.
And he very unironically was screaming at halftime like Fire, Brian Kelly's ass, get his ass out of here. I don't know if that's the majority opinion of LSU fans, but I do know that like they're. They don't like losing with Brian Kelly as their coach, they can. They can tolerate losing with coach O as their coach. As long as they're building towards something. But any small mistake by Brian Kelly is going to be magnified. They're like this, this fucking carpet bagger coming down here and ruining our football program, get the fuck out.
So they don't, they don't officially, they don't want them out. It's not the vast majority opinion, but I do think that if he, if he doesn't have a big season this year. You will hear some serious discussion about how much will it cost to get rid of it?
It's the winning cures, all you you. If you're an LSU fan, you suck up the fact that you're hiring Brian Kelly, who's not likable. To basically be like, we're going to win a national title, but you did win a national title with coach O, so it's like, fuck.
Yeah, and they won one with Les Miles, who was likable, yeah.
So there's a saban, somehow.
There's a reason why Les Miles stuck around year after year of just the most, uh, like the hugest brain farts ever at the end of multiple games per season. And that was because they liked him down there. Yeah, Louisiana liked Les.
I'm still rooting for LSU in spite of Brian.
That's how much we like. L. S. Yes.
But, uh, Florida state was incredible, that turnaround has been awesome. KeON COLEMAN Uh, who? I did. I did have to tweet out, Tuck coming, cause that that's tough.
He, he, he transferred from Michigan State. He looked incredible, three touchdowns, high point, King, he was just high, pointing the ball all over LSU's cornerbacks. And then his mom afterwards had one of my favorite quotes ever.
So Ross Dellinger wrote about this in Yahoo. Uh, Keon Coleman's mom said, Cause he's from Louisiana, he's from not too far from Baton Rouge. He wasn't even offered, wasn't offered, wanted to play basketball and football, uh, and his mom said after, Oh, it was good, especially against LSU.
God is blessing him, God says to make your enemies your footstool, and he did it.
I, Yeah, I never heard that.
I never heard God say that.
Um, I had that note. He did. Yeah, it's in the, it's actually in the Bible.
God is no different than like, Uh, hazing, it's sigma chi, God's. Make your enemies your footstool.
God says that they hate us because they ain't us.
Yeah, I just like, I might get that as a tattoo. God may said. Make your enemies your foot.
There's a lot of parts of the Bible that we don't hear about that much, that they just don't teach you.
No, I missed that one, but I mean, it's a great quote. I'm going to shout out God for saying that.
Like, that's fucking no respect.
Like, God had, I mean, I don't even know they had that type of furniture back then.
He's the original top G god.
God said, Go to West Elm, get a fucking footstool of your enemies.
Psalm One 10, Verse one The Lord says to my Lord, Sit right, sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
Bang.
That's a bar, let's go.
Let's go so, yeah. Florida state, though, looks for real, and Jordan Travis is very, very good. Um, all right.
Other So we started with talking about the Pac 12, The PAC 12 on Friday officially, officially is dead. Uh, because Stanford and Cal and SMU are joining the ACC, which is basically like, these three schools were like, we need a home so badly. They're taking way less money. I think SMU is not taking any TV dollars for the first nine years.
And Cal and Stanford are taking like half TV dollars for the first, like seven or eight years. They basically just like, we need a home. And even SMU. There was a quote that SMU was picked because for Olympic sports they'll meet in the middle and compete in sports. So SMU is literally like, okay. Well, we found a place that they can just like, split it halfway.
They're going to compete in Dallas, yeah.
They're going to do, they're going to do, like swimming in Dallas, yeah.
You know, there are a lot of sports that Stanford is really good at, that don't include basketball and football.
They win that cup, whatever the fuck it's called, I don't know what there's like a, uh, Champions Cup.
Capital one, I think.
Yeah, the dumbest thing ever. Where it's like, if it's how many sports you win in national title, you have cross country like the best.
Athletic school in the country and sports that nobody really pays that close attention to. And it's funny, cause they're joining the ACC. We, I think we first speculated on that a few weeks ago and how ridiculous that would be to have. Like the Ocean Conference, where it's just the coastal conference meeting each other. And then I was looking at a map and I was like, you know, oceans don't have boundaries, like it's all one body of water.
It's all one water, like they're touching each other. Who's to say What's Atlantic? what specific? It's all the same ocean.
Except SMU, who's just there in the middle.
They're just there in the middle for swimming for everyone.
To get there and compete.
But the I'm looking forward. So if you look up the stats, women's soccer, UNC Stanford two best programs in the history of college sports.
It's going to be great. Who said conference realignment was bad? Rivalries back on?
Yeah.
The, um, the the only other wrinkle that I'm. I'm just hoping this happens. So Oregon State and Washington State are now screwed, they're totally left out. There is a rule in N.C.A.A where you have to have at least eight members of your conference to continue being a conference. But you get a two year grace period to try to figure it out.
They need to just do the Pac two next year. Yeah, it would fucking rule. So the North Division and South division, they have to do this. They have to keep the Pac two alive for at least one year.
And they should have a championship game, yeah, they should have a conference championship, yeah.
They should just play a round robin at the end of, like in November.
Do you get an automatic Bowl qualification if you win your conference? Sure, that's great.
I don't think so, but yeah, yeah, maybe if you win your conference championship, you still have to be well, no, I. Now they make polls like five and seven, get a bowl.
Some of them do, yeah, yeah. Unless you transferred into Division One in the last two years, then you're not allowed to. But we need that.
We need that. Um, all right, other other big stories. I have a horniest dudes if you can, if you can make a decision on this. uh, horniest dudes that we saw on Saturday. URBAN MeYer Uh, getting caught, uh, hitting on a co-ed uh at halftime right before he was supposed to go live.
Uh, we have Hugh Freeze getting himself back in the mix right away. Wins one game against Umass. And starts replying to women on Twitter being like, Come on, it's war eagle. All the time. When, uh, I think some reporter, Madison Gilbert said, like, who should I root for, LSU or Florida state? And he's like, why not Auburn? That wasn't the question.
You, uh, and then we have, uh, South Carolina. Shane Beamer, Uh, he was. He somehow didn't blame himself whatsoever, to the point that he blamed, uh, the chain gang for eating a hot dog. At halftime and not being set for their onsite kick, which they did recover.
So I heard that that was some sort of tradition where they eat hot dogs at halftime there.
I don't know Shane Beamer. All I know is in a horny world, Shane Beamer was just walking, watching another dude angrily eat a hot dog.
Yeah, and then blame them, yeah.
And then the last one is, uh, myself for, and quakes for, uh, Sam Pittman's tits.
I don't know if you guys saw, I didn't see Sam Pittman.
I'll text you right now. Okay, it's, uh, more than popping PFt.
Like, he's got a great set.
I think, I think Quake said. The Sam Pittman's tits got me barking and I was like, Yeah, you're right dude. They are. It's I'm a little worried.
Like, they're so big that I might, I don't know what's going on. We are Sam Pittman guys, but, uh, here I just texted the group texts zoom in on Sam Pittman's. He's with the Huckabees too, so you'd think that he wouldn't have the biggest tips.
Let's see.
He's, he's got some tits, yeah.
Oh, wow.
He's got a rack, dude, like he's stacked. Look at that mincey build.
You think he wears a bra? I don't know, but cause I can't see any nipples.
I saw him and I zoomed in. I was like, Wait, am I horny for Sam Pittman's tits? I think I am.
Mike Huckabee looks old, though.
Doesn't he those tits, though, dude?
Huckabee looks looks like a mix of my old Mike Huckabee and and, uh, Kenny Rogers, yeah.
Those are so who who's horniest dude?
Um, hmm, I'm going to go with Urban Urban a lifetime Achievement Award and being horny goes to Urban Meyer. He was just, he was just chatter up, he was risen up.
I do like you freeze, just being like, now that I'm back, I'm all the way back now.
That I'm not at liberty anymore, I am at liberty to be horny.
You know, you freeze. Feeling himself, he's like, Oh, this is good, he's in my swagger.
He's in a hospital bed for Priprism, just give him the thumbs up for hours, ain't shit.
Oh, um, all right, other things I wrote down. Oh, Iowa. First opening touchdown. uh, opening drive touchdown pass to start the season since 1991..
That's pretty impressive.
That's insane.
Let's go.
They scored a touchdown on their first two drives, then they just went back to Iowa offense. And for people who don't know, one of the best storylines this year is Brian France. Uh, the son of Kirk, their head coach, Uh, he's the offensive coordinator. Max just dropped everything.
And, uh, in his contract, Iowa has to win seven games this year and they have to average 25 points a game. Can be defensive, too, and if he doesn't do that, he loses his job. So it's basically they scored, they scored 24 this week, so that's that's tough.
When you, when you need that, like first, that first week of the season, you need to put up some points to, kind of, you know, pad the stats. But it's a great storyline to watch. Like to have that.
Type of, he's on like, Yeah, he's offensive. Explosion at Iowa. Yeah, uh, I have a I have a fuck head of the week. okay, my I. There are no nominees.
There's just one person, Yeah, Thomas for Nelly, yeah, recurring guest.
A part of my take. He came on, gave his his week preview, week one preview. And he gave a game of the year, right? He said he wanted to make it a game of the year.
He didn't go all the way to Game of the Year.
He gave, he gave Texas Tech to Whomp, Wyoming, he said. I bought it at 10, I bought at 11, buying it at 14, I'll buy it up to 20 if I have to. They go to Laramie and they lose, and they lose, and they lost.
And it was bad, and it was it was a bad game, it was a bad call. Now, Tom does have a notes app. Apology to his credit. He, if nothing, he's a man with integrity.
Uh, the title of the Notes app was just, I'm sorry. I would like to issue an apology to the Big Cat, PFT, Max Jake and the AWS for saying Game of the Year in relation to Texas Tech. Minus 14. During my appearance, on part of my take, he didn't, he didn't mention Hank. Interesting.
Well, it was the same person.
This is totally on me and I accept responsibility. I also acknowledge that Texas Tech had a 17 to nothing lead and totally blew it. So it's really their fault, but this is on me. I accept my four day suspension. Um, it was I, I believe, I, uh, I, I said that it was at all Italians.
Suspension banning Italians from part of my take for four days beginning Saturday. Yeah, so starting on Wednesday we can have Italians back on the show if we have to.
Yes, the UM. I banned him for Monday's episode.
He gets so he can't listen.
Couldn't listen to Monday's episode, Uh, the The Lost tapes. The only thing that makes me feel better is that, uh, it is Tom's job. And he went, I think, one in 11 on Saturday. Um, so it made me feel a little better. That he, you know, like, if he. There's nothing worse than someone giving you a pick, it losing. And they'd be like, Well, dude, I went like 10 and two, what are you talking about?
But Tom also, like, I do believe in Tom, I trust the process. He's going to have a good season. He even went out tonight and he gave out a pick. Clemson over 34 and a half team total, and the score right now is Duke 21, Clemson seven.
Well, it's only like the first quarter, right?
No, there's 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Oh, shit.
Fuck.
All right, so what are we? What's our plan? Because it's very rare that you get an opportunity to either tail somebody entirely. The pendulum swings. Are we going to fade all of this picks next week?
No, you have to tell him, listen, I got my my my teeth kicked in on Saturday. It was like, I actually had a moment, um, that I'm not very proud of, because I told my wife. I was like, I'm not in football shape, and she was like, What do you mean? And I was like, my eyes just hurt so bad from watching all this football today.
Like, and I lost so many bets, I got to get back in football shape. And she was like, What are you talking about? So I I feel the pain that Tom felt in a different way at different picks, but they all lost as well. I think you gotta, you gotta, you gotta follow him next week.
I actually, I actually kind of agree with that, because it's going to be a lot, it's going to be a lot of fun. If I tail him and he goes, like, Oh, and 13 again, right?
You can't. He will correct, he will correct. Tom's good, it's, it's, it's time to hop on, and it's also just like that.
That's how gambling works.
It's week one for bloggers, too.
Also, shout out all the people who, for the three years that Penn owned us. UH, claimed that I lost on purpose, so that people would lose money, uh. One week into the college football season, I think I'm down 15 units, so ha ha, gotcha.
It looks like I'm just a bad gambler. It wasn't a bit, it was. It would have been great though, if I went scorching hot and everyone's like, Dude, you were doing that as a bit, you were losing money as a bit. Uh, no, I lose money, uh, every Saturday and Sunday as probably the my favorite hobby.
Yeah.
I mean, it was my favorite hobby.
Listen, I, I. I've never had so much fun losing money as I did on Saturday. It's mostly due to Tom. I did, I did go nuclear on that play, but overall it's hard to win in week one. You haven't seen anything yet, you got nothing, but you know what?
I blame the media, I blame the media for losing almost every bet week one because I listened to their advice and their off season takes.
And also shout out like, my whole day was just trash. I watched games start to finish, uh, from starting at 11 a.m. all the way till the night games. And the Penn State. James Franklin still running his offense at the end of the game to cover against West Virginia. I like, smiled. I was like, this is why I do it, as I counted how much money I lost that day, but I was like, But I won that one.
He knows, and that's the thing I don't. It's not against the law if you're a coach to. To have in the back of your mind the understanding that your alumni are betting on you to cover the spread, and then you keep your offense on the field to cover the spread. You're not betting on it, but you are establishing an enormous amount of job security.
If they can trust that, you'll push them over the edge whenever they back.
Yes, Drew Lair is very, very good. Max Max is back by the way.
We'll talk to Matt, Let's let's let's save the Mount Rushmore talk and Vacation talk for after Field Yates. But Drew Lair is awesome.
Uh, yeah, best, best quarterback, Penn State quarterback, I think I've seen in my lifetime. Whoa?
Oh, Christian Mettenberger.
Okay.
Christian Hackenberg he was. Was he a second round pick?
I think so.
That's insane.
I mean, he was just he was prototypical, big 10, big, tall, strong arm guy.
That is insane that he was a second round pick.
Well, he was supposed to be like the next Peyton Manning.
I stayed a year too long, or I don't know if he could have even left. No, I remember I remember him being like, having all the hype and then him staying and be like, whoa, what is this?
Did he ever play? Did he take a snap in the NFL?
I think he did for the jets, right?
I don't think he did, yeah. Second second round pick, 51st overall.
Yeah, he started, I don't know.
He didn't play his middle name.
Three games in the AAF in 2019.
His middle name is Blaze.
Oh, that's fucking that is worth a second round pick right there.
It drew out or better got to take a shot.
Oh, Drew hours. Awesome. Uh yeah, it doesn't look like he played jets.
That's funny. Memes. Um, all right, yeah, other things. uh, I don't want to root for. uh, all right. Hank, you're doing your you're doing your bar big 10 thing, right?
So you're going to go to a different Chicago bar for Big 10 team starting at some point for this weekend. Okay, uh, I want to just throw this out there. I know you probably don't care about it, Indiana.
I didn't know this till till, uh, today or yesterday. Indiana has a McMahon on their team. Shane McMahon's son is on Indiana. He's, What are you doing?
Jake?
Jake wanted my laptop charger.
So okay, uh, Indiana has a McMahon on the team, and and Shane McMahon gifted Indiana a takeaway belt, like a real wrestling belt. So that has to help a little bit. Definitely, they're not good, but having a McMahon makes them awesome.
And I saw, like, there was a picture. Some fan took a picture of Shane walking into the stadium and like, Indiana gear, and I was like, Fuck, I'm kind of like, Indiana now, that's how much I love Shane. Oh, Mac.
It'd be very funny if Hank moved all the way here from New Jersey and just pick Rutgers.
Oh, they looked good, they did.
Well, they beat my wildcats. I was heartbroken, it was weird.
I didn't. Did you, did you tweet about the wildcats at all?
No, I, I. Frankly, I think that what happened with our football team this last season was disgusting. I don't, I don't enjoy talking about my. The only time I'll talk about my Northwestern wildcats will be to admonish them and admonish the entire football team.
Cause I noticed you hadn't tweeted about them. So I was like, Oh, he and Ravel must've done a vow of silence on Sunday. Oh, that's what we do, very weird, that's what we do.
Very weird.
We're boycotting it, yeah.
It that isn't, that isn't that interesting.
It is interesting I'm on the group chat right now. It's me, Ravel, Mike, Wilbon and Greeny, and uh, Greeny's got his hands full right now, cause he's got Ankh walking into the studio.
He's got a whole, a whole thing going on the Seaport, so Greeny's, he's focused on the jets, that's that's what we're saying right now, Greeny's in NFL mode.
Yeah, um, all right, other things, I mean, I, I really am. I do think the Pack 12, like, won the weekend.
Uh, cause Washington looked awesome, Oregon put up a fucking billion against Portland State. DJ looks good, he had a he had like 20 seconds on every pass, but he still looks good.
You know, Clemson's offense, could you use somebody like that?
Yeah, they could. Clemson Dabbo hot seat, I'm saying it.
Well, okay, so I would, I would toss Dabbo into the conversation of least likable college football coaches.
Oh, yes, that's right. We did miss him. Yeah, yeah.
We went sideways. When you said, Cosby, Yeah, it's cause then I was like, Wait, Brian Kelly, Urban Meyer, Cosby.
I mean, if he coached Temple.
It would be a discussion. Um, and then, last thing, Georgia memes would you like to disavow? Oh, the driving? yeah, so Georgia had, uh, a staffer. Jarvis Jones got a speeding, uh ticket, and that is their 15th speeding or reckless driving charge since the terrible tragedy that happened in January 15. That's pretty insane.
Well, you got arrested.
Yeah, but that's pretty insane.
Yeah, yeah, it wasn't just a ticket. You got arrested.
I'm like 15.
After an accident, Kirby Smart denied that. There was a problem in March and then in July, I was like, Yeah, there's a problem. It's like we have way too many speeding.
It's the Sec speed, baby, yeah.
Like, so memes, yeah, they got a new driver's hit, okay, like, can they put, like a can they put something in everyone's car that it can't go, like, just give golf carts or mopeds?
Yeah, mopeds don't go fast like rollerblades. 45. Yeah.
You should have the defense, just get around campus on blades bikes.
Yeah, um, okay, it was fun, though. College football's back, it was very, very fun to watch.
Also, Mizzou's head coach, Oh, he could have been in Horniest as well because he was talking about one of his players. And he was like, Uh, when my daughter becomes of age, I would love for her to date him.
Yeah, it's always a weird thing to say.
What you remember?
It was, it was, um, I want to say, the National Championship, where it was Florida and Oklahoma, and, uh, maybe it was Herb Street or Fowler, whoever was calling that game. Just went on a diatribe about how much you would. You want your daughter to date a guy like Tim Tebow, which you can kind of understand that, cause he's not going to have sex with her.
But yeah, very weird, very strange. Just say like, Oh yeah, my underage daughter. I can't wait till she turns 18 and then maybe she'll date him, yeah.
Very strange.
That's the highest compliment you can give a guy, I guess.
I guess so, but it's also kind of it's also kind of a diss. And he's like, Oh, you're not, you're not a threat.
Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah, you're a nice guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Um, did you okay? So yeah, I think that's it, I think that's. We got some who's back and we're going to do and then we have field dates, what we needed.
That, uh, same faces different places. Powerpoint for college football. I mean, it's insane the amount of transfers, uh. Emory Jones, Cincinnati.
Yeah, yeah. JT Daniels Rice.
Keyed on Slovis on Byu yup.
How many schools has J? Is this J.T. Daniels fourth school?
He's played in every school in in FBs.
Good for him.
Yeah, and keyed on. Slovis, who's recurring guests, also has played on a lot of schools. He was at West Virginia last year. No, he's a pit, it was a pit.
New J.T. Daniels was at West Virginia.
Yeah.
And now he's on rice.
Yep.
Yeah, crazy, it is there. The transfer portal does get a little confusing with all these names.
Um, okay, do you want to do a moment of silence for Jimmy Buffett?
Yeah, that was sad.
Very sad.
That was sad.
Friday night, old old Jay Buff passed away.
He did go out at the end of summer, he did play it fitting, he did, although we talked about this dying right before football season. It's the worst.
I died the week before football season started. Like, Dude from Smash Mouth has got to be just turning over right now.
Jimmy Buffett saw Nebraska, Minnesota, that's that was it.
That's awful, but maybe. SaiNts Team of Destiny Jimmy Buffett, Huge Saints fan, He's on the sidelines for, like all their home games every year. Jameis Winston put out a fire tweet just like RiP King of him and Jimmy, Jimmy Buffett was just an all time.
Good dude. yeah, he just dudes, rock dude.
He made Asian king.
He made billions of dollars off just having fun and just like telling people, Hey, I like to have fun and drink.
And the best part is, he was like a workaholic.
Yeah, but he worked hard.
He worked so hard, I did.
Yeah, he worked so hard at vacationing, right? I would like to see that out of Hank, yeah.
Right now you kind of go on vacation, you fit, you take a vacation from your vacation while you're on it.
Jimmy Buffett's also one of those guys. Uh, you can't put on one of his songs and not be in a good mood. No, it's like, it's just the minute it hits, you're like, man, that that's fun. I want to drink.
I tweeted out the story about Jimmy Buffett, which I learned this last summer I was in Jamaica for a wedding. I think you'll appreciate it. It's a crazy like, it's the ultimate Jimmy Buffett story.
He was flying, he was a pilot, right? So he was flying his little plane around through, uh, through Jamaica. And he had Bono on the plane with him, and he was like, Hey, Bono, I know this great jerk chicken shack that we got to stop by.
It's right off the bay, right off Montego Bay. So Jimmy Buffett lands his plane in the bay so that they can get out and get some chicken as they're landing. The Jamaican military opens fire on his plane and tries to shoot him down with automatic rifles and shit. he lands the plane.
There's bullet holes everywhere in it and he, they all hit the deck. They get boarded by the Jamaican military and they get on the plane and they're like, Oh fuck, we just shot at Jimmy Buffett and Bono, and so they were like, apologizing so hard.
They were afraid that they were going to all lose their jobs, probably go to jail. And Jimmy was like, You know what? I've, I've gotten away with a lot of dumb, illegal shit that I've done in my life. This is just kind of like a little bit of karma. It's probably good if I don't go at them for this, I'm just going to write a song about it.
And he wrote a song called Jamaica Mistaka and it was a fucking smash hit. And he just went on with his life. And then and then everybody from that point on Jamaica. They're like, Oh, Jimmy's back in town. Let's make sure we treat him right and not try to shoot his plane out of the sky.
Make a mistake.
It's also, yeah, it does. It's also crazy to think that back then people would try to shoot your plane down if you thought you had weed on it.
Yeah, I know, especially going to Jamaica.
Yeah, what the fuck wild?
Uh, yeah, Jimmy Buffett, though, all time guy, all time dudes rock guy.
Yes.
Like just a king of vacation, of good times, of just feeling good, like when you, like, I said, when you hear the song, you're just like. I was at the Cubs game and he did this, he did, uh, they. They replayed it his seventh inning stretch, which was a nice tribute, but they were playing Jimmy Buffett throughout the game. And five o'clock, somewhere like, came on. I was just like I was with my son.
I was like, I want to get fucking blacked out right now.
Yeah.
It's like, I want to drink.
It's, it's, it's fantastic stuff. So, um, had a great time at his Margaritaville time Square Resort. Went with Donnie about a year and a half ago and I know they just shut it down. But if you're listening to me, if anybody knows where? The giant, like 30 40 foot statue of liberty that they had inside in the foyer that had it, had a, uh, a margarita glass instead of the torch, with sharks swimming around in it. If anybody knows where that is, I'd be very interested in purchasing it.
Yeah.
We'll put it in the new office, the new office, more than enough space.
I can't imagine that there's a big market out there for that, but I want to, I want to throw my name in the house.
Absolutely, I will help fund that, we will absolutely buy that. No, no question. Um, okay.
Let's do Who's Back? And then we have field yates with a big time NFL preview.
No joke. I think I might have a cane sauce problem. I was at raising canes the other day, getting my box combo with extra sauce on the side. Like usual, I have an order when I eat my canes, it goes. Crinkle, cut fries, chicken fingers, the Texas toast and finish strong with the slaw.
So I start eating and before I know it, I'm scraping the bottom of my sauce and I wasn't even done with my fries. Yet this habit is escalating and I'm 100 here for it. Dip into canes. Get extra sauce for me, please.
Who's back the week? Hank? Um, who's back in the week is diarrhea? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There was a Delta flight this weekend going from Atlanta to Barcelona, and it had to turn around because someone had quote diarrhea all the way through the plane. Which I don't even really understand.
I know I think it's shit everywhere, like it was just leaking down the aisles.
I think you're like, going to the bathroom and it's it's falling out of your pants.
I think you shit on like people, I think shit on things, I think shit everywhere. Did you hear the call?
It was great. Oh, I got to try to find it.
It's like, a, uh, you know, when you rob a bank and they put the die pack in there and the purple explodes over the money. That's the inside of the plane, but.
Brown And it was a biohazard, biohazard, yeah, which makes me feel like next time I diarrhea, I'm just gonna be like, Yeah, that's a biohazard.
Watch out, I saw a good friend, Scott Van Pelt tweeted out that. Uh, which would you rather be on a plane with? The? Uh? You're not real girl? Or the one that has explosive diarrhea? I mean, you're not, you're not if you're not real girl. Had had explosive diarrhea on a plane, they'd be able to sell those plane seats for thousands of dollars, please.
Also, it's Tiffany Gomez, our Queen. Yes, let's put it in, let's put it, let's put her, her name.
Come on.
Some respect, come on.
The pod to discuss this person or reveal themselves.
Uh, I don't think they ever will.
Actually, we should, Jake, you should do a video like the Tiffany Gomez video. Get all dolled up and make up like part of my cheese steak shoot. And just be like, I'm just here to say that. What I've gone through over the past week has been hell.
It wasn't online. All right. Here's the call, it's so good, hold on. This is the official call when they had to call back to the to the airport.
All the way through, all the way. No, I think he, just, I think he. He probably was wearing shorts, maybe no underwear. It's hot out, it's summer, and it was just diarrhea leaking everywhere.
Maybe Magic City, maybe he got the Lemon pepper wings video evidence of this.
Everything, anytime anything crazy happens in a plane, there's video.
I don't know, but if someone's running up with diarrhea, I don't think I think you're like, Holy shit, get out of the way, he's going to diarrhea on me. Not holy shit. I need my phone.
It was running down the aisle, one person of the hundred and something is going to, I don't know.
I think you have to take care of yourself.
No, I agree with Jake. It's it's fun. It's a little odd to me that there's absolutely no video footage of this.
We should just put out jersey Jerry's Catastrophe. You'd be like, live footage, live footage. It's definitely someone that was on the flight that fell asleep, too, like, all right.
Go to Barcelona, Yeah, they were going to Barcelona, yeah, holy shit.
How mad would you be? You're about to go on an awesome vacation.
It's a Barthelona.
BARTHELONA You have to turn around cause somebody's got diarrhea.
Everywhere, everywhere, I, it was everywhere.
They should have shot the plane down.
It was everywhere. Yeah, he should have just jumped out. yeah, he should have been, like, all right enough for me.
I'd rather not live with this. Um, all right, good, who's back? Thank you.
Yeah, uh, pft.
Great who's back Hank? Thank you. Uh, my, who's back.
The week is Indianapolis Colts fans. Yes, so, as as we promised on this podcast, when, when Jim? or say, when after Dan Snyder? I said I would become a Colts fan in the AFC and purchase season tickets. If Ursus push ultimately led Dan Snyder to sell the team. A man of my word, I bought Colts season tickets. Big Cat is matching.
So we have a total of four tickets to give away to Indianapolis Colts fans for every home game this year.
Also, I should just say, Um, I matched and then I fucked up the match because they tried to get me. To have Colts tickets for life, there was a box I couldn't unclick that would give me Colts tickets for life. So I, I looked in my email and I thought I had them. I don't, but I'm buying two tickets for every game, which actually will work in someone's favor. Because, like Christmas time, I'll probably buy, like, you know, 100 level tickets.
Yeah.
So so we have game, it's going to be 600 level, but I have my two tickets.
So we have a total of four tickets to give away. I do have the season tickets and also shout out to the Colts because they reached out. This is pretty awesome. They heard the podcast and they said, we appreciate you guys becoming season ticket holders. We're going to, we're going to, we're going to throw in two VIP sideline passes pregame.
Wait, we need to up that to four.
So you can go, well, I can ask, I can ask. But right now. Right now, we have two VIP sideline passes for the pregame, as well as the two tickets for me and two tickets from Big Cat. So we have to figure out how to give them away. If you're an Indianapolis Colts fan, here's what we're doing for week one. I want to see youngsters go to this game, I'll see youngsters get these tickets.
That wouldn't be able to, not in a creepy way, but I'd like to see the best gym. Or say, lookalike youngster baby, or say, if you can. If you're an Indianapolis Colts fan, maybe you've got a son or a daughter wants to get dressed up like baby. Or say, send us pictures of a baby, or say, and we will give you free tickets to go see the colts.
We have four of them.
Yeah.
So winners and second place winners in second place both received tickets and then at least two VIP sideline passes for pregame. Not sure if we're going to have four, but we do have two. We'll just give them to both the baby. Or says, just just the kids, yeah.
They'll just go to themselves.
So, um, how do we want to do this? tweet at at part of my take.
Well, people might not have Twitter slash x. We do the PMT intern email. Yeah, sure, PMT intern at Barstool and we'll tweet out the winners.
Yeah, yeah.
But if people don't have Twitter, okay?
So either, either, either tweet them at us or email to PMT. Intern at Barstool Sports.
Com PMT intern at Barstool Sports.
Com, and we'll select four winners. So given back, it feels good to give back to the community, it's great. My other who's back the week? Plug God is Pup Punk, so if you're in Columbia, South Carolina, Pup Punk is going to be playing at the Bojangles in Columbia, South Carolina, as we've always wanted to do.
Don't be eating a hot dog in front of Shane Beamer.
Don't do it. We're going to be eating bowberry biscuits in front of Shane Beamer, because the Bowberry biscuit is elite. It's an elite fast food treat. So we're going to be there on Friday. Free concert at nine. That means me, Roan, Frankie, Robbie, Caroline, Nick.
We're going to be there, we're going to play, I think, for an hour. So come out, say hi, I like, I love the Cox. Yeah, I love the Cox.
So I want to see a bunch of Cox show up to that concert at the Bojangles.
Also, and then Saturday, the College Football show is going to be in Tuscaloosa for the first time, so I'll be in Tuscaloosa. Huge four o'clock, I think, is the is the time.
So everyone come out to that. Texas, Texas, Alabama.
I did hear some people say Malik Murphy. I heard people say Malik Murphy for Texas, I don't know, I don't know why. Quinn yours, Quinn yours looks like he looks. he looks like a very good, very good average quarterback.
That's what Quinn Yours looks like to me. Yeah, I don't know, Malik Murphy's a fucking monster.
Also, Quinn yours cut his mullet.
Yeah, that's a problem.
It was a very big problem. He cleaned up big time. Um, okay, my who's back? I got a couple, uh. The first is the water dogs in the semis.
Yeah.
Good for them.
It's the semis.
Two wins away, yep.
Two wins away, okay?
So, hands off, I went to the Cubs game instead of watching them.
Yeah.
Well, then I knew that they were going to win, I didn't need to. I don't, I don't show up to watch Water dogs games unless they're already in the semifinals.
It's the quarterfinals, you know, like we expect to be there every year, that's that we got rings, big cat.
We have a tradition here at Water Dogs HQ and it's we don't watch quarterfinals because we go to the semis and then we go to the finals and we win the whole fuck.
We have high standards and we got to, we got the final four coming up.
If we don't go back to back, I hate this team.
Who are you playing?
UH, water dogs versus cannon.
Fuck the can.
If we don't go back to back, I'm throwing my water dogs, uh, ring into the Chicago River, I'm going to. By the way, I brought it, you know, I see it six weeks ago again, get ready.
They're nice. I'm going to do it, but I'm going to at the last minute, not throw it. And then just throw a paper airplane that says, Thank you, water dogs.
Oh nice.
I love, I love those fake jersey burning ones.
Okay, um, and then my other, who's back? Uh, hank, did you see the report about your wider receiver? Did you use Miss Schuster? Yeah, I mean, this was, this was, this was a Florio special.
It's red like it was crazy it was. I've never seen a report like this. Uh, if you guys didn't see it, it was Juju Smith. Schuster's knee could explode at any point and is a mess.
According to Albert, Breer could explode at any point. What the fuck does that mean?
It's like the plot to die hard.
Couldn't anyone's fucking knee exploded at any point? Yeah, right, he's been practicing playing, I just saw it.
I was like, What is? I actually read it wrong? The first time? I didn't read the word knee, and I thought it was just Juju Smith. Schuster could explode at any point. Uh, and then I read it back.
I was like, Wait, what the fuck? I thought it was Buckcrack Sports, yeah.
Where was it from? Hank? It was Albert Breer, but that's not Florio.
No, no, I know I'd read, but it read like it read like a Florio.
So anything negative reads like a florio.
This is like, you like seeing like the New Yorker cartoons. You're like, that's a Florio. I could see it. I could see it right now. Shout out Florio.
By the way, he did a book reading and wheeling West Virginia. And he said that one person asked him about his fantasy football team, and he refused to answer it because he thought he, the person had FaceTime Us. So it's good that we just live in his head. This time of year, it's the best. We'll get them again.
One at some point, but it's good that we've taken a break and just let him live in horror.
He's just too ready for it right now. Yeah, which is his own punishment, right?
Exactly, he's just walking around, flinching all the time. Uh, okay, Jake, you're who's back?
I'm a who's back is the U s Open, oh.
Yeah, Americans are cooking in this tournament this year. I don't know if you guys have been following it at all, but uh, there's three American men in the quarterfinals. Isn't? There isn't a retire?
I know, I know, I saw that, that was sad, he was crying.
Oh yeah, some kid fucking gave me his nurse's bet on a on Thursday, Wednesday.
Morning, his retirement matching best serve, serve, go serve, goat, yep and eroticism I served.
What about Novak's?
Oh yeah.
King's respecting current kings. Rogers went to the U S Open and he had a picture of Novak and he said, Shout out my guy, Novak's, and had crossed out Moderna, the ad that was on the U S Open. Listen, Rogers and I started to become very much alike. We both agree that Novak's is the Goat.
Yeah.
Yeah, so the bottom half of the men's brackets three Americans and Jokovic.
Of course.
Is it Tiafoe?
Is he still in it? I like Tiafoe, I still think he should come on the show, I think he's a good fit.
Jokovic lost the first two sets on the Friday night. Everyone's like, Oh, you've got to be careful. I went to sleep and I had no care in the world, of course.
You have to keep reminding us every major tournament, like who the these different tennis players are, who's the one that, like, gets upset all the time that people hate?
Cause I like, carry us, but he's hurt.
Okay, I like him because people hate him.
Wait, is Alcatraz not in it?
He's the number one team, he's on the top half of the bracket.
So wait, we're we're celebrating Americans being in the quarterfinals. We just talked about how the quarterfinals don't matter.
It's the first time, I think, in over a decade, that four men made the quarterfinals, or around 16.
Let me know when they actually get to the semis.
Well, one's guaranteed. Tiafoe versus Blake Shelton.
Okay, great, so one at least. That's not a story versus Blake Shelton.
Ben Shelton.
Okay, all right, that would be very confusing.
He's a dual sport athlete.
Yeah.
Come on, Jake, we're doing we can't celebrate quarterfinals.
Wait, are the Americans playing each other?
Yeah, so one's guaranteed.
Cannibalization, man, that's I don't like that.
Yeah, but yeah, I'm pulling for Tiafoe, I think you should be on the show.
I am too.
D.C. Guy Yep, um, yeah, let me know when one of them wins it.
The whole thing.
Yeah, we suck at tennis.
Yeah, it's been a struggle.
We've, we haven't won one in how long?
I think Roddick or Sampras.
No, what was the last time?
Agassi probably.
Roddick never won a major, right?
Yeah, he did, I think, did he?
I thought he was supposed to be next up and he never came, he just was the he was the anti Dion.
He was a serve God.
Did he win a major? Did Roddick win a major?
I'm looking it up, I'm looking it up right now.
I don't think, uh, I don't think Roddick ever, uh, won a major.
