[00:00:03]

Draftkings Network.

[00:00:10]

This is the Dan Levitore Show with the Stugatz Podcast. We're here. We did it, family. We did. I don't think I've ever called anyone family, including.

[00:00:26]

My own family. It would have only been more strange if you said pham. Probably.

[00:00:30]

Or.

[00:00:30]

Brian Kelly style family, cuz.

[00:00:34]

We're here, pham.

[00:00:36]

Boudro, Kelly.

[00:00:37]

All of us.

[00:00:39]

Listeners. Yep.

[00:00:40]

Us. Well, I guess we're not all here, but you know what I mean. We're all here in Spirit. Yeah.

[00:00:45]

We made it, Billy. We made it. Yeah, fun two weeks. Two weeks?

[00:00:48]

Yeah. Well, you say fun two weeks, so I'm wondering- I'm exhausted. Are you?

[00:00:52]

I'm tired, but fun two weeks. Okay.

[00:00:55]

Well, I'm wondering how we... Should we do grades? Is it appropriate to do grades on how these two weeks went?

[00:01:01]

Now, how does this work? What's the grading skill? Will I grade myself? Will Stugats give us all grades? Should we grade each other? You know in class when you would switch papers.

[00:01:10]

With people? Oh, I'd love doing that.

[00:01:11]

Maybe you two give each other grades, me and Lucy give each other grades, and these two give each.

[00:01:15]

Other grades. When you did that in school, did you do it with a friend of yours? Of course. So you guys cheated? Of course. Okay.

[00:01:21]

We would always write with pencil, right? We would know, Okay, if you pass over my paper, what I'll do is I'll erase yours and then write it.

[00:01:27]

Really quick. -nice. -you're passing over the pencil that you wrote with, too.

[00:01:31]

No, we use the same mechanical pencil, like the same big pencil. -so how do you use it? We use it, yeah. Then we just erase it really quick, write the new answer.

[00:01:38]

The teacher never wondered about different handwriting. Well, you're here, so it works. Or it didn't. Multiple choice. We have no way of knowing if you won.

[00:01:49]

Or not. I guess the teacher didn't care. They're just like, Whatever, dude. Thinking of my teachers now, when I was a kid, being my age, I'd see it and be like, Whatever, let's keep moving.

[00:01:59]

So.

[00:02:00]

How do we want to do.

[00:02:01]

The grades? Salute to teachers, by the way. Pay them. Pay them. The unsung heroes of the.

[00:02:04]

Same tree. Yes. Should we have someone from the outside.

[00:02:07]

Grade us? Even though there's terrible teachers, if we're.

[00:02:09]

Going to be totally honest. Lucy likes that idea.

[00:02:10]

Horrible teachers out there. Terrible teachers.

[00:02:12]

But it's not their fault. I'm a people pleaser, so I can't give a grade. I'll give everyone an A. Can we just.

[00:02:16]

Do overall? No, but.

[00:02:17]

I'm thinking-.

[00:02:17]

You can do one at a time?

[00:02:18]

That's annoying. I'm thinking we have someone from outside, maybe Carl.

[00:02:22]

Oh, I'm a liar.

[00:02:23]

And he comes in and gives us individual grades and team grades.

[00:02:26]

Can we do Taylor?

[00:02:26]

What do you think? Fine. Taylor is fine. Why? Because he's going to give you a better grade?

[00:02:30]

Why would.

[00:02:31]

Taylor give me a better grade? I have no idea. Taylor. Let's go with Taylor. I'm not going to argue.

[00:02:34]

With you. We also have the bucket of death to do here.

[00:02:38]

I want grades, though. So, Taylor, are.

[00:02:41]

We good with Taylor? You want individual grades?

[00:02:43]

Yes. Okay. You want team grades? No, I don't know what it was. I give us an A.

[00:02:48]

You give us an A?

[00:02:48]

As a team. So we're letting the students grade the papers.

[00:02:51]

Well, like Tony used to do, him and his friends used to cheat. Right, yeah, cheat as well.

[00:02:56]

I think we get a B minus.

[00:02:57]

B minus? Really? Well, you weren't here yesterday. I just did. Big day for us yesterday. Trust me. You got a C.

[00:03:02]

Plus there, Chris. -i listened. No, I'm just kidding.

[00:03:05]

What is that?

[00:03:05]

-what does that mean? I'm just saying I didn't want to be like, if I said A, everyone's going to be like, Oh, they're just giving themselves As. A B minus is that perfect score. That's a good score.

[00:03:15]

-let the audience take you up.

[00:03:16]

-no. But it proves that I've assessed a little bit. If I just give an A, it doesn't look like I've done anything in terms.

[00:03:22]

Of balancing. How about this? How about this? On the front end? I will say this. I think not their fault. I think the Reece Davis show that we did with Dan Orlowski, the worst show that we've done in the two weeks. And it's not their fault. -circumstances created that.

[00:03:36]

Whose fault? Name names, Billy.

[00:03:38]

No, I'm not naming names. Well, things have changed. Things get a little hectic, and we were planning on having multiple hours, and then it turned into one hour, so we crammed things. We had to cancel guests at the last minute. Our plan wasn't just to have guests that day, is what I'll say. Right, yes.

[00:03:53]

It's very defensive of that day.

[00:03:55]

B-minus. No, I'll just say.

[00:03:57]

That-i thought that day was fine.

[00:03:58]

Slightly above average.

[00:03:59]

It wasn't... It's a nice.

[00:04:00]

Score, B-minus. We did do a great job doing a show that day. It just turned into too long interviews, but that wasn't.

[00:04:05]

Our point. You know what? You guys are right. B-plus. Yeah, that's better.

[00:04:07]

B-plus. That's better.

[00:04:08]

I would just solid B. Our B.

[00:04:10]

I'll take.

[00:04:10]

A B. I'll take a B. We just.

[00:04:11]

Give it an 85.

[00:04:11]

I'll take a B. I don't write the minus.

[00:04:13]

There's lots of moving parts when you have two different locations.

[00:04:16]

What is a B nowadays? Back in my day, it was 80-89.

[00:04:19]

That's still a B. It's in my background.

[00:04:21]

No, at that.

[00:04:22]

Point, though, I had like, eight.

[00:04:23]

The whole.

[00:04:23]

Spectrum of the B column. A B was in 84 for me.

[00:04:27]

Yeah, I had a seven-point scale.

[00:04:29]

No.

[00:04:29]

84-89. An A was like a 93-100, and I think a B was an 85-92.

[00:04:35]

That's.

[00:04:36]

Bullshit.

[00:04:36]

Man.

[00:04:37]

That's that's sucked.

[00:04:38]

That was not cool. That's a four-something.

[00:04:39]

That was not cool. That was.

[00:04:40]

Not cool.

[00:04:41]

What's an A minus?

[00:04:42]

At one point, they changed it to like 10-point scales, I think. Maybe here in Florida?

[00:04:46]

I don't know. How can a 90 not be an A minus?

[00:04:48]

Well, because it was a B.

[00:04:49]

Nah, bullshit.

[00:04:50]

No, it wasn't.

[00:04:51]

It should be an A minus. Would you rather have an A minus or B plus?

[00:04:53]

Anything 90 or above should be an A something. We were talking about that plus.

[00:04:57]

I love that plus.

[00:04:58]

I love that plus.

[00:04:59]

You guys-You're free?

[00:05:00]

-i like being on the high end of a letter. -okay, you did. -i don't want to be the scraps of it.

[00:05:05]

-you'd rather have a C plus and an A minus.

[00:05:06]

I don't want to be the toss away A. I want to be the king of.

[00:05:09]

The Bs.

[00:05:09]

No, I'd rather be on the lower end or the highest.

[00:05:12]

Then I'm telling you about expectations. If you want to live an A life and then you're in that minus space, that's not a good place to live. Be in that B life and then.

[00:05:19]

Crush it. -be the best. -you would rather a B plus over an A minus. I'd rather be.

[00:05:22]

The best B on the planet than just some A that no one's going to ever remember.

[00:05:25]

Let's be real. You're a C minus now. You're a.

[00:05:27]

C-plus student. I was a B guy. A lot of Bs.

[00:05:29]

In my life. I'm not saying critically, I was a C student too.

[00:05:31]

-were you? -i was a super C student.

[00:05:32]

Were you? Yeah.

[00:05:33]

That's.

[00:05:33]

Surprising. Well, I mean, early on I was a better student.

[00:05:36]

I was a solid B. I was a B minus guy. -really? -very low end of the Bs. That's why I strive for that. I strive for that. That B plus always was... Oh, man.

[00:05:45]

-i don't want to... -lucie, straight A's.

[00:05:47]

I wasn't straight A's, but I was a very good student. And my hometown is where Krispy Kream is from. What? Yeah. So when you would.

[00:05:54]

Go-what a weird nugget that.

[00:05:55]

Has nothing to do.

[00:05:56]

With-no, no, no, it's related.

[00:05:57]

It's related. Hold on. She's getting somewhere. Let her tie it together. For crying out loud.

[00:06:00]

Thank you. Why did it take two weeks to get to this?

[00:06:03]

So when you would get your report card, you would go to Krispy Kream, and for every A, they would give you a doughnut.

[00:06:08]

I love that.

[00:06:09]

Oh, wow.

[00:06:09]

-pizza hunt. -i got.

[00:06:11]

A lot of doughnuts. Incentives, right. Yeah, I was a.

[00:06:13]

Great student. Oh, my God.

[00:06:14]

I was MVP of the multiplication tournament.

[00:06:16]

Right. A lot of diabetes here.

[00:06:18]

But that's such a great play. Chris, if someone was dangling crispy green donuts in front of you, what do you think your GPA would have been?

[00:06:26]

What's nine times seven?

[00:06:28]

Sixty-three.

[00:06:29]

Okay. Seems like I'm faster.

[00:06:31]

You were a lot faster.

[00:06:32]

Than me. She said she did a multiplication.

[00:06:34]

She won multiplication. I was, yeah, in third grade multiplication tournament MVP. We did not win the championship, but I was the best.

[00:06:39]

Player ever.

[00:06:39]

Seven times five. You were the MVP?

[00:06:41]

Can.

[00:06:41]

We do this? He's a lot.

[00:06:42]

Better than me.

[00:06:42]

If you do anything in multiples or seven, I got it because I've been in football for a bit of my brain.

[00:06:46]

For so long. We need to draw teams.

[00:06:47]

We need to draw teams. We need to go to the bucket. Six times eight. Billy has a good idea. Just quick math for Lucy, you want to do while.

[00:06:54]

We're doing this? Yeah. Mike Flintas, I mean, Reaper, come in here. We have to do the bucket of death.

[00:06:58]

Wow, that was a spoiler, Laird.

[00:07:00]

What? What if.

[00:07:01]

The reaper grades us as we all pick?

[00:07:03]

Great. Write it down, the reaper, on a.

[00:07:07]

Piece of paper. I don't have a pencil.

[00:07:09]

His friend has it.

[00:07:11]

Get some scrap paper, let the reaper write down the grades, and someone reveal us what the grades are after the segment, if that's okay. Are we doing a quick math with Lucy?

[00:07:20]

It seems like we're not even doing the bucket of death, so I.

[00:07:22]

Don't know what we're doing.

[00:07:22]

14 times 14. We only went up to 12.

[00:07:24]

Yeah, these extra digits.

[00:07:26]

Are crazy. I mean, 12 times 12.

[00:07:30]

Tony, you're.

[00:07:32]

Messing me up. Thank you.

[00:07:34]

Twelve.

[00:07:35]

Times.

[00:07:35]

Nine. This is.

[00:07:37]

A.

[00:07:37]

Win-win. You are the MVP. Is that right?

[00:07:40]

I don't know.

[00:07:43]

All.

[00:07:43]

Right, we're going to the bucket. I'm going to look around here and let's see.

[00:07:49]

I'd like to say the audience, there's a controversy that's happening that we're going to... There's an investigation afoot right now that we're going to maybe put together.

[00:07:57]

Next week. Really? Okay, good.

[00:07:59]

What happened? Yeah, something happened in the Bucket of Death last week that I've been informed was maybe a bit of a mouthfeezance. Some funny business. Some funny part, some funny business. That's right.

[00:08:08]

It must have been a day I was in here.

[00:08:09]

But let me remind everyone. Probably.

[00:08:11]

I rule that I am fist.

[00:08:11]

The Bucket of Death is brought to you by KFC's new Hot and spicy wings. Order an eight piece of new Hot and spicy wings for 4.99 at participating KFC's today. It's finger-looking good.

[00:08:23]

All right, in my hand, I've got the Seattle Seahawks helmet, and they are a minus four favorite at home against the PJ Walker-led Cleveland Browns. I'm worried because Cleveland's defense is really good and this is ripe for the Seahawks to blow this game ever.

[00:08:38]

Is DeShawn out? Deshawn's out.

[00:08:40]

Pj Walker's in, but Myles Garrett's still there. Very casual reaper.

[00:08:43]

Right now, just leaning on the table. Looks like a guy.

[00:08:45]

Who's ready. Well, the reaper is about to go on vacation. Exactly.

[00:08:49]

That's literally leaving right now, I think.

[00:08:51]

Reaper, do you agree that the day before vacation is better than the last day of vacation? You don't have to say anything. Just no.

[00:08:57]

Yeah, thumbs up. I'm going to put it back.

[00:08:59]

Okay. Put it back. Really?

[00:09:00]

I don't.

[00:09:01]

Trust five minutes on that. Yeah, I.

[00:09:03]

Don't trust the Seahawks right now. Oh, the underdog helmet.

[00:09:08]

Underdog.

[00:09:08]

I thought it was the Browns.

[00:09:09]

For a second. Look at the underdogs. Get back to us with what your underdog pick.

[00:09:12]

Will be. All right, you're there, Roy.

[00:09:13]

I got the take the Vikings. They're minus one. Any New.

[00:09:18]

York team, any sport.

[00:09:19]

No, they're not taking them their favorite.

[00:09:22]

Any sport, New York team, Roy.

[00:09:23]

Jets play the giants.

[00:09:24]

You're going to keep it and get back to us or.

[00:09:26]

You want to put it back? Take the Liberty you won't know for months. Yeah. No, I'm not even going to search. Take a hockey team. We love hockey. I would go with the Rangers, but no. So do it. I already put the.

[00:09:36]

Helmet on it. You said you didn't want to do it.

[00:09:40]

I'm an idiot. I have the Oakland Raiders. Dude, the Las Vegas Raiders. I'm sorry, the Las Vegas Raiders. That's fine. Against the Falcons. Plus one against the Falcons is a good one. I'm not.

[00:09:49]

An idiot. I might go back and take the Browns over the Z-hawks.

[00:09:52]

That would be...

[00:09:55]

I might, I suck. I have.

[00:09:56]

The Dolphins. Okay, wow. I can't keep this. At home, the biggest favorite of the weekend.

[00:10:00]

Unjust, according to Billy. You know, Chris.

[00:10:03]

I said, suspicious.

[00:10:05]

I got the Steeler's.

[00:10:07]

Steeler's on the road.

[00:10:08]

They're all the three points for hosting the Jags. They're two and a half point dogs. Put it back.

[00:10:13]

Although is a tough one. That's the Stealers are one of those teams that I can't get right. If I bet against them, they win.

[00:10:18]

Well, no one can.

[00:10:19]

All right, I'm stuck with.

[00:10:21]

The Rams. Okay. Monday Night.

[00:10:23]

Football, I'm.

[00:10:24]

Being told. Yeah. Monday Night? No.

[00:10:28]

No. Raiders. Raiders, Lions on Monday. You gave me the wrong game, Billy.

[00:10:32]

It doesn't.

[00:10:32]

Even matter. He did. He totally did.

[00:10:34]

I gave you the wrong game?

[00:10:35]

The Lions. The Lions, Raiders, Monday Night Football, guys.

[00:10:37]

What did I say? I told you to take the Liberty. No, you gave me another game for the.

[00:10:42]

Raiders game.

[00:10:43]

-ransor at Dallas.

[00:10:44]

-ransornot Dallas. But it.

[00:10:45]

Doesn't matter. This is my second helmet. I'm forced with this. I have to go. I'm on week two of the Golden Helmet. I'm on week two of the.

[00:10:51]

Golden Helmet. Am I done with the Golden Helmet?

[00:10:51]

Yeah, you have to pick.

[00:10:52]

The last game. I am picking first for Dan, okay?

[00:10:55]

Unless it's a good one, and.

[00:10:57]

Then Cheers. What did I.

[00:10:58]

Tell you, Roy?

[00:10:59]

I.

[00:10:59]

Don't remember what.

[00:11:00]

Team you told me, but it wasn't.

[00:11:01]

The Lion. It doesn't matter. Patriots. Moving on. I'll keep it for Dan, Patriots.

[00:11:05]

They play.

[00:11:06]

The Dolphins. What do you mean? It's so unfair. No to re-kill.

[00:11:08]

Yeah. Those nine.

[00:11:10]

Points are nice.

[00:11:11]

Coming off a win.

[00:11:11]

Best coach ever. With the spread.

[00:11:13]

What team did you take? Riders. Second helmet.

[00:11:17]

This is for Mike. This one's for Mike.

[00:11:20]

What is that? That's a thank you for your service. You can pick any armed force team for Mike if you'd like to, or you could put it back.

[00:11:30]

Just put it back because.

[00:11:31]

It's confusing. Air Force is undefeated.

[00:11:33]

I put it back already. Chris told me to do it.

[00:11:36]

I mean. Wow. Mike hates America. Let's see what we.

[00:11:40]

Got here. This is for Mike. The Ravens. All right.

[00:11:44]

Not bad, right? Yeah. It doesn't matter who they're playing because that's his team.

[00:11:47]

All right, so this is for me. Can I keep that one?

[00:11:50]

The playing the Cardinals.

[00:11:52]

Are 8.5. You just gave.

[00:11:53]

It to Mike. That was.

[00:11:54]

From May.

[00:11:54]

That was an upgrade.

[00:11:55]

Did I say Mike? That's to do Gotts? Yeah. You're the worst.

[00:11:58]

I hate this so much. For me.

[00:12:00]

Who are the rams playing?

[00:12:01]

The Cowboys.

[00:12:02]

You're on the wrong week. I didn't tell Roy. I told him to take the Liberty.

[00:12:07]

Guys, we're getting.

[00:12:08]

Bogged down. Cowboys. Cowboys.

[00:12:11]

Rams?

[00:12:11]

I don't know. Yep.

[00:12:13]

I'll keep it.

[00:12:14]

All right. You had a choice.

[00:12:17]

Have a good vacation, Reaper.

[00:12:19]

Dan has the Patriots.

[00:12:22]

He's not going to like that. You could have put that back.

[00:12:25]

Why did you do that? No, Tarik al.

[00:12:28]

Don.

[00:12:30]

Levittard. I just heard a.

[00:12:32]

Song that.

[00:12:32]

Had.

[00:12:33]

Frank Sinatra.

[00:12:34]

Singing from The Window to the Wall to the sweat drop off my balls. Stugats. The window to the walls. We all heard that, right? Until the sweat drops down my balls. So What I'm saying here? All these females crawl singing, all skeet, skeet, god damn.

[00:12:51]

Oh, Blue Eyes.

[00:12:53]

Congratulations.

[00:12:53]

On your suing nomination.

[00:12:55]

This is the Don Levittard show with the Stugats. So Jess.

[00:13:04]

And I are back with another episode, version of our college football. Segment? Show maybe? Still doesn't have a name. Honestly, I don't want any more suggestions. I think I'm good on those. I've seen everything I need to see.

[00:13:24]

It's not football. Please stop suggesting things. Stop it. I agree.

[00:13:29]

But we should just jump right into what James Franklin said was the two best teams in college football battling it out this weekend. And man, was he just saying things? He was just talking. I know for a fact that before the game, he was like, I know exactly what I'm going to say when this ends. I'm going to write this down. It was in the notes app. It's been there for three weeks now. The two best teams in college football, it didn't look like it. It was a brutal game. Very rarely do you have such a highly anticipated game, and then you go on your Twitter feed and you see everyone just hating it. No one was having a good time.

[00:14:03]

I really respect how he was like, I'm going to get ahead of the narrative because that was two disgusting offenses playing football against one another. But I'm going to spin it as what a defensive showdown. And look, Ohio State and Penn State both have great defenses. I think Ohio State's defense in particular was incredibly impressive. But to declare it the best two teams in college football going head to head after that stinker at noon on Saturday is why this man gets paid so much money, because he can convince people somehow of anything. It didn't work this time, though, not on me.

[00:14:38]

Pretty much just how he got his extension is just convincing people that he's really great at what he does. And it was such a James Franklin game where, yes, Penn State has talent, they've recruited well, but it was the entire time it felt like every single time Penn State got something going, James Franklin was like, I want to stop doing that. I do not like the way that it's going. I think we're moving too much. We can't use the defensive battle excuse anymore. He just like, I've never seen a coach so guaranteed to lose in the big games the way James Franklin is. So now Penn State fans are stuck in this weird moment where you're like, All right, are we really happy with 10, 11 wins every year, knowing that we're going to lose to Ohio State and Michigan every time, which starting next year, we're not going to be playing Ohio State and Michigan every year? It's weird times in Happy Valley because you're just stuck, which I get. I get it better than anybody. Yeah.

[00:15:30]

I mean, it's not a terrible place to be if you're a fan. You still win a lot of games. You end up in a New York Six Bull game occasionally, although like you said, all that's going to change next year. But I just thought that it was very funny to see how James Franklin reacted when that one reporter asked him about like, Why don't you guys ever chuck it up? And then they went into this game and finished with a zero percentile explosive play rate, which means basically without getting into the analytics explanation, they just didn't do anything. Their offense just didn't do anything cool. And it was exactly why probably that reporter was asking him about it earlier this year. I'm not out on Penn State's quarterback, Drew Allar. He might still be good, but they certainly didn't give him much to work with in this game. And he's young. Both quarterbacks are young. This was a big game for both of them. But yeah, it was just two pretty bad offenses, minus Marvin Harrison Jr, who is the best player on the field on either team's offense, which probably made the biggest difference for Ohio State and why they're able to win.

[00:16:39]

Though my reaction watching this game was nobody has to feel better right now than Michigan. Even with all the sign stealing stuff, they're watching this game thinking this is going to be a cakewalk. Everything is going to be easy for us for the rest of the season. It feels like the Big Ten is already in the bag for them, unless they do have to face Iowa, the Big Ten championship game.

[00:16:56]

So good luck. Well, I mean, as long as they can continue playing and they don't get the death penalty, which I've been calling for for about a week now, they should probably just have to cancel their football program. They're cheaters, whether it's cheeseburgers or sign stealing. I think Jim Harba has shown you again and again, he is not a fair guy. Don't play against Michigan. Everyone should boycott their game against Michigan for the rest of the season.

[00:17:23]

Cheaters. Hamburgers, filming stuff on cell phones. When does it stop? When do we say we can't take any more of this, Michigan? You elitist university that cheats just like the rest of us. I got to feel bad for the guy, though, that they were like, Hey, you go to Iowa, film the signs.

[00:17:36]

Oh, God, what a terrible assignment. I just don't like... In all seriousness, if your name is Connor Stallions, like, It least change it to David Mustang when you're buying these tickets. Give yourself an alias. When I heard that this man's name was Connor Stallions, I was like, surely that was just the name he was using. But no, he did not use a fake name. He had a public Venmo. Lucy, you have told me that you've stalked people on Venmo and been able to figure out lots of secrets by looking at public Venmo notes. This is something that should be a no-brainer if you're committing NCAA crimes, which aren't really real crimes, but whatever. I guess to some people, they still matter. I don't know where Michigan goes from here because I doubt anything will actually happen to them because the NCAA is so useless. But people are going to just call them cheaters forever, and their fans are going to be like, We didn't do anything. And everyone's going to be like, Yes, you did. And it's going to be like the Astros or the Patriots. And it doesn't matter because they're probably still going to win the national championship this year because they actually are very good.

[00:18:37]

And Jim Harball is going to flirt with the NFL the entire offseason and be like, Look, I don't know what's going to happen to Michigan. I might as well get me a nice little safety plan.

[00:18:45]

I hate it so much.

[00:18:46]

Every.

[00:18:47]

Single.

[00:18:47]

Time. Moving on to a different game, Jeremy Tashay correctly told us that UCF would challenge Oklahoma. I was happy for him, sad for him. That was an interesting game. Ucf looked really good. All it came down to was Gus Maldzambian like, I'm about to do the dumbest thing possible here. When they went for it on their failed two-point conversion at the end of the game, I've never seen a dumber play call. Remember, I watch Iowa football every single weekend. Oklahoma should have lost that game. Ucf lost that game. It was tough. It was real tough.

[00:19:19]

It was tough. Credit to Jerber. Back in New York, went on my little Draft King sportsbook app, and I was like, I'm taking Oklahoma in the points. Man, was that a bad bet from the first quarter on. Ucf's defense has been pretty bad this year. They've had a pretty good run game and their quarterback was back for this game. That's John Rice-Pulney. He's been out for the last four or five weeks, I think, with a leg injury. They looked a lot better. They're still 0-4 in the Big 12, haven't won a conference game yet. In Oklahoma, it just looks sloppy. They were just letting UCF run all over them. Still UCF wasn't able to run as well as they have against other teams, but Oklahoma is supposed to have this great defense, and they just kept letting them in this game. And like you said, came down to a two-point conversion that was... It was a yucky one, but Oklahoma squeaked by with a win after being challenged probably more in this game than they even were by Texas a few weeks ago. It was really, really tense.

[00:20:17]

This keeps the dream of Texas, Oklahoma, in the Big 12 championship game alive, which is pretty special. Quinn Newers is hurt out, so that's tough, but he should be back. Yeah.

[00:20:28]

Is Archman are you going to play this season, Lucy?

[00:20:30]

God, I hope so. God, I hope so. Just the idea of what that's going to do to the college football world if Arch Manning balls out, create a quarterback controversy that was never really there in the first place, inject it into my veins, especially at Texas, those boosters are going to be throwing even more money on the table.

[00:20:46]

I don't think he will play, but, I mean, barring Texas's backup gets hurt, obviously. But I agree with you. From a content perspective, it would be awesome. God, I hope so.

[00:20:58]

I really, really hope so. You said you lost money on Oklahoma. I lost money on Washington. What the actual heck? What happened? All right, so I caught the end of this game. Apparently, Michael Pinnock Jr. Turned the ball over a thousand times. I was sitting there, and it was like, I took Washington minus 28 and a half. That was the line. I was like, I felt so good about it.

[00:21:20]

We're both.

[00:21:21]

Such losers. I felt so good about it, too. And I had been perfect up until that point. So I was like, There's no way this doesn't happen. And then Washington was like, We're going to lose it. We're going to do our very best, and we're going to try to lose it. They barely snuck it out. There were questionable calls in this one. I'm not thinking too much into it because I do... Not that I think Arizona State is a particularly tricky team, but I feel like everyone once a year has that one game where you're like, Oh, what went on there? The same time Georgia, when they almost lost to Mizzou and they were the eventual national champions. I'm not saying that that Washington is going to get there, but I'm not too worried. I'm just a little pissed about the money.

[00:21:57]

I lost. Yeah, I'm with you. I think if you're a North Carolina fan, we'll get to them in a second, you were praying another team would go down into an un-ringed opponent to take some of the pressure off. But yeah, Washington, they were able to win after what was a really ugly game for their offense. They only scored nine offensive points to ASU, who has let a lot worse teams score more points on them. But Arizona State has... I think they're probably objectively the worst team in the Pac-12 this year, at least from a record standpoint. I will have to double-check that. But they have been a little feisty in game, so good for them. But maybe you write it off as a hangover game for Washington. It was a late home game after they just played Oregon and the game of the season so far for them. So hopefully they're able to rebound because they've got another tough stretch coming up for them. And I think they slipped a little bit in the polls, but there's still a chunk of season left. They can make their way back up there.

[00:22:57]

Yeah, I believe they have USC in two weeks, which that will if they win that game convincingly, which they should, then I think all the questions will be done. It was just, I don't know, sometimes Arizona State is weird. Sometimes they're weird. But I guess- They're always weird. We have to go here now, Taylor. How are you doing currently?

[00:23:14]

I was looking for a bag to put over my head before this segment.

[00:23:18]

So UNC lost to Virginia as a 23 and a half point favorite. Did you put money on it?

[00:23:24]

No, I know better to bet on North Carolina, but this is just the Mac Brown special. They're a 20 point favorite against somebody every year. They're going to lose. A couple of years ago, it was Georgia Tech. Three years ago, it was Florida State. This is just death taxes and Mac Brown losing a game. He has no business losing.

[00:23:43]

It is so... And Virginia doesn't have an ACC win yet. I don't think they have one under Tony Elliot yet. This is an insane game for UNC to have lost. It was immediately like they were in the top 10 and Mac Brown's like, I know what I have to do. It's time to humble the guys. We need towe need to come back down to reality. It's insanely bad.

[00:24:04]

I have a question for you, Taylor. When you're a North Carolina fan and you know that one of these implosions will probably come, did you have a feeling this weekend that it would be against Virginia? Or were you like, No, maybe we won't have on this year. Maybe it'll be something else? Because sometimes you're a college football fan, you wake up in the morning, you're like, I can just tell something terrible is going to happen to my team today. Did you have any sense this would happen?

[00:24:29]

I didn't think it was going to be Virginia at home 23 and a half point favorite. I was already looking ahead to the Georgia Tech game because Georgia Tech going to Atlanta has been a house of horrors for this North Carolina team. I think they're like two and ten their last twelve trips to Atlanta. But Virginia, it was never supposed to be Virginia. I should have known something was off the second the game was on the CW, which by the way, great broadcasting experience on.

[00:24:56]

The CW. It's really good. It's one of the work.

[00:24:59]

I have enjoyed the CW game. They may be cursed. This is the second weekend in a row, an unbeaten ACC team has lost on the CW. I love the trickling of fans every week who are like, Wait, what? There's football on the CW? I was at a bar and I asked the bartender to turn on the CW. And I think he thought I was putting on supernatural. And I was like, no, North Carolina is losing to Virginia. I have to turn it on. I think the craziest thing about this game was that Virginia had the dreaded fumble into the end zone for a touchback happen to them. And they still were able to win. How do you win after that? That's usually a death knell for any team. It's like, Oh, God damn it, you gave the other team the ball back when you're about to score. This is terrible. There's no coming back from it. But no, Virginia somehow still held on to win it. I thought it was incredible.

[00:25:45]

Since 1998, North Carolina is one in five as a top 10 team. Some teams just not built for big time college football, and I'm starting to accept that if this North Carolina team with Drake May couldn't get over the hump, it might.

[00:25:58]

Never happen. Well, maybe it's that this happened, so you won't be in the top 10 when you're playing Duke. Spin Zone, yes. You are welcome for that. Wow, yeah, that was a- Taylor, that was so sad.

[00:26:07]

You're just accepting your fate. I mean, I've been in your shoes so many times. Just watching Notre Dame lose blowout after blowout to like, Alabama and Clemson and Alabama again, it's tough to have to reckon with that. But I think it seems like you're handling it well.

[00:26:25]

Yeah, Virginia try to give them the game too. And Omar and Hampton, the ACC is leading rusher, gets five carries in the second half. He's averaging seven yards per carry, and it's a one score game. We're like, Nope, let's just keep airing it out with Drake May, who lucked off the entire night. Carolina's receivers had a bunch of drops. It was just a disaster.

[00:26:44]

From the start. There's a little James Franklin and everyone.

[00:26:47]

Don Libertard. Elton John does not like performing Crocadile Rock, but to the point we were making, I think he still does because he just knows the crowd wants to hear it.

[00:26:55]

Right, well, he has to. I feel.

[00:26:59]

Like that's safe.

[00:27:00]

He might be litigious, but that was.

[00:27:01]

Such a.

[00:27:02]

Poor imitation of the song.

[00:27:03]

Still guts. We can all agree, Piano Man. This might get shot as well. The crowd needs to sing Piano Man.

[00:27:08]

Yeah, but I want to hear Billy Joel sing Piano Man. Yeah, but I want to hear.

[00:27:12]

Billy Joel sing Piano Man. They just lets.

[00:27:13]

You at the end go.

[00:27:14]

Does he.

[00:27:15]

Still.

[00:27:15]

Have the tessie-chessie? She just wants suie nominations. She just wants a rack of suie nominations.

[00:27:21]

Is that what she's going for? I'm trying to avoid that. Make Crocodale Rock.

[00:27:24]

Make Billy Jools Piano. You got it? You got it. You got it.

[00:27:27]

You got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. You got it. This is the Dan Lebertar Show with the Stugats.

[00:27:37]

Well, I guess we have to talk about it just a little bit. Taylor was not the only one who experienced a devastating loss this weekend.

[00:27:48]

I'll.

[00:27:50]

Give my statement. I'll give my PR. That was a very bad call. It was a bad call when it happened. It was a bad call after it when I saw all the different angles. This, not this. This, not this. For the audio listeners, one, clearly, my arm is to the side. The other, up. They're very different. Absolute, terrible call. I think my most depressing moment of the weekend is when it was called back. There was a minute 40 on the clock, and I was like, We're not going to get the 20 yards we need to score. This game is over. And that is exactly what happened. How can you not move 20 yards? You'd be the Iowa offense. Throws to an interception instead. It's absolutely fine. It's fun.

[00:28:35]

Lucy, this was one of the stupidest ways to lose a football game that I've ever seen. They came out in this game the same as they have in every other game by not scoring points, but doing stuff on defense. The under, I think, was what, 30 points? 31 points? And it hit by a mile, a country mile, Lucy. But I cannot fathom this call at the end of the game. I've seen people way smarter than me go back and forth on this for days. I just can't... Like you said, the arm is to the side. It's clear he's waving his own team off the ball, from what I can tell. Not waving his hand over his head like he's going to faircatch it. I just could not believe the way that this game ended. I also love that PJ Fleck was like, Nope, this is the right call.

[00:29:23]

Yeah, of course.

[00:29:25]

Yeah, this was the right call. And I'm like, PJ, you could just... You don't have to say that.

[00:29:29]

A text I got during the game was, Did that save PJ Fleck? Because he had never beat in Iowa since he had been there. Not having a good season. This is a Minnesota team that is not very good. Apparently an Iowa team that's not very good either. Just rough all around, just not an enjoyable experience. But when you rely on defense and special teams to win your games and you can't do anything offensively, you put yourself in a position where bad calls happen and you only move the ball two yards in one half. That is your own fault.

[00:30:00]

So can you repeat that? I'm sorry. They had how many yards in one half?

[00:30:05]

One, two.. I believe it was 12. And then I think the sack took away 10 yards, but I'm not positive on that.

[00:30:17]

Once- It doesn't matter.

[00:30:19]

Yeah, once it was called back, I said, They don't have a shot at winning this game. I feel bad for Cooper de Gene. He's an elite returner. That is the second time he has saved Iowa's ass.

[00:30:28]

With a return. Incredible name, too. Yeah.

[00:30:30]

So good. He's the best at everything. Oh, man. He's the best of everything.

[00:30:33]

I'm sorry, Lucy.

[00:30:33]

Can we talk about Michigan again real quick just to talk about what happened at the Michigan State on the video board. This has been said by many people, so I feel like I shouldn't have to say, but I will. Don't put Hitler on your video board. Don't. Yeah, don't do it. If you're going to put play a video from YouTube, watch it first. The explanation makes sense. They put a video on the video board. It was a trivia thing in the context of the video. Sure, I guess that's interesting trivia, although it's not even that good of a trivia question about where Hitler was born. But watch it before you put it on your Jumbotron, because then someone's going to pull their phone out and take a picture of you with Hitler on your video board, and you don't want to do that. That is not right. That is not good, especially given the political climate right now. Don't put Hitler on your video board, period, ever. End of sentence. Michigan State, what a calamity of errors this season. It is just one more reason that the rest of the big ten is laughing at you.

[00:31:36]

Holy.

[00:31:36]

Shit. Don't put Hitler on your video board.

[00:31:40]

Another note to that, if you are making a trivia YouTube video, I would avoid the Hitler questions in general, but if you are going to have one, use an unflattering photo. Don't use a LinkedIn headshot. Use a bad photo. There is a whole lot of elements to this. Michigan State is such a.

[00:31:55]

I haven't heard that take yet.

[00:31:56]

Lighting too good.

[00:31:58]

It was like, Yeah, you picked a nice photo, and you shouldn't have done that. You should have picked a really bad photo. This is... Well. So let's look ahead to this weekend. It's a letdown. Not the best college football weekend we've had so far. We have Oregon, Utah, which should be good. Georgia, Florida, Duke, Louisville, and then they put Colorado, UCLA on prime time.

[00:32:20]

Which is amazing. I love it. They're like, We know that Deion Sanders is going to get better ratings than our other Pac-12 games, so we're just going to put that one on prime time. So Deion is playing on ABC against UCLA. I expect UCLA to win. They've got a really good defense, but they have had some struggles on offense, so maybe it will be interesting. I'm going to watch that one for sure. The thing that stinks, though, is that the Duke and Global Games and the Oregon and Utah games are at the same time. So we're going to have to do some YouTube multiviewing. I will be at the Notre Dame Pit game this weekend, which is also at 3:30, and hoping that Notre Dame doesn't get narduzied. Pit lost in a absolutely brutal fashion. I think it got overshadowed by a lot of the other carnage in the ACC this weekend, but go watch the end of the Pit-Wake Forest game, which is a discussing sentence. I can see that. A Christian Beyer slide for a first down was a pivotal play in the fourth quarter. One of the most just... I don't want to say bad play calls because it's so subjective, like when a player starts sliding, but the entire end of the game hinge on it, and it was crazy.

[00:33:33]

So you should go watch that if you like watching Pit lose.

[00:33:36]

I like seeing Pat Narduzzi happy, though. I love seeing him happy. But not this weekend. I want to see you happy more. Do you? Yeah. So when he's walking out there all confident with props and shit, there's nothing better. When he's got a prop, he is at his absolute best. Vibes are so high.

[00:33:55]

Speaking of props, we have to talk about UTSA's head coach, Jeff Trailer, doing a little head coaching bit with mousetraps and smashing his finger in a mousetrap. What? I don't.

[00:34:08]

Even understand what the mousetrap was for? What it's symbolized?

[00:34:13]

Don't take the cheese. I think it means like, they're on a win streak right now. I think it means don't get distracted, stay focused, because if you if you go for the cheese, you're going to get your hand smashed. I guess he went for the cheese, though. I mean, I would go for the cheese, too. I love a little square of Swiss, little cramombert, maybe some bre, maybe a little blue cheese, maybe some goat cheese.

[00:34:34]

I.

[00:34:35]

Just-chutter.

[00:34:36]

Him going to the team doctor being like, We have a problem. With a mouse drive on his fingers. Oh, my God. I love college football coaches. I think more props should be involved everywhere we go.

[00:34:47]

Blue bases, mousetraps, whatever else we got. Conor Stallions, bring the props with you everywhere. I agree.

[00:34:55]

This weekend, though, you brought up a good point. I realized Florida Georgia also at 3:30. What's the hell, TV networks? This is the hell, TV networks. -this is everything on the exact same schedule. Kind of a bummer. I am really excited for Oregon, Utah, though. I think that is going to be our best game of the weekend. Utah is going to have a really good defense. I saw them at USC this weekend, made Kayla Williams cry. My Oregon-That's not good. Yeah, it's not good. Also, anyone saying he should sit out the rest of the season, be so serious right now.

[00:35:23]

That would.

[00:35:25]

Be very silly. He's so, for real, right now. He's not going to sit out the rest of the season, and he shouldn't do it. Feels like a big game for the Pac-12th. Both have one conference loss. Something I realized last week when I left the game, and it didn't hit me till I saw a Utah fan celebrating after, is like, That was the end of that rivalry. That's done now. Usc and Utah are not going to play each other every year. And this is another game that we're going to lose that's normally pretty good.

[00:35:49]

Oh, man, that made me sad, Lucy. You got to see the last one. I also... Usc is playing Cal this weekend. It shouldn't be that big of a test for them, but they're on a two-game losing streak and Lincoln Riley is sick. Cliff Kingsbury is back in college football as the stand-in head coach for Lincoln Riley while he's sick. I don't know how long Lincoln Riley will be sick, but it seems like he's pretty ill and has to stay home. So I hope he gets better soon. But Cliff Kingsbury will be back on the sideline of a College football game for the first time since he was at Texas Tech, Lucy.

[00:36:25]

I wish he was better at defense because that's what they need. That's where the problem lies, to let a pig farmer do that to you. And Kyle Whitting out here being like, We'll take our pig farmer over your Heisman winter any day. It's a shame they're not joining the Big Ten. It really is.

[00:36:41]

And they really would fit in well, I agree with you. All right, well, we're almost done for this week. Before we go, got to give Miami their kudos, Lucy. One and over time tough one against Clemson with their backup quarterback. Debo Sweeney with the quote of the week saying in his press conference that Clemson's team psychologist would be on Suicide Watch.

[00:37:02]

It was funny. It was very funny. The delivery was very good. Debo can tell a joke.

[00:37:09]

He has apologized since. He has said some crazy things in his day between that and Jeff Traylor and... God's name, Amatis. It's just been a banner week for college football.

[00:37:25]

It's... God. I lost money on that one, too. I had Clemson money line.

[00:37:29]

I did, too. God damn it.

[00:37:31]

God, Washington, Clemson. And we don't have the Iowa game this week? They're on a buy? How am I supposed to make money? No wonder. Draftkings, what are you going to do about that?

[00:37:42]

There is some breaking news before we go, Lucy. Charlie Weiss, the former head coach of Notre Dame in Kansas of New England Patriots lore, tweeted one request, moving forward, please drop the junior when discussing my son. He has earned top billing, and if either of us should be tagged, just call me senior. I'm proud of him both on and off the field, and he deserves number one status. Just call him Coach Charlie Weiss. Thank you. What a tweet. His son, Charlie Weiss Jr, the co-offensive coordinator at Mississippi, now officially has become Charlie Weiss. Big day for Nepo Babies everywhere. So Charlie Weiss, senior is right. Charlie Weiss Jr, probably a better coach. Now he's just Charlie Weiss. From now on, the young one has become Charlie Weiss.

[00:38:28]

Meanwhile, Kurt Ferrantz is going to Brian right now and be like, I need you to take your mom's maiden name. I need you to do that for me. I know you're in your 40s. I really need you to get.

[00:38:38]

This done. Please change your name. You're bringing shame to our family.
