Texas Longhorns' Season Overview
00:00:57
Speaker
Now, let's join the conversation in progress.
00:01:02
Speaker
Another Texas preview.
00:01:07
Speaker
Round three with these guys in year two of the SEC. The eyes of Texas are upon us, eh?
00:01:17
Speaker
I suppose. I suppose they are. i yeah i think I think that it's going to be an interesting and interesting matchup um based on everything that I'm seeing in my extensive research.
00:01:30
Speaker
So extensive.
00:01:35
Speaker
I, I think so too. I think so. I'm, I, I agree. um spend some time and just through like, you know, gathering the things that we look at, uh, that we'll get, we'll get to, but, um, yeah, it's been, it's been interesting and it's been an, I think it's been an interesting season for texas Um, all the hype kind of came back down to earth momentarily. And now all the hype is almost back.
00:02:04
Speaker
Um, so I think I feel like it's been a bit of ah a roller coaster for these guys. Yeah. I think that, um, I think i would have, I would have preferred to have played them earlier in the season. Cause I feel like that much like we're seeing with Georgia, they're kind of figuring things out. It seems like,
00:02:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. um Yeah. I don't know. I think that's the thing right in the new college football we've been talking about. You know, you got to kind of get going by, by the right time.
00:02:34
Speaker
So, yeah. And but as you've said on our podcast, John, we are everyone's Superbowl. So expect to get their best shot. We, we, we should.
00:02:45
Speaker
mean, basically all all Texas needs to win out in order to have a shot at making the playoff. Right. Yeah.
Impact of Georgia's Win on Texas
00:02:53
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I would, I i think so, yeah.
00:02:56
Speaker
So we're we're facing yet another team that is desperate for a win pretty much. And that kind of classifies everyone that we're playing. You know, we just got done playing Mississippi state who was desperate for another sec win Florida desperate to beat beat Georgia for the first time in nine years. Yeah.
00:03:18
Speaker
The, you know, you had a missing coach, the Auburn situation, like, everyone we are everyone's Super Bowl so far this year I feel like yeah I would say that that might be somewhat disingenuous because the Texas A&M game is probably going to be much bigger for Texas fans i think that's fair that's fair yeah but as far as their season goes we could probably end their season this weekend hmm
Texas' Rollercoaster Rankings
00:03:50
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that it would that would be tough for them to climb back, you know, try to get to that three loss playoff team conversation. um It would make that Texas A&M game even more important. But I think you're right.
00:04:03
Speaker
and think you're right. Yeah, it would be interesting to see like what happens if they don't win you know against A&M and m and you know they lose to Georgia, obviously. um So I think that it would be interesting to see what but what what do you do with that?
00:04:22
Speaker
Because we're we're facing the team that has ah quarterback that, by and large, everyone picked to be the Heisman winner, which... And Feinbaum, think, talked about that today, about how he's got some answering to do, some crow to eat in regards to that prediction, which, frankly, a lot of people have those predictions as well.
00:04:41
Speaker
Yeah, he wasn't alone. Yeah. um But they're preseason number one, preseason Heisman candidate. Like all of the things were set up for for Texas and they haven't executed.
00:04:53
Speaker
So to say that this season so far has been a disappointment is probably an understatement. Send them home with three or four losses. Now you're talking about questions like, ah they yeah is Sarkeesian going to end up on the hot seat kind of thing? Hmm.
00:05:11
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Dude, there's like so many narratives to go around with this for sure. Um, they went from number one to like unranked. Right. And now they're back in the top 10.
00:05:22
Speaker
Like it's, it's, it's been a wild, crazy season for them. So like, how, how does that happen? Yeah. Yeah. It's absolutely. I think they were like the fat wasn't, weren't they like the fastest to ever go from like one to unranked, like in a season?
00:05:35
Speaker
Um, I don't know, but it was pretty quick. But then here we are. Here we are. and it's a top Now it's a top 10 matchup in Athens. Kind of like we thought it would be, right? Maybe not exactly the same, but still, you you looked at this on paper before the season and you you thought it would be a top 10 matchup.
00:05:53
Speaker
And
Origin of Bevo's Name
00:05:54
Speaker
here we are. And it is. Yeah, seriously. um i don't, yeah, I mean, it wasn't too long ago that we had, you know, we had Arch Manning on campus and everybody was like,
00:06:06
Speaker
oh man, we got to get our, you know, all that kind of stuff. And it's like, well, that ended up okay for us. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. um Things have, I think things have worked out well for everyone. I think, you know, baked into the, to me, a couple of stuff from Feinbaum was also his under, not only, you know, I guess his overestimation or whatever about Arch, but also his underestimation of, of Gunnar Stockton.
00:06:34
Speaker
So, yeah. love Love to see that that commentary in the media. Right. All right. Let's run through some of the things. Let's run them. We'll we'll quickly quickly remind everyone that you can follow us at MyGottaPodcast on Twitter, Instagram, ah YouTube, Facebook, and TikTok.

History of Texas Longhorns
00:07:22
Speaker
All right, let's do kind of the matchup rundown here. So we've got kickoff is Saturday night at 730 at Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium. The dogs come in eight and one and six and one in the league.
00:07:35
Speaker
Texas seven and two, four and one in the SEC. Two less SEC games than Georgia has played. That's interesting. um The dogs are number five in all the polls. Texas number 10.
00:07:46
Speaker
That includes the the CFP ah poll as well. um This game is on ABC. So reminder, get you an antenna. If you're in the YouTube TV situation, if you have an antenna and you're going watching it from home, you can watch this game for free with an antenna, a digital antenna. Or if you're an old if you're an old man going old school ways, switch to Comcast.
00:08:08
Speaker
yeah Or just if you always had cable or is satellite, a you're fine. And you're like, Jim, what are you talking about? um The broadcast crew, the the big one, Chris Fowler, Kirk Curbstreet, Holly Rowe, plus Laura Rutledge. So this is one of those games where they add the extra sideline reporter.
00:08:23
Speaker
ah So you know it's a big one in Athens. SiriusXM Station 84. I guess that's what happens when we're at home. The official hashtag that we will forget to use is hashtag Tex vs UGA.
00:08:35
Speaker
um And let's see, all-time series. Haven't played these guys a ton. Texas leads the all-time series. four to three um so we've got a chance to tie up the all-time series on athens you in athens on saturday uh georgia won the last meeting obviously 22 to 19 in overtime in the sec championship game last year uh also this is texas first ever trip to athens so they have never they've never played between the hedges uh before so so this will be the first time Um, weather looks pretty good. Uh, like in the seventies during the day, a seven 30 kick, I think it's going to get down to like 60, little below 60, probably by the time the game ends. The only thing I don't know, JP, that I'm a little concerned about is could there be swirling winds? I don't know how cold it'll be in the upper deck. So we'll have to see again. Uh, we'll probably layer, I think.
00:09:27
Speaker
Otherwise we're going to up buying Lily another blanket or something. I was about to say, make sure you bring your blanket. Bring the stadium blanket. Bring the stadium blanket for good vibes. She was actually using that stadium blanket.
00:09:39
Speaker
ah It's not a stadium blanket, but we bought it in the stadium. ah she had She was using that tonight. It was pretty funny. I mean, I'd say it's a stadium blanket. it's it's a ah it's pretty low It's pretty big.
00:09:50
Speaker
Yeah, it's good. It's good. Actually, I like that blanket. All right. um I believe there is a JP fun fact this evening. next Yeah, so I went down the rabbit hole on Bevo, Jim. um have you do you recall us ever talking about Bevo at all?
00:10:10
Speaker
um Other than like when he tried to attack Ugga, didn't have a podcast yet, but we probably talked about that. Other than that, I don't recall. If we talked about it, don't remember. so I'm going to address a couple of things. so One, there are a couple of different stories about how their mascot got its name.
00:10:31
Speaker
them and One of them that seems to be the most popular is rather interesting. and I'm going to kind of talk about that for a second here. Um, so apparently think it was 1915.
00:10:46
Speaker
I think it was 1915, 1916, something like that. ah texas a and m and texas played to a thirteen nothing loss in which Texas A&M kidnapped the the mascot, the Longhorn, and branded the score to his buttocks or you know wherever wherever wherever you brand the the cattle
00:11:17
Speaker
Sure. um And i guess that in order to save face, the student body decided to brand and change the name from like a 13 and made it a B and somehow fashioned an E and a V
Cultural Significance of Bevo
00:11:33
Speaker
and an O.
00:11:35
Speaker
into his brand there got it and so from that point forward it was called Bevo which I think is interesting but there is a ah counter argument from another website which I'd be curious to know like how John i think he's meeting with was it a Texas Ghost or something like that e yeah i'd be curious to know like what they think about this this story or this lore i guess i should say um i think that uh one of the sources uh texas exes um basically talks about how this is kind of like a
00:12:19
Speaker
a misnomer of sorts. Um, but basically the, their story, their version of the story is that it's short for beef. Um, I guess like when you're making playful names, you add an O to the end. And so beef is, beefs are like the plural of beef.
00:12:39
Speaker
Um, and so, I think that adding the O is like a playful slang term, um, kind of became like beve O. Um, and so that's, that's kind of the evolution of how the, the slang terms of the time kind of went, uh, by adding an O to the, to everything.
00:13:00
Speaker
um I'm not sure which one i ascribe to. um the other thing that that's interesting, like the beave was also like a non-alcoholic beverage ah from the time period as well um that Anheuser-Busch, I guess, kind of put out or whatever.
00:13:18
Speaker
um Pivo is also a bohemian word for beer, which there's a lot of bohemians in like, you know, former like... I want to say, is it Dutch? Is it Czech? I'm not sure. like there's There's Eastern European heritage in the and in Texas, which is where Shinerbach kind of came from, right?
00:13:40
Speaker
Got it. um But anyway, Bevo was just like a it was a long-term success. It was a long-term successful drink.
00:13:51
Speaker
of the time. um But it was basically like a near beer kind of product that was produced by Anheuser-Busch. um But yeah, it was kind of like a right around the time when Prohibition was coming out as well.
00:14:07
Speaker
um And it kind of became popular in the 20s with Prohibition. But that said, Bevo was kind of a play on some of those words. So which one do you think, Jim? is it Is it near beer?
00:14:21
Speaker
Like, i don't know how I would feel about having like a non-alcoholic ma mascot. um Is it, and they changed it, they changed it because of the prank to try to save your face or is it, ah or is it the the other option, which is the the beef thing?
00:14:39
Speaker
I'm leaning towards the saving of the prank because I mean, here, I'll give you my, my analysis. This is me literally just reacting to this on the fly. Like, why would that lower content? Like, I feel like that wouldn't be something that Texas fans would want to like prolong like, Oh man, like A&M branded our mascot, you know, like I feel like, you know, like you wouldn't make that up you can't make that up. Yeah.
00:15:02
Speaker
Yeah. So, and that day like yeah. So this is my, that's, I don't know. That's my thought process. So I'm going with that one. I'm going with that one too, man. Like, dude, like if, if something like that has been in existence for so long in vernacular, you know, and in your, yeah. I mean, it seems like that that's, that's the case. Cause that was what was coming up when I was researching this. Like, I was like, Bevo is kind of an interesting name. Like what the heck's going on with that? Let's, let's, let's run that down.
00:15:32
Speaker
I feel like we need to get, ah feel like we need to get Jason Hastie's counterpart at the
Bevo as a Texas Icon
00:15:37
Speaker
university of Texas involved here. Nice. I like that. I like that. We'd have some inter-conference history lessons.
00:15:47
Speaker
ah history history lessons Yeah, I agree. i think that's definitely something we need to look into is ah the the Hasties history crossover events ah with our fun apps.
00:16:00
Speaker
that's a good That's a good idea. Yeah, but they have some pictures. If you go to the Texas X's website, you'll see some. I always thought that I always thought that the Texas Longhorn was burnt orange. Like you think of you think of Bevo and you probably are thinking of like an orange tinge. Maybe there's some white spots kind of interspersed.
00:16:23
Speaker
Kind of like you think of Ugga. He's white and maybe he's got some brown spots or whatever on the back of him. But generally speaking, I think everybody kind of considers Ugga to be a white English bulldog.
00:16:35
Speaker
Yeah. I kind of think the same thing about Bevo, but if you go and look at some of the, some of the pictures, the historical pictures here, like there's ah giant black Bevo and Texas longhorns come in other colors.
00:16:50
Speaker
So I thought it was kind of interesting. i think that they've kind of settled on the the look that they have now. um So I don't think that we're going to see too many like black or brown,
00:17:01
Speaker
uh bevos we're probably going to see the burnt orange variety the rest of our days i would i would imagine yeah yeah i would imagine as well and that is how i think of it because that's that is the color of the bevo who assaulted again or attempted to assault i know so So the other thing that I'll the other thing that i'll mention and as part of like the tacit research here, um like a
Georgia-Texas Rivalry Context
00:17:24
Speaker
secondhand research, apparently in the 1920s, Texas Longhorns almost became extinct.
00:17:32
Speaker
um I guess that ah as ah settlers moved west, they leveraged Texas Longhorns' cattle they Because they were very easy to raise.
00:17:45
Speaker
Apparently they're very hard they're they're a hardy breed. um However, with the advent of barbed wire and the end of like free range grazing and those kinds of things, um they don't do well contained.
00:18:05
Speaker
and They don't do well in the modern day environment. um cattle raising and so on top of that they're also a leaner cut of meat so that's why i do recall talking about that in our last in one of the last texas texas matchups that we had ah do remember talking about the fact that bevo is not like you you would not enjoy a steak coming from a texas longhorn apparently yeah So i guess so with the advent of the railroad and things like that, and as time wore on, tastes changed.
00:18:42
Speaker
European meat would make its way to the United States and people started preferring the Angus varieties. And um i think there's like another one starts with the H like Hertfordshire something like that.
00:18:55
Speaker
um Anyway, european European cattle that has a fattier cut. So Bobby, your Snake River Farms steaks, etc.
00:19:06
Speaker
um obviously are probably coming from not a longhorn. They're probably coming from an Angus and angus cow. um They make fattier, better cuts of meat. And so as ranchers tried to shift towards changing tastes, they would go away from the longhorn and they would crossbreed and they would breed out all of the bad things that were in the texas longhorn i think that the the numbers got down to where there were only 27 purebred longhorns in existence at one point in the 20s and i guess someone somewhere and at that time period decided to get concert conservation going
00:19:47
Speaker
and they decided to you know to save the save the breed, basically. um yeah So every every Texas Longhorn descended from those 27, and they just kind of bred them for their strengths moving forward to you know with the big horns and all that kind of stuff. Gotcha.
00:20:07
Speaker
Anyway, long-winded way of saying, not a great steak. Yeah. Not a great steak. I think we have ah some some further steak conversation coming up. A little foreshadowing for the list of questions.
00:20:19
Speaker
Sounds good. um We're going to And the horn's down. um We're going to do a repeat of what we did last week. I'm going to insert Hastie's history ah in later.
00:20:32
Speaker
um Just a scheduling conflict this week. So we're going to drop that in right here.
00:20:52
Speaker
All right, here's Hasey's Hargit history for Texas. January 2nd, 1984 may or may not have been the most exciting day in college football ball history. It was almost certainly, though, the most exciting day of the old bowl system. The 1983 Bulldogs were loaded with talent at every position except for two.
00:21:08
Speaker
The most glaring hole in the roster had worn number 34 from 1980 to 1982, but had skipped his senior season to play for the USFL's New Jersey Generals. In Herschel's absence, Coach Dooley had to rely on a committee of running backs.
00:21:21
Speaker
Sharing the load that season would be Keith Montgomery, David McCluskey, Barry Young, and Tron Jackson. Starting at quarterback was John Lastinger, who had replaced Buck Ballew after the 1981 season.
00:21:33
Speaker
Lastinger was criticized throughout the 1983 season for his lack of production. He finished 1983 with a completion percentage of 49%, with only six touchdowns and five interceptions.
00:21:44
Speaker
Reflecting the struggles in the passing game, Herman Archie, Georgia's leading receiver, had only 355 yards and two touchdowns for the year. Lastinger, though, was a winner, and Coach Dooley stuck by him.
00:21:56
Speaker
Oddly, Lastinger had played his high school football for the Valdosta Wildcats, where he'd replaced Buck Ballew as quarterback following Ballew's graduation. Coach Dooley recruited heavily from Valdosta. Georgia's regular season had only two blemishes, tie with Clemson and 13-7 loss to SEC champion Auburn.
00:22:14
Speaker
Texas was a powerhouse in the Southwest Conference during the 70s and 80s. Under coach Fred Akers, Texas had run through the 1983 regular season undefeated and had handed Auburn their only loss of the year.
00:22:25
Speaker
Under the bowl system, Auburn, the SEC champion, was bound to play in the Sugar Bowl, where they were matched with Big Ten runner-up Michigan. Georgia, as the conference runner-up, was matched up with Southwest conference champion Texas in the Cotton Bowl.
00:22:38
Speaker
In the Orange Bowl, Big Eight conference champion Nebraska was matched with upstart independent Miami, coached by Howard Schnellenberger. Going into the bowls on January 2, 1984, Nebraska was ranked ranked number one, Texas was ranked number two, Auburn was ranked number three, Illinois was ranked number four, and Miami was ranked number five.
00:22:56
Speaker
Georgia was ranked number seven, so had no chance at a national title. To start the day, UCLA, defeated by Georgia in the first game of the season, upset Big Ten champion Illinois in the Rose Bowl, leading to a showdown of the Cotton, Orange, and Sugar Bowl winners to determine the the national champion.
00:23:11
Speaker
Auburn defeated Michigan nine to seven in ah in a dull Sugar Bowl. Miami shocked Nebraska thirty one to thirty in an all-time classic Orange Bowl. If Texas beat Georgia, they'd be national champions.
00:23:22
Speaker
If Georgia upset mighty Texas, the championship would go to Miami. The Cotton Bowl was a defensive slugfest. Both teams were stout on that side of the ball and limited on offense. Going into the fourth quarter, neither team had scored a touchdown, and Texas led 9-3.
00:23:36
Speaker
Late in the fourth quarter, Georgia, facing 4th and 17, punted. Texas returner Craig Curry, who was not the regular punt returner, muffed a punt, which Georgia's Gary Moss recovered on the Texas twenty three yard line Barry Young and Tron Jackson each carried the ball, and the Dogs faced third and four on the Texas 17-yard line.
00:23:55
Speaker
Lastinger noticed that the Texas defense had a line to one side over Georgia's wide receivers, so he called for an option play to the other side. Lastinger took the snap and ran to the end of the line where a Texas defender, expecting Lastinger to pitch the ball, keyed on Tron Jackson.
00:24:09
Speaker
Lastinger kept the ball and stretched over the goal line for the only touchdown of the day. Kevin Butler added the extra point, and Georgia led ten to nine A Texas drive coming to nothing so the Georgia, um so the dogs were able to burn out the clock, denying Texas their national championship.
00:24:25
Speaker
We've been playing for the national championship the past three years and it's been taken away from us twice, said Georgia safety Charlie Dean in the red and black. I was thinking, well, let's take it from somebody else and let them get the feel of what it's like to have something very valuable taken away from them.
00:24:40
Speaker
Miami, by virtue of its win over Nebraska, won its first national championship and set the stage for its dominant run throughout the 1980s. Lastinger's run epitomized the resilience of the 1983 team.
00:24:51
Speaker
Herschel was no longer in Athens, and the team lacked star power, but it found a way to win. And for a generation of Georgia fans, the answer to the question, what time is it in Dallas, will always be 10 to
Georgia vs. Texas Game Analysis
00:25:03
Speaker
9.
00:25:03
Speaker
And I hope everyone enjoyed Hastie's Hargit History. ah let's Man, that was amazing. It was so good. So good. I know what it's about, but we'll, we'll wait and get the full reaction later. Um, let's hit the news and notes. Um, so for Kirby's press conference, um, just a couple of injury updates. So he did get asked about drew Bobo. Cause if you recall, drew Bobo went out of the Mississippi state game.
00:25:26
Speaker
And, um, but Kirby said that he had a pretty bad laceration on his finger, um, but that he's patched up and would be ready to go for practice. Um, this was yesterday. He said that. so Bobo seems good to go.
00:25:39
Speaker
um then on loss of lucky, obviously had the scary hit ah that led to a targeting injection. um He said that he's doing well. um And Kirby said he thinks he's going to make a quick turn, but we'll see no hopeful kiss of death. Like we talked about have to assume he's in the concussion protocol.
00:25:56
Speaker
um So we'll, we will see with loss and lucky, but that's all that I saw. Yeah. Official injury bre report will come out Wednesday night. So we'll know more at that point. right.
00:26:08
Speaker
oh Let's hop into the matchup. um As far as like just to get the team level stuff, net yards per play, these teams are actually pretty equal. Georgia sitting at 1.05, Texas at 1.09.
00:26:23
Speaker
ah they are They have been much more fortuitous in the turnover margin than Georgia. We are still minus two. That's in the red. on turnovers for the season, Texas as a plus eight.
00:26:34
Speaker
Um, so definitely something to watch out for. Definitely one of those kind of protect the football, uh, type of games. Um, the other thing I would say, yeah the other thing I would say about these guys is like, i mean, they struggle on the road, right? So they opened the season with a a close, closely contested loss at Ohio state,
00:26:55
Speaker
They lost at Florida. um And then they also needed overtime to win at Kentucky. They played at Kentucky and they played at Mississippi state. They need to overtime for both of those games to win.
00:27:06
Speaker
um And they also opened like outside of the Ohio state game. Like they were just playing like in Texas, like forever. um And then finally venture, venture out of the state. Yeah.
00:27:17
Speaker
All right. So that's just kind of like a couple of team level things. So let's go to John, kind of like what we're looking for out of the Georgia offense.
00:27:28
Speaker
Like when, when, when Georgia has the ball, our offense, their defense. Um, so the, you know, notable players on their defense, uh, Anthony Hill is a junior linebacker. He leads the team with 63 total tackles. He's also got four sacks and one interception.
00:27:44
Speaker
Uh, Malik Muhammad is a junior defensive back. He leads the team, um, with two interceptions. And then Colin Simmons is a sophomore, ah coming off the edge. He leads the team with eight sacks, um,
00:27:57
Speaker
Um, the other thing that said and stands out to me, John is they're like they're rushing stats. So they're actually second in the FPS in rushing yards allowed per game at only 78.2. Um, I will say I've been looking at some of the, like Josh's stats, the dog stats that, uh, John has been publishing on, uh, the speakeasy site.
00:28:20
Speaker
Um, One thing I've noticed that Josh filters out and like only includes stats against the Power Four. So I think they've added a lot of their stats against some of that the weaker um opponents. Because if you'll recall, their schedule has included San Jose State, UTEP, and Sam Houston.
00:28:40
Speaker
So... Yeah, i was about to say, I mean, if you look at their schedule, you know, like you said, they won't they're they've played two less SEC games. So they effectively started the season with no SEC matchups.
00:28:54
Speaker
yeah And then they have played nothing but the SEC schedule since, I'm not sure when, same since since their Sam Houston game. So if you look at the scorelines, you're looking at, okay, so they had the close loss to Ohio State.
00:29:11
Speaker
and how you feel about that, you know, whatever. I think the Big Ten is kind of overrated in general based on what I've seen. But then you go into like San Jose State, UTEP, Sam Houston.
00:29:24
Speaker
I mean, they put up 38, 27, and points. they Mississippi State. from there they don't put up thirty points until they play mississippi state right and they don't and then they put up 30 against against vandy which we we all saw that one but yeah i mean Yeah, and I think they're you they're they're shutting down the run against those teams, right? like those Those teams aren't are are running on them for sure.
00:29:50
Speaker
So probably probably skewed a bit. I don't know that i have that. But that that was definitely something that jumped out to me. like they But I think that was kind of the thing planned against them last year too, right? like Coming into the the first Georgia-Texas game last year, like their defense was getting like all the pub, like all the Texas defense. Georgia hasn't seen anything like that.
00:30:07
Speaker
Um, and you know, they were kind of last year, were kind of saying, ain't played anybody kind of thing. Um, and this year I think they kind of pad those stats and they're really, they're really going. So don't know. mean, I think it's kind of one of those kind of like focus on focus on you, focus on what you're doing.
00:30:24
Speaker
Um, Gunner keeps doing his thing. And mean, if we can keep running the ball, we've been running the way we have been phenomenal. Yeah. Keep the, keep the offensive line vibes going. yeah and And again, I'll say protect that football.
00:30:39
Speaker
They do have 15 takeaways. so Agreed. Cool.
Counteracting Texas' Offense
00:30:45
Speaker
You want move on to kind of their offense or defense? i Yes.
00:30:51
Speaker
um However, I will say that... Yeah, you mentioned Simmons. That's going to be that's going to be a ah big matchup that that I was looking at in my research.
00:31:02
Speaker
um So a couple of things that i I'll talk about. um They are they're giving up. You said that they're they're doing well on on the run because might not say that they're not they're not doing very great against the run.
00:31:17
Speaker
They give up 78, only 78 yards rushing per game, but that's against all opponents. That's not limited to the power four. Right. The other thing that I saw that we talked about, um the the tight end, the the reemergence of the tight ends.
00:31:36
Speaker
um I think that the this could be a good game for the tight ends. um I also think that this is going to be a good game for the running backs, but that's just that's just my my two cents on that. Okay.
00:31:49
Speaker
Cool. Yeah, no, I mean, i am I'm with you on that. I agree on that as well. so ah you know, and then continue.
00:32:00
Speaker
I did love when Kirby, like he made a joke about like that, the people who don't like screens wouldn't like the Mississippi state game and like branches touchdown. um But I mean, I think that continue to work that and even whether you're doing it or you're faking it.
00:32:17
Speaker
um I think when we do throw those screens, it's, it's an extension of our, our run game there as well too. So would say keep working that as well. Got All right. Let's, sorry. Were you going to say something?
00:32:29
Speaker
I was going to say that their defense is also very good against the, in red zone efficiency as well. Okay. So putting up touchdowns, I think you're going to, you know, when we can, ah you know, points per opportunity and all those kinds of things, like maximizing our, our maximizing our offensive, our offensive efficiency, I think is something that, that we need to keep, keep an eye on.
00:32:54
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. ah Basically, touchdowns, not field goals kind of deal. Touchdowns, not field goals. But yeah, i think that we can I think that we should be able to expose some things with them, with the the tight ends. So it'll be interesting to see because, you know, they're coming off bye week. We're playing in yet another team that's coming off a bye week.
00:33:16
Speaker
Yeah, sure. So there's a lot wrapped up in that and and what they potentially have been working on as they kind of reach their, reach their, you know, ascendance the, of the season, so to speak.
00:33:29
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. ah Let's talk a little their offense, our defense. um So, I mean, I think, you know, Their quarterback is Arch Manning.
00:33:40
Speaker
ah He's a Manning. They have a Manning. um So Arch, ah let's see. He's got 2,123 yards, 18 touchdowns, six picks. He's got um a 62% completion percentage.
00:33:52
Speaker
um Quintravion Wisner is their running back. 88 carries, 338 yards, three touchdowns. We faced him. you know he he played against us last year, and I think we we actually contained him pretty well.
00:34:05
Speaker
Um, and then arch is actually the second leading rusher as well. So 69 carries 203 yards, six touchdowns on the ground. Um, and then through the air, Ryan Wingo, sophomore receiver, he's the leading receiver, five touchdowns, 593 yards. And then Deandre Moore is a junior, uh, wide receiver, one touchdown, 379 yards on 29 catches.
00:34:26
Speaker
Um, I mean, it did this, this is where, I mean, to me, i think this for them, like this game is kind of, I mean, it's on Arch's shoulders. This is what I, that's how I feel about Yeah. How Arch goes, how this team is, how this team goes.
00:34:40
Speaker
Yeah, 100%. hundred percent So, don't know, man. I'm looking – I am – here's what I'm going to looking here. We've talked about it so much, like pressure, right? Pressure is the great equalizer. Like what can we do? how can How can we disrupt them?
00:34:54
Speaker
Shoot, Kirby talked about in the Mississippi State postgame that he's almost to the point of like conceding the first touchdown and then we'll figure it out and adjust. So, I mean, again, if they take the ball and march down the field and score, do not be shocked. That seems to be what we do.
00:35:07
Speaker
um And then look for the adjustments. um What I am going to be looking for, though, is that pressure. What can we do to dial up pressure against these guys? Because we certainly did that against them last year. Yeah, it'll be ah it'll be interesting to see how, you know, how we approach this.
00:35:25
Speaker
um I think that did you mention that they were getting back people from injury as well? I did not. um I think that they're getting back. They're going to be getting back Ryan Wingo and Michael Taff, Jelani McDonald.
00:35:39
Speaker
um They've got three players that I think that they kind of are expecting to be contributing ah versus Georgia on this game. but Okay.
00:35:52
Speaker
The one thing that I think there is interesting, you know we talk about the schedule, we talk about you who they've played, and they've put up all these different points, what they're averaging.
00:36:02
Speaker
i think i think that those those games are definitely throwing off some of the averages. So when they've played on the road, Texas is only averaging about 95 yards a game when they're on the road.
00:36:14
Speaker
Yeah. um You mentioned a couple of games earlier the season where they lost those games and lost those matchups and they all they both happened to be road games, right? Mm-hmm. So I'll be watching for how Texas is able to kind of get the get the running running game um up to speed because if they become a one-dimensional team, it could be a very long day for for the Texas Longhorns because um overall, I think that if they're not able to – if they stick to their average – I mean, they're averaging 3.9 yards per rush
00:36:49
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. if you tell me If you were to tell me before the game, John, we're going to hold them to 3.9 yards rush, I would say that this is and easy win.
00:36:59
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I'm with you, man. um And i think, don't know, feel like that's kind of sort of what we did to them last year, right? mean, last year was Ewers, but Ewers was having to throw, mean, throwing nonstop.
00:37:13
Speaker
don't know. I guess the only the only thing, like, slight difference there is Arch's, I guess, propensity to take off and run. So, but we we held him in check when he came into the game last year for the most part, too.
Listener Questions and Community Engagement
00:37:28
Speaker
So, yeah. it's not like we haven't played, played him before. Um, but you know, definitely something to watch out for, right? Like you gotta, you gotta, when you are trying to get pressure on him, you still got, you gotta contain him. Cause you know that he'll take off.
00:37:42
Speaker
Yeah, I think that um based on what we saw based on what we saw last time we played these guys and Arch was in um dude, just dialing up pressure, man.
00:37:56
Speaker
I feel like this kid gets off of his off of his game very easily when he's faced with a lot of pressure. yeah. yeah Blitz and blitz and more. i agree with you, 100%.
00:38:06
Speaker
andent All right. i gotta I got a couple of special teams things. yeah and Unless you have anything else on that. Nope. Okay, so special teams um have to report that they do take special teams seriously.
00:38:21
Speaker
So their punter um punter is Jack Bower, Jack Bowmeister. Sorry, sorry if I'm not saying it correctly.
00:38:32
Speaker
um He is a senior punter. um He is from Bendigo, Australia. um He also is a transfer. So he is a transfer from Utah. um both of their kickers are transfers.
00:38:44
Speaker
Their, their place kicker is Mason Shipley. He's a senior. He's 14 of 18 on field goals. Perfect on extra points. um He's a double transfer. So he went to Oklahoma state and Texas state.
00:38:56
Speaker
Their website has says he has degrees from both Oklahoma state and Texas state, but he was only at Oklahoma state in 2020. So I'm not sure if that's correct, but that's what the Texas website says. So he is well very well educated.
00:39:09
Speaker
It sounds like Little League little birth certificates or something. Like, what is going on? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. um So, anyways, thats that's on their special teams. um You know, not obviously different kicker. Burt Auburn was the guy they had last year. um he He's still in college.
00:39:25
Speaker
He is at, like, Miami, I think. um But so he's he is the no longer at Texas, if you wondering. Okay. um I just realized I did leave out one thing we were talking about their offense.
00:39:37
Speaker
um Apologies to Lily. She pointed out to me that Arch is the only Manning that was not in Chad Powers. That was her assessment of Texas. So we can move on. I still need to watch the the season finale on that one. Oh, you haven't finished it?
00:39:50
Speaker
Oh, I don't think so. Yeah, no, I don't think I've seen it yet. That's so good. had a lot going on. You to check it out. Got to check it out. All right. ah Let's head to the listener questions.
00:40:01
Speaker
um And as we do that, we'll we'll remind everyone that the listener questions are brought to you by Working Web Media. um So Working Web Media helped us do redo our site, and they helped us maintain it.
00:40:12
Speaker
ah You can head her to mygodapodcast.com to check that out. um You can get to every episode. We got ah our a merchandise store is there as well. um So if you've got a small business, you need some help with your website or your online presence, head over to workingwebmedia.com slash dogs, and they will know that we sent you their way.
00:40:32
Speaker
right, starting it off with the building bonus. TM, TM, TM. ah Sorry for the late entry and hello from India. So Brett, I know he said last week that his question would be coming from India this week. So um number one, how many times will we play Texas before we go to A&M?
00:40:52
Speaker
So it's funny it's funny he asked that question because I was actually looking at the looking at the CFP rankings as they came out. And I believe... If you look at, so the week 12, the week 12 CFP rankings have Georgia at five and Texas is at 10.
00:41:11
Speaker
So you figure if we were to, you know, if, you know, God forbid something were to happen, we were, you know, if we were to drop one or whatever in Texas, let's say Texas wins, like, or if they drop one, like there there is a possibility that we can play them again. You know what i mean?
00:41:28
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. i mean, yeah, that that's definitely where this is going. Five or six, five or six times that we would have played them before going to go into Texas.
00:41:38
Speaker
Right. Exactly. um And then, and I had to, I'm on here. I'm out here on FBSchedules.com checking Georgia's schedule next year because I couldn't remember. And it looks like we do not go.
00:41:54
Speaker
to Texas A&M next year either. um We don't have Texas on the schedule year, but we Texas and Texas A&M both in 2027. next year but we go to we go to texas and texas a and m both in twenty twenty seven So there's another quirk.
00:42:13
Speaker
We'll have to see how that schedule comes timing wise. Right. So there's a chance we play another regular season game at Texas before then too. So I feel like you got to set the over under, feel like you said it at one and a half.
00:42:25
Speaker
You said it one and a half or and a half. Something, something in there. how many more times, how many more times? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. yeah So don't know, man, it could be, it could be, it could be two, could be three.
00:42:38
Speaker
So it's like, that was pretty great. Yeah. I was thinking in my head that we go to A&M next year, but we still don't. So, wow. We're going to play, suffice it to say, we're going to play them several times.
00:42:50
Speaker
yeah Yeah, seriously. um Okay, and then second, why do people think Glory is I've Been Working on the Railroad when clearly that is the eyes of Texas are upon you?
00:43:01
Speaker
So I guess their song is actually is actually that. do people Do people think that I've Been Working on the Railroad road does is Glory? People do think that, yes. You've never heard that?
00:43:11
Speaker
Oh, yeah. yeah People will be like, Georgia, your fight song is I've Been Working on the Railroad, which is like, no, it is not. No. Yeah. I mean, I'm not, I'm not a musically inclined person, but even, even my novice experience in that regard showcases that, that showcases that to be false.
00:43:29
Speaker
Yes. Yes. Agreed. So I don't know, man. Um, that's a good point. I would say you can't even get, just to say that in people's defense, they're not musically inclined because you are not in your proof that that's plenty.
00:43:42
Speaker
So. Right. Right. Yeah. All right, ah Brett, hope hope you're having a good time in India. I'm assuming I won't see you this weekend. um but but ah What is your favorite Indian dish?
00:43:55
Speaker
What's yours, Jim, while we're on the topic? i Honestly, I'm not sure. don't know what it is. We don't generally go to a lot of Indian like restaurants.
00:44:08
Speaker
um Generally, like my I mean, my favorite Indian food that I've had has been like at friends houses and I don't know what it's called. So like I could have you ask my friends and they get to.
00:44:21
Speaker
So I know that's my honest answer. I mean, butter chicken, you can't go wrong. i figure you can't go wrong with butter chicken. Butter chicken samosas and a mango lassi. Samosas are really good.
00:44:33
Speaker
Samosas are really good, yeah. Also like paneer and chana masala. panir and and chana masala Okay. Okay. Nice. Nice. ah but I bet and but he's getting some good eating over there.
00:44:45
Speaker
Oh, I'm sure. I'm sure. All right. but don't But don't do it off of the, like, on YouTube. They always have, like, the street vendors in India, and it's always just like, oh my gosh, that looks, like, so disgusting.
00:44:59
Speaker
Like, it looks good, but like, the way that you're cooking it is is insanely disgusting. Yeah. Right, right, right. All right. ah Let's see the next one. 51 to 7 GATA.
00:45:13
Speaker
um He says over 300 yards rushing versus Hale State. So I'm going to ask it again. How many times would you like to see the toss sweep this week versus Texas? Until they don't stop it Yes.
00:45:25
Speaker
Yes. I'm going to stick with as many times until it's not too many times. That was my answer last week. So that's still my answer. But in general, yes. Agreed. I think that's kind of, think that's two ways to say Give to me day long.
00:45:37
Speaker
Yeah, 100%. It's a great play, man. It's a great play. um Let's see. Let's head to John Michael D. He said, may hit this before the preview episode, but Kirby hitting them with the it's zero to zero in the victory highlights video was some elite fire, passion, and energy feels.
00:45:55
Speaker
I agree. And he said that it's close enough for him on his previous little stitches question about a leaked halftime speech being needed to win a natty. So...
00:46:05
Speaker
Hey, that is, that is, yeah, I don't disagree with that. I need more, i need more Kirby. I need more Kirby leaked audio in my life. Yeah. It's always a good.
00:46:15
Speaker
It's always good.
00:46:19
Speaker
All right, let's go over to Kevin at JustBagget on Twitter. You already know what time it is. It's time for Jeopardy. Your category this week is Between the Eras.
00:46:31
Speaker
And as always, the answer is...
00:46:35
Speaker
a daily double. All right, John, uh, he has sent us the answer, uh, and I have not looked at it yet.
Historical Georgia Football Events
00:46:42
Speaker
So we'll pull that up in a second, but he says in one of the strangest postseason results in college football football history, the 1949 orange bowl between Georgia and Texas ended with this highly unusual final score.
00:46:55
Speaker
Um, One of the last times it ever happened in a bowl game. I refuse to look this stuff up. So I do not, I don't know what the answer is here. know.
00:47:05
Speaker
i know If you don't know, then I'm screwed. Yeah, I know like the famous, there's a famous score, which is actually what Hastie's Hargit History was about. um So I knew that, I was aware of that game.
00:47:17
Speaker
I knew we played them in the Orange Bowl, but I do not recall what the score was. i mean, I'm assuming it's something super low. So like, I don't know, three to two.
00:47:28
Speaker
I don't know. I'll go, I'll go two to two. Two to two. Okay. Oh, okay. Jeopardy answer is zero to zero. was just about to say, it's not going to be zero to zero. is That's too obvious.
00:47:39
Speaker
All right. So he says, ah Kevin says, that's right. The 1949 orange bowl ended scoreless Georgia and Texas combined for just over 200 yards of total offense and multiple missed kicks. It remains one of only five zero to zero ties in major bowl history in the last ever in the orange bowl.
00:47:55
Speaker
interesting i will say proof that we're not cheating uh on the questions that kevin submit submits to us so yeah seriously ah oh man imagine imagine going to a bowl game and score me at zero zero like what what is happening dude seriously like can you imagine i mean i'm like also we're talking in the 40s and you go down to miami and Yeah, I'm wondering, like, was it was it like a monsoon? like And it was just so, yeah.
00:48:26
Speaker
Could have been, but also how many people were traveling with the team back then as fans? Or like you know or was it more like the locals that went to the bowl game? I'm We're going to have to put glasses on it. It's different times. Who knows? We should ask Jason if they have any any any pictures from this game.
00:48:40
Speaker
We're like racking up the questions for Jason. Jason, we're putting you to work. not On top of that, when he emailed us today, we also have already given him another topic to research something else on top of all this. Oh, man.
00:48:56
Speaker
Too good. um Which on that note, too, by the way, i don't think we talked about this. um The Jason sent this in his or he mentioned in his email today. So last weekend for Mississippi State, um it was like family weekend. So my my sister and brother in law and my nephew were in in town to visit Sophia um in Athens. And they they were like a lot. They did a watch party for the game.
00:49:20
Speaker
Um, and it was like a whole event that they were at and Jason hasty was there and like had artifacts. And so my sister texted me a picture, like, look who we, look who we just found. It's like, and it's the the whole family with Jason hasty.
Georgia Basketball Update
00:49:32
Speaker
So what was artifacts that he had? Yes. it was Oh, I don't know. I didn't get a rundown of what all he had, but, um, um, I don't know. I will find out. I'll, I'll see them this weekend and get that until amazing.
00:49:46
Speaker
All right. We will, we will move on. um Still no handle. um Addison has a friend of the show, Tim Riley, still submitting for her via Twitter. Addison, again, you can email us at mygotapodcast at gmail.com if you wish. What's your snap?
00:50:03
Speaker
just snap Yeah. ah the We did not list Snapchat ah in the social media at the beginning, which is accurate. um Okay. So Addison says, do we bring the blitz pressure or sit back and make Arch pass his way to success?
00:50:17
Speaker
Good dogs. I think you let that rip earlier, right? I mean, it's bring the pressure because that seemed to work last year. That's, and that's what I, that's what I expect us to do.
00:50:28
Speaker
I expect us to bring the, bring the blitz pressure this week. Yeah, I mean, we talked about on the first game. last game, that was pivot that had. Yeah. But yeah. ah pivot that we had um but yeah Yeah, so I like it, Asim. I like your line of thinking. But yeah, I i think we bring the pressure. All right, let's move on to Fletcher Proctor.
00:50:50
Speaker
Georgia Hoops has looked impressive thus far and faces Georgia Tech this Friday. If Jake Wilkins keeps dunking and showing up on SportsCenter Top 10, but I have YouTube TV and can't see it, does it really happen?
00:51:02
Speaker
Oh, wait, you meant football topics. Let's keep pounding the rock, dogs by 15. All right, and now we will have the basketball minute. um Dude, this team, this basketball, Georgia basketball team is fun to watch um thus far. Although I haven't been able, I've only been able to catch highlights because of the YouTube TV thing. Like I have not been watching the games, ah but the Jake Wilkins alley-oop windmill dunk is one of the, I mean, like he's living up to his his dad's name for sure. And I think almost as good as the dunk itself is the look at the look on Jeremiah Wilkinson's face.
00:51:38
Speaker
ah he's He threw the alley-oop. Yeah, and his jaw dropped, and then the whole team just erupted. So a lot of fun to watch. If you are in town for the Texas game this weekend, Georgia Georgia Tech is in the stag Friday night.
00:51:53
Speaker
um I will be there with Lily, my brother-in-law Greg, and my nephew Braden. so we We will be there at the Stag to cheer these guys on. So I'm going to, we're going to make it like a doubleheader Georgia athletics event weekend.
00:52:08
Speaker
So we'd love to see a huge turnout in the Stag Friday night. Man, that sounds a lot. That sounds like fun. wish that I could go. ah wish that i could go Yeah, yeah, yeah. um Definitely looking forward to that.
00:52:21
Speaker
so um But yeah, this will be the first like major major competition for team. So it should be fun one. I was going say, ah I feel like we had this hype last season, if I remember correctly. We had a pretty awesome preseason.
00:52:36
Speaker
And then we kind of got – it was a bit of a roller coaster. Yeah. It was, it was, but i mean, totally different team. um now like I'm, I'm still learning the, the, the, with the roster turnover.
00:52:48
Speaker
um and it is confusing when you have Dominique Wilkins son, and then another guy whose last name is Wilkins son. It's like, it's like, I gotta, I gotta get through that.
Beef Preferences and Grilling Tips
00:53:02
Speaker
Um, but we're working on Dude, the way that he threw that dunk down though, was, was quite entertaining. It's unbelievable. And I'm, I'm loving like the highlight packages that I've seen that include like Jeff Dantzler's calling of all the dunks. It's pretty sweet.
00:53:17
Speaker
It's pretty sweet. um I'm assuming that's that's like the SEC network plus or whatever calls. Right. Cool. All right. Well, yeah, Fletcher, ah thanks always. Hope you enjoyed the Hoops Minute and looking forward to seeing these guys in person on Friday night.
00:53:32
Speaker
All right, we're going to move on to Matt Key. ah He says, one, do you think Arch regrets choosing Horns since they haven't beaten Georgia since he got on campus? What do you think, ? I don't know. They strike me as a family that was calculated from the beginning. So I think that they liked Steve Sarkeesian. And i think that they're just kind of, as long as he's there, I think they're going to be there. And I'm not too worried about what he chooses. i mean, it's hard to get upset about any recruits choosing, you know, rivals regardless of what happens on the field.
00:54:04
Speaker
Cause it's just such a, it's just such a wild West situation right now. Like, Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. I think it was a calculated decision. So yeah, I, I doubt it.
00:54:17
Speaker
I doubt it. Um, second Williams is turning to, into a legit target. Does he get more? I know you've been, you've been asking for that. Like since you first saw him. Yeah, dude, kind of like this Wilkins dunk, you know, yeah there's just something that like, it's kind of like you see like those biopic episodes where it's like, you know, you have the the producer that's like trying to find the next big thing or whatever. And then all of a sudden you hear it.
00:54:47
Speaker
You can't really explain it. You just know, okay, that's a hit. like There's just something about when he's on the field and from what I've seen when he is on the field that's just like, i don't know.
00:55:00
Speaker
It's kind of like Zach Branch, Yakariah Branch. um you know you You look at him and you're like, okay, that's that's a ball player. and just think he's a ball player, and I think the ball player should get the ball.
00:55:14
Speaker
Yeah. I like it. I like it. I'm you. um Okay. And then finally, is the crowd going to be as loud as the Bama game? I think it's going to louder, actually. I think it's going to be pretty rowdy because you got pre-Thanksgiving crowd that'll probably be in town, and um you've got you've got that. You've got the the first time they've ever been there.
00:55:38
Speaker
um i like the fact that we're talking about wearing red ah versus a team that has orange in their color scheme. um i Yeah, I think that there's a lot. And then you got a night game.
00:55:51
Speaker
You're coming off of everybody's being cooped up from 29 degree weather. True. We're going to be we're all going to be we're all going to be raring to go. Yeah, i agree 100%. Honestly, i think i think night game is the biggest the biggest element there. um But yeah, night game, top 10 matchup, first time they were ever come to Athens.
00:56:12
Speaker
I think it'll be wild. Yeah. so Right. Uh, okay. This, uh, we're going go to Dwight, uh, due to dog one on Twitter. He had actually responded to Matt's question and he said, will hug dog have PB and J shots?
00:56:28
Speaker
Sorry. Will hug dog have PB and J shots? Let's tackle the most important stuff, please. Enough with the fluff subjects. Um, I believe Jason said he replied something to the effect of ah the tailgate menu is planned. He may have to add this.
00:56:42
Speaker
I'm going to say is like trash cans need to walk. Look out if this is available at the tailgate. So if you know, you know, if you know, you know.
00:56:54
Speaker
All right. Let's see. Let's go to Rue's Dixie Dog. um Okay. maybe You maybe have had a little bit of foreshadowing on this. What is the best cut of beef and why is it the ribeye cap?
00:57:06
Speaker
So it's not, we've established ah whatever it is, it's not coming from a longhorn though. No, it's not coming from Longhorn. ah I like the ribeye calf. but say that's ah that's That's a good pick.
00:57:18
Speaker
yeah um I do really enjoy ribeye, just the overall ribeye cut. um yeah I think if I'm picking steaks, that's probably what I'm going for. don't know, man. Best cut of meat. It's kind of like asking, like what what's what's your favorite kid?
00:57:40
Speaker
You know, like, i mean, there's some days i like this one, some days I like that one. I thought you were going to say like it's like asking you ah what's your favorite bourbon. Throw them out and i'll just have chicken.
00:57:53
Speaker
I thought you were going to go what's your favorite bourbon and it went in totally different direction. Yeah, I mean, same same concept ah yeah concept um i mean, New York Strip is good on on occasion as well. like you know There's there's a lot of different there's a lot of different cuts um and frankly like if you can get a real tender filet like there's nothing like a bacon wrapped filet with like you know blue cheese blue cheese crumbles or whatever um yeah i don't know if you're if you are into such things but you know i'd say i like it all but you can't go wrong with the ribeye cow
00:58:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm with you. I was i was always like a filet person, but i have I have, I guess, floated more towards the ribeye in my years. I feel like that the filet mignon was kind of like, you know, ah the De Beers company or whatever. like they They have really good branding. Yes.
00:58:54
Speaker
Like filet mignon has has really good branding. Agreed. And then you grow up and you're like, oh, wow, this is actually like just ah the tip of the iceberg. Right. Oh, wait, I didn't get a ribeye. And then there's actually it's that plus more.
00:59:05
Speaker
so mean Exactly. Exactly. um okay so then do you prefer reverse sear cast iron all the way or lump charcoal grilled? um I'm going to go lump charcoal that I ah that's what I prefer.
00:59:19
Speaker
So what I prefer versus what's practical. I'm a practical person. dude cooking it in the cast iron makes a mess, man. Yeah, that's true. um You get it all over the stove and everything, right? It gets all over the stove. It's all over the floor. Like maybe it's smoking. Like, I don't know. um Reverse sear is a good option. i feel like that I'm not as great with that one because it's a lot of steps, right? Like when you're, you know, we when you've got four kids, you're like, hey, it's it's time to eat. When it's time to eat, you got to eat.
00:59:54
Speaker
And there's nothing better than an open flame to quickly cook a ah hunk of meat. Yeah. Yeah. um True. Yeah. Charcoal grill, i would say is good.
01:00:05
Speaker
I've actually done, um i don't know if you've, i don't know if you've done this before or tried it, but like you can smoke if you smoke the steak for, you know, I want to say it's like an hour or two. i can't remember what I did and where you smoke it for, for an hour or two to get it, get it up to temperature.
01:00:24
Speaker
And then, and then you kind of do the reverse sear. um That actually was pretty good too. Like basically just, you're smoking it really low um for a little bit to get it up to temp and then you and then you just give it a good crust. so I usually do the opposite. So I'll do more like super high heat. Like saw on a big green egg, I'll do the super high heat and like sear it on both sides. And then like just totally shut the, shut the grill down, like close all the vents and just have all the smoke get there and then, and wait for it to get up to 10 from there.
Predictions for Georgia-Texas Game
01:00:55
Speaker
So I heat fast on both sides and then, uh, then slow the rest the way. So that's how I like to do it. Doesn't the high heat seal in all of the, I mean, it's like a regular just searing it.
01:01:08
Speaker
So I like it. i would say no. um Okay. And then last, that last, last piece piece of this, uh, best accompanying sauce, compound butter rose with rosemary and thyme, wine reduction, or just a simple pan sauce.
01:01:25
Speaker
The compound butter, uh, sounds the best to me personally. I mean, compound butter is is good um if you've got the time. Butter is good on anything. Yeah, you can't go wrong with butter. I mean um mean, that is like a good finish to pretty much any steak is, you know, as you're letting it rest, you just throw a knob of butter on it and you're good to go.
01:01:47
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. All right. Hopefully we did that justice. I think Hug Dog said this was like the best topic he'd seen.
01:01:56
Speaker
ah Look, man, you play against the Longhorns. You got to talk about some stakes. You got to talk about some stakes, especially in like, you know, Angus stake, not, not, not, not Bevo, not Longhorn. That's right.
01:02:07
Speaker
um All right. Fresh IRC podcast just said, ah this these I think he's kind of keys to the game. Build momentum with the pass rush and must find ways to force turnovers.
01:02:18
Speaker
So agreed. That sounds like a good good plan of attack for the dogs on Saturday night.
01:02:24
Speaker
Okay, Herman's question is what i what we I do know that this is what ah what Jason's topic was about. So what time is it in Texas? If you need help, check the 1984 Cotton Bowl score.
01:02:36
Speaker
And then he said, what's the difference between Texas Orange and Tennessee Orange? So do you know what time it is in Texas, John? I don't. It's 10 to 9. 10 to 9. Got it. Yeah. um And then the difference between Texas Orange and Tennessee Orange.
01:02:52
Speaker
I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere other than like... Here's my question for you. did do our um Texas fans, like, are they capable of wearing the same shade of orange?
01:03:05
Speaker
Because I feel like if you look at, like, Tennessee fans, like, none of the gear matches, you know? Like, it's all different orange. i mean Is the Texas orange kind of – is it more consistent? Or is it all over the place, like Tennessee orange?
01:03:16
Speaker
so So, Jim, the the correct answer is the Tennessee orange is fresh, fresh into the jail cell. Right. And then the Texas orange is like, OK, they've been in jail for a while. And that that that jumpsuit is is faded out little bit.
01:03:36
Speaker
OK, that's that's the difference. OK, got it. But they're both arrested for sure. OK. I got it. Now, now, now I'm on, um I'm up to date now.
01:03:49
Speaker
Amazing. Uh, let's go to boss dog. Um, he says this defense is peaking at the right time. Is there a team in the country that can beat the dogs as resilient as they are?
01:04:00
Speaker
If the defense gets to full potential. I mean, if the team that walked off the bus last weekend shows up to every game, i don't know that they're um don't know that there's anybody in the country that can touch them.
01:04:14
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. I think that's right. think that's right. um Let's do friend of the show, Tim Riley submitted his own question. Do y'all think something sparked coming out of the Florida or simply competition versus Mississippi state?
01:04:30
Speaker
Is this going to be a four quarter nail biter? Horns down, Texas sucks. Go dogs. um I don't think it was just the competition against Mississippi State. um i'm not and I'm not sure if it was something sparked or whatever. I still go back to what we talked about in the review. is i I think part of it is health, um especially on that offensive line.
01:04:48
Speaker
like I think that is making a huge difference. And you're now on speaking terms with Stacey Searles. So, like I mean, that's a big deal.
Enhancing Game Day Experiences
01:04:55
Speaker
I wouldn't go that far, Jim. and know we're on We're on the Christmas card list.
01:05:00
Speaker
okay because I think that's what they said. Sorry to misquote. I apologize. um ah yeah i I do wonder, and we did get a text message about this, I do wonder like was there some motivating element that we maybe didn't see coming into that Mississippi State game?
01:05:24
Speaker
Yeah. don't know. I feel like that they they looked they looked invigorated and they looked like they were having fun. Those are dangerous components on a team that has been underperforming.
01:05:36
Speaker
yeah When you inject having fun and being motivated into ah team culture and program like what Kirby has built, that is something to watch out Yeah.
01:05:50
Speaker
And it's, you know, and we, we were getting questions earlier in the year, right. About like, there's all the fire passion energy talk. Like, are we seeing it? And we definitely saw it Saturday.
01:06:01
Speaker
Agreed. Agreed. Yeah. if ah If a switch was flipped, let's keep it on i don't know. Yeah. Now that said, you know, i mean, it's hard not to ignore the competition because i think, uh, sure.
01:06:18
Speaker
I think didn't they hang on. I'm looking at the wrong screen. yeah i mean i mean you texas Texas also played ah Mississippi State and won 45-36 or 38.
01:06:34
Speaker
so yeah Even Mississippi State was able to put up points. um Similar setting, like you know you talk about common opponents and things like that. like um Mississippi State was able to move the ball on these guys and Mississippi State wasn't able to do a whole lot of stuff with us. Yeah.
01:06:51
Speaker
and we've played them fairly recently. um So there's not like, you know, any kind of disparity, like, Oh, we played them at the beginning of the season. We, they recently played the same, same, same opponent and we mopped the floor and they didn't.
01:07:05
Speaker
Yep. Yep. I mean, that's, Our three common opponents, I mean, they lost to Florida, and then Kentucky Mississippi State went overtime with them. So, for what it is. All One more standard.
01:07:21
Speaker
No, I'm second-guessing my over-under.
01:07:27
Speaker
We'll get there in a second after this. Fireball.
01:07:35
Speaker
All right, Jason Huggins, the hug dog, has chimed in. Fellas, time to show out horns down. Number one, which is more odd, the Texas A&M cheer dudes or ah Texas privilege?
01:07:47
Speaker
ah Definitely the cheer dudes. Yeah, shocking. We agree. agree I mean, UT definitely has some some privilege, ah but it's it's always going to be that c colton at Colton College Station.
01:08:03
Speaker
Yep. um Two, if you could change the in-game experience, what's the top two or three things you would do? The in-game experience? Are we talking about in the stadium? or That's what I'm assuming. That's what I'm assuming.
01:08:17
Speaker
Very fine question. I'm going to give one thing that I want to see to be a change from the last um big home night game. I don't want to hear this.
01:08:28
Speaker
Oh.
01:08:33
Speaker
Dude, I want to hear it at least, I would love to hear it at least once or twice. You do want
Tailgate Culture and Traditions
01:08:39
Speaker
to hear it? It's not fully retired. Just because I feel as though the crowd will appreciate it.
01:08:46
Speaker
Not every time. Not second it down. but like Not every second time, but just at it maybe at a key moment. Just drop it in there when you least expect it and see what happens and just kind of let sit.
01:09:00
Speaker
let it sit Okay. Okay. Okay. Um, wonder if there's a way to like, could they, could they like edit it to where it's not so fast?
01:09:10
Speaker
You know what mean? Like, i don't know. I feel like, I feel like if you drew it out a little bit longer, it might, might make a little more impact, but, possible um, anyway, uh, I, so I'll go kind of off the wall. The, the,
01:09:28
Speaker
do that well they did Do they do it in the the the replay that the ACC does where they show like the... Well, I mean, that's a conference thing, but yeah. Right. I don't disagree with you.
01:09:39
Speaker
no I wish the ACC would do that. Yeah, where you could see how they're how they're measuring things. that would be That would be cool. But do they show that in the stadium? um i miss I mean... Because I've only showed on the broadcast, but... I would assume no. i mean, I don't know. Maybe you're getting to see the replays, but I i highly doubt they're like playing the audio of what the people are saying in the stadium.
01:10:01
Speaker
I don't know. Right. Honestly, I'll say this. like Because we talked about this a lot last year. i feel like they made ah bunch of the changes that... I mean, not to say that they're like listening to the podcast or anything, but like you rattled off a list after... There was the game last year where Kirby was like criticized the fans. we We talked through a few things that...
01:10:19
Speaker
I think you kind of like rattled off a list. And honestly, like by the end of last season, I, especially like at night games, I think all those things were there. You know, like we don't see, I feel like there's a better, they've improved the flow of the game on like taking time out to honor, you know, like some random professor or whatever, like stuff like that. I think, you know, like, I think like that flow is working much better now. And it's like, you know, if there's a big moment, they're going to honor like some former players or you know, a past team, know,
01:10:45
Speaker
um That kind of stuff. So I think that has been done pretty well. We've seen neither trying things. I mean, that song, I joked about that song, but like they're trying some different things. They did the light up wristband things. I mean, that was something new. They tried those things. I'll throw, I'll throw. Yeah. So i was like, yeah, I was like, I don't, I don't really know like that. I would necessarily change anything else. Like there's, I feel like, I don't know. I feel like everything's gotten better.
01:11:11
Speaker
um so So I'll throw out just a couple of things just to
01:11:17
Speaker
marinate let I'll throw it out there and we can marinate on it. okay um Food options. like More like professional grade food would be something that I would point to as well. like you know like You go to the Brave Stadium and you like he got Holman and Finch and you know all this kind of stuff. like Having options like that that are a little bit more advanced than just going and getting a Chick-fil-A sandwich kind of thing.
01:11:45
Speaker
That said, double Chick-fil-A sandwich, highly recommend it after a full day of activities. Yeah. oh
01:11:57
Speaker
So I'll throw that out there. um As far as, I had another thing that I was going to mention and I'm totally blanking on it right now, but... um so So having like signature dish, like food, like professional, you know, kind of catering or whatever would be one thing.
01:12:13
Speaker
um Shoot. What was the other thing that I was going to mention? I was going to throw something out there. I've got one and maybe it'll come to you while I say this. I, I, my one thing is I would, and this is an old man thing maybe, but I would kind of skew back towards the red coats a bit.
01:12:29
Speaker
Um, is, and then maybe that's, maybe that's me and maybe that's actually not good advice, but like, don't know. I kind of like it when like we have like the third down music. I mean like shoot that the third down music from the red coats is in the cultural ball, like EA sports game, you know? And like last year when that game came came back, like that was the big like joke.
01:12:50
Speaker
like the stadium pulse thing. Like you play at Georgia, like, know, you can't, you can't survive the third down music kind of stuff. So don't know that that's the one thing I, I think we've kind of gone. i think people wanted a lot of changes on like what music is being played through loudspeakers and stuff. I would kind of, I'd go back a little bit more towards the red goes, but i don't know. That may be a me thing. i don't know that others agree.
01:13:10
Speaker
Yeah, I would say um having a, i don't know, I was thinking, I saw i saw a buddy of mine from high school that was the Ole Miss DJ. don't know if he still is or not. ah I have to go and double check. But DJ KO, if you're familiar with him. But um anyway, he ah he was the DJ for Ole Miss for for a while there.
01:13:34
Speaker
Like having a personality that's, you know, playing the music and, you know, doing the DJ kind of stuff, I think is kind of interesting. And I think we've had that in the past, but like, they didn't make like a big deal out of it. You know what i mean?
01:13:48
Speaker
think if you made a bigger deal out of it or, you know, set them up somewhere in the stadium would be something that would be pretty cool. Gotcha. Gotcha. Not necessarily think that that's something that we need or are missing, but that's something that I would say that would be, you know, that would be fun, I guess, for lack of a better description. So,
01:14:06
Speaker
Yeah. Okay. Cool. Uh, let's see. Favorite tailgate meal. Uh, I always guess go with Pondosan. It's, it's a, it's a dish and it's just a meal.
01:14:17
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. There's that. Um, man, dude, the barbecue, you know, yeah it's, that's it's hard. It's hard enough to go wrong with a barbecue sandwich at the tailgate.
01:14:29
Speaker
Yeah. Um, Barbecue with the with the the fix-ins and the sides. Some barbecue baked beans and the mac and cheese. I'm not a big be i'm not a big baked beans fan at the tailgates.
01:14:41
Speaker
um I ah tend to shy away from things that I'm worried I'm going to spill on myself. so Okay. okay oh ah I think i that's about as adventurous as I get.
01:14:53
Speaker
If I have to put my hands on something, that something's going to crumb off and drop on my shirt and I'm i'm going to get upset about it. yeah um But yeah I would say you just can't go wrong with barbecue But at the same time like man Dude a good burger at a tailgate That's true Those chargrilled burgers That we've had at the At Morris Hall Yeah those are good we Maybe throw a hot dog on there Definitely throw You definitely gotta throw ketchup on that bad boy though Amazing
01:15:26
Speaker
Amazing and exactly And exactly zero pickles. Oh, God. Brothers and best are freaking out right now.
Pregame Rituals and Local Eateries
01:15:35
Speaker
um Favorite pregame ritual? Obviously the pregame run. I was going to say there's the pregame run and then, I mean, Carol's Country Covered. Carol's Country Covered is pretty elite.
01:15:47
Speaker
Oh, I forgot to tell you this, or maybe i did tell you. I can't remember if i told you the other day when we recorded. but um So if you are in the Marietta area or Kennesaw area, there is a place that has been on – there's a guy that – he's an Auburn fan, but there's a guy that goes around Atlanta atlanta and tries food. It's kind of like like a white man's version of Keith Lee or whatever.
01:16:10
Speaker
Sure, yeah. um But he went to he went to this biscuit place that's nearby. So I bring him up because he actually came and was like amazed at the biscuit kind of thing.
01:16:22
Speaker
um So there's a gas station up the road from us called the Minute Saver. And it's a staple if you are from this area for the high school kids going getting chicken biscuits and whatnot. Guess what else they sell, Jim?
01:16:34
Speaker
ah They have a tenderloin egg and cheese? They have a tenderloin egg and cheese. Nice. And they make it fresh. Okay. So it's it's battered in fred and fried and cooked cooked by hand at this place. And so it's not as good as Carol's Crunchy Cupboard because clearly nothing can be. You know, it's like there will never, ever be able to be a replacement for that first Carol's bite. Yeah.
01:17:01
Speaker
um however it was definitely better than martin's attempt at a tec i was very disappointed in that one um but it is pretty pretty darn good i feel like darn good and i feel like we're we're nearing like bulldog brunch levels of talking about this like bacon red shrimp we're like we're and we're like tenderloin and cheese well in Dantzler we'll talk about like having like the shrimp off between like the two restaurants and now we're talking about like the TEC off between like who can stand up who can who can contend against Carol's Country Cover who among you who challenges me send your champion yeah if anyone can find a TEC out there that you think is on the level of Carol Carol's Country Cover let us know
01:17:50
Speaker
seriously like just it's kind of like you know these these these weirdos from austin they're into the breakfast burritos right we're we're we're in we're into tec which you know i know that uh michael's probably freaking out right now uh talking about talking about tacos and burritos but that's the second time you've offended him in the last five minutes
01:18:13
Speaker
but but yeah dude um i don't know i'll i'll take the tec for sure okay okay awesome let's see favorite pre-game ritual okay yeah yeah favorite pre-game uh ritual uh pre-run um the tec and i would say that um I would say that we're strolling up to the to the tailgate and cracking that first classic city lager is also a pretty, pretty awesome ritual too.
01:18:46
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, honestly, at this point though, it's also, it's, it's the walk from tailgate to tailgate. ah You know, you depart Morris hall, you stop by hug dogs, you get in the stadium.
01:18:58
Speaker
So that, that is, that's true. Like period that's the pregame ritual now. So yeah Jason, you're, you're part of it. You are part of the favorite pregame ritual.
01:19:09
Speaker
Awesome. All right. he He said, this is a big one, boys. Hunker down. So, agreed. And looking forward to it. Looking forward to it. Yeah, agreed. All right. I know you said you were questioning yourself. Now's your time to to make your final thoughts as we roll into the our last one.
01:19:26
Speaker
All right.
01:19:33
Speaker
My God, a freshman. Trying to put glasses on. 90-80, whoo, brother.
Nostalgia for Sports Broadcasting
01:19:40
Speaker
It is time for Coach Trillbill's Over Unders Texas Edition. um Shout out, Coach, for talking about the mistakes that we've made by going away from CBS.
01:19:53
Speaker
Oh, yeah. was it hit was it Was it Coach? Maybe it was Hunter. Maybe I'm misremembering. Um, I think it was Hunter that sent that, but I, I know, I know coach would, ah would agree. What was it? Um, Oh, he sent, it was an it was actually ah an old, it was an intro to the LSU Alabama game from years ago.
01:20:14
Speaker
It was like when, uh, the first time Saban coached Alabama team went to LSU and the, just the intro, the pregame intro, before they even got to that music was phenomenal.
01:20:26
Speaker
mean, you think like the way they would weave in like the stories. I mean, you just just think of like any CBS, uh, like any Georgia Auburn game, you know, any deep South old, old driver. Like the intro was always just incredible.
01:20:40
Speaker
Um, so yeah, I, Yeah, they would there they would give you a little bit of story with the the game experience. That's what I would change after i would i would change about the in-game experience. ah bring back Bring back Ron Franklin.
01:20:56
Speaker
Bring back Vern Lundquist. um Brad Nessler. Golly, dude. We have really downgraded with this yeah ESPN situation. um yeah and now then i mean i think that that's also um i think in part kind of why what's going on right now what's going on with the youtube tv thing but can you track todd blackledge going into random restaurants in college towns please yeah taste this yeah taste the town all right i used to we used to be a proper country yeah
01:21:28
Speaker
Yes. um As I recall, I have a slight lead in the over-unders. I call shenanigans. but i Yeah, well, that's fine. you can You can call it. You can call it.
01:21:44
Speaker
Okay, i am I choose to go first. So we're starting off on the offense, over-under Gunner Stockton, over-under 250

01:22:24
Speaker

01:22:39
Speaker
Correct. Correct. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We're going to switch to the defense and over to you, JP. um Over under 215 passing yards for Arch Manning.
01:22:50

01:23:01
Speaker
um Forced turnovers for the Georgia defense over under.5. I'm to say over. We we turned to these guys over multiple times last year. Yeah, i got I'm going to go over. I figure Arch is good for at least one INT. Okay.

Not an over under, but favorite cut of Bevo and McConaughey movie. i guess we had to I guess we had the steak cut earlier. We discussed the steaks. Do you have a favorite McConaughey movie?

01:26:01
Speaker
All right. Shout out Coach Joe Bill. Thank you as always for sending those in. Much appreciated. And and let's let's get to the predictions, JP. but yeah right, so this game, ah Georgia is favored by six points.
01:26:15
Speaker
um The over-under is 48.5. That gives you an implied score of Georgia 27.25 Texas from Odd Shark has super tight one, Georgia 32.2 Texas 31.4. um the predicted short score from odds shark has ah super tight one ah georgia thirty two point two texas thirty one point four Parker Fleming and his college football graphs has Georgia 27.5 to like 24.5 basically.
01:26:38
Speaker
And a half so like twenty four and a half basically and then our Podcast scoring impact has georgia twenty seven point four to texas twenty two um So everything everybody's got this like super close um super close tight game.
01:26:59
Speaker
and I'm going to throw out two things to kind of back up my i thinking here. So one, first, Texas has yet to score 20 points on Georgia um since entering the SEC.
01:27:11
Speaker
um Then also, Georgia has not lost to a top 10 team at home under Kirby Smart. We are 8-0 playing a top 10 team between the hedges under Kirby.
01:27:22
Speaker
um I do think ah Vegas knows what they're talking about, so i'm going to stick close to that. I'm going to say 24-17. I'm going 35-23. Okay. both do have the covering. I'll point that out. Okay.
01:27:35
Speaker
twenty three with both ah we both do have the dogs covering well like
01:27:46
Speaker
I just think that they've been giving up a lot of points lately. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Agreed. Cool, man. um Yeah. I think it'll be a fun one.
01:27:56
Speaker
um You know, I realize we get to light up Sanford and I think we as fans have a, you with games like this, we've got ah the ability to affect the game.
01:28:07
Speaker
So let's all go to get there and be loud and cheer for me. hundred percent 100%. We'll do it. We'll do it. I will be there. So Kim is bringing Ella home from school.

Okay. We got coaches pick them. Oh, that's right. We got to pick them. ah Let's hit the pick them against. Sorry. I took us down the rabbit hole of like what I'm doing. I threw you off. You did throw me off. ah Okay. We got South Carolina ah travels to number three, Texas A&M.
01:29:16
Speaker
A&M favored by 18 and a half. ah This is the noon game on ESPN. A nooner. and Okay. That's 11 o'clock local time, right? Correct. Yeah. So that could be interesting. That could be an interesting game, but I have texas a Texas A&M on that one.
01:29:32
Speaker
Yeah. I'm with you. um Let's see. Arkansas heads to LSU. LSU is favored by five and a half. This is 1245 on SEC network. It's another 11, 11 o'clock local time.
01:29:45
Speaker
Yeah. And Arkansas has yet to win a league game to this point. So LSU in a bit of disarray with, they're now trying to say ah that they didn't fire. Yeah.
01:29:58
Speaker
Well, apparently he hasn't been fired yet because they were just talking about the buyout. Right. Yeah. Somebody on Twitter was like, this is this is how the negotiation went. Like lawyer looks at the contract, 53 million, says, will you take 20 million?
01:30:14
Speaker
you take twenty million Right. Yeah. Brian Kelly. No. How about, how about 30 Brian Kelly? No. LSU's lawyer looks at the, and looks at the athletic department.
01:30:27
Speaker
He's good. The whole thing, the whole thing is wild. The whole thing is wild. um I don't know. I guess I want, I kind of, I'm, I'm going to say Arkansas. Whatever. Forget it.
01:30:38
Speaker
Whatever. Who do you got? I'm definitely going to take LSU and Baton Rouge, regardless of what time it is. Okay. um Let's see. Number 12, Oklahoma travels to number four, Alabama.
01:30:51
Speaker
Bama is a six and half point favorite. This is the 330 game on ABC. Oklahoma got them last year, but it was at their place. And I think Bama's, think they're pretty good.
01:31:05
Speaker
I'll take Bama. Yeah, dude, Ty Simpson should be the guy that they're talking about for Heisman, but they're not ever going to do that and with the Mendoza guy doing what he's doing.
01:31:16
Speaker
Yeah. ah Yeah, i'll go I'll go Alabama on that one. Okay. um Let's see. You got Florida heads to number six, Ole Miss. Big line, Ole Miss here by 15 and a half.
01:31:27
Speaker
This is another night game, 7 o'clock on ESPN. There's another one where Florida you know snuck up on Ole Miss last year. But it was at Florida. don't know that I see ah that happening again. Yeah. Give me the juice on that one.
01:31:42
Speaker
The juice is loose. That's right. um And then the last one, Mississippi State at Missouri, number 22 Missouri, Missouri favored by seven and a half. Did you pick, did you pick the last one? Yeah. I got Ole Miss. I'm with you. and got on Okay.
01:31:56
Speaker
Yeah. And then Mississippi State at Missouri. Yeah. Give Missouri on that one. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. I'm with you. All right. We generally agree. ah Went with the one.
01:32:08
Speaker
Are there any other games out there, like outside the SEC? Yes. So Pitt, Notre Dame. That's the other big one. Pitt, Notre Dame. Okay. that's That's where game day is at.
01:32:21
Speaker
Oh, okay. Yeah. We've yet to have game day, right? we had game day. Yeah, we had game day. yeah we had game I think this was the one that we were like, if Texas gets into the top 10, this would have for sure been a game day, but no, it's not.
01:32:37
Speaker
Right, right, right. i For what it's worth, I think our matchup is more compelling than Notre Dame versus Pitt. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. Yeah, that's like a Notre Dame thing, I guess.
01:32:50
Speaker
Yeah. Right. But I agree. I agree. I think, I think top 10 Georgia, Texas is, but yeah, I mean, they've already, they've already been, they've already been Athens and they also did, they've already had Texas. So out it's probably one of those kind spreading around of things.
01:33:06
Speaker
Right. You've also got Oklahoma and Alabama, probably ah the best matchup of the, from as far as like the rankings go outside of Texas and Georgia.
01:33:17
Speaker
Right. Right. For sure. Cool, man. Okay, well, sorry I threw you off earlier. um But as I said, yeah, we'll be we'll be heading down Friday, hitting up the Tech game, and looking forward to spending the Saturday night between the hedges with everybody and light of Sanford.
