00:02:18
Mason
Almost happened, yep.

But they're not very good. They've had a lot of losses. Stoops, as far as I'm concerned, is already fired. i don't know when it's officially going to happen, but he's he's cooked. um And so there's all of a sudden is a very fun matchup up in Lexington where um Tennessee tech will come up probably undefeated and they're going to be playing Kentucky.

00:05:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Fun trip to London this morning?

00:05:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, sorry. yeah We can wait.
00:05:23
tins
yeah we can wait. the ah The state of TV in America is down the drain. I see these commercials for all these TV shows that are going on and I wonder who's watching this crap.
00:05:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
True.
00:05:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:36
tins
Who in their right mind on a Tuesday night is turning on tracker or Matlock or Elizabeth or any of these garbage national nine one one sheriff country sheriff country looks like maybe the dumbest show of all of them, which is saying something.
00:05:45
Mason
Nashville 9-1-1.
00:05:48
Mason
The fire tornado. They're going to space, yeah.
00:05:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Going to space. They're going to space, I've heard.
00:05:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sheriff country.
00:05:59
tins
Yeah. It's the spinoff of fire country. Um,
00:06:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh.
00:06:04
tins
just Just absurd. We need to get back to the days of of good television. Lost. The Office.
00:06:11
Mason
Zoo.
00:06:12
tins
Zoo. Under the Dome. like this These are classics. And I'm tired of all these commercials.
00:06:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:19
tins
The commercials are terrible.
Weekend Sports Highlights
00:06:22
tins
And they just jam them down my face the whole time I'm watching football. And all my bets are losing in my face. And all my fancy guys suck. And then get the Matlock commercial for the 400th time.
00:06:33
tins
I don't care about Kathy Bates being Matlock.
00:06:35
Mason
Yeah.
00:06:36
tins
which i don't even How is this even a show? It's a spinoff show from a show from the 70s. And from what I understand, it's someone being a fake lawyer who pops up one day and and decides and just tells everyone, oh, my last name's this.
00:06:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:06:50
tins
And I'm a lawyer. I'm sorry. There should be some credentials to practice law in a courtroom. I don't think that's very realistic.
00:07:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's a fact tense. I like that. Tear apart the whole foundation.
00:07:02
tins
i can I can't just walk into a courtroom and say, I'm a lawyer. um Give me $1,000. This is not how this works.
00:07:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You could. You'd probably be rested.
00:07:13
tins
Exactly, but not Kathy Bates.
00:07:15
Mason
You know what makes all of this even worse? We're getting into the holiday season. You're going be seeing the Hallmark commercials, even like on the like I've seen them on when I'm watching football and they'll be advertising this holiday Christmas movie that's been remade 500 times.
00:07:34
Mason
They're just wearing a different flannel with different actors and actresses. um So that's going to
00:07:38
tins
But I expect those to be bad. You know? I expect a Hallmark movie to be bad.
00:07:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:44
tins
I'm tired of CBS.
00:07:44
Mason
You're just going to see the advertisement now.
00:07:46
tins
Yeah, I'm just tired of CBS pumping out terrible shows.
00:07:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:07:51
tins
We need to get back to our roots.
00:07:51
Mason
He said under the dome with a straight face.
00:07:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Back in my day, TV meant something.
00:07:54
tins
Good show.
00:07:57
tins
and Under the Dome is pretty solid. I rewatched it recently. What are you talking about?
00:08:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, Mason.
00:08:03
Mason
We've been trying to watch Survivor and I've not been able to get into this season. I'm just pushing through because season 50 is
00:08:08
tins
Yeah, because they have 4,000 twists and 4,000 immunity items on every episode. So I'm out on Survivor 2.
00:08:17
Mason
i saw I saw a video. it was a guy that did a remake and it was like the old ones.
00:08:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:08:21
Mason
And it was like, he was just like, if I can build trust with this person, maybe they can't vote me out. And then it was like the new ones. And it's like, and if I use my five tokens, I can switch it in for a and it's like, and it's just all this absurd, like, or I could use my reflect idol where I reflect this person's eye.
00:08:35
tins
Exactly.
00:08:40
Mason
Like, it was just all this like made up stuff. And it was like, you know what?
00:08:43
tins
Yeah.
00:08:43
Mason
That's kind of what they do now because they have to create all these twists.
00:08:45
tins
It is. It's too much. Too much.
00:08:48
Mason
But season 50, they're bringing back like a ah ton of people throughout the whole thing. So that's why I'm pushing through.
00:08:54
tins
Meh.
00:08:56
Mason
he's like, yeah.
00:08:56
tins
Meh.
00:08:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The thing that I'm always, the the TV, my my TV take is the like singing shows have just become out of hand.
00:08:58
Mason
Masked Singer.
00:09:07
tins
Too many of them.
00:09:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Some like, there's like, i feel like there's like seven or eight different ones.
00:09:09
tins
Yep.
00:09:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, there's the whole like ah with the mask, like the mask singer. And then there's, I know that Dancing with the Stars is pretty popular.
00:09:15
Mason
Masked Singer.
00:09:15
tins
yep
00:09:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I cannot. There's just too many variations of the like, that type of reality show where it's like there's,
00:09:24
Mason
well
00:09:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
10 minutes of actual stuff happening and then 50 minutes of just like talking.
00:09:30
Mason
Backstories and America's Got Talent.
00:09:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And I, I don't understand who's watching. Like genuinely my question is someone has to be watching those for them to stay on the air, like the end to to keep making it.
00:09:42
tins
Yeah.
00:09:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But I'm what's the demographic that's watching all of those shows.
00:09:47
tins
Who's watching Dancing with the Stars? Because my my wife watches it. And they like they like do the breakdown like after they do the dances.
00:09:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Your wife is.
00:09:54
tins
And it's like these three judges giving them like critiques on the dance. i'm like, no normal person knows what they're talking about, about like how this dance is supposed to be done. Because none of one's a professional
NFL Game Analysis
00:10:06
tins
dancer.
00:10:08
tins
She watches it. Macy does ballet. Blah, blah, blah. Who cares? That's why they like to watch it.
00:10:12
Mason
sorry.
00:10:12
tins
but
00:10:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who cares?
00:10:18
tins
Who cares about dance?
00:10:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I mean, I know that one is pretty popular. It's still like the off brand. feel like there's like 12 different the voices now. I can't keep track of this season and American Idol is like way off the deep end there.
00:10:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's just like a tragedy now. I don't.
00:10:35
tins
Have you seen this? I would say, have you seen this new one that Keith Urban's doing with Blake Shelton?
00:10:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
00:10:42
tins
it's called On the Road. And it's these 12 singers trying to see if they can make it on tour life of being a country singer on the road.
00:10:52
tins
What are we talking about?
00:10:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Huh.
00:10:54
tins
What is happening? Who's going to see these people no one's heard of before on a concert?
00:10:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a question.
00:11:01
tins
I'm done with fake reality TV.
00:11:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
what if i think we should but if we merged a couple of like What if we merged the food truck race with like a singing thing as well?
00:11:04
tins
It's all staged.
00:11:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like And dancing. And it became like all in one. So it was like you had to have a food truck, but every food truck had to have a singer and a dancer and like another talent.
00:11:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then you had
00:11:22
Mason
And you were on the island of Fiji doing Survivor.
00:11:25
tins
Trademark this real quick, because they're going to steal this and
00:11:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like What if we just put all of them together and then it's like a show on wheels?
00:11:31
tins
make one mega show.
00:11:33
Mason
What if we put food trucks in Hawaii where you also had to live off the land and you had to sell food while...
00:11:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But then it's like you had to make, you made the singers like cook the food and then you made the, the cooks have to like perform talent and you switch all the roles. could be fun.
00:11:51
Mason
While living on Fiji.
00:11:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
There's something there.
00:11:53
Mason
Doing competitions. In between.
00:11:55
tins
that At CBS showrunners who are definitely out of ideas.
00:12:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's, that's new at least.
00:12:04
Mason
We forgot Amazing Race. That's also one.
00:12:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

Mason
They probably have. You've just not been watching it.
00:12:14
tins
Probably. Probably.
00:12:16
tins
It's probably true.
00:12:16
Mason
They pump all those out.
00:12:17
Mason
I've not chat i've never seen Challengers... We've been watching Special Forces. I'm trying to think of what else. Big Brother's been going on forever.
00:12:26
tins
Someone tell me what, I don't, I've never understood Big Brother. It's just Survivor, but in a house.
00:12:32
Mason

Mason
Well, we started out with not sports this time, so congrats to us. ah
00:12:45

um There was some sports happen, though.
00:12:55

Uh, we have some categories to bring your way because, uh, whether we like it or not, uh, the weekend needs to be, we need the news. i was telling the guys before we started recording, I was like,
00:13:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Without your NFL analysis, man, it the it was tough for me to watch some football today because I just i didn't know who to watch. you know I didn't have my NFL experts breaking the game down. We all had kind of a crazy week last week, and it just didn't happen.
00:13:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tins has been driving, and he's been getting back late, and so our schedule has been wild.
00:13:41
tins
Yeah. Back on the UPS grind.
00:13:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah So we apologize for not having our preview available. Yeah.
00:13:48
Mason
If I did another solo pod, it would have broke the internet. So we didn't want that.
00:13:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I think we would have zero listeners left at that point. So, no, it was me. I i was the one that said Mason did a great job.
00:13:58
Mason
yeah
00:14:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was one who said, I don't think the world's ready for two solo pods in a row. And so I did not feel like doing that. So here we are with our ah review. We're back. The boys are back.
00:14:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And we have some categories to get to.
00:14:14

tins
Born ready.
00:14:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. Okay.
00:14:19
Mason
As ready as I'll ever be, I guess.
00:14:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow, Mason, that's really good. I think i can tell you're really excited to talk about football.
00:14:26
Mason
well We got this.
00:14:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:14:27
Mason
We can do it.
00:14:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, Mason, we're starting with you. Game of the week.
00:14:33
Mason
Game of the week. I actually told the guys I felt like the second, and the afternoon slate was more entertaining than the ah for Tinsley, the morning slate, of course, and then the noon slate.
00:14:46
Mason
um I thought there was there's more comebacks, which we kind of talked about some closer games. I'm going to pick just because I know we have other games that we'll end up covering. So I'm going to go with the Packers and the Cardinals ah for my solo pod.
00:15:00
tins
room
00:15:01
Mason
I talked about Jacoby Brissett and how it could actually be interesting if he is performing to a level where could Kyler Murray lose his job.
00:15:13
Mason
They still lost the game 27 to 23. However, ah he ended up putting up almost 300 yards passing, 279. He looked very good. There was top moments. I mean, he took quite a bit of beating. like He took, I think, its six sacks. woo ah And he ended up throwing two touchdowns.
00:15:33
Mason
ah Ended up being close in the end. That fourth quarter, i it was coming down to it, but they ended up... Yeah, field goals all over the place. Trey McBride had, i think it was two touchdowns.
00:15:45
tins
two touchdowns. Yeah.
00:15:46
Mason
Yeah, and then ah you were ah you were going into... The Cardinals actually took a lead 23-20 in the fourth quarter, and then they just got down to the end zone, and Josh Jacobs punched it in for one-yard to take the lead, and they never got it back with 150 left. They couldn't make it work with 150 left. so I'm going to go with the Cardinals and the Packers there.
00:16:10
tins
Well, I kind of ah thought we were about to double up there and get another point for the categories because I went with Broncos-Giants. um
00:16:20
Mason
Yep. Yep.
00:16:21
tins
This game was insane. The Giants at one point were up 19 to nothing. And then the Broncos did this thing they've been doing a lot this year where they just they just go crazy in the fourth quarter. Bo Nix goes nuts.
00:16:35
tins
um And so they scored, I believe it was like 20... three straight points in the fourth quarter um to take the lead. And then with less than a minute left, Jackson dart leads them down the field, scores the touchdown, but they missed the extra point to go up by two.
00:16:52
tins
So it's 32 to 30. The new kickoff rule is, is showing itself to be more interesting each week because teams are now on average starting at 35, but it's, but you're getting better chances at, at returns.
00:17:05
Mason
Mm-hmm.
00:17:09
tins
And the Broncos busted a pretty good return, ah did two quick pass plays, and then set themselves up for a game-winning field goal. um So it's making the end of games like this where, like, if you're not up by more than three, um you know, that that that chance of losing by a walk-off field goal is still – it's there every week. So that was a crazy ending to that game.
00:17:31
tins
the The Giants – I feel bad for the Giants because they've just – their kicker got hurt. a few weeks ago in warmups and they've just not been able to find anybody to replace them. Um, the, the kicker who kicked today missed two extra points.
00:17:45
tins
That's the difference in the game. They lost by so, uh, but Jackson dart is electric.
00:17:46
Mason
Hmm.
00:17:52
tins
Um, really, really, I really like watching him.
00:17:52
Mason
Fun to watch.
00:17:55
tins
Um, I'm not, big I've, I was never like a big cam scatterboot guy. I don't know that he's going to last in the NFL for a super long time, just the way he plays, but he,
00:18:03
Mason
His play style, yeah.
00:18:05
tins
hey he is, a he's entertaining the watch and the giants, you know, they've, they've turned it around. So, um and that's, I like Brian Dayball as a coach and I think they're going to do just enough to be able to keep, keep him there.
00:18:20
tins
So yeah, that was my game of the week. That was a very fun back and forth.
00:18:22
Mason
so
00:18:23
tins
And then the end of the game was just nuts.
00:18:26
Mason
and real quick zach uh before you start since we're talking about this game my so my surprise of the week was the fourth quarter of this game ah so it was 19 to 0 the giants were up uh i want to just throw out this play sequence here of what ended up happening after that fourth quarter
00:18:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:18:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wild.
00:18:36
tins
Mm-hmm.
00:18:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:18:47
Mason
touchdown by the Broncos. They went for two-point conversion, got it. So it was nineteen to eight And then touchdown by the Giants, Theo Johnson, 41-yard pass. That was an insane pass catch, by the 26-8.
00:19:00
Mason
So you're still thinking it's over. And then here's where that that Tinsley stretch, he was talking about. Broncos touchdown, Broncos touchdown, Broncos touchdown. Now we're looking, and then Jackson Dart had a rush, it was 32-30, and then what he just talked about, brons Broncos came down the field after that ah kickoff return to kick a field goal to win the game.
00:19:21
Mason
So, ah insane, literally talking about snooze fest 19-0 to 33-32 game
00:19:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's crazy.
00:19:30
Mason
going into the going into the ah fourth quarter to end the game so that was my surprise of the week since we were talking about i just wanted to skip ahead but Zach go ahead and what was your game of the week
00:19:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:19:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
My game of the week was coming from SEC.
00:19:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ole Miss at Georgia ended up in a fun game. This actually was a back and forth matchup. Ole Miss looks very good for a lot of this game. ah Georgia kind of did the same thing they did to Tennessee, honestly, where they just waited for one, it just took one or two little mistakes and they just kind of jump on it after a pretty slow start.
00:20:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Georgia's defense looking pretty bad, but their offense looking pretty good. um Gunnar Stockton had four touchdowns, almost 300 yards passing. ah Trinidad Chambliss didn't have a bad day. mean, he had 260 yards passing. He had a touchdown.
00:20:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No interceptions. He had a fumble. um It was a pretty fun game. Ole Miss seems like a legitimate team umm and a legitimate threat to to play in SEC, unfortunately, until Lane Kiffin goes to Florida and takes over there, which is what what people are saying.
00:20:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um he is His name has been hot in the rumor mill to take Billy Napier's job at Florida, which I guess we, yeah I don't have a spot to talk about that, but, uh, how many coaches been fired after a win?
00:20:53
tins
Yeah.
00:20:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The list cannot be long.
00:20:58
tins
Yeah, that was really weird.
00:21:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:01
tins
It was really weird. Even the post-game press conference, the reporter asked him, like, are you, like, thinking about how this might be your last game as Florida's head coach?
00:21:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um,
00:21:10
tins
I was like, why why now? Like, why what why right now?
00:21:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's something with the donors. And from what I've gathered, there was a meeting with a bunch of the boosters last week, and it was kind of just a agreed upon this is going to happen, win or lose.
00:21:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm not sure if it has to do with something with the transfer portal window. i know once your head coach is fired midseason, there's like a 30-day window. um i don't know what's going to happen to that Florida team, if it's just going get blown up. i mean, there's obviously a lot of talent there.
00:21:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're a very talented team. DJ Lagway is going to be a hot ticket in the portal. um I don't know if this was...
00:21:49
tins
yeah
00:21:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's very hard. i don't know. um There's a lot of big names. I mean, that that Florida job is ah big job. think there's a chance that there's a couple of big openings that obviously Penn State's open now as well.
00:22:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So that's two high, high caliber coaching positions open midseason. think Florida State could jump in that conversation as well, potentially, if they keep losing.
00:22:12
tins
ah this LSU, I've heard Brian Kelly is...
00:22:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Brian Kelly is on a short leash right now. He loses little more and that conversation is going to get interesting. Um, Brian Kelly is,
00:22:21
tins
He's a hot name for Penn State.
00:22:26
tins
Yeah.
00:22:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
well
00:22:28
tins
Oh, I'd love, I would love that.
00:22:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
uh, yeah, that's not a good hire, but, um, obviously Kurt Signetti took a, he got a huge, uh, ah took a huge contract extension because it it was pretty obvious.
00:22:40
tins
Extension.
00:22:40
Mason
contract.
00:22:41
tins
Yeah.
00:22:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Indiana was concerned he was going to go to Penn state. So they locked him down and an irresponsibly large contract that they are sure to regret at some point, but they have them for now.
00:22:46
tins
Yeah.
00:22:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So is it's going to be a wild
NFL Team Dynamics & Trades
00:22:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
coaching search. um ah This is not really part of my analysis.
00:23:00
tins
Yeah.
00:23:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I just felt like I needed to talk about it. Um, I guess I started with Lane Kiffin is going to go to Florida probably.
00:23:10
tins
Yeah.
00:23:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um so But Lane Kiffin nearly gets the win in Georgia. Georgia guts it out though, and all of a sudden the top of the SEC is looking very interesting.
00:23:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Texas A&M, the only SEC team that is still undefeated.
00:23:27
tins
yeah
00:23:27
Mason
um I asked AI coaches that's been fired after a win. You can and just don't take their betting advice, but this should be fine.
00:23:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:23:36
Mason
Hopefully, ah Billy Napier, obviously you just talked about. And then Jimbo Fisher was fired from Texas A&M November 12, 2023 after a win.
00:23:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow. That's weird.
00:23:47
Mason
But that's all that's on there.
00:23:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that decision had been made.
00:23:52
Mason
Hmm.
00:23:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i know there was, i don't know, there was some talk about, it's obviously for a reason, and I just, I don't quite know what it is. um The timing felt intentional, though.
00:24:06
tins
Yeah.
00:24:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So I don't know. They had a good win. Team fought for them. Their season feels over now, though. I just i can't imagine that team staying together.
00:24:17
tins
Yeah, I'd imagine Transfer Portal... it will become a big thing for them. a lot of those guys are just going to bounce.
00:24:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. Interesting.
00:24:28
tins
We'll see what happens.
00:24:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. um Fun game, though. Felt like it had some big implications.
00:24:34
tins
This was a game.
00:24:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:24:37
tins
Yeah, I had to listen to this one. we i took Macy to a card show in Nashville. It was huge card show. um So I missed the morning slate of ball. And then I got home at like 4.35 o'clock.
00:24:52
tins
So I had to listen to this one on the whole ride back.
00:24:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah
00:24:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, was it was fun. The first half was like just, it was points every possession almost. It was just back and forth and it was crazy.
00:25:05
tins
lot of bad beats on overs this weekend. south carolina are USC, Notre Dame, and Bama UT both.
00:25:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, at the very end of that one.
00:25:13
Mason
Tennessee. yeah
00:25:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I did not bet that.
00:25:15
Mason
Dave Portnoy was freaking out about that one.
00:25:18
tins
Yeah, had the over in both those games.
00:25:20
Mason
oh
00:25:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tough.
00:25:22
tins
Tough.
00:25:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Okay. Mason, performance of the week.
00:25:30
Mason
I am going to go with The Browns defense had a touchdown, three interceptions, fumble recovery, and only allowed six points to the dreadful Dolphins.
00:25:45
tins
It's over.
00:25:46
Mason
I just... I feel like now they're finally clicking. ah i don't give hopes of them winning the division or anything, but that i mean that defense... I saw highlights, and yes, it's the Dolphins looking bad, and we do have that ticket on the fewest wins...
00:26:03
Mason
um How does McDaniels get past this week? Does anybody know? do Do we want to make predictions on a firing?
00:26:10
tins
i don't
00:26:14
Mason
Does he make it?
00:26:15
tins
my only My only reservation about him, i don't know that there's a single person on his staff that is even experienced like has the experience to take over. like With the Titans firing ah Callahan, McCoy was a former head coach. um like McDaniel's defensive coordinator is pretty... I don't think he's had any kind of...
00:26:39
tins
head coaching experience like that. I don't know who the office, like it would just be bad. I think, I think, and their owner's so cheap. I don't think he likes the idea of paying somebody to not work.
00:26:51
Mason
Just have them push through.
00:26:54
tins
Yeah. But I mean, I was, but I mean, you can't, you cannot be dressed like McDaniels and talk the way he does and act the way he does and keep getting absolutely destroyed.
00:27:05
tins
Like, I, I don't know, man.
00:27:07
Mason
Guess who... yeah Guess who played at the end of that game?
00:27:08
tins
Yeah.
00:27:12
tins
Quentin Ewers got because Tua is terrible too.
00:27:13
Mason
Yeah.
00:27:17
Mason
So, I don't think there's anything... um that's going to happen with it.
00:27:21
tins
i want to know where I don't like who's Tua going to play with next year?
00:27:21
Mason
Like, I don't know if he'll start, but go ahead.
00:27:28
tins
it's It's over.
00:27:29
Mason
Is he going to starter?
00:27:29
tins
It's like the whole thing is over. Like their whole thing.
00:27:32
Mason
Yeah.
00:27:33
tins
Him and Kyler Murray are are my two quarterbacks that are going to be on the move this summer.
00:27:39
Mason
Hmm.
00:27:39
tins
I don't think they're going to stay where they're at.
00:27:43
Mason
Possibly. But for that game, ah basically Judkins and the defense just carried the team.
00:27:50
tins
Yeah.
00:27:50
Mason
um If they actually did have a... Which, I mean, Dylan Gabriel, that he was 13 for 18, 116 yards. He did...
00:28:00
tins
The weather was terrible.
00:28:01
Mason
it Yeah, weather was bad. But still, even if... ah I don't know how much he would actually be doing out there. But anyways, they got a running back and defense.
00:28:09
tins
ah Yeah, I don't think Gabriel's a long-term answer.
00:28:12
Mason
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:15
tins
their Their defense is amazing. Judkins is probably going to be like the next one of these next stud running backs. Samson's right behind him, too. like that's ah That's an awesome one-two punch.
00:28:24
Mason
a
00:28:27
tins
They got two really good tight ends. They're a quarterback and some receivers away from being like a legitimate team, but this is the Browns. like what are they Are they actually going to figure it out?
00:28:35
Mason
Yeah.
00:28:37
tins
Probably not.
00:28:38
Mason
Probably not. Still fun team though.
00:28:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Probably not.
00:28:41
Mason
All right. That was my performance of the week.
00:28:47
tins
All right. ah My performance of the week was one Matthew Stafford breaking a NFL overseas game record with five touchdown passes today.
00:29:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
very brave of you, James.
00:29:01
tins
Yeah. So I call it like I see it.
00:29:02
Mason
Listen, he he calls it how he sees it I mean
00:29:06
tins
He, hit his best receiver Pukeniku is out today. It didn't matter. We're throwing to guys that had one catch in their career coming into the game. two of those guys type of players caught touchdowns today.
00:29:21
tins
Absolutely dominated the Jags, uh, who just, you know, they went over on Monday night and were supposedly to get ready for the time change. And the Rams flew in Saturday night, really late.
00:29:34
tins
It was, was worried about them being jet lagged. And, uh, Yeah, it didn't matter at all. The Rams, the Rams, Cohen comes from McVay, and the Rams today are what the Jags hope to be.
00:29:48
tins
But we have to stop with every daggum series being a penalty or, you know, a big play happens, but it gets called back because someone's false started or illegal formation or we're just holding or we're just stupid and we drop the ball or...
00:30:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I
00:30:06
tins
Trevor does a spin to nowhere and get sacked. Like we just got to stop all these just idiotic things and just play normal human being football. And I think we could be a good football team, but shout out to Matthew Stafford.
00:30:17
tins
You absolutely diced us up today.
00:30:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um like that.
00:30:20
tins
Devante Adams, the last two times he's played the Jags has just been a nightmare. I think he's scored like four touchdowns or no, he scored three today. I know he scored two last year with the jets. um So yeah, it was, he's, he's a problem of mine.
00:30:37
tins
But yeah, so shout out Matthew Stafford.
00:30:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I like that.
00:30:40
tins
Proud of you, man.
00:30:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Before my performance of the week, I do have a question for the NFL ball knowers on the pod. um
00:30:49
tins
Mm-hmm.
00:30:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
This is not about the Jags. It's about the Titans.
00:30:52
tins
Good.
00:30:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Has there ever been a trio of teams as bad as Titans, Dolphins, and Jets are this season? like Is this historically bad like bottom of the league right now?
00:31:08
Mason
I'm trying to think. I bet you if you gave me some time, I could come up with a ah group. But right now...
00:31:15
tins
the year the year the Jags picked first overall to get Trevor them and the Jets were because the Jags won one game and I think the Jets won two but yeah no this is that's a pretty I
00:31:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like, are the Jets going to win a game? Titans are not winning another the game out. I think Titans are done.
00:31:34
tins
and don't think the Dolphins win another game
00:31:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the like... What do we do if you've got multiple, like...
00:31:39
tins
If all three of them combined have two wins, yeah, that might be a pretty tough trio.
00:31:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I guess today, anyone play each other. Boy, that's gonna be some bad football.
00:31:47
Mason
I'm looking right now.
00:31:48
tins
I don't think so. Well, the Jets and Dolphins do.
00:31:53
tins
They play each other once.
00:31:53
Mason
But guess who's going to win a game?
00:31:55
Mason
The Saints. They're frisky enough to win a game. We don't have to put them in that conversation.
00:31:58
tins
I mean, yeah, the saints the Saints were supposed to be like worst team in the league, but they're like Rattler Rattler's played so well that you don't even like they have a second round draft pick as the backup quarterback. He was supposed to be like the projected starter and Rattler's just taking that job and he's not letting it go.
00:32:17
tins
And he's playing well. I don't know if he's like a long term option at quarterback. I don't think so, but he's serviceable.
00:32:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm. We can have this discussion later. Maybe we can do some research. we But it just it just feels like there's a couple teams that are, boy, just like horrible.
00:32:38
tins
Yeah.
00:32:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like the Titans are unwatchable.
00:32:41
Mason
So the Jets the jets play ah the Ravens, obviously the Dolphins because they're in the division, and the Saints are like the bad ones on their schedule.
00:32:41
tins
They're pretty bad.
00:32:44
tins
The Jets are terrible.
00:32:55
tins
Well, the Ravens are about to turn it up with Lamar back.
00:32:57
Mason
Yeah.
00:32:58
tins
They're about to just come nuke people.
00:32:59
Mason
I guess I shouldn't said bad, but they were the only ones. that Those were the three teams that had one win on their only one win on their schedule.
00:33:01
tins
Bad records, yeah.
00:33:08
tins
I think too, with the Jets, they're going to switch to Tyrod Taylor now going forward. He gives them more of a chance to win.
00:33:13
Mason
backup bump yeah
00:33:14
tins
he's just he's well He's just solid. He can throw a forward pass. Pretty important. Justin Fields struggles with that.
00:33:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
so this came word he did throw backwards for an interception
00:33:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, yeah. Okay. I just wanted to mention that, um, they have no place in our categories this week, so I don't think they're a fraud. I think everyone knew they were bad. It's just, so, in okay.
00:33:38
tins
you
00:33:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
My performance of the week. Uh, I'm also, this is not a fun category for me. I'm going with, uh, Diego Pavia from
Future of NFL Teams & Strategies
00:33:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Vanderbilt. Uh,
00:33:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
defied the odds and, led Vanderbilt Commodores to a, a big win against the LSU Tigers. Uh, this was a, I mean, this is one of those games where as you're watching, um, you're just kind of watching Diego Pavia just do whatever it takes to kind of, uh, will his team to a win.
00:34:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And if it if it wasn't Vanderbilt, it would be fun to watch, I think. I'm sure some of the country enjoys watching it. I don't. But you have to get credit where credit's due. They had to play a good game and beat Um, an LSU team that a lot of people thought had playoff, maybe still do have playoff. i don't know.
00:34:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, LSU team that has been on and off this season, but, uh, probably you look good. uh, 14 for 22 for 160 yards and a touchdown, but he also had 86 yards on the ground into more touchdowns. So he accounted for three touchdowns total.
00:34:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, honestly, uh, Pavia and Haynes King kind of putting us in similar stat lines, leading their teams to some very good records at this point. ah Both of those guys kind of play similar brand of football, which is just literally just do whatever it takes to win. Doesn't matter.
00:35:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Run the ball, pass the ball, whatever. So ah good performance. And I did not think they could do it, but here they are. We have a six and one, ah probably top 12 type Vanderbilt team out there, which is not great.
00:35:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't like that. Here we are.
00:35:28
tins
Yeah, we need that Vandy coach to go take one of these.
00:35:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and
00:35:33
tins
Well, I guess one of the Big Ten jobs. We don't want them at Florida.
00:35:35
Mason
Like during the season. So we don't have to play them.
00:35:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. The last, ah the last Vanderbilt coach with a little bit of success went to play for a little school called Penn state and he just got fired.
00:35:43
tins
ah It's true.
00:35:47
tins
Try it again. let's Let's run it back one more time, Penn State.
00:35:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What could go wrong? Okay. ah Mason. Surprise of the week.
00:35:59
Mason
Oh, I did the fourth quarter of the Broncos Giants game since we were already talking about it.
00:36:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah. That was a surprise.
00:36:03
tins
Oh, yeah.
00:36:04
Mason
Yeah.
00:36:04

Tens.
00:36:05
tins
All right. ah Mine is a stat. It's kind of a kind of an amazing stat.
00:36:08
Mason
Oh.
00:36:11
tins
I didn't... I mean, I knew things were bad, but I didn't think that they were this bad.
00:36:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:36:15
tins
um
00:36:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:36:16
tins
Since 2023, when the Titans fired Mike Rabel, they've won four games. Mike Rabel is the head coach of the Patriots. He's now won five games.
00:36:30
tins
That's pretty surprising.
00:36:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not great.
00:36:33
tins
In a season and a half. Or no, um more than that. He's already passed them in wins. Since he got fired.
00:36:41
Mason
So we're we were smack talking a little bit this morning and Tinsley was like, i hope Vrabel puts up 50 points.
00:36:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:47
Mason
He did not. But also our team lost by less points than his team did. His team got blown out more than we did in London.
00:36:54
tins
Proud of you.
00:36:56
Mason
So that's something there.
00:36:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's not something there.
00:36:59
tins
One of our team's...
00:36:59
Mason
I mean, they're both losses.
00:37:01
tins
One of our teams has one win on the season and has fired their head coach.
00:37:02
Mason
and
00:37:07
tins
After running the best head coach of their whole history out for no good reason, Mike Vrabel is not the best coach of your wholes season of your whole franchise.
00:37:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's not true.
00:37:12
Mason
We can't feel pain.
00:37:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
00:37:16
tins
you would You would take Jeff Fisher over Mike Vrabel?
00:37:16
Mason
Jeff Fisher.
00:37:19
Mason
Took us to a Super Bowl.
00:37:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes.
00:37:21
Mason
Braves didn't do that.
00:37:23
tins
Jeff Fisher did not take you.
00:37:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Jeff Fisher erasure is crazy. That's crazy.
00:37:27
tins
Jeff Fisher is the king of eight and eight.
00:37:29
Mason
Got us to playoffs.
00:37:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a great 8-8 playoffs.
00:37:32
Mason
would take that right now.
00:37:37
tins
He was an Eddie George and Steve McNair merchant.
00:37:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's fine.
00:37:40
Mason
Oh my gosh.
00:37:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Belichick was a Tom Brady merchant, but look where got him.
00:37:45
tins
That's true.
00:37:46
Mason
To North Carolina with a 24-year-old girlfriend.
00:37:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's true. Yeah, not great.
00:37:54
tins
But yeah, so that was my surprise of the week that variable is caught up and passed the Titans and wins since they fired him.
00:37:54
Mason
um
00:38:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, I mean, I checked out.
00:38:02
Mason
See, you think you can get an Earthskin. The triple tank is still intact.
00:38:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's a fact.
00:38:08
tins
A triple tank means you're already given up on Cam. that you would
00:38:12
Mason
I never said that. We can still build the around them.
00:38:13
tins
That's what a triple tank
Identifying Football Frauds & Disappointments
00:38:15
tins
involves, is ah is a new quarterback.
00:38:19
Mason
Show me the the rule book on that one.
00:38:22
tins
Tank for Tua. That's the whole point of tanking. The whole idea of tanking started with him.
00:38:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah well People do forget. I know this this whole thing with Vrabel has kind of, obviously, it was a bad fire. But, I mean, his last season, they went six and eleven And they were 7-10 in 2022.
00:38:40
tins
It's true.
00:38:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So, I mean, he was 13-20 in his last two seasons. It's not like he was, I mean, obviously, it was looking back now with what we would Callahan and that whole thing, it it was very bad.
00:38:56
Mason
Ugh.
00:38:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but And there were other problems in that organization. Mike Rabel was not the biggest piece of the problem. Revisionist history says Rabel was just destroying people and he just got fired for no reason. Not act like he went 6-11. is not a good season.
00:39:15
tins
No, you're right. But I don't know. I wouldn't have fired him. i would have stayed with Braves.
00:39:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, definitely not with Callahan being the other option. um Okay. Surprise of the week. um This was kind of how this game ended, but it ended up being a pretty big upset.
00:39:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah This is, ah we didn't we didn't get to do any best of the rest talk this week, so here's your best of the rest talk. Memphis goes down to UAB in one of the just most chaotic endings to a game that you're going to see.
00:39:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Memphis down a touchdown, ah breaks off a huge play.
00:39:49
tins
Truly.
00:39:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Looks like they're about to tie the game with about a minute left. They gets called back to the one yard line. Uh, they run a play. Don't get a touchdown. and They get a false start. It goes back to the six.
00:40:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
All of a sudden they end up with like a fourth and 10, um, after just some but atrocious play from that team. Um, and they ended taking the loss.
00:40:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So this was a team that was had the best chance.
00:40:16
Mason
Oh, God.
00:40:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, I think the best chance to make the playoff all of a sudden taking a loss there. And so we got some interesting stuff happening. Um, The FCS, I think USF now probably is number one, but they have a matchup with Memphis coming up. So South Florida Memphis matchup is looking crazy coming up soon.
00:40:53
Mason
This is how we roll on the podcast here. We're experiencing some technical difficulties.
00:40:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank
00:40:58
Mason
Thank you, Zach, for your computer exploding on the podcast. ah So we're just going to move along here, right, Tenson?
00:41:04
tins
It only does it when he's the host. um Yeah, so I thought it was me because I also froze. But yeah, no, he was talking about that Memphis game. Truly a crazy ending.
00:41:16
tins
Memphis kind of burning up their season, losing to a fellow American Conference team. They're ranked. They're undefeated. And then absolutely...
00:41:28
tins
um Just absolutely chaos losing to that losing that game so to a team in UAB who had fired their coach earlier that week.
00:41:38
tins
um just Just crazy. i don't I don't understand college football, man. It is just pure chaos every weekend. Once you start thinking you know something is like a certain thing, that thing is not going to happen.
00:41:48
Mason
That's why it's so fun to watch.
00:41:56
tins
um All right. Let's see. so that was... That was our surprises ah yeah surprise of the week.
00:42:03
Mason
Yes, prize of the week.
00:42:04
tins
Let's go fraud of the week. Some fraudulent behavior. Who are they other than my favorite team? Because they're frauds right now.
ACC Football Surprises & Predictions
00:42:14
Mason
Is that your is that your vote? Or you got another one?
00:42:16
tins
No. i have another I have someone else to yell about.
00:42:17
Mason
Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. I'll start us off then. Um, how the turns have tabled once an MVP selection by yours truly before the game or before the season started now is a fraud.
00:42:24
tins
Oh, no.
00:42:34
Mason
That is one. Geno Smith didn't put up a single point against the chiefs, got benched for Kenny Pickett, uh, truly an awful performance.
00:42:41
tins
That's terrible.
00:42:47
tins
She can't pick it.
00:42:48
Mason
Uh,
00:42:49
tins
Fumble the snap on his very first play.
00:42:50
Mason
Yes.
00:42:51
tins
That was funny.
00:42:51
Mason
Yeah, the whole ah and then i just they're literally just wasting away Gente's talent. um It just seems like but that is my fraud of the week.
00:43:05
tins
Yeah, no, that's a good one. The Raiders, I feel like Like, P. Carroll took this job, but might be one of those times where it was like, ooh, maybe the game did pass him by and the Seahawks let him go for a reason.
00:43:21
Mason
Yeah.
00:43:21
tins
um I don't – I feel like he might be a one and done. i don't know. I don't know if the Raiders would do that back-to-back years because Antonio Pierce was a one and done.
00:43:33
tins
So probably not. But – i don't know, man. They're such a weird – the Raiders are such a weird team because they they have playmakers. I know Brock Bowers has been hurt, but ah Michael Meyer is a very good player.
00:43:47
tins
Jacoby Myers, is he was a healthy scratch today. i feel like that's because he's going to get traded.
00:43:50
Mason
Mm-hmm. Traded.
00:43:52
tins
um I really need him to be traded to my team. That would be great because I need a receiver who um isn't scared of catching the ball around people because he's going to get hit.
00:44:02
tins
That's part of football. All my receivers want to play flag football apparently. um So, yeah, I don't know. The Raiders are just a weird team. ah Yeah, Geno Smith really, he kind of fell back off the cliff.
00:44:16
tins
he He's turned back in the jet to Geno this season.
00:44:19
Mason
Mm. Yep. yeah
00:44:21
tins
ah The haters are riding him again, and he might have to ride back. like he might It might be done.
00:44:30
tins
All right, my fraud of the week. Are the San Diego, or not, oh, sorry, not San Diego. The Los Angeles Chargers. First of all, you guys are frauds for sharing a stadium. You should have never left San Diego, a city that loved you, packed out your stadium every game.
00:44:48
tins
And now, of the other team, every time, you have no home field advantage there.
00:44:48
Mason
There's like more away fans there. Yes. They show the fans and I was like, wow, there's more. Yeah. go ahead But tell tell us the the bets and what happened there.
00:45:00
tins
Yeah, so that's that's fraud step number one. You have no fans in your stands ever. um Fraud step number two is you let Danny Dimes and the Colts, who they're not good. I don't care.
00:45:13
tins
i don't care if they're 6-1. I don't care if they're scoring a lot of points. I don't care. don't care. I don't care. i don't care They're not good. They just... are just I don't know what they are, but they're not good. I'm not going to believe they're good either, but they, the Jonathan Taylor is good.
00:45:32
tins
And Tyler Warren is good. And Danny dimes just doesn't make mistakes. That's what they are. So that's, they're not elite. They shouldn't be six in one. the The Broncos should have beat them. That was a baloney leverage call on the game winning field goal. You can't call that in that situation.
00:45:50
tins
Um,
00:45:51
Mason
It's true.
00:45:52
tins
They probably should have lost some other games, but the Chargers, you cannot lose at home to a team like this. You just can't. They had three starters in the secondary missing today. Kenny Moore, Chardarius Ward, and another corner were out. So their top two corners and their slot corner were all out, and Justin Herbert threw for career-high 420-something yards.
00:46:14
tins
Still lost the game. They put a little comeback at the end, tried to make it interesting, but... and just I'm so over this Chargers team. They're frauds. They're not good.
00:46:26
tins
and that They started out 3-0 and they should be dominating the division and they're not. and Now we're have to deal with the Chiefs. The Chiefs are back. The Chiefs are all the way back.
00:46:35
Mason
All the way.
00:46:36
tins
It's annoying. The Chiefs are going win the Super Bowl.
00:46:41
Mason
All right. There's... ah there's and so Oh, no.
00:46:41
tins
I'm going to hate every second of it too. I cashed out my bet because I was sick and tired. i I was sick and tired of the Chiefs, and I just ah i don't want to live in a world where the Chiefs win the Super Bowl this year.
00:46:59
tins
I want to go to a different multiverse.
00:47:01
Mason
Different team. Oh, there it is. Marvel.
00:47:04
tins
one yeah One where Miles Jack was never down, and Patrick Mahomes got drafted to the Bears instead of the Chiefs because the Bears would have ruined him.
00:47:16
tins
That's what I want.
00:47:18
Mason
Okay, so Zach is back and he's got us for all the week.
00:47:22
tins
Perfect timing, actually.
00:47:22
Mason
Perfect timing. And it is one.
00:47:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hey, what's up, guys?
00:47:26
Mason
Drumroll, please.
00:47:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Yeah, my fraud of the week is Carson Beck. ah Miami quarterback. This Miami team has looked very good all season. They've been hyped up as kind of the cream of the crop. They had no ranked games left on their schedule.
00:47:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Everyone kind of saw them dancing into the playoffs um in an ACC that all of a sudden looked pretty doable, and they lose at Louisville. Carson Beck does not play very well.
00:47:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
In fact, and um he just collapsed in the biggest moments.
00:47:58
tins
Just like last year.
00:48:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He he looked flustered. he didn't make the plays that he needed at the end of the game. um He is exactly who Tins thought he was. So that was, maybe I'm the fraud.
00:48:13
tins
yeah
00:48:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was big on Carson Beck. um He let me down, but I am glad Miami lost. I think that's very funny.
00:48:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So here we are once again. ACC dropping games to lesser opponents. so and everybody's just kind of beating each other. so fun stuff.
00:48:34
tins
yeah i mean Yeah, Clemson lost the game too, so that was weird because they're they were you know they had an out-of-conference loss, so you feel like maybe Clemson get back into it in the ACC.
00:48:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:48:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they're done. So yes, only, the ACC is,
00:48:47
tins
Yeah, they're cooked now. But yeah, something about Louisville and Miami.
00:48:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
or Virginia is all of a sudden looking pretty spicy in the ACC race.
00:48:57
tins
And Pitt.
00:48:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, there's some teams that are not traditional powerhouses all of a sudden, with Florida State being pretty bad, Clemson being pretty bad, Miami taking a loss. All of a sudden, there is some space for... And Georgia Tech is... ah ah ah Like, right now, Georgia Tech, Virginia, and Miami are at the top of the ACC. So, the interesting stuff happening over there
00:49:20
tins
Might be time for a little Georgia Tech conference winner future.
00:49:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Georgia Tech-Georgia shaping up to be a humongous game.
00:49:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Later this season.
Podcast Conclusion & Final Thoughts
00:49:35
tins
Georgia Tech, plus 220 to win the ACC.
00:49:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:49:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Seems pretty good. What are Miami's changes right now?
00:49:43
tins
to eighty So the second.
00:49:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Plus 280? Who else is up there?
00:49:49
tins
um Virginia at plus 450. Louisville, 550. SMU at 750. I'm not seeing North Carolina. know what's going on. um Duke at plus 1300.
00:49:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Must be a mistake.
00:49:59
tins
Clemson, not on the

tins

00:50:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Sheesh.

tins
But Clemson. but no c clemson
00:50:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's not good. ah Yeah, that's pretty bad there for Clemson, who was preseason top five and projected to be a favorite to win the national championship.
00:50:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
