Season Two Launch
00:00:00
Speaker
You got the vibes?
00:00:00
Speaker
You got the magic?
00:00:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:02
Speaker
All right.
00:00:03
Speaker
All right.
00:00:06
Speaker
Welcome back to the Fresh Cakes podcast.
00:00:08
Speaker
Season two.
00:00:09
Speaker
Took a little break, but we're back.
00:00:10
Speaker
I'm fresh.
00:00:11
Speaker
This is Pancakes.
00:00:12
Speaker
Yo.
00:00:14
Speaker
What's up, Pancakes?
00:00:15
Speaker
We're back.
00:00:15
Speaker
We're back at it.
00:00:16
Speaker
We're back.
00:00:17
Speaker
I'm tanner than I was the last time we were on here.
00:00:20
Speaker
You probably can't tell because I'm sitting in a dark room and I'm not much tanner, you know, than a normal person.
00:00:25
Speaker
But for me, I'm tan.
00:00:27
Speaker
All right, well, congratulations.
00:00:28
Speaker
I got a little farmer's tan.
00:00:31
Speaker
Yeah.
00:00:31
Speaker
Yeah, not much to write home about, but why don't we tell the people what we're talking about today?
College Football Excitement
00:00:38
Speaker
Probably just like the most exciting thing ever, Fresh, which is football is back.
00:00:42
Speaker
College football, which is my favorite, honestly.
00:00:45
Speaker
We just had week one this past weekend.
00:00:48
Speaker
And we're going to talk a little NFL, too, because that's coming up.
00:00:50
Speaker
And as we have talked about previously in this podcast, I really didn't have an allegiance to any NFL team, but I have taken on an allegiance.
00:00:57
Speaker
And I'm going to reveal that to you because you don't know what I picked.
00:01:00
Speaker
I don't.
00:01:00
Speaker
Yeah, I don't.
00:01:01
Speaker
I'm actually waiting with... I mean...
00:01:05
Speaker
I am excited to see who you picked.
00:01:11
Speaker
And yeah, we've been waiting for this.
00:01:13
Speaker
And that's part of the reason I think we explained it on our last episode.
00:01:16
Speaker
So you can check that Northwestern episode out.
00:01:19
Speaker
But yeah,
00:01:19
Speaker
You know, this is what we really love.
00:01:22
Speaker
We've been excited for the fall.
00:01:24
Speaker
So we're back at it.
00:01:25
Speaker
So, I mean, let's get into it.
00:01:27
Speaker
Who won?
00:01:28
Speaker
You know, we both won.
00:01:29
Speaker
Yes.
00:01:31
Speaker
Everybody won week one.
00:01:32
Speaker
Well, not everybody, but the people that at least matter to you and I won.
00:01:36
Speaker
I'm a Michigan fan by birthright.
00:01:38
Speaker
My father's from Michigan.
00:01:39
Speaker
So Michigan won.
00:01:41
Speaker
Go blue.
00:01:42
Speaker
And then my alma mater, UK won.
00:01:43
Speaker
So go blue times two.
00:01:45
Speaker
You know, go cats.
00:01:47
Speaker
And then your cats won as well.
00:01:49
Speaker
Right.
00:01:49
Speaker
And they are also blue.
00:01:51
Speaker
So, but I mean, I can't say the thing you said, but like, you know, we are, you can say it.
00:01:58
Speaker
I'm not saying the go, whatever.
00:02:00
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:02:01
Speaker
I'd say we are fed state one.
00:02:04
Speaker
Um, our new quarterback, um,
00:02:05
Speaker
Well, you know, since you have 75 different teams that you root for, I'm going to let you go first.
00:02:09
Speaker
It's not 75, it's still.
00:02:12
Speaker
It's close enough.
00:02:13
Speaker
Until recently, you had to be a manic depressive to watch Kentucky football.
00:02:18
Speaker
That's true.
00:02:19
Speaker
Only since Stoops.
00:02:21
Speaker
Coming in, has that team been watchable?
00:02:23
Speaker
And Will Levis, who actually literally came from Penn State, he's like kind of what turned the tide for Kentucky football.
00:02:28
Speaker
And he's actually, I don't know if you knew this, he's actually the reason Will Levis is that Devin Leary came to UK, transferred from NC State to UK because he roomed with Will Levis at like a quarterback camp or something.
00:02:41
Speaker
And Will Levis talked about how Liam Cohen was a great coach for him and like offense coordinator.
00:02:46
Speaker
Is that your next, is that your quarterback now?
00:02:49
Speaker
Yeah, he transferred from NC State
Penn State's Promising Season
00:02:51
Speaker
to Kentucky because, like, Will Lettess just talked to him about what a great school it was and, like, what great coaching he had there from Leon Cohen, who's, like, now back at UK.
00:02:59
Speaker
He spent, like, a season with the Rams last year, but now he's back.
00:03:03
Speaker
So all Kentucky quarterbacks have no loyalty.
00:03:07
Speaker
Is that what you're telling me?
00:03:09
Speaker
They just up and leave their teams and end up in Kentucky?
00:03:11
Speaker
Is that what you're telling me?
00:03:13
Speaker
They're loyal to Kentucky.
00:03:14
Speaker
They're loyal to... I mean, okay.
00:03:16
Speaker
To the blue that matters.
00:03:17
Speaker
Where did...
00:03:19
Speaker
I'm racking my brain here.
00:03:20
Speaker
I'm trying to think about where did Will Levis end up?
00:03:23
Speaker
Your favorite place.
00:03:25
Speaker
Where did we go?
00:03:26
Speaker
Tennessee Titans.
00:03:27
Speaker
Yeah.
00:03:28
Speaker
Tennessee.
00:03:28
Speaker
Go Vols.
00:03:29
Speaker
Is that what you're saying?
00:03:30
Speaker
Go Vols right now?
00:03:31
Speaker
Absolutely not.
00:03:31
Speaker
You'll never hear those words.
00:03:33
Speaker
I'm not even going to say go Titans either because Tennessee for never, dude.
00:03:37
Speaker
I mean, I do like the Titans coach because he's a Patriot legend.
00:03:41
Speaker
But okay.
00:03:43
Speaker
Who'd they beat?
00:03:44
Speaker
I didn't even pay attention to them.
00:03:46
Speaker
Michigan beat Eastern Carolina, which, you know, everybody wants it.
00:03:50
Speaker
This was a warm-up weekend.
00:03:51
Speaker
Kentucky beat Fall State.
00:03:52
Speaker
Season-defining win.
00:03:53
Speaker
Okay, both season-defining wins.
00:03:55
Speaker
Who did Penn State play?
00:03:56
Speaker
West Virginia, actually a real team.
00:03:58
Speaker
Yeah, they weren't ranked, though.
00:04:00
Speaker
They're not really a real team.
00:04:02
Speaker
They're not fucking Eastern, whatever the fuck you just said.
00:04:05
Speaker
Eastern Carolina?
00:04:07
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:09
Speaker
But win, win, win, right?
00:04:12
Speaker
Ohio State didn't look that good.
00:04:14
Speaker
No, I don't think their quarterback's very good.
00:04:20
Speaker
Yeah, they should have won by legions more than they won.
00:04:23
Speaker
I do want to talk quickly, if I can, Drew Aller, Penn State's
00:04:28
Speaker
Next new quarterback.
00:04:29
Speaker
Okay, sophomore.
00:04:31
Speaker
Number one rated pocket passer in the country last year.
00:04:35
Speaker
Got to play mop-up duty behind Sean Clifton.
00:04:39
Speaker
He came in 21 for 29, 325 yards, three touchdowns, no picks.
00:04:46
Speaker
I mean, boom, boom, boom.
00:04:48
Speaker
We got a guy.
00:04:48
Speaker
He's like six foot everything.
00:04:50
Speaker
Six, six foot six or some shit.
00:04:53
Speaker
Compared to Ben Roethlisberger, I mean, we got
Game Recaps: Penn State vs West Virginia
00:04:57
Speaker
a guy.
00:04:57
Speaker
Who do you got?
00:04:58
Speaker
You have a guy.
00:04:59
Speaker
You have a lot, actually.
00:05:00
Speaker
You don't have just a guy.
00:05:02
Speaker
I told you this earlier, a couple days ago.
00:05:06
Speaker
What did your dad say?
00:05:07
Speaker
Yeah, my dad said the only team my dad is scared of this year is Penn State.
00:05:12
Speaker
I mean, we got two running backs that are insane.
00:05:15
Speaker
They both averaged over five yards of carry in the game.
00:05:18
Speaker
You know, Keiondre Lambert-Smith had 123 yards of receiving.
00:05:22
Speaker
I mean, and we have most people consider a top three defense in the country.
00:05:27
Speaker
So, whoops, whoopsie, you know.
00:05:30
Speaker
We're ranked seventh, highest we've been ranked since 2020.
00:05:32
Speaker
So it's only been a few years, but it is the highest we've been ranked to start the season.
00:05:37
Speaker
I mean, we're not two or anything, but, you know, I didn't know we both got to have, you know, I didn't know we had to have two teams each.
00:05:44
Speaker
I didn't get the memo on that.
00:05:47
Speaker
Well, you know, one's by, one's by birth and one's by where I paid money to go to school.
00:05:53
Speaker
All right.
00:05:53
Speaker
Penn State is both of those for me.
00:05:55
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:05:56
Speaker
All right.
00:05:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:05:57
Speaker
I wasn't lucky enough.
00:05:58
Speaker
My dad didn't raise me to be a Kentucky football fan.
00:06:00
Speaker
He had more sense than that.
00:06:03
Speaker
I mean, basketball, they do all right.
00:06:05
Speaker
Um,
00:06:06
Speaker
You know who, speaking of, well, I already brought up our last episode, you know, so if you
Northwestern's Struggles
00:06:11
Speaker
want to refer back to that, that episode is called the Northwestern episode.
00:06:16
Speaker
Yeah?
00:06:17
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:18
Speaker
And I wanted to just do a little review on how Northwestern did in their game after the old, you know, scandal.
00:06:26
Speaker
I don't want to even bring it back up, but they played Rutgers, not a powerhouse.
00:06:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:06:34
Speaker
Not a good team.
00:06:38
Speaker
They lost 24 to 7.
00:06:39
Speaker
And if I'm remembering right, that 7 was they got like a lucky punt.
00:06:45
Speaker
Like they were punting and got a lucky bounce, recovered a frumble, and they had to go like a few yards to score that touchdown.
00:06:52
Speaker
So even that touchdown doesn't really count.
00:06:55
Speaker
Their starting quarterback, a guy by the name of Ben Bryant, who's done some fucked up shit to be their quarterback, which we've already talked about.
00:07:03
Speaker
20 of 36, 169 yards, no touchdowns.
00:07:11
Speaker
Two interceptions.
00:07:13
Speaker
Also lost two fumbles.
00:07:16
Speaker
So I don't know if that I don't think they were recovered, but he fumbled twice on top of the two picks.
00:07:21
Speaker
Quarterback rating 14.8.
00:07:22
Speaker
On a scale of one to what?
00:07:28
Speaker
higher than fucking 14.8.
00:07:29
Speaker
I'll tell you that.
00:07:31
Speaker
I think it's one to 100.
00:07:34
Speaker
I think it's one to 100 because our backup.
00:07:37
Speaker
So Drew Aller had an 86 rating.
00:07:39
Speaker
This guy, 14.8.
00:07:40
Speaker
Rutgers quarterback, by the way, it bears repeating, Rutgers not a fucking powerhouse team.
00:07:51
Speaker
He had an 81.9 quarterback rating.
00:07:54
Speaker
Had a touchdown, no picks.
00:07:56
Speaker
Is he even in undergrad or is he in grad school or something?
00:08:00
Speaker
Is Rutgers just pulling guys from the law school to be on the team?
00:08:03
Speaker
I don't know.
00:08:03
Speaker
It's just like, who's playing there?
00:08:05
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:08:06
Speaker
They lead the country in herpes.
00:08:08
Speaker
That's all I know.
Deion Sanders' Impact at Colorado
00:08:11
Speaker
So, Northwestern rushing.
00:08:14
Speaker
Their best rusher, Brendan Sullivan, four carries, 11 yards.
00:08:19
Speaker
So, 2.8 yards a carry.
00:08:22
Speaker
Cam Porter, six carries, eight yards.
00:08:27
Speaker
Okay.
00:08:27
Speaker
They had one guy with two carries and seven yards.
00:08:30
Speaker
One guy with two carries and one yard.
00:08:32
Speaker
And Ben Bryant, their quarterback, eight carries, negative 15 yards.
00:08:37
Speaker
So passing game, not really working.
00:08:40
Speaker
Running game, not really working.
00:08:41
Speaker
Defense not working, obviously.
00:08:44
Speaker
Defense not working.
00:08:46
Speaker
If you let Rutgers gain one yard, if you let Rutgers gain a first down, defense is not working so good.
00:08:54
Speaker
So anyways, I don't mean to pile on.
00:08:57
Speaker
I said that last time.
00:08:58
Speaker
I do feel bad for them, you know, for the people that weren't involved.
00:09:01
Speaker
But I kind of do mean to pile on because that was pretty dark shit that went on at Northwestern.
00:09:07
Speaker
So we can leave it at that.
00:09:09
Speaker
Any insight on this?
00:09:11
Speaker
They're just bad.
00:09:13
Speaker
And it doesn't seem like, you know, what we talked about in our last episode helped out their team any.
00:09:19
Speaker
Well, clearly the whole team listened to our podcast.
00:09:23
Speaker
They did.
00:09:24
Speaker
They left.
00:09:25
Speaker
They all went to, all the good players went to Colorado.
00:09:29
Speaker
Right.
00:09:30
Speaker
And reports I'm hearing in reports from Rutgers.
00:09:33
Speaker
They also listened to the podcast and they were like, we should win this easily.
00:09:38
Speaker
So they're playing fresh cakes in the locker room before, before the game.
00:09:41
Speaker
And they were like, oh, we can, we can do this.
00:09:43
Speaker
I mean, I know we're Rutgers, but we, we got this.
00:09:46
Speaker
So yeah, all that, all that happened.
00:09:49
Speaker
So there you go.
00:09:49
Speaker
There's your update on that.
00:09:51
Speaker
You did just refer to all the players going where,
00:09:55
Speaker
Colorado, Coach Prime.
00:09:57
Speaker
Coach Prime, who we have talked about before, Deion Sanders.
00:10:01
Speaker
Multi-sport athlete.
00:10:05
Speaker
Maybe one of the best sports careers in history, if you include all of what he's done now coaching.
00:10:11
Speaker
Yeah.
00:10:13
Speaker
And so what happened there?
00:10:16
Speaker
They beat TCU.
00:10:18
Speaker
And a lot of people thought they weren't going to beat TCU.
00:10:23
Speaker
And I'm going to say this, you know, like I'm glad that, you know, they did.
00:10:27
Speaker
And I think that what he did is completely brand new to college football, the way that he utilized the portal and brought players there.
00:10:35
Speaker
But I'm not going to say that I'm necessarily like 100% convinced yet because that TCU team that they kind of like hung with only had three starters from last year, the team that made it to the championship game.
00:10:49
Speaker
So like,
00:10:50
Speaker
I want to see them play like USC and see how close like that game is.
00:10:54
Speaker
Okay.
00:10:54
Speaker
But do you expect that?
00:10:57
Speaker
Like I'm with you on that.
00:10:59
Speaker
I don't expect them to year one, be the best team in football, but based on this, it's kind of easy to be like, okay, what are we going to see in year two?
00:11:10
Speaker
What are we going to see in year three?
00:11:11
Speaker
Is Colorado going to be the number one ranked team in the country in a couple of years?
00:11:15
Speaker
Like kind of right.
00:11:17
Speaker
I think that they definitely could be.
00:11:19
Speaker
How crazy would that be?
00:11:20
Speaker
Especially if they utilize the transfer portal the same way they did this year.
00:11:23
Speaker
Colorado, bro.
00:11:24
Speaker
Like what?
00:11:25
Speaker
It is so crazy.
00:11:26
Speaker
I mean, and if you hear him talk, it's like, I want to play for the guy.
00:11:30
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:11:31
Speaker
I'll go be a water boy for the guy.
00:11:33
Speaker
Like, you know, he's just a leader of men and he expects so much out of them.
00:11:37
Speaker
It's, it's awesome, dude.
00:11:39
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:40
Speaker
He said, um,
00:11:42
Speaker
he only cut like 20 players in the rest of them quit, which ended up being like total around 80, something like that.
00:11:48
Speaker
Colorado has like 80 new players this season.
00:11:51
Speaker
Yeah.
00:11:51
Speaker
It's like the whole team.
00:11:52
Speaker
Well, cause he went in there and he was like, we, I expect the best out of all of you.
00:11:56
Speaker
If you can't give it to me, if you don't want to beat the guy next to you, like be gone.
00:12:02
Speaker
And most of the team was like, all right, we're out.
00:12:04
Speaker
Like,
00:12:05
Speaker
You know what it reminds me of hearing him talk about it?
00:12:08
Speaker
And this just came out on Netflix not long ago, the Swamp Kings documentary that talked about the... Tebow and the Florida.
00:12:16
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:16
Speaker
And it reminds me, it's reminiscent of how Urban Meyer was trying to like condition those teams.
00:12:21
Speaker
He's like, you're going to work like a Navy SEAL basically to be the best.
00:12:27
Speaker
Urban Meyer also a lot of such a lot of such shit going on behind the scenes.
00:12:31
Speaker
But, you know, yeah, that was definitely like a fluff piece for Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer.
00:12:36
Speaker
If they really wanted to dive into that story, they wouldn't have they wouldn't have been a part of it if they actually wanted to talk about what that Florida team was really like.
00:12:42
Speaker
It would be like Aaron Hernandez, you know, feature murderer.
00:12:47
Speaker
Plenty of other guys on that team They mentioned him once in that entire documentary I digress They mentioned him once I digress I wanted to talk about Shador Sanders Deion Sanders' son is the quarterback for Colorado 510 yards Let me go back Ben Bryant, Northwestern 169 yards Two picks And two fumbles
00:13:14
Speaker
And two fumbles.
00:13:15
Speaker
Shador Sanders, 510 yards, four touchdowns, no picks, no fumbles.
00:13:21
Speaker
That's like a video game.
00:13:23
Speaker
Video game.
00:13:24
Speaker
And it's against the
Shadour Sanders' Potential
00:13:25
Speaker
17th team ranked in the country.
00:13:26
Speaker
I mean, no matter what, the experts looked at it and were like, yeah, they might not be a top 10 team anymore, but they gave them 17.
00:13:35
Speaker
Maybe a little bit that is based on last year.
00:13:37
Speaker
You might be right.
00:13:38
Speaker
They might have been ranked a little high, but still.
00:13:41
Speaker
I mean, 510 yards.
00:13:43
Speaker
That's insane.
00:13:43
Speaker
No matter what anyone says about like Colorado, like you or I, that quarterback they have, Deion Sanders' son, is like reminiscent of his father.
00:13:52
Speaker
He's just an insane athlete.
00:13:53
Speaker
Like that's crazy to do to any team.
00:13:55
Speaker
That many yards.
00:13:57
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:57
Speaker
And so we talked about this a little bit.
00:14:00
Speaker
He had a little extra motivation.
00:14:02
Speaker
You guys may have heard of this.
00:14:03
Speaker
He went on Pat McAfee's show, which we reference all the time.
00:14:08
Speaker
And said that TCU offensive coordinator Kendall Bryles was a huge motivation for him to want to beat TCU.
00:14:16
Speaker
I guess Shadour went to a camp at TCU, I think, while he was being recruited.
00:14:23
Speaker
And Deion Sanders said in this interview, the reason, quote, the reason he was so intense and relaxed and ready, not only did he study, but we went to the camp of a certain school and a certain coordinator we just played against.
00:14:37
Speaker
So he's the offensive coordinator.
00:14:40
Speaker
So Kendall Bryles, he was at that school and we went to the school's camp and he didn't pay Shadour no attention.
00:14:47
Speaker
So,
00:14:48
Speaker
You got Deion Sanders' son, and you're just not showing him any attention.
00:14:54
Speaker
Deion also said, I don't think he even spoke, barely even spoke to him.
00:14:58
Speaker
He just pushed him off to the side.
00:14:59
Speaker
So kind of poked the bear a little bit.
00:15:03
Speaker
I don't know how you're going to have Deion Sanders' son there and not even like just because of who his dad is.
00:15:10
Speaker
Give him almost like a nepotism treatment.
00:15:12
Speaker
Be like your father was one of the greatest athletes of all time.
00:15:14
Speaker
Yeah, like you've played in World Series and Super Bowls.
00:15:18
Speaker
That would be like having LeBron James' son at basketball camp and being like, I don't want to see what he can do.
00:15:23
Speaker
Yeah, exactly.
00:15:24
Speaker
You know, it's insane.
00:15:28
Speaker
So poked the bear, 510 yards, four touchdowns.
00:15:32
Speaker
Yikes.
00:15:33
Speaker
I mean, it's pretty impressive.
00:15:34
Speaker
And we've seen what Deion's done at other schools.
00:15:39
Speaker
I think it was at Jackson State that he was at before.
00:15:42
Speaker
Yeah, HBCU.
00:15:43
Speaker
Yeah, and made them amazing.
00:15:47
Speaker
And now Colorado.
00:15:48
Speaker
And I think it's so interesting to see a guy that's
00:15:53
Speaker
a leader on the level that he is.
00:15:55
Speaker
And everyone that you hear talk about him is like, he lights up the room.
00:15:58
Speaker
You just want to be around the guy.
00:15:59
Speaker
There's the charisma, the, what he demands.
00:16:02
Speaker
It sounds amazing.
00:16:03
Speaker
And I think it would be kind of cool unless they play Penn state.
00:16:07
Speaker
Like, I think it would be kind of cool to see like a random team, like Colorado, just like all of a sudden they're in the top 10, all of a sudden they're, you know, so they're in the top 25 now.
00:16:18
Speaker
It reminds me, wasn't Colorado pretty good in the 90s?
00:16:20
Speaker
I feel like I remember Michigan playing them in a bowl game, I want to say, or something like that.
00:16:27
Speaker
I think they beat Michigan.
00:16:28
Speaker
I mean, I was probably four.
00:16:30
Speaker
Didn't Colorado win the first national championship ever?
00:16:33
Speaker
Didn't we reference that?
Pac-10 Dissolution and Realignment Challenges
00:16:35
Speaker
I don't know.
00:16:36
Speaker
Maybe you and I were talking about that separately, but I don't know if we referenced that.
00:16:39
Speaker
It's something like that.
00:16:41
Speaker
He's going to return them to former...
00:16:43
Speaker
glory days glory yeah it's crazy and it's like cold as hell you it's like not it's not like going to usc and you being like a soft kid and you're like i want to play in the sunshine all day snow in colorado yeah oh yeah um and that speaking of that you know usc the whole pac-10 thing have you heard about that it's like gone yeah conference realignment is kind of um
00:17:09
Speaker
We didn't even plan on talking about this, but the Pac-10 is basically done.
00:17:14
Speaker
Everyone's going to the Big Ten and SEC and wherever else, like Big 12, I guess.
00:17:21
Speaker
So whatever.
00:17:22
Speaker
Welcome.
00:17:23
Speaker
Speaking of playing in the cold, again, can't wait for USC, UCLA to come play it.
00:17:29
Speaker
Michigan or Penn State.
00:17:30
Speaker
The Big House or Beaver Stadium.
00:17:33
Speaker
USC doesn't know what it means to play in a stadium like the Big House or Penn State.
00:17:38
Speaker
They've had it too good.
00:17:42
Speaker
They can't play in a wideout.
00:17:43
Speaker
To them, that's like playing in a national championship, and that's just like a regular weekend in the Big Ten.
00:17:47
Speaker
Yeah, and they're even like, oh, we made it to the Rose Bowl.
00:17:50
Speaker
Where is it?
00:17:51
Speaker
It's like our home stadium.
00:17:53
Speaker
It's like, what?
00:17:54
Speaker
They've had it too good for too long.
00:17:57
Speaker
No sympathy, USC.
00:17:59
Speaker
We'll see you in a blizzard.
00:18:00
Speaker
I can't wait for that.
Clemson's Overrating and Loss to Duke
00:18:02
Speaker
Come on, sunshine boys.
00:18:03
Speaker
Any other teams lose that you're happy about losing by chance?
00:18:09
Speaker
I am thrilled.
00:18:11
Speaker
Fresh.
00:18:12
Speaker
Clemson got beat by Duke.
00:18:16
Speaker
One, I think every single year, and I don't know how they do it, and I'm so glad that we kind of have like a playoff style, a little bit of football.
00:18:22
Speaker
I think Clemson has snuck their way too far into the top 10 for too long, and I do not think that they are that good.
00:18:28
Speaker
At all.
00:18:29
Speaker
I think they're overrated every year and they got beat by Duke.
00:18:33
Speaker
And I'm going to be honest, fresh.
00:18:34
Speaker
I didn't even know Duke had a football team.
00:18:36
Speaker
I live in North Carolina and I wasn't even aware that they had a football team.
00:18:42
Speaker
Well, it's kind of like Kentucky having a football team.
00:18:44
Speaker
If we're being honest, if we're being honest, actually worse.
00:18:47
Speaker
It is worse.
00:18:48
Speaker
It's actually worse than that, but.
00:18:50
Speaker
I can see that.
00:18:51
Speaker
It's not worse anymore, though, because Kentucky has been in the top 25 the last few years, and Duke has never.
00:18:57
Speaker
No, that's what I'm saying.
00:18:58
Speaker
Duke is worse off than, you know, even like you guys have made some noise and just had a QB that was being talked about in the top 10 of the draft.
00:19:07
Speaker
He got drafted first in the second round.
00:19:09
Speaker
And so explain that to me.
00:19:13
Speaker
Why Clemson?
00:19:14
Speaker
Is it a basketball thing?
00:19:16
Speaker
It's not.
00:19:16
Speaker
They don't like, you know, Kentucky's an SEC school.
00:19:19
Speaker
Michigan's a Big Ten school.
00:19:21
Speaker
I don't know what it is about Clemson.
00:19:23
Speaker
I just can't stand them.
00:19:24
Speaker
It's like Kentucky never plays them.
00:19:27
Speaker
Michigan never plays them.
00:19:29
Speaker
They're just one of those schools that like get...
00:19:31
Speaker
under my skin and I don't know why and I think it's because I think they've been like severely overrated every time they almost bother me a little bit like Notre Dame does how I think Notre Dame stays way overrated because they don't want to you know join like a real conference and they want to schedule all year I think the same with Clemson a lot and you know like
00:19:51
Speaker
What are they, ACC?
00:19:52
Speaker
Yeah, they're ACC.
00:19:54
Speaker
Which is like not even a real... You know, you play Duke.
00:20:00
Speaker
And I just don't think I have a lot of respect for him, honestly.
00:20:03
Speaker
All right, serious, very serious question coming at you right now, okay?
00:20:08
Speaker
This is not a softball.
00:20:09
Speaker
This is high heat, okay?
00:20:12
Speaker
If we flip sports to basketball, what are your feelings on Duke?
00:20:18
Speaker
Hate Duke.
00:20:19
Speaker
Okay, so flip back to college football.
00:20:23
Speaker
We're happy?
NFL Season and Fantasy Picks
00:20:25
Speaker
I'm happy that they got beat by a football team that probably, you know, many people didn't know existed.
00:20:32
Speaker
A lot of people probably didn't even think Duke even had enough people that wanted to try out for the football team.
00:20:37
Speaker
Okay, so Duke football, no threat.
00:20:40
Speaker
So fuck it, beat a team that I don't like.
00:20:43
Speaker
Duke basketball, different story.
00:20:45
Speaker
That's fair.
00:20:45
Speaker
I could imagine feeling that way.
00:20:48
Speaker
No, I want Duke to beat Clemson in basketball, too.
00:20:50
Speaker
I want them to win as many games as they can so that they're overrated and fluffed into the bracket like they are every year by the NCAA and then Kentucky to beat them there, too.
00:20:59
Speaker
Okay.
00:21:00
Speaker
That's fair.
00:21:01
Speaker
I like that.
00:21:03
Speaker
Duke is Ohio State to me in basketball.
00:21:06
Speaker
Right.
00:21:06
Speaker
That's where I'm coming from.
00:21:07
Speaker
I'm like, I've seen.
00:21:09
Speaker
Ohio State's still Ohio State to me in basketball.
00:21:11
Speaker
I can tell you Ohio State don't have a good history either.
00:21:13
Speaker
You know, like I hate them for a lot of reasons.
00:21:15
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:16
Speaker
That's what I'm saying.
00:21:17
Speaker
You're celebrating a Duke win, but it's basically, you know, I don't know, a JV team and it's football.
00:21:25
Speaker
It's like a high school team.
00:21:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:26
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:27
Speaker
You know, I'm going to be happy for those kids because, you know, they're playing football Duke and.
00:21:32
Speaker
28-7 or something?
00:21:35
Speaker
Was it 28-7?
00:21:36
Speaker
So they beat the shit out of them.
00:21:38
Speaker
It's not like they just beat them.
00:21:39
Speaker
It was embarrassing.
00:21:41
Speaker
And Clemson was ranked ninth?
00:21:43
Speaker
Yeah.
00:21:44
Speaker
Or something like that?
00:21:45
Speaker
They were way overrated like they are every single year and Duke
00:21:52
Speaker
beat him, which is awesome.
00:21:53
Speaker
And then Florida State beat LSU, which is crazy.
00:21:56
Speaker
Dude, I know.
00:21:57
Speaker
I don't like Florida State at all.
00:21:59
Speaker
I don't either, but that was an insane game to watch.
00:22:02
Speaker
I just don't like Bobby Bowden because he was always competing with Joe Pa for the wins lead, which Joe Pa won.
00:22:09
Speaker
So Bobby Bowden, go fuck himself.
00:22:11
Speaker
But yeah, it was an insane game.
00:22:14
Speaker
It was an insane game.
00:22:15
Speaker
I think LSU has to be overrated because Florida State hasn't
00:22:19
Speaker
I mean, have they even been ranked in the last few years?
00:22:21
Speaker
They've been nothing.
00:22:23
Speaker
They could be a sleeper team this year.
00:22:25
Speaker
Watch them come and just be like the TCU of last year.
00:22:29
Speaker
I can't have it.
00:22:30
Speaker
I can't see those colors.
00:22:31
Speaker
I can't see those colors.
00:22:33
Speaker
The Marine, like the gold.
00:22:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:35
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:36
Speaker
Okay.
00:22:38
Speaker
Stop with your chant.
00:22:39
Speaker
No one cares.
00:22:40
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:41
Speaker
Okay, but good for them.
00:22:42
Speaker
They beat LSU, whatever.
00:22:44
Speaker
They jumped Penn State.
00:22:46
Speaker
LSU fell behind Penn State.
00:22:47
Speaker
We didn't move.
00:22:48
Speaker
So, whatever.
00:22:50
Speaker
Yeah.
00:22:52
Speaker
So, really quick, because I'd like to shift to NFL.
00:22:59
Speaker
I'm pretty stoked.
00:23:00
Speaker
I picked the 49ers defense relatively early in my fantasy draft, and then Nick Bosa re-signed
00:23:07
Speaker
So boom, boom, boom, right pick.
00:23:11
Speaker
I probably just won my fantasy league.
00:23:13
Speaker
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
00:23:15
Speaker
Yeah, your defense is going to do all the work.
00:23:17
Speaker
I mean, they're pretty sorry.
00:23:18
Speaker
I mean, come on.
00:23:20
Speaker
Nick Bose is a beast.
00:23:21
Speaker
And I'm not a 49ers fan, Patriots fan.
00:23:24
Speaker
But, you know, game recognized game.
00:23:27
Speaker
Nick Bose is, you know, he's a big boy.
00:23:30
Speaker
Got to have him in there.
00:23:31
Speaker
So I'm pretty stoked about that.
00:23:33
Speaker
I'd be scared of him.
00:23:35
Speaker
Any of the bosses, they're all psychopaths.
00:23:37
Speaker
So just had to throw that in there, a little pat on the back to myself, to my brother.
00:23:42
Speaker
Let's call him Fred.
00:23:46
Speaker
Brother Fred.
00:23:48
Speaker
Sorry about it.
00:23:49
Speaker
I play him week one too.
00:23:50
Speaker
So sorry, buddy.
00:23:53
Speaker
Sorry, pal.
00:23:54
Speaker
49ers defense is going to be the same against me.
00:23:59
Speaker
Yeah, and that's like his wife's team and shit too, so it's like all up in your face.
00:24:04
Speaker
But we'll see what happens there.
00:24:06
Speaker
So let's get to the finale here.
00:24:10
Speaker
What's the team?
00:24:11
Speaker
Is there any story behind this?
00:24:13
Speaker
Is there any setup you need to give us on this?
00:24:14
Speaker
What's going on with the team?
00:24:15
Speaker
There is a story behind it.
00:24:17
Speaker
I'm going to tell you why I picked them.
00:24:19
Speaker
after I show you because I have a hat.
00:24:22
Speaker
It's basically what I'm creating here is like a college recruitment type deal, you know, where the kid signing picks like what college he wants by putting on the hat.
00:24:31
Speaker
I'm going to do that right now.
00:24:33
Speaker
I'm interested in that.
00:24:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:35
Speaker
All right.
00:24:35
Speaker
Because right now you have a University of Kentucky hat on now.
00:24:39
Speaker
That hat's about to change.
00:24:40
Speaker
All right.
00:24:40
Speaker
Let's do it.
00:24:42
Speaker
And I'm taking my headphones off, but I guarantee I'll still be able to hear.
00:24:44
Speaker
Okay.
00:24:45
Speaker
Am I going to be pissed by the way, real quick?
00:24:48
Speaker
Oh, boy.
00:24:49
Speaker
I feel like I'm going to be pissed.
00:24:53
Speaker
Nope.
00:24:54
Speaker
Nope.
00:24:56
Speaker
That's not real.
00:24:57
Speaker
That's not real.
00:24:58
Speaker
Yeah, it is.
00:24:59
Speaker
It's not real.
00:25:00
Speaker
Go birds.
00:25:02
Speaker
E-A-G-L-E-S, eagles.
00:25:04
Speaker
We did a whole episode on how much I hate them.
00:25:06
Speaker
Fly, eagles, fly, baby.
00:25:07
Speaker
Fly, eagles, fly.
00:25:09
Speaker
So what dumbass ignorant reason could you possibly have come up with to pick fucking eagles of anyone just to hurt my feelings or what?
00:25:19
Speaker
What is it?
00:25:20
Speaker
Well, that played a part in it.
00:25:21
Speaker
No, that wasn't the only reason.
00:25:23
Speaker
I'm kidding.
00:25:24
Speaker
Dude, I actually did a spreadsheet on this.
00:25:26
Speaker
I don't have it anymore, but I did a spreadsheet, and I had like five or six teams that I was considering.
00:25:32
Speaker
The Patriots were one of them.
00:25:33
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:34
Speaker
And I scored them on things like standout and like pop culture, you know, team, like player notoriety, location, colors of the uniforms, you know, because that's like a big deal to me.
00:25:44
Speaker
You don't want to like.
00:25:45
Speaker
Pretty good patriots.
00:25:46
Speaker
Okay.
00:25:47
Speaker
So you hate America.
00:25:48
Speaker
Got you.
00:25:48
Speaker
What else?
00:25:49
Speaker
No.
00:25:50
Speaker
All right.
00:25:50
Speaker
And I'm going to tell you why I picked the Eagles.
00:25:51
Speaker
Like what made sense for me.
00:25:54
Speaker
And I can't believe I'm seeing this.
00:25:58
Speaker
One.
00:25:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:26:00
Speaker
Both Taylor Swift and Zach Bryan are Eagles fans, so boom, easy.
00:26:04
Speaker
Two, there is a very popular movie, fighting movie, that is set in Philadelphia that my name is in that people yell at me all the time.
00:26:13
Speaker
Okay.
00:26:15
Speaker
This is a city that built a statue for a fake person.
00:26:22
Speaker
Well, he's a real person, but yes.
00:26:26
Speaker
Rocky Balboa.
00:26:27
Speaker
Okay, so that's it.
00:26:30
Speaker
Pop culture, movies and music, nothing to do with football so far.
00:26:35
Speaker
And then three, which is I feel like the most important reason, which is what really made me pick up.
00:26:42
Speaker
No, I don't know.
00:26:44
Speaker
I mean, I don't know if we've ever mentioned this on the podcast before, but I had a heart transplant.
00:26:50
Speaker
And my donor heart, like my donor, um, was, came from Philly.
00:26:56
Speaker
She lived right outside Philly.
00:26:58
Speaker
And I feel like it's just like a little bit of an homage, you know, cause like, I'm going to assume, you know, that them like living in Philly, like her and her family or, or Eagles fans or are Eagles fans.
00:27:09
Speaker
So, uh,
00:27:11
Speaker
That's the main reason I picked it.
00:27:13
Speaker
You couldn't have led with that one?
00:27:14
Speaker
Now you're making me look like it.
00:27:17
Speaker
Come on, man.
00:27:19
Speaker
I'll give you that one, I guess.
00:27:20
Speaker
But I don't want to have to look at this hat all the time.
00:27:22
Speaker
And my favorite show in the world is Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
00:27:27
Speaker
It's a good show.
00:27:29
Speaker
It all lines up.
00:27:32
Speaker
And that'd be fun for us too to like have a little bit more of like a, we can't agree on too much, you know?
00:27:37
Speaker
Here's my narrative for the whole season is that you picked them because they're in the Superbowl.
00:27:41
Speaker
All the other shit out the window, except the hard thing.
00:27:44
Speaker
But like, you know, I can't believe you saved the haymaker for the third one, man.
00:27:51
Speaker
The first two were both Taylor Swift.
00:27:53
Speaker
Like some, come on bullshit.
00:27:55
Speaker
But you know what?
00:27:56
Speaker
Don't they, don't we have a matchup week one?
00:27:59
Speaker
Yeah.
00:28:00
Speaker
This Sunday.
00:28:01
Speaker
All right.
00:28:02
Speaker
All right.
00:28:03
Speaker
Look.
00:28:03
Speaker
All right.
00:28:04
Speaker
We'll see how it goes.
00:28:05
Speaker
We'll see how it goes.
00:28:06
Speaker
Because you picked the team that was just in the Super Bowl to be your team, you know?
00:28:12
Speaker
Ah, God.
00:28:13
Speaker
That's not why I picked them.
00:28:14
Speaker
Because you know who else I was considering was the Chicago Bears.
00:28:18
Speaker
Because my brother lives in Chicago.
00:28:20
Speaker
And I have other family.
00:28:21
Speaker
Like, I have cousins.
00:28:22
Speaker
And, like, my aunt that lives in Chicago, my grandma.
00:28:26
Speaker
And I was, like, I considered them for that.
00:28:29
Speaker
But I was, like...
00:28:30
Speaker
Why not the Lions?
00:28:31
Speaker
People are liking the Lions.
00:28:32
Speaker
I did consider the Lions, too.
00:28:34
Speaker
But, like, just never... Not a good enough record last year for you.
00:28:41
Speaker
Not in the Super Bowl last year, huh?
00:28:43
Speaker
Is that the problem?
00:28:44
Speaker
I'm already, like, a big Tigers fan, as you know, so I can only handle so much heartbreak out of Detroit and out of Michigan.
00:28:50
Speaker
You know, like, Michigan keeps breaking my hat, so I don't... My hat.
00:28:55
Speaker
Yeah, so if...
00:28:58
Speaker
Kelsey, Travis Kelsey, who just hyperextended his knee.
00:29:01
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:02
Speaker
If he doesn't play week one against the Lions, you think they have a chance to beat the Chiefs?
00:29:06
Speaker
That'd be pretty awesome.
00:29:07
Speaker
That would make me so happy because you know how much I hate the Chiefs.
00:29:11
Speaker
And another reason I picked the Eagles is I really, really hate the Cowboys.
00:29:16
Speaker
Okay.
00:29:17
Speaker
Really hate the Cowboys.
00:29:18
Speaker
I agree with you on that.
00:29:20
Speaker
How much is it going to cost to never wear that hat again, though?
00:29:24
Speaker
I'm going to wear it for every episode this season.
00:29:26
Speaker
I can't happen.
00:29:28
Speaker
That can't happen.
00:29:29
Speaker
All right.
00:29:30
Speaker
Welcome back to season two.
00:29:32
Speaker
It's our first and last episode of season two.
00:29:35
Speaker
This asshole over here picked the Eagles to be our team.
00:29:39
Speaker
But here's what I'll give you.
00:29:44
Speaker
I'm actually glad you didn't pick the Patriots because it would have been so lame if we were like, we agree on everything, you know?
00:29:50
Speaker
I know that's not picking the Patriots.
00:29:53
Speaker
I'll give you that.
00:29:54
Speaker
You couldn't have picked the Patriots.
00:29:55
Speaker
Cause you know, that's my dad's favorite team.
00:29:57
Speaker
Is it?
00:29:58
Speaker
Yeah.
00:29:58
Speaker
My dad's favorite team is Patriots.
00:30:00
Speaker
Cause you know, Michigan, Tom Brady, like he loved, loves Patriots.
00:30:03
Speaker
Yeah.
00:30:05
Speaker
Um,
00:30:06
Speaker
Well, and so did you not want to, you know, you could have talked to him about it.
00:30:10
Speaker
You know, maybe he could have.
00:30:12
Speaker
He doesn't watch NFL really, but like he likes the Patriots and he will like the Patriots and he'll watch it, but he's a college football guy.
00:30:18
Speaker
We're still going to have a good defense this year.
00:30:21
Speaker
We'll see.
00:30:23
Speaker
Go Birds.
00:30:23
Speaker
So honorary, because we're about to wrap this up, but I did want to mention, because we do have to mention this every episode, my third QB on my team, Aaron Rodgers, drafted him.
00:30:35
Speaker
I drafted him.
00:30:36
Speaker
Oh my God.
00:30:38
Speaker
Just so that we'd have to talk about it.
00:30:39
Speaker
I actually didn't even think about it, but he was there and it was just a bench quarterback.
00:30:44
Speaker
And I was like, I mean, if you're going to let, if I can pick up Aaron Rogers for my bench.
00:30:50
Speaker
Okay.
00:30:51
Speaker
You know, so you can't, I can't get rid of this guy.
00:30:56
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:30:57
Speaker
So no.
00:30:58
Speaker
I'll tell you what, I didn't have to do a darkness retreat to figure out if I was going to draft him or not.
00:31:02
Speaker
I just did it.
00:31:04
Speaker
I don't know if, like, you know, maybe he could learn something or two from me because it didn't take four days in the fucking dark to make a decision about that.
00:31:14
Speaker
Yeah, I was like, you're playing, bro.
00:31:16
Speaker
Get in.
00:31:16
Speaker
Good enough.
00:31:18
Speaker
I'll take it.
00:31:18
Speaker
He's on the bench, though.
00:31:19
Speaker
He's on the bench.
00:31:20
Speaker
Don't hold it against me.
00:31:22
Speaker
I won't.
00:31:22
Speaker
All right.
00:31:24
Speaker
Well...
00:31:24
Speaker
All right.
00:31:25
Speaker
Well, disappointing finish here with this Eagles bullshit, but yeah.
00:31:29
Speaker
Fantastic finish.
00:31:30
Speaker
Yeah, fantastic.
00:31:31
Speaker
All right.
00:31:32
Speaker
Then I got a ready break for the Pats then right in your face.
00:31:35
Speaker
And I guess you're going to ready break for whatever bullshit you're doing over there.
00:31:38
Speaker
Yeah.
00:31:39
Speaker
All right.
00:31:42
Speaker
Who's going first?
00:31:43
Speaker
You go first.
00:31:44
Speaker
All right.
00:31:45
Speaker
Pats.
00:31:46
Speaker
Red, white, and blue America.
00:31:47
Speaker
Patriots.
00:31:48
Speaker
Ready?
00:31:48
Speaker
Ready?
00:31:50
Speaker
Break.
00:31:50
Speaker
Break.
00:31:52
Speaker
All right.
00:31:52
Speaker
I only had two words.
00:31:57
Speaker
Ready?
00:31:57
Speaker
I'm playing Fly Eagles Fly as our outro right now.
00:32:04
Speaker
You are not playing Fly Eagles Fly.
00:32:07
Speaker
I am just playing right now as we're talking.
00:32:10
Speaker
I can't have it.
00:32:12
Speaker
Don't do this to me.
