00:00The other game that I guess you could say is of marquee value tonight. It is the National TV game. I believe it's on Fox at 8 o'clock East and that is with Matt Brown in North Carolina against PJ Fleck in Minnesota. And it's never good, Joe, when you highlight the coaches as the reason why you're going to get involved in the game. Because honestly, the teams, you know, they're just not that great, Joe, to be quite honest with you.
00:30It's August 2 now. North Carolina, a road favorite here up at Minnesota where PJ Fleck always rows the boat. We got to be 51 and a half total as that's gone up a touch since this morning.
00:42Interesting, Joe, because, of course, it is Big Ten against ACC. And we do like when teams do that instead of playing, you know, Howard or Central Connecticut State and all these others. We do like when teams actually do this.
00:59Yeah, it's a they played last year, right? I think only they played in week three last year between these two teams. And interesting enough, even last year with under center for North Carolina was, you know, a first round pick and all the backup for the New England Patriots and Drake May.
01:21And both teams still only scored, I think, 44 total points in that game. This for some reason, the total keeps getting better up here. And I'm not quite sure why here, because the argument can be made that Max Johnson, the transfer who's got to be, what, 38 years old under center for North Carolina.
01:41Oh, yes. And now you have, of course, the I mean, one of the best transfers, a kid out of New Hampshire. Oh, yeah. New Hampshire. Something tells me there's not going to be a ton of offense in this game. So I do like the under. But ultimately, I do think North Carolina, there are injuries up and down for Minnesota on the offensive line, as well as their stud running back.
02:10And stud wide receiver don't look like they're going to be able to go here tonight. This was Minnesota over the summer, a slight favorite one and a half two point favorite. It is since gone the other way. I agree with it. I do think North Carolina's got much more experience.
02:28Gene Chizik out as the defensive coordinator for North Carolina. But they've got some nice pieces returning and a ton of weapons on offense for Johnson. I just think North Carolina is going to be too much in this game. But I still don't understand how we're going to get 52 points in this game. I don't understand why it's being steamed to the over.
02:50Yeah, you've got a team in Minnesota that does that can play some D. Joe. I mean, that's one thing. Yeah, they could do, especially over the leg. Their offense abysmal, but they can play some D. And you're right. I'm sick of these guys. Joe, these 2526 year old court. These guys that have been in college now for seven years, eight years. Not enough already. Joe. I mean, I get it.
03:16They gave the kids the year for the COVID. Now you get all these special exemptions. You get all enough with you shouldn't be able to be on four teams in college football. You shouldn't be able to go and play for four schools. It's just eventually it's got to end. I'm with you, Joe. I like the under tonight in that game. And I lean to Minnesota, but you're probably right. There's just a little bit more offensive talent on the North Carolina side.
03:42I'm going to stay away from the side, Joe, and I'm going to roll with you on that under tonight.
