00:00All right, here we go, Doug.
00:02Question number one.
00:03Who or what impressed you the most in week one?
00:06I've always been a fan of this guy, and he got in his own way in his career, but he's
00:12got another chance at the collegiate level.
00:13I'm going to go Bill O'Brien, Boston College.
00:16I'm really impressed with them, and I'm always like Bill O'Brien as a college coach.
00:21When he went to the NFL with the Texans, he was coach slash GM, and he wasn't a great
00:26GM.
00:27And gets another shot, he was bouncing around as a coordinator, worked with Saban, and gets
00:31a gig at Boston College.
00:34Bill O'Brien sounds like a guy who should be coaching in Boston, and in his first game,
00:40for them this year to be able to go out and run the football the way that they did was
00:45kind of old school, and I'm so impressed.
00:48And I started wondering, in year one, he can't win the ACC, can he?
00:51I mean, is that thing wide open, Vatek, Clemson, and Florida State all lose?
00:58Could Boston College?
00:59Did you include Florida State?
01:02Why?
01:03Well, they all lost, and that's my point, is that thing might be wide open, and BC doesn't
01:12play Miami.
01:14So I guess that's what impressed me the most.
01:17Now I was impressed by Boston College as well, but I'm going to go right here in Big
01:21Ten country, the little town we like to call Los Angeles, and say USC.
01:27I was very impressed with what they did to LSU.
01:30They punched them in the mouth, and they didn't let up.
01:32They just played a strong, strong game.
01:36In the game, I think that when you're watching, you kept waiting for LSU to just kind of pull
01:40away and just take care of it, because USC just doesn't have defense.
01:44And USC had enough defense.
01:46They had defense when it mattered.
01:47Now, did they give up over 400 yards in offense?
01:50They did, but they also got a turnover, and more importantly, they took care of the football,
01:56and they took care of it when it mattered.
01:58And in the end, they come out with a 27-20 victory over LSU.
02:03I thought it was awesome.
02:04Nice job by USC.
02:05I like how you kept that local gator.
02:07I'm going to stay local too in the Big Ten.
02:09Penn State impressed me, because I picked against them.
02:12They just got to prove it for me, and maybe it is their year.
02:16I doubt it, but at least for this week, they impressed me.
02:19They're impressive.
02:20It was a nice win on the road, so Penn State, good job.
02:25Is there any other team or program that is close to the disaster that is Florida State?
02:30And if not, who's number two in the disaster program rankings?
02:34I don't know if anybody's close, but I do have a number two, and it's Texas A&M.
02:39All that money, coaching changes, transfer portal here and transfer portal there, and
02:46they lose their home opener, given it was to Notre Dame, it's a pretty big game, but
02:52it's Texas A&M for me.
02:54They're not there.
02:55They thought they were going to just walk right into the SEC and compete with the big
02:59boys, and they're not.
03:02I'm looking at you, UCLA.
03:06They got people leaving that program, transferring out, coaches leaving for coordinator jobs.
03:13They get Deshaun Foster to be their head coach, and he gives a bizarre speech at the Big Ten
03:21meetings.
03:22Where's UCLA?
03:23Just so you all know, we're in Los Angeles.
03:26Then they go to Hawaii and fly dangerously close to the sun.
03:32They come from behind and win 16 to 13.
03:37All that travel, I think it's going to be a long year for the Bruins.
03:42I'm going to go, I don't know if they're number two, but my pick is Clemson.
03:46They do get to play Florida State this year, but Debo Samuel, Debo Sweeney, sorry, not
03:51Debo Samuel.
03:52Debo Sweeney.
03:53Debo.
03:54I don't even, what am I even referring to?
03:55Debo, what do you say, Doug?
03:56Sweeney.
03:57Swing it over, three, two, one.
03:58Yeah, there you go.
03:59Debo, what are you doing, man?
04:02You got to embrace the transfer portal.
04:04I know you want to do it your way and you have a foundation you're trying to set and
04:07all this stuff, but it's going to possibly cost you your job.
04:11I think they would eat that money if it came to it.
04:13They gave him a ton of money.
04:14He's got a lot of years left, but in the end, you've got to win football games and they
04:19don't care how you do it.
04:21Embrace the change.
04:22Right now, it's not good enough.
04:23He's not a good enough coach to overcome the lack of talent.
04:26They need the portal.
04:27They need to embrace all the stuff that comes with new college football.
04:29I'm going Clemson.
04:31All right.
04:32Which underdog do you love plus the points, but you just think they might win outright
04:37this week?
04:38Well, I'm looking at a few.
04:41I kind of like Baylor is a 14 point underdog at Utah.
04:48Baylor is a team that has a transfer quarterback and for Mac fans, you remember Dequan Finn
04:55from Toledo?
04:58He put up huge numbers in their open, huge numbers in the Mac.
05:01He is now leading their, their program and they won big in week one over an outmanned
05:05opponent in Tarleton state.
05:07Real team.
05:08I, I'm going to take Baylor plus the points at Utah, but Utah better be on their best
05:13behavior.
05:14Yeah.
05:15I like Boise state getting 19 and a half over Oregon.
05:19I'm not sold on Oregon.
05:20You know, everybody seems to think that, you know, Dan Lanning's got this thing going and
05:24I'm not saying he doesn't, but this is the second game of the season and I think there's
05:29going to still be some hiccups in the, in the road here.
05:32They only put up 24 points over the weekend against, was it Idaho state and Dylan Gabriel,
05:38the quarterback there was pretty efficient, 41 to 49, but 380 yards and a couple of touchdowns,
05:44but the 24 points out of that, that's it.
05:46They had a guy almost went for a hundred yards, rushing 95 in the game.
05:49And again, only 24 points against Idaho state.
05:54Meanwhile, Boise, they did a real nice job with the, with their run game and the running
06:01back ran for 270 yards and six touchdowns or whatever it was.
06:06I'm just a, I always leery of, of Boise state.
06:09This is a program that has been around seemingly forever playing at that high level of a level.
06:15And they really enjoy and relish getting these chances to play big time games.
06:18And this one is a, the big, big 10 matchup already in week one.
06:23You know what?
06:24I've got Colorado plus seven and a half over Nebraska.
06:26I know Nebraska is up and coming now, but when you have three studs on Colorado, like
06:31Shador Sanders, Travis Hunter, and Travis Hunter, you've got a shot because you've got,
06:36you've got a shot, right?
06:37With those three type of Heisman type candidates on your squad.
06:42I'm not sure how I feel about Dion right now.
06:45I mean, the way he's reacting to the media is different than the way he's on the field.
06:47You know, if his, if his players behind him, if they can protect Sanders enough, he can
06:51score some points.
06:52Like I said, Travis Hunter, both sides of the field.
06:54I mean, the guy's amazing, right?
06:56Yep.
06:59All right.
07:00Is Dabble Sweeney in the hot seat?
07:01Not Debo Samuel, but Dabble Sweeney.
07:03Yeah.
07:04I think he is.
07:05I think you got to adapt or you're going to die and he refuses to embrace the transfer
07:09portal.
07:10He's, you know, the only non-service, Clemson's the only non-service Academy team since 2018
07:17to not have a transfer portal starter.
07:20I mean, proves into pudding.
07:21They didn't win 10 games last year for the first time in, you know, forever.
07:25It feels like, I think it was 2011 and they lose their opener.
07:31So yeah, I'm going to say it's Dabble Sweeney is on the hot seat.
07:35I'm going to say no.
07:36I think a coach like that is you give him some time and, and there's no guarantees that
07:41this is going to be a terrible year.
07:42George is great.
07:43And the ACC is bad.
07:44He could bounce back, win that conference and go to the playoff, but I mean, get past
07:48Boston College, but I think you've got to give a coach that won a national championship
07:54more of an opportunity to correct it because there's one thing here he refuses to do.
07:58And you say, okay, if he has a bad year this year, I would say you got next year to correct
08:02it.
08:03And if you don't take transfers, you better be right.
08:05And if you're not, then we might make a change.
08:08I think it's definitely warm.
08:09I don't know why he won't embrace the portal.
08:11I understand retention and all that stuff is, is nice and, and, you know, fuzz warm
08:16and fuzzy.
08:17But at the end, like I said earlier, you got to win football games.
08:20And if you continue to lose, they will eat that money and they will move on.
08:23But dabble wants to try to do it his way.
08:26And I just don't think in the end it's going to work because everyone else is doing it
08:28differently.
08:29All right, Penn state looked great, but what James Franklin messed this up most assuredly.
08:39Next question.
08:40Look, I don't know if they have enough top end talent, but
08:46they're my sleeper team to win the big 10.
08:48I kind of like what they've got going here.
08:49They play USC on the road and they play Ohio state at the home at home.
08:53They don't have to play Oregon.
08:54They don't have to play Michigan.
08:57I think they only lose once during the season.
08:59So I think, I think this is a, so what James Franklin mess it up.
09:04I don't think he messes it up.
09:05All right.
09:06Yes, he does mess it up.
09:07Prove it to me.
09:10All right.
09:14One last one for fun guys.
09:15Make a red solo cup guarantee this weekend, red solo cup.
09:20We all know the deal here.
09:21What is the matter with you?
09:22We're going to save some safe place, circle of trust.
09:27I believe in accountability for things that you say, I don't think I want to do this.
09:31Well then make it, make it a good one that you're really sure.
09:35Come on.
09:36All right.
09:37I'll step up.
09:38That's right.
09:39A big 10 team will lose this weekend.
09:42All right.
09:43That's fine.
09:44I did.
09:46Yeah.
09:47I, the big tent went 17 and one last week.
09:48We'll not go 17 and one this week.
09:52That's my red solo cup guarantee.
09:54So it's kind of the same, but a little different.
09:56You're put here.
09:57Are you on more than a limb than me?
09:58Are there, is there more than one team?
10:00One game this week?
10:01When two big 10 teams play.
10:02Oh yeah.
10:03Oh no, no, no.
10:04You're going on a limb.
10:07You say that Purdue don't play.
10:08I got the week off.
10:09I was going to say there's enough games then.
10:11All right.
10:12How about the one last thing?
10:13Say that.
10:14They won't just lose one game this week.
10:16No, I'm not doing that.
10:17I'm not doing that.
10:18We listened.
10:19Seriously.
10:20I started thinking about this question when I saw it and I'm like, well, Howard, we'll
10:23throw a touch.
10:24No, I better not do that.
10:25Ohio state will win.
10:26You start thinking about the what's at stake here.
10:28This is why you don't make that kind of guarantee.
10:30That's why you start thinking about what's at stake.
10:32Kang, I know you're going to do one.
10:34Go ahead.
10:35Yeah.
10:36I got Georgia beat in Tennessee tech.
10:37Okay.
10:38That, that feels like a sure thing.
10:39Book it.
10:40Which means I don't have to do it.
10:42If Texas, you start thinking about the stakes that if you actually have to do it, it gets
10:48scary.
10:49You're like, what if somebody gets hurt?
10:50What if there's a massive storm that rolls in?
10:52Which is why my prediction of a big 10 team losing this week is great because Michigan
10:55state plays Maryland and they can't tie.
10:58Yeah.
10:59I was like, nobody's going to win a game five to four.
11:02Like I was thinking about doing that, but then I'm like, what if, what if there's a
11:06three safety game?
11:07Somebody kicks a field goal at the end to win it.
11:09My God.
11:10Yeah.
11:11What if something happens to the Michigan state Maryland game where they caught off?
11:15Well then all bets are off.
11:16Then I can't make that bet on a, on a betting app.
11:24So if you can't do that, then you just said loss.
11:26That's it.
11:27That's part of the thing.
11:28They don't play.
11:29They don't lose.
11:30They don't play.
11:31They don't lose.
11:32I, I, I want to abstain from this question, but it's a horrible question.
11:36And that concludes the live animal mascot marching band trophy game thingy.
11:41It's Carson Anderson here on 97, one, the ticket.
