I'm gonna take 21 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,759 over right now. Friend. So, Jeff, which ACC team do you 22 00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:21,560 think was the most disappointing team in week three? At which ACC team was 23 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,960 the most impressive week team in Week three? Certainly easy to bang Virginia Tech 24 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,759 for disappointing teams, but there are other candida, there are other candidates, 25 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,960 and I'm I'd like to have you talk about the the the entire ACC enterprise. 26 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:43,280 Jeff. Yeah. I think when you look at disappointing teams, and 27 00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:47,639 I know you'll have comments on Virginia Tech, you know, really disappointing effort 28 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:53,400 there at Rutgers, but you know, right up there with him, you 29 00:02:53,439 --> 00:02:58,240 have to look at Pittsburgh. They never really even look like they were in 30 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,120 the game against West Virginia. It was an eleven point loss and it felt 31 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:07,039 like it could have been, you know, thirty. They're they're Offensively, 32 00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:15,240 they're an absolute disaster. Fill your COVID. He has struggled mightily, you 33 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,520 know, as quarterback of Pittsburgh. The offense is in shambles. They lost 34 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,159 to a Cincinnati team that got beat by Miami of Ohio the week you know, 35 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,479 this week, and that was a loss the week before in a game 36 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,319 they had to rally just to get it to twenty seven twenty one. Not 37 00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:37,840 not only was Pittsburgh you know, I think, you know, one of 38 00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,639 the most disappointing teams of the week. I think they're an easy call for 39 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,520 maybe the most disappointing team in the ACC. You know, when you look 40 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,520 at Virginia and Virginia Tech that they weren't expected a lot. And Clemson, 41 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,639 you know, had the very disappointing opening loss to Duke uh and it's played 42 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,520 better in the two games. But but Pittsburgh right now is completely flailing. 43 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,080 And that was a team a lot of us thought could be a dark horse 44 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:09,840 in the ACC. Now, I will say this, how much of the 45 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:15,479 Virginia Tech game did you watch? Jeff Annie bits and pieces? I saw 46 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,959 bits and pieces. That's why I'm gonna leave Virginia Tech to you. So 47 00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:21,759 so no, no, But but did you watch did you watch drones? 48 00:04:23,319 --> 00:04:26,439 Did you watch drones? Is the QB for for Virginia Tech? Jeff? 49 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:30,639 Did you watch him? A little bit? Very very I only caught bits 50 00:04:30,639 --> 00:04:35,240 and pieces. So he is a far He gives Virginia Tech a far better 51 00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:41,560 chance to win. He is mobile, he is more decisive, and I 52 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,319 would argue that if he would have got the same if he would have got 53 00:04:45,319 --> 00:04:50,319 all the snaps that that that Wells did, that they probably would have be 54 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:59,600 perdue because he gives a different dimension to that office, that offense chiefs they 55 00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:04,040 just said office. He gives a different dimension because I'm thinking about work tomorrow. 56 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:11,040 He gives that a different dimension to that offense that the Hokeys just don't 57 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,519 have, you know, and I you know sometimes I do you remember the 58 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,160 several years ago? Do you remember when they when they threw Tyrod Taylor in 59 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,600 for Sean Glennon when they were on the road at LSU. Do you remember 60 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,079 that, Jeff, several years ago? Yes, I do. That's a 61 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560 that was an indication of where the offensive line was at at the time. 62 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,720 And I kind of feel the same way today that you've got to have somebody 63 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,720 in there who's mobile and can run for his life. I mean, at 64 00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:45,680 times I thought that, oh my gosh, we're running the Logan Thomas offense 65 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,959 again, and coincidentally, we're playing ruckers again, just like we did the 66 00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:54,720 Holiday Ball. That's what I started thinking in my mind. And but he 67 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,120 is. He is a faster Corbeck, he's more mobile, he's more you 68 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,560 know, more decisive. I believe he gives Virginia Tech a better chance to 69 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,120 win. And I hear the coaches saying like, oh, you know, 70 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,680 we really hope we can have Welles back. No, you don't, because 71 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,240 he can't run. He can't run to save his life. Do I want 72 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:17,000 him running the pitch? Do I run him? We're running the option? 73 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,800 Of course I don't. Not at all. This is a bad This is 74 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,720 not a good move for Virginia would not be a good move for Virginia Tech. 75 00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:30,000 And if he ends up, and if Welles ends up starting next week, 76 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:35,399 Jeff, I honestly think that there's a very good chance that Virginia Tech 77 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,519 ends up at two and ten this year. And I'm actually dead serious about 78 00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:45,360 this. I mean, I wrote about just a little bit. I've sent 79 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:48,439 you several tweets this week about how I think that they're probably four a sure 80 00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,399 losses left on the schedule, three fifty fifty games and one, you know, 81 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,120 one game that I think Virginia or Virginia Tech will win for sure. 82 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600 And of course I always say that Virginia Tech is going to be Virginia until 83 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:04,920 it doesn't happen at ninety eight percent of the time, I'm right, yeah, 84 00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:10,800 but you know the deal, you know, the deal is that you 85 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,279 know, I don't think that they're they're already an underdog at Marshall. I 86 00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:18,519 mean, I think the line is nine. Now, yeah, I was 87 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,399 shocked it was more than a touchdown. And that that, I mean, 88 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:26,600 we gotta be honest, that's a really bad look for Virginia Tech. It's 89 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,680 a bad look for a lot. I mean, it's happened to a lot 90 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:32,879 of teams. But I mean that that's but Marshal's legit. They're good, 91 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,399 They're probably gonna win their probably gonna win their conference. And you know, 92 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,519 so anyway, I mean, I don't see, you know, and when 93 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,079 when I say in the fifty fifty games, right, I mean I talk 94 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,560 about teams like Syracuse, but that's not so much a fifty fifty game anymore 95 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,480 after I sound, you know how they handled for do pretty well, right, 96 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,120 and then they're you know you and you think about BC, well, 97 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,399 they gave BC gaate forward to state all they could handle. But my thought 98 00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:03,360 on the fifty fifty games is that if you, if the coaches are smart 99 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,160 and they keep playing drones, he's going to get better as this season goes 100 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,360 along. But I'll tell you if they if they don't play drones, if 101 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,800 they if they say, oh no, we're gonna play wells, I'll rewrite 102 00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:18,759 every one of the predictions I had about the fifty fifty games. And you 103 00:08:18,839 --> 00:08:22,120 go back to straight two and ten because I think, because I actually think 104 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:28,480 Virginia's worst, worst shaped than Virginia Tech. But you know, and like 105 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,600 I said, I'll pick Virginia, I'll pick the Hokies until until it doesn't 106 00:08:33,639 --> 00:08:41,679 happen, okay, And I think Virginia they're just a top to bottom mess 107 00:08:41,759 --> 00:08:46,840 right now. I mean, for like a moment against Maryland, you thought 108 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:50,000 like, oh, are they going to actually compete in this game? They 109 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,240 were up fourteen to zero, and then Maryland scored forty two straight unanswered points 110 00:08:54,799 --> 00:08:58,360 and it was just like a comedy of errors watching Virginia play, I mean 111 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:03,679 they were they were dropping you know, they when they still had an outside 112 00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,919 chance of competing in that game. I mean they were dropping passes, missing 113 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:15,200 tackles. I mean they just looked disorganized and poorly coached and not talented. 114 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,559 I mean that's that's a terrible combination to have. And I mean I don't 115 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,279 think it doesn't matter what happens this year. I think Tony Elliott is going 116 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:31,840 to be back at Virginia, but I mean you're not seeing almost anything that's 117 00:09:31,879 --> 00:09:37,559 giving Virginia fans hope right now. I mean they really look like a very, 118 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:41,559 very bad football team. I mean there's still a lot of season left. 119 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,679 Things could change and they could start, you know, definitely playing better. 120 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,399 But I think if you go back to last year, they've lost nine 121 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,480 of their last ten games and been uncompetitive and most of them, a lot 122 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,360 of them, they're really they're in a really bad shape right now. So 123 00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:03,240 you look at Ginia Tech, Virginia and Pittsburgh, I think that really makes 124 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:09,240 up you're you're disappointing teams of the week. Definitely, definitely. I'll tell 125 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,120 you, Jeff I was really impressed with Duke this week. I think that 126 00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:20,559 Duke has a real opportunity to make some unexpected noise this year in the in 127 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:28,000 the in the acc and do and do quite well. No, I agree 128 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,679 with you, Matthew, Duke's not messing around. I mean, I know 129 00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,679 Northwestern's not very good, but they already have the win over over Clemson. 130 00:10:37,039 --> 00:10:39,919 I mean, and they're they're just mowing down opponents right now. And uh, 131 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,320 you know, we'll get into who looking ahead next week, but I 132 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:50,879 mean they could very well be four and oh when Notre Dame comes to Durham. 133 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:56,000 They're playing Connecticut. I mean, they have a really great shot at 134 00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,960 at four and oh and taking on Notre Dame and Sam Hartman and man, 135 00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:01,960 what a great quarterback matchup that would be. You know, they got to 136 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,799 get through Connecticut. But you know, Duke just took care of business, 137 00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,639 and so did North Carolina. I think a lot of people expected them to 138 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:16,000 have a more competitive game with a decent Minnesota team, especially coming off the 139 00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:20,120 app State game where you thought, oh, maybe their defense is not quite 140 00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:24,480 as good as we thought what it showed against South Carolina. You know who, 141 00:11:24,519 --> 00:11:28,679 by the way, really gave Georgia a tussle in Athens, and that 142 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,600 was a team North Carolina like plastered. I mean they plastered South Carolina. 143 00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:39,559 So North North Carolina, you know, winning thirty one thirteen over Minnesota really 144 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,399 impressive. There were a lot of nice performances in the ACC. And this 145 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,840 is a little bit different than the last few years where sometimes we were kind 146 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:52,559 of you know, searching for okay, which team looks good. But I 147 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:58,039 mean this has been a really credible, respectable season for the ACC. Syracuse 148 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,039 goes on the road to Purdue and I mean their defense is just taking care 149 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,799 of business right now. Thirty five twenty at Purdue, and you know, 150 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,840 I think we can move from you know wondering is Syracuse, you know, 151 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,759 got something working there. After they you know, badly beat a couple of 152 00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:20,120 overmatched opponents. I mean, you know, I'm not saying Perdue is some 153 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,480 great team or anything, but you still, you go on the road against 154 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:28,720 a decent Power five opponent and you come out with a you know, fifteen 155 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:31,200 point win, You're doing something right. And we have to pay attention to 156 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:39,639 Syracuse. So all Syracuse, Duke, North Carolina all took care of business. 157 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:45,639 Louisville taking on Indiana, They came out of the gate so fast on 158 00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:48,320 that one twenty one zero in Indiana. I thought they were going to blow 159 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,519 out the Hoosiers. Got got a little bit tighter there, but they had 160 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:58,360 a tremendous goal line stand against the Hoosiers. You know, to you know, 161 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,159 get another win over the Big ten for an ACC team, And I 162 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,000 think Louisville is a team that, you know, shows flashes of being really 163 00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,200 good. We're still waiting for them to put a sixty minute game together, 164 00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:18,679 but they've shown flashes. So another strong week for the ACC out of conference 165 00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:26,879 definitely, definitely, Jeff, Which ACC football football game are you looking forward 166 00:13:26,919 --> 00:13:33,240 to next in week four? Right? Right? Well there, you know, 167 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:39,200 there's a little game going on at Clemson, uh next week at high 168 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:46,879 noon. That's definitely the highlight of the weekend in the ACC. Florida State 169 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:54,360 coming off a game that they survived against Boston College, and you mentioned it, 170 00:13:54,519 --> 00:14:05,120 Matthew, Florida State. They were on the ropes. Quarterback for Boston 171 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,799 College castin Llanos. He shredded up the Florida State secondary and I think, 172 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:15,440 if we're being honest, Florida State is a fantastic football team with a great 173 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:20,840 quarterback, Jordan Travis Coleman at wide receiver. They got some individually really talented 174 00:14:20,879 --> 00:14:28,159 players on defense, but that secondary is a glaring hole on the Seminoles defense. 175 00:14:28,879 --> 00:14:33,799 They got torched up pretty good by LSU in the opening game. Boston 176 00:14:33,879 --> 00:14:37,879 College did the same through the air, and Clemson, you know, looked 177 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:41,159 looked pretty good against Florida Atlantic. But I mean, we're gonna get a 178 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,159 big step up in competition obviously. For Clemson, you know, they've had 179 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,159 basically two weeks to kind of clean up a lot of the mess that they 180 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,000 had going on in the do game, and they can really get their season 181 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,639 back on track if they could take care of the Knowles. But I don't 182 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:03,840 know if Clay Club and the Clemson offense and those wide receivers can take advantage 183 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,639 of where Florida State is weak at in the secondary. I'm not sure if 184 00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,799 Clemson has enough of a passing offense. We're going to find out. But 185 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,679 you know, a loss for Florida State doesn't It doesn't take them out of 186 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,639 anything. All it does is give them a loss. They already have the 187 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:26,480 non conference win over LSU. They're going to have other opportunities. Uh, 188 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:33,360 this year to pick up you know, ranked ranked, ranked wins. They 189 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:39,000 obviously are going to still play Miami for example, they got to play Duke. 190 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840 They'll they'll play Florida, who just beat Tennessee. So you know, 191 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,200 for for Florida State, it's not a must win situation. For Clemson, 192 00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,600 it's it's must win. They have to win this game if they want any 193 00:15:54,679 --> 00:16:00,000 chance to to get into the playoffs. I think they have to win it 194 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,679 to get into the ACC Championship, to the ACC you know, get to 195 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:07,799 Charlotte. I mean, with two losses, they still have a slim chance, 196 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:11,720 but I mean, really they're they're going to be behind the eight ball. 197 00:16:11,759 --> 00:16:17,120 So I think Clemson's in a in a must win situation and you know, 198 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,919 we'll see how that one goes. But huge game there at Clemson. 199 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,480 As far as other games that caught my eye, I'm really curious to see 200 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,799 North Carolina in Pittsburgh. Earlier in the year, I thought this was going 201 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:33,080 to be a huge game, but now this is pretty much looking like, 202 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,440 you know, can North Carolina, you know, take the take the show 203 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:45,600 on the road against a Pittsburgh team that's that is absolutely reeling. You know, 204 00:16:45,639 --> 00:16:48,080 North Carolina, their last two games have been at home, and they 205 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,360 played a neutral shy game against South Carolina that was in Charlotte. So I'll 206 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,799 be curious to see how North Carolina can can take the game on the on 207 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:02,639 the road. Now, probably not high as high as stakes going on, 208 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:06,039 but I think Georgia Tech and Wake Forest could turn out to be a really 209 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:12,319 entertaining shootout. Neither one of them are that impressive defensive teams, but those 210 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:18,000 are We've known Wake Forest to be pretty good on offense, and Georgia Tech 211 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,079 is surprisingly has one of the best offenses in the ACC. Haynes King has 212 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,839 been really good at quarterback. You know, they moved the ball on Old 213 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,440 Miss in that game. It was twenty four seventeen with about seven or eight 214 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,279 minutes left in that game before the defense gave out. And I don't think 215 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,559 Georgia Tech has much of a defense, so that one could be a lot 216 00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:42,759 of fireworks in that one going back and forth. That could be a very 217 00:17:42,839 --> 00:17:47,759 entertaining game. You covered that all well, So we're going to go to 218 00:17:47,759 --> 00:17:51,599 the next question, Jeff, and I think I'll start out this team this 219 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,519 with this question. Here, which ACC team could be upset in Week four? 220 00:17:55,559 --> 00:17:57,400 If they're looking ahead to a game on their schedule, or if there 221 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:03,720 are otherwise just sleeping on the field. Jeff, I can tell you I 222 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,279 have my candidate and I don't care if it's at Syracuse. I think Army 223 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,240 can possibly go up there and pull a stunner at Syracuse. Jeff. These 224 00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:17,319 folks at Army, they're good football players. They're disciplined. These people are 225 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,240 in the military. They're not going to be intimidated by any of the noise, 226 00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:23,279 noise in the in the in the in Syracuse is Dome up there. 227 00:18:23,279 --> 00:18:27,000 They're going to play discipline football. They're not going to beat themselves, and 228 00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:34,400 that game's going to the fourth quarter. Jeff, can you hear me? 229 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:40,039 Yeah, yeah, definitely. Matthew No, I agree with you. You 230 00:18:40,079 --> 00:18:45,559 know, Syracuse we talked about them having their good performance at Purdue. You 231 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,440 come back the next week, you have if you have a little bit of 232 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:56,759 a letdown and you're playing one of the academies, you better be ready because 233 00:18:56,799 --> 00:19:00,400 they're not likely to be the team that's going to make a ton of mistakes. 234 00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:03,599 So yeah, I agree, Syracuse needs needs to pay attention to that. 235 00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:10,519 Now, what about Miami at Temple? What do you think about that, 236 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,799 Jeff, what do you think is going to happen there? I mean, 237 00:19:12,039 --> 00:19:18,799 each each time we think Miami's ready and that they're back, something happens. 238 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:23,559 Temple's not. Not not exactly a roll over either. Yeah, this 239 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:32,119 Miami team feels different. I mean they I feel like the level that that 240 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,640 Van Dyke is playing at quarterback and the way that offense is humming right now. 241 00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:42,599 You know, you never want to look look past for other opponents, 242 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,920 but I feel like, you know, Miami, that that's a game that 243 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,720 they shouldn't over look if they are who they I think that they are, 244 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:57,440 and I think this Miami team, you know, I'm not saying they're back 245 00:19:57,519 --> 00:20:02,599 or anything, but I think they're good enough to handle a team like Temple 246 00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:04,640 and lose. If they were to lose to them, that would be a 247 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:11,960 real setback for where I think they're at. You know, obviously we talked 248 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:17,799 about Florida State and Clemson plenty. Florida State's going into that game favored, 249 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,599 and certainly it's not out of the question to see Clemson. You know, 250 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:29,440 Clemson win that game, and you know already talked about North Carolina going on 251 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:34,559 the road and seeing if they can take care of business at Pittsburgh. Definitely, 252 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:41,559 definitely, said Jeff. Step out of the acc here for me. 253 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:47,079 I mean, we're gonna go to a national college football scene. You can 254 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,039 pick any game you want, schedule other schedule next week. You've getting Power 255 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,200 five, you could go with it with a non power five. You can 256 00:20:53,279 --> 00:20:59,720 even have an FCS matchup here. I'm curious what games on the national scene 257 00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,440 are you looking at next week, Jeff and college football the four US years. 258 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:04,839 I may have a few. I may have a few of my own, 259 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:10,720 but we'll give you first shot here at this question. Jeff. Yeah, 260 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,880 next next week is going to be a fantastic week of college football with 261 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,000 some just tremendous matchups. So I know you've got your eye on on a 262 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:22,559 few of a Matthew, So I'm just going to hit on a couple that 263 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:32,240 caught my eye. I'm I'm looking at Ohio State in Notre Dame. I 264 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,519 feel this is a Notre Dame team at home. I think they can beat 265 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:42,240 Ohio State. Sam Hartman, you know, he's given them a dimension that 266 00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,880 they just haven't had the last few years through the air, and I think 267 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:52,680 Ohio State is still kind of searching a little bit offensively, and that that's 268 00:21:52,720 --> 00:22:00,400 a huge, huge game. You know, Notre Dame could you know, 269 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,880 really thrust themselves into the middle of the playoff chase if they were to win 270 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:10,960 that game. I'm just looking here at this, you know, tremendous schedule. 271 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:15,000 You've got Oregon and Colorado. I'm namely kind of interested in that because 272 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,920 I think that's gonna be the first truly strong opponent. I know, Colorado 273 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,920 beat TCU in a shootout, but I mean that's not the team. They 274 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,000 weren't the team they were last year. And you know, I want to 275 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,799 see what Oregon can do with Colorado, who can put up a lot of 276 00:22:30,799 --> 00:22:34,160 points, but they're you know, not very good defensively. And and see 277 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,599 if that that primetime you know hype train keeps going, it just even gets 278 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,920 bigger, or if Oregon puts a puts a hold to it. And then 279 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,160 the other game, the last one I'm going to hit on before you get 280 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:52,160 into yours. Matthew is is all miss and Alabama? Oh okay, all 281 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,480 right, I'll stop. I'm gonna stop right there. I'm gonna stop right 282 00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:57,880 there. You go ahead. Well, I'm with with this game. This 283 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:06,559 one's intriguing because because this is probably the worst Alabama team since Nix Haban's inaugural 284 00:23:07,079 --> 00:23:11,480 first season at Alabama. Their ranked thirteenth, but they probably should be ranked 285 00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:18,920 like twenty third or unranked. If anyone saw the South Florida game with Alabama, 286 00:23:18,599 --> 00:23:22,640 they looked every bit of a mess on offense at quarterback as Pittsburgh does. 287 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,039 I mean they were a complete train wreck trying to move on the ball 288 00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:32,680 on South Florida. I mean they got bailed out by a defense that made 289 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,839 a few plays and you know that game was ten three deep into the second 290 00:23:36,839 --> 00:23:41,920 half. Alabama, they're not a good football team. We had to be 291 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,400 honest. They have not looked like a good football team. They haven't played 292 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,039 like a good football team and an Old Miss. If that game was in 293 00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:53,200 Mississippi, I would almost be calling that one a lock for Old Miss to 294 00:23:53,240 --> 00:24:00,440 win. Maybe Alabama gets inspired playing back in Tuscaloosa, but I mean Ole 295 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,200 Miss. I saw them play some play them in Georgia Tech this weekend. 296 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,319 And Okay, obviously Alabama's gonna be tougher on defense, but Ole Miss has 297 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:14,000 some offensive weapons that can stretch that Alabama defense, and they obviously are gonna 298 00:24:14,039 --> 00:24:18,720 have a huge advantage at quarterback. A loss for Alabama basically, you know, 299 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,759 ends any chance of them to make the playoffs. So I'm I'm intrigued 300 00:24:22,799 --> 00:24:26,200 by that game. I mean, it's interesting because I was looking at ole 301 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:30,359 miss As schedule, Like if they were to get past to Alabama, which 302 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:36,920 I actually think they can, then they've got LSU right that's at home, 303 00:24:37,599 --> 00:24:41,000 and then they got then they've got Arkansas at home, they go to go 304 00:24:41,079 --> 00:24:45,119 to Auburn, They've got Vanderbilt at home, they got Texas A and m 305 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:51,440 hut home, and then on Veterans Day weekend they have they go to Georgia. 306 00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:53,480 So I mean, they've got a tough road, you know, to 307 00:24:53,559 --> 00:24:59,000 get to get to the to get there, but you know it would I 308 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,720 mean, we're early, lots of things can happen, Jeff, Mississippi has 309 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:08,240 a chance to get to the College Football Playoff if they play their cards right. 310 00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:14,079 But it's way early, you know, and I don't necessarily think they 311 00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:17,240 can be Georgia. You know, that would take a miracle probably for them 312 00:25:17,279 --> 00:25:19,440 to go in there and going there and beat Georgia. But it would be 313 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,200 nice to see somebody like that upset Georgia because I actually think like somebody like 314 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,880 a Florida State, we could go in there, would go in there and 315 00:25:30,319 --> 00:25:37,400 knock off Mississippi. Jeff, Yeah, And I think if there's a year 316 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:44,000 for a deep dark horse in the SEC to make a run like on Old 317 00:25:44,039 --> 00:25:47,519 Miss, this would be the year. Uh. You know, we saw 318 00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:51,519 Georgia this weekend against South Carolina did not look good. They didn't. They 319 00:25:51,839 --> 00:25:55,599 had struggle moving the ball. They were down fourteen to three and a half. 320 00:25:56,799 --> 00:26:00,880 We know Alabama's down, Tennessee's down, LSU's down. I mean, 321 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,279 the entire conferences is pretty lack luster. There's an opportunity for an Old Miss 322 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,279 to take advantage of that and and maybe you know, win the SEC. 323 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,240 It's definitely not out of the question. I'm with you. I'm with you, 324 00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:19,119 so, Jeff. The only thing I wanted to add here on the 325 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:25,839 games how many PAC twelve teams are in the rankings. I mean, this 326 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:33,279 is basically this is a conference that is dead after this year and maybe having 327 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,240 one of the best football seasons that the conference has had in quite some time. 328 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:41,599 Would you would you agree with that? Jeff? Yeah, I definitely 329 00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:45,759 agree with you. Matthew I think the PAC twelve is the best conference in 330 00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:51,599 the country this year, and it's it's a real shame that they work towards 331 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:56,559 this season and it's coming to fruition as being, you know, the best 332 00:26:56,599 --> 00:27:02,799 top to bottom league, very entertaining, great players, great quarterback play teams 333 00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:07,400 in playoff contention. You know, they've already picked up some noteworthy out of 334 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,759 conference wins, and then this will be the end of it. You know, 335 00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:14,119 if that's like a mini rant for me, it's a shame that it 336 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,759 came to this, because the PAC twelve is a lot of fun to watch. 337 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,680 I have in twenty twenty three. I have my highstmand favorite right now 338 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:30,680 and he's playing quarterback for the University of Washington. Jeff, I like it. 339 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,480 I thought you were gonna say Caleb Williams a USC, but no, 340 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,519 no, I'm going with I'm going with the hust I'm going with the Huskies 341 00:27:37,599 --> 00:27:41,519 quarter I'm going with the Huskies quarterback. I I it will be must watch 342 00:27:41,839 --> 00:27:47,079 TV when we see USC and Washington play, Jeff, I will be making 343 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,640 time to watch that game. That will be fun and I look forward and 344 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:56,039 I look I very much look forward to that because it's good. That's that's 345 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,279 you know, that's gonna be a matchup, like like a matchup like we 346 00:27:59,319 --> 00:28:03,319 saw several you know, several years several years ago when both of those teams, 347 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,440 when when Washington used to go in and steal all the talent from from 348 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:14,279 California and then they tried and then the Californians were getting upset that Washington was 349 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,880 going in Washington was going in there and taking all taking all the players when 350 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,400 they play in the when they play in the PAC twelve title game, Jeff, 351 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,359 everybody's going to be watching that because I'm called I'm calling you. Hear 352 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,359 me calling it today, Jeff, that's the one I'm calling today. USC 353 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,279 and Washington will be playing in the PAC twelve title game and I can't wait 354 00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:40,400 for it. So Jeff, let's get into it. Man. I mean, 355 00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:42,319 have you been, Jeff, have you been to a football tailgate yet 356 00:28:42,359 --> 00:28:51,799 this year? I actually I've been to a couple of games this year, 357 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,920 but I have not actually tailgated this year. I've been doing my eating like 358 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:03,799 before the games, like somewhere around the stadiums or are on site, so 359 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,680 you don't go. You haven't made any tailgates this year. I have not. 360 00:29:10,039 --> 00:29:14,359 I have not actually had like a tailgate. I've met people there, 361 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,640 we've we've talked before the game, but like actually sitting down and like tailgating 362 00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:22,319 outside, I have not done that yet. Okay, so wouldn't you do? 363 00:29:22,519 --> 00:29:27,039 Jeff? What is your what is your your snack of choice, your 364 00:29:27,079 --> 00:29:33,759 food of joyce, your meal of joyce? At a tip, it was 365 00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:38,440 always like two things that we would we would pick up or if we were 366 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,119 with some friends that they would pick up. It was either like the Chick 367 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:52,599 fil A nugget platter or a bunch of the chicken from Bojangles. Those those 368 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,920 were like the two choices that would come up when we were if we were 369 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,079 to tailgate, it was either one or the I would say, the Chick 370 00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:07,960 fil A or the boat Angles. Outstanding choices. Outstanding choices. Now, 371 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,519 I'll tell you the tailgating at Virginia Attack is pretty it is pretty ridiculous because 372 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:19,720 they're pretty friendly. They will invite opposing fans to their tailgates. In fact, 373 00:30:21,039 --> 00:30:23,839 I had some friends from NC state, actually some you know, some 374 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,440 folks that have some folks from some folks from NC state. Twitter went to 375 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:33,599 some of the tailgates in Blacksburg, and they came away full. And the 376 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:40,480 people there are so friendly that if you actually bring your if you actually bring 377 00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,240 your meat, your meat that you want cooked, somebody will cook it for 378 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:48,759 you. And I usually bring I'm probably gonna sound like a snob when i 379 00:30:48,799 --> 00:30:52,880 say this, but I actually bring like bison or something like that from one 380 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:59,359 of the local one of the local distributors that are farms that's actually close by 381 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,240 there, and I'll have it at my uncle's and then somebody will cook it 382 00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:07,079 for me at one of the tailgates. And I'm telling you, man, 383 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:14,720 I don't Jeff, have you had bison before? I have not. I'm 384 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,000 well, no, I may have tried it at a restaurant before. If 385 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:22,720 I have, it's only been like maybe one. I don't eat Hamburger anymore, 386 00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:26,960 Jeff. I quit eating Hamburger. And I have like bison or something, 387 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,720 you know, or I'll have like deer, or I'll have like elk, 388 00:31:32,039 --> 00:31:34,799 you know, something that's really lean right, that goes through your system 389 00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:41,559 really quickly, and it's just incredible. And that is my that really is 390 00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:45,039 my choice a choice of of of what I have, either a burger or 391 00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:51,119 I'll throw that into chili or something like that at a tailgate because I know 392 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,160 it's good. I know it's gonna be good. I know it's going to 393 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,440 be consistent, I know it's gonna be lean, I know it's gonna be 394 00:31:55,519 --> 00:31:56,880 healthy, and I know I'll get full from it, you know, and 395 00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,640 so you know, I I mean, that's those are some of the things 396 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,279 that I have. I know, I've had friends who actually make these pizza 397 00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:07,200 buns which are kind of kind of fun. Like whenever I go to a 398 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,759 tailgate and Blacksburg, I think I come back like three pounds heavier after the 399 00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:15,960 week after the weekend because I've been eating so much and the food is so 400 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,279 good and people are so friendly there and anyway, it's but you have given 401 00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:23,960 some good choices too. I mean, I know people who have brought like 402 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:29,160 the bowch Angles or they bring the bowch Angles tailgate package, or they bring 403 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,559 the Chick fil A nugget package or that sort that sort of thing, and 404 00:32:31,599 --> 00:32:37,759 it just those are excellent choices for tailgate. For tailgates is what for tailgates 405 00:32:37,759 --> 00:32:40,599 as well. So I look forward. I look forward to heading down this 406 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,799 year to have fun. Jeff Open microphone time, what do you got for 407 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:54,240 us. Well, it's it's amazing to see we're already three weeks into the 408 00:32:54,319 --> 00:33:00,440 season and you know, we talked about the back Pack twelve being as deep 409 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:06,599 as they are, but also the ACC you know, has to be considered 410 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,160 one of the better football conferences this year. And that that's I mean, 411 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,319 that's good for the league. It builds, it's good for the narrative, 412 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,680 you know, to have you know, the league deeper than just Clemson or 413 00:33:20,079 --> 00:33:24,359 you know, Justice Florida. Stay. This league is nine or ten teams 414 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:30,720 of quality teams deep. By any poll that's out there, there's four five 415 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:38,240 ranked teams. Half the league is undefeated. It's it's a very respectable eight 416 00:33:38,279 --> 00:33:44,519 and seven against the rest of the Power five and eight and five against the 417 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,480 SEC and Big Ten, who you know, we keep hearing are the best 418 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:52,039 football conferences in all the land. But you know, results speak for themselves 419 00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:57,640 and and right now the AEC has a winning record against those two leagues. 420 00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:01,039 You know, the other two losses too, are coming from Pittsburgh against the 421 00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:05,920 Big twelve, and you know, that's one of the bottom teams in the 422 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,039 in the league this year. But when you look at it across the whole. 423 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:14,880 And we know Florida State extremely good potential playoff team. Clemson it's not 424 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,840 going to fall off the you know, they're not falling off the map. 425 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,280 They might not be, you know, as good as they were during that 426 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,800 dynastic run from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty, but there's still a good football 427 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,760 program. But then you look at the rest of the league of teams that 428 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:37,800 have improved, Duke North, Carolina, Louisville, Miami, Syracuse all have 429 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,960 taken care of business, you know, out of conference and have looked good, 430 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:46,119 look good doing it. And let me just make sure if I let 431 00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:50,199 me take a quick look at the standings, make sure I didn't leave you 432 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,280 know, one of those teams out. Okay, yeah, I did Wake 433 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,920 Forrest three and zero, and you know they went on and played a really 434 00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,519 tricky game this weekend at Old Dominion, got down and made a comeback, 435 00:35:02,559 --> 00:35:07,519 and they also have a win over Vanderbilt. You know, I'm not sure 436 00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:10,239 if I really would have Wake Forest in the class of you know, the 437 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,159 top three or four teams in the ACC. But you know, they're taking 438 00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,480 care of they're taking care of business. And we've seen Old Dominion knockoff plenty 439 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:23,280 of ACC teams in the recent past. So I mean, you know, 440 00:35:23,679 --> 00:35:29,519 you go past that, NC State only has one loss to Notre Dame, 441 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:37,079 and you know we see Boston College, who many thought might have been one 442 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:39,480 of the two worst teams. You know, take Florida State to the final 443 00:35:39,519 --> 00:35:44,440 minute of that game. You know, Georgia Tech, considered probably one of 444 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,039 the bottom teams in the ACC. You know, gets to the fourth quarter, 445 00:35:47,119 --> 00:35:52,119 just one don't score down at Old Miss. This is as deep as 446 00:35:52,119 --> 00:35:55,920 the league has been since twenty sixteen, and in my opinion, and the 447 00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,199 best that it's that it's been since at least that time. So you know, 448 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,039 they've gotten through most of the non conference. They're still going to be 449 00:36:05,519 --> 00:36:09,199 you know, opportunities against Notre Dame and then the end of the year games 450 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:14,519 with some of the SEC rivals, but most of the out of conference games 451 00:36:14,519 --> 00:36:19,039 have been played already. And the ACC, you know, as opposed, 452 00:36:19,519 --> 00:36:22,559 we saw the signs trending in the right direction last year, but previous too 453 00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:28,320 that you know, we've seen in the ACC continue moving in the right direction 454 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:32,239 with their football. So really positive start to this year. It's going to 455 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:37,400 be a really fun season with a lot of great matchups. Okay, so 456 00:36:37,559 --> 00:36:40,000 yeah, from my open microphone, I'm going to read you a tweet from 457 00:36:40,039 --> 00:36:45,960 our friend Andrew Alex, who was once the co host of Paul Van Wagner 458 00:36:45,119 --> 00:36:49,039 the ESPN Radio. You know that I've been on for the show that I've 459 00:36:49,079 --> 00:36:52,119 been on his show for before. Is is you know, representing our site 460 00:36:52,119 --> 00:36:57,639 and he's been on this podcast before. Andrew Alex said in a in a 461 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:05,480 tweets yesterday around four thirty, he said, some of you I can't some 462 00:37:05,559 --> 00:37:09,280 of you, oh justin foote and apology. And he put this out in 463 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:14,639 the tweet, and I mentioned that I was going to read some of the 464 00:37:14,679 --> 00:37:17,920 responses to his tweet, and I'm gonna try and keep it cleaning, Jeff, 465 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,440 I'm gonna read some of the responses to his tweet during this segment because 466 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:28,239 I wanted to make sure that you had the full the full response from Hokey 467 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,599 Nation. From that, I'm kind of chuckling a little bit. Our friend 468 00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:34,639 Mark Hokey, right, you know, Hockey Mark, he's been out here 469 00:37:34,679 --> 00:37:38,039 before. We work with him all the time. He says for running off 470 00:37:38,039 --> 00:37:43,280 all the talented players. That was one of his responses to the tweet, 471 00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:49,559 Natalie says, in what world? Rich Aroorra says, that's cute. I'm 472 00:37:49,599 --> 00:37:52,760 not going to read Polly's response because that was kind of that was okay. 473 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,599 He started cussing him out. And then somebody says, you know, I 474 00:37:55,599 --> 00:37:59,679 have a feeling he was checking his bank account and smiling the last two weeks. 475 00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,480 I greet he's a much better coach than he's given for at I'm like 476 00:38:02,519 --> 00:38:07,559 what? And then somebody said that. Then it says the talent deplation is 477 00:38:07,559 --> 00:38:10,599 Flente's fault. He had he recruited right, we wouldn't have to depend on 478 00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:17,239 all transfers. And then Patrick Crow says, wtf Cardlson two? And then 479 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,760 let's see who else here. Here's another one for what. Somebody says he's 480 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:28,360 a large part of the reason where the position we are today. Somebody says 481 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,519 no. Somebody says no, just no. Somebody says, for what exactly 482 00:38:31,559 --> 00:38:36,079 the give you guys so utterly devoid of talent that we can't even beat Rutgers. 483 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:40,280 Then somebody says, huh, what if we let Korn go after the 484 00:38:42,119 --> 00:38:46,639 Steen or twentieth season? And then somebody says, no, no, we 485 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:52,880 don't Flente point us in this in this mess. Then somebody says he's the 486 00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,360 reason where we are. And I could go through and read these and They've 487 00:38:55,360 --> 00:39:00,320 got gifts and things like that, and I'm like, oh my gosh. 488 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,000 I just kept going through the through the responses Jeff, and I'm like, 489 00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:06,880 I've got to read some of these things. I got to read some of 490 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,760 these things on air. So I enjoyed it and it was fun to read 491 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,000 through that and I did chuckle rating through all the gifts and things like that. 492 00:39:15,639 --> 00:39:20,159 Jeff. Thanks, thank you for having a good time this week during 493 00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:24,079 our four hundred and seventieth podcast of the All Sports Discussion ACC podcast.
