Speaker 1: I'll start to you want to present off the bench
with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, off.
Speaker 1: The bench with Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Come off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now here's Jacob Hester and T bob Abert.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people in the chat right now
talking about needing to sacrifice Omar and pardon Joe Exotic
to get l s U back to the back to
the Golden Man.
Speaker 3: I prompts.
Speaker 2: I would say this. I don't know about partying Joe Exotic.
I don't think he has a great case. I don't
think sexually abusing young boys with the aid of meth
is a particularly.
Speaker 3: Like what's this case?
Speaker 2: What did you do well for society that he should
be pardoned? All give us a lot of entertainment during
the pandemic, I suppose. So I don't think that should happen.
And I think if you want to sacrifice some more,
I think you're missing mark. Omar needs to be set free,
all right. He needs to be healthily rehabilitated, whatever and
whatever process that they have, which I don't know if
domesticated tiger can get set free, if there's like a
reintroduction process. But yes, like Omar needs to be free
if you want to fully erase the bad juju. The
nightmare is when he reaches that age where tigers no
longer become or are no longer profitable, and then they,
you know, the darkest future is they take him out
for parts, which I hope that's well, I hope that's
not true.
Speaker 3: I know I went dark. I know.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see when Omar is eighteen months old or whenever.
Speaker 3: I can't remember what the exact cutoff is.
Speaker 2: Let's let's just let's like check back in and make
sure we will fight for Omar. It's not Omar's fault. Yeah, okay,
JV's Maybe JV s you're right, sacrifice Joe Exotic, right,
because really that would probably be a boom to all
of tiger kind. He's called himself the Tiger King. Nothing
could be further from the truth. Uh yeah, maybe you
sacrifice Joe Exotic instead. That's a good idea, JP. All right,
So coming up this hour, we're gonna talk a lot
of playoff, a lot of college football, as I mean,
just today, guys, you get Oklahoma Navy and the Lockheed
Martin Armed Forces Bowl, can't wait for Lockheed Martin to
employ their own drones to take out Oklahoma players and
help one of their biggest contractors in Navy.
Speaker 4: There does that put a lot of pressure on Navy,
like you can't lose the Armed Forces Bowl Forces to
a non armed forces like team.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why you can't.
Speaker 2: But they are playing with house money to say the least,
because they beat army. Yeah yeah, yeah matters, and they
beat the hell up out of a AAC champ or
excuse me, well not to wait, yes, yeah, AAC champion Army.
So yeah, that is true. The Navy season has already
been made, but fully healthy Blake Corvath and Oklahoma without
Jackson Arnold, this could get bad for Oklahoma. Man, this
could be a bad end to a bad year. So
you got that today, My guy Aaron Murray will be
on the Birmingham Bowl call.
Speaker 3: How about this little Georgia Tech fors Vanderbilt.
Speaker 2: That's one of the best, great and appropriately matched game. Here,
two very ball controlle teams Haynes King, Diego Pavia, two
of the fan favorites from this season. Unfortunately, you know
Eric Singleton Junior in this game, as he is now
going to Auburn. But like we said all year, Georgia
Tech has like five of those old, tiny, little fast guys.
This is also, guys, one of the proxy wars that
SEC fans will will use to evaluate whether they're right
or not.
Speaker 3: You know me, I hate the SEC.
Speaker 2: I don't think the conference is that much better as
people want to make it out to be. But there's
a few games which will either potentially prove me wrong
or prove me correct. And I think this would be
one of the main ones because these two teams feel
kind of equal to one another in terms of these
space that they occupied in their respective conferences this year.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they both had massive wins. Vange beat Alabama, Georgia
Tech beat Miami. Well, should have beat Georgia to you know, should.
Speaker 2: Have beaten I mean there's a lot of games actually
that you know kind of both these teams.
Speaker 3: Vanderbut had Texas.
Speaker 5: I mean there was a moment in that game, yeah
that maybe they get that victory in Nashville. So now
this is a great Bowl game. This is two teams
that are going to fight like hell. These are two
teams that you know, have a lot of the same
pieces that they had in the regular season. Sure, they
had some guys leaving the portal and go elsewhere, But
I mean, Diego Pavia gets another year. You know he's
gonna be fired up to play in this game. Yeah,
but he's okay, so he's back as well. Yeah, he'll
be back. This is the all grit quarterback ball here.
Speaker 2: So you want a funny yes, yeah, these two quarterbacks
put their bodies on the line this season. Like by
the end of the year, both of them were demolished.
Haines King. If this was in Cuaa in that Georgia game,
his graphic would have been just straight red. The wear
and tear grig just would have been deep deep red
ahead to tow. But both have now had a few
weeks to get healthy, and I think that's gonna be critical.
You wanna hear a little funny behind the scenes production story,
so you know how the people on the call, you
meet with the coaches, Well, Brent Key, Georgia Tech's head coach,
of course, Georgia Tech graduate, who has stated, like he's
been very upfront, like he hates Georgia.
Speaker 5: He actually said he hates Georgia more than anything else
in his life, which.
Speaker 3: Bums me out. Because I don't know when the next
time Tech will.
Speaker 2: Have them like they had them this year, but it's
gonna that game will potentially haunt it for the rest
of his life.
Speaker 3: And I know, I know, look, I know, ye wasn't
that crazy. I know all of that. I know all
of that.
Speaker 5: I'm just hadn't been that long since Tech kind of
you know, had that series. It's been decades, okay exactly,
but when we're talking college football terms, like, there's some
rivalries out there that have been like forever.
Speaker 2: I hope so, I hope so for Key because he
hates George with the burd passion. He apparently alphad and
Uh intimidated Aaron Murray during the meeting, and the first
question Aaron asked something about like the Georgia game or something.
He was like, oh, really, Murray, you're going to bring
up the game, and then he just started staring at him,
and he said the whole meeting, he was just staring
at him, making eye contact to the point where Aaron
was breaking eye contact and turned into his sideline reported
to be like, Hey.
Speaker 3: Taylor, do you have a question.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Britt Key, bringing his Georgia hate
into the production meetings for the Birmingham Bull putting Murray.
Speaker 3: I'm the defensive Hey, Tyler ask ques.
Speaker 2: Air. We were talking about last night. He said he
broke eye contact with Key. That's how tense it was.
Speaker 3: Uh you catch it on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the AutoZone Liberty Ball Day. Texas Tech Arkansas. I'm
not counting this as a great proxy war because Texas
Tech was way better in the Big Twelve than Arkansas
was in the SEC and Arkansas lost.
Speaker 3: Everybody.
Speaker 2: Oh, missus farm Darkansas, like like Arkansas's entire roster just
got farmed out by the rest of college football.
Speaker 3: I can't wait to see.
Speaker 5: The interaction between Sam Pittman and Lane Kiff and down
in destin here in a couple of months.
Speaker 3: Uh really Lane, Oh yeah, I took care everybody. Yeah, yeah, yink.
Speaker 2: Sam Pittman will be there, I guess so right. Otherwise
you would have already done something.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, hope, yeah, yeah yeah, because if you did
it now, you'd be Yeah, that's everybody would have a
thirty day window to enter the portal.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One game that should be better than it is going
to be would be excuse Washington State, but unfortunately Wazoo
losing a lot of their players that led to their
great season as well. So yeah that that probably their coach.
Yeah yeah, yeah, so that's probably whatever.
Speaker 3: But bets Syracuse.
Speaker 2: How about this in terms of a proxy war tex
A and M versus USC. Now, maybe we should have
cout this pure proxy war because again, USC seems like
they're in a god awful spot right now compared to
A and M from their own defections and whatnot. But
still two big brands battling once again in Las Vegas,
USC back against an SEC team at nine to thirty
pm tonight.
Speaker 5: If A and IT loses this game, I mean, shame
on them. Yeah, they should absolutely dominate this game. USC's
you know, got half of what they had coming into
the year. I mean a lot of their team has
already moved on for A and M. I mean they
pretty much have the same squad. Yeah, Like they should
be big favorites in this game. I would be shocked
if this game is close just because of where these
two teams are right now.
Speaker 3: And I mean if you're A and M eight and five,
Oh that looks bad.
Speaker 2: Then you got the Wasabi Finway Ball coming up tomorrow
morning at ten am at Yukon, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: I don't care about that, except I.
Speaker 5: Just wish I'll tear up the infield.
Speaker 3: Yeah, please please don't do that.
Speaker 2: I wish that the winning coach here would just get
pied in the face with wassabi. You know, like if
the Duke's male bowl is gonna cover you in mayonnaise,
if we're gonna have live working pop Tart toasters and
the pop Tart trophy, let's just force the coach to
just just get.
Speaker 3: A face full of was Sabbi after you get the
dumb we got the.
Speaker 2: Bad boy Mower's pinstry ball Boston College, resh Nebraska.
Speaker 3: That's actually, that's not bad. You can tear that infield
up all you want. That'd be at eleven am.
Speaker 2: An hour later, shout out to ul Ul taking on
TCU in New Mexico. He let that New Mexico ball
we have one fifteen. And then in what was a
classic last year and has a very good chance of
being very good again this year, is camp Ward playing.
Speaker 3: Actually I haven't looked that up. I believe that. Yeah
enough where I'm sure that so there's a benefit.
Speaker 2: I know, people seem like they're on a you know whatever,
very opinion about inn IL. It does force a lot
of guys to play in the bowl game, which is
which has been nice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it certainly does, because I mean that's part of
the part of the contract, like no, no, you're going
to play in this ball game, like we're paying you
for this amount of games.
Speaker 3: That's what you're gonna do.
Speaker 2: Iowa State in Miami, that's a really fun matchup in
Camping World Stadium, best off into the country against the
defense that was really good, but is a bad scheme
for cam Skataboo.
Speaker 3: Remember the Big Twelve Championship.
Speaker 2: They talked about the three times at Scataboo had faced
that style of defense this year, and he had just
absolutely dominated every single one.
Speaker 3: I think Miami will hear as well.
Speaker 2: But you know, I liked what I saw at Old
rock O Becked in that Iowa State team at times,
good toughness by Beck getting basically killed in the Big
Twelve Championship, then come back throwing a touchdout he did.
Speaker 3: I thought at one point he was done. I thought
he was dead.
Speaker 2: Yes, and Gunderstock did the two most dead moments of
the entire year.
Speaker 3: You got the Snoop dogg Arizona Bowl.
Speaker 4: What Yeah, yeah, he's a first year of it.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 3: How about that?
Speaker 2: Just you become so famous that your name is just
a brand?
Speaker 4: Didn't They have the U the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl.
Speaker 3: Like to LA.
Speaker 5: Now it's the something LA Bowl hosted by Gronk. Well,
and I want to.
Speaker 2: Say what the Arizona Bowl was also maybe barstool at
some point, right, so how these things work?
Speaker 3: My mfo. However's Colorado state kind of it? Probably it
was a Colorio state alright.
Speaker 2: This year at one point looked like they were gonna
play for the Mountain West title. They kind of fell off.
Speaker 3: A little bit there.
Speaker 2: Okay, Matgin, I'm probably not gonna watch it. It's on
the CW if you want to, you know, watch all
d Creek into it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: The goat bowling Military Bulber. Once again we remind you
to go bowling. East Carolina versus NC state is now,
I've heard of North Carolina in South Carolina, but wearing
a map is East Carolina.
Speaker 3: Think about that, guys. It's in Greenville, North Carolina, I believe.
Huh that's where it is.
Speaker 4: Huh, which is the eastern part of the state of East.
Speaker 3: Carolina not a state. No, yeah, are you asking that?
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't what it was your Auburn's not
a state? Like what are we getting at here?
Speaker 3: Okay? But why is West Virginia a state?
Speaker 5: Then there's also a Western Carolina team that plays in
the SCS, exactly South Alina.
Speaker 4: There's also Coastal Carolina in South Carolina.
Speaker 3: You think about it, Think about it.
Speaker 2: It's very rare, in fact, perhaps to be singular where
a horizontal direction on the comp is the state in
and of itself.
Speaker 3: You know what we've got northeast South Dakota. You're you're
we got north and South Dakota. We got North and
South Carolina. There's only one West Virginia.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: It's a good point.
Speaker 2: Little geographical food for thought has got an in state
battle of y'all didn't know, but this is actually an
in state battle in Carolina. I had no idea if
it was in northern South Carolina. Classic in state battle
the Pirates and the Wolfpack.
Speaker 3: Baby, I don't know a lot about other teams. I'll
I'll say this one.
Speaker 2: He's Carolina. Said who my little brother plays with in
C double A. And we're now into the American. Right, Yes,
we're not into year three of the dynasty. He's already
won ASS championship. He's won the league I think two
years in a row. Uh. I described him as being
autistically good at the game. I said that I would
never uh so we to open up the season, we
did to play each other. His team's five rating points
better than me in every phase of the ball. I
told my wife as I started up the game, I'm
never going to be boging in my life, and I
don't want to play right now.
Speaker 3: Oh well, boys, what did you know?
Speaker 2: An hour later, unranked top ten upset Air Force Falcons
taken down the East Carolina Pirates sixteen to seven. Jake
didn't allow an offensive touchdown through a pick six in
the first quarter and still shut that ass down four quarters.
I guarantee no. I.
Speaker 3: I got fired.
Speaker 4: He was saying he's a Navy defect and he switched
to Arizona.
Speaker 2: No, no air Force. Yeah, And we kicked Navy out
of the AC and moved air Force.
Speaker 3: You just moved.
Speaker 5: You were so bad, you got fired, and then you
punished Navy because you were so bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to you know, I
had to be in the conference of everybody. But no,
I beat my little brother. I would never I mean,
this is a cat who's been a top one hundred.
Madden played like I would have never expected, my wife.
It was just one of those magical nights where everything
was working and after that pick six, we didn't freak out.
Speaker 3: We won, snapped and cleared and we won. Congratulations big
for you.
Speaker 2: Uh and the Valero Alamobile BYU Colorado. Oh man, they
they found uh, the most white bread team in the
Big twelve and the most spicy team in the Big twelve,
and they're putting him toe to toe. Let's go, dude,
I mean the speed of Colorado versus the fundamentals of BYU. Yeah,
I gotta say I don't like this matchup for BYU.
Speaker 3: Not with everybody playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but still, I mean I do want to throw
some credit to BYU. I mean, they were really good
in the regular season. I would assume that they have
a lot of their same players playing in this game,
you know what I mean. I can't imagine they have
a ton of opt outs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, y you.
Speaker 2: No retzl Off is playing who remember funny fact he's Jewish?
Speaker 3: Yep on the Mormon team how about that unbelievable.
Speaker 2: You have the Radiance Technologies Independence Ball pre eight fifteen's
Bowl out there, law Tech against the AAC Champion's army.
Jare you cheering for your three one eight brethren or
your beloved one of your beloved armed forces teams? You're
in a bit of a You're in a bit of
a pickle here.
Speaker 3: I'm not you just hate law Tech like that. I mean,
I'm not rooting against America.
Speaker 2: Wow. So you just you just want to like celebrate
through one great but then just not rustling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's like that's how you just not in America,
which I mean, oh my god. You hear that? Guys?
Do you hear that?
Speaker 2: Uh? You hear that? Treeport when you listen? Is this
hour in the three to five? Yeah, it has to
be this is the middle hour?
Speaker 3: Right? Good. I'm glad that everybody gets to hear that. Said,
just root for a good game, said ka Tech.
Speaker 4: For one reason only tea what they are. They were
replacing Marshall in this game. Marshall's whole team entered the
portal and Ted got the spot and said, so I
would like to pull the upset.
Speaker 5: I was about to say that dummy, this is my
bull game. It was going to be a conference champion matchup. Yeah,
it was gonna be Sun Belt champion versus American Champion.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But then Marshall's whole team, as Taylor pointed out, was
in the world literal, the whole team couldn't do it right. Basically, yes,
pretty much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was like, what like thirty five
guys something like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jesus.
Speaker 2: Uh. And then on Monday, this is maybe the best
proxy war that we have, the trans Perfect Music City
Bowl Iowa versus Missoo. Well, actually that's not Sorry, that's
not the best one that we have. There's another one,
uh Iowa Miszoo. But this is a very good one. Here.
What did I would finish at here? Because Missoo very respectable?
Speaker 3: What nine and three? I was eight and four? Yeah?
I love this. I mean you have to ask. As always,
I thought it could have been nine and three.
Speaker 2: I thought they could have been nine. I knew they
didn't win ten, but I thought it could have been
ninety three.
Speaker 3: I mean, they live in that territory.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Fine.
Speaker 2: I mean I think Missoo's ninety three was actually impressive,
even though I think their expectations were a bit higher.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, but they looked so bad at.
Speaker 2: Times, and Brady Cook never really was any good. Luther
Burden never.
Speaker 5: Really got still never really got fully healthy after he
got hurt either.
Speaker 2: No, I actually agree with that. I'm right there with you, Tea.
I think their their record was much better than I
thought it was going to end up. Then on Tuesday
you get Alabama Michigan, which I don't know about. This
is a proxy work because Michigan was much worse in
the SEC than excuse me, in the Big Ten than
Alabama was in the SEC. So I feel like Alabama
has an advantage there though everything's coming up Michigan lately.
You got the Tony the tiger Son Bowl, Louisville versus Washington,
and then, uh, this is the ultimate proxy war here
Jakes South Carolina Illinois in the cheese it Citrus Bowl.
Speaker 3: It's a great one here, two.
Speaker 2: Very good nine and three teams, both with great resumes,
everybody playing for both. I believe Altmeyer was one of
the big surprises of the college football season for Illinois
this year. Leonora Sellers just signed a two point seven
million dollar deal.
Speaker 3: All right, let's see it. I like this one.
Speaker 5: You know, I appreciate Bert and Brett Beelam over there
and how they get it done, and it's just, you know,
it's a very gritty style. And they had a really
I mean, they had a really nice season. This is
like now two of three years where they've been really good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Certainly Shane Beemer got the most out of his team.
They had some really difficult losses, including the one to LSU,
the one to Alabama Ole Miss the only game they
get blown out, and they were playing as well as
anybody in the country down the stretch.
Speaker 3: And it's a.
Speaker 5: Team that has done a really nice job of retaining
their players. They've re upped on you know, the quarterback,
edge rushers, and this roster is going to be really
really good and you get them, I don't think, no, Okay,
you're getting them in Tiger Stadium next year, so that's
gonna be one of the big ticket home games. I
still like South Carolina here, I think because of the
momentum that they had, and I think overall roster they're
gonna be a little bit more talented and Sellers is
one of the best quarterbacks in the country coming back.
Speaker 3: I think next year.
Speaker 5: Uh, and maybe though I wish you still had the
rexpecs on, you can actually have really good odds on
him for Heisman.
Speaker 3: I don't think we ever ended up doing that in
the show.
Speaker 2: Not so but up a second, but like Seller's odds
way longer than I thought they would be. Then you
have the Kenders, Texas Bowl, Baylor l Shops. So guys,
we got a great few days coming up. And then
we got the playoffs. Let's talk playoffs next here on
Off the.
Speaker 6: Bench, Off the bench, Welcome back to the ninth ranked
morning sports show in America.
Speaker 2: Off the Bench, Welcome back, O TB. We got the
conchootball playoffs. Roll around along, cause.
Speaker 3: Are you drinking out of the mug? Is that the
mug I got? No, this is not, but I have drink.
Speaker 2: I drink out of the mug you got me multiple
times over the weekend as well as where the sun's
quite a bit. And uh, the little uh D and
D minifigs are now my desk in there. And then
I ended up putting a couple more D and D
minifigs in the stockings for the girls on little stocky tovers.
And then I knew, like once they build them, they
forget about them and never touch.
Speaker 3: You take them back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then so now they're also I got a
full party of four right now on my desk.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a How's a wizard the mini the
mini water thing.
Speaker 2: We I made that into a an American girl doll accessor.
Oh so now the now the American girl dolls have
a have a water water joke.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, you know I was doing it so you
didn't have everything being between breaks.
Speaker 2: But you know what you need to get up. It's
to get up and walk. Yeah, or you call me fat,
its messed up. Just stay active. Hell, you work it
all the time. Great, I just showed I just showed
your picture what you look like.
Speaker 3: Real fun.
Speaker 2: Uh, even though I gotta dude, I gotta I gotta
go to some I gotta go to. I don't know, Jake,
if you're doing with old football stuff. I know your
head always gives you trouble. But like, I have got
to go to a physical therapist for my shoulder, my knees, kind.
Speaker 3: Of my shoulders. It's dying. I gotta go see it
is literally degenerated posche again. Yeah, starting to work out again.
Speaker 2: It's like Yeah, it's like it's knocking, you know what
I mean, Like it's not fully there, but like I
can feel.
Speaker 3: It a little bit. It's like, hey, Bud, it's okay,
you're forty. Yeah, gotta oil the machine. Pointy parties.
Speaker 2: I'm lifting more waist out, which I'm loving, right, I'm
loving fields strong, but I'm not like lifting crazy.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of lighter, higher reps like I'm doing
the same.
Speaker 2: I'm working out with women every day, like every day.
You know, a couple other guys in there, but shout
out evolved. I absolutely love it. I think there needs
to be more guys there. It's it's not just to
work out for women. It's it's awesome like it is.
I'm I'm fully in love. I love how I feel
when I'm doing I love functional movement, lunges, all this
other stuff. But I'll be damned if my shoulder just
isn't dying, just really just dying.
Speaker 3: So I don't know, I'll figure it.
Speaker 2: I got maybe we can get a a PT sponsor
or something. You know. That is one of the perks
of this job. There's always avenues that you can seek
to explore traut while while you're while we're waiting to
get sponsored. You can go do some pizzi over a elite. Uh.
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, there you go. I get checked out. That's
because I don't want to go. I don't necessarily want.
Speaker 2: To go to an ortho like an ortho, because I
feel like it's probably gonna be like surgery, and.
Speaker 3: I don't want to have surgery. No, we're too old
for that, too old for that soldier. Surgery would wreck
my hook him worse than my physical health.
Speaker 4: You'd hook him up in elite. I mean that that's
nice of you.
Speaker 3: No, No, that's gotta.
Speaker 4: Be worth I don't know, one hundred dollars gift cards
or something like that.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that's where he's going. I mean,
that's nice of you.
Speaker 4: Maybe pay with like I don't know. I'm just throwing
out a number, maybe a hundred dollars.
Speaker 2: Where lead physical therapists to show up at rouses and
he can have my one hundred dollars gift.
Speaker 3: Taylor. I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: By the way, I learned long ago that you know
I'm gonna give more to teeth than he's going to
give to me.
Speaker 3: Not true. You won't even watch its wonderful life.
Speaker 2: I watched I watched multiple seasons of Ozark for you.
You didn't even watch a New Hope that was supposed
to be the trade.
Speaker 3: I watched your original Star Wars for you. No, you didn't,
that's a New Hope.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did, remember Knox, and I did, and he's
actually became a fan of Star Wars because of it.
So I feel like I added one to the crew
by watching it.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, this non Fox whole thing goes both ways. Okay,
it's not a one way.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know how far one hundred dollars gift
card will Goay, not in.
Speaker 2: Your family, I mean, yeah, what a gallon of milk?
Speaker 3: Family?
Speaker 2: You a gallon of milk and seven congrats inflations.
Speaker 5: Instead, he just showers himself with nice wine and whiskey.
He does, and I even gave him some whiskey for
Christmas so he didn't have to buy it.
Speaker 3: Now it's just Jameson, but.
Speaker 2: You can get an extra Well, I will say this
for what it's worth, there's a very good chance that
you will have some liquor coming your way through.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really drink though.
Speaker 2: Well, that's on you. It sounds like a personal problem.
What do you mean, thank you?
Speaker 3: That's fair? Now, yeah, that's that's fair. It's the thought
that counts what you do with it. I mean it's uh,
go to your Goodwood dot com.
Speaker 2: If you drink too much and you're suffering from eating
uh well like not if you're drinking too much, right,
that's a different problem. But if you are suffering for
me D or you have hair loss, or you think
you're low t you don't have the energy you used to,
go to your Goodwood dot com just like it's spelled
your Goodwood dot com. And let's start on the journey
to being our best. Like, if you're embarrassed about any
of this stuff, you don't have to be. It's such
an easy fix. So don't let your embarrassment stop you

Speaker 3: You're good with not Come.
Speaker 2: All right, let's look one playoff game before you go
to break here, and let's start New Year's Uh, New
Year's Eve. Penn State, Boise State in the Burbo Fiesta
bol Penn State eleven point favorites and again styles make fights.
I'm gonna be fascinated to see if I'm gonna fascinate
and see what boys he can do here? Uh, because
I feel like this plays pretty directly into a Penn
State team's hands that is playing very confidently right now,
Drew Aller playing as confident as he has been in
his entire career. It's a Penn State defense that is
very good, very long, very strong, very fast and I mean, Jake,
you know more about the bois rushing attack in their
creativity than most. Do you see a world where Boise
is able to line up against those very full boxes,
because if you're Penn State, you obviously force Maddicks to
try to do anything against you the quarterback right like
like if he has to win the game, right exactly exactly.
Speaker 3: Everybody tried to do it, but other teams have.
Speaker 2: Not but Boise Now Oregon, yes, but it was game
one outside Oregon has not faced a defense close to
what they'll see in Penn State.
Speaker 3: Do you think Jent still has success here?
Speaker 5: I still think he's going to have success now, is
it going to be enough to win the game?
Speaker 3: I don't believe so.
Speaker 5: Penn State is a team that's just kind of built
for a matchup like this. Yeah, exactly, It's like one
of the worst matchups that boys he could have had.
Speaker 3: Like, there's other teams that I would have given them
a better chance.
Speaker 2: There's team that are better than Penn State, but not
as good as a matchup here.
Speaker 3: So when I look at Boise State, I do love
their run game. As you mentioned, they are very diverse.
Speaker 5: In what they do outside zone twenty nine percent of
the time inside zone, eighteen percent, man concepts, twenty percent, power,
twelve percent, counter or twelve percent. So it's going to
be a little bit of everything them in Arizona State
both and I love that because you know how much
I hate teams that only run inside zone out of gun.
I cannot stand it. It's why you can't run the football.
It's because you're lazy in your run game. And your
run schemes very good. Both these teams, like Arizona saying Boise,
they're here because they are diverse in their run game.
They will run everything everything's available. They can check to
it as well. They'll do that a ton at the.
Speaker 3: Line of scrimmage. But I just don't know that any
of these runs.
Speaker 5: Although I love them all, they're gonna get be able
to get enough push to win the game. They're gonna
have success. Gent's going to have big runs in this game.
But I think Penn State's going to smother them enough.
And I just don't think boys defense can keep up
and can just absorb what they're going to get from
Penn State.
Speaker 3: They're gonna get leaned on.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Penn State has got two backs that are
really good players, like Drew Ally doesn't even have to
do a whole lot in this game. Now, Tyler Warren's
kind of a cheat code.
Speaker 2: He's kind of the guy that can kind of do
a whole lot of different things, as we all know.
Speaker 3: I just don't love the matchup for.
Speaker 2: Boise, Yeah, Singleton and Allen. It's just it's a very
experienced backfield for Penn State there.
Speaker 3: I do wonder though, Penn State SMU.
Speaker 2: In a different world if you avoid the pig sixes,
which again I know is a big if, but something
that Boise should not run into in theory. Like I guess,
as bad as the matchup is stylistically because just some
of the size advantage kind of how Penn State is
built from a game control standpoint, It's maybe not the
worst because like you said, they're gonna lean on them.
But will it take Penn State a while to separate
and then a Penn State's the one that makes the
critical error. Does that close the gap enough? It remains
to be seen. Would you take Penn State to cover
the eleven here?
Speaker 5: I can definitely see a backdoor cover situation for Boise here.
Eleventh a lot, it's a lot of points. We saw
Boysey go on the road and have the number one
team on the country, the team the only team that
didn't lose on the absolute ropes. I do think a
lot of Boise State if they lost by ten, I
wouldn't be shocked.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think eleven is too much for me. All Right,
there you go, so I think we both think Penn
State wins. Though coming up next time with the other
playoff games, keep.
Speaker 3: A lot do to me off the bench. Go to

Speaker 1: Welcome back to the best morning sports show around sorta.
It's off the Bench with Hester and t.
Speaker 3: Bop Yo, what heading y'all? Welcome back to OTB.
Speaker 2: And then uh so on New Year's Day we get
one pluff game New Year's Eve on New Year's Day.
Oh that's interesting. Oh wait, near mind, that is not interesting.
Oh no, no, I had I had it right, Then I
had it wrong. Uh I thought that LSU led straight
into the playoff games they do, and then I misread
something and.
Speaker 3: I thought they did what they do. Pointless story.
Speaker 2: Bob, shut up and talk, all right, So Texas Arizona
State eleven am New Year's Day, and this is when
we lock in for a full slate of playoff games.
Speaker 3: Nothing in the world again would.
Speaker 2: Make me happier than Arizona State somehow winning this game.
Texas d line's really good. Kid's Gottaby Company of says, sure, right.
The problem is, I think the recipe for beating Texas
is so obvious, right, can you stop Wisner and Blue?
And if you can, and you put quinn Ewers put
the game in his hands, he will make mistakes. This
much is non uh. I don't think Arizona State's defense
will be able to stop Texas's rushing attack. I'll look
up the numbers again, but I'm pretty sure to take
their rush defense is just okay, and we saw where
that got Climpson last week. So I think Texas rolls here.
I think they honestly covered just because of the rushing attack.
Speaker 5: I'm probably a little biased in this answer here, but
I do love Arizona State. I think Arizona State has
four ranked wins on the year. I don't think anybody's
given them any credit. ESPN came out with the playoff
teams since twenty fourteen ranked. They picked this Arizona State
team dead last, which I think is just dead wrong.
I think there's a lot of teams that have been
in the playoffs that aren't as good as his team.
Speaker 3: Leviot at quarterback, I think is incredibly athletic.
Speaker 5: If Jordan Tyson is like was in this game, yeah,
I would feel completely different about it. He's one of
the better receivers in the country, well over a thousand
yard guy. Certainly, if he didn't miss the last game,
we're probably talking close to twelve hundred. You know, skataboo
Is is somebody's going to get his in this game,
just like I talked about with Boise State, Like they
are a team that's gonna.
Speaker 3: Run outside zone, inside zone.
Speaker 5: Power account, poll lead, like I hadn't seen a lot
of poll lead, you know, since the old horn Balls
days here at LSU that we used to run. But
they run at twelve percent of the time, Like that's
just another part of their game. They're gonna have success
in this game at different points because they don't just
run at the interior of that Texas D line like
they get on your edges and that's what they're really
good at. And so now it's going to fall into
the linebackers in the safeties. Now, the safeties for Texas
are really good and run support, so levit's going to
have to make plays on some hard, heavy play action
down the field.
Speaker 3: I don't hate this matchup for Arizona State.
Speaker 5: I think they're going to be in this matchup the
entire game, and I think it's going to be a
close game.
Speaker 2: To be fair, they actually have the number one rushed
events in the Big Twelve. It's just a weird situation
where apparently nobody defends the run well on the Big
Twelve because they give up one hundred and seventeen yards
a game, they giving up eighteen rushing touchdowns, and they
give up three point eight yards per carry, which are fine,
respectable numbers and better than Clemson for whatever that's worth.
But I don't know, man, I'm just so impressed with
the Texash line and wiser and Blue and Texas line
getting healthy again. I hope Scataboy and company do it.
Nothing would make me happier than if the Big Twelve
were able to get revenge against the team that failed
in their conference for so long. But I don't think
Arizona State's won to do it. But you think Arizona
State will cover the big spread thirteen and a half?
Speaker 5: I did, Oh, I do? Okay, I actually think a
lot of Arizona State. I've talked about him throughout the year.
Kenny Dillingham is a really good football I mean, he
was the OC at Oregon when bow Knicks was going
off and kind of his resurgence. So Kenny Dillingham had
him as a quarterback coach when bow Knicks was a
freshman at Auburn, which remember it like when he came
onto the scene, Like bow Knicks was actually pretty good.
Speaker 3: He'd bet Justin.
Speaker 5: Herbert at Oregon in his first ever game. Yeah, it
was a sophomore and junior years that were bad. Well,
Kenny Dillingham wasn't there for those, so he gets him
back at Oregon has a big resurgence.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then obviously like what Kenny Dillingham has been able
to do with this Arizona State team and certainly the offense,
Like I just I think they're a good football team.
They've been doubted all year long. I mean, but that's
I agree with you. But I also thought that like, ah,
whatever doesn't matter, Nobody doesn't matter. I would saying to
tell the teams last year, we're good football teams too,
and I think they are.
Speaker 3: I think they are good football teams.
Speaker 2: I think early on in the playoffs or maybe see
the difference beween good and great, but maybe Arizona's closer
to great, or maybe Texas is closer to good.
Speaker 3: Right, we will certainly find out.
Speaker 5: And look, if you can get Quinn off his office
mark or a little bit, it doesn't take a lot, no,
because when he's good, he's really good.
Speaker 3: When he's throwing those those.
Speaker 5: Seam routes to Golden Man, I don't know that anybody
else in the country can throw them like that. But
I'll be damned if every single game he is not
going to try to throw a comeback to a squad
a corner.
Speaker 3: Yeah, every game it happened.
Speaker 5: I mean every game that I've watched him this year,
because he's got the big arm. And I was talking
about this with Jimbo on Monday when he joined us.
Guys like that, you love them because they can make
every throw, but they also make you nervous because they
can make every throw. He's like, Look, we had him
in camp and he said it whistles when he throws it,
but it gets him in trouble sometimes too, Like eighty
five percent of quin years is really good, but that
fifteen percent can get you beat.
Speaker 3: When we get back, let's talk with the other playoff games.
Speaker 2: And I've got a third eye scenario here that will
blow your mind, because I'm going to tell you a
major off season storyline that is going to happen coming
up next here on o TV. Off the Bench go
to Maine Event of bat Rouge. How about that earlier
in the show, Oh man.
Speaker 3: I wish you could remember the name. I apologize, but or.
Speaker 2: In the show someone say huge thanks to main Event
and Off the Bench, I took my family to main
event for a little holiday fun mentioned OTB. All six
members of the family got free thirty minute time cards.
Speaker 3: Guys, Come on, how awesome is that?
Speaker 2: So you're looking for something to fun do kids are
out of school for a couple more weeks.
Speaker 3: Why not go over there to main event?
Speaker 2: Right, You're gonna go bowling, great laser taggerin to do
some gravity ropes, play some arcade games. Got a great
new revised feud and food and drink menu, And remember,
if you want to plan an event for like your
your sales team, a business, whatever. We have dedicated party planners.
Let's say a I ready to go go to main
Event today. Right here, Betroies mentioned O TV free thirty
minute time cork yep, go there today and look, you
can do whatever you want to do over there, because
it's what you make it. If you want to take
the family over there, if you want to rent it out,
if you want to go bowling, if you don't have dinner,
all that available, go to main event dot com.
Speaker 1: Welcome in to the best morning sports this show around
off the Bench with Hester and t Bob.
Speaker 3: Well then and y'all all right, so interest the conversation
with the break. Oh Lineman should do DV celebrations, but
that's for another day.
Speaker 2: My third eye was fully opened last night when discussing
a couple of big decisions on uh ON on quarterbacks
coming up Jake, First off, the Carson back situation is
absolutely fascinating. Beck undergoing UCL surgery like Perty did, should
be able to start throwing in the spring. I mean,
I feel like he can't go to the NFL now
he already had a year in which is stock got
dinged significantly. Now would he go and be a mid
to low round pick coming off of U c L injury?
Speaker 3: Does he go back to ujd's UJ one him back
and the UGA case? I think a lot of fans don't.
Speaker 2: I think Kirby Smart does, like I think actually Carson
Beek will be George's quarterback again next season. But Texas
and quinn Ewers becomes much more interesting because there's a good, well,
there's some smoke as well that Quinn you were, could
be coming back to college. He saw his own NFL
draft stock drop. He's making a lot of money in
college right now? Why why don't he come back? But
Texas has arch Manning? Yep, right, they love arch Manning.
I mean then they have sub packages for him. But
beyond that, remember when Quinn rs Are sucking against Georgia,
they put arch Manning in there to give him a spark.
Now it didn't happen, but that shows you think the
arch is close, right, Like, there's gonna be a ton
of pressure sure to move on to Arch even if
Quinn wants to return. So this is what's going to happen.
Quinn Ewers will hit the transfer portal, where will Quinn
Ewers end up Ohio State, back to where it all began,
the place that he originally committed to. And then who
does Ohio State open next season with the Texas Longhorns
in Columbus arch Manning replacing Quinn Ewers all the pressure
in the world on him, while Quinn, you know, I'm
being forced to find his else at fortune elsewhere will
be at the head of the defending national champion Ohio
State Buckeyes, and Ryan Day and Quinn yours will win
a second national championship in a row, and we will
all have to kiss the running cheeks of Ryan Day
and say I'm sorry because now you're back to back champs.
I just laid out the next two years of college football.
You're welcome them, Thank you.
Speaker 3: Will they beat Michigan? That no, okay, no, they still
will not be will beat Michigan.
Speaker 4: They were like fourteen to fifteen one.
Speaker 2: Ryan Day will be fired after winning a second national championship, right, unprecedented. Yes,
they won't fire him because he didn't beat Michigan. Thank you, though, Yeah,
you're welcome, guys. Uh.
Speaker 3: I bet Quinn just goes to the NFL. Yeah, you're
probably right. I don't know that. I mean, what's his
stock at now? Kind of sucks?
Speaker 2: Right, Like you see him get on an even playing field,
you none, the NFL is a giant even playing field.
Speaker 5: Now you're kind of late in the process for the
transfer portal, not that the team wouldn't certainly pig when
you were going to be their quarterback, and I don't
know where that would be.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, let's say quinnin her supporter you want
to talk about a hot commodity.
Speaker 3: Bruh, everybody be going after everybody that needed a quarterback?
Makes so much? Sure? You know how State would because
Will Howard Son?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, so how state would Alabama? Shoot?
Speaker 2: Michigan, Mike honestly, Alabama absolutely, Georgia potentially, Yeah, if Beck,
if Beck was maybe elsewhere, If Beck decides that he
wants to go to the draft, like if Quinn comes
back and Texas even gives a hint of well, you know,
I'll be like, all right, whatever I'll get. I will
literally get four to five million dollars on the open
market right now?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean, why would we go to the
million dollars forte?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Now, so why would he go to the NFL? If
you're queenn yours.
Speaker 5: I think he would. I think he thinks he's going
to be selected high. Yeah, maybe so, maybe so.
Speaker 2: But bobstra Damas has seen the future as if it
were already written. So I don't think he'll be the
Texas quarterback next year, regardless if he's either going to
go to the NFL or he's going to go with them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, it's our style.
Speaker 2: It starts taying baby, uh no, it's not a foot
thing moves so relaxed.
