2024 Barstool Pick Em Week 12

Summary

Barstool Pick Em – 2024 Week 12 (November 14, 2024)

Overview

This episode of Barstool Pick Em dives headfirst into the chaos and drama of college football and basketball as the season enters a critical stretch. Big Cat (Pat), Pres (Dave Portnoy), and Rico Bosco break down their season records, recap wild recent results, hash out the infamous “bus bet” for March Madness, and make their confident (if historically losing) picks for this week's CFB and CBB slates. The show also offers entertaining tangents: college campus rankings, TikTok rap fame, bracket resumes, and the ever-present rollercoaster of Barstool's team dynamics.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Gambling & Picks Update (01:33–02:26)

• The hosts start by hilariously highlighting their subpar records.
  • Rico is “hanging on by a thread” at 50.9%, Dave at 47.9%, and Pat self-deprecates as “having the worst season of my life.”
  • Bob Diaco’s “Ibo” standings surface, signaling the show’s ongoing inside jokes around bad beats and losing streaks.

2. Campus Rankings: The Grove at Ole Miss (02:18–02:51)

• Glowing reviews for Ole Miss’s campus life after a visit:
  • Dave: “It's spectacular… the Grove number one. It's spectacular… upscale, tight walking, just really cool.”

3. NCAA Hoops & the Infamous Alabama Bus Bet (02:51–08:12)

• With college basketball back, the crew hammers out details on an outrageous wager:

  • The Bet: If Alabama makes the Final Four, Rico flies first class to San Antonio and parties with the crew. If not, he must take a bus to San Antonio.
  • The negotiation spirals into “stimulations” (Rico repeatedly mispronouncing ‘stipulations’), arguments about bus rides becoming a permanent show tradition, and add-ons suggested by Jack Mac (e.g., someone should always be forced to take the bus for content).

  “This will be the last bus bet ever.” – Rico (03:52)

  “No, but I'm not even doing last bus bet. That is crazy. That may be something we want to do every year.” – Dave (04:26)

  • Odds are discussed: Alabama is +240 for the Final Four.
  • Rico admits: “My father was horrified when he heard this... that's a bad bet.” (07:21)
  • The banter cements March Madness as “must-watch TV: no naps, no excuses.”

4. Heisman Race & Future Bets (08:46–10:07)

• Travis Hunter emerges as the Heisman betting favorite:

  • “Travis Hunter. Heisman. He’s +130... now everything is in.” – Pat (09:01–09:05)
  • Discussion on odds for other contenders: Dylan Gabriel (+330), Ashton Gentry.

• Debate on how conference championship game outcomes impact playoff seeding.

5. College Basketball: Player Talk & Villainy (11:04–11:57)

• Pat and Rico rave about Dejuan Harris at Kansas and reflect on Hunter Dickinson’s seemingly eternal eligibility (“Covid years, man”).
• The need for NCAA basketball villains, with Dickinson singled out as a top ‘bad guy’.

6. Music & Pop Culture Tangent (12:03–12:48)

• Dave’s TikTok rap ("Rumble, Rumble") reaches meme status (“If they didn’t take it down, it’d be number one in the country.” – Dave).
• Brief chat about Zach Bryan’s NFL music play.

7. CFB Playoff & Bracket Arguments (12:55–14:44)

• Pat is incredulous that SMU isn’t ranked over Notre Dame in the CFB playoff bracket, with the table debating what matters more: signature wins or awful losses.

  • “SMU's loss is against one of the last four undefeated teams… No loss like Notre Dame’s NIU loss.” – Pat (13:35–14:00)

• SEC chaos highlighted: “The SEC is in f***ing log jam… so many teams with one or two losses...” – Rico (14:14–14:17)

• Praise for South Carolina despite their dim playoff outlook.

8. Parity & Paranoia: Who’s the Best? (15:02–16:04)

• No consensus on a dominant team.

  • “Who do you think is the best team in the country?” – Rico

  • “No idea!” – Dave

  • Oregon, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Alabama are floated as possible top four teams.

9. SEC & Conference Championship Scenarios (16:18–19:05)

• Spirited “what-if” discussion over how a 2-loss SEC runner-up could miss the playoff, and whether championship game losers are unfairly penalized for playing an extra game.

  • “I don’t think you should be penalized for the championship game.” – Dave (18:10)

  • Suggestion: The championship could be between two bubble teams (though everyone agrees that'll never happen).

10. Specific Big Games & Bets: Picks Breakdown (21:49–45:51)

a. Utah at Colorado (21:49–24:55)

• Colorado is a big favorite (–12.5), sparking debate about their turnaround and Utah’s deflated state after a “brutal” loss.
• Notable moment: “That was as rowdy… like when I think of places on the verge of chaos, I think Lubbock.” – Dave about Texas Tech (24:04)

b. Tulane at Navy (24:57–26:14)

• Rico likes Tulane to cover, Pat prefers the over.
• Dave: “Navy’s been really good… I think this will be a close, high scoring game.”

c. Kansas State vs. Arizona State (26:16–28:21)

• Analysis on Big 12 chaos; Kansas State considered a strong home pick.

d. Mizzou at South Carolina (28:21–30:47)

• South Carolina (-12) gets support from Pat and Dave; Rico takes Mizzou +12.

e. Tennessee at Georgia (31:24–34:37)

• Multiple hosts shocked by the Georgia player celebrating with Ole Miss; call it “psychopath” behavior.

  • “That guy's a crazy. That guy's a psychopath.” – Dave (33:08, 33:11)

• All take Georgia, but with zero faith in QB Carson Beck: “Carson Beck is bad… he makes the wrong decision five times a game.” – Pat (34:37–34:48)

The Cards (Picks of the Week)

Each host gives an extensive card with mortals (locks):

Pat (Big Cat)

• Old Dominion +3, Penn State –28, Texas-Arkansas over 57.5, Kansas +3 (as mortal)

Rico

• Jacksonville State –14, SMU/BC over 53.5, Oregon –14.5, UAB/Memphis over 62.5

Dave (Pres)

• Aggressively chasing with a long card, including Syracuse +9.5, Penn State –28.5, Florida +4.5, Virginia +23, BC +19, South Carolina –12, UCLA +3.5, Arizona –1, Ohio –28.5, Navy +7, San Jose State +13.5, Georgia –10, Oregon –14, BYU –3, UNLV –20.5, among others. (43:04–43:57)
• Mortal: South Carolina –12

Jack Mac & others

• Various picks added for card/”parlay” purposes.

---

Barstool Office Banter: Team Dynamics & Year-End Reflections (35:12–37:56)

• Quick aside on Rico’s year: consensus is he’s “changed” and no longer a problem, with inside jokes about the expectations of basic behavior (“wrestling with rewarding expected behavior”).
• Meek Phil gets a shoutout as a rider “having a good year.”

---

Bitcoin, Biz & Company Talk (45:36–47:25)

• Dave updates on his bitcoin holdings: “Probably lost like... million, million and a half… have 14 bitcoins left.” – Dave (45:43–46:00)
• The crew jokes about paying contracts in bitcoin and who would mentally survive volatility.

---

Summary Takeaways

• If you’re looking for sharp, serious picks—look elsewhere: The hosts play up their own mediocrity with self-aware bravado.
• The show’s best moments come from side bets, inside jokes, and friendly antagonism: e.g., the “bus bet,” celebrating mediocrity, heated sideline debates.
• On the field, the CFB landscape is wild and wide open: The crew can’t confidently name a “best” team, and the SEC/Big 12 are described as “chaos.”
• All eyes are on March Madness—if only to see Rico stuck on a bus to San Antonio.

[Pat]

Them week 12 we are down the stretch, boys.

[Dave]

RICO is hanging on by a thread.

[Pat]

Hanging on by a thread. 5452 for 50.9% the Pat Hill standings. Dave, you're in second, 47.9. I'm in third, 46.5%. I am the worst gambler in the world. I'm having the worst season of my life. Bob Diaco Ibo. I think he's. I think it's dormant.

[Rico]

Yeah, it's.

[Pat]

It's 9 and 2. I'm all the way down to 2 and 9. It's been bad. It's been a bloodbath. Dave, how we doing?

[Dave]

Yeah, I don't even know. I was three and five last week. I bet these things early because I must have bet him when I was in Nashville, but I Won ucla. And then I don't think I won a game on Saturday, so I didn't do great on Saturday.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. We had a great time, though, in Oxford. That was an incredible scene. The grove is awesome.

[Dave]

Awesome. I think it's my number one campus I've been to.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

Really?

[Dave]

It's spectacular. It was so cool. I mean, a lot of people say that we're not breaking news. Everyone's always said, I've told the story. McShay, when he was traveling all over the place, I asked him, like, prettiest girls, best tailgate. He always had the grove number one. It's spectacular. And not only the grove, the square, the way the campus is set up, it's tight walking, like, upscale. It's just really cool.

[Pat]

Yeah. Rico, college basketball started.

[Rico]

Yes.

[Pat]

Are you nervous about the start of the hoops?

[Rico]

Definitely nervous.

[Pat]

What do we got? Do we. Can we do a little round ball talk?

[Rico]

Do a little round. We could get to the bet as well.

[Pat]

Yeah. So you. Have you made a decision on the bet? For people who missed last week's episode, the bet is Alabama. If they get to the final four, Rico will be flying first class of San Antonio, staying in the hotel that David I stay in, and we will attend the pump party with Rico and schmooze it up for. I mean, you have us as long as you want.

[Rico]

Okay.

[Pat]

And if they do not get to the final four, Rico will be taking a bus to San Antonio. He can fly back, but to San Antonio, take a bus, and there will never be a pump party for me and Dave.

[Dave]

Right.

[Rico]

I have plus odds on the bet. So I have a couple of stimulations.

[Jack]

And then I knew there was going to be stimulation.

[Pat]

Stimulation.

[Rico]

Stipulations. Stipulations.

[Pat]

Okay. Give us the stimulations first.

[Rico]

Stimulations first.

[Pat]

All right. This.

[Rico]

This will be the last bus bet ever.

[Pat]

Oh.

[Dave]

If I take it tonight.

[Rico]

Okay, stop.

[Dave]

Well, we. We. It.

[Jack]

I mean, Dave doesn't do stimulations like.

[Dave]

Like, we can never involve a bus in it. That's just crazy. So you're not even being put gun to head that you have to do this.

[Rico]

I know.

[Pat]

Hold on. Just to clear it up.

[Dave]

He.

[Pat]

He. It could be the last bus bet. He does. That doesn't mean it's the last bus ride. He does. Because last year was not a bus bet. It was just get on the bus.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Pat]

So.

[Dave]

No, but I'm not even doing last bus bet. Like, that is crazy. That may be something we want to do every year.

[Pat]

That's true. We might want to do it every year.

[Rico]

Jesus Christ. All right, we.

[Dave]

Absolutely not.

[Rico]

So that's a hard number one on the simulations. We would go to the game, correct?

[Pat]

Yeah. Okay. We always go to the Saturday game.

[Rico]

Friday's rundown. Can it be negotiated around Alabama's practice? Yeah, I could still go to practice. Of course.

[Pat]

Of course.

[Rico]

You want somebody on the bus if they make it. Somebody should still take the bus.

[Pat]

What do you mean?

[Rico]

I'm looking behind the glass.

[Pat]

Oh, I like this.

[Rico]

His fucking twist.

[Pat]

Anyway. I like.

[Rico]

Anyway. What's in it for me?

[Pat]

I like this a lot. Yeah, I like this.

[Rico]

What do I get then if they don't make it? Oh, oh, we haven't figured that part out.

[Pat]

I like this.

[Rico]

If they don't make it.

[Dave]

Is it his idea?

[Pat]

Yeah, it was his idea. It was Jack's idea.

[Rico]

So I'm basically in.

[Pat]

Okay, so you're in. So what is in it for? For Jack?

[Rico]

I don't know. That's why you have to say, if they don't make it, I get to fly first class and stay in your suite.

[Pat]

Yeah, I mean, that would be fair.

[Rico]

That's up to Dave. I didn't want to put that out on the table.

[Dave]

Either way.

[Pat]

Yeah. Jack goes for social and stuff for. For draft.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico]

But I don't make you guys go to the pumps party or anything because that's.

[Dave]

Yeah. Right. Pumps party. You just get to fly with us and fly with Dan and.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Stay at the hotel. Fine. I'm fine with that.

[Pat]

All right.

[Rico]

Definitely go to the game and we definitely will negotiate practice.

[Pat]

Yeah. What now, Jack, you have. You. You're sitting here right now with a. With a loaded gun right now. You. You could have. You could. Like if. Listen, if you wanted to fly for. If it's just enough for you to fly first class and stabilize, that's fine. But I'll just throw this out there.

[Rico]

Yeah, hit me.

[Pat]

If Alabama doesn't make it, you just fly regular, stay in the hotel. But he can't go to the pumps party.

[Dave]

No, come on.

[Pat]

You can't do that. Okay. All right, all right. I just. You had a moment there where you had that. You had the negotiation in your hand, and you just went with a first class plane ticket. It's like $200 more. It is.

[Rico]

Plus odds.

[Dave]

Final four.

[Rico]

Think 240 plus 240.

[Pat]

You take the bus from Chicago. Oh, perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Rico]

Deal. Done.

[Pat]

Is there anyone else you want on that bus? Any other skills.

[Rico]

Wait, hold on.

[Pat]

Any other skills with. With Jack? I mean, someone's got A video jack.

[Rico]

Max is a hard rooter against.

[Pat]

Max. All right, so Max is on the bus with him.

[Rico]

I don't even think he knows. He would hate me forever, but no.

[Pat]

Yeah, he would. All right, so you're in. So the bed is set.

[Rico]

Let me tell you what they are to make the Final four, Dave. They're plus 240.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Rico]

My father was horrified when he, when he heard this.

[Pat]

Why?

[Rico]

Because he was like, that's a bad bet. But I was like, it's, you don't understand. It's.

[Pat]

He. Did you tell him you guys are 11 deep?

[Rico]

Yeah, we're 11 deep.

[Pat]

Because I always, whenever I'm trying to bet on a team to make the Final Four, I care about 11 deep. Not, you know, the seven or eight that need to play the actual minutes, but 11.

[Dave]

What are they right now in the rankings?

[Rico]

Two.

[Pat]

They kind of struggled a little.

[Rico]

No, they played two of the best mid majors in the country.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Rico]

They're great, too. So they. And the shots didn't go in. Some nights that's gonna happen. We still scored 88 when the shots didn't go in.

[Pat]

Shots better go in the tournament.

[Rico]

Thoughts? Better going in the tournament. Okay, so I'll virtually shake Dave's hand.

[Pat]

Yep. I love this. This is great. This is a great, great bet.

[Rico]

That March has now become must watch television.

[Pat]

Yeah. I mean, it always was.

[Rico]

Always was. But now it's no naps.

[Pat]

No, no naps.

[Rico]

No.

[Pat]

I, I, I do get like this time of year when college basketball comes back, I just think about how much I love March Madness. And this year, by the way, I've thought long and hard about him having the worst gambling, like two months. Just can't find a winner anywhere. Can't string together a winning week. What do you got, Dave? You got something behind you.

[Dave]

I feel like my printer was making noise. Like something.

[Pat]

I think this year is going to be the first year where I commit to the spreads don't matter betting system where I just, I bet both sides of the game. I bet, I bet the.

[Dave]

You already take a Yukon future?

[Pat]

Yeah, I had to cash out because I had no money left.

[Dave]

Oh.

[Rico]

So Travis Hunter should win.

[Pat]

I'll probably end up betting UConn again after some of the games going. Yeah, no. Travis Hunter.

[Rico]

Give him the Heisman try.

[Pat]

Travis Hunter. Heisman is.

[Dave]

What's his current odds?

[Pat]

He's plus 130.

[Dave]

He's the favorite.

[Pat]

Yeah, he's the favorite. Now everything is in. Travis Hunter for Heisman. I need Travis Hunter. And what's Dylan Gabriel, he's like plus 300.

[Rico]

Plus 330.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

Travis Hunter plus 1 10. Dylan Gabriel plus 330, Ashton Genty. Plus 350. Cameron.

[Dave]

So the second choice is Gabriel.

[Rico]

Yes.

[Pat]

Yeah. Because Cam Ward lost.

[Dave]

Wow.

[Pat]

Yeah. Dave, I need it.

[Dave]

Yeah. That's what it. What a change.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. And he has. I think he can. I think he will win it if Colorado runs the table. I think they have a hard game against Kansas next week. But if. I think he'll be fucked if championship Sunday comes and Dylan Gabriel's playing, Cam Ward's playing, Ashton Genti's playing and Travis Hunter is not playing.

[Dave]

That's right.

[Pat]

That's the death of me.

[Dave]

You may be fucked. Even if he is playing in Gabriel Beats Ohio or whoever they play in the Big Ten championship. I don't even know what side they'd be on. Oregon.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. No, they would. They would.

[Dave]

They would rematch with.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. Just one verse. Two in the Big Ten.

[Rico]

[Pat]

The bet is in. What are any other college hoops?

[Rico]

No, I watched a little of Kansas last night. I love Dewan Harris that point.

[Pat]

How is Hunter Dickinson still playing basketball?

[Rico]

Covid.

[Dave]

Crazy years, man.

[Rico]

It's crazy. It's a. It's wild.

[Pat]

It's. I mean I do kind of like it because the. The college basketball needs villains and he is like a pure villain. But it's nuts. When I turned on that game, that was a great game against UNC the other night, and I was like, geez, he's still here.

[Dave]

Yeah, Nuts. I saw him on some Is like, top five player list or something. I couldn't believe. I mean, he was at Michigan for seven years.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. It felt like five years ago he was at Michigan.

[Dave]

Yeah, Nuts.

[Pat]

And our boy Cooper, Flag. Real deal. Even though he choked down the stretch.

[Rico]

He'S still pretty good. Hank's mad at him.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

But, yeah, he had two bad turnovers, but, you know, he's still good, obviously.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

Duke is 26 and 12.

[Pat]

I didn't know they got Mason Gillis. I hate them so much. And what's the guy's name? Con Canopel.

[Rico]

Yeah, he can shoot the lights.

[Pat]

He's gonna be a hated.

[Rico]

Yes, he can shoot lights out of the ball.

[Pat]

All right, so, Dave, what else. What else do you have? College football. Any. Any thoughts?

[Rico]

We have the new I can't get your rap out of my head Dave, by the way.

[Pat]

Oh, it's so cool.

[Rico]

Rumble, Rumble, Tinder. Rumble Rya. Because it's everywhere on Tik Tok as well.

[Dave]

Smallest man. That one's. That one. That one we don't have the rights to, but yeah, it's.

[Pat]

I mean, people are banging that song. It's crazy.

[Dave]

It would have been the number one song in the country if they didn't take it down.

[Pat]

Yeah, I. I did. See, on Monday Night Football, they. They were playing a little Zach Brian in the bumper music.

[Dave]

Really? That's just somebody who's out of that. You're just out of the loop.

[Pat]

If you're doing that, you're out of the two. Remember that? Remember, like, last year when you were.

[Dave]

They were playing. It was like his song they were using. So.

[Pat]

Yeah, you're singing Revival for a while last year. That's. I listen. I listen to him. Yeah, I listen to his music.

[Rico]

It's out now. It's off the rotations.

[Dave]

Yeah. Yeah. I started liking his music before all this. I didn't really pay any attention, but whatever. It's an easy out. It's too slow for me anyways.

[Pat]

Yeah. Okay. So, yeah, college football. We have. I. We're the. The bracket is out. I. My only issue with the bracket right now. Let me find it. Is. I don't understand why SMU is not in the 12. It makes no sense to me. They have a better resume than Notre Dame. In my opinion, they're one Losses to an undefeated byu.

[Rico]

Okay.

[Pat]

They killed Pitt. They beat Louisville on the road. I know Notre Dame also beat Louisville. I guess Notre Dame has a Texas.

[Rico]

A and M win is what's holding that.

[Pat]

But Notre dame lost to NIU. SMU's loss is against the fucking one of the last four undefeated teams.

[Rico]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dave]

I mean you're saying, you're saying SMU's biggest win is pit.

[Pat]

Pitt and Louisville both ranked that A and M win.

[Dave]

I like, I, I can argue it both ways. That's a big win over A M.

[Pat]

It's basically what, what matters more, a big win or a bad loss?

[Dave]

Yeah, right.

[Pat]

No loss like Notre Dame's. NIU lost. There were 28.

[Dave]

No, I agree with that. I agree with that.

[Pat]

And, and, and SMU's only loss is week one to BYU by three and BYU is undefeated.

[Dave]

Yeah. So it's. Which way do you want to argue it?

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

I also think the SEC is in fucking log jam.

[Pat]

Yeah, the SEC is in quite, quite something because you got quite the pickle. The, the Tennessee, Ole Miss, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Texas A and M. It's going to probably get figured out a little bit because Texas plays Texas A and M. It's also crazy looking at the SEC and if you look at the top, whatever is six or seven teams that all have one or two losses. I would take South Carolina over like half those teams.

[Dave]

And the other way they're playing right now.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah, they're. They're playing great ball. And it's like. Yeah, I think they're, they're a really good team. They aren't going to make it, but they're a really good team. So any other issues with the. Right now as it's set up, Ohio State would have a cakewalk to the semifinals.

[Dave]

You know, you know, you know who just told us what he was going to do, did exactly what he said he was going to do and just laughed. Right. Our boy Mincy. I'm going to take ole miss at 35 to 1. I know they're going to beat Georgia and they're going to be 10 to 1. Guess what Ole Miss is right now the sixth betting choice.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

He literally called his shot. Exactly like sitting there. Granted, couldn't do it in Mississippi, they don't have gambling, but he was dead ass. Right. And by the way, there's a lot of like when I to say this is wide open, it is wide open. There's like nobody who would surprise me.

[Rico]

Who do you think is the best team in the country? Because I Don't think that.

[Dave]

No idea.

[Rico]

That's the thing. Like Oregon is number one.

[Pat]

I think it.

[Rico]

Chase Texas, like there's a lot of Texas.

[Pat]

I think it's, I think it's Oregon, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Alabama. Those would be my top four teams if I had to go in an elimination playoff.

[Dave]

I don't know what Notre Dame's all about.

[Pat]

Their defense is great.

[Dave]

Their defense is great. This is what it should be. There isn't. There's no power. They're like, Ohio State has all this talent, but that Oregon beat them, they could have lost to Penn State. There's. Who the fucking knows? It's going to be great.

[Rico]

Do you see a world where Indiana loses to Ohio State by 7 to 10, close game, basically the same as State, Penn?

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

Do you see a world where they have to choose between Indiana and State, Penn and who are you picking?

[Pat]

No, I don't think that, I don't think that would come down to that. Okay. All right. I think if Indiana loses close to Ohio State, I think Indiana will be in. I think unfortunately for Indiana, if they get blown out, there's a world where a two loss SEC team takes their spot. But again, the SEC is going to probably figure itself out a little bit because Tennessee plays Georgia. Well, I guess that might complicate it because if Tennessee loses, they both will have two losses. Texas plays Texas A and M. It is going to be a little bit of a mess and it also is going to be very weird because if you get everyone, if everyone ends up with two losses in the sec, or let's say, let's say Texas runs the table, right? And then the second best team has two losses. What happens when, if Texas goes to the SEC championship and beats a two loss team in the SEC championship, gives them their third loss, gives them their third loss. Does that team then get dinged for having three losses even though they shouldn't be because they had to play an extra game?

[Dave]

That's the same question that, that has kind of reared its head and like whether the championship game should be penalized for playing it even when we didn't have the playoffs.

[Pat]

Right. This is, this is why. Because that's a very reasonable situation. All it would take is Georgia beating Tennessee this week and then Texas beating Texas A and M on the last week of the season. It would be. Texas has one conference loss, everyone else has two. Someone has to go play Texas in Atlanta. They lose, they have three losses. Do they get left out?

[Dave]

I don't think, I don't think you should be penalized for the championship game.

[Pat]

Yeah, I agree. This is also why I think you.

[Dave]

Shouldn'T jump leapfrog a team because you're sitting on the sidelines.

[Pat]

I don't know how they would ever be able to figure it out, but if they could do it, it would be so, so good. Where the championship game is not one verse two. It's between the two teams that are on the bubble.

[Dave]

That would never do that.

[Pat]

They'll never do it. But that would be. That's what we need where instead of like Texas playing, you know, Alabama and Alabama gets a third loss and then they kick out Alabama, it's, you know, Ole Miss playing Mizzou if they both have two losses and it's the winner of that goes to the playoff. So it's like the playoffs almost start a week early.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico]

And to Dave's point, like a team who loses the championship game, I could still see them putting a team on the sidelines ahead of them with only two losses. Yeah, that's where.

[Dave]

That's. That's, I think, what the entire conversation was about.

[Rico]

Yeah, exactly. Which is exactly. It would be wrong, but that's what they do. I mean, it's a convoluted system.

[Dave]

So.

[Pat]

Yeah. And I'm. I am worried that Indiana might get fucked if they get. If they get smoked by.

[Dave]

I think if I was betting right now, I take Bama at 10 to 1.

[Pat]

Yeah. I just don't know. Jaylen Milroe is just. He's such a fucking weapon. Where it's like one game elimination game. If that guy does what he did in. In Death Valley, it's. It's insane. He's such a game changer. And I was more.

[Dave]

Their defense.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Defense starting to get better.

[Pat]

Yeah. Their defense starting to get better. Get. Get tighter. Yeah, I. I would agree. I would. What's ole miss now? 10 to 1, 10. Because they're also their defense.

[Rico]

That's where all. That's where Mincy has a good spot with their defense. Their defense was swarming last week against Georgia.

[Pat]

Yeah. Either way, it's going to be. It's going to be awesome. How I just hope Indiana doesn't get. Because that would be like. If you have six, two loss SEC teams and Indiana loses by a million to Ohio State, I think they're going to be screwed.

[Dave]

They got. I mean, Michigan fucking brutalized them in the second half. That looked like old school. Like Michigan just looked like men among boys. I thought. I thought they're going to come back and win the game. I mean, the line of scrimmage was a debacle for Indiana.

[Rico]

Who do you think is better, them or State Penn Indiana or State Penn?

[Dave]

It's tough to say. That's the first time Indiana played anybody and, and they looked like they look bad.

[Rico]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And Michigan's no good, so I don't know.

[Pat]

I would say probably Penn State, but I, I, I don't know. I think Indiana gets disrespected. I, I think Indiana is better than, like, I know their schedule hasn't been there, but I think their sk. I think they're better than people are getting.

[Dave]

I mean, yeah, they were getting mauled.

[Pat]

Last year, but that was also the first time they had even a close game. You know, like they've been killing everyone.

Yeah.

[Pat]

Let's do the card. So we have one big matchup. A couple others that mean something. We'll start with Utah, Colorado, Colorado -12 and a half over under is 46 and a half. Dion. It's crazy that this team is like poised to possibly go to the Big 12 championship. They're playing great ball. That Texas Tech game I thought was going to be a trap. They're down, what, 10? Nothing to start the game.

[Dave]

And then they just had Texas Tech.

[Pat]

Yeah, they killed him in the same.

[Dave]

Where all the, the, the Boobirds. Dion. People were all over his ass at the beginning of the season, chirping him now nowhere to be found. He's done an unbelievable job. Team's playing well. I don't remember them ever being this big of a favorite, though. I feel like they've been either. Underdogs, slight favorites. 12 points. Utah coming off a crushing loss.

[Pat]

Crushing.

[Rico]

Brutal.

[Dave]

BYU by Jew still doing it. Can they get up for this game? I don't know. I'll take Dion. I would. This is not a real bet game for me. I hate the spread.

[Pat]

Yeah. I'm going to take Colorado to Utah. Lost their third quarterback, so I think they're on their fourth quarterback now. And that did feel. It felt like that was all the energy Utah had left against byu.

[Dave]

Yeah. Their arch rival.

[Pat]

Yeah. They're the holy war. They, you know, some questionable calls. I. I feel like that's got to be super deflating for Utah. So I'll take. I'll take Colorado minus 12 and a half. But I agree with Dave. It's not a game I feel like awesome about.

[Rico]

I like the over. I don't like Assad either way.

[Pat]

Really?

[Rico]

Yeah.

[Pat]

I like with the quarterback. With the fourth quarterback.

[Rico]

I know, I know. But I think Colorado's defense allows you still to score. Like what, like four? It's a low number 47. I think Colorado is going to try and put some points up style. They could still score.

[Dave]

They get.

[Rico]

Their defense hasn't been like fantastic.

[Pat]

Colorado's defense has been playing pretty damn good. I. They've definitely turned it around a little bit. I mean they held Texas Tech, who's a good team, to 27. Cincy 23, Arizona 7, UCF 21. They have a good. I mean I. I think their defense has played a lot better, but. Okay, that's a low.

[Dave]

That was, by the way. I don't know. Did you guys watch the Colorado. Texas Tech. That was as rowdy.

[Pat]

They were throwing tortillas at him.

[Dave]

Yeah. It looked like the whole thing was going to turn into a. A brawl. It was that. That is lic. Like when I expect. When I think of places that are like basically on the verge of like chaos. I think Lubbock and it was on the verge of chaos.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

And the refs were like basically not calling borderline personal fouls every single play. It was wild scene.

[Pat]

Yeah. That was. I mean it was a great game and I, I did think Colorado was going to trip up there. Like I had that circled as one of the. One of the games. It's like, oh fuck, this could be a problem.

[Dave]

I've never seen a ref. They threaten to throw out entire sections.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Like the, the refs like if, if we. I mean the. The stadium pa. They're like if you throw something, we're kicking out your entire section. Not the person who throws it. The section. That's how rowdy it was getting tried.

[Rico]

To steal the ball.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

They were Colorado guy.

[Pat]

Did you see the clip of Colorado guy? There's a player in Colorado who's just kicking the pylons over before the game. Just making the Texas Tech guy go pick him back up. Pretty shitty move, but that was, it was intense. Okay, next up. This is a big game for the American right lane at Navy. Navy is plus seven over. Under is 53 and a half. I'll start, I'll take the over. 53 and a half. I now this might be an idiotic thing because I also had the over in the army game last week and army had a 21 play drive that took 13 minutes and 54 seconds which was just peak, peak Army. But I, Navy's defense is, is not very good. And I'll take, I'll take the over here.

[Rico]

I'll take two lane.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Rico]

Yeah, I think two lanes. Tulane's, Tulane's really good. They're going to put the, the, they're going to be in that, they're obviously winning that conference. They're ranked. I like what Tulane's did. They've done it for me a couple of times in the spread. I like Tulane. I think they can get, they can handle that option.

[Dave]

Dave, I'm gonna take the points. Navy's one loss. Notre Dame kind of could see that coming. Other than that, they've been really good. So I, I, I think this will be a close, high scoring game on a take. You know what? Give me the Navy and the over.

[Pat]

Navy and the over. Okay.

[Dave]

What's the actual total?

[Pat]

53 and a half.

[Dave]

Yeah. All right. Navy and the over.

[Pat]

All right, Next up, Big 12 chaos. It is every like there's so many teams that if Colorado slips up are still alive.

[Rico]

Kansas State still alive.

[Pat]

Kansas State's still alive. I mean West Virginia is still alive.

[Rico]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Somehow that's crazy.

[Pat]

Yeah, they're are they, they have two losses.

[Dave]

I mean they would need only has two losses.

[Pat]

Two losses in conference. Excuse me. Two losses in conference. They there I was trying to do the like playoff predictor or the predictor for the Big 12 and I did find a formula where West Virginia, I believe could still make it because, but.

[Rico]

They'Re in a tough spot. They lost to Iowa State and Kansas State.

[Pat]

Right. They would need Kansas State and Iowa State to catch another loss and Colorado to catch one or two losses. So a lot has to happen. But Arizona State plays Kansas State this weekend. So if they beat them.

[Dave]

Right.

[Pat]

That's, that's huge. Yeah. Arizona State's alive. I believe West Virginia is still alive. Kansas State, Iowa State, obviously still alive. It's a crazy conference. It's a crazy conference. And the. The best team, which we'll get to or I'll get to is I think Kansas is playing the best ball right now. Like they're. They. They put it on Iowa State. Was Iowa State. Yeah, they put it on Iowa State.

[Rico]

Yeah, they are playing good.

[Pat]

Okay, so Kansas State -9 and a half over under 50 and a half. With all that said, I'm going to take Kansas State here. I think their run defense is going to show up. I think they have a special teams, elite special teams. I like Arizona State. I like the coach. He's a stoolie. But I think this is a game. Kansas State shows up.

[Rico]

Rico, I'll take Kansas State as well.

[Pat]

Okay. Your guys.

[Rico]

Those are my guys. Yeah. I'm rooting for them. I think they can still. This is what they do. They make that rally to the conference and they'll take care of business at home. It's a different element than Manhattan. I think they take care of it.

[Pat]

Okay, Dave.

[Dave]

For sure. Big home field advantage. But I'll take the points. I'll take the points. It's a lot of point. What's it, nine?

[Pat]

Yeah. Nine and a half.

[Dave]

Yeah. So give me the points. I don't love it. Again, I keep repeating myself. Won't be live bullets, but I'll take the points here.

[Pat]

Okay, Next game. Mizzou at South Carolina. Ranked and ranked. Mizzou is still alive. Their coach said it afterwards. South Carolina's -12 over under 44 and a half. Did you guys see the end of Oklahoma? Mizzou, yes.

[Rico]

No. Was on bad.

[Pat]

Okay. So I had Oklahoma. This is basically how my season's going. Oklahoma was up at half. Oklahoma was then with about four minutes left.

[Dave]

What was that? Were they minus three or plus three?

[Pat]

They were minus like two and a half. I think I had them at Oklahoma was down seven to. With like four minutes left. So I'm like, I lost. You know, I'm considering it a loss. Oklahoma scores a touchdown. Next drive. Mizzou fumble, scoop and score. So there's two and a half minutes left.

[Dave]

So now you're up seven.

[Pat]

I'm up seven. I now have one of those wins that I just never get. Haven't gotten all year. I'm great. Is awesome. Mizzou drives. Mizzou has like a third and forever converts it. Mizzou scores. It's now tied with a minute and a half left. I'm like, all right, that sucks. But whatever we're going to go to overtime. Next possession, Oklahoma fumbles, Mizzou scoop and score. It switched from Oklahoma down seven to up seven to Oklahoma losing by seven in like four minutes. It was insane. Insane.

[Dave]

Having one of those years.

[Pat]

It's one of those. It was one of those, Dave, is one of those games where I wasn't watching it. I was, I was following on, on, on like the score and I thought there was a glitch because, like, there's no way. I thought Oklahoma's touchdown was a glitch. I thought Mizzou's touchdown was a glitch. I was like, this is glitch. There's no way. And just having one of those years. Can't catch one. Cut. Thought I caught one. All right, so this game.

[Rico]

A lot of points.

[Pat]

A lot of points. South Carolina's playing so good, though.

[Rico]

Yeah, I know. I'm gonna take Missouri though. 12 points. You are in a big spot. I buy into the line. What? Yeah, I buy into the coach. 12 points is a lot of points. I'll take the 12.

[Pat]

All right. I'm going to lay the number. I, I'm, I'm, I've been on South Carolina. I had him last week against Vandy. I had him the week before against, against. Who was that? Texas A and M. Yeah. So I'm, I'm going to stick with that. Dave, what do you got?

[Dave]

I'm taking South Carolina. I think Missouri stinks. I think they fucking stink. So I will take South Carolina. I think they win this game big.

[Rico]

All right, let's take a break from the games to tell you about our friends at Amazon. Thursday Night Football is on and it's only on prime video.

[Pat]

Okay. Last game, biggest game, Tennessee at Georgia. Georgia -10 over unders 48 and a half. Nico possibly out in concussion protocol.

[Rico]

I thought I saw. Expected to play.

[Pat]

Expected to play. Let's look it up. Let's look it up. Let's get this wrong. But why don't you start? Rico, what do you think about this game?

[Rico]

The line screams Georgia. It does bounce back. Hanging on by a thread after a big loss. Kirby Smart, like, rally the troops.

[Dave]

That guy on Georgia. Oh, celebrating Ole Miss is one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.

[Pat]

Craziest. Did you see this?

[Dave]

And he's still on the team?

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

You got to throw them off.

[Dave]

Yeah, you have to throw him off.

[Pat]

Kirby Smart even said it. He was like, that was just so stupid. He's like, that was just so.

[Rico]

Did he give a rationale of why.

[Dave]

He went to high school with.

[Pat]

Yeah, he said it was people he hadn't seen in forever, bro. Yeah.

[Rico]

Do it afterwards in a whole. Say hello and like, whatever, but like, you don't do it on the field.

[Dave]

Jesus Christ had a good player.

[Pat]

No, he. I mean, he was a transfer. I think he was at Alabama before.

[Dave]

What are you doing, transfer? If you stink, why are you transferring from, like, Alabama? Georgia?

[Pat]

Yeah, I. I want to get that right. Hold on.

[Dave]

He's from Buford. I know he's from Buford somewhere. That's like. He saw his friends. But that, that guy, that. That's a Beyond a football play. That's like, you gotta worry about this guy out in the public. Like anybody that stupid is capable of anything at any time anywhere.

[Rico]

Leaking a playbook, everything. Transfer from Bay.

[Pat]

It's transfer for Bama. So I had it right. He does not play. He does not play a lot. I don't think he's. I don't know if he even has a stat this year. So. Yeah, he's.

[Dave]

That guy's a crazy. That guy's a psychopath.

[Pat]

Yeah. And especially. Especially if you're not playing too. That's like, to me, that's way, way worse. Like, if you're. If you're a Georgia, it's bad no matter what. But if you're like a Georgia player who like, played every snap and gave their guts for their team and played their heart out. Still bad, but at least you're contributing to the team. He's not contributing to the team. And then he does that.

[Dave]

I think it's equally, equally preposterous whether you play. Don't play. I can see it. Arg. I. It's just. That's why college sports, like, you see something you've never seen. Quite literally a player on the opposing team celebrating with the team that, like, happily celebrating with the team that rushed the field. Insane.

[Pat]

Insane. Okay, so you're.

[Rico]

I'M gonna take Georgia.

[Pat]

You're gonna take Georgia? Dave, what are you gonna do?

[Dave]

I'm gonna take Georgia. Here, listen. At this point in the season, Georgia is what Georgia is to me, which is not great. Throughout that Texas game and like, that kind of reshifted because they smoke Texas, but they've lost twice. They struggled Vandy. Kentucky. I. But I don't think Tennessee is any good. So I, I don't know. I'm gonna take Georgia, but it's another game that really is tough. I'll take Georgia. It's more an indictment on Tennessee than me being like, oh, Georgia will bounce back because they're Georgia. No, I don't think Georgia's. Georgia is what it is this year. And that quarterback's horrible.

[Pat]

Yeah, I'm gonna take Georgia. Minus 10, two. Yeah. Carson Beck is, Is bad. It's. I, I, he's just. I, he just makes the wrong decision. I feel like five times a game.

[Dave]

Where it's just, it's just they, you know, Stetson. Bennett.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Where was good.

[Pat]

And Bennett, by the way, I'm rooting for.

[Dave]

I think he's in rehab, actually.

[Pat]

Okay. Before we do our cards, we're not going to do that. He do this here. But you guys got to get together soon.

[Rico]

Yeah.

[Dave]

How long are you there for?

[Rico]

I'm out tonight.

[Dave]

Oh, too bad.

[Pat]

Switch it.

[Rico]

What time's he getting in? But he's got, he's got things to do today.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Dave]

Yeah, I do.

[Pat]

Yeah, he does.

[Rico]

I mean, maybe I'll just pick up the phone right after this.

[Dave]

Yeah, I won't. I won't pick it up. I'm. I gotta get packed and get going.

[Pat]

All right.

[Dave]

We'll talk. We'll figure out.

[Pat]

We got it.

[Dave]

There's nothing to worry about.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Rico]

Okay.

[Pat]

Year to year. But it's. You're good.

[Rico]

Yeah. Like really good.

[Dave]

You have a job. Yeah.

[Rico]

Okay.

[Pat]

How good?

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Rico]

You were doing.

[Pat]

Do we have a good year? I think we had a great year.

[Dave]

Well, the show got canceled. That's not a great year when your prime show is canceled.

[Pat]

I forgot about that.

[Rico]

He canceled it.

[Pat]

But yeah.

[Jack]

You also made him do four shows a week and that.

[Dave]

Because it was low.

[Pat]

That's true. I said, I said.

[Dave]

Oh.

[Pat]

I said start smaller. I did. When you asked me for advice on that.

[Rico]

That's where it's hard when you guys give two different opinions. Because my new thing is listen to everything. But when you guys give two sides.

[Dave]

It'S like paralysis by analysis.

[Rico]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat]

I should have put my foot down.

[Rico]

More I got the GM and the co and the owner, you know what I mean? A couple med streams too.

[Dave]

Just for the record, that's also.

[Pat]

Come on, Jack.

[Rico]

Missed a met stream, a match stream. I think it was two.

[Dave]

But I noticed that Meek Phil was. Was putting in big time work during the Yankees World Series that I thought was good.

[Rico]

Phil's the. Phil's the Yankee troll. Phil was. Phil can do it better than anybody. We were there for game three.

[Pat]

Yeah. Phil. My Meek Phil stock.

[Dave]

Yeah.

[Pat]

Through the. Through the roof.

[Dave]

Now that's a guy with a great year.

[Pat]

All right, well, you're good.

[Rico]

It's part of my team, so you'll.

[Pat]

Have a call with him privately. Awesome.

[Rico]

Yeah.

[Jack]

Meek Phil having a good year by. By association means. Rico had it. Like, that's. That's his coaching tree. That's what you're saying.

[Pat]

Yeah. Meek Phil is on Rico's team. He's a rider.

[Dave]

Yeah, we should.

[Pat]

We should actually.

[Dave]

Rico's on Phil's team.

[Pat]

Okay, but we should actually have.

[Rico]

I'll play fulfill.

[Pat]

We should list all the riders and a rider having a good year. Like I had a good year.

[Rico]

Right.

[Pat]

I'm a rider.

[Rico]

Yeah, exactly.

[Pat]

So we should. That should help. Yeah. You know, we marches one.

[Dave]

Yeah. I mean, like I said, we'll. We'll figure. I'm not worried about it. He had a good year.

[Pat]

Great. All right.

[Rico]

That's great.

[Dave]

I mean, he. He had. He did what was like, expected of him. He wasn't a psychopath. So that's the only thing that I'm wrestling with, is rewarding expected behavior.

[Pat]

But that shit is in the past.

[Rico]

They said I couldn't change.

[Pat]

And he's changed. I will be the first to say it.

[Rico]

Dan said he hated my guts.

[Pat]

I did. When he.

[Rico]

And I didn't. I didn't try to punch him when he said that.

[Pat]

When he had the mopey year, I couldn't be around him. He is completely changed.

[Rico]

Dave wants to hang out with me too. Saratoga. Pegasus.

[Pat]

Yeah, that's true, Dave.

[Dave]

That's not true.

[Pat]

Rico took a nap at your house.

[Dave]

Yeah. You invite yourself?

[Rico]

No, no, no, no, no. Pegasus. You said on this program, hey, we're gonna do the whole thing. The boys. You want to come? You invited me. I did not force my way into Pegasus. That should be on the record. Absolutely not.

[Dave]

You said.

[Rico]

All right. Now I have to go pull the tape.

[Pat]

I. I remember it because I was invited to. The problem with Pegasus is always lands around your birthday. Well, not my. I don't give up. So. Shit. About my birthday. It's always the weekend before super bowl week. So it's like going away for a weekend and then. And then being like, all right. And I'm also going away for 10 days. It's hard, right? It's a bad timing for it.

[Dave]

You weren't good. Like, I did not have fun with you at Pegasus.

[Rico]

Elio would say otherwise. He finished.

[Dave]

No, he wouldn't contest you. He. He still talks about how much you slept.

[Rico]

He finished second in the con. All right, I'll have to talk to Elio.

[Pat]

What's up? What is Elio just doing one loser a week now?

[Dave]

Yeah. I mean, Mr. Ice doesn't know what the hell's going on.

[Pat]

I know that I ride with Mr. Ice no matter what. We get the text and I put it in and then I look at it later, and it's one to nothing in the third period.

[Jack]

We gotta get him on. On location more.

[Dave]

Yeah, yeah. It's the only time we won. Yeah, yeah. He's gonna start doing it. He's gonna have to just start living out of a suitcase, going to games.

[Pat]

Do we have the. Do we have the date or the stuff for ice cream?

[Dave]

I don't even know. I don't know. Anybody can afford it. I don't know. I haven't heard.

[Pat]

I heard we have a date, by the way, for the other idea that we had. Dave, you and I had the. That's. That's related to the big event in New York.

[Dave]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Pat]

The Met Gala.

[Dave]

Oh, yeah, I know. We're working on that. I knew we were working.

[Pat]

Yeah, yeah. We have a. We have a big event that's going to be bigger than the Met Gala. It's going to be awesome.

[Rico]

Okay.

[Pat]

Very excited for it. Very excited for it. What is sick? Okay.

[Rico]

Hell of a teaser.

[Pat]

Yeah. Yeah. Wouldn't you say, Dave?

[Dave]

Yeah. It'll be great.

[Pat]

It's going to be great.

[Rico]

All right, let's take a break from the games to tell you about our friends at Rollback. It's safe to say we'd bet on these guys any day of the week because we absolutely love their gear. It's college football season and Rollback is ready. Fresh off their collegiate license. Drop their custom designed polos, hoodies, and Q zips for some of your favorite schools. Roback's performance polos are the only polos we wear. We don't even wear polos that often, but when we do, it's always Roback. They have the most comfortable fabric and best fit. It's that simple. Roback's performance hoodies at the best are the best piece of clothing we own. We can't emphasize how soft these are with great stretch and still breathable. They are simply the best hoodies out there. Odds are if you see us during football season, you will see us in a Roback hoodie. With it being football season, there is not a better short for game day than Robacks everyday shorts. Whether you're going to the game or watching at home, these shorts look nice enough to wear with a polo but have the comfort of an active short with an elastic waistband. There's a reason why college football's biggest names are all wearing Roback. Between Quinn Ewers, Jalen Milroe and Caleb Downs, Roback is all over the best college football players. So use code pick on roback.com for a generous 20 off your first purchase through the end of the week. That's R H O-B-A C-K.com that's 20% of all polos, hoodies, shorts and more with code pick.

[Pat]

Okay, let's do picks. Immortals I'll start. I have everything I just said taking Old Dominion plus three I got Penn State minus 28. I think Penn State's just going to go for smash mouth style points. Against Purdue I have Texas Arkansas over 57 and a half and then I will add some more to my card rico.

[Rico]

Jacksonville State - 14 SMUBC over 53.

[Pat]

1/2 there they've gotten they're going to their backup bc I think so. Yeah, I think I think Tom Brennaman called last game ever for Castle but.

[Rico]

I think SMU is going to score. Oregon minus 14 and a half. Sorry that's what but I think they take care of it.

[Pat]

What do we have? What are you gonna do?

[Rico]

UAB Memphis over 62 and a half.

[Pat]

Okay, save my mortal all right, Dave. All right.

[Dave]

I'm taking a shot this week because I gotta do something. Syracuse plus nine and a half against Cal. I love the Syracuse coach saying he doesn't deserve a shower if they lose. Like you don't deserve to be clean.

[Rico]

I don't deserve soap.

[Dave]

Yeah that that got me on his side. Penn State 28 and a half against Purdue. Is the Florida quarterback back.

[Pat]

Lagway? Let me check.

[Rico]

I don't think so.

[Pat]

He might be cuz I that line is low D.J.

[Dave]

I know. That's what made me think he's back. Whatever. I'm taking Florida plus four and a half at home against LSU Virginia plus 23 against Duke. BC plus 19 against SMU. South Carolina minus 12 against Mizzou. UCLA plus three and a half against Washington. Even though I hate it. Arizona minus one at home against Houston. Ohio minus 28.

[Pat]

What do you like about that game?

[Dave]

I'm just picking games.

[Pat]

Oh, Houston has been playing great football. They're one of those teams that started as bad as bad could get and they've turned it around.

[Dave]

Arizona, though.

[Pat]

Arizona's been bad, but I guess that might work.

[Dave]

I love it even more. I mean, the guy saying he's on the worst season.

[Pat]

I'm the worst. Yeah. No, no, you're right. You're absolutely right.

[Dave]

Ohio minus 28 and a half against Northwestern. PIT plus 10 at home against Clemson. Navy plus seven. We already gave this out. And 53 and a half against Tulane. Over San Jose State plus 13 and a half at home against Boise. Georgia minus 10 against Tennessee. Oregon minus 14 at Wisconsin. BYU minus three at home against Kansas. Over 56 and a half. UNLV minus 20 and a half at home against San Diego State.

[Pat]

Doing it. That was a lot of plays.

[Dave]

I love it. I love it for it. I'm going for it this week. I'm not just going to let the Pat Hill trophy get ripped away without a fight here. So I'm going to go for it this week.

[Pat]

Go for it. I love that. I'm going to also go for it. It with about 100 ads on Saturday. All right, all right, all right. Mortals. I. My mortal is. I think this is a week BYU trips up. I'm taking Kansas plus three.

[Rico]

This could get.

[Dave]

I feel like you said that a couple times already this year.

[Rico]

Well, complicated by taking byu.

[Pat]

Okay, well, then we can. We can add. So add Ebo to the parlay. You guys go parlay and then put Ebo in. All right. He's been. He's 9 and 2. No, I said I took Utah last week. I thought that that was the spot. I mean, it basically was. And yeah, I think BYU looking at the last three games on their schedule, I think they'll lose at least one. So. Yeah, I'm taking my shot, Hank.

[Jack]

Best friend play Nebraska plus 8 and a half.

[Dave]

Congrats on the. On the new kid.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jack]

No, Dana Holgerson.

[Pat]

Oh, Dana Holgerson is now coaching. Yeah, that's not Will. That's Coach Dana. He's calling the plays now for Nebraska.

[Dave]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Pat]

Yeah.

[Jack]

But congrats to Will, too.

[Pat]

Yeah, congrats.

[Rico]

Congrats to Will.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Rico]

Zupy Boise minus 13 and a half.

[Pat]

Okay.

[Rico]

South Carolina, minus 12 and a half. EBO is SMUBC over. Nice.

[Pat]

All right, Add that to my card as well.

[Rico]

Nice.

[Pat]

And then, Dave, you're mortal.

[Dave]

South Carolina minus 12, along with Jack Mac there.

[Pat]

Okay. All right. Good show, boys. All right, we got anything else? I think that was good.

[Rico]

Got the bet. The bets on the table.

[Pat]

That's good. And you're gonna give me a call at some point in the next couple days.

[Jack]

Do you still have bitcoin, Dave? I forget how that ended up. Ended up.

[Dave]

I do, but not nearly as many. I probably lost, like, I don't know. Million. Million and a half. I. We have. Well, we. 14. I have 14 bitcoins.

[Pat]

So that's what. That's.

[Dave]

It's like 1.4 million, basically, at this point.

[Pat]

That's some good bitcoin.

[Dave]

Yeah, it's bad bitcoin. I should have more. I should have bought. I was ready to buy 2 million for Barstool. If it got into the 40s and it. I. It went. Or 30s. I can't remember which one. I think it was 40s. It went down into the 40s. I transferred the money into Kraken to buy it, and then it went back up, and I just waited for it to go back down. It never did. So it cost all parts.

[Jack]

As the owner, Dave, would you. Would you do negotiations in bitcoin, like some of these pro teams?

[Dave]

Oh, yeah, like Kraken.

[Rico]

We.

[Dave]

We took payment for kraken and bitcoin.

[Pat]

Rico, would you.

[Jack]

No, but like, for.

[Pat]

If.

[Jack]

Like, if. If, like Rico's contracting, I want half in bitcoin.

[Dave]

Yeah. Yeah. Makes absolutely no difference to me.

[Rico]

I would talk to an advisor, but. Yeah, that seems like a potential.

[Dave]

I'm sure that would work out great with Bosco. If we did that and then bitcoin went down, I'm sure he'd handle that well.

[Pat]

Yeah. You can't do that. No, you can't. You can't have that stress. That would. That would cripple you.

[Dave]

I don't know why anybody won't do it in bitcoin. What. Like, it's the same. It's. It's money. So, yeah, bitcoin.

[Pat]

Russell Kung did it, and he made, like, $55 million.

[Dave]

The only thing that worries me about our company as a whole is I'm not sure that 80 of it. Understand, it could go down.

[Pat]

Right, right, right.

[Jack]

If it goes down and then they. They're asking for more money.

[Pat]

Yeah. They're like, where's my.

[Dave]

Yeah, well, I made. I made. Yeah, I made 20. 20 cents last year. Well, yeah, that's. That's on you. Like, it costs us the same, so.

[Pat]

Yeah. Okay, good, guys. We'll see everyone next week.

[Dave]

All right, bye.
