Episode Overview

In this episode, Bobby Bones shares a candid update on his recovery from ankle surgery and opens up about the challenges of pain management and adjusting to temporary immobility, especially with his pregnant wife at home. The crew reviews the latest (and lackluster) college and NFL action, and Bobby reads out listeners’ feedback—both good and hilariously offbeat—to Eddie on his recent interview segment.
CBS Sports’ Brandon Marcello joins to break down college football headlines: Texas A&M’s unexpected strength, the status of key coaching vacancies, what’s happening with Jon Gruden, and the still-murky Heisman race. As always, banter, betting tales, and a touch of sports gossip round out the episode.

Main Topics & Discussion Highlights

1. Bobby's Ankle Surgery: Pain, Recovery, & Home Life

[04:57–11:45]

• Life After Surgery:
  Bobby talks about the discomfort and struggle of post-surgery life. He’s propped up in a chair, avoiding painkillers so he can record coherently, and comments on the emotional toll of forced inactivity.
  • “If [my leg] goes down for five seconds, it hurts so bad. This is the first day I haven’t taken pain medicine, so it’s been killing me all day.” (Bobby, 05:18)
• Pain Management Concerns:
  He voices a real fear of addiction and explains his approach: using pain meds for sleep, not steady relief, and regrets skipping them for the podcast:
  • “The doctor was like, ‘If you let it start hurting, it’s hard to get it to not hurt.’ And I’ve been chasing it all day.” (Bobby, 05:56)
• Comedy in Recovery:
  Eddie jokes about the tiny “get well” balloon, and they riff on the absurdity of hospital rituals—from being scared people would see him naked to “donating organs” scenario before routine orthopedic surgery.

2. Home Logistics: Wife’s Pregnancy, Crutches Innovation, & Shoe Mishaps

[06:40–09:28]

• Bobby and his pregnant wife navigate disability together—she’s handling chores, and Bobby describes three “modes of transportation:” crutches (painful), a knee scooter (“the rollie”), and a knee-resting prosthetic.
  • “Captain Hook would be jealous of that [prosthetic]. That’s the number one draft pick!” (Eddie & Bobby, 08:21)
• Humorous shoe predicament: “I can’t find either shoe. Been wearing flip-flops on my good foot… It’s cold now and I’m freezing.” (Bobby, 09:01)

3. Addiction Fears & Pop Culture Tangents

[10:27–11:15]

• They discuss celebrity stories (Matthew Perry, Brett Favre) to highlight the dangers of painkiller addiction, with a comic turn about hospital photos and surgical prep:
  • “I put a picture on Instagram, and it feels way more serious than just ankle surgery once they got you strapped in, reading you your last rites.” (Bobby, 11:19)

4. Sports Talk: Weekend Games, Betting, & Viral Craps Story

[24:22–27:44]

• Football Roundup:
  Both lament the dull weekend (“not really a great weekend for football” – Bobby, 24:24), no Razorbacks or Cowboys games, and commiserate over college basketball loss.
• Legendary Craps Roll:
  Bobby relays an Atlantic City story about a grandma rolling dice for 4 hours, 18 minutes, not losing once:
  • “The odds of that happening were 1 in 1.56 trillion.” (Bobby, 27:12)
  • The duo jokes about the chaos of people unable to leave a “hot table” and the social friction that must’ve followed.

5. Scandal Updates: Sports Betting & MLB Pitcher Investigation

[27:44–31:34]

• Bobby and Eddie dissect the firing of Mark Sanchez and the developing story of Cleveland Guardians pitchers allegedly taking $5,000 per thrown ball for gambling purposes, marveling at the high stakes involved even for multimillion-dollar athletes.
• Discussion of increased transparency in gambling, now that it’s legal, and Eddie’s lighthearted conspiracy theory about UFC betting.

6. Eddie’s NASCAR Interview Feedback

[31:36–33:54]

• Bobby reads DM’d reviews, some nitpicky (“The voice he was using was definitely pedo. Edo.”), others supportive:
  • “Eddie did a great job... brought in the human side, which was fun and not too technical.” (Listener, 33:27)
• Eddie takes critiques with good humor: “I'll take a solid B.”

College Football Deep Dive with Brandon Marcello

[41:09–59:54]

Key Segments

Texas A&M’s Surprise Season

[41:40–42:41]

• A&M’s success attributed to talented recruiting and strong trench play.
  • “They’re undefeated… a complete flip from what previous regimes have been in College Station.” (Brandon, 41:40)

Rankings & Playoff Picture

[42:41–43:35]

• Brandon slots A&M behind Indiana and Ohio State, citing defense:
  • “A&M’s defense is just kind of average… they’ve got to improve.” (Brandon, 42:48)

Missouri’s Struggles

[43:35–44:45]

• Missouri can’t seize big games, playing with a third-string QB.

Auburn Post-Coaching Change

[44:45–46:43]

• Both emotion and talent uplifted Auburn post-firing, but defensive lapses remain troublesome.

Coaching Carousel Watch

[46:43–56:15]

• DJ Durkin is considered for Auburn, but not a frontrunner behind John Sumrall.
• Luke Fickell stays at Wisconsin; Bob Chesney (James Madison), Eric Morris, Colin Klein are rising names.
• Pat Fitzgerald (ex-Northwestern) may resurface soon.

Jon Gruden’s Prospects

[56:15–57:37]

• “I haven’t heard his name come up even among top three candidates… If he really wants college, he’ll have to start in a group of six.” (Brandon, 56:34)

The Heisman Race: Dull Year, Unpredictable Picture

[57:37–59:54]

• Unlikely for a defensive player to win. Favorite is Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), with Marcel Reed (A&M) as contender.
  • “This has probably been the dullest Heisman Trophy race in recent memory.” (Brandon, 58:41)
• Transfer portal, NIL money, and unpredictable results make preseason projections inaccurate.

Quick Takes & End-of-Show Banter

[65:12–80:09]

NFL, Fantasy, and College Basketball

• Cowboys and Razorbacks had bye weeks, so the vibe was subdued.
• College basketball: Razorbacks lose but Bobby is optimistic given their tough schedule:
  • “I think Cal (head coach) has scheduled every Elite Eight team from last year… No one’s ever done that.” (Bobby, 66:25)

Parlay Bets & Betting Superstitions

• Eddie claims to have bet successfully after seeing an “S-shaped cloud” in the sky—interpreted as a sign for Sam Houston State.
  • “God’s telling me to bet Sam Houston State.” (Eddie, 72:00)

Kids’ Sports Tryouts Drama

• Eddie recounts the secretive, tense process of his son’s basketball tryouts (“weird, secretive, tape on the windows”), and the awkwardness of not knowing who made the cut due to a cryptic parent email.

Other Memorable Moments

• Bobby mentions cherry barbecue sauce as an aside while distracted from pain, and the group dissolves into comic free association.
• Humorous takes on the slow pace of Big Ten football (“the more white people per 11, the slower you are” – Bobby, 66:59).
• Light grumbling about the Bears winning despite being “bad” and the drama of late-game bets on Christian McCaffrey.

---

Notable Quotes & Timestamps

• Bobby on refusing pain meds for the show:
  “I took no pain medicine, and the doctor was like, ‘If you get behind, it’s going to kill you.’ And I’ve been chasing it all day.” (05:56)

• Brandon on Texas A&M’s resurgence:
  “They’re undefeated… a complete flip from what previous regimes have been in College Station.” (41:40)

• Bobby on big craps table runs:
  “You are a unit at that moment… it’s memorable. Because it’s all winning.” (25:28)

• Listener on Eddie’s interview:
  “The voice he was using was definitely pedo. Edo… but he did stutter a few times. Nothing bad.” (32:39–33:23)

• Brandon on Jon Gruden:
  “I haven’t heard his name come up… if he really wants to be a college football coach, that’s probably how he’s going to have to start things.” (56:34)

• Brandon on the Heisman race:
  “I think this has probably been the dullest Heisman Trophy race in recent memory that I can remember.” (58:41)

[Eddie]

This is a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

Talking football and they all wear a whistle yet Stupid. But why did you expect It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. 25 Whistles. Hey, blow the whistle. Thank you. I got my get well balloon here from Eddie.

[Eddie]

Is this smaller than you expected?

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't expect a balloon so I would say it's larger than I expected because I expected nothing.

[Eddie]

Well, I went to the store and I'm like I'm gonna get him a big balloon cuz they sell like huge ones. Then I saw that, I'm like that's even funnier.

[Bobby Bones]

Or did you go that's even cheaper?

[Eddie]

Well and cheaper. It's a tiny little balloon that says get well. Yeah, get well buddy. Gosh dude, this is crazy. It's the first time I've seen you since Your surgery.

[Bobby Bones]

So I had surgery last week. I currently have my leg up in a director's chair because I can't. If it goes down for, like, five seconds, it hurts so bad, the blood down to it. This is the first day I haven't taken pain medicine, so it's been killing me all day. What hurts?

[Eddie]

Your whole foot or where the. Where the surgery was?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know. It all throbs. Like, I don't know that I have a way to differentiate it, but because we had to work recording this on Sunday night, I took no pain medicine all day today.

[Eddie]

Just because you want to, like, not do it. You want to show yourself you can.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I didn't want to come on and not be able to talk.

[Eddie]

Oh, oh. Because it messes you up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Big time.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

So I took no pain medicine, and the doctor was like, hey, I highly recommend you take your pain medicine. I said, yeah, but I got these shows I got to do. And he's like, I'm telling you, if you get behind, it's going to kill you. And I didn't know what he meant. Like, if you allow it to start hurting, it's hard to get it to not hurt. And I've been chasing it all day.

[Eddie]

Oh, no.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, it's been killing me, man.

[Eddie]

You should have just stayed on the medicine. That would have been fun. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know me. Not how I vibe, but, yeah, we. You know, we've been hanging out the house. I've done nothing. I'm just sitting down crazy. Because it's nice to be able to sit and do nothing when you want to do nothing.

[Eddie]

Correct.

[Bobby Bones]

It drives you crazy when you can do nothing whenever you have the option.

[Eddie]

And you have the option to go do something. Right. But you choose to do nothing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I can't. I have no options. And my wife's pregnant, so it's like, we're not. Neither one of us are, like, at our height right now.

[Eddie]

So who. Oh, God. So. So does the like. Hey, will you go get me up?

[Bobby Bones]

She's been very proactive on getting everything.

[Eddie]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

So she's like, this week because the doctor's like, this is going to be a bad week for you. She's like, this week, I'll handle it all. And so I try not to ask too much, and sometimes I just get up. Like, taking the dogs out is hard. That's tough because we have a bulldog that likes to run off in the woods. He won't come back. And he likes to, like, dive bomb and poop. Like, he's like to run and just dive in it. So then that means we have to clean them up, so we have to go out with them.

[Eddie]

And.

[Bobby Bones]

And I have three, like, modes of transportation. I have normal crutches, which suck.

[Eddie]

Oh, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

They have bruised up. So there's your armpit, the back of your armpit where those crutches go in. They have bruised that up so bad. So that's sensitive to the touch.

[Eddie]

You would think that with technology, they'd make better crutches.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, they did. The other two things that I have.

[Eddie]

Ah, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

They're just not crutches. I have one of those wheelies, and it's a. It's a cart, and you put your leg on it.

[Eddie]

I've seen those.

[Bobby Bones]

A couple things with that one. We don't wear shoes in our house. So I don't take that thing out of the house. Because if I take it out of the house, the dirt, it's just like wearing shoes in the house.

[Eddie]

It's the same rule at the roller skating rink. If you have skates that have been outside, you cannot bring them in.

[Bobby Bones]

And that was her. That's her law. Roller skate rink rules in the house.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I use that to get around the house. But we have stairs even on the bottom floor, which that's very difficult. So I can, like, roll her to a certain point. And then I have what is, like the prosthetic. So you bend your leg back and you put your knee in it, and you have, like, this fake foot.

[Eddie]

That thing is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

So overall, that's the number one.

[Eddie]

Like, Captain Hook would be jealous of that thing.

[Bobby Bones]

That is the most useful. He had arm.

[Eddie]

Okay, my bad. A pirate with the peg leg.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's number one draft pick. But it's not the easiest. The easiest is the rolly. You can just use this in more places, and it's easier to drive around with.

[Eddie]

Dude, have you. This is a stupid question. Have you put a shoe on that?

[Bobby Bones]

No.

[Eddie]

You're going to need to put a shoe on it.

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's not. No. I'm not trying to make people think it's a real leg.

[Eddie]

You know how, like, people with prosthetics, they put a shoe on the big leg, you got to put a shoe on that.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, so here's the problem is that I've only been wearing one shoe on my good foot.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

I can't find either shoe. Now, like, even. Even walking down here, I get that because I've been wearing flip flops or, like, A sandal type thing on my good foot. I can't find either shoe because I split them apart and I don't know where they are. So it's cold now and I'm freezing. I'm coming down. I have all these stairs to come down, and I got no shoe on my foot. I'm cold. My foot's freezing. It's got rocks in the bottom of it. That's my good foot. It sucks, man.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I hope in two and a half months or so when I can use my foot and ankle again, because it's been bothering me for two years that it will have been worth it. But right now it sucks.

[Eddie]

It'll be worth it. Are you at the point now where it's like, you start feeling. You start thinking of all the things that you can do because you only have one good foot.

[Bobby Bones]

Not yet, because it's only been the weekend and it's only been. And I've had pain medicine the whole time.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I really thought about not taking any pain medicine because I don't want to get addicted. I have a fear, probably a bit irrational, with some rational mixed in that I will take one pill and the next thing you know, I need it for the rest of my life every hour. And I took it because the doctor was like, you need to take the pain pills. It's going to be a nightmare for you if you don't. And so I took it, and it didn't make me feel any certain way. It just made me go to sleep. So I was like, cool, no problem. I didn't take it every eight hours like he suggested. I just took it to go to sleep, and then I took it. If it started hurting bad today, I should have taken it.

[Eddie]

What are you taking? You know what it's called Percocet.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's. Nothing's called Percocet.

[Eddie]

I try to go off the dome on that one.

[Bobby Bones]

It is hydrocodone.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. That's the good stuff.

[Bobby Bones]

So I don't know if that's like a version of Percocet. I don't know which one's generic. I don't know enough about it.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's crazy. So, like, yeah, man. You start thinking of Matthew Perry. I mean, that's how, like, a lot of those addictions started.

[Brandon Marcelo]

He.

[Eddie]

You know how he. He got addicted? He. On the set of Fools Rush in, he got in a accident on Jet Ski. And then some. Some, like, doctor on set was like, here, man, take these. That's it.

[Bobby Bones]

I think that was Brett Favre's problem. I think he had a pain pill addiction because he had hurt himself so bad playing ball.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And was addicted to pain pills. I'm trying not to go down there.

[Eddie]

Don't let it start, dude. Not what I put.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm trying.

[Eddie]

Not with your foot.

[Bobby Bones]

It's so weird because I put a picture up on Instagram of me in the hospital bed. It feels a lot more serious than just ankle surgery. Whenever you're actually in, they have you strapped in. They're reading you your last rites. The priest shows up. Like, everything. It's like, for legal reasons, they have to make sure everything is covered.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They got. They're testing blood pressure. They're drawing blood. They got clips on things in case something goes wrong. Pull this. Say this. Here's the magic word. Here's the safe word.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So you're doing. It takes like, an hour and a half to even go in. And again, I went in and I had what they thought was a hole in my cartilage that gotten so wide they were going to have to put some cadaver cartilage in. Turns out there's a little more damage than they thought. Not much, but a little more damage than they thought. But they gave me the riot act, like I was about to go in for open heart surgery.

[Eddie]

Hold on. They told you this after the fact or they told. How did they know that something was different before they even went into.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, no, no. They told me after. Oh, they give you all these images of the surgery once they were in.

[Eddie]

There and looked at it all. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They were like, here's what we thought. This is it. Also, this had to be cleaned up. We found another small hole here. We did the cadaver cartilage there. There you go.

[Eddie]

Did you get information on whose cart you got?

[Bobby Bones]

Nah.

[Eddie]

You didn't ask?

[Bobby Bones]

Nah. Felt like that'd be weird.

[Eddie]

I'd be like, I don't know, dude. I have no idea.

[Bobby Bones]

I have to find their family for Christmas and invite them over. I didn't want to know for. For my own lazy sake.

[Eddie]

Thanksgiving.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I didn't want to have to, like, have a new relationship.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I didn't ask.

[Eddie]

Then. Then go to throw the first pitch of the game. Like, here they are. They're meeting for the first.

[Bobby Bones]

And then what if I didn't like them and they wanted it back?

[Eddie]

Right, right, right.

[Brandon Marcelo]

So.

[Eddie]

So what was the. The whole process is, like, in and out, finished.

[Bobby Bones]

The show went up. They said they would give me the last Surgery of the day. Because I said I had to work in the morning. And so they were like, so be here at 10:45. And I'm like, dang, that's cutting it close. Last surgery of the day.

[Eddie]

Somebody's going to go play golf.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, exactly. So I finished the show. We did not do a part two on Friday because of that on the Bobby Bowen Show. Drove right over. And they make you sign all these forms, and it's like, if something goes wrong in surgery, do you want to donate your organs now? On my card, I'm already an organ donor.

[Eddie]

And your license.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I don't know why they asked again. So I went to my wife and I was like, remember those stories about how people that write. Yes. If they're on the brink of death, they don't save them so they can donate them? Yeah. I was like, maybe. Maybe there. She's like, just sign yes.

[Eddie]

She's like, shut up.

[Bobby Bones]

Just sign yes. If something happens, you'll donate your organs. And so they walk me to the back, and so they're like, okay, put this gown on. And I'm so fearful they're gonna look at my wiener when I'm asleep anyway.

[Eddie]

Of course, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I'm out.

[iHeart Advertising Representative]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But they let me keep my underwear on.

[Eddie]

Oh, good, good.

[Bobby Bones]

So they were like, you can take everything off except for your underwear. And I was like, great.

[Eddie]

Because wouldn't you, like, if you were working in that, like, wouldn't you, like school?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I wouldn't. Without a doubt. No. Without a doubt, I wouldn't.

[Eddie]

Depends on who it is. I think I might.

[Brandon Marcelo]

I don't know. You would.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so. So I made the joke. Should I have written with a Sharpie?

[Eddie]

Yes, on the right leg.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, don't cut this one. Or do cut this one.

[Eddie]

This is the one.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

He said people do that. I'm sure my doctor did. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Because of the stories of people that don't do that. And then they end up chopping off the wrong leg.

[Bobby Bones]

They check you, like, four times to make sure it's the right leg. Even before they put anything in you.

[Eddie]

What do they say?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, first they put a bracelet on you, and they put it on my right arm, and they put it on the opposite of the one they're supposed to cut.

[Eddie]

Oh, see, that's confusing to me.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I guess they don't want. I guess they don't want to bump into it.

[Eddie]

Like, once you get opposites in, I'm like, no, no, no, guys. Left, left, left, left.

[Bobby Bones]

Like and they're like, so which leg will we be working on? And I'm like, left. Great, great. Now which one again? They're trying to catch me in a lie.

[Eddie]

No, it's a left cross examination. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

So then the, the gas.

[DraftKings Pick Six Advertiser]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

The. The anesthesiologist comes in who's normal looking.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, very normal. Why?

[Eddie]

My experience, not. Not really normal looking people.

[Bobby Bones]

What kind of person does that to you?

[Eddie]

Like, just, they look like they haven't seen the sun in a while.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, interesting.

[Eddie]

Like, you know, there's a certain kind of person that's. That. That does that. And they always seem a little different to me.

[Bobby Bones]

Like hippie?

[Eddie]

No, Dracula. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Gothy. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Like pale.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I heard the pale part when you said no sun.

[Eddie]

A pale.

[Bobby Bones]

But like, what would their hobbies be?

[Eddie]

Reading.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Well, I would hope any anesthesiologist, like.

[Eddie]

Reads for fun in a dark room.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, just like, you're very Bram Stroker right now. That's for sure. Dracula.

[Eddie]

I don't know. I've only done it like a handful of times. But every time it's a weird, interesting looking person.

[Bobby Bones]

The person was as normal as could be.

[Eddie]

Good.

[Bobby Bones]

And he was like, hey, you can't roll out here with your glasses on. And I said, well, as soon as I wake up, like, I can't see. So he put my glasses in his pocket. I thought that was super nice of him. I don't remember getting them back, but I did get them back because they recorded a video of me. I don't remember that video even being taken. And they're like, okay, so they put a couple. They put the needle on my hand iv and so they're like, you're not gonna remember anything. And from that point, nothing. I just remember waking up.

[Eddie]

No way.

[Bobby Bones]

Nothing.

[Eddie]

And did they do a countdown or anything or just. That's crazy, dude. That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

They might have done a countdown, but I don't remember. Yeah, I remember when I was 5 years old and I had to go to the hospital, I'd rupture my spleen. Very serious. I remember the mask and the countdown that they put on me. That's one of my first memories is a mask going over my head. And they're like, we're going to count you back from 100. You're going into surgery. 99 gone.

[Eddie]

You mean to 99.

[Bobby Bones]

And I don't remember this one at all. Wow. So rolled out. And the doctor's like, here's how it's gonna be. It's gonna be a couple months, maybe even three months before you have it again.

[Eddie]

This is post. Post surgery.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Did it hurt immediately?

[Bobby Bones]

No. Because you're out. It didn't hurt at all. Even yesterday because I was on pain medicine.

[Eddie]

Really?

[Bobby Bones]

Today it really got me.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Because you decided not to take your pain.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. And I was like, oh, I can move around a little now. Oh, no, it's day.

[Eddie]

What'd you do?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's. It's. And I sat at the bar and let my feet hang.

[Eddie]

The bar in your kitchen?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Not. No.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What did this thing do to you? When I watch some games, I didn't.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched a bunch of college football, obviously I gotta tell you, not really a great weekend for football.

[Eddie]

Not really.

[Bobby Bones]

Just in general.

[Eddie]

And your Razorbacks weren't playing.

[Bobby Bones]

They weren't playing. But we, we didn't lose. We played basketball. We lost. I saw that.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That sucked.

[Eddie]

Yeah. That's a close game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it was a good game. It gets a good team, but it just wasn't, like, the most football. Fascinating weekend. His college was fine. NFL.

[Eddie]

I'm g. Tell you, not much. Not much going on. Cowboys aren't playing.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Not much to look forward to.

[Bobby Bones]

Have a crappy weekend.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, that's what's up. I'm here, though.

[Eddie]

You're here. You're alive.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And you're gonna get well soon.

[Bobby Bones]

I pulled a story because when we go to Vegas, we're not as good as we once were, but we could be that good one more time if we needed to. As Toby Keith said.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so I love to play craps. If I play again. I don't play much. When I was younger, I played a lot. I played a lot of blackjack, a lot of poker, some craps. And if you can get on a hot craps table, it is the greatest feeling, because all these people you've never met, you'll never spend another five minutes with the rest of your life. You have nothing in common with, but you are a unit at that moment.

[Eddie]

You guys are having the time of your life.

[Bobby Bones]

There's a real connection. You're giving hugs, high fives, and it's hard to catch a hot craps table, but when you do, it's memorable.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's all winning. The thing about craps is, easy come, easy go. You can sit down with a few hundred bucks and it can be gone so quick. Or if you hit just for a bit, you can be up so much. And I read this story. A grandma named Patricia Demario walked into the Brigade in Atlantic City. She had 100 bucks, just her and a friend. She broke a world record. She finally got the dice when it came to her, they went back and looked at the security footage afterward. She rolled 154 times over 4 hours and 18 minutes.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

Without losing.

[Washable Sofas Advertiser]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

It was the longest craps roll ever. She rolled for over four hours without hitting a seven.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Except on the come out roll, of course.

[Eddie]

Of course. Crap crapping out or whatever.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you imagine the joy at this table, Dude?

[Eddie]

And then. And then, like, after 30 minutes, maybe 15 minutes, you're thinking, all right, here we go. We're gonna start losing. After two hours, you're still not losing.

[Bobby Bones]

4 hours and 18 minutes. The problem here is there are some people that probably have to leave.

[Eddie]

You gotta leave, man. Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Because it's not even that they have to leave because of the winning. Because I got an hour to go play. I got two hours to go play. Some of them are drunk. Some of them have dinner plans if you're hitting. And it's over an hour. And I've, I've gotten into arguments with people about this. Like, we have an appointment. An appointment. A reservation.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. A show to go to.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, I can't leave the table.

[Eddie]

The granny's hot right now.

[Bobby Bones]

There had to be so many people that got into fights after this because they wouldn't leave the table.

[Eddie]

Does it say how much like that table gave out?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but it says the odds of that happening were 1 in 1.56 trillion.

[Eddie]

That's amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

To roll 154 times over 4 hours and 18 minutes without losing.

[Eddie]

So I think it's amazing when, when that. What do you call the. The small. Big.

[DraftKings Pick Six Advertiser]

Small.

[Eddie]

Tall. Long. Large. When you hit all the numbers.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, yeah. On the top.

[Eddie]

Big and tall, big and smaller.

[Bobby Bones]

I think they have different names, but.

[Eddie]

Yes, I think it's amazing when that hits.

[Bobby Bones]

I hit one last time. And I don't always, but I hit one last time. Yeah.

[Eddie]

So this is unbelievable. Okay. Granny. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you see where Mark Sanchez was fired from Fox?

[Eddie]

No. Official. Done. Donezo.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think like his family was mad that he got fired like that.

[Eddie]

What do you, what do you expect? Like, what happened?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, exactly. They must now feel confident that he was so at fault in the wrong. This is just me speculating here.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They must now feel so confident that he was solely at fault that they can fire him without fear of repercussion.

[Eddie]

Did you, didn't you feel like you were pretty confident that he was all that I've seen from everything you've seen.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But I don't feel like I've seen the full 360. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I haven't seen all the video.

[Bobby Bones]

Like I've watched him like looking like a zombie walking down the streets of Indianapolis. I've seen the older man in the hospital. I've seen him in the hospital. I've seen report, but I've not actually seen it. So I don't know. They must have enough knowledge because they're just protecting themselves at this point even by keeping them on. But that's why I was fired and they were upset.

[Eddie]

But like, don't the companies have to do like say this is going on ongoing investigation? I think the court case is in December coming up, maybe next month. Done. The company kind of have to pay if. If like, say you can't work, you're on administrative pay, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Administrative pay.

[Eddie]

Isn't that what it is? Like when you probably.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know.

[Eddie]

So, like, they would have to pay him just to keep him on while this is going on, so.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so if he. Okay, so if he. He was there doing a game.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's why he was there. Right?

[Bobby Bones]

That's a great point. They would have to keep paying him. I'm sure it wouldn't be so much that would affect their bottom line, though.

[Eddie]

Probably not. But.

[Bobby Bones]

But you're right. If he goes and gets hurt while you're. While he's on the job, there's gonna have to be some money. That right?

[Eddie]

Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

That's interesting. No, I don't think that's it. I think they just didn't want to get sued.

[Eddie]

You're right.

[Bobby Bones]

That's probably way later, but yeah, he was fired.

[Eddie]

Did you see the story about the Cleveland Brown, the Cleveland Indians pitcher? Guardians.

[Bobby Bones]

Pitchers. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Both two pitchers, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What is happening?

[Bobby Bones]

The fact that they were only making $5,000.

[Eddie]

I didn't know they were making 5,000. I mean, I saw that the. The total bet was. I think the money that, that I guess they won from those bets was like 450,000.

[Bobby Bones]

So every time they throw a ball, they got paid 5,000 bucks.

[Eddie]

Whoa.

[Bobby Bones]

Both of them.

[Eddie]

Okay, it.

[Bobby Bones]

One of them had a 20 million dollar contract.

[Eddie]

Yeah. It's crazy, dude. So. So is this going to be a thing where we're just going to get more stuff now?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's. There are more people involved in it, of course, but I would say this. There have been so many people involved in this, but because it wasn't legalized, we never knew about it because there were no flags to put up.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But now it's flagged immediately because it's legal now. Yeah. So as soon as something seems off, like the UFC fight last week. As soon as something seems off and it's going to be a massive story where there were probably things like this happening. Maybe not balls, because I don't know that every bookie was. It was doing live in game bets, you'd have to be sitting with your bookie doing it live in game.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So even the prop bets, because that's what these were.

[Eddie]

These were.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Ball strike.

[Eddie]

Right.

[Bobby Bones]

None, I think just pitches. Next pitch.

[Eddie]

What we were doing at the Cubs.

[Bobby Bones]

Game, we for sure were. We for sure were.

[Eddie]

And let me tell you, the UFC stuff, they fixed it because I. I did. Well, this Weekend.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you think the only reason you lost is because.

[Eddie]

Dude, how is it that they. They all of a sudden have a gambling thing going on? Oh, FBI is involved. And then the week after I start hitting all my bets again. Huh?

[Bobby Bones]

What's the correlation here?

[Eddie]

They were rigging it, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

So they were rigging it. So they rigged it so you would lose.

[Eddie]

Not just for me, but for all. Kind of watch UFC and know what's up.

[Bobby Bones]

It's holding you back. Yeah, they were. They were getting paid 5,000 bucks every time they threw a ball and they had one. One of the guys had a 20 million dollar contract. Like he was putting himself with that much.

[Eddie]

Gosh, that's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I got a lot of feedback over your race car interview.

[Eddie]

Oh, did you?

[Bobby Bones]

I can read you some of them.

[Eddie]

Is it good?

[Bobby Bones]

Just finished listening to Eddie's podcast. We're in Fresno. No, hold on.

[Dr. Priyanka Walley]

What?

[Eddie]

No, no. Why are you holding on?

[Bobby Bones]

Wait, I gotta find it. Here we go. We're in Fresno. Well, because I accidentally hit the thing where it shows you, like a. A carousel with the songs.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

You know when it just. It flips between them and plays some song. It flipped on me and I was like, why? Why did it flip?

[Eddie]

What? What pictures?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, it's all. I screenshotted all of your images.

[Eddie]

Got it, got it.

[Bobby Bones]

The people had sent me from DMs.

[Eddie]

And what song did it pick?

[Bobby Bones]

I turned it off and started playing the music. That's why I was like, hold on.

[Eddie]

Hold on, hold on.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, Eddie. And. And okay. And wait, let me get through it. Ha ha. Nonetheless, I actually enjoyed his interview. I'd say he had solid questions, but as soon as the interview started on the interview, I couldn't stop laughing. What I think they mean when we started.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Spell check.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Eddie]

You're going to be a critic.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's another one. The voice he was using was definitely pedo. Edo.

[Eddie]

What?

[Bobby Bones]

It went downhill a bit after Eddie asking about socks.

[Eddie]

Oh, that was funny. I just asked if he wore. If he was.

[Bobby Bones]

Sock, shoe, sock shoe when he puts them on.

[Eddie]

Yeah, because he says he likes everything kind of the same way every time he gets in his car. Like, everything I do. Like, a seat belt goes on first, then I gotta do the wheel, the steering wheel. Like, so I asked, like, are you. Are you a weirdo? Like, do you do sock shoe, Sock, shoe, socks, shoes? Like, no, no.

[Bobby Bones]

He did laugh at that question.

[Eddie]

He did laugh.

[Bobby Bones]

Eddie did a good job on the interview. He started off a touch exuberant. In the beginning, but once he settled, exuberant. The interview was smooth and flowed nicely. Eddie did a great job, but he did stutter a few times. Nothing bad.

[Eddie]

Oh my gosh.

[Bobby Bones]

Here's one from Tracy Van Vliet.

[Eddie]

Where's she from?

[Bobby Bones]

It does. I haven't got there. I don't know, Bobby. I thought Eddie did a great job in the interview. I got into nascar. Oh, I'm not into nascar. But he made the details part interesting without being too technical. He also brought in the human side, which was fun and ran on. But my daughter and I took your advice and placed a bet for Arkansas to win the national championship of basketball. That has nothing to do with it, but. Sorry.

[Eddie]

That's cool. That's cool though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Thank you. So overall, I would say they gave you a solid B. Yeah, I'll take it.

[Eddie]

I'll take it. I mean, and although the criticism was very nitpicky, but I get it.

[Brandon Marcelo]

It's fine.

[Eddie]

We asked. We asked for it. You asked for it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We'll come back and talk college football with Brandon Marcelo. Next. Every yard, every sack, every interception and Every touchdown with pick 6 draftkings newest game. Every snap can turn into a big time payout. This isn't just watching the game. This is playing to win. Here's how it works. You pick more or less on two or more player stats.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, let's get over and talk with Brandon Marcelo from CBS Sports and 247 Sports. Brandon was at the Texas A M win over Missouri. So we'll talk about that. And Texas A M not sucking. Usually they start sucking about this time they're not sucking at all. Follow Brandon Marcelo on Instagram at Brandon Marcelo. Here he is. Brandon Marcelo. Hey, I was reading your article about Texas A M and I like you wrote, I'm very surprised to not see them flounder as November hits. Why is this team different, Brandon?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Well, number one, Jimbo Fisher isn't the coach or Kevin Sumlin, but also they're just really well built in the trenches. They've done a great job in the portal, but also with some of the the holdovers of talent that was recruited under Jimbo Fish. Remember a few years ago they had the best recruiting class ever that's ever been rated according to 24. 7 sports and there's still some pieces there from that. Also, Marcel Reed, the quarterback is just phenomenal. I don't think he's getting enough kind of recognition and push out there. He's really improved as a passer this year. He's a little bit more patient in the pocket. Last year he was just taking off and running quite a bit. This year that hasn't really been the case. And you know, I think that that early season win against Notre Dame is really what kind of got their, their motor running. And they're just, they're clicking on all cylinders or they're undefeated. They're 6 and 2 and Mike Elko's two years on the road and it's a complete flip from what the previous regimes have been there in College Station.

[Bobby Bones]

How would you rank them with the three Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A and M?

[Brandon Marcelo]

I would probably still put A and M@3 right now just because of what Indiana has done to practically all but two opponents. Just Absolutely blowing them out. He had a rally, of course, against Penn State this week, which was a crazy ending of the game. And Ohio State just seems to be more complete, especially defensively. And you know, I know the College Football Playoff committee chairman actually said last week that the differentiator there from A M between those two, Ohio State and Indiana was the defense. And if you look at the numbers, they're exactly right. A M's defense is just kind of average in some of those numbers and they got to improve on that. And even in their big win against Missouri this week, where they won by 21, they still allowed several explosive plays, especially on the ground. And it's that lack of consistency, see, that could probably end up coming up and biting them here when they play a tougher opponent.

[Bobby Bones]

What does this mean for Missouri? They weren't expected to win, but they weren't expected to get routed at home.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, it's the writing's on the wall as far as like what the program has been the last two to three years. You know, they beat everybody they're supposed to. And then the teams that they're equal to, maybe a little bit below, they just can't beat under Eli Drinkowicz Right now they're.03 against ranked teams this season. Similar record last year. It's just whenever they get the type of games that you need to win at home, they can't do it. Alabama earlier this season and now Mizzou, both at home. You gotta split those two if you want any hope of getting in a playoff. And a great team should be able to do that. One thing that hurt Mizzou, I should say, is that, you know, they're, they play their third string quarterback as a starter because of injuries. True freshman and Matt Zollers, who, you know, he only completed seven passes against A and M and that's the lowest amount of pass completions by a Missouri quarterback since I think 2016. So, you know, it wasn't really going to be their day potentially anyway. But even when they've been healthy and had a lot of pieces together, they just, they can't get that top 25 win they need.

[Bobby Bones]

I always like to see a team play after their coaches fired and we got to see Auburn play. I don't know how much of that you got to watch because that game ended up being way more of a game than I thought it would be. Were they a talented team that plays better without their head coach or were they just a fired up team that really didn't have personnel and they were Playing off emotion.

[Brandon Marcelo]

I think it's both actually. I think that Hugh Freeze just absolutely held them back offensively. And you saw that. I mean, Vanderbilt's pretty good defensively and for Auburn to go on the road and score, you know, 38 points in regulation, by far their best point total against an SEC opponent all season, that tells you something was going on with the play calling. Auburn's super talented offensively. Their one weakness offensively is the offensive line. They've got a receiver room that could have been top five in the, in this country this year and they didn't utilize them correctly. They've had to bench their 1.5 million dollar quarterback and bring Ashton Daniels in as a starter. But I will say like the one issue I had, the big issue I had with them is that, you know, D.J. durkin, their defensive coordinator, takes over his head coach and it's the defense that sucked Saturday. It was the offense that, I mean it's almost like they went, okay, we gotta fix this offense. And DJ Durkin like put all of his eggs in that basket thinking his defense would hold, hold their own. And, and they absolutely didn't. So let's see how they re respond these next couple of weeks. But when you get this late in the season and you change coaches, teams usually show a little bit more of what they could be in that initial game that the afterward. But they always, if they're in a tight game, they lose it almost certainly the same way they've lost games all season. And that's kind of what happened with Auburn against Vanderbilt there in overtime and, and you even saw it with Arkansas and you've seen it with lsu like just the certain types of losses continue for those programs no matter who the coach has been.

[Bobby Bones]

I was watching a lot of Auburn Twitter and they are very passionate about DJ Durkin one way or the other. Is there any shot he's in now the top five to get that job?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, I think so. Yes. I think he was beforehand. I think he still is. He's definitely not number one, I could tell you that. Especially with two lanes John Summerall doing so well and beating Memphis on the road this week. Memphis had won, I think 11 straight at home and they went in there and, and, and beat them. And he's going to be up for a lot of jobs, or several jobs I should say, including Arkansas. But I think Auburn's the one that just makes a lot of sense for them for both parties. And I, I think for Durkin though, for him to rise in that top five, he's he's going to have to win his last two games and that includes beating Alabama there at Jordan Harris Stadium.

[Bobby Bones]

You had Cal as your most impressive win this week as they beat Louisville. That's a pretty tough loss for Louisville, right?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Oh yeah, definitely. And the ACC is just an absolute mess right now. There's like what, five teams with one loss in the standings and good luck trying to figure out who's going to be in Charlotte for their ACC championship game. I was really high on Louisville after the way they beat Miami. Jeff Braum I think is still like one of the top 15 coaches in the country. But that the way they lost that game, especially late like the, the late game clock management was dreadful in regulation when they're trying to drive down the field they couldn't do anything. They threw a ball when they shouldn't have in the middle of the field and it burned clock. They didn't have any timeouts remaining. Very just kind of head shakingly bad loss not just because of the result but also how they got there, how they lost that game. But Cal jks, their quarterback has been phenomenal all season and you know you've seen them claw in their way and potentially going to have a breakthrough at some point. But I, I was shocked that it ended up being against Louisville. I thought it'd be someone more mid tier in the acc.

[Bobby Bones]

The Texas Tech BYU game ended up I think how a lot of people felt it would end up but when I was watching that, didn't watch all of it. It did look like Texas Tech physically was a dominant team over byu. Did you feel the same?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, you know Tech is just going to be. Tech's got the most talented roster in the Big 12. I want to see their offense though be more explosive. I got to see more of them through four quarters before I can say they will be a threat in the playoff. There's just so much more there that they could be tapping into. You know there's a couple teams like that that are in the playoff hunt right now or will probably will be in the playoff. Texas Tech offensively and same with Oregon. Offensively it just seems like they're just not hitting on all the cylinders that you're expecting with all the pieces they have. And I'm really curious to see how they do in their last two to three games and whether they can kind of rev things up more because if Tech just gets to a point where you know they've, they're falling two drives short like, like it's Tech watching that game Like I felt like there was like two more drives there where they should have had touchdowns. You can't do that every single week in advance. In the playoff.

[Bobby Bones]

Oregon and Iowa was an ugly game and that's the kind of game that I felt like Iowa wants to play. And I think, you know, Oregon just out reigned them. They, they kicked field goal at the end whenever I think they were maybe the three or the five, they had to drive 90 something yards in order to. I was like, there is, Iowa doesn't drive 90 yards. So I was always played that same style of ball though. Are they going to have to completely change full administration to, to throw the ball, to have an offense that can go 90 yards? Because you kind of knew they wouldn't win that game when it got close, right?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah. I mean it's going to take a whole new coaching staff for that to change. And that's not coming anytime soon, it looks like. You know, it's funny, you know, I have a writer friend up there who like it almost like I always tease him, like every summer he's like, hey, things are gonna be a little bit different the offense here this year. And I go, no it's not. They're gonna keep running the ball, they're not gonna throw the ball often. They're not gonna do any hurry ups like he's like, oh, I'm telling you, they're, they're speeding things up a little bit this year. You're gonna, you're gonna be, no, it's the same old, same old. And hey, it's Kirk Ferrets wins that way. But you know, you know, going into this past week, Iowa's in a great position. They've been playing very well and they had Oregon this, this past week and then they would go to usc. Two teams in the playoff hunt themselves and if Iowa won both of those, Iowa would be in the playoff, which I don't think a lot of people saw. And you know, they're one kick away against Oregon from getting one of those two steps done. But now they're, those hopes are over.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's go playoff. USC wins. How do you feel about USC making the playoff?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Not very consistent. I, I, I still think maybe Iowa could even beat them even though they, Iowa has to go all the way across the country. There will be obviously a lot of resume comparisons to be made in within the Big 12. And also especially with USC against independent Notre Dame, with Notre Dame winning that head to head, Notre Dame being a two loss team, some interesting conversations will have to be had There, you know, I think USC is like one of those teams much like BYU this past week. We kind of just sit there and expect. We're expecting them to lose at some points. We're not really discussing them as a playoff potential but they could do it. Jade, my Jade Mava, the quarterback is, is great but they still leave a little bit more to be desired defensively for me.

[Bobby Bones]

What about the three SEC teams with Vandy, Texas and Oklahoma? Any of them have a shot to get in?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Oh yeah, most definitely. And I think the most interesting conversation we might end up having is what happens if Vanderbilt finishes with only two losses and Texas has two losses or the more interesting one, Texas has three losses but they have a head to head win against Vanderbilt. Is there a potential there? We might see a discussion about three loss, Texas getting in over Vanderbilt, a two loss team. I think that's something we got to discuss.

[Bobby Bones]

Also Texas having that were to come the head to head over Oklahoma too. Kind of a races if they're even. Texas just gets it right, right?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yes, I think so.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's.

[Brandon Marcelo]

But also, you know, we gotta, we gotta watch what happens in the Big Ten. You know the Big Ten I said in the preseason and I kind of continue to say it. They look like a three bid league, the ACC looks like a one bid league, Big 12 looks like a one bid league. And if that continues, that's really going to help the SEC out.

[Bobby Bones]

Have you heard anything regarding any of the spots coaching wise? Because we could start at Wisconsin. It looks like they will not be hiring a new coach.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, Wisconsin sticking with Luke Fickle. They made that official this past week. Nothing really too groundbreaking on the coaching carousel as far as candidates. You know, I keep reminding people it's still super early. They're still vetting out guys, still talking to agents and everything trying to get a feel of where the chessboard might move here over the next few weeks. Again I, I think you know the second to last week and in November and especially that last week of November, things will really start heating up when you'll finally hear, probably hear like there's three guys in the mix here at this job or two here where this is the number one target. But with some of these jobs that are open, you know, especially like in Auburn with John Summerall and Tulane, there's some very clear like leaders right now in those jobs like James Franklin of Virginia Tech. But now there's a name you people are going to start paying more attention to is Bob Chesney out of James Madison. He's someone that could be very much involved in a couple of jobs, especially Virginia Tech. But it all depends on what these coaches and their agents say over the next few weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

I saw the picture of the James Madison coach, supposedly at Virginia Tech, getting off the plane. I don't know what to believe anymore at all.

[Brandon Marcelo]

It's fake. It's actually. I looked at that. It's actually a photo of him getting off the plane for their game this past week. It's not. It's. It's. Someone just took the picture and said just. I mean, you put any word under anything nowadays and some people believe as long as it catches fire.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The message board post said, like, my wife works at the airport and took this picture. And I, I was like, that's enough proof for me. I guess it looks like it's about to happen now.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Now just getting off the plane for game day or the day before the game, traveling.

[Bobby Bones]

Who would you say the two or three coaches are that have really moved up into the conversation to get one of these jobs? Because you just mentioned one from James Madison and North Texas has a guy as well. But who would you say those coaches are that are now in that mix?

[Brandon Marcelo]

You know, like John Sumrall, as I mentioned, Eric Morris, Bob Chesney. You know, it's interesting. We're not talking a lot about coordinators potentially, but there's going to be some coordinators that will have to fill these jobs because there's going to be so many. So, like a Will Stein at Oregon, who's the offensive coordinator. There is someone to watch and then even some former head coaches who are out of the game. Former Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald. He's going to get back in it. He's going to be a candidate somewhere. You're going to hear his name come up at some point, point this year. But the names that you've kind of been hearing the last couple of weeks is really the ones that just continue to kind of gain buzz. I wouldn't be surprised. Another name out there that maybe will catch more heat is Colin Klein, the offensive coordinator at Texas A and M, who of course was previously at Kansas State and Kansas State alum, former quarterback. I think he's someone who's fast on the rise and might get some nibbles as well.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, two final questions. I'm hearing nothing about Jon Gruden anymore. Not that I ever thought that was really real. He mentioned he'd love to coach in the sec, and I watch all of these SEC Twitter teams and clubs and there's really not a lot of Gruden rumors anymore. Do you think he'll end up in college football?

[Brandon Marcelo]

As of right now, no. I don't see it. And I haven't heard his name come up even among like top three candidates at some of these jobs. But also remember a lot, a lot of the jobs that are open right now are power conference teams. And my question for Jon Gruden now, and I haven't spoken to him in over a year, but when I spoke to him about a year ago and he's talking about maybe coaching college football, it didn't strike me that he'd be ready and willing to go coach a group of five or group of six school. And that might be what's on the table for him if he really wants to get into it. I mean, if he really wants to be a college football coach, that's probably how he's going to have to start things. I mean, I know we've seen these celebrity coaches as we try to call them, like Deion Sanders or Trent Dilfer, you know, get jobs. But Dilfer had to get in the group of six and Deion Sanders is just different from everybody else because of his pedigree. And for that matter, Deion Sanders coach Jackson State for a couple of years. He had to work his way up even to Colorado. So I don't think Jon Gruden could just jump into it and expect to get a job like say, Bill Belichick did.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's finish on a Heisman question. Any, any chance a defensive player could win it this year?

[Brandon Marcelo]

I don't see it. I know there's some increasing chatter about that, especially at Texas Tech, but I don't see it. I think it's gonna be a quarterback award this year, especially after what Fernando Mendoza did this week, leading Indiana down the field in that final drive and throwing that touchdown pass that to be reviewed in the back of the end zone. I think Mendoza just had his Heisman moment. I think he's the favorite right now. I'm sure it is in the betting books too. I think Marcel Reed, A and M, who I watched in person this week, he's going to continue climbing if, if A M wins out this regular season. I think Marcel Reed could very well be maybe the runner up finisher there. But I to me right now, this award is coming down to the D.O. two quarterbacks that are undefeated in the Big Ten. Fernando Mendoza and Julian Saying at Ohio State. And it'll be interesting to watch. But I will say this. I think this has probably been the dullest Heisman Trophy race and in recent memory that I can remember.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, that's why I asked if you thought a defensive player had a shot this year because again, it feels like every week there's a couple of guys that go up a little, did go down a little, but there really hasn't been, except for before the season started, an absolute favorite. And before the season started, none of those guys, the Nuss Meyers, the arch Mannings, the D.J. lagways, the South Carolina, none of those guys are in the mix now. So it's just kind of been a weird year for the Heisman.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah. And yet DJ Lagway, he was benched this week at Florida and, and they lost. You know, of course Florida, of course don't have a coach anymore. But like, it's incredible how the preseason prognostications now are more wrong than ever. And it's because of the transfer portal nil. You just don't know what to expect. These rosters, I don't know the exact numbers, but I mean, you know, we had the number two team go off to the worst first eight or nine game stretch in college football history. Penn State, yet Clemson, a top 10 team who some people pick to win the national championship this year, absolutely fall apart. Florida State rising quickly into the top 12 after being Alabama and just looking like an absolute shell of its former self. It's, it's more difficult than ever to try and put a finger on what a team's going to do and for that matter, what an individual is going to do.

[Bobby Bones]

As I often say, it's hard to finger the Heisman.

[Eddie]

All the time.

[Bobby Bones]

All the time. All right, Brandon, thank you buddy. We'll talk to you soon. Bye Brandon.

A final segment. How did you feel about the Cowboys playing?

[Eddie]

Cowboys playing? When?

[Bobby Bones]

On all Sunday.

[Eddie]

What do you mean they didn't play? No, I didn't. They didn't play, so I didn't do anything.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. How'd you. How do you feel about that?

[DraftKings Pick Six Advertiser]

That's cool.

[Eddie]

I mean, do you like it or.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you not like it?

[Eddie]

I like the week off.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Yeah. And now I don't have to worry if they won or loss because, dude, that, like last week, that carried. That carried on for two days. Two days.

[Odoo Advertiser]

The.

[Eddie]

The. The heartache. And then finally I got over it.

[Bobby Bones]

The Cardinals game. Yeah. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Stupid dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, Arkansas didn't play either. And we've been losing a lot. And I think when we're winning or if I think we have a chance to win, I don't like the off week. I really didn't mind it oh, yeah. And maybe it's good. We had a basketball game that night. I had something to really look forward to, but then we lost that, too.

[Eddie]

Yeah. But I did think about that and I thought, like, is that part of the scheduling? Like, okay, their football team has a buy, though. Okay. Because that's perfect. And they even. They even promoted it all week.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Arkansas, Michigan State.

[Bobby Bones]

That's a big early.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

College basketball game.

[Eddie]

You still like. You still like how they look? Yeah, they play well.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Dude, it's their first away game. It's like their second game of the year. Yeah. We went into Michigan State, hostile environment, and I thought we should have won the game, but.

[Eddie]

Thought you were going to win the game.

[Bobby Bones]

I think Cal, our head basketball coach, has scheduled every elite 18 from last year. We're playing. We're playing them this year.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

Which is crazy. No one's ever done the history of basketball.

[Eddie]

Why? Why would he do that?

[Bobby Bones]

He wants to play big teams. He's like, let's get you ready. Get us ready.

[Eddie]

I like it.

[Bobby Bones]

We're not going to go in. And I'll be ready. And here I am going. We're not going to go in if we keep losing all these games. I watched a bunch of college football parts of a bunch of games because again, with my foot messed up, I really wasn't able to move around. Big Ten football looks so slow compared to SEC. Maybe it's just they have more white guys per 11.

[Eddie]

That's funny.

[Bobby Bones]

That could be it. Because the more white people in the 11, the slower you are. And like, I watched Indiana and I watched the Indiana Penn State game and they just look slow. They won.

[Eddie]

That's interesting. I wonder why.

[Bobby Bones]

I think it's the way the more white people you have, the slower you are. Just a little slower. That's really what I feel. Their quarterback looks slow. Like he had that. That pass at the end of the game. Like Marcelo said his Heisman moment, but he looks slow. And he was running the ball a lot. And their coach, Signetti, he's only likable as a caricature. He's not likable as a person. Yeah. Because even before the game they were like, hey, so Penn State's never won here. And he. He reminds me of. I don't say who reminds me of, but because he does remind me of somebody.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

He reminds me of somebody. He's like, grabs a mic or gets close to it, he goes, yeah, but this team's never played here. Dane, like, walks on. It's like, dude, we already know you're good. You don't have to convince us. You don't have be hard. And then like after the game, there was a he. He's just so, like in your face, but not like cool in your face. Like he's trying to prove something. In your face. But he wins. So he is proving something.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think Signetti is that likable. I think he's funny. I like him for what he brings to college football, what he brings to Indiana. They're not a. That's not a football school.

[Eddie]

No, it's not. It's a basketball school.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. It's awesome. So I root for Indiana because of that. As a human. I don't want to have dinner with that guy. I want to hang out with him. But I think what he brings to football is really good. I made a couple other notes. J.J. mcCarthy sucks.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dude. He almost got Justin Jefferson killed like 10 times in that game. As an ugly game anyway. Most of the games were ugly, but there I think they were slow or soft. Benching him before they let it. Before. Let him come back.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Like Carson Wentz had to like fully have a shoulder ripped off before he was. Jason McCarthy sucks. Yeah, he's not.

[Eddie]

He's not very good that it sucks because you think that he did like they did see more in him or that he was going to be their. Their forever starter, but no, I don't think that's going to be the case.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, and Kevin o' Connell is the quarterback whisperer in Minnesota, so maybe they will get him to a place. But he looks lost out there.

[Eddie]

And Josh McCown, his quarterback coach, went. Went to college with him.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you just throw that in at the end?

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah. How cool does that.

[Bobby Bones]

What does that have to do with it?

[Eddie]

I went to school with Josh, man. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you know him?

[Eddie]

Nah, I never. No, I never met him.

[Bobby Bones]

Another note I have is that the Bears also suck, but they keep winning.

[Eddie]

I know. Isn't that crazy? And they're all comeback wins.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And again, it's not like they were world beaters and they beat a team that was great this week, but it doesn't matter. You get a win's a freaking win. Yep, they are.

[Eddie]

I thought he died for a second.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Eddie]

Gosh, he just kept getting murdered.

[Bobby Bones]

So the Bears are winning and I think they kind of suck. The Giants Jackson dart is losing, but he's kind of good. Yeah, I never really thought that he would have a successful rookie campaign. Hey, did Day Ball get Fired or did I just see a tweet where people were acting like it? No, I didn't get fire acting like it, though. Did you see that too? Yeah, they were like, he's out.

[Eddie]

Yeah, we saw that.

[Bobby Bones]

Jacksonville got a concussion.

[Eddie]

I like. I like his style of play.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too. I know. I. I don't like the necklace, but I love the style. I know. I was rooting for the Giants. I was wanting the Giants to beat the Bears, but, yeah, I like Jackson dart.

[Eddie]

Didn't I see, like. Did he just get it? Like a hot girlfriend or something? Just get one Just popped up like he's dating somebody famous?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know, Mike, would you Google that? I don't know if it's true or not, but I've seen plenty of tick tocks where people at Ole Miss claimed that they worked up with him, that he was, like, cheating on his girlfriend.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But he's not with that girlfriend though, anymore, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't know. I don't even know if he's dating anybody. Who do you see? He's linked to a model named Marissa Ayers.

[Eddie]

That's her. Yeah, dude. Super hot. She popped up my. On my Instagram. It was like, official, officially dating. Like, why am I on this? Why is this my algorithm?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think they're officially dating.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Anything come to mind from the games you watched?

[Eddie]

No, just I hit a couple of touchdown bets, which I haven't. Dude, I've never hit those because it's so hard. I loved. What I like to do is, on the start of Sunday is pick one touchdown from every game. Right? So just one player to score a touchdown from every game, and if I'm lucky, I'll hit one. And that payout is like $20,000 for, like, a dollar bet.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And I finally hit two. Two. Just two. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go smaller this time. I'm gonna get two touchdown, people. And they scored. They both scored.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, so you only did two overall?

[Eddie]

I only did two overall.

[Bobby Bones]

And then you hit it.

[Eddie]

And then I hit it. I want 50 bucks off that.

[Bobby Bones]

Off a dollar bet?

[Eddie]

Off a dollar bet. Because it was like Rodriguez from the Commanders and Jennings from the 49ers.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you bet on Sam Houston State?

[Eddie]

Oh, dude, let me tell you, on Friday, like, Fri. I'd say Friday at 5:00'.

[Bobby Bones]

Clock.

[Eddie]

It was, like, almost sunset. I got a beer. I was sitting outside my my. Outside my backyard. I just looked up. I told you, I don't look up a lot. And I look.

[Bobby Bones]

You did.

[Eddie]

I looked up to the sky and dude, I'm not kidding. There was a cloud in the shape of an S. A perfect S. I've never seen a cloud in the shape of an S. So I was like, what can that mean? And I was just happy to be looking at DraftKings and I saw that Sam Houston was playing Texas Tech in basketball. I'm like, yeah, Texas Tech's really good. Let me just bet on them to cover. I bet Sam Houston to cover. They covered. They played well against Texas Tech. And then on Saturday they were playing Oregon State. I'm like, no chance they're going to beat Oregon State. I bet them to beat Oregon State. They beat Oregon State because of the S. Dude, I call it whatever it is, but I saw that sign from in the sky and I'm like, this is it. God's telling me to bet Sam Houston State.

[Bobby Bones]

I have a bet going on right now. It was a five bet parlay.

[Eddie]

Did you see it in the sky?

[Bobby Bones]

I did not. But let me explain to you where I am. So I bet Jameer Gibbs. Anytime touchdown score. He hit.

[Eddie]

Got it. Good.

[Bobby Bones]

Pukinokua. Anytime touchdown score.

[Eddie]

Got it.

[Bobby Bones]

Got it. Matthew Stafford. 240 plus passing yards. Got it.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Mac Jones. 220 plus passing yards. Got it. The only thing that I don't have is a Christian McCaffrey touchdown. And I bet 300 bucks to win $2,300.

[Eddie]

Where are we in that?

[Bobby Bones]

We are, I believe like eight minutes left in the game.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Eight and a half minutes. Yeah. 8:29.

[Brandon Marcelo]

It could happen.

[Eddie]

And. And they're down. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

They're down two touchdowns. But McCaffrey catches the ball a bunch.

[Eddie]

He does.

[Bobby Bones]

So if Everybody listening, if McCaffrey ends up with a touchdown. I just hit for 2,300 bucks.

[Eddie]

That's huge.

[Bobby Bones]

I did hit a strong one. I didn't bet much yesterday.

[Eddie]

Oh, I saw that. The one you sent me. Yeah, dude, that was awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, let me see.

[Eddie]

I hit that one too, but for a smaller value.

[Bobby Bones]

I bet a three team parlay. Is this the one for 1400 bucks?

[Eddie]

The last one was Indiana over.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Yeah. I had a Texas Tech moneyline, Georgia Moneyline, and then the over in the Indiana Penn State game, which you just got. I bet 500 bucks and won 1471.

[Eddie]

Dude, that is awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

But I need. I. I mean, I don't need Christian. I don't need it. I would like to have Chris, but.

[Eddie]

You got to say it that way. I Mean, I need this.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't want to bet.

[Eddie]

Sometimes my kids will hear me saying, like, I need this in there. It's like, what do you mean? No, no, I didn't mean it like that.

[Bobby Bones]

It's gonna be a core memory for them, dad.

[Eddie]

Boys, relax.

[Bobby Bones]

Whispering to himself that he really needed a betting win.

[Eddie]

We're good. We're good.

[Bobby Bones]

What happened with your boys? Baseball team?

[Eddie]

Basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I thought it was baseball last time. Basketball.

[Eddie]

Yeah. He made the team.

[Bobby Bones]

He did.

[Odoo Advertiser]

All right.

[Eddie]

He made the team, which is awesome. He's super pumped. But, dude, I'm telling you, this whole process has just been weird. It's been two weeks of tryouts, very secretive, tape on the windows, no parents, whatever, right? And then the whole process of finding out if you made the team was parents. We will send an email out at 10:30pm to everybody, to every. Well, they didn't say that. They just said they'll send an email out notifying you if your kid made the team.

[Bobby Bones]

So if you didn't make it, you didn't get an email? Not sure, because you got one.

[Eddie]

I got the email, and then I looked at who else got the email, you know, just to kind of see. And it's one.

[Bobby Bones]

Were they up there in the bcc? They put other parents in there?

[Eddie]

No, it's. It was one of those, like, to themselves. Oh, you know, where it looks like that's weird. They emailed themselves, but it got to all of us. And so what was weird about the email? It said, parents don't communicate with other parents about this. And I was like, what? What do you mean? Like, so to me, that's telling me that they didn't tell everyone that they didn't make it. Maybe the email just went out to the parents of the kids that did make it. Don't talk about it to any other parents. So I'm sitting at home on Saturday night being like, who do I tell? Like, I know all the other dads. Like, we go to all the practices together.

[Bobby Bones]

It would be weird to text, want to be like, did your kid make it? And they're like, I don't know.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Correct.

[Eddie]

And then I had one parent the next day. Like, it was like, you know, later in the afternoon, text me and say, congratulations, I heard your son made it. I didn't know how to respond. I'm like, are we supposed to be talking right now?

[Bobby Bones]

Like, did they make it? Did you really hear that? Are you just. You just throwing some chum out there to see who comes up?

[Eddie]

Maybe it was the Weirdest. This whole thing has just been so weird to me, and I don't know why. Don't know why middle school sports has to be this weird.

[Bobby Bones]

When do they play?

[Eddie]

They play twice a week, and their first games in a couple weeks.

[Bobby Bones]

They travel at all?

[Eddie]

Yeah, but it's all. It's all local. I think the furthest travel, they're playing in Kentucky. One little tournament in Kentucky, but it's like, Kentucky near us.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

So, like, I don't know, 45 minutes away.

[Bobby Bones]

Is he pumped?

[Eddie]

Super pumped, dude. He's so excited, But I think 15 kids made it, so I'm like, all right, you made the team. But now it's time to make the starting. The starting squad.

[Bobby Bones]

Do you think he will?

[Eddie]

I don't know. He. He's. He's really good. He's just short and so just depending on. On, I think. I think skills skill wise. Like, he's. He's probably in the top, but they. He. They've got to see a leader in him. They've got to see, like, more than just like. Like a pretty good ball handler. They got to see, like, all right, this kid's a good leader. He'd be a good point guard. And then he'll. He'll be the starter, but we'll see. Man. Tbd.

[Bobby Bones]

You know what I had that was really good was cherry barbecue sauce.

[Eddie]

Really? Is it cherry flavored barbecue sauce?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know about flavor. I think it had cherries in it.

[Odoo Advertiser]

Really?

[Eddie]

I never heard of that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

What made you think of that? A basketball.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I was skipping the topic.

[Eddie]

A basketball's around, cherries around.

[Bobby Bones]

I think I was looking at the time, a few things. My foot's. My foot's killing me.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Dude, we gotta get some meds in you.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's hard to focus on anything. I want to know about your son. And then it just kept going and.

[Eddie]

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't. I don't think you went too long. I think I just don't have. I don't have much.

[Eddie]

I got you.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm thinking I need to get something in me, you know, be good food. And then I thought barbecue would be. And then I'm like, you know, we're about to wrap this up, and is there anything else I want to say? And for some reason, it popped up. I've had some cherry barbecue sauce.

[Eddie]

What did it taste like? Like cherry Coke.

[Bobby Bones]

But no, it tastes like barbecue sauce had a hint of cherry flavor and also had little Cherries in it.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

It was really good. I didn't know if that was, like, a common thing.

[Eddie]

Never heard. Never heard of that.

[Bobby Bones]

My wife has asked me a couple times when you're going to come.

[Eddie]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. When you guys want. When you want it? Really? Like, just say the time, dude, I'll come. Do you want me to bring the Blackstone and do the whole deal?

[Bobby Bones]

You have to ask her. Probably not, because I have to rent.

[Eddie]

A trailer for that.

[Bobby Bones]

Probably. Yeah, probably not. Probably not.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, we are done. Brandon, how'd you do this weekend?

[DraftKings Pick Six Advertiser]

Come on.

[Brandon Marcelo]

All right.

[Eddie]

I did all right.

[Bobby Bones]

I hit a few, didn't hit a bunch.

[Eddie]

That's not a good. That's not a good weekend.

[Odoo Advertiser]

No, it's not.

[Eddie]

You didn't see the S in the sky. Got it. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Any McCaffrey touchdown?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Not yet.

[Bobby Bones]

They have the ball. At least. I have on my fantasy team, too. Like, it's just a. It's a double need.

[Eddie]

And I'm playing you.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know. Not on that team. I don't consider that, like, my. Really. I'll be honest with you.

[Eddie]

Me either, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, I know we all plan it together.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's like, I don't consider that to be, like, a real league.

[Eddie]

There was a time when that was.

[Bobby Bones]

That was the main league. And I don't ever want to play in two leagues. I was always a one league guy. But then I got another league.

[Eddie]

More money.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

More stakes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. That one feels like it's really the real league.

[Eddie]

I get it. Oh, before we. Before we. We end it.

[Bobby Bones]

What.

[Eddie]

What do we. So we just need Kansas City to win. To make some. What do we need in our league? In our Money making league. Money making money. Losing league.

[Bobby Bones]

We've already exhausted because Kansas City didn't play. They're on by.

[Eddie]

Oh, they're on by. So we're done.

[Bobby Bones]

We're done.

[Eddie]

Which was weird because we had two teams play each other.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then we. Miami. Mm.

[Bobby Bones]

But the good thing is, I can't believe Miami beat Buffalo. Yeah. Because that means we have to pay out Buffalo. That was winter.

[Eddie]

Oh, so we skipped that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That's good. Yeah, it's really good. I had to think about that for a second.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. That was. That was a big win.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Dolphins freaking beating.

[Eddie]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

All right. Love to have Christian McCaffrey touchdown. If you hear a scream, that's probably me. If we hit that one, that's it. We'll see you guys later on in the week. I'M that's it. I'm done. I don't even know where we are on the show. So, Mike, have we done enough for this to count as a show?

[Odoo Advertiser]

We are good.

[Eddie]

Yeah.
