Podcast called 25 Whistles. Talking football and they all wear a whistle yet stupid. But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles.
Bobby Bones
25 Whistles. Hello, everybody. Welcome to the show. Eddie, hit it. Ah, it's a hard one.
Eddie
God, I'm feeling it today.
Bobby Bones
Fired up.
Eddie
Oh, yeah. Fire up for the weekend.
Bobby Bones
Cowboys.
Eddie
Cowboys are playing the Giants.
Bobby Bones
If you don't win that all. Listen, here's the thing. All of the optimism that you have and had based on a close loss on the road at Philadelphia, it all goes away, right? You have to win this game.
Eddie
We have to win this game. I think we will win this game and that's why I'm so excited. This, God, this week is going to be great, man.
Bobby Bones
It never works out for you when you think that. Really? Yeah.
Eddie
As you just chill a little bit.
Bobby Bones
No, I'm happy.
Eddie
Take it easy.
Bobby Bones
I just never have that where I am like, oh yeah, we got it. Because if it's a game where I feel like we got it, it's like we're playing like an FCS school or something and I'm not even excited about the game. And if it's a game where I think maybe we do, maybe we don't, then I feel like we don't, you know, Ole Miss. We don't have it.
Eddie
You know what's part of it for me is that they played so long ago. That was last Thursday, dude.
Bobby Bones
Like, yeah, that's tough. We got to go. It was fun. That was a good, good, fun last good season opener. Yeah, yeah. Just, no, not your game in general. The whole weekend.
Kevin
Always about the Cowboys.
Eddie
A lot of great games. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The weekend. Glad, everybody'. Let's do news of the week. Eddie, what's your news of the week?
Eddie
The Niners are in trouble and I love it. I'm just not a Niners fan. But, I mean, never want to cheer for injuries, but, dude, they have Brock Purdy's.
Bobby Bones
You want to cheer for injuries. You can't say that with that tone and expect that. We believe you.
Kevin
It was like a disclaimer. Yeah.
Eddie
I mean, first off, McCaffrey, who knows, right?
Bobby Bones
Like, he's not hurt.
Eddie
I understand.
Bobby Bones
There's no who knows on him because he played an excellent game.
Eddie
I know. But there's still question marks of like, how healthy is he?
Bobby Bones
I feel like that's unfair because nothing about him involves a question mark when there are people on that team that are out for weeks.
Eddie
Yeah, I know. Brock Purdy's out for weeks.
Bobby Bones
K out.
Eddie
KD's out for weeks. They're playing the Saints. I mean, the Saints could beat the Niners this week, which would be crazy.
Bobby Bones
I don't think the Saints could beat us, dude.
Eddie
I do. Honestly, after seeing the Saints, I don't think the Saints are that bad. Start of season before I saw anything, looking at them on paper, oh, my gosh. This is the worst team ever. But they're not too bad. And I think.
Bobby Bones
I don't know.
Kevin
I don't know about that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Kevin
You all know the Cardinals are okay, right?
Bobby Bones
The Cardinals beat them and the Cardinals aren't that great.
Eddie
We will see. We will see. And I think that the Niners. Oh, my gosh. Without Brock Purdy, I mean, I don't even know who the backup quarterback is.
Bobby Bones
Division. Why are you happy about them sucking?
Eddie
Just as a Cowboys fan, dude, you just hate the Niners.
Bobby Bones
I think it's a good thing that day Ball's not pulling Russ, like, let him go out suck again against Cowboys and then get pulled and you get Jackson dart that comes in. I think it's a good weekend for you. Like, care about the Giants, care about the commanders.
Eddie
The Niners are always a problem for the Cowboys.
Bobby Bones
No, not since the 90s, dude. I think you're still in that. Playing them in the NFC Championship game back in the 90s.
Eddie
Not true.
Kevin
By always, you mean they always beat you?
Eddie
Yeah, always when we get to the playoffs.
Bobby Bones
Well, that's everybody.
Kevin
That's true. That is true. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
The Niners are hurt. That sucks. News of the week. I'll go next. Thank you.
Kevin
Nice.
Bobby Bones
The Dolphins are interesting because they suck. And they might really suck. And if they really suck, they're going to end up firing their coach. But They've started a GoFundMe already to fire my coach.
Eddie
That's never good.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So going into the home opener against the Patriots, they had started this GoFundMe just in case they want McDaniel fired. Mike McDaniel, their coach. The goal of the fundraising campaign was to get enough cash to fly a fire Mike McDaniel Banner. The goal hit 900 bucks. It's at 1600 now. But now they have bigger plans where if they lose again, they want to raise more money just to go ahead.
Eddie
And buy them out. Hilarious.
Bobby Bones
It was like the woman from Alabama wanting to buy out.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Kaylin Debore.
Eddie
If she won the lottery.
Kevin
That changed quickly.
Bobby Bones
What's that?
Kevin
McDaniel? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, any.
Bobby Bones
Anything that people love you for, people are then going to hate you for if you start losing. Like, all the little interesting quirkiness about him that is so celebrated while they're winning, but the minute he loses, that's why they're losing, because of this quirkiness, because that's it. It's any interesting element of any person that does anything successful, that element is often credited and why we love them while they're winning. But it's also the reason that we go, oh, what a loser. I'll give you an example. Sam Pimmen at Arkansas, when he's winning, when he had decent years, they're like, man, he's like an everyman. He relates to the people and that's why they play for him. Now that we kind of are medium distinct, they're like, you know why they don't win? Because he's an everyman.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Yep.
Bobby Bones
They just use it against you the same way they built you up by it.
Kevin
Belichick was like that even last couple of years. It was like, well, Belichick, times are past him. And the way that he does still may be that. By the way, I know that is true.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
We still might be in that Belichick in past area. Kevin, you have anything?
Kevin
Yeah, Mine is Tennessee. The Vols QB Joey Aguilar this week. Big game. And it can be even bigger because Nico has played so bad in the first couple of games for ucla. So if he goes out and beats Georgia, it's like a highly anticipated game and a lot of people like him. Brandon talks about it and it's just like if he goes out and does this and beats Georgia, then you can put Nico in the pass and really put it all to bed.
Bobby Bones
That'll be an interesting game, especially because they're playing at Tennessee. Knoxville is such a hard place to do anything if you're not a member of the home squad.
Kevin
Yes.
Bobby Bones
It's so loud. It's so dynamic. They don't stop playing Rocky Top the whole time. Like, I don't like Tennessee, but I respect them. I don't. I dislike Texas and I don't respect them. I just want to put that in.
Eddie
That's clear.
Bobby Bones
It has nothing to do with anything. I just want to say that as well.
Eddie
Are you going, Kevin?
Kevin
No, no. I got a couple kids that won't allow me to go.
Eddie
Oh, I didn't know. Just big fan. I didn't know you were gonna make.
Kevin
I'll be watching, though, on tv. Yeah. From home.
Bobby Bones
Arkansas is going to Tennessee this year.
Eddie
Oh, do you go into that?
Bobby Bones
I would like to, but I'd also like to go to Ole Miss this weekend, but I still haven't committed to that yet.
Eddie
Yeah. How many games could you go to? Like, just.
Bobby Bones
I don't understand your question.
Eddie
Respectfully.
Bobby Bones
Respectfully.
Eddie
We have a wife. You're married. Respectfully. Like, how many games a season could you.
Bobby Bones
Many as I want, probably.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, you're saying, like, so not true.
Eddie
Just like, you know. You know how you get a sense of like, when the wife will say yes. What's your number of like, oh, I can probably go to three games this season.
Bobby Bones
I could go to Ole Miss this weekend. I already told her, hey, I may go to Ole Miss. And she's like, cool.
Kevin
Does she go?
Bobby Bones
She doesn't want to go. Nah. But she doesn't care. Like, she doesn't care about that.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Can't go to Memphis because we'll be in Vegas for I heart. We will go over for the Arkansas Notre Dame game after that. Is it Tennessee? It could do that. Texas A M. Is there.
Kevin
Dang.
Bobby Bones
Yeah.
Eddie
Well, that'd be cool.
Kevin
Notre Dame.
Bobby Bones
I mean, I could probably go to like five.
Eddie
Five.
Bobby Bones
That's good.
Eddie
That's good.
Kevin
Pretty good.
Bobby Bones
Well, if they're in Fayetteville, her sister lives there.
Eddie
Ah, good point.
Kevin
Yep.
Eddie
So she can always make it a visit to go see her sister.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. And our brother in law coaches there.
Kevin
Perfect. Right?
Bobby Bones
So all that works, which is why when D.J. was. Well, I never said that on this show. He got offered a job. I'm not gonna say what the job was. And I was very positive about that job also. I didn't want him to take it. So I was positive about not leaving as well. And so I was glad he didn't leave because it gives us a reason to be there more than just me going for games.
Eddie
That's a genius, dude.
Bobby Bones
But it was tough cause he got offered a big job and he called me, he said, heaven offered this job. My brother in law coaches. He's the head assistant at Arkansas or he's the associate head coach at Arkansas and softball. He's like, what do you think? And I was like, pretty legit. I was like, tons of resources, great city. I said, but you know, I'm biased because nobody loves Arkansas more than me. I said, but you really have to consider this and how much money More and a lot. A lot more money. But he turned it down. And I was so happy just because I want it out selfishly.
Eddie
Yeah, dude, that's a big. I mean, I didn't think about that. It's funny, those are the kinds of things where like, I would see it later and be like, oh, I'm so glad that they live there. And that means I can go to so many games and my wife can see her sister. But not you. You were four, you were thinking ahead of this.
Bobby Bones
Like, way ahead.
Eddie
If he leaves, this is gonna be trouble. Yeah.
Kevin
Dang, that's smart.
Eddie
So smart.
Kevin
I'm trying to think where my wife's family is all spread out. I'm like, where can I go next?
Bobby Bones
I saw an ad on TikTok. And I guess it wasn't so much an ad, but it was a video that went viral of the ad of the Apple AirPods 3. When they come out, they'll be able to translate languages.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Legit.
Kevin
Oh, yeah. On the fly.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So when I watched the lady do it, because it was like the presentation on the stage and she's like, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 will feature translating AirPods. And so the person has them in and they go into a store and they only speak Spanish in the store. And so she's in and she's like, I would like these flowers. And the woman's like, would you say, what are you trying to say? They say something like, yeah, we have a lot of flowers for sale.
Eddie
Si tenemos munchos flores para, para compra.
Bobby Bones
And she's like, I don't know what that is. So she hits a button on her AirPod and then it goes, what am I supposed to say? English?
Eddie
Oh, yes, I have lots of flowers here to sell to you.
Bobby Bones
So she hears that.
Eddie
I figure that's how it sounds, right?
Bobby Bones
She hears that. And then the question is, well, how do you talk back to them. And so what you do is you talk back in English, but you hold your phone out and it writes it on the phone.
Brandon Marcelo
Wow.
Bobby Bones
In Spanish.
Eddie
That's legit, man.
Bobby Bones
Dang. How crazy is that? We used to have a Korean housekeeper, and that was a deal where we couldn't, like, it was hard. So she would, like, talk into her phone and it would spit it out in English, and then sometimes it wouldn't work. And there's a really funny thing on TikTok too, where this person, he goes and he acts like he doesn't know English, and he goes up to people just walking in a park and he'll say things like, da, da, da, da, da. I don't know what language it is. And it goes, can you lead me to the bathroom? And the person goes, yes. It's around the corner, take a left. And so it records it in. And then he hits translate back to him and he's like. And it's like something super racist.
Kevin
Oh, no.
Bobby Bones
It's like he's pranking them. That's pretty funny.
Eddie
That's funny.
Bobby Bones
I thought the AirPods Pro 3. That's pretty cool.
Kevin
That's legit. Yeah. He can travel everywhere.
Bobby Bones
One of the more intriguing things to come out of Tuesday's Big Apple event or about the AirPods Pro 3, a new live translation feature that will be part of the iOS 6.26update. A star Trek, like, universal translation feature that will record a user's speech and automatically translate it onto the screen of their iPhones to enable conversations between people who speak different languages. In addition, the update will come with changes that will expand battery life from six hours to eight. That is from Yahoo Finance.
Eddie
You think you can get around in Mexico, like, knowing what you know? The Spanish that you know.
Bobby Bones
Not just based off the Spanish I know, like.
Eddie
If they didn't know any English.
Bobby Bones
That's my thing. I've never been anywhere and I've been to a decent amount of places now. They always know English. I know, like, any country I've been to, even Japan, There have been parts of Japan where they didn't quite know all of it, but they still understood some of it. Yeah. So I've never felt, oh, I'm isolated and alone because nobody knows my language. I've been to places where I feel very far away from home, but everybody's always known English.
Eddie
But don't you do a thing where.
Bobby Bones
Like, I do louder. I go louder.
Eddie
No, no, no. You're like in another country. So you kind of speak English to them, but kind of in their accent.
Bobby Bones
Well, that too.
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
Yeah. My wife says, oh, yeah, like their accent or something.
Eddie
Even though Bobby speaks perfect English.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. That's a good one. Like Chinese restaurants. This happens a lot.
Kevin
What happens? What do you say?
Bobby Bones
Well, I say it in English, but then. Because they're speaking to me in English, but it's a difficult English and I can tell they're really struggling, so I'm trying to say it back in English in their accent. So we meet in the middle. It's kind of a middle ground.
Eddie
Or it's almost like you speak English like a third grader. Yes, I would love a cup of water.
Bobby Bones
The accent, and you got it.
Eddie
I'm not doing it.
Bobby Bones
But yeah, I do that. And I don't even need to do that sometimes. My wife's like, you can't do that. I'm like, what? You can't talk back to them with a Chinese accent with your English?
Kevin
It's not like talking to somebody, like, with a Southern accent. Like, I don't have one, but like, I don't know. Sometimes you get.
Bobby Bones
But I know what you're.
Kevin
Conversation or. No, that's different.
Bobby Bones
No, not the same. Because I know what you're saying. If we're speaking English and it's regional dialect, there's no. You may not understand me. So I don't need to do what you're doing in order for you to feel it. If it's a whole different language where the words are just they, then I do need to add my. Their accent to their. To the English. It helps.
Eddie
I feel like we do that with you sometimes, though. Like, you know, if you're like, oh, the address is 4798. And you're like, 4798.
Bobby Bones
Not true.
Eddie
That way you understand us.
Bobby Bones
But like, in Germany. We were in Germany and I was. I was like, hey, I like to get us. We went to this fair, this, like, street fair. I wanted a smoothie and a hot dog. And I was like, one. I point at a hot dog and strawberry smoothie. You do want the strawberry smoothie in the hot dog? Yes, strawberry smoothie and the hot dog, please.
Eddie
And what do you think they're thinking?
Bobby Bones
Like, hopefully they think, well, we appreciate English just like I do. Or they think, this is them thinking at my English is great because the English guy's talking back to me exactly how I said it. You ever think about that? Maybe I'm building them up.
Eddie
Yeah, maybe. Maybe.
Kevin
Point.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. So that's what's up? A bunch of good games. Here's the winner. You want the winner?
Kevin
Let's go.
Eddie
Hold on, let me pull it up.
Kevin
We got.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to give you the winner. Now, I cannot guarantee anything because I don't guarantee anything, but I'm going to give you the winner and make sure the line's still the same.
Eddie
Come on, baby.
Bobby Bones
Will you pull up your draftkings Heaven?
Kevin
Yep. I gotta go verify it.
Bobby Bones
You do the face and then it sends you the text?
Kevin
Yep.
Eddie
Oh, really? I just do face?
Bobby Bones
It doesn't give you a text verification.
Eddie
It doesn't. Sometimes when, like I wear sunglasses and not reading the face, I gotta do the whole thing. But do you ever smile for your face or do you just put it in front of your face?
Bobby Bones
I just put it. I don't smile.
Eddie
I don't know. It's this thing where like, it's like, let me reading face ID and I give it a nice little smile.
Kevin
I got a friend that's in town, by the way way yesterday to sign up using Bobby Sports.
Bobby Bones
Oh, nice job.
Kevin
Yes.
Bobby Bones
I'm going to bet 500 bucks.
Eddie
Whoa, whoa.
Bobby Bones
You don't have to. I'm just. I'm just telling you guys what I'm doing so, you know, I'm not just talking it, I'm living it.
Eddie
NFL?
Bobby Bones
No, college. Oregon minus 27 and a half right now. Let's go at Northwestern in Chicago.
Kevin
Let's go, Ducks.
Eddie
They're in Chicago.
Kevin
They're.
Bobby Bones
Northwestern is the home team, so I'm assuming. Unless it's a neutral site game, I don't know why that would be doubtful. That's it. So take a second and add it.
Kevin
27 and a half. Yep, I see it.
Eddie
What time is that game?
Kevin
11. That's the only thing that worries me a little bit. Pacific time.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Pacific to Central. At least it's not Pacific to Eastern.
Kevin
At least. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oregon is so good.
Kevin
At least it's not a midnight game either. Yeah, Oregon's.
Bobby Bones
You mean 11 o'? Clock? The 11 o'.
Kevin
Clock, yeah. Michigan State. What the heck is that?
Bobby Bones
Crazy Eddie, you heard about this? No.
Eddie
Tell me about you.
Bobby Bones
Tell them about it.
Kevin
Yeah. So Michigan State and USC play next week. Week four, I believe. And because of TV stuff and they gotta rearrange the games and start times, kickoff times. Michigan State's playing in USC in LA at 11:00pm Eastern.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Kevin
Yeah. 8:00pm local time. But Michigan coming from Michigan State, that's tough. That'll be 11pm Eastern. That's insane. Yeah.
Eddie
It's crazy, man. I mean, that won't until midnight for us. One. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Oh, no, later. One, 1:30.
Eddie
Oh, my goodness.
Bobby Bones
But imagine if you're. If you're Michigan State.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
Like, brutal.
Kevin
How do you adjust to that as a player?
Bobby Bones
You don't. You just try to batten down the hatches for one game.
Eddie
That's brutal. Tell you what though, dude, I feel like a loser when I'm up at like midnight watching those late games.
Bobby Bones
Well, it's because you bet on them.
Eddie
Yes. And I bet because you're just a.
Bobby Bones
Fan of the sport.
Eddie
I get it.
Bobby Bones
And yes, you should. You should.
Eddie
Because like, I've at it since like 11:00am you know, sometimes even 10, 9, 30, watching game day. And then here I am, like at midnight, like barely awake. Come on, eat. One more touchdown.
Bobby Bones
The problem is you're betting like $1 to stay awake.
Eddie
Not. Not true.
Bobby Bones
And I would say that you're staying awake and you're exhausting yourself that your time is worth more than $1 or $2.
Eddie
It's not $1 if I'm watching the nightcap, dude. I'm catching up. I'm trying to like.
Bobby Bones
Okay, you're chasing a dollar, Chase.
Kevin
Okay, same thing, same thing.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. If it were like a substantial bet, even a $20 bet, I'd be like, eddie, good. But you're like staying up for five bucks.
Eddie
Last, last weekend I was doing 20s.
Bobby Bones
You were.
Eddie
I was chasing, dude. And I hit him. Yeah, I hit him.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, chasing.
Eddie
Thank you, Fresno State.
Bobby Bones
I. I chased hard because I. I told you I dropped all that money. I want all the money. I dropped it all back.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Luckily I hit pretty good at the end there to get us. Give me back to like 80% of where I was at my height. Yeah, Chase guys out there. Don't chase.
Eddie
Don't chase. Take it from us.
Bobby Bones
Don't chase.
Eddie
Just take your loss, man. It's okay.
Bobby Bones
Yes. National Video Game Day. Did you guys play video games as kids?
Eddie
Oh, yeah.
Bobby Bones
Tech mobile yet? Top three video games of all time, according to each of you. And I'll go first. I'm the only one that still plays, I think.
Eddie
Correct. My kids play. I'll jump on once in a while to play them.
Bobby Bones
But Eddie used to play.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
You don't play anymore when. You know why? Because his account got hacked and he just couldn't log back in.
Kevin
Oh. Still, that was like three years ago, wasn't.
Eddie
Yeah, I had. And they took my credit card and everything. And then I tried to. I have a new Account. But it's just you all don't even know the name of it. Like, I don't even use it.
Bobby Bones
Okay, so why we know the name of it? Correct. Top three video games ever. Number one, Madden. All forms, all time, forever. Me, according to me. Yeah, according to me, the game I've played the most straight up Madden. That's number one. Number two, all time, Mario Kart.
Kevin
Oh, man. All right.
Bobby Bones
In the different iterations, Mario Kart is awesome. Especially you got a bunch of friends. You don't even need to be an avid video game player, or as we like to call them in the biz, a gamer to enjoy Mario Kart. You can play it. You can get pretty good at it pretty quick. And it's like a family thing. Anybody. We used to play if it's. If it's on a tour bus in college, like, that's where 007 comes in. And I'm not gonna put that at three. We played that so much golden.
Kevin
That's a good one. The music don'.
Eddie
The high school for you, college. High school for me. One year. Dude, relax. We're one year apart.
Bobby Bones
I thought goldeneye was crazy because multiple people could play it at the same time.
Eddie
Yeah, yeah.
Bobby Bones
That was because it's. The screen would be split into halves or quads.
Eddie
That was so, like, this is crazy.
Bobby Bones
So I'm gonna go Madden 1. I'm going Mario Kart 2. And the other game that I've probably. And I don't want to just fall to sports games because it's a chump thing to do. I've played more sports games than anything else. But at number three, I think I'm gonna put Sonic the Hedgehog, because my cousin had a Sega. Get a Sega. And I was like, you gotta. Or Contra. Scotty had a Nintendo Contra.
Eddie
Contra was good, bro.
Bobby Bones
Contra was. I'm gonna go Conva.
Kevin
I don't even know what Contra is.
Eddie
It's a gun game.
Bobby Bones
Before gun games, it was. It was like. Yeah, Gun swinging jungle.
Kevin
Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, now that I see that. Yeah. No, no.
Bobby Bones
I'm gonna go Contra three.
Eddie
This is hard. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
So I'm going.

You had to beat Super. Yeah.
Eddie
And then Mr. Sandman. Z in there.
Bobby Bones
Oh, he put you to sleep.

Eddie
Good times, man.
Bobby Bones
What else you got?
Eddie
Oh, and then my last one is gonna be Tecmo Bowl.
Kevin
Nice.
Eddie
Tech Mobile. The original Tecmo bowl. Where if you got good one. If you got the Raiders with Bo Jackson and Marcus Allen, you weren't losing. Dude. What I would awesome is once you break, you know, the tackle or whatever, then the whole defense starts chasing you. And you could go down the sideline right before the one yard line, come back around down the other sideline, and you can have them chase you for like, over and over and over and over and over. They'd never get you because then they.
Kevin
Like, form up into a ball basically and chase you.
Eddie
Yes.
Kevin
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
I was never good at that.
Kevin
You weren't?
Eddie
It was the 49ers with Joe Montana, Jerry Rice. Like, that was just guaranteed. And then the Raiders with Bo Jackson.
Bobby Bones
And the Chiefs with Christian Okoye.
Eddie
That's true.
Bobby Bones
Dude.
Eddie
He would just blow up lines.
Kevin
I met him one time.
Bobby Bones
You did? Yeah.
Kevin
He came and spoke at a like a team dinner that we had in high school before our first playoff game, I believe. Give us like a hype speech.
Eddie
Did he go to your school?
Kevin
No. I don't know how they got it. I can't remember, but it was pretty cool.
Bobby Bones
Barry Sanders was also pretty good, but he was no Christian Akoya, Bo Jackson, those are the two.
Eddie
They were awesome.
Bobby Bones
You Guys going to bet on the Cowboys and Patriots against each other?
Eddie
I don't know. Kevin wants to do this bet and I'm like, dude, we're already doing some big, big stuff over here.
Kevin
Yeah, but this is like our thing, like, against each other. You know, we're like a team over here. And all the other stuff and the fantasies individual. But me and you, I mean, you talk so much, how you're hyped about your Cowboys.
Eddie
You want to do a hundred dollars on what?
Bobby Bones
You guys are gonna lose too much money. I already feel guilty that you're doing my league.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
That's now our league.
Eddie
I know.
Bobby Bones
Did you guys see where we are right now?
Kevin
No, I haven't checked in a couple.
Eddie
No. Do we want to know?
Kevin
I tried to put it out of my mind because it's going to consume me so much this weekend.
Bobby Bones
Can you pull up our four games?
Eddie
Kevin is doing. Kevin's like, counting how much we owe every week. And I'm like, don't do that.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. You're going to drive yourself crazy. Because if you start doing that, if we get ahead, you're also going to drive yourself crazy.
Kevin
I know. I'm going to go to Vegas with no. With money I don't even have yet.
Eddie
Just don't do something you'll regret. Dude.
Kevin
Hey, thanks, Mr. Stamp till 2 in the morning.
Bobby Bones
Okay, you guys ready?
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
In our Skins League right now, we are minus 600. Oh, could have been worse.
Kevin
Are we. No, I'm not. Are we the worst? Are we. Do we owe the most right now?
Bobby Bones
There's.
Kevin
Are we tied?
Bobby Bones
There's a minus 600. There's two people that are even with. They got four skins. There's somebody that is 1200 up.
Eddie
So we are the worst.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, we're the worst. They're up 1200 bucks. Oh, okay.

Bobby Bones

Eddie

Kevin
Yeah, one's at six. And nine are times nine, dude.
Bobby Bones
Nine.
Eddie
I might be sick. On Tuesday.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. YouTube's first ever NFL broadcast pulled in 17 million viewers. People were giving the YouTube broadcast a hard time. I thought it was pretty good. I did think was pretty good. I mean, there were things that obviously they didn't have a rhythm because they'd never done it before, but I thought it was pretty good.
Eddie
Yeah, I noticed it.
Bobby Bones
Like what?
Kevin
The announcers, all.
Bobby Bones
They were like, the YouTube broker sucks. No, I liked it.
Kevin
I mean, it's not the best just because, I mean, you're in a totally different country. And not only that, you don't have the infrastructure that you do everywhere else.
Bobby Bones
And the crew's not the same. It's the NFL Network guys, which are Rich and Kurt Warner. They're not calling games every week. Yeah, they're calling mostly just the games when they're overseas.
Kevin
Yeah.
Eddie
So that was the Brazil game.

I think Rich Eisen did great.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, Rich, what do you think about that, buddy? He's a big listener.
Eddie
Listens all the time.

VGW Group Void where prohibited by law. CTNC's 21/on with Brandon Marcelo first question Brandon Marcelo Is USF any good?
Brandon Marcelo
I think they are. You know they've got a quarterback in Byron Brown who's legit. Two years ago he really came onto the scene as a Guy that was even getting some notice by like NFL scouts. Then last year he got injured. He, he broke his leg, missed eight games. So we didn't quite get quite to see him back that back up. But this year he's healthy and he's a runner, he's a thrower. He's a big reason why they beat Boise State the way they did. He's the reason why they beat Florida in the Swamp with that last drive. But also, man, USF's defense has been phenomenal. I mean, they held Boise State to seven points. They, they held Florida to only 16 in the swamp. Will they beat Miami? Probably not. I think Miami's really, really good. Better than those two teams. But USF's legitimately probably maybe the best Group of Six team out there. And if that ends up being the case, they may very well end up making the playoff this year.
Bobby Bones
I read your article last week. I think it was Saturday night when it came out that was about USF and kind of that story. And I start to think, is their head coach, is he the new darling higher if he wins a couple more big games?
Brandon Marcelo
Yeah, probably so. You know, when ucf, not usf. Ucf. And then also Tennessee was getting hot under Josh Hypo, one of the big reasons why was Alex Golish. He's. He was his offensive coordinator who's calling plays. He was previously at Tennessee before USF hired him. Having said that, it may be difficult to pull Alex Gollish away from USF for a Power 4 gig. And the reason why I say that is because USF's got a lot of money. They've been investing a lot of money. They're building a $350 million football stadium right now on campus. They've invested a lot in the program, building facilities, indoor practice facility, and they're trying to become that next, you know, team that rises from not necessarily abyss, but ends up being part of Tier one. And by Tier one, I mean we're getting into an era now because of revenue sharing and nil, where a lot of people think there's another great shift coming in the next five to 10 years where, you know, like we did in 1978 when we decided to go from, you know, like a Division 1 type thing to where we had FBS and FCS teams. It's possible. Well, some people seem to think that we're going to go into a situation where it's going to be the power conferences are pretty much just playing each other and then the rest of college football is in the second tier and then the third tier is fcs. And USF wants to be part of that, that first tier and they're making those moves to do so. Financially, I think it might end up being very difficult for Alex Golish to sit there and go say, like a job, a mid tier job in the SEC were to open up. I, I think it'd probably pretty difficult to pull him away from USF for a job like that. It had to be a big gig.
Bobby Bones
Well, not to spend all of our time in Florida, but one other Florida thing I wanted to talk about was Billy Napier. Tough year last year. Then it got pretty good at the end and so they give him a new contract and he loses right away. So again, like, what is that program feeling right now?
Brandon Marcelo
They feel like they're lost in the, in the, in the swamp. They can't get out of the muck. It's crazy to think that that program has not been 20 to start a season since 2021. And that was also Dan Mullins last year, the year they fired him. So it's, there's no reason why Florida should be struggling the way they have been. You know, Billy Napier's career record is right at around.500 at Florida. That just doesn't cut it there. He's gonna have to do something pretty miraculous, I think, to keep his job this year. But the thing is there, at a job like that, you have opportunities to do so. You know, their next four opponents are all ranked, I think their next three opponents all ranked number seven or better in the AP poll. So you look at it and go, well, he's screwed. But I thought the same thing late last season, mid last season, you know, people down there were like, yeah, he's toast. So I was talking to people who even wrote an article about it, but then they reeled off all these wins against these ranked opponents. But you know, he's in a situation where he's got the talent to win. It's just, it's the same stuff popping up, up over and over again. It's penalties. I mean, you had a player spit in the face of a USF player that kept, helped keep a drive alive. You've got really bad play calls. They get the ball back with under three minutes remaining, trying to ice the game with a lead, and they end up throwing the ball and only burning like 15 seconds off the clock. It's just bad decision, bad decision and then undisciplined play. And that's been the common ground course for them for the last three Years. And Billy Napier has had every opportunity to correct that and change that, and it hasn't changed.
Bobby Bones
You think Arkansas could beat Ole Miss?
Brandon Marcelo
Yes, I picked Ole Miss, but it was very difficult. It's one of those games where you look down, up and down the list. You always go, there's going to be, you always know there's going to be like two or three upsets every week, whether it's a nationally ranked team or not. But just an upset. And that was one of the prime ones I had circled. But then when I looked at just kind of the matchups and everything, and also with it being on the road for Arkansas, I couldn't quite make that decision and pick, pick the Hogs. I, I also think that, you know, I, I completely forgot that Ole Miss just beat the crud out of them last year, scoring 63 points. Was it, I think it was a. Yeah, it's terrible.
Bobby Bones
Is awful. Yeah, it was embarrassing.
Brandon Marcelo
Never scored that many points.
Bobby Bones
It was like they just kept scoring too. It was like, please put in worse players. It was one of those games too, where I think it was near the end issue. I feel like we're playing a different time this year than last year and like they were trying to make their case with us, like mid to late season.
Brandon Marcelo
Yeah, that and, you know, I do think that there's, there's a little bit of a rivalry there from the standpoint. If you remember, two years ago, the Hogs beat the crud out of them, and then last year Ole Miss beats the crud out of Arkansas. So, so I, I, I think that there's some, some personal beef there in a lot of ways among the coaches, and I'm fascinated to see what happens, but I, I just couldn't quite pick the Hogs. Taylor Green's got to play a clean game for them to win.
Bobby Bones
Are you gonna go?
Brandon Marcelo
No, I'm, I'm doing a TV sideline this week for smu, Missouri State for CBS Sports Network. So I can't go.
Bobby Bones
Oh, that'd be cool.
Brandon Marcelo
Yeah, it should be fun. It's supposed to be like 96 degrees on the sideline. I gotta wear a sports coat. So that might be like Bruce Pearl out there sweating through sports coat.
Bobby Bones
Were you in Oklahoma, Oklahoma, Michigan last week?
Brandon Marcelo
Yeah. Yeah.
Bobby Bones
What'd you think, What'd you think about Mater?
Brandon Marcelo
I, I thought he looked great. He took the game over at times when he had to ran the ball 19 times. They weren't expecting that, but he had to do it to, to kind of clinch that win. I Never felt like Oklahoma was in threat of losing that game against Michigan and oh, he's only going to get better this year, man. Mattier and that offense. I think he's one of those type of quarterbacks that's going to make everybody around him better week to week, but also that's going to transcend, transcend the offense and I think bleed over to the defense, which I think is already good. I think OU could be an, an SEC championship contender by the end of the year. I really do.
Bobby Bones
Clemson did not look great against Troy. They ended up winning it and they're going to Georgia Tech this week. They're only a four point favorite. Like, what is this Clemson team even?
Brandon Marcelo
I, I can't make sense of it, man. Like it's the same issues offensively we saw that were issues two years ago popping back up. They can't really run the ball effectively. Kate club next. Making mistakes that are almost unforced errors at times. I thought they got over that last year and apparently not now. It might just be one game hiccup against Troy, but I don't think so because LSU game, they couldn't run the ball and they made some dumb mistakes. And then Troy, you saw what happened there with them getting down big early and having to rally late and they still didn't play clean football. This was also one of those games, man, like the Ole Miss, Arkansas one where I had circled as a potential upset and I couldn't quite make that decision either. But that's a game I think very much. Clemson's on upset alert.
Bobby Bones
I got a couple of the games. Before I get to the games, I did see a clip. It was at the press conference for I think Venables at ou and one of the reporters was like, hey, it's kind of like a crappy bowl game. Like the fans aren't even filling up the stadium. Did you happen to see that clip and do you think that has any effect on a Temple team who's in Philadelphia and they're being told they're kind of a joke school. If you haven't seen the clip, then it'll be lost on you. But yeah, it was a hot mic and a reporter from. Oh, you was like, yeah, it's kind of terrible up there.
Brandon Marcelo
Oh, no. Oh, I did see on, on social media that the Temple coach may be using that.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I'm sure.
Brandon Marcelo
Motivation for his team. Yeah, good for him. I would too. I, I'll say Keeler, he's a, he was a great hire for Temple. They're doing Very well early. I don't think OHU is going to lose to him, obviously, but they can make life tough for them up there. And you don't need to be giving any team like that any type of motivation, extra motivation because then you get emotions involved and all of a sudden players are getting hurt, if you know what I mean. You know, they're going after guys low, so that, that's not a good thing. That reporter better hope nothing bad happens because he might be feeling the wrath of that coaching staff.
Bobby Bones
All right, two more games. A&M's going to Notre Dame. Notre Dame's full touchdown favorite. Is A and M good?
Brandon Marcelo
I don't know yet. Man, they've got great wide receivers. Casey's conception, who came over from NC State, could be a baller, but they're spreading the ball around a lot, a lot here the first two games. I think part of that, to me, I'm just reading into it is because they're trying to figure out who their top guys are. And this could end up being a potent, potent offense and they're just trying to figure things out early. The difference here in this game, though, is I think Notre Dame's got the better rushing attack if they decide to commit to it. And by that I mean, if you saw a season opener, Notre Dame only ran the ball 28 times against Miami. They should have ran at 35 to 40 times because they were able to run the ball effectively. And Notre Dame probably has the best running back in the country in Jeremiah Love. And he only ran the ball like 10 times, a little over 10 times. You need to be giving him the ball 25 times a game, in my opinion, whether it's through the air or carrying the ball. I was also looking at an interesting stat. Notre Dame, Jeremiah Love. If you remember, in the College Football Playoff, the very first game, he broke off a 98 yard touchdown run, but since then he's averaging like 2 point something yards per carry. Something. Something's happened. I. I don't know what. Maybe it's just the, the way they've gone about game planning and they're not giving him the ball enough to get him into a rhythm. But they need to figure it out because it's a trend since that first round playoff game that Notre Dame's got an amazing potential running game and can run the ball is just. It doesn't seem to be clicking right now. And I think part of that's just the, the play calling.
Bobby Bones
Who'd you pick in that game?
Brandon Marcelo
I picked Notre Dame because It's at home. And I think A and M offensively is still trying to figure a few things out.
Bobby Bones
Last game, Georgia at Tennessee. Georgia is a 4 1/2 point favorite as of right now. Who did you pick in that game? And then is Aguilar the guy at Tennessee, Is he like the guy?
Brandon Marcelo
I picked Georgia and a lot of this, I rarely pick a team based off of like one or two injuries on the other team, but I kind of went that way this time because Tennessee's not going to have their two starting cornerbacks in this game. And Georgia with Gunner Stockton. Gunner Stockton is underwhelmed at quarterback this year. I was impressed with him so much last year when I watched him the SEC championship game and then in person in the, in the Sugar bowl in the college football playoffs. And he has not done too hot here these first two games. But I, I think that we've seen in the past with Josh Hypo's offenses for whatever reason when they go against great defenses, which Georgia obviously has, just go look at the stats this year, they really kind of struggle and that happened last year. I kind of wrestle with this, Bobby, and I know this, I'm going back and forth here. But the problem is, is like Tennessee had a Nico Iamaliava problem last year, to be quite honest, at quarterback he was phenomenal against just really bad teams. Group of five teams, FCS teams. Then once they got in the sec, he looked completely different. Arkansas figured him out in a lot of ways even though OU beat them. Oh, you figured him out. And Tennessee had to run the ball to kind of put that game away. Georgia's something that can go in there and slow down that offense. But to your second part of your question, I'm a big believer in Joey Aguilar based off what I've seen off the tape right now. And we actually ran a story@cbssports.com I think earlier this week about how the, the staff there and his teammates there trust him so much more than they did Nico one because of just how he performs on the field, but also what kind of person and the people he surrounds himself with off the field. So this should be a great game. I think it'll be a game that's in the 20s. I don't trust Gunner Stockton at this point. I trust Joey Aguilar, but I trust Kirby Smarts defense more.

VGW Group Void we're prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. Games that are of interest to me Alabama is hosting Wisconsin. Alabama is a 20 point favorite. I'm just curious as to what Alabama does the rest of the year. If they go real fast and beat the crap out of people or if they do kind of suck and if they if they don't crush Wisconsin, it's going to be. It's going to start being really ugly there. I can only imagine though, living in a town like Tuscaloosa and everybody already wants you out. It's not like you're living in New York City.
Kevin
A year and a game in. Two games in.
Eddie
How small is Tuscaloosa?
Bobby Bones
Very small. You've been there, haven't you?
Eddie
Never been to Alabama. Been Auburn.
Bobby Bones
Well that's in Alabama.
Eddie
I mean I've never been to University of Alabama.
Kevin
Got it.
Eddie
Never been.
Bobby Bones
Never did a show. I've been. I've been in Tuscaloosa a few times doing shows. You never been to that? Always just comedy Without Eddie.
Eddie
Oh, we did do a Tuscaloos a long, long, long, long time ago. We drove the Sprinter. Sprinter van.
Bobby Bones
I don't know, I don't remember what we drove.
Eddie
Places, kind of.
Bobby Bones
I just know I've been there a few times. I've been a couple games there too. Miserable experiences.
Kevin
It's cool because Arkansas.
Bobby Bones
Oh, yeah. Because we got beat. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Kevin
I went for the game against Tennessee last year. Two years ago, win or lose, Tennessee lost. They're up a half and then blew in second half.
Bobby Bones
You're not a real, real fan though.
Eddie
He says he is.
Kevin
I was rooting hard.
Bobby Bones
Man, you're wearing a Celtics hat in the middle of college football. Hey, more in a Patriots hat.
Kevin
I know. You know why? I wore the Patriots one last week and they lost, so I got to switch it up.
Eddie
Okay.
Kevin
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
I'm curious to see what happens in the South Florida Miami game. Just because South Florida is the darling. Through two games they beat two top 25 teams. Look, I don't know that Boise State's any good, but they did beat them when they were ranked week one, which got them a little attention.
Kevin
Yeah, I don't know how good.
Bobby Bones
I don't know how good Florida is, but we will see now if they're good going to play Miami.
Kevin
That's three tough games too.
Bobby Bones
Yeah. Another game that's interesting is Ole Miss. Arkansas. Not only for personal reasons, but I think there are some people picking Arkansas. But Ole miss is an 8 1/2 point favorite. I probably won't bet that.
Eddie
I bet you. I bet you do. When it comes down to it, I.
Bobby Bones
Bet you you're probably right. But I don't feel confident betting it. And right now I have no plans to bet it. I don't have any plans to go, but I still might go now.
Kevin
What?
Bobby Bones
But I don't think I'm not going to go by myself.
Kevin
When do you like make that final decision to go or not? Because where? I mean, work. What, two days away?
Eddie
Yeah, dude, it's getting close.
Bobby Bones
Tomorrow.
Kevin
That's awesome.
Bobby Bones
Why?
Kevin
Just because, like. Cool. Let's just. I don't know, you're just sitting around. Ah, yeah. 12 hours before kickoff. I'll go. Why not?
Eddie
Yeah.
Kevin
I feel like if we were to go or like usually when we do stuff, it's like, you know, a week, couple weeks advance or.
Eddie
Well, you don't have to worry about tickets or anything. Right? You gotta.
Bobby Bones
Yeah, I have no idea. I'd not ask anybody.
Eddie
Yeah, but I mean, you got numbers.
Bobby Bones
I would Just show up and you can always get tickets to anything.
Kevin
Scalp them.
Eddie
I did that to a Cowboys game. Didn't go in, dude. There were no scalpers and my son was crying outside.
Bobby Bones
Scalpers. Why not get on an app and just buy them on an app? You don't have to just go to humans holding them up, dude.
Eddie
At that point when it was like right there, I didn't find anything under $400.
Bobby Bones
Well, worst case scenario, I would buy the tickets at an elevated price or I would wait till after like the first quarter when they. The bottom drops out because they know anything that wasn't sold, they're now going to sell pretty easy. Unless we're down like 30. Nothing in the first quarter. Then I just go home.
Eddie
Go back in your car.
Kevin
Did that at a bowl game a couple years ago, too. Gave the guy 100 bucks cash. Let four of us in.
Eddie
Rose Bowl. Right.
Kevin
Right at the beginning. No, right here. The Music City Bowl.
Bobby Bones
Rose Bowl. He didn't get in?
Kevin
No, we never got in.
Eddie
You guys were in the parking lot.
Kevin
Dude, that was. Oh, my God. That was a nightmare.
Bobby Bones
The other game that I'm interested is South Carolina. Vanderbilt. And so South Carolina is ranked 11. And I like, this is like Iron Man, Captain America fighting because I like both the coaches. I like both the teams. Vanderbilt 2 and oh, playing South Carolina 2 0. Hey, listen, Vanderbilt put it to Virginia Tech. That's a real team. That's the same team South Carolina beats.
Eddie
Yeah.
Bobby Bones
Week one.
Kevin
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Much closer.
Bobby Bones
So South Carolina is a 6 1/2 point favorite right now. So that game's interesting to me. It'd be really cool if Vanderbilt won that game.
Kevin
I'm rooting for him, man.
Bobby Bones
I like South Carolina a lot. But it'd be really cool if Vanderbilt won because they're not supposed to win. If they were to win an SEC game this early. Oh, that'd be crazy. It'd be so hard to turn that program around because they have. The restrictions are harder there. You can't just take any player. They have to meet a certain criteria academically just to be at Vanderbilt.
Eddie
Really? They can't?
Bobby Bones
No. I think they lull the people that are close to that, whatever that criteria is set at. But they can't just take anybody and then fix it. They don't. That's why the school. That's why they're not good or that's why they traditionally haven't been good.
Eddie
Well, there's also players too, right. That like, with the COVID year, they like, don't have to go to school because, say, like they've already graduated but they still have a year of eligibility. You can still go, you can still play. Right.
Bobby Bones
I think you have to be enrolled though, in some sort.
Eddie
I don't know.
Kevin
Yeah, there's no way.
Eddie
Chorus maybe.
Bobby Bones
I think you get some hours.
Kevin
Usually you have to do. I believe it is nine units. So nine hours of class in order to be considered a full time student.
Eddie
What is three classes?
Bobby Bones
Three classes. But you could also do them online. They could be stupid classes. Yeah, that's gonna be it. I'm telling you. I'm feeling pretty good about that Oregon game.
Eddie
Good, dude, love it.
Kevin
I already put money on it.
Bobby Bones
I think that 700 for me. If it doesn't win, don't. Don't hold it against me. But I'm feeling pretty. I don't say anything that I don't bet myself.
Kevin
Let's go.
Bobby Bones
So we'll either be in pain together and then root for our NFL teams. I don't. I don't have the NFL schedule.
Kevin
So Patriots, Chiefs, Chiefs, Bucks and Bengals, just in general.
Bobby Bones
What's the game of the week?
Kevin
Probably the Chiefs and Eagles Sunday afternoon.
Eddie
Yeah, probably the game of the week.
Bobby Bones
I'm surprised that's a Sunday afternoon.
Kevin
Yeah, I'm sure.
Bobby Bones
Is that a three?
Kevin
A lot of money for that. Yeah. 3:30, Fox Prime.
Bobby Bones
Is that Tom Brady doing the call?
Kevin
Yeah. Interesting.
Bobby Bones
