Episode Overview

This lively episode of the 25 Whistles podcast digs into the chaotic weekend in college football, most notably the firing of Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman and the subsequent appointment of Bobby Petrino as interim head coach. The show navigates fan behavior during field-stormings, speculative Arkansas coaching searches, NIL challenges, and throws in smart (and not-so-smart) sports betting tips. Bobby also pitches a creative “revenue-share” NIL business idea and shares the awkwardness of supporting his struggling alma mater.

Major Discussion Points & Insights

1. Arkansas Coaching Turmoil: Sam Pittman Fired, Bobby Petrino Returns

• Breaking News Reaction
  • [03:33] Bobby expresses relief he didn’t attend what became Pittman’s last game following a humiliating loss, and reflects on outgrowing the instinct to call for firings:
    • “The more adult I get, the more I hate to see someone lose their job. But it was time for that job to switch.” – Bobby [05:10]
• Insider Info on How the Firing Unfolded:
  • Bobby shares that staff and public found out almost simultaneously; the loss made an immediate move necessary.
  • Parents could be heard yelling at Arkansas coaches in the near-empty stadium.
    • “It was like watching a peewee game... player parents, it was, it’s not what you expect from an SEC football team.” – Brandon Marcello [27:01]
• On Petrino’s Shot at Keeping the Job:
  • “It would be the miracle of miracles if they were to somehow get out of that to a situation where Arkansas is talking about…an eight-win season. It had to take something like that for Petrino to even be considered.” – Brandon Marcello [28:55]
  • Discussion of Petrino’s wild past, redemption arc, and why a permanent return is unlikely unless there’s a dramatic turnaround.

2. Can Arkansas Attract a Big-Name Coach?

• Candidate Speculation:
  • Names discussed include Rhett Lashlee (SMU), Dan Mullen (UNLV), top coordinators like Will Stein (Oregon), and Glenn Schumann (Georgia).
  • NIL and administrative stability will be critical to land top coaches:
    • “If Arkansas can get its ducks in a row and show...‘Here’s our [NIL] plan’...then tug on his heartstrings; he’s an Arkansas guy.” – Brandon Marcello (re: Rhett Lashlee) [31:02]
  • More openings are coming nationally—a “record-breaking year as far as coach openings.” [33:19]

3. Behind the Scenes: Coaching Hunts and NIL Money Problems

• How Searches Work:
  • “A lot of these schools...go hire a search firm...start making calls, gauging type of interest...but you’re not really talking directly to the coaches, you’re talking to their agents.” – Brandon Marcello [34:17]
  • Early firings get a head start, but actual hires happen after the season.
• NIL Paradox:
  • Bobby calls out irony of Arkansas being able to pay big for a firing but “not having enough” for NIL.
    • “It is ironic that Arkansas will go ahead and pay the extra 2 million for his buyout, but we don’t have enough money to support NIL.” – Bobby [43:38]
  • Coaches and boosters must get serious about competitive funding and organization.

4. Bobby’s Wild NIL Revenue Share Idea

• Bobby pitches a profit-driven NIL booster program:
  - “What if we could invest into these teams?...If we end up making $400, I get my percentage based on revenue with the money I gave.” – Bobby [43:55]
• Marcello’s Response:
  - “What a great idea. You should pitch it.” – Marcello [43:59]
  - Discussion centers on how fans would be more willing to ‘invest’ rather than just donate, especially if the program’s direction is uncertain.

5. College Football Reactions: On the Field and in the Stands

A. Quick-Hit Games & Moments

• Notable Wins and Upsets:
  • Field storming at Virginia-Florida State was “the quickest field storming I’ve ever seen.” – Bobby [15:08]

B. Post-Game Antics & Fan Behavior

• Is Flipping Off Players After a Win a "Punchable Offense"?
  • [15:52] Discussion on whether it’s out-of-bounds for students to flip off losing players during field stormings.
    • “Am I an old guy for thinking I was annoyed?” – Co-host [15:55]
    • “Ultimate loser that never would do that in that same situation anywhere other than right then and there…” – Bobby [16:52]
    • Consensus: It’s lame, disrespectful, and mostly for social media clout.

C. Gambling Woes and Betting Culture

• The “WTF Parlay” Fails Miserably:
  • “We did not expect it to hit. It was over immediately.” – Bobby [10:35]
  • Eddie and Bobby share struggles with betting, recounting late-night degeneracy, and advice to "stop betting what you don’t know." [52:08]
  • “Anytime you think you have anything figured out in gambling, that’s when it comes crashing down.” – Bobby [50:41]

6. Notable Sports Media & Broadcast Innovation

• Review Booth Audio:
  • Friday’s Virginia-Florida State game let fans hear the replay booth discussions, which the crew loved for transparency.
    • “We’re just used to watching the guy look at the screen and then blah. Now you get a real good understanding of like, oh, that does make sense.” – Eddie [53:56]
• Amazon’s ‘All 22’ Football Feed:
  • Excitement about extra camera angles and advanced broadcast options.

7. Memorable Quotes, Fun Tangents & Sidebars

• On Donating to a Losing Program:
  • “I’ve given hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few years… and they called me before the Notre Dame game: ‘You still want your sweet tickets?’ They’d never called before...” – Bobby [09:04]
• On Modern Short Shorts vs. ’90s Fashion:
  • “Every pair of shorts I have...go down to my knees. Chris Webber. It’s that.” – Bobby [17:44]
• On the Legend of Petrino and the Neck Brace:
  • “Every time we bring this up, I picture him like a boot, a cast and leg, just standing there in that neck brace.” – Co-host [07:26]

8. Heisman Race and Overhyped QBs

• Heisman Talk:
  • Dante Moore (Oregon), Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), Carson Beck (Georgia), and Ahmad Hardy (Missouri) get mentions. [41:40]
  • “Right now it seems like it’s going to be a quarterback award, which it really hasn’t been in recent history...” – Marcello [42:56]
• Top 5 Most Overhyped QBs (according to Kevin):
  • 5. Lenora Sellers (South Carolina)
  • 4. Arch Manning (Texas)
  • 3. Drew Allar (Penn State)

• On Coaching Firings:
  • “It sucks to see somebody lose their job, and the more adult I get, the more I hate to see someone lose their job. But it was time…” – Bobby [05:10]

  • “It is ironic that Arkansas will go ahead and pay the extra 2 million for his buyout, but we don’t have enough money to support NIL.” – Bobby [43:38]

This is a podcast called 25 Whistles.

[Bobby Bones]

Talking football.

[Kevin]

And they all wear a whistle yet Stupid.

[Bobby Bones]

But what did you expect? It's a podcast called 25 Whistles. 25 Whistles. Hey, welcome to the show. Blow that whistle, please. Thank you very much. Breaking news was Arkansas fired their coach? It's crazy. I'm glad I didn't go to the game.

[Eddie]

When did that happen?

[Bobby Bones]

What? That.

[Eddie]

The fire, the firing.

[Bobby Bones]

Sunday.

[Eddie]

Sunday.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, Sunday. Like in the first hour of the NFL games. Because me being the husband that I am, I told my wife, because I watched all football. I watched that Virginia game. Was that Thursday night or Friday?

[Eddie]

Friday night.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. So I watched a lot of that game. Watched football all day Saturday. And then I knew I was going to watch a lot Sunday, which is obvious. And she was like, hey, what part of the day can we go, like to the mall and go. And I was like, I'm going. The morning. Sunday. Thing about Sunday mornings, nothing's open Sunday mornings. Nothing opens until noon.

[Eddie]

Yeah, smart.

[Bobby Bones]

What?

[Eddie]

Smart. You said. You said, well, I'm open in the morning.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

No, dumb.

[Eddie]

So it's like, she's like, well, I only got you in the morning when everything's closed.

[Bobby Bones]

Dumb. Because it was. I needed to be there when it opened.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

So we did some stuff from like 12 to 1:30, which I didn't really care about because it's kind of a crappy slate of games, at least on the surface. And even the games that ended up being pretty good. Really, who cares? So we went to the mall and while we were at the mall shopping for all kinds of crap and we had lunch and then I get my phone up and it's like, sam Pittman fired. So it had to be in that window. But yeah, I saw it on Twitter. I knew it was going to happen.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I was told by a couple people before the game that there were going to be some changes regardless of what happened after the Notre Dame game. If we would have won, I think they probably would have changed a coordinator or so. If we would have lost maybe a coordinator, but because we got beat so bad, it was, you got to go and move off the coach. So they cut him. It sucks to see somebody lose their job, and the more adult I get, the more I hate to see someone lose their job. But it was time for that job to switch, and so we'll talk about it later.

[Eddie]

That's a good point, because when you're younger, you're just like, fire him.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, well. And you have a personal relationship with the guy. I mean, you can't help but to have that at least conflicted a little bit.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't know. It's like, the worse he got, the more I didn't have a relationship.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

You're like, haven't seen him in a few years.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, mostly because we weren't, like, close friends anyway, and there really weren't a lot of instances that I'd reach out to be like, hey, this is going good. Congratulations.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So there wasn't a reason to reach out.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's true.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I called him once. He called me once. We. I was looking at buying a house in Hot Springs. I think we talked about that. Go to the game, see him a little bit. But then it just. It went downhill.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

When. When do you think he kind of had the idea that he was getting fired?

[Bobby Bones]

Well, I think last year for a while.

[Eddie]

Okay. But then that went away.

[Bobby Bones]

I think the Tennessee win last year was so big for the program that that allowed him to keep his job. I think when Memphis happened.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

But, like, halftime of the Notre Dame game, he had to be in there like, damn, this is my last half. I'm done.

[Bobby Bones]

I think after Memphis, he knew this was going to be his last year. I think at Notre Dame half, he knew this is probably going to be his last game, especially going into the bye week.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That sucks.

[Bobby Bones]

So, yeah, it was a crazy weekend. I won't even say bad is embarrassing to get beat that bad on national television, but I think we kind of needed that to go ahead and tear off the band aid. What's crazy is, and it's probably not as crazy from the outside looking in, but the fact that Bobby Petrino is our head coach again is wild, considering when he went out, like, it was like a flame, a fireball on its way out because he wrecked the fricking motorcycle. Finger quotes. There was a whole situation where he was the girl. Yeah. He paid somebody to work for. For. It was a whole thing I just.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Picture him in a neck brace. Every time we bring this up, I just picture him maybe like a boot, a cast and leg, just standing there in that neck brace.

[Bobby Bones]

And people that worked for him talk about how terrible he was to work for. Now he won games. He won 11. He won 10. He won a lot of games. And I don't work for you? Just win? Yeah, just win. And if they don't want to work for you, they don't have to. But it's bizarre that he's the head coach again. I think there's almost no chance he keeps that job after this year. I think he's going to need to win six, seven. Six or seven games. Unwinnable games.

[Eddie]

You got a tough schedule coming up.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I mean, it's. It's awful. We go to Tennessee in two weeks. That'll be his first game. I was thinking about going over and just watching it.

[Eddie]

You know, a little hop and a skip. Two hours away.

[Bobby Bones]

Little Bobby for Bobby. Here we go. Let's get it. One Bobby for another Bobby.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Now can you watch the rest of the season kind of like, hey, whatever happens, happens.

[Bobby Bones]

I can watch the rest of the season just purely rooting without wondering what happens if it doesn't go right.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Because I was rooting for us hard, but at the same time, I'm going about halftime, man. If we don't put up a fight, it's over. We're just gonna turn the page. And I think it'd be best for everybody to turn the page.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So it's weird. It's weird when you know the people that are getting fired. It's weird when you know the people that are doing the firing. So it's weird when you're giving money to the place that's doing the firing. Cause they suck and didn't use your money. Right.

[Eddie]

I can't imagine what that feels like.

[Bobby Bones]

But I'm not even. I'm not even the whales. I'm not even know I get the big tunas like I am.

[Eddie]

But still, it's money, man. And like, you give it to it to an organization to do something good with it.

[Bobby Bones]

And I've given hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few years. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past few years.

[Eddie]

That hurts.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think that makes you more sensitive about it because you're like, I'm paying this in, and I don't really use it for anything. If we were good, I. I'd want to have access and be up there. But when we suck, like they called before the Notre Dame game. I'll just say they. They called and they said, hey, you still want your sweet tickets? And I said, it's an interesting question.

[Eddie]

For the weekend for that game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And I was like, it's interesting. I said, why? Why? Like you've never called before asking? And they say, yeah, everybody's backing out. Wow. And. And I said, you know, my wife and Caitlin's pregnant, and she's not really wanting to fly and was like, you know, that's a perfect excuse.

[Eddie]

So I said, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I said, we're gonna hang back.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

You're already catching on.

[Eddie]

Personal reasons.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, we're gonna hang back. They knew it wasn't personal reasons.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But that didn't.

[Eddie]

Good thing you didn't go, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. But here we are. We're actually recording this on late Sunday because I. I got a flight I got to catch quickly after the show Monday to get to New York. So we're actually fresh after the NFL games. We can go roll through some notes here. I have written notes, random notes, and let us go through them. Number one, our WTF parlay. It did not hit. We did not expect it to hit. Yeah. It was over immediately on Saturday.

[Eddie]

We never said wtf.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

It just went away.

[Bobby Bones]

I told you, don't bet this. So the WTF parlay of Arkansas winning and the Cowboys winning. We're at the time we're recording this. We have no idea what the Cowboys did.

[Eddie]

They probably won.

[Bobby Bones]

You think so?

[Eddie]

No. No, I really don't think so.

[Bobby Bones]

It was an odd day. I mean, look at the Giants.

[Eddie]

Yeah. The Giants, Chargers, the Bill. The Bills is a close game. The Saints making it a weird close game.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. We're close games, though. That happens all the time. Yeah. The actual. Actually seeing a team lose, I was surprised to see the Chargers, undefeated, lose to the Giants. Jackson Dart looked pretty good. He ran the ball a lot at the beginning of the game. And then he gets his bell rung. Yes. And it's like. Yeah. If you run with a guy 11 times.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That early. And he came back and they ended up winning the game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. And he's a guy that when he runs, even in college especially, you, like, he doesn't go down and he goes head first. Yeah. And you're like, dude, you got to chill.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Got a chill.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I didn't see him wearing as many jewels, although I didn't see a lot.

[Eddie]

Of clothes a little bit.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, I saw when he scored that touchdown, he started doing a dance. All I see is a necklace Bouncing up and down and up and down.

[Bobby Bones]

I was watching on my phone. My wife was cool enough. We were having dinner at the Nordstrom Cafe, and we go up, and she was like, you can watch Red Red Zone.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

While we're having lunch. And I was like, well, I wanted to be delicious. I don't give a crap. Watch the games. And so she goes, I'll watch it with you. She's very much a college football person, not really an NFL person.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But the Oklahoma bowl was happening, and so she was watching Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield play each other, and that was one of the games they kept going back to.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, that was a great game.

[Eddie]

Good game.

[Bobby Bones]

It was good. Yeah. Bucks came back and fought, man.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

No, just couldn't pull it out this time.

[Bobby Bones]

They couldn't pull it out.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

We have money this time, but next time, watch out next time. Real quick. The Giants, though, neighbors see that?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. Towards acl.

[Eddie]

How did they know? So cool Quick that he. I mean, I, I. You see him grab his knee, you see what happens. You expect that to happen for them to come out real quick and be like, yeah, confirmed.

[Bobby Bones]

How quick was it? Because again, I was.

[Eddie]

I'd say 30 minutes.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

So I saw the notification, like, an.

[Bobby Bones]

Hour or two after they know. Five minutes.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

They can feel it.

[Bobby Bones]

After they get. After they get it under, they know in five minutes.

[Eddie]

Okay. I didn't know. They need an MRI to, like, confirm.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, well, I know the Achilles because players have talked about in the past. Like, they felt it, and like, yeah, it's done.

[Bobby Bones]

Who tore their Achilles recently? It just happened. And they went down. Because when you said that, something came to my mind.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Recent research. I mean, Tatum pops in my head, but that was six months ago now.

[Bobby Bones]

No, this is, like, in the past few days. He tore his Achilles and he goes down and like, oh, Najee Harris. Maybe that's who it was. He tore his last weekend, last week.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, it was.

[Bobby Bones]

And he went down, and immediately, because he picked his foot up, it was like, yeah, that's it. That's what I'm so afraid of. Doing anything now.

[Eddie]

Oh, just bending over to pick something up.

[Bobby Bones]

It's protecting. Protecting my Achilles. Because that is the bad one.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

We see it all the time, too.

[Eddie]

Well, and then we're older, too, and then you see people doing it, playing pickleball. Like, just little things, golfing, dumb stuff like that.

[Bobby Bones]

You're like, our friend of mine stepped off a curb. That's it. And he's a. No, seriously, he is all muscles. Great shape. Ripped. Stepped off a curb. Wrong. Popped his Achilles. Oh, and he was on crutches for nine months.

[Eddie]

Felt like forever.

[Bobby Bones]

Another note I have. Speaking of that Eagles game, the Eagles fake tush push had to piss everybody off. They ran basically a counter that was okay, let's get up to the line. And they handed a sakewan around the edge. Nobody was near him. And so if you have to watch for the counters, if you have to watch for anything other than the tush push, you're not going to stop the tush push because you need everybody to get down, dive bomb that for a chance, and you're not even going to stop it then.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

So it's over.

[Bobby Bones]

They were waiting for that.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They knew it was going to work as soon as they drew it up. Let's. Let's run the tush push counter. Saquon jogged in.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That had to be like a trolling move slightly right with Sirianni. Like, you guys are so mad about the touch push. Here you go. Take this.

[Eddie]

We're not doing it. Yeah, Another shovel pass is so cool, too. Like how they get away. They do that shovel pass to the tight end from the push push.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I just don't know how you stop that as a defense. It's just with the. With the Eagles, it's. It's. It's so hard because, like, they got Saquon, they. They have Hertz, and then you got the passing game, but no, then you have a tight end that they're going to sh. They're going to shove it to.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I watched the Virginia Florida State game on Friday night. No, not all of it. The end of it. I'm not going to act like I was so dialed in that I watched all of it, because I didn't. But I watched probably three quarters of the fourth quarter, and then the clip has just been played 10,000 times of that field storming. It's the quickest field storming I've ever seen.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Insane.

[Eddie]

It's almost like they were loading up on the side before it even happened, because they were.

[Bobby Bones]

They were. They were loading up on the back of the.

[Eddie]

Yeah, that's it. That's it.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. And like, before you even saw whether you caught it or not, they were already going.

[Bobby Bones]

There's no. There was no barrier either.

[Eddie]

The receiver was still on the ground. It ran in.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

That was awesome.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

It was great.

[Bobby Bones]

Luckily, there was no flag because it was an incomplete pass. And luckily there was no flag anywhere because there could have been a flag. There could have been, like, a Defensive holding on the other side of the field. Yeah. Nothing.

[Eddie]

Get everyone out.

[Bobby Bones]

They had to do like Arizona State did last year, make everybody get off the field after they had rushed the field, run another play. Once I remember seeing Kentucky rush the field, jump on the field goal post, and then they end up losing the game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Is that lsu?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Right. Yeah. Yeah, I remember that.

[Eddie]

The kids have to stop with a flipping off, though.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Like I was going to say, am I an old guy for thinking I was annoyed by looking.

[Bobby Bones]

Me too.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I was like, come on, man, explain.

[Bobby Bones]

Explain why you say that.

[Eddie]

Well, you just see, like, I mean, guys, guys, girls, everyone. And I saw it live. I don't know what picture you guys are talking about, but when it happened, they would cut away really quick when they saw. But kids were just running up to the, you know, the Florida State players and just flipping them off right in front of their face mask.

[Bobby Bones]

There was one picture that was going viral of a guy holding his phone up, taking a pic, a video of a Florida State player while flipping him off with the other hand.

[Eddie]

Yeah, it's just like. And you.

[Bobby Bones]

And as a Fortnite player. Yeah. You can't do anything back, but if they do, you're like, ah, you kind of like. I understand why you would feel the need. You can't do it. You got to be bigger than that if you lose. But they're triggered because they lost. They lost at the last. I mean, they didn't lose on the last play. They had to actually make that catch. So it wasn't like they were up and lost. But still, you can't. It's also some guy that could have never played football.

[Eddie]

Right. It's also easy.

[Bobby Bones]

Ultimate loser that never would do that in that same situation anywhere other than right then and there where they were protected.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And he wants to go viral. That's why he's doing that.

[Bobby Bones]

A wimp. We hate you, dude.

[Eddie]

We don't like you.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Watch the. The blunt Leger. Blunt punch and do it.

[Bobby Bones]

Oregon, then do it. Yep. Okay. Let's see. I wrote, missed the first half of the first games at the mall. I prefer long shorts. Now, here's your note. But here's why I wrote.

[Eddie]

That has nothing to do with football.

[Bobby Bones]

I was missing the games, which I was happy to do. And we went in to Lululemon because my wife wanted to get some pants or something, and she's like, I like it when you wear those shorts instead of the ones that you wear. And they're like. They're like not even halfway through the.

[Eddie]

Quad you were trying them on?

[Bobby Bones]

No, they're just on the mannequin.

[Eddie]

Oh, okay.

[Bobby Bones]

And just the legs. Not even, like full mannequin with the full body.

[Eddie]

Oh.

[Bobby Bones]

She's like, I like it when you wear those short shorts. And I don't think she does. I think she just hates it when I wear my 90s church league basketball, because every pair of shorts I have is that if it's not a pair of dress shorts, they all go down to my knees. It's, you know, Chris Weber. It's. It's that. And so I wrote that as a note.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

So it's a thing now, though. It's like a fashion popular.

[Bobby Bones]

I have some and I wear them occasionally and I feel like my balls are coming out of. Right.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I'll wear them around the house, but out in public, I'm like, I don't know if I can do this.

[Eddie]

Are they workout shorts or just. They're workout shorts. Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

You can. I mean, you can hang out if you want.

[Eddie]

Because I have, like, these nice, nice shorts that are, like, too high and I feel like my nuts are hanging out of those. And, like, I don't know, man. They just don't feel comfortable. I don't think anybody wants to see our leg that much of our leg, but maybe our wives do, I think.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't even think it's that they want to see our leg. I think it's just the style of the short. Otherwise it looks extremely dated.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

The baggy shorts will make a comeback.

[Eddie]

Everything does.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I know, right?

[Bobby Bones]

But then they're going to go out of style again. If we're using that logic, yes.

[Eddie]

Everything does.

[Bobby Bones]

The Steelers backup quarterback Skyler Thompson got jumped and robbed in Dublin. They didn't say much else.

[Eddie]

Dangerous.

[Bobby Bones]

I've been to Dublin. Everybody's drunk.

[Eddie]

But, I mean, you read a little headline like that, you're thinking like, whoa, do not walk the streets of Dublin exactly at night.

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know what time he was out, but you're exactly right. Everybody's drunk.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I think of Peaky Blinders. Like, everybody's Peaky blinders after, like, 11 o'. Clock. If you're walking, it's nighttime. You're in Dublin, a bunch of drunk Irish dudes.

[Eddie]

Is that Peaky Blinders?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't know if they're Irish and all, but that's what I think.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

They're England, but close enough.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

You never seen it?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like a white gang.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And he's on ir, so he was probably drinking because he's not playing right now.

[Bobby Bones]

And he stayed. Yeah, he stayed with the team.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. So he's hanging out.

[Eddie]

So you get robbed. So what it said.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. Jumped.

[Bobby Bones]

Jumped and robbed. That sucks too. If you're like a professional athlete, you have to go back and tell your boys that you got jumped and robbed.

[Eddie]

You're an athlete, man. You're tough.

[Bobby Bones]

Like be Superman. Like beat him up. You're the.0001% over here in America.

[Eddie]

I wouldn't make up those 10 guys though.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

They all had guns in the other nine.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

You know what I mean?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So saw that the Oregon, Penn State game was good. Yeah, it was good. I watched all of that flipping back and forth between the Alabama. Georgia game.

[Eddie]

Yes, Those are the two.

[Bobby Bones]

That was a weird game. I. I picked Georgia. Our parlay did not hit because I had Georgia winning the other games hit. So that's on me. But I was rooting for Alabama. I like. I think Caleb Debor is a good coach. I've been saying it. Even though. Even with all the losing. I think he's a good coach. And the lady who wanted to buy out his contract with the Powerball, I thought about her. What would you do with 800 million? I buy out Kayin Bore's contract.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Right. So Ty Simpson's legit.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. He's good.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

He throws a beautiful football.

[Eddie]

He can run too.

[Bobby Bones]

And you know, he only won the quarterback competition like right before the season.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. And he lost it to Milro, what, two years ago or last year, whenever that was.

[Bobby Bones]

And stayed.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. Which is unheard of.

[Bobby Bones]

Love somebody that stayed. It's like nussm. Lsu. Like he stayed. He backed up Jane Daniels for two years. Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So I love somebody that stays. Although Nussmeier, I think he's hurt.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

There's got to be something.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's hurt because they can't.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Put up 20 points even.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's hurt. It was fun to see Lane Kiffin win that game. It wasn't about Hemingway. So it was an Ole Miss home game. But the fact that Lane's daughter is dating Whit Weeks, the linebacker, who I know from the Netflix series.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Same.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. You like him.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I mean, I like.

[Bobby Bones]

I liked him too. I like his brother.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

His whole family is dead.

[Bobby Bones]

All three of his brothers play for LSU right now.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And so to see that Lane Kiffin's daughter's dating the LSU guy. Yeah. Weird that Lane Kiffin said before the game take the over, like they were going to score a bunch of points even just Insinuating gambling talk is hilarious from a head coach.

[Eddie]

Can't do that.

[Bobby Bones]

And then afterward, he did it again after they won the game. So that's fun. It was a fun college football weekend through the first noon games of the NFL. It's kind of a boring NFL first round.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I loved it.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, because the Patriots won.

[Eddie]

Put a whooping on massacred.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I haven't seen a game like that since that TB12 that was back there.

[Bobby Bones]

It didn't start good.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, I. I almost texted you guys, like, oh, no, it's gonna be a long day.

[Eddie]

Hey, no text thread today.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I know. I think it's because we knew we were gonna be hanging out.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no, I didn't. Oh, I. No, no, no.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That was just me, I guess. Oh, you were at lunch is what it was.

[Bobby Bones]

I was at lunch, the first part. And then everything was going good in the Patriots game, so I don't need to text anything about that. And the other game we were caring about was Eagles and the Eagles and the Bucks, and I just didn't want to waste a. Hey, there's no way Baker can do this again. I know, because I really didn't think he would. In the last two weeks. I thought maybe he can because there's plenty of time. I didn't think he could. And when they were like, you know, milking it down to like six seconds, I was like, I'm just going to let this one go.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, he tried, but they were down big. I mean, I think, yeah, they were down big. 24, 3. Maybe at one point they had their shot, too. He threw that pick.

[Eddie]

A couple of shots.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they burn down big. Okay, we're gonna go and talk to Brandon Marcelo in just a second, so let's take a quick break. We will talk a lot about Arkansas's head football coach being fired.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay, let's go over now to Brandon Marcelo, who writes for cbs. You can follow him on Instagram randonmarcello. His latest article was about the University of Arkansas and, and having to move on from Sam Pittman. So here he is, national college football insider Brandon Marcelo. All right, Brandon Marcelo is on with us. Let's start because it's close to my heart and also you were at the game. When did you first hear that Sam.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Pittman was fired about when everybody else did. I was actually on the phone with someone that was in the dark like me and was wondering if, like kind of if they had a job still in that building. And that's when the news broke. I'm kind of told that I guess it went out to the public about the same time the staffers found out just about the same time at Arkansas. So but yesterday or on Saturday, I should say it became pretty clear that something was going to happen one way or another whether there's going to be some staff changes or a head coach. And you know, as I've been reporting since the week before last, the, the idea that the buyout for him and it dropping after a few more losses, that being an issue. I was told that wasn't going to be an issue. If things got bad enough and losing by 43 points at home was certainly.

[Bobby Bones]

Bad enough, I made the last minute call not to go to that game. Would you say that was a good call?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, man. I've been to a few games there where, you know, it empties out, it's a blowout or whatever. I've been to several or two under Pittman where it's been like that. The Missouri game I think last year or maybe a couple years ago, I can't remember which. And it was like 1015,000Missouri fans still in the stadium. And it was kind of just like, wow, what is this? And then yesterday Saturday was just about as bare as I've seen it. Late in the fourth quarter, I mean I heard player parents yelling at the coaches. You know, it was like watching a peewee game. Like, hey, put the, put the backups in. I mean player parents, it was, it's not what you expect from an SEC football team.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it sucked. But at least the team, the program can move forward now. Bobby Petrino, I never thought I'd see the day that he was the head coach again. He is the interim head coach. Does he have any shot at retaining that job?

[Brandon Marcelo]

He'd have to do something pretty remote, miraculous. I mean you look at the schedule, five of the last seven opponents are all ranked and the other two have a combined record of seven and three right now. So even the teams that aren't ranked, Mississippi State and Auburn are pretty good. So considering how badly this defense has been playing and you know, the things I've heard about the just the locker room atmosphere right now and kind of it's a bunch of new faces and maybe they're just not kind of all holding onto the rope at the same time the same way. It, it would be the miracle of miracles if, if they were to somehow get out of that to a situation where Arkansas is talking about, you know, an eight win season. Because I think it'd be. It had to take something like that for Petrino to even be considered for the full time gig considering his past. He's been given second chance after second chance like practically everywhere. I mean this. Remember he went to Louisville twice, he's been to Arkansas twice. He got back into coaching by starting back off at Missouri State and working his way up to Western Kentucky, then Louisville. And I think to me, Bobby, I don't know about you, Bobby, Petrino needs to approach this opportunity as a moment to walk into the sunset with his held his head held high for the first time. We all know how it ended at Arkansas back in 2011. I don't think we've ever seen a second opportunity like this. And he's not going to erase the past but represent the program well, do well by yourself and the players, take care of everybody around you and go, maybe go win a couple of games and show some passion and talk about how important the state is to you and getting this opportunity and you'll be able to leave when this is all over with and be able to say I never thought I'd get my second chance and I did and I feel like I did it the right way.

[Bobby Bones]

Let me throw a few coaches at you and you tell me if you think there's any shot that Arkansas lands the coach Rhett Lashley at smu.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, there's a chance he's in a better spot right now at SMU financially because the NIL backing all that stuff of the revenue sharing. But if Arkansas can get its ducks in a row and throw some support behind, behind him and show. Here's our plan, here's our NIL plan. This is how much money you're gonna get to work with. This is the structure we're gonna provide to you because right now it's. It's not. Say it's in shambles, but it's not very good at Arkansas. They need to get everything put together for that, to pitch it to him and then tug on his heartstrings. He's an Arkansas guy, grew up in Springdale. You know, I'm. I've known him forever. He has tons of pictures of himself dressed up in Razorback gear. I remember him telling me stories about going to go see Ken Hatfield, the former Arkansas coach, being excited just to go somewhere to go see him and shake his hand and get to meet him and talk, talk about becoming a head coach someday. And his dream was to be the head coach at Arkansas someday. But times change, people change, and he's in a very good spot at smu. I think it would take quite a bit of commitment on Arkansas's part to, to entice him.

[Bobby Bones]

What about a guy like Dan Mullen at unlv? It's his first year there, but he had a lot of success in the SEC the first time and probably got run from Florida a little too early.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, I think he did too. He got ran from there too early. Let's see how Dan does here in the back half of the schedule. I'm not discounting the way they started going 4. 0, but the schedule hasn't been all that tough. Remember their first game against Idaho State? They probably should have lost an FCS team, but I, I think I agree with you. Dan's an incredible coach, schemer, but I think he's a name that won't start creeping up unless they start winning some, some bigger games in the Mountain west, especially in conference there.

[Bobby Bones]

My final question about who could possibly be the coaches, what coordinator are you hearing? Whispers they're looking to make that jump to the head coaching job at a P4 school.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Will Stein, the offensive coordinator at Oregon, he's someone that I think is going to get a lot of consideration out there potentially. Also keep in mind we're probably gonna have a record breaking year as far as coach openings. So there's gonna be a lot of jobs available and a lot of candidates and a lot of assistant coaches making that jump. You know, consider Glenn Schumann, the defensive coordinator at Georgia. They did a pretty good job in the second half against Alabama. He's always been a good coordinator, someone on the rise. And as we saw Dan Lanning, formerly a coordinator under, under Kirby, making that jump. But right now I think it's a lot of like, prove it type Things I was really high, for example, going into last week on Andy Kotlenecki, the offensive coordinator, Penn State. And you saw how much they struggled until the fourth quarter when the offense finally came back to life. But these days a lot of ads want a head coach who's a CEO type that can handle everything. Not necessarily someone who happen to handle the back office stuff and everything and also call place. They need someone who is trained to handle that stuff. And it's more a business like approach. So you'd have to be a really, really hot coordinator I think to really get a big ton of consideration. Right now.

[Bobby Bones]

These programs like a Virginia, a UCLA and Arkansas that obviously are going to have to hire a new coach, they are in the middle of the season, like how aggressive can they hunt and who's doing the hunting? Who are they talking to?

[Brandon Marcelo]

You know, a lot of these schools, they'll go hire a search firm of some sort of, and it's usually the same one and they kind of compile a list, they start making calls, gauging type of interest at least from the agents. Rarely are they actually talking directly to the coaches. They're talking to their agents and then the agents are hitting up their coaches from time to time. But I, I think you're getting at a good point here, which is there's only so much you can do. I mean we're not even out of the month of September and we're talking about coaching changes and you're not going to be able to hire anyone until the first week or second week of December because everybody's coaching right now. So a coach could show a lot of interest in a job and that could change overnight because one, they don't like the situation potentially they're being offered or two, another job comes open or they hear another job's going to come open. But places like Virginia Tech, Arkansas and elsewhere, they've certainly got a working list that are putting together. They're vetting all of that in the early going. But you're right, there's, there's just not much you can do. Like anybody expecting like by mid October to start hearing it police places like so and so is going to end up being the coach. You're kidding yourself.

[Bobby Bones]

I should have added the Tech because Virginia had a really good win against Florida State. So that, that'll lead me there. Florida State. That was kind of a ripe game for Florida State to lose in hindsight, right?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, absolutely. Because you know, going into that both offenses are in the top five, top ten nationally. Florida State was number one. Virginia was no slouch. They were scoring almost 50 points a game themselves. They brought in a lot of transfers. You talk about nil money, I'm actually writing a story about this. They. They got a gigantic anonymous gift from a booster, and they used that to help build this roster. Their general manager said back in July, the moment they got that gift, they said our recruiting board completely changed. They erased it and started putting new names on there because they could get bigger guys. And I'm told, my sources there in Charlottesville told me they spent about $20 million, if not more, just in nil money on the portal this off season. And it's paved dividends for them. Right? Eight of their starters are all new players. 19 of the 32 transfers that came in all played a significant part on the field against Florida State. That's. Our roster looks completely different and they're playing differently. And it just goes to show you these days in college football that you can change things overnight if you just got like, deep, deep pockets in the big nil program.

[Bobby Bones]

Let's do a couple same song, different verses, and we can start with James Franklin at Penn State losing another big one, actually the first wideout they've ever lost double overtime. So great game for me, because I didn't really have a rooting interest. But when will James Franklin losing these games wear thin on Penn State?

[Brandon Marcelo]

I think it has worn thin. I thought. I think it's worn thin on them. A few years ago. They're 2 and 21, or, excuse me, James Franklin overall in his career is 2 and 21 against top 6 teams, second worst ever, all time, which is actually just behind a Hall of Fame coach, Frank Beamer at Virginia Tech. He has the actual worst record against top six top five type teams. And give credit to James Franklin quite a bit because, listen, Big Ten media days, all these other events, I go to where he's at. I'm not kidding you. He's probably asked two or three times about his record against top five teams, like, are you ever going to win the big one or you're gonna be able to do it? And of course, he was asked about it again Saturday night after losing, and he said it's not a narrative, it's just facts. I mean, he's just like, you're not. He's. What he's saying is you're not just telling me something to anger me. I know it's a fact, and that's my fault is kind of what he's saying. And he just knows he has to win. I think also we need to put in context that yes, Penn State is a blue blood, but the talent level that they bring in the Penn State is probably a half step to one step below what you see at Michigan and Ohio State every single year and for that matter Oregon, the level they recruit. Just go look at the numbers and the players. But we have it in our head that Penn State should be winning a national title every few years because James Franklin's made them so consistent year after year after year, winning 10 games. And they just can't get over that last step because, I mean, let's face it, their stride is a little bit shorter than those other bigger schools.

[Bobby Bones]

The other version of same song, different verse is Alabama, Georgia, where it doesn't matter who the coaches at Alabama, they tend to be Georgia and Kirby Smart every year.

[Brandon Marcelo]

I that was nuts, man. And in the second half I think Kirby smarts just like legitimately sees ghosts whenever Alabama's on the other sideline. Doesn't matter who the coach is. Some weird decisions they got 4th and 1 at Alabama's 8 yard line. Instead of kicking a field goal to tie it in the second half, they decide to run a quick handoff to Cash Jones who hadn't really touched the ball at all. And he ends up stumbling and getting blown up by LT Overton for Alabama. And they lose yardage and turn over the ball. And then later they, they call another play on fourth down and they turn the ball over again by, you guessed it, throwing it out to Cash Jones who lost yardage on it. I even tweeted during the game, I was like, somebody explain Cash Jones to me because it does makes no sense why they're utilizing that guy in the two biggest plays of the game. And then you had a player get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for jumping on top of the pile on a tush push where it was third and one. Alabama picked up the first down, but also they got an additional 15 yards so Alabama could keep the ball and melt the clock down. Just weird decisions. And Smart defending himself afterwards said 10 times out of 10 he'd call that trick that that quick handoff instead of kicking the field goal for the tie. And listen, this is something that dates back even back to 2018 in the SC championship game. That the fake punt that made no sense against Alabama. I think he just overthinks himself quite a bit and that's been his undoing. And credit Kaylin DeBoer. I mean he's 7 and 1 now against top 10 teams in his head coaching career, the guy is just a big game coach.

[Bobby Bones]

Three questions left. Let's go to Vandy. They're scoring a bunch of points. They're going to play Alabama next week. One, how good is Vandy? And two, is this something Vandy can sustain for a couple of years at.

[Brandon Marcelo]

This point if they can get Diego Pavier like a seventh and eighth year of eligibility? Yeah, he's the engine man, right. And I think that combination of him and then getting Jerry Kill, the former New Mexico State coach there on staff to kind of help guide things and say, hey, this is what works with Diego has really helped. But I think when Diego leaves, they'll take a little bit of a step back. But the good thing is is Diego has set up a foundation, so to speak, of, hey, good talent can come here. And by the way, when you are here, you're not just going to float in space. You're going to potentially win games. And as you've seen, they've. They've updated facilities there. They're. They're amazing there in Nashville now. Clark Lee's got that thing going. I think they're going to attract a better type of recruit. They already are. As for this weekend, it's so weird to say this, but Alabama's out for blood against Vanderbilt. This is a revenge game for Alabama because Vandy beat him last year. I think. I think Vandy's walking into a hornet's nest. They haven't faced an opponent nearly as good as Alabama yet this season. And it being on the road, I think. I think it has the potential, the potential to get ugly because I think Diego Pavier might get put into a lot of troubling situations where he's going to turn the ball over trying to force things.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, two questions left. Do your Heisman top three right now because it is not what I thought it would be at this point in the year.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Oh, gosh, I haven't even thought about it because it ain't.

[Bobby Bones]

It ain't Ness Meyer, he struggled or been hurt or whatever's happening. I don't know what's happening.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, I. He's off the. Not off the board, but he's. Yeah. Dante Moore's climbing up there. To me, the Oregon quarterback, he's been phenomenal. I put him up there. Fernando Mendoza is still up there. I think Carson Beck is potentially going to start climbing up the charts more. They get Florida State this week on the road. If he has a big performance on the road against Florida State in a rivalry game, I think that's when you'll see Carson Beck potentially go up further. But it's crazy just a week ago that the Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza jumped up to number one after just blowing out Illinois. But right now it seems like it's going to be a quarterback award, which it really hasn't been in recent history, but it seems like we're, we're moving more in that direction. One dark horse, I'll say, is Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy. He has been phenomenal. He's had five straight games, 100 plus yards. He just had another 130 yard game Saturday night. He's the best running back in the sec, maybe the country, and Mizzou likes to feed him. He's not one of these running backs nowadays that touches the ball 15 times. That's it. He'll get it 20, 25 times. And he's just explosive and a hard runner. And once they start playing better, better teams and he puts that type of production, I think you'll, you'll start hearing his name quite a bit more.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, final question. This is more of a, a suggestion that I would make very macro to a school like an Arkansas that complains about Nil. But it is, it is ironic that Arkansas will go ahead and pay the extra 2 million for his buyout, but we don't have enough money to support Nil. Like, it's like you have the money, you just haven't used it. So what if we could invest into these teams? Meaning, let's say they needed a hundred bucks and I was like, okay, I'll give 10 and take, take the 10 and get your. And then at the end, if we end up making 400, I get my percentage based on how the school did in revenue with the money I gave. So it's not like rich people just giving money and going, here you go, have money. With nothing for me except for me getting to brag about being able to donate. What if there was the ability to make money back on a team if you gave money?

[Brandon Marcelo]

What a great idea. You should pitch it.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm serious. Like, I want. Because, look, I'm going to be honest. I, I give money and they want more money. They never don't. They never want less money. I've never had that happen in my whole life where they've been like, you know what? You've given us a little too much. Keep some for yourself. That's never happened. But I start to go, especially after the Arkansas AD last week or two weeks, whenever it was, whenever. Speaking of touchdown, Club. Yeah. He was like, you know, we're just not. We. We don't really have it to be a championship team. And I'm like, well, then why am I giving money if. If we don't have it? Why. Why do you continue to take my money if we don't have it? So now I'm thinking if there was, like, a revenue model for investors to get paid, I could see a lot of folks throwing money into this thing. Is that some. Have you ever heard that before, or am I absolutely insane?

[Brandon Marcelo]

No, you're not insane, and I haven't really heard that before. I'm also not very smart with money, so that's probably why I never thought of something like that. But it certainly sounds very doable, right? Especially, can you imagine some of these programs, like, even, like you said, Arkansas, where everybody's all about it in one state, and you've got a lot of smart business people in this state that would be willing. You know what? That sounds like a good opportunity. Good idea. I. I like it. You go pitch that.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, you can do.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Next time Arkansas asks you for Next time Arkansas asks you for more money, go hair instead of money. Here's an idea.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. I got envelope in the mail yesterday. It was one of those, hey, check this box if you can give us this amount of money. And I was like, I was just told, we can't win, so why do I want to give more money? So I'm sure I'll have to give some more now. I'm happy to give more now that we are moving hopefully in a different direction. But, man, to be at that game. Were you hearing any whispers in the press box about anything?

[Brandon Marcelo]

Yeah, yeah. I mean, they're just talking to people. They're just like this. There's no coming back from this. It's also getting some weird looks from some people going, why are you here?

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah, national guy in the Arkansas press box.

[Brandon Marcelo]

And I was sitting in the very back on, like, the third row. But, you know, two of the last three games I've been at the head coach got fired.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, no. You got to keep him away. He's. He's like that cat at the nursing home that shows up near the door, and if it shows up near the person's door, the person always dies. Brandon is the cat at the nursing home. Oh, no. All right, Brandon.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Well, I'm going to be at. I'm going to be at Miami Florida State this week. So I think anybody will get fired after that. I think I'm good.

[Bobby Bones]

I think you're good, thankfully. Hey, good to talk to you, Brandon. We'll talk to you again next week.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, Eddie, you're done betting NFL games?

[Eddie]

Yeah, I think I'm done doing the straight up game parlays. Dude. I haven't hit one all season, you.

[Bobby Bones]

Know, like, I didn't get a ghost, like, this week.

[Eddie]

That's what I'm saying. You have to earn the ghost leg. You get. You get a free one.

[Bobby Bones]

But then after I spend enough to earn one, you should.

[Eddie]

You should definitely be getting a lot of ghost legs. But, like, I noticed like last week I didn't get a ghost leg, and that's because I never clicked the option to make a bet to get a ghost leg. So I did it finally and I got a ghost leg. Still can't hit it, dude, but you.

[Bobby Bones]

Ghost like this week.

[Eddie]

I ghost like this week. But I missed and I missed it. I missed it. And I'm done doing, like, straight up games. I'm not doing, like, you know, Steelers to win Moneyline. I'm not doing. Not doing the 12 gamers that I used to. I'm not even getting close to those.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Those are hard.

[Eddie]

They're so hard. Even when I pick two games, I don't hit them. Yeah, but, dude, I'm loving this, like, you know, Jameer Gibbs. Touchdown. Aaron Rodgers two touchdown pass. Like, I'm loving those stat parlays. I've already hit like four of them and that's like my thing now. And I think, Brandon, then you should do pick six. Then I should do pick six.

[Bobby Bones]

If you can do stats, you should do pick six. Okay. But anytime you think you're good at something you're not, that's when it comes crashing down.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yep.

[Bobby Bones]

Anytime you think you have anything figured out in gambling, and not just you. Yeah, especially you. But anybody else.

[Eddie]

Well, to me, it's just I was doing so bad the other way that I made a change and it worked and made me really happy.

[Bobby Bones]

Be. Did you make money this weekend?

[Eddie]

I did. Well, I made money and I made a lot of money on Saturday and Then, dude, it happens every Saturday. I feel like I'm just dominating college football. Like, this is awesome. And then I go to the nightcap games.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

And I'm at. I'm at UT El Paso versus who knows who.

[Bobby Bones]

Why are you betting that game?

[Eddie]

But listen. And I'm like, oh, you know what? This game's over. I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna bet $50 that nothing's gonna happen, that the score's gonna stay the same. No interception. Does the guy fall down and just, like, intercept the ball? No, he runs it in for a touchdown. I lose $50, and it makes me so mad. So what do I do? I bet 50 more on. On.

[Bobby Bones]

Why don't you stop betting the games? You have Colorado, no understanding of anything happening. I think that's. That's your mess up.

[Eddie]

The last game of the night. BYU at Colorado. I'm like, oh, come on. BYU is going to win this. So I got my money back.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, you did win that one.

[Eddie]

I did win that. I got my $50 back.

[Bobby Bones]

But is this like, whenever you said you were making $30 a picture on Instagram and I got in and you weren't, and you almost. You almost never did. Because I look money. If I were to look at your DraftKings.

[Eddie]

Yeah, I had $50.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I'm saying what I see. That you made money or lost money. Sure.

[Eddie]

Yeah. You can see my bets. You don't see my bets.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I don't want to see.

[Eddie]

I. Dude, it's a lot of bets.

[Bobby Bones]

But stop betting on games that you don't know anything about.

[Eddie]

That's the best, though. That's the best. Because I'm like, what am I gonna do? Everyone's asleep. It's 11:30 at night. I'm gonna stay up and watch football.

[Bobby Bones]

Then bet a dollar.

[Eddie]

I know. I should.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. And then wake up happy.

[Eddie]

I should.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But I'm having. I'm having fun, dude. Dude, I'm telling you, a weekend. I probably place 30 bets.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, I probably just. I mean, I probably do that, too.

[Eddie]

Finger happy, man.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's a lot.

[Bobby Bones]

But mine are on games. I at least know what the mascot is.

[Eddie]

True.

[Bobby Bones]

You know.

[Eddie]

No, no, no, no. El Paso, the Miners. I didn't. I don't even know who they were playing.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, you tip.

[Eddie]

Oh, you tip.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh.

[Eddie]

And then I stayed up for the Raging Cajuns.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Louisiana.

[Eddie]

They were overtime, dude. Louisiana was playing overtime.

[Bobby Bones]

You're pointing at me like. I go, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not. You don't need to Bet those games.

[Eddie]

Yeah, the only thing that's on.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you do any of the listening in the booth, like, with that?

[Eddie]

Did you see that on Friday? Yeah, dude, I love that.

[Bobby Bones]

What is that?

[Eddie]

Okay, so on Friday, the Virginia, Florida State game, every time the play would go to under review, they would play the audio of the guys back in New York watching the screens and the referee watching the screen. So the. Watching them converse and listening to them be like, all right, so his hand. I see his hand touching the ground, but is that ball moving? And then you can hear him arguing. Be like, I think the ball's moving. No, Tom, I really don't think the ball's moving there. And then the ref's like, you guys figure this one out. Like, you get to hear all it was.

[Bobby Bones]

So I never heard the ref go, you guys figured this one out. But I do understand what you're saying. Like, I'm clueless. Flip a coin. I didn't hear that one.

[Eddie]

And then what was cool is. And then they decide, okay, so is it going to be overturned? Let's just go with overturn. All right. One overturn. Yeah, overturn. Three overturn. All right. And then he takes his headphones off. And it's cool because you get to watch.

[Bobby Bones]

It's cool.

[Eddie]

You get to hear it where, like, we're just used to watching the guy look at the screen and then blah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Blah, blah, Talking to somebody in there who knows.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

And then you get a real good understanding of like, oh, that does make sense. Like now. Now I get why that wasn't targeted.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

They gotta hate that, though.

[Bobby Bones]

They're just showing their work. It's like when we see math problems in 8th grade. I was like, okay, I know you got your answer, but you got to show your work.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So when they show their work, you see how they get there so you have a better understanding of what the result is, even if you don't agree with it.

[Brandon Marcelo]

But.

[Bobby Bones]

But I agree with it. Both times I saw it. I saw it twice.

[Eddie]

Oh, they showed it every time.

[Bobby Bones]

But I only saw it.

[Eddie]

I guess you only watched the end, right?

[Bobby Bones]

I watched the last two thirds of.

[Eddie]

The final quarter and then the overtimes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. So they do it in overtime. I didn't see it overtime.

[Eddie]

I didn't see it overtime. So. So is this something that they can do for, like, ever?

[Bobby Bones]

Because they can if they would like to, like, Amazon. If not Amazon, but maybe it's Amazon prime stats.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So there's different feeds on. Yeah, it's Amazon. You can go to a different Feed altogether and watch almost what's like an all 22 version and see plays develop.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

And so you're not watching from the typical view I was thinking of, because I get Amazon and YouTube TV mixed up because they're both streaming, both digital. It's Amazon. And you can back off and do another view.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, they have, like, probability that so. And so is coming.

[Bobby Bones]

Who's blitzing? They have, like, the bottom circle on the Blitzers.

[Eddie]

That's cool.

[Bobby Bones]

And sometimes they. The blitzer tricks them. But if they think it's blitzing, it gets dark. Like darker. Like hot pink.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. It looks like a video game almost.

[Eddie]

Dang. I've never seen that.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

It's super cool. So that. That is fun, though.

[Eddie]

Do you guys like the. The sky cam?

[Bobby Bones]

No, I actually hate it.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Wait, like the one on the Wire?

[Eddie]

Yeah, the one on the wire.

[Bobby Bones]

It looks like when they first started showing football on television in like, the 60s, when they had one camera at the top of the bleachers.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. Just doing the 50 yard.

[Bobby Bones]

That's what that reminds me of a bit. So I don't like it.

[Eddie]

And there's no commentators. It's just the camera in the crowd.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, no.

[Eddie]

And the crowd. Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's. It's fun for a second. It'd be cool to put it up as a. If he had mean, I guess I could do it on my screens upstairs. I have three screens beside each other. It'd be cool to put it up beside the real one.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Okay. So.

[Bobby Bones]

But to watch it by itself, I don't. I don't have it. I need to be stimulated. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I just like the options. Like, if that's how the way you want to watch a game. Cool. You have an option to watch that game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Who watches it like that? You and, like the boys?

[Eddie]

No, I mean, it's. It's an option. So sometimes, like, you see lsu Ole Miss and, like, you just click on a box and it ends up being that one.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And then you realize after five minutes of watching, you're like, there's no commentary on this. It's only one. Weird.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. What'd you think of Dan Lanning after they won the game?

[Eddie]

Dude, Dan Lanning is. He's different. Like the way he acted when they won that game, which was awesome. I'll just say it was great and it was cool to see him act like that, but I've never seen a coach twitch. And almost. It was almost like. This is going to sound weird, but it's almost like he killed someone and he's on for rush of like he just killed someone. And his eye was twitching and he was out of breath, and he really. He just didn't even know how to talk to the reporter because he was so freaking excited that they won that game. I've never seen a coach do that.

[Bobby Bones]

Did you watch the Charlie Sheen documentary?

[Eddie]

No.

[Bobby Bones]

It's like, when Charlie Sheen was doing all that crack. There's a whole part of the second episode, and it's the part that we remember most when he was, like, winning and.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

All. And he was like. And he was touring.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

His getting pumped up and being so excited is like Charlie Sheen on crack.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

So it's a healthy version.

[Eddie]

You did notice that. I mean, he was just.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah. I mean, he is an intense guy.

[Eddie]

Intense.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's a bit of the intensity. He's pretty high strung anyway.

[Eddie]

And probably even when it's.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Oh. And almost like a cathartic release all happening at once.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. He's awesome, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, he's awesome.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

He takes jabs all the time. No, I know you're not saying anything bad. I'm just saying he. That guy is. He's awesome.

[Bobby Bones]

The jab.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. The white out. Did you see that? Yeah, yeah. Where he's like. Oh, it wasn't really. Like, they use it as an effect, but, like, it didn't really affect us.

[Bobby Bones]

Didn't really affect us.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Love it.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And Oregon's in the white.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's what I was. Okay. First thing I thought of, I turned the game on was like, why is Oregon in the white on a Penn State whiteout?

[Bobby Bones]

So I thought the same thing. And what I thought was, it's confusing to see all the white if all your team's white. It would be like. Do you remember when I said if you wear camouflage jerseys.

[Eddie]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And somebody DM me and said, Boise State did that with blue on blue turf, where they had one of their guys lay on the ground and you didn't see them. And he jumped up and caught a ball.

[Eddie]

So I thought, he's like a snake.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And that's what I thought. Like, could you do camouflage jersey, helmet? But I think it's like a reverse. Like, all. All white. And then if you're in white, it looks like you can't differentiate your players from the crowd at times. I don't. I don't know that that's true.

[Eddie]

Do you all know how they pick the colors? Like, is it.

[Bobby Bones]

Well, that's. That's their Main color, White and purple. White and blue.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Blue.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Colorblind blue.

[Eddie]

Yeah, but like, Oregon. Like, so. So, like, if they're coming to town.

[Bobby Bones]

They have to be white. They're the away team.

[Eddie]

Okay. They always have to be white. Got it. Cool. Cool jerseys, though.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I mean, they're always got the best.

[Eddie]

Dude, they must have like 10 alternate.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, you know, more than that.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Like 80 something. Yeah.

[Eddie]

Amazing.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm 99. Sure. The away team is always white.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, I. I think they have to have like, their main color has to be white.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay.

[Eddie]

And that's combination.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That may be.

[Bobby Bones]

That's.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's college.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dan Lanning's awesome. I saw F show.

[Eddie]

Hey, you still. You still text? You text him at all?

[Bobby Bones]

No, but I will right now.

[Eddie]

Dude, you got to text him right now.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, me too.

[Eddie]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

I. I don't text him hardly ever. But what should I say?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Hey, are you going crack?

[Eddie]

Eddie thinks you're crazy.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm going to say you had me pumped last night. It's good.

[Eddie]

It's not too crazy. Perfectly normal text. Oh, you're still typing, though.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not just gonna leave one sentence.

[Eddie]

What else are you saying?

[Bobby Bones]

I'll tell you. I gotta sign it, though, because I don't know that he has my number in his phone. I mean. Yeah, who knows?

[Eddie]

You going Bobby or Bobby Bones?

[Bobby Bones]

Bobby Bones. Because you may not know who I am. Okay, but we. We text. But you had a.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

He had a whole package for you last year.

[Bobby Bones]

No, I know we text, but it could be one of those that he has to, like, scroll up if he didn't save number.

[Eddie]

Just a number.

[Bobby Bones]

I said. You had me pump last night. Such an intense game. Way grass, coach.

[Eddie]

That's perfect.

[Bobby Bones]

Perfect.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Eddie and I over here.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, dude, that was sick, dude.

[Eddie]

I wouldn't know how to do it.

[Bobby Bones]

You're my hero. I love you.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Here's a selfie of me.

[Eddie]

Unsend. Unsend.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

[Eddie]

No. I don't understand.

[Bobby Bones]

The scoring system's weird if you don't know it.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

It's can. The halves are what confuses me.

[Bobby Bones]

A half is just tie.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

The tie. Okay.

[Eddie]

And then all the different games, the foursomes and the swinging and the.

[Bobby Bones]

No, no, that's a different thing.

[Eddie]

All the different games they play are so weird.

[Bobby Bones]

So we had to get to 14 and a half. They only had to get to 14 because they have it. But it looks like it could be over. Let me take a look.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, yeah, you're defeat you 15 to 13.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, wow.

[Eddie]

Closer.

[Bobby Bones]

We made a run in the singles today. We made a run, but that is so intense.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Was it all the yelling?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

Is that a normal thing?

[Bobby Bones]

Ish.

[Eddie]

Like, like. Because I. When's the last time?

[Bobby Bones]

It's always rowdy and it's every. Every other round and it's every two years.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

So it's been four years since we.

[Eddie]

Played here, and so it's fair game. You're there. You can. I even saw, like, the. One of the mcs had to, like, step down because Heather.

[Bobby Bones]

Heather McDonald or what's her name, Mike, the comedian. Heather McMahon. Heather McMahon.

[Eddie]

She was like.

[Bobby Bones]

She was like f. Rory.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, really?

[Bobby Bones]

Ferrari yelled fu at the crowd.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I did see that clip. I did see that clip. I saw cops, like, getting involved too. Is that because of the crowd?

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, the crowd was out of control.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

And Trump was there for one of the days.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, I did see that. Behind the bull.

[Bobby Bones]

He walked bright. He walked Bryson out. So it's. I don't think it's as cool as some people do because it. It's not like a real. It's not like a major, but some people love it. And I get. I mean, I'm not. I'm not pissing anybody's Cheerio. Cheerios. I think it's awesome. But to me, I didn't. I watched like, a little bit of it. I'd rather watch football. Yeah.

[Eddie]

I watched on Thursday.

[Bobby Bones]

And we love golf.

[Eddie]

We love watching. Watching golf.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

But once football season starts, golf, it's like.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

But some people do root like it's the Olympics or something.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, it's cool. But it's a big deal. I mean, it really is a big deal. Because then they argue who's going to be the captain? Is the captain going to play? Who's going to be on the team?

[Eddie]

And ours was Keegan.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And he was good enough to play, and he still chose not to.

[Eddie]

Just walked around with a little walkie talkie.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, that's cool.

[Eddie]

Pretty awesome. He was all over the place, too. He'd go to like one green and then walk to another green.

[Bobby Bones]

And that's how I was playing against Eddie.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Those New York fans. Like, I'd do something good. He'd be like, f you. We did our tournament.

[Eddie]

Not true. All I would say is that's in the water.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes, exactly. Water.

[Eddie]

Just in case. Well, because you can't really see. So I had to tell you it was in the water.

[Bobby Bones]

Exactly.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, that was nice, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

Kevin's put together his top five most overhyped quarterbacks in college football.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yep. Coming into the year.

[Bobby Bones]

This year.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

Okay. Number five.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Number five is Lenora Sellers from South Carolina.

[Bobby Bones]

Can I say that he's hurt? Been hurt?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Well, that's part of the reason, though.

[Bobby Bones]

Can you be overhyped if you're injured?

[Eddie]

Because that's not fair.

[Bobby Bones]

You don't even have a chance to get to the height.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

But the injuries go back to last year, too. He was injured last year. So part of the overhype is how can you be so hyped in the number one, number one pick if you can't even stay on the field?

[Bobby Bones]

I think that's a good argument. If there's like three seasons of that.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

So he's got one more to go.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he goes pro anyway, but. You do?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he has all the tools. He'll pro. I think he probably goes pro. I guess if he has a further disappointing season with more injuries. The reason I guess he could stay is they do get paid a lot in three years ago. Three to infinity. Years ago. He's gone.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

But, yeah, there's a chance. I guess there's a chance he stays.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

It depends how their year goes, too. I feel like they've already lost a couple games.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm not hating on it. Lenore Sellers are number five. You're using injuries. Okay.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And then number four, it should maybe be higher, people think. But Arch Manning.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, I don't know how to say number one.

[Eddie]

That should be one.

[Bobby Bones]

But it's your list.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Thank you, guys. Thank you.

[Eddie]

Whatever you want.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

But the reason it's not number one is because it's. It's kind of also the media's fault for hyping him.

[Bobby Bones]

But that's who Hypes is.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

The media.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. Yeah, but media is all the hyping.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

But it's not like he's out here like, oh, I'm the best. I'm this, I'm that. Like, everyone's saying, oh, he's so good. Texas people are saying, oh, my gosh. You see this guy in camp, like, and then he goes out and plays. It's like, well, he never really played. Now it's like, oh, well, he never really played before. So that's probably why he's not doing so well. It's like, well, then why did he have all this hype?

[Bobby Bones]

I feel like the media is who hypes. But, hey, your list.

[Eddie]

Or, hey, man, you do you.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Thanks, guys.

[Bobby Bones]

Number three.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Number three, Drew Aller. Now this guy. Penn State, they just can't get it done. James Franklin's right there with them, but they easily could have came back, won that game. They had their chances. And what does he do? Throw another pick?

[Eddie]

He looks a good quarterback, though.

[Bobby Bones]

He looks 12, though, without his faces. Like, I think he's actually a kid. I think he is one of those Disney movies. Yeah. Yeah, he looks. And we're getting older, but, man, he looks like a child.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. Sometimes he just looks scared back there.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And I'm like, I don't know. That's gonna last in the NFL.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, number two.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Number two, Garrett Nussmeier over at lsu. Talked about him a little bit. LSU ruggling.

[Bobby Bones]

I think he's hurt.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And I liked him the most. Probably coming in, I was like, this kid is going to be good. LSU's offense is going to be good.

[Bobby Bones]

And on Netflix, any given Saturday.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yes.

[Bobby Bones]

We let him hype us up to think he was going to be awesome.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yes. He'd come back. Right.

[Eddie]

Oh, so Netflix also hypes up not just the media.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Bobby Bones]

That's part of the Media, though.

[Eddie]

Oh, that's true. Streaming service.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Come on. It's all.

[Bobby Bones]

That is media.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

It's all one.

[Bobby Bones]

Digital media.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Digital media, dude. Number one, Cade Clubnik over at Clemson. Bobby will probably like this one, right?

[Bobby Bones]

Bad, bad, bad. He had a really good game in a loss at Austin last year in the College Football Playoff.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And they lost. That was the first round of the cfp, right?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I think second round.

[Bobby Bones]

Second round.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And he looked good in that loss and he was highly recruited, so everybody thought it's time. But. Yeah, no, it's. It's been real bad.

[Brandon Marcelo]

Really bad.

[Bobby Bones]

It's been real bad for the whole team, for the coach.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

And they have talent. Everyone's talking about how good their team was this year. And then it's. If your quarterback was that hyped and then he can't even get it done.

[Bobby Bones]

And it's like, okay, you know who it sucks for? Oklahoma. Because they have a really great season. They're undefeated and their quarterback material goes out. Had to have hand surgery. Now he may only be gone two games and he was out. He was out this week. Bye week. Next week, Oakland plays Kent State. The week after that, though, they play Texas.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, yeah.

[Eddie]

Is that non throwing hand?

[Bobby Bones]

No, it's throwing hands. It's throwing hand. So he may be back for the game. After Texas, I root for Oklahoma, South Carolina. Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Then Ole Miss, then Tennessee, then.

[Bobby Bones]

Oh, yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Oh, my gosh. He's got to come back.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. The SEC is. It's a nightmare forever. Especially when you're one of the bad teams, because all the teams are good. Like, if you're one of the bad teams, there are no other bad teams. If you're Arkansas or Kentucky, there are no Arkansas or Kentucky's to play. Because you're them.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

If tough. Yeah. That's why the teams that are the worst always have the hardest schedules because they can't play themselves. Or a team like Georgia, they have a hard schedule, but they also get to play the bad teams. They get to play Arkansas and Kentucky.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah. Or Vanderbilt's. Not one of those teams anymore.

[Eddie]

No, not anymore.

[Bobby Bones]

Neither is Mississippi State.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Neither.

[Brandon Marcelo]

They almost won.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah, they should have. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

What a game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

That was another overtime.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Legit. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes. What a game. And that was a double overtime, if I'm correct.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I know it was overtime.

[Eddie]

Oh, yeah. It was double because I think it was. They were going for the two.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah, they missed the two. I didn't make a note on that, but I'm pretty sure it was double overtime.

[Eddie]

And I think There were five overtimes.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Just one overtime.

[Bobby Bones]

Are you sure?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yep.

[Brian Christopher]

What game was.

[Eddie]

What game are they going for?

[Bobby Bones]

The two.

[Eddie]

Oregon.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

No, I think they were just going for the touchdown because Tennessee scored first. A touchdown? Because it says in overtime. Tennessee had seven. They had zero.

[Eddie]

Well, one of them was going for the two. Oh, maybe it might have been Florida.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

State, but it was on the go. Like, they were close. They were, like, on the two or three yard line.

[Eddie]

Okay.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

I'm blurring a lot, dude.

[Bobby Bones]

I'm blurring.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

There's a lot of overtime.

[Eddie]

I'm blurring five overtime games this week.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. And whenever the Eagles blocked that punt at the very first of the game, oh, my God. I was like, here we go again.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I know.

[Bobby Bones]

Like, the last two plays they had were blocks field, gold block, pump block. Let me make sure I didn't miss anything. I seem to be pretty good on notes. And if anything else crazy happens for tonight, we'll just throw up an end after our end. Like tomorrow we have a few minutes. We can do, like, five minutes, and we'll be like, oh, can you believe the Cowboys?

[Eddie]

Cowboys won. It was crazy. Wow.

[Bobby Bones]

They had eight onside kicks in a row.

[Eddie]

Recovered them all, 10 Hail Marys.

[Bobby Bones]

If we have nothing after this, it was just a normal night. I don't like the double Monday night game.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

I hate that.

[Bobby Bones]

No, that's this week, right? Yeah, I hate it. Yeah. I also forgot there was a Ireland game this week. I woke up, normal time obviously didn't turn anything on because I knew I had football all day, so I was just, like, gonna have breakfast with my wife. Nothing. And I just clicked to make sure none of my fantasy guys were out. And I saw that I was playing Kenny Gainwell and He had, like, 20 points already.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And I'm like, was there a game last night? And I was like, oh, they played in Europe. Yeah. Yeah. I missed that whole game.

[Eddie]

Yeah. My wife doesn't like those morning games because she's just like, I went to bed hearing football, now I'm waking up to football.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

That's right. Do you have it?

[Bobby Bones]

Do you have it in your room? Yeah.

[Eddie]

Well, in the morning ones, I turn it on. As soon as I wake up, I just turn on the TV in my room and she's like, like, what are you watching? You watching highlights?

[Bobby Bones]

Nope.

[Eddie]

They're playing in Ireland.

[Bobby Bones]

Back on? Yep. Okay. I think that's it. Anybody else have anything else?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

No postseason baseball is coming this week, too.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Excited.

[Bobby Bones]

Cubs and Padres.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Is that who they play?

[Bobby Bones]

I think so. I Should look at that. I'm almost positive it is. It just rolled off, Mike. Would you look at that?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

You sounded very confident.

[Bobby Bones]

I did. Well, then I. Then I regressed.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Just backtrack real quick.

[Bobby Bones]

You're correct. Okay, then I. Yeah.

[Eddie]

This is when I start watching baseball.

[Bobby Bones]

Yes.

[Eddie]

Not just the first innings of baseball games.

[Bobby Bones]

To see if you hit your bet.

[Eddie]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

All right, that's it. So I guess we're gonna go. We'll be back later on this week. Thanks to Brandon Marcelo for being on with us. What's crazy, being an Arkansas fan, all. All the fans are gonna be like, let's get Nick Saban. And it's like, guys, you think we're complaining about not having enough nil and you think we're gonna get Nick Saban or Jon Gruden also? I don't think I really want Jon Gruden. I think that's a splash higher. That's not really a long term solution.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

And if Gruden wins this lawsuit against the NFL, he will be back coaching in the NFL again, which I think is really what he wants to do.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Bobby Bones]

So. All right, that's what's up. Thank you guys for being here.

[Eddie]

Jimmy Johnson come back?

[Bobby Bones]

I don't think so.

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Tom Landry?

[Eddie]

No, man.

[Bobby Bones]

Lou Holt. He was at the Arkansas games.

[Eddie]

Was he?

[Co-host (possibly Eddy)]

Yeah.

[Eddie]

How old is Lou Holt?

[Bobby Bones]

I'm glad you asked. I just looked it up. 107.

[Eddie]

That checks.

[Bobby Bones]

Yeah. Really old. Really old. All right, we'll see you guys. Bye, everybody. There it is. Thank you. Theme song written by Bobby Bones. That's me. And performed by Brandon Ray.
