C (2:19)

From 2000. This is from Hembo, by the way. I don't want to take this as Miles.

A (2:23)

Agreed. Clock ticking.

C (2:24)

From 2001 to 2019, which is the Brady Belichick area, the era, the Patriots were underdogs 53 times. New England went 32 and 21 with a.604 win percentage in those games. The best record in the NFL as an underdog over that span. UNC is a dog tonight.

A (2:38)

So we assume that this is going to go under because we think Bill Belichick will make you play left handed. They said Matt, Patricia Belichick, Steve Sarkeesian. What does that mean? Actually, D. But as a man who was drafted at the top of the second round to the New England Patriots.

D (2:49)

Defense, that really means the defense is very, very prepared. And prepared to show one thing pre snap and then another thing post snap. We're all good liars and we're all on the same page. A defense is tough to stop, especially for these young quarterbacks. So you talked about it taking time early on. He has free agency. He has draft already. Brand new team. I think they'll be prepared. I got UNC winning straight up.

A (3:09)

Oh, I like that. Now, he does have connections to. We. We all have connections to Lombardi and Belichick with tcu. Great football. And at the end of last year, they got real hot. They figured out who they were, a lot of tempo. How will Bill Belichick manage that? We shall see. Let's go to the number four headline from the weekend. Hey, special teams are special, special. Now, we're not just talking about little special. We're talking special special. A lot of great things for the brand across the board. Let's go down to the Beamer bowl where we had some beamer Bo Ball. South Carolina return man Vicari Swain takes this thing 80 yards to the crib. 10, 8, game. It was a cagey affair. Both teams looked good, actually. Lenore Sellers is a guy cannot wait to see what he does in the NFL and also for the rest of the year for South Carolina. And Vicari Swain is an absolute menace. He's a DB who great vision, great everything. And then let's go to immediately after the game. They're calling this the Beamer bowl because obviously Frank Beamer, Shane's Padre, his father coached at Virginia Tech for a long time. Shane Beamer went to Virginia Tech. Shane Beamer started his entire coaching career at Virginia Tech. Now he's a head coach at South Carolina with the highest expectations that he's ever had there. Frank Beamer, before the game said he's loved seeing Shane live out his dream as a head coach. And taking on Virginia Tech, obviously going to be a little bit of tear of heart, but blood is thicker than legacy is what Frank Beamer said. And after the game, this is what Shane came up to say to his old man. Oh, man. Glad that one's over. Thank you. Thought you'd like a special teams touchdown. Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Thank you. Love you. Beamer ball in the Beamer Bowl. Magical thing. Virginia Tech started out much better than they did last year. They had a lot more question marks around the entirety. But South Carolina gets a big win. Special teams are going to be good because beer ball. Lenore Sellers seems to be a guy. Yes, they're talking about him being a guy guy now. He's big, he's strong, great leadership as well, which is great. And he can spin that thing. I love what South Carolina did here early. And also if you're going to get kick returns and punt returns every game, you're going to win those games.

D (5:05)

Got to win that third phase. And you know this better than anyone. The Cardinals sin with special teams is a re kick on punt. And that was a re kick. Set him up for the DB to do his thing. Special, special play in the Beaver Bowl.

A (5:15)

On that note, he elected for them to re kick. Not every coach does that. It was like an illegal formation or something. Sometimes they'll just take the 10 yard penalty from the end of the spot and move on. Beamer, born and baptized in special teams.

E (5:29)

That's right.

A (5:29)

So we'll do the recap. All the coverage teams tired. Okay. Everybody's very tired going down the field now. He had a good ball. I'm not saying he did not hit a good ball. Sometimes your second ball too. Mulligan can hit a little bit better, but the people that are trying to cover that thing, they want that second ball not return. We've already run down. We've already run down the Field. Yeah. We have already done this whole thing again and that ball was murdered. Obviously, I'm not going to blame the punter, but a re kick, you're right, is a great decision by. Easy for me to say, great decision for Shane to make, but also for them to make him punish. That's beautiful thing for the Beamer Bowl.

C (6:01)

There was also a re kick in Rutgers and Ohio this weekend as well. The second one was blocked. So a couple of times this weekend where the re kick has got shoved up someone's ass.

A (6:09)

Let's talk about punter Devin Bale. Okay, kickoff guy for Arkansas tries to hit a squib kick instead. Boom. Right off a guy over his head. Excuse me, scoops that thing. Now you can't advance it, but I do like that he got nasty with it. He put that ball immediately on his outside hand, too. He wasn't going to get stripped. He was actually looking to stiff arm, folks. I think he was going to stiff arm a couple people. Hits a guy right in his thigh or his chest, bounce up over his head, grabs it. A lot of people say, hey, do this every time. I agree. I mean, I agree. Off the shin, actually up over his head. We should do this every single time. Now, if he avoids that and that ball continues left and goes out of bounds, this is starting at the 40 as opposed to them getting the ball. So it's a little bit of a dangerous situation, but you rarely see anybody on a kickoff return team standing right in front of a kick. And that is by design, that is, so that you don't get blasted with the ball. I respect and appreciate how athletic Devon looked there. And yeah, somebody's going to stand in that. Go on, Devin. Now, you have no idea where that's going to bounce, but if that goes right back to you, if you can master it, that's a good trait to be able to have there, boss.

E (7:11)

Yeah, I mean, maybe we changed the rule too, of not being able to advance the ball because after seeing him catch that, it's like, you know what? If he was able to execute this, let's let this boy maybe try to run it back for a touchdown.

A (7:21)

Could you imagine? Because it looked like he was ready to.

E (7:23)

And he had a full head of steam, too.

B (7:25)

He was going and he was natural.

A (7:27)

That's a punter, by the way. We looked that up because I was like, damn, very athletic kicker. No offense to the kickers, but that's a very athletic kicker. Turns out he's a punter. That makes a lot more sense as a Punter. I'd like to let everybody know within the special teams group, I think we are the far superior athletes. Yeah. Now the kickers are going to say, yeah, but we're like brain surgeons. So who's more athletic? And it's like, yeah, we get it. But the punter, he ready to move. Let's talk about some of these kickers. Miami last night.

D (7:54)

Yes.

A (7:54)

Big one kid. It's a 47 yarder. Minute left, fourth and three. Now I did not like the conservative play calls. Okay. I did not love what Miami did there late. I think Carson Beck can get you in and out of a play. I think Carson Beck can execute an offense. I think they look great. Carter Davis came in as just a kickoff guy at fau. Now he's become the full time starter. They put his stats up like, hey, this guy was. I think they were all real long because he was the kickoff guy. So I think he was probably the long field goal guy. And I didn't hear a lot of context being given when he put that stat up there.

D (8:24)

Can't do that.

A (8:24)

I'd assume he was the big like 50 plus. Yeah. Sent him out there for the big one because he had a really strong leg. But whenever he stepped out there for that 47 yarder and I only knew that 4 of 11 stat, I thought to myself, I don't know if this one goes through. Pured this thing. I mean absolutely pured it. Well, it wasn't down to center still. That was a no doubter off of his foot and that thing is clearing the upright. I mean if they would have had the little stat cast thing on it, we're talking probably 60 something yards. What a beast. Another kicker. Absolute stud. Iowa kicker Drew Stevens hits a 55 yarder over there in Iowa. Ty, you got Kowi who didn't look like a quarterback early but figured it out. You got a kicker that can hit 55 yarders. I didn't know that.

E (9:02)

Yeah, this is huge. And this is the long net. Oh yeah, yeah. I mean that, that looked like he was good from 65. It was the longest field goal for Iowa in like 12, 13 years. Iowa football, like that, that is. He's a massive weapon for them and he delivers time and time again. So yeah, Drew Stevens is an absolute stud and he'll be vital for the Hawks Big Ten.

A (9:19)

You got to be able to beat the wind. You got to have a big leg. Yeah, he's probably going to have some misses. I mean nobody is going to go perfect in a Big Ten, especially With how hard it is. Kick, snap, hold, everything, operation. We saw that on display last night. Miami, Notre Dame with the snap. Being outside, it's very difficult to get a snap hold kickoff with anybody, let alone in college when it's not a full time job for everybody. That's a huge kick. Who do you got this weekend?

E (9:38)

Iowa State Hawk.

A (9:39)

Yeah. Do you know his. Their kicker, Kyle Conrarty? 63 yards opening week. Come on. So clean now. Obviously that put them up 277 over South Dakota, but what a ball there. 63 just to execute that once again, snap, hold, block, kick, everything. Live in a game. Unbelievable. Especially for a college guy. That was a pure ball as well. I like what I'm seeing.

E (10:03)

Yeah. And he's slowly becoming like a legend at Iowa State. Last year in the Cyhawk game, he hit that walk off game winning field goal in Kinnick. 50 plus. And then another 60 plus yarder this week. Like he's, he's unbelievable.

A (10:15)

Yeah, I has a 62 yarder under his belt as well. I think they said this would be a record for himself, I don't know. But they also said the record was 58, so. I mean, whatever, he's a dog. I love watching him. Iowa, Iowa State might come down to the kickers.

E (10:28)

We'll see.

A (10:29)

And it'll be a showcase event. And then obviously there was an 80 yard punt. That's the greatest thing I've seen. Tulsa punter Agnes Davies from Victoria, Australia hits this thing 60 yards in the air, lands at about the 34 and then gets a 24 yard roll. Unbelievable. 80 yard ball, 90 y from foot to spot. It stops. That's. That's football. When I watch that, I get real excited. How could you not? Watching a torpedo fly that far. Everybody in that stadium, 100. 150.

E (10:59)

Yeah, yeah, probably around 150.

B (11:01)

Everybody in that, it's a dollar beer.

A (11:03)

It was big. Yeah. Everybody in that stadium. That's one of those things. You hit that ball in the stadium, everybody goes O. That's what you're looking for when you puny. You hear, oh, that's not good. That means it's check. You hear a whole like you just hear air just being kind of sucked. It's like, yeah, you hit a good one. That kid had to feel that immediately. Coming off the foot and gets a great bounce. Now the return team is telling the returner, you catch the fucking ball. Okay, you catch the ball. But anytime a punter gets a good bounce, they always try to blame the returner. He put it over his Head on purpose. He put it to a place that that guy wouldn't be able to get it so that he would be able to get a 24 yard return. Congrats to Angus. That's a big time ball and I love that. Special teams are special. Special. Now let's go around college ball. Who's real? Who's real? Who's real? Good question. Who's fake? Is Ohio State all the way back? Because that defense is seemingly unbelievable. How about FSU and Thomas Castellanos? He flipped the entire culture of Boston College, is he going down to FSU and doing the same damn thing? And there might be some sort of record on the line here for Castello.

B (12:07)

Yeah, funny enough, Thomas Castellanos becomes the first quarterback in the history of football to go into a team as an unranked opponent and beat a ranked opponent, then decide, hey, I'm going to transfer. Transfer to the team that he beat and then that same team that he beat a year later will then play for them and then beat a ranked opponent. He's the first player. Other hashtag stat that.

A (12:29)

Yeah, it might be a real stat. We don't know. But we do know he is real. And anytime you talk mass amounts of shit about an entire institution and you turn around and back it up, I love it. Shout out to Thomas Castellanos and Mike Norvell. Utah, unbelievable powerhouse. We'll talk about them here in a little bit because their quarterback might be the guy. Miami, obviously, huge win. Carson Beck in and out. He can get it done. And C.J. daniels, one of the nicest catches we have ever seen just so happens to come in week one in a massive to take a lead right before half. Unbelievable catch. Carson Beck looks like he's right at home down in Miami. He's got handshakes for everybody on that team.

E (13:05)

Oh yeah.

A (13:06)

I think he's potentially in the second floor getting shoulder rubs down there with the boys. I think Carson Beck's fitting in very well with the Miami, lsu. They could be a squad after their huge win with Nuss Meyer over Clemson. And then obviously anytime you think about college teams that could be real, you think about who's Rich Rod coaching. Bobby Vu sure could be a real deal this year.

B (13:30)

No doubt.

A (13:30)

He's. We're buzzing. They were absolutely buzzing. Terrible first half. Hey, it's gonna happen. Week one, 35 zip. Second half. Listen, Bobby Mo's not gonna just go.

C (13:38)

Out there and lay down.

A (13:39)

I agree. Robert Morris is really good team.

B (13:40)

Oh yeah.

A (13:41)

Rob Morris a really good team. Yeah, this is Nico Mozzarella here. Now Martial, he, he, he stuck around. Okay. We thought he would leave. He did not shout out to him. Sticking around. And then we got a couple guys that are all over the field now. If we win this weekend against Ohio University, we're only three point favorites in Ohio. Okay. Which is certainly something. I like us a lot in that. And then Pitt is able to get a big time win. All eyes are on game day. Potentially heading to Morgantown for Pitt, West Virginia. So who's real at this point? We're not 100% sure, but we do know there were some highlights there put across the board. Let's go to the number two headline from the weekend. How about some archives? Arch Madness. Or maybe is it Arch Sadness? Oh, no. I was part of the problem. I was very loud. I called him Neo. I called him the one. I said, I know his boss was his young man. He's going to Manning Pass Academy. This is going to be the one. I went to bat for him. Very, very, very, very, very loud. I think a lot of people did that. I've seen him play and obviously people that think of a Manning and automatically think of some traits, he's certainly one of them. But what this Ohio State defense did to him in the Sarkeesian offense as a whole, we have no idea what Arch and Texas are going to look like this year. That is a fact. I don't think necessarily Caleb Downs at defense is the best way to start the entirety of your career. But nonetheless, he's going to have to learn quick. Who do they got this weekend?

E (14:54)

San Jose State.

A (14:55)

Okay, so he might go crazy this weekend. We shall see how the rest of the year goes. Big loss for Texas, huge win for Ohio State, who might not give up more than 10 points all year. And then the number one story from the weekend, Coach Corso's perfect farewell game day was an honor to be a part of. The people at Ohio State took care of us so well and cheered and celebrated. A man who has given so much to sports as a whole. And he was perfect with his picks. And he was perfect.

D (15:22)

It was perfect.

A (15:23)

Very close.

D (15:24)

It was perfect.

E (15:25)

Pretty damn good. Pretty damn good.

A (15:27)

He was perfect. All the teams that he coached or played for won throughout the weekend. So like, everything about it seemed like the proper send off for the sports icon that is Coach Corso. And getting a chance to go out on that 50 and be on that desk as he gave that re. It was, it was really cool. Obviously it was emotional. A lot of parties have been around him a very long time. That Friday production meeting. Obviously he's ever present. He's always active, and you can feel his sense of joy of life and energy and everything every single time. He will certainly be missed behind the scenes. I think everybody will understand that. But certainly on television as well as the entire world celebrated one particular person who's given back to a sport and to a show more than maybe anybody in the history. So shout out to Coach Corso, shout out to Ohio State. And maybe he could still send a text for his picks because it feels like he's seeing the board pretty good.

B (16:19)

Yeah, certainly sell him, Lee.

A (16:23)

Yeah, he should just. What if he makes a substack?

E (16:25)

That's not a bad idea.

A (16:26)

What if he makes a substack and puts that thing up there? That would be classic. Coach Corsair's only fans just giving out his picks every single weekend. Coach, you're the man. I appreciate you went to a luncheon on Friday. The tail end of it, obviously, because our show is during lunchtime, so I caught the tail end of it. Just like Tariko, Tom Jackson. You're talking about the people that were just there giving thanks and appreciation and then the stories that were being told about him. Yeah, he's a dog, dude. Always has been, always will be. And it was an honor to watch him work and see him do his thing. So that was our first 15, 21 minutes. Boom.
