You're listening to Giraffe King's Network.
This is the Don Levertor Show with the Stugat's Podcast.
We're here.
Mm-hmm.
We did it, family.
We did.
I don't think I've ever called anyone a family, including my family.
Might have only been...
It would have only been more strange if you said, fam.
Probably.
Or Brian Kelly style, family, because...
We're here, fam.
Boudreau, Kelly.
All of us.
Mm-hmm.
Listeners.
Yep.
Us.
Well, I guess we're not all here, but we're, you know what I mean.
We're all here in spirit.
Yeah, sort of. We made it, Billy. We made it. Yep. Fun. Well, I guess we're not all here, but we're, you know what I mean. We're all here in spirit. Yeah, sort of.
We made it, Billy.
We made it.
Yeah, fun two weeks.
Two weeks.
Yep.
Well, you say fun two weeks.
So I'm one big.
I'm exhausted.
Are you?
I'm tired.
But fun two weeks.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I'm wondering how we should we do grades?
Is it appropriate to do grades on how these two weeks went?
Now, how does this work?
Well, we need to do it.
What's the grading school?
I grade myself. Well, Stu got to give us all grades?
Like, should we grade each other?
Should we like, you know when you'd
eat in class, when you would like switch papers
to people?
Oh, I love doing that.
So maybe you two give each other grades,
me and Lucy give each other grades,
and these two give each other grades.
So when you did that in school,
did you do it with a friend of yours?
Of course.
So you guys cheat it.
Of course.
So we would always write with pencil, right?
So we would know, okay okay if you pass over my paper
What I'll do is all erase yours and then write it really good your passing right and pencil that you wrote with too
It's like it's the same mechanical pencil like the same big pencil
Yeah, and then we just erase it really quick write the new answer and then teacher never wondered about different handwriting
And while you're you, so it works.
Or it didn't.
You're here.
No, Tony.
No way of knowing if you won or not.
I guess the teacher didn't care.
They're just like, whatever, dude, I don't know.
Yeah.
Thinking of like my teachers now, when I was a kid,
like being my age, I'd seem to be like,
oh, whatever, let's keep moving.
Yeah.
So how do we want to do the great?
Salute to teachers, by the way.
Pay them.
Pay them.
Pay them some of your teachers. Oh, that's right. Yes, should we have someone from the outside great salute to teachers by the way, pay them the
Yes, should we have someone from the outside
Great as terrible teachers if we're gonna be totally loose you like that idea or we'll teachers out there terrible But it's not their fault. So I can't give it great. I'll give everyone an a can we just do like overall?
No, but I'm thinking one at a time. That's annoying. I'm thinking we have someone from outside. Maybe Carl
Oh, right and he comes in and gives us individual grades
and team grades.
What do you think?
Fine, Taylor's fine.
Why, because he's gonna give you a better grade?
Why would Taylor give you a better?
I have no idea.
Taylor, let's go with Taylor.
I'm not gonna argue with you.
I just, we also have the bucket of death to do here.
Oh, I want grades though.
So Taylor, are we good with Taylor?
You want individual grades?
Yes.
Okay. You want team grades. No, I don't know
I give us an A you give us an A as a team so we're letting the students grade the papers
Well like Tony used to do him and his friend you see right yeah, too to see
I
Think we get a B minus B minus really?
Well you weren't here yesterday. I just a big day for us
Yeah, see plus I listen
No, I'm, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just terms of, can I balance this? No, no. How about this? How about this on the front end?
I will say this, I think not their fault.
I think the Reese Davis show that we did with Dan
or Laskow, we're sure that we've done in the two weeks.
And it's not their fault.
Circumstances created that.
Who's fault?
Name names, Billy.
No, I'm not naming names, but we thought, well,
things have changed, things get a little hectic,
and we're planning on having multiple hours,
and then it turned into one hour,
so we kind of crammed things.
We had to cancel guests at the last minute.
So like, our plan wasn't just to have guests that day.
What I'll say.
Yes.
So it's very defensive of that day.
Be mine.
No, I'll just say, I'll say that.
I thought that day was fun.
No.
It was a nice school.
We did a great job doing a show that day.
It just turned into two long interviews.
All right, fine. You know what, see this turned into two long interviews. That was in our pool.
You know what, two guys is right, B plus.
Yeah, that's better.
B plus.
That's better.
B, R, B.
I'll take it, I'll take a B.
Just give it like an 85.
I'll take a B.
There's lots of moving parts when you have two different locations.
What is a B nowadays?
Back in my day, it was 80, 89.
That's still a B.
No, no, no, no.
No B.
The whole spectrum of the B column.
A B was an 80 to 84 for me.
Yeah, I had a seven point scale.
No, like 84 to 89.
And A was like a 93 to 100, and I think a B was an 85 to 92.
Oh, that's bullshit, man.
That sucked.
That sucked.
No, that was not a B.
That was not a B.
What's a name minus?
At one point, they changed it to like 10 points.
Really, scales, I think, maybe here in Florida, I don't know how can an how can a 90 not be an a- because it was a B?
Nah bullshit. No, it should be a minus. You're out there having a minus or B plus anything
minus anything 90 you're talking about being a something
Atta boy right? We got you great. I like being on the high end of a letter. Okay, you did I don't want to be the
Scraps of you'd rather have a B plus in an A-minus the toss away a I like being on the high end of a letter. Okay. You did. I don't want to be the scraps of that.
I don't want to be the toss away A.
I want to be the king of the B.
No, I want to be on the lower end of the highest.
Then I'm telling you about expectations.
If you want to live an A life and then you're in that minus space,
that's not a good place to live.
Be in that B life and then crush it.
So you would rather a B plus over an A minus.
I'd rather be the best B on the planet than just some A
that no one's gonna ever remember. Let's be real, you're a C minus C. You're a C plus student. I was a be the best B on the planet than just some a that no one's gonna ever remember
You know see mine I see plus student. I was a B guy a lot of bees in my life. I'm not saying it critically
I was a C student to I was a super student. Yeah, that's surprising. Well, I mean early on I was a better student
But I was a solid beat look like I was a B minus guy really low end of the bees
That's why I strive for that I strive for that that B plus always was
Oh man loosey straight a's I was a I wasn't straight a's That's why I strive for that. I strive for that. That B plus always was, oh man.
I was in Strait A's, but I was a very good student,
and my hometown is where Krispy Kreme is from.
So, yeah, so when you would go,
when you'd nug your report card,
you would go to Krispy Kreme and for every A,
they would give you a donut.
I love that.
Oh, I love that.
So I got a lot of donuts.
It's sensitive, right?
Yeah, I was a great student.
Oh my God.
I was MVP of the multiplication tournament.
Right.
Lot of diabetes.
But that's such a great point.
Like, Kris, if someone was dangling,
Krispy Kreme donuts in front of you,
what do you think your GPA would have been?
Ha ha ha ha. What's you think your GPA would have been?
What's nine what's nine times seven?
63 63 Seems like I'm faster. What we did
She said she did like a multi-shoot one. I was yeah in third grade multiplication tournament MVP
We did not win the championship, but I was the best player sometimes five you were the MVP. Can we do this one?
You were the MVP. Can we do this? What?
If you do anything, it multiples of seven.
I got it because I've been footballed
and brain of my brain.
We made the draw teams.
So I could run into draw teams.
We need to go to the bucket.
Six times eight.
Billy has a good idea.
48.
So just quick math for Lucy, you want to do while we're doing this?
Yeah. Okay.
Mike Flentess.
I mean, Reaper, come in here.
We have to do the bucket of death.
Wow.
Spoiler alert.
What?
I mean, what if the Reaper grades us as we all pick?
Great.
Per write it down. The Reaper on a piece of paper.
I don't know how to pencil.
If his friend has it.
Get some scrap paper, let the Reaper write down the grades,
and someone reveal us what the grades are after the segment.
If that's okay.
Are we doing a quick math with Lucy?
It seems like we're not doing a pocket of that.
14 times 14, so I don't know what we're doing.
We only went up to 12.
Oh. Yeah. That's easy. He's actually dizzy. I it seems like we're not 14 times 14 so I don't know we only went up to 12 oh
Actually, he's easy I mean
You are the So right
We're going to the bucket.
I'm gonna look around here and let's see.
Bum, bum, bum.
I'd like to say the audience, there's a controversy that's happening that we're gonna,
there's an investigation of foot right now that we're going to maybe put together next
week.
Really?
Okay, good.
Yeah, what happened?
Yeah, something happened in the bucket of death last week that I've been informed was maybe a bit of mouth-feasons some funny business some funny business. That's right
But let me remain everyone. I rule the my the bucket of death is brought to you by KFC's new hot and spicy wings
Order an eight piece of new hot and spicy wings for 499 at participating KFC's today
It's finger-looking good. Wow. All right, in my hand, I've got the Seattle Seahawks helmet,
and they are a minus four favorite at home
against a PJ Walker lead Cleveland Brown.
David.
I'm worried because Cleveland's defense is really, really good,
and this is ripe for the Seahawks to blow this game out.
Is the shot out?
The shot's out, PJ Walker's in.
David.
But Miles Garrett's still there.
Very casual Reaperaper right now just
leaning on the table the guy who's well the roopers are about to go on vacate exactly
yeah and absolutely leaving right now I think reapered you agree that the the day before vacation is
better than the last day of vacation you don't have to say anything just now yeah I'm gonna put it
back okay yeah really I don't trust five minutes on that yeah I don't trust the I don't trust five minutes on that. Yeah, I don't trust the uh, I don't trust the CX right now.
Uh, oh the, oh the underdog helmet.
Underdog.
I thought it was a brown for a second.
Look at the underdogs, get back to us with what you're underdog pick.
Yeah.
Alright, you're right.
Alright, I got the uh, do you think I have Vikings?
They're minus one.
Any new or team?
No, then.
Any team can't take them.
They're favorite.
Any sport.

I'm not gonna do it. I don't know. I don't know. I'm an idiot. I had the open raiders to the fight
The biggest fight. I'm sorry. The lost Vegas
Braiders. I said falcons plus one against a falcons. I'm not an idiot. I might go back and take the browns over the Seahawks. That would be
Might I suck
Okay, well gave it at home biggest favorite of the weekends
Unjust according to Billy. No, I said suspicious. I got the Steelers Steelers on the
road. There are three points. They're hosting the jags. They're Jesus. Two and a half point dogs.
Put it back. Yeah. All those. The top one. The Steelers are one of those teams. I can't get
right. If I bet against them, they win. All right. I'm stuck with the Rams. Okay.
I'm stuck with the Rams okay

No, it's a regal!
Dan Lebatard!

Show, show, maybe.
Still doesn't have a name.
Honestly, I don't want any more suggestions.
I think I'm good on those.
I've seen everything I need to see.
It's not for you to stop suggesting things.
Stop it.
I agree.
But we should just jump right into what James Franklin said
was the two best teams in college football battling it out
this weekend.
And man, was he just saying things?
Was he just, he was just talking?
I know for a fact that before the game,
he was like, I know exactly what I'm gonna say
when this ends.
I'm gonna write this down.
It was in the notes app.
It's been there for like three weeks now.
The two best teams in College Football,
it didn't look like it.
It was a brutal game.
Very rarely do you have such like a highly anticipated game
and then you go on your Twitter feed
and you see everyone just hating it.
No one was having a good time.
I really respect how he was like, I'm going to get ahead of the narrative because that
was two disgusting offenses playing football against one another, but I'm going to spin it
as what a defensive showdown. And look, Ohio State and Penn State both have great defenses.
I think Ohio State's defense in particular was incredibly impressive, but to declare it the best two teams in college
football going head to head after that stinker at noon on Saturday is why this man gets paid
so much money because he can convince people somehow of anything.
It didn't work this time though, not on me.
It's pretty much just like how he got his extension is just convincing people that he's
like really great at what he does.
And it was such a James Franklin game
where yes, Penn State has talent, they've recruited well,
but it was the entire time.
It felt like every single time
Penn State got something going,
James Franklin was like, I wanna stop doing that.
I do not like the way that it's going.
I think we're moving too much.
We can't use the defensive battle excuse anymore.
He just like, I've never seen a coach so guaranteed
to lose in the big games the way James Franklin is.
So now Penn State fans are stuck in this like weird moment
where you're like, all right, are we really happy
with 10, 11 wins every year knowing that we're going to lose
to Ohio State and Michigan every time,
which starting next year not gonna be playing
Ohio State and Michigan every year?
It's weird times in happy Valley because you're like just stuck,
which I get.
I get it better than anybody.
Yeah, I mean, it's not a terrible place to be if you're a fan.
Like you still win a lot of games.
You end up in a New Year six bowl game occasionally.
Although like you said, all of that's gonna change next year.
But I just thought that like it was very funny to see how James
Franklin reacted when that
one reporter asked him about like why don't you guys ever chuck it up and then they went
into this game and finished with like a 0% tile explosive play rate, which means like basically
without getting into like a analytics explanation, like they just didn't do anything.
Their office just didn't do anything cool. And it was exactly why probably that reporter
was asking him about it earlier this year. Like I am, I'm not like out on Penn State's
quarterback through Al R. He might still be good, but like they certainly didn't give
him much to work with in this game. And he's young. Both quarterbacks are young. This was a big game for both of that.
But yeah, it was just like two pretty,
in pretty bad offenses.
Minus Marvin Harrison Jr.,
who is like the best player on the field
on either team's offense,
which probably made the biggest difference
for Ohio State in my day able to win.
So like my reaction watching this game
was nobody has to feel better right now than Michigan.
Even with all the signs stealing stuff, they're watching this game thinking this is going
to be a cakewalk.
Everything is going to be easier for us for the rest of the season.
It feels like the big 10 is already in the bag for them.
Unless they do have to face Iowa.
Big 10 is going to be a show again.
So good luck.
Well, I mean, as long as they can continue playing, and they don't get the death penalty,
which I've been calling for for about a week now
They should probably just have to cancel their football program there cheaters whether it's cheeseburgers or sign stealing
I think Jim harbohas shown you again and again. He is not a fair guy
Don't play against Michigan. Everyone should boycott their game against Michigan for the rest of the season cheaters
hamburgers filming stuff on cell phones.
When does it stop?
When do we say we can't take anymore of this, Michigan.
You'll lead us university that cheats just like the rest of us.
I gotta feel bad for the guy though that they were like,
hey, go to Iowa, film the signs.
Film the signs.
Oh God, what a terrible assignment.
I just don't like, in all seriousness,
if your name's Connor Stallions,
like at least changed it to David Mustang
when you're buying these tickets.
Give yourself an alias.
When I heard that this man's name was Connor Stallions, I was like, surely that was just
the name he was using.
But no, he did not use a fake name.
He had a public Venmo Lucy.
You have told me that you've stalked people on Venmo and been able to figure out lots
of secrets by looking at public Venmo notes.
This is something that should be a no-brainer
if you're committing NCAA crimes,
which aren't really real crimes,
but you know, whatever.
I guess to some people, they still matter.
I don't know where Michigan goes from here
because I doubt anything will actually happen to them
because the NCAA is so useless,
but people are going
to just call them cheaters forever and their fans are going to be like, we didn't do anything
and everyone's going to be like, yes, you did. And it's going to be like the Astros or
the Patriots. And it doesn't matter because they're probably still going to win the National
Championship this year because they actually are very good. And Jim Harboh is going to flirt
with the NFL the entire off season and be like, look, I don't know what's going to happen to Michigan.
I might as well give me nice little safety plan.
I hate it so much.
Everything's definitely for Michigan.
Moving on to a different game,
Jeremy Tache, correctly told us
that UCF would challenge Oklahoma.
I was happy for him, sad for him.
That was an interesting game.
UCF looked really, really good.
All it came down to was Gus Malzahn being like,
I'm about to do the dumbest thing possible here.
When they went for it on their failed two-point conversion
at the end of the game,
I've never seen a dumber play call.
And remember, I watch I will football
every single weekend.
Oklahoma should have lost that game.
UCF lost that game.
It was tough.
It was real tough.
It was tough.
Credit to Jerebear, I back in New York
when I'm my little Draft King Sportsbook app and I was like,
I'm taking Oklahoma in the points.
And man, was that a bad bet from like the first quarter on?
But I really like you see,
have defense has been pretty bad this year.
They've had a pretty good run game and their quarterback
was back for this game that's John Rice Pony.
He's been out for the last four or five weeks,
I think with a leg injury.
So yeah, I mean, they looked a lot better.
They're still own four in the big 12.
I haven't won a conference game yet.
And Oklahoma just looks sloppy.
Like, they were just letting UCF run all over them.
Still, like, UCF wasn't able to run as well
as they have against other teams,
but like, Oklahoma's supposed to have this great defense,
and they just kept letting them in this game.
And like you said, came down to a two-point conversion
in that was, ooh, it was, it was a yucky, yucky one. But Oklahoma kind of squeaked by with the win after being
challenged probably more in this game than they even were by Texas a few weeks ago. Like, it was
really, really tense. This keeps the dream of Texas Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game
alive, which is pretty special. Um, Quinnrers has hurt thou, so that's tough,
but he should be back.
Yeah.
Is Archmaning gonna play the season Lucy?
God, I hope so.
God, I hope so.
Just the idea of what that's going to do
to the college football world, if Archmaning balls out,
create a quarterback controversy
that was never really there in the first place,
injected it into my veins, especially at Texas.
Those boosters are gonna be throwing
even more money on the table.
I don't think he will play,
but I mean, barring their Texas' backup gets hurt, obviously.
But I agree with you, from a content perspective,
it would be awesome.
God, I hope so.
I've really, really hope so.
You said you lost money on Oklahoma.
I lost money on Washington.
What, the actual heck?
What happened?
All right, so I caught the end of this game.
Apparently Michael Penning's junior turned the ball over
like a thousand times.
I was sitting there and it was like,
I took Washington like minus 28 and a half.
Like that was the line.
I was like, I felt so good about it.
You're both such losers.
I felt so good about it too.
And I had been perfect up until that point. So I was like,
there's no way this doesn't happen. And then Washington was like, we're gonna lose it. We're gonna do
our very best and we're gonna try to lose it. They barely snuck it out. There were like questionable
calls in this one. I'm not like thinking too much into it because I do not think like Arizona states
a particularly tricky team. But I feel like everyone once a year has that one game, where you're like, ooh, what went on there? Like the same time, like Georgia, when they almost
lost to Mizzou and they were the eventual national champions. Like I'm not saying that Washington's
going to get there, but I'm not too worried. I'm just a little pissed about the money I lost.
Yeah, I'm with you. I mean, I think if you're a North Carolina fan, we'll get to them in a second.
You were like praying another team would go down into an unranked opponent to kind
of take some of the pressure off.
But yeah, Washington, they were able to win after what was a really ugly game for their
offense.
They only scored nine offensive points to ASU who has a lot worse team score more points
on them.
But Arizona State has like, I think they're probably objectively the worst
team in the pack 12 this year. At least from a record standpoint, I will have to double
check that. But they have been like a little feisty in game. So good for them, but maybe
maybe you write it off as a hangover game for Washington. Like it was a late home game
after they just played or in like the game of the season so far for them.
So hopefully they're able to rebound because they've got another tough stretch coming up
for them.
And I think they slipped a little bit in the polls, but there's still a chunk of season
left.
They can make their way back up there.
Yeah, I believe they have USC in two weeks, which they will, if they win that game convincingly,
which they should, then I think all the questions will be done.
It was just, I don't know, sometimes they always want to say it is weird, sometimes they're weird. convincingly, which they should, then I think all the questions will be done.
It was just, I don't know, sometimes they always want to say this weird, sometimes they're
weird.
But I guess we're always weird.
We have to kind of, we have to go here now, Taylor.
How are you doing currently?
I was looking for a bag to put over my head before the segment.
So UNC lost to Virginia as a 23 and a half point favorite.
Did you put money on it?
No, I know better to bet on North Carolina,
but this is just the Mac Brown special.
They're a 20 point favorite against somebody every year.
They're gonna lose a couple years ago,
as Georgia Tech, three years ago, it was Florida State.
This is just debt taxes and Mac Brown losing a game,
yes, no business losing.
It was so, and Virginia doesn't have an ACC win yet.
I don't think they have one under Tony Elliott yet.
This is an insane game for UNC due of loss.
It was immediately, they were in the top 10,
and Mac Brown's like, I know what I have to do.
It's time to humble the guys.
We need to come back down to reality.
It's insanely bad.
Insanely bad.
I have a question for you, Taylor. We need to come back down to reality. It's insanely bad. Insanely bad.
I have a question for you, Taylor.
When you're a North Carolina fan and you know
that one of these implosions will probably come,
did you have a feeling this weekend
that it would be against Virginia?
Or were you like, no, maybe it'll be something,
or maybe we won't have on this,
or maybe it'll be something else.
Because sometimes you're a college football fan,
you wake up in the morning,
you're like, I can just tell something terrible is gonna happen
to my team today.
Did you have any sense this would happen?
I didn't think it was gonna be Virginia at home,
23 and a half point favorite.
I was already looking ahead to the Georgia Tech game
because Georgia Tech going to Atlanta
has been a house of horrors for the snorkeh Carolina team.
I think they're like two and 10,
their last 12 trips to Atlanta,
but Virginia, it was never supposed to be Virginia.
I should have known something was off.
The second, the game was on the CW,
which by the way, great broadcasting experience
on the CW.
It's really good.
It's wonderful.
It's wonderful.
I am enjoying the CW game.
They may be cursed.
Like this is a second weekend in a row,
and unbeaten ACC team has lost on the CW game, they may they may be cursed. Like that's this is a second weekend in a row. And unbeaten ACC team has lost on the CW. I love the like trickling of fans every week
or like, wait, what? There's football on the CW. Like I was at a bar and I asked the bartender
to turn on the CW. And I think he thought I was putting on like super natural. And I was
like, no, there's like North Carolina's losing to Virginia. I have to turn it on. I think
the craziest thing about this game was that Virginia had the dreaded fumble
into the end zone for a touchback happened to them
and they still were able to win.
Like, how do you win after that?
That's usually like a death knelt for any team.
It's like, ah, god damn it.
You gave the other team the ball back
when you're about to score.
This is terrible.
There's no coming back from it.
But no, Virginia somehow still held on to win it.
I thought it was incredible.
Since 1998, North Carolina is one in five as a top 10 team.
Some, some teams just not built for big time college football.
And I'm starting to accept that if this North Carolina team would
breakmate couldn't get over the hump, it might never happen.
Well, maybe it's good that this happened so you won't be in the top 10 when you're playing Duke.
Spinzone, yes.
You are welcome for that.
Wow.
That was so sad.
You're just accepting your fate.
I mean, I've been in your shoes so many times.
Just watching Notre Dame lose blow-out after blow-out to Alabama and Clemson and Alabama
again.
It's tough to have to reckon with that, but I think it seems like you're handling it well.
Yeah, Virginia tried to give him the game too, and Omar and Hampton, the ACC's leading
Russia, gets five carries in the second half.
He's averaging like seven yards per carry, and it's a one-score game, and we're like,
nope, let's just keep airing it out with Drake May, who lucked off the entire night, and
Carolina's receivers had a bunch of drops.
It was just a disaster from the start. There's a little James Franklin and everyone, you know
Don Lebertard
Elton John does not like performing crocodile rock, but to the point we were making
I think he still does because he just knows the crowd wants to hear it.
I feel like that's safe. He might be litigious, but that was such a poor imitation of the song
Stugatz. We can all agree piano man my good son the crowd is the
saying piano man uh... yeah but i want to hear billy jolts sing it they just let you at the end go do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Yeah, yeah, she wants a rack up suit. Is that what she's going for? I'm trying to avoid that. She's rocking our rock.
Make Billy Joel's piano.
You got it.
It's all right.
This is the Don Limita show with this two cats.
Well, I guess we have to talk about it.
Just a little bit.
Taylor was not the only one who experienced
a devastating loss this weekend.
Whew.
I'll give my statement.
I'll give my PR.
That was a very bad call.
It was a bad call when it happened.
It was a bad call after it when I saw all the different angles.
This, not this.
This, not this for the audio listeners.
One, clearly, my arm is to the side.
The other, they're very different.
Absolute terrible call.
I think my most depressing moment of the weekend
is when I was called back.
There was a minute 40 on the clock
and I was like, oh, we're not gonna get the 20 years.
We need to score.
This game is over.
And that is exactly what happened. How can you not move 20 yards? You be the eye of offense. Throw an interception instead.
It's absolutely fine. It's fine. Lucy, this was one of the stupidest ways to lose a football game
that I've ever seen. They came out in this game the same as they have in every other game by not scoring points,
but doing stuff on defense.
The under I think was what 30 point 31 points in it hit by a mile, a country mile, Lucy,
but I cannot fathom this call at the end of the game.
I've seen people waste smarter than me go back and forth on this for like days. I just can't like when like you said,
the arm is to the side.
It's clear he's waving his own team off the ball
from what I can tell.
Not waving his hand over his head,
like he's gonna fair catch it.
I just could not believe the way that this game ended.
I also love that PJ Fleck was like,
nope, there's a right call.
This was this was yeah, this was a right call. And I'm, PJ, you could just, you don't have to say that.
A text I got during the game was, did that save PJ Fleck? Because he had never beaten
IOS since he had been there. Not having a good season. This is a Minnesota scene that
is not very good. Apparently, I would team, it's not very good either. Just absolutely,
just rough all around. Just not an enjoyable experience. But when you rely on defense and special
teams to win your games and you can't do anything offensively, you put yourself in a position
where bad calls happen and you only move the bar ball two yards and one half. That is
your own fault. So can you repeat that? I'm sorry. They had how many yards and one half one two
Uno does
I believe it was 12 and then I think the sack took away 10 yards, but I'm not positive on that
once
It doesn't matter. Yeah, once it was called back. I said I would they don't have a shot at winning this game
I feel bad for Cooper DeGene. He's an elite returner.
That is the second time he has saved I was asked with a credible name too.
Yeah.
So good.
Oh, man.
I'm sorry, Lucy.
But it's we talk about can we talk about Michigan again real quick just to talk about
what happened at the Michigan state on the video board.
This has been said by many people.
So I feel like I shouldn't have to say, but I will. Don't put Hitler on your video board. This has been said by many people, so I feel like I shouldn't have to say,
but I will. Don't put Hitler on your video board. Don't do it. If you're gonna play a video from
YouTube, watch it first. The explanation makes sense. They put a video on the video board. It was a
trivia thing in the context of the video. Sure. I guess that's interesting trivia, although it's not even that good of a trivia
question about where Hitler was born. But watch it before you put it
on your jumbo tron because then someone's going to pull their
phone out and take a picture of you with Hitler on your video
board. And you don't want to do that. That is not right. That is
not good, especially given the political climate right now.
Don't put Hitler on your
video board period ever end of sentence Michigan State. What a calamity of errors this season.
It is just one more reason that the rest of the Big Ten is laughing at you. Holy shit. Don't put
Hitler on your video board. Another note to that, if you are making a trivia YouTube video,
I would avoid the Hitler questions in general,
but if you are going to have one, use an unflattering photo.
Don't use a LinkedIn headshot. Use a bad photo.
There was a whole lot of elements to this.
Michigan say to such a good...
Haven't heard that take yet.
It was a very lighting too good.
It was like that. You picked a nice photo, and you shouldn't have done that.
You should have picked a really bad photo.
This is well
So let's look ahead to this weekend is kind of a kind of let down not the best college football weekend
We've had so far. We have organ Utah. It should be good Georgia, Florida
Duke Louisville and then they put Colorado UCLA on prime time
Which is amazing. I love it. They're like we know that Deon Sanders
which is amazing. I love it. They're like, we know that Deon Sanders is going to get better ratings than our other Pac-12 games. So we're just going to put that one on prime time. So Deon's playing
on ABC against UCLA. I expect UCLA to win. They've got a really good defense. But they have had some
struggles on offense. So maybe it will be interesting. I'm going to watch that one for sure. The
thing with Stinks though is that the Duke and
Global games and the Oregon and Utah games are at the same time.
So we're going to have to do some YouTube multi viewing.
I will be at the Notre Dame pit game this weekend,
which is also at 3.30.
And hoping that Notre Dame doesn't get Narduzid,
pit lost in a absolutely brutal fashion.
I think it got overshadowed by a lot of the other
carnage in the ACC this weekend, but go watch the end of the pit wake for his game, which is a
discussing sentence. I can see that a Christian Bayer slide for a first down was like a pivotal play
in the fourth quarter. One of the most just, I don't even say like bad play calls
because like it's so subjective, like when a player
starts sliding, but the entire end of the game
hinged on it and it was crazy.
So you should, you should go watch that if you like
watching Pit lose.
I like saying Pat learned to be happy though.
I love seeing him happy, but not this weekend.
I want to see you happy.
You're here.
Yeah, he's so, when he's walking out there all confident with props and shit there's nothing better.
When he's got a prop he is at his absolute best.
I'm so high.
Speaking of props, we have to talk about UTSA's head coach Jeff Trailer doing a little
head coaching bit with mouse traps
and smashing his finger in a mouse trap.
What, I don't even understand what the mouse trap was for?
Like what it symbolized?
Don't take the cheese.
I think it means like they're on a win streak right now.
I think it means like don't get distracted.
Like stay focused.
Cause if you go for the cheese,
you're gonna get your handsmash.
I guess he went for the cheese though.
I mean, I would go for the cheese too.
I love a little square of Swiss, little camembert,
maybe some brie, maybe a little blue cheese,
maybe some goat cheese.
I just chatter him going to the team doctor bin
like we have a problem.
With a mouse drive on his fingers.
Oh my God, I love college football coaches.
I think more props should be involved everywhere we go.
Blue bases, mouse traps, whatever else we got,
counter stallions, bring the props with you everywhere.
I agree.
This weekend though, you brought up a good point.
I realized Florida, Georgia also at 3.30.
This is the hell to eat now.
Everything works.
This is the exact same schedule.
Kind of a bummer.
I am really excited for Oregon Utah though.
I think that is going to be our best game of the weekend.
Utah's got a really good defense.
I saw them at USC this weekend,
made Caleb Williams cry.
Oregon?
That's not good.
Yeah, it's not good.
Also, anyone say he should sit out the rest of the season,
be so serious right now.
That's so, that would be very silly. He's so for real right now. He's not going to sit out the rest of the season and be so serious right now. That's so, that would be very silly.
He's so for real right now.
He's not going to sit out the rest of the season
and he shouldn't do it.
Feels like a big game for the Pac-12.
Both have one conference loss.
Something I realized last week when I left the game
and it didn't hit me till I saw Utah fans
celebrating after, is like, that was the end of that rivalry.
That's done now.
USC and Utah are not gonna play each other every year
and this is another game that we're gonna lose.
That's normally pretty good.
Oh man, that made me sad, Lucy.
You got to see the last one.
I also, USC's playing Cal this weekend.
It shouldn't be that big of a test for them,
but they're on a two game losing streak.
And Lincoln Riley is sick.
Cliff Kingsbury is back in college football as the, like, you know,
stand-in head coach for Lincoln Riley while he's sick.
I don't know how long Lincoln Riley will be sick, but it seems like he's, like,
pretty ill and has to stay home.
So hope he gets better soon.
But Cliff Kingsbury will be back on the sideline of a college football game
for the first time since he was at Texas Tech.
Lucy. Kyle, I wish he was at Texas Tech. Lucy.
Kyle, I wish he was better at defense because that's what they need.
That's right.
That's where the problem lies.
To let a pig farmer do that to you and Kyle,
waiting him out here, being like, well, take our pig farmer over
your Heisman win or any day.
It's a shame they're not joining the big 10.
It really is.
And they really would fit in while I agree with you.
All right.
Well, we're almost done for this week. Before we go, got to give my any other kudos, Lucy. One,
one and over time, tough one against Clemson, with their backup quarterback, Davos Weenie,
with the quote of the week, saying in his press conference that Clemson's team psychologist
would be on suicide watch. It was funny. It was very funny.
He delayed the delivery was very good.
Davo can tell a joke.
He has apologized since.
He has said some crazy things in his day.
Between that and Jeff Trailer and God's name and
Sparky, it's just been a banner week for college football. It's
God I lost money on that one too. I had Clemson money line. I did it too. God damn it. God Washington
Clemson and we don't have the Iowa game this week. They're on a buy. How am I supposed to make money? No wonder
Half-king. So what are you gonna do about that? There is some breaking news before go, Lucy. Charlie Weiss, the former head coach of Notre Dame and Kansas of New England Patriots
lore tweeted, one request moving forward, please drop the junior when discussing my son.
He has earned top billing and if either of us should be tagged, just call me senior.
I'm proud of him both on and off the field and he deserves number one status.
Just call him coached Charlie Weiss. Thank you
What what a tweet his son Charlie Weiss Jr. the co-op uns a coordinator at Mississippi
Now officially has become Charlie Weiss big day for NEPO babies everywhere
So he's Charlie Weiss senior is right Charlie Weiss Jr. Probably a better coach now. He's just Charlie Weiss from now on
The young one has become Charlie Weiss Jr. probably a better coach. Now he's just Charlie Weiss from now on.
The young one has become Charlie Weiss. Meanwhile, Kurt Farron is going to Brian right now. I mean, I need you to take him home. It's made in a way. I know you're in your police.
I really need you to get this done. Please change your name.
You're bringing shame to our family.
your name. You're bringing shame to our family.
