James, how you doing my friend? 29 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,040 Good. How are you? 30 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,280 I'm doing all right, getting over a cold. 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,680 It's been a crazy couple of weeks, but we're making it 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,800 through and I, I'm going to, I'm, I'm coming over. 33 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,520 So I'm going to be good for the Michigan game, which is the 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,960 important thing. I was like, don't, I can't be 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,040 sick for Michigan. I will be down there for the 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,440 game as well. My father-in-law was going to go 37 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720 with me. He's a huge Michigan fan and I 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,360 bought him. I bought the season ticket 39 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,920 package I picked. This is one of the games to be 40 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640 like his Christmas gift, you know, and he's bailed on me. 41 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,240 So I had to so I I found somebody who was willing to go. 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,960 And so I can't wait. I'm very excited about it, so. 43 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,640 One of my best friends, Danny is a Michigan grad. 44 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:21,640 I I seem to have friends in all big 10 other teams, which is 45 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,520 annoying, but he he actually went to Michigan. 46 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,120 So we've had this for for years. That the two things First off 47 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,120 this morning we had we had coffee and he was joking because 48 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,880 his parents, who I've mentioned I'm I'm really good friends with 49 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,680 as well. And we talked. 50 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,040 They they're go their IU fans are through and through. 51 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,120 They go to games. He knows I go to games. 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,400 He knows how much you love IU football. 53 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:44,160 And he's like, this is a little bit like he's like, if my kids 54 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,400 end up going to another big 10 school, like I'm going to have 55 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,640 to root for that school, even if they're playing Michigan. 56 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,280 Like it's kind of how I feel now is like the the game doesn't 57 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,360 mean that much for us. It means so much for you. 58 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,120 And like, I know my mom would be broken hearted. 59 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,840 Like I'm kind of going to be rooting for Indiana, like I'm 60 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,680 rooting for one of my kids. And then the other thing, we 61 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,320 always joke every year because I would say this every year, but I 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,640 don't matter what what Michigan was doing. 63 00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,920 I was like, this game matters more to us than it matters to 64 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,600 you because if we beat you, we can beat Michigan once every 65 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,800 like 20 years. Like you beat us every year. 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,520 He's like, no, because we're playing for a title. 67 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,000 Like if we lose to you, it ruins our season. 68 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,520 Like you don't get it, Like you beat us, you don't care, like 69 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,040 you lose to us. You still might be able to do 70 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,320 something like we beat you. That's that's a five year 71 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,440 window. So we we argue over that every 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:33,640 year. This is the first year He's 73 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:35,720 like, dude, you're right. It matters more for you than 74 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,000 this year than it does for. Us. 75 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,120 Yeah, it does. This is a big game. 76 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,840 This is the biggest game in program history. 77 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,120 And the next game after this, assuming we win, will be the 78 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,200 biggest game in program history. So we're kind of at that point 79 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,800 now where pretty much every game from here on out is going to be 80 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,160 bigger than the last. I agree, although I, I I think 81 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,720 this game is going to be the best atmosphere. 82 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,680 I I I haven't checked the weather yet. 83 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,720 We. Didn't get a towels. 84 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,040 I hope there's towels 'cause I don't have to bring my my 85 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,680 signeti towel. No, no, there are. 86 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160 I I did a podcast with Jeremy Gray. 87 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,320 There's going to be towels for every game the rest of the 88 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:18,240 season, new new slogans, new logos for each one. 89 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440 It's it's a real thing and it might be going for multiple 90 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,360 seasons in the future. So you'll get a new towel, but I 91 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,160 haven't checked the weather. We got to check Galen on this. 92 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,880 But if the weather is nice, I I think this will be the best 93 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,920 atmosphere we've ever seen at a game in Memorial Stadium. 94 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,160 And and it probably will be the best this season because even 95 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,960 though Purdue's the bucket game, Michigan has an air of you know, 96 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,720 you don't beat them very often. They're they're up there as a 97 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,240 name. They're defending champs. 98 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,800 They you know, they're a blue blood in college back in college 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,160 football. It it it just is a little bit 100 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,720 different and you know, we should beat them, but we may not 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,880 like I I just I think this is going to be quite the atmosphere 102 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:02,640 this weekend. It's. 103 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960 Going to be tough to beat that Washington game with game day 104 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,480 there. That crowd was pretty high, so. 105 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,320 I agree but it's a 330 game but we'll see. 106 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,720 Yeah, a little extra drinking, a little extra tailgating before 107 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,040 kickoff never hurts for the noise factor, that's for sure. 108 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760 What is your tailgate set up to tell me why I look up the 109 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,920 weather? Well, my buddy John is going to 110 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,680 come down with me. That's it. 111 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,000 I actually watched the Nebraska game at his house and he made 112 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,040 the best chicken wings I've ever had in my life. 113 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,720 And so I'm very excited for him to try Galen's food at Galen's 114 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,040 tailgate where I will be at in lot 12. 115 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,080 So make sure to stop him by give Galen and myself, you know, a 116 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,880 hello and let's go Hoosiers and all that. 117 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Although don't give me the go Hoosier. 118 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,160 Go Hoosier. I, I don't that Signetti's 119 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,840 trying to make happen. I it's, it's the oddest chance 120 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:58,400 somebody needs to teach him the Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers thing. 121 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,560 Like it just seems I don't know. Yeah, but no one needs to teach 122 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,680 Signetti anything. I think we know. 123 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,840 Signetti, whatever he does, we do. 124 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,000 So go Hoosier. It's such an awkward can't 125 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,480 though. Don't care, we're ranked 8th in 126 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:13,760 the College Football Playoff, man. 127 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Like go Hoosier. I'll let it go. 128 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Weather for Saturday right now is showing partly cloudy skies 129 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,960 and 62° at night 53 with rain showers in the evening. 130 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,520 But it just depends on what you consider evening. 131 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,320 We don't have an hour by hour breakdown. 132 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,200 So hopefully, you know, 330 kick off evening, hopefully they're 133 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,600 thinking is 910 o'clock. But we we shall see. 134 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,000 Hopefully that continues to push back. 135 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,400 Doesn't get darker like 430 now. So like with the stupid time 136 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,400 change, it's getting dark pretty early these days. 137 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,840 All right, let's get to this week's lines. 138 00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:53,200 Well, as as per usual for Crimson Cash, we will leave 139 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,680 Indiana to last. We are going to start with Iowa 140 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:04,800 traveling all the way out West, going out to UCLA, Iowa at 141 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,800 UCLAUCLA because they suck, is a six point underdog at home. 142 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,480 They suck, but they screwed us over last week, so we give them 143 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,320 some respect there. In fact, I think this is twice 144 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,840 they've screwed us over now. So we're going to stay away from 145 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,040 the spread on this game and we're going to look at the total 146 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,240 and we're going to go over 44 1/2. 147 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Iowa has been killing that total all year, and I expect that to 148 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760 continue. OK, you don't like the UCLA 149 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,480 spread? I don't like the spread. 150 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,440 I like the total on this game. I think that's where the money's 151 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,080 at. I was only gone under the total 152 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,880 once this year. OK, you were too short. 153 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,080 I have AI have a minute song here. 154 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160 I can't end it. I got to keep playing so we get 155 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,960 like 12 more seconds of California love. 156 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,600 Hey, just let it go, yeah. All right, here we go, End of 157 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,240 Tupac. All right, so our next game is 158 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,920 going to be Minnesota. They're rowing their boat all 159 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,120 the way to Piscataway and Rutgers. 160 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,120 We have Minnesota at Rutgers. Rutgers is a 6 1/2 point 161 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,440 underdog at home. Man, Rutgers, remember, they 162 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,840 were like, are they a stealth chance to make the College 163 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200 Football Playoff? They are four and four and a 6 164 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,280 1/2 point underdog at home now to Minnesota. 165 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,760 They're having a very IU season, a very like Tom Allen esque 166 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,240 season. They start off 4 and O the world 167 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,040 looks great and they've completely shit the bed and lost 168 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560 four in a row. Minnesota, on the other hand, 169 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,640 since losing to Michigan in a close game, has been on quite 170 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,720 the roll. I think they continue that and I 171 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,600 think they cover this pretty easily. 172 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,760 I I really like this one. We don't have a song yet for 173 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,400 Ohio State, so we that this is up for grabs. 174 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,600 Shoot us a text. Shoot James on Twitter on X at 175 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:54,360 Crimson Cast 260 or myself at Crimson Cast 317. 176 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,160 We are up for ideas for the Ohio State song. 177 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,720 This should probably be whatever, just the song of an 178 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,160 ass kicking is. I'm not sure what that is, but 179 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,760 that's what it's going to be because Ohio State is at home 180 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:10,760 and they are a this big number boy, 38 point favorite at home. 181 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,840 So I wrote some notes here but my handwriting so shit, I don't 182 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,680 know what my notes are. Oh here they are. 183 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,680 OK, so some interesting other lines on this game. 184 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,120 The team total on Ohio State is at 41 1/2. 185 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,800 And so you can get that Purdue has given up 50 points three 186 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,680 different times this year to Illinois, Wisconsin and Notre 187 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,040 Dame, all right? So I think you're really getting 188 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,480 the Buckeyes to get 42 points here, all right, So first of 189 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,800 all, I love that bet. Secondly, I think Purdue really 190 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,840 sucks and 38 points and Ohio State being 5th in the College 191 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,880 Football Playoff. Ryan Day knows he's got to get 192 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,880 some style points here because he might have a second loss on 193 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040 that record here in a few weeks. So they got to get as many style 194 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,760 points as they can. Boilers have been crushed by 195 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,840 teams that are way worse than Ohio State. 196 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,240 The game's at Ohio Stadium. The overland on this is 53 1/2, 197 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,560 which means even Vegas is they have produced over under 7 1/2 198 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:20,320 on their team total. So and under 7 1/2 is I think 199 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,880 -160 so they're expecting Purdue not to get more than a 200 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,760 touchdown. I think the Buckeyes role here. 201 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,040 I like their team total. I like them to cover the spread 202 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,400 as well. It's funny you mentioned Ohio 203 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,000 State meeting style points cause Indiana's in the same boat and I 204 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,880 feel like they're going to run it up on like Purdue's in a 205 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,560 rough spot here. They're playing a lot of teams 206 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,920 that need style points and they're just going to be a team 207 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,320 that gets just punching bagged. Oh wait, no, I don't feel bad 208 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,880 'cause they're Purdue, so live it up. 209 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,680 Oh yeah. All right, Next up, new one for 210 00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:52,400 you. I went on my own with the song. 211 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:57,840 We have Maryland going out to the West Coast to play the 212 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:07,040 Oregon Ducks. All right, so Oregon is big 213 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,080 number again. Oregon is a 24 1/2 point 214 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,640 favorite against the Maryland Terrapins. 215 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760 In 3rd grade I had nothing for show and tell one week and so I 216 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,600 sang the DuckTales theme song to the. 217 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,440 Class, let's hear you. There you go. 218 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,000 All right. All right, Oregon's going to 219 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,200 cover this. Teams that have beaten Maryland 220 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,040 by more than 24 1/2 points include Northwestern and 221 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:38,240 Minnesota, though I certainly think Oregon can rise to the 222 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:43,160 challenge here and in what will be an evening game for Maryland. 223 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,240 But in the late afternoon game for Oregon? 224 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,600 Yeah, give me the Ducks. Wait, wait. 225 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,280 Wait, wait. All right. 226 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,840 Last but not least on the spread, we have Washington 227 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,360 coming back to Penn State. Penn State, you know, of course 228 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,560 they're ranked higher because they started the season ranked 229 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:01,600 higher and they're so great even though they don't beat anybody. 230 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Not that I have thoughts. Penn State is a 13 point, 13 1/2 231 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,080 point favorite at home against Washington. 232 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,680 Penn State is without a doubt the most overrated team in the 233 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:14,160 country. Maybe so we don't have a song 234 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,840 for them. Maybe like what's the most 235 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,280 overrated song? I don't know that that maybe we 236 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,280 go along those lines just to think about it. 237 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040 I'm I'm not sure. That would be anything by Taylor 238 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,400 Swift, probably. Oh wow. 239 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,400 Oof. No, no, no, not not angering 240 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,000 the. Oh, oh, yeah, that's right. 241 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,080 Oh, cut that cut, cut. No, James said. 242 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,440 It come after. Him. 243 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,720 They're going to get me. Those cookies are coming. 244 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,840 What would you rather have? No. 245 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Never mind. OK, I better stop. 246 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,640 New, new topic I I, I would say I, I, I think the number of 247 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,280 people who are Taylor Swift like super fans and then there are 248 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,880 people who listen to Crimson Cash are probably 2 Venn 249 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,520 diagrams that don't don't collide too much. 250 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,840 So we're probably. OK, well I was going to make a 251 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,080 Penn State molestation joke, so I stopped myself at least from 252 00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,480 that. So. 253 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,000 I don't want to start editing podcasts, I want to get this 254 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,840 loaded and go get on with my day. 255 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Now I OK, so when I was making my list here and picking the 256 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,240 games, I picked Penn State to cover this spread because I 257 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160 think they need to, because I think they realize they're not 258 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,320 very good. Whether or not they can is 259 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,840 another matter. And so I wrote stay away. 260 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,520 So my advice is stay away because I, I keep doubting 261 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,720 what's going to go on. I think Washington is a decent 262 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,280 football team. They were one of the better 263 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,640 teams. I think IE has played this year. 264 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,360 I really like that running back of theirs. 265 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,560 You know, I Penn State, it's a night game at Happy Valley 266 00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:40,360 though. So that's a big deal because 267 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,160 they do usually kind of get up for those. 268 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,600 And and so I think that gives them a few points there, but 269 00:13:45,680 --> 00:13:48,400 stay away from this. You don't want any part of this, 270 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,280 people. Is it, is it a whiteout? 271 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,040 Can we talk about another Penn State whiteout? 272 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,320 Is that going to be so dominating? 273 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,320 Are they? Obviously ugly as that stadium 274 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,000 though. Yeah, it holds a bajillion 275 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,880 people. Nothing's ass ugly. 276 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,640 It's like they just you know, that like end zone, like upper 277 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,600 deck. It's just like they just plopped 278 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,680 it on there like it's it's disgusting looking. 279 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,520 Look, memorial statement may not be the biggest, but that thing 280 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,080 is beautiful. I agree and it's just like I'm 281 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,680 so tired of white out and talk about why it's like, dude, fine, 282 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,520 we get it. But by the way, like can you 283 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,320 guys maybe one of these years earn the prime time game instead 284 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760 of just getting these games? I'm tired of Penn State. 285 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,880 I'm so tired of Penn State. All right, let's get to the 286 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,800 marquee game, the 3:30 CBS game, deservedly so. 287 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Michigan coming to the beautiful Memorial Stadium as called by 288 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,120 James for the 8th ranked Indiana Hoosiers. 289 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,760 Indiana is a 14 1/2 point favorite at home. 290 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840 Indiana has covered all the spreads this year. 291 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,440 This is a big number. I, I think it's what, since like 292 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,600 the 40s or 50s, we've had a spread this big against 293 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,040 Michigan. What do you think James? 294 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,160 Can we keep the cover streak alive? 295 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,880 Well, in the 40s or 50s you probably had to get that spread 296 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,480 for your bookie. Yeah, maybe it wasn't. 297 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:08,720 A sound like a water in the. Cold. 298 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,080 Not even that happened. Or some wise guy on the corner, 299 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,600 I don't know. But when this first came out, we 300 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,880 were looking around 10 and a half. 11 1/2 is when it came out 301 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,600 all right. And then immediately shot up to 302 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,600 over 2 touchdowns on FanDuel right now as a recording this 303 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,640 you can get into 13 1/2. Oh, OK. 304 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,200 So if you got a FanDuel account, hammer that I I love that point 305 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,920 there. I think that point is critical. 306 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,040 All right. But I don't think it's really 307 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,240 going to matter in the long run. I think we're looking at a 308 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:48,200 situation where I use offensive strengths are aplenty and 309 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,480 Michigan does have some very good defensive line play, but 310 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,320 they're a little iffy in the back end of the defense. 311 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000 And so I think that the wide receivers are going to have a 312 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,720 heyday. I think if as long as Curtis 313 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,440 worked and get the ball out quickly, which he's excellent at 314 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,560 doing, I think they're going to make hay on offense. 315 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,520 I think they'll be able to put up 34 points, probably 35 at a 316 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,400 minimum, and I wouldn't be surprised if they get over that. 317 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,320 Now. What is the IU defense going to 318 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,920 do to Michigan? Michigan runs. 319 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,200 We know that's what they're going to do. 320 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,600 And IU has what, the 6th ranked rushing defense in the country, 321 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,200 6:00 or 8:00 somewhere around there. 322 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,000 I know it's top ten and that a lot of that's because they're 323 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,840 blowing teams out. So Michigan may be able to run, 324 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,840 but I don't think they're going to be able to control the ball 325 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,800 enough to make that effective and work because I think we're 326 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,200 going to be able to score more than that. 327 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,400 So either way, I don't see them topping out anything over 17 328 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080 points because they've only done that, you know, one over the 329 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:50,160 last five games. And so I don't expect them to do 330 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,760 that. They do have a little bit of a 331 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,320 quarterback situation figured out at this point because they 332 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,800 were kind of doing a carousel thing. 333 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,720 And then Jack Tuttle retires and and so the new guys in there. 334 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,280 But I think his career high for passing yards in the game is 335 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:08,319 like 132 yards and he was applauded for having such a 336 00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,680 great numbers in that game by the Michigan faithful. 337 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:15,640 So as long as our offense can do its thing and the old line 338 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,560 continues to do what they're doing, I don't see any reason 339 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:18,960 why we don't win by two touchdowns. 340 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,280 I hate this hook, but I do think that we probably win by 17. 341 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:28,160 Also of note, things working in IU's favor, revenge factors. 342 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,280 All right, Signeti's already called out Michigan, so he's 343 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,760 kind of got his ass on the line. So they better come out to play, 344 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,600 right? Secondly, do you remember the 345 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,680 score was of last year's IU Michigan game? 346 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,760 I don't. 52 to 7, Donovan McAuley threw the first 347 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,640 touchdown pass of the game on IU, went up 7, nothing on a 348 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,120 trick play. And then, yeah, the route was 349 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,560 the route was on after that. So I wouldn't be surprised to 350 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,160 see a similar, like a reverse situation of that because we 351 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,200 kind of need those style points because you can see we're 352 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,520 getting screwed. I mean, there's zero reason Penn 353 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,320 State should be ahead of IU in any ranking whatsoever by any 354 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,480 person who has a functioning brain, so we apparently have to 355 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,640 make it so obvious that even people who aren't smart enough 356 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,160 to blink can. Figure it out. 357 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,800 Agree with all that. I also think our offense could 358 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,360 score 40 points, but I think we're going to get a maybe a 359 00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:31,840 score or two on defense because as we talked about in the last 360 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,760 Crimson cast, you're seeing more and more teams understand that 361 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,200 they have to start pushing harder and harder on offense and 362 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,080 Michigan's going to have to throw the ball because they want 363 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,200 to keep up with us. You have to throw it and you're 364 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,600 seeing them team start to get interceptions because they're 365 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,880 pressing because they know if they don't score every time. 366 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:54,240 Once Indiana starts doing the touchdown, touchdown, field goal 367 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,200 touchdown, touchdown, they they can't just on 1/3 and three, if 368 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,240 they drop back and they don't see anything, they can't just 369 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560 throw it out of bounds. They got to do something or they 370 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,240 know they're going to be down 14 more points. 371 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,120 And one thing IU has had trouble with this year is effective 372 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,720 tight ends. A few few other teams have had a 373 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,320 lot of luck going to their tight ends and Michigan has a really 374 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,800 good one. What's his name? 375 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,880 Cortland Loveland or something like that. 376 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,840 He's he's got a real like like Yacht Club type name like 377 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,520 Cortland Loveland, you know, something like that. 378 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:28,640 So he's really good and he, you know, may have some success, but 379 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,440 they don't have a lot. They do have some good 380 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,920 individual players, though, scattered throughout their team 381 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,280 and their best cornerback has been out the last two games. 382 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,680 Whether he comes back or not, that would be a big deal. 383 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,120 But essentially what that's going to do is maybe shut down 384 00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:46,760 Sarot. And so, you know, but that still 385 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,160 leaves. Well, then you got to deal with 386 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,760 Cooper and Price and Rice and you know, and so and Cross and 387 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,960 so, you know, pick your poison. Agreed. 388 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,720 All right. Last week, as you mentioned 389 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,960 earlier, UCLA screwed us on the hot streak. 390 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,680 But James, you got four more weeks, three more IU games. 391 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,000 Yeah. It's pretty simple. 392 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,440 I win. Google me. 393 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,840 We got the Kurt Cignetti hot streak here coming. 394 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,520 We're starting over again. Give us the Indiana line you 395 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,080 like and how we're going to make it a two team parlay this week. 396 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,640 All right. We're not going to sweat a whole 397 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,040 lot here. We're going to take IU minus 6 398 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,880 1/2, so that's an alternate line you can take. 399 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:32,760 And then we're going to take Ohio State. 400 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,240 Oh, James got so excited we lost his camera. 401 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,080 I'm going to talk for a second kill some time while James 402 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,200 figures this out. Sorry James, I'm taking your hot 403 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:49,560 streak. So James's hot streak is 404 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,600 Indiana. You're taking the alt line at -6 405 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:58,760 1/2 and then he likes the over on the Purdue Ohio State game at 406 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:00,840 41 1/2. So that's what you're going to 407 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,120 roll with. The who's your hot streak? 408 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:06,920 Indiana go alt line -6 1/2 and then the over under on the 409 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,600 Purdue game take the over at 41 1/2. 410 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,720 So there's your who's your hot streak. 411 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,840 That's your Crimson cash. James is totally dropped off. 412 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,080 So it's just me and nobody wants to hear me half sick talk for a 413 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,520 while. Probably don't want to hear me 414 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,960 100% healthy talking. Oh, we got James back. 415 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,640 I killed just enough time right when I was about to end the 416 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,040 podcast. You hop back in. 417 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,240 What's up, man? Yeah, my idiot wife was calling 418 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,240 in and I thought I had like the, you know, like thing. 419 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,320 I'm doing this on my phone because I don't have a laptop 420 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:41,520 and it's a whole thing. So IU minus 6 1/2 Ohio State 421 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,880 over 41 1/2 team total and you combine those two together at 422 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:47,760 you're getting plus one O 7 odds. 423 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,000 So I think that's a a good bet there. 424 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,480 I think you'll feel safe on both of those things. 425 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:54,800 I like it. I, I will be betting it right 426 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,880 now and we're going to get back to some winning some money and 427 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,080 I, I feel good for the Hoosiers continuing to cover their spread 428 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,480 this week. I had one last factoid to give 429 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,160 you that. I heard this week that that was 430 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,200 really interesting. Do you know, I'll just ask you 431 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,120 coming into this year, do you know the highest revenue ever 432 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:17,960 brought in for concessions for one game at Memorial Stadium? 433 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:26,400 No, I do not. $450,000 was the most revenue ever brought in for 434 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:27,760 concession. I don't, I don't know what game 435 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,960 or I didn't ask what game. So just keep that as a fact. 436 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,960 In both the Nebraska and Washington games this year, each 437 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,840 game brought in $800,000 in revenue from concessions alone. 438 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,600 I'd be curious to know if that 450,000 was pre beer sales or 439 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,920 post beer sales. I mean beer sales are fairly new 440 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,880 to Memorial Stadium too. So they are, but I'm not sure 441 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,040 they're a $350,000 different. It's it. 442 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,200 It's just a. It's another example of how. 443 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,800 Do you like drinking? I know, yeah. 444 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,840 Who's your name to logger it it is and by the way, if that's all 445 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,800 who's your game day logger and we have anything to do with that 446 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,480 like we upland. Let's let's up the ante here 447 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,840 baby. I need a little bit more 448 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,600 cashola. You know I should play for that. 449 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,360 You know who I'm sending out there upland? 450 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560 I'm sending out my boys to come get more cash out of you. 451 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:25,680 No, it's a it just shows how important this signeti is for 452 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,200 Indiana football and how important it is to have Memorial 453 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,080 Stadium packed. It's just it's absurd numbers, 454 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,200 the amount of money that's going to be brought in and what 455 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,280 Indiana's going to be able to do with that with these kind of 456 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,160 games. We're going to have, and we're 457 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,400 going to have it again this weekend, a stadium full of IU 458 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,240 fans. Oh, and I'm going to give a 459 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,200 shout out to the stadium Hot Dogs because they're really easy 460 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800 to get there in those kiosks. Just go up, you pick them up 461 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,400 man. Then Little Bitches is good so 462 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:53,800 highly recommend them. All right, James, I will. 463 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,840 I'll see you this weekend. I hope everyone out there, you 464 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,080 you guys are out there this weekend. 465 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,360 You know where James is going to be. 466 00:23:59,960 --> 00:24:01,960 We have our tailgate. Just me and my family. 467 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,360 It's a small little thing, but we are a lot like 9. 468 00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:09,640 We're right by the outdoor, outdoor practice field. 469 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,360 Just walking up to the stadium. There's a little flags there. 470 00:24:12,360 --> 00:24:14,640 We're right there on row 44, right on the edge. 471 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,320 Come by, say hi. Just say we heard the pod and 472 00:24:18,360 --> 00:24:21,720 wave to my kids, they'll be chalking on the ground and look 473 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,240 forward to a great weekend and a win against Michigan. 474 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,520 We do this and it's it's pretty much all laid out in front of 475 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,800 us. We we get this one done. 476 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,000 I feel like the College Football Playoff is real because at that 477 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,720 point you lose to Ohio State, you beat Purdue. 478 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Those are both things that could easily happen. 479 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,640 You should be in. So it's a big weekend. 480 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,080 I'm very much looking forward to it and looking forward to 481 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,280 getting down there and enjoying the game. 482 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,280 Be in Michigan doesn't happen every year, buddy. 483 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,720 No it doesn't and let's enjoy it and let's let's stomp them. 484 00:24:52,120 --> 00:24:53,720 Let's do it. All right, man. 485 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,880 Well, James, thank you for joining us as always and 486 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:57,080 everybody out there for listening. 487 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,720 Thank you for listening. Hope you make some money this 488 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,800 weekend for Scott. I mean I am Scott for Crimson 489 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,200 Cash signing off post time.
