It's great stuff. 20 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,840 I'm rocking cardiac cults, James. 21 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,080 Yeah, I know you're a big fan of those, Cardiac. 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,800 Cults, you got to lick your fingers before before you snap 23 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,000 that ball. Yep, Yep. 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,200 And that team do it in the backyard, just like Captain 25 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,240 Comeback himself, so close to making the Super Bowl, right? 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,320 Quentin Coriotte to this day. I don't blame Aaron Bailey. 27 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:25,920 He almost made the greatest catch ever. 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,200 But Quinn Coriot dropped a surefire interception from Bubby 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000 Brister in that game, and I think that's what cost us, and 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,440 I'm still bitter about it. I mean, that's a wild AFC 31 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,320 championship quarterback battle. The Bubby Brister versus John 32 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:42,280 Harbaugh. Or Jim Harbaugh. 33 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:42,880 Jim. Sorry, Jim. 34 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Harbaugh Now, that would have been a lot more interesting. 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,720 Yeah, yeah, leave it in. Not going to edit. 36 00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:55,480 So before we get going on to the bowl picks, IU has a new coach. 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,240 You've been watching James Madison Splits and stuff, but 38 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:02,360 Kurt Cignetti, tell me your thoughts. 39 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,440 Yeah, originally we'd planned for this to be an episode of 40 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,520 Lamentations over the season that was and didn't come to 41 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:13,440 fruition. And. 42 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,120 Reflect on Tom Allen's tenure. But we get to shovel that. 43 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,200 I'm sorry. I I totally for. 44 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,160 Yeah. Do you want to say do you want 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,080 to let's do it in proper order. Do you want to lament the season 46 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,400 or do any Tom Allen recap before we get to new coach Kurt I? 47 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:34,080 Googled Love's Last Stand and it actually is a song by like some 48 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,840 small time recording artist. So that that's all I have. 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,920 That's the update and I am ready to move on from Love because 50 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,640 Cignetti is a yinzer. This dude doesn't love. 51 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,400 He's a Western Pennsylvania and they grow football there. 52 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,120 I mean, like, you know, if if you say, hey, we got a 53 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,120 basketball coach coming in, he's from Indiana, Like that 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,960 immediately gives us some cachet, right? 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,960 Like we know about Western Pennsylvania, knows football and 56 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,840 he spent a lot of time in the South too. 57 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,680 So pedigree wise, I like that. I love that he worked for Nick 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,360 Saban. I love that Nick Saban has 59 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,240 already given him a ringing endorsement. 60 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,000 And I I think this is going to be a this is better than I 61 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,400 expected IU would do. Yeah, I thought they would screw 62 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,360 this up. I don't think they screw this 63 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,000 up. One of their histories has made 64 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,960 you feel that way. Now, I may be wrong. 65 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,680 Three or four years down the road and this thing just looks 66 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,640 like a shit show. But on the face, I mean, what's 67 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,120 not to like? I mean the guy's got a winning 68 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,080 record everywhere he's gone. And more importantly, as I think 69 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,720 Galen mentioned earlier, when you guys did your live podcast 70 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,240 right after the news broke, he builds cultures. 71 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,560 He turns, he went to Elon and turned it into a winner. 72 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,040 Not Elon Musk, Elon, the university. 73 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480 I mean that's probably not an easy thing to do. 74 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,680 I. I got imagine that's on par with 75 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,400 getting IU to a bowl game you know what I'm saying? 76 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:22,120 Like it and we've got a fairly workable schedule next year and 77 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,560 and he's got some young assistants who are immediately 78 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,080 going to get pay raises if they want to come with him and he may 79 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320 have some guys that he wants to bring with him from James 80 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,520 Madison. So I don't know I I I think this 81 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400 is a good move for IU. I'm glad they did it quickly. 82 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,520 I'm glad they got somebody that I. 83 00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,040 I think they out kick their coverage a little bit on this 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640 one. This is the fat guy with the 85 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000 pretty wife. I I think at this point because 86 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,000 I mean sort of like Gruden or Urban Meyer or something, you 87 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,880 know, crazy splashy like that this is about as good as we were 88 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,960 going to get. And so I'm pretty stoked about 89 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,800 it. I I agree with with all that. 90 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680 I mean it's, it's, it's, I'm with you. 91 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,160 It was somebody who is obviously not on my radar four or five 92 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,920 days ago and even early. It was not that the guy that I 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,000 had kind of zeroed in on was the one that I wanted. 94 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,480 But now that I see it, now that I look into it, now that I read 95 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,520 a little bit more, I'm, I'm in like I'm sold. 96 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:21,040 And the only negative is the age. 97 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120 And it's like he, I mean everything I've seen he looks 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,600 like a young 63, like if I would have guessed his age would be 99 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,200 like, I don't know, 4850. He does not look 63 and. 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,960 If you go to, if you go to YouTube, you can see him on the 101 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200 Pat McAfee Show. He looks young. 102 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,760 He he goes toe to toe with Pat McAfee and the boys like, and 103 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,400 that's a that's a rowdy crowd. And he had that. 104 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,280 They did it live in front of like a bunch of James Madison 105 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:47,760 students. He had him them eaten out of the 106 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,560 palm of his hand. I mean this dude. 107 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,560 He's he's got way more energy than I do. 108 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,280 No, it's true. And it's like maybe 62, but that 109 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,360 doesn't really matter well and I was, I was talking to it's like 110 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,520 most IU coaches it's like a five or six year run. 111 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,040 Like we haven't had a lot of 30 year runs here And it's like, 112 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,560 yeah, would it be great if he was 42 And it's like we can get 113 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,400 35 more years, it's awesome. But you know if he can turn 114 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,480 things around, get us going in the right direction, give us 115 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,200 five or six or seven or ten really good years, great. 116 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:18,240 Like that's awesome. And build the build the culture 117 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,280 that we can grow off of, like that's all we need. 118 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,040 Yeah, I mean, who are these people complaining about his 119 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,360 age? Like, oh, he's too old to do 120 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:27,760 this. Like, really? 121 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,720 Our president is like 80 fucking years old. 122 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,800 Running the country is a lot harder than running IU football. 123 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,320 I don't know. They are very equally difficult 124 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,640 jobs, I will say that, but. This guy is. 125 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,480 I mean, age is just number. We all know that. 126 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,560 I mean, that's so stupid and and you know, look, if this guy can 127 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,240 make it 10 years and he's successful. 128 00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:55,720 Holy Lord, I mean, they should build a statue of him, because 129 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,040 that doesn't happen at IU. So whatever successful time you 130 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,600 can get, just be happy with it. If he's here five years and he 131 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,000 takes us to a Big 10 championship game or a Rose Bowl 132 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,960 or something like that, you know, and he goes to, I don't 133 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,280 know, Nick Saber retires. He goes to Bama for the next few 134 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:14,480 years or something stupid like that. 135 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,640 You know, he leaves us for a bigger time job. 136 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,840 Who cares? We won. 137 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,400 Like we were winning. Like that's all that matters. 138 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,760 So the guy comes in and wins. I don't care how long he does it 139 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,160 for. I just care that he does it. 140 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,440 No, I agree. And I I always, whenever I hear 141 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,520 what you just said, I'm always like, you know, the first time 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,440 that someone leaves IU for another job will be the first 143 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720 time it happens ever. Like, it just doesn't happen. 144 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,480 So it's like, I I think it's always funny. 145 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,400 I know it's not you, but it's always funny when people get 146 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,640 that in their minds. Like, Oh my God, what if he's 147 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,520 good and he leaves? Like, that'd be great because it 148 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,040 hasn't happened before. Like I'd love to see. 149 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,360 It happen, but Terry Hebner? When? 150 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,400 When Terry Hebner was hired, how old was he? 151 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,080 You know, I mean and and, but did that. 152 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,160 I mean, obviously medical situations, you know, intervened 153 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,320 there, but nobody saw that coming, you know what I'm 154 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,560 saying? So age doesn't really matter to 155 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,840 me nearly as much. It's what you do with your age 156 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,800 and and the thing that I'll say is like you know if they had 157 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,280 hired, I'm just picking you know Jason Candle or name out of a 158 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,000 hat or something like somebody younger. 159 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,040 I know I always rail against this, but you know if somebody 160 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,240 younger came in and and had some considerable success, then I 161 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,320 know I joke it hasn't happened because it hasn't happened. 162 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,040 But if it if it if you hire somebody younger and they do 163 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,920 well, there's a really good chance that they probably would 164 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,440 go somewhere else. So it's like you're probably 165 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,040 looking at a six to seven-year window no matter what. 166 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,960 Like if if you hire, you know you hire somebody who's 63, you 167 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,600 got a seven-year window, you hire someone who's young and 168 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,080 they turn out good, they're probably going to get plucked in 169 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,159 six or seven years or more than likely if they're bad they're 170 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,640 going to get fired. Like the chance of whoever we 171 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,640 hire having a 20 year run is probably minuscule. 172 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,920 Exactly. What you need is somebody who 173 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,600 can build a culture of winning, a culture of football, and that 174 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000 can extend beyond one specific coach. 175 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,320 And it looks like Coach Kirk. This seems like a guy that can 176 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,120 do that. All right, with that, let's go 177 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,520 to teams that have a culture and are in their conference 178 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,800 championships. We'll run through some 179 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,280 conference championship numbers. We're going to play a little 180 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,200 game. There's been a lot of conference 181 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,760 bouncing around on ESPN and on the Action Network. 182 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,680 It just shows me the teams and the games. 183 00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:20,320 It does not show me the conference name. 184 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,000 So we're going to make sure to see if I can guess all of the 185 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,240 conferences that these are in there and I'm I'm not sure I'm 186 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,080 going to get them all right. Just throwing that out there and 187 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,640 I I follow sports, but it's like keeping track of all the 188 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,640 conferences is tough. First off, we have New Mexico 189 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,320 State at Liberty. Liberty, a possible landing spot 190 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,720 for Tom Allen last year, also ranked 24th in the country. 191 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,840 Liberty is an 11 1/2 point favorite. 192 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,200 Oh, and this, sorry, this is Conference USA. 193 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,720 I like New Mexico State plus 11 1/2 here. 194 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,400 I think that lines. I mean, I know liberty's been 195 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920 trouncing people, but New Mexico State's a pretty decent football 196 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:03,960 team and they they recently beat Auburn by three touchdowns. 197 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,360 So I mean, given all that, I think this is too big of a 198 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,440 spread. Now this game is being played in 199 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,680 Williamsburg, VA, so I'm worried this might be a home game for 200 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:21,360 Liberty, which seems odd that you would have your conference 201 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:31,080 championship game at home field. I don't know, but that may 202 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,400 affect the line by a point or two or three. 203 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,760 But I like New Mexico State plus 11 1/2 here. 204 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,040 All right. Next up also Friday night. 205 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,080 This is PAC 12. I know this. 206 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,280 I got. I got two more than I know. 207 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,240 I'm sure of. Oregon at Washington. 208 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,560 They're not playing at home stadium. 209 00:10:47,560 --> 00:10:52,840 This is in Las Vegas. Washington is, huh? 210 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,880 OK, Washington is 9 1/2 point underdog in this game. 211 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,880 It's crazy, isn't it? Like, I actually have not looked 212 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,760 at the lines yet and you can see my I I I think I know where 213 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,520 you're going, but yeah. Yeah, Oregon was a slight 214 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,320 favorite the first time they played right. 215 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,640 So. And then Washington won 216 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,880 outright. That was in. 217 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,960 That was at Washington. But I don't see these teams that 218 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,560 far that much separation between these two teams. 219 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,840 So 9 1/2 points seems bizarre to me. 220 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,040 There's probably a reason for it, but I like the Huskies here 221 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,680 to at least cover. I think they may win outright. 222 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,640 Yeah, I I agree. Oregon's good, but they're 223 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,160 getting hyped up a lot. 9 1/2 points. 224 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,560 That's a that seems like a trap if you're if you're on team 225 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:44,080 ducks. So when you're like. 226 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Give me the Huskies. So I'm with you. 227 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,040 I'm asking, I'm going to ask you a betting question here. 228 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,720 Like when you're in the spot where it's like I think 229 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360 Washington could just win, do you? 230 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000 Obviously you bet the money line, but do you also then bet 231 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:57,800 Washington? Plus, like, do you try and take 232 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,080 both? And it's like I'm just going to 233 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,000 bet 9 1/2 points and the money line and it's like that if 234 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,800 Washington wins, I I get them both. 235 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,920 But it's like a kind of hedge where if they don't win but they 236 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,320 lose by a field goal, at least I'm like half in, Like, do you 237 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,680 ever do that or do you just, like, do you go all in on one 238 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,320 side? Yeah. 239 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,760 So if I'm doing that and I may do that and you can do those as 240 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,160 like single game, well, I mean you couldn't do a a spread and a 241 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,240 money line parlay. Yeah, money line in a single 242 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,720 game parlay. But what you want to do is you 243 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,360 want to split your bets It it. Generally, and you should all be 244 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,000 doing this, you have a certain bet amount that you normally 245 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,520 make. That's your unit. 246 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,920 OK. So 10 bucks is your normal bet 247 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,360 or five bucks is your normal bet. 100 bucks is your normal 248 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,880 bet if you're a baller, you know. 249 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,040 So OK, I like Washington on the spread. 250 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600 I'll put my normal unit on that and I'll put a half a unit on 251 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,880 them on the money line or something along that. 252 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,760 So you kind of spread your money around a little bit? 253 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,040 Where hey, I can really win big, but it's it's a little more risk 254 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:03,520 here. So I'm going to drop how much 255 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,880 I'm actually putting on it, be it, but you're still going to 256 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,880 cover it if you win your spread bet. 257 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,440 So if you feel really good about the spread bet and you think you 258 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,400 know what, there's a chance they might pull this thing out. 259 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:17,200 That's how I generally go about it. 260 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520 I'll place my normal bet on like the spread and then I'll do like 261 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,920 1/2 normal bet on the money line. 262 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,840 That makes sense. I like that I what I normally I 263 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:32,120 I will do that sometimes version of that what I also do is if I 264 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,040 feel really good about something and this is I might do this in 265 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,080 this situation too is like I'll bet Washington money line and 266 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,160 just leave that on its own and then I'll put together a parlay 267 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,280 based on Washington point spread like them to you know it's like 268 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,240 I'm getting 9 1/2 points I feel like they're going to win 269 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,440 anyway. So to me it's like that's as 270 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,120 close to a, you know, air quotes guaranteed bet and then I might 271 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,440 throw a couple more like, you know, parlay like add a couple 272 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,760 things to the Washington money line bet to make the odds a 273 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,760 little better, thinking that I kind of already have one leg of 274 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,280 it in the bank. It's kind of the way I look at 275 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240 it sometimes too. And then I normally end up 276 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,840 losing everything but. Well, one thing you can do, 277 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,200 especially on these conference championship games where there 278 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:16,400 are these long odds is if the if the team who's the underdog gets 279 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000 up early, you're going to be able to get both sides. 280 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,960 So in a situation like this, if you have Washington on the money 281 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,360 line at plus odds going into the game? 282 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,920 And let's say they're up, you know, 10 nothing at the end of 283 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,040 the first quarter. Well, Oregon's probably going to 284 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,640 be getting plus odds at that point. 285 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,200 And then you could have a situation where regardless of 286 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080 the outcome, you're going to be winning money on the game. 287 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,240 So you know that that's another way you can play if if you like 288 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,440 betting money line dogs. That's one thing I always look 289 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520 to do it making sure it's a game I'm going to be watching. 290 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,760 Usually if I'm betting a money line dog so that I can house in 291 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,920 game if need be in game, that's a really good idea. 292 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:59,440 All right, We're moving on to the this is the Big 12 Oklahoma 293 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:05,240 State at or Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas comes in as a 15 294 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,160 1/2 point favorite. Yeah, we got a total on this of 295 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960 55. Yes, that is correct. 296 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,640 And I like, I like the over here. 297 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,440 These teams combined for over 70 points last year. 298 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,280 Oklahoma State doesn't play a ton of defense. 299 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Texas does. Kinda. 300 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,280 Maybe they can slow them down a little, but I don't see that 301 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,520 this is a Big 12 title game. That equals a shootout. 302 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Give me points. Give me the over. 303 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,200 All right. Next up we have Georgia at 304 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:42,000 Alabama or Georgia versus I guess versus Alabama. 305 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,320 Bama not normally in this spot. They are a 5 1/2 point underdog 306 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,160 playing the. Bulldogs This is one of the 307 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,080 biggest dogs Bama's been in years. 308 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:59,520 This is in Atlanta, right? This is in Atlanta. 309 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,800 Yeah, does. That not seem like a kind of a 310 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:09,240 home field advantage there for the dogs 5 1/2 Yeah give me that 311 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:15,160 all day on Georgia all day. I normally, I normally say never 312 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,520 ever bet against Nick Saban in a big game. 313 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,080 That's a general rule I have. So I'm going to do it here. 314 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360 I'm going to take Georgia. I really like that in this game 315 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,840 we have, man, it's weird. Action Network doesn't have 316 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,560 everybody here. So there's Miami of Ohio at 317 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,000 Toledo. That is a game. 318 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000 I don't have a line for it. It's it's not. 319 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,520 Only I've got 8. You got 8. 320 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,680 All right, so I'm going to make you call. 321 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,360 I have to guess what conference this is. 322 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,040 This is the Mac, correct? This. 323 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,640 Is this is of course the Mac? We've got the Miami Redskins 324 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,880 getting eight points at the Toledo Rockets in Detroit and we 325 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,840 know they're the Ford Field. Where are they now? 326 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,880 RedHawks. They're the RedHawks now. 327 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,120 We'll call the Redskins. Why not? 328 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:04,839 That's that's what Crimson Cash is going to do in Detroit at a 329 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:08,960 total of 44. I like Miami getting eight 330 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,480 points. Earlier this season they played. 331 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,520 Toledo was a two point favorite. Toledo covered that and won by 332 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,960 4. I don't see them winning by more 333 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,359 than a touchdown, so give me Miami, All right. 334 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,440 We also have another game that's not on the action. 335 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,480 I have a couple that aren't on that Action Network right now, 336 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,480 or at least they're not on the main scoreboard. 337 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,000 Boise State versus UNLV in Las Vegas. 338 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000 So kind of a home game there. This is the Mountain West. 339 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,040 Do you have a line on this game? I do. 340 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,600 I have Nevada. Las Vegas is giving. 341 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:49,560 Or getting 2 1/2 points and I I'm taking them on the money 342 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,960 line. I like them at home and I'm not 343 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,400 impressed with Boise State. UNLV has been pretty decent this 344 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,120 year. Their defense looks good, 2 1/2 345 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:01,120 points. We're going to take them on the 346 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:04,640 money line. All right, we have SMU versus 347 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,800 Tulane. I do have a line on this. 348 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,040 Tulane is a 3 1/2 point favorite this conference. 349 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,200 This is one of the last two that I'm not 100% sure about. 350 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:21,360 SMU and and Tulane are. They shoot me because I know SMU 351 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:26,120 is moving to the ACC. I I would have thought Tulane 352 00:18:26,120 --> 00:18:28,480 might have been in Conference USA, but they're not because 353 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,560 we've already done that. Shoot me. 354 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,680 What other conferences aren't there? 355 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,640 The American Athletic Conference, I was going to say 356 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,720 the AAC, yeah. And that's where Cincinnati was 357 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,560 last year, right? OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were 358 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,840 in this game. Tulane. 359 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,280 I like them. I like Southern Methodist. 360 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:53,440 I like points. 47 is the over under on this. 361 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,240 And I like the over here. These teams are going to score a 362 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,040 lot of points. I got a feeling, all right, I'm 363 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,440 showing Appalachian State versus Troy. 364 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,480 That's not D1. I'm just going to. 365 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,280 That Sunbelt, that is, that is the Sunbelt conference. 366 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:09,200 That's right. Because where? 367 00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,920 Our new head football coach hails from They just moved up. 368 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,200 I wow. Oh, I mean, hey, man, you can't 369 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:17,880 be perfect in everything. I'm perfect in everything. 370 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,000 Else Troy also Once Upon a time was an FCS school. 371 00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,560 I think that they were. I do. 372 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,000 I mean, I know when Appalachian State beat Michigan, they were 373 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,720 not D1I. I do remember now they moved up. 374 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,000 So Sunbelt, all right. Not paying close because you 375 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,320 know, yes, of course when I think Sunbelt, I think of 376 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Appalachian State, of course I don't have a line on this game. 377 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,360 Do you have numbers in this? Appalachian State is getting six 378 00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:42,240 points with an over under a 52 1/2. 379 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:47,280 I like App State to cover Troy's pretty good, but AB State's been 380 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,160 plucky and they beat the erstwhile undefeated James 381 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,800 Madison Dukes with Kurt Cignetti. 382 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,200 That was their first loss of the year, so coming off of that, I 383 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,200 think they're going to rally and cover the six. 384 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:08,000 You and I love to gamble we we do a podcast about gambling I I 385 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,560 will say if you put if you put a lot of money on the Appalachian 386 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,440 State Troy game it it's under the category of you might have a 387 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520 gambling problem like just. Look, sometimes, sometimes we do 388 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,320 the lines for the degenerates. You know, they they listen to, 389 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,120 you know, the the whole podcast can't be for normal people. 390 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440 It's true, All right, We have Michigan. 391 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,720 Iowa. It's Big 10. 392 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,760 I know that Michigan is a 22 point favorite in Indianapolis. 393 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,520 OK, I've gone back and forth on this one. 394 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,080 Well, hold on. Over under. 395 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,120 I forgot Iowa. Over. 396 00:20:38,120 --> 00:20:39,080 Under. Over under. 397 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,000 We've opened this up for you. 35 over, under. 398 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,960 Oh, I'd like the over on that. Yeah, you can still get it at 34 399 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,920 1/2. I think the over is probably the 400 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,960 play here because I think Michigan probably hits it. 401 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,520 Now there's a scenario. Or Michigan decides we're not 402 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,160 going to do anything. I don't want to show you shit. 403 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,080 They just get a field goal and then just win the game 3 two or 404 00:21:02,120 --> 00:21:04,920 something. Yeah, like, I mean, they easily 405 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,960 could. If they get six points, they 406 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,360 have an insurmountable lead against this Iowa offense, 407 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,640 right? Yeah, there's a possibility that 408 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,440 happens. I'm going to guess that probably 409 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,800 doesn't happen. I think the best bet on the 410 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,240 board right now, you can get Blake Coram 2 plus touchdowns at 411 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,680 at plus odds at plus 135. OK, on. 412 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,640 OK, that's probably the best bet on the board for this game. 413 00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:35,080 I will make cover this 22 just out of sheer boredom for 414 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,880 Michigan. Probably not, but I think this 415 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,680 over definitely hits. Iowa will definitely not score 416 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,320 an offensive touchdown. In fact, Iowa total touchdowns 417 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:53,680 is even money .5 S so over under at .5 on total team touchdowns 418 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,320 for Iowa. They won't get one offensively, 419 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:02,480 I can pretty much assure that. But they sneak in one in a punt 420 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,480 return or, you know, something wacky. 421 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,520 A a punt return that gets returned by the refs or 422 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,040 something. We've seen that earlier this 423 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,960 year from them. I'm still bitter about that. 424 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,800 All right. Last game we have Louisville 425 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,120 Florida State this is ACC. So I'm I'm. 426 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,440 I got all the two right and I was I was about to say AAC is my 427 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,000 guest so I'm taking I'm 1 1/2, I'm going my I gave myself a 1 428 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000 1/2 wrong. Scott, incredibly proud of you. 429 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,840 We should be. I think we all are. 430 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,200 It's been a great day. Florida State is a 2 1/2 point 431 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,440 favorite playing Louisville. Yeah, give me the Knowles here 432 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,080 to cover. So here's my logic on this. 433 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,440 All right, so follow me. OK? 434 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,240 All year, the entire IU football season, there was only one game 435 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,160 where we played better in the second-half than we did the 436 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,720 first half. And that was the Louisville 437 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,360 game, right? So if Tom Gallon can outcoach 438 00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:02,000 you for 1/2 of football, you don't deserve to win your 439 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,760 conference championship and you will therefore lose to the 440 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Seminoles. That's that's my that's my 441 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,040 theory on this one. Plus they were laid a real egg 442 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:18,600 against Kentucky. So if that, if that holds up, 443 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,120 we're looking at basically you know you're going to have a 444 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:27,520 Final four of Georgia, Michigan, Florida State and then the 445 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,840 winner of the Oregon, Washington game. 446 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,320 Yeah, probably, yeah. And if one of. 447 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,200 Those, There's one team that doesn't belong there and that's 448 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,600 Florida State. Yeah. 449 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,120 Although if they lose, we could be in for some fun. 450 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,040 Yeah. If they lose or obviously if any 451 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,440 of those, if any of those three lose, Georgia might. 452 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,680 There's There's zero chance Michigan's losing. 453 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,000 We all know that. Correct. 454 00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,840 Yes, correct. And whoever wins this PAC 12 455 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,480 game is going right? Yeah, yeah, Yeah. 456 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,280 OK, so we know where Georgia lose. 457 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,440 We know there's two already and and there's a world where 458 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,240 Georgia could lose really close and maybe still make it. 459 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:14,520 I I don't think they're going to lose. 460 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,920 But yes, that is also very true. It's harder to believe. 461 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:20,360 But yeah, it's like Florida State loses. 462 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:23,040 They are out and then it then it becomes a real, a real free. 463 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,960 For then it becomes all the one loss teams vying for it. 464 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,520 And that leaves what, Georgia, Ohio State, Texas and the 465 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Oregon, Washington loser? Yeah, but they wouldn't go to 466 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,160 PAC 12 teams. That's for all the marbles in 467 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,360 Vegas on Friday night. That's going to be a fun 468 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:44,440 flipping game 65 1/2 the over under on that. 469 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,960 That's God, that's going to go go panics, man. 470 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,160 Like go. As IU fans, we should all just 471 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,680 bang Washington money line and just let's go panics you. 472 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,720 Know what? I'm going to drop some money on 473 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,760 the Washington money line. I think you should. 474 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,560 I I don't know why you wouldn't. These teams I I don't understand 475 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,160 this line. It really doesn't make a lot of 476 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,680 sense to me because Washington's already beat them once. 9 and a 477 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,000 half is a ton of points. It's a lot of points and it's 478 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080 not like the game is close to Eugene either. 479 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:15,760 I mean they're both far away from Vegas. 480 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,040 It's going to be as anyway, I'm I'm with you. 481 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,520 So all right man. It's going to be fun. 482 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,440 Let's let's try and get back together before we'll pick a 483 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,480 time before the Bulls start and kind of find a good point to to 484 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,240 get as many Bulls in as we can once we once we get a feel for 485 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080 where the Bulls are set. I love it, man. 486 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,480 I love bowl season. Yep. 487 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,360 And we can even throw. You can watch football while 488 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:40,640 you're working and gamble. It's like the greatest 489 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,560 combination of things. It is, It's is it. 490 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,520 So is it better for you? To me, the best two weeks is 491 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:51,280 still the basketball conference championship week and the first 492 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,040 week of the NCAA tournament. So that that to me is like my 493 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,400 apex of sports time. Is it? 494 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,280 Where do you put it there? Conference championship week is 495 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,920 the greatest betting week of all time for college basketball. 496 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,680 That, that, that, that is hands down the best week of the year 497 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,800 because there's the most games to bet on. 498 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,840 But this time of year where you getting lots of college 499 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,320 basketball games in conjunction with your college football games 500 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,480 in conjunction with the NFL and the NBA, it's pretty nice in the 501 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,520 NHL. You get a lot of options out 502 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,080 there right now. And and so. 503 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,080 This is a pretty good time of year. 504 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:34,720 I I usually make my most money in bowl season and and and in 505 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,240 March. So. 506 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:38,920 So those are my two favorite times a year. 507 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,720 All right. Well, James, appreciate it. 508 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,400 Hey, thanks for a great season again. 509 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,480 Another another full season of Crimson Cash. 510 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,800 We got there. We made it to the end. 511 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720 Iowa over unders. They kept us going this year. 512 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,960 It was fun. I hope they never fire Hayden 513 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,240 Fry out there. Like, just keep sorry Ferris, 514 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,920 keep thinking of Hayden Fry, Keep Ferris out there forever 515 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:01,240 because he's just, he's so much fun to gamble with. 516 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,560 Oh, he's great.
