Good for them. 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,440 I watched. I I used to love baseball and I 32 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:47,560 just. I watched none of the playoffs 33 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:48,160 this year. Just. 34 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,400 Oh, it was a fantastic playoffs. Fantastic. 35 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,960 So you you went to IU, you live in the state of Indiana. 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,240 I want to give you a chance to kind of you know as we run 37 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,080 through our our Crimson Cast crew here. 38 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Do you have any Bob Knight thoughts, stories, or or things 39 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,040 you want to share? Well, I was going to school down 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,320 there when he was let go, and I actually ended up outside 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,120 Assembly Hall with a bullhorn in my hand at one point. 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,640 That I'd grabbed from somebody some other troublemaker and I 43 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,840 ended up getting like quoted in the newspaper. 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,520 You know I was I was honked off obviously and and it was it was 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,360 really wild. I remember Galen was like 46 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,240 reporting the mobs of students just going around campus. 47 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,280 A couple had stolen like a fish from shoalwater fountain because 48 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,000 coach was a big fisherman so they wanted to bring it to 49 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000 assembly all. It was just the wildest thing 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,520 and. And so that is the first thing 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,880 that I think about because I was like there and that's indelible. 52 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,720 And the second thing I think about is how much I freaking 53 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,240 know about basketball because of that guy I used to watch the the 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,480 show and I would always be interested in like how the 55 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,160 motion offense worked. And like my knowledge at the 56 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,600 game of basketball was much better for years of having 57 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,840 listened and watched. So those are the kind of two 58 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,720 things I think about. I mean, he is basketball in this 59 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,160 state, you know I mean. Do you think the the great icons 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,400 of Indiana basketball, it's like him and Slick Leonard are 61 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320 probably one and one a right? I mean, that's it. 62 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,400 So, I mean, we've lost both of them in the last few years. 63 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:28,400 So who's going to take that mantle? 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600 You know who's going to be the next 1M? 65 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,600 Woodson may not be around forever, but he's got a chance 66 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,880 to do something special and I I think it's great. 67 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,160 They're going to honor him this year with patches on the 68 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800 uniforms, which I think is absolutely appropriate. 69 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,920 Agreed. I I I talked to him once, ever, 70 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,400 and I was afraid to say anything. 71 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240 I said hey coach, hope you guys do great this year or something 72 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,640 stupid like that. And he just gave a little hand 73 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,200 gesture and walked his giant frame away. 74 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,200 I'm a big guy and I don't feel small around many people. 75 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,120 I felt small seeing him in person. 76 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,000 He was a huge dude. So just some random thoughts 77 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:11,760 there. Yeah. 78 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,960 No. And I, I mentioned that last 79 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,399 night on the pod, you know, I was a GAIL and I took his class 80 00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,839 together. I was in a couple press 81 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,240 conferences with him. And then just living in 82 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,040 Bloomington, he bumped into him a couple times here there around 83 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,720 town. And it's it just it it it's 84 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,440 imposing, like he's just, he was imposing. 85 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,800 He had a presence and he commanded attention. 86 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560 When you when you met him and talked to him. 87 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640 The the one story I didn't share last night, that one of my best 88 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,080 friends, Tom, who I grew up with in Bloomington, he and I went to 89 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,880 one of those Indiana classics like it was an assembly hall, 90 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,400 one of those little two game tournaments where you play two 91 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,080 teams in two days and the crowd was like, that's The funny 92 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,160 thing, People look back on those. 93 00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:59,120 You know, this is early. This is probably like 9293. 94 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,800 Like people look back. It's like, oh you know, like 95 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,080 students always like students didn't show up then. 96 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,720 Like the place was half full. Like it Assembly Hall wasn't 97 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,560 always always full all the time. So my buddy and I, we snuck down 98 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,880 to the to the main level, the court level, and we're like 3 99 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:19,080 rows behind the IU bench and night just starts ripping Allen 100 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,440 Henderson. Like you think that shit's going 101 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440 to work in the Big 10. Like it's not going to work. 102 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,840 You can't, you can't do it against again, Eastern Carolina. 103 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:27,560 How are you going to do it against Minnesota? 104 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,320 And Buddy, Tom was like, yeah, Alan, how you going to do it? 105 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,360 And night just like pops up, looks at us and it's like 106 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,280 terrifying because we're like, too, Like I was like a freshman 107 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,000 or an eighth grade. We were just like punks just 108 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,480 screwing around. And it's like, but he he he 109 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,440 looked at you like, Oh my God.

Yeah it's it's weird James. 117 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080 It's affecting. I think I'm thinking about it 118 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,040 more like last night I was reading everything. 119 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,040 I was watching stuff. I was kind of look flipping 120 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,400 through Twitter, you know, today I've been thinking about it like 121 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,960 talking to some other people to it's just it's affecting me more 122 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,040 than I was expecting. Someone who you know, I had a 123 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,640 peripheral relations like I knew Bobby, I wasn't calling him here 124 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,920 and there. I didn't know Coach Knight, but 125 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,800 it's like just didn't realize how much of an imprint he had on 126 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,680 me and just how much he's connected with my youth growing 127 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,680 up. It's just it's almost like 128 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,280 losing, kind of like an uncle you don't see. 129 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,920 That often yeah. It it it does have that feeling 130 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,360 I, I, I, I get what you're saying you know when these 131 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,440 celebrity. Deaths happen. 132 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,600 You know, you may be a musician or something. 133 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,720 You know, you can go and you can listen to their music or 134 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,480 whatever and you're like, oh, OK, you know, you know, with 135 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,680 this, it's been weird. I've been watching BTN all day 136 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:02,640 and even replaying old games and and clips and interviews and 137 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,960 it's just, you know, it's just been interesting. 138 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,400 It's affected me more than most of the celebrity deaths that I 139 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,840 can think of a 100% same. And I've a lot of the stories 140 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,920 you've heard before. The one that I I either had. 141 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,800 I mean I'm old. I may have heard it and forgot 142 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,440 it but I I heard again that just cracked me up was you know 143 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,760 before the 1984 draft. It's a great story about about 144 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,080 night coaching Michael Jordan and like the setting the screens 145 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,760 and just go go search that on YouTube. 146 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,080 It's very it's you'll find it's one of the the top videos on 147 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,600 there. But there's a story where after 148 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,080 the the Olympics Jordan called the the Trail Blazers and was 149 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160 like you know I I know Houston's going to going to draft Elijah 150 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,000 one like. But you have to draft Michael 151 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,440 Jordan like he is the best player I've ever seen. 152 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440 And I guess the Blazers were like came back and like yeah. 153 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,200 But we need really need a center like we have. 154 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,160 We have Clyde. We really need a center. 155 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,440 And Knight was like, OK, draft Michael Jordan and play him at 156 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,120 center. Like problem solved. 157 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,240 He's like draft Michael Jordan, like play him at guard. 158 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,520 Play him at forward. Play him at center like draft 159 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,600 him and play him and then they didn't. 160 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,280 So I just. I thought that I love that line 161 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,120 of like, yeah, great draft him and then play him at center. 162 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,440 I saw. Something similar to that where 163 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,720 he called Art Modell and told him to hire Bill Belichick as a 164 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,440 head coach. Yeah, so I guess that didn't 165 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,480 work out so well, but nobody works out very well in 166 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,240 Cleveland. Also, the Izzo was on Big 10 167 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,280 Network and had a great story like the the year that Michigan 168 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,919 State won the title. He was saying that after they 169 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:38,000 beat Indiana in Assembly Hall, Knight called him into the 170 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,120 office. And so that's 2001 they or 2000 171 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,000 they won or 2001 anyway. So it must have been nights last 172 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,800 year and he called him in and and Izo said that he like sat 173 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,080 him down and was like you have a team that can win the title And 174 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,600 then gave him like 4 things. Like you need to watch out for 175 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,680 these three or four things that'll happen between now and 176 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040 the final four and Izo's like goddamn if those all those 177 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:02,680 things like happened and it was a good thing. 178 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:06,200 He mentioned I don't know it's yeah, I'm like, yeah, I've been 179 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,000 watching BTN all day. I just, I wish BTN would have 180 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,200 like rename stuff because like I have YouTube TV and I couldn't. 181 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,400 I had to record like random volleyball games and like do a 182 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,880 season recording of Big 10 like all the stuff I don't want to 183 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,880 like because like I just couldn't record the stuff 184 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,160 because they didn't rename it. It was like all of my in my in 185 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,960 my my view it was like they hadn't redone it yet. 186 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,120 And part of me is like could you guys just waited like why not 187 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,400 just do this on Sunday like after you know the the day 188 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,000 before after football. Like why do you have to do it 189 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,320 like at, you know, 2:00 AM the night he dies? 190 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,000 Like give him a true send off. Yeah. 191 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,200 Anyway, I got one more. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. 192 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,120 Nobody has told you so. I had a buddy who worked at 193 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:49,640 Marsh down in Bloomington, and apparently the coaching staff 194 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,800 would go like, into some backroom and just get deli food 195 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,400 brought into them. Like, you know, they have like, 196 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,720 the hot food at the deli, you know, fried chicken and whatnot. 197 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,320 And they. And so one of his jobs was 198 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,160 bringing the deli food to the coaching staff. 199 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,160 And his grandma had told him to say something to Coach Knight 200 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,200 about AJ Guyton need to play better defense or something like 201 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,240 that. And and so he, he did it, you 202 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,840 know, thinking well, this will be funny, you know, And and Bob 203 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,680 Knight looked, Henry goes, and he said something. 204 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:20,600 I don't want to screw this up. But he said. 205 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,240 So will you tell your grandma she's got a good eye? 206 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,600 Because I've been trying to do that the last three fucking 207 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:32,440 years. So that's that's one you 208 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,920 probably won't see because it's a very unique anecdote. 209 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,280 But but, you know, I mean, just kind of jacking around, you 210 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,840 know, having fun, eating lots of deli food. 211 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,760 Yeah, a good life right there. Well that's and that's the thing 212 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,640 we talked about last night is like he was so funny like so 213 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,440 quick witted, so funny. Anyway we'll we'll keep the the 214 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,440 tributes will keep coming It's like it's just it's I it's like 215 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,160 what I I need to get focused on. It's like all I'm thinking about 216 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,560 anyway let's let's get to football. 217 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,960 So do we have to man like grease your 20 minutes on on on night 218 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,600 stories and not talk football. All right, first first game. 219 00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,280 I have a great line for it. We'll start. 220 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,280 Let's start. I want to start with a game. 221 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:13,960 Let's do it. I love this game. 222 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,320 Our new favorite team is playing our old adopted team when the 223 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,000 Washington Huskies visit the University of Southern 224 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,480 California Trojans. And Washington is a three-point 225 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,920 favorite. I love the Huskies to cover 226 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,680 here. Love them, love them, love them, 227 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:32,040 love them, love them to cover here. 228 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,560 The over under of this game is 76 1/2. 229 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,840 Would you take the over? So I would. 230 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,440 Definitely take the over. It's a wild number, but you'd 231 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,120 still take the over, right? I probably would, but I'm going 232 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,600 to stay away from that for now. I might be drunk by the time the 233 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,680 kickoff rolls around on that and cost a few bucks on it, but I 234 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,280 love Washington to cover this three points here. 235 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,200 OK, so you get to root for panics, you get to root for 236 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,960 points, and I think you're going to end up pretty happy because 237 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Southern Cal is trash. Their trash, Their defense is 238 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:05,440 pretty bad. I think. 239 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,440 Their. Defense is trash. 240 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaking of trash, let's start in the Big 10. 241 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,400 I mean a couple of trash home teams. 242 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,280 We'll start. Here we have Michigan State, 243 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,560 Nebraska, the Cornhuskers at Michigan State. 244 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,280 Michigan State is a three-point underdog at home. 245 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,600 What a what a bad sign for Nebraska if you're only a 246 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,520 three-point favorite at Michigan State A-Team, that's like having 247 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,200 a complete dumpster fire of a season. 248 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,440 Like all you can get is 3 points. 249 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,000 But that's what it is and it's actually it's gone up. 250 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,120 It opened at 1 1/2. They are now 3 point favorite. 251 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,560 So they're getting a little bit more respect. 252 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:41,640 But where? Where do you like this one, 253 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,560 James? You're right. 254 00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,480 This is a sad day for Nebraska, right? 255 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,520 I mean, and they just handled Purdue at home and they handled 256 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,320 the Boilers. So I'm going to take the Huskers 257 00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,360 to cover here. I don't like it more than a 258 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,440 field goal, but I'll, I'll take them to cover here. 259 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,720 Probably get a push. Other trash. 260 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,320 Let's go to. This Big 10 slate is dreadful 261 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:07,280 this week. I know. 262 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,280 So Ohio State, Rutgers, I think Ohio State is a 18 1/2 point 263 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,320 favorite. The over under is 42 1/2. 264 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,800 They got to do half of it on their own. 265 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,080 What do you think? What do you think here? 266 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,040 Ohio State covers 18 1/2 at Rutgers. 267 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,160 When I first looked at this, I immediately thought, well, OK, 268 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Rutgers has had a week off to prepare for Ohio State because 269 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,560 they had a buy last week. This is a huge home game for 270 00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:37,520 them, and Ohio State should be able to handily get through 271 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,720 Rutgers, right? But then I thought to myself, 272 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800 how the fuck is Rutgers going to move the ball in Ohio State? 273 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,120 Fairpoint, they're not going to average 4 1/2 yards to carry 274 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:48,840 against that defense, I can tell you that. 275 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,600 Which means they're going to be forced to throw the football 276 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,680 and. They're not very good at that 277 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,280 either, so I'm not sure Rutgers is going to be able to score 278 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320 many points. I think they will try and take 279 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,000 the air out of the football, but if you're going 3 and outs, 280 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,240 you're not going to be able to do that successfully. 281 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,440 So give me the Buckeyes to cover. 282 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,720 All right. Still on the trash train we have 283 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:14,000 Wisconsin at IU. I mean, thing is you I used 284 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600 played Wisconsin really well. No, wait, no, they don't. 285 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,000 They always get throttled by Wisconsin. 286 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,960 Every single year Wisconsin comes in as a nine and a half 287 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,400 point favorite. Is this, you know, two weeks 288 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,160 ago. Obviously the line is reflective 289 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,520 of what we're seeing. Two weeks ago. 290 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,600 It's like that would have been like not even I wouldn't even 291 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,680 ask you. I said all right, you're taking 292 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,400 Wisconsin the points. They showed some life last week 293 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,440 against Penn State. Do you think that's enough to 294 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,480 make you feel like IU could stay within nine and a half of 295 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,520 Wisconsin? Do you like IU Money Line? 296 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,800 What are you thinking here, man? Do you think Penn State knew 297 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,360 there was a football game last Saturday? 298 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,800 Because I'm not quite sure. They knew there was a football 299 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,560 game last Saturday. And if it wasn't for two 300 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,080 boneheaded defensive mistakes on their part there, that's a 301 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,480 completely different game, right? 302 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,720 I mean. Guys don't get that wide open 303 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,920 and should never get that wide open and they did it twice. 304 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:17,920 So I think this is a gift from the betting gods here getting 9 305 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,160 1/2 on this. So give me the Badgers to cover. 306 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,040 I think they cover this handily. I know it's the tough question 307 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,240 because it kind of depends on how things are going. 308 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120 But Wisconsin gets up 7 to nothing. 309 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400 Like I'm trying to what the question I'm trying to ask you 310 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,080 is like how high of a live line do you continue? 311 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,800 Like do you go in on this worth, like Wisconsin scores in the 312 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,640 live line goes to 13. Do you bet into that? 313 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,360 Like do you do you take it up to 20? 314 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Like, at what point are you done live betting this game? 315 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,640 I usually go by the eye test OK so it's a lot of gut feel for me 316 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,600 now. I know where the pre the pre 317 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,440 kick lines are. Usually if I'm going to be live 318 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,040 betting a game, I always look at what the pre kick lines were. 319 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,240 And just see where there's maybe some value to be had. 320 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,560 So that's the first thing I do. But a lot of it's just eye test. 321 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,880 So I mean it Wisconsin gets out and they have a, you know, 8 322 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:16,000 play 75 yard drive where you know, five runs, three pass and 323 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,240 they just everything is looking juicy and the line goes to 13. 324 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,920 Yeah, I'll probably jump on that 13. 325 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,280 Because it quite frankly, I think that's where this line 326 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,560 should have been, 13 1/2 somewhere around there. 327 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,040 So I think you're actually getting some points already on 328 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,720 Wisconsin. S&P projections have this 329 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,760 Wisconsin like 25 or something or 22. 330 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,880 It's like I think it's over 3 touchdowns for sure. 331 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,560 So this seems like an odd one to me. 332 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,600 It does. It's just a question of, you 333 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,480 know, can is Wisconsin going to have offensive problems also? 334 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,040 But nine and a half seems a little bit too respectful for 335 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:50,720 Indiana. All right. 336 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,640 We'll move on. Oh James, James, I'm so sorry 337 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,440 you can't bet an over under with me here with you. 338 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:03,080 We have Iowa at Northwestern N Iowa is a 5 point favorite going 339 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,760 in to Evanston. The over under is 30 1/2. 340 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,720 That's that's that's by the way there's a line this week coming 341 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,960 up Michigan's line that they have more points to cover. 342 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,920 This entire over under is it's just a wildly low over under. 343 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,359 So yeah, 30 1/2 over under. We can talk about it. 344 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,880 You just can't bet it. And Northwestern has a 5 point 345 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,680 underdog at home. It is the lowest total in the 346 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,040 history of college football. Is it? 347 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,240 Is this it? Yep, this is it. 348 00:17:34,360 --> 00:17:38,760 And Iowa, once again setting another record because the 349 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,320 previous ones were also Iowa games. 350 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,280 They should put that up in Kinnick. 351 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,120 It's it's it's the second time this year they've had the lowest 352 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,400 total in a football game. So here we go. 353 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,280 I like the Wildcats to cover. I like the Wildcats on the money 354 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,320 line. Oh, nice. 355 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,240 I like it. I'm getting nuts on this game, I 356 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,920 think. Hold on, we'll do a. 357 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,680 There you go. This Northwestern team, scrappy, 358 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:14,200 they've They just beat Maryland. I mean, do you like them to do 359 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:20,040 enough to get the over? 30 1/2 is so low. 360 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,320 I mean, I know. I mean, I'm not saying you 361 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,000 should go and rush and bet Northwestern money line, but 362 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,280 getting five points when the total is 30 1/2 is significant. 363 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,040 Yeah. So getting those points is nice, 364 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,080 but I think Northwestern might just outright win this. 365 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,960 I think the total goes over. But I don't say that with any 366 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,840 confidence and I will not be betting it. 367 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,160 I I might just throw a couple bucks on just for fun. 368 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,400 But yeah, that's that's a ridiculous. 369 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,320 Line new new OC for the Hawkeyes. 370 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,120 Yes. Yeah, not related. 371 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,600 All right. Illinois at Minnesota. 372 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,480 Minnesota is a two point favorite at home against the 373 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,080 Illini A. Few weeks ago, I would have 374 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,480 taken the Illini here. But I think Minnesota's figured 375 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,080 a few things out offensively. Of course playing Michigan State 376 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,800 does that for you, so give me the go first to cover a small 377 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,160 line here at home. Penn State, who as you said, 378 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,040 like 2 plays changed that entire game. 379 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,960 But you still had a touched, you still had an interception. 380 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,800 And yet Indiana. Had they decided to run any kind 381 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280 of aggressive offense could have really made Penn State in a 382 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,600 tough spot. Like they they got out of there 383 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,080 with a really close win. Like they lose that game to 384 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Indiana and it is like it's bad times. 385 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,120 But they won. They're seven and one at 386 00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,880 Maryland. Maryland is a 8 1/2 point 387 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,960 underdog at home. If Tom Allen weren't a gutless 388 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:55,040 coward, how you could have won that game? 389 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,560 Agreed. So I'm just going to leave that 390 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,400 there. Penn State did get lucky. 391 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,600 They got real lucky. And I think they're going to 392 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,240 take it out of Maryland. Maryland seems to have 393 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,240 absolutely collapsed. No kidding. 394 00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,440 No kidding. They got crushed when they got 395 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,320 crushed at Ohio State and then losing to Northwestern. 396 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,960 I mean, this is this is not a great Maryland team. 397 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,880 Penn State didn't look great to me either, But I think that 398 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,480 defense will be able to shut down what they want to do 399 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,960 offensively for the most part. I think they'll definitely clean 400 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,720 up the issues in their secondary and they should be able to run 401 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,000 on Maryland, so I like Penn State to cover 9. 402 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,160 All right, Next up, another huge line for Michigan. 403 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,720 Purdue is at Michigan. Michigan is a 32 1/2 point 404 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,560 favorite at home. Yeah, quick thought on Michigan 405 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,240 here. Does anybody other than Ohio 406 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,560 State fans give a shit about this stupid sign stealing thing? 407 00:20:57,360 --> 00:21:00,480 Yes. Michigan State fans, because my 408 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,040 neighbor, who's a Michigan State fan, is like, will not stop 409 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,880 talking about it. And it's like, this is a nothing 410 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,320 burger. Like it's just I'm like there's 411 00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,880 nothing here. And then what's even funnier is 412 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,800 for Halloween, he dressed up as Harbaugh with a scout team like 413 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,480 he had. Like the Michigan See, put an M 414 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,960 on his sweatshirt, wrote Scout on the back, and had like the 415 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,760 binoculars. Like I'm stealing plays. 416 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,560 But it's like, dude, you just dressed up as hardball, like 417 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,640 you're a Michigan State fan dressing up as hardball. 418 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:30,920 And he like, there's another Michigan State guy in the 419 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,920 neighborhood. So he goes to the house and the 420 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,120 guy's like, doesn't know him. He's like, I don't want hardball 421 00:21:35,120 --> 00:21:36,880 on my lawn. He's like, no, I'm not hardball. 422 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,480 I'm the guy stealing signs. He's like, oh, what? 423 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,640 And it's like, it's like it's like this is not as big of a I'm 424 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,280 with you. It's. 425 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,280 I think Michigan State fans are into it. 426 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,360 I think Ohio State fans are. I think the rest of us are like, 427 00:21:47,360 --> 00:21:48,760 I don't. I don't think it's a big deal. 428 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,800 I didn't know it was illegal. Yeah, go to another team's game 429 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,560 and watch. I had no idea that was against 430 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,520 the rules. It seems really stupid. 431 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,360 It does. But I talked to like, you know, 432 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,240 Robert from Michigan State, He's like, oh, there's like hard 433 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,800 drive, like it starts to become like, you know. 434 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:10,520 I don't want to get political. Like, it turns into like you 435 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,560 start talking like some of them Benghazi and it's just like you 436 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,920 start getting all this, like deep, like deep state stuff 437 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,280 like, Oh no, there's a hard drive. 438 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,160 And like, he knew and like, it's it's like, all right, man, I Who 439 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,480 cares? Like, we're paying players. 440 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,240 Let's get over it. Like, whatever. 441 00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:26,600 But now I played baseball back in the day. 442 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,960 You change your signs regularly, right? 443 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320 Even literally, we would change our signs. 444 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,760 Like, if, you know, I mean, that's just what you If these 445 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,240 guys aren't changing their signs, that's their problem, you 446 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,560 know? I mean, remember that stupid 447 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,880 giant, like, faces or placards that Kevin Wilson would have 448 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:46,960 people holding up? Yep. 449 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,840 Yeah. Wonder if he figured that system 450 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,840 out. That was probably an unbreakable 451 00:22:52,840 --> 00:23:00,800 system like Navajo Code Talkers. Anyway, Michigan will cover 32 452 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:01,400 1/2. Points. 453 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:02,240 Oh, you think so? That's it. 454 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,680 Oh, God, yes. Oh, Oh yeah. 455 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,360 I think. Actually, I think Purdue might 456 00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:11,440 be as bad as Indiana. I I give you this one exemption, 457 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,480 I will let you bet the Iowa over if you also bet Michigan to 458 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,000 cover it. Like it's funny to have a team 459 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,400 cover in Big 10 play. Have a team cover a 32 point 460 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,520 spread. I'd have two teams, then go 461 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,640 over, maybe go under a 30 point. I don't know how how you want to 462 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,480 play it, but it's funny to have like 2 teams go under 30 and one 463 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,200 just go over 32 on their own. I think it's going to happen. 464 00:23:37,120 --> 00:23:38,280 All right. To the PAC 12. 465 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,840 Well, we have you already got our Washington, USC game. 466 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:45,160 That's it. Those are our those are that's 467 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,360 our those are our two teams. Yeah, we don't have anybody 468 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,240 else. We've got Beavers, Beavers and. 469 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,360 Buffs we pick up Oregon, Oregon State, Oregon State, Colorado. 470 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,160 That's right. That's right, Dion. 471 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,240 I forgot because they've they've sucked for a while. 472 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,840 All right, so Oregon State is that Colorado. 473 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,240 Colorado is now a 13 1/2 point underdog at home. 474 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:12,160 Man, the shine is off the Dion Rose, as I've known for saying, 475 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,280 I love the Beavers. Give me, give me Oregon State to 476 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,400 roll here. They're going to run all over 477 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,520 Colorado. OK. 478 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,320 All right, so Beavers by by 13 1/2. 479 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:26,360 I'm not going to say more of that. 480 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,240 Give us your What's your parlay of the weekend? 481 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,560 All right, so teaser the parlay of the weekend. 482 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,360 We've got Wisconsin, which will make them 3 1/2 point favorites. 483 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,680 We've got Northwestern, which you'll be getting 11 points now, 484 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,400 And we've got Washington, who will be getting three points at 485 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,600 Southern Cal. OK, sounds good. 486 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,160 Looking forward to it. We're getting getting to the 487 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,760 home stretch, man. We're getting close to the end 488 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,720 here. We got like three more. 489 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,920 Three more weeks. Yeah. 490 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,440 Something we should do, like maybe like a basketball preview 491 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,160 podcast or something like that. Maybe when some lines start 492 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,840 coming out for college basketball. 493 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:03,880 I like that. Let's do it, Yeah. 494 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,160 Look at some futures and things like that. 495 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,440 Do a Crimson cash special. Let's do that. 496 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,920 I'll start looking at some futures and we'll do that. 497 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,560 I like that. Awesome. 498 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,560 All right, man. James, as always, a pleasure. 499 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,400 And everyone else, thank you for listening. 500 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,000 And for all of you out there, this is Scott for Crimson Cash 501 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,000 signing off.
