In short
Recaps college football Week 1, with heavy focus on major games and “buying/selling stock” takes. Starts with Booger McFarland (after eating six donuts) and includes debate about Arch Manning’s poor debut, Alabama’s collapse vs Florida State, and LSU’s win over Clemson. Ends with “Mount Rushmore” controversy and a discussion of a “duel” outcome (implied rules/possible wrongdoing) concluding the AWLs as winners.
Guests
Booger McFarland, former NFL defensive tackle and analyst (known for football commentary). The rest of the panel are the regular Part of My Take hosts (not individually identified in the transcript beyond references like “Max,” “Zach,” “Big Cat,” etc.).
Key claims
- Arch Manning looked “lost” for 3.5 quarters vs Ohio State; Ohio State’s defense dominated and Arch’s interception was “really bad.” Hosts argue his stock is at its lowest and they’d buy it for future improvement.
- Alabama is “back” to pre–Nick Saban levels after being physically manhandled by Florida State; Kalen DeBoer is under pressure and has lost to unranked teams.
- LSU’s defense was the difference vs Clemson; Brian Kelly’s sideline incident is mocked, and a called-back LSU touchdown is debated as a likely touchdown.
Notable examples
- Ohio State vs Texas: Texas outgained OSU 336-203; no sacks; Arch’s missed easy throws and route/interception criticism.
- Florida State vs Alabama: Gus Malzahn’s old-school trick/quick-snap rushing success; Thomas Castellanos’ “Saban can’t save you” trash talk referenced.
- Clemson vs LSU: LSU D-line dominance; Harold Perkins noted as healthy; disputed touchdown call.

3:34Big Cat:Hey, Jordan had maybe the best box of the night. She did. Was that her box that had like LT, Michael Jordan, Roy Williams? Were they all in Jordan's box?
3:43PFT Commenter:I think that was a separate box because I saw in her box was Randy Moss. Oh, okay. Still a good box. Yes, great box. As for the game, Bill Belichick has some work to do with UNC.
3:57Big Cat:I would say so. I would say maybe Jordan needs to be allowed back on the sidelines. Headset. Why are you kicking Jordan out of all decision-making from the team and then acting surprised when you get the shit kicked out of you by TCU week one of the college football season?
4:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, and it was a shit-kicking game. Listen, UNC, I don't think UNC's ever been more, I don't want to say back, because have they ever, for football, I mean, they've had good players, but have they ever awesome?
4:25Big Cat:Yeah, I mean, when Butch Jones was just not letting the guys go to school, when they were skipping classes, they were pretty good then.
4:33PFT Commenter:Yeah, but that 7-0 start to the game where they marched down the field, that felt good. Yeah. And then everything after felt really bad because I think it was a 41-0 run by TCU who looked awesome.
4:46Big Cat:Let me ask you this. When do you think Jordan, not Jordan, but Michael Jordan left the game?
4:51PFT Commenter:I would say right after the first drive of the third quarter. I think maybe after the opening kickoff of the second half. Yeah. That might have been it. Yeah, might have been it. But not the best start for Bill Belichick at UNC. Hank, what did you think about the game? Jordan looked great.
5:08Big Cat:Jordan looked great. It's a long season. It's his first year. They're still, you know, these aren't his players.
5:14PFT Commenter:Well, no, they literally all are because he got a shitload of transfers.
5:18Big Cat:But it's hard to get transfers and build a program that quickly. It's going to take some time. I'm going to wait until the university-approved documentary series about what's been going on behind the scenes comes out to fully judge what's going on at UNC.
5:31PFT Commenter:Yeah. I should say they actually were more back than the 7-0. It was when Bill Belichick released the depth chart that was just listing the positions and no names. And then when Holly Rowe interviewed Bill Belichick before the game, I don't know if you can pull up that clip, Max, but very, very funny of Bill Belichick with his cutoff hoodie in just a very grumpy Bill Belichick way, which was – that was back. That felt like it was back. It was good to have him back in football on the sideline. It was just like an old-time, yeah, this is fun. This is going to be fun. And then it was just not fun.
6:05Big Cat:He looked good in the Carolina blue uniforms, like in the official team merch. Yeah. His eyes were popping. That works with Bill.
6:12PFT Commenter:Yeah.
6:12Big Cat:All right, here it is. Weird statistic. It is 34 years to the day that you debuted as an NFL head coach, and now you're making your debut as a college football coach. What's going on inside you right now? Excitement, nerves? What does it feel like? I hope it goes a lot better in the game against Dallas and Jimmy Johnson. They crushed us. So I hope it goes better than that. I know that you've got a great motto where you say practice execution becomes game reality. What have you seen this week in practice that you think your kids can execute tonight? Well, hopefully we can do a good job of their fundamentals, ball security and communication.
6:49Big Cat:Tell me about the hoodie. I mean, had to be cut off sleeves, right? Yeah, it's kind of my thing. Thank you, Coach. Have fun tonight. Thank you. Still got it. 100 % has it. But this can't be a true stat. Uh-oh. Based on UNC's quarterback play tonight. Gio Lopez did not complete a pass for 128 minutes.
7:13PFT Commenter:Yeah, no, that was true. That's pretty bad. Yeah, it was really bad. It was really, really bad. I don't know if that includes the pick six. That's completion of somebody. Yeah, he completed someone. Yeah, Bill Belichick has to be in hell being like, this is not a quarterback I wanted to coach.
7:30Big Cat:but he's coaching them it doesn't look good right now no although hey list they haven't really done a whole lot that you can look at besides that first drive of the game yeah and be like oh
7:40PFT Commenter:i see reason for optimism 41 14 uh unc's getting the ball back you never know it looked like it might be roughing the punter you never know this quick score stop score stop score i think they'd still be down three but that'd be good yeah um all right let's get to the rest of the games we had an awesome weekend of college football okay rest of the weekend what a weekend it was where should we start and should it be is arch manning ass i was gonna say is is alabama ass why we gotta get we gotta get to alabama i thought we'd go chronologically on saturday because it was a great Saturday. Awesome first week of college football.
8:22PFT Commenter:It was big. It was noon. It was Saturday. The Ohio State-Texas game kicked us off. Listen, I'll actually start with this. I thought that Ohio State was going to win the game. I bet Ohio State. I am believing in Ohio State just because it was a home environment for them. National champions. Arch Manning's first real start. You saw him last year, obviously, playing in spurts, Louisiana Monroe. I think he came in for a little bit against Georgia. A couple packages here and there. I think he played a little bit the year before against Texas Tech maybe. But it was like this was it. This was the first real start.
8:59PFT Commenter:And let's just say it didn't go well because it was basically an entire open mic of Arch Manning jokes on Twitter and in the world. Because for three and a half quarters, he looked so lost.
9:13Big Cat:He looked bad. He looked like he was stepping away from throws a lot, and he was hearing the footsteps. So the defensive line did a great job for Ohio State. Their defense was awesome. Defense was incredible. Matt Patricia, who goes to college, and then he's like, yeah, I know a lot of shit from the pros that all these offensive coordinators in college for the most part haven't seen too much of. So he was kind of dipping in his bag a little bit. But Arch, he was stepping away from a lot of throws. It looked like he was a little timid. And when it comes to Peyton, and to I guess a lesser extent Eli, but mostly Peyton, the best thing about him was how smart he was and how he could pick apart a defense he knew it was coming he knew it was happening arch hasn't played enough football to be able to even tell like does this guy really get it or not i have an arch manning take i i don't think it's fair to say that how old is he right now 20 probably yeah i think he's 20 i don't think it's fair to say this about arch being only 20 and only one real start so maybe we can bleep out this take but you guys can hear it yeah
10:11PFT Commenter:I think he might be I'm not going to go that far to say I'm actually going to buy Arch Manning's stock because I don't I really don't know who does well in that situation and yes the name the recruiting all these things hurt him in this case where he's so hyped up at the end of the day it was his first real start and it was against the defending national champions in their house. I just don't – I didn't expect him to be awesome. I obviously didn't expect him to be as bad as he was. But I might buy all the arch stock because it's as low as it possibly could be right now.
10:48Big Cat:I think he's going to be really good. I'm just saying it's a tall hill to climb to expect him to be like –
10:54PFT Commenter:Yeah, and it was one of those situations where Ohio State's defense did carry the day. They were incredible. Texas' defense was very good too. Texas outgained Ohio State 336-203. I know obviously a little bit of that was at the end of the game when Texas was having to push the ball down the field. Both teams didn't give up a sack. The interception was really bad for Arch. He just looked really bad, but I didn't expect him to look great. And then he got roasted beyond belief. And I love the somehow Shador is still alive in college football discourse being like, hey, keep that same energy for Arch that you did Shador.
11:32PFT Commenter:I listen when when you go online in the middle of a game and they have people saying 9-11 if Arch Manning was the pilot and it's just a plane missing the Twin Towers I think we've reached the
11:44Big Cat:point where he's getting roasted properly yeah I'd say it's probably a little bit too far yeah and even on that interception they had yeah it looked bad I heard Ocho Cinco talking about it he says the receiver ran the wrong route on it and where he was supposed to like come back towards the ball but overall Arch didn't look good he missed some very easy throws like on that last drive of the game they should have gotten that first down he put that ball behind the receiver
12:05PFT Commenter:they weren't able to pick it up that was the end of the game also sark just still can't coach red zone offense it's always been an issue for him it still is an issue for him that was the clunkiest push whatever that was yeah uh it just he they can always move the ball and then they get to the
12:22Big Cat:red zone and it just doesn't work yeah sometimes just run the ball up the middle you got you got some great running backs in texas you should use them yeah so i mean it was a good start though
12:30PFT Commenter:It wasn't like the most exciting game, but Ohio State still looks just as good as last year, maybe if not better. And we also had Rogue, which I think was Photoshopped, but it still was funny because if there's any coach in the country that you're like, he might be a nipple ring guy, it is Ryan Day. Yeah.
12:47Big Cat:I mean, I choose to believe that it's real. Oh, me too. I saw it. It looked real enough to me. That's why Jim Trestle always wore the sweater vest. You could never see those things poking through.
12:56PFT Commenter:It also just fits. Like, Ryan Day is the guy. He's like, he's got some freak to him. And I weirdly, if he had nipple piercings, I think I'd respect Ryan Day more. So I was thinking about it.
13:08Big Cat:And again, I don't know if it's true or not. But going off the assumption that it is true. It appeared to be only one nipple was pierced of the two, which tells me, and I saw some other people kind of speculating the same thing. It was, if we win the national championship, I'll pierce my nipple piercing. I see. I like if you have two of them. Yeah, then that's a freak. But if you got one, that's like, OK, I did it for the guys.
Read the full transcript
13:31PFT Commenter:I like to think of it as that Ryan Day has both nipples pierced in the offseason. He's got the chain link in the middle. And then when football comes back, he's like, all right, time to get to business. Take the chain down. Take one of them out. We're just going solo nipple ring for the season.
13:46Big Cat:Keep one over the heart. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want to know what Matt Patricia does with that pencil after the game where he sticks that thing. It was nice to see the pencil still there Even though the play sheet's laminated for Matt Patricia
13:55PFT Commenter:It's been laminated forever It has It's been laminated when he was in Detroit I think it was laminated at the end when he was with the Patriots
14:01Big Cat:Zoom in real hard on that nip
14:03PFT Commenter:That's what we call dotting the I in Ohio This is also just a great sign of College football One of the greatest parts about it is The fan bases are so insane That I would like to believe it's real But if it's not Someone, some rival fan base Was like, you know what we're going to do we're going to photoshop that ryan day has a nipple piercing put it out into the world and
14:25Big Cat:just watch it gain steam so the thing about this picture is i saw this picture everywhere on uh on saturday morning but it was all the same picture with the red circle correct so i i haven't seen the initial screen grab i don't even know was that from the texas game yeah yeah no that was
14:41PFT Commenter:from that was exactly what he was wearing i'm i'm saying i it it was definitely photoshopped it was a really good Photoshop. Yeah, here's the... Yeah, so it's... The real one is maybe not...
14:52Big Cat:Did they take his nipple and then make two smaller nipples in the Photoshop next to it?
14:56PFT Commenter:Yeah, no, they gave him a nipple piercing. I like it, though.
14:59Big Cat:Yeah. It fits him. I would like to see this happen more often with public figures.
15:03PFT Commenter:It fits him perfectly.
15:05Big Cat:Okay, so I'm glad that it's Photoshopped. I thought... No, I knew. I was like 50-50, but again, it was so good that I chose to believe that it's real. Right. But I got a good idea for maybe your football picks punishment. at the end of the year.
15:17PFT Commenter:Oh, a little nipple piercing? Maybe a little nipple piercing. Nipple piercing. So, wait, going around the room, is everyone who's buying stock in Arch who's like he's stock?
15:26Big Cat:I 100 % am going to buy stock in Arch Manning. I don't actually think that he's dumb. I just think that he hasn't played enough football to get the Manning superpower, which is being able to see what a defense is going to do and adjust everything on the fly and beat you with your mind. It's impossible for him to do that right now. I think physically he'll get there. He'll be more accurate. And I don't think he's going to see too many defenses that are as good as Ohio State. I'd be shorting him for this year. You're done? I don't think he's going to be Heisman. He's not going to come back to Heisman form or even close to it.
15:58Big Cat:He's not going to be a bounce back where he looked that bad. And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, no, he's actually really good. I think he'll figure something out. I think a big part of that is going to be just get the ball to Wingo. Let him run with the ball. He's so fucking fast. And they didn't really use him.
16:12PFT Commenter:It was getting so bad for Ars that people were just pulling up his high school. tapes where he was like dominating a bunch of like five six white kids and being like look at this again he wasn't he it would be one thing if he was drafted number one overall he still has a college career to play didn't didn't uh didn't arch his archie his grandfather say he's staying
16:34Big Cat:for another year yeah but so he's got two more years then arch said archie doesn't really know
16:39PFT Commenter:okay plans are so whatever he might if he's bad he's gonna stay for another year he also has the baker mayfield effect of like he looked like shit then it goes to commercial break and there's just
16:48Big Cat:six oh yeah commercials i don't think that helped because that i met on texas and every time it came on i was just like oh yeah complete a pass first and you know stop worrying about the commercials yeah good news for him is he's got some uh some pretty easy games coming up over the next couple weeks so he should he should start to look more like the arch that we thought and again if you're like mad at arch for being for being asked really we need to take some accountability in the media as a whole because we saw another man in coming into college football and we spent the last two years being like this guy's going to be the best that we've ever seen from that family max are you buying stock uh yeah for sure um i bet on texas so i was really rooting for him to like see what the internet did if he came back and tied that game up yeah it like had a chance he started off that drive with with a good throw and it looked like the entire internet was going to have to eat all their shit, but then obviously he fucked it up.
17:40Big Cat:Yeah, no, I'm buying stock. I'm buying stock. Also, was that Caleb Downs with that last tackle of the game? Yeah. That was incredible play by him. He's so fucking good. He's awesome.
17:50PFT Commenter:Max, or sorry, Zach and memes, are you guys buying stock or selling stock?
17:56Big Cat:I think I'm going to sell stock because I think there's a chance he saw just how many memes were online and he might be in a spin zone he can't come out of.
18:04PFT Commenter:Yeah, that's definitely, I hope he took the advice of his uncles being like, don't be online ever because it was horrific how fast people jumped on him. It was bad. It was so bad. It's the doubt like when everyone says, oh, his last name gives him so much. His last name also gives him just years of people being sick of Manning's dumping on him to a level that is just nuclear.
18:30Big Cat:Yeah. Every enemy that Eli or Peyton has ever made now has a new focus for all their hatred.
18:34PFT Commenter:Yeah. uh memes i think he'll be okay but i'm selling oh okay i don't think he's at the level that people think okay okay they're holding him to um all right the next game that happened on saturday and we'll touch some uh smaller games after we get the big three uh bam is done bam is cooked killing the boar they got absolutely manhandled i i i was way wrong on this because i thought You heard us on Friday. I thought Ryan Grubb coming back with Kalen DeBoer was going to fix some of the offense. That first drive looked like it did. I think they had like 55 yards rushing on the first drive. I think they ended up with like 85 yards the whole game.
19:19They didn't just lose.
19:21PFT Commenter:They got absolutely manhandled. Florida State and Gus Malzahn, the Alabama killer. Gus Malzahn is 6-7 as a coordinator or head coach against Alabama, which you're like, oh, that's a losing record. No, no, no. Guys went their entire careers without beating Nick Saban. Gus Malzahn had them in fits, was just running the ball down their throats, just mauled them. I thought Bama's defense was going to be awesome. It's not. Alabama, you are now just a regular program with the rest of us.
19:51Big Cat:Alabama is back to what Alabama was before Nick Saban. They had a great run with Bear Bryant. Then they tried to figure out everything possible under the sun to replace Bear Bryant, and they never really did. And then Nick Saban, maybe the best college coach ever. He's the best college coach ever. Bear Bryant and Nick Saban, they got the two right there. I think Nick Saban. So then Nick Saban shows up and all of a sudden just dominates college football. This is going back to Bama. This is what you were before Nick Saban was there. That's what you're going to be after Nick Saban leaves unless you find the next Nick Saban.
20:21Big Cat:And they got their ass kicked. It was physical domination from Florida State, like from start to finish. It was just everything they wanted to do, especially on offense. Malzahn was doing the shit that he used to do, like the tricky stuff. Oh, yeah. That he hasn't done in years, like looking over to the sideline, pretending they were getting the play called in, quick snap, run the play.
20:40PFT Commenter:Rushing, breaking the huddle quickly and snapping it.
20:42Big Cat:Yeah. Yeah. Gus Malzahn was back to everything that he used to do back in the day. And, yeah, I think Florida State might also just be really good.
20:50PFT Commenter:Yeah, well, shout out Thomas Castellanos, because that is the definition of backing up the shit talking you did, and he did it all summer. Remember in June, he said, they don't have Nick Saban to save them. I just don't see them stopping me. He said about Bill O 'Brien, Bill O 'Brien and I butted heads early in the season. I got banged up in a few games. We had a meeting. It kind of blew up in my face. I did so much for that program. I just wasn't repaid the right way about transferring. And now he is selling Nick Saban can't save you shirts on his website. I love it. There's nothing better in sports than having trash talk and backing it up, and he did exactly that.
21:30PFT Commenter:As for Bama fans, so I have two pieces of cope that I would like to have you guys judge. One is in the late game, but this was from Message Board Genius, who has a great Twitter account who just trolls the message boards and watches people freak out in college football. This he got from Crimson Cade, who wrote, I know this is easy for us Bama fans since we lost, but the other games and game day just doesn't feel the same. I feel like not many people care anymore, and it's so sad to me. What do you all think? Is college football dying for Bama fans because they no longer win every game? They're gaining a lot of perspective about life.
22:08Big Cat:We're going to see a ton of golfers coming out of Alabama in the next, like, five, ten years because, like, football, what is football real?
22:14PFT Commenter:I just love this guy being like, man, football isn't as fun now that I'm not winning every single game every single time we go out there and physically dominating every single opponent. and never having to worry about losing to an unranked team. So Kalen DeBoer has lost four games to unranked teams, and I believe he's been at Alabama for 14 games. Let me pull up the stat. It is, yeah. So he is 4-4 right now. Oh, no, sorry. That was, yeah. He's lost four games to unranked teams in a season and one game. So however many games. I think that's 14 games. Nick Saban in 17 seasons lost four games total to unranked teams.
22:56PFT Commenter:He actually had a streak where he won 100 straight games against unranked opponents. He never lost to these teams. He never, ever lost to these teams. And not only that, but I think there's a double-digit. I think Kalen DeBoer has now lost four games as double-digit favorites. It's different. It's different. And the memes that are going around about Kalen DeBoer, how he changed Nick Saban's office to a T-Mobile store. It does feel. What do you mean? Have you not seen these? No, I didn't see the T-Mobile store. Pull up the pictures. Nick Saban used to have an office that was. It was great. It basically looked like Bear Bryant's office.
23:32PFT Commenter:It was a time capsule. And now Kalen DeBoer went in and renovated everything. And it does look like a T-Mobile store.
23:38Big Cat:Yeah, that looks like a cell phone store. It looks like a set that they build in like two days on ESPN to do like one interview in.
23:46PFT Commenter:Yeah.
23:46Big Cat:The name. It's too sanitary. The name Kalen.
23:49PFT Commenter:Now that it's like light is being shown on it. It's a stripper name. It's a hot stripper name. If it had, if it was K-A-L-Y-N. It's still a hot stripper name. Maybe two names. K-A-L-E-N.
24:01Big Cat:Killed the board. Yeah, I saw this post. Our good friend Paul Feinbaum. He opens up the phone lines on Mondays. And that's where you get the real takes. That's where you get the real Alabama fans that call in. And they weigh in, and they let you know what needs to happen. This is from Legend. He says, we don't need a marriage counselor. This is a full-fledged divorce now. It's only a matter of when we run your ass off now. I'm not saying I hate your ass, but if you were on life support, I'd pull the plug and charge my phone.
24:29PFT Commenter:That's pretty good. Here's another one. Pretty good from Legend. Diego Ricardo said, we got to up the toxicity, get him down in his feelings, Maybe infidelity with a coworker will be just the thing that will make him feel loved again. Then we can hit him with the moral turpitude clause. They're trying to set him up to paying a secretary. It's also crazy because this is the first time that Alabama has been bad. They'll probably still end up winning eight, nine games, whatever. But it's the first time they've been below 500 at any point in any season since the end of the 2006 season. There was no social media back then.
25:07PFT Commenter:Like this is this is uncharted territory. Alabama has been the dominant force in college football since Twitter, since Instagram, since Facebook, like all these things. The world is so different than the last time Alabama sucked. And now they're just another program. And it's the downfall is going to be fun to watch. And I mean, credit to Brandon Walker. He said that he's going to get run out. I think he has a 60 million dollar buyout clause.
25:35Big Cat:mm-hmm who boy no it's a good point alabama they've been good at football the last time that they weren't was in the bush administration yeah pretty crazy to think about and then big cat have you thought about it have you thought about it with wisconsin uh no because here's the problem
25:51PFT Commenter:so i i had the brief thought uh because wisconsin plays alabama in two weeks so the unfortunate thing for me is that alabama was not good last year either i mean not to alabama standards and And we got like 50-piece by him. So, yeah, we're going to lose that game by a lot.
26:06Big Cat:That might be a get. Well, they got a get-right game next week against Louisiana Monroe.
26:11PFT Commenter:I wish I could get myself there, but then I remembered that I went to the game last year where, again, Alabama was mortal because they lost to Oklahoma, they lost to Vanderbilt, all these teams, and then we got absolutely smoked. Maybe we'll keep it closer.
26:24Big Cat:I mean, it is going to be fun if this is a season of Alabama downfall. Oh, yeah. Just to see how – I think Brandon Walker might have been right that you're supposed to be sec he's not sec he's dude he followed nick saban it's it's a lot of money he's getting a lot of money yeah it's a great deal for him he also had a pretty good setup
26:42PFT Commenter:in washington yeah but it was it's like i think it was double the money yeah which is hard to turn out yeah no it's already going bad did you see there's a press conference today uh can you find it where he he was asked uh hey you said that you had a great week of practice and he was like I said that and they went he and the reporter went back and forth on whether he said it or not it was basically a Francesa bit uh you can already feel feel the pressure coming here it is just how much do you self-scout the preparation before games and are there times as a coach where maybe you notice during the week that things might not be going the way that you want them to you said what do you mean great week a great week you said a great week of preparation for this week you're saying sorry for until last going up to Florida State before that game uh i said that you said that yeah before oh just somebody oh yeah okay all right um it's bad that's bad our guys did i mean that's not a hard question no it's not that's a very like football 101 every coach says hey we had a great week of practice and they get killed and then you got to answer that and be like yeah i don't know what happened i mean saban had it right he would just
27:48Big Cat:he would answer questions in his own way regardless of the question that was asked he would just speak about the thing that he was going to talk about no matter what yeah and if there was a dumb question he'd just be like that's a dumb ass question next question yeah Kalen DeBoer he's feeling so much pressure that now he's like trying to interact with reporters yeah and it's just I
28:06PFT Commenter:mean Alabama used to they were a machine that would fear you know striked fear in every single opponent they played and going into Florida State and having I again I agree Florida State like that That was awesome that Florida State, after a year from hell last year, they had this huge win in Tallahassee, and I'm happy for Florida State fans because they did – I know the guy didn't eat the poop, but they basically went through eating poop for an entire season after being snubbed from the college football playoff the year before. So I'm very happy for Florida State, and I think Florida State might be good, but at the same time, there's just no fear.
28:43PFT Commenter:The fear is – the fear that Alabama used to – Saban's Alabama teams used to strike in opponents is not there. When you get physically manhandled, like guys were getting blown off the line of scrimmage. They were getting fucking tossed in downfield blocking. That just didn't happen with Nick Saban.
28:59Big Cat:Yeah, it was a physical game from Florida State. They were fun to watch, complete 180 from what we saw at the start of the season last year.
29:06PFT Commenter:One more message for Genius. This is from Jelcic Sturm. He said that, Nick, this is all on Saban. He had a golden opportunity to fix college football but chose to retire, if he had stayed and built a large NIL fund, bought the best team every year, and shoved winning national championships down America's throat, they demand change and Congress would have acted. College football only changed when he made them change to stop him. I love him, but he could have fixed this. Nick Saban actually ruined all of college football.
29:37Big Cat:Well, it's true. Nick Saban did ruin Alabama football by being so good at coaching Alabama football.
29:41PFT Commenter:He made it impossible to live at the standard. The amount of Alabama fans that are going to come out of the woodwork being like, college football just isn't the same anymore. NIL ruined it. Transfer portal ruined it. As if they were still winning, that would be the same tune.
29:56Big Cat:Y 'all ever thought about how weird it is that we sit down every Saturday and we watch 18-year-olds and we scream at them and carry on? That doesn't sit right with me. Are you doing Bush? Let's move on. That EPL, let's watch some soccer. Who is that? Not in them four. Now that's a football team. Who is that? Is that Bush? Some real football. Is that Bush? No, this is James from Alabama. Oh, okay, nice.
30:16PFT Commenter:Thank you for the call, James.
30:17Big Cat:James Fish.
30:19PFT Commenter:Wait, are you a Florida State guy, Zach?
30:22Big Cat:I do like to watch Florida State play football. That's your team, right? If I had to pick a team to ride for, I would have to pick Florida State.
30:29PFT Commenter:Yeah, that's the closest to where you grew up, right? Yeah. Yeah. So did you watch the game?
30:33Big Cat:I did go to – I watched part of the game. I got some reports from on the field. My brother was at the game. They got to storm the field. That was cool. New stadium. Fresh storm. Break it in.
30:42PFT Commenter:love that yeah i mean kids should always storm fuck it it was awesome yeah uh did you go outside
30:48Big Cat:this weekend three days i did i went on some walks we hit some i made some returns it was it's a good target no uh different store okay did you go to the street yeah i hit the street yeah oh hell yeah good street good street all right last big game and then we'll hit everything else
31:09PFT Commenter:the Clemson versus LSU game on Saturday night. First takeaway I had of this is that this is why every single game should be played on campus because it was awesome. And I hate, like, the Syracuse-Tennessee game being played in Atlanta. Just had no juice. South Carolina-Virginia Tech, no juice. Play every game on campus. That's what makes the sport so much fun. Even if we have to sit there for a 20-minute delay while Clemson gets on a bunch of buses, which got to be one of the dumbest traditions of all time.
31:41Big Cat:Yeah, you go to the hill, you get off the bus, you run down the hill, which seems really dangerous.
31:46PFT Commenter:Well, Dabo runs down the hill. Yeah. Then everyone else runs down the hill in the tiny little cannon. I actually have no problem with the running down the hill and touching the rock. The fact that they were showing us all the Clemson players pile into this bus and Clemson fans are like, you don't understand. They all get in the bus and they go around the stadium. It's so fucking cool. No, it's not. That's not cool. The bus, I don't need the bus. I don't care about the bus.
32:10Big Cat:Yeah, especially when it delays the start of a game that I've been waiting all day for. But yeah, LSU's defense. Awesome. Awesome again. Awesome again. They were so bad the last few years. Harold Perkins, I think he's healthy now.
32:21PFT Commenter:Yeah.
32:22Big Cat:He was just like wrecking the entire game plan.
32:24PFT Commenter:Their D-line was incredible. It was such a good game. Kate Klubnick, maybe not. Well, I think he's good. Klubnick will still be fine. Yeah, I think he's a good quarterback. Although the ACC looks a little bit better than everyone thought.
32:37Big Cat:I think Clubnick's going to be a fine quarterback. I think that it was two really good teams playing against each other. I think that Nussmeyer's a little bit better right now, and I think that LSU's defense made the difference. Although LSU got fucked on that touchdown. The touchdown that they took away, I don't know what it catches anymore. I really don't. I understand that the ball shifted a little bit after he caught it, took two steps, went through the end zone, hit the pylon, fell on the ground. I understand the ball moved but that's still a touchdown that looks like a touchdown to me if that's not a touchdown then I don't know what I've been watching
33:11PFT Commenter:I'm happy that didn't decide the game it would have been absolute bullshit LSU's defense was incredible Nussmeyer their running back was awesome Brian Kelly finally gets a monkey off his back in terms of winning week one with LSU and now
33:26Big Cat:he also got trucked on the sideline well he trucked himself I thought the ref ran into him.
33:31PFT Commenter:No, he fell. I thought the ref backpedaled into him. No, he fell.
33:34Big Cat:It was non-contact?
33:35PFT Commenter:Yeah. Then he got up and he started screaming at the ref. He, like, tumbled. It was kind of like a simultaneous he was next to the ref. Yeah, I thought that there was contact. I thought maybe they got tripped up. No, I'm pretty sure he just tumbled and then he was very embarrassed and started screaming at the ref.
33:52Big Cat:That's a good move on his part.
33:53PFT Commenter:Oh, absolutely. You got to maybe stay down a little bit longer, too.
33:56Big Cat:You know how Belichick used to always complain about the fact that football is a billion-dollar industry and we don't have a camera on the sidelines, we don't have a camera on the goal line? Why did we not have a close-up camera of Brian Kelly getting ran over,
34:10PFT Commenter:just eating shit on the sidelines? See, their legs might have gotten tangled, but the ref didn't hit him. Yeah, yeah. The ref didn't hit him at all.
34:16Big Cat:It was all Brian Kelly's fault. He was farther out on the field than the ref. Yeah, I thought they might have gotten twisted up. But there needs to be a better angle of this. I need to see that again. All right, I alluded to it, but I have some more cope, if you'd like. We had the Bama cope. I was just going to say, I think LSU has another great running back in Cade Durham.
34:33PFT Commenter:Yes, awesome, awesome. He just has that look, too, of an LSU. Kind of looks like Clyde Edwards-Zolaire. Yeah. He's a little small, and he's just an absolute beast. That run he made in the first quarter where he was dead to rights and was able to keep his balance and ended up being like a 20-yard run when it was going to be a five-yard loss, he was awesome. All right, you ready for this, Cope? So we have the Alabama Cope on one side of college football is just not the same anymore. Here's my favorite Cope that I saw, again, from Message Board Genius for Clemson. Clemson has the best college football team in America, period.
35:12PFT Commenter:You say, are you stupid or just plain dumb? I'm neither. Clemson is the best college team in America. because other than the military academies, Clemson is the only college football team. Yes, Dabo brought in three players from the portal, three, but look at the roster of LSU, Ohio State, FSU, Oklahoma, et cetera. Their teams are nothing but a team of all-stars assembled from the best players for many teams by what? For decades would be a recruiting violation and tampering, and most would have received the death penalty for the violations. Am I disappointed about losing? Hell yeah, but think about this.
35:46PFT Commenter:How many of the kids that are switching schools at random The Tennessee quarterback is at his third or fourth school. That's not – oh, Aguilar is, yeah. Not because they love the school. They love the money. You can't blame the athlete. Most of them have never had any money. But if the rules are fixed, we are simply watching a minor league NFL, and these are the facts. This is the only college football team. Yep, I like that. This is some awesome, awesome Cope. The only school that still does it the old school way of recruiting.
36:15Big Cat:Well, respect to the military schools. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actually, Navy might be better. But yeah, I like the hand-waving where they're just like, yeah, we have a couple guys that came in through the portal. Yeah, just a couple. But besides those, also, shout out to Dabo's son, Clay. Yeah. It's the third son of Dabo's that is on the team right now, and they've all held. They've been the holder for the team every time. Love that. And he just got a scholarship, which is great, which is important, because you never know. Things happen, didn't know if he was going to be able to afford his tuition, but now that his dad put him on scholarship it's all good yeah so that's that's the clemson line
36:51PFT Commenter:of thinking now they're basically like hey listen we're the only school still playing under the old uh rules which why would you be playing under the old rules yeah it doesn't make it why wouldn't you
37:01Big Cat:go to the transfer portal uh did you stay up afterwards and watch a little bit of utah uh i
37:05PFT Commenter:watched a little utah i also watched cal that lefty freshman quarterback is fucking electric Yes, he is. But yes, Utah, Nico. Nico. I have a take on Nico. Well, yeah, go ahead. I want to hear your take. Should he be a receiver? Oh, my take was different. My take was I actually think Nico made the right call because he's not going to be an NFL quarterback. So he might as well get the money now.
37:26Big Cat:Well, yes. The thing is, he's getting less money now than he would have at Tennessee.
37:31PFT Commenter:Yeah.
37:31Big Cat:He actually ended up losing money by making this move. I think he's very fast. I think he's got great change of direction I think he has no idea how to throw Like an intermediate pass whatsoever
37:44PFT Commenter:Also their defense I mean Utah It was the easiest an offense has ever looked They made it look like it was 7 on 7
37:51Big Cat:Yeah Nico I'm a receiver That's what I'm calling him
37:54PFT Commenter:Alright Notre Dame Miami was awesome Carson Beck Has been taking a lot of shit Has been shit on a lot by Georgia fans Was cool to see him have a big moment Be like hey I fell in love with football again Probably didn't hurt that he got paid a lot of money to go to Miami as well. But that was an awesome game. Actually, other than the fact that Notre Dame got mauled on both lines, I liked CJ Carr. That was his first start on the road, hostile environment. He made some big plays. He made some not great plays. But I feel like if Notre Dame – I'm not going to throw out Notre Dame.
38:30Big Cat:No, I think they're a fine team. I think Carr needs to figure out when he's going to get hit and protect himself a little bit more. It was his first start, yeah. Yeah, his first start. He'll figure that out. I think they're both good teams. I think Miami's going to be for real. I think Notre Dame is probably going to win a shitload of games this year, and they'll be a different-looking team by the end of it.
38:47PFT Commenter:It was also just the perfect Cristobal experience because it was – Cristobal is an incredible recruiter. He is really good on the lines. You saw what Miami was able to do. That drive they had to start the third quarter was just man football. and then at the end of the game he turtled again being like hey we'll leave this up to the we'll leave a 47 yarder up to a kicker and it worked out but that was about to be if that if that kick is missed and the way they played that last sequence yeah oh boy would he been would he been getting
39:20Big Cat:some uh heat today it was a kicker that they didn't even know was going to be their starting kicker until like five days ago and so they're like yeah we'll take our chances we'll roll the dice on this but then at the end at the very end of the game the dogs on the defensive line were like okay we're just going to dominate notre dame's strength which is their offensive line and they did it so i feel like miami is going to be a team that's going to be sticking around and they're listen carson beck looked way better than he did in the past at georgia he was dealing
39:45PFT Commenter:with injuries last year he had not the best o-line in in receivers but uh yeah he looked he looked
39:51Big Cat:good didn't notre dame have a receiver named great house last year wasn't he pretty good i believe so
39:56PFT Commenter:did he play at all uh did jeremiah love get jeremiah love got like fucking they said before
40:01Big Cat:the season they're going to feature him so and then they just didn't give him the ball they didn't until then they started feeding him a little bit at the end because i think i think on the sideline they were like hey you know he's only got six carries right now and so then they fed him a little bit more down the stretch um but i remember great house being a pretty good wide receiver and all they seemed to have besides uh besides love was uh face on yeah is that how you pronounce his name yeah face on that's the bounciest dude i've ever seen he just bounces off
40:28PFT Commenter:people he's awesome uh we we're gonna have to find probably a new heisman pet because that was not i thought they were gonna give the ball to jeremiah love he was trying he was trying to
40:36Big Cat:hurdle everyone yeah every time literally every time he touched the ball he just spammed the
40:41PFT Commenter:hurdle that's what you want out of your heisman pet he's literally trying to know where to go
40:46Big Cat:and he just kept jumping he's willing a heisman moment every yeah every moment's a heisman moment if you look at the heisman trophy that that guy's got two feet on the ground look at the trophy love
40:56PFT Commenter:uh all right other games uh did you guys see that both of diego pavia's brothers got arrested on saturday night in nashville i love that i love that vandy vandy needs like an edge that is a good
41:10Big Cat:edge to have it's pretty tough to get arrested in nashville i want to know what they were they
41:14PFT Commenter:like throwing furniture off ability i think they were just both publicly intoxicated uh but i just i saw that and i was like wow that was uh that like that tells me vandy might be for real in the sec yeah because you need you need a little edge you can't be just same old van you got to stand
41:29Big Cat:out to get arrested on broadway yeah you have to be doing some some wild shit uh all the way back
41:34PFT Commenter:to friday night nebraska wins a nail biter against cincinnati and uh dylan rayola just lived his fantasy that was it was crazy he was the way he came out of the tunnel in in patrick mahomes uh stadium he was living a fantasy he had been cosplaying a fantasy he'd been practicing the
41:53Big Cat:run out doing the moves exactly the same. That must have been really weird for Patrick Mahomes to watch that up front. Yeah. Right? Yeah, the little get the
42:01PFT Commenter:play in hands that he does that is just a straight copy of Patrick Mahomes. But again, God made him this way.
42:08Big Cat:He did every move that Mahomes does when he's running out on the field. It's just bizarre. Yeah. It's very strange.
42:16PFT Commenter:Alright, other games. JMU won. Wisconsin won. We also got our quarterback injured for the third straight year. I think Billy Edwards is going to be okay, but it was just like not again. Max, Penn State, all-time non-cover.
42:27Big Cat:I was so pissed about that. I was so pissed.
42:30PFT Commenter:Not good. Not good.
42:32Big Cat:But, I mean, they're fine. They beat UNLV by 100.
42:35PFT Commenter:Jackson Arnold looked awesome for Auburn running the football, and Auburn looked like they might have a little juice to him this year. And then also Georgia Tech. Shout out to Georgia Tech at Colorado. Not the best coaching by Deion at the end of the game. Georgia Tech, I thought, was cooked. They had three turnovers in the first eight minutes.
42:53Big Cat:So I missed the end of this game, and I bet on Georgia Tech, and I thought I was fucked after the first quarter. Plus, I didn't know that Deion was going to have the Depends tent set up on the sideline, which is very impactful.
43:03PFT Commenter:So the best way to describe it is you remember when I used to play Duggs, and there were times at the end of the games where I would have more timeouts than seconds being able to use them? That was kind of what happened, where it's like, hey, what are you saving it for there's actually no time to even take the timeouts anymore where i'd be like oh look at me i have all three of my timeouts there's seven seconds left it was kind of one of those situations got to clean that up got to clean that up uh tennessee looks like they made the right call although nico made the call but they're going
43:37Big Cat:to be better with aguilar yeah aguilar looked pretty good yeah his deep ball looks nice the defense didn't look that great for tennessee but they took care of business yeah syracuse well
43:46PFT Commenter:they also had, I think they were on their like four string nose tackle by like maybe the third quarter. And it was, it showed. So maybe they'll get a little healthier.
43:54Big Cat:Um, we,
43:55PFT Commenter:what are we looking at for best week to matchups? Best week to matchups, probably Oklahoma versus Michigan. Bryce Underwood, uh, came out, uh, looked decent against New Mexico. Shout out New Mexico's head coach, Jason Eck. Uh, he's the guy who took, uh, Oregon to the rope, to the, to the limit last year with Idaho. Yeah. He's now at New Mexico. He had an awesome trick play to score a touchdown against Michigan. Same guy. He's got a binder on the sideline. He's one of my favorite college coaches. He's a little sloppy, and I mean that with all due respect because I don't want my coach to – like Matt Rule lost too much weight.
44:33PFT Commenter:Yep. Would you agree? I would agree. Matt Rule lost too much weight, but Jason Eck, he's a very good coach. He had Michigan a little bit nervous there for a second. But, yeah, that would probably be the best matchup, Michigan-Oklahol.
44:44Big Cat:Oh, we also have Cy Hawk. Yep. We got the side. Big noon. I'll be there as well. Excited about that. Yeah, that looks like the best ones this weekend.
44:53PFT Commenter:Yeah. Week one was great schedule. I'm happy they loaded the week one up because it was awesome. Did you guys see the storm at Texas Tech that looked like it was the world was ending?
45:04Big Cat:It looked like an atom bomb exploded.
45:06PFT Commenter:Yeah. Maryland might have a quarterback, by the way.
45:09Big Cat:Yeah. It's good. He's a freshman, right?
45:10PFT Commenter:Oh, yes. We should mention. What the fuck, Northwestern? you fucking scumbag pieces of shit did you guys see this story Tulane wanted to wear so it was the 20th anniversary of when the levy broke for Katrina uh I think it was like to the day almost and Tulane requested to wear their all-white jerseys in honoring the the 20th anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina Northwestern said no I didn't see that and then Tulane put the beat down
45:40Big Cat:on him and then Retzlaff yeah then then Retzlaff talked a little shit to the coach after the game But then I saw some of the fans of Northwestern responding to allegations of being soft on Twitter. And they were like, well, what do you expect? We're a bunch of Chicago kids. You think that we're going to go down there into Louisiana? We're going to wear black uniforms? That's unsafe for us. I was like, yeah, no, that's soft. Yes. Yeah. Also, you could wear purple. Yeah, you could do whatever you want.
46:05PFT Commenter:You could wear purple. You could do whatever you want. Purple uniforms. I just would like to think that Ravel was the one who said no. Probably. Yeah. But that's something I wish I had known before. I would have bet Tulane for everything because you can't be a bigger dick than to be like, no, you can't wear these uniforms to honor Katrina.
46:22Big Cat:Ravel probably has a seat from the Superdome. Yeah. He probably bought that. Or a piece of the roof. Yeah, got the single that fell off.
46:32PFT Commenter:Did you guys see Devin Hester Jr., who is Incredible Returned? Did you guys hear the follow-up to that? Nope. That is not Devin Hester's son. His name is Devin Hester Jr.? There are two Devin Hester. Devin Hester, Bears legend, has a son, Devin Hester Jr., who plays college football. And then there's also a Devin Hester Jr. who plays college football at Furman who returned a kick for a touchdown.
46:57Big Cat:Now, do you think he became really good at returning kicks because his name was Devin Hester? Do you think every coach that he's had has been like, we got Devin Hester on our team? It's crazy.
47:06PFT Commenter:I don't understand how this is possible. if you look it's he's not the son of of bears hall of famer devin hester he's a little smaller yeah but it's but also devin hester has a son named devin hester jr where does he play i don't know we got to find that out let me find that out devin hester's hester's son college football oh wait maybe it is devin wait i read this whole thread that it was not devin hester's son we might I just have to cut this whole thing. I'm very confused. All right, so I might have even gotten –
47:40Big Cat:Wait, Devin Hester Jr. returns kick like a boss, but he's not that Devin Hester's son. Yeah, so wait, am I right?
47:45PFT Commenter:I don't know. I think you're right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's not that Devin Hester's son. All right, so AI got me screwed up. Devin Hester. All right, I got Sports Illustrated here, all right. Devin Hester Jr. had returned a kick for Furman University against William & Mary and nearly took it to the house. If you saw Devin Hester Jr.'s returning kicks and jumped to assume that it was the son of the NFL return specialist Devin Hester, you would be forgiven. You would also be mistaken. As it turns out, this Devin Hester Jr. is a different Devin Hester Jr. This is not exactly an easy thing to figure out because the NFL Devin Hester that you are likely more familiar with also has a son named Devin Hester Jr., but that Devin Hester Jr.
48:21PFT Commenter:is still in high school. Ah, it appears to be more focused as a track athlete. He's listed as class of 2028. Meanwhile, Furman's Devin Hester Jr. is a college sophomore and was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee. do you think that Furman's coach knew that he wasn't Devin Hester's son
48:37Big Cat:maybe what are the fucking odds maybe the first time that he saw him he was like oh wait we got Devin Hester Jr. coming for a visit to Furman
48:44PFT Commenter:what are the odds and it would be like it'd be a totally different thing if it was Devin Hester Jr. lays a pancake block everyone's like oh okay whatever it's a kickoff return and it's not Devin Hester's son that's very confusing you know what i'm i'm gonna just say that that they're both as kids
49:03Big Cat:that's how do you think devin hester was aware of this kid before this kickoff return i don't know like do you think he was just scrolling twitter and being like what the fuck well what the fuck's going on yeah what the fuck is my son actually playing for firman that i don't know about my
49:16PFT Commenter:son in my in my high school son in my house or is he on the football field right now i think that
49:21Big Cat:that devin hester jr on firman was probably named after devin hester the return specialist and so You don't think so? He was named after his dad. He's a junior. Yeah, he's named after his dad.
49:32PFT Commenter:He's a junior.
49:33Big Cat:But he was probably, do you think he would have gotten the name Devin Hester Jr. if Devin Hester, the NFL player, wasn't so great? No, it's his dad. I know. His dad is also Devin Hester. But maybe they were like, that's a great name. That guy's really famous too. I'm going to name, that's a good name, Devin Hester. No, I think he's just junior because he's junior.
49:54PFT Commenter:I want to know if he has any older brothers. and he's also 20 years old. Yeah, I was going to say 2006 was his rookie year. Yeah, 20 years old. So unless he was like a big Devin Hester Miami. He was awesome. I know he was, but I think it's more because that's his dad's name.
50:10Big Cat:I just want to – okay, I'll let this go. If you can prove to me that Devin Hester Jr. on Furman is the oldest of all of his brothers. If he has an older brother that wasn't – Born in 2005. that wasn't Devin Jr., then I'm on to something. Right. It says he has two siblings, but it doesn't say whether they're older or younger. We got to find out.
50:35PFT Commenter:Yeah, I think it's probably because his dad. Still crazy. A lot of confusion about Devin Hester. Oh, we need to mention, and we'll talk a little other sports before we do Who's Back of the Week. What a weekend for Lee Corso. So incredible send off for him on game day. It was awesome to see he's a true icon of the sport. I think all of us in this room, even Hank, probably our biggest college football fan, remember watching Lee Corso put on the mascot and being part of game day, making the sport fun. He's like in that Dick Vitale, Bill Walton, like guys who make the sport fun for people. And for him to have this send-off, which was great because it's like you never want to have – he basically said it on air.
51:29PFT Commenter:He's like, I feel like I died and like I'm being eulogized, which is a very cool thing. And then to all his picks he got right, including the only person to pick Florida State. Everyone else picked Alabama, and that was outright. And then all of the schools that he coached for or played for won their game this weekend. that if like there's got it that's there's something up with that and all the favorites
51:52Big Cat:that he picked covered yeah so it was truly like a perfect you want to form he won them all i think they should bring him back as a guest picker at some point this year maybe next week run it back next week bring it back listen i'm gonna i'm gonna keep betting he should just put his picks out there yeah even if he's not on tv i want to follow them the perfect season is going on yeah you can't quit when you when you're perfect after one week right uh your favorite lee corso memory hank man so many yeah probably that time take your time i know you're emotional about probably that time washington state he took the mascot had to put it on crowd went nuts at washington state fired me up yeah i think uh was it at oklahoma where he shot the gun that was pretty cool when he called the kid a midget we called the kid a midget was awesome when he said, fuck it, when he was at Houston.
52:43Big Cat:Yeah.
52:44PFT Commenter:He threw the mascot head. That was great. That was fun. Oh, speaking of which, did you guys see the... Oh, Zach, you want to go grab the dinner? It's here. Did you guys see the Oregon duck lost his head? Yeah. Great job by him to just turn around and get back in there.
52:57Big Cat:You got two moves you can pull if you're the duck at that point. One, scramble around on your hands and knees until you put the head back on. Two, just say, fuck it, I'm out. I don't think you can come back after that. No. If you sprint into the tunnel, you leave your post at the stadium.
53:10PFT Commenter:You can't let kids see you without the head on.
53:13Big Cat:Yeah, but if you lose the head and then you sprint away, I think that's how you have to retire. Let somebody else be puddles. Yeah, yeah. Also, Oregon comes out to free bird this year, which is awesome. That is sick. On a motorcycle. That's really sick. That's really sick.
53:29PFT Commenter:And they made quick work of their opponent. I can't remember who. They played no one. Dante Moore though alright other sports stuff before we get to who's back the week and reminder we have Booger Cam coming up he's going to eat six donuts and then we're going to talk to him more college football do we meet do we need we're doing reminder to everyone we have a show tomorrow as well so we're doing Tuesday Wednesday Friday we're doing full NFL predictions I think last year we did worst case scenario for all of our teams we He did least improved player. We'll do all that tomorrow. And we have Pete Prisco.
54:10PFT Commenter:Do we make anything from Tyreek Hill not being named a captain for the first time since he joined the Dolphins?
54:17Big Cat:I mean, typically you want your captain to be a guy that didn't say I'm done playing football for this team. That's a very fair point. I think you would want a guy, first and foremost, if you're going to be a captain, a guy that wants to play football for your team. Yep. That had something to do with it, I think.
54:32PFT Commenter:PFT, I'm not going to disagree there. Who is the captain? I don't know. Do captains matter? I feel like captains matter in baseball.
54:42Big Cat:Yeah.
54:44PFT Commenter:Hockey. Soccer. Football, there's just too many of them.
54:48Big Cat:Yeah. There's got to be like one per position or one per offense, defense, special teams. Yeah. Not even special teams. What do the captains do on? Coin toss. Well, they do the coin toss, obviously. But I know in like soccer and rugby, they're the only ones that are allowed to talk to the ref. Everything. But everybody talks to every rep. There's so many reps in football. Yeah. I don't think that really matters. Yeah.
55:10PFT Commenter:I'm not a big. And I think like in college football, sometimes there's like 10 captains, which I guess it's cool to say afterwards. Like I was the captain of my team. But yeah, in the NFL, it just feels it feels outdated to be like, hey, here's a captain who needs to motivate you.
55:28Big Cat:to play football yeah listen putting a c on somebody's chest is overrated and that's what max has always told you got it confirm got it got it got it the captains the seaman out there
55:41PFT Commenter:it took me confirm got it confirm got it uh all right any other uh sports things we'll do who's back of the week i like alec ingold being captain that was a good call yeah actually that makes sense that's actually important that he got the recognition there yep so we just uh went back on
56:00Big Cat:our own alec and golden better football player tyree kill right there all right let's do uh
56:05PFT Commenter:who's back of the week and we'll welcome on booger cam where he's going to eat six donuts uh while we do who's back of the week and then we're going to have him on to talk some college football uh before we get to that game time the nfl is back hank can you find me an nfl week one game sure NFL is back tailgates pack stands that buzz before kickoff but getting in nightmare cues price jumps getting logged out mid click all you want is to be there beer in hand losing your voice with the crowd the game time app gives the advantage back to fans it's a hack for unlocking amazing tickets and experiences in a few taps it's incredibly easy to use and game time guarantee means you can trust you'll get 100 % authentic tickets on time and at the best price plus fees are always included so what you see is what you pay i was looking at tickets for vikings at bears monday night prime time 284 dollars to get into soldier okay so go right now with game time get that amazing deal take the guess we're kind of buying nfl tickets with game time download the game time app create an account use code pmt for 20 off your first purchase terms apply again create an account redeem code pmt for 20 off swipe tap ticket go download the game time app today who's back of the week is brought to you by our friends at truly truly unruly tropical twist is a high elk hard seltzer big on flavor big on elk but still light and refreshing and now it's bigger in 24 ounce single serve cans truly unruly is the best drink out there it is fresh fruity tropical tastes orange and pineapple and no stevia taste it's eight percent abv so it's more bang for your buck but it keeps it light and refreshing and won't leave you feeling heavy or sluggish it's the official hard seltzer pardon my take get truly unruly 24 ounce tropical twist at a convenience store near you or go to truly hard seltzer.com and find where to find it okay who's back of the week and uh the big who's back of the week is our good friend booger mcfarlane so he's gonna talk some college ball with us in a second and recap the weekend maybe he'll sprinkle in a little nfl but before he does that booger uh made a mistake he went against the family and the family was tommy fleetwood and all of us betting on tommy fleetwood he said that if tommy fleetwood wins uh this was on sunday before the tour championship uh that he will uh buy my donuts for a month and if he loses i can't get donuts for a month i said you know what i don't need you to buy me the donuts if he wins you got to eat 12 donuts on pmt uh and now booger i told him he can split it up so we're gonna do six now and we'll do six when he comes back on so we get maximum booger eating donuts uh please just everyone who's watching right now all the awls do not screenshot booger looking like a fat ass stuffing shoving donuts in his face i don't want you to do that He's nice enough to do this for us.
59:09PFT Commenter:I don't want you to use this against him when he tries to call me fat online.
59:13Big Cat:He's paying up a bet, which is great. Yeah. I want to know what the breakdown of the donuts is. Like, we got powdered sugar. We got cream pie. What are we into, Booger? So, I kept it simple tonight, baby. America's best. That's what we got.
59:26PFT Commenter:Okay. I thought you were going to go Krispy Kreme. That's a smart veteran move. You know your donuts. Yes. Yes. All right. So, Booger, you're going to eat six donuts while we do who's back of the week, and then we'll talk ball. Do you have any, are you regretting this at all? Are you worried about this? You can eat six. Yeah, I'm a little concerned because it's been a while since I've eaten a donut. I don't know if my body's going to reject the fatness. I tried to prepare for it. I did a nice 30-minute Peloton earlier. I drank like eight bottles of water. Hopefully the hydration will flush the sugar.
59:59So I've done all I can do. Now it's time to perform.
1:00:02Big Cat:Yeah, the preparation's there. Did you plan your previous meals today around the donut eating? Yes, I did have a salad and four chicken wings. So I've tried to prep for this. I'm not sure what I'm going to eat after six donuts. I'll kind of go by how I feel.
1:00:17PFT Commenter:All right, good luck. Four chicken wings is wild, by the way. Who eats four chicken wings? Yeah, you got to do six.
1:00:22Big Cat:You eat six at minimum. The chicken wing numbers are six, 10, 12. You're a child. I ordered six, but speaking of child, I got a 14-year-old who was trying to eat all six. and I had to steal four.
1:00:34PFT Commenter:Okay, okay. All right, that makes more sense. All right, so you stole his. All right, so put yourself on mute. For people who are watching on YouTube, Booger will be picture in a picture eating his donuts while we do Who's Back of the Week, and then we'll talk. And he's going. He's going with one. All right, here we go.
1:00:51Big Cat:Who's Back of the Week, Hank? My Who's Back of the Week is Nico Harrison. Oh. I know we're not. It's a big anti-Nico Harrison podcast, but this kind of made me feel bad for him. He was just out to dinner. A fan walked up, saw him. He was kind of like sitting in the window, and the window was open, so it was somewhat accessible. And a fan walked up, introduced himself, like kind of did a hezy hey, where he's like, oh, nice to meet you. By the way, all the Mavericks fans still fucking hate your guts. Yeah. And then walked away. I felt bad. That he's getting harassed in public? Yeah. Yeah. You should hear the voices, though.
1:01:22Big Cat:Like, if you're going to trade away a guy that is so popular, your best player, the guy that's going to be there for a decade, you have to also have a healthy fear in the back of your head that this could turn into a public
1:01:33PFT Commenter:confrontation at some point i i would imagine yeah i i would imagine nico was like as soon as they got cooper flag like oh they'll forget about this i'll be good i can go i can go back out to
1:01:44Big Cat:he's probably hoping that the micah parsons thing would take some heat off like we're all everyone's doing it yeah i was they just hated me because i was the first yeah the micah parsons things made
1:01:52PFT Commenter:it worse like if you're a dallas fan yeah it actually like made it more painful yeah like you kind of had gotten over it you did get cooper flag and then it's like what do you see the
1:02:02Big Cat:pictures everyone's posting the pictures of micah and luca and it's like how do we lose both these
1:02:06PFT Commenter:guys how do we get both of you have lose both of them but they have uh pagy buckets and cooper flag yep uh and kenny clark all right good who's back i got two okay my first is charlie woods yes
1:02:18Big Cat:Charlie Woods is back. He got a hole-in-one on the third hole at Sawgrass today. Incredible. Acted like it was – I don't know if it was his first hole-in-one ever, but he acted like it wasn't a big deal. Like, hey, that went in. He's like, oh, cool. That's pretty cool. But it was in competition, so Charlie Woods is the future of golf. I think he cemented that today. And then my other who's back of the week is Luis Suarez. You remember Luis Suarez? Yeah. Yeah.
1:02:49PFT Commenter:Luis Suarez. He throws a goal and the cup goes wild.
1:02:53Big Cat:Yep. I just can't get enough. I just can't get enough. He's always been known as being like, he's had the weirdest mouth in soccer. Yeah, he bites people. He used to bite people all the time. His mouth is back. Okay. Because he was playing an MLS game. I don't really know what the league's cup is. I don't really care to find out what the league's cup is. but it was Miami against Seattle, which is like rivalry week, I guess. They were wearing special uniforms. And then there was a fight on the field after the game, and Luis Suarez went up to one of the Seattle staff members, just like an old guy wearing a polo shirt, spat on his face and walked away.
1:03:27Big Cat:Got caught on camera. Listen, I kind of admire Luis Suarez's passion in that he's still so fired up for soccer that he's spitting on an old guy in a Seattle-Miami MLS game. Yeah. Like, that passion's never gone away. He just blacks out. I think that's why he's not retired from soccer. Yeah. Because, like, I got to put this mouth somewhere. Yeah. And once you retire, all the stuff I do with my mouth becomes a felony.
1:03:51PFT Commenter:He gets a pacifier. Yeah. He goes to Obesa and just does a bunch of X.
1:03:54Big Cat:Yeah, that's the only other option for him. But, yeah, it was nice to see that mouth back in action.
1:03:59PFT Commenter:All right. My Who's Back League. I have two as well. Did you guys see LeBron's new ad? Yep. Commercial. Can you find it, Max? Play it for us. Did you see it, Hank? Oh, get ready. to get triggered get ready to get triggered uh it's really it's it's a he's putting it on thick very very thick here it is So this is a new Nike ad.
1:04:52Big Cat:He is the Forever King.
1:04:55PFT Commenter:He's still playing.
1:04:57Big Cat:The Forever King, yeah.
1:04:58PFT Commenter:Also, every rival defeated, he took the crown and kept it. Where's the lie? Steph Curry has the same amount of titles as him. Where's the lie? And he didn't. A lot less finals losses.
1:05:12Big Cat:Yeah. He defeated every rival. I don't understand what's so confusing. Yeah, but then the rival then defeated him two more times. He took the crown and he kept it. three three times he didn't give the crown up yeah he has given the crown many years also we were a majority of years still playing yeah yeah this makes me think he might be yeah was that a was that a shoe commercial i don't know because i don't think it had a shoe in it
1:05:36PFT Commenter:so i actually think it was just a it was like a crown commercial they're selling like it is a
1:05:41Big Cat:crowns i don't know crown so this is his 22nd year right yeah he's gonna play 23 you know that he's
1:05:48PFT Commenter:going to play 23 i think the only reason he's not going to play or he's going to play in other years because chris paul is going to retire he doesn't want to retire the same year as chris paul because
1:05:55Big Cat:chris paul would overshadow his retirement yeah i agree i agree he's got to make sure talk about a
1:06:00PFT Commenter:guy that took the crown and held it yeah chris paul took the crown and held it uh and then my other who's back is shohei otani because they had an interview with his bookie and uh he said his bookie said that he believes that shohei was aware of ebay's uh gambling or borrowing money but it wasn't Shohei betting because the bookie told the story that he was at a Angels game watching Shohei Otani pitch and watching bets come in. Like Ipe was putting in the bets. Right. On like soccer games. Ipe was also at the game, right? I don't know. He probably didn't get to sit in the dugout or maybe he did.
1:06:38Big Cat:It'd be very funny if Shohei was betting on soccer games during baseball games.
1:06:41PFT Commenter:He also said that Ipe was so bad, he let him bet$100 ,000 on a soccer game, which is like no bookie in the world would ever allow that. Right. Like Vegas puts limits on bets. Like bookies aren't going to be like, hey, if this guy wins a soccer game, I owe him $100 ,000. This bookie had the dream client with Ipe. Yeah.
1:07:02Big Cat:Absolute dream.
1:07:03PFT Commenter:Yeah. All right, Zach, finish us off and then we'll get to Booger.
1:07:06Big Cat:My Who's Back of the Week is love because our boy Max is engaged.
1:07:10PFT Commenter:Yeah. Go Max.
1:07:10Big Cat:He did it. Congrats, Max. Max! No, yeah, it was a good weekend, big weekend. Tough timing that I had this planned for months, and then, you know.
1:07:20PFT Commenter:Kyle Schwarber hit four home runs?
1:07:21Big Cat:Well, that was great timing. Yeah, yeah. But the Taylor Swift-Travis Kelsey thing happening the day before was not the best for me, but listen. A lot of people were saying that you weren't even planning on getting engaged, and then you saw that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey got engaged, and you're like, man, love is so cool, I think I got to get bored. Yeah. Engagement is having a moment. Yeah, engagement was having a moment for sure. But yeah, no, got engaged. It's a very scary feeling. Shout out Diamonds Direct. Yeah, shout out Diamonds Direct. They hooked it up. I've been setting this up for months.
1:07:54Big Cat:They made that part very easy. Shout out Diamonds Direct. Yeah, no, it's cool. It's cool. Now we've got to plan a bachelor party.
1:08:01PFT Commenter:Yeah, so are you doing a friend's bachelor party and then a PMT bachelor party?
1:08:06Big Cat:Yeah.
1:08:07PFT Commenter:Are we invited to the Friends bachelor party? What do you want? I would probably assume it's separate. I think you should have like five. Okay. Yeah, let's do that. We'll do a PM. Why don't we do, why don't all.
1:08:18Big Cat:If you're going to do a content bachelor party, you might as well do five.
1:08:21PFT Commenter:Yeah, why don't all five of us plan a bachelor party? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't do that many bachelor parties.
1:08:28Big Cat:We'll do one sick PMT bachelor party. You got to have a high school one. You got to have a college one. Then you got to have a content one and then a production side one.
1:08:39PFT Commenter:And then five PMT ones. Yeah. I think it would be fun if we did a PMT bachelor party. Yeah, no, we should do a PMT bachelor party. We should blow it out. That would be awesome. The boys should go on a quick trip together. Yeah, real quick. I already said that if Kyle Schwaber wins MVP, you're getting a big chunk of that two-year bachelor party. Actually, if Kyle Schwaber wins MVP, your wedding's probably going to be a four-year-old. That was all.
1:09:02Big Cat:When I looked down at my phone after the engagement dinner and I just saw our group chat popping off, it was like, there's one for Schwarber, two, three, four, and then it was just like, all right, you have to propose every day. I haven't proposed since, and he hasn't had four home runs since. Okay. You need to do that. Do your job. Do you know where you want to go? For the bachelor party? Yeah. I don't know. We're going to have to discuss as a group. Australia? Ireland? We just said quick.
1:09:31PFT Commenter:We just say quick. Maybe AWL puts us up in a house. And then only you. And then it's their friends and then you. We can't make it last second. Oh, my God. Those are good guys. Yeah. All right. Congrats, Max. We're very happy for you. All right. And she did say yes. She did say yes. She did say yes. Listen, that was my first question. I said congrats. But did she say yes? Yeah. Yeah.
1:09:59Big Cat:Thank you.
1:09:59PFT Commenter:She said yes.

1:11:22Big Cat:You'll love being able to get your personal favorite game day foods delivered on Uber Eats so you never miss a play. On Saturday, I had a great day of Uber Eats. I got some wings delivered for the early games. The nighttime came, I got two burgers, two cheeseburgers and fries and a root beer all on Uber Eats, the perfect game day snack. When football makes you hungry, get game day deals all season long only on Uber Eats. And now here's Booger McFarland.
1:11:48PFT Commenter:Let's get to our guest, one of our favorite people very very special guest it is booger mcfarland he just finished his six donuts how those went down i'll say this those went down surprisingly quickly and clean i think you've eaten a couple donuts in your day yeah that's the reason i know what the donuts will do to you because i've been there before uh it's it's been years um two things happened just now when i I finished my fourth donut between four and six. I started sweating profusely for some reason. I had to kick the AC on a little bit. Yeah. And I'm starting to feel like a little tingling.
1:12:27Is that normal when you eat a lot of sugar? Yeah, no, that's good.
1:12:30PFT Commenter:That means it's ready for college football. That's a Saturday morning tradition where you get a little sugar high diabetes. Yeah. Yeah, it's close, man. Wow. All right, so you did your six. You're going to do another six later on in the year. That was not hard. it wasn't hard to eating is the never the hard part it's the it's the aftermath and the feeling afterwards and as far i'm sure you know this once you if you do it too many times it's the look like the feeling then the look because you instead of becoming bloated you just become fat
1:13:03Big Cat:and like that's what we can't get to yeah it's also kind of the shame if you eat that many donuts then like an hour later like what what i do to myself right right i never think by the way by By the way, I was listening to the bachelor party ideas. Two cities are the greatest cities for bachelor parties ever. One's Miami and the other one's Las Vegas. Anything else, you're really fooling yourself. Yeah. Yeah. Vegas is fun. Vegas is fun.
1:13:32PFT Commenter:Max, Vegas is fun. Vegas is fun. I like doing bachelor parties where you just – I think the best bachelor parties I've been on have been a cabin in the woods or something where it's like the guys can hang out, especially when you get older and you don't get to see your friends. So maybe Vegas works for us because we see each other all the time. But I like when it's like – because you go to Vegas with like 10 dudes, you're going to get split up. Guys got different things going on. You see each other at dinner, and then it just kind of falls apart. So are we talking like a hangover type bachelor party where we're just going to hang out?
1:14:08PFT Commenter:Tiger, yes. And to get tiger and get drunk and everybody's going to do dumb stuff? Yeah. Are we talking like a real legitimate bachelor party where there's, you know, honey love, white chocolate, cinnamon, diamond? Like, are we going to have those there? Kaelin are donuts?
1:14:21Big Cat:Kaelin. White sprinkles. I mean. All the above. It's a couple different type of bachelor parties. I'm just wondering which type are we going for here?
1:14:33PFT Commenter:That's going to be our. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I want to get a house and have the strippers come to the house and just degrade Max in front of us. Okay. All right. I like it. I like it. All right, Booger. We want to have you on because college football was great this weekend. Saw you all weekend on our TV. You look good in those suits. Let's start with your team. Brian Kelly gets the first big win week one. I'd say this. Was this the biggest win outside of maybe the time they beat? beat Alabama his first year, but this feels like a statement win for Brian Kelly at LSU. What'd you see on Saturday night and how do you feel going forward about your Tigers?
1:15:15So a couple of things. I think that's very astute of you saying it's the biggest win outside of Alabama because it is, because it kind of puts the narrative to bed that BK can't win a big game. He can't win the opener. That's number one. Number two, can we end the debate about who's a real Death Valley. Like, I mean, at some point, if we're going to show up at your house and kick your door down when you take the bus around the stadium and run down the hill and touch the rock and all that stuff, and then we just shut you out in the second half, at some point you got to realize that there's only one Death Valley.
1:15:46And oh, by the way, you get to come see it next year. That's number two. Number three, I think LSU has a defense. And that's something that we've always had, but for like the last three or four years, it just kind of went away. If we'd have had a defense the Jaden Daniels year, we'd have won the national championship. I get it. Ifs and buts were candy and nuts. I get the whole thing. But I think we have a defense this year. They put a lot of money into this team. DBU is back. We got some lockdown corners. Harold Perkins look healthy. And I think that's the biggest takeaway. I think we got the best quarterback in the country, Garrett Nussmeier.
1:16:21He's a great young man. He's a great individual. He's the son of a coach. Doug Nussmeyer, who I think is the Saints OC or quarterback coach. That's his dad. So he's been around the game for a long time. Big win for the Tigers. But as we always say, we got a motto, and we stole this motto. I'm happy to tell you, we stole it. Anybody, anywhere, anytime. That's who we play. It doesn't matter. That's who we play, and I think we continue to prove it each and every year.
1:16:49PFT Commenter:Yeah, that's Pat Hill, one of our favorites.
1:16:51Big Cat:So it was a great, great Saturday for you because obviously the nightcap with LSU, but also what happened earlier in the day. I wish I could have watched that game. There should have been a booger cam during the Alabama-Florida State game. That's what I want. How excited were you? How giddy were you to watch Alabama not just lose but get their teeth kicked in physically? Well, I was more happy for Florida State because I'm living in Tampa. I got a lot of friends that went to Florida State. Derrick Brooks is one of my great friends. I was more happy for them. But it's never a bad day when your rival gets their teeth kicked in.
1:17:25And, you know, a lot of people that went to Alabama, that know somebody that went to Alabama, they claim Alabama. And you got to give Alabama their props. Under Nick Saban, they were the preeminent program in America. They were dominant. And I think everybody, it's like the Kansas City Chiefs. Like, when you win so much, everybody wants to see you get beat. And it's no different, like, with Alabama. I do think they have good players. The most surprising thing, Big Kenny, and you'll love this, like they didn't play with a lot of effort they almost reminded me of like a guys that weren't in shape like they were loafing they didn't run to the ball I mean it was like they just didn't care and now I know that's not the case but it seemed to me that the like the thing that made Alabama really good which was the attention to detail the effort they didn't have and so beyond the fact that your rival lost like I'm concerned if I'm Caleb DeBoer because if you're not putting forth the effort, that means I'm not connecting with you as a coach to get you to play hard.
1:18:25That's just like this show. When PFT shows up, you know you're going to get his best. He might be drunk. He might be hungover. He might be high. But you're going to get the very best he has in that state. There's no question you're going to get his very best. 100%. That's fast.
1:18:42Big Cat:We don't know 100 % of what, but 100 % of whatever I got. When we get off the bus, we're ready to roll. No doubt about it. They weren't ready to roll. You took it right out of my mouth. They were not ready to roll in Tallahassee. And I don't know if you guys saw this, but we could see it in the studio during commercial breaks. Because, like, when they go to commercial, obviously you can't see. They had dudes that are carrying around these huge air conditioners with hoses. And they would stick a hose in each one of the guys that came to the sideline. I'm like, is it not hot in Tuscaloosa? Right.
1:19:13Like, is it not? And they had a dude with, like, a blower blowing them off. Yeah. I'm like, what are we doing here? It just seemed like they weren't prepared for Tallahassee and everything that Tallahassee brought.
1:19:24Big Cat:So how concerned should Kalen DeBoer be about his future at Alabama right now? I know he's got a massive buyout, so that number might be too high. But I know that it's heating up, and the fans are not happy with what he's done, not just in this game, but also going back to last year. Should he be concerned right now? Should he be concerned? No, because I think the buyout is$70 million. But it's more what happens is he may not get fired, but his family's got to live in Tuscaloosa. And I think he started out, what, 4-0? And since then, he's 5-5?
1:19:57PFT Commenter:Yeah. Like, think about that. 5-5, his last 10. Don't quote me on that, but I think I saw that stat somewhere. So, like, he's not going to go anywhere, but when his wife walks in the local grocery store, it's going to be some... You know, when he walks in, you know, I'm assuming he goes to church every once in a while. the pastor might say a prayer for him. Like all these little things start to wear on your family and to wear on your kids because these kids got to go to school. Little buddies are going to be like, hey man, your dad sucks. Like these are the things that happen to coaches that are not necessarily to the level of getting fired, but it bothers the family.
1:20:36So that's what winning does, man. Like winning makes everybody feel good. Losing makes everybody have to take the brunt. Now he's dealt with this for a long time. I'm sure his family's dealt with this for a long time. he understands how to deal with it but unless you know what it means in the sec and i think he's finally getting a taste of it like it's like it's not life and death man but it feels like it yeah like brian kelly brian kelly in baton rouge won 10 games he won 90 won eight and they told him it wasn't good enough like you win 10 at certain schools that put a statue up yeah in baton rouge you got to win a championship and so kaylin deborah is in a and a very unenviable situation.
1:21:15Because unless he wins a national championship, it's not good enough.
1:21:19PFT Commenter:Yeah, and what... Because the shocking part, you saw it too, and you mentioned it, it's Alabama getting blown off the line of scrimmage. It's Alabama getting punked down the downfield blocks. It's Alabama not being able to physically dominate an opponent, which is what they did for 20 years. Is there a fix in season, I know we overreact to week one, but I think it's because of what we're used to with Alabama to see the way they lost. If they lost in a fluke, you could say, oh, okay, well that happens. But the way they got physically dominated, that is so un-Alabama-like. What's the fix? How do they put that back together this year?
1:22:01Two things you control in life is your attitude and your effort. I think you control those two things. Their attitude's got to be better and their efforts got to get a whole hell of a lot better. Like if I'm the coach, I turn the film on and I show everybody that got their ass kicked. I show everybody that wasn't running to the football. Like the, the only way men I think handle things. And I don't know how you guys do things in the studio. Like we close the doors and we talk direct. Like I'm not going to beat around the bush. Hey, PFT, you suck today. Big cat. It wasn't good enough. Like I'm going to tell you directly that it wasn't good enough.
1:22:33That's how you got to talk to young men and you got to close the door and you got to say I wasn't good enough as a coach so yeah like the only way you can fix it you're not going to get dramatically stronger in the next six weeks like I think this I think they're strong enough you got to change your attitude you got to change your effort and it starts with the coaching staff like whatever DeBoer is doing he's not connecting enough with the players because you often hear this about a coach man I'll run through a wall for him yeah run through a wall they won't even run to the ball for him let alone run through a wall Like, so somewhere along the line, he's not getting them to buy into everything that he is trying to instill.
1:23:08That can change, but it's got to, like, your habits have to change. Because if they're doing that on game day, I guarantee they did it at practice.
1:23:16PFT Commenter:So the other side of this, because obviously the story is Alabama, and it's unfair to Florida State. But the story is Alabama because they've been at the top of the college football world for two decades. Is Florida State maybe good? Because that was a hell of a game for them. And they, you know, Thomas Castellano talked shit, backed it up. Mike Norvell, who went through a terrible season last year, gets a huge win to start the season. Like, Florida State could be one of those teams that we look back and we're like, why did we say that they were going to be bad again? The thing about this, Mike Norvell, to my understanding, was offered the Alabama job or offered a chance to interview.
1:23:56He turned it down. Then he goes 2-10. And then in the offseason, he says, I am where I want to be. Thomas Castellano comes out and says, hey, when they come to Tallahassee, Nick Saban is not going to be able to save them. So this is a Florida State team that had no business having any type of swag at all. And Thomas Castellanos, 5 '10", 5 '11", 200 pounds, says, y 'all got to come see me. Think about the level of swag you walk into the locker room when you got a quarterback that shows up like that. Like, it's about mentality. and Florida State has a ton of athletes. Like this is the state of Florida.
1:24:30They got a ton of athletes. They got a mobile quarterback and they got old Gus Malzahn. Like Gus Malzahn fits perfectly down there because as soon as the students were storming the field, did you see the tweet that Gus Malzahn sent out? Yeah. He said it feels like old times, referring to when he used to beat Alabama at Auburn. Like, so now you got an offensive coordinator that talks shit. You got a quarterback that talks stuff. You got a head coach that's kind of got a little swag to him. Florida State may not win the national championship, but they got an attitude, guys, that's different. And when you get 85 guys, however many guys on scholarship, when you get guys with the right attitude showing up to work, man, you can accomplish things.
1:25:12There's no doubt in my mind Alabama's more talented than Florida State, but Florida State showed up with the right attitude and the right effort. They opened up a newly renovated stadium, and they play that way. Can they beat Clemson? They can beat anybody in the ACC. And wouldn't it be something, what, two years after they didn't get into the playoff going 13-0 or 12-0, they get into the playoff this season? To me, that would just be like the right thing for the football guys to do.
1:25:40Big Cat:Yeah, I agree. So if we're looking at one week, just one week of college football, who would be your Heisman after one week? oh man how do you think after one week impact uh john mateer from oklahoma was outstanding love him i mean he was i mean to talk about to go from jackson arnold to john mateer like it it feels like going from like like a a stripper named honey love to bashful like it's it's like it's it's a totally different mindset uh of course i'm biased my guy garrett nussmeyer on a big stage at the fake Death Valley to beat that team in that house. He's not the biggest guy. He doesn't have the strongest arm.
1:26:27I think he's the best anticipation thrower that we've seen in a long time. I think he'll be the first quarterback taken when it's all said and done. So he's got to be up there. I'll tell you who's not up there, and I think we all expect it, or at least Vegas did, is Arch. Yeah. And to me, that may have been the most shocking performance of the weekend. Since you're talking about guys that are there for the Heisman, let's flip it over on the other side. Like, have we ever seen a debut? Can we think about a debut in any sport that went worse? Like, think about that. Think about Tiger Woods when he showed up.
1:27:07Hello, world. Think about LeBron, his first game. Like, all those went great. how many first appearances in any sport can we think that that was just terrible because he was bad guys well now it's not all his fault yeah he was really bad he was you could throw out his his
1:27:22PFT Commenter:uncle uh whatever it was 33 interceptions which we all laugh about but like Peyton Manning basically gave a pass for every quarterback to have a bad first season with the 33 interceptions even though he was still good and moved the ball down the field but you're right like that was that was as bad as bad gets. Are you buying stock in Arch? Because we did a little, before you came on, we pulled the room. I'm still buying stock in him simply because that was probably the hardest place you have to start your career. In the horseshoe, national champions, incredible defense, Matt Patricia can coach defense.
1:28:00PFT Commenter:Like, you can't, it wasn't a cupcake. It was the opposite of a cupcake. So I think I'm going to buy stock in him and think he will figure it out. But people who say that he's just not doesn't have it. I can't really disagree at this point. Well, he doesn't have it yet, but I think he'll get it. So am I buying stock in Arch? Yeah. You know, the most surprising thing about Arch guys is this, is that he's got an uncle that's in the Hall of Fame that's a four-time MVP. He's got another uncle that's a two-time Super Bowl champion that will probably get in the Hall of Fame. He's got a dad who is a legend.
1:28:32Excuse me, a granddad who's a legend and a dad who I think has raised him as good as any father could raise a superstar. And he seemed unprepared for the moment. Like all of that wealth of knowledge around him, he seemed unprepared. Now you can blame the family. You can blame Sarkeesian. But ultimately, it's kind of like we talked about on this podcast. Like it's about your mindset. Like he looked like he wasn't ready. He wasn't accurate. I mean, he couldn't hit the side of a barn on some throws. And I think that was the most surprising thing. Like you would expect coming from that pedigree, he would have showed up ready for the moment because he's been in situations.
1:29:09He's seen he's been in the stand in Super Bowls. He's been on the field probably for Super Bowls. He's been at Tennessee in the midst of one hundred thousand when Peyton was there. Like all those all those things, man. That that was the most surprising thing. But to answer your original question, I would double down on Arch. I would put more money on Arch because I think just because of the pedigree and the worker and what I've heard about him, I think he's going to be phenomenal. Like he's 6 '3", 6 '4", he's 220, he runs 4 '6", and a 40. He looked like a kid that had been swimming in four feet for a long time.
1:29:52And for the first time, mom and dad threw him in the 12 feet and they didn't get in with him. if that makes sense he can swim but he was really nervous being in that deeper water with no life jacket that's what it looked like to me
1:30:08Big Cat:if Texas had scored on that goal line possession where they got stood up at the 1 we would be saying things about Arch we'd be like yeah he didn't play well we'll see how the season goes but we wouldn't be totally burying him if they had just somehow managed to win that game or take it to overtime because it's tied 14-14 the story's a little bit different because they lost. There were some things that I was – I am still also buying stock in them, but there's some stuff that I saw and I was like, well, he's just not a great quarterback yet. I don't know that you can explain as one off. Such as what?
1:30:37Big Cat:Such as what? His accuracy was the main thing. I understand that in his family, his uncles were incredible at processing defenses, right? They could look at the field and know exactly where the ball was going to go, where they were going to look on each play, draw the safety, boom, hit him, he's going to be open. that's stuff that takes time um so i'm not burying him for not being at that level yet but his accuracy was bad when it had to be great and i'm not talking about like perfect throws he missed some very easy throws that i the only thing i can ascribe that to uh besides just like his technique is nerves he might have just been very very nervous in this moment yeah i mean but but doesn't that surprise you like being a manning and being nervous and having been around as much as he's been around his entire, like, to me, that's surprising.
1:31:26Yeah, yeah. Like, this wasn't his first game. Like, he started two games last year. Like, he's played before. He played against Georgia last year. Like, he's been in big moments. And, like, that's no different. Like, I get the horseshoe and all that. That doesn't bother me. But, like, when you're on that field, and I don't want to put him in this category, but you know those looks that Eli used to give us on the sidelines? Yeah, the Manning face. I saw a couple of those from him, and that bothered me.
1:31:53PFT Commenter:Yeah. What about Sunday night, Miami-Notre Dame? Yeah. That was – I said it was the full Cristobal experience because he's a hell of a recruiter, roster builder. And then at the end, almost like the play calling at the end was suspect, very, very nervous. But is Miami a real – like are they a national title type of threat? because it looked like Carson Beck got a little bit of his swagger back. He got a little swagger back. He had a couple of lucky. Like the first touchdown, Notre Dame played a ton of man coverage. He drops back. He throws up a – I'm not going to call it a jump pass, but he threw a ball that the receiver ran under.
1:32:35The one that C.J. Daniels caught was the Odell Beckham catch was unreal. Carson Beck looked like he was a stabilizing factor. Like it was a good first game out. Miami's got a really good defensive line. like Bain and those guys that they get after you. I'm concerned with Miami's ability to run the football. Can Miami challenge Clemson based on what I saw from both of those teams? Yes. I think the ACC is more wide open than we've ever seen. We all thought that Clemson was going to run away with it. Clemson doesn't have a running back. They moved a wide receiver to running back. Clemson's offensive line is not very good.
1:33:10Florida State might be the most physical team in the country. So you add all those together, put it with Miami, do we really know who's going to win the ACC right now? So I think the ACC is as wide open as we ever thought it could be, especially going back before the season, because we all thought Clemson was going to walk away with it. And on a lead course, though, not so fast, my friend, because I do think that Miami, Florida State, Clemson, I think they all are going to have something to say about the ACC when it's all said and done. But I'm not going to say the U is back. Like, I'm tired of using the U is back.
1:33:42They've been trying to come back since 87. So I'm not going to say that you is back. I'll just say I like what I saw from them last night.
1:33:49PFT Commenter:Also, they've been kind of bad. Like, we make the jokes about Texas was, you know, has been a playoff team. Like, Miami has been, you know, they won 10 games. They went 10-2 last year. So they've been building towards this. They've been consistent. Last year, obviously, that loss against Syracuse. In terms of Notre Dame, though, I actually was impressed with CJ Carr. That's a tough place to start your career. obviously had some things he wants back, but he also made some plays where I was like, this kid is going to be good. Did you feel the same way? No doubt. You know, unlike Arch, I thought that CJ went from 4 feet to 12 feet, but when he got into 12 feet, he could doggy paddle.
1:34:27And then throughout the game, not only did he start doggy paddling, he started swimming from side to side. And then he said, you know what? Toward that last drive, he said, I'm going to go all the way down to the end of the pool. So, like, you saw him get better through the game. And, you know, I think Notre Dame's biggest problem is they didn't give the ball to jeremiah love enough like we came into the season saying jeremiah love jadarian price uh 24 and 4. for a while i didn't know if jeremiah love was hurt like he wasn't touching the football that's one thing the second thing that hurt notre dame is they got to get some guys on defense that can rush the passer marcus freeman loves to play a lot of man-to-man and when you play man-to-man and you got these guys running all over the field there's only so long you can cover dion always says hey i can cover for a little bit but i can't cover forever but pass rush has got to get there.
1:35:11And so they couldn't run the ball as well as they should have, and they couldn't rush the passer. Other than that, I think Notre Dame is going to be fine. Their schedule sets up very favorably. They're going to get a couple of – I think they play A &M. They play Arkansas, so I think they should be able to get a couple of good SEC wins. Notre Dame is in great shape. Don't be surprised if you look up Notre Dame is 10-2 or 11-1.
1:35:33Big Cat:Yeah. Booger, how mad were you on Saturday night when they called that touchdown back for LSU? it's you know what it is man it's like okay what's the catch exactly yeah did des catch it i don't know i mean did the guy mel issue catch it i i mean at a certain point i don't know what a catch is i thought so if we use this rule you know how drew brees used to take the snap and jump across the line and as soon as the ball broke the line it was a touchdown yep so if we use that premise when you catch the ball and you cross the line the play should be over it's a touchdown So using, I have no idea how the LSU kid didn't get a touchdown.
1:36:12No idea what's up.
1:36:14Big Cat:Yeah, it was infuriating.
1:36:15PFT Commenter:Do we want to do some NFL talk real quick? Well, I have one last college question before we do a little NFL. Sure. You were in the bunker all weekend. Yes. Every time, halftime, we see Booger, again, look great in your suit. You do look a little fat right now after those six donuts. What other teams or players impressed you week one? because I know we overreact, but it's always just we're excited to have football back. Yeah. John Mateer, Oklahoma. I think he looked the part. He looked really good. Bryce Underwood. Yeah. I wasn't sure what we were going to get out of Bryce Underwood. And I wanted to see him throw the football.
1:36:54Like, we know he's a dual-thread guy, but he threw the football really well. I thought that South Carolina, Lenore Sellers is as advertised.
1:37:04PFT Commenter:Yeah. If he comes out, he continues to improve. He might be the number one pick in the draft. Tennessee. How about Tennessee? How about Nico Iomaliava? Leaves. I don't want to be there. He goes to UCLA. They get hammered by Utah. They suck. In comes Joey Aguilar. Nobody's ever heard of him. And he just lights it up. And dare I say he played better than Nico ever did last year. I love to see stories like that when the guy who's kind of too high and mighty leaves. And in comes the other guy and plays better. that was good I'm trying to think who else who else off the beaten path look good man Auburn look good Jackson Arnold getting a second chance I need to see he look good I need to see a little bit more I'm not a believer yet in Hugh Freeze in Auburn I need to see a little bit more
1:37:53Big Cat:Nico Grematica we got another one how about that I mean it's like 12 of them isn't it I know it's crazy they're all really good you got Bill, Martine and they all got kids and then they've been kicking forever man so that was good it's going to be interesting to see usf plays uh florida this week yep i'm not i'm not saying it's an upset i'm not even saying the game's going to be close i'm just saying it's going to be interesting that's all i'm gonna say
1:38:18PFT Commenter:i like that yeah there's interesting game of the week yeah usf looks awesome i mean they they took it to boise i mean ask boise boise post-gentee didn't didn't look quite the same that to me is
1:38:30Big Cat:Just more fuel to the fact that Ashton Jinty should have been the Heisman Trophy winner last year. We always said that. We've said that from day one. We're running backs are not going to win the Heisman. They made what is called the quarterback award. Well, Travis Hunter. Except Travis Hunter. Yeah, he's pretty good. Yeah, okay.
1:38:45PFT Commenter:Javante Smith, the other, you know, four years ago, five years ago. That's been a minute. Yeah. Want to talk some NFL real quick? Yeah, let's talk a little NFL. We can talk whatever you guys want to talk.
1:38:55Big Cat:Booger, what team are you most excited to watch this year in terms of, like, Something new is cooking up there. You're expecting something different from them. What's one team that you're thinking about and you're just getting amped up, waiting to see what they look like on Sundays? Well, I think it's the Rams. You know, everybody is saying that it's in the NFC, it's Detroit, it's Philly, it's Green Bay. I'm excited for the Rams. Like, the Rams are young. You know, years ago when Raheem Morris got the job in Tampa, he coined a phrase called youngry. We're young and hungry. I like that. Yeah, it's good.
1:39:26I'm going to steal that too.
1:39:27Big Cat:You're old brief right now. Exactly. I think it applies to the Rams. Think about them. Like, they're young. You got Verse. You got the other kid that they drafted. I forget. Is it Fisk? The other kid that they – defensive tackle they drafted. Byron Young. Like, they're really young on defense. And if the old man Matthew Stafford is – if his back can hold up, man, like, they're going to be really good. And think about this. they were one throw away from beating Philly in Philly in the snow last year.
1:40:00PFT Commenter:Yeah. Yeah, they were. Rams are a good team. I'm going to shock you with this one. It's not going to be popular. It's probably not even believable. Oh, boy. But if the Colts get competent quarterback players, I mean, people don't talk about the Colts roster. Chris Ballard has done a really nice job of building a lot of talent. The problem has been the quarterback position. Anthony Richardson has just underperformed and underwhelmed. I don't know if Daniel Jones is ever going to be a superstar. But remember Andy Dalton? If Daniel Jones was Andy Dalton in Indy, how would you feel about Indy? I'd say their playoff team.
1:40:42PFT Commenter:Listen, I'll – That's my point. In that division? Yeah. And I'll throw in there, I think people are not fully rating the move from Gus Bradley to Lou Arumo. because Gus Bradley's defense was as stale as stale could get, and they would get gashed every single weekend. And I think that they have some dudes on defense. I don't hate that call, especially in the AFC South where it's like who knows what you're going to get. The Texans have a banged-up receiving core going into the season. Trevor Lawrence has a big year coming. The Titans are trying to rebuild. I like that call. Yeah, I mean, the Titans are playing a rookie quarterback, and he's going to go through his ups and downs.
1:41:25He doesn't know what he doesn't know. Jacksonville, like we've been waiting on Trevor Lawrence to be the generational guy since, I don't know what, Clemson? And Houston, Houston's defense is going to be top five. Defense is going to be legit. I don't know if they can protect CJ Stroud. I honestly don't know. And have you seen Joe Mixon lately?
1:41:45PFT Commenter:Yeah, no. No one has. So who's running the ball? Nick Chubb? Maybe Damian Pierce? I don't know. nothing against Nick Chubb Nick Chubb is one of my favorite players ever for his perseverance but Nick Chubb he's had a couple of just bad knee injuries and to me it's not if but when so I'm not necessarily buying the Houston Texans especially with no Joe Mixon you trade away Laramie Tonson the offensive line is going to be young and now your quarterback is going to be pressing because we told him that he wasn't good last year so he wants to come out this year and be better the defense is going to be good but I just don't know what the Houston Texans are going to give us.
1:42:25PFT Commenter:I like everything you just said about the Colts, except for the fact that it's still Daniel Jones. You kind of got us there. I got pumped for the Colts for a second, then I was like, wait a second. He's not being greedy. That's a big if.
1:42:37Big Cat:He's like, if he can be Andy Dalton. It's sad that you have to be like, I'm begging for you to just be Andy Dalton. Yeah. If he gets to be Andy, listen. if he can just get close to being a red rifle they got enough talent around it man like if the hey if the foreplay is so good sometimes the sex doesn't really matter like think about that i mean let's be honest if if the foreplay is amazing i mean it's absolutely amazing yeah does i mean are we willing to yeah you're thinking about those donuts again How much are you willing to compromise on this? Would you say, like, if he can be Jimmy Garoppolo?
1:43:21I need Andy Dawson. The good Jimmy. He's called for Andy Dawson. Good Jimmy that went to the Super Bowl that missed Emmanuel Sanders? Yes, I'll take that Jimmy. That Jimmy.
1:43:31PFT Commenter:How worried should I be about the Packers adding Micah Parsons? It's bad. That felt like the Packers were already a really good team, and they just were missing one of those game-changing guys on defense, and Micah Parsons is probably the number one game-changing guy on defense. So talk me off the ledge. They're all in. That's the one thing I keep telling myself. They better win now. I think there's only one team that I would take over Green Bay right now on a neutral field, and that's Philadelphia. Shit. Because I think Philadelphia still has the ability to line up and hit you in the mouth with Saquon Barkley.
1:44:11but if the Packers get home field advantage and you got to go to Green Bay and you got to play up there they're going to be tough to beat because here's the X factor Matt LaFleur is calling the plays if the quarterback is healthy they got a runner they got a bunch of young wide receivers and if that defense led by Michael Parsons Rashawn Gary Devontae Wyatt the kid from the kid Edric Cooper from A &M Quay Walker. They got a bunch of young dudes, man, that they don't know what they don't know. And they are just young and kind of crazy enough that they can go win it all this year. They got to stay healthy.
1:44:52I trust Matt LaFleur as a play caller more than I trust the guy in Detroit, more than I trust the guy in Philadelphia, more than I trust.
1:45:08oh i don't want to say mcveigh but i'm almost willing to say more than i trust mcveigh like nat lafleur to me is that good so green bay if green bay stays healthy man as i always say they're gonna be a tough out like you're gonna have to really beat them uh and beat them the old-fashioned way because they can play any type of game you want they got a good runner they got a good quarterback they got a good receiver let's say the weather is shitty outside they got a really good defense so they can play any type of game you want to play did did you were you shocked
1:45:36PFT Commenter:that dallas did that and do you think that's a good move for dallas was i shocked no because i think it had gotten personal and emotions when emotions become involved like jared jones was a billionaire but at his core he's a human being and he's a human that has emotions and at a certain point he made up in his mind for whatever reason that he wasn't going to pay michael and it's no different than us man like people who are emotional are petty like could he have paid michael sure he just decided not to and then now i gotta i gotta come out and i gotta spin it and we can talk about all the other different things but one of one of my former coaches said this you don't trade away great players good players you can trade away but you don't trade away great players because great players are hall of fame players and they're hard to come by regardless of what they do all All right.
1:46:26Jimmy Johnson said it best. I'm going to treat everybody fairly. I'm not treating everybody equally. OK, so Michael may have been hard to deal with. If he falls asleep in the meeting, wake him up. Hey, Michael, you might want to pay attention to this. It doesn't matter. Like whatever he did. If you look at what he did on the field, there's only one other player that was that started on the trajectory that he did. And that was Reggie White. And so was I shocked? Yes. but Jerry is a human and it got emotional and it got petty and Jerry at the end of the day think about this the one thing that I know bothers Jerry is this is that the three championships he won people that know football said it was Jimmy Johnson and if you watch that documentary it bothers the heck out of him he even says during the documentary I'd pay a lot of money for another championship so I think he wants to do two things he wants to vindicate himself for the Jimmy Johnson trade because Jimmy often says he traded Hershel Walker.
1:47:20So this was his Hershel Walker trade even though they didn't get nearly what they got. This was his chance to say look at what I did as the owner and GM. This is what I did. Let's see if it works. And number two, he wants a championship. I just don't know if Dallas is good enough.
1:47:37PFT Commenter:No. Although Dak does have receivers again and he has been, when he has that second option and George Pickens has to be, has to keep his head on Dak has had very good years I mean if they can't score 40 they're not going to win yeah no you're right
1:47:56Big Cat:so who do you have in the Super Bowl this year Booger who do I have in the Super Bowl if you had forced me to pick today I'm going Buffalo because I just believe at some point it's your time I'm going Buffalo Green Bay in the Super Bowl and you have who winning
1:48:18I think Green Bay does it, man. Based on where we are today, I honestly do. Now, you guys have asked me that, and so now I get to ask you a couple of questions about your team. Big Cat, the Bears. How are we feeling about Caleb Williams, one start, Ben Johnson, everything that's come out of Chicago? How do we feel?
1:48:40PFT Commenter:Okay. I'm excited to watch him play. I'm nervous. uh the one thing i'm excited about is that or i'm excited about a couple different things but ben johnson from everything that i've watched read training camp he is a true culture changer and the bears needed that in the worst way possible so caleb has everything right now he has the play caller he has the offensive line maybe not left tackle we'll figure out how that how that goes He has what could be, and I've been very even-keeled this entire offseason, but there's a chance, would you tell me if I'm crazy for this, there's a chance that the Bears' pass catchers could be an elite unit at the end of the season, like in terms of you got Rome, you got DJ Moore, you got Colson Loveland, you got Cole Komet, you got DeAndre Swift, you got some really good Luther Burden.
1:49:36Like they have all of the, they put all the resources into this being a special group.
1:49:42PFT Commenter:So if Caleb is going to be the guy, it's got to be right. Like he's got to do it. It's got, you got to see it this year. There's no more excuses. Last year was a shit show. This year, it feels like he has everything in front of him to be successful. I think your analysis is spot on. Basically what I heard is this. We got all the ingredients in the kitchen. It's time for him to go make the meal. Right. Right, and I can't answer if he's great or not because I don't know. Last year there was flashes where he was great. There was flashes where he was terrible. And there was a lot of circumstances around that weren't working in his favor.
1:50:15PFT Commenter:Now we got him working in his favor. As for the defense, that's probably more of a concern. I don't know. The pass rush, guys have to step up. There's got to be some guys that take a next step on the defensive line. And the secondary is a little iffy after Jalen Johnson, who's hurt, who's coming in banged up. So we'll see. I do trust Dennis Allen. I don't know if the personnel totally fits what he wants to do, but I'm thinking the Bears are hopefully like an 8 or 9 win team. That would be awesome. Yeah, I think the Bears got an outshot shot at 10 and 7, 9 and 8, somewhere in there. That's about right.
1:50:52PFT, talk to me about these commanders. You trade away probably, I'm not going to say the heart and soul, but a guy who embodied a lot of traits that Dan Quinn wants. You trade away Brian Robinson, and you finally get Terry McLaurin signed. How are we feeling, big guy?
1:51:10Big Cat:Jaden Daniels is so good. That's my analysis. He's awesome. He's awesome at playing football. He can't throw it and catch it, though. Yeah, but so Debo, I think, is going to be a great addition because he does work the underneath. We didn't have a lot of yak coming out from Terry last year. I forget who our leading guy at yards after catch was. but I don't think it was even Terry. I think it was probably, it might have been Deami Brown. I'm not sure, but Debo obviously specializes in that. Having Terry over the top is going to be great. I think, I've watched a lot of Brian Robinson. I like Brian Robinson as a running back.
1:51:42Big Cat:I like him as a person, but he wasn't that dynamic. He was just like, okay, he's going to run up the middle. He'll get you three yards every time. He'll run into some defender's face, and he's like a physical dude. That's kind of what he does, but he wasn't like, he's not a playmaker. I think from what I've heard and what I've seen, Bill, the running back that we got in the sixth round, Bill Krosky-Meritt, he's going to be great. I hope he is. If he stays healthy, I think he'll be awesome. He's more dynamic. But I think the real story of this year is going to be how good the defense plays. Because last year on offense, I think we were 87 % on fourth down, which is insane, right?
1:52:20That's not going to happen again.
1:52:21Big Cat:It's not going to happen again. But we're still going to be – I think we're going to be pretty good on fourth down because we've got – like Jaden is a dynamic playmaker when he gets the ball in his hand, especially in short yardage. So I think we'll still be good. But really, we won't – I hope that we won't have to be that good on fourth down next year because our defense, I'm hoping, is going to come up to like maybe even above average. If we can have a middle-of-the-pack or above-average defense next year, I think – I don't know if it's like Super Bowl ready, but I think we're in the conversation for Super Bowl, which is crazy.
1:52:51I think you're a year away from that because I think right now like there's there's a certain way you have to win like Jayden Daniels has got to be spectacular if he's not spectacular how are you going to win like so like that like that's the way I look at these teams like how many ways can you win if the weather is bad if if if like if whatever is going on if it's an offensive game or defensive game like how many ways can you win and right now the only way that you can win is he's got to be awesome. Now, he has been awesome, and he'll probably continue to be awesome, but can he be awesome for 21 Sundays?
1:53:27Because that's ultimately what it takes. It's going to take 20 or 21 Sundays to win it all. He's got to be awesome.
1:53:32Big Cat:Yeah, and there is the thing about the schedule. We had a very easy schedule last year. That is the truth. If you go through and you look at it, it was last place schedule. Pretty favorable for us. This year, it's night and day. So we've got to play a lot of really good teams this year. So I'm expecting a little bit. I'm going to say 11 wins for the Commanders this season. So one less than last year. But Booger, wait, I think they're going to be a better team, but they're going to only win 11 games this year. I agree. They may be a better team with a lesser record. I think you and I are sharing a brain just because the schedule is going to be tougher.
1:54:07Hey, I think both of you guys are very optimistic. I would love nothing more than to see you two guys in the playoffs. both of you guys meet in the playoffs and you just take the take the part in my take pregame show on the road in washington or at the new soldier field to me that would be absolutely
1:54:24PFT Commenter:awesome yeah we're still we haven't gotten our shovels in the ground yet for the new soldier field we need we still need it we still need arlington heights to get it going all right booger i got one last question for you rowback question rhoback.com promo code take 20 off your first purchase q-zips polos hoodies joggers shorts rowback.com promo code take all right so So it's been about an hour since you ate your six donuts. How are we feeling? Can't wait to have you back on in a few weeks and have you eat another six. Shouldn't have gone against Tommy Fleetwood, but how do you feel? You probably feel great.
1:54:56PFT Commenter:You probably want to eat six more. Well, I was thinking about it. Just so everyone knows, I did have six, and so there are the other six that are still in there. So as you can see, they're still there. I did knock out six. I feel good. The sweats have subsided. I'm not really sure if I'm going to eat anything else. I drink a bottle of water. I think I need to drink about three or four more to see if I can flush the sugar out. I don't want it to absorb. I want it to just kind of do like a pass-through. Overall, I don't know how you do this every Sunday. Saturday. Well, every Saturday. Like this feeling that I feel, you know, like the sweats and the tingling, like I don't know if that's a good feeling or not.
1:55:37Not really sure how you do it. But I also know that I won't be eating six more donuts until later on when we do it. And then after that, I probably won't eat another donut for a couple of years.
1:55:47PFT Commenter:Yeah. A couple of years. Come on. You love the donuts. Donuts are delicious. Donuts is great. Donuts are tremendous. My favorite snack, though, is peanut butter. I could eat. That's not a snack. I like that. Do you eat off the spoon? What are you, a dog? No, I just like peanut butter. Yeah, on a spoon. That's it. Just put it on a spoon and eat it. We just put it in a little Kong toy so that you have something to do?
1:56:07Big Cat:We just give you a jar and then you give it back and it's all cleaned out except for the very end of it. The very end, like the little swirl at the bottom of it. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
1:56:17PFT Commenter:All right, Booger, you're the best. Thank you so much. We can't wait to see you soon for another six donuts. No doubt, man. Enjoy the fellas. Always a good time. Until Saturday morning when I see your next donut review. Hey, do me a favor. Yeah. It's okay to indulge a little bit. To me, you bother me when you put the bacon and the chocolate on top of the bag. That bothers me. That really bothers me. Yeah. Yeah. Those are the good ones. Those are the good ones. I mean, take it easy on those. All right, Booger. Thanks so much.

1:58:00Big Cat:Okay.
1:58:02PFT Commenter:Wrapping up the show. Reminder, we have a show on Wednesday where, as of right now, are we doing a duel? Are we doing a Mount Rushmore duel? What are the standings?
1:58:13Big Cat:I got a question. Yeah. What happened in Friday's Mount Rushmore? What were the final results of that poll?
1:58:18PFT Commenter:Do you have the final results memes?
1:58:20Big Cat:Don't read in that.
1:58:21PFT Commenter:Okay. The final results were you guys finish first. Nice. Me and Hank? Nice. Yep. Got three points. Zach and I finished second. Got two points. And then Max and Memes finished last.
1:58:36Big Cat:Got one point. And what does that bring the total to?
1:58:39PFT Commenter:That brings – do we have the total? Do we have the exact total?
1:58:42Big Cat:If we go through with this, Rushmore, as is – Rushmore is dead forever. A baseline of facts right now. It is dead forever. We can do it. We're just asking for the total. A baseline of facts needs to be established.
1:58:54PFT Commenter:We're just asking for the records. Well, wait.
1:58:57Big Cat:Okay. Can we get to practice? I'm down to talk facts as well. You can't say what we're right about. I'm excited. No, no, no. Max, what was the final score? This is what happened. Max. You guys came in first. No, no, no. We need the final score. We haven't even figured out what the final score was. I was never sent, but I think it's 51-48-48. Oh, we got a duel. We got a duel. We got a duel. Is that a duel? That wouldn't imply. Yeah, because two people are tied for third. We said that if two people are tied for third, that it would be a duel between the two teams. Correct. Should we talk about the facts?
1:59:27Big Cat:You guys keep saying facts. You want to talk about the facts?
1:59:29PFT Commenter:Actually, just so we're correct here, because memes, I think he might have done that intentionally. It's actually 54-48-48. Okay. He said 51-48. What's the difference? That could come into play later, my friend. That's a little foreshadowing. Yeah, no.
1:59:48Big Cat:Let's talk about the facts. Let's talk about the facts. Present me with the facts. What facts as you see them? Last week, we put together a Mount Rushmore that here's what happened. Big Cat and PFT described the exact scenario of how this would go as a duel. You must vote this, this, and this if you want this. Maybe six times. Didn't say a word. Are we doing facts or hyperbole? That is a fact. Six times? You have facts on six times. Okay. You said you were dealing in facts. Yep. All right. Let me continue. Maybe it was four times. Are we facts or not right now? All right. Let me continue. Let me continue.
2:00:25Big Cat:What are we doing? Let me continue. Then Big Cat had the first pick. Hank and PFT had the second pick. Correct. Big Cat and Zach. Big Cat and Zach. Big Cat and Zach selected Dylan Harper over Cooper Flagg.
2:00:39PFT Commenter:What are you talking about, dude? I hate taking people to the airport. I've said it many times. Yes, for sure. You definitely hate that more than helping people move. I honestly, I'm 40, dude.
2:00:51Big Cat:You said there are two clear. Max, I thought you were going to take this in an entirely different direction. No, I'm saying. We're going day by day. Day by day. This is what happened. And me and me stood by and said, okay, I understand. For the good of the show, they want a duel. That's fine. That's fine.
2:01:09PFT Commenter:May I say something?
2:01:10Big Cat:Yes.
2:01:11PFT Commenter:I'm a 40-year-old man, okay? All my friends are grown. All my friends are the same age as me. None of my friends have asked me to move their house for 15 years. I brought this up to you earlier and you started laughing. Other people. Another fact. I could have been laughing. I was happy to see you. You're a funny guy. Other people in my life have asked me for airport trips. Even in the last year, I'm just going off what's relatable to me. Is that not fair, guys? You love driving. I do, but not to the airport. Not to the airport. Okay. Okay. I don't. I don't like driving to the airport. Right. Do you like helping people move?
2:01:52PFT Commenter:Honestly, I can't remember last time I was going to ask, so I wouldn't even know. Okay. I might. I actually might. I might. I don't know. Would you offer me pizza and beer? Let's go. Because then I'd be in.
2:02:02Big Cat:This actually might backfire against Max because he's throwing just everything at the wall instead of targeting and zeroing in on one argument. What I'm saying is that there was obvious collusion. This is a wild accusation to say it's collusion. There was obvious collusion going into the polls on Friday, and Memes and I stood by and were like, you know what? We'll allow this to happen. Let's see how the poll plays out. Let's see how the poll plays out.
2:02:25PFT Commenter:Hey, Kate would like to talk.
2:02:26Big Cat:Yes? I can't control what Big Cat does. If he doesn't pick moving, we are obviously taking moving. That's not colluding. That's not collusion. No, I think what he's saying, I think the collusion part is when I told you guys
2:02:40PFT Commenter:I was going to take the airport trip and you guys take the moving. Oh, that was probably. I don't know. Oh, there we go. There we go. I was not a part of that conversation.
2:02:48Big Cat:Okay. I don't. I don't recall.
2:02:50PFT Commenter:You guys were both in the room when I said that.
2:02:51Big Cat:Obviously, that's what was going on. I knew that's what was going on. Max, I have a point. All these protests are fine, but. This isn't even the protest. No, but traditionally. Oh, this isn't the protest. No. The protest has to be made if you're saying, if you're lobbying accusations of collusion or, hey, you threw that pick, you would typically make that argument during the Mount Rushmore. No, that is what I am saying. That is what I am saying is that I was allowing the collusion to happen for the good of the show, and in good faith, I was allowing this to happen.
2:03:26PFT Commenter:Okay, but can I just say – So we'd like to talk about what happened on Friday. Can I make my opening statement?
2:03:33Big Cat:Well, I don't think Max has even got to his protest yet.
2:03:36PFT Commenter:Oh, yeah, he hasn't got to – but I would like to make an opening statement. and all I care about is the AWLs, and I want to put on the best show possible. Good point. And I care about the AWLs getting a duel. We will get to that. If my love for the AWLs is a crime, lock me the fuck up and throw away the key. Right, Zach? Correct. Zach and I are going to be bunk bed mates in prison, kissing every night on the lips. So we get to Friday. You want to top or bottom? Which bunk you want? I would like to go bottom because I would probably fall off the top. Deal. I'll take the ladder. What about the kissing?
2:04:09PFT Commenter:Don't let me get to Friday because they know how bad it is. Day by day, whatever we got to do, how bad it is. Whatever we got to do. You were even here Friday.
2:04:15Big Cat:Whatever we got to do to survive, right, Zach?
2:04:17PFT Commenter:I agree. You get my back, I get your back. All right, Matt. You got your six. You got my six. If I have to pimp you out. Proceed. So be it. If I have to be like, hey, guys, Zach's got a bunch of holes.
2:04:27Big Cat:He won't let us get to Friday.
2:04:28PFT Commenter:Just don't fuck with us, but you can take any of them. We can find other ways to make money in prison, big guy. But I'm just saying this hypothetical. Let's start other ways, man.
2:04:34Big Cat:There's so many ways. I said I wouldn't do it. I'm about to. No, don't get mad. No, I was 10 seconds away of just playing the video. I'm not going to play the video out of good faith. Well, the video is illegal. I'm not going to play the video out of good faith. But I will talk about what happened in the video. Okay. The poll comes out on Friday.
2:04:49PFT Commenter:If you're going to talk about the video, talk about what the pretenses of the video were. We were taping a video. We were taping a podcast that we were sending to our ghostwriter about the book. that is confidential information that should never be seen. Was this part of the book? Again, you're robbing the AWLs because if you put out the video, then the AWLs will see how the book gets made and they won't buy the book. We want the AWLs to have a great book experience, right, PFT?
2:05:16Big Cat:Well, it's really more about the contract that we have with the publisher. So we could release that tape. Unfortunately, if we did, that would be, I think, like five to ten years in prison. Okay, so I'm going to talk about what happened in that tape. So the poll comes out. PFT and Hank Go out to an easy lead Up to like 60 % Nice job Good job guys
2:05:35PFT Commenter:That pick An hour An hour in Wait a second
2:05:40Big Cat:Wait a second You know what's disgusting About this whole protest You guys just Never let me talk Jesus fucking Christ I said I wasn't Gonna get mad You guys are so Fucking annoying You talk a lot Max You won't let me Fucking talk I've been trying to say Let's get to Friday For the past 20 Fucking minutes All this is a big distraction Big Cat was talking about bunk beds or something
2:06:01PFT Commenter:I don't even know what you were saying We were talking about how we survive in prison Because we love the AWL so much And if it's a crime, lock us up And Zach said he would take the bottom belt He said that he would let me He doesn't want the ladder And I'm allowed to pimp out every single one of his holes
2:06:15Big Cat:We're going to find other ways to make money in prison And what about the kissing? This is what happened, we go up 5 % Big Cat turns and everyone goes, oh shit, we're going to lose Then Hank goes, oh you should do something Big Cat goes, oh, oh, I have an idea. I have an idea. I did not say you should do something. He tweets from – no, true. Big Cat says, I need to do something. Hank goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tweet it, tweet it. Do it, do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then Big Cat tweets from his burner. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're up 5%. He tweets from his burner, retweets himself from his main account, and it flips 10 % in three minutes.
2:06:48Big Cat:I was looking at Big Cat's account. I did not see it recently. And somebody texted Rico Bosco and said that if you don't vote for Team 1, you're a rioter. You're not a rioter. Wrong.
2:06:55PFT Commenter:Wrong. Yeah, right. No, I DM'd him. Wrong. I DM'd the Ryder Hype Circle.
2:07:01Big Cat:So if we continue with this Rushmore as is, this ends Mount Rushmore season forever. Forever. There's no point of doing it during the regular season. Max, I have a question. Can I talk now? Yeah. Okay. In the past, when we've had these disputes about Mount Rushmore season. Can I talk, Max? Yeah, sure. Please let him talk. I never get to fucking talk on this show. It's the best fucking bullshit. Max We have established A pattern on this show We've established a punishment For when you break The sanctity of the poll Yep And you tweet something about the poll Yep Hank himself did it earlier this year Jesus And we And we never lost a You never lost a point for it
2:07:43PFT Commenter:Oh no
2:07:44Big Cat:So do you want to lose a point for it right now You fucking idiot PFT You never lost a point What's the rule What's the rule The rule is that We talked about it What's this? I'm telling you what the rule is. The rule is that if you win, then you get a point deducted.
2:08:05PFT Commenter:I'll go. You know what? I not only will take away. You get an automatic turn. I'm going to take two points away from Zach and I. And I also, you weren't here on Friday, Max. But Zach and I agreed to an eight-month show cause penalty, no Mount Rushmore. So if we do a Mount Rushmore in the middle of February, we are not allowed to participate.
2:08:24Big Cat:We can do this. We can go loophole, loophole, loophole. Or we can go as is and just be like, no, we're going to pretend like nothing on Friday ever happened and we're just going to do a normal duel. Or there's three options that we can do. We can completely forget what happened on Friday and do a duel between me and memes. Hank BFD, which ends Mount Rushmore forever. That ends the entire integrity of this show, I would argue. That's already been gone since Pete's podcast
2:08:56PFT Commenter:This show has high integrity Oh no What would happen if we don't have the integrity Oh my fucking god
2:09:05Big Cat:The integrity of Mount Rushmore was lost Five years ago Hank if you were in my spot right now You would be You would be Fucking insufferable Oh my god You used to cry just because they had a bigger Following than you for no reason
2:09:23PFT Commenter:Well, you're getting mad about Youngstown Bob's following, which is pretty crazy. Youngstown Bob is not me. And a retweet from BigGas. He's a real person. Retweets are not endorsements. And a text of Rico Bosco saying that if all riders... DM. Again, you're wrong. DM. What are we doing? Retweets are not endorsements. It says it in my bio.
2:09:43Big Cat:Retweets aren't a thing anymore.
2:09:44PFT Commenter:I think there's one way to solve it. What?
2:09:45Big Cat:Yes. It's called a repo. We go as our original... You're not saying that there's one way. And the third way is the real way to do it. We go as our original plan As if there wasn't two losing teams That the two of you would duel And the worst person would do the punishment I'm okay with that That's what it was supposed to be That's what it was going to be We did not know what was going to happen At the end of that poll Big Cat colluding should not affect us Do it, Big Cat, do it Big Cat, do it I said yeah, yeah, yeah
2:10:18PFT Commenter:We were talking about the book We were talking about the book You were not talking about the book I said yeah yeah yeah Let's have Young Sal Bob tweet about the book I also
2:10:27Big Cat:Big Guy didn't retweet it No one told him to retweet it He said I have an idea
2:10:34PFT Commenter:Which I should probably be deducted a point He said I have an idea Which I like his ideas The DM with the writers I think is above board That's just all That's writer stuff
2:10:46Big Cat:The look in your face Of the yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Whoa you watch that tape
2:10:51PFT Commenter:That's illegal
2:10:52Big Cat:Yeah I watch the fucking tape You're gonna be in jail
2:10:55PFT Commenter:You're gonna be in jail With me and Zach
2:10:56Big Cat:Those are the three options So Max Those are the three options The three options got very confusing Explain them again I feel like we should all do a duel
2:11:01PFT Commenter:Zach Zach Before we do the three options Rank your holes That you want me to pimp out We're gonna make so much more money In prison Just rank them Rank them
2:11:09Big Cat:There's so many other Actually there's four options Oh The fourth option is The two of you do a duel Because Memes and I are the only one Who didn't do anything wrong here Me and Hank What are we doing
2:11:19PFT Commenter:No, you two do a duel against Big Cat and Zach. No, we finished first. We're not dueling. I think, okay. We go. The Jesus thing. Oh, this is insane. I mean, that is. Why didn't you deduct the point then?
2:11:36Big Cat:Now we're deducting points from something that happened four months ago. That's a good point.
2:11:39PFT Commenter:It's not four months ago.
2:11:40Big Cat:Two months ago. That's a good point.
2:11:41PFT Commenter:How long do you think summer is? It's a long time. How long have you been golfing?
2:11:45Big Cat:It was in July. It was actually like a month. You guys said we're going to lose You saw that you were going to lose And then you just changed the entire game Wait no we were not going to lose I didn't do anything We were in first place You saw that you were going to lose the season of Mount Rushmore I didn't see anything I had a good We've come back We came back last week Yeah yeah yeah yeah Do it Yeah yeah yeah yeah He said I have a plan I didn't know what the plan was If he said what his plan was was illegal I would have said no Because I respect the safety of Mount Rushmore He did not say Watch the clip Play the video.
2:12:18Big Cat:He said, I have an idea.
2:12:19PFT Commenter:I'm a rogue actor.
2:12:20Big Cat:He said, I have an idea. I did not. He did not say what he was going to do in the video that you're saying. And I was looking out for the AWS. That's also incorrect. He said, I have an idea. Should we play the video? I have the video. No, we can't play the video. Okay. All right. All right. Good. Because that just shows your guilt. More than anything, I'd love to play the video. That shows your guilt.
2:12:38PFT Commenter:We can't. All right. So, Hank and PFT, you guys want to duel? I mean This seems like you're just
2:12:48Big Cat:You're tucking tail You kind of just fucked us
2:12:51PFT Commenter:Then I'll deduct points and you guys duel We did nothing We did nothing wrong
2:12:57Big Cat:Why are we getting put in a situation To do a punishment For no reason For no reason The way the voters voted Yes By completely manipulating the polls And you know that you manipulated the polls. It's not on us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He said, I have a plan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I have an idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can, like, you know what you did. I didn't do anything. And if you were in my spot, you would be doing the same thing tenfold. I did not do anything. Tenfold. If you two do a duel against us two, there's no Rushmore anymore. It means nothing.
2:13:38Big Cat:Okay. Why? Because then you guys have millions and millions of followers. Max. You can do whatever you want. Max, I will. You can make it whatever you want. I will. Which means that if this is a 50-50 duel between us and you, and we lose, it's like the biggest controversy in the history of all of internet.
2:14:03Big Cat:I told Shane I wasn't going to get mad, and I actually think I'm doing a pretty good job. Yeah, you're doing great. Max, what if I told you I'd be willing to accept doing a duel against Hank again for the second year in a row But I would have a chance What about your followers' arguments that then hurts me? Because I'm going against PFT But you won't tweet the poll and say vote for this and vote for this I didn't do that, I never did that Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah He didn't say what the plan was You knew what the plan was No, I didn't No one knew the plan This is insane if you don't think you know what the plan was.
2:14:39Big Cat:Yeah, he had an idea. The idea was the Ryder hype circle. Was to manipulate the polls. That was the idea. Big Cat said, I have an idea. And Hank, what's your job? You're executive producer? You guys started debating what the punishment would be. Fact or fiction. You guys started debating what the punishment would be. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
2:14:54PFT Commenter:All right. What if we did a duel, Max and Memes versus PFT and Hank, and if Max and Memes lose, Zach and I will do the punishment with you?
2:15:12PFT Commenter:you know i'm offering it obviously i got involved i don't think i should be uh punished for loving the awls and wanting a duel but again it seems like that's a crime in max's eyes he hates it we had a plan for a duel i don't know i don't know why you just forgot that we had a duel in
2:15:31Big Cat:place i have a question if uh like we talked about this that if there wasn't two final teams we were going to do a duel between the last place players uh if we always had that if it's a duel between myself and hank and max and memes what assurances do we have that you're not going to
2:15:48PFT Commenter:rig this poll i'm not going to touch it so also you were you guys were all in on me rigging you
2:15:53Big Cat:guys are the only i had no idea what the idea was don't do that i have no idea what the idea was Like, we should just go through with what the poll was about to do. It was going to be Hank versus BFT. To be clear, that's not necessarily true. I was never in favor of rigging the poll. In fact, when I found out what happened, my first, I think my reaction was like, Big Cat and Zach should be in the duel too. That was your reaction. But then Hank said, no, we'll give him a one-point deduction. Because Big Cat was like, I'm not doing that if I'm in the duel. And then Hank says, no, no, no, you won't be in the duel.
2:16:26Big Cat:That's true. You won't be in the duel. That's what happened Hank goes no no no you won't be in the duel You won't be in the duel just do it You're like no minus one point Minus one point it'll just be us Then I went along with it because I was like Well that means that I might not have to do the punishment I forgot you gave me immunity Hank Hank It was a tag team between Big Cat and Hank Being like let's rig this thing No no no no no That's my fucking guide for life I have made Made a career off Big Cat pushing him to pursue his ideas. He has good ideas. Yeah. I didn't know what this one was. I wish I did in hindsight.
2:17:06Big Cat:That's true.
2:17:06PFT Commenter:He's an ideas guy. I trust him, whatever he says. Fuck it. I'll do the duel with Hank.
2:17:11Big Cat:Yeah, I'll do a duel. I didn't steal it. That's the integrity play is to go through with what it was.
2:17:16PFT Commenter:Well, it's just a shame that the pole got rigged because it definitely could have switched. I gave him fair options.
2:17:22Big Cat:It's also just a real shame that Max is just going to go down history as an all-time whiner. But we'll do it.
2:17:28PFT Commenter:This is what it was supposed to be. But I did give a fair option there that we would do the duel. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with that. We're the only one.
2:17:39Big Cat:I'm okay with that. No. You guys. Max, take a lap. No, no, no. Think about it. No, no, no. I think I didn't. Your brain's going too fast right now, Max. The four of us should have an advantage somehow in this duel because they should have lost.
2:17:57PFT Commenter:Young Stone Bob could tweet about it. No. Hank and I will do the duel. I think... Yeah, let's duel. What do you got, Max? Use that brain. Use that brain. Deep breath. What if we... You got to take a couple deep breaths.
2:18:16Big Cat:What if we do a 2v2v2 and if... The rule. No. No, what am I trying to think here? What am I trying to think? There's just nothing there right now. It's okay. You're upset. I think that they're – I want to do the duel, but I want to have an advantage of winning without 100 % winning.
2:18:35PFT Commenter:Well, why don't you do the duel, and we can come up with a secondary punishment if you guys lose that's less severe. We still got a lottery ball for the punishment. We could come up with – why don't we come up with punishments right now?
2:18:53Big Cat:I'm in. I'm also going to just do the duel with PFT. I didn't realize this was such a. Yeah, I'm down to. Or I forgot you gave me immunity. Did you remember? Hank and I could do a one man, one V2 duel. I didn't know what you did at the time. Against Max and Memes. I go. I go. And then Hank goes. And then we both go together against them. And if we sweep them all three times, we beat them. Oh, that would be good. Then they lose. That would be good. But if you beat us even once, then me and Hank lose. And now we have to duel each other. Okay. So that would be...
2:19:27PFT Commenter:What show would that be? We're going to do Wednesday duel, and then we could Friday single duel if we needed to. I like that idea. Okay.
2:19:37Big Cat:Yeah, so Wednesday will be me against Max and Memes, Hank against Max and Memes, me and Hank together against Max and Memes. Only way that they have to do the punishment is if we go three for three. Three for three.
2:19:50PFT Commenter:And if you have to do the punishment, I will do the punishment with you as my punishment. That's what I was trying to get to. That's what I was trying to get to.
2:19:59Big Cat:And then, Max, on Friday's show, do you want to duel memes? If we lose? Yeah, to see which one of you two has to take on the punishment. No, you guys just do the punishment with us.
2:20:10PFT Commenter:Yeah. Zach, will you be okay with – Zach, you're the most innocent person out of everything here.
2:20:17Big Cat:So if they lose, we do it, right? But if they win, we don't do it. Right. Okay. But we have more of a chance of winning. They have to sweep it. Yeah. This is fair. This is what I was trying to come to in my head. It was Max so hard. But I wasn't able to get to it. Thank you for helping me land that play. I was reading a great idea. I almost said land that boat.
2:20:34PFT Commenter:All right. So do we all feel comfortable with where we're at? Yeah, no. This feels good. I think this is good. Just to recap. This is good. There's going to be a duel on Wednesday's show. It's going to be PFT versus Max. Is that what you want to do? The setup? Yeah, we could do that. Me versus Max. And then Hank versus memes. Yep. And then 2v2. Yep. And then PFT and Hank have to sweep to win. And if Max and memes lose and have to do the punishment, I will join them and Zach will join them in the punishment as punishment for malfeasance on Friday, even though Hank gave us a tweet. I have a question.
2:21:08Big Cat:Can I, before I officially agree. Left hand up. How do I, PFT has the most followers out of the four of us. No, no, no, no. It's back to regular rules. No retweets, no likes, nothing. The winding allegations. Pug gets to decide if anything. Correct. Okay.
2:21:26PFT Commenter:Any type of tomfoolery, immediate loss.
2:21:30Big Cat:I just needed to make sure that was stated.
2:21:33PFT Commenter:You're acting like we did a whole Mount Rushmore season clean. So Youngstown Bob fired off a tweet. What are you going to do? You can't control him. He's got a loose tongue, that guy. Yeah.
2:21:42Big Cat:I thought for sure you were going to have him call in and say that he tweeted it.
2:21:46PFT Commenter:No, of course I tweeted it. What? I tweeted it. I DMed the riders. I colluded with the first pick. Again, the only crime I have here is that I love the AWLs and I wanted a duel. And we have a duel. And we have a duel. And justify the means. Everything I did, even though I'm now up for punishment, I'm okay with it because I love the AWLs. I wanted them to see a duel. Duel up. All right. So the duel will happen on Wednesday's show. Zach and I will come up with the topics. A reminder for the duel, it is off the dome. So it's no computer, no phone. We say a topic and you do it. I'm ready. You're going to have to be Hank.
2:22:21PFT Commenter:Yeah. And it won't be. It's not going to be like, you know, biggest underdog wins ever. You know what I mean? Like something that's like you got to like actually look up like greatest calls in sports history. It's going to be pretty straightforward. Duel. Okay. Let's rip it. All right. Before we do lottery balls, our pug is back. Back from Greece. Back from his honeymoon. Pug, I screwed up the time zones today. The podcast is going to be released on YouTube at 6 p.m. Eastern, correct? 6 a.m. 6 a.m. Eastern. What the fuck? I screwed that up so bad today. It's because the clock's changed. 6 a.m.
2:23:03PFT Commenter:Eastern, right? Is the podcast going to be released? Yeah. On YouTube. So 5 a.m. Central. Yes, 5 Central. 5 Central. That will be all football season. All right.
2:23:12Big Cat:Yep, went to Greece on the honeymoon. It was awesome. Got some gifts for the boys. I'll, uh...
2:23:17PFT Commenter:Opa!
2:23:22Big Cat:Big Cat got you a little, uh, Minotaur bobblehead. Pretty sick. Oh, hell yes!
2:23:27PFT Commenter:Wait, there might...
2:23:29Big Cat:Oh, shit, my bobblehead collection's... Still wrapped up, but... That's sick. Wait, bring it in here, Zach. Look at that guy. Oh, that's awesome. Go Bulls. Bulls are back.
2:23:40PFT Commenter:Go right next to the Pope and the...
2:23:42Big Cat:Hawaiian leader.
2:23:44PFT Commenter:Here, give it to Shane. Shane, go bring it. Bring it to Bobblehead.
2:23:48Big Cat:PFT, I got you a Greek mini guitar. Pretty cool. Oh, hell yeah. Like a ukulele.

2:24:00Big Cat:I followed the trends on some past. Thank you, Pug. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, it's like a little ukulele. That's the best gift I've ever gotten. I have an actual name of it. What a nice gift. It's called a bazooki. Holy shit. That's awesome. Thank you, Pug. Did you lose the card? What? Where's the cart?
2:24:15PFT Commenter:Oh, what's the cart? Oh, no. I got the cart right here. Of course.
2:24:20Big Cat:For Max, he is an Italian man, so every good Italian man needs olive oil. So hook the boy up.
