| 0:00.0 | All right, 59 to 10. You guys don't want to hear about it. I don't really want to talk about the game itself. I'm sure we'll get into that a little bit, but quite frankly I've watched it three times now and don't need to really delve into it. We're here to talk about what the |
| 0:14.6 | hell is wrong with the program right now. How do you even start trying to fix what's |
| 0:18.8 | wrong with the program and Willie Taggart's comments today during his Monday press conference and whether you guys like the way that that resonated whether Chris and I like that so |
| 0:27.8 | That's gonna be today's episode of the Noles 24-7 podcast. This is Brendan Sinone |
| 0:31.6 | Chris need joining me as always. |

| 1:27.0 | when it gets tough and yeah, that showed. It showed on the field. |
| 1:31.0 | Guys throwing punches, getting themselves kicked out, guys quitting on the field guys throwing punches getting themselves kicked out guys quitting on the field you know you get down 14 nothing you roll over play dead you come out of locker room give up an easy touchdown game over |
