Welcome to your instant reaction for the first freaking college football game of the season.

We are Andy and Ari on 3 presented, of course, by BetMGM.

And Ari, I know how happy you are.

And not just because you took a one game lead in our picks contest for the season,

because you did pick Iowa State to win this game.

I know why you're happy. I watch this

game and thought, Ari is going to be so delighted at the way this is turned out. He's going to

love Matt Campbell. Matt Campbell is going to be his favorite coach. Ari, when he sent the offense

back out on fourth and three from the Kansas State 16, what sort of sound did you make? I don't want to, is that appropriate? Like, I don't know. Like, do you want to know what sound I made? Because they called time out and they took the offense off the field. I thought maybe they were just, you know, and I thought they were going to. I was sure. Yeah, I was sure after they decided, after they tried to get them to jump off sides, I was like, oh, crap, they're going to kick the field goal and here we go.

Nope.

God, I got to say, I know we're breaking down the game.

It feels so freaking good to be back talking about football with you live, you know, so happy to see the chat's bump and we're all fired up.

That's like, are we in the point in football, though, where that's even not a bold call, the correct call? Like, do you really think going up six with two minutes left and giving another team that just, you know, hit a few wide open touchdowns on you, two minutes to go down the field to win the game? Like, you want to win the, if you're, what's, what's the higher likelihood? Getting three yards and taking knees or kicking, making the field goal. Well, and then kicking it off and keep the game. Yeah. Like it is the field is not a guarantee on that field on that day. Because like in 2005, everyone's kicking the field goal, right? Like have we matured as a college football coaching community

in knowing that like,

of course you go for it there.

You know what I think is just great more than anything

is not only they did it,

but when it pays off,

it makes,

I can't even imagine the importance that it has in permeating through the locker room.

You have a foreign flight.

It's going to look like the one from Wolf of Wall Street, you know, hopefully not completely like it.
