The P.B.P. Voices of Baseball is a podcast about the art and craft of play by play and we're in the middle of an amazing season.

Catch up on episodes with Joe Buck, Joe Davis, Pat Hughes, and more, and learn along with me Matt Spiegel how the job is done.

It's not just home run Bryce Harper and the Philly's League to really do it justice.

You got to widen the lens. What does this home run mean?

The P.B.P. Voices of Baseball. I bring you the people who bring you the game, listen on the Odyssey app, or wherever you get your podcasts.

The second game, it's a game I love. It's a game I love. The minute it came out, and I got to tell you something, and this is a theme, and it's something I'm going to do on my show a little bit later today.

I'm taping Wednesday, Tuesday morning. These bowl games are becoming ridiculous when you start looking at who's not playing Liberty Bowl Wednesday, Kansas versus Arkansas, and Arkansas is laying a flat three.

So let's start out with this. Who wants to be here more? Who the fuck do you think this Kansas all the way? Kansas is a program that rose out of a coffin.

Life holds got him cooking, want to be here, right? Now Arkansas, SEC West, a lot of hype started ranked season did not go the way they wanted just did not.

Sam Pittman fires the DC, they go get the aforementioned Travis Williams, but when I tell you about Arkansas's portal issues, holy shit.

First of all, you lose arguably your best L line in their starting center gone. You lose three of the top four wide receivers you have, including Sanders, who's an absolute stud.

Okay, so we're down there. Pretty sure the starting tight end is gone. I don't know who KJ Jefferson's throwing to you go to the defense. Well, Catalan's been out the whole year, but he ain't coming back for the game. So gone, top corner gone, couple great linebackers, including the amazingly named bumper pool, but they're down their top two linebackers.

And a couple D linemen have opted out or preparing for the for the league. I mean, you're talking about an Arkansas defense down six starters, and they were horrendous anyways.

Now I look at Kansas. I go, okay, they're going to play both Cubes and Daniels and Jason Bean.

Their offense is just look, I hate Kansas, but they were also the first college big game that we had and we hit it.

Um, light pole doesn't amazing job. The pre snap candy, the pre snap motion, the disguising of what they're doing and the amount of mental processing that is going to be had to be done by inexperienced razor back players. I don't know how you do it. I don't all year in the big 12. I watch Kansas.

Full veteran teams. You know, think about this. Think about it in your line of work, whatever you do. It doesn't matter how much training you have when you go on the job at stress, your first few days at work, stress, your first few years, maybe you're in an apprenticeship, maybe you're in a residency, maybe you are, you know, whatever it is, you're a big difference between being a junior partner and a senior partner in the name.

Partner, right? These Arkansas defenders have never played any amount of live game action, much less never been responsible to go out there and start and play 50 60 70 or hell in the case of Kansas, maybe 80 snaps.

And light pole is going to punish them. It is just a, it is a offensive machine at Kansas. And there's no one player to take away because everybody hurts you. There's no one receiver to take away. Hell, there's no one quarterback to take away.

I, I just, I love Kansas in this game. And Kansas is, is the big game bet. I'm going to put the undefeated record on the line. Kansas is the big game bet. It's ironic how it works, isn't it?

Team, I hate their guts, but they're going to represent two big game bets. I think they pulled here more motivation. If you're Arkansas, you want to forget this year, you want to move towards 23.

You've, you've already openly had what 10% of your locker room basically go. We don't give a fuck. We're out.
