| 0:00.0 | It is Monday, November 17th, a victory Monday, which these are getting fucking boring, Chris. |
| 0:07.2 | Yeah, victory Monday. Well, it's funny because like you two are both Browns fans. |
| 0:10.3 | So you kind of need this for the full sanity run. |
| 0:13.1 | Like could you imagine? |
| 0:14.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:14.9 | Like I'm just saying, like could you imagine a world where you and Pat were Browns fans and Penn State fans. Oh, buddy. It would be a bad, bad, bad deal. Yeah. It's funny, coming back for the Browns game, that's what Cam was talking about. He was like, man, thank God for the Buckeyes. Because it wasn't for them, every team, I mean, from the Guardians and the Indians are good, but they just, they always let you down at the end. |
| 0:38.6 | The Browns being awful. I mean, he's an NBA guy. The Cavs, obviously, with the whole LeBron debacle, he goes to Miami, and they're better, but they still aren't. Yeah, they're a good ball team now, but yeah, like the teams that like will not achieve the ultimate goal. Like, here we go. Guardians fans, I love you the goal for guardians fans is yeah maybe the dreams to win a title but the goal we do a force to make the playoffs from the division like in basketball it's like it would be a successful year if we make it out of the second you know second round of the playoffs it's like okay well like and even the blue jackets hockey team here i don't know i don't know i'm i don't know shit about them. Well, they're they're pretty much not good every fucking year. |
| 1:13.3 | Okay. |
| 1:13.5 | Every time we have good players, we trade away. It's honestly, they're the Indians of fucking the NHL. Fair. But no, victory. I will never dislike a victory Monday. But it's just getting boring at this. Right. Well, how they're winning is is boring. about to ask they're the best team in the country and they they prove that and week out. So we got a bunch to discuss today, obviously a full slate of college football. The SEC proved once again what I've been saying for over a month, almost two months now, it's not a good conference. It is not a good conference. I mean, from A&M, just getting boat raced by South Carolina in the first half. And I know they came back in one. The team down by 27 points in SEC play was 0,0 and 286. Yeah. Until A&M pulls off the comeback. Shout out Shane Beamer for choking on that massive cock that is an Aggie. Holy shit. Someone said that he went into the locker room at halftime. it did his little TikTok to answer the lights and then said, let's go back out there. |
| 2:03.5 | Because they thought they won the game. |
| 2:04.7 | I thought they won the game. |
| 2:05.8 | Oh, dude. |
| 2:06.1 | I was for sure they were going to win. No way you could give up a 27 point lead. But A&M got it done. And you know what? in a world of college football where teams like Bama go out and lose to a bad Oklahoma team |
| 2:16.3 | that now they're going to try to tout as a good Oklahoma team. |
| 2:20.7 | A&M found a way to win. Yeah. And then Georgia went belt ass on Texas. Texas is not. I mean, they're out. Texas is out. Bye-bye, Texas. I'm preseason number one team in the country. We should not make the playoffs. And that's where we are in Here we go. Is this counted as a good win for Georgia? Huh. Because it's like that's the SEC thing. Like the ESP and they did Nolovsky. It's like, well, Ohio State hasn't played anybody. And like, and then like if Dan talks about Georgia, they'd say, oh, they beat a good Texas team. It's like, can you have it both ways. |
| 2:51.2 | No, you can't. |
| 2:52.2 | You can't. |
| 2:52.5 | I don't think Texas is a great football team, but they're certainly not a bad football team. That's what the SEC is right now. It's a bunch of good football teams, not great. And that's the only conversation I've had. I'm not when I say the SEC is ass I'm not saying they're they're all bad football |
| 3:06.4 | teams I'm saying they don't have a great team yeah they have they have none of the top |
| 3:09.9 | end teams and also their middle is a little more doughy than that they've been previously. Yeah. And I mean, here a week ago, you'd say Alabama probably is the best team in the SEC because A&M's defense sucks. They give up 30 points to South Carolina. So just proving what I've said all along about their defense. |
| 3:25.0 | And then Bama lays an egg. |
| 3:26.0 | And now you're looking at it. |
