Oh, tough, tough start with the...

It wouldn't be...

That wasn't me.

It wouldn't be...

It would not be another edition of Almost Football if as soon as I hit, start recording, a microwave starts going off in the background.

Oh, good Lord. Welcome, welcome, welcome into almost football,

the classiest show on the internet, sponsored by Fandual. We love the lovely people at Fandual.

Believe it or not, we are sponsored. It is brought to us by the lovely people at Fanduel.

I'll be honest,

FanDuel,

it's a good thing they're sponsored this because we were, we gave, we gave the cash to Fandual this weekend. We, we were given, it was a mutual trade this weekend. You know, they were like, hey, almost football, here's, here's yours. and then you're just going to give it right back.

They know better.

Maybe everyone's technically sponsored by Fandall in that way.

Maybe... football. Here's yours. And then you're just going to give it right back. They know better. Maybe everyone's technically sponsored by Fandall in that way. Maybe that's how this all works. You know, they'll sponsor any show because they know that you're just going to sponsor them back. It's that simple. They actually direct deposit right into our Fandul accounts. Yeah, they're like, it goes right back to them. Yeah, they'll give it to us. Like, we know you're a bunch of dumb donkeys.

We're going to give you a thousand dollars in your Fandul account.

And you're not going to win a single penny of it.

We know you have no chance of actually picking the right games.

But yeah, this is maybe my favorite episode of Almost Football already, because we have Festivus coming up. This is the Christmas special of Almost Football, and Festivus, as you know, begins with the airing of grievances, and we will be airing the grievances here in a little bit. But first, we did have playoff games this weekend. We have to talk about them. Some of them more enjoyable than others. Unless, I think, Zach, you just hated all of them. You didn't like a single one of the games. You just were a grunt. You decided just, I'm going to be grumpy all weekend. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I just, you know, there just ain't 12 teams that can win a national championship. And I think for the second straight year, it's kind of glaring on that first weekend. I'm like, oh, boy, there's a, there's a, there is a gap. Okay. Do you think there's 16 teams or 24 teams that can win? No. Okay. That's, that's, that's, that's, it's no way moving it like just moving it to 16 and making the gap

between these games these the seating in these games even bigger is going to help there's just no way

I don't want to like it's still like you still get to watch playoff football it's awesome like

between those games and then watching Montana, Montana State and in a semi-final,

like seeing Villanova, you know, they got beat by Illinois State.
