| 0:48.3 | I'm David Ubin, and I see those I see whites, LSU top three uniforms in the country. |
| 0:53.3 | I think so. I'm Chris Finini, and I think Illinois last week had the best uniforms in a nation. Shout out to have hand-painted leather helmets. I loved it. I loved it. Wow, interesting pick, Chris. Well, I'm Damien Harris, former Alabama running back. And as much as it pains me to say this, I think Ohio State has some of the best uniforms in the country. You got the smoke grays, you got the all blacks. I mean, I might have to go Ohio State best unions in the country. I don't know. We need to, I feel like helmet stickers. We got to get more on the helmet stickers. Yeah, they're killing it. Today's podcast, I promise, not a fashion show, but LSU I mentioned before, a huge game against Texas A&M to stay atop the SEC standings. |
| 1:33.8 | We'll predict and pick the outcome of that game as well as Oregon, Illinois. |
| 1:36.9 | Yes, that's a conference game. |
| 1:38.4 | Texas Vandy, also a conference game and many others on our weekly picks podcast later in the show. |
| 1:43.8 | I was going to ask, can Navy upset Notre Dame? But the midship are the only group of five team with a huge, huge game this week. Boise, UNLV, put the pot of coffee on late night, Friday. They're going to square off in a Mountain West Conference showdown with major, major playoff implications. It might be the first of two meetings between these two teams if they |
| 2:00.9 | meet again in the Mountain West Conference Championship game. And there's some big narrative games, |
| 2:06.0 | too, Alabama and Missouri and Indiana facing off against Washington in that game. Also a conference |
| 2:12.3 | game, believe they're not. There's a lot to get to on today's show. So let's get right to |
| 2:16.6 | the matchup in college station once again guys |
| 2:20.1 | all of our lines are presented by bet mGM and ls u going into kyle field two and a half point underdog |
| 2:28.8 | over under here at 53 and a half damien you played both of these spots. College Station or Death Valley, harder to play? Oben, it's really a toss-up. And I got to give you two separate answers just because it's really, really, really hard to decide. These are two great atmospheres, two really tough places to play. I'm going to go daytime game, like that 3 p.m. slot, you know, transitioning at the night time, the sun's going to go down, day to night game, I got to go Kyle Field. |
| 2:34.6 | Like, Agg that 3 p.m. slot, you know, transitioning into nighttime, the sun's going to go down, |
| 3:11.5 | day-to-night game. I got to go Kyle Field. Like, Aggie Land is rocking during the day. They're up and at it early, which I don't know how, because they do the midnight yell, but they're already up and at it ready to go. It's crazy. Yeah, crazy. Chris, you got it. Yeah, crazy environment, but you talk about nighttime when the sun goes down, the lights are out, the celebrities are out. I mean, this is people had all day to pregame and drink and do, |
| 3:17.8 | God knows what that they do down in Louisiana. I got to go Death Valley at night. I mean, |
| 3:23.2 | there's truly, truly nothing like it. And, you know, maybe my experience is a little bit different because it was always like number one versus number two or number one versus number three, something like that. But I would say if I had to compare the two, I would give you a 50-50 answer. And I would say daytime in Aguiland and nighttime at Death Valley. I like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like Kyle Field is playing with some chip on its shoulder, |
