| 0:00.0 | It is a fine taco titty Tuesday. |
| 0:05.6 | And we have more college football to break down and discuss the question I have for the chat. |
| 0:14.8 | I'm not saying it's going to be his fault. |
| 0:17.7 | I'm not saying he's not going to be improved or a better version of what we saw in |
| 0:23.7 | 2024, but situationally, because of the quarterback, because of the way this Ohio State |
| 0:29.7 | roster is built, do you think Jeremiah Smith statistically is going to have a sophomore slump? |
| 0:36.6 | Yes or no. |
| 0:38.7 | That's my question of the day. |
| 0:42.4 | I think we all can agree, Jeremiah, I mean, he had two drops. |
| 0:47.9 | It is what it is, probably pressing a little bit too much because he had one catch for three yards against Texas last year. |
| 0:49.6 | I'm not saying that's going to be a consistent theme. |
| 0:52.1 | I think those two drops are going to make him super focused on catching the football. I'm saying situationally, do you think Jeremiah Smith |
| 1:00.2 | has a sophomore slump, just slightly less production than last year? Yes or no? That is the |
| 1:06.8 | question of the day. But Chris, how was your Monday? Really good. How was your Labor Day? Really? |
| 1:11.2 | Honestly, I didn't do anything for Labor Day. |
| 1:13.2 | I'm sorry. I didn't really either. I mean, I had an issue at home all of a sudden out of nowhere. Our software we used to do the show wasn't recognizing my mic. Luckily, I caught it early enough that I could zoom down here to the studio. Yeah, do you want to tell them how we caught it? |
| 1:09.0 | Oh, I was pre-recording the coaches report, and Chris jumped in to listen to what I was saying and he couldn't hear me. Yeah. And so he just came on screen and he was like, big dog. I was like, I literally was like, what the fuck are you doing? I'm recording. And he was like, hey, your mic's not working. I was like seven over seven minutes yeah so now keep my I pop in guys |
| 1:28.1 | and I can't hear him |
| 1:29.7 | and so and I pop in guys and I can't hear |
| 1:46.3 | him. And so, and I pop in about four minute mark. And so for three minutes, I'm trying to figure |
| 1:50.9 | out, is it my end or his end? Right. Before I risk blowing the whole thing up by jumping up. |
| 1:56.2 | Because I didn't want to jump up and it'd be like my fucking fold on my end. Right. So like I'm checking, double checking, triple checking. |
