Hey Red, what do you get when you mix a Roadrunner with a bull? Oh God, not again. What? The Bullrunner. Get it? Oh my Jesus, just start the fuck. Oh man, I cracked myself up. It's Karen Kord, we think. I'm not too sure. It's been a week and here we are. Yeah, you'd think we'd be all fired up with the victory over Temple and short game week here going into... Meaningful football in November, but I don't even know what fucking the day a week it is. So I actually really don't. I, you might be joking, but I really don't know what day it is. And it's got me all kind of fucked up. I left work and it was getting dark. What is going on here? Earth sucks. Yeah, send me to Mars. You guys were this close this week to just getting a posted word document of our episode as well. I mean, we were, if you're not joking about that either, we were like moments away from just tweeting out the outline saying fuck it because, I don't know, this podcasting thing is hard. It's hard work. Yeah. I mean, we need some sponsors. We need some, we need to start monetizing this thing, because my time is valuable. I could be sitting on the couch right now, drinking a White Claw, watching Golden Bachelor. Or you could be watching the comedy of Ron White. Ron White! That's what it is. I don't think anyone's actually going to listen to that episode because we released it so late before the UTSA game. So most people won't realize what we're talking about. But it's Ron White. Not Ron Black, and we're not racists. the opposite of racist. That's progressive woke. We don't use the word woke. It's the only people who use the word woke are the people who can't define what woke is. You're like, what is woke? They go, I wrote a book about it, but I couldn't tell you. You know what's not woke? it might be woke. I don't know. Players getting kicked off the team. We didn't get a whole lot of explanation, but Lloyd Summerall is off the team. Coach Golish said, we're leaving it at that. And he's not talking about it. he did not play against Temple and Golish was, talking all that week about maturity and accountability and. Rolling with the guys we know is going to be in the right place that week. could be entirely unrelated. Could be, you know, whatever speculate, insert storyline. But I w I would guess that it's just, got some. Bad coaching criticism or bench those types of things and did not take it. Well, I don't know you. I mean, to that point, he talked about a lot, the culture and trying to set it. And I even mentioned women's basketball and how women's basketball you come in. If you're not going to be part of that culture, the team will get rid of you. the women will not let you kind of ruin and spoil the bunch. And early on coaches need to do that because the culture isn't established. You got to weed out the folks now completely speculating. I don't know. Some roles that it definitely makes a lot of sense if you're trying to set a winning culture, you're going to try to get the folks that are going to ruin that out as early as possible. Yeah. Who knows some Lord of the flies type shit. He wants just, yeah, get it going to where they'll vote each other out. That's maybe not murder and kill each other, but just we did also notice with some are all not playing the other guy. I can't remember if we talked about this in the recap or not, but Braxton Clark didn't play either. We did talk about that. That's how it was in there. Yeah. he at least was dressed on the sidelines and ready to come in. So maybe he was in a similar situation, but. It was a little more mature about it or something or handled it better. I don't know, but, who knows? I'm sure there will be a lot more changes similar to that. once the season's done. we got some games before that. Yeah, sorry. I'm just so used to already skipping to what can next year bring us promise and hope? yeah. So as you dream of the end of the season, no, we got, we got some games coming up. What, we got to win. We're right in the hunt. Still playing meaningful football in November. Like we talked about, we've moved up the rankings to a one Oh six flying high. Yeah. That's out of how many teams though? 130, 130, 131. Yeah. I don't know. Something about one 30. Okay. It's always evolving when you add James Madison and these other things and stuff like that. I don't know. you're not getting a bowl game, James Madison, stop trying, even though you're one of the better teams in the nation. They are a better team. And I guess I didn't know my USF history got a little edumacation today. You know, at first I was like, yeah, James Madison's playing well, let him fucking get a bowl game, but then I heard that USF was in a similar situation when we first made the jump up to Conference USA, and we were not allowed to play in a bowl game despite a 7 4 record, so fuck em. Fuck them. That's what they get. You wanna come up here, just trying to come up and take all these bowl games away. Who, who else is gonna play in the bad boy mower's bowl? not to be a spoiler, but I was actually reading another tweet that said because there's so many fucking bowl games now, there's likely gonna be multiple 5 and 7 teams to get invited to. Go bowling. The, so the fucking money in college football. Yeah. Everybody wants a bowl game. Oh my god. The like, hometown, hero, dingleberry removal service, bowl game, and block party. Who the hell else wants one? Jesus. Is that the next step for carrying cord or own bowl game? It is. We're going to have our own bowl game. The bowl gift is going to be a JanSport backpack with naked pictures of Bobby inside of it. And a six pack of White Claw. Perfect. Although I'm not sure we even have the budget for that, but we don't help the shit we're paying for. It doesn't even work. Oh my God. it's wild. we know we're one Oh six. We don't give a fuck about that. we don't want any, we don't want to go bowling at five and seven. we want to get to six and six and earn it. So that makes the math real simple. We either beat UTSA this week, who's ranked 48. So maybe a little bit of lock shot or we beat Charlotte the week after who's ranked one 28. potentially a long shot knowing this team, but I mean, we are at the last 2 games of the season. The regular season. We had our predictions coming into this. Both of us had this week a loss. Both of us have next week a win. You gave me credit for having next week as a win, but I believe I said it's maybe a win, which at the time of me going 1 in 11 prediction or 2 in 10 prediction, I think you're like, that's as good as it's going to get from red and that's I mean, we needed it. We needed it. I couldn't be the guy saying seven and five while you're saying like two and whatever. I mean, the other option is we just win them both as well, though. We, you know, we were saying, oh, maybe we'll win this one or win this one. But I don't know that I would really be confident in that after this preview. no. It's not happening. But it is the first time we've ever played them. It is. So that's exciting. University of Texas at San Antonio. I have a master's degree from there. Oh, that's exciting. I do. I really do. I went to that school. Never went to a football game while I was there. Because they were bad. Did they have a football team while you were there? They didn't. They had just started. They had just started. Yeah, it was fairly new. Alamo Domes. Oh, kind of up the road. Similar to how Ray J is from... From, USF's campus. But yeah, we've never played them before, but sometimes those first time opponents for us, they're shitty teams. Yeah, a lot of people were complaining about teams they don't recognize on the schedule and who the fuck are these brands are playing and all that kind of stuff. But this one's kind of cool for me. They're, it's not like they're a storied program. They just started football in 2011, kind of a cool newcomer to the scene. That was USF. Vibe for Yeah. A while there. I guess we're at almost 30 years now, so I don't know if we still say that, but compared to other schools have been playing for a hundred years or so. That's still pretty new. Yeah. Still accomplished a lot. And and I think they even modeled a little bit of their, program building around what USF was doing back in the two thousands. I mean, you can only assume because they've had success in the first 10 years. So they had to have done what we did.'cause we had success in the first 10 years. Look at us go. Yeah. but it's not looking good for us. Not on the Vegas line. no. Yeah. The last several years they've been a pretty excellent team. And so they've continued that this year and they're favored by 16 points over USF. and the over under is 67 and a half. So on the other hand, look, I'll take it double digit road dogs. Again, that's when we played some of our best football, Memphis, Western Kentucky, Alabama was at home, but still, double digit home dogs They're a good team though, like they're definitely earning that 16 point and they're seven and three right now. But we just go in there and we're feeling a little dangerous Friday night. It's different, Ooh, Friday night lights. Exactly. Yeah. Little Florida versus Texas. Okay, who gets to secede from the United States first? Yeah. But UTSA 6 0 in the conference. But they won five of those six conference games by double digits even. So they've not really been challenged within the conference. The closest game was... I think North Texas. Wow. Yeah. out of the three losses, they lost to Houston, Tennessee, and Army, surprisingly. but the biggest loss was to Tennessee. maybe Golosh has got some game plan connections for us of what happened. Got a little film on the sly. Yeah. I did notice just from looking at the box score, they were vulnerable to multiple big explosive play touchdowns. I think they had Tennessee had four drives that were two plays or less. I mean, that's what this offense was built for baby. Yeah. It's a little bit opposite of what I want to see us try to do right now, but. Whatever. Fuck it. See what we want to fucking win. There's no opposite of that. Just to be clear, I'm not opposing of winning or scoring on one play. I am just saying the, the big shots haven't always worked out for us and then get us behind the sticks this year. but yeah, certainly that's what the offense is designed to do though. So maybe we'll get there. what else to say about UTSA? they're winners all around. Let's see. They're on a six game winning streak too, which is one of the longest in the nation. they're 11 and one in November under their current coach. So I don't know what USF's record in November is probably 0 and 12 or something, or I guess we're one in 11 or something, right? Their lone loss in November was last year against North Texas. And, but that was very clinched the conference USA championship game. Yep, kind of a similar situation, perhaps. So they got a little oxidized school going into that, but yeah, they ended up winning conference USA last year. They're top 25 team before that 1 loss. That feels so much like USF back in the day without the conference success. We never made the conference championship. We weren't in Congress. I think if USF stays in conference, USA, we're probably, if we don't ever make that transition to the big East and get stuck with who knows in the West Virginias of the world. Yeah. but this year, UTSA. last week they played rice. So that's a common opponent for us to kind of look at. Wasn't too much to glean from that. UTSA won it pretty comfortably, but rice was playing with their backup quarterback for the whole game. So that's a little different comparison. Yeah. but where I'm really kind of looking at their schedule and results and everything is next week because it's done so well next week, they play two lane in their last game of the season or regular season, and that's basically a American conference semifinal, so they play 2 lane who's undefeated in the conference and then Memphis plays SMU this week for kind of basically the other semifinal. I see. See who's going to come out and yeah, and then those the winner of each of those 2 games will likely meet I'm not so much watching the Tulane game cause it has nothing to do with USF. I don't give a shit. I'm just saying it might be a, it's a trap game. They're looking ahead to that. They've also got their trailer trap game where the trap game for them going to Tulane. Yes. Yes. Okay. All right. You gotta be a little bit clearer for the dumb fans around here. That's why we have you to help translate. Yeah. Yeah. Hey guys. He's talking about us. The other big distraction they have is their coach, because the, again, when you do well, people want to poach that success. So their coach has been rumored to go to A& M to replace old Jimbo Fisher with his big buyout. So I hope the dude's ready to make 525 an hour. Cause Texan, I'm going to have shit to pay him. Golly, you know, I could do with 77 million. a lot, that's a lot of naked pictures and Bobby in the, oh, I already have those. I've already got those, but you can print them out with the 77. I don't know. I've already got them printed out. I've got this huge stack here. I don't know what to do with. I mean, and the resolution is so high on those things that you can see all his strengths and weaknesses, just like all the strengths and weaknesses about UTSA. We're about to discuss. Like we said, they were, they're a winner last year. They were a winner of the year before that. They're a solid, very experienced team. They've kept their core together. They've got a senior quarterback, senior wide receiver. Haven't had a losing season since 2019. So it's like the exact opposite of what we've done since 2019. Yeah. Yeah. the guy who makes it all go quarterback. Frank Harris to be number 0. He's a senior. Like we said, he's got over 11, 000 passing yards in his career at 2000 rushing. he's got that dual threat option. he's been banged up this year with some injury, missed two of their early games and those were two of their losses. But he's also got two games where he is been over 400 yards passing and four touchdowns in each game. He's definitely a threat. Good. About to have three. Should, maybe this should just be a new thing for us. We should just look up what their career best is and set that mark of what USF has to be. that should be the, Oh man. Like when you go to the carnival and it's got that thing you hit with the mallet to see how high you get the thing up to ring the bell. That's what we're doing. Big, strong man, break 7 million yards. This one would probably actually be the toughest test for that because usually it's like a true freshman that we're just letting them have is. Yeah, that's game. This guy's he's had an experience. He's got, he's got some games in there already. They'd be tough to beat, but in, in CUSA, I mean, a lot of those teams came with them right now are American teams, but they also do a good job in some of the games of whether they he's not playing well, or they're just not having to use him, they've been able to rely on their running game and still pull out wins. cause he hasn't had. You know, 300 yards every game. He's had a couple of games where it's been 100 yards passing or something. They're still winning pretty easily. okay. but his number 1 target is another senior Joshua. Why just even number 2? He's had 80 plus catches last year. He's got 60, some 67 this year, I think, which is not quite as many as our boy, Sean Atkins. So we got the edge there. Yeah. He does have, I think, eight touchdowns to Sean Atkins for though. So cause Sean Atkins, he's not a selfish guy. He doesn't take the ball himself. He gets us down there. And they let someone else score slides down at the one so we can run it in. Yeah. So that, that's a selfless guy. The blood of Mother Theresa Can't wait to get Mother Teresa shirts made of a Sean Atkins face in there on the gift that keeps on giving. Beacon I about Mother Theresa. Yeah. Defense Mother Theresa. A huge fan of defensive football. Always man. Huge fan of Iowa these days. I, I said to bring up Iowa because now I have to talk about Iowa. I saw huge news in the Iowa football world. Their punter is declaring early for the draft. So as you do that dude has had enough time to kick the shit out of that ball season. He's if I don't get out of here this year, my legs going to be fucking going to have hip surgery. So why do you follow Iowa football so closely? I don't know. That was just a, tweet. The algorithm knows, knows what I want, knows what you want, you want a linebacker like Trey Moore linebacker. Number one guy's got 14 sacks this season. 2nd and 3rd on their team. Each have 4 sacks each and that's still more than anyone else on our team. It's still Evans with just the ones he had in the Alabama game. Yeah. Yeah. we have not been sacking the quarterback and we haven't been protecting quarterbacks either. So he's going to have a whole bio Brown's ready to run. You're going to have a fucking field day with our O line. Oh my gosh. It is going to be a past play every single time. And we're going to go to back sets and just put both of them in past pro. That's it. Who are you picking up? And you don't even gotta, you don't even gotta block, just chip him. Just buy us a couple seconds. That's it. Two back set, get ready for it. You heard it here first, folks. Puku with the ultimate game plan. Yeah, there it is. What else do you want to see besides two back sets, which you just stole from Kay anyways, I didn't steal, I don't steal any of my shit from any of those guys in the group chat. And I don't care what Pod says, I don't care what Kay says. Fuck those guys. I want to see us. Play loose. Like you said, I want to see us take some shots. We got nothing to lose. We're already thinking we're going to lose this game. Anyway, go big baby. Yeah. Why not? For me on offense, I just want to see us establish what we want to do. What's our game plan and just keep doing it. Don't get too cute. Don't, Oh, now we're going to go to this and try to take. This shot that's never worked ever and we're going to put Izzy Carter in and we're going to run this crazy trick play and yeah, it's just going to throw off all the rhythm and just for me, the intermediate passing game, even though it's not very complex or sophisticated, it's worked. Like Sean Atkins on a post on the slants when that's taken away, we've got the comeback hitches on the outs. Yeah, all of that's worked and doesn't seem to have been taken away except by us being like, nah, we don't want to do that anymore. I'm over that. USF fans are kind of spoiled and that this season we play a little bit of coaching carousel, which is play calling. Whereas in previous seasons, it's been coaching carousel with starters. Quarterback and it's like, all right, at least we got 1 guy, maybe switching it up to see what kind of works and, you know, running back by committee. We'll get everybody some touches back there and try to spread the ball around and try different things. But at least we got 1 guy. You like, lest we forget where we just came from way to ground me there. Bring me back to reality. That's what I'm asking for here. Relax, man. Relax. It's gonna be real awkward at that booster lunch when he realizes who you are. Trust me. They're not sitting me at the table with Byron Brown, not once I get that 77 million over there. Yeah. one day. day our defense will learn how to tackle too. So that's the thing, man. Like it seems like an easy fix, but we're eight games, nine games into the season. Now, 10 games. I don't know what fucking game we're on. Five plus five is 10. Yeah. We're on a game. We're 10 games in the season and you still have guys who are lower in their shoulder. And just, diving at somebody's legs, throw your arms out and try to wrap. Guys are bouncing off that. that is an easy thing to bounce off of and get over. And they're getting yards after the catch. Additional yards on carries, and they're having career days. Wrap the motherfucker up! I can live with some yak. I'm sure they're gonna be catching balls, running across the middle like usual. Not expecting that to change this week, but... Just don't give up the touchdowns. Make them drive the ball. It's worked a little bit last week, right? Hey, if you make them run 10 plays instead of two to get a touchdown, occasionally, some of those go negative just by letting them do their own thing out there. So can maybe get an interception or you get an extra chance to force a fumble? maybe, who knows, right? We don't try. Yeah, we're not having high expectations. we're going out there throwing some shit at the wall this week. Play the spoiler. See what happens. good with it. Let's just see. I mean, life has sucked as a USF fan. We're now on the cusp of potentially a winning season by the end of this thing. Let's just have fun with it at this point. Yeah. this is exciting shit. You know what else is exciting? KKKK is pumperdump. So much better when you do it. I disagree. KKKK's pumperdump. That reminds me of that old Dave Chappelle KKKK, get your ass out the car. Anyway, he went one and two last week. It's tough Betton. I saw a meme the other day where it's talk about. Betting parlays to chase bad money or something like that. And why do you keep doing it? And it was like, somebody who's I'm an idiot. I thought, okay. I saw a couple of tweets. One was like. The opposite of gambling help and it was basically like whenever you're feeling down with all your losers, the next one's your winner. Just keep that and then I saw another tweet calling out our man. K. Yeah, but also complimenting at the same time as social media manager on one of his many hysterical gif meme postings on Twitter on X. I just someone commented. I wish Kay's pics were as good as his memes. That's amazing. Why is, why are we taking off on Twitter just as Twitter goes to shit? This is the, this is horrible. I can't deal with this. I can't take this. Oh my god, just like I can't take Kay getting this shit wrong all the time. My problem is, he always picks like, crazy ass games. Sometimes he'll pick the big, you know, ranked matchups and stuff, but when he sticks to the American, I feel like he does great. Like his one win last week was because he watched the Memphis defense, knew they were shit, said, don't trust the under there. against Charlotte. Charlotte. Yep, exactly. Of all teams. My man. That game was crazy close for some reason too, but then he was wrong with the pick two big underdogs to cover and neither one was close. So I think he just he should be picking, he should be picking whatever game Temple's playing this week. He just watched him, did a scouting. He should know exactly what's going to happen. Just like USF offense. Don't get cute with it, man. Just go with what you know. but does he listen to us? No, because first game he's got the, right out the gate, the other OSU, not Ohio state, but Oklahoma state covers a six and a half at Houston speaking of Oklahoma state, what happened in them last week versus down the road. See, as I talked about that in the last pod, they got the absolute. Brakes beaten off of them. it was ugly as shit at Oklahoma state. And Houston. Nah, I don't think it was at Oklahoma state. No, it wasn't. It wasn't. It was it. It was at sea. Yep. Scratch that. Correction for the record. Don't worry. we'll correct it. No, you're going to leave it in there. It's okay. I understand. As I always, my editing always makes you look so much smarter. I don't know what you're complaining about right now. Which is a feat in and of itself. And I thank you for your service. We should have a salute to service for you. I wouldn't complain. Certainly wouldn't go on a big rant like you do. Oh, whatever. Anyways, other game. he's got the Washington Huskies covering a plus three at Oregon state. Okay, so that's he thinks they'll hold on to their top five ranking there and it's a big ranked matchup I think that's a good one. And then he's got the Georgia Bulldogs able to cover minus 10 at Tennessee and another big time Conference matchup. I feel like that's trap one Yeah, I think George is going to take that one pretty easy. Yeah, but I mean, he's loving ranked teams on the road for all three of those games is what he's telling me. Okay, uh, on the USF front, he says he won't bet on USF to win this game, but he says, if you're going to bet anything, bet the under on the total points. I, I disagree with Kay a lot, and I am about to disagree with him on this one. You've got USF winning. No, I'm not taking the under. No, I definitely don't have us winning this game. I got 59 14 UTSA. Offense just never gets going. We don't know what kind of USF team is going to show up. That's the difficult part is, are we getting Alabama or are we getting UAB? and that's tough. So I think we maybe get a little bit of success, but the offense just never finds it. Defense. It's ugly. 59, 14 UTSA wins it. Another 50 burger. Yeah. Another one because it's feast or famine against this defense. I also don't have USF winning, but I got it a little more reasonable, still think it'll be a two score game, not that close. 41 28 for UTSA. Also taking the over though. Just barely on the over. It's still the over. Close one counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, my friend. You did the math on 41 plus 28 pretty quick there, I'm proud of you. you know. Calculator app open over there. Mind of an Excel spreadsheet over here. Ask me to do, an amortization schedule. What did you call it? An amortization schedule. Amore. Well, that's all folks. Oh, I heard that little Warner Brothers reference. Yeah. Do I get it? Do you get it? I don't know. You don't catch it. I don't get it. Roadrunner. They're the Roadrunners. Oh. Wile E. Coyote chases the Roadrunner. That's a Warner Brothers owned property. Then you got a little, is it Elmer Fudd who comes in or is it Porky the Pig who comes in? Well, that's all folks. Oh, yeah. I don't think you're doing a reference. I think you just usually use the word folks a lot. I can use folks all the time. Yeah, you fucked me up. Well, K and Red's last minute appearance sparked the team to victory. Are you going? I am going, I believe so. We'll be flying out early Friday. Wow. Yeah, look at that. Was not on the schedule, but look, five and five got a chance for a bowl game. Got to be there to watch it if it happens. Okay. Tune in, find out if their visit makes a difference. Friday, 9 p. m. Eastern on ESPN 2, they will be the only two USF fans in attendance. You'll be able to spot them pretty easily in that shit ass dome. Make sure you guys check out the Riverwalk. I've heard it's nice. I think we're staying right on the Riverwalk, but are you really sharing a bed? Maybe. Yeah. One of the Pull to pull, hole to hole, but never pull to hole, you'll be good. And also That'd be military training for Yeah. Right there. Citizen soldier! Also, just don't be one of the assholes that falls into the river. It happens all the time. Oh, really? I didn't know that. Yeah. It happens all the time. They don't have like railings or anything like that? You will be surprised to see it is sidewalk and river. And that's it. It's not even really a river, it's a creek, goes in between some restaurants and shit, but it's a good time. and you probably run into a bunch of AIT soldiers there, stationed at Fort Sam Houston, finally get a little bit of time to go out. no matter what they tell you, just stay. It's a siren song. Don't go near them. Weather doesn't matter for this game, because it's an inside game, hence the name Alamo. Dome for some of you dumbasses catch us on all the socials. You know where to find us K's rocking out the Twitter We're on the bulls pen. We're editing in this bad boy. So who knows when it's coming out, but hopefully you get it before Friday night kick. We love you all go bulls go bulls. the end
