One big breath and one big show, ahead of your way as the Big 12 goes on the road this week to a bunch of mid-major schools. Before we get into this week's slate, though it's recap, I've been to last week, can we all agree, Cody Stovall, that a win against Tulane on the road is better than a win at home against four and eight Arkansas. Everybody, are we all right there? No, I hope you got the reaction that you were looking for. Willy Fritz agrees, willy Fritz agrees, so we agree, transitive property, that's good for us. Cody Stovall, what makes you think that Oklahoma State's home win, giving up 600 yards, is better than Kansas State's road win against Tulane? Well, I mean, whenever you look at Tulane, they are a completely different team. Last year they had 17 American Conference, you know, all conference performers. They only, they lost 11 of those individuals. Whenever you factor in Willy Fritz, that means exactly 70.588% of their returning production is gone. I understand that the coach came over from Troy is a really good coach, and I also understand that they've returned their starting running back, but outside of that, they lose over 300 starts, whenever you could talk about the eight guys that are draft eligible, that ended up in some semblance of an NFL roster. Those guys alone are 278 starts, before you take into consideration the three guys that left Tulane, with Willy Fritz and the defense coordinator for Houston, how am I doing Drake? Can I, can I just, just here, that is all about a team that you didn't play this week. Thank you. You guys are working hard, Scott, I'm sorry, you didn't love the answer, but I was ready, buddy. Death, taxes, and Mike Gundy, and he can shop for bargain basement linebackers, and you just ask him, 'cause he will tell you. - This might be a cop-out, but like, what if Tulane just gets housed by Oklahoma this week? Like, how would that make us look both at Houston, how would that get us to play with him? - Is that Derek Johnson have locked on J-Hawks? Derek, you're still alive? - Yeah, we don't, the dimension was happening again. Drake, why didn't you warn me about Jeff Grimes? - Oh, dude, I can't, is that, what is the problem? Can somebody tell me the problem with Kansas, please? - Hey, yeah, I mean-- - Jake loves Jeff Grimes. - Hey, Jeff Grimes is a legend in Provo, you don't have to know. - Well, okay, so you get into the game and Kansas averaged 5.6, 5.7 yards per carry against Illinois. They held Illinois to 2.2 yards per carry. That's a Brett Biel and my team. They held them, that was the lowest yardage total that Lance Leipold team at Kansas has given up to a power four opponent. What was the deal? It was Jalen Daniels through three picks, and Jeff Grimes wanted to go deep or throw screen passes every play and not run the football. They averaged 4.4 yards per pass, over five and a half yards per carry. It doesn't take a mathematician to know what you should be doing more, and they refuse to rely on the run in that game. So it could just be a weird loss we look back on in a few weeks and are like, yeah, that was just an odd one, or it might be a sign that like, maybe Andrew Kodelnicki was pulling more than we might've thought for the offensive quarterback play, I don't know. - But if you've done the Jeff Grimes, this is a guy who ran the ball like 80% of the time in Provo, I don't know what you guys did to him. - So I gotta be ready for UNLV, that's all I gotta say. - Ready for UNLV. - Am I wide girl wasted, or was that the worst performance ever by Jalen Daniels in a KU uniform? Like he just looked like a completely different player, he looked lost, he looked confused, he couldn't get his platform set right, he was thrown against his body all day. It just seemed like he was very out of sorts from the very get go. - No, I agree, and that's been the conversation like nobody knows, it's like, have all the injuries added up? Is it that he hasn't played in a while, he's shaking off rust, is it a Jeff Grimes thing? I don't entirely know, and that's what's scary because it's like, if Jalen Daniels isn't the guy that you think he is, this offense is going to be very different, the season is going to be very different. And that's why this week, I mean, UNLV is a good opponent, KU beat him in the bowl game, I don't know if that helps or hurts you here in this go around, but it's one of those where it's like, if KU doesn't perform against UNLV, all of a sudden fans are gonna start changing their expectations to just, can you just make a third straight bowl game versus if Jalen does look like the guy we've seen on the bigger sample size, maybe it's back to like, okay, new season, big 12 play, Texas was tied with Wyoming in the fourth quarter, the Oklahoma State, South Alabama game, K-State lost it to Lane a couple of years ago when they won the big 12, it'll just be, whatever, it's just a weird loss early in the season. - Yeah, I'm sure that we're all gonna agree that UNLV is a very, very, very good opponent, we're all gonna believe that. (laughing) - I do want to pitch it to Kevin Warhol. - Kevin Warhol, thanks again. - Yeah, it was the Kelly Leipold thing real, for those who need a context here, apparently the Kansas coach's wife tweeted that she wanted more fan support. Derek, to our local expert, Derek. - Yeah, actually nobody knows. I actually have gotten texts from people like in the media who have literally been like, should we like FOIA request Twitter? How is that gonna go? But I don't know, it probably just gets shut down. - I was gonna let Kevin Warhol talk about Colorado this week, but Dion called me and said, don't let anybody speak on our football team, whatsoever, we are gonna do things our own way, and nobody gets to have an opinion period, except for us. - Let the band play Dion, let the band play. - What do you play? Can we play the rap song first, and then let the band talk? Maybe. (laughing) I could give you the full breakdown of what's called, they released a statement, because that's how dramatic it was. - No. - It goes, "Should door sander snip it "of perfect timing, "which is the song, if you like it or not?" It's not one of my favorite rap songs. And then it goes, "Glory Colorado." And then they kick the field goal, and then they play the fight song, is what their statement said. Now, granted, no one was paying attention, because I didn't realize that mean people cared about a song after a game, but when the New York Mets did it, no one cared, 'cause they have that guy with it. - They don't have a fight song, they don't have the band. You've got a whole, they've got 17 year olds sitting in the stands waiting to play the tuba, 'cause their team scored when they do score that. - The Mets have a guy with a trumpet. I mean, how do you think they are with a trumpet? - I mean, the students wanted, it's perfect timing. I don't know. I feel like Colorado has a lot more to worry about than what song they're playing after touchdowns, because against Nebraska, they didn't even score. - The fight song, or like the fight song. It's pretty clear. Do you have a bottle of bourbon, you keep like a Bob Euchar and Nathan League? Like, you touched before every show. - I need one talking to you, because we're talking about a fight on when Colorado just got absolutely embarrassed by Nebraska team they boat race last year. And all they did differently was add a freshman quarterback. - Hey, real quick, can we just talk about crazy? Is that Utah beat a big 12 team and it doesn't count for absolutely anything this weekend? - Utah beat a glorified midmate. We can all agree that Tulane's better than Baylor. Tulane, it's better than Baylor. We can all utilize that one. - Oh, you know, he's better than Baylor. - Yeah, you understand. - JT to your point of view is really good. - Probably the game of the week in the big 12 this week and with Arizona and K state, that doesn't count either. Like, what's up with that? - I know, it's so weird. - And it hurts the league because-- - It hurts the league, yeah. - Yeah, absolutely. - I think you're-- - Especially in a midweek game. Like it just, I would much rather that game be on a Saturday where it could be the center spotlight and it's not only a weekday game, but like you also said, it doesn't count for anything in the conference standing, which feels like a real missed opportunity. I know the scheduling made it challenging, but it feels like a rare point where Brett Ewellmark didn't miss the mark to me. - Well, this was effectively Utah's easiest game on the schedule. So I would, if I was you, I would not complain. If I was Arizona or Kansas. - They're easiest game. - One of those two teams is going to be effectively eliminated from at large in the college football season. - We still get to play Houston, no offense, Parker. - Sorry, Parker, which team? - Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. - Again, you know these are very good team. You know these are very good team. - You know these are very good team. - Great, I don't want it to rail, but I, real quick, I wanted to ask Kevin, can you explain the shoulder walking off the field with like two and a half minutes left thing before I unload on Colorado on my show? - Can you tell me, I've never, I don't know, that was, that was weird, there's a lot of things to unload about on Shador Sanders, how he answered that question after the game about the running, the rushing attack. Didn't love that, I feel like if you want to unload, that'd be the thing. What I want to unload on is him walking off the field. He wasn't the only player, him and another guy who are injured were both walking off the field to go get checked out in the locker room, that's what we were told. So there's a lot of things to up that with. I think a selective picture is probably not the one. I just don't think outside of Parker, most people don't know who Chinoza was walking off the field, but they were going through the locker room. But yeah, there's a lot of things to be outraged about. The bands, what song they're playing, get a hatred for CBS, yeah, I don't. - There's a lot of, I would avoid that one though, that's like the least of my concerns. - Let's stay right there though. Coming up, Colorado gets Colorado State this week and I picked the Rams. They're the Rams, right? They're so irrelevant. I don't know if I know they're the Rams. I picked the Rams to win. Let's break that down and give up predictions for this Saturday's games. That is up next right here on the Big 12 Squad. Today's show is brought to you by FanDuel. FanDuel's where I went last week and said, hey, BYU is plus 335 against SMU. I think I'm gonna put some money on this and guess what FanDuel said. BYU won, so we're gonna give you that money.

Back here in the Big 12 squad, a whole lot of weird games this weekend. Our conference travels to Oxford, Ohio, Tulsa, Oklahoma, Logan, Utah, and Laramie, Wyoming. But maybe the one that is the most dangerous is when Colorado goes to Colorado State and Fort Collins. Kevin Borba, the one in two Colorado buffaloes going in a Big 12 play. How do I feel about the buffs after two games now going into the staunch confines of Canvas Stadium? - Let's relax. There are one in one on the air, first of all. The Colorado State game hasn't happened yet. No, I think the Colorado State game will be a very good judge of how good or where this team is at. Realistically-- - What were the first two games, bad judges? - No, I mean, we'll see how they handle a opponent they should be handling. Like that's where we're at, realistically. - I just wanna know if two guys are gonna go bowling like the week after the game because there was some unfortunate-- - Hopefully there's no depth threats this time. Hopefully we keep the depth threats to a minimum. Realistically, the Nebraska game was a test of how good they do against teams that are going to be good and they did it terrible. So what does that say about Colorado? Well, one, I think Pat Schurmer is already a problem, which if you're a fan of the Denver Broncos, if you're a fan of any coach or any team, excuse me, that he's coach, you knew this was going to be an issue. They were the worst running team in the country last year and somehow their numbers are worse. So let's just factor that in. And then also, they're very much a vibes team. I hate to be like the vibes guy, but when you go three and out on the first drive and then throw pick six, the next, the vibes were down very quickly and they could not respond because they have no ulterior plan outside of throwing the ball 50 times a game. So I think realistically they should handle Colorado State despite Drake's prediction. But if they don't, then I just think we're going to have a lot more problems. I think we'll start talking about-- - Hold on, Barba. - The future will sort or opt out. We're going to be talking about a lot of things. - He wants all of us to play offensive line next week. Oh my gosh. Hey, last week I said the line, I had questions about it. I got a little pushback. Can I get a little cookie or something? - Yeah, the line is-- - If you be Illinois, maybe. - Better. - The line gets pushed. - That was a big bird. - Hey, the good news, KU gets Colorado late in the season. I don't think shooter, Sanders, and Travis Hunter will be playing, they'll just have opted out. - Paul, already looking past you. - You're a good team, a very good team. - Can we do, I'm sorry, Richie, I'm going to do this to you. You're not Vanderbilt, but this kind of feels like the lovable loser, you're like, oh hey, you're here and you're really good, all of a sudden, I love that Arizona State blew the brakes off Wyoming and then beat an SEC team, like handedly beat an SEC team for three quarters last week. You've been awful quiet down there. Come and cast some happy checks, big guy. - I'm having a good time in 10p and everybody else is too, we're just as surprised as you are the bar was low, which means that when we are playing at the level that we are playing, it's such an exciting time and everyone's kind of wondering when's the next shoe going to drop and everything like that and you're going to San Marcos on Thursday night to play a very quality Texas State game. - Level, do it, correct him level, how do you pronounce it? - It's San Marcos and then this is the party school bowl. That's what it is, I mean like it's the party school. - No, people who know, no, that's real. People who know, no, that's the party school bowl right there. I mean, lost for everybody, man, get after it. - Well, ASU is certainly going to be hitting up Mill Avenue by halftime, which is what they've done all year long, gotta find a way to keep them in the stands, but it's very easy for them to get distracted when partying is in their nature. - That's right, and it'll be-- - Hey Drake, rock is right. Hello Drake, really quick, can we talk about something? With all of the best teams in the Big 12 looking extremely shaky last week, I feel like you talk clearly cemented themselves as the team to beat. - The best cameraizing got hurt in the game, it's a little wrist injury, if he would have to play this weekend, he would, this was a big game this weekend, I've been told by people close to camp, he would play. Like, I've been told that too. So this Utah team, clearly to me, they have blown out the teams that they are supposed to blow out, and I have not seen the other teams that care that, before camp got hurt and left the game, when camp got hurt, they were-- - Before camp got hurt, yeah. I mean, I don't wanna analysis. - I had never had a girlfriend before I had a girlfriend and then I got a girlfriend. Oh my gosh, who worked JT? - Who worked JT Uno, doctor, you remember what happened last year? - I know, I know, I know, I know. - He always feels different, he was on the sideline, he was happy, he even said it was as much, Jake, you're absolutely right, I still have PTSD from last year. But Utah has beaten the teams, they're supposed to be handedly, and yes, when camp gets hurt, obviously Utah isn't gonna be a juggernaut, but when camp has been healthy, this team is looking as good as air swifty. - Taylor had negative yardage for most of the first quarter. The Utah defense is the best individual unit in the big 12th part. - Wait, I have another first quarter, did something happen after the, did they play three more? Or did they stop-- - I said, camp got hurt, camp got-- (laughing) That was good. The camp got hurt and the offense tailed it off, but as I said, this isn't a major injury, and I would do wanna get your thoughts on what I said about the other thing. I think the Utah defense is clearly the best overall unit in the big 12, based on what we've seen so far. - Yeah, I could've told you that. - I think the point, before I interrupt Drake, but I think the point Drake's missing is this point, Kim has a medical degree and can take care of himself that'll really speed up the process and he'll be okay, so. - He's older than I am. - I just think you're gonna walk-- - He's also older than me too. - Four years older than me. I don't know if he can walk into the conversation and be like, all the top teams in the big 12 look shaky except us. My brother, you looked so-- - Early in the first half. - How do we look? We looked completely fine until Kim left the game. So wait, this is a minor injury. - Didn't Kim rise a point favorite and won by 11 against a putrid Baylor team. Oklahoma State and Kansas State and Iowa State all got better wins than you this week. - Kansas State got better than I was-- - No, that's fair, man. Iowa State's missing around week one and that game was-- I would state that game was so close at various points. - Houston lost him. - You talked-- - Houston lost him by the head of better wins. - We can't help him. And once again, it's a minor, minor injury. So I feel like we've seen Utah play at a level higher than any other team in this conference so far. - Okay, so JT, you guys are off, but you have to take-- You have to take a turn getting a punch in on me. - Oh, fuck, you have to-- - It's coming every direction. - I was up, I was up, but just like take a second in. - Can we get somebody in graphics to make that a quote card from what Parker just said? 'Cause that was legend, ain't it? - That was good. - I mostly pick on Baylor because Drake's on his own 'cause Kim is not here. And yeah, the guy who was like, "Sure, guys, I'll be there." And then 30 minutes pre-show, yeah, maybe not. - We were not very good at all. I'm just not going to show them. - That's not like a Kansas State win was good. They got bailed out by back-- - That's what I'm saying. - On a touchdown. - They won, but they won, we can't time out. I'm sure-- - So did you, so did you, Utah? - You were saying they had a better win. They had a lot to-- - Oh, yeah, 100%. - No, they won the game. Yeah, the State had a better win than you. Yes, they beat a more quality team on the road. Too late, it's better than Baylor, head to head. - Drake, didn't you say Baylor was only gonna win three games? I feel like they're gonna win more than that. - No. - On those teams, I guarantee you they're gonna be-- - This is more good, Utah defense than a Wozley. - You did the same problem. - That Baylor offense. - I think it's the same problem with you and Cody this week. 'Cause you're like, "Oh man, that team "we played, they're a lot better than I expected." Yeah, against your own team, you ever talk about maybe you made them look good? Oh, well-- - No, we did not-- - Did you watch them? - They had negative yardage in the first quarter. - The difference between me and JT is, I gave you a logical reasoning as to my statement. - Logical. - But JT is simply stating-- - If we all watch the same game to win a conference title, you probably have to have depth. I'm not done talking yet. Utah doesn't have enough depth to win the conference. Do you have talent? Yes, do you have enough depth? No, we just watched the day I go in football game where you didn't have enough depth. - I think they're-- - You did that, JT. - I can't help it, they can't-- - One day they spoke this. - Yes, yes, go. - Utah plays UNLV. (laughing) - We're good to see you. - We'll see what happens. - Really quick, really quick. - Hey, really quick. Since apparently, this didn't turn into math class and we need numbers. Seventh ranked defense in the country, clearly the best in the big 12. The only defense in the big 12, not to give up 100 yards rushing or 100 yards passing in a game yet, they played some inferior opponents. What did they do? The Utah defense is taking care of business. Van Billinger, Connor O'Toole, top two pass version on this team. One and two in sacks. Is that better for numbers? - It's a shame that there is more than just defense in a football game and that offenses have to play well. Congrats to your 23 points against Baylor. But they're much improved on defense, aren't they? Against you, they were coming up. Let's get a prediction from everybody on this. We were supposed to do it in this segment. Coming up, let's get a prediction on this weekend from everybody. We're gonna keep it a 30 seconds or less on the big 12 squat. Today's show is brought to you by LinkedIn Talent Solutions.

Mountain Year Paul is your team. Good now, 30 seconds on West Virginia and Pitt this weekend. I mean, it's a good question. I think it's going to answer a lot of questions. You know, Pitt's not exactly world beaters. They scored 22 in answering the fourth, which was wild against Cincinnati. Holstein was four for 11 up until that point. Went 10 of 11 in the fourth quarter of the game. Kudos to him. I don't think Pitt's a good football team. I think we smash him this weekend. I really, truly do. Dead on the rules. Yeah, John Denver rules. Love it a lot of times. It's exactly suspect, though. Richie Bradshaw, let's go more in. Ronald wants water now. Arizona State, Texas State, in San Marcos, Arizona State is a one and a half point favor against GJ Kenny's team. Give me your prediction this week. I think it's going to be a slug fast. It's slug fast, excuse me. The way the ASU wins this game is to continue to suffocate the run, which over the first two games, they have not allowed 100 combined rushing yards to their opponents. For what it's worth, Wyoming can run the football. Mississippi State has Blake shape, and it's not like they're playing nobodies. Obviously, there's still a lot to prove. In the meantime, you've got an offense. That's kind of anemic through the passing attack, but you can run the heck out of the football with Cam Skadibu, who just won the Doke Walker Player of the Week Award. Give him the football. Allow Sam Levitt to play game manager. Suffocate on defense. You have four turnovers on defense. Three touchdowns on those four turnovers. There's a way to win this game. You just need to pound the rock and somehow slow down a really good Texas state running game. Blake shape and is one of the quarterbacks of all time. Thank you, Richard. Going stove all locked out Oklahoma State. Going in a Tulsa this week. I just want to put it out there. Alan Bowman didn't look very good to me. I don't know about you, but I still are from the state is a 28 year old. Somehow older than Cam rising. Alan, Joe. Alan Bowman didn't look great. Do you have a lot of confidence? Not just this week, but moving forward for a team that I do believe is consensus top three. I mean, not necessarily. I think what you saw from Bowman was a little bit of a regression back to the old school bum. And Chris, I don't know why you're laughing. You are here to talk about. I'm going to be smelling doughing, man. I mean, throw up on me. Come on. Here's what I'll say is there's two teams historically that have been able to shut down all the Gordon that is Texas and Arkansas. Thankfully, Tulsa is neither one of those ball clubs. There has to be an emphasis. We have to figure out how to run the ball again at some point in time, or this season is not going to go the way we need to. This has to be the game that our offensive line has to stop playing like a Sharman extra soft toilet paper and run somebody into the ground. It has to be this day. I'm going to say 44 21 Cowboys. Tony, you forgot to say Utah in two weeks for shutting down all the Gordon as well, but you'll learn. It's OK. Next, you better open your way. Shut up and pray. Cam rising is healthy, buddy. I promise he is. I promise. North Texas, Texas Tech. Chris Level, I saw today the entire defense for the Red Raiders is out. Are you going to be at the game? Are you OK? Are you also? [LAUGHTER] [INTERPOSING VOICES] Hope both teams have fun. North Texas has a good offense. Chris, will anybody be available on Defense for Texas Tech? Yeah, I don't know, man. I mean, can we just get a redo and start the season over? This is-- I feel like I'm jealous. The word of the day is jealousy. From all, most of you guys, this is not going to get started the season. North Texas actually head coach Eric Morris played wide out for Mike Leach at Texas Tech. They do. They throw it all over the place, Chandler Morris, who was a TCU in Oklahoma. I think he's throwing it for about 380 a game. Who knows? I mean, take the over, say a prayer. Hopefully, the Red Raiders will quit turning the ball over, quit committing penalties. But need a win. We've got the Sun Devils coming in next weekend, our week from Saturday, and then the Bearcats the week after that. So you've got three straight home games, but better make some hay, folks. Three straight losses. That's crazy, too. Oh, tough. I deserve all the smoke. I'm sorry. There he is. Yeah, that's risky. I just appreciate the fact that Texas Tech decides to put out these injury reports so we know exactly who's not. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, be what you give to you. Nothing. Please let me injury reports. JT, you get 15 seconds because it's Utah State. Utah State Utah is going to blow out Utah State. It's going to be 38 to 7. Utah's former quarterback last year, Bryson Barnes, actually may start in the game. Kind of weird, but Utah's going to blow them out. It's not going to be a game. And then all sites will be on that match up in Stillwater following week. Can't wait to go up. I have seen Bryson Barnes play college football once in my life and play as a very strong word. Colorado and Colorado State Kevin Borba. You've given a bit of a prediction. Give me the full prediction. Yeah, I think Colorado is going to win 20 to 14. I think they just have a lot of problems in the trenches still. Defensively, they haven't gotten to anyone at all. And offensively, they kind of got embarrassed by Nebraska. So there's going to be a lot of people tuning into this game. Like there was last year, there was almost 9 million people watching. And I think we're going to see a very weird and ugly win. But I think Colorado State is a bad football team. Yeah. Parker, for you to old Josh, Pete, is never play a food. You've got Rice at home this week. And you're a four point favorite. Will Houston get its only win of the season? If it were only about eating rice, they could be a lot more than a four point favorite. I think that truthfully Houston feels weirdly good about where they're at. There's a world where they play two playoff teams when UNLV and they can be Boise could be the group of five team in. If you told me Oklahoma was the fourth. You love UNLV. You really love UNLV. It's for life. I like, yeah, no, I think that Houston's feeling good. I got to be honest. Houston lost to Rice last year. Felt like a nail in the coffin for the Holgerson era. You got a hope that you opened up the William Fritz era with a win here. A lot of people in town, your mark has said he's going to be there watching it in person. A lot could be online this weekend for-- Why would you ever do that to himself? Please, no. It's the beautiful city of the great food, including lots of rice to eat. Jake has, we are going right to you. BYU at Wyoming never play a night game in Laramie, but this Wyoming team stinks. Hey, so long as BYU avoids the urine bombs that Wyoming fans are sure to throw at their sideline, I think they'll be OK. That's the biggest thing with this game. Shut down the rushing attack. You already heard Richie talk about it, Arizona State. Shut it down. BYU's defense last week is besides Georgia, the only power of 14 to hold the fellow power 14 out of the end zone. Jay Hill has completely revolutionized this BYU defense. So they do their thing. BYU will handle their business up there. Is that the bomb phase? That's real. The urine bomb? What is going on? He can't just gloss over that. What in the world are you talking about, man? OK, Wyoming fans, hey, I mean, hey BYU. F-U BYU is a constant chant up there when BYU shows up in Laramie. My dad has been there when you're an e-brated white cowboy fans peed over the railing on to BYU, walking out of the locker room. There have been urine bombs thrown from the stands, on the players, on the sideline. Like in a balloon or a bottle or what? I mean, what do we get? In a balloon. In a balloon. That's right. You're a little too interested. I love that. I want to give you the ideas of Aaron Lubbock. Yeah, I want to learn to a T is a decade in Lubbock. And he is so-- Chris is going to start soaking for tears in urine now. Good job, Jay. [LAUGHTER] I'm trying to learn, man. BYU has wanted to learn. BYU's won nine straight games over Wyoming. Last time, Wyoming beat BYU, it was two losing teams going head to head. Wyoming fans tore down the goal post and paraded him down Main Street in Laramie, Wyoming. They have an absolute visceral hate for the Brigham Young University Cougars. And it's going to be on full display Saturday night. Well, Hatch, may God be on your side. It sounds like if that is the case he is. He definitely, definitely is. You can all mark your and bomb off of our bingo card for the rest of the week. Hey, Jake, we're a raincoat.
