Boom, the boys are back and it is time for a Q&A episode. Before we get ready for Oklahoma State. I'm still recovering from that BYU game. It's kind of funny, you know, with a lot like that. I feel like there was just as many questions. Which, I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. But they're there and we will answer them. It hasn't gotten any better. I am not rewatching. I'm not rewatching any of the... Not rewatching any of the highlights. The only thing I've seen is accidentally. It just kind of came across on Twitter. The BYU linebacker talking about how they're a lead and talking about how he scored more touchdowns in K-State did. I mean, it's not wrong. But it was a cocky little quote. I'll tell you this right now. I would give my left pinky toe if that meant K-State got a rematch with BYU in Arlington. There's no part of me who thinks if that game was played ten times BYU, even up in Provo, they're not winning more than three or four of them. And on a neutral field they'd maybe win two. That's what really makes it suck. And I think there are some of that in the questions. I know I'm still down. But there's a big game on Saturday and win that one and things get better. So we'll get into it. You know, again, not nearly as fun as questions. But there's some good questions. And from some of the good regulars as well. So shout out to all of them. And we'll get into it. Before we do, again, it's an 11-am game with Oklahoma State. So if you're getting into Manhattan early on Friday, make sure you stop and buy Manhattan Brewing Company. As always, they have fun stuff going on at the brewery all week. They truly are simply the best. I can't get enough of them. And I hope that you guys are able to get in there and enjoy what they have going on this week. As you guys are listening, they have $1 off El Bandido Yankee margaritas on Tuesday. There's going to be some Tacos from El Patron as well. They got the Hoppy Okapai Beer release on Wednesday. It's a collaboration with Sunset Zoo as well as the Band of Book Club on Wednesday. Thursday, Jammin' Jamaican Food Truck will be there starting at 6. Friday, Smokin' H, BBQ from 5 to 8. They will also be at Brute the Zoo at 5.30. And the K-State Alumni Association 150th celebration event at the Alumni Center. They also will be, you know, Manning the Bart, the Wearham Hall Friday night movies, the Breakfast Club Friday night. So again, folks, if you're in Manhattan on Friday, Manhattan Brewing Company is going to be all over the place. They'll open up at 10 a.m. if you want to watch the K-State Oklahoma State game there. And there will also be a beer tasting at Boot Barn from 3 to 8 if you want to stop by after the game. So Manhattan Brewing Company is simply the best. And of course, Wichita Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the NBC Lounge. Alright, let's get into your guys' questions. Again, not always fun, but I appreciate the folks who listen when things aren't going good and asking questions. First one from Mark, could I have scripted a worse 4-minute section of the game? No, I could not. Again, I will never go back and re-watch it. Unless K-State wins the Big 12 this year and I just decide, you know, in the doldrums of summer, go back and re-watch every single game. Unless I have some reason, unless this ends up being a great season, which it still could still be a very good season. I'll never re-watch it. But that 4-minute stretch, I mean, it was just insane. I remember being up there. It was the fourth in one for a second. I thought, eh, did we stop them? No, they picked it up and then they get a feel goal in just thinking to myself. Again, you know, getting the ball back, plenty of time, all the time outs. Let's go score a touchdown and folks, it could be off to the races. It could be game over at that point. A little uninspiring first couple plays and then the DJ fumble. And again, it's not only he rarely fumbles and a handful of times that he has, I feel like he's gotten right back on top of it. But it went to the part of the field where there were no purple shirts, bounced right to a BYU player, easy walk-in touchdown. And then again, you're thinking, all right, it's still plenty of time. You can go get a feel goal, get it to a one-point game. Sure enough, interception by Avery. It was -- I just don't understand that one. And then again, quickly turns into a touchdown. And then you come back in. Again, again, it's -- you're thinking yourself, all right, start fast, no interception. Okay, hey, you know, if you're going to do it, you got to get back in the game. Boom, punt. You're thinking, oh, muffed punt. Here we are, we're about to get it in the red zone, let's rock and roll. Nope, touchdown. And I would challenge anyone to find like a worse four minutes of gameplay in the history of K-State football. It was -- I just don't understand. It just sucks, man. It truly was the worst possible thing that could have happened. So, yeah, that's all I got. I wish there was something else to add to that. And I'm a little depressed. You made me relive that four minutes, but it is what it is. All right, we got Colton Cooper. He goes, "Am I crazy not being worried?" Yes, Avery needs to be smarter with the ball, but he's young and a top tier environment. Also, DJ's Fumbles won in a thousand. Okay, I agree. And look, if you want to talk macro level, if you want to talk this season, if you want to talk long term K-State football, look, this is exactly what college football is. This type of stuff happens far more often than I wish it would, but it happens. And look, you have to be a good team to be favored by a touchdown on the road in that sort of environment. And it really was a perfect storm of shitty things to lead to that point. Again, you have two penalties. Look, three penalties that kind of took touchdowns off the board. Granted, the final one, I don't know if Avery really got in on that fourth down. But in theory, you could say you should have had 21 points instead of 9. And then all of a sudden, that does change everything. You get up 14 to nothing instead of 6 to nothing. Look, it could have gone a different way. It was close to going a different way. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Should you be worried? Look, I'm not going to tell folks to be worried or not. I still think, hey, you went on Saturday and it's not no harm, no foul, because that game sucks. I'm not going to say it doesn't suck to lose that game. But you can still accomplish everything you want. I think that when you looked at the opening, I think that you probably thought if you're going to lose a game, it was probably going to be Oklahoma State instead of BYU. But if you want to talk Arlington, being able to deliver the kill shot on Oklahoma State is far more valuable than beating BYU and dropping that game to Oklahoma State. So you don't have to be worried if you're worried that you're not wrong. I mean, it was a shitty game. But I'm more in your boat than in complete meltdown mode. Mainly because I still think this team is so good. The rushing offense was still really good that game. And the defense, I mean, whatever, they were fine unless they had a super short field. So I'm way closer to you than I am to total meltdown. We've got a brand new NFL season to enjoy. And that means all new episodes of the Nat Kum Show where I'm joined by some of the very best NFL broadcasters in the business. Even when the roster is not stacked, he can still pull those wins out. This dude accelerates through it. And I was like, did he really get through the hole that fast? We get you up to speed on everything you need to know about America's game. The major news, big game previews, reaction to all the action and plenty more besides. So join us for the ride, just search the Nat Kum Show on your podcast platform of choice. All right. Next question we got from the great Brett Maury. Rock Chop Brett, he asks, is it going to get better? Look, it should. It should. If we lay an egg versus Oklahoma State and we're going into the bi-week two and two or three and two, I will come on here. I'll melt down. I will chicken little this. The sky is falling. I will be very distraught. Especially if it has a final score similar to that. I would imagine playing at home even though I do not think that it is going to be nearly as wild of a crowd as I had hoped for that game. I still think it will be a decent crowd. I still think that there will be juice. I still think that this team in the history of the Chris Kleinman era usually responds back from bad games having a good one. We saw the lackluster performance versus Tulane even though it was a win. We saw a great performance versus Arizona. Hopefully it's not a seesaw. Hopefully it's not back and forth. Hopefully we see a great performance versus Oklahoma State and we go into the bi-week and prepare for a stretch that will define the season with Colorado West Virginia and KU at home. Again I think that we're currently favored by five, six points versus Oklahoma State. I think that's an accurate line. I still think that if you play, yeah it's currently sitting at six points. Still think if you play BYU you're favored by close to a touchdown even on the road. This is still a team that can be a big 12 champion. This is still a 10 win type of team. This is still a top 20 type of team. You just got to bounce back so I do think it is going to get better. I truly do believe in this team. Next we got Ema Elvis, formerly of Live Show fame. He does a lot of the fun intro songs that we use. Any of the Elvis themed ones obviously are coming from Ema Elvis. So shout out to you Ema Elvis. He asks, "I'm suddenly the OC, what am I going to do to get the offense cooking?" Look, I give up any of this idea that we're going to do much of any dropback passing. We are becoming a run heavy football team 65, 70% of the time. Anytime in almost every play we're going to have some sort of jet motion across the formation or motioning guys out of the backfield, I'm going to incorporate more quarterback run. Anytime we are passing it's going to be off of play action and we're going to get Avery's feet moving. We're going to get a moving right or it's going to be some sort of run pass option. How much of it's on Avery, how much of it's on play coaching, how much of it's on the wide receivers and pass catchers. I'm not smart enough to let you know, but the passing game just is not up to snuff. And I think that you have to create advantageous situations or situations as Chris Klima would like to say and I think that comes down to the running attack and it really does come down to Avery being able to run the ball more and then being in a situation where if he sees an opening, if the first and second read aren't there and he has an opening, take off and run right then and there. Too many plays are just throwaways. We saw a couple interceptions, he just needs to, when he sees an opening, he needs to go. He needs to scramble. He needs to go pick up yards and that's going to lead to bigger play. So that's what I would do. I think that's, I mean, look, I think there's a reason why, I think there's a reason why I'm behind this podcast microphone and not a coach, but I feel like that's what we need to do. It's obviously not simple, it's not an easy fix by any means, but we need to do something. I just, I just think the dependency of trying to do too much dropback passing, I think it I think it's been a massive, massive detriment, especially in the red zone, especially in the red zone. And we got Western Wildcat, lots of complaint about the play calling in this game. What did I think of it? Personally, I thought it was okay, except for a couple red zone calls, but as more of the team just got shook up bad and shot themselves in the foot constantly to me. Look, I think, I think there's some of that again, I would have liked to see more running. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Even with all those complaints that I just had, right, Connor Riley still had both of the first two drives, absolutely cooking, absolutely cooking until we got to the red zone. And even, even then, even with my complaints about some of the passing game, we still probably would have scored touchdowns on both those drives if it wasn't for boneheaded mistakes, you know, penalties, like both times by offensive lineman. One of the holds might have been on the tight end. I can't remember. But if it wasn't for those mistakes, if it wasn't for those penalties, we probably go up 14 nothing. And then even when we were doing what we wanted, I wanted, hey, let's run the ball. Let's worry about running the ball instead of drop back passing. Well, you know, that was also the DJ Fumble. So again, you know, I say all these things. I say all these things and not much, I mean, it could not have gone much better until, like I said, those penalties in the red zone and then that DJ Fumble, what I was saying we should do doesn't really fix any of that really, you know, some of the drop back passing stuff kind of came when we didn't really have a choice. But I look, I'm not, I'm not, I was not frustrated with the play calling. I wasn't. I was not frustrated with the play calling. I would have just like to see us punch it in. I feel like I'm going to say this a million times, but you just score on those two first touchdowns on those first two drives and maybe none of this happens. We got Nova Cat. Can you see who says, is this worse than the 2020 loss of Iowa State? Uh, yes. I think when you talk about losses, obviously that one is in a rivalry game. That one, um, hurts, it was a bigger points blowout, I believe. But you got a, you got to remember where you were in that point of the season. You had, I think close to 18 guys on your two deep out with COVID, that game, um, verse a perceived better opponent, um, this one's 100% worse. You know, you had much higher expectations at, you know, going into that game. You were a touchdown favorite. I think I was, it was like a double digit favorite going into that game. Um, I, I, I, I don't think it's close. I, I, I really think when you account for, when you account for the situation, the expectations and everything surrounding the game, I, I think that it was, um, I think this is, I don't think there's any, I don't think there's any competition. This is the worst loss in the Chris common here. I don't think any of the other ones are close. So, oh gosh, this is harder than I thought I was going to be talking about this game. I can't wait to move. I can't wait to move on to talking about Oklahoma State in that game. Um, how worried are you about going on the road rest of the season? Had a rough two lane game we squeaked by and got dog walked and Provo. The road now has me concerned no matter who we play, tail two different teams playing at home versus away. That's from Western Wildcat. Not concerned, um, a little concerned, um, it's not nothing, it's not nothing at all. Um, you do have to look at things. So the Colorado atmosphere is probably going to be the toughest one the rest of the way. I think there's a chance West Virginia loses every game in the buildup for us playing them. If they, if they turn it around, if they get hot now, um, that one could get a little rowdy, um, but that, but that game versus, uh, Colorado, um, especially if they beat UCF, they'll be going to a bi-week, they'll be four and one, um, two and a big 12 play. They're going to have, they're going to be buzzing a little bit. So little worried about that. We'll see what happens with West Virginia, not worried at all about Houston. We'll see what the Iowa State game is, you know, it's coming after Thanksgiving. Um, are there students going to be in a rush to get back for that game? Um, I, I get it's going to depend on where those two teams are. That could be wild. So I'd be lying if I'm not, if, if I said I wasn't concerned about that game and there could be massive implications on that game. Um, so like how worried am I, like on a scale one to 10, I'm like a four. You know, it's not nothing, but I'm not losing sleep over it yet. Now if, if, you know, you get just your ass kicked by Colorado up at Boulder, I mean, at that point, who really cares, uh, because of seasons, actually, no, I'm not going to say that because, you know, getting to a nine or 10 one season, finishing the top 20, that would still matter to me. You'd still have your rivals to play. So it wouldn't be season over. But at that point, it becomes like an eight, um, if we seem to struggle, like beyond reason, uh, versus Colorado, then, then I'll be up at an eight. But right now it's, it's not nothing. So I'm, I'm out of four and we got math or, uh, Robbie Matthew, Matt, Matt, sorry, I definitely butchered your last name. So we got Matt, not really worried. Just one of those things where the ball literally bounced perfectly for BYU and once the ceiling started falling and nothing could be done, um, how the game goes sometimes, had control until two minutes, uh, before half time, would love to meet them again. Look, Matt, I, I'm right there with you. I'm right there with you. Again, it was a perfect storm of shit, Alsory, um, to, to have the game go like that. I would, like I said, I would, I would give up my left pinky toe. With that meant we got to play BYU in the big, big 12 championship game down Arlington. Um, I don't think we would dog walk them, but I, I think we'd win by 14 if we got to play them on a neutral field and it would be a relatively stress free game. Um, it was a juice crowd. Look, I don't want to take it away anything. They capitalize on the mistakes. How many times in college football do you see a team make countless mistakes and the underdog doesn't capitalize on them? BYU capitalized on them and then, uh, it blew up in our face like, you know, we blew up our own hand. It was like, you know, a 13 year old with too much money spending fireworks on Fourth of July, blew up our own hand, um, but BYU capitalized on it, but I, I would do anything. I would do anything, uh, to, to try to play them in Arlington. I would, I would absolutely love it, so, um, all right, we got Casey fan with two ends, three was eyes disappointed, um, or were you as a disappointed as I was when the team came out in the second half outside of the fluke scoop and score and a bad INT, we dominated the first half, but we came out week and gave them the punt return when we got punched in the mouth. We didn't respond very disappointing. Well, it was the interception first, um, I think the interception is the one that did us in, I think when the interception happened, um, when the interception happened, we were cooked, then we, three and out, then the punts, um, so yeah, I was disappointed. I was very disappointed, um, and, and then at that point, what, what's the point of really having fun? Like I get it pride, all that stuff, but, um, yeah, I was disappointed as well. Again, I, I feel like I'm a bit of a broken record this episode, but, um, we did. We dominated for about 26 minutes of that first half and, uh, you're only up 60 to show for it. So, um, you know, red zone capitalization, settling for field goals, again, I don't know if any of them were settling. I don't know, even in hindsight, if I would have necessarily gone for it on fourth down any of those, I guess, look, I guess hindsight's 20, 20, go for it on fourth down, maybe, maybe you get one of them. Maybe you don't, you're still up seven instead of just six O, um, so maybe, I mean, maybe, uh, knowing how it went, yeah, sure, I would have gone for it on fourth down, being crazy, of course, uh, anything to butterfly effect change that game. Um, but yeah, I was disappointed that, that, you know, once that interception happened, it, it, it was game over for sure. All right, we will keep it rolling, keep it rolling here. Um, I was thinking I'd just roll through all of these real super quick and it, it would be, uh, right at 30 minutes. It won't be, that's all right. That's all right. If you're listening to this, you're real bonehead. Thank you very much. All right. Um, we got three from Alex Brown, number one, do I think it's time to lower expectations for the season? Maybe eight and four is what we should be shooting for? No, no, no, no, no, definitely not, definitely not, um, look, it was a disappointing loss. I don't think BYU's anything special, but look, we, we thought that about Tulane. We thought that about Missouri, even though Missouri, we ended up going eight and four. Um, we've been disappointed before and teams turned out to be a lot better than we thought they were going to be. Um, this team is still capable of getting to Arlington, uh, losing a game early that, that definitely puts you behind the eight ball. You, you are going to have to chase for a few weeks, you know, it, it definitely didn't make it easy. But look, I, I think if you were to run all the numbers, I think K-State is going to be a favorite in every single game, except for maybe Iowa State on the road. And by then at that point in the season, who, who really knows, um, but look, we're a six, six, seven point favorite versus Oklahoma State, you know, I, I still think West Virginia is, is donkey. I mean, they were able to squeak off a window. Like I said, I think they could start spiraling. Uh, Colorado got super lucky to beat Baylor. Uh, I think, I think UCF's going to take care of them down at the bounce house. Um, I, I really, I really believe that, uh, as long as you went on Saturday, the opportunity to reel off a bunch of wins, uh, before the next bi week, you know, you get three more games you get your next bi week and then look at that point, you got four games, um, down the stretch, Houston, uh, Cincinnati, Arizona State, and then you got pharma get an absolute massive one, uh, the Saturday after Thanksgiving. So, uh, look, I, I, I, I'm no, if we go eight and four, I'll, I'll be, I'll be very disappointed. Um, the next one, what needs to change on offense to beat Oklahoma State next Saturday? Just score touchdowns when you get to the red zone. And I think the rest is going to take care of itself. I really think it's just, uh, you know, get into the red zone. That's, that's been the disappointment, you know, we've kicked a few too many field goals this year. Um, and I really think as long as you get into the end zone, everything else will, when you get to the red zone, everything else will take care of business. Again, um, what, how many times did we get to the red zone? Hold on. I, I should have looked this up and it's honestly, it's because I don't want to go look into any more detail about this game. Um, but, but I'm going to try to pull it up. So case States drives field goal. We got all the way down to the BYU 12 BYU 12. We get the penalty, um, and then we end up having to kick the field goal. The next field goal, we get all the way down to the BYU eight, have to kick a field goal. The fumble interception end of half interception, three and out field goal. So the next field goal, we get all the way down to the BYU one yard line BYU one yard line. No touching. I have to go for a field goal. The next drive we get, we don't get anywhere, get to the 39. Next drive, we get to the BYU 33, so almost to the red zone. Um, so again, just, just scoring touchdowns when you get to the red zone. I mean, that's 21 points. I mean, maybe one of those downs, uh, you know, when, when you get to the BYU 30, whatever, uh, maybe you kick a field goal all of a sudden that, that could be 24 points. I don't know. Just scored touchdowns when you get to the red zone and that fixes a lot of things. The next one, number three, how do I think K-State handled, uh, the loss or how do I handle K-State losses? I handle them terribly and throw a fit. That's what Alex said. I get really depressed. I, I, I left when the punt return happened, um, was trying to get back to Airbnb. Had a early flights, um, which was horrible, but I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna do first world problems about complaining about flights on this podcast, at least not today, maybe another time. Um, so I left, I, I, I just leet left, um, I, I soaked. Um, I used to, uh, like that 2020 season, I remember, uh, getting like a dozen wings from the peanut and just binge eating, uh, buffalo wings and blue cheese. I, I, I mainly just pout and I'm just in a bad mood. I, I don't get outwardly angry. I don't break things, but I just pout. I just pout on sad, sad boy hours, uh, fire off a couple tweets, um, but I don't handle them well. Definitely not like an emotionally mature person when K-State loses. All right. Uh, we'll, we'll keep moving on, but before we do, we'll give a shout out to our friends over at Charlie Hussle. Uh, let's look up the weather, uh, for Saturday because I am gambling. I'm hoping that it is going to be my favorite type of weather, which is crew neck sweatshirt with shorts, daily in Manhattan, Saturday, high of 80 low, 56. Look, look, that might be stretching it a little bit for the crew neck and shorts, but I'm going to do it anyways. You can't stop me. Nobody can stop me. I'm going to be rocking my Charlie Hussle crew neck sweatshirt. I have like seven of them at this point and some shorts at the K-State game. I'm going to be looking good. I'm going to be feeling good. I'm going to be cheering good. They have all sorts of great stuff, officially licensed, uh, and they have some great Kansas City area stuff as well. Get over to Charlie Hussle, vintage made fresh. Plus, look, we'll have another giveaway in October, uh, they're absolutely the best when it comes to hooking up the bone heads with some great merch. Check it out, CharlieHussle.com. They're always dropping some cool stuff. All right. Um, the next one, we got Strawny. He just says it's overcast. It's not overcast. I mean, the weather might be, but it is not over. Things are not over. I promise you. All right. We got some from Mark who's coming through as the MVP here. He goes, is there anything in particular I want to hear from the coaches or players in media availability about how they are handling this game? No, first off, I'm not going to watch anything from post game. Um, I'm, I, I will not, I will not watch anything from post game. Uh, Chris Klimans already had his, um, Monday press conference. Uh, the players had their availability. I haven't watched any of that yet. I'll watch that before the game preview episode that I'll record tomorrow or today as you guys are listening. Um, no, there's nothing. Look, um, I don't care what they say to the media. It's about them taking accountability inside the locker room. I don't want them to say, oh, no, we, we just burned the tape. No, I want, I want it seared into their head. Um, because they are so much better team than that. I don't want them to throw, throw out the game, take no, I want it seared into their brains. Um, and I want them to take that and I want them to improve. So I don't care what they say to, you know, the public as long as they're taking care of business inside the locker room. Next one from Mark. Is this how all teams, uh, felt after us beating them, um, when they outgained us and still losing by multiple scores because of turnovers and special teams? Um, probably, but I feel like this one's like, what, I feel like this is even worse than what we did, did the teams. I mean, what there's one of those years under Snyder, maybe it was 2014 that seemed like every single game, um, day, uh, I feel like we did this like every single game. So, um, yeah, I mean, maybe, I don't know, I feel like this is worse than anything we did to anyone else, but it sucks. It really sucks. I mean, we had a better net success rate. We had more yard. Oh gosh. I hate recording after losses. See I'm not very emotionally mature. Um, how much of the passing woes are on Avery, how much are on wide receiver drops? I'd like to see better deep ball touch, but he seems to put a good amount of passes and very catchable spots. I mean, I, I think it's a little bit on both deep balls could be better. There are some drops, but ultimately I think drawing defensive backs and linebackers towards the line of scrimmage, I'm going to give more, uh, you know, of their minds space to Avery, possibly taking off and running would open things up in the passing game, but I'm just a, uh, I'm just a podcaster, but some of the drops have been pretty bad. Next one from Mark. Are we seeing the same thing with Avery and running as we did with Adrian Martinez and not turning it over feels like he's been coached so much, not to run that they're not letting his instincts, uh, take over. Uh, I don't know. I don't know if this is the coaches. I don't know if this is Avery not wanting to run. Um, I don't, I don't know where it's at, but it needs to stop whatever the, whatever the thing is needs to stop. He needs to just take off, run when he sees spaces. We need to call running place for him. It will open everything up. Um, hell, we saw it in the arc or in the Arizona game. Um, what's the deal with garber, garber and seagull. They don't seem to be on the same page. It leads to coverage breakdowns. Uh, there was one of those that seemed like something was just off, um, on one of the two play touchdown drives after turnovers. Um, I don't know. I don't know. I thought it was fixed after the Arizona game, but, um, some pretty, some pretty bad mistakes. Uh, are the pre snap penalties something to be concerned with going forward or was the atmosphere causing a lot of them? Uh, I'm sure that had something to do with it. Atmosphere. Um, the snowball of momentum. Uh, we'll see what things look like for so close to stay and see what they look like versus Colorado. Uh, if they're still around, that's when I am pressing the panic button. I think that's the last one from Mark shots and Mark, you're the best. We got Kyle next based on our performance versus BYU. What is my biggest concern with this team heading into the game versus Oklahoma state? Really, really, it's just going to come down to, can they get the momentum rolling for them? And if they don't, how are they going to handle it? That's really all it came down to. You know, it was three, four, if you want to count the punt return, four absolutely massive mistakes that, uh, usually don't happen. Uh, and it was the snowball of momentum. Um, it could have gone a different way. This was not us getting our ass kicked. This was us metaphorically taking a shotgun and shooting off every appendage that we had. Um, so look, if, if we face adversity at home versus Oklahoma state and we crumble, um, I'll be concerned. I will, I will melt down. I will have a different tone when talking about this team. Um, but right now, I mean, look, I, I think of the defense. It's does what they've been doing again. You know, the, the score line doesn't look great, but what? There's one drive, well, BYU had one driver. They did anything that didn't already start in case state territory, um, and the offense showed signs. I don't know. I don't know. I just, I just want to see them handle it. First, I would like them not to deal with adversity at home versus Oklahoma state, but if they do, I just, they just need to handle it better. This is the worst Q and A episode I've ever done. Paracat Ryan, having 10 bad things happen in one game is better than one bad thing happening in 10 games. Right? Yes. 100%. We got two more. We got Brian and Abe to close us off. Well, Chris Klimann ever have a season, uh, that one game, uh, without one game where we look like Bishop Sycamore, look, look, you're not wrong. There's typically one game where it's just ugly. It's just bad. They look horrible and you can't really explain it, but that's college football. It's not a Chris Klimann problem. It's not a case state problem. This is just what happens when you have 18 to, I guess now it's like 25 year olds playing sports versus other 18 to 25 or in the case of BYU 32 year olds playing a sport. Sometimes you're going to be on sometimes you're going to be off and sometimes when you're off, they capitalize like crazy and it happens. It's not a Chris Klimann problem. It's not a case state problem. This is just what happens in college football. Um, and then the final ones from Abe, uh, did that kid become intimate with the beefy five layer burrito yet? Look, when that went through for like, I kind of made a joke. I made some jokes myself, uh, on Saturday, but guys don't try to go viral by saying if case it loses, I'm going to do this. Ben has have any of those tweets ever gone viral on the team one. Just don't do it. All right. That's all we have. Tomorrow is going to be better, granted. I'm sure there's lots of questions about the BYU game and press availability. So we'll touch on it a little bit, but really I just want to start talking about Oklahoma State, worrying about Oklahoma State, get that winning, then get to the bye week.
