A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. The Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts, elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant doors meant by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure.

You know, it's the intro, the sound, the thing, the song, the college football function. You know the voice by now, right? It is CM, aka cousin Mike, aka CM Funk, aka Mr. Perfect. aka Mr. aka, aka Professor CM, aka Mr. Steelio Grandma. Just a host that knows the most about that NCAA, that college football action. Here with another hardcore banger, you know, jam-packed episode for you Funkeys. Week seven has just concluded I'm here with the review show, of course, of said week, that is the seventh week. Technically the eighth week of college football with week zero. It's crazy to think, you know, we're getting into the second week of October. And I just had my anniversary, by the way, for this show to be exact. I think it was the eighth. So last Wednesday, last Tuesday, something like that. It was my two-year anniversary when I started this little section, this one little segment of the college football function that, you know, Mike had thought up of and, you know, he had this vision, you know, when his head a long time ago of, you know, branching out and doing, you know, a fantasy football function, a college football function, you know, hopefully the betting thing was on his mind as well. And he knew I was a college football junkie. You know, there's a college football fans and then there's college football fanatics. Okay, sorry about that. Trash truck was coming around. So thought I could kind of, you know, delay it a little bit and was like, bye. But I just paused it, sorry about that. I have no idea what I was talking about. We're perfectly honest with you. Oh yeah, my anniversary. Yeah, and how this came along, it was just like a little, you know, an hour show, you know, for the two shows a week, you know, the preview show and the review show were, you know, about 30 minutes apiece. Had a lot of bumps and bruises and lumps in between. And, you know, it's kind of crazy. I don't suggest going back and listening to those old shows from two years ago. I'm probably up to over 200 myself. I'm not real sure. But I feel like I've grown a lot and I feel I'm the right person to do the job. I mean, I hope Mike and Terry and everybody else a part of the family of football function and I say family, 'cause I truly mean it. I'm in my home. You know, I'm in my comfort zone. You know, it's when, you know, you can feel like that whenever it's your job. You know, you've been doing a job for a while and you have your strengths, you have your weaknesses, but you have, when you settle down, when you really hunker in to do something, you feel at ease and comfort and you're just there. I feel like that for college football. I feel like give you enough and, you know, try not to overwhelm you, you guys. I never try to feel like I'm talking down to you guys or dumb it down for you guys. 'Cause I always said like the four, I think it was the preview show. I feel football fans are very smart, very educated. Football's a complicated game. I truly think so. It's got a lot going on with penalties and, you know, so much with coverages and formations and stuff. It's a hard game to learn too. So just I'm happy for myself, I'm happy for the brand. I'm happy that we're, you know, as far as we've come and yet it's still as far as we can go. I'm not perfect, never have I claimed to be perfect, but I feel at home doing this show. I really do. Do I always am excited to hit the record button or do this homework? Oh, of course not, I mean, you know, sometimes it's a chore. Sometimes you just ain't quite feeling it, whether you're sick or, you know, allergies or you're just tired, you know, a personal problem so on and so forth. But I feel I give you everything I got. Every single show. So I hope you guys are enjoying it. Please continue to promote. We are here, like I said, of course, with the week seven review, a dandy, dandy of a weekend. Football in general, you know, with NFL as well. And it always starts, you know, Thursday night with some college football sometimes and then you'll have of course the Thursday night game on prime with the NFL and it leans into Friday and then of course Saturday is all day fair, you know, starts at 11 o'clock at night and it might not end till Sunday in the morning. So all right, let's go through it. Shall we the 10th? Started it for you guys. That was last Thursday. This was a sun-built competition that featured the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers coming in four and one, heading to Pennsylvania to play JMU, the Dukes who come in with the exact same record at four and one. And kind of like I said in the previous show, you know, with the spread, with JMU favored by nine and a half, JMU losing, you know, to Louisiana Monroe the week before. You know, I feel like they got their bearings right, you know, they got back to their roots and figured out, hey, 19 points isn't enough to beat some teams and they came out and they played very well, 39 to seven as the final score in favor of the Dukes. Coastal Carolina scores, zero points. Second, third and fourth quarters, you know, them being four and one, was it JMU's defense that was just making the Chanticleers just bumfounded or was it the offense just did just enough to, you know, flip the field on the Chanticleers, you know, keep them at bad field advantage. Sure, could be, didn't get to watch it, but a good win for JMU. Good bounce back game for Alonzo Barnett the third, you know, that quarterback, you know, I've spoke of his praises. You know, a few times on this show, he's the star, the star is the drink man, for sure, absolutely. He goes 16 of 28, 199 yards and three touchdowns. I mean, that's it right there. If he doesn't have a good game, JMU don't win. I mean, that's what it comes down to. It's quarterback play, it's the same in NFL. I mean, you can get away with having a good defense and, you know, some good running backs, good coaching, but in order to get ultimately where you want to get, and that's, you know, a conference championship that's winning 9-10 games, potentially going to the college football playoff, you got to have a good quarterback play and Alonzo Barnett the third is the guy. Good win, JMU covers the nine and a half points spread. Over and on this one was 61 and a half, so it ends up being in under. Good win for JMU puts them at five and one. You know, still in that conference hunt of the Sunbelts, there's a lot of good teams. You know, two divisions, you don't see that a lot. Nowadays in some college football conferences, but Sunbelts still does it. He's got Louisiana Monroe, got a leg up, a little bit on JMU. It seems like Georgia Southern, there's still some really good teams in Sunbelts, so that conference is looking really thick. Moving on, let's move on to the Friday night game. Watch this game, it was amazing, that was the 11th. This is a 9-30 kick on ESPN. This was a big 12 battle, featured the 16th ranked team in the country, the Utah Utes, four and one, heading to Tempe to play the Arizona State Sun Devils who come in at exactly the same record at four and one as well. And the underdogs win the Sun Devils. They win 27 to 19. Utah does not cover the spread. They were almost seven point favorite, so of course they do not cover the spread over under on. This one was 45 and a half, so it ends up just being a slight over. This Arizona State team is a fun team to watch. Wasn't a fun team to watch a couple of weeks ago when it came down to Lovec, a very tough hard-fought game that ultimately my Red Raiders won. It's a good team, a very good team. They are proving doubters wrong every single week. They're proving pre-season rankings to be bullshit. Every single week it seems like with the likes of BYU as well. They have a great running back as well. He goes by the name of Cam Scataboe, and that is right, Pam Scataboe, the running back for those Sun Devils. He rushed the ball 22 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns. It was his game. This is a Utah team that used to pride themselves on defense. Their coaching staff was very, very well accomplished. Donald Whittingham has been there for a long time. I can't remember how long he has been there, but he has been there quite a long time. Probably even his tenure might be even old enough to drink. Let's just say that. At least old enough to vote. How about that? And they always play good defense. They take what you do good and they take it away. Kind of like a Bill Belichick type coach that finds your strength and he turns it against you and makes you have to beat him another way. And Scataboe just said, "Hey, just give me the damn ball, man." And this is a huge running back. This is a guy I hope is an upperclassman. Love to see him go into the draft process. He reminded us he's not quite a Mike Allstott. Mike Allstott was just a freak of nature. I think the two Sykes, six, three, six, two, six, three, two, four, 40, but could run out of four, five, 40. I mean, the dude was... A message paid for by veterans for all voters.

You know, he's a get stronger as the game gets better or he gets stronger as the game gets longer type running back. You know, those Derek Henry style guys that the more he gets carries, the more he plows into you, the harder it is to tackle him, and the more he fills your fear. You know, he feeds on you being scared to tackle him, type runner, and I love that about running back. Good win, you know, good upset win, starting, you know, a great, you know, weekend of football, so good win for Arizona State, puts them at five and one. Definitely sends Utah on a tumble. This is a team that, including their fan base, felt like they were going to, you know, just walk into the big 12 and they were just going to be given a ticket, you know, to Jerry's World in Dallas in December to play for the big 12 championship. I mean, not talking ill of the pack 12, but the big 12 is very proud. It's a very proud conference. Yes, we lost the two big boys. Everybody knows who the are by now. It's Texas and know you. But we want to take these teams in, but yet show them, hey, you're not going to walk into our conference week one and just expect to win the conference every single year. You know, we have pride. And they're losing to teams that came with them. They haven't lost to any old big 12 teams yet. Their quarterback situation is muddy at best. Their defense hasn't seemed to be showing up. This is a team that I'm not officially putting out of the conference championship talk, but I'm still, I'm happy for Arizona State. You know, anytime your team beats somebody, you hope that team keeps winning because that makes your win look good. You know, I'm rooting for Arizona State every time they play now, I'm rooting for Arizona every time they play now, because it looks good on my park, you know, being a Red Raider. So good win for them. You know, good win for the big 12 as well. Let's get into the Saturday slate, shall we? This one started, of course, 11 a.m. on the C. Dove. This was an ACC battle, Georgia Tech, 4-2, going to Chapel Hill to play the North Carolina Tar Heels, a reeling 3-3 record team. And you know, the favorite wins, and that was the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. 41 to 34, Georgia Tech was favored by five and a half, so they cover over under on this one was 58 and a half, so it ends up being an over. Kind of ugly, I was switching from this one to, you know, some of the other games I had going on at the time, and that's, the crowd was scarce, to say the least. You know, I think as I was saying, you know, that I've been talking about North Carolina the past couple of weeks, it's kind of a dumpster fire there. I think that team's either not very good or coaching's not very good. And when you start watching football games and the crowds are kind of thin, and certain times of the game, the crowd gets even thinner, you could tell that those, that fan base is kind of giving up. And it's an all too familiar sight, to be honest, and I think all signs are pointing towards, you know, Matt Brown being Lego at some point in time. Maybe he has enough respect, you know, in North Carolina that they've already had a conversation with him and, you know, they say, "Hey, we're gonna let you go "at the end of the year anyway. "I don't think we're gonna fire you, "let's just get through this year, "and you can retire at the end of the year." But either way, you're not going to be on the sideline next year. I just don't see anything from that team. You know, this is a team that was competed last year. You know, they have been competing in the ACC the past couple of years. They just don't have it this year. So good win. And it was all, you know, running for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They rushed the ball 48 total times. This was between, you know, quarterbacks and running backs for 371 yards on the ground. I mean, that is, you know, triple option. You know, that is, you know, Navy type numbers, that is old school, grind it out, type football. You know, take the time of possession, flip it on its head, limit, you know, plays on, you know, the other side for North Carolina, and just beat them on the ground and bludgeon them, make that defense tired. Five rushing touchdowns as well. That just shows you, you, if you can run the ball on somebody, you own them. I mean, anybody can go and just throw for 500 yards on some teams. It's very common in the college football game now, as it was 20 years ago, maybe even long ago with, you know, Houston, and that running gun style, and then all the way to air rate. But it takes some special players to rush the ball for almost 400 yards in a game. I mean, that's, that's. When I enlisted in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party.

Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles is not in plan endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. You want to talk about, I asked you and you know, later in that day or an enduring film study. You know, that's just, that's just crazy, but good win for Georgia Tech. You know, it still kind of keeps them, you know, hanging around in the ACC. That's definitely a team you do not want to play because it just shows you right there almost 400 rushing yards as a team, you do not want to play at any given time. It just puts them at five and two and sends North Carolina to a woeful three and four. This is another 11 AM kick. This one was on Fox. This was another, this was actually a Big 10 battle. Sorry, this was the Washington Huskies. You dub coming in four and two. Heading on up to Kinnick Stadium to play the Iowa Hawkeyes who come in three and two. And the old Big 10 gets a win on the new Big 10. You know, Washington with that. You know, just great game that they just played not too long ago with upsetting Michigan, I want to say. Just kind of fell back to Earth. You know, this Iowa team that got just shellacked by Ohio State the week before, I think it was like 35 to seven. You know, something along those lines. They came back and they said, hey, welcome to our field. You know, we're going to inflict our wheel on you guys. And Caleb Johnson gets the game ball, the running back for these Hawkeyes. He rests about 21 times for 166 yards to touchdowns. Good game, 40 to 16. The final score. Iowa was favored by two and a half, easily covered. Over and around this one was 42 and a half. So it ends up being an over. Just good win. You know, like I said, Iowa plays different at home. They just confused Washington. I mean, Will Rogers did not look good. I just chalked it up to Iowa playing at home. You know, getting humbled the week before knowing, you know, yeah, you're playing one of the best teams in the country and the Buckeyes at their house. Yeah, Iowa doesn't seem to have consecutive bad weeks. They're just too well coached of a team. I mean, they really, really are. Good win for Iowa since then to four and two. Since Washington Huskies, the reigning defending runners up to four and three. Another 11M kick on ESPNU. This was a Mac battle. Features the Toledo Rockets, four and one. My pick to win that conference this year. Going on down to Buffalo to play the Bulls and the Bulls, the home team, get the win. 30 to 15, Toledo was favored nine and a half points. They do not cover. Over on this one, it's 44 and a half. So it ends up being an over, just barely by point. Yeah, this one, of course it was on my, you know, preview sheet just because it had Toledo. It had a Buffalo team that's been surprising. You know, it has has reeled off some good wins here and they're, you know, still up there, up there still competing in the Mac and just since Toledo to another, you know, loss and just going to make their road, you know, to the Mac Championship just that much harder. So Bulls player of the game, they're quarterback. CJ Ogbona, I hope I said his name right. He goes three total touchdowns and he has two of those on the ground. So, you know, take 21 points off the board and you know, these Bulls do not beat Toledo. Just good win. I didn't get a chance to watch that game, do not have ESPNU, but from everything I saw, you know, Buffalo owned those Toledo Rockets. Kept those Rockets stayed on the ground and not let those Rockets get in flight with only 15 points scored by Toledo. Buffalo scores, 30, good 15 point win for Buffalo, keeps them in the hunt for the Mac. 2.30 kick on ESPN. This was an ACC battle featured the Cal Bears three and two, heading on up to Pittsburgh to play the newly ranked 20 second team in the country. Undefeated five and O on the year, hosting these Cal Bears and Pitt gets the win by a small margin 17 to 15. Pitt was favored by three and a half, do not cover. Over on her on this one was 59 and a half. Ends up being a huge under, of course, with only, you know, 32 points scored. 'Cause, I mean, I put this on the preview show 'cause I liked what Cal showed me the week before, you know, welcoming in the hurricanes, gave them everything they wanted and not gonna lie, probably should have beat the hurricanes that night. And then I'm going to Pitt, I know if they played, you know, 75, 85, 90% of what they played against, the hurricanes the week before. Pittsburgh was in for a fight and it ended up being exactly, like I said, 17 to 15. Quarter back for the pit panthers, Desmond Reed. Oh, sorry, running back. I did not get Ramon handwriting. Rest of all, 16 times for 120 yards and scores, the two touchdowns that they needed to win the game. Let's see here. Scoreless, I mean, golly, after the first quarter. I mean, that's just ugly, you know, it is what it is, but, you know, you get those 17 to 15 type games, the 14s, the sevens, the 21, 20 type games. You see it a lot more often sometimes in the, you know, the big 10, ACC. You know, a big 12, SEC, not so much, but that's just, you know, iron sharpening iron. You know, no one really has a leg up on each other. There's not a whole lot of big plays. You know, the player of the game was, you know, the running back for a pit. And, you know, he scores the only two touchdowns, you know, all pit scores. So, you know, it is what it is. Good win for pit. Since then to six, no, they're already bolt eligible on the year. Moving on, this is another 230 kick. This was on ABC, this was the Red River rivalry game. Each of the number one team in the country, the Texans, Longhorns. Technically, they'll have a visitor playing the 18th ranked Oklahoma Sooners 4-1, playing the home team as the 18th ranked team in the country. I know I've built this game up so much. The Red River rivalry is up there. I have it as my actual, my number three best rivalry game. And a lot of people will probably say even Mike would probably argue with me about this, that it should be a better rivalry game than Army Navy. I just think Army Navy is just a little bit better just because it's a standalone game. You know, it's just a high. It's hard to compare. Oh, I mean, it really is, but top three is nothing to frown upon, but this one just kind of didn't live up to the hype. You know, I figured with Oklahoma, having the gold hat last year, what it took a little bit more pride this year, trying to go after the number one team in the country, which they ended up doing win. And of course, the Texas Longhorns 34-3, you know, blowout fashion. Didn't look good for Quinn Ewers early. I figured, you know, Oklahoma would throw the first punch early and often, Oklahoma just has just looked a little off, you know, the past couple of weeks, you know, two weeks ago, you know, kind of hanging in there against Tennessee. Tennessee gets the win playing Auburn. I think it was last week. And Auburn winning, you know, three and a half quarters of that game. And it took, you know, a pick six towards the end of that game and for them to beat Auburn and Jordan Hare, just as Oklahoma team is just not quite there yet. Don't, not sure what they need to push them over the hump. I just figured with that hate factor, you know, with, you know, your absolute rival on the other side of the stadium, you know, with the one tunnel, so on and so forth that Oklahoma would come out and, you know, at least score touchdown. I mean, at least look like you belong. I mean, I'm not bashing Oklahoma as much as I probably should. I credit this game more to Texas. I know the hate factor is there, but Texas lost last year. You don't want to lose two in a row. You know, you really don't. So especially against your hated rival, you had to win 34 to three. You know, welcome back, Quinn, you were, you know, a guy that was definitely being talked about in the Heisman talk, you know, up until a couple of weeks ago. And I probably wouldn't have rolled with him. You know, I was texting some Longhorn fans during this game. And I said, man, I would have rolled with arch-manning until, you know, he showed me, he can't handle it or, you know, throws a couple of interceptions, fumble, so on and so forth, which isn't quite up to snuff. You don't want to just throw Quinn, you were just out to the wolves. His first game back after not playing for three weeks against the Oklahoma Sooners, you know? And the first couple of drives he just looked off, you know, missed a wide open touchdown. I want to say it was Isaiah Bond. Underthrows, overthrows, he just didn't look quite it, but he settled himself back down, you know, just kind of like a really good five-star quarterback does. Goes 20 of 29, 199 yards and a touchdown, and then chips in a rush touchdown as well. Good, good game for Quinn, you know, good game for the Longhorns, good game for their defense. This starts a streak. You know, I'm not going to be able to talk ill of the Texas Longhorns very long. This was a great win for the Longhorns. I absolutely will, you know, give them a pat on the back. They will get, you know, some sort of love from CM as much as I hate to do it. I still have to be bipartisan. I have to say, hey, that is a great team. But they're streak, they have a streak coming. You know, they have to play the Georgia Bulldogs next week. You know, week eight, I'm pretty sure that'll be on my week eight preview show, I have no fear, and then they got Vanderbilt. You know, the Kings of college football after that. So I'm not real sure how their schedule works after, you know, around Halloween time, so on and so forth. But now their schedule starts getting tough. You know, they're not playing the Louisiana Monroe's and the Jobo states and the Northeast Southwest Tech anymore. You know, it is SEC time and you have to play the schedule in front of you. It's just kind of unfortunate for Oklahoma this year. They got the short end of the stick going into the SEC. You know, everybody talks about I, especially me, Florida, came into, you know, this 2020 season as the hardest schedule in all the college football. But not far behind him was the Oklahoma Sooners, man. They've already played Tennessee, Auburn, and now Texas. You know, this is a tough schedule and that's only gonna get tougher. You know, absolutely, it's a good win, but Texas Bowl Eligible gets them one step closer to their ultimate goal and that is winning the SEC year one and going back to the playoff 'cause it feels like they have unfinished business. They felt like they should have played in the national championship last year. They just didn't quite get over the hump. That was a different Washington team last year and it just is what it is, but good win for Texas. And Oklahoma, you know, four and two is not bad, especially with as tough as that first half of this schedule was for the Sooners. You know, eight to nine wins. There's nothing to hang your hat on. I know it's not up to Oklahoma standards. You know, 10 wins is a, that's the low. You know, that's as low as it gets. You know, if you're a student or friend, but good win. Like I said, for Texas in Oklahoma, you'll be fine. No problems. 230 kick on CBS, this was a big 10 battle featured the undefeated Penn State Nittany lines, the fourth ranked team in the country making a cross-country trip to California to play USC in LA, the three and two Trojans. And the undefeated team, the number four team in the country gets the dub 33 to 30 in overtime. Penn State does not cover the spread. They were five and a half point favorites. And it ended up being an over 'cause it was a 50 and a half over under. - A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former army infantryman and ranger qualified platoon leader active in the army reserves. - When I enlisted in the army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party.

I'll put it on the preview show. Just because I haven't counted out USC yet. I like Miller Moss. I like some other players, like Aria Branch. Leacon Riley is still up there as one of the most interesting strategic coaches out there. He puts great players on the field. He gets good players that just can't quite hang with the likes of some of the big boys in the big 10 this year. I predicted it. That's why I didn't do SC. Schedule breakdown. I just didn't see them having enough firepower and enough familiarity with their pretty much new team. They lost a lot last year. I mean, some teams rebuild, some teams relook. But Penn State looked good, 33-30, the overtime win. Drew Aller gets a player of the game, 30 for 43, 391. Two touchdowns, but it does bother me. He did throw three interceptions. That's not Penn State football. I chalk that up to USC's defense. I did say that in the preview show. I'm pretty sure that they were good enough to make Penn State have to change it up a little bit. Penn State likes to have their two running backs. They like to give them 15-20 carries each. Make Drew only throw. Let me see here. 30 times. Make him throw 30 times and go 20 of 30. Drew Aller threw the ball 43 times. That is not his game. I know he has a competent quarterback, good arm. Good between the ears. He's very accurate. But that's not his strength. His strength is playing game manager. And I know it doesn't hurt how he pulls feelings at all. But that's just the kind of quarterback he is. That's not the kind of offense Penn State likes to run, where they're comfortable at running it. That's the way I should say it. I play Smash Mount Football. Keep it away from high-flying USC. That's why it was such a close game. But I'm not too worried about Penn State. I put them at 6-0. Still have their whole schedule in front of them. I do believe they finally get that Michigan monkey off their back this year. Can't wait to see when they play them, to be honest. It's just, hey, you've got a certain team in Ohio working very, very soon. And it's going to be a little pissed off Ohio State to be perfectly honest with you. So I think a 10-win season, 11-win season is still in play. Just don't lose. Those games are supposed to win. Don't pull a Penn State. Don't do what everybody expects you to do and choke against a Nebraska or an Indiana or someone along those lines of Rutgers. You're supposed to beat those teams. You're supposed to beat USC as well. Just when you play against the top, you need to play well. And don't beat by 21. I still think this is a great team. A team is comfortably under the radar. And as crazy as that sounds, the fourth ranked team in the country is under the radar. George is being talked more about, Bama's being talked more about, Ohio State's being talked more about. And of course, the Texas Longhorns are being more talked about than Penn State. Let them talk about those teams. You stay under the radar for as long as possible. Wait until you're 8-0, 9-0, until you play somebody really, really good, then we'll see how good you are. So good game by Penn State, 33-30, and overtime over USC. This is a 3PM kick on Fox. This was a big 12 battle, featured the Arizona Wildcats coming in 3-2, heading to Provo to play the 14th ranked. BYU Cougars undefeated 5-0 on the season. And the under-fated team. The team with the little number next to them gets the win, blowout, fashion, 41-19. BYU was 5-1/2 point favorites. Over on this one was 49-1/2, so it ends up being an over. This game goes to BYU's defense. They force Arizona into four turnovers. I don't have points off turnovers for those. They could have scored 28 of those four turnovers. But typically, when you see a tilt like that, as many turnovers as four, that is a reason to lose the game for Arizona. This was an Arizona team that only managed one touchdown the week before against Texas Tech, picked a whole lot of field goals against Texas Tech, and just Tech Tech just outscored them. I mean, that's just it. Tech Tech should have lost that game. The turnover battle was pretty close, but the turnover battle flipped on its head. I guess the BYU Cougars, who are getting a lot of love, are getting a whole lot of eyes. That limelight is getting brighter and brighter, or if you are a BYU Cougar fan. And it's no disrespect. How long can they ride this train? How long can they stay on this bullet train? I should say that's going faster and faster and faster every single week. The expectations are getting higher and higher every single week. It's them. Iowa State and Texas Tech are leading the Big 12 right now, undefeated, 3-0 in the conference. A message paid for by veterans for all voters. Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army Infantryman and Ranger-qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlisted in the Army, I sworn oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens' ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. All right, so good win. Like I said, I'm impressed. I really am. The more I pay attention to the BYU Cougars, the more I say what were these people thinking when they put BYU at 15 or 16 in the conference, 15th or 16th, and I'm not even kidding. They put Arizona State at like 14, something like that. And that's a five-in-one team in the Sun Devils. Just shows you, do not believe the preseason hoop law, whether it's rankings or whether it's conference rankings, don't believe it, you know, any year, teams like BYU come out of the woodwork, teams like Vanderbilt come out of the woodwork, and they surprise you. And sometimes in the best ways, and sometimes they surprise you any bad way. You know, just look at Florida State. There's one end of the spectrum, just like there is the opposite end of the spectrum. So as long as you're on that end and not that end, you're all right. But good win for BYU puts them both eligible. That's six and oh, 41 and 19 over Arizona. It's in Arizona to three and three too. That's just definitely wasn't expecting that out of the Wildcats from Arizona. Six PM kick on ESPN. This was an SEC match. Feature the Florida Gators who come in three and two, heading to Rocky Top, Knoxville, Tennessee, to play the eighth ranked volunteers. Come in four and one. The higher ranked seed, you know, the team with the number next to them gets the win. Close fought though, 20, 30, 17 in overtime. I'm very worried about this Tennessee team. This is a Tennessee team that about, I'd probably say about a month ago, looked really, really good. They looked really, really good. I think they should have beat Oklahoma by a little bit more. You know, of course, you know, losing, getting upset to Arkansas, not too long ago as well. This is a Tennessee team that's just kind of limping. They're just, yeah, yeah, they're getting it done, but do they look like a top 10 team? I mean, I say no. I mean, I honestly don't know. I mean, yeah, I know the pressure gets big. You know, the line might get brighter and hotter. You know, so on and so forth. But man, that Florida team should have won this game. I mean, 23 to 17 in overtime. I mean, in Knoxville, a place where statistically Tennessee probably wins 75% of their games. If you look up their home, you know, record, so on and so forth. But Tennessee was favored by 15 and a half. Do not get the cover over under on this one. It's 55 and a half ends up being an under. Florida was up three to zero on this Tennessee team at half. This is a Tennessee team that hasn't been looking very good for weeks now. You know, for, you know, two weeks ago, if they didn't look good and then they looked good last week, I would say, ah, you know, that's just a fluke. But this is three weeks in a row that Tennessee has just kind of been lame to start the game, kind of down at halftime, just kind of going through the motions almost. Like not looking like the number I top 10 ranked team should book. I think it's SEC bias to be perfectly honest with you. I hate to be that kind of person. I mean, Alabama was the number one team in the country and they only fell six spots to an unranked Vanderbilt. I mean, if if that was a big 12 team, they would knock the number one team in the country to number 26. They're not going to completely get out of the top 25. And if I'm lying, I'm dying. That's all I got to say about that. But player of the game, the running back for Dylan, for Tennessee, sorry, Dylan Sampson carries fall 27 times for 112 yards and three touchdowns pretty much, you know, puts though that Tennessee team on his shoulders and on his back takes them to the promised land. That is a dub puts them at five and one. Sends the Florida Gators to a respectable three and three. I think this is a Florida Gators team that should only have one, maybe two, you know, wins on their on their list right now to be perfectly honest with you. They are out performing, over performing, you know, the three and three Florida looks a lot better than a three and three Arizona right now. This three and three Florida team looks better than a three and three USC right now. I mean, you can ask anybody how I'd put them, if Florida and Utah played tomorrow, I pulled for Florida. I think Florida would win. And that was a preseason top 10 ranked team in Utah. So I like what they're doing. They're still fighting there. They, I think they want to keep Billy Napier. They do not want him to be fired. You can get the best, you know, recruit, you know, the best recruits, the best coaches. And if it don't pan out, it's set your franchise back. I mean, it really does, man. And who's to say that's the right hire? You know, I could take another couple of years and then you have to fire that person again and then you got to start all over. That could send your program into mediocrity for a long time. But I like what they're doing. Still, Tennessee gets to win 5-1, 23-17 in overtime. 6-30 kick on NBC. This is a big 10 battle. This is the game of the week. Featured the number two team in the country, the Ohio State Buckeyes, 5-0, heading to Eugene, Oregon to play the 5-0 third ranked team in the country, the Oregon Ducks. And the home team gets the upset 32-31. Ohio State was favored by three and a half. They do not cover over under on this one, but 52 and a half ends up being a slight over. Now, Saturday night, I had to, I wouldn't say had to. Oh, I was invited to a Halloween party. I hadn't seen these people in a while. It was a 90s thing party. So, you know, I had some 90s stuff still sitting around, you know, hell, I was, you know, in school in the 90s. So, let's just say that. Went to a Halloween party, and I walked in there, hung out, and I said hi to everybody. Buddy had the TV going with all these different games on it, with the four, you know, games in there, and I just would pay attention to that as much as I possibly could. And of course, this was one of the games that were on. Good win for Oregon. I was, I'm more impressed with the Oregon win than I am with the Ohio State loss. I could have sworn that Ohio State should have played better. I didn't get to watch this game as much as I had a really light. But good win for Oregon. You know, this is a game that Oregon usually loses. You know, when they play a big boy, you know, when they play an SEC team, when they play a top, you know, big 10 team, Oregon kind of falters. Yeah, they passed the resume look, you know. They always ranked, you know, and yada yada yada. But when they play a big boy, they lose. I mean, it is what it is. That's why they don't have no national championships. That's why, you know, they don't make the playoffs very often. They just, you know, they're just good enough. I mean, I hate shitting on Oregon. They're cool. Of course, they were something cool. You know, uniform wise, that crowd was crazy. I hope you guys enjoyed that game. And it ended up being a great game. And that's exactly what you want. 3231. And, you know, Will Howard, you know, bless his heart. You know, for a guy, you know, had a chance to, you know, win the game and just took one, two seconds too long to slide and ends the game. You know, it really was, you know. Full Howard wasn't the best guy at K State. He goes to Ohio State, you know, program standards just a little bit more high, you know, up there. So, good win, good win. I got a couple players though for you guys. Jordan James, the running back for the Ducks, runs the ball 23 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. And then wide receiver Evan Stewart for the Ducks catches seven balls for 149 yards and a touchdown. Ohio State strength, I thought this year was their defense. You know, senior lead, upperclassmen lead. They're saying that, you know, this is a defense that could have four, five, maybe even six of their defensive starters get drafted. In April, sure is it he-hon, sure is it, you know, smoke up the butt? Absolutely, but I see it, you know. But this was an Oregon team that, you know, didn't really impress me last week against Michigan State. So, yeah, I expected a lot more from Ohio State. So, they better bounce back. You know, one loss doesn't kill, you know, your Big Ten title hopes at all. You still have a hard schedule in front of you. You know, you still have a Penn State, you know, you still have a Michigan, some sprinkled games here and there, but you also don't play a, you know, USC, I don't think. You don't play a Wisconsin, those trap games schedules, you know, in between here and there. But I want to see what Oregon does now. They'll probably move them to number two. I think Texas did enough to stay at number one, but Oregon's new number two. I don't think they'll probably job Ohio State very far. Maybe dropping them like four or five, maybe. That's just a tough hard fought one. You know, a hard fought loss for Ohio State, I should say, sorry, only losing my one. You know, they were the away team. They won't get punished too too bad for that one. But could win for Oregon System 6-0, 32 to 31 overall, Ohio State. 6-30 kick on ABC. This was their, you know, game of the week for the SEC. It featured the ninth ranked team in the country, the Ole Miss running Rebels, five and one, heading two, Death Valley. To play the 13th ranked LSU Bayou Bengals four and one on the year and the home team playing at nine. In Death Valley, you get to win, 29 to 26 in overtime. Definitely a common thing.

About this week of football, there was a lot of overtime games, there was a lot of close games, not a whole lot of blowouts, especially with some of the ranked on ranked match ups. Yes, the Red River rivalry was technically a blowout, but ideally, I think a lot of Texas Longhorn fans kind of saw that coming. Even probably some Oklahoma fans might have deep down had that feeling and their stomach going, who I haven't liked how we've been looking. We got the number one team in the country, we beat them last year, yeah. But good win for the Bayou Bengals. I did predict this one. I said it was a coin flip to me, but if I had a gun in my head and I had to pick one, I'm taking the home team playing at night in Death Valley. That is a hard place to play, man. It is on my bucket list for sure. I would love to go to a game down there in Death Valley. Like I said, 29, 26 overtime win. Kyron Lacey, the wide receiver for the Bayou Bengals gets the player of the game, got five balls for 111 yards and catches the game winning touchdown in overtime to, you know, send Ole Miss kind of on their way. You know, an Ole Miss team at I was high on, you know, in the preseason analysis and going through their schedule, so on and so forth. I figured this was the year that they weren't quite a Penn State, you know. Yeah, they've always been a competitive team kind of in the hunt every single year. But, you know, it seems like they get in their own way. They lose to the Bammas and they lose to the Dodgers and they'll lose to a Kentucky, you know. It's a problem for Ole Miss, it seems like. This is an Ole Miss team that consecutively gets great recruits. I mean, top 10 recruiting classes, not even kidding. Lane Kiffin, it's not looking good. You know, not looking good at all for Ole Miss. And I think, yeah, LSU needed that win. I think Brian Kelly and Lane Kiffin are both one of those, both of those style coaches that doesn't seem like it's working just enough. Brian Kelly still smashed them out. Grab you by the, you know, face mask and call you a cock sucker and, you know, maybe even choke you a little bit. And then Lane Kiffin's too coy and cool and calm. And, you know, I'm your buddy, I'm your friends. Type coach, you know, it is what it is. But there are also two coaches, not quite necessarily light, not by the media, not by fans, so on and so forth. You know what it is, so that was an interesting little part. But, you know, good win for LSU kind of keeps them, you know, relevant. And, you know, sends Ole Miss to, you know, purgatory, kind of in that middle area, that middle gray area in the SEC. And, you better start doing something if you're an Ole Miss fan. Good win for LSU, 29, 26 and OT. 645 kick on the SEC network. This was a, this is a great game. This was in one of those little four little squares that I was watching. Featured the Vanderbilt Commodores, the team of the country right now. Three and two, heading to Kentucky, to Bluegrass State, to play the Wildcats, coming in three and two as well, identical records. And the harder team gets the win, the Vanderbilt Commodores 20 to 13. Kentucky was favored by 13 and a half. Talked about that in the previous show. I said, damn, that's kind of, that's offensive. You know, that is very offensive that, you know, Kentucky was favored by a damn near two touchdowns and two extra points, man. They took it personal over and over on this one, 46 and a half, ends up being an under. Diego Pavilla, a quarterback for these Vanderbilt Commodores, man. He was great. 15 for 18, 143 yards and two touchdowns. You know, probably saying CM, you're being a little nitpicky. You kind of have to for a 20 to 13 score. I mean, if he doesn't throw those two touchdowns, Vanderbilt doesn't win. He does throw an interception. So technically, he went 16 for 18. I mean, that's up in the 90% per percentile, man. I mean, that's really good. I mean, yeah, he meant to throw it to the guy in black, but the guy in blue caught it. So I mean, that's still a completion, I mean, don't knock them. But I like what the Vanderbilt Commodores are, man. I'd love to see who they got, you know, here pretty soon. Hopefully, you know, they'd be nice to see. I know they play Texas in two weeks. So that might be a game that's going to be on the preview show. It's a team that's filling themselves, too. You know, it's one thing to, you know, knock off the number one team in the country. Yeah, I mean, a blind school. Funs and not every once in a while, right? But, you know, doing it in that nat fashion, and then coming out the next week and not missing a beat, you know, in a smash, you know, smash-mouth-type game, you know, no one's really running away with it. You know, a fire-reat steal, you know, iron meets iron, so on and so forth, and you come out the victor. I can see a very good Kentucky team. It's, Kentucky team's very hot as well. Like what Vanderbilt's doing, man. I'd love to see them win a couple more games. You don't get bowl, eligible. Maybe knock off somebody else. And it'd be great in two weeks. Not being picky, but I'd love to see the long ones get humbled by Vanderbilt. But a good win for Vandy. Like I said, Diego, Pavea, quarterback for those Commodore, she's doing great things. Good win for Vandy belt, 20 to 13. Seven o'clock kick on Fox. This is a big 12 battle feature of the 11th ranked team in the country, the Iowa State Cyclones 5 and 0, heading to Morgantown to play the West Virginia Mountaineers come in three and two. Those two losses have come from Penn State and Pittsburgh. This West Virginia team has played some really good teams, two ranked teams, two undefeated teams. That's where their losses have come from. They get another one right here. 28 to 16, Iowa State gets the win over West Virginia. Iowa State was favored by three, so they cover. Over and around this one was 53 and a half, so it ends up being an under. Player of the game is Carson Hanson, the running back for Iowa State, carries the ball 20 times for 96 yards and three touchdowns, pretty much does it himself.

The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. Man, I feel bad for this West Virginia team. When they win, they win big. When they lose, they don't lose big. That's their third loss on the year. Puts them at 500, talks of Neil Brown getting fired, have gone from whispers to talks. It's not quite to yells yet. But when your three losses add up to 18 and 0, the teams you lost to, that's respectable. I mean, it really is. And I've said this before, and I'll say it again. All year long, I've said this. West Virginia is still a good team. That is a West Virginia. You do not want to see on your schedule any time soon, especially at home, especially at night. This is an 11th ranked Iowa State team, and they only won by 12. You know, that tells you something right there, but good win for Iowa State since M6 and 0, sends them into a nice three-way tie at the top of the Big 12 standings. 28 to 16 over West Virginia and a tough, tough place to play. 9-15 kick, this is the last game I have for you guys. This is another Big 12 battle on ESPN. 9-15 featured the 18th ranked team in the country, the K-State Wildcats, 4-1, heading on down to Boulder to play Colorado, 4-1 as well. And the team at the number next to their name gets the away. The visitors get the win. 31 to 28, another close hard-fought game as well. K-State did not cover. They were four-point favorites. Over on this one is 56-1/2, ends up being over. Great game. I mean, nothing like a night game in Colorado, right? I mean, they were wearing the black jerseys with the gold face masks. It was very sexy versus visually appeasing. You know, K-State wears that purple and then the gray. It wasn't really cool. You know, if that would be my plum crazy, you know, uniform match-up of the week, it wasn't for Ohio State and Oregon, you know, earlier during the day. But player of the game, I got a couple of them. You know, of course, it's Avery Johnson. You know, the quarterback, I've spoke very, very highly, you know, of him all year and their loss. He, you know, wasn't quite himself. And that's why they lost. But he goes 15 of 23, has a rushing touchdown. He throws for two touchdowns and accumulates 224 yards. This is just a dude, man. I like him. I like, I really do. The more I watch him, the more I like him. He's got the Thor hair going. He's got the gold he likes going. You know, got a little honky quarterback, man. I mean, you know, I'm a honky myself. I'm a cracker myself. So, you know, don't, I'm actually in half. So don't be, you can be half offended if you want. But I like him very much. DJ Giddens, the running back had himself a great day as well. 25 rush attempts for 182 yards. And he can say, you know, he beat, you know, the Sanders is all of them. And he took Shiloh Sanders's, you know, manhood. Took his man card. Look it up. If you did not watch this game, please look it up. DJ Giddens hits the whole Shiloh Sanders was right there. I think he played free safety or strong safety. I can't remember which of the lesser known Sanders brothers. Yeah, position he plays. But man, he's coming up to make that tackle. And Giddens just puts him in a blender and took his man card. Man, just made that boy, you know, an ice case boy. It was a great play. Wide receiver, Jase Brown gets another game ball. Got six balls for 121 yards and two touchdowns. You know, this is a K-State team. I've been beating the drum floor all year. I said when they play good complimentary football, you know, Avery Johnson's doing his thing, you know, they're running the ball well. They have good, you know, receivers. They play good defense. That's a K-State team that can win the big 12. I will definitely include them. And the five or six teams now that can win the big 12. They play like this the rest of the year. Absolutely see it. They're a good team. Good win for K-State, 31 to 28. Don't have very many extra games for you guys because, you know, 15 is a lot. I believe that's the most I've had, you know, all year. And they all ended up being pretty good games, really close games, other than probably BYU, Arizona, you know, the Red River rivalry game. A lot of those games were relatively close, you know, within, you know, 10, you know, sometimes they were within 14. I still consider that kind of a close game. But South Carolina and Bama, you know, the number 17 in the country, eke out a win, 27 to 25 over South Carolina. You know, that was a game that was going to be number 16 or 17 to put on my list. I just figured, I just thought that, you know, Alabama probably having one of the biggest, you know, shit in your pants moments and years and losing to an unranked Vanderbilt team, you being the number one team in the country, that the coaches were going to get you right. You guys were going to practice hard. You were going to dig deep. And you were going to be South Carolina by 50. And you didn't, you know, 27, 25 against, I'd say, a decent South Carolina team. That's just eyebrow raising, you know, it really is. I'm perplexed, to say the least, where is this Alabama team that a couple of weeks ago were being talked about as one of the best Alabama teams of all time. And I'm not even kidding. I heard those talks and I said, boo, shit. I've seen some really good Alabama teams. Hell, I did the time machines here is, and I saw the 2020 Alabama team. I saw, you know, some really good Alabama teams. And that team was better than Derek Henry and Mark Ingram's, you know, Alabama teams. Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's hold on to the breaks a little bit. But I did say, I predicted Alabama was not going to go eight shit. I had to eat my words the first six weeks of the season. Now maybe what CM said, you know, eight, nine, 10 weeks ago is kind of come into fruition, that SEC hype, that SEC pressure is kind of getting to these boys. Nick Saban's not the coach anymore. It isn't Kaylin DeBore, like coach. He's more of a, you know, Lane Kiffin style coach, you know, as more of a players coach. I can guarantee you, if Nick Saban was the coach of this team and not Kaylin DeBore, that lost to Vanderbilt. Probably wouldn't have happened. And if it did, they would have blew the fucking doors off of these South Carolina gamecocks. I can guarantee you, I don't think Nick Saban's lost two games in a row ever while he's been in Alabama. So I, you know, maybe where there's smoke, there's fire, you know, maybe it's just, you know, a strong fart. Hell, I don't fucking know. But I maybe what I said is coming true, that Alabama is kind of going to be like Michigan and kind of take a little bit of steps back, not quite compete in their conference still going to be competitive, but not going to make the coach full playoff. 'Cause if I, I say it right now, I don't look like the seventh ranked team in the country. You know, you barely win two points against South Carolina and then you lose two weeks ago to an unranked Vanderbilt team. You ain't a top 10 team, homie. I'm sorry, but that's it, that's it. That's, I want to see what Alabama does really, really soon. And the wheels could be falling off. That's all I got to think. Boise State beats Hawaii 28 to seven. You probably see it seeing him. Really? Boise State beat Hawaii? Yes, it's just player of the nation right now. If it's not Travis Hunter, you know, there's so many great players in this game. They're running back for Boise State. You know, this guy is just tearing up. He is on pace to rush for over 2,000 rush, rush touch. Oh, yeah, rushing yards right now. This guy is nuts. He's got over 15 touchdowns right now. I do believe he has another 200 yard rushing day. Puts him over 1,200 rushing yards, 1,259 or something to be exact. And that's at the halfway point. This guy is on track for 2,400 rushing touchdowns and like 30 something rushing touchdowns. Sorry, yeah, he's on pace for 2,400 rushing yards and over 30, 35 rushing touchdowns. I mean, that's up there with Derrick Henry, you know, his Heisman, you know, winning year. So they keep doing it. I know they're playing weaker competition. I get it, but he did it against Oregon too. So don't, you know, you can't quite say that Boise State hasn't done it against quality competition. And, you know, Oregon does it in an up to team in the country. And I believe Boise State should have beat that team that week. All right. That does it for me, guys. Coming in a little over an hour. That is the week seven review show. I hope you enjoyed it. I sure as hell did. A lot to take in. A lot to, I guess, what's the word on before? I guess I'm short now I'm running out of gas. You guys, I just hope you've enjoyed it, man. I hope I gave you just enough stuff to keep you guys occupied and busy. They're in Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. And, of course, I hope you enjoyed your NFL slate of games as well. I'll be back very soon. You know, with the week eight preview show, you know, we got some really good ones. Notre Dame versus Georgia Tech ought to be a doozy. Michigan versus Illinois, you know, two top 25 ranked teams. We got Bama in Tennessee. Definitely two teams that need to find themselves very, very quick in that rivalry game. Bama versus Tennessee. And we got, of course, Georgia in Texas. Then big bad boys, those Bulldogs are heading on down to Austin to play the Longhorn. So ought to be a great little set of games. Those are just the ones highlighted for right now. I'm kind of going through it. And they still have a lot of times TBD right now. They haven't really decided what time, what channel, of course, like some of these big games. They get determined, you know, two weeks ago, what channel and what time they want to play these on. But it's the other guys, you know, I like to shed light on Sunbelt and the Mac and the AAC, you know, and some of these other ones, conference USA from time to time. And not just talk about the big boys. So you guys take care, get the Patreon app coming in, almost 65 minutes, get that Patreon app, guys.

I will be back very, very soon with the week eight preview show and I are getting into it. I mean, you know, we were toes deep a few weeks ago. Kankles deep, you know, a couple of weeks ago as well. We're up to the knees, we're up to the thighs. We're about getting waist deep in this bad boy. And, you know, you see, who's good? Who's like raising eyebrows? Who's the jury's out on, you know, Tennessee and Alabama, they fit that mold, right? They play each other next week. So, I'll be back very, very soon with that week eight preview show, you guys take good care. Big shout out to the football function guys, Mr. Minifield, El Capaton, and Terry Minifield, you know, that young, Terry Minifield, that guy, father of the year, his right hand man, doing his thing. Of course, Goose doing the primetime stuff for us for the Thursday nights, Sunday nights at Monday night games. And, of course, the grandma, Rapha, Mike Twinningman, and his wife, Claire, by far your best episode. Yet, I loved the banter between you and her. It shows like she actually knows her football. It was great to hear. I can just tell how you guys talk. I have a great relationship is. I laughed and I smiled and it was a great episode to say the least. I do believe, and I probably speak for a lot of people and I'll say you two guys need to do that more often. It was a very breath of fresh air type. It's nothing against you, Grim, but you guys complimented each other very, very well. So, big shout out to you as well. Ms. Claire, 20 men, you sound like a sweetheart. I am so happy that I am the beacon of college football. I have shined it all the way across the pond and you've taken it and you've been watching it and you know that I've said this before. You guys don't all the time get the best games of the week. You guys didn't get to watch Ohio State in Oregon. Yeah, you got to watch the Red River rivalry, but it kind of lost its lesser this year. It was kind of a blow out. But I'm going to keep doing what I do and I do it for girls like Claire. I do it for people like Mike 20 men. I do it for guys like Double J and Elvis Escobar and DJ Flock and Coosmo, Detroit Kai, OKG, Kevin Watson. So many guys out there, not, I can't find my paper on me right here, but I do it for guys like y'all. I mean, I end girls as well. I'd love to give you guys a shout out, holler at me on Twitter. Big shout to my family members as well. Sean Old, Zamora, Cowboy fan, Longhorn fan. At least he's got one good thing going for him right now. Andy LaFawn as well. You know, with our Andy LaFawn, there'd be no CM, big Drew Drew. Richie and Joe and Bell and Pops and Matthew and Darian and Art and Marcy and so many people out there. And I got a writing down man. I really do. I do this a lot of that time. A lot of this stuff like that. I do up top of my head. So you guys take care. All right. I did my job for the first part of the week. I will be back very soon with the week eight preview show. I have a Danny for you guys as well. So you guys take care. Be good people. Know who you are. Know who you serve. Know where you're going. Know what you're doing. You get there. All right. Because Michael loves you to death. Have a great week. Be good people. Those of Michael loves you. Rec them. Give you a long kiss. Good night.

When I enlisted in the Army, I swore an oath to this country. Not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on one too. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent.
