like it’s never been cleaned before so like the pile was completely got got the point where basically it was just like a token covering on like the floor itself yeah and so I just cleaned it and now it’s like my feet are like sinking into carpet how strange the cats hate it they’re so mad at me I don’t want to know what that the liquid looked like after you tried to vacuum that carpet I mean you know the part in uh Finding Nemo where the little guy’s like it made me ink kind of like that yeah be you made your carpet ink I did a few times yeah I cleaned it then I cleaned it again I may clean it again tomorrow just just to make the cats angrier at this point there is no joy in Mudville the nice thing about it is though all I had to do was turn the HVAC completely off in my room and the carpet dried in about an hour and a half there you go [Music] [Applause] [Applause] welcome everyone to the sigos committee podcast this is our podcast for the evening of July 2nd 2024 happy July happy only a month and a halfish left until college football actually hits oh God panic panic panic do we remember how to do that this this is going to happen the same thing that happened this past year is we got to the first episode and we were like wait what in season what do we do I don’t remember we talk about then we get to the end of the season and we’re like how does the offseason work again we are see yall make fun of me for having gold Fishman raped but y’all aren’t much better than me I don’t make we never claim to be that is true I mean I just kind of think that like even if I thought of like a master plan or something like oh like we’re we’re going to have all of this planned out we’re never going to actually do that like no well things that happen are going to happen welcome to being married to me like that’s my wife also has a master plan for things we’re all married to Jordan Welcome to our polycule I mean that was where I went with this was this too uh how does your wife feel about being part of our polyle Jo we’re a podcast CLE she be she’d be totally happy because uh more hands make light work let’s be really honest here that wasn’t sexual that wasn’t sexual that wasn’t sexual I don’t believe you it takes it takes a village to be married to Jordan I that’s you know what she would probably agree with that statement oh we’re like we’re her emotional support podcast uhhuh that’s a scary scary thought if you if we are your emotional support podcast listener let us know so that we can have someone check on you I do want to say start with something a little fun which is the aliens have attacked the United States I’m sorry what it is of course July 2nd aliens have destroyed the White House oh New York and Los Angeles along with other cities they don’t really mention you notice how in that movie they just gloss over like the rest of the world yeah well they have that one little scene where they’re like London Moscow Paris but they never show those things blown up hey hey they nuked Houston in that movie all right I know it was a good start we fixed it yeah we fixed it it help it helped everything out yeah he was soed in that tank I mean it is sort of like how how if you watch Doctor Who the aliens always land in London yes you ever you ever see a movie where some city is in Peril and you’re like really that city they’re gonna they’re gonna a they’re gonna they’re gonna nuke Indianapolis yeah like from one hand it’s like for Anaheim I’ve noticed this more so more more so lately now that the Chinese film Market is becoming a thing a lot of times like something bad will befall a Chinese City I’ve never heard of we’ve talked about this before that there are like tons of cities in China with over two million people that I just don’t know every once in a while in like a marble movie movie nowadays I’m like I’ve never heard of this place that is now having this well I feel like at least what I think of when I think of what cities get destroyed the city in China is the city that gets destroyed in the beginning of the movie to let us know that they’re capable of destroying cities and then like the more American city is the one that we fight to save gotcha like I’m think back to heck even back to 1998 Armageddon like we see the we see them the asteroid I don’t even know what it is there’s like the big asteroids coming but somehow there’s like a bunch of early asids yeah it doesn’t really makes sense but it’s it’s a Michael Bay movie anyway they show us New York City I think Shanghai and Paris right is like we got this whole like Global thing every everything else in the movie Just Americans that’s all of it yes so you got to get that one in there I I will say I’m just thinking though like like the movie Rampage right where Dwayne Johnson is somehow on the same level as these giant animals that he’s fighting like legit like he tag teams with the big gorilla and they fight the crocodile and the wol watch this movie but like Dwayne Johnson is on their level like it’s the lizard is called the lizard is Ralphie by the way yeah it’s implied that like he is helping out somehow like he’s having the these giant animals are fighting he’s somehow but it take like it’s this climax is in Chicago and I’m watching I’m like damn you know on the one hand all of these animals really Chicago is what you’re destroying and on the other side really like you’re fighting this hard for Chicago um hey don’t Chicago like that Chicago’s pretty good commiss did you play Rampage as a kid I did the video game yeah yeah yeah it was it was it was awesome I played that so much I love that game lots of punching buildings there was and I was really a big fan of like the angle down punching oh yeah the top of the like that was like you just punch down and just make sure you didn’t grab the uh toxic chemicals that was what it was Ralph and Lizzy and and Wolfie I believe oh no no it was George is it George George yeah it was George George was the monkey that’s right George George is like the main character in the movie Rampage um along with of course Dwayne Johnson George knows sign language it just uses it to talk does I keep waiting for the V for the oldtime video game well to run so far dry that we made that we’re going to make a video like a movie version of the Atari 2600 game Venetian blinds which consists of making the Venetian blinds go up and down I remember this I remember this they were showing off the controller got put that uh so yeah the reason I mentioned this is because this time of year it’s a tradition that the Twitter account at 1996 id4 tweets out the plot of independent stay in real time which always just makes me happy one of my favorite gimmick accounts on Twitter and uh go ahead Jordan there is something that you forgot to do introduce people fine as always always I’m Jordan what was that Beth I’m making the Venetian BLS go up pin down oh there you go and with me tonight as always I have kamish Beth pck girl and Arthur now I’m still gonna talk about this thing because I don’t forget basically this Twitter account tweets the whole plot of the movie Independence Day and it’s glorious and we got brought into it today I this was not planned this was not anything but a tweet according to sios committee the annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest set for this Fourth of July has been postponed defending champ Ed crche was at Fort Bliss and El Paso so a new Champion was expected to be crowned no longer there we go we’re part of the story that has to be such a Mountaintop moment for you Jordan it’s just so funny it’s just so I mean I I tweeted about it this morning just because I like this account so much and now y’all I I don’t know if I ever told you one of my things is I love really bad disaster movies like like uh Roland emmerick is my man ah moonfall yeah Jord you didn’t have to tell us this we knew I know but like ID like Independence Day was like one of my first that I remember I I saw it in theaters like I remember this movie don’t call Independence Day bad my seventh grade marching band show my very first year in marching band mhm was the Superman remake that came out that year and independent day Independence Day is a classic of Cinema don’t at me it is it’s so I I have a question all the tropes yes sir so the the the Tweet mentioned the is this like reference in the movie because I haven’t seen it in a few years and I don’t I like is that specific detail actually in the movie or did they make that up they just made that up okay they just made that up okay so I’m I’m I’m so they probably got Fort Bliss because that’s where Joey Chestnut is going to be on July 4th and that dude is the dude that won the H contest in 1996 yeah by the way I have found really researched this I have found I good God I have found CNN 1996 webpage about this he ate hold up I don’t look it up yet seven HG dos yeah like let’s see what how what was the record okay here’s the question I’m G say like 37 sight unseen do you think I could beat this person in a hot dog eating contest it feels like it uh the answer is 20 22 yes bless you 22 and 10 minutes is still a lot like still a lot but my I know it pales in comparison to the Feats of Joey Chestnut but like I could not do that it just seems right like we’re celebrating 22 this is like looking back when this is like before the four minute mile yeah right like man could never forward pass yeah this person ran an 8740 okay I’m gonna read this sentence from the CNN article 1996 and I want you to help me unpack it the Nathan’s Famous 4th of July hot dog Ean contest has been held each year since Nathan’s open in 1916 except for 1939 1940 and 1941 when it was canceled to protest the war in Europe and then they they put it back on you know actually that kind of makes sense what are we protesting this is my question the Nazis I would hope I mean but you so you that was not really that’s not how I read it yeah like it’s like oh we shouldn’t be fighting these Germans I don’t know yeah it’s a weird for how long history would did they call them frankfurters because I feel like that’s going to answer our question oh this this page is adorable because there is a 1.1 megabyte QuickTime movie link that no longer exists perfect no codex uh I dropped that link in the chat uh y’all need to click on that real fast and just see this web page because it is absolutely glorious so 96 right 96 there was 22 hot dogs this is essentially golf before tiger wordss came yes okay this is like this is like basketball this is like basketball when it was all white guys oh man this is this is CNN interactive I missed that thing it’s it’s really all of this is just can just take a moment and take a look at your navigation bar on the left because it is it is a joy oh is that a navigation bar it absolutely is Holy this this guy that that uh won yeah God he looks like Jeff Garland he does by the way absolutely broken HTML click on anything on there oh yeah no it’s just it’s these are like this is like an image map okay for kids there used to be these things called image Maps where they would literally like layer HTML over an image so you could click on it and it would go to the right place the and they did a bad enough job on this that seven that 74 main page thing isn’t a link you have to go below it on the stick oh web 1.0 I miss you people asked us what do you think the sigos committee would look like in 1996 like how would we get our information out oh like this yeah Geo geoc City’s website for sure yeah I I can’t remember when live Journal started I see I feel like would we have had a live Journal journal or9 or would we have had a Zinga that’s I think that might have been too recent too Zinga who this the same time I I honestly I think we might just have like print stuff out and like distribute it like it wouldn’t be like right like it wouldn’t be like professionally published but like we’d have like someone would have like I don’t know like a print quote or something I don’t know I mean 199 was when I was born so I don’t really so here’s my question the technology was back then would we have had a website or would we have just basically walked in and hostile taken over an AOL chat room that too yeah ab and just basically just lived in there definitely the second one because that’s basically what we did in the first place could we could we change the the sound from AOL of like you’ve got mail to like yes haha yes you could you could do that at any point it was really easy it was right yeah that was that was an option you would just create a wave file uh I silly bracket drop I had the I had the sound for my for my insta messages I had the sound of a Star Treck Communicator opening I had the sound of the moment in Monty Python when the dude gets shot with an arrow and goes message for you sir bet you that was real funny the 400th time you heard it it really was I laughed at that for an amount of time that I’m embarrassed to admit now I love this they got that actual person who won it in 1996 but they also said Fort Bliss and I want to tell you where they got that from okay because that is where Joey Chestnut will be on the fourth of July he’s going to Fort Bliss in El Paso he is going to compete against the troops so if for all of like the memes about like oh I bet that if the troops wanted to they could you know get a team together so it’s going to be Joey Chestnut versus for soldiers and whoever eats the most wins so there there’s four of them together total yes Brant from from each branch or I I don’t know I I’m not super familiar with what is at for uh I’m I’m sorry Beth how many branches in the military are there I mean as many as you want there to be I am I’m a merchant marines truther there’s there’s seven thank you very much I’ll sit over here and hum Seer paradus if you need me um so I just want to read this quote from the AP article about this Chesnut said he’ll do a practice routine Friday then ingest oils to quote make sure there’s a clean highway there won’t be any traffic jams unquote in his digestive system before heading to Fort Bliss the sprawling desert army base that’s home to the first Armored Division it will be his first visit to El Paso Maybe get to get on a tank he said question is it worse for your digestive system to be a professional hot Dogman or to be a wrestler I don’t know this is not a question I want an answer to because all I’m thinking about now is him eating a hot dog and it flying out the other end at speed yo dog I heard you like intestines so I put some intestines in your intestines I I feel like the wrestler would have to be because the wrestler’s the entire body uh essentially I would say it’d be harder and then you travel way more um true you you like like it’s WrestleMania Sunday night well I was thinking like like the wrestling type where you have to like make weight all the time oh so you’re constantly like destroying Roman wrestling or just wrestling wrestling oh yeah I R not rasling but I’m sure R like rasling also seems like it would be pretty bad for your body yes these are great choices for your longterm health no not at all apparently back in 1986 they were dipping hot dog in water as well okay they already started this thing like I said they just they just got rid of the wood clubs and in golf and they they started to have like some drivers with metal then Tiger Woods came along and that’s basic basically what Joey Chesnut did for competitive eating so they started taking it easy I mean I taking it seriously not easy Jesus uh taking it really seriously and just devoting their entire lives to something like this which I think huh Joey has demonstrated uh that he is doing that to uh make the uh Runway clear so to speak and like C this guy is this guy is just a dude okay apparently he was like he is very much not just a dude he is the most decorated American competitive eater of all time he sorry he was just a dude at some point it wasn’t like it wasn’t like Joey Chestnut where like he’s like the name everywhere Joy Chestnut wasn’t winning like the US hot dog amateur or anything like that no I don’t I don’t believe so he took down he took him the crown in hot dog little league is there is there Collegiate eating no isn’t it wouldn’t hot dog Little League be competitive cocktail weenie eating how many little smokies can you get down Ador the little Smokey Little World Series Le World Series in Williamsport only it’s all pigs in a blanket you see people just like dunking Crescent R they you know there is opportunity to have other events at the Little League World Series when the Little League World Series is not occurring oh God this could be a a boon to Scenic South Williamsport here we go uh Ed Ed craty by the way all they describe him as a 300 350 pound NY neex which is apparently a telephone company engineer that’s like the entirety of his that is actually just a guy okay no like he’s just a guy there’s a Facebook page for the National Collegiate competitive eating Association as well as a really weird looking logo and their last post on Facebook was in 2012 so if y’all want we can start ourselves a competitive eating Association honestly good for them for not being on Facebook I solid decision so we’re celebrating America this week while we celebrate America this week just before we move off today the recording date I would like to read into the record a tweet about another historically significant thing about today Tuesday July 2nd yeah uh Beyond it you know Houston having got nuked or whatever happy 161st anniversary to the most Aeron saren moment in American history a Bowden College rhetoric Professor leading a bayonet charged to save the union we love Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain here on this podcast I forgot about that I’d forgot about that how could you forget Joshua lawence chamber I don’t know I I substituted out for something else I didn’t need to know we’re not allow forget actually never forget the 20th main this is objectively the coolest thing that happened in the second or Jesus in the second world war in the second Civil War God in we’re not there yet um are we objectively the coolest thing that happened during the Civil War thank you well let’s then talk about some things that are making us less proud to be an American hey US Men’s National Team why are you like this you uh okay we got to get some things fixed before two years from now oh what’s wrong well we need to fire everyone that’s that’s the first problem and and then you just got to bring back you gotta bring back bring back the step coach that stepped up so the number one thing that we don’t like about the Men’s National Team is the Men’s National Team so if they could just fix all of that that’d be great huh the The Men’s National Team reminds me of a team team that just hovers around the college football polls in like 20 to 25 yeah the ranking and they just can never put it together and no matter what it is like they have like individual oh God I cheer I cheer for iny State as a country no no no no edsbs already figured this out or Banner Society was it Tennessee oh God damn it God I mean Tennesse has stuff to fall back on they have a championship not recent 97 like they have stuff it feels like 98 is Tennessee but you know I I don’t want to remember the 98 World Cup for the US wait is this us this might be us hangs out I no I mean I feel like I feel like the thing with the US and I say this as someone who my main exposure to soccer is football manager but like I feel like the US is someone where you look at like oh they have all the resources they they you know like they should be X but literally at no point in their history have they been this right yes like so I’m trying to think of a school like that where you know it’s something where it’s like you know like wow like there’s only the only FBS game in town or like they’re only you know they should be better than this like are we sleeping giant UNC right that’s what I’m saying like it’s something like that where it’s just like you know like on paper if you look at the resources we have we have a World Cup bronze medal from 1930 something yes 1930 so we so we might be pet hey no it had way more recent success than that yeah I mean just absolutely took a sideswipe with you guys right there honestly honestly actually why are you do what are you doing I I so anyway so shame you have Dishonored happy Rock so here here’s what I’m saying right the us like we have the resources right like theoretically like the money’s there the population is there like there like we should be able a country of what 300 something million people we should be able to find players and then we should be able to figure out how to put those players in position to win yeah um so my comp here is Texas A&M right in that it’s like oh God more than any other school I think Texas A&M is like you know like yeah they have the money they have naalt but like they’re just not let me double check exact the exact year because it 1939 okay it’s not it’s not quite one to one and we don’t have a very good dog but I mean like and also I feel like it’s kind of a similar to thing to Texas A&M in that I think to the rest of the world it’s pretty funny when we lose you know like when Texas A&M loses I think there’s some humor there because of how like what perceive as like the resources that they have and I was saying like I I I and I’ve said this a lot that I feel kind of weird for Texas A&M fans because I feel like they’re the only team in college football that gets like big heal energy without actually winning like when when Alabama fans when everyone’s happy that y’all lose it’s okay because like you’ve seen a lot of national titles in your life right like even a school that maybe doesn’t win quite as much like Auburn or Florida or something like that where it’s like okay like you have national titles you can fall back on you’ve probably experienced some highs in your time as a fan unless you’re really young but like Texas A&M everyone knows how much money you have and you you know y’all love to talk about that but you’re probably the only School in college football that people love to laugh at that like you don’t actually have the success to fall back on they have they like A&M has has a bunch of different like traditions do we do we have that for like the unit States we have no Traditions I that’s I know we have like the American Outlaws we have but that’s all within the last like 25 years yeah that’s not anything I also kind of hate the Outlaws thing it feels like a create a team it it does I am a paying member but I agree with you oh okay but like no I I I can see the A&M like comparison I kind of feel like I I can see that a good bit but there there was times that you know there there’s been like some moments of Brilliance like some like Shining Moments where maybe you can get to like a New Year’s bowl game but you were kind of dormant for like the longest are no National Title though you know I would like to pause it and this is not perfect either because this is not a power five team okay oh wait no actually I have a bet I have a better thing to pait I was originally going to suggest that we might be Yukon oh for for a second there I thought that realignment had just happened like you just popped up on your screen and you would be like oh they’re power five now no I was originally going to suggest that we were Yukon because like you know um but no I think the better example here is that perhaps if you look at this and it’s not a football team it’s a basketball team thing perhaps we’re South Carolina South Carolina Women’s Basketball good yeah US Women’s National Team good South Carolina men’s basketball question mark are we Wisconsin that’s good too I mean I I had Mine mine’s the mine’s the O we we we’re Oregon we got lots of money we’re throwing it at it and it ain’t happen no we are not we’re we are not as Plucky as Kansas state is though no also our women’s team has championships unlike K State that is true okay all right K State has no championships in any team sport well except crop judging but yes and meet animal evaluation so like opposite so I I said A&M already but I I do appreciate your point that like a lot of yes I know Virginia Tech is the other team that doesn’t have any teams what I would say is like like American football culture does feel like very manufactured and very recent and I feel like there there are schools like that uh but you know at this like none of the schools that are that new in in terms of like their tradition and culture I feel like none of them also money I’m just saying I mean hit the button Arthur we’re are we perhaps uh a nation of Hilton Knight managers are we UCF okay they they can claim a national title oh that’s true never mind like that’s what I saying I was trying to think of like a new money but I feel like all the like a titles that used to get dominated by their Rivals but now is is is starting to take some of that back from the rivals you know Lou Louisville kind of they don’t have they don’t have Rivals no yeah they do the NCAA it kind of feels like we’re Oklahoma State a little bit or Houston there’s a lot of but here here’s the problem y’all all these teams you’ve mentioned yeah are more fun to watch than the US Men’s National Team and this is the problem that’s true that was my why it was us I watch I love Oklahoma State so much I watched this us team play two and a half bad games of football soccer I luckily I was feeling like crap and I fell asleep before the Uruguay game started that game was filmed from the [ __ ] Goodyear blimp wasn’t them they were using the high camera and uh what is this a game for ants the goody year blimp tweeted it was so bad the goodier blimp which I forgot we followed yeah we do tweet tweeted that it was not them I’m like sure blame the other blimp so it was like that for the entire game no they flipped it we we Cyber Bullied them uh as much as possible that the conob which is basically the the South American um Confederation uh they they move the cameras from the upper camera to the lower camera where you would essentially see like the Chiefs football games it’s akan right is it akan the one that has in poision stadium it is akan that has that the seat pitch at akan is about having been to info the seat pitch at aine’s about like thism can get you that too her hands nearly vertical yes I was there and it was raining and the rain was coming off the upper deck in sheets I love it cuz the seat pitch is about straight up ULM has that one side where the cameras are and the Press Box is ridiculously high up too gotcha uh so like they them and akan have that really incredible High camera angle but they’re able to zoom in pretty well for ULM games ACR games not so much no games I absolutely remember this yeah the the the action in akran and it’s just like it is dizzying Heights uh oh I just noticed the goalie he Blended in there yep yeah this was you know where’s the ball right that was most of the problem is that you couldn’t see any of this I watched some clips from it it was almost impossible to follow anything which is impressive has Fox did they could they maybe have tried to like no like a laser on the balls the glow Puck I missed that somebody made the tweet I think it was uh I think it was Jason Shear from Arizona Arizona is like yeah you remember they had the glowing Puck uh they may need to do this for the ball and and fox this entire time Fox was like this is not us we didn’t do this this is the world feed this is not us we don’t have this Choice like they can they kept saying like don’t blame Fox and like Stu Holden was adamant about this and it was it was ridiculous for the first 40 minutes it was tough to watch period God I forgot how stupid the glowing Puck looks that image just makes me smile well especially because nowadays it looks so much better and back then it was it looked just like a 14-year-old theater Tech trying to keep a spotlight on someone it looks like they’re playing with a [ __ ] coch ball I have put a dot here with the little pen thing for my iPhone photos app editor yeah it was it was uh it was it was tough honestly hard to watch it was very difficult to watch we got a a lot of jokes uh I was able to tweet the the sios guy from space um you know Jordan wasn’t necessarily awake for this but I I watched the entire game uh with my kiddo and he was it was some questionable refereeing I’ll say that but you know it was all for not because Panama still won no matter what would happen if they would have got a draw the US didn’t score anything um you know it it was it it was tough uh there’s there’s going to be some decisions about the the coaching team I don’t necessarily want to like get into the Weeds on that but again if we ever could do this full time there will be uh like a a a soccer sickos or sios soccer or at something like that on Twitter which I mean the name could possibly already be reserved and it’s just inactive uh so you know it it could be there y’all heard us talk about this like we we enjoy this but we love we love World Soccer college football college football is already such a massive goddamn thing yeah that and and you you guys appreciate the way that we eat this watermelon right you guys are like oh you’re the sickos committee or we eat this chicken you eat every P piece of meat off the chicken right yeah like we eat everything we unhinging our jaw and swallowing the watermelon hole like a very very large egg eating snake if we go into soccer that is the only way with which I know to do it and I would be sitting here talking about how Vanuatu lost the Oceana final New Zealand how dare they but you know what while while sitting on the roof watching the game that was awesome shout out to venatu the the country flag that I had to draw in fifth grade social studies that I’ve never forgotten that that’s right yeah that’s right okay so we not talking about the US coaching thing anything interesting in anyone’s heart about the European match uh fun fun one today the the European matches I’m just going to say this period there have been nine on goals in the Euro tournament what did I say it has been check the chat oh my God is that a snake eating egg that is an egg eating snake that an egg eating snake Jesus Christ there that is US consuming the watermelon that is C that’s what it looks like when I try to eat an egg I thought I thought the the Netherlands today wait be you if you ate an entire raw egg but it did not crack inside of you would it kill you still I don’t know I don’t want to find out oh don’t I mean you can eat a ra egg without ding hey hey you know what that’s allergic allergic though no no I’m I’m saying Beth you know I am coming to visit you just need a trust buddy to do is with and I’m the trust buddy I will put my life in Jordan’s hands this will be fine answer I mean you kind of did it with tubby at the maow uhuh they don’t call me they don’t call me doctor for any reason I really hope he’s not wearing his banana slug shirt at the same time oh just jamming an Ebby pin into your heart that’s where it goes right uh first off I just England bullshitted their way through past lakia every every England fan is in shambles and ready to TOS toss Gareth Southgate out the south gate and oh there there was a there was a joke on Twitter that said that uh you know since he subbed on Ivan Tony in the 94th minute in stoppage time which you know like a minute later they they get the the bicycle kick tying goal I I’ve seen it on Reddit I’ve seen it on Twitter uh they said that oceans gate makes better Subs than Southgate okay holy crap okay wowers look look the English folks do take soccer a little little seriously and and their media is ridic meaner way meaner than ours yes they they are I mean it is absolutely toxic over there in England and I can see why they never win because it the conversation is just depressing from the it like the beginning part is is how we’re going to lose and then it just goes further from like how can we lose in the most depressing fashion ever one one of one of my good friends said I’ve never seen a coach do so little with so much basically the idea that he is making the some of the parts worse somehow yeah I mean there’s there’s players that are out of position and he’s he played one player you know which I I’m not thrilled with this but bukai oaka uh he he played him on the right wing rightwing back and then mov them to the left wing back in the same game and then I mean you got got to keep the opposition on their toes they they’ve they’ve got like one of their best attacking presences like move them to play defense but again I am not it’s probably the Arsenal bias showing but still uh they’re trying to blame that player too and yeah no we’re not do what we’re not doing that get that out of here well it’s the coach we do need to talk about going forward realignment day because we have passed the threshold of July one Bobby b day yes day happy Bobby Bia Day to all who that a lot of dongs getting his three 300 billion dongs that’s a lot of [ __ ] dong that’s a lot of oh look that tweet I didn’t even think about that they that’s how many they still owe that’s they’re they’re indebted in dongs to buy we just need to schedule that treat that tweet forever yeah so here’s what we have we have Oklahoma and Texas moving to the SEC SMU joining the ACC kenas State joining conference USA an army joining the American in football only yes but then due to contract issues August one we’re getting call and Stanford to the ACC yes we’re getting the Pack 12 schools to the Big 12 Arizon Arizona State Colorado Utah be more fun with all of them and then on October 2nd we get the pack 12 schools that are going to the big 10 August 2nd August thank you thank you that would it would be very funny if it was in the middle of football season it would be hilar they had to play half of their schedule in the wrong conference that would be so good we also have some fcsd1 non football Movement we have Stephen F Austin they are back in the Southland again which is nice and utrgv who still doesn’t have a football program will in two years is going to be oh next year sorry yes they’re and they’re playing a exhibition schedule this year yep but they will be play they were in the whack then they were in the UAC Alliance conference and now they’re in the Southland they’ve been in three conferences before they’ve started playing football so that’s always fun uh there was also there’s a lot of movement in the smaller stuff we’ll get into that later on not tonight but other times uh SMU social media was popping off and apparently their folks follow us so that’s great because SMU like had pictures of the the horse’s name is not peion peruna peruna the mascot peruna leading around the other ACCC mascots like through the highlights of North Texas you got to do the voice and that’s why I was like hey it’s did you know the Texas Rangers one of World Series so they were there and when I mean all the mascots like they were all there hey oy you want to be best friends yeah so and well first off Florida State brought a cheerleader not one of those not their awful costume mascot and then course and then they brought a lady leprechaun oh leprechaun they could leprechauns can be ladies too who knew they they didn’t make make her put on a beard I was actually hoping that that was the case I I was like maybe the make put on the beard I learned that leprechauns could be ladies in the Disney Channel classic uh Luck of the Irish yeah that was a classic all right it was classically something oh yeah so they they’re showing them that that of course that’s not in Dallas they’re showing them around Tech uh Cowboy stadium and then at some point they have them out and it was just OT the orange Oy from Cal and the Stanford tree and then uh peruna they were at SMU stadium just being like look at us we’re chilling out they did Tik Tok videos and the Stanford tree said something about it and I tweet the Stanford tree and go I hope they got you out of there before it hit 100 degrees and responds to me uh my contacts say no so they were dying out there in [ __ ] heat y’all pck girl Arthur the ACC family mascot tree has gotten weirder y’all married into some weird folks yeah I’m excited to have the tree well so here’s my here’s my question about all these mascots right did they have SMU enter the conference on a different day than Ken Stanford just for the logistics of like getting the mascots to Texas and then getting them out to California that would be funny I thought you were GNA say it was gonna be like where they was it World War II where they gave each General a different starting day so that they would all line up properly mhm so that technically SMU is more senior in the conference and if if all conference members above them die they’re next in command I believe this almost sounds like a Roman consulship where we can’t command the troops on the same day exactly we have to we have to take turns Roman console SMU that just feels very correct I don’t know correct is a word choice there Cincinatti we’ve never needed you more so there was the Big Texas party Texas had their big thing Pitbull was there they had the first drone show with pyro in the northern in like North America I believe or maybe in all the Americas that’s that’s patently false I’ve seen my neighbors shoot drones out of the sky I noticed we used to have them in our neighborhood but I I kind of wonder what happened to them and now I’m thinking that’s what happened uh yeah but did you guys did you guys see the Drone show it was it just looks like I’m just a clip of it real fast the Pyro it’s pretty nice it’s coordinated I mean it’s just like but like the Pyro is the Pyro is like not what like not what you think it is um let me find no it’s it’s nothing like it’s not exploding drones or anything like that no I that’s what I want I I wanted something here we go it’s just like raining like sparklers yeah that’s it’s it’s in the shape of a longhorn that’s cute it looks like it’s melting wait they beveled themselves with pyro yeah they kind of did Aggie’s gonna get pissed does it move hold up it moves there we go oh it says Texas and it rotates no it says sex it but anyways they had a pyro and drone now says Texas and they did all that and they had Pitbull and they already had they already had shirts that said it’s it just means more when Texas colors e can we bevel things with Pyro from now on yeah I can go buy a bunch of sparklers y’ I’m in Texas we like they are technically fireworks laws but I city limit I live like right outside the city limits yeah you have went down your street seriously I could walk to like seven fireworks stands from my house like we’re we’re on the The Farm to Market Road which again that’s a weird concept for me but it’s like the road that just says Farm to Market and then there’s a number but we’re on that that Farm to Market Road just like a little bit off of it and on that road itself is just fireworks stands just ridiculous amounts of fireworks stands there’s like church fundraiser fireworks stands then there’s like the corporate fireworks stand then there’s the fancy fireworks stand that’s like indoor with air conditioning so no I have a question okay okay back up do you guys have Firework stores yes I was just about to get to this I was because you are talking to three pennsylvanians things have gotten weird up here oh yeah we we love our fireworks here yes so uh kamish Jordan have either of you driven into Pennsylvania from another state yes yes there is a thing off of in the first exit in Pennsylvania on every major Interstate that you may not have noticed would you care to guess what it is a giant fireworks store Y correct okay awesome for a very long time Pennsylvania was the only state in the Northeast that allowed you to that sold okay the good fireworks yeah until like maybe five years ago you could not buy the good fireworks if you were a resident of Pennsylvania yep the fireworks stores exist Ed to sit 500 yards off the border and sell the good [ __ ] to people from New York and Maryland yep but they’re legal now for a while the largest fireworks manufacturer in the country was in Pennsylvania selling right on the border this reminded me of of something that that happened kind of funny to me and I didn’t even think about this but uh when I went to Salt Lake and then I drove up to Pocatello uh from Salt Lake which is is basically as soon as I oh I bet I bet [ __ ] [ __ ] no no no as soon as I I like I’m about to cross the border like you’re talking about fireworks it’s like the nearest Lottery place oh yeah yeah to Utah and I’m like just jonesen from like I think like Utah state is probably like the closest to the Border like driving from Logan to just get to the border of Idaho to buy some scratch offs just it’s very funny a huge billboard too it it was hilarious I did throw some pictures of the kinds of fireworks stores that exist like right outside our state limits around here they are the more permanent ones there are also sheds like they come in all flavors throughout throughout the state big time and yeah that’s I was I was just wondering I didn’t know what I remember having to go to different states no New Hampshire sold as fireworks New Hampshire was surprise surprise New Hampshire very fine with fireworks you mean the live free and die state is cool with selling you explosives who no one surprised by this yeah this is a standard pa uh fireworks purveyor okay yeah yeah um but then we have we have everything from there down to like your Ye Old fireworks tent like the one that’s behind my family’s beer distributor so yeah a at least in this area of Pennsylvania they tend to post up in grocery store parking lot uh we have several that are Spirit Halloween some of the year and fire bet oh yeah they are I I’ve always wondered if there’s a day where it can be both I would like a sexy nurse costume that explodes the bazongas just go boom can I use the word bazongas is that word allowed you just did or or did woke come for bazongas too no I’m just thinking of mar you can’t say baz anymore because of woke I mean we’re saying bazongas not only are we saying bazongas like I’m pretty sure bangas are gonna be in the show title this episode great bigas whoa look at those mumbos I just have to say that out loud so I hear it when I go back and edit this because otherwise I won’t remember okay it’s time to commit 2024 is the year for prioritizing yourself begin your new smile Journey with

are trying to get the [ __ ] out of there Stanford tree account once again absolutely doing great because when Florida State posted this Stanford tree comes in underneath goes aren’t you suing us beautiful [ __ ] beautiful bring that fire bring it it’s it’s bring that fire the fireworks what what does what does the thing say it says greatness is becoming greater and it’s it in every single every single like school color and then it says ACC accomplish greatness go Beth talk talk it out Beth I know it’s in your head talk it out I hate the font that they chose yeah with every fiber of my being it it looks like a more seraphy version of impact that they have done like the torn page effect at the bottom of the top line and the top of the bottom line and then they’re also doing the same effect on the outs like oh they they used a pagee rip texture but not at a pagee rip and so it looks like yep uhhuh Oh I thought I thought you were going to complain about the phrasing of greatness is becoming greater oh no I hate that too like it’s it’s all bad everything is bad accomplish greatness this is ugly this is also ugly specifically because Miami’s colors evoke nothing more or less to me than like a discount store having a really big sale something about the green and orange is Ali is having a sale Ali’s Bargain Market has never used green or orange in its marketing no but it does have that Vibe I it this is this is Ali’s this is like that kind of like oh [ __ ] like Ocean State Job Lot how Army C y’all want 90 Army CS we got 90 Army CS the University of Miami is here to sell you Surplus I think I have offended kamish no it’s New Orleans it’s like my like my mom is is is from the Miami area so like these these colors are kind of like ingrained to me like I mean it’s purple green and gold in in New Orleans and then like the Miami colors like the the green and the and the orange the hurricane orange uh just yeah they’re they’re kind of ingrained to me so that they had to be like a really specific Pennsylvania thing uh which is fine to be clear none of the stores that I listed use green and orange in their marketing or for sales it just feels it just feels that way it is it does have a big feeling of uh liquidation sale sign everything must go the liquidation sales that we would get in New Orleans were were kind of Georgia Tech colors oh yeah it was like yellow and black uh there was there was a lot of that it was it was either like it the I mean really like something to jump out on the page you could kind of see like maybe some some red involved maybe some white maybe some Louisville color uh like for like liquidation sales or uh but yeah there was cuz like you try to stay away from like the the Marty colors in in New Orleans but yeah if it was in a different city to try to change up the colors yeah the in Pennsylvania there’s really not too much green and orange used in any logos in that in that state the other big college footb thing this week besides them talking about Dynasty mode and the new game but people people are going to go over that a bunch we’ll get there later on hey did you see Clemson was in the Mac that I we’re gonna have the first week of this y’all is going to be people tagging Us in screenshots of like I put Alabama in the Mountain West like it’s just it’s just G to be that for a week so just emot I deleted from the game and inserted Northwestern State the demons fine upgade really probably probably do that yeah but the Mountain West has found another TV home hell yeah with TNT with True TV so now that little chart they always post of Google searches for where is true TV that always has a bump in in March he gonna have a little tiny bump a tinier bum people who brought you the OJ trial we bring you the Mountain West hey I mean we’re going to see if anyone can catch the Broncos God it’s right are they I think are they actually playing on TV I don’t know if they have no I have like the the the breakdown I don’t think no bo state is not playing and then you could make or Hawaii or Hawaii I [ __ ] wish Hawaii would be on there God Hawaii Hawaii I assume is not on there because of their preexisting it has to be but that annoys gotta be but this these were the Mountain West games that were on streaming Mountain West Network which you had to like physically type in something to get it if you’re Lu to get it like this was the Wild game that I think was Utah State and James Madison last year yes that was like James Madison was up like huge and then like Utah state was able to tie it James Madison able to win it the only people that were able to get that were the coaches on their phone yeah I remember James Madison coach holding up the replay freaking phone on the sideline I forgot about that I was so good and he’s he’s now Indiana’s head coach he could just use the big I forgot about that too it’s even better it’s even better so they’re going to put this on True TV and on Max which is funny because they’re starting to call things on Max being like no this is HBO because changing it was a stupid idea I mean you gotta just say that the platform formerly known as HBO Max yeah or just say HBO Max like Never No One’s Gonna not know what you mean y’all they put five San Jose State games on here those that’s that means that those five games were probably not going to be they were all going to be on like Mountain West yeah but I I I love because like as soon as they said they were going to put it on Max I like I just went back to that old school HBO slogan it’s not TV it’s not college football it’s it’s HBO it’s Mountain West it’s Mountain West you know just I can’t look they put San Jose State on it five times like San Jose State like I’m just looking at San Jose State’s matchup it’s Sacramento State versus San Jose State it’s Kena State versus San Jose State it’s Nevada versus San Jose State it is Colorado State versus San Jose State it is Fresno State versus San Jose State are you kidding the milk can game yeah no no does milk’s Boise and Fresno ever and forgot what it was there’s a trophy though is it the bell I don’t know I I’m just looking at San Jose State’s nonconference schedule because that seemed Just So Soft I’m trying to to find like their big like where get punched in the face game the battle for the valley that’s what it is they don’t really have one their non-conference schedule is Sacramento State Air Force Kennesaw State no not Air Force never mind that’s not non-conference so it’s Sacramento State Kennesaw State and Washington state is that their whole schedule yeah okay wow anyways they’re a paycheck no San Jose State they got the new stadium uh they I love you know I miss their Stadium being under construction I’ll say that but I love what they did with the one side of the stadium yes and it’s just basically like uh a practice facility along with like seemingly like some patio style suites where you can hang out which is is pretty awesome it’s it’s it’s pretty cool what they did but I don’t I don’t know why they put them on TV so much on on that so New Mexico is the second team which New Mexico uh they put uh New Mexico versus Fresno State on there Air Force versus New Mexico New Mexico versus Utah State and New Mexico versus Wyoming damn and in all these games are on like Saturdays like I could see if maybe you you drop one on like a Friday or something these are like most of these are like seven like 7 o’clock Prime Time games too or at least like prime time yeah it’s like 5:00 p.m yeah uh like East I’m sorry like 400 p.m East Coast uh like 5:00 p.m something Central which is I I I’m just happy to have that and then somebody replied to one of the tweets I’m like okay I’m going to put this on the screen somebody replied was like don’t lie I was like lie about what like we watch a lot of Mountain West and we will put this on another screen like what do we like are they lying

American no idea so it it’s this podcast is being released on July fourth we we talk about independence we’ve already talked about the independence day uh the movie earlier in the podcast so I’m celebrating the national titles that people have won while being an independent since the AP poll started in 1936 uh I wanted to go over some of the weird ones that we come across here there there is some some you know there’s a lot of them but we Haven had any in a while cuz of course there’s the BCS in like ‘ 92 93 or whatever everyone was like hey I got to join a conference to win a title now and and nobody’s really won uh a national championship without being a conference since like 1989 the Miami Hurricanes Notre Dame fans are grinding their teeth to a powder right now I know so I’m sorry Notre Dame fans you’re upset sorry Master spreadsheet or Kevin you’re going to be upset at me for doing this but but I’m like it’s Independence Day let’s celebrate The Independents that have won a national title so what I had to break this down is I got the Wikipedia article uh where it says college football national championships in NCA division one FBS um and I started at the AP pole era which again I said 1936 and you’re GNA have to have more than one major selector because there’s just like some that are just like just one major selector and I’m like no I’m not giving you this you got two losses and everybody else has like one or none that’s my favorite one when it’s like I have I have three losses and some dude wrote my name down on a list your National Title has to be seconded by Scruffy from furama all right you got to get second all right you got to have that there needs to be somebody else that signs off on it yeah out 9 and 241 Alabama [ __ ] na get out of there get out of here right and they weren’t independent at the time anyway so I mean we we started in 1936 which is the first year of the AP poll we had the pit Panthers football team and we could just dig into that a little bit if you wanted to do it but uh they finished eight one and one their head coach their their loss was to Duke Kane uh they tied forom couldn’t handle that INS INS heat which which for them they lost to Due 7even Nothing by the way which forom played in the New York Polo Grounds oh God just I mean if you ever look at the Polo Grounds dimensions for like baseball like Center Field’s like 7,000 feet to center field yeah the Polo Grounds are the rare Stadium where when someone brings them up everyone thinks baseball stadium yeah but like they’re the rare Stadium where you think like oh they’re playing that football game in a baseball stadium and it’s like well not really not really because the polar grounds it it is crazy they they went eight1 And1 they lost to Duane in in pit Stadium uh but they tied at four I just found a picture of the Polo Grounds and it you can see the the football stadium superimposed yeah so enjoy that oh yes it’s incredible like is is nuts so this this game like they they tied forom at the polar ground so they were eight one in one uh they had a couple of major selectors and so they got credit for a national title at 81 And1 in 1936 they won the Rose Bowl 21 nothing uh over Washington I I just want to give a shout out to their their head coach their head coach’s name jock Southerland name jock yeah that’s right he he was he was kind of a big deal Jo southernland that’s right um they also won again in 1937 with jock they were nine 0 and one but guess who they tied again at the portal ground [ __ ] hell 1937 first place I always every time I read about the Polo Grounds they always talk about it that Stadium turning into a [ __ ] Quagmire of mud and I’m wondering if this isn’t that thing over and over again because I just remember every time I would read something about that field it would be like and they came out covered in mud no one could tell who’s on what team so uh we we move on to the next uh next independent Champion we have uh the 1939 Cornell big red uh they were named National Title uh winner by Lon house or lion house and Sagarin Sagarin okay uh so that’s to two 1939 Cornell big red football they finished eight and0 they beat Syracuse Princeton they beat Penn State’s ass 47 nothing yeah we love to see it we do they they went to Ohio State and beat number four Ohio State 23 that’s [ __ ] hilarious in front of 49,000 people Cornell come in and just [ __ ] cave your faces the big red beat the [ __ ] out of Brutus Buckeye uh they beat Columbia 137 they beat Colgate 1412 they beat Dartmouth sorry Jordan 356 well that’s fine and then they played at Franklin Field at Penn and they beat Penn’s ad ass 26 nothing in front of 69,000 people that’s so many people to watch pin football nice it’s crazy crazy so I don’t want to go over the next few ones here because you know again Notre Dame fans you got Notre Dame 1943 in the middle of World War II you got the Army Cadets I’m gonna say that Army shouldn’t have been that good during World you know I’m just saying that I would not want Army to be a great team during World War II well you know again they’re they’re they’re fine um Army in in 1944 they definitely would have had the most players given the draft I mean yes that is true yeah so Army in 1944 they they won the national title um they they they just crushed everybody in 1944 they beat North Carolina 46 nothing Brown 597 pit 69-7 not nice not not nice for for bit girl Coast Guard 76 nothing Duke 277 that was their that was their second closest game on the that’s also at the Polo Grounds everyone’s going to the Polo Grounds the Polo Grounds uh they beat Villanova in Mitchie stadium in West Point 83 nothing Jesus Christ [ __ ] they beat number five Notre Dame in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx 59 nothing we’re out here playing football in Yankee Stadium again they beat Penn a tradition Stadium held 74,000 then by the way oh my God yeah that’s they beat they beat Penn at Franklin Field in 65,0 627 and they had their toughest game which was against number two Navy in Baltimore at Municipal stadium 23-7 so they didn’t allow more than a touchdown at any point that year so we have we have lots of army we have lots of army next year Army 1945 Army 1946 like Dynasty uh for real then Notre Dames here with 19 46 1947 1949 I just want to throw out a quick shout out to 1945 Army because of the first game they played Jordan this is one of your favorites they played Personnel distribution command hell yeah let’s see how that team did were five they were six and five solid I me I feel like a team that’s really good at Distributing their personnel like they’re probably not going to get any too many men on the field penalties probably like that’s probably going to be a good secondary because they’re be distributed throughout the field probably won’t be a lot of gaps you can throw the ball into that’s great God they also played the Melville PT Raiders they did so that was that was I mean again this is why I want to go over the weird Independence winning this stuff because the schedules are wild as hell um so we we’ll skip Notre Dame Notre Dame Notre Dame because they they’ve been independent pretty much their entirety the next one that I want to hop on real really quick is the 1951 Michigan State Spartans am am I am I stupid for not knowing that Michigan state was independent that early I didn’t know Michigan we talked about this the week that uh I had the like big 10 trivia thing did because Michigan state was the 10th team after you Chicago dropped football that’s right so Michigan State replaced you Chicago uh which again 1951 Michigan State uh independent at this time so we we’re all about celebrating independence here so Michigan State uh they won the national title 1951 this was kind of um a little bit of one that was kind of disputed here but they had three selectors Billingsley Helms and polling uh they were ranked number two in the AP number two in the coaches uh they they won uh the national title they went undefeated of course 9-0 uh they beat uh Oregon State 6 nothing at Michigan 25 nothing they beat Ohio State 2420 Marquette which you know ceased to have football in like 1960 20 to 14 they beat Penn State at new Beaver field ah the predecessor of Beaver Stadium yeah um which was was absolutely a uh hilarious there uh there they also uh they beat um pit 5326 they beat number 11 Notre Dame 35 nothing they beat uh Indiana 30 to 26 and then they beat Colorado uh 457 and so they won that game and they won that National Title uh there is a dispute there because like Tennessee will claim it but Michigan State also claims this too the next year after that uh in 19 uh 52 Michigan state did it again so Michigan State won it again they finished 9 and0 um no dispute this time they were consensus uh national champions no dispute whatsoever just basically mowed everybody down again um you know they they they beat Michigan at Michigan two years in a row they beat Texas A&M in 40 48 to6 Syracuse 487 Penn State 347 uh they beat number eight Purdue in Purdue 147 that was kind of their closest Game of the Year besides the 1714 game they had against Oregon state which is a lot of fun so celebrating the independence here we go we’re skipping Notre game in 1953 because again Notre Dame has been they’re just not independent enough yeah they they’ve always been independent but you know again we’re celebrating independence plural I guess we could do it that way but Notre Dame’s always been that way so we’ll skip to the next independent which I have is the 1959 Syracuse Orange which uh they were the consensus National Champion uh they were one in the coaches one in the AP they finished 11 and0 they this is an Ernie Davis year right they obliterated everybody uh Ernie Davis was the sophomore running back yeah uh he won the Heisman Trophy in 61 but he was a sophomore at the time in this one here um so they were named by the national champion by like everybody like there was nobody else close uh they beat Kansas they beat Maryland Navy Holy Cross beat West Virginia 44 nothing they’re alltime Rivals at pit they won 35 nothing uh they beat Colgate 71 nothing their closest game was they they snuck by uh Penn State at new Beaver field 20- 18 uh and then they won the Cotton Bowl Over Texas 2314 to the national title uh the orange that’s right Ernie Davis uh with their their National Title there so I’m going to skip uh Notre Dame again in 1966 that’s right Notre Dame you have a lot of national titles where at least two people agreed to give you the title um we’re g to give this here to 1969 Penn State I know everybody hates this already uh the West Virginia fan and the pit fan this is not nice not nice um they’re they’re co-national Champion uh they were named by fact fct and sagron which fact is the foundation for analysis of competitions in tournament [ __ ] that does sound like some [ __ ] it does uh you click on fact if you want to do that in Wikipedia uh it was founded by David Rothman an American statistician public policy adviser and the creator of a computerized college football ranking system fake this is all fake fake okay that’s a talk about this that’s AI That’s AI okay we don’t have to talk about 1969 Penn State if you don’t want to they won them they won the Orange Bowl they beat all they beat everyone they played they’re they’re their one ranked team they played besides the being was ranked 17 West Virginia and they did beat them pretty badly yeah uh I mean had a great no one liked that no one liked that all right we could we could skip that one you know because again we’re a little biased on the podcast sorry danger we like you we’re gonna skip uh 19 State didn’t Coast on that for 20 years let’s keep going we’re gonna skip yeah they did um we’re gonna skip 1973 Notre Dame because again you know again Notre Dame you’re everywhere with the independence you know again uh we’re going to go to 197 on the bicentennial oh we’re going to Johnny Major’s pit now okay Johnny Major’s pit consensus National Title winner number one in the coaches number one in the AP offensive coordinator Joe azano their defense I love the name of the defense the basic 50 yeah amazing their offensive scheme their offensive scheme the Veer hell yeah it was the Veer yeah it was the ve their offensive scheme was Tony Dorset let’s be correct Heisman winner Heisman winner Tony Dorset yes um I don’t know if he won it this year did he yeah he did okay in 76 yes also uh graduate assistant Dave wanat yeah GA wanat amazing so I want to give a shout out to this schedule here they won their first game of the season at Notre Dame 3110 on ABC in 76 which is like you know again then they went to at Georgia Tech won 4214 uh home against Temple 217 at Duke 4431 home against Louisville 27-6 uh home against Miami Florida 36 uh 19 at Navy 45 nothing home against Syracuse their bit Rivals the orange 2313 um against Army 37-7 uh the backyard braw on ABC West Virginia they they Eed out a win 2416 once again the largest crowd at pit Stadium That season it’s weird how that always happens I don’t know it’s crazy then they welcomed in number 16 Penn State they beat Penn State’s ass 247 uh and then they they traveled on down to the kamisha’s Homeland the Louisiana super doome and they beat number five Georgia 20 73 in front of 76,000 folks in the Louisiana super doome important to note uh particularly given Beth attempting to get in a jab about attendance that the Penn State game was played at Three Rivers yep and was still smaller yeah I believe it perfect so uh we had Notre D again in 77 we had the 19 or more you like because we gotta make sure we do our American thing too we got to make sure time okay so 1980 uh pit Panthers they won the national title right but uh you does not claim that title but yes it doesn’t claim it but they have three people that claim it devoid FR which is the college football researchers Association and the New York Times fake also fact and Sagarin give them the title there uh the the name of the head coach was Jackie Sheryl from Texas A&M Fame and Mississippi State Fame lovely Jackie Cheryl was the one that made the creepy A&M mascot we hate so much that’s right the Old Sarge that was a Jackie Cheryl creation and and and probably the rest of these are kind of recent memory uh 1933 Miami Hurricane 1983 not 33 uh 1983 miam hurricanes old are you yeah I I you know the first national championship he saw live back in my day in 1933 and we were just getting out of the Great Depression the Hurricanes just brought the entire no no oh if you 93 you were like the worst is over we really got to talk about your the next couple years 1933 the depression it was over yeah and then then it got real then yeah Okay no Okay close enough Huber was gone it’s fine we had FDR we’re cool God damn it just to tell you where everyone’s like my God where everyone’s like mental in this is right now guys I just typed in 1933 to look something up and the first thing that comes up is 1933 enabling act just so just so we’re we’re mentally where we’re all at right now we are all very much having our Arthur blue tarski like did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor no moment tonight and that’s fine that’s very American USA we’re talking about independence here we are independent from thought and everything else it’s great um and then we had ASU yeah Miami won it in 83 because you know they they stopped the Corn Huskers going for two which is again a a ballsy call by Tom Osborne I applaud it to this day uh 86 Penn State the allons Vinnie test threw that game uh I’ll just say that uh 88 uh we don’t even know who the head coach was for Notre Dame they won that game I have no idea who that was I have no idea what he probably doesn’t remember that either uh and then you know 89 the Miami Hurricanes um that’s that’s the one right like that’s that’s the last one that we can remember uh the head coach Dennis Erikson 11-1 uh give a shout out to them their only loss was to Florida State 2410 on ESPN I always forget that Dennis Ericson has a national title because like you look at the rest of his like you look at his career and it’s just so all over the place are K Dennis D Dennis Ericson has two that’s like he was also Idaho’s head coach twice likee I don’t know what to do with this information I wrote an article about Dennis Erikson like like where in the world is this C what was the one was it like their their history but like it is it is incredible like he been everywhere he was amazing Montana State Billings Idaho Fresno State San Jose State Idaho Wyoming Washington State Miami Seattle Oregon State 49ers Idaho again Arizona State South Albany High School in Oregon Utah the Salt Lake stallions and he’s retired at the time Seahawks right everywhere I just want to give his highlights real quick Dennis Ericson shout out two-time National Champion uh Big Sky Champion once two-time pack 10 TR Champion three-time Big East Champion uh two Time Sporting News coach of the year three time pack 10 coach of the year three time Big East coach of the year and the state of Washington Sports Hall of Fame that’s so [ __ ] wild for Dennis Erikson oh my God again this is a man coached Idaho football twice twice in two separate stops twice he’s the Grover Cleveland of Idaho football and still and he coached Idaho twice and compiled a lifetime coach head coaching record of 17996 and one I can’t oh my God they were just they were just built different back in the day I just want to go over we’ll just skip this one because we’re running the on time so I’m just going to go as fast as possible it it again is the Independence Bowl here you can try to go as fast as possible but we’re going to say [ __ ] so don’t I’m going do this I I’ll do this I just want to go over the previous names of the Independence Bowl it was it it was started in 1976 which you get on the bicentennial uh 1976 here so the previous names of the Independence Bowl was just the Independence Bowl from 1976 to 1989 classic the pulan weed eater Independence Bowl from 1990 to 1997 it’s really early for a for like a it was one of the like first few bowl games to have a sponsor uh theend B an innovator the Independence Bowl and innovator then there was the Sanford Independence Bowl from 1988 to 2000 the main State Independence Bowl from 2001 to 2003 then they just didn’t have a sponsor for two years the Independence Bowl from 2004 to 200 they were independent yeah they were independent all the women who are independent throw your hands up at me uh then they had the Petro Sun Independence Bowl from 2006 to 2008 then they had the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl from 2008 to 2012 I forgotten that that’s right ULM played in the AdvoCare V100 Independence Bowl in 2012 and then AdvoCare was like no [ __ ] it we’re buying the entire Bowl it is just the AdvoCare V100 bll 2013 then AdvoCare was like we’re out of here [ __ ] you sh for uh we are moving on we are now called The Duck Commander Independence Bowl for 2014 this was the stupidest one yep that that was the best honestly I I I don’t know the weed eater the weed eater was around for nearly a decade though I know it was it was a main stay it was my favorite I love the fact that a reality TV show based off of a company from West Monroe Louisiana that makes duck calls that was on AMC was able to get enough money and said [ __ ] it we’re sponsoring a bowl game and streetport there’s hope for us remember before AMC had like mad men in real TV shows and they used to have things like Dynasty it was incredible it was nuts so after the Independence Bowl like went and left in like one year then there was the Camping World Independence Bowl from 2015 to 2016 which you notice caming World moved on to like Orlando they bought the stadium they bought the [ __ ] Stadium they’re like [ __ ] [ __ ] Street for we’re buying the [ __ ] stadium in Orlando then in 2017 it was the Walk-Ons Independence Bowl which is is basically it’s it’s it’s a chain restaurant called Walk-Ons okay Walk-Ons yeah won’s beastro which is we that we’re not no cinjun like yeah um and then um you know it’s been since 2020 it’s been sponsored by radian Technologies uh the plan match up for the Independence Bowl this year is army versus the Pack 12 okay but there’s I I oh Army’s been better never mind they’ll make a bowl okay and and remember that the Pack 12 schools all keep their old tie-ins yes that’s the important thing to remember here that’s right they are not part of their new conferences for tie-in purposes so we’re still going to have some really stupid [ __ ] there’s there’s a good chance y’all the Alamo bow is going to be two conference members a conference game hell yeah have good chance conference bowl game you know what it would be funny if like you know the out of conference bowl game uh is like Utah versus Kansas State which is not a conference game or whatever I think what was that is it Utah or is it like Arizona versus Kansas State I can’t can’t remember who it is yeah they’re doing the non-conference conference game yeah yeah the non is it Utah Baylor Utah Utah Baylor it could be that yeah um I think Kansas State’s involved with like Arizona too but like there’s a couple of them apparently uh but that’d be funny if they matched up in the alamoo bile again uh which would be great it could possibly happen um I just want to give a shout out for the Independence Bowl um the shout out to the 2000 edition of the Independence Bowl the Snowbowl game between Texas S&M and Mississippi State it went to OT uh just crazy snow everywhere and like Mississippi State you know and Texas A&M they’re both the same colors now they’re in the same conference they had the lay we alternate jerseys uh if you catch that one on YouTube you can check it out at any point in time it’s amazing give give it a watch now our mascot brawl continues mascot brawls this is our Mas costume mascot brawl where we were taking Mascots from across conferences and having them fight it out for Supremacy we just did the no we did the Mountain West Commish who won our Mountain West pole uh Benny the Beaver it wasn’t close Okay Benny the Beaver wins it Benny the Beaver uh good job listeners you are correct I mean you know they they just probably realized that Benny the Beaver had a chainsaw and it was not close which I think we may have a big Oregon State Hive um which I have no problem with that you know shout out Corvalis love Yeah Benny the Beaver had 53% of the vote so so now we have the American Conference rules are they go head-to-head randomly y we can argue what everything we want for them but these are the costume mascots so you don’t get to be a one part of this unless you are a horse that has had penalty Flags thrown on it hi guys our first matchup is gust T from Tulsa versus versus the army mule y’all the Army mule mascot is jacked it’s got those it’s got the furry ABS oh yeah hey shout out congratulations to everyone going to anthron this week enjoy it okay I just I just threw the like I just threw the the the Army mule in there okay yeah it’s he doesn’t wear a shirt y’all I have I like that he’s kind of f like fluffy how about one of him wearing sexy suspenders yeah you like that I think after com probably does and then we have Gus te the newest form of gust te that commiss has just dropped in the chat where he looks like his head is the poop emoji why are his eyes so close together I don’t know I don’t know it’s so bad his head used to look like a pea so oh no like the current version of Gusty is by far not the worst just so we’re clear oh there’s there’s been worse versions of the Tulsa mascot I mean the Tulsa mascot I mean the the fart cloud mascot I uh the troll one is my favorite oh my God oh my God yep uh oh I like that one can I can we can I go with the can I go with the mule here the mule is absolutely K like kicking gusty’s ass I don’t care if he’s like theoretically a hurricane or whatever like there’s no way they’ve managed to have a a costume mascot in this mule that has the cartoon abs but also looks like it has abs under the cartoon abs so for double ABS Reasons I’m going to have to give this win to the mule I mean I the mule is a is a Cadet right yes probably does have abs under the ab okay next I mean honestly like yeah I I I just don’t think like Gusty I’m just trying to think of like a a mule like fighting Gusty kind of looks a little bit like a cinnamon roll like ainab mascot cinnam what was it what is what is that Cinnabon like its head is cinnamon I found something new with the field of cinnamon rolls this okay Panera they’ve discontinued their lemonades which is a loss for Humanity yeah they have responded by now if you go to Panera for breakfast you can get a breakfast sandwich on a cinnamon roll okay like they cut the cinnamon roll half you can get like egg and cheese and SAU about that may I ask a question about gust yeah what’s going on with his Cales oh the fact that he has fake calves yeah yeah they’re part of the costume yeah he’s wearing like it looks very much like he’s wearing like flesh tone baseball socks yeah no there’s lots wrong with us if if Gus T yeah there’s no pading on the thighs whatsoever it’s just like here’s normal thighs but behold my Cubs if if Gusty was still Captain Kane you know instead I would give Captain Kane the nod but we gotta move with the Army mule here it’s going going forward next up we have rocky DB from USF and Rowdy the Road Runner oh now I I H I’m I’m gonna lean towards Rowdy just on gut here folks because I am a UTSA fan I’ve been very clear about this Rocky’s kind of doofy looking and I am struggling to articulate why he I think some of it is that he doesn’t really look like a bull he looks like a gorilla that they slapped horns on I can see that yeah I mean you can see Rocky debbull dabbing here oh that’s such a specific that’s GNA get for sure from such a specific time period now I have a question cuz seeing many versions of Rowdy here and I don’t like blue Rowdy I don’t think that’s current Rowdy I think current Rowdy is like the like navy blue black Rowdy I pre mou yeah I I prefer that Rowdy I think but I y’all it’s a bull versus a Road Runner and I think the bull the bull gets him here I I am reasonably confident in Rowdy’s ability to meet Meep his way out of a situation I would like especially with something as easily baited as a bow you just you meet Meep and then you run away and the bow runs into a wall and you win I’d like to agree with you but then I saw a closeup of Rowdy and I’m not sure that I have any faith in Rowdy’s ability to do anything yeah oh yeah that’s not a great look for him not a great look for him yeah not a great look I think I’m saying I with his eye like why is his eye like tilted towards the ground why do he have lipstick uh y’all I found a picture I need to use for something else okay bring back this version it’s it’s a really old creepy mascot version of Rowdy looking like he’s about to murder eight cheerleaders with his unnaturally sharp beak Shar which is open but only towards the inside of his mouth oh it’s so horrifying okay look his beak is closed but you can also see through his open mouth my beak is closed yet I must scream I’m looking at the at the M that picture it has that has to be where the eyes were for like the person in the map we we need to that picture yeah um like enhance yeah oh yeah give yeah I’ll get that okay uh I yeah if you’re all going like you know the the bull South Florida I I am still voting for routing but I accept that I will probably be outvoted in this Beth where you at I’m going to go with Rocky okay we’ll go with Rocky D bull then Rowdy Arthur got yeah Arthur oh I got the bull got the bull next up we have Blaze the dragon from UAB and Bill the goat from Navy oo tough match up I don’t know that I know what the Navy goat mascot looks like he looks unbelievable friendly yeah I was expecting way more Angry Eyebrows so I mean have you looked at Blaze oh my God Dragon hi it’s almost like a a dragon horse oh no Blaze no Blaze looks not entirely dissimilar to the dragon from Dutch Wonderland he I whose Name Escapes me oh he’s a does have wings but like this is just you would think I would remember the Dutch Wonderland dragon’s name Duke his name is Duke it’s the little tongue these two are having a friendship off yeah I don’t know who oh my God this is I don’t know who wins this okay if the na mascot looks very Earnest the UAB mascot looks absolutely vapid yes I feel like my high school had a better dragon costume than I mean sun look at Sunni courtland’s Dragon oh that’s a good Dragon that’s a good [ __ ] Dragon he’s a bitey lad his name is Blaze too and he’s much better well no that’s not true he is much more fearsome I I like uab’s Blaze but he does look very much like a like a child’s theme park Dragon kamish where did you find angry goat I I I just looked it up and I just typed in build a goat and it’s just oh my God that’s is like that version is mean as hell I like that one a lot yeah wins but but he won’t be fighting no you’re right damn it I’m gonna give it to the dragon on this simply because its mouth is bigger and that’s not a very good criteria but it’s what I’ve got to work with so that’s what I’m going to say I feel like Bill and blae just sort of like hug it out and come to a mutually agreeable conclusion about who should Advance they don’t actually fight like we just get like yeah we have a Ferdinand the bow off do we have to give it to Navy though then as a like oh UA uh Blaze would be like no sir you’re the troops we have to you know you get to go on yeah probably the UAB mascot Blaze gives me the vibe of thanking the Navy mascot for his service but like saluting in the way that like only like actual soldiers are supposed to salute if that makes sense okay M yeah I got I got Navy moving on I for some odd reason like there’s a picture of of the bill the goat like just walking down the hall that I just found and and you kind of got it set to like Reservoir Dogs or something oh [ __ ] guys the next round It’s Sammy the owl versus Hooter the owl oh owl on owl so I’m I’m gonna be up front I love Sammy the owl from Rice like he is like one of my favorites because he is he is a specific kind of owl he’s not just like is the other one is it Hooter yes Hooter oh god he’s a good boy yeah I know him too I I I remember him being behind the basket at the FAU final four run I look man I I Gotta Give it I Gotta Give is this not temples temples okay there’s a lot of owls in this conference I have to post this every time oh yeah that’s I have to my favorite Sammy now that this is that one is fa’s Hooter the outall yes the the Philly one has scen some stuff I I gotta lean Philly Philly owl wait no we’re not talking about the owl oh wait you’re the FAU owl oh God okay rice owl advances yeah you said Hooter the owl I searched Hooter The Owl and I got temples Hooter apparently wait apparently Sammy is fa’s owlowl which ow I mean we got owl confusion here who’s on first who’s ow is this owle the owl that’s owsley thank you that’s owsley the owl okay Sammy versus owsley what I really like about the FAU owl mascot is that like he really looks like the FAU logo like I feel like a lot of mascots is not necessarily like oh we got a nail like the FAU mascot like I don’t know if they had the mascot first or the logo first but like one was working off the other yeah import important to note that uh according to Faus sports.com owley has like a baby nephew cousin sidekick whatever named hoot I this is probably him hugging hoot I’m gonna guess okay yes I I I’m gonna vote Sammy y’all yeah got Li out uh moving on I do I I do like that they are specifically bur like um sley and Hoot are spe specifically burrowing owls which are very very cute they are not very intimidating so okay here we go next up we have pouncer from Memphis and we have Rip Tide the Pelican from two again I don’t think I’ve ever seen memphis’s mascot I like that t l as an actual pel mascot and then the Pelicans NBA team has that baby oh no I know why Memphis doesn’t bring him out yeah oh why oh he has the most vacant stair oh my God Memphis what Memphis what are you do what is this that Pelican is about to kill that tiger yeah holy [ __ ] that Pelican’s gonna murder him this this tiger is oh Jesus Christ like here’s a picture of him jumping in the air and there’s just nothing in there y’all nope I like the Pelican cuz I know like obviously like real pelicans have a beak but this Pelican has been made to look more like a person so I can’t tell if that’s supposed to be a chin or like a lower beak well they have the like neck pouch thing right that’s what I’m saying but like an actual Pelican that would be attached to the beak Jordan I feel like too humanoid I feel like that picture that you just posted of of pouncer is a huge like it’s so unusual to see a mascot that is of the skinny mascot persuasion doing the Porky Pig mhm it’s it’s weird right it is weird I expect like I expect the more rotund mascots to be the ones that are shirt only no pants Rock doesn’t wear pants Rock has never worn pants oh okay and rock rock is a dirty pervert we all know this loves mom moms we’ve this fat Rock fat fat fat that’s true I’m not gonna make the joke I’m just not I’m gonna need you to take this picture of the Memphis Tiger he’s jumping in the air cut him out and make it look like he’s being abducted by aliens because he’s in the like I’m being beamed up pose yes it’s perfect and his facial expression is also perfect for it yep I got you gotcha got boss so I got I got Rip Tide moving on because rip TI is G rip rip this shreds um the Pelicans mascot that Arthur was talking about um the king Kake baby is only seasonal uh so you have Pierre the Pelican which uh the one that I just posted recently the the one at the bottom that is the original Pierre the P Pelican that was like rejected by New Orleans yeah because it’s horrifying it’s horrifying uh and then you know the one with the King cake baby is the the Revisited Pierre the Pelican uh there so yeah Riptide is moving on and we got Riptide in a two-lane two-lane um you know like football jersey because I mean you don’t really see like the two-lane mascot too much on the sideline but Riptide is there Riptide is also uh basically like the other sports mascot uh for like basketball and then Riptide is the one that is on the bats for the two-lane uniform for baseball okay next up we we have Scrappy from North Texas oh and the miner from Charlotte Scrappy’s like just terrified right Norm Norm the Niner no Scrappy Scrappy is Eugene Levy yeah he is experiencing intense regret yes he does nor the Niner have a weapon this is a bird having an existential crisis yeah CRA looks very concerned at all times I love him so much I mean it’s a relatable expression one of my favorite pictures I’ve ever taken was the one of Scrappy it’s just so he looks so worried and sad all the time it’s so good so this is my favorite image of Scrappy and I have I have I have uh entitled it why God why Scrappy course oh God guys I have one ofra Scrappy crowd surfing you need to see oh God I think in terms of a fight my analysis is that you can’t hurt Scrappy worse than Scrappy’s already been hurt yeah every time he’s doing something amazing it’s just a look I feel like yeah I feel like the miner is gonna come at Scrappy as crap he’s going to be like do you want to hear what’s upsetting me today and the miner’s just going to Forfeit about 45 minutes into the story yeah the psychological damage you’re going to take there yeah goes to Scrappy is Scrappy college football’s Marvin the Paranoid Android yeah yep do do you want to see a picture of uh Norm the Niner in in Florida while wearing Jorts yes I didn’t know I needed that but I do I mean okay there you go here we go enjoy wow is he he’s like holding the Jorts up he’s not wearing oh that’s lame that’s half ass Norm half ass Norm is what they call him next up we have East Carolina and Temple oh so this is this is in fact Hooter the owl this is Hooter the owl yes East Carolina do they have a cost mascot they do they have PD the pirate PE e d e he’s named after the River and the py Indian Nation probably uh he yeah but it’s not a great sword he’s not he’s not a great like mascot I won’t lie I think Hooter’s pretty good and he’s from Philly I mean I’ll take a sword over an owl I mean that you’re thinking that’s what we’re thinking about right is the like yeah I kind of feel like that PD the pirate makes the temple owl its Shoulder Buddy okay and they team up I’ll buy that they I I think they’re a team now like the pirate in Philly like this is kind of like you know this is kind of Pennsylvania esque here but the Pirates sure Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Unite Here on rare occasions they do maybe in Thea in the occasion of Andrew mccashion but Commish I know you posted it too I just enjoyed that we both found the picture of uh Hooter the owl mansplaining something to an actual owl that was me not Kish okay this is my favorite picture of Hooter because he’s I’m not sure I like that you read this picture as him mansplaining being an owl to an actual owl I see this as sort of a like like we are making first Contact between two alien species I just I love that’s idea of him going like hey do you know about eating food at night do you do that that’s the best head around like real far oh look I can turn my head can you do that did you know you can do that I got I got py and and and the temple owl just coming together man you’re [ __ ] you’re [ __ ] up my bracket we actually had an even bracket for once no can I I I I’m not opposed to this kamish but I would like to take to take this moment to point out that while Petey does have a sword he also only has one eye and so all Hooter has to do is Peck out the other eye and then it’s over but I mean unless pety is like Jean Claude vanam and Blood Sport I thought you were gonna say Jean B and I was very confused I’m gonna go with the musical aspect here like commiss like like wow I got something way different at Miss I can’t believe you weren’t paying attention Jordan you were just there I got something very different out of that I mean I I gotta go with the pirate I saw on the news I think it was today or yesterday that Hooters the like the restaurant chain the the restaurant chain I should say um is no longer a sponsor of hendrik Motorsports in NASCAR because they couldn’t pay their bills yeah but Hooter a is coming back I don’t know I don’t know that’s why I’m going with the pirate I can’t go with the Hooter okay so what how would we all end up I got a tag team here okay I will go with kamish just to [ __ ] up your bracket actually yeah sure I’m tag teaming [ __ ] I hate all of you fine let’s do it for well that just means I’ll have okay you know what I’ll figure this out it’s fine we gotta go fast anyways okay first one you know what I’m going to give Army a pass to the next round because cuz AR cuz Army is the [ __ ] Army there we go Army who are they who would they be fighting against they’re G against Rocky debol okay yeah no that’s yeah my money’s on the mule anyway yeah arm in the final four Army is in the final four can you imagine it’s like the lobby at anthron and jacked Army mu walks in are we also advancing navy God damn it we have to do both fine we Dan Army and Navy that means it’s Rocky debbull versus Sammy the owl this one hurts me I I think the bull wins yeah I think it does too okay I love I love I love Sammy so much because he’s like a real [ __ ] looking owl he’s not a cartoon owl he’s an owl owl I guess they’re all owl owls owl owls okay so we had Rocky coming through on that one and then we’ll have to have a three-way fight I guess poat has arrived to fight your owl we got the Pelican okay we got Scrappy the eagle and then we have the pirate owl Mecca combine I mean I’m going with the tag team because there’s two of them they outnumber others yeah two mascots three eyes Scrappy okay there we go yep that could be the podcast title right there two masc got three eyes so we got Army Navy and two bazongas hey that’s right we got to get bazongas in there I and then what what’s the other one we have USF here we go we have Army we have Navy we have USF and we have the tag team of East Carolina and Temple yeah I like that this this I have no notes n this is perfect such sure I mean Rip Tide Rip Tide you know I mean put up a good fight but do so much well and a a pirate would have practice killing Pelicans yeah I also think Scrappy kind of like some of the other mascots that we’ve discussed in other conferences he has a bit and it’s a good bit but it’s probably only going to work once like they’re gonna know that he’s like the so so I have a story I want to tell you the thing no no no especially because ecu’s mascot’s a pirate he knows what Sirens are he’s going to show up with earplugs M I also feel like PD the pirate is probably not a good listener no ECU pirate py just St Scrappy Scrappy just walks up on the sword and just goes thank you for letting me end I like the idea of pety and Hooter as a falconry pair yeah I I love it you Le you lead out a giant [ __ ] walking owl in a hood that’s weird on your arm so weird yep okay that’s it so we need you the listeners to vote between Army Navy USF and the East Carolina Temple tag team the E the ECU Temple tag team we’ll post that up for next week happy Independence Day if you started we just put this way however many fingers you started this week with please end that we this week with that same number of fingers or more I I hope so I if
