15:41 That was an absolute joke roll. And then an and one on the other end for Michigan State to cut it back to three. What a joke that Duke shot was that it went in.

20:05 What you looking at, Pete? This is it. You got to get him off the field on this series. That's that's that's can't have it. Can't have it. Too easy. Second and 15. Way too easy. ours.

21:04 Dangerous throw. Are we definitely sure that that's backwards? That's backwards. I think that was backwards, Pete. All right, get him off the field.

21:47 I do think that was a backwards pass. That last one, they didn't reverse it. They didn't even look at it. Okay, what are they going to do for it here? Put him in an interesting spot. What are they going to do? They're going to go for this.

22:26 This is game. This is game. Game game. This is game. No flag. All right, Petey. We're right in this, Petey.

23:07 Huge play there. Got a little fancy Texas Tech. All right, go down and score. We're right in this [ __ ] puppy. Was that pass interference? It could have been pass interference. All right, hanging around. hanging around. Hi.

23:38 Peach is in the other room. She'll probably come by at some point. I got I got uh the money line and spread.

23:46 Yeah, I agree with that. Should have kicked a field goal. Make it a two-score game because we can't really move. Hello Peter. It was probably pass interference.

24:07 Blutman want. Oh, Blutman send in the backwards pass. Was right on it. But I mean that play made up for it.

24:22 Yeah, the CEO Crumble did tweet at me. Maybe if BYU I said I had the tunnel for towers last night. So I said if we uh if BYU advances we can talk.

24:34 Dave, I'm already excited for Michigan basketball. I already bet him to win the national championship. Very excited.

24:51 I wish I had not been at Michigan State today. I'll tell you that much. Hi Petey. Petey the boy. Are you on stream when you're down here? Petey.

25:06 Yeah. Purdue got [ __ ] roasted by Iowa State. Pay want on dawn. He's already paid. I should start deducting when people like start saying people who pay this person, pay that person, pay Kate, pay on Don. Uh, deducted, deducted, deducted.

25:39 No. No. Listen, I don't want Notre Dame fans. I've said this a million times. I have no respect for Notre Dame and their fans. I used to respect them. I don't respect them. I I if Notre Dame can look me in the eye be like, "We have no business being in the playoffs, but we're Notre Dame, so [ __ ] you and we're in." Fine. I can accept that. Any Notre Dame fan who's trying to make a rational argument on why they're in over BYU is a loser with no pride, no ethical moral compass, nothing. There's no argument in the world BYU gets in. I mean, Nordan gets in over BYU. BYU has a better strength of the schedule, two wins, uh, better wins versus top 25 teams, better record verse top 25 teams, harder schedule, better uh, less losses, plays in the conference, everything. Notre Dame has no business. Not didn't beat one team all year. You had a chance to Notre Dame twice. You lost twice. You shouldn't be in the playoffs. So, I have

26:30 no respect for Notre Dame. Now, let's go get a touchdown. All right. I mean, that World War II to get one yard. We're going to have to open up. I feel like I'm watching Michigan's offense here. We don't throw the ball more than a yard down the field. Is this

26:51 That was probably pass interference if we're being honest. See, I can be honest. Provo Dave. That's what I've learned. You You got to tell the truth. That was probably pass interference. All right. Go get a touchdown. Put some game pressure. I don't even know how we're going to get the ball down the field if we're being honest.

27:22 Did Iowa not want you at the Iowa Oregon game? Of course not. No truth to that. I love Iowa. Pay Bosco deducted. I don't even know. Yeah, I may shut down Bush Gambling Gaming for being annoying if they keep with the comments. How about that? I'll just shut the whole [ __ ] thing down. It's my team. I own 100% of it. I don't know how we're going to get four yards here.

28:01 Did we call it? Don't like that. Oh, brother. I don't like using that timeout right there. Pay Rico deducted. Pay SAS deducted. Pay Nikki Spokes. Nothing to deduct from.

28:23 Hi, John Fanta. We tried. That was a bad timeout. Pay sass deducted. I don't have a live TD score for BYU. I

28:39 I don't know. I honestly don't know how we're going to go down and score. This chat is going so goddamn fast. I can't read it. It's going at lightning speed.

28:58 Is there a way to slow it down? It's going too [ __ ] fast. I can't read anything. I

29:07 what? Yeah, it's it's it's [ __ ] hypers speed. I think you sped it up, Austin.

29:36 Look, look how [ __ ] fast this thing's going. How the [ __ ] are you supposed to read that?

29:46 Tell me anybody can read that. Is this on the thing? It's lightning speed. It's honestly just going too fast. Like someone just paid 1999. I can't even see what it said. It was gone before a second.

30:23 [sighs] I am so upset about that that I bet Michigan State. And I put a lot on Michigan State like a [ __ ] dummy. A [ __ ] dummy. Je [ __ ] You know who gave me that pick? Bosow. Bosow. Michigan State. You don't know. Dick Bosow. [ __ ] wish I never saw that. Western Michigan's up 236. That's the end of that. God damn it. Yeah, it's still too fast.

30:59 Okay, now it's good. Now it's good. Says slow mode is on. Send a message, everyone. Now it's not moving at all.

31:08 All right, now it's good. Huh? It's moving now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm good now.

31:18 Dave, let's get you in better shape. Not now buddy. Not Not now. Yeah, you're on slow mode. I I am an absolute broken record, but like the fact that BYU has to win this game to get in the playoffs is such an incredible joke. All right.

32:06 You had them earlier. They they they're playing in a phone booth. Like everything is in a phone booth. There's 9,000 guys in this area.

32:26 Like that's not getting completed anyways. This could be the end of Provo, Dave. You have to throw the ball downfield at this point. I feel like a broken record with the Michigan game, but you you're going to lose if you don't anyway. So, what's the point? You have to throw the ball more than two yards.

33:38 Very important two-point conversion for those of us who have them at 12 and a half.

33:56 Tackle. What the hell type of tackle is that? Just two [ __ ] guys sitting there, right? What the [ __ ] kind of tackle was that? I don't like this tire. I actually I'm not going to turn I like Texas Tech and I like the Big 12. So, I'm not going to get angry at Texas Tech, but like you a let's try to come back. Let's not give up. I don't know how you don't tackle that guy. Two-point conversion.

35:22 First quarter, that happened quick, but you felt like that was going to happen like You felt like that was a matter of time is the way I'm looking for it. You got to throw it. You got to You got to throw it more than a yard. You got to throw it more than a yard.

37:09 Nice pass. Oh, he dropped it. Texas. It's not Not looking good. At least the BYU sidelines still kind of into it. Nice play,

40:13 buddy. What do you John? It doesn't matter. You made the play you need like they're going to punt anyways. You made the play you need to make. Very good defense.

40:27 Mama, your arm is in the air. What? comfortable. Got to go get a touchdown to even make this remotely interesting.

40:57 Right, Mom? throw the ball. You can't run them first and second. There you go. There you go.

41:43 You got to throw the ball if they want chance. I can't see this the comments from here and I'm not mama's here. Okay,

42:31 bye. Are you What are you doing? You want to come in here? What? What are you doing? You want your bed in here?

43:02 You want a bed? I don't know what you want. You're looking at me now. All right. We need a miracle fourth quarter. Obviously down two scores. What mama? Down two score. Totally dominated. Totally dominated.

43:23 Davey gets paid off. Should be a stream title today. What does that mean? We're in the Keys house.

43:29 Pay the vet. What does that mean? Bring big noon kickoff to Eugene next year. No, listen. BYU is getting BYU losing right now has absolutely no factor at all and I can't state this enough on whether they belong in the playoffs. They thousand% belong in the playoffs.

44:00 Thousand%. Yes, I have a past Super Bowl future. Yeah, this team belongs in the playoffs. It's not Listen, Yogi Catfish. Yes, they belong in the playoffs. It's the body of work over the season. Yeah, Tech is very good. Tech is a national championship contender.

45:24 Not to mention, I'm starving. The the quarterback play the quarterback's playing on a broken ankle. The two score game. We go down. We got I said it beforehand.

45:44 They should be in regardless. You're going to open it up and let Now you got to open it up and try to try to try to win the game because news flash, you're not getting the playoffs because the committee is dumb. So just running on first and second, you had a drop there in the last series, but now it's two scores. Got him. That's what I I don't get it. I I don't It's I get trying to play within yourself, but it's almost like watching Michigan. It's like you you can't if you don't throw the ball more than two or three yards downfield. You have no ch chance.

46:33 Yeah. Morton has been playing with a fractured foot. What do you want? A cookie instrumental heaven. I like Texas Tech. Now I got to catch I got a flight to catch. Shut it down.
