00:00At 9 p.m. UNLV and Ohio, a three and a half point favorite to a six and a half point favorite, a total of 65 and a half and bowl season, Tom.
00:08But before we get there, we're going to talk about the Scooters Coffee Bowl.
00:11What did they pay? A dollar to sponsor this bowl?
00:15Certainly, I think at least a dollar to sponsor this one.
00:19UNLV on the road, six and a half point favorites.
00:22They've been a good ATS team this year.
00:24Coming away with wins, I would say that this is a step up in class for Ohio, who we have to remember, as we spoke about last week, Donnie, fire their head coach.
00:33So they will be operating with a new head coach after the allegations that he is under.
00:37So give me UNLV to cover.
00:39I don't know about the total, but they're going to come away with a win.
00:43Yeah, you shouldn't know about the total in the Scooters Bowl.
00:45By the way, the FanDuel Network should actually buy that bowl here and try to advertise so that it can stay in business at this point.
00:50How about that? Scooters?
00:51Have you ever heard of Scooters, Tom?
00:54Honestly, like Scooters Coffee, was it?
00:57No.
00:57I wonder if it's like a little mom and pop shop.
01:01You know what I mean?
01:02It's like, hey, you know what?
01:03We'll just sponsor this bowl at this point.
01:04Never heard of my life.
01:05And by the way, nobody be watching that game, so you wasted your money on that sponsorship here.
01:09Let's move forward.
01:09Now, this was a rite of passage here for a long time, Tom.
01:12California and Hawaii and the Sheridan-Hawaii Bowl.
01:14Hawaii always gets this bowl, and they always did a service.
01:17Because years and years and years, Tom, I was growing up.
01:19You know what we used to watch on Christmas Eve?
01:21There were no sports on.
01:22It was the best of ESPN highlights throughout the year that they ran on a loop for like 10 hours.
01:28That's all we got.
01:29Thank you, Hawaii, for coming in.
01:30So, when I get angry at bowl season, this might be the only bowl that should be there as a standalone game on Christmas Eve at 8 p.m.
01:36It's Cowets, Hawaii.
01:37Minus one and a half now.
01:38Hawaii is a favorite.
01:4052 and a half as a total.
01:42At least there's something to watch on Christmas Eve.
01:44Thank you, Sheridan-Hawaii Bowl.
01:45I'll say this, that, you know, Hawaii, 6-1 at home this year.
01:50If there's any team I'm going to back with significant home field advantage, it's going to be Hawaii.
01:55With the travel that a mediocre Cal team has to endure, you know, we're just basically picking the money line at this point.
02:02If we want to go there, I think that's fine.
02:03The one and a half is also going to be there.
02:05But I think Hawaii keeps it up, and they improved to 7-1 at home this year.
02:09You know, we're pretty good.
02:10Our graphics guys are really good in the background.
02:12The producers always put us in the most lights here.
02:15But sometimes I wish, like, did you ever see the meme, Tom, where you see the one kid, he, like, goes, peace, and he sort of, like, dips off the screen and disappears and just, like, leaves the guy next to him who's still there.
02:24Like, Tom, I wish I could go like this, and I would disappear from the screen and leave you up here because you love bowl season.
02:30I don't know if you actually do, but you probably do.
02:32I can't stand bowl season, but we do have to talk about it.
02:35But also, I can appreciate this.
02:38See, there you go.
02:39Perfect.
02:40They did it.
02:40Right on the fly.
02:41I'm out.
02:42Peace.
02:42Can we do that?
02:43Hold on.
02:43Put me back up on the screen.
02:44Put me back up there.
02:45All right.
02:45Can we time it up for my peace button right here?
02:47All right.
02:48We're going to talk bowl season, guys, today.
02:50Peace.
02:52Yeah, we can talk bowl season here today.
02:54There's so much going on.
02:55Action today.
02:56Utah State, 2 p.m., hosting Washington State in the, what is this, the Idaho Famous Potato Bowl, which is unbelievable.
03:05That there's not a team from Idaho playing in the Idaho Potato Bowl.
03:10Right off the jump, no interest in this game.
03:12I will say, as we talked about before, also credit to Washington State, Donnie.
03:17They could be using the same meme that you use when they no longer have a home in the conference and everyone's leaving them.
03:22And that's what we should be talking about in this spot.
03:25But I would say points in this game, first and foremost, points to start.
03:30But it's a coin flip game, Donnie.
03:32You want to go there.
03:33What does the winning team get?
03:34Do they get some, they get extra potatoes?
03:36French fries.
03:37Give me some hash browns.
03:39Nice, crispy hash browns.
03:40Oh, there you go.
03:42There you go.
03:43Now, see, Tom's got it on the way.
03:44Because, by the way, underrated, really crispy hash browns at breakfast, man.
03:49Like, you know, I don't talk about the hash browns.
03:50You go to McDonald's.
03:51You get, like, the hash browns, which I do enjoy those.
03:52Don't get me wrong.
03:53But the home fries slash hash browns with that baked-in top that's extra crispy.
03:58Boy, you cannot go wrong.
04:00Sometimes, too, they hide on you, Tom.
04:01Hold on.
04:02You ever go out to, like, a breakfast?
04:03You go, okay, let me go out and get breakfast.
04:04Like, let me get the home fries or whatever.
04:06They come, like, it's the little potatoes as opposed to, like, the real, like, home fries and hash browns.
04:10See what I mean?
04:10They try to hide it on you.
04:12I want the shredded potatoes that have that nice crust.
04:17What we should be doing, Donnie, in this segment is, like, a top five versions of potatoes.
04:24What are your favorite potatoes?
04:25How are they prepared?
04:26Like, that's what we should be talking about in this segment.
04:28I love it.
04:29Because, Donnie, people that watch the baseball show know that you and I, food is a big topic of conversation for us.
04:36As the show goes on.
04:37So, nice, crispy hash browns, that's what we want.
04:41By the way, also, if I remember this take correctly from you, the worst French fry is, like, a not well-cooked waffle fry.
04:47Was that you?
04:48Or who was that?
04:49100%.
04:49Waffle fries that are not crispy enough are terrible.
04:54Soggy waffle fries are the worst.
04:57But when waffle fries are done correctly, they're great.
04:59But the range of outcomes for waffle fries is massive.
05:04Like, a curly fry, you get a curly fry, you could get through with any kind of curly fry.
05:08But bad waffle fries are horrendous.
05:11Now, see that?
05:12Like, most people would say a lot of time, I don't pay attention to a lot.
05:15Like, the things go right through my head.
05:16But I remember food takes.
05:17Like, I could pull out something eight months ago that Tom said about waffle fries.
05:21Because when I agree with something, I'm certainly going to remember that there at this point.
05:24Let's take a look at the Boca Raton Bowl.
05:26Toledo versus Louisville.
05:27This is not today.
05:28This is tomorrow.
05:28But also a 2 o'clock game.
05:30I sort of respect the hustle.
05:31Put it on midday.
05:32And it's like, I'm still probably not watching it.
05:34But I do find it intriguing.
05:35As opposed to at night, it just upsets me at this point, Tom.
05:38Six and a half point favorites for Louisville.
05:4044 and a half as a total.
05:42How about this?
05:42I don't know anything about either one of these two teams here.
05:44I have watched Louisville play because they beat my Miami Hurricanes.
05:47I'm just going to take the over 44 and a half.
05:48It's a ball game.
05:49We're not kicking field goals.
05:50We're not punting.
05:51We're going for it on fourth down, Tom.
05:52Yeah, lean towards the over, but also just Louisville.
05:56Toledo stepping up in class, going just at least from a G5 team,
05:59stepping up to really a power forward team.
06:02Louisville, if they have any hope of being a premier ACC team,
06:06you should be able to handle Toledo.
06:08This is an early September type of game, Donnie,
06:11where this is the schedule.
06:12It's regionally.
06:13It's close enough that they'll take on this matchup.
06:16I think Louisville should be able to cover this number,
06:18and we should be getting points in this game.
06:20By the way, this next game we're going to talk about, Tom,
06:22this is the New Orleans Bowl.
06:24Shout out to the city of New Orleans.
06:25We were down there for the Super Bowl last year.
06:27It was fantastic.
06:28And by the way, there is a sports bar that's right next to the convention center,
06:32which has us on the entire week.
06:34Now, they didn't know who we were at all,
06:36and I ate every single day at this bistro.
06:39And you know me, Tom.
06:40I'll eat one time a day, so I was dragging Joe Lisi out there.
06:43I was dragging Kevin there.
06:43We ate all week long.
06:44But one of the TVs, the prominent one in the middle,
06:47always had the Sports Grid Network on.
06:50So they're going to probably watch this today and still have it up on the screen.
06:53And they don't have it on with the sound, but maybe they're playing it here.
06:55So shout out Joe's Bistro down in New Orleans,
06:57who supports the Sports Grid Network.
06:59And most importantly, the program we have,
07:02Western Kentucky and Southern Miss,
07:03two and a half point spread here as a favorite towards WKU.
07:06Southern Miss, 57 and a half.
07:07But shout out Joe's.
07:08Damn good Italian food.
07:09I enjoyed my time in New Orleans.
07:11Here's the New Orleans Bowl.
07:12Yeah, I would say the Hilltoppers from Western Kentucky get this one done.
07:17I honestly would play them on the money line
07:19instead of playing them on the spread at this point.
07:21The real question is, Donnie, what was the go-to for you in that part?
07:25Because the one thing I've never had would be beignets,
07:27which I would love to try.
07:29That's where I would want to try some.
07:32Yeah, delicious.
07:32By the way, myself and Kevin Walsh on one of those days,
07:35we actually ate.
07:36He was his first time at, it wasn't pop, raising canes down there.
07:40You know, very nice delicacy, enjoyed it ourselves.
07:42And by the way, a little bit of trivia for that.
07:45Me and Kevin go to raising canes on one of our breaks early in the week.
07:48The Philadelphia Eagles were staying at the hotel on the waterfront
07:51down by the convention center.
07:52So who comes strolling along?
07:54Two gloves, Kenny Pickett rolls up to raising canes and orders.
07:58Now me, I don't like to go up to people.
07:59We knew who it was.
08:00We left them alone.
08:01I'm a big Eagles fan, just left them alone.
08:02But see that?
08:03New Orleans comes up.
08:04That's a bowl you can get down.
08:06The New Orleans Bowl, I'm with it.
08:07How about the Frisco Bowl, Tom?
08:09UNLVN Ohio.
08:10The Mac versus, hey, maybe Mr. Dan Mullins looking to try to improve himself
08:15and get a bowl win here and move up in his competition.
08:17Any thoughts here, Tom?
08:18Again, UNLVN Ohio.
08:20Yeah, we talked about this game a little bit before.
08:22I think Ohio is just in disarray, yeah, with a new coach after being fired
08:28for allegations, which apparently, you know, aren't on the worst side of things.
08:35Extramarital affair that his wife knew about, as we talked about last week.
08:38But let's just take UNLV, the team of a higher quality,
08:42laying less than a touchdown, coming away with the win, Donnie.
08:47There we go.
08:48So, we got the bowls underway.
08:49We're ready to go at this point.
08:51We talked a little in the world.
08:52We talked a little French fry action.
08:53And understand this.
08:54French fries, if I had one food to eat the rest of my life, it would be pizza.
09:00But, Tom, my wife can attest it, and so can my kid.
09:03I've gone out for food so many times, no matter where we're at, what restaurant,
09:06I always get French fries.
09:08I go out to breakfast.
09:09It's like I had the last week.
09:10I had pancakes and a side of mozzarella fries.
09:13I love French fries more than anything.
09:16I do.
09:17Pancakes and mozzi fries for breakfast is crazy.
09:20We're one meal of the day, but we got a lot to talk about.
09:23You got to fit breakfast, lunch, and dinner combinations all at once now.
09:27You'll learn.
09:28You'll get on my bandwagon soon.
