Transcript excerpt: So I understand why you're doing it and I'm clearly very positive about their outlook for the season. I think they're a college football playoff contender, ACC Championship contender and because of that, I feel very comfortable going over the eight and a half. It gives you're going to win this fall for coach, pritchered and coach luck. Stanford Cardinal, having over under win total of three and a half over minus 125. I had draft Kingsports book under minus 105. You know, it's I told you that it was something that I kind of clocked with my ear here in and here in the words coach luck get mentioned by Davis Warren. So I bought, bought, bought, bought, you know, like we've already had some great moments with with Stanford's general manager who's very hands on in the process. Look here, let's go positive. Michael Ford is a very, very talented running back and they were able to, you know, keep him in the fold. That's a great thing. Davis Warren was once identified, I believe by Tom Finelli as a Mac quarterback. Is that going to get it done at Stanford? Like that that's really I can go in depth or I could just it's your quarterback battle and we're assuming Davis Warren is a starter. But if it's not, it's Dylan Risk, who's a transfer from UCF who didn't play last year either. And when he did play a couple years ago, wasn't exactly confidence inspiring. But if Davis Warren is your quarterback going into the season, how am I supposed to have confidence in the season? Like this was a guy who at Michigan, when he was surrounded by far better talent than what he surrounded by at Stanford, couldn't get the job done. I don't think he's going to be able to get the job done at Stanford either. And even if the overall level of competition he faces on a weekly basis is lower than what he was facing in Michigan, I just, he's no longer on a team that's going to be more talented than with the one they're facing either way. So I like I look at the Jews on there. I'm trying to figure out why the hell the books are more confident they're going over than under based on those numbers. Like give me the under. I don't know that they're winning three games, let alone four. I mean, look, Hawaii's dealing with some injuries makes it more likely Stanford or the Stanford gets that one. Like at Duke at Wake, I think there's a shot that could get one of those maybe, you know, like I'm not max-compensate those teams are awesome this year. I think one of your problems is that you're, you don't have a lot of like the hey, if they have a let down game, we can pick them off at home games here. And like that where the travel really plays and the overlook like mine. Right after they play Notre Dame. This is the team that lost that cow. But Cal does have a little bit different personnel. Like they play basically all of the best ACC teams at home. Like the teams that I think are like can roll out their C game and still beat Stanford Stanford's a game. You know, like Georgia Tech's maybe the one that's like closest to their level, you know, but Hawaii and Elon should be win. So it's basically like can you hunt up two other wins? Three and a half was a really low price. I don't show an edge here. I think this is probably well priced to be honest, but I don't really see much in this roster either. So I guess I gotta give a pick. Don't love it, but I mean, yeah. You got to get somebody swimming season will be here before you know it's Stanford fans. I'm gonna be on Stanford to beat Hawaii though. I don't know that they will. There's gonna be some that'll be Stanford Super Bowl. There's gonna be a lot of buzz on the bows. You know, everyone every Johnny on the spot who remembers watching standard definition whack games. It's gonna be yearning for that Hawaii win. I'll have my nerd glasses on and we'll watch a watch watch Stanford get the ACC off to a good start there. I think they can get that one. I will give Stanford some credit in that. Hey, they're not trying to dodge Notre Dame. They're letting him stay on the schedule. Turning our attention to the Syracuse orange where the schedule is very, very, very difficult. I can promise you there's a clear. I'd view of what this exactly is. You're gonna be down. We mentioned the I guess we were mid show right mid mail bag when we were reminded about Calvin Russell being out. That's disappointing a huge recruiting win, but Steve Angeli is back when Steve Angeli was healthy. This Syracuse beat Clemson, you know, I mean, this is a group led by frame Brown one 10 games two years ago.
