Chapter 1: Why was Mack Brown fired from UNC?
And then they lost and looked like they were actually looking ahead to Texas and not ready to play Auburn this weekend. Auburn went out to a huge three-touchdown lead. Texas A&M clawed their way back, but could not finish it in overtime. That's brutal. That's a brutal soundbite. Auburn tweeted it out after the game. And I don't know how you recover from that if you're Mike Elko.
I think our focus is single-handedly on Auburn right now and locked in on what we got to get done.
Honestly, yeah, I should have put money on Auburn the second that he said that. Also, this is such a little aside. The Texas fan in my life, you can only have one, so I only have one Texas fan in my life, you know, moderation, did not like A&M losing to Auburn, feel significantly less confident going into the ATM Texas game with that Auburn loss. I think that makes things more interesting.
I think I kind of like Texas A&M's chance better than I did before after this loss. I still think Texas is going to win, but Aber es gibt etwas über das Verlangen von Hugh Freeze, das ist wirklich ein Wachstumspfad. Ja, das ist es.
Und ich weiß nicht, ob ich mich gut fühle, wenn ein verletzter Quinn Ewers gegen Texas A&M spielt. Aber du hast recht, sie haben sich total verletzt und einen da gedroht. Aber sie haben trotzdem die Chance, sich gegen Texas zu verdienen, dieses kommende Wochenende, was für die SZC-Championschampion-Game-Implikationen groß wäre. Lucy, ich habe ein Hot-Take über Kenny Dillingham.
He's one of my losers from the weekend. I know that people are really into him and they think that he's been energetic and fun. He's done a great job with ASU this year. That's not what this is about. This is about when he tried to run down the clock at the end of the game this past weekend, failed, and then the fans all rushed the field. They added a second back and he freaked out at the refs.
And there is a video of this, which we will play. I don't like any of this. I do not like... The whole thing gave me... I don't know. Can I say it gave me the ick or is that... Are we done saying that? No, you can say the ick. Okay, it gave me the ick. I didn't like how he was upset. It was just weird. It was bad. Bad look.

Chapter 2: What were the reactions to the news of Mack Brown's firing?
I hate disagreeing with you, but I like Dillingham. So does Taylor. I think he's got this great energy. This is an aside, the funniest thing I saw from this weekend was a TikTok of an Arizona State student where in that 15-minute stretch where they pushed everyone off to the sidelines, went into the blue tent. Es war nur in der blauen Kette. Und er war so, niemand weiß, dass ich hier bin.
Was werden sie tun? Oh Gott, was für ein Desaster. Ich fand es so, so lustig. Ich kriege die Angst in dieser Situation. Er hat einen unnötigen Zeitraum genannt. Er hat nur ein paar seltsame Sachen mit dem Klopfenmanagement am Ende gemacht. Es hat ihn nicht gekostet. Aber zu haben... 50.000 Leute auf dem Feld und sagen, du musst weg. Es ist einfach eine verrückte Frage. Aber ich mag Dylan.
Ich denke, er ist gut. Ich denke, er hat den richtigen Vibe, den Arizona State braucht. Er passt der Tempe-Energie. Er passt.
Und das ist nicht ein Anti-ASU-Tag. Ich mag ihr Team. Ich bin froh für sie. Ich werde weiterhin für ihren Erfolg reiten. Das ist ich, die am Ende des Spiels reagiert haben, als sie nur ein paar Sekunden auf dem Klopfen brauchten. Es blieb fast in seinem Gesicht. BYU war wie,
Ein paar Jahre entfernt, drei Jahre entfernt, eine erfolgreiche Heil Mary, das wäre wahnsinnig gewesen. Das wäre so lustig gewesen. Ich kann nicht vorstellen, dass ich dafür nicht gebeten habe. Einfach der lustigste Fall da. Also, ein weiterer großer Verlierer vom Wochenende war Colorado. Sie haben ihren Scheiß an sie gegeben.
Sie haben wirklich nur... Es war sehr ähnlicher zu dem Colorado-Team, das wir letzte Saison gesehen haben. Wir waren so... Great. You have Shadur, you have Travis Hunter, you have a lot of just insanely like really valuable pieces of, you know, just great talent surrounded by a bunch of mush. You know, the offensive line was bad. Like they got controlled in the trenches.
Like it was a beat down of all beat downs. Colorado did come back at a certain point. Like Kansas was up really early. It's just... It was a bad, bad game for Colorado. And this is completely sort of opened up with what happened with Arizona State and what happened with Kansas Colorado this weekend. Has completely sort of opened up the Big 12, where I saw a stat from CBS Sports this morning.
And I don't know how it works. Don't ask me how it works. I don't have any intention of learning how it works. There are nine teams right now in the Big 12 that still are mathematically alive to make the conference championship game. I don't think any of them control their own destiny. I don't think a single one does. Maybe, I don't know. Like I said, I don't know. Doesn't make any sense to me.
But the Big 12 is a nightmare. And it was just, it was a really bad weekend for Colorado. They got rushed.
