You know that big bargain detergent jug is 80% water, right? It doesn't clean as well. 80% water? I thought I was getting a better deal because it's so big. If you want a better clean, tide pods are only 12% water.
The rest is pure concentrated cleaning ingredients. Oh, let me. make an announcement. Attention shoppers, if you want a real Real deal, try Tide Pods. Stop paying for watered-down detergents.
Pay for clean. If it's gotta be clean, it's gotta be Tide Pods. Water content based on the leading bargain liquid detergent. Football is fun. Why shouldn't your football podcast be the same?

It's the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. Yeah, we're getting ready for another weekend, another solid Saturday, even a Friday night. Of college football action.
Okay, we just talked about Bill Belichick and all the rumors and news that came out today. We got a couple of games that are already underway. We got North Carolina and Cal Berkeley getting it on in a few hours from now. We got a full slate of great games tomorrow. Joining us right now to talk all things college ball is Jerry Palm from PalmBrackets.com.
Jerry, how are you? All right, how are you? Excellent. You know, before we get into Belichick, we got a game going on right now between Louisville and Miami. We see Carson Beck has already thrown two touchdowns.
We see Louisville has a fourteen to seven or now I see Miami just scored a fourteen to ten lead. I'm not all. I know Carson Beck before tonight. This looked very good. I remember him playing right here in Georgia with the Bulldogs.
Uh I'm not a big fan. Are are you sold on Carson Beck in in Miami this year?
Well, they certainly have looked good. uh up until you know we'll give him a game at least in the first half tonight, but Uh Miami Penn. been pretty dominant. It it's hard to argue with that kind of thing But We'll have to see what happens when they get to the postseason. And of course, Bec's postseason was cut short last year with an injury.
And it ended up you know, the Georgia could not maybe go as far as they could have because he got hurt. And so we didn't really get to see him in some high leverage situations last year because of that. Uh but I I think Carson Beck is a pretty good college quarterback. I don't know if if he's a I draft big type of pro or anything like that. But somebody will probably take a flyer on him in the NFL.
Yeah, without a shadow of a doubt. We know that the next game, ESPN, we got Nebraska, Minnesota, they just got underway. But the next ESPN game following Louisville and Miami, we got North Carolina and Cal. And it seems that every single week there's something new that comes out about Bill Belichick.
Now we got private conversations that are being leaked and It just gets worse every single day. Do you think he's going to be around next year? I would say probably not. I have a feeling the college football experience is not what he thought it would be. Um And it certainly hasn't been good on the field.
I mean date buttons. you know, pretty miserable on the field. And that's really ultimately what decides things like this. Um But yeah, they just they haven't been good. They beat Richmond, they beat Charlotte.
you know, Clemson, who had not been really doing well at all, beat him thirty eight to ten. Um at their place. You know, this just hasn't been a competitive football team really in the way that you would expect Bill Spellichek to have a competitive team.
So You know, it They could end up you know, two and nine. Uh or two and ten. Oh, three and nine, something like that. This is uh a team that's going to struggle to win games this year. And Is that Um you know I that's probably not how Belichick wants to leave you know, his last season coaching.
Uh but it might be that this is his last season, coach. Yeah, Jerry Palm is here with us from PalmBrackets.com. Speaking of coaches, I mean, if we go ahead and take a look at Brian Kelly over at LSU, I know they're 5-1. They have huge expectations. He left Notre Dame.
a few years ago to help turn things around. Five and one LSU, five and one Vandy, Garrett Nussmeyer. I don't know if he's lived up to the billing. I know we just talked about Carson Beck. I'm looking forward to this game starting things off for tomorrow.
What should we expect? Um probably not very much scoring. because that's the way LSU plays. They're an outstanding defensive team. They can't really score very much.
It's really a contrast of styles. Uh because Bandy is a good defensive team, but they're they're pretty solid offensively. But LSU usually dictates And if I look, you can dictate. style of play, then they have they have a chance to win this game. But if Pavier.
Diego Favier, the Vanderbilt quarterback, can go off a little bit and play his kind of game, which is both running and passing. And LSU can't really slow them down very much, and they're going to have they're going to be in for a long day. Oh, we know we got some big SEC matchups all throughout the day. Tomorrow, we got Georgia and O Miss. We got Tennessee and Alabama.
Which one are you really looking forward to seeing the most? I guess Tennessee and Alabama because that's such a heated rivalry and Alabama looks like the best team in the league, but this is a really good test for them. And I say looks like the best team in the league because There's enough high quality teams in this league that you can look like in it one, you know, and then two weeks later. you're wondering if you're going to make a playoff.
So Uh for Alabama This is a big game for them. They've been playing very well since that loss to open the season against Florida State. The win at Georgia, of course, a signature win for them. Another tough win on the road against our ranked opponent, Missouri, last week.
So They'll have to be ready to go. They've been playing very well on their home field in particular, and this game's at home.
So I like Alabama. Jerry Palm is here with us from palmbrackets.com. com You know, it's an interesting part of the year because we can start to look at coaches. Obviously, we had James Franklin. Who got the boot, and now there's these conversations about Matt Ruhl, and then you think about Napier.
It's hot seat time, and then we get Kurt Signetti. With the, you know, it's like, hey, you're not going anywhere. They give him a big old contract. Are you surprised at the timing of it, or was it all kind of tied into Penn State?
Well, Penn State maybe in particular, but it could have been any job of that caliber that opens up for whatever reason.
So Uh like Florida, for example. Are you looking for a podcast about pro football that doesn't put you to sleep with an avalanche of analytics or insult your fandom with brainless hot takes?
Well, hi. I'm Dan Hanses. And I'm Mark Sessler. Oh, hi, Mark. And we're the host of Heed the Call, the NFL podcast you've been waiting your whole life for.

Could've you know if that job opens up You know, that's a that's a good job in the SEC.
Now the program's not in great shape at the moment, but he can go in there as we've seen. If you can turn Indiana football around, you can turn anything around. 'Cause you know, I'm from Indiana. I went to Purdue, but You know, Indiana football has been a laughing stock for Yeah. You know, they've had a few moments of glory, but Really, it's it's just been you know, one win seasons, two win seasons, just miserable.
And You know, now you've got a coach who comes in and turns it around on a dime. And they're have they have to be considered now after that win at Oregon. one of the three or four favorites to win the national championship. And you know, Indiana's a basketball school. They care a lot about their basketball.
Their last national championship. With 1987, And if you go back in time and you tell some Indiana fan that maybe you'll win another national championship someday, but the football team has to win one first. Yeah. No. They're gonna look at you like you got three eyes in your head or something.
It's yeah. But that may be what happened. You know, in the end. got a chance to win the whole thing this year.
So Yes, Indiana, um was going to move quickly to lock him up, especially with the Penn State job already open. Um but they were probably going to do this anyway. just because of what he's already done. Uh they want to lock him up. whether it's a Penn State job or some other job that comes along next year or whatever, They want to have him locked up.
Yeah, we know he he they're going in one direction, Indiana is, and Penn State is going in the complete opposite. We know Matt Ruhl is currently busy this minute taking on Minnesota and the Gophers. Do you think there's any chance? It may not happen this year, but at some point in time. Do you think he's going to end up back at Penn State, or is that job going to go to somebody and they'll never let it go?
Well I mean, I guess he could be a candidate for the job now, although you wouldn't think he's been successful enough for what they're looking for. Um but Maybe uh maybe he could end up back there. I guess it depends on how well If he doesn't get the job now. I mean, they're going to hire the kind of a coach where it may not come up. This is a job, it doesn't open up every three years.
Yeah. If they make a bad hire now and the program suffers for it. Then you know, maybe it does open up again soon, but maybe the job's not as good.
So he probably isn't going to get a lot of chances had a job like this, but he might not be the right candidate at the right time. Jerry Palm is here with us from PalmBrackets.com. I want to switch over. We've talked about quite a few quarterbacks, but even if you look at Indiana with Mendoza, we saw what they just did against the Oregon Ducks and more. We've had some names that have kind of popped up as Heisman candidates that weren't names like Manning that we all expected before the season started.
What are your thoughts on some of these emerging quarterbacks?
Well, we're seeing some great players. We mentioned one already.
Now his team may not be good enough to get him Heisman consideration, but Diego Favia has done a lot to put Vanderbilt football on the map. You've got, excuse me, Ty Simpson. Yeah. His first year in the position has really emerged and grown as the season has gone on. had a rough first game against Florida State, but has really carried Alabama and won some high leverage games.
So Uh Yeah, these uh we've got some young quarterbacks out there. Um The Notre Dame quarterback is it's uh Carr. Um And a mater in Oklahoma, even though he missed a couple of games with an injury, is a guider could. could be the guy that could play himself into Heisman consideration. He didn't miss enough time to really be be eliminated as a candidate.
And so And he was really hot to start the year.
So now we'll have to see if that injury is hampering him. If he's playing hurt, it hampers him. Mater, even though Oklahoma may not be a national title contender. is the kind of quarterback that um that can make some noise and possibly be part of that hyphen conversation. Hey, Jerry, one thing that really stands out to me, and I won't forget it, and one of our callers hit us up about a month ago when Arch was going through his downs, and he said that he only has this job because of his last name.
And I just had to kind of roll my eyes and go, oh my God. What are your thoughts on Arch, his development, the expectations, how he's handled things? What say you?
Well They heave. He certainly has had some problems And I don't know if it's the expectations. Or if it's just you know, they've played some pretty good teams. They they start the year at Ohio State, and Ohio State makes them look bad, while Ohio State's going to make a lot of teams look bad. It wasn't just Ohio State.
There were some teams that were not that good. uh where you had rough stretches or you had But the UTEP game, I think he had like ten straight in completions at one point. It's a game that they won. Um I think he's starting to show signs of getting better and getting more comfortable in the position. Freshman quarterback.
at a big name school like Texas is a tough job. And some guys handle it better than others. When your last name is Manning, You're under the microscope all the time.
Some guys handle that better than others. Um But I you know, he's still a pretty talented kid. And w Let's let's give him a full season before we write him off completely. But I think we're starting to see signs of him coming around a little bit. He played well in the Florida game.
Um for the most part.
So you're starting to see some improvement. But there's some bigger games ahead. They beat Oklahoma, so that was huge for them. And for him. Uh and you know It's uh it's still another half of a season to go.
Yeah, we got plenty more football in front of us. Hey, Jerry, thank you so much for the time. Tell everybody where they can follow you and all your work. Yeah, it's palmbrackets.com. Football season, of course, in full swing.
And then college basketball starting at the beginning of the month. I'll have a a preseason bracket and be following that all the way through the final four As well.
So, two sports going at the same time here in a very short while. Yeah, man, it's a good time of the year. Hey, Jerry, always appreciate the time. We'll talk to you soon, okay? All right, thank you.
