00:00Tyler, we get a lot of questions from people like what's happening with Bolitnikov.
00:05I actually don't think there's a market open for this right now, but at some point this
00:08reopens like what are we doing here with the Bolitnikov award?
00:11You made a couple of bets preseason.
00:13Are we sitting pretty like what's happening here?
00:15Yeah, bad news.
00:16All the people commenting there is no market right now.
00:19Probably open back up in a few weeks, but the good news is we're sitting really pretty
00:23with Trey Harris.
00:24We gave him out 28 to one.
00:25So like my guess on the market, the top two favorites are Arizona's Teteroa McMillan and
00:29Trey Harris in some order.
00:31I don't really know.
00:32I don't know who's gonna be the favorite, but I think those are the two guys.
00:34And then Travis Hunter and Luther Burton are behind them.
00:36Luther Burton was one of the favorites.
00:38Statistically, he's really far behind, but like he's really good and I could see him
00:41catching up.
00:42McMillan and Harris are top five in receiving yards.
00:45Harris actually has more receptions than McMillan.
00:47So right now I think we have one of the favorites.
00:49Again, the profile I'm looking for top 10 yards per game, Ole Miss is first.
00:53Yards per top 10 points per game, Ole Miss is second and 10 or more wins.
00:56Eight of the last nine winners fit all three.
00:59Only person that didn't was Marvin Harrison because that offense sucked.
01:02And he was, but he won because he was a Heisman finalist and was clearly the best wide receiver.
01:06The one thing real quick that I think that could swing this into our direction is that
01:09in the voting criteria, team success and strength of schedule matters.
01:13That's why I don't think you see group of five guys ever winning this award.
01:15Ole Miss is, Ole Miss plays in the SEC obviously and they have a ton of huge games and Arizona
01:20really doesn't have that.
01:22Ole Miss is going to win a ton.
01:23They play Georgia still and they have a, he has a ton of stats.
01:26They play Georgia Southern, their 35 and a half point favorites.
01:28He's probably going to have a hundred yards again.
01:30And Ole Miss is like, their Twitter account is already campaigning for this.
01:32Like week two of the season, they already tweeted out Trey Harris for Boletnikoff.
01:37So like we know how Lane Kiffin, not Jackson, not Jackson Dart to win the Heisman.
01:41I can't wait for the investigation into like Ole Miss for betting for like Boletnikoff
01:45award here.
01:46It's going to be great.
01:47And it's like, they didn't tweet out Jackson Dart to win the Heisman or Weeks to Win the
01:50National Championship.
01:52It was Trey Harris to win the Boletnikoff.
01:54So I think like the strength of schedule is going to matter a ton here and he's putting
01:58up a ton of really good stats and like he's going to continue it because their schedule
02:02is soft.
02:03Like if he goes off against Georgia in a few weeks, like, whoa, man, we could have something
02:06cooking here.
02:07So to me, it's between Titzerow and McMillan and Trey Harris right now.
02:10The market will open in a few weeks.
02:11The reason I want to take Trey Harris because I thought it would improve and at the end
02:15of the year, we can maybe take McMillan or Burton as a favorite and we have the two finalists.
02:19So I think right now we're sitting really good with Trey Harris.
02:21Got to keep hoping he's building these performances and McMillan already has one dud against a
02:25really bad team.
02:26Trey Harris, he just keeps going and putting up stats.
02:28So we're sitting really pretty with this.
02:30No market open probably in a few weeks, but I like what we're sitting with our guy Trey
02:34Harris.
02:35Who do you think Shohei Otani and Ipe Mizuhara have in this market?
02:39Like they bet the Ole Miss receiver or?
02:41Nah, they probably, yeah, they probably bet our guy Trey Harris.
02:43They probably paid off Ole Miss to tweet out Trey Harris or Boletnikoff.
02:46I mean, I guess that is, that is, that is actually, that is really funny and a great
02:49thorough breakdown of the Boletnikoff award from Tyler Morales.
