00:00Penn State and SMU in Happy Valley at Beaver Stadium.
00:03Now, we know James Franklin, these are the type of games that he usually wins, but he
00:09wants to make sure that if he loses it, he's already got his excuses lined up.
00:14You've heard all this stuff about the tickets, how they're giving away the tickets at Penn
00:19State, like they're the cheapest they've ever been online, and there's no students there
00:24because school's over.
00:26All the excuses have been rolled out by James Franklin.
00:29Yeah, I think obviously it's in Beaver Stadium, but one of the things I think is really important
00:36is the students.
00:39Our students make a huge difference for us, and obviously being after finals and things
00:45like that makes it a little bit challenging, so that's a little bit of a concern.
00:52And then obviously, it's a home game for us, but to your point, the college football playoff
00:56pretty much runs everything else.
00:58So it will not feel like it normally feels to us, playing a home game in Beaver Stadium.
01:05How does he know?
01:06But overall, in general, obviously we're glad and fortunate to be home, so we'll take it.
01:13This is the structure that exists.
01:14We'll take it.
01:15You're the guy.
01:16We'll take it.
01:17What a wussy.
01:18Is he serious?
01:21What does he think?
01:22I cannot believe we just listened to that from that guy, that before they even play
01:26the game, he's already got it in his mind that it's not going to have the same atmosphere
01:32as a regular Penn State game.
01:33Is there a chance it's not going to beālet me listen.
01:36All the kids are gone.
01:37I get it.
01:38There's not going to be Penn State fans all over to play?
01:42Everybody coming up from Dallas for SMU, they've got alumni all over the Northeast that are
01:49going to be traveling into Happy Valley?
01:52Get serious.
01:53Get serious.
01:54Get serious.
01:55Man, come on.
01:56Everyone and their brother that lives anywhere near Penn State is going to the game.
02:01The students are home for Christmas, so what?
02:04Cry me a river.
02:06This guy is unbelievable.
02:07Now look, I think he's got a really good football team.
02:10They gave Oregon Fitz, but we all know what happens to him against top five and highly
02:16ranked teams.
02:17He doesn't win.
02:18I don't think that they're losing to SMU.
02:21I really don't.
02:22I'll be surprised.
02:23I want to see what Prawns has to say.
02:25Let me guess.
02:26He's taking SMU.
02:27Me and him haven't gotten into that game much, so you're going to haveāI'm going to do
02:33that with him tonight.
02:34You'll get him first here in 20 minutes.
02:36He'll tell you what he thinks of the game.
02:38It's 8-1ā2 right now, and 53-1ā2 is the total.
02:43I don't consider SMUāand they've had an unbelievable year.
02:48I don't consider SMU a big-time team.
02:52I just don't.
02:53And usually James Franklin and Penn State take care of teams like this on their home
02:59field.
03:00I think they win the game by 10-plus points.
03:02I think Penn State wins.
03:03Yeah, I'm with you.
03:04I'm not going to argue with that.
