The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Big Suey: Some Guy Named Warde

Wed, 04 Dec 2024

Description

Is there a better name for the head of the College Football Playoff committee than Warde? Joe Burrow bought a Batmobile and has thought about pulling up to a game dressed as Batman, but Greg Cote is not very happy about it. Can Joe Burrow make losing cool? Mike Ryan is wearing slacks, and Greg Cote doesn't want to even get started on the Ford Pinto. What was Greg Cote's fourth car? Plus, Smetty and Mike Ryan want Greg to read their new book 50 Shades Of Greg, but, after reading a passage, Greg is refusing to in order to uphold his journalistic integrity. Also, we continue our discussion about the College Football Playoff and revisit Mike Ryan's takes from yesterday including that Syracuse is just as good as Alabama and South Carolina should be in the Playoff.

Chapter 1: What is the significance of Warde Manuel's name?

2005.559 - 2016.228 Mike

Dan, truth be told, I did flip on my Miami CFP argument in 24 hours, and I was absolutely pressured by the powers that be at Miami.

2017.589 - 2019.191 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Wait, but who's bought and paid for it?

0

2019.611 - 2026.374 Mike

I claimed he was bought and paid for. Yeah, but I'm the one doing the buying and paying, and I just do what they tell me.

2026.554 - 2028.895 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

You're paying and not paid for.

2028.915 - 2047.064 Mike

The power dynamic on this is really inverted. But college athletics, we love it. But you didn't really fight for your program. I just got texted by Todd Fritz over at the Dan Patrick show, and there's like, hey, short notice, but... Is there any chance that you can join us live in an hour to talk about the CFP? Nice.

2047.124 - 2069.397 Mike

Dan, yesterday I realized after having my arm twisted by my head coach that this is a politicking game. If DeBoer's going on McAfee, we're a front-facing Miami show. We'll be damned if we let this happen. Now, we mobilized and we did what we could and we were so close. But would you like to join Dan Patrick and really, truly argue with conviction that Miami should be in this?

2069.617 - 2071.578 Mike

Because I don't actually believe you think Miami should be in it.

2071.698 - 2091.221 Chris Cote

Well, no, I could absolutely and easily argue – I could absolutely muster righteous indignation on behalf of – if you're going to make it a made-for-television event, hey, how about giving me the best quarterback and the best offense and let me take my chances in a shootout game? You're going to promise me a shootout game.

2092.562 - 2100.543 Chris Cote

I can absolutely do that with conviction, but I think I'd prefer for you, Jeremy, and Jessica to –

Chapter 5: What does Greg Cote think about college football arguments?
