Circa Friday Football Invitational | September 4, 2026 | Hour 1

**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
Hey, folks, it's Tim Murray, and here we are. College football season, long Saturdays ahead, and staying locked in for an entire day of football takes a little bit more than coffee. Loreen's new pouch is built exactly for that, without the nicotine. It works just like the pouches you've seen before. Tuck one in and go about your day. Each has 50 milligrams of caffeine, about half a cup of coffee, plus L-theanine and Alpha GPC for smooth, steady focus with no crash. And because it's Loreen, it's also got nano-hydroxyapatite, the mineral your teeth are made of, so it gives your daily enamel support in between brushings. It's smooth energy without the jitters, and it comes in mint, cinnamon, and mango, all nicotine-free. I love the cinnamon. Give Loreen a try.
Right now, Loreen is offering our listeners up to 50% off at buyloreen.com/college.

It's a football Friday night in Las Vegas. Matt Youmans here with my co-host, Will Hill. We have a star-studded show for you tonight, including The Godfather. Brent Musburger is going to join us in about one hour, and this will be the Friday Football Invitational show going forward. It's brought to you by Omaha Steaks. Get two free pounds of American ground beef on any order of $129 or more at omahastakes.com/vsin.
We're going to have Omaha Steaks in studio, I believe, most Friday nights, and we're going to do it upright again this year. Will Hill, welcome in to our last Friday night together. Are you getting emotional?

**Will Hill** (2:07)
I am a little bit. You know what?
I am. These are fun doing these shows, but you know what? I'll be listening and things have a habit of working themselves out where we end up doing these shows together. You know, a little post football once college basketball starts. Hopefully, that's the case once again, but always fun doing these shows. Got a fun three hours college football. And I know it's all football all the time once football starts, but some good pennant races, Braves Phillies, our Yankees only three games out. So a lot to discuss should be a good show, Matt.

**Matt Youmans** (2:31)
Yeah, so it's a football Friday night. We'll talk plenty of baseball betting throughout the show as well. But on the show tonight, we have a couple of contestants who are in the Circuit Friday Football Invitational. Big Randy McKay out of North Dakota and the Bear, Chris Felica, who won the inaugural contest in 2022 Both those guys are going to be on the final hour tonight. The Godfather up in one hour. And Nick Bogdanovich, a Boomer sportsbook, is also in our number two tonight.
Will, we've got some college football underway right now. San Jose State, Eastern Michigan, scoreless in the first quarter.
And also, another game about to get underway is Indiana State, Purdue, Toledo, Michigan State. And we've got some more important games we'll get to later in the night here on the West Coast. Will, last night, did you watch Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes pull out an ugly 14-13 upset over Georgia Tech? That game was tough to watch, but if you had Colorado, cash your ticket.

**Will Hill** (3:31)
No, I didn't watch it, Matt. I went to the library. Of course I watched it. It's the first night of college football. I watched college football from the time it started. UMass absolutely just beating the breaks off of Rutgers. How about that? 30-point dog thereabouts. And then a fun back-and-forth game. I did not think that kid from Colorado was gonna take his team down the field. They could not do anything all night and they were the right side. They dominated, I thought. The lines of scrimmage ran the ball well, stifled the Georgia Tech defense, offense and defense really on both lines.
And look, Brent Key is a coach I like, good as a dog. He did a terrible job not bleeding the clock. You got the ball, you got to lead. You can't be snapping the ball with 12 or 13 seconds. And then Colorado blocks the kick. It's interesting, Matt, I don't know if you looked at these lines.
As the Georgia Tech kickers lining up to kick what would have been a game winner, Colorado was plus 170, plus 180 I was like, man, this is not Justin Tucker in his prime out there. This is a college kicker. It's a pretty long kick. And who knows if he would have made it because he got blocked. But a fun night of college football for sure.
