Our number three Ready Set Bet here on VSiN, the SportsBetting Network. Matt Brown, two down, one to go. We are sitting here looking at this scoreboard for in college football. Let the overreactions begin. Alabama's first half, five possessions, five touchdowns. Those five touchdowns, four different players, 307 total yards for Alabama, 38 to seven at the half over East Carolina. That being said, boy, you should have seen people talking about Ryan Williams dropping a pass. Oh man, you would think this guy was absolutely terrible at the footballs. He has four for 104, but all they want to talk about is the drop. 38 to seven Alabama over East Carolina at the half, Indiana up 24 to six over North Texas. I will say what this has reminded me as we get College Football back in our live in earnest here, no week zero stuff, week one, is how long College Football half times are. It feels like we have been at half time for half an hour, and probably have. I mean, it's just like so incredibly long, these half times. I think I've given you the half time score of these games like five times already. 19 to seven Houston over Oregon State, 28 to three Ohio State over Ball State with about 10 seconds left. So that one's about to head to half. They'll come out a half at one o'clock Pacific.

I did get a response here that the under shirt take, and now listen, I will admit, I haven't lived in the South in a while now. Been in Vegas out here like 15 years. Said the under shirt take stopped being relevant about five years ago. This is coming from JM McDonald over on the Twitter machine. He said, now you just wear a Johnny O. Featherweight shirt, and it's not that big of a deal if it gets a little sweat. New aged golf shirts have solved the problem.

I would say that's a pro tip for kids maybe not in college though. I was kind of talking about when I was in college, I don't think, I could be mistaken, I don't think college kids can afford a Johnny O shirt. It seems like a hundred bucks. And if you don't think, by the way, if you don't think our phones and computers and stuff are listening to us, I literally am looking at a Johnny O ad right now on this. So Johnny O ad just popped up on this. But I don't think college kids are wearing Johnny O. I could be wrong.

I was not whenever I was in college or wherever the equivalent would have been back then for that. Too expensive, man.

Much rather would have spent that on like, you know, cheap disgusting booze than a Johnny O shirt. Priorities, right? That's exactly where I was with all that.

But yeah, it was, I get it. Certainly the moisture wicking stuff and all that has come a long way. The OG Under Armour shirts were kind of like the first like moisture wicking stuff. That wouldn't even pass for like Costco brand now. Like the first Under Armour, we thought it was so revolutionary. Again, at the time it was, it was crazy how we have gone in athletic and performance gear and things like that. Those things now would be looked at as a joke. But man, they were they were hot at the time. Absolutely loved if you had an OG Under Armour shirt, but doesn't work anymore. Keelan Russell at the half for Alabama, 11 of 17 for 182 yards.

He also has 54 yards rushing and a touchdown on the ground. Daniel Hill, nine for 47, two touchdowns there for Alabama. EJ Kroll, he has four carries. He also has a touchdown for Alabama. Like we said, 38 to seven, that includes a pick six as well. 10 points in the first quarter, 28 points in the second quarter for Alabama.

We talked a little bit earlier with Jimmy Ott down there in Baton Rouge. He is kind of of the same mindset as me, which is I think if Lane Kiffin can score 50 tonight, he will. I just think with all of the stuff that's gone on in the off season, kind of going out there and just shutting everybody up and making them focus on the team as a football team. I laid the nine and a half with LSU. I'm going to look right now.

Oh, boy, the LSU money has come in even since we've been on air. It's out to ten and a half now at FanDuel. So ten everywhere else, ten and a half out at FanDuel in favor of LSU. Forty nine and a half is the total.
