Manny’s proposed route, which takes a much wider turn and has them pivoting south on the Northwestern field instead.

Manny: Plus, if they watch the scoreboard and they see that we fuckin’ went right past Mississippi State just so we could get to Northwestern, what does that let us do?

Nick: It makes ‘em think we’re Northwestern.

Manny: Yeah. It lets us fake like we’re Northwestern. So then they send a bunch of their people up north looking for us.

Ten: Ehhhhh I don’t know about this one. They’re panicking.

Nick: I mean, MAYBE. Big maybe.

No man, no. Let’s stay simple. Let’s just head south, right now.

Manny: Nick.

You know I don’t like digging up old shit. And you know I’m not trying to, you know, throw it in your face or whatever.

Juice: oh here we go

Nick: Oh, here you go.

Juice: lol

Nine: Don’t tell me they’re gonna start fighting NOW.

Manny: Nooooo. No. Listen to me. You listen. You got your way with the train. And you didn’t involve me in that decision. And now it’s my turn to make a call.

Nine: This is the greatest fumble recovery in centuries and they’re really gonna stop and fight.
