• 1:23

• 1:25
  Speaker 4: of these stories that were out there. Brett mc murphy
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: has released his Top twenty five courtesy the AP. The
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: official AP will be out Sunday. Your Monday Sound of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: your Monday. I do want to get into Bill Conley
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: ESPN dot com his sp plus. He is a final
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: projection before the season. Breaking down the Final sp plus,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: he said, it starts with Buckeyes and Ducks. We'll get
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: into this underrated, who's overrated? Brand new day for teams
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: like Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech, and even UCLA brand new
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: day for North Texas and Yukon, but a different kind
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of day. A Notre Dame red hot projection for national
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: championships for Notre Dame.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Some of the news that's out there, though.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Daboshweni Clemson Dabos when he asked about his team in
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: fall camp, he said, everybody's just working.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: He says, we just a bunch of nobody's.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: We'll see if anybody becomes somebody as we play some games.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: So you know, Dabos when he's trying to and again
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: talking to Rafield sparsa last hour Clemson has a national
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: championship odds value of seventy five to one going into
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: the season. I don't have this on authority yet. I
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: don't remember them being that low down the pecan order
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: in ten fifteen years. I mean, you have to go
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: back to Dabo's first or second year when he took over,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: you know, that program for Tommy Bowden. They have really
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: fallen off, and Dabo's doing everything he can to try
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: to motivate this team in the media. And again I
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: think as spars have hit it and other people have
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: hit it every they have not conformed to modern day
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: college football, meaning he doesn't take players in the transfer portal.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: If he does, it's one or two.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: I get that he wants to have a developmental program
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: and do things you know the quote unquote old school way,
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: which is five years ago. But Clemson uh in Dabosweeney
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: not not a great relationship. But if they go down
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: to Baton Rouge week one.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: And they get beat.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Handily, it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough year
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: for Clemson. And you know, if I go in here,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: you can go to Maristar Casino dot Com, forward slash
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Vicksburg and go ahead.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And get in on some football odds.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: Here.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Let me see here, it's hard to believe TCU in
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: North Carolina play. That's the I believe Dublin Ireland game
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that TCU is a only a seven and a half
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: point favorite. But I'm gonna tell you this right now.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: You hammer TCU against North Carolina, they are going to
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: there is no way I will be blown away on
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: August twenty ninth, eleven o'clock kick in the morning if
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: North Carolina hangs around.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is a program.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: I'm getting to Clemson LSU here in just a bit
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: so squirrel brain here, I just saw this from this
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: line on North Carolina TCU. North Carolina with Bill Belichick.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Their general manager is you know, on leave for an
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: HR issue. Their defensive coordinators not there.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: He is on leave.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: The program is under investigation.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: You have.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: There is not an easier win than TCU minus seven
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: and a half. Maybe all year, maybe all year, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: when you look at some of these, you know Week
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: one ball games, Colorado is a seven point underdog the
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Georgia Tech And I don't know if you guys have
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: seen this, and I'd have to find it. Colorado has
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: locked their practices down, Like if you're a media person,
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: now you know. And there's been a lot of quote
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: unquote negative publicity coming out of Colorado camp. The most
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: negative that I've seen is there's people posting pictures saying
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: they look like a high school team, but they have
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: locked their practices down. If you're a media member, based
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: on the ports that are coming out of Colorado, the
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: state of Colorado, if you have a phone, you have
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: to put it in a bag and you can't take notes,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and it's just they have really locked this thing down.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Colorado is a seven point dog at Georgia Tech Week one.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Miami is a twenty three point favorite over Stanford on
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the road. Let's see here, Nebraska, Ohio. I'm just looking
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: for some of these games.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Here.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: I'm looking for that. There it is LSU Clemson. LSU
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: is a nine and a half point favorite at home
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: September fifth against Clemson, and I feel pretty good about
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: LSU at that nine and a half.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Pretty good.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: I mean, I probably won't play this game. That total
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: is sitting around fifteen and a half right now. But
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: if Clemson goes down there and they get beat and
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: LSU covers, for instance, if so I say LSU wins
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: fourteen to twenty points, it's gonna be a bad year
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: for Clemson and it's gonna be a bad time for
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Davos Twining. Let me see here, I'm looking to see.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Is there anything else early two lane Duke. There's some
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: intrigue there, believe it or not. Minus nine and a half.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: That's the Darien Mensi Bowl, right because Dairy Minsill was
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: at two lane a few years ago than transferred to Duke.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Of course, now he is at Miami. Missippi State is
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: a twenty eight point favorite right now against Louisiana Monroe.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: That's a big spread. I mean, I would say hammer
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: the twenty eight. If Missippi State wins that ball game
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: about fourteen points, there's gonna be a lot of groaning,
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of growing. Missippi State needs to win that
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: game convincingly against Louisiana Monroe. Also Ole Miss and Louisville.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss is a six and a half point favorite
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: over Louisville. That's September sixth, Sunday sixth, September sixth at
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: six thirty pm. And September seventh, watch SMU at Florida State.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: That's a big ball game in the ACC. It's a
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: big ball game for both programs because when you look
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: at Florida State and Mike Norvelle and what they're trying
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: to do, which is bounce back. Mike Norvell make no
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: mistake about it, He's trying to save his job SMU.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: They have not only.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: ACC aspirations, they have college football playoff aspirations. They were
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: a team that made the initial twelve team College Football Playoff.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: They're trying to get back there to watch that game.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: And then September twelfth, Texas A and M brings in
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Arizona State. Texas A and M is a sixteen point
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: sixteen and a half point favorite and down in College station.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: In week two, also Oklahoma at Michigan. Michigan is a
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: two and a half point favored over the Oklahoma Sooners.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you another one September twelfth, to keep
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: your eye on just looking at some of these lines
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: is of course, you got Texas and Ohio State. Texas
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: is a one and a half point favorite. Oregon travels
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: to Oklahoma State in week two, they get Boise State.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Week one, they have to travel to Oklahoma State. That's
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: a revamped Oklahoma State team. Oregon better watch themselves. I mean,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: they're gonna win the ball game. They're a seventeen and
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: a half point favorite on the road in still Water
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: against Oklahoma State.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But I don't know that.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: I don't even play that game. There's not a total
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: on that game yet. And that makes sense because you
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: don't really know how Oklahoma State's gonna play offensively. You
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: think you kind of know because the coaching staffs there.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: They they're high team, you know, left lane hit the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: gas type of team. But watch that game. Just watch
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: that game, all right, let's see here we're talking. Also,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I want to get into the best college football jersey
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: patch sponsorships. You know, Arkansas has Tyson Foods on the jersey,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Wisconsin has Culver's on the jersey.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who that is.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: For Washington States, a US Double A is on Army
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Air Force on their jersey, and Memphis with FedEx Woodside
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Energy on LSU JP, Morgan Chase on Ohio State.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: And then you know, if I.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Had to say who's the best right now, I like
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: the Tyson Foods on Arkansas. It looks clean, it makes sense,
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: it makes sense of most of these. To give me
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: the Arkansas Razorbacks also.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: LSU slowly adding.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: They started the week with only four basketball players as
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: school starts down in v rouge four basketball players on
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: you know, early late summer early fall workouts for basketball
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: only four. They've added now sky Clark from UCLA. They've
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: picked up a couple this week as a wiel Wade
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: slowly slowly feeling filling that roster, and the Florida Gators
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: have put out courtesy Gators Football on x A quick
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: video Florida Gators for the.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: First time ever, they'll wear all blue.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Florida ounces were all blue for the first time this season,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: for the first time ever. I thought they had done this.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm just wrong. But blue tops, blue bottoms, blue hats,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: and maybe it was the blue tops, blue bottom, blue bottoms,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: orange helmets. Maybe that's what I'm thinking of. Uh, maybe
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: it was an orange Gator helmet with the blue top
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and the blue bottom. But they're going blue head to
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: toe this year and it looks good.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I mean it does. It's a it's a good look
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: for the Florida Gators.
• 9:53

• 11:30
  Speaker 4: here to Bill Conley's final sp plus. Let me get
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: off this Florida Gator uniform. We were sitting here talking
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: about that. I think I think what I'm in. Brod
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: did too. We've agreed, Florida's played in all blue before,
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: but it's it's been blue top, blue bottom, orange helmet,
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: Danny Warfol and all those guys a Ward, so it's
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: it's but it's going to be the blue top, blue bottom,
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: in the blue helmet, all right. Final preseason sp Plus
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: courtesy of Bill Conley. And I'm gonna be honest with
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: you when you start talking about who do you trust
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: as far as rankings, I'm taking Bill Conley over most people,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: just because he puts so much thought into it, and
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: it's a numbers base. Still, He's been doing sp plus
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: for a long time.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: He says that I'm looking at.
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: He says priors and predictives. However, even in the Transfer
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Portal era, preseason rankings like sp plus paint an interesting
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: and reasonably accurate picture, the formula doesn't get it right
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: on every team, he said. It wouldn't be any fun
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: if it were that way, he said, but I can
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: tell it can tell us quite a bit. Of last
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: year's projected top fifteen sp plus, he said, seven finished
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: within one regular season win of their August projections, and
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: of that eight that didn't close games, and therefore some
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: randomness played an enormous role.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: He says.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Six teams Georgia, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Omes, Oregon, and Texas
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: A and M overachieved their final win total projections from
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: last year by at least one point four regular season wins.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: They were projected to win fifty two point one combined games,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: but went sixty six and six instead, primarily because of
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: the combined twenty one to three records in the one
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: score events or one score games. Two teams, Clemson and
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Penn State significantly underachieved. And you know they both teams
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: did fall off last year. Penn State Drew Railer got hurt.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: That whole thing went south for James Franklin. Dabosweeney with
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: that whole thing went south for him. Their quarterback, Kate Klubnik,
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: was not nearly the quarterback they thought he would be,
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: says they were expected to win nineteen point three combined
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: games on average, but instead went thirteen and eleven the
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: regular season. Those two teams, he said. There'll always be
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: some Clemson style whiffs, he said, but you know, basically
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: the sp plus has has hit it within the number.
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: His final sp plus going into the season. He does
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: this a few weeks before the season starts. Ohio State
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: number one. He has them with the second best offense
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: and the first and the number one defense in the country.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Strength of schedule ranking third. He has Oregon number two,
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame three, Georgia four, in Indiana five. And you know,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: when you start looking at some of these units here
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: and we'll get into this in a minute, it's very,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: very interesting. A lot of these teams with projected offensive
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and defensive units, even special teams.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: You know, in special teams not so much.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously you got to have a great special
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: team o miss number one in the country and special teams,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: and that that matters. I mean, you're gonna be in
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: some really close ballgames at times, so you want to
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: have those really.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: Good special teams units.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Where Ohio State sixty seventh in the country, Oregon fiftieth
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: in the country, preseason Notre Dame forty seventh. Now Georgia
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: is fourth, and they fourth in the country, but they
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: are fifth offensively, fifth defensively in SP plus and then
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: third and the special teams.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: He has Ole Miss as the.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: Sixteenth best team in SP plus, right behind Michigan and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: right ahead of Penn State. Ole Miss eleventh offensively, twenty
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: six defensively first special team strengthen schedule eighth, but Texas
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: at six, Miami seven, Texas Tech eight, Texas A, and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: M nine, LSU ten. Follow about Oklahoma, USC, Alabama thirteen,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Tennessee fourteen, Michigan fifteen, Ole Miss sixteen, Penn State, Washington, Missouri,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: and Florida around at the top twenty BYU Iowa, Clemson,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: South Carolina, and smu are through twenty five. Just looking
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: at some notables here, he has Mississippi State. Let's find
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the Bulldogs at fifty second. He has them with the
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: thirty seventh best offense in the country, seventy fourth best defense,
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: and twenty first best special teams unit twelfth overall, hardest
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: schedule Missisippi State since between Arizona State at fifty one
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: and Wisconsin at fifty three. And you know, for Missippi State.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: If they can live somewhere around thirty seventh thirty to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: thirty seventh offensively, that's that's good enough.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: I mean that that gives you a lot, a lot
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: of offensive production.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: That's seventy four defensively, and that that's where they got
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: to improve if they if they can get that thing
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: into the fifties. As far as national rankings, they're going
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: to be a lot better. I mean, and look again,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: think about Missippi State in the context of you know,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: breaking down games and breaking down weeks for Misssippi State last.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Year, all the close losses.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: If you can play offensive football like you played it
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: last year, and I think you're gonna be better offensively.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: If you're Missisippi State fan, I think State's going to
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: be better offensively. A Camark Taylor is going to make
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: defensives play eleven on eleven, and that is that is
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: tough to do when you have I mean, Trinidad Chambliss
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: makes teams play oh Miss eleven or eleven, arch Manning
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: Texas eleven or eleven. Meaning you have to account for
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: the quarterback in the run game. If you don't account
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: for the quarterback in the run game, they're gonna burn you.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: You know, it's it's third and six, third and seven.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: That team drops back to pass. Now the quarterback breaks contain,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: which means he gets outside the pocket. The defenses down
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: the field covering the receivers, and he sees an easy,
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: easy stick, you know, to go grab, and he boomed,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: gets the first down Camaro. Taylor's gonna make you play
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: eleven eleven. That defense, though, under Zach Arnett, if it
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: can improve, State's gonna win not only five ball games
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: this year, They're gonna win probably two or three more.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: And they just are the law of averages.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I mean, you lose that many games by close, you know,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: close outputs last year and then sometimes that flips this year.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: That's just the way it is.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: And you know, had a friend of mine text me
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: yesterday about, you know, Ole Miss and some other teams
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: if you were pretty healthy this past year off you know,
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: as far as health on your team, odds are you're
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: gonna lose a couple guys this year. And you know
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: you're not cheering for that, but you're gonna have a
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: guy go down that's you know, on the offensive line
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: with an ankle. You're gonna have a guy go down
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: defensive line with a knee. You know, something's gonna happen
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: to a guy that's gonna be a hip. That's just
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: kind of the way the law of averages are. Let's
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: see here looking at some of these other teams. Uh,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: let's say I always go to the bottom. I always
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: want to see who the worst is. You Mass, You
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: could say that every year. I again, I don't know
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: what U Mass does or doesn't do in football, but
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: they are always at the bottom, along with Georgia State
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: and Louisiana Monroe and MTSU.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: You know, Sam Houston's down here. Let's see, Southern Miss.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: Won twenty eighth, one eighth out of one hundred and
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: thirty eight teams. Boo yeah, And again Southern Miss may
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: be better than one twenty eighth, you guys, you hope
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: so right. I mean, we'll see what what this new
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: staff does here. But uh, you know Bill Conley talks
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: about week zero. Uh he has TCU in Dublin by
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: five point eight points.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you got four ball.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Games and week zero that they're looking at NC State
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: at Virginia, Jacksonville State at North Dakota State, and then.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Memphis at UNLV.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: He has LSU by nine point eight points against Clemson.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: In Week one, Ole missed by five point four points
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: over Louisville and SMU by zero point four points.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: That's half a point over SMU.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: And also he's got what's interesting is Texas is a
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: one and a half point favorite in real Week one
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: over real house State. He has a house State by
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: seven and a half points seven. Bill Conley has him
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: bout seven and a half, which is interesting to me.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: And he's got Oklahoma or Michigan by almost a point
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: zero point seven and then Arizona at BYU.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That's Week two. That's a big one.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: In the Big twelve, he has BYU by seven point
• 19:44

• 22:06
  Speaker 6: Man, we're excited. Uh, you know, everybody's hyping it up,
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: but there's just noise right now at this point. You know,
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: you got so many guys that have elected to be
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: a part of this team and in this community, you know,
• 22:17
  Speaker 6: at Brandon and man, like I said, I'm sorry, Shaping, No.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: You're good.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: You're good. But it's so cool to see these guys
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: kind of buy all in. We're just talking to about
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: this off the air. It's like, man, these guys are
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: showing up then asked to show up? Who wants to
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: be in at five forty five in the morning. And
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: you've got parents that are trying their best to say, hey,
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: we're dedicated. So the fact that the kids are showing up,
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: the parents, like you're seeing the whole buy in from
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: the community saying hey, we're all in, let's go. So
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: from a coaching standpoint, we can't be more grateful, you know,
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: we're thankful for that. And so man, we're just thankful
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: for parents that are allowing us to coach their little
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: ones and they're to make them become you know, better men,
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: you know, for the future. And we've got some athletes man,
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: like I'm excited to see what going to do. Retired
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: of playing ourselves, I'm sure.
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:02
  Speaker 6: Gach Hunter said that, like they know what we're doing.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: We know what they're doing. We're like, all right, when
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: can we play? Man?
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Me and Rod with misospechprets Medis, we're just talking about
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: this and this is not a shot at Brandon and all.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: This could happen anywhere. I was talking about it's amazing
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: how quickly you can lose it in football. And then
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: how quickly you can get it back. And what I
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: mean is you know and Sam Williams, you know him well.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: You and Sam, I believe were at stayed together. Sam
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: had it rolling, and then when Sam left whatever whatever
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: happened last year just didn't work for whatever reason, and
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: they lost it. And now it feels like it's back,
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: like the energy is different here. Visiting with Tyson Robinson,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: visiting with Slaton Shack, Coach Clinton, you know, visit with
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Coach Hunter, visiting with yourself, and we've talked off the
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: air and stuff. It's it's weird how you can lose
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: momentum but then it can shift and you can get
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: him back.
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: Leadership matters right right, no doubt Coach Clinton's doing a
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: great job. He's given Coach Hunter and an opportunity to
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: just say, hey, do what you feel best. I'm putting
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: a ball in your quarter on defense for me and
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: offense for Coach Owner, and he's doing some things. I
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: love what Coach Owner's doing and bring into it for me.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: It's kind of finding out what we can attain, you know,
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: coming from a college background, what can we absorb and
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: know because there's no reasons and putting something out there
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: that we're not gonna be consistent with right. But everything
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: that we do, uh, you know, defensively is all about alignment. Assignment.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: We're I mean, we're really good. We feel comfortable with that.
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: But it's it's cool to see Coach Clinton kind of
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: just say, hey, man, I'm not going to try to
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: micro Hey, I trust the guys that I brought in.
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: You know. You know I was telling that we were
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: talking to a parents this summer is like, man, you
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: trust him, Like keep trusting us that we're gonna we're
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: gonna do everything under his leadership and to make this
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: thing like everybody's desiring to be right. And so we're
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: excited about it. We really are. It's it's just fun.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: It's a it's a new chapter for me and my family,
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: but it's it's it's really fun to see this all
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: come to fruition. You know.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: So for those that don't know, talk a little bit
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: about what kind of defense you're gonna put on the field.
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: Mentioned that you come from a college background. You know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: you obviously were with Jackson Academy last year part of
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: a state championship team. What kind of you know, kind
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: of your philosophy and just kind of you know, at
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: a at a high level ten thousand foot what a
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: coach turner defense looks like.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Man, we it really goes back to being sound like
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: I've learned this from a lot of people from being
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: in so this being my third year in high school
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: and it's probably the only time I actually say this
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: is just talk about me, Like I'm not the kind
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: of guy's flashy tweet, Twitter whatever, like or x whatever
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: he's calling now, Like I'm not a I've told somebody like,
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: if you know less about me, I'm doing my job right.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: But if you know me, I'm not doing my job.
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: And so my background is more college setting, you know,
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: almost a decade in junior college with the East Smissippi
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: National championship with Jack Hilly and all those guys at
• 25:51
  Speaker 6: sorry you will, with Napier's last year there, we won
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: a conference championship with him, Delta State with Ron Roberts
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: and Pete Golden when he was a d C at
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: Delta State, you know, a national championship we lost, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: we won conference championship then, like I've been blessed to
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: kind of be a part and then obviously our thing
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: when the coach Doug and at JAA like it was
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: a fun experience to see different ways and how people
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: interpret it. But at the end of the day, it's
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: always started with the player led team. And so here
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: you have these caliber athletes that are player led and
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: they're learning their role. They might not be as vocal,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: but their action led base right, And so that's what's
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: so cool. So you see the lot of buying going
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: back to where we were talking about, like a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: of guys showing up the summer, pushing themselves even this
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: spirit like this fall camp, like hey, coach, we hear
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: let's go you know where these guys gonna show up
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: where they're not like it's a different high school. Like
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: I'm learning this stuff, but it's like like I don't
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: know the outside noise. I promise you I don't. I'm
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: off of media, Like I just a like the reason
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: I'm running up here is we were just meeting with
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: the defense staff, like going over things, Hey, how we
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: see this, how we see that, like or we're on
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: the same page, we teaching it the same way, or
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: were hearing the same thing, and we you know, are
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: they hearing the same thing. And it's just fun like
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: when you have all the sky's the limit, you know.
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: So you know, it's interesting to hear you say, hey, look,
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know that outside noise, and I believe you
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: when you say that. I was reading a story on
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: one of the Little League baseball team because you know,
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: a Little League World Series is going on right now,
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: that tournament is and one of the schools or one
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: of the teams rather said that they felt like their
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: level of success is due to they have a policy
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: where five hours before every game or every or before
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: every game, they make their kids put put their cell
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: phones and backs like their backs like you can't touch them.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: We don't want the outside of afference. How important is
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: that to teach your young men that too, because we
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: know this young people. You know, we were talking to
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Jacob Vinstra earlier and he was talking about AI and
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: how they're trying to teach kids in school that hey,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: you know, it's a tool. It's not a friend, it's
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: not a social platform, but just to get guys to
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: buy in and then push out all the stuff that's
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: out there.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: It's funny you brought that up because most recent guy
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: was TJ. White that I had on my defense over
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: at JAA and talking with him like he was all
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: about the social media, and it was the old saying,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: you live by the sword, you die by the sword,
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: you know. And I was like, man, can't you can't
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: let the outside noise motivate you because that same energy
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: can also flip on you. Talking about earlier, like the change,
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: it is like a roller coaster ride, right, and so
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: like if you let that build you up, you are
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: also going to let that tear you down. And where
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to teach these guys, it's like who cares? Yeah,
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: like even for me, who cares? If they don't think
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: I can coach you? What? Who cares? Like just the
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: coach Clinton and I were just having this conversation then
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: a very high percentage I'll just make it up. Ninety
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: nine percent of the time people were fighting with their
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: own self conscious and their own thoughts and their own
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: voices in their head when nobody else could care less, like, Okay,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: you messed up. Keep it moving, like, don't dwell on it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 6: Like I teach these guys this, don't let life speak
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: louder in truth? Right, y'all were made wonderfully and perfect
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: right obviously in the image of God. But like like, guys,
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: y'all have a platform, y'all have a purpose. God has
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: blessed y'all with this ability. And you're at a great institution,
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: a great community. Go have fun, like in the means right,
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: doing the right way, but like like, go fly around,
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: go do your job. Little things matter, right, they've snowball
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: and the bigger things, so we can master the small things.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: Everything else is going to handle in the big times
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: when the big moments come up, right, And so that's
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: what you're trying to teach these guys to say, believe
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: in yourself. That's the one thing when on conversation with
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: Coach Clinton before the hire, like we kept calling and
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: talking to since I've been in high school, even at JAA,
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Like I found myself teaching young men to believe in
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: themselves rather than anything else. And it's cool to see
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: these guys believe and say, hey, man, like, Okay, I
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: messed up, but I can live the fight another day.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: Like let's keep moving forward, right cause I'm a firm believer.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: I'd rather see you mess up and let's learn from it.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Then you do a perfection and be like, oh I
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: ain't got and learn because you can't learn from me in.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Perfect You know, it's interesting because that's one of the
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: shifts that I've seen here, even just today visiting with
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: you and Coach Clinton and Coach Hunter is you know,
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: we can talk schematics, we can put stuffing it on
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: a board that looks real good. You know, we can
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: go three wide on one side and go two about
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to drive defensively. You can twist and
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: flip and move a lot. Today has been about this
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: culture and it's you can feel it's in Unison, Like
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: you guys aren't just saying it. This is what you're walking.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: And we were talking about Chris Jones over at Hines,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: who we do. I do Hines weekly with him and
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: on our radio station. And Coach Jones is a big,
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: big culture guy, and he will not talk to you
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: a whole lot about scheme, and he will not talk
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: to you a whole lot about It's like, hey man, look,
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: it's way more than just what we do on a
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: on a ball game night. Like I need to see
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: what we're doing in the mornings, in the afternoons in
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: the day. And I feel like that's where you guys
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: are here. Yeah, I mean, and I didn't really answer
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: your question on what's the scheme of.
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: Coach Turner, Like I mean and taking right, Yeah, but
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: like at the end of the day, like it's football man,
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: Like I learned from going back to what I was
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: saying earlier, like NFL guys, like I watched what's his name? Uh, shoot,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: he's the DC right now, you will, Like I was
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: this contact he got in and and from what I heard,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: he was like he was like, go basic, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: like just play simple football alignment in Simuth keys is
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: the number is the name of the game on defense, right,
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: And so if we are mastering that, we're mastering over
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: half of what defenses need to know right in order
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: to play football, Like if you line up, you got
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: a chance, right, and so here schematically and learning all
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: the schemes and stuff. Yeah, what coach Hunter does, I'm
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: a big fan of it. I'm hoping what we do
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: is going to be something that's like a monkey wrench
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: thrown into it. And I've talked to coach Davis multiple
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: times over at m ra A. You know, he's still
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: on the defense now. He's been calling me up like, hey,
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: what's your thoughts on this? And I'm telling my thoughts
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: and uh, you know, and it's just like just talking ball,
• 31:55
  Speaker 6: Like I got no problem talking ball. But my philosophy
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: with that is, you know everybody's coach. Dugan used to
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: get uh, mess with me about man, you will you
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: give things away rather than you're supposed to want to
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: be a receiver not a giver. And I was like, well,
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: the way I look at it is, it's like, at
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: the end of the day, I can have my mom's
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: recipe or my grandmother's recipe on making this one dish
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: one thousand percent. I'm not going to get it right.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: So I can give you all this, But if you
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: don't know the rhyme, the rhyme and reason, the whine
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: and when what to do and why to do it
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: and why you're doing it, then I mean, good luck.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: It's like throwing stuff on the wall and hoping it sticks,
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: and it's going to match the same way like Nick
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Saban you can do his defense and his philosophy, Like
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Kirby's not doing the same thing as Nick. I mean,
• 32:35
  Speaker 6: you heard Pete Golden say the same thing. When he's DC.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: He tell you what he wanted, but then what he
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: liked and what coach you know, Saban liked and what
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: he didn't like, you know, but at the end of
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: the day, like you got to know the rhyme and
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: reason and you only learn that from culture, right right,
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: being in the fox hole, if you will, like understand
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: the rhyme and reason and what you saw and oh
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: this makes sense because of this and this and this. Right,
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: So anyway, we've all been there, We've had our pass
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: and our and and it all united us to this
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: point of being at Brandon High School.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: You know, before we get you on your way here
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: a visit with coach Turner defensive coordinator he brand hig school,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: le't ask you about one player, Trevion Washington.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: How good can he be?
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: He's good? Uh, yeah, he's he's he can do his thing.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: His is going to be the mental aspect, you know
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: forgetting moving on now. He is a he's that guy
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: and we were watching the play a while ago, is like, well,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: technically he's supposed to do this, but he did this,
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: and he's just an Athlete's always gonna be an athlete, right,
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: So yeah, it's like dang if you didn't dang if
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: you did type deal like small things, right you go
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: on or to block you better make the play. If
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: you don't, you're gonna get chewed out, right, And so
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: it's just he is gifted. He really is. Like his
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: closing speed is uh uh, I haven't seen I mean
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: J T or TJ. White had some closing speed, but yeah,
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: this he's got some closing speed. You know. We made
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: a comment about that just when it comes to tackle,
• 34:02
  Speaker 6: like he's like in there quick. We've got some things
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: for him that we're gonna kind of allow the offense
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: to have to figure out what they want to do
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: with that. So but at the end of the day,
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: is that's all it is on offensive defense. You just
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: put your athletes in position what they can do, and
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: you just let them go play ball, like, don't over
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: complicate it.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Well, look, we appreciate you jumping in. I'm sorry you
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: had to run and do all that.
• 34:25

  Speaker 1: Man. Absolutely, it's always baseball, isn't it?
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: Always you're around?
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: So, uh, let's talk a little baseball. You guys had
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: another really good year this year. We were talking about
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: just how weird in baseball. People know this, how weird
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: baseball is.
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Pedal comes out of you know, the region as a
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: four seed. They go on to win the state championship.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma came out of nowhere, you know, Ole miss did
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: it a few years ago, you said, you guys did
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: Baseball is just a weird game, and it's a weird
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: but fun game.
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's all about getting hot at the right time.
• 36:10
  Speaker 10: That's why I can't stress too much over the way
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: season starts. It's all about how it ends. We saw
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: that in twenty four and we won it with three
• 36:18
  Speaker 10: freshmen on the field, and we're thinking it's more of
• 36:21
  Speaker 10: a rebuilding year and start the season off below five
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: hundred and find a way to get hot at the
• 36:25
  Speaker 10: right time and ended up winning state championship and again
• 36:29
  Speaker 10: enough to go back the second year, and Madison took
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: that one and then again Pedal last year started off
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: really slow, but Pedal had a really good team. Coach
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: Douglas did a good job with those guys, and again
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: they got hot at the right time. But they'd had
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: the talent all year, just didn't really play real well
• 36:43
  Speaker 10: early in the season, but then put it together and
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: they were gonna be tough for anybody to handle late
• 36:49
  Speaker 10: late in the season. And they were one that was
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: projected pre season in the top one or two in
• 36:55
  Speaker 10: the state, and both of us were up there and
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: ended up being both of us left in the South
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: so yeah, hats off to them really good year. But yeah,
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: they got they got really hot, and they were tough
• 37:04
  Speaker 10: to handle.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: You know what's interesting about like baseball, just take Pedal
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: for instance, and I don't remember because I don't have
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: the stats in front of me. They didn't hit a
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: ton of long balls in the regular season, and it's
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: like when they got in the postseason, the ball just
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: came off the bats game after game after game. What
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: do you what do you attribute that to something like
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: that or you know, just something in baseball that teams
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: maybe were very average at, but then you get them
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: in a situation and you see it, you see it
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: in all levels of baseball, then all of a sudden,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: they just wow you with it.
• 37:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think that's just just like we talked about earlier,
• 37:33
  Speaker 10: getting hot at the right time that players build confidence.
• 37:37
  Speaker 10: That confidence bleeds into the rest of the team. A
• 37:39
  Speaker 10: guy gets hot and hits a home run, and the
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: next thing, you know, everybody's hip. The next guy gets
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: in there, he feels good about it because what he
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: just saw, and then he runs one out of the
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: park and they just get on a run and hit
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: multiple over over a few games where they may have
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: not hit any in previous games. Pedal was, like you said,
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: a little slow to start, but then put it together
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: and swung it really well. And that's that's just where
• 38:00
  Speaker 10: it goes.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: Visit with Daniel Best, he's the head baseball coach here
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: at Brandon Thursday edition of your program. You guys, players
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: that play football play multiple sports. I know that you are,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: but just talk. Some coaches are not an advocate of
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: specialization kind of where you've kind of moved and Ben
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: mean in your career as a head coach, and of
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: course you played ball, played at Southern mess where you
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: were on specialization or not.
• 38:24
  Speaker 10: For kids, yeah, I think they should play all they
• 38:27
  Speaker 10: can play, be well rounded athlete, competing year round. It's
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: one thing to practice part of the year and then
• 38:33
  Speaker 10: compete another part of the year. It's different for guys
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: that are competing year round, no matter what the sport is.
• 38:38
  Speaker 10: The year that we wanted, we I think we had
• 38:40
  Speaker 10: ten football players on roster that year and that's the
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: most we've ever had. Nine the next year and we
• 38:45
  Speaker 10: went back. This year, we're down with I think we
• 38:48
  Speaker 10: only have three with football this year. A couple of
• 38:51
  Speaker 10: injuries or we may have a couple more that would
• 38:54
  Speaker 10: that would be out there, but yeah, they need to
• 38:57
  Speaker 10: play it as long as they can play it. A
• 38:58
  Speaker 10: lot of these guys at this level are really good athletes,
• 39:01
  Speaker 10: and they're they're good enough to play both and come
• 39:03
  Speaker 10: over and pick up the next sport and be ready
• 39:05
  Speaker 10: to roll. And if you look at your rosters for
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: your your big time college programs or SEC schools, those
• 39:11
  Speaker 10: guys that are that they're signing to play baseball or
• 39:13
  Speaker 10: guys that were playing multiple sports in high school, they're
• 39:15
  Speaker 10: not guys that are that were specialized. Yes, there are
• 39:18
  Speaker 10: some of those guys, but but a lot of those
• 39:20
  Speaker 10: guys play both ways. And for me, I don't I
• 39:23
  Speaker 10: don't think you tell a kid or try to get
• 39:25
  Speaker 10: a kid to do one unless a kid is average
• 39:30
  Speaker 10: and not really playing a lot at one and an
• 39:31
  Speaker 10: elite at another one and he knows that right, that's
• 39:34
  Speaker 10: what he's gonna do and he makes that decision, then
• 39:36
  Speaker 10: I'm okay in that in that instance. But for guys
• 39:38
  Speaker 10: that are just wanting to compete and get after it,
• 39:40
  Speaker 10: just play them all, play them as long as you can.
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: Got a couple of minutes left here with coach Daniel
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: best head baseball coach. We've seen obviously guys from Brandon
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: want to play at a high level, uh, you know,
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: college and even beyond. We've seen here recently in the
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: state of Mississippi, from the Parkers, uh you know, to
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Jackson Prepp players and others going to the major leagues.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: It seems like the competition is stake. It's better every year. Yeah.
• 40:02
  Speaker 10: Absolutely, there's a lot of good baseball and a lot
• 40:05
  Speaker 10: of good players. You look at all the draft picks
• 40:08
  Speaker 10: here lately with with Connor Griffin and then Booth goes
• 40:11
  Speaker 10: in the first round out of Oak Grove this year,
• 40:12
  Speaker 10: Kevin Roberts goes all just really good players and there,
• 40:17
  Speaker 10: like you said, the Parker brother there's a lot of
• 40:19
  Speaker 10: them and a lot of them playing at a really
• 40:21
  Speaker 10: high level. They're not guys that are just getting picked
• 40:23
  Speaker 10: up and not really doing any They're guys that are
• 40:25
  Speaker 10: going in and competing like right off the bat. So
• 40:27
