• 1:01
  Speaker 4: What a great week, too, as we'll kind of do
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: what we always do during football. We'll look back and
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: look ahead.
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: How are you? I am doing good. I'm just thinking
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: about what it's like around the country this week as,
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: you know, people are looking at, well, in the NFL, obviously,
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: week one in the books, in college football, it's Some
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: people play good opponents, and I just keep thinking about
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: what it's got to be like in Eugene, Oregon right
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: now when that performance against that type of team and
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: to get dominated. I always think about those poor guys
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: because they take it the toughest when you struggle like that.
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: There's no doubt, and Chris, Oregon struggled against BYU. We'll
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: start right there since you brought them up. I thought
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: I wanted to go there anyway, but Oklahoma State, Upset
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: on week one. We knew that they had a really young,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: good staff come in. A lot of transfer portal players
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: over from North Texas. And then Oregon, I mean, they've
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: got problems.
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: They do. And the thing about it is they just
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: got handled at the line of scrimmage. They've got two
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: new coordinators, and yeah, I know there's adjustments, but that
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: doesn't factor into the problems of the physicality or the
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: lack thereof. There's some talent on that team.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: There's some.
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: guys that have got next-level ability, not just quarterback. And
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: to be playing that poorly is just surprising. And, again,
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: they got back in the game. I mean, it's not
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: very the lead. They got completely outplayed in that game.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: And I know it was– I don't know how many
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: people saw it. They had a weather delay issue. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: it was kind of– it bled into two different time slots.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: But I've got to tell you, it was not pretty
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: at all to see them struggle and be ranked as
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: high as they are. I tell you what's going to
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: be interesting in two weeks. This is going to be
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: a huge game when they play USC because you've got
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: the pressure on Oregon, but then you've got the pressure
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: on Lincoln-Riley and USC. Imagine if they lay an egg
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: against an angry, embarrassed Oregon team. That's just going to
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: be fun to watch here, but that's in a couple
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: of weeks.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: Visiting with Chris Landry. Make sure to give him a
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: follow on X at Landry Football. Check out the website, LandryFootball.com.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Get the podcast on YouTube. Subscribe and more. All right,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State goes up to Minnesota. They get a 38-13 win.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Win this game handily. They were up 28-6 at the half.
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: Defense looks improved under Zach Arnett. Kamario Taylor looks to be,
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: you know, likely the best quarterback that they have had
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: since probably Nick Fitzgerald or Dak Prescott. You know, just
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: as far as a well-oiled machine. You know, God's going
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: to make you play 11-on-11. your thoughts on that game
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: and what you saw in now a big trip to
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: South Carolina coming up this weekend.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: Well, we talked about it last week. I thought they'd
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: go up and handle Minnesota more athletic, better. They did that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: And a whole lot more. I mean, they dominated a game.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: No question about it. They're impressive right now. They may
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: have the quarterback that's playing the best in the entire sec. Um,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: they are flying around the football. Um, I'm excited what
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: I see. Let's see. Look, I think they can go
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: to South Carolina and win. I think Missouri is gettable,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: although that's a good Missouri team. The next two weeks
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: are going to tell us a lot. Look, I mean, Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Texas,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: that's going to ultimately kind of– that's tough. That's a
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: tough four-game stretch, although we've got a break on October
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: 10th after Alabama and before LSU. But I think South
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Carolina ought to handle them first. And then Missouri is
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: going to be really pivotal because I think after that,
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, they've got chances in pretty much all
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: those games with maybe the exception of the four that
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: I mentioned. But let's just see how this plays out.
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: I'm excited to what I see. The quarterback gives them
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: a chance in any game, but they are playing well
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: around them. And the passing game is really efficient. But, no,
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: I'm really impressed with what I'm seeing. And, look, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: think as you win, the stakes get higher. And I
• 5:20
  Speaker 5: think South Carolina's got the– they're going to be in
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: for it this week. What a quarterback matchup. But South
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Carolina's going to have to play very well to beat
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Mississippi State, no question.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: You mentioned Oklahoma. They go down to Michigan at the
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Big House 17-10. That was a 10-0 ballgame. They came back,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: tied it up. John Mateer looks good coming off the bus.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: He looks good in the video room. He looks good
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: at the Manning Passing Academy. He didn't look good Saturday.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Just not a good passer, and that's the thing about it.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: The run-threat quarterbacks are very dangerous, very difficult for defenses
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: to prepare for. He's got to be able to throw
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: the football accurately. I mean, you're seeing that, whether we
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: get to it or not, you're seeing that with some
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: other guys. I mean, you see that sometimes on Sundays.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: You saw that with Sam Leather against Louisiana Tech. Mateer,
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: without the quarterback run, this team offensively is going to struggle.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: They've got to get more efficiency out of the passing game.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: It's a good defense. They can run the football, including
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: the quarterback run, but their ceiling is going to be
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: pretty low unless they can improve their passing game. That's
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: just the bottom line.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Alabama.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Alabama.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, got punched in the mouth early. Kentucky, uh, put
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: up a fight. That was a, uh, you know, 17,
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: 13 ball game in favor of Kentucky at the half.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Then Alabama put up, uh, you know, 32 points in
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: the second half and shut out Kentucky. What did you
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: see out of Alabama that you liked? And then what
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: maybe made you a little pause there on Alabama?
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: Uh, the, the, the, the defense is playing very well
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: and they're very good as I thought they would be.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: They are that. And then some, they're very, very good.
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: And they, um, On all three levels, they're good. Their
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: secondary is outstanding. Linebackers are very instinctive. Playmakers. This is
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: a very good defense. And I thought there was a
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: little bit of an adjustment period early. Obviously, Kentucky got
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: a score basically off of mistakes. What I didn't like
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: about Alabama is just the mistakes they made early. I mean, basically,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: they gifted Kentucky a touchdown. credit Kentucky for making a
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: really good play, but you've got to protect the football.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: They didn't do that well at all. Made way too
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: many mistakes. And I look, I think the, again, the
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: efficiency in the passing game is something to see going forward.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: How good can it be? That'll determine how far this
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: team can go because the quarterback is dynamic. But at
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: this point, he's making big plays for his team and
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: the opposition. So again, In essence, Kentucky was in the
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: game because Alabama played very poorly in the first half.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: Then they settled down, didn't make mistakes, and they kind
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: of just torched Kentucky in the second half. So they
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: can't get away with that if they play that poorly
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: against better teams. But that's kind of what my summation
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: of watching Alabama.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Texas, boy, they got down big. Two turnovers, first two drives,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: a fumble on the first play, a little swing pass
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: to the running back, and then the deep ball that
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: just a fluke. I say fluke. It was a freak play.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: The receiver had it, and then it comes out of
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: his hands right into the DB's hands. It looked like
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: Ohio State was going to blow them out in their
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: own building, but you've got to credit Steve Sarkeesian, Arch Manning.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: That offensive line played well, and Texas with a big comeback.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look, Texas is good. Again, how good you look depends.
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: relatively speaking on the mistakes you make or the, the,
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: you avoid, they, they played sloppy. You mentioned the drop
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: ball really hurt them. There was some big plays to
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: be had, or they could have gotten off to a
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: quicker start. And then because of the hole, they dug
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: themselves in Ohio state was very close to putting them away.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean? If they don't, if they look,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: I think Ohio state to me, still very good. Uh,
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: They've got a great receiver, but the number two guy,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: if you can bracket him, can they make enough plays
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: away from number one? I don't know. And defensively, I
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: didn't think their defensive line played all that well, although
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Texas' offensive line is good. It's a big win for
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: Texas because I think coming back to win it, I
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: think it does a lot for their momentum. But it
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: really comes down to, I think Texas, just played very sloppy,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: very poorly, and left a lot of plays on the
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: field in the first half, or else that might have
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: been a more, you know, more decisive type of complete performance,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: I would say, out of Texas. I think Texas will
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: be fine. I think Ohio State's going to be fine.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: I think both of these teams will still likely end
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: up in the playoffs. But, yeah, I was impressed, and
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: you could see kind of the release, and I think
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: that had a lot to do with the reactions of
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: both Arch Manning and Steve Sarkeesian. It was almost like
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: there was bigger relief than joy, combination relief than joy,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: I would say.

• 12:19
  Speaker 4: to show some Southern hospitality. And Lane Kiffin's return. This
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: is on ESPN. It just broke. Quote, we might need
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the National Guard out there to protect our team this weekend. Boy,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: there's going to be a sight this weekend.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: I will tell you this. I had a brief conversation
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: when I was over at the facility. This was about
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: three weeks ago with Ed Orgeron. He told me, I'm
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: not a great Ed Orgeron impressionist, but I'll do my
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: best for you here.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: He said, Chris, Chris. When we go to Oxford, they're
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: going to need a Popemobile for Lane. I'm serious. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I don't think there's going to be a lot of
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Southern hospitality. I think a Popemobile would be a good idea.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure they can get one ordered.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I agree. You've got the spectacle off the field.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's just going to be a massive number
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: of people in Oxford this weekend. On the field, who
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: do you like? Who has the edge going in this weekend?
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: Well, you can't take out the emotion and everything leading
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: up to it. But LSU's the better team, better talent.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I've not been impressed with Ole Miss at all. The
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: defense has not looked good at any time this year. Now,
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: this is going to be a different test. I thought
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: LSU made a ton of mistakes, mental errors. I don't know.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: You know, the little bit of the, they were ready
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: to play against Clemson. It doesn't seem like they were
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: ready to play against Louisiana Tech. That's not good. They're
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: going to be ready to play. I think Ole Miss
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: is a better team. I mean, I think LSU is
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: a better team. I think Ole Miss has got a
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: lot of emotion on their side. I'm curious to see
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: if Ole Miss can kind of, can they play with
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: what I call good emotions. You can't be like you
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: just want to kill somebody and all of a sudden
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: you make a lot of mental errors. If that happens,
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: they'll get blown out at home and it'll be an embarrassment.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: If they play with aggression, passion, focus, high intensity, attention
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: to detail, they can play with LSU and cause some problems,
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: take it into the fourth quarter. You know the fans
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: are going to be in it as long as it's close,
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: but let that thing get out of hand. um, then
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: I think it, it neutralizes some of the advantages in short.
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: I think LSU is the better team. Uh, but heck, I,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: you know, as we said at the beginning, uh, Oregon
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: is a better team than Oklahoma state. It didn't play
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: out that way. So let's see. Uh, I expect LSU
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: to win the game.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't call it a fly under the radar game.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: It's a big game in the sec, but it's not
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: going to grab the attention that this one will, um,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Florida at Auburn this weekend, uh, Two new coaches, two
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: new program, you know, two new coach leading kind of
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: revivals at programs. Who do you like at Florida at Auburn?
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, watching Auburn's had a little bit more
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: of a task. I think that defensively, Auburn looks a
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: little better at this stage. With Florida, they've just, they've
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: not played anybody very good. So in essence, I know
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: a little bit more about Auburn than Florida because I've
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: seen Florida play against weaker competition. Auburn at home, I'd
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: give them an edge. But I just, you know, offensively,
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: I'm wondering who's going to be able to step up
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: and make plays for either team offensively. That's going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: be the key in this one. So give a slight
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: edge to Auburn. But to me, this is a toss-up game.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: And you're right. It's going up against the same time
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: frame as LSU Ole Miss. So maybe the pressure's off.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: I'm excited to watch it. I think outside of the
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: state and South Carolina game, I mean, this is the
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: I think it's probably the third best game, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: because I think State and South Carolina, to me, is
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: even more intriguing. But, yeah, those are three good ones.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: And then out of conference, Alabama, Florida State, which might
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: be the end for Mike Norvell, particularly what's happening today
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: with his athletic director, Mike Alford, getting the ax.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no doubt the wheels are turning down in Tallahassee.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: We've got Denver KC tonight. Your thoughts on that one?
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: And then some highlights of what you saw over the
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: weekend in the NFL.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I think Denver, Kansas City, I like this Denver team.
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: I think they absolutely could win that division. So, you know,
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I'm curious to see how first week is so very difficult.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Kansas City at home is going to be tough, you know,
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: tough to win there. I did not see the Cardinals
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: beating the Chargers in week one. That was the biggest
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: surprise to me. But I think we... We probably need
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: about three to four weeks, as we always do, to
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: kind of see what these teams are. I guess the
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: Chargers losing and playing as poorly as they did. I
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: would say that Buffalo, you know, coming back impressively against Houston,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: you wonder, is Josh Allen going to have to continue
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: to do everything like he has? The Bears' offense is
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: for real, but really? Their defense? Just don't know how
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: good that's going to be there. I thought the Saints
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: really played very well against Detroit. Absolutely had a chance
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: to win it. Just Green Bay's defense, what abysmal performance there.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: So that was kind of the headliner. I thought the Giants, boy,
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: you could see the Harbaugh effect early. That's a physical team.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: You're going to be battered and bruised after playing that team,
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: just like his Baltimore team's. You're going to see that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: So that's kind of my take of week one of
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: what I saw in the NFL.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Make sure to get him at LandryFootball.com. And, of course,
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: you can get him on X, subscribe to the show
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: on YouTube, TikTok, and more. Chris, always appreciate your time.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Enjoy the week. It should be a good one. And
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: we'll recap it next week.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Look forward to it. Thank you so much.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Thank you. Chris Landry on your radio talking through, of course,
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: a great weekend coming up and recapping Auburn football. had
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: no problems with Southern Miss over the weekend. They won 43-8.
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: That was a 17-0 first quarter matchup, you know, where
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Auburn kind of got out and stayed out. They were
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: up 27-8 at the half, put 16 more on the
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: board in the third quarter, and it was a scoreless
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter. Again, South Carolina takes care of Towson over
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: the weekend, 45-9. They'll host Mississippi State this weekend. A
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: couple texts here, Raider Nation. You guys talked about their division,
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: and without even mentioning the Raiders, you haters.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: No, we mentioned the teams that matter in that division.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: That's Kansas City, Denver, and Los Angeles. Not so much
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Las Vegas because they are still the Raiders. You got
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a neat win against the Dolphins.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Neat.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: You got two good pieces, Genting and Bowers, and one
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: of them isn't even there. So what do we say
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: about the Raiders?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, good win.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: No, it's not a good win. No, it's a neat.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: It was a neat win because it was the Dolphins.
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: That's right. Look, the Dolphins are going to be a
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: sacrificial lamb every week.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: And Kirky still went out there and threw two picks
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. I didn't like to see that. See,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I like Kirky. That's the thing. You don't want to
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: know what happened in Kirky.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Jason in Flagstaff. He said, I did Riot and Crowd Control.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: training when he was in the Army pre 9-11. And
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I promise you, the Louisiana National Guard wants no part
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: of that. Yeah, we'll get into Jeff Landry's Jeff Landry.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Did I say that right? Is that the governor?
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Jeff Landry, not Chris Landry. Jeff Landry, his comments, and

• 20:16
  Speaker 6: Do you stay up at night thinking about the lack
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: of push from your team's offensive line? Do you spill
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: your Dr. Pepper arguing with your TV because pundits are
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: torching your defense?
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: You're not crazy.
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: You're a fan, and no college football fan can fan
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: to their fullest without the bold, one-of-a-kind taste of Dr.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Pepper.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: It won't fix any of the problems we previously stated
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: But it's delicious, and drinking it at a tailgate will
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: make you look like a ball knower, which is a
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: great consolation prize for the lack of push your offensive
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: line gets. College football, it's a pepper thing.

• 21:32
  Speaker 4: We're brought to you by Maristar Casino. JC, Jake, simply put,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: your picks are 5 and 18. That's not winning and
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: certainly not worthy of being called winners. You know, The
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: numbers through the first two weeks around the country, the
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: gen public is only hitting 38% to 45% against Vegas.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: First two weeks. It's been a bloodbath. Look, even the
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: big boys, Travis, Barstool, I mean, nobody's hitting. Nobody's hitting.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Why is nobody hitting? Is it because the picks are bad? No.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: It's because this transfer. Look at Oregon. Would you have
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: believed Oregon would lose to Oklahoma State? Kennesaw State was
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: a 14.5-point favorite over the weekend, and they got run
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: out of the building. I think it's J.C. treat it
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: like this, a basketball game. You got to treat it
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: like a basketball game. You expect to do well. You
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: come out. You have some turnovers. And then the other
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: team has a flurry of threes, and they go up
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: by 17. Well, then you've got to spend the rest
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: of the game getting back in it. Look at Texas.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: We're going to treat this WIMS winner's year like Texas
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: versus Ohio State. We're down. We're going to have a
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: big comeback. Is that fair? You're not liking these analogies, right?
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: It's two weeks in. It's two weeks in. Nobody, I mean,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: now you almost hit a parlay. Chris sent us one.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: He almost hit one. But overall, across the country, Vegas
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: is destroying the general public right now. And I think
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: it's because the transfer portal, I'll just decide. And because the,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: the talent across the board is so thin and we
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: don't know what we have with a lot of these teams.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Is that fair?
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so. Let's see, Matt, Matt is college. Well,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: this is not Matt. It's college football becoming rigged like
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: the NFL. Now that's a question you ought to keep
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: for Matt Wyatt tomorrow. I would love to hear Matt's
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: response on that because, Matt, who just, oh, Matt is
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: saying Matt. I think he's saying Matt. Is college football
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: becoming rigged like the NFL? I'd still like to hear
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Matt Wyatt's response on this. Are we sure that the
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: NFL is rigged, though? Because this text would tell me
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: that we know emphatically the NFL is rigged. Oh, man.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, let me tell you. Old Saints, bro. He's convinced
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: that it's rigged against the Saints.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: After yesterday.
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: He's firmly on board now. It's rigged just against the Saints, though. Like,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: apparently the NFL and all of us idiots out here,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: we are just scared of the New Orleans Saints. We just,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: for some reason, we don't want them to win. We're
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: stacking the deck against the Saints.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So why would Roger Goodell and the suits at the NFL,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: what acts do they have to grind against New Orleans?
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: That's a great question.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: So it's rigged against the Saints. You know, I think
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I told you there was a guy several years ago
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: who met with me about a business he wanted to
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: look at doing some advertising. But he was convinced the
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: NFL was rigged. Like, you weren't talking. He would have
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: fought you if you'd have told him different. So you
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: just let him go. And he had it figured out
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: that that coming year, and I think it was 2019, 2021,
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: it was the Cowboys year. And the Cowboys turned and
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: obviously didn't pan out that way. But there are people
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: that really believe the NFL is like WWE. It's a
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: rigged reality TV show.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: I don't see it.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Maybe because my eyes don't see well. Maybe I just
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: don't see it. But I know what I don't believe
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: college football is rigged either. I mean, how would you
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: rig college football? Like 130 something teams. The real name
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: texture said, except for losing three houses, I'm up. Absolutely.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You are, sir. Let's keep swinging. Let's see here. DX,
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: how did Wim's winners finally win? Well, there was a
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: few wins on there, but it was a bad week.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: It's been a bad two weeks, DX, but we're going
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: to come back. JC, Jake, we need a firm commitment
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: from you. What is the threshold? At what point do
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: you admit defeat? Is there any record at any point
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: that would cause you to admit that your picks are
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: not winners? JC, I'm going off a decade of making picks.
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: So like a couple weeks, we're not going to, you
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: don't fold the tent over eight to 10 years of
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: making picks over two weeks. That'd be like Bill Belichick
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: in the NFL having a bad start to a season.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Is that fair?
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: No, because JC's going to pop up. See, the thing is,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: you don't remember. JC has your record from last year.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: He's going to put that in there.
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: So let's just pump the brakes. Let's just see. Let's
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: just see what happens. JC, don't make me do this,
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: but I will absolutely go back multiple years on your
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Twitter feed. He's like a bloodhound, isn't he? He's on
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: a trail right now, and he's just going down the
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: trail here. Let's see here. All right, so what do
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: you think about Jeff Landry? The governor of Louisiana asking
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss to show some Southern hospitality.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: That is absurd. Because I had not seen that. When
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: you mentioned that to Chris Landry earlier, you saw the
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: way it looked at you. Because every time you start
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: a sentence with Jeff Landry on this show, I got
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: to know what's coming because it's going to be stupid.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Because I'm so sick of hearing this man in the
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: sports context. You are the governor of a state. How
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: about you do that? And for someone associated with LSU
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: and your reputation, your reputation that your trash-ass fans have
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: had for years to say, how about we show a
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: little Southern hospitality? I mean, the story I used to
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: always hear is, was just constantly about the rowdy fans
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: at Tiger Stadium throwing bourbon bottles and stuff at people. Oh, yeah.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Nice Southern hospitality there, it sounds like. Yeah.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, it's pot, meat, kettle at this point.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, look, I've never had a bad experience in
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: that stadium, talking about down in Baton Rouge. I've been
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: to a handful of games down there in my life,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: and it's always been fine, and I've always said that Normally,
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: if you act right, people will treat you right. Now,
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: there are some knuckleheads that you can get into a
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: little sideways action with. I did see a guy peeing
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: off the balcony one night years ago that laid it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I mean, dude, just let it rip. I mean, so, yeah,
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: they're not the ones to be asking for Southern hospitality
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: because they don't really show. Do they show it?
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: No.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: No. Doesn't sound like it.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: So this is something coming up this weekend. Let's see here. J-Rock.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: Beaver.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: Now Jake is Bill Belichick. No, that's no, no, no. Well,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, no. Will.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Jake.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: Jake Wim. There's winners and quitters. You can never lose
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: if you don't quit betting. Average is average. Swing to
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: the end. The big end will follow.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Swing the big end. It will follow.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: Just like baseball. DX. You need fewer picks.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: No. No.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: We stay with 10 picks. That's what we've done forever.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Dogtower Florence from last week. Highbrow is an objective for
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: someone who is perceived to be sophisticated or cultured or
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: having high intelligence as opposed to lowbrow. as meaning unsophisticated
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: or uncultured or low intellect. LSU is lowbrow. Is that fair?
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll go with that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: I think so. JC, let's be real. The LSU Ole
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Miss fan bases are both god-awful. They're perfect for each other.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Incredible bedfellows. What do you think?
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Seems... That's not far off.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: Not far off at all. All right, let's see here.
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Pete Golding from Trey Wallace sums it up pretty well
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: with LSU and Lane Kiffin heading into town. Quote, To me,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: it's like high school homecoming for these dudes. Like, if
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: you focus on the wrong stuff, and I'm going to
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: change his words here, that homecoming dance ain't very fun
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: if you get your butt beat on Friday night.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: So.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: What he's saying, you hear high school coaches talk about
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: this every, like for instance, give you a great example.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Brandon's got homecoming this week already.
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Can you believe it? Yeah, these schools do it quicker
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: than quicker. They got West Monroe coming over. And I
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: sat up and watched the West Monroe film late Friday night.
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: They look really good. They're a good football team. And
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: they've won like eight state championships over there in Louisiana.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: They're really good. If Brandon worries about the dance in
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: any school, Madison Central, whoever, this is what Pete Golding said,
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: then the dance isn't going to be so fun if
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: you get run out of your own building on homecoming night.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Golding is saying if we don't, as quote, we as
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: an Ole Miss do not do the things we need
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: to do, this party is going to be a bad party.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Like we'll get, it will not be fun. So we
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: got to take care of the game first. So I
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: thought he framed that up well. Is there any scenario
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: where LSU embarrasses Ole Miss Saturday?
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Embarrassed? What does that look like? 20 points?
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: We'll say three touchdowns.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: I go back to something Chris mentioned earlier. He said
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: he has not seen much from that Ole Miss defense
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: so far. If that continues, yeah, I could see it.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of Sam Levitt's LSU
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: tenure yet either. It's just so early for all of
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: this stuff. But there is a scenario. But I can't...
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: I don't see it getting out of hand that way.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: And I understand there's a good chance that I could
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: be completely wrong. But I don't know about an embarrassment.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: It would have to be a situation where Ole Miss
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: just coughs the football up. You know, let's just say
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: Trinidad uncharacteristically throws a couple picks early. He doesn't typically
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: do that. Let's say that LSU bait switch gets him
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: into a situation where he gives them the ball, they
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: get a couple short fields. LSU scores, they're up like 14-3.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: And then, you know, Ole Miss is clawing and fighting
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: and clawing and fighting, and then they end up losing
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: this game like 40-28. That's just– but here's the deal.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: If Kiffin has the opportunity to put more points on
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: the board, is he going to let up?
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: Yes, no doubt.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: He'll let up?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, will he let up?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: I just assumed you were going if he has the– no,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: he will not let up because in his brain space,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: has he done anything to make us not think that
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: he's a petty, petty man? Oh, yeah. So, no, if
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: he has the chance to score more, I absolutely think
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: he would score more in this situation.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: And here's, as we go to break, how Lane Kiffin is,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: and you know it. Lane Kiffin, if he gets the chance,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: you know how he likes to throw his hands up
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: on the sideline, like on a big touchdown, run down
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: the sideline with a fist pump? He is dying to
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: do that a couple times Saturday night and then give
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: the proverbial eye look into the student section. But then
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: he will complain when he gets belted. by some foreign object.

  Speaker 5: Hi, nothing much. How are y'all doing?
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: Man, we're good.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: And you hear me?
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: We got you.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: All right. Yeah. Mr.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: B there said something about not being sure what to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: make of Sam Levitt. Um, so, you know, I've, I've
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: had to watch that dude the last couple of years
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: and I don't see anything different about him at LSU.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: It was the same Sam Levitt that I've seen out here. So, um,
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: My advice to people would be expect him to look
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: like Michael Vick this weekend because he has sucked the
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: first two games, really, especially last week. And when he
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: did that out here, he would, you know, he'd go
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: on stretches where he'd look terrible. And then out of nowhere,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: he would be just electric and you couldn't stop him.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: So I would expect that to pop up at any
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: minute now.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, this weekend with touchdown, three interceptions against Louisiana Tech,
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: 344 yards. Levin carries for 22 yards. He did score
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: three touchdowns, but those were a short run. So you're right.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, he will show up probably in spurts where,
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: you know, full miss can rattle him early and maybe
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: turn out some turnovers into touchdowns, and then he may
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: look great second quarter and third quarter.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: You just don't know.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: That's exactly how he is. He's terrible most of the game,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: and then he'll just show up and they can't do
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: anything with him. So they better– Not count on him sucking.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: That's all I'm going to say.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: But I'll get off here and listen.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Love the show.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: Thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Yeah, Levitt was not good
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: against Louisiana Tech. Touchdown and three picks. And he's, you know, look,
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't go as far as to call him terrible.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: I think he's a good quarterback. He's just very inconsistent.
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: You're going to get two versions of that guy. And
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: for Ole Miss, they're going to try to turn him
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: into the bad version early. You know, if Ole Miss
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: can get up and make LSU have to push and chase,
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: I think that's what they want to do. Not that
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss can't chase. They've got the weapons to do it.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: But I think Ole Miss would love to get up
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: and have that crowd energized for four quarters. JC is
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: ready for a frat boy in a Colonel Sanders costume
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: to get his butt beat by an LSU fan and
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: the video to go viral on social media. DX, Tigers
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: by 90 this weekend. The real unnamed texture. 59.5 seems
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: low for the LSU-Ole Miss game. Traditionally, let's look at
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: this real quick. I would agree with that. Over the
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: last several meetings, if you go back all the time, LSU,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: big margin, 64-43-4. But let's see, last year was a
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: low-scoring game. It was 24-19. Ole Miss won that game.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Two years ago in Baton Rouge, LSU won 29-26. So
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: you're right below that 59.5. Three years ago, It was
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: a 55-49 ballgame. And then four years ago, 45-20. And
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: then 31-17. Both teams going to live in the 30s?
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: I think so. Yeah, I think so. That 59.5, boy,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: it's right in that sweet spot. Ready, set, go. I
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: grew up 45 minutes from Baton Rouge and have a
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: great affinity for the Tigers, but I would rather spend
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: a full weekend in Atlanta traffic than go to a
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: game at Tiger Stadium. Jake from Yazoo. Tell Lane I
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: have two open dog kennels. Juice and Landry are both welcome.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: Fix your state, not college football Landry. Great stuff, you guys.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: Thank you, sir. And Tiger Bait. Hobby, lobby, or whatever
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: the hell Ole Miss and say, blah, blah, LSU by 30.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: And Possum Neck Joe. Some of these callers should take
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: a question from Sam Levitt. Call-in spurts. What does Joe mean?
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: What's he talking about?
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I think predictive text got him here. Instead
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: of question, he was saying cue. Take a cue from
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Sam Levitt and call in spurts, meaning he thought... everyone
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: else should call in less.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Joe is not in a great mood today. Joe should
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: be in a great mood today. He's got a really
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: good quarterback that he loves in Kamario Taylor. They're going
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: to South Carolina. They got a chance to win this weekend. Look,
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: this whole call for Southern hospitality is quickly going to fall.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: You already see it here in a small, small sample size.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: It's falling on deaf ears. There's going to be zero
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Southern hospitality in Oxford this weekend, right? Now there may
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: be Southern hospitality, like inside of Ole Miss's fan base. Like, Oh, Hey,
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: you've got on red and blue, have some chicken. Here's
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: your drink. Here's your burger. That's purple and gold. It's
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: not happening. Now there'll be people obviously that bring family
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: and friends and, you know, colleagues and all that stuff.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: And they'll, they'll tailgate together. But from the large perspective,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: LSU's not getting Southern hospitality in Oxford. I mean, that's
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: not happening, right? It would almost be like a man
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: and a woman get divorced. They have kids together. And
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: the divorce is a nasty divorce. But then somehow, for
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: the child's sake, they have to do Christmas together. There's
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: not a whole lot of hospitality there, right? And that's
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: kind of what's happened here. There's been a nasty divorce
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: in Oxford between Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin. And the
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: new spouse for LSU, which is Landry in the state
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: of Louisiana, they're asking for Southern hospitality as they return
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: home for a day. Unnamed texter. Not only will Kiffin
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: run up the score if given the chance, he would
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: keep his starters in late and keep throwing. Of course
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: he would. If that were the case, I don't think
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: it gets like that. You've got Ole Miss. I mean,
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: LSU winning the game. I'm leaning Ole Miss winning in
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: the game just because it's at home. If it was
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: in Baton Rouge... I would say LSU, but it's, it's
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: all going to depend on how this game starts, how
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: this starts. Does Ole Miss put too much emotion into this? Like,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: are they so juiced that they make mistakes? You know,
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: they just, they got blood in the eyes and they're
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: just ready to go. And then all of a sudden,
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: you know, this will be big for Ole Miss. Trinidad
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: Chambliss has to play under control. And if they can
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: do that, then I think they'll be fine in this
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: ballgame and have an opportunity here. Joe says, Beaver, you're
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: a genius. You nailed it. Yes, exactly what I meant.
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: I want to say thanks to David Murray. Thanks to
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Casey Dixon. Thanks to Chris Landry. As we put a
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: bow on Monday, we'll be back three to six tomorrow.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: We'll be here in studio. Beaver gets to look at
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: me again tomorrow. I know he's happy about that. And
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: we'll be a day closer.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I thought you were doing PA announcing at junior high
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: games now.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: No, that was just a one-off. So I'm not doing
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: that tomorrow. No PA tomorrow. Unless you want to go
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: do it. Maybe we need to get you to do
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: that one day. What do you think?
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: I'll try it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Remember, ketchup is king, bacon's a delicacy, aloha means goodbye.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Be a man of increase. We have reached a crescendo
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: on a Monday.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Good night.
