  Speaker 5: Rusty Burson is here. Robert Cessna is here. I'm going
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: to say that the highlight of Saturday's game, were you there, Rusty?
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 1:35
  Speaker 7: A little warm?
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: It was hot. Yeah. I was in the shade.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: Okay, good enough.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: The highlight of the game was the world's most interesting
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: man being at the game.
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: Selling Dos Equis.
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: The world's most perplexing man is the quarterback.
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: Whoa, that's a good one. What a good segue. There
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: you go. He's a wordsmith. He should be a author, man.
• 1:59
  Speaker 8: He makes his living writing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: Those books are at RustyBurson.com.
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: There you go.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: Absolutely.
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: If you want stuff like that, it's gold.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I saw that, and he was there pregame.
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, handing out Dos Equis.
• 2:13
  Speaker 9: There were more snipers than I'd ever seen, literally, because
• 2:18
  Speaker 9: you had the head of war there. And, I mean,
• 2:22
  Speaker 9: literally the snipers were all the way around the field
• 2:26
  Speaker 9: with long guns.
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was wild.
• 2:30
  Speaker 7: Interesting.
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And they did not look like they were friendly folks.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: They were looking up into the crowd.
• 2:37
  Speaker 7: I had the best view of the game Saturday.
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: At your couch?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Well, actually, it was a bed in the condo with
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: the floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the beach in.
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: The Atlantic Ocean.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Nice. Very nice.
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: And that was a pretty good way to watch the game.
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: It was air-conditioned. It was hot.
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I mean, it was really hot. Even in the shade,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: it was hot.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I don't know that we– did anybody see this coming? No. No.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: I thought, I've obviously talked about it a lot in
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: the last 48 hours or whatever, I really thought maybe
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: Kentucky could come in and play well for a 10-12
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: minute segment and get A & M' s attention. Like Arizona State.
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: And get A & M' s attention even more because I
• 3:19
  Speaker 7: thought A & M would have it. SEC opener. This
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: team played well for half against Alabama. But then I thought,
• 3:26
  Speaker 7: If that happens, A & M' s going to snap out
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: of it, still win by double digits. No, I never
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: thought they'd win.
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: I was so disgusted by it that I left before
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: the third quarter ended.
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: After it got to be 28-7, they had no pulse,
• 3:40
  Speaker 9: no life. I hated the play calling. I hated everything
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: about that game. I'm so glad that actually somebody gave
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: me those tickets so I didn't spend any money on
• 3:48
  Speaker 9: those tickets.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: It was just so frustrating.
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: I mean, Marcel looks like, you remember when Chuck Knobloch
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: had the yips and he couldn't throw from second base
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: to first?
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: That's what he looks like right now.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: He is so inconsistent. So Elko described it as a
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: pitcher who couldn't find the strike zone.
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: Well, yeah, I heard him say that, but I think
• 4:03
  Speaker 9: he mislabeled that one because, I mean, most of the
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: time the pitcher, they may have problems finding the strike zone,
• 4:10
  Speaker 9: but they're not throwing half of the pitches in the dirt.
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's what we're seeing with him. He's obviously
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: thinking too much.
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, he has regressed so much from where he
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: was at the start.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Of last year.
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: The Notre Dame game seems like it was years and
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: years ago.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: Would you just look at the last five games he's played?
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: The last five. Go back to the last two. Texas, yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: And Miami.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: It's ugly.
• 4:37
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: Really ugly. I don't know where he gets his confidence back.
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: Now, the one thing you can't say is probably the
• 4:44
  Speaker 9: best two games he's played in his career against LSU.
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: Which is true. Which is true.
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: You have that hope, right?
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: I'll agree with you, Rusty. When I watched the third
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: quarter unfold, I was mesmerized that I thought it looked
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: like a high school team playing a freshman team. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: just couldn't believe that Kentucky just– whatever they dialed up
• 5:06
  Speaker 7: on offense was going to work, and A & M
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: could not– three touchdown drives.
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what– I went back and watched it
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: last night painfully, but it's just the way Kentucky dominated
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: the offense– Both sides. Both sides. That's what was alarming.
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: Hey, not only just the light of scrimmage. I mean everything.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I mean they physically– dominated that team Saturday.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: I didn't think that was possible. I thought they could lose.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: I mean, not against Kentucky, but I mean, you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: we expected them to lose a couple of three games.
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: I did not see that coming.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Like the physical domination, I did not see that coming.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: My daughter's at A & M right now, and she's like,
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: earlier in the week, she goes like, hey, Dad, got
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: any ideas for some buttons?
• 5:53
  Speaker 6: And I was like, yeah. Who knew Kentucky had a
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: football team?
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: And just thinking of that, I really fully expected to
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: walk in there and see A & M win by 20.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: I mean, going away, like you said.
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: I'm with you.
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: Like, okay, they're going to pull away. So 7-7 at
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: the half, and you go, well. Great adjustments at halftime.
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I said, you know, maybe they'll bust a chair
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: over somebody. Like, you know, do something, right? And then
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: to see the way Kentucky came out. And, you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: I've heard a bunch of Aggies say, well, man, what
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: cost us is we didn't score those first two drives.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, you could say that. But Kentucky
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: dropped a touchdown pass, missed a field goal.
• 6:34
  Speaker 7: True, true.
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: And that first kickoff, the opening kickoff, A & M
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: got fortunate that it wasn't a fumble.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: I thought Kentucky dominated the first quarter.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, I did. I did, too, for the most part.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: A & M held their own in the second.
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: A & M at 121 yards, first three drives.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Well, they did.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: You got a score.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: They did.
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: You get 121 yards. They didn't score. Ten minutes, zero points.
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: They didn't score.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: I thought what Elko said after the game, and then
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: he expanded on it today, Cease. He said the team
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: was loose, meaning in terms we, and I'm quoting now,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: we never got comfortable with what we were trying to do.
• 7:11
  Speaker 8: He's talking about defensively.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Honestly, I don't think we ever felt great. That showed
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: on Saturday. That was probably one of the worst defensive
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: performances I've had in my tenure. It wasn't because we
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: weren't trying. It was because we weren't able to hit it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: So we have to go back to.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: The drawing board.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: I find that really interesting. And he had said, you know,
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: they had some pretty good concepts. And this coming Saturday,
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: is it Charlie Weiss Jr. they're about to fix?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Along with Lane Kiffin.
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: And Lane Kiffin.
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: You better be ready for anything.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: So they have to get that fixed. I was just,
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: that's very surprising to hear.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: You know, in a 7-7 game, you get the ball
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: with 159 left. Because they took the touchdown.
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: Timeout right before the two-minute warning, and then they scored
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: on that first play. So it's 159, you got three timeouts.
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: And they run Reuben three times. And then they fail
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: to do anything down there.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: And they have to punt.
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: But the play calling on that last drive, when you're
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: going in to try to take a lead at the half,
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: you want that momentum. And I'm like, okay, if A
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: & M can get a field goal here, they'll go
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: into the half with feeling good. But then the first
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: two plays of that drive where Reuben runs, and then
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: they didn't use the timeouts.
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: I'm like, who is coaching this team?
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: I don't understand. Well, go back to what he said
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: at the beginning of the year before the season started.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: His coordinators would be judged by what happened on Saturday.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: He said, I wouldn't have promoted these people if I
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: didn't think they could do the job. And both coordinators
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: lost big time against Kentucky's coordinators. When you've got a
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: 36-year-old– I was mesmerized by whatever Kentucky called on offense,
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: how much time Minchie had to throw, and then the
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: guy was open. I mean, it was just pitch and catch.
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: He only threw 18 passes, but he completed 14 of them.
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: And it was just.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: And that freshman receiver just totally drops that touchdown.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: I think he was just getting ready to think, how
• 9:11
  Speaker 7: am I going to celebrate this touchdown?
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: I mean, that ball is perfect. Yeah. And he dropped it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 10: All alone.
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: And that could come back to haunt you.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: But no, he catches.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: Two great catches. Yeah, he does. He came back and
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: he toned for it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 7: He goes, I'll be open again. And he was.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: He's an impressive looking freshman.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: Guys, we've been in the business a long time. And
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: I tell a lot of people, I'm sitting up doing
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: this for like five decades. And I just didn't see
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: that coming. And I was mesmerized. Like, okay, it's going
• 9:37
  Speaker 7: to change.
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: Okay. It's going to change.
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: Never changed. And they were, I think Kentucky almost circled
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: the wagons too soon, but they didn't. They just gave
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: A & M two touchdowns because it didn't matter. I mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: they weren't trying to screw up.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: So we as sports fans have a tendency to overreact.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's overreaction Monday.
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: But here's the issue, and I understand the battered Aggie.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Syndrome because we've seen it so often.
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: So the one thing we didn't want to see from
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: this team was a significant step backwards from where they were.
• 10:11
  Speaker 9: And right now, I have a hard time envisioning this
• 10:14
  Speaker 9: team being anything.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: More than 8-4. I mean, maybe they can.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: Anything can happen.
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: But that's a significant step back from the playoffs to 8-4.
• 10:25
  Speaker 8: Would it change your mind if they went to Baton
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: Rouge on one Saturday?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it would change my mind.
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: But I don't expect it now because of the way
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: they played and the way Marcel seems.
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: To have so little confidence.
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: I don't.
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: Think that team has much confidence in him either i
• 10:41
  Speaker 9: don't i don't think that offense believes he's the same
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: guy who's.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Going to deliver him the football who's going to.
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: Make the right decisions make the right passes i wouldn't
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: have confidence in him if i was one of the
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: receivers because he's thrown so many at at the guys's
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: feet it's just to me it's.
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: Got to be wearing on some of those guys.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, the baseball reference, what do we always say?
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: You're only as good as your starting pitcher the next night.
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: And I firmly believe the way college football is with
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: the transfer portals and whatever, it's like week to week.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Kentucky came here with 13 transfer portal guys starting. They
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: came in a hostile 105,000 people, new coach.
• 11:25
  Speaker 9: They're spending $ 23 million as opposed to $ 40- something million.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: By the way, this coach may be pretty good because
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: when you look at how bad Oregon's offense has been
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: since he left.
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: I'm with you.
• 11:35
  Speaker 6: Good point.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: I'm with you.
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: And how good that offense looked on Saturday. You're going, hey,
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: maybe this guy can coach.
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: He said we're going to be good because of me.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: He did. You can see his team has confidence in him.
• 11:47
  Speaker 7: When you saw the replay of the touchdown with the
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: tight ends, he, like Colin Kline, likes to use two
• 11:53
  Speaker 7: and three tight ends. They had double tight ends. They
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: flopped to the right side. That play, he was open.
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: They have two tight ends on the left. So the
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: one fakes like he's blocking somebody. He goes out and
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: he's wide open. You go like, oh my gosh. I
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: know it was only like for seven yards.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Apparently they were in the same play against Alabama for
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: big yards.
• 12:16
  Speaker 7: But my point being is little things like that. And
• 12:19
  Speaker 7: Kentucky's doing that. And once again, there's so much tape
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: out there. And I'm glad I finally heard about why
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Ole Miss went for two points.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: But my point being is it's a new guy's game.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: Was there an injury to the kicker? I didn't hear that.
• 12:33
  Speaker 7: You've got to be constantly changing things.
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: And if you don't keep up with it, you're going
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: to get your clock clean.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: Golding's explanation was, while I'm thinking about it, he just
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: said we worked on it all week. He said the
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: other team is putting in the extra point block unit.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: He said if you run people to the line of
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: scrimmage– You may catch him having 12 on the field.
• 12:54
  Speaker 8: You may catch him with a snap. He said, we
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: worked on it.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: Take a timeout.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: Take a timeout. Cost him a timeout.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: All of this stuff happened. And they jumped twice.
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: And they jumped twice.
• 13:04
  Speaker 8: And he said, at that point, he said, when it
• 13:07
  Speaker 8: gets to.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: A yard and a half or less than a yard
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: and a half, he said, twice penalized him, he said,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: we're going to go because I don't want them coming
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: back and winning the game is how he put it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: He didn't say, what if we don't get it? He
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: never said that. He just said, the worst that we
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: could do is tie and go to overtime. After we've
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: worked that hard, we felt confident. We worked on it
• 13:29
  Speaker 5: all week. And so it wasn't, after listening to him,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: it wasn't one of those things spur of the moment,
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: just wild decisions that we see coaches make all the time.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: It had been thought through.
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: So I went back and I watched the game and
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: the announcers were shocked. that A & M actually snapped
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: the ball on that fourth down at their own 33.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: Correct.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: They were shocked.
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: They thought, okay, they're probably going to try to draw
• 13:56
  Speaker 9: these guys off.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: And then when they took the snap, they're like, oh,
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: my gosh.
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: It's like, they're going for it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: It's wide open.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: It was wide open. You're exactly right. All you've got
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: to do is lob that thing.
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's wide open.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: My wife says she could make that throw. I believe her.
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: But I think that A & M was a little panicky,
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: and they went back to, oh, they picked up the
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: fourth down against South Carolina last year in the second half,
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: and we can do it here. Didn't happen. And you
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: look at, you're right, you didn't hit the guy on
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: the little out pass, you know, the back. Fourth down.
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: They were further behind in that situation, though.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: But they had more time. So, yeah, I mean, it
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: was 21-7. And then when you don't get it, it's just,
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, you still got a full quarter. It's, it's,
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: there's two scores down. I just thought, man, that's, that's panicking.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: I think it's a pressure to make, yeah, to make
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: something happen.
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: I think they're panicking.
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: Cause you know, they didn't think they could lose that
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: game probably.
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: No, you're probably right. And they probably rolled out there
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: a lot overconfident.
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: And they probably said, this team is better than that
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: South Carolina team last year.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt.
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: They were, they were impressive. You know, I know A
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: & M helped them. They obviously helped them, but, but,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: They were impressive how they came into that environment and
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: just beat the crap out of A & M.
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: Especially when they ran the ball in the second half.
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: They did everything. They beat them up.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: As you mentioned earlier, they dominated the lines of scrimmage.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: They were hitting like crazy all over the field. They
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: were just– that was an impressive football team.
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: They kind of set the tone on the opening kickoff.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: They set the tone.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: Here's the deal is, it's like– and we cover– I
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: cover A & M, and you always know that weakness
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: is strong points, and it's easy to dump on them.
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: But I want to emphasize, I was totally impressed with Kentucky, too.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: Because if they play three or four more games like that,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: they'll win three or four more conference games. I mean,
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: they just played way too good.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: The problem with that is they ain't sneaking up on
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: anybody right now.
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: Correct.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: Because they were even with Alabama into the third quarter, right,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: and played them.
• 16:04
  Speaker 8: And we know Alabama's not. Alabama like they.
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: Used to be.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: But they're still pretty dang good. They hung a 50-burger
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: on Saturday. So they can still play. And I like
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: that young quarterback, by the way. I think he's going
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: to be special.
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: I do too. Menchie is really good. I like him.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: And Menchie's good. I was talking about the Alabama quarterback.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: I didn't think Menchie was worth a darn for a
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: part of the first quarter, and I'm going, this guy's slow.
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: He can't run, first of all, which is unusual in
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: this day and age to see a quarterback that can't run,
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: and he can't run.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: But you know what?
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: He didn't have to. He reminded me of the old
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: San Diego quarterback.
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: Dan Fouts? No.
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: That's not a bad one, but the other one that
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: had like 85 kids, and he came back out of
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: retirement for Indianapolis last year. I mean, he doesn't run.
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: He just sits back there.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, I know who you're talking about.
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: He reminded me. I go, this guy can't move. You
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: can't have a quarterback these days and not move and
• 17:02
  Speaker 7: not win. It's hard. You can with only 18 passes.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: They scored that many points, 31 points.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable. Yeah, it was just, again, that was a total,
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: total team domination. And they controlled both sides of the ball.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: And they just out-everythinged A & M. They out-coached them
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: and everything. So, yeah.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: You have a situation now. You've created a situation right now.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: This team had some hopes and dreams after being in
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: the playoffs last year. You're going to Baton Rouge and
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: you know two losses. You're done. You ain't played for
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: the conference championship for sure. This is a circle the
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: wagons kind of game. For both teams. For both teams.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: It is circle the wagons. I would argue less for
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: Lane Kiffin I know what they expect.
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: I get that. But it's his first year, right?
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: And they don't want A & M again coming in
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: and embarrassing them like they embarrassed them last year.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: Last year, yeah.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: Now, there's probably not too many players left from that team.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: There are a few. Not the coach.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: The fans understand it, right? But it is a circle
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: the wagons moment.
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: And it's going to be very interesting to see.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: Because you know what LSU put into that game going
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: to Oxford, right? You know physically, mentally, emotionally, they've got
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: to be wiped out. Which, Cease, I think may be
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: one of the reasons why Ole Miss is a three-point
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: underdog going to Florida Saturday.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: It's tough to play back-to-back games like that. Oh, my gosh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: is it tough. Because you touched on it. There was
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: so much emotion in that Ole Miss-LSU game.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: That was way on the scale of way up there.
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: You know, but the cool thing about that is it
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: lived up to the hype. Yes, it did. It was
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: a very entertaining game.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: And it doesn't happen very often.
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: No, and when you thought it was 17 down, you know,
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: it was like, oh, well.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: And you're going, what is going on around here?
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: Right, right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: And then here comes Lane. I mean, they stormed back. Yep.
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Just the chippiness of the crowd.
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, everything about it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the chants.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: It was awesome.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: They were chanting something that was not very nice.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, you can't put that on your letterhead.
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: No, you can't.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: And what we can't get into is understand teams' emotions
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: or whatever. I think... LSU might take a breath because
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: they're over that and they said they're going back home.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: You could be right, Cease. But I don't know if
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: they will do that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: They could.
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: It wouldn't surprise me if they were flat. You know,
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Sam Lovett is a problem because as.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: He's physical. He's willing to throw himself around. That's for sure.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: I tell you, I know this is sacrilegious, but when
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: I'm watching him, he reminds me a little bit of
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Johnny Football.
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: In how he plays.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: Right. Right?
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: How he runs the ball.
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: How he competes.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Reckless.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: Reckless.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:54
  Speaker 8: Totally reckless. Now, that also includes throwing the football.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: Right? Because he can get some bad plays. But, you know,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: we saw him two years ago.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: He almost beat.
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: Texas in the quarterfinals.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: They came within.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Really close to beating now he had a pretty good
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: running back he was with but but that kid is
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: a competitor and you you better account for him on
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: every single play or he's gonna.
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: Beat you yeah it's like you said it's circle of
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: wagons but i don't have i don't have much confidence and.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Do they that's my question what what kind of confidence
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: will the team go into baton rouge with.
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah I mean, and they're going to have to prove
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: it on both sides of the ball.
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: They swaggered in last year, and I know this ain't
• 20:37
  Speaker 8: last year.
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: No.
• 20:38
  Speaker 7: It's different, way different.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: You know, by the way, Bussey being out for the
• 20:42
  Speaker 6: year is a blow. That's a hard blow.
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's a hard blow. Because you know what?
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: Not only on the field.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: But he's one of those off-the-field guys that you need
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: in your locker room.
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everybody raved about what kind of camp he had. Exactly.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: He was poised for a really good year. He was.
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: And everyone around him is so disappointed that this happened
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: to him.
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: Because he worked his tail off in the offseason.
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: You know, I heard the question, whoever asked, I guess
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: they asked Marcel right after the game about what he
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: went over and said to Busty. He went over and said,
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: I love you. I wonder how much of an impact
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: that had on his teammates. Right. I wondered that too, Rusty. Yeah.
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: Because that's a first play of the game.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: First play of the game, yeah. And it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't know what it would have been like,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: but it was obviously the air was out of the
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: balloon for the whole game, right? Right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 8: And I did wonder that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: Did that injury and watching him be taken off the
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: field just– and that question wasn't asked.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: I don't believe that's been asked.
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: I'm not making excuses, but I do know. It's a
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: good question.
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: I thought of that. It's a good question.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: Because it looked like the air went out of the balloon.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: Because I think he– based on what I heard– All
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: of his teammates really respected him.
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: That's what I'm saying. Small-time kid, good kid, everything like that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: I don't know before the game, I talked about C.J. Baxter,
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: the running back, who obviously loves to run against A
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: & M.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: There's always holes.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: But he's a shell of what he was when he
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: was recruited because of the injuries he's had. But he
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: was one of The guys in the locker room. And
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I thought about that when Texas traded him, basically.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Said, hey, we're going to upgrade.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Right. Right. And you go, okay, you can upgrade on
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: the field. And we see this with baseball trades all
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the time, Rusty. You've got to have those guys in
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: the locker room. And when you get rid of one
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: of those guys, you don't know what effect that's going
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: to have on a team.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Chemistry-wise.
• 22:52
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Because there's only a handful of them, right, that all
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: the players love.
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: And look up to.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: One of those high-character people, and you go, well, we upgraded.
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: I go, well, did you?
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, seriously.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: No, I agree.
• 23:07
  Speaker 7: You upgraded on the field, but did you upgrade?
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Right. Right? And I think that's a valid question to
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: ask about A & M last Saturday when Bussey went
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: down on the first play.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Of the game.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, because he was carted off there. It
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: was pretty obvious to most of those guys. He was done.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: One of my brain cells kicked in. Phillip Rivers. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: thought his physique was a little bit like Phillip Rivers.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: He's not going to run. That's been a while. Yeah,
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: it's been a while.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Not as long as Dan Fouts. I went way on back, yeah.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: At least we didn't say John Hadle.
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: That could be.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: Another one, too.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: That's true.
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: Going way back. People have no idea who we're talking about.
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: To Lance Allworth.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: George Blanda. Going to go back to the Raiders.
• 23:50
  Speaker 8: Is he still playing? I think we need a break.
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: I think we have to regroup.
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: This is the old guy show.
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: This is the old guy show.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: You're not going to get John Hadle and George Bland
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: anywhere else. You're just not going to get that. On
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: the same day you got Billy the Kid earlier.

  Speaker 8: It is the Writer's Roundtable for Monday.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: It's brought to you by Intech and First Financial Bank.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: Robert Sesson is here. Rusty Burson is here. It is
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: Overreaction Monday. And we love Overreaction Monday on college football.
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: That's what it's about. So I said this off mic.
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: We always have our best discussions off mic, unfortunately.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: But I would be really surprised if A & M
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: didn't go into Baton Rouge and play really hard and
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: really well Saturday night.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: I'm with you 100% because that's typically been the MO.
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: You look at Elko's, such a tough competitor. His team
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: reflects him. Talked about the leaders, Ratcliffe, what have you.
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: Maybe they did get shook up a little bit by
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: losing Baton Rouge. Busy, but then they'll have a week
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: to adjust. Apparently, they'll get their linebacker back this season.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: the way Elko was talking. Sanford played a little bit.
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: A little bit, yeah. And once again, all teams are
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: looking for a little window. The good news is they
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: got kicked off the horse pretty bad, but you can
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: get back on it if you have a good game
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: at LSU. That would change a.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: Lot of things. I like how it came back to
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Randy Travis' song, but I would have played Digging Up
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Bones since that's what we're doing right now. He's on
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: a roll.
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: He's on a roll.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: They've got to go to LSU and play better. I'd
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: be shocked. I'd be absolutely shocked if A & M
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: won the game. Now, I was shocked last week. So,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: I mean, not to say it can't happen.
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: It's college football, man.
• 30:21
  Speaker 6: I was shocked walking out of that stadium.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: And I was shocked because I left before third quarter,
• 30:26
  Speaker 9: and there was a lot of people with me.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, there were.
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: Well, it was hot, too.
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: It was hot.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Not only did you get beat badly, but it's hot.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: And then you're not doing anything. Like, that third quarter
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: was just disastrous.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: It was a disaster.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: And then you just.
• 30:39
  Speaker 9: Just punched you in the gut, and you just didn't
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: answer until it was too late.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: But I guarantee you, LSU knows you've got to put
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: a lot of pressure on Reed. He's hurt them the
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: last two times. So the number one matchup, Reed against
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: that defense, is going to be accented all week in practice.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: So it'll be interesting to see what LSU does. So
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: what's the status of the running backs now? Because to me,
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Owens just is not a home run threat. I mean,
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: he runs hard. He's just not a home run threat.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: I really like the freshman.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: I do too.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: He runs hard. He runs hard, and he just doesn't
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: get stopped.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: He's got another burst.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: And for whatever reason, like, oh, it's your fourth and one,
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: and you lose two feet. And you've not lost a
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: yard on any play. 14 plays, 13 plays. You get
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: down to your 14th play. That was a real downer.
• 31:27
  Speaker 11: Yep.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: And, you know, we always talk about baseball. Like, oh,
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: your base is loaded in the first inning. It's going
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: to come back to haunt your runners in scoring position.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: I don't think in these close games we look at
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: this enough on football. A & M, if they scored,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: you know, they almost lost the ball in the kickoff.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: If they went down and scored and took a 7-0 lead,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: who knows? And they marched the whole way down there.
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: But I didn't like the call where he lined the
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: guy up 85 yards behind the quarterback. Right. I had
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: esteem to fall down two feet short.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: I did not mind them going for the fourth down
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: early in the game like that. But then after you
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: fail to make the fourth down, I think you need
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: to like, okay, let's play a little bit more conservatively.
• 32:11
  Speaker 6: Let's do the right things.
• 32:12
  Speaker 9: And then Marcel, that interception, it was just like he
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: never saw the guy. I mean, it was just a
• 32:17
  Speaker 9: bad pass. That guy read that perfectly, just like a book.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: Perfectly.
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: And he made a nice play on it.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: He knew he was going to throw it there.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: He was there. Yeah.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: But once again, I've got it. You should have enough
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: faith in your running back to get a half yard.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: But you also have a mobile quarterback. Get them out
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: where you have an option. But once again, you've got
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: to make the play.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Well, I don't think he's– they're running the RPO. And
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: I don't think he's really doing that anymore. I don't
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: think he's reading.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: Doesn't seem to be.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: Like, you remember how.
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: Good he was two years ago– When he took over
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: at LSU, the thing he did so good was that
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: run pass option. And he would stick it in a
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: guy's gut and pull it at the last minute and keep.
• 32:59
  Speaker 9: And he doesn't seem to want to keep the ball anymore.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: On the RPO. I'm with you. So, I don't know.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: I'd like to see him, you know, I mean, obviously.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: I think they're going to tweak it. It'll be interesting
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: to see what they tweak. They've got to do something.
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: Because the offensive line, is it iffy or not? I
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: don't know. You can't pick up a yard on fourth
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: and one. You've got to change something.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: You know, I watched that. You mentioned the Cowboys and
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: the Redskins yesterday. And Jaden Daniels, before he got hurt,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: he was killing the Cowboys. Oh, yeah. I mean, he
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: was just killing them with his legs. And I'm not
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: saying Marcel can beat Jaden Daniels, but I mean.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: I mean, he runs well enough to.
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: He runs well enough that he can change the game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, no doubt.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: But I don't feel like he's doing that enough. Yeah.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: And I think he needs to do it more. From
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: what Elko said, he's not going to do it more.
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: Well, and, you know, to.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: Me it's kind of a delicate balance because, as he mentioned,
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: he ain't 230 pounds.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: You know, he's a buck 85.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: He ain't Lenore Sellers.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: He is not.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: You know, I mean, he's just he's not the Camario
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: guy from Mississippi State who's 240. You know, he's just
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: not that. So to me, you have to balance that.
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: You know how much you're going to run because, man,
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: you're going to get hit.
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, and obviously we've seen it in the NFL.
• 34:23
  Speaker 9: I mean, RG3 got hurt right away.
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: He did. Jaden Daniels, this is the second time he's
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: already gotten hurt running the football. So, I mean, it's
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: a wear and tear. It is. But it's one of
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: your best weapons.
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: No doubt.
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: And I'd like to see him more on the run
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: more often.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: I'm with you with Edwards and Baker at running back.
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: You know, both of them have looked, you know, we've
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: seen the potential there. Mm-hmm.
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: The burst that's there, right?
• 34:53
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 34:53
  Speaker 7: You touched on, you get him outside the pocket, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 7: you've got a first-round receiver out there that they've got
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: to contend with. You've got all the pieces. They have
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: an overabundance of tight ends that can catch the ball.
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: They're going to have to use them now with the
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: injuries that we've seen.
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: I would think so.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: You've got a lot of options. I liked getting Craver involved.
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: I like that he had 11 catches.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: 19 targets?
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: 19 targets. I know it's a lot, but hey, right now,
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: him and Horton are your guys, right? I mean, those
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: are the guys. So one of those, and Horton apparently
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: had nine targets.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: So 28 targets, and I.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Out of 49, so 28 of 49 attempts, and there
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: were a lot of attempts, obviously, in the fourth quarter
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: when you're behind, but 28 of 49, that's.
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: So did somebody ask him about Ashton Bethel-Roman?
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: They asked about all the injuries. He said they won't know. Yeah,
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: it said later in the week when they put up
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: the deal.
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: Did that say he's critical to get back now that
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: you've lost Buster?
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: He is, and he was playing so well.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: He ended the season well. He started the season well.
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: That.
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: That hurts.
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: But unfortunately.
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: I mean, losing those.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: Two guys, let's be honest.
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: That hurts.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Bethel Roman has been hurt almost every year.
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: A little bit.
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: Some guys have those injuries, unfortunately.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: They just seem to follow. That doesn't help.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah. And the Morrow kid, too. I mean, he must
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: be banged up, too. Same thing. Yeah. And he mentioned him, too.
• 36:28
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: So, yes, he is a weapon.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: They have weapons, but they have to be healthy.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, it doesn't help them sitting on the bench.
• 36:36
  Speaker 6: So.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: I think this team still has the talent. I think
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: they have the defensive talent. And I just I just
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: I want to go back to how interesting I was
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: with Elko's comments that we just never quite got it
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: in practice leading up to the game.
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: And, you know, that's an honest admission. It's also a
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: troubling admission, right?
• 37:01
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: That they couldn't figure out what they were about to see.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: And it was obvious, wasn't it?
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: They never figured out what they were looking at.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: No.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Here's the deal. That's from the mouth of one of
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: the best defensive coordinators of his time. Who admitted, this
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: is one of my worst games ever. Yeah, and that's
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: not good.
• 37:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, he's an upstanding guy. I mean, he
• 37:24
  Speaker 6: takes the blame.
• 37:25
  Speaker 8: I love that.
• 37:26
  Speaker 6: I do, too. But it is alarming that they weren't
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: ready for that game. You know what I mean? That's alarming.
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: But, again, were they or were they not ready?
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: You know, when you look at 7-7 at the halftime,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: you can say, well, they should have.
• 37:41
  Speaker 8: And, see, you mentioned it. ran up and down the field,
• 37:44
  Speaker 8: had nothing to show for it.
• 37:46
  Speaker 5: So they're moving the ball early, right?
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: They're tied at the half.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: But Kentucky's feeling really good. Oh, they have to be.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: You're darn right. Listen, we missed the field goal, we
• 37:57
  Speaker 6: dropped touchdown pass, and we're tied.
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, there's no doubt about that.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: We're the number nine team in the country in their place.
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: And we get the ball to start. Hey, I'm not
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: offering any excuses. I'm explaining, but I'm not offering any excuses.
• 38:09
  Speaker 7: There aren't any excuses.
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: You cannot, if.
• 38:11
  Speaker 5: You have designs on going to the college football playoff,
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: you cannot lose to Kentucky at home ever.
• 38:18
  Speaker 9: And it reminds me of, unfortunately, it reminds me of
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: all the times that Jimbo and someone and all these
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: guys lost to Mississippi State or at home.
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: Or back in those days, Ole Miss, same thing.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: Before Ole Miss got really good. And so those are
• 38:34
  Speaker 6: the games you can't lose.
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: And it's more important now in this era of the
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: college football playoff because once you're out of the playoff,
• 38:43
  Speaker 9: no one cares anymore.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: True.
• 38:45
  Speaker 6: They don't care about a bowl game.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: You lose four games.
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 38:49
  Speaker 6: I don't care anymore. Yes. Move on to Buckyball.
• 38:52
  Speaker 8: And I don't like that either. I want people caring so.
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: They're listening to us.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: But that's the reality.
• 38:57
  Speaker 8: No, no, you're right.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: It's made pro sports. If you're not in the playoffs.
• 39:01
  Speaker 6: You're right.
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: You've lost.
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: You've lost. Your fan base doesn't care anymore.
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's correct. And that's why they'll go.
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: Why am I still interested in the Rangers? Because they
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: can make the playoffs.
• 39:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, even though they're terrible.
• 39:11
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: And that's why they'll go to 16-team playoff, maybe even 24.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: Because college football, you've got to be alive for people
• 39:18
  Speaker 7: to turn the TV on, to pay the exorbitant money,
• 39:21
  Speaker 7: to pay all the NIL money, the collectives. I don't
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: want to go to the Houston Bowl. If A &
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: M loses this week, for example, a lot of people
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: are going to.
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: How about the Liberty?
• 39:30
  Speaker 6: About the Liberty Bowl? No, I do not.
• 39:31
  Speaker 8: Okay, I just thought I'd throw that in. A lot
• 39:33
  Speaker 8: of people are going to jump off the board.
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: Not the Street War Bowl either.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: It's the way it is.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: No Weed Eater Bowl?
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: No.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: Okay, I just checked it. But I go back to
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: what Chip was saying. You think about it at halftime
• 39:44
  Speaker 7: in the past. Elko usually, teams cannot dominate the third quarter.
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: So they're thinking, okay, we should have scored. They dropped
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: a touchdown pass. We still have them right where we
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: want them. And I'm not saying they did, but you
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: wouldn't blame them if they had that attitude.
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: Right, because we saw it against South Carolina, right?
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: We've seen a lot of times where they've been much
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: better in the second half.
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: This year they played better in the second half against
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: Arizona State. They played better against even Missouri State. And
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: so why wouldn't they think, oh, we got this.
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: And they came back and just dominated LSU in the
• 40:16
  Speaker 6: second half last year. Yes.
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: They thought they had it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 6: They didn't. No, they did not. And that was my
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: expectation at the half. My kids were just, like, fired up.
• 40:25
  Speaker 9: And you're going, hey, hey, settle down. What I said is, like,
• 40:29
  Speaker 9: they were even with Alabama last week. Alabama came back
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: and ran away from them. A & M' s about to
• 40:34
  Speaker 9: come back and run away from them.
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: And then first drive, boom, boom, boom, touchdown. I'm like, geez,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: maybe not.
• 40:41
  Speaker 7: Getting back to what Chip's saying, which was very good honesty,
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: if you ask maybe a Sumlin or– in the same
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: situation as Jimbo, like, oh, that wasn't the case.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: We were okay.
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, they would just slough it off. No, Elko's
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: saying they never adjusted to that. They had a problem
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: all week.
• 40:57
  Speaker 9: Well, and again, I understand the BAS, the battered ice
• 41:00
  Speaker 9: in there, because we saw A & M had one
• 41:03
  Speaker 9: good season under Mike Sherman. They had one really good
• 41:06
  Speaker 9: season under Kevin Stubman, one really good season.
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: Under Jimbo Fisher. And you're going, oh, no, is this–
• 41:13
  Speaker 6: Did we already see the one good season?
• 41:15
  Speaker 9: I'm not giving up on Elka, but I understand the
• 41:17
  Speaker 9: fan base overreacting because that was just so unexpected.
• 41:21
  Speaker 6: And you know what?
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: That's why he's been here before. And he's talked to
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: Elk several times leading in this season.
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: Yes, he has.
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: We need to have back-to-back this season because he knows
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: the Aggies. Yes, he has. He knew that.
• 41:32
  Speaker 6: He does.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: And he prepared his team mentally like, we need to
• 41:35
  Speaker 7: get it done.
• 41:36
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: He didn't want to hear about five road games.
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: Right, right.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: Exactly.
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: Worst possible thing, you lose your first home game. You've
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: got to protect the home court. And they didn't do it. Okay, boys.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: You said all you want to say about this game.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: We'll move on to the rest of college football when
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: we come back. The Rangers report is brought to you
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: by Schulte Roofing and the Decker Financial Group.
• 42:00
  Speaker 10: It was after a hailstorm a few years back. I
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: needed a new roof. Yeah, I shopped around, and then
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: I found Schulte Roofing, and boy, I'm glad I did.
• 42:07
  Speaker 10: The folks at Schulte guided me every step of the way.
• 42:10
  Speaker 10: They showed me my options. They told me what my
• 42:12
  Speaker 10: out-of-pocket cost would be after insurance. They took the complication
• 42:16
  Speaker 10: out of an otherwise very stressful situation. They took off
• 42:19
  Speaker 10: the damaged roof, put on the new roof, did all
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: the cleanup, and I had my new roof in one day.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: Schulte Roofing, the home of the bulletproof roofing.
• 42:31
  Speaker 17: I'm Jett Nelson with your Texas Rangers report. Texas holds
• 42:34

• 42:37
  Speaker 17: to the Blue Jays. Details coming up.
• 42:39
  Speaker 18: When the work is demanding, you need equipment you can
• 42:41
  Speaker 18: count on and a partner who stands behind it. That's

• 43:09
  Speaker 17: The Texas Rangers couldn't complete the sweep as the Toronto
• 43:12
  Speaker 17: Blue Jays got the win in Arlington yesterday, that final
• 43:14
  Speaker 17: score 7-2. Toronto's offense scored early and often with a
• 43:18
  Speaker 17: sack fly to get things started in the first, followed
• 43:20
  Speaker 17: by an RBI double in the third. Texas got their
• 43:23
  Speaker 17: two runs off of this big swing for Jake Berger.
• 43:26
  Speaker 19: And here's the pitch and that's it high and deep
• 43:28
  Speaker 19: to left center field. Way back goes Bateman. He's at
• 43:32
  Speaker 19: the wall. That ball is history. Bateman might have gotten
• 43:36
  Speaker 19: a glove on it, but it wound up in the
• 43:38
  Speaker 19: Blue Jays bullpen. This game is tied to two on
• 43:43
  Speaker 19: a towering home run by Jake Berger.
• 43:46
  Speaker 17: The Blue Jays took over in the fifth with an
• 43:48
  Speaker 17: RBI singled, followed by four runs in the seventh to
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: keep Texas out of reach. Texas remains in first for
• 43:53
  Speaker 17: the AL West as they host the Mets for a
• 43:55
  Speaker 17: three-game series starting tomorrow night. With your Texas Rangers report,

  Speaker 16: Last night I took your picture out from my old
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: desert drawer.
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: Rusty. I set it on the table.
• 44:43
  Speaker 8: Digging up bones just for you.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: Thank you. That's awesome.
• 44:47
  Speaker 7: Just for you. He speaks, the world listens.
• 44:52
  Speaker 6: I don't think anybody else listens to me, but I
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: appreciate you.
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: Thoughts from this last weekend?
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: We mentioned a little LSU, Ole Miss.
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: How about the Vandy finish?
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: Talk about coaching, Chip.
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 45:07
  Speaker 8: What happened?
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: And then, the coach throws the quarterback under the bus.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: And I'm going, come on, man. Are you kidding me?
• 45:20
  Speaker 8: That's his fault?
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: You don't tell him to kneel down with three seconds
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: or whatever's left.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: You don't tell him.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: After you take the snap, just run out of the
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: back of the end zone. If you think you're going
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: to take a safety, first of all, I don't know
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: why they're doing that.
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: Just run it out. And then, well, I can't hold
• 45:41
  Speaker 8: on to the ball for him. That guy would be,
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: if I'm the AD, he'd be in my office the
• 45:47
  Speaker 8: next day.
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: I told you guys last week that I was a
• 45:49
  Speaker 6: punter in high school. Yeah. And so we're playing a team,
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: and it was similar situations, late in the game, and
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: I'm punting. The coach calls timeout and goes, here's what
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: we're going to do.
• 45:58
  Speaker 9: I need you to run to the back of the
• 46:00
  Speaker 9: end zone as fast as you can.
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: And don't run out of bounds. Don't run out of bounds.
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: Because they're not going to know what you're doing.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: But then just run out. Yeah. And that was the
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: most nervous I think I've ever been. I was like,
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: do not trip. That's your running back.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: Don't drop the ball.
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: Don't drop the ball. Yeah, this is like, oh, my gosh. Oh.
• 46:20
  Speaker 7: It's basic high school football.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: Right, right. And I said, you know.
• 46:24
  Speaker 9: But do you remember when Baylor played UNLV and they're
• 46:27
  Speaker 9: up and they're running back fumbled?
• 46:29
  Speaker 8: And what was the coach's explanation?
• 46:31
  Speaker 6: They were trying to score again. I don't know. I mean,
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: wasn't that Chuck Reedy?
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: Was it Chuck Reedy?
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: Who was the shower with your sister guy?
• 46:41
  Speaker 6: Who was that coach?
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: It was, who was it?
• 46:45
  Speaker 6: I think it was Chuck Reedy.
• 46:47
  Speaker 8: No, I don't think it was Chuck Reedy.
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, no.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: It was the other one.
• 46:50
  Speaker 7: What was the guy's name?
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: Somebody will call in.
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: I know they know his name. Get the list of
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: Baylor coaches, Rusty.
• 46:58
  Speaker 6: I'm looking it up.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay.
• 46:59
  Speaker 7: Look it up.
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: Rusty will look it up.
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: I'm not worried.
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: Pete Golding, who I had questions, because I didn't pick
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Ole Miss, and they're like the top three going in.
• 47:10
  Speaker 8: But Pete Golding has now faced five top 25 teams.
• 47:13
  Speaker 6: It was Kevin Steele.
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: Kevin Steele, yes. It was Kevin Steele.
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: Chuck Reedy did Dave Roberts.
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: No, who was before Kevin Steele then?
• 47:23
  Speaker 6: Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: I think it was Steele.
• 47:25
  Speaker 7: Guy Morris?
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: Guy Morris!
• 47:27
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 47:28
  Speaker 7: I thought it was Guy Morris.
• 47:29
  Speaker 5: Guy Morris is the showering with your sister guy. I'll
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: never forget asking him about that quote.
• 47:36
  Speaker 7: I think Steele was the fumble.
• 47:37
  Speaker 6: Steele was the fumble.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: You're trying to tell me that autographed Baylor helmet I
• 47:44
  Speaker 9: have by Kevin Steele is not worth anything?
• 47:46
  Speaker 6: I've got an autographed Franz helmet I can give to you, though.
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: You can try. Pete Golding's face.
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: Five top 25 teams in the first six games he's
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: coached at Ole Miss.
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: One of three of them.
• 47:57
  Speaker 7: He's four and one.
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: Four and one. Wow.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: How about that?
• 48:01
  Speaker 6: Well, he's three.
• 48:04
  Speaker 8: He's two and one against top ten teams.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: That's pretty good. Not a bad hire.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: That's pretty good.
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: That's better than Lane. That's really good.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: It's better than late. I thought the SMU, I didn't
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: get to see it.
• 48:15
  Speaker 8: That was entertaining. I knew it would be entertaining.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: I tell you, I've seen some really good football teams,
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: and they've lost games. But SMU, I thought Louisville was
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: a good team when we saw them, especially the second half.
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: I tell you, that was a very entertaining game, and
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: those are.
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: Good football teams. And one of them ain't going to
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: make the playoffs. No, it's a shame. They're just not.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Miami's going to, and now as long as Louisville holds on,
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: they're going to.
• 48:46
  Speaker 7: I think Texas Tech's not as good as people think.
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: Well, I tell you what. I tell you who's good.
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: That's Houston.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: Now, I picked Tech because they were in Lubbock, and
• 48:55
  Speaker 5: I was regretting that pick when I watched the first
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: part of that game. I shouldn't doubt Willie Fritz. He's
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: a heck of a football coach. And I think Houston
• 49:05
  Speaker 5: is a good football team. I know Utah and BYU
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: are right there. And Arizona State, to me, is kind
• 49:14
  Speaker 5: of on the fringe of that.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: But, man, Tech played okay. They weren't great, but they
• 49:22
  Speaker 8: did okay at home.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: Both of those teams have lines of scrimmage, which kind
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: of surprised me on both sides of the ball. I
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: thought that was a really entertaining football game. Those two
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: games that you mentioned, Cease, and both of those losing teams,
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: SMU and Houston, They're good football teams.
• 49:41
  Speaker 6: I think A & M' s pretty lucky. They don't have
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: to play Mississippi or Mississippi State. Oh, I agree. State
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: of Mississippi's pretty good.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: They are pretty good.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: Mississippi State's a lot better than I thought they were.
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: I got to tell you, I'm looking at this Tennessee-Texas
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: game on Saturday.
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: Okay. Yeah.
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: I'm underwhelmed right now.
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: I got UT in this one. Yeah.
• 50:04
  Speaker 8: I got the team in orange.
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 50:07
  Speaker 7: I'm underwhelmed.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: By Arch Manning especially.
• 50:12
  Speaker 5: You were talking about Marcel not being accurate.
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: And the numbers just speak for themselves. Okay, you can't,
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: those aren't.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: Going to lie. His passing percentage is not good. And
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: he is still missing passes, open receivers.
• 50:35
  Speaker 8: And he had time. Last year he didn't for the
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: first half.
• 50:38
  Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: He's got time. I saw a stat this weekend. He's
• 50:41
  Speaker 5: got the second most time right now in the SEC
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: in the pocket. Wow.
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: He's got a clutch factor to him, though.
• 50:47
  Speaker 7: Well, he does.
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: I'm not piling on.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying I'd be a little concerned about him
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: spraying the ball still.
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: I get it.
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: But when you go back to the second half against
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: Texas A & M and the fourth quarter against Ohio State. Yeah, yeah.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: He's pretty good. Oh, I'm not saying he's not.
• 51:06
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying there's a little issue there. And playing
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: at Sark, and I know it's because he's playing there.
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: I get that.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: He called it the loudest stadium he's ever played in
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: is Neyland Stadium.
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: He said the crowd is that loud there.
• 51:23
  Speaker 6: They throw stuff at you, too, kind of like Texas.
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: And Arkansas and LSU.
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: I haven't been on their fans.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: Did I hear booze on Saturday?
• 51:33
  Speaker 16: You did.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: You did. Okay. After the fourth down play, Calfield was booing.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 51:39
  Speaker 6: I may have been leading that.
• 51:40
  Speaker 7: I think another fan base that's got to be upset
• 51:44
  Speaker 7: is Oklahoma.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: When you beat New Mexico 14-6.
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: And by the way, I'm the only one crazy enough
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: to watch some of them.
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: I was flipping.
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: But New Mexico, they could have it.
• 51:59
  Speaker 7: Maybe you could make an argument. Should have won that game.
• 52:02
  Speaker 18: Is that right?
• 52:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Wow.
• 52:03
  Speaker 7: Oklahoma's like, Here's the football.
• 52:06
  Speaker 8: We're giving it to you. You go win the game.
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: Go to the back of the end zone.
• 52:12
  Speaker 6: No, no, thanks. We're just not good enough. It's like
• 52:14
  Speaker 6: SMU playing Florida State. Yes. SMU is trying to give
• 52:17
  Speaker 6: them the game.
• 52:18
  Speaker 8: Same kind of situation. Same kind of situation.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: Florida State just refused to take it, man.
• 52:22
  Speaker 8: Same kind of situation.
• 52:24
  Speaker 7: And Oklahoma just gave him an extension.
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: Did you see the rumors at Florida State?
• 52:29
  Speaker 19: Oh, yeah.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: Jimbo.
• 52:30
  Speaker 19: No.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: Jimbo. Yeah. You know what?
• 52:35
  Speaker 7: Let them have it.
• 52:35
  Speaker 6: Let them have it. Right?
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: They get them cheap, and they can put their money
• 52:39
  Speaker 7: in the NIL then. Well, I tell you, sometimes, sometimes.
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: They get paid by A & M for the next
• 52:45
  Speaker 6: 10 years.
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: Like Florida, they've changed coaches, and so far that's worked
• 52:50
  Speaker 5: out well for them. We've got a long way to
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: go here. We're not that deep. We're three games into this,
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: and we're just starting the league play.
• 52:59
  Speaker 19: I understand.
• 52:59
  Speaker 6: I understand.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: We've got a long way to go. But Florida's trending up.
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: There's no doubt about it.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: And they've got the best running back now that Keywon
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: Lacey is out.
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: They've got the best running back in college football.
• 53:11
  Speaker 7: Oklahoma, South Carolina, and A & M are trending down?
• 53:14
  Speaker 7: They're trending down for sure.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: You know, I watched some of that Baylor-Auburn game.
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: I was surprised.
• 53:20
  Speaker 9: That Auburn played Florida that closely.
• 53:23
  Speaker 6: Me too. Because I thought Auburn was kind of awful
• 53:26
  Speaker 6: against Baylor. Correct.
• 53:28
  Speaker 8: I don't know that Florida's great.
• 53:31
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 53:32
  Speaker 6: Like you said, it's early.
• 53:33
  Speaker 7: It's early?
• 53:35
  Speaker 6: Every week's full of surprises, right?
• 53:37
  Speaker 7: Every week is full of surprises. But they're playing so
• 53:40
  Speaker 7: many SEC games right now. It means so much. We're
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: going to know real quick how good is Tennessee.
• 53:45
  Speaker 6: Florida put it on Portland State, didn't they?
• 53:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, I heard that score. I go, give me a break.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: That was almost like SMU.
• 53:53
  Speaker 8: They were making up for the Oklahoma State game, I guess.
• 53:55
  Speaker 18: I guess.
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: That was almost like Houston-like when they played SMU.
• 53:58
  Speaker 7: Did Oklahoma State play this week?
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: They did. What did they do? They won.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: They played at directional school, I know. I don't think
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: Alabama is eighth right now.
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: I will say that.
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: But who is?
• 54:12
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, see. Like Indiana hasn't played anybody.
• 54:15
  Speaker 8: Indiana has not played anybody.
• 54:17
  Speaker 7: Notre Dame really hasn't played anybody.
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: 59-0 is Murray State. Okay.
• 54:23
  Speaker 8: Did you see Colorado get blown out by Northwestern? USC
• 54:26
  Speaker 8: came very close to losing to Rutgers.
• 54:28
  Speaker 7: You talk about stats. I saw a stat. I think
• 54:31
  Speaker 7: of all the Power Four Conference teams, Notre Dame and
• 54:35
  Speaker 7: somebody else does not have a 20-yard run. That there
• 54:39
  Speaker 7: is concern about Notre Dame because they can't run the
• 54:43
  Speaker 7: ball and Carr hasn't been as.
• 54:44
  Speaker 8: Good as people think.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, Texas ain't running the ball great.
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: Their offense, to me, hadn't looked great. Except for the
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: fourth quarter against Ohio State.
• 54:53
  Speaker 7: I like the fact that the college football committee doesn't
• 54:56
  Speaker 7: come out until whenever it is.
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: There's not enough games.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: There's not enough games. I'm just telling you the teams
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: I've seen play, right? And if I'm voting, I'm voting
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: just on what I've seen.
• 55:06
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: And I do think some teams should be rewarded for
• 55:10
  Speaker 5: playing games, right? I wouldn't drop Ohio State down like that.
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: You know, I think some teams... that a play game
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: should be rewarded. Are we going to reward them or
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: are we not? Guys, we're done for the day.
• 55:22
  Speaker 6: That was fast.
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: Didn't expect to have this conversation this week. We'll see
• 55:27
  Speaker 5: what happens next week.
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: Didn't expect to mention Hadle either.
