  Also find him at Landry football on X. Let me mute that right
• 0:09
  there. All right, Chris, let's go back into the SEC. I
• 0:12
  know we've talked about it a little bit, but I want to go back
• 0:14
  to Auburn. I can't figure out what they are this year. They have
• 0:18
  ball games against obviously Oklahoma, Missouri, George and Alabama. Year two,
• 0:22
  if you freeze recruiting wise, it looks like they've done a nice job on
• 0:26
  the recruiting front. They're gonna stick with Peyton Thorne, who came came in
• 0:29
  over from Michigan State in the transfer portal. Year two. If you freeze,
• 0:33
  what does that do for you? And kind of where you slot this
• 0:36
  Auburn team just kind of down the road. I agree with you, recruiting
• 0:40
  has been pretty good, but I don't know that it's been like different to
• 0:44
  making. You know, I do worry about the quarterback positions and how that's
• 0:49
  going to play out, And you know, I think, you know,
• 0:51
  once you get into this second year and the expectations are going to be a
• 0:56
  little bit higher, that don't like how they match up against the life of
• 1:00
  Georgia, and you know, I have to be interesting to see because he
• 1:04
  played Alabama well, had a beat obviously last year, and but but that's
• 1:07
  certainly you know, I think if you get into that, you know,
• 1:11
  four off area and Oklahoma's going to be challenging. I think they're going to
• 1:15
  get starting to get a little frustrated. And I just don't know that the
• 1:19
  talent level is quite what I hoped at this point. But it is still
• 1:23
  early. But I'm monitoring how the recruiting is going to go going forward,
• 1:30
  because in order to compete at this level, you better compete with the very
• 1:34
  top of the league. As we just talked about last segment. It's not
• 1:38
  just about well, okay, we're in the West and with this you better.
• 1:42
  You played Georgia every year, of course, so you always recruit against
• 1:45
  them geographically. But I don't see how Auburn as on the same level of
• 1:49
  Georgia in Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, I mean talent wise, So I'm
• 1:57
  without that. I mean, you can be a great coach, but they
• 2:00
  can only take you so far. It's about players first and foremost.
