Set 1: Drink the Tears of Ole Miss (w/T-Bob) · Stugotz and Company

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: And there's Dan Lanning out there because no one can
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: yell at him. There is Lanning out on the field,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: not focused on the opponent, not focused on his team,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: not focused on the game. He is focused on making
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee laugh.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Enough.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Terrible.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Terrible job by Lanning.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Dan Lanning is the Nick Saban of Mike Norvell's.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Who the hell is Dan Lanning?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: Could at least give us Ben Johnson might be the
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: greatest coach ever.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: Uh, no.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: It's knock if you agree with me.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Give me the frozen tundra.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I know we're doing overreaction Mondays.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: I would still be surprised. And it's Tuesday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: You got nothing right there.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: It's time to get your pint.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Tomato, tomato.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: There is no worse surprise than surprise Gouda.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I felt so bad for Arch Manning playing so poorly.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I was saying to myself, he doesn't have it. He's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: not a Manny.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Everyone is a fraud.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: This is Steve Spurrier, former Gator head ball coach, and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: you've been listening to Stugatz and Company. Everyone is a fraud.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Surprise Gouda.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Surprise Gouda is going to make me laugh
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: every time. I got to tell you, we did not
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: give Steve Spurrier, the old ball coach, I wish we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: had that in the open. We did not give him
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: enough credit for landing a 14 parlay.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a 14 parlay plus 277. Good hit
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: by the old ball coach.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: A great hit. We're going to have T-Bob here in
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: just a minute. We're going to have Bomani Jones at
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: set number two. We have an update on Mikey's bowling team.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Taylor softball season has started again. Again, T Bob going
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to join us. We'll talk LSU, Mississippi. He played at LSU.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to speak to T Bob. What happened
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: with your softball league? What's going on? It started again.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Basically what happened with our softball team, Stu.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We got rid of all of the bad players on
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: our softball team. And we kept all the good ones.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: So we've dropped Izzy Gutierrez from our softball team.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: That's too bad. And by the way, I want to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: remind the audience or tell the audience that Israel Gutierrez
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: will be back with us on Friday. Anyway, keep going here.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You dropped Izzy. Poor you.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: We dropped Izzy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Poor Izzy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: What am I talking about?
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: We dropped Izzy and we kept all of Izzy's friends.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: So I do feel a little bit bad because I
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: don't think Izzy would have played.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: But we almost didn't even give him the option of
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: joining the softball team.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And now me and my former roommate Ian are some
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: of the worst players on the team.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: And when me and Ian are some of the worst
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: players on the team, boy, can that team compete? And
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: we've run ruled this team.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I think Izzy's probably pretty happy that you guys didn't
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: call him. Just a guess, you know?
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but there's a little bit of left out feeling
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: when he sees the team's roster.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: And it's all of his friends.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, but his friends are good at softball and he's not.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And now he'll remain hitless for the remainder of time.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Izzy just wants to meet you guys afterwards for drinks.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Something you would never do, Taylor. And he got so
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: upset about it.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: So also the softball league is on Monday nights, Mikey.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: And when I signed up for it, it sounded good
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: at the time. Signing up for Monday night football softball.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: It is a disaster because I'm like DVR in the game.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: But then the second the game ends, somebody's like, Hey,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: did you see the chiefs are tied seven, seven and
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Patrick Holmes at a rushing touchdown? I'm like, okay, well,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I don't need to go back and watch what I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: just DVR.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Had you known it was Monday night, would you have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: still agreed to be in the league?
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: If I remembered that it was Monday night football?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Probably not. I probably would have looked for like a
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Tuesday or a Wednesday league. I could give up Mac football.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Can you? I mean, imagine.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Well, that way, if I DVR a Mac game, nobody's
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: spoiling that Mac game when I'm walking off the softball field.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: But when you're leaving a Monday night. Everybody wants to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: talk Chiefs and Broncos.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Congratulations to Israel Gutierrez for being left off the roster.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He wants nothing to do with that dreadful softball team.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: As Mikey said, just wants to meet you for wings
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and a couple of beers after the game to watch
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Monday Night Football. Mikey is in a bowling league, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we discussed this a couple of weeks ago. He has
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: one of those guys in his bowling league, a guy
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that is so good-looking that he just steals the room.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Every room he walks into, the room has been stolen
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: by his looks.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And so that was my room. Yeah.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: And so the bowling alley was Mikey's room. And Mikey
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: started a bowling league, a bowling team. And one of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the guys on his team is so good looking, not
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: good at bowling, just good looking that he steals the
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: show every time. If he leaves like a 7-10 split,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: everyone cheers for him. Mikey's rolling strikes and no one
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: says a word.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: So two quick updates on that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: You said he wasn't that good at bowling. Stu, I
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: throw an odd ball when I bowl. I have an
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: odd thing I do. I don't use the thumb. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: flip it out there.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: It gets this big hook. It's a whole thing, right?
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: It's my thing, right?
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: This guy watched me last week, came in this week,
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: picked up a house ball, threw it exactly like I do.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: And he turned into one of the best bowlers I've
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: ever seen in my life.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: So now he has a good bowling game to go
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: along with his great looks.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Not just a good bowling game.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Like, he took the unique thing.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: It'd be like somebody watching Dontrell Willis' wind-up back in
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: the day and be like, oh, I could do that.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: And then just doing it without practicing, just dropping curveballs
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: and 100-mile-an-hour fastballs on the black.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I gotta see what this guy looks like all right
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: so do i get him on the show i would like.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: To close your eyes and picture the most handsome older
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: gentleman you've ever seen in your life that's the other
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: thing i thought he was like my age nope apparently
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: he's closer to stew gots his age but here's the
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: thing taylor here's the thing that like it just so
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: i'm i'm like hey he's on your team let's let's
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: try and let's try and make friends here let's try
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: and be Be nice to him.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: So I'm talking. So, yeah. How's how's this? You know, oh,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: do you have kids? Oh, you do.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: I got into the DEA thing after I was a
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: cop and that was after I left.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: The minor leagues.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, geez.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: I'm like, what?
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: He was like, oh, yeah, I was a minor league player.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: If I didn't hurt my back, I probably would have
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: made the majors. His friend pulls up his baseball card.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: He's got a freaking baseball card. He was some big prospect.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: He's so upset.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Mikey, can you– the next time you have bowling, can
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: you ask this guy for a team photo just so
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we can– so you don't have to ask him awkwardly
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: trying to sneak a photo. You say, hey, we're getting
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a team photo, and then that's just your avenue to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: take a photo to then show us what he looks like.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I don't want to. I don't want to because.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: No, but we need you to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: We need context.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Mikey, if I promise he won't replace you, can we
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: have him on the show?
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: You can't make that promise.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I believe you can try and make that promise right now.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I believe when you see him, I don't believe you
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: can make that promise.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: He's irresistible.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: On the topic of good looking, have you guys seen
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the Mets prospect, Mitch Voigt, who's gone viral because he
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: looks like an AI human being?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: What?
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I have not.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Google right now, Mets prospect, Mitch Voigt.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: He literally looks like you typed into AI. what does
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: a futuristic baseball player look like? And the best comparison
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: that I could come up with is it looks like
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: if Hallmark was doing a movie about Alex Rodriguez.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: He's not real. I'm looking at him right now.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: No, that's not real.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: If Hallmark was doing a movie about Alex Rodriguez, this
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: is who they would cast as young A-Rod.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Love on the diamond.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Not the place I thought we'd go with the Mets today,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but we'll get to that later. T-Bob is going to

  Speaker 1: us right now. I was talking to you last night for,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, five to ten seconds. You were headed
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to soccer practice with the kids. And I never heard back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: How'd soccer practice go?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It's a disaster. Second practice. First game was on Sunday.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: My three-year-old son is just... He's just a disaster.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He's three!
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: He doesn't listen to coaches. He's subbing himself out the game.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: On Sunday, he subbed himself out the game, just walked
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: off the field, turned his back to the coach so
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: he could throw his own ball against the wall and
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: catch it. He's a huge me guy, not nearly enough
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: of a we guy. It's pathetic. And I'm fighting everything
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: I have. Not to yell at him in the stands.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sitting there, Bobby, get the ball. Get
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: the ball. Go. Go play. Listen to your coach. My
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: wife the whole time is like, relax, relax. You're embarrassing me.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: You're embarrassing me. So I had to kind of keep it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I had to chill out a little bit. I had to.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: He's only three years old. Right, guys?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: He's only three.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: He's got to figure it out.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Give him time.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: No. No. No. The bottom line is. Well, the problem
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is he's spoiled. He doesn't listen to me in life. Right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Like he doesn't listen to me or his mother. He's
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: that classic last kid. He gets everything. It's a sleep
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: in our bed every night. He's just he kicks me.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: He comes in our bed.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And he makes me sleep at the foot of the
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: bed like a dog.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: He kicks me in the back until I go down
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to the foot and then he assumes my spot. Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: He told me the other day when we were going
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: to sleep, he said, you know what? I'm the dad.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Now I'm going to play with mom. I'm going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: drink coffee. I'm going to drive and you have to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: sit in the car seat.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: He's just way too big for his britches. And he
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: just got into britches. He was wearing diapers like four
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: months ago. Right.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I got to be honest. I love this kid.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I really do. Can we get him on to break
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: down Ole Miss LSU?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: He'll do it with confidence.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: He doesn't even know his ABCs. He refuses to count
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: to five. And yet he thinks he knows more than
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the coach. Yes. Get the hell out of here.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It's why I opted for coaching actually, because I was
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: away from my wife and coaching gives you a license
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: to yell at all the kids.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: You know, I know, I know I coached my daughter's soccer.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, to be honest now, I've got three seasons
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: under my belt as an assistant soccer, little league coach assistant,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but you know, the pink pandas back in Baton Rouge,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: we took from the worst team in the league to
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a championship threat and Um, my, my daughter's team last year,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: we rolled through everybody. I'm hands off for now, but
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: I may, I may have to, we'll see. Yeah. See
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: where this season goes. We got a lot to work on.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, enjoy the kid though. Wanting to sleep in the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: bed with you and mom. Enjoy that because I'm telling
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: you in 15 years, that kid is not going to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: want you in the house at all.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Period.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He'll be embarrassed. Yes.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: So it's funny because that's how he gets away with
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: it is because he's our last. Cause I got fixed.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: So we know there's nothing else coming down the pipeline.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Cause nothing's coming out of the pipes. I, um, like,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: like with the olders too, we were really adamant when
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: they would come in bed, like maybe every now and
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: then I'd bring it back all the time. But you know,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: they share a room too, which I think helps. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: so like, he's alone. And, and to your point, Stu, yeah,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: he's my last kid. Right. And you know what? This
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: whole idea of kids sleeping seven from the parents for
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: thousands of years, that was crazy. Like humans all, we
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: all slept together as a family unit on the ground
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: all together, cuddled up. So like. Sure, whatever. Who am
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I to tell him that he can't abide by his
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: natural genetic inclinations, giving thousands of years of human evolution?
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I'm fine with him sleeping between us. It makes me happy.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: I'm glad we worked that out. We talked it out there, T-Bob. Listen,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: is this the most excited you've been for a college
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: football game that you have not played in?
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's tough.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Because there's been some big ones, you know.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: There's been some big ones. 2019 had a bunch. Like
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: the 2019 Texas game to start the year. The 2019
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Alabama game in Tuscaloosa is a core memory. I remember
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: watching that with the neighborhood dads in a backyard. Crawfish
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: boil going on. Everybody going crazy. That was an unreal day.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: There's even like 24 Ole Miss. So it is... It's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: not number one with a bullet, but like all things
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: in life, I tend to funnel things into tiers. Right. Right.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: It's kind of an excuse to not have to like
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: choose number ones. Sure. And this is a tier one
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: fan college football.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Game without a doubt. All right. You're headed to the game.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yes. No, I'm not actually. Oh, really? My in-laws are
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: coming to town.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: I know. Wow. I know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: So I am going to be hanging out at the
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: house on Saturday. I love watching football with my father-in-law.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: We'll probably be drinking some Johnny Walker Black Label. I'll
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: hopefully pick up some heaters for some late night either
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: celebration or– desecration. But no, I'll be consuming all the
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: football remotely on Saturday.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, what is LSU walking into on Saturday in Oxford?
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Do we have any idea what that scene is going
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: to be like?
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Well, Lane does. He coached there.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I think that, so we've seen this. The Athletic had
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: a great piece yesterday where they looked at times in
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: college football where coaches have left for rival's. and then
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: had to come to homecomings. And it's a lot of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: legendary games. I mean, it's the old pine box game
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: with Tuberville where, you know, he's at Ole Miss. He says,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I'm not leaving for Auburn. Shit, you're going to have
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: to carry me out of here in a pine box, right?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: And then he leaves within the week. And then he
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: comes back that next year, record crowd, and Tuberville ends
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: up winning. And that's a theme that you saw in
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: that article was– When the guy comes back, it's a
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: record crowd. There's stuff thrown on the field. But in
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: all seven examples they cited, the coach making the return
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: ended up winning the game. But it's always in a
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: crazy environment. And what I would say is, like the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Japanese in World War II, the Japanese are like all
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: of us, only more so. This return is like the others,
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: only more so. So you ask me, what are they
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: walking into? I don't entirely know. Because we've never seen
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a situation like this. I do feel confident saying that
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: the players will never enter a more hostile environment in
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: their entire career. I don't care if it's college, NFL.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: There will be bigger stages. There will be bigger stakes.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And there will be bigger stakes personally, where maybe a
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: guy's trying to make a team in a preseason. That
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: will mean more to him. But you will never walk
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: into a fire with as much hatred and animus as
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: what is going to be in Oxford come this weekend.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: Can you try and explain, you're a player on LSU,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: you went there out of high school, you're like, hey,
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: this is just where I want to be. And now
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: you're walking into this and it's like, well, I didn't
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: do anything.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I didn't leave Ole Miss. What does that feel like?
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Mikey, I said I wasn't going to curse.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: But you're pissing me off. You did once already.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: But you're pissing me off. I'm going to have to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: ask you to drop your nuts. You're a player in
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: LSU and I didn't ask for this? What, are you
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: kidding me? If I heard somebody utter those words, I
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: would throw them out the second story of the football loft.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: You didn't ask for this. Get the hell out of here.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Because this is why you came here. To be on
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: this stage. You committed to LSU because you hate Ole Miss.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You want 15 million watching. And you want them to
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: watch you dominate your rival. You want to take LSU.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: everything that is precious to Ole Miss, everything they pray
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: for when they lay their head down at night and
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: they talk to their creator, you want to take all
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: of that and you want to melt it in front
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: of their faces and pour it back down their throat
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: and execute them. I want to suck from the cup
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: of their tears. I want to watch their women and
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: children writhing on the ground in just a ball of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: weeping and gnashing of teeth.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Get the hell out of here.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I'm ready to kick some ass if I'm walking into
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: that stadium Saturday.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: That's right. You tell them to you, Bob.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Taylor. You're welcome.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: You can't sign up to play for Lane Kiffin and
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: be like, whoa, why does everybody hate us all.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Of a sudden?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: And to be clear, LSU is leaning into this. I mean,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Lane said, if you want to accomplish great things, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: have to become the villain in somebody else's stories. They
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: are leaning into this us against the world motivational technique.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: And it is a very powerful technique. And I think,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'd be interested to see what y'all think.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Because much has been made about Lane saying all the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: pressure is on Ole Miss. And obviously you can just
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: say that I'm biased. So let me know if I'm
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: wrong here.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: No, but I love that he did that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: I agree with Lane.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: No, I love that he did that. He's saying, hey,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that team over there that I used to coach, they're really,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: really talented. And now I have this new team that's
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: not as talented and I'm still going to beat them.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it is true, though, because the Lane move
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: is a move that if you're a fan of Ole
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Miss has threatened your– your very identity. It's threatened your self-worth.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: It's threatened your ego. Lane Kiffin came to your school
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: and he brought you to heights that you had never
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: occupied before. Everybody in college football wants to get to
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: the college football playoff. It is the end-all be-all. Ole Miss,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: for the vast majority of its history, did not look
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: like a team capable of making it to that stage.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: Lane got you there. And then at the time of
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: greatest triumph, when the relationship should have been the strongest
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: and the love the most secure, he left you in
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the lurch. He left you for this guy who objectively
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: is better looking than you, but he's got drug problems,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you know? He's fumbling around. He's not showing up for
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: work on time. He's winning seven games. He's kind of
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: a hot disaster. And you're secure. You're doing well. You've
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: been working out. The GLPs have kicked in. You're in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the playoff. And he left you. For a 7-16. So
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: right there, he tells you, you are not good enough.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: At your best, you will never be good enough. You
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: can strive, you can claw, you can do everything you want,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: but you will never be good enough. That's what he
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: told Ole Miss and their fans, and that's what's on
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the line come Saturday night. If they were to lose
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: this game immediately, When they have Trinidad Chambliss, Kiwan Lacey,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Pete Golding. And then they go and hire Pete Golding.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: It's the ultimate nice guy fallback. Like, no, no, you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: know what? The asshole, he's– oh, damn. There it goes again.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: The a-hole, he's a bad guy anyway. We're going to
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: go with the good guy.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: It's going to work.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Well, you better hope. Yes. Because if Lane wins already
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: here in year one, then what hope do you have
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: for the future? None. None.
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, did Texas win or did Ohio State lose?
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Great question.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, Texas won.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Texas won.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Okay. But I should be clear. I have a few
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: golden rules in how I interpret football, one of which,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: bit of a side journey here, one of my biggest
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: pet peeves in sports media is we get so obsessed
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: with our takes, with our own predictions, that then when
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: we talk about games, instead of talking about the games themselves,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: all we end up doing is filtering it through our
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: own ego, right? Was I right? Was I wrong? If
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: I was wrong about this team, I'm just going to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: lambast them because they made me feel foolish. If I
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: was right about this team and said, again, them credit,
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to champion with I told you so. So
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: that's one of my golden rules. I absolutely hate that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about the football itself. Yeah, I
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: picked Oregon to win the night. I don't care. Oklahoma
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: State was awesome. Oklahoma State deserves to be celebrated. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: that's the second golden rule, which is I almost always
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: give credit to the people that created the moment versus
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: those who maybe lost it. Now, you can have true
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: choke jobs. Like, you can have situations and opportunities where
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: there was just an objective, inexcusable mistake that cost you
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: the game. I think about, like, crystal ball in Miami
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in that Georgia Tech game a couple of years back. Like,
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: there's no defending that. But if you look at Saturday,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: how can you not give credit to Texas? I mean,
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: in what world was that ever going to happen down
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: 23-3 with how the game flow had gone up to
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that point? As we enter this new... AI age where
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: robots and algorithms rule our existence and everything can be
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: mapped out. There is no code out there, no machine
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: learning system that could have ever taken the data we
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: had through three quarters and said that Texas was going
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: to win that football game. You know how they did
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: the human element.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: The ability to say, I don't give up. I'm going
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to choose to believe data be damned and I'm going
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: to find a way. And that's what Texas did, man.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: And I redove into that film. during the Monday Night
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Football game because that got so boring, I dove in
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: for an.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Hour to relive that fourth quarter.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Wanted to learn exactly what happened. Arch Manning was fantastic.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Those, and granted, Ohio State, They didn't. They were not
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: rushing him. They'd rush three. They'd rush four. They'd drop
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: back in zone. They were very clearly saying, we're not
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: going to allow you the big play. Our lead is
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: such that if we force you to play underneath us,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: we should enforce you to execute multiple long play drives
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: at a high level, like no margin of error. Eventually,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: you're going to mess up and you will lose the game.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: And they were close.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, without either fourth down conversion, Ohio State wins
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: that game. So it's not a bad strategy. But Arch
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: rolling out, pass rush in his face, fourth and nine,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: throws the opposite direction of his momentum to hit his
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: tight end. Yeah, there was no defender there because the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: throw shouldn't have worked. It shouldn't have been possible. They
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: get the first down. You have the other fourth down. Again,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: hand in his face. He finds it. They get the
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: first down. And you saw an Ohio State team get
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: completely exhausted. by a mixture of the Texas heat, the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: pressure being applied, and then credit to that Texas defense.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith looked like Achilles for much of that game.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: More demigod than man. Just slaughtering any who stood before
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: him left and right. But when you had to have it,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: that Texas defense found ways. to make the plays, to
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: stop him, give the ball back to the offense, and
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: my God, the Ohio State defense was dead tired by
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: the end of that game. And the fourth down conversions
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: are like that. They're like body shots. It was like
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: a punch-drunk boxer. They had no legs by the end
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: of that game.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Since that defense was so tired, how do you feel
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: about this from a player standpoint? If Ryan Day goes
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: up to his defense and says, hey, momentum has shifted here.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: We need to leave time on the clock to come
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: back and drive the ball down the field. I want
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you to let him score. How do the players in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: that huddle respond to Ryan Day, if indeed he says that?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know. I don't think it would
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: be the worst response because it is a strategy that
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: we've seen at the highest level. Yes. And with the
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: flow of the game, to your point, like, Ohio State's
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: legs were so dead that on those last couple of drives,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Arch might as well have been playing seven on seven.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: And you wonder why the running game was hitting so
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: much because they just couldn't move anymore. Like the O-line
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: had clearly established superiority. And so, yeah, it would have
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: been a completely viable strategy to let them score there.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: It would have come with critique.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: Of course.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Yes. Right? Because we'd be like, oh, that's crazy. You're
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: giving up. You could have stopped. You could have done this.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: You could have done that. And to be fair, they
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: got him to third and goal, right? So, again, maybe
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: they were right to do this. But, like, I remember
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: as a kid, it didn't work out. But my first
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: example of seeing this was the first Packers– I say first,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: but it was the Packers-Broncos Super Bowl with Elway versus Favre,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Packers heavy favorites. They let Terrell Davis and the Broncos
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: score at the end of that game to give Favre
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: time on the clock. But the defense is strong. It
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: didn't end up working out. But, like, yeah, if Mike Holmgren–
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: in his prime is going to make that decision.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I would have had no problem with Ryan day being
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: ballsy enough to, to take such a, um, kind of
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: high risk strategy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: What'd you make of, uh, Archer's apology there about the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Holly row video he saw, uh, on AI.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I, I'm glad that I'm glad that all,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: all sides have come to a, uh, to a, to
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: a good conclusion here. You know, you, uh, You get
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: what you ask for in this life. And you got
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: to sleep in the bed you make.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: And we have created a world in which AI slop
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and fixer algorithms. Our brains are mush. They're rotting away,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: especially if you're younger. It's quite literally getting worse every
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: single day. Yeah. What you saw out of Arch is
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: a direct result of the society we've created.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: So yeah, get mad at him.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Good learning lesson for him. Seemingly crazy from somebody our
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: age to do what he did.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: It'd be like that video was really funny. You're a man.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Again, it all seems insane, but he's young. He's a
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: child of the brain rot generation. It seems like him
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: and Holly have talked it out and that's gone over positively.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah. just keep it moving.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: This is what the robots do right before they kill you.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: They rot your brain, and then they kill you. You know?
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I'm afraid. I know you're afraid. I know. You're terrified.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, no, trust me, dude. We could go multiple
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: hours on our....
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: AI Doom.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: They just let it... They better let me play WoW
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: forever November 4th before we die. Like, give me a
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: couple years on WoW Forever, World of Warcraft. It's finally
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: coming out. I've been waiting for years for it. Give
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: me a couple years there. Let me see my kids
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: get a little bit older. Let me get Bobby to
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: respect his coaches, and then you can kill me.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I think if they came today and killed all of us,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: Mikey would be happy as a Jet fan. It's never
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: been better for us, right?
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Want to know?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Take them today.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Life has never been better.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: A couple of questions will get you out of here. Oregon,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. Which team is in the most danger of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: missing the playoff?
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's Oregon. It's Oregon with a bullet. It's Oregon
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: with a bullet. Yeah, I mean, Ohio State was damn
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: good against a very good Texas football team on the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: road for three quarters. They dominated that game. Like, I
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: know what happened in the fourth, but Ohio State is
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: more the team that you saw in those first three
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: quarters than they are what you saw in the fourth.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: They will not play in that heat again for the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: rest of the season. They will be prepared to in
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: future situations going against an elite team about, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the dangers of getting comfortable and getting complacent with a
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: game that you feel in hand. This is a great
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: learning lesson for Ohio State. And for the vast majority
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: of the game, I'm thinking, I already knew this Ohio
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: State offense was championship good. They're definitely looked apart. Jeremiah Smith, incredible.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: But the defense, man, that defense looks so damn good.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: To have 15 guys go to the NFL over the
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: last couple of years is, and yet Matt Patricia, who
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I think probably his NFL experience works in their favor
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: in terms of turning over rosters and getting guys ready
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: to go. Matt Patricia's awesome. They're completely fine. Oregon, the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: one question mark we had about Oregon entering the year
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: were the coordinator switches. Tasha Poi going to be head
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: coach at Cal, and maybe more importantly, Will Stein going
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: to be head coach at Kentucky. And I kind of
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: hand-waved them away thinking like, okay, but Oregon's talent is
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: so overwhelming that it will not matter. But now we
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: got Dante Moore tipping plays. The offense looking completely discombobulated.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: They didn't look great against Boise. And then Oklahoma State
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: lose Tulsa. They turn around and they didn't just beat Oregon.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: They kicked their butts. I mean, you look, dude. Oregon
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: basically had two defensive touchdowns and yet they still lost
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: by a score. They, they got out gay. They got
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: doubled up in the yardage two to one. They couldn't
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: run it. They couldn't throw it. And I don't know
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: if there are two more disappointing position groups in the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: country right now than the Oregon defensive line. and the
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Oregon offensive line. And so, yeah, I got... And last
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: thing here on this question. Every year, there's a handful
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: of can't-miss teams. And every year, about half of them miss.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Bill Connolly, he has an excellent S & P Plus system, right? Well,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: he's simmed the season a million times. There were seven
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: teams that had a 35% chance or better of making
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. Only four of them on average end up
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: making it, meaning three surefire things have to fail. It
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: looks like Oregon's the first one of those three.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, I think one of the most impressive results of
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: the weekend that nobody's really talking about is Alabama winning
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: at Kentucky where they outscored Kentucky 32-0 in the second half.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: One of the things about this Alabama team, Ryan Coleman
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Williams feels like he leaves a lot to be desired
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: when after his freshman year, the talks was him and
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith. Is Ryan Coleman Williams just going to finish
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: his Alabama career as like a one-moment Hall of Fame
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: guy from that Georgia game?
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he kind of looks like it now, right?
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's not wearing gloves anymore, so it appears
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: that he's probably still in his head about the drops
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and everything. The one thing you can't have as a
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: receiver is drops. It gets worse when It starts to
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: resemble yips. But that said, I think your first point
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: is the more important one. Regardless of what happens to
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Ryan Coleman Williams, don't lose sight of Alabama. Because that
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: was a really tough environment at Kroger Field. Those fans
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: were pumped up. Kentucky landed a few huge haymakers early.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: It's 17-16 in the third, and you're like, okay, dude,
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: we'll stye. Like, this is all changing. And it's at
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: that moment when things seem the worst. that all of
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: a sudden Alabama comes out and they completely flip the script.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Like that's a huge credit to them. That is a
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: damn good football team. And their schedule is such that
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: while it is very tough, it's a staircase of toughness,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: meaning they will have increasingly harder tests that will allow
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: them to round into form, to be at their best
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: when they need to be a team similar to that,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that had a similar weekend, Texas A & M. I'm
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: guilty of not paying attention to Arizona state last year,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you know, After they kind of fell out the gates,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: they lose Mississippi State. Okay, Dillingham, it was fun for
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: one year. It's over. Arizona State looked good. They were
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: flying around defensively, offensively. Dillingham proving why he was once
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: that wunderkind at Oregon. Cutter Boley looked fantastic. They're going
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: toe-to-toe with A & M. But A & M says
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: not so fast. They end up taking over that game,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: create turnovers, end up dominating the final score. So, like,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: it's a weird thing. Where in both those games last week,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: I emerged feeling very good about Kentucky and very good
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: about Arizona State and the direction they're going. But to
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: build on that, I'm even more impressed with what I
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: saw in Alabama and A & M taking what felt
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: to be close games and completely dominating them by the end.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: You're a big Saints fan. Your dad played quarterback for
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the Saints. Can you share any of the text exchange
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: between you and your father towards the end of that
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: game and into overtime?
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, he doesn't talk to me.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: He doesn't talk to me on game day.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: He's working. He's working. He does local Saints radio.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: No, I know he does.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Yes. Yeah, no, that's what I'm saying. And he locks
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: in to the point where, like, he won't answer text,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: won't answer phone. So he didn't talk to me. I
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: was actually a bit surprised, I guess, because he's living
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: in it so much. He was pretty pissed off about it.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: But, like, I emerged out of that game, and my God, dude,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Tyler Shuck. Yes. I mean, have you seen the throws
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: that Tyler Shuck made on Sunday, dude?
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Incredible.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Six big-time throws. Second in the NFL from Sunday, Josh
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Allen with three. Like, the Saints— Have a franchise quarterback,
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: a true franchise quarterback. There's a lot to clean up,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: but to go on the road, be down 21-0, force OT,
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: answer the Tud in overtime with the touchdown of your own. Yeah,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the two-point conversion didn't work, but I emerged feeling way
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: more bullish. about the New Orleans Saints in an NFC
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: South that features not one, not two, not three, but
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: four 0-1 teams after week one.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: It's perfect, yes. Hell yeah.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, when it comes to the Heisman in college football,
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: right now Darian Mensah is the favorite, and then you
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: have Jeremiah Smith and Arch Manning. Very quietly, though, in Starkville, Mississippi,
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: could you start to make a case for Kamario Taylor
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: winning the Heisman?
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, unfortunately... It would have to come down to wins, right?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Or I would say this. It's a mixture of two things.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: A small school guy like that can win if there
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: is a vacuum at the top combined with them winning
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: more games than they should, right? Like Robert Griffin at Baylor,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: I think they were like 9-3 that year maybe. But
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: his stats were so overwhelming that you could not go
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: another direction.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson at Louisville. I think they might have been
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: like 9-3 as well. But his stats were so overwhelming
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: that you couldn't go any other direction. So in both cases,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: they won more than they should, but not championships. But
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: their stats were like an outlier. Unfortunately, I don't see
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: those elements at play for Mississippi State. Now, they could win.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I think the first part, they'll win way more games
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: than we thought we would entering the season. He makes
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: them immediately competitive in any game. But I don't think
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: you're going to have a power vacuum at the top.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: You already saw the Arch moment. As you alluded to,
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Darian Mintz's statistics are outliers in and of themselves as
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: an ACC. Give credit to the ACC. Three wins over
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten last weekend. But still, I don't see
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: the ACC slowing Darian Mintz down with what we've seen
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: from him. So I could see Camario getting to New York.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I see him lifting the trophy,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: but who cares? Because Camario Taylor is awesome. And if
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen him play, you should because there's nothing
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: he can't do. He's massive and in short-yarded situations can
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: fall forward for first downs. In open field situations, he
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: sprints like a deer. He can outrun you. And my God,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: does he put the ball on a frozen rope, dude.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: It is a sight to behold.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: 8 to 10 a.m. Eastern every single day. Wake up
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Barstool on FS1, wherever you get your podcasts as well.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Final question. You do that show from Chicago. You're in Chicago.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: Is Caleb Williams the biggest star in Chicago right now?
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. Now he's rocking the mustache. What's
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: more Chicago than a sick mustache? And for all the
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: talk in the offseason of being, you know, can Caleb ascend?
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Can he do the fundamental things right? And there was
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: hype growing, like through the local radio chatter, through Ben
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Johnson being like, he's really taking the next step. If anything,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: he's having to reel him in at times. But the
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: one stat that everybody focused on was completion percentage. Rightfully so.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: I think it was like 60% last year, maybe 58.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: He had all the spectacular plays. What would he do
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: with the fundamentals? Well, look at Sunday, 72% completion percentage. Now, granted,
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: when you run the ball like the Bears did on Sunday,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: it's going to make any quarterback's life infinitely easier. But
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: that said, I don't know how you could still be
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: doubting Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, and that Bears offense. The
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: defense may be a bit of a disaster. The absolute
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: limiting factor. But offensively, there's a reason why Ben Johnson
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: felt confident enough before the year to be like, yeah,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: we want to set the NFL record. We want to
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: average 38 points a game.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, I think you can make the argument that if
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: you needed three sports stars from three different sports in
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: one city, Chicago might be up there with just about
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: any city.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I think they have it, yes.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: PCA in baseball, Conor Bedard in hockey.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: And Caleb Williams in the NFL. And the best part
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: about Chicago, they kind of all hang out with each other.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: They're going to each other's games, and they're all supporting
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: each other.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, but the Bears are going to be in Indiana soon. Yeah, Hammond, dude.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: I know. It's going to be Caleb and Cignetti.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Again, I get all the cope. I understand the business
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: reasons why. I understand that Hammond is in Chicagoland, and
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: it's the same. I understand it all. It's lame as hell.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: It is an awful sign of corporate dystopia that we
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: are going to end up with the pride and joy
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: of Illinois playing in Hammond, Indiana. That said, PCA, Caleb Williams,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: cool as hell. I think Conor Bedard needs to do
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit more. to uh to break into because
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: I mean with PCA and Caleb you're talking about true
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: I mean PCA is going to win MVP oh yeah
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and Caleb Williams could win MVP he will like you're
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: talking about probably the most powerful single city duo in
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: the entire country.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah uh T-Bob we appreciate it man we love you
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: uh enjoy the game this weekend the in-laws are coming
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: over I'm assuming they're taking care of the they're watching
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: the kids you watch the game right.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah we're gonna be we're gonna be I mean I
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: They're not the bastards taking care of the kids-in-law, but
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that's fine.
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: I just got to say that out of the side
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: of your mouth.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: If you say that out of the side of your mouth, T-Bob,
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: it doesn't count.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't count. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: Well, look, we've been here before.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: We know how to.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Handle this, okay?
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Prior preparation prevents poor performance. And your boy is prepared
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and locked in for Saturday night to sup from the
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: cup of rebel misery.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: His tongue, he's sticking his tongue. Wake up Barstool, 8
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: to 10 a.m. Eastern on FS1 and wherever you get
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: your podcast.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: D-Bob, we love you.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: Thank you, dude.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: I love you, boys.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Take it easy, guys.
