  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_01: A good thing the game's on the road.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's right.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: Well, uh, we'll have to tell our listeners.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_01: We actually did get together last weekend.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_01: He came up with your family and and uh he called me up and went and picked you up, and we went up to uh downtown Starville, went up to Hobie's, Hobie's own main.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_01: Hobie Hobart.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_01: You got to meet Hobie Hobart and see uh the uh Key West themed uh bar on Hobie's own main.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and got to see your picture on the wall in there too.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: Pictures on the wall.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: We were up there with some famous folks.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: Wallace celebrities, man.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_01: Me, Jackie Wayne, and Dak Prescott all on the same wall, man.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty cool.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, we had a great time.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we went, uh, came in Friday, walked around campus for a while, uh, got got checked into the Airbnb.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_02: The the Airbnbs in Starkville are different, and and they may not all be this way, but you know, normally when you say it an Airbnb, at least nowadays, it's it's basically like a condo or something, and you go in there and it's um, you know, like staying, like when you go to the beach, it's fully furnished and you got everything you need.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_02: But the the two that we've stayed at in Starkville have been people's houses.
• 2:01
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like the people that live there, I mean, there's pictures of them all over the wall.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: Their food is still in the refrigerator.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's kind of a weird feeling because you're sleeping in somebody else's bed.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's basically like this family that lives in this house just left the house for one night and we're paying to stay at their house.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't know.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: I I didn't really like it.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: The kids liked it because the there was a bunch of toys out there.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, they had a little boy, I think, that lived there, and so they were playing with the toys.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_02: But um, I don't know.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: I I feel like it's it's kind of a different feeling.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_02: So if you're going to Airbnb and Starkle, make sure it's you know not somebody's house, or you know, if you're okay with that, just just kind of know that you you know that.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: But it's crazy how expensive they are.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, used to be a better deal than a hotel, but uh it's those people are making a lot of money to live there.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: So Johnny, you ought to do that with your house.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, go go stay at the Capasick house one night and just rent your house out.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I had uh when I when I had my place in the cotton district, the the girl right next door to me, she would do that on the weekend.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: She had a brother in town, she just stay with a brother and rent it out every weekend and uh make good money doing it.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: So a lot of people do that, but yeah, we we can't do that out here at our neighborhood.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: We got bylaws, we won't let Airbnb.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: Otherwise, that that's a great idea.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: But no, we had a great time at Hobie's.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's a cool spot.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_02: Hoby's Hobie's such a nice guy, and I was glad to meet him and uh glad we talked about you know Steve Azar, how we were had him on the podcast, and we were actually on his show this this past Monday.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: We recorded it.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I think he said it's gonna air October 17th.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: So y'all be on the lookout for that.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_02: We'll we'll be sure to talk more about that when it's closer.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: But it's he's got a radio program on uh Mississippi Talk Sports.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_02: Is it Mississippi Sports Talk?
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: What uh Super Talk, Mississippi.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Super Talk, yeah, Super Talk, Mississippi.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, that was good and uh got to catch up and and then obviously the game was a was a disaster, but we knew that going into it, so it's not surprising.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh a whole year is gonna be a disaster, but uh uh anyway.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, uh saw the other day, it's like 40 something more days till basketball season starts.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, I think we'll be pretty good at basketball this year, so that'll give something to look forward to.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: There you go.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, we still had a good time going to the game, man.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_02: It was so hot.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I bought the seats on the west side.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_02: I thought we were gonna be under the shade, but we were not under the shade.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: And took my five-year-old, it's the first time he's ever been to a game, and he lasted, they had the little intro.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: He loved it when Bully ran out in the field and the team ran out fireworks and all that.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: The flyover was cool.
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_02: And then he just he looked his face was all red, he was sweating, he looked like he was gonna pass out.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: So I took him up under the overhang, and there was the nicest people up there.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_02: You could stand up there, but it was kind of underneath the the second level, uh, just on the lower west side.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: And so we walked up, and there's a the seats that are at the very top, there's kind of a railing up there, and we stood just right behind there.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: You could get a perfect view of the field, and uh the boys could just kind of sit down.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_02: There's a little space they could sit, and the people that were sitting there, they they didn't mind us being there.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: They said, Y'all, it's so hot.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, if y'all want to sit in these seats, you know, sit in these seats, and we were able to get some water and get some snacks, and everybody we just basically stayed under there the whole game.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: So until we left, we left at halftime, like everybody else did.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was a hot man.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: It was sun was beaming right down, and and uh yeah, props for the people.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: I left at uh the beginning of the the third, I mean middle of the third quarter.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_01: I stayed the third, I left at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_01: But uh it's funny, man.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: I used to never leave games early, and every game we've had a home game this year, I've left early.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I told mom, I was like, through the whole season was staying a complete game.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: First game left, obviously, because of the rain, and then too late, Toledo blew out, one staying for that, and then this one was just hot and a blowout.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: So maybe one of these days I'll stay the whole week, the whole game this year.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, the people that stayed the whole game this year, man, props to y'all.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what y'all are thinking, but yeah, pretty pretty rough to see, especially in the in the warm weather outside.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: But there's some that made it through that one.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, we we got some good food while we were there.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: We ate at Obi's on Friday night.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: It was packed.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_02: Uh the line was real long.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: Took a while to get through the line, but once you got through the line, food came out quick.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: It was just as good as ever.
• 6:31

  SPEAKER_01: That was a man, that was near and dear to my heart, man.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_01: Because you remember we we started that season off 8-0.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: And uh we went in season two.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: I was at the game, uh, it was pretty funny, man.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I used to travel with the team with Coach Cheryl, it's good friends.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: He always let me uh travel with them.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I rode the bus.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: That was actually my first away game to go, was the Alabama game in 1999.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: And we were, uh, eight and oh going into that game, uh, highly ranked.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: They were highly ranked.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: And uh we I drove up there on a I drove up Startball.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that was probably the first time I drove by myself up to up to Startball.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_01: And uh man, I'll never forget.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_01: I went to Dorman parking lot.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh that's where I always went and parked there.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: How did I park?
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I just went to the bathroom there.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's why, because we always went to the bathroom.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: BW, there was a there was a uh in the Dorman uh bathroom, ever since I was a kid, all the way up to where we were in college, it's no longer there now.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: In the stall, in the men's bathroom, there's a cow, and the cow's looking at you, and it says, Here's looking at you, kid.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_01: Moo.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember that.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not there anymore.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_01: But uh anyway, I stopped in the bathroom to see that and uh just for uh nostalgic sake, I guess.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: And I went over to the football office and uh and talked with uh Coach Cheryl's secretary, uh Pam Love, who's a dear friend of mine.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: And and then she's like, Coach is back there, so I go back to see Coach Cheryl.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: And and Coach is like John Clark, uh, come come come ride with me.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna go over to the M Club.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_01: So that night, uh this is on uh uh I guess Thursday night.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Was it Thursday or no?
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: Had to been Friday night.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: That's what it was.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: It was on a Friday afternoon.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: So uh so we go over there, all right.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, go to the M Club.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: Coach Cheryl, he picks me up.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: He has a Jaguar, I believe, or Audi.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's what was an Audi.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm riding with him with coaching, and uh it was pretty pretty awkward, man.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm a little, you know, what 16, 17-year-old guy, and here's a legendary college football coach.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm riding shotgun with him.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_01: I know what to say, you know.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: It's kind of kind of weird.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we're good friends and everything, but it's just kind of kind of strange, kind of surreal moment.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, we we don't like I don't really say much.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: He asked me a few questions, and then we go to the M Club.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_01: He's like, Go on up there, fix your plate.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: So there we had like a buffet at the top of the M Club overlooking the stadium, and uh and uh they're playing the we play Kentucky the week before, and we beat Kentucky in a miraculous comeback.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: Scott Westford kicked the field goal as time expired, and we ended up winning.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: So they're showing that game, and we're having a uh pre uh, I guess it was a pre-game dinner because it's night four.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and then we load up on the bus and we go to Tuscaloosa.
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, man, what are we doing?
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: Because Tuscaloosa, we're no, we're going to Columbus, excuse me.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: The game is in Tuscaloosa.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: We're playing, we stopped.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, why are we staying in Columbus?
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, that's when I found out the team doesn't really ever stay in the town that the university is.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: So, like for instance last week, the gate Florida Gator stayed in Tuscaloosa, I heard.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: So, anyway, that particular trip, we stayed at the Columbus Holiday Inn.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, so I get you know, I stay there, I got a room to myself, it's nice, and then and then we I that morning bright and early, we get up and we bus on over to Tuscaloosa.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_01: BW, I'll never forget this.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: It's pretty cool, pretty cool moment.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: So we're we're pulling up, and uh you know that we're like I said, we're we're highly ranked.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: We're we got a big following that year, and we're undefeated and Alabama's top ranked.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_01: So we uh the bus pulls up, and man, there's all these state fans everywhere just lined up outside of the bus, you know, and we're getting off the bus, and they're on both sides, and everybody's uh uh giving everybody five, Wayne Mackin, Decinto Miller, you know, all these guys, uh uh Dante Walker, all the stars on the team, they're all all walking by.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: And man, I'm walking through the thing.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_01: People give me five, like I'm a part of the team.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_01: What's the coolest thing, man?
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: Felt like I was part of the team.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_01: It was really weird, but that's what Coach Cheryl did, man.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: He made me made me feel like a part of the team.
• 11:35
  SPEAKER_01: Can't say enough good things about him.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: I uh I texted him this weekend, he was in town.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_01: I saw him ringing that cowbell at the game on Saturday.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: Just he's the best.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: I love Coach Cheryl.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh anyway, that game, man, we we lost uh 19 to 7.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: I still remember uh they had some bogus holding calls on us, and just you know, it's when it gets to be like that, when Sissippy State's really good against a top-ranked team by Alabama, you're not gonna get the calls, they're gonna always go for the bigger, bigger team, and that's that's been the story of the life.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_01: And so uh, but the fact that we were able to be in that position at that time, we had the number one defense in the country, Joe Jolie Dunn.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: And and uh then we ended up dropping um dropping the next game on the road, Arkansas.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_01: But then we came back and and won in the miraculous comeback in his old mess and finished 10-2.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it's hard to believe.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, had we had beaten Arkansas or or Alabama, we would have won the West two years in a row.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: We finished second west uh that year and went on to beat Clemson and the peach ball.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: Just a remarkable team.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: We're really good, uh uh just great memories.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: That that stretched between 1997 to 2000.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, I don't know it's if it'll ever be done like that again at Mississippi State.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we were just obviously Coach Mullen had some good years, but as far as dominant program from that many years, uh to only Tennessee and Florida in the SEC won more games than Mississippi State did in that time period.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: And we had a home winning streak from uh uh the believe 98 season all the way up until that game.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: We talked about BWS podcast, Arkansas in November of 2000 that we lost.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: So we had uh what was that 98, 99, three years without losing a home game, which is just impressive.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_01: So uh so anyway, I feel really fun to see that team get honored on the field during the game.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, last year the head coach Cheryl came out with the SEC West champion '98 team when he had that cat, he had his hip surgery.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: So he he looked like a young man out there with his uh walking around.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: But last year he had that staff, you know, when he was coming out, it looked like his staff coming out leading the team.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: And uh that so that was awesome, man.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: Getting to see him last year in '98 and then this year in '99, uh teams get honored.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, you know, we do have that this is the 10-year anniversary of the um 2014 team when Dak went to number one.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm hoping later on in the season they'll uh they'll do something of uh acknowledgement for that that group.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because that may be about the only fun thing about most of the games going forward.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_02: So hopefully they'll do something like that.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, indeed.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, Johnny, um we'll talk a little bit about the coffee, and then I know you're you're heading to Austin this week, so we'll we'll talk about that for a second as well.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_02: But just want to remind everybody that's listening the reason we're doing this show is so we can raise money for cystic fibrosis, which our co-host here, Johnny, suffers from.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: And we sell fresh coffee on johnnypacker.net, the website.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: You go on there, pick your coffee.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: The coffee is actually roasted in New Albany, Mississippi at High Point Roasters.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: Pick you a bag, they'll roast it for you fresh as soon as you order it, and they'll ship it to you within a week.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's the freshest coffee you're gonna get.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: Best tasting coffee.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_02: You can get whatever kind of coffee you want to.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: And it goes to supporting a good cause, you're supporting a Mississippi company, and you're you're not just ordering plain old Folgers coffee from from Kroger.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: So change your habits, get some good coffee.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: Johnnypacker.net, help us support us, and we really appreciate it.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we really do.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: Uh my doctor, who's uh dear friend of mine, called um text me this morning.
• 15:07
  SPEAKER_01: He's at the National CF conference right now in Boston.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: And uh he was told me that he was gonna listen and fill me in on some stuff.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_01: And I told me, told him, let me know if they'd talk about the nonsense mutations because that's the one the people who have been listening to about my I have the have a rare nonsense mutation along with the normal CF mutation.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I've not done as good as the people that have the two copies of the normal mutations, that one nonsense that that keeps me from doing great.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: But tricapta that I'm on, the reason why it's working so well on me, it's good for the people that have one copy of the nonsense and one normal.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: So there's still 10% of the people of CF population have two rare nonsense, which is really rare and really not good.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: But so that means they can't take it and there's nothing out there for them.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_01: So uh that's so when they do come out with something for the people with the nonsense mutations, with the people that have two, I should actually benefit more because that's hitting that nonsense mutation that I have in that one.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: So uh that's on the horizon right now, and and it's that's the hardest thing for them to uh for some reason for them to come up with something for.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_01: So all the money that you that you donate through buying coffee products on johnnypacker.net goes to the CF Foundation to help research and come up with new drugs because that's where we're at right now is trying to find uh a miracle drug for these people that that don't have one.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: Because I I've been in that boat, I know what it's like, it's awful to watch other you're happy, but you're also mad.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: You're you're happy to see other fellow CFers do so well on a drug, but you're like, why can't I take one?
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: Why don't I have one?
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_01: So that's what the goal is, is try to get get stuff for that 10%.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, and I've been in that position.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I like to talk about this all the time because I know what it's like and and it's tough.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: So um, so anyway, that's what you're doing.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: You're doing a great cause by by simply buying a bag of coffee.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_01: And and it's something that, like BW said, you'll enjoy.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's good tasting and and it's very affordable, and it'll be shipped right to your door.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_01: And uh the best part is going towards a great cause.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: So win-win deal all around, johnnypacker.net is a website.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: And BW, I I just posted yesterday, I believe, or it might have been the day before, four years ago.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's been four years since you text me and said, Hey man, we got the glasses up and running.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: And I remember going in front of the uh fireplace, I had a little fire chat with Johnny, man, and and and told everybody, you know, what we have going on.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: And Johnny Packer Iware was born and we're doing it to CF and all that sort of stuff.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then here we are four years later, still doing it, but now we're doing coffee products and still going towards a good cause.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: And like I said, we're going up next week to the CF uh meeting they have up in Memphis and presenting a check for donations.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: So uh can't make it without I can't thank you.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: Thank y'all for for donating.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: People with CF can't make it without without drugs, and and this is going towards all that.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: So thank y'all.

• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: You never know.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_01: Uh minutes are be roaming up and down the sidelines for Texas, and then we'll get see Orange Manning play.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's funny, uh BW in 1994.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um I came up here to a game against Mississippi State uh in Tennessee was playing, and that was Peyton Manning's first collegiate start for University of Tennessee, and we played it played up here in Starbucks, and Mississippi State beat him.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we beat Paint Manning his first uh SEC Park College start.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_01: So this would be Arch Manning's first SEC start.
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_01: Don't see us beating them at all.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_01: I believe it's gonna be a bloodbath, man.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna they're actually absolutely demolishing, but uh but just being in the stadium, get to see Bivo, getting to see all this Texas traditions and all that sort of stuff I've been hearing about and seeing for so long to finally get to to soak it all in.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm really looking forward to it.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's gonna be fun.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's been a while since I've been to Austin, but my uncle lives there and spent some time there, and it's it's a cool place.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_02: Never actually been to a game there, but we always like it.
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: There's lots of good food.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's different.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's there's some crazy stuff going on, and I know it's changed since then.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_02: There used to be a lot of hippies there.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_02: Used to have all those shirts that said keep Austin weird.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's kind of the the Whole Foods, that's where they were founded.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_02: And my uncle used to take us to the the first Whole Foods, and it was one of those places you went, it was a massive grocery store, but they had everything in there.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's like going to a food court, they got all this food, and you're like, oh man, what is this place?
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: It's really cool.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: All these hippies milling around downtown, and hey man, how you doing, man?
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, just kind of a different vibe.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: And um then, you know, the city started growing, and so they started making those t-shirts, keep Austin weird, because they didn't want you know all the corporate stuff to come in and everything.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_02: But from what I understand now, it's it's it's changed so much, it's so big.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh lots of people from California live there, and uh it's it's totally different place.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I think you'll you'll have a good time while you're there.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, Strange Brew and Starbucks, they have a sign.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_01: I'm guessing they based it off of Austin.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: It says keep starble strange.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm guessing they all keep Austin weird, but uh yeah, looking forward to it.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I know when you're in Texas, you gotta eat some good uh Texas barbecue or stuff like that.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm hoping I find some good joints to to eat and uh eat eat some good food out there while while I'm there.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, the tourist place is the Salt Lake Barbecue, but I think it's further out, so I don't know if you'll be able to make it out.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if there's one down close to where you'll be or not.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um I'm staying downtown near near near the campus.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, uh hopefully somewhere around there I'll be be good.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, I don't know anything about tailgate.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_01: Have you ever did you say you've been to a game before there?
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: Never been.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what their tailgating scene is like or anything like that.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: So I might just to to just uh walk around campus and see what it's like and and just soak it all in.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: You know, uh we haven't played Mississippi State has not played at University of Texas since I believe 1991, uh I believe, and that was uh Coach Cheryl's first year at Mississippi State.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: And then we we beat them back to back.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_01: They played '91 uh and '92, Austin and Starkwell.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: And this is uh Coach Sherrill's first first two uh matchups against Texas.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he owned them when he was at AM.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then he that was the the famous game where he he got the bull from the vet school out here or the Cow, but you know, the bull, yeah.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_01: And he castrated it.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's really hilarious.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: But if that happened today, man, there it would have been all over the news.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_01: He'd have been in trouble and everything.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_01: But I remember on the podcast one time I asked him that question about what happened.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: He said that he asked if everyone knew the difference between a a steer and all that.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_01: And none of them raised their hands.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_01: So he said, and remember Stratt, our good friend, who was one of the trainers on the team.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_01: He uh he still has that knife that it that he used to have that happen.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: But I can't imagine the players, man, at practice watching that happen was like, what their coach is cast training a bull.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, just hilarious, man.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_01: But but yeah, he did coach.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's one thing, nothing, nothing about coach.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_01: He always used motivation tact tactics, it was kind of out out of the norm, and and it and it worked, and he was just so successful.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: But we beat him uh those two years, and then of course in '98, the year we won the SEC West, we played him in the cotton bowl, and that was when they had Heisman Trophy winner, Ricky Williams.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_01: He ran all up.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: I was on the field on that game.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_01: I remember that all over us in that game and just blew us out.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, so yeah, we we vlonged with Texas in the past, but man, we're in a different age of college football now where players get paid, NIL, all that stuff, and Texas is just loaded with money.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: So they're number one team in a re for a reason.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, BW, I don't think we're gonna score.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: Uh matter of fact, uh, when I went with Coach Cheryl in 2001, we played at Florida.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we talked about last week.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Florida was our first game that we played at start for when we were college freshmen and we beat them.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't remember if you remember, I don't know if you remember, but the next year, our sophomore year, we played at the swamp, and man, we got beat 52 to nothing.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: 52 to nothing.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: I was there with the team.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: I went I went traveled on that game.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_01: The Florida fans had their keys out into the first quarter, it was 28 to nothing.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_01: And I was like, this is just insane.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: So, dude, I'm I'm I'm thinking it's just gonna be just like that.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be 50.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think we're gonna score.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be ugly.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: The line is 36.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna say 52 to nothing, just just for sake of the Florida game.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think it's gonna be 28-nothing or something like that into the first as well.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: So what do you think?
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_02: We score it all.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's a probably a good prediction.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_02: I was trying to think, you know, if it kind of depends on Arch Manning, if he is sharp and and as good as everybody says he's gonna be, if he throws some, you know, if he can throw some passes, it could get up into the 60s.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it could be 64 to nothing, something like that.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_02: But if if uh they just run the ball on us and they don't throw it very much, they keep it pretty vanilla, they kind of run the clock.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: I can see it still being 45, 52, nothing, something like that.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_02: I definitely don't think we score unless Van Buren is gonna come in and be the savior.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, he puts uh say he puts up 28 points or something.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_02: Offensive line decides to start blocking for him.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_02: Um, that's the only scenario I see is scoring any points.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, it's gonna be bad, but it'll still be fun either way.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm excited just to uh people are like, man, why are you going to the game?
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, man, I really don't care at this point.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: I just Texas, the traditions and not everything, university.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, Van Buren, man, I can't imagine what he's like in the fresh, true freshman quarterback getting thrown into the fire on the road against the number one team in the country.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: And uh, I mean, he's gonna get he's gonna be hurt, man.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_01: Hope hopefully he doesn't get hurt, but he's gonna be sore from all the I mean, if the line, like you just said, the line doesn't protect, he's gonna get sacked, be rushed all day.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_01: Did you see the video?
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think I might have seen it.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was going all over Twitter on the internet about our defense uh last game, how they were all shifted to the one side.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the hole was so open that you could part the Red Sea, man.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_01: It was just like, yeah, I mean, what are we doing?
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like the defense coordinator, I don't understand at all, but I mean, he better get it get his stuff together because it's gonna get ugly on Saturday if he doesn't.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, we talked early in the season too about Shapin going out, um, and how we didn't have much hope if he went out, but yeah, I don't think it mattered whether we had him or not.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_02: So right, yeah.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_01: Coach said that at the opening thing.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_01: He said our number one goal this season is to keep Blake Shapin healthy.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_01: If we do not, we're in trouble because our two quarterbacks do not know the playbook.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's what he said in August.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_01: And we're there, man.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_01: We're there, but like you said, we are mattered if Shapin was healthy, like after seeing what we've seen so far this and we just have no talent on both sides of the ball.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's just the cupboard's bare, pretty much, and uh and Texas is loaded.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_01: So, and then you know, you get I think we get a week off next week to heal our wounds, and then we gotta go to at Georgia.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_01: So everybody's saying, Hey, we don't play Bama this year, or our LSU.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_01: Well, guess what?
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_01: We get Texas and Georgia on the road.
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think about that game, Johnny?
• 26:56
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I don't have much else to say about this one, but what do you think about roll tide Willie rolling into uh to that game?
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: That Georgia Alabama game is gonna be the game of the day.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: And uh I don't know.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, roll tide Willie.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: It man, I wish we were in Tuscaloosa, beat W.
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's in Tuscaloosa most because he he's gonna be he sounds like he's gonna be set up signing autographs, taking pictures of people.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: He's yeah, he's turned into quite a celebrity over there, but man, I think we don't give a piss about nothing but the tide, Johnny.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, blitz bamboa blitz.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's it's that's it's saying, but I think Kirby Kirby and Georgia's gonna beat Alabama.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: I really do think so.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Alabama's had uh had their number.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_01: I looked at the uh previous games yesterday, and uh, you know, Alabama for the most part has dominated Georgia here recently.
• 27:48
  SPEAKER_01: But I think I don't know.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_01: I it's really tough to tell.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's at Alabama, they have the home field advantage, but just the the new coach, and uh I don't know, Alabama could win, but if I had to put money on her guess on it, I would I would pick Georgia just because well, they're highly ranked and Kirby's smart and he's been there and this is Alabama's coach first time in this type of game.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_01: So uh I do think it's gonna be a heck of a game.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: I did see where Trump's gonna be there.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_01: So uh all the I mean it's gonna be a big big ordeal, it looks like.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I picked Georgia to win.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_02: I do think it'll be close, but I I think Georgia comes out on top at the end of it.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the only thing about it is if Georgia does win, I hope I hope Roll Tide Willie posts a video.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'd love to see his reactions because you know he'll be upset and it'll be pretty.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if y'all want a good laugh, go check out Roll Tide Willie if you don't know what we're talking about.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, Roll Tide Willie, he's on everything Instagram, uh, TikTok, Facebook.

  SPEAKER_00: And you know, all the teams go there that night when they celebrate, uh, because it's not something that happens, you know, they don't like the tower for just anything.
• 39:01
