• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State. They host Alabama this weekend. Big weekend in Starkville.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Chris Landry, 5 to 5.30. We'll go all in on
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: college football. A little bit on the NFL. So we
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: had a couple surprises out there that flew under the radar.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin knocks off Penn State. Penn State, number 13 team
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: in the country. Penn State loses 24 to 20 over
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the weekend. Mississippi State, I know you guys have recapped that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: We can continue to do that. What was your biggest
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: takeaway in the state game? Did you have a biggest
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: takeaway or did you watch the game?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I watched the game. Biggest takeaway.
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: Biggest takeaway is I finally saw a receiver lay out
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: for a ball.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yes, he did.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: That catch by Anthony Evans, because I've noticed this over the,
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: and maybe it's just because I'm old and I'm sounding
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: like an old man now, but I have noted in
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: years past, recent years past, that I don't see receivers
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: lay out.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Nearly anywhere, nearly.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: As much for balls as they did back in the day.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: So it's been a while since I've seen something like that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: So I really respected that dude for doing that.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: No, that was a huge catch. And like you said, he,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: he went out and got it. And then also, uh,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I just think the fight state never, you know, state
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: went up, state went down. They never stopped fighting. This
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: team plays four quarters and that's good. Other biggest takeaway.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Did you watch any of this Texas Tennessee game?
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Barely any.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Did you see Tennessee get teed up for a couple penalties,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: like simulating using the restroom and stuff?
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I did see that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Very weird. And the player for Texas sacks a quarterback
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and gets up and acts like he is urinating, standing up.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: They flag him, and it was unsportsmanlike conduct for simulating
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: using the restroom. I guarantee that official enjoyed calling that penalty.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And the player holds his hands up and looks around like, what?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: You can't you can't do that. Like, why did he
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: think that was OK?
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Because people are stupid. Kids are stupid. Yeah, exactly. How
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: are you baffled by that?
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Let's let's just use a rule that you don't act
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: like you're going to the bathroom in any sort of way, because, well,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: let's just think back to the egg bowl.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that egg bowl was. What was that, 2019 already?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh. Yeah, it was quite a few years ago now.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but anyway, common sense moving forward.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Don't act like you're going one or two on the field.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: And everything will be fine.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Now, there was some play out there. Obviously, we'll get
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: into the Ole Miss game. 52-28. You've got to tip
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: your hat to Trinidad Chambliss. Man, the guy's a competitor.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And a guy battles. I don't think that this, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I know that, Florida fans will disagree with this. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: don't think this means Florida is that much better than
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss. I mean, they got taken to the distance
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: by Auburn the week before. Ole Miss could not stop
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the run game. Every time Ole Miss would answer, Florida's
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: handing it off, and they're ripping 15, 20, 25 yards.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: So Ole Miss has got to get that cleared up.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But the worst performance of the day, goes to John Mateer.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Did you see some of this stuff going on with
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: John Mateer against Georgia?
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I saw the highlights.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: If you can call those highlights.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: That's what I saw because I wasn't going to, I
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: didn't watch this game just because I think Ole Miss
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: was opposite of it. And, you know, I was just
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: checking the scores and the highlights would come across X,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: but the one play right at the goal line, he
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: goes and he rolls to his left. The ball just
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: comes out of his hands. As, as one person said,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: John Mateer is done. They need a, they really need
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: to get him to counseling. Like the guy, the guy's
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: lost it. He's, he's done. There's no coming back from this,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: is it? I mean, he is– one guy says John
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Mateer kind of makes– the John Mateer kind of QB
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: makes you stop watching football and become more productive in
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: real life. Like saying I just don't care anymore about
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: what's going on. And did you– well, you didn't watch
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the Tennessee game. At first I thought it was my TV,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: but then I realized other people were talking about it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Kirk Herbstreet had a problem with his headset. Did you
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: hear about this? So it was, you know, like sometimes
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: even here when we do ballgames, you'll get the crackling
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: in the headset, you know, and just something was going on.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Herb Street was not happy about it. And they tried
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: to fix it. And then even Fowler was joking with
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: him like, hey, if you just want to write something down,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: I'll say it for you. Like messing with him. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Kirk was just like, man, I've just never had to
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: deal with this. I've just never had to deal with this.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Like he was not happy. But it was obviously something
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: in the headset. It was something. They finally got it fixed.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: But it was very weird. Herb Street, not happy.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: No. That's not shocking, Herb Street. Why don't you go
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: pet your dog and shut up and calm down?
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Why do they keep pushing this? I've asked this for
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: now two years. I saw a Canes commercial now. This
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: is horrible marketing. People don't care about that dog that much,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: do they?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Sadly, yes.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: People seem to.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Why do we care about what kind of dog Herb
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Street has? This blows my mind.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: I think we have found if you take something... And
• 8:22
  Speaker 6: you shove it in people's face enough. Eventually, I feel
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: like people just accept it. You shove it in their
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: face enough because we saw that Herb Street's dog.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: ESPN with Pat McAfee.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: You just take something and you shove it down their
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: throat long enough. Maybe people just realize, you know what?
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: I guess I don't have an option at this point anymore.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: You make a good point about McAfee because at the beginning,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of people groaned about it. Why are we
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: getting so much of this guy? And now people don't
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: say anything at all. Maryland football closed this past week
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: as a 1.5 point favorite underdog, a point and a half.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: They lost by 51. The 49 and a half point
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: swing against the spread is one of the largest in
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the history of organized football, a defeat of almost incomprehensible proportions.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: They closed... as a 1.5 underdog and lost by 49.5,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: one of the biggest swings ever in Vegas. Also, we'll
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: get into lines for this week. Just to tell you
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: a couple real quick. I mean, Ole Miss in the clubhouse,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I don't think they mind about that. State is a 5.5-point
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: underdog against Alabama. That totals at 59.5. Florida is a 4.5-point
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: favorite at Missouri this weekend. That totals at 56.5. Tennessee
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and Auburn... Auburn is a 7.5-point underdog on the road
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to Tennessee. Texas A & M, which looks like straight boo-boo,
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: they are minus 14.5. They are a favorite against Arkansas. Kentucky,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: South Carolina. South Carolina desperately needs a win. Kentucky would
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: like to keep winning. They're 24th in the country in
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the AP. South Carolina, minus 2.5. Georgia is a 24.5-point
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: favorite over Vandy. And there is no line on Mercer
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: and LSU. Essentially, they have a bye week. We're brought

• 11:32
  Speaker 3: here real quick. Let me go over to the text line.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: I got an unnamed texter. You can text us 601-885-3776.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: The headset issue also happened right after they talked about
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: radio security for the president at the game. Well, that
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: is true. And it could have been, you know, with everything,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: you know, I have no idea what that whole deal
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: looks like behind the scenes with radios and such, but
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: it could have been too much equipment in there. causing
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: interference and that kind of stuff. You know, we had
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that issue in Starville Friday night. We had a lot
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: of people crammed in one little space, two different deals,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: and there was some interference with, you know, and again,
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: this is a Bill Wilson deal, not a me deal. So,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: all right, let's see here. Will, happy Monday beef. All right,
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Jake Wim. I know we're discussing college ball at the moment,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: but we've got to get to the bottom of this
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Brandon double extra point. This Brandon double extra point after
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the Starville penalty. I don't think that was supposed to happen.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Brandon having to re-kick an extra point because of a
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: penalty on the defense just makes zero sense. First time
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: I've ever seen a team have to replay a scoring
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: play because it was a defensive penalty. Okay, I know
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: what you think, what you speak of. All right, so
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: the Brandon Starkville game on Friday night was wild. Absolutely wild.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Probably the wildest game on Friday night in the state.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Brandon opens up the game. and throws a screen pass
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: that goes 75 yards to play one. Tyson Robinson housed
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: that thing. They did some pre-snap eye candy, got Starkville
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: to move around a little bit, got them out of
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: position and scored. Then they kicked an onside kick. They
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: got it. Speaking of, did you see the drop kick
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: by Tennessee Saturday? That just blew me away. I know
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: that's a harder kick, but anyway. Got the onside kick,
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: fumbled it right back to Starkville. That game was... Let's see.
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: No.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: 14 to nothing. And then it ended up 17-17 at
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: the half. They traded a couple scores. But the play
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Will's talking about, I think they might have blown that call, Will.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: We were talking about that. Brandon kicked an extra point.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: It was offsides. And then instead of just giving an
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: opportunity to accept it, they just moved it up five
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: more and you had to re-kick it again. So there
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: was a lot of confusion there. But Brandon goes on
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: to double overtime to beat Starkville. That's a really good
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Starkville team. That was their first loss of the season.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Maybe the only team that can be too below in
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the North, the way they play, the way they play.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But we'll see. It's a long way to go. But, yeah,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that was a very, very fun game. I think that
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: was just a blowing call. JC, good afternoon, gentlemen. You
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: know why I'm here, Jake. I'm going to give you
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: an opportunity to change the name. And if you don't,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I'll be back during the 5 o'clock hour when you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: have the highest audience to expose you to the maximum
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: amount of this.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I went 5-5 this weekend. It was a push this weekend.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: What's he talking about?
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: What he's talking about is you actually went three and seven.
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: Where did you get this two-game difference? I just counted
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: your stuff earlier. You were three and seven, Jake. See
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: what he's talking about? That's what he's talking about, exposing you.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I'm going to have to go double-check this.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you are.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to have to go double-check this.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: JC, you see? You see what I'm talking about?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Let me go check this. White Denzel. The Tennessee drop
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: kick onside kick. was illegal according to the sec after
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the game really i mean i'll tell you this it
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: was weird it was a weird weird weird kick so
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: all right let me move along and jc i'll go
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: check that and look if i went three and seven
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: i went three and seven so it's just a couple
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: games under 500 we keep rolling into the next week
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: all right here we go we'll get into the athletic

• 15:29
  Speaker 3: historic start at Miami. First QB in 30 years with
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: more TDs than incompletions through four games. Best completion percentage
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: in the last 22 years. Have you paid attention to
• 15:38

  Speaker 4: No.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: I mean, I see his numbers. You know what I
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: find interesting about Miami? I just learned this actually last Friday.
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: I didn't learn it, but I never really actually paid
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: attention to it. Here we are week four of the season.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: You know, that is the first Saturday game Miami has
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: played this year.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You know, week one, they opened on a Thursday. I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: think this is how it went. Thursday.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: Anyway, the first three weeks, there was one Thursday game
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: and two Friday games.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: TV. And Friday, by the way, we were off.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, so when I got home, I got home Friday afternoon.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: About 3 o'clock.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: At 3 o'clock... I noticed there was a college football
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: game being played, and they were at halftime at 3
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: o'clock on, I can't remember, I think Army.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: I think you're right.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But they were at halftime on a Friday.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: So my first thought was there must be some sort
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: of emergency situation. Maybe wherever they are, there's some bad weather.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: So they wanted to move it to a Friday to
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: get ahead of it. Nope, just ESPN just wanted a
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: triple header for that afternoon and evening.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: So you're playing a college football game at 2 o'clock
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: on a Friday afternoon.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: That just seemed real stupid to me. Yeah.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: No, it really did. Let's see here. DX. Come on, Jake.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Don't be dishonest. No, the picks are out there. The
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: picks are out there for you to see. I counted
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: it quickly, and I could have miscounted. It was yesterday,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: just in the fly of stuff. I said, well, I
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: think 1, 2, 3, 4. So, yeah, let me just
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: look at it again. If I went 3-7, it's 3-7. JC,
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: as always, Beavis correct. After that move he just pulled,
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I will definitely be back in the 5 o'clock hour. JC,
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: we look forward to you coming back in the 5
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: o'clock hour.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: 601-885-3776.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Darian Mensah is just rolling. And also, talking about
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: sports gaming, perfect betting records so far this year through
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: college football teams that are 4-0 against the spread. 4-0
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: against the spread.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Duke, Georgia.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Georgia State, James Madison, Mississippi State, New Mexico, Oregon State, UCLA,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: and Utah. Teams that are 0-4 against the spread, Arizona, Buffalo,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Georgia Tech, Indiana, and I do want to touch on Indiana.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: They had a time against Northwestern, Old Dominion, San Diego State,
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: and Washington. But first, let's go over to the Mississippi
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: Sports Medicine caller line. Louisville George on line one. George,
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: happy Monday.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: Happy Monday. Everybody good?
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Man, we're good.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: How are you?
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm okay. I mean, I'm good as far
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: as me, but... Okay. My Louisville Cardinals. In 23, Notre
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Dame was eighth, I believe. And we went to Notre
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Dame and beat them. And then conveniently lost to whoever...
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: that we should not have lost to at home. 24, Clemson,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: rank number 10 comes in. We beat them. Then we
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: go on the road and lose to NC State or
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: somebody that we were double-digit favorites. Last year, a lot
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of y'all will remember this game. We went to Miami
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and really shocked my number two Miami on a Friday night.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: probably came back and lost to a freaking, who knows,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Sanford or somebody. And then we beat SMU, who was
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: like 15 or 16 or something, and we come home
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and lose to Wake Forest. Now, that's not a pattern.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Would you not say that's a pattern?
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pattern. I mean, and I get where
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: you're going. You know, Wake is three and one. That's
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: a team that lost to Miami by 12. They played
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the Canes as close as anybody. I don't know that
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: they're going to be a bad loss at the end
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: of the year, but I get the frustration for sure.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, you beat SMU by 10.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, to me, and I love Jeff Brom, I mean,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: but the coach has got to take responsibility for this,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and there's something that's got to be said for– either
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: for not having the team ready or the team still
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: living on the laurels of the past weekend or whatever.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: But I just wanted to throw that out there because
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: it's a real interesting stat. Then we go to the
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers. And Bieber's favorite quarterback, the 53-year-old kid, Aaron Rodgers,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: who I still don't like. But yesterday he played well.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: They finally started giving Warren the freaking ball. And the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: defense showed up, and we beat the Bengals, which was
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: a good win.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: That was a good win.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I was like, for B, since you always ask at
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the end of the show, do we have anything on
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers to at least, you know, a couple weeks ago,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: he was talking about he's married, and he's talking about his,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: what is it, Danica Patrick, and then the other one.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was very weird.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, dude, leave it alone, you know? Anyway,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I love the show. Thank you, Lord, for football.
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: Y'all have a good one.
• 21:11

• 22:37
  Speaker 8: Well, I've got all the videos from this morning's press
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: conference put up. Just finished my feature with Anthony Evans
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: for the day. The sideline fact that we never thought
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: we'd hear in a press conference was that he changed
• 22:53
  Speaker 8: the game around for himself Saturday against Missouri by changing
• 22:58
  Speaker 8: his underwear during the game. Actually, his tights. He said
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: he'd never worn tights in a game. I guess whatever
• 23:04
  Speaker 8: possessed him to wear them against Missouri, I don't know.
• 23:07
  Speaker 8: But he did, and he didn't produce the first half.
• 23:10
  Speaker 8: So he said he took it all off at halftime,
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: came out, had a great game. and I'm showing a
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: little bit of restraint in my story. I did not
• 23:20
  Speaker 8: include a line in there about how he's left a
• 23:23
  Speaker 8: whole lot of defenders having to change their drawers after
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: a catch and passes. Maybe that would have been pushing
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: the bounds of good taste, but you have fun with
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: it while you can here.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt, and I think we all can agree
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: if you've watched three play, he definitely does that. The
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: layout catch that he had, I don't know that I've
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: seen a receiver. It's been a while. I mean, you
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: could maybe go to you know, Tony at Miami, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: a guy that can catch a screen pass and get
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: up the sideline as quickly as he can. I mean,
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: that's an automatic five to seven. Boy, what a player
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: they got with him.
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: Well, it's something you said there. It reflects the question
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: I asked to Jeff Levy and some of the players
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: this morning as well, too. You know, Fluff Bothwell and
• 24:04
  Speaker 8: Colin Wilson rightfully get their due for the number of
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: tackles they break or the defenders they drag along. These
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: wide receivers do the same thing. You noticed the other night,
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: Missouri's most physical team states played so far. They made
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: them work for everything they got, a lot of first contact,
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: and the Bulldog receivers generally didn't go down. They spun
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: off for extra yards, or they even just physically took
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: the defender along. And the thing about all those is
• 24:30
  Speaker 8: that extra two or three yards there, you know, Libby
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: calls it a plus two, it really made a bunch
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: of mediocre first-down plays into makeable second down plays because
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: they simply came back, and what if they don't make
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: anything on that first down? Little things like that are
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: where I see a difference in this offense. Yeah, we
• 24:51
  Speaker 8: all look at the explosive plays, and they are the headliner,
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: but there's just not many negative plays or unproductive plays
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: by this offense either, especially once Camario settles down, gets
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: in a groove with his receivers, and the line figures
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: out how they want to attack the defenders as well.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: So to me, that's kind of a side story on
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: this team. And Evans also said they've actually practiced that.
• 25:14
  Speaker 8: They put them in the running back drills. They have
• 25:16
  Speaker 8: to run through those pads, which smack them pretty hard
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: when they're carrying the ball, even in places, like he said,
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: where you don't want to get hit. But it prepares
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: them for the moments in the game, and that's how
• 25:26
  Speaker 8: he was able to make that big catch on a very,
• 25:28
  Speaker 8: very hard landing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Speaking with David Murray, Gene's page, 247sports. com. Talking Mississippi State,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: they get a 31-24 victory over Missouri. They'll host Alabama
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: coming up Saturday. Uh, David, again, the toughness of this team, uh,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: you know, and, and just the, this team's going to
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: play four quarters, right? I mean, we saw kind of
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: an inverse of last week with South Carolina. They go
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: up 14, they give up 24 unanswered. They continue to battle.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: They don't get flustered and they close it out with
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: a win. And that to me is one of the
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: more impressive things with this team.
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: Well, it really is. Um, I'm not going to say
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: it and get flustered a little bit because you still
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: see how the that was not a pretty way to conclude.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: You've got to come away with three points there. And boy,
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: that three points would have looked a whole lot better
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: by the end of the third quarter as well. They
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: still overcame that, just like they overcame the end of
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: the first half of South Carolina as well. My only
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: concern there, and I hate to harp on the negatives
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: in those regards, is simply that you can't do those
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: things against a better opponent. Missouri is what you'd call
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: a pure opponent, and State was able to take them
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: on physical terms and beat them and in front of
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: a really genuinely electric setting there, and a pretty feisty
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: Missouri team as well. There were some emotions down there
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: on the field, and Missouri just plays that way, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: they kind of get you out of the game, get
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: a little chippy sometimes. The state kept the composure, made
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: it happen. But now you're going against an Alabama team
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: that it's not the Alabama of the past, obviously. I've
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: got a Tide reporter who will be calling in sometime soon,
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: wants to talk about the history of the series, and
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: as probably the only still working member of the crew
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: that saw Mississippi State's one win over Bear Bryant as
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: well as the one win over Nick Saban. I think
• 27:08
  Speaker 8: I'm qualified to comment there. But this is a game
• 27:13
  Speaker 8: I think State's got a really good chance. And I
• 27:17
  Speaker 8: will tell you this, too. I asked the PR director.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: I thought things were maybe a little tense this morning
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: in the press conference. He said, no, it wasn't that.
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: He said it's just focus, that they immediately shut out
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: the Missouri game and turned entirely on Sunday morning to
• 27:31
  Speaker 8: Alabama game. Now that is a kind of maturity that
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: we haven't seen around here in a while. Let's be
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: blunt about it. We have not seen a team able
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: to come off a big emotional win like that and
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: focus quickly on the next game, which could and should
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: be even bigger.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt. Alabama comes to Davis-White Stadium this Saturday.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: David Camario-Taylor with a little limp during the ballgame. Fluff
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: Bothwell out of the ballgame for a bit. Also, on
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the defensive side, you've got a couple players with Smith
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: and some others. I know it's probably too early on
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: a Monday, but any updates on health of players?
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: We did not get any update on Isaac Smith. It
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: was asked directly, and Levy said he'll let the SEC's
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: availability report speak for him. I think he'll be able
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: to go this weekend. I'm not concerned at all about Camario,
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: and I'm absolutely not concerned about Fluff because anytime Fluff
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: Boswell comes off to be a limping or a little
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: slower gimpy, here's the words you got to remember. Think
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: about the other guy because that's the one who's really
• 28:30
  Speaker 8: going to be hurting after whatever contact that was. No,
• 28:33
  Speaker 8: Fluff's going to be fine, but you saw what Colin
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: Wilson could do when he comes in in those situations.
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: He's just a very underrated part of this offense in
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: some ways, even better in the passing game as far
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: as making moves after the catch like that. So it's
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: just fascinating to see the toys, if you want to
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: put it that way, that Jeff Libby has to work
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: with on this offense, that Camario Taylor has to work with.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: And I've already done some numbers and things like that.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: He's only started six games. He's only 19 years old.
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: And already Camario Taylor has more offense than some entire
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Mississippi State teams have had in the past. That is really,
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: it's almost happening so fast and so easily, you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: in quotation marks, that you're almost not even appreciating just
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: how remarkable the This quick development by Camario Taylor really is.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: No, you're right. It's one of those moments, and we
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: say this a lot in sports, they kind of slow
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: it down and try to absorb it because it's one
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: of those deals you'll look back at it and go, wow,
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: that was that was a heck of a run um
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: let me ask you about uh the weather um it
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: looks like it might rain do we know i mean
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: i know that you can't control the weather but it
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: looks like i'm looking at 80 85 chance for saturday
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: hopefully that will you know dissipate yeah.
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: I think the rain is going to move through a
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: little faster but at this point i don't want to
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: rain obviously because this is a team built on speed
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: and i think That certainly would play to State's favor, but,
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: you know, what the heck? Both sides have to play
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: in the rain. It's been a while. I know I'm
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: looking at my yard right now thinking, yeah, I could
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: probably use a little water on this thing right now
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: as well. But, no, I'm just going to say that
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: the team is going to take that totally out of
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: their preparations, much like they take the ranking out of
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: their thoughts there. It's nice. Maybe they'll rain. Maybe it won't.
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: But you can prepare regardless.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: So.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: I would rule that out entirely. Just don't even put
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: that in fact you're thinking. Just show up because this
• 30:31
  Speaker 8: is going to be, you know, Saturday night was what
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: Scott Field and Davis Way Stadium were like in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: great days of Dak and Mullen or Jackie Sherrill years
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: and those things. Here's a chance to get it back
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: on an extended stretch now against an old rival, which
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: State hasn't played in a couple years now. So we're
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: going to renew acquaintances with a crosstown team. By the way,
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: I just saw that Alabama was going to drive in
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: that morning and I don't expect any help from the
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: police in reforming guard or slowing down the home state
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: team coming. Unlike when we go the other way, but hey,
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: what the heck. If everybody shows up on time, the
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: game's going to go off at 11 on Saturday morning,
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: and let's see what next step Mississippi State can take
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: in its road in this comeback that Jeff Levy and
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: the staff and this team are putting together.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you one more question. I appreciate your time.
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: On the time of the game, and again, there's nothing
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: you can do about it, Um, you know, these networks
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: have changed the way they do things. Uh, you know,
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: the Fox really kind of started this with taking, you know,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: the big 10 noon, you know, big 10 noon kickoff
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: or whatever they called it. Um, I mean, you've got
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: the open windows in the afternoon where you got LSU
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: and McNeese last week, we saw Tennessee and Texas kickoff,
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: you know, in that 11 o'clock hour. Um, any thoughts
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: on that? We can't do anything. This is just us
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: spitballing about the times here. You know, your brain goes,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: this will be a great night game. but it's teed
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: up as the biggest game in the conference, which now
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: they're moving to, ABC moves to that noon Eastern slot.
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: Well, look at it this way. I mean, Ole Miss, Florida,
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: why was that not an evening game?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 32:03
  Speaker 8: Texas, Tennessee, for that matter as well. So I don't
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: know what's going through the network's people's minds. And, of course,
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: obviously you and I have no control over that. Should
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: this be an evening game? Absolutely. It's not. And all
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: the more reason, too, because evening games do tend to
• 32:18
  Speaker 8: favor the home teams. Visiting teams tend to like these
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: 11 o'clock games as well, so maybe tip a little
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: bit of advantage to Alabama. Less time to hang around
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: and think about things. Just get over, get dressed, play ball.
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: So it's frustrating in that regard, and I know it's
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: frustrating for fans. The SEC, you'd think, would have a
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: little more input on what the schedule is going to
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: be like. But again, Jake, as you and I both
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: have learned many years ago, TV schedules our lives for
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: us these days.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: There's no doubt. There's no doubt. Make sure to get
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: them at jeanspage247sports. com. They'll keep you teed up all the
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: way to kickoff and beyond. David, thank you so much.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Have a great week, and we'll do it again soon.
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: And as always, a reminder that Brian O'Connor's baseball team
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: is scrimmaging. I got to watch him yesterday. Sean James
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: drops a grand slam out of the yard and a
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: blowout win for his team in the scrimmage games. And
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: I just like what I've seen from the Diamond Dogs.
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: The three scrimmages I've watched, I think they're definitely faster
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: than They certainly swing for more power this year. Eh,
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: still maybe some, I say faster. I'm not sure about
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: the base running talent at this moment. Defense has taken shape,
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: I think, quite nicely. So, a lot to get excited about,
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: and there'll be open scrimmages again this weekend at Doodle
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: Field on Friday and Sunday. So, uh, Keep tuned for
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: that and a chance to watch these guys go at
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: it and get an advanced look at the 2027 Bulldog
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: baseball team.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: It'll be here before you know it. David, thank you
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: so much. We'll do it again next week. Thank you.
• 33:47

  Speaker 1: He's got that along with the hottest sports stories of

  Speaker 1: the day on ESPN 105.9 The Zone and online at TheZone1059. com.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Appreciate David Murray jumping in here, talking Mississippi State. Big
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: one against Bama coming up Saturday, 11 o'clock kick. Hey,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: on this day in 1951, Norm Van Brocklin threw it
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: for an NFL record, 554 yards, the closest anyone has
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: come since the 527. Matt Schwab and Warren Moon did it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: Believe it or not, Van Brocklin threw for 491 more
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: yards than his opponent, the New York Yanks, the greatest
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: difference in NFL history. So that is a big differential
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: there in passing.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: All right.

• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Take Dr. Pepper with you.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I looked at my picks. I was four and six.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Even I looked at it. Four and six. So they
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: said three and seven. I said five and five is
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: four and six. So I missed a hook on one game.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I think you're still giving yourself credit for an extra game.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: No, the games are out there. You can go back
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: and look at them.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Stay in three and seven.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: One in the NFL. You have disputed. Three in college. Hey,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: it was under 500. It was under 500. So it
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: got punched around a little bit. All right, let's see here. Mr. DX,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: talk about David. Did he say draws?
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he did.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: He did. Or draw or... I say draws.
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: Drawers.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: How do you say?
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Change draws.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: Change draws. Possum neck Joe. I lay out for the
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: pass every day. That's in reference to Anthony Evans' catch
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: the other night. You think Joe? Joe probably does, doesn't he?
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: I'll give it to Joe.
• 37:12
  Speaker 7: He does.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: And JC. I thought he was coming back in the
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: 5 o'clock hour. He's back here at the end of
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: hour number one. In addition to the above, I love
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: that Jake was championing that he was Five and five
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: on a weekend. Spoiler alert, that was also not winning.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: That's break even. JC, you got to play the whole season.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Gator Matt.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: I have kept all those receipts. What is he talking about?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, who are you, Coach Prime? I've kept the receipts. Oh,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Gator Matt feeling himself today.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: Careful. You got to go to Missouri this weekend. That
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: could be a little trap game there. Could be.
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Could it?
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Maybe.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: You know, looking at the first month, Texas hasn't looked great,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: have they? No, not at all. They've not looked good.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: They're undefeated. Indiana, Kurt Cignetti, did you hear what he
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: said last week? He was talking about people griping about
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: some of his fans, and I can't remember. I have
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: to go back and find the quote. Just the griping
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: by some of the fan base, and he said, let's
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: not forget who you were before I got here or
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: something like that. Oh, yeah.
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: Whoa.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Signetti was. And I'm paraphrasing that. Yes, Signetti was.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: God, you know what's so sad?
• 38:33
  Speaker 6: See, it's comments like that where he continues to show what.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: A jerk he is. God, that dude sucks. I hate him.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: I hate his face.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: I hate everything about his egotistical soul. but he's not wrong.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: That's the sad part about it. He's not wrong when
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: he says it.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Let me see if I can find the exact quote,
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: but you know, Northwestern gave them all they wanted. They
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: did not play well. And look, that's going to happen.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know why this thing won't go any further
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: than that. Um, that's going to happen. I'll have to
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: try to find what he said last week. Um, let's
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: see here. Let me just see if this little search here,
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: I'll give it to me. Um, Oh, here it is.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: On fan expectations, he said, what are we, 29-2? When
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: I came, I saw the pictures. 10,000 people in the stands.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Don't bitch about being 30. about a 38 to nothing
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: win so he said and he did say in another
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: piece he said don't forget who you were before I
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: got here and there's that face there it is right
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: there Kurt Cignetti so I don't know how good I
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: mean how good is Georgia I'll tell you what we
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: do know. Oklahoma's bad. Texas A & M' s not good.
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: And they've got $ 40 million rosters. Let's see. So Gator
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Mattis kept receipts. Buffalo Chris, I won more on one bet.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: Let's see. What did Chris do here? Let's see. He's
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: got a parlay plus $ 12. 75. He took the Lions over Detroit.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: Detroit.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: These are Moneyline bets, Pittsburgh Steelers, Kansas City Chiefs, Cowboys, Bills,
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: and Jags. And it looks like you might have cleaned up.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: Buffalo Chris, good job. DX, are you up or down
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: on your picks? Right now, I'm down, DX. But, I mean,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: it's still early. This has been a tough year for
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: everybody so far, one month in. But, I mean, look.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Just look at it like this. It's a football game.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: We just got through the first quarter. And we're down
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: just a little bit. You know, we got down early
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: in the first quarter. We came back a little bit.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: So we're down in the first quarter. We're going to
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: come back and have a great second quarter. That's what
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: good teams do, right? That's what good teams do. All right,
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: let's see here. Miami is a heavy favorite over Clemson.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: They are going to destroy Clemson. Miami, courtesy of Polymarket,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: 88% of the money coming in on the Canes. And
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State is 4-0 against the spread this year. Something
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: to think about. Something to think about. So is Duke
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: and Georgia. But again... I put out my eyeball test
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: rankings today, and this is what my rankings are, no analytics.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: In the SEC, Georgia No. 1, Florida No. 2, Bama 3,
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Texas 4, State 5, Ole Miss 6, followed by LSU, Missouri, Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky, Vanderbilt,
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, Texas A & M, and Oklahoma right at
