  Speaker 1: over on the PrizePix app. Jay, Tennessee just cannot stay
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: out of the bad news. More bad news with another
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: season-ending injury today. Is Tennessee going to have anybody left
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: by the time we get to October, November for these games?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: I tell you, it goes to show you how important
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: the next man up is. I hate it for these
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: guys that I know the effort that they put in
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: to get to the point to get to play.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: And I remember when I lived at Gibbs Hall back.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: In the 80s and I was playing on the golf team,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: which obviously we didn't have to worry about all these
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: injuries and stuff. But I called it General Hospital because
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: there was always a dozen guys in boots and slings
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and just were always hurt all the time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And it's no different now. You know, even though they've got.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Better equipment and better medical care and all that, you're
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: still at such a violent sport and just get hurt
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: all the time. This is a lot of guys out
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for the season for Tennessee, and we had such a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: bad offseason. But it's very– this is why I don't
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: mind them making really good money. Because I'm telling you,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you're talking about having your knee taken out like that.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: That has long-term ramifications when he's 40, 50 that as
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I get older, I realize that those nagging things come
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: back and you have to revisit them.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: It is tough. Tennessee offensively, a lot of weapons and stuff,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: but they've also got a lot. Like I just said,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you talked about the next man up. They've got a
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: lot of weapons. How big of a blow is this?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: It hurts because this is one of Faison's favorite targets.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: He's already thrown two touchdowns to him. And this is
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: a guy that he worked with a lot in the offseason.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it hurts.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And this is our first big offensive loss. Mainly we've
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: gotten really hurt on the defense. And you know you're
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: going to have some injuries, obviously, as the season goes on. But, yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: this one hurts because he's comfortable throwing the ball.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: To this guy.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Did you– thinking about the Georgia Tech game for just
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: a minute, because I know it's been a few days
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: since it happened– I was really impressed, and I said
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: this in my recap. I was really impressed with the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: way that Tennessee responded because I thought that you're playing
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: on the road, true freshman quarterback, loud stadium. Georgia Tech's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: got nothing to lose because they'd already lost to Colorado.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Their season probably isn't going to turn out the way
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it wants to. You have something fluky go on, like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: a blocked punt for a touchdown. It's just things that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: are out of your control. I thought the response by
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Tennessee and the composure by Brandon, to be very fair,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: he was the true freshman quarterback that could have very
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: easily just– screw the pooch and throw two interceptions in
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the second quarter to make a deficit, a worse deficit.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He looks so mature. And it wasn't his best game.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I think we can all agree with that. But I
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: do think that the response was really good, and then
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: they ended up running him off the field for the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: next three quarters.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a bit of a trap game that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I was concerned about going into it because I knew
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: that Georgia Tech would be desperate. I mean, they were
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: a very desperate team. They've lost– They lost five of
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the last six. Now they've lost six out of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: last seven. They're learning how to lose. And I know
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: that Brent Key was doing everything in his power to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: motivate those guys to give it everything they had. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: think that our fan base played a key role in
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: turning the tides a little bit because they were having
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: trouble with the noise. Their center, who wasn't their starting center,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: was struggling with the noise problem of the Tennessee Vols
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: fan base in their home stadium, which I'm with. That
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: really makes a big difference over time if your fan
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: base travels well, and ours does.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: It was the Bobby Dodd takeover instead of the Ohio
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: State takeover. I'll tell you, there is nothing like Tennessee fans.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: We both get them all in the comments all the time,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: all the guys and stuff. The way that they're able
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: to travel, and obviously, how far is Knoxville from Atlanta?
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: You probably have so many transplants that live there anyway.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it was impressive because it was, you know, you're not
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: supposed to be able to do that. I don't even
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: know that Georgia fully does that when they play that
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: rivalry game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was supposedly, well, I tell you, the Georgia
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Tech fan, I showed his reaction on rec talk. He
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: said it was 50 to 55% in his opinion. My
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: brother felt like it was about that and he was
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: there and he took a whole crew with him and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he was very impressed. He was like, man, he said,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I almost feel like It's a little bit like being
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: at home and he was walking down the... the frat
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: row and all that. And there was tons of Tennessee fans.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: And he was like, man, he's like, this is great.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Can't complain about that. I'll get right back to chatting
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: with sports talk, Jay. But first I want to tell
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: you about our friends over alumni hall. I'll tell you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: guys about this weekly, but again, if you are shopping
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: for Tennessee volunteers gear, do it at the place that
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: has the largest and best game day selection in the game.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: It's alumni hall, whether you're in person heading to the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: game or whether you're shopping online, alumni hall.com. Use my
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: code CFA 15. That's for college football addiction, 15, You'll
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: say 15% on your order again, both online and in store.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: We appreciate alumni hall for their support. Now back to Jay.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That's a, that's certainly fun. Um, obviously the, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: the game against Kennesaw state, I don't know how much
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: time we just spent on that, but looking ahead a week,
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: just big picture thoughts on Tennessee and Texas.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: That's where everything's headed. You know, this will be a, a,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: a warmup game. Of course, uh, I saw Coach Heupel,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: they brought that up to me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: He's like, no, no, there's no warm-up games. Go ahead.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Because he has to do that, which I totally understand.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: But that's kind of what this is going to be.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And then we're going to have the number one team
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: in the country coming to Neyland. It's going to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: at noon, which is annoying. But here's the thing. It's exciting,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and that's why we really like Heupel, because we know
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we have a chance to win every single game we're
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: in against whoever we're playing. because that offense gives you
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a chance. It always keeps you in the game, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: you can score two or three touchdowns in a quarter
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: very easily with that offense, and he's proven that over
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the last six years.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: So I'm pumped.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I know we won't be favored in this game, but
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: this is the whole point of football is these great
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: situations where you've got the number one team coming in
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and you might just take them down.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I tell you, they got to play
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that Ohio State game at home. It was a phenomenal
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: comeback game of the year type stuff. A lot of fun.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It is different going in with a hundred thousand. I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: maybe there'll be used to the orange, but I don't
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: know if there'll be so used to the noise that'll
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: happen there. Big one in Oxford this weekend with LSU
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and Lane Kiffin heading back home, kind of temporary home.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to exactly say that, but LSU
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: heading back to Oxford this I would talk about the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: things that, you know, don't compare. Nothing compares to a, well,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: maybe the Tennessee one later in the year, but nothing
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: will compare this weekend to what Lane Kiffin is walking
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: into in Oxford, Mississippi.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in for it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Like we were talking before, I hope that the Ole
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Miss fans don't do anything that he can use against
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: them later or the national media will, but I know
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he's going to hear about it in a way that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: It's going to be probably worse than the Tennessee situation
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: when he came back to play or when Ole Miss
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: came up to play Tennessee back in, I think it was,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I can't remember what year that was, I think 21.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: And he was fake injuring, I think it was 12
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: fake injuries that he had in that game.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: And I've documented many of those.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: If he starts that crap with Ole Miss, I don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: know if the crowd can handle that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So, you know, hopefully it's a pretty straight up game.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: It should be a great game. because Trinidad Chambliss is
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: an excellent QB. They've got a really good one, too.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I think it's going to be an absolute barn burner.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the fun. I'll tell you what is underrated
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: or interesting. There's two other games that I kind of
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: have my eye on, and they're not marquee like that.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: But that's the game of the week. Auburn versus Florida
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is a lot of fun. Two coaches that were hired
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the same time. The Auburn coach and the Auburn quarterback
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: beat the Gators in the swamp last year. And the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Florida coach is who Auburn, they won't admit this now,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but it's really who Auburn wanted. And I think Summerall
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was going to Auburn before Lane told Florida no thanks.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So yeah.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Cause what was it?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Summerall was going to interview with Florida and they threw
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a dadgum fit.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And he, they were like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So I, uh, the, the storylines in this one are fun.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And then you got two coaches. They're hired at the
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: same time to, to, you know, see kind of who's ahead.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: And then, uh, SMU in Louisville is a really fun one.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: I think that's for second place in the ACC. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: so I know that's not as exciting as, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: LSU Ole Miss or anything, but there's good games. Um,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: who wins LSU Ole Miss?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, boy.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: That's a tough one.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: It looks like LSU, but I tell you that home
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: court advantage is going to be huge. I think Ole
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Miss might pull some sort of upset or something. Darn it,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Lane's so lucky, though.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: He frustrates you.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I know, he does. He's just got a rabbit's foot.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: stuck up his rear end.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: LSU will probably win, but I'm going to be, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: got a root for Ole Miss. I don't have any choice.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: And that's, I actually liked the LSU fan base. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: get along with them fine. And of course they've got
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: the greatest food in the world. So I really haven't,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: but he, that whole thing with Lane, I couldn't have
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: him go to Florida because that would have just, that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: would have been overwhelmingly negative for me had.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: He done that.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: So I wanted him to go to LSU, but now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I kind of like LSU folks. so yeah this is
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: frustrating for me I'm gonna root for Ole Miss though.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Uh who wins Summerall or Gullish Auburn Florida.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Man maybe Florida I'm gonna have to I'm gonna get
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: floor the edge but I I'm not I'm not sure
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: what they've got at Florida, and I'm not sure what
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: they've got at Auburn either. They didn't impress me against Baylor,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: and I don't know. Maybe Florida edges. It's at Florida, correct?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: No, no, it's in the Plains. Oh, it is.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I'll give Auburn the edge then.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Weird things happen in Jordan-Hare.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: It's that close, yeah. There are some crazy things that
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: do happen there.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: They got the, it's, it's spooky town around there when
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that happens. So last one for you is this, you
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: were complaining about your AD a few months ago. Can
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: we have him? Can we, can we have him in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Tallahassee or are you, are you, have you ended that bridge?
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I'm okay with him now. Hey, look, I'm somebody that
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: will forgive. If you've, if you correct your issue, I will.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Get over it because he does some things really well,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: which is raise money. And he understands you've got to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: have a winner there. He's won me back over with
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the basketball and the baseball portal. And if he'll continue
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: that with the football, he won't have any trouble with me,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: even though I know he's not everybody's fan favorite. He's
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: building Danny's dream house over there, which is fine. As
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: long as he's making sure that we're competitive at the
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: top level, you know, top 10 level, he's.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Not going to have any trouble out of me.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: The only person you won't forgive is the head coach
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: down there in Baton Rouge, I believe.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't forgive.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't want to.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: And plus, here's the thing about Lane. We really needed
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a villain in this sport. It's always good to have one.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: As I've said many times, without the shark, Jaws is
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: just a fishing trip. Yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: You need the shark, and he makes a great one.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: He does a good job with it. So Sports Talk
