• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: We'll we'll go down the uh Mississippi State schedule and make predictions about what we think our record's gonna be at the end of the season, break down a little bit about you know just what we think about each game, and then of course, y'all stay tuned every week because we'll have weekly episodes where we actually dive a little bit deeper into the game that's coming up that week and hopefully have some guests on that have some kind of connection to the school where um you know the school is that we're playing.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, when we play UT in a few weeks, we can get Matthew McConaughey on.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_02: I know you've been looking for that for a while, Johnny.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_02: So McConaughey, if anybody's associated with McConaughey, if you're listening, uh UT game, I think it's September 28th.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_02: So come on whenever you're ready.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're ready for you.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm planning to go to that game in person and I'm planning on sitting in McConaughey's box seats while I'm sitting up there.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: I'm staying at his house.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna stay stay in the air uh airstream in his yard and you know, we're just gonna make the best of it.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I definitely think you should.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh, we'll do a quick update about what's going on on our side uh in terms of uh cystic fibrosis fundraising and and everything like that.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: Then we'll get into the episode.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_02: But uh if you don't know who we are, we are Johnny and BW.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: Johnny suffers from a lung disease called cystic fibrosis, and this podcast is to help us raise money so that we can make donations to the cystic fibrosis foundation so more people like Johnny can get meds they need and support research and everything like that.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: But we have a coffee company.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_02: If you go to our website, johnnypacker.net, look on there.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: We have all kinds of coffee.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: The coffee is actually roasted in the state of Mississippi at High Point Roasters up in New Albany.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: So if you order a bag of coffee, it gets roasted basically the day or two after you order it.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: It gets shipped to you within a week if you're somewhere close to us in Mississippi and you are getting a great bag of coffee, plus, you're supporting a good cause.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_02: So if you're a coffee drinker, quit going to Program Buying Folgers, go to Johnnypacker.net, order some coffee, support us, and we won't ask you for anything else.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: Just order some coffee.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and like you said, it's it goes towards good cause.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: If you've been listening, y'all know all about this.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: I have CF.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm 43.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: When I was born, life speaks was 15.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: So I can tell people I'll uh out kick my coverage.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: But the way that modern medicine is today, we have a miracle drug called Tricafta.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're born with CF today, they expect you to live to in your 60s, uh, 61, I believe, is life expecty for someone born with cystic fibrosis today.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I have 43 years of damaged lungs, so uh, so I was born a little bit too soon uh for tricafta.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: I got tricapta, thank God, but the damage had already been done to my lungs.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: But what we're happy about with this drug is that it's stopping, hopefully stopping damage from progressing.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like it it stops it.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: So, and I can tell I've been on it since 2019, hard to believe because I was literally they I'm I was dying to get this drug, like literally dying.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I'd already met with the transplant team at UAB and I was down that route because the end stage of CF is a double lung transplant, and uh I was heading there fast and tricaf to save my life.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it really did.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: And uh and it's done that with so many other people with CF, but CF is a genetic disease, means you can't catch it from an internet, you have to be born with it, but uh it deals with your mutations, and there's still 10% of the population have a certain mutation.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: I have a rare mutation, but I have a common mutation as well.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: You have to have two.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the people with CF have those two common CF mutations, and they do fantastic.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: I have a common CF mutation, I have a rare mutation.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: That rare mutation is holding me back from being great like all these other people.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_00: But there's 10% that have two rare mutations, so they're not able to take tricapta right now, and they're in the same boat I was before I got tricapta, waiting for something, dying.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, uh, it's it's nothing has changed in their life.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what where our goal is on this podcast is to raise funds and oh spread awareness, let people know, because people in the news probably think, oh, CF is cured, and that's not the case.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's still an ongoing bad.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: If I quit my treatments and only did tricafta, I'd go down fast.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now, people today that were born, you know, like I said earlier, if you're born, say you're BW, say they're you're a college student going to Mississippi State, 20 years old, right now, 18, 20 years old, and you have CF, you can take Tricafta and probably don't have to do your breathing treatments because your lungs are not that damaged.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so uh like I said, it's just uh I'm so blessed that I'm able to benefit off of Tricafta, but um, I just have 43 years worth of lung damage.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: So uh, but our goal is to spread awareness.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: And all you have to do, you know, we were selling eyeglasses like these ones I have on here, uh, and and they're because I love glasses and stuff, and and they were people didn't want to buy them online.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: I get that.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: You want to try them on, but cup of coffee, man.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: A bag of coffee is very affordable.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: And even if you're not a coffee drinker, that's all right.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know someone that likes coffee, someone in your family or friends or coworker, someone likes coffee.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: So just go online, jonypacker.net, buy them a bag of coffee.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_00: And the best part about it is knowing you're you're donating towards a good cause and you're helping, you're making the difference in someone's life who suffers from CF like myself.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: So uh it's a win-win deal all around, like I tell people.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if you're interested in that, johnnypacker.net, support us.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: But now we're here to talk about college football.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: So this season is is kind of an interesting season for Mississippi State.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, it kind of has for me, it has the same feel as Dan Mullen's first season.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: I remember there was some excitement around that.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Uh we didn't really know who he really was, but people had a good feeling about him.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's kind of how I feel about Levy.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_02: And and that season was an exciting season.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, we didn't win as many games as we would like, but we were in a lot of games.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, some games we didn't really expect to win that we were in still.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: And so I'm looking forward to this because I expect to see you know us make some progress throughout the year, maybe compete in some games we're not expected to compete in.
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_02: But the nice thing is there's not as much pressure on this team because we're picked, you know, pretty low as usual, and and the pressure's not there.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: We don't really have to prove anything.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and I kind of like going into games like that.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_02: You you almost, it's like you you don't expect to win, but uh if you put on a good a good game and you know, say we're playing UT, uh if we play them close and and look good, you feel still you still feel pretty good about it, even even though they say there's memorial victories, as our good friend and host Steve says.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: But um, you know, I I'm I'm looking forward to it.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: I think there's gonna be lots of fun games, kind of new, new schedule, new format, new year.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really looking forward to it.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I uh I agree with you on that.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um I just still uh hate to be negative on this thing, but um it's it's you know, usually they pick us they pick us last every year and we never finish last.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: All right, they do that all the time.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this year they picked us last.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: Actually, that it's no east and west anymore, which is kind of weird.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's all everybody's in there.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: So we're actually we're not last.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: We're what 15 out of 16.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: Vandy's always at the bottom, but uh I feel like they actually uh uh are on to something this year because we haven't proven anything.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_00: Jeff Levy hasn't proven anything.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: He's uh he's he's like you said, Dan Mullen coming in.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: Uh no one knows he could be he could be Dan Mullen 2.0, he could be Joe Moorhead 2.0.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: I we don't know yet.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: We're we're all in the we're all kind of waiting to see what happens with that.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, but but looking back on Dan Mullen's year, that first year, you know, I think we finished uh five and seven.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: We missed a ball game that year, but we had we were in, like you just said, we were in all these games which with Kroom the year before, we were getting blown out in every game, just about so that was a sign of progress.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, we're we're we're a uh Anthony Dixon touchdown away from going to a bowl game in Dan Mullen's first year.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: You know, if you remember that LSU game, we uh uh we got stopped four times on the goal line.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: That would have been six wins in a bowl game.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: And every year Dan Mullen was here, but he missed the bowl game that year because of that that situation.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_00: But uh the next year he built off of that per that year and we went to the uh Gator Bowl first time in the years and beat uh Michigan team, who Michigan is a blue blood in college football.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that kind of put Dan on the map, and every year just kept uh building up.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: And then you know, we get Dak later on, and all that goes down and number one in the country.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm not saying Levy's gonna get us number one, but I am saying that he's the safe, he put it this way, he has the safest job in America right now because he's not gonna get fired after year one, even if he goes 0-12.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I mean, he he's back for year two no matter what, but uh he definitely needs to show something uh because last year it's just so frustrating, it's unfortunate it was out of our control because um I mean Mike Leach had it had it going, man.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: He had it going with Will Rogers, and you could see every year uh after Leach's first year, the COVID year when we didn't play all we only played SEC games, and and then in 21 we built off and got got a little bit better.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: 22, we're getting better.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, every year was going up, and then Leach's unfortunate death, and and then Ornette was not ready to be a head coach and coming in changing things up, and it was just disaster last year.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: So we need we need to get that out of the bitter taste of the last year's season out of our mouth.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: But the crazy thing about it is BW, I don't know any of the players on the roster.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: We got all new new guys.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: I I've actually learned some of the players' names by playing NCAA football, the new game on on PlayStation, because it has the guys' names on the roster.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, so I think Jaden Wally is the only guy I can see remember coming that's been there with Leeds, and then uh Creed Whitamore, I believe.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_00: He's I remember him from last year.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: But other than that, this is a whole new team.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_00: So uh so we going into the season, you really can't I mean, are we young or are we are we got transfers in?
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: I I don't really know, but I do know that that uh Levy is is unproven.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: I do know that, and he has his work cut out to at least show make people want to come to these games and put a decent product on the field because if he goes out and has a just terrible year, people are gonna do the same thing they did with Arnick, fire him, fire him, fire him, and he's not getting fired, but it's you don't want to start off like that.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: So I think I wish maybe he'd call Dan Mullin up to say, hey, give me some hits on how you how which he did.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know, but uh it'll be an interesting season for sure.
• 11:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, really the only the only other thing is we talk about this all the time, I feel like, but of course, whole miss uh has has backloaded schedule and you know they don't they don't play anybody until week five or six.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_02: So you know they're gonna be five, six, and oh they're already ranked in the top 10.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know, they if some look losses happen ahead of them, they could be top five, top four team before midway through the season before they even play anybody.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_02: And uh this is one of those years where we know we're gonna be bad and they're supposed to be pretty good.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: And with the expanded college football playoff, you know, we're gonna have to have a bitter pill swallow.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: There's a chance they can make the playoff.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, I I hate to wish ill will on our in-state folks, but I really don't want them to make the playoff before we do.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_02: So that's that's about the only thing I'm not looking forward to this season is having to hear how great on this is and how we're not even near them at this point.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I will I will say this.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I've said this before on the podcast before.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: I I've actually always been a fan of Lane Kiffin.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: I I know a lot of people don't like him that rubs people the wrong way with his dry wit and Twitter antics, but I've always really liked him.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: He seems like a really good coach and uh just a fun coach to play on.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh so I'm not by any means saying I'm cheering for Ole Miss, but I mean if if I do expect them to make the playoffs, and uh and I I would be happy to see see Lane do well, but um this is their year for Ole Miss.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is the year they got everybody coming back, they should be loaded.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: I I saw somebody project them to go 12 and 0.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think that's gonna happen.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but um if they can't do it, as Elvis would say, it's now or never.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's now or never for Lane Kiffin this year because of course for the transfer portal, he's the what is he, he's the portal king.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: He can get people in right and left.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: Joey, Joey Freshwater, he can get people in right and left.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, so I I expect them to come back.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_00: But as far as this year, this is the year for Ole Miss.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: And if there's ever been a chance for them to make some noise nationally, this is the year to do it.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_00: And like I said, I've always I've always liked Lane.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: He uh seems like a decent guy, and and him and Leach were buddies, and and that's another thing I reason the reason why I like Lane so much is you know when Mullen and Pries were here, it was just robbery was just so toxic, it was absolutely just toxic.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: And then Leach and Lane came in and they were buddies and had fun with each other, and I still can see uh Mike Leach pulling the face mask off Lane Kiffin at the capital with the thing, just do you know, just joking banter back and forth, and and uh and Lane likes to take jabs at at our expense, but it's all in all in good fun, and uh that's what rivalries are about.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's not the hate, of course.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: Some of it is, but but it's more of having fun.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_00: And so yeah, I I I I cheer for Lane, but but I do think that uh that Ole Miss has a chance, but I don't think they can win it all.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think the big dogs, Georgia, Texas, don't count Alabama out, Calen DeVore and Nick Saban, you know he's gonna be behind the scenes, uh probably in Caleb Moore's ear, calling plays or something.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna be have his um he's gonna be involved in it somehow.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Ohio State, all those big dogs are gonna be be in there.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: But the good thing for old miss, like he says, 12-team playoff, they're gonna make it in probably.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, but I expect one of those blue bloods uh probably to take home the prize this year.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I was uh trying to decide how I wanted to do this, but I think what I'll do is uh I'll just go down the schedule and I'll tell you just a little bit about what I think.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: You know what we should have done, BW.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: We should have uh I didn't think about this till right now.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: Should have looked back at our past two shows, actually are listening.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: Go back and listen.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_00: In the we've done this, it'll be the third year we've done the preview.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: Go back and listen to uh the 22 August to 22 around this time and August 23 and listen to our predictions that we made on our season predictions and and see how they are compared to right now.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: Because I know we're man, I would always be at games and I text you all about look at the score on our week by week projections.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: We were always almost nailing the scores.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, but as far as the records of the season projections, I can't remember, I'll have to go back, but uh I'll have to look I encourage y'all to do that as well.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, let's do that game by game.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh first game, I'll get through it.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, first game Eastern Kentucky um at home.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_02: So that's gotta be a W.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, no, no question about that.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's a W unless something crazy happens.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: If we lose that one, it's gonna be bad.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: So not much else to say about that.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: Uh next one, Arizona State at Arizona State.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: Uh late game, you know, like we played out there a couple years ago at Arizona.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: Um, of course, like you said, nobody on the team is really from the same team, so nobody's really been out there.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: Uh kind of a different deal.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: But from what I've read, Arizona State is not very good.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: Um despite it being a road game for us.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: We really I feel like we should win that game for sure.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: You think the same thing?
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: I agree.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: I was going, uh uh we'll just do it like this.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, I'm with you on that one.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh I think we'll start off one and oh.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and you know that one and oh that that opening game is gonna be crucial because I remember uh y'all are listening, remember this.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Dan Mullen's first game, I believe, was against Jackson State.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: The first play of the game, he ran a play with uh Chad Bumpus uh through through the ball.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: So it was uh it was right off the get get-go.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: You know, he wanted to make a splash and be like, look, we're not running this crew offense, boring offense anymore.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna we're gonna spread the fun.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: I think that was the title that season, spread the fun.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm looking for Jeff Levy to make a little splash and try to try to do some type of uh play to uh to get their mind off of last season.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: And and um I think we'll come out big and we need to win that first game big while.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: We need to win, put up a lot of points.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's what everybody's wanting.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I do think we'll start off one and oh.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: Arizona State, I'm with you on that.
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's uh that's you know, when we did this before, I remember two years ago we had Arizona, and uh I said that was a Mike Leach trap game, you know.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you always had those games where you you uh you you're favored to win, but then Mike Leach, you never knew he would always slip up and lose somewhere that you're supposed to win.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: And we did get the job done, and then last year we almost blew it.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_00: But like you said, Arizona State, uh, I don't think you're gonna be that good.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: That is a power five, power, power, whatever, uh team, uh power five team.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: So um I would I I normally looking at this game, I'd say we're gonna lose this on the road, but I think Arizona is just like you said, a bad team.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: And I think we can go in Arizona Arizona State and take care of business with our with our new quarter block quarterback, Blake Shapin, uh putting up some big numbers.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I have a two-o as well.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_02: And we're coming back home to Toledo.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: Not much to say about that one either.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: Should be the same results as the as the first game.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_02: We had to win pretty big.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um big, put up lots of numbers, stats.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, everybody be coming in saying, you know, three and oh with Bulldogs and Jeff Levy, the real deal.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_00: That's what everybody's gonna be saying for three and oh at that time.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: And then the the the my used to be mighty Florida Gators, now they're puny Florida Gators coming in to Davis Wade on September 21st.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_00: And that's an 11 a.m.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: game, man.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: What the heck?
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you know, I thought it'd be a night game with with the gators, but I guess because Florida's so bad and the states can be bad, they they put in the morning, but whatever.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: What is what are your thoughts on that one?
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, it's just kind of breaking down the schedule, looking at at some of the games, and and uh there's several uh SEC games that at least look winnable at this point, and and we're not gonna win all of them, obviously, but you got Florida, Arkansas, um, and and AM are are kind of the ones that that I feel like we have the best chance of winning.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_02: And so of those, I feel like we have a pretty good chance of winning against Florida because it's at home.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_02: Um, have no idea what the score is gonna be.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like it's probably gonna be a close game, but because it's home, we're gonna have some momentum, we're gonna feel pretty good about ourselves.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna give us a W on that one.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: So putting us 4-0.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, I'm I'm gonna differ on you right there, BW.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna I'm gonna have an L for that one.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say is that Jeff Levy's first loss is uh is against uh Florida Gators.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh, there's really no reason to lose this game.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_00: Excuse me, Florida is not the Florida that we're we're used to.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they're down, probably gonna be running Billy Napier out, and probably our buddy Scott Strickland if if they don't have a good year this year.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: So um I'll be interested to see who's favored, but um, I just uh I don't know, man.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I I think I think the build up, if we really do start 3-0, uh I don't know if it'll go to their heads or what, but looking at the schedule after that might be might be daunting looking at that.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, I don't know.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: I I I'm just gonna I think that's the game that we're gonna drop.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I have us uh three and one going on the road to uh Texas.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I mean it if if we lose that one, it's gonna look pretty bad for me because I don't, you know, obviously I don't have a win in the next game at Texas.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, just a sidebar about Texas, I hate that, you know, we had always talked about going out there and literally it's my wife's birthday, uh, the the the game.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_02: And so, you know, I can't just go out to Austin on a buddy's trip on my wife's birthday.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: And so I hate that it fell like that because we were planning to go.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: I have an uncle that lives out there and everything.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: And uh and you said, Well, you think she'd be okay?
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: I said, I said you hadn't been married, Johnny.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_02: You need to you need to understand you don't go, you don't go on a buddy's trip on your wife's birthday.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_02: So um, anyways, but so maybe maybe next time they're out there in two years, we'll be able to be able to check it out.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_02: But I definitely have that as a loss.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I don't even think we're competitive in that game.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_02: If Texas is the same Texas as last year, um, it's probably gonna be ugly.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to going to a hate we're not gonna be able to go together, but uh um I am planning on going because that's just one of those I've I've never been to a game in Austin.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: I always wanted to do.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I can remember uh back when we were young, uh Jackie Wayne took took the uh Mississippi State Bulldogs out to Austin and he got the win against Texas.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: That was in in nine, they I think we beat him 91 and 92.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I definitely don't see that happening this time.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: Texas is really good.
• 21:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um so good that the fact that Arch Manning is not even the starting quarterback anymore.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I mean he's the other guy is uh is really good.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, I I uh I think I I'm like you, man.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's even competitive.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's I think it's ugly.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: And uh just be I'm just glad to go out there to experience the uh Texas, Austin, Texas uh atmosphere and the stadium and all that.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: We might run it.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll run it or call my our buddy Vic Schaefer.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe he can show me around campus or something while I'm out there.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: Um so really looking forward to the trip to Texas, but as far as competing on the game.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't see us competing at all.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: So I was uh three and two going into Georgia.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_02: And you're four and one.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: Four and one.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_02: So we're gonna be four and two after that game.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_02: Uh no chance.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, I Florida, I mean, excuse me, Georgia, uh, one of the top four to win the win the championship this year.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_02: I know they're they've lost some players and some leadership and some of that, but I just don't see how we do anything over there.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be ugly again.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_02: Not competitive.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I uh the the question on these games is which game is gonna be the bigger blowout?
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: Is it gonna be losing to Texas or losing to Georgia?
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that's good.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_00: The question on that, not whether we can win, it's gonna be whether we can be competitive at all in either one of them.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Georgia is the number one team in the country playing at Georgia.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_00: I see another blowout.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: Uh we just can't, we don't have the we don't have the players like like Texas and Georgia.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they're just they got the uh four-star players all around up and down their lineup, and they're they're the blue bloods there that will be there at the end of college football season competing for the national championship.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_00: And uh we just can't we can't hang with them.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: So blowout city on that one as well.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: So then we got uh we got Texas AM BW uh in start for that weekend.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: So that that's gonna be uh the the next two games, you know, AM and then Arkansas, those two are really hard to predict because you can look at it one way.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_02: You know, we have this uh in my case, a two-game losing streak.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: We just get killed in two games.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then do you let that uh momentum kind of carry over?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: Do you have you know negative thoughts about those last two games?
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_02: And then you just kind of go into this game not caring and you and you lose this one, or do you pick it back up and you get motivated again and you kind of restart your season and and do you win the game?
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: And so um I have this one as an L mostly because just with our history with AM, we've typically beat them in some games that we shouldn't have beaten them in.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't feel like I think they're the better team this year.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know how good they'll be, but I don't feel like we're gonna have that luck this year to just jump up and beat them like we have in the past.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: If we can somehow uh get our buddy uh Nick Fitzgerald to come back uh and find one more year of eligibility for this particular game, then I'd say we could beat Texas AM, but uh Nicki Fitz ain't coming back anytime soon.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_00: So uh we're gonna get beat in this game as well.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_00: Wally uh, I don't I think Texas AM has the better athletes, uh, same sort of deal.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're just better all around than the state.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_00: And um after coming off of a two-game losing streak, uh well, three in my case, two in yours, but two of those three will be blowouts, and we might have some injuries.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: I don't see, we'll probably be banged up coming into that AM game.
• 24:38
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I don't I don't think we can compete.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_00: So I have that one as an L as well.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_02: And then again, I mean it's just a test of your fortitude going, uh, you've got Arkansas after that, and that's a game you should win.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_02: That's a game you need to win.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_02: Uh lots more pressure for bowl eligibility in that game.
• 24:57
  SPEAKER_02: And so I feel like if you lose AM, this is really gonna say where how Libby is as a coach and can he pick the team back up and can we rebound from that?
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel like Arkansas is kind of on the same level as we are.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um they have some coaches that have been here a while, but otherwise they don't really have anything going on there.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I feel like we get it together and we get a W here.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm with you on that, BW.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh Sam Pittman might be hitting up hitting the jukebox, or jukebox might be hitting him this this year.
• 25:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they're looking for a way to get out and get him out of Arkansas, which is a shame because he's a character for college football.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: We love that guy.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: He he's obviously over his head at Arkansas, and they're they're dropping, they're falling by year by year.
• 25:41
  SPEAKER_00: So I think uh I think we have a much needed win after that.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_00: I would have us uh on a four-game losing streak, uh uh you'd have three-game losing streak.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_00: So that will be like a fresh breath of air if we could somehow get a win against Arkansas, uh, because all the people will be, I can you know it, we all know it.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be coming, Levi's not the right guy.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: Fire him, fire him, fire him going into that game because we'll we've lost miserably in these games.
• 26:07
  SPEAKER_00: And and uh, but you gotta like you say, you gotta look and see who you're playing and what you're uh going up against.
• 26:13
  SPEAKER_00: But Arkansas, we're probably evenly matched.
• 26:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they actually might Arkansas might be favored going to the game, but I think we can get the job done.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think we get a win in that one.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I agree.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_02: And then next game is is uh UMass on my birthday.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_02: So we gotta win that one.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: I I don't see how we don't win it.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's a home game.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: Uh probably gonna be home coming.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: I don't really know for sure, but that's gonna be that's gonna be a W for us.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we need a we need a birthday win for UBW.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh that that sure would be nice.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well I've had a few birthday wins on my my birthday always is on uh in basketball season.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_00: We always get some wins sometimes on mine.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so yeah, you need a you need a birthday win.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: And as long as this does not uh uh is not a resemblance of the main game, remember that with crew and uh that then then I think we're good.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_00: But uh we should be favored in this game against UMass.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, we're the SEC team compared to UMass.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_00: So uh there should be no question.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_00: So um we should be the better team and hopefully put up a bunch of points and stats, get get the fan base back uh back back on for because we got a nasty road game coming up after that one.
• 27:21
  SPEAKER_00: But I do think we'll we'll beat UMass.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, then we go to Rocky Top, and uh that's 100% a loss for me.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_02: I think uh talent-wise, you know, they're they're probably not in the same level as Georgia.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_02: Not sure about Texas, but I feel like maybe we have a chance to keep this one a little closer, but still not gonna be a great game.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: Still gonna be a loss for us.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm I'm hoping to go to this game.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_00: The alumni association was planning on getting a bus trip together to go to Rocky Top.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I shared it on my page.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, some people uh replied back to it, but I think we have to make sure we get enough people signed up before we can go.
• 28:00
  SPEAKER_00: So I haven't heard the latest on it.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: But even if the bus trip falls through, I actually might go to this one because we don't really play at Tennessee much.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: I've only been there one time when I was uh went with the team when I was younger with Coach Cheryl.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: But uh so I'm actually looking forward to going to that game.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm not expecting to win.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_00: I think Tennessee will beat us uh pretty considerably, but uh not as bad as Texas and Georgia beats us.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: I think we might actually be able to put up some scores uh against Tennessee, but absolutely not close.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they'll they'll run away with it and uh and give us an L send us home.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and uh then come back home to Mizzou.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_02: And um I I really didn't have this one as a swing game.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: I I'm looking at it, I feel like it's it's definitely a loss.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_02: The only maybe hope we have is if Mizzou is just not as good as they were last year, and they're just kind of uh by the end of the season, they're stumbling a little bit.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: We might have a chance at that game, but I feel like they're still gonna be pretty good, probably not as good as last year, but still better than us.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_02: And I just don't see us winning that one either.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't I don't really understand Missouri.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um they seem like they were, you know, I think in 13 or 14, they went to back-to-back SEC championship games right when they entered the league.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then they kind of dropped off for a little while.
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_00: And uh seems like last year uh they they're they're back in it.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I think their coach, Eli Drink Drinkingwitz or whatever his name is, is a pretty good coach because uh uh he's got them turned around.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_00: And uh Missouri's just uh just a strange team.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: I always feel like they don't fit in the SEC.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't know why it's just me or what.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't they don't seem like an SEC team.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: Uh but I do think they're better than Mississippi State, and uh I expect them to get a win.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think we'll get blown out like we were like we would on these road games, but I don't see us uh I think they'll pull away and get the win.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_00: I don't see us winning that one either.
• 29:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, same.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_02: And then of course our last game is at Ole Miss, at Oxford.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know, rivalry game, all that.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: I I still don't think it's real close.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_02: I I think maybe we lose by three or four touchdowns.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: I think um there will be some points scored.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it could be 45-28 or 45-21 or 52 to 35.
• 30:17
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be a high-scored game, I feel like, but I I just rebels pull away.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_02: I just don't see us doing anything up there.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know, usually uh with the egg ball, everyone always says you can throw all the records out that you never know what's gonna happen in that game.
• 30:33
  SPEAKER_00: And uh in the past, that usually is shown to be true because it seems like when like I'm thinking back on Dan Mullen's first year, um, Ole Miss had Houston nut, cotton bowl bound.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_00: And uh, and what did we do?
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_00: We came in and surprised Ole Miss and beat him at home.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_00: And Dan Mullen got on the microphone like it was a WWE event and yelled at the crowd to there's not one school that matters in this state, is it's on the rise, and it's us, you know.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_00: And that kind of stoked the fire against Ole Miss and school up north, what he called them, and all that sort of stuff.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_00: But uh uh so there they always say, you know, you can throw the records out, but man, not this year.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_00: As I said earlier, Ole Miss is really, really good.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be the best team that they've had in, I mean, years.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, if they like I said earlier, if they can't make the 12 team playoff or get way up in there, then they'll never will.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_00: This is like I said earlier, an hour never for Ole Miss.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I just don't see us being able to compete with them.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's Thanksgiving at Ole Miss, and it's gonna sting, man.
• 31:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna sting.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, losing uh to Ole Miss at home.
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well they uh it's not is it on Thanksgiving night?
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think it is anymore.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: What is that no?
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_02: I think they moved it.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not on Thanksgiving night, I guess because AM and in Texas, but um but it yeah, it's gonna sting because uh you you know you never want to lose to it, but then seeing them.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: I can think back in like 1998, for instance.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_00: We go up to Ole Miss and we come away with the win and we win the SEC West and we're going to uh the championship and and uh it was so special for state fans winning, knowing you had all that, and Ole Miss was not good.
• 32:07
  SPEAKER_00: I it's kind of the same scenario of this situation.
• 32:09
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Ole Miss uh has has the world in front of him, and we're we're rebuilding, and you know, it's it's just uh it's gonna be ugly.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_00: But the good thing about it is uh, like you said, he's not getting fired after this year.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a work in progress, and and you have to build off of it, and uh, and that's all you can say.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_00: So that's that's our that's our preview.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_00: What what record was yours?
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm six and six.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_00: So what does that put you five and seven?
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_00: Five and seven, yeah.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and and man, I I I originally originally it said four and eight, uh, is what I originally wanted said, because I thought we'd lose at Arizona State.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_00: I had this four and eight originally, but then I just uh I for some reason I I feel like the momentum maybe right after right out of the gate, and then uh Arizona State being bad uh will put us at at a win there.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_00: But I might be wrong.
• 32:59
  SPEAKER_00: We might be four and eight, but definitely nowhere close to going to a bowl game this year.
• 33:03
  SPEAKER_00: And uh if we do, then it's a huge surprise.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_00: And that then they'll sign Jeff Levy up to a major contact extension if he gets into a bowl game in year one with this schedule.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_00: I think we have the second hardest schedule in the country, Florida, I believe, has the first one.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_00: So uh tough task for Jeff Levy in year one uh for the Bulldogs.
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, and honestly, I mean I feel like I was looking at something the other day, Florida ceiling for all the teams, and I think our ceiling is eight and four.
• 33:29
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, and hopefully our floor is four and eight.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_00: So when we go in there and four than if we go eight and four than then then that guy's the he might be the next bear, Bryan or something.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_00: Nick Saban with this.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna take some somebody's gonna have to be injured on somebody, you know, ADM's gonna have to lose a quarterback, or something's gonna have to happen for we said this before on our podcast, preview podcast.
• 33:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's so hard to pick games in November when you don't know you might be missing key players with injuries.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the other team might be missing key players by the by the end of the season, your team's banged up and all that sort of stuff.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, so you never really can't tell, but but looking at the talent-wise talent gap between the teams, you can kind of tell right there.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that's what we're basing this off of uh from what we're dealing with right now, is we just have brand new faces, brand new team, everything's new.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_00: And uh it's an unfortunate deal because like I said earlier, Coach Leach had us had us rolling, and I could see I could see him still being here and us going ball games and competing and him and Lane jabbing each other again.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_00: It was just fun time.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_00: BW, we had Lane Kiffin, Mike Leach, and Deion Sanders in the state of Mississippi at one time.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_00: Can you believe that?
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's unreal.
• 34:41
  SPEAKER_00: Those three legends in the state of Mississippi at one time.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty crazy.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_00: Lane's uh Lane's the last man standing.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_00: So that's right.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, as they say on uh Saturday Down South South Podcast, this is talking season.
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm ready for talking season to be over.

• 35:30
  SPEAKER_02: I know when we were uh freshmen in 2000 when we beat Florida, it'd be kind of cool to relive that game.

  SPEAKER_02: First time I saw Spurrier throw the visor down.
• 35:38
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, we carried the uh goalposts out of the stadium on that game.
