  Speaker 2: back in football for first time in two years. And
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: do you know what this knucklehead had the audacity to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: ask me last night? He showed me something on the
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Instagram that, And it was some football team walkout. Could
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: his team walk out like this, some jazzed up walkout song.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: And he's more enamored with the walkout song. And I said, dude,
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: you're going to get, you better get your mind right.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Like you're going to get decleted out there. You know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you're going to get your head taken off. I'm very
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: disappointed that these young kids are all about this, this
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: walkout song tonight.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: How old is he?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: 13, 13.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I couldn't remember. I thought 14, 13. Yeah, that's, That's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: how it goes these days. We always talk about the youths.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: It's more about the present. Oh, we go back to,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and I can't remember his name, but it was like eight,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: nine years ago now, he was the coach of Coastal
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Carolina's football team. And he went on that rant about
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: be a dog.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: He started telling this story. There's a cat that broke
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in the house. Cat in the house. Meow. And I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: was telling my kids, my football players, I said, y'all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: concerned with the wrong thing. You're all concerned with do.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: I look good?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Do I have extra bands on? Be a dog.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Be a dog.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: We already got a bunch of cats. Be a dog. Yeah.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: And that's it. Your kid is now concerned with do
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I have extra bands on? Yeah. Do I look good?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: What's the walkout music?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I really hate to say this. I hope
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: he gets smoked tonight. I'm serious. Let's bring the look.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I'm an equal opportunity kind of person. Bring the kid
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: back to reality. Boom. And then all of a sudden
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you get hit and you don't know where you're at.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: You're like, oh, my gosh. Now, how do you want
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: your walkout song now? How about your walkout song now
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: while you're laying on the ground? How about your walkout
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: song now when you don't know where you are? I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: can't stand that stuff. By the way, did you see
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the NFL is cracking down on taunting? There's a report out. Yeah,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: we'll get to that. Mississippi State fans should have some
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: hope today. ResDogs should have some hope today. Did you
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: see what State did today? State is officially bringing back.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They did a great video. I shared it on X
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: at Hell State Football titled Leave Your Legacy. And Wayne Madkin,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: former Mississippi State quarterback, is the centerpiece of this video.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And it's very, very nostalgic. It takes you back. Madkin's
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: looking through a lot of the old clippings when he
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: played at Mississippi State under Jackie Sherrill, when they played
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: in the Snow Bowl. And then Joe's favorite quarterback at
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State ever. Do you know who that is?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Camario Taylor.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Camario Taylor is at the end of it. And it's
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Leave Your Legacy. They're bringing officially back for good the M...
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: SU locking logo it's back they're getting rid of the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: other crap that's up there I never liked it when
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they got rid of the MSU logo the real football
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: logo and went to the hell state all you know
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: M state all this other whatever that they did they're
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: getting rid of that and they're bringing the old football
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: logo back and back and passes it off and says
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: now it's yours live your legacy I thought it was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: very very good very well done Should we give Zach
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Selman a raise for bringing the old logo back?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I think it's good that they finally did it.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: It seems like this talk has been going on for
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: at least that I can remember about at least three
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: years now, people talking about, why not bring that back?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State fans, that is. Why not bring that back?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Bring that back. And they finally did it. So I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: don't know if he deserves a raise for it, but.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: It's going to lead to merchandising sales. Now, here's the thing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: They're going to go out and buy those. But if
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they have another terrible season, the people that went and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: bought it are immediately going to burn it. So I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't know. Joe also is a big fan of Zach Selman,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: as you know.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: He is.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So I think Selman and Taylor are like a package
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: deal for Joe.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. So maybe Joe will donate to the Camario
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Taylor NIL fund and the Zach Selman raise fund. So
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I'm glad they're bringing it back. I never liked. Look,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: there are certain things you don't touch. And I get it.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: State's football program will never be, you know, confused for Alabama.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: It'll never be confused for Georgia. But that logo is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is state football, just like the baseball logo is state's
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: baseball logo. You know, you don't see Ole Miss. They've
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: changed uniform colors, but they've never changed the script. It's
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss. You don't see Bama changing the script day.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: You don't see Georgia changing. But State, somebody got cute
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: 15 years ago and decided, or whenever it was, that
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: they needed to do away with the MSU football logo.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And I wasn't happy then, and now I'm very happy
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: they're bringing it back. It's just like Southern Miss. It's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the Southern Miss. Now, yes, they've changed the eagle, and
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: it looks good. Jackson State doesn't change it. Why did
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: State ever feel like they needed to change the STEM logo?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: What was the purpose? So I'm glad they're bringing it back.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I really am. I think that could could that be
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: two more wins?
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Well, well, slow down on that one, one baby step
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: at a time.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's good. You know what? It's good news for now.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: So just stick on that. Just focus on that news
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Don't don't already decide, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: don't don't think about the games. Just think about this
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: news for now.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of news to get to. The Big
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Ten is now passing a rule where they will not
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: allow pro players from the NFL to return to Big
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Ten schools. This is fantastic news. The SEC is meeting today.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: We've got an excerpt from last night. They're fixing to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: do the same thing. The Big 12 and the ACC
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: is discussing doing the same thing. Do you know the
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: one person who's hot as a hornet today? And he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: publicly hot about it? Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin is not happy.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: He is not happy. Will he go down as the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: biggest villain maybe ever in college football? I think he's
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: well on that.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He's on the path.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: He's on the path, and he's on the train. Let
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: me get a couple texts real quick before we have
• 9:22

  Speaker 2: iconic figure country music and Mississippi state is officially bringing

  Speaker 2: back the very popular interlocking MSU logo. Uh, that's from
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: the 96 roughly to 2003 era. Obviously they had versions
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of that prior to, um, and this is, this is
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a great move. I'm, I'm glad the adults are back

  Speaker 2: in the room. Is that fair? I'm glad the adults
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: are back in the room in Starkville to bring back
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the interlocking Mississippi State logo, MSU. It's what needs to
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: be on the helmet. And look, I know in the
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: grand scheme of things, uniforms aren't everything. But that logo,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: when you go back and look at some of the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: other logos, I never was a fan of those logos. Again,
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: try ripping the state off the front of that baseball
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: jersey and changing that. Do you think fans would accept that? No.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Not happening. Not happening. Drug dog. We will take any
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: good news about our football program now. Absolutely. So is
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: it two more wins? You ready to go eight and four?
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: With the logo back?
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: DX has upped it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Has he? Let's see. DX on the Cowboy Maloney's text line.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: He says at least this is good for three more wins.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: What do you think? They're going to bring the Dog
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Pound Rock back too?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: No, let's not get crazy now. Let's not mess around
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: with all that, and they're going to end up winning
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: 10 games.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Right? Yeah. You remember those days?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: That was very, very fun times. That Mississippi State team,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: that year, those two or three years, were they arrogant?
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Or were they just confident?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I guess it was a lot of confidence, but a
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: lot of times that much confidence is going to sound
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: like arrogance.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. They were very tough. Those were very, very tough
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: football teams. Very physical football teams. Defensive first football teams
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: run the football, obviously a different era. It's hard to
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: believe that's a different era, but that was definitely a
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: different era. When you start talking about the run game
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: with Kiefer McGee, rest in peace, J.J. Johnson, and then
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Descenzo Miller. You kind of go up Dante Walker, you know,
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: all those backs that came through back then. That was
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a different deal for Mississippi State. But they're bringing back
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: the logo. Let's see. Possum Neck Joe. Let's see. He says,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: after this coming weekend, it's going to be a free-for-all
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of guys who don't make the cut in the NFL
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: flocking back to college. He says, well, just y'all say
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: some conferences are now going to not allow it.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Great.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let me get into that real quickly. The Big
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Ten has passed a rule to where NFL players cannot
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: come back to school and play in the Big Ten.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: The SEC is set their meeting tonight and tomorrow. As
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Ross Dellinger reported this morning, SEC presidents are expected to
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: direct athletic directors against accepting pro players under threat of penalty.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Per bylaws, Greg Sankey and or presidents hold authority to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: deem a player ineligible, fine, suspend coaches, etc., It says,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: will they, quote, this is Sankey's Sorsby moment, one person says.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Talking about Brandon Sorsby. Is it a Brandon Sorsby moment?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it is because Texas Tech came out.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Or Brennan, Brennan Sorsby.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were talking about, they were all behind Sorsby
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: until the league came out and came, you know, they said, okay, well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: we might have to enforce some penalties. So if the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: league's going to come out, it's a very similar situation.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Not just designed at one player, but it's very similar.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: It makes me think of that, yeah. No, I totally
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: agree with that. Also, let's see here.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: The Big 12 is also considering, and you don't have
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: these things to go, it's a domino effect. The Big
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: 12 is considering a league-wide policy banning pro players returning
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to the conference, meaning that all four power leagues, because
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the ACC, believe it or not, And Jim Phillips, they're
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: on board with this too. Thankfully, he's got a little
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: bit of common sense. All four power leagues are set
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: to consider such a rule, courtesy of Yahoo Sports, as
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: the college sports eligibility crisis is, quote, sprawling well beyond
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: LSU football and basketball. Also, how about this? A little
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: pivot here. KFC is, did you see this? They're releasing
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: an Oreo chicken burger. The collab features cookie-style buns, mashed
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: potatoes covered in crushed Oreo pieces, a fried chicken filet,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: and launches in China on August 28th, which means it'll
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: be over here. An Oreo chicken sandwich.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That sounds and looks terrible.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: It does, doesn't it? It is a god-awful look. I mean,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: some things just aren't meant to go together, are they?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: And this seems to be one of them. It absolutely
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: seems to be one of them. Let's see. Jason and Flagstaff.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: I love Dolly's music, to be clear, but how she
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: lived her life, her charitable and. Is that philanthropic? Philanthropic
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: contributions specifically known and unknown far exceeds her music success.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Woman was a patron saint of hillbillies. I like the
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: way you put that. And Scott in Philly. Scott from Philly.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: This is Scott from Philly. Let's see. State is going 8-4.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that? You think State's going 8-4?
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about all that. That reminds me of Andre, though.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Andre said they're going 8-4, but he also at the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: same time said that Levy's going to get fired by October.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: So I don't know how those two would go together.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: That would be the weirdest of weird things, right? State
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: goes 8-4, Levy's out. Midseason. Miko, talk about having a
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: big back closed KFC. He's wanting to close the whole establishment.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: How far, let me ask you this, or has it,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: with all of the chicken places out there, and you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: know Chicken Alley over there in North Brandon, 047, how
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: far down the chicken ring has KFC fallen? It was
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the champ for decades. It was the king of chicken.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: And then it got Competitors like Popeyes, churches, but then others.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Is it how far down the list is it?
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I could I'd have to think about
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: all the chicken places because there's so many now. But
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: without giving a specific ranking, I will tell you way
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: far down. They have fallen so far down the list,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: which is insanity, because like you said, they used to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: be the king. Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Colonel. That's all.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's all you had to say. The Colonel. They were
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: just known as the Colonel. They had that sweet mascot. Yeah.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: And they are just last time I had them. That
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was it's just disgusting how far they've fallen.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. the the service is typically not real good um
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the chicken is very average are they nebraska football yeah
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: i think kfc is the nebraska football yes.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: You know what kfc they they were They were that
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Tommy Frazier, Lawrence Phillips, Nebraska.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: And now they are, what's that punk's name? They are
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: the Dylan Raiola, Nebraska.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Who is now at Oregon, by the way.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But he was still, he was the face of that
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: whole deal. We're going to get into the biggest, heaviest
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: football teams in college football. Also, a lot of other
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: good stuff out there. And I've got to always give
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: him credit for this. Bunky Perkins, a tradition like none other.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: The Ole Miss Sigma New Pledge List is out. We've
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: got a new list of pledges at Ole Miss. These
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: names will tickle you. They'll make you cry. We'll talk
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: about that and more. We're brought to you by Maristar Casino.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Get out and play. Don't forget about four great restaurants
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: that are on that property Thursday through Sunday. You can
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: get Bella's every day of the week, pizzas, wings, and more.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: More coming your way on a Tuesday. Back in a moment.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: And action! We got that. And a whole lot more
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: around here. It's the Afternoon Drive with Jake Wimberly.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: What's the score?
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: He's got that.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Along with the hottest sports stories of the day. On
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: ESPN 105.9 The Zone and online at thezone1059.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Com. the big 10 has now come out and said
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: schools that violate the big 10s NFL rule, which means
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: no players from the NFL to the big 10 will
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: result in a coach suspension of 50% of contest and
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: an institutional fine courtesy of Pete Naco. So the big 10, uh,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: they're leading on this. They are late. Now the sec
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: is meeting on this and the big 12 and the
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: ACC have, uh, said that they will likely implement something
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: very similar. Let's see. Uh, Jason Flagstaff says that, uh,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: KFC ranks from first to 93rd, depending on where I'm at.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: There's one about an hour from here that's still like
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: they all were back in the old days, and I
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: stop every time in there. Everywhere else, they absolutely suck.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: PT for MSU is a big fan of Bunky Perkins
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: on X, says he's one of the best as far
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: as SEC and Mississippi humor, and that he is. Unnamed
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: texter Lane Kiffin is a mad genius to take the
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: talk away from the No. 5 jersey. Well, I don't
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: know if... be meant to do it that way. But yeah,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: whatever happened, I guess nothing's going to happen with Jane Danielson.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: The number five, nothing's going to happen with that. All right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Let's see here. Who's got the biggest and heaviest teams
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: in college football this year based on average roster weight,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: roster weight, Wisconsin leads the country, the heaviest football teams
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: in the country based on total roster weight, one end
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: of the other, the average weight, of a Wisconsin football
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: player's 242.2 pounds. The question is, can they run? Virginia Tech, 242.1 pounds. Texas, 240.8.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, 240.6. Notre Dame, the same. Oklahoma, a tenth
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: under it, 240.5. Washington, 240.2. Illinois, 240.1. Mississippi State checks
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: in at 239.9. Mississippi State's heavy. They got their logo back.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: They're one of the heaviest teams in the country. Maybe
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: we're underselling this football team. Florida, 239.3 as far as
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: weight is concerned. All right, so Bunky Perkins, who is
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: on X, he has been doing this a long time.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: He typically just interjects a lot of humor. He has
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: this tradition every year where he lists the Ole Miss
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Sigma Nu pledge list, the fraternity to Ole Miss, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: it always has some unbelievable names. Peter Burns jumped on this.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: There's a guy on here. He said, put some respect
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: on Cannon Calloway's name and Thatcher Kenyon Sr. Would you
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: name your kid Thatcher? Let me just give you some
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: of these. These are pledges at Ole Miss in this fraternity.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Max Manchester. Jay James Markentel. Let's see. William McKenzie V.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Maximilian Morton. These are real people. They call him Max.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Would you name your kid Maximilian? Let's see. Noah Randolph.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: That seems common. Wyatt Shoner. Charles Schrader. Let's see. Walker Slattery.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like anybody you want your daughter to date.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Walker Slattery. Also, Aiden Spear. And let me go over
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to the other page. These are just some highlights. Of course,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of them. John Foster Dale. If you
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: had a double name, what would it be? Like John
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: David Baker, John Foster Dale. What would your double name be?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Like the whole two first names?
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: I don't like to think about that because I can't
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: stand that crap. Hey, here's Stephanie Allison. When you started this,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: I thought these names were going to be funny, by
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the way. This is a really big letdown so far.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: There's this Bunky Perkins character.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: We have to fight him on X. I do like
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: Michael Cannon Calloway, but they got Cannon in quotes. Do
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: you think they just call him Cannon? There's a lot
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: of Eastons and Maddoxes on this list. So go figure that.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: So that list is out there if you want to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: see it. All right. Cody Carpenter, who covers college football
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: and also the NFL draft, high school recruiting analyst, he
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: went through all 192 games in the SEC football slate,
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: and here is how he has the SEC. Now, this
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: seems a little bit more realistic. Maybe not everybody, but
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: the way he's got the five, nine, and three teams,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: and I think that's very possible. He has Texas finishing 11-1.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: 8-1 in the conference. He has LSU and Georgia tied
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: at second, finishing 10-2 and 7-2. Texas A & M, Oklahoma,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, Alabama, and Ole Miss finishing 9-3, 6-3. Tennessee
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: finishing 8-4, 5-4. And he has Mississippi State finishing 8-4, 5-4. Florida, 7-5, 4-5. Kentucky, 4-8, 2-7. Auburn, 5-7, 2-7. Missouri, 4-8, 1-8.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: And look, a lot of people talk about this. Missouri,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: they've lived around 7-8-9. They'll get a 10th win every
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: now and then. Missouri very well could slide back. Vanderbilt, 4-8, 1-8.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And Arkansas, 2-10, 0-9. Planet Pearl says, Billy Bob Beaver.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that?
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Did you go with Billy Bob?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Billy Bob.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: And unnamed texter Beaver goes by Beaver and doesn't know
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: who Bunky Perkins is. His view on double names is
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: completely irrelevant. So you don't care. Right?
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Neat.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: What do you think about this guy saying State 8-4?
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: It's a positive Mississippi State news today. What do you think?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: 8-4 everywhere.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: 8-4 everywhere with a new logo back. All right. Cousin Shane,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: who is on... with Michael Bratton, that SEC podcast, he
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: just put an infograph out that says hype versus reality.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: So Texas, hype or reality? Reality meaning they are who
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: we think they are, like they are what the media
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: perceives them to be. National championship contender, Arch Manning Heisman.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I saw something on one NFL team last night, the
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: March for Arch, number one pick.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: You know, the one thing, it doesn't seem like, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this is crazy, it doesn't seem like there's as much,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, there's still a ton of hype
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: on Arch Manning, but it's his second year starting, it
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: doesn't seem like there's as much hype as last year,
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: which should not have been from the beginning anyway. So,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: I want to say it's closer to reality, because this
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: is going to be a good team, but When you
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: still factor that in, when you're still putting all the
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: hype on Arch Manning, though. I don't know. But overall,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: I still think they're closer to reality. But that makes
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: it so tough. The expectations, because all the Arch Manning hoopla.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Georgia, hyperreality.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Reality?
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. LSU.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's closer to reality.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, hyperreality. I'm not asking J.C., i know what
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: he would.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Say uh closer to hype i'll say.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: This one's for joe camario taylor hype or reality.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I'll go closer to hype.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: What about uh oh south carolina is definitely hype right
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: yeah auburn hype you were quick on that one.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: Constantly. And has there even been hype on Auburn?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: I think there's optimism. You know, every time you churn
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: a new coach, there's a percentage of optimism. You know,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: I think when you went from Sylvester Croom to Dan Mullen,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the optimism was pretty darn high, right? Joe Moorhead, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: hype was there because of the, quote, offensive prowess coming
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: from Penn State, size your ring up, all that stuff.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: But that's all it was, was hype. You know, and
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss hired Lane Kiffin. That was a hype, but
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: then there was reality that came with it. All right.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State and Louisiana Tech have agreed on a matchup
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: in Starkville for the 2028 football season. This game is
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: set for September 16, 2028, replaces a previously scheduled road
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: matchup for Mississippi State against Memphis. That's reported on by
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Robbie Falk with State 1878. Also, Pete Nacos lists college
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: football's highest paid quarterbacks. We'll get into that list, what
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: these numbers look like. At least 13 starting quarterbacks will
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: make upwards of $ 3 million this season in college football. Also,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Blaine Crane, Blaine Crane, with on three, has released his
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: SEC regular season predictions. He has Georgia and Texas at
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the top. Well, actually, Georgia at 11-1. Texas, LSU, Ole Miss,
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: and Texas A & M at 10-2. That seems like
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: way too many 10-win teams. Oklahoma, Alabama, 9-3. Tennessee, 8-4. Auburn,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, 2-7 in five teams. Missouri, Florida, 2-6 in six.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State at 5-7. Kentucky, Vanderbilt, 4-8. And Arkansas at 2-10.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: The one thing is pretty constant amongst everybody's predictions, Arkansas
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: at 2-10, Georgia anywhere from 11-1 to 10-2. We're brought

  Speaker 1: say these hosts. And that means, you know, when the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: midday guy actually decides to show up and do a show.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on. Do a show. Kind of the
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: point of a radio station. But you can tell when
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: they bring me in this much. You maybe don't have,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe don't have a lot.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Well, there's a whole lot.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: And that's what's been going on today here, Jake.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: So you think I don't have a lot.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's the feeling I'm getting today.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: What I've got.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Asking me about double names. And then, you know, Joe blow.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Jabron over here is like, Oh, this, this, this is irrelevant.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: And all that business going on today.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I just like to get your opinion. I value your opinion.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that I don't have stuff to talk about.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: So you have the microphone. I have, We share the platform, right?
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: You don't want to share the platform, though. See, I
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: try to feed you chicken, and you don't want chicken.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: How about that? Is it fresh chicken, or is it
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: out of the garbage? Well, I'm not going to Chris
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Brooks you. I'm not going to do that. Let's see.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Jason in Flagstaff. William Henry McKenzie IV. That kid's birthright
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: just has to be beheading folks at 25 miles per
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: hour from the back of a running horse. Probably so.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: All right, the SEC, people are waiting to see what
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: comes out of these SEC meetings today and tomorrow. The
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Big Ten has already stepped up and said, hey, we're
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: not allowing NFL players to come back, and there will
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: be a suspension for coaches, and there will be a
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: fine on the universities. The SEC presidents did put a
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: statement out last night that said after a Monday evening
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: video conference, the presidents and chancellors of the Southeastern Conference
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: said The conference is issuing the following statement. College athletics
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: and college athletes, not former professional athletes, have been the
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: heart of the Southeastern Conference. Individuals who choose to leave
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: college athletics, sign professional playing contracts, and compete professionally should
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: not then be permitted to return to college competition. Allowing
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: that to occur will blur the lines between college and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: professional sports, creating significant competitive equity concerns. and reduce opportunities
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: for high school and current college athletes. College sports are
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: for college athletes. The current confusion around national eligibility standards
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: emphasizes the need to advance the Protect College Sports Act. Now,
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: everything in here was right, except the SEC now all
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: of a sudden toting the line for this College Sports Act,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: which is not going to happen. But the SEC, I
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: would assume they're going to come out with a statement
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: after reading that, and they will have a strong stance
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: on this. Ross Dellinger reporting one track star now needs $ 30, 000
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: in a loan. A football's a footballers SEC roster spot
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: was yanked. A soccer athlete is searching for a pro
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: bono lawyer. The eligibility fiasco has thrust lives into upheaval
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: and is pitting a league against its own school. It's
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: a mess. So, uh, this is, uh, we'll get into
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: this courtesy of Ross Dellinger and Dellinger talking about the
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: big 12, who was also considering a league wide policy
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: ban on pro players. Uh, returning to the conference, meaning
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: that all four power leagues are now set to consider
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: such a rule as we get ready to kick off
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: this season. It says, important to note that league-wide rules
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: do not absolve a conference from legal challenges. In fact,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: conferences will likely now be sued by athletes as defendants
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: in separate lawsuits or added as defendants in existing lawsuits
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: many times in front of the same judges. So yes,
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: these conferences probably already know this. They put these laws
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: in place. They're likely going to get sued as well.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Dellinger also adds, if and when this happens, the conferences
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: are enjoined from enforcing their league-wide policies. The conference commissioners
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: and or their presidents will then need to determine how
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: aggressive they will be on sanctioning schools directly for playing
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: an ineligible athlete. And again, the ACC is also considering
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: a pro-player ban policy. Soon. It just says soon. NFL news.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Jamar Chase landed awkwardly today on a deep out, a
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: deep route, out route, and comes up grabbing his knee.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know how bad it is. Nobody knows, but
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: he looks like he's in pretty bad pain. So hopefully
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: he is not out for the Bengals. And the Arizona
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Cardinals and their center, Jolte Froholt, agreed to a two-year
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: $ 20 million contract extension, keeping him in the fall through 2028.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: So more contracts are coming in in the NFL. And
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin has spoken. LSU's Lane Kiffin said that conferences
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: can't pick and choose the court orders they want to
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: follow after discussing banning NFL players. Quote, doesn't work like that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: You can't decide. Hey, I like the injunction. Hey, I
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: don't like that one. That play, I kind of like.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: And I like the way they got him eligible. So
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: we're going to follow those rules, not these. It doesn't work,
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: he says on Pat McAfee. So Kiffin is visibly angry,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: it sounds like, about these rules coming down on pro players.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: And again, I'm going to tell you, a combination of coaches,
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Will Wade, Lane Kiffin, Kim Mulkey at LSU.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: I don't know that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: You could get any weirder than those those guys and
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: girls but that is a weird weird deal there but
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: lane kiffin uh not happy with the sec uh also
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: sec leaders are meeting as lsu's push to add former
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: nfl players divides the league Big Ten bans returns on these,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: as does the ACC meets tomorrow. One SEC athletics director
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: said LSU should face disqualifications or a $ 1 million fine
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: if either of these players, if any of these players
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: play for LSU, something has to be done. This is
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the worst that I've ever seen. So you've got people
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: in the SEC already calling for LSU, if they do this,
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: to be disqualified from playoff or conference runs and to
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: be fined. Hour 2, brought to you by Maristar Casino,
