• 0:53
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I am doing good, and like you and like everybody,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I'm just excited to have some football. We had, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: don't know if it was an appetizer last week. It's
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: just maybe some stale chips and salsa that was a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: little bit left over. There's a little bit, but I'm
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: ready for a big week this week in college football.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Chris, before we get to the games, we have to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: discuss the SEC as they will go to court on Thursday.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: over this NFL player rolling. It looks like the courts
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and the judges have said, no, you've got to let
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: them play. There's real discussion, or at least it looks like,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on what to do with LSU. Lane Kiffin has said
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: earlier today his player leadership committee, which I didn't know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that they had these, gave him their blessing to bring
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in players with NFL experience. Quote, everyone was emphatic that
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: if they can help us win, let's bring them on. LSU,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: why are they dying on this hill, Chris?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: There's a few theories. One of them, it's coming from
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: the governor, who's trying to push the big Trump guy.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: And he's trying to push Trump's agenda of save the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: College Sports Act. That's great chaos. We're all for it.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: So he sees that as a window. How much is
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: there to that? I think there's something to it. Two,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, when does Lane not like the spotlight on him?
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's about, look at me. You know, look,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: I think in the end, it's going to be very interesting.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to give legal renderings of what might
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: or might not happen. But people that I do talk
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to in that profession believe that they're going to rule
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: against the SEC on this. Then it's going to get interesting.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: You know, there's a lot of fodder and talk. I
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: know a reporter reported anonymously, of course, isn't it always
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: that we'll, we'll find somebody else. I mean, they're not
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: going to kick LSU out of the SEC. LSU is
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: not going anywhere. They're not going to be able to,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: even if they wanted to pull, that's just kind of posturing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And it's just, to me, it's, I think it's a,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: it's a hypocritical and all the way around. I mean, it's,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: It's like in Louisiana, they're all for this, it's for LSU,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: and I say, well, let's say Lane Kiffin had taken
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: the Florida job and he was doing all this. You'd
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: like that, and then there's Stone Silence, of course. You'd
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: hate it. And Florida fans who are now hating it
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: would love it. The bottom line is, I think you
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: have to look at, is this the right thing to do?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: And the answer is no. I think you've probably explained
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: to your audience, knowing you, that this is unique circumstance.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: These players forget about the, you know, two or three
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: that LSU might be interested in. There are 33 players
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: that were told their eligibility was up only to declare
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: for the draft. And, uh, only to, and even the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: NBA guys sound the same thing, only be told that
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the new rule took place after they decided that they
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: were told that they had no eligibility left. So this
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: is not an ongoing thing. This is a one-year thing. And, and,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Like I have said before, you look at the lawsuit,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: the lawsuit is not by, get this today, why is
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: LSU suing them? LSU has nothing to do with this.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: It's the 33 or so players that are suing, and
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, a lot of lawyers think that they've
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: got every right, and if you think about it from
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a logical standpoint, they do. Now, the question is, just
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: because they have a right to come back and play,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: does the SEC or the Big Ten or the Big
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: 12 or the ACC at all have the right to say,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: as a conference, we don't want our institutions to go
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: after a player that has been in the NFL for
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: any period of time or declared for the draft for
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the NBA or whatever. In the end, the SEC has
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: already come out and said, we don't want that. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: We voted 16-0 that you're not going to do that. And,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: you know, it looks like, well, the lawsuit is, I mean,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they're going to sue that. Hey, you're denying us a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: chance to go play at that school or the Big
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Ten or wherever, and we're going to sue you. I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: don't know where it's going to end up legally. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: think we're not going to get it resolved on Thursday,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: but we're going to at least know. by Thursday, whether
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: they're going to be active for the ones that are
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: involved at LSU or any other school, whether they're going
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to be active this week or not, but I expect
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: that this is going to go into some appeals process. Um,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: don't you on, on most things do. I don't know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, I can have an opinion on, no, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: don't like anything that's gone on in college athletics for
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: years and years. Um, I don't like it, and I
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: don't like what LSU's doing. I don't like their stance.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I only think they're going to create enemies within the SEC.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: But that's what Lane does. And this governor has, again,
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: got his own agenda, and I think LSU's just kind
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: of caught him. You don't hear Wade Ruth, the president
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: of LSU, saying to Pete, he can't. The governor's going
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to tell him. He's going to do what the blank
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I tell you to do because that's how he got
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the job. And the governor appointed the board. So I
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: hope that gives a little bit of understanding to your audience.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: This is the governor trying to push his agenda up
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the national ladder. Maybe he can take a trip to Greenland,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: which is also part of his new assignment. And maybe
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: he'll get out of this. I doubt it. And then
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: you got Lane. You know, when does Lane not like
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: chaos or attention? That's my best explanation of where we are.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: The other stuff, I don't know. We'll see where it
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: plays out.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if we've ever seen a governor
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: so involved in any state. Maybe I'm missing one. In
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the state of their college athletics inside their state like
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this one is.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Well, let me take you back to one. This is
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: a great story. The great Huey P. Long, who many
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: stories and movies have been written about, was once... as
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the governor, he would lead the band on the tiger stadium.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And what do you call the person up front? That's the,
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: that's the, with the little baton thing, whatever you got. Yeah.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: He did that. And he wants, wanted to build a
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: huge stadium called tiger stadium. And the state legislator said, no. So,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: you know what he did? You know what he didn't think?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: He said, I need the funding to build dormitories for
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: ROTC athletes, for ROTC students. And guess where those dorms
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: were located?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Tiger Stadium.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: In the stadium. That's how Tiger Stadium was initially built.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: This was like the 30,000 view. This was before money
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: was spent. So I would say UEP Long was probably
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: more involved. But in the modern era, I know your point.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: He's very, very involved. There's no question about it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking of involvement, we're talking with Chris Landry, college football
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and the NFL. Go to LandryFootball.com. Chris, let's get a
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: game in, then we'll hit the games all the way
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: through the second segment. Auburn versus Baylor in Atlanta coming
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: up this weekend. 2.30 Central kick on ABC. Tigers are
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a touchdown and a hook favorite. Not asking you for
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: gaming advice, but for the game itself. Alex Golish, game
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: number one. He's got a really good quarterback. A lot
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: of players in from South Florida. Baylor, Dave Aranda, DJ Lagway,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: his first trip back to the SEC or against an
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: SEC foe. Can Baylor keep this close? Can they upset
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Auburn this weekend?
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: I think they can keep it close. Yeah, I mean,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be an upset. You know, it's just
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: so much unknown with these new coaches in these places.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: I do like Auburn in the game. I think they've
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: got a little bit more balance. I do think there's
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: some talent on Auburn, Steve, more than Baylor. And I
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: do like their chances at home. I really do. do
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: like this game as this game in Ole Miss Louisville
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: or I mean to me that's the most intriguing where
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: there's potentially good matchup I could see both teams winning
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: but I definitely like Auburn's chances here let's.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Take a time out we come back we'll visit with
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Chris we'll get his take on several of these games
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss versus Louisville Mississippi State, what to expect, and

• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the SEC. Mississippi State. Louisiana Monroe. Alabama ECU. Oklahoma UTEP.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Texas versus, I guess that's North Texas. or Texas State, rather,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: excuse me, and then Florida FAU, South Carolina Kent State.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: This should be blowouts. What do you look for in
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: games like these? Other than, I mean, you see an
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Alabama score that comes across and they're up 40-10. What
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: do you look for in those games?
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: You want to look at execution. You want assignments. I mean,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: you want to look at how the team is playing
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: from a coaching standpoint. If you look at it as
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: a fan and you see blowout and it looks good,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: it sounds good, but Or are you making a lot
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: of fundamental errors and mistakes? It's a game in which
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: you can learn and grow from without the threat of
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: losing it. And so to me, you've got to put
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of pressure on your team to play against themselves,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: to play to a standard, to play towards perfection. I'm
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: talking everything from coaches, how you call things, getting the
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: right personnel groupings on the field in time. make not
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: making mental errors. And then the things that you do
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: make that you can, you can correct it before you
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: play a team that if you make those mistakes, it'll
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: cost you the game. That's what I look for. I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: wouldn't worry so much about margin of victory style point.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. This happened. This and that.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: It's really more of what you learn from the game
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: and how you get better from that game. Um, And
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of times you will work on
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: things not to impress, but to work on things that
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: maybe you're not that comfortable doing because it'll really test
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you on, can I do this? And I think what
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: you get out of it as a coach is, all right, look,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: we're not going to be able to run as much
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: of this as we want to because they're just not
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: running it well. Or we think we can, but we're
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: going to have to utilize this package. versus another for
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: it to be successful going forward. So you can learn
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: a lot, but not by the school board necessarily. You know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: it goes without saying you can't lose one game like this.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: This is a colossal blow to your season if you
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: were to blow a game like this, if you're one
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: of the big-time favorites.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Speaking of LSU, they host Clemson coming up at 6.30
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night, Tiger Stadium. Dabo Sweeney and Clemson, a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: big underdog in this one, 10.5 points. What do you
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: expect to see? And can Clemson keep this thing close
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: this weekend?
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess they can. Yes, they can. I was,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: you know, I don't follow this part as much as
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: maybe some others. Did I write 10 and a half points? Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Is that right? Is that close?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Yeah, it's just under two touchdowns.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: That's a lot. That's a lot. I mean, I would
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: have guessed like seven, seven and a half, seven and
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: a half because You know, first of all, let's start here.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: Could you imagine Lane Kiffin blowing this game?
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, mercy.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine that? Let's just start there as a storyline.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: The storyline is going to be what it is, and
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: then it's going to be about the game and how
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: well they play. I think Clemson's in a good place.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Low expectations. They're cautioned to the win. They're going on
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the road. No one expects them to win. They're in
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: a good spot. Yeah, they can have a fight, but
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: if they still got athletes, they can still play. This
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: game will be about LSU. And how smooth will their
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: offense be or will they make mistakes? Will they turn
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the ball over? Will Lane make some calls on fourth
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: down because he's trying to prove something with his offense
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: that he gives Clemson a couple of short fields? Will
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: they make turnovers that will cost them? LSU is the
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: better team. Will they play better? Will they play smarter
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: and prove that? And maybe when going away, will they
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: maybe have a harder time of it? All the things
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: that I just mentioned about first game are true. But
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: this is the type of game where if you come
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: out of it with double-digit penalties, you know, three or
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: four turnovers, you know, crucial mental errors, this is a
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: game you lose. This is the type of game that
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: you can't play poorly anymore. and still win. Just like
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: we were talking about Auburn-Baylor, that's the same thing. I mean,
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: you play poorly, you don't get beat by the other team.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Chris, Ole Miss versus Louisville and Nashville. The Rebs are
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: a six-and-a-half-point favorite right out of a touchdown favorite. Louisville
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: has a really good running back. They've got an established
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: coaching staff. They've got a quarterback that can play. I mean,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss, obviously, the favorite here. But how close a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: ballgame is this? And did we put Ole Miss on
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: somewhat of an upset alert here?
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, look, this game could go either way.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I'm excited to see Jeff Brum's offense. And you mentioned,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: I think, some of the personnel on offense that can
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: be challenging against Pete's defense and how they're going to
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: play it defensively. And then how's Ole Miss going to
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: perform and play to that defense? Are they going to
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: run the football more? Is it going to be more
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: of a low scoring game? If Louisville gets up, I mean,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I think Ole Miss offensively this year is going to
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: put the ball in the hands of the quarterback. I mean,
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: it'd be crazy not to. I think he can bail
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: them out and play good defense, and we'll see where
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: it goes. So I do like Ole Miss because I
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: like the advantage at quarterback and the playmaking ability, but
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: this is a really good test. This may be the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: most intriguing matchup of the weekend in terms of good
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: versus good. I mean, in terms of evenly matched teams.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: This game could truly go either way, and I think
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the others are more upset. This might be an upset
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: in a lot of people's minds, my point spread-wise, if
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Louisville wins, but to me, this game could go either way.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: I do like the Rebels to win, though.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: SMU, Florida State, this is basically a pick-em game. Florida State,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Mike Norvell, they've got, you know, obviously there's a lot
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: riding on the line for Florida State. Can SMU go
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in there and win this weekend?
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: A game under their belt. FSU. SMU, I think, has
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: been a really good program. Rhett's done a great job there. Absolutely,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: they can come in and win. I was not overly
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: impressed with how Florida State played. It was week one
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: for them or week zero for them, whatever, their first game. Yeah, no,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: this is a game at home that they need to win.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: The noise, even in the win, the chatter started this weekend.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: You lose this week, and the noise will get louder
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: and louder, and you got a chance to start losing
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: your team before we get out of September, I'm afraid. So, yeah,
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: this is big for Florida State, and I would put
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: this in the intrigue. So, look, I think Sunday night
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: and Monday night are really good matchups, not in terms
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: of teams that are capable of maybe competing for a
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: national title, But games that are intriguing in terms of
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: competitive matchups that may say a lot about the four
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: teams that are playing them.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: What about Notre Dame taking on Wisconsin? Luke Fickle, boy,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: he is another one that's on the hot seat. Can
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: they stay in this ballgame at all against Notre Dame?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: It's going to be tough. That Notre Dame defense is
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: really good. Quarterback C.J. Carr is good. Notre Dame is
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: a team kind of on a mission. playoff-type run, they've
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: got the goods. They are absolutely good enough to get
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to the playoffs and win a national championship. If they
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: stay healthy, they've got the defense, they've got the quarterback.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Do they have enough playmakers to win against an Ohio
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: State or somebody like that in the playoffs? We'll have
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: that discussion in January if it happens. But this is
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: a really good team that's going to be very tough
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: to beat in their regular season. I don't see Wisconsin
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: getting it done.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Chris, any other matchups that you'll be keying on this weekend?
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not keying on it, but can I? I
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: just vent on, yeah, we get the Apple Cup on Sunday,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: September 6th. I mean, hot times have changed because, you know,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the old packed up, you know, that used to be
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: and was a great game at the end of the
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: year and Thanksgiving weekend. But no, you mentioned the key
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: ones to me that are intriguing. I do think, I'm
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: curious to see how Miami, Stanford, I'm curious to see
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: USC against Fresno State. Now, we'll give you one on
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: Thursday night. Georgia Tech, pretty good team. Colorado is going
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: to be fun to watch. So I kind of like that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm curious to see what Oklahoma State does
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: under the new coach against Tulsa. UCLA Cal is kind
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: of intriguing to me. Those are some others that we
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: didn't get to, but that I'm kind of intrigued by
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: to see what happens. Tulane Duke would be another one. Yeah,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: that's about it.

  Speaker 1: A lot of big games coming up this weekend. Now,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: you said you're going to casually watch... So what games
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: are you going to casually watch this weekend? Like, will
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: you watch Ole Miss? Will you watch Mississippi State? I
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: know you're dying to see that Dynamite Southern Miss game
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: this weekend.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: I'll check in on pieces of everything. It's not so
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: much casual. I'll look at. I love saying that to you.
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: Because the first time I remember the first time I
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: said that to you, I was like, what does that mean?
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: You're going to look at it. Literally, I'll look at it.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: I'll get multiples. I'm going to see what's going on,
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: but I'm not going to devote myself to full games
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: here because then I won't be able to see everything
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: that's going on. So you'll just kind of like red
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: zone it, but in your own way.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Very good. All right, let's see here. I'm looking at
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: more depth charts. We've got a lot more oars. Kansas
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: is doing the oar game. Bam Crouch at linebacker or
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Malachi Kirby or Jabril Al-Amin at linebacker.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: All the ors.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Hawk position or. Corner or. Can we just do away
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: with depth charts?
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: You might as well.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: These things are pointless. These things are pointless. A lot
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of high school coaches do that now. Sam Williams was
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: notorious for that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Or, or, or.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: He might have just sent a big old sheet with
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: an or on it. Why don't they just do that?
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Just one big piece of paper that says or.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: Or.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Just show up. And if you want to watch the game,
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: just show up and watch the game. This is, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: this is for the, the gamblers who need to know.
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: You need to know who's the quarterback before the game. Well,
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: don't be a degenerate, you know, gambler. Just, just watch
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: So do you like Mississippi state to win big Saturday? Yeah.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Louisiana Monroe's it's, I know State's bad, the last thing
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: we saw, but Louisiana Monroe is a whole new level
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: of bad.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: No, I agree with you. Texas, 601-885-3776. That is the
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Cowboy Maloney's text line. Call us on the Mississippi Sports
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Medicine call line, 601-897-1059. Ole Miss, it feels like they
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: could be in for a four-quarter ball game against Louisville.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: For some reason, I still don't think so. This entire offseason,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: I've just been assuming the whole time, which we know,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: danger in assuming stuff. I've just had Ole Miss penciled
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: in for a W the entire time. I don't know why.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Louisville just doesn't. They had a pretty good season last year,
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. Just something about them, they don't
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: really scare me. When I see so-and-so against Louisville, I
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: don't think, oh, Louisville's really going to do something this week.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Or Louisville, this is their year. I never feel like
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: that about them.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: They lost four games last year. They lost a three-point
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: ballgame to Virginia. They lost a three-point ballgame to Cal.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: A one-point loss to Clemson. And SMU beat them mightily.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: That was after two straight wins. They had a week
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: where they lost three. Three weeks, they lost three in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: a row. The 8th of November all the way through
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: the 22nd of November, they kind of cradled down the stretch.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Lost two and then got blown out in the third one.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: This is a team that averaged right at 30 points
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a game, gave up 21 a game. I like Ole
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Miss in this game. I think it could get a
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: little squirrely. What if Clemson stays in that game? What
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: if Clemson, you go into the fourth quarter and Clemson's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: down by three? You think that's must watch TV?
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: That's must watch TV. I'm kind of pulling for that.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Are we pulling for that?
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I'd like to see an awesome game.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I just, I would love to see Clemson hang around.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. How obnoxious would Dabo Swinney
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: be in the press conference post game if they won
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: that game?
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: Oh my God. Oh, think about, think about, We haven't
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: even looked at it in that regard. Think about then
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: the two coaches you have talking back and forth about
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: each other. You've either got to hear from Dabo Swinney
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: or you've got to hear from Lane Kiffin. That's a
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: losing battle.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Andrew says Louisville's quarterback has thrown 30 times. So he
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: is an inexperienced guy. Miller Moss graduated last year, so
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: they are breaking another guy. Matt from Brandon. Jake, was
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it you that just about guaranteed a TCU win this
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: past weekend? I did.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: No, Matt. He didn't just about guarantee anything. This man said,
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: I don't care what that line jumps up to. You
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: take TCU to cover it.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: I did. You know, but Matt, have some grace. There's
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: times that the weathermen tell you it's going to rain
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: today and it doesn't rain. It happens occasionally. You can't
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: hit every free throw. You can't kick every extra point.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: You're going to miss them every now and then. Let's
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: get on a run this week.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: You've brought legendary NFL quarterbacks. You brought a Hall of
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: Fame kicker into it. Now you're bringing the meteorologists into this.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Let's have a good week this week. The past is
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the past. We can't do anything about last week, right?
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: All we can focus on is this week and picking
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: really good winners this week. I mean, look, if we
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: have a good week this week, nobody even remembers the
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: TCU game, right? Isn't that the way that works? Yeah. Now,
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: what happens if you're, well, I guess you won't pick
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: 10 this week because usually you do that when NFL starts. Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: let's say you do, though. Let's say you go four
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: and six, though. Well, then what do you do, Jake?
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Are we finally going to rename? If you go four
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: and six, can we finally get a different name than
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Wim's Winners? Can we finally rename it?
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Well, let's go through the season first. Let's see how
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: the whole season goes. I'm thinking about doing like 15
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: games this week.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's week one. Why not?
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: We'll just give you a lot of winners. Here's your
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: extra Thanksgiving money. Here's some Christmas money. Let's get money everywhere.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Let's just do like 15.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: You know that gives you the very real chance to
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: be four and 11 then. It could get even worse.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Possum neck, Joe. Jake, give me your total yards for.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Camario this weekend. Rushing, passing, kicking, and punt returns. Super Camario.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: Joe has named him Super Camario.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: I like that.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say a Camario-Taylor stat line. Let's go...
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: 275 yards passing. We'll go 75 rushing. I don't think
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: he's going to run it a whole lot. We'll go 50.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: 50 yards rushing. So 325 total yards. He'll account for
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: four total touchdowns.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: That must have been you texting into the Matt Wyatt
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: show earlier.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: No.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: Because someone, I don't remember who it was. It was
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: either that or on his YouTube, someone just put, hey,
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: I predict that this week, and it's not like Matt
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: had asked for it or anything, just someone just popped
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: up and said, I predict Camario Taylor with 350 total
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: yards and four total touchdowns this week.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: What do you mean?
• 30:40
  Speaker 4: And you were, I mean, you just gave me four
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: touchdowns and you were only 25 off that.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't get a chance to listen to the
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Astute Matt Wyatt show today, so whatever. I don't know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: maybe it's in the football ether, as they say. J-Rock,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: did he just say occasionally?
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, occasionally.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: It's every now and then. Come on, J-Rock. Bama Bulldog,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: I think as an SEC fan, unless you are an
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: LSU homer, I think we all want LSU to lose
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: five games at least. It's ridiculous what they are trying
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, I would say that LSU is not
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: picking up any just occasional fans. Like if you're an
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: SEC fan of Bama or let's just say you're a
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: fan of State or whoever, and you'd like to pick
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: another team to cheer for, LSU's not picking those fans up,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: are they? No, not at all. So I would say
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Clemson and Dabo is going to have a large group
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: of the United States rooting for them this weekend. 601-885-3776

• 33:31
  Speaker 1: on the Cowboy Melanies text line. One weekend of the season,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: and Jake is already making– excuses for his picks one
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: thing is for sure they're not winners i started this
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: revolution and now everybody else is piling on we are
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: all seekers of the truth truth jake is propaganda long
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: live the revolution jc that was week zero we don't
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: even really count week zero no come on it's a
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: week zero pick it's a week zero pick oh jake
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: we got so many picks to get to this weekend i've.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: Heard so many So many words today that you're trying
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: to get at to make up for this, to try
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: to convince me. It's a lot of parcel tongue is
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: what I'm hearing.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, there's a ton of winners hidden out there. Like,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: for instance, Miami-Stanford, the totals at 47.5 over feels like
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: a pretty easy play, 47.5. I mean, Derry-Minson in Miami
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: is probably going to hit somewhere around 35, 40 on Stanford.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Stanford will get a couple garbage touchdowns. You should be
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: able to get that one in there. you know, as
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: we get through the week and some more lines kind
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: of settle out. You know, like, for instance, I wouldn't
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: touch Texas versus Texas State. That Boise-Oregon game, that totals
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: at 51.5. You could probably feel fairly confident to play
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: the under, just because Boise's going to play fairly well.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: That game will be a defensive ball game for a while.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: So there's several games out here. LSU-Clemson. Totals at 51.5.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: That game feels like an under game, doesn't it? Like
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: a 30-18 game or 30-17 game. So you feel real
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: good about that. So, JC, there's a lot of winners
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: out there this weekend. Let's see here. And I'm thinking
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: that Ole Miss-Louisville game, 55.5. That feels like an under game,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: doesn't it? Like a 30-20 ballgame? Five and a half.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: No, wait. In Trinidad, Chambliss, not Chambliss, is supposed to
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: light the world up. And that includes week one. Lighten
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: the scoreboard up. Give me over.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Over 55 and a half for that game?
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: That's what I've been told, at least.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: So are you going to be watching DJ Lagway?
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I haven't even thought about that. Who's Baylor playing?
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Auburn.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: Auburn, that's right, yeah. It might be one that I
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: look at.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: You know what? Yes, I am.
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I completely forgot about it, but now that you mention it,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: I'm interested to see the beginning of DJ Lagway 2.0.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: DJ Lagway 2.0, colon, the straight jacket is taken off.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Who was it that said he was in a straight
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: jacket last year? Who put that dumb quote out there?
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Dave Aranda, his head coach.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Aranda, yeah.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the head coach at Baylor.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: Said he was in a straitjacket. All right, so who
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: is the most hated team in the offseason? Is it
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech or LSU now? Texas Tech with the Brendan
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Sorsby deal, or is it now officially LSU?
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: I think it's moved to LSU.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. And Tom Mars, if you remember
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Tom Mars, the astute attorney that was a part of
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the Hugh Freeze deal and everything going on with Ole Miss,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: and now he's been out here in several of these cases.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: He says, quote, the SEC is going to win this case.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: He feels like the SEC will win the case. Now,
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: we'll see what happens on Thursday. And I'm trying to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: see if there's any other news on this. I think
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: at this point, everybody's just ready for games, and people
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: are tired of all the off-season news. It just continues
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: to keep getting in our face. All right, so any
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers news today?
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: No Rodgers news. Still quiet.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Did you see some of this footage of– Oh.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: But now his, I'm sorry, now his number one receiver
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: is the one out there being a Janko.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Oh, what'd he do?
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, DK Metcalf. DK Metcalf. Apparently decided last week he
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: was going to go into, I think it was a
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: grocery store. And he took a picture of someone that
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: was working at the store. And it was a portly gentleman.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: And DK put him up on his Instagram and made
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: some comment on there, making fun of this dude being fat.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sorry that you posted your super jacked,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: likely steroid-riddled picture back when you were at Ole Miss.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: And yeah, so now all of a sudden he feels
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: the need to make fun of fat people, I guess.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Because he did that classic thing where he took it
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: down an hour and a half later.
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, boy.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: But screenshots were taken.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they live forever. So, yeah, there's no sense in
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: all that. All right, let's see here. If LSU was,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: just humor me with this, kicked out of the SEC,
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: who would you want to see replaced with? Seriously. We're
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: going to go Texas Tech, Oklahoma State.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: No, go over two. I just still feel like it
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: feels so lackluster these days. But anytime we've talked about
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: this conference expansion for the SEC, that is, I've always
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: just felt Florida State fits in there. I know they're down,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: really down, really, really down. But it doesn't sound as
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: good now, but it's always just fit to me. I
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: know we don't live in a world where we know
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: we're supposed to go by fit anymore because geographical fit
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: that's not a thing but i'll stick with it.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: As crazy as this uh deal is front office sports
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: reporting no one is backing down in the lsu scc
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: legal battle lsu still plans on to play nfl returnees
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: if they're eligible while the scc says it will defend
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: its ban on pro players Could you see LSU with
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: this governor? What's his name?
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: Landry.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: What's his first name? Jeff. Jeff. Why don't I say Tom?
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: That's the coach. Jeff Landry. Saying, okay, fine. We're going
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: to be an independent. We're going to become the southern
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: version of Notre Dame. And we're going to pull out
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: of the SEC and we're going to just be Notre
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: Dame South. Is that believable at this point? No, I
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: don't think it works. I don't think it works the same.
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: Because then you're I think then you would have you
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: would have a situation pop up where people would refuse.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: To schedule you. I think you'd run into some scheduling
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: problems that way. Churros is nothing like a man with
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: a nose ring body shaming somebody.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: That's a good point. Also, still thinking about this LSU
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: thing and you don't have. You don't have an entire
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: church behind you like Notre Dame does.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: True.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: You don't have the Catholic church behind.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: You and all that.
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: You are the exact opposite. They are allegedly Christian folk.
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: You're dealing with the church, and LSU, you steal money
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: from a children's hospital.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Allegedly.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: Allegedly.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: All allegedly.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: Let's see here. Nebraska's depth chart is out, and we
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: got a lot of oars. Let's just do away with
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: depth charts. Let's just do away with them. They're meaningless.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: They're meaningless. I even say in high school football, do
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: away with them. Who cares? Just use the roster. Nebraska, linebacker,
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Vincent Shavers or Dexter Foster or Derek Wacker or Derek Wacker.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: That's a good linebacker name. That's a real good linebacker.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Let's see here real quickly. Dog Tire Florence. Good grief.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: TCU costs the U.S. a bunch of money. Thanks, Sonny Dykes.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: Memphis looks strong and fast. The ACC better be aware.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Or the AAC better be aware. And let's see. JC.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: We also didn't count last season. Of course we did.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: And we finished above the board, JC, on last season. KW.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: North Carolina to the SEC Jordan money. What do you
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: think about North Carolina?
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Always overrated. To begin a season.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: No, I think so. All right, listen, I'm trying to
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: see did I miss anything else? I don't think so.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: I think we covered it all today. Any other news
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: we need to get out there? Are you going to
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: this Weird Al Yankovic still at the Brandon Amphitheater? We'll
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: have tickets for it.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: Doubtful, but I'm kind of intrigued by it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: This is October 4th. We'll be giving away tickets for this.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: I told you, I didn't even know he was still
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: a thing. How has this man lasted so long?
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know. Yeah, he's still out there.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: He is still out there. So we will be giving
