  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I picked 35, 32 was uh my my score prediction.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_02: Gosh, it was almost spot on again.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_02: We've been pretty right on that all year long with our score predictions.

  SPEAKER_02: Everybody people I knew left.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was just ridiculous.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: But I I stayed out to the bitter end, raining and everything, bad weather, and we pulled it off.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, I we mentioned earlier on the podcast how we talk about um we've been talking about special teams and saying, you know, we're gonna lose the game this year by field goal kick.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_02: And I said that, and I think I texted during the game, I was like, here we go.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: This is what we were talking about.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_02: And lo and behold, the guy makes three field goals in a row, man.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: That was that was insane, man.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: With them calling timeouts, and he keeps mailing it.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: I just knew he was gonna miss that last one, man.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, he's gonna miss it.
• 2:31

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but yeah, just glad to get a win.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_02: So hopefully that built some confidence for him uh coming on.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: But man, I had never seen so much bitching and griping from uh from a fan base before in my life.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: Like got on Twitter after the game, you would have thought we'd lost the game.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was insane how many people were griping about it, and man, yeah, we we probably should have won big and not let them come back like we did.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, but gosh, a win's a win, and SC wins hard to get, and people need to need to check themselves.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: It was crazy.

• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: Now people are saying we got a chance to win the game this week.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't I don't necessarily believe that, but but hey, yeah, yeah, I don't know about that.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_02: I did see somebody on Twitter uh post a picture of David Swain and it drew like errors like as far as like where students should enter the field and tear them on the goalpost.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, that's pretty, pretty, uh, pretty crazy right there.

• 4:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm fired up to to be on the show.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_03: I I've listened to your podcasts and I'm thinking about how close you call the games.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_03: I'm thinking about sticking to y'all for all my picks from now.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but you know the moment you do that, we'll we'll drop what it won't be right.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think Vegas needs to start calling y'all, maybe.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_02: Well, uh well, I guess just tell the tell the viewers um about you being a Georgia fan, how how that came to be and and uh and and what you think of the game coming up.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_03: Well, like you said, I'm a Mississippi State grab.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_03: So when Bulldogs go against Bulldogs, you normally I kind of try to go to the one that uh has the most to gain from it.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_03: Um that's kind of been Georgia for football, but um not every time.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_03: And uh, but I I cheer for the Mississippi State Bulldogs a lot in baseball and basketball.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_03: And um, so but but deep down kind of bleed red and black, as you know.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you've known me since I was a young kid.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_03: My dad was taking us to games in Athens from the time I can remember football.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_03: So I knew Georgia football before I even knew Stark Ball was a thing, even being from Madison.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_03: Um, just going to game days and picking up tickets, you know, right before you walk into the game for$15 and listening to Larry Munson and and uh playing some bad, bad Leroy Brown as we drive around town and and out of Georgia.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_03: It's just some some great memories that I'll never forget.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_03: Spent a lot of good times with my dad and my family, and my brother went to Georgia.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_03: So uh he and I have gone just he and I a few times, and it's just been it's just you you can't trade it for anything in the world.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_03: I know you feel the same way about uh your bulldogs.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, yep, you're right.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: Just something about it, man.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uh just uh yeah, you're right.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's just memories, and and uh you can't trade trade those memories for anything.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's awesome.
• 6:14
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Kyle, I know uh you work in the golf industry, and I was gonna ask you, you know, what what made you decide to go to Mississippi State over Georgia?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: Was it for the PGM program at Mississippi State?
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: Is that how you ended up there?
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_03: Uh well, it's a it's a little bit longer story than that.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_03: I wish I could say I was that easy.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_03: That was always in the back of my mind.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_03: I actually, as a freshman, was in uh computer engineering of all things, and uh decided one day that that wasn't gonna be it.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_03: I was gonna have to get into golf.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_03: I played a lot of golf before college and um kind of took a little break and and got back in after my first year up there in computer engineering.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_03: And um, so I went to Mississippi State because the engineering program ended up staying for the golf program.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_03: So that that worked out for me.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_03: I've been doing that for 20 years now.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the the golf program is pretty cool.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we used to play play a little golf together growing up, and I remember how good you always were.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_01: And um is how I don't know a whole lot about the PGM program.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_01: It it sounds like it's pretty hard.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I know there's you have to be good at golf, but you also have to learn a lot about business and stuff like that.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_01: And tell us a little bit about that program there.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh Mississippi State was one of the first ones available in the country, and even back uh 20 years ago when I was there, it was uh one of the only few, but they were growing pretty quick.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_03: But uh it's professional golf management is the program.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_03: And yeah, it's not easy.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's um the the playing part of it is a very small portion of it.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_03: Uh the the good out of it is the opportunities and the co-op experiences that I did.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Johnny will probably say I disappeared from college three different times for months on end.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_03: Those are my co-ops during school.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_03: And uh man, there's nothing more valuable than that growing uh, you know, while you're at school, being able to go ahead and get a start on your career.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_03: And um, but just the they kind of hold you to the golf side of the business.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's a it's a marketing uh business degree there at Mississippi State with uh professional golf management as part of it.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_03: So it's very, very valuable.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_03: And if if you're looking to get into golf, that is the way to go for sure.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Mississippi State, they also have the turf grass program.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: We had a buddy that did that.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_01: He works at a golf course in Chattanooga now.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_01: And um, I had no idea any of that was at state until I ended up going there.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_03: If you if you go to any golf course in the southeast and and go into the maintenance building, there's somebody that went to Mississippi State University in there, I promise you.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's a pretty it's a pretty good big industry, and um Mississippi State's just right at the top when it comes to that.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_03: And uh that's that's countrywide, though you'll hear that.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_03: That's awesome.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_01: And so you're at Lake Caroline, right?
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: So you work with Randy Watkins still?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I work with Randy Watkins Golf Group.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_03: I actually uh operate all three courses.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_03: We have Lake Caroline and Whisper Lake in Madison, and Patrick Farms is in Pearl over there by the airport.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I I you know I'm a golf group by trade.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm more of a general manager at the moment um and kind of move around and work all of our events and planning and and help all our employees with anything they need.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm I'm everywhere.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's cool.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um me and Johnny used to I used to live out North Bay, that's where I grew up.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: And so um when I go home, I hate to see that course is closed and it's just essentially just like a park now.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: My parents lived back there on number six, and you can still kind of see some of the where the golf cart path was and some of the holes, but it's pretty much gone.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I always like Whisper Lake though because it was similar and you know it was in the neighborhood.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_01: You had to worry about hitting people's houses and stuff like that.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: It was always a good time.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's right.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and that that's a horrible thing to see, and that's what brought us back to Madison.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Randy, Randy purchased Lake Caroline in 2009 and renovated it.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_03: It had grown up and grown over for three years, and and uh we kind of brought that thing back and and it's it's just rocking and rolling right now.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_03: We can't fit any more garf golfers on it.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember when we when we played in high school, it seems like um it was like a link style course because it had the big tall grass and and all that kind of stuff when it first opened.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, it was it's a little different than that now.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: We we changed up some stuff, uh made them more look a little more uh member friendly, but it's uh it's still one of the best golf course around here to play for sure.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_03: It's a lot of fun.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_03: It's very, very member friendly, not super long, but it it can play big defense.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_03: We've had um some PGA tour qualifying schools here and uh some Monday qualifiers for the big event, the Sanderson.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_03: So it definitely can hold its own, but also be friendly to the members.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_03: So it's a it's a lot of fun, just like Whisper Lake and uh and then Batch of Arms.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, well, Cal, you know, you know me and you know my uh my flight with CF and how I've dealt with that my whole life.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: And we do this podcast, you know, that's kind of how we started doing putting this thing together, you know, really as a as a fundraiser for CF.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and then but also to to uh to share my story and let people know about my fight with CF.
• 11:03
  SPEAKER_02: And and it's kind of grown through through the past, I guess, almost two years now.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: We've been doing this.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and uh anyway, um, so I know you have a um I have a special connection in your life with with your daughter, and I see stuff stuff y'all are doing all the time with Andy's army.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_02: Just so it's so awesome to see what y'all are doing.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: And uh, you want you want to talk a little bit about that, or yeah, sure.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, and definitely, you know, you kind of helped me going through my situation, just knowing you forever and and you know, saying that everything's gonna be all right.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_03: And I've seen, you know, you've always been somebody I've looked up to as one of the strongest people I ever know.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_03: And I just appreciate our friendship.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_03: And and now I've got my little Andy was born um, well, almost four years ago.

  SPEAKER_03: So coming up, she'll be four years old.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_03: She was born with Down syndrome, and we we didn't know until she was born.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_03: The um my wife ended up having to have a C-section, and we knew they told us uh a few seconds later.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_03: So it was kind of one of those initial shock um deals that we went through.
• 12:02
  SPEAKER_03: And and uh, but we were fortunate with this community that we have around us, man.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_03: They they just uh scooped us up and and helped us with education.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_03: A organization called Central Mississippi Down Syndrome Society had someone meet us there at the hospital and gave us a big old binder with all kinds of information.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's just kind of overwhelming the um what people did for us at the time of Andy's birth and and explained that everything's gonna be all right.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_03: You just don't you just don't know.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_03: And that was it.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_03: I was ignorant um to how beautiful of a thing that we had, you know, just like everyone that has a child.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_03: And and and so what Andy's Army is that's that's our little uh organization.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_03: We are it's a nonprofit now.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_03: Um it started out just to be a golf tournament, raised a little money to help out, and it's turned into a uh an animal.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's a it's a two-day tournament that uh we have 370-something golfers this year.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_03: I want to say it's got to be the biggest uh charity golf tournament in the state by numbers, not necessarily by money, but um, and raise a really good bit of amount of money each year and um give it to a couple organizations here, Central Mississippi Down Syndrome Society, who um I'm now on the board with, but also um we really believe in what they do.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_03: And then um the little lighthouse of Central Mississippi.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_03: They're they're a school that takes it's a non uh non-um tuition school where they take in kids and and with special needs.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_03: And early on, Andy got in when she's one.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_03: Um, so she's been having her therapies and occupational speech, physical, all those therapies since day one, um, just because of this community.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_03: And that that's kind of what Andy's Army, our fundraiser, goes to support things like that in our community.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_03: And um, man, my golf people have just really rallied around us.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_03: That's we we thought we were gonna have a small little tournament, raise a couple thousand dollars, and um people showed up to play in the first one, and and we had to add a day.
• 13:56

  SPEAKER_03: That's so awesome.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_03: That's really cool.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: Man, that is really cool to hear.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: It um kind of inspires me a little bit.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: Johnny, we may we may need to have the Johnny Packer invitational and raise a little money for CF.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we could do that.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_03: Y'all, yeah, not a bad idea.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_03: We could do it right there and start well and and get a bunch of people around it.
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_03: And uh I I definitely know a guy that could help y'all on how to run a golf tournament.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_03: We see a few of those in a in a in a year.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_03: So um, but there's a great uh CF tournament down here in reunion.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_03: They just had it um a couple weeks ago.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and um I play in that usually every year with a friend of mine, uh Brooks West.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_03: His his stepbrother has a or half brother has a um has a son.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_03: I know you know them, probably John Clark.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, yep.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, yeah.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: Gosh, I remember that tournament when I was little.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: Um, it was always at Colonial Country Club.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_02: And uh I remember going and speaking as a little kid, and uh yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: Speaking of that, uh gosh, I was in Jackson for the uh Sanderson Farms and I was on Old Kent Road.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: And gosh, have you seen Colonial?
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's completely torn down, and there's apartments there.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I was like, it's so weird.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_03: Crazy transition over the years, what's happened down there.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_03: But um there's still an outside hope that they're gonna put a little small course as I've heard some talk on that.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_03: I don't I don't know if that's got down the line, but um but yeah, apartments up and it's a whole new look.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it sure is.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's cool that the CF golf tournament's still going on because I hadn't been in a long time, so that's awesome.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: Uh they're keeping it up.
• 17:30
  SPEAKER_02: Good deal.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_02: Well, well, Brandon, you want to talk about some picks and go through all this stuff?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, sir.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: So we had a new winner last week.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Um we got him got a he emailed us back and we sent him some coffee this week's in some Hub City grind.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: And so um, I did go to the uh Memphis Coffee Expo this past weekend.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: It was pretty cool.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: There was probably 15 or 16 coffee roasters there, and you get to go around and they give you um, you get to basically sample all their coffee.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: And so I was pretty uh caffeined up after I left there.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: But there was a couple guys, uh there was a company that's out of Nashville.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: The guy I talked to is actually a state grad, and so I'm trying to uh stir up some stuff, maybe get them to to do some roast for us.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: So more to come on that, but it was it was pretty fun to go to that.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: But um, but yeah, the picks are going well.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I think it's still a pretty tight race.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen the updated standings as far as the um you know the full the overall standings.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Have you looked at that?
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it looks like our friend uh Tommy Robinson, uh swing your sword, I think is uh is number one on the list.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: And then the elite mother is number two.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_02: Uh if you're listening, still hadn't reached out to us.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: We got you something.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_02: But uh yeah, it's gonna, I think I dropped down to seven or eighth.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_02: I think you're you're you're you might be ahead of me a little bit.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: But uh yes, neck and neck, down to the wire.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so yes, it's gonna be it's gonna be fun.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_02: I know some people uh forgot to put their picks in, and like I say every week, you know, if you forget to pick your picks, put your picks in, it's gonna cost you in the overall standings, but uh but we got a couple more weeks left and it's been fun.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's a really fun way to keep up doing it and and uh and also to uh help us with what we got going on with the um coffee stuff and and spreading words about CF.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_02: So uh so yeah, keep up making the picks and uh and we'll see who uh who the last man standing is, I guess.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, uh, what do y'all think about the game this weekend?
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's a good question.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_02: You know, the uh the the Mike Leach effect, I talked about at the beginning of the season, it's uh is you know you get coaches like for instance Dan Mullen, you know, you knew the game's going in, he's gonna win, you know the games is gonna lose.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: It was just like clockwork.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna beat the team he's supposed to and lose the team he's supposed to.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_02: Well, Mike Leach, you never know.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: That's one thing I like about him is I mean, he could go in there and and lose to someone like, you know, he almost dropped the game to Auburn last week when we were heavily favored.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: And then last year, you know, he he'll he knocked off AM at college station.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: So you never know what what you're gonna get with Mike Leach.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that's the that's the thing that's been his forte, I guess, his whole whole career.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm not gonna say we don't have a chance at all.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really not.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: I don't I want to say there's a chance.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_02: There's a so you're staying there's a chance, there's a small chance that he could he could uh he could he could pull the upset.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, Georgia ranked number one in the country uh coming in.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean they're loaded, you know, it's gonna be hard.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be extremely hard to pull off to win.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_02: But I just hope they can keep the game close and not be a blowout.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_02: But uh I'm I'm not gonna say we're gonna pull the upset on it, but I do think that that if they can uh can hang with it.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, seems like in the first half of the Mississippi State games this year, um, you know, we've been playing well, coming out, firing, and and then somehow, some way, the defense just gives up in the second half.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_02: And then we saw that against Auburn last week.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_02: It happened that they let Auburn back in the game, you know, that happened earlier in the season at LSU, had that game under control.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_02: And so I don't know what it is.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_02: And if that happens this week against Georgia, and we come out strong, it's gonna be, I think the crowd will be into it, it'll be awesome.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_02: But we cannot afford to come out in the second half, and and uh and you know, because it's gonna get really ugly fast.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_02: So um, so with that being said, I I don't know.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's it's it's gonna be a tough one to tough one to pick.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_02: I definitely would pick Georgia to win, but as far as the score picking, I really don't know.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_02: What what do you guys think?
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I I like what you're saying.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_03: I I I'm it's not a just a give up game.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you'd think I'd come in saying Georgia, Georgia's gonna run.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_03: But um, I've been a Georgia fan way too long.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_03: We we um I hope y'all come out strong because typically Georgia plays better against teams that are rolling.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_03: Um, it's the Kent States and Missouri's of the world that get in trouble.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_03: Um but uh Will Rogers has seen him before.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_03: I I think that's a good thing.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: He played a In 2020, in a great game.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: It was it was a close game and uh Georgia just snuck one away at the end.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_03: So um, and I think like you said, they've got to stay on it for all four quarters where Georgia is gonna stay on it all four quarters.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_03: There's there's they're they'll get stronger as the game goes because of their depth.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it's insane.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_03: So I think we're gonna have to get some good breaks early.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, it's just tough to cover Georgia this year.
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_03: Last year, I don't think our offense was as good.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: Now that we've got these two tight ends that you have to cover them up, and that leaves so much else open.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, they've got Brock Bowers and Darnell watching on both sides of the ball, and you just can't you can't leave one of them open, and then it lets somebody, you know, the run game take over.
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_03: I wish Georgia would run it a little more, but that offense, of course, there probably knows a little bit more about football than I do, so I'm letting him roll with it.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_03: But um, it's been a season to watch.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: But um, I think I think like you said, if if if if Mississippi State gets to a slow start, it's gonna not be pretty.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_03: But if they if they hang in there with them, uh typically this game, this game, this Georgia Mississippi State rivalry is always a pretty close game.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_03: There's just been a few knockouts along the way.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_03: I've been to a lot of them, but the last time it was in Starbucks, guess who won?
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the dogs won, I think.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_03: Won it?
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_03: Mississippi State.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_03: Mississippi State, yeah, yeah.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_03: And that was a long time ago, 2010.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, Mullen's second year.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, you know, and you're talking about that game in 2020.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_02: I remember this.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_02: That that game, I mean, everyone was expecting Georgia to just roll over Mississippi State just unmercifully, because if you remember, uh, that was the game state had only like a certain amount of players playing.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_02: It was during the COVID year.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_02: I think they had some players in COVID or something, but they were not, I mean, they barely had enough to to bring over to Athens to play the game.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_02: And I remember a lot of people were saying, Why are why is Leech even taking them over there?
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_02: Blah blah blah and all that stuff.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like you said, it was really close game, and and uh, and they they didn't even hardly had a team.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, it you never know.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_02: You never know when it comes to the comes to state for sure.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_03: It was JT Daniels' first game, and he had like a blowout awesome game.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_03: He had like four four touchdowns, and uh I mean, uh Will Rogers played great too.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it was it was great to be in that game for sure.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_03: Well, Brandon, what do you think, man?
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, guys, I mean, I I like I like to hear what all y'all are saying here, but I'm gonna have to go with what my buddy Rackham Willie says.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_03: I don't even want to know.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just afraid he's like, we're gonna feel the bulldog bite.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's not gonna be anywhere close.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like like what Johnny said about the Alabama game.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's like 45 to 3 or something like that.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_01: I just I don't see how we can move the ball or do anything against them.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_03: Georgia's defense is is very, very legit.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it's gotten it's gotten us.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, as a Georgia fan, I'm spoiled.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_03: I I hate to say it, um, but uh if when somebody scores a touchdown, I'm like deflated, you know.
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_03: Where that shouldn't be the case, you know, like Johnny said earlier, a win's a win.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_03: Just take the uh their defense is something else.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_03: We've got a very um uh um back our back defensive backfield is so um strong this year, which which is gonna be tough against uh Will.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_03: But um he might be able to throw it underneath them or or get some long shots.
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_03: Who knows?
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not sure.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be interesting.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: Hopefully, uh hopefully we'll have a good crowd.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, um it's gonna be the schedule that played out weird at Mississippi State this year.
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: We've had three home games, then we had to break for like a month, and now we have three home games in a row again.
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: And uh so hopefully some um the fans will show up and support the team because they definitely feed off of that.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_02: So uh being a night game, it'll be under the lights, so it'll be cool.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: So um we'll see what happens.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm not you know, games like this is pretty cool.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: Uh because you're you go into as a state fan, you go into it like not expecting to win and expecting to get blown out.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_02: And then if you play well, you know, you feel good about it, and then if you pull the upset, you're extremely happy.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_02: So so uh we'll we'll see what happens.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, like I said, I saw on Twitter people are already planning on the the exit strategies to get on the field and tear down the goalposts.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll see what happens on Saturday night if the goal posts come down or not.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: Hopefully, Mississippi State's learned their lesson about goalposts and they have the breakup.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_03: But uh yeah, you know, a fun fact for uh me and Johnny and and we I my first year was 1999 where our last home game was the Ole Miss game where we we won at the buzzer, you know, with field goal and ripped down the goalpost.
• 26:48
  SPEAKER_03: And then our next home game was Florida at home in in 2000, tore down the goal post back-to-back games, tore it tore down the goalposts in back-to-back games.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_03: Uh there's got to be a that's a recording that's gotta be a record in SEC somewhere, just regular season games, no big deal.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: And still all these years later, I cannot believe.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: Can you believe the fact that we tore down the goalpost, beating Ole Miss?
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_02: That's just I still can't believe we did that.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's kind of strange.
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_03: I guess the way you don't know why they did that.
• 27:18
  SPEAKER_03: And we we were undefeated at home.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_03: It's not like it was uh we we upset the big team, it was just how we won the game, I guess.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_03: And yeah, good at we were just some crazy fans.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_03: That's it.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, I was on I was on that field.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's uh that's a record, it has to be a record back-to-back games, yeah, tearing out the goalposts.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: So uh so we'll see what happens on uh on Saturday night and start.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_02: Well, if they if the goal posts come down or or not, but uh it'll be interesting either way.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_01: Well, give us a score, Joni.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: All right, I I'll give you a score.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: Uh let's see.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say uh Georgia 42 and Mississippi State uh 20.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_03: What about you, Kyle?
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: I got I'm gonna stick close to Vegas, so about like you did.
• 28:10
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go 34 or 17.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I think I think state, I think state will score some, but I don't think they'll be able to hang with them.
• 28:18
  SPEAKER_02: I think uh Georgia's gonna turn on turn on the gas and run away with it.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll see what happens.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_02: Uh that's why that's why we're fans and we like like to be excited by it.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_03: So we'll see, we'll see uh how it all turns out.
• 28:32
  SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be cold.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_03: Uh it's gonna get down to 30 that night, but uh I'll probably have some maroon on underneath me somewhere so I can switch the fan base if I need to.
• 28:41
