  Speaker 1: Jonathan Hutton. How are you, Jonathan? How are you? Good? Wonderful, Chad.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: We've got Walker Jones coming up from the Grove Collective
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: down there in Oxford. He's joining us in about 15
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: minutes or so. Straight ahead, we have the top 10
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: games of the college football weekend. But first, Clay Travis Law.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Accidents don't wait for good timing. One bad moment, a wreck,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: a fall, a doctor who wasn't paying attention. Suddenly, you're
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: fighting an insurance company that does this every single day.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: And that's why Clay started Clay Travis Law. He's a
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Vanderbilt Law grad, and he built a firm around the
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: idea that people deserve someone willing to pay attention, ask
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the hard questions, and push back when things don't add up.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Experienced trial attorneys who bring the fight to corporations and insurers.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Based in Nashville and trusted across the country. Car and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: truck wrecks, rideshare accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, product liability.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: If you were wrong, they want to hear about it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: And here's what they promise.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Honesty.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: They're not going to.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Sugarcoat your case. You'll hear what it's actually worth, not
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: what you want to hear. Case evaluation is free, no charge,

  Speaker 3: Chad, it is time for your top 10 college football games.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Of the weekend. Hutton, it is.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Let's roll with it. It is a good weekend across
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: college football this weekend. Let's start with game number 10.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: NC State at Vanderbilt. The Doors, a three-point favorite. 12.45 p.m.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Eastern time kick on the SEC Network. The Jared Curtis
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: era officially begins. It took into game three, but Curtis,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: the five-star freshman from Nashville Christian, officially.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: The starter for Vandy. Vanderbilt's got to run the football better.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: They averaged 2.6 yards per carry against Delaware. You've got
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: to make C.J. Bailey one-dimensional, make him beat you with
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: his arm and not his legs. I think Clark Lee
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: is going to have a good game plan in place
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: to do that for Vanderbilt. I think this is a good,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: close game. Vandy's not looked great so far this year.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: We saw NC State in that first game against Virginia
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: have all sorts of problems. But I think this is
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Vandy's game to lose. I think they'd have to lose
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: this one. They're better than NC State.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: They're at home. They should win this football game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: They have, so right now, the over-under I have is
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: 50.5 at Hard Rock Bet. And the under has hit
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: for Vanderbilt four of the last five games. We've certainly
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: seen it hit in the previous games that they've played
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: this season. I don't know why you wouldn't play that
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: again here with the freshman making his first start, unless
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: you think.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: He's going for the bundle and they're going to put
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: up some points.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I think this is a process of trying to bring
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: the freshman along while you rely on your run game.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: And I'm taking the under. It's music to Clark Lee's ears.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: He is a defensive-minded head coach, so he likes hearing
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: about unders, I'm sure. But he loves to hear about
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: wins more than that. Number nine, West Virginia taking on Virginia,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the Cavs, a 10.5-point favorite, 7.30 Eastern time on ACC Network.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: This is the.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Dukes-Mayo Classic being played in Charlotte, North Carolina, at Bank
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: of America Stadium, Hutton.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Tony Elliott is trying to get to.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: 500. He is 25-26.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He is now in his fifth year at Virginia.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: He did really well last year getting Virginia to the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ACC championship game. He's done a nice job here of late.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It was a slow build at Virginia for him. That's
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: why he's just now inching towards. 500 on his career.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: But this Virginia team looked really good against NC State.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: They've looked good early in the year. It's a battle
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: of two SEC transfer quarterbacks, Bo Pribula for Virginia, who's
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: looked good so far, Michael Hawkins, Jr., the former Oklahoma
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: quarterback for West Virginia in this game. This is my
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: fight song matchup of the week. Would you like to determine, Chad,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: which has the better fight song lyrics?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Yes, let's hear it. For Virginia, that good old song
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of Wahoo Wah. I think that's how they say it. Wahoo? Yep.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: We'll sing it o'er and o'er. It cheers our hearts
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: and warms our blood to hear them shout and roar.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: We come from old Virginia where all is bright and gay.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Let's all join hands and give a yell for the
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: dear old UVA. And then West Virginia. Let me go
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: ahead and say that's going to be very tough to beat.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: West Virginia really needs to bring it. If John Denver
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: didn't write the West Virginia fight song many years ago,
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think they're beating whatever that.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Was for Virginia. Ore and Ore was part of the song.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Did it go to Ore and Ore and then to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: something else? That was outstanding. Let's hear West Virginia.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: West Virginia. It's West Virginia. West Virginia, the pride of
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: every mountaineer. Come on, you old grads. Join with us,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: young lads. It's West Virginia now we cheer. Now is
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the time, boys, to make a big noise, no matter
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: what the people say, for there is not to fear.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: The gang's all here, so hail to West Virginia, hail.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: There is the chorus for good old West Virginia. Really good,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: really good for West Virginia. Virginia gets the nod on
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that one for the use of or and or and
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: gay in the same fight song. I think if you
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: can somehow tie in the word gay to go with
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: or and or, You're a winner, and for.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: That reason, Virginia beats West Virginia in that one.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And let's face it, Virginia, a double-digit favorite in this game,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: probably going to beat West Virginia on the field also.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: But West Virginia has played well in Charlotte. They have
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a good record when they play neutral site games or
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: bowl games in Charlotte.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Game number eight, North Carolina. Boy, oh, boy.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: A lot swirling around that program. You've got Steve Belichick,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Bill's son. He's had to resign because of health issues.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Also some extracurricular activities, possibly with Belichick and Michael Lombardi.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: They're both resigning. Is Bill Belichick in this thing for
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: the long haul? I doubt it. But they've got a
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: football game to play this weekend. They're going to Clemson,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and Clemson's got all sorts of issues too. The Tigers
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: only a three-point favor in this game, 11 a.m. Central
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: time on ESPN. Hutton, Belichick's defense leads the way. They've
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: yet to allow 180 yards passing in either of their
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: two games. And for Clemson, it's true freshman Tate Reynolds.
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: getting the start for an injured Chris Vazina. And now
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: it is North Carolina and Clemson. I don't know what
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: to think about this game. I feel like Clemson should
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: win based on personnel, but also I think that Bill
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Belichick's going to have something for the freshman quarterback and
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: is going to make this game really, really ugly. So
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: when this line initially came out, I thought about taking
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: North Carolina just straight up to win. But then the
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: more and more I think about it, Clemson should win
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: this game, and honestly, by double digits, if we're really
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: being honest with this. They are, in their last eight, Chad,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: 7-1 against the spread as single-digit home favorites. They have
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the NFL talent. They put nine in the NFL last year,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: all in the first five rounds. Let's see that talent
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: come to fruition here against a UNC team that doesn't
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: have nearly as much, especially up front in the offensive line.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Remember when Dabo, after the first loss, and the guy
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: asked the question, he said, you're that guy, right? You're
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: that guy who comes in and stirs stuff up. How
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: would you evaluate the roster?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: The roster build is like, well, what if we only
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: lose one? Come to me the other year, we only
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: lose one.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, the road to only losing one game, Hutton,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: goes through Death Valley this weekend as UNC comes to town.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: If you lose to North Carolina, mathematically, you are eliminated
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: from only losing one game on the season after you
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: lost to LSU.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So one to watch at Clemson. Game number seven, let's
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: go to the SEC.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Jacob Lutz and his Kentucky Wildcats in College Station to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: take on the Aggies of Texas A & M. Aggies
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: number nine in the country. Sadly for Jacob Lutz, his
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Cats allowed 32 unanswered points against Alabama.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Boy, it was great.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Everything Will Stein said, let's get booze into the stadium.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Let's get loud. Let's go crazy. They're up early on Alabama,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: and the air went out of the building quickly. Their
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: drinking team had a football problem is what happened.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: They did, yes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: In the second half, it looked like the players were drinking,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: not just the fans for Kentucky. I will say this
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: for Will Stein. Best sales pitch about him as a
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: coach right now is Oregon's decline.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Without him. I mean, you want to talk about a
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: missing link.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Will Stein as offensive coordinator for Dante Moore certainly looks
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: like that's been a big drop-off so far early in
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the season for Clemson.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: A & M Hutton has six.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: Takeaways already on the year through two games. Mike Yelko,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: we know he's a great defensive schemer. He's going to
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: turn you over. Kenny Menchie making his third start, that's
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: going to be a problem, I think, on the road
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: for Kentucky. I think there's going to be three-plus turnovers.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: In this game for the Wildcats, I like A &
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: M to roll in this game.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: But that's our game number seven.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Kentucky 3-8 against the spread, against the SEC on the road.
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: It's hit the under for Kentucky on the road in
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: the conference seven of the last ten games. I would
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: follow those trends, and I would take A & M
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: minus 13.5. Do you remember a year ago when every
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: single Florida game was a referendum on Billy Napier? where
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: you were waiting for every game to be like, oh,
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: this is the one.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, let's look at that one next week.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Oh, if they look bad in that game, that's where
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: he's getting fired, or this is what's going to happen.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: His Sunshine State brethren in Mike Norvell is facing the
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: same situation right now in Florida State.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Florida State is at Alabama. Alabama's ranked 10th.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Alabama's a 19.5-point favorite at Hard Rock Bet. Game's at
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: 3.30 Eastern time on ABC. Mike Norvell this week There
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: were pictures of him having moving trucks out in front
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: of his mansion in Tallahassee. Now, it's later come out
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: that he had new furniture put into his place or
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: his wife was having something delivered.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: How convenient.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: When he was asked about it, he gave a non-answer
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: to something he could have easily answered. Now maybe he
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: doesn't want people in his furniture moving business. Maybe he
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: didn't know that his wife was having furniture delivered because
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: he's in the facility all day. I don't know what's
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: going on there, but that answer for Mike Norvell is
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: where he's basically, you know, I'm just focused on the
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: football team. And, oh, you guys saw moving trucks, huh? Oh,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: that's interesting. Well, I'm just focused on the team. Like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: it was a denial that made it sound like he's
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: already been fired by the interim athletic director after the
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: AD at Florida State got fired. Hutton, this feels like
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: another one of those games that they get completely blown out,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: which could very well happen in this game.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: We're seeing the end of Mike Norvell at Florida State.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Yes, and he will get paid to fail. It's just
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: a matter of time. The buyouts are coming. He'll be
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: able to buy his own fleet of moving trucks. I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: don't know what the confusion is all about. There is
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a difference between a furniture truck delivery, clear delivery truck,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: versus a moving truck. You can tell just based on
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: how things are wrapped coming out of the house or
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: going in with a box and things like that. I
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: think it's pretty easy to tell, Chad. Well, and this
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: is what whoever took that photo. I don't know how
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: the photo circulated because it looked like it was from
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: his front yard. It was like from his front porch,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: taking it outside the gate of people. Maybe it was
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: a neighbor. But you would think, like, you're trying to
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: stir it up because the neighbor could have easily just
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: filmed to see, oh, they're delivering furniture at that point and, like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: continue filming and not post it. But instead, they stoked
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: the fires of whatever's going on.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was Russini's spy. Could be. Could be TMZ.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: I didn't know Tallahassee had a big TMZ presence, but
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: that could also be the case. Hey, it's also poetic
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that Alabama could deliver the death knell to Florida State
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: because it's Alabama that helped provide him with a huge buyout.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: If you remember, end of that 2023 season or whatever
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: it was, 2024, 2023, the last year of the 14 playoff,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Florida State had the great run.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They get snubbed.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Alabama sniffing around for the coach, and then he signs
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: that big extension with Florida State, and that's a big
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: reason why they have to pay him so much to
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: fail at this point. It's between $ 48 million and $ 51 million,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: his buyout.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: It's crazy.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It also goes down by like $ 2 million every week.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: From here on out.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's a weird de-escalation of buyout this season where it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: like a few hundred thousand dollars every day the buyout
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: goes out if they've decided to hold up. $ 45 million
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: if he's fired after the season. Yeah, I mean, that's
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: the storyline of this game. Alabama's going to win easily.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: It's about the Mike Norvell watch. Game number five, terrific
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: game in the ACC. Number 16, SMU on the road
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: at Papa John's Stadium to take on number 23, Louisville.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: The card's a one-and-a-half point favorite. 3.30 Eastern time. on ESPN2.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Is this game an ACC elimination game? Both teams look
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: really good early, and neither play Miami. So keep that
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: in mind. In terms of head-to-head, no matter whatever they lose,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: the winner of this game is going to have that head-to-head,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and they avoid Miami to possibly reach that ACC championship
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: game against Miami, which, by the way, looks far and
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: away better than everyone else. Now, they haven't played anybody yet.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: They look far and away better than everyone else.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: In the ACC.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Kevin Jennings, SMU quarterback, has completed 80% of his passes
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: so far this year.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: Really good passing attack for Rhett Lashley. And they're not
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: all short passes either from the highlights I see.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: No, no.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are very, very good.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: Jeff Braun, by the way, he beats Miami and James
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Madison a year ago, a couple of playoff teams. Has
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a propensity to lose games he shouldn't and wins the
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: big games at Louisville.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Is that a sign? I think so.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I like Louisville to get it done at home. I
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: thought they impressed against Ole Miss Hutton. I think Jeff
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Brom rallies in big games like this. I think they
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: get that head-to-head win over SMU this weekend.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And they play well at home in the ACC as well.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: That's a factor.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: And SMU, by the way, the over has hit in
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: their games eight of the last ten matchups.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: The over is 60-and-a-half. It's steep, but both teams are
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: going to put up points.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Something to keep in mind at Hard Rock Bet if
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: you're playing that game. Game number four, we go from
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: ACC showdown to Big 12 showdown.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Number 22, Houston.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: On the road in Lubbock to take on 13th-ranked Texas Tech,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: the Red Raiders, a 7.5-point favorite in this game. Tonight,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: this has got to be a Timmy B special. We've
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: got to look up and see if Tim Brando's on
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the call, but Tim Brando needs to be on the
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: call this game. 7 o'clock Central Time on Fox. We
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: can watch the end of this from Oxford, Mississippi, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a heck of a
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: football game. Tech has looked average so far this season,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: and I did not expect that coming in. Against Oregon State,
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: they win 35-24. That game was close into the fourth quarter.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Tech's defense a year ago only gave up 20 or
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: more points twice all year.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: And that was in both losses on the season. They
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: gave up 24 to Oregon State this past weekend.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Not a great sign.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Connor Wigman for Houston feels like he's 35 years old.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: How long have we been talking about Connor Wigman in
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: college football?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Forever.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: We were there at A & M when he was hurt, right,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: in that game, that win.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: That was 2021. Yep.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: And here we are in 2026, and Connor Wigman is
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: still a college quarterback at Houston.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Really good quarterback, too. So Houston, Texas Tech tonight.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Tech has won seven in a row in 12 of
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: the past 13 here against these.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Is Timmy B on the call? I hope we found that.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: They didn't list it. It just says, yes, Tim Brando
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: is on the call. Nice. With Devin Gardner. Yes, he
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: is on the call tonight. You're looking live. I love it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: He's going to channel his inner Brent Musburger tonight when
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: he opens that show. All right. Game number three, let's
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: cut the BS. It's the SEC's world right now, early
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: season going. They are winning the battle with the Big Ten. Yes,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten has the national titles. The SEC has
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the depth. They have the power right now, and they
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: have the matchups this week, so much so that my
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: top three games are all going to be SEC games.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Game number three, Florida.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: The Gators on the road at Auburn, a two-and-a-half-point favorite,
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: 7 o'clock Eastern time on ESPN. The Gators haven't played anybody.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Florida Atlantic and Campbell have been their two opponents. Auburn struggled,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: especially offensively, in their one game against, let's face it,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a pretty average to below Baylor team in that one-point game.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Game that would have been lost had DJ Lagway been
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: able to lead his receiver into the end zone on
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: that two-point conversion. But this is a game where John
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Sumrall is now going to face a team. He grew
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: up in Huntsville, Alabama. He could have been Auburn's coach.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: He chose Florida. over Auburn, and now he goes to
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Jordan-Hare Stadium to take on the Tigers. I love this matchup.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: Big game for both teams sort of in the middle,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: middle to maybe bottom half of the SEC. I think
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: for Florida and Auburn to come out on top, so
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: a big one, and Florida is a slight road favorite.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: In this game.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Right now, Chad, at hard rock bet, over under at 51.5.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: I'm taking the under in this game. I think this
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: is a rock fight.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. Auburn's defense is good.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Auburn's offense has not gotten going under Alex Golish, but
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that defense is really good.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Game number two.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: This is maybe my favorite game of the week. It's
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: certainly not the biggest game of the week, but I
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: am very interested in Mississippi State at South Carolina. Gamecock's
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: a four-point favorite. You know who's not interested in it? ESPN,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: because they put this game on the SEC Network at
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: 3.15 p.m., which is not a primetime slot for college
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: football games. But this game, to me, holds a lot
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: of significance for both teams. Kamario Taylor and Mississippi State,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I believe, are the real deal. I think they are
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: a team that could challenge for a college football playoff spot.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: I think they're the surprise team in the SEC this
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: year because Kamario Taylor is an absolute dude. South Carolina's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: got one of those quarterbacks, too, Lenore Sellers. So who
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: wins the battle of great quarterbacks? It's only a four-point spread.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: South Carolina slightly favored in this game.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I can't wait.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: We'll be in the Grove tailgating, probably checking out a
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: phone or a TV somewhere watching Mississippi State and South Carolina. Chad,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Mississippi State's 2-8 in their last 10 SEC road games.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I'm taking the Bulldogs straight up in this game to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: win on the road.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: That's what I would bet as well. I think Mississippi
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: State wins this football game, and I cannot wait to
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: watch it. And there's going to be a lot of
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: interest in that game, too, with all the Ole Miss
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: people checking out Mississippi State.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, for sure. As we're there getting ready for–
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: what are we getting ready for? The number one game
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: of the week. LSU and Ole Miss.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: It's game number one. It might be the biggest game
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: of the season in the SEC. We'll see how everything
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: shakes out and what it looks like by the end
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: of the year. But there's no mistaking a main, big-time,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: major event, and that's what this is.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: In Oxford, Mississippi.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: So much so, we're going to get done with this show,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: drive down to Oxford, have a live show for you tonight,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: 7 o'clock Central Time at Funky's on the Square. Hunt
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: and I will be there. We'll have a couple special
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: guests with us. It's going to be a blast. If
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: you're in Oxford, come say hi. Come hang out with us.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Come say hello. We're going to have a good time.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: A lot more coming on that game tonight during our
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: live show, but I mean, we've talked about it all week.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Everyone's talked about it. It's Lane Kiffin's return tonight. Big-time matchup.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: Trinidad Chambliss, who Lane Kiffin thought he was going to
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: get at LSU when he helped fight for him legally
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: to get that extra year. Instead, he stays with Pete
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Golding at Ole Miss. So many different storylines. You got
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Landry Kiffin starting a clothing line. Fifth year also, and
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: she's still a student at Ole Miss. And frat houses
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: are hanging banners that aren't very complimentary of Landry Kiffin
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: all over campus, even though she's a current Ole Miss student. Hutton,
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: I can't wait for this one. Can't wait to get
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: down to Oxford this evening. What's the scene like? We
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: will set the scene. Walker Jones, he joins us next.

  Speaker 3: That's Crockett, C-R-O-C-K-E-T-T-Coffee.com. Walker Jones joins us. He's with the
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Grove Collective, great friend of the show. Walker, thank you
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: for the time, man. The anticipation for the college football playoff.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: compared to the anticipation for this game? How does it
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: compare and how is it different?
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's different in the sense that I think
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: there was so much focus on the actual game for
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: the playoffs and winning a playoff game and what was
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: going to happen on field and in the stadium. I
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: think this week has been obviously consumed by a lot
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: of off the field stuff that's going to have nothing
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: to do with the outcome of the game. And really,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: it's just noise when you break it down. So I
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: think there's a lot of extracurricular noise and storylines that
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: did not exist with the playoff. The playoff was simply
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: about us trying to win our first playoff game. the
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: atmosphere in the stadium, advancing to a quarterfinal game against
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: Georgia in the Sugar Bowl and how we would play. Unfortunately,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: most of the focus has been about things that are
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: going to have nothing to do with winning a game
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: at 6.30 tomorrow and more about these storylines that have
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: been created with all the noise out there. I think
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: we've tried to, as much as we can, focus on
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: How do we win a football game and try to
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: block out those things? But it has been really hard
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: with all the different narratives out there. It's been a long–
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: you can probably hear my voice. It's been a long week,
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: really long week.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: How has everyone in Oxford escaped this if you tried to?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: It's so just in your face and all the time,
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: this storyline of Kiffin coming back to Oxford. How does
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the team– how does the team focus on the game?
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: How does administration focus on that?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Easier said than done.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: You know, the reality is this is, you know, a
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: little bit of like, kind of like the playoff run
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: This is kind of a one-of-one.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Not many people have been through this, this kind of
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: return with this much vitriol and hatred and You know, again,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: storylines of different things out there. And and I think,
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: you know, what I've tried to what we've tried to
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: do is focus on, you know, being there for our
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: players to try to insulate them as much as possible
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: to focus on on the, you know, the first SEC
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: game of the year, which has been hard.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: But I think our players have done a great job
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: and our coaches done a great job of living in
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: that building, living in the moment.
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: And here's the other thing, too, is almost, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: roughly half of our team was not recruited by the
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: previous coach and that staff or ever played for him.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: And that's an advantage now in today's world of roster construction.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: You have so many new faces that have come in.
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: And there's a lot of guys that are going to
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: play a lot of snaps tomorrow night that have probably
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: never met Coach Kiffin or the previous staff.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And so I think that helps a little bit.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Obviously, there's a core group of guys that were part
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: of that team last year where it probably feels a
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: little different. But a large part of our team, they're
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: really just, hey, this is just another big SEC matchup
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: because they weren't here and didn't play for the previous staff.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So I think that's.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Probably helped a little bit with the guys that returned
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: from last year to just focus on the game because
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: they don't really have any context of what happened nine
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: months ago.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: More important question, Walker. Who does Briarcrest play tonight? Because
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: he's got a big game, I'm sure.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, we do. We got SBA tonight here in Memphis.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, they got a big game tonight, and hopefully
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: they stay undefeated. And we're going to watch a little
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: high school football, and then we're going to hightail it
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: to Oxford late tonight. So it's going to be a
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: fun weekend kicking off with high school football.
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: This is Hutton's first ever trip to Oxford.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: We're about to embark on over the weekend. I've hyped
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: it up to him appropriately about what the scene is
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: like and what the town is like. I think for
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of people– College Game Day is there. Morgan
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Freeman is a celebrity guest picker. This is going to
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: be just a huge showcase for that as an SEC
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: market and as a town. How excited does that make you?
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Because all the noise has been about the governor of
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: Louisiana saying the National Guard needs to be called and
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: walls and fences being built around the LSU buses. How
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: much of a positive do you see this as for Oxford, Mississippi,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: that all this attention is coming this weekend?
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Well, that's a great point.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what we've tried to, I know
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: our administration, our chancellor, our athletic director, the school has
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: done a great job of trying to stress that. Hey, look,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: we're the center of college football, really the center of
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: the sports world this weekend. And let's use that to
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: publicize all the great things that make Ole Miss and
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Oxford special. Let's really try to stay away from showing
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: an ugly side to this and doing things that are
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: going to bring ridicule to a great town and a
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: great fan base and a great university. Let's take advantage
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: of the platform that we have to showcase all the
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: great things that people feel when they come here. Coach
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Golding said it in his press conference on Monday that
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: when he gets asked about what would be the message
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: to the fans, he And the message to the fans is, hey, everybody,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: when they come to Ole Miss, they have such a
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: great feeling, the tailgating, the Grove, the city, the tradition.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Let's don't forget that. And we've got great people. And
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: the one thing people always say when they come here is, man,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the people are so great.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: The people are so nice.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: Southern hospitality at its finest. And let's remember that. Yes,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: we want to cheer loud. Do we want to be raucous?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: Do we want to create an unbelievable home environment?
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: No doubt.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: But let's focus on that. And again, that's been the
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: message from our coach, from our administration is, you know,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: all the wonderful things that make Oxford great. I'm glad
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: you guys are going to get to experience it. And
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I just hope it stays that way. And, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: that may be wishful thinking. I think there'll be unfortunately
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: there'll be, you know, a lot of emotion. But hopefully
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the rivalry and the competition will win out. Instead of,
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: you know, anything ugly that's going to happen off the
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: field or in that stadium. And that's what I, you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: stress to our fans and for all of us is,
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: you know, we got a lot of positivity to display.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: And it's rare you get an opportunity with game day
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: and the national focus being on.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Your town and on your program.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: Think about what this means for for Golding as well.
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: You know, like everyone's been talking about Kiffin and there's
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: another coach involved.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: And if you wake up Sunday morning and Ole Miss
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: gets the win, that means he's.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: A part of that national spotlight.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think it's, you know, for Pete, I
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: know he's gone about it in his normal routine and Again,
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of questions about the familiarity of going
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: against that offense and them going against our defense for
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: those six years or for Pete the last four years.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: How is that going to play in the whole thing?
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: I think he's done a great job of compartmentalizing. Hey, look,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: we've got to coach this. Yes, there's familiarity. Yes, both
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: sides know each other very well. But it's a big
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: moment for Pete, and it's a big moment for our
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: program to show that we can sustain success even through
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: a transformational change like a head coach leaving. And you
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: always try to tell yourself, hey, our program's bigger than
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: any one person, but you never really know it until
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: it gets tested. It got tested in the playoff run
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: last year. We passed that test. Now we have another
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: opportunity to prove that that our program not only can
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: survive but flourish and sustain its national relevancy, even with
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: a change in leadership. And I think that Pete's his
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: own guy. He's going to make it his own program.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: And this is another opportunity to show everybody that we
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: can sustain success.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: You think Levitt's going to play?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: That, you know, that didn't surprise me one bit. I,
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, I saw miraculously practice yesterday.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: The injury chart.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Those of us that are old.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Enough to remember the time we put 26 guys on
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: injury report before a game and pretty much all of
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: them ended up playing. We did not lose a lot
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: of sleep or spend a lot of time worrying about
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: the injury report.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: We kind of felt like that was coming at some point.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Doubtful to questionable the next day. We called it on
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: the show. You could have predicted that pretty easily. By Saturday,
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: he'll be full go, I'm sure. I know off going
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: to be full go also. Walker, we can't wait to
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: get down there, man. We can't wait to get to
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Funky's tonight. Thanks for all your help. We're going to
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: let you save your voice a little bit. I know
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: you're going to be using it a lot more over
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: the weekend as this thing goes along, but hey, congrats
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: on everything you've accomplished with the Grove Collective, everything that
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: program has accomplished, and this is a great showcase for
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the city of Oxford and for that program and the
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: sustainability of it. So best of luck over the weekend.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: We're looking forward to getting down there.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: You guys have a safe trip down. Enjoy Oxford. Enjoy Funkies.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Have you one of the daiquiris there and Lee Harris
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: and our crew at Funkies is going to take great
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: care of y'all. There'll be a great crowd and look
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: forward to seeing you guys.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Hottie tight.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Thanks, Walker. Walker Jones, the best. Dixieland Delight
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Friday night. I like it, Chad.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Coming up 7 o'clock tonight in Oxford. Can't wait to
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: get that going. Stay tuned. More coming here on Hunting
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: With Row. If you want the official National Balls gear,
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: head over to XXXY Athletics, founded by Jennifer Say, former
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: national champion gymnast, former Levi's brand president. She walked away
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: from a corporate job rather than just saying something that
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: she didn't believe in saying. She started XXXY Athletics instead.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: The mission, in their words, is to empower female athletes
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: and take a stand for fair competition. This is Real
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: Athletic Apparel, Chad, Nashville Balls, and much more. Yes, tees,

• 31:15
  Speaker 3: That's XX-XYathletics.com. Matt Foley from Sport & State, great piece, very,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: very creative piece. with this, where he was noticing and
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: noted Kirk Cousins had become hooked on In-N-Out since he's
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: been out West. And Cousins, he loves In-N-Out, but Foley writes,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: but is Cousins an In-N-Out burger?
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: No.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is Fuddruckers. And Matt Foley, again, very, very
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: good job with this. More importantly, what burger best represents
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: every NFL starting quarterback? So he writes, last night, I
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: jumped into the lab and developed the quarterback burger equivalency system,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: the QBES, using six universally accepted measurements, quality, consistency, style,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: regional devotion, public perception, and likelihood that something catastrophic happens. Chad,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: there are three additional rules to this. Every quarterback gets
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: a different restaurant. The burger must represent the quarterback, not
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: just where the quarterback plays, or the city where he plays.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: And Joe Flacco is included because Joe Flacco is eternal.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: You noted this and sent it around.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: I read through it. I thought it was fantastic.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: And it made me think about the ones I would
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: include just regionally for us that.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: You and I have certainly....
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: Dined in over the years. But the quarterback comparison is
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: very good across the league here. Very good job by
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: Matt Foley. I'm jealous of the idea and the write-up
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: that he did. This is very good at Sporting State.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: I did one one time. I think it was SEC
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: coaches as Yellowstone characters from the show when it was
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: popular and went through that. I am a sucker for
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: anything like this that can compare something in sports to
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: with a product or a show or an.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Actor or anything like that.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: I like looking at comps at all times. If I
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: see something online that's a comp between two people or
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: two things that aren't equivalent in their industry, I always
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: enjoy it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And this is great.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Some of my highlights from this. Aaron Rodgers as the
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: Burger King Whopper. The Whopper once stood toe-to-toe with the
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: Big Mac at the center of America's fast food consciousness.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: It still has passionate defenders, but corporate strategy has gotten
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: a little wonky. If you're looking to start an argument,
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: talk about the Whopper. And what's great about this is
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: the McDonald's Big Mac is Patrick Mahomes in this argument.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: So it said, once stood toe-to-toe with the Big Mac.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: I love that one. Maybe my favorite, though, is Kyler Murray.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: His equivalent burger is the White Castle Slider. And he
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: just says, look how tiny and cute. with Kyler Murray,
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: which is incredible. This is really well done by Matt Foley. Also,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: shout out Matt Foley with a great name, matching the
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: motivational speaker Matt Foley, Chris Farley's character on SNL. So, Chad,
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: what was the name of the burger joint we always
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: stop at on the way back from Indianapolis?
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Freddy's. Freddy's, yes. Freddy's, and there's a Freddy's on here.
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: Is there?
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: I didn't notice that. Yes, yes, let me find it.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I was just scanning and saw it. I just forgot
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: the name. I couldn't find it earlier. Absolutely, that would
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: be on my list as well. Here you've got the pharmacy.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: There's a few that are just regional or very specific
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: to Nashville that always come to mind for me. Jared Goff, Hutton,
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: is a Freddy's original double. Freddy's does not need your respect.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Freddy's will calmly make you a burger, and it will
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: be good, is the description. I would vouch for that
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: with Freddy's. Never a bad experience with a Freddy's burger.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: I'm more in and out than Whataburger. I think Whataburger
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: and Sonic are very much the same. I know that's
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: sacrilegious to some people out there. Yeah, I don't get
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: the Whataburger love, honestly. There was one in Mount Juliet
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: that closed down because no one went to it. It
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: was right next to our Little League Park. And people
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: would go next door to somewhere else. Whataburger opened like five,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: six years ago here?
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that long ago.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: It's not great. This is a great throwback here. Gino Smith.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: is a Hardee's Frisco burger. And the quote underneath it says,
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: do they still make those? About both Geno Smith and
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: the Hardee's Frisco burger. The Frisco burger was terrific. Ben,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: I haven't had a Hardee's burger in a long time.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: I've had the Hardee's sausage biscuit gravy. But I have
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: not had a burger from Hardee's in a long, long time.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: Is Wendy's represented?
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: It has to be. Wendy's is in here. I'm not
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: seeing where it is.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Any Atlanta Falcons starting quarterback is a McDonald's plain hamburger.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: That's really good. Where is Cam Ward? What is he
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: linked to?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I'm curious.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: It's got to be just, Cam Ward is a checkers,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: big Buford. We have checkers all the time in Knoxville.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: When we, we had one close to our apartment, my
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: junior year of college at UT, but we would go,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: cause it was so cheap. You could get like eight hamburgers,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: you know, five bucks or whatever. It was the fries too,
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: that made the burger too. I always thought that was
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: a great, uh, cop. Um, look, I, I'm a sucker
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: for just a creature of habit here, but give me like, uh,
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Five guys.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Give me Sonic. I'm okay with all that. Chad, locally though,
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: if you're ever.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Coming through the Nashville or mid-state area of Tennessee, Jiffy
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: Burger in Manchester.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: You and I went there on a trip recently. That
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: would be a comp if we're just doing Titans players
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: instead of NFL quarterbacks. But Jiffy Burger is legit. Burger
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Republic is also what would be on my list.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Really, really good. There's one of those out here in
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Mount Juliet also.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: I would also say Gabby's Burgers and Fries, an old-school
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: place that I really.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Like in Nashville.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: We're talking about all these burgers. It's making me hungry
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: for a burger, so I must ask the question. We
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: are about to embark on a road trip, and a
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Hutton & Withrow road trip always features a stop at where?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Arby's.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Always an Arby's stop, right? We get in the vehicle
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: together and we're immediately hungry for Arby's. We're going to
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: have to ask Jacob Lutz what he prefers.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Also, but.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know if we're going to go Arby's now
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: or a burger place, having read all these burgers right now.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: But because Arby's has the meats and because I just
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: heard that Jacob Lutz is a huge Arby's guy, you
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: can get a burger at Arby's too if you want.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there might be the Arby's burger on here
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: as an option as well. for an NFL. Yes.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett. We can have a Jacoby Brissett, which is
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: an Arby's deluxe burger. I bet you didn't know that
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Arby's sells hamburgers. Nobody plans to order an Arby's hamburger.
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: You do so because your other options aren't available. Brissett
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: is a very rich man based on this principle. Well said,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Matt Foley. And he just convinced us we are definitely
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: stopping at Arby's.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Well done. JT, your, your pick of, of all the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: burgers would be which?
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Thinking about that one, guys, I, Probably, you know, Hutton,
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: you mentioned Sonic. I've just never had a bad burger
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: at Sonic. Very consistent, tater tots.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the way they do the pickles and the mustard
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: and the onions, it's hard to beat. Back to Arby's, too,
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: the cheese sticks are underrated. That's a good go-to. I mean,
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: they've got the cheese sticks always solid.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: It's so good.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I stopped at an Arby's on the way to the
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: high school football game last week. And I nearly ordered
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: the mozzarella sticks to go. I love those things so much.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: Great call.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: We're going to Bauer Arby's when we're on the road.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: But we're getting on the road so early, Chad. We
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: may be hitting Arby's as soon as we hit Oxford.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Do they do breakfast at Arby's now? Yeah, I think
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: they do. Can we do a breakfast and lunch stop
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: at Arby's? We just stay through.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Could we do the rare Arby's duo on one road trip?
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: You stop and get the breakfast option there and then
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: stop for lunch? I may get the half pound, what
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: they used to call the big Montana.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Do you remember?
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: That?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: The Big Montana roast beef sandwich? I may get the
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: half pound beef and cheddar. I cannot not get a
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: beef and cheddar at Arby's. Every time I go, like
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I want to get something different and I can't do it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I got to get the beef and cheddar. It's so good. Man,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I can't wait. And then Lutz is in on this too.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: So it's awesome. Fantastic. I love how he chimed in.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I love Arby's. Big Arby's guy.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Don't we all?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Last time we were there, we recreated the Spurrier photo.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: We did. Yes, we did.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: After he won a big game in South Carolina, he's
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: at the drink machine, and he's got the shades on.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: Good one by Jacob. Culver's is the most underrated burger,
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: he says. You're a Culver's fan, Chad. Huge Culver's fan.
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: The way JT describes Sonic as never being disappointed, I
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: feel that way about Culver's. Any burger I've ever ordered there,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I've always enjoyed it. Um, Culver's also has the cheese curds,
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: very similar to the mozzarella stick at Arby's always delivers.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I usually get the cheese curds instead of fries.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Um, my arteries don't love that, but I do. Um, yes, it's,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: I'm a big fan.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: It's honey with row. We are presented by hard rock

  Speaker 3: It's time to prop it like it's hot, Chad. I
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: can't wait to follow your lead on the props. And
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: I've got some good ones this week as well.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Let's prop it like it's hot, shall we?
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: Yes. I'm going a little college and NFL this week.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: I am taking the over in Wake Forest and Miami
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: this week. I think, you know, heck, Miami, the way
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: they're playing, they might reach the over by themselves.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Of 55 and a half in this game. Wake Forest
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: has a good offense also. Wake Forest is just in
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: an overtime shootout with Purdue this past week. I really
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: like Wake Forest and Miami to score a bunch of points.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: That game, by the way, is tonight? Yes, tonight, Friday night,
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: 6.30 on ESPN. Miami's yet to play on a Saturday,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: to my knowledge. They've played either Thursday or Friday night,
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: their first three games of the season. And give me
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Derrick Henry to score a touchdown. We talked about him
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: earlier today. Three touchdowns in week one. I like the
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: chances of him getting one against the Saints this weekend.
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: Not only that, just scoring, but he has scored the
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: first touchdown of the game 11 times. since the 2024 season.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: That's the most among active NFL running backs. So if
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: you're just going based on chances of him being the
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: first touchdown scorer, throw a little that way too, separate,
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: and enjoy that prop.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Chad, I like it. I'm going to follow you there.
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: I've got two as well this week.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: Give me the over anytime touchdown for Dallas Goddard.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Here's why.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: The Eagles are playing the Titans. Goddard has caught eight
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: touchdown passes in the first half since the 2025 season.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: That's the most among NFL tight ends. He's also caught
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: 10 touchdown passes in the red zone last season. That's
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: tied for the most among tight ends right now in
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: the National Football League. So give me Goddard anytime touchdown
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: and over one and a half touchdown passes for Caleb
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: Williams as the Bears host the Vikings. Caleb Williams has
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: hit the touchdown pass over in his last six games
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: at home. I'm taking those odds, especially with the numbers
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: that they put up last week. So give me Caleb
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: Williams to throw at least two touchdown passes. Dallas Goddard's
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: going to score a touchdown against the Titans in what's
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: going to be Lincoln Financial Field South.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see if our bets pay off
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: this weekend. I've got to stop, too. I like this
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: one on our profit like it's hot.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: I've got to stop with just adding a game that
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I'm not confident in. to the bet last night I
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: felt great about the Bills minus five and a half
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: that happened easily and then just to sprinkle a little
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: on top I'm like oh let's look at Pitt Syracuse
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: and I went with my guy Fran Brown in Syracuse
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: to cover nine and a half did not happen they
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: lose by two touchdowns I don't know if you saw
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: but Fran Brown did the old school like middle school
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: flinch at the ref at one point he was arguing
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: with him he gave him a little like quick flinch
• 44:02
  Speaker 3: to see if he backed away like we would do
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: back in middle school.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: Things not going great for Syracuse so far this season.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Hey, one extra one. I haven't played this because they
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: didn't have the kicker props out whenever I made this
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: bet at Hard Rock. Kyme Fairbairn, the kicker for the Texans.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: He's hit the field goals over in 13 of his
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: last 16 games. Just take the over. The Texans are
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: going to kick a lot of field goals. So if
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: it's one and a half, if it's two, take the
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: over with Kyme Fairbairn. The Texans are going to kick
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: some field goals. And he normally makes them. It's just attempts, though.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: So get out there and... Prop it like it's hot
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: with us across the NFL and some of the money
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: lines across college football. I like your pick with the
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: over for Miami as well. Yeah, again, I'm seriously considering
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: they might almost get there by themselves in this game
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: the way they've been scoring points. We've got SEC lines, too,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: to show you for those looking to make some plays
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: this weekend and let it roll with the hard rock bet.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: LSU at Ole Miss is the big one. LSU favored
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: in that game. I think I would lean Ole Miss
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: money line, honestly, if I was going to bet anything.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: And we're the same on South Carolina and Mississippi State.
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: I think that's another one where the wrong team is
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: favored this week. I really like Mississippi State possibly to
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: get it done in that game. Vanderbilt, I was iffy
• 45:24
  Speaker 3: on this when this week started. Vanderbilt hasn't been good
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: defensively either. You know, like some– Some teams that should
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: be moving the football on them have been moving the football.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: This is the week, though, that gets their attention, quite frankly.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: And maybe with the freshmen starting, maybe things start to
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: solidify a bit for this team.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: They need this.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: They need to come out and have a good showing
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: against NC State. They should not lose to this team.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: They're much better on the field than NC State. So
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: I would take Vanderbilt and lay the points. But I
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: was iffy on it earlier in the week. And I
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: think Texas A & M wins and covers the spread
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: against Kentucky at home. Yeah, I think that's a boring game.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: That's my prediction. I think that's a very suffocation-like game
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: of Texas A & M' s defense as the game goes along.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: A couple turnovers will turn it. It'll feel like a
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: two-score game the whole way through. And I think A &
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: M probably covers doing that. Great thing about this weekend,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: I am only counting four cupcake-type games already in week three, right?
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Tennessee a 35.5-point favorite. Missouri 27.5 over Troy.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma, 22.5, not a gigantic line, not much more than
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: Alabama and Florida State. And then Texas coming off the
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: big win facing UTSA. So a good week in the
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: SEC for games because every other game, either close point
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: spreads or conference matchups. I realize these are better teams
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: than the opponents they've recently faced, but not that much better.
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: How is Texas and Tennessee, how are those spreads not larger?
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: When I see some of the other spreads they started
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: with the season, and they easily put those numbers up.
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: I tend to think that's a– what does.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: Vegas know here?
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: 30-and-a-half? That should be the first-half spread. You're talking about
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: Texas 30-and-a-half. Tennessee's 35-and-a-half. Yeah, I'd say that should be
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: the first-half spread. Then you've got– was it 36-and-a-half for
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: Tennessee and Kennesaw?
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: Look, I think you're factoring into those two teams meet
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: the following week.
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, looking ahead a little bit.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Well, not even just looking ahead, just like you're going
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: to try to get guys out quick.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: You know, like you want to get a three-score lead
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: and start to work your backups. You know, Tennessee in
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: the first week, like their rushing stats defensively don't look
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: great because their third and fourth string gave up 128
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: yards in the fourth quarter, rushing to Furman, you know,
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: in the first week.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: Other than that, it's.
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Been okay, but the numbers get a little skewed because
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: of mop-up duty where you're not playing all that well.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: Kennesaw State won Conference USA a year ago, so they're
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: not a bad group of five team. They also just
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: got whipped by Georgia State at home. So I don't
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: know what this year's Kennesaw State team is, is my point.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: They've got Ricky Collins, who's a former LSU quarterback, as
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: their quarterback now at Kennesaw State. But yeah, I don't
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: know that they're going to have a lot for Tennessee
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: in this game. I'm always hesitant to bet those just
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: because of what I just said. Yeah, Tennessee and Texas
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I feel like are 40-plus points better than those teams,
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: but how do they play it once they get ahead?
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: You're not concerned about it at all, but also how
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: does the game go? You're trying to get guys out quicker.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Tennessee lost their starting tight end for the season in
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: the Georgia Tech game, and Ethan Davis, who already had
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: two touchdowns on the year.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: So that's part of it.
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: Speaking of a bad weekend of college football, how about
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten's weekend? Are you ready for the cumulative
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: opponents of big 10 teams this weekend? Yes. Portland state,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Kent state, Buffalo, Akron, Eastern Michigan, Southern Illinois, UTEP, Western Kentucky,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: Northern Iowa, North Dakota, Eastern Washington, Notre Dame.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good one. Colorado.
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. Virginia tech. And then the other games are
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: conference game. Purdue, UCLA, USC is at Rutgers.
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: Uh, this week.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: That's a bad week in the Big Ten.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: That's a lot.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: You talk about the cupcake weekend and the SEC in November.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: That's as bad as any of those November weekends I've
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: ever seen. Yeah, it's homecoming for everyone. Literally everyone this
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: week across the Big Ten.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: It's fair week, Chad. It's county fair week everywhere.
