• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, um, they try to do one for away game, especially uh, you know, I think they were saying deciding this year between uh Tennessee, Georgia, and Ole Miss.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: And I've I've voted Tennessee because I mean we don't play at Knox.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Well, we played it.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: We we don't play at Georgia a lot, but we played at Georgia the past few years, actually, more uh, but we haven't played at Tennessee, I think, since uh 19.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: So, and that was we only play there about three times in the past 25 years or so.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_01: So uh really excited that that they're doing that one.

  SPEAKER_01: So it'll be cool.

• 6:45
  SPEAKER_01: You don't want to have a waste of trip.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, man, this is extremely nice people to do something like that.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, yeah.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, but it did look like it was a good turnout.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um, they do it all the weekends of October, but I had something going on every weekend, wasn't able to make it.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but Halloween night was the only night I could have gone, but I'm glad I didn't because it did.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: It was a downpour, pretty crazy.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_01: It not rained up here until that day, and then it hadn't rained since.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: So really weird how that happened.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, we went uh rode rode around the neighborhood and uh did did a lot of traditional stuff I do on Halloween.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, uh went and saw our neighbor's uh dog Bailey, who I always give rides to, so that was pretty cool.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, uh just waiting on the day till my dog Natty gets here.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so it'll be first uh but she was born uh October 25th, so she's in the world right now, and um she'll be ready at Christmas, but I'm doing extra training for her for uh uh four weeks, so I'll get her uh first of January.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_01: So can't wait.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: Nice.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that'll be good.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I did um, you know, the game was on over there at Top Golf.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, of course, it was uh it was it was a we were pretty much up pretty high by the by the time uh I was watching most of it, but when I left the house, we were actually down 10 to nothing, I think.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: And it wasn't looking great.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, because we we had done three and out, and then they they scored on their first drive, you know, classic, like six, seven-minute drive.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Defense couldn't get off the field, and then three and out right away again, and then they I think they kicked a field goal, and that's when I left the house.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: And I said, Oh man, we're just and I sent you that text that said we're about to get killed.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, UMass.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: And uh luckily though, I don't know what happened, maybe just me leaving the house.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: It they turned it around.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they did.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: That was good to get a win because uh, I mean, I know the guys have been uh we talked about that last time that they are giving their effort, doing everything they can, and then still coming out short on short end of things, and that's gotta get old after a while.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: So I know even though UMass is not a good team, at least it was good to finally get a and back in the win column.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, get some confidence back and you know, kind of see some of the results of the hard work the guys are putting in.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_00: And hopefully we carry it over to this week.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't have a lot of high expectations for it, but uh, you know, if we if we're in the game kind of like we were Georgia, you know, put up some points and and all that kind of stuff, I'll be happy.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah, moral victory.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's what that's what we're shooting for this week.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_01: Uh get another one.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_01: Because I mean, obviously, Tennessee is one of the top teams in the country.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: They're in the they're in the uh playoff pole right now.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean that we I mean, if we somehow beat them, it would be uh like Vanity beat Alabama, something like that.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: Shocked the world.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, don't see that happening at all.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: Just hope we don't get blown out and just play a competitive game and kind of do, like you said, do what we did against Georgia and uh and uh Texas and just be in the game.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_01: But I think that was a rumor BW about about Van Buren hitting the wall because he's gonna be a big thing.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, you're right.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, now whoever started that rumor, man, y'all need to get a light because that was bad.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy and stuff like that.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, um, yeah, I I look for him to have a have a decent game.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's just the defense is just terrible, man.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: That like you just can't we say that every week, you can't give up that many yards, that many points, and expect the offense to to score that many offense doing all they can't put up points.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: Defense eventually just gotta get stops.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_01: And uh Tennessee's quarterback, Nico Imalo Baba, whatever his name is.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh really good, really good play.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, he could I could see him torching us, man, running and passing.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: So uh he's a freshman, isn't he?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: So um it'll be uh it'll be hard to stop him, but uh I don't know, man.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Don't have any good uh good predic I really don't have a really good prediction of I think we'll give up 50 plus points, but I think we'll score 20 something.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_01: So I think it'll be if I had to pick the score, man, I'd say something like 50 uh 52, 21, something like that.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_01: What about you?
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think their defense is a little bit better than some of the other other teams we've played.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: So I I could see it being 48, 14, somewhere, somewhere like that.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm thinking too.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: But um, you know, of course, I would love to see us win, but uh Tennessee is is one of those teams that's uh right now in the running for the college football playoff, they're ranked ranked pretty high in the SEC.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_00: And and at this point in the year, um I I don't want to see a whole lot of disruptions because I because I want to see you know some of these top teams see how they do, if they can make the playoff.
• 11:30
  SPEAKER_00: And uh right now it looks like uh what is it, Alabama, Tennessee, Texas, and Georgia are in from the SEC in terms of the rankings.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh, you know, Ole Miss has a chance to upset Georgia this weekend.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: I I really hope they don't do that, but if they do that, that's gonna be crazy.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna it's gonna turn a lot of stuff around.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but it it's interesting the way they're ranked.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, they've they've still got AM is still ahead of them in the rankings.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: And uh I feel like is LSU ahead of them in the rankings still?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh ahead ahead of which team?
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Ole Miss.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they are.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: But if they if they beat Georgia, that puts them puts them in, I think, unless something crazy happens.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think so too.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um, even with that loss to to Kentucky, which is hard to believe that they lost to Kentucky, but uh hard to believe Notre Dame lost to uh who was that northern Illinois.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: Northern Illinois, yeah.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh it's kind of weird season, but like yeah, like you said, if if Ole Miss somehow gets to win, it's gonna be a huge game in uh in Oxford this weekend.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_01: And uh if Ole Miss somehow beats Georgia, then I think they'll get in.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't see that happening.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: If I had to pick that game, I think Georgia, Georgia's gonna win.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_01: But um yeah, there's some good games this weekend.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Georgia and Ole Miss, and then Alabama and LSU uh every night.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: So I think it's the same time as our game.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, uh near near the end of college football season, this is where the all the playoff races get get kind of crazy.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: Can't drop games right now.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: And uh if you want to stay alive for the um the conference championships and then the playoffs, so yeah.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, so that's another thing that I think is uh not to our advantage.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: Tennessee has motivation because they want to stay in that playoff race, and right so they're gonna be extra focused, not to slip up on a game where where they it could be a trap game like for them.
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: So um I think they'll be extra focused.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: But anyway, it'll be good, it'll be a good trip getting it getting go up there, looking forward to it.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_01: But uh uh on the on the other things of uh Mississippi State Sports, I'm not a big soccer guy at all, but we're soccer team, you know, doing really, really well.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Number one in SC and SEC tournament.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_01: Uh looks like they won in overtime.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, that was a big goal at the end there to win that.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: That was cool.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, props to them.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: They're doing really well.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh and then the basketball game I went Monday night.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's so good to be back in the hump.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, I'm really, really excited about this year's uh basketball team.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, if you listen to the podcast this week with Hubbard, uh he talked about the new new guys coming in, and sure enough, uh Claudel Harris is a stud.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: He played really well the other night.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so yeah, it the basketball team is gonna be fun to watch.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_01: Really, I think they'll make some noise.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: And like we talked about with Josh about how the media always uh picks us down.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: I like that.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're not we're not ranked top 25.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: We're like 10th or so in the SEC, and uh that's what we want, chipping our solar, playing underdog mentality, and that's when we thrive the most.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, uh, I love that.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: I love that going in.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: But uh um I just think we're gonna have a we're gonna have a good season with uh Miss Pitt Basketball.

• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, nice.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think it's after that, and I haven't decided if I'm going to that or not.

  SPEAKER_00: But I'm definitely going to the one in a couple weeks.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: So that'll be cool to see them.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um yeah.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I mean, the the polls, it's uh I think Ole Miss is ranked ahead of us, and you know, I mean, yeah, I guess they got a good transfer class coming in.
• 15:35
