• 1:07
  SPEAKER_01: Good time to be alive, I guess.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's right, man.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_02: A lot's happened since we talked last.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: I remember uh I think you were busy uh seeing some uh patients when I did the last one about the um tribute to Mike Leach.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_01: So we didn't really get to talk about the bowl game.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess we've got to wrap up uh what we thought about the bowl game and and the uh national championship and the college football season of 2022 and focus in on what we got going in 2023 and and we got some hoops up coming up.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: So yes, sir.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we what are your thoughts on the uh on the bowl game?
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: Man, it was a tough game to watch for sure.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was it was one of those games, it was you know felt like it was gonna be one of the three to three to two ball games or something like that for a little while.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_02: Uh not not a whole lot of score, and nobody could really do anything, just a a defensive battle.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: And so I'm glad we were able to pull it out at the end.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of a a weird ending there with the scoop and score at the end.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: And and uh I know some people that had some money on the game gambling were not ex not happy about it, depending on how that went.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um, but I think it was good to get to nine wins that and just you know get one for leech.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_02: I would have hated to have lost that game.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, with all the tributes and everything, I was really hoping we could we could win that one.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm glad we were able to pull it out.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_02: That's the main thing.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, I'm like you, man.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: The game was really kind of boring, and yeah, I thought it was gonna be uh offensive shootout, but um wasn't the case.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh yeah, just glad we got the win.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I love how everyone said that was a perfect Mike Leach ending with the with the score at the very end, you know.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but all the people in Vegas probably were upset that it ruined the point spread like that.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, it was uh it was a good win.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_01: And then ending the game with a with our annual uh bowl game brawl, you know.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's that it's only uh fitting that we ended it with a bowl game brawl.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_01: I still think back to two years ago with Mike Leach was in the stand taking pictures with fans, and we were out there beating up on Tulsa and Tulsa.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um someone they they when Mike Leach came back, they they said, Coach, what did you think about the fight?
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: And he was like, uh what what fight?
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: He didn't even know there was a fight.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what would you tell your your players about the fighting?
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: He goes, Don't do it again.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Don't do it again.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_02: I totally forgot about that.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man, it was classic Mike Leach.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: So uh fitting ending, uh, win the ball game like that, and then have a little brawl at the end of the game.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_01: So uh anyway, that's uh that that wraps up the season.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_01: We got nine wins, and you know, we could have won uh 11 with Kentucky and LSU, but like I said earlier, uh last end of the year, if we had won those two, we might have dropped two that we won.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: So uh nine wins is a heck of a year if you're a Mississippi State fan.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_01: So I remember uh when we were in college, Brandon, uh, we were lucky to get three or four wins.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: So uh win the nine games a year is a big deal.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: And and it just thinks that Mike Leech isn't gonna be around because uh next year, I mean, everyone said that next year's team it reminded people of what it was and eight and Dan Mong's last year 17, going into 18 when he had all those defensive studs there, and we were set up for a good run, and then Moorhead comes in and changes everything up, and we lose five games.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: So um I think that's what everyone was expecting this coming year.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: So we kind of had all the weapons in place, and Mike Leach back another year, and and that we've we're in for a good season.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: So uh it just stinks that the way it all happened, but um I I have faith that uh Ornette can can can lead lead it.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, I'd heard that that coach uh leach um I don't know, I saw hearsay, you know what people say and everything, but I did hear that he had possibly said that he might not be able to complete this coming year with health issues and that he wanted Zach Ornett to take over.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_01: So um, so anyway, Zach Ornette, I think was the guy Leach wanted to begin with to replace him.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: So um I feel comfortable and knowing that he's he's in charge, and uh um we'll just see uh see what happens next year.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: But glad to see the news about uh about Tulu coming back.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: That was in the news yesterday.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um, you know, we lost Ra rah and Dylan Johnson transfer portal, man.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's a different world we're living in these days, man.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: You just never know who's coming and who's going, but um just happy to have uh Tulu back because he's a yeah big part of the team.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yep, I agree.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: And um, you know, I'm I was happy with the RNET hire too.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: And I think it's interesting because on the front end, everybody was saying, oh, yeah, it's gonna be, you know, kind of continuity of of the team and the air raid and everything, but really it seems like he's he's moving away from the air raid, um, gonna kind of do his own thing.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm I'm really kind of excited to see see how that goes um with the new offensive coordinator and um, you know, kind of what direction the offense will take, because we're gonna have a good defensive team.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I I'm really hopefully, you know, the with the supposedly gonna run a little bit more.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I think that with already having a good defense, that's should make a pretty big difference for us.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think so too.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: The defense is is uh is really good and and uh I think that's gonna be a I think that's gonna be a uh strong point on the team next year.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: And um, you know, he's he's a guy that's not gonna not gonna mess around, you know.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: He's not gonna totally different personality, not gonna not gonna joke around, you know, like like he played.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: But uh I think players gonna, you know, he's gonna put some fire into him and and fire him up, and and that's what we we probably need.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: So uh yeah, I think it's gonna be a lot different next year without throwing the ball as much, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_02: And uh like with Tulu coming back, I mean, he has an opportunity to really be a feature guy because not gonna be throwing the ball as much, and so he should be more of a standout instead of you know six or eight receivers making catches during the game.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe he's probably gonna be two or three main guys.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_01: So right, right.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, and then you know, uh and Woody Marks um coming back.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_01: I expect him to have a big, big year, especially if we run the ball more.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: So that'll be uh that'll be good.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: And we got uh eight home games, which is unheard of.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's never happened before.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: So um yeah, I think it's uh I think we're in for a good season.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: We don't have we don't have George on the schedule this year, so that's a good thing.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um and you never know what what the West is gonna be like next year, and just uh we'll just see see what happens.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm looking forward to it.
• 8:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I think uh I think we'll we'll honor, I'm sure they're gonna be a big honor or tribute to Coach Leach in the first game of the first home game next year.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: And uh yeah, just unfortunate.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: We really wish he could still be be here with us, man.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: We uh be missed from now till forever.
• 8:18

  SPEAKER_01: Um, yeah, new AD.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's gonna be cool.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I like I like getting someone uh new blood in.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: So uh just uh starting fresh and looks like he's a sharp guy, knows what he's doing.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_01: So um good things happening.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: And um and then what do you what do you think about wrapping up football talk?
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh um the Georgia Bulldogs, man.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_01: You know, beat the Georgia Bulldog.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: You can feel the Bulldog bite as our buddy.
• 12:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: TCU felt that bite, didn't they, man?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: They felt the bite, man.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_02: I was surprised.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um well you you sent me that that thing that Kirby had, the locker room speech before the game, I guess.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I guess they he got them pretty fired up for that.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_02: But man, I didn't expect that.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um, especially the way they played in the first game.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I mean, this barely barely got out from Ohio State.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't know if it was more one of those Georgia, Georgia games where they didn't play up to their full potential or if Ohio State was really that good.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Um but either way, I expected that to be more of a a game.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: And uh TCU, I mean, I thought they were they were gonna put up some points, I thought, but yeah, it's nice.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_01: Wouldn't mind TCU uh winning it because of the connection with uh with Mike Leach, you know, their coach.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Sonny, uh Sonny Dyke was uh um product of Mike Leach and they were in the air raid and all that.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: So I thought that would have been cool.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_01: I I but I thought they would put up put up a more of a fight, but I guess they just got lucky and beating Michigan because I feel like the Michigan-Georgia game is the one everybody wanted to see, and I think that would have been more more of a more of a game, but that's how it goes, man.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: You you can't, I mean, you gotta win the game on the field, and DCU deserved it because they beat Michigan.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: So just uh, but I think it would have been a better game that way.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: But just felt like that Ohio State uh Georgia game, you know, that was so cool how that game ended at the stroke of midnight.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: How weird was that?
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was right at the exact time.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I feel like that was more of a national that's what we wanted the national championship game to be like.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: That game was yeah, was awesome.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, that's crazy.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, that this the TCU game there just absolutely blow out.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_01: But Georgia, I mean, they started the season one and finished the season one.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: You rarely see something like that happening, and you know, it was funny seeing uh Nick Saban's face when um what's the guy uh for Georgia, David Palm?
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: David, is it David Palmer or Green?
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh no, Palmer.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: Oh uh Pollack.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: David Pollack, yeah, yeah.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_01: He said, uh he said, uh, well, it looks like Georgia's taking over college football as a dynasty now.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: And Nick Saban is like, you could just tell he was just like, oh man.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: So so if you're out there a Bama fan listening, you know, I think Bama's gonna be fired up next year.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'd be that's where I'd be taking picking next year because they could they have some fire under them after this year.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um you know that uh what that reminded me of was you remember have you seen that meme that curb your enthusiasm with uh when Eli was in the in the box when Peyton won the Super Bowl?
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, and they show his face and it goes like somebody somebody needs to do that.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, if I was picking the early projections for 2023, I think I'd be rolling with our buddy, what's the guy's name?
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Roll Tide Willie.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: Roll Tide Willie, man.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: He I think the tide's gonna roll next year.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but uh yeah, it was cool to see Georgia win it back-to-back years, and then I hadn't seen a back-to-back champ since Pemma did it.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: And uh it's so hard to do, man.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: I if they do a three-peat, that'll be really something, but uh I don't know.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting to see see how that takes place.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: But um, but yeah, it's funny how old Miss, you know, they started off so hot, seven and oh, they played all those cupcakes, and then and then they got to the meat of the schedule, and lo and behold, Mississippi State finishes in the top 25, and Ole Miss done.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: Who would have thought?
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_01: Who would have thought?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, love uh college football, man.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: Hate to see it go, but hey, it'll be here soon.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Now we got hoops to focus on.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_01: But uh, you know, I feel like our hoops team was kind of doing like Ole Miss football, you know.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: They started off really, really hot in the non-conference, and and I don't know if they were all cupcakes or what, but once that big boy started with SEC, he starts struggling, but they just gotta learn that learn to shoot the ball and make free throws.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's a big story.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man, Mississippi State basketball is freaking making missing free throws.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: But I mean, how does how does that happen?
• 17:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's so frustrating because it's been every it's not been this coach, it's been every every single coach.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's like you know, just can't make free throws.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_02: And you watch all these other teams in the NCA tournament, they got these guys that shoot 80 and 90 percent from the free throw line.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, we I I couldn't tell you we've ever had anybody that shoots better than 70 from the free throw line.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's bad.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: I I just don't understand it.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's uh obviously it's mental like the freaking Cowboys kicker the other night, missing all those field goals.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's a head case, man.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: You go into it knowing when you've missed the zone that you're gonna miss it, and then you miss it.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_01: So um, but I don't know how to improve it, but they just need to keep uh keep shooting them and and see what happens.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: But I did it was promising that the last game we played the other night, we did shoot better.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, they were in that game for a while.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were in the game for a while, and then the game before that, you know, I think we were 0 for 18 from three pointers.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, it's a bad.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_02: I think they made Georgia made like something, was it like 11 or something?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_02: It's they made a lot.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: So it's a shooting team, but we got some height up under the goal.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we got those guys.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh one guy transferred with when Jan came with Jans, he's 6'11.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: So, I mean, we got some under the goal that look like trees, man.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: Just just feed them the ball, but they they just can't shoot it.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_01: We don't really have a good shooter on the team besides Shakil Moore, I think, is a prior best shooter.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_01: But uh Tolu, man, is supposed to be the leader of the team and the star, man.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_01: He's just struggling from the free throw line, and it's just uh it's tough, man.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_01: Once, especially once you get in an SEC play, it's really tough.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_01: So uh, I don't know how many wins we can get, but I know expecting to make the tournament this year.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I think a lot of people after that hot start non-conference were thinking that like, oh yeah, we're gonna make the tournament, but yeah, you know, year one, you gotta get.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: I really like Chris Jans.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: I think he's uh good at hire.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: And um, once he gets his recruiting guys in, I think he's gonna make some noise and and uh it'll be good to see Mississippi State basketball back.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: Hope uh, hope it can get back like it was when Stanisber is here because those are fun time.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know, and and uh it's a good sign that he's he took care of the non-conference schedule, which is what what we should do, and then you know have a chance in the SEC.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: But I didn't realize just I mean, our front, our first few games in SEC play it's tough.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Tennessee twice, Alabama, Auburn, and then Ole Miss was like the only you know winnable game.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, not winnable, but just right that that wasn't difficult.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_02: So hopefully the the back half of the schedule lightens up a little bit and maybe we can get closer to 500 in the SEC and you know, be decent.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_02: Because I mean, some of these teams, like we hung around with Tennessee.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: If we could have just made some shots, yeah in it.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: So maybe at the end of the year they they start shooting a little better and can make a little run in the SEC tournament or something.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_02: But either way, it's it's exciting.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm tuning into the games now and I'm paying attention to the games, whereas the last couple years it's I was I had no interest at all.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_02: So right.
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's uh it's it's a good sign.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um and I like the women's coach too.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think he he's a good recruiter.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_01: So I feel like that we got two good up and coming coaches and men's and women.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I think it's just gonna just people have to be patient and give them time and get their own people in there and hopefully make some noise in a few years.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we got that.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_01: And then we got baseball coming up here next month.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: And um, I don't know.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: Hopefully we'll do surely we'll be doing do better than we did last year.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: But uh yeah, uh that'll be fun, ready to get back to the dude, man.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: So um, ready for warm weather, get back to the dude, he'll be here before we know it.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that's about it.
• 21:00
  SPEAKER_01: And I think we're we're gonna have uh have a uh guest talking about MSU hoops pretty soon before we're back player when we were in college.
• 21:07

  SPEAKER_02: No, you know, I'm I'm excited.
• 21:17

• 21:33
  SPEAKER_01: So speaking of uh speaking of NFL playoffs, uh what about Dak uh beating up on uh Tom Brady the other night?
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was that was really surprising.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, when I saw he drew Brady, I was like, oh man, here we go again.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: The Cowboys leaked out and Brady, man, he's I don't know, they didn't look too hot this year with the Bucks.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't everybody saying that he might change teams next year, might draw he might go to the Raiders, who knows?
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_01: But definitely was was different seeing him scrubble like that.

• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: They get the 49ers this weekend.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's who knocked them out last year, and um, I think if they can take care of business with 49ers, I mean why not why not the cowboys this year?
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll see.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be pretty pretty tall order to go out there, but 49ers don't have a I mean it's their third string quarterback, so they're pretty good here.
