  Speaker 4: Death by a thousand steps or twenty five thousand steps
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: or whatever it is. Yeah, well I think we'll call
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: it a rugman. I don't know what a rugman is,
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: but you can label it on what I'm pissed to
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: talk about here the WNBA, and we don't talk any
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: WNBA unless something like this comes up. The WNBA is
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: in dire need of new leadership, dire need of new leadership.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: The whole league is just a mess. Well, the WNBA
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: posted a video yesterday of Angel Reese and Page Buck
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: betting four hundred dollars on which woman's team would win,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: and the two ladies have money out. They're laughing about it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: They're going to bet. You know, they're putting this bet
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: on this game. The WNBA shared this video on all
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: their social channels and then realized it's a violation of
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: team rules. Why. It's like any other thing in fl
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Major League Baseball, the NBA, college football. You can't gamble
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: on your own team. The WNBA put this video out
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: on their social pages. They should fire the intern that
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: did that, and then they quickly deleted it before people
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: grabbed it with a screen grab and they are getting
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: absolutely torched around the world today. Torch WNBA needs massive
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: leadership change. I mean, the whole league is, as Sage
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: still says, the fact that the league itself posted the video,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: you can't make this stuff up, all right, another I
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: wouldn't call her a clown. But who's getting roasted is
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: We talked about a little bit yesterday. Lara Rutledge on
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Pat McAfee has just kicked a hornet's nest and man,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: they are clowning the SEC when she said the competition
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: within the SEC is so difficult that nine games of
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: craziness week in and week out a little different than
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: other parts she's talking about others conferences said this on
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Pat McAfee, other conferences. Furthermore, they're gassed talking about the
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: SEC teams. But as Brett McMurphy pointed out, the problem
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: with this whole statement is the league hasn't played nine
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: games yet. The league played eight games every year. And
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: we've got some candid words from Kurt Signetty on this
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: and others. As you know, we've got some Tom Fooler
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: going on and you know, somebody put this out here.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: We were talking about those Buffalo Bill uniforms yesterday and
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: somebody compared it and put it next to a Valveleine
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: five W twenty oil container, and that's exactly what those
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: helmets look like. Advanced protection. It looks just like those
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: uniforms at the Buffalo Bill. So we've started out with
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: three straight just Tom Fullery issues here, the WNBA, Laura
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Rutledge in these Buffalo Bill uniforms. Indiana's Kurt Signetti took
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: shots at the SEC today. Quote, we don't run a
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: hype machine up here in the Midwest. We believe everything
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: is earned, not given. When we fall short, we say
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: we fell short. When we don't win, we don't cry
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: a river. We don't whine and complain. That's why we're
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: the best. So again, I know everybody's tired of it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: But this back and forth with the SEC and the
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Big Ten, and two things are going on simultaneously. The
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Big Ten and the SEC are getting at each other,
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: but then privately, the Big Ten and the SEC are
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: on the same team with this college sports deal in
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: fiasco going on in DC, Indiana's Kurt Signetti even before
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: he's been asked about repeating his national championship or national
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: champions He says, quote, I'll be stalking complacency, and what
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: he means by that is I want to win so
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: much that I eventually get complacent, and we're not there yet.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Signeta says, we will stalk complacency. And I'm telling you,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: don't bury this team this year. This team is for real.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: I buried him after the first year because I thought,
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: you know, hey, the Stars aligned year one with Indiana
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: with the right quarterback, they had the right transfers in,
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: caught some people by surprise. The schedule was very loose,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: and they won eleven games, made the playoffs and lost
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: to Notre Dame in round one. Then they did what
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: they did last year. Don't bet this team is really,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: really good and it starts at the top with Kurt Signetti.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Michigan's Kyle Whittingham today Big ten Media Day says there's
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: been a lot of drama he's talking about at Michigan.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: We hope we've come to the end of that. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: he's not wrong. I mean, there has been so much
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: drama at Michigan, from the Connor Stallions deal to the
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: end of the Jim Harbaugh era to the Sharon Moore deal,
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: to the athletics director. It is a lot moving on
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Miami's Miami quarterback the Hurricanes, Darien Mensi was named the
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: ACC preseason Player of the Year. That is no surprise.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: He is the top target as far as players and
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: was in the transfer portal, not just in that league,
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: but in other leagues as well. Mensa gets the first
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: place received the most first place votes at ninety seven,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Southern Methodist quarterback Kevin Jennings second with twenty five, Louisville
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: running back Isaiah Brown sixteen, NC State quarterback CJ. Bailey
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: at fifteen, and then Florida state wide receiver Deuced Robinson
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: at number five. Also, Ted Cruz put this out because
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: they're scrambling in DC right now over this bill because
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: the SEC and Big ten just will not do it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: They're just not going to do it. He said. There's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: confusion about how the CAP and Associated Entity language working
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: to protect college sports act. Let me cleared up the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: CAP as a hard cap, a full stop that loopholes closed.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: I remember we talked about this yesterday. They had money
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: that they're going to circumvent and give everybody and then
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: they're going to put another bit of money on top
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: of it that's going to be for retention. But they
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: haven't ever explained how the loophole is closed. And that's
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: the problem. The SEC and Big ten are asking, like
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: you say, it's closed, How it's closed, it's closed, how
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: it just is, ross Jaldinger says. In the post below,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Senator Cruz says that some conference commissioners want to bar
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: third party party companies associated with schools from striking any
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: and all INIL deals with athletes, even kosher endorsements, contracts.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Cruise contends in the language in the latest bill, it
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: creates a hard cap. So you've got the hard cap
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: language that nobody understands. And then you've got other conferences
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: now coming in and saying, hey, we don't want to
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: allow third party in IL, take it away, which would
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: totally just you know, rightfully, gut Texas A and m
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: in Texas and Miami and all the ones that's got
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: the big third party. This thing's dead. This bill's not
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: going to pass. And we got more on that, but
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: we got to take a time out. We're brought to
• 9:47

  Speaker 8: our aerow athletics programs.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: Absolutely so, man, you tell everybody that I didn't realize
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: this that run you had, you know, just as a
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: media personality or media worker, you had a heck of
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: a run from Clinton to west Point. I worked with
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: the butt up at west Point. We visited west Point
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: last year. We're gonna trying to get there this year.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: First off, that's such a unique place, and I spent
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: the day with west Point. I had never done that,
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: and I didn't really want to leave it was it
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: felt like I was thrown back in nineteen ninety five.
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: Yeah, We've always said it was like a time capsule
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: because my parents grew up in South Jackson. Then when
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: they first came and visited visited West Point, which I
• 13:06
  Speaker 8: started working in West Point actually for the Daily Times Leader,
• 13:09
  Speaker 8: this is a subsidiary of the Starkville Daily News. In
• 13:13
  Speaker 8: twenty twelve, twenty fifteen, they came up and they were like,
• 13:16
  Speaker 8: this is nineteen eighty five again.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: Just the excitement that.
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: Was around those football teams that were wearing the green
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: and white, and then obviously the excitement around here. In
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: twenty sixteen, I was able to do a little spoting
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: for the longtime voice of the arrow Danny C. Davis,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: And that was the year that cam akers and and
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: the Arrows took it to.
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: Starkville and beat Pearl.
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: And then the next year I moved to West Point
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: to join the coaching staff up there and did stats
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: for the varsity team and did some media relations. Also
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: helped Bud Bowen, who is a great friend of mine
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: and really one of the all time play by play
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: radio guys. I mean, if you've ever listened to them,
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: or if you ever get a chance to listen to
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: but it is a fun Friday night, to say the least.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: He retired and came back, didn't he Oh yeah.
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: It's it's it's a it's an ongoing thing for Bud.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: You know, if you watch his Facebook and if you
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: keep up with him. But Bud is like I'm in
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: the building, I'm gonna take a little break for two
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: weeks and then I'm I'm back in the building. But

  Speaker 8: up the stairs and get in the booth and and.
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Tell it like it is. Uh.
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: You know, he's always complimentary of the opponents. He was
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: always you know, I wouldn't say critical, but I would
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: say honest about the performance of the of the Greenies
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: on Friday nights, and I would really, you know, say that.
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: All in all, he loved those boys, and he loved
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: the coaching staff, and and he painted a beautiful picture

  Speaker 8: update on Clinton Narrows dot com, which is our athletics
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: web page that we stock with rosters, schedules, recaps of games,
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: just a myriad of different things there.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: It's that loose end chasing down.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: It's also the promotion of these sports that are starting
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: from women's cross country volleyball, which kicks off tomorrow at
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: the MHSAA Invitational.
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: All of those things.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Are a full slate, while also you know, managing the
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: start of the school year with you know, first two
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: weeks of school already underway with the hybrid schedule here
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: at Clinton Public School District, and so we're you know,
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: media days too. I'm thinking about everything that coming along,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: shaking off the dust of the live stream equipment that
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: you know, in a month or so we'll be using
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: to broadcast Brandon versus Clinton on Huddle TV.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: So there's this a lot that goes on, and you
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: you don't.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Realize that you're in the cyclone until you're in the
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: in the cyclone and it's all spinning around you.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Talk a little bit about, you know, really the momentum
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: here at Clinton, because I mean, you know, football, it
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: feels like it's kind of settled back in. I think
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Judd moving to athletic director, he's done a great job.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: We'll have him on around four fifteen track and field, volleyball, basketball,
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: with a lot of momentum. There's a lot of momentum
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: here in Clinton exactly.
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: And it's not just the teams too, it's the facilities
• 16:40
  Speaker 8: that these teams get to use. You know, you mentioned
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: the track team running through some hurdles right now and
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: working on strides, and that's a new track. That's that's
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: a brand new track that Judd was able to help
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: secure and make sure that you know, we got that
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: put in place last year. We host a ton of
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: track beats and so that that track has been used
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: and it was it was time and Judd delivered and
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: then currently right now it's getting set up for install
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: but we'll have LED lights, so we'll be joining the
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: future this fall. So when you come to Arrowfield or
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: whether that's in the winter time for soccer or if
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: that's this fall for football, you're gonna see LED lights
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: and just kind of catching up with the Joneses a
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: little bit, but that is that momental.
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: And then the reason you want your.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Facilities to look so nice is because you want to
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: motivate your players to say, this is very nice. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: you mentioned something about, you know, seven eight might as
• 17:29
  Speaker 8: well be college. You know, I think that's in my
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: department at least, and I can tell within the athletics department,
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: our goal is to almost treat this like a juco
• 17:37
  Speaker 8: because for a lot of kids, this is maybe the
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: highest level of sport that they will play. And obviously
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: the percentages and statistics say that. However, I really think,
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: you know, it's important that we give them that opportunity
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: to fill big time and I look to do that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, it's an arms race right when we
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: talk about it with a lot of people and a
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: lot of If you're seven eight program and you're not
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: treating it like a college, then you're falling behind. I mean,
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: and just look at Startville, who you guys play in
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: the same region with Jay Hobson's athletic director. Now they
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: moved Rob Morgan over from West Point. He took that job.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: It was John Carr who's in the NFL. You've got
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you know an sid there that came from Jacksonville State,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: Tony and I can't remember Tony's last name, but they
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: are set up like a small college. You seen Gulfport
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: does the same thing. It's happening all over the place.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Oh exactly, and it is an arms race. And it
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: started with Kyle Nichols, who is at JA now three
• 18:33
  Speaker 8: years ago, three or four years ago, just kind of
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: having the idea of supporting our director of information overall
• 18:40
  Speaker 8: for the district and said, hey, that's a lot. It's
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: twenty five varsity teams that you've got to track on
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: top of some junior high teams as well, and just
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: trying to, like you said, keep up with the arms race.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: And that was somewhere we were kind of lacking, was
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: the idea of of sports information and really kind of
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: pushing the promotion of our teams.
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: But also, you know, so giving these kids.
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: You know, a recap that if I have a big
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: game against Pedal, I can upkeep that story and I
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: can have it in a folder or I can have
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: it printed out and framed and something for them to
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: keep up with other than just a yearbook or something.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: And you're right, I just really think you have to
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: have these things now, especially in seven A or you're
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: just kind of falling behind. And you're right, a lot
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: of schools.
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: Are doing that well, Nations on your radio Thursday edition

  Speaker 4: checking in one more time? All right, we'll see if
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: we can get Heath hitting in here in just a bit.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Talking Southern Miss football. There's a lot of questions around
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Southern Miss. Obviously a lot of attrition last year new
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: head football coaching Blake Anderson. Uh, they got a quarterback
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: battle going on. You know, what does that position look like?
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: You know, without a clear starter with bray Line Braxton
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: and his departure, and of course a lot of guys
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: off the transfer portal twenty two percent. I believe returning
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: production on this team. There's a lot of questions, other myths.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I believe they were fourth or fifth in the preseason
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: poll in the Sun Belt by the coaches. And you know,
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: we'll see what this looks like for for Southern miss
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: We'll see if we can t heath up here. In
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: just a bit, let me get some more notes real quick.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: Courtesy of Ross's challenger. In a joint meeting today, Big
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: Ten presidents and athletic directors reviewed the revised Protect College
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: Sports Act, but did not cast a vote. Sources tell
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Yahoo Sports, the SEC, Big twelve and ACC are scheduled
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: to hold separate president calls around well right now, three o'clock.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: You know, that's that's kind of where where they are.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: You know, with the these these meetings of each conference,
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: the Big Ten decigns they're not going to take a vote.
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I would say the SEC is probably not going to vote,
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: and and the Big twelve and the ACC. Uh, they
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: will probably vote for it, because that's kind of what
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: we're seeing. The other two conferences are voting for the
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: two conferences are not, and this whole thing will likely die.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: Big ten and SEC officials who spoke to y'all whose
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: sports still hold concerns, And let's see if we can
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: grab Heath back again. Heath, are you with us?
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: I'm here, my friend. How are you doing, buddy?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: We're doing great. I appreciate you jumping in here with us.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Talk a little southern miss. There is a lot of questions, uh,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: not just a Southern miss, but around the country. But
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: you know, you look at Blake Anderson, you know a
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: lot of newcomers, So you can correct me if I'm wrong.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: I think my notes looking at about twenty two percent production,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of those guys off Charles Huff's
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: team last year gone as they enter fall camp coming up.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: How many officially new guys it's going to be on
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: this team? Do we know?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, Look, they lost ninety eight their production from last year. Wow,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: they've got two percent return. And that's a couple of
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: guys who didn't play a lot offensive line and linebacker.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they have about seventy three seventy four new
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: guys on the team this year clete overhaul. Last year
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: it was like this, But the difference with last year
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: and this year is last year those guys come in,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of them we're playing for Huck at Marshall.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: A lot of the skilled guys, the defensive backs all
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: played together. There was some chemistry there. This year is
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: a totally three different build. These are guys that have
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: come from all over the country, some D one fdsdu
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: CO coming in and trying to put this thing together.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: It's it's a totally different rebuild and probably the toughest
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: in the nation at Blake Anderson aspect.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say I haven't scoured the rosters
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: across the Sun Belt, but I would say that that
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: is is by far the biggest flip of a roster
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: in the conference, is it not?
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: It isn't There some that have, you know, fifty sixty
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: guys that they're bringing in, but nothing like this. I mean,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: as they just have turned everybody's got one or two
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: returning starters on it this other ball, so then mister
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: really doesn't have any so you know, You've got some
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: guys who played a little bit but not much. Uh,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: it's a totally different situation than any other school in
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: the Sunbelt. This is a team that they're having to
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: figure out who's gonna play where, what's the depth chart
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: gonna be. I mean they don't even know. I asked
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: Blake before you know, not too cherry long got ship men,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you even have an idea too deep? He said, I
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: don't think I barely know who's gonna be the traveling
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: team get too deep. So it's gonna be one of
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: those things that they're gonna be going to fall camp.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think he'll name a quarterback, so maybe a
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: week two before the first game, and he'll do that
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: to make you know, trying to get some familiarity to
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: everybody in the starters. But this is a wide open
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: competition and it's gonna be fascinating to watch. I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: the biggest deal for coach Andrewson and coach staff is
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: how long does it take to blend these guys into
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: a cohesive unit. As I said last year, Blake Andrews
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: here is at OC, but those guys played together. A
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: lot of those guys knew each other, so they didn't
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: have to build as much chemistry within the team this year.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: Building chemistry, building cohesion. How long is that gonna take?
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Is it gonna take into the season. Were they able
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to get it done before the season. So I think
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: it's a really fascinating study for college football to see
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: how big of a rebuild this is when you don't
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: have any players who played together from the previous school.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: This is a true breakdown and rebuild of a program.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Visit with Heath Hinton. He is part of Big Gold
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Nation on on three dot com Thursday edition of your program,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Talking Southern's Football. Yeah, it really is. And look, that's
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: a tough task for anybody. I mean, we've seen you know,
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: Dion Sanders went through this year one, We've seen other coaches.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Mike Norvel has had a lot of different faces down
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: at Florida State. When you're talking about the quarterbacks, I
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: know you said it may be week two before he
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: names a starter. That's the week two game against Auburn
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: on the road at Pat Dye Field at Jordan Air Stadium,
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: that'll be on September twelfth. Is there an inkling in
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: your mind on who may have the edge going in
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: the fall.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Camp, not really, because they just it's they spent off
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: all they spent off spring practice really implements, and it
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: really wasn't a battle for depth. It was a battle
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: of learning the system. Everybody coming in learning the new offense,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and everybody's kind of learning from new. Maybe uh Leady
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: had some familiarity and John White familiarity because they were
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: here last year and a lot of the schemes. Even
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: though the coordinators are different, Blake still there, the schemes
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: are the same, but they spent most of the spring
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: really implementing on both sides of the ball. So I
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: don't think they have any idea yet who's going to
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: uh be the starters. I think this summer they're still
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: implementing somewhat. It's just it's so difficult for them to
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: even put a roster, even put a depth chart out.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: As Blake told me, they just have no idea until
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: they really get going. And you know, still got a
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: three or four days of shirts and helmets and then
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: you'll get in the shoulder pads. It's gonna take him
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: some time to figure out who's gonna play where, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: that's even with quarterback positions. But I don't want to
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: lie to the and t oh, yeah, I know I
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: have no idea. Nobody does. I don't think the coaches though,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: who's starting to never position yet. So once again, just
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: fascinating to see how this thing turns around. Comes to
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: be at Southern.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Miss this year, and you're right, that schedule mean you'll
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: get Alcorn State, you know at M. M. Roberts Stadium,
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Carlisle Faulkner Field. Then you'll have to go to Auburn.
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: You'll come back and take on a Yukon team, depending
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: on the year, they can be really salty. You'll go
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: to H. Yulman Stadium down at two Lane at Troy
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: before the conference opener or two lane down at Yelman
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Staium in the Troy on October sixth. That'll be the
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: first Sun Belt game, followed by Arkansas State. So there's
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: there's not a whole lot of time and not a
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: lot of whole you know room for air there early.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: No And you know another scene that coach and go
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: do is is you're gonna go down to Yeoman and
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: play the former head coach at Southern Miss the Hall.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: So I mean it's just a brutal you know, all
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: Corn you should be able to beat all Corn and
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: don't take them lightly. But an FBS should be able
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: to be an FCS team. But that's probably not gonna
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: be the runaway people think it will be. And then
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: you got to make sure fans understand. Look, it may
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: take a few games for them to get going, but
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: you just gotta stay with them, stay with the plan.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Trust that Blake Anderson has rebuilt teams before. He is
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: a winner. He has won a lot of championships of
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: some Belt mount West, so he knows what he's doing.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Just got to give him time. I personally don't think
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: this season. I think this season is gonna be a
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: season where try to build you a nucleus and find
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: out what you have and the next season when you
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: make a run. I see there's so many pieces and
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: things in the way. If Blake Anderson can win five
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: or SIAS games this year, you think you might be

• 33:35
  Speaker 4: High School. Welcome in Chef Catherine Bruce, c HS Culinary
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Arts and I always like to pivot and do things differently,
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: especially Miss Bruce when we get programs like yourself. A
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: lot of people may not know this. I know a
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: lot of people. Do you guys in the culinary side
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: here at Clinton High School kind of really lead the
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: way here in the state with your students. Tell everybody
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: about your program.
• 33:56
  Speaker 10: Yes, we have a three year culinary arts program with
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: over a undred students. Chef Josh Phillips teaches year one.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: He's ever we're teaching right now as we speak, in fact,
• 34:05
  Speaker 10: and I lead the year two program, forty five students
• 34:09
  Speaker 10: about in each of those. And then we have this
• 34:10
  Speaker 10: year ten year three interns and those are our students
• 34:14
  Speaker 10: that we handpick and they step up as leaders mentors.
• 34:18
  Speaker 10: They lead our competition teams as well as helped to
• 34:21
  Speaker 10: run Aero Drive Diner, which is our cafe.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Which is fantastic. By the way, Judd took me through there.
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: I told you a couple of years ago. I was
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: blown away at the facilities. I mean, you know, because
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I'm fifty so I can remember my pe brain mind.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: When we came through the cafeteria, it was I mean,
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: obviously they fed you, it was fine, but it was
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: a little bity cafeteria. When I walk in this thing
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: across the parking lot over here, I feel like I'm
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: in the back of a massive five star restaurant.
• 34:46
  Speaker 10: Yes, we are very thankful for the support from our
• 34:48
  Speaker 10: community that we have. The administration, they are very generous,
• 34:52
  Speaker 10: and the City of Clinton supporting career and technical education
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: to this level is phenomenal. So we are able to
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: give the students a real work based learning experience with
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: a true commercial kitchen like they would see in the industry. Actually,
• 35:06
  Speaker 10: I tell them much larger than they would see in
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: the industry because our kitchen is huge, all of the
• 35:10
  Speaker 10: equipment that they would have in a real commercial kitchen.
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: So they get the experience of hands on learning of
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: what's really out there if they go to work, and.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: You know, just for a port of reference, tell everybody,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: you know, obviously you come from the culinary side. You
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: left you know, private business, you know public you know
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: to come do this.
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: Yes, thirty years in the industry with catering, event planning,
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: personal chefing, found out this was available. Had no idea
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: you could be a high school culinary arts instructor and
• 35:39
  Speaker 10: hands down one of the most amazing jobs I've ever had.
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: But yes, this is my eighth year teaching and I
• 35:45
  Speaker 10: plan on doing it for a while longer. So it's
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: it's phenomenal. These students are great.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Talk a little bit about the competition against Some may know,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: but a lot of people may not.
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: Told you.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: I had a chance to judge one of these a
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: couple of years ago. I said, Hey, I'm going to
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: take it in and see see what's going on. And
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: I got it's to be with the kids, with a
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: lot of people, a lot of different people that were
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: there to judge the food. It's a very challenging process
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: for the young people, guys and girls. Talk a little
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: bit about that.
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: Yes, So when I found out there were competitions available
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: for culinary arts, our program dove right in. We've been
• 36:17
  Speaker 10: to Disney now four times. They have a cook around
• 36:19
  Speaker 10: the World competition in Orlando. We won that twice, which
• 36:22
  Speaker 10: has been fun. We have competed in pro Start which
• 36:26
  Speaker 10: is the National Restaurant Association's benchmark program for the nation,
• 36:30
  Speaker 10: and we placed two years ago fourth place in the nation,
• 36:32
  Speaker 10: which was phenomenal. This past year we came in twelfth,
• 36:35
  Speaker 10: which anything in the top twenty is just still phenomenal.
• 36:39
  Speaker 10: So we hope to compete in that again in the
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: coming years. And Skills USA is another work based learning competition.
• 36:45
  Speaker 10: We were able to compete in the Army National Guard
• 36:48
  Speaker 10: every year puts on a competition for MRIs where we're
• 36:51
  Speaker 10: able to take these army meals and soup them up
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: and make them a little fancier. So lots of opportunities
• 36:56
  Speaker 10: out there. The students love to compete and the best
• 36:59
  Speaker 10: part about the petitions is the travel. We're able to
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: take these students and go around the country, teach them
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: how to navigate an airport, check into a hotel, catch
• 37:07
  Speaker 10: an uber. You live in a big city. So it's
• 37:11
  Speaker 10: it's life skills like that that really make it worthwhile.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: So I was blown away. That is MRI is correct.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Theri's the fact that you know you take an MRI.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I mean, obviously if you went out camping or military
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: stuff that gets you by. But the food that these
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: young people made with it. It blew my mind. I'm
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: out talking about from dessert to main meals. I mean
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: talk a little bit about that, because look, there's no
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: way if you took me in then and said, okay,
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: look we're gonna let you. You're going to stay in
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: here until you can put something like this together, I'd
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: probably never come out because I couldn't do it.
• 37:40
  Speaker 10: Yes, well, they have one hour to figure out this
• 37:43
  Speaker 10: meal and then one hour to cook it. They are
• 37:45
  Speaker 10: allowed to add ten extra ingredients to it because, let's
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: face it, a plane MRI kit's hard to hard to
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: make fancy. So they're able to add ten ingredients to it,
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: such as fresh avocado or maybe some extra pasta. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: they take that and yes, they come up with a beverage,
• 37:59
  Speaker 10: appetizer and entree in a dessert, four plates of each
• 38:03
  Speaker 10: for the judges, and it is It's amazing to see
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: what they can come up with.
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: For sure. Got a couple more minutes here with Mss
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: Catherine Bruce. She is a chs Culinary arts. Also, you guys,
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: do I believe correct me if I'm wrong here, y'all
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: do pregame meals for several of the sports teams here.
• 38:18
  Speaker 10: Yes, yes, so right now we're feeding the band. In fact,
• 38:21
  Speaker 10: we're in about fifteen minutes, we'll be feeding one hundred
• 38:23
  Speaker 10: and fifty of them in the dining room over there,
• 38:26
  Speaker 10: so we feed them three times a week. After that,
• 38:28
  Speaker 10: we'll feed the basketball team for their pre game and
• 38:30
  Speaker 10: pre practice meals when they need them for several of
• 38:34
  Speaker 10: the other teams. And that's a great opportunity for our
• 38:36
  Speaker 10: students to raise money for the program as well as
• 38:39
  Speaker 10: get hands on experience feeding large groups of people, a
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: production of large amounts of food like that.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: So well, look quick, absolutely, we appreciate you taking some
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: time today. Thank you for what you do here. And look,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: I think this is an amazing deal. I know a
